C
A
A
Thank
you.
So
we
have
four
proclamations
which
is
more
than
what
we
usually
have
on
on
on
a
Monday
evening.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
read
them
all
collectively,
first
after
the
proclamation
has
been
read,
if,
if
you're
here
receiving
the
proclamation,
we'll
ask
you
to
please
say
a
few
words
and
then
we'll
move
to
the
to
the
next
Proclamation,
but
please
stay
after
we've
done
reading
all
four,
then
we'll
do
pictures
right
after
that.
A
So
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
back
and
forth
four
different
times,
which
was
going
to
be
my
exercise
for
this
evening,
but
we
can
hold
off
on
that.
Yes,
council
members
on
pardon
me
thank.
E
A
A
F
And
whereas
long
delays,
sometimes
decades
often
occur
between
when
symptoms
first
appear
and
when
individuals
get
help
making
early
identification
and
treatment.
Critical
in
the
successful
management
of
mental
health
conditions
and
whereas,
through
public
education,
further
awareness
and
reduction
of
stigma
associated
with
mental
illness.
The
lives
of
people
and
of
individuals
and
families
impacted
by
mental
health
conditions
can
be
greatly
improved.
F
And
whereas
local
providers,
including
crisis
connections,
Nami
Eastside,
youth,
East,
Side
services
and
others
have
been
responding
to
the
needs
of
people
with
mental
health
conditions
in
Bellevue.
By
working
to
transform
the
quality
of
life
for
people
vulnerable
to
mental
illness.
Through
a
broad
spectrum
of
care
and
whereas
the
Bellevue
city
council
approved
new
investments
in
2023
for
Behavioral,
Health,
Resource
sources
and
a
community
crisis
assistant
team
that
assists
community
members
in
crisis,
diverting
them
from
jails
or
hospitals
and
providing
appropriate
follow-up,
mental
health
care
and
case
management.
Afterwards.
F
Now,
therefore
I
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
a
city
council,

I'm
still
going
to
be

again,
we're
very

all
of
us
need

Thank

a
picture
after
we
do
all
four.
So
please
don't
leave
yet
okay
great!
Thank
you
all
right!
We're
going
to
do
this
a
little
bit
out
of
order.
The
next
one
is
going
to
be
the
Jewish
American
Heritage,
Month,
Proclamation
and
I
have
the
honor
of
reading
that
one.
A
And
whereas
this
community
of
neighbors
friends,
colleagues
and
family
members
has
offered
in
such
a
way
of
innovation,
creativity
and
Lasting
contributions
to
our
common
knowledge,
but
has
also
historically
been
subject
to
discrimination
to
hatred
and
violence
that
we
continue
to
struggle
with
today
and
whereas
anti-Semitism
impacts,
millions
of
Jews
and
people
of
all
backgrounds
around
the
globe.
The
Anti-Defamation
leagues
tracks,
anti-sem
anti-semitic
incidents
in
2022
record,
3697,
incidents
of
assault
of
harassment
and
vandalism
against
Jewish
people
in
the
U.S,
the
highest
number
recorded
since
they
began
moderate
monitoring
these
Trends
in
1979.
A
and
whereas
Bellevue
strongly
stands
against
hate
against
bias
against
violence
based
on
race,
nationality,
gender,
disability
or
religion,
and
encourages
victims
or
Witnesses
of
anti-Semitism
or
hate
in
Bellevue
to
report
it
to
the
Bellevue
Police
Department.
And
whereas,
as
supporters
and
allies
of
our
Jewish
Community,
the
city
council
proclaimed
in
2022
our
condemnation
of
anti-Semitism
and
remain
committed
to
our
vision
of
welcoming
the
world
and
recognizing
our
diversity
as
our
strength
for
our
character
and
whereas
we
are
pleased
to
recognize
and
celebrate
the
resilience.
A
The
faith
and
Heritage
of
this
community,
whose
values
whose
culture
and
contributions
have
shaped
our
culture
through
the
years
and
will
continue
to
do
so
into
the
future.
Now
therefore,
I
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington,
and
on
behalf
of
that
city
council,
do
hereby
Proclaim
May
2023
as
Jewish
American,
Heritage
Month
in
Bellevue,
and
encourage
all
organizations
and
members
of
the
community
to
learn
more
about
the
Heritage
and
contributions
of
our
of
our
Jewish
community
and
work
together
to
end
hate
and
end
anti-semitism.
A
H
These
are
wonderful
opportunities
to
learn
more
about
one
another
honoring
communities,
their
unique
histories
and
contributions
that
together
comprise
the
beautiful
tapestry
of
this
country
in
2006,
President,
George
W
bush
declared
may
as
Jewish
American
Heritage
Month.
Subsequent
proclamations
were
issued
by
presidents,
Obama,
Trump
and
Biden
that
celebrate
Jewish
Americans
and
encourage
others
to
learn
more
about
Jewish
Heritage
and
the
impactful
contributions
to
this
country
by
Jewish
Americans.
H
H
Grateful
for
the
safe
haven
that
America
provided
to
many
Jews
escaping
discrimination,
persecution
and
genocide,
the
freedom
to
practice
Judaism
and
for
the
plentiful
opportunities
here
Jewish
Americans
have
and
continue
to
serve
in
the
military
as
public
officials,
diplomats,
Nobel,
Prize
winners,
Supreme,
Court
justices.
They
are
at
the
helm
of
universities
and
corporations.
They
are
advancing
medicine
and
science
they're
in
the
entertainment
performing
and
visual
arts
and
they're,
also
at
the
Forefront
of
causes
concerning
human
rights
and
the
to
further
and
ensure
the
freedoms
and
Liberties
of
all
people
and
more
and
I.
A
All
right
so
next
on
our
list
is
going
to
be
a
national,
safe
boating
and
paddling
week.
Proclamation
read
by
council
member
Robertson.
I
This
past
weekend,
my
18
year
old
daughter
was
pounding
on
my
Samantha.
She
is
a
champion
swimmer,
she's,
a
lifeguard,
and
she
had
a
life
vest
with
her.
She
found
in
the
middle
of
the
lake-
well
not
quite
in
the
middle,
but
way
far
up
from
Shore
two
12
year
old
boys
on
a
floaty,
no
life
vest,
they
were
exhausted,
they
couldn't
get
back
to
shore,
they
called
her
and
they
they
asked
her.
She
told
them
and
they
wouldn't
take
her
life
vest
from
her.
She
offered
it.
I
They
wouldn't
take
it
so
because
she
had
a
life
vest
because
she
dragged
them
in.
She
probably
saved
those
two
boys,
but
they
were
out
there
I
mean
I'm
getting
upset
because
drowning
is
such
a
terrible,
terrible
thing,
but
but
it
just
goes
to
show
how
important
it
is
for
people
to
wear
their
life
vests
and
learn
to
swim.
I
Whereas
recreational
boating
is
a
popular
activity
in
the
many
lakes
and
Waters
around
Bellevue,
and
whereas
Knowledge
and
Skills
are
important
in
reducing
human
error
and
improving
judgment,
allowing
voters
to
take
precautionary
measures
to
protect
themselves
and
their
friends
and
family,
and
whereas
failing
to
follow
nautical
rules
using
drugs
or
alcohol,
while
controlling
a
boat
or
choosing
not
to
wear
a
life,
vests
add
significant
risks
and
whereas
the
proper
equipment
such
as
life,
jackets
and
preparedness
activities
such
as
checking
the
water
ahead
of
time,
saves
lives
and
whereas
the
U.S
Coast
Guard
and
the
American
Boating
Club
of
Bellevue
are
invested
in
the
well-being
of
the
community
and
are
committed
to
providing
free
vessel
safety
checks
for
the
community.
I
Now,
therefore,
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue,
Washington,
on
the
behalf
of
the
city
council,
to
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
May
20th
to
26th
as
National,
safe,
boating
and
paddling
week,
and
urge
all
citizens
to
practice
year-round
safe
voting
practices
and
to
vote
smart
boat
safe
and
wear
it.
While
on
the
water
I
apologize
for
getting
a
little
choked
up,
I
didn't
realize
that
was.
It
was
going
to
hit
me
that
hard
of
those
12
year
old
boys
being
such
at
risk,
but
anyway
and
Rihanna.
A
You
councilman
Robertson
yeah.
We've
got
Dale
vodica
Vice
division,
Commander
the
U.S
Coast
Guard
auxiliary,
who
will
receive
the
proclamation
if
you'd
like
to
come
down?
If
he's
here.
J
Thank
you,
so
thank
you.
Joining
me
at
the
table
is
the
current
Commander
for
the
Bellevue
America's
Boating
Club
is
what
we're
calling
ourselves
now.
You
see
the
Bellevue
Power
Squadron
and
the
Vice
patella
Commander
from
the
local
flotilla,
the
albotica
vice
division
Commander
for
division,
two,
which
is
the
greater
Seattle
area.
J
Thank
you
for
again
for
being
for
recognizing
a
national
safe
boating
week.
We.
J
This
time,
because,
as
the
council
member
indicated,
this
is
probably
the
most
dangerous
time
of
the
year,
the
weather
outside
is
nice
and
warm,
but
that
water
is
just
cold.
J
So
we
would
like
to
we
appreciate
your
effort,
the
city
of
Bellevue,
thank
you
for
recognizing
that
you
probably
have
more
shoreline
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
than
any
other
East
Side
City.
If
you
can
see,
if
you
can
count,
if
you
add
up
Lake,
Washington,
Lake
Sammamish
and
the
various
Lakes
within
the
city
boundaries.
J
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
of
recognition
of
that.
Thank
you.
K
I
would
like
to
thank
the
mayor
and
the
members
of
the
council.
The
Power
Squadron
is
an
educational
organization.
We
give
classes,
a
lot
of
them
are
free
at
West,
Marine,
others
we
charge
for
the
supplies
to
teach
and
we
will
be
doing
or
finishing
up
the
spring
classes.
We'll
start
again
in
the
fall.
We
also
have
a
life's
best
loaner
program
that
we
will
be
doing
in
June
and
getting
life
vests
out
to
all
the
places
where
you
put
a
boat
in
and
we're
looking
at,
maybe
like
Sammamish.
K
We
were
in
the
opening
day
parade
and
our
message
was:
wear
your
life
jacket.
We
had
20
people
on
our
boat,
they
all
had
life
jackets
and
they
were
very
noisy.
If
you
were
anywhere
near
the
water,
you
would
have
heard
them.
Yelling
wear
your
life
jacket,
so
we're
that's.
Our
main
thing
right
now
is
promoting
our
life
jackets
and
thank
you
for
your
Proclamation.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
coming
down
and
we'll
get
pictures
shortly,
we
have
one
more
Proclamation
this
evening:
motorcycle
safety,
Awareness
Month
Proclamation,
which
will
be
read
by
councilmember
bartsdale.
All.
L

And
whereas
many
multi-vehicle
crashes
involving
motorcycles
are
caused
when
other
drivers
do
not
see
the
motorcyclist
and
whereas
the
national
highway
tree

traffic

administration.
States
motorcyclists
are
about
28
times
more
likely
than
people
in
passenger
cars
to
die
in
a
traffic
crash
and
whereas
there
were
1955
motorcycle
crashes
in
Washington
state
in
2022,
including
125
fatalities,
and
whereas
the
Bellevue

department
and

The
loss
of
Officer
Jordan
Jackson
on
November
21st
2022,
who
died
while

Bellevue,
and
whereas
it
is
the
responsibility
of
all
who
put
themselves
behind
the
will
to
increase
their
awareness
of
motorcyclists
and
to
obey
all
traffic
laws
and
whereas

