A
A
2023
I
just
want
to
tell
you
up
front
that
we
will
not
be
having
a
meeting
next
week
on
the
21st
and
we
will
resume
on
February.
27Th
I
also
want
to
acknowledge.
We
lost
a
former
council
member
Gene,
Carden,
Carpenter
I
think
her
first
name
was
really
Ava
and
she
was
a
very
powerful
council
member
here,
I
think
in
the
80s
and
I
think
Conrad
did
you
not
didn't
you
serve
with
her.
B
A
Here
she
was
a
a
community
activist
and
a
real
strong
advocate
for
affordable
housing,
so
she
has
a
wonderful
write-up
in
the
paper.
If
you
want
to
look
at
that
up.
Yes,.
E
Contact
with
her
too
I
worked
with
her
when
I
was
a
legislative
director
for
Washington
State
PTA
and
she
was
the
executive
director.
We
worked
for
a
long
time
on
education
issues
and
things
I
saw
just
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
when
she
was
really
getting
sick,
but
she's
Susan,
who
was
an
amazing
person.
Oh.
A
G
H
A
Here
here,
councilmember
lee,
can
you
lead
us
in
the
flag
salute.
B
A
So
we
have
a
commendation
or
a
proclamation
actually
tonight
day
of
action
in
remembrance
for
Japanese-American
incarceration
during
World
War
II,
Proclamation
and
I've
asked
councilmember
Robertson
to
read
this
and
we
have
Kyle
Kenosha
here
who
will
accept
it
afterwards
and
I'll?
Let
you
speak
if
you'd
like
to
and
then
we
can
do
a
picture.
I
Mayor,
whereas
February
19th
marks
the
anniversary
of
President
Franklin
Delano
Roosevelt
signing
Executive
Order
9066
in
1942
Which
authorized
the
United
States
government
to
create
military
exclusion.
Areas
frequently
referred
to
as
internment
camps
for
Japanese
Americans
living
on
the
west
coast
and
whereas
more
than
120
000
Japanese
Americans,
including
American
citizens
and
those
born
in
the
country,
were
forcibly
relocated
from
their
homes
to
camps
to
remote,
Inland
parts
of
the
continent.
And
whereas,
among
those
incarcerated,
were
more
than
300
women,
men
and
children
of
Japanese,
asterisk
ancestry,
who
called
Bellevue
home
at
that
time.
I
Whereas
the
well-documented
cost
was
Heavy,
both
emotionally
and
financially,
with
many
Japanese
Americans
losing
their
homes,
businesses,
property
and
savings.
And
whereas
Bellevue
lost
a
generation
of
Japanese
American
residents,
when
only
11
of
the
60
families
returned
to
the
area
after
1945
and
whereas
the
United
States
government
formally
apologized
for
the
internment
policy
in
1988.
I
Therefore,
on
behalf
of
Mayor
Lynn
Robinson,
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
city
council,
I
do
hereby
Proclaim
February
19
2023
as
day
of
action
and
Remembrance
for
Japanese
American
incarceration
during
World
War
II,
and
urge
the
residents
of
Bellevue
to
reflect
on
this
unfortunate
time
in
our
nation's
history.
The
city
further
reaffirms
its
commitment
to
protecting
the
civil
rights
of
everyone
in
our
community
sign
Lynn,
Robinson,
mayor
of
Bellevue.
A
J
This
is
significant
to
this
Seattle
JCL,
which,
as
a
chapter,
stood
in
the
Forefront
of
the
effort
and
personally
important
to
the
memory
of
my
own
mother,
Cherry
Kenosha,
who
is
recognized
by
former
Governor
Mike
Lowry
as
a
driving
force
behind
redress
like
her.
We
should
not
rest
until
Justice
in
society
is
attained
for
this
channel.
J
shells
also
commemorating
the
anniversary
of
the
Executive
Order
9066,
by
designating
this
Saturday
as
day
of
remembrance
and
resistance,
with
first
and
Liberty
event
at
the
Washington
State
Fairgrounds.
J
Because
of
their
race
and
at
a
1pm
event
at
the
Tacoma
Northwest
Detention
Center,
where
we're
creating
awareness
of
the
hundreds
today
who
have
been
incarcerated
solely
because
of
their
immigration
status.
To
conclude,
we
joined
with
the
Bellevue
city
council
and
committing
to
inclusion,
access,
Equity
opportunity
and
the
protection
of
civil
rights
for
all.
Thank
you.
G
J
A
F
Speakers
pre-registered
this
evening
for
oral
Communications
and
before
I
start
calling
names
I'll
remind
the
public
that
oral
Communications
is
for
a
period
of
no
longer
than
30
minutes.
Each
person
will
be
allowed
three
minutes
to
speak
and
only
three
people
will
be
allowed
to
speak
to
any
one
side
of
a
particular
Topic.
In
addition,
this
is
an
election
year
for
the
city
council
and
I
will
mention
that,
in
compliance
with
Washington
state
public
disclosure
laws
regarding
the
use
of
public
facilities
during
elections,
no
election
related
topics
may
be
discussed
during
oral
Communications.
F
This
includes
discussion
of
ballot
measures,
endorsement
of
candidates
or
political
parties
and
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
campaign,
including
your
own,
any
speaker
who
begins
discussing
topics
on
this
of
this
nature,
May
forfeit
their
time
during
oral
Communications.
With
that
I'll
call
our
first
Speaker,
who
is
Wendy,
Tyner
and
Miss
Tyner
is
joining
us
virtually
Miss.
K
Tyner,
can
you
hear
me
I
can
hear
you.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
having
me
via
Zoom,
I,
hope.
You
can
see
my
expression
and
my
excitement
and
my
enthusiasm
for
this
year
and
I'm
not
a
fan
of
Zoom,
but
of
course
it
does
work
under
these
circumstances.
So
anyway,
I'm
Wendy,
Tyner
and
I'm,
one
of
the
organizers
for
wintergrass
music
festival,
we're
just
10
days
away
and
held
at
the
Hyatt
Regency
and
now,
for
the
first
time
we'll
be
at
the
Westin
hotel.
K
The
highlights
this
year
include
multi-instrumentalist
Tommy
Emmanuel
Dan
tyminski,
who
was
the
singing
voice
for
George
Clooney
in
the
movie
Oh
Brother,
Where,
Art,
Thou
and
other
bands
that
support
our
theme
torch
and
twang.
Our
efforts
to
support
bands
coming
from
Louisiana
now,
although
wintergrass
has
historically
been
very
fiscally
conservative
in
our
decision
making
expanding
into
the
Westin,
was
definitely
a
think
outside
the
box
move.
This
is
our
way
to
invite
More
Bellevue
residents
to
attend.
K
Needless
to
say,
we
invite
you
to
also
come
to
the
Hyatt
for
more
than
one
show,
but
with
busy
schedule
schedules
that
may
work
for
those
who
can't
who've
never
attended
the
wintergrass
before
we
suspect
if
they
attend
one
show
they'll
come
back
for
more
so
Bluegrass
and
Bellevue
what
a
fun
alliteration
I'm
such
a
fan
of
alliterations
we're
celebrating
our
14th
year
in
Bellevue
and
our
30th
as
a
Festival.
K
This
year
was
exceptionally
a
memorable
year
for
us

Bellevue
awarded
wintergrass
the
event
of
the
Year
award,
and
you

us
with
a

Thank

These
acknowledgments
Inspire
us
to
be
more
creative
in
everything.
We
do
we're
most
thankful
to
you
right
now
for
the
recent
Eeps
Grant
award
or

used
to
improve
our
education
programs,
offer
scholarships
to
students,
allow

children
12
and
under

free
and
to
keep
ticket
prices
affordable
for
seniors
and
those
in
the
military.
So
please
stop!
K
By
for
free
anyone

walk
around
the
Hyatt,
the
Westin
and
Lincoln
Square
to
visit
the
exhibitors
watch.
The

and
even

the
main
area.
You

go
to
wintergrass.com
so
back
to
the
alliteration
Bluegrass
in
beautiful
buildings
in
Bellevue.
There
you
go.
Thank
you.
L
L
Zikael,
my
dirty
damn
Nazi
guessed
up
a
democracy,
fascist,
Crook
and
psychopath
my
name.
Alexander
speaks
something
about
something.
What
is
I
call
duty,
duty,
Crooks
and
I.
Give
you
a
little
bit
example.
What
does
this
mean
to
me
into
you
too?
L
Almost
two
months
ago,
I
go
I,
speak
in
Bellevue
school
board
meeting
when
I
start
speaking
after
five
seconds,
three
idiots
come
to
me.
Three
men
idiot
come
to
me
pick
up
me.
He
tried
to
take
me
out
mentally
sick
people,
no
problem,
it's
not
first
time
in
my
life.
What
is
a
touch
idiot?
L
It's
too
many
idiot
around,
so
I
make
to
complain
to
board
discriminatory
complaint.
Is
it's
very
interesting
because
discriminatory
complaint
was
to
be
investigating
answer
to
nothing
happens?
They
refuse
give
me
answer
this.
Not
only
refusalem,
they
give
me
trespassing
trespasses.
He
told
me
I'm
support,
Nazi
I'm
Nazi
supporter.
You
understand
what
this
mean.
So
to
me,
this
look
like
they
are
pure
Crooks
liar,
and
everything
to
me
is
look
like
a
daughter
in
Nazi
Pig
and
don't
give
answer
for
two
discriminatory
complaint.
L
L
And
I
spoke
right
now
to
you,
lady
Amer.
You
know
what
this
mean.
I
said
this.
Like
my
complaint
to
you,
we
don't
have
something
in
Bellevue.
What
is
can
recognize
discriminatory
complain
what
is
ignored
in
this
situation,
Seattle
school
board
or
so
super
wiser.
You
know
what
is
me
if
you
have
a
human
commission,
you
know
what
is
mean
and
I
spoke
to
them
few
times
in
talk
in
Seattle.
We
have
human
right
commission.
What
is
accept
every
complaint?
You
know
what
this
mean,
what
has
happened
in
city?
L
We
don't
have
hair
and
human
right.
Commission
is
a
pure
freaking
idioter.
You
know
what
this
means
and
I
ask
him
why
you
do
not
accept
complain
so,
right
now,
I
speak
to
you
to
everybody
in
tumer,
exactly
doing
something.
You
know
what
has
been,
because
we
don't
have
this
in
in
Bellevue.
Is
this
very
important
stand
up,
America
Clincher.
F
M
Hi
I'm
Sally
Lawrence
I've
spoken
to
you
before.
Thank
you
for
allowing
more
more
commentary
I'm
again
speaking
about
the
Isola
development
project.
That's
proposed
for
Lakemont
Boulevard,
the
organization
that
I'm
chair
of
is
called
safe,
Coal
Creek
and
we
had
a
really
fabulous
rally.
Last
Saturday
at
Newcastle,
Beach
Park
in
Bellevue,
over
120
people
came
and
they
came
from
all
over
Bellevue.
They,
some
of
them
started
at
Red,
Town,
Trailhead,
hiking.
