Thank
you.
Well,
we
have
a
proclamation
tonight
for
domestic
violence
action
month,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house.
Could
you
read
that
entire
proclamation?
Please
certainly.
G
I
urge
all
citizens
to
speak
out
against
domestic
violence
and
support
lifewire's
efforts
to
prevent
and
end
domestic
abuse
in
our
communities
and
increase
public
awareness
of,
and
action
on.
This
issue.
Ending
violence
in
the
home
is
a
national
imperative
that
requires
vigilance
and
dedication
from
every
sector
of
our
society.
We
must
continue
to
stand
alongside
lifewire
advocates,
service
providers,
law
enforcement
and
our
criminal
justice
system,
as
they
hold
offenders
accountable
and
provide
care
and
support
to
survivors
by
our
efforts.
G
We
must
extend
beyond
the
criminal
justice
system
to
include
housing
and
economic
advocacy
for
survivors.
We
must
work
with
young
people
to
stop
violence
before
it
starts.
We
must
also
reach
out
to
friends
and
loved
ones
who
have
suffered
from
domestic
violence,
and
we
must
tell
them
they
are
not
alone.
We
encourage
survivors,
their
loved
ones
and
concerned
citizens
to
learn
more
by
calling
the
lifewire
helpline
at
425-746-1940
or
by
simply
visiting
lifewire.org
this
october.
Let
us
honor
domestic
violence
action
month
by
promoting
peace
in
our
own
families,
homes
and
communities.
B
H
Now
hi,
my
name
is
sue
kingston,
my
husband
tom
ellis,
grew
up
in
bellevue
and
tom,
and
I
have
lived
in
natai
for
over
30
years.
I
am
here
tonight
regarding
the
budget
and
I'm
out
in
implementing
vision
zero
now
here,
because
our
daughter
was
in
a
car
last
november
in
bellevue,
carrie
is
34,
has
down
syndrome
and
lives
with
us.
She
is
very
capable
and
has
very
hard
to
be
independent
and
have
her
own
life.
H
She
has
been
employed
for
13
years
at
a
law
firm
in
bellevue,
where
she
works
part-time.
As
an
office
assistant,
she
has
been
acting
at
bellevue,
youth
theater
since
2006,
and
she
swims
year-round
special
olympic
gold
medals,
freestyle
and
butterfly.
She
does
not
drive.
She
takes
the
bus
everywhere
to
theater
and
to
love
friends.
We
keep
tabs
on
her.
She
calls
when
she
gets
on
a
bus
or
in
a
building
on
monday
november
18th.
She
called
me
at
about
7
p.m.
H
H
A
car
coming
out
of
the
condo
cox
on
the
west
side
of
the
intersection
had
a
green
light
and
turned
left
onto
156
hitting
carrie
carrie
was
knocked
down
in
front
of
the
car.
The
driver
got
out
of
her
car
remembers
her
saying
I
had
a
green
light.
I
had
a
green
light.
The
driver
told
her
she
was
going
to
call
an
ambulance.
Carrie
is
terrified
of
sirens.
H
Her
bus
had
gone
by
as
she
lay
on
the
ground,
and
all
she
wanted
to
do
was
get
on
her
bus.
There
was
a
witness
who
helped
carrie
get
to
the
bus
and
onto
the
bus.
Then
she
called
me
this
time,
rather
panicked.
Mom,
I'm
on
my
bus,
but
I
was
hit
by
a
car
we
picked
her
up
and
took
her
to
overlay's
er.
Her
left
arm
was
just
hanging.
Her
lower
leg
was
bruised
when
asked
what
her
pain
level
was
from
zero.
H
Again,
she
very
calmly
said
way
more
than
ten
carrie
had
a
session
and
her
left
shoulder
was
broken.
The
upper
part
of
her
humerus
was
fractured
completely
through
the
bone,
with
the
top
card
shifted
tilted
and
jammed
back
down
onto
the
rest
of
the
bone.
She
was
in
a
sling
24
7
for
six
and
a
half
weeks,
not
able
to
use
her
arm
at
all.
H
She
slept
propped
up
on
she
needed
help
getting
in
and
out
of
bed
dressing
bathing
and
more
so
she
had
many
many
doctor
appointments
a
couple
of
ct
scans,
more
x-rays
and
physical
therapy.
With
exercises
to
do
at
home,
she
couldn't
work
she
needed
to
be
driven
everywhere.
There
were
bills
to
keep
track
of
and
complications.
Regarding
her
benefits
relating
to
her
disability,
she
was
cleared
to
return
to
work
march.
Second
she's,
currently
working
three
days
a
week.
H
B
Thank
you,
mr
kingston.
That
is
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
speakers
at
this
time.
I
would
ask
if
there
is
any
participants
in
this
meeting
tonight
that
would
like
to
provide
oral
communication
to
the
city
council.
If
so,
please
use
the
raise
hand
function
in
zoom
if
you're
connected
with
the
phone,
please
use
star.
B
A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
city
manager.
We
would
you
like
to
give
us
your
report.
C
C
I'm
highlighting
this
item
because
the
arch
budget
and
world
plan
at
the
direction
of
the
council
were
was
brought
back
under
the
consent
calendar
before
the
council
actually
took
action
to
impose
the
additional
sales
tax
for
affordable
housing
and
mental
and
behavioral
services,
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
for
council
that
an
amendment
to
the
arch
budget
and
work
plan
may
be
possible
in
the
future.
Once
the
council
agrees
on
an
implementation
plan
that
the
staff
brings
back
to
them.
C
So
just
wanted
to
highlight
that,
for
you,
the
first
topic
I,
the
one
topic
I
did
want
to
present
tonight
is
is
the
cultural
conversations
annual
update
and
just
by
way
of
background,
the
cultural
conversations
began
as
an
outreach
program
for
women
designed
to
help
build
community
and
connection
through
its
excuse.
Me.
C
With
some
power
storytelling
and
today,
the
cultural
conversations
is
a
network
of
over
700
participants
who
meet
monthly
to
build
bridges
of
connections
and
understanding
across
bellevue's,
diverse
community.
This
was
last
presented
back
to
the
council
back
in
april
of
2018
and
in
february,
when
we
actually
celebrated
the
10-year
anniversary
of
cultural
conversations.
C
This
update
that
you'll
receive
tonight
is
for
information.
Only
and
joining
us
tonight
is
mike
mccormick,
huntleman
assistant,
director
and
meyer
kyleman
neighborhood
outreach
manager,
both
from
the
community
development
department,
but
that'll
turn
over
to
you
mike.
I
I
We
did
want
to
begin,
however,
by
recognizing
that
much
of
the
success
of
this
program
has
been
largely
done
in
part
to
carol
ross,
who
runs
and
manages
the
program.
Unfortunately,
she's
not
here
tonight,
due
to
a
family
emergency,
but
we
hope
to
represent
the
program
well
in
her
absence
as
city
manager
miyake
mentioned
this
past
year
we
celebrated
our
10-year
anniversary
and
we
began
in
2008
2009
during
the
last
great
recession,
and
this
program
was
initiated
by
our
community.
I
J
I
All
right
we
can
work
for
with
marked,
as
he's
sharing
his
screen
to
close
those
windows.
I
Ten
years
ago,
when
the
program
began,
it
was
a
small
group
of
women
who
wanted
to
meet
together
and
understand
each
other
and
their
their
differences.
They
created
things
like
a
world
cookbook
where
people
share
recipes
from
around
the
world.
I
We've
added
an
evening
of
cultural
conversations
for
men
to
join
in
the
practice,
and
we
host
that
annually
in
february
and
now
in
2020,
we've
had
to
adapt
again
given
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
the
need
to
be
socially
distant
and
so
to
talk
about
this
year
of
cultural
conversations
and
ways
we've
adapted.
I
wanted
to
turn
things
over
to
mark
heilman.
Our
neighborhood
outreach
manager
mark.
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mike
and
good
evening,
council.
I
know
that
many
of
us
have
experienced
and
we
know
that
during
this
time
there
is
just
a
profound
need
to
be
able
to
meet
and
support
one
another.
It's
become
even
more
crucial
over
the
last
seven
months.
So
in
the
recent
covet
impact
survey
of
residents
we
did
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago
we
received
we
received
responses
in
four
different
languages,
which
pointed
to
the
decreased
sense
of
community.
K
K
As
mike
said,
cultural
conversations
has
developed
a
safe
and
welcoming
environment
for
everyone
in
our
changing
community.
It's
a
place
of
learning
and
understanding,
and
that
has
been
accomplished
through
sharing
culture
and
crafts,
enjoying
meals
together
and
then
also
hearing
very
personal,
difficult
and
impactful
topics
from
local
speakers.
In
fact,
this
particular
evening.
This
slide
that
you
see,
I
think
most
of
council
was
there
to
hear
this
young
lady
who
had
moved
here
from
india
a
few
years
ago
and
then
it's
also
become
a
very
safe
place
for
deeper
discussions.
K
Once
again,
due
to
these
efforts,
we
are
seeing
approximately
the
same
number
of
participants
engaging
us
with
us
remotely,
as
had
been
in
person
so
carol,
and
her
team
have
hosted
online
conversations
which
have
centered
around
the
importance
of
communication
and
support,
especially
when
meeting
and
caring
remotely
in
september,
residents
were
welcomed
to
an
online
session
entitled
creating
home
together.
With
this
invitation.
K
Carol
and
her
team
will
continue
to
respond
as
we
learn
about
both
the
needs
of
the
community
and
virtual
methods
to
provide
a
trusted
space
to
connect,
share
and
inspire
the
next
cultural
conversations
is
scheduled
for
this
next
tuesday,
focusing
on
women's
suffrage
and
the
power
of
civic
leadership
globally
and
in
our
region,
so,
as
cultural
conversations
begins
its
11th
and
most
unique
year.
Thank
you,
council,
for
your
continued
support
for
cultural
conversations.
A
That's
great,
thank
you
so
much
I've
been
a
part
of
that,
as
have
all
the
council
members
and
it's
just
a
it's
a
privilege
to
participate
in
those
conversations.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Next
step,
we
have
two
recommendations
for
our
boards
and
commissions
and
we
will
vote
to
approve
or
not
approve
the
recommendations
together,
but
I'll
first
ask
council
member
mark
still
to
introduce
his
recommendation,
for
why
am
I
forgetting
what
your
planning.
J
Awesome.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
recommend
carol
brown
for
the
open
position
on
the
planning
commission
carol.
Brown
has
been
a
longtime
bellevue
resident,
which
has
contributed
to
her
familiarity
with
the
city
and
understanding
about
the
range
of
issues
that
will
impact
planning
and
land
use
in
the
coming
year.
J
Carol
has
a
passion
for
and
actively
engages
in,
the
community
having
completed
the
bellevue
essentials
program
and
helped
create
the
eastgate
community
association
as
an
immigration
attorney
carol
brings
an
awareness
out
of
an
equity
lens
and
an
equity
lends
to
how
planning
impacts.
People
in
our
community,
whose
voices
are
at
times
not
heard
carol,
resides
in
escape
one
of
our
growth
areas,
which
is
not
currently
represented
on
the
planning
commission.
A
L
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
would
like
to
recommend
karen's
stash
for
the
seat
on
the
transportation
commission.
She
is
an
18-year
bellevue
resident.
She
lives
in
enetai.
She
is
an
engineer.
L
One
of
her
jobs
as
a
consultant
is
to
provide
advice
to
bellevue
college,
which
is
one
of
our
great
partners
as
well
she's,
one
of
the
few
people
that
we
interviewed
who
mentions
the
importance
of
safety
in
her
interview
for
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
she's,
very
supportive
of
the
multimodal
system
with
a
safer,
more
integrated
transportation
system.
L
She
also
has
some
really
interesting
experience
in
her
work
in
her
work,
representing
multi-party
working
on
multi-party
and
multi-faceted
projects,
including
with
agencies
such
as
doe,
tribes,
state
federal,
local
government,
and
so
she
understands
that
you
have
to
listen
to
all
sides
and
you
need
to
make
you
know
good
decisions
based
on
the
data
and
listening
to
your
colleagues.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
have
her
serve
on
the
transportation
commission,
and
I
would
recommend
her
for
appointment.
M
A
I'll,
second,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Wonderful!
Thank
you.
Okay!
Next,
we
have
the
consent
calendar.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar?
I.
M
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed,
okay,
great,
so
we're
going
to
launch
into
a
public
hearing-
and
this
is
the
rest
of
this
meeting-
is
going
to
be
jam-packed.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
council
members
to
really
limit
their
comments
and
questions
to
three
minutes
and
anything
that
you
cannot
get
answered
tonight.
We
can
get
answered
in
an
email
later
and
I'm
going
to
ask
deputy
mayor
to
let
people
know
when
their
three
minutes
is
up.
A
C
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
council
member.
As
you
mentioned,
this
is
a
public
hearing
in
action
authorizing
the
release
of
a
restrictive
covenant
and
just
by
way
background
this.
The
release
of
this
covenant
is
being
requested
to
allow
the
operator
of
the
group
home
to
sell
the
property
and
relocate
to
a
new
location,
which
will
then
become
the
subject
to
a
new
restrictive
covenant.
C
This
was
last
in
front
of
council
back
on
september,
8th
of
this
year,
where
you
set
the
date
for
tonight's
public
hearing
following
the
public
hearing
council
will
be
asked
to
take
action
on
a
proposed
resolution
authorizing
the
execution
of
documents
necessary
to
release
the
restricted
covenant,
including
a
covenant,
release
and
transfer
of
agreement
on
joining
us
this
evening
is
our
mcdaniel,
our
real
property
manager
with
the
finance
and
asset
management
department,
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
ira.
For
brief
staff
report.
N
Alpha
would
like
to
move
the
residents
of
this
property
to
a
new
home
in
bellevue
and
then
sell
this
property
to
to
facilitate
this
move.
They
are
asking
the
city
to
release
a
restrictive
covenant
from
the
property.
So
first
a
little
bit
of
history
on
this
in
1976,
the
predecessor
to
alpha,
which
was
residents
east,
entered
into
an
agreement
with
the
city
of
bellevue
to
develop
the
subject
property
into
the
group
home.
N
Under
this
agreement,
bellevue
leased
the
property
from
residents
east
and
bellevue
built
and
owned
the
building,
which
was
in
turn
operated
by
residents
east.
The
construction
of
the
building
was
paid
for
through
grant
funding
from
the
state
with
bellevue,
acting
as
a
pass-through
agency,
then
in
2009,
the
city
of
bellevue,
transferred
ownership
of
the
building
to
alpha
supported
living
services
and
in
exchange
and
in
accordance
with
state
law.
Alpha
put
a
restrictive
covenant
on
the
property
to
ensure
that
its
use
will
align
with
the
original
grant
funding
requirements.
