And
whereas
walking
or
rolling
as
modes
of
transportation
can
relieve
traffic
congestion
and
offer
environmental
benefits.
And
whereas
this
year's
rock
and
roll
event
is
coordinated
by
the
Bellevue
School
pool
a
collaboration
between
Bellevue
King,
County
Metro
and
the
Bellevue
School
District
to
encourage
families
and
students
to
explore
sustainable
Transportation
options.
E
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
October,
4th
2023
as
Bellevue
School
pool
Walk
and
Roll
to
school
day
and
encourage
everyone
to
consider
the
safety
and
health
of
children
traveling
to
and
from
school.
Today
and
every
day,
thanks.
F
Thank
you,
mayor,
Robinson
and
Council.
It
is
my
honor
to
received
this
Proclamation
on
behalf
of
Dr
Kelly
aramaki
and
Don
Dixon,
our
director
of
transportation
and
I
can't
underscore
the
importance
of
the
walk
to
school
day
and
it's
a
bit
serendipitous
for
me
because
as
a
PTA
parent
at
Ardmore,
I
actually
helped
coordinate
this
day.
So
it's
a
lot
of
fun
to
see.
Parents
and
families
partake
and
participate
with
other
school
districts
and
organizations
across
the
country.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
and
and
the
proclamation.

Good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
neon
house
and
council
members
tonight,
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
the
updates
to
the
wireless
communication
facilities
code
amendments
on
behalf
of
the
Bellevue
Chamber
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
I've
staffed
meetings
between
leaders
in
the
Telecom
industry
and
the
City
of
Bellevue.
These
meetings
progressed
and
ultimately
turned
into
a
collaborative
partnership
between
the
public
and
private
sectors.
These
policies,
before
you
today
are
a
direct
result
of
these
efforts,
while
the
current
form
is
a
number
of
edits
away
from
its
original
version.
G
I
find
that
the
process
that
got
us
to
this
point
was
the
real
success.
City
staff
was
intentional
about
seeking
input
and
making
policy
adjustments
so
that
the
regulatory
framework
did
not
stifle
needed
technological
advancement.
It
resulted
in
codes
that
industry
could
work
with
while
meeting
the
needs
of
the
city
from
the
chambers
perspective.
This
is
a
prime
example
of
how
the
business
community
and
government
should
interact
to
bring
about
a
positive
regulatory
environment
for
all
players.
G
I
want
to
specifically
thank
Andrew
singalakis
Mark
Poe,
Nick,
Whipple
and
Matthew
Menard
for
always
returning
my
emails
and
calls
on
all
of
these
matters.
They
put
in
the
extra
time
and
effort
consistently
to
patiently
answer
my
questions
and
ensure
a
good
policy
was
ultimately
implemented.
I
would
urge
the
council
to
support
the
passing
of
these
policies.
Thank
you
for
your
attention
to
such
matters
that
will
help
Bellevue
to
remain
competitive,
inclusive
and
technologically
advanced.
Thank
you.
C
H
Excellent,
my
name
is
Greg
Bush
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
ATT
tonight
by
companies,
Bush
law,
firm
and
I'm
representative
TNT
for
the
council
code
updates
to
wireless
facilities
in
the
city
of
Bellevue,
and
our
offices
are
in
Issaquah
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
Carl
Gibson,
president
of
ATT,
external
Affairs,
in
Washington
and
Oregon,
has
already
submitted
a
letter
earlier
today
in
support
of
the
proposed
code,
update
and
I'd
like
to
add.
H
We
appreciate
a
high
level
professionalism
shown
by
the
staff
and
everyone
at
the
city
of
Bellevue.
The
code
before
each
night
has
been
through
several
rounds
of
detailed
review,
as
mentioned
by
the
chamber,
and
staff
has
listened
to
our
comments
throughout.
We
at
ATT
support
adopting
the
code
AS
drafted.
Thank
you
for
again
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
the
opportunity
to
keep
providing
services
in
the
city
of
helping.
I
Mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
Newman
has
esteemed
Council
esteemed
City
staff,
a
city
manager
Miyaki,
my
name
is
asmina
Hashem
and
I
am
with
Verizon
state
government
affairs.
I
am
also
chair
of
the
Bellevue
Chambers
5G
small
small
Wireless
facility
work
group.
I
want
to
express
our
work
group's
support
for
the
proposed
amendments.
I
First
18
months
were
challenging,
but
eventually
we
established
a
collaborative
working
relationship
as
all
the
stakeholders
developed
a
deeper
understanding
of
the
technology
and
the
city's
requirements.
The
updated
Swift
code
is
a
reflection
of
the
joint
effort
between
the
city
and
the
industry,
and
two
weeks
ago
we
also
jointly
celebrated
with
a
ribbon-cutting
ceremony.
The
first
5G
small
Wireless
facility
deployed
in
Bellevue
5G,
is
deployed
on
both
cell
towers
and
utility
or
light
poles.
I
I
I
We
are
also
grateful
for
the
to
the
Bellevue
Chamber
for
providing
collaboration
space
and
for
tirelessly
promoting
joint
success
for
the
industry
in
the
city.
And
finally,
we
are
grateful
for
the
time
the
staff
has
spent
with
us
to
understand
the
technology,
the
requirements
in
Bellevue
and
while
it
took
us
a
while
to
get
here
in
the
end,
I
commend
the
leadership
displayed
all
around,
including
the
willingness
to
learn,
collaborate
and
lead
in
this
wonderful
City.
We
do
support
the
amendments
to
to
the
to
both
the
codes.
Thank
you.
C
J
Hi,
my
name
is:
there
are
six
years
and
an
eight-year-old
I
want
to
talk
about
the
proclamation
that
was
announced
today
for
the
walk
to
school
I'm,
leaving
a
close
to
Spirit,
Ridge
Elementary,
which
is
0.2
miles
away,
and
me
and
my
kids
are
not
feeling
safe
to
walk
to
school,
lack
of
lack
of
Cycles,
lack
of
the
school
school
area,
speed,
lounge
and
I
erased
my
concerns
with
the
city
almost
like
a
month
ago.
J
There
was
no
progress
on
the
issue
and
I
I
came
here
today
that
I
think
that
the
proclamation
is
a
great
idea
and
one
day
here,
we
can
probably
provide,
with
the
support
of
the
police
force
safely,
to
walk
to
South
School
and
a
lot
of
parents.
Volunteering
I
think
it's
a
great
intention,
but
I
encourage
the
council
members
what
to
kind
of
deeply
analyze.
Why
why
this
is
not
happening
every
day
and
I
also
would
like
to
ask
what
are
the
metrics
that
we
are
measuring
the
success
of
this
event?
J
And
what
are
we
improving
from
this
year
compared
past
year,
the
year
before
I'm
I'm
personally,
like
living
in
this
area?
For
a
long
time
and
I
don't
see
improvements
on
the
safety,
then
the
event
comes
to
work
into
schools.
J
There
are
no
improvements
in
the
area
that
I
can
observe,
I've
been
living
in
different
parts
of
that
we
like
about
the
sidewalls
or
or
safety
of
the
drivers
and
and
any
of
that
and
and
I
think
that,
while
we
are
doing
this
kind
of
great
events,
we
can
also
think
about
a
little
bit,
how
we
are
improving,
welcome
to
school
and
and
how
we
are
measuring
on
an
ongoing
basis,
how
the
parents
are
feeling
about
making
kids
to
walk
and
bike
to
school
and
with
the
lack
of
all
these
analysis
and
in-depth
thinking.
C
L
Thank
you
so
much
work
and
it's
a
great
honor
to
address
the
building
city
council
again
I
rise
tonight
in
regard
to
a
public
display
commission
case
in
the
hope
that
you
will
intervene
in
that
matter.
I
will
give
you
the
number
in
a
second
but
I
want
to
start
by
saying.
I
want
to
thank
this
mayor
for
the
way
you've
administrated
the
meetings
lately,
I
I,
don't
I
testified
every
meeting.
L
I,
don't
think
it's
good
public
comment
practice
to
testify
every
meeting,
but
I
think
because
I
think
when
you
testify,
you
should
be
able
to
bring
this
role
into
the
community
and
situations
and
in
the
case
of
136
406
I've
emailed
some
of
you
about
this
activity
with
something
that's
probably
common
about
this
case.
136406.
L
Has
not
paid
his
public
disclosure
commission
finds
in
the
past
two
years
and
I,
don't
think
I'm
at
Liberty
to
say
his
name,
because
he's
also
a
candidate
for
office
this
time.
So
what
I'm
going
to
say
is
like,
after
the
city,
council
and
the
mayor
and
the
City
attorney
review
public
disclosure
case
136-406.,
you
can
Google
that
and
conserve
sending
a
comment:
the
public
disclosure
permission
before
9
30
a.m.
L
Thursday
this
individual
has
treated
you
with
a
lot
of
disrespect
that
I
find
abominable
and
the
way
your
mayor
has
stepped
up
to
handle.
This
is
nothing
short
of
in
my
biased
opinion
and
I
could
be
wrong.
Ukrainian,
Noble,
strong,
courageous,
the
right
stuff
and
I
will
stop
there.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening
and
again
the
PVC
case
number
is
136
406..
Thank
you.
M
M
Good
evening
to
the
city
council,
this
is
the
individual
who's
been
complaining
about
the
lack
of
accountability
in
the
Bellevue
Police
Department.
Today's
example,
I
shall
mention
a
case
that
happened
last
year
in
from
May
to
July
of
2022
designated
crisis
responders.
They
are
part
of
the
health
system.
Dshs
Melinda,
Hasegawa
and
Brenda
break
committed
a
series
of
violations
of
the
provisions
of
the
ITA.
In
order
to
get
me
psyched
theatrically
evaluated
in
early
July,
they
showed
up
one
day
outside
my.
A
M
Excuse
me
my
voice
is
getting
a
little
like
trembly,
but
never
mind
so
subsequently,
of
course,
I
did
not
open
the
door,
because,
if
I
had
the
police
would
have
grabbed
me,
bad
things
would
have
happened,
but
they
did
so
the
very
next
day
the
dcrs
got
a
petition
through
the
MHC
and
God
of
Warren.
For
my
arrest
to
have
me
evaluated
involuntarily,
never
mind
eventually,
I
was
then.
This
year,
I
filed
a
criminal
complaint
against
the
two
dcrs
mentioning
every
provision
of
the
ITA
they
had
violated.
M
This
was
filed
Away
by
two
police
officers
in
the
Bellevue
Police
Department,
Officer
kid
and
Baptist,
as
informational
inactive.
With
a
brief
comment
to
the
effect
that
complainant
was
mad
about
all
the
things
that
happened
to
him.
