STAFF, AND I WILL BE PROVIDING 

64
00:03:40,119 --> 00:03:43,089
AN OVERVIEW AND PROPOSED POLICY 

65
00:03:43,089 --> 00:03:48,695
CONSIDERATIONS FOR OH BUDGET 

66
00:03:48,695 --> 00:03:49,229
PROPOSED 2027 2028 BUDGET 

67
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:52,966
OVERALL. OH BUDGET IS QUITE 

68
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:55,368
STABLE FROM THE 2026 ADOPTED 

69
00:03:55,368 --> 00:04:00,139
BUDGET FOR BOTH 2020. FOR BOTH 

70
00:04:00,139 --> 00:04:01,007
2027 AND 2028, THE MOST 

71
00:04:01,007 --> 00:04:04,744
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IS A 14% 

72
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:06,579
REDUCTION IN THE HOME OWNERSHIP 

73
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:10,617
AND SUSTAINABILITY BSL, AND THAT

74
00:04:10,617 --> 00:04:13,653
IS PRIMARILY DUE OR ONLY DUE TO 

75
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:16,322
A REMOVAL OF A 3.41 TIME 

76
00:04:16,322 --> 00:04:18,257
APPROPRIATION. SO THAT WAS A 

77
00:04:18,257 --> 00:04:20,893
$3.4 MILLION APPROPRIATION IN 

78
00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:26,866
THE 2026 BUDGET THAT WAS REMOVED

79
00:04:26,866 --> 00:04:27,500
FROM THE 2027 PROPOSED BUDGET, 

80
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:28,835
AND THE OVERALL IMPACT IN TERMS 

81
00:04:28,835 --> 00:04:31,204
OF THE PERCENTAGE OF THE 

82
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:31,838
DECREASE IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE 

83
00:04:31,838 --> 00:04:34,907
THE OVERALL AMOUNT OF 

84
00:04:34,907 --> 00:04:36,643
APPROPRIATION FOR HOME OWNERSHIP

85
00:04:36,643 --> 00:04:40,880
AND SUSTAINABILITY IS RELATIVELY

86
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,883
LOW. THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO 

87
00:04:43,883 --> 00:04:49,589
FTES AND OH FROM THE 2026 

88
00:04:49,589 --> 00:04:52,692
ADOPTED BUDGET TO 2027 OR 2028. 

89
00:04:52,692 --> 00:04:55,061
A COUPLE NOTES ON THE REVENUE 

90
00:04:55,061 --> 00:04:55,495
SIDE, THE JUMPSTART 

91
00:04:55,495 --> 00:04:57,263
APPROPRIATION REMAINS 

92
00:04:57,263 --> 00:05:00,300
CONSISTENT. GENERALLY, AROUND 

93
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,201
140 MILLION. AGAIN, FROM WHAT 

94
00:05:02,201 --> 00:05:03,269
WAS IN THE 2026 ADOPTED BUDGET 

95
00:05:03,269 --> 00:05:07,640
TO WHAT'S IN THE PROPOSED 

96
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,241
BUDGET FOR BOTH YEARS. OTHER 

97
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:09,108
MAJOR SOURCES OF FUNDING IN THAT

98
00:05:09,108 --> 00:05:11,411
OTHER ROW INCLUDE THE HOUSING 

99
00:05:11,411 --> 00:05:14,514
LEVY AT ABOUT $138 MILLION 

100
00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:16,916
ANNUALLY AND MANDATORY HOUSING 

101
00:05:16,916 --> 00:05:19,519
AFFORDABILITY FEES, WHICH ARE 

102
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:20,153
CURRENTLY BUDGETED AT ABOUT $20 

103
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:24,724
MILLION ANNUALLY. I DO WANT TO 

104
00:05:24,724 --> 00:05:26,759
TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO TALK ABOUT

105
00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:28,428
THE YEAR END SUPPLEMENTAL, WHICH

106
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:29,529
IS ACTUALLY WHERE WE SEE THE 

107
00:05:29,529 --> 00:05:32,031
MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO OH 

108
00:05:32,031 --> 00:05:35,968
BUDGET. THE YEAR END 

109
00:05:35,968 --> 00:05:38,738
SUPPLEMENTAL REDUCES OH 

110
00:05:38,738 --> 00:05:42,075
JUMPSTART APPROPRIATION BY $65 

111
00:05:42,075 --> 00:05:43,976
MILLION. THIS IS THE BEGINNING 

112
00:05:43,976 --> 00:05:46,679
OF A CHANGE TO BASING OH ANNUAL 

113
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:50,650
JUMPSTART APPROPRIATION MOSTLY 

114
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:52,585
OR LARGELY, LET'S SAY, LARGELY 

115
00:05:52,585 --> 00:05:54,754
ON ITS CASH EXPENDITURE NEEDS. 

116
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:55,855
OVERALL. AND I DO WANT TO SAY 

117
00:05:55,855 --> 00:05:56,723
WITH THE SECOND BULLET POINT, I 

118
00:05:56,723 --> 00:05:58,591
WANT TO SOFTEN IT A BIT. I 

119
00:05:58,591 --> 00:06:00,326
DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY 

120
00:06:00,326 --> 00:06:01,694
THAT THE EXECUTIVE'S OVERALL 

121
00:06:01,694 --> 00:06:04,764
GOAL IS ONLY TO CARRY FORWARD 

122
00:06:04,764 --> 00:06:06,332
FOR THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES, BUT 

123
00:06:06,332 --> 00:06:10,737
I THINK IT IS MOVING TO A MODEL 

124
00:06:10,737 --> 00:06:13,339
WHERE IT IS CARRYING FORWARD 

125
00:06:13,339 --> 00:06:13,873
FUNDING BASED ON CERTAIN 

126
00:06:13,873 --> 00:06:14,407
PURPOSES AND SORT OF 

127
00:06:14,407 --> 00:06:16,109
THOUGHTFULLY, RATHER THAN 

128
00:06:16,109 --> 00:06:16,976
ASSUMING 100% OF ALL DOLLAR 

129
00:06:16,976 --> 00:06:18,745
AMOUNTS WILL BE CARRIED FORWARD.

130
00:06:18,745 --> 00:06:21,581
AND AT THIS POINT, THE EXECUTIVE

131
00:06:21,581 --> 00:06:23,783
KNOWS THAT IT WOULD CARRY 

132
00:06:23,783 --> 00:06:26,953
FORWARD AT LEAST THE MINIMUM 

133
00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:27,587
NEEDED FOR MULTIFAMILY CAPITAL 

134
00:06:27,587 --> 00:06:28,354
EXPENDITURES IN THE NEXT FISCAL 

135
00:06:28,354 --> 00:06:32,458
YEAR IN ANY AWARDED UNSPENT HOME

136
00:06:32,458 --> 00:06:33,092
OWNERSHIP FUNDS. AND THE NOTE 

137
00:06:33,092 --> 00:06:34,761
THAT I WANT TO MAKE HERE IS THAT

138
00:06:34,761 --> 00:06:36,596
THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE 

139
00:06:36,596 --> 00:06:39,165
FROM PAST PRACTICE IN WHICH PAST

140
00:06:39,165 --> 00:06:44,570
PRACTICE HAS BEEN 100% OF ALL 

141
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:47,473
AVAILABLE. JUMPSTART AT OH IS 

142
00:06:47,473 --> 00:06:48,107
CARRIED FORWARD EACH YEAR. AND 

143
00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:49,609
THIS HAS MEANT ESSENTIALLY THAT 

144
00:06:49,609 --> 00:06:51,644
WHEN OH HAS MADE A FUNDING 

145
00:06:51,644 --> 00:06:53,279
AWARD, THE AMOUNT FOR THAT 

146
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,848
FUNDING AWARD HAS BEEN RESERVED 

147
00:06:55,848 --> 00:06:57,450
AND IS NOT USED FOR ANY OTHER 

148
00:06:57,450 --> 00:07:00,953
PURPOSE. AND THIS REDUCTION OF 

149
00:07:00,953 --> 00:07:04,490
OH IS PET BY 65 MILLION MEANS 

150
00:07:04,490 --> 00:07:06,659
THAT THERE IS A CHANGE IN 

151
00:07:06,659 --> 00:07:08,394
STRATEGY NOW IN WHICH OH WILL BE

152
00:07:08,394 --> 00:07:11,197
MAKING OR COULD MAKE PET AWARDS 

153
00:07:11,197 --> 00:07:15,535
THAT WILL BE PAID FOR WITH 

154
00:07:15,535 --> 00:07:16,102
FUTURE YEAR APPROPRIATIONS, 

155
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:17,303
INSTEAD OF THE CURRENT YEAR 

156
00:07:17,303 --> 00:07:18,604
APPROPRIATION THAT IS THEN 

157
00:07:18,604 --> 00:07:20,239
CARRIED FORWARD UNTIL IT IS 

158
00:07:20,239 --> 00:07:25,178
DRAWN DOWN. THE EXECUTIVE'S 

159
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:27,880
POSITION IS THAT THIS IS NOT A 

160
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,248
DECREASE OVER THE SORRY. THE 

161
00:07:29,248 --> 00:07:30,283
EXECUTIVE'S POSITION IS THAT 

162
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:31,551
WHILE THIS IS A DECREASE OVER 

163
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:33,052
THE LONG TERM, IN THE SHORT 

164
00:07:33,052 --> 00:07:35,588
TERM, IT WILL NOT IMPACT CAPITAL

165
00:07:35,588 --> 00:07:37,723
INVESTMENT LEVELS. CAPITAL 

166
00:07:37,723 --> 00:07:39,692
AWARDS OR THE SPEED OF 

167
00:07:39,692 --> 00:07:40,226
CONSTRUCTION FOR AWARDED 

168
00:07:40,226 --> 00:07:41,828
PROJECTS. AND THEY CITE THIS 

169
00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:44,430
PRIMARILY BECAUSE OH IS 

170
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:47,633
JUMPSTART APPROPRIATION IS HELD 

171
00:07:47,633 --> 00:07:48,801
CONSISTENT AT 140 MILLION IN THE

172
00:07:48,801 --> 00:07:51,003
2027 AND 2028 PROPOSED BUDGET 

173
00:07:51,003 --> 00:07:53,406
AND THE OUT YEARS. I DO WANT TO 

174
00:07:53,406 --> 00:07:56,175
STATE HERE IT'S DIFFICULT, IF 

175
00:07:56,175 --> 00:07:57,977
NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO. FOR CENTRAL 

176
00:07:57,977 --> 00:08:00,613
STAFF TO VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF 

177
00:08:00,613 --> 00:08:03,549
THE STATEMENT BECAUSE IN TRUTH, 

178
00:08:03,549 --> 00:08:04,150
THE IMPACT OF THE $65 MILLION 

179
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:06,352
REDUCTION DEPENDS IN LARGE PART 

180
00:08:06,352 --> 00:08:09,422
ON FUTURE DECISIONS. IT DEPENDS 

181
00:08:09,422 --> 00:08:13,159
ON IF THAT APPROPRIATION IS HELD

182
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:15,161
STEADY AT 140 MILLION. THAT IN 

183
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:17,797
PART DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS 

184
00:08:17,797 --> 00:08:18,397
WITH JUMPSTART REVENUES OVER 

185
00:08:18,397 --> 00:08:19,732
TIME. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS 

186
00:08:19,732 --> 00:08:22,435
ASSUMPTION ASSUMES THAT THE 

187
00:08:22,435 --> 00:08:24,604
EXECUTIVE WILL PUT MONEY INTO 

188
00:08:24,604 --> 00:08:27,206
THE ANNUAL NOTICE OF FUNDING 

189
00:08:27,206 --> 00:08:28,574
AVAILABILITY THAT GOES OUT FOR 

190
00:08:28,574 --> 00:08:30,610
OH. IT WILL BE WILLING TO 

191
00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:32,545
INCLUDE PET FUNDING IN THAT 

192
00:08:32,545 --> 00:08:34,780
NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY, 

193
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:35,982
KNOWING THAT IT WILL BE PAID FOR

194
00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:38,217
WITH FUTURE YEAR EXPENDITURES. 

195
00:08:38,217 --> 00:08:39,619
SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF 

196
00:08:39,619 --> 00:08:41,153
QUESTIONS HERE AROUND WHAT THE 

197
00:08:41,153 --> 00:08:43,422
LONG TERM IMPACT OF THIS CHANGE 

198
00:08:43,422 --> 00:08:51,397
IS I WILL NOW TALK THROUGH THREE

199
00:08:51,397 --> 00:08:52,498
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS. AND THESE

200
00:08:52,498 --> 00:08:54,300
ARE ALL RELATED TO THIS CHANGE 

201
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:56,269
IN THE YEAR END SUPPLEMENTAL 

202
00:08:56,269 --> 00:08:57,837
THAT WE JUST DISCUSSED. AND THE 

203
00:08:57,837 --> 00:09:01,741
MOVE TO MAKING PET AWARDS FOR 

204
00:09:01,741 --> 00:09:03,609
MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS BASED ON 

205
00:09:03,609 --> 00:09:04,176
FUTURE YEAR APPROPRIATIONS. 

206
00:09:04,176 --> 00:09:05,344
-- AND THANKS, JEN. I'M JUST 

207
00:09:05,344 --> 00:09:06,078
GOING TO NOTE WE HAVE 

208
00:09:06,078 --> 00:09:07,880
COUNCILMEMBER LIN AND VICE CHAIR

209
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:08,881
RIVERA. AND JUST CLARIFYING, 

210
00:09:08,881 --> 00:09:10,416
WHEN YOU SAY PET, YOU'RE 

211
00:09:10,416 --> 00:09:12,018
REFERRING TO JUMPSTART. 

212
00:09:12,018 --> 00:09:12,618
-- JUMPSTART. 

213
00:09:12,618 --> 00:09:13,619
-- YEP. THANK YOU. 

214
00:09:13,619 --> 00:09:14,387
-- JUST WE'LL USE THAT GOING 

215
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:14,654
FORWARD. 

216
00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:17,056
-- NO, YOU'RE FINE. 

217
00:09:17,056 --> 00:09:18,824
-- OH. SO THE FIRST POLICY 

218
00:09:18,824 --> 00:09:22,395
CONSIDERATION IS THAT BASING. OH

219
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:22,962
JUMPSTART APPROPRIATION ON 

220
00:09:22,962 --> 00:09:24,430
ANNUAL CASH EXPENDITURE NEEDS. I

221
00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:28,167
SAY ONLY HERE, BUT I SHOULD SAY 

222
00:09:28,167 --> 00:09:28,768
LARGELY WILL REQUIRE CAREFUL 

223
00:09:28,768 --> 00:09:33,472
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT. OH WILL BE

224
00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:33,906
USING A FUTURE YEAR 

225
00:09:33,906 --> 00:09:35,374
APPROPRIATIONS TO PAY FOR 

226
00:09:35,374 --> 00:09:37,209
COMMITMENTS MADE IN THE CURRENT 

227
00:09:37,209 --> 00:09:38,978
YEAR. SO AS AN EXAMPLE, THAT 

228
00:09:38,978 --> 00:09:41,547
MEANS OH MAY MAKE AN AWARD IN 

229
00:09:41,547 --> 00:09:43,449
2027 WITH JUMPSTART FUNDING THAT

230
00:09:43,449 --> 00:09:46,485
THEY DON'T HAVE THE CASH FOR IN

231
00:09:46,485 --> 00:09:48,054
2027, AND THEY ARE PLANNING ON 

232
00:09:48,054 --> 00:09:50,590
USING FUTURE YEAR APPROPRIATIONS

233
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:54,627
IN 2028, 2029, 2023, 20 2030 TO 

234
00:09:54,627 --> 00:09:58,497
PAY FOR THAT OBLIGATION. WHEN 

235
00:09:58,497 --> 00:09:59,031
ESSENTIALLY CONSTRUCTION 

236
00:09:59,031 --> 00:09:59,699
INVOICES GET SUBMITTED TO OH AND

237
00:09:59,699 --> 00:10:03,703
THEY NEED TO PAY ON THEM OH IN 

238
00:10:03,703 --> 00:10:05,438
THE CITY BUDGET OFFICE WILL NEED

239
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:08,507
A STRONG SYSTEM FOR MONITORING 

240
00:10:08,507 --> 00:10:10,876
EXPENDITURES AND A STRONG 

241
00:10:10,876 --> 00:10:11,444
METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING 

242
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:12,845
JUMPSTART AMOUNTS TO BE INCLUDED

243
00:10:12,845 --> 00:10:15,147
IN THE ANNUAL MULTIFAMILY NOTICE

244
00:10:15,147 --> 00:10:19,685
OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY, SO THAT

245
00:10:19,685 --> 00:10:20,319
THERE IS ASSURANCE THAT THE CITY

246
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,120
WILL HAVE A FUTURE YEAR 

247
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,989
APPROPRIATIONS TO PAY FOR THE 

248
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:24,857
OBLIGATIONS THAT IT'S MAKING IN

249
00:10:24,857 --> 00:10:26,892
THE CURRENT YEAR. OPTIONS FOR 

250
00:10:26,892 --> 00:10:28,894
COUNCIL ARE ADOPT A STATEMENT OF

251
00:10:28,894 --> 00:10:30,596
LEGISLATIVE INTENT OR SLI, 

252
00:10:30,596 --> 00:10:32,398
REQUESTING THAT OH PROVIDE 

253
00:10:32,398 --> 00:10:34,767
QUARTERLY BUDGET TO ACTUAL 

254
00:10:34,767 --> 00:10:36,569
INFORMATION AND QUARTERLY 

255
00:10:36,569 --> 00:10:37,103
UPDATES TO ITS PROJECTED 

256
00:10:37,103 --> 00:10:38,537
EXPENDITURE PROJECTIONS, ALONG 

257
00:10:38,537 --> 00:10:40,840
WITH AN EXPLANATION OF ANY 

258
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,342
REFINEMENTS OH HAS MADE TO 

259
00:10:43,342 --> 00:10:46,112
PROJECTING PROJECT EXPENDITURES 

260
00:10:46,112 --> 00:10:48,814
OPTION B ADOPT A SLI REQUESTING 

261
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:52,151
THAT OH INFORM COUNCIL PRIOR TO 

262
00:10:52,151 --> 00:10:52,718
THE PUBLICATION OF THE 2027 

263
00:10:52,718 --> 00:10:54,053
MULTIFAMILY NOFA OF THE AMOUNT 

264
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,421
AND PURPOSE OF ANY JUMPSTART 

265
00:10:55,421 --> 00:10:57,256
INCLUDED IN THAT NOFA AND 

266
00:10:57,256 --> 00:10:58,391
PROVIDE THE METHODOLOGY FOR HOW 

267
00:10:58,391 --> 00:11:00,593
THIS AMOUNT WAS DETERMINED. AND 

268
00:11:00,593 --> 00:11:01,660
AGAIN, THE REASON THAT THIS 

269
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:03,529
WOULD BE IMPORTANT WAS THAT 

270
00:11:03,529 --> 00:11:06,399
COUNCIL COULD HAVE INSIGHT INTO 

271
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:07,233
ESSENTIALLY FUTURE YEAR COMMIT 

272
00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:09,535
OR COMMITMENTS THAT THE 

273
00:11:09,535 --> 00:11:11,971
EXECUTIVE WOULD MAKE WITH FUTURE

274
00:11:11,971 --> 00:11:13,305
YEAR APPROPRIATIONS. AND OPTION 

275
00:11:13,305 --> 00:11:19,111
C IS NO CHANGE. THE SECOND 

276
00:11:19,111 --> 00:11:25,117
POLICY CONSIDERATION IS AROUND 

277
00:11:25,117 --> 00:11:25,751
MAKING AWARDS BASED ON OH FUTURE

278
00:11:25,751 --> 00:11:26,385
JUMPSTART APPROPRIATIONS, WHICH 

279
00:11:26,385 --> 00:11:27,653
MIGHT REQUIRE UNKNOWN FUTURE 

280
00:11:27,653 --> 00:11:29,088
TRADE OFFS IF JUMPSTART REVENUES

281
00:11:29,088 --> 00:11:31,190
DECLINE, THE CITY WILL NEED TO 

282
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:32,992
MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS ABOUT 

283
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:35,294
REDUCING FUNDING AND OTHER 

284
00:11:35,294 --> 00:11:37,029
PRIORITY AREAS SO THE CITY CAN 

285
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:38,097
MEET ITS PUBLIC AND LEGAL 

286
00:11:38,097 --> 00:11:39,265
OBLIGATIONS. JUST TO WALK 

287
00:11:39,265 --> 00:11:42,034
THROUGH THIS FOR A MINUTE, WHEN 

288
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:43,169
OH MAKES THE FUNDING AWARD, THE 

289
00:11:43,169 --> 00:11:46,105
FIRST THING THEY DO IS ISSUE AN 

290
00:11:46,105 --> 00:11:48,274
AWARD LETTER AND HOUSING 

291
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:49,208
DEVELOPERS, ONCE THEY HAVE THAT 

292
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:51,410
AWARD LETTER IN HAND, USE IT TO 

293
00:11:51,410 --> 00:11:52,044
LINE UP OTHER FUNDING. WE'RE 

294
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:54,647
SORT OF FIRST FUNDER IN, AND 

295
00:11:54,647 --> 00:11:56,816
BECAUSE THEY HAVE OH FUNDING, 

296
00:11:56,816 --> 00:11:59,318
THEY PROBABLY BEGIN TO INCUR 

297
00:11:59,318 --> 00:11:59,952
MORE PRE-DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. 

