Dear
madam
mayor,
deputy
mayor
council
members,
thank
you
so
much
for
standing
together
with
ukrainian
community
for
resolution
that
was
adopted
last
week.
Unfortunately,
I
wasn't
able
to
attend
meeting
last
week,
but
I
truly
appreciate
and
our
community
that
lives
in
bellevue
and
not
just
ukrainians,
but
I
am
sure
that
all
the
residents
of
our
beautiful
city
of
bellevue
appreciate
your
leadership
and
you
standing
together
with
people
of
ukraine.
G
Some
of
you
and
some
of
you
sent
me
emails
and
text
messages,
and
that's
friendship
and
that's
support.
That
support
is
what
we
need
in
hard
times
like
this.
We
enjoyed
having
our
largest
cultural
event
on
the
west
coast
in
city
of
bellevue,
and
we
would
like
to
keep
doing
it.
We
hope
that
in
september,
when
we're
gonna
have
it,
it's
gonna
be
celebration
of
our
victory
over
evil
regime
of
putin,
and
thank
you
for
hosting
us
and
for
letting
us
be
part
of
this
beautiful
city.
B
B
H
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members
tonight
we
are
holding
a
council
budget
workshop
this
evening
with
respect
to
the
2023
to
2024
operating
budget
and
23
to
29
capital
improvement
program.
H
As
you
know,
this
is
a
budget
year
for
the
city
in
development
of
those
budgets
and,
as
we
have
done
in
the
past,
we
have
we
are
coming
to
the
council
early
in
the
process
for
information
and
feedback
to
me
as
the
city
managers
that
prepare
the
preliminary
budget,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
content.
We're
going
to
cover
tonight
with
respect
to
the
budget
process
and
timelines.
H
Something
new
we're
going
to
look
at
this
year
is
taking
a
look
at
our
operating
budget
through
an
equity
lens,
as
well
as
our
capital
budget,
we're
going
to
talk
about
inflation
and
then
we're
going
to
reground
the
the
council
with
respect
to
the
long-term
forecasts,
as
well
as
some
of
the
challenges
we
have
on
the
on
the
on
the
yeah
as
we
go
into
the
future,
with
respect
to
expenditures
exceeding
our
revenue
lines
and
then,
lastly,
we're
going
to
provide
an
overview
and
seek
feedback
on
the
long-term
parks.
Capital
planning.
H
So
with
that,
there
is
a
lot
of
content
again
that
we're
going
to
cover
and
we're
happy
to
provide
great
things,
individual
briefings
to
one
or
two
council
members
how
many
there
are
up
to
without
creating
a
full
quorum
after
this
presentation.
H
I
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
members.
As
always,
it
is
a
pleasure
to
be
back
with
you
this
evening.
Thank
you
once
again
for
having
us
city
manager,
miyaki
went
through
the
agenda
quite
well.
I
will
just
make
a
couple
more
comments
on
the
agenda.
In
that
evan
phillips,
the
city-wide
budget
manager
will
take
the
budget
process
and
the
update
on
inflation
I'll
come
back
in
and
do
some
work
on
the
general
fund
forecast
and
longer-term
strategies.
I
You
will
see
this
slide
a
couple
more
times
through
the
presentation
and
we'll
be
check
boxing
off
the
items
that
we
are
through
to
give
you
a
sense
of
where
we
are
on
the
agenda.
Otherwise,
I
think
it
would
be
a
very
long
run
on
piece,
so
we'll
we'll
bring
this
back
a
couple
of
times
to
give
you
a
check
on
where
we
are
on
the
agenda
as
we
proceed
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
evan
phillips
the
city-wide
budget
manager.
Take
us
through
budget
process
and
timeline.
J
Thank
you
tony
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
members
tonight
I'll
be
walking
you
through
the
proposed
2023-2024
budget
process,
relevant
milestones
and
opportunities
for
public
engagement.
We
are
seeking
any
feedback
that
you
may
have
on
those
items,
as
well
as
providing
initial
feedback
on
the
proposal
to
test
and
develop
an
equity
lens
for
this
budget
cycle.
J
So
while
this
may
be
old
hat
for
many
of
you,
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
this
process
is
what
we've
done
for
every
biennium
going
back
to
2010
and
it's
called
our
budget
one
process
and
this
process
is
the
best
way
to
identify
the
priorities
of
our
community
through
surveys,
public
hearings
and
council
input
to
best
prioritize
the
city's
available
resources
on
the
city
services
that
the
public
best
desires.
So
that
is
a
brief
overview
of
our
budget
one
process,
but
at
a
very
high
level.
J
This
is
the
process
that
the
city
budget
takes
throughout
any
budget
development
year.
So,
as
a
first
step,
all
departments
submit
proposals
to
the
budget
office
and
city
leadership
that
outline
the
services
they
provide
the
relationship
to
council's
vision
and
priorities,
as
well
as
relevant
performance.
Metrics,
we
are
expecting
these
proposals
from
departments
within
the
next
month
and
additionally,
our
biennium
budget
survey
is
out
in
the
field
with
the
community,
which
we
hope
will
provide
timely
feedback
from
residents
as
this
process
moves
through
city
staff
and
to
council.
J
J
Before
after
that,
preliminary
budget
is
presented
and
before
that
adoption
date,
we
will
hold
one
final
public
hearing
in
advance
of
that
adoption
date
to
make
sure
that
the
public
has
one
more
opportunity
to
reflect
and
provide
its
input
on
that
preliminary
budget.
So
in
total
we
will
have
three
budget
hearings
throughout
the
process
again,
one
in
spring
late
spring,
one
in
the
summer
and
one
before
adoption
later
this
fall
public
engagement
will
be
consistent
with
the
open
process
that
bellevue
has
had
for
several
cycles.
J
There
is
a
website
available
that
outlines
these
opportunities
for
public
engagement
in
greater
detail.
However,
broadly
we
incorporate
feedback
from
the
public
through
our
budget
performance
and
business
surveys,
which
are
done
to
determine
how
bellevue,
residents
and
businesses
view
the
value,
importance
and
quality
of
the
service
that
the
city
provides.
J
We
also
have
three
public
hearings,
as
I
mentioned
on
the
previous
slide,
as
well
as
opportunities
at
council
meetings
for
public
comment
or,
as
always,
submitting
written
comments
to
council
or
the
finance
and
asset
management
department.
And
finally,
the
public
can
provide
feedback
to
the
human
services,
environmental
services
or
transportation
commissions,
as
well
as
the
parks
and
community
services
board,
all
of
which
will
be
having
whole,
all
of
which
will
be
holding
meetings
on
budget
relating
topics
throughout
the
year.
J
So
there
are
an
ample
number
of
opportunities
for
public
engagement
throughout
the
entire
year
over
the
next
few
slides
I'll
be
walking
you
through
the
frameworks
that
help
orient
our
budget
conversation
throughout
the
process,
the
first
of
which
is
the
city's
budget
guiding
principles.
The
city
strives
to
provide
quality
programs,
even
if
that
narrows
the
scope
of
services
provided
rather
than
diminish
the
quality
across
all
bellevue
services.
J
The
principles
call
for
a
process
that
looks
at
the
budget
as
a
whole,
rather
than
each
component
part
of
the
budget
individually
to
better
evaluate
how
the
entire
city
budget
measures
up
against
available
opportunities,
resources,
best
practices,
community
input
and
long-term
financial
studies,
financial
sustainability
for
more
detail
on
any
of
these
guiding
principles.
There
is
additional
information
in
tonight's
agenda
packet.
J
This
budget
will
continue
to
be
framed
using
the
seven
strategic
target
areas
as
outlined
in
councils
21
through
2023
vision
and
priorities
document.
All
city
departments,
services
and
lines
of
businesses
are
included
in
one
of
these
target
areas.
It
is
important
to
note
that
these
strategic
target
areas
are
the
same
as
what
was
included
in
the
2021-2022
adopted
budget,
so
that
should
allow
easy
comparison
between
bienniums
to
see
how
those
priorities
have
shifted
over
time.
J
An
equity
lens
like
performance,
metrics,
community
surveys,
council
priorities
and
financial
forecasts
would
serve
as
another
tool
in
our
toolbox
to
inform
the
city's
budget
decision
making
each
one
of
these
tools
has
evolved
with
our
budget
one
process
and
as
that
budget
one
process
matures.
We
hope
to
incorporate
more
diverse
inputs
to
ensure
that
the
city's
decision
making
around
all
things
budget
is
rigorous
and
considers
as
many
variables
as
practical.
J
Specifically,
this
information
would
be
mapped
and
would
include
appropriate
narrative
storytelling
and
be
set
alongside
demographic
information
such
as
race
and
ethnicity,
and
media
and
household
income.
Among
many
others.
This
limited
approach
would
serve
as
a
baseline
of
our
current
state
and
would
cover
many,
but
not
all,
services
provided
by
the
city
as
not
every
service
has
a
gia,
has
geographic
data
and
can
be
mapped
alongside
spending
and
demographics.
J
At
the
end
of
the
day,
the
goal
of
this
first
attempt
is
to
develop
a
tool
that
works
for
our
process
and
creates
a
solid
baseline
that
we
can
build
from
in
subsequent
budget
cycles.
This
deliberate
approach
is
informed
by
other
puget
sound
jurisdictions,
including
the
city
of
tacoma,
as
well
as
the
port
of
seattle.
B
Great,
thank
you
very
much.
Any
ac
council
member
barksdale
already
has
his
hand
up
so
we'll
start
with
you
is
it
if
anybody
else
would
like
to
speak.
Please
put
your
hand
up.
Councilmember,
barksdale,.
K
All
right,
thank
you
mayor
first,
I
just
want
to
say
I
really
appreciate
that
staff
is
looking
at
how
to
incorporate
equity
into
our
budgeting
process.
We've
definitely
talked
about
equity,
quite
a
bit
on
the
council,
so
really
glad
to
see
that
get
into
one
of
our
main
documents
that
want
artifacts.
K
So
I
just
a
couple
things
I
think,
just
given
the
limitation
with
the
data
currently
operational
data
in
terms
of
you
know
the
data
that
we
currently
have-
and
I
know
that
we're
collecting
data
now
through
the
survey
I
just
would
suggest
in
addition
to
the
metrics
that
you
currently
have
that
you
also
incorporate
a
bit
of
fall
and
engaging
with
to
the
extent
possible
stakeholders
from
groups
that
are
underrepresented
directly
and
that
may
be
through
nonprofits.
That
best
represent
that
group.
K
Those
groups
who
we
normally
don't
hear
from
just
to
make
sure
we
have
a
good
understanding
of
what
their
experience
is
in
bellevue
and
relative
to
the
services,
and
then
I
think-
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
time-
are
there
other
principles,
something
that
we
can
discuss
like
modifying
slightly
there's
one
part
that
I
think
would
I'd
like
to
add
equity
or
equitable
into
those
principles.
K
K
I
think
it's
important
to
have
that
in
the
principles,
especially
since
we're
going
to
incorporate
into
the
budget
process,
and
then
my
only
question
is
for
that
last
principle,
what
types
of
services
sort
of
come
to
mind
as
we
think
about
when
we
say
we're
gonna
only
proceed
with
quality
services
and
and
stop
providing
services
where
we
can't
provide
quality
services.
I
Certainly
mayor,
I
can
step
in
and
answer
that
question
great.
First
of
all,
thank
you,
councilman
barksdale,
for
your
feedback.
I
really
appreciate
it,
especially
the
comments
around
the
non-profit.
So
thank
you
for
that
very
helpful
to
us
when
it
comes
to
that
last
principle.
Evan.
If
you
could
pop
back
to
the
slide
with
the
that
way,
people
I
can
read
it
out
to
all
the
the
principle
at
the
bottom
reads:
if
expenditure
reductions
are
needed,
service
service
elimination
is
preferred
over
poor
or
marginal
quality
programs
in
the
history
of
bellevue.
I
I
think
there's
been
a
couple
of
times
when
we've
actually
implemented
that
and
some
of
those
services
came
back
in
in
future
budget
cycles
as
the
economy
got
better.
So
the
only
one
that
I
am
aware
of
is
back.
In
the
great
recession,
we
made
a
choice
to
eliminate
the
bicycle
patrol
in
the
police
department.
I
As
revenues
came
back
online
that
that
service
was
came
back
to
the
city,
so
that's
probably
the
only
thing
I
can
think
of
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
it
is
something
we
look
at
in
for
it
a
place
where
our
services
are
no
longer
providing
quality
programs.
I
think
that's
something
we
should
be
thinking
about.
So
does
that
answer
your
question,
sir?.
K
It
does
thank
you,
I
guess
my
only
question
would
be
that
making
sure
that
we're
not
cutting
or
that
we
think
hard
about
if
we're
cutting
any
sort
of
human
human
services
that
are
necessary
for
our
community.
C
All
right,
I
apologize
yes,
no,
I'm
muted.
I
appreciate
the
outline
for
the
process
of
budget
one
process.
I
I
think
what
I
heard
I
feel
the
most
important
and
also
something
that
we
need
to
have,
especially
when
we
have.
We
know
the
data
we've
got
is
based
on
the
census
and
I
think
we
all
on
the
council
has
been
emphasizing
matrix.
You
know
information,
I
think
that's
important.
C
C
You
mentioned
tacoma
and
port
of
seattle
in
terms
of,
is
it
as
a
best
practice
or
comparison?
I'm
just
curious.
I
I
don't
know
what
you
are
referring
to.
So
maybe
you
can
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
choice,
what
else
that
you
made
he
can
use
for
for
our
purpose
and
what
is
it
that
you
are
using
to
compare
with
tacoma
in
portland
seattle.
I
Certainly
councilmember,
I
can
step
in
there
and
evan
I'll
have
to
ship
this
over
to
you
in
just
a
minute.
If
you
can
go
back
to
the
equity
slide,
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
Councilmember
lee
there's
you
know
different
jurisdictions
are
a
different
level
of
maturity
into
relation
as
to
how
they're
thinking
about
using
equity
in
a
decision-making
tool.
I
Both
city
of
tacoma
and
the
port
of
seattle
were
two
jurisdictions
that
we
were
able
to
find
that
did
a
nice
job
mapping
data
which
helped
us
create
the
ability
to
have
a
visual,
and
not
just
words,
on
a
piece
of
paper
with
that,
I'm
going
to
ship
the
rest
of
that
answer
over
to
mr
phillips
to
pick
up
the
rest
of
that.
J
Yeah,
the
thing
I
would
like
to
emphasize
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
picked
up
on
from
the
port
in
their
presentation
of
their
equity
lens
and
their
initial
stages,
because
I
think
tacoma
is
probably
in
a
more
mature
place
than
either
where
we're
at
or
the
port
and
what
the
port
has
been
doing
as
part
of
their
initial
development
of
their
equity
lens
is
establishing
a
good
baseline.
So
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
took
away
is
you
know
we
don't
want
to
be
hard
charging
with
this
equity
lens.
