A
Well,
welcome
to
the
city
of
bellevue
regular
council
meeting
for
monday
october
5th
2020.
welcome
everybody.
First,
we'll
start
with
roll
call
mayor.
C
D
E
A
Thank
you.
So
one
thing
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
since
we've
been
meeting
remotely
is
our
flag
salute,
and
I
know
that
the
council
members
we've
all
missed,
doing
that
and
I
think
our
city
has
missed
it
as
well.
So
I
believe
charmaine
has
found
a
way
for
us
to
do
this
virtually
tonight
and
I'm
going
to
ask
councilmember
barksdale
to
lead
us
in
the
flag
salute.
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay
agenda's
approved
now
we're
on
to
oral
communications
city
clerk.
Do
we
have
any
oral
communications
for
tonight?
Thank.
I
Excellent
evening,
council
members,
christopher
randles
15421
southeast
4th
place
98007,
I'm
speaking
to
you
tonight,
actually
as
a
private
citizen,
but
with
grave
concerns
regarding
the
nominees
to
the
transportation
commission
this
evening
for
full
disclosure.
Although
I
myself
had
applied
for
a
commissioner
position
and
I
did
not
move
forward
in
the
process,
I
am
excited
by
the
prospect
of
helping
shape
the
city's
transportation
future
by
other
means.
I
I
I
would
first
like
to
draw
attention
to
mr
derek
jeldinhais
real
estate
agent
and
management
consultant
concerningly.
His
twitter
account
contains
racist
and
derogatory
remarks
addressed
to
public
officials
and
private
citizens.
I
have
sent
correspondence
to
council
containing
images
and
links
to
examples
of
racist,
homophobic
and
egregious
content
that
he
has
posted
and
is
my
understanding
that
he
has
since
withdrawn
himself
from
consideration.
I
This
is
the
right
decision,
but
I
question
why
it's
a
correspondence
with
city
staff
and
community
outrage
on
social
media
to
bring
this
issue
to
the
city's
attention.
Mr
jalden
heisen's
twitter
page
is
the
third
result
on
a
google
search
of
his
name
and
even
basic
vetting
would
uncover
information
that
proves
this
person
is
not
fit
to
serve
bellevue.
I
strongly
urge
council
and
city
staff
to
alter
commission
nominee
procedures
so
that
we
do
not
solely
rely
on
interviewees
answers
and
self-reported
qualifications
when
making
a
decision.
I
Next.
Mrs
christina
beatson
is
the
vice
president
of
liberty
bank,
but
has
no
listed
transportation
experience
on
her
professional
profiles
and
although
I
find
it
important
to
respect
diverse
political
thought
from
most
matters
of
public
interest,
ms
beason
also
declared
herself
as
a
republican
to
vote
on
the
party's
washington
state
presidential
primary
this
year.
I
While
I
sympathize
with
council
members
aversion
to
partisanship,
I
find
this
information
is
relevant
to
her
ability
to
serve
on
this
commission,
because
this
body
will
be
tasked
with
multimodal
road
improvements
to
facilitate
both
vision,
zero
and
environmental
stewardship
goals
to
increase
traffic
safety
and
climate
change
action.
However,
the
state
gop
platform
still
does
not
acknowledge
the
scientific
reality
of
climate
change,
demeans
complete
streets
programs
as
a
quote
squandering
of
our
limited
transportation
funding,
and
thus
fails
to
acknowledge
the
importance
that
modifying
our
transportation
system
will
have
in
addressing
environmental
and
safety
issues.
I
Not
only
is
this
thinking
counter
to
the
latest
science,
it
is
counter
to
bellevue's
own
stated
goals,
with
her
choice
and
publicly
associating
with
this
organization.
I
believe
the
city's
residents
deserve
more
information
regarding
ms
beason's
personal
perspectives
on
these
matters,
issues
which
she
will
have
great
power
over
during
her
four-year
term.
I
Finally,
mr
matthew
klutzner
as
the
general
manager
of
the
shops
of
the
bravern,
a
holder
of
real
estate
licenses
along
the
west
coast
and
a
graduate
of
business
administration.
I
am
also
unaware
as
to
what
precise
transportation
qualifications
mr
clustering
possesses,
that
may
communicate,
prepared
to
address
the
challenges.
Bellevue
will
be
facing
challenges
like
accommodating
for
our
growth
in
sustainable
equitable
ways,
protecting
all
road
users
from
the
dangers
of
traffic
violence,
creating
a
21st
century
transportation
system
that
addresses
a
significant
impact
that
transportation
presently
has
on
climate
change.
I
B
B
Okay,
I'm
going
to
circle
back
to
mr
bowman.
The
next
speaker
would
be
alison
house.
J
J
I'm
concerned
that
outreach
about
the
forums
will
not
reach
those
members
of
the
community
who
may
not
have
had
positive
interactions
with
the
police
in
the
past
and
who
might
have
valuable
insights
to
share.
Can
the
council
reassure
us
that
they
will
be
making
every
effort
to
reach
out
to
groups
that
feel
disenfranchised
and
unheard
as
well
as
to
bellevue
residents
who
have
limited
or
no
access
to
the
internet?
J
In
addition,
there
may
be
members
of
our
community
who,
for
various
reasons,
do
not
feel
comfortable
sharing
their
views
and
experiences
in
a
public
setting.
I
would
hope
that
this
is
being
taken
into
account
in
the
planning
of
the
forums
and
that
there
will
be
a
way
to
offer
confidential
feedback
to
the
review.
Thank
you.
C
C
Yeah
the
what
I'd
like
to
talk
to
you
today,
a
little
bit
about
is
the
bellevue
esp
plan
draft
esd
plan.
As
you
can
see
here,
the
ipc
report
in
2018,
they
talked
about
the
we
need
to
get
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
down
by
50
by
2030
or
the
basically,
we
have.
No,
no
amount
of
intervention
will
stop
the
climate
progression
across
the
entire
planet.
So
the
problem
I
see
with
the
bellevue
draft
dsp
plan
is
in
the
energy
section
and
it
does
not
address
anything
in
the
pipe
gas
in
any
meaningful
way.
C
Even
if
you
look
at
the
bellevue
data,
that's
provided
in
the
draft
plan.
92
percent
of
the
greenhouse
gas
comes
from
buildings
and
transportation.
50
plus
percent
of
those
greenhouse
gases
comes
from
existing
buildings.
The
largest
single
contributor,
46
percent
of
the
entire
energy
used
within
the
bellevue
community,
comes
from
natural
gas.
To
me,
that's
the
elephant
in
the
room
and
the
opportunity
to
be
addressed
next
chart.
Please.
C
So
climate
change,
it's
real
and
it
needs
to
be
addressed
with
aggressive
leading-edge
approach.
90-Plus
percent
of
bellevue
residents
want
the
council
to
take
leading
edge
and
bold
actions.
The
draft
esp
plan
talks
about
studies
and
exploration
and
long-term
considerations,
which,
in
my
opinion,
is
just
kicking
the
ball
down
the
road.
It's
not
addressing
it.
Approaches
and
technologies
exist
today
that
are
cost
effective
to
address
greenhouse
gases
and
they're
being
used
elsewhere
around
the
country
and
on
the
planet.
C
Greenhouse
gas,
aggressive
greenhouse
gas
creates
jobs
and
better
quality
of
life
for
the
individuals.
The
draft
dsp
is
weak.
It's
up
to
you.
The
leadership
team
to
take
responsibility,
move
us
forward.
If
you
look
at
the
current
opportunities,
we
have
rezoning
in
east
maine,
wilburton
bell
red
lakewood
make
those
a
zero
emission
zone.
Other
actions
bellevue
can
take
stand
up
to
a
big
sustaining
director,
as
many
cities
are
doing,
they
can
lead
across
the
department's
report
to
the
mayor
follow
the
direction
that
a
large
majority
of
the
city
council
has
been
indicating.
C
Take
a
strong
action
on
climate
authorize,
a
citizens,
climate
action
advisory
group
to
help
accelerate
the
city's
actions
and
educate
your
residents
on
the
importance
of
taking
action.
We're
we're
smart
people.
Bellevue
is
a
unique
place
and
we
will
support
you
in
these
actions.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
K
K
L
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
city
council
members.
This
is
mallory
van
alpema
with
the
housing
development
consortium
or
hdc,
and
tonight
I
am
commenting
to
share
our
gratitude
for
all
the
efforts,
elected
leaders,
city
staff,
stakeholders,
both
from
the
community
and
organizations,
have
invested
to
push
forward
the
important
work
laid
out
in
bellevue's,
affordable
housing
strategy
plan,
and
I'm
also
here
to
urge
swift
action
on
the
remaining
goals
that
were
identified
by
the
technical
advisory
group
in
2017..
L
L
Robust
economic
growth
was
clear
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
continued
for
many
who
are
members
of
the
professional
class
and
have
been
able
to
adapt
to
new
business
and
working
conditions.
The
folks
that
are
being
left
behind
were
the
same
folks,
navigating
a
paycheck
to
paycheck
reality.
Pre
covet
19.
L
they're
the
people
who
are
educating
future
generations,
keeping
the
community
safe
and
clean
meeting
the
basic
and
secondary
needs
of
bellevue
residents.
Among
countless
other
important
roles,
they
are
essential.
The
number
of
essential
workers
will
grow
in
accordance
with
the
city's
anticipated
growth
and
the
number
of
cost
burdened
and
insecurely
housed
seniors.
Folks
with
disabilities,
students,
families
and
individuals
will
grow
unless
the
city
expedites
the
enactment
of
the
affordable
housing
strategy
goals.
L
Updating
the
mfte
program
to
ensure
it's
adequately
calibrated
is
something
we
deeply
support.
However,
this
program
is
not
going
to
meet
the
housing
needs
of
folks
with
very
low
and
extremely
low
incomes,
which
the
city's
own
housing
needs
assessment
identified
as
having
the
greatest
need
for
housing
options.
L
I
know
I
would
like
to
live
in
the
city
that
I
work
in,
and
I
suspect
the
same
is
for
many
in
the
bellevue
workforce
who
are
financially
unable
to
do
so
and
whether
very
long
commutes
to
get
into
their
work
htc
stands
ready
to
support
a
productive
partnership
with
the
city
and
the
urgent
need
for
affordable
housing
options
has
only
grown,
and
we
appreciate
everything
the
city
and
staff
can
do
to
meet
this
moment.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
listening
to
me
this
evening.
A
A
A
Nomin
nominations
like
this,
based
on
social
media
and
social
media,
is
kind
of
a
new
thing
for
our
city
in
the
last
five
years.
I
think
it's
taken
on
a
life
of
itself
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there
is
a
way
in
the
criteria
for
selection.
A
If
we
can
examine
some
other
criteria,
I
think
we
need
to
just
look
at
the
criteria
for
nominating
somebody,
and
it
should
include
probably
their
social
media
background
or
not.
But
we
should
have
that
conversation
because
it's
out
there
for
the
public
to
see-
and
it
hasn't
been
something
that
we
have
considered
in
the
past,
and
I
just
would
like
the
council
to
have
a
conversation
about
the
criteria
we
use
to
make
our.
A
Selections
if
we
can
put
that
somewhere
on
our
either
our
retreat
or
some
study
session
or
something
I
would
just
like
to
address
that
a
little
bit,
because
I
don't
want
people
being
afraid
to
apply
for
a
board
or
commission
that
they're
gonna
get
shamed
publicly
by
the
by
the
community
who
just
looks
at
one
aspect
of
their
background
and
makes
a
judgment
on
it.
You
know
that's
not
what
this
is
about,
but
I
also
think
we
need
to
have
a
solid.
A
View
of
what
this
person
represents,
if
they're
going
to
represent
the
city,
so
I
think
we
just
need
a
little
more
information
and
we
also
need
to
have
a
system
that
makes
it
more
civil
for
people
to
be
appointed
on
a
boarding
commission.
E
So
mayor,
this
is
the
same
manager.
We
could
certainly
look
for
date
and
time,
as
you
mentioned,
either
on
a
study
session
or
a
council
retreat
topic
to
bring
that
matter
up.
E
Yes,
we
are
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
I
have
three
items
to
report
on
tonight.
I
just
want
the
first
one
is
just
to
point
out
something
on
your
consent:
counter
calendar
item
8b.
E
It's
awarding
the
construction
bid
for
the
northeast
12th
street
multi-purpose
path
on
108th
avenue,
212th
avenue
northeast,
I'm
pointing
you
south,
because
this
was
one
that
received
quite
a
bit
of
public
interest
in
the
in
the
project
as
it
went
for,
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
to
you,
I
had
two
other
items,
the
first,
the
next
one
is
really.
This
is
the
this
is
an
update
from
rei
regarding
the
recent
sale
of
their
planned
headquarters
in
the
bel
red
district.
E
Joining
us
this
evening
is
mike
mark
baraka,
the
director
of
government
and
community
affairs,
to
provide
more
information
to
express
thanks
for
the
partnership
with
the
city
over
the
past
several
years,
as
ra
has
expressed
in
their
communications
with
us
over
the
past
month.
I'd
also
like
to
note
the
importance
of
our
continued
partnership
opportunities
went
forward
and,
while
the
future
looks
different
than
anyone
expected
a
few
months
ago,
we
look
forward
to
a
continued
presence
by
rei
and
belgium,
the
region
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mark
mark.
E
M
Brad
and
thank
you,
madam
mayor,
thank
you
city,
council
charmaine.
Thank
you
for
setting
this
all
up.
I'm
gonna
share
my
screen
since
I
have
a
few
slides
to
guide
the
conversation
and
illustrate
what
a
beautiful
city
you
all
oversee.
M
You
know,
I
think,
when
I
first
showed
up
on
behalf
of
rei,
co-op
in
front
of
council.
