A
B
Call
the
meeting
of
the
Bellevue
City
Council
extended
study
session
back
into
order.
We
have
been
in
executive
session
on
a
quasi-judicial
matter
on
approval
of
the
agenda.
I
would
like
to
add
an
item
at
council,
business
and
new
initiatives
dealing
with
hate
crimes
and
anti-semitism.
That'll
be
a
report
from
our
police
department
on
a
recent
occurrence
here
in
Bellevue.
B
Moved
and
seconded
to
approve
the
amended
agenda.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed.
The
agenda
is
approved.
We
are
at
communication
written
and
oral.
We
have
begun
using
our
new
sign
up
electronic
sign
up
system
for
tonight.
I
understand
what
we
will
do
as
we
move
forward
is
take
those
who
use
the
electronic
system.
If
we
have
time
left
over
for
those
who
did
not,
we
will
take
them.
That's
been
the
way
we
have
operated,
miss
Clark.
How
many
people
do
we
have
signed
up.
C
B
So
we
are
definitely
going
to
have
time
three
minutes
to
speak
to
the
council
on
any
topic
when
the
green
light
goes
on.
You're
on
the
clock,
the
yellow
light
comes
on,
you
have
one
minute
and
the
red
light
means
you
are
done.
I'll
give
you
a
couple
of
seconds
to
go
over
if
you
would
call
the
first
person
to
speak,
please.

E
Essentially,
I

constitution
freedom
of
speech.
In
common
sense.
We
don't
and
I

The
use
Sharif

a
pure
freakin,
Gestapo
and
I
publicly

What

From

more
in
this
planet,
pains
in
you
for
last
few
thousand
years,
but
I'm
sick
from
this.
You
understand
everybody
talking
so
from
this
political
ideology.
What,
as
I,
see
before
from
Soviet
Union
in
my
parents
ceases
from
German
Nazi
I'm
sick
from
this
we
need
a
normal,
intelligent
people
who
understand
what
has
been
common
sense.
E
It
bring
us
back
to
normal
life.
We
lose
everything
for
last
year
because
it's
exactly
what
has
happened
is
a
pure
fascism,
but
this
was
ISM
by
idiotic
I

This
force
is
vut.
Idiotic
face
is
all
freakin
idiot
right
now

public
in
doesn't
Court
decision
when
this
will
be
hope
and
stand
up.
America
thank.
B
F
E
B
Yeah
I
the
you
know
he
did
admit
it's
a
performance,
so
we
are
now
going
to
get
on
to
actually
a
very
serious
topic
and
also
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
under
counsel
business
and
new
initiatives
about
two
individuals
who
have
served
this
community
really
well
over
decades,
whom
we've
lost
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
So
once
we
get
through
this
report
from
our
Police
Department,
I'm
gonna
kick
it
over
to
mr.
Miyagi
and
let
him
introduce
sure.
G
G
What
we
have
in
store
for
you
tonight
is
just
an
update
on
what's
been
happening
with
with
respect
to
hate
crimes
in
the
city
of
Bellevue,
in
particular
some
situations
where
we
had
some
anti
semitism
events
reported
to
the
police
department
as
well
as
we've
heard
some
oral
testimony
at
the
council
as
well,
and
with
that
I'm
gonna
go
just
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
assistant
chief
call
clinic
to
do
a
brief,
PowerPoint
and
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Carl.
H
Great
thank
you
for
having
me
so
looks
like
we
have
our
PowerPoint
queued
up
so
I
reviewed
the
October
14th
council
meeting
video
and
was
delighted
to
spend
some
time
with
mr.
and
mrs.
Lee
Tov
tonight
and
their
message
is
powerful
and
it
is
something
that
we
know
deep
in
our
hearts
that
we
have
to
keep
up
on
top
of,
because
hatred
and
racism
is
a
very
slippery
slope.
It's
very
insidious.
It
takes
over
lives,
it
destroys
lives.
H
A
year
ago,
yesterday
was
the
atrocity
that
occurred
in
Pittsburgh
at
the
Tree
of
Life
synagogue,
in
which
11
lives
were
lost
in
six
others
seriously
injured.
In
the
actions
of
a
madman,
and
in
that
particular
incident,
the
shooter
is
believed
to
have
been
radicalized
online,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
tonight.
Briefly
in
the
next
ten
minutes,
are
hate
crimes
and
bias.
H
H
So
we
were
explaining
what
is
the
difference
between
a
hate
crime
and
a
bias
related
event,
and
we
didn't
want
them
to
figure
out
which
was
which
we
just
wanted
them
to
report
it
to
us,
and
we
would
take
it
from
there.
Reports
can
be
made
online
and
I
will.
The
next
slide
will
briefly
show
you
how
to
do
an
online
report
in
person
at
our
station
offices
and,
of
course,
by
calling
9-1-1.
H
So
a
hate
crime
consists
of
a
racial
or
other
slur,
coupled
with
an
assault
for
property
damage.
So
you
need
the
reprehensible
racist
statements
and
then
either
an
injury
and
attempted
assault
or
actual
property
damage.
The
crime
can
be
directed
toward
a
victim's
race,
color,
religion,
ancestry,
national
origin,
gender,
sexual
orientation
or
anyone
that
has
a
physical,
mental
or
sensory
disability.
A
bias
related
event
is
more
nuanced,
less
complex.
It
is
typically
in
the
form
of
bigoted
words
that
are
yelled
out
of
a
passing
car
to
somebody.
H
That's
walking
on
the
street
words
that
might
be
go
home
to
where
you're
from
or
you're
going
to
be
deported.
Soon,
we
want
to
hear
about
those
incidents
as
they
occur,
so
that
we
can
potentially
identify
the
person
and
figure
out
what
it
was
that
caused
them
to
say
what
they
they
said
so
that
we
can
put
them
on
our
radar.
Recent
hate
crimes
committed
in
Bellevue
were
typically
assaulted.
Behaviors.
These
are
the
actual
crimes
coupled
with
racial
slurs.
Frequently
the
perpetrators
were
either
under
the
influence
of
some
intoxicants
or
experiencing
mental
illness.
H
The
most
recent
event
took
place
on
September
11th
at
the
Downtown
Transit
Center.
In
that
particular
incident,
an
african-american
executive
got
off
the
bus
with
his
white
female
co-worker
and
they
noticed
that
an
angry
white
man
was
yelling
at
them
and
was
getting
closer
to
them.
He
was
using
the
n-word
and
he
clearly
took
issue
that
in
his
perception
there
was
a
white
female
with
an
african-american
male
and
then
he
threatened
to
assault
them.
So
in
that
particular
case,
the
victim
made
a
report
online.
H
H
So
online
reporting
easiest
way
to
do.
It
is
go
to
Google
type
in
in
the
search
bar
Bellevue
Police
online
reporting.
It
will
the
first
thing
that
pops
up
is
reporter
crime
online
city
of
Bellevue
make
sure
it's
not
Bellevue
Nebraska,
because
there
are,
and
once
you
click
on
that
link,
it
will
take
you
to
our
Bellevue
Police
website.
You
can
recognize
the
patch
there
and
then
right
in
front
of
you
is
a
link
to
click
on
to
start
a
report.
H
Once
you
click
on
that
there
are
radio
buttons
that
you
can
click
on
to
fill
out.
The
report,
the
first
one
is
for
the
biased,
related
event,
so
incident
types,
so
harassment
would
include
the
racial
or
religious
slurs
of
couple
with
threats
of
harm
or
actual
harm.
Like
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
fact
that
someone
yells
out
a
racial
slur
does
not
automatically
that
a
crime
has
occurred.
A
lot
of
folks
that
we
contact
say
well.
Why
isn't
it
a
crime?
H
You
can
see
that
we
are
on
a
positive
trend
here,
where
the
bias
related
events
are
getting
fewer
and
far
between
and
ultimately
we
would
like
to
see
that
number
at
zero
targeted
group
types.
This
is
going
back
through
2016.
You
can
see
that
african-americans
are
disproportionately
targeted
in
our
community
and
followed
closely
by
our
Muslim
brothers
and
sisters,
our
Jewish
citizens
and
the
LGBTQIA
residents
that
we
have
here
in
Bellevue.
H
So
anti-semitic
Flyers
were
posted
on
October
12th.
It
was
a
Saturday.
It
was
the
same
day
later
that
day
that
Redman
had
asked
us
for
assistance
at
the
Muslim
Association
in
Puget
Sound.
There
was
a
renowned
national
speaker
that
was
talking
about
immigration
and
civil
rights
and
being
targeted
by
extremist
groups.
H
We
don't
know
who
posted
those
Flyers
at
the
to
gun
stores.
Two
of
the
three
gun
stores
in
Bellevue,
the
Flyers
themselves,
were
caricatures
of
what
the
author
purported
to
be
a
Jewish
man.
It
also
talked
about
Jewish
people
that
had
been
involved
lately
in
headlines
related
to
assaults
and
the
tagline
was
we
have
more
to
fear
from
Jewish
people
than
we
do
from
ar-15s,
and
the
bottom
of
it
was
directing
people
to
go
to
their
website,
and
you
can
see
the
website
up
there
on
the
top
left.
H
It's
clearly
a
white
extremist
web
site
where
we
scroll
through
it
and
there's
a
number
of
lies
that
are
being
purported,
including
pulse',
Gabbard,
committed
suicide,
which
clearly
did
not
happen,
but
people
getting
on
there.
They
think
it's
a
mainstream
website,
but
it's
actually
driving
people
towards
this
separation
of
white
nationalists
and
everybody
else.
The
the
investigation
was
initiated
when
Wade's
guns
called
us.
H
Low-Priced
guns
noticed
the
flyer,
they
called
Wade's
and
said:
hey
do
you
have
any
fliers
outside
and
they
went
and
sure
enough
they
were
so
we
were
able
to
obtain
some
fingerprints
on
those
flyers
and
the
investigation
continues
now
there's
nothing
in
that
actual
flyer
that
would
potentially
be
illegal.
However,
we
want
the
distributors
of
that
flyer
to
know
that
we
know
who
they
are
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
ADL
graphic
in
the
lower
right
shows
that
between
2017
and
2018
you
can
see
that
the
propaganda
leafleting
has
exponentially
increased.
H
Community
partners
we
have
had
and
enjoy
a
very
robust
relationship
with
our
local
rabbis.
We
have
invited
them
into
the
police
department,
shown
them
how
we
operate
and,
more
importantly,
they
invited
us
into
their
synagogues.
There
are
a
number
of
interfaith
events
that
occur
in
the
Bellevue
area,
specifically
in
Bellevue.
We
talk
about
how
to
keep
their
congregation
safe.
H
We
also
include
principles
of
how
to
stand
up
and
be
an
ally
in
public,
but
do
so
in
a
safe
manner,
after
you've
already
notified
the
police
that
something
is
bubbling
up
so
that
we
can
be
oriented
and
responding.
The
anti-defamation
league
is
an
international
organization.
The
national
group,
and
specifically
the
Seattle
branch
of
the
ADL,
is
a
clearinghouse
of
information
for
law
enforcement
and
for
citizens
you
can
get
on
there.
H
The
safe
Washington
is
an
initiative
of
the
Jewish
Federation
of
Seattle,
and
they
send
reports
to
us
about
events.
Vandalisms
assaulted
people
that
are
identified
by
local
law
enforcement
in
the
state
of
Washington
and
the
center
picture.
There
is
a
picture
I
took
when
I
had
the
great
fortune
of
being
selected
to
attend
the
FBI
National
Academy
in
Quantico
Virginia
in
early
2018.
The
highlight
of
that
11
week
program
was
spending
an
entire
day
at
the
national
Holocaust
Memorial
and
DC.
H
What
we
stand
for,
and
especially
how
we
can
recognize
the
signs
if,
in
fact,
we
end
up
starting
to
slide
towards
a
bad
place
and
I
think
with
what
we
have
here
locally
in
the
city
of
Bellevue,
regionally
in
the
Puget
Sound
area
and
statewide,
with
our
citizen,
community,
nongovernmental
organizations
and
rabbis
and,
most
importantly,
the
men
and
women
that
make
up
the
Bellevue
Police
Department.
We
are
in
a
very
good
place
to
spread
hope
in
peace,
reduce
crime,
reduce
the
fear
of
crime
and
enhance
the
quality
of
life
for
all
the
Bellevue
home.
B
Good,
thank
you.
This
was
added
to
the
agenda.
Tonight
was
a
result
of
a
couple
of
different
things,
but
at
the
very
time
that
dr.
and
mr.
Leto
were
here
to
testify
I
think
two
weeks
ago
was-
or
maybe
it
was
three
weeks
ago-
we
received
notification
about
this.
I
know
that
police
contacted
and
got
in
touch
with
the
synagogues
and
really
wanted
to
have
this
simply
to
show
the
reaction
that
we
have
here
in
Bellevue
to
this
the
importance
that
we
place
on
it.
B
B
No
matter
you
know,
creed,
color
orientation
and
other
things.
I'm
gonna
ask
that,
since
we've
got
a
couple
of
things
that
were
added
tonight,
if
we
go
with
one
we're,
gonna
go
with
seven
and
so
I'd
like
to
leave
it
at
that
for
tonight,
but
I
think
I
thought
it
was
really
important.
A
little
little
time
go
by,
but
to
then
come
up
and
and
have
this
discussion
so
that
the
public
could
hear
it.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
B
B
We
have
two
other
items
that
we're
going
that
that
are
that
can
be
handled
under
council
business
and
new
initiative.
One
is
the
loss
of
Jim
Ellis
and
the
other
who
many
people
in
the
in
the
area
know
and
I
understand.
Patrick
foreign
was
he's
in
the
back,
hiding
behind
and
I'm
gonna
ask
Patrick
if
he
wants
to.
If
he
would
want
to
come
up
and
say
a
few
words.
B
I
Thank
you
very
much,
Mira
chill
Manik,
deputy
Robinson
and
rest
of
council
I.
Just
it
will
be
very
helpful
for
the
public
to
know,
and
some
of
you
who
are
on
counsel
at
the
time
and
some
of
you
who
are
not
to
to
know
about
our
involvement
with
mr.
Jim
Ellis
was
very
helpful
and
gratifying.
The
Mercer
Slough
environmental
education
center
is
one
example
of
our
involvement
with
mr.
Ellis.
I
For
those
of
you
who
don't
know,
a
very
large
percentage
of
that
project
came
from
non
city
funds
and
one
of
those
was
directly
related
to
mr.
Jim
Alice's
involvement.
He
was
instrumental
directly
in
getting
1
million
dollars
in
funding
for
that
project,
but
I
would
also
let
you
know,
I'm
sure
that
most
people
don't
know,
and
this
is
a
lot
of
examples
of
Jim
Ellis.
I
And
so
he
thought
we
should
put
a
bench
in
Chisholm,
Beach
Park
in
her
name,
and
we
did
and
he
paid
for
that,
and
he
made
it
absolutely
clear
that
he
wanted
no
one
to
know
that
bench
got
there
and
and
that
he
was
responsible
for
that.
And
that
was
the
kind
of
fellow
that
Jim
and
I
just
thought
that
I
wanted
to
stop
by
I
got
a
text
from
Shelley
McBain
that
you
might
be
saying
some
nice
things
about
him
and
I
thought
I
would
stop
by
and
use
this
venue
to
pay.