Yes,
the
complainant
was
mad.
It
made
no
mention
of
any
investigations
of
the
violations
of
the
ITA
committed
by
the
dcrs.
M
So
I
filed
a
complaint
against
kid
and
eventually
I
get
the
usual
response
which
says
all
the
actions
of
the
officers
were
within
Department
policy.
They
were
lawful
under
the
laws
of
Washington
State.
They
were
not
there's
no
mention
of
my
original
complaint
against
the
DCR
that
has
been
buried
away.
It's
been
filed
away.
Are
you
concerned
about
that?
Yes,
I?
Am
that
was
my
original
complaint.
What
happened
to
it?
It's
been
filed
away,
don't
worry
and
I
think
I
shall
stop
there.
N
N
N
Not
allowing
the
other
side
of
an
argument
to
be
made
is
like
having
a
criminal
trial
with
only
an
attorney
for
the
prosecution,
not
the
defense,
which
is
what
is
happening
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
right
now,
with
climate
change,
I'm
very
well,
very
well
versed
in
the
document.
I
left
with
you,
I
was
a
structural
engineer
for
the
aircraft
industry
for
38
years.
I
know
how
to
look
at
data
and
analyze.
It.
N
I
may
not
be
a
quote-unquote
climate
change
scientist,
but
the
data
you
don't
have
to
be
a
scientist
to
look
at
the
data
and
understand
it
and
analyze.
It
I
spent
a
long
time
putting
this
document
together.
Please
don't
write
me
off
as
a
denier.
Take
five
minutes,
ten
minutes
and
after
that,
if
you
want
to
take
more
look
more,
but
it's
well
put
together
and
there's
a
very
good
argument
for
CO2,
not
causing
runaway
global
warming.
Thank
you.
O
For
35
years,
yeah
I
won't
speak
right
now,
a
new
decision.
What
is
make
this
Council?
What
via
calls
them
a
Nazi?
They
make
no
new
restriction
of
freedom
of
speech.
So
citizen
cannot
speak
about
problem.
What
does
we
have
in
Bellevue?
We
can
speak
only
about
problem.
What
is
they
want?
This
restriction
number
6752
I
speak
right
now
to
everybody
another
cut
of
freedom
of
speech,
another
hate
America
in
American
citizen
look.
Who
here
is
exactly
what
is
we
have
for
many
years
and
nothing
changed
you
all
identical
in
you.
O
People
will
become
probably
in
this
chamber
today
tomorrow
next
year.
Next,
five
years
will
be
exactly
the
same
because
hundred
fifty
thousand
idiots
who
live
in
the
city.
Very
quiet
scared.
This
exactly
happened,
I
call
them
a
slave
or
happy
cow.
That's
exactly
what's
happened
right
now,
a
little
bit
about
my
experience.
Right
now
for
last
couple
months.
They
closed
door,
many
Bellevue
businesses,
Chamber
of
Commerce,
for
example,
yeah
close
doors
I,
cannot
present
and
meet
Indian
Forum.
It's
very
interesting
I.
O
Try
to
understand
why
it's
going
on
I
speak
honestly
or
maybe
a
little
bit
old,
stupid
man,
but
ever
since
what
is
I
speak
is
honest.
It's
a
fact
so
why
they
scared
invite
me
you
Club
close
door
when
I
won't
come
yeah
I,
don't
understand
why
it's
going
on
guys,
why
everybody
give
me
so
many
trespasses
for
what?
What
is
I
talk
wrong
right
now,
everything!
What
is
I
talk
right
now
is
a
book.
You
can
find
this
black
and
white
in
every
places.
You
understand
about
a
token
guys.
O
I
speak
right
now
to
everybody
who
listen
to
me
before
we
not
clean
this
dirty
Chamber
from
this
banjita
who
make
us
life
miserable.
Nothing
will
be
changed.
Believe
me
first
time,
I
speak
in
Bellevue
in
1996
1996
and
for
30
years.
Nothing
changed.
We
always
they
always
not
care
about
people.
Do
you
care
about
who
are
you
do
not
care
about
small
big
left
light
black
white
color?
They
not
care
about
this.
They
call
only
personal
personal
interest.
O

Q
It's
estimated
that
over
48
000
visitors
individuals
visited
our
Beach
Parks
this
summer
during
lifeguarded
hours.
Up
from
thirty
four
thousand
in
2022.,
there
were
5300
preventative
actions.
That's
when
a
lifeguard
enforces
a
water
safety
rule
or
prevents
unsafe
Behavior.
Well,
that
number
sounds
High.
There
were
only
10
rescues
and
zero
fatal

Q
Our
dedicated
and
passionate
staff
assembled
a
diverse
Suite
of
250
half

full
day
camps.
Some
with
extended
care
were
offered
at
the
community
centers
and
Parks
throughout
the
city
for
10
weeks.
This
Summer
that
met
the
diverse
needs,
interests
and
ages
of
our
youth.
A
few
of
the
enrichment

Q
Several
small
to
very
large
city-sponsored
events
and
community
events
produced
by
outside
cultural
organizations
were
held
this
summer
at
various
park
locations
throughout
the
city,
including
Robinswood,
Park,
Bellevue,
Botanical,
Garden,
Crossroads
and
downtown
parks.
The
numbers
listed
on
the
slide
represent
estimated
attendance,
as
noted.
Several
cultural
events
happen
this
summer
in
its
second
year.
The

ensure
successful
outcomes.
P
We
hope
you
had
the
opportunity
to
spend
time
in
bellevue's
Parks
this
summer,
whether
walking
on
Trails
swimming
at
one
of
our
Beach
Parks
having
a
family
picnic
or
attending
a
special
event.
The
city's
Parks
beaches,
Trails
community
centers
and
amenities
continue
to
be
popular
and
contribute
to
Bellevue
being
a
great
place
where
people
want
to
be
fall,
has
arrived
and
staff
are
preparing
for
the
Kelsey

A.M
to

P.M.
P
B
D
B
K
So
yes,
mayor,
council
member,
is
the
the
first
topic
relates
to
updating
cities,
regulations
and
codes
relative
to
the
spa
Wireless
facilities
in
Bellevue.
Just
by
way
of
background.
This
is
phase
three
of
the
city's
Wireless
related
amendments,
the
first
two
phases
enacted
in
clarified
regulations
for
small
Wireless
facilities
in
the
public
right-of-way
and
were
adopted
by
Council
in
2019..
K
The
first
is
enter
a
finding
of
necessity
for
the
city
to
process
the
land
use
code
Amendment,
as
well
as
direct
the
staff
to
schedule
a
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
wireless
land
use
code,
Amendment
and
second
direct
staff
to
prepare
the
Wireless
Bellevue
city
code,
Amendment
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting
so
joining
us
this
evening
is
listed.
Our
land
use
director
to
her
right
is
Caleb
Miller
Senior
planner,
both
from
the
development
services
department
and
Mark
Poe
to
Caleb
Wright,
who
is
assistant
director
in
the
transportation
department.
R
Thank
you,
city
manager
and
good
evening,
Council
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy
Mayor
new
in
house.
We
are
here
tonight
to
talk
about
all
things
Wireless
and
it's
Unique
in
that
we
are
going
to
be
covering
projects
that
are
not
only
a
private
property
but
would
also
be
in
the
right-of-way.
So
this
is
the
third
phase
of
a
suite
of
amendments
that
started
back
in
2019..
We're
really
excited,
especially
about
the
land
use
code
amendments
because
it's
the
first
time
we've
amended
that
code
since
2003.
R
S
All
right,
thank
you,
Liz,
so
the
direction
we'll
be
seeking
from
Council
tonight
are
comes
in
two
parts:
first,
to
enter
our
finding
of
necessity
for
Council
to
process
the
Luca
and
then
direct
staff
to
schedule.
The
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
Wireless
Luca
and
the
second
part
would
be
to
prepare
the
Wireless
Bellevue
city
code,
Amendment
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting
and
we'll
get
into
why
that's
separated
out
in
a
bit
in
terms
of
the
agenda.
S
Then
we'll
discuss
the
FCC
orders
that
have
come
into
play
over
the
last
decade
or
so
that
significantly
impact
how
we
regulate
Wireless
facilities,
as
well
as
an
overview
of
our
objectives
for
both
the
Luca
and
bcca
part.
One
of
the
proposed
changes
will
be
Mark
here
to
discuss
the
small
Wireless
facilities,
Bellevue
city
code,
Amendment
and
then
part
two
we'll
go
over
the
wireless
communication
facilities,
land
use,
code,
Amendment
and
then
we'll
get
into
the
review
process
at
the
end
of
it.
S
S
The
these
first
two
phases
covered
small
Wireless
facilities
in
the
right-of-way
specifically
and
did
not
address
the
land
use
code
which
covers
facilities
on
private
property.
Those
regulations
were
first
adopted
in
2003
and
very
few.
A
few
updates
have
been
made
since
then,
but
they
have
been
very
minor
in
nature.
No
substantial
changes
have
been
done
since
2003..
S
In
that
time
there
have
also
been
extreme
changes
on
the
wireless
facility
landscape,
both
with
new
technologies
as
well
as
increased
demand,
as
we
all
have
smartphones
in
our
pockets
nowadays
and
then
there
have
also
been
limitations
on
local
Authority
passed
down
from
the
Federal
Communications
Commission.
S
S
Additionally,
they
laid
out
a
process
to
review
modific
requests
for
modifications
to
existing
wcfs.
This
is
called
an
eligible
facilities
request
in
order
to
qualify
for
ineligible
facilities
request.
They
cannot
result
in
what
they
call
a
substantial
change
and
there
are
certain
dimensional
standards
that
qualify
as
a
substantial
change.
If
these
requests
do
not
result
in
this
substantial
change,
then
the
city
must
approve
them
with
within
60
days
of
submission
of
an
application,
provided
all
the
criteria
are
met.
S
S
These
they
will
also
adjust
and
streamline
the
permitting
process,
both
in
response
to
FCC
orders,
as
well
as
what
we've
heard
from
Wireless
carriers
and
our
Outreach
and
then,
of
course,
to
align
with
the
FCC
orders
for
eligible
facilities,
requests
and
those
shot
clocks
that
we
discussed
and
with
that
I
will
pass
it
over
to
mark.
T
All
right,
I
first
want
to
start
by
covering
what
is
a
small
Wireless
facility
and
it's
a
wireless
communication
facility
with
smaller
radios
and
antennas
than
the
traditional
cell
tower
because
of
its
smaller
size.
It
can
be
installed
on
a
city
street,
light
pole,
a
PSE
wood
utility
pole
or
even
on
private
property,
and
they
I.
