A
It
is
6
o'clock
and
I
will
call
the
Bellevue
City
Council
study
session
to
order.
We
have
a
couple
of
items
on
the
agenda
tonight,
but
one
that
we
I
did
want
to
note.
Deputy
mayor
Robinson
is
not
with
us
tonight.
She
is,
she
is
out
and
did
request
a
motion
to
excuse
her
from
the
meeting.
So
if
there
is
one
of
you
who
would
make
that
motion.
B
A
Moved
and
seconded
to
excuse
councilmember,
Robinson,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries
so
right.
We
are
up
to
an
update
from
one
of
our
partners
in
in
Bellevue.
That
is
Bellevue
college
I.
Was
there
this
weekend
for
a
festival,
so
mr.
miacca
all
I'll?
Let
you
get
us
started
I'd
like
to.
C
Welcome
dr.
Webber
up
to
the
table
and
to
join
us
and
just
very
pleased
to
have
him
here
this
evening.
He
was
last
here
with
he
was
here
last
year:
yeah
I'm
actually
giving
his
October
first
yeah,
and
so
tonight
he
is
here
to
talk
about
some
of
the
ongoing
work
of
what's
going
on
at
the
college,
as
well
as
some
new
developments,
and
with
that
I
would
just
turn
over
to
dr.
Webber
yeah
as
a
PowerPoint
presentation
that
he
has
in
front
of
us
and
leave
it
to
him
for
the
further
presentation.
D
You
sure
well
I'm,
just
gonna
cover
over
a
few
things
we
have
going
on
at
the
college
now
and
then
leave
time
for
your
questions
and
comments
and,
of
course,
interrupt
me
anywhere
along
the
way.
If
you
like,
I,
was
gonna
start
by
last
year,
I
showed
you
a
picture
with
exactly
Glynn
Robinson
and
a
few
others.
So
digging
you
know
the
ground
they're
breaking
the
ground
for
the
Student
Success
Center,
and
it
looks
something
like
this
now,
if
you've
been
by
there
lately
and
it's
still
on
target
to
be
done
in
April.
D
D
You
know
get
through
that
without
any,
you
know
any
great
events,
fortunately,
but
all
moving
along
and
now
we
saw
the
opportunity
that
went
somebody
on
our
Foundation
Board
mentioned
gosh.
There's
such
a
situation
with
homeless
students
and
anything
we
could
do
so.
Brad
and
I
talked
from
time
to
time.
D
All
of
that
Bellevue
life
spring
volunteers
provided
supplies
for
those
students
for
the
school
year,
which
was
great
and
so
they're
said
and
launched
now
and
I
will
say,
and
with
the
help
of
this
partnership
with
the
City
of
Bellevue
and
then
we're
connecting
them
to
financial
aid,
to
pay
for
their
classes
and
and
we're
also
placing
them
and
what
we
call
the
trio
program,
which
is
a
really
good
support
network
program.
In
fact,
it
has
the
highest
completion
rate
of
any
program
at
the
college,
so
our
hope
is
they'll.
D
Move
from
here
to
transfer
to
a
university
or
out
into
the
workforce
and
not
experience
homelessness.
Again,
that's
our
goal
for
them.
So
just
give
you
a
quick,
real,
quick.
You
know
point
on
him.
One
of
the
students
mentioned
that
she
wants
to.
She
decided
to
go
to
college
only
when
she
found
out
she
had
the
support
for
this
I
wouldn't
be
in
college
right
and
that's
probably
true
of
quite
frankly,
all
three
of
these
students.
One
wants
this
study
to
be
an
architect.
One
wants
her
goal.
D
Another
her
goal
is
to
do
animal
assisted
therapy
with
children
and
she's
studying
here
for
that
and
another
students
interested
in
studying
psychologists
because
psychology,
because
she
received
so
much
help
from
counselors
and
assistants
and
she's
realized.
That's
very
important,
so
they're
all
excited
a
little
nervous
like
anyone
might
be
about
starting
college
and
all
that
kind
on
your
own,
but
I
think
they'll.
Do
fine
and
I
really
appreciate
the
really
the
city
working
with
us,
Brad
in
particular,
walking
me
through
that
and
I
think
this
could
have
a
great
possibility.
D
In
fact,
I
met
with
meal
and
tie
and
I
know.
There's
some
interest
in
seeing
if
this
pilot
project
could
work
well
of
maybe
taking
it
to
the
state
actually
and
have
it
be
a
state
project.
There
are
other
community
and
technical
colleges
and,
of
course,
the
universities
who
have
student
housing
that
could
be
utilized
so
great,
innovative
little
project
here,
so
the
other
I
was
just
going
to
tell
you
a
couple,
quick
things
that
we're
doing
at
the
college.
Just
briefly,
we
always
have
a
emphasis
on
student
success.
D
We've
been
refining
that,
and
now
this
year,
we're
launching
into
a
number
of
initiatives
using
data,
so
we're
kind
of
pulling
together
data
faculty
of
seeing
data
about
their
student
successes
or
showing
him
how
to
bring
that
data
in
and
use
it
to
improve
their
success
rate
with
students
in
their
teaching
learning.
So
our
opening
day,
just
on
Thursday
of
last
week,
was
all
about
data
and
student
success,
but
the
other
the
other
piece
of
our
efforts
around
student
success
are
around
equity
because
what
happens
is
while
we
have
a
better
success
rate.
D
On
average
than
many
colleges,
it
still
isn't
as
high
for
some
groups,
as
others
for
african-american
and
Latino
students
in
particular,
so
we're
looking
at
how
we
can
raise
up
everyone
in
all
the
students
in
terms
of
success
and
that's
gonna,
be
our
emphasis
for
the
next
three
years.
Really,
we
kind
of
set
down
to
do
I
wanted
to
mention
just
quickly
another
thing.
Besides
using
data
for
student
success
in
equity,
this
is
going
to
be
a
year.
D
Of
course,
something
the
students
are
very
interested
in
because
they
know
that
this
is
about
their
future
right.
So
we're
very
happy
about
this
emphasis
and
moving
this
forward
during
the
year.
Leith
will
also
be
speaking
at
the
Bellevue
Chamber
of
Commerce
on
Monday.
Also,
some
of
you
were
going
to
that
and
she'll
be
talking
about
her
in
a
group.
D
My
vice
president
for
administrative
services
and
unfortunately,
he
couldn't
be
here
tonight,
but
we're
still
working
with
your
staff
and
the
consulting
group
on
that
and
looking
at
the
possibilities
that
project
another
emphasis
for
us
has
been
work.
Force,
housing
and
I
discovered
this
myself
when
I
came
to
the
college.
I
came
from
an
environment
where
what
you
know
was
in
an
area
that
college
district
I
was
at
before.
In
the
Chicago
area.
D
There
was
the
ability
of
folks
to
kind
of
get
to
places
where
they
could
find
housing
and
still
get
to
work,
and
all
of
that
stuff
was
a
little
bit
easier,
much
easier
than
it
is
here
for
some
of
our
employees,
and
so
when
we
understood
that
issue
and
got
a
lot
of
feedback
from
them,
we
took
that
to
our
board
of
trustees.
The
stories
of
their
struggles
also
took
them
to
the
legislature
also,
and
so
we're
still
working
on
the
workforce,
housing
and
I
just
want
to
make
you
aware
where
we
have
a
couple.
D
They
assist
with
the
down
payment
for
housing,
you're,
probably
familiar
with
them,
but
so
we
have
partnership
with
them
also.
So
those
are
a
couple
possibilities
on
this
map.
Here
you
can
see
a
couple
stars
which
I'm
going
to
talk
about.
One
is
Lake
Washington,
Technical
Institute
there,
so
dr.
Morris
and
Amy
Morrison
and
I
have
been
working
a
little
bit
on.
Could
we
actually
do
housing
where
we
did
housing
in
this
corridor?
D
They
did
some
housing
there,
the
police
might
use
it,
we're
also
open
to
any
other
arrangements,
but
we're
still
trying
to
see
what
could
be
the
King
County,
Housing,
Authority
and
landed
are
good
now,
but
we
want
to
look
for
some
long-term
solutions.
One
of
the
things
we're
looking
on
as
a
long-term
solution
is
to
think
about
our
property
here
in
Issaquah,
so
we
have
20
acres
in
Issaquah
Highland.
It
was
purchased
to
look
at
a
East
Campus.
D
It's
so
difficult
today
to
get
capital
to
build
with,
as
it
is,
there's
almost
oh.
It's
six
to
ten
year
wait
to
get
funding
for
a
building
now
through
the
state,
so
we're
looking
at
how
we
could
possibly
use
that
land
and
one
option
might
be
workforce
housing.
So
we've
had
a
few
meetings
with
this
acquire
the
city
and
some
of
their
development
people.
D
Some
of
the
corporations
around
there
also
so
we're
still
in
discussion
and
we're
kind
of
we're,
putting
together
some
plans,
but
we
may
even
as
early
as
next
spring
or
the
fall
after
that
be
letting
out,
maybe
an
RFP
or
something
or
an
RFQ
or
whatever,
to
look
at
our
options
there.
So
we'll
see
how
that
develops.
We're
really
going
to
be
in
the
process
now
talking
to
our
employees
really
carefully
about
what
interest
is.
If
you
did
build
something
we
might
use
it
and
again
we
would
be
open.
D
So
the
other
thing
we're
tracking
his,
like
all
of
you,
transportation
right
and
here's
the
line
coming
through
here.
So
we
did
meet
with
some
of
one
of
your
folks
and
with
Metro
and
all
that
just
to
hear
the
plans
our
cabinet
group
met
discuss
that
so
we're
we
are
tracking
that
and
we
are
aware
that
our
students,
a
lot
of
them,
need
bus
or
some
kind
of
a
public
transportation
access.
So
we're
keeping
that
mindful
and
also
looking
at
how
that's
going
to
impact
us
and
then
finally,
I
put
a
Bellevue
promise.
D
So
I
talked
to
you
a
year
ago
when
they
came
about,
maybe
we
could
explore
some
sort
of
a
promise
of
free
tuition
so
across
the
country,
there's
states
and
counties
and
cities
and
regions
that
have
created
these
promises
of
free
tuition
and
what
the
state
of
Washington
just
expanded,
though
greatly
the
financial
aid
for
college.
So
we're
still
looking
at
what
the
impact
of
that
would
be.
D
There's
also
the
King
County
promise,
which
has
just
passed
so
we're
kind
of
looking
at
the
impact
of
those
but
I'm,
also
interested
in
perhaps
exploring
maybe
there's
a
way.
Maybe
there's
also
a
particular
niche
that
you
as
a
city
and
as
a
city
council,
might
be
interested
in.
Maybe
there's
a
group
that
we
still
look
at
in
our
data
and
somehow
we're
not
accessing
them
or
they're
not
coming
to
college
and
maybe
there's
way
we
can
send
vies
them.
D
So
we
would,
you
know,
I'd
like
to
keep
the
lines
open.
If
all
of
you
are
amenable
today
out
of
talking
through
and
seeing
if
there's
seeing,
if
there's
educational
opportunities
that
are
out
there,
that
we
haven't
fully
explored
that
we
want
to
take
advantage
of
well.
Those
are
the
the
main
things
that
I
had
wanted
to
cover
and
just
the
rest
was
really
just
to
answer
your
questions.
I
think
I
want
to
just
say.
Thank
you
to
end
this,
and
also
those
are
our
students
from
the
Democratic
Republic
of
the
Congo.
D
We
actually
have
in
lieu
mabashi
a
there's,
a
Bellevue
high
school,
complex,
scolaire,
Bellevue,
that
those
are
where
some
of
the
students
are
coming
from
and
they
sort
of
modeled
that
school
after
the
curriculum
and
we've
assisted
them
with
some
of
that
curriculum
they're
using
there
and
their
students
have
come
over,
have
done
very
well.
Some
of
them
become
chemical
engineers
and
a
computer
programmer
and
their
student
doing
quite
well,
which
is
good
because
they
need
those
educated
citizens
really
coming
back
to
help
build
their
economy.
We
have
students
from
other
African
countries
too.
D
In
fact,
we
have
a
number
of
students
from
Kinshasa,
also
from
the
DRC
also
so,
but
anyway,
thank
you,
I
think
Lynne
and
some
others
here
hosted
them
in
in
the
building
here
and
they
really
enjoyed
that
learning
a
little
bit
about
the
city
government
and
all
that.
So
it's
good.
Thank
you.
It's
just
another
sign
of
us
working
together
in
partnerships.
Great
thanks.
A
E
F
You
for
the
presentation,
great
great
update
and
my
first
question
was
a
great
story.
They
gave
about
those
homeless
students
and
getting
them
into
housing.
I'm
just
curious:
did
you
identify
them
or
did
they
self-identify
and
how
do
other
students
that
may
be
experiencing
homeless,
but
you're
not
aware
how
we
make
them
aware
about
the
of
the
program.
I
know.
D
I
think
actually,
this
idea
started
a
whole
process,
so
I
went
to
Ivan
Duran.
He
talked
with
Judy
Buckmaster
Judy
kind
of
took
this
on
as
a
project.
Many
of
you
may
know
her
evening,
but
she
took
this
on
as
a
project
and
actually
went
and
interviewed,
found
those
students
and
interviewed
many
of
them
to
kind
of
find
out
what
their
issues
were
and
all
of
that
and
then
our
intent
was
always
that
they
would
identify
these
students
and
so
they're
willing
to
do
that
in
the
future
and
and
then
we
would
take
them.
