A

A
D
E
Early
the
evening
of
May
31st
mayor
Robinson,
under
the
authority
granted
to
the
mayor
in
the
city
code,
issued
a
proclamation
of
civil
emergency,
declaring
that
a
civil
emergency
exists
within
the
city
of
Bellevue.
That
Proclamation
remains
in
effect
today,
and
so
during
the
existence
of
a
proclaimed
emergency.
The
mayor
has
the
authority
under
the
city
code
to
issue
emergency
orders
and
those
emergency
orders
must
be
presented
to
the
council
for
ratification
and
Confirmation
and,
if
they're
not
ratified
and
confirmed,
they
will
be
void.
E
So
what
is
before
the
council
today
r5
emergency
orders
that
have
been
issued
by
the
mayor
that
are
being
presented
for
ratification
and
confirmation.
Three
of
the
orders
are
curfew,
orders
and
two
of
them
relate
to
prohibited
items
and
I
will
take
up
the
three
curfew:
orders
first
and
then
pause
and
unless
Mary
you'd
like
to
do
it
differently.
After
I'll
talk
about
the
curfew,
orders
for
a
minute
and
pause.
Allow
the
council
to
discuss
and
vote
on
those
three
and
then
we'll
do
a
brief
staff
presentation
on
the
two
prohibited
item
or
orders.
A
Okay,
that
sounds
like
a
great
idea
and
when
you
are
done
presenting
on
the
curfew,
I'm
going
to
give
the
council
an
opportunity
to
comment
or
ask
questions
and
I'll
be
asking
an
order
of
councilmember
Barksdale
councilmember
Robertson
councilmember
Stokes
liaison
deputy
Barrett
new
in
house
and
then
me
so
go
ahead.
Kathy.
Thank
you.
E
Okay,
so,
just
to
briefly
summarize
resolution,
97
61
would
ratify
and
confirm
the
first
curfew
order,
which
imposed
the
curfew
from
5:30
p.m.
on
may
31st
to
5:30
a.m.
on
June
1st
resolution.
97
62
ratifies
the
second
curfew
order,
which
imposed
curfew
from
5:00
p.m.
to
5:00
a.m.
to
1st
to
5:00
a.m.
on
June,
2nd
and
then
resolution
97,
63
gratifies
and
confirms
the
third
curfew,
order
that
imposed
the
curfew
from
5
o'clock
p.m.
on
June
2nd
to
5:00
a.m.
on
June
3rd.
E
So
those
are
the
three
curfew
orders
they
apply
only
in
the
downtown
area
and
they
were
curfew
in
the
evening
hours
for
those
three
nights.
The
fourth
curfew
order
is
not
before
you
tonight
and
we
will
need
to
be
brought
back
at
a
future
meeting
for
present
presented
for
ratification
and
confirmation.
E
F
Right
Thank,
You,
mayor
Robinson
and
just
wanted
to
comment
that
I
appreciate
your
leadership
and
lifting
the
most
recent
curfew.
I
understood
why
we
put
it
in
place
at
the
time
when
there
was
the
losing
happening
and
so
forth.
I
do
just
want
to
say,
as
it
pertains
to
curfews
and
I'll,
be
brief.
You
know
I
think
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
applying
it
when
there's
an
obvious
need
a
credible
threat
that
is
in
that
is
happening
or
about
to
happen
and
be
cautious
about
over
extending
those
multiple
days.
F
The
thing
about
protests
is,
you
know,
there's
that
it's
a
public
dialog
right
now
and
I
think
we
want
to
be
play
an
active
role
in
that
public
dialog
in
our
community
and
as
we
continue
to
grow,
we're
going
to
have
to
continue
to
learn
how
to
adjust
to
these
events
in
the
making,
and
so
I
just
appreciate
that
we
are
supporting
in
show
solidarity
with
fighting
against
racial
and
social
and
economic
injustice
is
not
only
in
word,
but
also
in
deed,
sighs.
Thank
you.
G
Ratifying
the
her
first
I
also
am
pleased
that
we
lifted
the
other
one,
because
when
we
discovered
that
there
really
were
no
longer
credible
threats,
I
hate
to
put
these
curfews
in
place,
particularly
because
it
creates
a
lot
of
headache
and
hassle
for
the
people
who
live
downtown.
We
have
10,000
people
living
downtown
and
not
allowing
them
to
go
out
after
work.
To
pick
up,
groceries
or
whatnot
is
is
a
real
hardship
on
them.
