And
whereas
the
observance
of
black
history
month
calls
our
attention
to
the
continued
need
to
battle
racism
and
build
a
more
just
society
that
lives
up
to
our
democratic
ideals.
And
it
serves
as
both
the
celebration
and
a
powerful
reminder
that
black
history
is
american
history.
And
whereas
the
disturbing
events
our
nation
has
endured
over
the
last
several
years
reminds
us
that
we
have
far
to
go
to
end
racial
injustice
and
inequity
in
our
nation
and
local
communities.
H
And
whereas
the
city
of
bellevue
is
strongly
committed
to
ensuring
access,
equity,
inclusion
and
opportunity
for
all.
And
whereas
we
strive
to
raise
awareness
of
the
history
and
contributions
of
communities
of
color
through
the
city's
black
history
month,
events,
including
our
featured
speaker
and
author
merritt
d
long
on
february
1st.
H
Now,
therefore,
I,
on
behalf
of
lynn,
robinson
mayor
of
the
city
of
bellevue
washington
and
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
february
2022
as
black
history
month
and
urge
all
residents
to
join
us
as
we
reflect
on
our
shared
history,
commemorate
and
reaffirm
the
contributions
of
black
people
to
our
communities,
our
country
and
to
the
world,
and
continue
efforts
to
battle
racism
and
to
build
a
society
that
is
more
just
peaceful
and
prosperous.
For
all.
B
F
And
whereas
people
born
this
year
are
said
to
assume
the
traits
of
a
tiger
including
resilience
and
strength.
And
whereas,
while
in
person
gatherings
are
more
challenging
because
of
cobit
19,
the
city
of
bellevue
hopes.
Our
community
can
celebrate
and
enjoy
virtually
the
various
cultural
events
and
performances.
F
F
And
now,
therefore,
I,
on
behalf
of
lynn,
robinson
mayor
of
the
city
of
bellevue
washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
city
council,
to
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
february
7th.
As
week
of
the
lunar
new
year
and
encourage
residents
to
join
our
neighbors
in
this
annual
celebration,
while
also
wishing
good
fortune
health
and
happiness
to
all
residents,
workers
and
visitors.
B
No
okay!
Now
we're
lucky
tonight
to
have
with
us
former
mayor
of
bellevue,
current
council,
king
county
council,
chair
claudia
balducci,
to
give
us
an
update
council
council,
chairman
balducci.
I
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
some
time
tonight.
I'd
like
to
come
at
least
once
a
year
and
report
out
on
what
we've
been
up
to
at
the
king
county
council
and
what's
coming
up
so
that
we
can
keep
you
informed
and
represent
you
well.
Thank
you
charmaine
for
sharing
the
the
powerpoint.
I
So
I
don't
know
if
you
recognize
this.
This
is
right
behind
city
hall,
this
picture
here
the
wind
was
blowing.
It
was
a
lovely
day
next
slide.
Please.
I
So
I'm
going
to
go
through
just
a
few
quick
slides
to
sort
of
summarize
some
of
the
high
points
and
then
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
from
members,
but
last
year,
as
in
the
previous
year,
our
focus
was
largely
on
responding
to
the
coped
pandemic
and
leaving
our
region
through
a
recovery
at
king
county.
I
Due
to
all
of
the
federal
funding
and
support
that
we
received,
we
passed
through
almost
800
million
dollars
in
covet
19
relief
and
recovery,
mostly
for
things
like
direct
response
to
the
pandemic
in
the
public
health
sphere,
vaccination
sites
for
people
who
needed
to
be
isolated
or
quarantined
testing
education
outreach,
but
we
also
were
able
to
put
funding
into
economic
recovery
in
the
areas
that
you
see
here.
On
the
slide,
I
will
say,
because
you
will
appreciate
this
council
members
in
the
last
two
years
we
passed
13
budgets.
I
I
think
the
city
manager
will
appreciate
that,
as
well
as
a
former
budget
guy
13
budgets
just
think
about
that.
For
a
second,
it
was
a.
It
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
just
to
get
the
money
out.
You
may
have
heard
about
some
challenges
at
king
county
originally
putting
out
some
of
the
rent
relief
funding
that
came
through.
I
We
have
caught
up
on
the
original
backlog
after
setting
up
an
entirely
new
computer
system
to
to
process
safely
and
fairly
this
money,
but
the
challenge
we're
gonna
face
now
is
that
we're
about
to
run
out
of
federal
funding,
so
I
think
together,
one
of
the
things
we
might
do
together
this
year
is
try
to
advocate
for
a
successor
to
some
of
that
relief
funding,
because
the
problem
really
hasn't
gone
away
in
terms
of
people
needing
rental
assistance.
I
Next
slide,
please
in
areas
that
I
know
the
the
city
council
has
been
tracking
closely.
We
had
a
number
of
efforts
to
address
our
housing
costs
regionally
and
homelessness.
I
don't
need
to
tell
you.
There
was
a
very
lovely
event.
You
see
a
picture
of
it
here
where
we
finally
got
to
break
ground
on
the
eastgate,
homeless,
shelter,
permanent
and
ultimately,
site
for
permanent,
supportive
housing
and
affordable
housing
as
well.
This
has
been
just
an
incredible
partnership.
I
Certainly,
the
city
has
worked
very
very
hard
to
make
this.
This
event
come
to
pass
and
I
was
just
really
excited
to
join
with
mayor,
robinson
and,
and
I
think
most
of
the
council
members,
almost
all
of
you-
were
there
that
day
to
celebrate
this
finally
starting
to
come
up
out
of
the
ground,
just
as
a
reminder
to
the
public.
I
When
this
shelter
opens,
we
will
finally
have
the
full
suite
of
emergency
shelters
that
we
have
planned
long
planned
for
east
king
county,
including
the
women
in
family,
shelter
in
kirkland,
the
youth
and
young
adult
shelter
in
redmond,
plus
this
one
and,
of
course
the
recent
opening
of
the
mary's
place,
shelter
in
bellevue,
which
is
a
wonderful
addition
to
help
out
people
in
need
beyond
emergency
shelter
in
2020.
We
also
began
to
make
progress
on
our
systemic
approach
to
reducing
homelessness.
I
The
king
county
regional
homeless
authority
has
been
stood
up
now,
as
our
executive
director
mark
doanes
likes
to
point
out
in
2020.
They
had
one
employee
this
year.
They
have,
I
want
to
say,
32
and
I
sit
on
the
board.
I
represent
the
king
county
council
on
that
boards,
along
with
members
of
the
sca
who
represent
suburban
cities.
I
They
are
now
managing
263
contracts
in
king
county,
starting
to
really
sort
of
be
the
main
service
provider
in
emergency
homelessness
response,
and
one
of
the
key
things
I
want
to
point
out
is
that
we
are
actually
now
working
on
reforming
how
we
count
the
numbers
of
people
living
in
homelessness
in
king
county.
I
It's
a
challenging
thing.
I
know
some
of
you
participated
in
the
one
night
count
that
was
done
annually
prior
to
last
year,
we've
known
for
a
long
time
that
that
was
an
undercount
but
as
we
start
to
use,
build
and
use
better
data
systems
and
then
cross
check
against
each
other.
We
find
that
the
problem
is
actually
far
bigger
than
has
been
talked
about
previously,
maybe
maybe
as
much
as
three
times
bigger.
I
And
finally,
as
I
think
you're
all
aware,
we
are
well
on
the
way
now
to
starting
to
create
sub-area
plans
for
homelessness,
including
for
east
king
county.
This
is
very
important.
It's
important
that
this
regional
authority
understand
how
this
problem
shows
up
in
the
different
parts
of
our
county
and
that
we
target
solutions
towards
the
problems
as
we
see
them.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all
on
that
as
it
goes
forward
next,
I
know
that
you
will
have
I'm
sorry,
not
next
slide.
I
Just
next
bullet
thanks
herman
health
through
housing,
I
know,
is
a
hot
topic.
This
is
the
county's
plan
to
bring
up
to
sixteen
hundred
people
experiencing
chronic
homelessness
off
the
streets
and
into
permanent
housing,
with
the
supports
they
need
to
stay
housed.
I
The
county
council
in
the
last
two
years
first
approved
the
funding
for
this
program
and
then
approved
the
implementation
plan
for
the
program
and
we're
now
in
implementation,
with
the
executive
branch
purchasing
properties
across
the
county.
They
have
purchased
eight
so
far,
they're
looking
to
purchase
between
two
and
three
additional
properties
and
to
start
operations
this
year.
I
I
know
that
you
will
have
been
hearing
about
the
discussions
around
the
former
la
quinta
inn
at
south
kirkland
just
across
the
border
from
bellevue
west
northwest
bellevue
there,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
aware,
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
communications
about
this.
But
I
don't
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
clarity.
I
The
king
county
department
of
community
and
human
services
is
the
lead
on
identifying
locations
and
negotiating
purchase
and
sale
agreements.
They
are
in
discussions
with
the
lakinta
owners.
Those
are
advanced
discussions,
but
they
are
still
doing
due
diligence
on
key
aspects
of
the
sale
and
they're
not
prepared
to
make
an
announcement
yet
as
to
whether
they
will
close
the
sale.
But
I
hope
to
hear
us,
I
hope,
to
hear
a
final
decision
within
a
week
or
so
maybe
a
little
bit
longer.
I
So
we
should
know
very
very
soon
whether
that
is
the
next
location,
and
then
I
just
want
to
that.
You
all
will
have
heard
this
before.
That
is
just
the
beginning
of
a
process.
I
The
county
will
need
to
select
an
operator
we'll
need
to
work
with
that
operator
and
the
community
to
establish
things
like
rules
of
operation
agreements
with
the
neighborhood
as
to
how
they're
going
to
be
a
good
neighbor
setting
up
community
lines
of
communication,
which
I
will
expect,
will
include
some
kind
of
a
good
neighbor
committee,
similar
to
what
this
council
directed
to
be
set
up
around
the
congregations
for
the
homeless,
shelter.
That's
coming
in
eastgate,
so
a
lot
more
to
go
a
lot
of
work
with
the
community
to
go.
I
We'll
keep
you
informed,
as
as
I
learn,
I
will
keep
you
all
informed.
The
city
of
kirkland
is
very
engaged.
This
is,
of
course,
in
their
city,
and
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
whatever
questions,
but
that's
really
the
state
of
play
at
this
point.
I
Finally,
just
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing,
I
continue
to
chair
the
the
regional,
affordable
housing
committee,
which
sits
under
the
growth
management
planning
council.
I
want
to
thank
mayor
robinson
for
her
continued
service
on
the
committee.
She
brings
not
only
bellevue's
perspective,
but
I
believe
she
may
be
the
sca
caucus
chair
this
year,
which
means
that
she
helps
to
organize
the
the
county's
city's
work
there.
I
I
You
will
probably
have
heard
about
house
bill
1220,
which
was
adopted
in
2021
in
addition
to
that,
directing
that
cities
and
jurisdictions
like
counties
plan
for
what
they
call
in
the
bill
special
needs
housing
which
includes
things
like
homelessness
housing.
It
also
requires
that
the
department
of
commerce
give
to
counties
a
measure
of
county-wide
need
for
affordable
housing
in
bands,
probably
from
zero
percent
of
area
median
income
to
120
percent
of
area
median
income.
So
all
the
way
from
housing
to
bring
people
out
of
homelessness
to
what
we
would
call,
maybe
workforce
housing.
I
When
we
get
that
number
one
of
the
things
our
committee
is
going
to
be
working
on
this
year
is
figuring
out.
How
do
we
distribute
that
number
out
throughout
the
county
so
that,
when
we
all
get
around
to
updating
our
comprehensive
plans,
we
plan
for
enough
activities
in
order
to
meet
the
total
need?
Never
done
it
before
it's
the
right
direction.
I
I
want
to
say
just
speaking
in
my
opinion,
because
we
currently
plan
for
a
number
of
jobs
and
a
number
of
housing
units
in
our
comprehensive
plans
without
regard
to
how
much
the
jobs
pay
or
how
much
the
houses
cost,
and
you
end
up
with
a
mismatch.
So
that's
going
to
be
a
really
big
job.
We've
never
done
this
before,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
through
it
with
you
all
next
slide.
Now,
that's
the
longest
one
I'll
share
with
you.
I
The
rest
of
them
go
faster
in
public
safety
in
this
year,
we'll
be
working
with
our
executive
community
stakeholders
and
various
partners,
including
contract
cities,
who
work
with
who
contract
with
the
sheriff
for
police
services,
to
appoint
a
new
sheriff
and
to
think
about
ways.
We
might
evolve
how
we
provide
public
safety
in
king
county
so
that
it
is
effective
and
responsive
to
the
community
and
provides
equity
and
addresses
many
of
the
the
issues
that
have
been
raised
during
the
racial
justice
reckoning
that
we've
had
over
the
last
two
years.
I
This
is
all
in
response
to
a
charter
amendment
voted
by
the
voters
in
2020.
We
already
have
an
interim
sheriff.
Her
name
is
patti
cole,
tindall
she's
been
the
undersheriff
for
a
while
and
now
she'll
be
acting
until
we
hire
a
new
sheriff
next
slide.
Please
regional
planning
is
there's
a
lot
of
regional
planning
going
on
this
year.
Long
range
planning
and
some
of
the
big
things
happening.
We
will
be
adopting
the
first
ever
regional
housing
strategy
at
the
puget,
sound
regional
council.
I
This
is
meant
to
be
a
helpful
guide
and
some
ideas
and
suggestions
for
how
cities
and
other
jurisdictions
like
counties
might
go
about.
Pursuing
housing
policy
meant
to
be
there
for
assistance
and
guidance
during
the
comprehensive
planning
process,
we're
very
close
to
a
final
version.
We
should
vote
on
it
later
this
month
and
we'll
be
also,
as
you
probably
are
keenly
aware,
updating
the
regional
transportation
plan.
I
I
call
out
climate
and
safety
because
this
has
been
in
in
the
process
for
a
while.
I
want
to
call
out
again
mayor
robinson,
who
serves
on
the
executive
board
for
bellevue
at
puget,
sound
regional
council
and
mayor
mayor,
sorry,
councilmember
robertson,
who
serves
on
the
transportation
policy
board.
We've
been,
I
think,
well
aligned
on
these
issues,
making
sure
that
our
regional
plan,
when
it's
adopted,
meets
our
climate
goals.
I
We
all
know
that
transportation
is
the
largest
contributor
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
the
northwest,
and
our
our
regional
planning
has
to
sort
of
catch
up
to
that,
and
also
with
safety.
Just
acknowledging
that
cities,
like
bellevue,
have
been
very
aggressive
and
working
on
planning
to
make
our
streets
safer
nationally
and
in
the
state.
The
numbers
are
going
in
the
wrong
direction.
We
have
seen
more
an
increasing
level
of
serious
injuries
and
deaths
on
our
roads.
I
So
the
idea
that
our
regional
plan
should
drive
more
planning
for
safety
is,
I
think,
very
important
to
me.
The
city's
been
very
supportive
of
this
idea
because,
of
course,
you've
made
it
a
priority
as
well.
So
I
look
forward
to
working
on
those
next
slide.
Please
lots
to
talk
about
on
mobility
and
transportation,
but
I
will
share
the
top
line.
Last
year
we
updated
metro's
service
guidelines,
strategic
plan
and
long-range
plan.
It
was
a
massive
policy
and
planning
lift.
I
I
really-
I
know
we've
done
this
before,
but
I
really
can't
say
enough
about
how
council
member
robertson
led
the
sca
caucus
of
the
regional
transit
committee
through
that
process.
