Okay,
mr
miyake,
we
have
some
exciting
things
on
our
agenda
tonight,
I'll.
Let
you
introduce
the
first
one.
G
Thank
you,
mayor,
robinson
and
council
members
good
evening
under
tonight's
regional
issues,
agenda,
which
is
our
next
topic
for
the
meeting
tonight.
We
have
two
topics.
The
first
topic
is
a
summary
of
the
2022
state
legislative
session.
We
have
a
number
of
legislators
as
well
as
the
bda
and
chamber
joining
us.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
this
evening.
The
second
is
an
overview
of
the
city's
proposed
federal
legislative
agenda.
Joining
us
this
evening
is
lacey,
jane
wolf,
our
assistant
director
of
intergovernmental
affairs
as
well.
G
H
Good
evening,
it's
my
pleasure
to
be
here
today
for
a
discussion
of
the
2022
legislative
session,
we're
joined
by
a
number
of
people
who
helped
advance
bellevue's
priorities
this
year,
so
I'd
like
to
introduce
them.
First
of
all,
we're
joined
from
the
48th
legislative
district
by
senator
patty,
cooter
representative
von
dennis
ladder
and
representative
amy
wallen
and
from
the
41st
we're
joined
by
senator
lisa,
wellman
and
representative
thomassen
and
representative
milan
tai
was
unable
to
be
here
with
us
tonight,
but
of
course
we
appreciate
her
efforts
on
bellevue's
behalf
as
well.
H
I
know
you
all
are
looking
forward
counsel
to
joining
me
and
thanking
our
legislators,
but
what
we'd
like
to
do
first
is
hear
from
brianna
murray,
bellevue's
contract
lobbyist
and
vice
president
at
gordon
thomas
honeywell
governmental
affairs.
She
was
our
champion
this
year.
I
know
she
spoke
with
our
legislators
practically
daily,
if
not
multiple
times
a
day,
and
she
knows
bellevue
and
our
priorities
inside
and
out.
H
So
I
can't
think
of
a
better
person
to
give
give
us
give
us
a
summary
and
just
the
highlights
of
the
I
believe,
303
bills
that
pass
the
legislature
the
session
and,
last
but
not
least,
joining
brianna
is
going
to
be
two
partners
who
were
instrumental
in
advancing
bellevue's
priorities,
especially
our
transportation
priorities,
and
that
is
patrick
bannon
from
the
bba
and
joe
fain
from
the
chamber
who
worked
with
us
to
develop
our
joint
transportation
priorities.
So
we
have
a
great
program
for
you
tonight.
I'm
going
to
hand
it
off
now
to
brianna
murray.
I
Thank
you,
lacey,
jane
good
evening,
mayor
council
and
hello
again
to
our
41st
and
48th
district
legislators.
I
So
this
evening,
I'm
hoping
to
provide
you
all
with
an
overview
of
the
2022
legislative
session
and
highlight
some
of
the
legislative
priorities
that
you
all
outlined
in
your
legislative
agenda
and
then
we'll
conclude
with
a
thank
you
to
the
folks
who
really
made
it
happen,
which
was
our
legislators
starting
first,
with
an
overview
of
the
2022
session.
The
session
was
the
second
year
of
the
two-year
legislative
biennium
and
as
such,
it
was
a
short
60
days
session.
I
Like
the
2021
session,
it
was
conducted
almost
entirely
virtually
and
democrats
held
the
majority
in
both
the
house
of
representatives
and
the
state
senate,
all
bills
that
were
introduced
in
the
first
year,
the
biennium
carried
over
to
the
second
year.
Additionally,
100
1
156
new
bills
were
introduced
of
all
of
the
bills
that
were
under
consideration.
I
309
passed
the
legislature
and
of
those
the
governor
vetoed
six,
resulting
in
303
new
bills.
In
addition
to
the
many
policy
bills
that
the
legislature
considered.
They
also
adopted
the
supplemental
operating
budget,
which
totaled
to
be
63
billion
dollars
and
a
1.5
billion
dollar
supplemental
cap
capital
budget.
I
They
also
adopted
the
move
ahead,
washington
transportation
package,
which
was
a
17
billion
dollar
transportation
package,
making
investments
over
the
next
16
years
that
relied
on
a
two
billion
dollar
transfer
from
the
operating
budget.
Federal
funding,
climate
commitment
act,
funding
funding
from
an
increase
in
fees,
but
it
did
not
include
a
gas
tax
increase,
so
that
is
a
very
high
level
overview
of
the
2022
session.
I
The
move
ahead,
washington
package
included
several
of
the
items
than
we
requested,
including
450
million
dollars
to
close
the
revenue
shortfall
on
the
405
167
corridor.
Addressing
this
short
ball
will
allow
projects
along
the
corridor
to
be
completed
on
time
and
in
advance
of
the
deployment
of
sound
transit's
bus,
rapid
transit
on
the
corridor.
I
Additionally,
the
city
partnered
with
the
association
of
washington
cities
in
requesting
an
increase
in
preservation
and
maintenance
funding
for
local
city
and
county-owned
systems.
The
final
move
ahead,
washington
package
included
80
million
dollars
for
the
transportation
improvement
board
and
80
million
dollars
for
the
county
road
administration
board
over
16
years.
I
While
that
is
a
nice
allocation,
the
need,
especially
statewide,
is
much
greater
than
that.
So
that
will
also
be
an
item
we'll
continue
to
work
on
all
in
all.
The
adoption
of
a
transportation
package
in
a
short
60-day
session
with
investments
in
bellevue
is
a
huge
success,
and
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
joe
and
patrick
to
offer
their
comments
on
this
joint
endeavor.
We've.
We've
done
together,
starting
first
with
joe.
J
Great
thank
you,
brianna,
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
incredible
work
on
this
and
thank
the
city,
council
and
city
staff
for
giving
us
a
quick
moment
to
speak
here
this
evening.
J
I'm
joe
fain,
I'm
the
president
and
ceo
of
the
bellevue
chamber,
and
for
several
years
now,
the
chamber
and
the
city
have
coordinated
on
a
joint
transportation
agenda
and
bringing
these
priorities
to
our
local
legislators,
and
that
came
to
a
great
event
this
this
last
summer,
where
we
were
joined
by
many
of
the
legislators
that
are
here
today,
as
well
as
some
others,
as
well
as
a
number
of
our
city
leaders,
including
the
mayor
and
and
senior
staff,
to
tour.
J
In
particular,
we
obviously
the
405
funding
is
critical,
but
often
overlooked
in
some
of
these
packages
can
be
some
of
those
smaller
smaller
projects
like
what
we
were
able
to
see
come
together
in
east
rail
and
with
that
investment
from
the
state,
coupled
with
some
of
the
private
investment.
That's
come
in
from
several
players,
including
amazon,
we're
just
going
to
see
an
absolute
renaissance
on
the
east
side
of
405,
and
this
is
such
an
important
part
of
building
that
that
next
version
of
the
city
of
bellevue
that
is
accessible
by
all
modes
of
transportation.
J
This
partnership
that
we've
had
with
the
city
has
been
really
enabled
by
two
great
people:
brianna
murray,
who
of
course
we're
hearing
from
tonight.
Our
city
lobbyist,
as
well
as
lizet
gadina.
Our
chamber
lobbyist
down
in
olympia
and
they've,
worked
very
closely
together
and,
I
know
have
been
on
your
call
sheets
over
and
over
and
over
again
over
the
last
several
years
to
help
bring
attention
to
these
projects.
J
We
hope
to
continue
this
partnership.
We
know
that
the
work
is
not
yet
done.
We,
as
brianna
pointed
out
with
some
of
those
projects
and
also
with
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
tonight
with
a
federal
federal
agenda
that
the
chamber
is
also
in
support
of
and
will
be
working
to
help
bring
together
in
our
trip
to
dc
back
in
this
winter.
J
The
I
guess
I'll
just
close
by
saying
in
after
the
passage
of
the
2015
package,
I
I
myself
would
make
the
rounds
to
the
city
councils
and-
and
there
were
some
great
thank
you
events
and
they
always
had
cake.
So
if
you
have
any
dessert
hanging
out
at
your
house,
you're
free
to
partake-
and
hopefully
we'll
be
together
soon,
so
that
we
can
celebrate
this
great
achievement
together
again
to
all
of
our
legislators.
J
K
Good
evening,
everyone
joe
said
it
extremely
well:
the
the
level
of
investment,
the
type
of
investments
that
the
legislature
has
made
are
diversified,
which
is
what
you
want
in
any
any
smart
portfolio.
This
is
going
to
serve
the
growth
that
we
see
near
term
and
it's
going
to
benefit
future
generations
as
they
they
look
to
make
regional
connections
and
improve
their
quality
of
life
in
our
region.
K
On
behalf
of
the
bellevue
downtown
association,
our
membership,
everyone
who
works
together
to
make
make
our
community
thrive.
I
want
to
thank
our
our
legislative
delegation
and
the
city
of
bellevue
for
this
extremely
great
outcome
and
the
courage
and
collaboration
just
to
stick
with
it.
Perseverance
showed
through
the
session
and
in
a
short
short
session
and
greatly
appreciate
the
teamwork
that
went
into
it.
We
often
call
downtown
bellevue
a
work
in
progress,
and
the
results
of
this
session
clearly
show
a
lot
of
progress
going
into
our
work.
I
Great
thank
you
both
and
with
that,
as
an
overview
on
transportation.
I'm
going
to
move
this
along
to
another
very
important
topic,
which
is
housing
you
all
as
a
council,
prioritized
housing
and
asked
the
legislature
to
make
investments
in
housing
and
addressing
homelessness,
and
the
legislature
responded
at
a
very
bellevue
specific
level.
I
I
114
million
was
allocated
to
the
housing
trust
fund,
240
million
for
rapid
acquisition,
housing
grants
and
100
million
for
a
new
program
called
apple
health
and
homes,
which
provides
supportive
housing
to
those
that
are
receiving
state
medical
assistance
under
washington's
medicaid
program.
That
new
program
will
be
instrumental
in
helping
move
people
out
of
homelessness.
I
Moving
on
to
another
hot
topic,
this
session,
which
was
around
land,
use
the
legislature,
considered
three
different
proposals
that
did
not
pass
inevitably
pass
into
law,
but
were
discussed
a
great
deal
over
the
60-day
session.
The
first
one
would
have
mandated
that
cities
take
certain
actions
to
allow
for
middle
housing
types.
The
second
would
have
mandated
cities
adopt
regulations
around
accessory
dwelling
units
and
the
third
one
would
have
integrated
a
climate
change
element
into
the
growth
management
act.
I
I
One
policy
that
did
pass
into
law
was
house
bill,
1241,
which
made
a
change
to
the
gma
comprehensive
plan
deadlines
to
make
them
every
10
years
rather
than
every
eight
years.
I
The
next
deadline
for
bellevue's
comprehensive
plan
update
was
also
pushed
back
from
june
of
2024
to
december
of
2024,
and
the
legislature
allocated
significant
funding
for
planning
grants
that
will
be
administered
by
the
department
of
commerce
to
not
only
facilitate
jurisdictions
in
completing
existing
requirements
under
comprehensive,
comprehensive
plan
deadlines,
but
also
undertaking
some
addition.
Some
new
work
to
allow
for
middle
housing
types
and
increased
density.
I
While
it
was
discussed
right
up
until
the
final
days
of
session
that
bill
inevitably
did
not
pass.
In
addition
to
those
policy
changes,
the
legislature
did
increase
the
funding
for
the
basic
law
enforcement
academy.
This
is
the
academy
that
all
new
officers
must
go
through
prior
to
serving
on
our
streets,
the
legislature
added
an
additional
13
classes,
so
the
officers
can
be
trained
in
a
timely
manner.
I
And
finally,
the
legislature
recognized
that
our
state
is
in
many
ways,
still
recovering
from
the
coven
19
pandemic
and
made
some
targeted
investments
into
economic
development
and
small
business
support.
200
million
was
allocated
for
economic
development
grants.
34.5
million
was
allocated
to
spurs
small
business
recovery,
startup
and
growth.
I
25
million
was
allocated
to
businesses
and
non-profits
in
the
arts,
heritage,
cultural
and
science
sectors.
Those
grant
programs
will
be
administered
through
the
department
of
commerce
and
will
hopefully
help
assist
small
businesses
throughout
washington
state.
Additionally,
the
legislature
approved
senate
bill
5980,
which
provides
b
o
tax
piano
tax
relief
for
small
businesses.
Small
businesses
with
a
gross
revenue
annual
revenue
of
under
125
000,
will
now
be
exempt
from
vno
tax,
the
city
of
bellevue
on
the
whole
accomplished
most,
if
not
all,
of
its
legislative
priorities.
I
I
We
made
a
request
for
housing
in
the
first
year
of
the
biennium,
and
our
legislators
went
to
bat
to
get
us
two
million
dollars
for
that
housing
project,
which
is
much
more
than
most
other
communities
receive,
and
then
they
worked
with
us
within
this
last
year
to
transfer
it
to
a
different
project
so
that
we
can
use
it
in
a
timely
and
effective
manner.
So
those
dollars
are
put
to
work.
I
cannot
say
enough
good
things
about
the
legislators
that
have
joined
us
here
this
evening.
I
They've
had
an
open
door
for
me
as
your
advocate
and
really
it
hasn't
been
an
open
door,
but
an
open
phone
line
and
an
open
text
exchange,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
each
of
them
for
their
hard
work
over
the
last
60
days.
It's
an
incredibly
thankless
job
and
lately
it's
just
been
hours
and
hours
in
front
of
a
computer
without
a
lot
of
the
interpersonal
interaction.
I
So
I
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
express
my
personal
thanks
and
let
you
all
know
what
great
advocates
you
have
and
the
legislators
that
have
joined
us
this
evening
and
with
that
I
will
mayor
turn
it
over
to
you
for
comments
and
happy
to
attempt
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
So
much-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
rana
and
lacey
jane
for
the
tremendously
good
work
you
did
this
session.
You
gave
us
robust
communications
with
all
our
representatives
and
we
got
a
lot
accomplished
and
we
could
not
have
done
that
without
your
help.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
I
know
that
everybody
has
a
lot
to
say
tonight,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
that
you
limit
it
to
three
minutes
I'll,
give
everybody
a
chance
to
comment
or
ask
questions,
but
if
you
have
more
questions
than
time
allows,
please
feel
free
to
email,
lacie,
jane
all
your
questions
and
she'll
bring
your
questions
and
answers
back
next
week
to
all
of
us,
so
we
can
see
them
okay.
A
So
if
you'd
like
to
council
members,
do
you
want
to
raise
your
hands
and
if
you
have
comments
or
questions,
I
have
a
comment
or
question
I'll
start
and
then
we'll
go
with
council
members
on
and
use
your
hands
up
thing.
It
makes
it
easier
for
me
to
manage
so
my
question
well,
first
of
all
a
huge
thank
you.
A
We
started
talking
about
the
transportation
package
a
year
ago
and,
as
we
were,
dealing
with
the
challenges
of
whether
or
not
you
know
we
were
going
to
get
the
funding
for
all
the
work
that
we
felt
needed
to
be
done.
Our
population
started
growing.
We
started
developing
all
this
new
housing
and
office
and
new
jobs
have
already
started
coming
into
our
city,
so
this
couldn't
be
a
better
time
to
get
the
funding
needed
to
manage
our
transportation
challenges.
A
My
two
questions
with
senate
bill,
5755
and
house
bill
1799
both
of
those
I'm
wondering
how
they
can
be
used
in
bellevue,
and
if
our
city
needs
to
adopt
any
specific
policy
to
utilize,
those
and
I'll,
let
our
representatives
raise
their
hand.
If
anybody
wants
to
answer
that
question
and
if
you
don't
it's,
okay,
brianna
will
answer
it
for
us.
Next
week.
Okay,
senator
cooter.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor,
robinson
and
and
good
evening.
Everyone,
it's
always
a
pleasure
to
be
before
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
and
your
work.
I
have
to
say
I
love
being
a
bellevue
resident.
L
It's
a
beautiful
city
to
to
live
in
so
57
55.
What
you
will
have
to
adopt
a
program
is
the
sales
and
use
incentive
program
to
to
incentivize
private
developers
to
build
on
vacant
lands
so
envision
a
parking
lot
that
isn't
being
used,
that
sort
of
thing
and
and
it
I
don't
know
that
it's
actually
going
to
affect
bellevue.
L
L
L
Ones,
mayor
robinson,
may
I
just
add
one
other
thing.
Of
course,
this
actually
is
on
the
use
of
force
bill
and
rana
does
a
great
job,
but
the
bill
that
she's
referring
to
just
is
not
about
someone
intentionally
fleeing
a
law
enforcement
officer.
It's
about
someone
actively
fleeing
and
the
officer
has
to
give
notice.
L
I
did
vote
against
that
bill
because
the
word
intentionally
was
not
in
there,
I'm
a
former
prosecutor
and
it
was
and
to
be
honest
tonight,
when
you
did
the
proclamation
on
people
who
are
on
the
autistic
spectrum,
they
were
front
and
center
in
my
mind
because
they
don't
always
understand
what's
being
asked
of
them
and
when
you're
talking
about
use
of
force
that
can
be
up
to
and
including
deadly
force
it.
I
also
was
thinking
about
people
with
physical
limitations,
hard
of
hearing
in
our
deaf
community.
