Hello
again
mayor
robertson,
robinson,
deputy
mayor
neil
house
and
other
council
members,
my
name
is
court
olson.
I
live
in
lake
hills.
I'd
like
to
thank
each
of
you
for
the
enthusiasm
you
expressed
for
a
strong
environmental
stewardship
plan
in
the
council
meeting
last
monday.
That
was
great
special
thanks
to
council
members
on
who
let
off
the
council
comments,
then
by
suggesting
that
this
city
incorporate
actions
from
the
climate
action
priorities,
workbook
that
was
developed
by
the
people
for
climate
action
organization.
G
G
G
Initially,
we
found
over
300
actions
we
combined
or
called
those
down
into
the
current
list
of
168
actions,
and
we
sorted
those
into
12
action
categories
for
each
action
in
the
pca.
Workbook
the
pca
researchers
offered
their
consensus
judgment
on
the
potential
benefits
and
relative
costs
to
city
government
and
to
the
community.
G
G
The
pca
researchers
did
this
work
and
they
are
no
dummies.
They
included
myself
and
a
former
city,
a
city
planner,
a
professor,
a
developer,
a
technical
writer,
a
teacher,
a
software
specialist
and
a
couple
of
engineers,
because
the
city
attributes
half
of
bellevue's
greenhouse
gas
emissions
to
buildings.
I'd
like
to
point
out
that,
in
the
building
section
of
that
pca
workbook
we
listed
four
must
have
actions
plus
16.

Thank
you
good
evening,
city
and
environmental
stewardship
leaders.
My
name
is
barbara
braun.
I
live
at
13609
southeast
43rd
place,
I'm
a
long
time
resident
of
bellevue,
and
I
run
my
business
in
bellevue,
I'm
active
in
local
bellevue
climate
groups
such
as
people
for
climate
action
and
300
trees,
I'm
speaking
tonight
as
a
community
member
deeply
concerned
for
our
collective
future.
H
First,
thank
you
for
your
commitment
and
continued
progress
on
the
esp.
I
commend
you
for
taking
bold
the
bold
approach.
It
is
very
encouraging
and
thank
you
that
said
we
are
not
there
yet,
as
court
was
just
talking
about,
the
plan
still
falls
short
in
addressing
our
largest
greenhouse
gas
emission
problems,
buildings
and
transportation
in
a
time
frame
that
will
make
a
difference.
H
H
H
This
will
require
a
more
assertive
approach
in
the
esp
require
prioritizing
the
biggest
emission
sources
and
require
more
city-driven
programs
and
regulations
through
land
use,
code
ordinances
and
permits
in
the
second
area
drastically
reducing
missions
from
existing
buildings.
The
state
building
code
focuses
on
new
construction.
H
H
H
Number
two
quickly
establish
a
hydrofluorocarbon
regulations
and
number
three
develop
a
boulder
home
energy
retrofit
program
in
the
third
area.
Build
a
proactive
coalition
of
business
and
resident
experts,
bring
a
balanced
group
together,
consisting
of
business
communities.
Experts
like
those
from
microsoft
and
facebook
who
already
have
strong
environmental
plans
and
expertise.
H
B
Thank
you,
miss
braun
that
reaches
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
speaker
list.
If
there's
anyone
on
this
call,
we
do
have
a
few
minutes
left
under
oral
communications.
If
you

comment
on
a

other
than
the

public

this
evening,
please

B
9.,
mr
hooper,
I
see,
I
see
the
flash
off
and
on
mr
hooper,
can
you
hear
me.
I
Okay,
thank
you
good
evening,
mary
robinson
doug,
hooper,
106,
37,
southeast
22nd,
street
and
inatai.
Recently,
all
of
us
in
bellevue
received
your
delightful
communications
from
the
city,
explaining
all
the
great
traffic
improvements
we
were
having
around
the
city.
One
thing
I
didn't
notice
there
and
I
realized
that
it
is
in
coordination
with
the
state,
is
that
there
was
nothing
discussed
or
present
or
future
in
the
ramps
between
bellevue
way,
southbound
onto
I-90
westbound
and
onto
405,
both
north
and
southbound.
I
If
you've
driven
on
those
ramps,
recently
you'll
realize
there's
quite
a
few
potholes
in
there.
In
fact,
rebar
is
exposed
in
both
of
those
areas,
especially
in
the
ramp
in
the
portion
going
down
towards
victoria,
realize
that
that's
state
authority.
But
I
wonder
if
we
have
some
input
in
there
with
whoever
our
representative
with
metro
or
the
state
is
to
do
something
about
that.
If
we
watch
our
weather,
we
know
that
we've
got
plenty
of
rain
and
we
are
just
starting
to
get
in
the
freezing
temperatures
at
night.
I
That
means
those
roadways
are
not
going
to
be
very
passable.
This
winter,
the
the
other
ramp
from
I-90
westbound
to
bellevue
way
on,
would
be
northbound
onto
bellevue
way
that
ramp
back
in
the
spring
received
some
patchwork,
but
that
patchwork
is
not
in
very
good
shape
at
the
present
time.
I
So
just
to
bring
this
up
to
you,
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
addressed
it
to
you,
but
it's
something
that
us
residents
down
in
enetai
encounter
every
day
also
to
the
intertie
neighborhood
association
would
like
to
remind
you
and
bring
up
to
date
as
the
project
down
in
the
anti
beach
area
finishes,
especially
with
the
the
the
piping
that's
coming
over
from
mercer
island.
All
of
us
in
the
neighborhood
would
appreciate
to
keep
in
mind
that
we
would
love
to
see
phase
two
of
the
development
of
that
park
be
completed.
A
Okay,
thank
you
city
manager.
Could
you
please
follow
up
on
those
reports
about
the
the
on
and
off
ramp
conditions
so
that
we
might
report
that
to
the
state.
C
Yeah

robinson
and
council

I
have
one
item
of
the
city

As

the
top
four
for
our
population
category
125
000
to
250
000
for
the

four
years,
and
this

will
make
the
second
time

have
been
awarded.
First,
the
digital
cities
survey
is
an
annual
comprehensive
survey
that
is
open
to
any
u.s
city.
J
The
services
include
things
like
data
management
and
data
analytics,
and
we
highlighted
a
lot
of
work
tied
to
the
smart
cities
program
in
that
category.
It
includes
networking
and
security,
digital
innovation,
culture
and
leadership,
application
development,
making
sure
that
cities
are
using
user-centered
technology
and,
very
importantly,
that
these
services
are
cost
effective
for
cities
this
year.
The
survey
also
included
a
section
on
coven
19
response,
as
mini
technology,
services
has
been
have
been
instrumental
in
the
continuity
of
remote
city
operations.
J
The
first
place
award
is
a
very
special
honor
this
year,
during
a
time
when
so
many
city,
services
and
employees
had
to
pivot
and
shift
how
we
offer
services
to
residents
and
businesses,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
pj
rodriguez
who's,
going
to
share
some
of
the
specific
projects
and
services
that
bellevue
highlighted
in
our
awards.
Application
this
year.
K
Good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
p.j
rodriguez
chief
operations
officer
at
bellevue,
it
definitely
happy
thrilled
and
proud
to
be
here.
Speaking
to
you
about
digital
cities
award
that
sabre
just
introduced
as
mentioned.
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
projects
and
applications
that
that
the
city
has
worked
on.
You
may
recall
that
some
of
these
projects
and
applications
were
previously
highly
highlighted
in
the
october
5th
council
meeting,
as
they
were
part
of
the
public
technology
institute
institute
awards.
If
you
could
move
to
the
next
slide,
please
some
of
these
are
robotic
process.
K
Automation,
data
migration
project,
this
development
services
piloted
the
first
rpa
project
for
bellevue.
This
particular
technology
provides
a
platform
to
automate
complex
and
manual
processes
and
freeing
up
internal
human
resources
for
higher
value
work.
K
The
application
efficiently
manages
911
data
for
immediate
response
to
traffic
incidents
and
posts
event
assessment
by
city
traffic
engineers,
and
the
last
one
in
here
is
a
universal
design
guide,
which
was
created
to
advance
awareness
and
consideration
for
accessibility
in
the
planning.
Events
and
programs
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
our
pivot
as
we
pivot
towards
covet
19.
In
our
response
here
we
highlight
the
digital
services
and
projects
bellevue
undertook
and
deployed
in
response
to
the
pandemic.
K
The
first
one
is
launching
the
covet
19
chatbot
for
the
public
in
six
languages.
The
kovit
19
chatbot
enhanced
our
services
with
its
ability
to
interact
with
the
public
looking
for
covet
19
specific
information.
Along
with
that,
we
also
launched
a
chat
bot
for
it
help
desk.
It
answers
the
most
frequent
questions,
internal
for
our
internal
end
users.
K
We
also
supported
tools
and
technology
for
remote
meetings
and
engagement,
including
an
enterprise
zoom,
deploy
deployment
which
has
been
in
use
since
may
to
support
council
meetings,
community
engagement
and
online
gatherings
for
large
groups.
This
was
definitely
a
rapid
pivot
for
the
organization
that
helped
us
to
continue
to
provide
services
internally,
as
well
as
our
citizens.
K
We
also
expanded
free
public
wi-fi
to
support
access
for
bellevue
school
public
schools.
We
also
collaborated
with
king
county
housing
authority
to
deploy
bellevue
connect
wi-fi
to
spiritwood
southeast
148th
highland
village
apartments,
which
is
in
northeast,
8th
street
and
somerset
gardens
apartment,
which
is
in
northeast
148th
street.
K
L
L
We
reach
out
to
other
jurisdictions
trying
to
solve
similar
problem
problems
such
as
the
city
of
seattle,
for
their
chat
bot,
effort,
city
of
spokane
on
their
customer
relationship,
management
and
king
county
and
other
jurisdictions
on
security
topics.
L
We
also
rely
on
private
partners
for,
for
example,
transof
solutions
in
using
our
traffic
videos
to
identify
safety
issues
at
our
intersections
as
part
of
our
vision,
zero
program,
we
engage
with
microsoft
on
our
chat
bot
efforts
also.
L
The
bellevue
street
lights
map
was
developed
to
support
small
cell
wireless
projects.
The
new
fire
inspection
system
was
developed
was
implemented
to
ensure
more
consistent
fire
inspections
and
support
cost
recovery
of
those
inspections.
L
We
also
just
release
a
real-time
traffic
map
to
provide
live
stream,
video
of
our
roads
to
our
public.
L
While
we
are
here
from
the
I.t
department
presenting
the
first
first

Thank

miyaki
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members
and
the
city
manager.
This
year's
budget
process
started
a
little
bit
later
than
usual.
Due
to
the
impacts
of
covet.
The
initial
budget
workshop
was
held
on
june
22nd,
where
council
was
briefed
on
the
estimated
impacts
of
covet
19
on
the
biennial
budget.
The
city
previously
held
two
public
hearings
on
july
27
and
september
21st
staff
has
provided
presentations
on
the
preliminary
budget
in
the
past
five
council
meetings
and
received
council
feedback.
M
This
slide
shows
a
more
detailed
calendar
and
the
topic
staff
has
presented
to
council.
In
the
past
five
weeks
on
october,
19th
city
manager,
miyaki
delivered
his
preliminary
budget,
which
included
a
16
million
annual
adjustments
in
the
general
fund
or
32
million
over
the
biennium.
M
M
Is
the
bls
fee
pending
council's
final
approval
and
three
property
tax
related
legislations,
including
the
substantial
need
ordinance
to
ensure
we
can
take
the
full
one
percent
property
tax
adjustment
and
a
backed
capacity
resolution
to
preserve
city's
bank
capacity,
as
well
as
a
levy
ordinance
to
set
the
2021
property
tax
levy
amount.
In
addition,
the
umbrella
budget
ordinance
that
sets
appropriations
by
fund
will
also
need
to
be
adopted.
M
This
is
just
a
recap
from
the
budget
presentation
from
october.
19Th
bellevue
is
a
full
service
city
and
the
city's
total
budget
is
complicated,
starting
from
the
far
right.
The
capital
investment
fund
helps
the
city
build
infrastructure
such
as
roads
parks,
water
sewer
systems,
then
to
the
left.
Special
purpose.
Funds
is
mainly
debt
to
ensure
the
city's
debt
obligations
are
met
in
the
middle.

and
spoke
to
you
all
in
october,
requesting
additional
funds
to
specifically
support
the
women,
the
single
women
in
their
transitional
housing
unit.
These
are
women
who
have
sometimes
have
particular
dietary
restrictions
and
seek
privacy
to
practice
their
prayers
five
times
a
day.
N
Bellevue
is,
is
a
diverse
community.
As
you
know,
we
at
at
least
30
percent
of
our
bellevue
population
is
asian
and,
and
then
we
have
other
groups
as
well.
50
of
our
community
is
is
white,
so
as
an
immigrant
welcoming
community,
and
indeed
my
faith
community,
has
named
itself
as
an
immigrant
welcoming
congregation.

My

bellevue,
washington,

good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
and
council
members,
my
husband
and
I
came
to
this
country
more
than
20
years
ago.
We
are
very
fortunate
to
call
bellevue
our
home.
Our
city
and
region
have
richly
diverse
cultures.
For
the
most
part,
though,
those
diverse
cultures
are
segmented,
disconnected
from
each
other
within
our
own
cultural
bubbles.
We
know
the
existence
of
other
cultures,
but
our
understanding
does
not
go
much
further
beyond
that.
O
Along
with
many
leaders
of
diverse
community
groups,
I
believe
that
a
bellevue
cross-cultural
center
is
essential
in
bringing
in
individual
community
groups.
Together
such
a
center
will
be
the
home,
a
welcoming
go-to
place
for
all
community
groups
to
share
our
values,
heritage,
customs,
arts
and
history.
This
center
will
help
to
remove
bubbles
around
individual
cultures
and
bring
about
cross-cultural
understanding.
O
O
Leaders
of
diverse
community
groups
are
very
passionate
about
figuring
out
the
vision,
mission
and
design
of
such
a
center.
We
also
know
that
the
center
will
not
be
about
realizing
the
vision
or
meeting
the
needs
of
individual
community
groups
in
a
segmented
way.
We
need
to
come
together
and
figure
it
out
together.
O
Therefore,
we
respectively
request
that
the
city
will
organize
gatherings
either
virtually
or
in
person
of
representatives
of
diverse
community
groups
such
as
the
one
at
bellevue
center
a
few
years
ago,
so
that
we
can
help
ship
the
vision,
mission
and
design
of
such
a
center
together.
Thank
you.
That's
the
end
of
my
testimony.
F
Yes,
hello.
Thank
you
there
for
having
me
today.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
today
and
this
way
for
the
council.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
of
you
guys
being
able
to
have
this
public
hearing.
I'm
bringing
you
guys
an
attention
to
the
cross-cultural
feasibility
that
one
part
of
the
organizations
around
the
community,
particularly
myself.
I
am
a
founder
and
ceo
of
this
diversity,
which
is
our
company
that
works
in
the
area
of
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion.
F
You
may
say
we
are
an
incubator
for
small
businesses.
I
also
I'm
a
founder
board
member
of
the
east
side
for
all
that
organization
in
the
area,
and
we
are
currently
partnering
with
cross-sector
organizations
and
communities
to
support
bellevue
cross-cultural
center
are
part
of
our
building
belonging
initiatives.
F
We
seek
to
develop
businesses
in
the
community
that
have
the
value
share
with
cultural
capital,
investment
by
cultivating
a
culture
of
inclusion,
equity
and
diversity
at
work
that
serve
the
greater
good
for
the
community.
Currently
we
have
an
opportunity
to
network
and,
furthermore,
have
the
capacity
to
build
community
to
organizations
in
the
area.
F
This
diversity
particular
resolve
are
businesses
that
would
like
to
bring
this
to
fruition
in
a
common
center
that
we
are
able
to
have
a
way
to
disseminate
information
to
build
the
community
all
together
from
profit,
nonprofit
and
companies
as
well.
Thank
you
for
having
me
today
and
we
look
forward
to
have
this.

P
P

Good
evening,
mayor
council
members,
my
name
is
matt
jack.
I'm
the
public
policy
director
for
the
bellevue
downtown
association,
I'm
here
with
chris
johnson,
from
the
bellevue
chamber
of
commerce
to
voice
support
for
the
preliminary
budget
released
in
october
and
urge
adoption.
As
is
please
see
your
packet
materials
to
reference.
Our
joint
letter
of
support,
in
addition
to
communicating
support
for
adopting
the
budget,
as
is
the
letter,
reiterates
a
few
points
from
our
september
message
and
acknowledges
a
few
issues
that
deserve
future
attention.
Chris
will
speak
to
those
finer
points
in
his
remarks.
P
P
We
commend
city,
council
and
staff
for
drafting
a
budget
that
responds
to
the
revenue
shortfall
while
funding
vital
services
and
capital
projects
that
support
recovery
and
growth.
This
budget
addresses
our
most
immediate
priority,
bolster
bolster
bellevue's
resiliency
against
the
recession,
to
ensure
the
city
is
positioned
for
a
swift
recovery
2020
through
the
city.
A
wicked
curveball
and
you've
knocked
it
out
of
the
park
with
this
budget,
but,
as
you
know,
hitting
a
homer
doesn't
win
you
the
game
to
share
how
we
win
the
game.
P
Q
Very
good
mayor,
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newinghouse
and
council
members
thanks
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
tonight's
public
hearing
and
thanks
to
my
colleague,
matt
jack,
for
reminding
us
all
that
our
goal
must
be
to
keep
bellevue
strong
during
the
current
budget
cycle,
the
chamber
and
the
bda
have
worked
together
like
never
before,
and
both
organizations
are
pleased
to
speak
with
one
voice
in
urging
adoption
of
the
proposed
budget
as
transmitted
back
in
september.
We
urge
you
to
do
the
following.
On
the
spending
side.
Q
Continuing
continue,
investments
in
covet,
19
response
and
economic
recovery
check,
maintain
current
levels
of
funding
for
police
and
fire
services.
Check
support
health
and
human
services
for
members
of
our
community,
who
are
struggling
to
meet
basic
needs
check.
Consider
a
phased
opening
of
fire
station
10.
In
order
to
defer
associated
staffing
costs
check
on
the
revenue
side,
we
urge
adoption
of
a
1
property
tax
increase
to
pay
for
basic
services
as
needed.
Q
At
the
same
time,
you
resisted
the
temptation
so
far
to
raise
taxes
further
during
tough
economic
times
when
so
many
businesses
and
individuals
are
struggling.
However,
there
are
still
a
few
arrows
left
in
the
quiver.
Should
additional
revenue
be
needed
for
the
upcoming
mid
by
or
in
subsequent
biennia
to
pay
for
bellevue's
future
growth?
The
proposed
budget
reduces
the
ending
fund
balance
to
15,
but
does
not
draw
it
down
further.
That
may
be
necessary
in
2022,
along
with
a
plan
to
pay
it
back.
Q
We'll
work
with
you
on
this
seek
federal
grant
or
loan
assistant
in
support
of
the
operating
budget.
We'll
work
with
you
on
this
aggressively
advocate
for
the
next
round
of
care
cares
act,
funding,
we'll
work
with
you
on
this.
The
city
manager
has
provided
you
with
a
prudent
budget
which
preserves
core
services
in
a
time
of
great
need
without
unduly
increasing
the
tax
burden,
and
we
urge
adoption.
Q
R
R
I'm
a
high
school
student
living
in
bellevue,
but
I
currently
attend
a
school
in
seattle,
even
though
there's
virtual
school
now
so
I'm
at
I'm
at
home
and
from
my
experience,
joining
programs
and
finding
activities
that
I
can
stick
with
has
been
difficult
and
a
lot
of
that
is
sort
of,
because
I've
been
unable
to
connect
with
other
students
in
the
sense
that
we
can
share
values
and
cultural
experiences,
and
I'm
also
unable
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
experiences
of
other
people
outside
of
my
preconceived
notions
and
often
that
can
feel
really
alienating.
R
And
it's
and
in
this
time
it's
becoming
more
important
than
ever,
that
we
as
a
whole
begin
to
free
ourselves
from
that
restricted
perspective
and
it's
safe
to
say
that
there
are
many
other
people,
my
age
who
feel
similarly
and
so
there's.
This
need
to
create
an
accessible
space
with
programs
where
people
can
really
get
to
know
and
connect
with
others
of
similar
and
different
cultures,
and
feel
comfortable
coming
back
to
that
space,
and
this
proposed
center
would
be
built
with
specifically
that
in
mind
it
would.
R
I'm
not
extremely
involved
with
the
project
itself,
but
I
believe
that
it's
really
important
and
that,
given
the
proper
resources,
the
effect
of
a
cross-cultural
center
can
be
really
far-reaching
to
even
younger
people.
Like
me
like
me,
and
would
be
great
to
have
for
other
groups
too.
So
please
fund
the
conceptual
design
of
this
center.
Thank
you.
For
your
time,.