It
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
work.
Very
interactive
really
met
with
all
the
stakeholders
and
I
don't
know
how
we
would
have
gotten
through
all
the
difficult
issues
without
that
effort.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
just
strong
and
very
good
leadership
on
that.
We
we
came
to
a
good
place.
I
think
in
the
end
meeting
upstairs
is
breaking
up.
I
In
any
event,
we
will
be
also
going
through
a
future
planning
in
our
budget.
This
year
I've
been
working
to
try
to
keep
the
rapid
ride
k
on
track.
That
is
the
line
on
this
map
here
that
goes
from
bellevue
north
into
kirkland.
I
Hopefully
we
get
that
funded
and
get
the
next
steps
to
get
the
capital
investments
done,
so
it
stays
on
track
for
some
time
later.
This
decade,
instead
of
slipping
into
the
following
decade,
we've
updated
youth,
orca
cards.
This
is
just
a
little
thing,
but
I
have
to
say
I'm
awfully
proud
of
it.
I
was
able
to
get
funding
to
provide
free
cards,
not
the
service
on
the
cards,
but
the
cards
themselves
to
youth
who
are
getting
their
first
order
card.
They
don't
have
to
pay
the
five
dollar
fee.
I
The
idea
is
to
get
those
cards
into
the
hands
of
young
people,
so
they
can
learn
to
ride
and
become
lifelong
rioters,
we're
currently
working
on
the
between
king
county
and
sound
transit-
it's
not
written
here,
but
I
want
to
point
out
on
the
bus
restructure
plan
so
that,
when
light
rail
opens
in
just
about
a
year
sometime
sometime
next
20
23,
maybe
18
months,
the
bus
system
will
then
wrap
around
it
and
the
service
will
change
so
that
it
feeds
into
the
light
rail
system.
I
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
we're
in
the
public
comment
period
currently
for
metro's
plans
there,
and
they
will.
They
will
close
that
and
then
make
it.
It'll
come
to
the
county
council
for
a
final
decision
on
that
restructure.
I
Finally,
just
super
excited
with
all
the
work
on
trails
going
on.
I
saw
several
of
you
at
the
opening
of
the
south
bellevue
segment
of
email
of
east
trail
that
opened
that
beautiful
wide
paved
trail
from
the
factoria
area
down
south
to
almost
a
vmac.
I
wanted
to
congratulate
you
all
on
the
opening
of
the
the
I-90
mountains,
the
sound
greenway
trail.
It
hooks
right
up
with
it
and
we
do
now
have
funding
for
the
wilberton
trestle
and
the
520
trail
corridor
connector,
so
lots
and
lots
of
trail
openings
next
slide.
Please.
I
Last
year
we
updated
our
strategic
climate
action
plan
at
king
county.
That
was
a
big
lift.
I
commend
it
to
you.
We
also
finally
passed
the
climate
action
toolkit
which
is
available
for
jurisdictions
to
make
use
of
there's
a
lot
here,
but
I'm
just
going
to
leave
it
there
and
we'll
answer
any
questions
and
then
finally,
one
of
the
next
slide,
please
one
of
the
best
things
that
I
get
to
do
as
a
districted
council.
I
Member
for
this
part
of
king
county
is
that
I
have
access
to
county
funds
and
sometimes
district
funds
to
support
really
really
great
projects
and
agencies.
In
my
district
last
year,
just
a
few
of
them,
we
were
able
to
use
some
money
from
the
vet,
seniors
and
human
services
levy
to
support
a
group
called
for
tomorrow
serving
the
latino
community
on
the
east
side
and
hopelink
with
rental
assistance,
we
were
able
to
make
a
grant
to
the
bellevue
college
veterans
resource
center.
I
Is
this
I'd
like
to
remind
you
and
everyone
who's
listening
that
we
have
a
really
cool
van
donation
program,
king
county
and
actually
well
not
watching?
King
county
runs
the
largest
vanpool
program
in
the
world.
It's
nobody
can
prove
it's
not
true,
so
I
keep
saying
it
until
somebody
does,
but
there's
not
one
that
we
can
find
that's
bigger.
So
we
have
an
awful
lot
of
vans
and
the
federal
regulations
say
they
have
to
be
retired
when
they
reach
70
000
miles
and
they
still
have
a
lot
of
life
in
them.
I
So
we
give
away
a
few
vans.
Every
year
in
every
district.
In
the
last
year,
we
were
able
to
give
some
to
community
homes,
global
social
business
partners,
which
is
a
partner
with
the
city
in
the
bellevue
urban
garden,
to
life
wire
and
to
tent
city
four.
I
just
like
to
put
it
out
there,
because
this
comes
up
every
single
year.
So
if
you
know
an
organization
that
could
benefit
from
a
van
for
the
purpose
of
transporting
people,
that's
really
the
only
requirement.
I
B
Oh
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
excellent
representation
that
you
do
of
our
city
really
appreciate
the
good
work
going
on
from
the
county.
Does
anybody
have
any
comments
or
questions
of
council
chair
valdez?
B
I'm
not
seeing
any
so
we
will
give
you
a
great
night.
Oh
deputy
mayor,
I
see
your
hand
up,
go
ahead.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah,
one
one
question
and
again
chair
bill
duchy,
thanks
for
being
here
tonight
a
lot
of
great
information,
a
lot
of
things
happening,
as
you
mentioned.
E
I
just
want
to
touch
briefly
just
get
your
your
thoughts
on
the,
as
you
rightly
mentioned,
the
hot
topic
of
the
la
canta
in
acquisition
and
been
hearing
a
lot
from
our
constituents
as
well
as
kirkland
residents,
and-
and
I
appreciate
some
of
the
the
details
that
you
offered
there.
But
what
we're
well
at
least,
what
I'm
hearing
is
they
don't?
Maybe
you
could
touch
a
little
bit
on
the
criteria
for
why
the
laquinta
inn
was
selected
other
than.
E
Seller,
obviously,
but
just
curious
the
process
that
king
county
approaches
looking
for
our
property,
because
I've
gotten
that
question
quite
a
bit
and
then
also-
and
you
touched
on
a
little
bit-
you
just
mentioned
a
little
bit
about
what
the
outreach
would
look
like
going
forward
after
the
acquisition
for
both
residents
and
there's
quite
a
few
businesses,
schools
etc
around
there.
So
could
you
just
touch
on
that
a
little
bit?
What
that
might
look
like
and
you're
absolutely
right?
E
This
is
you
know
at
the
very
beginning
here
just
starting,
but
I
think
that
would
really
inform
a
lot
of
people
that
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
this
and
are
only
hearing
bits
and
pieces
and
and,
like
you
said
not
all
of
it's
accurate.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
deputy
miles
happy
to
share
a
few
words.
I
The
the
main
criteria
for
the
locations
that
the
executive
has
been
considering
and
then
purchasing
are
that
it
have
the
right
kind
of
rooms,
individualized
rooms,
with
doors
that
have
the
right
kind
of
internal
systems
like
air
flow,
because
we
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
coveted,
safe
things
like
that,
like
that
it
works
for
the
program
they're
looking
for
buildings
of
a
certain
size,
because
we
have
this
funding
for
a
goal
of
sixteen
hundred
people
coming
off
the
streets
we
didn't
want
to
buy.
I
You
know
a
hundred
buildings
of
16
units
each
so
they
had
to
be
of
a
certain
size
and
of
course
they
we.
We
did
look
for
willing
sellers
we're,
not
condemning
properties
for
this
purpose.
So
I
mean
I
can
send
you
what
they've
put
out
there's
not
a
lot
more
than
that,
it's
pretty
much
the!
What
we're!
I
Looking
for
the
question
about
public
outreach,
I
understand
that
the
executive's
office
is
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
the
nearby
neighbors
and
the
nearby
business
owners
prior
to
making
an
announcement
so
that
they
are
not
surprised
by
the
decision,
whether
to
buy
or
not,
to
buy
and
then
once.
I
If
there
is
a
decision
to
buy,
then
there
will
have
to
be
more
public
engagement
and
outreach,
and
that
has
not
been
planned
yet,
but
we
will
have
to
plan
it
with
the
city
of
kirkland
and
with
the
the
executive
together,
as
you
may
recall,
with
the
silver
cloud,
and
there
was
a
similar
process
in
that
redmond
area.
That
was
right
next
to
a
different
part
of
bellevue
and
there
the
executive
branch
did
what
they
do.
I
They
negotiated
a
deal,
they
entered
into
a
purchase
and
sale
agreement,
and
then
we
went
out
and
had
public
engagement
and
as
the
representative
for
that
area,
I
I
hosted
a
town
hall.
We
had
a
large
turnout,
went
for
hours
and
hours,
but
I'm
going
to
participate.
B
Any
other
comments
or
questions
I
I
have
one
actually
council
chair,
it
seems
like
one
of
the
missing
pieces
of
affordable
housing
is
the
voucher
program
and
knowing
that
we
don't
have
tons
of
room
to
build
more
single
family
homes,
it
seems
that
using
vouchers
for
rentals
is
a
really
good
fit
for
bellevue.
And
yet
it
seems
like
it's
hard
to
get
those
out
for
the
county
to
get
those
out
and
distributed
to
the
agencies
that
provide
vouchers
to
their
to
their
the
people
them.
B
I
I
Eight
is
itself
a
kind
of
a
voucher
program
where
you
have
those
long
waiting
lists,
and
so
let
me
let
me
connect
with
you
after
this
and
make
sure
I
understand
exactly
what
you're
looking
for
and
we'll
see
what
we
can
do,
because
anything
we
can
do
to
expedite
funding
for
people
to
get
roofs
over
their
heads
is,
of
course
something
we
ought
to
be
looking
into.
I.
B
D
Yeah,
I
appreciate
the
the
comments
made
about
the
proposed
shelter
or
permanent
housing
and
and
and
the
questions
asked
by
the
deputy
mayor,
and
it
was
a
good
answers
and
out
there
and
process,
but
looking
back
on
both
of
those,
it
seems
that
it
would
help
a
lot
if
we
could
have
a
better
get
a
better
understanding
from
the
very
start
with
with
people
in
the
neighborhood
as
to
what
this
is
going
to
be,
how
it's
going
to
be
run.
We
know
all
of
that.
It's
not
something.
D
That's
that
is
depends
on
whoever
we
get
and
where
it
is,
and
everything
else.
So
what
happens
is
we're
we're
months
behind
on
a
small
group
but
very
vocal
and
very
you
know,
pressing
forward
on.
You
can't
have
this
here.
You
can't
have
us
here
for
this
reason,
because
it's
going
to
be
x,
y
z
and
everything
it's
going
to
be
awful
and
horrible,
and
they
have
no
idea
what
this
is
and
I
I
feel
for
for
them
in
a
sense
that
they're
being
led
into
or
thinking
that
something's
going
to
happen.
D
Also
because
again,
we
have
to
work
with
all
these
people
who
are
concerned
about
it
and
it's
it's
very
organized,
and
you
also,
I
don't
know
if
you've
seen
it
yet,
but
there
is
a
long
letter
from
an
attorney
who's
raising
issues
about
this.
So
I
think
we're
we're
just
someone
sometimes
kind
of
behind
the
the
information
and
outreach
effort,
and
I
don't
think
we
can
wait
till
we
get
a
contract
to
actually
tell
people
about.
I
Yeah,
I
I
hear
you,
council,
member
and
and
there's
definitely
some
things
that
we
can
do
now.
Right,
can't
turn
back
the
clock,
but
there's
definitely
some
things.
We
can
do
now
to
make
sure
that
we're
putting
out
good
information
about
what
health
through
housing
is
and
what
it
is,
and
I
mean
I
see
some
of
those
same
concerns
there
seems
to
be
confusion
about
whose
project
this
is,
and
understandably,
we've
got
the
new
king
county,
regional
homelessness
authority.
This
is
not
their
project.
This
is
king
county's
project,
and
why
is
that?
I
So
I
don't
I
I.
I
definitely
hear
that
we
could
do
better
at
the
coordination,
the
one
chicken
and
egg
issue
that,
in
my
view,
is
always
going
to
exist
whenever
we
do
any
kind
of
challenging,
citing
decisions
around
homelessness
or
anything
else
that
people
really
don't
want
to
see
is:
do
we
notify
the
entire
county?
You
might
have
one
of
these
in
your
backyard
and
have
like
this
whole
narrowing
process
from.
I
So
we'll
take
you
up
on
that
as
a
challenge
to
provide
good
information
to
you
all
and
to
the
residents
so
that
they
know
what's
coming
and
we
can
engage
better.
I
also
agree
that
it's
a
little
challenging
to
tell
people
when
we
have
an
operator,
then
we'll
work
with
you,
but
until
we
have
an
operator
there's
not
somebody
there
like
there's
nobody
there
to
say
we're
the
people.
Who
will
be
your
neighbors
and
here's
how
we
want
to
work
with
you.
What
do
you
think
like
there?
I
You
can
set
up
rules,
city
of
redmond,
just
voted
in
a
new
land
use
code.
That
includes
quite
a
few
rules
around
how
things
like
this
have
to
happen.
I
know
bellevue
did
that
as
well
prior
to
the
congregations
for
the
homeless
project
being
permitted,
and
so
but
dchs
has
got
people
sitting
in
an
office
who
do
contracts
right.
They
don't
run
homelessness
housing,
so
we're
kind
of
stuck
in
this
got
to
do
it.
Don't
have
the
people
in
place
yet
who
are
the
ones
to
do
it?
D
Well,
I
think
that
would
help
it's.
I
mean
I
feel
sorry
for
the
the
impressions
that
that
people
get
and
also
it
just
seems
that
we
know
enough
about
this,
and
it's
not
that
different
from
place
to
place.
Frankly
in
terms
of
the
overall
concepts
and
what
we
do
that
we
could
get
further
ahead,
we
spend
so
much
time
having
to
deal
with
people
who
are
really
upset
a
lot
of
them.
They
don't
want
it
anywhere,
it's
pretty
clear,
but
you
know
when
they
say.
Yes,
we
want
to
help
with
the
homeless.
D
We
want
to
do
this
or
that,
but
we
don't
want
people
who
are
just
you
know
going
to
be.
You
know,
criminals
all
over
our
area,
there's
a
reality
betw.
You
know
that's
out
there
that
they're
not
hearing-
and
I
know
some
people
are
not
going
to
accept
it,
but
most
of
the
population
looks
at
it
and
wonders
about
it.
I
mean
we,
I
think,
we're
getting
some
people
who
would
be
positive
on
this
kind
of
having
questions
about
it,
because
all
they
hear
is
the
awful
things
that
people
are
talking
about.
D
So
I
just,
I
think
we
could
do
a
better
job
in
overall
telling
people
what
our
our
plans
are
for
this
whole
effort.
How
are
we
going
to
house
and
work
with
all
these
homeless
people
and
get
them
off
the
streets
and
get
them
better?
We
we're
not
telling
a
good
story
on
that
to
everybody,
we're
so
focused
on
the
process
or
when
we're
going
to
do
this
or
that,
so
I
think
we
have
the
capability
to
do
it,
but
we
need
to
do
it.
I
There's
a
tremendous
amount
of
information
available
at
the
king
county
health
through
housing
website,
and
I
will-
and
so
you
should
definitely
make
use
of
that.
We
put
together
massive
faqs
the
last
time
we
went
through
this,
and
but
I
will
take
your
concerns
and
suggestions
back
to
the
folks
who
are
implementing
this
and
will
definitely
continue
to
work
with
the
city
on
getting
information
out.