J
We
want
to
make
sure
this
is
a
good
earnest
first
attempt,
because
we
really
do
want
this
to
work
and
in
order
to
really
build
a
solid
foundation,
we're
going
to
need
the
data
to
try
to
figure
that
out
and
figure
out
where
our
gaps
are
in
the
data.
So
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
lessons
that
we
took
away
from
the
port
and
I
believe
tacoma
did
something
similar
in
terms
of
establishing
a
baseline.
So
that's
why
this
attempt
is
a
little
bit
more
limited
and
it's
a
test.
B
So
councilman
stokes
go
ahead.
D
Yeah,
first
off
to
add
on
to
what
councilman
release
said,
I'm
just
making
clear
tacoma
and
the
port
are
in
addition
to
king
county
city.
So
it's
a
sounds
like
a
really
good
another
look
at
how
we're
doing
this,
and-
and
I
appreciate
that
you
know
really
two
things
I
want
to
focus
on
one
is
the
I'm
really
excited
about
having
the
equity
issue
in
this,
and-
and
I
assume
we're
going
to
take
an
approach.
D
We
look
individually
at
the
budgets
as
we
go,
but
into
items
as
we
go
through
and
we
look
at
their.
You
know
their
impact
and
the
applications
and
and
the
positive
impact
on
each
of
the
items,
but
we
also,
I
think
it's
important
to
have
a
lens
on
looking
at
the
the
impact
of
equity
and
inclusion
and
how
this
all
works
together
has
to
be
applied
to
the
whole.
D
D
Thank
you
and
the
other
I
liked,
where
the
the
the
criteria
on
that
one,
I
think
the
one
that's
they're,
all
very
good,
but
the
one
that's
really
exciting
to
me
is
is
that
which
I
always
try
to
apply
this
when
we're
going
forward,
particularly
after
all
the
stuff
we've
gone
through
recently
is
realizing
the
opportunities
holistically,
and
that
includes
opportunities
for
equity,
not
just
piece
by
piece,
but
how
do
we
make
the
whole
thing
as
it
comes
together
and
the
stuff
that
we
work
in
the
city,
equitable
all
across
the
board?
D
So
again,
I'm
very
excited
that
you've.
The
way
you
translated
this
and
put
this
forward
is
is
really
what
I've
been
hoping
we
would
get,
and
I'm
really
excited
about
working
on
that.
Otherwise,
just
great
great
presentation
so
far.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
too
am
excited
about
where
this
has
been
set
up
and
structured
for
over
the
next
next
year,
and
I
fully
expect
we're
gonna
have
a
good
conversation
tonight
and
at
the
at
the
retreat
and
and
well
beyond
that
on
the
outreach
piece
I
would
encourage
you
to
also-
and
I
just
feel
like
we're
losing
sight
of
this
too
often
is
to
do
also
announce
this
process
on
the
my
bellevue
app
or
do
a
push
notification.
E
I
feel
like
we're
losing
track
of
that
more
and
more
of
a
communication
tool
to
reach
residents,
and
then
I
just
had
a
follow-up
question
on
and
some
good
questions
on
the
on
the
equity
lens
and,
as
councilmember
barksdale
rightly
pointed
out
something
very
top
of
mind
and
important
to
this
entire
council.
I'm
just
curious
on,
since
this
is
a
test
evan.
E
How
will
we
know
if
we
got
it
right,
because
it
is
a
test,
I'm
just
kind
of
curious,
and
we
might
not
have
you
know
the
answers
until
after
the
process
is
over
or
after
the
budget
process
is
over
and
be
able
to
analyze
what
we
got
right
and
what
we
didn't
get
right,
but
I'm
just
curious
what
what
I
guess
levers
are
or
how
we're
gonna
measure
this
at
the
end
that
that
that
equity
lens
actually
helped
us
get
to
to
where
we
wanted
to
go
in
terms
of
very
equitable
budget
process.
I
I
can
step
in
to
start
now.
If
you
want
to
pick
something
else,
I
think
councilmember
newman
house,
deputy
mayor
newton
house
as
we
approach
this
process,
you're
right,
it
will
be
difficult
to
tell,
but
I
think
the
test
will
be.
Did
we
use
the
data
to
help
make
informed
decisions?
Was
it
a
part
of
our
tool
box
that
helped
us
get
to
a
decision
making,
and
I
think
that
in
the
end
will
be
the
test.
I
think,
since
it's
limited
its
scope,
we
won't
be
able
to
answer.
I
J
No,
I
mean,
I
think
the
only
thing
I
would
maybe
ask
is-
or
I
would
answer
in
addition
to
that
is
I
I
think
there
are.
There
are
ways
we
might
be
able
to
ascertain
how
much
communities
felt
engaged
were
people
engaging
with
this
content
when
it
was
presented,
was,
was
the
way
in
which
it
presented,
obviously
to
tonight's
point:
was
it
used,
but
are
we
communicating
our
findings
appropriately?
So
I
think
that's
an
area
where
there's
opportunities
for
feedback
as
well
great.
B
L
Yes,
thank
you.
You
know,
I
appreciate
thank
you
so
much,
michael
and
tony
for
the
presentation.
L
It's
very
helpful,
to
get
a
sense
for
the
the
budget,
one
process,
how
it's
gonna
work
the
pieces
that
are
the
same
as
we've
done
in
past
years,
and
then
I
appreciate
all
of
the
conversations
so
far
from
my
colleagues
related
to
equitable
community
and
how
we
might
look
at
using
an
equity
lens
as
a
as
an
18-year
employee
for
the
port
of
seattle.
L
I'm
excited
that
this
is
an
area
where
the
kind
of
work
that
the
port's
been
doing
around
equity
that
they
may
be
able
to
be
a
partnership
with
that,
and
I
guess
I
would
just
say
to
my
colleagues
that
you
know
the
equity
lens
is
one
tool
within
the
toolbox
and
to
the
deputy
mayor's
point
about
how
we're
going
to
measure
success
and
then
to
you
know,
council,
members,
stokes
and
barksdale
and
council
member
lee.
It
is
about
mapping
the
data
establishing
a
baseline
and
then
we
have
to
establish
goals.
L
So
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
are
looking
at
the
budget,
that
we
are
making
sure
that
we
have
the
internal
staff
availability
and
also
looking
at,
are
we
doing
equity
training
surveys
and
assessments
listening
sessions
so
that
we
really
understand
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
that
this
is
not
a
performative
equity
lens,
but
we're
actually
doing
the
work
of
making
sure
that
we're
embedding
equity
and
the
lens
itself
is
just
one
tool
within
a
way
that
we're
doing
business.
What
we're
looking
at,
how
are
the
non-profits
doing?
L
So
as
we
move
forward
with
the
continual
economic
recovery
and
the
workforce
development
work,
we've
started
talking
about
that
we're
looking
holistically
at
our
budget
and
how
we're
making
sure
that
we're
actually
supporting
the
equity
work.
So
we
we
end
up
with
equity
in
action
with
establishing
baselines
and
goals
and
moving
forward.
You
know,
I
appreciate
the
holistic
view
and
the
long-range
viewpoint
of
how
we
make
sure
that
we
have
a
sustainable
budget
and
grounding
in
this
work
is
going
to
be
key.
L
M
Thanks
yeah,
I
love
the
budget
one
process
so
and
I'm
glad
to
be
going
through
it
again
with
all
of
you.
So
I
support
the
process.
I
support
adding
the
equity
lens.
I
think
that's
great.
I
I
know
that
we-
and
I
know
this
data
is
just
for
sample,
but
I
think
there's
lots
of
different
ways
to
slice
and
dice
equity
and
the
data
about
it.
M
M
I
think
it
was
called
the
nis
program
called
neighborhood
improvement,
something
or
other
where
we,
in
addition
to
the
neighborhood
enhancement
program,
we
would
look
at
neighborhoods
that
needed
a
little
more
care
and
feeding
people
where
they
had
folks
that
were
more
in
need,
and
we
would
specifically
target
investments
to
that.
So
things
like
that,
I
think,
would
be
really
really
helpful
and
speaking
of
equity.
M
If
the
governor
actually
signs
house
bill,
1769
we're
going
to
have
a
little
bit
of
money
from
from
the
community
council
that
we
no
longer
need
to
fund,
maybe
we
could
use
that
as
a
down
payment
towards
equity
for
the
entire
city.
So
what
a
couple
of
other
comments?
M
I
really
want
to
get
to
using
that
again,
because
it's
really
helpful
as
a
policy
maker
when
you're
struggling
with
the
budget
to
see
okay,
if
I'm
going
to
add
more
revenue,
what
gets
pulled
up
if
we're
going
to
make
some
cuts,
what
gets
pulled
down
also
as
a
council
if
we
have
a
different
priority
than
the
list
that
that
has
the
line
in
it.
How
do
we
change
the
priority?
I
think
that's
really
a
very
useful
tool
for
the
council
as
well
as
the
public,
so
they
can
see
trade-offs.
M
The
I
think
we
should
do
similar
is
have
similar
information
about
what
are
the
options
for
additional
resources
so,
and
I
know
we're
going
to
talk
about
parks
but,
for
example,
if
the
council
wanted
to
do
a
new
parks,
capital
levy
or
parks,
o
m
levy,
what
then
could
be
pulled
above
the
line
with
those
with
those
sources
of
funds?
M
When
it
comes
down
to
the
end
of
the
process
in
november
and
december,
we
will
really
know
what
we
have,
what
we're
passing
and
it
will
be
a
very
thoughtful
budget
and
one
where
we
we
understand,
and
the
public
understands
the
trade-offs,
because
there's
not
enough
money
to
fund
everything
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
fund
the
things
that
the
people
of
bellevue
value.
So
thank
you
thank.
B
You
so
you
know,
I
really
appreciate
the
equity
lens.
I
think
that's
spot
on.
I
hate
to
say
this,
but
I'd
really
like
a
sustainability
lens.
In
addition,
I
think
those
two
things
are
super
important
moving
forward
in
every
single
thing
that
we
do
and
I'd
like
to
start
today
with
that,
just
like
we're
adding
in
the
equity
lens,
so
I'd
like
council
to
consider
the
feasibility
of
adding
that
to
this
budget
process.
B
But
I
I
I
like
where
we're
going,
and
I
will
let
you
continue
tony
thank
you.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
I'm
gonna,
move
on
to
back
to
evan
and
he's
gonna
bring
us
a
quick,
quick
update
on
something
that
we
talk
about
the
newspaper
every
day,
which
is
how
is
inflation
going
so
we're
going
to
change
from
process
into
a
little
bit
of
substance
and
talk
about
inflation?
Evan
back
to
you,
please.
Yes,.
J
So
this
will
be
brief
and
I
do
want
to
provide
a
brief
update,
as
tony
said
before,
we
dive
into
the
early
look
general
forecast,
because
everything
will
feed
off
of
this
inflation
conversation,
and
it
is
just
the
one
slide,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
also,
if
you
have
questions
that,
there's
time
available
for
that
as
well.
So
I
do
want
the
slot.
J
Let
me
just
orient
you
with
what
you're
looking
at
here,
so
this
chart
represents
roughly
30
years
of
inflation
data
for
the
seattle
metro
area,
so
there
are
peaks.
There
are
valleys,
but
generally
speaking
on
average,
the
metro
area
would
see
somewhere
between
two
and
three
percent
of
year-over-year
inflation.
There
are
some
notable
peaks.
There
is
right
before
the
great
recession.
J
There
was
a
high
of
6.2
percent
in
2008,
and
the
last
peak
should
be
familiar
to
all
of
us
experiencing
supply
chain
issues
in
2021
peaking
at
6.3
percent,
and
that
is
the
information
that
we
received
in
july
of
last
year.
You'll
also
see
a
shaded
blue
triangle
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
your
chart,
that
is
trying
to
communicate
the
huge
amount
of
uncertainty
that
we
have
in
what
we're
expecting
inflation
to
be
next
year.
J
So
it
could
be
anywhere
between
as
low
as
four
percent,
which
is
still
a
very
high
number
based
on
historical
averages
or
potentially
as
high
as
seven
percent.
So
that
is
a
pretty
pretty
substantial
variation
there,
and
we
did
want
to
highlight
that
there
is
a
lot
of
uncertainty.
J
This
is
based
on
the
best
information
that
we
have
today,
that
yellow
star
is
actually
really
our
guiding
star
for
the
time
being,
it
is
what
we
believe
to
be
the
most
accurate
and
that
yellow
star
resides
at
the
5
mark,
so
five
percent
year-over-year
inflation
is
what
we
really
do.
Think
is
the
most
likely
scenario
at
this
point
today,
and
I
really
do
have
to
emphasize
that
that
is
today's
number.
J
There
is
a
lot
of
volatility
in
this
space
and
it's
leading
to
a
lot
of
uncertainties.
But,
generally
speaking,
the
best
answer
that
most
sources
have
today
is
that
we're
going
to
see
year-over-year
inflation
at
about
5
so
just
to
ground
the
conversation
a
little
bit,
because
I
know
this
is
abs,
abstract
percentiles.
J
What
does
a
percent
in
increase
inflation
mean
let
alone
four
or
seven
percent,
so
with
every
one
percent
percent
increase
in
inflation
that
corresponds
to
roughly
a
1.2
million
dollar
increase
in
personnel
expenditures
just
to
the
general
fund,
let
alone
to
all
other
funds
in
the
cities.
But
since
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time,
talking
about
the
general
fund
tonight
just
know
that
every
incremental
one
percent
increase
again
equates
to
1.2
million
roughly
of
personnel
expenditures.
J
So
as
that
number
ticks
up
from
four
to
five
to
six
to,
hopefully
not
seven
percent
year-over-year
inflation.
It
just
exacerbates
the
current
structural
gap
that
we
have
between
revenues
and
expenditures.
So
that
is
the
context
of
the
conversation
that
we're
going
into
tonight
and
that's
why
we're
leading
off
with
inflation,
because
so
much
of
what
we're
talking
about
tonight
feeds
off
of
this
initial
problem
and
it's
something
that
we're
all
experiencing.
J
As
tony
said
at
the
top,
this
is
something
we're
reading
out
about
in
the
newspaper
you're
experiencing
at
the
grocery
store
you're
experiencing
at
the
pump.
If
you
bought
a
new
car
recently,
as
I
have
you're
experiencing
it
throughout
all
daily
life,
and
it's
really
fundamental
not
to
just
how
we
live,
but
how
the
city
budgets
going
forward.
So
that's
the
elephant
in
the
room
and
we
wanted
to
call
it
out
at
the
top.
J
So
with
that
being
said,
I
said
there
would
be
an
opportunity
for
questions
comments
concerns
at
this
point
before
we
move
on.
So
I
I
leave
the
floor
open
to
those
questions.
B
J
I
Thank
you
yet
again
for
having
us
this
evening.
Council,
here's
one
of
those
stops
in
the
check-in
lasted,
so
you
can
see
where
we
are
on
our
agenda.
