A
Excuse
me:
I
forgot
something
sure
we
I'm
sorry,
we
have
a
proclamation
tonight
and
it's
a
very
important
one.
This
week
is
Childhood
cancer
awareness
week
and
we
have
our
Deputy
Mayor
reading
our
Proclamation.
A
B
We'll
start
over
that
is
10
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening
for
oral
Communications
and
I'll
remind
the
public
before
I
start
calling
names.
Oral
Communications
is
for
a
total
of
no
more
than
30
minutes.
Each
speaker
will
be
allowed
three
minutes
to
speak
and
we
can
only
allow
three
speakers
to
speak
to
any
one
particular
side
of
a
topic.
It
does
not
look
like
we're
going
to
run
into
any
any
issues
with
the
topics.
Our
first
speaker
is
David
bowling,
who
I
believe
is
joining
us
virtually.
B
Okay,
I
do
not
see
him
connected.
I
will
go
to
our
second
speaker,
who
is
Adria,
publan,
perfect
joining
us
in
person.
Thank
you.
G
Public
I
have
moved
to
Bellevue
four
years
ago
after
living
in
France
for
30
years,
and
I
am
here
tonight
to
speak
on
behalf
of
trees
for
livability
I
agreed
to
come
and
speak
with
you
after
signing
their
petition
for
stronger
tree
regulation,
simply
because
I
love,
trees,
I
didn't
even
realize
this
before
moving
to
the
huge
Forest
that
constitute
the
Pacific
Northwest,
but
I
just
love
hiking,
and
when
I
do
so,
I
can't
help
but
contemplate
the
fact
that
the
trees
around
us
are
old
enough
to
have
seen
the
first
settlers
arrive
in
the
area.
G
I
think
that
trees
are
amazing
because
they
provide
shelter
from
rain
during
the
long
months
of
winter.
They
also
provide
shelter
from
Sun
during
the
heat
waves.
Personally,
I
didn't
suffer
from
the
heat
waves
these
last
two
years,
because
I
never
got
hot,
because
my
house
is
in
the
shade
most
of
the
day,
so
it
stayed.
Nice
and
cool
trees
are
also
Habitat
to
a
wide
variety
of
Wildlife.
G
This
is
something
that's
very
remarkable
for
any
newcomer
here
in
Bellevue,
because
there
is
an
abundance
of
wildlife.
All
around
us,
even
in
the
very
residential
places,
that's
something
that
doesn't
wouldn't
be
possible
without
trees.
In
my
garden,
in
my
yard
alone,
I
have
four
rabbits:
I
have
a
bunch
of
squirrels
I.
Have
the
occasional
visit
of
a
family
of
raccoons?
G
My
heart
is
broken
when
I,
when
I
walk
around
my
neighborhood
and
I
just
see
these
beautiful
perfectly
healthy
trees,
getting
chopped
down
to
replace
a
1500
square
foot
Rambler
by
a
huge
5,
000
square
foot
single
family
mansion
with
almost
no
backyard
I
know
that
we
can't
control
the
way
people
live
their
lives,
but
I
strongly
believe
that
protecting
our
trees
is
which,
by
the
way,
provide
our
second
most
important
mean
of
absorbing
CO2
is
part
of
the
answer
to
live
more
sustainably.
So
please
let
us
keep
our
trees.
B
H
14216
Southeast
Eastgate
Drive
and
we
bought
our
home
in
1985..
So
we've
been
here
many
years
and
that's
because
bellevue's
a
wonderful
place
to
live
my
neighborhood's,
the
wonderful
place
to
to
be,
but
recently
things
are
changing
and
every
time
I
hear
a
backhoe
or
a
bulldozer
or
a
chainsaw.
My
heart
just
hurts
because
I
know
the
rose
bushes,
the
maples,
the
dogwoods,
the
cedar,
our
elders,
The
Cedars
and
the
Douglas
fir
are
being
cut
down
and
I
know.
The
previous
speaker
talked
about
some
of
the
reasons
we
need.
H
Our
trees
and
I
agree
with
those
I
go
back
to
the
beauty
of
them.
The
Privacy
we
get
the
noise
they
can
get
rid
of,
and
now
I'm
finding
I
look
more
at
concrete
and
bricks,
and
glass
and
fences
in
other
people's
homes.
And
it's
really
sad
and
of
course
she
mentioned
the
shade.
From
this
hot
summer.
We've
had
the
home
for
our
wildlife
and
to
know
that
trees
in
nature
have
healing
effects
on
us.
H
It
releases
Stress
and
Anxiety,
and
it's
so
important
and
of
course,
the
Clean
Air,
with
the
pollution,
the
carbon
and
now
the
fire.
The
smoke
from
all
the
fires,
these
trees,
that
are
being
cut
down,
aren't
doing
going
to
be
able
to
do
their
work
like
they
could
so
I
understand,
change
is
happening,
but
I
think
we
can
have
a
say
and
a
control
over
how
it
goes
about,
and
we
need
to
do
something
before
it's
too
late.
Foods
accept
recommendations
from
the
trees
for
livability
study.
We
need
stricter
codes
and
stronger
enforcement.
H
I
Good
evening
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
new
in
house
and
the
rest
of
this
prestigious
Council,
my
name
is
Billy
heatherington
I'm,
a
proud
member
of
Labor's,
Local,
Union
242,
and
my
comments
this
evening
are
around
the
preliminary
23-24
capital
budget.
Looking
over
the
executive
summary
that
was
included
in
the
agenda,
I
applaud
the
city,
council,
city
manager
and
staff
for
advancing
programs
in
public
safety,
clean
streets,
affordable
housing,
equity
and
inclusion.
I
would
hope
that
the
council
and
City
manager's
office
will
continue
to
have
great
conversation
and
dialogue.
I
We'll
continue
the
great
conversation
dialogue
that
we've
had
around
apprenticeship
utilization
over
the
past
year
by
funding
a
program
in
Bellevue
that
creates
tremendous
opportunity
to
leverage
your
Capital
major
capital
projects
by
creating
Economic
Opportunity
for
the
Bellevue
Community.
It's
a
win-win
for
the
city
and
its
residents.
The
Seattle
Building
Trades,
Labor's
Local
Union
242
believe
strongly
that
an
apprenticeship
utilization
program
is
the
right,
Next
Step
for
Bellevue
and
aligns
well
with
the
city's
commitment
to
vision
and
priorities
under
their
economic
and
Workforce
Development.
I
We
also
feel
that
the
city's
infrastructure
Works
should
be
an
extension
of
the
K-12
system.
Educational
system
through
state
registered
attorney
apprenticeship
opportunities
right
here
in
Bellevue,
at
Interlake,
High
School
they've
built
a
pipeline
to
these
opportunities
through
their
state
registered
pre-apprenticeship
program.
It's
a
CTE
program
there
at
Interlake,
High,
School
apprenticeship
is
an
improvement,
is
approve
and
earned.
While
you
learn
model
that
provides
a
pathway
to
the
middle
class
for
under
underserved
communities
while
giving
its
participants
a
transferable
skill.
I
Statistics
show
that
nine
months
after
the
completion
of
apprenticeship
program,
91
percent
of
all
those
that
graduate
are
still
employed
since
spending
two
and
a
half
years
of
my
life
working
on
the
Salesforce
building.
Just
outside
these
doors.
A
couple
blocks
here
in
Bellevue,
the
city
has
really
seen
a
skylines
change.
I
was
admiring
some
of
the
cranes
before
the
meeting
here
too
and
they're
always
off
to
me,
but
the
addition
of
those
dozen
or
more
buildings
that
are
going
in
downtown
right
now.
I
Currently
in
the
South
Tran
or
Sound
Transit
East
link
extension
that'll,
be
opening
next
year
is
going
to
see
the
infrastructure
needs
only
increase.
Several
cities
in
King
County
have
recognized
the
importance
of
apprenticeship
utilization
and
the
impacts
it
has
on
building
tomorrow's
Workforce
I
would
urge
the
council
to
do
the
same
by
allocating
resources
in
the
2324
Budget
on
this
important
matter.
Thank
you
and
I'll
concede
my
time.
J
Good
evening,
mayor,
Deputy,
Mayor
and
council
members,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
all
you've
done
to
help
get
shelter
and
service
to
men
experiencing
homelessness.
On
the
east
side,
I
know,
we've
all
been
working
very
hard
to
get
a
permanent
place
for
these
men
who
fall
into
homelessness
to
call
home.
J
J
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
decisions
you've
made
to
help
the
shelter
be
built
and
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
just
a
little
bit
longer
a
few
more
months
in
the
Lincoln
Center.
So
the
shelter
can
be
built.
Look
forward
to
celebrating
with
you
all
in
the
new
location
in
the
first
half
of
next
year
and
I
hope
you
have
a
great
evening.
K
Thank
you,
Robinson
deputy
mardornos
and
council
members
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
providing
me
an
opportunity
to
speak
on
the
save
Coal
Creek
and
the
Isola
plan
development
for
Lakewood,
Boulevard,
I'm,
Dr,
Thomas,
doe
and
I'm.
A
35-year
resident
of
the
somerset
neighborhood
of
Bellevue,
Coal,
Creek
and
Cougar
Mountain
Wildland
parks
are
my
backyard
and
I
sincerely
thank
the
city
and
its
staff
for
their
work
on
trail,
maintenance
and
excellent
informational
signage.
K
I
am
in
awe
and
gratitude
to
the
activists
like
Harvey,
Manning
and
David
kapler
who's
speaking
later
tonight,
who,
40
years
ago,
worked
with
a
farsighted
Bellevue
city
council
and
King
County
officials
to
make
those
Parks
possible.
What
an
achievement
I
am
asking
you,
the
officials
of
today
to
be
far-sighted,
like
your
predecessors
of
40
years
ago,
and
consider
what
you
can
do
for
the
people
of
Bellevue.
Who
will
be
here
40
years
from
now.
K
The
usage
of
Coal
Creek
Park
is
strong
today
and
parking
is
saturated
at
Red
town.
The
demands
will
only
increase
dramatically
in
the
future.
The
Pedestrian
Crossing
from
Red
town
to
Coal
Creek
is
an
extreme
danger.
I'm
surprised,
more
people
have
been
killed
there
there's
an
urgent
need
to
use
the
land
in
question
to
support
recreational
uses
while
preserving
its
historic
and
natural
ambiance.
K
K
Finally,
I'm
concerned
about
North
Fork
Falls,
which
is
the
waterfall
on
Lakemont
Boulevard's,
welcome
to
Bellevue
sign,
unlike
other
waterfalls
in
the
park.
The
lip
of
this
fall
is
in
glacial
till
very
soft
material
rather
than
Bedrock.
It
is
eroding
and
focusing
the
runoff
from
a
new
development
into
it
is
only
going
to
increase
its
threat.
K
L
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
the
council
and
mayor
and
Deputy
Mayor.
My
name
is
David
kapler
I'm,
the
vice
president
for
advocacy
at
the
Issaquah
Alps
Trails
Club
is
a
co-op's.
Trails
Club
was
formed
in
1979.
L
M
L
Our
mayor
Mary
Lou
Polly
a
bit
bit
bit
the
issue
and
took
it
on
and
was
very
concerned
about
that
she
ended
up
working
with
the
trust,
Republic
land,
the
state
and
the
county,
and
raised
11
million
dollars
to
purchase
property
on
Newport
way.
Now,
from
the
from
the
trans,
the
Issaquah
Transit
Center
in
one
block
walk,
you
are
in
three,
you
can
enter
3
000
Acres
of
open
space
from
the
urban
core
in
Issaquah,
two
block
walk
and
you
can
be
in
3,
000
Acres
of
open
space.
L
Bellevue
city
council,
by
making
the
change
to
not
on
the
quasi-judicial
issue,
you
have
the
chance
to
be
activists
on
making
sure
good
things
happen
in
the
on
Cougar
Mountain
and
that's
going
to
be
especially
important
right
now.
The
the
safety
from
exit
to
for
Bellevue
people
or
people
from
the
West
to
enter
red
town
is
is
very
much
of
a
concern.
L
You
can
see
the
huge
difference
between
what
Bellevue
is
able
to
do
in
their
parks
in
King,
County
and
part
of
it
is
being
where
one
side
of
the
world
land
the
other
on
the
that,
but
please
to
be
an
activist
role
as
city
council
members
and
a
mayor
and
a
deputy
mayor
and
work
to
get
safe
and
proper
access
and
facilities
for
Cougar,
Mountain,
Regional,
Wildland
Park
and
your
own
Park
system.
Thank
you.
N
N
Now,
okay,
I
am
Terry,
Burnette
I've
lived
I'm,
a
Seattle
native
and
I
have
been
living
in
Bellevue
for
the
last
several
years.
I
hadn't
really
wanted
to
move
over
to
Bellevue,
but
and
I
learned
about
the
green
belt
and
I
love
living
in
a
forest.
Just
minutes
from
downtown
I'm
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
codes
presented
within
the
trees
for
livability
proposal,
I
have
to
Echo
a
lot
of
things
that
the
first
two
speakers
mentioned.
N
I
do
love
all
the
Big.
Trees
I've
got
hers
and
Cedar,
and
a
pine
and
Willows,
and
an
oak
tree
all
back
here,
full
of
wildlife
that
is
constantly
changing
birds
that
change
throughout
the
seasons.
N
N
It
also
bonded
with
my
neighbors
quite
a
bit
over
the
forest,
with
a
neighbor
boy,
finding
a
nest
in
my
backyard,
well
watering
while
I
was
away
and
leaving
it
for
me
to
enjoy
another
neighbor
calling
out
Eagles
loudly
more
recently
when
I
and
I
was
able
to
step
out
along
with
his
children
and
Marvel.
At
two
Eagles,
starting
just
below
and
just
above
my
power
lines,
swooping
low
and
close
to
us,
not
something
very
many
people
get
to
see
while
living
in
a
city
also
Cena
a
heron.
Do
a
similar
thing.
N
Bellevue
has
a
long
been
known
as
a
city
in
a
park,
and
it
is
a
wonderful
place
to
be,
but
it
also
needs
to
be
a
city
that
is
a
park
by
keeping
trees
that
stretch
through
our
neighborhoods,
connecting
all
those
beautiful
spaces
that
you've
traded
and
maintained
so
well.
Thank
you.
D
Hello,
mayor,
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
in-house
and
city
council.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
My
topic
is
the
proposed
Isola
planned
unit
development
on
Lakemont
Boulevard
in
South
Bellevue
for
the
past
five
years.
While
this
development
proposal
was
undergoing
review,
more
than
4
600
people
signed
the
save
Coal
Creek
petition
opposing
the
development.
Instead
of
35
homes,
isolated
from
city
services,
this
property
could
become
a
stellar
part
of
bellevue's,
Coal,
Creek,
Natural,
Area
or
perhaps
part
of
the
King
County
park
across
the
street.
D
The
Isola
property,
if
it
could
be
acquired,
would
widen
and
improve
the
existing
Wildlife
Corridor
between
Cougar
Mountain,
Regional,
Wildland
Park
and
the
Coal
Creek
Natural
Area,
and
it
could
provide
space
for
additional
trails
and
improved
access,
and
the
upcoming
Parks
Levy,
which
you've
approved,
identifies
some
top
expectations
for
the
money.
If
voters
approve
it
and
among
the
top
items,
are
preserving
open
space,
Wildlife
corridors
and
developing
trails,
so
this
is
would
be
a
great
property
to
acquire.
But,
as
you
know,
there
is
a
hitch.
D
D
What
can
Bellevue
city
council
folks
do
about
this?
You
may
not
want
to
be
the
lead
on
this,
but
you
folks
have
incredible
influence.