L
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Barksdale
I
know
he
was
running
a
little
late,
but
as
Paulo
abalore
here
from
the
president
of
the
desmo
Northwest
Ducati
Club.
Is
he
here
yet
he
is
not
well,
hopefully
he'll
get
here
before
we
take
a
picture
at
the
end
there
or
or
would
you
want
to
say
anything
additionally,
there
councilmember
Barksdale.
A
A
D
D
I
B
Yes,
thank
you
Deputy
Amir.
There
are
eight
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening.
So
with
that
all
remind
folks
that
oral
communication.
A
M
B
Okay,
thank
you,
okay.
So,
as
I
was
saying,
we
have
eight
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening
for
oral
Communications
and
I'll
just
remind
folks
that
oral
Communications
is
for
a
period
of
no
longer
than
30
minutes.
Each
speaker
will
be
allowed
three
minutes
to
speak
and
only
three
people
will
be
allowed
to
speak
to
one
side
of
a
particular
Topic.
In
addition,
I
need
to
remind
everyone
that,
in
compliance
with
Washington
state
public
disclosure
laws,
no
election
related
topics
may
be
discussed
during
oral
Communications
or
other
public
participation
points
of
tonight's
agenda.
B
This
includes
discussion
of
ballot
measures,
endorsement
of
candidates
or
political
parties,
or
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
campaign,
including
your
own.
Any
speaker
who
begins
discussing
topics
of
this
nature
will
be
given
a
verbal
warning,
as
this
is
considered
a
disruption
to
our
meeting
and
may
be
asked
to
be
removed
from
the
council
chambers
and
with
that
I'll
call
our
first
Speaker,
who
is
Jane
Morton,
who
I
believe
is
here
in
person.
Thank
you.
E
My
name
is
Jay
Morton.
You
heard
that
I've
been
a
resident
of
Bellevue
for
over
50
years,
a
retired
Bellevue
teacher,
an
education
coordinator
for
eastside
Heritage
Center
for
19
years,
and
again,
thank
you
for
the
council
for
all
your
support.
Over
the
years
tonight,
I
am
speaking
on
behalf
of
save
Coal
Creek.
E
My
work
for
EHC
has
included
a
collaboration
with
the
Bellevue
School
District
to
help
students
better
understand
where
they
live,
since
there
is
no
History
Museum
in
Bellevue.
This
involves
pictures
documents,
primary
secondary
documents,
newspapers
books
and
trips
to
historical
sites,
one
of
our
most
popular
field.
Trips
is
the
mining
area
off
of
Lakemont
at
Coal,
Creek
Park
and
Cougar
Mountain
Regional
County
Park.
E
The
students
are
immersed
in
the
history
of
the
area
and
must
imagine
what
it
would
have
been
like
between
1890
and
1920.
When
the
mines
were
fully
operating,
they
explore
the
trails
with
our
guides
to
better
understand
what
was
there.
What
makes
this
field
trip
truly
special,
though,
is
the
quiet
of
the
bedos
and
forested
areas.
E
My
favorite
still
is
the
red-breasted
sap
sucker
that
we
watched
for
a
long
time
and
there's
other
Wildlife
too,
as
Bellevue
grows.
These
areas
have
become
harder
and
harder
to
find,
especially
with
the
historical
interest
for
our
students,
so
I'm
asking
tonight
for
the
preservation
of
the
Coal
Creek
area
for
the
coming
Generations.
Thank
you.
N
A
dirty
Mafia,
my
name
Alex
Zimmerman
and
I,
live
in
Bellevue
for
more
than
35
years.
First,
what
is
I
speak
about
situation?
What
is
absolutely
unique?
Right
now:
consult
together,
Democrat
Council,
together
with
Amazon
Corporation,
together
with
real
estate
owner.
You
know
what
is
mean
will
bring
Bellevue
to
Pure
fascism,
a
classic
fascism
when
Amazon
brings
30
000
people
from
Django
situation
will
be
critical
for
Bellevue
in
everybody
knows
this.
What
is
will
be
happen?
N
For
food
crime
is
Services,
price
will
be
good
to
go
like
a
crazy.
What's
happening
this
situation,
almost
hundred
thousand
low
income
people
will
be
moved
out
from
Bellevue.
It's
very
important
so
need
talking
about
this
very
serious.
We
need
stopping
these
kinds
of
fascism.
Is
this
only
one
point?
What
is
AC
another
Point?
What
is
they
see?
Absolutely
critically,
don't
have
a
knowledge
in
American
history,
Bellevue,
First
City,
when
white
people
a
Jew
Christian,
you
know
what
is
mean
a
minority.
N
How
is
this
possible?
This
look
to
me
like
a
pure
Holocaust
and
Renaissance
in
Bellevue,
first
city
in
America.
What
has
happened
in
this
when
I
come
to
Bellevue
more
than
35
years
ago,
I
surprised,
intelligent,
nice,
beautiful
city
right
now
will
be
look
like
a
nightmare
and
look
what
has
happened
outside
is
look
like
a
Bellevue
under
hurricane.
You
know
what
is
mean
all
Builder
here.
How
is
this
possible?
N
D
N
It's
happened
right
now
with
Democratic
Mafia.
You
destroy
us
totally.
So
I
speak
right
now
to
everybody.
We
need
clean
this
chamber
from
this
bandita
from
this
Mafia
who
make
us
life
miserable
every
year,
is
God
worse
and
worse
and
worse
is
don't,
go
better,
I'm
witness
for
more
than
35
years
and
I
know
what
is
I'm
talking
Vineyard
make
Bellevue
great
again
stand
up.
America
thank.
B
O
Yeah
good
evening,
Etc
to
the
city
council
and
all
the
other
attending
residents
of
Bellevue
myself,
my
name
is
Patrick
sathina,
then
a
resident
of
Bellevue
since
2006..
Let
me
State
my
problem.
Frankly,
my
main
safety
concern
these
days
is
the
Bellevue
Police
Department,
those
armed
thugs
are
my
biggest
concern
and
I
have
been
trying
to
politely
address
my
concerns.
O
In
the
past
few
City
Council
meetings
and
I
have
been
repeatedly
reassured
by
somebody
I
think
it
was
mayor,
John,
oh,
what's
her
name
something
Lynn
Johnson,
something
that's
I'm,
a
misinformed
individual
about
yeah,
City,
budgeting
concerns
and
that
somebody
will
be
in
touch
with
me.
Nobody
who
has
been,
but
yesterday
I
got
back
from
a
vacation
and
finally,
somebody
has
been
in
touch
with
me
and
in
the
form
of
a
water
shut-off
notice.
My
water
has
been
shut
off.
Thank
you.
O
That
means
I
am
getting
through
to
somebody
that
gives
me
great
relief,
something
somebody's
listening.
It
seems,
and
the
last
time
I
ran
out
of
time
before
I
finished.
Talking
about
the
friends
and
family
policy
adopted
by
the
Bellevue
police,
it
seems
because
it
seems
when
they
searched.
My
house
or
arrest
me,
random
people,
friends
and
family
can
come
along,
take
whatever
stuff
they
want
to
from
my
home,
not
return
it,
and
it's
all.
Okay,
big.
B
Thank
you,
I
was
assuming
he
was
going
to
come
back.
It
appears
he's
having
some
bandwidth
issues,
we're
gonna,
stop
the
timer
and
move
on
to
the
next
speaker
and
we
can
Circle
back
to
Mr
satyanathan.
The
next
speaker
is
Sonia
Forster,
who
is
also
joining
us
virtually
Miss
Forster.
Can
you
hear
me.
P
My
council
members
I
am
testifying
industry
Association,
representing
heavy
civil
and
commercial
contractors
of
all
sizes.
We
have
engaged
as
much
as
we've
been
able
during
the
development
of
the
apprenticeship
policy
before
you
this
evening.
Our
members
appreciate
each
of
you
who
took
the
time
to
hear
from
Prime
contractors
specialty
contractors
in
our
Region's
women
and
minority
owned
businesses.
P
While
we
are
very
supportive
of
state
registered
apprentices
and
the
apprenticeship
system
in
our
state
is
in
need
of
Reform
if
it
is
going
to
be
available
to
all
instead
of
exclusive
to
some.
We
look
forward
to
a
day
when
our
state
registered
apprenticeship
pool
is
more
diverse
and
meets
bellevue's
intent
that
it
supports
Dei
goals.
P
With
that
in
mind,
Please
be
aware
of
how
other
exclusionary
policies
can
work
together
with
our
state
registered
apprenticeship
system
to
even
further
exclude
wimby
contractors
and
reduce
diversity
among
new
workers.
Coming
into
our
industry,
for
example,
the
Port
of
Seattle
just
released
a
2022
Workforce
report
showing
exclusionary
project
labor
agreements,
also
known
as
Community
Workforce
agreements
caused
a
dramatic
decrease
in
the
apprenticeship
Apprentice
diversity
compared
to
non-pla
projects.
P
Please
be
vigilant
as
the
Bellevue
apprenticeship
policy
is
rolled
out
and
other
exclusionary
policies
are
brought
to
your
attention.
As,
you
move
forward
with
diversity
in
mind.
We
ask
that
you
carefully
craft
your
process
and
fully
engage
your
stakeholders
and
communities
to
ensure
everyone
can
prosper.
Thank
you.
O
One
minute,
thank
you,
so
it
seems
the
Bellevue
city,
police,
friends
and
family
policy
extends
to
the
city
council
as
well.
Maybe
mayor,
Lynn
Robinson
has
friends
and
family
in
the
Water
Department.
Oh
yeah
he's
asking
uncomfortable
questions
shut.
His
water
off
that'll
show
him,
but
yeah
I'm
in
the
process
of
dealing
with
my
issues
legally,
but
I
have
a
few
names
to
mention
one
highly
trained.
O
B
Q
Substitute
Senate,
Bill,
6126
and
5320
have
been
passed,
requiring
apprenticeship
programs
for
the
commercial
electrical
industry
with
most
public
projects
are
commercial
electrical
or
commercial
and
Industrial.
Also
at
a
state
level,
apprenticeships
are
solely
starting
to
become
a
requirement
and
other
trades
as
well.
The
apprenticeship
infrastructure
is
slowly
being
built
out
yet,
and
it
takes
years
to
get
a
new
program
approved
as
much
as
training
and
expanding
the
construction
industry
is
important,
expanding
and
creating
small
businesses.
Training
agents
is
equally
as
important.
Q
I
fear,
ordinance.
6741
is
only
quickening
the
death
of
minority
and
small
businesses
and
making
it
more
difficult
for
persons
to
start
a
new
business
and
leaving
the
large
corporations,
who
already
have
the
apprenticeship
infrastructure
in
place
to
perform
all
Contracting
work,
because
most
minority
and
small
businesses
who've
been
on
public
work
are
owner
operators
and
families
and
self-perform
all
labor.
Q
When
a
new
business
starts,
it's
difficult
to
break
into
the
commercial
Market
again
the
good
old
boys
club
most
start
out
performing
whatever
work.
They
can
get
10
commercial,
90
residential
to
work
up
to
the
50
50..
When
a
small
business
grows,
they
can
become
large
enough
to
become
training,
agents
and
hire.
Apprentices.
I
know
you're
thinking
that
one
in
two
million
dollar
projects
are
large,
but
for
a
subcontractor
the
portion
may
only
be
10
percent.
The
way
the
market
and
reflation
is
right.
Q
Now
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
project
can
easily
be
completed
by
a
small
business.
As
I
mentioned,
apprenticeships
are
hard
to
get
approved.
The
current
law
allows
competing
apprenticeship
programs,
the
right
to
object
to
new
programs
and
attempting
to
get
approved
I'm
currently
trying
to
get
a
program
approved
for
the
last
two
and
a
half
years.
My
program
is
exempt
in
one
area
of
the
standards
and
the
objector
was
still
allowed
to
object
to
my
object
and
slow
down
my
process.
Q
Q
C
Good
evening
my
name
is
Amber
McGinnis
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
lyuna,
which
is
the
laborers
International
Union
of
North
America
I'm,
a
journey
level
I'm
a
journey
level.
Worker
and
I
am
also
an
instructor
at
a
pre-apprenticeship
called
Anew.
A
new
stands
for
apprenticeship
and
non-traditional
employment
for
women.
I
speak
today
on
behalf
of
moving
forward
with
legislation
that
requires
apprenticeship
utilization
for
the
major
city
projects
and
also
to
thank
the
mayor,
the
full
city,
council
and
everybody
else
involved
for
all
of
your
hard
work
in
the
last
two
years.
C
I
know
it's
long
days
and
long
nights
to
push
us
forward
and
I
appreciate
all
of
your
effort
on
that
I
started
my
construction
career
10
years
ago,
as
a
stay-at-home
mom
I
needed
a
way
to
make
a
living
career.
I
was
in
an
abusive
marriage
and
I.
Had
four
children
I
had
a
support
on
my
own
because,
as
a
woman,
I
did
not
look
like
a
typical
construction
worker.
It
was
difficult
to
get
my
foot
into
the
door
in
a
non-union
work,
because
I
joined
my
Union
as
a
labor
and
they
had
apprenticeship.
C
Utilization
I
was
able
to
give
the
opportunity
the
chance
to
pave
way
for
myself
and
for
my
children
to
take
care
of
them.
When
I
got
out
into
the
field,
there
were
difficulties,
they
said
Amber.
You
do
not
look
like
a
construction
worker,
but
you
work
like
one
and
they
take
that
same
sentiment
to
my
students.
B
M
M
M
B
R
R
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members.
My
name
is
Chad
vacuum
with
the
Housing
Development
Consortium,
who
convenes
the
East
Side,
affordable,
housing
coalition
and
I
appreciate
the
chance
to
comment
tonight
on
the
land
news
code,
amendment
to
allow
permanently
affordable,
multi-family
housing
on
faith
on
land
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council,
the
Planning
Commission
and
staff's
ongoing
efforts
to
bring
more
affordable
housing
or
more
housing
that
is
Affordable
to
Bellevue
residents.
R
And,
as
you
know,
our
Coalition
is
composed
of
housing
providers,
direct
service
providers,
Faith
leaders,
Advocates
and,
and
others
who
provide
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
the
east
side,
and
we
are
committed
to
meeting
the
needs
of
our
neighbors
and
addressing
the
necessity
for
a
significant
increase
in
the
number
of
affordable
homes
available
to
people
living
on
the
east
side
of
King
County.
We
strongly
support
the
planning
commission's
recommendation.
R
Approving
the
Luca
as
modified
and
providing
the
opportunity
for
multi-family
rezone
allows
affordable
housing
projects
on
these
specific
faith-on-land
properties
to
be
economically
viable.
Comparing
this
with
the
city's
intention
of
proactive
education
to
religious
organizations
and
providing
connections
to
resources
for
affordable
housing,
development
on
their
properties
also
greatly
appreciated
the
adoption
of
this
Lucas
and
necessary
step
towards
providing
more
housing
opportunities
for
low
and
moderate
income
households.
And
we
encourage
the
final
adoption
and
implementation
as
soon
as
we
can
to.
S
R
R
We
look
forward
to
partnering
with
you
all
to
develop
ways
to
increase
funding
and
resources,
so
the
vision
of
these
zoning
changes
can
can
come
to
fruition
through
the
production
of
new,
affordable
homes,
and
this
Loop
is
an
essential
tool
within
a
larger
strategy
to
bring
more
affordable
homes
to
Bellevue
residents,
and
we
encourage
the
Lucas
with
adoption,
we're
grateful
for
your
partnership
and
look
forward
to
working
together
to
implement
high
impact
strategies
that
will
work
to
meet
the
scale
of
Need
for
affordable
housing
in
Bellevue.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
and
that
is
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
list.
We
still
do
have
a
few
minutes
left
of
oral
communication.
So
I'd
ask
at
this
point.
If
there's
anyone
else
joining
us
in
council
chambers
this
evening,
who
would
like
to
speak
to
the
council
or
online,
please
raise
your
hand
and
we
do
have
one
person
online,
Joe,
kunsler.
T
Thank
you
for
your
public
service,
Joe
kunzler
here
I'm
going
to
be
incredibly
brief.
I
appreciate
your
proclamation
in
in
which
regards
to
Jewish
history
month.
It
is
very
much
appreciated,
as
I
have
a
Jewish
relative.
T
However,
the
comments
of
a
certain
speaker
before
I
I
have
to
say,
I
found
them
anti-semitic
and
anti-American
and
totally
inappropriate
at
any
time
for
any
place
for
any
reason
and
I
think
you're,
smart
people
and
I
think
you
know
who
I'm
talking
about
and
on
top
of
it
I
found
some
of
his
remarks
bordering
on.
T
If
not
a
campaign
speech
and
considering
it,
this
troubled
individual
as
a
candid
for
office
I,
would
encourage
whoever
is
sharing
the
meeting
down
there
to
have
very
tight,
Reigns
and
finally
take
under
advicement
as
I
emailed
you,
the
public
disclosure
commission.
This
Thursday
is
considering
tighter
rules
on
campaigning
during
public
comment,
so
with
that
I
know
it
was
a
bit
hard
to
take
in,
but
I
do
want
to
sincerely
thank
you
for
your
continued
commitment
to
public
service
and
hopefully
you'll
be
a
lot
more
strict
on
public
comment.
Thank
you
again.
B
A
You
thank
you
Clark
all
right
with
that.
We
will
move
to.
Let's
see
Council
business
and
I
believe
that
councilmember
Stokes
has
some
recommendation
for
appointments
to
the
parks
and
Community
Services
Board.
U
One
and
four
and
the
Parks
called
me
I
was
thinking
about
something
else.
Sorry
sorry,
all
right
start
over
again
I'm
pleased
to
announce
that
we
have
two
appointees
to
the
parks
and
Community
Service
department,
and
we
went
through
our
process
with
the
planning
com,
the
the
Parks
Commission,
and
we
had
a
really
good
number
of
candidates
and
we,
it
was
a
hard
decision,
but
we
have
two
really
outstanding
candidates
tonight
to
put
before
for
vote
for
their
joining
the
commission.
U
The
board
position
number
one
is
Elaine
Chao,
serving
in
a
partial
term,
expiring
on
May
31st,
2024.
U
and
I
like
to
put
her
name
in
for
permanent
assignment
all.
U
U
A
With
them,
okay,
thank
you,
councilmember
Stokes.
Next,
we
have
a
remote
participation
request
by
mayor
Robinson
for
the
June
5th
meeting.
Do
I
have
a

A
Do

affordable
through
the
multi-family
tax
exemption
program
at
80
percent
area,
median
income.
W
Previously,
on
February
13
to
2023,
the
city
released
a
water
easement
as
part
of
this
project,
and
the
developer
has
requested
this
public
utility
easement
be
released
as
well.
The
street
was
previously
vacated
and
an
easement
reserve
for
utilities.
This
ordinance
modification
would
release
that
easement.
There
are
no
utilities
currently
in
the
easement,
and
any
new
service
will
be
provided
from
facilities
within
the
public
right-of-way.

V
You
Deputy
Mayor
mayor
and
council
members.
The
first
study
session
item
on
your
agenda
is
the
recommended
land
use
code
Amendment
implementing
the
city's
affordable
housing
strategy,
as
it
relates
to
religious,
owned
properties.
Tonight's
staff
are
seeking
Council
direction
to
return
at
a
future
meeting
to
adopt
the
land
use
code,
Amendment
specific
to
these
religious,
owned
properties
and
just
by
way
of
background
and
2021,
the
council
adopted
a
land
use
code
amendment
to
establish
density,
bonus
for
affordable
housing
developments
on
certain
public,
non-profit
or
religious
owned
organization,
British
organizational
properties.
V
At
the
same
time,
the
council
initiated
this
second
phase
of
work
on
a
comprehensive
plan:
Amendment
land
use
code,
Amendment
and
rezone
for
certain
religious
organizational
properties
that
could
support
additional
housing
beyond
what
would
be
possible
with
the
new
density
bonus.
This
Phase
2
Landry's
code,
Amendment
and
Associated
reason
will
provide
a
density
increase
for
permanent,
affordable
housing
on
single-family,
owned,
owned
single-family,
owned
properties
owned
by
religious
organizations
and
in
locations
that
are
well
suited
for
multi-family
housing.