We've
clicked
off
two
of
the
five
items
in
our
agenda,
so
that
is
good.
We
have
some
meeting
topics
ahead
of
us.
The
general
fund
forecast
capital
investments
and
the
park's
long-range
planning
effort,
yet
to
go
so
I'll
bring
this
slide
back
in
a
little
bit.
So
talking
about
the
jungle
fund
forecast.
I
Our
goal
today
is
for
staff
to
provide
some
background
and
some
potential
future
scenarios,
and
I'm
going
to
reiterate
that
those
are
potential
future
scenarios,
because
we've
used
proxies
to
kind
of
give
us
some
impact
of
understanding,
we'll
be
looking
at
over
the
six
year
period.
We
are
specifically
seeking
feedback
on
principles,
actions
for
considerations
overall,
questions
of
curiosity
that
will
assist
the
city
manager
in
developing
his
budget.
That
will
come
back
to
you
in
the
fall
so
with
that
evan
next
slide,
please.
I
I
know
we've
been
down
this
path
before
we've
been
talking
about
it
pretty
steadily
for
a
couple
of
budget
cycles,
and
in
the
middle
of
that
we
had
a
pandemic.
So
I'm
going
to
kind
of
go
back
in
history,
a
bit
just
remind
us
where
we've
been
so
like
other
governments,
the
city
has
faced
and
will
continue
to
face,
an
ongoing
structural
deficits
where
expenditure
growth
will
outstrip
revenue
growth
in
the
general
fund.
I
There
are
two
main
drivers
in
that
discussion,
one
on
the
revenue
and
balance
side,
and
I
have
a
slide
that
follows
this:
that
we'll
talk
more
about
the
revenue
and
balance
to
give
a
little
bit
of
grounding
on
those
revenue
sources
and
the
other
on
the
expenditure
side,
where
we
have
this
wonderful
urbanization
and
growth,
that's
occurring
in
the
city
and
that
will
require
more
new
and
enhanced
services.
So
that's
going
to
impact
that
expenditure
side
of
the
equation.
I
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide,
let
me
spend
a
minute
or
two
talking
about
our
revenue
pie
and
about
how
it
is
impacted.
So
you
kind
of
have
an
idea
of
why
we
kind
of
have
this
revenue
and
balance
at
the
city,
so
I'm
going
to
start
talking
from
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
page
on
that
five
pie
chart
we've
seen
it
several
times
in
the
past
over
time.
If
you
take
the
sales
tax,
that
is
the
five
major
components
of
the
general
fund.
I
I
I
So
over
the
past,
while
seven
eight
years,
we've
really
seen
this
economic
piece,
that's
happened
in
the
city.
Come
also
come
to
our
our
our
actual
revenue,
split
of
the
pie,
you'll
notice,
property
taxes
usually
runs
around
17
for
2023,
we're
forecasting
them
at
17
and
I'll
get
to
the
other
two
slices.
I
So,
let's
kind
of
head
over
to
the
bullet
points
on
the
right,
some
speaking
notes
to
talk
about
those
revenue
pieces
so,
first
of
all
sales
tax
right
now,
the
biggest
driver
of
our
sales
tax
growth
has
to
do
with
development
construction,
that's
happening
primarily
when
I
look
at
the
cranes
across
the
city
in
downtown
and
bell
red.
I
know
I
have
a
few
cranes
and
some
other
places
as
well,
but
I
primarily
see
them
in
downtown
and
bell
red
that
sales
tax
construction
makes
up
about
30
of
our
total
sales
tax.
I
The
last
piece
of
information
that
I
saw
coming
out
of
development
services
was,
I
believe,
2021
had
a
record
permit
year
of
something
like
1.4
ish
give
or
take
billion
dollars
in
permits.
That
is
a
big
number
and
that
driving
of
that
development
is
what's
bringing
one
time,
sales
tax
money
into
that
part
of
the
pie.
I
I
Retail
sales
is
kind
of
our
bread
and
butter
of
sales
tax
right.
That's
when
you
go
to
wherever
you
want
to
buy
and
buy
your
durable
goods,
you're,
going
to
buy
your
hats
and
your
coats
and
your
shoes
and
your
sofa
and
your
chairs
and
your
dining
room
set,
and
whatever
else
your
durable
goods
that
you're
purchasing
out
there
right
now.
Retail
sales
is
growing
at
about
four
percent
year
over
year,
and
that
is
actually
fantastic.
It's
higher
than
it's
been
in
the
past.
In
the
past,
it's
been
closer
to
three.
I
I
That
is
a
piece
of
the
pie
that
actually
grows
fairly
well
and
does
very
well
in
relation
to
our
expenditure
line.
We've
had
a
lot
of
new
business
come
into
the
city.
We've
had
a
just
expansion
of
existing
businesses,
so
that's
doing
well,
but
only
makes
up
17
of
my
total
revenue
pie
right.
So
here's
a
piece
that
does
well
against
my
expenditure
line,
and
yet
it
only
makes
up
17
property
taxes
a
little
less
again,
a
17
or
a
little
less
than
20
percent
property
taxes.
I
We
all
know
grow
at
one
percent,
with
council
approval,
plus
new
construction
when
I'm
looking
at
inflation
at
five.
Even
if
inflation
comes
in
at
three
property
tax
is
not
keeping
pace,
heading
up
to
miscellaneous
revenues,
I'm
going
to
skip
utility
taxes,
but
in
miscellaneous
revenues.
I
Primarily
they
come
in
around
cpi
or
the
rate
of
inflation,
so
it
pretty
much
matches
the
rate
of
inflation,
and
then
you
have
utility
taxes,
they're
based
on
rates
for
the
most
part-
and
I
would
say
in
the
last
decade,
they've
grown
anywhere
between
two
and
three
percent
annually,
and
that's
mainly
because
even
if
rates
have
increased,
we've
lost
landlines,
which
is
a
telephone
tax,
that's
kind
of
evaporating
and
we
also
have
the
issue
where
your
cell
phone
voice
packages-
I
don't
know
how
many
have
a
voice
package
left,
but
if
you
do,
that
is
taxable.
I
If
you
have
a
data
package
that
is
not
taxable
so
not
we're,
seeing
some
decreases
still
in
the
utility
taxes.
That's
holding
that
growth
rate
down
challenge
is.
As
I
look
at
our
revenue
pie.
We've
got
all
the
right
tools
in
the
toolbox
in
our
current
environment.
We're
really
struggling
to
have
them
perform
at
the
level
of
where
we're
seeing
our
expenditures,
growth
at
all
right.
I
Even
though
we
did
take
some
ongoing
reductions,
we
did
fairly
well
compared
to
some
of
our
other
cities
that
I've
seen.
We
also
had
the
one
percent
councilman
property
tax
and
fire
inspection
fees
were
implemented,
and
then,
on
the
expenditure
side,
we
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
working
with
employees
to
implement
some
out
your
strategies
to
impact
health
costs.
Next
slide,
please
pandemic
occurred
and
it
brought
us
an
opportunity
to
have
take
some
swift
action
to
balance
the
budget.
I
What
happened
in
the
2122
budget
is
we
actually
reduced
our
ongoing
costs
by
about
eight
million
dollars
in
total?
It
was
done
through
two
pieces.
First
is
cost
containment
everything
from
reductions
in
temporary
help
to
consultants
to
non-discretionary
travel
training
et
cetera?
You
named
the
line
item
and
it
probably
got
an
impact.
There
are
areas
across
the
city
that,
due
to
that
cost
containment
are
really
struggling
to
meet
their
surge
capacity.
They've
now
been
limited
in
their
ability
to
meet
that
surge
capacity.
That's
needed.
I
We
also
implemented
a
more
reactive
response
to
maintenance,
so
less
watering
and
mowing
of
certain
areas
of
the
city
parks
a
more
reactive
response
to
non-safety
repairs
that
need
to
be
made.
Those
all
happen,
you
add
those
things
together.
You
get
to
the
eight
million
dollars.
I
We
also
implemented
some
one-time
bridge
structures
and
we
had
some
modest
increase
in
revenues,
and
you
can
look
at
those
at
the
bottom
of
the
slide
next
slide.
Please!
So
where
does
that
leave
us?
It
leaves
us
with
a
forecast
that
starts
to
look
like
this
and
before
I
jump
in
and
talk
about
the
three
million
dollars
in
the
blue
line
and
the
green
line,
let
me
give
you
some
of
the
big
assumptions
this
four
or
five
big
assumptions
that
are
impacting
both
the
green
line
and
the
blue
line.
I
The
green
line
is
your
revenue
line.
The
blue
line
is
your
expenditure
line
and,
as
we've
been
talking
about,
we
knew
those
lines
were
going
to
cross,
and
this
is
probably
one
of
the
first
years
that
we're
saying
we're
starting
the
budget
process
in
a
deficit
position.
So
green
line
major
and
major
assumptions
in
the
green
line.
I
We're
also
saying
we're
going
to
continue
to
see
strong
b
o
taxes.
That's
still
going
to
continue
so
those
volatile,
our
more
volatile
revenue
sources
are
still
going
to
be
strong,
as
we
head
out
this
forecast
on
the
expenditure
side,
the
blue
line.
The
major
assumptions
are
that
we
have
included
fire
station
10
that
will
open
in
2023-ish
and
it
will
incur
some
ongoing
costs.
Some
of
those
costs
were
already
budgeted
in
2022.
I
The
rest
will
come
in
2023,
and
this
forecast
assumes
that
it
assumes
that
5
inflation
number
it
does
include
the
fact
that
our
21
22
cost
reductions
will
continue.
So
we've
already
included
those
in
that
blue
line.
The
blue
line
also
includes
a
modest
growth
and
when
I
mean
modest,
it's
like
a
0.3
percent
of
expenditures
modest,
and
it's
really
about
saying
there.
We
know
there
are
some
near-term
needs,
but
that
line
isn't
really
going
to
get
us
kind
of
the
extreme
growth
we're
seeing
in
this
extreme
needs
we're
seeing
across
the
city.
I
So
what
this
says
that
currently
we
are
starting
with
a
three
million
dollar
gap
in
2023
and
it
grows
as
you
look
at
the
gap
between
2024
and
2028.
If
we
do
nothing,
if
we
just
write
it
out
like
it
is,
we
think
that
gap
will
continue
to
just
widen
over
time
in
order
to
change
the
trajectory
of
that
gap,
not
one
of
the
lines
but
of
the
gap
itself.
I
The
choice
would
be
if
we
did
ongoing
actions
to
solve
that
23
budget
item.
If
we
made
ongoing
actions
so
either
we
decreased
expenditures
ongoing
or
increased
revenues
ongoing
by
3
million
dollars.
2024.
That
gap
between
that
you
see
in
24
would
decrease
by
3
million
because
it
was
ongoing.
Money
2025
would
decrease
by
3
million
and
you
could
go
up
the
line
saying
every
year
you
would
have
an
impact
of
3
million
dollars
if
you
took
ongoing
actions.
I
On
the
other
hand,
if
you
took
one
time
actions
and
we
solved
the
budget
process
with
a
series
of
one-time
actions
in
2023,
that
would
not
have
any
impact
on
the
trajectory
of
the
gap.
All
right,
I
know,
that's
slightly
complicated,
but
I
think
it's
important
as
we
talk
about
feedback
and
how
we
think
about
what's
important,
coming
forward,
we're
at
a
place
where
we
need
to
start
thinking
about
those
ongoing
actions
from
a
fiscal
sustainability
perspective.
I
As
I
mentioned,
the
blue
line
probably
does
not
have
enough
in
it
for
the
extreme
growth
that
we're
seeing.
So
what
staff
has
done
is
we
have
developed
two
scenarios
and
I'm
very
clear
that
they
are
scenarios
one
that
would
show
what
a
two
percent
increase
in
positions
would
look
like
and
one
that
would
be
a
four
percent
increase
in
positions
and
our
purpose
in
showing
this
is
just
to
show
the
impact
of
what
it
would
take.
And
how
does
that
change
the
gap?
So
evan?
Could
you
know
the
next
slide
please?
I
So
if
we
had
a
two
percent
change
in
our
fte
growth,
full-time
equivalent
or
position
growth,
it
would
add
about
19
positions
to
the
city
to
the
general
fund,
and
you
will
see
by
the
gray
line.
We
will
have
increased
the
blue
line
by
two
and
a
half
million
dollars,
and
the
gap
in
2023
would
turn
into
about
a
five
and
a
half
million
dollar
gap.
I
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
we
also
ran
a
series
of
numbers
out
to
four
percent.
So
if
you
wanted
to
add
another
two
percent
of
ftes
or
another
19
for
a
total
of
38
positions
over
the
blue
line,
we
would
now
add
another
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
and
our
total
gap
between
the
purple
line
and
the
green
line
would
be
eight
million
dollars.
I
So,
as
we
talk
about
the
growth
of
the
city
and
what's
important,
the
more
we
add,
this
is
the
bigger
the
gap
we're
going
to
be
able
to
solve.
Our
purpose
here
was
really
to
show
for
context
what
increases
to
respond
to
the
extreme
growth
would
look
like.
We
chose
these
two
scenarios
primarily
because
they
didn't
really
seem,
as
proxies
out
of
the
realm
of
possibilities
when
we're
talking
about
the
the
impact
and
the
feedback
we've
received
from
the
community
regarding
public
safety
planning
initiatives
and
all
the
other
related
internal
infrastructure.
I
That
would
be
needed
to
support
those
things.
So,
as
we
are
thinking
about
how
we
move
forward,
thinking
about
where
that
blue
line
needs
to
go,
will
impact
our
the
gap
that
we're
talking
about
again.
It's
a
scenario
it's
to
provide
context
and
information.
We
are
not
suggesting
one
way
or
the
other,
it's
purely
for
context
and
information.
I
I
So
as
we're
talking
about
the
balance,
the
the
the
financial
deficits
we'll
see
this
year,
those
are
kind
of
the
choices
ahead
of
us.
I've
got
slides
on
each
of
those
and
we'll
hit
them
pretty
quickly,
reducing
expenditures.
I
think
any
remaining
choices
will
be
challenging
and
difficult
and
the
trade-offs
will
be
difficult.
I'm
not
sure
that
there's
any
easy
decisions
ahead
of
anybody
this
year,
but
expenditure
reductions
will
be
difficult.
The
forecast
continues
to
take
those
21,
22
reductions
that
are
already
in
place.
I
We
know
we
have
growing
needs
of
the
community
and
maybe
we'll
get
lucky
and
inflation
will
come
in
less
than
everyone
is
forecasting.
If
not,
it
will
just
make
the
gap
bigger.
So
reducing
expenditures
is
one
option
to
think
about.
How
do
we
bring
that
gap
to
zero?
The
other
option
we
have,
which
is
just
as
challenging,
there's
no
easy
answers
here
either,
which
would
be
to
increase
revenues
for
operations
again.
No
easy
answers.