house,
council
members
and
all
the
staff
that
have
worked
on
so
hard
on
the
budget.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
hard
work.
I
know
you've
done
on
the
budget
in
a
time
when
so
much
is
uncertain.
S
I'm
here
today,
because
I
love
how
green
this
place
is
and
because
I'm
concerned
about
our
young
people
and
their
future
in
a
time
of
climate
change,
I'm
speaking
for
people
for
climate
action,
bellevue,
pca

which
I'm
a
member
of
first.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
budget
allocation
for
the
implementation
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
This
is
item
cd46.
S
However,
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
are
essentially
in
an
emergency
situation
around
the
climate,
given
that
we
need
to
reduce
our
emissions
by
half
by
2030
or
faced
runaway
climate
disruption,
and
you
know
I'm
not
an
expert
on
budgets,
so
I
have
to
explain
when
I
see
the
925
000
shown
in
the
budget
item
for
the
period
of
2021
to
2027..
This
is
the
cd46
item.
S
Again,
I'm
offering
a
very
sincere
thank
you
for
the
budget
iron.
I
am
grateful
to
see
our
city
increase
our
budget
commitment
to
address
the
seriousness
of
the
climate
crisis
and
I
ask
that
we
make
sure
to
allocate
sufficient
investment
in
implementation
of
the
plan
in
the
next
biennium
to
make
truly
effective
progress
on
achieving
our
emissions
reductions
goals.
Thank
you.

good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newinghouse,
council
members
and
city
staff,
I'm
here
tonight
to
comment
on
your
current
budget.
First,
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
hard
work
and
putting
this
budget
together
for
our
city.
It's
not
an
easy
task,
especially
in
these
crazy
and
uncertain
times.
T
Specifically,
I
want
to
reiterate
the
speaker
just
before
me
jan
keller's
point,
where
the
need
for
at
least
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
first
biennium
for
the
implementation
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
T
T
B
U
Thank
you,
hello.
My
name
is
ruth
lipscomb
and
I
live
at
101
cascade
key
in
bellevue.
As
I'm
sure
you
have
all
heard
before.
Budgets
are
moral
documents.
City
budgets,
when
done
well
reflect
the
values
of
our
their
communities.
Budgeting
is
hard
work
because
there's
never
enough
money
to
do
everything
you'd
like
to
do
so.
It
becomes
a
process
of
prioritization,
no
matter
how
great
the
employees
might
be
in
a
department
if
their
value
to
the
community
is
less
than
other
priority
areas.
You,
as
the
budget
writers,
must
move
resources
to
the
higher
priorities.
U
I've
heard
many
times
from
both
members
of
this
council
and
city
staff.
The
bellevue
vision
statement,
which
includes
the
line.
Our
diversity
is
our
strength,
but
with
diversity
comes
friction
between
people
and
between
groups.
It
takes
a
lot
of
work
to
meld
diversity
into
a
truly
inclusive
and
welcoming
whole.
That
work
requires
a
true
commitment
to
racial
equity
and
racial
justice.
U
U
Wouldn't
this
year
be
the
ideal
time
to
really
prioritize
what
matters
and
invest
in
a
racial
equity
task
force
to
bring
our
community
together
around
fulfilling
the
city's
vision.
I'd
like
to
end
by
paraphrasing
a
great
woman,
cheryl
and
ifill.
She
said
I
see
your
stated
intentions,
but
I
don't
see
the
infrastructure
to
accompany
that
in
intention.
U
V
Excellent.
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
members,
chris
randall
speaking,
one
five.
Four
two
one
southeast
fourth
place:

zero
zero.
Seven,
I'm
testifying
tonight
on
behalf
of
a
new
community
organization
in
our
city,
complete
streets,
bellevue,
some
council
members
may
already
know
us
so
the
work
that
we
do,
but
just
as
a
brief
overview.
V
Our
organization
supports
a
rapid,
build
out
of
bellevue's
pedestrian,
bicycle
and
transit
infrastructure
in
ways
to
promote
sustainable,
safe
transportation
for
people
of
all
ages,
abilities
and
walks
of
life.
Over
the
last
few
weeks
we
have
had
community
members
testify
and
give
their
support
for
swift
action
to
address
the
city's
vision,
zero
goals
through
the
budgetary
process,
and
I
wanted
to
cap
off
this
extensive
but
open
and
forward
engagement
cycle
by
expressing
our
organization's
sincerest
thanks.
V
We
also
like
to
thank
transportation
staff
for
the
actions
taken
outside
of
this
budgetary
process
to
improve
our
streets.
Just
speaking
personally
here,
I
just
read
this
month's
edition
of
the
it's
your
city
publication
yesterday
morning
and
I
was
immensely
happy
to
see
the
implementation
of
new
leading
pedestrian
interval
crossings
at
several
intersections
throughout
town.
V
V
V
However,
csb
believes
that,
starting
in
2021,
with
the
implementation
of
tactical
and
data-driven
road
improvements
on
some
of
our
city's
most
dangerous
streets,
as
suggested
by
division,
zero,
cip
project
is
exactly
what
bellevue
needs
to
meet
our
aggressive
2030
target
of
no
fatalities
or
serious
injuries
in
2019
and
2020.
Thus
far,
eight
people
have
lost
their
lives
on
city
streets.
Although
our
organization
is
fearful
of
what
a
two-year
funding
delay
could
mean
for
the
safety
of
people
who
traversed
on
our
higher
injury
corridors,
we
are
optimistic
of
the
city's
future.
V
B
W
W
W
W
In
addition,
the
city
must
collect
and
analyze
data
to
define
areas
that
need
improvement.
Data
enables
people
to
focus
on
facts
rather
than
personal
opinions,
and
you
cannot
improve
what
you
do
not
measure.
I
am
asking
the
council
to
use
the
budget
as
a
vehicle
for
creating
a
just
an
equitable
city
for
all.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
X
X
Thank
you
very
much
mayor,
robinson
and
council
members
for
your
work
on
the
budget
and
maintaining
our
law
enforcement
budget
to
a
degree
that
it
will
be
continue
to
be
helpful
and
safe
and
keeping
our
communities
and
our
neighborhoods
safe.
X
One
of
the
things
that,
as
I'm
getting
older,
I'm
67
years
old
and
I
over
the
last
year,
I've
felt
very
uncomfortable
being
in
out
in
the
streets
at
night,
seeing
with
all
the
things
going
on
in
portland
and
downtown
seattle
and
I've
avoided
downtown
seattle.
So
I'm
just
very
appreciative
of
maintaining
our
law
enforcement
in
the
city
of
bellevue.
I'd
like
to
actually
use
some
of
my
time
to
ask
a
question,
because
I
am
very
curious.
X
If
our
budget
per
capita
for
the
law
enforcement
department
and
and
line
is
the
same,
is
up
or
is
it
down
from
the
past?
Does
anyone
happen
to
know
that
since
we've
been
growing.
A
We
don't
do
a
question
answers
at
the
public
during
this
public
hearing,
but
staff
can
answer
later.

X
The
national
averages
is
around
400
per
capita
and
the
last
the
one
that
I
could
information
I
could
find
our
budget
per
capita
was
around
304
dollars
per
person
per
capita
for
our
police
budget,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
that's
because
our
crime
rate
is
much
lower
or
because
we're
more
efficient
with
our
budgeting,
and
if
it
is,
I'm
very
happy
and
very
thankful,
and
so
yes
thank
you
so
much
for
addressing
the
law
enforcement
budget
and
keeping
it
the
same.
X
I
me
it
makes
my
my
family
and
I'm
sure
the
business
community
feel
much
safer
and
we're
hoping
that
you'll
continue
to
enforce
the
law
in
our
city
and
not
allow
rioting
and
looting,
and
you
know,
keeping
keeping
people
safe
is
what
we're
all
about,
and
we
certainly
appreciate
your
support
of
the
law
enforcement.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
Y
Okay,
yes,
I
can
hear
you
thank
you.
Your
time
begins
now.
Okay,
great!
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight,
so
I
have
been
following
the
budgeting
process
quite
closely
and
when
I
looked
at
the
recent
set
of
minutes
and
the
information
on
the
budget,
I
was
very
happy
to
see
that
public
safety
in
our
bellevue
police
department
was
kept
in
the
budget
per
par
and
not
reduced,
because
you
know
we
get.
Y
We
can
see
the
results
in
cities
that
have
reduced
and
defunded
their
police
departments
such
as
portland
and
chicago
and
minneapolis
and
other
cities
and
seattle,
which
I
pretend
it's
not
even
a
city
more
because
I
won't
go
there.
It's
too
way
too
dangerous
and
my
brother-in-law
actually
drives
a
bus
through
portland,
and
he
says
it
looks
like
a
third
world
war
zone.
Y
It's
that
bad
and
it's
it's
pretty
crazy,
and
I
just
appreciate
the
fact
that
bellevue
is
maintaining
public
safety
and
looking
after
our
citizens
best
interests-
and
you
know,
I've
heard
a
lot
of
people
talk
about
diversity
in
minority
communities.
Well,
I've
noticed
that
in
some
of
these
cities,
where
they
get
rid
of
the
police
or
defund
the
police,
it's
the
minority,
businesses
that
suffer
the
most
and
in
chicago
when
they
destroyed
a
lot
of
the
business
along
miracle
mile.
Y
I
was
watching
the
news
and
it
was
minority
businesses
that
were
taken
down,
and
it
was
really
shocking
to
see
that
these
people
would
destroy
a
minority
owned
business
and
the
same
things
happened
in
new
york,
city
and
others,
and
so
I
really
do
appreciate
the
commitment
to
public
safety
and
the
commitment
to
maintaining
our
bellevue
police
force
in
bellevue,
because
I
think
that
maintains
the
racial
diversity
that
we
want
to
have
in
this
city
of
bellevue
and
to
not
cause
minorities
to
leave
the
city
because
they
don't
feel
safe.
Y
And
so
I
think
the
city
council
has
done
a
good
job
in
maintaining
that
budget.
And
I
appreciate
your
this
opportunity
to
speak
and
thank
you
very
much
for
helping
us
all
stay.
You
know
feel
safe
living
in
bellevue,
because
I
certainly
wouldn't
trade
it
for
seattle
in
a
heartbeat,
and
so
thank
you
very
much
appreciate
your
time.
Z
Thank
you,
mayor,
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house,
members
of
the
council.
My
name
is
jared
axelrod
and
I
lead
local
public
policy
in
washington
state
for
amazon.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
this
evening.
Today,
amazon
has
over
3
000
employees
in
bellevue
and
have
announced
our
intentions
to
create
25
000
jobs
in
bellevue
in
the
next
few
years,
putting
us
on
pace
to
be
bellevue's
largest
employer.
That
designation
comes
with
immense
responsibility,
and
the
challenges
and
opportunities
that
lie
ahead
are
ones
that
the
private
and
public
sectors
must
tackle
together.
Z
This
is
why
we've
been
delivered
about
working
with
bellevue's
leaders
to
best
plan
for
the
growth
that
lies
ahead
from
bellevue
and
why
I've
spoken
with
each
of
you
and
worked
with
city
staff
to
tackle
challenges
head
on
the
2021
budget
is
an
opportunity
to
put
many
of
these
ideas
and
concepts
which
we've
discussed
into
action,
and
I
want
to
share
a
few
priorities
important
to
amazon.
As
you
consider
the
final
budget.
Z
First,
responding
to
copa
19
pandemic
is
rightfully
a
top
priority
in
your
budget.
The
hardships
of
this
pandemic
will
linger
for
years,
which
is
why
investments
in
human
services
are
critically
important.
We'd
like
to
thank
you
for
increasing
funding
for
the
human
services
fund,
which,
along
with
amazon's
grant,
presents
a
total
funding
package
of
5.1
million
dollars
in
2021.
Z
While
we
know
that
the
need
will
continue
to
outpace
available
resources,
the
funding
in
this
budget
will
help
ease
the
economic
and
financial
burdens
this
pandemic
has
created.
Second,
our
shared
opportunities
and
challenges
and
transportation
is
the
issue
I
hear
most
often
when
discussing
amazon's
growth
in
bellevue.
Amazon
puts
a
tremendous
amount
of
thought
and
planning
into
our
transportation
programs
to
ensure
our
employees
can
get
to
and
from
work
quickly,
efficiently
and
without
significant
strain
on
the
transportation
system
or
the
environment.
Z
Their
growing
footprint
here
in
bellevue,
innovative
transportation
solutions
enabled
by
the
city
would
enhance
mobility
options
for
our
employees
as
a
transit.
First
commuter
benefit
organization.
We
hope
you
continue
to
make
investments
in
transit
infrastructure
and
work
with
regional
partners
to
bring
more
transit
service
to
bellevue.
We
also
hope
you
continue
to
prioritize
funding
to
bring
about
a
variety
of
transportation.
Innovations,
including
more
options
for
bikes,
pedestrians,
microtransit
and
autonomous
vehicles.
Z
Third,
affordable
housing
is
an
area
we
know,
needs
significant
attention.
Amazon
believes
that
all
people
should
have
access
to
housing
they
can
afford,
and
your
budget
would
make
strides
toward
this
goal
here
in
bellevue.
In
addition,
we're
happy
to
see
the
council
directing
staff
to
work
in
the
work
on
the
area-wide
rezones
in
wilburton
and
east
maine,
conducting
the
bel-red
look-back
and
making
updates
to
the
mfte
program
to
ensure
that
zoning
and
incentives
are
aligned
with
the
market
to
address
livability
and
affordability
concerns.
Z
Fourth,
in
such
a
tumultuous
time
in
our
country,
it's
important
for
all
organizations,
public
and
private
to
make
racial
equity
inclusion
a
cornerstone
of
their
work.
We
believe
that
the
inequitable
treatment
of
black
people
is
unacceptable
and
stand
in
solidarity
with
our
black
employees,
customers
and
partners,
and
are
committed
to
helping
build
a
country
and
a
world
where
everyone
can
live
with
dignity
and
free
from
fear
urge
the
city
to
equally
prioritize
racial
equity
and
inclusion
throughout
your
budget
and
last
your
budget
process
and
the
public
engagement
around
it
is
highly
commendable.
Z
Your
budget
would
maintain
many
needed
services
all
while
using
thoughtful
budgeting
best
practices
and
without
the
need
for
significant
new
revenue
sources
or
drastic
cuts
to
programs
and
services.
The
thoughtfulness
and
pragmatism
you
put
into
this
budget
process
is
both
recognized
and
much
appreciated.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening.
AA
All
right,
thank
you.
Dear
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
nunes
hoist
and
the
council
members
and
city
manager
priya
miyaki
good
evening.
My
name
is
jdu.
I
live
in
somerset,
I'm
the
president
of
the
seattle
chinese,
cultural
theater.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
hard
work
on
2021
to
2022
budget
proposal.
AA
I'd
like
to
address
two
things
today,
one
is
to
support
cross
culture,
center
design
and,
second,
not
to
defund
a
reduced
budget
for
our
police
department.
The
first
thing
for
cross-cultural
country
across
cultural
center.
I'm
very
excited
to
see
the
degree
report
about
the
course
about
the
center
in
bellevue.
The
feasibility
study
reflected
our
community's
voice
well
and
loud.
AA
AA
I
I
want
to
thank
you
about
the
council
that
to
approve
this
feasibility
study
a
few
years
ago
now
I
would
like
to
ask
you:
please
allocate
a
necessary
budget
for
further
conceptual
design
for
the
cross-cultural
center,
which
will
be
a
great
appreciated
by
our
diverse
community
in
bellevue,
and
this
will
be
an
excellent
reflection
of
the
vision
set
by
bellevue
city
council.
Bellevue
welcomes
the
war.
Our
diversity
is
our
strands
and
a
second
I
would
like
to
say
bellevue
is
a
very
safe
city.
I
live
in
bellevue
for
20
years.
AA
AB
AB
AB
Pw-R-201
in
the
cip,
when
I
arrived
at
bc
in
january
2018,
I
was
approached
by
city
planners
and
king
county
metro
to
gauge
our
interest
in
the
bellevue
college
connection
project,
which
would
run
through
the
campus.
I've
been
personally
involved
in
the
project
since
then,
and
am
impressed
by
the
progress
we've
made.
AB
The
current
routes
through
campus
are
tricky
at
best,
and
metro
recognizes
the
immense
benefits
of
this
project
to
include
significant
travel
time
savings
to
existing
bus
service,
along
with
improving
the
safety
of
our
thousands
of
students
and
employees
who
are
on
campus
every
day
when
things
get
back
to
normal.
Of
course,
there
are
four
major
bus
routes
serving
the
college
in
this
area
of
bellevue,
with
an
anticipated
four
minutes
of
operational
travel
time.
Savings,
the
benefits
to
riders
traffic
patterns
and
the
environment
over
time
will
be
immense.