N
The
current
split
level
design
of
the
structure
is
becoming
difficult
to
navigate
for
the
mobility
challenge.
Residents
at
this
home
alpha
has
asked
that
the
city
released
the
covenant,
so
they
can
sell
the
property
and
use
the
funds
to
purchase
other
property
that
would
be
more
accessible
for
their
aging
residents.
N
City
staff
and
alpha
have
drafted
an
agreement
that
provides
for
the
release
of
the
existing
restrictive
covenant.
This
agreement
requires
that
alpha
must
purchase
their
new
property
in
bellevue
and
grant
a
replacement
covenant
on
that
property
prior
to
the
release
of
the
old
covenant
and
tonight's
public
hearing
is
to
provide
the
public
an
opportunity
to
comment
on
this
release
and
following
the
public
hearing,
staff
will
request
council's
action
on
the
proposed
resolution
authorizing
the
execution
of
documents
necessary
to
release
the
restrictive
covenant.
This
ends
our
staff
report.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
a
motion
to
open
the
public,
yeah
no
sorry
hold
on,
I'm
forgetting
when
questions
from
let's
do
the
public
hearing
first,
is
there
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing?
I
move.
B
Thank
you.
There
are
no
pre-registered
speakers
for
the
public
hearing.
So
at
this
point
I
would
ask
if
there
are
any
members
participating
in
the
meeting
that
would
like
to
comment
at
this
public
hearing.
If
so,
please
use
the
raise
hand
function
in
zoom
or
star
9.
If
you're
connected
with
a
phone.
D
C
A
A
M
My
question
is:
thank
you.
My
question
is:
do
we
does
the
city
have
any
interest
in
making
sure
that
our
services
provided
and
continued
so
that
we
can
have
yeah
again
the
knowledge
and
know
whether
it's
yeah
going
to
be
appropriately
continue
on
that,
and
so.
N
Yes,
that's
right
and
that's
what's
happening,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
I
understand
and
address
your
question.
So
is
the
is
there
the
restrictive
covenant
restricts
the
use
of
their
new
property
to
the
purposes
of
providing
social
services,
which
will
continue
the
the
use
in
bellevue?
That
is
the
the
intent
of
the
agreement
and
the
intent
of
alpha.
G
D
A
C
Yeah,
can
you
okay?
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
was
indeed
the
first
matter
in
front
of
you
is
on
micro
mobility,
which
is
the
regulation
of
motorized
foot
scooters.
C
Electric
scooters
have
become
popular
globally
since
2018,
and
the
business
community
has
recently
expressed
an
interest
in
considering
a
shared
electric
scooter
pilot,
similar
to
what
we're
seeing
in
some
of
our
pure
cities,
but
local
co-functionally
prevents
their
legal
use
as
a
personal
transportation
mode
in
bellevue.
C
C
Today,
before
the
after
the
presentation,
the
staff
will
be
asking
the
council
to
consider
directing
to
the
transportation
commission
the
commission
to
work
with
the
staff
to
review
and
recommend
revisions
to
the
city
code
regulating
the
use
of
motorized
foot
scooters
in
bellevue
joining
us
this
evening
is
andrew
singalonquis
director
and
andreas
piller
associate
planner
both
of
the
transportation
department.
With
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
over
to
turn
it
over
to
andrew
for
in
this
presentation,.
O
Okay,
well
thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
the
city
council.
This
is
about
the
topic
of
electronic
scooters.
There's
been
some
interest
around
this
topic
and
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
that
we
need
to
sort
through.
So
we're
recommending
that
the
council
refer
this
item
to
the
transportation
commission,
who
can
research
issues
in
a
public
setting?
We
briefed
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
received
some
good
feedback
from
him.
O
He
was
the
only
one
that
took
us
up
on
the
offer
for
a
briefing
and
we
are
hoping
that
the
rest
of
the
council
raises
issues
tonight
and
concerns
so
that
they
can
be
more
fully
vetted
in
front
of
the
transportation
commission
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
the
presentation
over
to
andreas
piller,
who
is
an
associate
planner
in
the
transportation
department.
Andreas.
P
Thank
you,
andrew
and
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
noonhouse
and
council
members.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
with
you
this
evening
remotely.
I
hope
you
all
can
see
my
screen.
P
If
you
have
any
trouble,
please
let
me
know,
as
as
was
mentioned,
the
the
direction
that
we
are
are
seeking
from
you
all
this
evening
is
that
you
all
consider
directing
the
transportation
commission
to
work
with
staff
to
review
and,
as
deemed
appropriate,
recommended
revisions
to
city
code
regulating
the
use
of
motorized
foot
scooters
in
bellevue.
P
The
agenda
for
this
evening
is
broken
into
three
parts.
First,
looking
at
what
the
current
regulations
at
the
state
and
local
level
entail
followed
by
a
brief
history
on
how
the
local
regulations
came
to
be
and
and
the
context
for
the
conversation
this
evening
and
then
some
considerations
that
we
will,
we
will
be
looking
into
if
we
receive
the
direction
to
work
with
the
transportation
commission
on
on
potentially
modifying
existing
local
code
so
beginning
with
the
current
regulations.
P
I'm
beginning
here
with
the
definition.
According
to
the
revised
code
of
washington,
the
the
state
code
pertaining
to
motorized
foot
scooters,
which
specifies
the
number
of
wheels
and
a
couple
of
basic
factors
of
the
the
form
factor
of
the
or
the
the
elements
that
make
up
a
motorized
foot
scooter.
P
P
One
area
of
distinction
between
the
two
is
that
our
local
code
specifies
the
size
of
the
wheels
that
that
constitute
a
foot
scooter
and
the
state
code
no
longer
does
over
the
next
few
slides
here.
What
I'm
going
to
show
is
just
a
quick
run
through
of
where,
when
by
whom
and
how
motorized
foot
scooters
may
be
operated
and
the
distinctions
between
the
state
and
local
ordinances,
so
the
first
column
on
the
on
the
table
for
anyone
who
isn't
able
to
see
it,
it
speaks
to
the
regulation
type.
P
The
second
is
the
the
state
regulation
of
that
and
the
third
is
the
local
regulation
and
I
won't
touch
on
every
single
one
of
these.
But
just
highlight
a
few
of
note,
so
the
first
one
being
use
on
roadways.
The
state
code
allows
their
universal
use
on
roadways
to
the
same
extent
as
bicycles,
whereas
the
local
code
specifies
that
they're
only
allowed
on
roadways
that
have
a
speed
limit
of
25
miles
per
hour
or
less.
P
In
terms
of
when
they
may
be
operated,
the
state
code
allows
their
use
day
and
night
so
long
as
they
have
the
approved
reflectors
on
the
device.
Local
code,
however,
restricts
their
use
from
after
dusk
and
before
dawn
so
effectively
not
allowed
at
night,
regardless
of
the
equipment
that
they
have
on
them.
P
And
then
how
they
may
be
operated.
It's
just
worth
noting
that
at
the
state
level,
a
driver's
license
is
not
required
for
their
use,
and
this
isn't
something
that
local
code
can
or
does
weigh
in
on.
But
helmet
requirement
for
their
use
is
something
that
the
local
code
requires
that
state
and
state
code
does
not,
and
so
all
users
of
motorized
foot
scooters
are
required
by
local
code
to
wear
a
helmet
when
riding
and
finally
the
who
may
operate
them
at
the
state
level.
P
The
most
consequential
is
that
they
are
functionally
illegal
to
use
as
a
mode
of
transportation
and
that's
based
on
their
restriction
of
being
used
both
on
sidewalks
and
their
restriction
of
being
used
on
any
streets
with
speed
limits
over
25
miles
per
hour.
As
this
effectively
makes
it
illegal
to
ride
them
on
most
of
the
city's
arterial
roadways.
So
to
get
to
most
of
its
commercial
centers.
P
P
This
code
contributes
to
a
regional
patchwork
of
laws
that
that
are
not
necessarily
intuitive
to
the
public,
because
the
the
restrictions
that
are
in
place
in
bellevue
may
or
may
not
align
with
our
neighbors
on
the
east
side
and
across
the
lake
in
seattle,
and
so
this
this
makes
it
challenging
for
for
users
to
know
what
they
can
and
can't
do
where
they
may
and
may
not
ride
and
so
forth.
P
And
then
this
distinction
between
the
local
and
state
law
definition
of
what
constitutes
a
motorized
foot
scooter
leads
to
some
regulatory
ambiguities.
Some
devices
fall
in
between
the
state's
definition
and
ours,
which
may
lead
some
shared
micro
mobility
operators
to
be
uncertain
of
exactly
where
their
device
falls
in
terms
of
regulation
in
our
city.
P
So
a
little
bit
of
history
about
how
we
got
to
this
point
today.
The
state
authorized
local
regulation
of
motorized
foot
scooters
by
local
jurisdictions
back
in
2004
and
shortly
thereafter,
a
number
of
our
neighbor
jurisdictions,
including
seattle,
kirkland
and
issaquah
all
adopted
their
own
local
ordinances.
P
P
The
council
at
the
time,
requested
a
briefing
on
scooters
from
staff
and
ultimately
directed
police
to
work
with
the
youth
link
board.
Who
then
came
back
to
council
on
a
couple
of
occasions,
ultimately
in
2007,
with
a
draft
ordinance
that
the
council
adopted,
which
is
when
the
current
code
was,
was
put
in
place,
and
this
issue
wasn't
really.
P
This
wasn't
really
an
issue
in
the
in
the
subsequent
years,
wasn't
brought
before
council,
and
there
was
no
no
major
issue
related
to
foot
scooters
for
about
10
years,
but
in
2018,
shared
e-scooters
were
deployed
by
private
companies
in
cities
around
the
world
and
really
became
a
global
phenomenon.
They
became
hugely
popular
and
and
drove
many
cities
to
reconsider
their
ordinances
and
how
they
may
or
may
not
allow
or
regulate
these
devices
in
their
cities.
P
P
So
the
local
regulation
in
bellevue
in
2017
2007
excuse
me,
was
adopted
to
respond
to
community
safety
and
noise
concerns
that
council
members
had
heard
from
from
members
of
of
the
bellevue
community
and
the
noise
in
particular.
It's
worth
noting
was
related
to
the
types
of
vehicles
that
were
popular
at
that
time,
which
were
almost
exclusively
gas
powered
and
they
were
the
noise
they
created
was
compared
to
leaf
blowers
or
or
outboard
motor
boats,
so
a
very
different
type
of
of
device
and
impact
to
the
community
than
the
electric
version
that
are
ubiquitous
today.
P
So
a
few
considerations
that
are
worth
highlighting
and
if,
if
we
do
receive
the
direction
to
work
with
the
transportation
commission
on
on
reviewing
and
considering
recommendations
to
to
this
existing
code,
we
can
look
to
existing
policy
priorities,
foremost
among
them
being
safety
as
a
city
with
a
vision,
zero
ordinance
and
forthcoming
action
plan.
P
The
safety
is
a
is
a
key
concern
of
ours
and
and
one
that
most
cities,
if
not
all
cities
put
front
and
center
as
they
consider
the
introduction
of
e-scooters
and
the
regulation
of
them
in
their
communities,
the
potential
benefits
or
any
impacts
to
sustainability.
P
P
Consistency
is,
is
a
notable
one
as
well.
Both
consistency
with
neighboring
jurisdictions
to
the
extent
that
it's
reasonable,
but
also
just
consistency
across
device
types,
is
it
is
it?
Are
the
current
regulations
sufficiently
consistent
with
other
similar
devices
to
to
make
it
intuitive
for
people
to
understand?
Where
and
how
they
can
can
ride
and,
and
then
engagement,
you
know
we
certainly
would
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
engaging
with
local
stakeholders
in
determining
how
this
code
would
be
revised.
What
concerns
they
have.
P
This
would
be
comparable
to
how
we
undertook
planning
for
the
bike,
share
pilot,
engaging
local
community
stakeholders
and
determining
what
are
their
interests
or
concerns,
and
how
can
we
make
sure
that
we
address
them
and
I
have
parking
asterisk
there
at
the
bottom,
because
that
that
consideration,
really
it's
certainly
an
important
one
and
one
that
many
communities
grapple
with
from
for
the
shared
e-scooter
services,
the
asterisk
being
because
it
really
pertains
specifically
to
the
shared
devices.
Many
of
these
others
relate
both
to
private
users
and
private
owners
of
their
own
e-scooters.
P
That
one
really
specifically
relates
to
shared
services,
and
so
this
is
where
we
can
potentially
also
consider
differentiation.
So
if
there's
an
interest
in
and
it's
regarded
as
appropriate
to
modify
where
and
how
people
may
use
these
scooters.
But
there
are
concerns
about
how
shared
scooter
services
may
be
deployed
and
used.
There
could
be
differentiation
in
terms
of
the
code
or
regulation
for
private
owners
of
their
own
personally
scooters
versus
the
shared
scooters.
P
P
The
chart
at
the
bottom
is
from
sae
international,
which
is
a
transportation
standards
organization
that
has
developed
this,
this
matrix
of
different
types
of
micro
mobility
vehicles,
and
we
could
point
towards
their
definitions
for
different
types,
to
the
extent
that
they
are
consistent
with
state
code
and
and
target
specific
regulations
to
these
different
types
as
as
deemed
appropriate
and
also
by
geography.
P
It
may
again
be
appropriate
for
personal
users
of
their
own
scooters
to
ride
wherever
they
choose,
but
there
could
be
restrictions
either
through
technology
or
through
regulation
to
not
necessarily
allow
shared
fleets
of
e-scooters
to
be
used
in
the
same
way
everywhere.
One
example
may
be
the
use
of
speed,
limited
zones
whereby
users
can't
travel
above
a
very
low
rate
of
speed,
essentially
discouraging
their
use
in
certain
areas
without
outright
restricting
that
use
in
those
areas.
A
Well
great,
thank
you
very
much,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
on
each
of
you
in
the
following
order:
council,
member
robertson,
council,
members
on
council
member
lee
barksdale,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house,
councilmember
stokes
and
then
myself
we'll
limit
our
comments
and
questions
to
three
minutes
and
we'll
start
with
council
member
robertson,
because
she
is
a
liaison
to
the
transportation
commission.
L
Thank
you
mayor,
so
first
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
andrew
and
andrew,
so
number
one.
I
am
absolutely
supportive
of
sending
this
to
the
transportation
commission
to
study.
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
interesting
aspects
that
need
to
be
sussed
out
to
decide
whether
one
we
should
change
the
code
with
regard
to
personal
use,
but
also
whether
we
should
engage
and
have
the
e
scooter
e-scooter
use
like
we
did
with
the
lime
bikes.