L
L
For
that
I
was
also
thinking
about
people
who
have
english
as
a
second
language,
or
maybe
not
at
all,
may
not
understand
the
notice,
and
I
really
we
had
included
the
word
intentionally,
but
it
was
taken
out,
and
so
that
was
a
problem
for
me
and
I
I
feel
very
strongly
that
law
enforcement
we
need
to
make
sure
they
have
the
tools
and
the
resources
that
they
need
to
do
the
very
difficult
job
that
they
do,
but
we
also
need
law
enforcement
that
works
for
everybody,
and
so
with
that
clarification
I
just
wanted
to
to
let
everyone
know
that
that
that
that
bill
will
probably
be
monitored
very
closely.
L
A
Senator
cooter
representative
slatter,
I
see
your
hand,
is
up.
Thank.
M
You,
yes,
it
was
a
very
I'm
just
responding
to
your
question
on
1799
or
trying
to
respond.
I
think
we
might
have
to
get
back
to
you,
mayor
robinson,
because
it
was
not
an
uncomplex
bill,
but
there
are
some
citing
requirements
and
ordinance
requirements,
but
also
there's
some
permissibility
there.
M
So
I
don't
have
the
details
for
you
on
that,
but
I
also
just
wanted
to
deeply
thank
you
all
for
inviting
us
here
today
and
I
don't
know,
do
you
want
us
to
go
through
a
minute
or
two
with
the
individually
to
speak
to
some
of
our
thoughts
or
would
you
prefer
we
just.
A
M
That's
perfect,
thank
you,
but
I
just
did
want
to
echo
my
thanks
to
brianna
and
her
team
and
also
just
really
thank
everyone
for
the
powerful
alignment
of
priorities
that
bellevue
brings
to
the
legislature
every
year.
I
can't
tell
you
how
incredibly
important
that
is
and
how
strategic
that
is
in
being
able
to
deliver
on
really
big
needs.
So
thank
you
and
mayor
robinson,
you
have,
I
think,
testified
I
don't
know
countless
times
now
in
the
last
session.
M
A
That
council
members
on
I'll,
let
you
speak
next
and
then
councilmember
stokes
and
then
deputy
mayor.
N
N
N
The
questions
I
had,
I
think,
is
slightly
different
than
the
mayor.
The
affordable
housing
sales
tax
incentive
5755.
Is
that
the
same
one
that
the
mayor
talked
about?
Okay,
so
I'm
excited
about
that
one.
The
funding
for
homelessness,
I
wondered
if
safe
parking
programs
might
be
one
that
would
fit
that
lens
as
well,
because
we
are
considering
a
safe
parking
program
in
the
city.
So
I
I
was
curious
about
that
and
then.
N
Lastly,
on
the
on
the
move
ahead,
washington,
I
read
something
in
there
about
safety,
speed
cameras
and
being
able
to
expand
some
of
that
use.
So
those
were
the
couple
of
questions
that
I
had
as
I
read
through
so
much
content
in
here,
but
those
were
in
particular.
Some
areas
I
was
interested
in
is
the
safe
parking
program
and
then
the
safe,
speeding
cameras.
A
Is
there
somebody
who
would
like
to
speak
to
those
two
questions?
If
you
put
your
hand
up,
I
could
see
you
or
we
can
have
our
staff
get
back
to
us.
Senator
cooter,
I
see
your
hand
is
up.
L
Yes,
the
safe
parking
program
would
be
eligible
for
monies
excellent.
I
Sure
I
was
just
going
to
speak
to
the
broader
authority
for
speed
cameras.
That's
been
authorized
so,
within
the
move-ahead
washington
package,
all
cities
are
authorized
to
utilize
speed
cameras
outside
of
school
zones.
Right
now,
current
law
you're
limited
to
only
school
zones.
There
is
specific
criteria
outlined
in
the
language
about
where
outside
of
school
zones,
speed
cameras
can
be
used,
and
we
can
certainly
send
that
along
to
you,
but
it
is
much
broader
authority
than
existed
previously.
N
A
C
C
To
have
this
presentation
and
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
we
could
ask,
but
it's
just
a
fantastic
work
done
this
year
and
I
think
a
number
of
us
have
been
on
council
long
enough
and
all
been
involved
in
this
to
see
that
this
was
a
particularly
well
coordinated,
well
launched
effort
to
really
do
some
great
things,
and
you
know
the
results
are
fine.
C
I
mean
we
never
get
everything
we
want,
but
you
know
most
of
the
times
we
at
least
get
what
we
need,
and
maybe
more
and
all
I
want
to
say
is.
I
think
this
has
been
in
my
experience
here
and
in
other
places
and
doing
legislative
work
and
all
we
have
a
team
both
in
legislature
and
then
our
representatives
working
with
us.
C
Our
staffing
and
you
know
the
two
agent
two
groups
with
the
patrick
and
joe
and
all
working
together,
and
we
got
great
results
and
we,
I
think,
have
set
a
a
really
good
path
on
the
next
year.
Going
forward
on
this,
because
this
is
this
is
just
a
time
that
is
so
much
growth
going
on
and
in
this
area
in
bellevue,
particularly
that
we're
just
lucky
to
have
the
team.
I
think
we
have
going
forward.
C
So
I
just
want
to
give
you
great
thanks
for
this
and
looking
forward
to
working
next
year
and
we
have
a
lot
more
to
cover.
But
if
we
can
just
keep
this
going
and
even
make
it
better
we're
going
to
accomplish
really
really
great
things.
So
just
appreciate
it
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
going
forward.
F
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
recognize
senator
well,
I
believe
has
just
joined
us
as
well,
so
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
her
actually
funny
story.
When
I,
when
we
ran
into
each
other
at
the
agc,
we
ended
up
being
at
the
same
table
and
we
delivered
for
belgium.
Didn't
we
is
it
absolutely?
Thank
you
so
much
senator
well.
P
F
Okay,
great
great,
well,
you
know
I
made
the
comparison
to
our
legislative
delegation
a
couple
of
years
ago
to
the
u.s
women's
national
team
and
I
think,
that's
still
appropriate,
because
they
just
continue
to
deliver
for
us
on
a
consistent
basis
and
just
thrilled
with
the
the
results,
especially
on
the
you
know,
the
two
biggest
issues
of
transportation
and
affordable
housing,
which
is
so
critical.
F
And
yes,
we
didn't
get
everything
that
we
would
have
liked,
especially
as
brianna
had
mentioned
about
the
the
405
interchanges
with
520
and
I-90,
and
then
the
access
into
downtown
bellevue,
but
I'm
sure
that'll
be
something
that
she'll
be
calling
all
of
you
about
consistently.
But
the
affordable
housing
piece
too,
is
just
so
so
important
and
the
investments
there
are
just
fantastic
and
we
are
we
are.
F
We
are
so
lucky
as
a
city
to
have
such
a
a
great,
well-coordinated
as
senator
sorry,
councilman,
stokes
mentioned,
and
a
lot
of
that
effort
and
that
hard
work
was
from
brianna
and
lacey
james.
I
thank
the
both
of
you
as
well
for
doing
such
a
tremendous
job
in
such
a
short
session.
So
much
was
accomplished.
So
thank
you
again
to
all
of
you
and
I
had
one
one
question
and
feel
free
for
for
anyone
to
to
answer
it,
but
something
that
I'm
concerned,
especially
in
bellevue.
F
But
it's
a
regional
issue
and
it's
concerning
marijuana
dispensaries,
as
you
all
are
aware,
there's
an
increasingly
targeted
by
criminals
and
they're
they're
targeting
these
dispensaries,
because
it's
usually
an
old
cash
business
and
also
the
the
second
factor
is
that
the
product
itself
is
pretty
much
untraceable
and
easily
sold.
Once
it's
stolen
and
in
the
city
of
bellevue
we
only
have
five
dispensaries,
but
in
2009
there
was
one
robbery.
F
There
were
three
in
2020
there
were
five
in
2021
and
there
have
been
four
already
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022,
and
these
robberies
have
increasingly
become
more
violent
with
the
use
of
firearms
that
resulted
in
the
deaths
of
employees
as
well
as
suspects.
Now
I
know
there
was,
I
believe,
senate
bill
59-27.
F
If
I'm
correct,
I
tried
to
help
address
this
issue
and
my
understanding
of
bipartisan
support
and
it
got
out
of
the
senate,
but
unfortunately
it
died
in
the
house,
and
this
was
looking
to
add
a
year
to
the
prison
sentence
of
someone
who
was
convicted
of
a
first
or
second
degree,
robbery
of
a
cannabis
shelter.
My
understanding
was
that
this
was
modeled
after
the
sentence
that
was
given
to
folks
who
rob
a
pharmacy.
Q
Yeah,
I'm
happy
to
comment
and
I
think
it's
very
sad.
Those
who've
lost
their
lives
just
for
going
to
work.
So
I
appreciate
and
share
your
concern
there,
and
definitely
one
of
the
major
issues
is
really
a
federal
issue
about
allowing
marijuana
businesses
to
use
credit
cards
and
banking
and
right
now,
because
it
is
an
all-cash
business.
It
really
does
have
a
target
on
it,
and
I
think
that
is
very
unfortunate.
Q
One
good
note
is:
we
did
expand
the
accent,
the
dollars
that
will
be
going
out
to
cities
from
marijuana
revenue
over
the
coming
years,
and
so
that
was
definitely
a
plus
and
a
highlight
which
has
been
we've
been
steadily
increasing
that
over
over
a
number
of
years,
since
that
has
become
legal
in
order
to
help
with
law
enforcement
costs
and
other
things
in
terms
of
increasing
penalties.
Q
We
really
have
had
a
very
conscious
effort
not
to
add
new
crimes
and
increase
penalties
in
the
legislature
right
now,
given
our
awareness
of
the
disproportionate
impacts
and
an
implementation
of
a
lot
of
laws
on
communities
of
color
and
kind
of
the
historic
racism
that
we
have
seen
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
So
we
have
been
making
a
constant
effort
to
not
add
new
crimes
or
expand
crimes
at
this
point
until
we
get
that
more
under
control
for
sure.
Q
So
I
think
you
know,
unfortunately,
that
there's
not
always
a
deterrent
in
our
by
just
increasing
penalties,
so
hope
we
can
get
more
housing
more
supports
and
you
know
and
reduce
criminal
activity
in
in
that
regard.
I
would
also
just
note,
since
you
mentioned
with
guns,
that
we
did
make
a
lot
of
progress
on
the
front
of
in
around
guns
in
the
legislature.
Q
This
year
we
ban
ghost
guns,
which
president
biden
did
today
as
well
made
them
illegal
for
the
whole
country,
but
we
did
that
in
washington
state
and
banned
the
sale
and
distribution
of
high-capacity
magazines,
which
I
think
is
was
really
a
top
priority
and
then
very
specifically,
for
you
all.
We
did
ban
open,
carry
of
weapons
at
city,
council
meetings
and
county
council
meetings,
school
board
meetings
and
election
sites
really
to
make
sure
that
no
one
is
intimidated
from
when
we
go
back
in
person
to
accessing
their
government
with
fear
of
intimidation.
A
You
very
much
council,
representative
slatter,
I
see
your
hand
is
up
as
well.
M
I
I
just
thought
I'd
make
a
quick,
brief
comment,
because
I
think
representative
sun
covered
it
really
well
with
respect
to
the
banking
and
the
different
aspects
of
financing
for
these
stores.
M
But
it's
interesting
when
you
mentioned
pharmacies,
council,
member
newton
house,
I
was
on
the
board
of
pharmacy
at
one
time
between
2007
and
2011,
and
we
had
the
highest
rate
in
washington
state
of
violent
robberies
in
pharmacies
in
the
nation,
and
part
of
that
is
due
to
the
opiate
crisis
and
other
reasons,
and
so
you
can
understand
the
complexity
of
problem
solving
in
this
space.
Although
marijuana
cannabis
definitely
comes
under
a
slightly
different,
a
different
umbrella
of
impacts.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Councilmember
lee,
I
see
your
hand
is
up.
B
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
It's
amazing
that
we
have
such
a
united
representatives
from
all
of
you
working
together.
You
know
effectively.
Obviously
it's
it's
amazing
that
you're
representing
us,
you
know
on
the
east
side
and,
of
course,
the
whole
state.
That's
what
we're
very,
very
thankful,
and
it's
important
that
you
know
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
accessibility
that
we
have
as
a
city
with
through
our
lobbyists.
B
You
know
to
talk
to
you
and
how
you
responded
to
us
and
obviously
you
know
the
sum
of
things
that
we
are
interested.
You
know
we
cannot
get
everything
we
need.
You
know
I'm
particularly
personally
interested
in
technology,
so
you
mentioned
about
you
know
that
includes
transportation
and
extend
to
other
things
like
climate
change,
environment,
vision,
zero
safety.
B
I
think
all
that
can
be
achieved
through
technology,
so
you
know
that's
very
far
reaching
so
you
can
only
reach,
you
know,
get
to
a
few
of
those
items,
but
I
think
you're
making
good
progress
such
as
that
you
know
ev
charging
support.
You
know
I
bellevue
still.
We
don't
have
a
real,
strong,
ev
charging
program
and
I
don't
think
we
have
any
money
for
that,
but
these
are
specific
things
that
you
know
you
have
it's
challenging
for
you.
B
B
B
So
I
think
we
hope
that
we
depend
on
you
to
make
sure
that
whatever
happens,
you
know
it
protects
our
interests.
You
know
what
what
is
right
for
bellevue?
B
What
is
right
for
those
who
grow
up
with
jurisdictions
within
the
reach
of
the
overall
program
that
we're
talking
about,
and
so
besides
the
you
know,
since
this
opportunity
for
you
to
make
a
couple
of
pitches,
I'm
going
to
include
a
couple
more
besides
technology,
one
is
cross
culture
center,
which
is
important,
because
our
region
is
very
multicultural
and
we
need
to
have
people
talking
to
each
other
working
together,
and
so
it's
not
the
division.
We
see
it's
not
a
polarization
but
in
fact
we're
working
to
solve
our
common
problems.
B
B
Obviously,
everybody
talks
about
is
the
the
the
level,
but
you
know
we
have
different
challenges
in
you
know
educating
the
the
different
people
so
another
one
is
economic
development,
workforce
training
that
actually
relates
to
technology
as
well
and
relates
to
our
our
people,
our
community.
So
we
need
to
be
sure
that,
when
transition
that
whatever
transition
we're
going
to,
whether
it
be
technology
or
just
because
we
have
a
different
culture,
environment
economy,
we
need
to
be
sure
that
we
are
trained
and
ready.
B
You
know
for,
for,
for
you
know,
for
the
the
for
ourselves
for
the
for
the
new
new
culture.
So
I
hope
that
you
know
this
can
be
worked
through
and
but
finally,
I
still
think
that
you
know
when
we
started
the
meeting,
we're
very
thankful
that
we
are
having
a
big
celebration
of
all
you
there
and
it's
a
great
great
environment
and
great.
You
know,
I
believe
that
we
hope
to
continue
with
your
support
moving
forward.
So
thank
you
for
doing
it.
Thank
you
for
helping
us.
Thank
you.
A
P
I
actually
was
being
felt
that
I
was
being
teed
up
in
my
role
as
chair
of
education
from
council
member
lee,
and
I
really
did
appreciate
that
in
fact
today
I
was
with
at
sammamish
high
school
with,
and
I
I
don't
know
that
you've
done
a
rec,
a
recognition
of
your
robo-toads
team,
but
hopefully
you're
aware
that
your
first
washington,
robotics
team
has
won
the
chairman's
award
and
will
be
going
to
nationals.
P
It's
it's
so
exciting,
and
I
will
point
out
that
you
know
we've
worked
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
have
funded
education
through
this
challenging
period
of
time.
When
none
of
the
ways
we
handle
education,
none
of
the
formulas
work
because
of
the
disruption
with
kovid,
so
that
has
been
over
the
last
two
years.
P
That's
really
been
a
major
focus
that
we've
had
really
almost
from
the
time
that
we
closed
schools
through
now
we
have
really
worked
hard
to
make
sure
that
your
schools
have,
you
know,
have
what
they
need.
I
will
tell
you
that
we
have.
I
I
had
probably
about
40
young
people
who
are
talking
about.
P
Why
is
robotics
not
given
the
same
recognition
and
support
as
your
football
team
and
your
band
etc
and,
as
you
probably
know,
I'm
working
very
hard
to
make
sure
computer
science
is
available
to
each
and
every
young
person,
because
it
is
the
future
councilman
member
lee.
You
were
talking
about
technology,
and
this
is
not.
P
This
is
not
our
industrial
age
that
perhaps
we
were
taught
in
this
is
a
digital
age
and
we
have
knowledge
workers
and
that's
where
the
future
is,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
kids
have
what
they
need.
You
know
with
regard
to
that.
The
other
thing
that
council
member
lee
mentioned
was
our
multicultural
community,
which
is
so
vital,
but
challenging
and
especially
challenging
at
the
education
center.
P
So
there
were
some
significant
bills
and
a
significant
focus
on
language
access
to
families
and
schools
and
and
making
sure
that
families
understood
what
was
happening
in
the
schools.
That
was
a
really
very
important
representative
orwall
has
been
working
on
this
for
quite
a
while
and
and
we
did
make
some
significant
inroads
there.
P
I
am
excited
about
what's
happening,
I'll,
go
back
to
charging
stations
and
and
really
focusing
on
that,
because
I
think
that
we're
looking
at
housing
for
the
future
that
is
ready
to
accept
the
type
of
electrification
that
will
be
necessary
for
future
automobiles.
P
And
you
know
that
being
said,
transportation
is
one
of
our
biggest
footprints
on
the
planet
in
many
many
ways,
and
so
we
will
be
looking,
you
know,
kind
of
to
make
sure
that
there
is
more
there.
I
can't
mention
specific
bills,
but
it's
of
constant
concern
to
us.
