As

As

musical
chairs
this

So
as
we
move

our

so
people
come
and
go
at
the
table.
As
we
move
forward
city
manager
Mike
you
mentioned,
we
are
seeking
direction
on
the
transportation
impact
fee
schedule
update.
That
will
be
the
last
piece
of
information
we
provide
you
this
evening
and
prior
to
that,
we'll
go
through
the
other
mid
biennium
adjustments.
This
is
as
a
reminder.
D
This
is
at
the
end
of
the
end
of
this
evening
staff
presentations.
We
will
have
presented
the
the
mid
by
mid
by
being
a
mid
by
being
biennium
to
you,
excuse
me,
and
we
will
be
looking
for
a
final
direction
from
you
next
week
as
we
after
the
public
hearing
as
we
head
towards
adoption
on
December
2.
Our
agenda
this
evening
is
to
take
a
quick
run
through
the
calendar
reminder
our
major
adjustments.
D
When
we
talk
about
that,
we'll
also
look
at
the
direction
we've
given
or
you've,
given
us
so
far,
we'll
do
a
police
staffing
update,
we'll
talk
about
the
1%
property
tax
adjustment.
We
have
some
housekeeping
items
in
the
housing
fund
and
the
CIP
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
impact
fees.
Schedule
adjustments,
so
we've
been
here
a
couple
of
times
before
and
the
PowerPoint
has
left,
but
that's
okay,
I'm
going
to
continue
on
I'm
on
slide.
D
Three
we've
been
here
before
on
October
28th
I,
presented
to
you,
the
mid
biennium
calendar
November
4th
the
director
Brennan
was
here
on
November
12th,
chief
Hagen
and
Fire
Marshal
Ken
Carlsen
were
here.
We
also
reviewed
the
general
fund
forecast
and
Katie
Lu
presented
the
substitute
House
bill.
1406
implementation
tonight
we'll
do
a
little
bit
more
detail
in
the
mid
biennium
adjustments
and
then
next
week
again
we'll
be
looking
for
a
final
direction
from
you.
D
After
the
public
hearing,
which
is
also
scheduled
for
next
week,
we
anticipate
bringing
back
a
series
of
ordinances
to
you
on
December
2.
So,
moving
on
to
slide
number
four
I'm
gonna
run
through
kind
of
the
direction
you
provided
us
thus
far
and
I'm
sure
the
power-up
won't
be
up
and
running
in
just
a
minute.
There
we
go.
I
was
just
going
to
keep
going
and
attempt
to
make
her
happen,
and
now
she
doesn't
go
forward,
but
that's
okay.
D
Well,
if
I
was
on
slide,
four
I
would
continue
with
slide
4,
so
I
apologize
slide
for
the
mid
by-name
overview.
We've
been
here
several
times.
We
provided
you
a
chart
where
we've
kind
of
run
through
our
major
areas
and
the
time
frame
of
when
we've
been
there.
Let's
run
through
this
chart
talk
about
the
direction
you've
given
us
this
far
so
development
services
feed
director
Brennan
was
here
on
November
4th.
At
that
time,
council
did
provide
us
with
direction
to
come
back
on,
December,
2nd
with
a
fee
update
and
included.
D
In
that
feat,
update
would
be
six
authorized
positions
to
assist
development
services
in
dealing
with
the
the
current
development
pipeline
substitute
House
bill
1406
was
brought
forward
on
1211
or
last
week.
At
that
time,
you
also
gave
direction
for
staff
to
bring
forward
the
two
pieces
of
legislation
that
are
needed
to
adopt
and
secure
that
funding.
That
is
actually
on
your
consent
calendar
this
evening,
both
the
intent
to
authorize
the
sales
tax
and
the
ordinance
to
collect
the
funding
tonight,
we'll
do
a
little
bit
of
housekeeping
on
the
orc
on
the
arts
portion
Steve.
D
My
LED
is
here
to
talk
about
the
police,
staffing
and
the
two
FTEs
Andrew
single
Lucas
will
be
here
for
transportation
impact
fees.
We'll
spend
some
time
on
the
one
percent
property
tax
that
was
already
included
in
the
adopted
budget
for
the
1920,
and
then
we
also
did
on
November
12th.
We
went
through
a
series
of
technical
adjustments.
D
I
don't
envision,
bringing
those
back
we're
gonna
continue
on
the
clicker
is
not
quite
working
yet,
but
we'll
continue
on
with
the
manual
slides,
we'll
bring
back
those
technical
adjustments
included
in
those
were
several
funds,
as
well
as
adjustments
to
Cola
that
needed
to
occur.
Moving
on
to
slide
number
five.
D
Moving
on
to
slide
number
five
there's
a
series
of
actions
that
will
be
required
to
actually
adopt
the
mid
biennium
and
since
we
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
go
through
that
list
in
a
while
I'll
run
down
through
the
list,
so
that
you're
all
prepared
to
understand
what
would
happen
on
on
December
2.
So
on
slide
5.
It
notes
that
we
will
be
putting
forth
the
2020
development
services
fee
ordinance,
as
well
as
the
2020
fire
inspection
fee
ordinance.
You
will
also
need
to
set
the
property
tax
levy
ordinance.
D
D
D
The
mid
biennium
umbrella
ordinance,
which
has
a
whole
host
of
things
included
in
it.
We
also
set
the
appropriation
by
all
the
funds,
we'll
have
the
pay
plans
for
2020,
we'll
have
a
list
of
donations
that
have
we
have
received
that
are
under
90,000
and
again
we
will
actually
also
include
the
CIP
bigsheets,
which
you
will
see
all
the
projects
on.
You
won't
see
that
come
forward
until
budget
adoption.
If
by
chance
this
evening,
you
also
direct
us
to
bring
back
impact
feast.
D
That
would
also
come
back
on
December
2nd
if
that
direction
is
provided
tonight
from
this
body
to
staff
all
right
before
I
move
on
I
think
we'll
just
wait
for
a
minute
to
get
the
the
PowerPoint
fixed
so
that
when
mr.
my
let
comes
to
the
table,
it's
fixed,
do
you
have
questions
on
where
we've
been
or
where
we're
headed.
A
D

A
A
D
D
B
F
Evening,
mayor
council,
mr.
miyagi,
shortly
after
was
hired,
the
city
manager
and
I
discussed
the
staffing
levels
in
the
police
department,
as
he
wanted
to
ensure
the
department
was
adequately
staffed
to
meet
the
current
and
future
demands
facing
the
city.
During
these
discussions,
mr.
miyagi
expressed
a
sincere
concern
for
the
employees
of
Bellevue,
Police,
Department
and
citizens
of
Bellevue.
He
wanted
to
ensure
the
department
was
adequately
staffed
to
effectively
and
safely
serve
and
protect
the
public.
F
We
discussed
the
future
growth
of
the
city
to
include
the
development
of
the
downtown
corridor
spring
district,
light
rail
and
the
potential
for
the
construction
of
a
permanent
homeless
shelter.
After
considering
the
various
methods
to
determine
the
appropriate
staffing
levels
for
the
BPD
I
suggested
to
the
city
manager
that
we
hire
a
consultant
who
specializes
in
staffing
studies.
So
with
his
permission,
mr.
miyagi
authorized
the
city
of
Bellevue
to
retain
the
professional
services
of
ethical
solutions
to
conduct
a
resource
allocation
study
for
the
Bellevue
Police
Department.
F
The
benefit
of
contracting
with
artico
solutions
is
that
the
resource
allocation
methodology
is
an
industry
best
practice
standard
proven
model.
An
additional
benefit
is
that
with
contracting
with
this
particular
company,
they
leave
their
methodology
behind.
So
we
can
repeat
these
studies
as
often
as
we
want
on
August
16th
of
2019
medical
solution.
Ceo.
Mr.
Timothy
Freese
Meyer
submitted
a
report
outlining
his
findings
of
his
examination
of
the
Bellevue
Police
Department.
The
purpose
of
this
evenings
presentation
is
to
share
with
you
his
staffing
recommendations.
F
As
mr.
Frese
Meyer
started
to
look
at
the
police
department,
he
looked
at
the
following
divisions
or
units.
First,
he
looked
at
patrol
division
investigations,
the
Personnel
Services
unit,
the
property
and
evidence
function
records
and
he
also
looked
at
the
impact
of
future
growth
on
the
police
department,
again
light
rail
spring
district
downtown
corridor
and
a
potential
men's
shelter
to
arrive
at
as
staffing
recommendations.
Mr.
freeze
Maya
used
a
variety
of
methods
to
evaluate
data
when
the
city
manager
and
I
had
the
initial
conversations.
F
I
made
a
commitment
to
him
that,
before
I
brought
any
recommendations
forward,
it
would
be
backed
up
by
data
and
in
the
patrol
division.
Mr.
freeze
Meyer
relied
heavily
on
the
computer-aided
dispatch
system.
Data
and
officer
leaves
times
in
the
remaining
divisions.
Mr.
freeze
Meier
initiated
an
employee
activity
tracked
or
daily
activity
tracker,
wherein
employees
tracked
the
various
activities
they
perform
throughout
their
duty
day.
Additionally,
mr.
freeze
Meier
considered
the
benchmarking
evaluative
method
when
examining
the
staffing
levels
in
the
investigations.
Division.
F
Additional
comprehensive
information
on
the
methods
can
be
located
in
the
study
I'd
like
to
focus
real,
quick
on
the
patrol
division.
The
patrol
division
is
the
easiest
division
to
evaluate,
and
the
reason
is
is
because
everything
a
patrol
officer
does
is
captured
in
the
CAD.
So
from
the
point,
when
a
dispatcher
receives
a
call,
taker
receives
a
call
sends
it
over
to
the
dispatcher
and
they
dispatch
an
officer.
Everything
is
time-stamped
from
the
time
they
get
the
call
to
the
time
they
clear.
F
F
The
officers
need
time
to
engage
in
the
activity,
so
there
are
some
places
in
our
country
where
officers
are
called
driven,
60
minutes
out
of
an
hour
they're
going
from
call
to
call
to
call
to
call
so
the
ability
to
engage
in
quality
time
with
residents
or
anybody
in
the
public
is
very
limited.
So,
ideally,
what
we
look
for
is
to
have
officers
on
30
minutes
out
of
an
hour
on
reactive
time
and
30
minutes
out
of
an
hour
and
proactive
time.
F
It
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
engage
the
public
in
a
manner
that
the
public
deserves.
So
we
call
that
the
30
30
split,
and
so
when
we
were
looking
at
our
patrol
division,
what
Mr
Freeze
Meyer
found
was
that
we
were
at
that
time
a
33
minute
out
of
the
hour
on
reactive
time,
27
minutes
out
of
the
hour
on
proactive
time,
which
is
very,
very
acceptable
for
Bellevue.
F
We
have
sense,
as
we
have
added
bodies
back
to
the
police
department
and
we
arrived
at
zero
vacancies
and
thank
you
for
all
the
support
for
us
for
getting
us
there.
I.
Imagine
that
that
3030
split
is
going
to
be
achieved,
and
maybe
even
then
some.
So
let
me
get
into
the
recommendations
that
mr.
freeze
Meyer
is
making.
Mr.
freeze
Meyer
specifically,
is
recommending
adding
staff
to
the
police
department
in
two
critical
positions,
but
let
me
go
through
the
entire
positions
that
he's
recommending.
Mr.
F
freeze
Meyer
is
recommending
six
position
in
investigations,
but
he's
splitting
the
positions
up
between
three
sworn
and
three
civilian
he's
also
recommending
two
positions
in
the
Personnel
Services
Unit.
He
originally
made
a
recommendation
of
three,
but
we
have
already
transferred
one
person
in
there
while
the
study
was
underway.
So
we
filled
that
position
he's
recommending
one
position
in
the
property
and
evidence
unit.
F
My
recommendations
to
the
city
manager
are
these:
there
are
critical
needs
in
the
property
in
evidence
room
as
well
as
investigations
and
we're
requesting
that
these
positions
fill
be
filled
immediately.
The
property
and
evidence
function
is
almost
at
capacity
storage,
wise.
If
we
don't
add
people
there
we're
going
to
be
forced
to
look
for
an
outside
storage
facility,
which
is
also
going
to
create
additional
funding,
requests
and
other
challenges,
and
then
we're
also
asking
for
one
position
in
Investigations.
F
We
recently
have
seen
a
spike
in
the
referrals
for
in
again
Internet
crimes
against
children
to
our
Investigations
Division.
These
are
the
most
complicated
heart-wrenching
investigations
that
our
officers
will
investigate
and
I
am
asking
for
an
additional
person.
So
we
can
have
additional
bodies
to
investigate
these
crimes
and
not
have
one
officer
of
doing
it.
F
G
H
F
G
G
F
F
The
challenge
for
us
right
now
is
mr.
freeze,
my
recommended
three.
The
the
positions
and
investigations
be
civilian
eyes
and
we're
exploring
what
that
would
look
like
I
also
have
to
bargain
those
is
with
the
unions
and
so
we're
we're
gonna.
Look
as
in
the
coming
months,
we're
gonna
look
at
all
of
the
details
in
the
report
and
also
consult
with
mr.
Frese
Meyers
for
some
additional
information.
F
There's
a
lot
of
administrative
work,
not
a
lot,
but
there's
enough
for
him
to
have
made
the
recommendation
that
perhaps
we
could
take
some
of
the
administrative
work
off
of
our
detectives
and
place
them
with
the
civilian
personnel.
And
but
again
we
have
to
talk
with
the
unions,
about
that
and,
and
the
idea
is
that
taking
those
administrative
duties
will
free
the
detectives
up
to
focus
more
on
the
caseload
and
the
investigation
itself.
Okay,.
G
But
you
the
one
you
want
to
fill
the
one
non-civilian
right
away
for
the
cyber
crimes
against
children.
Will
then
these
original
or
additional
positions
which
I
guess
leaves
still
eight?
Will
these
original
not
original
recommended
positions
then
all
be
subject
to
the
bargaining?
That's
up
coming
in
the
next
couple
years,
no
ma'am!
So.