Yeah.
B
F
Councilmember,
yes,
thank
you,
chair
baduchi.
There
are
lots
of
information
in
that
side
deck
that
you
presented.
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
your
questions
so
far.
I
have
a
couple
things
I
want
to
add,
and
that
is
that
with
the
climate
action
and
the
safety
piece.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
would
say
that.
F
Certainly,
we've
been
we're
actually
getting
a
presentation
tonight
about
our
own
environmental
stewardship
plan
and
just
how
we
get
to
50
greenhouse
gas
reductions
by
2030
when
it's
already
2022,
so
to
the
degree
that
more
partnership
or
resources
can
be
provided.
We
certainly
are
very
lean
and
mean
in
terms
of
getting
things
done
in
terms
of
not
a
lot
of
of
staff,
but
a
lot
to
do
and
the
same,
I
think,
with
safety.
F
You
know
our
vision,
zero
and
our
safe,
safe
system
approach,
so
we're
hoping
that
that
will
align
us
well
for
federal
funding,
but
to
the
degree
that
the
county
can
join
us
in
getting
more
resources
into
that
effort.
You
know
we
are
all
in
this
together
and
I
would
say
the
same
on
the
economic
recovery.
F
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
funding
for
the
resources
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is,
I
think,
what
we're
seeing
in
a
lot
of
the
the
very
people
that
we
are
hiring
to
provide
those
services
that
we
don't
pay
enough
to
retain
over
the
long
term.
So
what
can
we
do
to
really
look
at
being
able
to
pay
in
a
way
that
retains
the
very
people
that
are
helping
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community?
F
Can
we
look
at
how
our
grants
are
structured
so
that
we
can?
We
can
pay
living
wages
for
those
jobs?
And
then,
lastly,
you
know
we
are.
I
believe
going
to
be
embarking
on
looking
at
safe
parking
programs
in
bellevue
and
what
might
be
possible
so
to
the
degree
that
the
county
or
ceo
or
ed
doanes
is
also
looking
at
that
as
part
of
the
regional
housing
homelessness
authority.
I
think
that's
another
space
where
there
can
be
partnership
in
that
as
well.
I
Thank
you,
councilmember,
I'm
gonna,
try
to
say
just
a
few
things
about
each
of
those,
but
that's
that's.
These
are
big
picture
issues
and
a
lot
going
on
and
a
lot
that
needs
to
happen
on
climate
and
safety.
Part
of
the
reason
why
I
am
so
insistent
on
the
regional
plan,
including
really
strong
policy
language
around
these
things
is
over
time
that
policy
language
becomes
funding
priority
plans
and
numbers
that
that
we
use
to
sift
through
all
the
hundreds
of
millions
of
federal
funding
we
get
each
year
in
this
region.
I
So
the
idea
is:
if
we
set
these
as
really
high
priorities,
money
will
follow.
It
takes
some
time.
One
of
the
other
things
I'm
trying
to
do
is
get
us
to
speed
it
up
and
do
things
in
a
better
order.
But
so
that
is
that's
all
it's
all
about
putting
your
money
where
your
mouth
is.
So
I
hope
that
that
is
one
way
and
then
I
hope
that
there
will
be
other
ways,
but
that
is
one
way
in
which
we
can
drive
towards
better
funding
for
those
programs.
I
I
The
best
options
we
have
right
now
are
funding
that
either
didn't
get
used
from
prior
appropriations
of
covid
relief
from
the
feds
or
that,
for
whatever
reason
comes
back,
there
will
be
a
chunk
of
that
we'll
be
seeing
that
in
the
first
quarter
or
so
at
king
county.
I
think
you
all
may
see
some
as
well,
but
when
that
money
is
gone
I
mean
I
you
probably
don't
need
me
to
tell
you
it's
not
like
as
big
as
our
budgets
can
look.
I
When
you
just
look
at
the
bottom
line,
there's
not
stacks
of
money
in
the
corner,
going
unspent,
it's
all
sort
of
dedicated
to
something.
So
we
will
need
to
look
for
new
funding
sources
if
we
want
to
continue
those
programs
and
the
amount
that
a
bellevue
or
even
a
king
county
could
raise,
is
going
to
look
very
small
compared
to
what
the
feds
have
done
in
the
last
few
years.
So
I'm
not
optimistic.
I
There
will
be
a
lot
more
relief
to
come,
but
I
am
committed
to
try,
then,
with
regard
to
resources
and
pay
for
people
who
are
providing
human
services
in
general.
This
is
a
known
challenge,
one
of
the
reasons
that
the
health
through
housing
sites
aren't
open.
Yet
is
because
we
haven't
been
able
to
secure
operators
that
we
want
the
kind
of
operators
we
want
for
some
of
the
locations
and
that's
because
they're
stretched
so
thin
with
their
staffing.
I
Just
to
give
you
one
example
of
something
that
king
county
is
trying
to
do
in
this
space,
the
voters
approved
the
best
starts
for
kids
levy
reauthorization
last
fall.
It
includes
a
program,
a
pilot
program,
to
prop
up
wages
in
the
not-for-profit
child
care
sector,
with
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
can
government
help
to
improve
the
wages
of
the
people
who
work
in
these
areas,
or
else
we're
not
going
to
have
people
to
do
these
really
important
jobs
that
we
want
and
then.
I
Finally,
I
am
not
aware
of
any
safe
parking
programs
that
we're
working
on.
That
would
be
a
new
one
on
me,
but
I
will
definitely
keep
my
eye
out
and
make
sure
to
talk
to
ceo
doanes
of
the
king
county
housing
authority
and
if,
if
you
all
come
up
with
some
good
programmatic
ideas,
let's
make
sure
that
we
share
them
so
just
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
on
each
of
four
very,
very
large
issues.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
coming
tonight.
I
really
appreciate
the
update
and
having
the
chance
to
interact
with
you
so
have
a
good
evening,
and
we
will
continue
on
with
our
meeting
here.
Thank
you.
So
much
next
up
is
the
agenda.
We
need
to
amend
the
agenda
to
remove
item
ae
from
the
consent
calendar.
This
is
an
item.
That's
going
to
be
brought
back
in
the
future
for
consideration
at
another
meeting.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
amended
agenda.
B
A
K
E
A
Okay,
miss
phomonico.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you.
Your
time
begins
now
all
right.
L
L
L
Unfortunately,
there
are
some
people
in
this
world
myself
included
that
are
sensitive
to
emf.
Frequencies.
A
lot
of
people
don't
recognize
that
as
being
a
a
real
problem,
but
that's
because
they
don't
experience
it.
I
only
found
out
how
badly
I
was
affected
by
it
when
the
cell
tower
went
in
and
not
when
it
just
went
in,
but
when
it
got
turned
on
before
it
got
turned
on.
I
was
fine
after
it
got
turned
on.
L
I
didn't
sleep
for
about
a
month
and
then
couldn't
figure
out
what
was
wrong
with
me
and
was
told
by
someone
else
that
it
had
to
be
the
cell
tower.
So
I
got
some
protective
information
and
some
items
that
help
me
sleep
and
honestly,
if
it
hadn't
been
for
that
and
the
information
I
was
given
by
friends,
I
wouldn't
have
known
so
I'm
extremely
disappointed
that
all
my
emails,
including
from
my
lawyer,
are
being
ignored
and
that
I
will
be
given
an
ami
meter
without
a
transmitter.
It's
not
the
transmitter,
that's
the
big
problem.
L
L
Warning
to
the
city
of
bellevue
and
also
the
bellevue
utilities,
because
I
don't
know
how
this
is
going
to
affect
my
plumbing
the
three
different
types
of
plumbing
that
I've
got,
and
I
don't
know
how
it's
going
to
affect
my
health,
but
I'm
not
real
happy
about
this
at
all,
and
I
did
warn
that
this
is
what
I
would
do
if
it
was
forced
upon
me
which
it
is
being
forced
upon
me.
So
if
there's
any
way
for
me
to
back
out
of
this,
I
am
all
ears.
L
A
A
N
Because
of
this
partnership
and
our
aligned
work.
Many
east
side
pathways
partners
have
said
their
individual
work
to
support.
Children,
youth
and
young
adults
is
better
more
important,
collectively
we're
breaking
down
this
systemic
barriers
that
we
often
as
the
adults
in
the
community
create
for
children,
youth
and
young
adults.
N
A
few
highlights
of
the
important
collective
work
currently
happening:
we're
improving
systems
for
early
learning,
specifically
for
the
latino
hispanic
community,
through
the
work
with
niso
programs
and
several
dozen
early
learning
providers.
The
latinx
community
is
working
with
these
early
learning
providers
to
improve
their
practices,
to
reduce
stress
on
parents
and
increase
access
to
critical
supports
and
services
in
the
mindsets,
essential
skills
and
habits
work.
N
We
call
that
mesh
organizations
are
improving
their
own
practices
to
support
high
school
students,
mental
health
and
social,
emotional
well-being
and
then
working
with
the
community
partners
and
organizational
partners
to
examine
and
modify
their
own
internal
practices
or
policies
to
increase
racial
equity
and
reduce
harm
for
employees
and
communities
of
color
that
they
serve.
This
is
critical
so
that
we
can
ultimately
get
to
a
racially
equitable
community
system.
N
Thank
you
for
your
continued
support
of
the
eastside
pathways
backbone
so
that
we
can
continue
to
support
the
dozens
and
dozens
of
partners
and
I'd
like
to
just
mention
next,
my
colleague
and
eastside
pathways
data
officer,
peyton
richardson,
will
be
sharing
a
bit
about
the
eastside
pathways
community
report.
Thank
you
so
so
much
for
your
support.
A
J
Perfect,
thank
you
very
much
to
the
council
to
the
city
and
elswell
to
stephanie.
My
name
is
peyton
richardson,
the
data
officer
for
east
side
pathways.
Just
again,
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
the
investment
into
the
collective
work
that
the
eastside
pathways
partnership
is
doing.
I
wanted
to
highlight
a
little
bit
about
our
2021
community
report,
which
illustrates
the
work
of
the
past
22
months
in
east
king
county,
especially
the
collaborative
work
of
our
partners,
which
make
up
the
partnership.
J
The
community
report
supported
by
quantitative
and
qualitative
data
on
the
work
of
the
community
toward
better
outcomes
for
student,
youth
and
families
in
the
cradle
to
pathway,
as
well
as
collective
efforts
to
address
challenges
that
are
raised
that
have
been
raised
by
code
pandemic
and
the
call
for
racial
justice
and
overall
systems
change.
Just
gonna
highlight
a
few
things
that
were
a
part
of
that
report.
J
At
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
the
east
side
pathways
partnership,
convened
stakeholders
from
around
king
county
to
do
a
needs
assessment
to
pool
their
necessary
resources,
and
you
know,
since
march
of
2020,
there
have
been
over
45
meetings
convening
about
76
organizations
across
sectors
from
education
to
government
and
community-based
organizations,
and
things
have
allowed
organizations
such
as
nourishing
networks
to
work
with
the
city
of
bellevue,
addressing
food
insecurity
system
escolar,
which
is
a
parent
organization.
J
And
these
are
just
some
of
the
many
highlights
that
illustrate
the
collaborative
work
moving
beyond
just
programmatic
change,
eventually
toward
the
systemic
change
that
eastside
pathways
is
seeking
to
support.
The
community
report
also
describes
the
work
in
the
area
of
early
learning,
specifically
for
hispanic
and
latinx
students
in
east
king
county.
J
Another
another
partner
of
ours
and
eso
programs
collects
data
from
families
to
help
early
child
service
providers,
adjust
their
policies
toward
equity,
such
as
when
another
partner,
eastside
baby
corner
amended
their
internal
policy
to
allow
families
to
directly
access
critical
services
without
a
third
party
reference
or
enrollment
in
the
school
system.
The
last
thing
I'll
highlight
is
the
community
reports
really
uplift
of
the
importance
of
racial
equity
in
east
side
pathways.
J
Partnerships
work
through
tools
such
as
the
eastside
pathways
equity,
pledge
ensuring
that
the
partner
organizations
understand
and
have
a
path
towards
equity
that
they
can
be
guided
on,
as
well
as
affinity
spaces,
providing
dialogue
and
the
exploration
of
equity
through
multiple
lenses
and
woven
throughout
this
report.
You
know
racial
equity
is
not
just
a
spoken
value,
but
also
a
tangible
goal
with
the
strategic
pathway.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
support.
A
B
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Next,
we
have
the
consent
calendar.
Do
you
have
a
motion
to
approve
our
consent
calendar?
I.
B
G
Yes,
mayor,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
The
first
topic
on
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening
is
an
update
on
our
utilities.
Department's
advanced
meter
infrastructure
project,
also
known
as
ami
as
well
as
council
direction
on
a
potential
non-communicating
water
meter
service
program
also
referred
to
as
our
opt
out
option
joining
us
this
evening
are
nob
otto.
G
The
director,
chad,
beck
smart
utility
program
manager
and
todd
dahlberg
business
service
manager,
all
from
the
utilities
department
also
joining
us
this
evening
is
vanya
news,
5
news
of
anxiety,
who
is
the
chair
of
the
environmental
services
commission
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
nog
to
begin
presentation.
K
First
of
all,
unfortunately,
chair
connectivity
has
to
leave
or
mania.
Are
you
still
here.
K
I
was
going
to
go
out
of
order
and
have
you
give
your
recommendation
even
before
I
start
my
presentation?
Are
you
able
to
stay
for
long
enough?
Sure?
Oh
perfect!
Okay!
Thank
you!
So,
as
mr
miyaki
mentioned,
this
is
the
chair
of
the
environmental
services
commission,
vania
konecovic,
and
she
would
like
to
present
the
commission's
recommendation
on
a
opt-out
program
and
so
we're
going
to
do
things
a
little
bit
backwards,
but
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
manage
that.
B
Mitch,
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight,
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
for
the
introduction
knob.
So
do
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
start
sharing.
O
We
trust
in
scientific
research
around
ami
and
we
find
it
very
difficult
to
consider
voting
for
the
opt-out
presented
to
the
city
by
the
utility
staff,
not
because
we
don't
think
that
the
work
that
the
utility
staff
has
not
done
adequately,
but
it
is
our
concern
that
the
cost
will
land
on
the
majority
of
the
residents.
At
some
point,
we
think
the
staff
have
done
a
great
job
in
trying
to
capture
all
the
costs
and
have
implemented
or
would
like
to
implement
certain
fees.
O
B
Thank
you
now
are
you?
Do
you
have
a
limited
time
here?
Can
you
stay
through
the
presentation
and
answer
questions
or
should
we
answer?
Ask
you
questions
right
now.
B
K
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
chair
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
new
house
and
council
members.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
brief
you
on
the
utilities,
smart
metering
project,
also
known
as
ami.
First
of
all,
can
you
see
my
slide?
Yes,
oh
good.
Okay.
K
So
tonight
we're
going
to
provide
an
update
on
the
ami
project
as
well
as
the
proposed
non-communicating
water
meter
service
program,
also
known
as
the
opt-out
option.
Utilities
is
able
to
offer
the
opt-out
program,
but
council
approval
is
needed
to
implement,
implement,
oops
sorry
and
implement
the
that
fees
associated
with
the
opt-out
program.
K
K
So
the
new
ami
system
will
include
a
new
digital
meter
and
an
attached
cellular
transmitter,
that's
capable
of
passing
along
water
consumption
data
to
the
utility,
unlike
gas
and
electric
meters,
which
are
typically
installed
on
the
side
of
the
house.
