Okay,
I
was
going
to
have
council
member
stokes,
read
the
flag,
salute
or
leave
the
flag
salute,
but
I'll
go
ahead
and
do
it.
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag.
The
united.
D
A
E
A
Accepting
this
proclamation
tonight
we
have
mary
fradine
who's,
chair
of
the
bellevue
network
on
aging,
and
I
was
honored
to
serve
on
the
bellevue
network
on
aging
for
almost
seven
and
a
half
years,
and
so
that
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
they
do:
informing
the
city
on
so
many
important
decisions
that
we
have
to
make.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
lynn
robinson
mayor
of
the
city
of
bellevue
washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
city
council,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
may
2021
as
older
americans
month.
I
urge
every
residence
to
resident
to
recognize
older
adults
and
the
people
who
support
them
as
essential
contributors
to
our
community
and
accepting
that
is
mary
fradine.
And
I
know
we
have
dan
lasseter
on
on
this
call
as
well
and
dan.
A
A
Yeah,
chair
for
dean,
would
you
do
you
have
something
you'd
like
to
say.
G
G
G
The
theme
of
the
may
2021
older
americans
month
is
communities
of
strength.
As
we
pass
the
one
year
mark
of
the
covet
19
lockdown.
We
reflect
on
the
successes
and
ongoing
challenges
we
all
face
with
our
emphasis
being
on
our
older
population,
in
an
effort
to
help
create
communities
of
strength.
We
work
at
understanding
what
is
going
on
in
our
diverse
communities
and
we
want
to
be
involved.
The
bnoa
is
the
eyes
and
ears
of
local
and
regional
issues
that
affect
older
adults.
G
We
are
a
source
of
information
around
these
issues
and
we
present
recommendations
to
the
city
for
action.
Bellevue
has
become
a
city
with
a
very
diverse
population,
of
both
english
and
non-english
speaking
older
citizens.
Seniors
are
living
independently,
as
well
as
being
included
in
extended
family
situations
with
their
children
and
grandchildren.
G
It's
important
that
all
of
bellevue's,
older
citizens
are
aware
of
the
many
services
available
to
them
in
the
city,
with
the
order
from
governor
inslee
to
stay
home
stay
safe.
One
of
the
biggest
challenges
we've
faced
in
2020
has
been
how
to
get
important
information
out
to
older
adults
who
do
not
have
access
to
a
computer
or
simply
don't
use
them.
G
A
few
of
the
issues
bnoa
has
been
working
on
all
year
are
ways
to
keep
folks
informed
about
cobit,
19
transportation
options,
meals
on
wheels
and
food
delivery
for
those
not
willing
or
not
able
to
go
out.
Our
members
volunteer
to
serve
on
one
or
more
of
three
main
committees:
outreach
transportation
and
housing
and
advocacy.
G
Here's
what
we've
been
working
on
in
2020
continued
focus
on
community
outreach
and
vial
of
life
distribution
in
2020
and
2021
bnoa
members
wrote
and
posted
articles
of
interest
to
aging
adults
for
neighborhood
news,
for
example,
extra
help
for
seniors
for
paying
for
rx
medicare
advantage
open
enrollment
reflections
from
a
happy
soul,
student,
so
low
senior.
I
knew
it
was
going
to
mess
that
up
resource
ideas.
Example,
food
bank
transportation
and
internet
connections
work
to
expand
the
locations
in
the
bellevue
community
where
resource
information
helping
older
adults
could
be
distributed.
G
Bnoa
team
members
stayed
involved
with
east
side,
easy
rider,
collaborative
city
of
bellevue,
comprehensive
plan,
update
recommendations
and
reflected
older
adult
feedback
to
the
puget,
sound
regional
council
concerning
the
2022
regional
transportation
plan
and
coordinated
plan,
update
advocated
for
medicare
observation
status.
The
expansion
of
medicare
benefits
to
include
dental
vision
and
hearing
supported
the
need
for
adequate
funding
for
senior
services
via
the
older
americans
act
and
advocated
for
bellevue,
affordable
housing.
G
Our
goals
for
2021
on
this
individual
committee's
outreach,
a
main
goal
of
the
bnoa
in
2021,
is
to
have
bigger
presence
at
farmers,
markets,
libraries,
ymca
and
other
locations
when
seniors
can
once
again
gather
together,
continue
to
focus
on
community
outreach
and
vial
of
life.
Distribution,
support,
proclamations
that
assist
older
americans
in
our
communities,
including
older
americans,
month
and
world
elder
abuse,
awareness
day,
promote
presentations
to
eastside
community
groups
and
continue
writing
and
posting
neighborhood
news
articles
of
interest
and
importance
to
seniors
and
expand
locations
for
distribution
of
the
resource,
information,
housing
and
transportation.
G
Seniors
living
on
fixed
incomes
face
continued
challenges
to
aging
in
place.
Downsizing
requires
a
comparably
priced
place
to
move
into,
which
is
frequently
not
available.
We
need
more
affordable
housing
for
aging
adults
on
fixed
incomes.
The
adult
family,
home
and
assisted
living
facility
isn't
a
sustainable
model.
The
costs
are
out
of
reach
for
many
older
adults.
G
Moving
away
from
a
forever
home,
a
neighborhood
friends
and
family
is
frequently
the
only
choice,
income
constraints
and
seniors
have
as
we
age.
Many
of
us
will
give
up
driving,
convenient
and
accessible
transportation.
Alternatives
must
be
available
so
that
seniors
can
continue
to
participate
in
our
community
and
continue
to
conduct
their
daily
living
activities.
G
We
will
continue
to
work
to
identify
and
promote
awareness
of
transportation.
Options
continue
to
participate
in
conferences
and
projects
and
discussions
that
focus
on
housing
and
transportation
needs,
in
advocacy,
we'll
continue
to
advocate
legislative
priorities
to
introduce
and
support
bills
on
medicare
observation
status,
work
to
secure
adequate
funding
for
the
older
americans
act
advocate
for
expansion
of
medicare
benefits,
dental
vision
and
hearing
preserve
medicaid
benefits
and
restore
medicaid
coverage
for
hearing
aids
in
washington,
preserve
washington's
long-term
care
infrastructure
and
support
legislation
that
creates
affordable
housing
and
fully
funds
housing
trust
fund.
G
Our
senior
population
is
growing,
we're
living
longer
and
we're
an
important
part
of
the
city's
planning
and
growth
process.
Seniors
are
a
valuable
asset
by
virtue
of
their
historical
place
in
the
community,
their
commitment
to
the
city
and
their
willingness
to
participate
in
making
the
city-wide
changes
necessary
for
all
of
us
to
successfully
live
side
by
side.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Our
next
proclamation
is
for
asian
american
pacific
islander
heritage
month.
We
have
councilmember
lee
reading
that
one.
D
Thank
you
many
mayor,
whereas
more
than
24
million
americans
proudly
identified
themselves
to
be
of
asian
native
hawaiian
and
or
other
pacific
island
heritage,
and
whereas
asians
and
pacific
islanders
form
an
american
community
of
some
25
major
ethnic
groups
who
speak
over
15
different
languages
and
belong
to
a
wide
variety
of
religions
and
cultures,
and
whereas
approximately
36
percent
of
belgium's
population
is
comprised
of
asians
or
pacific
islanders,
one
of
the
highest
percentages
among
washington
cities
and
whereas
the
region's
asian-american
community
has
supported
efforts
to
slow
the
spread
of
covert
19
with
donations
of
personal
protective
equipment
and
food
for
essential
workers.
D
And
whereas
japanese
immigrants
played
a
key
role
in
belgium's
historical
place
as
a
agriculture
center
and
asian
and
pacific
island.
Americans
continue
to
enrich
our
region's
culture
through
excellence
in
technology,
the
arts
and
design,
and
whereas
asian
and
pacific
island.
American
entrepreneurs
strengthen
our
economy
and
our
communities
through
their
dedication
and
ingenuity.
Inspiring.
D
The
next
generation
of
american
innovation,
by
example
and
west
may
of
2021
marks
the
43rd
anniversary
of
the
annual
celebration
that
has
become
asian
pacific
american
heritage
month
and
therefore,
I,
on
behalf
of
mayor
lynn,
robinson
mayor
of
the
city
of
bellevue
washington
and
on
behalf
of
all
its
city
council,
to
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
may
2021
as
asian
pacific
american
heritage
month.
Involve
you
and
encourage
residents
to
celebrate
the
many
contributions
of
asians
and
pacific
islanders
to
our
community,
reflect
on
the
challenges
they
have
faced
in
our
past
support
them
against
hate.
A
H
Yes,
thank
you,
mayor,
I'd
be
happy
to,
whereas
americans
are
assisted
every
day
by
public
servants
at
the
federal
state,
county
and
city
levels
and
whereas
normally
doing
their
jobs
behind
the
scenes.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
moving
on
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda.
I.
A
B
J
Great
thank
you
good
evening,
mary
robinson
and
council
members.
I'm
sharon
ly
senior
director
of
development
with
the
cloudview
project.
Speaking
in
support
of
your
study
session
item
10b,
the
clubby
team
is
proud
to
be
collaborating
with
easthub
and
planning
this
multi-performance
playhouse
facility.
As
part
of
the
project's
proposed
vibrant
office,
residential
hotel
and
retail
mixes
project,
the
east
hub
place
playhouse
will
be
a
major
cultural
destination
in
the
east
side
and
will
activate
downtown
bellevue.
J
In
particular,
during
the
evening,
we
are
thrilled
to
be
working
to
make
this
significant
community
forward
investment,
which
is
estimated
around
44
million
dollars
by
constructing
a
pad
ready
space
for
the
development,
as
well
as
garage
parking
for
the
playhouse,
which
will
be
a
tremendous
spoon
to
the
arts
development
in
the
city,
as
well
as
to
the
community
as
a
whole.
We
look
forward
to
its
completion
and
we
are
in
full
support
of
east
hub's
presentation
tonight.
Thank
you.
B
K
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
robertson
and
council
members,
I'm
speaking
tonight
for
myself,
but
also
on
behalf
of
mr
kelly
o'neil,
who
I
talked
to
on
friday
and
due
to
health
issues,
he
was
unable
to
email
or
call
in
himself,
but
he
did
give
me
his
blessing
to
make
this
ask
and
it's
a
promise
that
he
asked
me
to
keep
when
I
became
the
community
club
president
in
2013.
K
tonight,
you're
being
asked
to
approve
the
park
board's
name
recommendation
for
newport
hills
soon
to
be
developed
park,
property,
I've
written
to
you
before,
and
I've
spoke
during
oral
communications
about
why
the
recommendation
is
the
wrong
choice
and
I
emailed
you
again
today.
I
understand
it
may
feel
uncomfortable
for
the
council
to
vote
against
the
park
board's
recommendation,
but
voting
no
isn't
an
invalidation
of
their
previous
work.
I've
seen
council
vote
no
on
planning
commission
recommendations,
so
it's
not
unheard
of
to
do
so
per
the
information
regarding
parcc
naming
protocol.
K
That's
in
your
agenda
memo
the
recommended
park
name
doesn't
check
any
of
the
boxes.
Mrs
ringdahl's
contributions
were
to
the
school
district,
hence
ringdale
middle
school.
She
lived
in
the
highland
northup
area
of
bellevue,
which
more
closely
identified
with
kirkland,
and
the
info
presented
tonight
as
a
background
check
is
the
same
stuff
that
I
pulled
up
with
a
google
search.
K
K
Cal
o'neil
could
have
made
more
money,
selling
that
property
to
a
housing
developer,
but
he
did
what
he
thought
his
dad
would
want,
which
was
give
the
neighborhood
that
he
loved
a
peaceful
place
to
gather
and
play.
Shannon
o'neil
was
a
legend
in
this
neighborhood.
There
are
many
people
still
living
here
who
knew
him
as
a
friend
or
worked
for
him
who'd
be
willing
to
speak
to
his
character,
and
that
is
a
much
more
comprehensive
background
check
than
what
was
done
for
mrs
ringdahl.
K
History
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
I
thank
you
for
your
consideration
of
that
and
oh,
I
have
39
seconds
left
and
I
also
wanted
to
say
I
see
that
you're
going
to
be
getting
an
update
from
parks
talking
about
different
acquisitions,
and
I
would
really
like
to
encourage
you
to
move
forward
on
the
off
leash
study,
the
recommendations
in
the
off
leash
study
and
look
for
additional
properties
around
the
city
to
build
off
leash
locations.
K
It's
going
to
get
very
crowded
at
the
newport
hills
park
once
it's
developed
that
off
leash
area
has
attracted
way
too
many
people
from
outside
the
neighborhood
and
we
desperately
need
it
around
the
city.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
B
A
Thank
you
so
the
next
we
are
on
to
reports
the
community
council,
boards
and
commissions,
and
we
have
a
presentation
by
the
parks
board.
Mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
this.
E
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
there
is
a
report
in
your
pact
today
on
behalf
of
the
park
board.
It
is
a
report
and
writing
and
there
is
no
presentation
on
the
part
of
the
park
where
they
see.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
then
we're
on
to
the
consent
calendar.
Do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent,
calendar.
F
A
Any
opposed,
okay,
we
have
three
study
session
items,
the
first
one
being
the
newport
hills,
neighborhood
part
name
selection.
So,
mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
that.
E
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
council
members
tonight.
As
you
mentioned,
staff
will
present
an
update
to
the
council
on
the
process
of
naming
the
new
park
located
in
the
newport
hills
neighborhood.
As
per
part
of
tonight's
presentation,
the
parkville
was
park
board
will
also
present
a
recommendation
on
the
park
name
to
council.
E
Once
the
presentation
is
completed,
staff
will
see
council's
direction
on
how
they'd
like
to
proceed
in
adopting
a
preferred
name
of
the
park
joining
us
this
evening
are
michael
shirazaki
is
the
director
of
the
parks
and
community
services
department,
along
with
pam
furman
planning
and
development
manager,
and
joining
us
this
evening
also
is
heather
truskas,
the
chair
of
the
apartment
community
services
board.
With
that
I
am
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
from
markle
to
begin.
The
presentation,
michael.
L
N
L
L
We
are
here
this
evening
seeking
city
council
direction
for
a
park
name
for
the
soon
to
be
built
park
in
the
newport
hills.
Neighborhood
next
slide,
please.
So
tonight
here's
kind
of
here's
the
game
plan
so
tonight,
pam
fairman,
will
share
a
brief
review
of
the
newport
hills
park,
naming
planning
and
naming
processes.
L
She
will
cover
the
city's
park,
naming
policy
and
then
also
share
the
community
name
preferences
and
then
heather
treskus.
The
chair
of
the
park
board
will
share
the
board's
considerations
and
their
recommended
name
for
the
park.
So
with
that
I
will
hand
this
off
to
pam
fairman.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
M
This
park
with
forested
trails
will
have
about
three
acres
of
developed
park
area
that
will
include
an
open
lawn
area,
playground,
loop
trails,
picnic,
shelter,
restroom
and
an
off-leash
dog
area
of
note
to
our
naming
discussions
tonight
and
highlighted
on
the
preferred
plan.
Are
the
adjacent
ringdoll
middle
school.
M
The
council
adopted
park
naming
policy
was
included
in
the
council
packet.
The
policy
sets
forth
sets
forth
procedures
for
naming
public
parks
and
recreation
facilities
and
underlines
the
council's
intent
that
naming
of
city
parks
be
approached
with
deliberation.
M
During
the
planning
process,
we
asked
the
community
to
suggest
names
for
the
new
park
staff
additionally
reached
out
to
local
historical
groups
to
help
research
and
inform
name
options
park
options
consistent
with
park.