F
F
G
G
F
G
F
How
many
minutes
out
it's
all
about
the
3030,
it's
all
about
the
3030,
so
in
those
departments
that
have
a
60-minute
reactive
time
period,
there
are
some
departments
that
that
I'm
aware
of
that
had
a
48-hour
queue
before
an
officer
actually
got
to
your
house
to
handle
your
burglary
call
it's
like
48
hours.
So
what's
ours
I'm
sorry,
we.
F
F
G
Great,
my
third
cuz
I
have
three
things.
My
third
is
just
when
we
do
the
budget
again
when
we
do
the
full
budget
next
year.
It
would
be
good
to
have
an
understanding.
Cuz
staffing
staffing
are
often
leads
to
additional
capital
physical
facilities,
so
it'd
be
good
to
have
a
plan
in
place
for
what
capital
facilities,
we're
gonna
need
for
police
as
our
city
grows,
and
to
start
thinking
about
that,
so
not
for
the
mid
buy
but
next
time.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
I
And
there's
both
congratulations
within
36
hours.
Solving
the
issue
above
the
offer
up
individual
who
was
victimizing
residents
here
in
Bellevue
that
thought
they
were
going
to
you
know,
purchase
a
an
iPad
or
laptop
and
I
got
something
completely
different.
So
great
work
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
you
for,
and
the
city
manager
for
doing
this
study
for
looking
at
the
data
before
coming
before
us
today.
I
think
that's
really
important
to
call
that
out
and
and
the
fact
that
we
are,
you
know
delving
into
those
analytics
getting
to
the
property
and
evidence
unit.
F
It's
not
so
there
there's
property
in
there
that
we
have
orders
from
the
court
to
be
able
to
destroy,
and
we
just
don't
have
the
bodies
in
there:
okay,
the
property
out,
okay,
so
adding
this
position.
The
hope
is
that
that
positions
gonna,
not
the
hope
the
position
will
focus
in
on
getting
property
out.
Okay
of
the
evidence
in
freeing
up
space.
I
Okay,
great
and
then
I
was
just
curious.
Cuz
we've
such
a
great
volunteer
unit
with
with
the
police
department.
They
do
so
much
and
so
much
great
work
I
was
wondering.
Are
we
able
to
you
know
instead
of
hiring
someone
completely
dedicated
to
the
property
evidence
unit?
There
are
we
able
to
use
a
volunteer
for
that,
or
is
that
a
little
bit
above
their
their
skills
that
we
need
really
need
someone
there,
22
24
7,
so.
F
Negotiating
that
and
they've
been
very
reasonable,
with
civilian
izing
positions.
Thus
far
we
were
able
to
similarly
civilian
eyes,
three
and
but
I.
Think
at
this
point,
what
the
recommendation
is
in
my
request
of
the
city
manager
is
that
we
had
one
full
time
and
it's
also
when
you
get
somebody
Denton
in
the
property
evidence
room
that
is
dedicated
to
that
position,
and
they,
you
know
repetition
builds
proficiency
that
they
get
really
good
at
it.
F
I
A
J
So
I
want
to
echo
just
how
quickly
we
were
able
to
solve
the
crime
over
the
weekend.
It
seemed
like
by
the
time
we
read
about
something
going
on.
Our
police
had
already
solved
the
the
crime
and
to
me
that
sets
the
tone
for
the
fact
that
you
know
our
our
staff
are
really
dedicated
to
making
sure
that
we
are
keeping
our
community
safe
and
I
really
appreciate.
That.
I
also
appreciate
your
approach,
which
is
just
because
a
staffing
study
said
that
we
can
get
or
that
it
might
indicate
that
we
should
get.
J
You
know
nine,
ten,
more
people
that
you're
giving
that
some
really
deliberative
thought
about,
whether
we
really
do
need
those
folks
right
away
or
if
there
are
other
ways
to
still
get
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
community.
So
I
really
appreciate
that.
I
think
that
as
we
head
to
the
2024
and
and
our
revenues
and
expenses
crossing
that
that
approach
of
really
being
thoughtful
will
be
really
really
important.
J
So
I
appreciate
that
I
did
have
a
couple
of
comments
and
one
is
while
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
any
more
vacancies
and
we're
full
I
recognize
that
there
is
always
going
to
be
this
continual
retirements
and
whatnot,
and
so
we
certainly
don't
want
to
sit
back
because
we
will
always
want
to
be.
You
know
a
bit
of
a
recruiting
mode
so
that
we
can
plan
for
the
retirements
without
having
the
gap
in
service.
J
You
and
I
chatted
a
little
bit
the
motorcycle
unit
and
and
how
that
unit
was
shrunk
because
they
were
needed
in
other
places
so
and
then
how
difficult
it
is
to
to
bring
that
unit
back.
What
I
think
about
is,
as
we
continue
to
see
the
growth
and
traffic
congestion.
What
are
some
things
we
can
do
to
maybe
have
some
satellite
places
where
our
police
officers
can
be.
J
So,
if
something
happens,
they
can
be
more
reactive,
I
can
only
imagine
them
trying
to
hit
the
30
30
or
when
it
may
be
really
hard
to
get
across
town
during
rush
hour.
So
we
might
want
to
think
about
what
are
some
additional
facilities
and
in
some
strategic
places,
but
we
might
want
to
be,
and
then
I
appreciate
this
to
villainizing
some
of
the
positions
we
did
that
earlier
as
well.
Right
in
in
the.
A
K
J
As
well
and
then
I
am
completely
on
board
about
hiring
someone
to
work
on
the
Internet
crimes
against
children.
I
mean
it's
bad,
no
matter
what
age
you
are,
but
the
fact
that
there
are
crimes
against
children
is
really
just
heartbreaking,
so
the
sooner
we
can
bring
that
investigator
on.
So
we
can
really
work
on
that
the
better.
Thank
you.
J
L
The
City
of
Bellevue
is
the
best
and
our
Police
Department
it's
the
best
of
Bellevue
like
and
I
appreciate
you
coming.
You
know,
you're
looking
at
how
to
improve,
make
the
department
even
better
to
face
all
the
challenges
we're
facing.
You
know
you
and
though
the
police
is
the
best
we
have,
we
still
come
room
to
improve
and
I
think
you
have
very
much
impressed
me.
L
You
know
first
day,
you
know
at
least
it's
a
close
third
when
you
first
got
employees
talking
to
Brad
or
you
want
to
do
studies
and
make
sure
that
we
have
something
that
we
can
get
I
remember.
You
know
when
I
first
became
council
members
20
odd
years
ago.
We
have
a
police
chief,
you
know
that's
what
CEO
for
police
chief
before
you,
but
it's
chief
Smith
he's
talking
about
a
community
policing
and
somebody
saw
the
signs
he
said
well
at
that
time.
L
You
know
down
further
20
years
from
now
where
we
will
have
community
policing,
but
25
years
later
we
still
pretty
much
the
same.
However,
you
have
kind
of
morph
into
it.
It's
not
meaning
that
when
you
are
doing
something
doesn't
mean
that
you
completely
change.
That
means
you
get
into
the
spirit
how
to
make
things
work
more
relevant
to
the
community
today.
You
know
because
things
change,
so
your
community
policing
is
basically
civilized
civilian
into
may
more
appropriate
robes
more
effectively.
More
appropriately.
L
Making
people
who
are
a
fit
or
who
are
not
fit
doesn't
mean
that
who
have
the
the
mode
interest
and
the
character
to
do
the
best
they
do
do
what
that
the
best
they
are.
You
know,
I,
think
that's
the
way
things
are,
you
sure
so.
I
commend
you
for
I.
Think
this
happening,
and
but
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
just
to
clarify
for
me:
you
are
you
looking
for
10
positions,
initially
one
field
and
now
you're,
looking
for
nine,
so
you're
thinking
about
out
of
the
nine.
L
Maybe
you
can
make
it
one
more
civilian
right,
three,
three
more,
but
three
is
all
three
of
the
10
three
of
the
nine.
Yes,
we
often
I,
oh
okay,
okay,
yes,
so
to
quote
the
question
I
have
is
that
is
this
recommendation
made
before
you
hire
your
staff,
full
staff,
because
you,
you
were
having
lots
of
agencies
and
now
again
big
base
on
what
you
have
done.
L
F
Focus
on
Patrol
were
the
number
of
FTEs
that
we
need
in
order
to
achieve
that
3030
split,
and
so,
as
we
have
added
staff
back
right,
we
have
gotten.
We
have
actually
gotten
closer
and
closer
to
the
30.
30
split,
we're
not
gonna,
know
the
full
impact
of
it
until
all
of
our
newly
hired
officers
are
out
of
training
off
the
FTO
program
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
to
councilmember.
F
Robertson
is
the
impact
of
the
PSO
that
you
all
authorized
in
the
last
budget,
and
so
this
was
like
in
mid-flight
our
hiring
push
and
I
think
we'll
see
the
end
result
and
that's
one
of
the
reason
I'm
recommending
to
the
city
manager
that
we
have
two
critical
needs
right
now
and
then
we're
gonna
evaluate
things
as
we
move
forward.
So
it.
L
M
Appreciation
for
not
only
what
you've
been
talking
about,
but
the
way
you
presented
on
this
was
a
excellent
memo
right
to
the
point,
I
think
it's
very
clear
where
you're
going
on
this
and
that
always
helps
us
I
mean
it's
your
job
to
figure
out
and
to
get
recommendations,
and
you
have
professionals
coming
in
helping
and
I
think
it.
It
all
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
again
we
all
think
that
it's
a
great
department
and
you're
doing
a
lot
to
increase
that
and
I
I
think
it's.
M
You
know
the
questions
answered.
It
sounds
like
you're
making
from
our
layman's
standpoint,
good
choices
and
where
you
want
to
put
people,
that's
all
based
on
what
you
know
what
you're
working
on
and
so
I
trust
your
guidance
on
that
and
I
think
I'm
ready
to
move
forward
with
it.
I
think
it's
good.
Thank.
F
A
A
F
I
forget
that
you're
not
gonna,
be
here
much
longer
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
personally,
sir,
for
all
the
support,
the
EBA
me
personally
and
the
entire
council
for
the
support
that
you've.
Given
the
men
and
women
in
the
police
department
and
the
entire
city
operation,
it
doesn't
go
unnoticed.
Thank
you
very
much.
Well,.
A
That
it's
I
find
it
interesting
I'm,
unfortunately,
a
Twitter
holic,
so
I'm
honored
a
lot
and
whenever
we
have
a
new
hire
and
the
picture
goes
out,
you
are
always
seeing
a
couple
of
responses
from
City
Council
members
I
at
least
liking
it.
If
not
saying
welcome
to
the
team
to
the
officer
and
and
I
hope,
I
hope
that
that
makes
people
in
the
department
feel
good
about
the
fact
that
the
elected
leadership
of
the
city
supports
them
is
really
truly.
F
Under
they
do
they
value
it
and
I'm,
not
saying
because
I'm
sitting
here
and
they
truly
do,
they
recognize
the
support
that
you
all
give,
and
it
is
greatly
appreciated,
as
is
the
leadership
of
the
city
manager,
it
makes
it
makes
a
huge
difference
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
attracts
people
to
work
in
the
Bellevue
Police
Department
is
the
support
that
we
get
here,
mm-hmm
that
maybe
some
communities
don't
experience
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
Oh.
A
D
Think
I
can
hit
these
next
couple
of
slides
pretty
quickly
as
we
can
move
into
impact
fees
so
included
in
the
mid
biennium
mayor
and
council
members
is
the
property
tax
adjustment
that
was
included
in
the
adopted
budget.
So
this
is
implementing
your
previous
direction
and
just
so
that
everybody
kind
of
has
the
data
points.
A
1%
adjustment
equals
$8
for
a
medium-price
home
about
936
thousand
dollars.
D
It
generates
a
little
less
than
six
hundred
thousand
dollars,
four
hundred
and
fifty
of
which
goes
to
the
general
fund
and
the
remainder
of
one
hundred
and
forty
four
it
looks
like
goes
to
the
CIP
for
the
fire
safety
levy
and
the
neighborhood
connectivity
and
congestion
living.
You
can
see
on
this
chart
that
the
actual
property
tax
rate
is
estimated
to
go
down.
I
will
let
you
know
that
these
are
2020
estimates
from
King
County.
D
If
you're,
increasing
it
by
1%
is
that
the
whole
pie
know
the
piece
that
the
city
ability
you
can
impact
and
that
council
can
impact.
Is
that
11%
piece
the
rest
of
it?
As
you
well
know,
the
other
89
percent
goes
to
a
variety
of
places
across
the
the
area.
The
last
housekeeping
item
I
have
for
you
this
evening
before
I
turn
it
over
to
director
single
office
and
his
team
is.
The
housing
fund
has
a
little
bit
of
housekeeping
work.
D
We
need
to
take
care
of,
will
n
be
increase
in
that
appropriation
for
the
arch
portion
of
2f
tes.
That
you
heard
about
on
ten
on
October
21st
and
then,
of
course,
will
also
be
increasing
appropriation
for
a
substitute
of
House
bill
1406
and
if
you
have
no
questions
or
if
you
have
questions
on
this
area,
I'm
happy
to
take
them.
Otherwise
we
can
move
on
and.
A
D
Table
and
I'll
introduce
in
just
a
minute.
We
have
a
little
bit
of
housekeeping
adjustment
still
in
the
CIP
that
I
need
to
bring
to
your
attention.
We
actually
have
only
three
projects
that
are
being
adjusted
fully
in
the
CIP.
The
rest
of
the
projects
have
no
changes
and
all
three
of
those
projects
are
changing
purely
because
we
have
received
project
specific
revenues
for
them.
So
in
2020
you
will
actually
an
appropriation
adjustment
for
the
bill,
red
parks
and
streams.
We
did
have
a
developer
contribution
of
two
hundred
and
fifty
two
thousand
dollars
now.
D
The
other
two
projects
that
are
being
changed
are
actually
in
the
outer
years
of
the
CIP,
so
they
won't
be
part
of
your
appropriation
adjustment.