M
Some
walked
on
the
city
streets
with
with
signs
a
few
kayaked
and
a
couple
biked
to
to
Newcastle
beach
park
and
I
want
to
thank
especially
the
parks
department
which,
a
day
before
we
we
thought
we
were
going
to
have
a
lot
of
people.
So
we
asked
that
they
open
up
an
extra
parking
area
and
normally
they
don't
do
that
till
Memorial
day,
but
they
opened
up
the
parking
spaces
for
us.
So
we
had
plenty
of
parking
and
it
was
sunny.
People
really
enjoyed
themselves,
so
that
was
successful,
but
it
was
a
protest
March.
M
We
are
concerned
that
the
isole
development
process
is
moving
forward
very
quickly
to
a
March
2nd
public
hearing,
so
we
had
120
people
there
and
our
gathering
was
to
raise
awareness
and
make
people
aware
that
this
could
change
the
the
the
open
space
that
most
folks
who
who
hike
or
take
walks
down
at
red,
Town
Trailhead,
will
will
be
very
much
affected
by
this
and
right
now,
there's
very
little
time
for
City
and
County
governments
to
work
together.
We
think
this
is
a
really
urgent
matter.
M
It's
a
prime
time
to
try
to
open
up
a
conversation
with
Isola
and
to
offer
offer
funds
that
are
available
in
in
county
and
City
they've
been
set
aside
through
our
Parks
levees.
So
this
is
a
really
important
time
for
these
conversations
to
start,
and
really
this
is
a
win-win
situation,
we're
not
taking
anything
away
from
the
developer
or
the
developer
will
be
properly
adequately
compensated
and
it'll
be
a
win
for
the
city.
This
city
is
known
for
its
parks
and
this
particular
location.
M
The
reason
we've
been
very
insistent
on
looking
at
it
is
because
it's
kind
of
the
jewel
in
the
crown.
It's
right
between
a
County,
Park
and
a
city
park,
and
it
has
has
the
capability
to
help
keep
improving
Coal,
Creek
and
its
salmon
and
preserve
the
open
Recreation
that
we've
been
enjoying
for
so
many
years.
M
F
F
Yes,
we
can
hold
on
one
second,
okay,
there
you
go,
you
can
begin
now.
Thank.
N
You
ma'am
good
evening
Bellevue
city
council,
Joe
councilor,
here
our
various
and
deep
concern
over
your
public
comment
policy.
It
appears
that
your
mayor
believes
and
I
hope.
This
is
my
misperception.
That
is
her
song
duty
to
sacrifice
her
beliefs
to
allow
one
Alexander
to
campaign
and
Hate
I
want
to
begin
by
thinking
profusely
your
Deputy
Mayor
and
councilmember
Robinson
for
tuning
your
back.
So
now
it's
in
merman
tonight
you
are
showing
moral
and
physical
cards
against
a
modern
day
Nazi.
N
That
said,
whenever
I
hear
sea
kale
and
such
I
hear
a
call
for
genocide
for
the
disabled,
the
lbdtq
community
and
yes,
Jews
again
I
thought
we
believed
and
never
again
that
every
time
your
mayor,
appeases
Alex
Zimmerman,
it's
like
the
1930s
all
over
again,
then
we
experienced
January
the
6th
and
February
the
24th.
What
conclusions
are
to
be
drawn
I
believe
Mr
Zimmerman
is
using
the
city
council
as
a
base
of
operations
for
his
campaign
of
hate.
N
If
this
Council
and
mayor
cannot
enforce
a
state
law
prohibiting
campaigning
during
public
comment,
I
will
take
this
matter
before
the
public.
The
scholarship
commissioned
for
the
continued
Aid
and
comfort
that
is
provided
I,
ask
you,
make
an
honest
Lady
of
your
mayor
and
please
copy
the
South
Transit
board.
Public
comment.
N
Rules
and
use
them
stand
up
for
your
community
as
your
resident
and
one
of
my
heroes
and
Claudia
badass
sushi
is
at
the
Puget
Sound
Board
and
it
sound
transit
board
and
if
you
just
saw
Regional
Council
sorry
for
the
misspeak
to
quote
Solinski
to
you.
The
main
Act
of
Courage
is
endurance
of
bringing
one
works
to
to
the
end.
In
spite
of
everything,
the
truth
eliminates
our
path,
we
know
her.
We
protect
her
Our
Truth
is
a
struggle
for
freedom.
Freedom
comes
at
a
high
price,
but
slavery
is
even
higher.
N
O
Hi
good
evening,
thanks
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
come
tonight,
my
Mary
Kay
Cut,
Hill
and
I'm
here,
representing
a
group
of
ladies
and
parents,
neighbors
and
community
members
of
the
city
of
Seattle
of
city
of
Bellevue.
Excuse
me
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
all
of
you
guys.
You
know
how
many
of
you
been
been
on
a
team
before
I.
O
Fine
I
wasn't
really
expecting
an
answer.
It
was
just
more
of
a
rhetorical
question
and
I
asked
the
question
merely
because
I
think
we
all
have
been
part
of
a
team
at
one
point
or
another,
whether
it's
you
know
a
sports
team,
a
community
team,
dance
team
but
but,
most
importantly,
a
work
team
we're
all
part
of
a
team
together,
and
we
do
that
in
in
efforts
to
be
United
and
and
be
successful.
O
I
think
a
lot
of
us
maybe
watch
the
Super
Bowl
yesterday,
and
on
the
back
of
that
we
saw
some
successful
amazing
two
teams
that
have
worked
obviously
really
well
together
from
the
coaches
to
the
players
to
the
staff.
You
know
that's
what
makes
a
team
successful.
O
So
what
is
successful
team
look
like
it
looks
just
like
that.
It
looks
like
the
hard-working
efforts
that
are
united
they're
following
the
rules.
They're
dedicated
there's,
not
one
person,
that's
standing
out,
they're,
all
working
together
and
unfortunately,
we
do
see
those
teams
that
are
not
successful
and
those
teams
are
the
ones
that
are
broken
and
they're,
not
following
the
rules
together,
they
have
a
tendency
to
just
be
Rogue
in
what
they're
doing
and
they're,
not
following
along
and
being
united
together,
and
so
the
some
of
those
teams
can
also
be
look
like
cities.
O
Those
cities
can
be
unsuccessful
as
well,
and
we
see
that
we're
seeing
that
all
across
our
country-
and
it's
very
sad
and
it's
disheartening
and
as
a
team
of
city
of
Bellevue,
this
we're
part
of
our
your
team.
We're
here
we're
your
neighbors,
we're
your
friends.
We
are
community
members
and,
most
importantly,
we're
your
taxpayers
and
we
know,
as
your
leaders
you're,
our
leaders
you're
part
of
our
team,
and
we
all
need
to
be
United
together
to
fight
the
crime,
to
fight
the
criminals
and
to
fight
the
lawlessness
that
is
happening.
O
O
We've
we're
at
dinner
parties
we're
at
neighborhood
sporting
events,
and
we
all
talk
about
how
sad
it
is
to
see
some
of
these
cities
that
are
that
are
losing
their
their
communities
they're,
losing
this
feeling
of
being
safe
and
they
are
our
cities,
are
shutting
down
and
closing
storefronts
they're
closing
homes,
they're
moving
out
of
the
cities,
they're
leaving
our
schools
and
we're
seeing
that
far
too
often,
so
I
hope
that
we
can
be
successful
and
be
together
as
a
team.
Thank
you
that.
F
I
I
appreciate
it
everything
he
said,
but
I
wanted
I
think
that
you're
being
treated
a
little
bit
unfairly
and
I
wanted
to
come
to
the
defense
of
the
mayor
and
the
council,
because
no
one
up
here
agrees
with
Miss
what
Mr
Zimmerman
says.
We
all
think
he's
ridiculous.
We
all
think
that
he's
hateful,
but
if
we
have
open
public
comment,
we
have
to
let
people
comment.
I
personally
turn
my
back,
but
if
we
all
walked
out
of
the
room,
the
meeting
would
stop.
I
So
we
have
to
sit
up
here
and
take
it
and
say
nothing
and
I
know
that
mayor
Robinson
doesn't
like
it
any
more
than
anyone
else
listening
or
sitting
up
here
with
their
whether
their
chair
is
turned
or
not.
So
but
that's
America.
We
have
the
right.
If
we
have
an
open
public
comment,
people
have
the
right
to
come
and
speak
even
if
we
don't
like
it
so
I
appreciated
Mr,
Consular
coming
and
giving
his
using
his
right
to
free
speech
to
condemn
the
hateful
terrible
comments
that
we
endure
week
after
week.
A
You
thank
you
and
I'll
just
say
that
Mr
kunsler
sent
an
email,
that's
going
to
be
responded
to
by
our
Clerk
and
our
attorney
that
talks
about
that
in
detail.
If
there's
anybody
in
the
community
who
wants
to
know,
though,
to
know
the
details
of
free
speech
and
what
we
can
tolerate
or
not,
you
can
ask
us
for
an
explanation,
be
happy
to
provide
it
for
you
and
thank
you
for
your
comments.
J
A
So,
city
clerk
there's
a
little
confusion
here
because
in
you
had
directed
that
we
would
take
up
item
8j
after
the
consent
calendar.
But
then
you
also
said
it
would
be
in
other
ordinances
resolutions
and
motions
which
is
at
the
back
end
of
our
meeting.
Yep.
A
P
Item
excuse
me:
animej
is
a
resolution
authorizing
execution
of
a
Professional
Services
agreement
with
the
Performing
Arts
Center,
the
east
side,
also
known
as
Pace,
to
provide
event
Management
Services
for
our
Bellwether
Arts
Festival
for
initial
two-year
term,
with
options
of
three
and
one
year,
renewals
of
the
maximum
of
five
and
for
a
total
contract
amount
not
to
exceed
of
six
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
so
we
have
staff
here
to
respond
to
any
questions
or
that
the
council
may
have
with
respect
to
item
eight
okay.
So.
A
B
Appreciate
the
council
and
the
through
racist
and
pull
out
of
the
consent
calendar.
This
is
the
topic
we
were
all
familiar
with.
We
will
support
it's
about
valve
where
the
art
program,
it's
the
artwork
and
creative
event,
that
can
be
an
expression
of
how
a
strong,
diverse
community
and
also
we
can
further
history
and
all
that,
so
we
will
support
it.
No
question
about
it.
We
discussed
extensively.
The
question
I
have
is
in
the
Contracting
process
itself.
B
This
is
you
know,
I
mean
a
significant
amount
of
money,
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
when
I
look
at
the
information,
that's
provided
in
the
packet.
You
know,
as
of
this
weekend,
I
have
a
number
of
questions
in
my
mind,
so
I
just
want
no
one
to
just
cut
right
to
it.
I
had
the
staff
from
the
community.
B
You
know
Department
talked
to
me
this
morning
and
I
asked
the
number
of
questions
and
I
was
not
I,
believe
you
know,
given
the
information
I
needed
as
a
result.
This
is
the
time
for
me
to
bring
them
up
and
so
I
appreciate
you
answering
them
and,
as
we
know,
it's
not
a
question
of
your
staff
work
I
mean
you,
I've
served
the
council
for
30
years.