298
00:11:59,952 --> 00:12:01,087
SO THAT AWARD LETTER HAS MEANING

299
00:12:01,087 --> 00:12:02,555
TO THE DEVELOPER, AND THEY ARE 

300
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:04,023
GOING TO TAKE ON SOME COSTS AND 

301
00:12:04,023 --> 00:12:05,191
SOME RISKS WHEN THEY HAVE IT IN 

302
00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:07,760
HAND. IT'S NOT YET A LEGALLY 

303
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,062
BINDING CONTRACT, BUT I THINK 

304
00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:11,464
IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT THERE 

305
00:12:11,464 --> 00:12:13,599
COULD BE LEGAL RISKS TO 

306
00:12:13,599 --> 00:12:17,503
RESCINDING AN AWARD WITHOUT GOOD

307
00:12:17,503 --> 00:12:18,771
REASON. 12 TO 24 MONTHS LATER, 

308
00:12:18,771 --> 00:12:20,940
OH WILL EXECUTE A LEGALLY 

309
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:24,844
BINDING AGREEMENT WITH THE 

310
00:12:24,844 --> 00:12:25,945
HOUSING PROVIDER FOR FUNDING. 

311
00:12:25,945 --> 00:12:27,746
AND AT THAT POINT, THE CITY'S 

312
00:12:27,746 --> 00:12:30,449
COMMITMENT IS LEGALLY BINDING, 

313
00:12:30,449 --> 00:12:34,653
AND BACKING OUT OF IT WOULD 

314
00:12:34,653 --> 00:12:36,388
OBVIOUSLY HAVE REPERCUSSIONS. SO

315
00:12:36,388 --> 00:12:36,989
COUNCIL MAY FIND ITSELF IN A 

316
00:12:36,989 --> 00:12:38,390
POSITION, OR THE CITY MAY FIND 

317
00:12:38,390 --> 00:12:39,592
ITSELF IN A POSITION IN FUTURE 

318
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:42,094
YEARS IN WHICH WE HAVE MADE BOTH

319
00:12:42,094 --> 00:12:45,397
PUBLIC AND LEGAL OBLIGATIONS TO 

320
00:12:45,397 --> 00:12:46,765
A PROJECT. BUT DEPENDING ON WHAT

321
00:12:46,765 --> 00:12:50,536
HAPPENS WITH JUMPSTART REVENUE 

322
00:12:50,536 --> 00:12:52,037
MAY SEE AVAILABLE REVENUE 

323
00:12:52,037 --> 00:12:53,439
CHANGE. AND SO THE CITY MAY HAVE

324
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:55,040
TO BE PREPARED AT THAT POINT TO 

325
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,343
MAKE TRADE OFFS UNKNOWN AT THIS 

326
00:12:57,343 --> 00:12:58,477
TIME IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MEET

327
00:12:58,477 --> 00:13:01,147
ITS PUBLIC AND LEGAL 

328
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:02,948
OBLIGATIONS. OPTIONS HERE ARE. 

329
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:05,351
ADOPT A SLI REQUESTING THE OH 

330
00:13:05,351 --> 00:13:07,019
INFORM COUNCIL PRIOR TO THE 

331
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:09,555
PUBLICATION OF THE 2027 

332
00:13:09,555 --> 00:13:10,656
MULTIFAMILY NOFA OF THE AMOUNT 

333
00:13:10,656 --> 00:13:12,124
AND PURPOSE OF ANY JUMPSTART 

334
00:13:12,124 --> 00:13:13,659
INCLUDED IN THAT NOFA. AND 

335
00:13:13,659 --> 00:13:16,529
AGAIN, THE GOAL HERE IS JUST FOR

336
00:13:16,529 --> 00:13:18,564
COUNCIL TO HAVE AWARENESS AND BE

337
00:13:18,564 --> 00:13:20,232
INFORMED OF WHAT TYPES AND THE 

338
00:13:20,232 --> 00:13:22,434
EXTENT OF ANY ESSENTIALLY FUTURE

339
00:13:22,434 --> 00:13:23,802
YEAR COMMITMENTS. IT IS THE 

340
00:13:23,802 --> 00:13:25,871
EXECUTIVE IS MAKING THAT WILL 

341
00:13:25,871 --> 00:13:27,473
IMPACT FUTURE BUDGET DECISIONS, 

342
00:13:27,473 --> 00:13:33,345
OR OPTION B IS NO CHANGE OPTION 

343
00:13:33,345 --> 00:13:35,714
THREE IS THAT BASING OH 

344
00:13:35,714 --> 00:13:36,348
JUMPSTART APPROPRIATION LARGELY 

345
00:13:36,348 --> 00:13:39,718
ON ANNUAL CASH EXPENDITURE NEEDS

346
00:13:39,718 --> 00:13:41,687
MAY IMPACT OH ABILITY TO REACT 

347
00:13:41,687 --> 00:13:43,689
NIMBLY TO EMERGING PROVIDER 

348
00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:45,157
NEEDS. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL 

349
00:13:45,157 --> 00:13:48,894
YEARS, OH HAS BEEN ABLE TO 

350
00:13:48,894 --> 00:13:49,461
QUICKLY RESPOND TO EMERGING 

351
00:13:49,461 --> 00:13:50,129
PROVIDER NEEDS AS THEY ARE ABLE 

352
00:13:50,129 --> 00:13:51,797
TO DECIDE IN REAL TIME, IF 

353
00:13:51,797 --> 00:13:55,100
AVAILABLE, JUMPSTART SHOULD BE 

354
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:55,634
PRIORITIZED TO STABILIZE 

355
00:13:55,634 --> 00:13:57,069
EXISTING PROPERTIES OR BE 

356
00:13:57,069 --> 00:13:59,171
AWARDED FOR NEW CAPITAL 

357
00:13:59,171 --> 00:13:59,805
PROJECTS. THAT INCLUDES, OVER 

358
00:13:59,805 --> 00:14:02,174
THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, $28 

359
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:04,610
MILLION IN URGENT OPERATING 

360
00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:06,011
SUPPORT LOANS, OVER $50 MILLION 

361
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:07,479
IN DEBT, RESTRUCTURE LOANS THAT 

362
00:14:07,479 --> 00:14:09,949
HELP TO STABILIZE EXISTING 

363
00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:10,683
PROPERTIES. I FORGET THE EXACT 

364
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:12,418
NUMBER, BUT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT

365
00:14:12,418 --> 00:14:14,153
OF WHAT WE CALL SUPPLEMENTAL 

366
00:14:14,153 --> 00:14:16,655
INVESTMENTS TO HELP PROJECTS 

367
00:14:16,655 --> 00:14:18,557
THAT HAVE SEEN THEIR 

368
00:14:18,557 --> 00:14:19,191
CONSTRUCTION COSTS INCREASE OR 

369
00:14:19,191 --> 00:14:21,894
THAT NEED ASSISTANCE TO, SAY, 

370
00:14:21,894 --> 00:14:22,528
CONVERT FROM THEIR CONSTRUCTION 

371
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:23,429
LOAN TO THEIR PERMANENT 

372
00:14:23,429 --> 00:14:26,632
FINANCING. AND IT IS REALLY BEEN

373
00:14:26,632 --> 00:14:27,099
THE CARRY FORWARD OF 

374
00:14:27,099 --> 00:14:27,800
APPROPRIATIONS FROM YEAR TO YEAR

375
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,969
THAT HAS ALLOWED OH TO BE ABLE 

376
00:14:29,969 --> 00:14:33,772
TO REACT NIMBLY AND QUICKLY TO 

377
00:14:33,772 --> 00:14:36,675
EMERGING NEEDS, AND THAT 

378
00:14:36,675 --> 00:14:38,777
OPPORTUNITY WILL LIKELY BE MORE 

379
00:14:38,777 --> 00:14:41,480
LIMITED UNDER THIS NEW SCENARIO.

380
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,482
OPTIONS HERE. A COUNCIL COULD 

381
00:14:43,482 --> 00:14:44,116
ADOPT THE SLIDE REQUESTING THE 

382
00:14:44,116 --> 00:14:45,951
OH INFORM THEM PRIOR TO THE 

383
00:14:45,951 --> 00:14:48,287
PUBLICATION OF THE 2027 

384
00:14:48,287 --> 00:14:49,188
MULTIFAMILY NOFA OF THE AMOUNT 

385
00:14:49,188 --> 00:14:51,190
AND PURPOSE OF ANY JUMPSTART. 

386
00:14:51,190 --> 00:14:53,926
OH, I THINK I HAVE AN ERROR 

387
00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:55,294
HERE. I THINK THAT HERE THE 

388
00:14:55,294 --> 00:15:00,299
OPTION WOULD BE THAT THE SLI 

389
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:02,167
COULD REQUEST INFORMATION FROM 

390
00:15:02,167 --> 00:15:04,069
THE EXECUTIVE ABOUT HOW THEY 

391
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:05,337
RESPONDED TO PROVIDER NEEDS IN 

392
00:15:05,337 --> 00:15:06,538
2027, AND HOW THEY PLAN TO 

393
00:15:06,538 --> 00:15:08,107
RESPOND TO THEM IN 2028. AND I 

394
00:15:08,107 --> 00:15:10,809
WILL STOP THERE. THANK YOU. 

395
00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:12,311
-- THANK YOU, JENNIFER AND 

396
00:15:12,311 --> 00:15:13,345
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER IS CHAIR OF

397
00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:13,946
THE COMMITTEE OVERSEEING THE 

398
00:15:13,946 --> 00:15:14,713
DEPARTMENT. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED TO

399
00:15:14,713 --> 00:15:15,781
KICK US OFF, AND THEN I'LL TAKE

400
00:15:15,781 --> 00:15:18,584
OTHER COMMENTS. ALSO, 

401
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:20,185
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE JOINED US 

402
00:15:20,185 --> 00:15:20,919
DURING POLICY CONSIDERATIONS AS 

403
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:22,421
WELL. THANK YOU. 

404
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:23,522
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR. 

405
00:15:23,522 --> 00:15:24,223
THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR 

406
00:15:24,223 --> 00:15:25,858
STRAUSS. AND AS ALWAYS, THANK 

407
00:15:25,858 --> 00:15:26,759
YOU, JEN. IT'S A PLEASURE TO 

408
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:30,229
GET TO WORK WITH YOU EVERY DAY. 

409
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:31,830
I WILL JUST SAY, I KNOW FROM MY 

410
00:15:31,830 --> 00:15:32,965
PERSPECTIVE, I THINK THIS CHANGE

411
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:35,367
IS SOMETHING WE HEARD A GOOD 

412
00:15:35,367 --> 00:15:37,102
AMOUNT ABOUT DURING PUBLIC 

413
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:39,371
COMMENT. AND IN TERMS OF THE 

414
00:15:39,371 --> 00:15:41,507
SWITCH IN THE ACCOUNTING PROCESS

415
00:15:41,507 --> 00:15:42,508
AND SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN ON MY

416
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:43,242
MIND. I KNOW, JEN, YOU AND I 

417
00:15:43,242 --> 00:15:46,278
HAVE TALKED ABOUT IS REALLY 

418
00:15:46,278 --> 00:15:48,180
AROUND THE THE ACTIONS THAT 

419
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:51,450
COUNCIL MIGHT TAKE NOW OR IN THE

420
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:53,152
FUTURE THAT COULD HAVE THIS 

421
00:15:53,152 --> 00:15:53,786
CHANGE, YOU KNOW, EITHER HAVE 

422
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:54,753
MORE OF AN IMPACT OR SORT OF 

423
00:15:54,753 --> 00:15:56,121
LESSEN THE IMPACT. AND I THINK 

424
00:15:56,121 --> 00:15:57,656
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU, YOU 

425
00:15:57,656 --> 00:15:59,725
SPOKE TO EARLIER WAS THAT THE 

426
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:01,460
IMPACT OF THIS SHIFT DEPENDS 

427
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:04,663
LARGELY ON FUTURE DECISIONS. AND

428
00:16:04,663 --> 00:16:07,099
SO CAN YOU JUST SHARE WHAT 

429
00:16:07,099 --> 00:16:09,435
FUTURE DECISIONS MIGHT RESULT IN

430
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:11,203
SORT OF MINIMIZING THE IMPACT OF

431
00:16:11,203 --> 00:16:13,339
THIS SHIFT OR LESSENING THE RISK

432
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:14,940
VERSUS THOSE THAT MIGHT RESULT 

433
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:18,477
IN INCREASING THE RISK 

434
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:21,180
-- I THINK SOME FUTURE DECISIONS

435
00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:24,049
COULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE HOW 

436
00:16:24,049 --> 00:16:26,518
MUCH OF OH JUMPSTART 

437
00:16:26,518 --> 00:16:28,988
APPROPRIATION IS CARRIED FORWARD

438
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:32,191
EACH YEAR, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW 

439
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:33,659
IN THE IN THE 2026 YEAR END 

440
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:35,861
SUPPLEMENTAL, THE DECISION OR 

441
00:16:35,861 --> 00:16:37,229
WHAT'S PROPOSED IN THE YEAR END

442
00:16:37,229 --> 00:16:39,498
SUPPLEMENTAL IS TO SIGNIFICANTLY

443
00:16:39,498 --> 00:16:41,867
REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF OH P 

444
00:16:41,867 --> 00:16:43,802
JUMPSTART APPROPRIATION THAT 

445
00:16:43,802 --> 00:16:45,437
WILL BE CARRIED FORWARD FROM 

446
00:16:45,437 --> 00:16:46,705
2026 INTO 2027. THAT'S THE END 

447
00:16:46,705 --> 00:16:48,140
IMPACT. THAT'S THE IMPACT OF 

448
00:16:48,140 --> 00:16:50,576
REDUCING THEIR APPROPRIATION BY 

449
00:16:50,576 --> 00:16:51,643
65 MILLION. IT'S NOT CLEAR, YOU

450
00:16:51,643 --> 00:16:53,779
KNOW, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE 

451
00:16:53,779 --> 00:16:59,518
FUTURE IF OH HAS MAYBE STILL 

452
00:16:59,518 --> 00:17:00,652
REMAINING AVAILABLE. JUMPSTART 

453
00:17:00,652 --> 00:17:02,421
APPROPRIATION AT THE END OF 

454
00:17:02,421 --> 00:17:03,522
2026. IT'S NOT CLEAR WHAT WILL 

455
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:04,123
HAPPEN WITH THAT. WILL IT BE 

456
00:17:04,123 --> 00:17:05,958
CARRIED FORWARD IN THE CARRY 

457
00:17:05,958 --> 00:17:06,992
FORWARD ORDINANCE IN THE FIRST 

458
00:17:06,992 --> 00:17:10,362
QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR, OR WILL 

459
00:17:10,362 --> 00:17:11,063
THE EXECUTIVE NOT CARRY IT 

460
00:17:11,063 --> 00:17:12,131
FORWARD AND USE IT FOR ANOTHER 

461
00:17:12,131 --> 00:17:13,999
PURPOSE? AND THE SAME QUESTION 

462
00:17:13,999 --> 00:17:15,067
EXISTS FOR 2027 AND 2028. RIGHT.

463
00:17:15,067 --> 00:17:18,270
AND SO THAT'S ONE PLACE WHERE 

464
00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:19,438
THERE'S JUST UNCERTAINTY ABOUT 

465
00:17:19,438 --> 00:17:21,673
WHAT WILL HAPPEN. I THINK OTHER 

466
00:17:21,673 --> 00:17:25,477
ONES ARE WE WE CAN SEE IN THE 

467
00:17:25,477 --> 00:17:27,646
2028 PROPOSED BUDGET AND THE 

468
00:17:27,646 --> 00:17:28,147
FINANCIAL PLAN THAT THE 

469
00:17:28,147 --> 00:17:29,681
EXECUTIVE HAS PROPOSED KEEPING 

470
00:17:29,681 --> 00:17:30,916
THE APPROPRIATION AT 140 

471
00:17:30,916 --> 00:17:32,217
MILLION. BUT OBVIOUSLY, THOSE 

472
00:17:32,217 --> 00:17:33,252
ARE FUTURE BUDGET YEARS. WE 

473
00:17:33,252 --> 00:17:34,086
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO 

474
00:17:34,086 --> 00:17:35,754
HAPPEN TO JUMPSTART REVENUE. WE 

475
00:17:35,754 --> 00:17:36,889
CAN'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT 

476
00:17:36,889 --> 00:17:38,457
THAT IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN. AND I 

477
00:17:38,457 --> 00:17:42,428
THINK THE FINAL ONE IS JUST THIS

478
00:17:42,428 --> 00:17:45,030
WHOLE PLAN IS BASED ON THE IDEA 

479
00:17:45,030 --> 00:17:46,565
THAT WE WILL PUT OUT A NOFA IN 

480
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:48,000
WHICH WE WILL MAKE MONEY 

481
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,667
AVAILABLE, FOR WHICH WE DO NOT 

482
00:17:48,667 --> 00:17:50,369
HAVE THE CURRENT YEAR 

483
00:17:50,369 --> 00:17:51,937
APPROPRIATION. RIGHT. AND 

484
00:17:51,937 --> 00:17:53,972
THAT'S HOW WE SORT OF HOLD 

485
00:17:53,972 --> 00:17:56,108
HARMLESS THE IMPACT TO HOUSING 

486
00:17:56,108 --> 00:17:57,976
OVER THE LONG TERM. AND THE 

487
00:17:57,976 --> 00:17:59,845
PROOF WILL BE IN THE PUDDING 

488
00:17:59,845 --> 00:18:02,881
WHEN WE SEE THE 2027 MULTIFAMILY

489
00:18:02,881 --> 00:18:06,251
NOFA ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THAT 

490
00:18:06,251 --> 00:18:06,585
HAS HAPPENED. 