B
B
B
You
know,
Metro
Lake,
Washington
didn't
have
blue
waters,
it
was
brown,
the
sewage
was
just
dumped
into
it.
That
includes
sewage
that
came
from
from
Bellevue.
He
made
sure
that
that
got
cleaned
up
and
it
formed
Metro,
which
was
a
you
know,
a
really
important
government
to
carry
forward
with
in
this
region,
most
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
is
he
had
an
incredible
vision
for
the
I-90
corridor
that
led
to
the
mountains
to
sound
Greenway
that
now
spreads
into
eastern
Washington?
B
B
J
K
He's
one
of
the
great
regional
leaders,
if
not
on,
if
not
the
greatest,
he
exemplifies
his
own
definition
of
leadership,
which
is
in
his
words,
vision
and
action.
Important
action
he's
the
father
like
the
mirror
set
of
full
thrust.
He
led
the
movement.
You
know
most
of
you
young
enough,
probably
don't
know
that
forward.
Thrust
that
movement
changed
the
whole
region.
He
cleaned
up,
Lake,
Washington,
Lake
Washington
has
signs
in
the
lake,
do
not
swim,
and
now
it's
clean
the
cleaners,
everybody
swims,
and
he.
K
Allowed
in
the
public
transportation
system
Metro,
he
established
that,
and
that
was
cleaned
up
the
lake
and
obviously
it's
a
regional
admit.
He
really
is
a
regional
solution,
region
of
thinker
and
obviously
Charles
mentioned
he
glad
the
mountain
to
sound
Greenway
project
very
much
committed
to
environment
and
borough
mental
stewardship.
As
a
result
of
this
Mercer
salute,
like
Patrick
said,
you
know,
a
bear.
Amento
Center
benefited
immensely
and
I
still
agree
with
you
in
the
picture
with
him.
You
know
that's
just
amazing.
L
Really
appreciate
council
release
a
full
description
of
that
and
your
conversation,
I
didn't
know
him.
I
met
him,
but
I
knew
him
or
through
his
brother,
John
and
I
talked
to
him
one
time
at
a
Special,
K
breakfast
we
don't
have
anymore,
or
at
least
he
was
talking
about
he
loved
John
Ellis
like
to
talk
about
you,
know,
baseball
and
and
the
Mariners,
but
he
also
talked
about
his
brother
and
what
happened
to
get
downtown
park.
L
M
You
yeah
my
heart
goes
out
to
Jim
Alice's
family.
He
really
was
one
of
the
primary
leaders
to
shape
this
region
and
his
work
is
still
being
felt
today.
I
mean
people
have
mentioned
the
Mercer
Slough.
The
downtown
Park
forward
thrust
the
pools
mountains,
Sound
Greenway,
which
were
doing
the
missing
link.
All
these
projects,
the
parks
and
the
trails
Washington
Convention
Center
are
still
providing
amazing
public
benefits
to
this
day
and
to
have
a
legacy
like
that
is
just
tremendous.
Yet
he
never
held
elected
office.
M
I
read
that
he
was
offered
the
first
director
of
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
by
the
president
at
the
time
he
turned
it
down
because
he
wanted
to
serve
Washington
better
rather
than
the
nation,
so
I
I,
just
yeah.
My
heart
goes
out
to
them
what
a
what
a
loss
and
what
a
tremendous
gift
his
life
was
and
will
continue
to
be
to
this
community.
B
City
Council
gets
an
opportunity
to
go
up
on
the
stage
at
that
and
put
that
up
on
the
put
that
up
on
the
marker
of
the
the
wall.
I
cannot
tell
you
I've
waited
16
years
to
do
that
and
I'm
going
to
be
out
of
town,
unfortunately,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
good
contingent
there
to
do
that.
So,
if
you
haven't
seen
that
and
signed
up,
please
do
and
I
think
this
will
also
be
a
great
time
to
honor
mr.
Ellis
at
that
of.
So
thank
you
for
that.
B
M
During
his
25
year
tenure
he
earned
King
County
Library
System
a
place
at
the
forefront
of
public
libraries
nationwide,
including
being
named
library
of
the
year
in
2011
by
the
National
Library
Journal.
Under
his
watch
we
opened
the
downtown
Bellevue
branch
in
1993,
which
has
become
the
busiest
library
west
of
the
Mississippi.
He
also
oversaw
other
community
branches,
including
major
updates,
and
improvements
in
Bellevue,
including
Newport
Way,
on
Lake
Hills.
M
After
leaving
the
library
system,
he
was
named
CEO
of
Calgary
Public
Library,
but
he
stepped
down
from
that
post
earlier
this
year
and
he
died
last
Tuesday
October
15th,
and
he
just
he
was
a
tremendous
partner
to
Bellevue.
He
made
sure
that
the
library
system
was
a
tremendous
partner
with
Bellevue
and
he
really
saw
a
lot
of
the
significant
changes
that
have
made
the
library
systems
more
useful,
more
accessible
and
more
helpful
to
the
entire
community.
M
L
L
That's
indelibly
buried
in
my
mind,
is
going
over
to
a
cascade
bike
event
in
Seattle,
going
over
my
90
across
the
bridge
and
I
looked
over,
and
there
were
two
people
on
a
bike
and
they're
all
their
gear
and
everything
and
it
was
bill,
potassium
Ron,
share
and
they
were
just
racing
each
other
across
there.
That
was
fantastic,
so
I'd,
remember
him
from
that,
and
he
was
just
a
great
friend
and
a
great
asset
for
the
community
and
its
really
sad.
L
B
Thank
you.
So
we
have
a
bellevue
collection
here.
We
also
have
a
bellevue
collection
of
libraries.
We
have
four
of
them
in
the
city
which
I
think
is
outstanding.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
to
the
audience
for
allowing
us
to
spend
a
few
minutes
on
that.
We
are
now
moving
to
something
that
quite
honestly,
I'm
very
excited
about
Dan,
it's
about
Metro
Transit,
which
I
think
is
very
nice
in
time
that
dr.
mr.
Ellis.
This
will
be
a
briefing
on
the
new
rapid
ride.
Kaline
and
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
mr.
G
That
was
actually
pretty
good
introduction,
leading
up
to
Joyce
and
the
staff
joining
us
at
the
table.
As
you
mentioned,
there
was
the
new
rapid
line,
K
line,
which
is
a
new
route
between
Tony
Lake
Center
and
the
South
Kirkland
Park
and
Ride
downtown
Bellevue
and
East
Gate,
Park
and
right
and
with
that
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
Joyce
Nichols
to
introduce
our
panelists
and
in
front
of
you
to
this
evening.
This
is
for
information.
Only
we're
not
looking
for
any
formal
direction
from
the
council.
N
Joining
us
tonight
at
the
table,
our
our
Transportation
Director
at
Anderson,
Galactus
and
Chris,
Auclair
and
Chris,
is
the
mobility
division
director
for
King
County,
Metro
Transit,
and
she
again
is
going
to
provide
some
information
on
this
rapid
ride
line
Kay
and
that's
hard
to
say
so.
But
she
does
it
very
fast
and
one
of
the
things
to
think
about
is
this.
N
So
we
have
a
lot
going
on
and
we
thought
it
was
important
to
bring
tonight
the
efforts
that
Metro
is
going
through
right
now
to
inform
people
about
this,
get
a
stakeholder
group
together
in
doing
the
rapid
ride
line,
be
in
Bellevue.
They
worked
very
closely
with
our
staff
in
the
transportation
department
and
they're
doing
the
same
thing
here.
So
it's
an
exciting
thing
to
think
about
another
rapid
ride
line
coming
here
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Chris
to
give
the
presentation.
Thank.
C
You
so
much
once
again,
my
name
is
Chris
o'clair
and
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
with
you
tonight.
I
get
the
pleasure
of
being
the
mobility
division
director
at
Metro
and
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
about
the
K
line,
but
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
Metro
is
here
to
come
any
time
you
are.
You
know
the
second
largest
city
in
King,
County
and
I.
C
Welcome
coming
back,
we
had
a
wonderful
conversation
with
Brad
and
Andrew
and
Joyce
Rob,
Gannon
myself
and
Diane
Carlson
get
him
out
and
I
think
that
was
last
week.
We
are
about
to
embark
in
efforts
in
Bellevue
and
we
want
to
make
this
a
collaborative
effort
so
tonight
well
talk
to
you
about
the
Kaline.
C
We
would
like
to
come
out
to
talk
to
you
about
really
what
it
means
to
be
a
mobility
agency
and
really
what
it
means
to
be
investing
and
getting
people
to
the
opportunities
they
need
to
get
to,
and
that's
really
about
public
transportation.
I
also
want
to
point
out
tonight
with
me
today
is
fixed
over
who's,
the
Kaline
program
manager
and
Hannah
McIntosh.
Who
is
our
rapid
ride?
Program
manager
I
can't
be
more
proud
of
our
rapid
ride
team.
What
we're
doing
and
delivering
on
the
rapid
program
is
just
phenomenal.
C
I'll
run
through
a
couple
sides.
Real
quick
Joyce
had
described.
There's
a
lot
happening
on
the
East
Side,
but
I
first
want
to
thank
all
of
you.
Many
of
you
have
been
involved
in
the
RTC.
Many
of
you
have
been
involved
in
the
East
Side
transportation
partnership
and
some
of
you
haven't
been
involved
in
the
Puget
Sound
Regional
Council.
All
of
those
efforts
have
come
together
with
input
from
all
the
local
jurisdictions
to
put
together
what
we
call
metro
connects.
C
C
So
what
is
a
rapid
ride
program
about,
and
what's
the
Kaline
we
always
like
to
start
pretty
broad
is
that
rapid
ride
is
really
our
bus,
rapid
transit
system.
It's
a
high
capacity,
frequent
reliable
bus
system
that
really
changes
the
way
people
move
in
King
County
and
a
couple
things
that
I
want
to
point
out
is.
Is
customers
are
saying
that
they
want
a
service
that
is
easy?
They
can
just
show
up
and
go
so
what
does
that
require?
C
So
this
is
a
system
that
it's
meant
to
come
in
and
be
what
I
like
to
call
is
the
rural
trunk
of
our
system
and
really
collaborate
and
coordinate
with
what
st
is
also
investing?
So
what
are
we
looking
at
I've
described?
It
there's
six
lines
that
we
have
now
is
that
we're
looking
at
seven
more
lines
by
2027
that
are
represented
here.
Just
to
give
you
a
brief
overview.
The
H
line
from
Burien
through
dell
ridge
to
downtown
seattle
is
a
partnership
with
the
city
of
seattle.
That
does
include
some
seattle.
C
Transportation
benefit
district
funds.
The
G
line
that
is
the
Madison
Valley
downtown
Seattle,
is
in
2020
the
eye
line,
which
we
are
a
lot
of
efforts
going
on
down
in
what
we
call
our
our
camp,
Renton,
Kent,
Auburn
and
then
next.
What
we're
looking
at
is
the
R
and
the
J
line
with
the
City
of
Seattle
partnership
through
Roosevelt
up
north
and
then
down
south
through
Rainier
Beach,
the
K
line
being
in
2025
and
I'll.
Talk
to
you
more
about
the
timing
as
Joyce
had
described
it.
C
C
As
we
move
forward
as
we're
looking
at
making
our
investments
in
the
future
all
being
electric,
it
will
require
speed
and
reliability,
investments
that
I'll
talk
to
you
more
about
and
then
there's
a
whole
service
and
operating
plan
that
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
about.
Finally,
there's
a
branding
it
sells,
because
people
can
see
and
feel
it
much
more
like
a
standard
line,
much
more
like
a
light
rail
line
because
of
the
the
amenities
but
the
branding
associated
with
it.
C
Really
attracts
customers
in
a
different
way,
so
what
does
it
mean
to
have
the
capital
investments?
This
is
all
about
providing
an
enhanced
customer
experience.
It's
making
sure
that
the
service
is
fast
and
reliable,
and
this
is
where
we
really
need
on
the
partnerships
of
the
jurisdictions
so
as
we're
gonna
be
bringing
and
I'll
show
you
some
of
them
dollar
investments
that
we're
bringing
forth
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
coordinate
with
all
of
you
as
you're.
C
Looking
at
changing
your
your
streets
and
changing
and
working
with
developers
around
how
if
you're
opening
up
sidewalks
are
right
away,
how
we
can
do
it
together
to
bring
in
all
the
investments
around
the
capital
at
the
same
time,
so
first
off
I
kind
of
described
this
a
little
bit
but
passengers
facilities.
C
This
is
something
that
we
in
our
previous
rapid
ride
lines
is,
is
not
just
about
dropping
a
shelter
in
there.
It's
really
about
making
sure
that
people
can
get
to
the
system,
we're
looking
at
bring
in
better
route
maps
route
maps,
enhance,
shelters
lighting
and
then
that
it's
that
real
time,
information
people
have
their
smartphones.
But
customers
want
to
see
when
that
next
bus
is
half
the
time
I'm
on
my
phone,
texting
and
I
can
just
look
up
and
see
three
minutes
away,
and
that
causes
we
know
in
our
customers
a
decrease
in
anxiety.
C
You
know
a
ability
to
more
rely
on
the
service
because
they
can
see
when
it's
coming.
We
also
know
that
there
has
to
be
better
accessibility
so
that
we
can
bring
more
people
into
the
system.
As
I
said,
this
drives
a
high
amount
of
ridership,
but
how
do
we
get
people
into
the
rapid
ride?
And
one
important
thing
is
that
we
look
at
the
land
use
and
the
density
around
this.
C
We
want
to
partner,
with
all
of
you
of
jurisdictions,
to
make
sure
that
we
bring
in
more
of
a
transit
oriented
development
communities
around
it,
but
that
we
also
bring
in
the
local
bus
service
around
it.
We
bring
in
other
types
of
services,
whether
it's
first
and
last
mile
pilots,
whether
uber
and
lyft,
or
whether
it's
Park
and
Ride
facilities
to
get
people
into
the
rapid
ride.
This
is
a
major
investment
in
order
to
drive
the
ridership
that
we
want.
C
We
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
really
accessible,
I've
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
safety
and
security
and
the
access
the
transit,
but
really
what
we're
looking
for
on
the
speed
and
reliability
is
a
real
understanding
that
this
service
needs
priority
in
the
right
away.
It
needs
the
ability
so
that
it
can
be
competitive.
C
It
doesn't
get
stuck
in
the
traffic
that
can
have
the
ability
to
move
through
the
intersections
with
transit
signal
priority
and
that
people
on
the
bus
feel
that
there's
a
real
advantage
to
being
on
the
bus
rather
than
being
stuck
in
traffic.
Those
are
conversations
that
we
know
are
not
just
about
with
the
jurisdictions,
but
also
with
the
local
businesses.
C
I
want
to
be
really
clear
that
that
is
a
partnership
that
we're
looking
and
probably
the
biggest
partnership,
we're
looking
at
working
with
our
jurisdictions
and
with
this
sign
it's
with
you
in
the
city
of
Kirkland,
really
understanding.
How
can
we
show
that
value
in
order
to
get
that
right
away,
that
we're
going
to
all
need
and
then
we're
gonna
be
bringing
in
a
lot
of
technology?