I,
don't
think
you
ever
heard
me
say
one
word
bad
about
negative
about
staff.
We
probably
have
the
best
staff
in
the
country,
okay,.
B
I
just
go
with
that,
okay,
but
it's
a
question
of
how
we
need
to
I
do
as
a
decision
maker
give
you
the
proper
direction,
information
guidance
so
that
you
know
which
then
you
are
safe
to
do
what
what
you
have
to
do.
My
question
is:
unless
I
miss
something
you
know,
that's
difficult.
I
may
so
just
bear
with
me.
B
But
my
question
is:
what
process
I
don't
see
it
in
your
report
that
you
went
through
I
I,
you
talked
to
three
postback
contractors
or
people
eShop,
Bellevue,
Art,
Museum
and
pace.
That's
what
I
was
told.
I'm.
Q
B
Okay,
it's
not
presented
so
I
asked
for
it
this
morning.
I
didn't
get
it
so
I'm
asking
again
and
I
know
that
decision
was
made
with
having
a
negotiate
agreement
with
pace
so
I
asked
about
you
know
what
pace
has
done
the
qualifications
and
how
does
it
fit
in
the
ivp
requirement
and
number
one
two
is
I
did
see
a
work
plan
work
scope
as
to
what
will
be
done
for
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
two
years.
Understandably,
first
year
is
300
and
then
the
other
300
second
year.
That's
fine.
B
I
look
through
the
contract,
but
it's
very
general,
very
big.
They
need
yeah,
so
I
I
can
win
through
the
whole
thing,
but
I
just
found
that
it's
got
information
I,
don't
know
how
other
council
members
felt,
but
I
do
I'll.
B
A
A
B
A
B
A
B
B
Paste,
what's
this
experience
related
to
the
work
plan,
you
have
in
mind
I'm,
not
even
saying
what
it
is
because
I
don't
know
what
it
is.
So
they
said
well,
they
participated
a
year
ago
last
year.
So
how
does
participation
qualify
for
there.
Q
The
question
of
qualifications
is
an
excellent
one.
Pace,
as
many
people
know
is
an
organization
that
has
four
for
many
years,
been
looking
to
build
a
large
Performing,
Arts
Center
in
Bellevue
and
I.
Think
that's
how
many
people
know
them.
Additionally,
they
also
do
programming
on
an
ongoing
basis
within
our
community,
so
some
of
their
major
programs
are
Arts
without
barriers.
This
is
an
ongoing
live
performance
at
multiple
locations
throughout
the
East
Side,
just
in
last
year,
in
2022
they
performed
they
had.
Q
They
drew
audiences
of
over
63
000
to
these
performances,
and
they
did
that
on
a
budget
of
about
80
grand,
they
also
have
an
event
called
I'm.
Sorry,
I
lost
my
place
in
my
notes.
Here
they
have
an
event
called
Pace
presents,
which
is
served
over
81
000
people
during
the
months
of
April
through
December
of
2022.,
so
they
are
accustomed
to
large
event,
production
with
large
audiences.
Q
B
A
B
B
A
B
A
H
A1
includes
the
full
scope
of
work
of
what
we're
actually
getting
and
I'm
quite
excited
that
on
page
12,
sorry,
Paige,
yes,
p12
item
four
talks
about
sponsorship
and
I'm
actually
very
pleased
with
the
staff
about
the
fact
that
there's
a
commitment
here
that
Pace
shall
meet
a
minimum
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
by
the
end
of
2024
of
sponsorships.
H
So
we
are
not
actually
funding
Bellwether
on
our
own
and
the
expectation
from
the
consultant
is
that
they're
actually
going
to
bring
in
at
minimum
the
150
000
of
sponsorship,
and
that's
really
what
public
private
Partnerships
are
all
about,
that
we
are
quite
proud
of
so
I
I
want
to
lift
that
up,
because
I
think
that's
an
important
element
that
now
that
we're
having
an
opportunity
to
have
this
item
in
front
of
us
to
to.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate.
A
E
Yeah
as
the
liaison
for
the
Arts
commission,
this
is
a
process
that
is
gone.
We've
done
this
for
years
and
years
and
years,
it's
the
same
process,
the
same
thing
with
the
Human
Services,
Commission
and
all
of
the
information
is,
is
accessible
to
council
members
at
any
time,
they're,
just
we
they're
operating
under
a
budget
that
we
passed
with
General
guidance
on
the
activities.
E
It's
always
been
available,
Council
Arts,
commission
meetings
are
open
and
to
you
to
the
public
it's
thoroughly
discussed.
We
have
an
Arts
commission
as
the
with
other
boards
and
commissions
to
do
this
work
on
the
details
and
to
go
through
it
and
meet
the
guidelines
that
the
council
has
set
broadly,
and
that
has
has
happened.
The
Arts
commission
or
the
Arts
staff
has
done
a
tremendous
job
on
this.
E
G
You
mayor
I,
appreciate
councilmember
Lee
having
some
some
concerns
and
pulling
it
as
any
of
us
can
right
when
we
have
a
question
or
or
we
have
concerns
so
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
that
he
did
that,
hopefully,
the
questions
that
he's
looking
for
are
getting
answered,
I,
re-read
and
I
was
satisfied
with
the
process.
The
scope
Etc,
with
with
with
Pace
I'm
sure
there
is
Lori
some
kind
of
clause
in
there.
G
I
didn't
see
it
right
away,
but
I
was
just
going
to
ask
you
just
to
verify,
because
I'm
sure
councilmemberly
would
be
curious
too.
If,
if
we're
unsatisfied
with
their
performance
within
the
first
year
that
we
can,
we
can
move
the
contract
somewhere
else.
So
you're
nodding
your
head,
so
that's
appropriate,
so
I'm
fine
with
it.
Thank
you
so
much
appreciate
your
hard
work.
A
And
I'll
just
say
that
I,
because
council
member
Lee
brought
my
attention
to
this
I,
read
it
more
carefully
and
I
was
really
very
excited
for
it
actually
I
think
it's
going
to
be
great,
so
I'm,
very
supportive
of
it
as
well.
Are
we
ready
for
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
item
8j?
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed;
okay,
that's
abstention
from
councilmember
Lee,
all
right,
we're
moving
on
to
our
public
hearing
and
thank
you
staff
for
being
here
for
that
Mr
Miyake.
Thank.
P
You
mayor,
council
members,
we
have
a
public
hearing
this
tonight,
it's
on
a
proposed
resolution,
releasing
a
water
easement
and
just
by
way
of
background,
this
particular
easement
was
declared
Surplus
by
the
council
at
your
January
23rd
meeting
tonight.
P
Joining
us
is
Lauren
matlick,
real
property
manager.
With
a
brief,
stat
presentation,
once
the
public
hearing
concludes,
we
would
be
seeking
Council
action
on
the
proposed
resolution
in
your
packet
this
evening,
but
that'll
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
you.
Laura.
R
R
The
developers
requested
the
season
are
released
during
their
permit
process.
The
existing
utility
improvements
within
the
easement
shown
blue
will
be
removed
by
the
developer,
so
the
easement
will
no
longer
be
needed.
New
water
service
will
be
provided
from
the
facilities
within
the
new
public
right-of-way,
so
no
new
utility
easements
will
be
required
for
this
project.
Following
the
public
hearing
staff
requests
Council
action
on
the
proposed
resolution
authorizing
the
release
of
this
easement.
This
ends
our
staff
report.
We
will
be
available
to
answer
any
questions
following
the
public
hearing.
Okay,.
F
L
L
Absolutely
thank
you
very
much,
I
very
appreciate
it.
This
unique
situation
here
real
important
with
disability
yeah
so
about
water,
I,
don't
know
what
does
this
mean
in
this
situation?
But
water
can
have
too
many
different
points.
It's
a
regular
water,
mineral
water
spring
water
is
a
Pepsi,
a
Sprite
I,
don't
know
what
is
water
here,
but
everything
got
as
I
told
you
have
a
discount
for
poor
senior
citizen
in
disabled
in
store
Corporation
doing
this.
Are
you
doing
this?
No
you're
never
doing
for
water
electricity?
L
L
Is
Discount
new
too?
That's
exactly
what's
happening.
He
talked
about
low
income,
he
talked
about
low
income,
so
you
have
discount.
You
have
50
percentage
like
Seattle
cut,
for
everything
is
a
package.
You
cannot
do
in
something
in
one
way,
something
in
another
way:
it's
not
possible.
You
have
low
income,
you
have
disabled,
you
have
low
income
people,
you
have
senior
citizen,
you
know
what
this
mean
you
supposed
to
give
50
percentage
like
see,
yeah
you're
doing
for
everything.
K
L
S
L
It's
not
perfect,
so
yeah
I
demand
but,
as
you
start
doing,
like
all
civilized
people
doing
Bellevue
much
rich
city
in
America,
a
billionaires,
a
millionaire
location
you
can
give
discount
for
senior
citizen,
disabled,
low
income,
water
and
electricity
is
a
package.
Don't
give
me
so
I
am
stupid.
I
spend
the
university
20
years.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
correction.
F
F
N
Allow
some
transit
to
continue
its
vital
work
connecting
the
region
and
that's
my
understanding
of
this
easement.
If
it's
wrong,
I
apologize,
I'm
not
going
to
get
have
a
back
and
forth
between
me
and
Mr.
Zimmerman
I
appreciate
this
mayor
attempting
to
enforce
the
rules,
but
I
think
he
should
be
banned
for
a
period
of
time.
I
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
Thank
you.
F
S
This
is
the
first
council
meeting
I'm
attending
thanks
to
your
Zoom
facilities.
My
a
brief
introduction.
My
name
is
Patrick
sathy
Northern
I
have
been
a
resident
of
Bellevue
since
2006,
when
I
moved
here
to
work
for
Microsoft
and
I
have
a
pressing
issue.
On
my
mind,
a
question
more,
which
is
why
don't
the
Bellevue
Police
Department
have
body.
A
Cameras,
Mr
yeah,
sir
I'm,
so
sorry
to
interrupt
you.
This
is
more
of
a
public
comment
topic
which
is
at
the
beginning
of
our
meeting,
and
we
would
love
to
have
you
speak
at
the
beginning
of
our
next
meeting
and
our
city
clerk
can
let
you
know
exactly
how
to
do
this
right
now
we
are
doing
a
public
hearing
on
a
water
easement
soon.
F
That
is
the
end
of
our
raised
hands.
I,
believe
I,
don't
see
any
additional
hands,
May
or
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you.
Okay,.
R
We
get
back
on
there,
yes,
so
there's
a
Redevelopment
of
an
apartment
building
where
they
have
an
existing
water
easement
under
the
footprint
of
the
building.
They
will
be
redeveloping
this
site,
removing
the
existing
facilities
and
placing
the
the
new
service
in
a
public
right-of-way.
So
this
this
season
is
no
longer
needed.
There
will
be
no
need
for
future
easements
either.
Thank.
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
okay.
So
this
is
pretty
straightforward
in
my
book.
Any
comments
or
questions.
Okay
may
I
have
a
motion.
Certainly.