We
certainly
have
seen
many
of
our
corporate
partners,
such
as
amazon
converting
to
those
vehicles.
The
other
thing
that
I'm
interested
in
because
bellevue
has
been
such
on
the
forefront
for
autonomous
vehicles,
which
is
really
going
to
make
a
significant
change.
P
Those
are
just
some
thoughts
that
I
have.
Immigration
is
an
interesting
just.
You
know
it's
one
of
those
that
wasn't
really
one
of
my
first
major
bills
was
about
immigration,
and
the
united
states
in
general
is
having
a
challenge
right
now,
because
our
population
is
aging
so
rapidly
and
over
the
last
six
years
now
we
have
really
lost
that
thrust
of
new
immigration
that
we
have
so
counted
on
to
really
energize
our
economy
and
we're
getting
older.
And
it's
going
to
impact
us.
P
If
we
don't
open
up
immigration,
you
know
more
effectively
so
that
that's
what
I'm
working
on
and
thinking
about
these
days.
Thank
you.
A
Q
Thank
you,
mayor
robinson,
thank
you,
councilmember
lee
for
the
question
and
comments
about
technology.
I
did
just
want
to
share
that.
One
of
the
bills
that
I
worked
closely
on
that
went
through
representative
slatter's
committee
too,
was
working
with
the
wtia,
the
washington
technology
industry
association.
Q
We
pl
passed
a
bill
looking
at
the
blockchain
policies
that
I
know
mayor
you're
on
the
cascadia
blockchain
group,
our
council,
as
well
looking
at
how
we
can
expand
blockchain
technology
in
our
area
in
our
state,
but
also
with
an
eye
to
making
sure
that
it's
an
environmental
that
we
look
at
the
environmental
impacts
and
that
we
make
sure
that
it's
consumer
oriented
as
well
and
so
and
taking
into
account
a
variety
of
other
issues,
so
really
excited
about
that
and
excited
to
hopefully
be
serving
on
that
council
network
group
as
well.
Q
Then
I
would
also
want
to
mention
that
I
enjoyed
greatly
attending
a
rally
at
bellevue
downtown
park
for
the
ukrainian
refugees
and
for
really
standing
strong
council,
member
and
new
in-house
there
as
well
council
members
on,
and
it
really
was
moving
to
be
there
and,
and
it
was
we
as
a
state-
are
investing
74
million
dollars
in
refugee
resettlement
dollars
both
for
ukrainian
refugees
and
for
afghani
refugees
and
others.
Q
But
we're
really
with
that
target
in
mind
and
so
just
wanted
to
say
how
how
powerful
it
was
and
what
a
large
community
we
really
have
of
ukrainians
in
in
the
bellevue
area
and
east
side.
So
that
was
a
wonderful
event
that
I
was
glad
to
be
able
to
participate
in
as
well.
Thank.
A
You
so
we
have
yet
to
hear
from
councilmember
barksdale.
So
I'll
give
you
a
chance.
If
you
have
a
question
or
comment
and
then
we
have
yet
to
hear
from
representative
wallen
either
so
councilmember
barksdale.
E
All
right
thanks
mayor
first
just
many
thanks
for
a
productive
session
from
our
representatives
and
senators
representing
the
41st
and
48th.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
that
effort
and
time
I
did
have
one
question:
around
housing
and
land
use.
As
you
probably
know,
we
are
in
great
need
of
housing,
all
types
of
housing,
and
so
I
was
curious
about
it.
There
were
a
couple
bills.
E
I
think
that
were
advancing
missing
middle
types,
that
brianna
had
mentioned
and
while
they're
not
necessarily
novel,
I
do
think
that
you
know
we
need
all
types
of
housing,
and
so
I
was
just
curious
about
any
reaction
to
what
happened
with
those
bills
and
any
thoughts
about
what's
needed
to
advance
missing
metal
housing
bills
in
the
future,
because
I
don't
think
this
is
just
a
bellevue
challenge.
It
is
a
state
challenge
as
well.
So
thank
you.
A
So
representative
wallin,
I
see
your
hands
up
and
then
senator
cooter.
R
Well,
thank
you
so
much
madam
mayor
and
thanks
councilmember
barksdale.
It's
I
I
think
you
know
the
top
issues
facing
our
district
are
housing,
affordability
and
tax
reform
and,
of
course,
gun
violence
which
we've
preventable
gun
violence
which
we've
spoken
about
those
bills
were
very
controversial.
You
know
cities
organizations
of
cities
tend
to
default
to
the
local
control
right
so
rather
than
we
have
association
of
associations
of
cities.
That
excuse
me
just
one.
Second,.
R
Anyway,
it's
it's
it.
You
know
what
I
think.
One
thing
is
that
that
the
policy
was
painted
as
we're
getting
rid
of
single
family
zoning.
That
is
not
how
we
want
to
talk
about
this
policy.
What
we
want
to
do
is
talk
about
complete
communities
where
there's
a
path
for
every
person
where
the
people
who
live
in
our
communities
can
afford
to
live
here,
and
we
know
that
we
can't
completely
solve
this,
but
creating
complete
communities
means
there's
a
place
for
everyone.
R
Lots
that
don't
service
anymore
and
are
are
ripe
for
development
because
they
already
have
services
and
they
already
have
transit
and
our
folks
can
age
in
place
right
there.
So
I
always
think
about
bridal
trails
and
the
potent
center
and
others
that
we've
discussed
in
the
past.
So
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
it's
it's
our
most
important
job.
Thanks
for
the
question,
thank
you.
L
Senator
cooter,
thank
you,
mary
robinson
and
and
thanks
for
the
question
councilman
member
barksdale,
you
know
the
missing
middle.
The
idea
behind
it
is
to
leverage
existing
infrastructure
and
to
have
infill
where
it
makes
the
most
sense,
and
that's
why
it
was
limited
to
certain
types.
But
there
is
the
tension
as
rip
wallen
talked
about
between
the
local
control
and
the
state.
Having
a
mandate
and
what
I
look
at
is
we
have
over
the
interim.
L
For
example,
we
sunset
the
municipal
corporation
community
councils,
and
so
we
did
that,
but
we're
also
trying
to
incentivize
ways
of
increasing
housing
and
density
where
it
makes
the
most
sense,
mainly
near
transit,
centers
and
then
feathering
out
from
there.
So
I
welcome
your
ideas.
This
is
a
very
difficult
issue.
It's
also
an
incredibly
important
issue
as
rep
wallen
talked
about.
L
L
Homelessness
is
a
solvable
problem,
it's
going
to
take
more
than
one
solution,
but
it
is
a
solvable
problem
and
it
is
way
way
way
cheaper
for
us
to
make
sure
that
someone
has
a
roof
over
their
head
than
it
is
for
them
to
be
chronically
homeless,
and
I
think
that
that's
true
not
just
in
the
heart
expenses,
the
taxpayer
costs,
but
it's
also
true
in
the
lost
productivity
of
that
individual
or
that
family.
So
I'm
committed
to
that.
L
A
Thank
you.
Well,
I
think
you
recognize.
We
have
a
very
engaged
council
here
who
are
eager
to
work
with
you
all
again
in
the
next
session
and
tackle
some
of
the
remaining
issues
and
emerging
issues
as
they
come
along.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
tonight.
We
feel
so
lucky
to
have
you
representing
us,
and
it's
really
an
honor
to
have
you
all
here
at
our
meeting.
So
thank
you.
A
We
are
going
to
move
on
to
our
federal
issues,
so
anybody
who
doesn't
who's
not
on
the
council
who
doesn't
want
to
hang
out
for
that
is
don't
don't
I
mean
hesitate
to
sign
off.
Mr
miyake,
you
already
introduced
this
so
brianna.
Do
you
want
to
take
it
from
here
or
lacey
jane?
Maybe
you
do
that's.
H
Right
thanks
mayor,
I
think
I'll,
take
it
from
here.
One
note
about
your
regional
issues
packet
tonight.
It
does
include
a
draft
mou
for
the
east
trail
with
a
slight
change,
so
we
wanted
to
share
it
with
you
tonight
in
your
pocket
and
it
will
be
coming
back
on
your
consent
agenda
on
next
week
april,
18th.
H
One
thing
that
tony
and
his
partner,
w2a
naina
colyer,
have
helped
me
understand-
is
the
importance
of
prioritizing
among
the
many
things
that
are
important
to
the
city
of
bellevue
and
that
we
would
like
to
pursue
in
the
next
two
years,
and
so
what
we
did
with
your
council
priorities
to
develop
this
draft
was
we
then
screened
those
against
looking
for
projects
that
are
shovel
ready,
I.e,
right,
we're
ready
to
request
federal
funding
for
those
projects
in
the
next
year
or
two
and
are
expected
to
have
federal
funding
available
in
the
next
year
or
two,
and
that
helped
us
arrive
at
a
what
we
believe
to
be
a
good
set
of
priorities
that
will
give
direction
to
staff
and
help
the
city
of
bellevue
have
a
consistent
message
about
what
our
asks
are
of
our
federal
legislators.
H
So
that
is
the
draft
that
is
in
front
of
you
tonight
and
we
are
very
interested
to
hear
your
feedback
on
that.
But
first
I
would
love
to
hand
things
off
to
tony
williams,
to
say
a
few
words
about
how
we
interact
with
our
federal
delegation
since
he
and
nina
help
lead
us
and
guide
us
on
that
on
that
work.
S
Well,
hello,
everybody
and
thanks
for
having
me
here
so
first,
you
know
it
was
great
to
go
through
this
process
with
all
of
you
nina-
and
I
learned
a
lot
about
each
of
from
the
council's
standpoint,
each
of
the
issues
and
priorities
that
are
important
to
you
and
and
to
one
it's
just
good
to
have
that
chance
with
you
also.
S
You
know
we
did
a
similar
process
with
all
the
department
heads
and
attempted
to
kind
of
get
our
hands
and
arms
around
various
priorities
and
issues
there,
and
so
one
that
was
kind
of
the
first
step
of
all
this.
Then
it's
you
know
what
the
heck's
going
on
in
in
dc
and
where
can
we
create
the
right
math
of
our
priorities
and
where
they're
spending
money
and
where
we
have
people
in
the
delegation
who
can
help
us
get
it
so
that's
kind
of
what
the
magic
is.
S
What
we're
trying
to
do
here
so,
unlike
the
state
which
has
already
had
its
legislative
session-
and
is
you
know,
the
work
in
dc
is
just
beginning
on
this
year
they
just
finished
last
year's
appropriations,
bills
and
now
they're
beginning
to
start
the
process
on
this
year.
I
was
actually
back
there
last
week
and
you
know
it's.
It's
still
a
wee
bit
of
an
awkward
time
as
as
in
terms
of
how
to
engage
with
our
congressional
delegation.
You
know
the
buildings
are
kind
of
open.
S
S
We
expect
those
to
come
out
soon,
but
what
is
interesting
is
the
delegation
themselves
are
very
interested
in
what
various
local
governments
and,
of
course,
I've
talked
to
them
about
the
city
of
bellevue.
What
our
needs
are,
what
we're
applying
for
and
how
can
they
help
us?
Go?
Get
those
funds
I
mean
in
particular,
it's
been
a
fascinating
discussion
with
senator
cantwell's
office
last
week
and
the
legislative
assistant
who
was
on
that.
S
We
were
talking
about
energy
and
she
wanted
to
quickly
pivot
the
salmon
funding
for
a
bit
and
say
hey
by
the
way.
You
know
senator
campbell
put
a
lot
of
money
in
there
for
salmon
recovery
funding,
including
culverts,
and
she
wants
to
see
every
city
out
there
applying
for
grant
funding,
and
so
you
know
one
of
the
things
we've
already
done.
S
So
so
one
though
that's
an
example
of
how
we
interact
with
our
delegation,
so
that
and
then
the
the
other
way
we're
react,
interacting
with
our
delegation.
Right
now
is
around
earmarked
funding,
and
so
those
are
congressionally
directed
spending
amounts
that
go
in
the
appropriations
bills
that
are
the
bills
that
congress
has
to
pass
every
year
to
fund
the
government-
and
you
know
members
are
allowed
to
you-
know,
put
in
three
or
four
requests.
S
They
generally
are
on
the
smaller
side.
You
know,
generally
in
the
750
000
to
a
million
dollars.
We
received
one,
the
city
of
bellevue.
We
did
get
one
in
the
fy
22
bill
that
those
are
the
bills
that
were
just
approved
in
march.
I
think
it
was
about
900,
000.,
lacey
jane,
can
give
you
more
of
the
details
and
exactly
what
it
was
for.
So
that
was
exciting.
You
know
for
us
to
get
one
of
those
so
we're
beginning
to
prepare
our
earmark
requests,
and
you
know
so.
S
S
A
Thank
you
tony
very
much,
lacey
jane
anything
else.
You
want
to
add
before
we
open
this
up.
H
Mayor
that
concludes
the
staff
presentation.
We
would
love
feedback
from
council
to
know
whether
this
draft
federal
legislative
agenda
hits
the
mark
for
what
your
priorities
are
and
where
you
would
like
staff
to
focus
and
what
you
would
like
us
to
help
you
communicate
to
legislators
and
look
forward
to
hearing
your
comments.
B
Thank
you,
hi,
tony
hello.
I
appreciate
your
work
and
the
report.
As
you
probably
know,
I've
been
working
on
this
for
over
20
some
years.
B
I
go
to
dc
every
year,
trying
to
figure
out
and
of
course,
things
have
come
and
change
and
go
and
all
that
so
appreciate
what
you
guys
been
doing,
but
I
think
we
have
a
opportunity
this
year.
Obviously
with
the
how
many
1.5
trillion
dollars
of
infrastructure
money,
I
don't
know
in
a
way,
aren't
they
ready
to
dish
out,
but
you
know
so
that's
something
that
you
know,
and
I
appreciate
you
doing
this.
B
My
question
is:
I
look
at
a
federal
legislative
agenda,
but
it
seems
to
be
very
general.
You
know,
like
you,
just
heard
that
we
talked
the
state
legislature,
it's
pretty
specific,
you
know,
because
otherwise,
how
are
they
going
to
know?
What
is
there
what's
appropriate
because
it
has
to
match
up
with
the
agency's
priority
somewhat
right.
So
that's
they
need
to
understand
what
it
is.
So
that's
one
thing,
so
you
cover
almost
everything.
Basically
so,
but
that's
my
first
question
so
to
be
specific,
that
means
we
need
to
talk
about.
B
You
know
so,
as
we
talk
to
the
state,
you
know
autonomous
vehicle
electronic.
You
know
ev
technology,
you
know
they
talk
about
ai.
You
know
because
this
permeates
throughout
many
of
the
city's
priorities:
transportation,
climate
change,
environment,
a
vision,
zero
right
and
we
talk
about
housing,
even
economic
development.
You
know
it's
all
very
part
and
possible,
and
when
you
talk
about
transportation,
we're
talking
about
working
with
a
metro
working
with
light,
which
would
mean
with
sound
transit
and
various
other
jurisdictions
as
well
and
and
including
corporations.
B
So
so
what
I
I'm
thinking
is
in
order
to
get
you
know
earmark
or
whatever
that
meets
the
federal
interest
agency.
We've
got
to
be
the
more
specific,
so
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
what
that
might
be,
that
you
can
support
us,
help
us
to
better.
You
know
craft
it
and
you
you
mentioned.
You
talked
to
the
staff.
You
talked
to
the
council
members,
I'm
just
curious.
What
did
you
find
us
that
we
we
have?
We
agree
on.
B
You
know
if
the
staff
feels
that
way,
concert
feels
out
of
the
way
you
would
be
in
trouble
right.
You
say:
oh
gee,
what's
your
priority,
so
I
hope
that,
based
on
what
you
have
done,
you
can
bring
us
to
the
same
page.
Then
we
can
focus
on
what
specific
we
can
bring
to
the
federal
government.
So
you
met
you
mentioned
about.
We
have
900
000
in
20
in
2022
funding,
I'm
just
curious.
B
What
that
might
be
so
maybe
lacey
jean
can
tell
me
that,
but
other
than
that,
I
just
already
said
that
you
know
I
would
like
to
see
some
specifics
and
let's
see
if
it's
consistent,
compatible
with
what
federal
government's
spending
priority
are
you
know
if
we
are
the
same,
we
have
much
better
chance.
If
we
don't,
you
mentioned
we're
gonna
do
this
for
shovel
ready
projects.
I
don't
know
what
are
the
shuffle
project
projects
we
have
for
the
next
couple
years
and
are
we
gonna
miss
the
boat?
B
If
we
wait
for
a
couple
years
or
so?
What's
this
timeline?
That's
all!
So
I
think
these
are
the
things
we
might
want
to
know
a
little
bit
more.
So
it's
a
mouthful,
but
I
hope
you
know.
A
You
know
it's
funny
when
I
look
at
this
draft
federal
legislative
agenda.
I
see
so
many
of
the
specific
things
you
council,
member
lee
have
brought
up
in
so
many
different
conversations.
So
I'm
seeing
a
lot
of
the
council
represented
here,
but
I
will
let
tony
answer
those
questions.
S
So
once
we
know
what
you
know,
what
the
specific
boundaries
are
around,
whatever,
whatever
those
pots
of
money
are,
then
we
will
share
that
with
the
team
in
the
city
and
then
we'll
begin
to
look
for
specific
projects
that
we
can
go
advocate
for,
and
so
it
is
a
little
bit
of
a
you
know.
Whatever
your
favorite
terminology
is
chicken
in
an
egg
thing
or
something
like
that,
but
part
of
the
reason
right.
It's
sort
of
we
wanted
to
put
up
there.