You
can
use
your
contacts
in
the
development
Community
to
help
open
a
conversation
with
Isola.
They
need
to
hear
from
you
that
there
is
immense
public
interest
in
this
property.
Remember
those
4
600
petition,
signers.
D
You
can
work
with
your
colleagues
at
the
county
and
state
government
to
develop
a
funding
package.
Safeco
Creek
has
already
heard
strong
interest
from
County
Council.
We
are
also
reaching
out
to
our
state
representatives,
because
these
parks
are
within
15
miles
of
a
million
people
more
than
a
million
people
and
finally
safe
Coal
Creek
appreciates
the
really
good
planning
that
Bellevue
does.
This
is
a
city
that
plans
ahead
for
for
Parks
Acquisitions
in
most
years,
the
budget
allows
one
to
two
million
dollars
to
be
set
aside
for
this
purpose.
D
M
Good
day,
everyone
I
just
want
to
say
on
the
record
that
if
I
had
to
sing
a
song
today
it
would
be
I
need
thee
every
hour
and
the
reason
why
is
because
honorable
Michael
B
Fuller
frequented
this
chamber
here
discussing
issues
that
are
very
important
to
me
because
I'm,
an
indigenous
black
female,
and
so
we
lose
some
soldiers
along
the
way,
am
I
right,
but
I
think
the
straw
that
broke
the
camel's
back.
M
We
were
sitting
in
City
Hall
and
we
have
some
seats
where
everybody
can
sit
and
a
guard
approached
us.
We
were
just
sitting
there
waiting
to
go
up
to
the
chamber
for
the
two
o'clock
meeting
and
he
asked
us
why
we
were
sitting
there
and
we
were
like
what
and
so
red
flag
for
Michael
to
do
something
like
that
to
him.
So
we
said
we're
going
to
the
meeting.
He
said
there
isn't
any
meeting.
The
meeting
is
canceled.
M
The
meeting
wasn't
canceled
I
said
Michael,
let's
get
on
the
elevator,
so
we
got
on
the
elevator.
So
then
I
guess
it
wasn't
over
East
I
just
heard
this
all
this
shouting
because
he
was
so
taken
aback
and
I
feel
like
they
killed
him,
because
Michael's
body
was
riddled
with
cancer
before
he
died,
and
it's
interesting
that
you
made
mention
about
the
children
with
cancer.
M
So
anyway
he
was
a
foreigner.
Also.
These
are
Grievous
circumstances
because
he
had
no
right
to
approach
us
we're
just
you
know
they
have
a
sign
that
says
black
lives
matter.
I
gave
you
each
a
copy
of
how
they
responded
about.
Why
that
signage
is
there
and
we're
sitting
right
there
in
front
of
the
sign?
M
So
that's
what
I'm
dealing
with
now,
it's
like
is
City
Hall,
a
safe
place,
I
think
not
just
because
of
what
happened,
and
so
the
next
phase
in
life
I,
don't
really
know
it's
kind
of
uncertain,
but
I
keep
coming
because
I
think
it's
important
for
you
to
hear
from
all
kinds
of
people
he
was
disabled.
You
all
recognize
the
Americans
with
disability,
Disabilities
Act,
the
older
Americans,
Act
and
you're,
going
to
continue
to
see
handicapped
and
disabled
people.
B
E
My
dirty
Dev
Nazi
fascism,
psychopath
Mafia
cartel
my
name,
Alex
Zimmerman
I
won't
speak
right
now
about
something,
but
as
I
speak
before
100
times
for
last
30
plus
year
or
35.,
I
speak
right
now
to
this
hundred
fifty
thousand
people
who
live
in
Bellevue
and
a
little
bit
surprised,
whereas
these
people
don't
use
a
constitutional
right,
be
a
citizen
elect
Council.
Who,
here
to
me,
look
like
a
seven
zombie.
You
know
what
is
mean,
what
is
bring
a
city
to
Total
collapse
and
every
year
every
month
says,
go
worse
and
worse.
E
So,
right
now,
I
speak
to
everybody.
What
is
the
reason
elect
a
Democrat?
What
is
make
us
life?
Worse,
not
better.
What
is
the
reason
for
constitution
for
election
when
we
can
can
elect
people
who
posed
to
be
doing
this
life
better
every
year,
not
worse?
This
is
exactly
what
has
happened
right
now
with
Bellevue
I
ask
you
who
control
is
City
hundred
fifty
thousands
live
with
seven.
E
Of
course
you
know
what
this
mean
or
Microsoft
Amazon
Google,
who
controls
this.
Who
brings
this
thousands
and
thousand
people
and
50
percentage,
probably
from
Jungle?
You
know
what
this
mean,
what
is
not
real,
American
I,
ask
you
what
is
happened
with
sound
transistori.
A
hundred
billion
dollars
points
is
him
so,
for
example,
King
country
Council
Balducci
supports
this
in
extreme
point,
you
know
what
is
mean.
E
You
look
right
now,
I
drive
around
I
talk,
my
God
what's
happened
when
trains
start
going
every
15
minutes
or
20
minutes
what
has
happened
where
I
am
right
now
in
Bellevue,
a
nice
beautiful
city?
What
is
supposed
to
be
half
tree?
No
more
asphalt,
no
more
building,
no
more
people
who
not
American
I'm
sick
from
this.
Is
this
exactly
what
has
happened?
All
my
life
I
fight
for
America,
all
my
life?
What
does
I
come
right
now?
What
is
I
see
right
now?
E
It's
totally
confused
me
what
War,
World
War
III
an
atomic
bomb
this
exactly
as
future
Waters.
We
have
right
now,
stop
elect
Democrat
everybody.
You
know
for
many
years
they
destroy
Bellevue
King
country
in
America.
It's
exactly
what
has
happened.
They
not
are
normal.
They
are
psychopath.
More
dangerous
than
Nazi
are
communist,
so
I
speak
right
now
everybody
who
have
IQ
more
than
60
start
thinking
stand
up
change
America
back
stand
up
America.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
A
So
next
we
have
the
consent
calendar.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent,
calendar.
A
O
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
The
first
public
hearing
tonight
is
on
the
proposed
land
use
code
Amendment
relating
to
Temporary
Public
Safety
facilities
joining
us
this
evening
are
Nick
Whipple
our
code
and
policy
planning
manager
as
well
as
Matthew
Menard
senior
planner,
both
from
the
development
services.
With
that
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
Nick
for
some
opening
comments,
Nick
great
I.
P
Thank
you
and
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
noon,
house
and
city
council.
As
city
manager,
Miyaki
and
the
mayor
mentioned.
We
are
back
tonight
for
a
public
hearing
on
the
temporary
Public
Safety
facility,
Luca
Orlando's
code
Amendment.
This
was
last
before
the
Council
on
September
6th,
at
which
point
the
council
did
direct
us
to
schedule
the
public
hearings.
So
we
did
provide
notice
of
this
public
hearing
and
we
have
an
ordinance
prepared
for
Action
this
evening
if
Council
wishes.
P
So
the
recommended
action
tonight
is
to
hold
the
public
hearing
on
ordinance
6676
and
then,
following
the
public
hearing,
consider
adopting
ordinance
6676
so
for
our
agenda.
We
are
going
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
objectives
of
this
land
use
code,
Amendment
and
the
different
components
of
the
Luca
as
well.
We'll
talk
about
the
process,
including
just
a
response
to
questions
that
were
raised
at
the
September
6
study
session.
Q
Thank
you
Nick
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
neon
house
and
members
of
council.
I
will
start
with
discussing
what
a
public
safety
facility
is
and
how
our
code
addresses
those
so
essentially
a
public
safety
facilities
of
silly
that
is
permitted
under
a
declared
natural
disaster
or
unforeseen
emergency
circumstance.
Now
it
does
need
to
be
declared
by
the
city
manager
before
we
would
allow
a
temporary
Public
Safety
facility,
an
example
of
that
is
currently
the
men's
overnight
shelter
at
Lincoln
Center.
Q
So
the
objectives
of
this
Luca,
this
Luca
is
Administrative
only
basically,
what
it
does
is
allow
for
multiple
extensions,
so
it
doesn't
change
any
of
the
criteria
for
approving
a
temporary
Public
Safety
facility.
It
ensures
continuity
of
services
throughout
the
emergency
circumstances.
So,
at
this
point
in
time,
if
an
emergency
circumstance
was
going
to
last
for
more
than
36
months,
we
would
have
to
discontinue
that
emergency
circumstance.
This
would
allow
that
or
discontinue
that
our
temporary
Public
Safety
facilities.
Sorry
this
would
allow
that
facility
to
continue
on
past
that
36th
month
period.
Q
Again
it
does
allow
cfh
to
continue
operating
their
men's
overnight,
shelter
at
Lincoln
Center
as
they
prepare
to
open
their
their
new
shelter,
which
is
expected
in
completion
of
q1
of
2023.
As
again,
you
heard
from
public
comment,
so
the
proposed
Luca
there's
two
proposed
changes.
It
revises
the
start
period
for
the
Luca,
so
it
would
start
at
the
date
of
approval,
rather
than
the
date
of
beginning
of
operations
for
the
temporary
Public
Safety
facility.
Now
this
is
to
be
more
consistent
with
our
current
code.
It
also
gives
us
a
paper
trail.
Q
So
it's
a
it's.
A
little
bit
easier
for
us
to
understand
when
the
facility
began.
It
would
allow
multiple
12-month
extensions,
a
where
appropriate,
supported
by
that
emergency
declaration.
I
should
note
that
you
would
not
be
able
to
extend
a
temporary
Public
Safety
facility
beyond
the
declared
emergency.
So
once
that
declared
emergency
is
over,
the
temporary
Public
Safety
facility
would
have
to
cease
operations
again
going
back
to
the
Men's
Shelter
at
Lincoln
Center.
Q
Addressing
the
question
from
from
the
last
meeting
which
we
were
questioned,
you
know
why
not
set
some
boundaries
at
this.
Why
unlimited?
We
do
think
that
there
are
safeguards
within
the
code
to
ensure
that,
even
with
unlimited
extensions,
there
won't
be
a
significant
negative
impact
to
the
people
of
Bellevue.
The
extensions
are
limited
to
that
emergency
period,
as
I
mentioned,
that's
at
the
discretion
of
the
director
of
development
services,
so
there
is
some
wiggle
room
there
for
for
them
to
make
that
call.
Q
It's
also
that
director
can
condition
the
approval
of
temporary
Public
Safety
facilities
to
make
sure
they
are
compatible
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
So
if
we
do
think
there
is
some
incompatibility
there,
there
can
be
some
sideboards
put
on
that
I.
In
contrast
with
our
current
code,
it
will
allow
us
flexibility
to
allow
that
continuity
throughout
the
emergency
period
rather
than
having
that
hard
end
date,
which
would
force
a
cease
of
operations
when
they
may
be
providing
vital
Services
as
the
current
men's
overnight.
Q
Shelter
is,
and
we
are
relying
again
on
the
city
manager
and
the
development
services
director
to
have
the
the
best
interests
of
the
people
of
Bellevue
in
mind
to
ensure
that
that
everything
is
compatible
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood
the
process
of
this
Luca.
As
Nick
mentioned,
we
did
have
a
study
session
on
September
6,
where
it
was
requested
that
we
move
it
on
to
this
public
hearing.
We
did
provide
a
joint
notice
of
application
and
notice
of
public
Hearing.
Q
There
are
three
decision
criteria
in
the
land
use
code
that
the
amendment
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
We
do
believe
it
is
specifically
comprehensive
plan
policy
n-4,
which
is
the
plan
and
prepare
for
the
response,
recovery
and
mitigation
of
potential
disasters
and
Hazards
we're
going
to
press
on
this
again.
This
Luca
allows
continuity
of
services
and
safety
facilities
throughout
an
emergency
circumstance.
We
do
think
we
that
meets
that
criteria,
that
this
amendment
will
enhance
the
public
health
safety
and
Welfare.
Q
We
again
we're
allowing
for
more
flexibility
with
temporary
Public
Safety
facilities,
enhancing
that
safety
and
Welfare
of
the
citizens
of
Bellevue,
and
the
amendment
is
not
contrary
to
the
best
interests
of
the
citizens
and
property
owner
owners
of
the
city
of
Bellevue.
As
I
discussed,
there
are
some
sideboards
some
conditioning
allowances
to
make
sure
that
any
temporary
Public
Safety
facilities
will
be
compatible
with
neighborhoods
and
protecting
the
citizens
of
Bellevue
in
an
emergency
circumstances,
obviously
important
to
those
citizens.
Q
A
Great
great
presentation,
so
this
provides
a
smooth
transition
for
the
congregations
for
the
homeless
to
move
from
their
temporary
shelter
to
their
permanent
shelter
without
interrupting
Interruption
of
services.
Right,
okay,
any
comments
or
questions.
If
not
well,
excuse
me
move
on
to
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing.
B
For
a
comment,
thank
you
mayor.
No,
we
do
not
have
any
pre-registered
speakers.
So
at
this
point,
I
would
ask
if
there
is
anyone
joining
us
in
council
chambers
or
anyone
joining
us
virtually.
That
would
like
to
make
comment
to
the
council.
Please
raise
your
hand.
Okay,
I
see
Miss
Betsy
hammer
in
the
audience.
R
R
So
it's
wonderful
to
have
the
the
brand
new
shelter
going
in
at
Eastgate.
I
get
to
see
it
most
every
day,
traveling
on
I-90,
and
it's
really
coming
along
and
I
am
just
so
impressed
with
how
we
were
able
to
the
whole
city
was
able
to
step
up
to
the
plate
and
provide
the
Lincoln
Center
facility
for
the
men
experiencing
homelessness
and,
of
course,
great
kudos
to
a
former
council
member
Kevin
Wallace
for
his
efforts
in
in
that
Affair.
R
So
I
will
hope
that,
while
it
all
sounds
really
great,
I
really
hope
that
you
take
a
second
look
at
some
restrictions
and
not
just
put
all
the
faith
and
trust
of
the
city
of
Bellevue.
In,
of
course,
I
admire
the
city
manager
and
the
development
Services
director.
But
I
really
think
that
we
need
to
look
to
the
Future
and
not
just
take
it
as
one
little
this
one
particular
instance,
because
this
land
use
code
Amendment
will
have
an
impact
on
any
other
shelters
or
any
other
similar
facilities
going
forward.
R
So
I
think,
instead
of
just
I,
think
some
restrictions
would
would
be
in
order.
I
haven't
studied
it
completely
to
give
you
my
ideas
on
what
those
might
be,
but
I
think
just
moving
forward
and
also
the
I
believe
the
most
important
part
of
the
success
of
the
the
men's
shelter
going
forward
is
our
homeless
Services
uses
land
use
code
20.20.455,
and
what
congregations
for
the
homeless
has
repeatedly
said
is
that
the
good
neighbor
agreement
was
the
most
impactful
and
important
part
of
putting
that
entire
shelter
together
and
I.
R
I
really
believe
that
the
good
neighbor
agreement
should
be
included
in
anything
going
forward
with
these
temporary
services
and
anything
to
do
with
the
vulnerable
population
that
are
the
homeless,
Among
Us.
You
know
similar
to
the
child
care
land
use
code,
amendment
that
we're
considering
as
well.
Those
are
our
vulnerable
populations
and
we,
and
especially
the
city
council,
really
needs
to
pay
attention
to
how
we
are
protecting
them
and
how
we
are
accountable
for
them.
R
So,
thanks
again
for
your
great
service
and
I
must
say
that
public
Outreach,
via
next
door,
I
think,
is
really
wonderful
and
on
your
Facebook
pages
and
also
I've,
been
recommending
the
my
Bellevue
app,
not
every
city
has
it:
Kirkland
doesn't
have
it
so
when
I
gave
them
great
suggestions
to
use
it
for
it
I.