491
00:18:06,585 --> 00:18:07,820
-- THANK YOU, JEN, I APPRECIATE 

492
00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:08,787
THAT. AND THE ONLY OTHER 

493
00:18:08,787 --> 00:18:10,956
QUESTION I HAVE IS I KNOW WE'RE

494
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:14,726
NOT ALONE IN THIS APPROACH IN 

495
00:18:14,726 --> 00:18:17,796
TERMS OF THE, I GUESS, THE 

496
00:18:17,796 --> 00:18:18,430
FORWARD FUNDING APPROACH. AND SO

497
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:19,731
I KNOW SOMETHING WE'VE 

498
00:18:19,731 --> 00:18:22,401
DISCUSSED IS JUST OTHER THERE 

499
00:18:22,401 --> 00:18:23,001
ARE SOME OTHER JURISDICTIONS 

500
00:18:23,001 --> 00:18:24,470
THAT HAVE A SIMILAR PRACTICE. 

501
00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:25,471
AND IF YOU CAN JUST SPEAK SORT 

502
00:18:25,471 --> 00:18:29,141
OF BRIEFLY TO WHAT WE'VE LEARNED

503
00:18:29,141 --> 00:18:29,775
ABOUT OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT 

504
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:31,343
HAVE A SIMILAR PRACTICE. 

505
00:18:31,343 --> 00:18:33,545
-- YEAH, I'VE TALKED TO THREE 

506
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:35,247
JURISDICTIONS. I TALKED TO SAN 

507
00:18:35,247 --> 00:18:37,015
FRANCISCO, THE LOCAL HOUSING 

508
00:18:37,015 --> 00:18:38,450
DEPARTMENT THERE. THEY DO NOT DO

509
00:18:38,450 --> 00:18:40,018
THIS AND IN FACT, HAVE SAID 

510
00:18:40,018 --> 00:18:41,253
THAT, YOU KNOW, THE ADVICE THAT 

511
00:18:41,253 --> 00:18:43,088
THEY HAVE RECEIVED, INCLUDING 

512
00:18:43,088 --> 00:18:46,125
FROM LEGAL ADVICE, IS THAT IS 

513
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:46,758
THAT NOT TO CARRY FORWARD 

514
00:18:46,758 --> 00:18:48,560
FUNDING LIKE THIS NOW, YOU KNOW,

515
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,561
THAT'S CALIFORNIA. THEY MIGHT BE

516
00:18:49,561 --> 00:18:50,062
WORKING UNDER DIFFERENT 

517
00:18:50,062 --> 00:18:53,031
FRAMEWORK, I CAN'T SAY, BUT I 

518
00:18:53,031 --> 00:18:54,600
THINK THEY ALSO EVALUATED IT AS 

519
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,801
BEING MORE HIGH RISK THAN THEY 

520
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:58,070
WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH AS A

521
00:18:58,070 --> 00:18:58,704
DEPARTMENT. I ALSO TALKED TO THE

522
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:00,706
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, STATE 

523
00:19:00,706 --> 00:19:01,306
WASHINGTON, WASHINGTON STATE 

524
00:19:01,306 --> 00:19:02,608
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE. THEY 

525
00:19:02,608 --> 00:19:03,175
DON'T HAVE THE STATUTORY 

526
00:19:03,175 --> 00:19:04,776
AUTHORITY TO DO IT. SO IT'S SORT

527
00:19:04,776 --> 00:19:05,878
OF A NON QUESTION. I DID TALK TO

528
00:19:05,878 --> 00:19:08,714
KING COUNTY. THEY FORWARD 

529
00:19:08,714 --> 00:19:10,082
COMMIT, BUT I REALLY WANT TO 

530
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:12,351
EMPHASIZE IT'S ON A MUCH MORE 

531
00:19:12,351 --> 00:19:14,253
LIMITED AND CONTROLLED BASIS. 

532
00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:15,654
AND SO WHAT KING COUNTY IS 

533
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:16,355
WILLING TO DO IS TO PUT OUT AND 

534
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:17,523
THEY'RE DOING THIS CURRENTLY. 

535
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:19,958
LIKE THEY PUT OUT A NOFA IN 

536
00:19:19,958 --> 00:19:22,494
2026, A NOTICE OF FUNDING 

537
00:19:22,494 --> 00:19:23,562
AVAILABILITY WITH 2027 FUNDS. SO

538
00:19:23,562 --> 00:19:24,329
THEY'RE WILLING TO LIKE, BET 

539
00:19:24,329 --> 00:19:26,632
AHEAD A LITTLE BIT THAT THEY, 

540
00:19:26,632 --> 00:19:28,634
EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE THAT

541
00:19:28,634 --> 00:19:30,035
APPROPRIATION YET, BUT ONCE THEY

542
00:19:30,035 --> 00:19:31,570
AWARD THOSE FUNDS, THEY PUT 

543
00:19:31,570 --> 00:19:32,804
THOSE FUNDS IN RESERVE AND THEY 

544
00:19:32,804 --> 00:19:33,972
HOLD ON TO THEM AND THEY WILL 

545
00:19:33,972 --> 00:19:37,175
GET CARRIED FORWARD FROM YEAR TO

546
00:19:37,175 --> 00:19:38,343
YEAR. SO IT'S, IT'S, I THINK 

547
00:19:38,343 --> 00:19:40,712
IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT VERSION 

548
00:19:40,712 --> 00:19:42,447
THAN WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED 

549
00:19:42,447 --> 00:19:42,648
HERE. 

550
00:19:42,648 --> 00:19:43,615
-- THANK YOU. AND I ASKED THAT 

551
00:19:43,615 --> 00:19:44,616
QUESTION JUST ONLY BECAUSE I 

552
00:19:44,616 --> 00:19:46,785
THINK THERE ARE LIKELY THINGS 

553
00:19:46,785 --> 00:19:47,886
THAT STEPS THAT WE MAY TAKE OR 

554
00:19:47,886 --> 00:19:49,855
WE MAY CONSIDER TO HELP ENSURE 

555
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,191
THAT AS WE MAKE THIS ONE TIME 

556
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:54,059
SHIFT THAT'S NECESSARY, GIVEN 

557
00:19:54,059 --> 00:19:54,660
THE REALLY CHALLENGING BUDGET 

558
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:56,261
ENVIRONMENT THAT WE WERE IN. AND

559
00:19:56,261 --> 00:19:57,029
I KNOW WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT 

560
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:59,865
THAT A LOT DURING THIS PROCESS 

561
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:02,134
WITH A $175 MILLION DEFICIT THAT

562
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:04,002
WE'RE LOOKING, AS A COUNCIL AT 

563
00:20:04,002 --> 00:20:05,771
OUR OPTIONS TO MINIMIZE THE 

564
00:20:05,771 --> 00:20:07,072
IMPACT. AND I THINK I HEARD ONE 

565
00:20:07,072 --> 00:20:08,674
OF THE THINGS BEING DECISIONS 

566
00:20:08,674 --> 00:20:12,311
THAT WE COULD MAKE IN THE FUTURE

567
00:20:12,311 --> 00:20:12,911
AROUND REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF 

568
00:20:12,911 --> 00:20:13,512
CARRY FORWARD IF WE HAVE THAT 

569
00:20:13,512 --> 00:20:15,380
OPPORTUNITY, IF THE BUDGET 

570
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:17,082
ALLOWS US, OR ENSURING THAT 

571
00:20:17,082 --> 00:20:18,317
THOSE DOLLARS ARE HELD IN 

572
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:19,384
RESERVE OR THAT THEY ARE 

573
00:20:19,384 --> 00:20:21,420
COMMITTED AGAIN, ALSO MINIMIZES 

574
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:23,422
THE RISK OF THIS. THIS 

575
00:20:23,422 --> 00:20:25,490
NECESSARY, BUT I THINK 

576
00:20:25,490 --> 00:20:26,091
CHALLENGING SHIFT THAT IS IN 

577
00:20:26,091 --> 00:20:27,059
FRONT OF US. SO THANK YOU SO 

578
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:28,327
MUCH FOR THAT. 

579
00:20:28,327 --> 00:20:29,161
-- MAY I ADD ONE OTHER THING 

580
00:20:29,161 --> 00:20:31,496
TOO, IF THAT'S OKAY, CHAIR, 

581
00:20:31,496 --> 00:20:33,699
WHICH IS THAT I DO WANT TO SAY 

582
00:20:33,699 --> 00:20:34,666
THAT THERE IS A JUMPSTART 

583
00:20:34,666 --> 00:20:35,934
RESERVE. TOM SPENT QUITE A BIT 

584
00:20:35,934 --> 00:20:37,402
OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THIS 

585
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,805
YESTERDAY, SO THERE'S A 

586
00:20:39,805 --> 00:20:42,374
JUMPSTART SORT OF REVENUE 

587
00:20:42,374 --> 00:20:43,008
STABILIZATION ACCOUNT THAT'S 

588
00:20:43,008 --> 00:20:43,775
BELOW THE LINE. IT'S PART OF 

589
00:20:43,775 --> 00:20:44,743
THOSE PLANNING RESERVES. BUT 

590
00:20:44,743 --> 00:20:46,778
THAT IS SORT OF ANOTHER 

591
00:20:46,778 --> 00:20:48,247
CONTINGENCY PLAN HERE IN TERMS 

592
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:49,581
OF THE STRATEGY AND SOMETHING 

593
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:51,850
THE EXECUTIVE HAS CITED SEVERAL 

594
00:20:51,850 --> 00:20:52,084
TIMES. 

595
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:53,251
-- THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 

596
00:20:53,251 --> 00:20:54,353
-- ANYTHING ELSE? 

597
00:20:54,353 --> 00:20:54,953
-- COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER THANK 

598
00:20:54,953 --> 00:20:56,054

599
00:20:56,054 --> 00:20:56,655
-- WE'VE GOT COUNCILMEMBER 

600
00:20:56,655 --> 00:20:59,458
JUAREZ FOLLOWED BY COUNCILMEMBER

601
00:20:59,458 --> 00:21:05,664
LIN. 

602
00:21:05,664 --> 00:21:06,298
-- OKAY, SORRY ABOUT THAT. I WAS

603
00:21:06,298 --> 00:21:06,932
TRYING TO GET MY FACTS STRAIGHT.

604
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:10,569
THANK YOU, MISTER CHAIR SO I WAS

605
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:13,238
LOOKING BACK AT OUR NOTES FROM 

606
00:21:13,238 --> 00:21:17,609
SEPTEMBER 20, SEPTEMBER 29th, 

607
00:21:17,609 --> 00:21:20,479
AND WE WENT THROUGH THE THE 

608
00:21:20,479 --> 00:21:21,346
MAYOR'S ANALYSIS OF OFFICE OF 

609
00:21:21,346 --> 00:21:22,714
HOUSING. AND WE WENT THROUGH THE

610
00:21:22,714 --> 00:21:23,982
NUMBERS. SO I WANT TO SOME OF 

611
00:21:23,982 --> 00:21:25,951
OUR QUESTIONS GOT ANSWERED IN 

612
00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:26,585
THE MEANTIME, BUT I JUST WANT TO

613
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:31,423
GO BACK TO REFRESH MEMORY HERE. 

614
00:21:31,423 --> 00:21:32,090
I GUESS MY MAIN CONCERN AND THIS

615
00:21:32,090 --> 00:21:34,159
WENT UP WITH WHEN THEY WERE 

616
00:21:34,159 --> 00:21:35,360
ATTEMPTING TO DO THE SHELTER 

617
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:36,862
LEGISLATION AND THE MONEY WHERE 

618
00:21:36,862 --> 00:21:39,998
THAT WAS GOING TO COME FROM. SO 

619
00:21:39,998 --> 00:21:44,303
AS YOU KNOW, BACK IN 2019, UNDER

620
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,805
MAYOR DURKAN, WE SPENT $65 

621
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:49,541
MILLION IN 2019 TO BUY 8.5 ACRES

622
00:21:49,541 --> 00:21:52,411
FOR NORTHGATE COMMONS. IT'S A 

623
00:21:52,411 --> 00:21:54,913
LOW INCOME, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, 

624
00:21:54,913 --> 00:21:57,482
I THINK 60 AM. AYE. AND THERE 

625
00:21:57,482 --> 00:22:00,118
WERE THREE BUILDINGS THERE. AND 

626
00:22:00,118 --> 00:22:01,520
SO WE BOUGHT THAT. THOSE 

627
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,187
BUILDINGS ARE COMING DOWN AND 

628
00:22:02,187 --> 00:22:04,189
THEY'RE GOING TO BE REPLACED 

629
00:22:04,189 --> 00:22:05,590
WITH SIX BUILDINGS, SIX WHAT 

630
00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:08,493
THEY CALL SIX STACKS. AND OF THE

631
00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:09,194
SO THE FOLKS THAT WERE LIVING 

632
00:22:09,194 --> 00:22:12,330
THERE GET TO COME BACK, WHICH IS

633
00:22:12,330 --> 00:22:13,665
GREAT. AND OF THE SIX STACKS, 

634
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:15,000
THREE OF THEM WILL BE MARKET 

635
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,403
RATE. HOPEFULLY WORKING WITH 

636
00:22:18,403 --> 00:22:20,072
SEATTLE HOUSING AND OFFICE OF 

637
00:22:20,072 --> 00:22:21,573
HOUSING WITH THE GROCERY STORE 

638
00:22:21,573 --> 00:22:23,608
PRE K AND A COMMUNITY GATHERING 

639
00:22:23,608 --> 00:22:24,810
SPOT. ET-CETERA. AND ALSO MAKING

640
00:22:24,810 --> 00:22:25,711
SURE THAT WE HAVE WASHING 

641
00:22:25,711 --> 00:22:29,614
MACHINE AND DRYERS IN THE UNITS.

642
00:22:29,614 --> 00:22:30,549
AND THEN THAT'S FOR THE I'M 

643
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:32,117
SORRY FOR THAT'S THE THREE FOR 

644
00:22:32,117 --> 00:22:33,452
MARKET RATE AND THEN THREE FOR 

645
00:22:33,452 --> 00:22:35,821
THE QUOTE, UNQUOTE, AFFORDABLE 

646
00:22:35,821 --> 00:22:37,055
HOUSING. AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, 

647
00:22:37,055 --> 00:22:41,093
FORMER RESIDENTS COME BACK. AND 

648
00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:43,328
IT'S ALSO ALSO BEING CALLED 

649
00:22:43,328 --> 00:22:43,962
WORKFORCE HOUSING. AND IT ADDS 

650
00:22:43,962 --> 00:22:47,032
UP TO 1400 UNITS, WHICH IS HUGE.

651
00:22:47,032 --> 00:22:48,800
AND IT'S WONDERFUL BECAUSE 

652
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,436
IT'LL BE RIGHT BETWEEN 

653
00:22:51,436 --> 00:22:51,970
NORTHGATE LIGHT RAIL AND 

654
00:22:51,970 --> 00:22:54,039
PINEHURST AND THE WHOLE POINT OF

655
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:55,073
TRANSIT ORIENTED HOUSING. THIS 

656
00:22:55,073 --> 00:22:57,375
IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON 

657
00:22:57,375 --> 00:22:58,777
FOR A DECADE. AND, YOU KNOW, 

658
00:22:58,777 --> 00:23:00,512
GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT'S DUE.

659
00:23:00,512 --> 00:23:02,647
I WANT TO THANK MAYOR DURKAN AND

660
00:23:02,647 --> 00:23:03,782
ALSO COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, 

661
00:23:03,782 --> 00:23:05,250
BECAUSE SHE WAS INVOLVED IN THIS

662
00:23:05,250 --> 00:23:07,352
AS WELL. WHEN WE GOT THE 65 

663
00:23:07,352 --> 00:23:09,387
MILLION TO BUY IT AND TO WORK 

664
00:23:09,387 --> 00:23:10,021
WITH SEATTLE HOUSING AUTHORITY. 

665
00:23:10,021 --> 00:23:11,556
AND AT THE TIME, ANDREW LOFTON 

666
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:13,058
WAS A HAIR SEATTLE HOUSING 

667
00:23:13,058 --> 00:23:14,993
AUTHORITY AND WORKED WITH US. 

668
00:23:14,993 --> 00:23:16,695
AND THEY'RE NOW OR HE'S BEEN 

669
00:23:16,695 --> 00:23:17,796
GREAT. EVERYONE HAS BEEN GREAT. 

670
00:23:17,796 --> 00:23:21,466
SO MY POINT IS THIS. SO WE HAD A

671
00:23:21,466 --> 00:23:24,836
COMMITMENT FROM HOUSING BECAUSE 

672
00:23:24,836 --> 00:23:26,972
IT'S STILL BEING DEVELOPED FOR 

673
00:23:26,972 --> 00:23:29,808
20 MILLION. AND THEN LONG STORY 

674
00:23:29,808 --> 00:23:31,610
SHORT, WE AGREED TO ALLOW THE 

675
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:32,577
MAYOR'S OFFICE TO HAVE 5 

676
00:23:32,577 --> 00:23:33,879
MILLION. WHEN THEY WERE LOOKING 

677
00:23:33,879 --> 00:23:41,586
AT THE SHELTER ISSUE AND THEN 

678
00:23:41,586 --> 00:23:42,220
SOME ISSUES HAPPENED IN BETWEEN.