Naming
policies
resulted
in
22
potential
park
names
to
help
narrow
options
and
understand
the
community's
preferences.
M
The
survey
and
city
websites
welcomed
participation
and
let
survey
participants
know
that
the
survey
was
not
a
vote
for
a
park.
Name,
however,
shared
that
the
park
board
and
city
council
would
like
to
understand
the
community's
preferences.
When
they
undertook
park
name
deliberations,
the
city's
park
naming
policy
was
also
posted
survey.
Respondents
were
asked
to
provide
their
top
three
name
preferences
and
for
their
contact
information.

O
Thank
you
pam
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
and
members
of
council.
O
I
I'm
here
to
officially
recommend
the
parks
community
services
board
passed
a
motion
to
officially
recommend
the
name
borghild
ringdahl
neighborhood
park
for
the
new
park,
that's
being
developed
in
newport
hills.
I
will
say
that
we
had
a
very
thoughtful
engaged,
robust
discussion
and
when
we
came
to
our
our
conclusion,
our
agreement
on
on
the
name
being
recommended
several
things
led
to
that,
I
would
say:
borg
killed,
ringdahl's
significance
as
a
female
historical
figure
and
the
contributions
that
she
made
to
bellevue
as
a
whole.
O
Of
course,
in
particular,
related
to
the
hot
lunch
program
in
the
school
district,
which
you
heard
about
with
schools
being
the
heart
of
a
community,
it's
certainly
a
contribution
to
to
bellevue
as
a
whole
and
not
just
specific
to
a
school
district.
O
O
We
talked
about
the
fact
that
ring
doll
was
the
neighborhood's.
Second
name:
preference:
you
saw
the
the
I
don't
want
to
say
the
the
rankings
but
sort
of
how
the
community
rated
their
preferences
and
and
ringdahl
was
certainly
at
the
top
of
the
list
close
to
the
top
of
the
list.
O
We
also
felt
that
the,
although
often
parks
within
neighborhoods
have
a
name
specifically
tied
to
the
neighborhood.
O
There
are,
as
you
saw
already,
two
other
newport
hills
related
park
named
parks,
and
so
we
felt
that
it
was
something
we
didn't
want
to
duplicate,
or
in
this
case
it
would
be
triplicate
by
having
another
new
port
hills
something
park,
and
we
felt,
as
I
mentioned,
that
ring
doll
has
become
associated
a
name
associated
with
that
area
of
the
neighborhood,
and
so
these
are
those
were
the
the
top.
The
primary
reasons
for
how
we
came
to
the
the
conclusion.
O
As
I
said,
every
parks
board
member
was
extremely
engaged
in
the
conversation
and
the
discussion,
and
I
was
impressed
at
how
thoughtful
of
a
process
it
was.
So
thank
you
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
M
So
well,
we
are
here
seeking
council
direction
to
return
with
the
resolution
adopting
the
council's
preferred
park
name
or
if
you
would
provide
alternative
direction
to
staff
all.
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much
so
council
members
on
you're
the
liaison
the
council
liaison
to
the
parks
board.
I'm
going
to
let
you
start
the
discussion
tonight.
H
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
would
say
that
tr
truskis
did
a
good
job
of
summarizing.
What
happened
at
the
parks
board
meeting.
It
was
a
lengthy
discussion
and
deliberation
talking
about
the
different
names
and
what
would
be
a
significant
name
for
this
particular
area,
and
we
also
talked
at
length
about
adding
the
the
top
one
from
the
survey
which
was
newport
hills,
neighborhood
park
and
whether
having
that
name
with
the
neighborhood
was
enough
of
a
differentiator.
As
the
chair
said,
there
were
already
two
other
names
that
were
called
newport
hills.
H
H
So
I
do
think
that
that
discussion
led
to
the
top
choice
from
the
survey
being
removed
and
then
the
significant
part
of
the
time
then
was
talking
about
ringdoll
park
and
whether
there
was
any
negative
associations
with
the
names
so
doing
some
research
to
ensure
that
we
were
naming
a
park
for
a
person
that
did
not
have
some
negative
history
that
might
be
associated
with
that.
So
I
know
that
staff
did
that
work
and
then
we
voted
on
the
name.
H
So
we
did
have
some
discussion
about
what
proportion
of
the
survey
was
from
the
neighborhood
or
potentially
the
broader
area
and
staff
mentioned
that
not
all
of
the
surveys.
People
filled
in
their
names
or
their
addresses.
So
there
it
would
be
a
proportion
of
those
votes
that
we
don't
have
any
information
to
identify
one
way
or
the
other,
whether
they
were
bellevue
residents
or
not.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
we're
going
to
go
with
councilmember
robertson,
stokes,
lee
barksdale,
deputy
mayor
noonhouse
and
then
myself
so
councilmember
robertson.
You
used
to
be
liaison
to
the
park
sport
as
well.
P
P
I
am
not
super
fond,
however,
of
naming
a
park
after
a
person,
particularly
well.
The
bovee
park
rename
just
brings
to
mind
why
I
think
it
is
not
a
good
idea
to
name
things
after
a
person,
so
I'm
not
really
in
favor
of
naming
it
ringdale
park.
I
would
be
in
favor
of
you
know:
newport
woods,
newport
meadows,
I
mean
shannon's.
Glenn
is
a
first
name,
I'm
not,
but
that's
named
after
a
person
as
well.
P
So,
but
if
the
council
feels
strongly
naming
it
ring
doll,
I
think
it
can
be
confusing
because
it's
next
to
a
school
and
that
school
used
to
be
eastside,
catholic
and
then
was
named
ringdoll,
and
I
think
that
school
is
going
to
be
closed.
Eventually,
when
bellevue
school
district
finishes
their
their
updating,
all
the
schools,
so
I
think
it
could
be
confusing
as
to
who
owns
it.
P
I'm
just
not
really
in
favor
of
that
and
it's
totally
within
the
council's
wheelhouse,
to
name
it's
it's
our
it's
our
prerogative
to
name
things
whatever
we
want.
So
I'd
like
to
hear
from
my
colleagues,
I
guess,
but
I'm
not
very
much
in
favor
of
naming
it
ring
doll
thanks.
A
F
Well,
I
I
have
similar
feelings
about
this.
I
think
it's
difficult
and
it
just
seems
like
that
was
an
easy
decision
and
you
heard
more.
The
name
was
there,
but
I
I
think
it
can
be
very
confusing
to
have
a
school
and
is
this
the
park
for
the
school
and-
and
I
also
agree
that
perhaps
naming
it
after
a
person
is
not
not
the
best
way
to
go
overall.
F
I'm
not
just
talking
about
this
one
so
and
naming
it
another
newport
is
something
else
it
didn't
seem
like.
There
was
a
lot
of
more
imaginative
thinking
in
terms
of
of
this
park
in
the
conversation-
and
this
is
a
big
decision
and
it'll
be
a
you
know,
final
decision
that
will
have
effects.
F
I
would
prefer
to
we
look
at
this
and
see
if
we
can't
come
up
with
something
that
has
a
little
more
some
pizzazz
to
it,
something
that
makes
it
really
more
identifiable
in
the
neighborhood,
and
I
I
appreciate
you
know
shannon's
glenn
and
the
the
emphasis
behind
that,
but
it
also
sets
a
to
a
certain
extent,
a
precedent
that
may
be
followed
in
other
places
and
makes
it
more
difficult
to
have
an
overall
open
look
at
how
we
name
parks.
F
So
I'm
I'm
not
in
favor
of
moving
tonight
on
ringdale
park.
D
O
O
Yes,
I
think,
to
be
honest,
I
think
it
was
a
lot
of
what
has
been
referenced
today
already
by
councilmember
robertson
and
councilmember
stokes.
As
I
said,
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
and
and
pros
and
cons
on
all
the
the
different
names
considered,
and
so
I
believe
the
primary.
I
can't
speak
specifically
for
that
individual
parks
board
member,
but
some
of
the
reasons
that
were
given
had
to
do
with
the
fact
that
the
school
there
was
already
a
school
named
after
mrs
ringdal,
okay.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
This
is
a
tough
choice.
You
know
it's
like
naming
your
child's
name,
yeah,
it's
a
parent
thing.
You
know
it's
very
subjective.
I
guess,
for
whatever
reason
you
just
mentioned,
so
it's
really
looking
for
a
compromise
of
some
sort.
That
fits
the
description
of
what
we
want
to
do
when
it's,
you
know
identifying
the
characteristic,
the
location
of
the
place
and
whatnot
and
in
general
yeah,
probably
true
people,
it's
challenging
difficult
because
there's
no
historical
context,
context,
but
it's
individuals.
D
D
We
have
lots
of
duplications,
so
newport
hills,
and
so
I
think
it
really
depends
on
the
people,
the
residents,
you
know
it's
again:
parents,
you
are
the
parents,
you
know
we
can
make
choices
decisions,
but
you
know
it's
going
to
live
with
you
and
you're
living
there.
You
know
what
it
means
to
you.
You
know
the
characteristics
and
we
so
far
we
haven't
identified
that
much
of
it.
D
You
know
so
we
have
to
depend
on
what
you've
gone
through,
and
so
it's
to
me
it's
not
fair
for
me
to
say
well,
this
is
a
fast
one,
but
my
subjective
comment.
You
know,
I
would
think
newport
newport
hills
has
an
identity,
identity.
Everybody
agrees
before
use
and
it
may
be
confusing,
but
I
think
we
can,
you
know,
do
something
to
make
it
less
confusing.
D
So
it's
a
big
chunk
of
people
supporting
it
and
then
ring,
though
you
know,
for
reasons
that's
being
articulated
and
I
think
the
commission
kind
of
talked
about
it
and
even
though
yes,
maybe
we
don't
want
to
make
a
practice,
but
it
does
happen,
some
historical
contest
and
it
me
it
meets
the
the
the
you
know,
the
the
I
wouldn't
say
rule,
but
at
least
the
thought
thoughts
of
identification,
somebody
that
can
recognize.
D
So
I
think
if
we
call
so
it's
a
compromise
of
some
sort,
so
my
suggestion
newport
hills
rainbow
park
that
might
be
you
have
a
total
of
18
plus
10
percent.
That's
28
to
me,
I
think,
that's
very
respectable
for
a
consensus
among
the
neighborhood
people.
So
if
you
can
live
with
it,
you
know,
that's
it.
If
you
cannot,
I
think
it's
up
to
the
people
who
live
in
newport
hills.
C
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
and
thanks
to
the
park
board
thanks
chair
trust
us.
So
I
think
I
think,
there's
enough
diversity
of
people
who
could
who
have
made
contributions
in
our
community
to
maybe
think
of
other
names
and
not
reuse
names.
C
C
I
think
that
helps
actually
with
location
right
because
it
says
where
the
park
is,
and
then
we
just
need
to
figure
out
what
the
qualifier
is
to
distinguish
this
park
from
other
parks
in
newport
hills.
That
being
said,
I
would
be
interested
in.
If
we
do
say
you
know
asked
to
have
to
come
back.
C
I
would
be
interested
in
maybe
whether
we
should
consider
the
names
more
holistically
across
the
three
parks
to
make
sure
that
the
names
are
distinct
enough
across
the
three
and
then,
if
we
name
it,
if
we
don't
name
it
after
a
person.
Today
I
mean
having
a
more
general
name
like
newport
hills,
neighborhood
park
or
whatever
does
allow
us
the
ability
to
name
it
after
someone
later
as
well.
I
Thank
you
mayor,
and
I
too
like
to
thank
chair
truskas,
and
the
entire
board
of
the
parks
and
community
services
board,
always
do
a
fantastic
job
and
appreciate
the
staff
work
on
done
on
this
as
well
yeah.
I
have
some
of
the
the
some
of
the
same
reservations.
That's
what's
been
echoed
here
as
as
as
well,
not
always
a
super
big
fan
of
naming
after
parks
or
or
anything
after
or
after
people.
I
Sometimes
that
can
be
problematic
or
at
the
time
you
don't
think
it
might
be,
but
then
later
on
it
can
be,
and
then
also
it's
it's
we
run
into
this
all
the
time
where
we're
not
exactly
sure
who
was
participating
and
it's
kind
of
an
ongoing
issue.
We,
you
know
some
people
registered
and
we
know
their
bellevue
residents,
but
others
did
not
there's
not
an
easy
solution
for
that.
I
Unfortunately,
but
but
on
the
other
hand,
I
believe
we
had
was
it
over
200
votes
in
in
in
total,
and
we
pushed
out
to
1200
people
is
that
is
that
correct
or
have
those
numbers
correct.
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
so
you
know
still
still
good.
Certainly
a
you
know,
decent
sized
response,
and
you
know
I
I
agree
with
the
comment
about
the
the
duplicate.
I
also
think
it
wouldn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
to
have
newport
hills
neighborhood
park,
because
there's
too
many
park
names
that
start
with
that.
I
However-
and
maybe
this
goes
into,
what
councilmember
stokes
is
saying-
maybe
getting
a
little
bit
more
creative
in
terms
of
like
you
know
the
glenn
at
newport
hills
or
the
meadows
at
newport
hills
or
putting
something
in
front
of
that
newport
hills
to
kind
of
differentiate
it
from
the
from
the
other
parks
are
called
newport
hills,
but
but
I
would
have
to
agree
that
I
would
like
to
see
this
go
back
to
the
to
the
park
sport.
I
think
there's
some
more
work
potentially
here
to
come
up
with
a
name.
I
That's
both
distinctive.
It's
not
gonna,
cause
any
confusion
again,
being
the
middle
school
being
named.
Ringdoll
as
well
also
leads
me
to
that
conclusion.
I'd
like
to
see
it
go
back
and
and
come
back
before
the
council.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
having
been
on
the
parks
board,
I
really
appreciate
the
the
park
board
members
work
on
this
and
I
remember
naming
a
park
and
having
it
go
to
council
and
having
a
change.
I
my
ego
took
a
little
hit
that
night.
So
I'm
sorry
that
we're
we're
talking
about
doing
that.
A
However,
the
thing
that's
interesting
to
me
is
you
know
there
are
certain
criteria
for
naming
a
park
and
one
of
them
is
that
people
will
be
able
to
know
where
it
is
given
the
name,
and
so
the
obvious
name
starts
with
newport
hills.
But
we
can't
do
that
because
we
already
have
two
parks.
That
start
with
that.
So
then
we
go
to
what's
another
place,
finder
name
and
ring
doll
middle
school
being
right
next
to
the
park.
I
guess
is
kind
of
an
obvious
choice,
although
it
could
have
been.
A
Is
it
what
is
that
milkshake
shop?
That's
been
there
forever.
We
could
have
named
that,
but
I
you
know,
there's
a
difference
between
a
neighborhood
park
and
a
regional
park
regional
parks.
They
don't
have
a
name
that
has
that
much
heart
with
the
neighborhood,
because
you're
trying
to
name
it
for
the
region,
but
this
is
a
neighborhood
park
and
I
really
think
that
it
needs
to
be
something
that
resonates
with
the
neighbors.
A
And
I
I
like
the
idea
of
it
being
a
glenn.
I
mean
that
is
what
it
is.
It's
just
beautiful.
Why
don't?
I
would
recommend
we
call
it
newport
glenn
neighborhood
park,
because
nobody
calls
anything
just
newport.
It's
either
newport
hills
or
you
know
not,
but
newport
glenn
distinguishes
it
from
the
other
newport
hills
parks.
A
A
So
I'm
gonna,
let
janice
start
we'll
go
around
again
and
I
think
the
decision
is
either
you
know.
We've
had
some
newport
hills,
ringdoll
park,
the
meadows
at
newport,
hills,
newport,
glen,
neighborhood
park.