T
They
add
Wireless
capacity
and
high
traffic
areas,
and
they
complement
cell
towers,
they're,
really
not
meant
to
replace
them,
but
add
capacity
and
resiliency
to
networks,
especially
in
dense
areas
like
the
Bellevue
downtown
they're,
an
important
Wireless
connectivity
strategy
not
only
for
the
carriers,
but
also
for
the
cities,
as
we
want
to
be
a
connected,
City
and
Advance,
our
Bellevue
Smart
City
plan.
One
of
the
elements
of
our
Smart
City
plan
is
connectivity.
We
accomplish
that
through
consumer
services,
by
partnering,
with
the
carriers
and
also
by
pursuing
Partnerships.
T
All
right,
small
Wireless
facilities
in
the
public,
Street
right-of-way
is
regulated
by
the
Bellevue
city
code,
specifically
chapter
6.08
in
the
Telecommunications
title,
this
code
was
established
back
in
2019.
Some
of
you
were
on
the
council,
then,
and
might
remember
that
that
was
really
done
for
a
number
of
reasons.
T
I
also
want
to
talk
just
briefly
about
the
current
status
of
Swift
deployments
in
Bellevue.
There
are
currently
four
completed
in
downtown
Bellevue.
Three
permits
have
been
issued
for
construction,
one
of
those
permits
very
close
to
being
constructed
15
sites
in
various
stages
of
permit
review
and
then
also
50
poll
reservations.
We
allow
the
carriers
to
come
in
and
reserve
a
poll
for
up
to
half
a
year,
and
this
gives
us
a
really
good
indication
of
future
workload.
T
Working
relationships-
this
is
very
important.
You've
heard
a
lot
about
that
during
the
oral
Communications,
but
we
work
very
hard.
The
chamber
works
very
hard
and
the
carriers
work
very
hard
on
this.
The
city
helps
to
facilitate
this
by
having
monthly
meetings
scheduled
with
Verizon
crown
castle
and
a
t
right
now
we're
meeting
even
more
frequently
with
extonit
who
is
working
with
T-Mobile,
to
begin
the
process
of
implementing
small
Wireless
facilities
for
T-Mobile,
so
we're
walking
them
through
our
permitting
process,
they're
telling
us
about
their
goals
and
we're
we're
having
those
meetings
quite
frequently.
T
Also
the
Bellevue
Chamber
of
Commerce.
The
carriers
in
Bellevue
have
really
collaborated,
and
again,
you've
heard
about
this
already
on
on
two
main
elements:
one
is
process
Improvement,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
process
Improvement
that
we've
accomplished
from
lessons
learned
over
the
last
couple
years.
I
won't
go
through.
T
All
those
one
I
might
point
out
is
that
first
one
electrical
access,
that's
a
really
difficult
thing
for
the
carriers
is:
how
are
they
going
to
get
electricity
to
these
facilities,
and
the
city
happens
to
have
a
great
electrical
circuit
downtown
for
all
our
street
lights,
so
we've
invited
them
to
be
able
to
use
that
circuitry
to
get
their
power
for
their
Swifts.
That's
just
one
example
of
collaboration
and
some
process
Improvement
that
we've
been
able
to
accomplish,
and
then
the
second,
of
course,
is
the
proposed
code
amendments
for
this
evening.
T
I
want
to
point
out
the
ribbon
breaking
that
was
alluded
to
earlier
by
Jody
I
believe
with
the
chamber
on
September
12th.
We
celebrated
the
installation
of
bellevue's,
first
small
Wireless
facility
in
the
downtown.
That's
a
Verizon
installation
and
it
Not
only
was
a
celebration
of
a
very
important
facility,
but
probably
more
importantly,
the
collaboration
between
the
chamber,
the
city
and
the
carriers
to
accomplish
a
lot
in
the
area
of
advancing
connectivity
in
Bellevue.
It's
a
little
rainy
on
that
day
kind
of
like
this
evening,
but
we
got
the
umbrellas
out.
T
We
had
a
great
celebration
and
the
Chamber
invited
us
over
to
their
facility
to
get
dry
afterwards
and
to
have
a
couple
hours
of
really
good
conversation.
So
that
was
great.
All
right
last
slide
from
me
tonight.
The
proposed
code
amendments
themselves
again
were
asking
to
amend
the
Telecommunications
chapter
6.08.
T
You
can
see
the
areas
that
we're
proposing
to
amend
areas
in
the
like
expanding
antenna,
equipment,
placement
options
and
closure
options,
increase
the
amount
of
time
for
permitting
to
operation
processing
those
eligible
facility
requests
that
Caleb
mentioned
and
then
allowing
more
temporary
installation
options,
and
probably,
most
importantly,
again
here
and
you've
heard
this
already.
T
But
this
is
not
just
the
city
staff
coming
to
you
for
these
code
amendments,
but
the
chamber,
the
carriers
and
the
city
staff,
and
these
are
ready
to
go
so
we're
ready
to
bring
these
back
for
legislation
whenever
you're
ready
to
have
us.
So
thank
you
very
much
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
over
I
believe
to
Caleb.
S
Thank
you
Mark,
so
the
next
portion
of
our
presentation
will
cover
amendments
to
the
land
use
code.
The
the
land
use
code
covers
facilities
that
are
on
specifically
on
real
property,
so
anything
outside
of
the
right-of-way,
as
well
as
non
small
Wireless
facilities,
so
macro
facilities,
larger
facilities
are
regulated
under
the
land
use
code
as
well.
S
S
The
main
changes
being
proposed
are
related
to
the
FCC
directives
for
shot
clocks
and
eligible
facilities,
requests
that
we
went
through
earlier
and
then
I
would
say.
The
most
significant
changes
are
related
to
the
permit
procedures
for
nighting
for
citing
new
facilities
in
response
to
those
shot
clocks
from
the
FCC.
S
So
here
we
have
a
similar
table
showing
the
different
types
of
activities
regulated
under
the
land
use
code
and
first
we
have
eligible
facilities,
requests
and
modifications
to
existing
Wireless
facilities
that
don't
qualify
as
efrs
and
then
Wireless
facilities
attached
to
existing
structures
or
co-locations.
All
of
these
activities
are
permitted
by
right
under
the
draft
code.
However,
construction
and
right-of-way
permits
may
be
required.
S
I'll
also
note
that
design,
screening
and
placement
standards
that
do
apply
are
going
to
be
reviewed
under
these
under
the
proposed
process
and
building
permits
for
new
towers
and
so
purpose-built
structures
for
wireless
facilities
and
any
depart
requests
for
departures
from
these
WCF
standards.
An
administrative
conditional
use
permit
process
would
apply.
This
would
allow
for
public
input
and
more
careful
consideration
of
the
Standalone
towers
and
our
review
departures
Additionally.
The
Luca
does
include
Provisions
for
temporary
Wireless
facilities,
which
our
current
code
does
not
speak
to.
S
As
an
overview
for
a
review
process,
as
Mark
noted
and
as
you've
heard
from
commenters
tonight,
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
that
has
gone
into
these
amendments
between
the
city
and
carriers
and
additionally,
over
the
last
two
years,
Mark's
been
working
with
them
and
additionally,
over
the
summer
we
invited
carriers
to
provide
comments
on
the
proposed
Luca
and,
as
we've
heard
tonight,
we
all
came
to
an
agreement
on
on
the
outcome
here.
So
we're
all
feeling
very
good
about
that.
S
Following
tonight's
meeting,
the
Bellevue
city
code
Amendment,
so
the
small
Wireless
facilities
in
the
right-of-way
amendments
can
be
brought
back
for
adoption
at
a
future
meeting.
However,
the
land
use
code
Amendment
does
require
a
public
hearing,
so
that
will
need
to
come
back
for
public
hearing
at
a
future
meeting
as
well
after
the
public
hearing.
S
The
Luca
can
be
adopted
at
any
point,
and
so
with
that,
just
as
a
reminder,
we
are
seeking
Council
direction
to
enter
a
finding
of
necessity
to
continue
processing
the
Luca
and
then
to
schedule
the
public
hearing
for
the
Luca
and
then
to
prepare
the
Wireless
Bellevue
city
code
Amendment
for
final
action.
At
a
future
meeting,
I'll
pass
it
back
to
the
mayor.
B
D
Right,
thank
you,
mayor
great
presentation,
Liz
and
Mark
and
Caleb.
Thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work
on
this
and
I
wish.
Andrew
was
here
I.
Thank
him
as
well,
although
he
probably
got
tired
of
giving
me
monthly
updates
on
this
all
the
time,
but
but
I
really
appreciate
it
has
been
a
long
row.
D
But
you
know
this
is
a
topic
and
or
an
issue
that
I
had
a
particular
interest
in
so
I'm
really
happy
to
see
us
kind
of
get
over
the
Finish
Line
on
this,
and
it
was
great
to
have
the
the
the
ribbon
cutting
despite
the
weather.
It
was
still
a
great
a
great
event.
I
really
appreciate,
as
you
mentioned,
Mark
the
collaboration
between
the
city,
the
various
Wireless
carriers
and
the
Chamber,
who
played
an
important
role
in
this
to
help
keep
moving
this
forward.
D
I
really
appreciate
some
of
the
kind
of
Lessons,
Learned
or
or
areas
where
we
might
be
able
to
help
facilitate
this
even
quicker
going
going
going
forward,
which
is
which
is
great,
I'm
glad
we've
got
four,
but
we've
got
quite
a
few
in
the
pipe
there
to
to
to
roll
out
in
the
city,
and
it's
so
important
for
us
too,
as
a
city
that
you
know
we
like
to
you
know
we
like
to
tell
people
how
forward
thinking
we
are
and
Innovation
and
Technology,
but
all
these
things
you
know
need
that
infrastructure.
D
They
need
that
that
wireless
backbone
they
need
the
Swift
and
the
5G
in
order
to
make
that
happen.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
I
just
for
businesses,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
students
I.
Think
it's
important
for
businesses
here
in
the
city
for
visitors,
for
our
First
Responders.
D
There
hardly
is
a
service
that
we
don't
provide
as
a
city
that
doesn't
touch
some
type
of
or
need
some
type
of
Wireless
connectivity
at
some
point
to
serve
all
our
all
our
residents,
so
so
just
thrilled
that
we've
gotten
to
this
point.
D
Thank
you
for,
for
all
your
hard
work
and
again,
I
really
want
to
thank
the
The
Carriage
as
well
for
hanging
in
there
with
us
as
we
we
get
through
this
this
process,
but
thrilled
with
where
we're
at
at
this
point.
So
thank
you
so
much.
U
Well,
I
had
some
comments.