Dear
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house
and
council
members,
I
hope
everyone
is
healthy
and
is
feeling
good
being
a
resident
of
value.
I
am
delighted
to
see
how
this
city
becomes
a
home
for
people
of
different
cultures
and
walks
of
life
and
congratulate
city
leadership
on
the
achievement.
My
name
is
valerie
gulbrotko
and
I
am
an
immigrant
from
ukraine
as
an
immigrant.
I
had
a
hard
time,
morally,
first
few
years
of
my
life
in
the
usa,
where
everything
was
so
different
from
what
I
was
used
to.
AC
It
was
the
first
and
natural
decision
to
find
and
become
a
part
of
ukrainian
community,
while
community
is
a
vital
element
on
the
path
of
persons.
Assimilation
mainly
remain
closed
off
in
community
bubble
and
need
help
to
fully
integrate
into
community.
In
large
state
of
washington
became
home
to
the
fifth
largest
ukrainian
diaspora
in
usa,
with
tens
of
thousands
residing
in
king
county
and
thousands
who
picked
bellevue
to
be
their
home
city.
AC
I'm
honored
to
serve
as
the
honorary
council
of
ukraine
in
seattle
and
be
a
co-founder
of
pacific
ukrainian
society
to
help
people
to
get
out
of
their
own
bubble
and
enjoy
the
life-form
and
friendships
and
servant
with
people
of
other
communities.
Pacific
ukrainian
society
started
annual
northwest
ukrainian
international
festival
until
this
year
it
took
place
in
crossroads.
Park
of
bellevue
festival
became
the
largest
ukrainian
cultural
event
of
the
west
coast.
AC
This
is
what
we
can
do
on
non-profit
organization
level
to
promote
partnership,
friendship
and
respect
between
people
that
may
have
been
from
different
ends
of
the
world.
We
hope
to
continue
partnering
with
studio
value
and
keep
serving
bellevue
residents
through
the
festival
and
other
means
for
immigrant
communities
like
ukrainian
and
a
handful
of
other
immigrant
communities,
leaders
of
which
I
spoke
to.
It
is
a
dream
to
have
a
cross-cultural
center.
AC
I
encourage
bellevue
council
to
provide
means
for
representatives
of
diverse
community
groups
to
offer
their
input
themselves
on
behalf
of
ukrainian
communities,
though
we
want
to
see
a
cross-cultural
center,
where
not
merely
performances
and
exhibitions
will
take
place,
which
is
important
as
well,
but
where
diverse
cultural
organizations
can
base
their
offices
where
organizations
can
be
connected
and
partner
with
each
other
doing,
programs
and
events
together,
resources
and
most
important
values
will
be
shared.
In
my
experience,
nothing
brings
people
together
more
effectively
than
working
on
a
common
projects
which
cross-cultural
center
will
be
a
platform
form.
AC
I
encourage
that.
I
congratulate
the
progress
already
made
by
completing
feasibility
study
and
would
like
to
encourage
bellevue
council
to
take
the
next
step
for
the
proposed
value
cross
cultural
center
and
to
fund
conceptual
design
with
operational
model
plan.
Value
is
original
leader
in
many
ways
and
to
take
a
lead
in
creating
a
unique
opportunity
for
cross-cultural
cooperation
is
something
that
will
be
natural
for
such
a
diverse
city
and
its
leadership.

AD
Hello,
council,
my
name
is
guys
why
and
I'm
a
college
student
currently
taking
all
my
classes,
who
has
lived
in
the
entire
area
for
the
last
nine
years,
I'm
here
to
advocate
for
the
creation
of
a
community
corps
here
in
bellevue.
So
a
community
court
is
an
alternative,
problem-solving
system
looking
to
identify
and
address
underlying
issues
causing
for
criminal
activity,
with
the
goal
to
reduce
the
tendency
of
a
convicted
criminal
to
reoffend
or,
as
it's
called
recidivism,
this
community
court
would
occur
somewhere.
That
is
not
a
criminal
court.
AD
Instead,
a
neutral
area
such
as
a
library
to
reduce
the
stigma
and
fear
associated
with.
What's
attending
this
court,
the
community
court
will
seek
to
address
the
individuals
brought
forth
to
determine
what
processes
might
help
them
from
recommending
their
crimes.
This
would
often
include
top
community
service.
AD
This
would
actually
lower
costs
and
have
jails
be
much
more
efficient
efficient,
as
there
would
be
less
need
for
those
as
it
stands,
the
only
community
courts
in
the
county
are
in
buren,
shoreline
and
redmond
and,
I
believe,
will
truly
benefit
the
bellevue
community
and
make
it
safer
if
you
find
a
program
such
as
this,
that
directly
address
the
causes
for
crime
and
invest
in
initiatives
to
prevent
them
from
having
from
happening
again.
AD
I
encourage
the
council
to
understand
that
the
vast
majority
of
crimes
are
committed
out
of
survival.
Crimes
are
committed
because
someone
does
not
have
food
or
a
roof
over
their
head,
and
instead
they
criminalize
these
people
above
you
should
help
their
community
members
from
entering
the
present
pipeline.
I
believe
that
a
community
court
is
one
step
on
a
long
road
to
making
bellevue
a
safer
and
equitable
place.
Thank
you.

One
source
of
money
for
this
task
force
could
be
the
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
the
city
currently
contributes
to
funding
school
resources.
Officers
in
bellevue
high
schools,
a
practice
that
is
deeply
problematic.
Is
there
any
information
by
which
I
mean
measurable
data
that
sro
presence
benefits
the
schools
or
the
students?
I
don't
know
of
any,
but
it's
very
easy
to
find
information.
The
sro
presence
in
general
is
unfavorable
to
students
of