You
might
you
will
see
them
in
the
outer
years
of
the
CIP,
which
is
a
grant
for
148
for
pavement
preservation
from
South,
East
37th
to
southeast
8th
and
then
we'll
also
have
the
second
phase
of
mountain
to
sound
Greenway,
which
mr.
Kasich
briefed
you
on
back
when
he
was
here,
I
believe
on
October,
7th
and
with
that
I
would
like
to
turn
the
clicker
over
to
director
single
office.
N
Thank
you
Tony
mr.
miyagi,
mayor
and
council,
and
the
issue
of
the
impact
fees
came
up
when
we
were
talking
about
the
transportation
facilities
plan
back
in
June,
and
the
issue
is
the
Institute
of
Transportation
engineers
manual
with
the
trip
generation
rates
has
been
changing
in
order
to
maintain
a
complete
and
whole
CIP.
The
impact
fee
rates
are
going
to
have
to
be
increased
to
keep
these
type
II
whole,
and
that
really
is
our
objective
in
this
and
with
Eric
Miller
he's
the
employee,
Taoiseach
manager
for
the
transportation
department
and
we'll
walk
through
a
presentation.
O
Thank
you,
Andrew
Thank,
You
mayor
council
before
I
start
I'd
like
to
just
recognize
our
transportation
development
review
manager
behind
us
over
here,
Molly
Johnson
she's.
You
know
the
chief
mentioned
data
and
she's
been
very
helpful
with
the
data
that
comes
out
of
the
ite
Institute
of
Transportation
in
your
engineer's
manual,
which
is
really
forms
the
basis
for
what
we
include
in
our
transportation
impact
fees
schedule
it
jumping
in
this
this
graphic
the
council
seen
many
times
really
quickly.
O
On
the
on
the
left
hand,
side,
the
boxes
represent
the
transportation,
planning
and
capital
funding
process
on
the
top
are
the
vision
of
our
comprehensive
plan
down
through
project
implementation
on
the
bottom,
with
the
transportation
facilities
plan
right
in
the
middle?
That's
our
12
year
revenue
constrained
planning
document
and
forms
the
basis
for
our
transportation
impact
fee
program.
The
capacity
project,
roadway,
intersection
capacity
projects
that
have
full
implementation
dollars
designated
in
that
TFP
form
our
impact.
The
project
list.
What's
a
subset
of
that
that
plan
from
that
we
developed
the
fee
schedule.
O
O
O
The
three
completed
projects
I
mentioned
include
the
Northeast
fourth
extension
and
the
two
stages
of
120th
avenue,
northwest
eighth
up
two
up
through
that
through
where
the
crossing
of
East
Link
occurs
as
well.
Excuse
me
a
little
bit
of
background.
The
last
time
we
did
this
review
of
our
impact
fee
program
was
after
the
20th
in
the
in
2015
after
we
adopted
the
previous
2016
to
2020
seven
TFP.
O
At
that
time,
our
maximum
allowable
impact
fee
rate
was
calculated
at
seven
thousand
nine
hundred
ninety
two
dollars
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how
that's
calculated,
but
at
that
time
council
set
the
the
fee
to
be
charged
at
47.
Oh
three,
which
just
happened
to
be
fifty
eight
point,
eight
percent
of
what
it
could
have
been
the
seven
thousand
nine
ninety-two
council
at
that
time
also
established
an
automatic
annual
three
percent
indexing
to
kind
of
provide
predictability
to
the
to
the
annual
increases
to
the
fee
program.
O
O
A
study,
for
example,
of
a
traffic
study
that
they're
used
their
mix
of
development
would
provide
a
lower
trip
generation
than
our
adopted
fee
schedule,
and
that's
something
that
the
code
requires,
that
we
review
and
and
if
it's,
if
there
is,
that
reasonable
reasonable
basis
will
we
can
provide
that
lower
fee
jumping
forward
to
today
2019,
we
see
a
much
higher
maximum
allowable
impact
fee
rate
bottom
line
there,
seventeen
over
seventeen
thousand
dollars
per
trip,
and
that's
that's
based
on
four
key
things.
The
new
ite
trip
generation
rates
are
generally
lower.
O
O
O
O
The
so
the
percentages
in
the
second
line
there
show
what
in
2015-2019,
where
the
city
grows
sheriff
in
2019
just
under
sixty
percent,
and
we
take
that
percentage
of
the
total
dollars
that
we
mentioned
above
and
divide
that
by
these
new
trip
ends
and
that
that's
a
product
of
our
transportation,
modeling
exercise
and
inclusion
of
the
trip
generation
rates.
That's
why
that's
a
large
reason
why
you
see
such
the
drop
from
17,
606
and
2015
to
to
13,000,
667
and
2019,
and
you
simply
do
that
division.
O
It
gives
you
that
maximum
allowable
rate
and
that
council
can
choose
to
charge
any
amount
up
to
those
rates
and
Bellevue
we've
never
come
close
to
charging
what
we
we've
been
eligible
to
charge.
So
our
analysis
of
the
of
the
whole
impact
fee
program
this
time
around
and
in
definitely
focusing
on
the
the
new
ite
trip
generation
manual
that
came
out
at
the
end
of
2017
we're
seeing
on
average
of
the
growth
that's
projected
in
Bellevue
and
that's
primarily
office
is
the
number
one
component
of
that.
O
But
it
includes
multifamily
retail
light
industrial,
which
actually
is
reducing
in
that
in
the
plan
period.
Lodging
we're
seeing
an
average
of
23%
lower
trip
generation
again
office
being
that
the
kind
of
the
heaviest
weighted
component
of
that,
of
course,
some
are
higher,
they're
lower
being
an
average.
Some
uses
are
higher
lower
than
that
that
that
really
comes
to
the
the
gist
of
what
our
recommendation
is
related
to
the
fee
schedule.
O
If
there
is
no
corresponding
adjustment
to
that
rate
schedule,
the
revenue
collected
from
new
development
will
shrink
as
a
proportion
of
gross
share
costs
that
has
CIP
implications,
applying
that
23%
reduction.
We
see
that
it
would
be
about
a
million
dollar
reduction
per
year
or
six
million
dollars
of
projected
over
the
the
last
six
years
of
our
adopted
CIP,
which
could
require
CIP
amendment
to
reduce
the
spending
cut
projects,
for
example.
O
The
next
few
slides
are
are
some
looks
at
various
development
types.
Single-Family
is
not
a
big
growth
factor
in
Bellevue
anymore.
We
see
10-12
units
a
year
of
new
construction.
Of
course
a
replacement
house
does
not
have
to
pay
a
fee.
It's
really
for
a
new
construction,
but
single-family
provides
a
good
kind
of
barometer
for
what
an
impact
fee
is
in
Bellevue
versus
other
places.
One
one
single
family
unit
translates
to
one
trip,
so
they
pay
the
the
base
fee.
O
So
today
in
2019,
Bellevue's
fees,
five
thousand
one
hundred
thirty
nine
dollars
I'm
able
to
inflate
by
a
hundred
dollars
and
change
with
the
three
percent
in
2020,
but
we
are
proposing
a
six
thousand
eight
$54.
You
see
the
next
blue
line
and
still
well
under
our
maximum
allowable
number
on
the
far
right
blue
line,
and
just
you
can
see
some
of
our
some
of
our
East
Side
South
South,
King,
County
neighbors
up
that
we're
comparing
ourselves
to
off
the
space
in
Bellevue.
This
is
an
example
of
three
hundred
thousand
square
foot
office.
O
We've
got
a
downtown
location,
the
Bel
red
or
Tod
transitoria
development,
location
and
the
rest
of
the
city.
The
gray
bar
on
the
left
is
really
what
our
adopted
fee
schedule.
I
mean
point
out
really
quickly
to
that.
In
the
previous
slide,
they
were
thousands.
These
are
actually
in
thousands
as
well,
but
the
the
first
gray
bar,
for
example,
is
one
million
eight
hundred
and
twenty
one
thousand
so
not
to
be
deceived.
O
It's
so
the
gray
bar
again
is
our
adopted
fee
schedule
with
no
change
when
we
are
already
implementing
our
development
that
comes
in
because
of
the
the
documentation.
The
data
that's
out
there
to
use
what's
in
the
ite
manual,
so
you
can
see
about
a
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
drop
in
revenue
from
a
three
hundred
thousand
square-foot
development.
Our
proposal
would
raise
the
downtown
example
too
close
to
what
it
is
not
exactly
and
again
the
red
bars
through
that
throughout
these
next
couple,
slides
show
what
the
maximum
allowable
fee
would
be.
O
You
see
in
the
Tod
or
bel
red
example.
You
see
that
the
new
fee,
the
proposed
fee,
would
result
in
something
smaller
than
we're
collecting
today,
but
we
think
that's
reasonable,
because
the
trip
generation
is
is,
is
going
to
be
lower
and
significantly
lower
than
its
currently
calculated
out
there
with
the
coming
of
the
light
rail
and
that
in
the
density
that's
going
to
be
constructed
in
Bella,
it
is
being
constructed
in
Belle.
Reve
multifamily
is
the
next
example
same
concept
here
these
are.
These
are
in
two
hundred
and
seventeen
thousand.
O
As
that,
first
bar,
we
we've
made
somewhat
of
a
last-minute
change
to
include
you,
see
high-rise,
10,
plus
stories
or
downtown
Tod
mid
rise
in
this
in
this
lower
trip
generation
rate-
and
this
is
one
low
one
area-
I-
would
say
out
of
our
whole
fee
schedule
where
we're
veering
off
a
little
bit
from
from
what
the
data
shows,
but
it
just
makes
common
sense
that
if
you're,
you
know,
you
can
look
across
the
street
from
City
Hall.
So
you
had
10,
plus
story
building
and
a
five
story
building.
O
O
You
across
the
board
they've
been
very
pleased
that
we
have
conducted
the
outreach
and
say,
generally,
they
speak
to
understanding
the
the
wats
and
wise
to
what
we're
doing
here.
I
think
they've
been
again
appreciative
that
we've
conducted
the
outreach
and
that
understanding
of
what
we're
proposing
is
there
and
really
to
wrap
up
we're
we're
asking
Council
to
to
recommending
to
council
that
we
do
make
this
change
in
2020
from
with
the
3%
increase.
A
Okay,
so
we
have
about
then
there's
really.
This
is
the
last
of
the
major
presentations
right,
so
we've
got
twenty
five
minutes.
That
means
four
minutes
per
councilmembers
since
they're
on
subpoenas
here,
I'm
gonna
begin
with
council
member
lee
in
deference
to
him
being
transportation
liaison,
then
I'm
gonna
go
in
reverse
order
of
what
we
did
on
holdings,
so
that
would
be
councilmember
stokes,
council
members
on
councilmember
knew
and
house
councilmember
robertson,
and
then
myself.
I.
P
L
O
Every
trip
has
two
ends
yeah
and
so
for
these
purposes,
if
we
are
counting
the
trip
from
a
new
office
building
in
Bellevue
downtown,
for
example,
that's
one
trip
in
if
that
trip
happens,
to
go
to
a
new
multi-family
dwelling
in
in
Ballarat
or
also
in
Bellevue.
We
count
that
as
two
trip
ends
in
Bellevue,
if
it
goes
outside
of
Bellevue
we're
only
counting
the
one
that
starts
in
Bellevue.
Does
that
make
sense?
So
it's
just.
L
You
know
discretionary
factors
you
factored
into
it
make
the
looking
at
the
numbers
looks
reasonable
compared
to
other
cities
and
increases,
and
so
it's
pretty
I
would
say
reasonable
judgment
that
you
made
and
I
think
that
to
me
it's
not
a
big
major
shift
from
what
we
have
been
and
I.
Think
given
the
public
are
we
chip
made,
we
haven't
heard
anything
from
anybody
right
violently
disagree.
One
thing
well
and
violent
yeah
I
would.
O
M
A
M
And
logical
to
that's
always
nice
to
have
that
aspect
to
it
and
just
listening.
This
is
fascinating.
To
try
to
you
know,
wrap
your
head
around.
Why?
Because
you
get
a
lot
of
the
impressions
for
the
general
public
that
all
this
growth
is
is
causing
more
impact
and
more
trips,
and
you
know
there
are
more
cars
going
places
and
more
cars
downtown
and
all
so.
M
O
I
think
number
one
it's
the
development
of
Bellevue,
which
is
a
very
well
planned
that
we
have
worked
hard
to
increase
the
transit
ridership.
Of
course,
the
more
multifamily
units
you
see
in
these
dense
urban
environments
like
downtown
Bellevue
and,
more
so
in
Bell,
read
more
folks
are
going
to
use
other
modes
besides
hopping
in
their
car
they're
gonna,
walk,
they're,
gonna,
they're
gonna,
ride
their
bike
and
definitely
the
the
buses
and
the
trains
that
are
coming.
O
M
J
I
really
appreciate
all
of
this
work
and
being
proactive.
I
think
the
fact
that
we
have
three
projects
well,
we've
got
some
revenue
coming
in
is
good,
because
you
know
anything
we
can
do
to
keep
our
costs
down
is
always
positive.
So
what
I
see
is
that
the
IT
has
chipped
trip.
Generation
calculation
has
shifted
and
that's
what
caused
us
to
redo
our
own
calculations
is
that
right.
That's.
O
J
I
just
want
to
confirm
so,
along
with
making
the
adjustments
for
the
revenue
coming
in
for
the
three
projects
and
the
I
TS
trip
generation.
The
construction
costs
escalation,
because
this
will
be
2020
to
2025,
with
the
three
percent
adjustment.
Is
that
right,
what
what
I
mean
is
once
we
set
the
rate
it
is
going
to
be
here
for
the
next
X
number
of
years
with
that
step
rise
adjustment.
Is
that
correct?
If.
O
J
And
then,
when
I
look
at
the
trip
generation,
calculation
and
the
rates
I
like
the
fact
that
it's
lower
in
the
Tod
and
the
downtown
one
of
the
things
I
think
we've
nibbled
around
the
edges
is
whether
we
would
actually
look
at
a
development
with
no
parking
and
if
there
was
so
if
they
were
to
do
a
study
that
shows
that
they
wouldn't
be
all
cars
and
parking
and
the
what
am
I
trying
to
say.