Us
at
the
table
this
evening
is
Rebecca
Horner,
director,
Christina
Gallant
code
and
policy
senior
planner,
both
from
the
development
services
department
and
I'm.
Also
fortunate
to
have
with
us
joining
us
tonight
is
Carolyn
Ferris,
the
chair
of
the
Planning
Commission,
and
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
throw
it
to
you.
Rebecca.
Y
Y
So
this,
and
as
already
mentioned
I'd
like
to
introduce
chair
Ferris
with
our
Planning
Commission,
who
will
be
sharing
their
recommendation
tonight,
so
our
agenda
for
this
evening
will
be
asking
I'm,
sorry
we'll
be
going
over
the
Luca
objectives,
the
land
use
code,
Amendment
Luca
will
also
be
discussing
the
recommendation,
the
draft
code
Amendment
and
we
will
be
going
over
the
public
engagement.
Reviewing
the
public
engagement
that
had
already
occurred
and
chair
Ferris
will
be
sharing
the
recommendation.
Y
Z
So
first
we'll
start
with
just
a
refresher
of
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today.
So
the
the
recommended
Luca
we're
presenting,
will
support
recommendations
from
the
2017,
affordable
housing
strategy,
as
well
as
Implement
comprehensive
plan
housing
element
policy,
h036
adopted
in
December.
Z
So,
as
this
group
is
well
aware,
action
C1
calls
for
the
city
to
increase
development
potential
on
suitable
land
owned
by
public
agencies,
faith-based
and
non-profit
housing
entities
for
affordable
housing
and
before
we
go
further
I
think
it's
helpful
to
just
explain
a
bit
about
why
religious
owned
properties
have
been
recommended
in
this
specific
case
and
really
that's
because
this
is
a
very
specific
opportunity
for
housing.
Z
That
requires
a
very
specific
tailored
approach,
so
in
Bellevue
and
Across
the
Nation
in
recent
decades,
Many
religious
organizations
have
been
seeing
smaller
congregations
over
time,
some
of
those
going
away
entirely
or
being
absorbed
within
other
congregations,
but
at
any
event
seeing
more
property
available
than
they
need
in
many
cases
and
for
a
lot
of
those
organizations
having
affordable
housing
in
their
mission.
They're.
Looking
to
see
something
happen
with
that
land
long
term
serving
their
community.
Z
In
addition,
as
as
we've
seen
mentioned
before,
this
land
is
a
very
high
value
and
we're
in
the
unique
position
of
having
willing
and
eager
owners
wanting
to
see,
affordable
housing
move
forward
on
that
land
and
in
the
cases
where
this
land
is
currently
zoned
for
single-family
housing.
Only
the
likelihood
if
that
land
goes
on
the
market
conversion
to
high
value
single-family
housing
is
the
most
likely
outcome.
Z
So
we,
this
is
the
second
phase
of
implementing
C1,
our
first
phase
kind
of
happened
from
2019
to
2021.
So
back
in
2019,
we
had
some
new
state
legislation
that
arrived,
which
requires
the
city
to
Grant,
a
density
bonus
to
any
non-profit
or
religious
organization,
building,
affordable
housing
in
both
single-family
and
multi-family
land
use
districts.
Z
Z
So
in
2021
we
developed
a
broad
density
bonus
land
use
code
Amendment,
which
provided
consistency
with
that
state
legislation,
providing
a
50
density
bonus
across
the
board
requiring
no
additional
review
for
those
eligible
organizations.
We
also
Incorporated
a
bit
more
flexibility,
clearing
the
use
of
duplexes
and
triplexes
in
single-family
districts.
Z
However,
throughout
this
process
we
heard
from
stakeholders
the
Planning
Commission
and
this
Council
that
there
was
a
missed
opportunity
in
a
lot
of
those
single-family
properties
that
could
potentially
have
capacity
for
quite
a
bit
more
multi-family
housing,
particularly
those
with
good
access
to
Transit
and
services
and
directed
staff
to
move
forward
with
the
phase.
Two
to
look
specifically
at
those
single-family
properties
that
were
well
situated
to
accommodate
multi-family.
Z
So
back
in
December,
the
council
adopted
our
ho36,
which
calls
to
allow
properties
in
single-family
designated
areas
on
the
comprehensive
land
use
map
to
class
reclassify
to
multi-family
when
they
meet
all
of
the
following
criteria.
So
100
permanent,
affordable
housing,
ownership
by
religious
organization,
a
location,
your
high
capacity,
Transportation
infrastructure
and
services
and
a
location
near
other,
existing
multi-family,
residential
or
commercial
use.
Districts.
Z
And
so
now,
I'll
walk
through
the
components
of
the
recommended
Luca,
which
we
recommend
as
implementing
that
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
we've
broken
it
down
into
four
topics
tonight.
The
first
is
the
affordable
housing
suffix.
This
is
a
new
land
use
tool
that
we've
developed
specifically
for
this
opportunity.
So
explain
a
bit
about
why
we
went
that
route
and
what
it
is.
The
next
are
the
eligibility
criteria
for
the
properties
being
recommended
next,
the
suffix
designation
criteria,
so
the
process
for
determining
how
much
density
these
properties
will
get
and
then
finally,
the
applicable
procedures.
Z
So
the
suffix
itself,
as
mentioned
this,
is
a
new
tool
and
it
responds
to
a
couple
of
specific
goals
with
this
project.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
providing
multi-family,
affordable
housing
as
an
additional
option
available
to
these
properties,
not
to
take
away
from
what
is
currently
available
on
those
properties.
We
weren't
going
forward
with
getting
the
the
properties
to
opt
in,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
providing
it
as
an
option.
A
second.
Z
If
you're
familiar
with
that
concept,
so
the
suffix
gets
added
to
the
existing
single-family
land
use
designation
and
that
points
to
what
is
possible
for
affordable,
multi-family
housing
in
the
code.
So
we
have
four
suffixes
one
through
four
and
those
align
with
our
underlying
land
use.
Districts
are
10
through
R30.
Those
are
the
multi-family
land
use
districts.
Z
So
a
bit
more
there.
So
this
is
an
illustration
of
say:
you
have
an
R5
property,
that's
rezoned,
to
add
an
ah1
suffix.
The
new
designation
becomes
R5
ah1.
So
on
the
left.
Here
you
have
that
underlying
single
family
zoning
that
that
R5
indicates
what
can
be
done
when
there's
at
least
some
housing
proposed
that's
market
rate.
Z
In
the
event,
that's
this
property
is
being
redeveloped
and
the
blue.
That's
that
affordable
housing
suffix
that
indicates
the
what
can
be
built
when
all
of
the
affordable
housing
units,
when
all
of
the
housing
units
are
affordable.
I
do
have
to
I
didn't
note
earlier.
None
of
these
properties
are
under
any
obligation
to
build
it's
just
simply
an
option
that
will
be
out
there
and
ready
to
take
advantage
of
so.
The
second
topic
this
evening
are
the
eligibility
criteria
for
the
rezone,
and
so
these
are
directly
connected
with
the
December
comprehensive
plan
Amendment.
Z
So
first,
the
property
must
be
owned
or
controlled
by
a
religious
organization.
They
must
also
meet
our
location
criteria
so
located
within
a
single
family
land
use
District.
They
must
be
located
with
frequent
Transit
service
or
be
located
on
an
arterial
Street,
and
they
must
also
be
located
within
500
feet
of
multi-family
or
commercial
land
use
District.
Z
We
are
completing
a
city
sponsored
rezone
for
the
admission
initial
set
of
eligible
properties
which
we'll
be
bringing
forward
with
the
Luca
at
the
for
Action
as
well.
So
in
the
future.
However,
if
additional
properties
become
eligible,
the
eligibility
is
defined
in
the
code.
They
can
move
forward
and
request
the
rezone
without
having
to
go
through
the
comp
plan.
Amendment
process.
Z
And
So,
currently,
we
have
36
eligible
sites.
The
map
that
we're
showing
here
shows
how
they're
distributed
around
the
city
as
well
as
the
suffixes
that
they
would
be
eligible
under
the
recommended
Luca
and
the
process
that
we
used
for
determining
the
level
of
density
available
to
these
sites
is
by
looking
to
the
immediate
area.
So
we
have
been
looking
to
that
multi-family
or
land
use
District,
as
you
recall,
located
within
500
feet
and
allowing
a
similar
scale
of
density
as
that
highest
density,
land
use,
District,
allowing
multi-family
or
commercial
within
500
feet.
Z
An
additional
note
here
to
add
is
that
the
city's
transition
standards
do
still
apply,
so
the
city's
transition
area
standards
are
separate
to
this
land
use
code
Amendment
they
apply
to
the
areas
of
multi-family
for
multi-family
development.
It
applies
to
the
area
within
300
feet
of
a
single-family
land
use
District,
so
that'll
be
those
hashed
pink
areas
and
we
have
some
specific
design
standards
there
for
setbacks
and
other
design
characteristics
to
help
with
the
transition.
Z
So
that's
one
thing
to
note
and
then
the
fourth
topic
tonight
procedures.
So
these
properties,
if
any
develop
with
when
development
moves
forward,
they
will
be
reviewed
as
other
multi-family
properties
are.
But
one
item
that
is
specific
to
this
proposal
is
that
currently
religious
facilities
are
defined
as
conditional
uses
in
our
land
use
code.
So
when
a
religious
facility
or
any
other
conditional
use
is
rebuilt
or
substantially
changed
that
conditional
use
permit
must
be
amended
in
some
cases,
it
can
be
unclear
if
a
new
conditional
use
permit
is
required
instead
of
an
amendment.
Z
So
the
land
use
code
here
confirms
that
these
prop
these
when
a
Redevelopment,
including
permanent,
affordable
housing,
is
moving
forward.
That
includes
a
religious
facility,
that's
being
rebuilt
up
to
the
size.
It
was
before
so
they're,
not
expanding,
they're,
being
maintained
or
shrinking
that
the
administrative
option,
the
administrative
cup-
is
an
option
for
them.
So
it's
a
you're
still
amending
the
the
cup,
but
it
goes
through
a
an
administrative
process
that
is
much
more
less
lengthy
than
the
standard
conditional
use
permit
process.
Z
So
a
bit
on
public
engagement.
This
is
specific
to
the
Luca
since
December,
when
the
this
this
Luca
was
launched.
We
have
implemented
our
process
for
requirements
for
our
Planning
Commission
meetings
noticing
and
our
public
hearing
held
with
the
Planning
Commission
in
April.
We
have
also
been
working
on
Direct
engagement
and
feedback.
We
have
sent
letters
to
all
of
the
eligible
sites
as
we
as
those
have
been
identified.
Z
We've
also
had
quite
a
few
one-on-one
conversations
with
the
eligible
religious
organizations
and
affordable
housing
developers
to
answer
questions
and
talk
about
what
would
be
helpful
with
this
project,
how
we
also
held
a
public
information
session
on
January
31st
to
share
information
and
answer
questions
with
the
community
more
broadly,
and
we
have
a
project
webpage,
sharing,
updates
on
the
process
as
we've
moved
along
and
with
that
I
will
pass
it
to
chair
Ferris
to
present
the
recommendation.
Thank.
AA
You
so
much
really
appreciate
being
here.
This
particular
topic,
for
me
personally,
is
something
that
I
really
really
feel
passionately
about.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
we
do
to
move
forward
in
our
affordable
housing
strategy.
But
to
recap
the
work
of
the
Planning
Commission
as
Christina
shared
we've
had
study
sessions
in
both
February
and
March,
and
then
we
held
a
public
Hearing
in
April.
They
were
all
very
well
attended.
AA
AA
There
were
a
few
that
supported
it,
but
stated
some
of
their
concerns
around
parking
because
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
parking
limitations
didn't
cause
impacts
to
their
local
community,
but
again,
overall
I
think
there
was
just
incredibly
strong
support
for
this
Luca
I
would
say
also
the
that
when
we
had
the
study
session,
staff
has
been
really
helpful
because
the
Planning
Commission
really
pushed
and
asked
staff
to
come
up
with,
as
many
modifications
to
this
Luca
to
allow
them
are
the
maximum
density.
AA
So,
for
example,
that
when
originally
it
stated
that
that
to
be
eligible
as
a
site,
they
had
to
be
on
an
arterial
as
well
as
have
rapid
transit
and
that's
changed
to
ore.
So
they
can
be
either
have
the
rapid,
transit
or
or
have
a
Beyond
an
arterial
so
that
opened
up
more
sites
for
development,
so
we're
as
Christina
shared
right
now
up
to
36
potential
sites.
AA
We
know
that
all
of
them
won't
get
developed,
but
I
know
personally
that
there
are
several
churches
that
are
eagerly
awaiting
this
change
so
that
they
can
explore
their
options.
I
will
share
from
a
personal
perspective
that
this
is
a
huge
step
forward.
It's
going
to
really
be
a
game
changer
for
all
of
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about,
whether
it's
the
adus,
it's
micro,
housing.
This
by
far
in
my
opinion,
will
move
the
needle
the
farthest.
However,
it's
not
a
Panacea.
AA
This
opens
up
those
different
sites
for
development,
but
we
still
have
a
funding
issue
and
we
also
need
capacity
building
for
our
non-profit
providers,
because
again
many
of
the
folks
just
don't
have
the
capacity
to
really
take
this
on.
So
I
share
that
just
in
terms
of
if
there's
some
things
that
the
council
consider
around
funding
and
supporting
those
organizations
to
really
move
the
needle
I
would
really
appreciate
that
I'm
obligated
to
share
some
language
that
makes
this
official
so
I'm
going
to
read
from
my
notes.
AA
The
Planning
Commission
found
that
the
Luca
meets
the
decision.
Criteria
of
the
land
use
code,
20.30
j.135
and
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan,
enhances
the
public
safety
and
Welfare
and
does
not
contrary
to
the
best
interest
of
the
citizens
and
property
owners
of
the
city
of
Bellevue.
The
Planning
Commission
recommended
by
unanimous
vote
that
the
city
council
adopts
Luca
as
modified
during
the
public
hearing.
This
recommendation
is
included
in
the
Planning
Commission
resolution
as
attachment
a
of
your
packet.
AA
Z
So
onto
the
Luca
process,
to
date
again,
this
Luca
was
launched
back
in
December.
When
our
comprehensive
plan
amendment
was
adopted,
we
held
we
issued
a
notice
of
our
application
and
of
our
public
meeting
on
January
19th,
so
that
public
information
session
was
advertised
along
with
the
notice
of
application
we
held
at
the
public
information
session
on
January
31st,
which
led
us
to
our
first
study
session
of
the
Planning
Commission
on
February,
8th
second
on
March,
8th
and
then
the
public
hearing
was
on
April
12th.
Z
Z
A
You
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
great
presentation
this
evening,
so
this
opportunity
to
ask
some
questions
or
comments.
I'm
going
to
go
to
someone
who's
very
passionate
about
this
issue,
I'm
going
to
go
to
Mayor
Robinson
first
and
hopefully
she
can
hear
us.
Okay,
mayor
Robinson,
you
have
the
floor.
AB
Thank
you
so
much
I
hope
that
you
can
hear
me.
Okay,
I,
want
to
thank
chair
Ferris
in
the
Planning
Commission
for
all
their
hard
work
on
this
I
really
do
like
the
recommendation
and
I
appreciate
it
very
much
and
I
think
that
the
staff's
work
on
coming
up
with
this
suffix
is
very
thoughtful
and
valuable.
So
I'm
excited
about
the
all
the
possibilities
in
our
city,
using
these
properties
to
create
more
affordable
housing
near
neighborhoods
in
neighborhoods,
near
schools
and
amenities,
and
so
I'd
like
to
recommend
option
one.
AB
But
I
also
want
to
ask
staff
to
kind
of
rethink
the
transition
areas.
Now
that
we've
now
that
1110
has
been
adopted
at
the
house
at
the
state
level
that
we
kind
of
rethink
those
transition
areas
so
that
if
we
get
a
request
from
church
property
to
go
even
taller,
we
can
have
some
criteria
as
to
how
we
handle
that,
but
I
think
for
tonight
very
comfortable
going
with
option
one
and
with