Just
over
four
years
ago,
we
had
just
coined
as
a
co-op.
This
notion
it's
just
a
crystallization
of
what
we
stand
for
over
the
course
of
our
80
years
of
existence,
and
that
is
that
a
life
outdoors
is
a
life,
well
lived,
and
it's
wonderful
to
be
able
to
say
that
with
the
skyline
and
the
shoreline
of
bellevue.
M
M
This
is
this
is
a
report
that
we
co-produced
for
a
bunch
of
cities
around
the
country
a
couple
years
ago,
using
data
from
trust
for
public
land,
and
it
just
indicates,
among
other
things,
that
bellevue
has
54
acres
of
public
land
within
a
16-minute
drive
of
home
and
and
that
the
national
average
is
36
acres
within
a
short
drive
of
home.
M
That's
per
capita,
that's
the
number
of
acres
per
capita.
So
it's
an
extraordinary
amount
of
access
that
the
city
of
bellevue
has
88
of
bellevue
residents
are
within
a
10-minute
walk
of
a
park.
The
national
average
is
55,
so
you
all
are
stewarding
a
wonderful
city
in
terms
of
its
access
to
green
space.
And
again
that's
one
of
the
things
that
attracted
us.
M
I
would
just
say
that
in
the
intervening
years
as
we
built
out
in
the
spring
district
and
and
engaged
more
and
more
deeply
into
to
the
bellevue
community,
specifically
that
you
know
it
just
was
fulfilling
every
one
of
our
hopes.
M
M
We
went
ahead
and
have
been
building
this
state-of-the-art,
sustainable
campus
on
the
east
side
there
in
the
spring
district
and
though
we're
never
moving
into
it
and
well.
That
brings
a
tear
to
the
eye
of
a
lot
of
people
who
work
for
rei,
who
wanted
to
populate
this
building
and
and
be
proud
of
the
sustainable
work
style
near
mass
transit
near
bike
lanes
near
protected
bike
lanes.
M
We
are
proud
to
at
least
as
we
move
to
a
more
dispersed
headquarters
scenario.
We
are
glad
to
be
able
to
leave
for
the
city
of
bellevue,
this
national
exemplar
and
potentially
a
international
exemplar
of
what
a
livable
sustainable
corporate
campus
can
be.
M
You
know
we
built
it
so
that
we
would
meet
as
many
of
those
lead
and
sustainability
standards
as
possible
and
we're
confident
in
our
conversations
with
at
least
with
our
colleagues
at
facebook
that
they
in
part
bought
bought
the
property
from
us
because,
like
for
us,
the
satisfaction,
the
gratification
of
their
employees
that
comes
from
working
at
a
place
that
is
so
sustainable,
is
important
to
them
as
well.
M
I
want
to
emphasize
that,
while
we
can
take
a
snapshot
of
where
we've
been
as
a
partnership
and
where
we
are
today
that
we
are
as
brad
indicated
rolling
forward,
and
we
continue
to
look
at
bellevue
as
a
partner
of
ours.
Luckily,
on
my
team,
we
have
great
relationships
with
our
counterparts
at
facebook.
If
you
haven't
met
these
two,
yet
I'd
encourage
you
to
do
so.
Stephen
ue
is,
is
the
lead
representative
to
this
area,
and
sarah
loscani
is
another
wonderful
person.
M
M
These
are
a
few
of
the
pictures
of
events
that
we
participated
in
organizations
that
we
supported
during
the
build
out
of
the
campus.
We
have
you
know,
fight
folks,
celebrating
bike
lanes,
folks
celebrating
protected
bike
lanes,
the
east
side,
rail
corridor
or
east
trail,
and
we
have
folks
celebrating
access
access
to
lake
washington.
M
This
type
of
engagement
with
the
city
by
rei,
by
rei
employees
and
by
our
members,
is
going
to
consider
continue
as
part
of
our
announcement.
I'm
sure
you
all
heard.
I
think
I
sent
you
all
an
email
that
we
have
committed
alongside
facebook
to
invest
at
least
a
million
dollars
of
our
own
money,
facebook,
its
own
million
dollars-
to
support
a
capital
project
that
will
help
flesh
out
east
trail
and
make
the
vision
that
you
all
have
been
working
on
for
so
many
years.
All
that
much
closer
to
reality.
M
M
We
look
forward
to
using
our
store
as
a
hub,
as
I
mentioned,
but
the
boat
house
when
it
was
open
and
when
we
were
renting
kayaks
out
of
it
was
an
enormous
jumping
off
point,
both
figuratively
and
literally,
for
our
employees
and
for
our
members
to
enjoy
all
that.
All
that
bellevue
has
to
offer
in
terms
of
water
access,
so
we'll
see
where
those
conversations
go
once
this
type
of
activity
becomes
more
more
feasible
from
a
public
health
perspective.
M
I
just
flagged
this
picture
because
it's
indicative
of
us
being
still
present
in
the
bellevue
community,
as
I
wrap
I
just
want
to
throw
here
on
the
slide
for
you
to
look
at
and
absorb
and
for
anybody
from
the
bellevue
community
who's
watching
tonight
to
absorb
the
the
total
number
of
people
in
the
number
of
divisions
within
city
government
who
were
and
continue
to
be
such
great
partners
with
rei
co-op.
M
It's
just
very,
very
heartening,
as
somebody
who
works
for
a
for-profit
entity,
albeit
a
co-op
who
works
for
a
for-profit
entity
to
find
parts
of
city,
government
and
staff
at
city
government
who
are
just
so
willing
to
embrace
a
shared
vision,
and
you
can
see
that
we
have
a
wealth
of
connectivity
with
the
parks
and
community
community
services
group.
I
mentioned
the
house.
Your
transportation
team
was
phenomenal.
M
Likewise,
your
communications
team,
the
city
manager,
was
awesome.
The
council
was
great
as
well.
I
know,
there's
been
some
change
over,
but
your
support
throughout
has
been
wonderful
and
then
we
fleshed
out
these
not-for-profit
partnerships
as
a
result
of
our
our
engagement
over
the
course
of
the
past
couple
years.
So
you
know
with
that.
I
just
want
to
say
again
a
big
thank
you
from
rei
co-op
and
while
it
was
a
great
adventure
building
a
headquarters
and
we
all
should
be
proud
of
that
facility,
the
relationship
will
continue.
A
Thank
you
mark,
I'm
just
going
to
say
thank
you
for
the
whole
council
for
the
inspiration
from
rei
to
get
the
east
trail
going
and
and
get
the
connections
going
that
we
need
to
do
you
you've
inspired
us
and
you
will
continue
to
inspire
us
and
and
there's
a
great
life
to
be
had
outdoors
in
bellevue,
thanks
in
part
to
rei.
So
thank
you
for
your
influence.
M
Yeah
my
dream
was
to
get
an
e-bike
and
commute
by
e-bike
using
east
trail,
and
even
though
that
might
not
be
my
next
commute.
Who
knows,
I
don't
know
where
the
satellite
facilities
are
going
to
show
up,
I'm
still
going
to
get
that
get
that
e-bike
and
I'm
going
to
go
up
and
down
east
track.
I'm
sure.
E
E
You
all
right
moving
on
our
next
item
on
the
manager
report
is
really
like
a
it's
a
good
news
story.
I'm
just
so
pleased
to
announce
the
to
the
council
that
the
city
was
recently
recognized
by
4-4
public
technology
institute,
also
known
as
pti
awards
in
three
categories:
one
in
emergency
technology
applications,
another
in
geospatial
information
systems
and
sustainability.
E
Pti's
award
annual
award
program
recognizes
local
governments
for
their
interview,
innovative
technology
to
enhance
service
delivery,
reduced
costs
and
to
approve
operations
here.
To
tell
us
more
about
the
awards
is
sabre
snyder.
Our
chief
information
officer,
who,
in
large
part
is,
is
why
we're
getting
this
award
so
sabra.
N
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki
and
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
and
council
members,
city
manager,
miyaki,
is
very
kind.
These
awards
are
definitely
the
results
of
a
lot
of
hard
work
of
I.t
staff
and
partnerships
across
the
city.
N
The
application
helps
both
staff
and
systems
further
manage
traffic
during
potential
disruptions,
ideally
helping
bellevue
residents
and
businesses
get
around
more
easily
when
traffic
is
disrupted.
You
may
recall
this
is
the
second
award
for
this
application.
The
first
was
a
transportation
systems,
management
and
operations
award
from
the
national
operations
center
of
excellence.
N
N
This
platform
helps
ensure
the
continuity
of
water
meter,
data
and
usage
from
the
ground
installation
to
the
customer
data
next
slide.
Please
thank
you.
In
the
emerging
technology,
category
bellevue
was
recognized
for
two
projects.
The
first
is
a
public-facing
chat,
bot
that
was
launched
to
help
answer
frequently
asked
questions
about
covid19.
N
As
you
may
remember,
robotic
process
automation
provides
a
platform
to
automate
complex
manual
processes,
thus
freeing
up
internal
human
resources
for
higher
value
work.
Bellevue
is
very
honored
by
the
recognition
from
the
public
technology
institute
and
thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening
to
talk
about
these
awards.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
so
we're
on
to
recommendations
for
the
transportation
commission,
council
member
robertson.
Would
you
like
to
put
forward
your
recommendations.
K
Yes,
I
would
thank
you
very
much
mayor
I'd
like
to
go
through
a
little
longer,
because
we've
had
some
public
comment
on
this
talk
about
the
the
procedures
and
then
talk
about
the
candidates
who
I'm
putting
forward.
First,
we
had
27
applicants
and
we
offered
interviews
to
12.
K
K
You
know
it's
so
hard
to
choose
in
bellevue,
because
we
have
so
many
wonderful
candidates,
and
I
know
that
you
probably
join
me
in
finding
that
to
be
the
hardest
part.
The
two
candidates
that
I'm
putting
forward
tonight
scored
in
the
top
by
the
panel
based
on
their
thoughtful
approach,
extensive
board
and
civic
engagement,
experience,
interest
and
experience
with
community
building
and
transportation
per
our
process.
The
names
were
provided
to
council
a
week
before
they
were
printed
in
the
agenda.
K
We
have
a
process
that
we
follow
to
vet
these
volunteers.
None
of
that
should
ever
include
trying
to
determine
political
affiliation,
which
I
did
not
do.
Nor
should
the
candidates
be
screened
for
that,
in
fact,
it
to
do
so
is
a
violation
of
the
code
which
specifically
says
commission
members
shall
be
appointed
without
respect
to
political
affiliation.
K
We've
never
done
that
and
in
my
11
years
on
council,
and
I
never
do.
Furthermore,
the
reason
that
we
interview
is
to
determine
qualifications
and,
most
importantly,
ability
to
work
in
a
group
with
fellow
commissioners
generally,
we
do
not
look
for
people
who
are
technical
experts
for
boards
and
commissions,
as
that
role
is
served
by
our
trusted
and
very
competent
staff.
K
Commission
members,
rather,
are
meant
to
be
engaged
and
smart
members
of
our
community
work
in
a
group
with
the
assistance
of
staff
to
help
the
council
implement
its
vision,
but
who
don't
have
their
own
particular
agenda
in
why
they
are
seeking
to
serve
because
they
are
there
to
serve
the
public,
not
any
particular
advocacy
group.
I
also
personally
look
for
people
who
live
in
different
parts
of
the
city
that
we
can
so
that
we
can
get
as
much
geographic
representation
as
possible.
K
I
also
look
for
a
history
of
positive
public
involvement
and
board
experience.
That's
because
that
shows
that
they
are
able
to
work
in
that
kind
of
setting
where
they're
aboard
they're,
not
the
staff
they
they
work
at
the
direction
of
the
council,
with
the
staff
and
for
the
transportation
commission.
I
look
for
people
who
truly
buy
into
the
multimodal
approach
that
we
need
to
make
our
city
work
and
I
hope
that
having
members
of
the
public
come
forward
to
denigrate
people
that
are
up
for
appointment
will
not
be
the
new
normal.
K
That
would
be
the
antithesis
of
what
I've
always
considered
to
be
the
bellevue
way,
which
is
that
we
engage
civilly
with
each
other
on
the
issues
and
not
in
personal
attacks.
That
said,
let
me
tell
you
about
the
two
people
I'm
really
excited
to
put
up
for
appointment.
Tonight.
First
is
matthew
klutznick.
K
He
currently
lives
in
the
wilberton
area
and
is
the
general
manager
of
the
braver
he's
a
member
of
the
board
of
chamber
the
bellevue
chamber
board
of
directors
and
has
been
working
on
transportation
issues
for
about
15
years,
specifically
working
with
employers
and
the
local
government
to
shift
employees
from
single
occupancy
vehicles
to
other
modes,
whether
it's
ped
bike
or
transit.
He's
done
this
work,
both
in
bellevue
and
in
california.
K
Christina
beason
is
my
second
appointment
for
tonight.
She
currently
lives
in
the
old
main
area
and
walks
everywhere,
including
to
work
she's
a
bank
vice
president,
with
an
extensive
record
of
civic
engagement
and
board
experience
in
bellevue
she's
been
involved
with
bellevue
boys
and
girls
club
united
way,
bellevue
rotary
youth
care
and
food
lifeline
where
she
chaired
the
fundraising
committee
specific
to
transportation.
She
previously
served
on
the
bellevue
downtown
association,
transportation.
Commission
committee
and
has
closely
followed
and
is
supportive
of
bellevue's
smart
mobility
plan.
K
She
brought
that
up
and
talked
about
that
a
lot
during
her
interview,
and
she
also
talked
about
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative
which
she
is
strongly
supportive
of,
and
she
loves
the
city
council's
adopted
vision
for
bellevue.