I
We've
split
this
slide
into
two
buckets
one
that
looks
at
things
that
are
already
in
place
that
councilmanically
can
be
adjusted
because
they're
already
in
place
and
those
things
that
might
be
new.
You
can
see
the
the
list
here.
There
are
several
others
that
are
just
that
are
smaller
items
that
are
in
the
among
others,
and
if
you
would
like
me
to
go
through
those,
I
certainly
can
again.
I
No
easy
answers
a
challenging
place
to
be,
but
increased
revenues
is
another
option
and
the
third
option
which
we
talked
about
is
to
use
fund
balance.
Yet
again,
it's
one-time
funding,
and
so
it
doesn't
like
create
a
sustainable
path,
for
us
might
buy
us
some
time,
but
it
doesn't
really
create
a
long-term,
sustainable
path.
This
is
our
ending
fund
balance.
The
books
haven't
closed
yet
for
2021.
I
they're,
just
cleaning
them
up
now.
I
expect
them
to
close
in
the
next.
I
don't
know
weak-ish,
maybe
less.
I
don't
think
these
numbers
are
grossly
wrong.
So
again,
if
we
do
nothing,
we
bleed
reserves
over
time.
When
we
take
actions,
we
change
the
trajectory
of
that
ending
fund
balance,
so
our
feedback,
we're
looking
for
this
evening,
is,
as
we
set
up
a
discussion
around.
How
do
we
think
about
bringing
back
a
balanced
preliminary
budget?
Do
you
have
feedback?
Do
you
have
questions?
I
Do
you
have
actual
actions
for
consideration
for
the
city
manager
so
mayor?
I
turn
this
back
over
to
you
all
right.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
going
to
go
through
the
list.
The
same
list
I
had
before,
starting
with
council
member
barksdale,
followed
by
councilmember
lee
stokes
and
deputy
mayor
noon,
house.
K
All
right,
thank
you
mayor.
I
really
appreciate
the
overview.
I
guess
my
only
I
I'm
taking
in
the
information.
I
really
appreciate
the
list
of
options.
I
don't
have
a
formula
yet
that
I
that
I
have
in
mind,
but
I
did
have
one
question
tony
that
you
might
remember
when
I
right
before
joining
council,
I
had
a
question
around
the
role
of
nightlife
and,
as
I
looked
up,
the
the
economic
benefit
or
fiscal
impact
for
larger
cities,
of
course,
which
I
know
aren't
necessarily
comparable.
K
I
mean
new
york
city
from
2016,
had
35.1
billion
in
total
economic
output
and
dc
had
562
million
dollars
in
fiscal
impact,
and
so
I
guess
I'm
curious
not
for
tonight,
but
just
what
that
might
look
like,
and
I
don't
know
if
it
fits
into
one
of
these
options-
I
wasn't
quite
sure
which
one
it
might
fit
in,
but
I
feel
like
that,
especially
as
we're
starting
to
get
back
out
what
that
might
look
like
and
how
that
might
fit
into
the
list
of
options.
I
guess
the
other.
K
The
question
I
do
have
is
given
the
current
tools
that
we
have,
and
you
said,
they're
not
really
performing
as
we
need
them
to
keep
up
at
least
keep
up
with
inflation
if
there
are
any
benchmark
cities
and
not
for
tonight
necessarily.
But
if,
if
we
could
look
at
how
other
cities
are
what
policies
that
we
might
consider.
I
Good
feedback
council
member
barksdale-
thank
you
for
that.
I
will
do
some
thinking
on
the
nightlife
issue.
Currently
from
my
memory
in
2021
about
of
our
sales
tax
that
came
in
the
door,
less
than
10
percent
was
for
food
and
accommodations,
which
is
where
I
think
I'd
see
that
in
my
nightlife
impact
I'm
getting
a
knotting
of
the
head
from
evan,
so
I've
got
to
be
close,
so
it
was
less
than
10
percent
it
that
was
in
2021.
We
should
go
back
to
2019
and
see
what
that
percentage
was
back.
Pre
pandemic.
I
I
would
suggest,
and
nightlife
would
impact
both
sales
tax
and
business
and
occupation
tax
primarily
is
where
we'd
see
that
come
in.
I
certainly
can
do
some
thinking
on
that.
As
for
benchmark
cities,
I
will
certainly
go
out
and
do
some
looking
one
of
the
challenges.
I
think
we
as
the
city
of
bellevue
might
have
is
that
we
are
a
very
fast-growing
city
within
the
state
of
washington,
with
our
tax
laws
that
we
have
here.
So
I'll
have
to
do
some
thinking.
On
that.
That's
a
very
good
question.
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
B
C
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
a
very
challenging
presentation
and
perspective.
You
know,
based
on
current
tools
that
we
use.
I
think
this
is
a
time
for
innovation.
C
Like
we
talk
about
and
government,
it
needs
to
also
innovate.
Traditionally,
you
know
we
are
not.
We
don't
so
we're
looking
for
tools,
other
cities
that
may
have
other
examples
like
you
know,
council
member
box
they
mentioned
you
know,
so
we
need
to
look
at
what
tools
other
people
use
and
also
that's
just
any
tool
that
I
believe
the
tool
has
to
be
applicable
to
our
city.
Right
I
mean
this
is
what
we
are
able
to
influence
the
the
people
either
living
here
or
coming
here.
C
Who
are
here,
and
so
we
need
to
do
something.
That's
not
traditional,
and
I
don't
believe
that
you
know
the
government
is
the
answer
for
everything
either,
but
we're
seeing
that
happening.
You
know
amazon
is
coming
and
they
have
other
major
corporations
and
they're
doing
well
very
well,
and
they
are.
C
I
don't
want
to
use
the
word
profiting
from
us,
but
they
are
a
part
of
our
city
that
provide
them
with
their
ability
to
grow
right
and
and
when
they
do,
they
cannot
just
take
the
profit
and
just
pocket
it
in
and
just
go
away.
C
Traditionally,
revenue
is
what
we
got
and
expenditure
keep
on
changing,
keep
on
growing,
because
our
lifestyle
change
the
people
change
our
needs
change.
Our
community
is
changing,
so
we
need
to
be
looking
at
how
and
where
do
we
gonna
get
the
revenue
more
creatively,
not
just
depending
on
traditional,
you
know,
whatever
we
have
described
sales
for
property
or
utility,
whatever
it's
got
to
be,
you
know
really
creative.
So
I
think
we
need
to
explore
that.
C
We
really
need
to
that's
one
thing,
but
but
not
just
based
on
the
cities
not
based
on
just
the
residents.
You
know
who
who
have
to
be
taxed,
but
there
are
other
ways.
So
what
is
it?
I
think
we
need
to
expose
at
least
think
about
it.
At
least
we
need
to
conversate
converse
with
them.
We
need
to
have
a
conversation,
okay,
that
has
to
be
done
in
the
that's
the
revenue
side
in
the
expenditure
side,
I
think
we
also
need
to
be
more.
The
same
thing
same
thing:
our
patent,
a
change.
C
C
We
need
to
look
at
matrix
data
information,
see
it's
relevant
to
our
city,
and
how
does
it
you
know
the
the
we
have
to
generate
pay
for
the
things
that
we
are
prone
to
to
to
to
need
to
to
have
the
expenditure
to
cover
those
things,
and
I
think
that's
what
the
german
mayor
was
talking
about
to
success
sustainability
to
sustain.
We
have
to
know
what
is
going
to
be
the
norm.
C
C
Cooperation
with
everybody
who
has
a
role
has
a
stake
in
our
city,
so
I
think
this
is
what
we
really
need
to
do
over
the
long
term,
but
of
course,
there's
a
short
term
situation.
Well,
that's
something
we
have
to
also
respond,
but
so
there
are
two
pieces
of
it,
but
I
think
for
the
long
run,
we
really
need
to
do
those
things.
I
was
just
hoping.
C
D
Yeah
very
interesting:
I
appreciate
councilmember
lee's
kind
of
coverage
there
I
it's
too
bad.
We
can't
go
back
and
pick
up
those
six
or
so
years
and
one
percent
that
we
left
on
the
table
years
ago,
but
things
as
he
indicated.
Things
have
changed
and
I
think
what
is
you
know.
The
dilemma
is
we're
we're
trying
to
play
ketchup
and
it's
kind
of
a
you
know
chicken
in
the
egg
type
thing,
and
I
think
that
I'm
you
know
we
can
talk
a
lot
about.
D
We
get
into
the
theories
and
all
this,
but
what
you've
laid
out
is
very
good,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
questions,
of
course,
that
have
to
go
along
to
that.
That's
why
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
more
sessions,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
the
trouble
is
in
this
is
that
how
do
we
keep
up
with
development
and
it's
it's
difficult,
particularly
with
our
constraints
and
in
taxes
and
everything
else.
D
We're
not
actually
set
up
to
be
a
very
to
really
be
a
great
successful
city
or
government.
Because
of
the
way
the
tax
structure
is
so
we
have
to
work
with
that,
and
we
have
to
be,
I
think,
more
yeah.
We
do
have
to
work
more
with
the
with
our
companies
coming
in,
because
again,
development
doesn't
pay
for
itself
at
least
certainly
not
for
a
long
time.
D
So
we
have
all
these
problems.
I
think,
though,
that
we're
on
the
right
path
of
this-
and
I
appreciate
this
and
finding
doing
innovation,
finding
ways
to
get
generate
more
income
and,
as
I
said
this,
this
playing
catch-up
is
always
so
difficult
and
the
dilemma
we
have
is
based
on
the
opportunities
and
the
great
possibilities
in
front
of
us
that
we
have
in
order
to
get
there.
We
have
to
be
performed
very
high
as
a
city,
and
we
can't
keep
cutting
back
on.
D
You
know
cutting
the
the
weeds
on
the
road
we
can't
cut
back
on
providing
services,
because
that's
and
being
a
city
that
is
really
offering
all
of
these
things
up
is
the
reason
we're
getting
all
these
people
here.
So
it's
it's
a
circular
thing
and
we're
not
we're
kind
of
behind
the
the
the
movement
on
this.
D
But
I
think
what
we're
setting
up-
and
I
think,
what's
gonna,
be
interesting
in
the
conversations
we
go
along
is
we're
we're
actually
talking
about
looking
at
ways
to
to
utilize
and
to
get
more
leveraged
out
of
our
funding
and
the
things
we
do,
the
creative
economies
we've
talked
about.
Yes,
we
we
need
more
nightlife.
We
need
more
things
going
on
in
bellevue
that
get
people
here
to
spend
money
and
to
come
to
bellevue
and
playing
catch-up
with.
D
That
is
always
difficult
because
you
have
to
put
investments
in
to
you
have
to
invest
before
you
can
get
returns,
and
so
it's
it's
it's
a
real
conundrum
in
a
sense,
but
I
think
overall,
I
really
I
like
the
approach
and
I
think
we're
going
the
right
direction.
I
I
hope
we
get
more
information
on
exactly
what
some
of
these
these
overall
themes
are,
are
what
they're
costing?
How
can
we
be?
D
How
can
we
balance
things
better
and
how
can
we
continue
to
have
a
a
strong,
forward-looking
focus
in
in
our
providing
services
and
the
government
and
the
way
the
city
goes
at
the
same
time
actually
be
able
to
pay
for
that?
Because
if
we
can't
do
those
things,
we're
not
going
to
have
any
more
money
money's
not
going
to
come
in
if
we're
not
providing
the
services,
people
want.
D
Yeah,
so
I
think
that's
the
the
big
combination
thing
we
have
to
look
at
and
again
I'm
looking
forward
to
your
as
we
move
down
these
pieces
on
that,
but
I
want
to
keep
that
in
mind.
We
have
a
great
opportunity,
great
future.
How
are
we
going
to
pay
for
it?
Thank.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
great
comments
so
far
and
I'll
try
to
say
within
the
three
minutes,
but
certainly
about
a
question.
So
first
I'd
like
to
go
back
just
for
a
second
and
I'll.
Ask
all
my
questions
up
front
and
then
allow
the
answers
to
come
after
that
on
the
inflation
rate.
E
I'm
just
curious
if
there
are
any
actions
that
we
took
or
any
key
learnings
that
we
might
want
to
consider
now
that
have
not
been
discussed
so
far
since
we
have
been
in
a
similar
circumstance
once
before.
That's
that's
one
question
and
then
also
I'm
wondering
also
tony
some
of
the
assumptions
that
are
being
made
in
terms
of
this
forecast
as
well.
I
look
back
at
the
city
of
seattle,
for
example,
and
from
like
2012
to
2018.
E
Now,
why
is
that?
I'm
not
sure
it
could
be
somewhat
of
a
of
an
effect
of
first
the
jobs
came
high-tech
explosion.
E
Then
a
lot
of
the
ancillary
services
came
on
top
of
that
you
know
all
the
services.
You
know
the
restaurants,
the
bars
the
dry
cleaning,
maybe
even
the
nightlife
as
well.
E
So
is
it
possible-
and
I
and
again
going
back
to
your
assumptions
tony
that
some
of
these
things-
maybe
you're
not
being
quite
as
aggressive
enough
if
we
could
be
kind
of
in
a
what's
a
good
example
kind
of
like
south
lake
union,
for,
for
example,
where
we
saw
a
complete
explosion
of
a
of
a
complete
like
ecosystem
to
serve
not
only
just
amazon
but
all
of
those
businesses
in
that
area.
E
Do
you
potentially
see
that
same
type
of
equation
here
in
in
bellevue,
but
I'd
love
to
to
understand
a
little
bit
more
in
terms
of
the
assumptions
being
made
and
then
finally,
I
think
it'd
just
be
great.
If
we
can
make
a
commitment
as
a
council
to
try
and
get
away
as
much
as
possible
from
the
one-time
funding
sources,
I
think
that's
really
going
to
behoove
us
as
we
move
forward.
Yes,
I
think
those
are
great
things
to
utilize
if
we
go
through
extreme
emergencies
or
a
pandemic.
E
Obviously
you
know-
and
I
think
we
should
rightly
use
them
during
that
time,
but
I
think,
as
a
city,
we
should
try
to
as
much
as
possible
get
away
from
dipping
in
consistently
into
those
contingency
funds
unless
absolutely
necessary.
That
might
not
happen
during
this
budget
process,
but
certainly
I'd
like
to
see
it
as
as
a
goal.
So
I'm
almost
on
my
three
minutes
so
I'll
stop
there
and
allow
you
to
answer.
Thank
you.
I
E
Yeah,
that
was
from
2012
to
2018.
2018.
I
I
will
go
back
and
do
some
research
on
the
city
of
seattle.
I
do
know
they
implemented
a
few
new
taxes
during
that
time,
like
the
soda
top
tax
and
whatnot,
but
I'll
go
back
and
do
some
research
into
what
was
there,
because
I
think
that's
an
important
piece.
So,
but
let's
talk
about
the
other
two
questions
that
I
think
I
can't
have
a
better
chance
answering
the
inflation
rate
and
we
get
any
key
learnings
evan.