There's
Wi-Fi
on
our
buses
there,
technology
associated
with
the
stations.
C
C
C
This
connects
East
Gate
being
one
of
the
largest
hubs
in
our
system,
where
we
have
one
of
the
largest
parking
rides
in
our
system
and
I
just
learned
the
third
largest
College
in
Washington
State.
So
thank
you
so
much
Bellevue
college
for
reminding
me
of
that
I'm
just
blown
away.
That
is
just
a
phenomenal
investment
that
I'll
talk
to
you
guys
about
that.
We
have
to
connect.
It
connects
what
is
known
as
our
route
271
with
a
new
route.
That's
coming
the
route
250,
so
it
is
really
in
a
linking
to
of
these
areas.
C
It
then
will
connect
up
through
the
Bell
V
Transit
Center,
as
there's
a
lot
of
investments
around
Link,
light
rail
in
that
connection
and
then
finally,
up
through
South
Kirkland
through
the
Kirkland
Area.
With
this,
we
will
be
talking
to
you
I
in
the
next
couple
years
about
next
couple
months
through
the
next
year
about
what
the
alignment
should
be.
So
this
map
represents
high-level
schematic
understanding
of
what
we
want
to
connect,
but
it
doesn't
have
the
exact
network
mapped
out.
C
How
can
we
get
the
most
amount
of
people
on
this
reduce
the
most
amount
of
cars
and
equity?
How
are
we
serving
the
most
amount
of
people
that
are
in
greatest
need
for
these
types
of
services?
This
aligns
with
the
bellevue
transit
plan,
but
I
had
a
really
nice
conversation
with
bellevue
staff
about
how
can
we
update
that
plan
as
we're
coming
in
with
these
types
of
investments
in
the
area?
But
what
does
this
mean
about
the
future
and
joyce
described
this?
We
are
coming
out
to
your
community
now.
C
This
is
the
beginning
of
the
conversation
and
Vic
has
already
been
out
talking
to
many
organizations,
but
what
we
are
saying
is
that
the
b-line
was
a
very
big
investment
and
that
we
are
going
to
continue
to
work
with
you
to
refine,
because
we
have
to
bring
more
people
into
the
system
through
the
v9
and
we
have
to
commit
to
building
a
better,
more
robust
system
associated
with
this
quarter.
As
we
do
this
sound
transit,
the
Blue
Line
is
coming
in
2023.
So
before
that
comes
on
board
starting
from
early
next
year.
C
This
BRT
system
and
the
Blue
Line
do
not
work
unless
local
transit
service
is
actively
connecting
to
it
and
restructuring
so
that
we
can
bring
more
people
into
the
high
capacity
system.
It
is
absolutely
critical
that
we
do
that
and
at
the
same
time,
we're
going
to
be
setting
the
alignment
of
the
Kaline.
C
Many
discussions
are
better
aligned
than
they've
ever
been
Dianne,
Carlson
and
I
meet
on
a
regular
basis,
and
we
have
invested
real
staff
around
and
when
we're
talking
about
coming
in
and
investing
in
services.
We're
also
looking
at
capital
improvements,
not
just
in
the
Kaline,
but
also
in
better
passenger
facilities,
on
access
to
transit,
on
better
speed
and
reliability
improvement.
So
we
can
get
more
people
into
the
system
even
before
we've
set
the
network.
We
know
the
major
arterials
through
your
transit
plan
that
we
need
to
be
investing
in.
C
We
know
where
their
buses
are,
even
though
we
might
not
know
the
exact
alignment
and
we
need
to
begin
those
capital
conversations
now
not
later
after
the
blue
line
comes
in
and
the
BRT
system
comes
in.
So
what
I'm
committing
to?
Is
that
conversation
around
the
K
line
and
alignment
but,
more
importantly,
the
early
investments,
the
early
discussions
about
how
we
can
make
the
sound
transit
investments
work
for
everyone?
C
Real
quick
you've
heard
tonight
from
our
partner
in
Bellevue
college
about
what
we're
doing
in
Bellevue
college
us
in
the
City
of
Bellevue
have
committed
$400,000
and
the
the
college
is
committed,
$100,000
and
really
looking
at.
How
can
we
serve
this?
This
major
important
educational
facility,
it's
important
to
the
to
the
region
in
the
state
and
rapid
ride,
does
need
to
figure
out
a
way
in
which
they
can
better
connect
into
the
system.
So
I'm
really
proud
that
this
study
is
really
well
timed.
C
I
think
what
it's
going
to
do
well
is
also
get
us
lined
up
for
major
grants.
The
best
thing
you
can
do
is
to
set
up
the
study
so
that
then,
as
many
of
you
know
whether
it's
to
the
PSR
3,
C
or
federal
grants,
you
have
that
information
ready
and
then
you
show
partnership
and
how
you're
moving
together
over
the
next
year,
we're
going
to
be
setting
the
route
alignment
for
the
K
line,
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
travel
times.
Equity
analysis
destinations
that
we're
serving
network
considerations
projected
ridership,
but
I.
C
Guess
I
really
want
to
state
that
all
of
this
requires
community
engagement.
We
don't
know
your
community,
like
you
know
your,
and
this
is
where
we
need
your
help
and
I'll
talk
to
you
about
it
in
another
and
then
in
a
few
slides
forward.
So
what
is
the
K
line
right
now
at
about
a
5%
planning
design?
We
think
it's
about
a
90
million
dollar
investment.
We
have
been
awarded
some
funds
through
the
regional
mobility
grant
that
had
been
secured.
C
We
have
in
our
capital
plan
our
CIP
through
King
County
Metro
about
forty
five
million
dollars
appropriated,
and
then
we
have
a
gap
of
about
forty
million
dollars.
So
that's
where
we
need
help.
We
need
help
from
you
as
a
large
jurisdiction
and
coming
to
the
table
and
supporting
us
in
grant
processes
and
understanding
what
other
partnerships
can
come
to
the
table
and
understanding
what
and
if
you
guys,
can
contribute.
Sometimes
that
comes
in
forms
of
dollars,
sometimes
a
jurisdiction
that
comes
in
forms
of
right
away.
C
Sometimes
that
comes
in
forms
of
developers,
helping
us
think
about
how
to
build
access
to
the
system
and
helping
us
in
that
invest
in
some
of
the
facilities.
There's
many
ways
that
we
can
get
to
this
target,
but
we
are
going
to
be
actively
working
with
you
to
help
leverage
some
of
those
dollars
phase.
One
is
the
needs
and
priorities
of
the
Kaline
it's
through
early
2020
by
2021.
C
So
here,
I
am
today
it's
October
28th,
we're
at
the
City
of
Bellevue,
but
I
want
to
stress
that
we
are
here
to
really
make
a
commitment
to
building
our
relationship
with
you
and
continuing
this
conversation
on
what
it
means
to
be
a
good
partner.
We
are
committed
to
a
community
and
making
the
community's
voice
heard
and
making
sure
that
they're
part
of
the
decision
and
we're
committed
to
better
defining
our
partnership
roles,
because
in
each
one
of
these
lines
it's
a
little
bit
different.
C
What
a
partner
can
bring
to
the
table
varies
based
on
who
they
are
so
around.
Community
engagement
I'm,
really
proud.
We
are
really
doubling
down
equitable
perspective
to
making
sure
that
those
who
traditionally
haven't
been
heard
have
voices
at
the
table.
We
have
started
stakeholder
interviews
and
I'm
just
going
to
read
them
off
so
that
you
guys
can
hear
them
in
Bellevue
and
I.
C
Just
want
to
do
a
big
shout
out
to
our
Kaline
team,
with
the
Kirkland
Boys
and
Girls
Club
hope
link
at
work
attained
housing,
Chinese
information,
Services
Center,
used
Eastside
services,
Bellevue
downtown
Association,
the
Kirkland
Chamber
Kirkland,
downtown
Association,
Catholic,
Community
Services
Bellevue
college,
as
I've
already
described
here
tonight,
and
many
others.
But
we
want
to
hear
from
you.
C
I
would
ask
that
we
work
together
to
identify
those
areas
because
we
don't,
as
I
described,
know
the
communities
like
you
know
the
communities
and
we
are
beginning
a
phase
one
Community
Survey
that
we
on
the
Kaline
that
we
want
to
begin
to
hear
from
people,
and
we
want
to
launch
that
as
early
as
November.
And
so
we
need
your
help
getting
the
word
out
associated
with
this.
C
So
what
does
it
mean
to
work
together?
I've
talked
a
little
bit
about
communications
and
engagement
with
local
communities.
We
will
be
available
to
come
to
any
of
your
meetings
and
we
have
a
very
robust
staff
that
is
eager
to
be
out
here
they
like
to
be
out
in
the
community.
That's
where
they.
We
are
part
of
public
transportation,
because
we
believe
in
it,
and
we
want
to
hear
about
how
to
make
it
work
for
the
customers.
C
We
are
committing
to
an
on
Gordon,
going
coordination
between
your
city
and
the
city
of
Kirkland,
Sound,
Transit
and
at
the
table.
We
welcome
joint
meetings.
We
know
as
the
Blue
Line
is
coming
forth.
We
will
be
doing
joint
outreach
as
the
550
is
one
of
the
largest
investments
associated
with
that
and
will
be
a
change
to
your
riders.
C
But
we
want
to
make
sure
that
when
Metro
and
Sound
Transit
are
looking
at
transit
planning-
and
it
is
a
very
coordinated
effort-
we
have
just
begun
that
with
the
north
link
project
and
that's
going
very
well
also
with
community
transit
and
the
other
partners
that
serve
this
area.
And
we
want
to
make
sure
we
support
effective
transit
connections
and
whether
that's
through
investments
and
access
investments
in
new
and
innovative
types
of
services.
C
Investments
with
your
employers,
we
talked
the
other
day
about
I-
have
a
very
robust
team
that
every
major
employer
gets
a
call
once
a
month
from
my
team
to
talk
about
what
are
the
employers
needs,
whether
it's
around
or
passport
Orca
program
around
their
shuttles
around
their
innovative
and
what
are
we
doing
in
their
communities
in
order?
So
they
have
an
understanding
of
transit
planning,
I'm
very
proud
to
say
that
Amazon
Boeing
Microsoft
still
actively
purchased
service
from
us
because
they
believe
in
the
value
of
public
transportation.
C
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
guys
have
that
conversation
with
us
around
your
employers
as
there's
many
employers
that
are
choosing
bellevue
as
being
a
great
regional
center,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
build
that
public
transportation
investment
with
them
around
that
and
then
finally,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
design
and
build
the
capital.
I've
talked
about
the
dollars,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
it
meets
your
feeling
and
culture
and
amenities
that
Bellevue
is
about
and
I.
Think
that's
one
commitment
is.
C
C
I
just
want
to
show
the
commitment
on
behalf
of
King
County,
Metro
and
leadership
that
this
has
to
be
a
joint
partnership
and
the
first
step
is
really
beginning
the
conversation
around
services,
the
future
of
transit
planning
and
then
setting
the
Kaline
alignment
so
that
we
can
work
towards
a
locally
preferred
alternative
that
is
needed
for
a
lot
of
our
federal
grants
and
state
grants
to
make
sure
we
can
set
that
alignment.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
I
welcome
any
questions
and
discussions.
You.
B
B
Work
here
is
done
I
we
we
want
you
to
come
to
we're
very
actually
we're
very
excited
about
this.
I
will
say
in
16
years
there
have
been
a
couple
of
meetings
that
were
rocky,
but
but
we're
very
very
excited
about
this.
What
I'm
going
to
do
with
council
members
I'm
going
to
start
with
council
member
lee,
both
as
our
transportation
liaison
and
as
a
former
member
of
the
RTC,
then
just
so
people
know
it
I'm
going
to
kind
of
zipper
this
up
and
down
so
we'll
go
back
and
forth
go
to.
B
K
Lee
great
report
I'm
so
impressed
that
you
star
was
saying
you
went
to
work
with
the
local
jurisdictions.
That's
great
and
and
also
you
talked
about
community
engagement.
That's
just
as
good
its
ambassador,
and
also
we
talked
about.
Not
just
services
is
important
and
capital.
You
know
investment
I
think
these
are
all
real,
great
ways
to
approach
the
project,
so
I'm
very
impressed,
and
as
you
mentioned,
you
know
this
is
just
tremendous
important
connection.
K
K
So
anyway,
so
I'm
really
impressed
the
thing
you
talk
about
really
fits
very
much
with
our
vision.
This
is
a
Transportation
Commission.
Our
city's
Transportation
Department
has
been
working
very
hard
on
building
some
of
those
infrastructure.
Talk
about.
You
know
we're
talking
about
in
technology.
You
know
talk
about
safety,
reliability,
speed
and
technology.
You
know
which
we're
looking
at.
Is
you
probably
I?
Don't
even
repeat
it,
but
you
know
the
element
of
using
technology
can
increase
safety,
reliability
and
without
waiting.
K
You
know
if
it's
adopted
in
the
public
transportation
system,
they
can
provide
all
those
features,
but
it
takes,
you
know,
take
some
proof.
Take
some
pilot
program
and
the
city
Bellevue
is
trying
to
do
a
pilot
program
to
see
how
we
can
build
that
into
our
transportation
system,
and
so
I
hope
that
the
Metro
you
can
work
with
us
very
closely
and
we're
working.
You
know,
of
course,
to
prove
that
we
can
do
it.
Then
it
takes
everybody
working
together.
K
So
I
really
feel
that
this
is
a
great
beginning,
and
this
is
a
proven
system
and
not
to
say
that
you
know
we
can
do
away
with
Sound
Transit.
If
this
works,
nobody
compliments,
especially
you
talk
about
local.
You
know
this
man
trusts
regional
system
doesn't
work
well
unless
you
have
to
locally.
So
these
are
just
great
wonderful
state
assets
and
I'm,
really
glad
I
really
don't
have
much
to
add,
except
or
the
details
you're
talking
about,
but
as
always
septa
bow
is
a
detail.
K
K
B
B
P
Please
just
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
down
tonight,
giving
us
a
great
presentation,
there's
lots
to
like
here.
You
know
local
public
engagement,
the
business
engagement,
the
investing
in
our
community
and
I
really
appreciate
you
just
calling
out
reflecting
Bellevue's
goals
for
transits.
So
I
appreciate
that,
in
terms
of
the
convenient
the
frequent
the
efficient
is
simple,
direct
and
regionally
connected
question
I
had
was
establishing
a
new,
a
new
line.
P
What
was
kind
of
the
core
criteria
that
you
look
for
when
you're
establishing
a
new
line
which
I
think
some
people
they
see
this
presentation
they
were
like
what
wasn't
there
rapid
line
near
near
near
near
me?
So
what?
If
that?
What's
the
core
criteria
that
you
look
at
before
trying
to
establish
a
new
line?
That's.
C
A
great
question,
and
one
thing
that
we
looked
at
with
rapid
ride
and
first
I,
want
to
start
with
that
when
we
kind
of
look
at
where
we're
distributing
services
per
our
service
guidelines
that
are
out
there
now
is
that
we
look
at
productivity
and
productivity
is
represented
by
ridership,
but
it's
also
represented
by
land
use.