probably
very
detrimental
and
a
key
part
in

some

needed
information
to

neighborhood
in
bellevue,
I'm
here
to
ask
you
to
increase
funding
for
safe
bike
and
pedestrian
infrastructure,
and
to
do
it
now
more
broadly,
I'm
here
to
ask
you
to
invest
in
helping
to
prevent
carmageddon
in
bellevue.
AF
So
my
day,
job
is
with
a
company
called
bikes,
make
life
better.
We
work
with
large
companies
and
universities
on
their
bike,
commute
programs.
In
fact,
earlier
today
I
was
on
the
phone
with
the
transportation
manager
at
t-mobile,
and
we
were
talking
about
how
to
leverage
the
opportunities
presented
by
the
new
bike
infrastructure.
That's
going
in
right
next
to
their
headquarters
in
factoria,
and
of
course,
you
already
heard
from
jared
axelrod
that
bikes
are
an
important
component
to
amazon's
transportation
plan.
AF
AF
The
allen
foundation
over
in
seattle
is
up
to
twenty
percent
by
the
way,
considering
that
just
the
new
amazon
and
facebook
employees,
that
would
give
you
three
to
one
three
hundred
to
one
thousand
new
bike
commuters
with
your
existing
roads.
But
if
you
invest
in
bike
infrastructure,
you
can
get
it
up
to
three
thousand
or
more
commuters
per
day
by
bike,
and
that
would
be
a
significant
dent
in
the
auto
traffic.
AF
AF
AG
AG
Great
thank
you
good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council.
My
name
is
mark
bereka.
I
direct
government
and
community
affairs
for
rei
co-op
and
I've
spoken
to
you.
Previously.
AG
We
have
a
store
at
4th
street
and
116th
ave
northeast.
Today.
I
want
to
echo
some
comments
about
the
value
of
accommodating
more
safe
bike
lanes
for
people
as
they
work
their
way
through
bellevue.
AG
AG
We
support
the
growth
corridor,
high
comfort,
bicycle
network
again.
This
is
a
planning
effort
that
would
help
establish
non-motorized
routes,
east
and
west
and
north
and
south,
and
on
both
sides
of
405
for
protected
cycling
throughout
bellevue,
and
then,
specifically,
we
support
one
two,
three,
four:
five:
six
different
capital
investments,
one
on
128,
20th,
ave,
spring
boulevard
zones,
three
and
four
116th
ave
up
to
norfolk
way
along
main
street
on
116th
ave
from
main
street
to
northeast.
Fourth
and
then
connecting
east
trail
to
spring
boulevard.
AG
Again,
I'd
refer
you
to
the
letter
itself
for
the
specifics,
but
I
do
want
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
the
speaker
who
came
just
before
me
commending
the
city
for
all.
It
has
been
doing
of
late
to
make
cycling
safer
throughout
bellevue
and
encourage
you
to
keep
up
the
good
work.
Thank
you.
B
AH
I
support
the
proposed
bellevue
city
budget,
as
is
do
not
cut
the
budget
for
the
police
in
any
way.
The
bellevue
police
department
is
excellent.
No
changes
to
bellevue
police
department
are
needed,
except
tell
the
police
chief
not
to
kneel
to
anyone,
especially
when
the
bellevue
police
department
has
done
nothing
wrong.
AH
If
you
need
to
cut
the
budget
cut
from
from
funds
spent
on
carbon
emissions
reduction
or
the
homeless
that
do
not
originate
in
bellevue.
If
you
provide
more
housing
and
services
for
the
homeless,
you
will
attract
more
homeless.
Have
you
ever
driven
on
the
bellevue
highway
ramps
and
seen
the
beggars?
AH
AH
We
often
hear
from
people
who
have
no
understanding
demanding
that
the
city
reduce
carbon
emissions
from
1940
to
1977.
We
had
global
cooling
in
the
1970s.
There
were
scientists
that
were
predicting
the
start
of
an
ice
age
in
that
post-world
war.
Two
time
period,
man-made
carbon
emissions
greatly
increased.
Yet
we
had
global
cooling.
Why
people
that
have
no
understanding
will
claim
that,
due
to
global
warming,
we
will
have
an
increase
in
the
area
of
deserts
which
completely
contradicts
physics,
warm
water
evaporates
faster
than
cold
water.
Warm
air
holds
more
moisture
than
cold
air.
AH
AH
Also,
how
would
you
explain
how
much
of
our
warming
right
now
is
due
to
man-made
carbon
versus
the
warming
that
we
are
seeing
the
last
150
years
after
we
came
out
of
the
little
ice
age?
Can
anybody
break
that
up?
How
much
of
it
has
just
continued
warming
from
the
little
ice
age
that
the
end
of
had
very
little
to
do
with
anything
produced
by
humans?
AH
Basically
be
careful
before
you
waste
your
money
on
spending
money
on
something
that
really
isn't
a
threat
to
the
human
race?
Thank
you.
AI
Good
evening,
everyone,
a
few
years
ago,
the
redmond
police
department
has
hired
a
mental
health
correspondent,
susie
crowe,
to
assist
officers
in
their
field,
because
this
program
has
been
so
successful
within
a
few
years.
Cities
across
washington
has
established
similar
programs
with
trained
professionals.
AI
AI
AI
Mental
health
correspondents
can
also
provide
training
to
police
officers,
helping
them
more
effectively
do
their
job
from
my
research.
The
city
of
bellevue
currently
does
not
have
a
similar
program
in
place,
and
I
urge
the
hiring
of
a
correspondent
to
be
included
in
this
coming
year's
budget
plans
and
for
the
city
of
bellevue
to
consider
establishing
a
full-time
program
within
the
next
five
years
to
respond
to
every
9-1-1
call
from
individuals
in
the
mental
health
crisis.
B
Thank
you
miss
lee.
That
is
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
speaker
list.
At
this
point,
I
would
ask
if
there
was
anyone
connected
to
this
meeting
that
would
like
to
continue
making
public
comment
to
the
council
in
the
public
hearing.
Please
use
the
raised
hand
function
if
you're
connected
with
the
phones.
It
is.
B
A
Okay,
so
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
budget
discussion,
we've
had
a
chance
to
hear
from
staff
and
I'd
like
to
go
around
and
give
everybody
a
chance
to
ask
questions
or
make
comments,
and
I'm
going
to
give
everybody
three
minutes.
Each
we'll
go
around
as
many
times
as
we
need
to,
and
then
I'm
gonna
open
it
up
to
six
minutes
each
to
make
your
recommendations,
and
we
can
discuss
that
after
that.
But
let's
start
with
just
questions
and
comments
to
staff
and
I'm
going
to
ask
in
this
order
and
I've.
N
A
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
call
in
this
order:
councilmember
barksdale,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house,
council,
members
on
council
member
robertson,
council,
member
stokes
and
council
member
lee
and
then
myself
so
starting
with
council
member
barksdale.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah,
so,
first
of
all,
I'd
just
like
to
thank
so
many
people
for
participating
tonight.
A
lot
of
great
comments,
a
lot
of
passion
for
that
for
the
city
and
certainly,
I
think,
we're
all
taking
taking
notes
about
what
we
heard
but
really
appreciated
the
public,
and
so
many
residents
providing
their.
B
E
Our
ongoing
battle
against
covet
19,
affordable
housing
and
really
keeping
bellevue
strong,
which
I
you
know
pulled
from
the
the
bellevue
chamber
letter
that
was
submitted
to
us
in
terms
of
the
financially
remaining
stable,
maintaining
service
levels
and
continuing
with
the
capital
investments
which,
to
a
large
part,
I
think
our
our
budget
as
it
stands
right
now
maintain
so
two
quick
questions.
E
First,
one
for
a
chief
mileage.
If
he
is
on
the
call
which
I
think
he
is
chief
milette,
are
you
still
with
us?
I
am
oh
good
evening.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
for
you
if
you
could
provide
us
with
a
status
update
on
the
on
the
body,
cam
cameras.
E
I
just
thought
of
that.
As
we
heard
some
comments
about,
you
know
public
safety
and
the
police
department-
and
I
don't
know.
AK
X
E
AL
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor
for
the
question
good
evening,
mayor
and
council.
I
can
actually
but
I'd
like
to
just
give
you
just
a
little
bit
of
history.
Shortly
after
I
got
here,
we
started
looking
at
a
camera
program
and
exploring
the
idea
of
implementing
camera
program
in
city
bellevue.
AL
One
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
several
of
the
agencies
that
implemented
the
camera
programs
was
number
one
slow
down
and
don't
rush
it
and
what
I
heard
from
other
other
large
departments.
I
think
san
diego
is
one
of
them
is
they
went
really
quick
and
the
community
rejected
it,
and
so
they
spent
a
lot
of
money
only
to
go
back
to
the
dry
erase
board
and
come
back
with
a
a
approach
that
included
all
stakeholder
groups
and
they
went
and
they
hired
a
consultant
that
was
number
two
that
came
out
of
it.
AL
They
said,
invest
some
money
up
front
and
hire
a
consultant
that
can
look
at
it
from
an
independent
objective
view,
and
so
we
did
that
and
then
lastly,
they
said,
engage
your
community
get
them
to
have
voice
in
the
development
of
the
program.
So
what
we've
done
since
then?
We
followed
that
I
followed
that
advice
and
and
working
with
other
city
department
heads
to
include
kyle,
stanner
and
and
tony
call
kathy,
gurla
and
sabre
schneider,
and
I
know
I'm
probably
losing
somebody
else.
So
I
apologize
under
the
leadership
of
the
city
manager.
AL
One
was
a
complete
package
which
was
in-car
cameras
and
body
cameras,
they're
two
really
separate
tools
and
they
provide
two
different
levels
of
service
for
us
and
then
so
one
combined
and
then
one
individually,
if
you
were
going
to
go
with
the
camera
in
car
camera
program
alone
or
body
camera
program
alone,
and
so
we're
examining,
which
is
the
most
cost
effective
way
to
get
this
done.
AL
In
conversations
with
the
city
manager,
we
actually
extended
an
invitation
to
the
bellevue
police
foundation
to
see
if
they
would
be
interested
in
partnering
with
us
to
fund
this
program,
and
they
said
yes,
I
received
a
letter
today
from
the
foundation
and
they
committed
to
a
grant
to
the
city
for
twenty
thousand
dollars
so
short
term.
They
are
helping
us
with
the
capital
costs
for
the
for
the
cameras
and
then
in
the
long
term.
AL
They
also
said
look
we're
interested
in
continuing
this
partnership
and
let's
look
at
what's
coming
in
the
future
and
maybe
there's
opportunities
for
us
to
continue
to
help
you
fund
this
anyways
right
now.
I
think
we
have
about
1.5
million
dollars,
budgeted
for
the
program,
and
you
know
we're
looking
at
the
you
know
the
monies
that
the
foundation
have
granted
us
and
we're
making
a
determination
right
now.
What's
the
best
way
to
spend
our
money
for
the
community
and
all
stakeholders.
AL
AJ
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor.
Sorry,
I
forgot.
I
was
going
to
mention
a
question
here.
So
one
of
the
things
I
was
interested
in
that
was
similar
to
what
one
of
our
speakers
mentioned
margaret
lee
around
the
corresponding
program.
I
was
interested
in
funding
a
program
that
would
help
make
it
possible
for
mental
health
professionals
to
be
to
go
out
into
the
field
to
help
respond
to
calls
with
non-violent
calls.
AJ
AL
AL
Those
in
crisis
homelessness
we're
looking
at
standing
up
a
program
called
the
community
assistance
response
team,
we're
working
with
the
king
county,
mobile
crisis
team
and
also
bellevue
fire
department's
outstanding,
cares
program
and
we're
looking
at
enhancing
the
services
that
we've
been
able
to
provide
to
this
very
vulnerable
community
in.
In
a
nutshell,
what
this
is
is
we're
going
to
be
looking
for
officers
in
the
police
department
up
to
eight
we're
looking
at
repurposing
some
of
our
positions,
a
our
position
to
hire
mental
health
professionals
to
create
a
co-responder
team.
AL
We
have
found
and
really
the
the
idea
for
this.
The
ccat
program
came
from
several
of
our
line
offices,
including
carpal
mala
and
corporal
lee
coordination
with
captain
mckinney
and
major
papa
chalk.
We
went
around
and
looking
at
best
practices
across
the
country
we
landed
on
the
sandy
san
antonio
model
and,
basically,
what
they
did
is
they.
They
have
created
this
unit
where
we
provide
additional
training
for
the
officers.
AL
Then
we
also
have
additional
training
every
year
annual
training
that
we
have
to
go
through,
but
we're
not
subject
matter
experts
when
it
comes
to
this
this
area
of
expertise.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
investing
in
about
eight
officers
and
and
partnering
them
up
with
mental
health
professionals,
giving
them
enhanced
training.
They
would
be
in
plain
clothes.
AL
Unmarked
units
responding
to
calls-
and
the
whole
goal
here
is
to
make
every
scene
safe,
provide
a
diversion
from
going
to
jail
and
helping
people
in
crisis
get
the
need
to
get
the
help
that
they
need,
because
a
lot
of
people
they
don't
belong
in
jail.
They
need
medical
attention,
they
need
mental
health
attention
and
that's
what
we're
looking
to
do.
Partnering
with
the
private
sector,
and
also
with
the
programs
that
we
already
have
in
place
to
fire,
cares.
AJ
Thank
you
chief.
It's
good
to
hear
that
the
city
is
is
already
thinking
about
this
work,
just
a
couple
things
that
we
want
to
note
really
quickly.
One
I'd
be
interested
in
in
understanding
how
this
might
look
as
a
like
an
independent
service
that
has
its
own
sort
of
goals
and
and
outcomes
sort
of
like
if
you
think
about
the
digital
service
at
the
federal
level,
it
brings
in
an
array
of
people
from
different
agencies
into
a
very
focused
service.
AJ
A
Okay,
thank
you,
council
members
on.
AM
Yes,
thank
you.
You
know.
I
also
echo
some
comments
about
just
appreciation
for
the
staff
in
answering
our
questions.
I
know
that
I
didn't
completely
understand
the
the
process,
and
so
thank
you,
tony
for
documenting
all
of
the
questions
that
I
had
in
the
in
the
call
and
it's
in
the
memory
book.
AM
I
appreciate
that
and
also
the
community
that's
come
out
to
provide
information,
so
I
had
a
a
couple
of
of
questions
based
on
the
comments
that
were
heard
and
we
might
have
to
go
around
because
I
do
have
a
few
more
questions
on
the
the
comments
about
the
diversion
program
from
one
of
the
comments
on
the
community
court.
AM
I
know
that
this
had
been
discussed
for
the
last
couple
of
years
in
terms
of
finding
a
location
trying
to
see
if
we
could
partner
with
the
county
for
some
dollars,
because
there's
one
in
redmond,
I
believe
one
opened
in
tucuela
des
moines
somewhere
in
south
king
county.
AM
So
I'd
like
to
understand
the
status
of
that
and
if
we're
not
able
to
do
our
own
community
court
yet
is
it
possible
to
do
an
ila
with
with
redmond
so
that
we
can
send
our
folks
up
there
for
community
court,
because
I
think
the
more
that
we
really
look
at
diversion
programs?
It's
a
win-win-win
for
everyone.
So
can
someone
on
the
comment
or
is
it
an
iou.
C
I
think
that's
an
iou
council
members
on
that.
We
could
provide
back
to
you
in
your
connect
council,
be.
AM
Okay
and
then
the
questions
from
rei
and
wright
runstead
about
the
spring
district-
and
you
know
those
comments
came
in
really
late.
So
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
the
budget
book
to
see
the
projects
that
they
had
identified
as
being
important
to
get
funded
in
alignment
with
more
businesses
and
workers
coming
into
the
city.
What's
the
status
of
those
projects
and
are
the
is
there,
do
you
need
to
also
get
back
to
me
to
understand
what
level
of
funding
we
actually
have
versus?
What's
being
requested?.
C
I'm
going
to
go
to
transportation
director
andrew
singalokis
to
see
if
he
could
take
a
crack
at
that.
AN
I'm
going
to
have
to
take,
I
looked.
I
saw
the
letter
that
came
in
they're,
not
in
the
cip,
and
you
know
simply
because
there's
not
a
lot
of
funding
for
it,
but
they
would
make
really
good
candidates
for
multimodal
impact
fees
at
some
point
in
the
future.
In
my
opinion,.
A
Let
me
introduce
a
sec
so
andrew,
when,
when
staff
comes
back
at
our
next
meeting,
maybe
you
can
detail
what
that
would
look
like
for
council
members
on
yep.
AM
Oh,
thank
you
and
then
on
on
question
number.
I
believe
it
was
54.
It
was
about
the
welcoming
cities
collaborative
and
it
says
that
you
guys
were
going
to
do
some
research.
So
did
you
look
into
that
and
was
there
funds
in
the
budget
to
potentially
support
bellevue,
redmond
and
kirkland?
Collaborating
on
this
welcoming
cities
collaborative
yes,.
C
There
is
there's
actual
funding
available
to
fund
that
collaborative.
AM
Okay,
great
and
then
goes
back
there.
D
Thank
you
what
a
great
experience
this
budget
has
been
in
difficult
times.
I
really
appreciate
the
public
who's
written
in
who
have
reached
out
to
us
and
who
spoke
tonight,
and
I
want
to
also
thank
staff.
The
memory
bank
responses
have
been
really
excellent,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
really
good
things
that
we
heard
tonight.
D
I
will
I
am
going
to
have
something
to
advocate
for
next,
but
first
with
regard
to
the
multimodal
impact
fees,
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
this
transportation
commission
is
doing
the
mobility
implementation
plan
next
year,
as
well
as
the
concurrency
update.
Any
thought
of
doing
multimodal
impact
fees
will
follow
that
work.
So
it's
not
really
something
that
we're
doing
in
the
budget.
D
Now
the
mobility
implementation
plan
and
the
concurrency
work
is
funded,
and
that
is
something
that
I'd
love
to
have
council,
get
an
update
on
first
quarter
of
next
year
as
far
as
scope,
but
that's
not
a
budget
issue.
So
with
regard
to
the
comments
that
we
heard
on
a
potential
task
force
for
racial
equity,
my
question
is
with
regard
to
the
diversity
advantage
plan.
C
Councilmember
robertson,
actually
I'm
gonna
need
to
get
back
to
you
on
the
question
on
the
funding
of
the
advantage
plan.
I
just
stopped
the
top
of
my
head.
I
can't
remember
so
I
will
get
back
to
you
on
that.
D
Yeah
I
thought
it
was
scheduled
for
next
year.
I
assume
the
funding.
Is
there
but
and
then
really
appreciate
bellevue
police
foundation,
helping
with
the
police
body
cam
car
cams,
that's
something
that
I've
been
advocating
for
for
a
couple
of
years.
So
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
moving
forward
as
well
as
the
cart
program,
I
think
we
have
a
really
good
model
in
the
fire
cares
program
where
we're
sending
social
workers
to
help
people
who
have
been
using
those
services.
D
I
would
imagine
we
can,
you
know,
have
a
similar
type
of
approach
in
with
police.
I
know
we
already
do
send
police
with
our
homeless
outreach
group,
so
we
have
that
model
already,
and
I
think
that
that's
one
of
the
future
you
know
outlines
for
policing.
So
I'm
really
happy
to
hear
that,
and
I
also
I
hadn't
realized
how
much
we
were
sending
towards
human
services
until
jared
axelrod
testified.
D
So
I
really
wow,
you
know
good
job
city
of
bellevue
for
being
so
caring
to
the
people
who
are
suffering
so
much
under
under
the
covet
emergency
and
otherwise,
and
then.
Finally,
I
want
to
just
stop
you
there,
council,
member.
AO
Yeah
a
lot
of
great
questions
and
comments.
So
far
I
thought
I
was
struck
by
the
fact
that
in
in
all
these
commentary
has
six
main
topics
and
and
they're
very
exciting,
and
we
need.
I
think
we
having
more
conversations
about
this.
We
can
look
into
how
it
fits
in
the
budget,
but
the
conversations
on
racial
equity
and
the
comments
and
coming
both
from
individuals
and
from
representing
amazon,
I
think,
is
very
powerful.
AO
I'd
like
to
see
us
look
at
some
additional
funding,
perhaps
looking
at
the
muslim
community
resource
center
and
sophia
wayne
a
couple
of
others
that
would
help
increase
the
our
resources
in
the
human
services
area,
vision,
zero,
that's
something
very
important:
viking
bike
infrastructure,
the
esp
plan
and
in
moving
that
forward
and
moving
quicker
and
really
talking
about
the
police
department
and
how
how
you
know
how
what
an
amazing
job
it
does
and
how
we
can
improve
and
how
we
can
go
forward
and
make
it
even
better.
AO
So
I
think
those
are
great,
and
the
last
piece
is,
you
know
the
cultural
cross-cultural
piece
and
that's
something
that
I'm
very
excited
about.
AO
I'd
like
I
know,
we
have
talked
about
putting
some
additional
funding
and
getting
the
resources
going
to
look
at
that
greater,
and
I
would
support
you
know
directly
doing
that
something
at
the
hundred
thousand
dollar
level,
but
I
also
hope
that
we
have
a
broaden
and
would
like
to
suggest
that
we
we
have
some
really
good
conversations
with
people
about
what
that
means,
what
the
cost
is
and
I'm
anxious
to
get
to
a
point
where
we
can
figure
out
that
this
is
how
we
can
make
this
work
for
the
whole
city
and
and
accomplish
these
these
goals,
and
I'm
just
very
excited
about
that
and
I
think
we're
going
in
a
good
direction,
but
I
think
there's
some
other
even
more
powerful
directions.
AO
We
can
look
at
kind
of
like
what
we're
doing
in
arts
and
culture
as
well,
and
this
is
a
cultural
piece,
so
it
fits
into
that.
So
I'm
excited
about
us
continuing
to
look
at
that,
putting
some
funding
in
it
now
and
moving