So
thanks
for
the
great
public
Outreach
and
please
consider
some
restrictions
thanks.
B
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
any
further
comments
or
questions
not
seeing
any
Azure
emotion,
I.
F
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Next,
we
have
something
that's
going
to
just
help
us
conform
with
state
law,
so
this
is
another
easy
one
go.
O
Ahead
members
you're
absolutely
right:
it
is
proposed
land
use
code
amendment
to
conform
Provisions
to
allow
more
than
12
children
in
a
family
child
care
home,
and,
as
you
mentioned,
it
is
to
be
consistent
with
state
law
that
was
recently
passed
joining
us
this
evening,
again
is
Nick
Whipple
at
our
code
and
policy
planning
manager,
while
I'm
with
Caleb
Miller
Senior
planner,
both
from
development
services,
to
provide
a
brief
staff
report.
P
Great
thank
you
and
good
evening
again
so
tonight
we
are
here
to
hold
a
public
hearing
on
the
family,
child
care,
home,
land
use,
code,
Amendment
or
Luca.
We
have
prepared
the
ordinance
for
adoption
if,
if
the
council
chooses
tonight-
and
this
item
was
at
study
session
on
September
6,
at
which
point
it
was
directed
to
schedule
this,
the
public
hearing
for
this
evening,
so
the
recommended
action
is
to
hold
the
public
hearing
on
ordinance
6677
and
then,
following
the
public
hearing,
consider
adopting
this
ordinance
and
for
our
agenda
this
evening.
P
We've
got
a
bit
of
background
on
family
child
care
homes,
including
how
they
are
regulated
under
the
land
use
code
today,
and
what
the
changes
in
state
law
would
would
do
in
terms
of
our
land
use
code
and
then
we'll
also
provide
some
objectives
for
the
Luca.
The
components
talk
through
the
process
that
got
us
to
tonight
and
then
close
with
the
ask
of
council.
S
Great
thank
you
Nick
and
good
evening,
mayor
Deputy,
Mayor
and
council
members,
so
this
Luca
responds
specifically
to
Senate
Bill
5237,
which
was
adopted
in
2021..
The
bill
included
many
different
Provisions
related
to
child
care
that
were
intended
to
both
expand
access
and
capacity
in
general,
but
also
address
an
acute
need
that
was
caused
by
the
Copa
19
pandemic,
specifically
section
313
of
this
bill
directed
the
department
of
children,
youth
and
families,
or
dcyf
to
establish
a
waiver
program
to
increase
capacity
for
home-based
child
care
to
more
than
12
children.
S
Dcyf
they're
Then,
followed
by
establishing
these
rules
in
early
2022..
As
part
of
these
rules,
they
laid
out
the
process
for
approving
the
waiver,
as
well
as
a
set
of
criteria.
These
criteria
include
the
provider
experience
and
their
licensing
history
with
dcyf
the
floor
area
of
their
home.
The
number
of
working,
toilets
and
Stat
to
child
ratios
and
age
group
limits.
S
S
This
includes
a
specific
reference
to
a
maximum
of
12
children
in
order
to
qualify
as
this
land
use,
and
then
it
also
limits
the
duration
of
child
care
to
no
more
than
24
hours
in
these
uses.
These
are
permitted
land
uses
in
residential
districts,
so
no
land
use
approval
is
needed.
To
cite
them,
they
can
just
move
into
a
home
unless,
of
course,
any
building
permit
is
needed
for
some
building
improvements
that
might
be
might
be
needed.
S
So,
in
terms
of
the
objectives
of
this
Luca,
this,
it
really
is
intended
to
remove
the
conflict
between
the
land
use
code
and
the
state
definitions.
To
respond
to
a
question.
From
the
last
meeting,
we
were
asked
whether
the
city
had
a
role
in
dcyf
licensing.
We
do
not
so
to
improve
the
ease
and
Clarity
of
administration
before
family
child
care
homes,
it's
best
to
have
no
conflict
between
the
local
and
state
definitions
of
these
uses.
S
This
will
also
improve
predictability
for
applicants
and
clean
up
the
outdated
references
to
State
agencies
and
legislation
that
were
in
the
code
at
this
time.
Specifically,
the
Luca
is
also
meant
to
comply
with
GMA
requirements.
Specifically,
these
City
cannot
impose
additional
requirements
for
these
family
child
care
home
uses
beyond
what
we
can
impose
for
single-family
homes,
so
we
can't
go
above
and
beyond
what
any
other
house
in
the
neighborhood
is
already
allowed
to
do
so.
To
get
into
these
specifics,
this
Luca
will
amend
the
definition
of
family
child
care
homes
in
2050-020.
S
S
S
Additionally,
as
I
noted,
the
Luca
will
also
revise
the
family
child
care
home
requirements
in
LEC
202170,
just
to
clean
up
specific,
outdated
references
that
are
no
longer
valid
and
finally,
I'll
just
note
that
all
other
related
Child
Care
standards-
and
this
is
for
both
larger
facilities
and
family
child
care
homes
will
remain
the
same
I'm
following
adoption.
S
In
terms
of
Luca
process
and
public
Outreach,
there
are
two
modes
of
Outreach.
First:
are
the
process
four
requirements
for
typical
for
Lucas,
so
this
would
be
the
notices
of
application,
as
well
as
the
public
hearing
that
is
being
held
tonight.
The
notice
of
application
in
public
hearing
was
a
combined
notice
that
was
issued
on
September,
8th
in
the
weekly
permit
bulletin
and
then
on
September
12th
in
the
Seattle
Times.
S
And
finally,
for
the
staff
recommendation
we
do,
we
will
respond
to
each
of
these
Luca
criteria.
As
noted
in
the
code,
the
first
is
whether
the
Luca
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
The
comprehensive
plan
does
contain
several
references
to
expansion
of
child
care
in
Bellevue,
specifically
policy
hs16
discusses
this
exact
strategy,
so
we
believe
that
by
expanding
the
capacity
for
child
care,
this
Luca
is
consistent
with
the
comp
plan.
S
The
next
is
whether
it
enhances
public
health
safety
or
welfare
Again
by
increasing
the
capacity
of
child
care
in
Bellevue.
This
does
provide
for
lower
cost
and
more
opportunities
for
child
care.
The
waiver
program,
also
from
dcyf,
also
is
adequate
to
ensure
that
there
are
facilities
needed
to
support
more
than
12
children
in
these
family,
child
care
homes
and
then,
similarly,
not.
This
look
is
not
contrary
to
the
interests
of
citizens,
property
owners
and
so
on.
S
As
again,
dcyf
does
have
guard
rails
in
place
to
make
sure
that
they're
safe
places
where
children
can
learn
and
grow,
and
so
with
that
I'll
just
we
are
seeking
Council
action
to
hold
the
public
hearing
on
ordinance
number
6677
and,
following
that
consider
adoption
of
the
ordinance
and
I'll
pass
back
to
the
mayor.
Great.
A
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
so
any
comments
or
questions
from
Council
on
this
okay.
Not
seeing
any.
Is
there
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing.
B
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye,
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
assuming
there's
no
further
comments
or
questions
from
the
council.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adopt
the
ordinance.
A
O
You
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members
on
the
first
topic
on
your
study
session
agenda.
This
tonight
is
the
monthly
Regional
issues
report
joining
us
this
evening
is
Genesee
Atkins
chief
of
external
Affairs,
as
well
as
Lacey
Jane,
Wolf
assistant,
director
of
aiming
of
governmental
relations
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
you.
Genesee.
T
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Mankey,
hello,
mayor,
deputy
mayor
council
members.
We
have
for
just
this
evening
really
a
written,
only
presentation.
You
have
all
the
reports
from
all
of
our
regional
committees
with
up
to
the
date
minutes
of.
What's
just
transpired
and
what's
ahead,
the
one
thing
we
wanted
to
call
out
in
front
of
you
this
evening
is
the
timeline
we
have
in
developing
our
next
draft
State
Legislative
agenda.
T
This,
of
course,
will
be
kind
of
our
guiding
document
and
principles
as
we
go
into
the
next
state
legislative
session,
which
is
set
to
start
the
second
Monday
of
January,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
status
update
because
we'll
be
coming
back
to
you
later
on
in
the
fall
right
now.
We
are
currently
about
halfway
through
meeting
with
City
departments
and
leadership
in
the
agencies.
T
We're
going
to
fold
all
that,
together
into
a
really
good
draft
that
then
we're
going
to
sit
down
and
meet
with
each
one
of
you
individually
on
so
we'll
gather
the
input
from
you
each
individually,
then
really
synthesize.
Is
that
together
and
then
come
bring
it
to
you
in
November
for
your
consideration
and
final
adoption?
This
will
give
us
plenty
of
time
a
couple
of
good
months
in
advance
of
session
to
work
with
our
state
legislators
in
the
41st
and
the
48th,
as
well
as
other
very
important
stakeholders
and
Associates
in
the
community.
T
So
we
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
preview
of
what's
coming
up
around
the
corner.
We
appreciate
everybody's
engagement
through
AWC,
through
sound
cities
and
through
other
organizations
to
help
us
get
it
into
good
shape,
so
that
we'll
be
really
strategic
and
effective
next
year,
happy
to
field
any
questions
you
might
have
for
Lacey,
Jane
or
I
great.
T
C
T
Assembly
days
yeah,
usually
they
move
around
a
little
bit,
typically
they're,
either
right
before
Thanksgiving
or
maybe
in
very
early
December.
More
recently,
they've
been
tending
to
just.
Do
it
in
early
December,
usually
that
first
full
week
of
December,
so
it
would
certainly
be
several
weeks
in
advance
of
that.
C
T
An
excellent
question
so
technically
I
was
reminded
because
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
Federal
issues
and
I
know,
given
your
work
on
NLC
you're
very
tuned
into
what's
going
on
there.
Technically.
The
agenda
that
you
adopted
in
April
of
this
year
is
a
two-year
agenda,
but
because
we're
going
to
be
getting
a
new
Congress
we're
going
to
update
it
in
Spring
of
next
year
anyway.
This
is
something
the
timing
of
that
is
something
I've
talked
through
a
little
bit
extensively
with
our
Consultants.
T
So
we
would
be
coming
to
adopt
a
refreshed,
Federal
agenda,
probably
in
February,
maybe
early
March,
but
we
talked
at
some
length
about
how
to
really
hit
the
bullseye
exactly
right
and
their
sense
about
the
right
time
would
be
to
do
it
just
on
the
heels
of
the
president's
budget.
Rollout.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
U
A
U
Have
a
chance
to
read
some
of
the
details.
One
is
the
federal
legislative
update,
I,
think
councilman
bazan
suggested
we
do
have
a
very
important
role
and
also
information
and
input
from
National
League
of
cities
based
on
you
know,
our
participation
and
so
I
feel
that
need
to
be
somehow
reflected
because
it
is
ongoing
process.
U
When
I
went
to
the
NLC
leadership
conference
in
Atlanta,
they
discussed
extensively
on
the
by
partisan
infrastructure
law
and
they
really
are
reaching
out
to
the
cities
as
to
how
to
even
to
describe
you
know
the
process
and
the
criteria
because
they
want
to
get
input
from
the
cities
so
that
they
know
how
to
structure
their
agenda
legislative
criteria
and
then
this
ongoing
process
of
they
continue
to
talk
to
the
cities.
U
U
So
we
I
think
we
need
to
plug
in
because,
if
we
miss
the
beginning
of
it,
if
we
don't
have
the
assistance
we
are
at
the
disadvantage,
we
are
working
our
own
and
if
we
do
not
have
that,
you
know
then
we'll
be
even
get
further
behind,
because
they
already
have
talked
to
the
cities
that
are
on
board
that
are
working
with
them.
So
I
think
it's
important
that
we
recognize
that
and
there's
a
role
for
us
that
participate
in
National
League
cities
to
make
sure
that
we
make
the
connection.
U
In
fact,
I
believe
I've
referred
some
of
that
information
to
your
staff,
so
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
we
are
continuing.
We
have
a
two-way
street
working
with
the
fed,
the
NLC
number
one
and
two
was
very
various
agencies
departments
from
federal
government,
so
that
we
can
know
what's
happening
so
we
can
be
plugged
in
because
if
we
don't
do
that,
when
we
get
to
November
December
February,
it
may
be
too
late.
Somebody's
you
know
had
a
leg
up
for
us,
it's
very
competitive.
U
It
could
be,
but
at
the
same
time,
if
we
are
there
early,
it
may
not
be
as
competitive,
because
you
have
a
leg
up
so
I
just
want
to
mention
that
perhaps
we
can
talk
about
that
in
more
detail
as
to
what
our
role
can
be
to
take
advantage
of.
You
know
some
of
those
things
yeah.
Thank
you
absolutely.
Thank
you.
A
A
O
Mayor
council
members,
this
topic
in
front
of
you
this
evening
is
the
23-24
operating
budget
and
seven
year
Capital
plan.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
produce
this
to
present
to
you
the
proposed
budget
beginning
this
evening.
I
wanted
to
make
a
few
opening
remarks
before
I
turn
it
over
to
both
Tony
and
to
Evan,
first
and
foremost,
I
wanted
to
just
let
the
council
know
how
complex
this
budget
is
and
how
difficult
it
was
to
put
together.
O
O
Many
of
you
know
that
I
cut
my
teeth
on
the
budget
here,
so
I
know
how
difficult
it
is
to
balance
and
gosh
my
head
and
and
kudos
to
Tony
and
her
staff
on
putting
this
and
making
this
happen.
This
particular
budget
is
the
most
complex
that
I've
worked
on
on
in
my
20
years,
because
there's
so
many
factors
that
are
that
affect
the
budget.
O
I
mean
that
made
it
very
complicated,
starting
with
just
unprecedented
growth
in
the
city
super
high
inflation
and
Rising
interest
rates,
a
structural
Financial
deficit,
the
threat
of
a
recession
and
uncertainty
coming
on
is
all
because
of
Us
coming
out
as
we
come
out
of
the
pandemic.
Having
said
all
that,
we
are
very
fortunate.
The
city
is
in
great
shape.
You
know
it
is
the
city
where
everyone
wants
to
be
right
now
right.
You
know
that
from
the
news
and
you
hear
it
a
lot
from
your
colleagues.
O
You
know
our
residents
and
businesses
have
super
trust
in
the
city.
We
have
very
high
residential
and
business
ratings
that
probably
the
highest
we've
ever
had
coming
into
this
budget,
but
you
know
there
are
clouds
on
the
horizon
and
opportunities
to
us
to
take
advantage
of,
and
this
budget
responds
to
both
of
those
by
way
of
just
very
super
strong
policy
Direction
and
priority
setting
by
the
council.
Thank
you
very
much.
That
has
been
very
helpful
for
us
as
the
staff
on
putting
this
budget.
O
Together,
we
have
had
great
feedback
from
both
our
residential
and
business
communities.
You
know
we
got
quite
a
bit
of
feedback
on
our
surveys
that
we
do
every
year,
as
well
as
from
a
number
of
our
stakeholders
outside
and
the
proposed
Revenue
enhancements
that
are
in
front
of
you
in
this
budget
that
are
needed
to
start
correcting
the
structural
budget
deficit.
We've
had
all
these
have
helped
guide
the
development
of
this
budget.
O
That's
in
front
of
you
this
evening
and
I
am
truly
indebted
to
the
residences,
the
Bellevue
Chamber
of
Commerce,
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association
Community
leaders
for
their
active
engagement
and
to
the
council
again
for
your
thoughtful
leadership
on
policy
development.