A
water
meter
is
installed
in
a
meter
box
in
the
ground,
at
the
edge
of
the
property
line.
Next
to
the
road
ami
system
will
leverage
the
existing
cellular
infrastructure,
so
water
consumption
data
will
be
transmitted
three
times
per
day
for
four
to
six
seconds,
not
not
24
continuously,
every
four
to
six
seconds.
K
The
data
is
transmitted,
as
I
mentioned,
across
a
secure
private
cellular
network,
using
the
closest
commercial
cell
tower
that
already
exists
in
the
neighborhood
consumption
data
is
then
stored
in
in
the
itron's
cloud-based
metadata
consumption
meter,
data
management
system
and
city
of
belvio
receives
this
data
through
a
secure
vpn
to
generate
customer
bills,
as
well
as
to
analyze
water
usage
trends.
K
Furthermore,
our
ami
system
is
secure
and
will
protect
the
privacy
of
the
customers.
Data
sensitive
account
details
such
as
name
and
billing
information
are
not
stored
on
the
meter
or
the
transmitter.
As
I
mentioned,
the
consumption
data
is
transmitted
over
a
secure
private
cellular
network
and
it
is
only
correlated
to
the
customer
account
information.
Once
it's
safely
behind
the
city's
secure
firewall,
we
are
very
confident
in
the
safety
of
our
components
and
the
security
of
the
private
customer
information.
K
We're
excited
to
implement
ami
to
provide
customers
the
benefits
that
council
has
envisioned
for
this
project
as
part
of
the
part
of
bellevue's
smart
city
initiative.
Some
of
the
primary
benefits
include
the
ability
for
customers
to
understand
and
manage
their
water
consumption,
as
well
as
to
detect
leaks
earlier.
These
benefits,
frankly
have
become
a
customer
expectation
and
we're
glad
that
we'll
be
able
to
provide
the
tools
necessary
to
do
this
through
the
city's
ami
project.
K
Additionally,
smart
meters
will
help
the
utility
ensure
water
quality
and
reduce
our
carbon
footprint
by
reducing
our
meter
reading
fleet.
Smart
meters
will
also
allow
the
utility
to
realize
operational
efficiencies,
and
we
will
be
able
to
zero
in
on
leaks
and
identify
unaccounted
for
water
and
reduced
wasted.
Energy.
K
As
you
may
recall,
the
smart
water
meter
journey
has
been
many
years
in
the
making
in
2018
utility
selected
itron
to
execute
our
ami
project
and
council
approved
their
contract
in
december
of
that
year.
As
the
project
progressed,
we
made
a
pivot
in
our
communication
technology
and
in
december,
2019
council
approved
a
change
in
which
we
switched
from
pole,
mounted
radio
collectors
to
cellular
transmitter
solution.
K
K
K
We
were
able
to
replace
all
of
our
large
meters
measuring
three
inch
in
diameter
or
more.
This
picture
you
see
here
is
of
a
four
inch
meter
at
city
hall,
not
an
extremely
large
meter,
but
you
can
see
that
it
takes
multiple
people
lifting
equipment
and
involves
working
in
a
fairly
confined
space.
K
K
K
We
were
scheduled
to
receive
the
first
shipment
of
transmitters
by
august
of
last
year.
These
transmitters
are
now
expected
to
arrive
at
the
end
of
february,
which
is
a
delay
of
about
six
months.
We
are
going
to
continue
to
work
closely
with
itron
to
mitigate
the
effects
of
this
delay
per
their
request.
The
city
has
authorized
increased
installation
rates
for
both
meters
and
transmitters.
K
First,
in
july
of
last
year,
itron
installed
48
beta
prototype
units
on
customer
meters
across
the
city,
the
city
and
itron
coordinated
basic
testing
of
the
endpoint
to
ensure
that
alarms
like
a
burst
pipe
or
a
continuous
leak
are
generated
by
the
meter
and
transmitted.
By
the
end
point,
and
last
week
we
began
what
we
call
our
first
article
testing,
in
which
consumption
data
was
collected
from
the
meter
via
the
transmitter
and
and
cellular
transmitter,
and
the
network
and
processed
through
our
billing
software
to
successfully
generate
a
bill.
K
Over
the
coming
months,
itron
will
continue
to
install
new
digital
meters
for
the
remaining
18
000
customer
accounts
within
bellevue
utility
service
area.
At
the
end
of
this
month,
itron
will
begin
widespread
installation
of
cellular
transmitters
on
most
of
the
40
000
customer
meters.
K
K
So
now
I'd
like
to
change
gears
a
little
bit
and
discuss
the
non-communicating
water
service
also
called
opt
out
option
at
a
2018
council
meeting
we
were
asked
if
we
were
considering
offering
an
exception
to
the
new
ami
system.
We
are
now
at
that
point
where
that
decision
needs
to
be
made.
K
So
why
offer
an
opt-out
program,
while
vast
majority
of
our
customers
are
looking
forward
to
ami
and
smart
meters?
The
utility
and
the
city
council
have
received
comments
from
a
small
number
of
customers
regarding
their
concerns
about
cellular
transmitters
about
45
of
our
more
than
37
000
water
customers
have
inquired
about
the
option
block
time
now.
Cellular
technology
is
not
new,
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
Digital
meters
and
cellular
transmitters
are
widely
accepted
throughout
the
utility
industry
and
are
certified
as
safe
for
use
by
applicable
regulatory
agencies.
K
Ami
is
the
new
standard
meter
involving
comprised
of
a
digital
meter
and
cellular
transmitter.
All
customers
will
receive
new
digital
meters.
However,
for
those
customers
who
want
to
opt
out,
we
would
not
install
a
cellular
transmitter
without
the
transmitter.
The
meter
will
not
be
able
to
send
us
or
the
customer
real-time
meter
data.
K
This
program
would
only
be
available
to
existing
single
family
customers.
Commercial
and
multifamily
would
not
be
eligible,
and
new
customers
would
not
be
eligible
to
achieve
the
full
benefit
of
ami.
It
is
our
goal
to
not
have
customers
opting
out
of
ami
in
the
long
term.
Maintaining
two
separate
systems
is
not
sustainable.
K
K
K
Additionally,
customers
choosing
to
opt
out
would
not
be
eligible
for
water
leak
adjustments,
since
these
customers
are
choosing
to
forego
the
the
available
tools
for
early
leak
detection
and,
as
you
know,
from
the
leak
adjustment
requests
coming
before
you
an
undetected.
Leak
can
add
up
to
thousands
thousands
of
dollars.
K
And
there's
also
an
impact
to
the
utility
for
offering
this
program.
We
would
need
to
continue
to
maintain
staffing
and
vehicles
to
manually.
Read
meters.
Customers
who
have
requested
to
opt
out
are
spread
across
the
city
and
it
will
require
staff
to
drive
to
each
address
to
manually
read
their
meters.
K
Here
are
the
proposed
fees
to
cover
the
cost
related
to
providing
the
opt-out
service.
There
is
a
one-time
application
and
process
fee
which
includes
the
cost
to
install
the
transmitter
in
the
future,
as
well
as
recurring,
meter
re
reading
fee
on
each
future
bill.
If
a
cellular
transmitter
has
already
been
installed,
there
would
also
be
an
additional
fee
to
cover
or
cost
to
remove
it.
So
a
total
cost
of
about
125
dollars
on
first
bill
would
be
is
anticipated,
assuming
that
each
of
these
fees
applies
and
then
a
15
for
each
bill
thereafter,.
K
As
at
this
point,
I
was
going
to
switch
over
to
chair
connect
nasevic,
but
and
I'm
hoping
that
she's
still
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have.
I
am
oh.
B
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
so
I'm
gonna
we'll
start
off
with
councilmember
lee
because
I
believe
he's
liaison
for
the
for
the
environmental
services
commission
and
then
I'll
call
on
you.
If
you
raise
your
hand,
so
go
ahead.
Councilmember
lee.
C
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
I'm
excited
about
this
ami
program
and
the
benefits,
and
especially
I
want
to
thank
the
the
commission
and
the
commission
chair
manya
for
very
thoughtful
consideration.
C
You
know
of
the
program
and
also
a
spot
especially
of
the
opt-out
option,
and
we
also,
however,
heard
I
still
have
this
more
this
evening
at
the
oral
communication
some
concerns,
even
though
it's
not
many
as
a
result,
you
know
these
people
do
not
wish
you
know
to
switch
to
ami
and,
after
you
know
the
commission's
very
thorough
review
and
discussion.
C
They
have
recommended
against
the
opt-out
option
and,
however,
the
staff
has
recommended
the
to
include
an
update
option,
but,
based
on
the
number
one
is,
as
I
understand
as
you've
heard,
the
presentation,
the
staff
just
made
minimal.
C
C
And,
however,
you
know
it's
important
that
this
is
something
that
will
require
console
consideration
and
I
believe
that
you've
heard
it,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
to
decide
whether
in
consideration
what
the
staff
positions
are
and
what
they
can
do
and
also
in
consideration
of
any
questions
the
concept
may
have.
C
I
will
be
also
interested
to
know
what
the
council's
conversation
questions
and
ultimate
decision
that
we
will
make.
So
I
want
to
again
thank
the
commission
for
very
thoughtful,
diligent
discussion
and
also
the
staff's
clear
presentation
and
rationale
for
their
recommendation.
P
Thanks
mayor
thanks
and
and
thanks
thank
you
commission
chair
for
coming,
so
I
I
mainly
just
have
some
questions.
I
just
want
to
understand
this,
and
I
know
that
you
went
over
part
of
this
in
the
powerpoint,
but
I
wasn't
sure
I
caught
it.
So
I
just
first
will
the
digital
meters
and
or
the
cellular
transmitters
discover
leaks
that
are
on
the
city
side
of
the
meter
or
where
they
only
find
leaks
on
the
customer
side
of
the
meter.
K
P
Great
super
second,
I
I
thought
we
had
someone
testify
that
every
four
seconds
the
transmitter
would
go
off
and
I
thought
you
said
20
seconds
a
day,
yeah
what
how
often
is
the
transmitter.
I
thought
it
was
like
three
or
four
times
a
day
just
for
a
couple
seconds.
How
often
is
it
going
off.
P
And
is
that
the
only
source
of
rf
emissions
from
this
device
yep
and
is
there
any
other
ultrasound?
I
don't
understand
that
the
clock
that
I
am
aware
of
okay
is
I'm
wondering,
as
we
all
get
deliveries
to
our
house
and
the
ups
people
and
the
fedex
people
come
up
and
they
drop
stuff
and
they
scan
it
and
they
transmit
it.
K
Or
going
through
an
automatic
door
at
a
grocery
store.
P
Oh
okay,
yeah,
or
even
just
all
the
teenagers
that
come
in
out
of
my
house
with
their
cell
phones
going
all
the
time
right.
So,
okay
and
then
let's
see
I'm
just
looking
at
my
questions,
the
does
the
proposed
opt-out
fee
schedule
cover
the
full
city's
costs.
K
We've
calculated
them
to
cover
the
city's
cost.
Yes,.
P
K
P
D
Yeah,
I
appreciate
the
presentation
and
yeah.
I
think
it's
good
that
you
set.
You
know
both
issues
and
both
questions
before
us
to
talk
about
this,
and
I
also
appreciate
very
much
the
the
work
that
the
commission
has
done.
That's
very
important
and
sounds
like
they've
done
a
really
thoughtful
approach
to
this
very
thoughtful
process,
and
I
guess
the
question
I
have
on
this.
Well,
I
actually
I
don't
have
any
questions
on
it,
because
it
seems
that
this
is
not
something
we're
doing.
That's
unique.
D
There
are
lots
and
lots
of
utilities
doing
this.
I
have
been
doing
it
for
some
time
and,
as
councilmember
robertson
pointed
out,
we
have
all
kinds
of
these.
You
know
the
same
type
of
units
going
around
us
all
the
time,
and
I
guess
I'm
I'm.
D
Having
a
I
mean,
I
and
I
appreciate
the
effort
of
the
staff
to
try
to
come
to
some
compromise
to
acknowledge
concerns
that
an
individual
has
I
and
I'm
not
sure
that
it
didn't
sound
like
the
amount
of
money
that
we'd
be
collecting
on
this
would
cover
what
you
indicated
would
be
the
cost
of
going
around
to
44
or
probably
more
at
some
point
places
to
collect
these,
and
I'm
just
not
sure
about
that.
D
But
it's
you
know
collecting
trying
to
to
make
that
come
even
is
good,
but
in
the
long
run
it's
the
thing
that
also
strikes
me
is
that
so
in
five
years
we're
going
to
say:
well,
we
don't
believe
you
now
and
we
don't
want
to.
We
don't
have
to
accommodate
it.
It
just
doesn't
make
sense
that
it's
a
false
promise
in
a
sense
that
we're
going
to
let
them
do
this,
but
nothing's
going
to
change
from
that
time
to
five
years
out.
D
It
just
seems
kind
of
if,
if
we
believe
that
they
should
have
the
right
so
to
speak,
to
do
that
to
not
to
to
opt
out,
then
how
can
we
take
that
away?
At
an
arbitrary
time
period,
because
that's
just
for
our
convenience,
then
so
it
just
to
me
it's
it
causes
more
problems.
It's
going
to
solve,
and
I
just
don't.
I
don't-
and
I
agree
again
agree
that
this
is
something
that
is
around
us.
It's
not.
D
I
mean
it's
not
scientifically
based
as
far
as
any
of
us
know
the
the
the
concern-
and
I
just
think
it's
it's
it's-
it's
not
an
effective
use
of
our
time
and
energy
and
funds
to
do
this,
and
I
I
believe
that
if
we
say
we're
going
to
do
this
you're
going
to
have
a
number
of
other
people
say:
oh
well,
I
want
to
do
it
too,
so
it
just
creates
a
and
it
also
creates,
I
think,
in
the
minds
of
some
other
people,
the
question.
D
I
appreciate
the
effort
to
try
to
arrive
at
a
nice
solution
for
certain
you
know
individual
citizens,
but
and
fairs,
but
in
the
long
run
I
think,
as
you
have
done
all
over
the
years
of
this,
you
really
come
up
with
a
very
solid
program
and
we
need
to
implement
it
and
it's
safe
and
and
it's
it's
something
that
we
don't
need
to
to
waste
energy
and
money
on
to
just
to
satisfy
some
people's
concerns
that
are
not
based
in
any
that,
as
we
pointed
out,
there's
a
lot
of
difference
in
the
facts
and
everything.
D
So
I
I
would
go
along
with
the
commission.
I
think
they
did
a
great
job
and
and
that's
why
we
have
them.
That's
why
we
have
staff.
We
have
good
conversations
together
and
we
get
all
these
issues
out
and
I
think
it's
a
very
good
present
presentation
and
I
would
agree
with
I
agree-
I'm
really
excited
about
the
program
going
forward
and
agree
with
it.
But
I
agree
with
the
commission's
recommendation.
Thank.
B
You
thank
you
councilmember
stokes.
I
I
appreciate
your
rationale
and
I'm
gonna
argue
the
same
from
a
different
angle
and
I'm
gonna
say
you
know
if
in
fact
it
was
unsafe,
unhealthy
and
it
it
risk
people's
privacy.
I
wouldn't
want
this
for
anybody,
so
I
have
to
think
that
the
commission
examined
the
potential
for
danger
and
for
risking
people's
privacy,
and
I
just
wondered
if
commission,
if
chair
nezovich,
could
could
speak
to
that.