679
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:43,588
SO LONG STORY SHORT, WE'RE DOWN

680
00:23:43,588 --> 00:23:46,725
TO A PROMISE FROM THE MAYOR'S 

681
00:23:46,725 --> 00:23:50,495
OFFICE THAT THERE WILL BE A $15 

682
00:23:50,495 --> 00:23:51,096
MILLION COMMITMENT STILL, AND 

683
00:23:51,096 --> 00:23:53,098
THAT 5 MILLION IS SUPPOSED TO BE

684
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:54,633
REPLENISHED AT SOME POINT. SO I 

685
00:23:54,633 --> 00:23:56,234
HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY STRAIGHT 

686
00:23:56,234 --> 00:23:58,270
ANSWERS SINCE THEN. SO AND I 

687
00:23:58,270 --> 00:24:00,839
KNOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT 

688
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:02,240
THIS. I WANT TO KNOW AND MAKE 

689
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,542
SURE THAT I GET IT ON THE 

690
00:24:03,542 --> 00:24:05,410
RECORD, ESPECIALLY AFTER I'M 

691
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:06,878
GONE. THAT NORTHGATE COMMONS IS 

692
00:24:06,878 --> 00:24:10,148
A COMMITMENT THAT WE MADE IN 

693
00:24:10,148 --> 00:24:12,751
2019 FOR 1400 UNITS OF 

694
00:24:12,751 --> 00:24:14,286
AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE, HOUSING 

695
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:15,887
MARKET RATE AND ALL THE GOOD 

696
00:24:15,887 --> 00:24:16,688
THINGS THAT WE HAD PROMISED THE 

697
00:24:16,688 --> 00:24:19,758
VOTERS AND USED TAXPAYER MONEY 

698
00:24:19,758 --> 00:24:21,460
FOR THAT. WE DON'T START 

699
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:22,794
POACHING THAT MONEY BECAUSE THIS

700
00:24:22,794 --> 00:24:25,864
IS EXACTLY WHY WE PASSED. WELL, 

701
00:24:25,864 --> 00:24:27,365
SOME PEOPLE CALL IT JUMPSTART 

702
00:24:27,365 --> 00:24:28,400
AMAZON, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO 

703
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,069
CALL IT. THIS IS THE REASON WHY 

704
00:24:31,069 --> 00:24:31,803
WE PASSED. THIS IS SO THE MONEY 

705
00:24:31,803 --> 00:24:36,041
COULD GO TO DEVELOP THIS TYPE OF

706
00:24:36,041 --> 00:24:38,577
HOUSING AROUND TRANSIT ORIENTED 

707
00:24:38,577 --> 00:24:39,578
DEVELOPMENT NEXT TO A HOSPITAL, 

708
00:24:39,578 --> 00:24:40,612
NEXT TO A COLLEGE, NEXT TO A 

709
00:24:40,612 --> 00:24:42,247
SCHOOL, AND ALSO PUT IN THE 

710
00:24:42,247 --> 00:24:44,382
AMENITIES LIKE A PRE-K, A 

711
00:24:44,382 --> 00:24:46,418
GROCERY STORE, ALL THE THINGS 

712
00:24:46,418 --> 00:24:48,253
THAT YOU NEED. SO YOU CAN NOT 

713
00:24:48,253 --> 00:24:49,821
HAVE TO HAVE A CAR, BUT YOU CAN 

714
00:24:49,821 --> 00:24:51,456
DO EVERYTHING THERE. AND WE'VE 

715
00:24:51,456 --> 00:24:53,158
HAD A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT UP AT 

716
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:54,893
NORTHGATE FOR THESE VERY 

717
00:24:54,893 --> 00:24:57,095
REASONS. WITH MARKET RATE AND 

718
00:24:57,095 --> 00:24:58,630
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WORKFORCE 

719
00:24:58,630 --> 00:24:59,898
HOUSING COMING ONLINE. SO I 

720
00:24:59,898 --> 00:25:01,166
GUESS MY QUESTION IS WHAT 

721
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:02,334
GUARANTEES OR WHAT ARE WE 

722
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:04,302
HEARING FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE

723
00:25:04,302 --> 00:25:06,304
ABOUT HONORING THIS COMMITMENT 

724
00:25:06,304 --> 00:25:08,573
WAS 20 MILLION. NOW IT'S 15. 

725
00:25:08,573 --> 00:25:10,141
WHAT ARE OUR COMMITMENT THERE? 

726
00:25:10,141 --> 00:25:11,276
AND, MISTER CHAIR, I WOULD ALSO 

727
00:25:11,276 --> 00:25:14,179
LOOK TO YOU TO MAKE SURE DURING 

728
00:25:14,179 --> 00:25:14,779
THE BUDGET CONVERSATIONS THAT 

729
00:25:14,779 --> 00:25:16,515
THAT COMMITMENT STANDS FOR 

730
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:17,916
WHOEVER HAS THE SEAT AFTER I 

731
00:25:17,916 --> 00:25:20,185
LEAVE. THANK YOU. 

732
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:21,152
-- VERY WELL SAID. AND I'LL 

733
00:25:21,152 --> 00:25:24,656
DIRECT IT TO JENNIFER. NOW, IN 

734
00:25:24,656 --> 00:25:26,391
YOUR POLICY CONSIDERATIONS, 

735
00:25:26,391 --> 00:25:26,925
TALKING ABOUT SLIDES AND 

736
00:25:26,925 --> 00:25:28,159
REPORTING, WOULD SOME OF THIS 

737
00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:30,195
HELP TO ADDRESS COUNCIL 

738
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:31,062
PRESIDENT EMERITUS JUAREZ 

739
00:25:31,062 --> 00:25:33,632
CONCERNS, OR HOW WOULD WE BEST 

740
00:25:33,632 --> 00:25:36,334
ENSURE THAT THOSE PROJECTS AND 

741
00:25:36,334 --> 00:25:38,603
PRIORITIES ARE SEEN THROUGH TO 

742
00:25:38,603 --> 00:25:38,904
COMMITMENT? 

743
00:25:38,904 --> 00:25:40,005
-- THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THAT'S

744
00:25:40,005 --> 00:25:42,674
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. 

745
00:25:42,674 --> 00:25:43,808
WHAT. BESIDES A SLY AND GETTING 

746
00:25:43,808 --> 00:25:44,676
IT ON THE RECORD IN FRONT OF GOD

747
00:25:44,676 --> 00:25:46,444
AND EVERYBODY. WHAT DO WE GOT TO

748
00:25:46,444 --> 00:25:49,514
DO TO HOLD ON TO THIS MONEY TO 

749
00:25:49,514 --> 00:25:50,181
MAKE SURE THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE 

750
00:25:50,181 --> 00:25:51,683
GOING TO BE TEARING THOSE 

751
00:25:51,683 --> 00:25:52,684
BUILDINGS DOWN, CAO FIRE 

752
00:25:52,684 --> 00:25:53,351
DEPARTMENT IS USING THEM NOW, I 

753
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:55,720
BELIEVE. AND I THINK THEY 

754
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,621
STOPPED FOR FIRE EXERCISES. SO I

755
00:25:56,621 --> 00:25:57,656
DRIVE BY THERE ALL THE TIME, AND

756
00:25:57,656 --> 00:25:58,823
I'M REALLY CONCERNED THEY'RE 

757
00:25:58,823 --> 00:25:59,591
GOING TO KEEP POACHING THIS 

758
00:25:59,591 --> 00:26:03,628
MONEY. AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE 

759
00:26:03,628 --> 00:26:05,263
IT'S GOING. 

760
00:26:05,263 --> 00:26:06,765
-- I WILL HAVE A COUPLE 

761
00:26:06,765 --> 00:26:08,633
RESPONSES TO THAT. ONE IS THAT I

762
00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:11,069
CAN SAY OH IS TRACKING THE $15 

763
00:26:11,069 --> 00:26:12,504
MILLION COMMITMENT, FOR EXAMPLE,

764
00:26:12,504 --> 00:26:15,440
IN TERMS OF THIS CHANGE TO 

765
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,808
BASING APPROPRIATIONS ON FUTURE 

766
00:26:16,808 --> 00:26:18,376
YEAR EXPENDITURES, THEY CREATED 

767
00:26:18,376 --> 00:26:20,078
A SEPARATE LINE ITEM FOR 

768
00:26:20,078 --> 00:26:20,745
NORTHGATE. IT'S 15 MILLION. THEY

769
00:26:20,745 --> 00:26:22,647
ARE TRACKING IT. THEY ARE MAKING

770
00:26:22,647 --> 00:26:24,316
SURE THEY HAVE CASH AVAILABLE 

771
00:26:24,316 --> 00:26:25,984
FOR IT. SO THERE IS AWARENESS OF

772
00:26:25,984 --> 00:26:29,788
THAT. I WOULD LOVE TO THINK 

773
00:26:29,788 --> 00:26:32,390
MAYBE OFFLINE ABOUT SOME WAYS TO

774
00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:33,658
HELP ENSURE THAT THAT'S WHAT THE

775
00:26:33,658 --> 00:26:35,594
MONEY GETS USED FOR. I'LL SAY 

776
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:37,529
OUT LOUD, IT MAY NOT MAKE SENSE 

777
00:26:37,529 --> 00:26:40,398
TO PROVISO AT ALL IN 2026 OR 

778
00:26:40,398 --> 00:26:42,233
2027, BECAUSE I'M FRANKLY NOT 

779
00:26:42,233 --> 00:26:42,901
SURE THAT THAT'S WHEN THE MONEY

780
00:26:42,901 --> 00:26:44,869
IS INTENDED TO GO OUT THE DOOR. 

781
00:26:44,869 --> 00:26:46,171
SO I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU 

782
00:26:46,171 --> 00:26:47,572
OFFLINE ABOUT SOME WAYS TO DO 

783
00:26:47,572 --> 00:26:49,207
THAT. I DEFINITELY HEAR THAT 

784
00:26:49,207 --> 00:26:50,375
CONCERN. 

785
00:26:50,375 --> 00:26:54,479
-- CAN I ADD TO THAT? I THINK 

786
00:26:54,479 --> 00:26:55,080
THE SLI IDEA IS TO MAKE SURE 

787
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,182
THAT THE EXPECTED SPENDING IS 

788
00:26:57,182 --> 00:26:58,984
KNOWN AND, AND SHARED WITH THE 

789
00:26:58,984 --> 00:27:00,285
COUNCIL SO THAT THERE'S 

790
00:27:00,285 --> 00:27:00,919
AWARENESS OF THIS GOING FORWARD 

791
00:27:00,919 --> 00:27:02,420
AND THAT THESE HIGH PROFILE 

792
00:27:02,420 --> 00:27:04,322
PROJECTS GET HIGHLIGHTED SO THAT

793
00:27:04,322 --> 00:27:05,690
EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THE PLAN IS 

794
00:27:05,690 --> 00:27:07,058
AND HOW MUCH MONEY IS THERE TO 

795
00:27:07,058 --> 00:27:09,694
SUPPORT IT. WHEN WE'RE TALKING 

796
00:27:09,694 --> 00:27:13,331
ABOUT A FUND SOURCE THAT IS, 

797
00:27:13,331 --> 00:27:13,832
FRANKLY, VERY VOLATILE. 

798
00:27:13,832 --> 00:27:14,699
-- AYE. 

799
00:27:14,699 --> 00:27:15,467
-- OKAY, SO. MR.. 

800
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:17,035
-- OKAY. GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. 

801
00:27:17,035 --> 00:27:18,837
-- I'M SORRY. I WOULD ADD TO 

802
00:27:18,837 --> 00:27:20,972
THAT, OH HAS SPOKEN WITH THE 

803
00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:22,507
SEATTLE HOUSING AUTHORITY, AND 

804
00:27:22,507 --> 00:27:24,409
THE SEATTLE HOUSING AUTHORITY 

805
00:27:24,409 --> 00:27:24,943
HAS AGREED TO SUBMIT AN 

806
00:27:24,943 --> 00:27:27,278
APPLICATION AS PART OF SORT OF 

807
00:27:27,278 --> 00:27:30,181
THE REGULAR NOFA PROCESS FOR 

808
00:27:30,181 --> 00:27:30,782
FUNDING. OH UNDERSTANDS THAT 

809
00:27:30,782 --> 00:27:33,084
THERE IS THIS COMMITMENT TO 

810
00:27:33,084 --> 00:27:34,586
AROUND THE 15 MILLION. BUT IT 

811
00:27:34,586 --> 00:27:35,653
JUST MAKES IT. WE'D HAVE TO DO 

812
00:27:35,653 --> 00:27:38,056
A SEPARATE ORDINANCE ALLOWING 

813
00:27:38,056 --> 00:27:39,557
THIS DIRECT APPROPRIATION. SO I 

814
00:27:39,557 --> 00:27:40,592
THINK THEY DECIDED TOGETHER IT 

815
00:27:40,592 --> 00:27:42,093
MADE SENSE FOR THEM TO COME IN 

816
00:27:42,093 --> 00:27:42,727
THROUGH THE REGULAR PROCESS. SO 

817
00:27:42,727 --> 00:27:46,064
AT SOME POINT THERE WILL BE AN 

818
00:27:46,064 --> 00:27:49,000
AWARD TO THE SEATTLE HOUSING 

819
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:49,601
AUTHORITY FOR THIS 15 MILLION 

820
00:27:49,601 --> 00:27:50,535
FOR THIS PROJECT. I THINK THERE 

821
00:27:50,535 --> 00:27:53,071
ARE SOME QUESTIONS AROUND TIMING

822
00:27:53,071 --> 00:27:53,738
FOR THAT. SO CAL'S POINT AROUND

823
00:27:53,738 --> 00:27:54,673
A SLIDE THAT KIND OF LAYS SOME 

824
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:56,841
OF THIS OUT AND MAKES THE TIMING

825
00:27:56,841 --> 00:27:58,276
VERY TRANSPARENT AND CLEAR COULD

826
00:27:58,276 --> 00:28:00,145
BE HELPFUL 

827
00:28:00,145 --> 00:28:01,379
-- MR. CHAIR, CAN I FOLLOW UP? 

828
00:28:01,379 --> 00:28:02,981
-- YOU'VE GOT THE FLOOR. YEP. 

829
00:28:02,981 --> 00:28:03,248
ALL YOU. 

830
00:28:03,248 --> 00:28:06,151
-- THANK YOU SIR. WELL, FIRST OF

831
00:28:06,151 --> 00:28:06,918
ALL, WE. 

832
00:28:06,918 --> 00:28:07,986
-- I DON'T KNOW IF WE PASSED AN

833
00:28:07,986 --> 00:28:10,588
ORDINANCE, BUT WE DID SOMETHING 

834
00:28:10,588 --> 00:28:12,857
TO FINALIZE THE RELATIONSHIP 

835
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:15,527
BETWEEN OFFICE OF HOUSING IN 

836
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:17,695
SEATTLE. HOUSING AUTHORITY THAT 

837
00:28:17,695 --> 00:28:19,130
THEY WORK TOGETHER. AND THAT WAS

838
00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:21,032
WHEN WE WERE HOLDING AT 20 

839
00:28:21,032 --> 00:28:22,667
MILLION. AND IN LIGHT OF 

840
00:28:22,667 --> 00:28:23,635
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY, INSTEAD 

841
00:28:23,635 --> 00:28:25,336
OF STUPID LAND. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

842
00:28:25,336 --> 00:28:26,471
THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

843
00:28:26,471 --> 00:28:29,307
A COMMITMENT. I WAS GOING TO USE

844
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:30,408
THE WORD TREATY, BUT THAT'S 

845
00:28:30,408 --> 00:28:32,077
PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT TOO 

846
00:28:32,077 --> 00:28:35,280
DRAMATIC, BUT MAYBE NOT FOR THIS

847
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,614
GROUP. WE STARTED OUT WITH THE 

848
00:28:36,614 --> 00:28:39,384
20. WE SPENT $65 MILLION TO BUY 

849
00:28:39,384 --> 00:28:41,186
THIS THING AND TO WORK WITH THE 

850
00:28:41,186 --> 00:28:44,923
GOT A DEVELOPER, EVERYTHING'S 

851
00:28:44,923 --> 00:28:48,059
ONLINE, $65 MILLION AND 19 FOR 

852
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:50,028
8.5 ACRES. MAKING SURE WE HAD 

853
00:28:50,028 --> 00:28:52,330
1400 UNITS. AND THE MAJORITY OF 

854
00:28:52,330 --> 00:28:53,898
THOSE UNITS, 80% ARE FOR 

855
00:28:53,898 --> 00:28:56,367
WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE 

856
00:28:56,367 --> 00:28:57,869
HOUSING. SO WE HAD 20 SITTING 

857
00:28:57,869 --> 00:28:59,370
THERE, FIVE GOT TAKEN OUT FOR 

858
00:28:59,370 --> 00:29:00,605
THE SHELTER THING THAT I DON'T 

859
00:29:00,605 --> 00:29:02,073
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT. BUT 

860
00:29:02,073 --> 00:29:03,041
ANYWAY, THERE'S SOME OTHER 

861
00:29:03,041 --> 00:29:06,611
MONEY THAT GOT SCATTERED. SO 

862
00:29:06,611 --> 00:29:07,178
I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH 

863
00:29:07,178 --> 00:29:08,446
THERE'S A COMMITMENT AND WE'RE

864
00:29:08,446 --> 00:29:11,382
GOING TO WATCH THIS SPACE 

865
00:29:11,382 --> 00:29:13,318
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT RIDING 

866
00:29:13,318 --> 00:29:16,087
HERE. SO YEAH, OKAY, WE'LL DO A

867
00:29:16,087 --> 00:29:17,355
SLIDE, BUT I REALLY WANT TO GO 

868
00:29:17,355 --> 00:29:21,092
ON THE RECORD, PARTICULARLY 

869
00:29:21,092 --> 00:29:21,659
AFTER I'M GONE, THAT THIS 

870
00:29:21,659 --> 00:29:22,393
DOESN'T JUST GO AWAY WHERE WE 

871
00:29:22,393 --> 00:29:24,896
HAVE THIS HUGE EYESORE UP THERE 

872
00:29:24,896 --> 00:29:26,765
WITH A BUNCH OF EMPTY BUILDINGS 

873
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:27,398
THAT ARE THE FENCES ARE AROUND 

874
00:29:27,398 --> 00:29:28,399
THEM, ARE GOING TO TAKE THEM 

875
00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:31,236
DOWN. BUT THIS IS A COMMITMENT 

876
00:29:31,236 --> 00:29:34,205
WE MADE IN 2019. AND SO I'M 

877
00:29:34,205 --> 00:29:35,340
GOING TO LOOK TO MY COLLEAGUES 

878
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:39,110
WHO WILL BE HERE AFTER I LEAVE, 

879
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:41,246
TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS GETS 

880
00:29:41,246 --> 00:29:43,715
DONE. AND WE HAVE MORE THAN WE 

881
00:29:43,715 --> 00:29:45,150
REPLENISH THAT 5 MILLION THAT 

882
00:29:45,150 --> 00:29:46,751
WAS TAKEN THAT THEY SAID THEY 

883
00:29:46,751 --> 00:29:49,788
WOULD. THEY HAVEN'T. AND THAT 

884
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:50,855
THE 20 MILLION STAYS. AND THEN, 

885
00:29:50,855 --> 00:29:52,891
OF COURSE, I KNOW THAT WE'RE 

886
00:29:52,891 --> 00:29:54,392
WE'RE IT'S A MOVING WE'RE NOT

887
00:29:54,392 --> 00:29:56,327
LIKE YOU SAID, COUNCIL, BUDGET 

888
00:29:56,327 --> 00:30:00,732
CHAIR. YOU DON'T YOU DON'T MOVE

889
00:30:00,732 --> 00:30:01,666
DIRT TWICE. AND SO ONCE WE GET 

890
00:30:01,666 --> 00:30:03,234
GOING, WE'RE GOING TO GET GOING.