I
was
going
to
make,
but
you
know
the
deputy
mayor
really
did
a
good
job
and
I
agree
with
that.
It's
it
is
fantastic
and
we're
really
pleased
to
go
forward
and
it,
as
he
said,
indicated
that
you
know
we
we're
really
up
on
the
new
things
going
on
we're
really
engaged
in
things.
The
city
is
growing
greatly,
and
this
has
been
this
piece.
U
That's
kind
of
been
a
little
bit
behind
in
a
sense
and
you've
just
done
a
tremendous
job
of
getting
putting
it
together
and
we're
looking
forward
to
I.
Think
gonna
be
a
lot
of
advances
going
forward
too.
So
we're
set
to
go
on
that
and
thank
you
very
much
and
appreciate
it
and
look
forward
to
using
it.
Thank
you.
E
Yes,
thank
you.
I
love
the
the
slide
that
talks
about
planning
for
a
smarter,
City
so
exciting,
because
that's
exactly
where
we've
been
going
for
a
long
time
and
I
like
the
fact
that
we're
updating
the
land
use
code
after
20
years
and
what
I
heard,
which
is
that
this
is
going
to
give
us
the
flexibility
for
the
advancement
of
5gs,
so
that
hopefully
we're
in
an
even
better
position
and
the
fact
that
you
were
going
slow
to
go
fast.
E
What
I
clearly
heard
was
one
some
of
the
pain
points
to
get
us
to
this
point,
but
that
you
stayed
at
the
table
and
you
broke
through
the
other
side,
and
so
this
is
truly
what
a
partnership
looks
like
and
collaboration.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
supporting
this
finding
of
necessity,
as
well
as
scheduling
the
public
hearing.
E
E
Is
which
is,
and
are
they
all
in
downtown?
No.
A
E
Okay,
so
as
we
it
moves
along
it's
in
downtown
and
then
it'll
be
in
other
communities
as
well,
so
that
holistically,
as
we
think
about
connectivity
and
making
sure
that
all
of
the
areas
in
Bellevue
are
going
to
be
better
by
this
as
well,
so
I
think
that's
great
yeah
everything
I
love
about
it,
regulatory
framework
plus
workable
Solutions,
so
win-win.
Thank
you.
B
I'll
just
say:
I'm
excited
to
be
moving
forward
on
this
we've
had
a
lot
of
questions
what's
been
taking
so
long
and
I
know,
it
has
not
been
easy
and
I
appreciate
the
explanation
tonight.
I
did
want
to
ask
you.
You
read
in
the
paper
about
some
cities
who
are
restricting
the
access
of
the
small
cell
installations
and
I
wonder
what's
different
between
those
cities
and
Ours.
A
T
Think
one
thing:
when
we
establish
when
you
established
the
small
Wireless
facilities
in
the
public
right-of-way
code
in
2019,
you
did
you
established
a
design
criteria,
and
that
was
very
much
thought
through
both
by
your
city
staff,
but
also
by
the
carriers,
and
so
there
are
some
limitation
on
how
big
these
facilities
can
be.
There's
a
lot
of
concealment
elements.
There's
a
lot
of
thought
put
into
how
the
final
product
looks.
You
could
see
that
from
some
of
the
pictures
tonight
the
poll
and
the
equipment
are
all
the
same
color
you
know.
T
Pertinesses
are
tight
to
the
pole,
so
there's
a
nice
aesthetic,
it's
still
a
it's
still
a
facility
with
a
form
factor,
but
it's
Tastefully
done
and
I
think
that
that's
really
helped
our
community
see
that
these
can
be
facilities
that
are
not
only
needed
and
provided,
but
they
can
they.
They
can
look
good
as
well.
V
You
great
job
I
know
that
you
know
this
takes
a
long
time.
You
know
we
pinata
for
quite
a
while,
and
I
saw
I
wanted
to
thank
the
providers.
You
know
for
staying
there
and
working
with
the
city,
because
we
recognize
I
think
the
media
has.
There
are
some
concerns
because
of
the
technology.
You
know
something
different
and
its
appearance.
It's
the
interference,
a
lot
of
people,
don't
know
what
it
is.
We
don't
know
what
it
is.
We
don't
have
questions
and
I
think
we
are
very
responsible
city.
V
So
we
want
to
address
those
issues,
but,
however,
Bellevue
is
a
center
in
the
city
of
global
technology
and
I.
Think
we've
always
been
aware
of
that,
and
we
are
willing
to
take
that.
You
know
responsibility.
So
belvi
has
lots
of
Technology
fibers
everything's
late.
Everything
is
provided
where
one
of
the
city
that
has
a
lot
of
Provisions
infrastructure
for
technology.
If
you
start
doing
that
now
it
would
be
so
expensive,
it's
almost
impossible
right.
So
I
think
we
have
the
foresight
and
I
think
now
we're
reaping
some
of
the.
V
You
know
benefits
of
the
investment
that
we
made.
So
most
people
don't
recognize
how
much
money
we
put
into
technology
infrastructures
I.
Think
the
service
property
can
testify
to
that
right.
You
don't
have
to
take
up
everything,
so
I
really
think
that's
a
good
thing
very
good
to
get
in.
You
know
ahead
of
the
technology.
One
question
that
I've
Dr
Mayo
is
asking.
Other
cities
may
have
some
concerns,
maybe
because
of
their
own
inadequate.
You
know
a
variable
situation
like
infrastructure.
V
You
know
we
don't
have
we
had
these
citizen
review
and
input
because
appearance
like
you
mentioned
how
big
or
small,
how
exclusive
is
a
consideration.
So
I
assume
we
have
all
along
been
keeping
up
to
up.
You
know
keeping
track
with
our
citizens
that
it's
to
me
when
we
were
allow
them,
we
cut
the
ribbon.
It's
very
acceptable
right,
so
I
do
have.
We
heard
anything
from
anybody.
D
D
K
Remember
this
last
topic
is
a
presentation
on
recent
housing
related
amendments
to
the
2021
King,
County,
county-wide,
Planning
policies,
and
just
why
weigh
a
background?
Housing
related
updates
to
the
county-wide
planning
policies
were
recently
approved
by
the
King
County
Council.
In
addition,
I
would
mention
that
the
Bellevue
city
council
ratified
the
initial
21
2021
county-wide
planning
policies
in
March
of
2022,
so
tonight's
staff
will
review
details
of
the
process
as
well
as
the
content
of
the
policy
amendments
themselves.
K
Following
the
presentation,
staff
will
be
seeking
Council
consideration
to
prepare
legislation
ratifying
the
housing
related
amendments
to
the
county-wide
planning
policies
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting
with
that,
I
will
joining
us
at
the
table.
Tonight
is
Michael
cotterman
who's,
the
director
in
Emil
King
planning,
director
both
of
Community
Development
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Michael.
W
Miyaki
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy
Mayor
new
in
house
members
of
the
city
council,
as
Mr
Miyake
said,
we
have
a
presentation
tonight
on
some
amendments
to
the
county-wide
piling
policies.
So
what
we're
going
to?
What
we're
asking
for
from
you
this
evening
is
some
direction
on
whether
you
want
us
to
come
back
for
a
ratification
at
this
point
in
time
in
the
process,
the
interlocal
agreement
that
has
established
a
process
for
approving
amendments
to
the
county-wide
planning
policies.
W
There
are
three
possible
actions
for
the
council.
One
is
to
take
no
action
which
is
deemed
ratification
under
the
interlocal
agreement.
A
second
is
to
take
an
action
to
not
ratify
or
disapprove
third
is
to
take
action
to
ratify.
None
of
these
allow
for
any
changes
to
the
county-wide
planning
policies.
At
this
point
in
the
process
it's
already
gone
through.
All
of
that
work
and
staff
is
seeking
direction
to
bring
back
a
resolution
to
ratify
before
the
November
30th
deadline.
So
we
have
until
that
time
for
the
council
to
make
a
decision
this
evening.
W
So
the
Amendments
themselves
are
an
outgrowth
of
House
Bill
1220
that
was
adopted
by
the
legislature
in
2021.,
the
countywide
planning
policies
align
with
House
Bill
1220
and
that
the
cities
are
required
to
plan
for
and
accommodate
housing
need
and
I
want
to
stress
that
phrase:
that's
in
the
state
legislation,
it's
also
echoed
in
the
county.
Padding
excuse
me,
county-wide
planning
policies,
I'll
get
that
out.
Yet
these
are
not
required
targets.
W
These
are
an
explanation
of
the
need
for
housing
at
different
income
levels
throughout
the
county
and
and
we
have
to
show
that
we
can
plan
for
and
accommodate
those
we
can
demonstrate
through
our
comprehensive
Plan
update
how
we
can
accommodate
with
additional
capacity
the
variety
of
housing
types
and
also
with
our
policies
and
programs
that
will
provide
housing
at
different
income
levels.
So
we
believe
we
can
meet
the
test
of
planning
for
and
accommodating,
as
required
by
12
20
in
the
cpps.
W
W
W
So
what
this
means
for
us
going
forward
is
that
the
county-wide
planning
policies
established
some
accountability
and
implementation
Frameworks.
What
that
means
is
before
we
adopt
our
comprehensive
plan.
We
have
to
send
that
to
the
county
and
the
growth
management
planning.
Council,
will
review
and
comment
on
that
and
make
some
suggestions
and
recommendations
as
to
how
we
might
better
meet
the
the
need
for
the
housing
within
our
jurisdiction.
X
So
I'm
going
to
go
into
a
little
bit
of
detail
on
the
the
King
County
allocation
of
Need
for
Bellevue.
So
this
is
the
summary
of
the
information
that's
in
table
h-1,
that's
in
your
packet
and
part
of
the
county-wide
planning
policies
to
orient
the
council
and
the
public.
We
have
the
different
area,
median
income
brackets,
going
from
the
the
left
over
to
the
right,
starting
with
the
zero
to
thirty
percent
Ami
for
a
single
person
household
in
King
County.
As
of
2023.
That
equates
to
about
thirty
one
thousand
dollars
of
income.
X
You
can
see,
as
we
continue
to
go
off
to
the
right
in
the
31
to
50
percent
Ami
bracket.
We
have
a
little
less
than
9
000
units
in
the
51
to
80
percent
Ami
about
2
800
units,
seven
to
eight
hundred
units
in
the
the
81
to
100
100
to
120
and
then
about
4
000
units
in
the
120
percent
and
plus
area
median
income.
X
It's
important
to
note
that
in
Bellevue
right
now,
a
typical
market
rate
unit,
especially
the
apartments,
are
going
to
be
in
about
the
120,
Ami
or
higher.