So
there
might
not
be
a
route
there
today,
but
we
know
that
if
we
put
a
frequent
route
out
that
it
could
generate
a
lot
more
public
transportation.
Okay,
that
number
two
is
that
we
look
at
how
they're
distributed.
C
Have
the
values
associated
with
fast
frequent
service
right,
because
a
half-hour
service
doesn't
really
work
yeah
and
in
that
I
would
just
say
the
other
piece
and
element
is
it
has
to
align
what
the
city
did.
So
when
we
looked
at
our
metro
connects
that
all
aligned
where
the
cities
are
seeing
the
value
of
public
transportation,
because
this
service
will
not
work
without
a
partnership
with
the
city
right.
P
Right
and
being
a
marketing
marketing,
exec
I'm,
appreciating
the
the
branding
that
you
have
done.
I
think
your
your
your
yours.
Your
stations
in
particular,
are
very
easy
to
identify.
People
know
what
it
is.
They
understand
the
additional
amenities
and
all
the
stations
do.
Look
like
this
is
that
correct
they.
C
O
C
Is
the
news
in
that
picture
it
represents,
but
what's
on
the
street
today,
with
our
current
six
line,
thanks
Hanna
they
and
that
station,
it
will
have
as
a
larger
shelter
facility
so
easier
to
wait.
We
hope
to
have
some
more
real
time
actually
integrated
into
the
facility
you'll
be
able
to
tap
on
with
your
orca
reader
it'll
be
more
accessible
for
people,
not
just
in
a
wheelchair,
but
it
still
have
that
great
brand.
It
just
will
allow
for
more
comfort
and
ease
and
safety,
because.
P
M
Oh
excellent,
so
you
know
it's
funny
because
for
the
last
ten
years,
one
of
the
things
this
council's
priority
has
been
to
have
better
connectivity
among
the
Eastside
cities,
not
just
back
and
forth
across
the
lake
and
as
I'm.
Looking
at
this
map,
that's
on
I'm
not
sure
what
page
that
shows
the
transit
network
we're
getting
there
with
this
K
line.
It's
really
gonna
add
with
it
between
the
B
line,
the
blue
line,
the
K
line
and
then
the
bus,
the
BRT
line
on
four
or
five
we're
gonna
really
have
an
integrated,
Eastside
I.
M
Think
that's
really
critical
and
I'm
really
excited
about
that.
So
a
couple
of
questions
on
the
first
of
all
I
wanted
to
voice
my
support,
of
course,
to
the
Bellevue
college,
the
yellow
dotted
line
there
to
make
sure
that
it
goes
to
the
campus
of
our
third
largest
college
campus
in
the
state.
So
on
that,
but
then
also
are
there
any
improvements
planned
for
the
East,
Gate,
Park
and
I.
Don't
remember
how
many
stalls
it
is.
It's
got
between
1500
and
2000
I.
Think
about
1800.
C
Stoplights
right
now
we
are
looking
at
the
East
Gate
Park
Android
as
a
mobility
hub,
and
we
have
a
big
study
going
out
that
the
City
of
Bellevue
has
been
involved
in
and
looking
beyond,
just
Park,
&,
Ride
and
so
really
bringing
in
multimodal
facility
multimodal
points
of
transportation.
How
can
you
make
it
work
for
employer
shadows
for
bikes
for
first
and
last
month,
whereas
unless
and
so
we
are
doing
a
study,
we
don't
have
secured
funding,
but
that
study
helps
us
lead
to
a
better
understanding
and
get
so.
M
I
I
just
I'd
like
to
lend
my
voice
to
that.
Someone
in
my
house
would
you
stop
parking
right
every
day
and
the
parking
ride
definitely
could
use
more
capacity
and
I
encourage
this
multimodal
or
mobility
hub
I.
Also,
as
you're
doing
that
study,
would
you
please
look
at
how
people
drop
off,
because
if
you
were
on
the
south
side
of
I,
am
there
is
no
place
to
drop
off
yeah
there's
no
place
to
turn
around
and
to
get
to
the
freeway
station.
M
You
are
it's
it's
a
real
problem,
and
so,
if
people,
if
the
parking
lot
is
full
and
someone
needs
to
be
dropped
off,
it'd
be
great
if
you
guys
could
think
about
that
in
a
holistic
way,
yeah.
So
that's
just
one
one
comment:
I
would
very
much
welcome
check-ins
with
the
City
Council
as
we
move
along,
especially
as
we
get
towards
decision
points.
I
assume
that
our
staff
is
fully
briefed
on
the
timing
of
when
our
input
will
be
most
needed.
Do
you
have
that
on
I?
Do.
C
M
M
Be
great
night
I,
don't
know
you
talked
about
getting
together
with
the
Kirkland
chamber.
I
would
encourage
you
also
to
outreach
to
the
belly
chamber,
as
well
as
the
Bellevue
downtown
Association,
because
they're
two
overlapping,
but
not
completely
in
the
Venn
diagram,
there's
overlap,
but
not
complete
coverage
of
those
two
organizations
for
the
business
business
groups.
So
I
think
that's
all
I
guess
I
had
one
question
where
the
blue
line
ends
in
Redmond
and
the
bee
line
ends
in
Redmond.
Will
those
ever
come
together?
Q
Cuz
I
was
a
frequent
writer
of
the
t71.
It
was
quite
a
milk
run.
Yes,
although
I
think
that-
and
it
is
actually
one
of
the
few
that
connect
Bellevue
college
with
u-dub
so
I
think
that's
an
important
piece
when
we
look
at
how
who
is
actually
being
served
and
I
really
like
the
fact
that
looks
like
we're,
gonna
be
updating
our
transit
master
plan
and
our
frequent
transit
network
that
was
established
based
on
a
2030
growth
scenario.
That
may
be
a
little
bit
different
now
than
when
we
wrote
it.
Q
You
know
six
or
seven
years
ago,
so
I
think
that
there's
I'm
excited
about
the
work
and
the
connection
when
you
think
about
the
partnership.
I
would
like
us
to
also
look
at
the
Bellevue
school
district,
because
I
think
that
a
lot
of
our
our
schools,
especially
at
the
high
school,
rely
on
transit
and
also
our
human
services,
because
I
think
sometimes
our
bus
routes
are
not
necessarily
set
up
so
that
the
folks
that
are
looking
for
service
can
get
there
if
they
don't
have
a
car.
Q
So
I
think
that's
another
area
that
in
right
in
downtown
at
the
Transit,
Center
I,
think
that
is
another
mobility
hub
and
it
absolutely
has
to
work
between
light
rail
BRT
and
this
K
line
coming
in
so
really
looking
and
deeply
understanding.
What
does
that
pickup
drop-off
how
it
all
works,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
listen
to
Snohomish
County
talked
about
their
transit
and
their
rapid
lines
and
how
everything
is
coming
together
and
so
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
really
exciting
time
in
our
community
to
get
that.
Q
The
fact
that
it's
going
to
be
frequent
I
would
like
to
understand
a
bit
more
about.
You
said
it's
going
to
be
above
the
a
DA
and
I'm
curious
about
how
the
bikes
will
work,
whether
when
we
think
about
rapid
on
and
off,
sometimes
bikes
getting
them
in
the
front
is
not
necessarily
really
quick.
So
is
that
gonna
be
part
of
the
discussion
and
design
the.
Q
And
then,
when
we
talk
about
funding,
so
it
looks
like
we
are
looking
at
about
a
year
from
now
that
we
would
be
so
part
of
this
is
lining
up.
Where
are
the
different
grant
potentials
that
we
might
want
to
start
finding
those
partners
and
and
doing
the
advocacy,
especially
if
we're
talking
about
federal
grants
that
may
take
a
little
while
to
to
get
their
attention
in.
C
Q
C
Setting
up
that
understanding,
mm-hm
as
we
know,
federal
dollars
are
not
always
confirmed.
Not
even
you
know,
so
we
also
I
just
want
to
stress
that,
while
this
says
FTA
small
starts,
there's
a
large
discussion
on
can
the
jurisdictions
bring
something
to
the
table.
Can
others
bring
something
to
the
table
as
well.
Q
Absolutely
we
need
to
look
at
that
and
then
on
the
community
engagement
and
outreach
I'm,
just
thinking
that
right
now
we're
actually
doing
a
pretty
big
effort
around
the
2020
census
already
in
terms
of
doing
outreach.
So
if
there
is
a
way
to
even
look
at
what
that
pathway
is
to
reach
people-
and
maybe
that's
a
place
to
say,
hey
we're
looking
at
alignment,
we'd
love
to
get
your
feedback,
because
those
are
the
hard
to
reach
folks
are
not
necessarily
the
ones
that
are
coming
to
City,
Council
or
or
meetings
at
night.
B
L
One
thing
I
did
when
you
were
talking
reminded
me:
I'm
really
excited
to
see
the
communication
so
that
people
know
that
the
bus
is
on
the
way
I
was
at
in
England,
Oxford
and
Bath
and
Exeter
in
2006,
and
they
were
already
doing
that
I
kept
thinking.
When
are
we
going
to
get
to
that?
So
that's
that's
fantastic.
It
really
helps
plan
and
having
a
more
frequent,
obviously
is
a
great
thing
to
do.
L
We've
had
some
great
conversations
there
and
the
other
is
in
addition
to
the
Bellevue
downtown
Association
is
looking
at
and
it's
a
little
bit
different,
now
I
think
much
more
engaged
in
the
community
and
really
worked
well
on
getting
working.
The
BRT
as
I
say
real
BRT
on
405,
with
the
east
side
and
our
Bellevue
Chamber
of
Commerce,
the
east
side,
Chamber
of
Commerce,
this
transportation
group
and
so
I
think
that's
another
piece
of
the
puzzle
and,
of
course,
our
biggest
employers
and
companies
here
are
I
mean
transportation
is
really
important
to
them.
L
So
we
have
a
lot
of
partners
and
all
and
what
it's,
the
exciting
is
seeing
you
being
a
catalyst
to
actually
bring
the
community
and
the
region
together.
More
so
I
applaud
that
and
I
think
we're
on
a
good
path
and
look
forward
to
working
for
you
and
anytime.
We
can
bump
those
timelines
up.
That'd
be
good
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
connection
with,
with
our
light
rail,
it's
that's
going
fantastic.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
J
I
think
that's
important
and
I
hope
that
you
work
with
commute
platforms
like
choose
your
way,
Bellevue
or
limb,
and
we
meet
with
both
of
them
regularly
yeah
perfect,
because
that's
I
think
what's
going
to
really
help.
People
like
me,
know
the
easiest
way
to
get
around
without
driving
my
car.
Alright.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
B
Very
much
so
I'm
I've
got
like
ten
bullets
written
down
here,
so
I'm
gonna
really
go
quick.
The
first
is
to
my
fellow
council
members,
since
indeed
my
work
here
is
almost
done.
This
work
that
you
will
do
related
to
transit
and
mobility
is
as
important
or
more
important
than
the
street
work
that
we
are
going
to
do
and
in
fact
you
need
to
think
about
when
we
widen
the
street
or
create
a
new
street.
What
are
we
going
to
use
on
those
lanes?
What
are
those
lanes
going
to
be
used
for?
B
We
have
an
opportunity
here,
because
I
really
do
think
we're
ahead
of
the
curve
on
a
lot
of
other
cities.
We
have
a
transit
plan.
We
can
work
with
Metro
to
make
capital
investments,
that's
not
all
coming
from
Metro.
That's
gonna
have
to
come
from
us,
so
that
becomes
I.
Think
part
of
that
sort
of
grand
transportation
plan
that
the
city
is
working
on.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
implement
abundant
access,
which
is
the
core
of
our
transit
plan
and
I.
B
Think
again,
that
was
one
of
the
smartest
things
the
city
has
done
among
many
smart
things.
We
don't
operate
a
transit
system,
but
we
created
a
transit
plan
and,
frankly,
Metro
liked
it
so
much.
They
adopted
a
lot
of
those
principles
within
it
that
capital
investment
I'm
going
to
come
back
to
is
really
important.
B
I've
got
some
meetings
coming
up
with
our
federal
delegation,
so
if
we
can
get
connected
with
Joyce
I'd
love
to
have
a
couple
of
talking
points
about
how
what
we
will
need
to
handle
a
growth
on
that
the
Transit
Center,
the
Transit
Center
in
downtown
is
not
going
to
be
able
to
handle
every
single
bus.
That
means
how
we
use
and
twelve
hundred
and
ten,
a
hundred
and
eight
a
hundred
and
six
northeast.
Fourth
northeast.
B
The
work
you're
doing
on
last
mile
will
really
help
enhance
the
concept
of
abundant
access,
where
we're
running
it
on
our
main
roads,
but
and
to
councilmember
Robertson's
point.
If
you
can
get
people
to
find
a
way
to
get
people
to
the
East,
Gate,
Park
and
Ride
to
other
places
from
the
neighborhoods,
you
can
do
that
for
a
lot
less
than
a
massive
capital
investment
in
adding
stories
to
the
to
our
park
and
rides.
So
I
think
that
that
is
a
a
real
important
aspect
of
all
of
this.
B
Also
as
we
move
forward,
we
really
need
to
continue
to
look
at
how
we
deal
with
a
hundred
and
twentieth
in
that
area.
How
we
work
with
you
to
provide
the
infrastructure
and
make
sure
infrastructure
is
ready
for
a
bus
base
that
is
there,
but
a
bus
base
that
handles
all
electric
vehicles,
which
is
really
important,
I
happen
to
commute
into
and
out
of
Kirkland
every
day
I'm
glad
I
go
into
an
out
of
Kirkland.
B
I
can
tell
you
on
those
Kirkland
streets
that
you're
talking
about
the
traffic
at
rush
hour
in
particularly
evening
rush
hour,
is
very
badly
backed
up
so
I
think
as
this
moves
forward
working
with
the
city
of
Kirkland
as
to
how
they're
going
to
handle
that
I
think
will
be
really
important
than
maybe
a
difficult
discussion
to
have
with
Kirkland,
thanks
for
being
here,
we're
on
our
way
to
really
integrating
transit
into
a
full
transportation
plan.
Like
I
say
there
were
overtime
there.
B
A
C
You
and
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
come.
Like
I
said
we
are
available
and
ready.
I
know
this
team
is
taking
tons
and
tons
of
notes
and
I.
Guess
I
really
want
to
state
that
we
are
a
new
organization
under
the
leadership
of
Rob
Gannon
I'm,
really
proud
to
be
part
of
King
County
Metro,
not
just
because
I
believe
in
the
services,
but
our
employees
are
really
committed,
and
so
we
are
committed
to
come
to
Bellevue,
but
not
just
to
the
council's.
C
B
You
very
much
what
is
the
council's
pleasure
at
this
point?
We
have
the
Road
usage
charge
coming
up.
Do
we
want
to
take
a
few
minute
break?
That's
gonna,
be
I,
think
a
fairly
hefty
discussion,
or
are
we
good
to
continue
plugging
on?
What's
that,
take
a
break
so
I'm
gonna
ask
people
to
really
focus
on
a
ten
minute
break.
Let's
get
everyone
from
d-o-t
up
here
to
get
ready
for
the
road
usage
charge,
and
so
I'm
gonna
ask
people
to
be
back
here
by
8:40,
so
we
will
be
in
brief
recess.