A
H
Yeah
thank
you
mayor,
and
I
really
appreciate
my
colleagues
giving
feedback.
I'm
wondering
pam
if
you
can
put
up
the
slide
on
the
park
name
survey
results,
because
I
will
say
that
I
think
it's
really
helpful
for
the
parks
board
to
get
some
feedback
from
the
council
and
certainly
if,
in
the
end,
you
know
that
the
council.
H
We
want
to
look
at
changing
the
criteria
for
park
naming
so
you
know,
I
think
that
it's
very
helpful
if
we
believe
that
we
don't
want
to
be
using
historical
figure
names
take
to
take
that
out
of
the
criteria.
So
we
don't
have
both
the
community
members
as
well
as
the
parks
board.
H
That
shows
the
results
of
the
different
names,
because
I
do
think
that,
from
the
standpoint
of
I
just
want
to
point
out
to
my
colleagues
that
if
you
go
back
a
couple
of
more
slides
there,
there
was
one
that
had
the
survey
results
of
all
of
the
names
right
there
you'll
see
that
there
are
a
couple
of
choices
that
have
the
word
newport
in
there,
so
we
have
newport
woods
park,
newport
hilltop
park
and
then,
when
we
talked
about
some
creative
names,
I
might
point
out
that
one
of
the
names
that
was
recommended
was
lakehurst
creek
park,
because
this
park
is
actually
right.
H
Next
to
that
creek
and
we
did
in
the
parks
board,
also
have
some
conversation
about
some
some
other
names
like
the
chan
tian
park,
which
is
chinese
for
spring,
so
because
we
do
have
a
in
a
larger
asian
population
up
in
newport
hills.
So
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
names
that
there
was
some
discussion
about.
H
So
perhaps
I
I
would
recommend
that
for
the
council,
if
there
are
certain
names
that
you
would
not
want
the
parks
board
to
consider,
I
I
would
recommend
that
we
give
that
direction
to
them
so
that
they
can
more
narrowly
consider
these
names.
Or
if
you
find
that
these
are
not
names
that
you
would
be
able
to
support,
then
we
can
certainly
go
again,
but
these
were
names
that
came
from
the
survey
of
the
community
and
then
the
second
part
I
would
ask
staff.
Is
this?
H
Perhaps
one
way
since
this
is
a
neighborhood
park-
is
perhaps
similar
to
the
nep
that
this
is
one
where
we're
doing
the
outreach
to
the
community
that
lives
in
the
neighborhood
to
vote
for
the
park,
because
we
certainly
have
a
process.
We've
done
that
to
ensure
that
those
in
the
neighborhood
are
voting
for
the
names.
So
thank
you.
P
It
sounds
to
me
that
although
we
haven't
coalesced
around
a
single
name,
the
council
seems
to
be
supportive
of
having
something
with
the
name
newport
in
it,
but
not
repetitive:
newport
hills,
something
and
not
having
it
named
for
a
person.
So
my
preference
just
for
the
ease
of
park.
Sport
is
updating
the
park's
master
plan
and
finance
plan
this
year
would
be
just
for
the
council
to
just
pick
a
name
whether
we
do
it
tonight
or
we
think
about
it
and
bring
it
back.
But
I
would
support
the
glenn
at
newport
hills.
P
I
would
support
what
was
the
one
there.
You
said
it
was
newport
glen
neighborhood
park.
I
think
something
like
that
is
lovely,
but
it's
people
can
find
it.
It
has
the
word
newport
in
it
or
even
the
meadows
that
I
think
jared
said
or
deputy
mayor
said,
the
meadows
at
newport
hills.
That
would
be
fine
too.
Something
like
that,
I
think,
would
be
wonderful.
It
captures
this
beautiful,
open
space,
that's
wooded
and
meadows,
and
it
still
has
the
word
newport
in
it.
So
that's
my
recommendation.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
stokes,.
F
And
I
I
don't
know
I
mean
I'm
just
contemplating
whether
you
should
go
ahead
and
try
to
make
a
decision
tonight
or
you
know,
take
a
week
and
think
about
it,
and
I
do
agree
that
if
we
what
we
expressed,
I
think
a
clear
most
of
us
at
least
have
said
that
we
really
don't
want
to
name
it
after
individuals.
So
we
should
change
that
criteria
and
not
have
it
not
even
put
that
out
there,
because
that
that
confuses
things.
F
So
that's
you
know
things
change
and
that's
the
lesson
learned
I
mean
I'm
I'm
tempted
to
think
I
I
if
the
chinese
names
it's
it's
if
there's
some
way
to
have
a
little
more
identification,
but
I
mean
I,
I
don't
know
that
the
pronunciation
I
don't
know
how
that
would
go,
or
I
don't
think
we'd
like
to
think
about
that.
F
Maybe
there's
another
way,
we
could
look
at
it
and
I'd
like
to
look
at
the
a
little
more
at
the
make
up
of
the
community
and
whether
that
would
be
you
know
talk
about
that.
I
mean
this
is
a.
It
doesn't
sound
like
a
big
deal,
but
this
is
something
once
we
name
it.
F
It's
going
to
be
named
that
for
a
long
time,
so
we
have
to
be
careful
and
deliberate,
but
I
if,
if
their
desire
is
to
name
tonight,
I
would
I
think
newport
glenn
has
a
a
really
good
sound
to
it,
and
I
think
people
will
associate
with
newport
hills.
That's
or
you
could
call
newport
hills
clan,
but
I
think
having
the
glenn
and
then
people
say
they're,
going
to
the
glen
or
they're
going
to
the
park
or
they're
going
to
the
other
piece.
F
So
I
think
we're
I
think
we
can
come
to
resolution
on
that.
I
would
be
willing
to
do
it
tonight
or
you
know,
bring
it
back.
D
D
However
fun
you
want
to
do
it,
you
know
it
doesn't
matter
and
then,
if
you
want
to
create,
be
creative
put
something
else
into
it.
I
think
that's
fine.
You
know
because
we
talked
about
it,
you
know
it's
the
people
who
have
voted
and
somebody
suggested
maybe
like
nep,
you
know
it's
got.
People
take
a
vote
which,
in
a
way
they
already
did.
You
know
18
10
percent,
but
they're
voting
for
a
whole
bunch
of
things.
So
maybe
you
can
narrow
it
down.
You
might
have
a
better
way
better
idea
of
getting
it.
D
You
know
to
what
people
really
want,
but
whether
that's
the
satisfactory
way
or
not,
we
haven't
talked
about
it
and
maybe
it
isn't.
In
that
case
the
console
will
make
one.
So
I
I'm
pretty
easy
comfortable,
you
know
number
one
identifying
newport
hills
or
if
you
don't
want
to
use
the
world
hills
or
something
to
newport,
maybe
that's
enough
of
identification,
but
you
know
if
you
really
want
to
do
the
job
newport,
heals
something.
D
C
All
right
thanks,
so
I
could
I
could
get
with
newport
glenn.
The
reason
I
mentioned,
newport
hills
is
similar
to
what
councilmember
lee
said.
At
least
you
know
from
a
information
architecture
or
like
taxonomy
perspective
that
you're
in
the
right
vicinity.
If
you
have
newport
hills,
even
if
it
does
repeat,
but
I'm
fine
with
newport
glen
neighborhood
park,
maybe
it's
even
shorter
newport
deep
road
park,
but
I'll
leave
it
there.
A
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor.
I
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah,
I'm
fine
with
a
lot
of
the
different
options
that
we're
talking
about
right
now,
in
particular,
as
it
relates
to
the
glenn,
so
the
gland
at
newport
hills
or
newport,
glen
or
newport
hills
glen.
I
like
the
direction
of
that,
but
I'm
also
not
opposed
to
having
this
go
back
to
the
parks
board
as
well,
if
they
wanted
to
again
review
some
different
names
and
come
back
to
the
council
again.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
so
as
much
as
I
would
love
to
name
this
tonight,
I
I
I'd
like
council
members,
on's
recommendation
that
we
take
it
back
to
the
parks
board,
that
we
ask
that
it
be
a
local
process,
that
it
be
a
bellevue
resident
process
and
it
is
a
neighborhood
park
and
I
think
the
neighbors
in
newport
hills
pretty
much
know
where
this
is
so.
It
just
has
to
be
something
in
my
opinion
that
they're
going
to
recognize
and
love
and
embrace,
and
so
we
have
support
for
adding
the
word
glenn
in
there
somehow.
A
So
maybe
we
could
ask
if
the
park
sport
could
consider
instead
of
shannon's
glenn,
that
it
be
something
else.
Glenn
and
also
you
know,
make
that
like
number
23
recommendation
and
look
at
these
other
recommendations
again
or,
however,
you
think
mr
shiosaki.
A
It's
really
up
to
you
how
you
want
to
present
it
back
to
the
park
sport,
but
there
seems
to
be
a
consensus
to
go
back
out
for
more
of
a
local
opinion
on
this
and
we're
okay
with
newport,
maybe
not
newport
hills
and
would
like
to
incorporate
the
word
glenn
somewhere
and
see
what
else.
And
I
think,
there's
a
consensus
for
not
naming
it
after
a
person.
L
A
Great,
thank
you
heather
appreciate.
We
look
forward
to
hearing
back
from
you.
What's
your
timeline
michael,
do
you
think.
L
Well,
why
don't
I
get
that
figured
out
before
I
just
answer
that
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I
think
you
know,
I
think
it
can
be
a
pretty
rapid
process
I'll
hope.
But
let
me
let
me
do
a
little
bit
of
digging
before
I
before
I
respond.
So
thank
you.
A
R
R
Sorry
I
had
a
video
issue.
Thank
you,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
for
having
us
here
tonight
tonight.
The
bulk
of
the
conversation
is
going
to
be
conducted
by
east
hub,
but
jesse,
and
I
wanted
to
provide
just
a
little
context
for
how
this
e-sub
work
fits
within
some
broader
initiatives.
R
So
tonight
we're
going
to
estab
will
be
giving
the
bulk
of
the
presentation.
As
I
mentioned,
the
staff
considers
them
a
community
development
partner
and
no
direction
is
requested
at
this
time.
R
And,
as
I
mentioned,
that
we
we
see,
east
hub
is
fitting
in
with
within
the
city's
broader
initiatives
to
create
better
partnerships
out
in
the
community.
We
recognize
that
external
partners
is,
is
really
the
way
that
we
can
do
much
better
work
out
in
the
community
we
can.
R
We
are.
We
are
limited
by
what
we
can
do
and
without
our
partners
we
can't
realize
the
full
vision
for
definitely
the
arts
and
cultural
community.
R
Within
this,
the
broader
landscape
of
partnerships,
we
see
we
have
work,
that's
ongoing
with
many
organizations,
both
long
established
in
the
community
like
kids
quest
the
bellevue
arts
museum,
new
collaboratives,
like
the
eastside
culture
coalition
and
easthub,
as
well
as
connections
that
we
are
making
with
corporate
entities
as
well,
and
so
it's
just
important
context
for
their
presentation
to
understand
that
this
work
really
aligns
with
a
lot
of
the
components
of
the
economic
development
plan
and
initiatives
that
we
have
here.
R
In
arts
and
culture,
I
will
point
out
before
we
get
into
it
with
this
staff
are
working
with
east
hub
on
a
couple
items
for
a
partnership.
One
is
a
arts
community
calendar
that
the
arts,
organization,
arts
and
culture
organizations
have
long
asked
for,
but
staff
has
not
been
able
to
build
or
maintain.
So
that's
a
great
example
of
how
these
types
of
partnerships
can
actually
create
these
long
needed
things,
and
then
we're
also
talking
with
easthub
about
ways
to
expand
bell,
weather
and
also
awareness
of
bellwether
as
a
signature
destination
event.
T
Good,
yes,
hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
ray
cullum,
I'm
the
ceo
of
easthub.
You
see,
there
are
our
our
motto.
Our
tagline
culture
creates
community.
T
That's
really
as
as
close
as
we
can
come
to
summing
up
our
perspective
and
our
our
mission
for
what
it
is
that
we're
doing
and
why
we
do
it,
because
I'm
an
old
theater
producer
I
like
to
do
things
with
big
casts.
So
we
have
a
few
presenters
tonight
who
are
going
to
help
me
out
next
slide.
Please,
scott.
T
So
me
ray
column,
the
ceo
of
east
hub
sudeshna
dixit,
who
is
our
director
of
cultural
connections,
we'll
be
taking
a
piece
michael
bobbitt,
who
is
our
relational
equity
edi
consultant?
But
first
I'd
like
to
introduce
our
board
chair,
elka
suber
who's,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
foundation
of
easthub
and
a
little
bit
about
our
mission
in
the
community,
and
if
we
could
have
the
next
slide,
please
scott.
U
U
As
you
know,
east
hub
is
a
new
501,
c3
community
development,
non-profit
that
was
just
established
this
past
year
in
2020.
The
opportunity
that
we
see
for
east
hub
is
to
capitalize
on
ongoing
infrastructure
and
development,
to
create
a
cultural
heart
and
soul
for
bellevue,
transforming
bellevue
into
an
amazing
world-class
destination
for
arts
and
culture.
We
believe
bellevue
will
lead
the
way
to
make
the
east
side
a
creative,
thriving
place
to
live
and
work.
U
As
you
may
know,
seed
funding
from
microsoft
enabled
us
to
do
a
proof
of
concept.
Now
we
are
bringing
it
to
the
community
to
see
what
the
community
would
like
us
to
continue
to
build.
As
for
me,
I've
chosen
to
serve
on
east
hub's
board
of
directors,
because
one
it's
personal
for
me.
I
live
and
work
here.
My
children
went
to
school
in
this
community
and
I
want
the
best
for
this
community.
T
So
what
east
hub
is
all
about
is
is
place,
making,
there's
a
lot
of
definitions
for
place,
making
I
like
to
think
about
it
as
a
collaborative
process
by
which
we
cooperate
to
shape
our
community
and
to
emphasize
all
of
the
wonderful
cultures
that
are
here
and
and
bring
them
together
across
platforms.
We're
often
asked
these
four
questions
you
see
in
front
of
us
I'd
just
like
to
address
them
real
quick.
What
are
the
conditions
we're
responding
to
condition?
T
One
is
the
incredible
growth
of
the
very
diverse
communities
in
bellevue
that
are
the
energy
that
are
providing
kind
of
the
fuel
for
the
growth
number
two
is:
is
the
lack
or
loss
of
some
existing
cultural
infrastructure
spaces
that,
as
the
east
side
has
developed,
we've
either
they've
sort
of
been
subsumed
by
the
development
or
are
left
behind?
T
Why
now
is
because
there
there's
this
rather
urgent
window
of
opportunity
to
take
advantage
of
the
this
incredible
wave
of
development
is
happening,
the
time
to
make
sure
that
we
include
a
cultural
heart
and
soul,
and
what
we're
doing
is
now
because
it's
very
hard
to
go
back
in
once
the
wave
of
development
has
crested
and
receded
and
try
to
reverse
engineer
in
cultural
infrastructure
and
number
four.
Why
east
hub
is
the
is
the
right
organization
to
do
this?
T
I
would
say:
there's
a
few
reasons
we
have
on
our
staff
and
our
board
some
really
key
expertise
that
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit.