that
direction.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
Robinson
next
I'll
go
to
councilman
Lee
and
then
we'll
just
make
our
way
down
and
I'll
go
last.
So
council,
member
Lee.
AC
I
support
the
intent
of
this
Luca.
Oh
goodness,
do
I
have
a
question
to
clarify
the
religious
organization
aspect.
What
are
the
criteria
to
determine
because,
as
time
change
things
change
so
when
we
decide
to
classify
it
now,
we
can
do
it
because
they
are,
you
know:
churches,
religious
organizations,
But
as
time
change.
There
may
be
new
religious
facilities
that
move
into
a
neighborhood
or
religious
organization,
May
change,
something
else.
So
how
so
clarification?
Z
Sure
so
the
first
part
of
that,
currently
the
we
have
a
definition
for
religious
organization.
So
I
can't
quote
it
word
for
word,
but
it
requires
that
the
organization
has
Federal
recognition
as
a
religious
organization,
so
non-profit
status
and
that
kind
of
religious
component.
So
in
cases
where
it
may
be
unclear,
this
did
come
up
with
one
site.
We
asked
them
to
provide
their
some
some
evidence
with
their.
Z
You
know:
I
can't
remember
the
phrase,
but
those
organizational
recording
papers
demonstrating
that
they
had
a
religious
Mission.
So
that's
kind
of
the
the
designation
side
initially,
but
it
is
true
the
way
that
the
eligibility
criteria
are
set
up
if
future
organizations
form
and
buy
land,
that
new
properties
could
meet
these
eligibility
criteria
and
be
eligible
for
a
rezone,
and
so
that
suffix
would
stay
after
that.
Property
is
sold,
however,
that
additional
density
can
only
be
unlocked
when
all
housing
being
proposed
is
permanent,
affordable
housing.
AC
Okay,
so
we'll
be
consistent
if
there's
a
new
entity
that
goes
into
a
neighborhood
which
is
doesn't
have
a
religious
organization,
if
they
go
inside
I'm,
going
to
buy
this
property
and
make
it
a
religious
organization
and
meet
all
the
criteria,
then
this
piece
of
property
can
be
eligible
for
this.
Yes,.
Z
Z
Z
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Lee
and
actually
customer
Stokes
I'm
going
to
go
to
councilman
Robertson
first,
as
lays
on
to
the
Planning
Commission
I
didn't
see
that
she
was
already
back
so
councilman
Robertson.
I
Thank
you.
You
know,
I'd,
be
very
curious
to
hear
what
my
colleagues
have
to
say
about
this,
but
first
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Planning
Commission.
They
really
had
a
thoughtful
discussion
they
dug
in
and
really
did
the
work
and,
as
as
chair
Fair
said,
they
had
a
unanimous
recommendation,
so
I'm
I'm
supportive
of
this
option,
I
know
that
we
heard
from
Jubilee
reach
and
they
had
some
questions
and
concerns
about
the
transition
zone.
I
Z
Sure,
thank
you.
So
the
specific
request
was
initially
received
just
before
the
Planning
Commission
public
hearing.
So
we
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
really
review
it
before
moving
forward
with
the
Planning
Commission.
The
Planning
Commission
looked
at
that
request
and
did
not
opt
to
include
it
in
the
recommendation
we're
bringing
for
over
the
council.
A
couple
of
our
thoughts
would
be
the
the
primary
first
and
foremost
would
be.
The
sipa
analysis.
Z
That's
already
been
completed,
did
not
anticipate
going
into
the
transition
area
standards,
so
we
would
want
to
get
the
environmental
team
to
look
at
that.
Any
potential
changes
to
understand
if
additional
review
would
be
needed
to
understand
those
impacts
that
could
have
some
potential
to
extend
the
timeline
just
by
accommodating
noticing
and
Analysis.
Like
several
weeks.
Z
Let's
see
more
generally,
I
think
could
be
seen
as
a
larger
policy
question
not
specific
to
these
affordable
housing
properties.
That
I
think,
like
mayor
Robinson,
alluded
to
might
be
better
off
pursuing
as
part
of
a
larger
effort
like
under
the
comprehensive
Plan
update,
because
then
you
have
an
opportunity
to
really
look
at
those
standards
holistically,
not
just
specifically
for
these
properties.
Z
I
Okay,
thank
you,
so
I'm
gonna
hold
the
rest
of
my
comments
until
I
have
heard
from
the
rest
of
the
Council
on
on
that
particular
issue,
but
otherwise
really
grateful
for
the
work,
and
it
will
be
voting
to
move
this
forward
in
some
form
or
fashion
at
the
at
the
end
of
the
site.
Thanks.
U
Just
thank
you,
mayor
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
councilmember
Robertson's
comments
on
this
going
forward,
because
we
we
have
some
other
things
to
talk
about
so.
D
U
Good
I
really
appreciate
this
and
I'm
excited
about
going
forward
on
it.
One
of
the
things
that
we
haven't
talked
about
yet
the
Jubilee
reach
has
specifically
asked
for
an
increase
in
in
height
and
added
at
a
significant
number
of
more
housing
in
that,
and
you,
you
know,
said
that
this
is,
and
it's
been
talked
about.
U
The
marriage
talked
about
it
on
doing
this,
so
you're
saying
that
that's
something
that
we
could
look
at,
but
it
was
it's
your
recommendations
to
go
forward
with
what
we
have
now
but
then
come
back
and
look
at
these
well
I
guess
the
concern
is
if
this
is
a
really
positive
thing
to
do.
What
what's
the
quickest
way,
I
mean
we,
we
have
spent
so
many
times
on
affordable
housing,
things
where
we
get
something
we
want
to
do,
and
it's
it's
two
years
later
we're
still
working
on
it.
U
I'm
really
want
to
congratulate
you
for
taking
seven
months
only
seven
months
to
get
this
whole
thing
put
together
and
that's
you
should
get
blue
stars
for
all
of
that,
because
that
was
really
good
and
I'm.
Just
I
would
like
for
us
to
look
at
Jubilee
reach's
proposal.
I.
Think
it's
rational,
I,
don't
think
it'll
cause
a
big
difference
in
the
except
it'll,
get
more
housing
and
I'd
like
to
see
us
take
to
whatever
it
works
out
best
to
get
this
done.
U
Get
this
piece
in
in
play,
but
also
not
forget
about
this
and
go
on
to
something
else.
I
mean
one.
We
could.
You
know,
adopt
the
amendment
to
it
tonight
and
go
forward
I,
don't
know
that
would
really
change
what
you're
you're
working
on,
but
it
would
add
something
different
to
it
so
I'm
just
throwing
that
out.
There
I
think
it's
something
we
need
to
think
about
on
that
and
I
would
be
interested
to
hear
other
council
members
or
comments
on
that
as
well,
but
otherwise
I'm
ready
to
go
on
I.
F
So
I
really
appreciate
that
work
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
when
Saint
Peters
came
to
us
early
on
and
said,
hey,
we
we
want
to
be
part
of
this.
Is
there
a
way
to
look
at
the
criteria
to
allow
them
also
to
be
added
to
the
list?
I
believe
that
when
we
were
able
to
look
at
both
arterial
streets
or
frequent
Transit
Network
than
they
were
able
to
be
added?
So,
thank
you
for
really
taking
a
look
to
see,
what's
possible
still
within
a
walk
shed
of
of
accessibility.
F
So
I
really
appreciate
that
I
would
say
that,
for
me,
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
looking
at
each
parcel
and
some
of
the
specifics
there.
Because
what
struck
me
about
the
Jubilee
reach
ask
was,
you
know,
an
ability
to
have
just
a
little
more
height,
but
then
it
was
able
to
preserve
more
trees
and
have
a
little
better
setback.
F
So
I
like
the
idea
that
we
have
the
ability
to
do
some
of
that
and
I
guess
what
I'd
like
to
better
understand
is
if
we
were
to
adopt
option
one
now
as
phase
two,
are
we
saying
that
there
is
potentially
a
phase
three
in
this
transition
zone,
where
we
would
consider
these
other
criteria
or
Nuance?
That
would
allow
a
bit
more
height
because
I
I
think
I'm.
A
couple
of
us
have
asked
the
question,
but
I'm
still
unclear
about
really
what
are
the
options
ahead
and
then.
F
My
second
question
is
since
this
was
asked
by
Jubilee
reach:
do
they
have
time
for
us
to
look
at
this?
As
like
a
mini
phase,
three
or
because
I
don't
want
to
hold
up
the
other
religious
properties
that
may
want
to
move
forward,
trying
to
make
adjustments
for
one
parcel
and
then
I
guess
my
my
last
question
is
I
know
that
we
provided
some
funding
for
Habitat
for
Humanity,
and
so
one
of
the
parcels
is
the
holy
cross
parcel.
Is
that
conditioned
on
this
phase,
two
passing
as
soon
as
possible?
Z
Thank
you,
I'll
yeah
try
to
address
all
of
those
first,
because
it's
on
the
top
of
my
mind,
the
Holy
Cross
property
that
project
I
think
is
moving
forward
they're,
going
through
a
planned
unit,
development
that
is
under
review
now.
So
it's
not
necessarily
contingent
on
this
work.
Z
So
the
specific
request
from
Jubilee
reach
was
to
basically
take
away
that
limitation
from
subjecting
the
suffix
properties
to
that
transition
area,
height
limit,
which
was
intended
as
a
way
to
offer
some
transition
between
a
single
family
and
multi-family
areas.
It
does
not
change
the
overall
density,
that's
possible
on
these
properties.
We
did
hear
from
Jubilee
reach
that
allowing
that
extra
height
would
help
allow
them
to
do
a
structure
that
they
thought
would
be
better
for
the
site,
but
it
did
not
necessarily
limit
them
from
achieving
that
density.
Z
So
our
our
thought
was
that,
with
looking
to
the
comprehensive
plan
periodic
update
process,
especially
thinking
about
changes
happening
with
11
10
and
others,
it
might
be
helpful
to
think
more
about.
You
know
how
are
these
transition
areas
really
working
in
the
city
as
we're
thinking
about
incorporating
other
types
of
ham
of
of
housing
in
some
of
those
single-family
districts?
K
F
Z
We
all
know
you
know
kind
of
one
of
the
challenges
with
this
type
of
Luca.
Is
that
because
we're
designing
it
for
eligibility
criteria
that
could
apply
to
any
property
that
that
meets
that
bucket
today
or
in
the
future?
Z
It
kind
of
naturally
limits
our
ability
to
necessarily
take
advantage
of
every
opportunity
on
every
individual
site,
because
it's
a
trade-off
for
ease
of
process
versus
kind
of
that
in-depth
site-by-side
analysis
that
you
could
do
through
other
means.
So.
F
Yeah
I
think
the
biggest
thing
is.
They
also
talked
about
the
ability
to
preserve
more
tree
canopy
if
we
or
to
get
just
a
little
more
height,
and
we
know
how
much
we
care
about
our
trees.
So
I
I
would
just
say
that
it
may
take
a
little
more
threading,
the
needle.
But
it
seems
like
that's
something
that
we've
talked
a
lot
about
of
of
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
get
housing
entries.
And
so
we
thinking
really
carefully
about
that.
Yeah
and.
L
I'm
excited
about
moving
this
forward
in
not
holding
up
the
existing
religious
organizations
that
are
ready
to
move
forward.
Also,
you
mentioned
that
there
it
doesn't
create
additional
density,
so
in
that
sense,
from
a
cost
benefit
perspective.
We're
holding
up
additional
religious
organizations
not
for
additional,
affordable
housing,
necessarily
so
I
would
I
support
moving
forward
and
engaging
with
Jubilee
reached
to
figure
out
what
that
might
look
like
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
A
Councilman
Robertson
would
like
me
to
go
first.
Do
you
want
to
reveal
your
your
thoughts?
Okay,
okay
sounds
great
yes,
position
on
the.
AC
A
Go
to
the
councilor
Robertson!
Thank
you,
I'm.
Also
in
favor
of
moving
this
forward
now,
I
I
appreciate
the
great
staff
work
on
this.
This
is
a
very
exciting
moment
to
further
achieve
our
affordable
housing
goals.
A
I
also
agree
with
staff's
recommendation
that
this
is
a
little
outside
the
scope
in
in
terms
of
the
the
Jubilee
reach
piece,
so
I
I'm
just
hearing
you
know
the
more
study
needed
the
11
10
consideration,
the
environmental
impact
Etc
so
absolutely
keep
engaging
with
Jubilee
reach,
but
at
this
moment
I
would
move
move
forward.
A
One
question
that
I
did
have,
as
we
can
see
from
from
the
from
the
map
here
and
I
phrased
this
question
before,
because
we
can
see
that
the
vast
majority
of
the
these
religious
and
faith-based
properties
are
in
East,
Bellevue
and
just
for
example,
there's
one
here
there's
where
there's
like
six
properties,
all
within
three
blocks
of
each
other
so
and
you
sent
out
letters
to
all
of
them
and
you
did
get
some
some
good
feedback
so
or
interests
so
I'm
wondering
like
right
now
for
all
the
East
Bellevue
properties.
D
G
Z
Far,
the
the
properties
that
we
have
heard
from
have
been
more
diffuse.
We
have
not
heard
from
like
too
many
that
are
very
clustered
okay,
but
we
expect
it's
going
to
be
a
fraction.
It
could
be
that
perhaps
you
know
one
moves
forward
and
their
neighbor
might
be
more
inclined
to
be
interested.
B
A
Is
Staff
concerned
at
all
about
about
a
cluster
that
might
be
too
close
to
each
other
that
could
impact
negatively
impact
a
specific
neighborhood
and
just
some
unintended
consequences
there
and
again
I'm
just
looking
at
those
areas
where
they're
so
densely
close
to
each
other.
So
what's
what's
staff's
thought
on
that
yeah.
Z
Our
thought,
you
know,
I
think
these
prop
these
projects
can
really
be
Community
assets.
I
think
we've
got
some
great
examples
of
how
this
Housing
Development
has
happened
before
both
within
Bellevue
and
in
other
cities.
So
I
think
if
we
see
multiple
properties
moving
forward,
it
could
be
a
great
thing:
okay,
fair
enough,
but
projects
will
go
through
all
of
our
standard
review
and
permitting
processes
to
make
sure
that
all
the
adequate
facilities
are
provided.
Yeah.
A
Consideration
for
folks
to
to
know
all
right,
yeah
that
I'm
happy
to
move
this
forward
and
I'm
happy
to
turn
over
the
mic
to
councilman
Robertson.
Oh.
A
AC
U
You
point
out
the
more
of
the
housing,
possibly
here
but
I
think
going
around
the
city
what's
been
interesting.
Is
you
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
more
apartments
and
affordable
housing?
I
mean
affordable
housing,
but
this
kind
of
housing?
Then
we
think
about.
Oh,
if
you
drive
around
in
Woodridge,
I
was
just
there
today
and
it's
amazing
how
many
condos
and
not
condos,
but
in
apartment,
places
around
that
and
some
of
them.
So
it's
it's.
U
It's
a
good
point
to
look
at
this,
but
I,
think
and
I
appreciate
the
deputy
mayor
recognizes.
We
need
to
move
forward
on
this,
but
it's
a
good
question,
so
I
think
we
can
really
help
us.
U
This
is
going
to
help
us
look
at
all
the
areas
in
the
city,
so
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
to
go
forward
and
I
really
appreciate
the
and
listen,
listen
to
council
members
comments
in
a
minute,
but
I
do
hope
that
we
don't
put
this
other
Jubilee
reaches
and
these
other
questions
coming
up
these
nuances
of.
How
can
we
do
better
and
do
different
put
those
off?
U
So
it's
two
years
from
now
before
we
talk
about
them,
because
this
is
we've
got
this
set
up
and
we'll
move
forward,
and
so
I
hope
we
can
start
moving
forward
on
this
piece
as
the
next
kind
of
the
next
phase
of
this,
because
this
is
something
that
is
really
going
to
unlock,
affordable
housing.
We've
been
pushing
a
list
for
a
long
time
and
we
have
the
opportunity
the
planning
commission's
not
a
great
job
on
this,
so
I
think
we've
got
this
set
up
and
I
just
want
to
see
us
keep
moving
forward
and
you're.
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I
ordered
the
comments
I
wanted
to
make.
As
this
you
know
earlier
on,
we
heard
from
one
of
the
speakers
about
helping
to
educate
the
faith
properties
about
you
know
some
of
the
different
options,
both
with
rentals
and
home
ownership
for
these
potential,
affordable
housing
properties,
so
making
sure
that
we
continue
to
do
that.
Outreach
will
be
important
and
then
the
second
one
I
would
say
is
you
know
similar
to
The
Jubilee
reach
of
how
we
right
size
and
thread
the
needle
there.
F
Amendments