I
I
So
here's
the
inflation
chart
so
what
we
have
historically
seen,
at
least
in
the
last
30
years,
and
I
think
we
could
go
back
further,
I'm
sure
and
find
some
other
trends,
but
at
least
in
the
last
30
years,
which
I
think
is
fairly
recent.
When
we've
had
a
super
high
inflation,
which
you
saw
in
2008,
we
went
down
to
zero
or
very
low
inflation
the
following
years.
So
it's
a
little
different
environment
that
we're
in
today.
I
So
I
tell
you
and
gosh-
I
don't
want
to
date
myself
too
heavily
here,
but
I
was
trying
to
you
know,
purchase
that
first
house
back
in
the
early
80s,
and
at
that
point
inflation
was
not
too
far
off
what
we're
seeing
right.
Now
it
was
up
in
the
six.
It's
pretty
really
really.
You
know
for
those
of
you
who
might
remember
that
it
was
up
in
that
same
spot.
I
The
only
challenge
was
is
at
the
same
time,
interest
rates
at
that
time
were
also
really
high,
because
I
was
looking
at
a
10
fixed
year
mortgage
back
in
that
time
frame
to
buy
that
first
home
that
I
was
trying
to
buy
here.
We've
got
a
different
situation,
and
this
is
just
one
again,
I'm
sitting
in
uncharted
territory,
which
I'm
relying
on
the
economists
that
are
a
whole
lot
smarter
than
I
to
help
kind
of
chart.
I
That
course
a
bit
here
we'll
look
at
an
environment
where
inflation
is
back
up
in
the
sixes,
and
yet
our
interest
rates
are
still
our
30-year
mortgage
rate
is
still
somewhere
around
the
threes,
so
the
fed's
going
to
have
to
step
in
at
some
point
and
help
us
out
as
to
what
that
looks,
like
that's
a
little
beyond
my
skill
set
as
to
how
we
would
think
about
that.
So
lessons
learned,
I
think
the
sad
part
is
we're
in
a
little
uncharted
territory
again.
So
it's
something
we're
going
to
have
to
watch.
I
I
am
hopeful
that
something
good
will
happen
in
the
next
couple
months
and
bring
that
star
of
five
percent
down
closer
to
four.
That
would
be
the
ultimate
good
news.
When
I
look
at
kind
of
where
we
are
with
the
ukraine
and
the
the
global
fuel.
That's
out
there,
I'm
not
sure,
I'm
quite
seeing
it
yet,
but
so
I
think
that's
kind
of
the
inflationary
question
it's
more
of
a
a
long
story
of
history
than
it
is
a
actually
lessons
learned
when
it
comes
to
the
assumptions
we've
got
in
the
forecast.
I
We
worked
really
hard
on
our
sales
tax,
primarily
and
our
b
o
to
really
have
those
reflect
the
growth
we're
seeing
right
now
I
mean
we're
back
to
our
pre-pandemic
levels
coming
out
of
2021,
so
we're
back
to
those
2019
plus
levels
that
we
saw
back
then.
So
that's
really
great
news.
I
We're
still
assuming
this
really
strong
development,
that's
occurring
in
downtown
and
bellred
we're
not
seeing
a
a
pullback
of
that
area,
so
those
we're
still
seeing
fairly
strong
and
we're
still
continuing
to
see
b,
o
growth
running
in
the
five
to
six
percent.
Year-Over-Year
growth
again
super
strong,
those
two
most
volatile
revenue
assumptions.
What
it
doesn't
include
is
some
sort
of
a
new
tax
or
something
in
there.
So
we
are
looking.
I
I
I
think
I
would
tell
you
that
I
feel
really
confident
in
our
out
year
numbers
and,
if
anything
might
be
a
tad
on
the
aggressive
side.
When
I
look
at
my
neighboring
cities,
I
usually
bring
you
a
chart
for
that,
and
I
did
not
bring
that
to
you
tonight,
but
I
will
certainly
bring
that
to
you
in
the
future
to
help
answer
that
question.
I
L
L
I
was
just
thinking
that
we
are
all
on
the
same
boat
that
we
are
in
uncharted
territory,
where
we're
going
to
have
to
figure
out
how
to
lead
amongst
the
uncertainty
of
what
is
the
inflation
we
should
be
carrying.
You
know
the
the
construction
market
just
released
their
quarterly
projections,
and
you
know
it
they.
L
They
are
polishing
that
that
magic
ball,
trying
to
figure
out
projections,
but
right
now
there's
a
lot
of
uncertainty,
whether
it's
domestic
or
the
war
in
europe
and
how
it
might
impact
overall
supply
chain,
as
well
as
labor
shortages.
L
I
like
comments
made
already
about
benchmarking,
other
cities,
looking
at
what
they're
doing
and
then,
when
I
think
about
the
discussion
about
how
we
increase
revenue,
reduce
expenses
and
then
the
the
reserve
really
thinking
of
the
reserve
from
the
standpoint
of
if
there
are
spaces
where
we
can
leverage
that,
on
a
short-term
basis,
for
a
longer-term
gain
where,
by
spending
some
dollars
early,
we
actually
are
able
to
be
proactive.
So
we
can
spend
less
later.
I
think
being
able
to
look
at
that.
I
love
the
discussion
about
innovation
leveraging
technology.
L
I
wonder
in
our
smart
city
initiative
and
plans
what
else
is
in
there
that
we
haven't
already
implemented
from
maybe
doing
more
with
with
data
and
data
analytics,
so
that
we
can
hopefully
deploy
our
staff
to
be
so
that
their
work
can
be
informed
by
the
the
data
and
a
little
less.
You
know
manual
type
of
work
that
we
might
have
to
do
because
the
data
systems
are
in
place.
L
I'm
also
wondering
whether
there's
more
we
could
be
doing
with
grants
or
low-cost
loans
like
the
tiffias.
What
other
p3
public-private
partnerships
may
still
be
out
there,
whether
it's
partnering
at
the
local
state
national
level,
with
our
business
partners
locally?
L
It
sure
seems
as
though
we're
all
in
this
together
and
to
the
degree
we
can
look
at.
Where
are
those
targeted
spaces
where
we
can
put
some
of
our
money
in,
but
we
can
amplify
and
grow
the
impact
of
those
dollars,
because
we're
able
to
find
partners
that
are
interested
in
the
same
outcomes
we're
trying
to
do,
and
where
are
those
things.
So
I
think
we've
identified
a
lot
of
the
threats
and
I'd
like
us
to
talk
to
really
look
at
well.
Where
are
those
opportunities?
L
Maybe
in
those
surveys
and
the
feedback
and
the
outreach
there
are
some
other
opportunities
we
can
find
for
using
our
money
to
amplify
it
to
to
do
more.
So
I
I
think
we
will
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
more
meetings
and
not
less
so
that
we
really
understand
as
a
council.
What
are
all
those
options
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
that
the
tough
choices
are
we.
L
We
clearly
heard
the
the
needs
outpace
the
resources
and
the
revenue,
so
how
much
more
money
do
we
need
by
when
and
then
how
it's
going
to
be
funded?
Who
pays
for?
It
will
be
those
tough
conversations
and
we
just
finished
talking
about
the
equity
lens.
So
how
do
we
make
sure
that,
when
we're
making
those
decisions,
we're
really
mindful
of
where
those
revenues
are
coming
from?
So
thank
you.
M
Thank
you
good
conversation,
so
I
I
really
appreciate
deputy
mayor's
request
for
asking
for
that
benchmark
information
from
seattle
who
went
through
the
growth,
but
we
are
just
starting
to
be
at
the
start
of
the
bubble.
M
If
you
will
and
to
see
what
happened,
because
we
know
that
when
you're
adding
a
lot
of
jobs,
I
mean
we
have
the
the
growth
in
the
terms
of
construction,
which
is
one-time
money
construction
of
projects,
but
when
you're
adding
a
lot
of
jobs,
the
spin-off
businesses
that
come
from
that
and
the
economic
development
that
comes
from
that
it.
M
It
does
two
things:
it
increases
revenue
into
the
city,
the
county,
the
state,
but
it
also
increases
the
need
for
services,
as
we
have
more
people
downtown
and
belrad
and
elsewhere
needing
making
wanting
to
make
sure
that
people
stay
safe,
that
our
roads
stay
in
good
shape.
That
are.
You
know
that
we
can
make
sure
that
you
know
there's
space
for
people
so
having
some
really
specific
historic
data.
M
On
that
point,
I
think
will
help
tony
you're
always
so
good
at
forecasting,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
maybe
a
more
targeted
forecast
basis.
This
time,
because
although
I've
been
on
the
council,
when
we've
had
down
budgets,
this
is
we're
having
this
budget
gap
while
we're
in
the
midst
of
a
substantial
growth-
and
I
don't
think
we've
been
in
that
exact
position
at
least
recently,
so
I
think
getting
those
those
forecasts
would
be
really
really
good.
M
I
do
agree
with
the
comment
that
we
should
never
use
one-time
money,
for
you
know
ongoing
programs.
I
think
that
that's
really
wise-
we've
talked
about
that
before
you
don't
ever
use
one-time
money,
for
example,
to
fund
ftes.
M
So
I
I
agree
with
that,
but
the
one-time
money,
whether
it's
an
extraordinary
reit
year,
extraordinary
sales
tax
year
or
arpa
funds,
the
arba
funds.
Of
course
we
want
to
take
care
of
the
people,
but
they
said
that
we
have
one-time
money,
I'd
like
to
leverage
it
in
a
way
that
creates
more
economic
activity
that
will
help
fund
future
services
for
the
city.
M
So,
for
example,
you
know
the
the
my
favorite
project,
the
swimming
pool
project,
the
the
aquatic
center
would,
and
I'm
not
saying
we're
going
to
fund
that
with
one-time
money
today,
but
just
as
an
example,
because
I
have
that
data
off
my
head
off
the
top
of
my
head,
so
that
would
create
all
these
hotel
rooms.
I
think
it
was
like
what
10
000
hotel
room
nights
a
year.
It
would
create
25
or
30
million
dollars
in
economic
activity.
M
All
of
that
is
a
part
of
all
that
economic
activity
comes
into
the
city's
coffers.
So
comparing
the
spin-off
of
all
these
jobs,
the
spin-off
of
any
investments
we
make
in
capital
projects,
the
economic
activity
and
the
revenue
as
well
as
the
cost,
I
think,
is
going
to
be
really
really
important.
So,
and
I
I
think
council
members
on
talked
about
that
is,
how
do
we
leverage
the
money?
How
do
we
do
public
private
partnerships
in
the
last
down?
M
Turn
is
when
we
did
we,
we
took
out
some
bonding
and
we
did
some
projects
because
at
that
time,
unlike
right
now
they
were
cheap
to
do
cheaper
to
do
and
we
could
leverage
that
money.
The
money
was,
the
interest
rates
were
so
low,
the
projects
were
really
low
and
we
could
get
a
lot
of
that
stuff
done
and
that
actually
helped
pave
the
way,
literally
and
figuratively,
for
the
growth
that
we're
seeing
today,
so
how
to
best
use
the
money
for
capital.
But
of
course,
general
fund
is
what
we're
talking
about
here.
M
I
I
believe
the
answer
is
yes,
but
one
question
is:
does
the
blue
line
assume
all
of
the
new
employees
that
we're
going
to
need
to
staff
fire
station
10,
and
I
think
the
answer
is
yes?
Yes,.
M
That
would
be
one
that
would
be
general
funds,
so
there's
different
types
of
revenue,
sources
that
are
capital,
there's
some
that
are
general
fund,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
all
of
them,
but
my
first
choice
is
to
figure
out
how
we
can
leverage
the
growth
and
use
that
to
fund
our
services
rather
than
just
going
first
to
new
revenue,
but
we're
going
to
need
to
have
everything
on
the
table
as
well
as
some
really
really
good
data
and
forecasting
that's
much
more
specific
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
I
B
You
I
appreciate
that.
Okay,
I'm
gonna,
make
my
comment
and
then
we'll
take
a
ten
minute
break.
So
I
you
know,
as
as
inflation
increases,
it
probably
will
and
as
our
housing
needs
increase.
I
really
think
we
should
be
looking
at
bonding
our
house
bill
1590
money
to
help
us
pay
for
those
emerging
needs
as
they
come
along,
because
that
will
provide
us
with
quite
a
bit
of
funding
to
address
that
and
hopefully
save
us
money
in
the
long
term.
I
really
do.
B
I
was
very
proud
of
the
fact
that
we
didn't
touch
our
reserves
until
we
really
had
to,
and
they
were
there
for
us
because
of
that
reason,
so
I'm
in
support
of
reserving
our
reserves
but
taking
opportunities
when
we
can-
and
I
think
house
bill
50
90
is
a
great
opportunity
for
us.
So
those
are
my
comments
and
I
think
it
is
7
27.
We
will
meet
back
here
at
7
37.
B
We
have
a
quorum.
Would
you
like
to
continue
tony
with
your
presentation.
I
So
a
quick
check
in
our
agenda,
so
here's
where
we
are
on
our
evening.
We
have
a
short
capital
investment
update
for
you.
This
will
be
a
fairly
short
item.
It's
basically
talking
about
the
criteria
that
we'll
be
using
to
make
some
decisions
and
how
much
money
we're
currently
seeing
available
for
the
for
the
new
two
new
years
in
the
cip
years,
28
and
29,
and
then
we'll
be
turning
the
presentation
over
to
michael
shiasaki
to
talk
about
parks,
long-range
capital
planning.
J
All
right
so,
as
tony
said
this
next
section,
we
are
going
to
be
going
through
the
anticipated
cip
process
and
criteria
for
2023
and
2024..
As
has
been
the
case
in
previous
sections
of
tonight's
presentation.
We
are
seeking
feedback
on
the
criteria,
specifically
as
a
reminder.
The
general
cip
includes
major
capital
investments
for
neighborhood
parks,
new
facilities,
like
fire
station
10,
major
planning
processes
like
the
comprehensive
plan
update
and
infrastructure
projects
like
transportation's
overlay
program,
as
well
as
vision,
zero.
J
The
current
2021
2027
cip,
totals
approximately
662
million
dollars
in
expenditures
over
the
life
of
the
seven
year
period,
so
just
some
context
there
in
terms
of
what
we're
talking
about
and
the
magnitude
of
what
we're
talking
about
so
much
like
general
fund
operations,
the
city's
general
cip
is
facing
similar
economic
pressures
as
a
refresher.
The
cip
is
a
seven
year
capital
investment
plan
that
is
updated
every
two
years
during
during
the
city's
budget
development
process.
J
J
J
The
second
call
on
this
revenue
is
for
ongoing
maintenance
for
city
infrastructure
and
assets,
and
again
this
is
city
policy
that
states
that
we
will
commit
to
maintain
the
existing
infrastructure
that
we
have
before
we
decide
to
build
anything
new,
so
that
is
city
policy
as
well.