O
Sure
this
has
been
ongoing
for
a
couple
of
years
now,
and
I
do
recall
us
talking
about
the
privacy
component,
but
it
was
a
couple
of
years
ago,
at
least,
and
I
recalled
that
there
was
a
fear
where
we
would
be
able
to
track
if
somebody's
home
or
the
number
of
flashes
and
things
of
like
that,
the
presentations
we
have
received
from
the
experts
and
the
utility
staff
debunked
that
concern.
B
Okay
and
what
about
dangers
to
people's
health?
I
mean
this
is
not
attached
to
their
house.
This
is
attached
halfway
between
their
home
and
the.
K
It's
actually
right
at
the
in
the
right-of-way
generally
right
by
the
street,
so.
B
Did
you
look
into?
Did
the
commission
look
into
look
at
the
research
to
see
if
there's
any
research
that
supports
risk
to
health
of
the
individuals
who
are
nearby.
O
Absolutely
and
I
specifically
have
invested
numerous
hours
in
addition
to
the
presentation
that
we
have
received
for
last
number
of
years
to
make
sure
I
also
I'm
very
active
in
the
community
in
a
sense
where
I
read,
I
hear
what
goes
on
and
I
have
seen
the
posts,
for
example,
on
nextdoor,
where
the
concern
was
brought
forward,
and
I
was
actually
surprised
and
fascinated
how
little
of
support
such
posts
brought
forward
and
that's.
Why
that's
not
why?
O
But
that
makes
gives
me
reassurance
that
we're
on
the
right
point
that
majority
of
us,
the
other
37
000,
have
done
our
due
diligence
and
we're
excited
for
this
program
and.
B
B
F
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
chair
for
giving
us
that
that
thorough
explanation
for
the
due
diligence
that
you
did
spend
over
the
years
looking
at
this,
and
this
has
been
several
years
in
the
making,
and
so
I
just
appreciate
your
thoughtfulness
and
and
looking
at
making
sure
that
it
is
a
system
that
is
safe
for
the
city
of
bellevue
and
our
residents.
So
thank
you,
deputy.
B
E
Thank
you
mayor
and
now
thank
you
for
the
great
presentation
and
chair
nizovich,
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight
with
child
in
tow
appreciate
it
you
making
the
time
yeah
as
the
former
liaison
to
environmental
services.
You
know,
I
remember,
being
a
part
of
these
conversations
and
I
really
appreciate
the
the
work
that
the
commission
did
even
back
then,
but
even
at
up
to
speed
or
up
to
date.
Now
they
continue
to
to
look
at
that
from
a
safety
perspective
and
and
also
from
a
security
perspective.
E
So
you
know,
from
my
perspective,
council
member
robertson
asked
all
the
right
questions
there.
I
don't
have
any
additional
questions
and
actually
councilmember
stokes
captured
my
sentiment
on
this
pretty
app
pretty
accurately.
I
I
trust
the
you
know
the
science
and
the
data
regarding
this.
I
trust
the
commission
and
their
due
diligence
and
I
trust
the
staff
and
even
though
their
recommendation
is-
and
I
appreciate
their
willingness
to
you
know-
to
satisfy
everybody's
needs,
but
it
just
seems
this
is
not
something
outside
of
the
norm.
E
I
don't
think
anything's
going
to
change
in
five
years.
If
you
don't
like
it
now,
you're
not
gonna
like
it
in
five
years,
but
and
and
and
I
I
do
think
that
this
may
increase
the
number
of
people.
That
might
say,
oh
I'll,
just
keep
it
the
same
way,
I'm
not
going
to
make
the
jump,
and
I
think
that
will
add
on
to
the
cost,
to
the
to
the
city,
and
you
know
the
and
then
the
future
reinstallation
efforts
in
the
future
etc.
E
So
so
my
my
thought
and
believe
is
firmly
with
the
the
commission's
decision
on
this
is
the
right
one
and
and
again
I
appreciate
all
their
all
their
good
work.
B
Any
other
comments
or
questions
not
seeing
any,
let's
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion
here.
Deputy
mayor.
B
Well,
I'd
like
to
what
does
staff
feel
that
they
need,
in
terms
I'd
like
to
take
a
vote
on
this?
Okay,
that.
K
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
to
sort
of
put
this
to
bed.
So
I
think
your
con,
your
thought,
I
mean
your
vote
on
whether
you
want
to
do
opt
out
or
not
would
be.
E
B
K
G
K
Think
what
because
that
is,
if
you
want
to
do
opt-out,
then
you
need
to
have
us,
bring
it
legislation
to
implement
those
keys.
So.
B
Would
be
to
not
offer
up.
E
K
B
7
35
we're
going
to
take
a
five
minute
break,
come
back
at
7,
40.
B
G
Thank
you
mayor
robinson
and
council
members.
The
second
topic
on
your
agenda
this
evening
is
the
first
quarterly
update
from
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative
for
2022..
G
Tonight's
informational
study
session
will
provide
counsel,
with
an
update
on
progress
toward
implementing
the
sustainable
bell,
be
environmental
stewardship
plan,
as
well
as
the
overview
of
the
22
environmental
stewardship
initiative.
Work
plan
joining
us
this
evening
is
our
matt
cummins
director
emile
king
assistant,
director,
jennifer
ewing,
environmental
stewardship
program
manager,
all
from
the
community
development
department,
as
well
as
anna
hagara
resource
conservation
program
manager
for
finance
for
the
finance
and
asset
management
department.
With
that,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
mac.
R
Sorry
I
had
the
mute
problem
there.
I
thought
I
got
the
button.
Thank
you.
City
manager,
miyaki
introduced
this
item.
This
is
your
quarterly
environmental
stewardship
initiative
update
and
I
know,
there's
been
a
number
of
speakers
at
some
recent
council
meetings
wanting
to
talk
about
the
esi.
R
So
in
our
commitment
to
the
council,
we're
coming
back
quarterly
now,
instead
of
twice
a
year
and
we're
going
to
go
through
a
variety
of
topics
and
work,
that's
been
completed
recently
and
then
talk
about
what's
coming
up
later
this
year,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
hand
it
off
to
jennifer,
ewing,
our
program
manager
and
then
emil,
and
I
are
happy
to
answer
any
additional
questions
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
Q
Great
thanks
mac
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
members
of
the
council,
I'm
happy
to
be
with
you
here
this
evening
and
have
the
opportunity
to
share
an
update
on
our
progress
again.
This
is
for
information
only
and
we'll
focus
on
an
update
on
our
progress
on
the
actions
in
the
plan
and
we'll
talk
about
our
work
coming
up
for
this
year.
Q
So,
first
in
in
your
agenda
packet,
we
provided
a
summary
of
our
implementation,
progress
over
the
last
or
work
to
date
and
in
particular
accomplishments
over
the
last
quarter,
and
that
we'll
be
continuing
to
use
that
progress
tracker
quarterly.
As
we
come
back
to
council,
I
wanted
to
kind
of
highlight
the
breadth
of
different
things.
Q
We've
been
working
on
across
the
departments
involved
in
implementing
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
and
then,
after
this
I'll
give
kind
of
a
highlight
or
a
spotlight
on
a
couple
of
the
different
major
initiatives
we've
been
working
on
as
a
county
council
member
mentioned
about
the
watershed
management
plan.
Q
The
utilities
department
is
moving
forward
with
that
completing
three
watershed.
Health
assessments
also
finished
when
the
first
phase
of
outreach
last
year
moving
forward
with
developing
a
residential
energy
efficiency
program,
which
we
can
provide
more
of
an
update
on
at
the
next
council,
update
we're
still
in
the
kind
of
earlier
phases
of
designing
that
program
and
working
on
some
other
things
of
our
clean
buildings,
technical
support
program
and
then
to
support.
A
lot
of
this
effort
is
our
the
enhanced
engagement
work.
Q
We
were,
we've
been
doing
to
really
continue
the
engagement
that
we
had
in
2019
and
2020
to
develop
the
plan
and
really
transitioning
to
working
with
our
residents
and
our
partner
organizations
to
implement
the
plan.
So
in
the
last
quarter,
we've
had
a
number
of
different
working
group
meetings,
meetings
with
our
sustainability
leaders
group
and
then
most
recently
last
week
at
town
hall
with
our
residents.
Q
The
the
graphic
on
the
right
here
is
just
kind
of
an
excerpt
from
a
recent
residential
energy
efficiency
working
group
meeting.
We
were
having
talking
about
some
of
the
different
priorities
for
a
home
energy
retrofit
program,
and
you
know,
of
course,
continuing
to
meet
remotely,
but
you
know
really
leveraging
some
some
different
tools
to
try
to
make
our
meetings
a
little
more
engaging
and
gather
input
from
our
different
stakeholders
and
then
also
in
addition
to
all
the
work.
Q
The
different
city
departments
have
been
doing
to
implement
the
plan,
and
this
list
isn't
necessarily
exhaustive,
there's
a
little
more
detail
in
the
progress
report.
We're
also
really
pleased
to
share
an
accomplishment
from
one
of
our
partners.
The
spring
district
was
recently
certified
as
a
lead
for
with
the
lead
nd
certification.
That's
lead
for
neighborhood
development.
Q
Lead
you've,
probably
heard,
is
a
green
building
rating
system
in
recent
years.
Well,
actually,
it's
been
more
than
that,
maybe
the
past
decade,
or
so
they
they
came
up
with
a
new
green
certification
for
neighborhoods,
which
the
spring
district
set
out
to
apply
for
a
number
of
years
ago
and
the
the
neighborhood
development
is
far
enough
along
that
they
were
able
to
achieve
that.
So
that's
not
only
a
certification
for
having
a
number
of
green
buildings.
Q
There,
but
also
recognizes
just
the
whole
design
and
layout
of
the
neighborhood
as
a
sustainable
neighborhood,
so
really
excited
to
see
wright
redstead,
taking
the
lead
in
that
and
want
to
recognize
that
that
is.
I
think
it's
also
a
great
accomplishment
as
bell
red
continues
to
develop.
Q
Q
Buildings
over
50
000
square
feet
in
washington
state
have
to
comply
with
the
washington
state,
clean
buildings
act
by
starting
in
2026
and
then
and
onwards,
depending
on
the
size
of
the
building,
and
so
buildings
will
have
to
meet
a
certain
energy
efficiency
target,
but
in
over
the
next
few
years,
to
you
know
to
incentivize
buildings
to
get
in
compliance
early.
The
state
has
said
set
aside
75
million
dollars
in
the
incentive
funds,
so
our
program
is
designed
to
help
buildings
in
bellevue.
Q
Getting
compliance
early
for
those
that
are
eligible
go
after
those
state
incentive
funds
and
really
help
them
reduce
energy
use,
so
we're
working
with
mcdonald
miller
a
local
engineering
firm
to
work
with
buildings
in
bellevue
to
help
them
benchmark
their
energy,
use,
look
for
opportunities
to
reduce
energy
use
and
help
them
with
all
the
the
paperwork
and
everything
to
get
in
compliance.
Q
Q
They
have
some
good
opportunities
for
saving
energy
and
it
looks
like
they'll
be
eligible
to
pursue
the
watch.
The
early
adopter
incentives,
plus
some
other
incentives
from
the
state
and
puget
sound
energy.
So
our
consultant
will
help
them
kind
of
package
all
this
together
to
look
at
how
they
can
make
some
energy
efficiency
improvements.
You
know
with
the
the
least
amount
of
investment
and
really
taking
advantage
of
different
funding
sources
available,
also
working
with
bellevue
college
and
a
number
of
different
buildings
downtown.
Also.
Q
I
wanted
to
note
this
program
for
the
state
law.
Only
commercial
buildings
have
to
comply,
but
multi-family
buildings
are
also
eligible
to
apply
for
the
early
adopter
incentives.
So
our
program
is
really
also
looking
to
not
only
work
with
commercial
buildings
but
also
in
particular,
multi-family
buildings.
Serving
you
know,
affordable
housing
properties
so
want
to
help
those
buildings
reduce
their
energy,
is
to
save
money
for
bellevue's
low
and
moderate
income
residents
on
the
city
operations
side.
One
of
the
big
efforts
we've
been
working
on
over
the
past
several
months
is
a
green
fleet
strategy.
Q
So
looking
how
we
can
achieve
our
goals
for
100
electric
light
duty
vehicles
by
2040
working
with
a
firm,
that's
worked
with
cities
around
the
country
on
on
different
green
fleet
strategies
and
electric
vehicle
strategies
and
figuring
out
not
only
just
what
are
the
kinds
of
vehicles
that
are
available
now
and
will
be
available
soon
in
the
future
that
are
electric,
but
the
the
really
complicated
part.
I
think
we're
learning
is
just
how
do
we
get
all
the
ev
charging
infrastructure
in
place
in
our
facilities?
Q
You
know,
particularly
in
city
hall,
and
the
bellevue
service
center.
What's
the
most
cost-effective
way
to
do
that?
How
might
we
kind
of
phase
some
of
that
in?
So
I
think
it's
good
timing
with
a
lot
of
the
federal
infrastructure
funding
coming
out
where
there
there
are
some.
There
are
going
to
be
some
larger
pots
of
money
for
ev
charging
infrastructure.
Q
So
this
study,
I
think,
has
hopefully
positioned
us
well
to
understand
our
needs
for
our
own
fleet,
and
then
we've
been
working
on
some
different
projects
for
energy
efficiency
and
city
facilities.
We
finalized
a
grant
agreement
to
do
some
energy
efficiency
improvements
and
received
some
grant
funding
from
the
department
of
commerce,
and
we
were
also
awarded
a
grant
from
the
department
of
commerce
to
install
solar
on
city
hall,
so
we're
working
through
some
of
the
the
details
for
that
on
how
we
can
make
that
project
pencil
out,
but
excited
for
that.
Q
I'd
say
you
know
the
kind
of
key
theme
here
for
a
lot
of
the
municipal
operations.
Projects
is
kind
of
strategic
investments,
and
how
can
we
get
the
you
know,
sort
of
biggest
bang
for
our
buck
if
you
will
and
that
kind
of
goes
for
looking
at
how
we
electrify
our
fleet
and
also
you
know
down
to
how
do
we?
You
know
care
for
the
er
for
our
urban
forest,
that
the
city
manages
the
the
forested
areas
on
parks,
properties
and
we're
looking
at
that
through
our
urban
forest
health
assessment.
Q
So
I
think
a
big
focus
on
kind
of
maximizing
our
our
investments
so
to
give
kind
of
a
high
level
overview
of
where
we're
at
on
progress.
So
with
our
quarterly
council
updates,
we'll
provide
an
update
on
the
plan,
implementation,
progress
and
then,
once
a
year,
we'll
provide
an
update,
normally
in
the
july
time
frame
on
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
inventory
and
how
we're
doing
in
terms
of
you
know
reducing
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
Q
We
normally
do
that
in
july,
because
not
all
the
data
is
available
this
early
in
the
year,
so
we
have
to
we
use
data
sets
from
different
sources
like
from
puget
sound
energy
from
the
psrc,
so
kind
of
waiting
for
them
to
compile
all
the
data
from
last
year.
So
to
give
you
a
sense
of
of
where
we're
at
with
you
know,
beginning
work
on
implementing
the
plan.
Q
Since
our
last
update
to
council
we've
started
10
new
actions
incorporated
nine
actions
that
we
had
kind
of
was
considered
started
more
into
the
ongoing
operations.