D
P
P
The
last
step
that
you
received
was
around
this
time
last
year
and
since
then
the
staff
has
been
doing
quite
a
bit
of
work
on
a
number
of
efforts
to
move
the
Bell
red
Arts
District
forward,
so
joining
us
this
evening
to
update
the
council,
are
Jessica
NATO,
our
chief
economic
development
officer,
as
well
as
Lori
Hoffman,
Arts
Community
manager,
both
from
the
Community
Development
Department.
Again,
this
is
a
an
informational
update,
no
direction
or
action
is
required
by
the
council
this
evening.
Over
that
I'll
hand
it
over
to
you
Jesse.
T
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyaki
good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
council
we're
very
much
looking
forward
to
tonight's
update
on
our
work
to
accelerate
the
work
on
the
Velvet
Arts
District.
As
the
council
may
remember,
the
work
around
the
arts
district
really
started
to
come
together
when
we
started
talking
about
updating
the
economic
development
plan
in
2019
and
diversifying
the
economy
working
on
the
creative
side
of
the
house,
improving
cultural
tourism
and
improving
access
to
arts
and
culture
for
our
residents
we're
front
and
center.
T
When
we
started
talking
about
the
arts
district,
of
course,
the
pandemic
came
in
2020,
so
we
couldn't
quite
do
as
much
as
we
wanted,
but
starting
in
2021
and
since
Lori
joined
us
last
year.
We
have
really
been
accelerating
the
work
around
the
arts
district
and
has
never
felt
quite
as
real
as
it
does
today.
There
is
a
an
image
that
you're
going
to
see
tonight
of
an
upcoming
art
piece
that
I
think
really
summarizes
how
I
feel
we're
getting
into
the
arts
district
tonight.
I
think
you'll
know
it.
Q
All
right,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
having
us
tonight.
I
have
the
pleasure
of
coming
to
council
fairly
frequently
and
I
cannot
underline
for
you
enough
how
much
this
is.
The
item
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
so
tonight's
information.
Our
presentation
is
information
and
we're
looking
forward
to
any
feedback
or
notes
that
you
have
for
us.
Our
agenda
will
be
fairly
short
in
terms
of
items,
but
hopefully
diving
into
them
all
a
little
bit
more
deeply.
We're
going
to
start
with
some
background
on
the
arts
district.
Q
Take
a
look
at
a
implementation
plan
that
we
had
drafted
in
2022
and
then
looking
at
our
Art
Market
study
from
Art
Space
Inc
that
we
just
got
a
final
version
on
before
we
take
a
look
at
our
next
steps
so
to
get
into
some
background
Bell
red.
Currently,
our
Bel
Red
neighborhood
has
the
highest
concentration
of
Arts
and
Cultural
businesses
and
organizations
and
artists
in
Bellevue
by
a
large
margin.
We
call
this
a
naturally
occurring
creative
cluster.
Q
This
is
the
common
term
when
we're
talking
about
Arts
districts
out
there,
nothing
made
this
happen.
Nobody
stood
out
there
and
said
we're
going
to
have
artists
come
here.
There
was
a
naturally
a
clear
occurring
set
of
circumstances
that
Drew
artists,
particularly
that
there
were
space
and
that
was
relatively
inexpensive
and
then,
once
a
few
artists
come
in,
they
got
they
gather
their
others
around
them.
Q
In
recognition
of
that,
the
city
first
designated
Bel
Red
our
arts
and
culture
District
in
the
2009
sub-area
plan,
and
then
we
did
further
research
and
you
see
it
further
in
policy
in
our
2020
economic
development
plan,
as
Jesse
stated.
Q
Q
This
is
the
true
epitome
of
data-driven
and
passion
propelled.
Not
only
are
we
do
dotting
our
eyes
and
crossing
our
T's
and
making
sure
we're
doing
it
right.
The
people
in
the
arts
district
are
fiercely
passionate
about
this
place
that
their
home,
you
see
in
front
of
you
here.
This
stranger
cover
I
was
handed
this
I
think
it's
like
from
2018.
H
Q
This,
let's
do
this,
the
sheer
excitement
coming
off
of
them
was
palpatible.
So
let's
take
all
those
studies
and
let's
do
the
next
step,
because
this
this
is
a
community
at
a
Crossroads.
Q
There
are
many
current
creative
businesses,
artists
and
organizations
worried
about
the
rising
cost
and
costs
to
live
here
and
the
loss
of
existing
spaces.
Although
leadership
of
the
district
will
come
from
the
community,
it's
vital
that
the
city
partner
in
the
district's
development
leveraging
City
skills
and
actions
where
needed.
There
is
a
lot
of
Development
coming
to
Bel
Red.
This
is
the
reality,
and
that
is
both
an
opportunity
and
it's
a
challenge
and
it's
one
that
we
are
absolutely
equal
to.
Q
So
taking
all
that
knowledge.
All
that
study
in
2022,
we
received
a
final
copy
of
a
bell
red
Arts,
District
implementation
pen.
It
was
included
in
your
packet
tonight,
and
this
administrative
plan
is
how
we
get
from
here
to
there,
hopefully
in
five
years,
so
I'm
going
to
take
the
rest
of
tonight's
presentation
kind
of
looking
in
the
framework
of
this
implementation
plan.
It
lays
out
four
Focus
areas
for
Arts
District
growth
management,
visibility,
connection
and
creative
space.
Looking
across
Arts
districts
Across
the
Nation
we're
not
the
first
ones
to
do
this.
Q
Q
Management,
the
goal
of
our
management
Focus
area
is
for
the
district
to
have
an
active
and
formal
managing
body
that
can
look
like
a
lot
of
different
things.
The
Rhino
Arts
District
in
Denver,
for
example,
has
four
organizations
that
help
manage
it.
They
have
a
501c3,
a
51c6,
a
business
improvement
district
and
a
general
improvement
district.
All
four
of
those
are
distinct
organizations
and
they
work
together
to
make
that
Arts
District
thrive.
Q
Right
now
we
are
working
with
our
community
members
and
our
career
to
business
partners
to
hopefully
set
up
a
501c3,
maybe
a
C6
that
is
tentatively
called
I've,
been
calling
them.
The
arts
district,
Association
and
you'll
see
that
language
throughout
the
report
in
the
presentation
tonight,
although
I
believe
they
are
looking
to
Now
call
themselves.
The
Bel,
Red
Arts,
District,
Community
Alliance,
and
that
organization
is
working
to
set
up
their
final
formation
paperwork
within
this
quarter.
Q
So
that'll
give
us
a
legal
entity
a
partner,
much
like
the
downtown
Bellevue
Association
that
we
can
work
together
with
to
do
visualization
to
do
activation
to
do
a
host
of
events
or
initiatives.
Some
things
are
appropriate
for
the
city.
Some
things
are
much
easier
for
a
community
partner
they've
been
doing
tremendous
work,
even
as
like
a
Proto
organization.
You
can
see
here
their
logo
and
the
screen
in
front
of
you.
Q
Q
We
have
five
organizations
who
received
that
bonus
Grant
and
we're
bringing
activities
to
Bell
red
this
summer.
We're
also
going
to
briefly
touch
on
tonight
updates
on
public
art
projects
being
installed
along
spring
Boulevard
and
we're
working
on
with
our
folks,
our
partners
in
Transportation
on
Street
banners
and
we'll
work
with
our
creative
businesses
on
Windows
signage.
We
also
have
the
Bell
red
pilot
program,
which
I
want
to
give
you
a
quick
preview
of
tonight.
So
this
is
a
wall,
it's
very
beige!
Q
It's
between
1
32nd
to
134th
on
Spring
Boulevard
on
the
north
side
of
the
street.
It's
a
very
Standard
wall
on
the
other
side
of
it
has
that
texture
pattern
you're
very
familiar
with
in
Bellevue,
and
this
is
an
artist's
sketch
of
what
we
hope
to
put
on
this
wall
this
summer.
Q
So
this
is
a
mural
that
plays
with
themes
of
Transportation
as
you
drive
or
as
you
go
West
on
the
Sound
Transit
train
along
spring
Boulevard,
these
trepidatious
little
snells
are
going
to
try
to
go
with
you,
they're,
going
to
be
shooting
down,
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
decline
or
the
street
goes
down
there
a
little
and
they're
going
to
launch
right
into
the
sky,
trying
to
keep
up
we're
very
excited
for
this.
Q
We
don't
have
to
take
out
the
concrete
once
we
put
the
concrete
in
we're
hoping
to
see
this
installed
late
this
year
early
next
and
then
this
piece,
which
is
called
rooted
by
Jill
anholt,
was
originally
going
to
be
on
121st
Avenue
in
Spring
there
by
the
Spring
District,
there
ended
up
being
some
complications
there
with
The
Pedestrian
pathway,
the
bike
pathway
street
lights.
There
ended
up
being
too
much
going
on
right
there
in
that
mixing
zone,
so
we
went
ahead
and
relocated
the
piece
a
little
bit
more
Westward.
Q
Q
Q
We've
been
doing
several
things,
both
the
arts
district
Association
as
a
whole
staff
here
at
the
city,
I've
personally
been
doing
what
I
call
the
Bell
Road
Show,
which
has
been
just
getting
Folks
up
to
date,
a
presentation
similar
to
this
to
about
60
organizations
getting
folks
caught
up
where
we've
been
and
where
we're
going
and
getting
them
excited
about
the
arts.
District
we've
also
done
creative
business
or
creating
business
door
knocking.
So
this
summer
we
went
and
literally
knocked
on
the
doors
of
our
neighbors
said.
Hi.
Q
We're
here
here
are
all
the
business
services
that
we
have
as
a
city
for
any
business.
Also,
at
the
time
there
were
several
Grants
open
for
Creative
businesses
from
the
state
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
folks
in
Bellevue
knew
when
we
could
pull
those
State
dollars
into
our
community,
and
I
cannot
underline
enough
that
getting
these
four
things
management
visibility,
connection
creative
space-
it
is,
it
is
a
one
city,
one
Community
effort.
Q
We
need
all
these
Partners
working
together
to
get
this
done
and
I've
been
very
heartened
and
the
amount
of
excitement
and
the
amount
of
will
do
will
can
do
that
I've
heard
from
the
community.
It's
a
good
place
to
be,
and
then
finally,
the
the
maybe
the
trickiest
and
hardest
of
the
focus
areas
is
creative
space.
Q
Q
So
as
we
work
on
the
arts
district,
of
course,
we'll
talk
about
boundaries
and
borders,
we'll
work
with
our
comp
planning
team
to
get
that
in
with
the
Bell
red.
Look
forward
make
sure
those
things
align,
we're
also
going
to
talk
with
our
developing
Community,
our
develop
our
community
to
make
sure
that
they're
aware
advocate
for
Creative
spaces,
but
where
we
own
land
or
where
we
have
control.
What
more
can
we
do?
Q
I'm,
also
really
proud
to
announce
that
there
have
been
three
new
creative
businesses
that
have
come
to
Bel
Red,
who
have
found
space
and
who
have
made
physical
investment
in
our
community.
The
yanru
Arts
Center
is
a
5
000
square
foot,
art
facility
art,
like
kind
of
what
we'd
call
a
white
wall
Gallery
in
the
Bell
red
Arts
District.