B
G
Background
this
pilot
was
launched
back
in
early
2018
and
ended
at
January.
This
year,
council
was
briefed
on
this
particular
topic.
Last
September
of
2018
expressed
interest
in
finding
out
the
results
of
the
pilot
project,
so
we're
here
this
evening
to
are
joining
us
this
evening
is
renal
birth
of
the
executive
director
of
the
Washington
State
Transportation
Commission,
to
provide
us
an
update
again.
This
is
one
word
which
I
merely
just
information
to
the
council
know
for
my
action
has
been
required
at
the
council
this
evening
as
well.
R
R
You
saw
last
year
on
kind
of
the
problem
statement
and
all
that
so
I'll
kind
of
jump
right
into
the
pilot
and
how
that
worked
and
some
of
the
feedback
and
then
the
Commission
just
a
couple
weeks
ago
issued
some
preliminary
recommendations
that
were
are
out
for
public
comment
now
and
we'll
be
going
to
the
legislature
and
governor
and
usdot
in
January,
and
a
final
report
so
they'll
be
finalizing
those
into
their
December
meeting.
Just
real,
quick.
R
By
way
of
background
a
little
reminder
in
2012,
the
legislature
had
directed
the
Transportation
Commission
to
conduct
an
assessment
of
reduces
charging
and
identify
essentially
a
sustainable
long-term
revenue
source
for
Washington
State's
transportation
system
and
to
transition
away
from
the
gas
tax.
So
those
were
important
directive,
words
that
we
got
over
and
over
for
the
last
almost
eight
years,
we've
as
we've
been
doing
this
in-depth
research
and
analysis.
R
The
basis
of
the
assessment
as
follows
is
that
we
identified
a
wreck
rate
or
Road
usage
charge
rate
of
2.4
cents
per
mile,
and
that
was
arrived
at
by
taking
our
current
gas
tax
of
49
point
4
cents
and
dividing
it
by
the
20
mile
per
gallon
average
statewide
MPG
of
our
vehicle
fleet
today
to
cut
up
to
the
two
point
percent
per
mile
rate.
Our
pilot
that
we
ran
over
the
last
year
was
a
simulation
of
a
real
system.
We
did
not
collect
real
money.
We've
assumed
revenue
neutrality
throughout
this
entire
analysis
and
assessment.
R
We
were
not
charged
with
looking
at
what
the
future
revenue
needs
are
of
the
state
and
trying
to
identify
a
target
by
which
we
will
try
to
hit
with
a
rate.
It
was
more
about
doing
an
apples-to-apples
comparison
of
reduces
charging
against
gas
tax
to
determine
the
viability
of
it,
the
feasibility
and
whether
or
not,
frankly,
a
pencils
and
there's
a
business
case
to
be
made
for
such
a
transition
over
time
and,
lastly,
we've
assumed
that
drivers
would
pay
either
the
road
charge
or
the
gas
tax,
but
not
both
during
a
transitionary
time.
R
So
the
pilot
project
itself
is
mentioned
was
12
months.
It
had
2000
drivers
from
across
Washington
state
that
very
closely
matched
our
last
census
in
terms
of
geographic
distribution.
We
also
had
a
small
pool
of
drivers
from
the
city,
brewery,
Surrey,
British
Columbia
talk
about
tongue,
twisters
and
they're,
looking
at
a
road
usage
charge.
Potentially,
so
we
started
wondering
what
that
would
be
like
if
two
countries
had
to
reconcile
revenue
by
miles.
So
we
had
a
very
small
pool
of
drivers
there
to
begin
looking
at
what
the
complications
and
implications
of
that
could
be.
R
R
So
you
were
actually
gonna
pay
and
they
had
to
use
the
GPS
enabled
device
because
we
needed
to
know
when
they
were
in
Washington
or
Oregon
and
how
many
miles
were
in
each
state
in
order
to
do
this
test
all,
but
one
of
them
actually
paid
their
bills
with
that
card.
One
guy
went
to
Walmart,
but
the
rest
of
him
did
comply
and
we
had
a
great
pool
of
participation
so
that,
with
that
said,
we
learned
a
lot
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
interoperability
hub,
but
it
was
very
successful.
R
Lastly,
critical
partners
to
us,
the
electric
vehicle
association
plug-in
America,
were
behind
this
in
supportive
of
the
pilot.
So
the
state
tested
five
different
approaches
to
reporting
or
in
gathering
miles
driven
the
two
on
the
left
or
what
we
call
load
and
note
tech.
You
can
do
those
without
any
technology.
The
mileage
permit.
Only
1%
of
our
two
thousand
drivers
signed
up
for
that.
It's
basically
like
a
prepaid
cell
phone,
where
you
would
buy
a
block
of
miles
and
get
a
permit
and
then
in
the
pilot
on
a
quarterly
basis.
R
We
asked
folks
to
take
a
picture
of
their
odometer
and
text
it
in
so
we
could
tell
how
many
miles
they
drove
and
if
their
permit
was
still
valid
or
if
they
needed
to
react
for
a
new
permit,
pretty
easy
to
do
not
a
lot
of
people
liked
it,
probably
because
it
would
have
required
upfront
money
in
a
real
system.
This
said
the
second
one
above
the
odometer
reading
was
probably
one
of
our
more
popular
ones.
By
itself
it
is
a
postpaid,
very
similar.
In
this
case
drivers
took
a
picture
of
their
odometer.
R
It
started
a
pilot
and
then
quarterly.
They
were
prompted
again
to
take
a
picture
using
an
app
they
can
download
for
free.
That
took
a
picture
of
their
odometer
on
their
dashboard,
they
texted
it
in
and
they
we
generated
an
invoice.
It
was
emailed
to
them
and
on
the
invoices
for
all
the
participants.
They
were
seeing
a
lot
of
detail.
We
don't
see
today's
drivers
in
terms
of
our
transportation.
They
were
seeing
total
number
of
my
driven
in
state
and
on
public
roadways.
R
They
saw
how
much
they
paid
in
gas
tax
and
they
saw
how
much
their
rep
charges
were,
and
then
they
saw
if
they
owed
money
or
if
they
got
a
credit,
because
in
some
cases
people
got
credits
if
they
overpaid
in
their
gas
tax.
So
if
you
think
about
it,
when
you're
at
the
pump
today
we
had
parallel
systems
running,
you
would
be
essentially
pre
paying
your
road
charges.
If
you
were
in
the
ruck
system,
every
time
you're
filling
up,
so
you
get
a
credit
for
those
taxes.
R
So
a
domitor
read,
20%
of
our
participants
chose
that
to
the
right
is
where
we
employ
technology.
The
mile
map
per
smartphone
app
was
utilized
and
we
did
cap
participation
at
14%.
So
we
had
a
lot
of
people
who
wanted
to
use
the
app
we
developed
this
app.
It
was
really
a
beta
app
developed
with
the
University
of
Washington,
but
it
worked
quite
well
and
one
of
the
interesting
features
of
the
app
is
it
has
a
toggle
switch
to
turn
GPS
on
and
off.
So
we
really.
What
we
see
coming
out
of
that
is.
R
It
could
be
a
bridge
technology,
perhaps
for
people
who
might
want
to
do
the
odometer
read
and
not
have
GPS
all
the
time,
but
don't
want
to
pay
taxes
on
those
out
of
state
miles
when
they
do
go
out
of
state
or
if
they
live
on
a
ranch
and
put
a
lot
of
miles
off
of
public
roadways.
They
might
be
interested
in
having
a
way
to
somehow
certify
or
assert
that
you
know
X
number
my
miles
each
year
is
not
eligible
to
be
taxed.
R
There
will
I'm
sure
be
better
things
that
emerge
over
the
years
as
technology
advances,
but
we
see
hope
in
that
with
the
smart
phone
app,
which
works
quite
well
in
the
in
the
pilot.
Lastly,
on
the
bottom
right
plug
in
device
with
or
without
GPS,
so
there's
actually
two
options.
There
you'll
see
a
breakdown
below
the
circle.
R
56
percent
total
of
our
participants
did
select
this
option
where
it
plugs
into
your
obd2
port
of
your
vehicle,
which
is
just
below
your
drivers,
steering
wheel,
column,
37
percent
selected
that
option
with
GPS
enabled
and
19
percent
selected
it
without.
So
when
you
combine
that
19
percent
with
the
28
percent
of
the
odometer
reading,
we
had
nearly
half
of
our
participants,
so
you
know
two
GPS.
We
found
that
finding
alone
quite
interesting
and
one
very
clearly
we
want
to
make
sure
lawmakers
understand
that
we
should
not
assume
everybody
wants.
R
Gps
I
think
a
lot
of
people
assumed
wrongfully
that
in
a
tech
age
in
a
tech
state
that
wouldn't
be
the
case,
the
GPS
enabled
device
obviously
allows
for
the
most
rigor
and
detail
in
terms
of
determining
your
miles
and
what's
eligible
to
be
taxed.
If
you
do
the
non
GPS
approach,
it
just
gives
drivers
basically
an
electronic
odometer.
They
don't
have
to
do
anything
it
transmits
your
miles
and
again
you
were
getting
in
this
case.
R
They
were
getting
invoices
on
a
monthly
basis
in
the
pilot,
so
quick
take
on
an
observations
on
the
pilot
operations.
So,
generally
speaking,
when
we
launch
this
system,
we
did
multiple
rounds
of
system
testing
about
six
months
out
before
it
launched.
We
were
in
the
process
of
doing
that
identified
a
number
of
bugs
and
glitches.
So
by
the
time
we
got
ready
to
launch
and
really
go
forward
with
this.
We
really
had
no
system
operational
issues
once
we
went,
live
the
multi-jurisdictional
interoperability
hub
I
mentioned
with
Oregon
State,
really
went
successfully
and
I.
R
Think
more
for
the
national
interest
really
demonstrated
how
we
can
report
miles
and
move
funds
between
jurisdictions
in
a
pretty
seamless,
effective
and
efficient
way.
In
the
case
of
our
tests
with
Oregon,
we
actually
built
a
clearinghouse
kind
of
a
cloud-based
system
that
we
referred
to
as
the
rut
cub,
and
in
that
it
was
the
first
cash
test
done
nationally.
Nobody
has
actually
moved
money
between
states
for
this
purpose,
so
we
wanted
to
see
what
would
happen
and
how
it
worked.
R
Was
drivers
from
Washington
State
were
being
charged,
2.4
cents
a
mile,
and
our
gas
tax
is
at
forty
nine
point,
four
cents
a
gallon
in
Oregon.
There
recrea
believe
is
at
one
point:
seven
cents
a
mile
and
their
gas
tax
I
believes
at
37
cents,
currently
so
different
gas
tax
rates
different
rec
rates
right.
So
we
wanted
to
be
able
to
identify
the
miles,
driven,
in-state
and
out
of
state
and
give
drivers
a
credit
for
the
gas
tax,
presumably
that
they
paid
in
the
state
when
they
filled
up
for
those
miles.
R
That's
a
big
assumption
that
they
filled
up
in
Washington.
We
don't
know
where
they
fill
up
and
that
ultimately,
will
be
a
policy
called
by
the
legislature
if
they
move
this
forward
as
to
whether
or
not
they
do
want
to
give
a
gas
tax,
we
assumed
it
in
this
pilot,
so
drivers
got
a
credit
on
both
sides
and
then
the
difference
was
what
ultimately,
what
each
state
owed
each
other
and
that
we
both
got
invoice
for
it
and
really
what
it
demonstrated.
Is
it
if
you
are
familiar
with
the
IFTA
model
for
freight
truckers
nationally?
R
If
we
have
a
situation
where
we
have
a
patchwork
of
states,
doing
road
charging
and
not
a
national
policy
on
this,
there
will
have
to
be
a
system
in
place
where
there
can
be
some
consistency.
So
we
don't
impact
interstate
travel
or
interstate
commerce
or
the
exchange
of
revenues
right,
and
we
don't
want
to
have
a
situation
where
we
have
20
different
states,
so
to
speak,
all
doing
it
differently.
So
this
was
a
big
interest
by
USC
ot
and
some
of
the
congressional
folks
who
are
trying
to
figure
this
out.
It
worked
really
well.
R
We
think
we've
created
a
model
where
states
could
literally
just
snap
on
to
this
this
structure
and
allow
States
the
flexibility
to
have
a
lot
of
reliance
on
this
on
this
hub,
Clearing,
House
or
minimal
reliance
in
terms
of
what
data
they
turn
over
and
what
the
role
of
that
hub
would
be
for
their
purposes.
So
that's
yet
to
be
seen
how
that'll
play
out,
but
it
was.
It
worked
out
really
well
in
the
pilot
in
the
pilot
we
had
two
private
firms
providing
the
mileage
collection
services
and
the
account
management
that
worked
very
well.
R
One
of
the
drawbacks,
perhaps
for
some
people
was
that
one
of
the
firms
that
was
the
predominant
provider
gave
us
for
free
app
that
we
could
let
our
test
drivers
download
if
they
wanted
to.
It
came
from
the
insurance
industry,
which
already
is
doing
this
and
already
doing
the
plug-in
piece
you
go
insurance,
so
they
changed
the
the
branding
and
all
that
good
stuff.
R
But
the
app
was
actually
measuring,
speed
and
braking,
and
a
number
of
other
metrics
that
the
state
wouldn't
necessarily
want
or
need
for
road
charging,
but
went
ahead
and
took
the
freebie
and
said
sure
a
lot
of
people
liked
it,
but
some
people
felt
it
was
invasive.
It
pinged
you
every
time
you
parked
your
car
and
said
here's
your
driving
score,
and
you
know
people
that,
were
they
scoring
me,
so
it
could
be
viewed
as
intrusive.
Other
people
thought
it
was
really
helpful
and
that
they
learned
a
lot
about
their
driving
habits
there.
R
Some
people
gamified
it
my
husband
and
I-
used
to
compare
scores
every
night,
so
that
was
always
fun,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
and
we
think
that
one
of
the
lessons
we
learned
from
that
free
app
was
that
the
government,
if
they
do
this-
needs
to
offer
a
white
label
option
where
there
may
be
people
who
want
that
plug-in
device,
they're
good
with
that
they
really
don't
want
a
private
company
or
the
things
that
might
come
with
that,
including
an
agreement
terms
of
agreement.
That
would
allow
them
to
probably
use
your
data.
R
R
Lastly,
the
enrollment
process
for
the
pilot
generated
the
most
important
queries,
but
once
we
launched,
we
had
very
minimal
issues
or
contacts
because
of
operational
failures,
so
that
went
quite
smooth
in
terms
of
looking
at
average
vehicle,
mpg
and
electric
vehicles
in
the
pilot.
We
actually
ended
up
with
a
average
mpg
of
twenty
3.1
miles
per
gallon
of
our
participants,
which
is
above
our
state
average.
R
What
we
learned
that
9400
miles
per
year
is
the
tipping
point
under
that
rate
for
evey
drivers
to
determine
whether
or
not
they're
gonna
pay
more
or
less
than
or
a
road
charge
system,
and
that's
because
today,
right
now
in
Washington,
State,
the
flat
fee
for
electric
vehicles
is
$225
and
there's
also
a
new
$75
fee.