And
finally,
the
last
call
on
revenues
is
for
the
continuation
of
any
existing
council
approved
projects,
so
without
specific
guidance
from
council.
J
We
don't
remove
a
project,
as
has
been
past
practice,
to
include
these
existing
projects
in
the
two
new
years
that
we
add
in
the
capital
investment
plan,
so
after
being
filtered
through
these
three
steps
of
our
waterfall
process.
The
remainder
of
the
tax
dollars
anticipated
can
be
allocated
to
new
projects.
J
So
what
does
this
look
like
in
pers
in
practice?
Really
so
walking
through
those
same
waterfall
steps?
You
could
look
at
the
pie
chart
on
the
right
side
of
your
screen
going
clockwise,
so
taking
that
first
28
of
revenues
for
debt
service,
followed
by
ongoing
maintenance
before
our
levy
and
discrete
projects
and
before
arriving
at
our
unallocated
resource
portion,
based
on
our
best
estimates
today,
and
as
I
was
saying
from
the
inflation
conversation
earlier
today-
is
a
relative
term.
This
is
the
best
estimate
that
we
have
on
this
given
night.
J
Obviously,
the
economic
uncertainty
that
we
talked
through
earlier
applies
to
this
available
resource
amount
and
with
all
the
uncertainty
that
comes
with
our
conversations
earlier.
However,
this
this
amount
does
not
anticipate
any
new
grant
or
stimulus
funding
that
may
be
awarded
to
the
city
during
this
time
period,
so
the
city
will
work
to
make
itself
competitive
for
these
dollars
that
might
offset
existing
revenue
streams.
But
this
plan
does
not
assume
an
outcome
for
what
are
often
very
competitive
grant
processes.
J
So
you
will
also
notice
that
our
real
size,
real
estate
excise
tax,
also
known
as
reit,
is
coming
in
strong
at
about
20
million
dollars
above
budget
for
2021.
So,
as
a
result,
the
total
amount
of
unallocated
money
that
we
have
during
this
process
is
really
closer
to
65
million
dollars.
So
while
this
will
bolster
parks
and
transportation
projects
in
the
near
term,
this
revenue
source
is
very
volatile
and
it
limits
the
city's
ability
to
accurately
project
reit
revenues
over
the
life
of
the
seven
year,
cip.
J
So
long
story
short,
the
resource
constrained,
cip,
will
take
careful,
prioritization
and
balancing,
and
that's
where
we're
hoping
to
get
some
feedback
tonight
is
really
the
criteria
for
that
balancing.
So
for
that,
balancing
to
take
place,
staff
has
previously
worked
with
the
following
criteria
and
are
asked
tonight.
Is
that
is
this
still?
Is
this
list
still
accurate?
Is
this
still
the
priorities
and
the
criteria
that
we
should
have
is
there
anything
missing?
Is
there
anything
that
we
would
like
to
tweak
we're
looking
for
feedback
in
this
area?
J
Specifically,
so
first
staff
looks
at
whether
new
or
existing
projects
are
effective
at
achieving
the
goals
within
the
city's
mission,
strategic
target
areas
and
council
priorities.
In
short,
do
these
projects
achieve
the
results
that
are
desired?
We
also
look
at
whether
projects
have
mandates
for
new
requirements
set
by
regulation
or
law
at
the
state
or
federal
level.
J
We
also
look
at
financial
factors
to
determine
whether
a
project
is
able
to
leverage
other
funds
or
avoid
potential
costs,
and
we
look
at
the
cost
benefit
scenarios
and
whether
or
not
a
project
is
set
up
for
financial
success
in
the
long
term.
Is
it
sustainable?
In
short,
there
are
also
questions
about
timing
and
urgency.
Is
a
project
ripened
enough
to
be
included
in
the
cip
plant,
and
is
it
the
best
use
of
funding
compared
to
other
projects
that
are
currently
in
the
queue?
And
finally,
the
last
piece
of
our
criteria?
J
Is
we
look
at
the
level
of
service
provided,
and
is
this
the
right
project
at
the
right
time?
So
cadence
is
an
important
factor
that
we
have
as
well.
So
these
are
the
criteria
again
tonight
we
are
just
looking
for
some
feedback
about
whether
this
is
the
correct
list,
if
there's
anything
missing
for
our
23-24
cip
process
going
forward
that
we
can
take
away
from
this
conversation,
so
I
may
or
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
B
Hey,
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
gonna
do
our
list
in
reverse
order,
starting
with
me-
and
I
actually
don't
have
a
comment
on
this
right
now.
I
have
to
think
more
about
it.
So
I'll
go
to
councilmember
robertson.
M
Thanks
so
no,
I
don't
really
have
any
questions
or
comments.
I
think
that
what
you
have
set
up
looks
pretty
good.
I
definitely
would
like
to.
We
are
going
to
need
to
make
sure
that
we
know
as
we
move
along,
because
not
all
colors
of
money
are
the
same,
so
reit
can
only
be
used
for
certain
things.
We
want
to
know
what
it
can
be
used
for,
as
we
are
appropriating
that
I
do
think.
M
Reach
should
be
used
for
things
that
are
more
of
the
quality
of
life,
because
that
money
comes
in
from
big
real
estate
sales,
which
then
bring
in
new
people
and
employees
into
the
city,
so
those
quality
of
life
things
probably
should
be
what's
funded
by
that
to
make
the
lives
of
the
people
that
are
living
and
working
here,
a
little
bit
better.
So
thanks.
L
Yeah,
thank
you
so
when
I
think
about
the
rcip,
I
really
want
to
stress
the
comment
you
made
already
about
the
fact
that
we
want
to
position
ourselves
well
to
be
competitive,
because
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
law
has
a
lot
of
money
from
the
standpoint
of
potential
grant
opportunities,
and
this
one
in
particular.
There
are
more
dollars
that
go
potentially
to
cities
of
our
size
so
to
the
degree
that
we
can
really
look
at.
I
think
we're
well
positioned
with
vision,
zero,
for
example,
and
our
safe
systems
approach
our
mobility
implementation
plan.
L
So
as
we
look
at
other
potential
sources
of
grant
funding,
where
are
the
other
places
where
we
can
again
best
position,
our
cip
dollars
to
be
able
to
get
matching
funds
and
again
whether
we
can
find
partners
that
are
also
interested
in
those
same
kinds
of
infrastructure
projects
when
I
think
about
the
aging
infrastructure
and
making
sure
that,
because
I
I
hear
when
I'm
out
in
the
community,
about
the
fact
that
you
know
sidewalks
that
are
not
contiguous
or
sidewalks,
that
really
need
to
be
replaced
because
they're
they're
stripping
hazards
and
whatnot
the
ada
aspect
of
our
community
and
how
that
works.
L
When
I
think
about
balancing
the
priorities
and
the
criteria,
I
agree
with
the
scaling
and
the
timing.
And
how
do
we
actually
build
to
scale
to
support
the
kind
of
growth
that
we're
seeing
in
our
community
and
that
continual
growth
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that,
in
addition
to
sustainability,
as
a
holistic
viewpoint
to
the
mayor's
point
earlier,
making
sure
that
we're
also
looking
at
the
the
climate
change
and
sustainability
related
to
that?
And
then
I
didn't
see
in
the
criteria
the
equity
lens
of.
L
As
we
look
at
where
we
deploy
cip
in
our
community,
I
mean,
I
believe,
it's
there,
but
it
would
be
good
to
make
sure
that
the
criteria
specifically
stated
in
there
and
you
know
to
me.
I
think
we
do
a
really
good
job
with
our
gis
and
our
mapping
to
be
able
to
holistically
show
in
our
cip
where
we're
spending
our
money.
L
I
do
have
to
say
that,
as
we
have
more
people
driving
that
we're
seeing
more
accidents
and
and
challenges
associated
with
bicyclists
and
pedestrians,
so
I'd
like
to
see
how
we
can
find
partners
or
grants
to
be
able
to
accelerate
our
vision,
zero,
even
more
to
work
on
those
improvements,
and
I
recognize
that
that
may
not
always
be
the
easiest
thing
to
do.
And
and
yet
I
believe,
it's
an
important
aspect
of
what
we
need
to
do.
Moving
forward
thanks.
E
Thank
you,
mayor,
robinson
yeah.
I
don't
think
I
have
any
real
questions
or
additional
comments
right
now
I
mean
I
just
really
appreciate
you
set
this
up
the
criteria
and
especially
on
slide.
I
think
it
was
34
there
on
the
starting
place
for
balancing
the
cip.
I
think
that's
a
really
important
lens
to
look
at
this
through
the
effectiveness
through
the
mandates,
the
financial
factors
that
my
colleagues
have
mentioned
numerous
times
and
the
timing
and
the
urgency
and
then
also
the
scaling.
E
I
think
that's
a
very
appropriate
thing
for
us
to
be
thinking
about.
Is
it
the
right
project
at
the
right
time?
You
know
is
I
think,
through
that
lens
we
should
be
thinking
about
about
all
these
projects,
but
I,
like
the
way
you've
set
this
up.
I
think
this
will
lead
to
some
very.
F
E
Conversation
some
difficult
decisions,
but
good
conversations
about
where
we
need
to
go
as
it
relates
to
the
cip,
so
good
job
and
look
forward
to
more
of
this
later.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
stokes,
followed
by
council
member
lee
and
then
barksdale.
D
Yeah,
just
a
couple
of
comments
on
good
comments
so
far
and
I
think
the
way
you've
laid
that
out
is
very,
very
good.
I
liked
what
councilmember
robertson
said
at
the
beginning,
but
you
know
I
think
that
what
we're
looking
at
is
keeping
in
mind.
What
is
the
the
project
effectiveness?
What
are
the?
What
are
the
projects
that
will
have
the
best
impact
on
the
city
and
on
the
services
that
we
need?
D
I
know
we
take
that
into
account,
but
sometimes
things
just
pop
up
and
I'm
hoping
we'll
focus
on
that
and
include-
and
this
is
what
referring
to
is
the
addition,
what
how
does
it
add
to
the
quality
of
life
in
the
city,
because
that's
that's
the
thing
that
keeps
us
going
and
I
think
that's
very,
very
important
to
do
and
the
other
is
you
know:
how
does
it
impact
economic
development?
How
does
it?
How
is
it
something
that
multiplies
the
the
end?
D
You
know
the
income,
the
development
of
the
community,
all
these
things
that
make
this
community
going
forward.
As
I
said
earlier,
I
think
we're
in
a
period
where
we
have
great
opportunity
to
move
forward
and
we
need
to
focus
on
those
things
that
keep
us
going
forward,
because
we
could,
you
know,
go
off
track
and
this
could
could
change
a
lot.
So
I'm
hoping
the
whole
focus
on
this.
How
can
we
move
this
forward?
D
Do
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
to
increase,
increase
income
and
and
actually
make
this
continue
to
be
a
great
city,
and
I
think,
you're,
on
a
good
path
on
that.
Thanks.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
My
point
of
view
is
I
like
leveraging
you
when
I
talk
about
innovation
earlier
it's
working
with
other
folks
partnership.
C
You
know,
so
I
think
that's
where
we
get
the
biggest
bang
for
our
buck.
It's
you
know
to
do
that.
You
know
it's
a
matter
of
timing
and
opportunity.
We'll
talk
about
that
before
and
the
timing
opportunity,
you
know
points
out.
Practical
sense
is
federal
infrastructure
funding.
We
have
lots
of
money,
overwhelming,
have
trillion
dollars
ready
to
be
handed
out,
and
you
know
so.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
we
can
partner
with,
particularly
in
transportation.
C
You
know
in
our
city
alone,
we
have
multi-modal
system
and,
together
with
the
regional
transportation
partners,
metro,
sound
transit.
You
know
these
all
benefit
from
technology.
C
When
we
talk
about
technology,
you
know
we
talk
about
ai,
we
have
about
5g,
we
talk
about
autonomous
technology
and
these
things
you
know,
bring
us
all
together,
because
we
have
very
much
the
common
goal
and
vision
and
the
technology
itself
also,
you
know,
cuts
across
all
sexes.
C
It
extends
to
not
just
in
transportation,
but
again
it's
of
opportunity
and
timing,
but
in
other
things-
and
we
talk
about
vision,
zero,
you
know
just
somehow
it
has
caught
on
and
we're
talking
about.
You
know
I
ultimately
could
extend
to
incorporating
other
partners
which
is
talking
about
environment,
climate
change.
C
You
know
all
these
are
examples
where
we
can
get
bang
for
the
buck,
and
so
I
believe
in
working
together
and
ultimately
it
all
ties
to
economic
development,
because
when
we
have
all
these
things
that
we
can
make
happen
to
make
people's
lives
easier,
more
costly
factor,
more
efficient,
you
know
business
economy,
quality
of
life
is
going
to
be
improved,
so
I
think
that
this
is
where
I
want
to
emphasize
is
elaborating
and
the
timings
here,
opportunities
there
and
use
technology
to
cut
across
all
these
ways
and
places
that
we
can
form
partnership,
regional
partnership
and
work
together.
K
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
all
the
discussion
and
points
that
have
been
raised
already.
I
guess
I
was
curious,
looking
at
it
holistically
how
how
does
evaluation
happen?
I
guess
I'm
interested
in
that
there's
sort
of
an
opportunity
not
to
remove
the
human
aspect
from
it,
but
more
so
to
bring
some
clarity
of
how
these
align
with
each
other.
If
there's
a
way
for
us
to
think
about
scoring
these
not
so
much
for
action,
but
for
discussion
help
us
talk
through
the
priorities.
I
Here
evan,
could
you
go
back?
One
slide
for
me:
take
a
look
at
the
criteria.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
don't
traditionally
score
them
per
se.
We
kind
of
think
of
them
as
different
types
of
factors
as
you
look
at
the
collection
of
projects,
because,
as
with
most
things
as
councilman
robertson
mentioned
early
on
is
we
do
have
some
color
of
money
issues
so
a
project
we
might
have
a
source
of
money
that
needs
to
be
used
for
a
very
specific
source
or
a
very
specific
size
of
projects.
I
So
we
kind
of
it's
more
like
a
a
three-sided
rubik's
cube,
but
if
you
could
go
with
that,
you
know
it's
some
of
all
these
pieces
that
you're
putting
together
in
order
to
kind
of
put
the
package
that
makes
the
most
sense
with
the
revenues
you
have
coming
in
the
door.
That's
really
how
it
works.
I
I
Does
that
make
sense
it's
more
challenging
to
score
numerically,
just
because
of
the
color
of
money
and
how
what
you're
trying
to
accomplish.
K
I
K
I
B
I
This
is
the
last
thing
we'll
now
turn
it
over
to
michael
shiasaki
and
evan
will
bring
up
his
powerpoint
here
in
just
a
minute
and
we'll
turn
it
over
to
michael
to
take
us
to
the
parks
capital
funding
item.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
this
evening,
council.