T
We
have
a
vision
that
we
think
takes
in
all
of
the
community,
not
just
where
it
is,
but
where
it
needs
to
go
in
order
to
have
this
art
and
culture
soul,
and
we
also
think
that,
because
we
are
not
an
arts
organization
ourselves,
we
don't
have
an
agenda
in
terms
of
arts
and
culture
other
than
supporting
it
and
creating
spaces
and
creating
access
that
we
are
a
good
honest
broker
to
act
between
all
of
the
different
constituencies
that
need
to
be
engaged
in
order
to
make
this
happen
next
line,
please
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
this
group
about
the
that
there's
more
reasons
to
pursue
an
art
and
culture
infrastructure
like
this
than
just
because
it's
good
for
our
heart
and
soul.
T
There's
really
tangible
proof
of
the
economic
benefits
of
an
arts
and
culture
infrastructure
ecosystem
embedded
into
your
community.
I
do
want
to
point
out:
there's
there's
local
numbers.
We
can
point
to
there's
statewide
numbers,
but
nationally.
T
A
lot
of
people
don't
quite
understand
that
arts
and
culture
does
represent
a
very
huge
part
of
this
substantial
part
of
the
national
gdp
and
and
although
it
varies
from
place
to
place
basically
for
every
dollar
invested
or
spent
in
arts
and
culture,
there's
a
nine
dollar
return
to
the
community
to
the
economy,
and
that's
actually
a
bit
of
an
old
figure.
T
We
think
it's
a
little
bit
higher
now
next
slide,
please
we
were
founded
to
think
about
a
new
way
to
develop
arts
and
culture
infrastructure,
and
one
of
the
challenges
we've
also
taken
on
is
how
we
develop
arts
and
culture
not
for
profits
in
in
a
new
way,
how
we
build
these
organizations
from
the
ground
up
to
help
us
out
with
that.
We
have
the
great
good
fortune
to
be
working
with
one
of
the
top
voices
in
in
edi
and
anti-racism
right.
T
Now,
a
gentleman
named
michael
j
bobbitt
who's
going
to
talk
to
you
in
just
a
minute.
Michael,
I
macon
blush
was
just
chosen
to
be
the
director.
I'm
sorry,
ceo
of
the
massachusetts
cultural
council,
which
means
he's
the
highest
ranking
arts
and
culture
officer
in
the
whole
state
of
massachusetts.
T
He
spends
his
days
speaking
to
groups
of
politicians,
so
I
figured
we'd.
Have
him
spend
his
nights
doing
that
as
well?
So
michael,
if
you
would
take
it
from
here,
thank.
V
You
so
much
ray
good
to
see
you.
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
and
council
members.
I
am
zooming
in
from
cambridge
massachusetts
right
now,
where
it
is
very
close
to
bedtime,
so
I'll
speak
very
briefly,
but
I'm
really
thrilled
to
be
here.
V
As
ray
mentioned,
I
run
the
state
arts
agency
that
provides
funding
to,
and
services
to,
arts
and
culture
and
humanities
and
science
organizations
in
the
whole
state,
funded
primarily
by
budget
appropriations
from
the
state
legislation
and
really
all
day
and
every
day.
I
am
working
hard
to
support
and
in
many
ways
save
a
whole
sector
from
some
of
the
crises
that
we
are
experiencing
now
covet
and
the
country's
racial
equity
ratio.
V
What's
so
great
about
what
east
hub
is
proposing
is
that
we
are
taking
advantage
of
this
terrific
opportunity
that
you
have
in
your
city
but
the,
but
the
idea
is
incorporating
it
and
considering
anti-racism
and
also
the
strained
business
model
that
nonprofits
exist
on
and
redesigning
it.
V
I
think
ray
and
easthub
have
some
really
pioneering
ideas
that
are
entrepreneurial
and
innovative
and
involves
the
racially
diverse
community
that
exists
in
bellevue,
which
seems
to
be
part
of
what
makes
bellevue
bellevue
and
the
truth
is.
Many
of
us
can
point
to
the
arts
and
culture
organizations
that
we
know
and
how
many
of
them
are
actually
surviving.
Most
of
them
are
probably
struggling,
and
I
think
this
is
inherent
in
their
business
practices.
V
Businesses
in
the
arts
and
creativity
sector
are
predominantly
white
because
they
were
designed
to
be
that
way.
They
were
designed
by
white
people
for
white
people,
it's
the
basis
of
their
business
model
and,
most
of
the
time
organizations
try
to
fix
the
diversity
problem
with
programs
and
policy
shifts
like
discount
tickets
and
outreach
programs
and
those
things
don't
work.
V
So
it's
a
very
exciting
project
and
I
hope
that
once
we
iron
out
the
kinks,
we
can
bring
it
over
to
massachusetts
and
hopefully
we'll
we'll
do
that
someday.
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
this
presentation
over
to
our
director
of
cultural
connections,
sedashana
dixon.
S
Thank
you,
michael
hello,
everyone
and
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
speak.
I
am
the
director
of
cultural
connections
at
east
hub,
I
joined
in
february
and
I'm
absolutely
loving
my
job
because,
firstly,
I
find
it
extremely
meaningful
because
it
combines
my
passion
for
arts
and
technology
and
user
experience
with
a
lot
of
other
work,
I'm
doing
in
the
nonprofit
world,
and
I
get
to
talk
to
some
really
amazing
people,
which
is
that's
I'm.
I
can't
believe
that
that's
my
job.
S
S
But
basically,
what
we're
going
to
do
is
hire
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
from
within
the
east
side,
communities
who
will
do
some
extensive
outreach
with
arts
and
culture
organizations,
residents,
faith-based
organizations,
businesses,
schools
and
any
other
other
organizations
that
will
help
us
understand
the
cultural
landscape
of
the
east
side
and
our
aim
is
to
be
build
really
deep,
authentic
relationships
and
partnerships
with
our
residents
and
stakeholders
and
external
influencers
and
ultimately
understand
gaps
and
overlaps
and
the
immediate
needs
and
wants
of
the
community
and
which
would
ultimately
lead
to
revealing
opportunities
and
activating
diversity
to
build
inclusion
and
accessible
places
that
people
will
actually
use.
S
T
Thank
you,
sudesha.
Can
I
get
the
next
slide,
please
yeah.
So,
as
sudishna
mentioned,
community
is
where
we
start
and
where
we
end
this
graphic's
a
little
long
wrong.
It
should
start
with
residents
and
then
with
residents,
but
our
goal
is
to
bring
together
these
five
different
constituencies
that
make
up
the
east
side,
the
businesses
and
community
leaders,
arts
and
cultural
organizations,
civic
leaders,
the
city,
governments
that
dot
the
east
side
developers
who
are
building
all
of
these
new
developments
and
residents.
T
T
With
that
information
we
go
and-
and
we
work
with
the
city-
and
I
have
to
just
call
out
jesse
and
scott
for
the
incredible
partners
and
receptive
audience-
they've
been
as
we
we've
talked
about
what
it
is
that
we're
trying
to
do
the
openness
to
consider
ways
to
do
it
to
incentivize
developers
to
to
include
cultural
spaces
as
the
heart
of
their
developments.
T
So
we
start
with
residents.
We
go
to
the
city.
We
move
on
to
developers
to
hopefully
get
them
to
make
some
space
available
to
us,
whether
it's
new
space
and
existing
a
new
space
in
existing
developments
or
existing
space
that
we
can
repurpose
into
cultural
spaces.
Once
we
have
the
space,
we
go
back
to
the
community
to
talk
about
with
this
space
in
this
location.
That's
this
size.
T
What's
the
best
usage
of
it
without
information,
we
go
to
the
fundraising
community
to
raise
the
money
to
build
and
outfit
these
spaces,
and
then
e-sub
operates
these
spaces
for
the
community
in
an
efficient
and
self-sustaining
way.
Next
slide,
please
scott
reference.
We
do
have
some
great
conversations
ongoing
with
the
city
of
bellevue
scott
mentioned
the
website
portal,
which
we're
very
excited
to
be
doing.
T
We
are
very
much
interested
in
the
cultural
corridor,
the
grand
connection,
creating
the
entire
city
of
bellevue
as
a
cultural
district.
I
had
a
great
chat
this
morning
with
my
friend
patrick
bannon,
from
the
bda
about
how
we
can
work
together
with
the
bda,
to
really
bring
that
culture
that
grand
connection
to
life
in
terms
of
cultural
experiences
along
the
way
we
see
lots
of
potential
opportunities
for
the
future
scott
referenced.
The
bellwether
arts
festival
that
we're
already
thinking
about
how
we
can
add
a
live
programmatic
performance
to
it.
T
We
can
get
the
word
out
about
it.
We
can
help
find
sponsorship
to
really
put
that
that
really
wonderful
festival
on
the
map
and
we're
talking
about
other
initiatives.
What
you
see
they're
a
central
administrative
hub
for
city-owned
facilities.
T
There
are
some
facilities,
cultural
cities,
that
the
city
has
already
that
that
we
have
some
great
ideas
about
how
to
activate
and
use
more
and
get
more
community
investment
in
and
we're
also
particularly
interested
in
the
bell
red
corridor
and
how
we
can
really
put
some
teeth
into
that
arts
and
culture
district,
both
in
terms
of
creating
cultural
space
and,
hopefully,
some
opportunities
for
affordable
housing.
As
we
go
next
slide.
T
Traditionally,
a
cultural
district
has
been
a
two
or
three
block
radius,
where
you
keep
all
the
culture.
My
our
vision
of
a
cultural
district
is
a
city-wide
activated
space
where
cultural
experiences
are
happening
all
the
time
where
there's
activation,
where
people
are
taking
in
arts
and
culture
messages,
without
even
knowing
that
they're
doing
so
we're
hoping
to
create
all
of
downtown
bellevue
as
a
cultural
district.
We
think
there's
benefits
to
this.
It
creates
communities
where
people
want
to
live
and
stay
and
not
just
work
and
go
home.
T
It
creates
connections
between
people
who
are
interacting
with
each
other
within
these
venues
outside
of
these
venues
in
restaurants,
before
and
after
the
venues-
and
it
also
creates
opportunities
for
these
kind
of
cross-cultural
conversations
and
exposures
that
we
would
love
to
see
happening
next
slide,
please,
you
probably
have
heard
our
first
big
projects
and
we
are
starting
with.
Probably
the
biggest
thing
we
will
ever
do.
Is
this
cloudview
playhouse.
T
This
comes
thanks
to
an
incredible
donation
by
mr
lawrence,
louis
of
stanford,
hotels,
corporation
who's,
building,
this
three
six
six
hundred
foot
tower
development
cloud
view
right
down:
110th
street.
We
really
see
110th
street
and
the
intersection
of
the
grand
connection
becoming
like
the
42nd
and
broadway
of
bellevue.
The
new
town
center
with
amazon
there
with
the
light
rail
there
with
city
hall
there
with
the
braver
in
there,
we
feel
like
the
cloud
view.
T
Playhouse
is
going
to
be
a
really
a
great
addition
to
what
we
see
as
a
great
major
thoroughfare
for
the
city.
T
Here's
a
quick
walkthrough
of
the
space-
I
don't
know
how
it's
showing
up
on
your
screens.
This
is
crossing
the
street
from
100
and
crossing
110th
street
into
the
lobby.
That
sort
of
white
mess
you
see
is
a
programmable
mesh
that
sort
of
takes
video
images
and
static
art
images.
We
hope
the
venue
itself
will
be
an
art
piece
moving
into
the
venue
you'll
see.
This
is
one
of
the
we
think
seven
or
eight
setups
of
the
venue.
T
This
one
is
for
live
music
with
a
dance
floor,
and
this
is
with
its
thousand-seat
capacity,
fully
realized,
there's
a
number
of
other
settings
which
we'll
go
through
in
just
a
minute.
We're
also
hoping
to
create
this
lovely
outdoor
area
for
performances
for
gatherings
braver's
across
the
street.
That's
110th
street,
where
those
cars
are
moving
down
towards
city
hall
and
that's
the
new
amazon
600
complex
right
behind
us
to
our
left
because
of
mr
louise
donation,
which
is
about
44
million
dollars
worth
of
value.
T
As
was
referenced
earlier,
the
venue's
gonna
be
a
great
deal
cheaper
to
build
and
realize
than
a
traditional
standalone
arts
facility
would
be
there's
things
that
are
being
built
for
the
whole
complex,
including
parking
and
infrastructure
and
connections
a
site
clearing.
All
that
work
is
is
being
wonderfully
donated
by
mr
louis
and
it's
just
our
job
to
build
and
realize
the
space
next
slide.
Please.
T
And,
as
I
said,
flexibility
is
the
key
to
this
space.
We
see
up
to
eight
different
setups
of
the
inside.
You
can
see
some
of
them
here
in
the
upper
left,
there's
a
more
of
a
theater
in
the
round
sort
of
setting
that's
about
350
capacity,
the
thousand-seat
capacity
just
to
the
right
of
that
for
live
music
events
for
galas
for
things
like
that
down
on
your
bottom
left
is
a
more
traditional,
theatrical
setup
for
spoken
word:
events
for
theater
for
musical
theater.
We
also
see
the
lobby
itself
as
a
wonderful
community
gathering
space.
T
I
I
do
not
think
theater
should
ever
be
locked.
I
think
they
should
be
open
all
day
long.
What
we're
aiming
to
create
is
a
community
center
in
the
truest
sense
of
the
word,
a
center
for
that
the
community
comes
to
and
gathers
this
very
expensive
lobby.
Space
we
see
is
a
wonderful
place
for
exhibition
of
all
different
sorts
of
things
and
experiences,
we're
hoping
that
people
just
come
and
hang
out
in
our
space.
We
would
like
nothing
more
than
to
be
embraced
by
the
community.
T
In
that
way,
flexibility
is
actually
the
key
to
everything
that
we
are
doing
next
slide.
Please
cloud
view
is
only
one
of
the
spaces
we're
looking
to
develop
and
we're
having
active
conversations
with
developers
in
bellevue
and
all
over
the
east
side,
with
the
goal
of
creating
rehearsal
rooms,
classrooms,
recital
halls,
black
box,
theaters
reception
and
community
spaces,
the
idea
being
that
downtown
bellevue
is
the
downtown
of
the
east
side.
T
We
we
like
very
much
the
idea
of
following
where
the
light
rail
is
because
we
feel
access
to
these
spaces
is
very
important
for
breaking
down
barriers
to
entry
and
we're
we're,
as
we
say,
we're
working
now
to
get
all
kinds
of
buy-in
both
from
the
community
groups
who
are
going
to
use
them
the
developers
who
are
hopefully
going
to
work
with
us
to
give
us
the
space.
T
T
Obviously
we're
going
to
be
building
the
spaces
using
a
traditional
capital
campaign,
although
it's
not
capital
focused
on
one
single
project,
it's
capital,
money
that
we're
raising
to
execute
projects
all
over
the
east
side.
So
not
any
one
single
thing
once
we're
open,
though
we
do
believe
that
we
can
be
self-sustaining.
T
We
have
there's
five
real
distinct
sources
of
revenue,
ticket
sales
for
what's
happening
inside
the
venues
sponsorships
of
the
venues
themselves:
government,
support
of
specific
programs
not
operating
support,
but
support
for
programs
that
the
city
of
bellevue
very
much
wants
to
have
that
inside
of
venues,
that
that
add
to
the
richness
and
diversity
of
offerings
in
the
community
program,
usage
and
rental
fees,
from
users
of
the
spaces
and,
of
course,
traditional
fundraising,
which
is
family
corporation
and
foundation,
giving
to
support
the
expenses
of
operating
the
whole
thing
next
slide.
T
Please
we
do
see
a
whole
bunch
of
different
groups
of
users
for
the
spaces.
We
arts
and
culture
groups
are
obviously
people
that
we're
having
ongoing
conversations
with.
We
had
a
lovely
chat,
the
other
day
with
the
bellevue
schools
who
see
themselves.