Okay,
let's
be
mindful
about
what
are
the
kind
of
key
priorities.
S
We
don't
need
to
be
super
specific
right
now.
We
need
to
be
clear
about
where
we're
going
to
be
seeking
funding
opportunities,
and
then
you
know,
as
things
begin
to
develop
whether
it's,
whether
the
infrastructure
legislation,
whether
those
what
those
grant
opportunities
look
like
once
we
see
those
then
we'll
match
up
where
those
funding
pots
are
with
items
into
our
in
our
agenda
and
then.
Secondly,
you
know
the
looking
ahead
to
the
fy
23
appropriations
project
process.
S
You
know
the
president
just
put
out
his
budget
about
a
month
ago,
congress
will
begin
to
have
hearings
on
their
spending
bills
and
begin
to
outline
where
they're
going
to
be
spending
money
and
as
we
go
through
that,
then
again
we'll
look
for
for
more
opportunities,
so
that
that's
just
kind
of
how
it
works,
and
so
you
know
one
of
the
things
to
be
to
take
into
mind
with
what
we've
got
here.
Is
you
know
this
is
this
is
not
a
static
document.
S
This
is
an
evergreen
document
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is,
you
know,
we're
nina
and
I
our
job
is
to
be
opportunistic
for
you
and
we
see.
Okay,
here's
some
funding,
some
some
emphasis
on
some
funding.
Let's
get
together
and
find
out
where
we
can
compete
with
projects,
and
then
you
know
it
kind
of
works.
That
way,
as
opposed
to
us
saying,
here's
10
projects,
we
want
funding.
Well,
we
can
list
all
the
projects
we
want
and
if
they're
not
funding
them,
we're
not
going
to
get
any
money
for
them.
A
Thank
you
good
explanation.
Let's
see
we
have
council
member
barksdale
and
then
council
members
on.
E
All
right,
thank
you
thanks,
tony
and
and
brianna
for
the
work
and
meeting
with
all
of
us
and
capturing
the
needs
and
interests.
I
also
thought
it
was
a
really
good
set
of
priorities
that
were
laid
out
in
focus.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
only
had
a
minor
request,
and
that
is
when
we
talk
about
small
business.
E
Small
business
can
be
a
relatively
speaking,
a
pretty
large
business,
and
so
I
wanted
to
know
if
we
could
clarify
by
adding
language
that
focuses
on
micro
businesses
as
well,
just
because
they
have
a
harder
time
really
moving
out
of
that
small,
that
really
that
micro
stage
into
a
small
business
and
maybe
into
something
greater,
and
so
I
would
love
if
we
could
bring
that
forward
a
bit
more
in
the
language,
maybe
just
by
saying
micro,
business
and
small
business.
You
bet.
H
N
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
I'm
excited
that
we
are
relaunching
our
federal
priorities.
I
was
blessed
to
be
able
to
go
back
to
dc
for
the
national
league
of
cities
and
this
particular
time
there
were
two
things:
they
talked
about:
the
arpa
funding
for
recovery
and
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
law.
N
Yes,
we
want
to
leverage
the
delegation
and
the
earmarks
and
with
the
bil
there
they
are
specifically
targeting
monies
that
only
go
to
cities
and
we're
only
competing
with
other
cities,
which
is
really
great,
and
I
think
the
only
thing
I
might
add
to
the
to
take
a
look
at
the
priorities
is
what
I
also
heard
was
the
word
shovel
worthy,
which
is
the.
How
do
we
look
at
using
the
money
to
reconnect
communities?
N
So
one
of
the
grants
they
talked
about
was
reconnecting
communities
like
a
lidded
park,
which
we
have
one
of
those
with
our
grant
connection
the
the
safe
streets
program,
where
what
we
heard
is
that
a
number
of
the
dollars
are
actually
specifically
focused
on
planning
efforts.
N
I
also
heard
some
things
around
economic
development
and
business
around
immigration
reform,
so
making
sure
that
if
there
is
an
appetite
in
at
the
federal
level
to
start
looking
at
that,
that
are
there
things
that
we
can
position
ourselves
for
that
as
well,
because
we
are
40
people
from
outside
of
our
country
in
bellevue.
N
N
So
I
think,
there's
a
number
of
things
here
and
just
excited
we're
going
to
have
our
priorities
and
and
I'm
assuming
lacey
jane
that
if
we
learn
more
and
we
want
to
position
ourselves
even
stronger
that
after
we
pass
the
priorities,
we
can
always
update
them
with
new
information
so
that
we
can
be
really
clear
about
all
of
the
things
that
we
can
position
ourselves
for
for
more
funding.
Is
that
correct.
H
That's
absolutely
right,
council
members
on-
and
I
think
you
heard
tony
use
the
word
evergreen,
which
I
think
is
a
great
word
and
very
pacific
northwest
of
ut,
say
tony
and
councilmember
zom.
We
always
appreciate
the
information
you
bring
back
from
nlc
and
other
sources.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
those
comments
and
we
will
keep
that
in
mind.
N
Yeah
and
and
then
lastly,
I
would
just
say
if
there's
something
we
want
to
bring
back
to
the
national
league
of
cities,
I
was
honored
to
join
their
board
of
directors
this
year
for
two
years
for
actually
yeah
two
years
and
so
there's
an
opportunity
to
leverage
the
broader
national
league
of
cities
to
move
forward
on
different
things
of
interest
to
bellevue
as
well.
So
thank
you.
A
I
would
I'll
go
next
and
if
anybody
else
wants
to
go
after
me,
just
please
raise
your
hand.
I
I
really
like
this.
I
you
know
we
talked
about
from
here
on.
I
really
want
everything
to
be
sustainable
and
equitable
in
everything
that
we
do
and
that
permeates
this
document
in
a
way
that
I
really
appreciate,
we
have
opportunities
for
growth
in
wilberton.
We
have
opportunities
for
growth
in
bellred
and
eastgate,
and
any
anything
that
we
can
apply
for
with
for
federal
funding
that
will
create
equitable
and
sustainable
development.
A
I
think
you
know
the
city
has
a
real
strong
appetite
for
and
that
that
means
you
know:
low
energy,
emission
development,
buildings,
alternative
modes
of
transportation,
affordable
housing
on
the
full
spectrum.
You
know
giving
people
opportunities
to
live
in
our
city,
people
from
all
different
kinds
of
walks
of
life
and
different
job
incomes,
and
so
I
feel
like
this.
A
This
really
supports
that
goal
for
me,
and
I
thank
you
for
incorporating
that
language
into
this.
I
also
want
to
say
that
our
representatives
were
incredibly
responsive
to
us
in
the
last
two
years,
especially
during
covid
and
senator
patty
murray
boy.
Did
she
really
bring
it
for
us?
You
know
all
the
emergency
funding
that
the
city
received.
She
was
in
contact
with
us
constantly
getting
data
from
our
human
service
providers,
finding
out
what
the
needs
were
and
where
the
funding
needed
to
go.
A
I
am
so
grateful
to
the
responsiveness
of
our
representatives
and
our
senate,
our
congressman
and
our
our
senators,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
very
gratified
for
that
and
and
tony
you've
been
very
helpful
in
maintaining
those
connections
and
carrying
our
message.
So
please
keep
it
up.
C
Yeah
I
want
to
thank
you
all
both
very,
very
much
on
this
as
well.
I'm
just
looking
at
something
here
and
on
my
screen
and
it's
it's
called
a
an
agenda
and
I
think
the
point
is-
and
I
I
think
this
is
a
really
great
agenda.
It's
not
a
detailed.
C
You
know
exposition
of
everything
we
want
to
look
at
and
that's
the
next
conversation
I
think,
and
so
it
it's
not
designed
to
go
into
specifics
or
how
many
dollars
or
what
each
other.
So
I
think
that's
that's.
A
good
approach
to
have
this
agenda
have
a
you
know
over
framework
and
that's
what
we're
talking
about
so
the
next
step,
and
I
think
we
should
adopt.
It
is
great,
and
the
next
step
is
how
do
we?
What
are
the
issues
we
are
this
specifically?
C
So
we
want
under
these
pieces
and
that's
the
next
thing
and,
like
you
say
in
this
fluid
and
it
can
be-
and
this
that's
when
we
have
these
conversations,
which
will
take
us
a
long
time
about,
should
how
much
do
we
need?
You
know
200
million
or
just
a
million
and
a
half
on
these,
and
what
are
these
other
pieces?
C
So
it's
really
good
work
and
appreciate
it
and
look
forward
to
working
with
both
of
you
going
forward
on
this,
and
I
think
we're
in
a
really
good
trajectory
on
this
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
we
have
you
know,
our
representatives
are
just
really
really
good
good
at
working
with
us
and
and
very
effective
in
the
legislature,
so
in
the
congress.
F
You
mayor
yeah,
I'm
ready
to
move
this
forward
and
adopt
this
as
well.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
tony
and
and
nina
and
lacy
jane
for
working
so
hard
on
on
this
agenda
and,
like
tony,
I
appreciate
you
kind
of
laying
out
the
process
here.
I
appreciate
council
member
lee
for
asking
in
terms
of
how
this
works
and
your
approach
to
secure
these
funds.
F
For
us
in
these
you
know
vastly
different
areas,
but
I
think
you've
just
captured
everything
quite
well
and
appreciate
the
time
you
took
to
really
dig
in
with
staff
and
with
with
our
council,
to
really
understand
where
the
the
key
areas
of
focus
are
for
for
for
the
city
of
bellevue,
where
our
interests
lie.
F
The
only
question
that
I
had,
because
I
I
believe
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
timeline,
but
I'm
just
curious
tony
when
you
think
there
might
be
some
some
some
updates,
and
you
know
you
know
what
we
might
have
a
chance
for
funding
other
areas
that
we've
backed
off,
because
it
doesn't
look
like
we
have
a
solid
chance,
we're
putting
our
efforts
into
you
know
these
three
areas,
because
I
love
the
agenda,
but
I
mean
it's
it's
hard
to
chase
everything
and
I
think
that's
part
of
your
process
is
find
out
where
we
have
the
best.
F
You
know
chance
of
success
and
and
and
to
really
focus
in
on
those
and
and
attack
those
and
hopefully
bring
some
some
some
funding
in
some
of
those
key
areas.
So
we
would
love
we'd
love
to
know
when
we
can
hear
or
hear
back
from
you
and
how
things
are
going
and
and
go
from
there.
S
Yeah,
that's
a
that's
a
great
all.
These
comments
are
right
on
point,
and
so
I
appreciate
that-
and
you
know
so
in
terms
of
check-in
lacie
and
jane,
and
I
were
talking
about
that
a
little
bit
this
morning.
So
it
is,
you
know
again
once
once
these
sort
of
I
call
them
rules
and
regulations.
However,
they're
deciding
they're
going
to
put
these
dollars
out
and
make
it
how
they're
going
to
have
us
compete
for
them.
S
You
know
we're
going
to
nana
and
I'll
put
something
together
that
will
be,
you
know,
obviously
shared
with
all
of
you
and
then
we'll
go
into
game
planning
with
everybody
here
and
so
we're
hoping
that
it's
soon.
I
can
tell
you
that
every
member
of
congress
running
for
for
a
re-election
in
november,
who
voted
for
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
legislation
is
anxiously
awaiting
for
those
they
want
to
get
to
work
on
those.
So
you
know
that
came
out
very
clearly
last
week,
so
one
there's
that
the
second
thing
is.
S
I
was
thinking
that
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
have
nina
and
I
come
back
in
what
I
call
the
mid-year.
So
you
know
that
again,
the
calendar
is
different
back
there,
so
by
mid-year
I
mean
september
october.
S
So
so
it'd
be
good
for
us
to
come
back
around
that
time
right
after
labor
day
and
talk
about
two
things.
One
give
you
a
good
solid
update
to
conrad's
questions
about
specifics
here
are
the
specific
areas
where
we're
we're
seeking
funding
and
here's
who's,
supporting
us
and
here's
how
that
process
is
going.
And,
secondly,
let's
talk
about
how
the
year
is
going
to
wrap
up
back
there
and
that
gets
to
these
appropriations
bills,
and
I
I
know
it's
a
little
confusing
to
follow
the
process.
For
me.
You
know
it's
so
ingrained
in
me.
S
It's
easy
to
think
about
it,
but
they
are
two
very
separate
processes.
One
is
the
here
and
now,
which
are
those
grants
and
all
those
and
then
the
other
one
is
looking
prospectively
at
what
the
budget
priorities
are
going
to
be
and
what
congress
is
going
to
pass
in
there
and
all
those
funding
bills
by
the
end
of
the
year.
S
S
They
know
what's
going
on
here
and
they're,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
how
to
connect
in
with
us,
which
is
why
one
of
the
reasons
we
decided
to
have
the
agenda,
be,
you
know
more
high
level
so
that
in
fact
they
get
to
look
at
it
and
say
hey.
You
know,
I
didn't
think
you
I
didn't
know
you
guys
cared
about
some
of
some
issues
that
I
really
wasn't
thinking
about.
S
I
was
thinking
transportation,
but
maybe
I
wasn't
thinking
environmental
issues
or
maybe
I
wasn't
thinking
some
of
these
issues
regarding
criminal
justice
or
whatever
they
might
be.
Let's
give
them
a
chance
to
say
hey.
I
want
to
connect
with
you
guys
and
work
together
with
you,
so
I
think
we're
finding
a
lot
of
desire
from
our
delegation
to
be
like
that,
and
then
you
know
it's
a
great
time
to
be
on
offense,
there's
money
out
there
and
we
should
go
compete
for
for
our
citizens
and
you
know,
as
a
business
owner
in
bellevue.
A
F
A
Well,
thank
you.
So
we
have
an
option
here,
but
I'd
like
to
speak
with
councilmember
barksdale.
For
a
moment,
you
brought
up
something
you
wanted
added
to
this
agenda
and
you
received
assurances
that
it
could
be
added.
Are
you
comfortable
with
voting
this
in
tonight,
understanding
that
there
your
changes
that
you're
hoping
for
will
be
made,
or
do
you
want
to
go
put
this
on
consent
for
next
time
and
during
the
week,
look
at
the
revisions.
E
A
A
A
Maybe
karen
we
could
ask
her
to
send
us
an
email
of
what
she
was
going
to
say
or
ask,
and
we
can
respond
at
our
next
meeting.
D
So
seeing
no
other
hands
raised
at
the
moment
that
therefore
ends
oral
community.
Oh
did
she
just
move
over?
No,
I
still
don't
see
her
see
no
other
hands
raised
at
the
moment
that
ends
oral
communications.
F
Mayor,
I
could
offer
the
number
if
you
wish
do
you
know
it?
Okay,
sure
you
can
call
two
five
three
253-215-8782.
A
Okay,
do
you
want
to?
Is
there
anything
else
we
can
do
crying,
or
should
we
move
on.
A
Well,
she
I
I
know
that
staff
has
her
email
address,
so
we
reach
out
to
her.
I
think
michelle's
on
the
call
here
and
and
ask
her
to
go
ahead
and
email
us
questions
or
comments.
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
So
we
have
two
study
session
items
tonight.
Mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
the
first
one.
A
G
Yeah,
that's
right!
Thank
you,
mayor
robinson
and
council
members.
You
have
two
topics
on
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening
and
the
first
one
is
a
review
of
the
transportation
commission's
recommendation
for
the
mobility
implementation
plan,
which
represents
an
essential
component
of
the
city's
multimodal
platform.
Tonight
staff
seeks
council
direction
to
return
at
a
future
meeting
with
a
resolution
to
adopt
the
mobility
implementation
plan.
G
Additionally,
the
transportation
commission
seeks
direction
to
work
with
the
transportation
staff
to
prepare
a
recommendation
for
amendments
to
the
traffic
standards
code,
which
is
consistent
with
the
2021
annual
amendments
to
the
comp
plan
and
the
mobile
implementation
plan.
So
joining
us
this
evening
is
andrew
cincolosis,
director
and
kevin
mcdonald
principal
planner,
both
from
the
transportation
department
and
we're
honored
to
have
joining
us
lorianna
marciante,
who
is
the
chair
of
the
transportation
commission
so
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
andrew
to
begin
the
presentation.
T
Thanks
and
kevin,
if
you
could
just
bring
up
the
powerpoint
well,
thank
you.
City
manager,
miyaki,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
members
of
the
council,
and
unfortunately,
maurianna
maciante
was
taken,
was,
is
ill
today
and
can't
join
us
at
the
meeting
tonight.
T
However,
you
do
have
the
letter
that
came
in
from
the
transportation
commission,
the
transmittal.
It
was
an
unanimous
recommendation
to
send
it
to
the
council
next
slide.
Please
and
as
brad
mentioned
the
last
time
you
saw
this
was
in
december
when
you
approved
comprehensive
plan
amendments
to
enable
multimodal
concurrency,
and
this
multimodal
work
has
been
in
progress
for
many
years
to
address
the
rapid
transformation
of
our
city.
T
We
are
a
different
community
than
we
were
back
in
the
1980s
and
90s
when
our
current
automobile
oriented
standards
for
concurrency
were
developed,
and
this
does
not
mean
that
the
automobile
is
not
important.
It
will
still
be
capacity.
Projects
still
be
the
majority
of
the
transportation
dollars
that
are
in
rcip,
but
with
the
mobility
implementation
plan.
U
Thank
you,
andrew
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members,
the
the
direction
that
staff
seeks
tonight
to
reiterate
the
the
city
manager's
long
recital
of
the
option
option
one
is
to
return
on
april
18th
with
the
resolution
to
adopt
the
mobility
implementation
plan,
but
our
work
is
not
done
with
that
adoption.