She
wants
to
help
move
more
people
in
all
modes,
particularly
in
light
of
the
significant
number
of
jobs
that
are
coming
to
bellevue
and
to
make
bellevue
a
safer
place
to
walk
and
bike.
K
She
was
particularly
concerned
about
road
safety
as
she
walks
everywhere
and
which
is,
of
course,
one
of
council's
priorities
for
how
we
envision
transportation
in
the
future.
So
both
had
great
interviews
both
were
highly
ranked
by
the
interview
panel,
and
I
think
that
they
will
both,
especially
because
of
all
their
board.
Experience
and
engagement
with
bellevue
will
make
great
transportation
commissioners
and
I
would
move
their
appointment.
A
P
C
A
A
E
All
right,
sorry
about
that,
as
you
mentioned,
there's
a
public
hearing
with
the
release
of
some
utility
easements.
These
easements
are
being
released
as
part
of
the
redevelopment
project
at
9625
northeast
a
street
following
the
public
hearing.
The
accounts
will
be
asked
to
take
an
action
on
the
proposed
ordinance
to
release
the
surplus
easements
and
for
a
brief
staff
report.
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
eric
mcdonnell
our
real
property
manager
and
our
finance
and
asset
management
department.
E
Q
The
property
is
being
redeveloped
and
as
a
part
of
the
permitting
process,
the
owner
has
requested
that
the
city
release
these
existing
easements
on
their
property.
The
two
public
utility
easements
in
question
were
reserved
by
city
by
by
the
city
in
street,
vacation
ordinances
that
were
passed
in
1959.
Q
These
areas
are
shown
in
solid
blue
for
97th
avenue,
northeast
and
orange
for
northeast
7th
street,
and
the
water
easement,
which
is
shown
in
blue
cross
hatching,
was
recorded
just
before
the
97th
avenue
northeast
street
vacation
in
1959
and
it
overlaps
the
vacated
area.
So
those
two
are
essentially
in
the
same
place
and
since
two
of
the
easements
were
created
through
street
vacation
ordinances.
We're
proposing
to
amend
those
ordinances
to
remove
the
easement
areas
from
the
property.
Q
As
part
of
their
permitting
requirements,
the
property
owner
will
be
dedicating
new
public
right-of-way,
as
well
as
utility
and
water
easements
along
the
north.
The
97th
avenue
northeast
alignment,
as
shown
on
this
slide
following
the
public
hearing
staff
request
council
action
on
the
proposed
ordinance
authorizing
the
release
of
the
water
easement
and
amendment
of
ordinances
329-338
to
release
the
public
utilities
from
the
subject
property.
This
ends
our
staff
report
and
will
be
available
for
any
questions
you
may
have
following
the
public
hearing.
B
There
were
no
individuals
signed
up
previously
to
speak
on
this
topic,
so
at
this
point
I
would
ask
if
there
is
anyone
connected
to
this
meeting,
who
wishes
to
make
a
public
statement
and
the
public
hearing?
If
so,
please
use
the
raise
hand
function
in
zoom
or
star
9
if
you're
connected
with
a
phone.
A
A
E
There
you
go
sorry
about
that,
keeps
making
the
same
mistake.
So
we,
as
you
mentioned,
we
have
three
study
session
topics
on
your
agenda
this
evening.
The
first
one
is
with
regard
to
the
public
safety
emergency
radio
network,
also
known
as
p
cern
tonight,
you're
going
to
receive
a
briefing
on
the
p
cern
system,
progress
and
the
operator
interlocal
agreement.
This
particular
topic
was
last
before
you.
E
On
april,
24th
of
2020
tonight's
king
county
staff
are
joining
us
to
provide
an
update
on
the
status
of
peace,
earn
on
the
peacert
project
and
we'll
explain
the
operator
interlocal
agreement,
which
will
create
a
new
nonprofit
government
agency
that
will
operate
pcern
and
henry
and
staff
tonight
is
seeking
council
direction
to
return
with
a
resolution
authorizing
execution
of
an
operator
in
a
local
agreement
on
a
future
consent
agenda
joining
us
this
evening
is
nathan
mccommon
our
deputy
city
manager
from
our
city
manager's
office,
as
well
as
chief
hagan
from
the
fire
department
and
from
the
county
david
mendel.
E
R
Thank
you
city,
minister
miyagi,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
new
in-house
and
council.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you
this
evening.
As
city
manager,
miaki
mentioned
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
We
are
looking
for
direction
council
to
bring
back
the
interlocal
agreement
at
a
future
council
meeting
today
marks
a
culmination
of
years
of
collaboration
and
co-ownership
in
our
radio
system
for
emergency
communications.
R
After
hearing
the
results
of
an
analysis
of
the
radio
system,
the
council
then
assigned
signed
on
to
another
interlocal
agreement
that
launched
the
transition
to
build
out
and
eventually
operate
a
new
state-of-the-art
system
and
broader
regional
partnership.
O
O
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
my
deputy
director,
kimberly
neuber,
who
is
also
online
and
available
tonight,
if
we
need
her
to
weigh
in
at
some
point.
Madam
mayor
and
council
members,
thank
you
for
having
us
here
tonight
for
the
next
few
minutes
I'll
quickly
go
through
our
presentation
and
hope
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
for
me,
providing
my
voice
holds
out
for
the
next
10
minutes
in
the
presentation
tonight.
O
O
The
project
is
fully
funded
through
a
2015
voter,
approved
property
tax
that
began
collections
in
2016
and
will
run
for
nine
years
in
early
2015,
the
12
partners
all
signed
an
interlocal
agreement
which
we
refer
to
as
the
implementation
ila.
This
agreement
set
up
the
peace
earned
project
governance.
O
O
O
One
of
our
most
remote
radio
sites
is
called
sovieski
out
near
skycomish
off
of
us
two
in
order
to
begin
work
at
that
site
this
this
summer
and
ensure
that
we
could
get
done
with
all
of
our
work.
Before
the
coming
winter,
we
had
to
plow
snow
to
open
up
access
to
the
site.
These
pictures
were
taken
in
very
early
july
to
do
those
that
work.
O
O
O
O
O
We
will
be
expanding
capacity
coverage
and
connectivity
significantly
compared
to
our
current
network.
Our
system
vendor,
is
under
contract
to
provide
support
throughout
the
20-year
anticipated
life
of
psern
once
formed,
the
pcrn
operator
will
be
a
single
service
provider
for
all
users
of
the
net
network.
Excuse
me,
the
pcrun
operator
will
have
uniform
rates,
operational
standards
and
performance
requirements
during
the
life
of
the
system.
The
psalm
operator
will
provide
ongoing
24
by
7
maintenance,
as
well
as
updates
and
upgrades
to
the
radio
infrastructure
and
dispatch
center
consoles
and
as
part
of
the
project.
O
O
O
O
O
O
This
slide
shows
our
top
three
risks.
We
have
mitigations
for
all
three
and
are
closely
monitoring
the
risks,
as
well
as
reporting
them
to
our
governing
board.
I
do
want
to
just
point
out
that
middle
risk.
I
apologize
for
the
acronym
in
the
in
the
text
there
it
stands
for.
Excuse
me.
Das
stands
for
distributed
antenna
systems.
O
O
O
O
O
I
know
it
can
be
hard
to
consider
entering
into
an
agreement
without
certainty
around
rates
and
costs.
Because
of
this
we
also
have
some
rate
stabilization
funding
to
offset
rate
increases
for
agencies,
the
project,
governance
and
the
peace
earned
operator
will
be
working
to
determine
how
these
funds
will
be
applied,
but
similar
to
the
project
budget.
Things
cannot
be
finalized
until
the
operator
exists
and
is
able
to
make
its
own
policies.
O
A
Hey
thank
you
for
that
presentation.
If
I
can
see
the
council,
does
anybody
have
any
questions
or
comments?
If
you
could
raise
your
hand,
I
can
see
you
so
hold
on.
I
saw
one
person.
I
see
council
member
robertson
and
I
see
council
members
on
so
we'll
start
with
council
member
robertson.
I
saw
you
first.
K
Thank
you.
I
don't
really
have
any
questions.
I
know
that
we're
going
to
be
setting
the
rate
structure
and
it's
based
on
the
number
of
radios,
and
that
I
mean
this
is
something
that
we
have
been
in
the
process
of
doing.
K
I
remember
when
we
supported
this
levy
in
14
or
15,
because
this
radio
system
is
something
that
is
really
important,
and
this
collaboration
among
the
cities
and
the
county
is
one
of
the
things
that
government
does
really
well,
particularly
with
regard
to
public
safety,
we're
all
in
this
together
and
we
need
to
work
together,
converting
the
system
to
digital
it's
taken
longer
and
cost
more
than
we
expected,
but
the
region
supported
this
with
a
vote
and
I'm
very
supportive
of
moving
forward
with
it.
That
said,
I
hope
that
we
are
well
represented.
K
I've
told
that
we
are
on
the
newly
formed
board
and
that
that
the
board
will
be
very
thoughtful
about
making
sure
that
we
build
this
right
and
make
sure
that
it's
fair
on
on
the
pricing
as
but
most
importantly,
that
it
works
really
well,
because
when
stuff
people
need
to
communicate
county
wide
and
beyond
when
emergencies
happen,
and
we
need
to
help
each
other,
and
this
is
one
of
those
projects.
So
I'm
really
supportive
happy
to
see
it
come
back
on
consent.
K
It
doesn't
need
to
necessarily
come
for
a
specific,
separate
vote
and
just
wanted
to
actually
mention
talk
about
this
project
about
how
important
it
is.
So
thanks.
Thank
you.
A
Council
members
on
I'm
gonna
have
you
and
then
council
member
lee
next,
and
if
you
could,
in
your
comments,
tell
me
whether
you
agreed
to
the
idea
to
put
this
on
consent.
Next,
I
would
appreciate
it
and
council
member
stokes
will
be
next.
S
Okay,
so
first
I
support
this,
and
so
I
would
support
putting
it
on
consent.
I
think
that
having
connectivity
during
emergencies
is
key
and
we
have
known
for
quite
a
while
that
the
800,
hertz
and
digital
is
the
way
to
go.
So
I
absolutely
support
that.
Thank
you,
david
for
letting
us
know
that,
from
a
budget
standpoint
in
the
capital
side
that
we
do
have
enough
contingency
to
get
this
complete,
because
in
our
memo
packet
it
there,
we
identified
potential
revenue
shortfalls
as
a
risk.
S
So
it
was
good
to
hear
that,
as
you
looked
at
that,
that
is
not
an
issue.
My
question
on
this,
though,
is
right.
Now
we
have
12
parties
and,
as
we
stand
up,
this
peace
earn
we're
going,
gonna,
be
able
to
then
look
at
setting
the
rates
and-
and
we
have
an
allocation
formula
so
that
we
have
fairness.
S
As
you
look
at
this
in
the
future,
is
there
any
thought
that
there
may
be
expansion
beyond
the
12
parties,
or
is
that
12
parties
set
in
regulations
already,
because
I'd
like
to
understand
that
sometimes
having
more
can
reduce
the
overall
cost
for
all
of
us?
So
I'd
like
to
hear
that.
O
Yeah,
I
I
don't
think
that
having
more
parties
changes,
the
the
cost
portfolio
or
the
rate
structure
for
users-
and
I
say
that
because
those
costs
are
spread
over
17
or
18,
000
radios
and
a
number
of
dispatch
consoles.
O
F
Thank
you.
Well,
thanks
for
the
presentation,
I
have
lots
of
questions
because
I
was
you
know
a
council
member
at
the
time
when
we
did
the
process
of
getting
larvae
to
to
this
project-
and
this
obviously
is
very
important
communication
regional
cooperation,
especially
in
public
safety-
no
question
about
it,
but
it
was
very
expensive
project
very
expensive,
as
we
know,
is
280
million
dollars,
and-
and
so
we
need
to
know
what
you
know,
does
the
money
cover.
Can
it
be
done
more
efficiently
effectively?
F
We
know
that
at
the
time
when
we
were
talking
about
the
libby
to
support
the
system,
he
said
we
know
that
you
know
we
have
a
challenging
situation
because
motorola's
the
only
vendor
the
system
is
designed.
Only
one
vendor
do
can
conserve
the
system,
and
we
know
that
there's
so
many
communication
systems
that's
been
created
over
the
last
10
five.
F
There
are
all
kinds
of
ways
of
digital
and
all
that
stuff.
So
I'm
not
sure
whether
this
is
has
been
incorporated
in
this
system,
that
it
will
give
us
the
flexibility
coming
here
with
the
most
efficient,
effective
system
and
take
advantage
of
the
technology
improvement
rather
than
just
living
with
a
one
vendor
motorola.
F
So
I
was
we're
hoping
that
you
know
we
support
it
because
it's
very
important
necessary,
but
we
have
no
other
choice,
so
I
was
hoping
that
maybe
over
these
ten
dozen
years
or
more,
actually
yeah,
we
have
come
to
the
point
that
we
have
come
up
with
some
ideas:
solutions
that
we
can
utilize
current
technology
that
have
a
lot
of
options.
All
the
analysis
that
if
we
go
forward,
you
know
we
actually
can
incorporate
all
these
new
technologies
to
make
it
work
much
better
for
the
for
everybody.
F
So
I
don't
want
to
be
spending
developing
system
very
impressive.
I
I
really
like
what
you
I
shown
earlier.
You
know,
I
don't
want
to
say
it.
It's
very
good,
good
work.
Everything
you've
done
is
good,
so
I'm
not
criticizing
it.
I'm
just
hoping
that
we're
not
building
an
old
system
that
continued
to
be
our
system
and
after
20
years,
whatever
we're
still
going
to
be
improving
another
old
system,
because
we
have
no
other
choice.