Well,
we
still
be
somewhat
conservative
in
our
calculation
of
the
feed.
J
O
Would
say
it
could
be
yeah,
we
that's
something
we
need
to
stay
on
top
of
you
know
as
the
development
styles
change,
I
mean
right
now,
I
believe
and
I'm,
not
the
the
code
expert
on
the
parking,
maximums
and
minimums.
But
you
know
we
still
have
a
minimum,
so
they're
gonna
provide
some
parking
but
yeah
the
lower.
That
number
gets
the
the
better
I
think
case
somebody
would
have
and
their
proximity
to
to
the
serve
transit
services
and
other
mobility
options.
Well,.
J
And
I'm
bringing
up
because
we're
we're
hoping
to
have
more
affordable
housing
units
and
reducing
the
number
of
parking
stalls
will
make
the
unit's
more
affordable,
especially
if
it's
right
close
to
transit.
So
okay,
but
what
I
hear
you
saying
is:
there's
always
an
opportunity
for
us
to
revisit
this.
If,
if
a
couple
years
from
now,
we
find
that
we
actually
are
making
some
changes
on
affordable
housing
and
whatnot
yeah.
O
We
we
come
back
with
this.
Do
this
review
every
every
two
to
four
years
with
the
update
of
our
of
our
transportation
facilities
plans,
so
we're
always
going
to
take
a
look
at
it
or
when
there's
a
new
IT
trip
generation
manual
issued,
will
and.
J
I
House
even
more
for
the
great
outreach
you
did
with
the
building
chamber,
the
PDA,
the
business
community,
the
developer
community,
so
really
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
do
that.
That's
that's
important
and
it's
great
to
see
that
being
done
and
thank
you
also
for
taking
a
very,
maybe
measured
approach
to
the
increase
as
well.
Certainly
as
you've
made
the
case
here,
it
could
have
been
more
so
appreciate,
appreciate
that
so
I,
you
know,
I
do
think
it's
a
reasonable
adjustment
and
I
do
think
it.
I
You
know,
furthers
our
goals
in
a
number
of
different
ways,
one
of
them
being
the
the
transit
oriented
development
and
the
workforce,
affordable,
housing,
etc.
Although
one
question-
and
this
actually
came
in
through
an
email
from
our
former
councilmember
used
to
sit
in
this
chair,
he
which
was
interesting-
he
said
that
he
wasn't
sure,
but
the
definition
of
Tod
is
not
clear.
What
makes
something
a
Tod
or
not
when
it
comes
to
impact
fees.
So
could
you
further
define
that
when
that
kicks
in
and
when
it
doesn't
yeah.
I
O
Of
the
code
okay,
but
we
thanks
to
the
email
to
giving
that
to
that,
we
we
did
look
up
and
talk
to
the
folks
in
our
land,
use
and
Community
Development
departments
and
found
a
definition
in
the
glossary
of
our
comprehensive
plan.
Okay,
it
speaks
to
Tod
and
you
know
I'll,
just
I'll,
just
read
it
out
loud.
Thank
you,
development
that
is
within
one-half
mile
from
and
oriented
toward
a
transit
station
that
provides
frequent,
reliable
service,
Tod,
optimizes
transit
use
to
a
compact
mix
of
housing,
retail
office
uses,
uses
and
walkable
pedestrian
oriented
character.
O
O
I
think
I
think
clearly
the
the
East
Link
service
will
be
a
frequent
from
I.
Don't
know
that
that's
the
definition
we'd
use
and
that's
probably
something
that
we
would
evaluate,
and
if
it's
a
you
know,
there's
other
other
areas.
Besides
today
where
writer,
Light
Rail
is
going
these
gate
with
the
with
the
eastgate
Transit
Center
or
our
can
ride
there,
yeah
it's
a
high
transit.
You
know,
area
bulb
at
the
parks
and
I've
been
out
at
the
flyer,
stop
in
the
middle
of
I-90.
Okay.
That
would.
I
Yeah
yeah,
okay!
Well,
thank
you
for
that.
Appreciate
that
and
like
oh,
what
customers
on
set
as
well
I
think
maybe
two
to
four
years
might
be
too
late.
This,
maybe
every
two
years
might
be
more
on
point,
given
the
level
of
growth
and
development
and
all
the
exciting
things
happening
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
But
again,
thanks
for
the
great
presentation.
Thank
you
well,.
E
J
G
So
yeah
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
about
this
outreach.
I
think
that
was
really
appropriate.
What
the
thing
I
didn't
hear
you
say
it,
maybe
because
there
wasn't
any
is,
did
we
have
any
opposition
to
this?
We
haven't
gotten
any
emails
in
opposition.
O
Not
that's
been
accessible,
I
expressed,
I,
think
I.
Think
there's
you
know
mention
some
of
the
uses
you
know
multifamily
is
going
to
be,
especially
in
downtown
and
in
the
Tod
areas
will
be
lower
than
the
adopted
rate
office
in
an
in
downtown
kind
of
hits.
The
mark
right
on
other
uses,
lodging
retail,
are
slightly
higher,
based
on
the
on
the
national
data
in
ite
and-
and
we
know
folks
are
developing
hotels
and
retail
retail
isn't
isn't
a
big
factor.
O
G
I
appreciate
and
I
appreciate
the
revenue
neutral
approach
to
to
this.
The
issue
about
Tod
makes
me
think.
Maybe
we
need
to
put
on
the
work
plan
to
update
the
chapter
to
have
a
better
definition
of
Tod
within
the
impact
fee
chapter
because
trying
to
pull
a
definition
that
might
be
a
little
incomplete
about
you
know
frequent
from
the
comp
plan.
Is
it's
a
little
circuitous?
The
other
thing
I'd
really
like
to
update
for
in
the
transportation
impact
each
chapter,
and
this
will
probably
come
as
news
to
my
colleagues.
G
Bellevue
is
I,
think
the
only
city
in
the
state
of
Washington.
So
when
that
does
this,
and
when
you
have
an
impact
fee
and
the
developers
building,
the
Transportation
Improvement
under
state
law,
you're
required
to
give
them
a
credit
for
the
impact
fees
that
they
owe
and
it's
all
cities
do,
that
the
charge
transportation
impact
fees
Bellevue.
If
they
spend
more
than
the
impact
fees
most
cities,
they
spent
more
than
the
impact
fees
they
still
get.
The
credit
of
100
percent
Bellevue
writes
them
a
check.
Okay,
I!
G
Don't
think
we
should
be
doing
that
I,
don't
think
we
should
do
that.
I
think
we
need
to
change
that.
We
are
the
an
outlier
and
it
affects
our
revenue
to
build
more
project.
So,
if
we're
looking
at
the
impact
feed
chapter
to
add
this
Tod
definition,
which
I
support
I,
think
we
should
also
look
at
this
issue
of
writing
checks
to
people
for
the
impact
fees,
because
that's
taking
impact
peepees
paid
by
other
people
and
giving
them
to
the
developer.
So,
finally,
I
really
would
like
to
from
a
big-picture
perspective.
G
We
need
to
and
I
know
we're
working
on
it.
Look
at
our
transportation
system,
a
lot
more
than
just
at
the
impact
fees
in
the
TF
piece.
I
know
that
we
have
some
concurrency
issues
percolating
out
in
North.
East
I
really
hope
that
in
that
next
12
to
24
months,
that
we
look
at
concurrency
across
the
city
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do.
What
what?
Where
are
we
gonna
have
concurrency
issues?
How
do
we
fix
them?
G
And,
what's
that
gonna
cost
and
I
hope
this
happens,
and
that
we
have
that
back
to
us
before
we're
asked
to
adjust
the
impact
fees
again,
because
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way
to
stay
ahead
of
the
transportation
growth
issues,
make
sure
that
we
don't
bust
certain
currency
and
that
we
figure
out
a
way
to
fund
it,
because
you
can't
fund
100%
of
that
from
Qaddafi's
you.
It's
gonna,
be
a
lot
of
different
ideas
on
how
to
make
sure
that
we
meet
the
transportation
needs
of
Bellevue
the
next
two
two
decades
and
beyond.
G
A
You
know
we
might
look
into
the
if
if
there
was
a
definition
of
frequent
transit
service
in
the
transit
plan,
which
I
think
did
focus
on
ten-minute
headways
during
during
the
prime
prime
prime
times
I
think
that
could
be
an
area
where
I
would.
If
we're
going
to
be
doing,
we
should
do
a
Tod
definition
and
then
maybe
something
that
says
if
you
are
considering
well,
however,
it
would
be,
but
maybe
a
either
it's
a
full
definition
of
it
or
for
the
purpose
of
impact
fees
or
transportation.
A
A
A
A
R
A
A
And
seconded,
to
approve
the
agenda
as
amended
all
in
favor,
say
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries.
That
brings
us
to
communications
written
and
oral.
How
many
people
do
we
have
signed
up
to
speak
on
communication
tonight
and
a
reminder
that
this
is
not
about
the
temporary
encampment
ordinance
at
this
time?
That
public
hearing
comes
a
little
later.
A
Okay,
anyone
who
wishes
to
testify
who
did
not
have
an
opportunity
to
sign
up
I
am
seeing
none,
so
we
will
move
on
and
that
will
get
us
to
the
other
business
quicker
coming
up.
Next
is
the
report
of
the
city
manager
miss
Varens?
Do
you
want
to
lead
that
now
that
you
are
in
control
here
at
City
Hall?
That's.
S
Right,
thank
you.
Mayor
Chung
enact
members
of
the
council.
We
do
have
staff
here
for
one
manager's
report
item
to
provide
the
council
with
an
update
the
city's
Bellevue
essentials
program.
Tonight
with
us,
we
have
Julie
Ellen
horn
from
our
Community
Relations
Department,
our
Community
Relations
Coordinator,
to
introduce
two
of
the
2019
Bellevue
essentials
graduates
who
are
joining
us
to
show
their
experience
from
the
class
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Julie
thanks.
A
H
Council
members
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
tonight
for
the
annual
report
on
Bellevue
essentials,
so
on
Wednesday
evening
this
week
the
seventh
cohort
of
our
Bellevue
essentials
class
will
graduate.
This
is
a
diverse
group
of
36
emerging
leaders
who
have
devoted
30
hours
over
the
last
nine
weeks
to
learn
about
the
structure
and
inner
workings
of
our
Bellevue
city
government
and
they've
gone
through
a
combination
of
lectures
and
tours
hands-on
activities
and
received
a
taste
of
many
topics
in
all
areas
of
the
city
learned
about
history.
H
They
sat
in
your
seats
and
played
boards
and
commissioners
and
council
members.
They
built
a
big
public
project
out
of
Legos
learned
how
our
sewers
were
cleaned.
They
allocated
funds
for
the
budget,
visited
our
parks
and
explored
the
character
of
our
neighborhoods,
very
all,
comprehensive,
inclusive.
Nine
weeks
and
last
week
our
fifth
cohort
of
employees
completed
their
Bellevue
essentials
program.
We
graduated
45
students
providing
them
with
the
vital
skills
at
the
and
the
connections,
giving
them
a
knowledge
base
that
allows
them
to
better
serve
our
residents
and
to
work
collaboratively
among
different
departments.
H
It's
no
surprise
that
the
cumulative
impact
of
the
Bellevue
Essentials
graduates
becomes
more
profound
each
year,
they're
showing
up
at
our
city
meetings
serving
on
city
boards
and
commissions,
and
at
nonprofits
in
our
community
I'd
like
to
share
just
a
few
snippets
of
what
our
graduates
are
saying
about.
Bellevue
essentials,
its
eye-opening,
impressive
I
have
a
new
level
of
respect
for
the
passionate
city
staff
and
leadership.
I'm
grateful
to
live
in
such
a
well-run,
City,
I'm
so
proud
to
be
a
resident
of
Bellevue
I.
Now
appreciate
the
complexity
in
decision
making.
H
I
now
know
that
I
can
have
an
impact.
This
class
inspired
me
to
love
Bellevue
and
to
devote
myself
to
my
community.
It
was
a
deeply
impactful
experience.
As
you
can
see,
there
are
no
better
ambassadors
for
the
Bellevue
essentials
program
than
our
graduates
themselves
and
in
fact
quite
a
few
of
them
are
sitting
behind
me
and
I
just
like
them
to
stand
up
and
be
recognized
for
a
moment.
H
So
they're
all
done
with
class.
They
didn't
have
to
come
tonight,
but
I'm
thrilled
to
see
them
all
here
and
I
would
like
to
invite
two
members
of
our
2019
graduating
class
Deborah
Deutsch,
who
is
a
longtime
Bellevue
resident
and
Joon
woo?
Who
is
a
brand
new
immigrant
to
Bellevue,
being
here
only
16
months
and
I'd
like
to
invite
the
two
of
them
to
share
a
little
bit
of
their
personal
reflections
with
you.
T
So
good
evening,
I'd
like
to
start
by
sharing
a
little
bit
about
myself.
I
took
my
very
first
ever
plane
ride
and
arrived
in
Bellevue
in
1981,
and
it
was
one
of
those
beautiful
sunny
clear
days
and
as
I
flew
in
the
mountain
was
out.
The
lakes
were
beautiful,
the
trees
were
there
and
six
weeks
later,
I
moved
to
Bellevue
with
three
young
children.
Knowing
no
one
I
wanted.
My
children
to
have
beautiful
lives
and
Bellevue
seemed
to
be
the
perfect
place.
Strong
schools,
beautiful
parks
and
great
neighborhoods
life
moved
on
my
oldest
entered
kindergarten.
T
My
youngest
was
born
at
Overlake
Hospital.
We
joined
the
local
Swim,
Club
celebrated
birthdays
at
Pizza
and
pipes,
I,
don't
know
if
anybody
remembers
pieces
and
pipes
and
Kelsey
Creek
farm.
We
stood
many
days
under
umbrellas
at
countless
soccer
games
on
the
field.
We
listened
to
13
years
of
consecutive
years
of
middle
school
band
concerts
and
we
watched
six
children
graduate
from
high
school
professionally
for
almost
20
years.