D
F
Yeah
it
does.
Thank
you
well,
it's,
like
you
said.
If
they
didn't
have
this
help,
they
may
not
even
be
going
oh
yeah
right
now.
It's
just
just
a
great
story
and
I
hope
we
can
hear
about
more
stories
like
that.
When
you
give
us
your
next
update.
The
the
question
about
the
free
tuition
got
me
thinking
about
the
relationship
that
Starbucks
has
with
yeah
with
amu
I.
Don't
know
all
the
particulars
of
that.
F
But
apparently,
if
you
are
an
employee
with
Starbucks-
and
you
have
not
received
your
your
undergrad
education
yeah,
you
you
do
have
the
ability
to
go
to
ASU.
I
was
just
wondering
if
Bellevue
college
has
been
exploring
a
similar
type
of
relationship
with
other
Bellevue
or
east
side
companies
that
might
willing
to
go
into
a
partnership
like
that
with
Bellevue
college.
We're.
D
And
so
actually
we're
talking
to
see
if
we
could
kind
of
do
a
model
of
that
system
there
with
that
employer.
Who
then
said
we
could
look
at
the
larger
collection,
the
stores
talked
to
them,
but
I
was
also
thinking
of
it,
just
as
something
for
the
whole
city
and
that's
a
way
to
attract
workers
in
a
sense.
You
know
if
I
knew
you
know
almost
like
the
Starbucks
model.
I
knew
I
worked
here
and
I
show
that
then
I
can
go
into
this
pool
of
funds
right.
F
D
Set
of
measures
that
you
can
think
of
as
sort
of
lead
measures
and
lagging
measures,
maybe
be
a
way
to
say
it,
but
those
kind
of
lead
measures
that
are
more
short-term,
that
you
look
at
so
because
every
student
have
an
academic
plan.
Now
you
might
think
well
shouldn't
they
at
cetera,
but
our
students
a
lot
more
part-time,
a
lot
of
them
kind
of
get
in
and
then
they
don't
take
advantage
of
all
the
services.
So
we
have
to
get
a
hold
of
them.
So
that's
a
measure.
D
You
know,
I
want
to
say
what
percentage
students
by
the
first
semester
by
the
end
of
the
first
term
winter
term,
have
an
academic
plan
again.
How
many
successfully
pass
one
of
the
introductory
math
courses?
Well,
those
are
all
the
smaller
measures.
You
look
down
term
to
term
retention
and
then
what
they
call
persistence,
which
is
here
two
year
retention.
So
those
are
all
measures,
but
they
lead
up
to
the
larger
measure,
which
is
your
overall
success
rate,
which
is
generally
the
percentage
of
students
who
successfully
complete
a
certificate
or
a
degree
or
program.
D
Then
the
percentage
of
those
who
transfer
and
then
you
can
go
on
and
on
with
other
additional
measures,
but
those
are
sort
of
them
now
when
I'm
talking,
though,
about
a
faculty
member
mm-hmm,
they
may
be
very
interested
in
just
looking
at
the
course
success
rates.
You
can
imagine
so
our
history
tackle
he
got
up
before
the
group
and
said
you
know
we're
history,
geeks,
not
data
geeks,
but
I.
H
D
Tell
you
they
were
using
the
data
to
improve
the
completion
rate
in
their
online
sections
because
their
you
know,
their
class
sections
have
very
high
completion
rate
that
the
online
was
much
lower,
20
or
30%
lower,
and
so
they
showed
how
over
time,
instituting
different
changes.
They
kept
moving
those
numbers
up
so
they're
pretty
close
to
each
other
interesting,
ok,
so
that's
kind
of
that's
the
kind
of
information
we
want
to
keep
sharing
with
them,
so
they
can
keep
iterating.
These
improvements,
gotcha.
I
Thank
you,
Dr
Weber,
for
coming
to
talk
to
us.
You
know,
I,
don't
know
whether
you
know
but
Bellevue
college
used
to
be
Community.
College
has
always
been
the
most
innovative
College
around
here.
I
remember
30
years
ago
they
started
the
first
woman
Center
and
really
helped
a
woman
for
whatever
reasons
circumstance.
I
They
need
a
lot
of
help,
especially
with
cake
families
and
kids,
and
the
lady
who
worked
at
sutapa
assumed
she
has,
since,
when
gone
on,
two
units
of
Washington
and
I
think
it's
direct
of
their
Women's
Center,
and
this
is
just
one
example
of
what
the
college
has
been
stored
in
you
know
having
to
fill
the
voids
where
you
know,
traditional
universities
and
colleges
doesn't
feel,
and
so
he
went
through
the
evolution
of
working
getting
science
technology.
You
know
I
mean
that's.
Why
about
the
college?
I
Has
such
a
wonderful
science
program
with
private
partners
like
Microsoft
and
so
on,
and
they
obviously
we
know.
That's
such
a
global
population,
community
being
from
all
over
the
world
and
and
lots
of
kids,
you
know
were
able
to
find
the
opportunities
that
they
cannot
so
a
traditional
University
College.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
college
and
you
seem
to
be
following
this.
So
I'm
not
surprised
with
all
the
programs
you're
talking
about
it's
a
big
challenge
a
year.
I
For
you
know,
and
especially
in
the
challenge
of
today,
I
was
talking
to
the
Seattle
College
Chancellor,
that
because
of
economy
and
the
pressure
on
community
colleges
are
pretty
big,
I
think.
For
the
first
time
many
colleges
are
seeing
enrollment
drop
and
yeah.
So
I,
don't
know
whether
number
one
it's
the
case
with
go
to
college.
So
that's
it's.
D
An
interesting
phenomenon
with
the
enrollment.
So
if
you
look
at
the
last
seven
years,
we've
had
a
total
decline
of
1.6
percent.
But
if
you
look
at
what
you
might
conclude
our
what
part
I
guess
you
could
call
it
the
usual
Community
College
students,
you
take
out
international
students,
you
take
out
Running
Start
students
and
you
take
out
the
new
bachelor's
and
Applied
Science
students
when
we
take
all
of
those
out,
there's
actually
been
about
a
19%
drop
over
seven
years.
D
Now
you
gotta
remember
before
that
seven
years
there
was
a
huge
boost
right
because
all
of
a
sudden
twenty
percent,
so
you
really
kind
of
just
come
back
to
where
you
were
in
the
sense
a
long
time
ago,
but
the
you
know
I
showed
that
data
and
mentioned
to
the
college.
That's
that's
all
going
to
be
part
of
a
strategic
review.
I
didn't
say
that
before
one
of
the
things
we're
focusing
on
this
year
is
we're
calling
it
a
strategic
review,
so
were
looking
at
what
they
call
a
strategic
enrollment
management
plan.
D
We're
tuning
up
those
measures.
I
talked
about
a
little
bit
kind
of
renewing
those
again
we're.
Also,
looking
at
our
strategic
plan
and
our
facility
is
a
number
of
areas
and
kind
of
pulling
all
that
information
together,
so
yeah,
we're
always
were
always
sort
of
looking
at
that
I
should
I
should
say.
Let
me
come
back
to
your
statement
about
innovation
a
little
bit
because
as
part
of
that
we're
now
starting
to
a
artificial
intelligence
and
robotics
curriculum
this
year.
So
that
should
be
very
interesting
but
yeah.
So
then
enrollment.
D
Let
me
let
me
pause
back
to
that.
A
second
that
sounds
to
me,
horrendous,
to
say,
19%
drop
in
those
students.
If
you're
a
faculty
in
the
classroom,
you
hardly
notice
the
difference
over
seven
years
right.
That's
just
the
population
has
changed
somewhat
right,
but
still
I
want
to
explore
there.
Some
of
those-
and
that
comes
back,
that
idea
of
a
promise
or
something
some
of
those
students
not
coming
because
they
think
they
can't
afford
it
all
right
they
just
not
coming
because
the
market
is
so
hot
for
jobs,
have
they
shifted.
So
those
are.
D
Some
of
the
questions
were
going
to
try
to
answer
over
the
next
six
months
and
get
a
better
sense
of
that
and
looking
in
and
I
will
say,
actually,
we've
done,
the
best
of
all
the
community
and
technical
colleges
in
the
state
of
Washington,
so
all
of
them
have
had
similar
or
greater
decline
than
us.
So
it's
an
it's
actually
a
national
phenomenon.
That's
going
on
yeah
I.
I
Want
to
compliment
you,
for
you
know
having
the
challenge
of
meeting
the
basic
statistics,
but
you
are
coming
up
with
programs,
that's
very,
very
necessary
in
terms
of
social
area.
You
talk
about
equity,
talk
about
housing,
you
talk
about
homelessness,
I
mean
these
are
again
the
new
frontier
that
you're
attacking,
which
most
universities,
colleges
probably
were
not
so
I
want
to
again
compliment
you
on
this.
The
question
is
about
this
one
specific,
there's
a
map.
It's
a
cross,
the
members
plateau
develop
islands.
Are
you
doing
there
for
a
for
for
what
purpose?
G
I
D
Yeah,
an
in
fact
what
we'd
be
hoping
for
would
be.
They
have
some
institutional
space
on
that
land,
not
a
whole
East
Campus,
but
maybe
there
would
be
we're
looking
at
perhaps
an
Early
Learning
Center
there
we
have
one
at
the
college,
maybe
put
another
one.
There
we're
looking
at
maybe
having
some
additional
rooms
that
could
be
there
where
we
could
bring
programs.
D
They
might
even
be
graduate
programs
from
other
schools,
but
you
know
some
of
our
programming
there,
so
not
a
lot
of
space,
but
just
a
little
bit
there
and
then
maybe
the
rest
for
housing
and
hopefully
that
housing
could
help
pay
for
those
other
things.
So
would
you
know
in
terms
of
that
what
we
could
work
out
as
an
arrangement
so
yeah,
unfortunately,
we're
prohibited
in
many
ways
from
making
a
profit.
Otherwise
that
would
probably
be
a
good
table
to
help
us
our
budget
out,
but
you.
D
J
So
I
was
I'm
excited
to
hear
about
the
work
that
you're
doing
to
I
was
trying
to
remember.
When
you
came
last
year,
I
think
you
were
talking
about
a
Bellevue
college
master
plan,
yeah,
so
I
know
you
talked
about
a
strategic
review.
Mom
is
the
masterplan
part
done,
and
then
these
strategic
reviews
or
the
traditional
reviews
will
build
up
to
the
master
plan.
Yeah.
D
I'll
tell
you
you
remind
me
of
something:
I
could
have
mentioned
that
relates
to
all
that,
but
so
we
we
did
complete
a
master
plan,
but
it's
that
traditional
master
plan
that
shows
where
you'd
sight,
buildings
and
all
that
which
we're
never
gonna
build.
Today
you
know
in
the
climate
for
capital
and
all
of
that,
so
what
we're
going
to
do
now
is
we're
calling
the
facilities
excellence
plan.
So
it's
going
to
take
that
master
plan,
but
really
it'll
focus
more
on.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
all
our
facilities
are
first-class?
D
D
How
do
we
with
the
limited
mechanisms
we
have
figure
way
to
get
excellent
facilities,
so
that
may
have
been
what
I
was
referring
to
another
thing:
we're
working
on
last
year,
I
probably
mentioned
was
BC
futures,
which
was
kind
of
looked
at
and
we
it
was
led
by
a
couple
of
our
trustees.
Probably
you
know
Ross
hunter
and
Steve
Miller
and
then
a
lot
of
community
folks.
We
had
a
couple
of
professors
from
u-dub
and
and
some
other
Hospital
called
consultant
representative
and
just
a
nice
broad
range
group
of
faculty
member
myself
and
current
trustee.
D
So
we
had
a
good
group
there.
We
looked
at
all
sorts
of
data
and
we
wanted
to
answer
the
question:
could
Bellevue
college
be
a
separate
standalone,
four-year
institution
on
the
east
side,
and
the
answer
we
came
up
with
was,
of
course
we
could
do
it,
but
it
doesn't
look
like
we
could
afford
it
in
the
next
near
future.
D
However,
in
doing
that
report,
they
did
show
up
some
very
interesting
areas
that
we
need
to
look
at
and
some
data
that
we
can
dive
into
in
programs
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
and
seeing
if
there's
either.
If
we
can
add
to
our
bas
programs,
our
Bachelors
of
Applied
Science
or
if
we
can,
through
a
partnership
with
the
University,
bring
those
to
these
areas
here
to
expand
a
bachelor
degree
opportunity
that
came
up
the
other
issue.
That
came
up,
which
I
know
you're
all
hearing
about,
and
it's
kind
of
an
interesting
piece.
D
Is
this
whole
idea
of
the
impact
of
artificial
intelligence
and
robotics
on
the
coming
workforce?
And
so
then
the
question
is:
how
do
we
prepare
our
students
in
this
new
coming
age
right?
So
we're
calling
that
21st
century
skills
and
we're
going
to
explore
that
a
little
bit
too
this
year
and
probably
much
more
next
year.
What
are
the
actual
skills
that
somebody
needs
today
and
you
know
there's
already
some
thoughts
out
there
and
some
research
out
there.