or
comp
plan
update
that
we're
doing
and
whether
some
of
those
can
be
pulled
to
be
looked
at
sooner
or
if
everything
else
is
going
to
be
part
of
that
comp
plan
update
so
I
I.
Don't
know
that
you
have
an
answer
tonight,
but
I
do
think
think
we
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
this
is
one
one
strategy,
but
there
is
a
number
of
items
that
are
coming
to
us
as
part
of
the
the
state
ledge
bill.
So
any
comments
you
want
to
make
there
or.
AB
Thank
you
for
that
I.
Just
I'm
gonna,
reiterate
for
council
member
Robertson,
who
didn't
hear
me
that
I
all
four
option.
One
I
think
this
has
taken
a
long
time
to
get
here
and
I
really
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
that
has
gone
on
with
it
and
I'd
like
to
move
forward
and
I
would
like
to
consider
those
transition
zones,
especially
now
that
we've
we'll
be
implementing
11,
10
and
I.
Think
we
can
do
that
during
our
periodic
update,
which
is
already
ongoing.
AB
A
Thank
you,
mayor
Robinson,
councilman
Brookfield.
If
you
have
any
additional
questions
or
comments
now,
okay,
great
so
staff
is
looking
for
direction.
Is,
is
a
head
not
going
to
be
okay
tonight
before
we
get
to
councilman
Robertson
for
official
motion,
or
should
we
just
go
right
to
to
a
motion
on
this?
Okay.
I
So
I'll
link
my
comments
and
then.
E
I
I
was
kind
of
on
the
fence
about
what,
if
I
wanted
to
have
staff
look
at
the
Jubilee
reach
very
narrowly
but
I
hearing
from
all
my
colleagues
about
moving
forward
with
all
due
haste,
while
considering
those
things
considering
those
types
of
issues
at
a
later
time,
I
think
is,
is
a
wise
move.
I,
don't
know
that
anyone
focused
on
this,
but
this
process
could
result
in
over
five
thousand
affordable
housing
units
I
mean
that
is
remarkable.
I
I
A
A
With
that
we'll
get
back
into
session
here
we
got
our
2023
State
legislative
session,
wrap
up
so
city
manager.
Would
you
like
to
set
this
up
first,
please
sure
thank.
V
You
Deputy
Mayor
mayor
and
council
members.
This
topic
tonight
is
an
informational
summary
of
the
2023
State
legislative
session.
This
evening,
staff
will
recap
highlights
of
both
noteworthy
policy
bills
as
well
as
budget
items
this
evening.
V
So
joining
us
this
evening
is
Genesee
Atkins
chief
of
external
Affairs
to
her
right
is
Lacey
Jane,
Wolf
assistant,
director
of
intergovernmental
Affairs,
both
from
the
city,
manager's
office
and
I,
believe
a
week's
still
going
to
have
Brianna
Brianna
Murray
from
our
government
relations
consultant
with
Gordon
Thomas
Honeywell
government
Affairs
joining
us
this
well
this
evening
and
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
you
Tennessee
for
particular
presentation.
S
All
right
great
thank
you,
city
manager,
miyankian,
hello,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
back
with
you
to
have
some
time
to
really
talk
in
a
little
bit
greater
depth
about
the
Grand
totality
of
what
the
Washington
State
Legislature
did
this
session
so
we'll
Jump,
Right
In.
Let's
see.
AA
D
S
Go
tonight
we
are
just
providing
you
an
opportunity
to
give
you
an
information
and
a
look
back
on
what
did
and
didn't
happen
during
this
session
and
what
it
means
to
Bellevue
going
forward.
So
we'll
just
keep
moving
ahead.
What
we're
going
to
do
tonight,
as
the
city
manager,
noted
we're
going
to
talk
about
a
quick
overview
of
the
three
biennial
budgets.
We
will
also
then
talk
at
greater
length
about
the
city's
adopted
legislative
priorities
out
of
your
legislative
agenda
from
November
and
then
we'll
talk
about
some
other
notable
policy
bills.
S
That
came
up
many
of
which
passed
and
then
we'll
talk
just
in
closing
about
next
steps,
as
we
turn
toward
the
interim
and
next
session,
so
jumping
in
first
on
the
state
operating
budget.
Obviously
there
are
three
budgets
we'll
walk
through
them:
operating
capital
and
transportation.
Each
one
of
these
is
a
two-year
budget.
The
vast
majority
are
the
Lion's
Share
of
the
operating
budget
goes
to
K-12
education,
higher
education,
Social
Services,
as
well
as
Corrections.
There
are
a
number
of
other
programs,
and
you
can
see
here.
S
S
Moving
on
to
the
capital
budget,
this
is,
of
course,
the
Capital
Construction
program
for
the
state
and
because
it
uses
Bond
capacity,
it
usually
passes
with
a
strong
bipartisan
vote.
I
think
the
by
purchase
and
vote
here
was
almost
unanimous
across
the
chamber.
There
were
a
notable
number
of
Investments
made
in
housing
and
affordable
housing.
This
year
you
can
see
those
called
out
in
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
the
land
acquisition
program
under
the
Housing
Finance
commission
and
some
funds
to
support
utility
connections
to
new,
affordable
housing
projects.
S
There
are
also
a
number
of
other
things
that
do
intersect
with
a
lot
of
city
services,
including
clean
energy,
storm
water
and
Behavioral,
Health
Facilities,
and
then
giving
a
quick
synopsis
of
the
transportation
budget.
This
13.5
billion
dollar
budget.
A
lot
of
it,
was
implementing
the
next
biennium
of
the
move
ahead,
Washington
program,
which
was
new
last
year
in
2022,
as
well
as
some
of
the
remaining
projects
from
connecting
Washington
from
2015..
S
Of
course,
there
were
sizable
and
historic
investments
in
last
year's
move
ahead,
Washington
program
or
Bellevue
fared
very,
very
well,
and
it's
now
time
to
turn
to
the
work
of
how
do
we
really
spread
those
out
across
the
upcoming
biennia,
and
so
washdot
has
been
hard
at
work,
trying
to
make
sure
they
are
pushing
those
programs
out
as
at
the
time
that
they
are
ready.
S
They
also
appropriated
climate
commitment
act,
revenues
to
programs
that
facilitate
multimodal
programs
like
safe
routes
to
schools,
bike
and
pedestrian
safety,
and
as
well
as
something
that
I
know
came
before
you
all
winning
your
very
recent
meetings.
Talking
about
keep
Bellevue
beautiful,
there's.
Also,
some
funding
here
that
addresses
homelessness
in
washdot
washed
out
right-of-way.
S
So
then
that's
at
a
really
really
high
level,
so
bringing
it
down
to
what
Bellevue
carried
forward
coming
out
of
our
adopted
legislative
agenda,
the
first
bucket
or
area
that
I
will
talk
about
is
affordable,
housing
and
land
use.
This
is
one
of
our
three
enumerated
priorities
for
this
session.
I
will
say
this
bucket
overflowed
and
there
were
a
record
number
of
bills
in
play.
This
session
on
housing,
land
use
growth
management
development
permits.
S
There
was
really
a
lot
of
interest
in
really
making
progress
on
a
number
of
different
fronts
this
year,
and
so
it
was
terrific
that
our
legislative
agenda
really
called
this
out
as
something
that
Bellevue
wanted
to
be
part
of
the
conversation
on
I'll
talk
about
the
couple
of
things
you
see
on
this
slide.
First
house
bill
1110,
you
remember
that
as
the
missing
middle
bill
or
the
middle
housing
bill,
this
bill
did
pass
the
legislature,
you
remember
its
predecessor
from
the
2022
session
from
representative
Bateman.
This
bill
went
through
many
many
many
iterations.
S
We
brought
it
to
you
for
a
in-depth
and
thorough
conversation
in
late
January.
Of
course,
the
city
then
submitted
a
comment
letter
two
legislators
enumerating
a
lot
of
specific
comments
and
concerns
that
Bellevue
had
and
by
working
through
our
legislators,
as
well
as
the
proponents
of
the
legislation
and
in
concert
with
AWC
those
specific.
The
concerns
were
remedied
and
spoken
to
in
the
different
iterations
of
the
bill.
Again
as
it
went
through
the
process,
because
there
were
many
many
steps
in
the
end,
there
are
now
I'm
pleased
to
say
multiple
alternative
Pathways
for
compliance.
S
House
Bill
1337
regarded
accessory
dwelling
units.
This
is
sponsored
by
representative
Mia
Gregerson
from
South
King
County.
This
was
signed
into
law.
This
is
relevant.
I
know
in
our
legislative
agenda.
We
called
out
adus
is
something
important
as
an
emerging
housing
type
in
Bellevue.
This
does
require
cities
to
allow
two
adus
per
lot.
It
does
remove
some
of
the
Authority
for
us
to
have
some
additional
requirements
really
trying
to
facilitate
the
sighting
of
adu's
in
cities
across
the
state.
S
Senate
Bill,
5290
I
think
this
is
Senator
mullets,
Bill
round
consolidation,
consolidating
local
permit
review
processes.
This
was
a
I
think
Brown.
It
was
a
government
work,
Governor,
request
legislation.
This
establishes
a
permanent
permit
review,
grant
program
and
sets
forward
new
project
review
timelines.
We
had
a
lot
of
dialogue
with
AWC
and
the
proponents
of
this
legislation.
We
don't
have
to
comply
until
the
beginning
until
2025,
but
it
is
going
to
it's
one
of
the
things.
S
We've
talked
a
little
bit
earlier
this
evening
about
how
the
passage
of
different
bills
are
going
to
affect
the
way
that
we
do
our
work.
This
will
have
impacts
on
the
way
that
development
services
considers
a
number
of
different
types
of
permits.
So
this
is
something
that
we'll
be
digging
in
on
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
how
to
change
our
processes.
S
The
overall
intent
is
a
good
idea,
which
is
to
provide
predictability
and
transparency
about
permits
so
that
we
can
get
a
great
new
housing
in
place
on
the
ground
in
Bellevue,
and
then
I
will
finish
out
by
talking
about
two
big
things
that
we
talked
about
quite
a
lot
that
did
not
pass
Senate,
Bill
5466
related
to
Transit
oriented
development.
This
was
also
Governor
request.
S
Legislation
from
Senator
Mark
Elias
we
this
would
have
required
cities
to
adopt
Tod
densities,
would
have
also
had
a
number
of
different
requirements
related
to
parking
and
to
other
different
development
services
and
floor
area
ratio.
We
worked
quite
a
lot
on
this
legislation
with
the
proponents
and
with
AWC
and
others.
S
They
were
really
happy
to
have
a
lot
of
very
reality,
informed
information
to
make
this
legislation
that
would
be
really
successful
in
being
implemented,
but
it
will
it's
a
biggie
and
it'll
be
back
next
year,
so
this
will
keep
us
busy
again
House
Bill
1628.
This
was
was
a.
There
was
a
lot
of
energy
and
conversation
around
this.
This
would
have
increased.
There
were
different
version
of
this.
This
bill.
Some
would
have
increased
the
Statewide
level
of
real
estate
excise
tax.
Some
would
have
given
local
governments
additional
local
authority
to
apply
a
local
Reit.
S
In
the
end,
this
legislation
did
not
pass
the
legislature
and
I,
don't
know
that
it
will
be
back
next
session,
but
it's
something
that
we
will
certainly
keep
our
eyes
on
as
a
revenue
source
that
would
help
us
fund
housing
and
affordable
housing.
So
with
that
I
will
hand
the
clicker
over
to
my
colleague
Lacey
Jane,
to
talk
through
our
other
budget
priorities
and
then
I'll
come
back
at
the
very
end.
AD
Genesee
you'll
work
you'll
recall
that
last
year,
Bellevue
was
successful
in
having
several
of
our
transportation
priorities
funded
through
the
move
ahead,
Washington
project
and
as
Genesee
mentioned
a
few
minutes
ago
this
year
the
legislature
really
turned
toward
the
phasing
of
those
projects,
and
that
was
a
major
priority
for
Council
and
so
I'm
happy
to
say
that
we
were
successful
in
having
part
of
our
mountains
to
sound
Greenway,
Trail
Project
funding
phased
in
the
2325
biennium.
AD
As
you
know,
that
was
essential
to
our
strategy
to
leverage
that
state
funding
against
2.37
million
dollar
Federal
award
so
very
exciting,
very
excited
that
we
were
able
to
use
some
funding
to
build
on
and
it
keep
the
project
rolling
and
secure
even
more
funding.
We
also
wanted
to
have
move
ahead,
Washington
funding
phase
in
2325
for
two
East
rail
projects,
the
Wilburton
Trestle
and
the
I-90
Steel
Bridge.
AD
So
we
collaborated
with
King
County
and
East
Trail
partners
and
other
great
stakeholders,
and
we
were
successful
on
getting
the
Wilburton
Trestle
funding
partially
placed
in
the
2325
biennium,
but
not
the
I-90
Steel
Bridge.
So
we're
continuing
to
explore
other
near-term
funding
options
for
that.
As
you
might
recall,
the
East
Trail
received
approximately
eight
to
18
million
dollars
total
from
the
move
ahead.
Washington
package-
that's
all
still
intact,
just
not
getting
it
quite
as
quickly
as
we
would
love
to.
AD
Excuse
me
before
I,
move
on
from
Transportation
I
also
wanted
to
mention.
Another
piece
of
great
news
was
that
funding
was
restored
for
the
design
and
right-of-way
phases
of
the
sr520
124th
Avenue
Northeast
project.
You
might
remember
that
the
governor
proposed
delaying
that
project,
but
it
is
back
on
track
so
very
excited
about
that.
AD
The
final
Council
priority
for
the
2023
session
was
fun.
Two
funding
requests
for
great
projects
related
to
services
and
infrastructure.
So
we
successfully
secured
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
expand
the
Community
Services
Center
in
Crossroads,
so
we
can
provide
even
more
services
for
low-income,
immigrant
and
Refugee
members
of
our
community.
AD
Together
with
our
partners
through
the
Community
Services
Center,
we
provide
utility
and
rent
relief,
food,
Access,
Medical,
legal
and
financial
services
too
many
services
to
even
mention
here
so
really
excited
that
we'll
get
to
expand
that
in
The
Crossroads
area.
We
also
secured
over
one
million
dollars
for
Pump
Station
12..
AD
If
you
like
me,
did
not
do
not
recall
all
the
time.
What
a
pump
station
is.
It's
a
very
important
piece
of
infrastructure.
This
particular
one
was
built
in
the
1960s
so
very
pleased
to
have
state
participation
in
an
important
replacement
and
upgrade
to
that
project
to
prevent
any
accidental
sewage
overflows
into
Lake
Sammamish,
so
very
glad
to
have
that
project
funded
so
that
wraps
up
council's
Priority
items.
But,
as
you
know,
we
had
as
well
a
policy
statement
section
of
our
legislative
agenda.
That
listed
many
many
other
important
issues.
AD
The
council
wanted
staff
to
advocate
for
during
the
legislative
session,
I'd
like
to
bring
just
a
few
of
these
bills
to
your
attention,
starting
with
Senate
Bill
5120,
which
will
Implement
a
system
of
Crisis
relief
centers.
AD
This
bill
was
passed
and
fully
funded
and,
as
you
know,
King
County's,
Crisis,
Care,
Centers,
Levy,
similar
type
of
project
also
recently
passed
so
I
recall
when
Leo
Flor
was
presenting
to
council
I
think
a
month
or
two
ago
he
was
saying
how,
even
with
both
of
these
funding
sources,
it
wouldn't
be
enough
to
entirely
fill
the
need
that
we're
seeing
for
this
crisis
care.
But
it's
exciting
to
see
both
of
these
funding
sources
come
together
and
that's
aligned
with
council's
legislative
agenda.
AD
Bellevue
supported
a
number
of
climate
and
environmental
bills
this
year,
I'm
just
going
to
list
three
here
for
the
in
in
the
interest
of
time.
Hb
1181
incorporates
climate
change
into
comprehensive
plan
updates.
Hb
1085
restricts
some
plastic
types
and
requires
water
bottle.
Filling
stations
at
a
number
of
types
of
public
buildings
and
HB
1033
creates
a
work
group
to
make
recommendations
on
improving
compost
Services.
AD
If
you,
if
you
find
yourself
puzzled
about
what
can't
doesn't,
can
go
into
the
compost
and
can't
it's
a
complicated.
It's
not
a
it's,
not
an
easy
answer
to
that,
and
so
how
can
we
make
it
easier
for
people
to
understand
and
make
those
Services
more
available?
Bellevue
was
an
early
supporter
of
this
bill,
and
so
we
were
invited
to
the
bill.
AD
Signing
in
mayor
Robinson
participated
in
that
in
Bellevue
collaborated,
as
Genesee
said,
with
the
association
of
Washington
cities
on
a
number
of
bills
and
in
many
cases
that
consisted
of
of
the