I
worked
in
a
human
services
and
recreation
non-profit
serving
Bellevue
and
I've
spent
the
last
10
years,
working
in
the
Bellevue
school
district
and
retired.
T
T
Okay,
that's
twice
and
usually,
if
you
hear
something
three
times,
you
should
go
for
it,
and
so
then
it
popped
up
on
my
Facebook
page,
so
I
applied
I
thought
there
was
a
slim
chance
of
being
accepted
and
when
I
got
that
envelope
in
the
mail,
I
literally
did
a
happy
dance.
My
husband
couldn't
figure
out
what
was
going
on,
but
after
38
years
as
a
young
mother
as
an
empty-nester
and
now
a
retiree
I
would
get
to
really
know
more
about
my
city.
T
Bellevue
essentials
has
become
a
ground
connection.
For
me,
I've
met
people
whose
lives
have
began
throughout
the
world
and
the
United
States,
whose
paths
I
may
never
have
crossed
if
it
wasn't
for
Bellevue
essentials,
we're
all
different
ages,
we're
all
different
backgrounds,
different
languages,
and
we
all
have
differing
strengths.
I
learned
that
my
38
years
in
Bellevue,
provided
me
with
the
knowledge
that
was
just
on
the
surface,
but
now
I
began
to
understand
the
deep
foundations
that
today's
city
was
built.
T
We
were
built
with
boldness,
valuing
beauty
and
recognizing
the
strength
and
diversity
our
community
brings
after
38
years,
I
still
choose
Bellevue.
It
was
a
wise
choice.
I
now
know
that
I
will
have
two
grand
connections
in
my
future
and
I
look
forward
to
traveling
one
day
on
both
of
them,
the
physical
one
and
my
personal
grand
connection
journey.
T
U
Good
evening,
council
members
supportive
this
stops
my
fellow
classmates
it's
my
great
honor
to
be
here
after
nine
weeks
of
starting
in
Bellevue
essential
program.
We
are
proud
to
say
than
we
have
fulfilled
this.
Our
commitment
for
class
is
the
information
to
require
a
choir.
But
for
me
a
new
immigrant
moved
to
Bellevue
sixteen
months
ago
means
twice
as
much
effort
to
absorbed
while
struggling
with
language
after
each
class,
I
have
to
spend
top
o
the
amount
of
the
time
to
review
the
class
matures.
U
Fortunately,
I
have
no
God
and
in
concussion
so
far,
but
for
a
newcomer
this
is
well
overwhelming
challenge
to
how
to
build
credit,
how
to
learn
about
the
city,
how
to
become
actively
in
this
community
and
how
to
find
a
job
quickly
and
effectively.
At
the
same
time,
language
and
culture
bearers
can
aggregate
this
challenge
I'm.
The
first
generation
of
my
family,
comparing
to
the
first
generation
of
Americans,
hung
to
the
year's
goal,
who
seeks
to
survive
only
I
count
myself
lucky
enough
to
do
him.
Much
more
Belleville
will
come
the
word.
U
Our
diversity
is
our
stress.
We
embrace
our
future
while
respecting
our
past.
We
adventurous
spirit
new
immigrant
can
survive
and
grow
Belva
essentials
had
impressed
on
me
the
spirit
I
bring
over
mine
and
wellness
to
learn
and
participate,
and
home
I
played
Game
Master
mastermind
with
my
kids.
If
I
lose
did
a
love
to
say,
hey
Dad,
you
have
fixed
minded
I
reflect
on
what
does
it
say
and
wondered
what
I
should
do?
Keeping
the
open
minded,
anti
dude
and
step-by-step
learning
method.
I
get
closer
to
my
goal,
whether
it
is
a
person
or
city.
U
Getting
a
hate
is
not
easy.
There
are
some
obstacles
on
the
way.
For
instance,
he
made
this
year
I
fail
that
you
reach
the
summit
of
the
mountain
Denali
in
Alaska
due
to
harsh
weather.
However,
I
don't
give
up,
I
will
try
it
again,
because
it
is
my
interest
and
Michael
something
and
same
a
long
way
to
go
upward
in
Bellevue,
for
example,
diversity
can
bring
us
more
opportunity
and
advantage,
but
how
to
handle
this
complexity
and
the
diversity
can
be
a
big
challenge
during
class.
U
We
are
powered
by
pension
which
comes
through
lecture,
starts
contribution
and
the
last
but
not
least,
those
awesome
dinners.
We
have
bunch
of
resources
in
our
nerdy
style,
include
presentation,
roleplay,
game
exercise
and
more
when
visiting
a
utility
department,
a
safety
department.
We
can
feel
the
responsibility
of
the
stars
and
our
parks
tour.
How
passionate
the
Rangers
are.
Bellevue
essentials
isn't
to
tell
us
how
the
garment
works,
but
who
gave
us
the
fundamental
of
self
governor's.
U
U
Although
it
is
the
end
of
our
is
sensuous
class,
it's
only
a
new
start
of
our
community
engagement,
because
now
we
have
much
more
resources
and
fuse
to
share
like
a
seed.
If
you
water,
it
nurture
it
consistently,
it
will
flourish
in
time
now.
I
have
already
rejected
it,
and
the
trio's
theory
in
Bellevue
I
like
to
devote
my
passion
and
contribution
to
our
community
I
believe
Bellevue
had
huge
venturers
spirit
in
the
future.
U
I
strongly
believed
this
venture
spirit
and
the
diversity
can
make
our
future
better
and
brighter
I'm
going
to
do
my
humble
effort
to
stress
a
nemi
cause
by
expressing
my
sincere
gratitude
to
Juli
my
peers,
Bellevue
is
sensuous
Bellevue
City.
Lastly,
my
family,
you
all
is
for
me.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
You
Deborah
and
June
I'd
like
to
leave
you
with
one
last
quote
from
Linda
Hoffner
one
of
this
year's
graduates.
People
are
our
greatest
asset
and
from
what
I
can
see,
Bellevue
is
rich
with
diversity,
innovation
and
kindness.
Imagine
the
change
we
could
create
if
more
cities
offered
their
citizens
an
opportunity
to
learn
from
each
other's
differences
and
invest
in
shared
goals
and
interests.
We
need
more
of
that.
H
On
that
note,
I
do
want
to
share
with
you
that
we
have
received
requests
from
other
cities
in
the
region
wanting
to
model
after
the
Bellevue
Essentials
program,
I've
been
pleased
to
share
our
best
practices
with
shoreline,
Kent,
Renton
Bremerton
and,
most
recently,
Tacoma
I
expect
that
we
will
see
civic
engagement
strengthened
all
around
the
region.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
support
of
the
Bellevue
essentials
program
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Well,.
A
Thank
you
very
much
Julie
and
thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
participating
in
Bellevue
essentials.
I'm,
sorry,
I
can't
be
at
the
graduation.
My
day,
job
is
taking
me
out
of
town
this
week
after
tonight,
but
I
have
always
enjoyed
taking
part
in
Bellevue
essentials
and
also
being
at
graduations,
so
I'm.
Sorry,
I
can't
do
that.
A
A
It's
about
working
with
you
and
working
for
you
and
this
program
is
so
incredible
at
giving
people
a
look
under
the
hood
at
their
city
and
then
they
become
so
much
smarter
about
it.
So
again,
thank
you
very
much
and
congratulations
and
by
the
way
you
never
get
out
of
being
a
Bellevue
Essentials
graduate
there's
always
work
to
be
done.
So
thank
you.
Great.
A
Okay,
we
will
move
forward
with
the
agenda.
We
let's
say
we
don't
have
the
the
vote
on
the
planned
absence,
which
means
we
come
to
the
consent.
Calendar
I
would
ask
for
someone
to
move
the
consent
calendar.
It's
been
moved
and
seconded
to
adopt
the
consent.
Calendar
occasionally
I,
take
a
little
time
to
say
what's
on
this
because
it
goes
by
so
quickly.
There
are
new
traffic
signals
at
148,
so
our
traffic
poles
at
148,
south
east
and
southeast
16th
and
southeast
22nd,
one
at
Richards
Road
in
southeast
26.
A
These
are
going
to
allow
us
to
do
the
flashing,
yellow
turn
signals.
There's
four
million
dollars.
That's
added
the
CIP
for
the
purchase
of
property,
in
particular
the
kelly
property
in
the
bell
red
area
that
helps
us
do
a
300
stall
park-and-ride
in
that
particular
area.
The
we're
accepting
the
federal
CDBG
funding
tonight.
There's
lots
of
contracts
in
here
for
maintenance
of
the
great
facilities
that
we
have
throughout
the
city
and
there's
1.4
million
dollars
in
here.
That's
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
It's
for
the
view.
Crest,
sanitary
sewer
retrenchment
project.
That's
my
neighborhood!
A
This
is
Phase
three.
If
you
ever
looking
for
something
to
named
after
me
that
way,
you
could
always
name
up
sewer
yeah
so
anyway,
so
with
that
all
those
in
favor
of
the
consent
agenda
say
aye
any
opposed
to
the
motion
carries.
That
brings
us
to
our
next
item.
I
believe
that
is
going
to
be
the
public
hearing
that
a
number
of
people
are
here
for
tonight
on
the
temporary
encampment
land-use
code,
amendment
we're
going
to
start
with
a
staff
report
on
this.
That's.
S
Correct
mr.
mayor-
and
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
the
proposed
land
use
code,
amendment
related
to
temporary
encampments,
they
important
step
of
the
process
provides
the
public
a
formal
opportunity
to
share
their
thoughts
with
the
City
Council,
as
the
council
considers
the
final
content
for
this
code
amendment.
By
way
of
background.
After
initiating
this
code,
amendment
back
in
September
and
several
study
sessions,
this
was
initiated
in
order
to
replace
a
consent
decree
that
the
City
of
Bellevue
has
been
operating
under
for
the
past
13
years.
V
The
agenda
today
is
to
go
through
the
schedule.
We
will
talk
about
the
background
in
history,
feedback
and
recommendation
and
the
Public
Engagement
plan
and
schedule
that
we've
set
for
this
proposal,
so
on
September,
9th
City
Council
gave
authorization
for
the
initiation
of
the
temporary
encampment
Luca
on
September
9th.
Since
that
time
we
have
looked
at
the
we've
had
three
study
sessions
from
September
through
November.
V
We
have
fulfilled
the
process
for
process
requirements
for
an
courtesy
public
hearing
before
the
EBC
C,
which
was
held
last
Wednesday
November
13th,
and
then
we
also
are
fulfilling
the
process
for
requirement
for
a
public
hearing
that
is
going
to
be
held
before
City
Council.
We
have
a
placeholder
today
for
a
study
session
scheduled
for
November
25th
and
we
have
final
action
scheduled
for
the
9th
and
the
e
BCC
adoption
On
January
7th.
This
is
all
will
occur
before
the
expiration
of
the
consent,
decree
On,
January,
27
2020.
W
2030.
You
permits
temporary
encampments
only
as
an
accommodation
for
religious
exercise
later
that
year,
in
November
of
2005
Temple
B'nai
Torah
and
its
co-applicant
share
wheel,
which
manages
tent
city
for
applied
for
the
first
temporary
encampment
permit
under
2030
you
that
permit
was
subsequently
granted
with
certain
conditions,
and
shortly
after
the
permit
was
granted,
the
permit
applicants
filed
a
lawsuit
against
the
city,
claiming
that
the
land
use
code,
chapter
2030,
you
as
well
as
certain
conditions
of
the
permit,
violated
the
federal
and/or
state
constitutions,
as
well
as
a
federal
statute
governing
land
use
regulation.
W
With
respect
to
religious
exercise,
that's
called
our
lupa,
that's
the
short
name
of
the
statute.
This
lawsuit
was
settled
in
January
2006
via
a
consent
decree.
That's
a
settlement
agreement
between
the
parties
to
the
litigation
that
is
monitored
and
approved
by
a
federal
court
judge.
The
consent
decree
outlines
how
the
parties
agree.
The
city
will
interpret
Ana
to
interpret
and
apply
the
terms
of
2030
you
in
the
permitting
process
as
a
result
of
the
consent,
decrees,
entry
in
2006
and
subsequent
extension.
W
It's
it's
been
extended
two
times
since
2006
2030.
You
has
never
yet
been
applied,
as
originally
enacted
by
the
City
Council
and
is
currently
and
has
always
been
administered
alongside
the
federal
consent
decree
that
consent
decree
is
now
set
to
expire
on
January
27
2020,
which
brings
us
to
the
current
date
and
the
proposed
land
use
code
amendments
that
we
bring
today.
W
This
is
just
a
reminder
for
the
public.
What
the
what
the
proposed
looka
today
is
not
about
chapter
2030,
you
does
not
regulate
unlawful
camping
on
public
property
such
as
in
parks
or
public
right-of-way.
It
does
not
regulate,
sleeping
or
parking
overnight
in
vehicles,
and
likewise
it
does
not
regulate
temporary
or
permanent
shelters
for
persons
experiencing
homelessness.
So
any
sort
of
indoor
shelter
use-
this
is
merely
a
temporary
encampment
regulation
as
an
accommodation
for
religious
exercise.
W
V
To
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
temporary
encampment
host
from
2005
to
2016
I
have
looked
and
reviewed
at
every
temporary
encampment
application
since
2005
there
have
been
ten
Hosting's
thus
far
since
this
time
frame
so
starting
to
the
east
with
Temple
B'nai
Torah.
They
have
hosted
five
times
out
of
those
Hosting's
all
of
the
Hosting's.
But
the
fourth
went
very
well,
except
for
the
fourth
one,
where
there
was
an
improper
contact
and
change
of
leadership
within
the
temple
leadership.
V
Moving
then
to
the
west,
with
the
Episcopal
Church
of
the
resurrection
they
hosted
once
and
it
is
the
only
church
or
hosting
that
took
place
within
the
e
BCC,
then
moving
to
the
West
to
First
United
Methodist
Church,
they
hosted
twice
and
the
Hosting's.
There
went
fairly
well
because
the
church
administration
was
very
committed
to
listening
to
the
neighbors
and
they
really
went
out
of
their
way
to
try
to
accommodate
the
requests
that
were
given
to
them.