forward.
Overall,
I
think
the
input
from
the
public
was
really
amazing.
I
was
very
pleased
it's
hard
to
tell
what
people
are
going
to
do.
AO
Is
very
positive
and
very
little
even
hint
of
the
negativity
on
it,
so
you
know
commendations
to
the
public
for
coming
forward
and
talking
to
us
about
these
very
important
issues
and
kind
of
zeroing
in
on
things
that
are
very,
very
important
that
actually
enhance
all
the
other
infrastructure
work,
we're
doing
so
good
so
far.
Thank
you.
AP
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
wow,
what
a
great
experience
this
has
been.
This
is
indeed
what
the
budget
process
should
be.
Like
you
know,
I've
been
on
the
council
for
so
long.
I've
been
through
a
lot
of
budgets.
This
is
indeed
amazing
because
of
the
cover
19.
I
think
it's
brought
a
lot
of
things
on
the
surface
and
give
us
real
deep
soul
searching.
So
I
want
to
it's.
AP
Like
you
know,
jared
axelrod
from
amazon
said
you
know
it's
a
thoughtful
process
and
because
it's
so
well
done,
I
have
the
compliment
the
city
staff.
You
know
we've
done
well
to
address
the
covert
19
we
have
made.
As
mentioned
you
put
in
a
million
a
half
to
address
the
people
who
are
impacted
directly
by
the
economic
downturn
and
and
also
I've
heard
consistently.
AP
You
know
throughout
the
the
message,
the
testimony
from
the
public.
You
know.
Basically,
we've
done
a
great
job.
Second,
you
know
we
financially
very
stable
and
people.
AP
You
know
the
speakers
you
know
uniformly
has
been
happy
and,
finally,
I
think
I
heard
the
underlying
message
we
hear
which
is
so
so
exciting
and
so
uplifting
it's
for
the
future.
For
the
future,
what
are
we
looking
forward
to?
What's
the
current
the
future
and
all
the
things
we're
asking?
The
point
is
made
it's
about
people,
the
multicultural
folks,
the
people
from
all
over
the
place,
it's
americans,
it's
us
we're
all
in
this
together
we're
a
multicultural
city.
AP
AP
It's:
how
do
we
build
up
the
infrastructure?
How
do
we
build
that
infrastructure
to
to
to
to
reflect
reality?
You
know
it's
the
budget.
I
heard
one
thing:
that's
impressed
me,
you
know
we
look
number
one
to
the
future
number
two.
The
budget
has
to
reflect
reality.
AP
We
have
to
build
infrastructure
to
realize
our
intentions
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
good
intentions.
The
city
has
a
lot
of
models.
We
have
a
lot
of.
You
know
things
that
we
say
we
stand
for,
and
it's
just
amazing,
and
so
this
budget
is
the
one.
The
process
is
the
mechanism
that
really
puts
our
intention
into
reality.
So
this
is
the
right
place.
I
really
appreciate
all
the
people
who
come
and
talk
about
this,
and
you
know
I
hear
that
we
we
need
to
have
people
to
get
off
our
own
bubbles.
AP
We
need
to
be
connected
to
work
together
to
share
values
and
work
together
to
achieve
our
common
goals
and
common
projects.
This
is
what
we
need
to
do
to
realize
the
future.
The
future
sounds
wonderful.
You
know
we
all
want
to
support
it,
but
the
budget
budget
budget
is
the
same.
That
gave
us
the
resources,
the
mechanism,
the
real
tool,
to
make
sure
it
happens.
AP
A
So
I
there
was
a
question
from
the
public:
what
is
the
police
budget
per
capita
and
I'd
like
to
get
an
answer
from
that
publicly
when
you
answered
my
other
question,
but
I
did
want
to
ask
about
our
council
contingency
how
much
we
have
to
work
with
how
often
it's
replenished,
what
would
be
the
effects
if
we
were
to
choose
to
use
half
of
it
or
all
of
it,
and
I'm
especially
interested
in
seeing
if
we
can
possibly
do
some
emergency
funding
using
that
money
for
our
small
businesses
to
help
them
kind
of
get
over
this
crisis
that
we
have
right
now
with
the
new
restrictions
from
the
government
until
we
get
some
funding
from
the
state
or
from
the
federal
government
to
replenish
that
fund
and
hope
that
we
could
repl
replenish
a
council
contingency
if
we
chose
to
use
that
money
to
get
it
out
sooner
than
later.
A
So
those
are
my
questions
and
again
this,
like
everybody,
has
said
this
is
an
amazing
public
process.
We
feel
like
we've
received
so
much
input
from
so
many
different
people,
and
so
many
good
ideas.
A
It's
everybody
has
a
different
idea
and
yet
they
gel
together
and
it's
very
exciting
to
hear
so
I
thank
everybody
for
their
input.
So
if
you
could
answer
my
questions,
I'd
appreciate
it.
C
Can
I
ask
our
tony
call
to
answer
the
question
with
regard
to
the
you
know
with
regard
to
the
contingency
and
mayor,
we'll
get
back
to
you
and
the
rest
of
the
accounts
on
the
police
per
capita
numbers.
A
AK
Thank
you
so
mayor.
This
is
tony
call.
The
council
contingency
is
two
million
dollars
over
seven
years
in
the
cip,
as
the
timing
is
whether
you
wanted
to
use
it
all
now
or
all
in
year.
Seven.
I
leave
that
up
to
the
council
from
an
accounting
standpoint.
We
just
dump
it
equally
in
each
year,
but
it
is
certainly
movable
as
you
make
your
decisions
through
this
budget
process.
A
AK
If
we
improve
in
the
economy,
there's
always
the
choice,
there's
always
the
option.
Historically,
the
council
has
had
something
closer
to
a
7
million
contingency
in
this
budget.
We
needed
to
bring
it
down
to
2
million
to
deal
with
the
covet
issues
that
are
facing
us,
so
always
options
for
changing
it
in
the
future.
AK
So,
yes,
that
exists
and
because
you're
also
already
doing
a
sales
tax
swap
between
the
cip
and
the
general
fund.
If
you
wanted
to
use
some
of
that
council
contingency
this
year
in
the
general
fund
versus
the
cip,
I
can
find
a
path
forward
to
make
that
happen.
For
you
as
well
all
right,
okay,
okay,
the
limit
is
still
2
million.
So,
however,
you
choose
to
spend.
It
is
still
a
two
million
dollar
limit
all
right.
Thank
you
very.
A
AJ
All
right,
thank
you.
So
one
question
follow
a
question
on
the
community
court
idea
and
I
I
know
you
probably
won't
have
the
information
now,
but
I'd
be
interested
in
knowing
how
that
might
fit
along
with
the
probation
work.
It
just
seems
to
fit
closely
with
that.
So,
if
you
do
have
any
remarks,
that'd
be
helpful,
if
not
all
good,
we'll.
E
Thank
you
mayor
two
follow-up
questions
that
I
had
first
tony
well.
Thank
you
again
for
all
the
great
work
that
you've
done
on
this
budget.
Amazing.
There
were
a
couple
of
questions
regarding
the
funds
available
for
our
environmental
stewardship
initiative.
Like
the
timing
and
the
amount,
can
you
speak
to
that
a
little
bit.
AK
Certainly,
deputy
mayor
currently
in
the
cip
there's
about
thousand
dollars,
sometimes
a
hundred
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
a
year
from
21
all
the
way
up
to
2027
for
a
total
of,
I
believe,
925
thousand
dollars.
Let
me
look.
That
is
a
true
statement,
a
total
of
925
thousand
dollars
over
the
seven
years.
AK
In
addition,
in
our
operating
funds,
we
do
have
a
series
of
things
that
occur
within
our
operating
budget,
so,
for
instance,
screening
of
the
fleet
we
do
are
looking
at
light
duty
vehicles
and
as
they
come
due
and
as
it's
appropriate,
we're
converting
those
to
electric
vehicles
as
we
can.
So
there
are
some
additional
funds
in
our
operating
budget,
both
on
the
facility
side
and
on
the
fleet
side.
In
addition
to
the
dollars
you
see
in
the
cip.
E
Okay,
okay,
terrific
thank
you
and
then
I
had
a
question
for
andrew
specifically
around
transportation
and
it's
almost
a
follow-up
question
to
what
the
mayor
was
speaking
about
and
potential
federal
dollars
or
federal
stimulus
programs
in
the
future.
E
Are
we
ready
in
terms
of
shovel-ready
projects,
to
take
advantage
of
any
federal
stimulus
money
that
we
may
get
specifically
that
could
address
anything
from
bike
infrastructure
which
you
heard
tonight
is
pretty
important
to
some
some
folks,
as
well
as
companies
in
our
city,
but
as
well
as
just
basic
congestion
issues,
or
you
know
the
projects
that
we
know
that
are
on
the
road
map
at
some
point,
but
the
northeast
sixth
street,
for
example,
that
project
120th,
I
think
405
southbound
lane-
would
be
another
one.
AN
Well,
the
only
thing
that
would
really
be
shovel
ready
is
our
cip,
as
we
get
ready
to.
You
know,
bid
projects
out,
and
we
do
have
a
document
that
showed
what
those
shovel
ready
projects
are
and
it's
been
pretty
widely
distributed,
and
I
think
I
sent
it
off
to
the
council
as
well
and
I'm
sorry.
What
was
the
other
part
of
the
question?
AN
AN
I
can
send
that
out
to
you,
but
the
thing
is:
I
think
that,
for
if
there
is
a
federal
stimulus
bill,
one
thing
that
we
should
be
looking
at
is
tiffy
alone
interest
reduction
or
loan
forgiveness,
yeah.
A
Okay,
council
members
on.
AM
Yes,
thank
you.
Let's
stay
with
andrew
for
a
minute,
then,
because
I
did
have
a
question
about
the
bellevue
college
connection
that
was
talked
about
and
really
also
the
the
shovel
ready
piece
you
know.
As
a
member
of
the
national
league
of
cities,
transportation
committee
for
the
last
year,
we
have
been
actively
advocating
at
the
national
level
for
funding,
and
a
lot
of
that
does
include
vision,
zero.
It
includes
transit
and
multimodal,
as
well
as
bike
infrastructure.
So
this
project
is
a
would
be
a
really
good
candidate.
AM
I
don't
see
it
in
the
book
so
seems
to
me
that
that
might
be
a
project
that
maybe
at
one
time,
was
in
the
book
and
and
was
removed.
Can
you
comment
on
where
it
is?
Can
we
get
it
back
if
we
were
to
put
it
back
in
the
cip?
What
kind
of
funding
we
might
be
talking
about?
We
have
willing
partners
with
king
county
and
bellevue
college.
It
seems.
AN
And
so
we
had
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
as
a
cip
item
for
the
college
connector.
We
spent
100
000
of
it
with
king
county
and
also
with
bellevue
college,
and
we
got
some
pretty
good
data
out
of
that
with
like
alignment,
alternatives
and
things
like
that.
But
nobody
has
really
the
money
to
move
it
ahead
with
more
design
work
that
would
cost
three
million
dollars
and
it'd
be
a
million
dollars
each.
AN
And
it's
not
that
I
I
think
that
the
project
is
going
away.
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
revisit
it.
There
are
a
lot
of
jurisdictional
issues
over
that
project
and
whose
road
it
would
be
so
that
it's
not
to
say
that
it
doesn't
have
to.
It
could
come
back
again-
and
I
just
want
to
remind
you
too,
that
the
balance
that
was
in
that
cip
account
is
what
we're
using
now
to
do
the
south
downtown
four
or
five
axis
study.
AM
Okay
thanks
and
then
do.
I
still
have
more
time.
Yes
on
question
number
47
on
the
1590.
It
said
that
it's
going
to
come
back,
so
I
just
want
to
understand.
That's
the
money
for
collection
for
affordable
housing
that
we
can
bond
against.
Is
that
timing
set
up
so
that
it
would
be
part
of
our
mid
by
discussion?
Then
I
just
want
to
understand
because
it
would
play
into
how
much
money
we
have
available
to
other
things
if
we
were
able
to
take
advantage
of
that
for
affordable
housing.
AK
I
can
the
council
resolve
this
tony
call,
as
for
when
you
would
consider
doing
a
bonding
issue
or
whether
or
not
that
would
be
part
of
the
mid-buy
can
certainly
come
up.
I
don't
think
that
council
needs
to
wait
for
the
mid-buy
if
a
large
enough
issue
comes
forward,
that
you
want
to
adjust
the
budget
for
with
that
I'll
ask
mac
if
he
has
any
additional
comments
related
to
1590,
but
we
certainly
wouldn't
need
to
wait
till
the
midby.
You
certainly
could
do
it
as
council
directs.
AQ
Yeah
thanks
councilmember
john.
I
think
I'll
just
add
that
we're
going
to
be
coming
back
to
you
with
a
number
of
policy
considerations
about
how
you
may
want
to
spend
the
1590
funds
and
that
will
lead
to
some
conclusions
about
whether
or
not
the
council
will
want
to
issue
debt
and
harvest
a
bunch
of
that
tax
revenue
quickly.
AM
D
Thanks,
I
have
three
topics
I
want
to
cover:
first
transportation.
D
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
really
appreciate
the
budget
with
the
vision,
zero
and
the
bike
network,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
we
continue
to
move
those
important
capital
projects
forward
and
so
that
we
will
be
in
good
position
to
take
advantage
of
of
grants.
I
wanted
to
the
question
I
had
was
we
have
a
transportation
levy
that
has
various
components,
bikes,
technology,
congestion,
relief,
neighborhood,
etc,
and
we
that
is
not
on
the
same
cycle
as
our
budget.
So
I
think
it
comes
forward
in
february.
D
Is
that
correct?
Someone
andrew
or
tony.
AN
I'm
not
really
sure
about
that
one.
I
thought
that
it's
a
cip
program.
You
know
the
the
levy
funding
for
congestion,
mitigation
and
neighborhood.
I
thought
I
thought
that
that
was
considered
to
be
a
cip
program.
Tony,
can
you
help.
AK
Certainly,
historically,
we,
the
transportation,
has
brought
forward
listed
the
levy
and
through
a
levy,
update,
I'm
not
sure
what
time
of
the
year
it
occurs,
but
historically,
they
have
brought
forward
some
sort
of
a
levy
update
to
make
sure
council
is
informed
on
the
projects
that
are
working
out
there.
D
Okay,
great,
so
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
when
that
comes
forward,
I'd
like
to
look
at
how
we
use
some
of
the
technology
money.
I
think
it's
time
and
the
digital
city
award
tonight
really
showed
it
we're
a
smart
city.
We
have
this
plan.
I
think
that
it
would
be
good
to
update
the
transportation
technology
with
a
study
using
some
of
that
levy
money.
It's
not
a
budget
issue
for
right
now,
but
because
we're
in
budget
discussions,
I
wanted
to
ask
that
that
come
forward
next
year
on
parks.
D
I
know
that
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
hold
these
gems
for
our
city
as
in
as
good
a
condition
as
we
can
and
continue
to
move
forward
with
our
park
expansions.
D
I
think
we're
gonna
need
to
struggle
with
that
in
the
mid-by,
because
there
really
isn't
enough
funding
right
now
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
for
the
parks
in
terms
of
maintenance
and
the
and
the
plans
that
we
have
for
new
and
improved
parks.
So
I
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
I
mentioned
that
we're
gonna
need
to
look
at
that
next
year.
D
These
are
a
really
important
resource
for
the
city,
but
we
can't
cut
police
officers
I'd
rather
let
the
grass
grow
a
little
longer
than
cut
our
police
because
that's
a
core
governmental
service,
but
I
think
we're
gonna
need
to
deal
with
this
because
we
love
our
parks
on
the
council
contingency.
D
I
would
advocate
that
we
don't
spend
more
than
the
285
000
a
year
in
this
next
year,
because
when
we
were
in
the
last
recession,
we
actually
had
a
25
million
dollar
council
contingency
and
because
the
recession
worsened
that
contingency
went
away
without
being
spent,
because
we
were
down
on
that
many
resources.
D
I
think
if
we
spent
the
whole
2
million
in
the
next
year,
or
even
in
the
next
biennium,
based
on
our
votes
this
year,
we
might
end
up
having
to
cut
more
on
other
things,
and
so
I
just
would
urge
caution
for
my
colleagues
and
then
I
will
be
supporting
request.
I
know
will
be
coming
forward
from
one
of
my
colleagues
for
the
cross
cultural
center
to
keep
that
moving
forward
and
I
will
be
making
any
recommendation
on
restoring
the
fire
training
admin
as
funded
by
bls
fees.
D
At
least
it
has
a
revenue
source
to
support
my
budget
ad
that
I'm
going
to
be
asking
for,
but
otherwise
well
done
everyone.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
stokes,.
AO
Yeah,
I
think
a
lot
of
good
questions
asked
and
comments
on
this.
So
far,
one
of
the
things
that
is
interesting-
and
I
don't
know
how
we
can
I'd
like
to
get
some
answers
to
some
of
the
comments
that
were
raised,
promoting
us
moving
forward,
doing
something
different
in
terms
of
bike
infrastructure,
or
you
know,
environmental
services
or
whatever,
and
how
that
would
affect
the
budget.
Is
there
any
implication
in
that?
I
my
feeling
is
a
lot
of
things.
AO
People
are
talking
about
just
urging
us
to
move
forward
quicker
on
things,
but
it
would
be
helpful
to
in
our
final
deliberations
to
take
a
look
at
what
what
that
would
cost
or
what
their
shifting
would
be
done
in
that
you
know
just
a
kind
of
a
quick
review
of
that,
because
sometimes
people
already
telling
us
they
like
something
we're
doing
we're
already
doing
so.
That's
which
is
good
yeah.
AO
The
parks
thing
I'm
glad
councilman
robertson
mentioned
that
because
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
this
is
not
the
time
to
do
it,
but
we
need
to
be
planning
for
that
and
looking
at
and
being
careful
of
our
spending
going
forward,
because
the
levy
has
run
out
and
parks
is
one
of
the
great
jewels
of
the
city,
and
so
I
want
to
be
keep
that
in
mind
as
we
go
forward
and
the
you
know
depends
on
what
happens
going
forward
in
the
country.
AO
So
that's
that's
a
concern,
but
I
would
like
to
you
know,
make
sure
we
address
these
issues
that
have
come
up
and
been
raised
tonight
and
otherwise
I
think
we're
in
good
shape
and
I'm
ready
to
to
move
forward.
On
that.
I
do
look
forward
to
the
conversations
of
how
we,
I
think,
we're
having
now
more
conversations
about
how
we
implement
things
and
whether
how
we're
going
to
what
the
budget
is
going
to
be
so
and
that's
good
to
get
that
point.
AO
So
that's
that's
my
comment.
Thank.
AP
Thank
you,
madame
in
following
up
with
what
I
said
earlier,
you
know
I
want
to
say
that
people
feel
listen
to
speakers.
We
have
addressed
responded
to
the
covenant
team
very
well.
The
city
has
responded
to
human
services,
small
businesses
and
the
human
service
needs
taken
care
of,
but
you
know
what
we
need
to
do
is
we
need
to
look
into
the
future
in
the
future
means
not
just
waiting
to
see
what
happens,
but
I
actually
have
to
take
action.
It's
really
to
you
know
I
wish
I
can.
AP
We
can
do
all
those
things
that
that
we
want
to
do
in
the
future.
But
the
time
is,
you
know
near
the
12th,
the
12th
11th
hour.
You
know
we're
close
making
the
final
decision,
so
we
have
to
prioritize.
You
know
have
to
look
at
which
ones
that
will
give
us
the
most
band
for
the
buck,
and
that
would
give
us
the
most
ramifications,
the
most
tying
to
all
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about.
So
I
like
to
focus
on
you
know
a
couple
of
specifics.
AP
The
one
specific
I
want
to
talk
about
is
the
cross
culture
center,
because
I
think
this
one
really
addresses
the
future.
It's
the
people
that
we
have
in
our
city.
It's
a
drug
drug
talks
about
as
we
talk
about
equity
equity
task
force.
You
know
we
talk
about
what
brought
up
you
know
with
this
covert.
19
show
us
what
we
have
to
do
to
respond,
and
it's
it's
the
community,
let's
work
together.
So
I
believe
that
you
know
we
do
need
to
continue
to
make.
AP
Take
the
next
step,
with
the
cut
with
the
consultant
report
that
we
received
this
project
being
was
being
under
under,
however,
being
studied
for
the
last
four
years.
So
it's
time
for
us,
the
timing's
right,
we
got
to
move,
and
so
I
know
the
most
likely
the
money
coming
from
it
is
going
to
be
from
the
council
contingency
fund.
AP
So
I
appreciate
the
staff
has
been
looking
at
it
coming
up
with
a
budget,
and
I
you
know
don't
well
you
know,
so
we
I'm.
I
appreciate
it
we're
going
to
have
that
exactly
what
it
is.
What's
it
going
to
do,
how
is
it
going
to
be
done?
I
think
it's
important
that
we
do
have
a
product
have
a
so
I
believe
the
city
manager
has
mentioned.
You
know
just
so
that
we
can
save
time.
I
don't
need
to
ask,
they
were
talking
about.
Maybe
hundred
thousand
dollars
be
adequate
what's
adequate?
AP
AP
50
means
2022.
You
know
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
things
happen,
that
we
are
moving
forward.
So
I
I
would
like
to
propose
that
we
provide
funding
for
this
and
address
the
interests
that
people
have
raised
and
we
want
to
see
what
deliverables
we
can
have,
which
means.
I
believe
that
we
need
to
look
at
some
kind
of
facility.
What
needs
has
to
be
met?
We
need
to
have
a
community
effort.
People
need
to
really
come
to
the
table.
AP
A
For
three
minutes
here,
so
I'm
gonna,
have
you
stop
right
now
and
I'll
come
back
to
you
so
I'll
tell
you
it's
hard
for
me
to
manage
a
meeting
and
come
up
with
my
own
ideas,
but
I'm
going
to
try.
So
I'm
curious
about
the
neighborhood
enhancement
program
that
we
have.
I
know
that
we
put
that
on
hold
during
our
last
recession
and
I'm
curious.
A
I
think
I'm
right
that
it
covers
two
neighborhoods
a
year.
I
believe
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
were
to
put
on
hold,
would
we
be
able
to
for
for
two
years
how
many
neighborhoods
would
that
affect,
and
could
we
use
that
funding
for
the
park
maintenance?
That
would
benefit
the
entire
city
because
it
would
benefit
all
the
parks
in
the
city.
That's
my
first
question
and
then
I
am
very
concerned
about
our
small