Priority
setting
and
in
particular
the
leadership
team.
All
of
them
are
here
this
evening
for
taking
off
their
Department
hats
and
putting
this
budget
together
and
stepping
up
as
true
leaders
of
the
city
and
as
a
result.
O
What
you
have
in
front
of
you
this
evening
how
we
say
this
is
the
sum
of
it's,
the
it's
the
product,
which
is
greater
than
the
sum
of
the
parts
so
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
dealing
with
just
such
a
great
I
also
wanted
to
talk
about
thank
the
staff
of
the
city
for
just
delivering
great
service
to
the
community
and
for
their
dedication
and
patience
during
this
unprecedented
growth
that
we've
encountered
in
the
city.
O
I
have
added
staff
to
this
budget
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
we
continue
delivering
exceptional
Public
Service,
which
has
become
the
Hallmark
of
this
city
and
with
our
which
our
community
has
come
to
expect.
So
we
really
truly
look
forward
to
the
ongoing
conversations
with
the
council
in
the
coming
weeks
and
with
that
I'm,
going
to
turn
a
little
bit
of
Tony
into
into
heaven.
V
First,
thank
you
once
again
for
having
us
and
before
I
move
on
I
think
he
gave
a
lot
of
thoughts
and
thank
yous
to
a
whole
lot
of
people.
He
neglected
to
thank
himself,
which
might
be
a
little
odd,
but
he
has
been
a
phenomenal
leader
through
a
very
complicated
budget.
That's
being
presented
to
you
this
evening
and
I
am
eternally
grateful
for
his
leadership.
So
thank
you.
V
This
is
the
first
of
several
budget
discussions
and
presentations
we'll
have
on
the
city's
budget
as
we
move
forward.
Just
as
a
note
of
reference,
we
did
post
the
large
very
many
page
budget
document
on
the
city's
website
this
afternoon
and
if
you
do
go
out
there
and
hit
budget
in
the
search
engine
it
will
pop
up,
and
if
someone
has
a
problem
with
that
in
the
public,
please
give
us
a
ring,
we're
happy
to
help
solve
whatever
that
looks
like
so.
V
Thank
you
again
for
your
patience
as
we
got
the
large
budget
document
out
there.
This
is
information.
Only
this
evening.
We
have
several
more
meetings
with
you
scheduled
ahead
of
us.
Our
agenda
for
this
evening
is,
we
will
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
on
some
administrative
items.
Calendar
actions
for
final
adoption
I'll
take
a
little
bit
of
time,
talk
about
the
public
involvement
and
some
of
the
key
operating
Investments
that
this
budget
does
to
continue
to
move
the
city
forward.
V
V
Is
our
budget
Milestone
calendar
as
you
can
see,
starting
on
the
far
left
hand
side,
the
budget
Workshop
started
back
on
March
7th
we've
had
two
public
hearings
in
advance
of
the
city
manager's
preliminary
budget
tonight,
as
you
have
heard,
city
manager
Miyaki,
is
presenting
his
preliminary
budget.
We
have
three
Council
meetings
ahead
of
us:
October
3rd
10th
and
24th
and
I
have
a
slide
in
about
three
or
four
down
from
here
that
that
will
go
over
the
agendas
for
those.
V
So
you
won't
see
that
right
next,
but
you'll
see
it
in
a
bit
November
7th.
We
have
our
final
public
hearing
on
the
budget.
We've
reserved
time
on
November
14th
for
follow-up
additional
questions,
eventual
directions,
so
we
can
bring
back
a
tentative
adoption
package
to
you
on
November
21st.
As
always,
when
we
do
a
budget
process,
there's
many
questions
that
many
have.
So
we
will
once
again
establish
a
memory
bank
that
we
will
try
to
get
turned
around
for
each
of
your
Council
meetings.
V
That's
in
front
of
you
and
with
that,
let
me
take
just
a
minute
and
I
have
two
more
slides
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
public
involvement
that
we
heard.
As
you
know,
we
have
surveys
that
are
conducted
over
the
last
year
that
show
residents
and
businesses
find
that
Bellevue
is
a
good
excellent
place
to
live.
In
fact,
97
of
them
in
the
budget
survey
said
that
Bellevue
is
a
good
and
excellent
place
to
live.
We
also
ask
in
those
surveys
what
are
the
biggest
problems?
V
What
are
the
largest
issues
facing
Bellevue
and
we
routinely
heard
order
irrelevant,
but
we
tunely
hear
in
the
top
several
affordability
and
cost
of
living,
Public,
Safety
and
homelessness
remain
large
concerns.
We've
also
had
two
public
hearings
in
May
and
August
that
you
were
both
all
here
to
participate
in
and
additionally,
we've
done
additional
Outreach
efforts
with
businesses
and
key
stakeholders,
as
we
have
been
developing
this
budget.
V
The
budget
before
you
responds
to
these
concerns,
as
well
as
all
of
your
Council
priorities,
and
with
that
up
there
it
goes
I
call
this
the
pinwheel
chart,
because
it
reminds
me
me
something
that
my
kids
used
to
have
when
they
were
little.
It
shows
the
operating
budget
and
how
it
responds
to
the
concerns
we've
heard
from
the
public
as
well
as
Council
priorities.
V
I'll
start
at
the
top
with
growth
and
urbanization
and
I'll
work
clockwise
around
the
piece
and
on
the
next
slide
after
this
we'll
talk
about
the
next
couple
of
meetings
and
how
this
pinwheel
chart
will
come
into
play
in
those
meetings.
So,
first
of
all
growth
and
urbanization,
this
budget
will
appropriate
to
the
remaining
12
million
dollars
of
the
American
Rescue
act.
As
you
may
remember,
the
city
received
a
total
of
20
million
dollars.
8
million
was
appropriate
back
in
2021
for
rental
assistance
in
small
business.
V
We're
going
to
continue
to
invest
in
programs
and
Advance
Equity
inclusion
and
access
by
implementing
the
apprenticeship
program,
as
well
as
enhancing
our
existing
procurement,
wimby
or
minority
Women
disadvantaged
Business
program.
We
will
invest
250,
000
annually,
ongoing
and
cross-cultural
programming
in
response
to
the
direction
that
Council
gave
a
few
months
ago
in
the
cross-cultural
center.
Additionally,
we
will
expand
the
overall
City
division.
Diversity
work
with
ongoing
funding
to
continue
to
advance
diversity,
Equity
inclusion,
city-wide
moving
towards
the
bottom.
We
go
to
environmental
stewardship.
V
The
budget
before
you
will
advance
environmental
stewardship
in
a
couple
of
ways.
The
operating
budget
has
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
ongoing
funding
in
it,
and
then
the
capital
budget,
which
is
not
represented
on
this
screen,
but
will
come
later
in
tonight's
presentation,
has
additional
funding
in
it.
V
It
has
1.8
million
dollars
of
additional
environmental
stewardship
initiative
work
in
addition
to
environmental
EV
infrastructure,
I
apologize,
EV
infrastructure
for
All
City
facilities,
as
well
as
building
efficiency
programs
for
study
of
facilities,
so
both
of
those
items
are
included
in
this
Capital
program
as
well
regarding
affordable
housing.
In
addition
to
the
existing
revenue,
streams
of
1590
and
1406
and
the
ones
that
you
know
quite
well,
we
are
investing
some
one-time
money
to
help
accelerate
the
next
right
work
by
removing
barriers
to
creating
housing
options
and,
finally,
towards
the
11
o'clock
area
of
Public
Safety.
V
One
of
the
areas
of
concern
that
we
repeatedly
heard
from
our
public
and
businesses.
This
budget
not
only
maintains
funding
levels
for
critical
fire
and
police
that
we
currently
have.
It
also
invests
in
a
community
crisis
assistance,
team,
additional
policing
for
growth,
equipping
fire
station
10
for
opening
and
then
also
body
worn
cameras
which
the
council
has
also
previously
given
as
a
head
nod
towards.
So
with
that,
as
kind
of
the
overview
of
what
all
the
key
Investments
and
the
complicated
work
we've
done
to
bring
this
budget
forward.
The
next
three
October
study
sessions.
V
V
W
You
Tony,
so
the
total
the
2023-2024
preliminary
budget
would
be
for
you
today
is
2.2
billion
dollars
and
is
split
across
five
broad
categories,
and
the
slide
is
useful
for
those
of
you
who
may
not
be
familiar
with
government
budgeting,
but
in
short,
we
can't
commingle
a
variety
of
different
sources
of
funds.
So
what
is
in
front
of
you
tonight
are
the
five
buckets
of
funding
and
how
they
are
broken
out.
W
So
I'll
take
a
moment
to
be
walking
us
through
all
five
categories,
starting
with
the
far
right
with
capital,
investment
funds
and
slowly
moving
our
way
to
the
left
towards
the
general
fund.
So
the
capital
funds,
which
primarily
fund
major
public
facility
improvements,
including
our
Parks,
our
fire
stations,
sewer
and
water
pipes,
sidewalks
roadway
improvements
among
a
whole
host
of
other
things
involved
in
our
CIP.
W
This
is
this:
679
million
dollar
figure
reflects
the
first
two
years
of
our
CIP
and
includes
426
million
dollars
for
a
Utility
Fund
utilities
funding
as
well
as
that
includes
their
reserves,
as
well
as
253
million
dollars
in
the
general
CIP
and
again.
That
number
includes
the
reserve
amount
as
well.
Moving
over
to
our
left,
we
have
the
special
purpose:
funds
funded
at
139
million
dollars
for
the
biennium
and
some
of
the
resources
that
we
receive
as
a
city
have
to
be
separated
based
on
their
sort,
their
Source,
their
funding
sources.
W
So
sometimes
that
is
restricted
by
either
state
law
or
by
a
donor's
request
or
for
a
specific
purposes.
Specific
purpose
like
Grant
donations,
our
hotel,
motel
tax,
Parc,
voter
approved
maintenance,
among
others.
Much
of
this
spending
also
has
additional
has
to
be
isolated
for
accounting
purposes,
so
think
our
debt
service
portfolio
has
to
be
separated
out,
as
well
as
select
Human
Services
moving
left
to
our
Enterprise
funds
that
are
funded
again,
and
these
are
all
biennium
numbers
at
568
million
dollars.
W
These
reflect
our
city
services,
our
city
lines
of
business
that
are
run
like
a
private
Enterprise,
so
think
your
development
services,
your
Parks
Enterprise,
your
the
Marina
and
the
utilities
funds
both.
Obviously,
as
Tony
Tony
mentioned,
both
the
development
services
and
utilities
funds
will
be
brought
forward
in
their
rates.
Conversations
later
on
as
part
of
our
Budget
deliberations.
Moving
left
one
more
time
is
the
internal
service
and
other
operating
funds.
W
Several
areas
in
the
city
provide
goods
and
services
to
City
departments,
on
a
cost,
reimburses
basis
for
a
usage
of
service,
including
facility
and
equipment,
repair
and
maintenance,
liability
claims,
employee
medical
expenses
and
Technology
charges.
And
finally,
everyone's
favorite,
the
general
fund
supports
most
Direct
Services
out
to
the
community,
including
police,
fire,
Parks
Transportation,
Community
Development,
as
well
as
a
myriad
of
administrative
functions
like
human
resources,
City
management,
Finance
customer
service,
among
others.
So
when
we
speak
about
the
operating
budget
of
the
city,
we
are
talking
about
this
left
three
buckets.
W
W
Obviously
there
are
some
importance
of
this,
as
I
mentioned
that
do
have
to
be
separated
out.
So
a
good
example
of
that
would
be
our
Utility
Services
fees,
so
a
utility
service
fees
only
could
be
spent
on
Utility
Services
purposes.
We
couldn't
go,
buy
a
fire
truck
with
utility
rates,
so
your
water
bill
is
safe,
being
spent
on
water
on
water,
related
expenditures,
foreign,
okay,
all
right
so
building
off
of
the
2021-2022
budget,
the
2324
preliminary
budget
maintains
The
Cost
Containment
measures
adopted
to
whether
the
economic
impacts
of
covid-19.
W
While
these
ongoing
measures
help
the
city's
long-term
revenue
and
expenditure
imbalance,
it
does
not
do
enough
to
fully
offset
the
needs
and
services
for
a
growing
and
urbanizing
City
to
fund
these
critical
needs.
This
budget
proposes
modest
adjustments
to
tax
revenues.
The
first
of
these
adjustments
are
in
the
property
taxes,
a
two
percent
property
tax
adjustment
for
2023,
one
percent
of
that
being
councilmanic,
and
one
of
one
percent
being
of
banked
capacity
for
substantial
needs
of
the
city
and
an
additional
one
percent
councilmanic
tax
in
2024..
Additionally,
we
are
adjusting.
W
W
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
over
the
next
few
slides
to
take
a
deeper
dive
into
the
property
taxes
in
the
business
and
occupation
tax,
the
b
o
taxes
that
are
included
as
part
of
this
preliminary
budget.
So
on
the
screen
before
you
is
the
2022
property
tax
distribution.
So
this
is
a
good
example
of
the
distribution
of
a
property
tax
bill
for
the
average
Bellevue
property
owner.
W
As
you
can
see,
the
city
of
Bellevue
makes
up
10
of
that
total
tax
bill,
and
this
budget
proposes
an
increase
again
of
two
percent
one
percent
Bank
capacity
and
one
percent
councilmanic
adjustment
in
2023
and
a
one
percent
Council
manic
adjustment
in
2022.
that
2023
adjustment
would
increase
a
one
million
dollar
property
owner's
tax
bill
by
18
annually
and
similarly
in
2024.
W
That
would
be
a
nine
dollar
adjustment
annually,
based
on
the
preliminary
budget
before
you,
notably,
any
change
made
in
this
budget,
will
only
adjust
the
10
portion
of
the
Bellevue
Property
Owners
tax
bill
and
the
last
time
just
for
reference.
Last
time
this
the
council
adjusted
or
rather
used.
The
bank
capacity
was
in
2015.
W
Foreign
diving
in
a
little
bit
more
on
the
b
o
adjustment.
This
budget
does
include
a
.01
increase
in
business
and
oxidation
occupation
taxes
based
on
the
company's
taxable
gross
receipts
that
reside
within
Bellevue.
Of
course,
small
businesses
that
are
grossing
less
than
180
000
do
not
currently
pay
taxes
within
the
b
o
tax
structures
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
Bellevue,
and
that
would
remain
the
same
in
this
23-24
budget.
W
As
you
can
see
from
the
table,
a
0.01
increase
would
increase
companies
tax
bills,
as
noted
so
for
a
small
business
grossing
in
the
neighborhood
of
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
within
the
city
of
Bellevue.
That
would
equate
to
a
25
adjustment
in
2023
for
a
large
multinational
corporation
grossing
around
100
sorry,
one
billion
dollars
that
would
be
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
impact
in
2023,
and
these
b
o
rates
as
proposed,
would
be
effective.
January
1st,
on
2023.
W
Okay,
there
are
a
few
other
rates
that
Council
will
adopt
as
part
of
this
budget.
Obviously,
Tony
briefly
went
through
the
list
of
adoption
actions
earlier
on
in
the
presentation
that,
and
Q
includes
utilities
rates
which
will
be
coming
forward
in
front
of
you
all
on
October
10th
and
development
services
rates,
which
we
have
a
tentative
date
for
October
24th
there
as
well,
and
there
is
no
change
to
the
fire
inspection
fee
for
this
biennium.
W
So
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
dive
a
little
bit
deeper
specifically
into
the
general
fund,
and
talk
about
sustainability
and
I.
Do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
the
long-term
structural
deficit
due
to
the
revenue
and
balance
that
we
have
coupled
with
the
long-term
Investments
that
we
need
to
make
in
the
city.