L
L
Some
of
the
injuries
are
very
very
severe
injuries
and
I
worry
about
protecting
the
people
that
have
them,
but
also
if
we
have
a
on-demand
use
generally,
we
require
the
company
to
indemnify
and
defend
us
from
any
liability,
but
then
the
companies
require
the
users
to
waive
any
damages
against
them
in
order
to
use
these,
and
we
could
have
people
being
severely
injured
on
our
streets
and
have
no
way
to
recover
even
their
medical
costs.
So
if
they
are
not
safe
in
general,
we
need
to
know
that
so
one.
L
I
don't
want
to
know
about
helmets
two.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are.
You
know,
there's
the
riding
on
the
streets
and
in
bike
lanes
and
then
there's
riding
on
sidewalks.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
as
people
are
using
the
these
they're
they're
safe
for
the
riders
but
they're,
also
safe
for
the
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
who
might
be
sharing
space
with
them.
The
regulations
on
sidewalk
speed
is
you
can
only
go
as
fast
as
people
are
walking,
but
I've
seen
bicyclists
flash
past
me
on
sidewalks,
not
infrequently.
L
So.
Finally,
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we
we
I
want
to
look
at
the
different
types.
I
want
to
look
at
the
e
as
far
as
the
e
scooters,
wherever
they're
parked
and
left.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
blocking
ada
accessibility
on
sidewalks.
We
did
see
that
some
with
the
e-bikes
we
might
want
to
think
about
having
a
maximum
speed
for
the
shared
scooters
and
I'd
like
to
have
the
transportation
commission
compare
the
different
types.
L
I've
heard
that
the
seating
kind
is
safer
if
there's
a
safer
version
that'd
be
great
and
how
we
might
figure
out
how
to
get
people
to
use
helmets
when
they're
in
the
shared
scooter.
L
So
I
think
those
are
all
things
that
they
should
study
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
watching
them,
go
through
it
and
being
part
of
that
and
bringing
it
back
to
council
at
some
future
point.
I'm
really
happy
to
see
this
micro
mobility
is
going
to
be
part
of
how
people
get
around
in
the
future.
So
thanks.
E
E
I
know
you
listed
redmond
as
one
of
the
neighboring
cities
that
has
this
as
a
pilot,
so
I'm
curious
about
right,
issaquah,
kirkland,
renton,
so
really
having
a
holistic
view.
I
think,
is
really
important,
because
I
think
it
would
be
really
confusing
if
you
can
be
a
14
year
old
and
ride
a
scooter
in
bellevue,
but
you
have
to
be
16
to
be
riding
in
in
kirkland,
so
to
the
degree
we
can
partner
with
our
neighboring
cities.
I
think
that's
really
important
and
then
I
agree
about
the
maximum
speed.
E
So
it
looks
like
at
the
state
level
is
15
miles
an
hour.
So
really
understanding
do
the
machines
have
an
organic
maximum.
It
can
ride
in.
So
it's
not
a
concern
or
or
what
can
we
do
there,
and
then
there
is
one
that
I
was
a
little
confused.
Well
truth,
I
will
make
one
comment
in
that
question.
My
comment
is
I
like
the
list
of
priority
that
were
listed,
because
I
think
it
is
very
complete
about
safety
and
consistency
and
equity.
E
So
I
appreciate
the
thoroughness
of
that
list
and
then
my
last,
my
one,
that
is
a
question,
is
you
mentioned
the
the
state
regulations
versus
the
city,
but
it
sounded
like
when
you
looked
at
the
age
we
were
saying
that
we
can
actually
have
a
more
relaxed
regulation
than
the
state,
which
is
normally
not
the
case,
so
I'm
I
just
was
curious
about
that.
If
there's
no
time
to
comment,
maybe
you
can
just
send
me
an
email.
O
P
M
Thank
you.
I'm
waiting,
yeah,
the
city
council
makes
policies.
We
look
at.
You
know
what
the
things
that
we
want
and
transportation
is.
A
system
is
very
important
to
us
and
we're
looking
at
all
the
different
ways
to
do
it,
especially
when
you
talk
about
multimodal
and
those
connect
with
a
lot
of
things,
vision,
zero
and
so
on,
and
so
on
and
a
lot
of
technology
that's
been
developed,
and
so
it
is
time
that
we
do
need
to
look
at
this.
You
know
the
er.
M
What
we
call
their
micro
model,
mobility
and
so
on
scooter.
I
think
it
makes
sense.
So
I
support
that
and
we
are
not
transportation
commission,
you
know,
so
I'm
not
going
to
spend
any
time
talking
about
what
I
think
what
I
know.
I
know
I
know
because
somewhat
this
and
that
I
probably
know
a
lot
than
others
and
maybe
know
a
lot
less
than
others.
So
I
hope
this
is
all
going
to
come
out.
I
think
the
staff
have
presented
the
list
of
things,
but
it
doesn't
mean
it's
all-inclusive.
M
No,
it's
just
the
beginning
of
the
conversation,
so
it's
our
council's
suggestion.
So
I
would
you
know,
go
with
the
transportation
commission
and
let
them
look
at
it
with
the
council's
direction.
And
hopefully
you
know
they
will
come
up
with
all
the
questions
that
we
want
asked
along
the
way
we'll
be
able
to
ask
more
questions
together
with
the
staff,
but
it's
just
to
be
sure
it's
not
inclusive
or
inclusive.
It's
now
all
exclusive,
and
it's
just
you
know
looking
at
this
as
a
good
way
to
look
at
it.
M
A
Thank
you,
council
member
bark,
steele.
J
All
right,
thank
you
mayor,
so
I
also
support
the
use
of
these
scooters
and
sending
this
to
the
transportation
commission
for
for
study.
I
actually
would
also
appreciate
getting
input
from
riders
about
how
they
expect
to
use
the
e-scooters.
I
actually
bought
an
e-scooter.
J
I
just
didn't
get
it
in
time,
but
because
I
expected
to
ride,
I
wanted
to
ride
it
from
work
to
the
city
hall
for
council
meetings,
and
so
I
think
it's
important
to
take
into
consideration
those
use
cases
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
whatever
policy
we
come
up
with
is
takes
that
into
account.
G
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
andrew
and
andreas
first
of
all
great
overview
and
presentation
there,
and
I
too,
I'm
supportive
of
moving
this
and
directing
the
transportation
commission
to
dive
deeper
into
this
into
this
issue
about
micro
mobility.
A
lot
of
great
comments
already
from
from
from
my
from
my
colleagues
as
I
shared
with
you
during
our
briefing,
I
think
one
of
the
great
things
about
where
we're
at
with
this
is
that
we've
kind
of
already
been
through
this
process
with
the
e-bike
share.
G
So
I
think
that
almost
sets
us
a
a
path.
If
you
will
to
follow
some,
I
think
very
smart
and
very
thoughtful
things
that
went
into
that
share
program
and
taking
into
consideration
of
a
lot
of
the
same
issues
that
you're
hearing
this
this
evening
when
it
comes
to
safety
vision,
zero
when
it
comes
to
the
aesthetics
to
the
parking
et
cetera
et
cetera,
I
think
those
a
lot
of
those
same
issues.
G
What
will
will
come
up
and
I
think
you
can
address
that
in
a
thoughtful
manner.
As
some
of
my
colleagues
have
mentioned,
I
think
it
is
important
to
look
at
some
of
the
the
other
regional
cities
in
our
area
and
how
they've
rolled
out
their
bike
share
or
bike
share
pilot.
G
I
think
it
also
would
be
smart
to
look
at
other
cities-
those
as
well,
most
notably
maybe
dallas
san,
diego
los
angeles
and
others,
and
and
and
see
how
they
rule
the
doubt,
because
there
have
been
you
know
some
really
great
data
coming
out
of
those
cities
really
high
usage,
we'd
love
to
know
how
large
employers
you
know,
have
used
them
or
encourage
their
employees
to
use
them,
especially
as
it
relates
to
that
last
mile,
which
is
something
that
we're
going
to
be.
G
You
know
very
focused
on
as
we
get
light
rail
in
2023
here
in
bellevue.
How
can
we
best
make
it
easiest
for
these
employees
to
get
to
light
rail
or
another
major
transit
station
in
order
to
get
home
or
to
get
to
work?
So
I
think
there's
some
things
we
can.
We
can
learn
from
that,
but
that
outreach
to
large
employers
in
bellevue.
G
That
will
also
be
something
to
really
consider
and
to
think
about,
but
yeah
I'm
excited
about
this
moving
forward,
and
you
know
all
those
safety
and
aesthetic
issues
aside
and
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good
stuff
here
for
the
transportation
commission
to
to
look
at
and
and
to
work
on
and
to
get
more
consistent
with
what
the
state
is
defining
as
as
e-scooter
usage.
So
I
look
forward
to
this
coming
back
and
look
forward
to
hearing
what
the
transportation
commission
comes
up
with.
So
thank
you.
D
Yeah,
I
think
I'm
all
in
favor
of
it
it's
I
think
we
talked
about
all
the
obvious
things
and
it's
again,
we've
gone
through
this
process
before
it's
it's
set
up
very
well.
I
really
appreciate
the
effort
by
staff
to
put
this
together
and
it's
exciting
to
see
this
move
forward.
D
I
was
a
couple
years
ago
in
santa
monica
we
had
a
good
experience
of
watching
this
and
see
what
happens
and
how
it
works,
and
it's
just
one
more
step
in
providing
more
multimodal
transportation,
and
I
have
full
confidence
in
the
planning
I
mean
in
the
transportation
commission
and
that's
why
we
have
commissions
to
really
go
over
this
ask
the
question
through
the
study:
do
the
work
and
come
back
with
recommendations
and
have
you
know
check-ins
on
this
and
it's
very
exciting.
D
The
only
question
I
have
is:
I
assume
that
one
of
the
things
that
we'll
be
looking
at
is
where
we
have
leeway
with
the
state
law,
and
sometimes
we
have
to
mesh
those
things
in
there
and
and
I'm
sure,
they'll
bring
those
back
when
we
have
those
questions,
but
I'm
excited
about.
I
think
it's
it's
very
heartening
to
hear
that
the
business
community
is
also
interested
in
this
as
well.
So
you
know
it's
a
win-win
at
this
point.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
great,
so
I
too
do
support
moving
this
to
the
transportation
commission.
I
have
a
few
things.
I'd
like
them
to
consider
when
they
receive
it.
One
is,
I
hope
they
do
a
field
trip
and
everybody
experiences
the
scooter,
because
council
members
on
said
it's,
you
know
unless
you've
tried
it
it's
hard
to
appreciate
the
value
or
what
you
need
to
be
careful
of
with
them.
I'd
also
like
them
to
consider
limiting
where
the
scooters
go,
the
shared
scooters
go.
A
Consider
should
we
limit
it
to
where
we
have
the
bicycle
infrastructure,
because
there
are
some
parts
of
the
city
that
would
be
really
conducive
to
safe,
scooter,
riding
and
there's
other
parts
of
the
city.
That
really
are
not
because
we
don't
have
our
bicycle
infrastructure
in
yet
so
either
thinking
of
letting
them
ride
on
sidewalks
in
those
areas
or
just
limiting
them
to
where
we
have
the
infrastructure
and
then
I'd
like
them
to
consider
whether
we
should
do
any
kind
of
registration
for
people.
A
If
there's
some
sort
of
a
a
knowledge
test,
they
have
to
take
and
be
trained
on
on
the
rules
of
scooter
riding
in
bellevue,
so
they
can
get
a
permit
or
something
to
operate.
One
just
to
consider
that-
and
I
do
like
councilmember
barksdale's
comment
on
asking
the
people
who
are
going
to
be
using
the
scooters
what
they'd
like
to
use
them
for.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
let's
go
ahead
and
take
a
vote
on
this
deputy
mayor.
Do
you
have
a
motion.
G
C
Overall,
the
proposed
budget
in
front
of
you
totals
1.7
billion
dollars
and
balances
values,
history
of
fiscal
responsibility
with
the
needs
of
residences
and
businesses.
During
this
very
difficult
time,
this
budget
is
definitely
not
a
status
quo
budget
and
has
been
adjusted
based
on
revenue
projections
reflecting
the
impacts
of
covet
and
while
core
services
have
been
preserved,
necessary
service
level
reductions
are
included,
and
before
I
touch
on
some
of
those,
I
first
wanted
to
emphasize
about.
C
Overall,
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
that,
in
terms
of
the
utilities,
there
is
a
modest
utility
rate
increase,
that's
needed,
which
is
driven
primarily
by
wholesale
outside
cost
and
also
just
as
the
city's
development
services
raised
to
account
for
growth
and
meet
its
cost
recovery
objectives.
C
We
also
cut
back
on
maintenance
in
some
areas,
but
specifically
not
in
areas
that
would
impact
the
safety
of
our
citizens
or
the
long-term
structural
integrity
of
our
acid,
and
these
reductions
will
largely
move
the
city
towards
more
of
a
complaint
based
response
in
areas
versus
a
more
proactive
response
in
the
areas
such
as
tree
removal
and
not
safety.
Sidewalk
repairs
you'll
also
likely
see
some
aesthetics
impacts
as
well,
such
as
the
brownouts
of
some
of
the
blondes
and
lesser
frequency
of
mowing
and
weeding
the
budget
also,
as
promised
to
the
council.
C
During
the
last
budget.
Discussions
in
response
to
general
fund
structural
budget
deficit
discussion
council
incorporates
many
cost
containment
measures
that
reduces
the
growth
expenditures,
most
notably
in
the
area
of
health
care
costs.
It
was
our
commitment
to
you
when
we
raised
this
issue
with
you.
The
budget
also
eliminates
several
vacant
positions
and
a
minimal
number
of
field
positions.
C
Two,
it
uses
some
one-time
measures
to
balance
the
budget.
For
example,
we
use
some
of
our
reserves
to
help
balance
the
budget,
but
it
continues
to
meet
our
general
fund
reserve
level
at
15
pursuant
to
council
policy,
as
well
as
the
gfoa's
best
management
practices,
and
to
keep
core
services
functioning
in
the
general
fund.
This
budget
proposes
to
allocate
temporarily
for
tiers
a
greater
portion
of
sales
tax
to
the
general
fund
from
the
cip
and
the
budget
also
delays
the
opening
of
fire
station
10
for
six
months.
Three.
C
C
But,
having
said
all
that
the
the
preliminary
budget
in
front
of
you
this
evening
can
best
be
described
as
a
bridge
budget
it
in
that
it
uses
one
time
and
a
number
of
short-term
measures
to
balance
the
budget
until
the
next
biennium.
In
essence,
this
bridge
budget
accomplishes
two
objectives
for
us.