U
So
the
outline
tonight
for
you
is
a
review
of
the
recommended
mobility
implementation
plan
is
approved
by
the
the
transportation
commission
I'll
try.
It's
a
74-page
document,
I'll
try
to
condense
it
into
as
concise
summary
as
I
can.
It
does
cover
the
topic
of
multimodal
concurrency,
a
very
important
topic
for
bellevue's
growing
land
use
and
multimodal
approach
to
mobility
and
there's
there's
five
different
components
to
the
mobility
implementation
plan
and
I'll
go
over
those
briefly
and
expressed
that
this.
U
So
there's
two
major
components
to
this
mobility
implementation
plan.
Again,
the
multimodal
concurrency
policies
that
the
commission
adopted
back
in
june,
moved
through
the
annual
comprehensive
plan
amendment
process
through
the
planning
commission
and
went
to
the
the
council
for
approval
in
december
of
2021.
U
the
the
policies
that
the
council
approved
support,
a
multimodal
approach
to
mobility,
but
their
their
pop,
their
planning
level
policies
and
the
policies
refer
to
the
mobility
implementation
plan
for
the
details
of
how
the
policy
would
be
implemented.
So
the
bulk
of
the
mobility
implementation
plan
is
those
details.
It
describes
what
the
approach
is
to
multimodal
concurrency.
U
It
defines
geographic
areas
that
the
commission
refers
to
as
performance
management
areas
that
are
a
combination
of
land
use
and
transportation,
options
that
have
succinct
categories
within
the
city
and
then
significantly.
The
mip
describes
a
project,
identification
and
prioritization
process
that
helps
us
take
the
the
universe
of
mobility
projects
for
all
modes
and
sort
of
identifies
the
higher
priority
ones
that
can
be
moved
forward
to
the
council
for
consideration
for
funding.
U
To
implement
the
multimodal
concurrency
policy
is
the
the
upcoming
multimodal
concurrency
code.
Staff
is
sort
of
working
working
on
some
of
the
components
of
that
right
now
and
we'll
receive
direction
from
the
council
later
on
how
to
proceed.
But
basically
the
concurrency
code
is
a
supply
and
demand
calculation
with
the
supply
of
mobility
of
all
modes
being
made
available
through
the
cip,
the
funded
transportation
projects
and
the
demand
for
mobility
is
expressed
by
the
trips.
U
Of
course,
always
important
is
to
enhance
safety
wherever
we
can.
This
is
compatible
with
the
vision,
zero,
safe
systems,
approach
that
that
council
is
authorized
and
staff
is
pursuing
right
now.
U
U
The
mobility
implementation
plan
is
intended
to
support
growth
and
and
in
in
in
the
effort
of
supporting
that
growth
do
so
in
a
multi-modal
fashion
and
and
the
aqueous
access
and
mobility
part
of
the
mobility
implementation
plan
is
to
make
sure
that
that
there's
connections
that
that
help
people
to
reach
their
destination.
U
Performance
metrics
are
what
would
be
measured
and
the
performance
target
is
the
user
experience
when
they're
using
any
particular
mode
so
for
for
the
pedestrian
network,
the
performance
metrics
and
what
we
measure
are
sidewalks
and
the
frequency
of
crossings
of
of
the
arterial
network
for
the
bicycle
facilities
or
the
bicycle
network.
The
type
of
bicycle
facility
describes
both
the
metric
and
the
target
for
transit
travel.
U
U
The
transit
network.
Access
to
the
transit
network
is
really
important.
The
mobility
implementation
plan
describes
how
people
how
the
city
can
can
affect
people's
ease
of
getting
to
and
from
transit
and
the
amenities
of
the
experience
at
the
at
the
bus
stops
and
as
andrew
mentioned,
the
mip
still
considers
vehicles
a
high
priority
in
the
vehicle
network.
Both
at
intersections
and
along
corridors
are
are
key
components
of
the
mobility
implementation
plan.
U
The
the
commission
has
described
four
to
four
or
three
different
types
of
performance
management
areas.
These
essentially
collapse
the
the
mobility
management
areas
that
were
in
the
old
comprehensive
plan
into
three
different
types
based
on
the
land,
use
characteristics
and
mobility
options
with
the
type
one
pma
performance
management
area
being
the
high
density
mixed
use,
areas
of
the
city
that
have
or
will
have
light
rail
as
one
of
the
mobility
options
serving
them
and
those
are
are
represented
by
downtown
bell
red
and
the
wilberton
east
main
area.
U
U
U
That's
a
performance
target
gap
that
isn't
that's
a
location
where
we
should
look
to
see
if
there's
an
improvement
that
we
could
make
with
an
investment
to
help
improve
that
performance.
But
we
recognize-
and
as
this
budget
season
I
know
and
we
recognize
resources
are
limited
and
projects
are
many.
Therefore,
we
we
do
have
to
go
through
a
prioritization
process,
and
the
initial
screening
of
that
prioritization
process
is
the
mobility
implementation
plan
goals
does
does
a
project.
U
That's
that
meets
that
helps
to
fill
that
performance
target
gap
meet
the
goals
of
the
of
the
mip
and
then,
if
it
does,
that
project
can
then
go
through
other
considerations
of
really
related
to
land,
use,
environmental
constraints,
fiscal
responsibilities,
etc.
To
come
up
with
a
project
list
that
becomes
a
candidate
for
the
the
cip.
U
U
Not
only
did
they
do
a
lot
of
work
during
live
commission
meetings,
but
we
had
a
lot
of
briefings
with
commissions
offline
so
that
people
could
really
understand
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
mobility
implementation
plan
and
and
also
as
part
of
the
council
meeting
or
commission
meetings.
Written
in
oral
communications
were
part
of
the
the
public
record
to
establish
this
mip.
U
We
provided
briefings
to
local
organizations
like
the
bda.
The
chamber
are
our
friends
at
the
east
side,
transportation,
association,
kind
of
the
regional
american
planning
association
group
and,
of
course,
we
work
through
the
planning
commission
in
the
east
bellevue
community
council,
as
well
on
development
of
policies
and
part
of
the
mobility
implementation
plan
and
the
the
commission
sort
of
contributed
to
the
the
questions
and
the
analysis
of
the
responses.
U
U
So
I
tried
to
condense
the
timeline,
the
the
really
long
timeline
into
something
that
fit
on
the
page.
But
again
the
commission
met
20
separate
times
on
the
mobility
implementation
plan.
U
City
council,
of
course,
was
engaged
along
the
way
in
indicating,
as
indicated
in
this
timeline
by
the
the
brown
points
of
time
on
the
calendar,
we
worked
with
the
planning
commission
again
to
develop
the
multimodal
concurrency
policies
that
you
approved
in
in
december,
and
we
had
three
engagements
with
the
east.
Bellevue
community
council
specifically
related
to
the
policies,
because
that
was
their
role,
but
they
also
provided
information
relevant
to
the
content
of
the
mobility
implementation
plan
itself.
U
The
mit
doesn't
necessarily
prescribe
everything
that
we
should
do,
but
it
provides
the
tools
that
give
us
the
capacity
to
analyze
concurrency,
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
right
performance
measuring
in
terms
of
the
metrics
and
the
targets
and
identifies
a
process
that
we
can
use
to
identify
and
prioritize
projects
of
all
modes.
That
will
contribute
to
a
complete
and
comprehensive
transportation
network
that
serves
everybody
in
bellevue.
U
I
you
know
speak
on
behalf
of
the
transportation
commission.
I
guess
tonight
because
our
chair
is
not
able
to
join
us,
but
our
transportation
commission
really
dug
into
this
work
and
they
really
appreciated
the
responsibility
that
you
gave
them
to
do
this
really
important
and
really
transformational
work
for
the
city
of
bellevue.
I
want
to
acknowledge
our
former
council
liaison
jennifer
robertson,
who
also
can't
be
here
with
us
tonight.
U
She
was
instrumental
in
helping
helping
to
guide
the
commission,
and
our
current
council
lies
on
janice
song,
who
goes
way
back
with
multimodal
mobility
during
her
work
on
the
transportation
commission
back
in
the
in
the
the
mid
20
teens,
a
lot
of
the
work
that
she
did
when
she
was
on.
The
commission
is
foundational
to
the
work
that
the
commission
approved
back
in
march
and
is
before
you
tonight
for
consideration
and
with
that.
U
A
N
Yes
well,
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
kevin
and
the
whole
transportation
commission.
I
do
remember
us
talking
about
concurrency
and
the
multimodal
level
of
service,
even
when
I
was
on
the
transportation
commission.
What
was
that
five
six
years
ago?
So
it's
it's
exciting
to
see
it
come
to
fruition
in
having
this
mobility
implementation
plan
and
especially
because
it
is
sustainable,
equitable
and
multimodal,
and
it
positions
us
so
well
for
what
we
were
talking
about
earlier,
around
federal
and
state
funding
to
in
even
move
our
implementation
plan
faster.
N
So
I'm
super
excited
about
both
the
integrated,
interconnected
systems
approach,
as
well
as
what
you
mentioned
kevin
about
the
fact
that
this
is
also
providing
regional
compatibility
on
concurrency
with
our
neighboring
cities.
So
to
me
you
know,
transportation
doesn't
end
in
our
borders.
So
the
fact
that
there
is
alignment
and
consistency,
I
think,
makes
everything
work
even
better
and
to
me
this
is
we
are.
N
We
are
going
to
be
a
really
good
model
for
other
cities
to
take
a
look
at
what
we're
doing
and
potentially
look
at
pieces
of
what
we
have
for,
how
we
measure
performance
and
on
right,
ped,
bike
transit
as
well
as
vehicles,
so
super
excited
about
this
work
and
so
many
hours
that
were
committed
to
make
this
happen.
So
I
really
appreciate
it
and
look
forward
to
its
adoption
by
the
council.
Thank
you.
E
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
many
thanks,
kevin
and
and
transportation
staff
and
the
transportation,
commission
and
council
liaison
zone
and
robertson.
E
I
just
had
a
couple
of
one
comment
and
a
question
and
the
the
comment
is
you
know
I
would
love
when
we
do
these
briefings
to
make
sure
that
we're
including
community-based
organizations
that
are
you
know
that
have
a
pulse
of
you
know
the
members
of
our
community,
who
are
who
might
be
most
impacted
or
strongly
also
strongly
impacted
by
the
services
that
we
provide,
and
I
just
I
didn't
see
that
in
the
list-
and
I
think
that's
something
that
I
would
like
us
to
do
in
the
future
and
not
just
assume
that
they're
going
to
reply
to
the
survey
or
engage
as
individual
community
members.
E
My
question
is,
I
I
didn't
really
see
much
in
the,
and
I
have
the
plan
up
here
on
my
screen
on
performance
targets
and
performance.
Metrics
transit
is
there
and
it
seems
to
mean
bus
and
I,
even
in
some
of
the
language
where
it's
you
know,
percent
of
bus
stops
in
the
frequent
transit
network.
That
include
all
five
passenger
amenities,
and
I
guess
it
was
there
discussion
about
including
light
rail
on
this
and
I
and
before
you
before
you
answer.
I
know
I
appreciate
the
conversation
before
counseling.
E
I
know
that
it's
not
in
our
control,
but
from
our
community
members
perspective.
They
don't
know
whose
control
what
is
in,
and
I
think
we're
missing
an
opportunity
to
really
tie
together
how
the
syst,
where
the,
where
there
are
gaps
in
the
system,
if
we're
not
measuring
it,
just
because
it's
not
within
our
control.
U
U
So
we
tried,
with
with
respect
to
to
transit,
one
of
the
things
that
the
commission
wanted
to
make
sure
and-
and
you
you,
you
know
correctly
characterized
this
is
they
wanted
to
make
sure
the
mobility
implementation
plan
identified
the
the
types
of
mobility
components
that
the
city
could
control,
therefore
be
accountable
for
in
in
terms
of
of
budgeting
and
priorities.
Prioritization.
U
One
thing
that
the
commission
did
note
is
that
in
the
the
comprehensive
plan
itself,
there
is
a
lot
of
policy
related
to
transit.
There's
there's
about
40
policies
in
the
in
the
the
comprehensive
plan
that
talk
about
transit
about
20
of
those
are
specific
to
high-capacity
transit,
but
the
planning
for
it,
the
the
the
the
the
design
of
the
system,
the
the
components
of
the
station,
the
construction
and
the
service
provision
is
all
identified
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
U
So
the
commission
didn't
necessarily
want
to
be
duplicative
of
of
work
that
that
had
already
been
done
in
in
the
context
of
the
comp
plan.
E
Great,
I
I
appreciate
that
reply
on
the
community
based
organizations-
I
guess
I'm
I'm
thinking
more
of
like
the
not
just
neighborhoods
but
more
like
iaw
or
ics.
E
Central
culture
in
mexico,
I'm
thinking
about
those
organizations
that
also
reflect
people
of
color,
but
so
maybe
happy
to
follow
up
offline
with
that.
I,
although
we
don't
have
direct
control
over
light
rail
just
like
we
don't
have
direct
control
over
bus
transit.
E
I
understand
that
they
operate
on
our
streets,
but
I
do
think
it's
an
opportunity
to
understand
the
other,
metrics
and
context
of
trying
to
access
transit,
and
I
light
rail-
and
I
guess
my
ask
would
be-
and
I'm
curious
what
other
council
members
think
would
at
least
to
include
some
language
so
that
it's
transit
is
explicitly
accounting
for
bus
and
light
rail.
And
we
don't
have
to
define
performance
metrics
tonight.
But
I
guess
I
would
would
like
for
it
to
speak.
T
And
we've
worked
on
some
language
that
we
could
insert
into
the
document
when
we
bring
it
back
next
week,
just
to
characterize
what
light
rail
you
know
how
it
relates
being
defined
basically
of
our
transit
system
in
the
city,
and
we
could
add,
we
could
put
that
in
to
the
document
that
you
see
next
week.
E
Okay
and
maybe
some
other
language
in
the
targets
and
metrics,
if,
if
we
could
just
to
acknowledge
it,
that's
part
of
what
will
be
measured
too.
U
Council,
member
barksdale,
we'll
we'll
have
you
take
another
leap
of
faith
that
staff
can
incorporate
the
the
comments
that
you
have.
I
I've
actually,
you
know
been
been
thinking
about
what
what
what
you've
been
telling
us
over
the
last
week
or
so
as
we've
engaged
in
offline
briefings
and
I've
tried
to
provide
I've
tried
to
create
some
draft
language
that
can
be
embedded
in
the
in
the
mobility
implementation
plan
for
your
approval
next
week.
A
B
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
you
mentioning
that
and
I
thank
the
com,
the
staff
mentioning
about
councilman,
robertson
and
zhang,
and
actually
I
was
the
liaison
before
councilmember
robertson
and
in
fact
I
was
on
the
first
transportation
commission
that
was
established
by
cd
bellevue
and
that's
when
we're
talking
about
concurrency
and
so
concurrency
after
28
years.
It's
finally
coming
to
a
much
better
standards.
B
B
However,
I
think
what
councilmember
boxley
just
mentioned,
that
there's
a
lot
of
detail
that
need
to
be
worked
on,
and
so
I'm
very
comfortable
with
the
policy,
which
is
what
the
council
provided,
but
we
also
in
my
briefing,
I
talked
to
the
staff
and
we
agreed
that
some
details
are
very
challenging
number
one
in
how
to
create
the
standard.
Now
we
have
to
learn.
You
know
we
don't
know
everything,
because
they
have
data
that
we're.
B
You
know
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
we
are
looking
at
how
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
the
right
systems.
You
know
that
we
actually
build
a
hot
build
system
that
will
be
used.
You
know
our
goal
is
to
actually
to
reflect
what
the
people's
actual
use
would
be,
and
we
can,
you
know,
obviously
provide
some.
You
know
estimates
or
guesses,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
data
to
make
sure
we
can
track
it.
So
we
can
make
adjustments.
B
So
I
would
like
to
see
if
the
staff
and
the
player
the
commission
had
actually
considered
some
of
that
detail.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
it's
not
just
built
and
the
people
will
come?
But
actually
you
know
that's
not
enough.
What
kind
of
incentive
and
all
you
know,
carrots
we
may
provide
if
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
use
the
system
that
we
are
paying
money
to
provide
and
if
they
don't,
maybe
we
can
make
corrections,
adjustments
and
be
flexible
about
it.
So
I
think
there's
a
certain
physical
responsibility.
B
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
practical
implementation
and
also
there's
tradeoffs.
You
know
between
land
use,
apps
and
other
things
that
we
see
that
we
can
come
on.
Technology
is
another
one.
You
know
I'm
you
know,
I'm
really
big
on
that.
So
so
that's
going
to
be
some
of
those
considerations.
B
So
if
the
staff
might
be
able
to
say
something
about
what
the
commission
has
really
looking
to
consider
and
what
kind
of
provisions
that
we
might
be
making
to
include
some
of
this,
this
kind
of
considerations-
and
if
it
is
not,
maybe
we
need
to
provide
some
language
as
well
to
make
sure
that
you
know
like
a
council
member
box
they
mentioned
provide
for
you
know
possible
inclusions.
U
So
councilmember
lee
the
the
planning
your
transportation
commission
gave
a
lot
of
consideration
to
all
the
points
that
you
mentioned.
U
U
Specifically,
the
commission
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
performance
targets
that
were
addressed
were
the
ones
that
were
completely
missing
in
the
system.
The
missing
sidewalk
system,
the
segment,
the
the
bicycles,
the
bicycle
network
that
didn't
have
a
bicycle
facility
on
it.