Some
are
coming
in
at
about
a
130
percent
Ami
and
the
the
two
Ami
brackets
at
the
0
to
30
and
30
to
50
really
do
have
a
lot
of
subsidy
that
is
needed
to
build
those
based
on
our
experience
and
the
experience
of
of
other
cities.
X
Some
notes
on
the
methodology
that
was
worked
through
at
the
affordable
housing
committee
and
the
the
growth
management
planning
Council
in
the
methodology.
King
County
really
sought
to
increase
housing
choices
for
low
and
moderate
income,
households
in
areas
of
the
county
with
fewer,
affordable
housing
options.
Currently,
so
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
have
the
The
Fairly
large
number
in
the
0
to
30
bracket.
X
X
X
There's
been
some
questions
about
how
bellevue's
allocation
from
the
county
relates
to
other
East
Side
cities.
So
we
took
some
information
out
of
the
the
county-wide
planning
policies
document
and
just
showed
the
percent
of
each
jurisdiction's
need,
as
assigned
by
King
County
and
how
that
relates
to
those
different
area.
Median
income
brackets
that
I
just
talked
about.
So
while
the
the
total
housing
unit
numbers
are
clearly
different
for
the
different
cities.
X
Ours
is
35,
000,
Redmond's,
20,
000
Kirkland
a
little
over
13
000
in
Issaquah,
three
and
a
half
thousand
the
the
distribution
from
the
county
is
is
fairly
similar.
If
you
look
at
the
the
different
Ami
brackets
with
48
to
56
percent
depending
on
the
city
and
that
zero
to
thirty
percent
Ami
bracket
and
then
the
same
as
we
kind
of
go
to
the
to
the
right
of
the
the
Ami
levels
as
well.
X
In
the
calendar
year,
2021
the
city
of
Bellevue
used
a
State
Department
of
Commerce
housing
action
plan,
implementation
Grant
to
do
our
own
local
housing
needs
assessment.
We
did
present
some
findings
of
this,
both
to
the
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
city
council.
Previously,
in
that
work,
we
actually
looked
to
update
the
previous
needs
assessment
for
Bellevue.
That
was
done
in
2015-2016
Timeline
right
before
we
adopted
our
our
affordable
housing
strategy
in
2017.
What
we
did
in
in
our
analysis
was
we
went
and
hired
a
kind
of
a
local
expert
in
the
field.
X
We
looked
at
who
works
in
the
city,
especially
those
who
might
be
earning
in
the
in
the
lower
end
of
the
the
income
spectrum,
and
then
we
also
looked
at
who
might
want
to
move
to
Bellevue
and
as
a
proxy
looked
at
income
levels
in
King
County.
As
people
who
might
consider
moving
to
to
Bellevue,
so
that's
how
at
least
we
derived
this
needs
assessment
for
for
Bellevue.
This
again
does
add
up
to
the
the
35
000
housing
units
that
we
are
planning
for
in
our
comprehensive
plan.
Effort.
X
I
wanted
to
show
the
previous
graphic
with
the
the
amounts
that
we
were
planning
so
in
the
purple
you
can
see
in
our
local
Bellevue
needs
assessment.
We
had
6
800
units
in
that
zero
to
Thirty
around
3
600
in
the
30
to
50
and
then
about
39
hundredths
in
the
50
to
80,
and
those
are
on
top
of
the
blue
is
what
was
existing
as
of
2020.
So
you
can
see
our
local
needs
assessment
even
showed
that
we
were
having
a
need
well
above
the
units
that
we
have
now.
X
It
showed
about
a
matching
what
we
had
in
the
30
to
50
level
and
then
some
increases
in
the
50
to
80
level.
That
showed,
at
least
in
our
local
need
that
we
didn't
need
as
much
compared
to
some
of
the
other
Ami
brackets,
also
important.
To
note
that
we
did
look
at
the
above
80
Ami
levels
and
were
based
on
our
Bellevue
needs
assessment
showed
the
need
for
about
21
000
units
above
80
percent
Ami,
compared
to
about
50
000
in
the
current
housing
stock.
As
of
2020.
X
Wanted
to
just
give
a
little
bit
of
detail
on
some
of
the
Bellevue
incomes
that
we
looked
at.
We
were
using
the
the
most
recent
data
in
2021
when
we
did.
Most
of
this
work
was
2019,
so
we
were
looking
at
both
residents
and
employees,
so
you
can
see
those
two
columns.
There
show
the
the
amount
of
our
residents
who
actually
are
making
15
000
K
per
year
and
the
amount
that
we're
making
up
up
to
that
40K
per
year
level,
so
between
15
and
40
000.
X
So
this
is
just
an
example
of
kind
of
the
rigor
that
we
took
to
look
at
who
was
living
in
the
city.
At
that
point,
who
was
working
in
the
city
and
trying
to
make
some
accommodations
for
their
housing
needs
as
a
as
a
comparison,
the
15K
and
40K
really
did
drive
a
lot
of
the
the
numbers
that
came
into
our
needs
assessment
in
the
in
the
finalization
of
it.
X
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
just
to
highlight
briefly
the
affordable
housing
work
that
we
have
ongoing.
We
do
come
to
council
twice
a
year
to
give
an
update
on
all
of
our
all
of
our
work
that
we've
been
doing
since
the
affordable
housing
strategy
was
adopted
in
2017,
so
that
really
ramped
up
our
efforts
to
actually
take
a
more
concerted
approach
to
getting
policy
code
and
direct
investment
into
affordable
housing.
The
comprehensive
Plan
update
in
Wolverton
are
really
big
milestones
for
the
city
to
really
be
doing
more
work
on
affordable
housing.
X
And
then
the
cities
or
city
council
has
been
very
involved
in
our
code
and
policy
changes
to
expand
opportunities
on
faith-based
properties.
There
were
two
two
things
that
happened
with
C1
phase
one
and
C1
phase
two.
We
also
have
the
very
successful
multi-family
tax
exemption
program,
that's
reaping
good
rewards
and
in
the
tax
exemption
for
80
Ami
and
then
a
whole
host
of
next
drive
work
items
that
have
both
been
accomplished
and
are
currently
be
work
being
worked
on
and
then
just
to
highlight
some
of
the
the
Milestones
to
pull
this
all
together.
X
So
back
in
2022,
there's
significant
work
done
by
the
affordable
housing
committee.
We
had
elected
officials
represented
on
that
in
December
of
2022.
We
had
the
recommendation
from
the
affordable
housing
committee
to
the
growth
management
planning.
Council
Deputy
Mayor
new
in
house
was
involved
in
in
that
work.
There
was
a
approval
in
March
of
2023
and
ultimately,
the
King
County
council
did
adopt
this
in
August
2023.
The
90-day
period
starts
from
when
we
received
the
letter
notifying
us
that
they
actually
did
adopt
this.
B
Definitely
support
ratifying
this,
but
I
am
really
conflicted
with
these
cpps
and
I'm
talking
as
an
individual
council
member,
not
as
the
representative
on
the
affordable
housing
committee,
where
I
sit
with
other
Sound
City
members,
I
100
percent
create
support
creating
as
much
affordable
housing
as
we
can
in
our
city
and
I
worked
really
hard
to
try
to
make
that
possible
through
helping
to
create
that
affordable
housing
strategy,
really
supporting
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
that
you
just
discussed
and
the
future
work
that
you're
doing
but
I
do
not
subscribe
to
aspirational
and
unattainable
goals.
B
I
just
that's
I
struggle
with
this
and
I
think
that.
B
You
know
County
Wide.
We
need
to
look
at
how
much
affordable
housing
we
need.
We
all
every
city
needs
to
contribute
for
sure,
but
I
look
at
those
numbers
and
you're
saying
that
87
percent
of
the
35
000
units
that
we
will
build
in
the
next
20
years
will
will
require
subsidies
which
is
government,
cash
and
I.
B
Just
don't
see
where
we're
going
to
get
that,
and
so
it's
frustrating
to
me
to
get
Meyer
down
to
something
that's
somewhat
unobtainable
when
we
really
need
to
be
focusing
on
what
we
can
do
and
what
is
feasible
and
so
I
appreciate
the
work
that
we're
doing
I
think
we
should
be
looking
at
more
than
just
affordable
housing.
I
think
we
should
look
at
people's
wages,
people's
cost
of
living.
How
high
that's
going
up
and
everything
that
we
can
do
to
reduce
the
cost
of
living
in
Bellevue
and
advocate
for
increased
wages
for
workers?
B
We
need
to
be
looking
at
the
whole
structure
of
the
system
here,
but
I
will
I
will
support
this
and
I
do
appreciate
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
just
to
kind
of
put
a
face
on
what
we're
talking
about
here.
I
remember
when
we
helped
save
Highland
Village,
and
here
you
had
I-
think
85
Bellevue
School
District
families
at
risk
of
losing
their
housing.
We
found
when
we
looked
at
who
the
people
were
that
were
struggling.
B
They
were
working
three
jobs,
they
had
two
families
in
in
a
number
of
units
doubled
up
just
trying
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
in
Bellevue
so
that
their
kids
could
be
going
to
our
schools
and
those
kids
were
on
the
honor
roll.
Those
kids
were
in
the
gifted
program.
This
isn't
a
very
valuable
Community
to
our
city
and
we
need
to
be
supporting
and
making
it
easier
for
people
to
live
here
so
whatever
we
can
do
to
do
that,
and
this
is
not
the
only
way
we
can
do
it.
D
First,
thank
you
Emil
and
Michael
and
Tara
who's,
not
here
and
Lacey
Jane.
They
were
tremendously
helpful
going
through
the
process,
at
least
for
me,
on
the
gmpc
and
I'm
sure
for
the
mayor
as
well,
and
the
affordable
housing
Council
mayor.
Thank
you
for
all
your
great
work
on
that
affordable
housing,
Council
I
also
feel
a
little
conflicted
on
on
this
I
agree
to
to
ratify,
but
this
is
not
an
easy
process
and
I
want
to
also
thank
the
great
King
County
staff
as
well
helping
us
with
with
the
with
this
process.
D
As
you
know,
it's
a
priority
for
them.
It's
all
affordable
housing
is,
you
know
one
of
bellevue's
highest
priorities
as
well,
and
you
know
that's
really
evident
in
what
we've
done
previously.
D
You
know
the
great
work
we
did
with
that
or
not
me,
because
I
wasn't
on
the
council
yet,
but
councilman
Stokes
and
mayor
Robinson,
etc,
for
the
affordable
housing
strategy
for
Bellevue
in
2017
and
the
fact
we're
going
to
hit
that
Target
well
before
you
know
the
2027
and
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
all
the
great
work,
a
meal
that
we've
done
to
date,
including
all
those
great
next
right,
work,
actions
that
we're
looking
to
take
as
well
in
terms
of
removing
barriers
to
micro,
Apartments,
reducing
permit
fees
for
affordable
housing
project.