C
It
allows
us
to
plan,
and
course
correct
once
we
know
more
about
how
covett
will
impact
our
finances
longer
term,
and
it
allows
us
some
time
to
work
in
earns
next
year
to
work
on
the
structural
imbalance
of
revenues
failing
to
keep
pace
with
inflationary
costs,
especially
in
light
of
this
ongoing
growth
coming
at
us.
You
know,
despite
all
these
challenges,
I
am
quite
confident,
though,
that
the
city
remains
committed
to
delivering
high
quality
services
to
our
public
tonight
begins
that
budget
disc
conversation
with
the
council.
C
The
staff
is
very
eager
to
take
questions
and
suggestions
from
the
council
for
how
we
can
best
focus
on
coming
conversations
over
the
next
few
weeks.
You
know
before
I
turn
it
over
to
tony
call
our
finance
director
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
personally
thank
the
city's
leadership
team,
tony
call
and
her
team,
who
pulled
all
this
together,
employ
and
all
the
employees
of
the
city
for
their
dedication
and
hard
work
and
getting
us
here
tonight.
C
F
Thank
you
city,
man
from
yaki,
mayor,
deputy
mayor
and
council
members.
It's
nice
to
be
back
here
in
front
of
you
this
evening.
Thank
you
for
having
us
before
I
move
on.
I
need
to
echo
city
managers
thank
yous
first
to
the
lt
they've
done
a
phenomenal
job,
helping
bring
forward
a
budget
balance,
a
balanced
budget
for
you
today
and
to
the
budget
office
and
all
the
other
employees
who
have
worked
hard
to
prepare
this
for
you.
My
thanks
go
out
to
them
as
well.
F
So
tonight
is
the
first
of
six
briefings
to
the
council
on
the
budget.
Our
goal
this
evening
is
to
kind
of
present
with
you
a
broad
overview
of
what's
in
the
budget
having
six
times
in
front
of
you
will
give
us
more
time
to
get
to
the
details
tonight.
We're
gonna
focus
in
that
broad
space.
It
is
information
only
a
couple
of
housekeeping
issues
as
we
get
started.
F
Since
we
will
be
in
front
of
you
every
week
for
the
next
six
weeks,
we
will
be
establishing
a
memory
bank
that
will
come
back
in
your
packet
weekly,
so
either
the
questions
you
ask
well,
if
they're
factual,
easy
to
answer,
we'll
put
them
in
the
memory
packet
and
be
attached
to
your
packet.
If
they
need
more
explanation
or
they
need
presentation,
then
we'll
use
some
of
the
time
in
the
next
six
weeks
to
bring
back
full
presentations
to
you.
F
So
as
we
get
started,
there's
a
path
forward
to
getting
questions
answered
a
couple
of
different
ways.
So
our
agenda
this
evening,
our
agenda
this
evening.
We
will
first
spend
a
minute
and
talk
about
the
calendar
and
all
the
actions
it
will
take
to
finally
adopt
this
budget
in
december
and
we'll
spend
a
little
bit
of
time.
Looking
at
an
overview
of
the
total
budget,
dig
a
little
deeper
into
the
general
fund
overview
and
some
major
adjust
adjustments.
F
Both
director,
singhalakis
and
director
oshiosaki
are
here
this
evening
to
help
talk
a
little
bit
about
kind
of
the
impacts
the
community
might
see.
So
we'll
have
them
with
us
this
evening.
We'll
finish
our
overview
of
the
capital
investment
program
and
then
repeat
kind
of
the
upcoming
presentations
that
we
envision
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
F
So
here's
a
view
of
our
council
calendar.
It
started
back
in
june
at
the
budget
workshop.
We've
had
two
public
hearings
for
this
evening
on
october
20
on
october
19th
as
the
preliminary
budget,
and
then
you
can
see
the
fact
that
we've
got
several
weeks
ahead
of
us
with
a
public
hearing
on
november
23rd
and
tentative
budget
adoption
based
on
your
directions
scheduled
for
december
7th
and
taking
a
deeper
dive
in
what's
going
to
happen
over
the
next
several
weeks.
Tonight
is
the
city
manager's
preliminary
presentation.
F
Next
week,
director
brennaman
will
be
here
to
talk
about
development
services
on
november
7th
november,
2nd
human
services
will
be
here
november.
9Th
director
o'tal
will
be
here
to
discuss
utility
rates
november
16th
director
hagan
will
be
here
for
fire
inspection
fee,
and
then
we
head
into
the
public
hearing.
You
will
notice
that
each
of
these
weeks
has
a
section
called
council
interests.
F
So
as
we
come
back
to
you
with
questions
with
the
areas
of
interest
that
the
council
has,
we
have
time
a
flexible
time
in
each
of
these
evenings
with
you
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
to
you
the
feedback
that
you're
interested
in
and
not
just
kind
of
the
routine
things
that
we
know,
we
need
to
bring
forward
to
you
all
the
rates,
all
the
things
that
need
your
your
attention,
but
also
areas
of
your
interest.
So
we've
got
time
on
each
calendar
for
that
as
well.
F
Next
slide,
please!
So
in
order
to
adopt
the
package
this
year
there
are
approximately
nine
or
ten
actions
that
are
required.
The
list
is,
is
here
in
front
of
you:
you
will
have
to
set
the
2021
development
services
rates,
the
21
and
22
utility
rates,
you'll
have
the
human
services
and
the
block
grad
ordinances
in
front
of
you.
This
year
will
be
the
first
year
that
you
actually
implement
a
two-year
fire
inspection
fee,
ordinance
historically,
you've
done
them
annually.
The
recommendation
coming
out
the
last
mid-buy
was
when
we
come
back
this
time.
F
We
do
it
for
two
years.
So
that's
in
front
of
you.
This
year
we
have
a
small
increase
in
basic
life
support
fees.
We
will
also
need
a
substantial
need
ordinance
this
year,
so
by
state
law.
If
inflation
is
less
than
one
percent,
as
the
state
rcw
defines
it.
If
we
want
to
increase
property
taxes
to
the
one
percent
property
tax
adjustment,
we
would
need
a
substantial
need
ordinance
and
we'll
have
that
for
you
this
year
as
well.
The
last
time
you
did
that
was
back
in
2016..
F
So
just
a
few
years
ago
we
will
bank
the
property
tax
and
then
we
will
set
the
property
tax
for
2021
and
then
of
course,
the
last
thing
that
happens
is
you
adopt
the
actual
fund
appropriation
for
each
of
the
funds,
so
our
total
budget
this
year
is
1.7
billion
dollars,
which
sounds
like
a
whole
lot
of
money.
It
is
an
actual
flat
budget.
Over
the
last
time
we
brought
a
budget
to
you
so
back.
The
1920
budget
also
had
a
1.7
billion
dollar
budget.
F
In
this
look
it's
only
two
years
when
we
get
farther
in
the
presentation,
you'll
hear
a
full
seven
year.
Look,
but
you
appropriate
for
two
years
you
authorize
for
seven
years,
so
appropriation
would
be
523
million
dollars.
It
actually
has
a
decrease
in
percent
growth,
and
that's
really
due
to
project
timing
and
not
due
to
something
else.
So
that's
really
due
to
project
timing
heading
one
box
to
the
left,
you
go
to
the
special
purpose
funds.
F
That's
predominantly
our
donations
and
debt
funds,
those
types
of
things
we
haven't
issued
debt
in
the
last
two
years,
so
I
would
expect
a
very
nominal
change
in
those
funds,
and
you
can
see
that
here
the
center
block
you
will
have
specific
presentations
on
it,
includes
development
services
and
utilities.
F
Development
services
will
come
back
later
as
well
as
utilities.
These
are
both
areas
where
the
revenues
that
are
generated
in
those
areas
can
only
be
spent
in
those
areas.
So,
for
instance,
excuse
me,
I
apologize
so,
for
instance,
water
rate
fees
that
people
pay
can
only
be
spent
for
water
type
utilities,
the
fees
that
they
they
pay
for
permitting
or
development
services
can
only
be
used
for
development
services.
That's
what
you
find
in
that
center
bucket
heading
to
the
next
bucket
over
is
our
internal
service
and
other
operating
funds.
F
You'll
see
it's
about.
200
million
dollars
and
you'll
see
that
it's
gone
down
by
6.3
growth.
There's
two
major
reasons
why
it's
gone
down.
The
first
is
our
hotel,
motel
transit
oriented
tax
is
included
in
this
area
and
due
to
covid,
it
has
substantially
reduced
going
into
this
biennium.
So
that's
one
piece
of
why
that's
gone
down
the
other
piece.
Why
that's
gone
down
is
our
health
benefits
have
also
decreased.
So
you
see
that
here
as
well.
F
So
that's
the
good
news
that
mr
miyaki
spoke
about
in
his
opening
comments
that
takes
us
to
the
general
fund,
which
is
the
fund
that
has
the
greenest
color
of
money
and
his
most
fungible
money
in
the
city
the
general
fund
pays
for
about,
I
would
say,
85
percent,
of
the
operations
of
the
city.
It
includes
everything
from
transportation
to
parks,
police
fire.
All
of
our
municipal
administrative
infrastructure
is
substantially
located
in
this
fund.
F
This
is
the
fund
that
obviously
has
been
impacted
by
covid
quite
heavily
this
year
that
you've
heard
about
several
times
over
it's
474
million
dollars
and
over
the
biennium.
It
has
a
2.3
growth.
A
little
later
in
the
presentation,
you
will
actually
see
that
2021
has
a
decline
or
a
negative
growth
and
2022
has
a
bit
of
an
increase.
You'll,
see
kind
of
the
major
impacts
kovats
had
across
our
city
in
these
various
funds,
the
other
place.
I
think
that
covets
had
an
impact.
F
The
next
slide.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
talk
about
operations
of
the
city,
people
always
ask
so
how
we
paying
for
the
operations
of
the
city.
You
know
you've
got
this
very
large
budget.
How
are
you
going
to
pay
for
it?
So
this
shows
how
much
you
pay
for
the
operations
of
the
city
you'll
see
about
a
third
of
it
is
taxes
included
in
the
tax
numbers
here.
F
Is
that
one
percent
property
tax
adjustment
you'll
see
another
chunk
of
money
about
almost
30
percent
of
it
is
our
utility
service
fees
and
then
the
remaining
portions
are
smaller
pieces.
So
you
have
charges
for
services
that
includes
everything
from
our
fire
contracts
to
our
parks,
programs,
miscellaneous
revenues,
which
is
our
court
fees,
investment
interest,
and
it's
a
very
long
laundry
list
of
things
that
go
into
that
space.
F
Our
intergovernmental
services,
our
state
shared
money
which
we
get
for
liquor
and
marijuana,
and
then
you
see
a
little
bit
of
grants
and
then
a
little
bit
of
money
comes
from
the
capital
investment
program
into
our
operating
fund,
and
I
think
next
slide.
Please
ke!
Thank
you
very
much.
So
the
last
slide
I
have
for
you
today
before
ke
takes
a
deeper
dive
into
the
general
fund
is
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
property
tax
distribution.
F
I
know
all
of
you
are
quite
aware,
but
sometimes
our
viewers
at
home
may
not
be
aware
that
when
a
average
property
tax
bill
in
the
city
of
bellevue
comes
the
city
of
bellevue
receives
about
10
percent
of
the
accountant,
pennies,
a
dime
of
their
total
property
tax
bill.
So
as
council
considers
making
the
one
percent
property
tax
adjustment
where
that
impacts
is
just
in
the
city
of
bellevue
portion
or
ten
percent,
so
a
million
dollar
homeowner
would
pay
about
nine
dollars
a
year
for
that
one
percent
property
tax
adjustment.
F
Q
Q
Let
me
start
with
a
refresher
of
what
the
forecast
looked
like
two
years
ago
when
we
adopted
the
2019
and
2020
budget.
We
were
aware
of
the
structural
imbalance
between
general
fund
revenue
growth
and
the
growing
costs
to
maintain
our
services.
This
is
mainly
driven
by
the
tax
structure
issue.
That's
facing
almost
all
jurisdictions
in
washington,
state
state
law
caps,
our
property
tax
grows
at
one
to
two
percent
annually.
Q
The
city
had
been
preparing
for
this
future
challenge.
For
some
time.
Your
unanimously
adopted
2019
and
2020
budget
took
the
first
steps
to
address
this
issue,
including
a
one
percent
property
tax
adjustment
and
implementing
fire
inspection
fee
and
engaging
our
employees
on
a
health
care
cost
containment
strategy.
Q
Q
Q
On
this
slide,
you
can
see
the
current
general
fund
forecast
presented
in
the
city
manager's
preliminary
budget.
The
blue
line
on
this
chart
shows
the
general
fund
expenditures
and
the
green
line
shows
the
general
fund
total
revenue.
The
2021
and
2022
preliminary
budget
includes
a
one
percent
property
tax
adjustment.
Q
As
the
city
manager
mentioned
in
both
years,
we
will
be
losing
approximately
1
million
per
year
for
annexation
sales,
tax
exploration
that
reimburses
us
the
service
costs
in
the
eastgate
area
that
we
annexed
in
2012.,
and
it
also
includes
a
phased
opening
of
fire
station
10
in
2022
and
2023,
facing
the
costs
between
implement
being
implemented
over
those
two
years.
Q
Q
Q
The
city's
current
financial
policy
requires
the
reserves
to
be
at
at
least
15
percent,
so
you
can
see
that
we
ended
2019
at
around
23,
but
in
2020
we
must
use
part
of
the
reserves
that
we
intentionally
built
in
prior
years
due
to
covet
and
the
current
forecast
shows
the
fund
balance
will
drop
below
15
starts
in
2023,
and
the
trend
continues
if
no
other
actions
are
taken
on
to
the
preliminary
budget.
The
general
fund
totals
474
million
over
two
years
and
they're
categorized
by
council's
strategic
target
areas.
Q
F
F
We
did
need
to
close
a
gap
of
16
million
dollars
annually
or
32
million
over
the
biennium,
and
we
did-
and
we
do
need
to
use
some
one-time
options
where
it's
possible,
so
we
have
time
to
buy
time
so
that
we
can
get
more
information
and,
if
necessary,
make
course
corrections
at
the
mid
biennium
the
budget
before
you
also
maintains
people
facing
services
as
city
manager,
miyake
mentioned
public
safety
and
human
services.
It
focuses
on
maintaining
existing
staff
and
programs
where
it's
possible.
F
We
did
need
to
make
some
reductions
and
we'll
go
through
those
in
just
a
minute
and
talk
about
where
we
did
need
to
make
some
prioritizing
discussions
and
then,
as
with
any
community
and
with
any
budget,
there
are
always
areas
as
the
community
changes
where
we
need
to
require
some
investments,
and
this
budget
is
no
different.