businesses.
I
think
it's
very
critical
time
for
them
right
now,
so
I
guess
I'm.
A
Instead
of
making
assumptions,
I
should
ask
jesse
canado
to
weigh
in
on
how
fast
he
thinks
people
will
be
able
to
access
relief
funding
for
small
businesses
in
our
city
using
the
state
dollars
and
then,
if
there's
any
increased
federal
funding
available.
So
those
are
my
two
questions.
Those.
C
Questions
go
to
both
mac
and
tony.
AK
I
I
can
step
into
the
nep
quickly
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mac.
It's
725
000
a
year
for
the
years
and
yes
mayor.
We
did
I'm
not
sure
if
we
put
it
on
pause,
it's
a
bit
before
my
time,
so
it
it
was
really.
I
know
it
was
reinstated
a
couple
years
after
the
great
recession.
So
as
to
how
many
neighborhoods
impact,
I
would
need
to
turn
that
over
to
mac.
AQ
Thank
you
tony
yes,
mayor
you're,
correct.
We
do
in
the
nep
program
two
neighborhoods
each
year,
and
so
if
the
council
were
to
reallocate
those
funds,
you
know
the
program
would
go
on
hiatus
it.
If
you
were
to
do
that,
it
certainly
would
affect
staffing.
You
know
as
well.
We
have
a
program
manager
responsible
for
that
program.
If
you'd,
like
some
further
analysis
on
that,
we
can
work
with
finance
and
or
parks
on.
I
think
a
specific
proposal
that
you
just
just
made.
AR
Thank
you
for
the
question
so
as
far
as
we
understand
it
from
the
state
at
the
moment,
in
terms
of
those
additional
funds
coming
from
the
governor's
office,
we
should
start
to
see
the
application
or
understand
the
application
process
for
that
in
about
three
to
four
weeks
and
then
get
the
addition
to
start
getting
the
funds
into
the
businesses
bank
accounts
about
another
four
to
six
weeks
after
that.
A
A
month
and
a
half
to
two
months
is
a
really
long
time
when
you're
barely
making
it
for
a
small
business.
Have
you
gotten
any
feedback
from
the
small
businesses
in
our
city
on
this.
AR
On
the
need,
yes,
there
is
at
least
another
half
million
dollars
worth
of
need
for
our
small
businesses
in
bellevue,
in
terms
of
grant
graham
requests.
Wow.
A
AM
Yes,
actually
I
I
did
have
a
question.
I
think
one
of
the
other
council
members
brought
this
up.
You
know
when
I
think
about
the
trade-offs.
They
all
affect
people
and
I
think
about
our
revenue
risk
and
really,
how
do
we
invest
in
partnerships
so
that
we
can
pull
money
or
or
find
partners
and
use
our
money
as
seed
money
right,
whether
that's
human
services
and
amazon
being
a
great
partner?
AM
I
just
think
that
I,
I
wonder,
on
the
small
business
part
whether
there
are
any
of
the
businesses.
That
would
also
would
be
willing
to
have
some
partnership
and
help
some
of
these
small
businesses
in
need
in
this
bridge
time
period
or
if
we
were
to
make
some
money
available.
Can
it
just
be
more
of
a
bridge
to
funding
coming
in
from
other
sources?
I'm
just
wondering
if
those
discussions
have
already
been
happening
and
if
that's
possible,
maybe
that's
not
exactly
the
budget
question,
but
it
seems
like
it's
related
to
this
budget.
C
As
a
member
zone
in
terms
of
partnering
with
respect
to
business,
I
don't
know
if
I
I'm
looking
to
to
both
jesse
and
mack,
if
there's
anything
there
or
any
of
the
other
lt
members
with
respect
to
that
question,
and
if
not,
we
will
get
back
to
you
with
a
with
some
kind
of
assessment
mac.
Do
you.
AQ
Yeah
city
management,
I
think
it'd,
be
best
if
we
got
back
to
the
council.
We
are
always
looking
for
opportunities
for
outside
funding
sources
and
to
leverage
our
city
funds
to
get
more
bang
for
the
buck,
so
to
speak.
So
we
can
certainly
prepare
a
list
of
how
that's
been
done
in
the
past
and
what
we'll
look
to
do
over
the
next
finding.
I.
C
I
would
also
add
to
that
there
are,
I
know
at
least
one
cip
project,
where
we
leverage
for
grants,
for
you
know,
grant
opportunities
for
purposes
like
that.
AM
Okay
and
then
my
and
then
my
other
question,
I
think
this
one
also
came
up
previously
the
bellevue
diversity
advantage
plan.
I
know
that
that
was
a
plan
that
I
took
with
me
when
I
took
my
racial
equity
training
in
at
the
national
league
of
cities
and
it's
a
much
broader
plan
to
look
at
any
number
of
diversity
components,
and
I
don't
recall
that
it
actually
has
anything
specifically
about
racial
equity.
So
is,
can
someone
comment
on
that
plan?
I
don't
recall
that
that
was
the
focus
at
all.
C
D
AO
AP
I
do
have
another
one:
is
the
transportation
technology
specifically
on
autonomous
vehicle?
I
think
that
we
have
some
money.
That's
provided
for
that.
The
question
is
what
specific
projects
are
we
looking
at
and
what
would
it
be?
And
my
feeling
is
that
this
would
actually
also
address
a
lot
of
other
things
that
have
been
discussed
like
vision,
zero
such
as
another
one
is
because
in
developing
autonomous
vehicle
we
need
to
develop
the
technology,
and
the
technology
would
actually
be
used
for
vision,
zero
safety
and
for
climate
change
for
environment.
AP
I
think
these
are
all
part
of
mp
is
possible,
working
with
smart
city
initiative.
I
know
the
city
has
a
very,
as
we
heard
earlier.
You
know
the
award
for
first
place
in
the
you
know:
smart
city
budgets,
and
so
I
want
to
be
sure
that
we
have
specific
tie-ins
and
we
take
advantage
of
the
opportunity
in
federal
government.
AP
You
know
federal
government
dod
are
looking
for
a
technology
to
improve
infrastructures
to
address
to
address
the
future,
the
growth
and
congestion
you
know.
So
I
want
to
be
sure
that
we
have
the
funding
necessary
the
mechanism
in
the
next
year
or
two
or
three
moving
forward
until
we
get
to
another
budget
so
that
we
are
not
going
to
be
waiting
sitting
here.
So
maybe
andrew
you
know,
I
see
you
here.
You
might
want
to
sing
a
word
or
two.
AN
Well,
I
mean
we
do
have
about
150
000
a
year
in
the
levy
that
we
use
for
partnerships
on
smart
technology
and
we've
been
trying
for
a
while
we're
we're
definitely
keeping
our
eye
on
the
ball
in
that
regard,
and
I
believe
we
have
a
briefing
set
up
with
you
tomorrow
to
talk
about
the
latest
that
we've
been
talking
about,
and
I
talked
with
sabra
and
sometime
next
year,
it'd
be
good
to
have
a
smart
cities
update
for
the
council
to
talk
about
the
things
that
we
have
been
doing.
AN
AP
This
also
addresses
the
private
public
partnership
thing.
You
know,
I
think
we
have
great
opportunities
in
this
area:
the
technology
of
amazon,
microsoft
they
all
here
in
the
backyard.
But
the
point
is
that
the
facility
that
the
city
has
to
provide
the
leadership
and
we
have
to
facilitate
this
process.
So
thank
you
very
much
andrew
appreciate.
It.
A
Okay,
thank
you
councilmember
lee
and
I
guess
my
last
question
back
to
jesse
is:
do
we
have
any
funds
and
if
we
did
do
you
think
we
could
do
some
sort
of
a
bridge
funding
for
our
local
small
businesses
that
would
be
reimbursed
by
the
state?
If
do
you
think
that's
a
possible
scenario
and
if
so,
do
you
think
we
have
any
funds
that
we
could
use
for
that.
AR
Mayor,
I
would
say,
we'd
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
that
question.
Grants
to
small
businesses
are
extremely
complicated
in
washington
state,
so
we'd
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
that.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
all
right.
So
what
we're
gonna
launch
into
now
is.
I'm
gonna
give
each
council
member
six
minutes
to
kind
of
do
a
pitch
of
what
they
would
like
to
see
with
this
budget,
and
hopefully
you
six
minutes
is
enough
time
and
then
we
can
go
around
and
make
ask
questions
or
make
comments
and
we'll
just
see
how
we
do
with
this
and
we'll
start
with
councilmember
barksdale.
AJ
As
I
mentioned
in
my
response
to
public
comments
a
few
weeks
ago,
as
a
city
and
community,
we
must
engage
in
these
conversations
related
to
race
and
racial
equity.
Our
community
is
over
50
minority
and
to
me
our
vision,
statement
acknowledging
that
diversity
is
our
strength,
strength
and
that
we
welcome
the
world
means
that
we
address
the
needs
of
those
bipolar
black
indigenous
people
of
color
in
our
community,
who
do
not
feel
the
sense
of
belonging
that
we
aspire
for
everyone
in
our
community
to
fill.
AJ
We've
heard
the
need
from
our
community
and
we've
heard
that
traditional
models
of
community
engagement,
despite
best
intent,
often
failed
to
provide
authentic
and
safe
spaces
for
discussions
around
issues
of
race
and
equity.
The
bellevue
center's
communities
of
color
initiative
would
allow
for
creating
a
communities
of
color
coordinating
team
comprised
of
community
members
that
would
lead
planning
and
implementation
instilling
empathy,
trust
and
awareness
through
these
necessary
conversations,
building
racial
literacy
and
skills
across
public,
private
and
nonprofit
stakeholder
groups
throughout
our
community
and
fostering
community
partnerships
toward
co-creating
recommendations
for
actions
with
racial
equity
outcomes.
A
Okay,
council
members
on,
would
you
like
to
go
now
and
tag
team
here
or
do
you
want
to
wait.
AM
I
could
add
my
comments
here
and
then
we'll
have
to
figure
out
the
six
minutes,
if
that's
okay
sure.
So
I
would
say
that
this
is
well
past
time
for
us
to
take
this
step.
As
we've
heard
in
comments
right,
we
need
to
make
a
commitment
and
a
pledge
to
racial
equity
and
we
need
to
center
the
voices
of
those
who
have
not
always
been
heard
in
our
community,
and
we
need
to
co-create
what
racial
equity
means
in
our
community
with
the
community.
AM
So
you
know,
while
I
applaud
the
city
for
looking
at
our
use
of
force
review,
that
is
only
one
component
of
this
work.
Racial
equity
is
so
much
more
and
I
think
it
aligns
really
well
with
the
cross-cultural
center,
which
is
also
being
proposed.
That
I
think,
is
in
alignment
with
this
work
that
we
need
to
do
right.
This
is
really
how
we
look
at
a
scan
of
our
policies
of
equity
and
looking
at
the
policies
we
already
have
in
place
in
a
number
of
areas
like
esi,
like
economic
development
like
covet,
affordable
housing.
AM
AJ
Okay,
I
propose
a
budget
amendment
requesting
150
000
a
year,
300
000
total
in
support
of
having
a
senior
policy
professional,
such
as
an
analyst
in
the
council
office.
I
appreciate
the
work
that
staff
and
leadership
team
do
to
respond
to
questions
and
policy
issues.
We
raise
this
council
to
ensure
our
community
has
the
services
they
need.
In
many
cases
our
requests
require
departmental
staff
to
pull
away
from
their
current
priorities
to
do
preliminary
research
and
analysis
on
our
requests
that
are
beyond
the
current
scope
of
priorities
or
our
community
issues.
AJ
AJ
This
results
in
a
dance
to
either
avoid
the
eight-hour
limit
or
figure
out
how
to
get
bring
the
how
to
bring
it
to
council
to
get
past
88
hour
rule
having
a
senior
policy
profession
in
the
council
office
who
could
do
preliminary
research
analysis
on
policy
issues
and
ideas
raised
by
council
would
enable
council
to
more
deeply
understand
policy
issues
and
the
viability
of
policy
ideas,
while
reducing
the
impact
on
departmental
staff.
This
in
turn
helps
improve
the
efficiency
of
departmental,
departmental
staff
and
policymaking.
So
that's
for
your
support
there.
AJ
I
propose
a
budget
amendment
requesting
150
000
a
year
in
support
of
enhancing
our
business
intelligence
capability.
We
value
understanding
the
needs
of
our
community
and
ensuring
our
services
are
responsive
to
those
evolving
needs.
Currently.
A
E
Hey
thank
you
mayor
two
items,
one,
I'm
not
sure
we
have
a
cost
associated
with
it
yet
and-
and
that
was
came
up
during
our
last
meeting
regarding
having
a
tag
associated
with
the
esis
technical
advisory
group.
I
have
not
received
any
numbers
on
that.
Yet
so
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
a
cost
associated
with
having
a
tag,
but
I
would
like
to
propose
that
we
add
that
as
a
potential
amendment,
but
you
know
first
would
have
to
wait
to
see
what
that
total
cost
might
be.
AK
Ahead,
I
I
don't
have
a
cost
for
you
today.
I
think
it
depends
on
scope
and
size
and
frequencies.
I
think,
there's
probably
some
work
that
still
needs
to
be
done
in
that
space.
E
Okay,
great
so
we'll
add
that
one
for
now
the
second
one
is
in
in
respect
to
the
great
work
that
the
bellevue
chamber
and
the
bellevue
town
town
association
have
done
in
our
community.
I
can't
think
of
other
than
the
great
work
that
our
city
has
done.
Two
groups
that
have
done
so
much
to
keep
a
lot
of
small
businesses
alive.
Restaurants,
going
in
our
city
during
this
pandemic,
as
jesse
and
mack
have
presented
to
us
previously.
E
They've
helped
with
everything
from
helping
to
fill
out
forms
for
loans
and
grants
to
helping
distribute
ppe
to
helping
us
get
off
the
ground
with
the
great
outdoor,
dining
on
main
street,
so
a
modest
request,
but
a
request
of
about
forty
thousand,
so
twenty
thousand
going
to
each
organization
to
help
them
continue
to
do
the
great
work
that
they're
doing
in
our
in
our
city,
especially
to
help
with
the
small
business
community,
restaurants,
etc.
That
really
need
that
additional
help
from
these
two
and
tremendous
organizations.
A
E
Before
we
won
just
in
case,
we're
not
able
to
comment
on
it
next
round,
do
fully
support
the
cross
cost
cultural
center
that
I
believe
council
member
lee
will
be
speaking
to
a
little
bit
later
and
then
also
fully
in
support
of
councilmember
robertson's
great
idea
to
fund
the
training
admin
through
through
the
through
the
feast
structure
there.
So
just
wanted
to
mention
that
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
we
will
have
a
chance
to
comment
and
ask
questions
of
each
other's
proposal
here.
AM
Yes,
thank
you.
I
think
it
is
very
crucial
to
keep
bellevue
strong,
but
I
would
add
that
we
want
to
position
bellevue
to
be
even
stronger,
so
when
I
think
about
the
areas
that
I
think
are
still
a
bit
of
a
gap
for
us,
you
know
I
think
1590
addresses
affordable
housing,
human
services
with
some
partnerships.
AM
Hopefully
the
small
business
grants
public
safety,
we're
keeping
those
funds.
So
for
me
the
three
areas
are
the
racial
equity
that
we've
already
talked
about.
I
support
the
cross-cultural
center
transportation
and
the
environment,
so
I
wanna
to
talk
about
first
on
the
transportation.
AM
I
recommend
that
provision
zero,
that
we
take
the
2.5
million
dollars
and
we
started
in
2021
there's
an
urgency
to
this,
because
we
are
seeing
that
that
cars
are
driving
faster
during
covid,
we've
had
incidences
on
our
streets
with
folks
being
harmed.
We
can't
wait
so
this
money
needs
to
start.
It
says
rapid
build
and
it
needs
to
be
rapid,
so
I
would
recommend
that
the
the
2.5
million
actually
start
in
2021
and
be
spread
over
the
seven
years
on
the
growth
corridor.
AM
I
also
think
that
that
one
has
urgency-
and
we
heard
that
from
the
speakers
so
instead
of
only
having
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
2021,
I
think
we
should
have
the
500
000
every
year
for
the
next
three
years
and
then
hopefully,
if
we
can
get
additional
funding
or
some
partners
that
that
money
will
go
farther
for
us.
So
I
would
look
forward
to
us
really
looking
for
more
partners
to
do
some
of
that
work
and
really,
let's
be
heroes
for
xero.
AM
In
addition,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
money
in
there,
so
we
are
actually
going
to
get
some
annual
reporting
on
our
vision,
zero
achievements.
So
that's
one
of
the
my
ass
and
then
on
the
bellevue
connection,
bellevue
college.
I
do
think
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
this
highly
competitive
project
that
may
be
eligible
for
grant
funding
is
at
least
in
our
cip,
even
if
we're
only
going
to
put
a
modest,
fifty
or
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
into
the
budget.
AM
AM
That's
going
to
matter
the
most
2030
is
going
to
be
here
before
we
know
it,
and
although
I
do
see
that
there's
some
modest
amounts
of
funds
in
there
with
150
000,
I
don't
think
that's
nearly
enough,
and
I
would
request
that
we
actually
create
a
line
item
for
rapid
early
win
actions
of
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
each
year.
That
really
looks
at
the
actions
that
we
already
know
exists
right
as
the
speakers
that
came
and
talked
to
us
and
gave
us
the
workbooks
we're
not
actually
trying
to
reinvent
anything.
AM
These
different
160
tools
are
already
available.
So,
let's
make
sure
that
we
have
funds
to
be
able
to
move
quickly
on
these
actions,
and
I
would
just
say
that
if
we
are
short
on
money,
I
would
rather
spend
the
money
on
actions
than
resources
of
staff
to
staff
a
tag
or
or
other
committees,
where
that's
money
that
we
could
be
putting
into
the
actual
actions
that
we're
trying
to
do
so.
AM
Those
are
my
pieces
and
then
I
think
I
mentioned
the
cross-cultural
center
that
I
support
and
I
book
so
anyway
that
that's
where
I
am
thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Great
councilmember
robertson.
D
Thanks,
I
just
have
one
small
budget
amendment
that
I
would
like
staff
to
prepare
for
the
december
7th
meeting
and
that
is
to
restore
the
fire
train,
the
training
admin
to
the
fire
department.
D
This
was
a
position
that
was
not
cut
in
the
last
recession
when
we
cut
a
lot
of
positions
for
the
city,
and
we
had
fewer
positions,
then
than
we
do
today,
with
the
upcoming
fire
station
10
and
needing
to
hire
13
new
firefighter
paramedics
to
to
staff
that
and
with
the
high
rate
of
retirements,
that
we
have
right
now.
We're
gonna
need
this
position
funded
more
than
ever,
because
we'll
be
onboarding
new
people,
we're
gonna,
be
training
them
up,
etc
and
training
helps
all
of
these
people.
D
All
of
the
members
of
the
department
do
better
and
provide
better
for
the
people
of
bellevue
who
are
in
crisis
when
they
see
them,
so
that
is
an
80
000
a
year
ad,
because
capital
or
because
city
council
contingency,
is
typically
a
one-time
money
funding.
I
am
suggesting
that
we
change
the
basic
life
support
transport
fee
to
the
950
level,
which
which
is
just
above
median
for
the
area,
certainly
not
anywhere
near
the
highest,
because
that
will
be
the
funding
source
to
cover
this
cost.
D
And
so
I
will
be
asking
my
colleagues
to
support
that.
I
do
support
the
cross-cultural
money,
which
is
again
one-time
funding
from
the
council
contingency
and
I
know
we're
going
to
have
a
chance
to
ask
questions
of
our
colleagues
later,
but
I'm
hearing
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
different,
pretty
sizable
requests,
but
I
don't
see
where
those
are
going
to
be
funded
from
and
if
we're
going
to
be
funding
them
from
existing
revenues,
which
is
all
we
have.
D
We
either
need
to
raise
revenue
to
fund
them
or
we
need
to
cut
something
else.
So
I
would
ask
that
when
my
colleagues
are
bringing
forward
amendments
that
we
identify
where
it's
coming
from,
because
it
can't
all
come
from
council
contingency,
there
isn't
enough
money
there,
and
that
is
really
one-time
money.
It's
not
ongoing
money
for
new
ftes
that
are
going
to
stay
with
us.
So
that's
the
questions
I'll
be
asking
my
colleagues
so
just
get
ready
when
it's
my
turn
to
ask
questions
for
all
of
you.
D
AO
AO
I
think
sophia
way
could
use
some
resources
also,
and
I
think
that
would
send
a
good
signal
to
the
community
and
and
do
something-
that's
very,
very
important
in
this
time
I
mean
they're
dealing
a
lot
with,
and
it's
a
large
part
of
the
minority
community
and
and
they're
really
dealing
with
a
lot
of
issues
with
covid
and
the
whole
disruption
of
the
economy,
and
that
would
be
a
big
boost
there.
So
I
don't
know
how
much
that
is
offhand,
but
I
would
really
think
that's
that's
something
we
could
do.
AO
That
would
really
kind
of
actually
put
a
good,
a
good,
a
good
shining
light
on
that.
We
are
serious
about
the
racial
equity
and
and
we're
willing
to
look
outside
the
line,
sometimes
to
to
different
places
and
look
at
and
go
forward
on
that
on
the
150
000
the
proposal
on
racial
equity
resources.
AO
I
support
that
completely
again
that
that's
something
that
I
think
has
we
talked
a
lot
about
it,
but
in
terms
of
actually
working
on
it
we
can
do
better
and
that's
not
a
lot
in
the
whole
of
you
know
several
million
dollar
budget,
and
I
think
that
would
be
important.
The
last
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
in
term
and
been
a
lot
of
other
comments
made.
AO
But
again,
as
I
said
earlier,
I
think
the
100
000
and
coming
from
the
council
contingency
for
continue
looking
at
the
cross-cultural
center,
and
this
is
strictly
looking
at
you-
know
the
research
and
and
going
on
that,
and
but
I
also
want
to
encourage
a
robust
discussion
this
coming
year,
because
I
think
there
are
multiple
ways
to
accomplish
that
goal.
Building
a
you
know
a
cultural.
AO
Tattoo
center
is
not
necessarily