F
So
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
is
the
case
that
we
are
not
going
to
be
hostage
to
a
system
that
we
are
going
to
be
stuck
for
a
long
time
that
we
are
so
I
like
to
hear:
hey
here's
some
explanation,
some
discussion
on
the
technology
itself
and
what
economic
opportunity
we
have
to
develop
into
a
modern,
up-to-date
system
that
we
have
as
options
competitions.
F
It
will
help
the
rapists.
Now
you
talk
about
how
many
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
year
for
900
radios,
wow
gee,
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money.
I'm
not
sure
what
it's
going
to
be
in
the
future.
That's
first
question:
it's
more
important!
The
second
question
is
the
board
of
directors.
I
didn't
get
whether
the
city
of
bellevue
has
a
full
position
or
not
is
it?
I
know
seattle
has
one
pink
handy
has
one
does
probably
have
one.
O
Bellevue
will
will
work
with
the
other
four
cities
from
ebsca
and
between
the
five
cities.
There
will
be
one
voting
member
very
much
the
way
the
governance
is
today
in
the
current
network.
F
O
Yeah,
I
I
do
think
that,
first
of
all
that
we
have
state
of
the
art
technology,
one
of
the
things
that
we
had
to
do
was
we
did
have
to
enter
a
long-term
contract
with
motorola.
So
we
have
a
20-year
contract
after
the
project
is
completed,
but
in
the
term,
in
the
sense
of
obsolescence-
and
you
know
being
stuck
at
the
end
with
something
that
isn't
great
much
like
we
are
today
we
have
a
different
kind
of
contract
with
them
and
every
other
year
for
the
life
of
this
radio
system.
O
O
A
Thank
you.
I
have
council
members
snow
stokes
next
and
then
is
there
anybody
else
who
has
a
question
or
comment?
Okay,
go
ahead,
council
member
stokes.
G
Yeah,
I
appreciate
the
the
work
that's
been
done
and
the
resolution
of
this
this
is
something
we've
had
brought
back
to
council
many
many
times
and
actually
well.
I
appreciate
councilmember
lee's
bringing
up
that
question
about
the
ongoing
and
all
these
others.
It's
like
being
in
court.
G
It's
taken
a
long
long
long
time
to
get
here
and
it's
something
we
rely
on
very
heavily
and
we
also
made
some
decisions
not
to
try
to
be
a
guinea
pig
on
things
that
we
weren't
sure
would
work,
and
this
one
does
but
have
the
built-in
capability
to
make
changes
as
we
go
along,
and
you
know
when
time
comes
to
change,
we'll
probably
be
systems
that
we
have
no
idea
about
today.
A
Thank
you
for
that,
okay,
deputy
mayor.
Can
you
make
a
motion
please.
A
Yeah
second:
there's
a
question
by
councilmember
lee.
F
I
would
disagree.
I
will
not
support
that.
I
need
to
have
more
information
and,
furthermore
I
don't
recall
that
the
council
member
has
been
talking
about
this.
You
know
we
have
come.
We
have
not.
I
don't
require
any
report
previously
yeah
discussing
this
topic
by
this
council
and
you
know
we
need
to
make
sure
that
obsolescence
doesn't
get
built
into
this
system,
and
I
I
like
to
I
like
what
the
director
mandel
said
that
you
know
this
is
the
last
time
we
see
a
radio.
So
what
happens
after
we
finish
the
radio?
F
A
J
A
While
in
coming-
but
I
remember
it
because
it
was,
you
know
one
of
the
first
things
we
did
and
so
my
my
mind
was
fresh,
but
we
will
not
put
it
on
consent.
So,
let's
change
that
motion.
If
we
can,
let's
amend
the
emotion
the
motion,
I
guess.
A
Is
there
a
second
for
the
second
okay,
you
got
that
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
amended
amendment
to
bring
it
back
to
a
council
meeting
for
approval,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
great.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
Yes,
thank
you,
marin
and
council
members.
The
the
next
item,
the
next
two
items
are
associated
with
the
affordable
housing
strategy
that
the
city
has
been
working
on.
This
particular
matter
in
front
of
tonight
is
regarding
initiating
work
to
update
the
multi-family
tax
exemption
program,
also
known
as
mfte.
E
The
mfpa
program
by
way
of
background
allows
market
rate
projects
to
gain
a
12-year
tax
exemption
in
exchange
for
providing
affordable
housing
as
20
of
the
project's
total
units.
This
was
last
in
front
of
the
council.
Back
in
october,
of
2019
council
extended
the
mft
program
specifically
to
an
infinite
date,
removing
the
previous
expiration
date.
The
council's
march
20
march
2020
update
from
staff
on
waterfall
housing
strategy.
E
Progress
also
included
the
mfte
staff
is
seeking
direction
to
initiate
work
on
updating
the
existing
mft
program,
primarily
because
the
staff
believe
that
updating
the
details
of
the
program
may
increase
program
utilization,
which
has
been
lower
than
anticipated
since
the
program's
most
recent.
B
E
In
february
of
2018.,
the
work
program
would
include
analysis,
geographic
expansion
where
mfte
may
be
used
and
updates
to
the
bellevue
city
called
an
associated
project
covenants
and
as
well
as
agreements
associated
with
the
mft
program.
So
joining
us
this
evening
is
matt
cummins,
who
is
the
director
emile
king
assistant,
director,
tara,
johnson,
comprehensive
planning
manager
and
elizabeth
irae
who's,
our
senior
planner
and
newest
member
to
the
community
development
department.
With
that
I'll
turn
over
to
matt.
E
U
U
There
were
questions
about
when
we
could
get
going
on
this
particular
programmatic
solution
to
helping
encourage
the
creation
of
affordable
housing,
and
we
indicated
we
would
bring
this
back
in
the
fall
and
so
we're
back
here
this
evening
by
way
of
introduction,
we're
going
to
get
into
a
lot
of
details
about
what
the
proposed
work
program
calls
for,
but
just
to
remind
everybody
and
the
public.
The
affordable
housing
strategy
has
a
couple
of
main
components.
U
One
is
regulatory
things
that
the
city
can
do
to
incentivize
the
creation
of
affordable
housing
and
the
other
part
is
financial
incentives,
some
of
which
come
in
the
form
of
direct
money
and
subsidy
to
help
create
and
new,
build
or
preserve
units,
and
some
are
working
with
state
programs
like
the
multi-family
tax
exemption
program
to
help
developers
that
build
and
preserve
these
units.
U
U
So
what
we're
going
to
do
this
evening
is
walk
through
the
proposed
scope
of
work
that
we're
looking
to
initiate
tonight
and
move
into
the
the
first
quarter
of
next
year
to
bring
back
recommendations
for
the
council
and
so
we're
hoping
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
tonight.
You'll
give
us
that
direction
and
we're
going
to
go
through
the
different,
topical
areas
that
we
plan
to
study
over
the
next
few
months,
including
the
public
outreach
with
our
development
partners
and
the
different
stakeholders
that
are
participatory
in
this.
V
Yes,
so
good
evening,
mayor,
robinson,
deputy
mayor
new
in-house
and
members
of
the
council,
city
manager,
miyaki
and
staff
that
are
present
as
well
as
the
public.
Thank
you
for
that
introduction
max.
So
the
purpose
of
this
evening's
presentation
is
to
essentially
launch
expansion
of
the
mft
program.
As
mack
indicated,
there's
been
some
ongoing
discussion
with
city
council
which
occurred
earlier
this
year
and
even
prior
to
that
and
elizabeth
direct.
V
A
senior
planner
in
our
division
in
the
comp
planning
team
is
the
primary
project
manager
for
this
overseeing
a
lot
of
the
analysis
and
so
she's
going
to
be
walking
you
through
several
facets
of
the
program,
I'm
just
going
to
walk
you
through
some
of
the
components
of
the
agenda
for
this
evening
and
then
I'll
hand
it
over
to
elizabeth.
P
Thank
you,
tara.
That
was
a
great
overview
so
before
we
dive
into
the
kind
of
update
itself,
I
just
want
to
give
a
quick
overview
of
the
program
as
it
stands
today.
P
One
of
them
is
for
the
program
that
that
we've
adopted
having
it
be
a
12-year
exemption
from
the
residential
part
of
the
taxes
on
the
property
and
for
our
program.
We
require
for
those
12
years
that
20
of
the
units
are
affordable
at
a
variety
of
of
ami
levels,
and
this
program
is
available
only
in
specific
parts
of
the
city.
P
One
unit
that
would
otherwise
be
at
80
ami
based
on
the
incentive
program,
can
actually
have
deeper
affordability
through
the
mfte
program
for
the
12
years
that
that
program
remains
in
effect.
So
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide
tara,
we
can
take
a
look
at
kind
of
what
those
ami
levels
look
like
across
the
different
residential
target
areas,
and
so
those
are
listed
out
here
and
we
actually
have
a
program
that
varies
based
on
location.
P
But
some
requirements
are
the
same
across
all
of
these
areas,
so
those
are
the
ones
that
are
listed
at
the
top
there.
We
have
a
family
size
unit
requirement,
and
then
we
also
have
a
requirement
that
if
the
units
are
especially
small,
they
require
deeper
affordability
and
then
on
the
next
slide,
we're
going
to
start
going
into
a
little
bit
about
how
the
program
has
been
utilized
so
far,
and
so
we
have
had
two
projects
to
use
our
mfte
program
since
it
was
adopted
in
2015..
P
Both
of
those
projects
have
actually
kind
of
come
into
creation,
since
the
the
update
in
early
2018-
and
so
we,
we
updated
a
few
minor
things
2018,
especially
in
the
downtown
residential
target
area,
and
that
is
where
both
of
these
projects
occurred
and
two
and
to
kind
of
give
you
a
little
bit
of
understanding
of
what
that
means
to.
P
There
are
two
projects
out
of
about
20
projects
that
could
have
qualified
to
use
the
mfte
program
since
the
program's
adoption
in
2015.,
so
we're
seeing
just
under
a
10
utilization
rate
based
on
number
of
units
and
that
that
doesn't
quite
line
up
with
what
we
were
hoping
that
this
program
would
be
able
to
to
produce,
and
so
in
the
2017,
affordable
housing
strategy.
We
estimated
about
65
units
per
year
would
be
achieved
through
the
mfte
program.
P
So
one
of
the
ways
that
we're
looking
at
updating
the
the
program
is
based
on
the
geographic
locations
we've
heard
from
council
in
previous
discussions
that
there's
an
interest
in
looking
at
a
geographic
expansion
in
order
to
increase
program
utilization
and
there's
a
few
different
ways.
We
could
do
that.
One
of
the
ways
is
to
kind
of
find
targeted
areas
to
add
new
residential
target
areas
across
the
city.
P
There
are
some
very
you
know
clear
solutions
to
that,
such
as
expanding
the
wilberton
boundary
with
the
the
upcoming
update
and
adding
east
maine
as
well,
but
there
also
may
be
other
mixed
use
areas
where
we
expect
to
see
development
in
coming
years,
where
we
could
also
expand
to
new
rtas
and
then
on
the
next
slide.
We're
also
looking
at
if
you
wanted
to
expand
the
program
to
all
areas
of
the
city
where
currently
multi-family
development
is
allowed
by
zoning.
P
If
we're
going
to
be
increasing
program
utilization.
There
are
also
other
ways
we
can
increase
utilization
with
some
expansion.
There
may
be
areas
where
we
might
have
further
development
coming
up
in
upcoming
years.
That
is
not
reflected
by
these
permits,
and
so
that
will
be
another
area
where
we're
hoping
to
look
at
as
part
of
our
scope
on
the
next
slide.
P
So
as
part
of
that
scope,
I
just
wanted
to
remind
everyone
kind
of
what
what
our
goal
is
here.
We're
really
trying
to
increase
program
utilization,
create
more
affordable
housing
units
and
and
make
it
easier
to
to
increase
that
that
total
and
the
state
legislation
also
requires
that
those
affordable
housing
units
be
kind
of
a
commensurate
balance
with
detect
exemption
itself.
So
we'll
be
looking
at
both
of
those
sides
of
of
that,
and
then
on.
The
next
slide,
I'm
just
going
to
walk
through
what
the
proposed
scope
itself
is.
P
So
we'll
start
out
with
some
outreach.
We
really
want
to
start
looking
at
where
there
are
barriers
to
the
existing
program,
especially
looking
at
all
those
dots
that
did
not
utilize
the
mft
program.
Why
that
happened
and
how
to
keep
that
from
happening
in
the
future.
P
We'll
also
potentially
be
doing
outreach
to
any
residents
in
areas
where
we
might
be
looking
at
expanding
the
geographic
reach
of
the
program
and
and
the
community
at
large,
and
then,
in
addition,
we'll
be
looking,
as
I
mentioned,
to
expanding
the
program
geographically
in
in
a
number
of
ways
as
described,
and
then
we'll
also
be
looking
at
a
number
of
kind
of
details
of
the
program
itself,
where
we
would
like
to
understand
what
the
best
combination
of
program
features
is
so
there's,
as
I
mentioned,
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
the
way
that
this
program
can
be
be
utilized,
and
so
here's
kind
of
some
examples
of
things
that
that
we
might
be
looking
at
those
ami
thresholds
that
are
currently
different
in
each
residential
target
area
could
be
adjusted.
P
The
way
that
the
program
interacts
with
the
incentive
program
could
be
adjusted
and
those
might
be
partnered
with
one
another.
And
then
we
also
might
be
looking
at
some
of
the
unit
mix
requirements
that
family
size
requirement.
What
percentage?
That
is
how
that
works,
and
also
looking
at
where
in
the
building
these
these
units
are
required
to
be,
and
then
we'll
also
be
looking
at
the
program
administration
in
general
and
just
understanding
what
the
experience
is
from
a
number
of
experiences.