It
does
have
some
modest
investments,
so
there's
no
easy
answers
to
find
16
million
dollars
or
32
million
over
the
biennium
for
balancing
this
budget.
F
These
four
strategies
add
up
to
that
32
million
dollars
over
two
years,
I'm
going
to
start
with
over
in
the
corner
where
it
says
one-time
bridge
structures
and
then
I'm
going
to
go
clockwise
and
end
up
over
in
cost
containment,
which
was
the
largest
of
the
areas
that
we
found
to
balance
the
budget.
So
one
time
bridge
structures,
it's
15
million
dollars
over
two
years.
Nine
million
dollars
of
that
money
is
in
2021,
six
million
dollars
of
that
money
is
in
2022.
F
It
comes
from
three
basic
areas:
a
continued
draw
down
on
reserves
down
to
the
council
policy
of
15
the
sales
tax
allocation,
we've
moved
three
million
dollars
a
year
or
six
million
dollars,
total
for
the
short
period
of
time
of
21
and
22
from
the
cip
to
the
general
fund
to
ensure
core
services
remain,
and
we
have
rethought
the
opening
of
fire
station
10
where
fire
station
10
will
have
its
full
opening
in
2023,
in
the
springtime
and
yet
in
2022.
F
Chief
hagan
has
found
a
way
to
do
a
soft
opening
in
2022.
We
will
have
to
hire
some
team
members,
firefighters
in
2022
and
some
in
2023.
F
This
budget,
before
you
increases
the
basic
life
support
transport
services,
that's
our
bls
transport
services,
our
ambulance
services
fee
and
that
generates
about
80
000,
and
then
we
have
also
added
additional
staff
members
in
our
tax
division
here
at
the
city
to
ensure
that
we
have
compliance
with
our
current
b
o
tax
structures.
F
As
I
mentioned,
there
are
several
areas
that
needed
investments
across
the
city.
It's
two
million
dollars
over
the
two
years.
Again,
not
a
tremendous
amount.
There
was
some
some
needs.
There.
First
is
in
homelessness,
we've
moved
to
24,
7,
homelessness,
shelter,
work
and
that's
included.
In
this
budget.
We
have
small
increases
in
equity
and
establishing
a
cultural
liaison
program
and
we've
added
team
members
in
both
community
development
and
development
services
to
assist
with
supporting
the
affordable
housing
initiatives
and
making
sure
the
planning
work
is
getting
done
on
on
the
timelines
necessary.
F
F
The
first
is
our
internal,
our
internal
operations.
So,
as
city
manager
miyake
mentioned,
we
have
reduced
discretionary
travel
and
training.
We've
looked
at
ways
that
we
could
reduce
our
consultant
money.
Anything
that
kind
of
gives
us
that
flexibility
to
be
able
to
take
on
new
work.
We
have
really
looked
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
have
found
as
much
there
as
possible
before
impacting
external
services.
F
We've
also
have
a
second
bucket,
which
is
our
clovid
bucket.
We
know
that
covid
has
changed
our
operations
by
the
time
city
hall
opens
based
on
what
I
read.
The
newspaper
this
morning
about
a
potential
vaccine-
it's
not
going
to
probably
open
until
we
hit
phase
three,
which
is
probably
going
to
be
a
while.
Yet
by
the
time
that
happens,
city
hall
might
have
been
closed
as
much
as
a
year
and
our
citizens
are
finding
new
ways
to
access
us
besides
coming
to
the
building.
F
So
this
budget
does
look
at
what
are
some
of
those
ways
that
we
can
change
our
operations.
I
think
it's
the
beginning
point
of
how
our
operations
are
going
to
change.
I
think
that
over
time
as
covid
becomes
maybe
more
part
of
our
past,
there
will
be
more
changes
in
how
the
city
operates
in
response
to
the
pandemic.
F
The
last
piece,
that's
in
our
cost
containment
or
our
change
in
operations,
is
those
things
that
are
external
facing
and
I'll
turn
this
over
to
director
shiosaki.
To
talk
in
just
a
second
here,
but
there's
two
major
areas
that
we
talked
about
from
an
external
area
all
are
related
to
maintenance.
We
really
prioritize
how
we
serve
people
over
doing
maintenance,
so
both
in
sidewalk
maintenance
and
in
park
maintenance.
F
R
So,
first
for
streetscapes,
we
are
proposing
to
eliminate
these
seasonal
turf,
irrigation
and
thus
reducing
mowing
of
these
landscapes.
R
So
the
impact
you'll
see
here-
and
you
can
see
it
in
the
in
the
photograph
there,
I'm
sure
it's
something
you've
seen
before
this
would
be
turf
that
will
seasonally
brown
out
or
go
dormant,
so
this
assumes
that
the
turf
will
partially
recover
with
fall
rains,
but
unfortunately,
turf
does
generally
degrade
over
time
with
this
kind
of
treatment.
So
this
includes
about
nine
acres
of
lawn
and
streetscapes.
R
So,
overall,
this
reduction
in
street
maintenance
is
about
19,
so
moving
on
to
neighborhood
parks
and
city
facilities,
and
this
covers
the
city's
42
neighborhood
parks,
city
hall,
bsc
the
fire
stations
and
the
training
center.
We
would
also
be
eliminating
seasonal
turf
irrigation
at
these
sites
and
then
reducing
mowing
at
neighborhood
parks
by
about
25
percent.
R
R
So
the
impact
would
be
we'd
work
with
contractors
to
reduce
service
levels,
including
mowing
weeding
litter,
pickup,
edging
and
fall
leaf,
removal
for
community
parks
and
sports
fields-
and
this
includes
the
city's
22
community
parks-
we'd-
be
looking
at
a
reduction-
that's
a
equivalent
to
about
four
limited
term
employees
in
maintenance
staff.
So
this
really
is
as
a
level
of
service
cut
and
as
we
look
at
the
entire
maintenance
staff
this
in
our
resource
management
division,
this
would
be
about
11
reduction.
R
So
this
is
a
reduction
in
core
maintenance
functions
like
mowing
and
weeding
and
edging.
So
what
you'll
see
over
time
is,
you
know
a
longer
grass
in
the
non-summer
season
and
perhaps
a
few
more
weeds
and
just
a
slower
response
time
when
there
are
downed
trees,
that
aren't
safety
issues
and
any
ad
added
garbage,
pickups
or
repairs.
R
So
there'd
also
be
a
reduction
in
materials
and
supplies
that
go
to
community
parks
about
a
40
reduction,
and
so
this
means
less
less
bark
and
mulch
for
planting
beds
and
top
dressing
lawns
and
also
less
gravel
for
trail
maintenance
and
fewer
small
drainage
projects.
R
As
we
look
at
both
community
and
neighborhood
parks,
this
together
would
be
a
reduction
of
about
5
to
six
percent
and
last
but
not
least
in
natural
areas,
we
would
be
looking
at
eliminating
two
seasonal
forest
management
staff
positions,
along
with
fewer
supplies
and
professional
services,
meaning
quite
often
design
and
contracted
site
maintenance
that
supports
these
natural
areas
and
then
also
looking
at
eliminating
the
parks
department's
well-kept
crew
program,
which
is
a
summer
youth
employment
program,
and
it
would
be
eliminating
that
program
in
2022,
because
we
have
some
king
county
funding
to
keep
that
program
together
through
2021.
R
So
overall
in
natural
areas,
those
reductions
would
be
about
three
percent.
So
now
I'd
like
to
hand
this
off
to
andrew
singalakis
in
transportation,.
O
Oh,
thank
you,
michael,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
we
have
mark
poe,
the
assistant
director
over
traffic
management,
also
on
this
call,
and
while
there
are
cuts
throughout
the
entire
transportation
department
in
terms
of
vacancies,
that
will
not
be
refilled.
O
O
This
is
why
most
of
the
proposed
budget
reduction
is
coming
from
maintenance.
We
are
proposing
a
deferred
maintenance
strategy
to
accomplish
this
reduced
our
budget
and
most
of
our
major
programs
without
totally
cutting
any
one
program,
and
this
is
because
they
are
all
really
essential
programs.
Much
of
the
savings
in
these
areas
is
accomplished
by
eliminating
a
majority
of
the
temporary
help,
as
well
as
less
contracted
maintenance,
and
this
shifts
the
burden
onto
our
permanent
staff.
O
We'll
still
be
able
to
systematically
provide
maintenance
throughout
the
city
at
a
reduced
level
and
also
have
the
capacity
to
shift
resources.
Resources
between
programs
to
address
concerns
as
they
arise
and
will
need
to
become
more
reactive
than
proactive
and,
as
indicated
in
these
slides
and
you
can,
you
can
switch
the
slide
at
any
time.
The
major
programs
are
paving
in
potholes,
sidewalks,
vegetation
control,
street
lighting
and
there's
an
interesting
thing
about
street
lighting.
O
We
have
a
program
to
institute
led
lighting
by
the
end
of
2021,
and
this
is
actually
achieving
a
200
000
a
year
cost
savings
which
is
a
positive
science
and
striping
and
signal
maintenance,
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
to
tony.
F
A
So
we're
this
is
one
of
two
pauses
in
the
program
to
ask
questions
so
I'll
go
ahead
and,
first
of
all,
can
I
see
a
show
of
hands
if
you
have
questions
or
comments,
so
I
get
a
sense
of
how
many
people
want
to
question
or
comment
at
this
time.
A
So,
let's
just
go
by
hands.
Raise
then
council
members
on
once
you
start.
E
There
we
go
okay,
thank
you
and
thank
you,
tony
for
all
your
work
to
present
us
with
a
balanced
budget
that
still
preserves
the
15.
E
I
know
that
this
is
a
really
tough
time
and
I
really
appreciate
the
work
and
also
how
to
reduce
the
impact
to
the
community.
The
couple
of
questions
that
I
have
for
when
you
come
back
the
the
pie
chart
that
shows
the
percent
of
dollars
going
to
the
different
council
priorities.
E
I
think
it's
important
to
have
transparency
to
the
pie
chart
so
those
areas
that
are
20
or
higher
in
the
chart.
It
would
be
nice
if
it
could
be
disaggregated,
so
we
can
see
what
it
goes
to
so
the
20
percent
was
the
built
in
natural
environment
61
to
high
performance
government,
so
getting
some
disaggregation
or
or
a
pull-out
sub-pie
chart
would
be
helpful
to
me
and
then
regarding
the
parks
director
shiasaki.
E
I
would
like
to
I'd
like
to
talk
about
whether
there's
some
way
to
look
at
partnerships
on
the
streetscapes,
maybe
an
adopt
the
street
program
or
adopt
a
park
so
that
we
can
engage
with
the
community
to
to
to
do
some
of
that
maybe
weeding
and
and
beautify
our
parts
and
then
on
the
well-kept
crew
program.
I
understand
that
we
only
have
funding
for
2021..
E
E
A
M
Thank
you.
I
want
to
also
thank
the
staff,
tony
and
all
the
other
department
staff
for
working
so
hard
going
through
this
tough
time.
You
know
facing
short
chain
short
for
in
budget
and
trying
to
make
choices.
It's
always
tough,
especially
something
unanticipated
so
anyway.
So
again,
kudos
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
there,
a
lot
of
stuff
to
think
about,
and
I
appreciate
the
city,
manager
and
staff
working
to
come
up
with
different
ways
to
handle
the
deficit.
M
You
know,
but
again
it's
sometimes
it
comes
down
to
just
what's
workable.
What's
practical
and
what's
you
know
the
the
the
the
different
choices
you
have
to
make,
so
I
don't
want
to
take
the
time
to
go
through
a
lot
of
stuff,
because
I
do
have
some
questions,
so
I
would
love
to
spend
some
time
to
look
over
at
powerpoint
the
presentation-
and
maybe
you
know
I
can
come
back
with
some
questions.
I
have
to
have
a
chance
to
look
through
and
maybe
talk
to
the
staff
a
bit.
M
So
that's
all
I
can
say
yeah.
So
if
I
can
have
that
opportunity
get
back
to
me
and
I
will
be
happy
to
keep
my
two
cents
worth,
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
lee,
and
I
think
that
we
can
all
email
any
additional
questions
that
we
have
and
they
those
will
be
compiled
so
that
and
presented
back
to
us
so
that
we
can
see
the
questions
and
the
answers
for
all
the
council
members.
Okay.
So
next
I
have
deputy
mayor,
then
stokes
barksdale
and
I
am
assuming
council
member
robertson-
has
some
things
she'd
like
to
ask
or
say
so,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house.
G
Thank
you
mayor
boy,
a
lot
here
and
excuse
me,
you
know
first
really
want
to
thank
the
leadership
of
our
city
manager,
brad
miyaki,
for
getting
us
to
this
point
and
presenting
this
this
this
preliminary
budget,
as
well
as
the
entire
leadership
team,
as
well
as
tony
just
fantastic
job,
on
not
only
briefing
before
this,
but
also
walking
us
through
this
on
with
your
team
as
well.
G
Clearly,
a
lot
of
thought
went
into
this
during
a
time
that
is,
is
so
unprecedented
as
as
you've
mentioned
so,
and
on
that
note
boy,
I
hope
that
bellevue
residents
certainly
understand
how
lucky
we
are
to
have
this
team
at
the
city.
That's
been
through
a
recession,
not
all
that
long
ago,
and
I
think
we
can
certainly
all
take
key
learnings
from
that
back
in
the
2009
2010,
as
well
as
the
council
members
that
we
still
have
on
this
council,
such
as
councilmember
lee
and
robertson,
maybe
stokes
as
well.
G
I
apologize
if
I'm
missing
anybody,
but
that
that
knowledge
of
getting
the
city
through
a
time
like
this
will
also
come
extremely
in
handy.
I
really
appreciate
some
of
the
the
the
core
themes
that
I'm
hearing
tonight.
Certainly
for
me,
some
of
the
top
concerns
that
I
have
you
know
certainly
number
one
is
keeping
building
strong
and
you
know
making
sure
that
we
don't
let
up
on
our
coveted
response.
G
Making
sure
that
public
safety
is
is
a
key
concern
and
I'm
hearing
things
there
and
I'm
not
hearing
about
any
defunding
of
police
or
a
fire
I'd
love
if
we
could
find
a
way
to
not
have
that
phased
approach
to
fire
station
10.
Certainly
I
know
that
some,
some
tough
tough
decisions
need
to
be
made
here.
But
you
know,
public
safety
is
key
and
you
know
there's
a
reason
we
had
to
move
forward
with
having
a
downtown
fire
station.
So
certainly
I
would
love
we
can
take
another
look
at
that.
G
You
know
also
tony
a
quick
question
for
you
and
like
councilman
release
that
I'm
going
to
save
most
of
my
questions
for
for
for
for
email,
but
I'm
assuming
and
I
apologize
if
I
missed
it
earlier,
but
a
lot
of
these
forecasts
that
we
see
here
so
far.