V
And
so
as
an
example,
there
was
a
request
to
increase
the
height
of
the
screening
fence
from
6
feet
to
8
feet,
and
then
also
there
was
a
request
that
their
wish
school
Brigade
so
that
children
can
walk
back
and
forth
to
school
and
get
make
their
bus
stops
and
then,
lastly,
further
to
the
north,
st.
Luke's,
Lutheran
Church
has
hosted
twice.
Those
Hosting's
were
also
very
well
and
since
2012,
st.
V
Luke's
Lutheran
Church
has
left
the
temporary
encampment
hosting
and
so
they've
moved
to
more
host
to
a
permanent
housing
and
so
they've
created
a
relationship
with
imagine
housing
and
they
just
installed
63
units
of
affordable
housing
on
their
site.
So
when
you
look
at
this
map,
not
everyone
has
chosen
to
do
temporary
encampment
Hosting's,
it's
not
for
everyone,
and
so
since
2016
we
have
not
had
any
further
Hosting's
or
request
since
that
time.
V
So
to
talk
about
stake
stakeholder
feedback
to
let
you
know
before
we
can
move
to
this
topic,
that
staff
looked
inward
and
we
looked
at
our
regulatory
framework.
We
looked
at
the
regulatory
requirements
of
2030
you.
We
also
looked
at
the
provisions
of
the
consent
decree
and
we
also
looked
at
the
implementation
experience
that
we've
had
over
the
13-year
period.
Once
we
concluded
that
review
and
evaluated
our
standing,
we
turned
outward
and
then
started
engaging
with
our
original
signatories
and
our
neighborhood
focus
group.
V
Conversely,
the
neighborhood
group
feedback
that
we
received
and
the
neighborhood
group
was
composed
of
members
who
have
lived
around
the
for
hosting
sites
that
you
saw
previously,
plus
they
attended
public
hearings
from
since
2005,
so
that
was
the
composition
of
the
neighborhood
focus
group.
So
what
we
heard
from
them
was
that
they
wanted
increased
accountability
for
encampment
host
and
operators.
They
thought
alignments
between
the
consent
decree
in
2030
you.
W
W
B
W
Okay,
so
apologies
for
the
technical
difficulties.
The
the
proposed
Lucca,
which
is
attached
to
the
materials
today
includes
all
four
of
these
topic
areas,
topic
1,
being
the
alignment
of
the
health
and
safety
standards
in
the
consent
decree.
This
is
the
baseline
land
use
code
amendment
that
was
originally
provided
to
Council
during
the
study
sessions
before
council
directed
staff
to
move
forward
with
Luca
that
included
the
subsequent
3
topic
areas.
W
Today's
land
use
code.
Amendment
proposal
includes
amendments
to
the
following
three
areas
as
well:
neighborhood,
engagement,
location
frequency
and
duration
and
permit
process.
This
is
a
streamline,
permitting
process,
as
suggested
as
a
possible
consideration
during
the
encampment
host
feedback
process.
The
recommendations
provided
today
are
based
on
stakeholder
input
and
permitting
experience,
along
with
consideration
of
the
trends
and
regional
approaches
and
the
current
regulatory
framework.
The
proposed
recommendations
should
be
taken
together
as
a
package
as
they
are
designed
to
incorporate
these
conditions
without
impacting
religious
exercise,
rights.
V
So
the
first
topic
that
for
consideration
is
the
alignment
of
the
health
and
safety
standards
to
the
consent
decree.
So
we've
had
13
years
of
experience
of
operating
under
the
consent,
decree
for
the
life
and
healthy
standards
that
are
embedded
within
the
consent
decree.
They
have
proven
successful
in
preventing
disease
and
protecting
public
health
and
they
better
reflect
the
realities
of
how
tc4
operates
in
regards
to
showers,
numbers
of
sinks
and
toilets.
So
it's
our
recommendation
for
council
consideration
that
we
amend
the
health
and
safety
standards
to
reflect
operations
under
the
consent
decree.
V
Moving
to
our
next
topic,
which
is
neighborhood
engagement.
There
are
two
subtopics
under
this
item.
The
first
is
to
remove
the
lid
acquirement
from
the
land
use
code
as
it's
written
today,
and
the
purpose
for
that
is
is
that
this
requirement
was
universally
unpopular
with
the
neighborhood's.
They
did
not
like
to
have
the
new
individuals
in
their
neighborhoods
and
then
also
it
created
loitering
as
well.
W
With
respect
to
the
duration
in
particular,
today's
regulatory
framework
allows
for
a
duration
of
90
days.
The
feedback
received
during
the
feedback
gathering
process
suggested
that
temporary
encampment
host
would
prefer
a
longer
duration
due
to
the
burdens
of
setup
and
removal
of
a
temporary
encampment.
The
longer
duration
allowed
for
less
impact
in
that
manner
at
the
same
and
the
recommended
minimum
by
the
temporary
encampment
host
was
a
duration
of
120
days.
On
the
other,
you
know.
W
On
the
other
hand,
other
stakeholders
suggested
that
120
days
would
be
a
long
period
of
time,
but
would
be
them
maximum
number
of
days
that
they
would
consider
for
a
host
in
good
standing
and
who
had
worked
with
their
neighbors.
So,
although
it
was
not
a
direct
alignment,
120
days
was
a
duration
upon
which
the
all
stakeholders
could
potentially
get
on
the
same
page
about
and
for
that
reason,
staff
recommends
the
amendment
to
120
days
of
duration.
W
To
balance
that
the
recommendation
with
regard
for
frequency
is
to
consolidate
the
three
frequency
related
provisions
in
the
temp
in
the
current
regulatory
framework,
so
that
there
is
one
12
month,
gap
between
deployments
citywide
in
this
between
temporary
encampments
in
the
city
citywide.
This
is
roughly
aligned
to
the
operation
of
temporary
encampments
and
the
frequency
that
exists
under
the
consent
decree.
W
W
And
lastly,
the
final
recommendation
in
the
area
of
the
streamline
permitting
process
is
in
the
form
of
a
five-year
extended
temporary
encampment
permit.
That
will
be
an
option
for
temporary
encampment
hosts
that
have
previously
hosted
before,
and
it
had
a
permit
issue
that
was
not
subject
to
revocation
the
application
for
the
five-year
permit
envisioned
in
the
proposed
Luca
is
the
same
for
the
first
year
as
it
is
under
the
existing
framework,
and
that
includes
all
of
these
requirements
that
you
see
here
in
subsequent
years.
W
V
Moving
to
neighborhood
engagement
and
schedule,
the
city
staff
has
informed
the
community
stakeholders
of
the
potential
changes
that
we
are
proposing
tonight
within
Landy's
Code
2030
you,
we
have
fulfilled
the
process
for
requirements
for
a
courtesy
public
hearing
before
the
EB
CC
and
the
public
hearing
scheduled
tonight
this
evening
before
council.
We
also
have
enhancements
that
we
have
established
beyond
the
process
for
requirements
by
having
an
establishing
a
web
presence
under
hot
topics.
We
worked
with
the
PIO
to
a
message:
the
Luca
progression
and
we've
also
created
a
Luca
mailbox
for
commenters.
V
L
L
V
A
W
A
W
I
think
I
understand
the
potential
concern,
so
let
me
clarify
currently
any
host
may
apply,
regardless
of
their
prior
status,
for
an
a
permit.
That
is
good
for
the
duration
of
the
permit,
which
is
now
90
days,
and
so
the
new
proposal
would
be
would
not
change
that,
but
it
would
allow
a
host,
who
has
previously
had
a
temporary
encampment
permit.
That
was
not
revoked
for
some
reason
to
choose
which
path
they
want
to
go
down.
One
would
be
the
same
process,
which
would
only
be
good
for
one
hosting.
W
The
other
path
would
be
a
permit
process
that
would
allow
for
a
five
year
duration,
which
would
basically
allow
the
host
to
host
subsequent
permit
permitted
encampments
under
modified
process,
and
so
that
that
is
the
difference
between
the
framework
that
exists
today
and
what
is
being
proposed.
Okay,.
A
J
J
V
X
V
J
A
A
Was
inside
okay?
Yes,
that's
what
I
thought
I
I
thought
I
had
heard:
I
thought
I
heard
that
and
I
didn't
think
that
it
was
correct.
So
I
do
appreciate
that
the
other
with
this
permit
application.
There
are
at
least
at
this
moment
two
groups
that
managed
temporary
encampment
and
there
is
the
one
that
is
under
share
and
there
is
one
that
is
run
I
forget
the
name
of
it
now
does
it
matter
which
one
is
running
it
to
be
able
to
get
that
that
quicker
permit
process.
A
A
V
Depends
on
the
encampment
host
and
who
they
affiliate
with.
So
as
an
example,
Temple
B'nai
Torah
has
hosted
tent
city
for
five
times,
but
first
United
Methodist
Church
has
hosted
both
tc4
but
the
second
time
they
hosted.
First
United.
Excuse
me
Camp
unity,
the
second
time,
so
it
depends
on
the
affiliation
between
the
accountant
host
and
then
the

People,
okay,
so
when
your
name
is
called-
and
maybe
we
can
call
three
names
at
once,
so
that
we
know
who
all
is
in
the
queue
come
to
the
front
state,
your
name
and
your
address.
The
light
will
come
on.
The
green
light
will
come
on.
That
means
you're
on
the
clock
when
the
yellow
light
comes
on.
That
means
you
have
one
minute
left
and
when
the
red
light
comes
on,
you're
done.
Y
Y
Y
Here
in
Bellevue,
as
of
August,
I
became
the
lead
of
the
emergency
shelter,
woman,
shelter
which,
which
we
are
now
located
at
the
Temple
B'nai
Torah,
which
is
awesome
and
yeah
I,
have
seen
firsthand
the
crucial
role
that
congregation
play
by
providing
shelter
to
the
women
in
the
illness
in
my
program.
So
as
we
discussed
the
need
for
tent
encampments
and
want
you
to
remember
the
significant
need
that
congregations
fill
for
those
experiencing
homelessness.
I
start
by
talking
about
the
cause
of
homelessness.
Y
Many
think
that
the
homelessness
is
due
to
addiction
and
mental
health
or
problems
related
to
crime.
Let
me
dispel
those
myths
for
you
right
now.
They
are
untrue.
Homelessness
is
caused
by
a
lack
of
low-income
housing,
affordable
housing,
plain
and
simple.
In
Bell
V,
the
average
median
income
is
a
hundred
thousand
a
year
when
someone's
income
is
this
high.
The
causes
of
homelessness
seems
abstract,
but
they
are
very
real.
Y
A
roughly
a
third
of
Bellevue
residents
are
paid
minimum
wage
and
that
the
and
that
a
proportion
number
of
people
experiencing
homelessness
are
people
of
color
and
40%
of
our
youth
experiencing
homelessness
are
in
in
King
County,
our
LGBTQ
community.
For,
furthermore,
there
are
no
shelters
in
Bellevue
that
that
provides
services
for
families,
that's
for
families,
couples
and
people
with
that
pets.
So
I
urge
you,
the
council,
to
consider
the
significance
of
these
encampments
by
supporting
congregations
to
provide
encampments.
Y
We
we
minimize
the
likelihood
of
children
in
Bellevue,
School,
District
from
sleeping
in
woods
or
the
streets,
or
we
can
help
families
stay
together.
We
know
that
pets
are
not
turned
away
and
see.
Couples
remain
together.
So
I
stand
here
as
a
working
member
of
this
community
and
asked
why
limit
encampments
to
locate
on
religious
land,
they
fill
a
gap
for
those
who
do
not
have
access
to
resources.
Furthermore,
why
limit
frequencies
for
encampments,
when
there
are
faith-based
organizations
that
are
apt
and
willing
to
provide
assistance?

of
a
night
Ora
I'm
gonna,
read
from
a
neighborhood
flyer
that
was
put
out
and
right
before
the
2014
stay.
Ten
city
for
stay
at
Temple,
B'nai,
Torah
density
for
is
self
policing,
meaning
that
all
tc4
residents
themselves
in
rotation
handle
ID
checks.
Screening
and
the
enforcement
of
the
code
of
conduct
that
Temple
B'nai,
Torah,
TBT
and
share
assure
us
is
rigorously
enforced.
Z
No
outside
agency
or
authority
verifies
us.
There
is
no
outside
security.
Coach
conduct
states
that
no
drugs
or
alcohol
and
tc4
state
they're,
100%,
drug
and
alcohol
free.
Yet
in
January
2014
at
Mary,
Queen
of
Peace
and
Sammamish,
there
were
three
to
four
trafficking:
related
police
cases
involving
at
least
two
arrests,
one
arrest
he
told
police
that
he
had
sold
meth
12
TC
for
residents
that
day
those
arrests
were
part
of
a
joint
ongoing
investigation
involving
multiple
reports.
Z
At
least
one
meth
case
was
involved
at
least
one
meth
case
involved
an
individual
related
to
a
previously
known
case.
The
code
of
conduct
states
that
no
violence
is
tolerated
and
TC
4
/
share
claimed
no
one
has
ever
been
harmed
by
their
operations.
Yet
there
was
a
rape
allegation
during
the
recent
Mary
Queen
of
Peace
Day,
which
went
unreported
for
two
months.
Z
There
is
a
history
of
allegations
of
assaults,
rapes
and
sexual
crimes
against
women
going
unreported
due
to
a
now
changed
rural
share,
preventing
residents
from
calling
911
unless
it
was
okayed
by
the
camp
hierarchy.
People
breaking
that
aforementioned
rule
were
ejected
and
banned
from
the
shelter
while
the
accuser
remained,
which
hardly
seems
fair.
Z
In
the
2014
stay
at
TBT
there
was
a
overdose
death
results.
Thum
a
drug
ID
resulting
in
death
with
camp
do
demand.
Management
and
hosts
were
not
cooperative
with
authorities.
One
person
on
the
shear
camp
on
the
share
camp
management
team
had
a
felony
warrant
out
for
her
arrest
that
must
have
been
missed
during
the
outstanding
warrant
and
sex
offender
checks.