J
J
Hopefully
that
is
a
pilot
that
can
expand,
because
what
I
think
about
Running
Start
students
is
perhaps
some
of
those
students
could
actually
be
housed
as
well,
while
they're
going
through
running
starts
instead
of
waiting
until
they
are,
they
have
two
years
of
them,
potentially
on
how
situation
before
they're
able
to
do
that.
Yeah.
J
And
and
take
a
look
at
that,
because
it's
mostly
a
community
campus,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
you're
working
on
transportation
and
housing
and
then
the
equity
and
social
justice.
So
to
me
those
are
huge
pieces,
I'm
curious.
When
you
look
at
the
population
of
students,
how
many
are
first-generation
college
students?
Do
you
track
that?
That's
because
it
seems
like
that
would
be
yeah.
D
J
H
J
G
J
D
We're
we're
partnering
too,
with
the
benefits
of
the
United
Way
benefits
hub.
So
we
had
them
there
for
opening
day
talking
about
our
faculty,
how
they
can
utilize
them
currently
over
issues
of
food,
and
we
have
a
small
food
pantry,
but
we're
finding
a
location
to
expand
that
also,
but
we're
also
looking
at
how
we
could
do
something
in
the
future.
So
we're
also
looking
at
maybe
getting
you
know
as
we
get
these
IDs
student
IDs
putting
it.
You
know
something
on
them,
so
we
could
load
it
with
food
benefits
if
they
get
out.
D
You
know
all
that
sort
of
thing,
so
we're
looking
at
ways
that
we
could
functionally
help
out
with
that
issue,
all
of
food
insecurity
and
we
intend,
to
this
year,
focus
on
student
success
and
equity,
but
next
year
start
diving
into
equity,
making
that
the
center
and
along
with
equity,
does
come
these
issues
first-generation
issues
that
you'd
like
you're,
talking
about
in
food
insecurity
and
other
issues.
So
we
do
intend
to
work
on
that.
You
know
with
first-generation
students,
I'll
say.
D
One
more
thing
is
we're
on
it:
we're
on
a
journey
also
to
be
a
guided
pathway
institution
which
is
a
way
you
restructure,
your
college,
so
they're
everything's
put
in
with
the
clementa
majors,
but
it's
easier
for
the
student
to
find
their
way
there
and
and
we'll
get
additional
funding
next
year
through
the
bill
that
was
passed.
Thank
goodness
that
will
give
us
more
funding
for
guided
pathways.
Thank
You
mr.
Stokes.
M
M
I
think
you
know
the
things
you're
talking
about
a
lot
lot
said
by
everybody
else:
I
don't
want
to
go
over
that
same
ground,
isn't
very,
very
good
questions
comments,
the
workforce,
housing,
student,
housing
and
education,
making
it
sustainable
and
also
he
is
something
that
I
mean.
These
tasks
benefits
a
triple
so
far
past
those
in
terms
of
keeping
people
in
school.
M
If
you're
talking
about
this
in
to
students
but
also
I,
like
the
idea
with
and
heard
about
the
one
in
Issaquah
didn't
realize
you
were
talking
to
Redmond
within
Lake
Washington,
Technical
College,
which
is
also
a
great
connection,
because
that's
a
really
amazing
institution
itself.
So
there's
a
lot
of
partnership,
I
think
opportunities
there.
But
again,
that's
that's
a
big
problem.
We
have
in
doggy's
a
whole
workforce
sustainability.
In
a
sense.
M
How
do
you
she's
just
tough,
so
workforce
housing
is
a
good
thing
to
be
working
on
and
hopefully
help
you
on
that
and
and
again
the
students
and
the
equity
innovation
piece
glad
that
came
up.
You
know
the
21st
century
skills
and
all
is
something
very
important
to
us,
and
we
that's
that's
one
of
the
big
things
we
do.
We
have
more
and
more.
M
This
is
a
technology
city
and
a
city
that
really
is
with
innovation
and
all
all
the
big
companies
coming
here
should
help
with
that
whole
concept
and
help
you
and
I
would
think
along
the
way.
There
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
connect
with
these
companies,
and
you
know
work
more
on
that
and
it's
it's
something
with
their
own
workforce.
M
We
find
the
housing
is,
is
difficult,
so
you're
you're,
taking
on
some
really
important
people
used
to
say,
cutting-edge,
that's
kind
of
weird
term,
but
I
think
you're
really
out
there
for
a
school,
particularly
your
size
and
and
for
Community
College
I,
think
you're
more
than
a
Community
College.
It's
not
going
to
that,
but
it's
just
amazing
but
I'm
glad
to
see
that
on
the
housing
part
I
did
one
started
minish
the
beginning,
but
I
still
have
my
blue
hat
hard
hat
on
that.
M
That
day,
we
dug
holes
out
there
and
all
you
know,
kind
of
fake
holes
and
had
the
ground
breaking
it's
so
fantastic
to
see
it
happen.
That's
really
great.
Last
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was
on
the
equity
and
again
that's
an
extremely
important
issue
and
one
that
a
lot
of
conversations
on
that
a
lot
of
people
look
at
in
different
ways
and
I
appreciate
the
way
you've
approached
it
in
terms
of
how
why
that's
important,
how
that
is
beneficial
and
why
it's
something
we
need
to
do.
M
We
have
to
do,
and
frankly,
equity
is
a
it's.
A
driver,
ISA
facilitator
for
higher
student
to
success
and
for
the
community
as
a
community
benefit
I
mean
the
more
kids
we
can
get
educated
and
out
there
in
the
workforce
out
there
and
live
in
the
city
in
the
area,
who
are
highly
educated,
as
you
said,
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
people
still
thinking
that
having
highly
educated
citizens
to
Ria's
is
an
important
thing
which
I
think
we
all
agree
with.
So
that's
fantastic,
you're,
really
taking
that
on
and
in
a
forceful
way.
M
D
D
You
know
game
design,
all
that
sort
of
things
you
might
imagine,
but
we've
also
taken
on
our
non-credit
side,
our
continuing
education,
we've
restructured
that
and
created
a
union
calling
it
BC
enterprises,
but
actually
next
month
we're
gonna
brand
it
and
bring
that
out
and
that's
just
to
really
focus
in
on
the
needs
of
the
tech
companies
and
those
fast
changing
needs.
And
then
the
idea
would
be
these.
N
Are
doing
so
many
wonderful
new
programs
that
is
just
really
exciting.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
of
comments
on
on
the
food
issue
and
the
housing
for
students,
especially
students
who
may
be
homeless
or
at
risk.
One
of
the
things
that
is
really
important
sitter
is
how
the
students
that
are
living
on
campus
get
food
and
whether
you're,
if
you're,
if
you
have
cafeterias,
that's
closed
over
breaks,
because
there
are
students
that
won't
have
another
place
to
go
or
not
a
place
to
get
food.
N
N
We
value
Bellevue
college,
we're
very
proud
to
have
you
in
our
community
and
to
see
how
you're,
growing
and
you're
providing
all
these
great
services
to
people,
whether
they
grew
up
in
Bellevue
or
they're
coming
from
elsewhere,
and
so
I
just
want
to
give
you
aa
Quaid's
for
that
as
a
parent
who
paid
less
college
tuition
because
of
you
know
some
of
those
CTE
classes
or
whatever
that
they
get
credit
for
it's
great
I
mean
it's.
What
a
great
partnership
between
Valley,
School,
District
and
with
the
city
you
know
see.
N
It
seems
to
me
that
a
lot
of
the
work
you're
doing
with
the
stem
and
stuff
is
providing
a
great
service
to
the
economy
and
the
businesses
here
and
I'm,
also
reflecting
on
how
the
college
is
really
it's
becoming
more
of
a
third
place.
It
is
a
commuter
school,
but
it's
really
becoming
much
more
of
a
hub
of
the
community
for
some
of
the
youth
young
adults
in
our
communities.
So
I'm
really
grateful
for
that
and
someone
who
used
to
go
do
the
parent
talk.
Classes
is
a
great
third
place
for
that
program
as
well.
N
So,
just
really
just
really
great
a
collegues
happy
to
hear
it
so
happy
you're
coming
to
present
to
us
on
the
Aquatic
Center
counselor,
Stokes
I
wasn't
gonna
say
that
much
because
I
know
you're
not
here
for
that
tonight.
That's
coming
back
to
council
in
October,
but
really
appreciate
the
partnership.
I
really
think
we're
gonna
be
able
to
do
something:
wonderful
for
your
students
and
for
the
whole
regional
community
with
that
partnership.
So
it
has
very
strong
support
here
and
in
City,
Hall
and
all
around
the
region.
D
D
One
come
back
to
the
food.
I
will
mention
that
at
the
student
housing
we
do
have
food
in
there
kind
of
limited
food,
but
it's
great.
I
order
a
pizza
dare
on
my
way
pick
it
up.
It's
very
good
custom
made
and
will
be,
we've
been
expanding.
What
we
do
for
food
service
anyway,
we
actually
bring
food
trucks
on
once
a
month
now,
just
for
a
little
variety
to
the
campus
and
we're
trying
some
different
things.
D
D
So
if
any
of
you'd
like
to
come
and
we're
going
to
have
a
group
from
called
the
post-secondary
international
network
was
about
15
presidents
from
colleges
around
the
Australia
South
Korea
Canada,
other
US
and
they're,
mostly
in
Polytechnic
sort
of
which
John's
come
in,
we're
we're
not
quite
a
two-year
school
and
we're
not
a
separate,
four-year
school.
Where
we're
something
a
little
bit
in
between
now
with
these
bachelor's
degrees
and
these
others,
it's
almost
like
a
little
bit
like
a
Polytechnic
in
oh.
A
A
Actually,
I
picked
up
an
idea
on
that
from
conference
and
there's
so
I
would
have
to
dig
back
through
my
emails
and
share
that
with
you
may
or
may
not
be
the
right
thing,
but
it
might
might
be
a
good
way
and
also
maybe
we
can
connect
up
here
on
the
affordable
housing
front.
A
couple
of
things
to
chat
about
with
you
on
that.
So.
D
A
Again,
just
from
having
been
working
on
it
for
a
while,
the
partnership
that
speed
that's
blossoming,
with
the
school
district
being
able
to
deal
with
students
who
were
on
housed
again
from
housing,
get
them
education
and
get
them
a
better.
Life
is
just
really
a
fabulous
thing.
So
would
really
appreciate
that
and
Brad
appreciate
you
working
with
dr.
Webber
on
that
and.
K
A
A
A
Okay,
we
have
one
more
item
on
the
agenda
for
tonight,
and
the
potential
I
think
exists
that
we
might
be
able
to
do
a
couple
of
items
from
the
the
main
meeting,
depending
on
how
long
we
go
here.
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
discussion
on
extending
the
multifamily
tax
exemption
program
and
mr.
miacca
all
that
you.
C
The
multifamily
tax
exemption
program
is
set
to
expire
based
on
the
sunset
provision.
This
December
the
end
of
this
year,
December
31st
2019.
Unless
the
council
takes
some
action.
That's
why
we're
here
early
to
talk
to
the
council
about
the
the
program?
And
tonight
we
are
looking
for,
if,
if
the
council
is
ready,
some
direction
on
whether
to
bring
this
back
at
a
future
council
meeting
to
either
continue
it
put
into
the
sunset
clause
or
with
the
staff
recommendation,
is
to
take
the
expiration
date
off.
O
Thank
you,
sue
manager,
Meraki
good
evening,
Council
we're
here
this
evening
to
talk
about
keeping
the
MFT
program
in
place
going
forward
and
I.
Think
city
manager,
Miyake
did
a
good
job,
explaining
sort
of
what
you're
gonna
be
asked
tonight,
I
thought
as
we
introduced
this
topic.
We
might
just
put
it
in
context.
O
So
it's
our
recommendation
that
the
council
consider
removing
the
sunset
clause
that
you
put
in
place
as
city
manager
Malky
said
four
years
ago,
and
we're
happy
to
talk
about
any
policy
implications
with
that
and
miss
Lemoine
would
like
to
make
a
few
comments
about
the
status
of
the
program
and
a
few
of
the
buildings
that
are
taking
advantage
of
that
program.
Right
now
and
then
I'll
be
happy
to
talk
about
any
large
policy
things.
If
you
don't
like.
Okay,.
G
Think
that's
about
it.
We're
just
asking
tonight
for
direction
to
extend
the
program
and
just
one
comment
regarding
scope.
We
will
be
coming
back
to
council
next
year
to
open
up
this
program
to
look
at
other
issues.
We
look
probably
about
the
time
we're
doing
land
use
code,
amendments
for
East
Main
because
of
the
interest,
perhaps
in
adding
a
boundary
for
EM
FTE
at
at
East
Main.
P
G
J
Well,
thank
you.
So
what
we're
voting
on
tonight
is
to
have
staff
come
back
with
a
recommendation
to
extend
without
the
five-year
sunset.
Is
that
right,
so
I
notice
in
the
packet
it
talks
about
how
there's
one
apartment
that
came
online
in
2019
and
then
one
that's
coming
online
in
2020
how
many
affordable
units
did
we
actually
get
with
the
the
one
that
started
this
year?
There.
G
J
Then,
when
you
talked
about
regulatory
I
know
that
as
part
of
the
Association
of
washington
city
legislative
committee,
this
was
actually
one
of
the
items
that
was
on
the
legislative
agenda
for
AWC,
which
is
to
actually
look
at
advocating
to
extend
the
tax
exemption
for
longer
than
12
years.