What
are
we
assuming
based
on
the
recovery
and
how
that's
going
to
impact
the
different
funds
impact
the
general
reserves
impact
the
the
the
long-term
forecast
for
for
for
the
city?
G
Are
we
looking
at
a
or
are
hoping
that
it's
going
to
be
a
v-shaped
recovery,
or
how
did
you
play
into
that
as
as
we're
as
we're
going
through
this,
and
then
how
nimble
are
we
or
can
we
be
in
terms
of
adjusting
as
we
go
forward
depending
upon
how
the
recovery
goes.
F
So
deputy
mayor,
I'm
going
to
answer
that
really
quickly
and
then
I
promise
to
get
to
you
more
full
write-up
answer
to
you
that
will
answer
the
whole
host
of
the
questions.
You
asked
thank
you,
but
in
general
the
easy
answer
is:
is
we
have
assumed
a
recovery
that
gets
us
out
to
2023
and
by
2023
we
look
a
whole
lot
like
2019.,
so
we're
expecting
us
to
be
in
a
more
of
a
u-shape
for
lack
of
a
better
word
recovery
for
quite
a
bit.
F
We
did
in
this
budget
that
we
just
presented
to.
You
include
some
one-time
structures
that
help
us
bias
the
time
to
in
order
to
really
see
how
that
recovery
happens.
If
it
happens,
like
we
think
it's
going
to
happen,
we
might
have
to
take
more
difficult
choices.
Come
at
the
mid
by.
I
think,
that's
a
very
real
possibility.
F
G
Perfect,
thank
you
two
other
areas
I'm
interested
in,
though
that
don't
have
to
be
answered
tonight,
but
I
just
will
be
on
the
record
one:
the
two
million
dollars
we
took
for
homelessness
and
affordable
housing.
G
I'd
really
like
to
know
specifics
in
terms
of
where
that's
going
clearly,
that's
not
enough
to
address
the
issues
going
on,
but
I'd
like
to
know
specifically,
where
that's
going
and
how
that's
going
to
impact
those
two
areas
and
then
also
our
our
challenge
to
our
director
of
parks
and
community
services
here
regarding
litter
pickup.
For
me,
that's
more
than
just
an
aesthetics,
it's
also
an
environmental
impact
and
I'd
love
to
find
a
way
that
you
know.
G
I
don't
think
anyone
has
a
problem
here
in
terms
of
you
know,
reducing
mowing
and
and
other
things,
but
that
litter
can
really
pay.
I
don't
know
unsightly
aspect
of
the
city
as
well
as
an
environmental
impact,
so
I
just
wanted
to
pass
that
along
as
well.
Thank
you
for
my
time.
A
Okay,
councilmember
stokes.
D
Yeah,
I
appreciate
a
lot
of
the
deputy
mayor's
comments
on
this.
I
won't
repeat
those
one
thing
I
wanted
to
know,
and
just
say
it
again
in
terms
of
with
the
public
is,
is
basically
what's
the
difference
between
the
budget
you're
presenting
and
what
we
potentially
would
have
presented.
F
Sure,
councilmember
stokes,
I
would
tell
you
that
the
budget
you
would
have
seen
if
it
had
not
been
for
covid.
We
would
have
still
had
that
structural
deficit.
F
Written
up,
but
I
I
might
a
large
portion
of
this
is
related
to
the
fact
that
we
did
hit
a
coveted
recession,
but
we
still
would
have
had
to
make
some
choices
coming
into
this
budget,
because
we
we
did
know
that
the
future
showed
that
expenditures
would
outstrip
revenues.
D
Yeah,
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
message
for
the
community
to
understand
as
we
go
forward,
because
this
is
here
we're
looking
way
into
the
future.
The
other
one
I
wanted
to
just
ask
again
for
information
and
to
kind
of
frame
things
is
again
explain
you
know
real
shortly,
but
what
is
the
importance
of
holding
to
the
15
reserves
in
terms
of
our
overall
budget
financing
and
all
these
different
factors,
because
it
would
seem
easy
to
dip
into
that
in
this
type
of
a
situation.
F
Sure
we
can
get
you
a
fuller
answer
written
up
on
that,
but
the
general
response
is
is
that
we
hold
those
reserves
in
case
of
we
need
them
again
for
yet
another
major
issue
that
comes
at
us.
So
there's
some
need
to
have
money
in
the
savings
account
under
any
scenario
so
that
we
don't
have
to
make
rash
difficult
decisions
on
the
fly.
So
we'll
get
you
a
fuller
right
up
on
that,
though,.
D
D
D
That
are
one
thing
that
deputy
mayor
said,
but
I
remember
talking
to
patrick
foreign
back
in
2008-
was
the
parks
board
and
doing
with
that
cam
campaign
for
the
parks
levy,
and
we
had
to
use
some
cutting
back
at
that
time
on
budgets
and
on
the
maintenance
of
the
parks
facilities,
and
I
know
it's
necessary,
and
I
know
it's
something
that
can
be
done
fairly
easily
and
save
a
substantial
amount.
D
But
there
is
this
factor
that
that
kind
of
worries
me
is
that
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
makes
bellevue
or
any
city
really
look
good
and
be
attractive
and
people
feel
good
about
the
city
and
people
feel
good
about
themselves.
Is,
as
you
have
a
city
that
you
know
it's
a
city
in
the
park
that
is
beautiful,
we
have
it
well
maintained.
D
You
know
their
problems
in
other
cities
where
they
have
potholes,
where
they
let
things
just
go.
So
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
we
don't
that
we
take
this
very
carefully
and
what
patrick
said
also
was
that
it
is
very,
very
difficult
usually
to
come
back
to
your
to
a
standard
once
you
lower
the
standard.
D
So
I'm
hoping
we're
aware
of
that
and
try
to
maintain
the
beauty
and
people
are
going
through
a
time
period
when
they're
really
feeling
bad
about
things
and
I
think
helping
the
city
look
great
is
is
important,
so
I'm
just
you
know,
that's
a
balance
there
and
the
other
factor
is
a
little
concerned
about
the
loss
that
that
people
that
have
been
working,
particularly
part-time
and
all
they're
gonna
be
out
of
job,
and
that's
that's
a
little
concern
too
and
how
what
that
effect
is.
D
But
I
understand
we
have
to
make
these.
I
just
I
guess
I'm
saying
I
I
and
I
trust
that
you're
making
a
balance
on
that
and
that
it's
it's
a
hard
thing
to
do,
but
let's
make
sure
we
recover
and
get
back
to
that
level
as
soon
as
we
can.
That
would
be
my
my
request
on
this
part,
a
great
presentation
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
details,
and
you
know
going
forward
on
this,
but
up
to
this
point,
it's
been
right.
What
we
needed.
Thank
you.
J
Right,
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you,
tony
and
and
staff
for
the
great
presentation
and
all
the
work
that
you've
done
with
this
budget
together.
Just
a
few
points
here
so
in
terms
of
having
moved
to
more
remote
work,
just
curious
about
any
savings
that
we've
had
there
and
how
we're
working
to
carry
those
forward
into
the
future
and
continue
to
look
for
ways
to
like
learn
from
these
and
solidify
a
bit
more
enhancements
there.
J
In
terms
of
the
cultural
liaison
program.
I
was
curious
about
what
that
entails,
but
probably
a
bit.
More
importantly,
from
my
end
is
just-
and
I
ask
for
for
us
to
consider
dedicated
resource
or
staffing
for
racial
equity,
so
that
training
is
sort
of
a
touch
and
go
I'd
like
to
see
a
role
that
is
a
bit
more
sustained
throughout.
J
So
they
can
work
with
the
different
departments
to
apply
an
equity
lens
and
build
that
muscle
throughout
the
city
in
terms
of
tech
enhancements
just
thinking
about
ways
that
we
can,
as
you
know,
I'm
into
the
data
piece
of
things,
and
so
the
more
that
we
can
build
up
that
muscle
as
well.
In
order
to
identify
efficiencies
where
we
can
make
adjustments
based
on
what
we're
seeing
in
terms
of
programming
and
then
finally,
just
a
two
things:
one
community
involvement.
J
I
really
like
the
idea
of
having
the
community
involved
and
helping
to
work
through
some
of
the
some
of
the
like
park,
maintenance
things
like
that.
That
came
up
earlier,
as
well
as
just
looking
for
ways
to
apply
tactical
urbanism
throughout
the
city.
I
think
it
can
help
us
with
remedying
some
of
those,
and
my
last
question
is:
when
will
we
we
have
a
discussion
or
review
the
kpis
that
are
also
in
the
budget
and
just
curious
when
that
conversation
will
happen.
F
Councilman
brocksdale
I've
got
your
list
of
questions
here
and
I
will
talk
with
the
city
manager
and
the
city
clerk
on
the
kpi
discussion.
Okay,.
L
Thanks
mayor
great
presentation,
I
really
appreciate
having
such
excellent
finance
people
at
the
top
with
brad
and
tony.
I
think
that
that
will
serve
the
people
of
bellevue
very
well.
First,
I
am
happy
to
see
that
many
of
the
core
governmental
services
are
being
maintained
like
police
and
fire
and
roads
and
parks,
and
you
know
utilities
I
think
that's
all
really
really
important,
especially
since
our
city
is
continuing
to
grow
and
the
people
expect
to
get
really
good
governmental
services.
L
I
I
join
my
colleagues
concerns
about
wanting
to
make
sure
that
maintenance
that
we
are
deferring
doesn't
become
permanent,
that
it
doesn't
you
know
and
that
it
doesn't
cost
us
more.
So,
for
example,
we
wouldn't
want
to
delay
overlaying
a
road
to
the
extent
that
we
need
to
then
do
a
whole
new
subgrade,
and
I
know
that
this
is
something
we've
talked
about
in
our
briefings.
L
But
I
wanted
to
just
talk
about
the
record
because
that's
going
to
cost
a
whole
lot
more
and
inconvenience
the
public
a
lot
more
than
just
maintaining
it
so
allowing
some
things
to
slip
that
are
that.
Don't
then
end
up
costing
more.
You
know
pennywise
and
pound
foolish.
My
mother
always
said
we
don't
want
to
do
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we,
if
we're
cutting
some
pennies,
that
we
don't
end
up
paying
a
bigger
price
down
the
road.
L
Secondly,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
deferrals
of
of
the
maintenance
aren't
front
door
kind
of
things
when
we
went
through
the
recession
before,
for
example,
we
weren't
cutting
the
sides
of
the
roads
and
that
really
didn't
look
very
good
and
having
your
front
door
be
bashed
in
and
holy
makes.
Your
whole
house
look
bad
right,
so
these
are
the
kind
of
things
that
people
are
really
proud
to
live
in.
Bellevue
they're,
proud
that
we
have
beautiful
streets
and
amazing
parks
and
it
creates
value
in
our
community.
L
It
creates
investments
from
you,
know,
individuals
and
businesses,
and
it's
one
of
the
things
that
makes
bellevue
a
standout
community
and
so
making
sure
that
things
that
we
are
trimming
or
deferring
aren't
those
front
door
kind
of
things
I
think,
is
really
important.
L
Finally,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
do
the
things
we
need
to
do
to
set
ourselves
up
for
the
code
recovery
for
the
economic
growth,
for
all
the
jobs
that
are
coming
so,
for
example,
spending
some
money
on
design
now.
This
is
where
this
is
bleeding
into
the
capital,
but
spending
money
on
design
so
that
we're
eligible
for
grants.
L
Excellent.
Looking
for
planning
grants,
for
example
king
county,
with
their
pennies
for
pools
program,
they
have
planning
money
available
for
grants.
We
we
have
a
pool
that
we're
studying.
L
Definitely
we
need
to
be
looking
for
those
kind
of
things,
but
we
probably
need
to
do
a
certain
amount
of
work
in
order
to
get
it
so
making
sure
that
we
can
get
ourselves
ready
for
grants
and
partnerships
is
really
really
important,
and
I
love
the
idea
of
partnering
with
our
businesses
and
our
individuals
and
our
non-profits
and
our
community
organizations
adopt
a
park
adopt
road.
I
think
that
those
are
all
things
that
make
people
feel
great.
L
If
you
know
when
we
have
the
mayhem
that
happened
on
may
31st,
the
community
really
came
together
to
clean
up
downtown
that
made
our
community
stronger
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
felt
great
about
that
and
who
would
feel
great
about
making
sure
that
they
make
bellevue
a
better
place
for
everyone.
So
I
think
communicating
about
it.
So
people
know
what
to
expect,
but
also
inviting
people
in
to
help.
I
think
would
be
a
really
good
way
to
go.
So
thanks.
A
Thank
you,
so
I'm
just
really
impressed
with
what
a
thoughtful
budget
this
is
and
it
you
know
it's
a
nimble,
responsive
budget
to
a
most
unique
time
in
our
city
and
even
though
we've
been
through
recessions
before
this
is
very
different
than
that,
and
so
I
appreciate
how
responsive
this
is
to
the
emerging
needs
of
the
community,
and
I
know
you
know
we
have
to
cut
back,
we
have
increased
needs
and
we
have
decreased
revenues
and
both
those
lead
to
necessary
cutbacks.
A
Certainly
we
can
have
volunteer
groups
doing
weeding
and
raking,
and
I
I
know,
we've
seen
amazing,
volunteer
programs
in
the
city
before
so
I'd
love
to
explore
that
I
would
like
to
when
we
talk
about
the
lighting
program
that
we're
going
to
have
to
kind
of
stop
for
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
vision,
zero,
those
intersections
and
those
roadways
that
do
not
have
the
led
lighting
and
do
not
have
the
bicycle
infrastructure.
A
A
I
do
appreciate
council
member
barksdale's
recommendation
on
equity
staff
and
I
wonder
if
perhaps
part
of
our
diversity
staff
can
work
with
that
or
if
there's
a
some
combination
there.
Let's
see
if
we're
going
to
be
kind
of
doing
some
of
the
maintenance
on
demand.
I
really
hope
we
pro
promote
the
my
bellevue
app
and
make
it
really
easy
for
people
to
report
holes
in
the
road
and
tree
limbs
down
and
unsafe
situations,
and
then
the
last
thing
I'd
like
to
ask
is
the
new
sales
tax
that
we
implemented
last
week.
A
F
We
certainly
can
get
back
to
you
on
that.
I
do
not
believe
that
you
can
supplant
much
of
those
fundings,
but
I
will
certainly
check
with
the
legal
department
and
get
you
an
answer
back
on.
A
F
Certainly,
the
next
section
of
our
evening
is
the
capital
investment
program.
I
think
this
is
just
about
six
or
seven
slides,
so
it's
not
going
to
take
us
too
long.