D
Looking
at
the
higher
floor
area
ratio
or
density,
to
encourage
more
residential
versus
commercial
development,
encouraging
dadus
and
simplify
the
permitting
process
Expediting
permitting
for
affordable
housing.
We
are
doing
a
lot
of
great
things
here.
D
I
I,
you
know
I
know,
other
cities
are
doing
great
things
as
well,
but
but
I
would
say
we're
you
know
near
the
top
in
terms
of
of
what
we're
doing,
we've
made
it
a
priority
and
I.
Don't
think
that
we
get
nearly
enough
credit
for
the
amount
of
housing
that
we
are
creating
in
in
the
city,
and
we
all
agree
that
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
Obviously,
but
you
know
it's
and
it's
not
just
Bellevue,
but
it's
other
cities
that
are
committed
to
this
as
well.
D
In
fact,
like
many
cities,
we're
not
maybe
doing
enough
in
that
zero
to
thirty
percent
Ami
category,
which
is
has
a
lot
of
challenges.
As
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
you
know
we
were
presented
at
the
gmpc
three
different
options:
I
thought
option:
two
was
a
better
option
than
option
three,
but
option.
Three
was
the
one
that
was
put
forward
because
in
my
mind
it
had
some
significant
issues
that
I
just
wanted
to
raise
here
for
everyone's.
D
D
Excuse
me
of
bellevue's
in
2019,
2044
housing,
Target
of
35
000
units
to
be
affordable
below
am
80
Ami,
and
most
of
this
would
need
to
be
in
that
zero
to
thirty
percent
Ami
and
below
30
Ami.
You
units
are
typically
entirely
subsidized,
as
you
know,
so.
D
The
city
of
Bellevue
would
likely
be
required
on
the
order
of
nine
billion
dollars
to
fund
that
I
mean
that's
well
out
of
our
out
of
our
reach
and
Emil
I
appreciate
you
put
up
the
the
percentages
of
each
category
that
cities
are
going
to
be
responsible
before,
but
if
you
look
at
the
actual
number
of
units
versus
the
percentages,
it's
it
is
so
drastic.
No
other
city
in
King,
County
is
taking
on
a
bigger
percentage
share
now.
You're.
Absolutely
right
in
terms
of
this
is
about
needs.
D
This
is
not
Targets.
This
is
needs
and
Michael.
Thank
you
so
much
for
clarifying
that
at
the
very
beginning,
here,
I
think
that's
really
really
important,
and
there
is
that
need.
So
you
know
again.
What
was
Troublesome
to
me
was
the
the
Baseline
units
are
added
and
I
think
this
is
an
important
thing
to
recognize
too
or
add
it
to
the
net
change
to
get
to
the
total
future
housing
Supply
right,
so
Bellevue
ends
up
requiring
more
steeper
affordability
by
percentage
than
other
cities.
D
D
As
the
mayor
said
about
you
know
these
aspirational
goals,
I
mean
it's
going
to
be
very
difficult
to
get
to
that
and
maintain
that,
even
if
we
had
unlimited
funds,
so
you
know
again,
we
all
acknowledge
the
significant
need
of
that
0
to
30
0,
to
30
and
and
the
30
to
50
Mi
levels,
but
the
allocations
for
Bellevue
I
think
were
unreasonably
High
over
half
of
bellevue's
35
000
total
new
housing
units
by
2044
would
be
in
that
in
that
range,
as
as
described
and
I
would
like
to
have
seen
a
little
bit
more
of
a
equitable
distribution
across
all
cities
in
terms
of
across
all
those
different
categories.
D
I
think
that
was
one
of
our
goals:
I'm,
not
really
sure
we
we
we
quite
achieved
it,
but
you
know
more
realistic
goal.
Setting
would
have
been
what
would
have
been
great
from
from
my
perspective,
so
because
certainly
working
with
other
cities
and
and
I
think
Bellevue,
and
this
is
where
staff
was
so
important
and
and
did
such
a
tremendous
job
and
effective
in
clarifying
that
the
CPP
policy
language,
that
these
affordable
housing
again
reflect
an
allocation
of
need
and
not
a
Target.
D
We
are
you
know
we
we
want
to
create
as
many
affordable
housing
units
across
all
these
different
categories
as
possible,
but
to
think
that
we
can
create
this
many,
especially
in
the
zero
to
thirty
percent.
It's
just
not
it's
just
not
reasonable.
It's
not
possible.
We
would
all
like
it
to
be,
but
there's
just
no
way
unless
you
know
we,
unless
the
city
manager
found
nine
billion
dollars
somewhere
that
he
hasn't
told
us
about
yet
but
anyway.
D
So
so,
yes
again
I'm
in
favor
of
moving
this
forward
and
ratifying
you
know,
I
wish
it
was
more
I
attainable
goals
not
just
for
us
but
for
the
whole
region,
because
each
city
has
something
that
they
probably
like
to
see
tweak
but
but
again
I,
really
at
the
end
of
the
day.
D
Here,
I
really
want
to
also
just
acknowledge
the
great
work
by
by
staff,
because
we
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
have
that
amount
of
influence
without
your
constant
diligence
and
knowledge
of
the
process
and
of
of
of
of
the
code
here.
So
thank
you.
V
As
you
have
heard
from
the
mayor
and
deputy
mayor,
you
know
you
guys
have
a
tough
job
to
do
and
I
want
to
compliment
you.
The
job
is
tough
because
it's
hard
to
really
figure
out
I
think
you
know
we
all
have
a
different.
How
well
I
put
Taps
of
understanding
of
all
this
thing
because
you
guys
are
working
on
it.
You
guys
come
up
with
the
best
you
have,
but
then
there's
a
lot
of
assumptions.
V
A
lot
of
different
ghosts,
that's
set
by
people
by
the
state
by
the
county
by
others,
and
there
are
different
situations
for
each
different
city,
and
you
know
belly
is
very
attractive
city
everywhere.
On
the
move
here,
some
cities,
people
don't
want
to
go
there,
so
I,
don't
know
how
they
set
the
pyramid.
How
they
set
the
criteria,
be
honest
with
you.
You
know:
I
have
not
been
as
close
with
the
housing.
V
As
you
know,
the
deputy
mayor
they've
been
having
to
work
on
it
and
I
don't
have
the
assignment
to
work
on
it,
so
I've
got
other
things
to
do
so.
I
mean
I,
think
I
represent
and
also
I
realize.
What
the
public
thinks
the
Public
Public
would
have
even
less
understanding
you
know,
of
what
all
these
goals
are
set,
and
all
this
and
I've
heard
you
know,
goals
are
important,
but
how
are
they
said?
V
Are
they
said
to
be
realistic
to
reflect
what
number
one
that
we
need
to
take
responsibility
for
to
that
where
we
can
do
or
not
right
and
whether
do
a
lot
depends
on
how
much
was
the
public
supports
us?
How
much
they
understand
it
and
all
this
is
difficult,
challenging
so
I.
So
we
are
making
decisions
with
all
these
challenges
and
questions
still
Among
Us
decision
we
make
up
to
the
I
mean
at
best
it's
something
that
we
make
the
best
judgment
we
have
and
it
could
all
be
all
over
the
place.
V
So
I
agree
that
we
all
agree
that
this
is
a
noble
worthy
cause
having
housing
for
people
who
need
housing,
but
there's
so
many
different
elements
which
I
don't
know.
Most
people
don't
understand
so
I,
so
I
with
a
support.
Definitely
this
is
important
issue.
We
need
to
move
forward,
but
when
we
start
really
allocating
taking
on
the
responsibility,
how
much
money
do
you
have
realistically
to
do
that?
You
know
whether
I
like
the
mayor,
major
used
to
wear
aspirational.
V
We
all
want
to
be
a
spiritual,
you
know,
but
this
practical
limitation
consideration,
you
know
and
that's
going
to
not
just
the
financial
impact
but
impacting
our
community
as
a
whole
and
the
people
who
live
here
as
a
whole
and
the
future
people
who
are
coming
here
so
I
can
speak
on
that.
So
I
hope.
We
understand
that
I
hope
the
whole
country
understand
that.
So
when
we
make
those
decisions
eventually,
you
know
there's
understanding
of
some
real
good
dialogue
and
discussion
and
much
better
education
for
all
of
us.
V
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
information.
I
really
appreciate
the
graphs
and
the
comparisons
and
seeing
what
the
current
inventory
is
of
the
0
to
30
and
the
30
to
50
percent.
I
mean
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
that
these
are
really
high
numbers
that
we're
aspiring
to
try
to
meet,
and
we
all
know-
and
we've
been
talking
about
for
several
years-
the
need
for
more
affordable
housing
stock
and
to
look
at
making
sure
that
we
have
equitable
distribution
around
the
county.
So
I
do
support
bringing
this
back.
E
I
guess
some
things,
though,
that
I
was
thinking
about
as
I've
been
reading.
The
packet
is
that
you
know
we're
looking
at
the
whole
system
and
we
have
these
numbers,
but
the
level
of
investment
that
it's
going
to
take
for
us
to
get
there.
As
my
colleagues
have
already
talked
about
when
I
look
at
table
H
and
it
talks
about
here-
are
the
different
strategies
that
we
can
look
at.
We
can
streamline
all
day
long
and
we
can
work
with
development
partners
and
but
the
city
itself.
E
E
You
know
short
of
a
huge
influx
of
funds
from
state
or
federal
level,
which
none
of
which
I'm
really
seeing
that
we've
been
able
to
be
competitive
at
or
that
there's
a
pool
for.
Where
are
those
Investments
going
to
come
from?
Because
there's
just
one
line
that
in
the
strategy
table
that
says,
we
should
increase
our
financial
contributions.
Well,
I!
Don't
think
that
there's
nearly
enough
money
in
RC
cushions
for
this,
so
I
I
would
like
to
better
understand
what
this
adoption.
E
What
are
the
things
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
as
a
region
and
advocacy?
You
know
Genesee
with
our
alleged
policies
for
how
we're
actually
going
to
try
to
move
forward
in
any
way
shape
or
form,
because
otherwise
we
could
say
we're
going
to
move
with
urgency.
We're
going
to
look
at
this
we're
going
to
have
annual
reports,
but
we're
going
to
think
find
ourselves
really
frustrated
with
the
fact
that
the
hill
is
so
steep
that
we
will
be
making
very
little
progress
with
without
a
huge
influx
of
Partners
or
or
funding.