The
commission
recognized
that
filling
the
gaps
is
the
most
important
thing
we
can
do
to
create
a
complete
and
connected
system,
so
they
built
that
into
the
mobility
implementation
plan.
U
They
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
plan
was
was
responsive
to
the
needs
of
the
growing
community
and
that's
why
they.
They
chose
those
performance
management
areas
they
they.
They
recognize
that
those
are
the
places
that
are
going
to
have
the
most
growth
they're
going
to
generate
the
most
person
trips
from
that
new
growth
and
therefore
would
be
really
important
to
make
sure
that
the
transfer
transportation
network
of
all
modes
is
complete
and
connected
within
and
between
those
those
performance
management
areas.
U
So
in
in
terms
of
use
the
how
many
people
might
use
it,
the
commission
assumed
that
in
those
in
those
higher
density,
performance
management,
areas,
filling
the
gaps
would
create
a
greater
amount
of
use,
especially
for
the
pedestrian,
bicycle
and
transit
system.
Although
we
don't
have,
we
don't
have
any
modeling
tools
to
predict,
numerically
how
many
people
might
use
a
specific
sidewalk
system,
for
instance,.
B
B
U
Thank
you
sure,
chapter
six
in
the
in
the
mit
is
the
entire
process
for
identification
and
prioritization.
It
certainly
includes
the
ultimate
decision
maker,
which
is
the
the
city
council.
A
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor,
followed
by
council
member
stokes.
F
Oh
thank
you
mayor.
First
of
all,
great
presentation,
andrew
kevin,
really
really
well
done
and
really
want
to
thank
the
the
the
commission
for
just
doing
incredible
work
on
this
and
chair
marciante.
F
If
I
pronounce
that
correctly,
I
hope
you're
feeling
better
if
you're
watching
tonight
and
appreciate
your
hard
work
and
wish
you
could
have
joined
us
tonight.
Just
two
quick
questions
for
me
or,
I
believe,
they're
short
questions,
but
first
one
would
be
well.
First,
a
comment.
F
F
It
was
certainly
very
comprehensive,
but
I
I
was
also
curious
because
you've
got
all
the
major
stakeholders
here
and
the
briefings
that
you
did
curious
if
there
was
some
additional
experts
or
stakeholders
that
have
a
specific
expertise
in
transportation.
So
I
see
they
did
some
briefings
with
the
east
side,
transportation
association,
but
I
wonder,
for
example,
from
a
from
a
bike
perspective.
F
Did
we
talk
to
experts,
like
you
know,
like
a
cascade,
bicycle
club
or
another
type
of
organization?
That
would
provide
some
input
in
terms
of
our
bike
facility.
So
that's
one
question
that
I
had
and
then
also
during
those
briefings
just
curious
if
you
could
share
one
or
two
examples
of
any
concerns
that
they
might
may
have
had
ebcc
or
whoever
that
you,
you
or
the
commission
tweet
the
mobility
implementation
plan
based
on
some
of
those
some
of
some
of
those
comments.
F
So
those
are
the
two
questions
that
I
had
for
you,
but
again
great
presentation
and
happy
to
move
this
move
this
forward
tonight.
U
Thank
you
for
thank
you
for
the
compliment
and
for
the
questions
deputy
mayor.
We
did
not
hear
specifically
from
the
cascade
bike
club.
Surprisingly,
we
made
outreach
attempts
to
them,
but
they
didn't
come
to
any
of
our
commission
meetings.
Nor
did
they
invite
me
to
a
board
member
or
board
meeting
at
cascade
okay.
So
we
we
we
tried,
but
we
have
to
appreciate
what's
ourselves,
but
we
did.
We
did
get
a
lot
of
comments
during
the
briefings
and
in
in
in
in
comments
to
the
commission
directly
during
written
and
oral
communications.
U
Interestingly-
and
I
always
take
this
as
a
compliment
when
people
provide
comments
that
are
nitpicking
about
punctuation
or
lines
on
the
map
that
we
didn't
quite
get
right,
which
which
was
a
lot
of
the
public
comment,
that
we
got,
because
that
that
indicates
to
me
that
we
got
the
substance
pretty
much
close
right.
So
there
were,
you
know,
issues
related
to
the
the
the
performance
targets
for
for
vehicles,
as
you
can
expect.
U
The
the
the
eta
wanted
to
have
lower
standards
for
for
vehicles
allow
allowing
for
a
lower
volume
to
capacity
ratio
at
intersections
not
to
get
too
technical,
but
but
you
know
to
go
the
to
go
the
way
that
would
have
inspired
the
creation
of
larger
intersections
to
accommodate
more
traffic
to
achieve
a
better
level
of
service
which
is
kind
of
the
opposite
of
the
way.
The
commission
wanted
to
go.
U
The
commission
sort
of
decreased
the
performance
target
by
about
five
percent
at
some
intersections,
going
in
downtown,
for
instance,
from
0.95
to
1.0,
as
the
volume
to
capacity
ratio
performance
target
for
intersections.
So
the
commission
didn't
do
a
lot
of
of
major
adjustments
relative
to
input
on
that
they
received
from
different
different
people
organizations,
but
we
did
correct
all
the
punctuation
and
the
lines
on
the
map.
F
Great
thanks,
kevin
and
one
just
final
comment
that
I
really
appreciate
highlighting
the
commissioners
in
the
presentation
not
sure
we
do
that
enough.
They
do
so
much
great
work
for
the
city
and
provide
this
council
with
so
much
incredibly
good
feedback
and
insights
that
we
always
appreciate
so
much
so
really
appreciate
you
highlighting
them
in
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
C
Yeah,
this
is
a
really
really
great
work.
That's
been
done.
You
know,
we've
I've
followed
this.
The
time
I've
been
here.
I
haven't
been
on
the
transportation
commission
itself,
but
getting
started
with
working
on
the
light
rail
team
and
everything
and
on
forward
and
all
the
other
stuff
we've
done.
C
It's
just
a
grand
progression
and
you've
really
taken
this
to
a
high
level
and
where
I
think
skillfully
put,
this
forward
is
not
just
an
automobile
centric
mobility
plan,
but
one
that
is
comprehensive
and
it
kind
of
gets
that
question
about
which
I
am
kind
of
interested
in
and
seeing
the
full
details
of
how
the
the
rail
system
performs
how
the
buses
perform
and
other
forms
of
transportation
all
fit
in
with
cars,
bikes
and
and
people
walking.
C
I
mean
it's,
it's
a
whole
holistic
thing
and
I
know
it's
a
little
hard
to
kind
of
put
those
together
because
there
are
other
jurisdictions.
It's
not
part
part
of
the
transportation
commission's
you
know
purview
but
just
like
when
we
were
doing
the
light
rail
in
in
you
know,
starting
in
2012
and
on
working
on
that
the
transportation,
the
roads
and
all
these
other
pieces
were
taken
into
account
with
that.
C
Sidewalks
and
everything
that
we
are
being
cognizant
of
the
impact
that
the
light
rail
will
have
and
cognizant
of
the
the
impact
that
the
bus
transportation
system
will
have
as
well.
So
it
is
comprehensive
and
I
know
that's
you
know
we-
it's
always
hard
to
get
these
things
set
up,
because
things
have
been
a
little
they're
little
boxes
in
a
sense.
C
But
so
I
think
that's
something
we
just
keep
in
mind,
and
I
I
appreciate
the
comments
have
been
made
by
all
three
council
members
here
before
on
this
and
the
I
think
it's
also
interesting
in
in
in
in
terms
of
the
up
the
the
communication
and
input
from
from
the
community,
and
it's
always
difficult,
I
think,
to
look
at
it
and
get
community
input.
C
You
know
when
you
say
you
had
550
people
responding
to
us
and
and
that's
from
a
city
of
140
000
people,
it
kind
of
makes
you
wonder,
I'm
sure
you
got
a
lot
more
input
than
just
that
that
group,
but
they're
they're
represented.
You
understand
that
and
you
took
a
lot
of
other
efforts
in
this.
So
it's
kind
of
hard
to
to
really
you
have
to
be.
I
know
you
have
to
be
careful
not
to
have
just
the
people
who
show
up.
C
I
have
a
lot
of
influence
on
it,
but
it
sounds
to
me
like
we've
done
a
lot
of
good
outreach
as
well
in
other
ways.
So
I
think
that's
very
positive
and
I
think
the
you
know
the
decision
decision
making
is,
as
noted
is
by
the
commission,
and
they
make
you
know
their
decision
recommendations.
C
And
then
the
final
decision
is
made
by
the
council
and
it
always
is
helpful
when
the
commission,
you
know
really,
is
comprehensive
and
does
great
work
and
comes
to
the
council,
and
then
you
know
it's
it's
not
so
much
remaking
decisions,
but
just
making
sure
and
kind
of
you
know
giving
a
little
perspective
to
it,
and
it
sounds
to
me
like
that's
what
the
commission
has
done,
and
I
want
to
give
them
great
kudos
for
for
their
work
on
this
and
again,
I
think
it's
just
important
that
we
really
make
sure
we
do
have
a
complete
multimodal
and
multimodal
includes
more
than
just
what
the
trans
the
commission
has
kind
of
direct
jurisdiction
over,
but
that
we
really
are
putting
this
together
in
a
way
that
is
comprehensive,
because
you
know
when
we
we
did
things
like
even
the
eastgate
land
use
planning
back
years
ago.
C
C
So
again,
I
I
appreciate
and
hope
that
we
keep
being
very
comprehensive
in
this
because
it
won't
work
well
if
we're
not,
but
I
I
think,
we're
on
a
really
good
path
and
really
excited
to
see
this
go
forward
and
and
start
to
start
working
on
the
implementation
on
it
and
again
kudos
to
the
to
the
commission
and
and
the
leadership
that's
been
applied
for
all
these
years,
from
the
council
and
from
the
community
and
and
from
the
staff
good
presentation.
I'm
ready
to
move
this
thing
along.
A
Thank
you.
I
have
to
say
when
I
read
this,
I
was
so
impressed
with
this
product
and
I'm
just
so
grateful
to
the
transportation
commission
and
chair
marciante
and
all
the
work
that
everybody
involved
in
this
has
has
done.
It's
really
it's
a
great
product
and
I'm
I'm
very
anxious
to
move
it
forward
as
well.
A
When
I
look
at
the
goals
of
this
it's
to
improve
safety,
address
equity,
accommodate
growth
and
improve
access
and
mobility,
I
I
would
love
to
see
the
goals
read
something
like
improve
safety
for
all,
accommodate
growth
for
and
improve
access
and
mobility
for
all
and
also
include
sustainability
in
there
as
a
goal,
because
I
think,
even
though
the
product
is
really
good,
I
I
think
that
you
need
to
start
with
some
stronger
goals
than
what
we
have
and
we're
growing
so
much
in
our
understanding
of
what's
important
in
our
city
and
what
our
priorities
are,
and
I
think
our
priorities
really
are
better
reflected
in
in
you
know,
making
sure
that
whatever
we
do,
it's
for
everybody,
no
matter
what
your
ability
and
that
we
focus
on
sustainability
as
well.
A
So
that's
that's
my
only
comment,
but
I
I
really
like
this
implementation
plan
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
having
it
come
back
and
and
approve
it.
So
any
other
comments
or
questions
not
seeing
any
so
is
deputy
mayor.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
motion.
F
Certainly
mayor,
I
moved
direct
to
direct
staff
to
return
with
the
resolution
to
adopt
the
mobility
implementation
plan,
as
recommended
by
the
transportation
commission
and
direct
the
transportation
commission
to
work
with
staff
to
prepare
a
recommendation
for
amendments
to
the
traffic
standards
code.
Second,.
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed
and
again
I
know
you
know
this
kevin,
but
we
asked
for
an
edited
in
the
packet,
so
we
can
see
what
the
changes
are
before
we
vote
for
it:
okay,
okay,
terrific,
thank
you.
So
it
is
some
council
members.
Thank
you.
G
G
Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
robinson,
council
members.
The
next
topic
is
a
for
this
evening
is
a
progress
report
on
implementation
of
bellevue's,
affordable
housing
strategy
and
just
by
way
of
background,
the
strategy
was
adopted
in
june
of
2017,
with
the
purpose
of
improving,
affordable
housing
opportunities
across
the
city
also
covered
tonight
will
be
a
review
of
upcoming,
affordable
housing
actions
from
the
current
strategy
and,
lastly,
future
housing.
Work
that
are
being
that
is
being
contemplated.
G
Tonight's
session
is
informational
and
therefore
no
formal
action
is
being
requested
from
the
council
this
evening.
But
obviously
your
questions
and
feedback
are
very
much
welcome.
Joining
us
this
evening
are
mike
brennan,
deputy
city
manager,
emile
king
assistant,
director
and
tara
johnson,
comprehensive
planning
manager
from
the
community
development
department.
V
Thanks,
mr
miyaki
good
evening,
amir
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
council
members,
I'm
just
going
to
make
a
few
opening
comments
on
this
one,
the
need
for
more
affordable
housing
in
bellevue
and
housing.
For
that
matter
is
a
subject
we
probably
hear
about
or
read
about
daily.
There's
really,
no
question
that
this
is
really
a
critical
issue
for
us
in
bellevue
and
in
the
region.
Tonight,
emil
and
tara
will
provide
an
update
on
the
progress
of
implementing
the
council's
affordable
housing
strategy.
V
They
also
share
data
on
affordable
housing
units
that
have
been
created
due
to
code
changes,
investments
and
partnerships
that
have
been
adopted
by
the
council
and
also
we'll
discuss
the
work,
that's
currently
underway
to
meet
this
important
and
and
growing
emerging
need
tonight.
You
also
hear
about
a
process
that
we've
initiated
to
identify
what
we've
characterized
as
the
next
right
work
to
create,
affordable
housing
and
promote
housing
development
in
the
city.
V
This
effort
was
identified
in
the
land,
use
and
planning
work
plan
that
the
council
saw
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
The
approach
is
a
little
different
that
we're
taking
with
this.
This
work
we're
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
various
stakeholder
groups
to
solicit
input
on
a
wide
range
of
options
to
create
housing
and
affordable
housing.
V
We've
contracted
with
a
consultant
that
will
help
us
facilitate
those
discussions
and
again
we'll
be
reaching
out
to
a
range
of
stakeholders
that
have
an
interest
in
in
housing
and
affordable
housing
in
the
city,
so
we'll
be
exploring
options
like
broad
policies,
setting
minimum
housing
requirements
for
rezoned
properties,
additional
parking
reductions
near
light
rail
code,
amendments
to
allow
detached
accessory
dwelling
units,
additional
incentives
to
create
affordable
housing
and
and
and
additional
items
beyond
that,
including
items
that
we
may
not
have
identified
yet.
V
But
our
stakeholders
may
identify
and
suggest
as
part
of
of
this
effort,
the
hope
is
that
we
can
find
consensus
on
a
list
of
priorities,
understanding
that
the
conversation
will
probably
result
in
some
strong
opinions
for
and
against
some
of
these
ideas
as
they're
moving
forward.
So
the
council
may
expect
to
hear
some
concerns
expressed
along
the
way,
as
we
hold
these
conversations
over
the
next
six
to
eight
weeks.
V
But
again,
the
the
goal
is
to
bring
back
to
the
council
for
your
consideration,
the
the
essential
we're
calling
the
next
right
work
to
move
forward
to
create
that
housing
and
affordable
housing
in
this
city.
That
is
so
so
desperately
needed
right
now
to
meet
the
growing
demands
of
the
city
and
of
our
employers
that
are
moving
into
the
city.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
emil
and
tara
who
can
walk
you
through
the
work?
V
That's
been
done
and
a
little
bit
more
about
our
strategies
to
identify
that
next
right,
work,
emil,
tara,.
W
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
city
manager,
miyaki
and
deputy
city
manager,
brennan
and
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
implementing
the
city's
affordable
housing
strategy,
as
you've
just
heard,
is
one
of
council's
key
near-term
priorities
and
an
urgent
topic.
As
we
all
know-
and
we
are
addressing
this
through
a
number
of
initiatives
that
you'll
be
hearing
about
tonight
because
of
the
significant
work
on
affordable
housing
and
our
city
needs.
We
do
this
update
to
council
every
six
months
to
keep
the
topic
front
and
center.
W
W
Some
of
the
recent
successes
of
the
city
and
other
partners
in
funding
and
developing
affordable
housing
in
bellevue
we'll
highlight
some
of
our
ongoing
work.
That
includes
significant
code
and
policy
work,
as
well
as
some
funding
processes
and
finally,
we'll
give
an
overview
of
the
process
to
identify
the
upcoming
work
program.
So
tonight
you're
going
to
be
hearing
about
us
looking
back
a
bit
at
the
beginning,
but
definitely
we're
going
to
be
shifting
gears
to
look
forward
during
the
second
half
of
the
presentation.
O
I
know
you're
very
familiar
with
this,
given
that
we
come
to
you
twice
a
year,
but
just
for
those
members
of
the
public
that
are
tuning
in
the
affordable
housing
strategy
was
adopted
in
2017
and,
of
course,
as
you
you're
very
familiar
with,
it
incorporates
21
actions
under
five
overall
strategies,
as
as
you'll
see
shortly,
we've
made
substantive
success
towards
the
overall
goal
of
2500
units
within
a
10-year
period
with
the,
but
the
expectation
that
we
could
certainly
exceed
that
goal
and
then,
as
both
emil
and
mike
have
pointed
out,
we're
going
to
be
discussing
the
next
grouping
of
affordable
housing
work
that
we're
anticipating
that
will
come
before
the
council
shortly.
O
So
in
terms
of
metrics-
and
this
is
something
council
looks
forward
to,
I
think,
with
our
updates.