I
will
have
one
more
question
area
after
that
and
then,
after
that,
we
will
close
down
with
just
a
recap
of
where
we're
headed
over
the
next
several
weeks.
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
kate,
eluded
percent.
Q
Q
We're
current
we're
only
focusing
on
general
cip
tonight,
utility
cip
is
scheduled
to
come
back
on
november,
9th,
as
the
utilities
department
present
their
rates
and
their
cip
in
the
next
two
slides.
We
will
go
over
the
major
investments
within
the
cip
by
our
financial
policy.
First,
we
need
to
ensure
that
the
city
meets
our
debt
obligations
and
maintains
the
project
we
already
built.
So
this
includes
the
overlay
program
and
other
transportation
maintenance
programs.
It
also
includes
parks,
renovation
and
refurbishment.
Q
Q
It
also
continues
improve
improvements
in
neighborhoods.
It
includes
the
neighborhood
enhancement
program
that
funds
small
and
medium-sized
projects
in
neighborhood
areas.
The
neighborhood
partnership
program
that
helps
building
small
community-based
capital
improvements.
It
also
increase
funding
for
neighborhood
congestion
management
project
for
1
million
in
total.
Q
It
also
continues
artificial
projects
in
bauret
area,
including
the
next
segment
of
the
spring
boulevard
that
has
just
opened.
It
also
addresses
city's
growth.
The
cip
includes
the
design
and
right-of-way
acquisition
for
bellevue
at
tov
land
bellevue
way
at
your
reeling.
It
continues
to
build
fire
station
10
and
the
economic
development
plan
implementation,
which
is
a
3p
project
that
totals
1.5
million
over
seven
years.
Q
Q
Q
Furthermore,
it
fulfills
general
government
obligations.
These
are
the
these
aren't
the
most
noticeable
projects,
but
they
are
important
to
maintain
the
city's
operations
advance
for,
for
example,
city
fleet
in
grand
left
replacement.
It
also
funds
for
parks,
resource
management
facility,
replacing
the
aging
fuel
tanks
for
the
city
fleet.
Q
On
this
slide,
you
can
see
the
cip
has
added
new
projects
and
they
can
be
sorted
into
two
major
categories.
One
is
to
address
the
city's
growth
and
the
second
is
to
fulfill
general
infrastructure
obligations.
I
will
not
go
through
this
project
one
by
one,
but
I
want
to
highlight
two
projects.
One
is
the
for
funding
the
first
phase
of
the
vision,
zero
safety
projects
along
high
injury
network
corridors.
Q
Q
The
next
two
slides
shows
the
total
7-year
cip
distribution
in
two
ways.
The
first
way
is
by
project
type.
What
you
see
on
this
pie
chart
we
distributed
cip
by
debt
services.
First,
this
is
the
upper
right
slice
of
the
pipe.
It's
pretty
straightforward.
It
pays
for
our
debt
obligations
below
it
is
the
ongoing
maintenance.
Q
The
ongoing
maintenance
is
about
half
transportation
and
about
a
quarter
parts,
and
then
we
have
the
discrete
ongoing
programs
that
half
of
it
is
transportation
and
majority
of
those
transportation.
Projects
are
topia
projects
and
then
the
last
slice
is
the
levies
that
funds
are
three
of
our
voted
levies,
including
fire
parks
and
transportation.
That
accounts
for
about
21
of
our
total
cip
and
then
the
second
pie
chart
is
showing
cip
by
strategic
target
areas.
A
J
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
and
thank
you
again,
tony
and
staff,
so
I
just
had
one
quick
question
in
terms
of
east
main
and
wilberton,
and
the
green
connection
in
east
trail
are
all
those
still
accounted
for
in
the
cip.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
those
were
still
offended.
F
F
M
Thank
you
madame
here,
similar
questions.
I
assume
that
the
currency
id,
I
don't
see
any
changes
right,
so
they
will
continue.
M
Okay,
so
what
you
pointed
out
is
just
maybe
additional.
F
M
So
I
I
feel
good
because
you
know
this
is
something
we're
looking
at
to
the
future
into
the
future.
I
assume
that
you
know
covert
19.
M
As
far
as
I
can
see
now
really
hasn't
stopped
everything,
and,
and
when
things
get
better,
you
know,
I
think
we
would
have
even
more
opportunities
and
projects,
and
I
noticed
that
most
of
it,
a
lot
of
it,
is
on
transportation,
smart
cities,
initiative,
technology
and
they're
all
related.
You
know
zero
vision,
transportation.
M
I
think
that
that's
good,
I
think
it's
very
very
uplifting
in
a
way
my
question
is,
but
because
we
have
the
cover
19,
you
know
we're
taking
a
hit
in
the
operating
budget,
we're
making
lots
of
priorities.
You
know
which
we
just
went
through
the
first
part
of
the
presentation.
M
And
I
know
cip
has
opportunity
to
shift
money
around
like
you
mentioned,
because
the
the
money
is
big
numbers,
we're
talking
about
big
chunk
of
numbers.
If
it's
a
timing
issue,
you
know
we
can
actually
have
opportunity
to
to
manage.
You
know
our
financial
problems
like
deficits
and
so
on
in
the
short
run.
M
M
So
my
question
is
what
what
is
potentially
some
some
shifting
of
timings,
saving
that
we
can
use
to
do
more,
do
less
or
even
you
know
well,
I
know
we're
shifting
some
more
sales
tax
to
the
operating
budget.
Well,
the
question
I'm
asking
basically
is:
can
we
not
ship
something
a
little
bit
more
so
that
we
don't
need
to
have
all
the
agony
of
trying
to
cut
yeah
the
operating
budget
good?
It's.
M
D
Yeah
very
good
overall
presentation,
I'm
looking
forward
to
getting
into
more
detail
on
this,
and
actually
I
was
having
the
same
thoughts
that
councilmember
lee
had
is
you
know
we're
looking
over
here:
parks,
operation
and
maintenance,
12.6
million
and
we're
talking
about
you
know
letting
letting
grass
go
brown
and
and
things
and
not
not
keeping
up
appearances
that
actually,
I
think,
have
a
lot
to
do
with
people's
perception
of
the
city
and
I'm
glad
we're
building
these
things,
and
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
push
these
forward
because
we
are
going
to
come
out
of
this
this
pandemic.
D
We
are
going
to
go
forward
and
these
are
important
things
for
the
future.
I'm
not
questioning
that!
I'm
just
again,
it
seems
a
little
odd
just
to
take
the
cuts
out
of
the
operating
budget
and
not
in
the
cip.
In
a
sense
I
mean,
I
know
from
past
discussions
these
things.
D
There
is
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
moving
around
that's
done
in
these
these
projects
in
their
long
range,
and
all
that
I
mean
you're,
we're
talking
about
just
earlier
talking
about
maybe
suggesting
about
doing
something
about
even
taking
the
affordable
housing
thing
out
and
trying
to
do
something
else
with
it.
We're
only
talking
to
two
million
at
fort
bell.
Housing
we've
got
four
million
for
a
parking
lot.
I
know.
D
Sometimes
you
look
at
this
and
I
just
just
wonder
if
we're
well,
I'm
not
sure
where
I'm
going
on
this
exactly
except
it
just
seems
that
we
should
take
a
look
at
this
and
maybe
have
a
little
more
balanced
approach
to
to
addressing
the
the
shortfall
overall.
D
F
Councilmember
stokes,
that's
a
very
good
question
and
councilmember
lee
you
as
well.
I
think
you
asked
a
similar
question.
We
will
definitely
follow
up.
I
think
the
cip
does
have
some
areas
where
we
have
removed
funding
substantially
from
our
maintenance.
We
took
the
inflation
out.
We
will
continue
to
tie
that
up
and
bring
that
storyline
back
to
you.
I
think
it's
a
a
good
conversation
that
we
need
to
tee
up
and
I
appreciate
you
bringing
it
to
light.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
Thanks
a
couple
of
things
in
the
cip,
as
I
said
when
we
were
talking
about
the
budget
in
general,
I
think
that
it's
really
important
that
we
continue
to
fund
things
in
bits
and
pieces
so
that
we
can
leverage
them
later,
and
I
am
pleased
to
see
that
in
the
cip
presentation.
L
So
I
know
that
there
is.
I
believe
there
is
in
the
budget,
a
curbside
management
study
that
is
really
important
as
our
downtown
grows.
I
am
wondering
if,
if
that
curbside
management
study
includes
or
could
be
modified,
to
include
a
study
on
the
downtown
and
bell
river
circulator,
I
think
having
a
circulator
that
goes
through
downtown
and
bell
road.
L
It's
like
the
shared
scooters.
It's
one
of
those
last
mile
kind
of
things.
It's
going
to
be
really
important
as
those
30
000
new
jobs
come
on
in
the
next
few
years,
and
it's
going
to
be
really
important
to
have
something
like
that
up
and
running
by
the
time
light
rail
opens
in
2023,
and
I
know
visit
bellevue's
working
on
it.
I
know
the
chamber
is
working
on
it.
L
I
know
the
city's
been
hooked
in
with
those
groups,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
at
least
have
enough
money,
whether
it's
in
this
curbside
management,
study
or
another
line
item,
so
that
we
can
look
at
how
it
will
be
done
when
it
would
be
done
and
how
much
it
would
cost
so
that,
as
we
get
closer
to
light
rail
opening,
we
can
make
those
decisions
so
and
we
can
maybe
apply
for
grants
for
those
sort
of
things.
L
So
if
it's,
I'm
just
gonna
put
a
pin
in
this
rather
than
having
tony
answer
back,
if
this
is
not
already
in
the
budget,
I'd
like
to
know
where
it
can
go
and
I'd
like
to
know
what
the
staff's
estimate
of
it
would
be
so
that
I
can
ask
my
colleagues
to
include
it.
Second
of
all,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is-
and
you
can
answer
this
if
you
know
it,
I
know
we
greenlighted
some
money
for
studying
the
pool
for
studying
the
multicultural
center.
F
A
good
question:
I
know
that
you
currently
have
studies
underway
that
came
out
of
previous
council
contingency
money
and
I
believe
those
studies
are
underway
now
I
I'd
have
to
look
and
see
how
they
continue
in
the
future.
That's
a
nit
that
I
have
the
answer
to,
but
we
can
find
out
for
you.
L
That
would
be
great
and
then
one
final
ask
and
that
is
specifically
with
regard
to
parks.
Our
parks
levy
was
passed
in
08,
it's
a
20-year
levy,
but
there's
nothing
that
says
that
we
cannot
ask
the
voters
to
replace
it
early,
so
we
might
want
to
think
about
that.
I'm
not
not
as
not
necessarily
in
this
budget
cycle,
but
as
we
start
living
with
the
down
the
downside
of
this
budget,
so
I
think
that's
something
we
definitely
need
to
think
about.
L
It
was
something
that
I
think
the
parks
board
was
going
to
study
like
funding
for
the
parks,
and
I
don't
know
if
they
have,
but
that
would
be
good.
So
thanks.
Thank
you.
E
On
yes,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
agree
with
making
sure
that
we
have
projects
that
are
in
the
growth
oriented
area,
and
I
understand
the
concern
from
my
colleagues
about
spending
cip
money
that
could
be
shifted
over
to
general
fund.
I
will
just
say
that
sometimes
we
have
to
leverage
opportunities
and
right
now
the
market
is
very
competitive
for
construction,
more
so
than
we've
seen
in
the
last
five
or
six
years,
and
so
to
the
degree
that
we
can
actually
build
more
for
our
money
right
now.
I
think
that's
an
important
element.
E
We
need
to
consider
the
other
one
is.
It
was
mentioned
before
about
being
shovel
ready,
because,
as
a
member
of
the
national
league
of
cities
transportation,
we
have
been
advocating
at
the
federal
level
for
passing
infrastructure
package,
and
I
think
that
when
it
finally
moves,
we
want
to
be
able
to
be
positioned
ourselves
to
be
able
to
go
after
that
money.
E
E
E
So
is
there
a
project
out
of
that,
and
then
I
echo
the
comment
about
the
cross-cultural
center
in
the
aquatic
center,
whether
we
can
put
some
seed
money
in
and
get
going
on
those
two
and
then.
Lastly,
you
know
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
updating
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative
and
I'd
like
to
understand
whether
there
are
some
projects
that
can
emerge
from
that
either
from
our
municipal
projects,
with
our
buildings
or
with
our
transportation
and
our
fleet,
to
look
at
more
greener
fleets.
E
A
On
okay,
great
deputy
mayor
noon,
house.
G
Thank
you
mayor.
Yes,
great
continuation
of
the
presentation
and
really
great
conversation
by
my
colleagues
here,
I
think
I'm
just
gonna
hold
off
on
the
rest
of
my
questions
and
email
them
and
but
really
like
the
the
direction
of
the
conversation,
a
lot
of
good
questions
and
I'll
add
to
it
by
email.
So
thank
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I
just
have
two
questions
that
you
can
answer
later,
but
one
of
them
you
know
when
we
talk
about
how
expensive
the
utility
fees
are
in
bellevue
and
just
knowing
the
you
know
it.
I
heard
this
thing.
A
I
don't
know
if
it's
true
I'd
love
to
know
for
a
fact
that
costco's
kirkland
toilet
paper
does
not
flush
as
well
as
other
toilet
papers
and
really
costs
the
city,
a
lot
of
money
to
process
that,
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
do
some
kind
of
city
effort
to
educate
people
on
lowering
utility
costs
by
being
more
careful
about
what
they're,
putting
down
the
toilets
and,
of
course,
with
their
recycling
and
things
like
that.
A
And
then
the
other
question
is
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
this
budget
or
not,
but
the
five
full-time
employees
for
permitting,
I
believe
for
development
services
that
we're
adding
is
it
possible
to
add
contract
workers
so
that
we're
not
committing
to
you
know
permanent
employment
for
a
temporary
boom?
It's
just
something
to
think
about.
Don't
have
to
answer
that,
but
I
I
just
want
to
say
how
much
I
appreciate
everybody's
comments
tonight.
A
I
know
that
it's
going
to
really
in
change
the
way
that
we
all
look
at
the
budget
and
the
next
time
it
comes
back.
A
lot
of
our
comments
and
thoughts
will
be
implemented
into
the
presentation,
and
so
I
I
just
appreciate
the
conversation
here
tonight.
It's
been
very
robust
and
it's
one
of
the
first
of
six,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
weigh
in
and
to
learn,
what's
possible.
So
tony,
would
you
like
to
finish
up
here.
F
Here
I
just
have
a
couple
of
just
next
step
slides,
and
so,
if
you
could
pass
on
to
the
next
step,
oh
one
more
more
one,
more
click,
please!