Y
Anyway,
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
what's
been
said
and
I
think
that
this
Council
in
this
city
should
be
really
proud
of
the
work
that
we
have
all
done
together
to
increase
housing
to
increase,
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
The
numbers
that
the
county
has
given
us
do
not
reflect
to
bellevue's
need
they
reflect
the
County's
need
and
they
are
are
taking
that
need
and
trying
to
push
a
lot
of
it
on
the
East.
Y
Side
I'd
be
very
curious
to
see
that
bar
chart
with
every
city
in
it,
because
the
east
side
is
getting
slaughtered
on
this.
We
have
done
a
lot
and
will
continue
to
do
a
lot
to
increase,
affordable
housing
in
Bellevue
and
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
of
our
people.
Y
Y
So
what
they're
talking
about
is
taking
52
percent
of
all
future
housing
units
in
Bellevue
and
setting
and
having
them
built
and
set
aside
for
people
that
don't
work,
I,
don't
know,
that's
really
realistic,
given
the
cost
of
land
in
Bellevue
it
and
it
does
not
come
even
it's
two
almost
three
times
higher
than
the
need,
not
even
counting
the
6700
emergency
housing
units
that
they
are
allocating
to
us
than
we
have
for
the
zero
to
thirty
percent,
and,
as
my
colleague
said,
you
know,
where
are
we
going
to
find
the
10
billion
nine
billion
dollars?
Y
I,
don't
know
if
that
counted
the
emergency
housing,
that's
another
two
or
three
billion.
We
don't
have
it
and
it's
really
easy
for
King
County
to
say,
increase
funding.
We
don't
have
it.
We
are
definitely
working
with
our
partners.
We
are
putting
our
money
where
our
mouth
is.
Private
sector
will
never
build
zero
to
sixty
percent
and
so,
which
is
the
vast
vast
majority
of
the
of
the
housing
units
that
they're
allocating
to
us.
Y
Unlike
my
colleagues,
however,
I
don't
support
ratification.
I
think
that
these
targets
are
so
unrealistic
that
if
we
ratified
it,
it
says
we
agree,
they
are
misleading
to
the
public.
They
lack
transparency.
Y
It's
really
performative,
not
realistic
and
I.
Don't
think
that
we
should
ratify.
In
fact,
I
would
rather
make
sure
that
all
the
cities
of
King
County
are
aware
of
what
they're
buying
when
they're,
ratify
and
encourage
all
the
cities
to
reject
I've
read
the
the
resolution
from
the
growth
board
or
the
growth
management
planning
Council.
Y
It
isn't
just
a
goal.
Yes,
they
can't
take
away
funding
from
us
if
we
don't
reach
it,
but
we
are
required
to
plan
and
accommodate
we're
required.
We
we
will
be
judged
on
whether
we
are
reasonably
whether
our
comp
plan
is
reasonably
to
be
expected
to
support
and
enable
the
production
or
preservation
of
units
needed
at
each
affordability
level.
That's
a
quote
from
that.
So
if
we
are
judged
on
that,
what
can
happen,
we
can
build
the
most
beautiful
comp
plan
language,
but
we
could
have
our
comp
plan
rejected
by
the
county.
Y
We
could
have
our
comp
plan
or
our
land
use
code,
challenged
to
the
growth
board
after
it's
adopted,
and
then
we
have
to
defend
ourselves
from
not
planning
to
meet
a
goal
that
is
impossible.
I
would
like
every
member
of
this
community
to
make
a
million
dollars
a
year.
So
let's
pass
a
resolution
and
do
it
right.
I
mean
this
is
this?
Is
the
ludicracy
the
ludicrousness
of
this?
Y
It
is
just
doesn't
work,
and
so
you
know,
I
can't
see
ratifying
something
that
we
know
is
not
just
unrealistic
but
impossibly
so
I
think
it
sends
the
wrong
message.
It
requires
us
to
try
to
tie
ourselves
in
pretzels
and
still
not
even
come
close.
Y
It
assumes
that
the
next
you
know
10
years
of
budget,
is
going
to
go
only
to
build
affordable
housing
which
we're
not
going
to
do.
I
mean
it's.
It's
just
absurd.
Absurd
is
probably
the
best
language
for
this
and
I.
Y
Don't
want
to
put
the
city
in
the
position
where
our
land
use
code
and
our
comp
plan
can
be
challenged,
because
we
can't
do
the
impossible
and
I
would
like
to
see
many
of
the
cities
that
are
getting
unfairly
allocated,
that
don't
not
consistent
with
those
cities
needs
like
Bellevue
to
push
back
on
the
county.
I
I
am
so
grateful
for
the
mayor
and
deputy
mayor
of
their
work.
Y
W
U
I
guess
I'm
I'm
struggling
with
both
the
well
the
way
it's
been
presented,
the
way
we've
been
talking
about
it
and
it's
it's
it's
a
lot
more
complex
than
I
think
anybody
thought
it
was
when
we
were
looking
at
it,
it's
difficult
to
come
to
any
kind
of
a
decision
and
I
think
we
it's
accurate
that
we
really
want
to
do
as
much
as
we
can.
U
Yeah
and
I
I
think
I
I
disagree
to
some
extent
with
some
of
my
colleagues
in
terms
of
how
far
we
go
and
how
much
how
inspirational
you
can
be,
and
all
that
that's
something
we
can
talk
about,
and
the
other
thing
is
really
puzzling
is
this
is
it
sounds
like
we
could
sign
on
this
thing
and
not
do
anything.
Basically
when
it
comes
down
to
it
this.
This
is
a
real
kind
of
I.
Think
full
of
kind
of
some
holes
in
the
whole
thing,
but
I
think
overall.
U
It
it
also
is
something
that
we
all
need
of
kicking
the
pants
on,
and
it's
so
easy
to
do
exactly.
What
we're
all
doing
is
what
we
really
like
this
and
everything
else.
We
don't
think
we
can
get
to
it
and
whatever
we
do
and
it's
not
working
or
whatever,
and
we
it's
I
think
that's
what's
frustrating
is
I
mean
I,
probably
would
go
further
than
anybody
else
here
on
on
doing
something
that
is
aspirational
and
trying
to
actually
actually
deal
with
and
make
something
different
in
the
in
this.
U
In
the
situation
we
all
have
our
different
looks
on
it.
I
I
don't
agree
that
it's
as
awful
as
it's
been
portrayed,
I,
don't
think
it's
as
good
as
it's
been
betrayed
for
trade,
so
I,
just
I
I'm,
not
it's
just
difficult
to
make
a
decision
on
and
I
think
sometimes
and
I'm,
not
sure
all
the
things
that
they're
laid
out
or
been
talked
about
or
really
thoroughly.
If
you
thoroughly
vet
them
they're
actually
corrects
it's
it's
it's
a
difficult
decision
to
make
because
we're
making
it
on
probably
all
about
seven
different
views
of.
U
B
Members
so
yeah
well.
U
Okay,
I,
like
Lynn,
said
exactly
what
I
hope
somebody
would
say
is
exactly
what
it
is
and
that's
what
it's
trying
to
get
to
and
the
problem
is
that's
the
simple
part:
it's
an
aspirational
thing
and
it
sets
goals
out
and
it
doesn't,
it's
very
seems,
washy
wishy-washy
and
what
it
can
actually
do
on
it.
I
I,
just
I
think.
Actually
it's
it's
it's
an
it's
something.
We
need.
U
It's
a
kick
in
the
rear
to
get
us
really
going,
but
it
seems
to
have
a
lot
of
complications
to
it
and
that's
the
problem
and
we're
all
going
to
have
to
do
a
lot
more
than
we're
doing
now,
and
it
sounds
to
me
that
is
something
that
sets
out
a
lot
of
things
and
I'm
not
sure
what
they
can
do
to
make
people
do
these
things
either.
So
it's
it's
a
difficult
one
to
make
a
decision
on,
but
I
agree
with
what
she
said.
U
I
think
that's
the
the
the
that's
the
the
the
the
main
point
of
all
of
it.
We
have
to
get
out
of
this.
Well,
we
knew
we
know
we
need
to
do
this,
but
we
can't
because
of
these
reasons
or
it's
kind
of
hard
or
maybe
this
is
the
wrong.
How
do
they
come
up
these
numbers
and
everything
else,
and
we
end
up
10
years
now
we
kind
of
like
we
did
10
years
ago
and
10
years
ago.
U
So
that's
that's
a
problem.
It
is
a
strange
one.
I
think
we
we
need
to
do
more
work
on
this
before
we
make
a
decision.
Z
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
support
ratifying
it
I
think
one
thing
to
keep
in
mind
is,
as
everyone
is
alluded
to,
is
that
building
zero
to
Thirty
is
a
challenge,
and
unless
there
is
something
like
aspirational
goals
to
get
us
beyond
the
current
thinking,
I
think
it
will
continue
to
be
a
challenge
that
in
some
ways
we
will
continue
to
Kick
the
Can
down
the
road.
Z
Z
So
as
I
remember,
if
I
remember
correctly,
the
affordable
housing
strategy
was
the
target
was
set
based
on
what
tools,
what
what
would
be
possible
based
on
the
tools
available
instead
of
the
need
and
I
think
prioritizing
the
need
and
then
figuring
out
how
to
meet
that
need,
is
a
is
a
much
more
effective
approach
to
figuring
out
how
we're
going
to
address
this,
this
problem
in
our
community
and
it
and
look
we're
a
city
in
a
region
where
I
mean
this
is
not
an
isolated
issue
and
I
think
it's
important
to
consider
the
regional
context,
in
addition
to
the
local
context
so
and
so
I
support
it.
B
Okay,
why
don't
you
make
a
motion
deputy
mayor.
D
B
D
Mayor,
thank
you
mayor
under
the
scenario
that
councilmember
Roberson
brought
up.
Could
you
speak
to
that
because
I
don't
think
you
had
a
chance
to
address
that
I
want
to
know.
Could
the
city
be
held
liable
in
any
ways
if
we
were
not
able
to
hit
these
aspirational
numbers
because,
as
we've
just
discussed,
this
is
really
about
needs?
W
Great
question
and
I
appreciate
that
being
asked.
I
think
we're
still
working
to
figure
all
of
that
out
exactly
what
that
might
mean,
but
I
can
give
you
our
best
understanding
of
it
at
this
point,
because
of
the
way
that
the
the
county-wide
planning
policies
are
written
and
it's
consistent
with
the
state
law,
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
teeth
in
what
the
county-wide
policies
can
or
cannot
do.
They
can
make
suggestions
and
recommendations.
W
Let's
say
they
don't
feel
like
we're
adequately
planning
for
and
accommodating
anyone
could
appeal
our
plan
to
the
growth
hearings
board,
but
there
isn't
any
any
other
carrot
or
stick
that
they
can
use
at
this
point,
unlike
the
Puget
Sound
Regional
Council
that
controls
the
transportation
dollars.