G
On
the
other
hand,
if
we're
going
to
have
situations
where
we
have
a
large
criminal
element
coming
and
breaking
windows
and
throwing
things
at
our
law
enforcement
and
looting,
then
I
think
it's
sorry,
so
I've
been
supportive
of
using
them.
I
will
support
using
them
again.
If
we
need
to
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
certain
SPECT
in
using
them
when
needed,
because
they
really
do
create
a
burden
and
once
the
businesses
are
open
more,
it
will
create
a
burden
on
the
businesses,
because
then
they
would
not
be
able
to
have
any
customers.
A
H
You
know
thank
you
for
the
meeting
and
for
being
on
top
of
this
I
support.
The
two
comments
were
made
earlier:
I
am
I,
have
some
mixed
feelings
about
this
and
I
think
I
do
want
to
say
I
wish
that
there
had
been
communication
with
council
before
today
and
some
discussion
I
thought
we're
going
to
do
that
early,
because
there
are
differences
between
the
days
and
the
times
on
that
and
I.
H
We
need
to
talk
about,
or
this
happens
again
and
they
think
that
in
the
unfortunate
thing
they
the
riot
definition
legally
is
is
pretty
much.
Three
people
start
causing
trouble
and
that's
you
can
go
on
that.
So
again,
it's
just
a
bow
on
that
and
I
think
we
have
to
looking
at
it
in
terms
of
is
in
putting
curfew
in
place,
going
to
cause
more
problems
and
more
disconnect
and
more
disruption
in
the
area
of
the
curfew.
They're
not
and
obviously,
police
activity
can
occur
in
both
so
I.
H
Moving
forward
on
in
these
things,
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
better,
more
communication
with
Council,
and
so
we
kind
of
know
what's
going
on
and
and
kinda
keep
making
it
clear
that
this
is
a
council
action
and
also
kind
of
people
who
misunderstand
and
and
think
the
you
just
mentioned
the
mayor
in
terms
of
their
discomfort
or
unhappiness
about
a
curfew
being
put
in
place.
But
I'm
in
favor
of
the
vote
of
this.
I
You
can
hear
me
now,
thank
you,
but
this
is
something
new
to
most
of
us.
You
know
we
don't
have
this
kind
of
experience,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
have
some
conversation,
and
hopefully
it
doesn't
happen
again,
but
you
know
I,
don't
think
that's
possible.
Maybe
you
wish
you
were
thinking,
I,
think
the
question
that
was
asked
makes
sense.
I
You
know
what
are
the
consequences.
We
know
that
it's
recommended
to
us,
you
know
by
our
staff
by
police
chief,
and
so
obviously
we
don't
do
things
and
that's
a
reason
so
because
of
threat
from
you
know
whatever
that
may
be
one
of
three
calls
from
the
looters,
but
then,
but
by
doing
something
with
the
route
looters.
There
are
other
consequences
we
don't
know
of.
So
you
know
we
are
all
sort
of
making
decisions
short
of
having
information.
Oh
yeah,
lots
of
information,
so
the
process
is
that
we
are
recommended.
I
I'm
I
really
appreciate
the
mayor
willing
to
take
that
responsibility.
Say
we're
gonna.
Do
this
and
also
rectifying
counselor
it's
important,
but
the
situation,
unfortunately
it
so
we
do
it
afterwards.
So
I'm
not
I'm,
just
curious.
What
is
the
requirement
you
know
to
the
city
attorney?
Do
we
ratify
it
afterwards?
I
How
much
time
do
we
have
to
rectify
it,
or
should
we
not
always
wanna
make
decisions?
We
know
beforehand
have
some
discussion
and
then
we,
you
know,
authorize
the
mayor
to
make
the
you
know
public
decisions
or
announcements.
So
how
does
that
work
is
a
timeline
requirement
that
we
have
to
follow
or
meet.
I
E
The
code
is
structured
as
it
recognizes
that
there
isn't
always
time
you
know
for
the
entire
council
to
be
able
to
weigh
in
so
it
authorizes
the
mayor
in
situations
like
this
or
other
emergencies
like
last
year,
when
there
was
the
snowstorm
and
Myrcella
neck
had
to
had
to
take
in
some
emergency
actions.
It
authorizes
the
mayor
to
be
able
to
take
emergency
actions
quickly,
so
that
action
can
get
done
right
away,
but
then
what
the
code
requires
is
for
the
orders
that
that
any
mayor
issues
any
emergency
orders
under
their
emergency
powers.
I
E
I
So
the
vagueness
is
the
earliest
practicable,
that's
challenging
anyway.
So
that's
the
process,
understood
and
I
understand
doing
emergency.