the
best
way
to
go.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
options
so,
and
I
think
that's
why
it's
important
to
have
this
money
and
have
the
the
consultants
look
at
that.
So
I
feel
very
strongly
about
that
one.
Otherwise,
there
are
a
lot
of
other
things
that
have
been
put
out
here
and
I
think
we
need
to
have
some
information
back
from
staff
about
what
the
cost
would
be
on
this.
AO
You
know
the
so
there
are
a
lot
of
obviously
a
lot
of
needs
that
that
are
coming
up
that
we
haven't
addressed.
So
I
I'm
you
know,
I
I
think
there's
just
a
lot
to
be
looked
at
and
it's
it's
hard
to
do
it
with
all
the
discussion
we're
having
now
and
put
it
together
in
a
consistent
way.
AO
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
some
follow-up
on
this-
and
I
think
at
this
the
meeting
on
december
7th
is
when
we
could
actually
bring
these
pieces
together
and
start
talking
about
in
a
coherent
way
how
this
would
what
would
be,
how
we
fit
into
the
budget.
What
would
be
some
changes
or
looking
at
things
differently
at
that
time?
But
this
is
a
great
conversation.
It's
just
not
a
conversation.
AO
That's
going
to
actually
answer
any
questions
on
things
so,
but
those
are
the
two
things,
the
three
things
that
I'm
really
interested
in
putting
some
money
into
at
this
point-
and
you
know
having
further
conversations
on
this
and
look
forward
to
getting
information
back
from
staff
on
a
number
of
these
and
been
doing
the
hard
part
of
figuring
out
how
to
deal
with
it.
We
do
have
a
contingency
and
I
know
we
don't
want
to
spend
it
all
in
a
short
time
period.
AO
But
actually
this
is
a
time
to
act,
because
if
we
keep,
we
have
a
unique
opportunity
in
this
particularly
weird
situation,
to
make
great
advances
in
bellevue,
but
it
means
we
have
to
make
some
investments
now
and
not
think
that.
Well,
you
know.
Maybe
we
need
to
put
some
of
this
aside
for
three
years
down
the
line
three
years
down,
the
line
will
be
completely
different
and
I
think
we
can.
We
need
to
address
things
that
are
urgent
now,
including
things
to
help
small
businesses
or
small,
or
you
know,
individuals
in
the
community.
AO
So
I
think
I
think
it's
a
good
process.
It's
it's
as,
and
you
know,
making
budgets
is
like
it's
kind
of
messy,
but
I
think
it's
a
we've
made
some
advances,
and
so
I'm
ready
to
have
some
more
conversations
about
that
and
but
get
we
need
to
get
some
more
information
back
on
what
this
all
means
and
how
we
could
put
it
together.
AP
Thank
you,
I'm
glad
that
there's
so
many.
You
know
great
ideas
and
enthusiasm
about
you
know
what
can
be
better
for
our
city
and
that's
the
future.
My
concern
is
which
is
council
member
robertson
mentioned.
You
know
I
I
didn't
realize
we
got
all
this
money
come
from
somewhere.
I
don't
know
where
it
is,
but
I
think
that's
the
first
question.
We
need
to
ask
staff
and
we
only
have
one
week
not
a
couple
weeks.
We
have
to
make
the
decision,
I'm
not
sure.
AP
If
that
can
all
happen-
and
you
know
only
thing
I
could
say
is
that
I
support
a
lot
of
these
great
ideas,
specifically
the
racial
and
equity.
You
know
issue
the
question:
is
you
know
the?
I
support
the
multiple
center
as
a
priority,
because
this
addresses
a
lot
of
the
questions.
That's
raised
a
lot
of
the
project
that
we
want
to
do.
You
know
a
lot
of
things
that
we
want
to
figure
out
how
to
move
forward.
You
know
so
it
requires
a
community
and
it's
really
all
interconnected.
AP
You
know
the
multicultural
center
or
the
cross
country
center
is
really
the
total
of
all
these
communities.
That
we
are
talking
about,
we
are
addressing
in
parts
and
pieces
and
we
want
to
have
a
conversation.
You
know
have
a
task
force
or
whatever
it's
more
discussion
have
staff
doing
it,
but
I
believe
that
course
culture
center.
The
idea
is
actually
making
it
happen
of
all
the
people
with
different
ideas.
How
do
we
get
them
all
together
and
solving
a
common
problem
and
the
problem?
That
is
what
we're
talking
about.
AP
That's,
why
we're
struggling
to
see
what?
How
can
we
handle
address
solve
manage
these
problems,
so
I
I
believe
that
the
cross
culture
center
is
really
the
mechanics,
the
everyday,
hands-on
way
of
people
getting
together,
sharing
their
values
sharing
their
strengths,
and
this
is
what
we
are
all
talking
about
and
so
yeah,
I'm
not
gonna
speak
for.
You
know
all
the
how
much
money
it
takes.
What
does
it
really
take?
It's
the
priority
we
have
to
be
making.
You
know,
I
think,
ultimately,
that's
all
we
have
to
do
and
we're
not
talking
about.
AP
Well,
there's
a
lot
of
money.
Let's
just
do
it,
you
know,
I
would
love
to
do
all
those
things,
but
I
don't
think
that's
you
know
that's
responsible,
and
so
I
I
would
say,
ask
our
colleagues,
my
colleagues,
each
of
you,
you
got
to
choose
and
pay
got
to
prioritize
and
if
we
believe
you
know,
cross-cultural
center
can
provide
the
basis
foundations,
the
mechanism,
the
infrastructure,
the
machines,
the
people
that
actually
can
handle,
manage
and
talk
about
all
these
situations.
AP
K
AP
I
you
know,
I
don't:
the
staff
came
up
with
some
money,
that's
fine.
They
provided
some
work
scope,
that's
fine,
but
I
just
want
to
be
sure
the
bottom
line
is
we
all
understand
that,
at
the
end
of
the
study,
whatever,
when
we
spend
the
money
hope,
hopefully
we
don't
need
to
spend
all
the
money.
We
will
have
a
product,
a
deliverable
that
actually
shows
that
all
the
different
groups-
different
multicultural
groups,
all
the
people
living
in
belgium
have
conversation
and
dialogue,
they
discussed
it
and
they
all
agree.
AP
What
do
they
think
are
the
needs
to
bring
people
together
so
that
we
can
share
our
strength
and
share
our
experience
share
ability
to
solve
all
these
problems,
so
we
need
to
have
that
concept.
The
product
two
we
need
to
know
in
order
to
do
that.
What
do
we
need
to
have
what
kind
of
project?
What
kind
of
what?
What
does
it
look
like?
You
know
how.
AR
AP
Do
that
okay
and
the
group
the
community
will
make
to
hopefully
come
up
with
the
solution,
three,
what
it
costs
if
they
cost
anything
at
all,
and
then
out
of
that
we
know
how
much
is
public.
How
much
is
private,
I
hope
the
pub.
I
hope
the
private
sector
was
a
gee,
what
a
great
deal
and
all
the
community
members,
everybody
would
say,
we'll
step
in
it's
truly
a
community
community
center,
truly
a
cross-cultural
community
center.
Where
these
things
can
actually
happen,
then
the
city
council
can
decide.
Yes,
we
know
how
to
get
that.
AP
We
know
what
the
cost
we
no
one
looks
like.
Then
we
know:
what's
the
next
step,
that's
what
I'm
advocating
all
the
others
are
great,
but
you
know-
and
the
second
point
I
want
to
make
is
so
I
appreciate
some
cancer
member
supporting
because
I've
been
talking
about
this
for
a
long
time,
so
things
the
other
one
is
the
transportation,
because
the
technology
that's
another
thing,
it's
an
ability,
it's
a
something
that
can
enable
us
to
actually
tackle
these
problems,
problems
of
model,
multimodal
transportation
system.
How
do
we
make
it
safe?
AP
How
do
we
make
transit
how
to
make
pedestrians
sorry
bicycles,
all
these
things,
how
we
make
it
work
together,
compatibly
through
technology
through
artificial
intelligence?
And
so
you
know
by
doing
that,
we
can
actually
improve
our
environment.
We
have
we
can
address
our
climate
change,
so
I
believe
that's
really
the
the
the
the
universal
way
of
solving
the
problem
that
we're
doing.
Okay,.
A
Your
time's
up
council
member
lee,
okay,
that's
it!
Thank
you!
Thank
you.
So
I
would
like
to
see
us
use
our
council
contingency
and
invest
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
creating
a
cultural
center
technical
advisory
group
that
would
meet
for
a
year
and
have
staff
support
to
come
up
with
the
citing
the
scale,
the
goals,
the
purpose,
the
budget
and
the
preferred
concept
of
a
cultural
center,
and
so
that
would
be
a
one-year
one-time
spend
on
of
a
hundred
thousand
of
a
hundred
thousand
from
the
council
contingency.
A
And
then
we
can,
at
the
biennium,
look
at
the
recommendations
and
budget
for
implementation
or
whatever.
The
next
step
is,
and
then
I'd
also
like
to
take
a
hundred
thousand
from
the
council
contingency
and
put
it
toward
an
racial
equity
technical
advisory
group
to
help
guide
us
in
policy
that
maybe
we
need
to
change
recommendations,
setting
goals
for
our
city,
and
that
would
be
a
year
process
as
well
and
that
would
be
staffed.
A
Let's
see,
I
think
those
are
the
two
things
that
I
wanted.
I
thought
there
was
one
more
just
hold
on
for
a
sec.
A
Well,
oh
yeah,
and
then
I
would
like
to
prioritize
the
rapid
implementation
of
the
vision,
zero
projects
and
our
ped
bike
program,
because
it's
there's
nothing
more
dangerous
than
having
only
partial
bike
infrastructure
in
your
it
city.
It
runs
out
on
you
and
it's
really
scary,
and
I
just
I
would
like
to
do
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
move
that
to
the
top
of
the
list.
A
A
You
you
support
or
if
you
have
questions,
and
we
will
give
everybody
a
chance
to
get
their
questions
answered
from
each
council
member
as
well.
If
you
want
to
address
them,
but
I'd
like
to
limit
it
to
three
minutes.
A
If
we
can
each
person
it
will
take
as
long
as
we
need
to
go
around
so
council
member,
so
I'm
I'm
trying
to
get
kind
of
a
consensus
of
if
you
support
the
recommendations
of
your
or
the
asks
of
your
fellow
council
members
or
not,
and
so
that,
at
the
end
of
the
night
staff
has
an
idea
of
what
the
consensus
is
and
they
can
bring
it
back
at
our
next
meeting.
AJ
AJ
A
Oh,
oh,
okay!
So
all
right!
So
before
this
comment
on
each
we'll
go
around
again
and
let
each
person
and
you
didn't
get
to
do
your
your
third
thing-
I
just
realized
so
we'll.
Let
each
person
summarize
quickly-
and
you
don't
have
to
if
you
feel
like
you
were
clear
but
yeah
so
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
summary
for
us
and
add
what
you
didn't
get
to
put
in.
AJ
Sounds
good,
so
one
was
the
racial
equity
that
lb
center
and
communities,
color
initiative,
the
policy
professional
in
the
council
office
and
where
I
would
expect
I'm
curious
actually
to
see
if
there
is
anyone
in
currents
like
in
our
staff,
existing
staff
that
might
be
willing
or
interested
in
serving
in
that
capacity.
AJ
And
then
the
third
is
adding
language
in
the
utilities.
Objective.
Specific,
specifically
saying
identify
opportunities
for
innovations
that
help
improve
system,
reliability
and
storm
water
management,
and
this
builds
off
of
the
comments.
I've
provided
in
a
previous
council
meeting
about
ways
that
we
can
maybe
leverage
innovation,
innovative
technology,
and
so
the
ask
here
is
that
we
prioritize
at
least
identifying
those
opportunities
so
that
in
future
years
we
have
identified
those
opportunities
that
we
could
then
take
advantage
of
when
we
have
funding
so.
E
AM
Yes,
so
mine
were
the
vision,
zero,
moving,
that
up
to
2021
to
start
50
000,
so
that
the
bellevue
college
connection
can
be
added
back
to
the
cip,
the
growth
corridor,
having
500
000
each
year
for
three
years
instead
of
much
less
next
year
and
then
ramping
up
and
then
for
the
environmental
stewardship.
Having
a
what
was
I
calling
that
a
rapid
action,
implementation
or
rapid
early
win.
A
AM
There
you
go
rapid
early
when
actions
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
each
year,
and
I
would
say
from
the
standpoint
of
budget:
let's
do
that
for
the
next
two
years
as
seed
money,
so
that
we
can
then
look
for
sponsors,
investors
and
partners
and
then,
in
the
mid
by.
We
could
always
take
a
look
at
whether
we
need
to
make
some
changes
to
that.
So
I
think
those
were
the
ones
that
I
proposed
that
were
not
already
proposed
by
someone
else.
D
Thanks
the
keeping
the
fire
training
admin
with
the
bls
fee
as
the
funding
source.
AO
A
AO
And
I'll
support
the
hundred
thousand
for
the
cross
cultural
center.
I'm
not
sure
what
you
mean
by
your
proposal
to
have
a
technical
advisory
committee
to
do
that,
so
those
are
two
different
concepts.
I
think
right
is
that
what
you're
thinking
about
is
different
from
having
the
consultants
continue.
AO
Okay,
I
would
support
that
as
long
as
it's
it
sounds
like
you've
already
made
or
suggesting
the
decision
is
what
to
do
has
already
been
made.
I'm
not
sure
that's
accurate
okay,
so
I
we
have
a
problem
with
that,
but
I
think
100
000.
That's
why
I
think
the
consultants
have
not
finished
their
job,
but
we
could
have
that
conversation
later.
AO
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
ways
to
approach
it.
That
would
be
in
some
ways
would
be
even
better
than
what's
been
talked
about.
The
concept
is
the
is
the
important
thing
and
how
we
get
there
is
another
matter.
AO
Maybe
the
tech
group
can
help,
but
we
can
think
about
that,
and
I
I
support
the
council
member
barksdale
and
zahn's
approach
on
the
racial
equity
issue.
Okay,.
AP
Well,
I
talk
about
cross
culture
center.
This
one
question
for
council
member
stokes
question
stoke
mentioned
about
tattooing
center
about
our
culture,
arts
and
culture.
This
is,
I
just
want
to
I'm
curious.
You
know,
if
that's
his
understanding,
that's
the
rest
of
the
council
member.
What's
the
understanding,
this
is
not
just
for
arts
and
culture:
it's
not
okay,
so
it's
not
equivalent
to
tatouichi
performing
center
okay.
So
it's
very
different.
So
I
hope
you
know,
council
members,
don't
understand
that.
AO
I
that's
just
an
example:
it's
it's
not.
I
understand
that
culture
is
a
lot
of
things
and
I
think
culture,
arts
and
culture
is
an
important
part
of
the
of
the
of
the
diverse
community.
What
I'm
saying
is,
I
think,
that
the
concept
that
of
a
big
expensive,
very
expensive,
to
run
building
that
is
in
one
central
place
is
not
necessarily
the
best
way
to
do
this.
I
think,
there's
a
lot.
AO
What
we're
looking
at
is
putting
together
a
a
really
a
collective
action
backbone,
and
maybe
there
are
a
number
of
venues
and
a
lot
of
places
to
do
different
things,
and
I've
been
talking.
You
know
talking
to
other
people
in
the
community,
so
I'm
just
saying:
let's
keep
open
the
option
of
how
we
what
we
build
the
the
objective
is
not
to
build
a
big
nice
building
that
you
know
maybe
is
used.
It
doesn't
and
and
really
doesn't
have
the
capacity
to
be
more
nimble
in
working
with
this.
AO
AP
AP
AP
Did
you
want
the
other
one?
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
you
know
just
I.
I
support
councilman
robertson's,
the
restoring
the
fire
training
and
men,
because
I
believe
that
it's
important
it's
a
function
that
keeps
our
public
safety.
You
know,
that's
number
one,
that's
the
function
of
a
city
and
don't
want
to
learn
minnesota
may
not
minimize
it,
and
I
think
that
environmental
stewardship
is
a
good
idea.
I
think
we
need
to
put
more
attention
when
you
mention
a
tag,
I'm
not
quite
clear
what
this
attack
do.
A
A
Mine
now
and
then
we'll
go
around
and
we
can
ask
questions
and
we
can
make
comments.
Okay,
are
you
done
summarizing?
Councilmember
lee?
Yes,
okay,
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
forth
the
idea
of
creating
a
cultural
center
tag
group,
a
technical
advisory
group,
so
that
we
don't
you
know
the
council
does
not
have
a
pre-conceived
notion
of
because
I
can't
talk.
AP
Can
I
ask
you
a
question
to
clarify
yeah?
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
one
question
I
have
is
that
there
are
certain
informational
resources
that
the
staff
may
not
have.
The
tag
may
not
have
that
might
require
a
consultant
such
as
you
know,
yeah
that
can
do
some
of
the
leg
work
get
information
collected.
AP
You
know
it.
This
is,
we
don't
know
okay,
so
I
don't
want
to
narrow
down
that,
after
especially
you
also
mentioned
after
one
year
when
we
get
after
one
year,
you
know
the
tax
whatever
that
is,
they
may
not
have
the
resources
the
know-how
to
get
to.
You
know
explore
the
opportunities
and
possibilities.
AP
A
A
So
those
were
my
budget
asks,
so
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
with
councilmember
barksdale
give
each
person
three
minutes.
I
just
want
to
try
to
get
a
consensus
at
the
end
of
this
conversation.
You
don't
you
know.
If
you
don't
support
somebody's
idea,
you
don't
have
to
tear
it
apart.
You
just
don't
have
to
support
it.
So
we'll
take
support
from
everybody
and
we'll
start
with
councilmember
barksdale
go
ahead.
AJ
Okay,
thank
you
mayor.
I
support
the
50k
to
the
mcrc
muslim
resource
center
in
sophie
away
the
tag
for
the
environmental.
I
don't
remember
the
cost
for
the
the
small
business
so
I'll
come
back
to
that.
One
jared
can
answer
the
council
member
new
house
cancer
that
made
deputy
mayor
could
answer
that
one
cross
cultural
tag
and
for
the
cross-cultural
center
tag
and
for
the
racial
equity
one.
AJ
I
think,
there's
overlap
between
the
two
or
at
least
I
think
the
proposal
from
council
members
on
and
out
night
encompasses
the
100
000
for
the
tech,
equity
ratio,
liquidity
tag
and
then
the
esi
growth
corridor,
business,
zero
and
the
bellevue
college
project.
AJ
A
Okay
and
is
staff,
taking
notes
on
this
that
they
can
read
back
to
us
at
the
end
of
this
conversation.
AK
AP
E
Thank
you
bear
first
customer
barcelona,
40
000,
so
pretty
pretty
modest
requests
there,
twenty
thousand
to
the
bellevue
chamber
and
then
twenty
thousand
to
the
bellevue
downtown
association,
one
time
only
for
beginning
of
of
next
year.
I
think
the
the
need
there
is
very
clear
and
they're
playing
an
integral
role
there
during
this
pandemic.
So
so
thank
you
for
your
support
on
that.
I
was
going
to
say
on
the
top
of
this.
E
Is
these
are
so
many
good
ideas,
and
I
wish
we
really
could
fund
them
all
they're
they're,
all
important
to
their
they're,
all
part
of
what
we've
heard
for
the
most
part
from
from
our
residents
tonight
so
but.
E
The
first
time
tonight
a
little
bit
as
well,
so
I
feel
like
I
need
some
some
additional
information
as
well.
I
think
one
such
as
the
cross-cultural
center
has
been
around
for
quite
some
time
and
it's
great
to
hear
that
so
much
support
for
that,
amongst
my
amongst
my
colleagues.
So
that
would
be
another
one
that
that
I
would
support
tags
yeah.
E
There
are
three
tags,
the
two
that
the
mayor
mentioned,
which
I
believe
was
for
the
cultural
center
and
then
also
for
the
racial
equity
and
then
my
request
regarding
the
environmental
services
initiative,
a
tag
there
again.
That
cost
is
still.
I
know
the
mayor
was
putting
100
000
on
each
of
those,
but
tony
can
follow
up
in
terms
of
what
that
dollar
figure
might
might
look
like
and
then,
of
course,
the
training
admin
for
the
fire
department
and
using
the
bls
fees
there.
E
I
think
that's
a
no-brainer,
and
we
should
move
forward
with
that,
and
I
think
that
was
the
oh
and
then
that-
and
I'm
sorry
I
forget
who
mentioned
the
vision,
zero.
AM
Yes,
thank
you,
so
I
would
say
that
I
support
the
bar
training
admin.
I
support
the
mcrc
sofia
way.
I
want
to
understand
the
difference
between
the
two
proposals
on
the
cultural
center
cross-cultural
center.
One
is
a
tag
and,
and
one
is
actually
advancing
the
cross-cultural
center
to
a
a
preliminary
conceptual
design
which
actually
takes
designers
which
are
not
part
of
the
tag.
So
it's
not
clear
to
me
whether
these
are
two
completely
different
proposals
or
not,
and
so
you
know
to
me.
AM
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
actually
have
experts
that
are
designers
and
architects
that
can
help
bring
the
vision
of
the
need
and
the
programming
into
some
concepts
and
some
cost
estimates
and
identify
some
locations
similar
to
what
we
did
with
the
aquatic
center.
So
if
one
of
the
proposals
is
to
do
that,
I
support
that
and
if,
within
that,
a
tag
exists,
then
that's
fine.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
was
really
clear
on
that.
AM
AM
I
like
the
idea
of
councilmember
barksdale
too
about
if
on
the
senior
policy
professional,
if
there's
already
a
staff
member,
then
it's
not
actually
adding
more
positions.
Maybe
it's
repurposing,
someone
who
has
a
talent
in
this
area
for
us
to
to
work
on.
I
I
do
have
a
question
for
deputy
mayor.
So
on
the
on
the
on
the
support
for
bda
and
chamber,
I
want
to
understand
so
was
this
a
need
that
they
requested?
AM
Because
forty
thousand
dollars
in
five
thousand
dollar
grants
would
be
eight
more
small
businesses
that
we
could
help,
and
so
sometimes
the
organizations
that
are
helping
those
communities
want
to
see
the
dollars
going
to
the
community.
So
I'm
just
checking
in
to
see.
If
was
this
something
that
was
requested
by
bda
in
the
chamber,
or
was
this
something
that
we
saw,
that
they
have
a
budget
gap?
So
I'm
just
trying
to
understand.
E
So,
specifically,
no
the
request
was
not
made.