T
I
think,
as
a
great
user
of
these
spaces,
we
do
see
them
having
a
bit
of
a
commercial
use
for
corporate
events,
to
help
sort
of
the
bottom
line
of
how
these
places
are
run
but
done
under
very
strict
usage
guidance
guidance
in
terms
of
who
gets
priority
in
the
space
independent
educators,
teachers
who
want
to
run
dance
classes,
arts
classes,
theater
classes
in
these
spaces,
and
obviously
the
community
at
large
and
the
other
main
initiative
that
we
would
talk
about
after
the
spaces
is
east
hub,
offering
support
to
arts
and
culture
groups
in
bellevue
and
on
the
east
side,
and
by
support
I
mean
the
things
that
are
glamorous,
that
we
can
hopefully
take
off
the
hands
of
these
arts
and
cultural
organizations
to
allow
them
to
spend
a
good
deal
less
money
on
them
and
to
have
a
higher
level
of
work
done
and
to
allow
them
to
really
concentrate
their
efforts
on
their
mission
on
producing
their
art
and
on
engaging
their
communities.
T
So
those
services
would
be
back
office,
marketing,
accounting
database
management,
all
the
not
fun
stuff
that
arts
and
culture
groups
do
need
to
have
done
for
them.
But
aren't
the
focus
of
their
missions
and
with
that
next
slide,
thank
you
guys
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
Thank
you,
mayor,
robinson,
thank
you,
city
manager,
miaki.
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor
city
council,
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
listen
to
any
comments
you
have
about
what
it
is
we're
doing
and
why
we're
doing
it.
A
Thank
you.
I
really
enjoyed
that
presentation.
I
like
the
multiple
players.
That's
awesome,
councilmember
stokes,
I'm
going
to
start
with
you
and
then
I'll
open
it
up.
If
you
people
want
to
raise
your
hand
I'll
call
on
you
so
councilmember
starks
to
start
us
off.
F
I've
been
dreaming
about
arts
and
culture
and
how
how
we
do
things
in
bellevue
and
for
since
I
before
I
came
on
council
when
I
came
on
council
and
you
all
know
the
work
I
I'm
doing
on
that
and
been
involved
with
the
and
liaison
the
arts
commission
for
a
long
time-
and
this
is
this-
is
kind
of
you
know
when
you,
when
you
do
that,
and
you
work
on
things.
F
But
I
think
what
we're
talking
about
now
is
is
a
culmination
of
all
the
thoughts
that
have
been
going
on
over
this
time
period,
and
you
know
I've
gone
on
every
one
of
the
bda
trips
and
one
of
the
things
we
always
do
is
go
out
and
look
at
the
cultural
facilities
and
learned
a
lot
from
that.
F
Fortunately,
two
times
in
these
and
the
last
one
was
in
dallas,
and
I
think
it
was
in
california
before
when
you,
when
you
go
out
to
the
and
I'll
try
to
wrap
up
quickly
when
you
go
out
there,
you
have
a
chance
to
talk
to
people
when
I
talk
to
ray
and
we
and
other
people
who
have
been
involved
in
arts
and
looking
at
the
great
opportunity
we
have
on
bellevue
on
the
east
side.
F
It
was
really
exciting
that
we
talked
about
some
of
the
concepts,
but
I
I'm
very
hopeful
with
this,
and
and
I
think
it
it
the
concept
and
the
opportunity
as
outlined,
I
think,
gives
us
a
chance
to
really
move
this
forward
and
be
a
real
leader
in
the
area
in
the
state.
Frankly,
in
in
doing
this,
and
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
work,
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
you
know.
Focus.
F
I'm
also
very
pleased
that
this
is
coming
at
a
time
when
the
focus
on
equity
and
focus
on
community
building
of
community
of
all
people
in
bellevue
and
the
region
is
part
of
this.
So,
and-
and
we
had
a
very,
very
good
meeting
presentation
with
the
park
with
the
arts
commission-
they
were
very
enthused
asking
about
this.
F
F
Getting
people
really
excited
about
this
and
leading
to
the
day
when
you
can
go
at
any
place
in
bellevue
and
find
a
place
of
of
arts
or
place
to
sit
down
and
chat
about
your
culture,
chat
about
arts
and
everything
and
then
go
to
places
where
you
have
great
performances
to
me
is
is
something
that's
gonna
elevate,
bellevue
and
really
add
to
the
growth
we've
had
in
in
in
approaching
you
know
in
in
livability
in
bellevue,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
this
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
how
we
can
continue
to
work
for
it.
F
I
want
to
congratulate
and
thank
jesse
and
and
scott
for
working
on
this
and,
as
you
know,
I've
always
believed
in
and
firmly
believe
now
that
you
know
arts
and
and
culture
is
is
a
really
important
is-
is
a
poor
economic
driver,
but
it's
it's
something.
That's
more
than
economics.
It's
it's!
F
It's
a
it's
a
sole
driver,
it's
it's
something
that
really
makes
the
city
really
does
make
it
the
place
you
want
to
be
so
I'm
very
excited
about
it
and
a
little
stop
here
and
listen
to
the
conversation.
Thank
you.
A
Okay
is
any:
are
there
any
other
comments,
see
councilmember
barksdale
and
I
see
deputy
mayor
noon
house.
I
see
council
members
on
go
ahead
and
I
see
councilmember
lee
go
ahead.
Councilwoman
barksdale.
C
I
Oh
well
well.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
mark
still
appreciate
that
very
courteous
of
you
yeah,
fantastic
presentation.
This
is
one
of
the
best
presentations
we've
had
this
year,
I'll
I'll
fully
admit
that
it
just
the
outstanding
board
ray
that
you've
put
together
here.
Many
with
you
know
real
strong,
local
roots
or
strong
expertise
is
just
it's
just
really
amazing,
and
I
am
so
excited
about
this
work
as
council
member
stokes
had
just
said,
and
you
know
you
check
so
many
of
the
box
here.
I
I
I
And
building
on
what
we
already
do
well
here
in
bellevue
in
terms
of
like
the
bellwether
arts
festival
and
then
taking
advantage
of
the
cultural
corridor
with
the
brand
connection,
so
we're
just
keep,
building
and
building
and
hopefully
creating
something
that
is
unique,
something
that
is
sustainable
and
something
that
is
going
to
further
establish
a
thriving
arts,
community
and
cultural
community
in
bellevue
that
I
think,
as
a
council
we're
all
really
eager
for.
I
So
having
said
all
that,
I
wanted
to
ask
you
a
couple
of
quick
questions
in
terms
of,
and
this
almost
turns
into
an
opportunity
for
you
for
for
a
pitch
for
for
sponsors.
But
I'm
curious.
You
know
how
many
sponsors
do
you
think
it's
going
to
take
or
family
foundations
to
be
involved
and
and
then
and
then
what
is
the
the
the
ticket
sales
etc?
I
guess.
S
I
Look
like
in
order
for
this
to
be
sustainable
model
for
many
many
years,
because
certainly,
I
think
you've
got
the
momentum.
You've
got
an
incredible
partner
here
in
terms
of
mr
louis,
but
what
does
this
look
like
going
forward
once
it's
established.
T
It's
hard
to
know
the
answer
to
that
until
we
know
exactly
how
many
people
we
have
who
are
willing
to
work
with
us,
the
more
people,
the
more
spaces
that
we
can
have,
the
more
we
can
amortize
the
cost
of
operating
the
spaces
over
over
more
opportunities
to
make
revenue.
The
key
to
the
whole
model,
however,
is
the
flexibility
it's
what
we're
promising
the
developers.
T
The
reason
that
they
want
to
work
with
us
is
because
they're
looking
for
activated
space,
so
the
way
we
are
building
and
designing
these
buildings
is
with
inherent
flexibility
built
in,
so
that
you
can
have
one
production
one
night
and
then
a
completely
different
production
and
a
completely
different
setup.
The
next
night
there's
no
two
weeks
of
dark
time
as
you
as
you
close
something
down
load
it
out
and
move
the
next
thing
in
what
we're
promising
the
developers
is
200
to
250
nights
of
events
of
activated
spaces.
T
T
I
I
wish
I
could
give
you
more
specifics
about
it's
going
to
cost
x
amount
of
dollars.
It's
going
to
take
the
next
amount
of
time.
We
know
how
much
we
think
the
cloud
view
project
is
going
to
cost.
We
know
how
much
time
we
have
to
raise
the
money
to
do
it.
We
feel
very
confident
that
we
can
do
it,
as
the
word
gets
out
about
what
it
is
that
we're
doing.
We
think
we
will
have
more
adherence.
T
We
are
having
wonderful
meetings
with
some
of
the
biggest
names.
Obviously
that
you
can
imagine
on
the
the
east
side,
both
corporate
and
and
residents,
where
we
decided
that,
rather
than
kicking
off
with
fundraising,
we
would
pick
off
kick
off
with
proof
of
concept,
and
we
would
try
to
get
some
points
on
the
board
to
prove
that
what
we
were
doing
was
viable
and
needed
and
necessary.
T
Now
that
I
think
that
we've
done
that,
I
think
we've
reached
that
threshold
now
is
when
the
serious
worker
fundraising
begins.
C
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor,
great
and
elk
and
sandusky
and
michael.
This
is
awesome.
I
mean
I'm
ray.
I
remember
having
conversations
with
you
like
a
couple
years
ago
about
just
being
just
talking
about
community
and
arts
and
so
forth,
and
just
glad
to
see
you
know
so
much
of
what
you've
presented
today
and
the
vision
and
mission.
So
I
would
say,
as
someone
who
grew
up
in
the
art
scene,
so
I
grew
up
singing
and
playing
instruments
playing
in
the
band
and
singing
in
choirs
and
such
it's.
C
It's
in
addition
to
the
connections
and
the
sense
of
belonging
that
that
fosters
through
bringing
the
different
cultures
together
and
helping
to
build
those
relationships
through
a
shared
platform.
If
you
will,
I
think
it's
also
life-changing
because
a
lot
of
people,
like
especially
our
youth
who
may
find
that
expression
through
the
arts
as
life-changing
for
them,
and
so
I'm
excited
for
what
this
will
bring
to
bellevue.
C
I'm
also
excited
for
the
nightlife,
as
as
the
economic
development
team
knows
that
I
I
talk
about
a
lot
and
so
one
question
for
you
in
terms
of
a
platform
for
independent
artists
who
maybe
are
providing
courses.
I
took
lessons
from
from
an
instructor
for
when
I
learned
piano
and
trumpet,
and
so
just
curious
about
what
sort
of
platform
exists
for
those
folks.
T
Well,
as
I
mentioned
that,
yes,
we're
doing,
these
kind
of
larger
scale
finish
performance
spaces,
but
the
plans
are
for,
as
we
move
out
of
downtown
bellevue
is
community-based
spaces
to
be
used
by
just
those
purposes:
independent
teachers.
T
We
were
in
because
that
strip
mall
was
torn
down,
and
that
was
actually
the
very
first
thing
that
got
me
attuned
to
the
fact
that
that
that
level
of
space
is
a
necessity.
It's
what
it's!
What
creates
investment
in
the
arts,
people,
people
value
arts
because
they
understand
it
because
they
had
a.
I
went
into
arts
because
I
happen
to
grow
up
in
a
place
where
there
was
an
embedded
cultural
infrastructure
and
support,
and
so
it
became
a
career
option
for
me
because
of
what
I
experienced
because
of
where
I
grew
up.
T
That's
what
we
need
to
create
here
on
the
east
side,
especially
with
all
of
the
different
cultures
and
peoples
moving
in
there
has
to
be
opportunity
for
expression
of
that,
and
it
has
to
be
seen
as
a
as
a
viable
career,
whether
it's
a
career
path
or
a
hobby
path.
But
just
a
connection.
A
tangible
connection
to
the
arts
is,
is
the
thing
that
that
is
driving
us
to
do
what
we're
doing
that's
what
we
want
to
create.
C
H
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
also
am
very,
very
excited
about
east
hub
and
and
what
you're
doing
I
mean
to
me,
you
know
the
culture
creates
community
and
that
this
is
a
city-wide
effort
really
resonates.
So
it's
about
how
we
really
embed
arts
and
culture
within
our
community
and
what
I
think
about
is
that
you
know
we're
an
innovative
city,
and
certainly
the
arts
spurs
innovation
so
to
the
degree
that
we
embed
even
more
and
more
art
in
our
community.
H
H
H
I
would
love
to
see
it
in
our
conference
rooms
in
our
community
centers,
so
that,
instead
of
waiting
for
spaces
to
be
built
out,
let's
use
the
spaces
that
we
have
and
how
do
we
create
the
opportunities
for
artists
that
have
not
been
able
to
display
their
art
for
people
that
have
been?
You
know
sheltered
at
home?
H
How
do
we
actually
get
that
going
so
as
we
come
out
of
and
are
together
again
in
community
that
we
have
spaces
where
we
can
celebrate
all
of
the
different
local
artists
that
we
have-
and
I
would
say
especially
with
our
students
and
our
youth,
where
it
would
be
amazing
if
there
was
more
spaces
for
them
to
be
able
to
gather
in
community
and
show
off
their
arts,
and
then
I
also
think
about
the
culinary
arts.
H
H
Just
how
we
create
those
cross-platforms
where
it
it
becomes,
the
very
air
that
we
breathe
right
and
so
just
super
excited
about
what
you're
doing
and
also
the
partnerships
you
already
have
with
reader
rita
with
tasmir
they've,
been
very
active
in
the
community
with
theater
and
movies,
and
then
I
wasn't
as
familiar
with
tabor
100
doing
this
work,
but
certainly
they're
very
connected
with
our
black
community
and
businesses.
So
if
they're
engaged
in
arts
and
culture,
I
think
that's
great.
I
didn't
realize
that
was
something
that
they
had
branched
into.
T
We
had
a
great
conversation
earlier
today
with
hopefully
a
very
substantial
potential
partner
for
us
just
about
this
whole
idea
of
taking
advantage
of
opportunities
to
create
pop-up
art.
Well,
I
lived
in
new
york
in
the
90s
and
and
when
that
was
one
of
the
great
memorable
things
that
happened
then
was
as
there
was.
A
wave
of
development
that
hit
new
york
old
buildings
were
were
taken
down.
T
Incredible,
interesting,
immersive,
art
exhibition,
spaces
and
walking
down
the
streets
in
new
york
city
between,
say,
1994
and
1996
was
an
unforgettable
experience,
because
you
never
knew
what
you
would
come
up
across.
I
do
think
there's
exa,
there's
opportunities
for
that,
and
some
of
the
most
exciting
artwork
that
you
can
have
is
opportunistic
use
of
of
a
fleeting
space
or
a
fleeting
moment.
T
Interesting
and
profound
art
on
the
east
side
is
one
of
the
easiest
things
to
talk
about,
just
because
the
east
side
has
such
a
tradition
of
visual
arts
of
arts,
festivals
and
arts
fairs,
and-
and
that's
going
to
be,
I
think,
an
easy
thing
to
take
advantage
of
to
reignite
and
to
really
use
to
put
to
put
the
place
on
the
map.
As
for
culinary,
I
haven't
thought
about
that.
T
D
Thank
you,
ma'am
hi
ray.
How
are
you
good,
very
impressive
presentation,
good
work,
you've
done.
You
know
this
is
a
great
economic
development
vision
you
played
in
front
of
all
of
us
and
for
the
east
side
and
not
just
eastside
east
side.
I
think
it's
the
future
for
the
whole
region,
so
I
think
you're
doing
something
really
with
technology.
You
know
with
the
global
exposure,
businesses
and
talents
and
community
that
we
have,
and
so,
as
you
know,
arts
is
a
common
language,
a
common
tool.