You
have
to
act,
so
it's
all
good.
That's
the
reason
why
perhaps
you
know
we
need
to
communicate
as
much
as
we
can
do
the
best
we
can
to
get
information
to
all
affect
the
people,
starting
with
the
console
and
then
starting
with
the
public
that
may
be
affected.
I
The
people
who
may
be
you
know
in
threat,
business
folks
that
may
be
affected
residents
that
may
be
affected
and
people
in
general,
the
community
that
might
be
wondering
you
know
what's
happening
so
I
think
these
are
the
things
we
need
to
consider
to
do
the
best
we
can
and
then
to
be
able
to
explain,
communicate
to
the
public
so
that
you
know
we
have
an
understanding.
We
don't
need
to
be
guessing.
Why
are
we
doing
certain
things
and
that's
the
thing
we
are
facing
now
is
people
are
asking
us.
You
know
variously.
I
Why
we're
doing
this
if
questions
involved
so
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
doing
this,
and
this
is
probably
the
opportunity
for
us
to
explain
but
I
think
we
probably
should
have
explained
that
sooner
rather
than
later.
So
with
the
situation
is
we
have
to
rely
on
a
professional
and
professional
judgment
recommendation
made
to
us,
and
you
know
we
have
to
trust
the
people
that
we
rely
on
to
make
those
decisions,
but
obviously
there's
also
the
opportunity
for
us
to
have
discord
some
discussion
as
elected
officials,
and
you
know,
ultimately,
we
are
making
the
decisions.
I
The
official
responsibility
rests
with
us,
so
we
need
to
understand
that
have
a
conversation.
If
we
cannot
do
it
now,
we
need
to
do
it
in
the
future.
So
I
would
support
this,
but
you
know
I
think
we
all
share
I
hope
that
we
all
share
everything
that
everybody
has
been
saying.
Then
we
need
to
know
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
Yes,
Thank
You
mayor
for
your
leadership
in
establishing
the
curfew
in
the
emergency
and
then
now
lifting
the
extended
curfew.
You
know
I
agree
with
the
comments
made
earlier,
that
curfews
are
really
for
use
in
absolutely
emergencies.
I
appreciate
the
feedback
that
we
heard
from
the
community
about
their
concerns
regarding
curfews.
These
are
really
unprecedented
times
and
acknowledging
the
pain
in
our
community,
the
injustice
to
George
Floyd
and
many
many
others.
J
The
ability
for
protesters
to
be
able
to
stand
together
in
solidarity
against
injustice,
as
well
as
to
protect
the
businesses
and
the
residents
living
in
downtown.
Those
are
also
so
important
and
so
I
I
agree
that
we
should
lift
the
curfew
now
and
also
that
we
are
going
to
be
looking
at
these
daily
risk
assessments
and
responding
accordingly,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
all
want
justice.
We
all
want
our
civil
liberties.
J
We
acknowledge
that
our
black
communities
are
fighting
for
their
right
to
breathe,
to
be
treated
with
respect
and
dignity
and
fairness,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
tough
work
mayor
that
you've
had
to
make
in
terms
of
these
emergency
declarations,
and
we
stand
with
you
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
our
communities
safe,
that
our
protesters
have
the
ability
to
have
a
voice
in
communication
about
what's
happening
as
well
as
keeping
our
communities
and
businesses
as
safe
as
possible.
So
I
support
these.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
You
mayor
a
lot
of
good
comments
and
I
appreciate
everybody's
perspectives
on
this
and
Kathy.
Thank
you
for
that
overview
and
mayor
I,
too,
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
your
your
leadership
in
this.
You
know
very
unique
and
unprecedented
situation
in
in
in
Bellevue,
and
certainly
appreciate
the
swift
action
in
coordination
with
our
fine
men
and
women
of
our
Bellevue
police
depart
to
enact
a
curfew
when
it
was
necessary
on
Sunday
and
just
in
reflecting.
C
What's
happened
since
that
Sunday
and
I
think
councilmember
Stokes
said
it
is
a
balance
and
a
difficult
one
does
strike
perfectly
if
that's
even
possible,
as
we
continue
to
try
and
strike
that
balance
between,
obviously
respecting
the
first
men
rights
to
protest
and
as
well
as
protecting
our
resident
or
downtown
residents,
specifically
in
this
case,
as
well
as
the
businesses
etc.
So
you
know
I,
don't
know
if
there's
ever
a
perfect
situation
but
I'm
very
proud
of
the
way.