There,
a
woman
felt
women
selling
their
wares
at
the
park
behind
my
house,
as
well
as
the
property
of
the
adjacent
Church
reports
of
alcohol
guns
and
drugs
at
2000.
Z
At
the
14
chairs
day
at
TBT,
so
I
appreciate
the
city's
desire
and
efforts
to
streamline
or
what
must
be
a
repetitive
and
tedious
process.
However,
passing
this
amendment
ignores
the
neighbors
repeated
concerns
and
feedback
to
the
city
and
minimizes
any
chance
for
neighbors
to
hold
the
encampments
management
and
hosts
accountable
in
any
real
way
should
unforeseen
events
occur
and
put
what
could
be
a
potentially
a
very
good
situation
at
risk.
I'd
like
to
submit
these
papers
for
the
record.
Thank.
Z
Q
Q
It's
fulfilling
a
very
important
role
in
our
community
and
I
would
appreciate
that
the
council
and
the
City
of
Bellevue
do
what
it
can
to
help
enable
this
I
realize
it
is
a
burden
for
all
involved,
including
the
volunteers
as
well
as
for
the
city
staff
and
the
neighborhood,
but
anything
that
can
minimize
that
effort
and
minimize
the
burdens
would
certainly
be
appreciated
for
those
who
of
us
who
volunteer
and
those
residents
of
these
us
of
these
encampments.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you
very
much.
X
Karen
Morris
my
addresses
on
file
city
staff
has
four
years
had
documentation
of
problems
during
ten
encampments
at
TBT
and
elsewhere,
and
I
have
reprimanded
a
because
they're
claiming
some
states
were
not
problematic,
which
were
very
proud.
American
neighbors
have
provided
much
of
this
and
have
tried
to
work
with
both
the
city
and
the
hosts
for
years
to
resolve
obvious
issues
with
logical
operational
changes.
We
have
proven
that
the
existent
man
existing
management
procedures
and
the
self
management
style
do
not
result
in
permit
conditions
being
adhered
to,
or
commitments
made
to
stakeholders
being
kept.
X
We
have
waited
13
years
for
a
process
to
address
these
deficiencies,
mediation
and
facilitation
failed
up
to
this
point,
enforcement
has
been
lacking
and
attempts
to
get
major
issues
addressed
by
hosts
have
fallen
on
deaf
ears,
so
it
is
profoundly
disturbing
that
the
city
process
has
left
the
real
input
of
its
impacted
citizens
out
and
failed
to
even
attempt
to
address
our
major
concerns.
There
are
none
so
blind
as
those
who
will
not
see
this
process
has
been
blind
to
one
perspective
and
to
the
obvious
logical
gaps
in
the
demands
of
the
other.
X
The
neighborhood
engagement
was
unfortunately
tokenism
with
no
substance.
There
are
only
two
proposals
for
addressing
our
concerns.
One
is
by
far
the
least
impactful
of
the
seven
things
that
we
have
asked
for.
The
other
six
are
not
even
mentioned.
The
second
offered
proposal
is
voluntary,
something
we
don't
want,
because
it
has
already
been
tried
and
proven
to
be
not
only
ineffective,
but
dismissive.
The
comparative
chart
is
cherry-picked
only
trying
to
support
what
others
want.
X
I
observed
this
directly
in
a
meeting
I
attended
before
the
2016
TBT
stay,
where
I
as
the
neighborhood
representative,
was
not
even
allowed
to
speak.
Anyone
who
thinks
that
this
kind
of
one-sided
approach
will
result
in
Belleview,
avoiding
the
problems
we
see
in
Seattle
and
elsewhere
is
fooling
themselves.
These
same
techniques
are
in
a
large
are
a
large
part
of
what
got
those
places
where
they
are
and
the
same
methods
will
not
get
different
results
here.
Thank
you.
Thank.
P
P
First,
we
thank
this
council
and
the
city
as
a
whole
for
its
great
work
on
the
new
men's
shelter,
the
city.
The
council
has
taken
a
leadership
role
in
the
community
and
among
neighboring
cities
by
really
grappling
with
a
problem.
That
is
not
easy.
It's
the
opposite
of
easy
I'd,
also
like
to
commend
the
staff
on
15
years
of
attention
to
this
temporary
encampment
ordinance
and
now
amending
it.
P
P
We
have
long
thought
that
a
religious
organization
should
be
free
to
shelter,
homeless,
people
on
its
property
and
just
as
free
of
regulation
as
possible.
It's
not
desirable
in
any
community
that
people
can
say
well.
I
can
pray
here,
I
can
hire
employees
here.
I
can
find
my
supplies
here
pay
for
gas
here,
but
it
can't
actually
practice
my
religion
here.
That's
not
permissible
and
Bellevue
to
its
credit,
has
not
been
doing
that.
I
do
want
to
raise
a
couple
of
issues
with
respect
to
that
draft
looka.
First,
the
minimum
12-month
gap
between
temporary
encampments.
P
This
is
in
section
2030
you
dot,
1:25,
subparagraph,
a
subparagraph
5.
It
says
quote:
there
should
be
a
minimum
12-month
gap
between
any
temporary
encampments
in
the
city.
End
quote:
what
that
does
inadvertently
is
create
a
situation
where
one
one's
religious
freedom
depends
on
someone
else's
religious
freedom.
It
means
that
if
I'm,
X
and
I
want
to
do
something
in
the
practice
of
my
religion,
I
first
have
to
find
out
what
Y
did
and
what
Z
did
in
the
practice
of
their
religions
and
if
Y
&
Z
did
something
to
further
their
religious
beliefs.
P
That
could
result
in
me
as
X
not
being
able
to
further
my
religious
beliefs.
This
I'm
I'm
very
familiar
with
precedents
in
the
field
of
homeless
encampments,
but
I'm
not
familiar
with
any
precedent
that
supports
this
type
of
regulation.
Of
of
any
spacing
there.
There
really
isn't
a
need
for
spacing,
as
you've
heard,
the
encampments
have
been
relatively
few
and
far
between
on
average
Bellevue
does
not
host
any
religious
encampments
on
average.
P
A
AA
Evening
my
name
is
Sam
basta
I'm
a
resident
here
in
Bellevue
167
to
1
southeast
28th.
Street
I
wanted
to
just
offer
a
little
bit
of
background.
As
a
native
of
Bellevue
born
here
went
to
school
here,
I
operated
a
business
here
for
over
30
years,
I
owned
business
property
over
by
Richards
Road
and
I
love.
AA
There
are
people
living
in
our
woods
in
Bellevue,
which
is
very
troubling
for
me,
and
Bellevue
is
very
interesting
in
that
we
are
a
very
compassionate
community
that
people
of
faith,
the
faith
communities
on
Bellevue
carry
a
great
deal
of
water
for
the
homeless
community.
It
is
where
you
will
find
low
income
housing
that's
been
built,
it's
where
you'll
find
shelters,
it's
where
you'll
find
places
where
people
have
fed
my
own
faith
community
of
sacred
heart,
my
chimey
I'm
a
full
time
deacon
and
in
charge
of
that
community
for
the
last
18
months
or
so.
AA
AA
It
is
so
vitally
important
and
I
think
the
temple
and
their
work
and
spoke
so
eloquently
on
the
need
to
preserve
the
rights
of
the
religious
community,
the
rights
as
religious
property
owners,
the
right
to
exercise
our
faith.
It
is
this
place
of
hope
this
place
where
we
walk
with
and
give
people
human
dignity
that
the
problem
can
be
worked
towards
solving
its
a
massive
problem.
It's
not
just
Seattle,
it's
not
just
Tacoma.
AA
AA
K
Thank
You,
council
members,
my
name
is
Colleen
lang
and
I
live
at
one.
Five:
eight
to
six
South
East
4th
Street
in
Lake,
Hills
I'm,
a
actual
Bellevue
native,
grew
up
in
Somerset
and
I've
been
lake
hills
resident
about
10
and
a
half
years.
I
own
a
home
there
and
I
can
tell
you
that
as
a
person
who
works
for
a
non-profit,
United
Way
of
King
County
and
is
a
homeowner,
it's
an
expensive
place
to
live
and
I
know.
K
We
all
know
that,
and
we
all
feel
it
from
time
to
time
I'm
here
tonight,
with
my
resident
hat
on
my
unitedway
hat,
but
I
do
I,
have
learned
a
little
bit
from
United
Way
about
ending
homelessness
and
in
that
capacity
I
attend
these
said
Human
Services
forum
and
familiar
with
the
landscape
locally
and,
of
course,
as
an
individual
I'm,
a
member
of
the
East
Side
interfaith
gathering,
which
is
made
up
of
members
from
East
Side
congregations.
The
2019
count
us
in
survey
found
337
unsheltered
people
on
the
east
side.
K
So
these
are
people
who
have
no
shelter,
no
home
they're,
not
couchsurfing
they're
outdoors.
They
are
living
in
places
unfit
for
human
habitation.
Bellevue
schools
found
300
homeless
students
this
year.
Those
are
could
be,
families
that
are
couchsurfing
and
sharing
homes
or
are
sheltered
or
unsheltered.
So
we
know
we
have
a
problem.
We
know
that
some
of
our
neighbors
are
homeless
and,
as
our
friend
from
Sophia
Way
said
about
a
third
of
Bellevue
residents
are
making
minimum
wage
minimum
wage
is
under
30
thousand
dollars
a
year.
K
That's
depending
on
how
many
kids
you
have
close
to
the
poverty
level
and
because
we
know
that
we
have
low
income
residents
and
homeless
residents.
I
think
we've
got
an
issue
with
the
city,
not
offering
any
permanent
shelter
and
not
offering
any
permanent
encampments.
The
reason
encampments
are
valuable
is
because
we
don't
have
low
barrier
shelters.
People
are
attached
to
three
things:
the
other
people
in
their
life,
their
pets
and
their
property.
K
When
you
go
into
a
shelter,
if
you're
a
woman-
and
you
have
a
partner,
you
can't
bring
your
man
into
your
women's
shelter
and
vice
versa.
Some
shelters
don't
allow
children
some
allow
children,
but
not
teenage
boys.
So
it's
hard
to
keep
a
family
intact.
If
you
have
lost
all
of
your
belongings
in
your
home,
but
you
have
a
dog,
you
don't
want
to
give
up
that
pet.
K
So
there
are
a
lot
of
reasons,
legitimate
decision
making
that
goes
on
in
people's
minds,
why
they
end
up
in
encampments,
and
since
we
know
that
people
have
a
need
for
this
I
think
we
have
a
real
issue
with
saying
that
it
can
only
occur
for
a
few
months
every
year
or
18
months.
We
need
permanent
places
for
people
to
be
sheltered.
One
of
the
important
reasons
for
that
is
that
people
have
jobs.
K
AB
Good
evening
Mary
almanaque
and
Bellevue
City
Council
members,
my
name
is
Karen
stutters
I
am
a
renter,
not
a
homeowner.
I
was
a
resident
of
Bellevue.
I
am
NOT
now,
but
I
am
the
faith
representative
on
the
Eastside
Human
Services
forum,
work
group
and
their
legislative
committee
and
I
serve
as
the
interfaith
coordinator
under
contract
with
the
Church
Council
of
Greater.
Seattle
I
want
to
say
that
the
number
of
men,
women
and
children
that
are
seeking
refuge
far
exceeds
the
number
of
safe,
supportive
spaces
for
them
to
say
stay
in
the
City
of
Bellevue.
AB
Emergency
shelters
are
not
open
throughout
the
year
and
have
limited
hours,
and
they
must
move
to
a
new
location
every
few
months.
The
toll
on
human
suffering
is
huge
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
In
the
Luca
record,
the
city's
summary
of
the
history
of
Tenten
Kamath's
is
not
neutral.
It
leaves
out
significantly
legal
challenges
since
the
execution
of
the
consent,
decree
specifically
a
case
directly
endpoint
in
the
state
of
Washington,
where
an
in
2009
a
congregation
sued,
the
City
of
Bellevue.
AB
In
that
case,
the
Washington
Supreme
Court
held
that
the
Washington
and
Federal
Constitution
and
they
are
Lou
Pia
that
your
city
attorney
referred
to
earlier,
both
required
that
city
zoning
restrictions
must
be
narrowly
tailored
to
achieve
a
compelling
government
interest
and
allow
Ridge
religious
organizations
to
exercise
their
rights.
That
was
our
Supreme
Court
and
it
does
not
appear
to
be
mentioned
in
the
city's
documents.
Most
recently
in
Boise
Idaho,
seven
citizens
that
are
experiencing
homelessness,
sued,
the
city
of
Boise
and
the
u.s.
AB
court
of
appeals
held
that
cities
cannot
prosecute
people
for
sleeping
on
the
streets
if
a
city
does
not
have
enough
shelter
beds
available
within
its
jurisdiction.
In
2016,
at
the
request
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Kirkland
Redmond
and
Issaquah,
the
Church
Council
convened
a
group
of
congregations
and
identified
12
recommendations
for
the
cities
to
look
at
you've
received
that
memo
and
I
know
what
was
recently
resubmitted
in
this
record.
But
none
of
your
proposals
tonight
consider
any
of
those
12
recommendations.
AC
Good
evening,
I'm
Michael
Ramos
I
serve
as
executive
director
of
the
Church
Council
of
Greater
Seattle.
The
church
council
includes
among
its
members,
congregations
from
16
denominations
on
the
east
side
and
city
of
Bellevue.
Our
recent
efforts
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
have
been
interfaith
through
the
Eastside
interfaith
gathering,
including
Catholic
Muslim
and
Jewish
congregations
as
well.
These
congregations
have
formed
the
heart
of
the
city's
response
to
homelessness
for
four
decades.
AC
I
ask
you
to
discern
carefully
and
reconsider
your
actions
and
this
land
use
code,
warden
and
ordinance
in
light
of
unnecessary
and
burdensome
restrictions
that
will
limit
and
potentially
thwart
faith
communities
from
exercising
their
religious
Duty
on
their
property.