You
know
to
bring
people
together.
D
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
great
vision.
You've
laid
out
very
impressed.
So
my
thought
is
that
you
know
you
know,
there's
some
emphasis
on
technology.
Actually,
the
word
cloudview.
You
know
I
was
talking
to
lauren
sluity.
I
mentioned
that
the
eastside
is
the
cloud
computing
center
of
the
world:
amazon,
microsoft.
You
know
they're
all
here
and
the
t-mobile,
so
indeed
I
think
it
represents
the
future
and
the
economic
engine
that
this
region
represents,
and
I
think
arts
and
culture
really
provides
the
common
language
and
common
tool.
D
D
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
the
table
100,
you
know
it's
a
one,
great
culture,
community
and
also
obviously
you're
working
with
chamber.
You
know
and
the
other
we
talked
about
earlier.
D
The
asian
american
community
is
39
of
the
population
in
bellevue,
and
so
in
the
east
side,
it's
just
you
know
proportional,
and
it's
growing,
that's
important,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
in
not
to
leave
them
sort
of
miss
them,
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
folks
and
especially
myself,
knowing
how
many
talents
you
know
have
come
to
united
states
to
this
region
from
from
china
from
from
asia
and
these
folks
they
are
concentrated
here,
and
many
of
them
are
really
top
top
cattle
caliber.
I
know
of
people
who
used
to
be.
D
You
know
what
they
call
class
one
talents
in
performing
art
and
dancing.
They
came
to
pacific
northwest
ballet
and
they,
you
know
they're
very
good,
and
so
these
are
the
folks
that
can
really
bring
the
world
together.
As
we
know,
you
know
it's
all
here
from
europe
from
south
america,
from
africa
from
everywhere
almost
and
so
I
think
we
really
have
a
very
rich
in
those
talents
and,
let's
you
know,
make
sure
we
take
advantage
of
those
talents
and
recognize
them
and
cultivate
them
and
encourage
them.
D
Sometimes
the
culture
sometimes
prevents
them,
because
they're
new
into
our
country,
their
community,
so
they
need
to
have
people
like
us,
you
to
bring
them
up,
bring
them
up,
give
them
the
opportunity
to
develop
them.
I
think
that's
where
we
can
really
enjoy
appreciate.
You
know
the
great
things
that
we
bring
from
all
over
the
world
here
to
believe
to
the
east
side,
so
good
job.
T
That's
actually
what's
going
to
when
we
talk
about
creating
a
distinctive
cultural
destination.
That's
that's
the
that's
the
fuel
for
that.
T
We
want
to
make
bellevue
its
own
individual,
distinct
cultural
destination,
different
than
what
you
can
find
in
seattle,
because
we
want
to
give
people
a
reason
from
all
over
from
seattle
from
all
over
the
east
side
to
come
to
experience
culture
here
and
the
engine,
for
that
is
the
diversity
here
and
the
collaborations
that
can
happen
between
seattle-based
groups
and
and
local
groups,
between
international
touring
groups
and
local
groups,
and
just
between
the
local
groups
themselves
and
giving
them
a
real
showcase.
D
D
He
plays
a
lot
of
guitar,
he
played
and
he
actually
started
a
project
to
bring
musicians
from
all
over
the
world
to
come
to
his
music
experimental
project
in
seattle
center
yeah
people
bring
their
own
instrument
just
bring
them
all
together.
Sit
in
one
room,
just
play
music
express
the
feeling,
and
it's
amazing
what
that
will
present
to
share
with
each
other
with
their
own
instrument.
D
The
way
they
make
sound
to
me,
music-
and
this
is
what
yo
yo
ma
does
he
plays
his
channel
traditional
western
instrument,
but
he
plays
with
people
who
plays
a
chinese
fruit.
Yes,
you
know
whatever
and
that's
the
thing
that
bring
people
together
makes
beautiful
sounds
you
know,
cross
culture,
communication,
that's
what
it
means
to
be
course,
culture
right.
It
doesn't
matter
whether
you
do
it
through
art,
culture
or
technology
or
whatever,
but
it's
the
opportunity
to
bring
it
together
and
that's
what
really
counts.
D
A
Strongly
agree,
thank
you,
councilmember
lee,
I'm
going
to
speak
and
then
councilman
robertson
did
you
want
to
have
a
chance
to
speak
as
well?
Why
don't
you
go
ahead
and
then
I'll
go
after
you.
P
Thank
you,
no
good
conversation,
great
presentation,
I'm
really
excited
about
this.
I'm
just
I
have
a
question
for
staff,
and
that
is
how
does
this
plan
work
into
our
study
and
desire
for
more
multicultural
space,
particularly
our
cross-cultural
center,
because
it
seems
like
this
would
be
another
third
place
this
and
pace
it
would
have
another
third
place,
and
I
just
love
the
idea
of
these
arts
popping
up.
P
I
know
that
pace
has
the
they're
having
pop-up
art
all
in
red,
redmond
and
bellevue,
where
musicians
just
show
up
in
public
spaces.
I
think
it's
great.
We
need
more
of
that,
and
this
is
an
example
of
more
of
that
and
a
lot
more
of
that.
It's
really
exciting.
So
I'm
wanting
to
know
how
this
is
will
be.
This
idea
will
be
integrated
in
our
planning
for
more
parks,
our
planning,
formal
cultural
space,
etc,
etc.
P
So
someone
from
staff
could
answer
that,
because
even
if
it's
a
private
or
non-profit
promote
proposal,
it's
gonna
serve
the
people
of
our
region,
yeah.
V
I'm
happy
to
hop
in
we'll
be
leading
this.
Q
Yeah
great
councilman
robertson.
I
can
tackle
that
one
really
briefly,
and
we
are.
We
are
thinking
about
how
east
hub
and
pace
and
others
interact
with
and
integrate
with
the
work
that
is
happening
around
the
multicultural
center
and
other
facilities.
I
am
not
directly
on
the
cross
cultural
center
facilities
team,
but
is
available.
He
may
be
able
to
speak
a
little
bit
more
in
depth,
but
we
are.
We
are
looking
for
opportunities
for
alignment
and
collaboration
on
those
types
of
projects.
P
A
I
just
like
I
said:
I
love
this
presentation
and
this
is
such
a
great
night.
We
have
parks,
we
have
arts
and
then
we
have
next
affordable
housing.
So
all
my
favorite
subjects,
but
I
have
to
say
I
happened
upon
that
little
beehive
thing
at
the
bellevue
botanical
gardens
and
I
was
not
expecting
it
and
it
did
everything
that
you
hope
things
like
that
will
do.
It
surprised
us
it
delighted
us
that
door
is
actually
pretty
small.
A
It's
about
three
feet
tall,
so
you
have
to
really
convince
yourself
to
go
inside
this
dark
space,
but
once
you're
in
there
the
light
the
way
the
light
shines
is
just
fantastic,
and
you
know
we
had
this
wonderful
experience.
My
friend
and
I
unexpected
experience
and
it
I
took
pictures
inside.
It
was
really
beautiful
and
I
just
thought:
that's
that's
what
I
want
more
of
in
bellevue.
I
just
want
more
of
those
pop-up
art
experiences
where
you
don't
expect
it,
but
it's
just
it's
a
real
pleasant
thing.
So
I'm
excited
I'm.
A
I
think
there's
a
tremendous
value
and
maintaining
some
sort
of
a
arts
calendar
so
that
people,
if
they
have
a
free
night,
can
go
to
one
place
and
find
out
what's
available
throughout
bellevue,
and
it
sounds
like
you
may
be
doing
something
like
that
which
I'd
be
excited
about.
I
love
your
calling
the
cultural
corridor.
A
I
never
heard
the
grand
connection
called
that
before
and
I
really
like
it.
So
that's
great
and
then
kind
of
what
councilmember
robertson
was
asking.
I'm
wondering
how
how
do
we
connect
the
existing
spaces
like
pacific
northwest
ballet
speed
space?
You
know
they
have
a
studio,
a
public
studio
space
in
that
facility.
A
How
do
we
connect
to
that
and
how
do
we
connect
to
future
projects
that
we
are
looking
forward
to
like
pace?
So
how
do
you
see
that
happening.
T
T
We
feel
that
when
we
are
successful,
we
are
going
to
contribute
to
their
success
in,
in
the
case
of
pacific
northwest
valley,
their
ongoing
success
in
the
case
of
pace
their
future
success
of
building
the
building,
because
what
we're
doing
is
hopefully
creating
an
arts
and
culture
base
of
people
who
are
interested
in
in
participating
and
coming
to
see
stuff
and
also,
as
I
said
earlier,
creating
bellevue
and
the
east
side
is
a
destination
for
arts
and
culture
that
has
the
effect
of
bringing
more
people
to
the
area,
to
experience,
arts
and
culture
that
that
is
going
to
naturally
lead
to
increased
foot
traffic
through
the
bellevue
art
museum
through
the
pace
facility.
T
When
it
opens
and
curiosity
about
everything.
That's
here,
it's
not
just
there's
not
just
one
pie
that
you
divide
up
into
certain
number
of
pieces
and-
and
if
I
get
a
piece
you
don't
our
goal
is,
is
I
don't
know
if
it's
to
cook
more
pies
or
cook
one
bigger
pie?
But
it's
it's
to
it's
to
create
to
create
the
sense
of
this
area
and
the
reality
of
of
this
city
and
this
area
as
a
hub
for
arts
and
culture
is
a
hot
place
to
be.
T
A
Well
great
and
I
think
cloudview
the
theater
is
a
wonderful
place
to
start.
That's
that's
just
amazing
to
have
that
kind
of
support
for
that.
So
thank
you
very
much,
looking
forward
to
the
next
installment
of
presentation
from
you
and
I'm
hoping
to
see
more
pop-up
art
throughout
bellevue
me
too.
So
with
that
we're
gonna
take
a
break,
it
is
801.
We
will
reconvene
at
8
11.
A
E
Sure
mayor
so
tonight
the
council
received
another
scheduled
briefing
in
line
with
the
house
bill
1590
work
plan
just
by
way
background
as
council
might
remember.
The
council
enacted
resolution
9826
on
october
12th
of
2020,
which
allows
billy
to
collect
a
10
percent
sales
tax
for
affordable
housing
and
behavioral
health
services
under
state
law.
E
Tonight
staff
is
seeking
council
direction
to
initiate
a
request
for
proposal
process
to
identify
behavioral
health
services,
as
well
as
housing
related
services
and
to
be
funded
by
hp.
1590
revenue
staff
also
seeks
preliminary
feedback
on
the
other
areas
of
information
covered
in
this
presentation
this
this
evening.
So
joining
us
tonight
is
matt
cummins,
the
director
of
a
community
development
department.
E
He
is
joined
by
stephanie
martinez,
homeless,
outreach
coordinator
as
well
as
lisa
olson
management,
fellow
both
from
the
city
manager's
office,
as
well
as
by
tony
esparza,
the
assistant
director
in
the
parks
and
community
services
department.
With
that,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
hand
it
off
to
mack.
W
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
mayor
members
of
the
council.
It's
good
to
be
back
with
you
here
this
evening,
talking
about
house
bill
1590
and
the
implementation
plan
for
both
the
ability
to
spend
money
on
human
services,
which
we'll
spend
quite
a
bit
of
time
talking
about
tonight
and
the
creation
of
new,
affordable
housing
for
our
most
vulnerable
populations
in
the
community.
W
So
I'm
joined
this
evening
with
our
project
managers,
lisa,
wilson,
stephanie
martinez
and
then
tony
esparza
from
our
parks
and
community
services.
Department
is
here
to
specifically
talk
about
what
we
envision
to
be
a
pretty
exciting
opportunity
to
spend
some
of
the
1590
money,
because
there's
an
immediate
need
that
we
think
we
can
meet
and
want
to
talk
to
the
council
about
that.
W
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
the
specific
request
of
the
council
this
evening
is
to
initiate
an
rfp
that
would
immediately
allow
folks
groups
that
provide
those
types
of
mental
and
behavioral
health
services,
as
well
as
housing-related
services
to
potentially
access
the
1590
monies
in
this
year
and
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
tonight
about
the
overall
funding
stream.
The
amount
that
we're
proposing
the
council
considered
dedicating
to
the
human
services
and
then
the
remainder
would
be
for
capital,
construction
of
new,
affordable
housing.
W
So
tonight
there's
two
things:
that's
going
to
happen!
We're
going
to
give
you
an
update
on
some
things
that
we've
been
out
doing
and
some
feedback
we've
been
getting
from
some
of
our
housing
providers,
around
themes
that
are
coming
for
you
all.
When
you
get
into
the
capital
construction
side
of
the
1590
work
program
and
then
the
second
part
will
specifically
be
a
request
to
initiate
that
rfp.
W
Overall,
we
are
starting
each
of
these
study
sessions
with
house
bill,
1590
funding
and
what
it's
allowed
to
be
funded,
for
there
are
some
some
very
specific
populations
that
can
be
housed
within
the
affordable
housing
itself,
and
then
there
are
some
requirements
relating
to
the
percentages
of
money,
and
so
we'll
talk
about
that.
We
always
start
with
that
slide.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
work
plan
where
we
are,
we've
been
coming
back
to
the
council
every
four
to
six
weeks
or
so
we're
still
on
that
trajectory
and
hopefully
we'll
be.
W
If
the
council
makes
decisions
around
the
housing
related
services
and
mental
behavioral
services
this
evening,
moving
into
the
provision
of
affordable
housing,
which
is
the
other
side
of
the.
What
1590
allows
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we've
heard
so
far
from
outreach
and
engagement,
including
the
high
level
themes.
The
there
are
absolutely
some
relationships
between
the
human
services
that
are
provided
for
and
the
types
of
populations
that
are
going
to
be
housed
within
projects
that
are
are
partially
or
or
wholly
funded
by
the
1590
revenue
stream.
W
So
we're
going
to
talk
to
you
all
about
that
with
the
intent
of
that
leading
into
your
next
series
of
study
sessions
in
june
and
july,
and
then
we're
going
to
turn
it
over
to
ms
esparza,
who
will
be
talking
about
the
early
wins
opportunities
and
and
looking
at
how
we
can
spend
some
of
that
1590
money
and
then
we'll
move
into
the
next
steps
to
wrap
up.
W
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
lisa,
the
most
important
thing
to
remember
about
the
1590
bill
is
that
at
least
60
of
the
money
has
to
be
spent
on
on
creating
physical
facilities
that
serve
populations
at
or
below
the
60
ami
threshold.
W
Generally,
that
is
going
to
be
30
and
below
and
then
30
to
60
percent.
We
are
still
looking
into
the
various
product
types
and
the
business
models
that
are
contained
therein
and
you're
going
to
see
those
at
your
next
study
session.
W
We
are
proposing
that
20
percent
of
the
monies
be
set
aside
for
those
services
that
generally
lines
up
with
the
human
services
commission
work
from
last
year
in
the
human
services
needs,
it
will
be
about
a
million
800
000
and
we'll
walk
through
what
we
saw
in
our
human
services
needs
assessments
before
and
what
you're
likely
to
see?
W
Should
you
initiate
the
the
rfp
this
evening
and
then
the
remainder
of
the
money
would
come
back
as
part
of
the
capital
construction
which
will
be
that
60
number
you
see
on
this
slide,
let's
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide
here
and
I'm
going
to
hand
it
off
to
liesel.
There
have
been
some
changes
to
the
state
law.
You
got
an
update
on
that
from
joyce
nichols
and
team,
as
it
was
moving
through
the
state
legislature
process.