C
Senior
leadership
of
the
police
department,
as
well
as
the
the
city
and
also
mayor,
acted
so
quickly
to
to
do
what
was
right
and
I
also
am
very
much
in
favor
of
lifting
the
the.
Since
the
credible
threats
have
dissipated,
lifting
the
curfew
for
for
tonight
and
through
Saturday's,
the
right
thing
to
do
and
continue
to
do
the
right
thing
as
the
the
data
and
the
evidence
come
in,
certainly
where
we're
tracking
this,
and
certainly
watching
the
intelligence
as
it
comes
in
very
very
closely.
C
A
You,
deputy
Mary
new
in
house
I
appreciate
everybody's
comments
and
I
know.
This
has
been
a
really
difficult
and
challenging
time
for
all
of
us
and
frankly,
we
have
all
been
traumatized
by
what's
gone
on
in
our
city.
This
is
entirely
unexpected
that,
during
the
middle
of
a
kovat
crisis,
which
I
thought
had
already
dropped
us
to
our
knees,
we
were
taken
even
lower
by
the
looting
that
occurred
in
our
city.
A
You
know
it's
it's
so
important
that
we
safeguard
the
safety
of
our
residents
and
our
police
force
and
our
businesses
and
and
people
in
our
city
who
are
here
to
protest
peacefully
and
under
advisement
of
the
city
attorney
the
city,
man,
our
police
chief.
These
these
things
that
were
ratifying
these
resolutions
for
curfews
that
we're
ratifying
today
is
what
was
advised
to
be
in
the
best
interest
of
our
city.
C
A
E
You
so
the
remaining
two
resolutions
involve
the
two
emergency
orders
that
were
issued
by
the
mayor
establishing
prohibited
items.
So
the
Bellevue
City
Code
authorizes
the
mayor
again
during
a
proclaimed
emergency
to
issue,
orders
that
prohibit
the
carrying
of
instruments
that
are
capable
of
producing
bodily
harm
and
possess
with
the
intent
to
cause
harm
and
also
orders
that
are
imminently
necessary
for
the
protection
of
life
and
property
and
the
to
prohibited
items.
E
Orders
were
issued
under
that
authority,
so
these
orders
are
for
the
purpose
of
allowing
the
police
department
to
seize
or
confiscate
items
that
are
intended
to
be
used
to
cause
injury
to
people
or
to
property
before
a
crime
is
committed,
and
so
without
the
orders,
the
police
must
wait
until
a
crime
is
actually
committed.
So,
for
example,
someone
uses
something
to
actually
like
a
bat
or
something
to
break
a
window
before
the
police
can
seize
the
item
and
that's
absent
these
orders.
So
in
an
emergency.
What
that?
E
What
these
orders
do
is
allow
the
police
of
people
are
possessing
with
the
intent
to
do
harm
to
actually
seize
the
items
before
the
crime
is
actually
committed,
and
the
harm
is
is
occurs
so
resolution
97
64
would
ratify
and
confirm
the
first
of
these
two
orders,
which
was
in
effect
starting
at
10:15
p.m.
on
Sunday
May
31st,
and
stayed
in
effect
until
5:30
p.m.
the
next
day
on
June
1st,
at
which
time
it
was
superseded
by
a
second
order
establishing
a
prohibited
item
and
resolution.
E
90
765
would
ratify
and
confirm
that
second
order,
which
remains
in
effect
today,
and
this
order
applies
in
the
downtown
area
and
given
the
ongoing
threat
of
looting
and
property
damage
to
businesses.
It
also
applies
in
areas
that
are
zoned
for
commercial
or
office
use
in
the
rest
of
the
city
again
as
a
tool
for
the
police
to
protect
businesses
and
people
in
those
areas.
E
During
the
pendency
of
this
emergency,
the
order
prohibits
people
from
possessing
certain
items
in
public
places,
not
within
their
homes
or
their
businesses,
that
can
be
used
to
inflict
bodily
harm
or
damage
to
property.
If
the
police
determine
that
the
person
is
possessing
the
item
with
the
intent
to
cause
harm,
so,
for
example,
if
a
father
is
with
a
son
and
has
a
bat
and
is
going
to
the
park
to
hit
balls,
you
know
with
his
son,
batting
practice
with
his
son.
That
is
not
what
this
order
prohibits.
E
On
the
other
hand,
if
the
police
identify
someone
with
the
batter
and
other
item
in
circumstances
that
the
police
determined
that
they're
about
to
use
it,
you
know
to
break
into
a
building
and
cause
property
damage.
Then
the
order
would
allow
the
police,
in
that
circumstance,
to
step
in
and
confiscate
the
item
and
not
have
to
wait
until
they
break
into
the
building.