It's
a
beautiful
place
where
the
community
can
gather
she's.
Very
the
owner
is
very
open
to
community-based
shows.
This
is
our
second
location.
Q
Her
first
is
in
Taipei
and
it's
very
excited
that
her
second
is
in
the
Bell
red
Arts
District.
We
also
have
Eastside
Pottery
opened
a
24-hour
Pottery
studio
for
adults.
If
you
want
to
take
a
pottery
class,
you
can
do
so
in
the
arts
district
right
now
and
on
the
screen
in
front
of
you,
you
see
a
photo
from
the
current
construction
of
theater
33..
If
you're
familiar
theater
33
is
our
Russian
language
theater
here
in
Bellevue,
and
they
are
very
excited
to
open
this
new
facility
within
the
next.
Hopefully
a
couple
months.
Q
So
what's
next
we
have
these
venues
opening.
But
what
more
can
we
do?
An
Arts
District
needs
anchors.
It
needs
more
than
small
spaces,
it
needs
major
facilities.
We
have
Pacific
Northwest
ballet
and
what
else
so,
we've
spent
the
last
year
working
with
Art
Space
Consulting,
to
look
at
what
affordable
artist,
housing
and
creative
commercial
space
would
look
like
in
Bel,
Red.
Q
So,
to
give
you
some
background
in
2017,
building
off
our
strategies
in
the
and
the
draft,
affordable
housing
strategy
and
as
a
means
to
Leverage
The
Economic
and
place
making
potential
of
the
Arts
Bellevue
contracted
with
Art
Space
to
conduct
a
feasibility
study
on
the
potential
for
affordable
artist,
housing
and
arts
facility
somewhere
in
the
district.
The
results
of
that
preliminary
feasibility
study
are
available
in
the
city's
website
and
in
2021
staff
began
conversations
with
artspace
about
the
next
step
and
their
need
to
deliver
affordable
artist,
housing
and
commercial
space.
Q
In
2022,
working
with
a
core
group
of
community
members,
artspace
launched
the
Art
Market
study
to
assess
the
market
needs
and
Community
demand.
This
is
the
study
consisted
of
two
main
parts
and
arts.
Sorry
consisted
of
an
artist
survey
and
then
focus
groups
for
Arts
organizations
and
creative
businesses.
Q
The
survey
collection
from
artists
was
very,
very
strong.
We
were
hoping
for
about
300
to
400
survey
results
and
we
got
437
and
then
the
the
response
in
that
was
a
high
need
for
Creative
space.
It
was
actually
a
little
different
than
we
had
thought.
We
thought
housing
would
come
out
on
top.
The
shared
creative
space
coming
up
as
the
highest
need
was
a
little
bit
of
a
surprise,
but
it
tells
us
where
our
community
is
they
want
a
place
to
gather.
Q
Q
Q
They
are
recommending
that
we
prioritize
the
free
shared
spaces
that
residents
can
that
for
Resident
support,
including
exhibitions,
teaching
and
small
performance,
education
and
teaching
came
out
very
strongly
in
our
survey
responses.
A
lot
of
our
artists
make
their
money
as
doing
workshops
and
teaching
so
they
might
make,
but
then
they
also
teach
in
their
community,
and
then
we
saw
the
need
for
up
to
74
private
Studios,
which
was
a
surprise.
This
is
not
Studios
is
in
a
studio
apartment.
Q
This
is
a
working
studio
in
addition
and
separate
to
living
space
and
then,
of
course,
the
high
need
for
shared
specialized
creative
and
that
could
be
a
wide
range
of
things,
but
the
things
that
came
up
the
most
were
drawing
Studios
Workshop
space
galleries,
rehearsal
spaces
and
artisanal
light
industrial
that'd
be
things
like
pottery.
Q
Q
What
a
fit
study
might
look
like
really
get
down
to
some
of
that
work
and,
of
course
we
will
continue
working
with
the
Arts
Bel
Red
Arts
District
Association,
as
they
formalize
and
get
started
on
their
work
this
summer
and
in
the
into
the
fall,
and
then
we're
very,
very
much
looking
forward
to
bringing
some
of
that
visualization
like
we.
We
saw
earlier
all
right.
That
was
our
our
presentation
tonight.
If
there's
any
questions,
I'd
be
I'd,
be
very
happy
to
answer
them.
A
E
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
this
is.
This
is
really
very
exciting.
It's
been
a
long
time
coming,
we've
talked
about
in
bill
red
for
probably
going
back
before.
E
Bellevue
Brewing
set
its
place
up
and
we
have
space
in
there
and
we've
talked
about
all
these
issues,
and
it's
one
of
these
things
that
it
takes
time
for
momentum
and
we're
at
a
space
where
now
we're
really
getting
things
done,
and
it's
it's
building
on
a
history
of
Need
for
this
and
fortunately
the
artists
have
not
abandoned
the
district,
so
they're
on
time,
which
is
good,
but
one
of
the
things
about
this,
too,
is
when
we
go
into
BDA
trips
or
other
trips
around
to
look
at
other
cities.
E
This
is
one
of
the
main
things
people
look
at
and
one
of
the
things
we
come
back
from
amazing.
You
know
facilities
like
this,
and
we
can
do
this
and
we
can
do
that
as
well
as
anybody
else
we
just
haven't
had
the
time
we
haven't
gotten
there
yet
we're
here
now.
E
You
know
the
train
is
actually
going
on
this
one,
and
the
exciting
thing
about
it
is
is,
as
Laurie
said,
in
terms
of
the
art
that's
already
going
out
there
and
combining
that
with
East
rail,
combining
that
with
the
other
parts
of
the
city
that
are
connected
and
with
the
growth
in
Wilburton
and
growth
in
Bel
Red,
and
that's
that's
going
to
be
a
fantastic
district
and
it's
meeting
all
the
needs.
We've
needed
housing
for
for
the
artists.
E
We
need
space
for
them
and
we
needed
encouragement
and
and
opening
up
in
the
community.
X
is
one
of
these
things
where
the
community
is
bringing
this
to
us
now
and
they're,
the
ones
that
are
driving
this,
because
people
want
to
do
this
and
we
can
do
it
and
we
have
the
capability
and
particularly
I,
do
want
to
give
great
kudos
to
both
Lori
and
Jesse.
E
For
doing
this,
this
whole
concept
of
going
and
understanding
about
the
economic
you
know
Arts,
as
is
affecting
the
economy,
is
great,
but
the
biggest
thing
for
us
is
the
Arts
and
the
effect
on
people
and
human
beings
and
how
much
we
enjoy
this
place.
It's
making
Bellevue
it's
one
of
the
parts
that
really
makes
Bellevue
a
diverse,
active,
wonderful,
City
and
with
a
great
arts,
and
we
will
have
great
Arts
to
in
Bellevue.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
this
and
the
the
event.
E
The
piece
that
you
showed
the
big
statue
there
is
really
connecting
something
else
that
has
come
along
has
made
this
very
vital
and
very
I.
I.
Think
accelerated
is
the
East
rail
piece
with
the
Arts
part
on
that.
We
just
had
a
conversation
with
with
them
about
this
at
the
Arts
commission,
and
we
are
it's
all
about
getting
the
Arts
and
getting
that
identified
the
city,
but
do
things
in
conjunction
Junction
with
the
rest
of
the
region
around
us
and
we're
going
to
have
a
tremendous
trail
that
not
only
meets
people's
ride.
E
You
know
biking
and
hiking
and
everything
else,
but
seeing
art
seeing
culture
and
seeing
parts
of
Bellevue
and
we're
making
it
so
that
people
will
come
here
and
it's
going
to
really
be
fantastic.
So
I'm
just
excited
because
we've
been
working
on
this
a
long
time
and
we're
going
to
get
this
done
and
thank
you
very
much
for
for
the
whole
staff
and
and
for
the
community.
A
I
I
agree
with
councilmember
Stokes
I
think
this
is
really
wonderful,
great
presentation.
By
the
way
you
know,
I
was
thinking
when
I
was
listening
to
you
when
I
was
chair
of
the
Planning
Commission
in
2007
and
2008.
When
we
did
the
bell
red
plan,
we
talked
I,
don't
remember
who
came
up
with
it,
but
we
put
an
Arts
District
in
the
plan
and
then
the
council
adopted
it
and
we
were
definitely
thinking
about
Pacific,
Northwest
ballet,
but
also
wanting
to
see
some
of
that
repurposed
use.
I
So
I
think
it's
it's
really
exciting
and
I
definitely
think
that
when
we
do
the
Bell
red
look
forward,
this
should
be
a
focus,
including
potentially
adding
incentives
for
art
space
and
seeing
the
things
we
want
to
do,
because
when
you
walk
in
an
Arts
District
and
you
can
go
into
Galleries-
and
you
can
see
this
and
see
that
it's
a
really
vibrant,
really
wonderful
thing
to
do
and
to
have
something
like
that
in
Bellevue
would
be
just
Dynamite.
I
So
I
agree
with
everything
council,
member
Stoke
said
and
I
won't
belabor
it
but
really
exciting
great
work.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Council.
H
Yes,
thank
you.
This
is
so
exciting.
You
know,
I
was
thinking.
The
time
is
now
and
I
love
the
fact
that
you
talk
about
passion
propelled
and
that
it's
about
the
implementation
plan,
so
I
was
pouring
over
the
plan
and
there's
so
many
pieces
in
there
about
yearly
actions
to
hold
ourselves
accountable
for
all
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
do
finding
Partners,
mural
I
love.
H
All
of
that,
so
I
haven't
I'm
sure
that
it's
all
in
there,
but
the
idea
of
pop-ups
temporary
art,
art
in
the
streets,
Street
dance,
maybe
collaborative
art
that
Community
can
do
together,
and
then
you
know
Economic,
Development
and
Tourism
as
part
of
this
too
I
can
see
so
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions,
and
you
can
answer
now
or
for
later,
but
those
new
businesses
that
you
were
talking
about.
Do
we
help
them
with
advertising
and
marketing?
H
Recognizing
you
know
how
tight
artists
budgets
sometimes
are
because
I
think
that
would
help
on
the
visibility
I
love
the
murals
I
was
trying
to
understand
it
talks
about
the
Bell
red,
Art,
District,
Association,
chartering
and
logo,
and
then
in
our
plan.
We
also
talk
about
logo,
so
are
we
saying
that
ultimately,
there
is
one
logo,
so
that
was
a
little
bit
unclear.
H
So
I
wanted
to
get
clarity
on
that
and
then
on
the
next
steps
in
them
in
the
report
it
talks
about
priority
of
must,
should
and
optional
I
wanted
to
understand.
The
optional.
Don't
seem
very
optional
to
me,
so
is:
is
it
labeled
optional
only
because
we
are
doing
if
we
have
time
we're
going
to
do
it
in
the
earlier
years?
So
maybe
that
description,
it
would
be
helpful
to
see
the
boundary
options.
I'm
curious,
I'm,
really
intrigued
by
A
and
B
I,
would
think
we
would
want
to
be
as
inclusive
as
possible.