N
Great
thank
you
mac
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newton
house
and
members
of
council,
I'm
glad
to
be
presenting
to
you
tonight
so,
as
mack
mentioned
during
the
2021
legislative
session
house,
bill
1070
passed
and
became
effective,
which
expanded
the
use
of
this
tax
revenue
for
housing
and
related
services
you'll
see
in
those
bullets.
The
main
change
is
what
we
wanted
to
highlight
for
you
tonight.
N
In
addition,
affordable
housing,
the
definition
was
expanded
to
include
emergency
transitional
or
supportive
housing
options
which
expands
those
uses
that
could
be
with
used
within
bellevue
and
then.
Lastly,
the
specific
populations
that
need
to
be
served
by
the
60
of
funding
was
expanded
from
simply
homeless
families,
with
children
to
persons
who
are
homeless
or
at
risk
of
homelessness,
which
still
includes
the
families
with
children.
N
You'll,
remember
at
our
march
study
session
that
a
lot
of
our
conversations
with
stakeholders
were
focused
on
behavioral
health
and
housing.
Related
services
and
tonight's
study
session
will
be
starting
to
focus
more
on
the
conversations
we've
had
with
both
our
affordable
housing
and
for-profit
developers
within
the
community,
and
we're
excited
that
this
will
help
guide
and
inform
our
upcoming
work
related
to
the
capital
side
of
the
funding
process.
N
We'll
also
highlight
some
additional
themes
that
we've
heard
from
other
out
other
stakeholders,
specifically
speaking
to
individuals
with
lived
experience
related
to
housing,
instability,
the
faith-based
community
and
culturally
specific
agencies.
N
X
All
right,
thank
you,
liesel,
so,
for
the
next
theme
that
we've
heard
from
our
affordable
housing
stakeholders
is
the
need
for
zero
to
thirty
percent
ami
housing
in
order
to
really
create
a
range
of
housing
choices
and
housing
opportunities
for
our
most
underserved
and
most
economically
diverse
households.
There's
really
a
need
for
this
due
to
the
limited
supply,
not
just
in
bellevue
but
across
our
entire
region.
X
We
know
that
there's
a
large
gap
between
households
at
zero
to
30
percent
ami
in
existing
units
to
serve
these
households,
and
what
we
continue
to
hear
from
our
stakeholders
is
the
need
for
the
additional
public
funding
to
create
housing
for
individuals
and
families
and
households
who
have
the
greatest
challenge:
finding
affordable
housing
within
the
zero
to
30
percent
income
range
in
conversation
with
other
jurisdictions
as
well.
That
have
already
implemented
the
sales
and
use
tax.
X
There's
also
similar
focus
on
providing
affordable
housing
for
very
low
and
low
income
households,
and
what
we
continue
to
hear
is
that,
through
providing
zero
to
thirty
percent
emi
housing,
we
can
continue
to
enhance
our
equity
and
accessibility
for
our
most
underserved
communities
and
again
for
our
most
economically
diverse
residents
next
one
and
service
connected
housing.
So
we
continue
to
hear
this
within
our
last
study
session
and
this
one,
and
particularly
with
our
affordable
housing
developers,
providers
and
operators.
X
This
continues
to
be
a
topic
to
note,
because
during
these
conversations,
we've
really
heard
that
there's
an
increased
level
of
care
needed
at
our
existing,
affordable
housing
properties
and
really
across
our
community-based
agencies
that
serve
our
most
vulnerable
communities.
These
sort
of
supportive
services
could
include,
and
could
be,
could
include
things
like
mental
and
behavior
health
services.
X
Substance
use
services
falls
within
that
could
be
anything
for
employment
services
and
so
forth,
and
really
these
services
can
really
enhance
housing,
stability
for
a
household
and
really
support
an
individual.
For
example.
Let's
say
a
household
is
transitioning
from
homelessness
to
housing
and
into
permanent
housing.
X
Those
individuals
might
need
additional
supports
again,
such
as
continued
case
management
or
enhanced
case
management,
mental
behavior
health
supports
employment
services
and
so
forth,
and
so
there's
this
continued
need
to
enrich
our
housing
with
services,
but
we're
also
hearing
that
there's
limited
funding
for
staffing,
staffing
and
operational
costs
for
these
types
of
services
as
well
going
on
to
the
next
one.
So
for
mental
and
behavioral
health
services.
X
What
we've
been
hearing
from
our
affordable
housing
developers,
providers
and
operators
is
that
there's
really
an
increased
need
in
behavioral
health
services
across
the
board,
again,
not
just
at
these
properties
but
across
our
community-based
agencies
that
serve
our
most
vulnerable
communities.
What
we've
heard
through
these
conversations
is
that
there's
a
need
for
behavioral
health
crises
support.
X
So
for
this
last
sort
of
group,
really
we
we
try
to
tie
in
what
we've
been
hearing
across
the
board
from
three
other
larger
groups.
So
we
did
talk
to
folks
with
lived
experience
in
relation
to
housing,
instability
and
homelessness,
the
faith-based
communities
and
culturally
specific
agencies,
and
what
we've
really
heard
loud
and
clear
is
that
they're
continuing
to
echo
what
we've
been
hearing
across
stakeholder
groups
and
we've
listed
these
themes
here,
we're
not
going
to
dive
too
specific
into
each
of
these
things,
because
you
guys
have
heard
these
in
the
last
day
session.
X
You'll
continue
to
hear
it
during
this
study
session,
but
some
of
the
big
major
themes
that
we
continue
to
hear
are
things
like
meeting
culturally
specific
and
responsive
services,
enhancing
employment
services,
the
increased
need
for
behavioral
health
services
and
so
forth
and
for
affordable
housing.
Specifically
as
well-
and
here
I
will
hand
it
over
to
tony
esparza,
to
walk
us
through
the
early
funding
opportunities.
Y
Y
In
addition,
you
have
expressed,
as
council
has
expressed,
to
staff
a
desire
to
use
this
revenue
efficiently
and
quickly,
and
we
are
doing
that.
Hopefully,
through
your
direction
this
evening
to
issue
an
rfp
as
staff
continue
to
build
the
long-term
funding
processes
for
utilizing
hp,
1590
funds,
we
are
recommending
establishing
a
funding
allocation
of
approximately
20
percent
of
the
anticipated
revenue
for
the
year
to
fund
these
early
identified
opportunities,
which
again
totals
about
1.8
million
dollars.
Y
The
funding
would
go
to
agencies
and
organizations
to
contract
for
behavioral
health
services
and
housing
related
services,
which
I'll
detail
more
for
you
this
evening.
If
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
we
are
recommending
the
use
of
an
rfp
process
for
several
reasons
that
I'd
like
to
go
over
with
you
tonight.
Y
Y
This
funding
allocation
would
span
2021
and
2022,
but
would
be
an
interim
step
as
the
long-term
infrastructure
for
this
program
is
established.
Next
slide,
please
through
our
stakeholder
conversations,
which
includes
our
discussions
with
community-based
agencies,
faith-based
communities,
affordable
housing
providers
and
operators,
those
with
lived
experience
in
relation
to
homelessness
and
staff
expertise.
Y
Next
slide,
please
so
now
I'll
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
about
each
of
the
priority
areas.
Behavioral
health
services
are
a
priority
as
they
promote
mental
health
resilience
and
well-being.
They
enhance
housing
stability,
as
our
residents
can
receive
the
support
or
treatment
necessary
to
remain
stable
in
their
housing.
Y
In
addition,
we
can
increase
the
provision
of
low-cost
or
no-cost
mental
health
services
and
substance
use
disorder
treatment
in
our
community
next
slide.
Please,
within
behavioral
health
services,
we
will
be
seeking
applications
for
some
specific
things,
including
same-day
mental
health
and
substance,
use,
disorder,
assessments
and
treatments,
medically
assisted
treatment
for
substance,
use
disorders,
culturally,
responsive
services
for
historically
underserved
populations,
services,
co-located
at
facilities
and
or
housing
properties
and
behavioral
health
therapeutic
case
management.
And
again
these
priorities
were
established
based
on
the
data.
That's
been
gathered
through
the
outreach
into
the
community.
Y
Next
slide,
please
moving
on
to
supportive
services.
Supportive
services
are
a
priority,
as
they
help
individuals
and
families
obtain
and
maintain
their
housing.
They
address
housing
barriers
that
led
to
the
housing
instability
in
the
first
place,
or
that
may
have
led
to
homelessness
in
the
first
place
and
they
enhance
overall
housing
stability
for
the
long-term
future.
Y
That
includes
assistance
for
families
that
are
in
a
home,
but
in
crisis
that
may
need
rental
assistance
in
order
to
prevent
eviction
or
move
in
assistance
for
those
transitioning
from
homelessness
to
housing.
But
who
may
be
in
need
of
additional
support
for
moving
costs
and
now
I'll
go
over
the
process
that
the
rfp
would
go
through
again?
Just
a
recap:
these
funds
fall
under
the
40
percent
of
the
funding
that
may
be
spent
on
the
operation,
delivery
or
evaluation
of
behavioral
health
treatment,
programs
and
services
or
housing
related
services.
Y
This
rfp
would
allow
us
to
quickly
provide
funding
to
organizations
that
serve
our
residents
by
using
the
existing
existing
human
services
funding
process
upon
direction
from
council
this
evening.
We
would
move
quickly.
The
rfp
would
be
issued
the
week
of
may
10th.
Proposals
would
then
be
reviewed
by
the
human
services
commission
in
june,
and
funding
recommendations
would
be
brought
to
council
for
consideration
in
july.
Y
The
contracts
for
these
services
would
be
one-time
funding
for
two
years
for
2021
and
2022
in
order
to
align
with
the
human
services
commission's
funding
schedule
relative
to
the
human
services
fund.
The
second
year
of
funding
for
2022
would
be
contingent
on
funding,
availability
and
also
agency
contract
performance,
which
is
also
in
line
with
our
typical
human
services
funding
process.
W
Thanks
tony,
I
think,
as
we
wrap
up
here
and
talk
about
moving
forward,
you
know
I
struck,
as
mrs
farzo
was
just
speaking
there,
the
council
has
been
taking
up
this
work
program
for
only
about
four
or
four
and
a
half
months.
At
this
point-
and
you
all
may
recall,
when
the
council
enacted
its
rights
under
1590,
there
were
a
lot
of
questions
about.
Do
we
have
a
need?
Can
we
spend
the
money?
W
W
You
know
in
service
in
the
community,
so
we
think
this
is
a
good
way
to
go
forward
to
allow
us
to
get
going
on
some
of
the
human
services
components
that
are
vitally
important
to
keep
people
stable
in
housing
and
then
get
on
to
talking
about
how
to
fund
the
housing
projects
themselves.
W
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
wrap
up
our
last
slide,
as
always
the
direction
needed
from
council
again.
The
first
part
of
the
presentation
tonight
was
information
only
to
set
up
the
next
couple
study
sessions.
So
the
ask
of
counsel,
if
you
concur,
is
to
give
direction
to
initiate
the
rfp,
using
the
considerations
that
mrs
farza
outlined
for
you
all.
So
any
of
us
are
happy
to
take
any
questions
from
the
council.
A
Okay,
terrific
thank
you,
deputy
mayor,
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
you
and
then
counsel.
I
assume
everybody
has
a
question,
so
I
will
open
my
eyes
and
see
your
hands
raise
and
I'll
call
on
you.
Each
okay.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
Oh
thank
you.
First
of
all,
matt
tony
liesel
stephanie
great
presentation,
and
the
first
thing
I
just
want
to
applaud
you
on
moving
so
quickly
on
this
and
mac.
I'm
so
glad
that
you
mentioned
that
four
and
a
half
months
since
we
took
that
vote
and
we
already
have
a
process
in
place
for
at
least
1.8
million
of
this
money
coming
through.
That's
a
huge
achievement
and
that's
moving.
I
I
would
think,
especially
in
the
human
services
very
very
quickly,
so
thank
you
so
much
especially
as
I
I
think,
as
a
council,
we
all
had
reiterated
how
quickly
we
wanted
to
move
and
have
some
quick
wins,
and
I
think
there
are
some
built
into
this
rfp
process.
So
I'm
certainly
in
favor
of
this
and
to
initiate
these
this
process
to
identify
the
behavioral
health
services
and
the
housing-related
services
funded
by
money
from
house
bill
1590..
I
I
also
really
appreciate
the
the
real
specifics
built
into
this
rfp
process
and
the
amount
of
work
that
you've
done
alongside
with
the
human
services
commission
in
terms
of
outlying
those
very
specific
behavioral
health
services
that
are
so
critical
in
the
community.
Right
now,
so
you
know
real
kudos
all
around
so
with
that
I'll.
I
Just
ask
a
couple
of
quick
questions
here
in
terms
of
now,
we
know
if
an
rfp
is
approved,
that
the
agency
would
outlay
the
the
money
or
the
capital
in
order
to
provide
these
services,
and
this
would
be
on
a
reimbursement
basis,
but
when
they
ask
for
that
reimbursement
based
on
their
services,
how
quickly
do
we
turn
it
around?
You
know,
given
that
some
of
these
agencies
might
be
smaller
in
nature.
That
would
need
to
be
very
quick
in
order
for
them
to
continue
operations
at
a
level
that
they
would
like
to
see.
I
So
I
don't
know
if
tony
you
could
speak
to
that
a
little
bit.
Y
Yes,
absolutely
thank
you,
deputy
mayor,
so
upon
direction
from
council
in
july.
When
we
come
back
from
recommendations,
the
next
step
would
simply
be
putting
the
contracts
in
place
and
then,
as
you
mentioned,
we
do
provide
our
contracts
on
a
funding
reimbursement
basis,
so
we
receive
requests
for
reimbursement
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
our
expert
city
staff,
across
departments
fam,
has
really
ramped
up
in
response
to
the
large
amount
of
funding
that
the
council
has
provided
for
human
services
during
the
pandemic
and
can
quickly
turn
back
around
reimbursements,
terrific.
I
And
then
my
other
questions
just
based
on
the
the
metrics
that
we'll
be
tracking
in
terms
of
what
we
want
to
see
from
those
agencies
and
the
work
that
they're
performing
and
then
also
that
might
set
the
path
in
terms
of
engaging
those
same
agencies
again.
I
think
some
of
them
obviously
will
be
agencies.
I
We've
worked
with
many
times
in
the
past
and
we
have
a
good
working
history
with
them
when
we
know
what
to
expect,
but
what
sorts
of
metrics
are
we
gonna
track
going
forward
with
this
once
an
rfp
is
approved
as
well.
Y
Yeah,
thank
you
so
with
each
of
our
contracts
in
human
services,
and
we
would
anticipate
doing
the
same
with
our
contracts
relative
to
these
funds.
We
ask
for
a
number
of
reports
from
the
agencies
on
a
quarterly
basis.
They
need
to
report
back
to
us
on
the
service
units
provided
accordance
with
their
contract.
F
Okay,
yeah
thanks
very
much
for
the
presentation,
I'm
I'm
really
excited
about
this,
and
I
appreciate
the
deputy
mayors
asking
some
kind
of
a
procedural
questions
which
we
need
to
know.
You
know
how
the
process
is
going
at
all
and
it
just
reinforces.
I
think,
how
well
planned
this
effort
is
and-
and
I
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
process
to
the
progress-
what
I
wanted
to
say
also,
I'm
it's
very
exciting
one
to
to
get
something
done
in
a
reasonably
short
time
period.
F
That's
that
takes
a
lot
of
work,
and
that
is
very
important
in
this
particular
area.
I
I'm
glad
that
the
legislature
looked
a
little
more
into
how
we,
how
do
we
work
with
and
how
do
we?
I
help
people
who
are
at
the
lower
end
of
this
we're.