That's
being
assessed
on
hybrid
electrics
as
well.
R
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
kind
of
break
it
down,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
really
be
will
be
driven
by
how
many
miles
people
put
on
their
EVs
to
do
that.
Math
and
kind
of
determine,
if
that
flat
fee
amount,
is
more
equitable
or
reasonable
to
them
than
paying
by
the
mile,
but
for
most
Washington
drivers,
pain
by
the
mile
is
going
to
be
a
better
deal
for
most
electric
vehicle
drivers
in
the
state
mileage
reporting.
R
In
terms
of
that,
the
level
of
algebra
Purnima
client
compliance
was
on
average
higher
for
those
that
fix
the
automated
methods,
the
technology
methods
and
that's
no
surprise,
it
had
very
minimal
requirement
for
drivers
to
do
anything
we
had.
Some
drivers
complain
that
it
was
really
boring
to
be
the
pilot
because
they
really
didn't
have
to
do
anything
once
they
plugged
in
they
just
got
an
invoice
sent
to
them
and
it
was
informational.
They
took
three
surveys,
but
it
really
wasn't
a
lot
of
work
for
our
drivers,
which
was
kind
of
the
whole
point.
R
We
wanted
to
show
that
this
could
be
done
with
minimal
impact
to
your
daily
lives.
Only
six
percent
of
our
2,000
participants
switch
reporting
methods
midway
through
the
pilot.
We
offer
drivers
a
chance
to
try
a
different
method
of
reporting
just
to
see.
So
perhaps,
if
you
want
with
that
odometer
read,
you
might
want
to
try
the
plug-in,
or
vice
versa.
R
Lastly,
the
takeaway
for
us
was
that
we
were
able
to
accommodate
these
five
reporting
options,
but
some
people
thought
were
too
many,
so
you're
offering
too
many
choices.
It's
too
complicated.
It
actually
went
off
really
well.
We
did
a
staggered
start
with
the
pilot
where
we
phased
in
drivers
week
by
week
by
week,
which
would
probably
be
very
similar
to
what
would
happen
in
a
real
system,
but
in
a
longer
a
longer
runway
in
terms
of
starting
it,
and
it
worked
quite
well
again.
R
There
did
not
have
to
be
a
flip
to
switch
where
one
day
something
turned
off
and
something
turned
on.
So,
in
terms
of
pilot
participants,
we
did
three
surveys
over
the
12-month
period,
one
at
the
beginning,
one
at
the
middle
and
one
at
the
end.
There's
a
lot
of
data.
These
I'm,
just
gonna,
give
you
just
a
few
high
clip
findings
overall
experience
with
the
pilot.
What
did
you
think
91%
were
very
satisfied.
Most
people
found
it
very
easy
to
participate
and
and
not
as
invasive
as
some
people
thought
it
may
be.
R
R
In
the
pilot,
we
also
saw
a
small
increase
in
the
strongly
oppose,
which
were
not
sure
why,
which
we're
continuing
to
try
to
look
at
that
data
and
understand
why
people
might
have
some
people
might
have
become
a
little
more
opposed
to
it
and,
of
course,
the
need
more
information
shrink
down
to
7%.
After
a
years-long
of
experience,
based
on
your
experience
in
the
flight,
we
ask
folks
how
their
attitude
towards
the
REC
system
changed.
R
As
you
can
see
between
the
dark,
blue
and
light
blue,
they
were
either
much
more
or
a
little
more
supportive,
again
36%
started
out
and
ended
up
kind
of
where
they
started,
basically,
which
means
they
might
have
started
out,
not
liking
it
and
ended
up
that
way,
or
they
could
have
started
out
really
supportive
and
not
changed
as
well.
So
we
have
about
36%
that
did
not
change
and
and
about
48%.
That
became
more
supportive
through
the
experience.
R
So
we
asked
a
question
of
the
participants
at
the
we
said
which
do
you
think
best
represents
your
advice,
elected
officials,
as
they
consider
next
steps.
Surprisingly,
28%
said:
do
it
as
soon
as
you
can
be
ready,
33%
said
gradually
phase
it
in
over
five
to
ten
year
period.
So
when
you
combine
that
again,
we
have
a
very
large
percentage
of
drivers,
at
least
in
the
pilot
saying
that
they
thought
that
something
some
kind
of
transition
should
start
within
at
least
the
five
to
ten
year
period,
if
not
sooner
I'm.
R
Also
surprisingly,
because
anatoly's
we
run
around
the
state,
a
lot
of
people
were
pretty
excited
about,
saying
yeah
make
the
evie
drivers
pay.
That's
great,
just
leave
me
alone
and
what
we
saw,
and
the
pilot
really
was
only
about
19
percent
of
our
participants,
felt
that
was
a
fair
policy
that
should
go
forward,
a
nine
percent.
Sorry
19
percent
felt
that
it
should
only
go
on
hybrids
or
higher
higher
fuel
efficiency
vehicles.
R
So
you
know
not
a
lot
of
push
as
far
as
trying
to
segment
who
pays
and
who
doesn't
pay
or
have
to
go
into
this
ruck
system
and,
lastly,
about
ten
percent
said:
take
no
further
action
into
the
foreseeable
future.
So
knowing
what
you
know
today,
we
asked
our
participants
which
method
to
fund
transportation.
They
prefer
and
we
did
see
an
increase
from
about
43
to
53
percent,
saying
they
felt
Road
charging
or
paying
by
the
mile
was
the
approach
they
did
prefer
not
a
lot
of
huge
shifts
and
the
other
statements.
R
So
the
Commission
took
a
report
that
came
from
our
28
member
steering
committee.
That's
been
really
working
on
this
with
their
sleeves
rolled
up
for
about
almost
eight
years
now
and
and
the
results
of
the
pilot
and
and
took
their
input
from
a
final
report
of
findings
reviewed
that
and
ultimately
issued
15
preliminary
recommendations
on
the
next
steps
for
ruck
and
Washington.
R
I
won't
go
through
all
15
now,
but
in
the
next
couple
days
we're
going
to
be
going
live
with
the
website
where
people
can
go
on
and
provide
kind
of
open-ended
comments
about
what
they
think
and
their
thoughts.
That
will
be
included
in
the
record
and
move
forward
to
the
legislature
as
well.
But
the
commission's
recommendations
are
largely
focusing
on
including
methods
for
transitioning
that
this
is
kind
of
a
slow
transition.
R
They
do
support
starting
to
transition
to
Road
charging,
considering
the
long-term
view
of
gas
tax
and
the
fact
that
our
fleet
is
slowly
transitioning
away
from
fossil
fuel
over
to
more
fuel-efficient
vehicles
and
electric
vehicles
in
the
long
run.
So
we
figure
that
the
sooner
we
can
begin
that
the
better
final
recommendations
will
be
adopted
at
their
December
17
meeting.
Some
of
the
summaries
of
these
I
guess
the
summaries
I
will
say
these
15
recommendations
is.
R
They
will
likely
recommend
that
legislature
take
a
very
slow
and
gradual
approach
to
introducing
Road
usage
charging
in
Washington,
including
a
start-up
fees
to
inform
a
transition
plan
before
any
kind
of
fleet-wide
program
is
contemplated.
So
a
lot
of
work
to
still
be
done
and
a
lot
to
learn
before
we
contemplate
going
from,
let's
say,
1%
of
the
fleet
to
80%
or
90%
of
the
fleet
statewide
in
the
startup
phase.
R
And
lastly,
the
Commission
would
recommend
that
we
include
state
owned
vehicles,
a
state
owned
vehicle
fleet
in
this
transitionary
pool
its
cars
that
people
are
driving
you,
you
won't.
You
aren't
supposed
to
be
going
certain
places
in
those
cars,
so
I
think
there's
a
feeling
that
your
privacy
isn't
as
important
of
your
driving
a
state
vehicle.
So
they
want
to
test
some
different
approaches
using
those
vehicles
and
use
that
as
an
opportunity
again
to
populate
the
data
in
the
knowledge
bass
around
charging
by
the
mile.
R
They
will
recommend
that
the
legislature
consider
implementing
very
strong
privacy
protection
measures
in
state
law
specific
to
Road
usage
charging
if
they
do
enact
a
law
that
takes
the
first
step
and
they
will
recommend
likely
that
they
restrict
ruk
revenues
to
a
high
rate
relate
highway
related
expenditures
by
making
Road
charging
subject
to
eighteenth
Amendment
of
the
watch.
The
state
constitution.
R
Lastly,
the
Commission
has
issued
a
preliminary
recommendation
that
we
assess
potential
and
equity
impacts
of
road
charging.
This
is
an
area
we've
not
spent
a
lot
of
time
on.
We
are
seeking
further
further
federal
dollars
to
help
fund
this
research,
but
again
trying
to
understand
the
impacts
that
going
to
pay
per
mile
might
mean
for
colors
communities
of
color
or
low-income
underrepresented
communities,
people
that
are
going
to
gas
pumps
today
and
have
ten
bucks
in
their
pocket
and
want
to
buy
gas.
What
are
they
going
to
do?
R
How
will
they
fit
into
a
new
system
that
might
have
more
of
a
technology
driven
base
and
maybe
all-electronic
based?
So
these
are
questions
we
don't
totally
have
answers
to.
Yet
that
is
going
to
require
further
research
to
understand
what
the
implications
are
going
to
be.
We
also
want
to
continue
assessing
or
charging
on
a
broader
scale,
including
looking
at
new
testing
testing
new
approaches
to
collecting
miles
I
mean
we
only
know
what
we
know
today,
and
we
only
use
what
we
have
available
that
in
our
technology.
R
R
Lastly,
this
is
the
long
curvy
road
we've
been
on
we're
at
the
bottom
now
approaching
that
2020
dot,
and
we
will
be
issuing
the
final
report
in
January
with
all
of
the
very
large
appendices
and
a
lot
of
information
for
the
legislature
to
compliment
contemplate
as
they
consider
starting
a
transition
away
from
the
gas
tax.
And
you
can
go
to
this
website
if
you'd
like
to
continue
to
follow
it
or
get
in
our
newsletter
list
to
keep
posted
on
our
progress.
B
Any
comment
from
a
belfie
staff:
okay,
a
couple
of
questions
for
Council
and
we'll
launch
in
or
in
a
couple
of
points.
Aids
I
know
Stephanie
mom
and
we
have
the
two
other
items
may
not
take
that
long
to
go
over,
but
so
I
want
us
to
be
conscious
of
that.
I'd
prefer
to
be
done
by
10:00
lots
of
information.
I
think
one
thing
would
be,
and
councilmember
Robertson
has
mentioned
this
several
times.
B
I
think
we're
now
getting
to
that
point
where
a
some
form
of
council
interest
statement
regarding
the
Road
usage
charge
should
begin
to
be
worked
on,
doesn't
have
to
be
immediate,
but
I
think
it
should
begin
to
be
worked
on.
The
second
question
would
be:
is
there
anything
and
I
think
this
would
be
more
toward
transportation
and
government
affairs
staff?
Anything
in
here
that
you
see
that
we
really
need
that.
B
You
would
think
we
should
have
a
comment
on
by
the
time
the
Commission
takes
action
on
December
17th,
so
that
we
don't
need
to
answer
quite
tonight.
But
if
we,
if
the
answer
to
that
is
yes,
we
need
to
come
back
to
that
right,
mm.
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna
jump
across
the
table
to
mr.
neuen
house
and
see
if
he
supports
placing
these
on
bicycles,
I.
P
Tonight
and
my
first
question
regarding
the
two
poor
2.4
cents
per
mile,
so
if
that
were
to
move
forward
of
that,
at
that
rate,
do
you
see
or
envision
a
scenario
where
there
might
be
rates
would
go
up
or
down,
depending
on
peak
travel
time
versus
non
peak
travel
times?
Actually
I
think
the
PSR
C
may
have
taken
some
a
vote
on
this
or
had
moved
towards
kind
of
a
5
Center
at
$0.10,
depending
upon
when,
when
someone's
in
the
car
when
they're
driving,
you
know
so
any
thought
to
that
at
all
yeah.
P
C
R
Infrastructure
that
have
to
be
invested
on
told
facilities,
but
we
realize,
in
order
to
do
that,
would
require
that
every
driver
have
a
GPS
plug-in
device,
because
we
would
then
have
to
know
precisely
when
you're
on
what
highway,
what
time
of
day
and
what
day
a
week,
so
that
we
could
accurately
assess.
Not
only
a
rut
charge
about
your
tolls
and
the
Commission
feels
pretty
strongly
that
in
order
to
protect
privacy
and
allow
consumers
to
have
full
flexibility
on
how
they
would
participate
in
this
kind
of
taxation
program.
Right.
P
R
P
R
R
O
P
R
Would
say
that
at
least
the
Commission
is
not
there
yet
in
saying
that
that's
the
way,
we
should
go
any
time
soon,
recognizing
that
it
could
happen
down
the
road
but
I.
Don't
they
don't
see
that
as
something
that's
a
feasible
thing
to
do
right
now,
because
of
the
fact
that
we
would
have
to
have
everybody
have
GPS
gotcha.
P
R
I
believe
so:
yes,
okay,
yes
and
yeah,
it's
not
an
easy
lift.
There
are
ways
to
dedicate
revenue,
sources
and
subject
them
to
18th
amendment
requirements
or
restrictions
without
actually
doing
a
constitutional
amendment.
That
would
be
in
statute,
and
obviously
that
means
the
future
legislature
could
theoretically
come
in
and
amend
it,
but
they
have
done
it
with
some
of
the
licensing
fees
and
they
have
not
been
amended,
and
we
feel
that
that
is
how
they
go
about
establish.
P
P
P
R
I
mean
I
think
the
intent
they
have
been
clear
year
after
year
that
they
intend
this
to
be
a
one
or
the
other
kind
of
thing.
They've
been
they
stopped
short
of
saying.
The
gas
tax
will
go
away,
largely
because
we
have
a
huge
bond
commitment
to
our
bondholders
and,
if
you
think
about
the
current
2015-2016
gas
tax
revenue,
it's
gonna
raise.
We
hope
about
16
billion
dollars
over
16
years.
With
a
lot
of
assumptions,
bond
buyers
in
the
investment
market
are
paying
attention
to
the
fact
that
our
fleet
is
getting
more
fuel-efficient.
A
R
Have
pledged
our
gas
tax
revenues
in
these
triple
back
bonds
is
the
first
pledge.
What
do
we
do
when
we
start
to
see
our
gas
tax
revenues
tip
down?
That
is
a
could
be
potentially
a
catastrophe
from
a
financial
standpoint
that
I
don't
think
anybody
wants
the
state
to
be
in
so
I
think
right
now,
Road
charging
is
really
being
looked
at
is
a
very
incremental
thing
that
could
either
backfill
potentially
those
revenues.
Okay,.
R
Start
being
pulled
into
that
financing
scheme
that
maybe
someday,
we
could
use
the
revenues
to
help
support.
But
in
the
meantime,
every
time
the
state
treasurer's
office
issues,
a
batch
of
bonds
on
Fox
starts
a
25
year.
Clock
starts
on
that
committee
and
if
the
state
doesn't
have
billions
of
dollars
to
defeat
those
bonds
right.