There
was
also
a
discussion
about
expanding
it
for
preserving
existing,
affordable
housing,
and
so
when
you
talk
about
regulatory
are
the
are
there
things
that
the
city
can
do
separately
than
the
state?
G
Advocating
at
the
state
level
a
lot
of
the
income
taxes
are
probably
text.
That's
exempted
is
the
state's
property
tax,
so
this
is
something
that
the
state
legislature
passed,
that
cities
can
voluntarily
adopt
or
not
adopt
I'm,
assuming
that
the
two
amendments
that
you're
speaking
to
this
week
would
bring
back
and
have
counsel
choose
whether
we
wanted
to
adopt
those
if
the
state
made
them
available.
Okay,.
J
O
Not
from
our
perspective,
we
think
this
is
a
really
good
program.
If
you
look
at
the
total
amount
of
tax
revenue
that
might
not
be
collected
as
a
result
of
someone
taking
advantage
of
this
program,
the
amount
of
units
that
are
getting
created
makes
the
amount
of
dollars
per
unit
very,
very
low
compared
to
if
we
tried
to
cash
fund
or
subsidize
the
creation
of
new
units.
O
J
L
H
G
F
Council,
member
annuity,
Thank
You
Mac,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
in
general
favor
extending
this,
and
definitely
just
want
to
make
sure
this
does
not
prevent
us
from
making
any
tweaks
to
this
program
in
the
future.
If
we
start
getting
some
either
I,
don't
know
issues
or
ways
we
can
tweak
it
to
further
incentivizes
and
stronger.
This
wouldn't
prevent
us
from
doing
that.
Correct
that
is
correct.
Okay,
just
want
to
make
sure-
and
we
have
so
far
created
63
total
units,
as
this
program
has
been
in
place
or.
F
Is
correct?
Was
there
a
goal
that
was
established
that
we
were
actually
trying
to
hit,
or
was
what
was
or
not
I'm
just
trying
to
gauge
if
63
is
certainly
that's
great,
affordable
units,
but
I'm
just
wondering
if
there
was
a
certain
goal
that
we
were
trying
to
hit
when
we
launched
this
program
originally
I
think.
G
F
That's
I
mean
I
think
this
is
a
great
program,
just
curious
if
we
need,
if
there's
ways
that
we
can
further
incentivize
or
need
to
do
that
or
look
at
that
again,
because
certainly
you
know
what
the
rate
of
our
economy
and
affordable
housing
those
are
premium,
so
I'm
always
looking
the
way
we
can
increase
that
and
then
lastly,
I
can
find
my
question
here.
So
this
is
for
new
developments.
Only
correct
yes,.
G
F
Gotcha
and
my
last
question
was
regard
to
in
our
packet-
be
here-
there
was
a
small
provision
regarding
required
parking
spaces,
so
the
rental
cost
includes
rent
utilities,
one
required
parking
space
and
other
required
charges.
I'm
just
curious
if
that
is
standard,
to
have
that
required
parking
space
or
amongst
other
affordable
housing
guidelines,
or
was
that
just
for
this
program?
I
just
wanted
to
get
your
take
on
that
I
think.
O
Customer
Newhouse
is
referring
to
this
handout
that
sort
of
walks
through
how
to
apply
for
M
FTE.
There's
a
sub
note
on
the
very
back
page
on
the
bottom
that
articulates
that
housing
and
what
goes
into
the
cost
of
housing
is
not
just
monthly
rent,
its
utilities
and
a
host
of
other
things
to
have
someone
actually
be
able
to
live
so
parking
and
the
provision
of
parking
is
actually
administered
to
the
city's
land
use
code.
So
you
work
with
our
Development
Services
Department.
O
I
Perceive
this
result
and
we've
had
you
know
after
two
years
of
demonstration,
that
this
seemed
to
work
well,
I
always
felt
that
you
know
the
program
city
supports,
always
support
incentive.
Anyway,
you
know
things
that
we
encourage
people
to
do
rather
than
penalize
and
I
think
this
works
in
the
spirit
of
that.
I
The
way
to
increase,
affordable
housing
is
to
make
the
costs
lower
and
I
think
without
charging
the
taxes
that
provides
incentive
to
do
it,
and
the
fact
that
you
know
you
mentioned
about
having
the
other
opportunities
when
you
have
the
directors
to
provide
some
directions
in
the
future
or
whatever
we
decide.
That
is
more
to
incentivize
and
I.
Think.
I
As
long
as
we
achieve
our
goal,
that's
the
key
and
without
overly
burdening
our
taxpayers,
because
we're
losing
a
lot
of
revenue,
some
like
it
isn't
going
to
be,
and
your
ration
are-
that
we're
actually
going
to
generate
more
taxes
because
of
a
new
property.
You
know
that's
going
to
be
coming
online,
so
I
think
for
all
those
reasons.
I
N
Really
glad
to
hear
that
you're
gonna
be
coming
back
twice
a
year
to
check
in
on
the
status
of
goal
achievement
on
our
fordable
housing
plan,
because
if
we
don't
measure
it
and
we
don't
count
it
and
we
don't
check
in
you
know,
sometimes
things
can
not
slip
through.
So
that's
great
news,
I'm,
supportive
of
extending
the
expiration
date
we're
getting
rid
of
it
all
together.
Do
you
have
a
recommendation
on
which
we
should
do.
G
N
O
O
N
I
think
that
we
should
make
this
more
available
to
people,
so
that's
I'll,
just
put
in
for
that
and
hope
that
it
comes
up
back
quickly
and
then,
when
it
comes
back,
I
don't
know
that
I
100%
understand
how
someone
does
a
project
if
they're,
using
the
f,
AR
density,
bonus
or
exemption
for
affordable
housing
and
the
m
FTE,
because
they
have
different
standards
so,
for
example,
the
fa
our
bonus
under
the
land
use
code
might
provide
a
bonus
for
eighty
two
hundred
twenty
percent
of
area.
N
Median
income-
yes
m
ft
e
only
goes
to
seventy
percent.
So
how
do
we
I
would
just
when
it
comes
back
up
like
a
better
understanding
of
how
we
can
true
it
up,
because
I
want
them
to
enforce
and
leverage
each
other
so
that
if
we
have
people
using
both
programs,
we
get
more
affordable
housing.
So,
and
you
don't
need
to
go
into
that
tonight,
okay
I
would
like
to
have
a
better
understanding
that
that
wouldn't
come
back.
Okay
on
that,
if
you
don't
mind,
it's.
G
A
G
M
The
phrases
wherever
appropriate
right
ya,
know
I
think
this
is
exciting.
I
do
remember
the
conversations
we
had.
We
had
a
good
conversation
before
and
it
wasn't
easy
to
get
to
where
we
are.
We
worked
through
it
and
I
think
this
is
actually
getting
it
out
there.
Sometimes
you
have
to
have
the
proof
is
in
the
pudding,
we're
starting
to
get
there
so
I
think
that's
important
I,
don't
have
any
other
questions.
M
Think
we've
gone
over
these
the
five
year
was
reasonable
at
the
time
we've
looked
at
it
and
it
seems
to
be
a
success
and
I.
Think
and
I
do
agree.
There
things
we
can
look
at
when
we
get
it
in
place
and
good
next.
You
know
few
months
now
we
look
at
this.
It's
part
of
the
whole
affordable
housing
piece,
but
I'm
very
glad.
M
A
A
A
I'm
sorry
I
just
Oh
East
Main,
so
part
of
part
of
what's
going
on
with
East
Main
right
now,
as
I
remember
is,
there
will
be
some
looking
at
the
economics
of
the
incentive
system,
one
of
which
will
be
affordable
housing.
So
do
we
need
to
take
action
to
get
em
FTE
into
East
Main
sooner
rather
than
later?
Does
that
get
considered
as
part
of
it?
How
does
that
work?
Logistically.
O
It'll
actually
two
separate
actions.
So
when
the
council
eventually
adopts
a
land
use
code,
there
will
be
an
FA
or
incentive,
presumably
not
there's
only
too
much
about
how
your
dialogue
will
go
and
that'll
be
based
on
the
economic
work
that
you're
describing
separate
from
that.
If
you
go
to
the
MFT
ii
ordinance,
it
identifies
geographic
areas
right
specifically,
and
so
the
boundary
map
will
need
to
be
expanded.
To
include
areas
not
currently
contained.
Yvaine
is
one.
Q
A
Okay,
I
think
that,
okay,
that
that
makes
sense,
I,
would
and
doesn't
matter
if
it
comes
back
by
the
end
of
this
year
or
if
it
comes
back
sometime
next
year.
I
do
think
taking
councilmember
Roberts
and
up
on
the
offer
to
maybe
look
at
a
greater
expansion
of
it
to
all
zones
that
have
multifamily
or
where
appropriate.
As
councilmember
Stokes
said
I,
there
may
be
some
multifamily
where
it
wouldn't
be.
A
N
M
A
Moved
and
seconded
and
that
it
come
back
on
consent.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
this
is
not
a
land-use
matter,
so
we
can
bring
it
up
on
consent
right.
We
don't
have
to
take
an
action
yeah,
let's
double
check,
but
that
is
definitely
the
preference
of
the
of
the
council.
Any
other
comment
on
the
motion.
Seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed
motion
carries
6-nothing
with
councilmember
robertson,
rep
robinson
excused.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
A
C
Have
two
reports
under
the
city
manager's
report,
which
we
would
normally
cover
in
the
regular
session,
but
given
the
time
that
we
have
available
now,
we
certainly
could
do
them
now,
okay,
and
so,
if,
if
that's
the
wish
that
counts
like
that,
certainly
go
ahead
and
undo
those
now.
So
if
the
first
one
is
on,
we
have
two
of
them.
One
is
on
the
the
neighborhood
walks.
C
If
I
could
ask
the
both
Mike
and
Mark
to
join
us
at
the
table
as
you'll
recall,
we
started
these
neighborhood
walks
during
this
summer
around
three
years
ago,
with
both
the
leadership
team
and
staff,
and
that
was
to
go
out
and
greet
the
community.
This
year,
some
council
members
actually
joined
us
on
on
the
walk
itself.
C
We
had
five
walks
this
year,
five
different
neighborhoods
and
which
were
the
walks
were
conducted
in
June
and
July,
and
we
have
both
Mike
McCormick
councilman,
the
community
development
assistant
director
mark
marcom
and
the
community
engagement
lead
here
to
tell
us
about
those
walks.
What
we
heard
some
great
stories
came
out
of
it
and
there's
some
definite
themes
that
came
out
of
the
neighborhood
walk.
So
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
you
to
walk
the
council
through
and
good
story.
R
Great,
thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyake,
mayor
councilmembers.
It's
really
a
pleasure
to
be
here
tonight.
Summer
is
coming
to
a
close,
and
we
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
share
a
little
bit
about
what
our
experience
the
neighborhood
walks
look
like
over
this
summer.
It
was
a
gorgeous
summer,
but
we
found
the
rain
so,
as
you
know,
in
neighborhood
walks
well
for
tonight.
This
really
is
for
information.
R
Only
we're
not
asking
for
any
action
from
Council
and
neighborhood
walks
really
builds
on
this
very
simple
premise
of
outreach,
which
is
it's
best
to
go
where
people
are
and
so
back
in
2017.
The
city
manager
is
looking
for
a
way
for
city
leadership
to
get
out
into
the
community,
get
out
in
the
neighborhoods,
have
conversations
with
residents
and
find
out
what's
really
on
people's
mind,
and
sometimes
it's
fresh
air
to
leave
the
building
of
City
Hall
and
to
be
able
to
have
a
different
type
of
conversation
with
the
community
and
that's
sprung
summer.
R
It's
about
the
development
that
there's
experiencing
day
to
day
right
as
a
general
theme,
I
want
to
stress
what
we
hear
from
residents.
Is
we
love
living
in
Bellevue
it?
There
is
an
immense
thank
you
from
residents.
I
say
thank
you
for
coming
out.
Thank
you
for
being
accessible.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
us
and
then
they
talk
about
things
that
the
city
is
doing
and
things
that
they're
grateful
for,
and
that
was
again
our
experience
this
year
to
walk
through
the
program
this
year.
S
Mike
well,
I
think
one
of
things
I
would
really
like
to
emphasize
is
that
we
enjoy
doing
these
very
much
as
a
staff.
He
gives
us
opportunity
to
learn.
Get
this
opportunity
to
share,
gives
this
opportunity
to
really
give
residents
an
idea
of
how
can
you
get
some
of
the
things
that
are
very
important
to
you
acted
on,
so
we
emphasize
several
times
during
each
of
the
neighborhood
walks,
my
WL,
so
that
folks
have
a
relationship
with
us,
but
they
have
the
accountability
of
Leadville.
You
have
so.
S
As
Mike
said,
we
started
at
Brad's,
Direction
2017
to
do
summer
chats
and
then
a
resident
really
put
a
fine
point
on
this.
A
resident.
That's
now
going
to
be
part
of
Billy
essentials.
This
fall
and
basically
said
to
us,
said
to
community
development
and
Mac
and
Matt
gave
us
the
mandate
to
follow
with
what
Brad
had
started
to
come
out
and
walk
the
neighborhood,
bring
your
team
and
include
a
member
of
the
community.