H
So
I
wanted
to
get
an
understanding
of
how
we
would
actually
make
that
decision
and
then
lastly,
I've
thought
a
lot
about,
and
maybe
it
starts
in
this
Art
District.
You
know
kind
of
a
x
percent
for
art
when
we're
doing
any
Public,
Works
type
of
projects
that
are
public
facing,
and
it
sure
seems
like
if
we're
going
to
be
doing,
Construction
and
building
something
have
incorporating
some
percent
of
that
budget
for
Arts
would
be
really
neat.
H
I
mean
utility
wraps
is,
is
one
small
piece,
but
it
sure
seems
as
though
a
lot
more
could
be
done
so
I'm
going
to
stop
there.
You
can
see
that
I
was
really
excited
and
lots
of
ideas
that
are
emerging
and
just
excited
that
the
time
is
now.
So,
if
any
of
those
questions
you
can
answer
now
great,
if
not,
we
can
take
it
up
later.
Q
I
think
I
can
make
a
stab
at
many
of
them
so
for
the
new
businesses
for
the
advertising
of
marking
I
know
that's
one
of
the
things
that
the
arts
district
Association,
the
non-profit
group,
is
excited
for
when
their
website
gets
up
and
running,
they're
really
envisioning
a
business
directory,
but
that
that
can
be
more
than
that.
There
would
be
a
con
concentrated
marketing
effort
around
if
there's
events
going
on
in
the
business,
if
there's
things
to
do
hey,
24
hour,
Pottery
or
east
side,
Pottery
is
open
for
new
enrollment
right
now.
Q
Those
types
of
things
so
that's
certainly
a
place
to
start.
Q
As
for
the
logo,
right
now
that
that
is
something
that
the
city
has
has
paid
for.
That's
currently
a
city
asset,
it
might
be
a
conversation
as
that
Association
emerges
and
as
they
form,
if
there's
a
mou
for
use.
If
there's
something
like
that,
but
currently
that
is
a
city
arts,
district
logo.
Q
I
think
that
that
conversation
has
actually
really
progressed
since
the
implementation
plan
was
drafted,
as
we
continue
to
talk
with
the
folks
in
our
planning
team,
and
we
talk
with
the
folks
in
the
comp
plan
and
the
look
forward.
We
think
that
maybe
boundaries
are
more
appropriate
in
that
process.
Well,
we
talk
about
a
lot
of
our
other
boundaries.
Do
they
overlap
with
the
business
district
or
the
the
commercial
Zone
to
the
overlap
with
the
zoning
there's
a
couple
of
options
there
and
I
don't
think
we're
quite
ready.
I.
Q
Implementation
plan
might
be
a
little
aggressive
and
saying
here
are
some
options.
I
think
we
might
need
to
take
some
more
time
and
look
at
what's
the
best
way
to
approach
boundaries
and
where
are
they
going
to
be
effective
and
what
does
it
mean
as
a
non-profit,
the
arts
district
Association
can
say.
Oh
all,
of
Bel
Red
we're
going
to
marketing
the
whole
District,
but
where
are
we
going
to
focus
for
codes
and
far
if
we're
having
those
conversations
so
I
think
that's
a
little
to
be
determined.
Q
As
for
a
percent
for
the
Arts,
we
don't
currently
have
a
percent
for
the
arts
program.
An
Arts
District
can
certainly
be
a
place
where
we
try
things
out.
It's
it's
one
of
the
joys
of
an
arts
and
Innovation
district
is
you?
Can
you
can
take
it
as
a
trial
area.
H
U
Nightlife
I
love
it.
Yes,
you
know
it
was
coming.
Yeah
I'm
excited
about
that.
So
just
a
few
things,
one
I
appreciate
the
interactive
art.
We've
talked
about
it
in
the
past
as
one
of
the
ways
of
bringing
Community
together.
So
hopefully
more
of
that
is
on
the
way
and
it
also
I
think
helps
people
in
a
region
where
people
may
be
less
inclined
to
span
boundaries
to
like
connect
with
people.
They
they
don't
know,
and
they
you
know.
P
U
Come
to
a
place
you
know
together
with,
and
maybe
it
will
help
with
spanning
those
boundaries
so
excited
about
that.
One
thing
that
I
think
would
also
be
really
helpful.
We
talk
a
lot
about
festivals
in
the
plan
I've
been
trying
to
advocate
for
festival
streets,
so
basically
the
just
for
awareness
streets
that
are
already
sort
of
configured
from
a
permitting
and
so
forth.
U
Standpoint,
like
typically
with
the
special
events
right,
we
have
to
figure
out
all
the
details
from
all
the
different
departments,
and
so
this
would
be
a
known
area
that
getting
set
up
for
an
event
or
a
festival
or
whatever
Market
or
whatever
things
that
you
mentioned.
It
would
be
a
lower
barrier,
so
we
could
have
more
of
those
and
decrease
the
overhead
for
organizations
and
then
curious
about
how
we
tie
together.
U
The
I
know
you
mentioned
cross-pollination
for
artists
in
the
community,
but
I'm
curious,
if
there's
any
coordination
of
tying
together
the
city
to
point
to
the
arts
district.
So,
like
you
know,
it's
it's
wayfinding
in
a
sense,
but
it's
a
sometimes
when
you
go
to
cities
in
in
the
South,
you
might
see
like
a
City,
Pass
right
and
so
like.
U
Q
It
is
in
the
destination
development
plan
and
they
are
also
working
on
a
lot
of
curated
experiences
where
they
would
pull
together
experiences
and
then
and
advocate
for
those
with
our
visitors
and
I
know
that
the
arts
district
is
heavily
on
their
radar.
For
that,
once
that
light,
rail
opens.
The
reality
is
that
Bel
Red
is
about
three
minutes
from
here.
It's
very
quick.
This
will
be
very
easy
for
our
guests,
our
visitors
in
our
hotels,
to
get
into
our
Arts
District.
Q
So
we
really
look
at
a
lot
of
our
Arts
District
initiatives
towards
the
light
rail
open
date
whenever
that
may
be.
As
for
the
festivals
and
event
streets,
absolutely
we
I
personally
very
much
agree
with
you.
It's
one
of
those
conversations
with
our
planning
department.
I.
Think
that,
having
a
place,
whether
it's
a
street
or
a
parking
lot
or
some
designated
areas
where
we
know
we
can
set
up
events
quickly,
that
helps
that
helps
new
things
get
started.
Q
T
I
can
just
add
on
to
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
pilot
project
along
those
lines
in
Old
Bellevue
later
this
year
to
help
identify
what
are
some
of
those
streets
that
are
easier
for
us
to
help
close
or
temporarily
block
some
things
without
disrupting
the
entire
neighborhood.
So
we're
going
to
take
that
pilot
program
later
this
year
and
hopefully
be
able
to
expand.
That's
a
bell
red
shortly
after.
Q
Agreed
and
then,
as
for
nightlife,
yes,
every
conversation
we
have
around
the
arts
district
is
about
nightlife,
about
walking
on
that
street.
And
what
is
that
experience
like
having
bars
having
places
to
gather
having
a
place
to
get
a
drink,
to
meet
your
friends,
whether
it's
a
coffee
shop
or
wherever
you
can
get
a
show?
I
will
point
you
too,
if
you
haven't
been
there
yet
mocks
in
Bel,
Red
has
great
nightlife
right
now.
Q
You
can
go
there
and
get
some
incredible
cobblers
and
there
are
folks
there
till
late
in
the
night,
in
community
playing
games
with
each
other.
It
is
one
of
the
most
happening,
parts
of
nightlife
or
nightlife
in
our
community
and
there's
a
secret
Speakeasy
that
you
get
into
through
a
library
like
bookshelf.
B
Thank
you.
This
is
very
exciting,
you're,
giving
me
a
second
shot
at
what
I
was
talking
about
earlier
about
the
downtown.
You
know
the
about
where
the
art
program
and
as
I
mentioned.
This
is
great.
Every
city
needs
to
have
these
kind
of
activities
to
keep
the
economic
development
activities
going
and,
if
they're
talking
about
how
do
we
recover
from
you
know,
pandemic
Seattle
and
San
Francisco?
They
were
talking
about.
B
They
are
talking
about
art
and
you
know
culture,
because
that's
what
can
bring
people
back
and
I
think
we
are
very
fortunate
in
Bellevue
we
we
didn't
go
through
that
kind
of
disaster.
We
did
very
much
impact
it
because
we've
done
a
good
job,
the
economic
development.
So
we
were
very
well
positioned.
Now
we're
already
seeing
the
recovery,
you
know
we're
not
entire
straight
as
the
other
people,
so
they
have
and
but
it's
exciting
it's
you
guys
are
wonderful.
B
As
I
told
you
before,
we
have
stop,
you
can
come
up
with
great
ideas
and
even
the
previous
project
we
talked
about,
but
what
you
guys
did
it
all
you
know,
but
now
you're
passing
on
to
a
consultant
to
work
on
it.
I'd
rather
trust
you
to
do
it
than
we
don't
know
for
sure.
But
anyway,
that's
another
story.
But
the
point
is
this
is
like
a
a
Candy
Store,
where
all
the
kids
are
going
in
there.
B
B
It's
all
competing
with
each
other.
Downtown
is
doing
what
he's
doing
now.
Bell
record
is
doing
what's
doing.
Eventually,
they
will
have
to
be
I.
Think
we
need
to
have
whatever
that's
necessary,
bring
people
together,
but
we
just
seem
to
be
just
going
everywhere.
We
have
limited
resources
like
you
are
thinking
about
it.
We
have
to
have
people
that
can
do
it.
Ultimately,
the
goal
is
to
bring
people
together
when
you
have
76
Studios
I,
don't
want
people
to
be
all
separated
by
itself.
B
I
don't
want
to
be
people
who
just
do
Russian
ballet,
not
doing
anything
with
the
international
ballet,
not
with
the
bullet.
It's
all.
They
cannot
be
separate
because
the
people
in
Bellevue
wants
to
be
all
together.
So.
B
Yeah,
the
point
is:
what
are
we
doing
to
address
this
I?
Would
I
can
ask
you
all
kind
of
questions?
How
can
we
have
our
heard
purpose
Street
to
bring
to
Bellevue?
Probably
it's
good.
Do
it,
but
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you
because
I
don't
think
we
should
go
there.
I,
don't
think
that
that's
possible
it's
possible,
but
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
resources.
The.
B
There's
a
lot
of
people
interested
I'm
interested,
but
the
point
I
want
to
emphasize
is:
we
are
talking
about
cross-cultural
activity
to
bring
people
together.
Sharing
the
same
thing:
I
don't
want
people
to
be
competing
with
each
other.
We
are
the
high
brow.
We
are
the
low
brow,
I'm,
the
Jazz
I'm,
the
we
have
multi-culture
as
well
we're
not
talking
about
just
we
are
traditional
culture,
who's
providing
these
programs.
That's
my
question.
We
talk
about
diverse
multiculture.
Q
I
think
that,
to
the
question
of
like
competing
priorities,
one
of
the
joys
of
a
of
a
space
that
can
be
really
multi-purpose
is
that
it
can
serve
a
lot
of
folks.
If
you
build
a
large
room
with
a
sprung
floor,
you
can
have
a
workshop
in
there.