Everything
on
that
pinwheel
is
something
that
we
need
to
address
growth
and
urbanization
in
the
city,
and
we
have
made
adjustments
to
make
that
possible.
W
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
prior
to
2023
is
intentionally
build
reserves
across
the
city.
This
Council
also
regularly
adjusted
the
one
percent
councilman
of
property
tax
in
2019,
the
city
council
implemented
fire
inspection
fees
and
as
part
of
the
2122
coveted
budget,
the
budget
included
eight
million
dollars
approximately
of
ongoing
reductions
for
Cost
Containment
measures.
W
So
all
of
these
helped
make
this
city
a
much
more
fiscally
sustainable
and
the
2023
budget
continues
that,
with
these
additional
Revenue
adjustments
that
we
went
over
this
evening,
so
the
b
o
and
the
property
tax
adjustments
are
part
of
helping
that
long-term
fiscal
sustainability.
But
unfortunately,
in
the
long
term,
as
soon
as
long
as
Washington
State
Property
Tax
structures
remain
limiting
our
growth
to
one
percent
or
less
than
inflation.
We
will
continue
to
have
a
long-term
structural
debt
Revenue
problem.
W
So
every
one
of
everyone's
favorite
slides
the
general
fund
forecast
so
due
to
the
uncertain
times
that
we
have
and
talking
with
our
economic
experts
and
and
our
own
staff,
there's
really
unclear.
What's
going
to
happen
in
the
next
two
to
three
to
four
years.
We
do
expect
some
type
of
recession
to
be
on
the
horizon,
but
we
don't
know
to
severity
or
how
deep
or
the
timing
of
that.
So
for
this
2324
budget
process,
we
provided
you
with
two
forecast
scenarios:
an
optimistic
forecast
and
a
pessimistic
forecast
in
terms
of
Revenue.
W
The
optimistic
forecast
assumes
that
we'll
have
continued
growth
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
a
robust
development
cycle.
The
pessimistic
Revenue,
pitcher
or
scenario
assumes
a
deeper
recession
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
more
optimistic
scenario
for
2526
and
just
to
orient
you
here
a
little
bit,
the
blue
line
is
our
expenditures.
The
optimistic
is
our
green
line
with
triangles
and
our
pessimistic
is
the
orange
line
with
the
squares
for
that
green
line
with
the
triangles.
In
our
optimistic
scenario,
you'll
see
that
there
is
a
very
little
Gap,
but
in
years
2025
and
2026.
W
Undergirding.
These
forecasts
are
several
key
risks
and
there's
four
primary
ones
that
I'd
like
to
mention
here
tonight.
The
risk
of
recession
is
really
the
Paramount
one
for
us,
we
don't
know
when
the
recession
will
hit
what
severity
and
how
it
will
impact
the
Puget
Sound
region
in
particular.
There
is
also
worldwide
events
such
as
the
war
in
Ukraine,
and
there
are
extreme
weather
cycles
that
could
further
disrupt
the
supply
chain.
W
Also,
as
we
move
into
the
more
endemic
phase
of
the
covid-19
pandemic,
there
it's
possible
that
more
variants
could
emerge
and
evade
our
current
Public
Health
measures.
So
that's
a
concern
for
us
as
well
as
well
as
the
impacts
of
remote
and
hybrid
work
environments
on
how
consumers
spend
their
money
in
Bellevue
and
elsewhere,
and
how
employers
operate
as
a
result.
W
Over
the
next
two
slides
I
do
want
to
talk
about
some
notable
things
that
the
CIP
invests
in,
but
I
won't
be
hitting
every
single
point
here.
I
do
want
to
mention
that,
as
always,
our
CIP
make
sure
that
we
pay
our
debt
obligations.
That
is
Paramount.
We
always
have
to
make
sure
we
pay
our
bills.
Also.
W
Also
important
to
note
there
is
architecture
and
engineering
for
the
for
a
potential
Aquatic
Center
as
well
continuing
on
to
our
next
slide.
I
do
also
want
to
highlight
a
few
other
points.
There
are
some
notable
comprehensive
planning
here
and
including
Wilburton
growth,
notable
Transportation
projects
in
our
neighborhood
and
enhancement
program
or
NEP,
and
congestion
management
projects.
W
We
are
continuing
the
levy
work
that
we
have
on
fire
parks
and
transportation
levees,
including
building
and
then
later,
equipping
fire
station,
10
and
various
roadway
improvements
and
multimodal
improvements
for
vision,
zero
and,
of
course,
because
government
does
need
to
invest
in
itself
to
grow
and
maintain
the
services
that
we
have.
We
are
building
a
Parks
Resource
Center.
We
are
going
to
be
funding
a
replacement
of
our
financial
system,
as
well
as
replacing
fuel
tanks
at
various
City
Sites
throughout
the
city.
W
Thank
you
and
again,
I
won't
list
all
of
these
projects
before
you,
but
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
highlight
a
few.
These
are
the
new
Investments
and
new
projects
within
the
CIP,
and
these
are
specifically
in
our
our
city,
neighborhoods
and
I.
Do
think.
It's
really
important
that
we
have
a
whole
host
of
transportation
and
Parks
investment,
including
some
seed
money
for
new
part,
new
parks
in
underserved
areas
like
Eastgate
and
Factoria.
W
There
are
also,
as
part
of
this
The
Seven
Year
CIP,
the
23-29
CIP
additional
investments
in
growth
in
the
amount
of
19
million
dollars
in
infrastructure,
nine
million
dollars
again.
There's
the
Aquatic
Facility,
the
art
architecture
and
engineering
of
four
million
dollars.
We
also
have
notable
Investments
for
some
parks
of
facilities,
one
million
dollars
for
off-leash
facilities,
Parks
Trails,
Shoreline
restoration,
as
well
as
the
mountains
to
sound
Greenway
Trail.
There
is
also
again
the
ESI
projects
for
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
and
the
ESI
Energy
Efficiency
projects
for
building
retrofits.
W
I
do
want
to
take
a
step
back
to
look
at
the
entire
CIP
holistically,
so
with
the
pie
chart
in
front
of
you
this
evening.
I
do
want
to
walk
through
all
the
different
categories
that
we
have
so,
first
and
foremost,
is
again
our
debt
service
at
178
million
dollars
or
22
percent.
One
thing
I
do
want
to
highlight
is
a
story
in
terms
of
Cost
Containment.
That
we've
done
here
is,
as
part
of
the
last
buy
ending.
W
W
If
I
didn't
highlight
the
next
category
that
we
have
because
Bellevue
has
this
as
a
best
practice
and
our
current
practice
that
we
don't
build
anything
new
before
maintaining
what
we
currently
have
so
ongoing
maintenance
is
a
huge
priority
in
the
second
call
on
our
allocation
of
resources
and
that's
at
20
or
161
million
dollars.
We
also
have
our
three
levees,
our
Parks
Transportation
fire
levies
and
that
accounts
for
150
million
or
19
percent,
and
then
we
have
our
largest
trunk,
our
discrete
and
ongoing
projects,
including
the
new
projects
that
we
mentioned.
W
That
I
mentioned
on
the
last
two
slides,
so
those
new
Investments
to
our
neighborhoods
and
growth
and
infrastructure.
Those
are
found
in
this
discrete
and
new
projects.
Category
diving
into
our
ongoing
maintenance
about
half
the
pie
is
considered
transportation,
and
that
includes
the
the
overlay
pavement
project,
among
others,
another
35
percent
or
so
is
a
for
parks,
and
that
includes
parks.
W
Refurbishments
I
do
want
to
move
on
to
our
discrete
and
new
projects,
of
which
again
half
of
that
is
transportation
funding,
and
that
includes
significant
projects
in
the
Bel
Red
Street
grid,
as
well
as
West
Lake
Sammamish
phase.
Four
among
many
others,
there's
also
a
substantial
chunk
for
Community
Development,
which
includes
arts
and
culture
funding,
as
well
as
implementation,
support
for
ESI
and
economic
development
plans
and,
finally,
our
levees,
which
again
are
19-
and
this
is
our
current
voted
levies
that
and
has
a
whole
host
of
variety
of
projects.
W
Our
Parks
Levy
is
continuing
to
complete
the
Airfield
Park.
The
fire
Levy
is
first
focusing
on
fire
station
10
construction
and
the
transport
Transportation
Levy
is
working
on
a
whole
host
of
neighborhood
and
congestion
projects
and,
as
a
reminder,
our
current
Parks
Levy
expires
in
2028
and
our
fire
and
transportation
levees
expire
in
2036.
and
with
that
mayor
I
will
hand
the
presentation
back
to
Tony
call.
V
I
think
I
will
just
finish
this
up
and
thank
you
very
much
Evan
for
the
good
work.
I
will
just
finish
this
up
and
remind
you
what's
coming
in
front
of
you
in
the
next
three
sessions,
so
October
3rd,
October,
10th
and
October
24th
and
then
finally,
and
overall,
look
at
our
our
calendar.
That
says
we
are
heading
towards
a
public
hearing
on
November
7th
final
Council
discussion
on
the
14th
and
tentative
adoption
on
the
21st,
and
with
that
that
is
our
presentation
for
you
this
evening.
V
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
listen
and
presenting
the
city
manager's
preliminary
budget
over
to
you,
mayor.
A
Thank
you.
That's
a
great
presentation.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
that
are
here
and
even
who
are
not
here
tonight
for
all
the
hard
work
that
you've
done
on
this.
This
is
such
an
important
part
of
our
City's
success.
You've
devoted
more
months
on
this
I
know.
You
worked
all
summer
while
we
were
on
break
and
I
just
want
to
add
that
we're
so
fortunate
to
have
a
city
manager
that
has
such
a
strong
background
in
budgeting.
You
bring
that
to
the
table
and
we
all
benefit
from
that.
A
X
Actually,
I
don't
have
a
lot
to
say
at
this
point,
I
think
it's
just
been
an
amazing
thing,
putting
together
it's
a
lot
of
pieces
moving
here
and
there
and
how
they
all
fit
in
and
it's
complex
and
you
see
Park
things
popping
up
five
six
times
on
things
and
it's
and
that's
that's
a
real
skill
and
how
to
make
those
fit
and
look
at
the
different
pieces.
It's
you
just
don't
just
don't
fun
fund
streets,
you
know
fun
parks,
you
don't
find
these
things
by
themselves.
They're
all
integrated
and
I.
X
Think
it's
just
an
amazing
piece,
putting
it
together
and
it
puts
us
on
a
what
I
like
is.
It
puts
us
on
a
solid
track
going
forward,
it's
going
to
be
difficult
and
we've
gone
through
a
lot
of
difficult
things
in
the
last
10
15
years,
and
this
is
we're
in
a
period
that
we've
never
we've
experienced
a
lot
of
great
things
in
the
past,
but
never
anything
like
this,
as
you
said
and
I
think
what
we're
having
presented
here
is
a
budget
and
a
plan
for
action.
X
That
is,
will
take
us
forward
and
it
has
a
lot
of
room.
We
have
a
lot
of
planning
on
which
sometimes
you
get
budgets,
and
this
is
the
budget
and
you
don't
present.
You
know
the
idea
that
something
may
happen,
and
we
have
to
work
on
that.
So
we're
ready
for
that
as
well.
X
So
I
feel
very
confident
that
we're
going
to
move
forward
on
this
and
there's
a
lot
of
we
have
a
lot
of
things
tied
down,
but
a
lot
of
things
that
are
in
categories.
So
it
gives
us
some
a
lot
of
possibilities
as
things
move
along
as
we
can
be
proactive
and
work
on
this
and
work
with
the
community
and
one
of
the
greatest
things
about
this
is
so
much
of
this.
X
All
of
it
is
really
very
much
grounded
in
working
with
the
community
over
the
last
several
years,
particularly-
and
you
know
we're
a
lot
of
excitement.
We
just
had
a
very,
very
good
meeting
out
in
East
what
I'm
trying
to
say
the
Community
Center
and
about
the
park,
the
you
know
the
in
the
East
Gate
Park,
and
it
was
really
exciting
to
see
the
people.
So
so
really
powerfully
talking
about
how
can
we
do
these
things
from
pickleball
to
swing
to
an
aquatic
center
and
I?
X
Y
Council
member
Robertson,
thank
you,
I
agree
with
councilmember
Stokes
I'm,
so
proud
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
this
budget
at
least
at
first
blush.
We
don't
know
all
the
details,
but
it's
it
takes
into
account
Council
priorities.
There
are
things
in
here
that
we've
been
talking
about
all
of
us.
It
takes
into
account
the
Public's
priorities
and
it
creates
it
looks
like
it
creates
a
really
fair
and
nice
balance,
keeping
in
mind
as
I
do
that.
Y
My
goal
is
always
to
make
sure
that
Bellevue
remains
a
very
safe,
livable,
thriving
community,
and
if,
from
the
initial
presentation,
it
looks
like
we're
doing
that
really
well.
The
other
thing
I
like
about
balance
is
the
projects
we've
heard
from
folks
that
get
very
worried
that
we
spend
so
much
money
building
out
the
commercial
areas
as
we
need
to
to
provide
the
growth
that
we
don't
give
enough
love
to
our
neighborhoods,
and
we
always
I
mean
with
the
neighborhood
enhancement
project.
We
always
try
to
give
love
to
our
neighborhoods.
Y
This
capital
budget
gives
a
lot
of
love
to
our
neighborhoods.
I
mean
there's
things
on
here.
That
I'm
just
so
excited
to
see
move
forward,
not
to
mention
the
Aquatic
Center
thinking
for
that
you
know.
I,
just
I
didn't
realize
that
the
wearing
the
blue,
which
is
the
color
of
the
Aquatic
Center,
was
going
to
be
so
on
point
tonight,
but
so
yeah
I'm
really
excited
about
that.
I
also
wanted
to
give
props
for
the
presentation
tonight.
This
is
I
was
thinking
about
it.
Y
How
we
fund
things
what
the
different
buckets
are
I
mean
well
done,
I
mean
super
super
clear,
I
hope
this
goes
also
on
the
budget
page,
because
I
think
this
is
a
really
excellent
visual
of
what
we
do
and
how
how
we're
doing
it
and
what's
proposed
I,
have
a
couple
of
questions
which
don't
have
to
be
answered
tonight,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
them
as
I
like
to
to
give
you
guys
to
let
you
know
what
I'm
going
to
be
asking
when
the
night
in
question,
so
the
structural
deficit
on
slide.
17.
Y
we've
been
grappling
with
this
all
along
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
Shepherd
the
resources
really
wisely
to
eliminate
the
structural
deficit.
Does
the
structural
deficit
lines
that
are
shown
on
that
slide
take
into
account
the
revenue
sources
that
we're
considering
adding
to
this
budget?
They
do
okay,
so
that's
with
the
additional
Revenue,
so
we're
still
going
to
need
to
keep
working
on
this
year
after
year,
okay
and
then
on
the
clean,
clean
component
of
the
budget
is
the
Adopt
A
Street
in
the
budget.
It's.
Y
And
and
then
on,
the
utility
rates
I
know
that
we
have
some
pretty
big
increases
coming
from
King
County
that
we
have
to
then
pass
through
to
our
customers
on
sewer,
and
we
have
some
pretty
big
increases
coming
from
Cascade
water
lines
that
we
have
to
pass
through
to
our
water
customers
and,
of
course
they
all
get
combined
bills.
So
I
would
like
to
know
when
we
have
the
utility
presentation
how
much
of
the
increase
is
due
to
you
know,
other
people's
pass-through
versus
actual
increases
in
expenses
that
are
the
Bellevue
controlled
specific
expenses.