S
S
Why
they've
selected
Bellevue
and
why
they've
selected
that
neighborhood,
particularly
so
those
extended
conversations
that
that
really
kind
of
force
us
to
think
further
help
us
to
kind
of
empathize.
You
know
even
further
than
what
we
get
to
do
and
have
conversations
that
we
very
much
relate
to
as
far
as
our
kids
and
our
parents-
and
it's
like
this
is
each
of
those
neighborhoods
is
unique,
but
there
are
unique
folks
within
each
of
the
neighborhoods
as
well.
So
we
get
to
experience
the
neighborhoods
get
to
see
great
flowers.
S
Variety
of
houses
respond
to
specific
issues
on
the
spot
and
kind
of
have
ongoing
ways
that
we
can
can
work
on
those
and
encourage
them
to
work
through
my
bellevue
app
to
be
able
to
hear
emerging
concerns.
So
not
just
something:
that's
a
specific
compliance
issue,
but
something
that
the
neighbors
that
know
very
well
to
start
to
see
some
of
the
trends
and
then
something
with
that.
We
love
is
for
neighbors
to
make
connections
as
well.
S
These
also
informed
from
a
neighborhood
outreach
and
neighborhood
standpoint
how
to
inform
some
of
our
approaches
on
cultural
conversations
and
Bellevue
essentials
and
just
kind
of
the
way
that
we
interact
with
our
residents
and
them
really
teaching
us
how
to
do
our
job
so
the
overview
of
neighborhood
walks
this
year.
We
did
all
evening
walks
last
year.
They
were
pretty
warm,
so
we
decided
to
do
them
in
the
evening.
During
the
week
I
made
shorter
routes.
S
We
kind
of
be
emphasized
that
we
need
to
be
walking,
you
know
and
getting
exercise,
but
we
really
wanted
to
make
these
walks
more
accessible
for
residents.
So
we
try
to
have
flatter
walks.
One
of
the
neighborhoods
actually
put
out
chairs
at
different
spots
so
that
their
residents
could
come
out
to
the
end
of
their
driveway
and
and
wait
for
us.
As
Mike
said
we
had
rain
on
just
about
every
one
of
these
and
a
couple
of
them.
It
was
kind
of
a
dramatic
forecast
and
that
you
know
the
response
was
we're
going
to
go.
S
We
went
to
places
that
had
covering
we
were
anticipating
for
shade
was
actually
to
protect
from
the
rain,
but
in
spite
of
that,
we
averaged
about
19
residents
on
each
of
the
walks.
We
had
long
term
and
two-week
residents,
and
this
year
kind
of
the
theme
was
we
had
more
rain,
more
kids
and
more
dogs,
and
it
was.
S
We
had
a
lot
to
celebrate
some
great
things
to
see
along
the
way
our
first
walk.
We
started
at
Surry
Downs
and
just
hear
the
story
of
that
part,
but
also
also
in
the
story
of
the
school
and
and
the
filbert
trees
and
all
of
that
east
rail.
We
got
to
walk
and
we
actually
got
to
the
point.
The
picture
that
you
see
here.
It
was
the
most
threatening
evening,
but
we
got
to
this
point
and
the
Sun
came
out.
S
We
were
able
to
see
Mount
Rainier
for
a
few
seconds
and
it
was
just
a
great
thing
kind
of
that
kind
of
the
juxtaposition
of
a
neighborhood.
That's
changing
a
lot
of
district,
that's
developing,
but
we
all
see
Melbourne
here
and
well.
We
enjoy
very
much
about
our
area
quickly.
Then
Woodridge
traffic
calming
we
got
to
see
the
East
Gate
neighborhood
enhancement
project
that
had
happened
over
the
last
couple
years
and
has
in
past
years
we
heard
about
very
local
concerns,
some
code,
compliance
issues
that
we
could
pass
on.
S
Some
themes
about
larger
homes,
replacing
smaller
Ramblers
concerns
about
trees
and
even
as
we
walk
that
Surrey
Downs
West
Bellevue
neighborhood,
we
were
able
to
walk
by
some
tree
stumps
that
people
pointed
out
to
us
and
had
some
questions
about.
You
know
what
what
happened
here
and
then
some
responses,
traffic
calming
and
then
local
ideas
for
improvements
as
well
as
we
look
to
the
future.
We
would
very
much
love
to
continue
to
do
these
in
the
future.
S
S
Just
even
the
term
neighborhood
walk
is
limiting
for
a
number
of
people,
but
we
want
people
to
be
able
to
meet
us
at
the
beginning
or
at
the
end
or
at
the
end
of
their
driveway,
so
that
everyone
can
have
a
conversation.
So
again,
we
are
not
asking
or
any
particular
direction,
but
this
is
for
information
appreciate
having
each
of
you
on
walks
this
summer
and
residents
loved
it.
S
R
It
one
final
comment:
one
thing:
I
really
appreciate
is
the
support
from
city
leadership
to
do
something
like
this
there's
something
that
changes
when
the
directors
of
the
departments
are
on
walks
with
residents
and
they're.
Saying
I
have
a
traffic
concern
and
you
say:
well,
let's
talk
to
our
transportation
director
right
or
here's
our
fire
chief
right,
all
of
a
sudden,
the
the
dynamic
between
resident
requests
and
the
leadership
of
the
staff
shrinks
right.
R
What
you
think
is
an
insurmountable
city
in
a
black
box
becomes
people
who
are
listening
and
want
to
hear
local
concerns,
and
so
every
concern
that
was
raised
was
directed
to
the
appropriate
Department
for
response
and
was
responded
to
and
so
we're
following
up
with
everything.
And
if
you
want
and
I
know
you
do
a
complete
digest
of
what
we
heard
from
the
different
neighborhoods.
R
This
report
is
posted
online,
just
go
to
Bellevue,
WA
gov
neighborhood
walks,
and
you
can
see
the
report
there,
but
you
have
a
hard
copy
as
well
and
kind
of
see
what
we
heard
specifically
from
each
neighborhood
area,
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have.
But
that
concludes
our
presentation.
Thank.
M
I
was
just
looking
at
to
be
good
to
read
this
piece.
Looking
at
the
comments,
most
of
them
were
pretty
positive.
There's
some
people
raised
issues
on
this.
One,
like
you
know,
not
enforcing
codes,
or
why
didn't
you
build
a
wall
higher
or
those
kind
of
things,
and
some
of
our
very
pausing
asking
to
do
more?
How
what's
your
follow-up
on
those?
How
does
that
work.
J
How
will
we
really
look
more
broadly
at
those
neighborhoods
that
maybe
don't
have
as
good
of
a
pipeline
for
communication
and
also
the
ones
where
maybe
English
is
not
their
first
language,
and
so
they
may
not
be
as
comfortable
coming
out
to
walk.
You
thought
about
that
as
well
as
renter's
versus
homeowners,
because
I
think
we
also
have
a
lot
more
renters
in
our
community.
S
Right
part
of
it
is
where
we
walk
and
we
try
to
put
out
signs
and
we
do
all
of
the
online
stuff,
but
having
signs
out
so
people
are
aware
of
it
and
we
did
encounter,
particularly
in
the
East
Gate.
We
had
a
couple
of
residents
that
didn't
speak
English.
That
was
just
I
can't
put
any
word
on
except
painful,
because
we
just
you
know,
could
not
communicate
except
trying
to
smile
as
meaningfully
as
possible.
So
so
we've
talked
about
that.
S
S
And
then
areas
where
there's
not
established
clubs
and
that
sort
of
thing
we're
also
learning
about
that
as
well
East
Day
would
again
be
an
example
of
that,
where
they've
not
had
established
associations
and
the,
but
this
was
something
that,
as
they
did,
a
potluck
I
think
it
was
back
in
May
that
we
informed
them.
This
is
coming.
They
had
about
60
folks,
come
out
to
the
library
so
kind
of
taking
forward
what
they
were,
what
they
were
telling
us.
So
so
it's
a
learning
thing
to
try
to
find
folks
and
inform
people.
J
You
so
we're
doing
a
great
job.
These
were
just
some
thoughts.
I
had
one
thing:
I
do
want
to
bring
up,
because
councilmember,
Leah
and
I
were
at
an
event
last
night,
where
the
speaker
was
talking
about
artificial
intelligence
and
actually
what
they
mentioned
was
that
there
are
now
some
devices
where
you
can
speak
one
language
and-
and
it
automatically
translates
to
pretty
good
accuracy,
so
I'm
wondering
if,
if
those
are
actually
commercially
available,
whether
that's
an
opportunity
to
look
into
picking
up
a
couple
of
these
devices
I
know.
S
A
I
I
was
at
Eastgate,
walk
and
I.
Wasn't
aware
that
there's
a
language
problem
from
somebody-
and
you
know
he
sort
of
or
without
going
through
this
technological
device
of
translation.
You
know
which
you,
you
know
probably
don't
have
at
the
time
I
was
there
and
I'm
surprised
that
nobody
pointed
out
to
me
say
hey.
This
is
a
guy
who
may
be
able
to
help
you.
E
I
T
I
S
F
I'm,
a
huge
fan
of
this
program
and
I
really
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
all
the
directors
that
have
embraced
this
program
as
well
and
other
reason
I
love.
This
is
that
just
what
you
pointed
out,
Mike
you're
literally
solving
problems
on
the
walk,
mm-hmm
right.
Here's
an
issue
who
do
I,
talk
to
or
I
did
know
that
resource
was
available
or
how
do
I.
F
You
know
just
all
these
questions
and
all
these
issues
I
could
resolve
right
there
and
the
fact
that
we're
reaching
out
to
the
community
versus
them
feeling
like
they
always
have
to
come
to
City
Hall
I
think
pays
huge
dividends
down.
The
line.
I've
been
a
huge
advocate
of
this
for
some
well
and
I.
Appreciate
city
manager
Miyake
champion
this
program
as
well
yeah,
even
though
it
might
spoil
some
summer
walks.
Sometimes.
F
But
I
think
this
is
just
just
just
so
important
and
I
know
this
program
will
continue
to
evolve,
keep
getting
better,
you
know,
I
mean
a
lot
of
things
that
you've
identified
already
in
terms
of
accessibility
or
language,
etc.
I
know
they'll,
keep
getting
better
and
then
as
well
as
getting
to
those
neighborhoods
that
we
haven't
gotten
to
yet.
But
this
is
this
is
really
important,
especially
when
we've
heard
or
least
I've
heard
so
many
times.
F
You
know,
oh
I,
don't
never
hear
from
the
city
unless
there's
something
wrong,
so
this
I
get
is
this
building
up
really
good
will
and
the
fact
that
the
city
can
do
so
much
and
we
want
to
hear
from
our
from
our
from
our
residents
so
me
what
we
want
to
be
a
partner
in
solving
issues
and
problems,
so
I'm,
just
a
huge
fan
of
this
program
so
keep
up
the
good
work
and
I
look
for
it.
I
was
on
to
this
year
and
I
look
forward
to
walking
in
them
next
year
as
well.
C
Wanted
to
recognize
the
again,
you
know
this.
The
leadership
behind
this,
especially
I,
was
thinking
it's
the
Mack
Mike
and
Mark
the
three
M's
that
really
got
behind
this,
and
as
well
as
the
leadership
team
who
took
their
time
their
personal
time
to
get
out
there
I
think
one
of
the
things
we
really
heard
of.
They
really
appreciated
us
going
to
them.
C
Instead
of
having
to
come
to
City
Hall
and
people
appreciate
their
there
are,
some
may
tell
you
some
were
loaded
for
bear
when
we
got
there,
but
by
the
end
of
it,
actually
they
felt
that
they
were
heard
and
were
satisfied.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
those
few
remarks,
because
the
the
credit
really
goes
to
the
team
here,
something
yeah.
A
I,
this
is
really
a
great
program.
The
the
neighborhood
program
that
that
we
have
is
I
think
you
know
just
completely
top-notch
of
what
people
do
in
the
region.
I
think
I've
got
a
question
at
the
leadership
East
Side
event.
The
other
day
about
you
know
how
you
can
get
more
people
feel
welcome.
How
can
you
know
that
night
I
talked
about
a
couple
of
the
of
the
programs
I
wish
I
had
remembered
to
talk
about
this
one,
because
this
two
is
is
a
great
way.
A
I
am
in
the
process
of
doing
my
last
council
corner
and
the
you
know
and
I
had
had
it
in
my
mind,
I'm
jotting
down
all
of
these
things,
we've
done
over
16
years
projects
and
plans
and
parks,
and
things
like
that
that
you
know
I'm,
very
proud
of
and
then
I
thought
about.
It
said
you
know,
that's
not
really
why
we
do
this
and
so
I've
written
it
I
hope
it
gets
in,
but
written
it
about
really
about
many
of
the
the
public
contacts
that
I've
had
over
the
years
with
people.
A
A
lot
of
that
coming
on
a
campaign
trail
and
and
and
and
or
billing,
but
in
other
ways
as
well
and
I,
think
you
know
those
stories
of
how
we
learn.
What's
important
to
people
is
just
really
important
when
you're
at
their
door
you're
at
their
driveway
when
you're
walking
on
their
Street,
and
they
can
tell
you
what
we
do
as
a
city
that
fulfills
their
life
and
how
we
can
do
that
better.