city
advocating
for
amendments
to
bills,
bringing
our
on-the-ground
experience
and
expertise
to
policy
makers
to
help
them
make
sure
that
the
bills
were
implementable.
AD
Hb
1329
is
a
great
example
of
that
when
we
worked
with
AWC
on
that
bill,
the
bill
prevents
utilities
from
terminating
Water
and
Electric
Service
due
to
non-payment,
During
certain
heat
related
events,
Washington
already
had
a
similar
law
in
place,
I
believe
from
decades
ago,
preventing
shutoffs
during
winter
months
and,
as
you
all
know,
that
summers
are
getting
very
hot
and
the
goal
is
really
to
protect
human
life
and
prevent
suffering
from
shutoffs
due
to
non-payment.
During
these
heat
events,
and
so
Association
of
Washington
cities
was
a
great
partner
on
this
and
many
bills.
AD
When
we
were
able
to
make
help,
legislators
see
how
some
of
the
provisions
in
the
bills
just
weren't
going
to
be
implementable.
So
this
is
one
of
them
where
we
were
successful
in
getting
amendments
that
we
requested
and
another
bill
to
point
out,
is
SB
5770
one
of
a
couple
of
proposals
this
year
to
lift
the
one
percent
property
growth
tax,
the
property
tax
growth
cap.
This
session
Bellevue
supported
their
proposals
per
our
legislative
agenda
and
the
idea
was
debated
by
legislators.
But
ultimately
lost
momentum.
AD
This
version
makes
knowing
possession
and
knowing
use
of
controlled
substances
in
a
in
a
public
place,
both
a
gross
misdemeanor
and
one
benefit
of
this
bill
and
the
special
session
that
made
sure
a
fix
was
came
before
the
the
previous
Bill
expired,
leading
up
to
July
1..
So
one
benefit
of
this
bill
is
it
establishes
a
consistent
Statewide
policy
on
possession
and
knowing
use
instead
of
having
a
patchwork
of
different
policies
adopted
by
local
governments.
So
that
was
a
very
exciting
one-day
special
session
that
happened
last
week
and
they
and
they
did
come
together.
AD
An
agreement
on
that
I
know
that
Bellevue
staff
is
putting
together
some
information
about
deferral
processes
in
in
Bellevue
and
that
will
be
coming
to
council
at
a
future
date.
So
just
putting
a
pin
in
that.
Finally,
wrapping
up
here
with
another
Public
Safety
bill,
SB
5352,
thanks
Genesee,
which
made
changes
to
the
state's
policy
on
vehicular
Pursuits.
So
council's
legislative
agenda
supported
making
a
change
to
this
policy,
specifically
the
evidentiary
threshold
for
these
Pursuits
from
probable
cause
to
Reasonable
Suspicion
for
specific
crimes,
and
this
bill
achieves
that
change.
AD
So
that's
another
example
of
where
council's
policies
and
priorities
were,
you
know,
move
forward
during
the
legislative
session,
so
overall
I'm
very
excited
to
have
been
able
to
report
to
you
on
on
the
outcomes
of
these
bills.
I
would
have
loved
to
go
over
dozens
and
dozens
of
more
bills
with
you,
but
Genesee
said
she
was
cutting
me
off
here,
so
I'm
going
to
relinquish
the
clicker
back
to
her.
But
let
me
know
if
you
have
questions
about
other
bills,.
S
Later,
thank
you
Lacy
Jane,
oh
no,
there
we
go
so
I'll
talk
for
just
a
moment
about
next
steps
in
the
2023
interim
and
I
realize
I
missed.
One
of
my
bullet
points
from
my
earlier
slide,
so
I'll
hit
that
one
as
I'm
doing
this
one
of
the
things
we're
doing
right
now
and
I
alluded
to
this
a
little
bit
before
right
now,
we're
working
with
the
city,
attorney's
office
and
the
department
directors
to
really
talk
about.
S
You
know
how
what
is
the
net
impact
of
the
legislation
that
passed
on
the
work
that
we're
doing
a
lot
of
it
because
it
was
such
an
abundant
session
on
land
use,
housing,
growth
management
and
permitting
a
lot
of
it
will
take
place
inside
of
the
comprehensive
plan
work
and
that
work
is
well
underway
and
I
I
think
to
their
credit,
a
lot
of
the
staff
in
those
departments
were
already
planning
and
making
space
for
there
to
be
some
changes
from
this
legislative
session.
So
right
now,
they're
doing
that
work
to
really
analyze.
S
S
I
know
we're
working
really
closely
with
some
of
the
partners
we
built
around
some
of
these
issues
and
around
some
different
Federal
issues
like
federal
grants
and
earmarks
as
well.
So
when
we
have
something
that
is
a
really
important
priority
for
the
city,
we
don't
just
look
to
one
different
sort
of
opportunity,
but
we
really
go
okay.
If
we're
there's
something
we
want
to
achieve.
What
are
the
different
places?
S
We
can
turn
and
really
build
some
momentum
towards
some
solutions,
whether
it's
funding
or
policy,
so
we'll
be
doing
that
as
we
come
out
of
this
session
and
start
to
think
about.
Okay,
what
are
the?
What
are
the
opportunities
ahead
both
in
the
next
state
session,
but
also
with
the
federal
government,
with
the
psrc,
with
our
other
Regional
Partners
as
well
and
and
that
kind
of
really
is
covered
by
that
second
bullet?
S
One
thing:
I:
do
that
I
skipped
inadvertently
overwhelmed
by
the
volume
of
Housing
and
land
use
issues,
I
did
not
mention,
and
this
is
my
slip
up.
I
didn't
mention
the
one
of
our
budget
requests
that
was
not
honored,
and
that
was
our
funding
that
we
requested
to
acquire
land
for
deeply
affordable
housing.
S
So
our
request
to
the
capital
budget
this
year
for
housing
was
a
bank
of
money
as
a
one-to-one
match
kind
of,
with
our
collateral
in
hand
to
build
zero
to
fifty
percent
Ami
housing,
we
would
be
able
to
build
to
purchase
the
land
so
that
we
could
partner
with
a
developer,
to
then
really
focus
on
the
costs
above
the
ground.
We're
not
ultimately
successful.
S
In
getting
that
off
the
ground,
we
had
great
receptivity
from
our
terrific
lawmakers
in
the
41st
and
48th
District
districts,
but
we
were
not
successful
in
getting
the
funding
out
of
the
legislature
in
the
format
we
had
requested
it.
We
did
have
some
really
good
productive
conversations
with
lawmakers
about
how
we
can
make
better
use
of
the
tools
that
are
allocated
and
appropriated
to
the
Department
of
Commerce.
So
that's
part
of
what
we're
doing
is
we're
going
okay.
What
can
we
go
together
with
some
other
Eastside
cities
on?
S
S
We
can
do
that
because,
when
we
went
with
our
opportunity,
which
we
thought
was
pretty
cool,
we
also
expected
to
be
joined
by
a
lot
of
other
cities
because
planning
for
additional
population
per
our
planning
Horizons
through
the
psrc
and
the
growth
management
act.
That's
not
new
needing
to
plan
for
affordable
housing
targets.
That
is
an
new
exercise,
we're
going
through
through
the
Department
of
Commerce
and
with
King
County.
S
So
we
thought
that
a
lot
of
other
jurisdictions
would
join
us
in
saying:
hey
the
market
will
help
provide
housing,
growth
and
a
lot
of
the
other
parts
of
the
affordability
Spectrum,
but
at
this
deepest
level
you
know
the
market
alone
will
get
there.
We
need
some
money
on
the
table
from
the
state
to
help
us
really
provide
this
deeply
affordable
housing.
It
will
help
it
happen
faster,
and
so
we
thought
we
would.
S
We
thought
our
voice
would
turn
into
a
choir
and
it
didn't
really
happen
that
way,
so
we're
going
to
use
the
different
tools
that
have
been
appropriated
to
Commerce
to
really
get
creative
and
crafty
because
we
know
the
need
is
now
so
I
wanted
to
mention
that,
because
I
skipped
over
it
inadvertently.
On
the
earlier
slide,
we
will
be
working
to
thank
our
lawmakers
in
the
41st
and
48th
districts.
They
have
been
terrific.
They
were
so
accessible
to
us
accessible
to
you.
S
They
were
great
thought
Partners,
as
we
went
through
both
the
budget
side
and
the
policy
side.
We
are
very
fortunate
to
have
such
a
strong
delegation
for
Bellevue
and
we're
going
to
talk
with
them,
not
only
to
express
our
thanks
and
gratitude
for
the
policy
work
and
the
budget
work
this
last
session,
but
to
look
ahead
to
next
year
and
say:
okay,
it's
a
60-day
session.
What
do
we
want
to
do
together?
How
can
we
help
you?
S
Lacey
Jane
and
I
and
Brianna
are
yours
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
here
or
elsewhere
and
later
we
love
this
stuff
and
it's
an
honor
to
represent
you
in
working
with
our
state
officials.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
great
report.
There
was
so
much
to
go.
I
mean
you
could
have
filled
another
couple
of
PowerPoint
decks
here
with
additional
bills
to
to
review
and
talk
about
just
I,
don't
know
incredibly
complicated
and
so
many
moving
pieces
on
so
many
different
bills.
It
just
feels
like
it
was
a
more
complicated
session
this
past
session
and
then
prior
years.
As
far
as
I
can
remember
so
just
kudos
to
you
and
I
hope.
A
You
and
your
whole
team
have
time
to
you
know
to
relax
a
little
bit
after
such
a
before
the
next
session,
but
I'm
sure
you
will
but
great.
Thank
you
again
for
all
your
great
work
and
I'm,
assuming
everybody
is
going
to
want
to
touch
on
this
a
little
bit
so
we'll
just
do
it
in
reverse
order,
I'll
start
first
and
then
we'll
go
from
customer
Mark
still
down
and
then
we'll
and
with
mayor
Robinson
there
I
will
say
we
still
have
a
lot
to
get
to
tonight.
A
So
if
we
can
keep
our
comments
to
three
about
three
minutes
or
so
that
would
be
great
with
that
I'll.
Kick
it
off
and
I'm
just
gonna
focus
on
on
the
kind
of
the
public
safety
piece
on
this
and
Lacey
dream.
Thank
you
for
for
mentioning
that,
specifically
Blake
is
going
to
come
back.
A
That's
one.
I
have
a
lot
of
questions.
I
I
mean
I'm
thrilled
that
the
legislature
was
able
to
get
over
the
hurdle
and
pass
something,
but
but
I've
got
a
lot
of
concerns
about
some
of
the
things
that
were
in
here
now
that
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
actually
read
the
bill.
A
You
know,
for
example,
you
know
drug
paraphernalia
I
know
that
we
have
a
city
ordinance
City
attorney
already
regarding
drug
paraphernalia,
but
this
seems
to
exempt
it
so
I'd
be
curious
to
see
what
the
impact
of
that
would
be.
There's
also
opioid
treatment
programs,
both
mobile
and
fixed
site
medication
units-
and
this
is
recovery,
residences
harm
reduction
programs-
and
it's
unclear
to
me
if
this
is
for
safe
injection
sites
or
not,
but
it,
but
it
establishes
essential
public
facilities.
A
That
I
would
like
to
know
a
lot
more
information
about,
and
then
it
seems
to
be
taking
away
some
local
control
in
terms
of
maximum
capacity.
For
opioid
treatment
programs
in
our
in
our
city
and
that
also
that
the
Department
of
Health
now
for
no
longer
needs
to
do
a
public
hearing,
but
just
a
public
notice
about
treatment
centers
as
well.
So
these
are
all
things
I'd
like
to
understand.
A
It's
a
little
bit
better
I'm
sure
a
City
attorney
probably
already
had
this
on
her
list
of
things
to
to
bring
back,
but
these
are
all
things
I
just
like
to
get
a
get
a
better
understanding
of,
because
they
are
of
concern
in
terms
of
what
what
the
impact
will
be
to
the
to
the
city
of
Bellevue.
A
You
know
in
a
similar
light,
I'm
thrilled
that
we
were
able
to
past
5352
regarding
Pursuits
I
was
hoping
they
would
go
further.
I
think
a
lot
of
people
were
hoping
to
go
further
to
give
our
our
Police
Department
a
little
bit
more
discretion,
but
unfortunately
that
didn't
happen.
This
is
an
improvement
though,
and
I
and
I
don't
want
to
downplay
that
this
is
an
improvement.
A
I,
don't
think
it's
it
it's
there.
Yet,
but
again,
it's
an
improvement.
So
it'd
really
be
interesting
to
see
what
happens
in
terms
of
my
own
personal
belief
that
this
led
to
a
vast
increase
in
number
of
vehicle
thefts,
for
example,
that
reached
nearly
50
000,
which
was
unprecedented
for
the
for
the
for
the
state,
and
hopefully
it
also
addresses
the
issue
of
people
simply
just
not
pulling
over
when
someone
when
a
police
officer
is
trying
to
pull
someone
over
for
speeding
or
or
what
have
you.
A
There
was
case
after
case
after
case,
especially
from
the
Washington
State
Patrol
saying
they
would
just
continue,
drive
on
or
speed
up,
which
obviously
would
have
some
some
dangerous
repercussions
to
it.
But,
but
it
is,
it
is
better
than
it
than
it
once
was
so
we'll
take
the
small
victory
there.
A
So
I'll
stop
there
to
make
sure
I
stay
under
my
three
minutes
here,
but
again,
thank
you
for
all
the
great
work
and
thank
you
for
keeping
us
a
prize
during
this
process
too,
and
giving
us
updates,
as
things
were,
moving
that
was
really
important
too
and
then,
as
well
as
you
know,
getting
us
involved
as
needed
to
to
weigh
in
on
some
of
these
bills.
So
thank
you
so.
L
Oh,
thank
you
thanks
Stephanie
deputy
mayor,
so
thank
you
for
all
the
work
throughout
the
session
and
as
Deputy
Mayor
mentioned
all
the
complexity.
That
was
there
so
appreciate
that
working
through
that
I
just
wanted
to
hone
in
on
one
part,
and
that
is
on
the
Blake
resolution,
and
this
is
mostly
stuff
to
come
back
in
the
manager's
report.
L
Later
I
still
struggle
with
criminalizing
substance
use
disorder,
especially
if
it
doesn't
impact
another
person
in
this
you
know
self-harm,
but
it's
it's
the
law
now
and
I
guess
what
I'm
more
interested
in
now
is
similar
to
what
I
raised
last
time
in
terms
of
understanding
any
disproportionate
impact.
So
what
data
are
we
collecting?
What
data
do
we
expect
to
collect
to
better
understand
that
in
the
future
and
I
am
interested
in
what
enforcement
will
look
like
just
trying
to
get
a
sense
of.
L
I'll
just
be
candidly
I,
don't
I
would
I
would
not
want
us
to
go
looking
for
situations.
I
guess
you
know.
G
L
Take
a
more
more
of
an
approach
where
we
are
you
know
if,
if,
if
we
come
across
it
we're
we're
there
to
help
right
where
to
help
diverse
and
so
forth,
and
to
that
point
interested
in
what
programming
and
services
we
currently
have,
but
also
that
we
are
considering
starting
to
support
people
who
are
experiencing
substance
use
disorder
and
with
that
thinking
about
Community
courts.
I
know
we're
already
talking
about
it.
L
We've
just
come
up
as
part
of
the
probation,
Advisory,
Board
and
and
the
conversations
and,
if
I
understand
correctly,
there's
some
money
that
we
would
have
to
ship
in
to
make
that
work
and
so
I'd
be
interested
in
what
that
would
look
like.
So
we
could
talk
about
it
as
part
of
our
mid
budget.
L
I
Performed
I
appreciate
it.
Yeah
a
lot
happening
this
session.
The
mental
health
funding
increases
is
really
good.
The
Blake
fix
has
a
lot
of
money
for
treatment,
which
I
think
is
really
good.
I
I
do
I,
think
there's
some
inconsistencies
in
the
bill
and
there's
some
gaps
in
the
bill:
the
adding
the
harm
reduction
to
essential
public
facilities,
but
then
specifically
excluding
safe
injection
sites.
The
section
12
of
the
bill
is
it's
good
that
they
excluded
those
our
land
use
code,
prohibit
safe
consumption
sites,
so
I'm
not
sure
whether
then
save
consumption
sites
that
are
smoking
or
eating
or
whatever
other
than
injection
are
it's.
It's
just
confusing.
I
I
I
would
like
I
know
that
every
city
is
going
to
be
dealing
with
how
to
how
to
work
this
out,
but
and
the
opioid
treatment,
I
guess
Deputy
Mayor
said
not
limiting
the
number
of
people
that
can
be
in
a
facility.
I
think
that
it
it's
another
way
that
the
legislature
is
taking
away.
I
Local
energy
control,
so
I
know
that
our
land
use
staff
has
got
a
lot
to
do
to
figure
out
how
we
take
all
of
these
new
laws,
including
11,
10
and
and
the
Adu
Bill,
and
incorporate
them
as
we
are
required
to
do
one
other
issue
with
Blake
bill.
It's
legislative
haste,
repentant,
Leisure
kind
of
thing.
They
made
the
some
of
the
sections
effective,
July
1st
others
are
effective
later
and
there's
an
issue
with
the
current
law
says
that
police
have
to
divert
someone.
This
says
police
May.
I
So
that's
just
but
I
I
agree