Y
I
think
that
would
be
helpful,
I'd
like
to
know
and
I
also
think
our
public
would
like
to
know
when
they
look
at
our
utility
rates,
so
yeah
I,
just
I,
agree
with
the
mayor,
we're
very
blessed
to
have
such
a
strong
Finance
team,
led
by
the
city
manager
and
by
yourself
missed
call,
and
your
Deputy
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
good
process
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
getting
into
the
details
as
we
move
through
it.
Thanks.
Thank.
A
You
Deputy
Mayor.
F
Thank
you,
mayor.
Well,
boy,
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
make
them
look
very
good
tonight.
F
You're
gonna
get
bored
of
hearing
some
of
these
things,
but
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
not
only
our
city
manager,
Brad
Miyake,
but
Tony
call
and
Evan.
Thank
you
so
much
for
working.
Thank
you
for
all
the
department
heads
that
are
here
tonight
as
well.
F
It's
it's
a
total
team
effort
and
this
city
is
blessed
to
have
a
city
management
team.
That
is
just
so
on
point
with
so
much
of
this,
and
this
budget
has
all
the
Hallmarks
of
city
manager,
miyaki's
budget,
because
it's
so
balanced,
which,
on
my
short
time
on
the
council,
I
think,
has
been
a
Hallmark
of
what
you
do
so
well.
F
You've
listened
so
well
to
to
the
to
the
residents
to
the
stakeholders,
to
this
Council
and
our
priorities
and
our
PR
and
our
the
projects
they're
in
and
that's
really
reflective
in
in
this
in
this
budget.
It
it
certainly
is
I,
will
save
a
lot
of
my
more
specific
questions
as
we
get
into
some
of
these
October
and
some
November
meetings
and
I
want
to
encourage
all
residents
right
now,
please,
throughout
this
process,
the
process
is
not
over
as
greatest
presentation
that
is,
and
as
much
as
work
that's
been
done
so
far.
F
This
is
not
over.
So
certainly
during
all
these
presentations,
please
provide
feedback,
ongoing
feedback.
Please
show
up
on
November
7th
the
next
public
hearing
and
share
your
thoughts
or
concerns.
If
you
have
them
during
that
time,
because
it's
still
very
much
working
towards
it
and
I
have
to
say,
if
there's
one
criticism
I
might
have,
it
is
not
easily
findable
this
Budget
on
the
website.
It
needs
to
be
directly
on
the
home
page
and
really
accessible
for
every
resident
I.
F
Just
if
you
just
plug
in
budget
into
the
search
query
you're
not
going
to
find
it
only
if
you're
very
specific
and
put
2023
20
20
24
budget.
Even
then
there's
multiple,
so
I
just
want
to
make
it
really
easy
for
anyone
has
an
interest
wants
to
find
out.
Please
put
that
on
the
on
right
on
the
home.
Page
I
think
that'd
be
that'd,
be
really
great,
as
liaison
to
the
Human
Services
Commission
love.
F
What
I've
seen
here
in
terms
of
of
the
funding
there
there
is
such
a
strong
need
to
supporting
all
the
great
agencies
and
non-profits
in
our
city.
If
we
all
recall,
we
had
requests
for
over
10
million
dollars
last
budget
cycle,
and
we
only
had
5
million
to
disperse.
F
So
I
really
appreciate
that
the
the
neighborhoods
being
so
important
here
again
the
council
priorities
and
and
and
really
what
I've
heard
time
and
time
again
is
about
what
makes
Bellevue
so
great
and
we've
heard
some
things
tonight
from
oral
communication
as
well
as
here
about
our
neighborhoods
about
our
parks,
but
even
above
that,
when
we
talk
about
some
of
the
core
Services
Public
Safety
clean
streets
no
graffiti
or
graffiti,
that
goes
away
quickly,
garbage
that
goes
away
quickly.
F
These
are
all
the
Hallmarks
of
some
of
the
things
that
our
city
has
grown
to
be
to
be
known
for
why
people
want
to
bring
their
business
here.
Work
here
live
here
go
to
school
here
we
can't
forget
those
things
and
and-
and
they
certainly
are
not
forgotten
in
this
budget
and
have
made
this
budget
I
think
very,
very,
very
strong,
I
I
think
the
the
the
bno
tax
increase.
F
Thank
you
for
mentioning
that
that
hasn't
been
increased
since
1989,
and
it's
a
very,
very
small
increase,
as
well
as
the
property
tax
increase.
Whenever
I
shared
the
one
slide,
you
had
there
about
how
very
little
comes
to
Bellevue
from
the
property
taxes
everyone's
always
very
Amazed
by
that
and
that's,
and
that
is
an
ongoing
issue.
One
question
that
I
would
like
and
I
appreciate.
You
have
it
on
there
about
the
risks
going
forward.
F
F
So
I
like
to
be
very
watching
that
very
closely
and
very,
very
specific
things
that
we
will
be
watching
while
watching
closely,
but
I
will
stop
there
but
again
huge
kudos
to
to
the
whole
city
management,
team
and
everyone
here,
that's
been
such
a
big
part
of
this
appreciate
all
of
your
hard
work
and
look
forward
to
digging
into
this
a
little
bit
deeper
over
the
next
months
and
weeks.
But
great
initial
start.
Thank
you
so
much.
V
Respond
to
the
memory
bank
I'll
get
you
a
specific
list,
because
we
are
tracking
several
things
that
are
high
on
our
list:
everything
from
inflation
to
cost
of
goods
sold
to
the
jolt,
which
is
the
job
data.
We
look
at
a
lot
of
those
items.
The
question
is,
many
of
them
are
out
of
our
control
to
do
much
about,
but
we
certainly
are
tracking
them
to
pay
attention.
V
A
So
it's
really
gratifying
to
have
these
a
retreat,
finally,
after
covid,
and
to
talk
about
our
goals
and
our
visions
and
then
to
see
those
reflected
in
this
budget.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
I
do
have
one
question:
I
know
that
historically
there
was
a
period
of
time
where
the
council
this
is
before
I
was
on.
The
council
opted
not
to
do
the
councilmanic
property
tax
increase
and
I.
Just
wonder
what
the
impact
of
that
was
in
the
long
term.
Can
you
talk
about
that?
I.
V
Could
talk
a
little
about
that,
so
not
taking
the
the
the
property
tax
at
the
time
the
one
percent
councilman
that
happened
for
what
I
can
figure
out?
I
was
not
here
for
all
of
that
time,
but
it
appears
to
be
a
decade
or
maybe
more
than
so
than
that.
Every
time
we
increase
the
one
percent,
it's
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
technically
it
would
be
about
five
million
dollars
or
eight
million
dollars.
V
I
guess
it
would
be
a
year
that
could
have
been
in
our
coffers
and
now
is
sitting
banked
at
the
county
being
banked
at
the
county
is
also
a
good
thing,
because
it's
still
at
your
discretion
as
to
when
you
want
to
use
that
and
bring
it
back
into
the
city
when
the
appropriate
time
is
for
substantial
need,
so
we
didn't
technically
lose
it
for
forever.
It's
still
completely
accessible
to
you,
but
not
taking.
That
does
mean
that
our
property
tax
is
lower
today
than
it
would
have
been
had
it
been
taken.
V
So
in
the
most
manageable
forecast,
though
it's
just
most
optimistic
line
currently
in
2025
I,
think
we're
less
than
a
million
dollars.
Apart
from
expenditures
and
by
the
time
you
get
to
2026,
where
something
like
I'm
going
to
say
two
and
a
half,
that's.
V
A
Okay,
council
members
on.
C
Yes,
thank
you
well,
I
I
will
also
pile
on
the
thank
you
to
Brad,
Tony,
Evan
and
all
of
the
leaders
and
and
staff,
because
you
know
I
had
an
opportunity
to
get
a
little
bit
of
a
briefing
beforehand
and
every
time
I
asked
about
a
priority
that
we
had
been
talking
about.
I
was
told
it's
in
there,
it's
in
there
it's
in
there,
so
that
to
me
is
really
a
testament
that
you
know
you're
listening
to
the
community,
the
council
and
the
things
that
we
have
been
talking
about
and
I
still
remember.
C
Two
years
ago
we
were
all
on
on
Zoom,
trying
to
talk
about
the
budget
and
the
things
that
we
needed,
and
we
had
that
huge
laundry
list
of
of
things
that
we
were
tracking
and
this
time
around.
You
know
what
I
see
is
that
we've
been
talking
about:
Vision,
zero,
affordable
housing,
homelessness,
safe
parking,
environmental
stewardship,
literal
cleanup
graffiti
program,
Dei
and
inclusive
economy,
and
and
as
I
look
look
it's
it's
all
in
there.
So
I
just
think.
C
To
me.
That
is
a
testament
for
why
we
are
in
great
shape
and
we're
getting
good
ratings
from
our
community,
as
well
as
our
business
community
when
I
think
about,
then
how
we
continue
to
focus
on
fiscal
sustainability,
and
you
know
earlier
we
talked
about
pursuing
grant
funding
and
we
will
continue
to
aggressively
pursue
our
federal
and
and
state
grant
funding
as
well
to
advance
some
of
these
other
things
that
maybe,
if
we
had
some
more
funds,
we
could
move
faster
on.
So
I
just
wanted
to
confirm.
C
I
guess
a
couple
of
things,
and
that
is
that
the
one
percent
banked
is
only
on
the
2023.
So
the
thinking
might
be
that
in
the
mid,
buy
would
be
when
we
would
have
this
conversation
again
about
whether
how
we're
doing
because
the
forecast
will
be
more
known
by
then
and
our
costs.
So
we
may
be
having
this
conversation
again
in
a
year
about
whether
another
one
percent
Bank
capacity
might
be
needed
to
make
the
Gap
a
little
bit
less.
So
we
don't
go
into
2025
with
a
million
or
or
more
of
a
potential
deficit.
V
C
That
right,
thank
you
for
that,
and
you
know
I
think
it's
also
important
for
the
community
to
know
that
when
they
think
about
the
property
tax,
only
10
percent
of
the
tax
actually
goes
to
Bellevue.
So
when
we
talk
about
the
modest
one
percent
increase,
as
you
said,
it's
nine
dollars
for
the
year,
so
I
think
that's
important,
and
then
the
parks
and
open
space
Levy
would
also
be
an
addition
to
this
right.
C
So
those
are
good
to
know
as
well
and
I
look
forward
to
having
more
conversation,
I
would
say,
along
with
the
deputy
mayor,
the
one
area
that
we
did
chat
about
was
Human
Services
funding
and,
although
I'm
glad
to
see
that
arpa
potentially
can
fill
a
gap
as
an
interim,
we
talk
a
lot
about
the
fact
that
one-time
funds
are
not
the
most
the
sustainable
solution.
So
I
look
forward
to
having
more
of
that
conversation
about
you
know.
How
do
we
bridge
that
Gap?
C
V
We'll
make
sure
we
include
that
as
we
gear
up
for
next
week's
arpa
discussion,
how
the
overlap
between
Human,
Service
and
arpa
and
the
Human
Services
Commission
work,
which
won't
be
in
front
of
you
until
October
24th,
there's
an
overlap
there
and
Tony
Esparza
and
our
Michael
shiyosaki
will
be
here
to
help
us
navigate
that
question
so,
okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Yeah.
U
U
Kudos,
thank
you.
Staff
I
want
to
also
thank
the
Commissioners
who
helped
you
a
lot
of
Staff
work
got
into
this
to
come
up
with
a
budget.
You
know
that
you
are
able
to
present
to
us
and
we
want
to
thank
the
public.
They
provide
us
the
support,
understanding
and,
ultimately
you
know
they
are
paying
for
the
money
and
they
approve
what
we're
doing,
and
so
we
have
a
great
City.
U
Ultimately
also
we
want
to
thank
the
city
manager
because
he's
responsible
for
all
you
for
the
products
and
obviously
thank
the
council
members
who
provide
the
policy
and
the
guidance,
but
the
point
is
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
challenging.
That's
the
city
manager
mentioned
not
just
because
of
the
condition:
inflation,
pandemics
and
all
the
uncertainty
that's
coming
up,
and
we
also
have
Regional
issues
emerging
issues.
We
never
anticipated
all
these
things
you
have
to
juggle.
So
thank
you,
Kudos
and
finally,
I
had
to
have
some
not
finally,
but
I
do
have
some
questions.
U
V
U
Right
by
number,
it's
very,
very
big
but
I
think
we
need
to
tell
the
public
justify
and
I
think
there's
good
reasons.
Okay,
explain
that
okay,
and
that
also
means
going
forward.
I
think
we
need
to
be
looking
at
the
structured
deficit,
which
has
a
member
Roberson
mentioned
that
we
we're
not
going
to
ever
close
it.
So
if
oils
depend
on
Bank
capacity,
Castle
Mania,
that's
not
the
real
fix,
so
maybe
we
need
to
do
something
different
and
I.
U
Think
the
council
maybe
have
to
to
come
up
with
some
policy
decisions
priorities,
because
one
thing
that
brow
was
mentioning
the
challenge
for
a
difficult
budget
is
because
we're
not
helping
that
much,
because
we
want
everything-
and
you
are
doing
everything
for
us-
you
know
so
I
think
there's
certain
responsibility
we
have
to
have
like
you
know.
Debbie
de
Mayo
is
asking
questions.
Can
we
do
things
a
little
bit
differently?
You
know:
can
we
build
partnership?
Can
we
do
more
private
public
collaboration?
U
I
think
these
are
all
ways
we
talk
about
we're
lucky
with
Opera
to
help
us
in
some
way.
So
I
think
these
are
the
things
we
need
to
really
try
to
do
to
improve
on
the
process,
because
not
everything
you
guys
can
solve
because
you
are
doing
whatever
we
tell
you
to
do
so.
It's
amazing
that
you're
able
to
do
that,
and
thank
you
again
for
that.
My
question
also:
is
you
mentioned
about
Bank
capacity
in
Pennsylvania
tax?
U
Maybe
you
should
explain
it,
but
what's
Bank
was
Castle
Painting
I,
well,
I
I
I
asked
the
question:
if
we're
banked,
why
do
we
need
to
Transylvania?
Do
we
have
to?
Are
we
limited
to
just
one
percent
or
can
we
we
banked
a
lot
of
them
percentages
there?
So
what's
what's
the
difference?
What's
the
advantage
we
got
in
Bank
capacity.
V
So,
currently,
the
city
has
about
nine
million
dollars
of
Bank
capacity,
which
equates
to
somewhere
on
the
vicinity
of
12
to
13
percent,
depending
on
the
value
of
assessed
value.
So
it's
somewhere
right
in
that
range
under
state
law.
The
council
can
raise,
with
a
vote
of
the
council
property
taxes
for
the
city
of
Bellevue
only
by
one
percent
each
year,
so
that
is
within
your
Authority.
U
Okay,
so
the
question
wise:
why
do
we
use
console
Mania?
Can
we
is
it?
You
mentioned
one
percent
Council
minute,
one
percent
bank
right.
So
what's
different,
why
don't
we
just
use
two
percent
band.
V
Bank,
the
one
percent
councilman
but
I
I-
think
we
were
thinking.
It
was
an
easier
to
explain
if
we
use
our
traditional
one
percent
Council
manic
every
year
and
pull
one
percent
of
Bank
capacity.
But
if
the
council
did
choose,
you
could
choose
to
use
two
percent
of
Bank
capacity.
U
V
It
honestly,
it
helped
pay
for
some
of
the
new
projects
you
see
in
the
CIP,
so
we
reduced
our
debt
by
somewhere
on
the
vicinity
of
four
million
dollars
a
year
between
the
refunding
we
did
on
the
2012
and
2013
bonds
and
then
also
our
Tiffy
alone.