P
P
Outreach
that
I
mentioned
develop
a
few
different
options
and
determine
what
that
best
combination
of
update
possibilities
is
and
then
we'll
come
back
with
that
recommendation
in
early
next
year,
and
then
we
will
be
required
to
have
a
public
hearing
if
there's
any
changes
to
those
residential
target
areas,
which
would
let
us
adopt
a
new
code
sometime
in
the
second
quarter
of
2021..
A
D
D
I
know
you're
going
to
reach
out
to
the
outreach
piece
and
engage
on
what
are
the
challenges
or
barriers
with
the
current
program.
Any
thoughts
based
on
the
analysis
of
what's
working
and
other
municipalities
that
we
might
consider
just
given
the
preliminary
analysis
that
you've
already
done.
V
P
Yeah,
if
you
want
to
kind
of
slide
to
that,
I
think
it's
two
slides
after
this,
this
just
kind
of
gives
you
an
idea
of
what
kind
of
breadth
of
options
there
are.
We
have
not
yet
determined.
You
know
which
of
these
options
that
we
will,
you
know
determine
is
best
for
bellevue,
but
this
gives
you
an
idea
of
the
types
of
things
that
we
could
be
looking
at.
You
know
it.
These
things
are
all
kind
of
really
interrelated.
P
So
you
know,
programs
that
allow
and
overlap
with
the
inclusionary
program
really
changes
what
those
ami
levels
are,
and
you
know
what
other
programs
are
available
is
really
important
as
well.
So
there's
kind
of
all
these
different
features,
but
those
four
things
I
mentioned
on
that
last
slide
are
really
the
areas
that
that
we've
heard
you
know
from
the
the
feedback
we've
gotten
so
far
are
definitely
areas
that
we'd
like
to
look
at.
V
Okay,
thank
you.
I'd
also
like
to
add
that
you
know
each
from
our
from
our
initial
analysis
and
even
some
conversations
that
we've
had
with
other
jurisdictions
as
well.
As
you
know,
arch,
that's
very
familiar
with,
obviously
how
mft
functions
in
different
jurisdictions,
particularly
on
the
east
side.
Every
jurisdiction
seems
to
have
a
very
different
approach
to
mft.
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
for
council.
So
there's
no
one-size-fits-all,
that
seems
to
you
know,
function
for
different
different
areas
of
the
puget
sound.
V
Yes,
a
few
of
the
cities
on
the
east
side,
so
kirkland
and
redmond
both
have
mandatory
provisions
and
have
had
those
provisions
in
place
for
some
time.
Kirkland
has
also
had
mft
in
place
for
a
fairly
long
period
of
time,
whereas
redmond
has
recently
adopted
mfte.
So,
as
I
said,
every
every
city
has
a
has
approached
it
a
little
differently:
okay,
councilmember
robertson,.
K
Thank
you
really
appreciate
this.
Coming
back,
I
know
I
was
very
eager
to
look
at
expanding
our
mfte
to
more
areas
of
the
city
and
I'm
glad
you're.
Looking
at
that,
I
I'd
like
to
see
what
it
looks
like
if
we
put
it
everywhere
where
multi-family
housing
is
allowed,
so
the
geographic
applicability.
I
think
that
a
lot
of
the
questions
you're
asking
are
really
good.
K
I
I
also
thought
that
the
letter
from
many
of
the
major
employers
that
we
got
today
via
email,
if
that
hasn't
been
turned
over
to
staff,
it
needs
to
be
because
all
the
things
in
that
letter
need
to
be
part
of
what
is
answered
so
I'll
just
go
really
briefly
through
some
of
it
and
then
add
something
that
wasn't
in
the
letter.
One
is,
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
the
ami
levels,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
have.
K
We
need
more
housing
number
one
and
we
need
more,
affordable
housing.
You
know
also
number
one,
so
we
need
both
so
having
a
mix
of
ami
levels
where
people
can
get
the
mfte
for
their
projects
might
be
really
helpful.
It
also
helps
with
dispersing
the
lower
incomes
units
in
among
ones
that
are
a
higher
ami
or
even
market
rate.
That
tends
to
be
better
for
the
project.
It
tends
to
make
more
sense
for
builders.
K
K
What
happens
is
if
you
don't
book
the
new
construction
value
in
the
year
that
it's
built,
you
wait
until
the
end
of
the
period
that
affects
the
city's
ability
to
collect
revenue
from
property
taxes,
for
you
know,
which
makes
perhaps
the
12-year
or
the
24-year
much
less
appealing
to
cities,
especially
with
our
budgets
being
down
in
covet.
So
the
bill
that
I
mentioned
29.50
would
have
allowed
cities
to
book
in
the
new
construction
value
to
their
total
av
in
year.
K
One
like
it
is
done
with
all
the
other
projects,
while
people
still
have
the
mfte,
which
means
the
city's
revenues
aren't
suffering,
but
but
the
developer
still
is
getting
the
benefit
of
the
project.
So
I
think
that
that's
something
that
I
would
like
to
really
add
to
our
alleged
agenda.
K
It's
something
we
need
to
watch,
but
I
think
it's
also
something
we
need
to
advocate
for,
and
it's
one
of
those
things
that
this
date
doesn't
have
to
give
us
money,
but
it
helps
us
provide
incentive
for
affordable
housing
without
damaging
our
own
budgets,
even
worse
than
covet
already
does
so
that's
something
I'd
like
to
really
follow
up
on.
K
Finally,
I
think
that
something,
that's
really
important
is
the
non-codified
provisions.
That
arch
is
using,
where
they're
requiring
things
that
our
code
does
not
like
the
one
free
parking
space
to
be
built
in
a
lot
of
oversight
over
the
leases,
which
is
making
it
a
lot
harder
for
developers
and
property
managers
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
this
makes
it
really
hard
to
comply
with.
So
I'd
like
to
have
some
transparency
as
we
move
through
this
study
and
it
comes
back
to
council
what
we
are
requiring
and
what
we
are
not.
K
I
don't
want
to
have
something
that
arch
is
going
to
require.
That
is
not
in
our
code.
I
don't
think
that's
fair.
It's
not
fair
to
us
for
getting
our
affordable
housing
vision
met
and
it's
not
fair
developers
who
want
to
take
advantage
of
the
mfte
to
then
come
in
and
find
out
wait
a
second.
I
thought
it
penciled,
but
now
it
doesn't
because
I've
got
to
provide
all
this
parking
at
no
cost.
K
So,
and
you
know
it's
also
consistent
with
our
some
of
our
vision
to
make
sure
that
people
can
use
alternative
modes
and
maybe
not
have
as
much
parking
required.
So
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we
do
look
at
that
as
part
of
the
study,
and
I
apologize
if
I
didn't
catch
when
is
this
coming
back
to
council.
K
S
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
thorough
information
in
the
packet.
I
really
appreciate
it,
especially
the
comparisons
with
cities.
S
My
question
is:
did
we
look
at
cities
outside
of
our
local
area
as
well
to
understand
if
there
are
mfte
programs
that
they're
using
and
look
at
what
other
strategies
they
might
have
had
that
have
created
success,
because
I
can
see
looking
at
even
just
the
three
neighboring
cities
that
have
mandatory
inclusionary,
that
they're
getting
more
housing
and
at
one
point
bellevue
actually
had
that
before
it
changed?
S
My
second
point
is
the
one
about
ownership.
So
is
that
a
provision
where,
after
a
certain
number
of
years,
there's
an
opportunity
for
renters
to
get
into
home
ownership,
because
I
think
that's
another
area
where
we
need
to
look
at
housing,
affordability
and
not
just
as
renters
but
the
potential
to
actually
own
their
own
unit
and
be
able
to
build
generational
wealth.
So
that's
another
area
that
I'd
like
to
understand
and
then
just
wanted
to
say
on
the
micro
housing.
S
I
really
appreciate
that
and
having
deeper
affordability,
because
I
I
think
that
not
everyone
wants
to
be
in
a
much
larger
unit,
so
the
ability
to
have
300
square
feet.
In
fact,
many
countries
300
square
feet,
is
a
big
unit.
So
having
that
is,
is
a
big
deal
and
then
I
support
expanding
the
residential
target
areas
and
really
I
I
would
want
to
understand
what
the
downside
would
be
to
expanding
it
to
all
of
the
multi-family
zoning.
S
So
we
aren't
coming
back
and
looking
at
these
over
and
over
again,
if
the
I,
if
the
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
interspersed
within
our
community
is
multi,
is
different
levels
of
housing
so
that
we
are
a
community,
that's
interspersed
and
not
just
certain
areas
that
have
deeply
affordable
housing
versus
yeah
in
an
intermix.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house.
T
Thank
you,
mayor
and,
first
of
all,
great
presentation
to
mac
mill,
thara
and
elizabeth
elizabeth
welcome
to
city
of
bellevue.
I
think
it's
the
first
time
you're
presenting
in
front
of
us
so
great
job
tonight,
yeah
I
mean
my
colleagues
have
touched
on
a
lot
of
things
that
I
agree
on,
and
certainly
you
know
this
is
critical
of
this
mfte
program
for
us.
T
I
also
would
like
to
see
this
expanded
to
those
additional
rtas
and
wherever
multi-family
housing
is,
is
owned
to
to
have
the
mfte
in
place.
One
thing
that
did
strike
me
as
councilmember
robertson
had
mentioned
earlier
about
the
the
non-codified
requirements
about
the
free
parking
and
also
about
the
new
mft
lease
renewals,
which
gives
me
thinking.
Are
there
any
other
non-codified
requirements
beyond
these
two?
These
two
might
be
the
most
onerous,
but
are
there
other
non-codified
requirements
which
is
really
hampering
this?
T
This
this
program
from
truly
flourishing?
You
know
again,
I
think
talk
about
expansion
is
important
and
I
think
we're
all
supportive
of
that
at
least
the
ones
who
have
spoken
so
far.
However,
if
we
can't
get
rid
of
some
of
these
onerous
requirements,
we're
just
not
going
to
see
as
many
developers
take
advantage
of
the
f
of
the
fte
as
as
they
may
have,
so
I
really
think
we
need
to
concentrate
there
first
before
we
look
at
expansion
and
then
you
know
just
a
final
comment.
T
I
just
really
think
that
you
know
the
mfd
and
the
parking
reduction
are
probably
the
two
most
critical
things
to
developing
additional,
affordable
housing,
workforce
housing
in
our
city.
So
with
with
that
in
mind,
that's
where
we
need
to
go
and
that's
what
we
need
to
address
and
certainly
look
forward
to
this.
Coming
back
to
the
council
and
again,
a
great
presentation
and
look
forward
to
hearing
more
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
G
Yeah
I'll
add
my
thanks
to
the
presentations,
donald
and
looking
into
this.
This
is
pretty
exciting.
We,
you
know
it's
been
a
few
years
now
since
2017.,
it's
nice
to
be
doing
some
updates
and
I
hope,
we're
looking
at
things
that
will
improve
what
we
have
in
place.
G
Now
the
and
I
appreciate
a
lot
of
the
comments
I
was
going
to
make
or
I'll
certainly
go
along
with
the
councilmember
robinson
robertson,
brought
these
forward,
and
I
think
they're
they're
important
things,
I'm
glad
to
see
council
members
generally
supporting
on
even
more
aggressive
push
on
affordable
housing
in
various
ways
and
that
that's
very
encouraging,
because
every
day
we
go
by
it's
getting
more
difficult,
more
people
needing
so
and
when
we
get
to
the
other
part,
I
want
to
talk
about
the
the
goals
and
stuff,
but
back
to
this
on
the
arch
piece,
it
seems
I
mean
we
have
to
take.
G
We
have
to
work
with
arch
and
see
because
I'm
sure
they're
applying
a
rule
across
the
board
with
all
the
other
cities
they're
working
with.
So
we
need
to
look
into
that
and
why
they're
requiring
these
requirements-
and
I
agree
that
we
should,
if
there's
some
that
are
in
hampering
our
approach,
then
we
need
to
look
at
that.
It
is
interesting.
The
other
cities
that
are
involved
with
arch
are
doing
a
better
job
in
terms
of
numbers
at
this
point,
but
so
that's
a
good
thing
to
look
at
and
get
some
uniformity
there's
good.
G
I
think
the
the
things
that
I
haven't
really
heard
is
or
hear
this
sometimes
the
idea
that
we're
doing
what's
best
for
bellevue,
where
the
program
is
I
I
would
like
to
have
a
little
better
delineation
of
that
and
why
why
it's
different
for
bellevue,
as
opposed
to
say
kirkland
or
something?
I
think
that
sometimes
that's
easy
to
justify
something
we're
doing,
and
I
think
just
kind
of
think
about
that.
Looking
at
proven
techniques
across
you
know,
many
cities
is
very
valuable.
G
Now
you're
doing
that,
so
don't
get
too
hung
up
on,
because
I
don't
know
we
really
don't
have
a
definition
of
what's
best
for
bellevue
in
a
sense
so
and
that's
I
know
that,
wasn't
a
real
overarching
thing!
You
were
talking
about
and
I
think
what
you're
looking
at
is
in
these
other
cities
is
what's
different
from
you
know
from
us
and
why
they're
making
progress
and
and
that
that's
big
help.
G
The
last
thing
is
that
I
really
do
think
that
we
need
to
take
and
councilmember
zahn
mentioned
this,
a
more
kind
of
global
approach
in
bellevue
of
places
we
can
find
to
put
multi-family
housing
and
all
all
sorts,
I
think,
we're
getting
past
the
kind
of
state
or
the
the
traditional
multi-family
and
we're
looking
at
different
configurations
of
that
and
how
it
can
fit
into
the
neighborhoods
around
them.