We
have
a
lot
of
great
ideas.
A
lot
of
plans
going
on
at
the
upper
end
of
affordable
housing-
and
I
think
this
effort
is-
is
I'm
very
applaud.
F
The
effort
to
attack
and
work
on
the
the
very
difficult
problem
we
have
with
at
the
other
end
of
the
scale.
So
I'm
glad
we're
focusing
on
that
and
it's
it's
a
hard
hard
thing,
but
if
we
don't
deal
with
this
segment
of
the
population,
all
the
other
work
we're
doing.
The
other
area
is
just
going
to
make
a
bigger
hole
in
in
this.
F
This
particular
part-
and
I
also
like
going
back
you're-
not
it's
not
part
of
the
rfp,
but
I
think
the
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
again
very
pleased
that
looking
at
the
the
houses
at
risk
we've
talked
about,
you
know
we
have
an
inventory
of
some
extent
of
house
low-cost
housing,
that's
out
there
that
we
can
preserve.
F
We
have
the
highland
village
example
and
I'm
just
glad
to
see
us
really
going
more
kind
of
full
bore
on
that
as
well,
because
that's
you
know
why
if
we
can
preserve
housing,
that's
that's
a
cost,
less,
there's
a
lot
better
and
then
having
to
go
out
build
more
new
housing,
so
we're
having
a
really
a
full.
I
think
a
full
plate
of
of
ways
to
address
this,
and
I'm
very
pleased
with
that
and
and
again
I'm
I'm
all
in.
F
I
think
you're
doing
a
great
job
in
the
rfp
and
let's
get
it
out
there
and
get
moving
on
it.
So
this
is
I'm
just
very
excited
about
very
pleased
at
the
efforts
and,
let's
we
just
continue
working
together
to
to
show
people
that
bellevue
can
do
this,
and
do
it
well,
because
the
people
that
need
it
deserve
it.
Thank
you.
A
D
Okay,
I'm
impressed
with
how
fast
you
got
this
very
important
piece
of
the
affordable,
affordable
housing,
homeless,
shelter
program.
You
know
it's
in
the
supportive
services,
and
this
is
great
and
also
I'm
very
impressed
how
fast
you've
got
it
going
and
that's
just
the
show
and
how
fast
you
can
do
the
work
and
do
good
work.
D
Y
D
Oh
yeah,
okay,
all
right,
so
you
already
have
come
in
for
two
years.
Okay.
My
question
concern
is
also
the
scope.
I
think
that
this
is
it's
good.
I
can't
see
too
much
of
you
know
anything
else
you
can
do,
but
I'm
just
thinking
that,
maybe
you
know
instead
of
limiting
it,
it
may
be.
That's
all
you
need,
but
there
might
be
other
additional.
D
You
know
things
that
you
might
want
to
consider
which
I
don't
we
have.
We
don't
know
what
the
specific
detail
right,
you're
going
to
make
the
ifp.
So
when
you
send
out
the
ifp,
are
you
going
to
go
to?
Who
are
you
going
to?
I
like
to
say
your
major
is
underserved
under
law
communities
you're
going
to
build
capacity?
I
always
want
to
remind
you
tony.
You
know
what
I'm
talking
about.
You
know
bridge
the
gap,
build
capacity
right.
D
I
think
that's
important,
so
I
want
to
know
we
should
include
the
non-tradition
of
folks,
like
you
know,
didn't
I
didn't
see
a
few
of
them
like
acis.
D
You
know
like
people
who
are
the
indigenous
americans,
that's
important,
very
much
so
and
other
asian
groups.
You
know
vietnamese
korean
pacific
islanders,
filipinos,
there's
a
lot
of
them
right,
so
I
just
want
to
be
sure
you
know
your
scope
does
not
limit.
You
know
actually
should
be
expanded,
okay
and
like
what
what
they
are.
D
You
know,
I
trust
you
that
you,
when
you
are
sending
out
the
ifp,
that
you
know
you
are
going
to
be
inclusive
and
if
you
don't
have
them
please
make
effort,
because
I
know
you
can
do
that
to
find
them.
Okay,
and
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
start
beginning,
and
this
is
basically
what
my
goal
is.
Y
Y
Y
Absolutely
agreed,
we
will
be
doing
broad
outreach
when
we
issue
the
rfp
and
seeking
applications
from
as
many
diverse,
whether
they
are
currently
funded
or
not,
agencies,
as
we
can
find
100
agreed.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
D
Yeah
yeah,
you
know
I
was
going
to
ask
you.
How
do
you
choose
these,
you
know
and
this
these
people,
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you
how
I
know
you're
going
to
figure
out
how
to
do
it?
Okay,
if
you
don't
we're
here
to
help
you
well
the
human.
Y
Sure
absolutely
mayor,
so
the
the
first
primary
effort
will
be
the
outreach
for
ensuring
that
various
agencies
in
our
community
know
that
it's
an
opportunity
to
apply,
and
so
that
will
be
a
primary
means
that
we
reach
out
to
agencies
that
may
be
reaching
populations
that
are
currently
underserved
once
those
applications
come
back
staff
to
perform
a
review,
and
then
they
go
to
the
commission.
Y
The
priorities
that
we
have
named
specifically
call
out
the
need
for
services
that
are
culturally
responsive
to
historically
underserved
communities,
and
so
that
is
part
of
the
direction
that
will
be
given
to
the
commission
in
their
review
is
to
prioritize
those
applications.
Along
with
the
other
priorities
named
this
evening.
H
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
tony
for
all
your
work,
I
mean,
I
think,
acting
with
urgency.
This
is
amazing.
We're
gonna
get
going
with
this.
I
I
agree
that
this
is
the
right
focus
of
those
three
areas,
especially
co-location
of
being
able
to
have
the
behavioral
health
services,
as
well
as
the
substance
use
disorder.
H
H
H
I
am
curious
about
on
the
rental
assistance,
how
this
dovetails
with
the
american
rescue
plan,
money
that
we're
getting
and
how
that
might
play
into
monies
that
are
available
and
related
to
seniors
aging
in
place
that
may
be
homebound.
Are
we
also
looking
at
potentially
some
mobile
mental
mental
health
support
or
funding
more
within
our
cares
program?
H
And
then,
when
you
talk
about
the
1.8
million,
including
staff
costs,
can
you
give
me
a
sense
for
how
much
of
the
1.8
will
actually
go
out
as
grant
funding
versus
staff
time
and
then?
Lastly,
the
question
about
the
the
funding,
so
it's
1.8
this
year
and
the
application
will
say
based
on
your
performance
you're
eligible
for
a
follow-on
of
the
additional
funding
in
your
number
two.
Is
that
right?
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that.
But
anyway
I
I
really
love
what
we're
doing.
I
just
it
just
spurred
some
questions.
Thanks.
Y
I'm
happy
to
answer
some
of
those
for
you
this
evening,
council
members
on.
Thank
you
for
those
questions
relative
to
how
does
this
dovetail
with
the
american
rescue
plan,
so
decisions
were
made
for
the
priorities
based
on
what
we've
heard
from
the
data
from
the
community,
also
knowing
that
we
know
right
now
the
parameters
of
these
dollars
and
we
do
not
yet
have
direction
for
the
rescue
plan
dollars.
Y
So
as
these
applications
come
back
and
they
are
presented
to
the
commission,
a
factor
that
the
commission
always
considers
is
if
there's
new
or
emerging
funding
on
the
table
that
could
meet
some
of
the
needs
and,
as
you
know,
we
always
receive
more
applications
than
we
have
funding
for,
and
that
would
be
one
of
the
ways
that
they
may
be
able
to
choose
to
prioritize.
It
is
if
we
have
more
direction
on
the
rescue
plan
dollars
at
that
time.
We
just
do
not
right
now
the
homebound
seniors.
I
would
absolutely
agree.
Y
That's
a
a
prime
priority
population
that
would
need
services,
and
so
that
would
depend
on
if
we
received
applications
for
those
services,
but
I
would
definitely
think
it
fits
the
criteria
of
underserved
populations,
as
mentioned
in
the
potential
rfp.
Y
The
two-year
funding
the
language
that
we're
suggesting
is
the
same
that
we
use
for
all
of
our
contracts
for
human
services
funding,
which
is
that
they
are
told
in
advance
that
our
contracts
are
renewed
for
a
second
year
determinant
upon
funding
and
contract
performance.
So
we're
not
imposing
something
new,
we're
imposing
the
same
process
that
we
always
use
in
our
contracts
and
then
to
the
staffing
time.
P
Well,
I
think
this
is
a
home
run.
I
really
really
like
how
staff
has
set
this
up.
It's
obvious
that
you
guys
have
been
listening
to
council,
because
we
talk
a
lot
over
the
many
years
about
what
can
we
do
to
prevent
homelessness
to
make
sure
that
people?
You
know,
that's
so
much
cheaper
to
keep
people
housed
than
to
try
to
house
them
after
they've
lost
their
homes.
So
I
think
that
that's
critical,
I
think
the
behavioral
health
is
excellent.
That
will
help
get
to
the
root
cause
of
both
homelessness
and
poverty.
P
So
I'm
very
big
supporter
of
that
and
the
rental
assistance
and
supportive
system
services
are
kind
of
combined
in
the
helping
prevent
homelessness,
helping
keep
people
moving,
because
we
want
people
who
are
here
to
you
know,
live
and
succeed
and
thrive.
So
I'm
two
big
thumbs
up
on
this
and
I
guess
I
would
just
make
the
comment
and
I
believe
that
we
have
it.
I
I
like
that
we
that
you
said
in
answering
councilmember
zone's
question
tony,
that
the
grants
are
renewable
subject
to
funding
and
performance.
P
I
think
making
sure
that
we
are
tracking
outcomes
is
gonna,
because
this
is
the
first
year
of
the
start
of
this,
of
this
revenue
source
to
really
help
the
people
of
this
city
and
if
we
track
outcomes
and
see
what
programs
and
which
service
providers
have
the
best
outcomes.
That's
going
to
make
sure
that
this
money
is
used
well,
not
just
in
year,
one
but
in
all
the
out
years
to
come.
P
So
I
that
measurements
and
the
metrics
and
the
following
people,
because
I
know
that
in
a
lot
of
human
services,
not
necessarily
in
bellevue,
but
the
data
that
you
get
is
not
necessarily
helpful
in
evaluating
how
effective
a
program
is.
So
I
hope
that
we
will
be
very
diligent
working
with
our
partners
that
we're
funding
and
getting
the
right
data
so
that
we
can
analyze
how
effective
these
programs
are.
Do
they
keep
people?
Health
are.
How
are
the
people
doing
in
the
years
following?
Have
they
kept
their
apartments?
P
Have
they
returned
to
sobriety
and
gotten
jobs
and
housing
and
stability,
etc,
etc?
To
the
extent
that
we
can
do
that,
I
think
it
will
make
us
that
much
more
effective
as
we
use
the
money
going
forward.
So
I'm
ready
to
vote
yes
as
soon
as
everyone's
had
their
say.
No
questions
for
you
just
some
comments.
Thanks
councilmember.
C
All
right,
thank
you,
so
really
appreciate
the
work
that
you
all
have
done.
Tony
man,
I
agree
with
the
priorities
that
you've
set
out.
My
only
question
is
around,
as
we
do
the
outreach
to
the
smaller
and
less
maybe
organizations
that
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
work
with
in
the
past
will
could
some
of
the
administrators
some
of
the
funds
be
in
terms
of
administration,
be
used
for
technical
assistance,
not
just
for
the
application,
but
also
to
help
with
evaluating
performance.
Y
Thank
you
councilmember
bucks,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
your
question
correctly
and
I
apologize.
I
seem
to
have
something
in
my
throat.
Are
you
suggesting
that
the
some
of
the
staffing
funds
could
be
used
for
technical
assistance?
Y
Yes,
so
absolutely
if,
if
additional
staffing
is
needed,
that
also
takes
time
to
add,
but
throughout
the
process
of
the
contracts,
if
we
are
able
to
increase
staffing
in
response
to
what
is
needed,
which
will
come
back
with
that
information
to
you
all,
then
most,
certainly
that
would
be
built
in,
in
our
estimation
of
the
time
necessary
for
staffing.
C
A
Okay,
I
just
again
want
to
commend
you
for
working
so
quickly
on
this.
This
was
all
new
to
us
when
we
took
this
vote
and
you
were
starting
from
zero
and
creating
a
program
to
disperse
this
money
in
a
thoughtful
and-
and
you
know,
it's
just
gonna
change
lives
so
much
and
I
think
change
bellevue
as
well
for
the
better.
So
I'm
just
really
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
A
I
am
a
huge
proponent
of
same-day
services
and
all
my
work
on
the
mental
illness,
drug
dependency
advisory
committee,
my
work
on
east
side,
human
service
forum.
I
work
on
the
human
services
commission
and
is
a
degree
in
community
services.
I
really
believe
in
same-day
services,
so
I
love
the
emphasis
on
that.
A
Getting
people
the
help
they
need
when
they
need
it.
I
have
two
questions,
I'd
like
to
know
if
you
can
just
kind
of
talk
about
how
this
kind
of
funding
is
going
to
help
our
current
homeless
population,
that
we
have
the
people
that
we
have
living
out
on
our
sidewalks
in
our
in
our
public
property
and
the
people
in
the
shelters
in
our
community,
and
also-
I
just
I
thought
of
this
during
your
presentation.
Can
we
use
this
money
to
fund
if
we
choose
to
a
mental
health
professional
for
emergency
services?
A
Y
Absolutely
thank
you
mayor
I'll
I'll
start
with
your
second
question.
My
response
to
that
would
be.
I
would
need
to
consult
and
get
more
guidance
from
legal
on
if
these
funds
can
be
redirected
for
internal
programs.
I'm
unclear
on
that.
So
we
will
research
that
and
get
back
to
you
and
again,
unless
one
of
the
other
team
members
has
already
done
that
research
and
wants
to
to
chime
in.
Y
We
have
some
other
great
people
here
as
well,
but
to
your
question
around
how
this
funding
could
potentially
impact
those
in
our
community
that
are
homeless
or
unhoused,
that's
an
excellent
question,
and
so
throughout
these
priorities
the
hope
is
that
this
will
both
be
impactful
for
those
that
are
unstable
in
their
housing
and
those
that
are
unhoused
right
now
and
so,
particularly
as
we
look
through
the
priorities.
Y
Specifics
that
are
called
out
that
will
make
a
particular
impact
on
our
homeless.
Population
are
are
the
same
day.
Mental
health
and
substance
use
disorder,
assessments
in
treatment
and
medically
assisted
treatment,
while
addiction
is
not
a
cause
for
every
person
that
is
homeless,
it
definitely
is
a
contributing
factor,
and
so
that
alone
will
have
a
significant
impact.
Y
In
particular,
two
types
of
rental
assistance
were
called
out,
one
for
those
that
are
in
crisis
that
are
in
housing,
but
also
another
form,
in
particular,
for
those
that
are
unhoused
or
homeless,
move
in
assistance,
and
so
that
could
have
a
dramatic
impact
on
an
individual's
ability
to
move
from
homelessness
to
housing.
A
I
W
Thank
you
mayor.
We
will
be
back
in
four
to
six
weeks
to
continue
the
discussion
around
creating
the
capital,
the
the
creation
of
the
actual,
affordable
housing
themselves,
and
you
will
see
after
the
rfp
comes
back,
that
move
forward
to
the
human
services
commission.
Y
The
rfp
will
be
issued
the
week
of
may
the
10th.
I
don't
believe
we
will
bring
it
back
to
council.
We
will
take
your
direction
this
happening
and
go
ahead
and
issue
that
perfect.