That
refunded.
So
we
were
able
to
save
a
substantial
amount
of
Debt
Service,
which
is
actually
a
great
deal
to
the
taxpayers,
because
now
we'll
be
able
to
invest
those
dollars
back
into
the
community
and
so
that
money
did
go
back
into
this.
U
Think
for
the
benefit,
transparency
and
and
accountability-
it
probably
be
good
to
explain
to
us
and
the
citizens
is
the
money-
is
actually
used.
The
amount
that
we
save,
let's
use
offset
so
then
necessary
expenditures,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
add
on
to
our
increased
tax
burden.
So
I
think
that's
very
important.
People
see
a
lot,
you
actually
you
know
responsible,
and
this
doesn't
and
we
reduce
our
requirement
because
of
our
tax.
We
can
certainly
otherwise
there's
a
loss.
So
what
would
you
do?
Did
you
give
the
city
council
a
big
tax,
salary
increase.
Z
Thanks
I'm
gonna
further
Bank
it
until
this
specific
study
session
days,
but
I
do
just
also
want
to
say
thanks
to
staff
for
addressing
the
priorities
that
cover
the
needs
and
interests
of
a
diverse
community.
So
really
appreciate
you
balancing
all
of
that.
I'll
just
also
ask
a
question
around
Outreach
is
there?
Are
there?
Are
there
plans
to
engage
any
organizations
around
the
budget
like
kind
of
doing
a
road
show,
specifically
kind
of
thinking
about
our
non-profits
cultural-based
organizations,
who
may
not
be
as
plugged
into
the
process?
Certainly.
V
I,
don't
have
a
specific
Road
show
that
I
could
put
produce,
but
I
certainly
am
willing
to
go
to
any
non-profit
any
entity.
That
would
like
to
hear
a
presentation
on
the
budget.
I
am
more
than
happy
to
to
make
that
happen.
If
someone
would
like
me
to
come
and
do
that,
I
am
completely
available.
We
usually
always
do
a
piece
with
the
belly
Downtown
Association
in
the
chamber,
but
that's
a
different
audience
I
think
than
what
you're
thinking
of,
but
if
there
is
a
path
forward,
I'm
happy
to
do
so.
Okay,.
Z
A
O
AA
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyake,
a
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
new
in
house
and
City
Council
Members
I'm,
Joy,
Saint,
Germain,
Human,
Resources
Director,
as
an
opener
to
what
you're
about
to
hear
I'd
like
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
highlight
an
important
facilities,
project
from
staff
in
the
finance
and
asset
management
department.
That's
currently
in
development
and
not
in
Blaine's
current
progress
report,
and
that
is
the
city
council
chambers,
Ada,
upgrade
project.
It's
about
90
percent,
completed
so
phase.
AA
One
of
the
project
involves
the
removal
of
seats
in
the
back
of
the
chambers
to
allow
wheelchair
access.
There
will
be
two
spaces
in
the
back
and
then
three
along
the
windows
here.
So
to
show
you
so
on
the
screen.
It's
a
photo
of
the
seat
signage.
That
states.
Please
make
the
seat
available
for
Companions
of
wheelchair
users
when
needed,
which
is
a
wonderful
statement
of
compliance
and
cultural
competence.
AA
Phase
two
of
the
project
involves
the
hand
rail
replacement,
so
you'll
see
the
blue
tape
here
for
this
work
in
progress
and
then
phase
three
plans
to
replace
this
table
where
Blaine
and
I
are
sitting
with
an
oval
oval
table
design
that
will
provide
more
space
for
wheelchair
accessibility,
as
well
as
moving
this
audio
visual
box.
So
it's
reachable
by
wheelchair
users.
So
this
is
a
great
example
of
the
one
city
approach
that
involves
every
city
Department,
to
ensure
that
City
program,
services
and
activities
are
accessible
to
individuals
with
disabilities.
AA
I
would
like
to
give
special
thanks
and
acknowledgment
to
every
Department
director
and
their
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act
core
team
members
for
their
ongoing
positively
impactful
work
and
I'd
like
to
now
acknowledge
and
thank
Blaine
amson
for
his
effective
leadership,
expertise
and
remarkable
accomplishments.
Who
will
share
the
progress
report.
AB
Thank
you
so
much
joy
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council,
members
and
city
manager.
It's
my
pleasure
to
be
here
tonight
to
report
on
our
progress
of
the
city's
American
facilities,
act,
self-evaluation
and
transition
plan.
I
am
in
fact
Palladiums
and
I
am
in
fact
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act
and
title
VI.
Civil
rights
administrator
for
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
I
am
in
fact
with
the
human
resources
department.
AB
My
presentation
for
you
today
is
information
only
and
is
an
update
on
the
progress
made
toward
meeting
our
regulatory
requirements
related
to
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act
I'll
start
with
a
bit
of
background
to
orient
everyone
to
what
we're
talking
to
talking
about
tonight
and
why
it's
important,
then
I'll
talk
through
the
self-evaluation
and
transition
plan,
subsections
where
we
have
specific
strategies
and
have
made
progress
toward
achieving
our
goals
in
these
areas.
So
what
is
the
self-evaluation
and
transition
plan?
And
why
do
we
need
to
talk
about
its
progress
as
we
think
about
the
Ada?
AB
One
of
the
first
things
that
may
come
to
mind
is
the
role
it
plays
in
making
sure
folks
can
be
reasonably
accommodated
in
employment
and
that's
actually
title
one
of
the
Ada
which
the
rest
of
our
human
resources
department
helps
to
ensure
Title
II
of
the
Ada
is
my
responsibility.
That's
the
one
that
requires
that
government
entities
be
accessible
in
our
facilities,
our
infrastructure
and
in
our
programming.
AB
In
order
to
track
whether
we're
upholding
the
law,
we
regularly
update
something
called
a
self-evaluation
and
transition
plan
or
setp
for
short,
which
we
last
updated
for
the
city
in
2019.
The
self-evaluation
and
transition
plan
is
the
way
we
evaluate
all
of
our
city
programs,
services
and
infrastructure
for
ADA
compliance
and
accessibility
and
to
make
recommendations
for
improvements
while
these
self-evaluation,
while
these
self-evaluation
transition
plan
recommendations
were
created,
the
way
that
we
track
and
operationalize
these
improvements
is
through
Department
level
work
plans.
AB
The
Ada
core
team
is
the
primary
group
that
works
with
me
on
this
responsibility.
At
the
city
of
Bellevue,
many
departments
have
core
Tia
core
team,
member
or
members
who
oversees
the
completion
of
the
departmental
work
plan.
As
a
group,
The
Ada
core
team
supports
all
members
in
accountability
and
information
sharing
to
ensure
that
we're
compliant
in
all
areas
of
the
city
and
thinking
of
ways
that
we
can
be
Innovative
and
increase
accessibility
wherever
we
can.
AB
Obviously,
compliance
with
the
law
is
required,
but
as
a
city
that
welcomes
the
world,
Bellevue
takes
its
accessibility
seriously,
and
we've
done
some
great
work
going
above
and
beyond
compliance
as
well.
To
live
up
to
that
expectation.
During
this
update,
we
solicited
feedback
from
the
community,
not
just
on
compliance-based
improvements,
but
suggestions
that
just
made
sense
that
may
go
above
and
beyond
what
the
law
requires.
AB
An
example
of
this
actually
comes
from
me
off
when
I
brought
this
to
you
in
2019.
You
asked
me
for
an
example
of
community
feedback
that
went
above
and
beyond
compliance,
but
was
a
really
good
idea.
AB
I
told
you
about
a
mother
who
shared
with
me
that
if
we
had
accessible
changing
tables
like
the
one
found
an
inspiration
playground
throughout
the
city,
it
would
help
promote
Community
inclusion,
as
you
heard
recently,
we're
on
track
to
install
13,
changing
tables
at
various
locations
across
the
city.
Making
this
Mother's
Vision
come
to
fruition
and
helping
to
ensure
people
with
disabilities
are
able
to
be
as
integrated
in
the
community
as
they
want
to
be.
Indeed,
Bellevue
sees
its
diversity
as
a
core
strength
and
the
disability
Community.
AB
Effective
Communications
is
the
first
subsection
of
the
self-evaluation
and
transition
plan.
Communicating
effectively
with
individuals
with
disabilities
in
our
community
is
an
important
responsibility
that
promotes
equal
access
to
services
and
information.
The
city
facilitates
accessibility
and
effective
communication
with
individuals
in
a
variety
of
ways.
Just
some
examples
of
things.
AB
We've
also
improved
accessibility
in
our
city
style,
guide
of
sorts
for
City
staff
who
create
public
facing
materials
which
now
include
standard
for
accessibility
in
digital
and
print
materials
under
the
accessible
meetings
and
events,
subsection
of
the
self-evaluation
and
transition
plan
we've
produced
for
the
city
of
Bellevue
staff,
a
guide
on
Universal,
Design,
specific
to
meetings,
trainings
and
events.
This
helps
to
ensure
that
we're
designing
events
and
programming
that
are
accessible
to
everyone.
AB
This
guide
has
been
requested
by
other
jurisdictions
as
a
model
of
accessibility
and
we're
happy
to
share
it
far
and
wide.
We've
also
made
physical
modifications
to
City
facilities
to
ensure
that
our
meetings
accommodate
all
participants
through
accessible
Heights
for
meeting
tables
and
hearing
assistance,
technology
features
in
key
meeting
rooms
all
across
the
city
and
we've
embraced
virtual
meeting
formats,
initially
as
a
necessity
during
our
covet
response,
but
now
recognizing
that
virtual
formats
often
work
so
much
better
for
folks
with
disabilities,
we
plan
on
keeping
those
up.
AB
In
City
policies
and
practices,
we're
teaching
staff
members
about
reasonable
modifications
and
why
they're
necessary
and
important
when
we
change
policies
or
practices,
we
think
about
both
compliance
with
Title
II
of
the
Ada
and
how
ableism
might
be
considered
and
how
we
evolve
our
services
and
our
programs.
Ableism
is
the
notion
that
people
without
disabilities
are
the
norm,
and
systems
should
be
designed
only
with
their
needs
considered
and
met
often
neglecting
the
legitimate
needs
of
those
with
disabilities.
AB
When
we
intentionally
Center
people
with
disabilities
in
our
policy
creation
and
our
decision
making,
it
helps
us
to
be
more
equitable
and
we
make
a
real
effort
to
build
authentic
relationships
and
involve
members
of
the
community
who
have
disabilities
as
our
partners
when
we
design
and
develop
Equitable
policies,
practices
and
programs
during
the
covid-19
pandemic.
Maintaining
connections
with
our
disability
Community
with
critical
and
our
Emergency
Management
Crews
were
committed
to
reaching
our
most
vulnerable
residents
to
reach,
to
check
in
and
to
ensure
that
they
were
staying,
safe
and
healthy.
AB
AB
Terms
are
I'm
sorry.
These
teams
are
also
trained
in
identifying
and
preventing
ableism
in
their
work,
the
shelter
management
plan
being
just
one
example
of
where
staff
recognize
that
planning
shelter
supplies
with
only
the
able-bodied
in
mind
would
leave
many
community
members
without
their
key
needs
met
in
the
city's
Public
Safety
function.
Training
is
being
evaluated
to
ensure
responders
are
attuned
to
reasons
why
someone
might
not
be
able
to
hear
or
respond
to
commands,
for
example,
and
how
to
recognize
when
someone
may
have
certain
needs
during
an
interaction.
AB
As
it
relates
to
City
facilities,
I
am
so
pleased
to
report
that
we've
installed
nine
wheelchair
charging
stations
across
the
city
and
at
community
centers
and
key
hubs
such
as
City
Hall
and
Bellevue
Botanical
Gardens.
This
means
that
people
are
using
motorized
wheelchairs
can
stay
out
and
about
in
the
community
without
fear
of
having
their
battery
die
and
leaving
them
stranded.
We
do
annual
checks
on
Ada
access
features
in
all
of
our
facilities
and
we've
operationalized,
using
Universal
Design,
Concepts
and
centering
accessibility
in
our
facilities
projects
as
a
whole.
AB
Lastly,
infrastructure
public
right-of-way
is
a
huge
element
of
the
Ada
and
an
area
where
many
people
often
experience
accessibility
or
lack
of
accessibility
in
a
city.
I
love
sharing
these
numbers
over
18,
000
linear
feet
of
sidewalks
in
Bellevue
have
been
added
or
made
more
accessible
in
just
the
last
two
years.
AB
In
a
recent
city,
council
Proclamation,
we
stated
that
our
commitment
to
diversity
in
Bellevue
is
specifically
related
to
our
specifically
related
to
diversity.
Within
our
disability
Community,
the
climation
was
celebrating
our
32nd
anniversary
of
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act,
and
a
key
piece
of
this
statement
was
that
we
quote
consistently
and
diligently
work
to
make
our
city
more
accessible
to
all,
and
that
makes
me
so
honored
to
be
a
part
of
this
team
and
the
city
doing
this
work
that
I
get
to
do
here
in
Bellevue.
AB
It's
in
that
spirit
that
we're
not
waiting
until
the
next
update
to
share
this
progress
with
the
community
and
to
solicit
feedback
for
improvement.
In
fact,
just
a
few
months
ago,
I
went
in
front
of
Bellevue
Network
on
Aging,
provided
them
with
this
same
progress,
update
and
got
more
suggestions
from
them
that
are
in
line
with
ongoing
efforts
related
to
effective
communication
and
more
I
want
to
extend
a
heartfelt
thank
you
to
the
Ada
core
team.
AB
The
work
that
I'm
honored
to
bring
in
front
of
you
tonight
has
so
much
more
to
do
with
their
efforts
than
my
own,
and
thank
you
to
the
leadership
teams
and
to
all
the
city
staff
who
are
so
dedicated
to
this
work,
and
thank
you
to
council
for
your
support.
Commitment
and
dedication
to
these
efforts,
speaking
from
experience,
I,
can
tell
you
that
Municipal
understanding
and
support
of
the
needs
of
people
with
disabilities
makes
a
huge
difference
and
it
increases
confidence
and
Effectiveness
in
our
local
governments.
AB
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
council
member
Zion
will
just
go
around
down.
Do
you
have
any
comments
or
questions?
Oh.
C
Yes,
thank
you
well,
thank
you
so
much
Blaine
and
joy
for
coming
and
giving
us
this
presentation.
You
know
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
that
I've
really
appreciated
about
the
work
that
you
do,
that
we're
doing
together
is
about
accessibility
by
Design,
so
planning
for
that
from
the
very
beginning,
because,
as
you
said,
when
we
create
accessible
spaces
infrastructure,
it
actually
is
better
for
everyone,
and
so
instead
of
Designing
for
the
ableism,
the
the
other
pieces
actually
just
work
for
everyone.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
I
guess.
C
AB
Don't
know
a
lot
about
kind
of,
what's
included
in
our
budget,
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
the
self-evaluation
and
transition
plan,
specifically
that
we
brought
you
in
2019,
has
a
five-year
span
that
looks
from
2020
through
and
so
all
of
those
pieces
that
have
been
included
and
kind
of
massaged
into
those
work
plans
have
already
been
kind
of
considered
into
budgets.
I,
don't
know
Joy.
If
you
want
to
add
anything
else
or
I'm
also
happy
to
kind
of
go
back.
It
sounds
like
you're.
C
Would
be
helpful
because
I
think
that
actually
it's
in
a
couple
of
areas
when
I
think
about
City
facilities?
You
know
we've
talked
about
City
Hall
and
having
right
charging
for
wheelchairs,
but
it
makes
me
wonder
about
what
about
all
of
the
other
City
facilities
throughout
the
city
and
then
yes,
the
public
right
away
as
well
and
I.