So
that
would
be,
for
instance,
like
the
tree
giveaway
program.
Q
You
know
we
said
that
we
had
started
that
one
we've
kind
of
transitioned
that
more
into
an
ongoing
program
that
we're
working
on
so
that's
kind
of
an
example
of
how
we
maybe
kind
of
change
the
classification
or
update
the
classification
on
some
of
these.
In
terms
of
the
newer
things,
we've
started
a
few
things
to
highlight:
whoops,
the
transportation
department
has
recently
launched
the
curbside
management
plan,
which
will
help
us
to
plan
for
different
modes
of
transportation
coming
into
bellevue.
Q
Also,
look
at
opportunities
for
ev
charging
in
the
right-of-way
and
working
with
different
transportation
options,
for
instance
like
some
of
the
the
corporate
buses
and
that
sort
of
thing
we
started
work
on
the
home
energy,
retrofit
program,
design
and
then
also
started
work
on
a
tree,
canopy
assessment,
so
looking
at
which
hopefully
we'll
see
by
either
the
the
next
council
update,
or
certainly
the
one
after
that,
we'll
be
able
to
share
some
updated
tree.
Q
Canopy
data
with
you
all
so
beginning
work
on
a
number
of
new
things
for
this
year
and
then
yeah
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
where
we're
at
of
the
77
actions
in
the
plan,
we've
either
started
work
or
incorporated
into
our
ongoing
operations
about
you
know,
75
or
so
of
the
actions
so
for
a
five-year
plan
after
year.
One
we're
you
know
pretty
well
on
our
way
with
about
three
quarters
of
the
actions
or,
I
should
say
at
least
have
started
work
on
at
least
three
quarters
of
them.
Q
So
shifting
gears
to
talk
about
our
work
plan
for
this
year,
we're
continuing
a
number
of
different
actions
that
we
began
last
year,
starting
a
handful
of
new
things,
a
few
different
projects
to
prepare
us
for
the
comprehensive
plan
update
looking
at
our
climate
vulnerabilities.
Q
Looking
at
you
know,
air
quality
in
particular
in
proximity
to
our
freeways
and
then
some
other
projects
that
can
help
us.
You
know
really
prepare
for
some
federal
funding
opportunities.
In
addition
to
the
green
fleet
strategy,
the
transportation
department
is
going
to
be
leading
an
ev
roadmap
project
to
really
help
us
look
at.
Q
Where
might
there
be
some
other
opportunities
for
ev
charging
throughout
the
city
and
then
some
other
things
here
for
on
the
energy
side,
we'll
be
continuing
implementation
of
the
clean
buildings
incentive
program
and
then
also
looking
to
launch
a
home
energy
retrofit
program
this
year,
and
then
we've
heard
quite
a
bit.
You
know
interest
in
our
tree
canopy
or
tree
regulations,
so
later
this
year
plan
to
look
at
how
we
can
where
there
might
be
opportunities
to
update
the
land
use
code
and
the
clearing
and
grading
code.
Q
Q
Q
Looking
for
strategic
opportunities
to
scale
up
some
of
our
work
with
federal
funding
or
looking
at
partnerships,
you
know,
for
instance,
with
some
of
the
other
east
side
cities
for
a
couple
of
the
different
actions
continuing
to
collaborate
across
departments
to
implement
the
plan.
Q
You
know,
as
we
worked
on
our
work
plan
for
this
year
and
then
also
as
we
start
to
look
at
our
efforts
for
2023
and
24
in
the
budget
process,
continuing
to
work
together
across
departments
to
identify
opportunities
to
you
know
further
advance
the
implementation
of
the
plan,
and
so
yep
that
summarizes
the
the
presentation.
Q
B
B
I
see
deputy
mayor,
followed
by
council
member
stokes
and
then
son.
E
Thank
you
mayor.
A
great
presentation.
Jennifer
thanks
for
the
for
the
update,
looks
like
we're,
making
some
some
great
progress
across
a
number
of
different
priorities
on
the
on
the
work
plan
there,
and
I
wanted
just
to
ask
you
a
quick
question
regarding
something
that
maybe
is.
E
In
the
plan,
or
doesn't
maybe
get
enough
attention
as
it
maybe
should
I
wasn't
as
concerned
about
this
a
couple
of
years
ago,
but
I'm
increasingly
very
concerned
about
the
impact
to
litter
in
the
city
of
bellevue,
as
I
start
to
see-
and
I'm
not
sure
this
is
due
to
covet
or
coming
out
of
the
winter
or
what
have
you
but
the
accumulation
of
litter
that
I'm
starting
to
see
on
the
side
of
the
roads
in
parks,
etc.
E
But
do
we
have
anything
currently
in
place
right
now
to
address
litter
and
or
are
we
looking
at
any
partnerships,
because
there
are
some
national
organizations
that
do
litter,
control
and
and
litter
patrols,
and
we
even
got
one
here
locally
with
bellevue,
green
and
clean
that
goes
out
and
picks
up
litter
from
different
parts
of
the
city?
Occasionally
so
can
you
can
you
address
that
for
me.
Q
Sure,
yeah
yeah
litter
is
definitely
something
that's
come
up.
I
think,
since
the
implementation
of
the
plan,
as
as
a
concern
for
some
residents,
we
did
not
it's
not
something.
We
really
addressed
explicitly
with
an
action
in
the
plan,
although
I
think
you
know,
as
as,
for
instance,
utilities
department
is
working
on
the
watershed
management
plan.
You
know
street
sweeping
is
coming
up
as
a
possible
strategy
to
improve
the
health
of
our
streams.
So
litter,
I
think,
is
as
we've
looked
into
this
issue.
Q
Q
You
know
promote
in
our
in
the
community
in
terms
of
partnerships,
yeah
we're
definitely
supportive
of
our
the
resident
group,
the
bellevue,
green
and
clean
in
in
their
work
and
interest
in
trying
to
you
know,
remove
litter
in
the
city,
and
I
you
know,
I
think
it
kind
of
is
an
ongoing
issue
that
I
think
we'll
you
know
want
to
continue
to
look
at
how
we
can
maybe
improve
our
services
around.
That.
E
Okay
now
I
appreciate
that
and
but
I'd
love
to
see
us
do
something
for
bellevue,
specifically
rather
than
weight
on
the
state.
E
D
There
we
go
all
right,
jennifer,
appreciate
very
much
the
the
presentation
and
I'm
I'm
really
have
to
say,
I'm
really
thrilled
at
the
approach
and
appreciate
your
current
focus
on.
You
know,
providing
progress
on
the
programs
and
and
how
they
fit
together
and-
and
I
know
you're
you're-
it
seems
to
me
we're
we're
kind
of
getting
to
that
face,
which
is
what
you
have
been
saying.
We're
kind
of
getting
to
a
phase,
we're
not
quite
there
yet
and
it
seems
to
me.
D
You're
really
ended
up
a
much
more
now
really
moving
forward
on
this
and
piecing
some
things
together
in
a
way
that
I
think
is
very,
very
helpful,
and
I
appreciate
particularly
you
know
your
significant
work
on
on
implementation
of
each
of
these
pieces
and
how
they
all
fit
together
and
an
expansion
of
of
our
scope.
It's
clear
to
me
when
you're
talking
about
this
a
lot
of
these
are
areas
that
two
or
three
years
ago
we
weren't
talking
about
them
the
same
way.
D
So
that's
that's
all
very
good,
putting
all
those
pieces
together
and
that's
that's
a
lot
of
things
going
on
the
the
thing
that
the
deputy
mayor
mentioned.
I
think,
is
interesting
to
think
about
it.
But
it's
it's
it's
one
of
those
things
that
is
important.
It's
environmental
and
it's.
It
has
something
to
do
with
the
way
people
treat
their.
D
You
know,
treat
the
city
and
treat
their
treat
the
land
and
it's
not
specifically
a
an
environmental
services
goal,
but
certainly
we
can
come
up
some
programs
and
work
with
other
organizations
to
do
that,
and
it
brings
me
also
to
the
same
kind
of
issues
that
we
have
with
the
tree
cuttings
going
on
and
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
concerns
from,
and
that's
that's
something
that
is
not
that
that
the
environmental
services
really
isn't
involved
with
as
much
in
a
sense.
D
But
it's
it's
impacted
by
the
changing
in
in
the
building
and
and
a
lot
of
issues
that
come
up
on
that
and
that's
something
we're
know
you're
attacking
on
that.
But
that's
that's
very
important
and
the
issue
of
trees
being
cutting
down
and
more
litter
is,
is
something
that
is
very
important
to
people.
D
It's
it's
not
as
big
as
some
of
the
other
things,
but
I
know
you're
working
on
that
and
again
I
appreciate
the
significant
work
on
expanding
and
tying
together
the
work
you're
doing,
and
it's
I'm
very
excited
about
it
and
very
pleased
with
the
the
progress
on
it
and
you
know,
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
a
lot
of
new
things
that
are
coming
up
and
as
we
get
into
other
issues
on
clean
water
and
those
kind
of
things
too.
D
So
good
work
appreciate
the
presentation,
and
I
think
you
know
your
the
the
presentation
this
time
is
really
really
good
in
terms
of
tying
all
the
pieces
together.
Thank
you.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
anna
and
jennifer
for
all
your
work.
You
know
you're
the
the
mighty
duel
that
gets
so
much
done
related
to
the
esp,
and
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
thought
the
town
hall
was
excellent,
with
information
to
the
community
and
kudos
for
the
the
lead
neighborhood
award
for
the
spring
district
and
the
solar
for
city
hall.
I
think
those
are
the
kind
of
things
where
we
model
the
way
for
what
we
want
to
do,
and
we
do
have
a
long
ways
to
go.
F
I
would
say
to
my
to
the
deputy
mayor
and
council
member
stokes.
You
know,
I
hope
that
we
actually
can
get
support
for
a
adopt
a
litter,
adopt-a-street
program
that
I
brought
up
last
year
at
the
retreat.
F
So
I
would
love
to
see
us
embarking
on
a
program
like
that,
and
I
would
say
that
the
other
part
of
it
that
I
was
thinking
about
is
how
do
we
move
faster
with
our
green
local
procurements
is
one
of
the
items
in
there
and
reducing
operational
waste
and
building
retrofits
and
green
fleets.
F
I
think
it's
in
there
already
as
items,
and
I
know
that
the
governor
is
very
interested
in
looking
at
how
we
accelerate
our
ev
infrastructure,
as
well
as
the
both
the
vehicles
themselves
and
conversions
to
green
fleet,
as
well
as
putting
infrastructure
in
place,
so
that
more
and
more
electrification
of
vehicles
can
happen.
So
I
think
we're
well
positioned
for
that.
I
guess
I
would
just
say
that
I
am,
while
I'm
really
glad
of
the
progress
we've
made
to
lay
this
groundwork.
F
Because,
right
now,
it's
not
clear
from
the
data
we
have
about
whether
we
are
meeting
are
on
our
way
to
meeting
our
goals
based
on
the
contributions
from
these
different
strategies
in
the
impact
wedge
analysis.
So
I
look
forward
to
when
we
get
the
updated
information
in
july.
So
we
can.
We
can
see
how
we're
doing
I'm
just
concerned
that
if
we
begin
with
the
goal
in
mind
of
20
30,
50
reduction,
that
we
are
not
on
track
yet
to
meet
that
goal.
F
So
I
hope
that
we
can
pivot
and
still
get
back
on
track,
but
it
I
would
like
to
understand
more
about
that.
Q
I
think
yeah
we
can
definitely
provide
more
information
just
on
on
how
we're
doing
and
the
you
know,
greenhouse
gas
emissions
for
2021
when
we
come
back
in
july
and
then
in
terms
of
looking
at
kind
of
the
relative
weight
or
impact
of
the
different
actions.
I
think
we'll
have
to
give
a
little
thought
to
just
how
we
we
share
that,
but
yeah,
I
think
I
I
understand,
I
think,
what
you're
you're
interested
in
and
so
yeah.
We
can
definitely
think
about
how
best
to
to
weave
that
into
our
our
progress
report.
B
Thank
you
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
if
anybody
else
wants
to
comment,
please
let
me
know
you
know
I
I
thank
you
for
the
presentation
we
really
are
interested,
so
I'm
glad
we're
having
these
more
often,
I
have
to
credit
the
city.
B
A
lot
of
the
criteria
for
the
lead
nd
in
the
spring
district
was
mandated
by
the
city.
So
you
know
the
the
things
that
got
the
spring
district.
That
certification
were
because
the
city
really
pushed
for
it.
So
I'm
very
proud
of
that
and
I'm
I
love
what
the
spring
district
has
done,
and
I
honestly
just
think
that
everything
that's
built
in
bellevue
from
here
on
should
be
sustainable
and
there's
no
excuse
for
not
putting
that
front
and
center.
B
So
I
appreciate
seeing
this
work
with
the
building
clean
energy
buildings,
and
I'm
wondering
are
you
doing
retrofitting
as
well
or
are
these
just
with
new
buildings.
Q
Yes,
so
the
our
the
clean
buildings
incentive
program
that
we
launched
recently
that
will
be
focused
on
retrofitting
buildings
in
the
community.
B
Well,
I
I
sure
hope
we
have
a
big
outreach
on
that,
because
these
building
owners
may
not
be
aware
of
what
you're
offering
them,
but
we
have
some
big
offenders
in
our
city
and
one
of
them
is
our
maiden
bower
center.
I
believe
that
needs
a
retrofit
more
than
most
buildings,
so
I
hope
there's
a
way
to
target
that
so
that,
as
a
city,
we
can
lead
by
example.
B
Q
Q
I
think
you
know
where
the
complexity
comes
in
is
you
know
a
lot
of
the
engagement
with
the
development
community
and
residents
and
it's
pretty
complex
issues,
and
so
I
think
you
know
in
other
cities
where
the
tree
code
update
has
taken
time
that
you
know
some
of
just
the
engagement
that's
necessary
to
get
into
a
lot
of
the
technical
aspects
of
the
code
is
kind
of
where
some
of
the,
where
can
take
some
time
but
mac-
I
don't
know
if
you
wanted
to
to
chime
in
a
bit
just
on
this
and
some
of
the
other
kind
of
land
use
code
work,
that's
happening.
R
Yeah
thanks
jennifer
yeah
mayor
we
are,
this
is
absolutely
on
the
work
plan
and
we
are
working
with
development
services.
As
you
all
know,
there
are
a
number
of
code
amendments
that
are
wanting
to
move
forward
some
around
affordable
housing,
some
around
these
kinds
of
topics,
so
mike
brennan-
and
I
are
spending
quite
a
bit
of
time
going
through
that.
So
we
can
bring
back
to
you
a
more
comprehensive
list
of
those
code,
amendments
and
and
their
timing.
R
No,
this
is
we're
working
on
the
22
work
plan
now
and,
most
importantly,
the
timing.
So
there's
a
sequencing
of
things.
We
have
to
do
around
the
major
comprehensive
plan,
update
launching
wilburton
and
a
bunch
of
the
housing
work,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we
slide
in
this
kind
of
thing
as
well,
so
that
all
those
big
initiatives
are
are
off
and
running.
R
B
G
Sure
the
last
item
in
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening
is
the
ratification
of
the
2021
king
county
county-wide
planning
policies
and
the
2021
urban
growth
capacity
report
and
just
by
way
of
background,
the
king
county
council
approved
these
policies
in
december
of
2021,
and
in
order
for
these
policies
to
be
adopted,
they
must
be
ratified
by
at
least
30
percent
of
the
city
and
county
governments.