I
have
appreciated
your
feedback
that
you've
given
us.
N
Thank
you
tony
and
evan
and
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
members
of
the
city
council,
I'm
michael
shiesaki,
and
thank
you
for
having
me
this
evening.
N
N
But
before
we
move
into
that
presentation,
I
first
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
and
reset
help
us
think
a
little
bit
about
our
incredible
city
in
a
park
and
think
about
the
forests
and
the
trees
and
the
beaches
and
sports
fields
and
sports
courts
and
other
recreation
facilities.
Over
these
past
two
years.
Our
park
system
has
again
demonstrated
its
incredible
value
to
the
community.
N
So
tonight
I
will
provide
a
quick
overview
on
the
background
in
history
and
how
the
park
system
came
to
be
touch
on
the
2022
parks
and
open
space
system
plan
update
and
that
update
process
is
nearing
completion.
Discuss
the
key
capital
project
needs
identified
in
the
plan.
Update
talk
about
park,
needs
versus
revenues
and
potential
future
funding
sources,
and
then
next
steps
next
slide.
Please.
N
So,
as
we
know,
bellevue's
highly
regarded
park
system
has
not
been
built
in
a
day.
It's
taken
years
of
strong
leadership,
a
compelling
vision,
developing
big
plans
and
ongoing
incremental
financial
investment,
whether
it's
been
the
downtown
park
or
the
botanical
garden
or
gradually
acquiring
land
for
a
significant
public
waterfront
park
on
lake
washington
bellevue
has
continued
to
demonstrate
one
of
its
hallmarks
and
that
is
setting
the
long-term
vision,
developing
big
plans
and
successfully
implementing
those
plans
over
many
years
and
over
the
last
decade.
N
N
Next
slide,
please
the
most
recent
ballot
initiative
for
parks
and
bellevue
is
the
parks
and
natural
areas
levy
that
passed
in
2008
and
expires
in
2028..
There
have
been
many
notable
projects
that
were
funded
in
part
from
this
levy
and
are
now
complete,
including
completing
the
circle
and
the
northeast
corner
gateway
projects
at
the
downtown
park.
N
So
as
as
we
complete
the
current
levy,
it
has
aligned
well
with
the
timing
of
the
update
of
the
parks
and
open
space
system
plan.
So
this
is
a
20-year
plan.
That's
updated
every
six
years
and
in
addition
to
planning
for
the
future,
the
plan
update
allows
us
to
be
eligible
for
state
and
federal
grants,
and
it's
required
as
a
part
of
our
parks
agency.
Re-Accreditation.
N
N
Please,
so
public
outreach
has
been
done
with
a
many-faceted
approach,
a
strong
social
media
campaign
through
a
variety
of
outlets
like
wechat,
and
the
engaging
bellevue
hub
we've
met
with
boards
and
commissions,
and
about
20
neighborhood
organizations
and
targeted
outreach
to
some
of
the
organizations
and
agencies
we
work
with
who
serve
historically
marginalized
communities
and
people
of
color
and
whom
we
are
aware
of
through
the
work
of
our
human
services
division.
But
I
will
add
that
you
know
this
outreach
work
has
been
impacted
by
covid
as
in-person
workshops
and
focus
groups.
N
Just
haven't
been
possible
next
slide,
please.
N
It
shows
that
you
know
we
continue
to
get
better
in
developing
a
survey
sample
that
is
reflective
of
the
community
profile
next
slide,
please
so
some
data
points
from
the
survey.
So
when
folks
have
been
asked
in
the
past
12
months,
have
you
or
someone
in
your
household
visited
any
of
the
following
types
of
public
or
private
parks
or
recreation
facilities
in
bellevue,
and
I
would
say
these
statistics
have
stayed
the
same
over.
N
I
would
say
decades
of
my
work
in
parks
and
recreation
and
that
trails
and
natural
natural
areas
are
consistently
some
of
the
best
used
elements
in
any
park
system,
including
bellevue.
So
those
trails
and
natural
areas
followed
by
I
think
in
bellevue
waterfront
parks
are
very
important.
We
are
a
city
surrounded
by
water
and
I
think
because
the
bellevue
botanical
garden
is
so
great,
partly
parks
with
the
display
gardens
then
moving
on
to
just
open
areas
and
then
other
kinds
of
more
structured
recreation
facilities.
N
So
this
information
is
about
reasons
for
visiting
parks
and
it's
it's
pretty
much
in
alignment
with
the
previous
status,
so
people
are
going
out
there
to
enjoy
nature
and
to
relax,
spend
time
with
family
and
friends
and
exercise
and
then
also
participate
in
a
variety
of
sports.
N
Next
slide,
please
so
so
this
slide
show
when
asked
what
we
in
parks
and
community
services
should
focus
on
over
the
next
10
years.
Responses
have
been
pretty
evenly
split.
You
know,
half
of
the
folks
are
saying
we
should
focus
on
developing
and
improving
our
currently
owned
parks
and
about
half
are
saying
we
just.
N
We
should
be
acquiring
new
park,
land
and
natural
areas,
so
a
bit
of
a
split
there
next
slide,
please
so
in
looking
at
park
development
priorities-
and
this
is
consistent
with
both
the
youth
use
data
and
the
reasons
for
using
facilities.
N
So
in
terms
of
common
themes,
and
of
course,
some
of
this
obviously
makes
us
smile.
What
we
heard
back
is
that
you
know
the
parks
in
bellevue
are
well
maintained
and
really
important
to
the
quality
of
life
in
our
city.
N
We
need
to
continue
to
protect
natural
resources
and
to
continue
to
purchase
more
open
space
that
it
as
it
is
available,
look
at
expanding
trial
connections
and
wayfinding,
and
then
there
are
certain
neighborhoods
in
the
city
that
don't
have
the
same
access
to
parks
as
some
others
and
I'll
touch
on
that
more
in
a
minute,
and
we
need
to
continue
to
address
those
cities
that
are
growing
the
most
and
are
most
in
need
of
additional
open
space
park.
N
Designs
also
need
to
whoops
need
to
work
for
people
to
interact
and
to
gather,
and
when
we
look
at
a
variety
of
facilities
in
our
parks,
we
need
to
include
emerging
sports,
like
cricket
like
pickleball
and
off
leash
areas
and
additional
skating
facilities,
be
it
skateboard
parks
or
for
online
skating
and
disperse
facilities
in
courts
across
the
city,
and
then
when
we
provide
relevant
facilities
for
diverse
populations.
N
People
are
really
talking
about
including
facilities
for
people
with
disabilities,
the
active
aging
community,
youth
and
people
of
dif,
different
ethnicities
and
then
last
but
not
least,
as
we
look
at
preserving
bellevue's
history
and
its
cultural
resources,
we
need
to
consider
additional
interpretation
next
slide.
Please.
N
So
the
parks
and
open
space
system
plan
and
if
we
can
go
back
to
the
previous
slide,
that'd
be
great.
Thank
you.
It
identifies
really
a
menu
of
desired
capital
project
needs
over
the
next
20
years.
The
system
plan
isn't
constrained
by
a
budget
amount
and
the
projects
included
far
exceed
current,
currently
budgeted
funds.
N
N
So
here's
a
few
of
the
first
buckets
of
potential
need,
and
that
is
kind
of
the
big
bucket
of
open
space,
greenways
wildlife,
borders
and
trails.
People
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
continuing
to
purchase
open
space,
and
I
think,
we've
heard
a
lot
about
additional
acquisitions
along
coal
creek.
N
We
need
to
continue
to
grow
the
trail
system
and
connections
to
that
trail
system.
Whether
it's
the
mountains
to
sound
greenway
or
the
lake
to
lake
greenway
and
connections
and
park
amenities
along
the
new
east
rail
alignment,
so
in
terms
of
parks
facilities,
there
are
areas
of
the
city
that
don't
have
adequate
neighborhood
parks,
and
I
think
we've
heard
about
that
in
eastgate
and
in
factoria
and
in
the
bellred
neighborhood,
so
acquiring
neighborhood
parks
a
priority
under
parks
facilities
along
with
developing
existing
sites
we
have
in
bellred
and
downtown.
N
N
Next
slide,
please
so,
let's
see
here
so
you've
seen
some
of
the
needs
identified
in
the
parks
and
open
space
system
plan
over
the
next
20
years.
But
I
also
want
to
place
those
needs
in
the
context
of
current
capital
revenue
for
parks.
So
next
slide.
Please.
N
So
this
slide
shows-
and
I
want
to
really
emphasize
this
rough
order
of
magnitude
costs
for
project
needs
identified
in
the
parks
and
open
space
system
plan.
So
these
are
capital
project
needs
that
total
somewhere
between
500
million
dollars
and
about
a
billion
dollars
so
somewhere
in
that
range,
and
that
would
then
be
offset
primarily
by
funding
out
of
reach,
and
that
would
be
about
300
million
dollars,
which
you
know.
I
guess
I'd
like
to
emphasize
the
funding
gap,
but
then
I'll
on
the
next
slide.
N
Please
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
funding
options
we
currently
have.
So
I
talked
a
bit
about
the
current
parks
levy
and
we
also
get
funds
from
the
current
king
county
parks
levy.
But
you
know
we
also
have
been
relying
on
grants,
partnerships,
rent
and
donations,
and
some
of
these
are
very
opportunistic.
N
N
N
The
options
we're
most
familiar
with
are
the
voter
approved
funding
sources,
either
bonds
or
levies,
and
you
know
I
will
state
that
one
of
the
distinct
options,
although
you
know
with
my
parks
director
hat
on,
I
probably
can't
recommend-
is
to
not
seek
any
additional
funding
from
new
voter
approved
or
council-approved
funding
sources.
This
would
really
slow
the
pace
of
land
acquisition
and
future
park
development,
especially
at
a
time
when
the
the
city
is
growing
so
rapidly.
N
So,
lastly,
in
terms
of
timing
for
this
year
time
is
short
and
there
are
some
hard
and
fast
deadlines.
Should
there
be
interest
by
the
council
and
moving
ahead
with
a
ballot
initiative
of
some
kind?
N
One
key
date
is
that
to
get
something
on
the
ballot
for
the
november
general
election,
that
ballot
language
would
need
to
be
submitted
no
later
than
the
close
of
business
on
august
2nd.
N
So
with
that,
I
will
thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening
and
I
seek
your
feedback
and
hopefully
can
respond
to
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you
very
much
all
right
we'll
do
that
same
order
again
I'll
start
us
off.
I
have
a
few
questions.
B
First
of
all,
I
I
realized
we
were
talking
about
capital
funding
here,
but
I
I
do
have
a
concern.
I
understand
that
some
of
the
public
sports
programs
for
kids
that
are
not
in
select
are
really
going
away
and
there's
a
whole
lot
more
funding
public
funding,
going
toward
select
programs
and
kind
of
making
it
hard
for
kids
who
are
not
able
to
afford
the
high
fees
to
participate
in
programs
like
that.
B
So
I
wonder
what
the
city
can
do
in
creating
these
capital
projects
that
provide
opportunity
for
sports
field
youth,
how
we
make
sure
that
we're
providing
opportunities
for
all
the
kids
and
not
just
the
ones
who
can
pay
the
high
fees?
That's
my
first
one!
Can
you
do
you
want
to
answer
that
and
then
I'll
go
on.
N
Well,
you
know
that's,
certainly
in
terms
of
programming
I
mean
we,
we
can
certainly
certainly
look
at
that
distribution
and
how
those
fields
are
are
being
used.
I
think
you
know
we're
typically
not
necessarily
looking
at
the
select
leagues
as
much.
I
think
we're
trying
to
provide
kind
of
that
broad
range
of
access
in
in
sports,
but
you
know
we
can
certainly
look
into
that
more
in
detail.
B
Okay,
I
appreciate
that
maybe
there's
some
lower
rate
if
you're
not
select,
so
that
those
teams
can
more
easily
use
the
fields
all
right.
So
do
we
have
any?
Are
you
going
to
come
out
even
on
the
current
parks
levy,
and
I
know
that
that
one
expires
in
is
that
2028.
B
Yes,
okay,
and
so
you
say
you
have
two
more
projects.
Is
that
going
to
use
all
the
money
and,
and
can
you
make
a
case
for
doing
some
sort
of
part,
another
different
kind
of
parks
levy
sooner
than
waiting
until
that
one
expires
and
this
renewing
it
for
different
projects?.
N
You
know
I'd
say
that
would
be
certainly
I'll
answer
the
second
question.
First,
that
would
certainly
be
something
I
think
we
would
like
to
look
into
and
and
bring
back
more
information
on
that.
Certainly,
there
are
many
projects
to
move
forward
on
and
they
only
get
more
expensive
over
time.
N
I
think,
in
terms
of
your
question
about
the
two
remaining
projects
in
the
current
levy.
They
are
moving
forward
with
development
of
the
park
at
lake
sammamish
and
I
think,
in
part,
that's
on
hold,
as
we
tried
it
to
finish
out
the
acquisitions
on
the
lake.
So
you
know
we
would
hope
to
accomplish
as
big
a
phase
one
as
is
possible,
and
then
the
final
project
is
the
is
development
at
bellevue
airfield
park
and
that
project
obviously
is
a
little
bit
on
hold.
B
M
Thanks,
michael
so,
the
parks
levy
that
we
passed
in
08
as
all
property
tax
taxes
do
go
down
over
time
as
far
as
their
purchasing
power.
That
is
the
case
with
that
one
as
well.
Isn't
it
the
millage
rate
has
just
gone
down
down
down.
So
that's
why
a
lot
of
people
are
now
shying
away
from
doing
20-year,
levees
they're
doing
ones
that
are
no
more
than
10,
because
they
really
need
to
be
renewed
sooner,
because
the
purchasing
power
falls
off
so
much.
So.
M
N
Well,
you
know,
I
will
almost
look
to
tony
to
answer
that
more
specifically,
I'm
sorry
to
love
this
one
to
you,
tony.
I
M
So
we
could,
we
could
do
if
we
and
if
we
do
put
a
park
levy
on
the
ballot
I
would
want
to
put
in
the
projects
that
were
in
the
2008
levy
that
are
still
to
be
done.
Move
those
forward
retire
the
old
levy,
and
this
would
replace
be
a
replacement
levy.
So
because
and
like
I
said-
and
I
think
that
if
we
do
that
it
should
be
a
shorter
duration,
because
the
purchasing
power
just
goes
down
down
down.
So
I
would
be
interested
in.
M
M
So
if
we
increased
our
purchasing
power
of
the
levy
by
doing
a
new
capital
levy,
we
could
do
a
lot
more
with
it,
including
it
wouldn't
pay
for
all
of,
but
including
paying
for
part
of
the
capital
stack
needed
for
the
aquatic
center
having
more
open
space,
because
that
open
space
is
disappearing
as
we're
growing,
etc,
and
you
know
getting
the
water
from
park.
Moving
on,
like
some
amish,
I
think
that
we
should
also
consider
an
operations
and
maintenance
levy
as
a
going
hand
in
hand
with
that.