You
can
have
dance
rehearsals
in
there,
it's
just
being
very
aware
of
your
space
and
what
can
go
in
there.
Making
sure
you
have
it
have
some
sound
dampening
allows
you
to
have
more
shows
and
concerts.
Q
I
also
think
that
we're
seeing
in
the
Art
Market
study
a
need
for
that
collaborative
space,
because
so
some
types
of
art,
if
you're
a
painter,
you
can
kind
of
paint
wherever
you
can
paint
in
your
room,
you
can
paint
in
a
small
Studio,
but
if
you're
a
printmaker,
if
you
do
lithography,
you
need
a
giant
Stone
press
and
individuals
don't
tend
to
own
those
they're,
usually
in
studios.
One
of
the
things
we
saw
in
our
Arts
Market
study
was
a
lot
of
dance
organizations.
Q
Bellevue
has
an
extremely
high
number
of
dance
organizations,
so
that
might
be
a
place
where
we
choose
to
look
at
more
because
there's
simply
such
a
need
for
it
and
then
I
think
maybe
to
your
other
point
towards
the
cross.
Natural
I
think
that
that
is
the
joy
of
an
Arts
District
that
it
doesn't
draw
people
into
it
and
that,
as
long
as
we
continue
to
talk
with
our
folks
in
our
Dei
department
and
Dr
Whitehead
and
their
work
with
the
cross-cultural
center,
maybe
there
are
places
as
we
both
move
forward
for
collaboration.
B
Good
question
yeah.
Thank
you.
Good
questions,
but
I
just
found
that
this
is
a
big
task.
I'd
like
to
enthusiasm
like
this
creativity,
I
like
the
whole
idea,
but
this
has
got
to
be
implemented
in
the
right
way.
We
can
let
this
all
be
going
to
a
candy
store.
We
want
to
pick
everything
up
and
we're
going
to
be
I,
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen,
so
we
are
going
to
be
here.
B
B
B
Okay,
okay,
so
this
one
okay!
So
when
you're
coming
Community
Partnership
members,
I,
don't
know
who
are
they
company?
You
survey
490
people
do
they
include
all
the
different
cultures,
different
programs?
They
all
know
that
they
have
a
share
of
it.
They
have
a
spacing.
They
can
do
it.
You
can
have
a
so
I
could
not
imagine
how.
Q
So
the
cross-cultural
news
of
the
community
are
one
of
the
things
that
we
looked
at
a
bit
in
the
study.
I
will
point
out
to
council
members
Lee's
point.
The
437
respondents
to
the
survey
are
individuals,
they're,
not
necessarily
organizations,
and
you
can
see
in
that
study
report
their
breakdown
on
demographics.
It
was
a
fairly
diverse
group
of
folks
in
a
lot
of
categories,
and
it's
also
very
clear
in
the
report
that
the
exact
individual
surveyed
are
fairly
unlikely
to
be
to
the
exact
individuals
served.
Q
G
You
thank
you
Lori
and
Jesse
great
presentation,
I'm
not
going
to
belabor
all
the
great
points,
maybe
but
my
colleagues
so
far,
but
I
as
well
I'm
very
excited
about
it.
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
couple,
a
couple
things
for
for
thought
and
a
couple
of
questions.
So
actually
what
I
think
councilmember
Lee
was
and
I
don't
want
to
put
words
in
his
mouth,
but
I.
Think
part
of
what
he's
trying
to
say
is
make
this
a
unique
Bellevue
experience.
G
Yes,
we
can
take
inspiration
from
Bourbon
Street
or
Nashville
or
whatever,
but
you
know
we
want
an
experience,
that's
uniquely
Bellevue
as
well,
and
that's
going
to
work
for
our
city
and
our
residents
and
our
artists
Etc
so
and
I
you
know
I
would
I
would
second
that
definitely
and-
and
that
got
me
to
one
of
my
questions
here
about
how
are
we
encouraging
this
great
mix
of
of
music
and
and
dance
and
Technology
Etc
versus
the
you
know
the
district
getting
a
little
bit
too
heavy
in
in
one
area
or
maybe
that's
not
a
bad
thing.
G
If
it
did
I
don't
know,
maybe
that
would
actually
work
itself
out,
but
it
seems
like
we're
trying
to
have
that
nice
Equitable
mix
of
those
different
different
types
of
of
art,
so
that
was
one
of
my
questions
and
then
on
the
kind
of
on
the
the
the
size
of
the
of
the
area
and
the
boundaries
appreciate
your
comments
on
that.
G
What
was
in
the
packet
but
really
believe
that
and
I
think
you-
you
mentioned
it
Lori
that
too
many
of
our
residents
don't
know
when
they
are
in
the
arts
district
still.
So
as
as
much
as
we
want
to
keep
pushing
this
and
grow
faster
and
faster
and
make
this
a
real
tourism
I
think
we
need
to
First
make
sure
that
people
who
live
in
Bellevue
know
where
it
is
so
I
think
you
know
I
think
signage.
G
G
So
so
that's
really
great
and
then
and
and
then
really
also
think,
really
need
like
a
and
I'm
sure
this
has
been
talked
about
or
discussed
before,
but
some
kind
of
signature
event
to
really
bring
people
there
at
least
one
time
of
year,
and
then
hopefully
they
go
back
multiple
times
to
go
back,
revisit
different
artists
or
bars
or
whatever
it
might
be,
but
I
just
really
feel
like.
We
need
to
educate
and
activate
the
space
locally
before
thinking
regionally.
G
Q
I
think
you're
absolutely
right
about
a
signature
event
and
I
think
we
are
kind
of
taking
a
little
time
to
percolate
and
see
how
the
community
and
the
district
forms
to
what
that
signature
event
would
be
right.
Now
the
arts
district
Association
group
has
been
kind
of
talking
about
a
large
welcoming
event,
like
a
welcome
to
the
arts.
District
Grand
show
our
in
conjunction
with
the
light
rail
opening.
Q
We
might
be
the
only
people
who
are
excited
that
the
light
rail
has
been
delayed
because
it
gives
us
more
time,
but
but
that
is
that's
where
we're
focusing
a
lot
of
these,
especially
the
visualization
efforts,
is
kind
of
timing.
It
up
with
that,
so
that
when
our
audience
arrives
on
that
train,
they
can
see
the
arts
district,
but
I
think
that
signature
event
will
evolve.
Smaller
things
are
coming
out
right
now
we
are
working
with
the
black
love
Market
to
bring
a
black
artist
Artisan
Market
into
the
arts
district.
Q
Hopefully
at
least
once
a
year,
hopefully
twice,
and
that
could
become
something
larger.
It
could
really
grow.
Is
that
the
signature
event?
Maybe
maybe
it's
something
entirely
different?
We're
going
to
keep
working
and
see
what
comes
out
there's
a
new
nonprofit
in
our
community
called
artsma,
who
has
done
a
pop-up
event
in
Factoria
Mall
and
they
are
planning
a
large
like
an
art
walk,
but
a
curated
experience
in
the
arts
district
this
summer
and
they're,
hoping
that
will
become
an
annual
event
as
well.
Q
G
We
have
a
couple
of
separate
events,
I
mean,
for
example,
we
had
our
first
ever
New
Year's,
Market
pop-up
event,
what
a
great
area
maybe
to
try
it
there
as
well.
So
absolutely
but
yes,
but
a
signature
event
ultimately
would
be,
would
be
great.
Thank
you.
A
So
I
have
two
comments
and
two
questions:
I
think
it's
great
that
you're
capitalizing
on
this
naturally
occurring
creative
cluster
I.
Think
it's
great
that
you
already
have
anchors
most
most
cities
that
want
to
create
something
like
this.
Don't
have
either
of
those
two
things.
So
that's
an
amazing
start.
A
I
would
love
to
contemplate
micro
housing
as
we're
working
on
land
use
that
will
allow
micro,
housing,
I'd
love
to
contemplate
that
with
shared
art
spaces
and
with
mfte
a
developer
could
bring
those
prices
way
down
on
a
micro
house
housing.
So
I
I
love
that
idea
and
then
you
know,
I
used
to
take
ballet
at
the
San
Francisco
Ballet,
and
it
was
in
this
old
Warehouse
with
all
these
skylights.
In
this
it
was
so
cool.
It
was
all
hard
old,
hardwood
floors
and
I
think
about
all
the
older
spaces
in
the
Bel
Red.
Q
There's
a
there's
a
phrase
in
the
Arts
new
ideas
need
old
buildings,
and
it
continues
to
be
as
true
now
as
it
was
20
years
ago,
when
I
first
heard
it.
There
is
a
lot
of
partnership
currently
with
a
lot
of
our
developers.
They
are
in
conversation
with
us.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
carrots
for
some
of
the
preservation,
so
they're
those
those
conversations,
kind
of
stay
at
the
conversation
level
and
Goodwill
and
general
desire
to
see
the
arts
district
develop
from
our
developers
is.
T
As
we
go
through
the
look
forward
and
the
comp
plan,
there
may
be
opportunities
within
specific
boundaries.
Okay,.
A
A
Q
And
then
to
your
question
on
micro,
housing
yeah,
we
didn't
specifically
look
at
it
in
the
Art
Market
study
because
we
started
that
prior
to
the
change,
but
we
do
have
an
upcoming
fit
study.
So,
as
we
look
specifically
around
the
Cali
parcel,
there'll
probably
be
a
fit
study
there,
where
we
could
also
look
a
little
bit
further
into
micro
housing.
Spacing
off
of
this
report,
where
we
did
see
quite
a
bit
of
desire
for
smaller
units,
which
is
not
the
National
Standard.
The
National
Standard
in
art.
Q
Housing
is
for
two
and
three
bedroom
units,
because
it's
artists
and
their
families
because
of
these
dynamics
of
our
community,
smaller
families.
Maybe
younger
folks,
took
the
survey.
We
saw
a
desire
for
smaller
units,
so
I
think
that
would
Point
towards
some
micro
housing,
research
too.
Okay,.
A
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
call
the
meeting
back
to
order
and
we
have.
We
have
a
new
city
manager.
Deputy
see
the
manager,
okay,.
A
Okay,
so
are
we
ready
yeah?
We
are
ready,
okay,
tee.
P
P
Thank
you
mayor
council
members.
This
last
study
session
item
is
on
a
proposed
ordinance
to
increase
the
threshold
for
administrative
approval
and,
just
by
way
of
background,
this
particular
subject
was
raised
at
your
June
22nd
or
June
2022,
Council,
Retreat
or
Council
requested
additional
information
on
on
raising
the
limit.
So
tonight
staff
is
going
to
present
the
council
with
some
background,
as
well
as
a
recommendation
to
increase
the
administrative
approval
thresholds,
which
we
believe
will
result
in
a
more
efficient
and
execution
of
City
business.
P
So
tonight,
along
with
that,
we
are
seeking
a
direction
to
prepare
an
ordinance
if
the
council
so
desires
to
modify
the
city
called
at
a
future
meeting.
So
joining
us
this
evening
is
Aaron
McDaniel
assistant,
director
of
our
financial
services
and
property
management
department,
and
he
is
going
to
kick
off
the
presentation
off
all.