We've
achieved
a
total
of
1500
units
approximately
over
the
last
five
years
since
the
affordable
housing
strategies
adoption
it
does
include
both
preservation
units
of
678
units
and
then
also
shelter
beds.
So
it
incorporates
all
those
units
as
part
of
that
overall
number.
O
O
since
then,
we-
and
I
believe
we
brought
this
to
you.
This
city
worked
very
closely
with
king
county
housing
authority
and
amazon
to
preserve
36
units
at
the
zero
to
30
percent
emi
level.
So
that
was
certainly
a
huge
success.
O
You've
also
probably
read
announcements
that
amazon
is
partnering
with
sound
transit
to
produce
233,
affordable
units
at
the
omfv
site,
and
then
additionally,
we've
heard
news
that
dash
and
srm
are
moving
forward
with
235
units
southeast
of
downtown
again
partnering
with
microsoft
there,
so
some
substantive
successes
that
have
occurred
very
recently.
O
In
addition,
we
also
have
mary's
place.
That's
now
located
in
downtown
bellevue.
It
was
an
old
hotel,
that's
been
utilized
and
it
included
98
rooms.
I
believe,
and
currently
it
provides
90
units
of
housing
for
families
at
the
risk
going
into
homelessness.
It
also
incorporates
wraparound
services
that
are
provided
on
site.
O
O
That
went
through
the
process
in
mid-2021
and
since
then,
we've
heard
we've
had
lots
of
interactions
with
the
development
community
moving
forward
and
taking
advantage
of
this
program.
O
In
addition,
as
you
know,
we're
very
we've
been
working
internally
and
then
presenting
to
city
council
a
program
around
house
bill.
1590
we've
come
before
you
several
times
with
two
different
rfps
one
for
human
services
and
the
yep,
the
other
for
capital
service
allocation
council
awarded
1.7
million
to
its
behavioral
health
services
last
year,
and
then
earlier
this
year,
relief
council
awarded
1.6
million
towards
life
wire,
which
was
on
the
capital
site.
O
In
addition,
we
came
before
you
with
a
density
bonus
for
faith-owned
properties,
called
the
c1
density
bonus,
provided
a
50
additional
bonus
for
affordable
housing,
that's
located
on
faith
owned
and
surplus
and
non-profit
sites,
and
then
of
course,
december
of
last
year.
The
east
main
luca
that
moved
forward
through
the
process
did
incorporate
incentives
for
affordable
housing.
So
we
anticipate
that
we'll
be
seeing
affordable
housing
as
part
of
that
development.
O
O
O
What
we're
calling
a
c1
map
amendments
for
targeted
properties
and
that's
something
council
provided
direct
some
direction
when
we
brought
forward
the
density
bonus
provisions
last
year,
so
that
should
be
coming
back
forward
before
council
fairly
soon.
We
also
have
more
work.
That's
ongoing
around
the
house
hospital
1590
program
that
will
be
coming
forward
to
you
and
staff
is
continuing
work
on
producing
a
community
engagement
guide,
which
will
be
which
will
be
a
good
resource
for
the
nonprofit
community
and
then
we're
also
working
on
several
fronts.
O
There's
a
lot
of
work
relating
to
affordable
housing
targets
through
the
reach,
our
regional
partners
and
then
also,
which
would
tie
into
a
comprehensive
plan
periodic
update,
there's
also
legislation
for
different
housing
types
missing
middle,
which
you
heard
a
little
bit
about
during
your
legislative
update
and
then
we're
actively
working
on
pre-launch
for
wilburton,
which
will
be
coming
before
council.
Shortly.
O
W
Tara,
as
you've
just
heard
the
city
and
our
partners
have
made
significant
progress
on
the
2017-2027
strategy,
as
initiatives
such
as
east
main
have
been
put
in
place
and
the
mfde
program
and
other
code
refinements
are
being
used.
Now
is
a
good
time
to
think
about
the
upcoming
work
program
and
what
additional
actions
the
city
may
want
to
pursue
next
slide.
Please
start.
W
Overall
needs
for
affordable
housing
and
affordable
housing
options
in
bellevue
and
the
region
are
significant.
As
we
know,
the
city
will
be
updating
its
housing
needs
assessment
that
looks
at
the
full
range
of
incomes
in
the
city
as
well
as
the
associated
housing
needs,
so
not
only
the
zero
to
eighty
percent
ami
but
ami
levels
above
eighty
percent
as
well.
W
W
W
Process
is
going
to
include
a
stakeholder
engagement
phase
with
a
report
back
to
council.
Following
that
stakeholder
engagement,
we
wanted
to
give
council
a
brief
overview
of
some
of
the
initial
considerations
that
we're
going
to
use
to
help
frame
our
engagement
with
the
stakeholders
and
I'll
briefly
go
through
these.
For
for
council,
the
first
one
about
geographic
distribution
and
expanding
typologies
is
about
where
new
housing
and
affordable
housing
opportunities
should
occur
in
the
city.
W
So
the
geographic
distribution
across
the
city,
as
well
as
what
type
of
typologies
or
housing
types
may
be
appropriate
in
different
areas
of
bellevue.
The
second
consideration
is
the
expected
housing
unit
production
tied
to
a
specific
action.
Some
might
be
higher
producers
and
others
might
be
anticipated
to
produce
at
a
lower
level.
W
W
W
There's
a
number
of
ideas
that
we're
going
to
be
discussing
with
the
stakeholders.
The
list
of
ideas
is
populated
from
past
council
discussions,
the
previous,
affordable
housing,
technical
advisory
group
and
a
lot
of
the
ongoing
dialogue
with
the
community.
So
the
groupings
for
the
next
strike
work
ideas
are
shown
on
this
slide.
You'll
see
a
mix
of
housing,
supply
and
affordability,
topics,
you'll
see,
opportunities
for
ownership
models
and
new
housing
types
such
as
data's,
as
well
as
additional
incentives
for
housing.
W
There's
been
interest
in
how
to
streamline
the
process
to
use
rezones
for
housing
sites,
as
opposed
to
the
longer
process
for
a
comp
plan
amendment
and
then
a
rezone
land
is
expensive
in
bellevue,
as
council
knows,
and
continues
to
increase
at
a
higher
rate,
so
we'll
be
looking
at
a
potential
formal
land
acquisition
strategy
that
might
help
mitigate
these
land
increases
there'll
be
discussion
of
how
we
can
assure
that
housing
is
keeping
up
with
job
growth,
because
this
can
be
done
through
actions
such
as
housing
minimums
or
increased
incentives
for
housing
production.
W
The
idea
of
potential
mandatory,
affordable
housing
is
on
the
list
as
well,
and,
finally,
the
topic
of
potential
new
revenue
sources,
such
as
housing
levy
as
an
example
or
a
fee
for
commercial
development
that
goes
to
housing,
is
also
on
the
list.
So,
as
deputy
city
manager
brennan
described,
this
would
be
a
starter
list
and
clearly,
if
stakeholders
had
other
ideas
or
refinements
we'd
want
to
hear
those
from
our
stakeholder
groups
next
slide.
Please.
W
So,
as
we
draw
on
to
a
conclusion
of
tonight's
presentation,
here's
a
summary
of
the
next
right
work
process.
There
is
a
strong
need
to
identify
these
next
actions
for
the
city
and
we
are
now
going
full
force
ahead
to
work
on
this
stakeholder
engagement
process
and
then
report
back
to
the
council.
So,
let's
move
on
to
the
concluding
slide
and
happy
to
to
go
back
to
slides
if
needed.
W
A
Thank
you.
Let
me
change
my
screen
here,
so
you
know
it
looks
like
we're
meeting
our
original
goals,
10-year
goals,
which
is
great,
so
I
think
you
know
what
staff
wants
to
find
out
is
how
you
feel
about
the
considerations
and
the
next
steps
that
have
been
outlined.
A
C
I
have
to
say
this
is
this
was
really.
I
was
really
looking
forward
to
the
presentation
and
everything
and
I
was
very,
very
pleased
and
struck
with
the
the
complexity
and
the
depth
that
you've
gone
on
this.
I
I
really
like
this,
and
you
know
I
said
before
you
know
we're
not
in
2017
anymore
and
frankly,
2017
is
another
another
plan
in
a
sense
with
all
this
happening
between
now
and
and
then
so
I
I
you
know,
you
can
always
ask
questions
about
things,
but
I
don't.
C
I
think
that
would
be
at
this
point,
I'm
just
kind
of
back
and
forth
just
to
hear
ourselves
talk
on
things,
and
I
I
really
like
this.
I
was
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
it
what
my
my
concerns
are
and
again
I
you
know,
we
don't
need
to
ask
questions
and
get
some
answers
to
it,
but
what
my
concerns
are
is
that
we're
still
basing
this
on
what
we
came
up
with
in
2017
and,
yes,
we
have
achieved
those.
C
I
think
I
think
the
what
we
looked
at
then
was
different
considerably
from
what
we're
looking
at
now,
and
I
think
to
your
credit
you're
addressing
that,
and
that's
that's
what's
important,
you
know
one
of
the
questions
I
guess
would
be
is
I
don't
think
you
have
answers
because
we're
still
working
on
it?
C
It's
part
of
your
plan,
but
how
many
new
new,
affordable
housing
units
do
we
actually
need
based
on
the
number
of
people
who
are
here,
how
things
are
changing
about
the
economy
and
everything
else,
because
we
kind
of
still
get
in
this?
Well,
we
said
2500
and
we
got
it
and
we
counted
with
a
lot
of
different
things
that
that
really,
when
you
look
at
the
numbers
of
new
units,
it's
been
very,
very
good,
but
it's
not
anywhere
near
what
it
takes
to
get
actually
to
address
the
need.
C
I
think
we
have
the
capacity
to
do
that.
I
think
we
have
plans
going
forward
on
this
and
you
know-
and
there
are
things
like
well.
The
mary's
place
is
interesting
because
mary's
place
just
added
some
90
or
80
90
rooms,
but
mary's
place
is
temporary.
So
you
know
these
things
are
changing
all
the
time
and
I
am
concerned
about
the
changes
in
the
community
and
we,
you
know,
hear
a
lot
about
the
changes
in
the
housing.
C
What's
new
housing
being
put
up
a
lot
of
housing,
that's
affordable
is
not
there
anymore.
There
are
houses
that
in
places
where
people
have
been
in
for
a
long
time
and
what
happens?
How
do
we,
you
know?
How
do
we
deal
with
another
highland
village?
C
All
these
other
things,
so
it's
complex
and
again
to
your
credit
on
this,
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
this.
This
is
a
very
comprehensive
and
very
bold
plan
to
move
forward
on
this.
C
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
work.
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
money
and-
and
the
council,
you
know,
really
gets
just
needs
to
get
behind
this,
and
we
have
to
have
some
conversations
between
now
and
when
you
come
back
with
this
on
some
of
the
tougher
issues
about
what
do
we
put
in
place
and
what
you
know,
how
can
we
and
really
make
a
very
up-to-date,
thorough,
accurate
account
of
what
do
we
really
need?
And
what
do
we
really
have
now?
C
I
think
we've
done
a
great
job,
but
I
think
we
have
a
just
a
tremendous
job
ahead
of
us
and
I
think
we're
able
to
to
take
it
on
and
I'm
personally
very
heartened
by
the
work
you've
done
here
and
the
way
you
set
this
out.
So
I'm
ready
to
to
to
start
to
work
on
this
and
look
forward
to
your
coming
back
with
and
having
these
discussions
with
us
on
and
and
with
the
stakeholders
and
we're
getting
more
and
more
people
as
stakeholders.
C
I
think
we've
made
changes
and
a
lot
of
attitudes
in
the
community
that
are
positive
on
this,
and
you
know
we
have
these
conversations
with
the
legislators
today.
I
think
they're
things
we
need
to
keep
pushing
from
that
level
and
I'm
just
very
excited
about
it
and
looking
forward
to
moving
this
forward.
You
know,
as
I
said,
the
2017
10-year
program
that
that's
that
was
then.
C
This
is
now,
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
to
your
work
and
coming
back
and
having
these
discussions
and
sometimes
having
it
set
up,
so
we
can
have
some
really
some
good
briefings
and
also
some
really
hardy
discussions
at
council
with
a
lot
of
enough
time
to
actually
get
into
some
details
with
him
back
and
forth.
So
I
don't
have
any
questions.
My
only
question
is,
is
you
know
tell
us,
help
us
help
us
realize
or
know
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
this
move.
C
We
can
we
can
give
you
our
ideas
and
community,
give
your
idea
ideas,
but
you,
the
staff,
knows
how
to
get
this
stuff
done
and
what
needs
to
be
done.
So,
let's
continue
to
have
a
really
good
conversation
and
work
together
on
this.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
speak
and
then
I'll
go
to
councilmember
barksdale.
First
of
all,
I'm
really
excited
to
be
attacking
this
again
and
I
have
mixed
emotions,
I'm
kind
of
conflicted.
On
the
one
hand
you
know,
I
look
at
some
of
the
things
that
have
worked
and
I'm
so
excited
like
the
mfte.
A
We
have
funding
through
various
sources
and
yet,
when
you
count
the
number
of
units
that
are
actually
being
created,
it's
just
woefully
small
and
yes,
we
we're
making
our
10-year
goal.
But
that's
that
was
a
very,
very
low
goal,
and
so
you
know
I'm
anxious
to
re-up
our
commitment
and
renew
our
goal
and
to
council
member
stokes
point.
You
know:
hdc
housing
development
consortium
gave
us
a
goal
of
a
thousand
units
a
year
and
I
love
to
see
what
staff
thinks
is
a
reasonable
goal,
if
that
is
a
reasonable
goal.
A
But
I'd
also
like
to
look
at
partnering
with
our
other
cities,
and
we
do
that
through
arch,
and
I
would
love
to
look
at
increasing
our
funding
to
arch
so
that
we
can
take
the
the
funding
that
we
have
through
the
1590
and
other
sources,
if
possible,
and
and
be
good
partners
to
the
region
and
see
if
we
can
create.
You
know
the
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
in
the
region
that
we
need
to
have
it's
just
not
it's
not
just
bellevue.
That
needs
to
do
this.
A
It's
the
whole
region
and
we're
lucky
to
have
the
staff
support
that
we
have
and
a
plan
that
we
have
and
the
council
support-
and
I
I
like
to
you
know-
be
successful
as
a
city
but
also
in
the
region,
so
on
slide
16,
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
bring
it
back
up,
but
it
talks
about
key
considerations
and
I
would
love
sustainable
to
be
part
of
that.
I
know
that
actually,
that
is
mentioned
in
our
original,
affordable
housing
plan
strategies,
understanding
that
sustainable
development
lowers
the
cost
of
living
there.
A
So
I'd
like
to
be
one
that
to
be
one
of
the
key
considerations-
and
I
I
do
have
to
say
you
know
in
the
numbers
that
you're
reporting
here,
you're
counting
how
many
units
since
2017
but
remember
we
started
with
about
1300,
affordable
housing
units,
which
is
not
that
much
but
at
least
it's
more.
A
The
total
the
affordable
housing
units
in
the
city
is
a
lot
bigger
than
what
we've
created
since
2017.
But
we
it's
never
it's
not
enough.
I
very
understand
very
much
understand
that.
So,
let's
see
make
sure
I
I
think,
that's
it.
I
think
I'm
mostly
curious
about
how
we
can
reset
the
goal
for
how
many
units
we
create,
whether
it's
in
the
next
10
years,
or
whether
it's
how
many
we
create
every
year
from
here
on
out.
W
Yeah,
we'll
we'll
have
a
process
underway
shortly
on
the
city's
standpoint,
as
well
as
working
with
the
the
arch
consortium
on
both
affordable
housing
need
and
then
looking
at
the
different
cities
and
what
they're
actually
renewing
as
their
updated
targets.
So
it's
a
you
know
a
number
of
months
of
work
still,
but
that
is
where
we're
just
excited
about
the
council
and
updating
that
needs
and
target
number.
So
we
can
get
to
work
on
things
and
I
will
make
that
change
on
the
considerations
as
well.
Mayor.
A
Oh
thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
councilmember
barksdale,
followed
by
council
members
on.
E
All
right,
thank
you
thanks
mike
email
and
tar
for
the
presentation
really
appreciate
it,
and
I
like
the
direction
that
it's
headed
in
and
all
the
work
that
you've
already
done
today.
I
just
I
do
have
a
few,
maybe
additional
considerations
for
consideration.
E
I
would
love
your
feedback
on
this
too,
so
one
is
difficulty
to
redo
or
opportunity
costs.
So
if
we
are
10
years
down
the
road
and
it's
something
that
makes
more
sense
to
do
now
as
we're
growing
as
opposed
to
trying
to
go
back
and
redo
or
implement
policy
based
on
like
after
we've
already
grown,
I
think
that
would
be
one
span
of
use
cases.
E
I
think
it's
related
to
ami
level
in
some
sense,
but
it's
still
different
it's
if
it
addresses
more
people
or
across
people
across
more
life
stages.
Things
like
that.
I
think
that's
a
really
good
consideration
and
then
the
third
one
is
which
which
projects
are
more
government
apparent,
meaning
are
they
less
like?
Which
ones
are
less
likely
to
happen?
E
If,
if
we
don't
do
them,
if
that
makes
sense-
and
I
I
imagine-
that's
usually
going
to
be
the
ones
that
are
at
the
lower
ami
levels,
because
it
just
doesn't
pencil
for
market
rate
developers
and
such
the
last
two
things
one,
I
think
the
implication
from
the
chart.
It
doesn't
tell
what
the
ami
is
for
for
a
bellevue.