M
With
that
o
m
levy
we
could
fund
programs
like
the
mayor,
mentioned
sports
programs
for
youth.
I
think
we
need
more
and
more
programs
for
our
youth
right
now,
particularly
because
so
many
youth
are
struggling
and
we
need
to
really
amp
up
the
programs.
I
know
there's
grant
money
from
awc
for
programs
that
help
youth
that's
through
awc
and
the
ospi,
the
superintendent
of
public
construction,
so
that
are
trying
to
make
sure
that
they
increase
youth
programs.
I'd
love
bellevue.
To
be
part
of
that.
M
I
think
that
we
should
definitely
look
at
that
for
this
year,
even
numbered
years
or
better
years
to
run
levees,
you
get
more.
Voters
and
more
people
have
a
say
waiting
until
2024.
Just
would
seem
too
long,
because
we
are,
you
know,
except
we're
growing
so
quickly,
so
that
would
be
my
preference
is
to
get
moving
on
it.
I
also
do
think
it's
fair
for,
and
I
definitely
want
to
see
some
more
off-leash
dog
areas.
M
I
would
almost
put
those
in
not
into
active
but
into
just
open
space
and
passive
recreation,
but
we
need
we
need
one.
We
need
one
near
downtown
for
sure
and
elsewhere.
Finally,
I
know
that
it
was
on
the
list
in
the
agenda
memo
to
look
at
park
impact
fees.
Those
are
typically
only
paid
by
residential
development.
M
M
So
I'm
not
saying
I'm
going
to
be
yes
on
it,
but
I
do
think
it's
fair
to
continue
to
move
that
idea
forward,
so
that
growth
pays
for
growth.
We've
talked
about
that
at
length.
I
think
it's
fair
for
our
residents
and
I
think
it's
fair
for
the
new
residents
to
help
buy
into
our
beautiful
award-winning
park
system.
So
thanks.
B
Okay,
I
was
just
so
mesmerized
there,
council,
member
sign.
L
Yes,
thank
you,
michael
for
the
presentation,
having
been
the
liaison
for
the
park
sport
the
last
two
years.
I
know
how
hard
the
the
staff
and
the
board
has
been
working
on
the
parks
and
open
space
and
really
understanding
what
the
needs
are.
So
I
appreciate
that
definitely
agree
that
parks
south
of
I-90
it
it
is
a
bit
of
a
park
desert.
So
looking
at
that
tree,
canopy
and
then
land
acquisition
for
park
development
because,
as
my
colleagues
have
said,
you
know,
it's
only
land
is
only
getting
more
expensive.
L
So
I
agree
with
you
know
being
positioned.
Well,
so
we
can
make
those
kind
of
strategic
investments
and
then
thoughtful
use
of
the
land
that
we
have.
That
is
quite
limited
now,
with
that
said,
a
couple
things
on
the
the
300
million
revenue,
I'd
like
to
understand
a
bit
more
about
the
sources
of
those
funds
and
contribution.
L
I
heard
you
say
something
about
reit,
so
were
there
other
sources,
that's
within
the
300,
so
I'd
like
to
get
a
copy
of
that
to
better
understand
the
actual
revenue
associated
with
that
part
and
then
the
other
one
I'm
wondering
about
is.
As
I
look
at
the
whole
list,
I
see
the
aquatic
center
there.
I
see
you
know
the
the
the
need
for
dog
parts
off
leash,
yeah
cricket
and
and
pickleball.
L
L
Looking
at
all
the
needs
for
revenue
in
the
city,
which
is
what
we've
been
talking
about
with
our
budget,
so
you
know
on
our
mobility
implementation
plan
and
the
transportation
part
vision,
zero,
affordable
housing,
whether
we
have
enough
funding
within
the
1590
and
then
on
the
climate
and
the
environment
environmental
side
of
how
are
we
paying
for
our
municipal
greenhouse
gas
reductions
and
and
fleet
that
we
have
that
support
our
parts
and
open
space
and
that
department.
L
So
I
I
really
appreciate
having
this
discussion
early
so
that
we
can
better
understand
what
we're
trying
to
do.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
have
that
conversation,
there's
a
holistic
discussion
about
the
needs
for
that
vision
of
the
future,
so
we
we
are
careful
that
we
don't
end
up
in
a
space
where
we
put
out
a
levy.
That
is
only
a
more
limited
view
which
then,
when
we
finish
those
other
conversations
the
community
says.
Oh,
I
didn't
realize
that
we
were
asked
to
pay
for
this
as
well.
L
E
Thank
you,
mayor
great
presentation,
michael,
thank
you
so
much.
You
know,
I
think,
as
I
think
we
can
all
agree
open
spaces
parks.
We
are
that
city
apart.
This
is
a
core
value,
so
I'm
so
glad
that
we're
looking
at
this
in
such
a
holistic
and
organic
way.
Now
I
am
absolutely
for
moving
this
forward
in
terms
of
looking
at
and
necessarily
I
love
you
or,
but
it
could
be
a
bond
or
what
have
you?
E
F
E
Think
we
have
to
have
to
get
a
park
in
east
gate,
factoria
area
that
should
be
job
number
one
for
us.
It
is
you
know
if
we
truly
want
to
be
that
15-minute
city,
if
we
truly
care
about
an
equitable
distribution
of
parks
throughout
this
city,
we've
done
a
disservice
to
those
two
areas
and
we
really
need
to
get
them
a
park
that
they
can
get
to
easily
with
with
their
kids
or
with
their
family
and
and
enjoy
it
as
as
so
many
other
parts
of
the
city.
Do.
E
E
That's
also
a
very
interesting
thought
to
to
look
at
that
and
might
give
us
some
some
some
additional
revenue
to
to
look
at
some
other
additional
projects,
but
we
need
to
keep
this
conversation
going
and
look
forward
to
doing
it
and
and
having
that
conversation
of
all
these
different,
but
which,
which
are
all
very
much
worthwhile,
but
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
hard
look
at
those
outstanding
park
deficiencies
that
should
be
first
and
foremost
on,
I
think
everybody's
mind.
So
thank
you,
michael
thank
you.
D
Yeah
this
is
this
is
very
exciting
and
I
got
involved
in
in
city
government
and
politics
and
things
back
in
2008
in
putting
together
getting
schools
and
athletic
groups
together
to
get
that
levy
passed
after
having
a
failure
of
a
bond
levy
earlier
and
it's
just
gone
great.
It's
just
been
fantastic
and
then
on
the
parks
board
and
len
was
there
at
the
same
time.
The
mayor-
and
this
is
it,
goes
by
fast,
we've
gotten
so
much
done
with
what
we've
had
here.
D
But
what
is
exciting
about
this
and
is
that
we
have
these
great
opportunities
moving
in
front
of
us,
I
mean
we
have
a
fantastic
system,
but
we
have
the
opportunity
now
to
make
this
even
better
and
as
a
number
of
council
members
have
mentioned
over
and
over,
we
need
to
make
sure
this
is
spread
throughout
the
city.
So
I
think
it's
the
suggestions
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
all
the
enthusiasm
for
moving
this
forward.
D
You
know
putting
together
a
a
levy
to
you,
know,
to
pay
for
more
parks
and,
and
that
and
also
on
maintenance
is
kind
of
consistent
with
what
the
school
district
does,
and
they
do
that
very
successfully,
and
I
think
that's
and
and
taking
it
shorter
time
period,
but
I
I
agree
with
councilmember
robertson
that
I
think
we
really
need
to
move
on
actual
projects
going
forward
as
well
as,
of
course
finishing
up
what
we're
doing
now
and
we
could
put
that
together
and
get
something
going
on
this.
D
I
think
it's
feasible
and
I
think
the
the
city
is
in
a
position
right
now
in
a
mood
to
do
this.
We
keep
getting
talked
from
people
for
all
kinds
of
things
around.
D
You
know
we
have
a
really
comprehensive
program
here,
so
I'm
enthused
about
it,
and
I'm
really
excited
about
working
with
the
parks
board
and
and
the
community
to
make
this
thing
happen
so
appreciate
the
presentations
and
very
thoroughness
on
this-
and
you
know
this
is
this-
is
going
to
be
a
very
significant
addition
to
this
city
and
we're
going
to
grow
in
numbers.
D
I
mean
the
more
people
are
coming
here
and
having
parks
and
and
the
trails
and
all
these
things
and
made
by
bail
and
get
that
finished
and
I'm
glad
the
comments
made
about
including
you
know,
things
such
as
the
grand
connection
and
other
pieces
along
the
way
that
are
all
part
of
this.
That
will
make
the
system,
I
think,
greatly,
contribute
to
the
economic
development
and
to
the
healthy
development
of
this
city.
D
C
This
is
obviously
very
relevant
pertinent
to
the
city.
The
city
is
called,
you
know,
bellevue
a
city
in
the
park,
and
so
we
have
done
a
lot
of
good
stuff.
We
have
a
wonderful
plan
and
many
of
the
projects.
You
know
that
have
been
done
previously
and
now
we're
looking
at
new
projects-
and
you
know,
there's
never
enough
money
to
meet
all
the
needs
that
we
want
to
really
continue
to
fulfill.
C
C
Is
the
detail
when
we
do
surveys,
we
have
data
and
I
appreciate
doing
all
that
stuff,
but
you
know
the
data
shows
all
the
things
that
we
are
doing,
the
things
that
we
are
just
made
available
for
people
people
have
been,
you
know,
take
advantage
of
it
using
it
enjoying
it
appreciating
it
and
they
want
to
do
more
of
it.
Obviously,
because
that's
on
their
mind-
and
this
is
what
the
city
provides
city
in
the
park-
you
know.
C
However,
you
know
we
are
entering
into
into
a
situation
that
we
have
more
new,
more
things
more
facilities.
We
haven't
really
thought
about
before
you
know
it's
not
really
just
in
the
park
anymore.
You
know
we
talk
about
where
people
can
go
to
trail,
go
to
board
and
beach
and
so
on.
Now
I
think
we
are
talking
about
one
major
piece
of
the
parks.
C
Responsibility
is
the
the
peace
that
brings
people
together
the
the
human
service
piece.
I
think,
that's
a
piece
we
can
either
develop
it
by
the
people
supporting
it,
but,
as
we
know
most
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about,
you
know
whether
it
be
downtown
par
or
whether
it
be
just
recently
they
made
them
bower
bait
it
takes
years
and
years.
Yes
right.
First
first
come
to
concert.
C
I
was
on
the
city
in
a
park
committee
and
people
have
been
advocating
building
support
and
even
you
know,
even
though
they
know
it's
part
of
the
city
in
the
park
project,
but
it
takes
a
lot
of
support,
a
lot
of
awareness,
a
lot
of
people
coming,
you
know
to
to
talk
about
it,
and
so
what
I'm
specifically
going
to
is.
I
appreciate
all
the
the
projects
been
discussed.
I
think
they're
all
very
good,
very
important.
C
We
need
to
continue
to
carry
them
forward,
but
I
just
want
to
be
sure
the
the
new,
the
the
new
ideas
news
news
facilities
do
not
got
left
behind
or
tonight
doesn't
have
to
take
another
10
20
30
years
to
to
get
become
reality,
which
is
what
I
appreciate.
Councilmember
zhang
was
talking
about,
raise
the
question:
how
about
cross
culture
center.
You
know
people,
we
don't
people
don't
relate
to
that
with
a
park
facility,
we're
going
to
do
a
parks
lobby,
no
one's
going
to
talk
about.
C
Let's
have
a
money
to
put
in
the
cross
culture
facility
because
that's,
but
in
a
way
it's
building
the
survey.
If
you
read
through
it,
you
know
people
want
to
be
together,
people
want
to
be
with
their
families
with
friends.
People
want
to
have
a
place
where
they
can.
C
I
would
want
to
make
sure
not
just
looking
at
the
surveys
or
nobody
even
talk
about
a
community
space
for
for
multicultural
purposes.
I
want
to
be
sure
we
do
not
forget
it
leave
it
alone,
and
it
never
happened
again,
because
people
are
not
talking
about
because
people
don't
realize.
So
we
need
to
be
sure.
We
just
provide
some
leadership.
Some
impetus,
some
initiative
and
again
devil,
is
in
the
detail.
C
So
I
hope
that
we
will
be
not
forgetting
it
we're
going
to
keep
it
and
not
keep
it,
but
put
some
reality
on
it
and
help
to
move
it
forward
and
further
along,
and
so
it's
a
big
big
big
things
are
good
things.
We
have
to
live
to
our
reputation,
but
it's
not
just
park,
it's
the
whole
realm,
the
whole
purpose,
the
whole
reason
you
know
for
bringing
people
together
and
doing
things
together.
C
So
that's
I
yeah,
so
I
want
to
be
sure
you
know
the
staff
and
the
city
council
and
everybody
is,
you
know,
yeah
conscientious
of
that
fact,
so
that
we
don't,
you
know,
ignore
lose.
Thank
you.
K
All
right,
thank
you,
so
I
don't
have
any
points
related
to
what's
been
said.
I
think
it's
all
been
important.
We're
important
points.
I
guess
I
would
say
you
know
what.
K
While
we
talk
about
individual
projects,
I
guess
it
builds
on
councilman
release
point
at
the
end
of
the
day,
at
least
in
my
mind,
you
know
these
spaces.
These
public
spaces
are
about
people
connecting
whatever
the
entity
is
right
in
the
in
the
product.
K
B
Thank
you
very
good
input,
so
I
know
you're
looking
for
feedback
from
the
council
in
you
know,
for
preparation
on
this
budget
and
does
the
staff
feel
like
you've
gotten
everything?
Thank
you.
Man.
H
Council
members,
I
I
believe,
we've
gotten
very
good
feedback
from
the
council,
both
on
the
operating
and
the
capital,
as
well
as
the
parks.
There
are
some
items
that
have
been
great
ideas
and
questions
that
have
been
asked
that
we
all
need
to
get
back
to
you
on
and
some
other
topics
that
we'll
need
to
revisit
with
the
council
on.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
the
feedback
and
the.
B
Time
so
I
know
you
had
this
set
out
for
us,
but
I
can't
remember
what
it
said:
when
can
we?
When
will
you
be
back
in
front
of
us
again
to
discuss
this
more
about
the
budget.
H
B
Okay,
so
tony,
if
you,
if
you
can
just
show
that
slide
again
of
the
timeline,
so
we
all
have
an
idea
of
what's
coming
up
next,
apparently.
J
B
First,
dot
check
mark
two
three,
four,
six
more
so
the
next
time
council
will
be
discussing
these
ideas
is
at
the
retreat,
so
I'll
look
forward
to
doing
that
and
getting
input
from
the
community
multiple
times
and
we're
on
our
way.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
Is
there
anything
else
on
the
agenda
that
we
need
to
discuss
tonight
that
I
missed
might
be
missing?
I
don't
have
anything
on
my
end.