with
council
member
Barksdale
about
Community
courts.
I
think
that's
really
good.
When
Debbie
Mayer
had
brought
forward
a
Blake
fix
on
the
city
to
do
our
own
Blake
fix
when
we
didn't
know
if
the
legislature
was
going
to
act.
One
of
my
comments
at
the
time
was
that
I
thought
we
should
consider
using
some
of
the
opioid
settlement
money
for
funding
addiction,
treatment.
I.
I
Think
that
we
should
still
consider
that,
in
addition
to
the
community
courts,
but
I
would
want
to
do
addiction
treatment
that
is
not
including
safe
consumption
sites.
Let's
get
an
addiction
treatment
that
actually
helps
people
get
clean
and
the
community
courts
are
going
to
work
a
whole
lot
better
and
help
a
whole
lot
of
people
who
suffer
from
drug
and
alcohol
addiction
if
they
are
actually
put
into
those
Community
courts
by
being
criminally
charged.
So
that's
where
I
think
the
Blake
fix
can
work
really
well
with
that
kind
of.
I
If
we
have
money
for
treatment,
we
have
Community
courts
to
help
people
make
good
decisions,
but
we
also
have
the
hammer
of
you
know,
making
bad
decisions,
because
for
many
many
people
that
suffer
drug
addiction,
it
is
not
their
only
crime,
they
do
a
lot
of
other
crimes
to
support
their
addiction
and
it's
you
know
we
need
to
help
them
help
themselves.
So
I
guess
I'll
just
end
there
to
keep
things
tight
for
the
evening.
Thank
you.
Council.
F
F
I
agree
that
we
need
to
identify
additional
funding
opportunities,
especially
when
I
think
about
the
bill
that
talks
about
adus
and
just
making
sure
that
it
isn't
just
people
that
have
money
to
be
able
to
build
out
in
Adu.
That
has
that
opportunity.
So
what
does
it
look
like
in
terms
of
having
opportunities
for
others
that
especially
seniors
that
age
in
place
where
the
only
asset
is
their
home?
You
know
how
might
they
be
able
to
build
out
adus
and
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
I'm
curious
about
the
400
million?
F
Is
that
an
increase
from
previous,
and
does
that
mean
that
there's
more
funding
available
from
the
Housing
Trust
Fund,
because
I
had
heard
that
there's
more
need
than
there
is
funding?
And
so
when
we
have
developers
that
apply
for
affordable
housing
that
that's
not
as
available
same
question
with
the
clean
energy
capital
budget,
whether
some
of
that
money
might
be
available
for
our
own
Municipal
Greening
of
solar
roof,
electrifying,
our
Fleet
and
so
again
really
looking
at
how
we
maximize
the
state
funding
potential
to
help
augment
the
funding
that
we
have
within
the
city.
F
I
echo
my
colleagues
comments
about
the
community
Court
I.
Remember
when
I
brought
it
up
several
years
ago,
it
sounded
like
King
County,
it
funds,
the
one
for
Redmond,
and
maybe
one
in
South
King
County.
So
is
that
another
space
for
us
to
look
at
funding
for
Community
courts
and
we're
not
going
it
alone,
because
I
do
think
that
having
these
pre-trial
diversion
programs
is
going
to
be
really
really
important.
F
Is
that
something
we
can
Advocate
to
make
sure
that
there
are
going
to
be
those
on
the
east
side,
so
that
you
know
we,
when
we
find
someone
in
crisis
in
the
community
that
there
actually
is
a
landing
bed
for
them
to
go,
because
it
seems
like
the
King
County
prop
1
still
only
provides
four
facilities
and
one
youth
facility
and
then
lastly,
52.90
that
talks
about
the
streamlining
the
permit
process
for
affordable,
I
I'm
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
already
doing
streamline
a
permit
process
for
affordable
housing,
so
we're
not
waiting
until
2025
to
do
some
of
that
work
and
at
the
same
time,
is
there
some
funding
available
at
the
state
level
to
help
us
pay
for
some
of
this.
F
F
Barksdale
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
out
looking
for
people,
because
you
know
I
think
it's
one
thing
to
say
that
knowing
use
in
a
public
space
but
just
knowing
possession
so
we're
saying
that
if
someone
has
something
in
their
pocket,
they're
not
using
it
in
a
public
space,
that's
that's
still
a
gross
misdemeanor,
so
I'd
like
to
make
sure
I
understand
what
we're
actually
doing
related
to
the
the
Blake
decision.
Related
to
that.
So
thank
you.
S
Councilmember
can
I
talk
about
a
couple
of
the
quick
questions
that
you
enumerated
so
and
Brianna
I'm
gonna
call
you
up
off
of
the
bench
here
in
just
one
second,
so
just
to
start
before
we
I
hand
it
to
Brianna.
So
a
number
of
the
programs
related
to
clean
energy
are
not
intended
necessarily
for
municipalities
to
apply
directly.
However,
I
think
we
can
dig
in
a
little
bit
more
and
I
know.
We
are
just
thanks
to
our
recently
adopted
budget
at
the
city.
S
We
want
to
find
out
if
we
can
go,
maybe
as
a
group
or
as
a
collective,
but
they're
generally
not
set
up
for
cities
to
apply
but
you're
smart
to
ask
what
is
eligible.
Our
public
works
trust
fund
dollars.
Those
are
Grant.
Excuse
me.
Those
are
loan
funds,
not
Grant
funds,
but
those
would
be
something
that
we
might
want
to
use
for
a
clean
energy
type
projects
potentially
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Brandon.
S
To
talk
specifically
about
the
to
either
correct
the
things
I've
just
said
or
to
and
to
certainly
talk
about
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
I
do
believe
that
it
might
be
a
high
water
mark
for
funding
for
the
program,
but
it
is
broken
down
into
a
host
of
different
sub
programs.
Brianna.
Do
you
want
to
chime
in
and
make
more
sense
of
that?
Please.
AE
Yeah,
absolutely
so,
starting
with
the
housing
funding,
I
want
to
just
take
it
up
to
an
even
higher
level
between
the
operating
and
the
capital
budget.
The
legislature
invested
over
a
billion
dollars
in
housing
related
funding,
which
includes
the
400
million
in
the
Housing
Trust
Fund,
as
well
as
many
other
Capital
Investments.
But
then
it
also
includes
an
operating
budget.
AE
Think
one
of
the
the
reasons
you
may
have
heard
what
you
did
about
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
is
when
the
legit,
when
the
governor
had
put
forward
his
proposal
to
issue
voter
approved
bonds
and
when
the
legislature
was
actively
discussing
imposing
a
Statewide
read.
The
number
that
would
have
been
allocated
to
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
would
have
been
quite
a
bit
higher
than
400
million.
AE
So
there
are
some
Advocates
who
are
disappointed
that
the
legislature
didn't
take
either
of
those
actions
to
go
above
the
400
million,
but
it
is
a
historically
High
number
and
and
the
one
billion
dollars
combined
altogether
and
all
the
different
accounts
is
also
historically
High.
AE
One
note
just
on
separate
from
housing,
but
on
your
broader
comment
about
making
sure
that
Bellevue
captures
as
much
of
the
state
funding
that
the
legislature
is
making
available
through
these
biennial
budgets.
AE
I'll
just
note
that
we're
we're
pretty
early
in
the
process
we're
determining
what
what
programs
the
city
specifically
going
to
be
eligible
for,
particularly
for
new
programs.
So
when
the
legislature
creates
and
funds
a
new
program
in
the
biennial
budget,
it's
then
up
to
the
agency
to
start
creating
and
the
rulemaking
and
eligibility
requirements
associated
with
that
pot
of
money.
So,
in
some
cases
where
the
legislature
is
creating
a
new
program,
we
don't
yet
know
whether
or
not
we'll
be
eligible,
but
we'll
know
that
by
mid-summer.
U
Yeah,
thank
you.
This
is
a
really
good
discussion.
I'm
one
thing
I
want
to
touch
on
is
I.
Think
we
do
need
to
have
more
discussions
about
these
and
I
know.
There's
some
things.
U
We
want
to
look
at
and
change,
but
I
I
really
hope
we
don't
just
jump
in
and
say
we
should
do
a
b
and
c,
and
then
we
talk
about
it
and
to
change
something
that
has
had
all
the
efforts
into
it
that
the
legislature
has
done
in
a
very,
very
positive
look
at
this
and
have
a
you
know
an
hour
discussion
and
decide
to
change
it.
I
think
it
just
doesn't
won't
help
us
a
lot.
U
My
concerns
are
a
couple
of
things:
I
first
I
think
they
did
a
great
job,
considering
everything
and
there's
a
delicate
balance
between
safety
concerns
and
achieving
catching
up.
You
know
pervert,
or
something
and
or
coming
down
the
street
and
and
again
I
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
it.
Yes,
it'd
be
good.
If
we
could
catch
everybody-
and
you
know
at
the
the
beat
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
luncheon,
we
had
the
other
day.
U
There
was
a
discussion,
a
really
good
discussion
about
how
to
keep
how
to
deal
with
people
coming
in
and
stealing
things
and
all
this,
and
there
are
other
ways
to
do
it
other
than
having
police
go
roaring
down
the
street,
and
actually
there
are
too
many
police
deaths
from
that
and
deaths
from
other
people.
And
it's
a
it's
a
real
hard
issue
on
it.
So
I
think.
U
If
we
want
to
make
some
changes,
we
need
to
really
focus
on
that
and
do
the
balances
on
it,
because
otherwise
we're
still
going
to
have
people
getting
away
but
having
somebody
injured
or
killed
in
the
process,
and
that's
one
thing:
I.
Think
that
drove
this
to
look
back
on
him.
So,
but
you
know
we
can
take
a
look
at
that
and
see
what
we
can
improve
on
it.
U
The
same
thing
with
with
the
with
the
treatment
and
again
you
know,
there's
a
real,
delicate
balance
in
that
in
terms
of
what
we
can
do
and
what
what
would
be
the
best
I
think
our
our
legislation
that
we
put
in
or
is
actually
a
good,
solid
piece
to
work
on.
But
the
other
factor
is
this
with
both
this
and
the
cons.
The
Pursuits
is
that
this
is
not
all
done.
We
don't.
We
don't
have
a
border
around
Bellevue
so
that
we
can
control
all
that.
U
It
happens
at
all
the
other
jurisdictions
and
up
the
roads.
And
again
we
have
to
do
something.
That's
rational
and
the
question
is
the
other.
Is
we
don't
have
when
it
comes
down
to
it?
We
don't
have
the
funding
to
do
all
the
things
that
we
can
think
of.
We
should
have
police
or
others
going
off
doing
so.
I
think
we
need
to
have
a.
We
have
a
good
foundation
and
it's
not
any.
It
didn't
change
anything
that
we
in
our
legislation
really
had.
We
put
that
in
place.
U
We
wouldn't
be
doing
these
things
either.
So
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
we're
not
going
to
try
to
react
overreact
to
what
we
didn't
think
didn't
get
put
into
the
the
decision
on
this
or
the
legislation.
So
I
think
it's
really
good.
We
just
need
to
work
on
this.
The
issue
on
of
cities
and
getting
people
in
treatment
all
again
is
again
a
very
much
of
a
you
know:
we're
not
we're
not
an
island,
we
don't
people
come
and
go
in
this
and
I
think
again.
U
The
legislation
we
have
on
that
is
really
helps
us
move
forward
and
what
the
legislature
put
in
place
on
will
make
a
lot
of
difference.
Sometimes
we're
arguing
about
what
certain
words
mean
and
what
we
need
to
look
at
is
is
again
I,
think
give
this
legislation
and
give
this
piece
of
time
to
see
what
works,
and
we
can,
you
know,
make
additionals
and
improvements
as
go
along,
but
I
I
just
think
it
would
be
a
kind
of
quixotic
thing
to
say:
well,
it's
we
don't
like
it.
It
wasn't
perfect.
U
So,
let's
go
after
and
try
to
do
something
else.
Instead
of
saying,
how
can
we
make
it
work
and
I
think
we're
talking
about
the
same
thing?
It's
just
how
we
look
at
it
and
forcefully
so
I
think
I
think
we,
you
know.
The
whole
thing
was
a
good
job.
It's
the
perfect,
because
it's
not
achievable
but
I
think
they
did
a
pretty
good
job
and
there
are
things
that
we
can
work
on,
but
I
just
I
hope
we
don't
get
caught
up
in
a
well.
This
isn't
perfect.
U
We
want
to
do
something
else
and
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
that,
instead
of
working
together
with
it
and
I
think
we
can
do
that.
The
one
thing
that
really
bothers
me
about
this
is
when
we're
not
getting
the
I-90
Steel
Bridge
money.
S
Know
the
one
I
will
say:
councilmember
it's
something
it
came
up
earlier
today
as
well.
That
is
a
really
important
project
in
the
East
Rock
Corridor
and
we
are
working
very
actively
with
King
County
and,
as
Lacey
Jane
said,
Easter
Partners
to
identify
both
local
Regional
and
federal
funding
sources,
because
it's
not
a
small
amount
of
money.
P
S
AC
Chair
one
thing:
I
want
to
say
before
everything
else
is
thank
you
for
the
work
you
do
I
mean
you
can
tell
how
much
you
have
worked
on
so
many
bills
and
I
won't
also
thank
our
lobbyists.
You
know
I
understand
how
tough
it
is
that
you
know
we're
living
the
staff
we
work
long
distance.
We
have
to
have
somebody
who
understand
how
the
legislature
Works
how
the
legislators
are
working.
AC
These
are
very
important,
so
we
can
work
through
all
this
Maze
of
so
many
many
items
and
priorities
that
we're
looking
at
and
you
know,
I'm
looking
at
the
direction
you
want
it's
for
information
only
you
know
so
we're
not
just
we'll
give
you
a
lot
of
input
I.
You
know.
If
I
have
to
give
you
input
on
every
item,
you
mentioned
every
priority
that
I'm
thinking
about
it
would
take
hours
if
not
days.
AC
I'm
already,
you
know,
I
wouldn't
I,
don't
want
to
use
the
word
too
harshly,
but
I'm
already
flooded
with
a
lot
of
information.
You've
brought
back
a
lot
of
it's
very
good.
You
know
I'm
very
happy
what
we
have
successfully
been
able
to
get,
but
at
the
same
time
there
are
a
lot
of
things
we
can
still
keep
on
working.
AC
You
know
so
I
think
that,
rather
than
doing
that,
I
think
we
just
should
just
listen
to
you
and
then
absorb
it
and
then
have
the
opportunity
to
do
what
you
suggest
to
do,
which
is
you
listed
what
to
do
for
the
next
step
in
2023
interim,
we
need
to
identify
new
or
different
funding
opportunities
and
understand
the
impact
of
new
laws
or
the
city.
Listen,
it
all
makes
sense,
but
that
takes
time
that
takes
us
each
of
us
giving
you
our
priority
our
thought
about
all
these
issues.
G
G
AC
Mayor
has
told
me
if
she's
working
on
the
eastern
time
three,
obviously
so
it's
already
midnight
for
her,
so
you
want
us
to
be
brief
and
I
want
to
be
very
brief.
So
I
already
said
most
of
us
what
I
said.
Thank
you
guys
for
doing
this,
but
I
think
moving
forward.
You
know
I'm
not
going
to
address
each
one.
Many
of
us
have
talked
about
each
issues.
I.
V
AC
AC
What's
the
situation
so
I'm
going
to
just
forgo
all
that
stuff
bro
one
thing
I
would
just
say
in
order
to
do
that,
we
need
to
have
real
conversation,
ideas
and
dialogue
which,
with
each
of
us,
so
that
we
can
give
you
our
thoughts,
our
thinking,
you
know
in
a
more
comprehensive
way,
and
then
you
can
respond
to
us
with
your
lobbyists.
Is
it
realistic?
What
can
we
do?
What
can
we
ask
if
we
ask
the
right
thing
we'll
get?
AC
AC
Ahead
and
develop
adopt
a
2024,
State
Legislative
agenda.
That's
what
we
need
to
do
so
we
need
to
set
it
up.
Excuse
us!
You
know
you
mention
also
what
we
should
do
to
thank
our
legislators
communicate
with
them
right
you.
You
mentioned
that
very
much,
so
I
think
we
should
do
that.
Absolutely
because
we're
setting
up
for
the
next
next
session.
If
we
don't
understand,
if
we
don't
show
our
appreciation,
we
are
not.
You
know
we're
not
going
to
be
successful
and
so
use
us
use
each
of
us.
AC
AC
If
we
don't
get
it,
we
say
well,
what
else
can
we
do
and
I
think
this
is
where
your
report
tonight
summary
will
be
most
useful,
so
I
look
at
it
as
a
very
good
beginning
Foundation
to
get
us
where
we
are,
but
we
need
to
continue
this
so
that
when
we
go
to
the
next
session,
we
know
what
we're
getting
with
a
lot
of
information.
You
give
me.
So
what
do
you
want
to
do
and
ask
you
questions
on
each
one?
No
tell
you
what
I
think
no
thank.
A
You