It's
for
ctac
bellevue,
which
has
a
pretty
broad
range.
E
When
I
look
up
the
ami
from
in
the
chart,
it
implies
sort
of
80
000,
I
guess
or
so
80
to
90
000
ami
for
ttac
bellevue.
But
when
I
look
at
the
ami
for
bellevue,
it's
129
000
in
20
20
when
I
look
on
the
census
site.
E
So
if
we
could
make
that
explicit
and-
and
if
I
would
imagine
we're
skewing
on
the
higher
end
in
terms
of
area
median
income,
so
I'd
be
interested
in
how
we're
reconciling
the
difference
between
the
average
for
a
ctag,
valveview
and
bellevue,
and
I
think
that
influence
the
reason
I'm
raising
is
because
I
think
it
influences
what
we
consider
in
terms
of
ami
actions
and
affordability.
E
Last
thing
in
terms
of
housing
need,
like
the
mayor
mentioned,
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
that
result
because,
as
I
understand
it,
and
I
totally
understand
why
it
was
the
way
it
was
in
2017,
it
was.
The
strategy
was
based
on
tools
available
instead
of
need.
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
need.
Just
three
really
quick
questions.
Is
that
going
to
be
broken
out
by
ami?
The
need
we're
going
to
buy?
Am
I
level
what's
a
pathway
to
lower?
I
don't
expect
to
have
answered
this
one
tonight.
E
So
what
I'd
be
interested
in
what
that
pathway
is
to
to
getting
more
of
that
lower
income,
lower
ami
housing
I
mean,
and
then
how
are
we
future
proofing
our
our
strategy,
the
update,
so
is
it
going
to
be
based
on
a
future
growth
trend
in
king
county,
and
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
mitigate
you
know
we're
in
2022
the
last
one
was
done
in
2027
and
10
years
out
and
we're
sort
of
like
you
know,
growth
has
sort.
W
Okay,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
hit
some
of
these
questions
that
you
had
council
member
burke,
stale
on
the
three
ideas
for
kind
of
modified
or
potential
new
considerations.
I
think
the
staff
and
our
consultant
we
can
take
that
into
account
as
we
kind
of
refine
these.
I
I
think
a
couple
of
them
might
nest
under
things
like
either
opportunities
for
partnerships
and
clearly
the
the
ami
level
one.
W
We
can
break
down
a
bit
of
the
span
of
use
cases,
as
you
mentioned,
and
then
the
difficult
to
redo
or
opportunity,
cost
that
isn't
a
good
one
to
put
in
there.
We
often
need
to
define
opportunity
cost
for
the
the
lay
person
involved
with
the
in
the
stakeholder
engagement,
but
that's
a
that's
a
good
one
to
add
as
well
you're
correct
in
noting
that
the
county
area,
median
income
is
different
than
the
bellevue
area
median
income.
W
So
I
think
at
our
when
we
come
back
to
council
to
report
back
on
on
this
work,
we
can
kind
of
dig
a
bit
deeper
on
those
differences
between
ami
levels
and
some
of
the
pros
and
cons
of
using
different,
different
ami
levels
for
different
cities.
So
that
is
a
good
point
that
you've
made
about
the
county
versus
the
bellevue
ami
level.
W
Let's
see
as
far
as
the
the
needs
assessment,
it
will
be
broken
down
by
ami
level.
That
is
the
way
to
do.
It
is
as
well
as
housing
typology.
So
those
are
two
facets
to
be
thinking
about
for
the
needs
assessment
and
then
the
the
final
one
about
kind
of
future
proofing
and
setting
setting
up
that
feedback
loop
and
getting
better
information.
W
The
county
planning
policies
have
actually
called
for
what
I'm
going
to
call
a
more
robust
reporting
structure
for
cities
with
the
assistance
of
arch
in
the
county.
So
I
think
I
see
a
benefit
of
a
more
rigorous
way
that
bellevue
and
others
are
actually
going
to
collect
information
over
time
and
be
a
bit
more
accountable
on
on
the
targets
that
are
set
for
individual
cities
and
the
and
the
county.
So
I
think
there's
some
positive
steps
in
that
direction.
Council
member
park
still.
E
That's
great
to
hear
thank
you.
A
N
Council
members
on
yes,
thank
you,
you
know
thank
you
mike
emil
and
thera.
This
is
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
working
on
this
right
now.
I
think
we
need
to
move
with
even
more
urgency
and
to
scale
up.
I
agree
with
the
mayor
to
include
sustainability
in
here.
These
every
one
of
these
units
are
going
to
last
well
beyond
the
2050.
Where
we're
supposed
to
be.
You
know
carbon
neutral,
so
taking
care
of
that
will
be
important.
N
I
would
like
to
comment
on
the
shelter,
preservation
and
new
units,
and
I
would
like
to
see
those
reported
separately
because
shelter
is
is
not
permanent.
Housing
and
preservation
is
not
adding
more
units.
So
while
we
want
to
count
those
other
two
categories,
I
do
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
lumping
them
all
in
as
part
of
adding
more
supply.
N
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
thinking
about,
the
other
one
is
the
whether
we're
thinking
about
both
rentals
and
home
ownership.
N
So
whether
we
could
look
at
some
strategies
to
help
with
that
piece
as
well
on
the
stakeholder
outreach
yeah,
whether
we
can
there's
ways
to
meet
people
where
they
are
because
I
I
know
sometimes
it
can
be
challenging
to
reach
the
very
community
that
we're
trying
to
reach
so
that
piece.
I
agree
with
councilmember
bartsdale
about
if
we
can
separate
out
into
the
30
60
80
the
ami
levels,
to
better
understand.
N
N
Where
we've
got
some
things
done
and
then
on
e2,
where
that's
the
piece
around
the
10.2
million
of
of
funds
available.
I'm
not
sure
that
we
should
be
checking
the
box
there
either
because
we
may
find,
as
your
presentation
shows,
that
to
build
to
the
scale
and
number
of
units
that
we
are
trying
to
that.
N
That
may
still
be
insufficient
to
build
to
the
scale,
even
with
partners,
and
then,
lastly,
I'm
excited
about
having
the
community
engagement
guide
for
the
permanent
supportive
housing,
because
I
do
believe
that,
as
we
move
forward,
having
that
guide
available
for
developers
will
be
even
more
important
to
help
our
community
understand,
as
well
as
our
developers
about
what
the
needs
are
around
permanent
supportive
housing.
N
So,
anyway,
all
in
all,
I'm
super
excited
about
us
moving
forward
with
this
work
and
leveraging
and
working
with
our
partners
how
to
best
leverage,
the
1590
money,
potentially
bonding
against
future
revenues,
and
really
it's
going
to
take
everyone
all
hands
on
deck,
to
move
to
the
scale
that
we
need
to
for
housing
and
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
So
I
did
have
some
questions
embedded
in
there.
Thank
you.
W
I'll
go
ahead
and
answer
a
few
of
those
questions.
If
it's
okay,
mayor,
let's
see
as
far
as
the
reporting,
we
will
kind
of
clean
up
the
way
that
we're
reporting
just
to
not
have
any
confusion
with
the
the
shelter
units
and
the
preservation
units,
so
they
will
be
shown
probably
on
the
same
page
but
we'll
clearly
define
which
ones
are
our
new
units.
Since
that's
a
a
key
issue,
we
will
be
dealing
with
rental
and
ownership
in
the
in
the
the
next
ideas
work.
W
The
next
right
work,
so
those
are
both
included
in
there
micro
units
you're
correct
that
we
haven't
done
the
the
code
work
to
actually
kind
of
enable
any
micro
unit
developments.
It's
really
if
you,
if
you
read
the
affordable
housing
strategy,
it's
about
parking,
so
it's
potentially
removing
parking.
W
So
that
would
be
part
of
the
next
right
work
discussion
to
talk
about
micro
unit
opportunities
on
the
we'll
go
we'll
go
in
and
look
at
the
table
in
the
packet
and
kind
of
how
we're
reporting
on
the
the
e2
and
b2.
I
would
agree
with
you
that
it's
either
a
an
ongoing
or
a
half
check
mark
on
the
accessory
dwelling
unit
discussion
because
that's
not
fully
complete,
but
it
is,
you
know,
partial
work
done
on
that
as
far
as
adus,
but
not
on
the
datu's.
W
At
this
point,
let's
see
we're
we're
really
excited
about
getting
the
the
engagement
guide,
kind
of
polished
up
and
ready
for
you.
So
there's
ongoing
work
on
that
one
and
we
are
working
with
our
outreach
staff
on
trying
to
meet
people
where
they
are
as
far
as
the
stakeholder
engagement
and
that's
for
all
the
all
the
groups
on
the
list.
There
definitely
are
some
preferences
for
how
we
can
engage
people
the
best
moving
forward.
So
I
think
I
I
think
I
have
most
of
those
council
members
on.
N
W
Yeah
apologize
for
that
one,
so
we
look
at
it
two
ways.
We
look
at
existing
deficiency
of
units
so
that
one's
relatively
straightforward,
where
you're
looking
at
ami
levels
and
actual
units
in
the
city,
affordable
at
that
level
and
then
the
a
bit
more
complicated
one,
is
looking
at
our
vision,
2050
and
our
our
king
county
target
for
the
35
000
housing
units
and
then
looking
at
what
percentiles
those
new
units
should
be
from
an
ami
level.
So
we
do
both
look
at
it
current
and
into
the
future
as
well.
A
Councilmember
lee
would
you
allow
me
to
comment
on
one
thing:
I'm
on
the
county's,
affordable
housing
committee
council,
members
on
and
we've
had
long
discussions
about,
whether
to
count
preserved
housing
as
new,
affordable
housing
units
or
not.
And
one
thing
to
consider-
and
I
don't
know
we
don't
know-
nobody
knows
the
answer
to
this.
A
But
one
thing
to
think
about
is
that
we
have
a
lot
of
older
apartments
that
are
naturally
affordable,
that
we
don't
count
into
our
affordable
housing
stock
and
any
any
affordable
housing
that
is
preserved
is
a
unit
that
has
gone
on
the
market
that
is
about
to
be
purchased
by
a
developer
for
high-end
housing,
so
when
it
gets
purchased
by
an
agency
that
then
preserves
it
as
permanent,
affordable
housing.
A
In
my
opinion,
we
should
count
that,
because
that
is
permanent,
that's
now
protected
from
development
and
we're
and
that's
a
permanent,
affordable
housing,
more
so
even
than
mfte
units.
A
So
that's
just
kind
of
my
opinion
and
what
I
represent
when
we
talk
about
it
at
the
county
level,
but
that's
a
conversation
I'd
like
to
hear
from
staff
at
some
point.
N
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
do
think
it
should
be
counted.
I
guess
what
I'm
thinking
is
that
it
should
be
counted
as
part
of
the
preservation
of
stock,
which
I
think
you're
talking
about,
so
that
we're
not
actually
taking
a
subtraction
of
affordable
housing
units,
but
it's
a,
I
think.
It's
a
both
end.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
As
you
know,
as
we
all
know,
this
is
a
very
important.
You
know
high
priority
for
the
city,
but
we
know
housing
you
know
is
a
big
big
challenge
and
but
I'm
very
glad
to
see
that
the
progress
that
the
staff
and
we
are
making
it's
it's.
You
know
it's
impressive.
B
B
But
the
point
is
that
it's
a
work
in
progress
and
I'm
glad
that
we
have
made
you
the
staff,
have
the
progress
we
have
and
that
allows
you
to
learn
from
what
we
have
done,
what
we
may
not
have
done,
and
now
you
are
able
to
look
at
other
things,
that
we
could
do
other
programs,
other
opportunities,
other
ways
to
increase
the
housing
supply
and
they
are
more.
B
You
know
obviously
they're
different
kinds,
and
I
think
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
suggestions
we
have
made
or
the
consummate
I
did
like
sustainability
and
this
and
rental
and
ownership,
and
so
on.
So
on,
but
I
think
this
all
and
other
things
we
haven't
even
talked
about
and
considered.
B
You'll
talk
about
the
various
ways
of
doing
it,
you're
talking
about
different
considerations,
and
so
you
know
keep
on
doing
what
you're
doing
and
the
council
will
make
you
make
give
you
suggestions
and
other
people
are
the
partners.
You
know
they
would
be
climbing
on
the
scene,
and
so
the
only
thing
I
would
say
is:
oh
you
know
we
will
continue
to
give
you
suggestions
and
ideas
and
the
staff.
B
You
would
continue
to
move
forward
and
you
know
see
what
we
can
do
and
also
thank
you
for
doing
what
you've
done
and
thanks
to
all
the
people
that
are
making
all
the
suggestions
and
recommendations
and
working
toward
the
goal
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
and
more.
Of
course,
we
don't
know
the
goal
so
he's
moving
right.
It's
always
moving
forward.
It's
always
increasing.
C
Yeah,
just
a
couple
of
things
mayor,
I
really
appreciate
and
want
one
to
you
know
mention
the
the
regional
cooperation
and
and
all
that
that
is
very
important.
I
mean
these,
you
know
this
problem
is
not
just
in
bellevue
and
the
province
is
not
in
kirkland
or
anyplace
else,
and
we
are
working
together
and
I
I
think
one
of
the
things
we've
done
is
is
actually
move
arch,
its
abilities
and
scope
and
everything
higher,
and
there
are
other
organizations
working
with.
C
So
I
just
wanted
to
complement
you
for
bringing
that
forward
and
believing
in
that,
because
I
think
that's
that's
a
key
to
this
as
well.
The
other
factor
is
that,
and
I
appreciate
the
conversation
you're
having
we
had
on.
You
know
the
preserved
housing
and
it's
it's
a
complex
piece.
C
I
mean,
obviously,
if
we
have
two
thousand
people
in
preserved
housing
now
and
we
have
five
thousand
people
who
need
housing,
counting
the
two
thousand
doesn't
house,
the
five
thousand,
but
people
in
the
2000
are
going
to
not
be
there
or
the
housing.
As
you
said,
you
know
another
highland
village
thing
comes
up,
so
it's
it's
a
complex
and
they
have
to
look
at
that
way
and
I
think
that's
where
you're
approaching
it
too,
and
it's
it's
important
to
be
aware
of
those
that's
all
connected,
but
the
overall.
C
The
thing
we
really
are
trying
to
tackle
that
we
haven't
done
well
on,
is
as
much
as
we
can
is
the
people
who
are
unhoused
now
and
they're,
not
in
a
preserved
house
or
they're,
not
in
another
house,
and
how?
How
do
we
deal
with
that?
So
it's
complex,
but
I
think
by
peeling
it
out
like
this
and
talking
about.
I
think
we
can
approach
it
and
come
up
to
solutions
that
you
know
put
it
all
put
it
all
together.
C
I
think
we're
doing
some
really
great
conversation
and
thinking
about
this,
and
certainly
staff
has
so
very
good.
This
is
this
is
a
just
amazing
plan
going
forward,
I'm
very,
very
proud
of
it.
A
Great,
thank
you
deputy
mayor,
I'm
sorry,
I
skipped
over
you
and
I'm
so
eager
to
listen
to
councilmember
stokes
again,
so
would
you
like
to
weigh
in.
F
Thanks
mayor
no
worries,
no,
I
mean
excellent
conversation
this
evening
on
this
topic,
a
lot
of
good
questions.
Some
of
my
colleagues
meet.
You
beat
me
to
the
punch
with
some
of
those
questions,
but
questions
that
need
to
be
asked.
I
appreciate
it
and
thara
and
emil,
really
appreciate
you
highlighting
a
lot
of
the
great
work
the
city
has
done.
F
I
mean
I'm
not
sure
if
everyone
saw,
but
the
fact
that
there
are
no
examples
of
the
new
mfte
not
being
used
is
extraordinary,
and
I
think
that
will
only
increase
in
terms
of
number
of
units
going
forward
being
created,
as
well
as
the
1590
money,
where
that's
going.
The
mary's
plagues
the
project,
partnerships
that
we're
seeing
with
amazon
and
sound
transit
and
dash
and
sram
and
microsoft.
So
while
the
numbers
are
currently,
I
don't
think
anyone
is
satisfied
with
and
clearly
we
need
to
reset
that
goal.
F
But
I
just
also
feel,
like
momentum
is
really
starting
to
also
move
on
this
as
well,
and
I
think
the
number
of
units
being
created
is
only
going
to
increase
dramatically,
especially
especially
as
we
look
forward
on
further
developing
this
plan,
resetting
our
goals
etc,
but
really
like
the
plan
really
like
the
way
this
is
laid
out.
I
really
like
the
considerations
as
well
as
we
look
to
move
forward.
F
I
don't
think
it
was
mentioned,
but
I
mean
I
would
love
to
also
see
as
part
of
those
considerations,
an
analysis
of
what
other
municipalities
have
done.
What
has
worked?
What
hasn't
worked
just
in
case
we're
we're
we're
missing
something
I
think
you
you
know
in
those
considerations,
have
all
the
big
buckets
there,
but
we
just
love
to
see
if
there's
anything
else,
that
we
can
learn
from
what
other
municipalities
have
done
in
terms
of
similar
size
cities
that
are
experiencing
tremendous
growth.
F
I
think
that
would
be
still
worth
worth
our
time
to
do
that,
but
great
presentation
and
yeah
ready
ready
to
really
dive
into
this
and
and
start
moving
this
forward.
Thank
you.
A
A
Okay,
great
well,
thank
you
very
much.
That
brings
us
to
the
end
of
our
meeting.
We
are
adjourned
and
we
will
see
you
next
week
in
person.
Oh,
my
goodness,
that
will
be
that
will
be
exciting.
All
right,
goodnight
everybody.