891
00:30:03,234 --> 00:30:06,137
SO I JUST DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO

892
00:30:06,137 --> 00:30:07,272
HEAR THAT. WELL, THE MAYOR'S 

893
00:30:07,272 --> 00:30:08,506
OFFICE TOOK OUT ANOTHER FIVE OR 

894
00:30:08,506 --> 00:30:09,507
THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD OFF ON 

895
00:30:09,507 --> 00:30:11,409
THAT OR THEY DIDN'T. WE CAN'T 

896
00:30:11,409 --> 00:30:14,179
HAVE THAT. THAT WASN'T THE DEAL

897
00:30:14,179 --> 00:30:15,180
THAT WE MADE IN 2019. SO I WILL 

898
00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:16,881
LEAVE IT AT THAT. AND I WILL 

899
00:30:16,881 --> 00:30:18,716
LOOK TO LEADERSHIP TO HELP ME 

900
00:30:18,716 --> 00:30:20,952
USE WHATEVER TOOLS WE HAVE TO 

901
00:30:20,952 --> 00:30:23,555
GUARANTEE. WE HAVE MORE THAN A 

902
00:30:23,555 --> 00:30:25,590
SOFT COMMITMENT, THAT WE 

903
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:28,092
ACTUALLY MAKE THIS A PRIORITY 

904
00:30:28,092 --> 00:30:29,794
AND HONOR THE 65 MILLION OF 

905
00:30:29,794 --> 00:30:32,130
TAXPAYER MONEY THAT WE USED TO 

906
00:30:32,130 --> 00:30:33,264
BUY THIS TO ENSURE THAT THE LOW 

907
00:30:33,264 --> 00:30:33,898
INCOME PEOPLE THAT WERE LIVING 

908
00:30:33,898 --> 00:30:34,999
THERE GET TO COME BACK BECAUSE 

909
00:30:34,999 --> 00:30:38,236
THEY WANT TO COME BACK, AND THAT

910
00:30:38,236 --> 00:30:39,237
THOSE 1400 UNITS GET BUILT. AND 

911
00:30:39,237 --> 00:30:40,305
AGAIN, I'LL JUST SAY IT AGAIN 

912
00:30:40,305 --> 00:30:42,874
BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME 

913
00:30:42,874 --> 00:30:44,809
THAT 80% OF IT IS FOR WORKFORCE 

914
00:30:44,809 --> 00:30:46,611
AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THAT IS 

915
00:30:46,611 --> 00:30:47,545
EXACTLY WHAT WE PLAN ON DOING. 

916
00:30:47,545 --> 00:30:49,981
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE 

917
00:30:49,981 --> 00:30:50,782
DOING. AND I HOPE, I HOPE THEY I

918
00:30:50,782 --> 00:30:53,351
HOPE THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HONORS 

919
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:55,787
THEIR WORD. THANK YOU. 

920
00:30:55,787 --> 00:30:57,488
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

921
00:30:57,488 --> 00:30:59,290
JUAREZ. I'M GOING TO TURN IT 

922
00:30:59,290 --> 00:31:00,725
OVER TO COUNCILMEMBER LIN, 

923
00:31:00,725 --> 00:31:02,727
FOLLOWED BY COUNCILMEMBER 

924
00:31:02,727 --> 00:31:02,961
KETTLE. 

925
00:31:02,961 --> 00:31:07,599
-- THANK YOU, CHAIR, AND THANK 

926
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:08,833
YOU, COLLEAGUES, FOR THIS 

927
00:31:08,833 --> 00:31:09,634
DISCUSSION. I THINK, YOU KNOW, 

928
00:31:09,634 --> 00:31:13,605
THIS IS A PRETTY BIG CHANGE, 

929
00:31:13,605 --> 00:31:14,205
HAVING WORKED WITH OFFICE OF 

930
00:31:14,205 --> 00:31:16,608
HOUSING BEFORE, MY CURRENT ROLE 

931
00:31:16,608 --> 00:31:18,509
FOR MANY YEARS ON, ON THESE 

932
00:31:18,509 --> 00:31:20,378
ISSUES, THESE AWARD LETTERS, I 

933
00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:21,713
JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT 

934
00:31:21,713 --> 00:31:23,915
THIS IS A BIG DEAL. I ALSO JUST 

935
00:31:23,915 --> 00:31:26,417
WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE KIND OF TO 

936
00:31:26,417 --> 00:31:27,051
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ POINT, YOU 

937
00:31:27,051 --> 00:31:31,122
KNOW, THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE 

938
00:31:31,122 --> 00:31:33,224
WHAT OH FACES, WHERE YOU MIGHT 

939
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:34,592
ISSUE AN AWARD AND IT MIGHT BE A

940
00:31:34,592 --> 00:31:36,060
DECADE LATER BEFORE THOSE FUNDS 

941
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:38,563
ARE REALLY NEEDED. AND HOW DOES 

942
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:40,531
THAT LINE UP WITH OUR BUDGET 

943
00:31:40,531 --> 00:31:41,633
PRACTICES, WHERE WE BUDGET ON A 

944
00:31:41,633 --> 00:31:43,301
YEAR BY YEAR BASIS? AND SO WHAT 

945
00:31:43,301 --> 00:31:46,704
DO WE DO? DO WE DO WE SIT ON 

946
00:31:46,704 --> 00:31:50,842
THAT CASH AND IT CAN GROW AND BE

947
00:31:50,842 --> 00:31:52,677
PRETTY SIGNIFICANT OVER TIME. 

948
00:31:52,677 --> 00:31:54,479
AND SO THERE'S A CHALLENGE 

949
00:31:54,479 --> 00:31:56,481
THERE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, ON THE 

950
00:31:56,481 --> 00:31:58,583
ONE HAND, I APPLAUD SORT OF THE 

951
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:01,386
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE FOR GETTING 

952
00:32:01,386 --> 00:32:03,788
CREATIVE HERE. BUT I ALSO THINK 

953
00:32:03,788 --> 00:32:06,658
WE NEED TO PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY, 

954
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:08,593
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU

955
00:32:08,593 --> 00:32:10,094
KNOW, WE HAVE CERTAIN FUND 

956
00:32:10,094 --> 00:32:11,462
SOURCES LIKE THE, THE HOUSING 

957
00:32:11,462 --> 00:32:12,997
LEVY, WHICH CAN'T BE 

958
00:32:12,997 --> 00:32:13,631
REAPPROPRIATED FOR OTHER 

959
00:32:13,631 --> 00:32:17,869
PURPOSES THAT AND, AND ARE 

960
00:32:17,869 --> 00:32:18,503
PREDICTABLE. BUT OTHER PROCEEDS 

961
00:32:18,503 --> 00:32:19,804
LIKE JUMPSTART ARE NOT 

962
00:32:19,804 --> 00:32:21,339
PREDICTABLE. AND REALLY, YOU 

963
00:32:21,339 --> 00:32:23,241
KNOW, CAN BE REDEPLOYED BY 

964
00:32:23,241 --> 00:32:24,609
FUTURE COUNCILS FOR A NUMBER OF 

965
00:32:24,609 --> 00:32:26,844
PURPOSES. AND SO I AM CONCERNED 

966
00:32:26,844 --> 00:32:31,349
ABOUT I THINK IN SMALL AMOUNTS, 

967
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:32,583
FUTURE COMMITMENTS CAN BE OKAY. 

968
00:32:32,583 --> 00:32:35,219
BUT I'D BE CONCERNED IF IT GREW

969
00:32:35,219 --> 00:32:36,654
TOO LARGE, ESPECIALLY WITH 

970
00:32:36,654 --> 00:32:38,222
CERTAIN FUND SOURCES. AND 

971
00:32:38,222 --> 00:32:39,557
BECAUSE WHEN WE ISSUE AWARD 

972
00:32:39,557 --> 00:32:41,059
LETTERS, OFTENTIMES, YOU KNOW, 

973
00:32:41,059 --> 00:32:43,161
WHEN WE FINALLY BREAK GROUND OR 

974
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:46,431
FINALLY CLOSE, THAT AWARD 

975
00:32:46,431 --> 00:32:48,599
BECOMES LARGER. AND SO I GUESS 

976
00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:50,802
TO, TO THESE POLICY 

977
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:53,137
CONSIDERATIONS AND OPTIONS, I 

978
00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:53,871
APPRECIATE THESE CONSIDERATIONS.

979
00:32:53,871 --> 00:32:55,673
I ALSO JUST KIND OF WONDER, 

980
00:32:55,673 --> 00:32:58,176
MAYBE THERE COULD BE A POLICY 

981
00:32:58,176 --> 00:33:00,445
CONSIDERATION WHERE THERE'S A 

982
00:33:00,445 --> 00:33:02,947
PERCENTAGE, SOME SORT OF LIKE 

983
00:33:02,947 --> 00:33:04,882
CAP ON FUTURE COMMITMENTS AND, 

984
00:33:04,882 --> 00:33:07,585
YOU KNOW, BASED ON SORT OF, YOU 

985
00:33:07,585 --> 00:33:10,088
KNOW, HISTORIC TRENDS, 

986
00:33:10,088 --> 00:33:11,155
ANTICIPATED FUTURE CASH FLOW, 

987
00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:12,790
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO BE 

988
00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:15,393
CAUTIOUS THAT THIS DOESN'T GROW

989
00:33:15,393 --> 00:33:17,061
TOO LARGE AND BECOME AN ISSUE 

990
00:33:17,061 --> 00:33:18,763
FOR FUTURE COUNCILS. THANK YOU. 

991
00:33:18,763 --> 00:33:20,798
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER LIN 

992
00:33:20,798 --> 00:33:23,034

00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:24,702
YOU, COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. 

995
00:33:24,702 --> 00:33:28,072
FOLLOWED BY COUNCIL VICE CHAIR

RIVERA. THANK YOU, CHAIR. 

997
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:34,045
APOLOGIZE ALSO FOR BEING LATE. 

998
00:33:34,045 --> 00:33:36,013

TO, YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST TWO 

1005
00:33:48,493 --> 00:33:52,330
YEARS, WE'VE ASKED FOR A SEATTLE

1006
00:33:52,330 --> 00:33:54,399
HOUSING INVESTMENT PLAN. AND THE

1007
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:56,868
FIRST ONE, YOU KNOW, WAS 

1008
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:57,502
COVERING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING 

1009
00:33:57,502 --> 00:34:00,138
PIECE. AND DID YOU FIND THAT 

1010
00:34:00,138 --> 00:34:00,772
INTERESTING AND INTERESTING AND 

1011
00:34:00,772 --> 00:34:01,439
HELPFUL? ACTUALLY, THE WORD I 

1012
00:34:01,439 --> 00:34:03,174
WAS GOING TO USE HELPFUL IN 

1013
00:34:03,174 --> 00:34:05,343
TERMS OF THE WORK THAT YOU'RE 

1014
00:34:05,343 --> 00:34:06,911
DOING AND IN TERMS OF OVERSEEING

1015
00:34:06,911 --> 00:34:10,848
OH AND HOUSING PORTFOLIO.

00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:15,253

HOUSING INVESTMENT PLAN AND THEN

1019
00:34:16,220 --> 00:34:16,587
ALSO AN UPDATE. 

1020
00:34:16,587 --> 00:34:17,655

00:34:17,655 --> 00:34:19,290
BOTH. OKAY. YOU CAN ANSWER FOR 

1022
00:34:19,290 --> 00:34:21,726
BOTH. 

1023
00:34:21,726 --> 00:34:23,261
-- YEAH. SO REMIND THE AUDIENCE 

1024
00:34:23,261 --> 00:34:25,663
AND COUNCILMEMBERS THAT THERE 

1025
00:34:25,663 --> 00:34:26,798
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE HAD A SLIDE

1026
00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:28,566
THAT ASKED FOR A HOUSING 

1027
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:29,934
INVESTMENT PLAN, WHICH OH 

1028
00:34:29,934 --> 00:34:31,836
SUBMITTED IN 2025, AND THEN A 

1029
00:34:31,836 --> 00:34:33,771
SLY THE FOLLOWING YEAR, ASKING 

1030
00:34:33,771 --> 00:34:37,108
OH TO UPDATE THAT UPDATE, THAT 

1031
00:34:37,108 --> 00:34:37,708
HOUSING INVESTMENT PLAN WITH 

1032
00:34:37,708 --> 00:34:39,544
INFORMATION ABOUT HOUSING 

1033
00:34:39,544 --> 00:34:40,845
PRODUCTION BY EXTERNAL PARTNERS 

1034
00:34:40,845 --> 00:34:43,347
LIKE THE SOCIAL HOUSING SEATTLE 

1035
00:34:43,347 --> 00:34:43,981
SOCIAL HOUSING DEVELOPER OR THE 

1036
00:34:43,981 --> 00:34:45,850
SEATTLE HOUSING AUTHORITY. SO I 

1037
00:34:45,850 --> 00:34:47,351
HAVE FOUND THOSE DOCUMENTS 

1038
00:34:47,351 --> 00:34:48,619
USEFUL. I THINK IT IS HELPFUL 

1039
00:34:48,619 --> 00:34:52,390
FOR THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO 

1040
00:34:52,390 --> 00:34:55,026
ARTICULATE WHAT THEY THINK THAT 

1041
00:34:55,026 --> 00:34:56,294
THEY CAN ACHIEVE WITH THE 

1042
00:34:56,294 --> 00:34:58,162
FUNDING THAT THEY HAVE IN TERMS 

1043
00:34:58,162 --> 00:34:59,530
OF UNIT PRODUCTION AND UNIT BY 

1044
00:34:59,530 --> 00:35:02,834
AM I, AND HOW THAT COMPARES TO 

1045
00:35:02,834 --> 00:35:04,535
THE TARGETS THAT WE NOW HAVE 

1046
00:35:04,535 --> 00:35:06,137
THAT WERE SET BY THE WASHINGTON 

1047
00:35:06,137 --> 00:35:08,106
STATE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE FOR

1048
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:09,807
KING COUNTY, AND THEN 

1049
00:35:09,807 --> 00:35:11,142
APPORTIONED OUT TO THE 

1050
00:35:11,142 --> 00:35:13,044
JURISDICTIONS IN THE COUNTY WIDE

1051
00:35:13,044 --> 00:35:13,945
PLANNING POLICIES. SO IT IS 

1052
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:15,179
HELPFUL TO HAVE ALL THAT IN ONE 

1053
00:35:15,179 --> 00:35:17,114
PLACE. OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, I DO

1054
00:35:17,114 --> 00:35:20,251
WANT TO BE CLEAR. THE THE UNIT 

1055
00:35:20,251 --> 00:35:22,587
GOALS THAT ARE PART OF THAT PLAN

1056
00:35:22,587 --> 00:35:23,855
ARE ALL BASED ON MODELING. THAT 

1057
00:35:23,855 --> 00:35:25,423
MAKES A LOT OF ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT

1058
00:35:25,423 --> 00:35:27,091
THINGS LIKE INTEREST RATES AND 

1059
00:35:27,091 --> 00:35:28,693
TAX CREDIT PRICING. AND, YOU 

1060
00:35:28,693 --> 00:35:29,393
KNOW, AND SOMETIMES IT'S OUT OF

1061
00:35:29,393 --> 00:35:30,728
DATE AS SOON AS IT'S PRINTED, 

1062
00:35:30,728 --> 00:35:33,764
BUT IT'S STILL HELPFUL TO SORT 

1063
00:35:33,764 --> 00:35:34,332
OF SEE WHAT DID WE THINK WE 

1064
00:35:34,332 --> 00:35:36,701
COULD GET. AND THEN IF WE'RE NOT

1065
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:39,504
MEETING THAT, OR WE ARE SORT OF 

1066
00:35:39,504 --> 00:35:40,071
UNDERSTANDING WHAT ARE THE 

1067
00:35:40,071 --> 00:35:41,139
FACTORS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT 

1068
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:43,641
CHANGED THAT SORT OF MADE THE 

1069
00:35:43,641 --> 00:35:46,010
THE OUTCOMES DIFFERENT THAN WHAT

1070
00:35:46,010 --> 00:35:46,477
MIGHT HAVE BEEN FIRST 

1071
00:35:46,477 --> 00:35:47,178
ANTICIPATED? AND THEN I'LL SAY 

1072
00:35:47,178 --> 00:35:49,647
TO THE SECOND PART, YES, IT WAS 

1073
00:35:49,647 --> 00:35:52,450
HELPFUL TO SEE TO BRING IN THE 

1074
00:35:52,450 --> 00:35:54,852
ANTICIPATED HOUSING PRODUCTION 

1075
00:35:54,852 --> 00:35:56,387
FROM OTHER PLAYERS, ESPECIALLY 

1076
00:35:56,387 --> 00:35:57,088
THE SEATTLE SOCIAL HOUSING 

1077
00:35:57,088 --> 00:35:59,490
DEVELOPER. AND SEATTLE HOUSING 

1078
00:35:59,490 --> 00:36:00,625
AUTHORITY. AND I THINK BY DOING 

1079
00:36:00,625 --> 00:36:02,260
THAT, WE SAW SOME INTERESTING 

1080
00:36:02,260 --> 00:36:05,363
TRENDS EMERGE. THE FIRST ONE 

1081
00:36:05,363 --> 00:36:06,898
JUST BEING THAT OBVIOUSLY OUR 

1082
00:36:06,898 --> 00:36:08,633
GREATEST NEED CONTINUES TO BE AT

1083
00:36:08,633 --> 00:36:10,301
THAT 0 TO 50% AMI LEVEL. AND IN 

1084
00:36:10,301 --> 00:36:12,003
FACT, THAT WE MAY BE IN SOME 

1085
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:15,039
WAYS OVER PRODUCING AT THE 50 TO

1086
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:18,576
80, ESPECIALLY THE 80% LEVEL. SO

1087
00:36:18,576 --> 00:36:20,211
IT JUST CAUSES US IT PROVIDES 

1088
00:36:20,211 --> 00:36:22,079
GOOD INFORMATION FOR THE CITY 

1089
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:23,114
COUNCIL AND THE EXECUTIVE TO 

1090
00:36:23,114 --> 00:36:25,216
THINK ABOUT SORT OF WHERE 

1091
00:36:25,216 --> 00:36:27,084
PRIORITIZATION SHOULD BE FOR 

1092
00:36:27,084 --> 00:36:27,385
RESOURCES. 

1093
00:36:27,385 --> 00:36:28,352
-- THANK YOU. 

1094
00:36:28,352 --> 00:36:30,288
-- THANK YOU. 

1095
00:36:30,288 --> 00:36:30,888
-- THAT IS THAT WAS THE GOAL 

1096
00:36:30,888 --> 00:36:32,156
THAT WAS BEHIND THE ORIGINAL 

1097
00:36:32,156 --> 00:36:33,558
INTENT FOR ME TO PUT THAT SLIDE 

1098
00:36:33,558 --> 00:36:35,459
IN AND TO ASK FOR THAT, BECAUSE 

1099
00:36:35,459 --> 00:36:36,794
I DON'T SIT ON THE HOUSING 

1100
00:36:36,794 --> 00:36:39,397
COMMITTEE. PREVIOUS TERM OR THIS

1101
00:36:39,397 --> 00:36:42,033
TERM. AND I JUST FELT WITH MY 

1102
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:44,602
TEAM THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO 

1103
00:36:44,602 --> 00:36:46,237
HAVE THIS BASICALLY REPORT, 

1104
00:36:46,237 --> 00:36:47,371
ALMOST AN INTELLIGENCE REPORT IN

1105
00:36:47,371 --> 00:36:48,739
TERMS OF, HEY, THIS IS THE STATE

1106
00:36:48,739 --> 00:36:51,309
OF PLAY. THIS IS WHAT'S 

1107
00:36:51,309 --> 00:36:52,843
HAPPENING. AND KIND OF HAVING A 

1108
00:36:52,843 --> 00:36:54,378
ONE STOP SHOP APPROACH TO IT. 