That's
just
pure
gold
in
terms
of
the
communication
and
so
again
congratulate
you
for
it.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
guys
so
mayor.
We
have
one
other
item
under
the
managers
report
I'd
like
to
bring
forward
if
council
vote
to
that,
and
so
if
I
could
have
Mike
and
his
team
come.
You
know
we're
here
to
really
celebrate
a
milestone,
a
huge
milestone
which
occurred
in
early
September
and
that
is
the
city's,
become
a
hundred
percent
paperless
on
the
submit
on
processing
of
development
permits,
and
this
has
been
a
really
a
multi-year
journey.
That's
really
been
in
terms
of
being
led
by
Mike
Brennan
and
his
department
and
and
moving
this
forward.
C
You
know
I
have
a
number
of
points
I
can
make
here,
but
I
really
want
to
turn
it
over
to
Mike
and
his
his
staff
joining
us
is
Mike
Brennan,
who
you
all
know,
they're
director
of
development
services
and
on
to
his
right
is
Jake.
Kessel
my
serve
with
the
building
review
supervisor
and
to
his
to
Mike's
left
is
Monica
Brown,
the
Business
Support
Technician,
so
I'm
gonna
just
go
ahead
and
turn
all
to
my
again
and
and
break
about
this
program,
because
it's
something
to
brag
about.
Thank.
U
You
CD
Miyazaki
good
evening,
mayor
members
of
the
council.
It
is
really
great
to
be
here
tonight
not
asking
for
something
but
sharing
and
appreciate
the
time
to
do
that.
So,
as
mr.
mee
Acton
mentioned,
we
have
reached
a
major
milestone
in
development
services,
continuous
improvement
and
kind
of
evolution
in
the
delivery
of
the
services
that
we
provide
to
the
community,
both
homeowners,
who
are
improving
their
their
property
and
developers
who
are
helping
us
build
our
downtown
skyscrapers,
effective
on
Friday
September
6.
U
We
have
become
100%
paperless
in
every
permit
that
we
process
in
the
city
that
and
that
comes
from
intake
all
the
way
through
until
we
issue
it,
including
the
middle
of
plans,
payment
of
fees,
review
of
those
documents
and
then
ultimately
issuing
the
documents
at
the
end
of
the
process
for
building
land
use,
utilities
right
away
permits
and
fire
permits.
This
has
been
really
a
multi-year
endeavor
and
really
just
a
little
bit
of
history.
U
To
give
it
a
little
bit
of
context,
I've
really
started
back
over
a
decade
ago,
where
a
small
group
of
us
in
some
Eastside
cities
got
together
and
said.
You
know
we
should
work
to
try
to
align
the
way
we
do
these
services
since
we're
serving
a
lot
of
the
same
customers.
It
happened
over
lunch
and
decided.
U
Maybe
we
should
do
lunch
again
and
you
had
a
few
lunches
together
and
eventually
the
relationships
and
the
collaborations
started
to
grow,
leading
to
really
in
2003
or
the
early
2000s
the
formation
of
the
e
city
governments,
which
was
an
outfall
of
this
regional
collaboration
and
then
the
creation
of
my
building
permit
comm,
which
is
our
regional,
permitting
website.
We
work
together
to
kind
of
get
our
technologies
to
sync
up
and
continue
to
kind
of
find
ways
to
do
our
services
more
effectively
and
more
consistently.
U
We
initially
launched
with
over-the-counter
permits.
Those
are
the
simple
electrical
mechanical
permits
that
don't
require
plans,
but
just
getting
the
technology
back
in
those
days.
All
connect
together
was
a
big
challenge
that
we
that
we
overcame
and
but
it
really
added
convenience
and
simplification
to
our
customers.
Now,
for
we
were
issuing
hundreds
of
permits
now
without
requiring
them
to
come
to
City
Hall
and
wait
in
line
which
was
really
the
old-school
approach
that
continued
to
evolve
is
back
in
the
kind
of
2011
2013.
U
It
changed
the
way
staff
reviewed
plans,
change
way,
permit
processes
manage
documents,
it
dealt
with
all
kinds
of
public
records
management
issues
that
we
had
to
deal
with
so
again
lots
of
a
different
additional
complexity,
but
we
figured
it
out
and
we
started
issuing
some
of
the
less
complex
permits
with
plans
online
back
in
that
point,
but
that
was
kind
of
the
first
endeavor.
The
big
lift
was
really
trying
to
get
all
of
the
rest
of
the
large
complex
projects.
U
V
Evening
Council
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
chance
to
share
a
little
bit
about
our
paperless
journey
with
you
this
evening.
As
you
can
see
from
the
timeline
that
mr.
Brennan
laid
out.
It's
it's
really
been
somewhat
of
a
marathon
race
and
running.
The
last
mile
is
often
the
toughest
on
a
long
journey
like
that.
V
Our
most
recent
paperless
initiative
was
kicked
off
on
the
City
Council
adopted
the
2017
2018
budget
and
within
that
budget
was
set
forth
the
resources
that
allowed
us
to
really
do
this
big
lift.
We
started
our
planning
efforts
in
2017
and
approximately
80%
of
our
applications
at
that
point,
we're
coming
through
the
my
building
permit
comm,
but
we
still
had
20%
that
that
were
coming
through
the
portal,
so
we
really
had
to
ask
ourselves.
Why
was
that
what
was
preventing
that
customers
from
submitting
online?
V
We
fortunately
had
a
five-year
strategic
plan
that
was
developed
in
2015,
known
as
our
development
services
roadmap,
so
we
had
some
guidance
to
look
out
there.
We
also
conducted
a
very
extensive
customer
outreach
survey
in
2016
and
were
able
to
hear
from
our
customers
about
what
was
causing
them
issues,
and
so
we
took
all
that
information
and
we
really
took
a
look
at
it
closely
and
found
that
some
of
our
applicants
were
finding
it
easier
to
submit
in
paper
that
they
could
get
through
our
process
a
little
bit
quicker
with
some
of
their
applications.
V
What
were
those
pain
points
are
those
issues
that
you
see
in
the
process
and
with
that
we
began
to
look
at
new,
innovative
ways
that
we
could
leverage
our
technology
differently
to
make
the
permitting
process
a
little
bit
more
efficient,
and
one
of
the
this
resulted
in
several
permit
process
improvements
and
led
to
a
number
of
efficiencies
and
Monica
is
going
to
share
a
few
of
those
with
you
right
now.
So.
W
Overall,
we
were
able
to
leverage
our
investments
in
technology
to
create
a
more
efficient
permitting
process.
We
simplified
our
permit
intake
by
reducing
the
number
of
steps
it
takes
to
apply
for
a
permit
online.
We
decrease
the
number
of
days
it
takes
before
the
review
process
would
normally
start
and
to
onboard
the
customers
to
our
new
process.
We
offered
how
to
workshops
to
the
public
and
to
our
city
staff.
W
We
installed
some
health
self-help
computers
out
in
the
permit
center,
where
customers
can
come
in
and
be
assisted
with
online
applications
in
some
of
the
environmental
benefits
include
printing
and
storage
cost
being
greatly
reduced.
We
have
started
to
see
space
savings
in
areas
that
were
previously
dedicated
to
filing
cabinets
and
planned
storage.
W
W
U
We
just
wanted
to
spend
just
a
few
minutes
tonight,
sharing
this
with
the
council
and
the
community.
This
is
really
something
that
we're
very
proud
of.
This
was
really
the
result
of
this
regional
collaboration
to
create
a
portal
that
is
a
one-stop
place
where
our
customers
could
go
to
obtain
their
permits.
The
great
work
of
staff,
both
internally
and
with
our
regional
partners,
to
figure
out
the
systems
and
the
technology
connections
and
the
process
improvements.
You
name
it.
U
It
really
was
Herculean
effort
to
get
this
done,
but
we
are
there
and
we
are
now
at
a
hundred
percent
in
a
staff
celebration.
Last
week
you
know
I
said
you
know,
I'm
really
proud,
that
we've
accomplished
a
hundred
percent,
permitting
that's
just
a
tremendous
thing,
but
I'm
even
more
proud
about
how
we
accomplished
it.
It
really
was
regional
collaboration
and
tremendous
amount
of
you
know
know-how
and
commitment
internally
in
the
organization
to
make
this
happen
so
very
proud
of
this
accomplishment.
So
you
wanted
to
share
with
you
this
evening.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
It
is
an
incredible
accomplishment
and
in
a
city
that
is
so
high-tech
we
ought
to
have
a
way,
a
high-tech
way
that
we
can
do
all
of
our
permitting
processes,
and
you
found
a
way
and
I
think
also.
What
you've
done
is
you've
found
ways
to
streamline
the
process,
which
is
also
important.
It
gets
that
that
well,
I'm
gonna
say
it
gets
the
paper
through
the
system,
but
I
guess.
L
A
N
I'm
really
excited
about
this.
I
have
a
couple
questions
though
so
yeah
this
is
gonna,
make
it
so
much
better
for
the
vast
majority
people.
So
I
have
a
question
about
the.
How
we
take
things
electronically,
because
I
know
that
there
are
programs
like
CAD
designs,
that
most
professionals
used
but
I'm
thinking
about
the
person
that's
doing
their
own
permit
without
a
professional.
N
U
V
Was
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
faced
with
some
of
the
you
know:
mom-and-pop
small
businesses
or
homeowners,
who
are
doing
maybe
a
deck
addition,
or
something
like
that?
The
self
help
computers
that
Monica
mentioned
in
the
permit
center,
along
with
that,
comes
the
help
of
the
permit
technicians
to
help
with
may
be
scanning
small
plans.
That's
if
need
be,
okay,
and
we
try
to
discourage
that
of
course
and
offer
those
other
resources
that
maybe
somebody
can
just
do
from
their
home
rather
than
have
to
come
here
to
City
Hall.
N
Thought
that
was
a
small
amount,
but
I'm
glad
that
we
have
a
safety
net
for
them
to
be
able
to
submit
online
without
having
to
buy
a
whole
new
software
system
or
computer
or
whatnot.
So
that's
my
first
question.
The
second
question
is
whether
we
are
seeing
if
people
are
I
haven't
tried
the
online
system,
but
if
people
are
transmitting
say
a
building
permit
online
or
another
land
you
sent
on
my
permit
online,
does
it
allow
them
to
submit
it
if
it's
incomplete?
N
V
N
Hoping
it
would
yeah,
cuz
I
know
one
of
that's
all
cities.
The
first
check
is:
is
it
a
complete
application?
I
was
hoping
that
this
would
have
enough
information
in
the
system
that
people
would
realize
if
they
were
submitting,
something
that
was
incomplete
and
you
would
have
a
higher
percentage
of
applications
that
are
complete
on
first
submission
I.
Don't.
V
Know
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
did
was
we
tried
to
leverage
MVP
my
building,
permit
calm
a
little
bit
differently
and
asking
some
front-end
intake
questions
that
would
determine
things
like
routing
an
application
completeness
that
were
previously
done
by
city
staff.
So
that
was
a
good
example
of
how
we
kind
of
use
the
technology
differently
than
some
of
the
other
surrounding
cities,
and
we've
shared
that
information
with
you
know
our
other
cities
and
MVPs
good.
N
Because
yeah,
the
sooner
people
have
a
complete
application
and
the
sooner
they
respond
to
additional
reviews
or
request
for
additional
information,
the
faster
their
permit
can
be
processed.
So
do
do
we
know,
or
do
we
anticipate
that
by
going
to
everything
online
that
we
will
have
faster
permit
processing
or
is
it
gonna
just
be
the
same,
but
it'll
be
electronic
and
we'll
be
able
to
find
the
documents
faster,
because
they're
gonna
be
all
right
there.
N
U
Absolutely
there
will
be
some
efficiencies
in
the
system,
no
question
about
it,
not
only
for
us,
but
for
our
customers
and
accessing
information
that
they
need,
and
you
know,
uploading
comments
that
come
from
staff.
So
there's
a
lot
of
variables
that
go
into
play
on
what
processing
timelines
are
we
set
fetch
marks
for
each
permit
type
for
first
review
and
then
ultimate
permit
issuance
and
we
managed
to
those
timelines.
So
we
are
in
the
process
of
actually
looking
at
all
of
those
timelines
in
this
new
environment
and
kind
of
reset.
U
Some
of
those
timelines
in
taking
advantage
of
I
think
the
technology
the
benefit
that
that
technology
brings.
So
the
answer,
the
question
is
for
some
permits.
I
think
we
will
actually
see
some
improved
efficiencies
in
the
timelines,
for
others,
maybe
not
as
much,
because
a
lot
of
the
time
is
really
about
the
technical
review
that
goes
on
and
not
so
much
about
the
document
transfers
et
cetera.
N
A
X
U
M
Be
a
good
and
sunny
for
the
other
cities
to
finish
it
up
and
there's
time
right,
yeah
well
in
to
councilmember
Robinsons
Robertsons
question
apparently
does
reduce
the
number
of
front-end
permit
in
state
take
steps
so
that
could
have
some
time
benefits
on
that
yeah.
The
other
one
other
question
I
had
is
I
know
when
developments
coming
forward,
even
smaller
projects
and
big
projects,
people
come
in
and
you
know
talk
to
and
have
a
core
the
Planning
Commission
with
these
huge
piles
of
plans
and
everything
that
eliminates
some
of
that
at
this
stage.