G
So,
consequently,
tonight
the
staff
is
seeking
direction
to
bring
back
these
policies
for
approve
at
a
future
council
meeting
joining
us
this
evening
are
matt
cummins,
the
director
emile
king
assistant,
director
and
tara
johnson,
comprehensive
planning
manager
all
from
the
community
development
department
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
team.
S
Thanks
for
the
introduction
city,
city
manager,
miyaki
and
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
members
of
council,
tara,
I'm
not
seeing
the
powerpoint
show.
Yet
if
you're
gonna
try
and
reshare
it.
S
Okay,
well
I'll
continue
on
with
some
of
the
the
introductory
remarks,
while
tara
gets
the
powerpoint
loaded
up
so,
staff
from
community
development
are
here
tonight
to
walk
counsel
through
the
highlights
of
the
newly
adopted
king
county
county-wide
planning
policies
and
the
growth
targets.
S
Tonight
we
are
seeking
direction
from
council
to
ratify
the
county-wide
planning
policies.
This
is
an
opportunity
that
cities
in
king
county
have
to
show
their
support
for
the
planning
policies
which
were
adopted
by
the
king
county
council,
as
city
manager
miyaki
mentioned
in
december
of
last
year,
with
council
direction.
We
would
then
return
with
an
ordinance
at
an
upcoming
meeting
to
show
the
support
council
has
for
the
the
planning
policies.
S
I'd
like
to
briefly
provide
a
few
opening
remarks
for
this
item.
It's
really
it's
really
timely
to
be
bringing
this
forward
to
council
tonight.
This
item
shows
the
importance
of
regional
planning
and
the
role
bellevue
plays
as
a
leader
in
regional
policy
development
and
the
establishment
of
the
growth
targets.
S
These
policies
are
very
important
because
they
help
inform
the
city's
comprehensive,
planned
periodic
update.
We
do
every
eight
to
ten
years
that
is
planned
to
be
launched
by
council
later
this
month.
So
I'd
now
like
to
turn
things
over
to
tara
johnson,
our
comprehensive
planning
manager,
comprehensive
planning
manager
to
walk
through
the
presentation
for
you.
T
Thank
you
emil
good
evening,
mia
robinson,
deputy
mayor
neon
house,
council
members
and
first
off
many
apologies
for
my
technical
issues.
Hopefully
we
won't
have
any
more
this
evening,
just
a
little
bit
of
an
just
a
brief
recap
on
what
we're
gonna
be
covering
this
evening.
T
So
just
city
manager,
miyaki
and
emil
gave
you
kind
of
the
context
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
evening,
providing
you
with
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
county-wide
planning
policies
which
a
couple
of
electeds
on
the
council
have
been
very
involved
with
council
member
robertson,
with
her
role
on
gmpc
and
mia
robinson,
with
her
role
on
the
affordable
housing
committee
have
been
very
instrumental
in
moving
these
policies
forward.
We'll
also
provide
an
overview
on
the
growth
target.
T
Setting
process
kind
of
just
big
picture
recap
on
what
the
cpp
overall
changes
are
and
then,
where
we
are
in
the
process
and
how
we
intend
to
move
forward
with
council
council
direction
this
evening.
T
So
the
growth
management
act
requires
that
counties
adopt
county-wide
planning
policies
which,
of
course,
are
required
to
align
with
the
regional
growth
strategy,
which
is,
of
course,
psrc's
vision.
2050
there's
also
some
additional
requirements
to
comply
with
the
growth
management
act,
legislative
changes
as
well
as
recommendations
from
the
affordable
housing
committee
action
plan
and
then
the
county-wide
planning
policies
once
adopted,
do
inform
and
guide
our
periodic
update,
which
is
going
to
be
forthcoming
to
council
fairly
soon
in
the
next
few
weeks.
T
T
It
also
establishes
growth
targets
for
each
jurisdiction,
which
both
county
staff,
as
well
as
staff
from
other
jurisdictions,
as
well
as
their
elected
representatives,
worked
together
over
the
last
couple
of
years
to
negotiate
growth
targets
and
establish
what
each
jurisdiction
share
of
that
county-wide
growth
looks
like
alongside
that
is
the
urban
capacity
report,
which
really
supplements
and
analyzes
how
we
come
up
with
those
growth
targets.
T
In
addition,
the
planning
policies
also
incorporate
criteria
for
both
urban
centers,
which
bellevue
already
has
a
designated
er
regional
urban
growth
center,
which
is
downtown
bellevue.
That's
been
established
for
some
years
now
and
then
one
of
the
big
changes
with
the
with
this
new
update
this
time
around
is
establishing
criteria
for
county-wide
centers,
which
are
smaller
urban
centers
size
than
urban
centers,
and
they
quite
often
incorporate
high
capacity
transit
station
areas
or
neighborhood
centers
that
are
linked
by
transit.
T
So
a
little
bit
of
background
on
growth
targets.
We
went
through
this
process
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
and
I
believe
king
county
staff
came
before
the
council
in
april
of
last
year
and
provided
you
with
a
little
bit
of
a
update
there.
But
essentially
it
sets
the
amount
of
housing
and
jobs
that
each
jurisdiction,
including
bellevue,
is
going
to
plan
for
as
part
of
the
next
periodic
comprehensive
plan
update.
T
It's
also
adopted
as
part
of
the
county-wide
planning
policies
which
got
adopted
by
the
king
county
council
in
december,
and
then
it
covers
a
20-year
period
from
2019
to
2044.
So
that's
the
time
period
that
we're
going
to
be
planning
for
and
then,
as
I
said,
it's
a
very
collaborative
effort
regionally
with
both
cities
and
the
county.
T
A
little
bit
of
an
overview
on
some
bellevue
specific
information.
As
I
said,
downtown
bellevue's
design
has
been
designated
in
urban
growth
center
by
psrc's
vision,
2050
for
some
time
and
then
in
addition,
bellevue
is
one
of
two
metropolitan
job
centers.
So
we
really
do
play
a
very
significant
regional
role
in
the
area
and
with
this
round
of
growth
targets
and
the
cpps,
we
really
worked
hard
towards
achieving
a
more
equitable
jobs,
housing
balance,
which
was
also
a
mandate
from
vision,
2050
and
the
cpps.
T
With
the
last,
with
a
2035
update,
we
had
a
jobs,
housing
balance
of
2.4
to
1.
this
time
around.
We
aimed
to
get
a
2-1
jobs,
housing
balance.
T
You
may
be
familiar
with
some
of
this
data
because
we,
I
think
we
presented
that
to
council
previously
we're
moving
forward
with
an
established
70,
000
jobs,
target
between
2019
and
2044,
and
then
an
accompanying
35
000
housing
units,
as
you
can
see
from
this
chart
that
results
in
we
have
sufficient
capacity
for
our
jobs,
which
is
about
117
000
jobs
but,
as
you'll
know,
there's
about
a
10
000,
closer
10
000
net
differential
in
terms
of
a
housing
units
count.
So
that's
something
substantive
that
we're
going
to
need
to
address.
T
As
part
of
this
comprehensive
plan
update
and
some
of
our
other
accompanying
efforts
that
director
cummins
referenced,
the
wilberton
planning,
as
well
as
the
bell
ring
sub-area
planning.
All
of
those
efforts
will
give
us
the
opportunity
to
really
plan
for
this
growth
in
kind
of
a
sustainable
and
and
and
very
comprehensive
way.
T
Some
of
the
larger
changes
associated
with
the
cpps-
it's
a
500
page
document,
so
I
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
the
kind
of
the
big
bigger
areas
of
change.
As
I
mentioned
before,
we
now
have
county-wide
centers
that
are
part
of
the
cpps
that
weren't
there
before.
T
So
that's
something
we're
planning
for
bellevue
has
submitted,
submitted
and
been
approved,
which
will
need
to
be
planning
for
a
total
of
five
county-wide
centers,
which
are
our
mixed-use
growth
centers
in
in
the
city,
and
so
that's
something
we'll
have
to
incorporate
as
part
of
our
planning
process
for
the
periodic
update.
T
There
are
some
significant
changes
relative
to
the
housing
chapter
of
the
cpps,
which
I'll
just
briefly
talk
about
shortly
and
then
looking
at
both
the
cpps,
as
well
as
our
upcoming
update,
placing
both
an
equity
lens
on
it,
as
well
as
a
climate
change
lens
on
all
the
policy
areas.
T
Then
there's
also
an
emphasis
on
how
we
address
health
and
equity
within
our
comprehensive
plans
and
on
a
county-wide
in
and
in
a
county-wide
way,
and
then
also
looking
at
going
back
and
addressing
historic
discrimination
that
may
have
occurred
in
the
past
relating
to
housing,
something
that
I've
talked
about
previously
in
other
emphasis
areas,
of
course,
the
county-wide
centers
and
then
really
incorporating
social
equity
and
public
health
into
our
various
elements
within
the
chapters
within
the
cpps
and
then.
Lastly,
of
course,
planning
for
growth
targets.
T
So
with
that
a
little
bit
of
a
just
an
overview
on
the
public
process,
you
may
some
of
you
may
recall
the
cpps
went
out
for
public
comment.
Early
last
year,
gmpc
approved
that
approved
the
cpps
in
june.
They
moved
forward
to
king
county
council
in
december
of
last
year
now
we're
at
the
last
step
of
the
process,
which
requires
ratification
by
about
30
of
local
jurisdictions.
T
So
with
that
requesting
counsel
to
provide
direction
to
staff,
to
return
with
legislation
to
ratify
the
2021
cpps
and
also
the
urban
growth
capacity
report.
With
that
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
B
P
Was
trying
to
fix
my
setup
thanks
everyone
and
and
to
emil
and
tara
for
the
overview
yeah
I
wanted
to
just
give.
I
I
think
I've
talked
about
this
once
before,
but
I
wanted
to
give
council
an
overview
and
then
share
my
perspective
on
this.
I
don't
have
any
questions,
but
we
did
have
a
rather
robust
process.
As
you
know,
I
was
through
the
last
12
years
have
been
the
city's
rep
to
gmpc
and
the
city
proposed
for
amen.
P
I
mean
we've
definitely
influenced
the
development
of
the
cpps
and
then,
when
the
draft
came
out,
we
proposed
four
amendments,
all
of
which
went
through.
We
also
did
ask
for
the
higher
growth
numbers,
having
a
two
to
one
housing
to
jobs
which
brings
our
housing
jobs
balance
a
little
bit
closer.
The
cpps
have
a
great
deal
of
focus
on
equity.
They
have
a
great
deal
of
focus
on
housing
more
than
before,
and
I
appreciate
the
mayor's
work
and
her
continued
work
on
the
housing
committee
that
fed
information
into
the
cpps
for
2022.
P
We
did
vote.
I
did
vote
on
behalf
of
the
bellevue
council
to
support
the
gmpc
draft
of
the
cpps,
which
then
was
approved
by
county
council
on
this
here
for
ratification.
So
I
definitely
will
be
supporting
ratification
in
2022.
There
will
be
some
additional
county
policy
work
that
just
didn't
quite
get
finished
up.
P
That
is
the
housing
work
that
mayor
robinson
is
doing
on,
which
will
then
be
fed
to
the
gmpc
which
deputy
mayor
is
the
new
rep
to
gmpc,
and
I
know
he'll
acquit
himself
very
well
and
represent
bellevue
very
well.
P
The
other
thing
is
is
that
spanish
growth
targets
were
really
really
artificially
low
because
they
had
a
moratorium
on
one
of
their
utilities
because
of
one
of
their
utility
issues
that
more
terms
been
lifted,
and
so
the
samamish
growth
numbers
are
going
to
be
reconfigured
increased
and
that
will
be
amended
that
will
brought
forward
for
amendment
this
year.
P
If
the
the
there
was
a
table
up
on
the
slide
that
showed
where
we
are
on
the
jobs
and
how
many
you
know
how
where
we
think
we
are
and
where
we
are
on
the
housing
and
we
as
we're
zoned
today,
are
not
going
to
make
our
housing
target,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
a
really
heavy
lift
in
the
next
few
years,
between
the
comp
plan
update
between
wilbert
and
bell
red,
if
we're
doing
any
missing
middle
outside
the
growth
corridors
or
if
the
state
says
we're
doing
missing
middle.
P
All
of
that's
going
to
need
to
be
cranked
in,
but
we're
going
to
have
to
get
a
little
bit
more
aggressive
on
our
housing
stock
to
make
sure
that
we're
zoning
really
well.
For
that.
So
I
know
that
we
are
up
for
the
task,
but
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out,
because
we
can't
just
do
it
by
going
the
way
we
are.
We
have
to
be
more
aggressive
with
the
zoning,
as
you've
heard
me
as
a
broken
record
on
this
issue.
So
I
guess
that's
all
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
P
If
people
have
any
questions
about
the
process
as
I
went
through
as
the
city's
rep,
but
otherwise
I
would
encourage
us
to
move
this
forward
for
ratification.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
councilmember,
stokes,.
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
remember
councilmember
robertson.
I
think
one
one
year,
I
was
your
alternate
on
the
committee
and
I
know
you've
been
doing
some
really
great
work
on
this,
and
it's
really
good
to
see
this
brought
back
to
what
we're
doing,
and
I
think
what
we've
laid
out
here
is
is
a
lot
of
work.
D
That's
been
going
on
for
years
and
years
and
years,
and
it's
also,
I
think,
a
reflection
of
what's
been
going
on
in
the
in
the
community
and
in
the
the
state
in
the
area
and
in
you
know
just
what
we're
living
through
and
the
good
news
is
we're
responding
to
it.
I
think
very
well
and
appreciate
the
work
you've
done
all
over
this
time
and
it
ties
in
with
the
good
thing
is
it
ties
into
work.
D
We've
been
talking
about,
we've
gone
through
the
last
several
years,
kind
of
some
painful
attempts
to
up
our
game
and
move
things
forward,
and
I
think
they've
been
very
instructive
and
we've
come
through
those
in
pretty
good
way
and
what
you're
I
like.
The
way
you
laid
this
out,
it's
it's
time
for
us
to
move
forward.
In
fact,
we
don't,
I
think
we
should
not
call
it
a
build,
a
bill
red
look
back,
it's
a
bellevue
bell
red
look
forward.
D
We
have
to
go
forward
backwards,
is
not
the
way
to
go,
and
it's
very
encouraging
to
have
us.
D
I
think
all
of
us
looking
at
this
is
we
have
this
tremendous
opportunity
in
front
of
us
now
in
bellevue
and
the
region
to
really
move
forward
and
with
these
plans
and
with
all
the
work
going
into
it
and
everybody
coming
together
in
a
really
resp
kind
of
amazing
way.
D
I
don't,
I
don't
think
the
the
problems
we
have
in
front
of
us
are
going
to
stop
us
and
I
agree
with
you.
We
have
to
up
our
game
in
terms
of
looking
at.
How
do
we
get
more
people
living
in
bellevue
in
a
in
a
very
positive
way,
and
that's
what
people
are
going
to
come
here
and
we
don't
want
to
get
to
a
point
where
people
come
here
and
there's
no
way
place
for
them
to
live
and
the
jobs.
You
know
all
those
things
go
south.
D
So
I
think
what
we're
looking
for
looking
at
now
is
a
really
good
road
map
for
tremendous
progress
and
we'll
look
back
in
10
years
and
say:
wow
bellevue
really
hit
put
the
foot
on
the
pedal
and
a
lot
of
it
goes
to
the
work
that's
been
done
in
our
groups
and
work.