1109
00:36:54,378 --> 00:36:55,780
AND I THINK THAT HELPS US IN 

1110
00:36:55,780 --> 00:36:58,849
TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO

1111
00:36:58,849 --> 00:37:01,385
HERE IN BUDGET. AND THEN FOR THE

1112
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:03,287
UPDATED ONE, I DON'T THINK 

1113
00:37:03,287 --> 00:37:04,655
PEOPLE REALLY REALIZE ALL THE 

1114
00:37:04,655 --> 00:37:05,456
OTHER PIECES THAT ARE THERE. YOU

1115
00:37:05,456 --> 00:37:09,560
KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, 

1116
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,194
THERE'S DIFFERENT PIECES LIKE 

1117
00:37:10,194 --> 00:37:12,363
SEATTLE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND 

1118
00:37:12,363 --> 00:37:15,166
THERE'S NOW THE SEATTLE SOCIAL 

1119
00:37:15,166 --> 00:37:16,167
HOUSING DEVELOPER. AND TO KEEP 

1120
00:37:16,167 --> 00:37:18,569
THE BIGGER PICTURE, BECAUSE IF 

1121
00:37:18,569 --> 00:37:20,237
WE IT'S EASY TO GET BORE 

1122
00:37:20,237 --> 00:37:22,239
SIGHTED INTO LIKE LINES ON A 

1123
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,674
BUDGET ITEM. AND THEN YOU'RE 

1124
00:37:23,674 --> 00:37:25,142
JUST OH. BUT IN TERMS OF KEEPING

1125
00:37:25,142 --> 00:37:26,444
THE, THE BIGGER PICTURE AND HOW 

1126
00:37:26,444 --> 00:37:30,181
IT FITS, I THINK IS REALLY 

1127
00:37:30,181 --> 00:37:32,783
HELPFUL. SO I APPRECIATE AYE OH 

1128
00:37:32,783 --> 00:37:33,618
FOR PRODUCING THESE TWO REPORTS,

1129
00:37:33,618 --> 00:37:34,452
AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT

1130
00:37:34,452 --> 00:37:39,390
SHOULD BE ONGOING. AND TWO, THAT

1131
00:37:39,390 --> 00:37:40,057
IT'S HELPFUL FOR CENTRAL STAFF 

1132
00:37:40,057 --> 00:37:41,492
BECAUSE THE MORE WE CAN HELP. 

1133
00:37:41,492 --> 00:37:43,594
CENTRAL STAFF. THAT HELPS 

1134
00:37:43,594 --> 00:37:44,528
CENTRAL STAFF'S ABILITY TO HELP

1135
00:37:44,528 --> 00:37:46,731
US IN TERMS OF DOING OUR JOB. 

1136
00:37:46,731 --> 00:37:49,600
AND SO THAT'S THE INTENT BEHIND

1137
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,069
IT. I RECOGNIZE, YOU KNOW, MY, 

1138
00:37:52,069 --> 00:37:53,971
MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SOCIAL 

1139
00:37:53,971 --> 00:37:54,605
HOUSING DEVELOPER EARLIER WAS, 

1140
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:57,541
YOU KNOW, CREATING A, LET'S SAY,

1141
00:37:57,541 --> 00:37:58,943
A STRONG INTEREST. AND BUT 

1142
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:00,077
THAT'S, THAT'S THE RATIONALE 

1143
00:38:00,077 --> 00:38:01,679
BEHIND IT. I'M NOT GOING TO 

1144
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:02,780
HAVE ANY CHAIR. I'M NOT GOING 

1145
00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:06,817
TO HAVE ANY SEATTLE SOCIAL 

1146
00:38:06,817 --> 00:38:08,185
HOUSING DEVELOPER CBAS COUNCIL 

1147
00:38:08,185 --> 00:38:08,753
BUDGET ACTIONS OR ANYTHING 

1148
00:38:08,753 --> 00:38:10,688
RELATED TO THAT. BUT I DO THINK 

1149
00:38:10,688 --> 00:38:12,390
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO TAKE 

1150
00:38:12,390 --> 00:38:15,226
IT IN AS PART OF OUR 

1151
00:38:15,226 --> 00:38:15,726
CONSIDERATIONS AND OUR 

1152
00:38:15,726 --> 00:38:17,528
UNDERSTANDING OF THE BROADER LAY

1153
00:38:17,528 --> 00:38:20,331
OF THE LAND, IF YOU WILL, TO 

1154
00:38:20,331 --> 00:38:21,666
HELP US MAKE OUR DECISIONS. AND 

1155
00:38:21,666 --> 00:38:22,667
AND, AND I'LL BE KEEPING TRACK 

1156
00:38:22,667 --> 00:38:24,602
ON THAT, TOO. THERE'S A PRESS 

1157
00:38:24,602 --> 00:38:26,837
CONFERENCE LATER THIS WEEK THAT 

1158
00:38:26,837 --> 00:38:28,673
I'LL BE JOINING, BECAUSE THAT 

1159
00:38:28,673 --> 00:38:30,074
INSIGHT IS REALLY HELPFUL. AND, 

1160
00:38:30,074 --> 00:38:31,742
AND PARTICULARLY AS IT 

1161
00:38:31,742 --> 00:38:32,977
INTERSECTS OTHER AREAS AS WELL, 

1162
00:38:32,977 --> 00:38:34,745
BECAUSE AS I'VE SAID AD 

1163
00:38:34,745 --> 00:38:36,213
NAUSEAM, PROBABLY TO SOME 

1164
00:38:36,213 --> 00:38:37,848
PEOPLE'S MINDS. BUT WHEN I TALK

1165
00:38:37,848 --> 00:38:40,084
ABOUT THE SCENE BETWEEN PUBLIC 

1166
00:38:40,084 --> 00:38:41,552
SAFETY, I SAY PUBLIC HEALTH, BUT

1167
00:38:41,552 --> 00:38:42,987
NEXUS HOUSING AND THEN HUMAN 

1168
00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:45,256
SERVICES, THE HOUSING PIECE IS 

1169
00:38:45,256 --> 00:38:46,691
REALLY IMPORTANT TO WHAT WE SEE 

1170
00:38:46,691 --> 00:38:48,459
ON OUR STREETS. AND AND YOU 

1171
00:38:48,459 --> 00:38:50,428
HIGHLIGHTED, YOU KNOW, A POINT 

1172
00:38:50,428 --> 00:38:52,096
THAT I DON'T THINK MOST PEOPLE 

1173
00:38:52,096 --> 00:38:54,432
REALLY UNDERSTAND. IT'S LIKE 

1174
00:38:54,432 --> 00:38:55,032
THE EMPHASIS IS NEEDED. LIKE 

1175
00:38:55,032 --> 00:38:56,233
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OVEREMPHASIS

1176
00:38:56,233 --> 00:38:58,502
ON THE HIGHER AMIS AND LESS ON 

1177
00:38:58,502 --> 00:38:59,336
THE LOWER. AND IT'S LIKE, OKAY,

1178
00:38:59,336 --> 00:39:01,238
HOW DO WE SQUARE THAT CIRCLE? 

1179
00:39:01,238 --> 00:39:03,507
HOW CAN WE, YOU KNOW, MOVE 

1180
00:39:03,507 --> 00:39:04,575
FORWARD? AND THAT'S THE KIND OF

1181
00:39:04,575 --> 00:39:05,476
INSIGHT, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT

1182
00:39:05,476 --> 00:39:06,877
ARE NOT SITTING ON A COMMITTEE 

1183
00:39:06,877 --> 00:39:09,680
IN DEPTH DAY IN AND DAY OUT, YOU

1184
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,617
KNOW, IT'S I THINK I FIND IT TO

1185
00:39:13,617 --> 00:39:15,319
BE HELPFUL. AND SO, SO I 

1186
00:39:15,319 --> 00:39:16,754
APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK. AND IF 

1187
00:39:16,754 --> 00:39:17,822
THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN 

1188
00:39:17,822 --> 00:39:20,291
HELP YOU DO YOUR JOB TO HELP US,

1189
00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:21,192
LET ME KNOW AND I'LL PUT SOME 

1190
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:26,430
MORE IN. BUT I DO THINK THE SHIP

1191
00:39:26,430 --> 00:39:29,100
SEATTLE HOUSING INVESTMENT PLAN,

1192
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:31,602
THE SHIP MARITIME CONNECTION HAS

1193
00:39:31,602 --> 00:39:32,670
JUST BY ACCIDENT, IF THAT'S 

1194
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:36,173
HELPFUL MOVING FORWARD, WE'LL 

1195
00:39:36,173 --> 00:39:38,209
CONTINUE TO DO THAT. THANK YOU. 

1196
00:39:38,209 --> 00:39:39,677
ANYTHING RIGHT NOW FROM CENTRAL 

1197
00:39:39,677 --> 00:39:41,445
STAFF THAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY THAT

1198
00:39:41,445 --> 00:39:43,481
CAN HELP COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE 

1199
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:44,115
AND THESE ENDEAVORS? 

1200
00:39:44,115 --> 00:39:44,949
-- NOT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, 

1201
00:39:44,949 --> 00:39:46,417
BUT I'M REALLY HAPPY TO WORK 

1202
00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:49,120
WITH YOUR OFFICE ON THAT. 

1203
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,521
-- FANTASTIC VICE CHAIR. RIVERA.

1204
00:39:50,521 --> 00:39:52,923
-- THANK YOU, CHAIR, THANKS FOR 

1205
00:39:52,923 --> 00:39:54,291
BEING HERE AND PRESENTING THIS, 

1206
00:39:54,291 --> 00:39:56,694
AND ESPECIALLY FOR PRESENTING 

1207
00:39:56,694 --> 00:40:00,164
THESE POLICY CONSIDERATIONS. 

1208
00:40:00,164 --> 00:40:01,499
COLLEAGUES, SOME OF US MAY 

1209
00:40:01,499 --> 00:40:03,734
REMEMBER THAT WE'VE HAD THIS 

1210
00:40:03,734 --> 00:40:05,035
CONVERSATION AT LEAST AS FAR 

1211
00:40:05,035 --> 00:40:08,239
BACK AS WHEN I STARTED IN 24, IN

1212
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,841
TERMS OF HOW TO BEST MANAGE FOR 

1213
00:40:10,841 --> 00:40:12,376
THIS HOUSING FUND THAT WE HAVE 

1214
00:40:12,376 --> 00:40:14,211
THAT IS QUITE ROBUST. WE'RE 

1215
00:40:14,211 --> 00:40:15,880
ALWAYS IN THIS DEFICIT 

1216
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,047
SITUATION. THOSE FUNDS AREN'T 

1217
00:40:17,047 --> 00:40:19,383
GOING TO BE UTILIZED IN THAT 

1218
00:40:19,383 --> 00:40:20,985
YEAR BECAUSE THESE ARE LONG TERM

1219
00:40:20,985 --> 00:40:23,120
PROJECTS. AND WHETHER WE 

1220
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:24,855
CONTINUE TO LAND BANK THE MONEY 

1221
00:40:24,855 --> 00:40:28,058
TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, IF WE IF

1222
00:40:28,058 --> 00:40:29,360
WE WE HOLD IT IN RESERVES, WE 

1223
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,595
KNOW IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE

1224
00:40:31,595 --> 00:40:34,265
THERE AT A POINT IN TIME WHERE, 

1225
00:40:34,265 --> 00:40:35,332
WHERE THE DEVELOPER WILL NEED 

1226
00:40:35,332 --> 00:40:39,236
IT. OR DO WE DO AS THE MAYOR HAS

1227
00:40:39,236 --> 00:40:40,805
DONE IN THIS CASE, WHICH IS, YOU

1228
00:40:40,805 --> 00:40:45,142
KNOW, A NOT HOLD THE MONEY, BUT 

1229
00:40:45,142 --> 00:40:46,844
BUT MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, YOU 

1230
00:40:46,844 --> 00:40:48,979
KNOW, CONTINUE. OBVIOUSLY, IT'S

1231
00:40:48,979 --> 00:40:52,116
A COMMITMENT WHEN IT'S IN AN 

1232
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:53,451
AWARD LETTER. SO, SO MANY OF US 

1233
00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:55,586
HAVE, AS I SAID, TALKED ABOUT 

1234
00:40:55,586 --> 00:40:56,720
THIS IN THE PAST. AND THE BEST 

1235
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:59,456
WAY OF DOING THIS, BECAUSE IT IS

1236
00:40:59,456 --> 00:41:00,624
NOT ADVANTAGEOUS TO HAVE A POOL 

1237
00:41:00,624 --> 00:41:02,393
OF MONEY SITTING SOMEWHERE WHEN 

1238
00:41:02,393 --> 00:41:03,994
WE HAVE OTHER NEEDS. IF WE CAN 

1239
00:41:03,994 --> 00:41:06,697
MAKE TRUE TO THOSE AWARDS IN THE

1240
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:09,934
FUTURE, WHY NOT USE THAT MONEY 

1241
00:41:09,934 --> 00:41:12,002
NOW? SO WE'VE HAD THE 

1242
00:41:12,002 --> 00:41:14,839
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE REASONS 

1243
00:41:14,839 --> 00:41:17,208
WHY I THINK BOTH TRUTHS CAN. WE 

1244
00:41:17,208 --> 00:41:19,643
CAN SIT WITH BOTH TRUTHS THAT IT

1245
00:41:19,643 --> 00:41:21,145
IS A LOT OF MONEY TO BE 

1246
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:22,646
RESERVING WHEN WE HAVE OTHER 

1247
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:24,615
NEEDS IN COMMUNITY. AND ALSO WE 

1248
00:41:24,615 --> 00:41:26,317
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE 

1249
00:41:26,317 --> 00:41:31,655
THE MONEY AVAILABLE WHEN WE HAVE

1250
00:41:31,655 --> 00:41:35,326
HAVE TO FULFILL OUR COMMITMENTS.

1251
00:41:35,326 --> 00:41:35,759
I REALLY APPRECIATE 

1252
00:41:35,759 --> 00:41:38,262
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ. I DO 

1253
00:41:38,262 --> 00:41:40,064
REMEMBER THIS PROJECT. I'M 

1254
00:41:40,064 --> 00:41:40,598
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS 

1255
00:41:40,598 --> 00:41:43,667
PROJECT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT IN

1256
00:41:43,667 --> 00:41:46,170
MY DISTRICT, IT'S ADJACENT AND 

1257
00:41:46,170 --> 00:41:47,972
WHAT'S REALLY GREAT ABOUT THIS 

1258
00:41:47,972 --> 00:41:49,773
PROJECT, BESIDES THE FACT THAT 

1259
00:41:49,773 --> 00:41:50,307
IT'S TRANSIT ORIENTED 

1260
00:41:50,307 --> 00:41:52,643
DEVELOPMENT, IS NORTH SEATTLE 

1261
00:41:52,643 --> 00:41:55,112
COLLEGE IS THERE AS WELL. 

1262
00:41:55,112 --> 00:41:56,313
THERE'S JUST SO MUCH GOING ON 

1263
00:41:56,313 --> 00:41:57,982
IN THAT IN THAT AREA OF THE 

1264
00:41:57,982 --> 00:41:59,350
CITY. AND I THINK THIS PROJECT 

1265
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:03,020
IS REALLY GOING TO JUST MUCH 

1266
00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:04,955
ENHANCE THAT AREA. AND SO I HAVE

1267
00:42:04,955 --> 00:42:07,157
SIMILAR CONCERNS ABOUT ENSURING 

1268
00:42:07,157 --> 00:42:08,592
THAT THE MONEY IS THERE TO 

1269
00:42:08,592 --> 00:42:09,727
COMPLETE THIS PROJECT. SO YOU 

1270
00:42:09,727 --> 00:42:11,395
HAVE MY COMMITMENT THAT AS LONG 

1271
00:42:11,395 --> 00:42:13,964
AS I'M SITTING ON THE COUNCIL, 

1272
00:42:13,964 --> 00:42:17,768
THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO TO 

1273
00:42:17,768 --> 00:42:18,636
SUPPORT THE COMPLETION OF THIS 

1274
00:42:18,636 --> 00:42:19,937
PROJECT, BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, 

1275
00:42:19,937 --> 00:42:21,438
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY

1276
00:42:21,438 --> 00:42:23,107
IMPORTANT. WE CAN'T START 

1277
00:42:23,107 --> 00:42:24,541
SOMETHING AND THEN NOT FINISH 

1278
00:42:24,541 --> 00:42:27,244
IT. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. AND 

1279
00:42:27,244 --> 00:42:28,779
THESE ARE THE TYPES OF PROJECTS 

1280
00:42:28,779 --> 00:42:30,481
THAT WE SHOULD BE SUPPORTING. TO

1281
00:42:30,481 --> 00:42:33,550
ALL THE GREAT POINTS YOU MADE 

1282
00:42:33,550 --> 00:42:37,588
EARLIER. THAT SAID, I WONDER IF 

1283
00:42:37,588 --> 00:42:38,122
AND COUNCILMEMBER LIN, I 

1284
00:42:38,122 --> 00:42:39,356
APPRECIATE YOU SAYING ABOUT THE 

1285
00:42:39,356 --> 00:42:40,391
HOUSING LEVY BECAUSE THAT MONEY 

1286
00:42:40,391 --> 00:42:44,862
CAN'T BE USED. IT IS DEDICATED 

1287
00:42:44,862 --> 00:42:45,596
FUNDING. AND SO WE KNOW WE HAVE 

1288
00:42:45,596 --> 00:42:48,832
THAT MONEY THAT WE CAN UTILIZE 

1289
00:42:48,832 --> 00:42:51,068
TO FULFILL SOME OF THE 

1290
00:42:51,068 --> 00:42:53,037
COMMITMENTS. IF THINGS COME DUE 

1291
00:42:53,037 --> 00:42:54,138
SOONER THAN WE THINK. BECAUSE 

1292
00:42:54,138 --> 00:42:56,373
THAT'S THE OTHER THING, JEN. 

1293
00:42:56,373 --> 00:42:58,175
RIGHT. IS THAT PART OF THIS IS 

1294
00:42:58,175 --> 00:43:00,744
WE'RE NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHEN 

1295
00:43:00,744 --> 00:43:02,680
THAT MONEY WILL HAVE TO COMMIT. 

1296
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,014
WE WILL HAVE TO FULFILL SOME OF 

1297
00:43:04,014 --> 00:43:06,016
THE COMMITMENTS. IT WON'T BE ALL

1298
00:43:06,016 --> 00:43:07,651
AT ONCE, THOUGH. I MEAN, MY 

1299
00:43:07,651 --> 00:43:09,119
UNDERSTANDING OF HOUSING 

1300
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:10,621
PROJECTS IS YOU GIVE MONEY A 

1301
00:43:10,621 --> 00:43:12,056
CERTAIN AMOUNT AT A TIME AS THE 

1302
00:43:12,056 --> 00:43:15,192
PROJECT GETS THROUGH COMPLETION.

1303
00:43:15,192 --> 00:43:17,895
-- THAT IS, THAT'S TRUE. IT'S 

1304
00:43:17,895 --> 00:43:19,797
NOT AS IF YOU GET BILLED FOR 

1305
00:43:19,797 --> 00:43:21,465
100% OF THE PROJECT. IT DOES 

1306
00:43:21,465 --> 00:43:22,800
COME IN OVER TIME. I DON'T KNOW

1307
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,436
IF YOU CAN USE HOUSING LEVY 

1308
00:43:25,436 --> 00:43:29,406
MONEY TO PAY FOR A JUMPSTART 

1309
00:43:29,406 --> 00:43:31,709
OBLIGATION, BECAUSE THE HOUSING 

1310
00:43:31,709 --> 00:43:33,010
LEVY IS HIGHLY REGULATED AND 

1311
00:43:33,010 --> 00:43:33,644
RESTRICTED TO CERTAIN USES AND 

1312
00:43:33,644 --> 00:43:35,346
HAS TO MEET CERTAIN OUTCOMES. 