I
mean
most
neighborhoods
already
have
a
lot
of
you
know,
partners
and
everything
else
around
us.
G
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
program
we're
going
forward.
I'm
really
excited
about
it,
but
I'm
hoping
that
we're
going
to
set
some
goals.
That
are
a
really
you
know
big,
be
hack
goals
and
push.
When
we
get
to
the
conversation,
I
think
the
2400
we
have
now
is
inadequate
and
I
think
what
you're
looking
at
is
something
that
will
help
us
reach
the
need
that
we're
looking
at
and
being
flexible
and
being
not.
G
You
know,
putting
things
in
little
boxes,
we're
going
to
do
30
50
over
here
80
over
here.
I
like
that
idea
of
having
it
mixed
so
that
the
the
complexes
will
be
better.
The
facilities
will
be
better
and
I
think,
in
terms
of
community
and
and
the
human
beings
living
in
them,
it
will
be
better.
So
you
have
a
big
job
in
front
of
you,
but
I
think
you've
got
a
really
great
start
on
this
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
you,
you
bringing
it
back.
G
You
know
the
the
couple
of
things
that
seem
to
be
kind
of
bogging
it
down.
We
can
cure
those.
Don't
wait,
though,
until
we
fix
that
before
you
start
moving
on
the
others,
I
think
it's
important
to
move
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
reports,
and
maybe
some
in
the
interim
before
obviously
in
the
middle
of
2021,
but
you
know
really
really
push
this
be
as
creative
as
you
can
be
as
nimble
as
you
can,
because
this
is.
G
F
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
think
it's
commendable
for
staff
to
realize
that
we
are
only
meeting
50
of
our
goal,
so
I
think
you're
on
the
right
track
to
look
at
more
analysis
and
getting
more
data
and
figuring
out
how
to
improve
the
situation.
So
I
think
you're
on
the
right
track.
The
broad
you
know
stroke
to
look
at
that
is
that
you
probably
should
be
looking
talking
to
the
developers
and
why
are
we
not
doing
more
than
we
can
you
know
the
people
who
are
building
it?
F
You
know,
that's
the
you
know,
proof
the
puddings
and
eating
it,
and
so
you
know,
I
think,
council
members
have
give
you
a
lot
of
ideas,
suggestions,
and
so
I
hope
that
you
have
more
and
but
you
know
I
had
a
real
reality
joked
this
weekend,
I
I
visited
an
apartment
right
next
to
downtown
park
and
2
000
square
feet,
they're
ranting
from
8
000
to
12
a
month
a
month
and
amazing.
You
know
people
are
paying
for
it.
It's
all
fully
rented
and
it's
amazing.
So
we
know
what
the
need
is.
F
You
know
for
the
housing,
it
is
a
big
big,
big
thing,
and
my
one
thing
I
want
to
point
out,
you
know
is
we:
we
need
to
have
a
perhaps
a
group
of
folks,
a
committee
of
some
sort
that
comprise
of
developers
that
will
be
building
in
in
developing
bellevue
and
what
would
talk
to
them.
Have
them
give
us
ideas.
Give
you
ideas.
What
would
it
take
to
have
more?
You
know
affordable
housing,
this
mfte
program,
you
know
how?
How
do
we
make
it
more
workable,
attractive?
F
F
You
know
I
would
not
have
probably
bought
it
up
because
and
because
somebody
you
know
it
was
mentioned
that
well
maybe
there
are
some
reasons
to
do
that
and
I,
I
believe,
archery
sourced
a
lot
of
good
work.
But
in
this
particular
case
you
know
there
are
a
couple
projects
that
you
know
have
got
exemptions
for
parking
requirements,
but
when
you
don't,
when
you
have
uncode
and
encoded
requirements,
and
only
people
who
you
know
take
the
initiative
of
figuring
out
how
to
get
exemptions
can
do
it.
F
The
majority,
the
folks,
you
know
especially
business
people,
developers,
they're
going
to
be
shut
out
of
it.
They're
not
going
to
be
they.
They
will
not
know
that
there
is
such
a
thing
as
getting
exemptions
or
going
to
the
trouble
of
getting
exemptions.
So
I
think
we
need
to
be
make
sure
that
whatever
we
have
it's
it's
a
reasonable.
It's
something
that
we
know
it's
going
to
work
and
it's
going
to
be
transparent
across
the
board
so
that
they
have
certainty
that
yeah.
F
This
is
something
they
want
to
pursue,
because
it
takes
a
lot
of
work,
a
lot
of
effort
to
prepare
to
decide
whether
you
want
to
do
this
or
not.
You
know
so
that
I
think
that's
important
and
there
are
many
many
other
examples.
So
be
sure
you
know
talk
to
our
former
council
member
kevin
wallace.
You
know.
I
F
Be
great
resource
to
talk
to
you
you
know,
so.
Second,
I
wouldn't
suggest
is
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
it's
the
cost
of
building
these
things.
That's
a
killer,
you
know,
and
how
can
we
still
look
at
it
because
that's
not
being
mentioned,
that's
why
I
already
mentioned
it
all
the
others
been
discussed.
So
how
can
we
make
the
cost
lower?
How
can
we
do
it?
You
know
that
that's
the
question,
so
I
would
just
end
it
there.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
lee,
okay,
so
I
I
appreciate
all
my
fellow
council
members
comments.
They
reflect
a
lot
of
the
things
that
I've
been
thinking
about
as
well.
A
So
that
might
be
something
you
have
to
come
back
to
us
with,
but
I'm
really
curious
if
we
could
focus
this
more
on
all
tod,
including
brt,
but
bus,
rapid
transit,
because
really
that's
where
we
want
to
focus,
I
think
our
affordable
housing
to
make
it
so
people
don't
have
to
have
cars
and
can
have
a
more
affordable
lifestyle
as
well.
But
that's
a
that's
a
question
I
have.
A
A
We've
talked
about
the
tod
zone
in
bell
red
and
how
that
really
has
the
epicenter
of
a
projected
station
and
has
never
been
corrected
to
the
actual
station.
So
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
sooner
than
later,
make
that
correction
on
the
map.
So
when
we
were
talking
about
tod
and
bell
red,
it's
actually
centered
around
the
light
rail
station,
and
I
would
like
to
explore
what
it
would
look
like
to
do.
Mandatory
inclusionary
housing.
You
can
see
in
the
region
that
that's
been
very
successful
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
development.
A
Using
this,
and
I
know
as
councilmember
zhan
said,
we
had
that
in
the
past,
and
I
know
it
was
very
successful
in
creating
a
lot
of
80
ami
and
I'm
interested
in
the
layering
of
you
know
something
that
incentivized
80
ami
layered
with
another
incentive
that
could
bring
it
down
to
a
lower
affordability.
So
that's
something
I'd
be
interested
in
looking
at
and
then
council
members
on
said
something
that
is
intriguing
to
me.
A
Have
we
ever
talked
about?
Has
there
ever
been
a
discussion
about
rent
to
own
with
the
mfte
program?
I
wonder
if
any
other
city
has
done
that,
so
you
could,
if,
if
there
has
been,
maybe
you
could
bring
that
back
and
I
will
just
say
the
cost
to
the
city
of
not
collecting
property.
Taxes
on
these
affordable
units
is
minuscule.
A
As
far
I
did
an
analysis
of
that
in
the
before
we
ever
proposed
having
an
mfte
in
bellevue,
and
it
just
seems,
like
that's,
a
very
minuscule
cost
to
the
city
when
we
don't
collect
on
those
few
units,
so
maybe
an
analysis
of
that
because
you
could
make
them
permanently
affordable
or
at
12
years
when
they
fall
to
market
rate,
they're,
already
kind
of
affordable
because
more
affordable,
because
they're
more
they're
older
units
that
inherently
cost
less
than
a
newer
unit.
A
U
I
think
we've
got
a
a
lot
mayor.
I
think
just
a
couple
of
points
of
clarification
might
be
good
for
the
council
and
I'll
just
kind
of
go
backwards,
starting
with
your
comments
mayor.
Yes,
we
will
absolutely
take
a
look
at
the
cost
impact
to
the
city.
Each
time
we've
looked
at
mfte
and
any
potential
lost
revenue.
U
The
council
has
generally
said:
hey
the
policy
impact
of
the
positivity
of
getting
the
affordable
units
far
outweighs
the
relatively
denimous
amount
of
tax
revenue
that'll
be
generated
during
that
12-year
span,
but
what
I
would
also
mention
is
because
there
were
some
comments
here
about
the
12-year
the
nature
of
the
12
years.
Many
of
our
developers
are
taking
advantage
of
the
land
use
incentive
system
as
well,
which
carries
a
permanency
to
the
the
unit
itself.
U
So
we
want
to
be
careful
about
projects
that
say
just
take
care
of
mfte
and
what
does
that
look
like
over
the
long
term?
A
lot
of
the
units
that
are
getting
built
are
actually
participating
in
the
land
use
code,
incentive
system
which
has
a
different
duration
component
and
we'll
try
to
make
those
clear.
You
know
when
we
bring
the
whole
program
proposal
back
to
you
a
couple.
Things
also
came
up,
though,
that
just
from
a
scope
standpoint
probably
want
to
talk
about
one
is.
U
There
was
some
discussion
about
micro
units
and
there
was
some
discussion
about
inclusionary
housing.
Those
are
things
that
are
actually
contemplated
in
the
affordable
housing
strategy
and
have
very
clear
policy
direction
on
them
right
now.
So
on
the
on
the
micro
units,
that's
a
strategy
that
you'll
hear
about
in
terms
of
the
timing
in
our
next
update,
just
with
all
the
strategies,
but
that
that
involves
a
land
use
code,
update
and
some
things
that
we're
working
with
our
development
services
department
about
when
it
will
come
back
to
the
council.
U
But
that's
that's
coming
inclusionary
housing
is
something
that
came
up
as
a
foundational
element
of
the
affordable
housing
strategy
and
the
council
adopted
policy
to
use
incentive
based,
so
it
might
be
rather
than
to
have
that
as
part
of
your
mfte
discussion
and
launch.
If
the
council
wants
to
think
about
that,
that
would
probably
be
more
in
the
affordable
housing
strategy.
U
Just
overall
is
that
something
you
all
want
to
to
talk
about
or
not
as
compared
to
layering
it
into
the
mfte
discussion
and
then,
lastly,
I
think
just
one
point
of
clarification
on
things
like
the
quote:
unquote
parking
that
has
been
required.
U
That's
approving
the
requirement
to
have
parking
in
the
covenant
and
it's
something
we've
been
looking
at
for
some
time,
and
I've
talked
to
a
number
of
the
folks
that
were
on
that
letter
that
signed
the
letter
about
this
exact
issue,
and
so,
as
the
city's
looking
to
now
require
significantly
less
than
one
stall
per
unit,
the
idea
of
treating
all
affordable
units
in
the
same
way
you
treat
all
units
just
in
general,
obviously
now
we're
making
a
conscious
decision
and
not
every
unit,
comes
with
a
parking
stall.
U
So
therefore,
we
probably
don't
have
the
same
relationship
of
treating
all
the,
because
some
people
just
simply
don't
come
with
cars
at
all.
So
we'll
definitely
take
a
look
at
that
I'll.
Just
note
for
the
council,
we
have
and
the
authority
actually
arrests
within
the
community
development
department.
U
I
have
approved
a
project
that
decouples
parking
in
the
downtown
and
does
not
add
that
into
the
cost
of
the
project,
primarily
because
of
its
relationship
to
transit,
but
certainly
acknowledge
that
the
context
of
how
we
go
about
that
decision
making
is
probably
not
as
clear
as
it
could
be
for
the
developers
so
we're
going
to
start
that
outreach
process
and
continue
our
dialogue,
particularly
with
our
large
corporate
sponsors.
U
Microsoft
has
been
very
active
wanting
to
talk
to
us
about
some
of
this
and
same
thing
with
amazon,
so
anyways,
hopefully
that
just
added
a
little
more
context
for
some
things.
We've
already
been
doing
and
stuff
that's
coming
up.
A
Terrific
okay,
well
so
there's
a
motion
to
direct
staff
to
initiate
work
on
updating
the
mfte
program
consistent
with
the
work
program
as
detailed
in
this
memo
and
incorporating
the
comments
that
you've
heard
tonight.
Is
there
a
motion
to
do
that?
Please.
H
A
Is
there
a
second
second,
all
those
in
favor
say
I
I
opposed
okay,
so
I
think
I
think
you've
got
your
direction
and
we're
looking
forward
to
seeing
this
in
february,
I
think
of
next
year.
Thank
you
very.
E
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
yeah.
Thank
you,
mayor
I'll,
just
be
very
brief,
and
because
this
next
one
resides
with
mac
as
well,
and
it's
really
the
about
the
affordable
housing
strategy
implementation,
the
the
council
has
been
asked
to
be
briefed
twice
yearly
on
our
affordable
housing
strategy
implementation.
E
E
For
tonight
no
action
is
being
sought.
This
is
really
an
informational
briefing
for
the
council
and
again
to
be
in
compliance
with
coming
back
to
you
at
least
twice
per
year
with
that
joining
us
this
evening,
again
is
matt
cummins.
The
director
and
neil
king
is
also
joining
us,
as
the
assistant
director,
tara,
johnson
and
janet
lewin,
all
from
the
community
development
department,
and
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
mac
to
tee
this
up.
Matt.
U
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki.
So,
in
the
last
update,
we
were
asking
for
council
direction
to
initiate
a
specific
implementation
strategy
within
the
affordable
housing
plan.
This
is
our
twice
a
year
update
on
the
progress
on
all
of
the
strategies
that
are
contained
within
the
plan
and
council
will
will
start
to
get
used
to
seeing
a
similar
format
in
each
of
these
updates.