D
D
Our
current
threshold
is
set
at
90
000
for
procurement
and
real
property
related
items.
Each
contract
that
we
bring
to
council
requires
a
level
of
involvement
and
review
from
City
staff.
You
have
a
staff
member
who
has
to
draft
the
the
the
memorandum
it
gets
reviewed
by
their
manager,
their
director
other
City
staff,
the
city
attorney's
office,
the
city
clerk's
office
and
the
budget
office
before
coming
to
council
for
your
review.
D
So
there's
quite
a
bit
of
involvement
in
even
a
relatively
straightforward
item
that
comes
to
council
and
then,
if
you
multiply
that
by
the
150,
odd
contracts
that
come
to
Council
on
an
annual
basis,
it
can
be
a
pretty
substantial
investment
of
time.
In
addition
to
the
amount
of
time
the
labor
hours
involved,
there's
also
a
delay,
that's
introduced
in
each
project,
because
the
the
amount
of
time
that
it
takes,
while
it's
going
through
the
process,
the
contractor
has
been
selected.
D
It's
waiting
for
Council
approval.
It
takes
several
weeks
to
get
through
that
process
so
before
they
can
actually
get
started
on
their
work.
It
goes
through
this
delay
process
as
the
city
continues
to
grow,
larger,
become
more
complex,
transforming
from
a
smaller
bedroom
community
into
more
of
an
urban
center
and
as
the
price
of
goods,
services
and
construction
increases.
That
means
that
more
and
more
contracts
are
coming
through
Council
and
you
can
create
a
pretty
large
administrative
strain
so
we're
looking
to
how
do
we
resolve
that
strain?
D
At
the
same
time,
council's
involvement
and
review
provides
critical
oversight
to
the
work
of
the
city
and
the
the
transparency
of
having
that
on
our
agenda
memos
and
on
your
calendar
is
it
makes
it
transparent
available
to
the
public
to
be
able
to
see
what's
going
on
with
the
city,
so
with
all
of
those
factors
we
sort.
We
have
this
balance
between
the
operational
efficiency
of
being
able
to
get
through
administratively
approve
our
work
and
get
out
there
and
get
started
on
our
projects
balanced
with
this
concept
of
the
oversight
and
the
transparency.
D
So
we
want
to
maintain
that
balance
as
we
go
through
our
analysis
of
this.
So
we
took
a
look
at
a
number
of
factors
and
we're
making
a
recommendation
tonight
that
we
increase
that
threshold
for
both
real
property
and
procurement
from
ninety
thousand
dollars
to
three
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars.
So
the
the
primary
factors
that
we
considered
in
making
that
recommendation
are
state
law,
the
volume
of
contracts
that
we
have
coming
through
and
the
thresholds
of
other
agencies.
D
D
But
there
is
in
state
law
a
code,
that's
related
to
small
public
works.
This
is
a
threshold
around
where
you
can
go
through
a
modified
selection
process
for
contractors
on
on
public
works,
that's
at
350
000
and
it
made
sense
to
align
there
with
the
state
when
they're.
You
know
they
have
this
threshold
that
is
related
to
what
is
a
smaller
work.
D
What
is
more,
simple
and
straightforward
and
deserving
of
that
abbreviated
process,
if
you
will
foreign
looking
second
to
contract
volume,
the
slide
here
shows
the
impact
of
moving
from
a
90
000
threshold
to
350
000
threshold
on
our
procurement
contracts,
and
what
you
can
see
from
this
is
that
well,
55
of
our
contracts
that
are
coming
through
Council
now
are
in
that
range
of
90
000
to
350
000..
That's
only
ten
percent
of
the
the
contract
value
of
those.
So
as
we're
looking
at
that
balance,
we
can.
D
And
then
the
third
piece
that
we
looked
at
is
the
procurement
thresholds
for
other
agencies.
You
can
see
bellevue's
at
90
000.
Currently,
Tacoma
is
at
500
000.,
Seattle
and
King
County
have
no
threshold.
They
have
delegated
100
of
authority
to
execute
contracts
to
to
their
staff.
The
Port
of
Seattle
recently
raised
their
threshold
from
300
000
to
2
million
dollars
that
will
become
effective
in
April.
D
The
Bellevue
school
district
has
a
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
threshold
for
public
works,
but
no
threshold
for
all
other
purchases
provided
the
the
purchases
within
their
approved
budget
and
then
Sound
Transit
has
a
five
million
dollar
threshold
for
construction
and
Architectural
and
Engineering
Services
and
two
million
for
all
of
the
purchases.
So
you
can
see,
there's
a
pretty
broad
spread
among
these
agencies
and
and
our
proposed
threshold
of
350
000
sits
pretty
conservatively
within
this
range.
D
In
order
to
enact
that
change
from
90
000
to
350
000,
we
have
several
supporting
code
revisions.
In
some
cases,
it's
just
modifying
90
000
and
replacing
it
with
350
000..
All
these
changes
are
detailed
in
the
agenda
material,
so
I
won't
go
through
them
in
detail,
but
we're
also
clarifying
administrative
Authority,
creating
the
the
authority
to
award
bids
reject
bids
for
at
the
administrative
level
below
350
000.
D
We're
fixing
some
outdated
and
incorrect
references
in
the
code,
and
we
are
looking
to
consolidate
a
threshold
for
Real
Property
small
purchases,
there's
currently
a
small
purchases
provision
in
the
code.
That's
at
25
000
for
projects
that
are
not
included
in
our
CIP
project
and
I
haven't
seen
that
code
used
in
the
last
six
years
at
all
and
in
terms
of
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
on
a
real
property
transaction.
It
does
not
get
you
very
far,
so
we're
proposing
consolidating
that
and
we
would
have
one
threshold
for
Real
Property
transactions
at
the
350
000
level.
D
We're
also
looking
at
adjusting
our
settlement
thresholds
for
low
dollar
real
property
transactions.
Our
current
code
states
that,
if
you're
negotiating
with
a
property
owner-
and
you
go
above
10
percent
over
the
appraised,
fair
market
value,
it
would
require
Council
approval
on
really
small
dollar
transactions
that
can
get
rather
difficult
to
negotiate
with
somebody.
If
you're
offering,
for
example,
five
hundred
dollars-
and
they
say
I
want
600
well
if
it
goes
over,
550
we're
gonna
it'll
have
to
go
to
council.
D
So
we
wanted
to
broaden
that
up
and
give
a
little
bit
of
additional
flexibility
in
our
negotiations
with
property
owners
there
coming
back
to
the
benefits
of
this
change.
This
is
really
about
faster,
more
efficient
delivery
of
our
projects,
ensuring
that
we're
getting
out
there
and
getting
work
done
more
quickly.
I
want
to
point
to
the
the
commitments
to
competition,
fairness
and
strong
internal
controls.
That's
something
that
our
procurement
team
takes
very
seriously.
D
I'm
I'm
pleased
to
work
with
them
on
a
daily
basis
and
see
the
the
work
that
they
do
in
communicating
our
our
policies
and
our
codes
to
the
staff
and
other
departments
as
they're
assisting
them
with
their
procurement
activities
and
they
serve
as
a
vital
resource
and
ensuring
that
people
are
following
process.
That
commitment
to
competition
is
something
that
this
does
not
alter
or
change.
We
have
several
thresholds
in
our
administrative
policy
around
when
things
are
required
to
go
out
to
competition.
D
A
D
It's
it's
not
on
here.
The
cost
savings
is
would
be
spread
across
the
city
I.
We
it's
a
little
challenging
because
the
number
of
people
who
are
involved
in
each
review
to
really
look
at
a
number
of
hours
I
would
estimate
that
we're
probably
looking
somewhere
between
500
and
a
thousand
hours
of
Staff
time.
That
would
be
saved.
I
A
Okay,
great
Deputy
Mayor.
Let's
start
with
you.
G
Thank
you
all
in
favor
of
this,
it's
pretty
straightforward.
Certainly
we
we
all
you,
know
trust
staff
and
and
want
to
give
you
the
ability
to
move
quicker
and
more
efficiently.
So
my
only
ask
is
that
we
do
some
significant
push
to
make
residents
aware
of
this
change.
So
we
do
a
press
release.
We
make
sure
that
it
is
highlighted
clearly
on
the
home
page
of
the
city
website,
where
to
go.
G
If
residents
want
to
review
contracts
and
they
understand
where
it
lives
and
how
to
access
it,
so
they
can
review
at
their
at
their
Leisure
but
other
than
that
very
much
in
favor
of
moving
the
sport.
Thank
you.
H
Yeah
I
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
bringing
this
to
our
attention,
because
you
know
when
we
think
about
all
of
the
priorities
that
the
council
has,
and
just
the
number
of
these
that
show
up
as
consent
that
I
can't
remember
the
last
time
we
pulled
one
of
these
that
are
at
this
threshold.
So
to
me,
those
thousand
hours
and
the
ability
to
repurpose
it
for
much
higher
value
while
still
being
able
to
have
the
safeguards
and
the
transparency
is
going
to
help
us.
You
know
we
have
a
2.2
billion
dollar
biennial
budget.
H
H
B
I
completely
agree
with
you:
you're
rationale
for
being
efficient,
save
time,
and
you
know,
without
going
through
a
lot
of
detail
on
smaller
amounts
versus
big
amounts.
I
agree.
The
one
thing
I
also
appreciate
you
brought
up,
which
I
also
feel
is
important,
is
the
oversight
and
transparency.
B
Sometimes
it's
not
just
a
dollar
a
month.
That's
important
right,
the
first
onset
of
the
work.
You
know
project
you
know,
and
we
want
to
be
sure
that
we
are
aware
of
it.
It's
the
significance
of
it.
You
know
a
90
000
project
can
turn
into
a
100
million
dollar
project.
You
know
this
is
the
first
step.
I
always
say
that
the
devil
isn't
detail
as
well,
so
I
appreciate
you
trying
to
make
it
transparent
and
oversight,
and
your
suggestion
of
in
doing
it
as
a
the.
What
do
you
call
public
website?
B
I
agree
with
the
deputy
mayor.
I
think
you
should
make
it
easy
for
people
to
get
to
it
if
they
need
to
if
they
want
to,
and
for
myself,
especially
I,
look
at
a
lot
of
issues.
You
know
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
it's
all
just
going
to
determine
by
the
dollar
amount.
Dollarama
is
important,
but
it's
the
significance
of
it
significance
so
I
like
to
make
sure
it's
easy
that
if
I
can
get
to
it,
hopefully
other
members
of
the
community
can
also
get
to
it.
B
A
I
I
Was
just
saying
I
was
gonna,
just
ask
I
should
have
said
this
when
I
was
my
turn
to
talk
whether
we
could
amend
the
motion
to
have
it
come
back
on
consent.
So
if
people
agree
with
that.
A
A
Sorry
I
got
lost
in
the
Robert's
Rules,
okay,
I
think
we're
done
here.
So
just
remind
everybody
that
again
we're
not
going
to
have
a
meeting
next
week,
but
we
will
be
back
on
the
27th.
So
we'll
see
you
then
thank
you.
Happy
Valentine's
Day.