1313
00:43:35,346 --> 00:43:36,380
IT'S NOT CLEAR TO ME THAT YOU 

1314
00:43:36,380 --> 00:43:38,215
CAN JUST SORT OF SWAP THOSE AS 

1315
00:43:38,215 --> 00:43:40,150
NEEDED. I THINK THAT THAT'S 

1316
00:43:40,150 --> 00:43:40,985
PROBABLY SOMETHING OH WOULD 

1317
00:43:40,985 --> 00:43:42,553
REALLY NEED TO EXPLORE. 

1318
00:43:42,553 --> 00:43:43,587
PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, WITH LAW 

1319
00:43:43,587 --> 00:43:44,655
ABOUT SORT OF WHAT THEIR OPTIONS

1320
00:43:44,655 --> 00:43:46,056
WOULD BE THERE, BUT I WOULDN'T 

1321
00:43:46,056 --> 00:43:46,357
ASSUME IT. 

1322
00:43:46,357 --> 00:43:48,192
-- I THINK IT'S WORTH EXPLORING

1323
00:43:48,192 --> 00:43:50,227
AS WE'RE LOOKING FOR CREATIVE 

1324
00:43:50,227 --> 00:43:51,996
SOLUTIONS TO THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE

1325
00:43:51,996 --> 00:43:54,598
I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO THREAD

1326
00:43:54,598 --> 00:43:55,733
THE NEEDLE. AND I REALLY 

1327
00:43:55,733 --> 00:43:58,068
APPRECIATE ALL THE POINTS YOU 

1328
00:43:58,068 --> 00:43:58,502
MADE IN YOUR POLICY 

1329
00:43:58,502 --> 00:44:00,537
CONSIDERATIONS. SO, YOU KNOW, WE

1330
00:44:00,537 --> 00:44:03,073
DO NEED TO BUILD MORE HOUSING, 

1331
00:44:03,073 --> 00:44:04,241
OBVIOUSLY. SO WE AGAIN, WE WANT 

1332
00:44:04,241 --> 00:44:05,843
TO MAKE SURE WE FULFILL OUR 

1333
00:44:05,843 --> 00:44:07,478
COMMITMENTS. AT THE SAME TIME, I

1334
00:44:07,478 --> 00:44:08,646
KNOW IT'S REALLY HARD FOR THE 

1335
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:11,281
CITY TO CONTINUE TO HOLD ON TO 

1336
00:44:11,281 --> 00:44:13,117
FUNDS AND NOT BE ABLE TO DO SOME

1337
00:44:13,117 --> 00:44:15,786
OF THESE OTHER PRIORITY THINGS. 

1338
00:44:15,786 --> 00:44:20,491
SO I, I APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL 

1339
00:44:20,491 --> 00:44:23,327
CREATIVE IDEAS TO SOLVE FOR THIS

1340
00:44:23,327 --> 00:44:25,729
VERY IMPORTANT POLICY 

1341
00:44:25,729 --> 00:44:26,330
CONSIDERATION THAT YOU'VE 

1342
00:44:26,330 --> 00:44:29,233
RAISED. AND I WONDER WHETHER WE 

1343
00:44:29,233 --> 00:44:33,303
CAN'T DO SOME MORE DIGGING IN 

1344
00:44:33,303 --> 00:44:35,105
TO SEE WHETHER, YOU KNOW, 

1345
00:44:35,105 --> 00:44:37,174
HOUSING, THE HOUSING LEVY MONEY 

1346
00:44:37,174 --> 00:44:39,376
IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD, YOU 

1347
00:44:39,376 --> 00:44:40,844
KNOW, PULL FROM LATER IF WE 

1348
00:44:40,844 --> 00:44:44,381
SHOULD HAVE TO WHILE WE'RE 

1349
00:44:44,381 --> 00:44:45,015
WAITING FOR JUMPSTART FUNDS TO 

1350
00:44:45,015 --> 00:44:46,050
COME IN, YOU KNOW, THINGS OF 

1351
00:44:46,050 --> 00:44:47,718
THAT NATURE. HOW CAN WE GET 

1352
00:44:47,718 --> 00:44:50,220
CREATIVE HERE WHERE WE CAN 

1353
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:51,221
ACCOMPLISH BOTH GOALS IS WHAT 

1354
00:44:51,221 --> 00:44:52,523
I'M TRYING TO SAY. AND I THINK 

1355
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:54,258
THAT THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS,

1356
00:44:54,258 --> 00:44:56,060
PROBABLY THAT WE HAVEN'T 

1357
00:44:56,060 --> 00:44:57,528
CONSIDERED THAT THAT WE SHOULD 

1358
00:44:57,528 --> 00:44:59,163
BE, I GUESS, IS WHAT I'M TRYING

1359
00:44:59,163 --> 00:45:01,632
TO SAY. SO HAPPY TO DISCUSS 

1360
00:45:01,632 --> 00:45:04,168
FURTHER, JEN, BUT I DO I DO 

1361
00:45:04,168 --> 00:45:05,769
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AND I 

1362
00:45:05,769 --> 00:45:06,870
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE 

1363
00:45:06,870 --> 00:45:08,939
PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, 

1364
00:45:08,939 --> 00:45:11,375
THIS IS A REALLY HARD ISSUE, IS 

1365
00:45:11,375 --> 00:45:13,210
THAT WE ARE HOLDING ON TO A 

1366
00:45:13,210 --> 00:45:15,345
LARGE SUM OF MONEY, AND THIS IS 

1367
00:45:15,345 --> 00:45:16,547
WHAT WE IDENTIFIED BACK IN 24, 

1368
00:45:16,547 --> 00:45:18,082
WHEN WE HAD TO DEAL WITH A 

1369
00:45:18,082 --> 00:45:21,852
DEFICIT THERE. AND IT'S HARD TO

1370
00:45:21,852 --> 00:45:22,586
BE SITTING ON A LARGE POOL OF 

1371
00:45:22,586 --> 00:45:23,921
MONEY THAT WE KNOW IS NOT GOING 

1372
00:45:23,921 --> 00:45:27,324
TO GET UTILIZED TODAY. AND WE 

1373
00:45:27,324 --> 00:45:29,426
WERE SAYING SINCE THEN, IF WE 

1374
00:45:29,426 --> 00:45:31,028
CAN MAKE SURE THE MONEY IS 

1375
00:45:31,028 --> 00:45:32,563
AVAILABLE WHEN IT IS NEEDED, 

1376
00:45:32,563 --> 00:45:34,798
THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE 

1377
00:45:34,798 --> 00:45:37,101
SOME OF THOSE FUNDS NOW SO THAT 

1378
00:45:37,101 --> 00:45:38,368
THAT'S RIGHT, WHAT WE'RE 

1379
00:45:38,368 --> 00:45:41,004
TRYING TO SOLVE FOR. AND ANYWAY,

1380
00:45:41,004 --> 00:45:47,444
SO AGAIN, JEN, HAPPY TO EXPLORE 

1381
00:45:47,444 --> 00:45:47,978
FURTHER ON SOME POTENTIAL 

1382
00:45:47,978 --> 00:45:51,348
ALTERNATIVES FOR MAYBE NOT LAND 

1383
00:45:51,348 --> 00:45:53,150
BANKING, ALL OF THE MONEY, YOU 

1384
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,419
KNOW, IN RESERVES, BEING ABLE TO

1385
00:45:55,419 --> 00:45:56,954
UTILIZE SOME OF IT, BUT AT THE 

1386
00:45:56,954 --> 00:45:59,757
SAME TIME, DO A BETTER STRUCTURE

1387
00:45:59,757 --> 00:46:01,024
FOR THE ISSUE THAT YOU'VE 

1388
00:46:01,024 --> 00:46:02,493
IDENTIFIED IN TERMS OF WHAT DO 

1389
00:46:02,493 --> 00:46:04,561
WE DO AS THINGS COME DUE AND WE 

1390
00:46:04,561 --> 00:46:07,898
NEED TO PAY? THANK YOU CHAIR. 

1391
00:46:07,898 --> 00:46:11,468
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

1392
00:46:11,468 --> 00:46:12,069
RIVERA DEPUTY DIRECTOR CALVIN 

1393
00:46:12,069 --> 00:46:13,604
CHOW COUNCILMEMBERS. 

1394
00:46:13,604 --> 00:46:14,938
-- I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I 

1395
00:46:14,938 --> 00:46:16,106
THINK A LOT OF THE CONVERSATION 

1396
00:46:16,106 --> 00:46:17,241
I'M HEARING IS REALLY TALKING 

1397
00:46:17,241 --> 00:46:18,876
ABOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THE BIG 

1398
00:46:18,876 --> 00:46:19,910
CHANGE THAT IS BEING PROPOSED 

1399
00:46:19,910 --> 00:46:21,478
HERE. AND THAT REALLY KIND OF 

1400
00:46:21,478 --> 00:46:24,081
SPEAKS TO OH FINANCIAL POLICIES.

1401
00:46:24,081 --> 00:46:25,849
AND, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE THEY 

1402
00:46:25,849 --> 00:46:28,719
UPDATED TO LOOK AT THESE 

1403
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,187
DIFFERENT POSSIBLE SCENARIOS? 

1404
00:46:30,187 --> 00:46:31,288
BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY THE, THE,

1405
00:46:31,288 --> 00:46:31,955
THE CONVERSATION. WE DON'T KNOW

1406
00:46:31,955 --> 00:46:32,789
WHAT THE FUTURE'S GOING TO 

1407
00:46:32,789 --> 00:46:34,791
BRING, BUT WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND

1408
00:46:34,791 --> 00:46:35,459
WHAT ARE THE FINANCIAL OPTIONS. 

1409
00:46:35,459 --> 00:46:37,194
WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE 

1410
00:46:37,194 --> 00:46:38,495
WE'RE MEETING OUR OBLIGATIONS 

1411
00:46:38,495 --> 00:46:39,563
AND ARE ABLE TO TRACK THE THINGS

1412
00:46:39,563 --> 00:46:40,197
THAT WE WANT TO DO. SO I THINK 

1413
00:46:40,197 --> 00:46:44,368
TO ME, THIS SPEAKS TO A LOOK AT 

1414
00:46:44,368 --> 00:46:45,702
WHAT WORK IS GOING ON TO UPDATE 

1415
00:46:45,702 --> 00:46:48,205
THE FINANCIAL POLICIES IN LIGHT 

1416
00:46:48,205 --> 00:46:48,572
OF THIS CHANGE. 

1417
00:46:48,572 --> 00:46:49,039
-- AND PLEASE. 

1418
00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:53,177
-- THANK YOU, CAL AGREED. ALSO, 

1419
00:46:53,177 --> 00:46:55,479
I WANTED TO I MEANT TO SAY ONE 

1420
00:46:55,479 --> 00:46:56,580
OTHER COMMENT, CHAIR, THANK YOU 

1421
00:46:56,580 --> 00:46:59,516
FOR GIVING ME ANOTHER MINUTE IN 

1422
00:46:59,516 --> 00:47:01,451
TERMS OF THE HOUSING THAT'S 

1423
00:47:01,451 --> 00:47:07,624
BEING CREATED, WE DO HAVE THE 

1424
00:47:07,624 --> 00:47:09,393
COUNTY SUPPORTS HOUSING, AND 

1425
00:47:09,393 --> 00:47:12,663
THEN WE HAVE THE SOCIAL HOUSING.

1426
00:47:12,663 --> 00:47:16,166
PDA. AND SO HOW DOES THE CITY GO

1427
00:47:16,166 --> 00:47:19,269
ABOUT PARTNERING WITH BOTH TO 

1428
00:47:19,269 --> 00:47:20,470
ENSURE THAT WHAT WE'RE BUILDING,

1429
00:47:20,470 --> 00:47:23,807
YOU KNOW, IT SHOULD ALL BE 

1430
00:47:23,807 --> 00:47:25,242
COMPLEMENTARY AND NOT A 

1431
00:47:25,242 --> 00:47:27,211
DUPLICATION OF EFFORTS, IF YOU 

1432
00:47:27,211 --> 00:47:28,846
WILL, AND TO ENSURE THAT THE 

1433
00:47:28,846 --> 00:47:31,181
NUMBER OF UNITS THAT WE NEED, 

1434
00:47:31,181 --> 00:47:33,984
GIVEN THAT THERE ARE OTHER 

1435
00:47:33,984 --> 00:47:36,453
ENTITIES ALSO BUILDING HOUSING 

1436
00:47:36,453 --> 00:47:37,521
IS THAT WE'RE CLEAR ON THAT. 

1437
00:47:37,521 --> 00:47:41,525
AND IT GOES BACK TO A COMMENT 

1438
00:47:41,525 --> 00:47:43,660
THAT COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE MADE 

1439
00:47:43,660 --> 00:47:45,862
ABOUT THE INVESTMENT PLAN. AND 

1440
00:47:45,862 --> 00:47:47,598
JUST KNOWING, AND WE'RE NOT 

1441
00:47:47,598 --> 00:47:49,166
OPERATING IN SILOS, AS WE SO 

1442
00:47:49,166 --> 00:47:51,635
OFTEN DO IN GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS

1443
00:47:51,635 --> 00:47:53,804
UNFORTUNATE. THESE ARE BIG 

1444
00:47:53,804 --> 00:47:55,839
BUREAUCRACIES. I UNDERSTAND THAT

1445
00:47:55,839 --> 00:47:57,574
PIECE. SO HOW DO WE PARTNER WITH

1446
00:47:57,574 --> 00:47:59,042
THOSE OTHER ENTITIES TO ENSURE 

1447
00:47:59,042 --> 00:48:02,312
THAT OUR HOUSING PORTFOLIO IS 

1448
00:48:02,312 --> 00:48:04,615
MEETING THE NEED, AND THAT WE 

1449
00:48:04,615 --> 00:48:06,149
ARE ACCURATE, AS ACCURATE AS WE 

1450
00:48:06,149 --> 00:48:10,520
CAN BE IN FILLING THAT NEED? 

1451
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,389
-- ONE RESPONSE I HAVE TO THAT 

1452
00:48:12,389 --> 00:48:14,725
IS, I DO KNOW OH HAS BEEN 

1453
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:16,226
MEETING WITH THE SEATTLE SOCIAL 

1454
00:48:16,226 --> 00:48:17,261
HOUSING DEVELOPER TO TALK ABOUT 

1455
00:48:17,261 --> 00:48:18,862
SORT OF WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE AND

1456
00:48:18,862 --> 00:48:21,832
HOW THEY CAN BEST COLLABORATE SO

1457
00:48:21,832 --> 00:48:24,301
THEY'RE NOT DUPLICATING NEED I 

1458
00:48:24,301 --> 00:48:26,203
THINK THAT AS COUNCILMEMBER 

1459
00:48:26,203 --> 00:48:28,171
KETTLE, WE JUST DISCUSSED, THE 

1460
00:48:28,171 --> 00:48:30,007
HOUSING INVESTMENT PLAN IS 

1461
00:48:30,007 --> 00:48:32,142
HELPFUL FOR SEEING THAT THE 

1462
00:48:32,142 --> 00:48:33,610
SOCIAL HOUSING DEVELOPER, YOU 

1463
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:35,212
KNOW, THEIR FUNDING DOES NOT. 

1464
00:48:35,212 --> 00:48:36,580
THE PROCEEDS FROM AYE. 137 

1465
00:48:36,580 --> 00:48:39,016
DON'T COME WITH ANY 

1466
00:48:39,016 --> 00:48:40,851
RESTRICTIONS. HOWEVER, THE 

1467
00:48:40,851 --> 00:48:42,319
SOCIAL HOUSING DEVELOPER BOARD 

1468
00:48:42,319 --> 00:48:43,754
HAS VOTED TO SORT OF MEET 

1469
00:48:43,754 --> 00:48:45,989
CERTAIN INCOME TARGETS, WHICH 

1470
00:48:45,989 --> 00:48:47,024
WAS PART OF INITIATIVE 135 AS 

1471
00:48:47,024 --> 00:48:48,258
WELL, TO HAVE SORT OF THESE 

1472
00:48:48,258 --> 00:48:50,260
MIXED INCOME BUILDINGS. SO I DO 

1473
00:48:50,260 --> 00:48:52,095
THINK THERE'S COMMUNICATION 

1474
00:48:52,095 --> 00:48:54,364
ABOUT THAT. THE OFFICE OF 

1475
00:48:54,364 --> 00:48:54,965
HOUSING OVER THE FORESEEABLE 

1476
00:48:54,965 --> 00:48:57,134
FUTURE IS VERY FOCUSED ON 0 TO 

1477
00:48:57,134 --> 00:48:59,336
30% AND 0 TO 50% HOUSING, AND 

1478
00:48:59,336 --> 00:49:00,604
THAT'S REALLY WHERE THEY'RE 

1479
00:49:00,604 --> 00:49:02,606
GOING TO AIM IN. THE SOCIAL 

1480
00:49:02,606 --> 00:49:04,241
HOUSING DEVELOPER WILL CREATE 

1481
00:49:04,241 --> 00:49:05,042
SOME UNITS WITHIN THAT INCOME 

1482
00:49:05,042 --> 00:49:06,977
BAND, BUT, YOU KNOW, IS ALSO 

1483
00:49:06,977 --> 00:49:08,612
GOING TO HAVE BUILDINGS THAT 

1484
00:49:08,612 --> 00:49:09,680
HAVE 50 TO 80% UNITS AND MARKET 

1485
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,014
RATE UNITS. SO I THINK THEY 

1486
00:49:11,014 --> 00:49:13,317
REALLY ARE SERVING LARGELY TWO 

1487
00:49:13,317 --> 00:49:14,551
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE MARKET 

1488
00:49:14,551 --> 00:49:17,721
WITH SOME, YOU KNOW, MODEST 

1489
00:49:17,721 --> 00:49:18,755
OVERLAP IN THAT 0 TO 50 RANGE. 

1490
00:49:18,755 --> 00:49:20,457
AND FRANKLY, WE KNOW THAT, YOU 

1491
00:49:20,457 --> 00:49:21,525
KNOW, WE NEED A LOT OF HOUSING 

1492
00:49:21,525 --> 00:49:23,860
IN THAT RANGE. AND SO I'M NOT 

1493
00:49:23,860 --> 00:49:26,096
LOOKING AT IT SUPER CONCERNED 

1494
00:49:26,096 --> 00:49:27,497
ABOUT DUPLICATIVE EFFORTS. BUT I

1495
00:49:27,497 --> 00:49:29,499
DO THINK THAT CONTINUED DIALOG 

1496
00:49:29,499 --> 00:49:32,002
BETWEEN THEM WILL BE ESSENTIAL. 