U
Where
we
talk
about
the
number
of
units
created
the
effectiveness
of
each
of
the
implementation
strategies
and
for
those
that
haven't
yet
been
fully
implemented,
the
timing
of
when
those
things
are
likely
to
come
back
so
we're
entering
year.
Four
after
adoption
of
the
strategy,
it's
a
ten
year
strategy
designed
to
get
between
two
thousand
and
twenty
five
hundred
units.
Several
of
you
made
comments
during
the
last
presentation.
U
You
know,
as
we
look
at
this
becoming
such
an
enormous
need.
You
know.
How
are
we
looking
at?
How
we're
defining
success
is
sort
of
a
theme
that
I've
heard
from
folks
in
the
community
and
from
our
conversations
individually
and
collectively
here
with
the
council.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
tara
and
janet
and
we'll
walk
you
through
what's
been
going
on
the
last
six
months
and
where
we're
headed
in
the
next
six.
U
W
I
can
I
can
be
picking
this
up.
This
is
janet
lewin
and,
as
mac
mentioned,
there's
no
direction
tonight.
We're
just
happy
to
be
here
and
present
to
council
an
update
on
the
city's,
affordable
housing
strategy.
W
So
the
agenda
is
a
similar
format
to
what
we
bring
to
you
in
every
six
month
update.
We
give
you
some
context
for
the
affordable
housing
strategy,
how
many
units
of
affordable
housing
have
been
achieved
since
our
last
update
our
since
the
strategy
was
adopted
and
the
effectiveness
of
the
programs
that
have
been
implemented
and
our
progress
in
implementing
those
actions
in
the
affordable
housing
strategy?
W
Next,
so,
council
adopted
the
affordable
housing
strategy
in
june
2017,
but
the
21
actions
of
the
strategy
are
being
adopted
over
a
phased
multi-year
work
program.
In
somewhat
more
than
three
years,
significant
progress
has
been
made
on
several
important
tools,
including
adoption
of
affordable
housing,
incentives
in
eastgate
and
downtown
we've.
Seen
delivery
of
affordable
homes
increase
four-fold
over
our
historical
averages
before
the
affordable
housing
strategy,
and
we
expect
more
progress
as
we
implement
the
full
suite
of
tools.
W
W
Slide
so
this
table
shows
the
over
1200
units
of
affordable
housing
that
we
have
realized
since
june
of
2017,
when
we
adopted
the
affordable
housing
strategy
in
some
tools,
we've
achieved
more
units
than
targeted,
especially
in
preservation
of
existing
older
apartments.
W
And
this
table
shows
over
this
over
600,
affordable
housing
units
that
are
currently
in
the
pipeline
through
a
combination
of
market
incentives
like
multi-family
tax
exemption
land,
use,
incentives
in
downtown
and
bell
red
and
direct
subsidy
funding
through
arch
and
making
of
public
surplus
property
available
for
affordable
housing.
Next.
W
W
W
Slide
this
table,
which
is
also
attachment
a
in
the
council
memo,
shows
our
monitoring
of
which
adopted
actions
are
achieving
affordable
units
in
the
bottom.
If
you
can
see
of
the
third
column,
it
shows
the
expected
yield
that
when
the
strategy
is
fully
implemented,
that
the
actions
of
the
strategy
can
yield
2500,
affordable
units
over
10
years
for
actions
that
have
been
implemented.
W
Performance
has
been
consistent
with
the
expected
yield
for
for
many
of
these
actions,
for
preservation
for
direct
subsidy
and
for
land
use
incentives
in
bell
red
and
downtown.
As
elizabeth
mentioned
before,
we
were
noticing
that
the
multi-family
tax
exemption
was
not
ex
yielding
expected
as
expected.
So
that's
why
we're
going
back
into
that
program
next
slide.
W
So
this
shows
the
implemented
action
since
2017
I'd
like
to
call
out
also
how
much
has
been
done
in
just
the
last
six
months,
including
well
council
tonight,
initiating
a
second
review
of
the
multifamily
tax
exemption
program
council's
funding
in
july
through
arch
of
eastgate
shelter,
which
will
bring
a
hundred
beds
of
shelter
and
the
polaris
at
eastgate,
which
is
300
units
of
affordable
housing
council
initiated
a
couple
months
ago.
The
c1
action
to
provide
a
density
bonus
for
affordable
housing,
on
faith,
non-profit
housing
and
public
service
surplus
properties.
W
And-
and
I
guess
we
can
take
that
bridge
housing
proposal
as
a
as
a
good
action
that
we've
achieved
in
the
last
six
months
through
our
work.
W
The
last
few
actions,
I
would
say
the
ones
below
the
xx
xx3
dwelling
unit
update
those
are
have
estimated
timelines
because
they're
out
in
the
future-
or
they
have
not
been
included
yet
in
in
the
work
program
either
for
cd
or
for
la
or
for
development
services,
and
we
can
come
back
to
this
with
council
questions.
It's
a
lot
to
take
in
next
slide.
W
I
think
we've
covered
a
lot
of
this,
but
many
of
the
actions
that
forward
the
affordable
housing
strategy
will
be
implemented
through
cross-department
efforts.
W
And
although
this
shows
both
current
and
upcoming
work
programs,
it
does
not
show
all
the
additional
housing
efforts
that
are
going
on
in
the
city,
both
in
community
development
and
other
departments,
including
administrate
ministering.
Our
existing,
affordable
housing
programs
working
with
our
partner
arch
on
the
east
side,
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
and
support
for
our
regional,
affordable
housing
partners,
psrc
working
with
king
county
joint
recommendations
committee
and
the
affordable
housing
committee
of
the
gmpc
and
last,
let's
go
to
the
summary.
W
So
progress
to
date,
you
know
both
what
we've
achieved
the
over
1200
units
and
the
pipeline.
It
indicates
that
we
can
achieve
beyond
our
target
of
2500
to
make
a
greater
impact
of
addressing
affordable
housing
need
the
units
achieved
each
year
we
expect
to
increase
as
the
actions
are
adopted
and
implemented.
W
We
have
learned
the
importance
of
implementing
a
variety
of
strategies
and
affordabilities
and
building
partnerships,
including
business
and
philanthropy,
to
achieve
more
than
we
can
do
on
our
own.
I
think
it's
unexpected
how
much
the
partnerships
with
business
have
resulted
in
preservation,
for
example,
of
affordable
housing
units
this
this
last
few
years.
W
So
next
slide.
W
Again,
no
direction
is
required.
This
is
an
informational
briefing
and
I'm
happy
to
take
questions.
A
G
G
You
know
putting
the
plan
in
place
and
and
working
on
this,
so
I'm
I'm
just
very
excited
with
this
going
forward.
I
did
have
a
couple
things
to
ask
or
talk
about.
One
is
on
the
numbers
a
little
bit
curious.
Why
we're,
including
homeless,
shelter
numbers
in
the
affordable
housing
goals?
G
Those
are
I
mean,
they're
related,
but
they're.
You
know
part
of
the
thing
with
house.
Affordable
housing
is
that
we
want
to
build
that,
so
we
can
keep
people
bring
people
out
of
the
shelter
and
keep
people
from
going
into
a
shelter,
and
I
I
just
think
that
kind
of
it's
not
a
lot,
but
it's
just
not
clean
in
terms
of
looking
at
our
goals
of
affordable
housing.
I
mean
people
moving
into
a
place
and
being
there
okay.
So
I'd
like
to
take
a
look
at
that,
the
other
is
the
goal
itself.
G
This
is
very
exciting.
It
doesn't.
It
happens
from
time
to
time,
but
to
have
some
goals
that
you
set
four
years
ago
in
a
certain
different
time.
Period
seem
to
be
well
within
reaching
and
going
past
that
and
at
the
same
time
being
in
effect
in
four
years,
even
more
overwhelmed
with
the
need
for
affordable
housing.
G
You
know
we're
having
a
big
big
increase
in
people
moving
into
bellevue,
I
mean
a
lot
of
them
can
afford
those
houses
that
are
apartments
that
people
mentioned
earlier.
That
cost
the
heck
of
a
lot.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
people,
and
you
know
coming
in
to
work
in
service
industries,
industries
and
everything
else,
and
so
the
workforce
housing
is
very
important
and
more
and
more
people
because
of
covet
are
having
trouble
losing
homes.
G
The
demand
for
affordable
housing,
I
think,
is
just
balloon.
So
I
would
you
know
like
to
see
us
take
a
look
at
this
and
and
be
stretch
yourself
again,
and
we
can
pat
ourselves
on
the
back
we're
getting
close
to
25
hundred.
But
it
kind
of
tells
me
that
maybe
we
underestimated
that
time,
which
is
it's
okay,
it's
nice
to
hit
a
goal
to
hit
it.
G
But
I
really
would
like
you
to
to
really
look
at
those
two
things:
taking
the
the
shelter
temporary
shelter
numbers
out
and
think
about
it.
What
would
you
you
know
what
would
be
a
stretch
goal
for
us?
Let's
look
at
what
we
can
do
because
we're
making
some
changes
now
in
the
in
the
you
know.
In
our
last
conversation,
some
things
that
are
will
help
us
increase
building
of
affordable
housing
and
we're
doing
a
lot
more
work
in
in
partnership
we're
having
an
arch
program.
G
That
is
revitalized
and,
I
think
stronger.
We
have
a
lot
more
going
on
with
king
county
and
we
have
a
lot
lot
more
going
on
with
the
business
community
who
really
understand
and
want
to
help
make
this
happen.
So
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
in
front
of
us
to
be
to
really
push
out
there
and
and
come
for
some
of
these.
G
You
know
really
bigger,
bigger
goals
to
meet
the
need,
because
we
don't
want
to
get
through
at
some
point
and
say:
well
we
got
2500
or
2700
and
hey
we
did
it
so
we
can
coast.
I
just
want
we're
going
to
have
to
really
step
this
up
and
meet
it
and
the
good
news
is:
we
have
a
program,
a
process
goals,
strategies
to
meet
that.
So,
let's
put
the
you
know
the
rubber,
the
road
and
the
car
on
the
road
and
get
it
going
a
little
better.
G
So
that's
that's
my
wish
and
appreciation
for
the
work
you're
doing,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
because
staff
has
just
done
a
tremendous
job
of
putting
this
all
together
and
pulling
it
together.
So,
let's
think
big,
let's
come
out
of
this
pandemic
and
ready
to
roar
and
serve
an
increasing
need
for
affordable
housing
in
bellevue.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you
madame,
the
one
thing
I'd
like
to
add
is
what
we
heard
previously
rent
to
own.
I
don't
know
how
much
we
have
discussed
our
if
there
needs
to
be
look
at
that
in
more
more
detail.
So
beside
that
remember,
rent
to
own
what
kind
of
program
can
we
have
on
that?
Other
than
that?
I
have
no
more
questions.
S
Yes,
thank
you
and
janet.
I
just
want
to
really
appreciate
your
steadfast
work
in
really
this
this
area
of
increasing,
affordable
housing.
I
think
there's
an
urgency
to
it
that
we
need
to
keep
pushing.
I
agree
with
the
comments
that
have
been
made
previously.
I
think
that
job
and
housing
balance
is
one
that
we
really
need
to
pay
attention
to,
because
we
are
more
jobs
are
coming
to
bellevue.
S
So
I
like
the
fact
that
we
have
a
variety
of
strategies,
we're
looking
at
partnerships
preservation.
I
think
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
really
focusing
on
that
a
couple
of
areas
that
I
did
have.
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
also
moving
with
urgency,
and
that
is
that,
if
I
look
at
the
count
from
the
last
three
years,
there's
only
been
32
adus
that
have
been
permitted
in
bellevue.
S
So
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
you
know
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
really
look
at
that,
because
it
is
also
an
opportunity
for
the
people
living
in
to
have
that
as
an
option
to
be
able
to
do
an
adu
where
maybe
the
the
grandparents
are
moving
into
the
adu
and
and
their
kids
with
with
grandkids
are
moving
into
the
main
unit.
S
So
I
think
there's
that
I
would
also
like
to
make
sure
that
we're
focused
on
the
130th
tod
and
where
what
are
we
going
to
be
doing
to
make
progress
on
that?
I
understand
we're
we're
making
some
progress
with
the
faith
communities.
S
I'd
like
to
understand
more
about,
what's
been
happening
with
that
engagement
and
whether
we're
starting
to
see
some
things
move
because
they're
dispersed
throughout
the
city,
and
then
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
supporting
my
comment
about
the
rent
to
own,
because
I
do
think
that
that
is
a
whole
piece
of
the
affordability
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
only
looking
at
renting
that
we
have
a
pathway
to
generational
wealth.
S
So
that's
important
to
me
and
just
glad
to
see
that
we're
projecting
to
be
over
2500
units
over
10
years,
so
just
like
my
former
colleague
said
le
or
previous
colleague,
let's
look
at
whether
we
can
be
looking
at
another
stretch
goal
so
that
we
can
make
even
more
progress,
because
the
need
is
definitely
there,
even
within
the
last
three
years
in
terms
of
that
increase.
So
thank
you.
S
A
You
deputy
mayor
newinghouse,.
T
Thank
you,
mayor,
john
thanks.
So
much
for
the
great
update
and
the
presentation
tonight.
Like
my
colleagues,
I
share
a
lot
of
the
enthusiasm
of
this
going
forward.
You
know,
I
don't
think
we
should.
You
know,
look
down
upon
hitting
this
goal
or
going
to
hit
this
goal.
24
2500,
affordable,
housing,
that's
fantastic!
T
There
has
been
conversation
about
what
should
that
new
goal
be
or
what
should
we,
you
know
be
looking
at
go
going
past
that
so
my
first
question
is:
how
did
how
did
we
get
to
that
2500
goal?