P
R
Half
we
have
to
keep
the
gas
tax
in
place,
even
if
it's
trickling,
you
cannot
legally
unplug
it.
Unless
you
can
write
a
check
or
you
say,
we've
demonstrated
this
other
source
or
sources
that
we're
going
to
use
to
support
that
repayment
to
the
bond
market.
So
there's
there's
some
financing
complications.
So
every
time.
A
R
Issue
we've
got
a
new
25
year
clock
starting
so
the
gas
tax
isn't
going
to
disappear
for
a
long
time,
at
least
we're
looking
at
least
30
years,
if
not
more,
even
if
it's
cooling
down
the
hope
is
revenues
will
be
plentiful
and
we'll
be
able
to
maybe
defuse
it
at
some
point.
But
today
that
is
a
really
heavy.
I
think
consideration
that
legislators
are
aware
of
okay.
P
R
G
R
A
P
M
R
I
think
where
we've
landed
on
those
is
that
what
we've
learned
is
Road
charging
helps
us
harmonize
our
policies
right
now,
they're
in
conflict,
so
we've
got
we
have
to
make
we
have
to.
We
want
drivers
to
consume
fossil
fuel.
We
want
them
to
fill
up.
We
need
that
gas
taps
it's
a
consumption
based
task.
So
if
you're
not
feeling
it
very
often,
we
have
a
problem
right
right.
If
you
lose
money
for
roads,
so
that's
the
one
side,
then
the
other
side
is.
We
have
state
laws
on
the
books
today.
R
That
say
we
need
to
reduce
VMT
and
we
need
to
reduce
emissions
all
for
the
right
reasons,
but
those
are
conflict.
So
how
do
you
bring
those
together?
Rotor
gene
allows
for
that
opportunity
for
policymakers
to
have
levers
they've
never
had
before
in
terms
of
thinking
about
policy
harmonization
in
the
context
of
generating
revenue.
So
with
the
road
charge,
we
no
longer
care
that
you're
consuming
fossil
fuel
or
you're
plugging
in
or
you're
using
corn
oil
doesn't
matter
you
can
use
whatever
you
want
and
we
don't
really
even
care
what
your
mpg
is.
R
We
just
need
to
know
how
many
miles
you
drove
so
it
kind
of
disengages
and
brings
harmony
to
those
policies,
because
now
we
can
achieve
lower
VMT
and
we
can
achieve
lower
emissions
and
not
threaten
the
base
funding
for
roads
and
bridges
and
our
ferry
system,
so
it
kind
of
happens.
Naturally,
the
door
does
open
for
legislators
also
to
think
about
disincentive,
ization
type
policies
or
incentivization
policies
in
terms
of
my
car
type.
If
they
wanted
to
do
a
flat
2-point
percent
rate,
for
example,
they
could
and
it
applies
to
the
vehicles
they
identify.
R
We're
gonna
go
in
first,
for
example,
but
in
a
future
situation
where,
let's
say
60%
of
the
fleet
is
now
in
Iraq,
they
may
come
a
time
where
they're
gonna
look
at.
Do
we?
What
more
of
this
or
less
of
that,
and
is
it
a
different
rate
for
more
or
less
so,
not
my
scene,
but
maybe
vehicle
weight
comes
up
sometimes,
should
your
vehicle
weight
matter
on.
G
P
R
R
M
M
R
Where
do
they
fit
in
this?
That's
a
good
question:
I
mean
I,
don't
believe
they're
being
assessed
right
now,
unless
there's
a
you
know,
sales
tax
or
some
general
tax,
that's
being
put
on
natural
gas,
so
that
we're
not
aware
of
nothing
is
coming
to
transportation
that
I'm
aware
of
from
those
sources
but
yeah
they
would.
They
would
definitely
be
exactly
the
kind
of
situation
that
would
why
you
would
want
to
apply
up
to
at
least
certain
parts
of
the
fleet
that
aren't
currently
paying
a
gas
tax.
You
might
think
about
as.
R
M
You
had
the
different
alternative
fuels
roads,
so
I
appreciate
a
lot
of
the
recommendations.
They
recognized
a
lot
of
the
concerns.
I
know
that
you've
heard
here
as
well
as
elsewhere,
about
privacy
and
about
the
18th
amendment.
I
would
point
out
that
we
have
on
our
ballot
this
year,
a
constitutional
member
from
the
state
legislature.
F
Q
M
Be
done
it
can't
be,
and
I
would
encourage
that
that
be
the
way
they
do
it
rather
than
just
a
statute.
I
think
that
would
provide
better
protections
for
yes
payers.
The
privacy
issue,
of
course,
I
like
that.
There's
multiple
ways
to
that
you've
piloted
this.
But
if
you
don't
want
to
pay
miles
that
you
drive
on
private
roads,
you
have
to
have
the
GPS
and.
A
M
That
that's
a
real
concern
for
people,
especially
people
that,
like
to
you,
know
shop
a
lot
and
are
driving
around
the
mall.
You
know
there's
that
may
not
have
a
ranch
in
Bellevue
there's
mall
brothers
as
private
street.
So
just
just
saying
you
know
the
other
thing
that
I
I
guess
choice.
Maybe
Reema!
When
is
the
best
timing
for
us
to
have
a
policy
statement
move
forward?
M
R
There's
something
you
see
in
the
recommendations
that
the
Commission
is
contemplating.
That
would
be
good
to
have
it.
You
know
before
the
17th.
Okay,
if
you
know,
if
you
just
sort
of
say
we,
we
support
what
you're
recommending
that'd
be
great
too,
but
if
there's
something
you
know
once
it
gets
over
the
legislative
arena,
then
there's
our
recommendations
and
then
there's
what
they're
gonna
do.
And
so,
if
you,
you
know,
if
you
have
concerns,
you
really
want
to
hit
home
with
the
legislature.
R
I
would
also
also
recommend
you
consider
sending
something
either
to
your
your
delegation
from
the
state
from
this
collective
district
area
or
the
chairs
just
kind
of
going
on
the
record.
If
there's
things
you
feel
are
important
to
you,
ultimately,
the
balls
in
their
court
to
decide
all
this
we'll
do
our
best
to
inform
them
on
the
options
and
what
the
Commission
thinks
is
the
most
proper
way
to
go
about
it.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
different
ways:
they
could
approach
this
and
so
that's
probably
an
important
time
to
provide
input
as
well.
R
I
M
G
M
There
are
drivers
like
him
out
there
who
would
have
a
real
hard
time
with
this,
yes,
so
having
to
try
to
get
a
credit
later.
If
they're
I
mean
a
take
picture,
I
mean
for.
M
Our
smartphones,
yes,
it's
a
snap
right.
That
is
not
a
hundred
percent
of
the
people
who
drivers
absolutely
so
that's
the
house
of
vodka
for
the
user,
the
cost
of
collection-
you
didn't
touch
on
this
too
much,
but
the
gas
tax
is
incredibly
efficient
to
collect.
Yes,
this
is
a
lot
less
efficient.
What
did
we
save
20
percent?
Do
you
think
cause
we're.
R
Estimating
it
could
saturday
we're
from
16
to
18
with
a
lot
of
variances.
We
think
it
can
get
down
very
quickly
with
other
states,
starting
programs
and
with
private
sector
roles
supporting
it
but
yeah.
It
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
will
shape
what
those
cost
will
totally
be,
but
they
should
not
exceed
18.
But
it's
more
like
a
tolling
type
of
and
gas
over.
M
R
M
C
B
Q
Yes
for
us
to
have
an
interest
statement
so
that
we
set
our
intention
about
what
we're
trying
to
do.
I
also
agree
that
we
should
be
willing
to
go
first,
that
our
state,
that
our
our
own
vehicle
should
be
part
of
that
original
start,
because
now
we
have
more
skin
in
the
game
right.
In
terms
of
how
do
we
look
at
reducing
our
administrative
costs?
Q
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we
really
understand
how
all
of
the
things
work
and,
if
we're
asking
other
people
to
do
it,
we
need
to
be
willing
to
go
first
so
and
I
also
believe
that
we
absolutely
need
to
have
a
sustainable
revenue
source
for
transportation.
I
think
that
our
our
infrastructure
is
only
becoming
more
aging
and
not
less,
and
as
we
look
at
our
region,
actually
growing
we're
actually
having
more
transportation
and
infrastructure
needs
and
not
less
so
how
we
actually
go
about
doing
that.
I
guess.
Q
R
R
If
you
adjust
one
and
not
the
other,
so
they'll
be
a
wreck,
their
recommendation
will
state
or
talk
about
the
notion
of
them
staying
in
sync,
so
is
that
mean
if
you
raise
the
gas
tax,
are
you
or
they
were
to
raise
the
rut
great
in
the
future?
Does
that
necessitate
an
automatic?
You
know,
lift
a
both
so
that
that
type
of
coordination
is
going
to
be
critical
because
of
the
fact
that
we
are
talking
about
it
being
a
a
revenue
neutral.
R
If
you
will
trade
between
whether
I
pay,
the
gas
tax
or
I
pay
the
road
charge
regardless,
how
many
miles
I
drive
that
base
calculation
should
be
as
fairly
said
as
possible
and
Oregon
does
contemplate
this
and
the
way
they
operate
their
system?
So
we've
we've
got
a
lot
of
input
on
a
real
experience
around
how
you
keep
those
in
sync,
so
they
don't
get
out
of
whack.
If
the
legislature
goes
crazy
raises
one
not
the
end
it
because.
Q
It
seems
like
there
are
nuances,
like
absolutely
think
councilmember
Newman
house
was
talking
about,
and
then
I
was
actually
thinking.
If
you
think
about
our
ferry
system.
Yes,
a
different
fee,
depending
on
how
many
axes
you
have
and
how
many
they
are.
So
you
know
if
we
really
think
about
it
as
a
revenue
for
transportation
infrastructure,
do
the
larger
vehicles
that
have
more
of
an
impact
on
our
roads?
Q
B
K
R
There
was
some
of
this
stats
I
shared
with
you
in
the
presentation
that
were
from
participants
in
the
pilot.
We
did
do
a
statewide
survey,
it's
just
before
the
pilot
started,
so
you
kind
of
got
a
benchmark
of
a
statewide
viewpoint
of
what
people
thought
of
the
gas
tax
and
Road
charging
a
purse.
A
lot
of
people
did
not
like
the
idea
pain
per
mile
before
the
pilot
started
and
I.
R
Think
that
was
one
of
the
points
of
the
pilot
was
to
show
that
a
lot
of
times
when
you
talk
about
change,
it's
difficult
to
do
and
to
contemplate,
but
when
you
experience
the
change
you're
able
to
better
determine
whether
or
not
you
think
it's
a
good
idea
or
not.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
wanted
to
gather
that
data
before,
but
we
have
gotten
a
ton
of
public
input
as
well
from
our
call
center
over
2000
calls
came
in
over
that
12-month
period.
38%
were
non
participants.
R
R
S
R
R
S
J
R
R
Well,
the
Commission
will,
in
its
report,
outline
so
you
think
about
this
as
a
transition
and
the
notion
isn't
taking
the
entire
state
fleet
and
moving
it
over.
So
when
we're
talking
about
one
percent
of
the
fleet,
honestly
in
this
first
step
that
could
go
on
for
10
years,
there's
not
a
lot
of
money
on
the
table
to
be
had,
and
so
it
won't
change
anything
for
anybody.
R
Frankly,
because
the
gas
tax
is
gonna,
continue
to
be
collected
and
be
that
99.9
percent
source
of
revenue
for
transportation
when
they
get
to
that
point
down
the
road
in
the
future
where
they
want
to
take.
If
they
want
to
take
that
next
step
and
let's
say,
jump
to
30
or
40
percent
of
the
fleet
or
more
that's,
when
these
tougher
policy
discussions
will
have
to
happen
around,
does
anything
change
with
the
paradigm
of
the
way
in
which
the
gas
tax
is
structured
today
and
how
its
distributed.
Does
it
have
to
change?
R
No,
and
we
don't
there's
some
people
that
will
say
in
30
years,
if
we
have
a
ruk
system
and
it's
everybody's
on
it.
There's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
data
on
where
people
drive
potentially
like
what
County
does
that
data
work
for
or
against
the
county
or
the
city
or
the
state?
Does
it
matter
or
do
they
continue
with
this
direct
formula
distribution?
These
are
questions
that
policymakers
will
have
to
wrestle
with
it.
We
certainly
aren't
there
today.
This
is
something
if
they
want
to
advance.
It
will
be
put
on
their
radar
in
this
report.
R
As
far
as
as
you
look
ahead
to
the
out
years,
there's
going
to
be
many
things.
You're
gonna
have
to
wrestle
with
if
you
want
advance
of
fleet-wide,
and
that
will
be
one
of
the
significant
ones,
there's
also
people
that
get
direct
cuts
of
the
gas
tax
like
off-road
vehicles
and
recreational
folks
that
get
it
in
lieu
of
using
that
gas
in
off
for
offroad
purposes,
and
it
goes
into
a
recreational
account
that
funds
a
lot
of
off-road
parks
and
recreational
lists.
They
want
to
know
what's
going
to
happen,
tribes
want
to
know.
R
What's
going
to
happen
with
the
compacts,
you
know
if
the
gas
tax
someday
goes
away
or
is
no
longer
viable,
what
happens
to
the
compacts
and
those
expectations?
So
there's
a
variety
of
these
kinds
of
potentially
impactful
policies
that
the
decision
makers
will
have
to
wrestle
with
on
how
much
or
how
little
will
they
want
to
change
it
under
a
new
paradigm.
R
But
I
will
try
to
show
you
that
that
paradigm
rule
you
don't
arrive
at
it
for
for
likely
at
least
a
couple
of
decades,
because
we're
really
contemplating
they
very
slow
and
small
step
to
continue
the
learning
process,
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
to
be
learned
before
the
state
says.
You
know
this
is
our
golden
ticket,
and
this
is
what
we're
gonna
do
now
and
we're
on
a
path
and
in
five
years
it's
going
to
be
done.
I
think
we're
quite
a
ways
from
those
kind
of
assertions.
R
R
No
we've
not
asked
for
an
opinion.
It's
non-existent
right
now,
they've
not
created
any
laws
that
would
establish
it
so
the
way
in
which
the
legislature
will
choose
to
craft
it
and
define
it
and
category
categorize
it
is
it
a
tax.
Is
it
a
fee,
there's
a
number
of
legal
nuances
that
we'll
have
already
ironed
out
when
they
set
it
up
and
I'm
sure.
At
that
time
there
will
be
consultation
on
all
the
inputs
and
implications
of
going
one
route
versus
the
other.
So.
R
A
B
B
B
B
If
the
legislature
wants
to
do
a
package
for
transportation
improvements,
let's
assume
all
under
the
auspices
of
the
restraints
of
the
eighteenth
Amendment,
whether
it's
actually
restrained
by
it
or
not,
but
they
want
to
do
it
that
way,
mmm-hmm.
How
are
they
going
to
be
able
to
do
it
once
it's
implemented?
A
A
B
That
is
something
that
I
think
we
need
in
our
policy
statement
and
not
the
other
is
this
issue
of
gas
and
transportation
have
lots
of
of,
as
we
said,
competing
policies
and
sometimes
policies
that
the
concept
of-
and
there
was
some
discussion
about,
this
cleaner
fuels
for
vehicles,
okay
and
and
the
public
is
transitioning
to
that
hybrids
and
electrics
and
those
are
getting
better.