Guess
my
other
part
of
that
question
would
be.
You
know.
We
have
a
lot
of
dashboards
in
the
city
that
so
that
people
can
see
the
progress
that
we're
making
over
time.
C
So
as
we're
thinking
about
these
different
con
Investments
that
we're
making
in
our
facilities
and
right
away,
is
there
a
way
for
our
community
to
be
seeing
the
kind
of
progress
and
what
they
can
expect
from
us
in
terms
of
the
level
of
progress
that
we're
making?
So
what
I
mean
by
that
is
in
two
years
and
five
years,
how
many
more
linear
feet
of
accessible
sidewalks?
Are
we
committing
to
so
that
we
we
are
making
really
visible
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
the
commitment
we're
making
into
our
our
community?
Thank
you.
U
We
all
know
bellevue's
motto
is
we
welcome
the
world
right,
it's
easy
to
say
it,
but
it's
very
difficult
to
do
it
and
so
I
appreciate.
We
appreciate
you
being
an
advocate
being
here
to
you,
know
you,
with
your
real
experience
and
your
willingness,
the
ability
to
help
to
bring
the
issues
to
the
table
and
help
us
how
to
make
a
difference
and
we'll
just
talk
about
the
budget.
2.2
billion
dollars
every
two
years.
That's
a
lot
of
money.
U
You
know
it's
a
matter
of
priority,
you
know,
but
we
have
to
make
the
priority.
What
is
more
important?
You
know.
Sometimes
it's
it's
a
you
know
what
they
call
demand.
You
know
lots
of
people
ask
people
in
this
case
it
may
not
necessarily
debate,
but
it's
the
necessity.
It's
important,
so
I
I
believe
that
you
can
help
to
like
that.
U
Comes
from
Amazon
mentioned
a
show
and
help
us
to
understand
what
are
the
most
critical
needs
and
what
we
can
do
so
that
the
people
you
know
who
are
disabled,
who
needs
help
assistance,
can
feel
just
like
all
of
us.
You
know
it
doesn't
matter
who
we
are.
You
know
we
want
to
feel
we
are
welcome
that
we
belong
that
people
take
us
for
what
we
are
and
help
us.
You
know
don't
take
us
for
granted,
so
it
takes
sometimes
two-way
communication.
Unfortunately,
you
know
we
got
so
many
things.
U
We
have
so
much
challenges
as
you
can
see
even
the
budget
process.
So
thank
you
for
doing
this.
Bring
to
attention
help
us
to
design.
When
you
just
mentioned
you
designed
the
table,
I
wasn't
aware
of
that
right,
I
mean
you,
don't
think
about
things
like
that,
so
it's
important
to
have
those
projects
and
remind
us
to
come
to
us.
So
thank
you
for
what
you
do
and
keep
working
with.
All
of
us
see
what
we
can
do
to
make
things
better
and
easier.
It's
our
pleasure!
Thank
you.
Z
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor,
Joy
Blaine,
thank
you
for
the
amazing
presentation
and
and
the
work
in
seeing
where
we
are
as
a
city
when
it
comes
to
making
our
spaces
more
accessible
and
welcoming
Blaine
I,
just
have
to
say,
I
really
appreciate
your
enthusiasm
on
the
topic.
It
means
a
lot
so
I,
you
know
we.
We
prioritize
this
work
in
the
private
sector,
in
the
tech
industry,
but
I
think
by
and
by
far
I
think,
I've
seen
the
most
enthusiasm
here
today.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Z
One,
quick
question:
when
you
mentioned
that
we
have
style
guides
and
our
print
and
digital
material
there's
a
focus
on
accessibility.
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
that's
true
for
our
website
and
our
our
app
is
that
true.
AB
Absolutely
so
that
style
guide
so
there's
kind
of
two
different
pieces
to
that
there's.
Definitely
the
Universal
Design
for
meetings,
trainings
and
events
gives
you
little
tidbits.
That
definitely
would
be
useful
for
a
website
for
an
app
for
those
sorts
of
things,
but
there
absolutely
is
an
emphasis
within
the
style
guide
and
in
fact,
we're
kind
of
working
on
a
new,
updated
style
guide.
As
we
speak,
there's
already
conversations
happening
that
look
specifically
at
kind
of
digital
spaces,
and
it's
interesting.
AB
You
bring
up
the
app
you
know,
that's
something
that
I'm
going
to
write
down
as
we
speak
and
make
sure
that
we're
taking
a
look
at,
but
absolutely
building
those
those
concepts
of
Universal
Design
making
sure
it's
got
the
highest
usability
is,
is
something
that
we've
focused
on
on
the
website,
at
least
since
I've
gotten
here
and
we've
started,
having
more
robust
conversations
about
Universal,
Design
and
digital
spaces.
Awesome.
Thank
you.
Y
Oops
I
skipped
you
you
want,
you
want
to
go
to
Debbie
Mayer.
First.
A
Y
What
everyone
else
said,
I
think
this
is
pretty
exciting
and
this
is
a
really
good
news
story.
You
know
when
I
first
joined
the
council
I
remember
meeting
with
the
then
Ada
coordinator
and
it
they'd
taken
a
segue
and
they'd
ridden
all
of
the
sidewalks
across
the
city.
I'm
sure
you
still
have
that
report
we're
chipping
away,
but
back
then
Ada
was
really
only
looked
at
about
wheelchair
accessibility.
Y
It
wasn't
looked
at
all
the
other
potential,
differing
abilities
like
vision
and
and
hearing
and
other
things,
and
now
we
are
I
think
it's
part
of
walking
our
talk
about
Bellevue
welcoming
the
world.
We
welcome
everyone
and
it's
also
part
of
our
implementation
of
Dei.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
see
the
really
great
progress.
I
mean.
We've
done
some
great
things
to
change
the
table,
I'm
so
glad
that
we
had
13
I.
Remember
saying
we
need
to
do
more
of
that.
Y
The
unit
reversal,
design
that
we're
bringing
the
hearing
loop
system
all
those
things
and
I
and
I
want
to
give
a
special
shout
out.
I
mean
the
staff
is
doing
so
much
work,
but
but
mayor
Robinson
when
she
joined
the
council,
that
was
I
think
the
first
time
I
ever
heard
about
Universal,
Design
and
she's
been
a
real
change
agent
for
Universal
Design
for
the
hearing
loop
system,
because
she
knows
because
of
her
day
job
about
what
is
needed
to
make
people
be
able
to
participate
and
be
included.
So
thank
you.
Y
Thank
you
Lynn
for
that,
because
you
really
have
helped
move
this
along
and
I
think
that
should
be
noted.
So
just
really
just
positive
positive
comments.
I'm
really
happy
to
see
us
moving
along
happy
to
see
that
this
work
has
continued
to
be
funded.
I
do
have
one
question,
I
think
I've
raised
this
before
with
regard
to
one
of
the
other
Universal
Design
type
things
when
it
comes
to
print
materials
or
website
materials
or
when
you're
looking
on
your
phone,
and
that
is
the
colors
there.
Y
We
have
a
certain
percentage
of
our
population-
that's
colorblind,
and-
and
there
are
some
things
that
have
come
to
council
where
I
know
people
who
are
called
one.
They
can't
tell
the
lines
from
you
know
which
ones
represents
which
so
I
just
hope
that
that's
on
our
radar
for
ways
to
make
it.
Maybe
the
colors
may
not
look
as
beautiful
to
someone
who's,
not
colorblind,
where
they
might
go.
Why
are
you
using
this
color,
but
if
it
makes
it
so
that
everyone
can
see
those
subtleties
I
think
it
matters
so.
AB
Well,
if
I
may
just
quickly,
please
give
you
an
example
of
what
you
see
in
the
style
guide
and
where
you
see
this
integration
I
got
so
excited
when
I
saw
Tony
in
Evan's
presentation,
because,
as
you
saw,
those
projections
right
and
you
saw
the
squares
and
the
triangles
and
the
circles.
That
is
exactly
for
the
reason
you
described,
because
if
somebody
was
colorblind
they
would
know
if
he
said
green.
AB
He
wouldn't
know
you
wouldn't
know
orange,
but
he
said
green
and
triangles
green
and
squares,
and
that's
not
only
training,
because
Evan
went
to
our
graph
traffic
design
team
and
said
how
do
I
make
this
work
for
the
most
people?
That's
what
we've
trained?
We've
got
a
culture
change
here
that
trains
people
that,
if
you're
creating
something
for
the
community,
you
need
to
create
it.
AB
So
it
works
for
everyone,
and
we
have,
as
I
mentioned
a
graphics
team
who's
been
trained
in
Universal
Design,
who
implemented
just
that
one
little
change,
but
because
of
that
it
doesn't
matter.
If
you
can
see
the
color,
it
works
for
everyone
across
the
board.
So
I
agree
with
you.
We
need
to
do
better,
but
you
can
see
it
just
tonight
and
I
got
so
excited
that
enthusiasm,
you're
talking
about.
AB
Y
Y
L
X
I
think,
council
member,
if
all
these
here
really
made
some
great
discussion
and
talking
about.
M
X
And
I
really
appreciate
that
I
remember
going
to
the
Bellevue
Network
on
Aging
when
I
was
first
the
second
year
here
in
council
meeting
and
had
a
presentation
on
on
you
know,
design
and
and
I
know,
there's
some
real
changes,
some
real
improvements
and
all
that
something's
really
gotten
into
you,
know
more
and
more
into
the
public
working
on
that.
So
that's
really
great
and
talk
about
enthusiasm.
I
everybody's
raised
a
lot
of
these
other
things.
X
What
I
want
to
do
is
is
personally
because
it
really
makes
me
very
excited
about
this
and
what
the
work
you're
doing
and
remembering
a
lot
of
things.
I
spent
from
late
80s
to
I
mean
late
60s,
actually
to
mid
80s
as
a
regional
attorney
for
Hew
in
Dallas
five
state
region,
and
we
had
you
know:
title
sticks,
Civil,
Rights,
Act
and
then
Title
IX
and
in
Ada,
and
it
was
really.
X
It
was
really
amazing
to
see
that
and
it's
taken
so
damn
long
to
get
to
where
we
are,
but
it's
just
so
exciting
and
your
Your
Enthusiasm
reminds
me
of
of
that
and
that's
what
it
takes
to
get.
These
things
done
is
to
have
the
knowledge
and
you're
extremely
knowledgeable
in
this
and
articulate,
but
having
that
enthusiasm
is
great.
X
It
really
just
made
me
all
excited
about
the
remembering
a
lot
of
that
that
stuff
and
and
even
into
practice
there
in
Dallas
and
so
I'm,
just
very
pleased
you're
here
and
that
you're
making
helping
us
move
this
forward
and
anything
we
can
all
do
and
I
can
do
to
help
you
that
we'd
be
very
much
appreciate
you
doing
that,
because
it's
very
important
and
when
we
say
you
know,
Bellevue
welcomes
the
world.
Our
diversity
is
our
strength
and
I
say
we
really
mean
it,
and
this
is
part
of
it.
X
A
F
You
mayor,
yeah,
I'm,
not
sure
I,
can
add
too
much
more.
My
colleagues
have
covered
this
ground
quite
well,
but
Blaine
Joy.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
the
presentation
and
Blaine
I
would
call
it
passion
more
than
enthusiasm,
although,
but
the
way
your
eyes
light
up
with
that
one
example
is
just
it's.
F
What
makes
you
so
effective
and
I
so
appreciate
that
and
I
appreciate
the
the
rundown
of
all
the
all
the
improvements,
yes
from
as
simple
as
having
you
know,
a
mics
that
you
can
grab
and
move
closer
to
you.
But
you
know
the
the
the
charging
stations,
which
I
think
is
huge,
the
the
curb
ramps,
102,
fantastic,
the
sidewalks,
yes
accessible
pedestrian
signals,
I
mean
went
on
and
on
and
every
day
we
are
getting
closer
and
closer,
as
you
said,
we're
not
there
yet,
but
every
day
we're
getting
closer
to
being.
F
You
know
that
City
that
truly
welcomes
the
world
and
in
an
inclusive
way,
so
I'm
so
excited
and
proud
of
the
work
that
that
you're
doing
so
so
keep
it
up
and
I
really
look
forward
to
hearing
more.
The
only
question
that
I
have
for
tonight
was
that
you
mentioned
you're
doing
some
more
Outreach
to
learn
about
what
what
other
things
the
community
is
concerned
about
or
ideas
that
they
have
I'm
just
I'm,
just
curious.
F
How
you're
going
about
that
that
Outreach
and
are
using
more
traditional
channels
that
we
use,
as
as
as
a
city,
are
using
different
channels.
I
was
kind
of
curious
how
you're
soliciting
that
feedback
and
then
kind
of
how
that
feedback,
loop
works
and
how
it
goes
into
the
work
that
you're
you're
doing
yeah.
AB
Let's
have
a
conversation,
let's
build
a
relationship
who
do
you
know
who
do
I
know:
let's
relate
on
wheelchair
level
wow.
How
can
I
make
a
connection
right,
creating
an
authentic
Connection
in
that
way,
but
also
that
virtual
space
Dynamic?
That's
the
ticket
folks
with
disabilities
will
jump
on
a
zoom
call.
AB
So
it
seems
like
we've,
cracked,
something
with
this
virtual
environment
virtual
spaces,
and
one
of
the
things
that
staff
is
talking
about
across
the
spectrum
is
making
sure
that
we
don't
lose
that
and
we
continue
to
have
hybrid
options
available
in
our
community
feedback
efforts,
but
also
just
in
our
community
programming
in
general,
because
it
works
for
a
lot
of
people.
So
I
think
those
are
the
two
ways
really
creating
those
authentic
relationships
that
sometimes
start
with
a
concern
and
and
going
from
there
building
that
authentic
relationship.
AB
A
Awesome
well,
I
love
this
presentation
and
I.
Just
wouldn't
be
me
if
I
didn't
have
some
more
I
want
you
to
do
so.
Yeah.
A
A
Also,
oh,
okay,
so
I
love
to
have
you
partner
with
visit
Bellevue
and
have
them
kind
of
look
at
how?
How
does
this
become
a
destination
place
for
people
with
disabilities?
A
I
had
a
friend
visit
who's
in
a
wheelchair
over
the
summer
and
we
got
a
room
at
a
hotel
and
I
call.
It
faux
Ada,
because
it
looked
good
to
me,
but
when
we
went
in
the
shower
was
reversed,
and
so
it
was
like
it
had
the
equipment,
but
was
it
installed
correctly
and
we
had
to
check
out,
we
couldn't
use
it,
and
so
we
found
another
place
that
was
really
accommodating
and
very
comfortable
for
her.
A
But
it
was
amazing
that
this
hotel
that
everybody
goes
to
and
that
it
looked
really
good
on
paper-
was
not
functional
for
somebody
with
a
disability,
so
it'd
be
nice
to
try
to
give
tutorials
to
the
hotels
and
and
the
restaurants
make
sure
that
they
are
actually
accessible
and
then
the
last
thing
is.
As
we
look
at
Wilburton,
you
know
we.
We
have
such
an
amazing
opportunity
to
create
a
neighborhood
that
truly
is
accessible
and
Embraces.
A
Everybody,
so
I
hope
that
you
are
being
tapped
in
our
conversations
when
we
think
of
design
and
and
what
we
can
do
there
so
city
manager.
We
make
sure
that
we're
working
with
his
department
on
that.
Okay,
great
and
with
joy
as
well
all
I
have
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
so
much
all
right.
Well,
that
was
the
last
thing
on
our
on
our
agenda,
so
our
meetings
adjourned.
Thank
you.