However,
they
are
facilitating
many
many
businesses,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
from
you,
know,
applying
for
grants
applying
for
loans.
I
think
the
amount
of
work
that
they've
done
in
the
amount
of
money
that
they've
brought
in
and
to
help
those
small
businesses
is
at
this
point,
I'm
not
even
sure
we
could.
We
could
calculate
that
and
clearly
look
at
their
revenues
have
been
hit
quite
dramatically
right,
they're,
not
able
to
have
the
same
kind
of
events,
their
membership
numbers
are
probably
not
coming
in.
E
In
fact,
I
know
that
for
a
fact
you
know
there's
not
as
many
member
memberships
coming
through
that
door.
So
it's
it's!
It's
really
twofold
right.
It's
it's!
It's
the
revenues
dropping
as
well
as
the
outstanding
work
they're
doing
to
help
our
small
businesses
and
our
restaurant
industry
in
bellevue.
AM
AM
Lastly,
I'd
like
to
understand
a
bit
more
about
the
cost
of
these
tags,
because
if,
if
funding
tags
takes
away
from
actually
accomplishing
the
actions
of
esi,
then
I
would
be
concerned
about
making
sure
we're
actually
spending
the
money
doing
the
actions
versus
creating
more
meetings.
We
can
always
have
meetings,
but
actually
having
something
brand
new
that
we
stand
up,
takes
staff
time
that
they
could
be
doing
actually
the
the
actions
and
the
volunteers
will
be
here
whether
we
create
a
formal
tag
or
not.
So
those
were
my
my
questions.
A
Council
members
on
I
want
to
respond
to
your
question
about
the
cultural
center
tag.
It
wouldn't
be
a
design
review
committee
or
anything
like
that.
It
would
be
more
of
a
conceptual
concept
create
creating
committee
that
could
outline
what
the
goals
of
a
cultural
center
would
look
would
be
and
where
the
potential
sites
might
be.
A
That
they'd
have
to
work
with
staff
to
come
up
with
that
and
the
goals
and
the
purpose,
and
what
a
budget
might
look
like
to
maintain
a
cultural
center
and
to
build
a
cultural
center
and
to
get
a
designer
in
so
it's
kind
of
taking
us
to
the
next
steps,
because
there's
so
many
different
ideas
of
even
on
the
council
of
what
a
cultural
center
like
this
would
be.
For
that.
D
You
yeah,
I
know,
I
know
it's
there's
a
lot
of
ideas
flying
around,
so
I
you
know
I
really
can't
go
through
tonight
and
say
what
I
support
and
don't
support,
because
I
don't
understand
some
of
the
concepts
I
mean.
D
Some
of
them
are
easy,
but
I
don't
understand
some
of
the
concepts
I
don't
understand
where
the
funding
is
going
to
come
from,
and
so
until
I
have
that
information,
I
can't
really
just
decide
if
it's
something
I
support
and
if
it's
a
prudent
thing
for
us
to
do
so
I
mean-
and
we
have,
I
think,
there's
at
least
three
tags
and
a
task
force
being
recommended.
D
So
and
you
know
some
new
staffing
or
repurposing
staffing
being
recommended.
I
don't
personally
think
that
we
should
bring
in
new
staff
to
support
the
council
when
we're
laying
off
staff
and
other
departments.
D
I
don't
think
that
would
be
very
responsible,
but
I
certainly
want
to
make
sure
our
council
members
have
what
they
need
to
do
our
to
do
our
jobs
collect
what.
D
That
was,
there
was,
I
think,
a
couple
of
recommendations
for
300
000
for
staffing,
one
of
which
would
be
a
policy
director
level
to
staff
the
council.
I
just,
I
think
that
we,
if
we're,
laying
off
people,
because
it's
a
down
budget
hiring
staff
for
us,
is
not
something
I'm
comfortable.
So
councilmember.
A
D
On
I
mean
I
love
it,
we
need
more
support
staff,
but
I
don't
think
this
is
the
year.
So
so
I
really
can't
comment
because
I
don't
understand
it,
but
I
would
on
a
lot
of
these
ideas.
I
also
don't
understand
the
impact
of
some
of
these
of
moving
money
to
the
to
the
year,
one
or
year
two
from
the
out
years.
If
we
can
cash
flow
that
I
need,
I'm
gonna
need
input
from
tony
on
that
I
came
into
this
meeting
supporting
the
cross
cultural
center.
D
I
like
the
idea
of
having
a
group
of
members
of
the
public,
especially
interested
members
of
the
public,
help
engage
in
that
I'm
wondering
if
that's
something
we
can
task
the
parks
board
to
do
to
do
the
outreach
on
if
they
can
hold
special.
You
know
not
special
meetings
in
terms
of
not
regular
meetings,
but
if
they
can
put
focused
meetings
or
workshops
on
that
might
be
a
way
to
do
that
without
having
to
spend
more
money.
So
I'm
gonna
just
really
need
to
have
information
from
staff.
D
I,
the
bc
project,
I
think,
is
really
important,
but
but
I
we
specifically
cut
that
budget,
because
our
partners
didn't
have
the
money
and
we
repurposed
that
money
that
is
still
absolutely
important
to
the
city
and
as
soon
as
our
partners
are
ready
to
go,
we're
going
to
be
ready
to
go,
and
it
also
might
be
a
good
one
that
we
can
get
grant
funding
for.
D
So
I
don't
know
that
we
need
to
put
money
next
year
for
that
one
we
might
put
some
money
in
the
out
years
if
we
have
it,
but
remember,
unlike
the
federal
government,
our
budget
has
to
be
balanced.
D
So
I
need
to
see
how
it's
all
going
to
balance
and,
like
I
said
the
only
one
that
actually
has
a
funding
mechanism
is
the
fire
admin.
So
I
definitely
want
to
understand
the
racial
equity
task
force
versus
tag.
I
think
that
what
we
can
do
as
a
council-
it's
we
don't
have
enough
time
between
now
and
the
end
of
the
year,
to
figure
out
all
the
details
on
how
we're
going
to
do
this.
D
But
what
we
can
do
is
we
could
say
we
want
to
reserve
a
little
bit
of
money
in
the
council.
Contingency
for
this,
like,
for
example,
I
have
in
my
head
that
we're
going
to
be
using
some
of
the
council
contingency
to
move
the
aquatic
center
forward
after
next
year,
because
it's
funded
through
next
year.
So
if
we
kind
of
have
have
an
agreement
about
okay,
we're
going
to
probably
use
100
or
150
000
for
racial
equity,
we
don't
have
to
decide
before
we
pass
the
budget.
D
What
it
is
because
that
money
is
appropriated
in
council
contingency,
it's
it
doesn't
get
spent
until
this
council
says
it
can
be
spent.
So
we
can
then
say:
staff
bring
back
an
idea
on
how
we
might
use
the
racial
equity.
How
we
might
you
know,
use
it
with
the
diversity
advantage,
how
we
might
do
it
a
scope.
You
know,
give
me
a
plan,
a
schedule
and
a
budget,
and
then
we
can.
When
we
see
that,
then
we
can
make
sure
that
it's
what
we
want
and
then
say
yes
use
the
money.
D
D
I
know
that
staff's
going
to
be
working
like
beavers
in
the
next
two
weeks
to
bring
this
forward,
and
I
hope
that
every
person
who's
advocating
an
amendment
will
work
with
staff
to
to
flush
it
out
to
the
greatest
extent
possible,
so
we
can
vote
on
it,
but
we
don't
have
to
vote
on
it,
the
money's
in
contingency.
So
I
just
wanted
to
reassure
my
colleagues
of
that.
D
You
know
we
don't
have
to
have
all
the
answers
right
now,
but
I
do
need
we
do
need
to
have
the
answers
if
we're
moving
money,
pulling
it
up,
cutting
something
to
fund
something
else
that
we
need
to
have
answers.
It
does
not
require
a
budget
amendment
to
spend
council
contingency.
It
just
requires
the
vote
of
the
council
anytime,
once
the
money's
appropriated,
which
is
in
this
budget,
we
have
two
million
over
seven
years,
so
that
is
all
I
have
to
say.
Thank
you.
I
think.
C
That
I
was
just
wondering
if
it
might
be
useful,
there's
lots
of
questions
that
are
being
asked
about
the
different
proposals.
Right
now,
I'm
wondering
we're
taking
the
questions
down,
I'm
wondering
where
we're
set
to
meet
in
two
weeks
on
the
7th,
if
it
might
make
some
sense
for
us
to
get
answers
to
the
questions
and
get
back
to
the
council
and
have
that
in
the
packet
for
the
the
june.
C
C
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
we'll
need
to
do
is
get
clarity
on
some
of
the
proposals
from
the
council
members,
because
some
of
them
are
actually
similar
to
one
another,
but
there's
different
slightly
different
twists.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
from
the
council
members
that
each
council
member
understands
what
the
other
is
actually
asking
for.
D
Can
I
make
a
call-up
comment
that
I
forgot
to
make
so
we're
going
to
need
to
have,
I
think,
on
december,
7th
we're
going
to
need
to
have
at
least
in
our
desk
packet,
if
not
our
actual
printed
packet,
amendment
language
for
every
idea,
which
would
describe
where
the
money
is
coming
from?
How
it's
you
know
if
there's
going
to
be
a
cut
elsewhere
to
fund
it
etc,
because
otherwise
we
won't
be
able
to
vote
on
it.
Sure.
AO
Well,
as
often
happens,
councilmember
robertson
and
I
have
kind
of
go
down
the
same
path.
Sometimes,
maybe
because
we're
both
lawyers-
I
don't
know
whatever
it
is,
but
well,
I
think
she
said
it
very
well.
I'm
just
thinking
about
this.
We're
throwing
a
lot
of
things
out
here.
Obviously,
we're
not
gonna
vote
on
the
budget
on
the
seventh,
so
this
sets
it
up
to
do
exactly
what
has
been
suggested.
AO
We
need
to
get
the
information
where
it
comes
from
and,
as
we
had
discussed
a
little
bit
earlier
in
terms
of
the
contingency
again,
that's
that's
there.
So
some
of
these
things
don't
really
have
to
be
put
in
the
budget.
This
time
the
concepts
are
what's
important,
so
we
can
work
around
that
and
I
do
think
that
we
can
look
at
the
contingency
in
a
much
shorter
term
than
is
planned
because
we're
in
a
a
very
unusual
situation
and
we
have
things
we
need
to
move
on.
Hopefully,
budgets
will
be
better.
AO
You
know
a
couple
of
years
from
now
and
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
from
that
standpoint.
We
have
some
real.
We
have
some
real
needs
and
opportunities.
Now-
and
I
think
that's
what's
exciting
and
all
a
lot
of
these
ideas
are
all
very,
very
good,
and
so
I
agree:
let's
come
back
get
this
get
questions
answered,
figure
this
out,
figure
where
it's
gonna.
AO
You
know
what
the
proposals
are
where
it
could
come
from,
and
actually
most
of
the
things
we've
been
talking
about
are
things
that
we
probably
should
do
so,
let's
get
get
these
pulled
together,
give
us
a
couple
of
weeks
to
think
about
it
and
staff
to
work
on
it,
and
you
know
talk
about
it
on
the
seventh
and
then
vote
the
next
time,
and
there
is
a
little
possibility
of
spill
over
into
the
next
week.
AO
But
that's
all
we're
going
to
be
working
on
is
getting
the
budget
passed,
and
so
this
may
be
a
lot
easier
than
than
we
were
thinking
if
we
really
look
at
in
terms
of
the
contingency
and
how
some
of
these
things
relate
to
each
other.
So
I'm
I'm
actually
feeling
pretty
positive
about
this.
That
we've
had
some
really
great
ideas
all
put
together
and
I
think
it's
hard
to
knock
any
of
them
out,
but
we
can't
do
that
again.
AO
As
councilmember
robertson
said,
you
know,
this
is
a
lot
of
information
to
process,
and
sometimes
you
can
make
bad
decisions.
If
you
do
it
too
quickly.
So
I
would
suggest
that
what
she
said
we
wrapped
this
up.
We've
got
the
information
and
have
staff
work
on
this
and
then
on.
AO
The
seventh
have
the
discussions
and
maybe
have
it
all,
figured
out
by
then
and
and
move
forward,
but
I
think
it's
a
very,
very
positive
contribution
to
to
the
work
we're
doing,
and
these
these
discussions
will
have
some
very,
I
think,
I
think,
strong
impact,
probably
greater
than
the
cost
of
them,
which
is
good.
AO
AP
I
agree
with
the
council
member
robertson
and
the
only
thing
is
I'm
very
disappointed
that
you
know
we
didn't
get
to
talk
about
all
these
great
wonderful
projects
soon
enough.
You
know,
you
know,
I
mean
we
waited
for
two
weeks
for
us
to
actually
eat
less
and
we
do
need
to
go
through
that,
but
my
disappointment
comes
from
the
cross
culture
center
project.
That
project
has
been
on
the
books
for
four
years
and
it's
being
studied
consultants
studying
we
spend
the
money
and
we're
where
we
are.
AP
You
know,
and
I've
been,
I
think
the
council
I
don't
know
should
be
aware
of
this
and
the
staff
has
been
working
on
it,
and
so
you
know,
I
believe
that
it's
in
the
position
in
a
time
all
the
answers
within
this
you
know,
council,
members
thinking
and
the
staff's
consideration
the
work
has
been
done
has
been
answered.
AP
So
my
expectation-
and
my
hope
was
that
we'll
make
a
decision
that
the
council
contingency
money,
will
be
used
to
make
this
happen
in
2021
2000.
If
you
take
you're
very
quiet,
you
say
quiet
2022.
Hopefully
it
doesn't
you
know,
but
it
depends
on
the
resources
you
know:
how
soon
can
the
staff
get
to
do
it
and
the
last
one
is
again
four
years
later,
then
much
happened.
We
still,
you
know,
are
put
in
the
same
category
as
all
the
other
wealthy
projects,
but
no
matter
how
worthy
how
good
the
party
is.
AP
AH
W
AP
AP
If
we
don't
that's,
why
we've
given
the
time
opportunity
to
to
talk
about
it,
the
value
and
so
if
there's
still
more
misunderstanding,
I'm
a
patient
man,
I'm
willing
to
talk
about
it,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
the
community,
you
know
they're
watching
us
they're
looking
at
us,
I
don't
know
how
long
they
will
wait
and
and.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
this
has
been
a
really
good
conversation
for
me.
I
came
in
with
some
ideas
of
things
I
wanted
that.
I
have
now
changed
because
having
listened
to
staff
and
to
my
colleagues
and
things
I'm
not
going
to
push
for,
but
I
do
really
believe
that
a
cultural
center
tag
is
so
important
right
now
to
combine
all
the
ideas
that
people
in
the
community
have
as
to
what
this
the
purpose
of
this
facility
could
be,
and
I
want,
as
council
member
lee
said,
we've
spent
so
much
time.
A
Thinking
about
this
and
there's
a
real
desire
for
it.
I'd
like
to
move
on
that
and
with
the
racial
equity
tag.
There
are
so
many
things
that
this
group
could
address
so
many
recommendations
and
concerns
that
they
could
inform
us
on
and
recommend
to
us
about
it.
You
know
racial
equity
permeates
every
single
thing
that
the
city
does,
whether
it's
public
safety
or
affordable
housing.
A
I
think
council
members
on
just
listed
off
all
the
different
ways
that
racial
equity
affects
the
work
that
we
do
as
a
city
and
even
with
the
idea
of
a
community
court
in
bellevue
that'd,
be
a
great
thing
for
a
group
to
weigh
in
on
and
see
if
that
would
be
the
best
benefit
to
the
residents
of
bellevue.
A
So
I
I
think
the
time
is
now
to
act
on
that,
I'm
very
in
favor
of
moving
funding
into
creating
a
group
that
can
work
and-
and
you
know
I
mean-
obviously
we
have
to
discuss
the
scope
of
what
our
goals
are.
But
I'd
also
like
to
hear
from
the
group
what
they
think
our
goal.
The
goal
should
be
and
what
the
scope
is,
and
our
council
can
vote
on
that.
A
So
I'm
not
concerned
about
not
having
a
clearly
defined
role
yet
of
a
group
like
that,
I
do
like
councilmember
robertson's
idea
for
restoring
the
fire
trading
admin
using
the
increase
in
the
bls
fee
and
in
terms
of
giving
more
funding
to
human
service
organizations.
I
felt
really
good
after
our
meeting
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
when
we
voted
to
allow
an
extra
funding
cycle
next
year.
A
If
we
happen
to
have
increased
funds,
and
I
think
that
that
is
how
we
can
address
the
needs
of
the
organizations
that
council
member
stokes
mentioned
and
others
that
may
emerge
and
in
terms
of
increased
funding
to
environmental
stewardship.
I
I
really,
you
know
we're
going
to
get
council
quarterly
updates,
which
we
requested
last
our
last
meeting,
I'd
like
to
see
how
that
goes
first
and
and
how
we're
doing
and
get
input
from
the
community
before
we
just
dive
into
creating
another
group.
A
A
The
time
was
yesterday
to
do
that.
I
don't
think
we
can
do
that
fast
enough
for
the
safety
of
the
people
who
do
multimodal
transportation
and
to
support
all
the
new
employees.
Coming
into
bellevue-
and
they
will
be
back
and
I'm
excited
for
that,
but
let's
have
some
great
infrastructure
to
support
them.
A
So
I
think
I
hit
on
all
the
things
that
I
care
about
and
I
think
I
saw
council
member
stokes
had
his
hand
up
at
one
point
and
I'm
going
to
put
this
on
gallery
view.
So
I
can
see
everybody
and
if
you
have
have
a
comment
or
a
question,
I
see
council
members
on
so
I'll.
Let
council
member
stokes
go
ahead.
AO
Yeah
I
wanted
to
address
the
councilman
release
concern
I
I
might,
I
think,
there's
a
consensus
to
to
move
forward
on
this,
and
the
only
question
is
what
what
vehicle
do
we
use
going
next?
So
I
think
that's
the
discussion,
so
I'm
not
I'm
not
worried
about
it.
Councilmember
lee.
I
think
we
all
agree
that
this
needs
to
go
forward.
AO
So
I
again,
I
think
that
we
probably
have
consensus
on
some
of
these
things,
but
picking
this
one
out
or
the
others
out
and
everything's
a
little
complicated
now
and
it's
9
30
everybody's
tired
and
some
of
these,
I
think
we
need
to
think
about.
I
think,
we're
I
believe
we're
pretty
much
in
consensus
on
a
lot
of
these
things.
There's
some
pieces
for
it,
so
I
would
not
suggest
we
take
any
kind
of
votes
tonight.
AO
Up
all
right,
you
seem
you
seem
to
be
thinking.
You
seem
to
be
saying.
Well,
voter
consensus,
that's
that's
all
just
responding
to
you
you're.
I
thought
you
were
pushed
thinking
about.
Maybe
on
some
of
these
things
we
should
agree
tonight.
So
I
that's
all.
That's
fine,
not
at
all.
Okay,
all
right,
let's
yeah.
AM
Yeah
I
was
going
to
say
I
agree
that
we're
not
I.
I
would
not
support
voting
on
any
of
these
tonight.
I
think
that
we
do
have
some
of
these
that
we
need
to
align
because
it
sounds
like
maybe
the
concepts
are
similar,
but
not
exactly
the
same,
so
I
would
say
that
on
the
racial
equity,
one
I'd
welcome
working
with
the
mayor
to
align
jeremy
and
I's
concept
with
what
you
might
be
thinking
about
as
the
incoming
co-vice
chair
of
the
national
league
of
cities,
racial
equity
and
leadership
committee.
AM
We
have
a
lot
of
resources
from
there
to
look.
Do
this
work,
and
I
would
just
really
encourage
my
council
members
that,
if
we're
going
to
center
the
work
with
our
bipoc
community,
then
please
listen
to
us
as
we
are
trying
to
bring
something
to
the
council,
that
we
can
show
the
commitment
and
a
pledge
to
racial
equity
and
then
the
peace
tony.
With
the
funding
on
the
vision,
zero
and
the
rapid
growth
corridor.
I
think
that's
another
area
where
you
know
we
had
chatted
about
from
a
cash
flow
standpoint.
AM
What
was
possible-
and
I
would
say
that,
if
there's
a
way
to
look
at
a
small
haircut
with
some
of
the
other
cip
dollars
to
be
able
to
bring
some
of
these
things
forward
in
the
the
in
the
next
two
years,
I
I
do
believe
that
a
lot
of
these
things
are
urgent
and
they
can't
wait
so
esi
for
every
year
that
goes
by.
We
are
not
reducing
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
sufficiently
to
hit
50
percent
by
2030,
and
I
do
think
that
that
doing
this
work
is
important.
AM
We
want
to
get
the
safety
piece
before
we've
got
25
000
amazonians
in
bellevue,
and
so
many
more
that
are
going
to
be
out
in
walking
biking.
So,
let's
keep
everyone
safe.
I
just
keep
thinking
about
hero
for
zero,
right
or
yes,
and
let's
be
heroes
here
and
keep
our
city
safe.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Any
more
comments
or
hands
raised.
Okay,
my
last
one,
I
I
forgot
to
comment
on
the
idea
of
the
chamber
and
bda
funding.
My
question
was
there?
Are
businesses
as
well?
Can
they
not
apply
for
a
small
business
grant
as
well
to
supplement
all
the
funding
that
they
have
put
out
during
this
crisis
for
their
small
businesses.
F
AR
Hello,
sorry,
I
yes
mary,
they
did
actually
receive
grants
from
the
last
the
last
program
that
the
council
authorized
that
the
grants
to
community
partners,
so
they
both
received
funding
out
of
that,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
them
to
identify
other
opportunities
for
them
to
search
for
grant
money.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
We
are
kind
of
pressed
for
time.
We
have
an
executive
session
at
the
end
of
this
meeting,
so
we
are
going
to
delay
our
briefing
on
the
expansion
of
the
outdoor
and
on-street
dining
areas
in
old
bellevue,
except
that
it's
such
a
good
news
story.
A
I
know
brad
you're,
recommending
that
we
do
it
the
next
meeting
but
jesse
how
much
time
do
you
need
to
do
it
justice?
I
don't
want
to
rush
you.
AR
Thank
you
mayor.
We
would
to
do
the
full
presentation
takes
about
15
to
20
minutes.
A
A
A
So
we
are
going
to
go
into
a
recess
and
we're
not
going
to
come
back
into
public
session
until
after
our
executive
session.
So
we
will
adjourn
after
executive
session,
but
we'll
go
into
recess.
Now.
Council
members,
in
your
last
email
that
you
received
and
on
your
calendar,
invite
there
is
a
separate
zoom
invite
for
the
executive
session,
so
you'll
have
to
exit
this
meeting
and
re-enter
on
the
executive
session
zoom
and
it
is
on
your
calendar
invite
and
I
think,
charming
sent
an
email
also.
So
it's
in
your
emails.