What
was
the
criteria
or
what
was
the
the
model
that
we
used
to
come
up
with
2500?
We
keep
talking
about
this
number,
but
I'm
not
sure
how
we
ever
got
there,
but
that
I
think
it
was
put
in
place
before
I
was
on
the
council.
T
W
W
And
then
this
is
the
line
here,
this
third
column
over
the
estimate
for
each
of
these
actions
that
would
produce
affordable
units
and
we
added
up
what
the
yield
might
be
from
what
council
adopted
in
this
in
the
action
strategy.
W
So,
for
example,
if
council
had
adopted
and
we
brought
back
different
options,
if
council
had
adopted
inclusionary,
it
would
have
been
a
higher
yield.
You
know
and
that
really
isn't
a
goal
or
a
need-based
goal.
It
was
what
we
felt
that
these
tools,
the
high-end
estimate
that
the
staff
and
consultants
did
on
our
analysis-
and
this
was
a
very
analytical
process
to
adopt
these
actions.
W
We
looked
at
everything
that
we
might
be
able
to
get
out
or
squeeze
out
of
these
these
tools
and
that's
where
we
came
with
the
number
and
if
and
if
everybody's
excited
about
you
know
increasing
this,
we
may
have
to
come
back
and
you
know
beef
up
the
actions.
T
Absolutely
absolutely
and
then
the
second
question
before
I
yield
my
time,
so
it
would
appear
that
so
partnership
with
housing
nonprofits
certainly
has
been
the
most
effective
of
of
programs
and
we've
looked
at
updating
the
mste
prior
to
this
presentation.
T
Are
there?
Is
there
any
other
low-hanging
fruit
that
we
should
take
a
look
at
that
might
substantially
increase
a
number
of
potential
units
in
in
you
know,
in
your
estimation,
in
your
due
diligence
here
that
we
perhaps
haven't
addressed
or
spoken
to
yet
that
you
would
like
to
highlight.
W
Well,
you
know:
we've
built
the
capacity
of
our
non-profit
housing
partners
over
the
years.
They're
really
wonderful,
partnering
partners
to
work
with
and
council
has
also
provided
funds
for
affordable
housing
that
we're
we're
anxious
to
get
out
the
door
that
new
fund
from
the
state
we're
anxious
to
get
out
the
door.
W
But
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
moving
on
that
c1
being
able
to
add
density
to
public
surplus
and
church
lands,
because
our
partners
are
very,
very
they're,
struggling
to
find
land
and
opportunities
where
to
put
the
affordable
housing
in
bellevue,
and
that's
one
window
that
we're
trying
to
open
up
for
them.
W
So
right
now,
I
think
it's
access
to
property.
We
seem
to
be
putting
the
other
pieces
in
place.
D
All
right
thanks
mayor
and
thanks
janet
for
the
the
great
briefing
my
single
point
here
is,
I
think,
just
building
on
the
need
to
revisit
the
goal
and
understanding
what
factors
played
into
this
current
estimate.
I'd
love
for
us
to
get
to-
and
this
may
not
be
something
that
we
can
do
tomorrow,
but
I'd
love
to
get
to
a
more
dynamic
model,
because
factors
are
changing
on
an
ongoing
basis
and
it'd
be
great
to
know
like
where
we
need
to
do
more
work
as
those
as
those
conditions
change.
D
K
Great
discussion
tonight
now
I'm
really
excited
about
this.
The
good
news
is,
is
that
it
looks
like
we're
going
to
reach
our
goal,
but
it
the
bad
news,
is
that
well
that
we
or
you
know,
aren't
going
to
exceed
it
by
more
than
about
20.
So
what
that
means?
We
need
to
get
more
aggressive
because
we
need
more
housing.
So
a
couple
of
comments
or
questions.
First
of
all,
I
I
support
re-looking
at
the
goal
and
seeing
what
we
can
get
to
next.
K
K
You
know
affordable
housing
and
housing
targets
for
all
the
cities,
as
well
as
growth
targets,
and
that
should
be
coming
next
year,
I'm
on
that
committee,
but
I
think
that
it
would
be
good
to
have
that
context
so
that
we
can
see
what
the
county
is
doing
as
a
whole
and
how
we
can
play
our
part
in
that,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
make
not
just
bellevue
work,
but
the
county
works.
K
So
I
think
that
would
be
really
good
context
to
look
at,
and
you
know
our
staff
is
all
over
that.
Second
of
all,
on
the
I
know
that
c1
is
the
next
goal
we're
going
to
be
working
on,
because
land
is
a
real
issue,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
some
concerns
about
is
that
the
goal
may
not
get
us
exactly
what
we
want
in
the
projects
that
we
want,
if
we
don't
implement
it
correctly.
K
So
if
you
look
at
the
technical
advisory
group
and
the
folks
that
were
on
that,
they
really
recommend
dispersal
of
units
so
not
having
every
one
whole
project-
that's
all
50,
ami
and
below.
You
might
have
a
project
that
has
30
ami,
you
know
some
80
ami
and
some
market
units.
An
example
of
that
is,
I
wrote
it
down.
Is
the
south
kirkland
park
and
ride.
K
Many
of
us
were
at
that
opening
several
years
ago,
and
that
is
only
25,
affordable,
75
market
units,
but
it's
30
ami
and
that's
what
it
took
to
make
that
project
really
work.
There's
one
up
in
woodenville,
that's
64
market
rate
units
with
140,
affordable
units,
so
I
think,
having
a
mix
is
really
what
makes
it
more
successful
and
it
seems
like
if
you
look
at
this.
K
I
don't
know
if
it
was
this
or
slide
14
that
it
looks
like
we're
starting
to
push
for
more
units
at
the
lower
rates
that
are
all
clumped
together.
So
one
project
at
50-
and
I
really
oh
maybe
it
was-
I
thought
it
was
14.
anyway,
one
of
the
slides
where
you
had
the
projects
that
we're
getting
and
the
ones
that
are
in
the
pipeline.
K
So
I
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
and
be
really
thoughtful
at
how
we're
going
to
encourage
the
ami
mix
because
for
one
developers
are
more
likely
to
do
the
project
if
it's
30
ami
with
70
market
and
we
get
the
really
low
ami
and
and
the
way
to
get
more
projects
is
to
have
not
only
the
government
subsidize
the
nonprofit
subsidize
them,
but
to
get
private
developers
to
build
them
as
well
and
with
the
tod
that
we've
all
been
talking
about.
Those
are
a
lot.
K
A
lot
of
that
is
privately
owned,
and
so,
if
we
want
to
have
the
deeper
affordability,
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way
through
far
incentives
and
mfte
incentives
and
other
ways,
or
maybe
even
a
direct
subsidy,
to
buy
the
deeper
affordability
for
a
few
of
the
units
and
mix
them
in
because
it's
better
for
the
people
that
are
living
in
the
deeply
affordable
units
to
be
in
a
mixed
project.
K
And
it
also
takes
the
stigma
away.
If
you
have
a
project,
there
was
one
out
in
issaquah
where
the
elementary
school
people,
the
administration
and
parents
were
all
up
in
arms
because
they
thought
they
were
gonna.
I
mean
it's
not
right,
but
they
were
all
up
in
arms
about
this
very,
very
low
income
unit.
It
ended
up
being
a
mixed
unit,
no
problem
it.
K
That's
that's
broader
than
the
c1
policy,
but
that's
going
to
be
part
of
the
c1
policy,
so
I
would
encourage
staff
to
definitely
give
us
feedback
on
that
and
and
for
all
of
us
on
the
council,
to
be
very
cognizant
of
that,
because
we
want
good.
We
want
the
projects,
but
we
want
the
projects
to
also
be
good
projects
and
to
get
more
units.
K
So
that's
my
two
cents,
and
also
on
the
last
topic,
where
we
talked
about
the
looking
at
the
impact
on
tax
revenue
on
mfte
the
just
since
we
didn't
have
another
kick
at
the
can
on
that.
I,
when
I
was
talking
about
the
adding
the
new
construction
to
the
av
that
wouldn't
take
away
the
the
benefit,
but
what
it
would
do
is
it
would
help
the
city
be
more
held
harmless
and
therefore
we
could
very
much
encourage
more
of
these.
K
A
A
If
you
subtract
the
beds
as
housing
from
the
homeless,
shelter
and
you
take
out
the
preservation
of
pre-existing,
affordable
housing,
you've
only
created
in
four
years,
565,
affordable
units
and
the
housing
preservation,
even
though
that's
a
goal
to
work
with
partners,
that's
been
going
on
in
bellevue
well
before
we
had
an
affordable
housing
strategy.
A
So
I
would
really.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
this
tonight
and
I
appreciate
the
work
that
has
been
done
and
the
work
can
only
be
as
good
as
the
council
direction,
so
I
really
would
like,
even
though
you're
not
taking
direction
tonight,
I
would
really
like
to
encourage
a
more
aggressive
approach
to
creating
affordable
housing
to
implementing
these
strategies.
A
I
have
some
thoughts
on
some
of
the
strategies
in
terms
of
b2
strategy.
That's
the
adus!
I
would
like
to
look
at
limiting
that
to
two
people
and
one
off
street
parking
space.
A
I
think
that
one
of
the
biggest
problems
with
putting
these
in
in
residential
areas
is
the
impact
that
it
can
have
when
you
bring
a
whole
another
family
into
an
area
that
cannot
accommodate
that
many
people
and
that
many
cars.
So
I
think
we
have
to
be
thoughtful.
So
if
we
could
think
about
that,
I'd
like
to
look
at
the
micro
housing
as
we
talked
about
in
the
other
in
the
mfte
discussion.
I
think
that
is
something
especially
in
tod
that
I'd
love
to
see.
A
You
know,
there's
so
many
homeless,
women
and
men
that
could
afford
300
a
month
and
if
we
had
affordable
micro
units
that
could
get
down
to
that
level.
There
are
so
many
people
who
would
never
reach
homelessness
because
they
would
have
that
option
for
them.
A
I
don't
know
what
the
answer
is,
but
we
have
really
good
examples
in
other
cities
that
have
done
it
and
other
cities
that
have
not,
and
it
would
be
great
to
have
some
sort
of
an
analysis
to
see
if
we
implemented
that
in
tod
how
that
would
affect
our
development
of
affordable
housing
and
then
in
terms
of
the
goal
setting.
That
was
a
good
conversation
that
deputy
mayor
newan
house
initiated
about.
How
do
we
set
that
goal?
It
might
be
helpful
to
create
a
goal
where
we
have
a
percentage
of
all
development.
A
All
residential
development
have
that
our
goal
is
to
that.
We
have
30
percent
of
all
development
be
affordable,
or
something
like
that.
So
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
staff
to
bring
back
a
recommendation
on
goals,
and
I
really
think
that
you
know
our
large
employers
are
creating
demands
for
housing
blessedly
in
our
city,
and
I
would
really
like
to
tap
them
to
help
us
bring
the
resources.
A
We
need
to
achieve
these
goals
and
I
hope
that
staff
will
be
having
that
kind
of
a
conversation
in
the
future
and
that
we
can
all
come
together
to
aggressively
create
the
affordable
housing
numbers
that
we
need
to
have
a
whole
spectrum
of
housing
for
people
who
are
moving
up
the
income
ladder
and
those
who
are
moving
down
the
income
ladder.
And
that
is
my
goal
for
the
city
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
what
staff
can
do.
And
I
I
support
you
in
all
your
efforts
and
thank
you
very
much.
U
Oh,
thank
you.
Thank
you
mayor.
Maybe
just
a
couple
updates
on
there
were.
There
are
things
that
we
are
coordinating
with
our
development
services
department
on
so
some
of
the
things
that
are
coming
up
today,
like
the
micro
units.
U
One
of
the
big
issue
that
comes
up
with
micro
units
is
relationship
of
parking
and
parking
provisions,
because
typically
it's
number
of
stalls
per
unit
which,
when
you
get
a
much
smaller
unit,
it's
different
than
a
much
bigger
unit.
Of
course.
So
we're
working
out
the
resourcing
now
between
my
department
and
development
services,
to
look
at
how
quickly
we
can
move
those
luca
things
forward
for
council
consideration.
U
There
have
been
some
other
things
that
have
happened
as
well.
I
think
deputy
mayor
newinghouse
asked
well.
Where
are
we
on
some
low-hanging
fruit?
Things?
We've
been
working
on
some
of
the
parking
and
we
did
the
interim
control
ordinance.
We've
been
looking
at
zero
lot
line
and
town
home
development
that
may
sound
like
really
minor
things,
but
they're
really
important
to
a
town
home
developer,
to
be
able
to
plat
in
the
way
that
they
want
to
so
that
they
can
get
the
units
created.
U
So
a
number
of
those
things
have
been
coming:
they're
just
coming
in
small
bite-sized
chunks
to
the
council.
The
big
moves
now
really
are
the
c1
and
the
mfte
and
we're
going
to
push
those
through
and
so
we're
working
between
mr
brennan
and
I
on
what
the
2021
strategic
plan
for
the
two
departments
looks
like
and
we'll
probably
have
more
on
that
later.
A
Thank
you
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
for
your
good
work.
Okay,
I
would
I'm
gonna
see
get
the
view,
so
I
can
see
everybody.
Are
there
any
more
comments
or
questions
from
the
council?
A
S
S
If
we
can
look
at
maybe
two
people
and
a
parking
on
the
street,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
strategy
is
also
advanced
along
with
these
other
two,
because
I
think
they're
complementary
to
the
whole,
and
that
really
goes
to
the
ability
of
having
small,
individual,
discrete
adus
and
we've
been
hearing
from
the
community
a
desire
for
them
to
do
that.
But
the
code
doesn't
really
allow
them
to
do
that,
and
so
I
I
think,
that's
a
really
important
piece
to
also
include.