M
U
U
Absolutely
and
there's
yet
more
clarity,
collaboration,
napkin
rings,
yeah,
it's
kind
of
I
guess
a
real,
quick
response.
It
sets
a
whole
new
platform,
yeah
we're
moving
away
from
paper.
We
don't
have
to
manage
these
two
processes
together
anymore,
so
the
next
set
of
innovation,
who
knows
where
we
go
now
I
mean
it
really
does
set
a
whole
new
platform
that
will
help
kind
of
create
the
next
big
lift
that
we
take.
We
got
a
you
know,
there's
still
obviously
continuous
improvement.
J
J
Then
you
can
have
a
GIS
platform
with
where
our
folks
can
be
out
in
the
field
with
iPads,
be
able
to
pull
up
drawings,
take
a
look
at
things
and
that
our
developers
and
residents
that
are
doing
remodels
will
have
real-time
information
about
the
process.
The
progress
of
their
permit
progress,
of
their
inspection
being
able
to
schedule
inspection
I
mean
so
we
really
can
start
looking
at
a
world
where
a
lot
of
those
things
can
happen.
J
So
my
question
is,
as
you
think,
about
the
current
location,
where
it's
mostly
deaths,
where
you
know
it's
set
up,
so
a
set
of
plans
can
be
laid
out
that
are
we
looking
at
potentially
revamping
that
space
so
that
you
can
have
more
large
screens?
They
could
be
touch
screens,
people
can
pull
up
drawings
and
you
can
do
what
you
need
to
do.
So
those
are
things
that
I
think
from
an
innovation
standpoint.
We
need
to
be
looking
at
next
nice.
U
To-Do
list
and
a
lot
of
the
things
that
you
described,
that
online
inspection
status
check
check
the
box.
That's
all
done!
You
can
do
that
now.
As
far
as
looking
at
our
space
and
reconfiguring
it
we've
done
a
lot.
We
have
monitors
that
they
use
now,
but
absolutely
looking
at
you
know
how
do
we
become
even
more
contemporary
in
the
environment
that
we
create
yeah.
J
J
I
appreciate
everything
you're
doing
the
how-to
workshop,
the
self
help
stations
I
mean
that
really
gets
to.
How
do
we
maximize
our
resources
and
be
more
efficient
and
the
more
that
the
folks
that
are
coming
in
understand
up
front
the
less
time
they
waste
having
to
do
rework
which
costs
everybody
money?
So
thank
you
appreciate
it.
Thank
You,
councilmember.
E
I
W
I
I
U
F
F
Have
been
answered
already
just
just
great
job,
and
so
I
think
this
further
bolsters
our
tech
city
reputation
here
in
the
city
of
Bell
V,
which
is
fantastic
I'd
like
to
see
us
get
more
recognition
for
programs.
Just
like
this,
the
fact
that
we
are
doing
that
to
follow
up
on
a
question
from
council
member
lee,
so
obviously
we
understand
the
environmental
impact
and
there's
a
cost
savings
to
the
to
the
developer.
What
about
the
cost
savings
to
the
city
as
well?
U
So
I
think
that
that
one's
a
little
more
challenging
to
quantify
I
think
it
is
changing
the
way
we
do
business
it
moves
costs
around
a
bit.
I
mean
we
still
have
staff
the
technical
staff
that
we
need
to
review
the
documents,
exert
drop,
but
we're
not
handling
the
paper.
So
we're
more
efficient
in
that
you.
C
U
Monitors
and
things
like
that
to
review
the
documents
sure
so
I
think
there's
there
are
definitely
savings.
You
know
when
you
look
at
the
ledger
in
one
or
two
columns,
but
there
are
also
some
shifts
in
costs
that
happen
as
well
end
of
the
day.
You
know
our
costs
are
translated
through
our
fees
in
our
rates
and
our
rates
are
pretty
stable
and
have
been
for
a
long
time,
and
this
is
not
going
to
create
a
rate
balance.
This
is
probably
helping
us
maintain
moderate
rate.
K
U
F
A
Again,
just
superb
work
on
this
and
you
know
it
there
are.
There
are
many
environmental
benefits
to
this,
let
alone
the
you
know
the
amount
of
paper
that
does
not
have
to
be
entered.
There
are
trips
to
City
Hall
that
don't
have
to
happen.
There
is
time,
there's
staff
time
for
us.
Greeting
someone
there
staff
time
for
a
person
from
an
architect's
office
or
a
construction
firm
to
drive
over
here
to
come
in,
to
make
a
meeting.
I
mean
it
just.
A
It
does
so
many
ways
to
be
able
to
reduce
cost
within
the
the
entire
building
permit
thing
and
I
have
found
to
over
the
years
when
I've,
gotten
complaints
and
a
lot
of
times
legitimate
complaints
from
people
who
are
doing
I.
Think
as
councilmember
Robertson
said
it's,
you
know
somebody
who's
doing
a
small
remodel
they've
had
some
plans
drawn
up
for
them.
They've
got
the
plans
they're
submitting,
there's
a
response
back
from
the
plans.
Inspectors
and
I've
found
a
lot
of
times.
A
It
is
the
response
back
to
the
person
where
the
plans
sit
and
sit
and
sit
for
a
number
of
days
before
they
get
fixed
and
and
sent
back
in
and
part
of
that
is,
you
know,
everybody's
busy.
So
if
you
don't
have
to
make
the
trip
to
City
Hall,
you
can
get
the
plans
updated
by
being
able
to
send
them
in.
Hopefully
that
will
cut
down
on
some
of
that
for
the
people
who
are
doing
the
smaller
projects,
so
it'd
be
great
to
track
and
see
whether
that's
happening
so
again.
A
A
Let's
see
we
have
a
proclamation
and
then
we
have
the
presentation
of
an
award
from
the
Puget
Sound
Regional
Council
division
2040
award,
but
first
I
will
do
the
proclamation,
whereas
the
City
of
Bellevue
recognizes
the
needs
for
adequate
nutrition
as
basic
as
a
basic
goal
for
each
resident
and
whereas
no
parent
should
have
to
send
a
child
to
school.
Hungry
no
baby
should
be
without
the
comfort
of
the
of
the
feedings
needed
for
mental
and
physical
growth.
A
No
elderly
persons,
health
should
be
jeopardized
by
lack
of
appropriate
foods
and
whereas
food
banks,
emergency
and
hot
meal
programs
working
with
our
cities,
local
churches,
social
service
agency
and
hundreds
of
volunteers
are
striving
day
in
and
day
out
to
stem
the
rising
tides
of
hunger,
but
still
need
more
help.
And
whereas
we
believe
that
when
our
citizens
who
are
not
involved
here
of
the
desperate
needs
of
the
hungry,
an
outpouring
of
community
assistance
will
follow.
A
I
would
encourage
people
this
Saturday
to,
if
you're
at
your
local
grocery
store
to
pick
up
an
extra
bag
of
groceries
for
this
day
of
concern
and
help
feed
those
in
both
the
Bellevue
community
and
our
broader
community
throughout
the
region.
So
thank
you
we'll
now
move
to
a
PSR,
C
vision,
2040
award
presentation.
Josh!
Do
you
want
to
come
on
down
and
tell
us
tell
us
what
we've
won.
Q
Something
like
that
merit
Almanac
members
of
the
council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
here
this
evening.
I'm
Josh,
Brown
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
Puget
Sound
Regional
Council
I'm,
here
with
Vlad
Noland
CEO
for
imagine,
housing
I'm
here
to
present
a
vision,
2004
tea
war
to
the
city,
to
imagine
housing
and
a
number
of
partners.
Our
vision,
2040
awards
our
way
for
Parc
to
recognize
all
the
great
work
that's
happening
in
the
region
by
our
membership
and
other
partners
to
implement
the
region's
long
rings,
growth,
economic
development
and
transportation
strategies.
Q
We
do
a
lot
of
things
long-term
at
Parc.
In
fact,
I
know
the
city
spent
a
lot
of
time,
thinking
about
how
you
can
provide
feedback
to
our
vision,
2050
plan,
a
plan
for
growth
out
to
2050,
but
the
implementation
on
the
ground,
it's
being
done
by
folks,
like
you
and
and
other
partners.
The
thirty
Bellevue
project
is
an
incredible
new,
affordable,
green
development
close
to
downtown
it's
able
to
home.
Q
Its
is
it'll,
be
a
home
to
63
households,
mostly
families
and
more
than
half
of
whom
are
households
getting
back
on
their
feet
after
experiencing
homelessness.
It's
a
fantastic
example
of
what
we
can
do
together,
so
what
I'd
love
for
you
to
offer
a
few
words
and
share
some
of
your
perspectives
on
this
wonderful
project?
Well,.
B
Really
appreciate
all
of
you
councilmembers.
Thank
you
so
much
for
helping
support
this
project,
and
it
really
touched
me
to
hear
the
proclamation
that
you
just
read,
because
I'm
quite
certain
that
people
in
Bellevue
who
help
support,
feeding
the
homeless
and
hungry
will
be
helping
people
at
30
Bellevue.
We
had
a
board
meeting
earlier
this
evening,
and
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
that
board
meeting
was
that
we
recently
just
received
beds
for
the
last
families
who
were
living
on
the
floor
since
May.
B
Just
this
past
week
and
two
little
children
got
their
first
beds
ever
and
burst
into
tears
when
they
received
those
beds
at
30
Bellevue,
which
is
just
down
the
street
from
here.
So
we
just
want
to
say
thank
you
and
I
would
like
to
really
congratulate
my
team,
Megan
Adams,
who
was
the
project
manager.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
We
can't
do
it
without
all
of
the
great
partners
that
we
have
in
the
community.
Like
imagine
housing
and
we
do
it
with
organizations
like
the
Puget
Sound
Regional
Council
in
planning
for
our
region's
growth.
30
Bellevue
is
just
a
remarkable
project.
It
is
a
beautiful
facility,
but
the
beauty
is
really
on
the
inside,
with
bringing
I
think
against.
It's
63
people,
63
families
inside
providing
them
housing,
and
you
know
the
story
about
the
kids
getting
their
beds.
Is
you
know
just
its
heart?
It's
heartbreaking
and
heartwarming.
A
A
A
Moved
and
seconded
to
approve
the
amended
agenda
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries.
We
are
now
at
communications,
written
and
oral.
You
have
three
minutes
to
speak
on
a
subject
to
the
Bellevue
City
Council.
When
you
come
forward.
Give
us
your
name
and
your
address
is
the
oh
there.
It
is
yes,
it
is
the
light
comes
on,
and
that
means
you.
The
timer
has
started
the
green
light.
A
A
Y
Hi
first,
thank
you
for
giving
me
three
minutes
to
tell
my
story.
My
name
is
Michelle
pace.
You
may
recognize
my
name
because
I
apparently
flooded
your
inboxes
with
one
email,
so
I
apologize,
I
lost
my
housing
in
February
of
this
year
and
before
I
get
into
that
I
want
to
sort
of
before
I
focus
on
my
homeless
journey.
I
want
to
kind
of
talk
about
my
successes
in
life.
I'm
43
years
old
I
have
a
fourteen-year-old
daughter
who
I've
raised
by
myself.
Y
I
called
hope
link
when
I
was
getting
ready
to
lose
my
apartment,
and
they
told
me
that
I
needed
to
at
least
sleep
in
my
car
one
night
before
they
would
put
me
on
a
list
to
qualify
for
housing.
I
can't
I,
can't
even
imagine
putting
my
daughter
in
me
overnight
in
a
car,
and
so
I
spoke
with
someone
today
and
they
said
that's
a
federal
regulation.
Y
So
if
somebody
can
help
me
figure
out
how
to
get
that
changed
like
immediately
I
can't
like
sorry,
I,
have
notes
and
I'm
really
nervous,
I
fainted
in
high
school,
when
I
had
to
give
a
public
speech
so
bear
with
me.
Let's
see
I,
guess
that's
what
my
question
is
is
like.
Is
there
someone
that
has
made
it
through
the
system
from
almost
like
I'm?
What
it
looks
like
before
you
start
sleeping
in
your
car,
like
I,
still
feel
put
together
a
below
up
for
a
job.
I
have
a
good
attitude.
Y
A
A
K
Z
Kyle
our
community
dirty
demo,
Pig
from
Animal
Farm,
a
fascist,
gustaba,
anti-semite
in
killer
principle,
my
name
Alexandra.
No
one
speak
about
agenda
number
five.
What
is
very
unique?
What
is
I
one
speak
for
a
long
time
in
speak
many
times.
It's
about
us
community,
about
everything.
What
is
involved
in
US
government
so
for
30-plus
year,
a
long
time
lives
here.
Yeah
I
cannot
find
one
honest
man
who
work
for
government
and
I
give
you
example
about
what
is
going
on.
K
So
spell
of
you
prosecute
me
twice
with
each
my
class
action,
pure
fabrication
of
case
hundred
prisoners,
punishment,
a
typical
for
guest
up
or
KGB
five
year
ago,
below
you,
police,
evict
me
from
my
apartment
in
Bellevue,
when
my
case
in
appeal
of
court
I,
don't
think
such
happened
before
in
American
history.
They
not
care,
they
have
a
power.
What
is
one
man
like
me,
cannot
do
in
send
like
a
Nazi
or
commie,
KGB
or
Gestapo
is
identical.