You've
done
others
in
this,
so
I'm
ready
to
vote
for
it.
I
think
it's
great.
Let's
move
forward.
B
I,
like
your
look
forward
of
bill
red
creek.
I
agree
with
you
on
that
council
members
on.
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
gone
into
this
and
I
support
the
ratification
as
well.
My
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
about
us
getting
a
lot
more
aggressive
about
housing.
I
was
also
looking
at
that
table
about
the
adopted
growth
targets
and,
seeing
that
make
sure
I'm
reading
this
correctly.
The
place
where
it
says
capacity
is
what
we
are
currently
projecting.
F
F
and
capacity
target
for
jobs
is
70,
but
the
capacity
is
117
000..
So
if
we're
actually
going
to
get
more
jobs,
then
we're
even
going
to
be
farther
behind
in
housing.
Is
that
correct
and
then
my
second
question
is
when
I
look
at
the
table
in
the
report
that
looks
like
it
identifies
affordable
housing
needs
by
ami.
F
S
The
members
on
I'll
go
ahead
and
answer
the
first
question
and
then
hand
it
over
to
tara
for
the
second
one
about
the
affordable
housing
process
that
we
have.
The
the
slide
that
you
referred
to.
You
should
read
the
35
000
housing
units
and
the
70
000
jobs
as
our
targets
that
we'll
be
planning
for,
and
that
was
the
county
process
to
identify
those
targets.
The
line
item
that
said
capacity
was
a
effort
of
all
cities
to
go
through
their
existing
zoning
capacity
to
accommodate
either
housing
units
or
jobs.
S
So
the
way
to
read
that
is
our
target
for
jobs
is
70
000,
but
we
already
have
zone
capacity
to
accommodate
over
a
hundred
thousand
and
from
a
housing
standpoint.
As
councilmember
robertson
pointed
out,
our
target
of
35
000
housing
units
is
roughly
10,
000,
more
or
so
than
our
capacity
right
now.
So
that's
why
we
need
to
take
efforts
in
the
next
plan
update
bill
red,
look
forward,
wilburton
to
get
more
housing
opportunities
in
the
city
and
no
sorry,
sorry,
council,
members
on.
F
No,
it's
all
right!
Thank
you
for
that,
but
I'm
just
making
sure
I'm
clear
what
you're
saying
on
the
jobs,
though,
is
that,
based
on
current
zoning,
we
potentially
have
almost
50
000,
more
jobs
that
could
come
to
bellevue,
which
then,
if
we're
looking
at
the
two
to
one
balance,
means
that
we're
even
farther
behind
with
housing.
S
And
tara,
if
you
want
to
go
into
a
little
bit
of
detail
about
the
the
process
to
establish
housing
targets
as
well.
T
Certainly,
thank
you
for
that
question.
Council
members
on,
I
think
council
member,
claudia
balducci,
spoke
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
upcoming
work
that
the
affordable
housing
committee
and
the
growth
management
planning,
council
and
council
member
robertson
referenced
that
as
well.
That
there
were,
you
know,
changes
that
were
going
to
be
forwarded
to
build
the
affordable
housing
committee
and
gmtc
this
year.
T
In
addition,
commerce
is
also
under
household
1220
is
also
undertaking
some
of
that
work
and
is
going
to
be
assisting
jurisdictions
with
that.
The
timing
of
that
is
a
little
inconsistent
in
terms
of
the
commerce
work
is
going
to
be
completed
by
the
end
of
the
year.
So
that's
something
that
both
staff
staff
are
just
monitoring
and
trying
to
see
what
the
best
way
to
incorporate
all
of
that
work
into
our
overall
update
and
what
that
looks
like.
F
Okay,
so
maybe
then
I
think
mayor,
you
might
have
brought
this
up
already
in
the
past
about
the
fact
that
our
affordable
housing
strategic
plan
is,
is
now
five
years
old
and
that
maybe
those
numbers
in
there
need
to
be
updated
for
getting
a
lot
more
aggressive
to
meet
these
goals
that
we
have
committed
to.
As
part
of
this
plan
that
we're
going
to
be
ratifying.
Thank
you.
B
Yeah-
and
that
is
exactly
what
that
was
going
to
be.
My
point
tonight
is
just
you
know,
to
put
this
all
into
context.
If
we
take
these
original
goals
of
the
two
to
one
jobs
to
housing,
and
if
you
accept
what
the
housing
development
consortium
recommendation
is
for,
bellevue
that
we
be
creating
a
thousand
affordable
housing
units
a
year.
B
That
means
that
by
2044
we
would
have
had
to
create
25
000,
affordable
housing
units
which
would
be
71
of
our
planned
housing
units
that
is
aggressive
and
our
little
pithy
goal
that
we
set.
You
know
when,
when
we
really,
it
seemed
like
a
stretch
at
the
time
that
we
said
it,
but
it
is
so
woefully
low.
B
I
really
look
forward
to
bringing
it
back
and
re-examining
what
a
a
realistic
goal
for
affordable
housing
looks
like
for
our
city,
but
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
gone
into
this
and
I
will
be
supporting
it
any
any
other
comments
or
questions.
C
Thank
you
number
one.
I
really
want
to
thank
our
representatives
serving
on
this
committee
because
it's
very
challenging
you're
working
with
a
lot
of
jurisdictions
that
may
have
influence
and
may
have
ultimate
say
about
what
these
goals
has
established.
C
I
assume
that
these
goals
are
established
based
on
our
representatives,
input
right,
your
help
and
deliberation
as
to
what
we
can
do
realistically,
what
we
want
to
do
realistically
and
what
we
should
do
I
mean
all
these:
are
you
know
part
of
the
considerations,
so
I'm
I'm
just
curious
about
you
know
the
card
and
the
horse.
You
know
which
one
come.
C
First,
I
assume
that
when
the
goals
are
developed,
we
you
know,
know
what
we
can
do
and
what
we
as
a
city
as
a
jurisdiction
realistically
having
our
own
plan
we're
working
toward
achieving
those
targets.
C
So
I
I
I
feel.
If
we
do
that,
then
we
won't
be
surprised.
We
should
always
have
the
right
number
if
we
know
the
employee
employment,
if
we
agree
70
000
new
jobs.
That
is
realistic.
We
want
it.
Then
we
need
to
be
planning
for
how
many
housing
way
back
when
so
we
could
be
doing
all
the
things
that
we're
doing
that
without
being
surprised,
wow
gee.
Maybe
we
don't.
We
can't
do
those
things.
C
We
better
do
something
and
we
we
may
be
trying
to
catch
up,
and
I
don't
know
whether
that's
the
case,
I'm
not
that
you
know
familiar
with
it,
but
I
know
that
you
guys
have
hard
jobs.
The
representatives
trying
to
put
all
these
together
and
talk
to
other
our
other
counterparts
and
negotiate
come
up
with
a
reasonable.
You
know
numbers,
so
I
I
would
like
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
this
from
jennifer
robinson
said
that
you
know
we
have
a
real
job
to
do
to
catch
up.
C
So
you
know
if
we
think
we
have
a
hard
time.
We
cannot
do
that.
Then
we
need
to
include
that
as
part
of
our
negotiation
to
come
up
with
the
numbers
with
the
targets
right
well,
at
least
you
know,
and
if
we
can,
you
know
when
we
negotiate,
I
would
imagine
we
already
are
thinking
about
what's
our
capacity
and
how
we
should
be
already
preparing
for
that.
So
maybe,
generally
you
can
say
a
couple
words
just
to
give
me
a
context.
C
How
do
we
arrive
at
these
goals
with
with
certainty
that
we're
already
doing
it
with
the
policy
in
mind,
or
they
just
tell
us,
and
we
had
a
hurry
hurry
hurry,
do
something
we
we
may
not
be
able
to
do
well,
you
know
so,
which
one
come
first.
P
Here,
can
I
respond?
Yes,
okay,
so
that's
a
great
question:
it
was
it's
well,
as
you
know
it's
based
on.
You
know
how
what
did
we
think
the
county
growth
is
going
to
be
it's
about
how
we
think
the
cities
are
going
to
grow
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
all
comes
down
to
a
negotiation.
P
So
the
initial
targets
were
set
at
27,
000
housing
units
and
a
mill
correct
me
if
I
am
off
on
this
with
60
no
54
000
jobs.
So
we
had.
We
wanted
to
have
a
better
housing
jobs
balance.
So
the
two
to
one
was
fine.
A
lot
of
cities
aren't
doing
that
much.
P
A
lot
of
cities
are
doing
far
fewer
housing
to
jobs,
but
at
any
rate
we
wanted
the
two
to
one,
and
so
that
was
the
initial
targets
and
as
the
representative
I
talked
with
staff
and
we
said
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
blow
through
that
jobs
target,
probably
in
the
next
five
years.
P
So
we
really
think
that
we
should
get
more
aggressive,
which
means
we
should
get
more
aggressive
with
the
housing.
So
we
did
ask
for
and
negotiate
the
more
aggressive
targets
and
those
those
were
done
by
taking.
P
I
think
they
were
done
by
taking
allocations
that
were
unallocated
if
you
will
just
numbers
that
were
going
to
just
kind
of
be
floating
out
there
in
the
not
necessarily
assigned
to
any
city
and
those
were
assigned
then
to
bellevue
to
seattle,
etc,
and
we
asked
for
that
and
because
we
wanted
to
get
more
aggressive
and
that's
why.
P
In
my
opening
remarks,
I
said
we
have
to
really
up
our
game
in
when
we
rezone
in
wilberton
bell,
red
and
elsewhere
to
because
these
housing
targets
are
going
to
be
a
heavy
lift
and
it
is
going
to
be
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
housing
targets,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
what
we
can.
And
I
know
I've
been
a
broken
record
about
this,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
additional
capacity
built
into
our
zoning.
And
so
yes,
I
support
the
targets.
P
Yes,
they
were
part
of
a
negotiation.
Bellevue
did
was
absolutely
at
the
table
for
that
and
yes,
we
know
it's
a
heavy
lift,
but
I
think
it's
fair
because
we're
going
to
see
more
jobs,
we
should
at
least
try
to
have
at
least
you
know
two
to
one
balance,
understanding
that
we
have
about
2.4
people
per
housing
unit.
P
So
in
theory,
if
we,
if
every
one
of
those
housing
units
has
2.4
people
well,
you
know
you
don't
have
a
fourth
of
a
person,
but
on
average
across
them,
then
we
will
have
the
same
number
of
jobs
and
housing
for
the
people
that
could
fill
those
jobs.
So
you
know,
but
we're
gonna
have
to
get
more
aggressive
on
the
housing
and
if
we
end
up
seeing
more
jobs
as
it
develops,
you
know,
then
we
could
then
we'll
need
to
probably
be
even
more
aggressive
on
the
housing,
but
right
now.
C
Yeah,
okay,
can
I
finish
up.
I
appreciate
that
perspective.
I
just
was
hoping
or
thinking.
Maybe
I
missed
it.
You
know
if
we,
the
council,
do
we
kind
of
be
all
were
we
on
on
the
on
the
in
the
know
when
we
are
deliberating
this
kind
of
negotiation
so
that
when
we
approach
our
housing
development,
we
know
that
this
is
what
we
want
and
we
have
a
target
to
go,
for
it
will
be
easier
for
us
to
have
the
complete
reason
and
rationale
that
we
want
to
be
this
aggressive.
C
P
B
The
explanation
extra
explanation
tonight,
thank
you,
for
that,
is
there
a
not
seeing
any
more
comments
or
questions?
Is
there
a
motion.
E
B
D
We
could
vote,
and
I
I
I
I
just
wanted
to
say-
and
back
up
what
councilman
robertson
is
saying
when
we
five
what
17
16
when
we
came
up
with
our
council
member
lee
with
the
numbers
in
the
past,
we
we
were
making
a
stretch
that
times
a
different
time
period
and
we
were
things
have
changed
so
much
dramatically
here,
so
that
was
and-
and
we
kind
of
knew,
that
that
was
not
really
what
we
need
to
go
for,
but
it
was
more
than
we
had
ever
gotten
before.
D
So
it's
a
progress
on
this
and
it's
come
to
council
and
then,
as
we've
gone
through,
I
I
can
remember
several
times
when
these
things
have
come
up.
We
have
acknowledged
that
we
that
were
more
people
coming
in
and
when,
when
amazon
and
others
started,
having
people
coming
in
here
and
the
growth
has
hit
us
so
much.
D
It's
all
been
a
a
process,
and
this
is
very
logical
and
what
it's
exciting
about
is
we're
not
just
saying
well.
Is
this
something
we
can
absolutely
achieve?
We're
not
we're
not
we're
setting
goals
that
are
really
they're,
they're
hopeful,
and
if
we
don't
do
it
with
hope,
then
we
just
get
stuck
and
we
we're
we're
in
a
good
path,
and
I
I
really
think
your
your
questions
are
good
and
I
think
they've
been
answered
in
the
sense
that
this
has
been
discussed
and
what
what
councilman
robertson
is
talking
about.
D
What
we
have
proposed
is
really,
I
think
it
may
turn
out
to
be.
We
say:
well,
we
kind
of
had
to
hit
it
on
the
nail
and
are
actually
we're
going
to
need
more.
D
B
So
it
is
8
50.,
we'll
take
a
10
minute
break
and
come
back
at
9
00.
B
G
Er
sure
mayor,
given
the
this
the
quasi-judicial
nature
of
this
particular
matter,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
kathy
carla
to
introduce
the
item
kathy.
She
here.
M
I
am
thank
you,
mr
miyaki
good
evening
council.
So
the
item
before
you
tonight
is
consideration
of
the
glendale
country
club
rezone
application,
in
which
the
applicant
seeks
a
rezone
of
a
3.35
acre
portion
of
the
glendale
country
club
and
rezoning.
It
seeks
to
rezone
it
from
single-family
residential
r1
to
multi-family
residential
are
10.,
and
the
rezone
is
intended
to
be
consistent
with
the
previous
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
that
was
approved
by
the
council
and
by
the
ebcc,
and
this
is
a
process
three
quasi-judicial
matter.
M
The
hearing
examiner
recommends
approval
and
with
one
condition
and
no
appeal
was
filed
of
that
recommendation.
So
at
the
january
18
meeting
of
the
council,
riley
pittman
from
development
services,
gave
a
staff
report
on
this
rezone
application,
and
the
matter
is
now
before
you
for
final
action
on
on
an
ordinance
and
on
the
application.
B
Anybody
have
any
ex
parte
communications
to
disclose.
If
you
do,
please
raise
your
hand,
I'm
not
seeing
any.
So
I
don't
think
that's
an
issue
for
us.
This
has
come
to
us
before,
and
so
this
should
be
quite
simple.
Is
there
any
more
presentation
here
kathy?
No,
I'm
I'm
turning
the
floor
to
you
all
right.
So
it's
a
final
action.
Are
there
any
other
comments
or
questions
on
this?
E
B
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
terrific!
Well!
That
concludes
the
public
portion
of
our
meeting.
We
are
going
to
recess
into
executive
session
for
about
30
minutes
now
for
20
minutes,
hopefully,
and
discuss
a
matter
of
pursuant
to
our
cw
42.30.110.
B
L,
I
and
the
meeting
will
be
adjourned
from
the
executive
session
council
members.
You
will
exit
this
meeting
and
then
you
will
look
at
your
most
recent
link
that
you
received
from
charmaine
the
clerk
and
rejoin
an
executive
session
right
now
no
break.
Thank
you.