If
they
don't
excuse
me,
if
they
don't
approve
our
our
transportation
element,
then
they
can
make
us
ineligible
for
for
transportation
dollars.
I,
don't
see
a
similar
situation
with
the
county.
W
D
W
V
Thank
you
thanks
I
support
and
agree
with
councilman
Robertson.
You
know,
after
listening
her
statements.
V
It
because
I
believe
that
if
it's
not
realistic,
it's
something
that
is
not
going
to
you
know
realistically
get
the
people's
support,
not
just
even
the
support
but
the
ability
to
support,
because
we're
saying
it's
so
aspirational,
it's
likely
not
possible
see.
If
we
do
that-
and
you
know
the
people
who
are
going
to
be
and
the
city
continues
to
have
a
plan
because
we
approved
it
right,
I
mean
okay
and
people
are
going
to
say.
V
Wow
gee
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
put
up
with
this
because
it
costs
money
to
do
it,
and
it's
going
to
cost
me
tax
money
to
do
it,
and
it's
going
to
move
toward
that.
You
know
the
bottom
line.
Is
people
can
walk,
they're
going
to
say:
I
cannot
afford
this
I
don't
want
to
provide
money
for
a
unrealistic.
V
You
know
the
aspiration
thing
is:
if
it's
come
from
the
community,
they
all
support
it
and
right
now
in
blood
that
the
bottom
line,
we
will
go
with
this,
but
it
isn't
it's
our
aspiration
individually.
Even
on
this
panel,
which
is
always
different
different,
you
know
realities
to
what
is
aspiration,
I
like
to
be
aspirational,
but
there's
limitation,
okay,
I
think
this
is
what
I'm
looking
at.
Second,
there
are
priorities
we
have.
We
have
many
other
things
to
do.
V
V
You
know
why
we,
our
job,
is
to
make
sure
we
provide
a
government,
a
city,
an
institution
that
can
provide
City
citizens
on
all
different
ways
that
we
can
live
here.
We
attract
people
to
come
here
continue
the
solution
to
this,
which
is
really
the
bottom
line,
is
if
nobody
wants
to
live
here.
Everybody
wants
to
leave,
we
will
not
have
any
housing
problems,
but
I
believe
what
we
do
as
govern
governing
body
for
Bellevue.
We
want
people
to
come
here.
V
We
want
to
divide
everything
to
attract
people
to
come
here,
so
this
is
inherent
challenge
in
a
problem,
but
it's
a
good
problem.
It's
a
good
challenge.
We
need
to
provide
a
balance.
That's
the
key,
that's
our
job,
our
jobs,
our
balance
and
I.
Think
what
we're
poaching
being
realistic
being
given
other
ideas,
that's
realistic!
That's
the
responsibility
of
we
as
the
council
members
as
a
city.
Thank.
V
Will
support
Jennifer's,
okay
position,
I'll.
E
So
there's
been
discussions
and
representation
to
of
the
development
of
the
policies
and
the
allocations,
and
so
I'm
I'm
struggling
at
this
point
with
us
saying:
oh,
we
didn't
agree
with
the
approach,
and
so
if
we
were
trying
to
steer
someplace
differently
I'm
struggling
with,
why?
When
we're
here
at
being
asked
to
ratify
something
that
was
develop
over
a
period
of
time
that
we're
now
rediscussing
the
the
whole
framework
and
and
criteria
so.
B
I,
maybe
you
can
speak
to
the
the
work
that
the
deputy
mayor
and
I
did
to.
W
W
Yes,
I'd
be
happy
to,
and
Emil
could
fill
out,
fill
in
anything
that
I
miss
on
that,
and
this
was,
as
we
mentioned,
this
came
out
of
the
2021
update
to
the
kind
of
like
planning
policies
acknowledging
at
that
time
that
house
bill
1220
had
passed,
but
it
wasn't
included
in
those
updates.
So
the
direction
was
for
the
affordable
housing
committee
that
the
mayor
sits
on
to
to
figure
out
how
to
incorporate
that
into
the
county-wide
planning
policies.
W
There
was
a
lot
of
work
that
was
done
and
I
wasn't
here
for
all
of
that.
The
mayor
and
and
Emil
can
speak
more
to
that.
There
was
a
lot
of
work
done,
looking
at
different
methodologies
of
how
that
need
would
be
allocated
to
all
the
different
jurisdictions
in
the
county,
the
the
staff
and
the
elected
officials,
the
mayor
and
deputy
mayor.
In
particular,
we
raised
a
lot
of
concerns
and
questions
about
the
methodology
that
was
ultimately
chosen.
W
There
were
three
options:
we
felt
that
it
wasn't
the
best
option
and
we
lobbied
for
change.
We
worked
with
other
cities
to
try
to
get
some
changes.
We
were
not
able
to
get
them
to
use
a
different
methodology,
but
there
were
changes
made
to
the
policy
language
itself
and
to
the
The
Narrative.
That
goes
with
those
that
I
think
the
mayor
was
working
on
through
the
affordable
housing
committee.
That
was
part
of
the
recommendation
that
went
forward
to
the
growth
management
planning
Council
that
the
deputy
mayor
sits
on.
W
So
there
was
a
lot
of
work
that
went
into
getting
us
to
this
point.
We
we
wish
we
had
been
more
successful
in
getting
some
some
changes
to
the
methodology
to
come
up
with
a
number
that
we
felt
was
was
more
in
line
with
something
that
could
be
achieved,
but
we
were
not
successful
to
that
degree,
but
we
were
successful
in
at
least
taking
a
lot
of
the
language
out
that
made
it
look
as
more
of
a
requirement.
It.
A
W
The
language
is
very
specific,
and
that
was
some
of
the
language
that
was
changed
and
there's
actually
narrative
in
there
that
recognizes
that
cities
do
not
have
the
the
the
resources
with
capabilities
to
produce.
The
zero
to
Thirty
Ami,
in
particular,
actually
I
think
is
zero
to
fifty
Ami
in
particular.
Is
there
anything
you
want
to
add
to
this
email,
yeah
I
think
you
covered
it
all.
B
Y
Councilmember
Robert
again,
but
I
guess
I
will
so
no
and
I
appreciate
staff
and
Deputy
Mayor
mayor's
work
on
taking
something
that
was.
You
know
100
times
worse
than
this
and
amending
it.
So
it's
just
merely
horrible
and
impossible,
rather
than
you
know,
that's
the
that's
the
level
that
it's
at
now,
but
it
was
way
worse
before,
but
that
doesn't
mean
I
can
still
support
ratifying
it,
because
I
think
that
it
misleads
the
public
and
it
misleads
it
gives
the
wrong
policy
direction
to
our
staff
and
it
it's
just.
Y
It
misleads
everyone
if
we
agree
to
these
numbers
when
they
are
impossible,
so
I
I'm
still
a
no
vote
and
I'll
just
stop
there.
B
U
I
think
I
I
think
we're
on
the
path
to
go
on
this.
It
is
a
it's
a
very
complex
thing
and
it's
unfortunate
it's
in
this
route,
but
it
I
think
I
think
what
we've
I'm
sorry
I,
don't
know
if
you
heard
what
I
said
probably
didn't
matter.
This
is
a
tough
issue,
and
sometimes
you
run
into
these
things.
I
mean
people
who
do
this
all
the
time
in
legislature
and
everything
else
I
mean
we
go.
They
go
through
all
kinds
of
iterations
and
things
and
we're.
U
Unfortunately,
we
haven't
had
much
time
to
talk
about
this
before
having
to
to
make
this
decision,
but
we
still
have
some
room
on
it
and
I.
Think.
Overall,
though,
we
have
to
shift
our
Viewpoint
in
terms
of
being
aspirational
and
taking
this
really
seriously
and
knowing
that
this
is
an
important
thing,
and
but
it
sounds
to
me
like
we
could.
U
We
could
go
along
with
this
without
any
real
danger
of
this
being
something
that
would
be
totally
unacceptable
to
us
and
it
it
may,
and
sometimes
these
things,
even
though
you
don't
agree
with
all
that
you
you
need
to
be
in
the
game
and
if
it
goes
through
it's
going
to
go
through.
We
need
to
be
there
and
it's
better
to
be
working
in
it
rather
than
sitting
on
the
outside
making
complaints
or
whatever
that
is
still
going
to
be
ignored.
U
I
think
Bellevue
can
have
a
great
effect
on
it.
If
we
come
up,
if
we
work
on
a
strategy
that
really
takes
advantage
of
the
very
positive
parts
of
this
and
the
aspirational
we
have
to
get
get
in
our
heads,
we
need
to
do
something
about
this,
because
otherwise
it's
just
going
to
haunt
us
forever
at
the
same
when
at
the
same
time
do
what
we
can
to
get
changes
and
and
to
make
it
better
and
work
on
it.
B
Thank
you,
member
Berg,
still
I'm
just
going
to
reiterate
my
point
that
I
don't
think
this.
This
is
the
end-all
approach
to
creating
housing
for
our
community
and
for
the
region.
I
hope
we
look
at
everything
and
not
just
this
program
here,
because
I
think
there's
a
whole
lot
more
to
it
than
just
this
I.
D
Did
just
to
be
clear
on
process
going
forward,
so
you
can
bring
this
back
just
you
said
you
would
like
some
additional
time
to
look
in
this
two
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
further.
So
when
we
have
an
opportunity,
then
to
discuss
this
one.
Last
time
before
we
take
a
last
vote
on
ratification.
W
Yes,
if
the
council
would
like
to
do
that,
we
can
bring
it
back
to
you
on
under
ordinances
and
resolutions,
okay,
rather
than
on
consent.
Okay,
very.
D
B
To
just
ask
staff
to
prepare
the
resolution
and
then
they
can
bring
it
back
as
they
said,
I.
D
D
D
B
All
I'll
say
nay,
no,
so
we
have
two
five
is
that
is
that
right,
correct,
okay,
all
right!
Thank
you
and
again
I
appreciate
the
the
thoughtful
discussion
and
with
oh
hold
on
there's
I've
got
something
I
gotta
say
what
would
you
do?
You
want
to
say
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
B
Two
things
on
our
in
our
packet.
We
have
intergovernmental
Affairs
report
written
by
Mrs,
Genesee
Atkins,
and
it's
a
very
good
read
so
I
recommend
that
you
all
look
at
that
and
if
you
have
any
comments
or
questions,
please
let
her
know
and
we
will
not
be
having
a
meeting
on
October
2nd.
So
our
next
meeting
will
be
October
9th
and
with
that
we
are
adjourned.