But
I
can
tell
you
from
having
purchased
a
car
recently
and
really
wanting
to
get
the
hybrid
version.
B
I
think
the
manufacturers
are
holding
back
a
little
bit
as
they
see
that
because
they
can
charge
a
premium.
Mm-Hmm
I,
don't
like
that
concept.
That
probably
can't
do
anything
about
that
at
the
state
legislature,
but
the
other
side
of
that
our
fleet
vehicles
and
that's
where
maybe
not
necessarily
under
electric
but
under
clean
fuels,
there's
going
to
be
an
advantage
and
then-
and
so
that's
a
there's-
an
incentive
to
go
to
those
and
I
I.
B
We
do
not
have
an
option.
Okay,
we
drive
our
trucks
well
over
a
million
miles
a
year
at
the
company
I
work,
for
we
don't
have
that
an
option
to
not
drive
to
someone's
house
and
pick
up
the
trash.
So
there's
no
way
that
that
some
of
these
fleets
and
public
safety,
Bellevue
Fire
Department,
has
got
to
respond.
B
If
there's
a
fire
call
right,
so
I'm
I'm
wondering
about
whether
or
not
as
this
goes
forward,
there's
some
way
at
looking
at
that
vehicle
fleets
that
provide
Public,
Safety
mm-hmm
in
particularly
those
who
have
switched
to
clean
fuels
to
continue
to
receive
benefits
of
that,
because
the
public
is
receiving
a
large
benefit.
Frankly,
if
a
company
like
Amazon
I'm,
not
sure
that's
a
public
safety
exemption,
but
if
a
company
like
Amazon
wants
to
switch
over
to
a
clean
fuel,
we're
doing
much
better
on
another
really
important
thing
which.
A
B
R
The
fleet
vehicles
real
quick
if,
if
you're,
paying
the
diesel
tax
or
the
gas
tax
today
for
those
fleets,
mm-hmm,
typically
they're,
very
in
fuel,
inefficient
type
vehicles
that
I'm
most
cases
are
probably
only
getting
10
to
12
miles
per
gallon,
maybe
mm-hmm
on
a
given
day.
So
your
pain
today,
a
lot.
Those
fleets
are
painted
a
lot
of
taxes
today
for
using
the
roads,
essentially
under
a
road
church
system.
Those
people
that
get
below
that
state
average
of
20
miles
per
gallon
will
actually
see
a
reduction
in
the
amount
of
taxes
they
pay.
R
Because
what
happens
with
the
wreck?
Is
it
equalizes
the
playing
field
where
everybody
pays
that
same,
let's
just
say:
2.4
cents
per
mile?
So
if
I'm
driving
a
car
that
today,
I
could
be
paying
five
six
cents,
six,
seven
cents
a
mile
right
and
meanwhile
your
neighbor
who's
got
the
previous
might
be
paying
a
penny
a
mile.
So
what
happens
with
the
ruk?
R
Is
some
people
are
gonna
end
up
paying
more
because
they're
not
paying
very
much
today
and
those
that
are
paying
a
lot
actually
reduce
their
taxes,
paid
because
they're
going
to
only
be
on
the
hook,
for
that
same
flat
rate
amount
that
everybody
else
is
so
you
actually
will
see.
Benefits
come
to
less
fuel-efficient
vehicle
owners
and
fleets
who
are
currently
paying
a
lot,
because,
typically,
those
delivery
trucks
are
not
getting
the
greatest
gas
mileage
today
they.
R
B
B
R
That's
interesting
in
nanos
case.
Sometimes
weight
is
more
of
a
better
proxy.
Sometimes
when
you're
doing
with
it
something
very
heavy
on
the
pavement,
you
know
and
that's
where
these
little
levers
come
in
that
lawmakers
don't
have
today
that
may
help
contemplate
in
almost
a
three-dimensional
world,
as
opposed
to
a
one-dimensional
word,
wearin
twirling,
we're
into
today
with
the
gas
tax.
So
really
no
flexibility
with
the
ASX.
Everybody
pays
it
and
the
diesel
tax.
B
R
Doesn't
matter
what
kind
of
vehicle
you
drive
or
what
fuel
use
if
you're
filling
up
you're
paying
will
enable
the
ability
of
paid
doesn't
matter
so
it's
kind
of
like
we
shipped
into
a
new
paradigm
really
completely,
as
we
think
about
this,
it's.
R
B
B
N
Going
forward
with
counsel
direction
that
we've
received
tonight
and
your
feedback
I
would
recommend
this.
As
as
the
mayor
said,
this
is
a
multi
session
conversation
and
it
seems
like
we
want
to
put
a
little
box
around
what
we
do
right
now
and
respond
to
the
recommendations
and
to
consider
the
other
interest
statements.
N
B
Think
yeah
I
think
something
that's
fairly
short.
That
would
respond
to
kind
of
the
recommendations
going
forward.
You
know,
take
your
time
go
slow,
consider,
I,
mean
I,
think
I,
think
something
I
I
think
it
would
make
sense
for
us
to
get
an
oar
in
the
water.
Even
if
it's
at
a
30,000
foot
level-
and
we
may
not
have
much
more
time
to
to
do
much
more
than
a
30,000
foot
level
and
we've
got
to
have
it
done
by
December
10th.
B
G
Tonight,
you're
going
to
hear
the
Human
Services
Commissioner
recommendation
on
the
2020
CDBG
funding,
both
the
staff
and
the
chair
of
the
Human
Services
Commission
are
here
this
evening,
Jude
Mercer.
Thank
you
for
being
here
to
present
the
Human
Service
Commission
recommendation
and
joining
us
from
the
staff
site
is
Tony
as
far
as
our
assistant,
director
of
parks,
department
and
Edie
Catalina,
our
grant
coordinator,
so
with
that
I
would
go.
Learn
turn
over
to
you.
Tony
thank.
O
You
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
members,
the
city
receives
its
CDBG
funding
directly
from
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development.
The
amount
varies
each
year,
depending
on
the
federal
CDBG
budget
and
HUDs
funding
formula.
This
process
that
we
will
be
speaking
of
this
evening
is
not
to
be
confused
with
our
Human
Services
funding
process,
which
occurs
every
two
years
tonight.
O
We
are
asking
the
council
for
direction
to
return
with
an
ordinance
approving
the
Human
Services
commission's
2020
CDBG
funding
recommendations
and
I've
asked
you
to
provide
some
more
details
on
Bellevue
CDBG
program,
the
funding
process
and
our
Human
Services
Commission's
funding
recommendations.
Thank.
T
You
Tony
Beebe
Bellevue's
federal
CDBG
funding
has
increased
steadily
over
the
past
few
years,
largely
due
to
increases
in
the
federal
CDBG
budget.
We
expect
our
2020
funding
to
be
similar
to
this
year's
amount,
but
we
won't
know
that
for
sure
until
Congress
approves
the
2020
federal
budget,
loan
repayments
from
the
major
home
repair
program
are
considered
program
income
by
HUD
and
are
also
part
of
the
city's
CDBG
budget.
T
As
you
can
see
from
this
slide
program,
income
varies
from
year
to
year,
depending
on
how
many
loans
are
repaid,
we
expect
to
receive
roughly
$200,000
in
program
income
this
year.
2019
estimated
program
income
for
2020
is
approximately
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
We
are
conservative
in
our
estimate
because
we
can
always
add
more
funding
to
projects
that
we
receive
more
program
income
than
we
projected.
T
Projects
funded
with
CDBG
dollars
must
be
located
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
or
served
mostly
low
and
moderate
income
buildi
residents.
This
prevents
bellevue
from
contributing
CDBG
funds
to
projects
located
in
other
cities
such
as
many
arch
projects.
In
addition,
CDBG
funds
must
be
spent
in
a
timely
manner,
preferably
during
the
program
year.
This
makes
it
difficult
to
fund
projects
that
may
take
several
years
to
complete
the
Commission's
funding.
Recommendations
are
found
in
attachment
B
in
your
back.
T
U
Good
evening,
mayor
Domenic,
deputy
mayor,
Robinson
and
councilmembers,
the
deputy
mayor
is
also
the
Commission's
council
liaison
and
we
thank
her
for
her
time
and
attention.
This
year,
the
Human
Services
Commission
carefully
reviewed
the
six
applications
submitted
for
2020
CDBG
funding
over
two
meetings,
a
public
hearing
to
receive
comments
on
the
Commission's
preliminary
recommendations
was
held
on
July
16th.
In
addition
to
the
planning
and
administration
costs
needed
to
run
the
CDBG
program,
we
are
recommending
funding
the
major
home
repair
program
and
the
minor
home
repair
program
at
their
full
requests.
U
Both
of
these
programs
preserve
and
maintain,
affordable
housing
in
Bellevue,
particularly
for
older
adults,
and
meet
a
growing
need
in
the
community.
We
are
also
recommending
funding
a
program
that
Bellevue
is
not
funded
before
mm-hmm.
This
is
ventures.
Micro,
enterprise
assistance
ventures
is
a
nonprofit
that
provides
technical
assistance
and
training
to
low
income
residents
interested
in
developing
a
business
via
their
business.
Basics

Ventures
will
provide
to
eight-week
business
basics
courses,
one
in
English
and
one
in
Spanish
that
will
be
held
weeknight
evenings
that
hopefully
expel
view

U
Students
then
also
receive
24
hours
of
training
in
topics
such
as
marketing,
finance,
business
plans
and
taxes
and
graduates
have
access
to
advanced
classes
and
coaching
ventures
estimates
they
will
serve
25
low-income
Bellevue
residents,
the
majority
of
whom
will
be
women,
people
of
color
and
immigrants
and
refugees.
The
Commission
believes
this
program
will
help
participants
become
more
self-sufficient
and
enable
them
to
reach
their.
U
B
J
L
You
know
this
is,
you
know,
defer
to
deputy
mayor
to
ask
some
more
general
questions
on
this.
One
thing
I
was
looking
at
that
I
wanted
to
ask
about,
was
the
ventures
program
and
having
worked
with
planning
and
the
Economic
Development
Department,
and
this
seems
to
be
kind
of
overlapping
things
that
that
economic
developments
doing
was
there
any
effort
to
work
coordinate
with
with
them
on
this,
and
how
does
it
fit
into?
L
T
Are
some
differences?
The
economic
development
team
came
and
spoke
to
the
Commission
in
April
about
their
programs,
including
this.
The
startup
45
foundations
program
and
some
of
the
differences
are
ventures
focuses
specifically
on
low-income
populations,
especially
below
eighty
percent
of
the
area
median
income.
Their
typical
client
supports
a
family
of
two
a
$24,000
a
year.
The
syrup
started
four
to
five
foundations.
T
L
T
J
Q
T
Several
years
ago
bill,
they
used
to
contribute
money
to
arch
for
a
low,
low-income
housing
project
to
be
determined
later.
So,
as
you
probably
are
aware,
these
projects
took
a
long
time
to
get
enough
funding
and
come
to
fruition,
and
so
we
might
give
some
CDBG
money
three
years
in
a
row
to
this
project
to
be
named
later,
and
the
trouble
with
that
is
HUD
requires
us
to
spend
at
a
certain
rate,
so
we
can't
have
more
than
1.5
times
our
annual
entitlement
amount
in
our
HUD
banks
at
a
school
okay.
T
Q
That
makes
sense
to
me
I
really
like
the
micro
enterprise
and
what
you
said,
which
is
what
I?
What
I
hear
you
saying
is
that
maybe
the
startup
four
to
five
can
feel
a
little
intimidating
for
those
that
are
low
income
trying
to
get
started.
So
this
may
be
a
slightly
safer
space
for
them
to
learn,
and
so,
as
we
look
at
this,
maybe
ultimately
it
can
move
into
startup
four
to
five.
Q
But
for
now
the
ability
to
have
a
small
organization
be
able
to
help
and
and
see
if
we
actually,
arts
are
getting
an
increase
than
the
number
of
folks
that
are
being
served,
because
that
gives
us
an
idea
that
perhaps
this
is
an
underrepresented
community
and
we
need
to
do
something
slightly
differently
than
the
big
startup
45
that
we
have
so
I'm
really
excited
for
this.
Thank
you.
B
P
Q
B
G
F
Right
so
tonight,
council,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
members
tonight
here
we're
just
to
get
started
on
the
mid
biennium.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
back
here
this
evening.
Its
direction
only
and
our
purpose
tonight
is
really
to
outline
the
next
six
meetings
and
what
we'll
be
doing
in
each
of
those
six
meetings
for
the
mid
biennium.
F
As
you
might
remember,
the
mid
bye
is
a
time
for
us
to
take
a
step
back.
Take
a
peek
at
what
our
budgets
doing
make
adjustments
for
known
events
and
make
adjustments
for
known
conditions
in
the
marketplace
and
then
also
any
other
adjustments.
That
need
to
be
done,
and
this
is
the
outline
of
what
we
anticipate,
bringing
back
to
you
for
the
next
six
meetings.
So
on
November
4th
director
Brennan
will
be
here
to
talk
about
a
development
services
fee
update.
That
is
his
annual
update
that
he
does
on
November
12th.
F
We
have
quite
a
meeting
for
you
this
year,
so
we'll
do
an
overview
of
the
mid.
Buy
adjustments
will
hit
the
general
fund
forecast
and
then
last
year,
when
you
adopted
the
budget,
you
asked
staff
to
come
back
at
the
mid
biennium
to
talk
about
fire
inspection
fees
and
the
nexus
between
the
time
spent
and
the
fee.
F
So
the
fire
department
has
done
that
work
and
they'll
be
back
on
the
12th
and
then
we'll
also
talk
about
House
bill
1406,
which
is
the
affordable
housing,
sales,
tax
credit
and
the
actions
that
this
body
needs
to
take.
In
order
to
secure
that
funding
effect,
January
1,
November
18th,
you
can
see
we'll
be
back
with
some
details
for
you
and
then
on
the
25th.
We
have
open
placeholder
for
counsel
follow-up.
F
If
you
have
anything,
will
do
a
mid,
buy
public
hearing
that
evening
and
if
you
direct
us
we'll
come
back
with
a
tentative
adoption
on
December
2
and
as
expected,
there
is
quite
a
laundry
list
of
things
that
we
need
to
adopt.
When
you
adopt
the
mid
vine,
you
right
so
you've
got
a
development
services
fee
ordinance.
You'll
need
to
update
you'll
need
to
update
for
2020
fire
inspection
fees.
You'll
have
to
set
the
property
tax
levy
for
2020.
They
do
that
annually.
F
You'll
also
have
to
set
our
banked
capacity,
which
is
the
amount
of
money
we
keep
at
the
county
for
future
use.
When
you
to
choose
that
use
right
and
then,
of
course,
you'll
have
to
do
what
we
consider
in
lay
terms
the
umbrella
ordinance
or
the
big
long
list
of
every
fund
in
the
appropriation
that
you'll
need
to
do.
And
then,
of
course,
as
we
proceed,
there
may
be
other
actions
that
you
direct
staff
to
bring
back
as
well.