In
order
to
do
that
again,
the
order
only
applies
in
public
places
such
as
streets
and
sidewalks,
and
it
also
does
not
prohibit
the
lawful
possession
of
firearms.
E
It
prohibits
the
discharge
of
firearms
just
in
the
restricted
areas
except
consistent.
I
did
with
the
constitutional
right
to
defend
oneself
or
to
defend
someone
else
so
again,
resolution
nine
seven
six
four
would
ratify
and
confirmed
the
first
order.
That
was
in
effect
the
evening
of
May
31st
and
resolution
nine.
Seven
six
five
would
ratify
and
confirms
a
second
order
establishing
prohibited
items
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions.
E
A
G
You
I'm
supportive
of
ratifying
these
two
orders.
I
know
we
have
had
some
concerns
from
the
public
about
people's
ability
to
defend
themselves
on
their
own
property
and,
as
the
city
attorney
explained,
that
is
not
at
all
what
these
applied
to
they
applied
to
people
in
public
places,
so
it
didn't
keep
people
who
live
in
the
downtown
from
defending
their
homes
or
businesses
being
on
their
own
property,
defending
their
businesses,
so
I'm
supportive
of
this.
G
J
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
Kathy
for
providing
that
thorough
explanation,
because
I
think
that
there
was
some
confusion
about
what
this
ordinance
meant
and
the
more
that
we
explain
why
and
also
what
it
does
and
what
it
does
not
do.
I
think
it's
very
helpful
for
the
community
to
understand,
and
so
I
also
support
this.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
I'm,
really
glad
that
the
city
attorney
explained
in
much
detail
because
there
has
been
some
concern:
confusion
from
the
public
regarding,
of
course,
second
Amendment
rights
and
so
on,
and
what
they
you
know
are
being
asked
to
do
in
event
of
their
own
protection,
security
or
the
right
to
be
armed
and
but,
as
the
city
attorney
explained,
you
know,
I
think
something
that
please
definitely
especially
I
believe
the
City
of
Bellevue
police.
You
know
they're
well-trained
the
law
enforcement
and
they
will
use
the
discretion.
I
They
will
make
sure
that
it's
only
situation
where
it's
dangerous
and
where
you
have
potentially
cooking
caused
harm
to
other
people
and
so
I
think
it's
very
well
explained
and
I
think
people
would
hopefully
understand
that,
and
so.
For
that
reason
you
know,
I
would
think
that's
a
good
thing
that
was
supported.
Thank.
C
You
mayor
Kathy,
thanks
again
for
that
great
explanation,
as
my
colleagues
have
pointed
out.
Yes,
there
had
been
some
some
confusion
or
some
concern
about
about
about
this
resolution
again.
I
think
this
was
another
necessary
action
during
an
unprecedented
event
and
again,
you
know,
given
the
information
at
the
time.
Certainly
we
want
to
take
every
precaution
possible
to
protect
our
officers
and
protect
residents,
so
I'm
happy
to
vote
for
this
and
move
this
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
Well,
likewise,
it
would
be
helpful
in
the
future.
I
know
again
things
happen
real
quickly,
but
there
have
been
some
questions.
I
asked
them
and
I
think
it
would
have
been
helpful
to
have
an
explanation
right
after
the
ordinance
was
passed
to
council
member.
So
we
could
understand
why
and
really
appreciate
the
City
Attorney's
explanation
of
what
this
all
means.
So
that
would
help,
but
yeah
I
mean
this
is
something
we
had
to
do
and
I
think
it's
very
clear
and
I'm
supported
and
Red
Bull
Court.
A
So
I
just
want
to
thank
the
council
for
having
confidence
in
me
and
having
to
make
tough
decisions,
and
these
are
all
tough
decisions
to
restore
and
the
recommendations
from
the
city
attorney.
The
police,
chief
city
manager
don't
come
without
good
cause
and
reason
and
I
I'm
surprised
that
the
council
didn't
get
more
information,
I
thought
that
they
had,
of
course
being
in
the
thick
of
it.
All
I
only
knew
what
I
knew
so
I
think
that's
a
very
good
point.
A
One
thing
I
didn't
say
previously
is
I'm
very
gratified
to
know
that
peaceful
protests
have
continued
throughout
bellevue
in
areas
outside
of
the
downtown.
So
none
of
this
these
resolutions
have
stopped
any
peaceful
protests
at
all
throughout
bellevue.
So
with
that
deputy
mayor,
would
you
like
to
make
a
motion
to
pass
those
two?
It's
to
my.