It's
not
everything.
K
I
have
for
a
ticket
from
Belleville
who
cost
me
approximately
ten
thousand
dollars
for
this
year.
I
spoke
with
manager
he's
here
for
last
year
about
red
camera,
because
red
camera
is
a
pure
fraud
and
I
know
how
fixes
is
very
easy.
You
know
what
is
mean.
He
never
gave
me
answer
for
three
dozen
time.
I
have
few
dozen
complain
to
City
of
Bellevue
in
to
another
department.
You
know
it
has
been
from
Olympia
to
Bellevue
in
Seattle
I,
never
see
one
positive
world
I
have
eleven
trespasses
from
Seattle
for
1200
day.
K
Only
for
my
opinion,
I
have
trespassed
few
week
ago
from
King
country
I
have
before,
but
right
now
she
Reeve
dimitra's
past
for
one
year,
because
they
don't
have
a
power
doing
something
what
is
doing
Seattle
and
they
won't
be
like
a
Seattle
because
as
a
what
is
I
call
you
a
Nazi
social
democrat
mafia
are
criminal,
a
bunch
of
criminal
in
this
Cove,
worse
and
worse,
right
now,
Seattle
King
country,
he
will
be
state
for
another
few
year,
will
be
a
controller.
One
party
system
is
a
service
fascism.
K
So
a
speak
right
now
to
everybody
who
not
freaking
idiot
because
only
degenerate
idiot,
a
poor
Christina
going
work
right
now
for
us
government.
For
this
we
have
a
fascism,
because
no
smart
people,
when
you
broken
law
inside
and
work
for
government
you
out
in
people
noses
and
everybody
won't
keep
family
money
in
life
I.
Don't
this
not
surprise
me
so
right
now,
I
speak
to
everybody.
We
need
clean
this
dirty
government.
What,
as
we
have
right
now
everywhere
in
state,
are
most
same
west
coast?
State
yes
stand
up
America.
A

Whether
we're
in
an
r3
or
in
our
feet,
five,
we
buy
our
property
because
we
like
the
environment,
we
like
the
foliage,
the
the
trees
and
the
size
of
the
property,
and
then
after
40
years,
someone
has
a
piece
of
property
in
our
neighborhood
and
our
peaceful
quiet,
tree-lined
neighborhood,
who
decides
they
figured
out
after
20
years.
Their
property
is
large
enough
to
divide
it
into
two.
Z
That
means
they
take
all
the
trees
down
all
the
brush
and
bushes,
and
then
they
put
up
little
itty-bitty
trees
because
they
have
to
put
up
so
many
replace
so
many
but
they're.
Never
the
same
I
would
like
Bellevue
to
prevent
this
from
happening.
We
have
had
numerous
occasions
where
they
built
right
up
to
the
minimum
line
they
removed
the
trees
and
we're
left
with
a
devalued
piece
of
property
and
I,
seen
it
at
least
eight
times
in
our
neighborhood.
Z
They
divide
it
their
house
to
house
if
I
wanted
to
live
five
feet
from
my
neighbor's
house,
I'd
go
up
to
Rose
Hill,
where
they've
done
that
they've
chopped
up
their
Lots
put
a
long
driveway
have
three
or
four
houses
coming
off
a
private
road.
I!
Don't
want
that
to
happen
to
us
in
Northeast
Bellevue
and
it's
happening
I,
don't
know
we
bought
our
home,
the
home.
The
property
should
stay
the
same.
The
land
should
stay
the
same
they're
all
on
half
acres.
That
should
work,
don't
change
it
on
us.

Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I'm
pleased
to
have
the
opportunity
to
be
here.
My
name
is
Victor
Parker
I
live
at
8911,
Lake,
Washington,
Boulevard,
Northeast
Medina,
but
the
Bellevue
Medina
City
Line
goes
right
through
our
property,
so
I'm
a
little
bit
both
and
my
neighbor
dr.
Martin
Hanson
is
entirely
in
Bellevue
I'm
here
tonight,
with
much
less
dramatic
appeal
to
you.
We're
asking
you
to
help
us
continue
the
dialogue
to
deal
with
the
failed
storm
drain
line
that
goes
through
dr.
to
Hanson's
property
and
is
flooding
both
of
our
properties
badly.
H
We
have
distributed
a
packet
of
background
detail
which
I
couldn't
possibly
give
you
in
three
minutes,
but
I
hope
we'll
explain
the
problem
and
we'll
do
the
best.
We
can
to
give
you
an
overview
from
30,000
feet.
My
parents
first
bought
the
property
that
we're
living
in
in
1946.
I've
lived
here
most
of
my
life
since
then.
Not
all
of
it.
Bellevue
high
school
class
of
59,
they
sold
the
property
and
were
divorced
in
1963.
H
I
was
out
of
state
in
college
out
of
state
and
graduate
school
worked
in
New
York
for
several
years
came
back
in
1971
and
in
1977
had
a
call
out
of
the
blue
from
the
person
living
in
the
property
who
asked
us.
If
we
would
come
and
look
at
it,
they
were
gonna
sell
it
and
he
thought
we
might
be
interested
again,
which
we
were
so
I've
been
back
on
the
property
since
1977.
During
the
time
my
family
has
been
involved
with
the
property.
H
H
During
the
course
of
those
projects
they
had
to
have
cut
this
storm
line
twice.
They
ran
heavy
equipment
up
both
sides
of
it
and
since
the
second
and
largest
of
those
projects
in
the
middle
80s,
we
have
had
increasingly
serious
groundwater
accumulation
and
flooding
every
winter,
culminating
in
2016
by
such
a
water
accumulation
in
the
Hansen
yard
that
you
couldn't
walk
the
roughly
60
feet
between
the
yards.
Without
going
up
to
your
ankles
and
an
open
stream
I'm.
Sorry
under
under
the
wall
to
our
house

Perkins
cuy
attorney
for
the
Parker
family.
The
the
issue
that
came
up
in
2016
was
a
failure
of
this
drain
system
and
the
city's
direct
you
till
attea
Department
came
by
and
offered
to
fix
it,
but
when
they
came
to
do
the
work
they
required
that
the
Hansons
and
the
Parkers
sign
up-
and
there
has
been
a
running
debate
ever
since
about
who
owns
this
line
and
who's
responsible
to
maintain
it.
X
We
had
a
series
of
negotiations
through
the
through
the
spring
and
actually
beginning
I,
think
in
2017,
but
again
in
the
spring,
where
the
city
was
going
to
do
a
replacement
with
an
8-inch
line
and
they
wanted
to
continue
for
for
the
Hansons
and
the
Parkers
to
own
the
line
we
were
going
to
have
a.
We
tried
to
negotiate
a
deal
where
we
would
have
basically
a
stand,
a
standstill
as
to
who
owned
it
and
who
didn't
but
get
it
fixed,
but
we
were
advised
we
were
going
to
replace
it
with
an
8-inch
line.
X
If
you
think
it
needs
more
go
get
engineering,
we
got
engineering
done
the
engineers
at
Pacific
engineering
said
it
should
be
a
12-inch
line.
The
city
then
said
we're
stopping
negotiations
and
walked
away.
That
was
in
August
they
stopped.
Since
then
we
have
learned
that
in
fact
on
the
city's
own
GIS
mapping,
the
line
this
is

The

it's
unique
because
no
other

in
that
master
plan.
Community
Blake
Hills
has
sidewalks
on
both
sides.
Histories
parking
on
both
sides
of
streets
and
underground

So
it's
very
unique.
The
pictured
I
have
showed
there
shows
this
summer.
T
Families
playing
having
water
blue
fight
in
the
street
I
bring
this
attention
to
your
attention
today,
because
there's
a
development
proposed
at
the
end
of
the
street.
That
would
change
our
neighborhood
it's
following
City
requirements,
but
the
neighborhood
has
supported
a
similar
use
for
over
50
years
and
we're
really
surprised
that,
while
standards
being
standards
that
when
something
works,
we
were
amazed
that
standards
would
change
something
that
is
so
functional
that
has
sustained
neighborhood
and
it's
the
community
for
four
years
for
over
50
years,
and
we
would
do
for
next
50
years.
T
So
our
idea
was
to
bring
attention
to
this
this
issue.
It
probably
will
be
comfort,
acaso,
so
I
don't
want
to
speak
to
the
actual
permit.
At
this
time.
I
do
want
to
bring
attention.
We
still
spoken
with
both
the
project
staff
and
both
the
city
staff
and
they've
done
their
best.
We
we're
really
so
strugging
to
understand
exactly
why
it
is
that
it
has
to
be
this
way.
T
A
You
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
We'd
now
have
your
contact
information
stuff
how's
that
okay
good
is
there,
so
that
was
the
last
person
signed
up.
Is
that
right
last
person
signed
up?
Is
there
anybody
else?
We
still
have
a
little
bit
of
time.
Is
there
anybody
else
who
wanted
to
speak
to
the
council
tonight?
A
Okay,
seeing
none
we
will
move
on
to
our
next
item.
We
do
not
have
any
reports
of
community
councils
boards
or
commissions
we
have
done.
The
report
of
the
city
manager
I
did
want
to
mention
and
forgot
to
mention.
It
is
that
deputy
mayor
Robinson
is
gone
tonight
with
an
excused
absence.
That
brings
us.
We
have
no
council
business
and
new
initiatives
brings
us
to
the
consent,
calendar
and
I
just
wanted
to
highlight.
There
are
a
couple
of
things
on
here
that
I
did
want
to
to
note.
A
C
A
That's
the
Wolverton
park
funding
through
the
our
CEO,
so
with
that
I
would
accept
a
motion
to
approve
second
moved
and
seconded
to
approve
the
consent,
calendar
all
in
favor,
say
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries.
We
do
have
one
land-use
item
and
this
is
a
final
action
on
the
Samba
activity
center
rezone.
That
was
the
subject
of
a
hearing
examiner
report
to
us.
C
Maybe
Merrick
councilmembers
ordinance,
7
4,
7-6
6-4
7-6
is
the
final
action
on
the
same
peak
activity
center,
reasonable
application.
Just
by
way
background.
This
was
brought
to
you
earlier
this
year.
I
believe
it's
on
September
3rd,
where
council
considered
this
process,
3
rezone
at
that
time
gave
direction
to
the
staff
to
bring
this
matter
back
for
final
action
this
evening
joining
us
this
evening
to
walk
you
through.
The
process
is
Nick
Massi.
No,
it's
our
deputy
city
attorney,
Nick,.
L
Didn't
evening
everyone
as
Brad
Miyake,
just
stated
the
next
business.
If
item
is
the
consideration
of
the
rezoning
application
submitted
by
Brian
Guilbert
for
this
Ambika
activity
center?
This
is
a
process.
Three
quasi-judicial
proceeding.
The
hearing
example
examiner
recommends
approval
and
no
appeal
of
the
recommendation
was
filed
at
the
council
September
3rd
regular
session
meeting.
The
land-use
director
presented
a
staff
report
on
this
rezoning
application.
This
matter
is
now
before
the
council
for
decision.
It
is
a
closed
record
proceeding
and
the
council's
decision
must
be
based
on
the
record
before
the
Hearing
Examiner.
L
The
alternatives
before
the
council
are
to
approve
the
application,
as
recommended
by
the
Hearing
Examiner,
to
approve
the
application,
with
additional
modifications
or
conditions
to
remand,
the
application
to
the
Hearing
Examiner
for
an
additional
hearing
limit
two
specific
issues
identified
by
the
council
or
tried
to
deny
the
application
for
convenience
of
the
council.
In
the
event,
the
council
votes
to
approve
the
application,
as
recommended
by
the
Hearing
Examiner
staff,
prepared
a
proposed
ordinance
which
was
included
in
your
packets.
In
the
event,
the
council
makes
a
different
decision.
L
Staff
will
prepare
an
ordinance
following
councils
direction
to
be
presented
at
a
later
meeting,
because
this
is
a
quasi-judicial
matter.
Mayor,
chill
Manik
I
recommend
that
you
give
council
members
an
opportunity
to
disclose,
on
the
record
any
ex
parte
communications
they
may
have
had
with
the
applicant
or
any
other,
supporting
or
opposing
the
application
to
most
efficiently
enable
council
members.
Disclosures
staff
have
searched
all
emails
received
at
Council
at
bellevue,
WA,
gov
and
individual
council
members.
City
email
addresses.
L
Therefore,
council
members
need
to
only
disclose
any
contacts
receive
other
than
through
city
accounts
if
any
ex
parte
communications
are
disclosed.
That
council
members
should
stayed
on
the
record.
The
name
of
the
person
who
contacted
you,
the
date
or
approximate
date
of
the
contact,
the
method
of
the
communication
and
the
substance
of
the
communication,
Thank
You
mayor
anybody.
A
Have
any
ex
parte
contacts
I'm,
seeing
a
lot
of
heads
shaking
no,
so
I'm
going
to
say
that
no
council
members
have
anything
to
report?
Thank
you
is
that
the
conclude,
the
staff
report
that
says
you
okay,
so
we
did
have
this
come
before
us.
I
can't
remember
his
last
week
or
the
week
before.
I
think
it
was
the
week
before.
Is
there
any
discussion
or
any
questions
that
people
have
for
staff?
If
not
council
member
Stokes,
would
you
make
a
motion
on
64
76?
Yes,.