councilmember,
so
thank
you,
no
that's
great
and
then
lastly,
mayor
Robinson,
would
you
like
to
weigh
in.
AB
I'll
be
quick.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
want
to
thank
our
legislators,
our
state
legislators
for
all
their
hard
work
on
our
behalfs
and
our
staff
for
all
your
hard
work,
lobbying
and
and
collaborating
with
them
very
good
job.
We
got
a
lot
of
what
we
wanted.
AB
I
have
a
few
questions
and
you
can
get
back
to
me
on
it
with
an
email
on
the
answers
on
these,
but
as
some
of
the
other
council
members
have
asked
I'm
very
curious
as
to
what
Blake
will
look
like
in
our
city
with
the
programs
and
the
funding
that
we
already
have
so
I
hope
the
city
manager
can
do
a
report
back
to
us
I'm
curious
with
the
Senate
Bill
5120,
the
crisis
relief
centers,
if
it's
possible
for
us
to
tap
that
to
create
a
crisis
Relief
Center
in
Bellevue.
AB
Recently
we
had
somebody
on
the
sidewalk
in
a
crisis
and
there
is
absolutely
no
place
to
put
somebody
in
a
mental
health
crisis
of
that
degree,
and
so
we
absolutely
need
places
for
people
to
help
them
I'm
curious
about
how
much
rental
assistance
money
we
have
out
of
1406
I
know
they're,
allowing
more
rental
assistance
dollars
to
come
out
of
that
tax.
So
I'd
be
curious
to
to
know
how
much
more
we're
getting
of
that,
and
also
on
the
East
Trail
I
still
don't
understand
why
we
can't
use
the
existing.
AB
Is
it
a
bridge
going
over
I-90
The
Trestle
going
over
I-90
I,
don't
understand
why
we
can't
take
what
we
have
and
add
on
to
that.
If
that
saves
money,
I'd
be
really
interested
in
knowing
more
about
that.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
next
in
our
agenda
item
is
our
intergovernmental
Affairs,
but
that's
written
only
there's
no
presentation
there.
So
if
you
have
any
questions,
please
follow
up
via
email
or
or
phone
with
staff.
So
next
we'll
move
on
to
Ordnance
6740
final
action
on
the
NCR
building,
rezone
application,
so
city
manager
would
like
to
set
that
up.
Yes,.
V
Thank
you
Tiffany
mayor
mayor
council
members,
given
that
the
next
title
is
a
closet,
judicial,
rezone,
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
our
City
attorney
Kathy
gerla,
to
introduce
the
item.
Kathy.
X
Thank
you,
Mr
Miyaki,
good
evening,
council
members.
So
the
next
item
of
business
is
a
potential
final
action
on
the
NCR
building,
rezone
application
and
the
applicant
seeks
the
rezone
of
3.17
Acre
Site,
located
at
15,
400
Southeast,
30th
Place
from
office
to
office,
limited
business
or
I'll
be
two,
and
this
rezone
is
intended
to
be
consistent
with
an
amendment
to
the
comp
plan
that
the
council
adopted
back
in
2017.
X
So
at
the
this
is
a
process
three
quasi-judicial
proceeding,
so
the
hearing
examiner
has
held
an
evidentiary
hearing
recommended
approval,
with
one
condition
and
at
the
council's
May
8th
meeting
that
Amy
tarse
one
of
the
city's
land
use
planners,
provided
you
with
an
overview
of
the
project,
and
it
is
now
before
you
for
a
final
decision
tonight.
It's
a
closed
record
proceeding
and
you
must
make
your
decision
based
upon
the
record
before
the
hearing
examiner
the
criteria
that
the
council
must
use
in
making
Theory
Zone
decision
are
on
the
PowerPoint
slide
in
front
of
you.
X
They
come
out
of
our
land
use
code.
So
these
are
the
five
criteria
that
you
must
use
in
making
your
decision
on
the
rezone
application.
Your
alternatives
are
to
either
approve
the
application,
as
recommended
approve
it
with
modifications.
You
can
remand
it
to
the
hearing
examiner
for
an
additional
hearing,
limited
to
some
specific
issues
identified
by
the
council
or
you
can
deny
it
and
the
ordinance
proposed
before
you
tonight.
67
40
is
there
in
the
event
that
you
are
prepared
to
approve
the
application
tonight
so
mayor
or
Deputy
Mayor.
X
Excuse
me
before
I
turn
this
over
to
you.
I
would
recommend
that
the
council
disclose
any
ex
parte
context
that
they
may
have
had,
because
this
is
a
quasi-judicial
proceeding
and,
as
usual,
the
council
staff
has
already
looked
at
your
own
Council
emails.
So
you
would
only
need
to
disclose
any
contacts
that
you
may
have
had
outside
of
your
Council
email
box.
A
Would
any
council
members
like
to
declare
any
ex
parte
Communications
on
this
okay,
seeing
none
mayor
Robinson,
none
as
well?
Okay,
great!
Thank
you!
Well,
since
this
has
been
before
us
already,
why
don't
we
do
a
motion?
Second,
and
then
we
can
open
it
up
to
any
discussion
or
questions
if
there
are
any
councilman
Robertson.
A
All
right
are
there
any
questions
or
comments,
okay,
saying
none,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
and
that
passes
so
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
and
final
item
this
evening,
ordinance,
6741
city
manager,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you
again.
Thank.
V
You
mayor
Deputy,
Mayor
and
council
members.
This.
N
V
Proposed
ordinance
establishes
the
utilization
requirements
just
by
way
of
background.
This
topic
was
last
before
the
Council
on
April
17th.
At
that
time,
staff
provided
council
with
the
results
of
additional
Outreach
performed,
and
what
was
also
discussed
was
that
The
Apprentice
utilization
requirements
were
being
discussed
during
the
2023
legislative
session
in
the
form
of
house
bill
1050..
As
a
result,
Council
Direction
directed
staff
to
return
after
the
governor's
decision
on
health,
Bill
1050,
with
an
ordinance
establishing
Apprentice
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements
without
enforcement
for
certain
Public
Works
projects.
So.
V
Presentation
staff
are
seeking
council's
adoption,
and
consideration
of
the
proposed
ordinance
joining
us
this
evening
is
Kathy
girl.
Our
City
attorney
to
her
left
is
Karen
Foo
assistant,
City
Attorney
at
the
city,
attorney's
office
and
I
know
what
the
background
is:
Ira,
mcdan
who's
also
our
assistant
director
for
finance
asset
Finance,
Asset,
Management,
Department
that'll
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
you.
Kathy.
X
X
We
knew
what
House
Bill
1050
was
going
to
look
like
and
incorporate
those
Provisions
into
an
ordinance
minus
the
enforcement
Provisions
that
are
in
state
law,
which
is
financial
incentive
and
penalty
and
we'll
come
back
later
after
we've
gotten
some
guidance
on
that.
So
that's
what
we're
here
tonight
to
walk
through
with
you
and
with
that
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Karen.
AF
We're
back
before
you
today
for
action
on
a
proposed
ordinance
on
apprenticeship.
Adoption
of
this
ordinance
would
amend
the
city
code
to
establish
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements
for
certain
Public
Works
projects,
we'll
start
with
a
brief
background
for
a
quick
refresher
on
how
we
got
to
this
point,
move
on
to
discussing
the
proposed
ordinance
before
you
and
then
finally,
we'll
discuss
next
steps.
Moving
forward.
AF
Since
the
initial
apprenticeship
proposal
was
brought
forth
by
councilmember
Barksdale
last
year,
Council
has
addressed
this
topic
several
times
as
outlined
in
the
timeline
before
you
most
recently,
as
was
just
discussed
on
April
17th.
After
reviewing
additional
stakeholder
input,
you
directed
staff
to
come
back
with
an
ordinance
that
would
incorporate
the
changes
required
by
House
Bill
1050
after
it
was
signed
by
the
governor
and
to
remove
the
proposed
enforcement
mechanism
of
debarment.
AF
The
final
version
of
this
bill
has
an
initial
threshold
of
two
million
dollars.
This
will
step
down
to
1.5
million
in
2026
and
then
down
to
1
million
in
2028,
where
the
threshold
will
remain
as
an
enforcement
mechanism.
The
state
law
requires
that
Financial
incentives
and
penalties
be
included
in
contracts.
AF
The
proposed
ordinance
before
you
for
adoption
will
apply
to
Public
Works
contracts
advertised
for
bid
after
September
1st
2023..
This
is
a
delayed,
effective
date
which
will
allow
staff
and
the
contractor
Community
some
additional
time
to
prepare
the
threshold
for
the
15
apprenticeship
utilization
requirement
will
initially
be
two
million
dollars,
then
to
conform
with
House
Bill
1050.
The
threshold
will
drop
to
1.5
million
in
2026
and
1
million
in
2028.
AF
AF
The
ordinance
provides
that
the
Director
of
Finance
and
asset
management
will
be
responsible
for
administration,
monitoring
and
reporting
to
the
council
and
state,
and
these
responsibilities
will
include
working
on
remediation
efforts
with
contractors
who
are
not
on
track
to
comply.
In
addition,
administrative
policies
and
procedures
will
be
developed
to
support
contractor
compliance
and
to
provide
technical
assistance.
AF
AF
Second,
the
ordinance
which
allows
the
ordinance
includes
supplemental
waiver
criteria,
which
house
bill
1050,
allows
municipalities
to
adopt,
and
third
enforcement
with
financial
incentives
and
penalties
has
not
yet
been
included
in
the
ordinance,
but
will
be
proposed
for
adoption
at
a
later
date.
Once
upcoming
guidance
for
municipalities
on
compliance
is
made
available.
AF
Staff
will
engage
further
with
l
I
and
mrsc
on
available
guidance,
especially
with
respect
to
enforcement
provisions
and
before
House
Bill
1050
goes
into
effect
in
July
2024.
We
will
return
to
you
with
options
for
proposed
amendments
to
the
ordinance
to
implement
the
enforcement
mechanism
of
financial
incentives
and
penalties,
as
required
by
state
law.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
and
thanks
for
the
great
report
and
updating
and
and
where
we
are
now
that
the
state
has
moved
forward
with
their
bill
as
well.
This
is
just
exciting
to
be
at
this
point.
This
is
a
great
effort
on
on
all
of
our
parts
to
get
it
to
this
point,
but
certainly
appreciate
councilmember
bark
still
leading
the
charge
on
this,
but
as
well
as
I
think
notable
work
that
mayor
Robinson,
I.
A
Think
councilman
as
well
have
been
pushing
for
this
as
well,
and
I've
been
a
fan
of
this
since
since
day,
one
so
I'm
thrilled
that
we're
at
this
point
so
I'll
start
there
with
councilmer
Barksdale,
mayor
Robinson
and
then
council
members
on
and
then
whoever
one
sells
to
chime
in
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
do
it
at
that
point.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you,
council,
member
Barksdale.
Thank.
L
You
you're
welcome
and
also
thank
you
to
staff
for
all
of
the
work
to
put
into
it,
scan
in
the
room
in
Tennessee
for
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
helping
Usher
this
through
and
and
ensure
it
conforms
to
state
law
too,
and
we're
looking
at
you
too.
So
I,
don't
have
much
to
say.
I.
Think
I've
probably
said
everything
over
the
many
times
that
has.
R
L
But
I
also
do
want
to
thank
everybody
for
the
support
up
to
this
point
and
Deputy
Mayor
you're
called
out
mayor,
Robinson
and
council
members
on
and
yourself
for
also
taking
a
vested
interest
in
this
as
well.
So
with
that
I
look
forward
to
the
support
from
everybody
else.
All.
AB
F
Staff
and
councilman
Barksdale
for
pushing
ahead,
because
you
know
I
think
that
there
was.
These
were
things
that
we
talked
about
early
on
before
covid
and
you
know
we
got
overwhelmed
by
all
the
covid
type
of
activities,
and
so
it's
an
important
piece
to
move
forward
with
I
guess.
I
just
have
two
comments.
F
One
is
that,
as
we
look
at
the
technical
assistance
from
l,
I
and
mrsc
are
really
trying
to
create
some
consistency
amongst
the
public
owners
around
what
incentives
and
penalties
we
want
to
use
and
I
know
that
the
public
owners
that
meet
monthly
meant
last
Friday
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
find
out
what
I
don't
know
if
I
or
you
were
able
to
be
there.
But
they're.
F
The
public
agencies
meet
frequently
to
make
sure
that
we
try
to
align
around
how
we
adopt
different
policies,
and
so
I
would
just
encourage
the
city
of
Bellevue
to
to
join
that
group
and
figure
out
what
we're
all
doing,
because
in
my
day,
job
at
the
Port
of
Seattle.
We
we
will
also
be
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
right
incentive
and
penalties
are
for
our
apprenticeship
program
as
well,
and
then.
F
I
think
that'll
go
a
long
ways
towards
how
we
how
we
grow
this
part
and
then
I
also
understand
that
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
law,
the
grant
funding,
actually
has
components
where
we
can
actually
include
funding
for
Workforce
Development.
In
fact,
it's
one
of
the
questions
in
the
application,
so
I
would
just
encourage
us
to
have
this.
As
one
piece
of
the
whole
pie
and
and
look
holistically
at
the
other
parts
that
we
can
also
work
on
thanks.
A
Thank
you,
council
members
on
councilmember
Robertson.
AB
I
I
One
thing
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
is
different.
That
I'm,
really
glad
is
different,
is
that
the
small
business
veteran
and
wimby
use
women
minority
owned
businesses
under
the
house
bills
only
a
one-time
report,
but
we're
going
to
look
at
that
every
year
and
I
think
that
that's
really
good,
because
one
of
the
concerns
I
had
about
the
apprenticeship
program
was
that
it
could
potentially
have
the
impact
of
reducing
small
business
and
windy
and
Veteran
share
of
Contracting
and
looking
at
that
every
year,
I
think
will
be
really
helpful.
I
It's
state
law,
but
as
far
as
the
apprenticeship,
but
that
would
be
good
feedback
for
us,
as
well
as
good
feedback
for
the
legislature,
so
I'm
very
happy
to
have
this
move
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AC
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
I,
appreciate
what
council,
member
Robin's
Rob
Robertson
just
said.
You
know
I
think
we
need
to
pay
lots
of
attention
on
and
you
know,
wmbe
women,
minority,
business,
Enterprise,
Contracting
I
might
as
well
take
some
credit
for
this
I've
been
working
on
economic
development
Workforce.
AC
You
know
it's
important.
We
are
changing
our
economy,
technology
and
a
lot
of
jobs,
and
we
understand
why
our
jobs
are
going
overseas.
Now
we
want
to
bring
it
back,
and
so
it's
important
and
I've
been
working
on
wmb
Contracting
for
the
city
for
a
number
of
years,
because
I
believe
that
you
know
this
is
an
area
where
these
people
need
a
lot
of
help.
A
lot
of
your
head
up
and
I
know
the
challenges
they
face,
so
I'm
glad
that
Jeremy
timing
is
right.
That
he's
able
to
get
this
going.
U
U
We
couldn't
do
this
work
without
the
staff
and
and
the
encouragement
on
this
and
working
with
us
and
I
share
Deputy,
mayor's
enthusiasm
and
the
mayor's
enthusiasm
on
this
and
helping
get
this
pushed
through
and
councilmember
Barksdale
and
councilman
Zahn
working
on
this
and
I'm
I'm
just
glad
to
be
here
to
help
and
helping
make
it.
U
So
when
we
are
doing
that
and
I
wanted
to
report
that
in
talking
to
people
in
the
labor,
Community,
they're,
very
excited
and
very
complimentary
of
Bellevue
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
us
and
I
think
it's
a
big.
We
took
a
big
step
and
it's
it
has
a
lot
of
I.
Think
a
lot
of
payoffs
in
the
long
run
in
terms
of
what
we
get
done
with
the
subject
of
it,
but
also
just
in
working
together
with
people.
So
I
think
it's
one
of
the
things.
U
A
Thank
you
and
councilman
Brookstone.
Would
you
like
to
provide
the
motion
tonight.
Q
A
Opposed
no
opposed,
and
that
passes.
Congratulations
with
that.
We
are
at
the
end
of
our
meeting.
I
will
remind
our
viewers
and
those
in
the
audience
tonight
that
next
meeting
is
canceled
due
to
the
being
a
fifth
Monday
plus
a
Federal
holiday.

will
not
be

us

following
week.

much
foreign.