So
we
do
have
a
couple
of
rate
presentations
coming
up
in
front
of
you
utilities
rates
you
can
see
generally
what
their
total
increases
are
in
21
and
22..
Director
o'tal
will
be
here.
I
believe
it's
november
9th
and
we'll
talk
more.
Most
of
those
dollars
are
coming
from
wholesale
and
aging
infrastructure.
F
Development
services
will
be
in
front
of
you
next
week.
Director
brennan
will
be
here,
and
he
should
be
able
to
speak
to
your
contract.
Employee
question
mayor.
You
can
see
here
that
the
the
rates
are
minimal
one
to
four
percent
depending
on
fee,
we're,
not
anticipating
a
change
in
fire
inspection
fee,
we'll
bring
that
back
to
you
anyways.
F
I
believe
that
comes
back
to
you
on
november
16th
and
with
that
the
next
slide,
please
ke
and
again
so
here's
what's
ahead
of
us,
we'll
be
ensure
to
make
sure
we
save
time
to
carve
out
to
make
sure
you've
got
time
to
to
get
your
questions
answered
either
through
the
packet
or
through
verbal
briefings.
Send
your
questions
in
we're
ready
to
help
help.
You
learn
as
much
as
you
need
to
learn
about
the
budget
we're
here.
A
Wow
great
presentation,
great
discussion.
Thank
you
very
much.
You're
very
welcome.
Okay.
We
have
a
land
use
issue
coming
up
here
tonight,
with
consideration
of
cuesta
del
sol
conditional
use,
permit
application.
Mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
that.
C
C
This
is
a
process
three
quasi-judicial
matter
and
tonight
will
be
the
council's
initial
consideration
of
of
this
matter.
Tonight,
council
is
going
to
hear
a
brief
staff
report
and
we'll
hear
the
opportunity
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions.
If
you
have
any,
no
action
is
being
sought
by
the
council
this
evening
on
staff
will
return
at
a
future
meeting
tentatively
set
for
november
2nd
for
our
final
action
joining
us
this
evening
is
nick
matt
melcinos
our
deputy
city
attorney,
as
well
as
lidstead
the
language
director
from
development
services.
C
S
City
manager,
because
this
is
a
quasi-judicial
matter,
mayor
robinson,
I
recommend
that
you
give
council
members
an
opportunity
to
disclose
on
the
record
any
x-party
communications
they
may
have
had
with
the
applicant
or
any
others
supporting
or
opposing
the
application
to
most
efficiently
enable
council
members.
Disclosures
staff
have
searched
all
emails
received
at
council
bellevue.gov
and
the
individual
council
members
city
email
addresses.
S
Therefore,
council
members
need
to
only
disclose
any
contacts
received
other
than
through
city
accounts
if
any
ex
parte
communications
are
disclosed.
A
council
member
should
state,
on
the
record
the
name
of
the
person
who
contacted
you,
the
date
or
approximate
date
of
the
contact,
the
method
of
the
communication
and
the
substance
of
the
communication.
A
So
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
raise
your
hand
if
any
of
you
have
had
any
ex
parte
contacts
that
you
would
like
to
disclose.
T
So
the
project
is
the
puesta
del
sol
elementary
school,
and
the
project
has
is,
at
the
intersection,
151st
place,
northeast
and
main
street.
This
is
a
conditional
use.
Permit
the
powerpoint
that
you're
looking
at
right
now
is
actually
the
powerpoint
that
was
presented
for
the
hearing
examiner
at
the
public
hearing
of
september
10th
in
2020,
and
is
part
of
the
record
that
you
have
in
your
files.
T
The
bogey
school
district
is
requesting
conditional
use
approval.
This
is
a
process,
three
decision
to
demolish
the
bellwood
elementary
school
and
replace
it
with
a
new
elementary
school
serving
the
puesta
del
sol
community.
The
pasta
del
sol
program
is
a
spanish
language,
immersion
school
that
draws
students
from
all
over
the
district.
The
proposed
construction
period
for
this
is
2021
and
they're.
Looking
at
completion
in
2022
for
the
project,
there
was
also
a
critical
areas.
Land
use
permit
associated
with
the
with
this
conditional
use
permit.
T
The
kalup
was
reviewed
and
approved
back
in
march
of
last
year,
and
at
that
time
there
were
no
appeals
of
this
critical
area.
Slime
use
permit
so
puesto
genzo,
as
I
mentioned,
is
a
choice
school
and
it
is
centrally
they're
trying
to
centrally
locate
the
stash
immersion
program.
They
want
to
increase
the
program
access
and
also
create
a
community
resource
in
the
neighborhood
you'll,
see
on
their
screen.
T
This
is
the
existing
bellwood
site.
You
can
see
where
my
cursor
is
located.
This
is
the
existing
bellwood
school
to
the
west
is
kelsey
creek.
The
orange
line
you
see
running
through
there
and
this
drawing
has
also
been
out
in
the
critical
areas
that
are
on
site
and
also
to
the
west
of
the
site
to
the
east
and
the
north
of
the
site
is
residential
community.
T
The
existing
bellwood
facility
has
been
around
for
quite
a
while
and
is
ready
for
an
update,
so
it's
kind
of
exciting
to
see
this
project
coming
through,
but
you
can
see
that
right
now
the
project
has
been
used.
The
school
was
used
as
a
swing
school.
There
have
been
multiple
schools
moved
in
there,
while
other
schools
were
under
construction,
so
this
would
be
the
first
permanent
school
in
there
for
quite
a
few
years.
T
The
project
proposes
to
gain
access
for
both
parent
traffic
and
some
of
the
the
students
to
come
in
through
150
first
place,
northeast,
which
is
to
the
south
of
the
school
151st
place
northeast,
currently
acts
only
as
a
southbound
egress
from
the
school.
So
there
would
be
a
change
in
the
ingress
and
egress
would
both
come
off
of
151st,
the
the
ingress
for
the
buses
and
teachers
staff
would
also
would
come
in
off.
Northeast
4th
place,
which
is
at
the
northeast
corner
of
the
site.
T
Northeast
4th
place
is
not
being
recommended
for
any
sort
of
improvements
at
this
time
due
to
the
existing
nature
of
the
street,
and
the
school
district
will
be
working
on
the
safe
routes
to
school
and
they
are
pushing
most
of
the
staff
and
students
and
walkers
to
cover
access.
T
Despite
alternative
analysis,
seven
different
schemes-
they
really
put
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
into
finding
this
game.
That
was
the
most
successful
for
all
of
the
people
using
the
site.
The
things
they
were
really
looking
at
were
safety
and
operations
also
neighborhood
concerns
impacts,
the
environment
and
also
cost
and
schedule
scheme.
Two
is
this
proposed
site
plan,
which
is
the
one
that
was
ultimately
approved
by
the
neighborhood
by
the
school
district
and
also
by
development
services?
So
in
this
you
could
see
at
the
northeast
corner
of
the
site.
T
The
buses
will
enter
the
site
northeast.
Fourth,
they
will
do
a
roundabout
and
egress
back
off
northeast.
Fourth
and
then
parent
and
visitors
will
come
in
down
at
the
south
end.
They
will
also
do
a
loop
and
come
around
and
move
out
one
of
the
basic
tenets
of
trying
to
design
these
schools
for
site
planning
is
to
actually
separate
bus
service
and
the
normal
users
of
the
site.
So
they
do
find
that
that
makes
for
a
safer
site
plan
the
site
is:
the
proposal
does
comply
with
land
use
code,
development
standards.
T
It
is
in
an
r5
land
use
district.
The
site
area
is
just
under
10
acres
and
they're
at
about
18
lot
coverage
55
impervious
surface
and
they
meet
all
other
criteria.
They
do
have
151
parking
stalls
on
site,
so
they
can
accommodate
not
only
their
daily
need,
but
also
the
need
for
different
event
parking.
T
The
architectural
plans
are
quite
you
can
see
the
difference
between
what
was
there
previously
and
what
we've
got
today,
but
these
architectural
plants
were
based
with
the
posted,
also
program
in
mind,
and
you
can
see
that
reflected
in
some
of
the
color
scheme.
T
T
This
is
a
cross-section
of
how
151st
will
be
completed.
You
can
note
that
they're,
due
to
the
neighbors
requests,
we've
been
able
to
provide
parking
on
both
sides
of
the
street
so
that
the
neighbors
still
have
the
parking
that
they
desired
and
then
they
will
have
two
nine
foot
drive
lanes
and
the
school
district
has
been
working
with
the
neighbors
and
has
letters
of
intent
from
all
of
the
neighbors
from
151st
place
northeast
to
allow
access
for
construction,
so
they'll
have
some
construction
easements,
but
no
permanent
easements
with
this
construction.
T
This
is
a
view
west
on
main
street.
One
of
the
other
improvements
that
you
will
see
as
you
review
the
project
further,
is
that
we
will
be
right.
Adding
a
left
turn
lane
onto
151st
place
northeast
from
main
street
transportation,
did
conclude
that
this
proposal
will
provide
sufficient
access
for
development
of
the
new
school
and
student,
pedestrian
and
bicycle
access.
Will
be
improved,
we're
going
to
be
establishing
a
school
zone
and
also
adding
a
crosswalk
and
flashing
beacon
on
main
street
to
further
facilitate
that
parent
education
will
be
provided
prior
to
opening.
T
The
conditional
use
decision
criteria
that
we
are
looking
at
is
at
land
use
code,
2030b
140..
A
the
conditional
use
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
b.
Design
is
compatible
with
and
responds
to
the
existing
or
intended
character,
appearance,
quality
of
development,
physical
characteristics
of
the
subject,
property
and
immediate
vicinity
and
conditional
use
will
be
served
by
adequate
public
facilities,
including
streets
and
fire
protection.
A
Can
you
tell
us
what
we
can
expect
next
on
this
like
when?
Is
it
coming
back
to
council
and
in
what
form.
T
S
Yeah,
so
the
it
would
be
on
november
2nd
and
then
at
that
time,
like
liz
said
it
would
be
for
the
council's
decision
and
with
regard
to
making
that
type
of
decision.
Since
it's
a
process,
three,
the
city
council,
shall
not
accept
any
new
information
written
or
oral
on
the
application,
but
shall
consider
in
deciding
upon
the
application
the
complete
record
developed
before
the
hearing
examiner
the
recommendation
of
the
hearing
examiner
and
comments
of
a
community
council
with
jurisdiction.
S
As
this
the
site
is
located
within
the
ebcc.
That
would
be
the
the
comments
of
the
community
council.
That's
being
referenced.
There.
A
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you!
Well,
I'm
gonna
go
around
and
let
everybody
question
or
comment
in
this
order:
council
members
on
stokes
robertson,
lee
barksdale,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house
and
then
myself
so
bruzan.
Let
you
start
us
off.
E
Mayor,
I
don't
have
any
questions
at
this
time.
Okay,.
L
Have
specific
questions
about
the
application?
I've
already
read
the
hearing,
examiner's
decision
I
didn't
see.
I
have
maybe
because
I
haven't
looked
at
all
of
the
exhibits,
yet
I
didn't
see
any
comments
from
the
community
council
liz.
Were
there
any
specific
input
or
comments
from
the
community
council
or
nick
whoever.
S
Sure,
within
the
record,
there
is,
I
think,
the
agendas
from
the
the
hearings
that
were
done
at
the
ebcc
and
there's
also
some
inherited
notations
in
there
as
well.
But
liz
can
explain
further,
what's
within
the
record,
with
regard
to
that.
T
As
nick
mentioned,
there
are
staff
notes
in
the
file
that
refer
to
comments
that
happened
during
that
ebcc
hearing
so
you'll
see
that
and
you'll
also
see
some
comments
from
citizens
that
reflect
back
to
that
bbcc
courtesy
hearing
as
well.
L
S
Right
on
councilmember
robertson
for
the
the
minutes
that
were
received,
those
were
actually
the
minutes
that
were
approved
from
that
meeting
and
since
one
of
the
elements
of
that
the
council
can
consider
in
determining
whether
or
not
to
approve.
This
is
the
comments
of
the
community
council.
L
M
I
don't
know
but
yeah,
okay
yeah,
at
least
it's
not
as
restrictive
as
off
five.
For
example,
I
mean
I
would
not
want
it
to
be
r3
r1
r2
and
then
it
may
not
be
compatible.
It's
sticking
too
far
south
through
the
general
area,
but
you
may
have
come
through
your
land
use.
It's
it's
just
analogous
anyway,
so
already
yeah,
but
anyway,
regardless.
That's
just
my
question.
M
Yeah,
that's
fine!
Thank
you.
G
You
mayor,
yes,
it's
just
two
quick
questions
and
I
appreciate
the
presentation
tonight
so
one
there
was
no
appeal
to
the
hearing.
Examiner's
decision
is
that
is
that
correct?
That's
correct,
okay,
thank
you
and
then
on
the
traffic
mitigation.
I
know
there's
extensive
outreach
with
with
with
the
neighborhood
there,
but
what
I
noticed
in
the
packet
was
that
potentially
constructed
would
be
a
one
to
three
story,
so
obviously
that
would
impact
the
amount
of
students
and
that
would
impact
the
number
of
cars
etcetera.
G
T
T
That
number
of
students
is
in
the
approval
and
you'll
find
that
in
the
staff
report,
and
when
we
talk
about
it
being
one
to
three
stories,
it
was
actually
meant
to
say
that
some
of
the
areas
of
the
school
are
one
story,
and
there
is
one
area
that
has
three
stories.
So
it's
it's
still
the
same
project
as
one
project
that
we
reviewed.
G
Okay,
gotcha
and
the
and
the
neighborhoods
and
the
residents
there
were
happy
with
the
the
the
mitigation
as
it
relates
to
traffic.
T
Yes,
we
had
a
lot
of
support
at
the
public
meeting,
and
the
school
district
has
received
letters
of
intent
from
all
of
the
property
owners
to
the
south,
affirming
that
they
will
be
in
accordance
with
this
plan.
A
Welcome-
and
I
guess
the
only
question
that
I
had
was-
I
hope
that
there
are
we've
invested
whatever
we
need
to
to
make
this
a
very
safe
route
for
to
school,
for
the
people
and
the
children
who
are
walking
or
riding
their
bikes,
and
so
if
we
need
to
direct
any
of
our
safe
routes
to
school
money
from
our
levee
dollars.
I
hope
that
we're
doing
that,
it's
really
important.
A
Okay,
well
since
we're
not
taking
any
action
tonight,
that's
our
information
for
now
and
then
we'll
have
a
chance
to
read
the
input
from
the
east
bellevue
community
council
and
make
a
decision
next
week.
Did
you
think
november
2nd?
No,
but
oh
you
said
that
sorry
november,
2nd,
perfect,
okay,
great!
Thank
you.