Such
restrictions
are
not
in
keeping
with
the
common
good,
which
includes
upholding
the
dignity
of
house
and
non
house
residents
in
bellevue
and
the
east
side
equally
and
equitably
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
B
B
Although
I
was
mentioned,
that
I
think
we're
success
tonight
was
used
in
terms
of
there
is
no
disease
in
the
camps,
something
to
that
effect.
There
have
been
some
problems
and
I
think
we
should
talk
about
what
it
means
to
be
successful
and
I
realize
that
this
is
a
big
problem
nationwide.
As
to
how
do
you
define
success,
but
I
think
accountability
has
a
lot
to
do
with
it.
B
AD
AD
I've
been
involved
in
this
process
involving
homeless,
encampments,
I
think
as
long
as
mr.
Chum
niak
and
mr.
Lee,
and
certainly
mr.
Pratt
I,
had
the
honor
and
privilege
of
co-chairing
the
logistics
committee
for
tent
city
for
for
Temple
B'nai
Tora
in
2005
and
signed
the
application
for
the
first
homeless
encampment
permit
under
the
looka.
AD
In
that
capacity,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
and
learn
from
the
members
of
tent
city
for
their
just
like
we
are
they've
had
some
hard
times,
but
the
people
are
good
people
they're,
honest
people,
they
want
they're,
hard-working
people,
but
they
fell
on
bad
times.
I,
never
hesitated
at
any
time
to
have
any
of
my
children,
whether
they
be
of
whatever
age
and
whatever
gender
help
out
in
the
camp
go
through
the
camps
meet
with
the
residents
of
the
camps
again
they're,
just
like
we
are,
they
just
fell
on
hard
times.
AD
I
appreciate
all
the
efforts
that
this
council
has
been
doing
to
address
homelessness
in
the
city
of
Bellevue,
with
the
work
towards
the
permanent
shelter
and
the
the
work
on
keeping
the
temporary
shelter
open
year-round.
If
I
got
that
correct,
I
applaud
you
and
I
know
you
want
to
do
what's
right
and
you
want
to
enable
faith
communities
to
be
able
to
fulfill
their
mission
of
social
justice
in
helping
the
homelessness
problem
through
tent
cities,
which
isn't
a
perfect
Ellucian.
AD
We
all
know
that,
but
it
is
part
of
the
solution,
and
it
is
something
that
these
people
who
live
in
these
tent
cities
need
it
brings
them.
Community
I
saw
people
who
young
women
who,
when
I
first
saw
them
I,
was
like
wow
if
it
weren't
for
tent
cities
and
the
community
of
those
tent
cities.
Where
would
they
be
again?
AD
AE
Hi,
my
name
is
Arnie
Goldstein
I
am
a
40
year.
Member
resident
of
Bellevue
I
live
at
121.
46.
Excuse
me
40.
My
first
resident
was
on
156th,
where
we
live
for
years,
and
for
the
last
30
years
we've
been
at
45,
30,
146,
Avenue,
South,
East
I
retired
several
years
ago,
and
became
a
vegetable
gardener.
After
a
life
of
traveling,
we
produce
food
for
the
hungry
and
I
volunteer
for
tent
city,
for
where
we
provide
dinners
and
other
help.
AE
AE
We've
hosted
a
number
of
times
and
I
became
familiar
with
the
residents
there
and
I
agree
with
Bryan
the
folks
that
I've
met
have
been
folks.
Just
like
you,
and
just
like
me,
I'm
reminded
of
the
story
of
a
couple
of
folks
at
one
of
our
encampments,
who
met
each
other
and
got
married
and
graduated
in
two
subs
housing
and
went
on
to
have
a
child,
and
if
we
can
do
more
of
that,
that's
wonderful
to
our
neighbors,
who
might
have
been
impacted
by
some
of
the
encampments
that
have
happened.
AE
A
AE
A
A
V
A
W
Understanding
is
that
the
5:00
p.m.
this
afternoon
requirement
was
specifically
related
to
the
public
hearing
comment
period.
The
other
methods
of
public
comment
are
still
available
and
there
will
continue
to
be
a
public
process,
including
potentially
the
study
session
next
Monday
No
25th
with
the
council.
Okay,.
L
A
A
Okay,
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
this
in
a
way
that
is
as
transparent
as
as
is
possible.
We
are
working
toward
getting
this
done
this
year
because
the
consent
decree
is
going
to
expire.
That
would
put
us
back
to
the
ordinances.
It
exists
as
I
understand
that
that
the
consent
decree
essentially
modified
right.
Yes,.
G
L
Just
for
a
public,
whatever
clarify
the
time
line
is
not
set
in
stone
because
we've
heard
mr.
Michael
Rambla,
you
know
he
actually,
if
I
caught
you
in
the
last
meeting
just
now,
requester,
perhaps
some
more
community
engagement,
whether
we
do
it
not.
You
know
obvious
self
to
me
to
us,
but
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear,
there's
no
magic
formula
that
says
we
have
to
make
a
decision.
Therefore,
the
consent
decree
the.
A
M
I
I
have
a
concern
with
any
rule
that
says
comments
or
suggestions
must
be
submitted
by
a
certain
time.
I
think
any
council
member
should
have
has
the
right
to
at
any
moment
propose
something
different.
As
things
come
up,
so
I
got
found
that
up
a
little
bit
of
a
flaw.
The
last
time
we
went
around
on
this
and
I
understand
the
desire
to
have
this
put
out
as
soon
as
possible,
but
that
just
cuts
off
any
real
deliberation
up
to
the
moment
of
making
a
decision
so.
A
A
What
I
would
of
what
I'm
trying
to
find
out
is.
Is
there
is
there
among
the
council?
Is
there
some
thought?
We've
had
this
before
us
a
few
times.
I
definitely
have
some
thoughts
about
amendments.
If
I'm
the
only
one
thinking
about
him,
then
I'm,
you
know
all
forget
it,
but
okay,
so
do
we
want
to
say
and
work
with
staff
on
where
we
have
where
we
might
have
concerns
about
amendments
or,
as
I'd
like
to
have
a
process
at
which
we
see
them?
G
Go
ahead
and
launch
it
first,
thank
you,
everyone
for
coming
tonight
and
weighing
in
and
staying
late
at
our
council
meeting
and
being
part
of
the
solution.
I
would
like
to
have
a
discussion
during
the
study
session
about
the
duration
of
stay.
We
have
seen
information
from
staff
on
some
cities
and
some
from
the
public
on
other
cities
that
the
duration
regionally
is
really
closer
to
90
days.
That's
what
was
in
the
consent.
G
Whether
most
cities
do
require
a
certain
level
of
insurance,
but
I'd
like
to
have
that
information
I'm,
not
suggesting
a
change
at
this
time,
but
I'd
like
to
have
a
discussion
about
that
aspect
of
the
application
and
how
it
relates
to
the
consent,
decree
and
our
lupa
and
I
believe
the
case
we
had
to
public
comments
cite
a
case
in
2009.
One
said
it
was
City
of
Bellevue
I,
don't
believe.
G
That's
true
I
think
it's
City
of
Woodinville
versus
North
Shore
United
Church
of
Christ,
which
did
not
weigh
in
on
our
lupa,
and
it
specifically
said
that
there's
a
balancing
when
the
type
of
religious
practice
is
affects
others
outside
the
walls
of
the
sanctuary.
So
just
I'm
happy
to
send
that
link
out
to
my
colleagues,
I
sent
it
to
the
one
other
lawyer
council,
but
if
we
need
to
have
some
information
on
that,
it
would
be
good
to
have
that,
maybe
as
a
privilege
memo
from
the
City
Attorney's
Office.
G
That's
what
I
am
thinking
at
this
point,
I
guess
I
guess
one
other
question
would
be
if
there's
another
way
to
make
sure
that
we
mitigate
any
criminality
we
received
in
our
on
our
desk
tonight.
A
history
of
criminal
impacts
on
other
tent
city
stays,
so
I,
don't
know
that
we
can,
but
I
would
like
to
know
what
is
the
limit
of
what
we
can
do
to
make
sure
that
when
people
are
bringing
new
residents
into
a
neighborhood
for
a
temporary
stay
that
they
are
good
neighbors?
Thank
you.
AD
M
I
think
what
I
there
have
been
some
interesting
legal
questions
raised
and
I'd
like
to
have
some
more
discussion
of
that
on
both
ends
of
it
I
my
preferences
and
I
think
our
obligation
and
what
Bellevue
has
been
pushing
for
and
understanding.
If
we
don't
want
to
be
like
Seattle,
we
don't
be
like
other
areas.
We
want
to
take
a
very
aggressive
and
forward-looking
approach
towards
finding
shelter
for
homes
and
I
would
like
to
have
an
approach.
That's
not
a
reactive!
M
E
A
Allen
so
we're
not
and
I
apologize,
I'm
really
trying
to
get
to
the
concept
of.
Do
you
want
to
offer
an
amendment
and
I
think
councilmember
Robertson
gave
us
some
specifics.
I
would
like
to
offer
an
amendment
as
well.
I
would
like
to
talk
about
an
amendment
that
I
would
like
to
offer
so
I'm
I'm,
not
looking
for
speeches.
M
M
L
L
The
police
may
be
safety,
rated
safety
plus
the
religious
freedom.
I
think
those
are
the
two
things
I
think
we
need
to
address
the
neighborhood's
concerned,
the
some
we
or
adjust
them,
but
there's
some
additional
information
that
we
received
aa,
specific
cases
where
you
know
there
has
been
records
of
you,
know,
equipment,
activities
and
the
other
hand.
A
J
Look
at
this
the
definition
of
success,
or
at
least
having
some
I
mean
I'm.
Looking
at
this
code,
and
maybe
we
don't
normally
have
this
in
a
land
use
code,
but
some
preamble
or
some
some
piece
that
talks
about
what
we're
actually
trying
to
accomplish
in
this
code
because
it
seems
like
it
launches
right
into
it,
and
if
we're
since
we're
talking
about,
seems
to
me
we're
talking
about
how
we
really
balance
the
exercise
of
the
right
to
religious
exercise
and
are
furthering
our
governmental
interest
of
of
our
neighborhoods.
J
That
I
would
like
to
have
something
in
the
beginning
that
at
least
talks
a
bit
about
what
that
means
to
us
as
we're
crafting
this
code,
because
otherwise,
when
you
pick
it
up
it
it
it
launches
right
in,
and
it
seems
like
it's
missing
the
context
and
I
think.
Perhaps
if
we
have
that
than
these
other
pieces
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
the
gap
and
the
and
the
duration
will
will
get
worked
through
and
then
on
the
accountability
piece.
It
seems
to
me
again.
W
J
I
So
that's
something
I'd
like
to
take
a
look
at
versus
looking
at
other
cities,
what's
gonna
be
most
effective
for
Bellevue,
and
then
another
area
I'd
like
to
get
some
some
more
data
and
information
and
we're
provided
with
some
of
it
tonight
regarding
some
of
these
crime
reports.
I
believe
this
costs
in
numerous
times
that
Florida,
the
5/10
encampments
were
successful.
But
clearly
we've
received
emails
and
are
hearing
from
some
residents
tonight
that
that
wasn't
necessary.
I
Always
the
case,
but
there's
varying
degrees
of
what
that
activity
was,
but
certainly
some
of
the
police
reports
that
we
saw
here
tonight
are
a
little
bit
concerning,
especially
like
the
gentleman
who
was
only
70
with
so
many
feet.
Are
seventy
yards
from
attending
captaining?
Obviously
folks
like
that,
are
gonna,
be
feeling
the
the
impact
of
this
the
most
so
clearly,
some
no
amendments
tonight
mayor,
but
certainly
someone
would
like
to
study
more
before
our
study
session
next
week.
Okay,.
A
Permit
I
come
at
this,
as
this
is
a
temporary
use
and
most
of
what
we
have
in
terms
of
temporary
uses
in
the
code
is
90
days.
So
as
we
get
to
that,
but
there
have
been
some
that
have
gone
to
120
days
that
it
this
is,
and
it's
exactly
and
I
think
consul
member
Robertson
for
bringing
it
up.
The
North
Shore
case
is
very
specifically
about
the
balance,
and
that
is
a
difficult
thing
for
us
to
do.
It's
it's
very
difficult
to
do
that
balance,
but
I.
A
A
So
that's
kind
of
the
areas
where
I
would
look
on
this
council
members
should
work
with
staff
if
we
have
the
opportunity
to
do
that
this
week,
so
we
have
a
little
better
idea
of
where
we
are
on
that
we
can
give
some
direction
at
the
November
25th
meeting,
and
you
know
what,
if
we
can't
get
this
done,
December
9th,
you
know,
six
of
you
are
going
to
be
here
going
into
the
new
year.
So
yes,
councilmember
Robertson
get.
G
This
done
December
9th,
because
if
we
don't
it
won't
get
to
E
PCC
in
time
to
take
action
before
the
consent
decree
expires.
So
if
we
need
to
have
go
long
on
the
ninth,
if
we
need
to
have
a
study
session
on
this
on
the
2nd
of
December,
god
forbid,
we
should
have
to
have
a
third
meeting
in
December.
We
have
to
get
this
done
before
the
end
of
the
year.
I'm
absolutely
committed
to
that.
Well,.
AC
A
There
was
some
confusion
when
I
first
saw
from
the
from
the
the
public,
but
understanding
that
what
you're
doing
is
you,
you
have
the
women
they're
inside
you
know
they
are
they're
being
taken
care
of
I.
Just
want
to
thank
you
for
stepping
up
to
that.
It's
a
great
example
of
how
our
faith
communities
have
worked
very
successfully
with
the
city,
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that,
but
I
do
I
meant
to
bring
that
up
earlier.
So
mr.
Cantor
thank
you
and
to
the
the
congregate,
sat
the
temple
for
doing
that.
A
Very
much
appreciate
you,
you
so
any
other
anything
else
on
that.
Okay,
so
try
to
work
with
staff,
see
if
you
can
come
up
with
some
concepts
around
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
done
in
a
as
transparent.
A
manner
as
is
possible,
is
there
any
I
think
that's
the
end
of
the
end
of
for
tonight.
It
is.
Is
there
any
other
business
to
come
before
the
council
tonight,
seeing
none
we're
adjourned.