1497
00:49:32,002 --> 00:49:33,437
-- THANK YOU. JEN. I DO THINK IN

1498
00:49:33,437 --> 00:49:35,739
THE LONG TERM, MAYBE NOT 

1499
00:49:35,739 --> 00:49:36,640
IMMEDIATELY WE'RE NOT 

1500
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,342
CONCERNED, BUT I DO THINK THESE 

1501
00:49:38,342 --> 00:49:39,443
PLANS ARE LONG TERM PLANS. AND 

1502
00:49:39,443 --> 00:49:45,716
SO WE SHOULD HAVE KIND OF A 

1503
00:49:45,716 --> 00:49:47,751
FORMAL PROCESS IN PLACE FOR HOW 

1504
00:49:47,751 --> 00:49:49,987
WE'RE CONTINUOUSLY CHECKING IN 

1505
00:49:49,987 --> 00:49:51,888
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE AREN'T 

1506
00:49:51,888 --> 00:49:54,124
DUPLICATING EFFORTS AND THAT THE

1507
00:49:54,124 --> 00:49:55,592
ECOSYSTEM HASN'T CHANGED. AND 

1508
00:49:55,592 --> 00:49:56,860
IT'S NOT JUST WITH THE SOCIAL 

1509
00:49:56,860 --> 00:49:57,527
HOUSING DEVELOPER. I'M THINKING

1510
00:49:57,527 --> 00:49:58,729
OF EVERYONE WHO'S DEVELOPING 

1511
00:49:58,729 --> 00:50:01,498
HOUSING, RIGHT? IT'S ALSO THE 

1512
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:03,433
COUNTY AND HOW WE PARTNER WITH 

1513
00:50:03,433 --> 00:50:06,303
THE COUNTY. AND WHAT ARE THEY 

1514
00:50:06,303 --> 00:50:08,538
DEVELOPING AND WHAT ARE THEIR 

1515
00:50:08,538 --> 00:50:13,543
GOALS? YOU KNOW, AND ALONG WITH 

1516
00:50:13,543 --> 00:50:14,911
THE INCOME PIECE, THERE'S ALSO 

1517
00:50:14,911 --> 00:50:16,446
THE, YOU KNOW, WHAT TYPES OF 

1518
00:50:16,446 --> 00:50:19,249
UNITS ARE NEEDED, LIKE FAMILY 

1519
00:50:19,249 --> 00:50:21,318
SIZED ET-CETERA AND WHAT IS 

1520
00:50:21,318 --> 00:50:24,221
GETTING BUILT. SO I THINK ALL OF

1521
00:50:24,221 --> 00:50:27,724
THAT NEEDS TO BE PART OF THIS, 

1522
00:50:27,724 --> 00:50:29,226
YOU KNOW, HOUSING PLAN THAT 

1523
00:50:29,226 --> 00:50:32,095
SHOULDN'T BE LIKE A ONE. I KNOW

1524
00:50:32,095 --> 00:50:35,799
IT WAS A, A SLI, BUT IT SHOULD 

1525
00:50:35,799 --> 00:50:38,568
BE A LIVING DOCUMENT THAT IS 

1526
00:50:38,568 --> 00:50:41,071
GETTING UPDATED REGULARLY SO 

1527
00:50:41,071 --> 00:50:43,140
THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THE 

1528
00:50:43,140 --> 00:50:45,242
CITY'S PLAN IS FOR HOUSING AND 

1529
00:50:45,242 --> 00:50:47,511
THE, AND THE NEEDS CHANGE OVER 

1530
00:50:47,511 --> 00:50:52,082
TIME. YOU KNOW, THE DETAILS. SO 

1531
00:50:52,082 --> 00:50:54,084
I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO DO 

1532
00:50:54,084 --> 00:50:55,352
OVER TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,

1533
00:50:55,352 --> 00:50:57,621

MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I 

1546
00:51:17,474 --> 00:51:20,444
DIDN'T MEAN TO COME IN SO HOT. 

1547
00:51:20,444 --> 00:51:22,112
I KNOW IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THAT,

1548
00:51:22,112 --> 00:51:23,346
BUT AS I ALWAYS TELL 

1549
00:51:23,346 --> 00:51:24,081
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA THAT, LIKE 

1550
00:51:24,081 --> 00:51:26,750
WHAT? WE TEASE EACH OTHER. I 

1551
00:51:26,750 --> 00:51:28,285
KNOW THAT THESE ARE DIFFICULT 

1552
00:51:28,285 --> 00:51:30,687
ISSUES FOR THE OFFICE OF 

1553
00:51:30,687 --> 00:51:31,288
HOUSING, WORKING WITH SEATTLE 

1554
00:51:31,288 --> 00:51:31,955
HOUSING AUTHORITY, WORKING WITH 

1555
00:51:31,955 --> 00:51:33,256
THE COUNTY, WORKING WITH THE 

1556
00:51:33,256 --> 00:51:34,958
SOCIAL HOUSING ISSUES, ON THE 

1557
00:51:34,958 --> 00:51:37,661
POLICIES. AND I WANT TO THANK 

1558
00:51:37,661 --> 00:51:38,261
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA FOR HER 

1559
00:51:38,261 --> 00:51:38,895
WORDS, BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, 

1560
00:51:38,895 --> 00:51:39,729
SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, YOU 

1561
00:51:39,729 --> 00:51:41,598
KNOW, THEY SIT THERE AND I 

1562
00:51:41,598 --> 00:51:42,265
UNDERSTAND IF THEY'RE NOT BEING

1563
00:51:42,265 --> 00:51:43,133
BUILT, DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GOING

1564
00:51:43,133 --> 00:51:44,568
TO TAKE IT AWAY, BUT YOU PUT IT 

1565
00:51:44,568 --> 00:51:45,869
ON PAUSE AND YOU USE THAT CASH 

1566
00:51:45,869 --> 00:51:49,106
OR THAT MONEY TO LET ANOTHER 

1567
00:51:49,106 --> 00:51:49,773
PROJECT THAT'S FURTHER DOWN THE

1568
00:51:49,773 --> 00:51:50,941
LINE GET BUILT INTO BRICK AND 

1569
00:51:50,941 --> 00:51:52,943
MORTAR. I GET THAT I WANT I 

1570
00:51:52,943 --> 00:51:53,577
UNDERSTAND WHAT COUNCILMEMBER 

1571
00:51:53,577 --> 00:51:56,847
LIN IS SAYING TOO. I, I THINK 

1572
00:51:56,847 --> 00:51:58,081
COUNCILMEMBER LIN, THANK YOU. I 

1573
00:51:58,081 --> 00:51:59,082
THINK HE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE 

1574
00:51:59,082 --> 00:52:02,185
CAUTIOUS THAN ME. I UNDERSTAND 

1575
00:52:02,185 --> 00:52:03,520
I'M NOT ASKING PEOPLE TO HAVE A

1576
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,655
CRYSTAL BALL, BUT I DO WANT TO 

1577
00:52:05,655 --> 00:52:07,891
EMPHASIZE THAT THIS WHOLE IDEA 

1578
00:52:07,891 --> 00:52:10,093
OF TRANSIT ORIENTED HOUSING AND 

1579
00:52:10,093 --> 00:52:11,495
EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH IT 

1580
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:13,430
HAS BEEN A POLICY DISCUSSION AND

1581
00:52:13,430 --> 00:52:15,432
ISSUE, AND BEING IMPLEMENTED IN 

1582
00:52:15,432 --> 00:52:17,801
CITIES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY SINCE

1583
00:52:17,801 --> 00:52:19,336
2013, IN WHICH THIS CITY STARTED

1584
00:52:19,336 --> 00:52:23,840
ADOPTING IT IN 2015. AND WE 

1585
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:24,941
DEDICATED AND DID AND SPENT THE 

1586
00:52:24,941 --> 00:52:28,245
MONEY WITH SEATTLE HOUSING 

1587
00:52:28,245 --> 00:52:28,845
AUTHORITY, THE 65,000,000 IN 

1588
00:52:28,845 --> 00:52:30,180
2019, WHICH HAS BEEN SEVEN 

1589
00:52:30,180 --> 00:52:33,583
YEARS. SO AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE

1590
00:52:33,583 --> 00:52:35,485
TO SAY, WE GOT TO GET THIS DONE.

1591
00:52:35,485 --> 00:52:36,820
WE CAN'T JUST KEEP ROLLING IT 

1592
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:39,222
OVER. AND SO I GUESS THAT WAS 

1593
00:52:39,222 --> 00:52:41,691
THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE 

1594
00:52:41,691 --> 00:52:43,660
THAT SOME OF THESE ISSUES IN 

1595
00:52:43,660 --> 00:52:45,629
HOUSING AND BUILDING ARE 

1596
00:52:45,629 --> 00:52:47,464
EMERGENT. AND THEY'RE A 

1597
00:52:47,464 --> 00:52:48,465
COMMITMENT. AND THAT MONEY IS 

1598
00:52:48,465 --> 00:52:50,667
THERE. BUT IT'S IT'S IT NOT ONLY

1599
00:52:50,667 --> 00:52:52,836
IS IT ABOUT THE MONEY BEING 

1600
00:52:52,836 --> 00:52:53,770
THERE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST 

1601
00:52:53,770 --> 00:52:55,772
SITTING IN A CHECKING ACCOUNT, 

1602
00:52:55,772 --> 00:52:57,541
OBVIOUSLY, BUT WE ALSO USE THAT 

1603
00:52:57,541 --> 00:53:01,878
MONEY TO LEVERAGE TO ISSUE DEBT,

1604
00:53:01,878 --> 00:53:03,446
TO BUILD. AND WE HAVE TO LINE UP

1605
00:53:03,446 --> 00:53:05,215
THOSE ARC. AS YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS

1606
00:53:05,215 --> 00:53:06,550
KNOW THIS. WE WE HAVE THERE'S 

1607
00:53:06,550 --> 00:53:07,317
ALL THESE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO

1608
00:53:07,317 --> 00:53:13,390
DO TO LINE UP TO ACTUALLY TURN 

1609
00:53:13,390 --> 00:53:15,425
SOIL. AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M SO

1610
00:53:15,425 --> 00:53:16,126
PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROJECT, 

1611
00:53:16,126 --> 00:53:17,294
BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A BIG DEAL 

1612
00:53:17,294 --> 00:53:19,462
IN 2019. AND REMEMBER THE 

1613
00:53:19,462 --> 00:53:22,799
DISCUSSIONS BEFORE 2019 STARTED 

1614
00:53:22,799 --> 00:53:25,001
IN 2015. SO THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE

1615
00:53:25,001 --> 00:53:27,737
SEEING HERE. I'M NOT SAYING THIS

1616
00:53:27,737 --> 00:53:28,939
IS LIKE A $3 MILLION PROJECT 

1617
00:53:28,939 --> 00:53:30,373
THAT KEEPS GETTING ROLLED OVER 

1618
00:53:30,373 --> 00:53:31,575
EVERY YEAR, EVERY YEAR, EVERY 

1619
00:53:31,575 --> 00:53:34,210
YEAR. THIS IS A BIG DEAL. AND SO

1620
00:53:34,210 --> 00:53:35,912
I THINK I JUST WANT TO, TO LET 

1621
00:53:35,912 --> 00:53:37,781

1622
00:53:37,781 --> 00:53:39,082

COMMITTEE TABLE AT THIS TIME, 

1633
00:53:54,531 --> 00:53:57,200
COLLEAGUES? OTHER QUESTIONS? 

1634
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:58,702
COMMENTS FOR OFFICE OF HOUSING. 

1635
00:53:58,702 --> 00:53:59,336
OTHERWISE I'LL MAKE MINE AND 

1636
00:53:59,336 --> 00:54:03,506
THEN PASS IT TO AGAIN ONE MORE 

1637
00:54:03,506 --> 00:54:03,707
TIME. 

1638
00:54:03,707 --> 00:54:05,976
-- ONE MORE QUESTION. 

1639
00:54:05,976 --> 00:54:06,242
-- OKAY. 

1640
00:54:06,242 --> 00:54:09,646

00:54:09,646 --> 00:54:10,113
CONTINUE THE HOUSING 

1642
00:54:10,113 --> 00:54:12,048
STABILIZATION? I KNOW IT WAS ONE

1643
00:54:12,048 --> 00:54:13,049
TIME, BUT YOU CAN'T CONTINUE 

1644
00:54:13,049 --> 00:54:14,351
ONE TIME FUNDS. WE DO IT ALL THE

1645
00:54:14,351 --> 00:54:16,720
TIME. WAS THAT CONTINUED? 

1646
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:17,754
-- CAN YOU? I THINK JUST TO MAKE

1647
00:54:17,754 --> 00:54:18,788
SURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 

1648
00:54:18,788 --> 00:54:20,557
SAME THING, IT'S THE URGENT 

1649
00:54:20,557 --> 00:54:22,826
OPERATING SUPPORT. SO THAT WAS A

1650
00:54:22,826 --> 00:54:26,529
ONE TIME RFP THAT WENT OUT IN 

1651
00:54:26,529 --> 00:54:27,897
LATE 2025, AND THEY'VE AWARDED 

1652
00:54:27,897 --> 00:54:29,499
THE FUNDING, AND THERE IS NO 

1653
00:54:29,499 --> 00:54:33,336
MONEY SET ASIDE AT THIS POINT IN

1654
00:54:33,336 --> 00:54:35,739
TIME FOR MORE URGENT OPERATING 

1655
00:54:35,739 --> 00:54:37,073
SUPPORT. AND THIS IS RELATED TO 

1656
00:54:37,073 --> 00:54:39,342
THE THIRD POLICY CONSIDERATION 

1657
00:54:39,342 --> 00:54:41,511
THAT WITH THIS MOVE TO REALLY 

1658
00:54:41,511 --> 00:54:43,213
BASING APPROPRIATIONS ON 

1659
00:54:43,213 --> 00:54:44,981
EXPENDITURES, THERE'S REALLY NO

1660
00:54:44,981 --> 00:54:46,850
WIGGLE ROOM IN THE BUDGET RIGHT 

1661
00:54:46,850 --> 00:54:52,155
NOW TO PROVIDE MONEY FOR AT 

1662
00:54:52,155 --> 00:54:53,490
LEAST IN 2027, FOR URGENT 

1663
00:54:53,490 --> 00:54:54,991
OPERATING SUPPORT. YOU KNOW, 

1664
00:54:54,991 --> 00:54:56,593
ASSUMING NO CARRY FORWARD, 

1665
00:54:56,593 --> 00:54:59,562
THERE'S JUST THE MONEY SORT OF 

1666
00:54:59,562 --> 00:55:00,096
ALLOCATED FOR ANTICIPATED 

1667
00:55:00,096 --> 00:55:02,232
EXPENDITURES IN 2027. 

1668
00:55:02,232 --> 00:55:03,667
-- AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THOSE

1669
00:55:03,667 --> 00:55:04,501
FUNDS ARE STILL NEEDED. I MEAN, 

1670
00:55:04,501 --> 00:55:06,369
THAT'S WHAT THE HOUSING 

1671
00:55:06,369 --> 00:55:07,137
PROVIDERS. 

1672
00:55:07,137 --> 00:55:09,406
-- I KNOW THE AWARD, THE 28 

1673
00:55:09,406 --> 00:55:11,908
MILLION THOSE CONTRACTS GO 

1674
00:55:11,908 --> 00:55:14,678
THROUGH MID 2027, I WANT TO SAY.

1675
00:55:14,678 --> 00:55:15,812
SO IF THEY WERE TO BE NEEDED, I 

1676
00:55:15,812 --> 00:55:17,280
THINK IT WOULD BE FOR CONTRACTS 

1677
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:18,348
BEGINNING AFTER THAT. I'LL 

1678
00:55:18,348 --> 00:55:19,149
CONFIRM THOSE DATES FOR YOU. BUT

1679
00:55:19,149 --> 00:55:22,252
I KNOW THAT THEY WERE MORE THAN 

1680
00:55:22,252 --> 00:55:22,652
12 MONTH AWARDS. 

1681
00:55:22,652 --> 00:55:23,953
-- THANK YOU JEN, I APPRECIATE 

1682
00:55:23,953 --> 00:55:26,022
THAT. IT'S IT'S IMPORTANT TO 

1683
00:55:26,022 --> 00:55:27,524
MAINTAIN THE UNITS THAT WE DO 

1684
00:55:27,524 --> 00:55:28,825
HAVE. SO THANK YOU CHAIR. 

1685
00:55:28,825 --> 00:55:32,062
-- THANK YOU. I'LL JUST MAKE MY

1686
00:55:32,062 --> 00:55:33,296
COMMENTS. AT THIS TIME, I DON'T

1687
00:55:33,296 --> 00:55:34,964
HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE TABLE 

1688
00:55:34,964 --> 00:55:36,199
BECAUSE WE'VE HAD ROBUST 

1689
00:55:36,199 --> 00:55:37,567
DISCUSSION. I REALLY APPRECIATE 

1690
00:55:37,567 --> 00:55:39,169
IT. JUST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT 

1691
00:55:39,169 --> 00:55:40,136
JENNIFER LABRECQUE SHARED AT THE

1692
00:55:40,136 --> 00:55:42,105
BEGINNING IS THAT THERE'S NO 

1693
00:55:42,105 --> 00:55:43,807
CHANGE IN STAFFING. AND SO I'LL

1694
00:55:43,807 --> 00:55:45,208
JUST BRING US BACK TO THE SEVEN 

1695
00:55:45,208 --> 00:55:49,679
YEAR LOOK BACK WHERE IN 2019, 

1696
00:55:49,679 --> 00:55:53,483
THE DEPARTMENT HAD $69 MILLION 

1697
00:55:53,483 --> 00:55:55,819
OF FUNDING WITH 45 EMPLOYEES AT 

1698
00:55:55,819 --> 00:55:58,088
ABOUT $5.8 MILLION FOR LABOR 

1699
00:55:58,088 --> 00:56:01,024
COSTS IN 20. IN THE 2026 BUDGET.

1700
00:56:01,024 --> 00:56:02,058
AND WHAT IS, FOR THE MOST PART, 

1701
00:56:02,058 --> 00:56:04,661
REFLECTED IN THIS PROPOSED 

1702
00:56:04,661 --> 00:56:10,033
BUDGET IS IT'S NOW 349. IT WAS 

1703
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:14,571
THREE $5,352 MILLION WITH 24 

1704
00:56:14,571 --> 00:56:16,573
STAFF AT $6.5 MILLION IN LABOR 

1705
00:56:16,573 --> 00:56:18,007
COSTS. THAT'S, YOU KNOW, AN 

1706
00:56:18,007 --> 00:56:21,845
APPROPRIATE INCREASE IN 

1707
00:56:21,845 --> 00:56:25,048
COMMENSURATE WITH THE AMOUNT OF 

1708
00:56:25,048 --> 00:56:26,783
FUNDING THAT THE DEPARTMENT IS 

1709
00:56:26,783 --> 00:56:28,151
ALLOCATING AND THE OPERATIONS 

1710
00:56:28,151 --> 00:56:29,986
THAT THE DEPARTMENT IS ENGAGING 

1711
00:56:29,986 --> 00:56:32,689
IN. I SHARE THAT, OR I GUESS IN 

1712
00:56:32,689 --> 00:56:33,957
OUR LAST MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 

1713
00:56:33,957 --> 00:56:35,825
29th, THIS COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ 

1714
00:56:35,825 --> 00:56:38,161
NOTED, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT

1715
00:56:38,161 --> 00:56:39,929
MH A WE TALKED ABOUT THE FIRST 

1716
00:56:39,929 --> 00:56:41,498
HOUSING LEVY, THE SECOND HOUSING

1717
00:56:41,498 --> 00:56:44,868
LEVY, JUMP START. I JUST SAY 

1718
00:56:44,868 --> 00:56:47,837
THIS BECAUSE THE FIRST NOFO THAT

1719
00:56:47,837 --> 00:56:50,974
WAS DUE TO JUMP START WAS IN 

1720
00:56:50,974 --> 00:56:55,345
2020, AUGUST OF 2021, AND THE 

1721
00:56:55,345 --> 00:56:57,914
FIRST PROJECTS THAT WERE FUNDED 

1722
00:56:57,914 --> 00:56:59,682
WITH THAT NOFO ONLY CAME ONLINE 

1723
00:56:59,682 --> 00:57:03,153
A YEAR AGO FROM TODAY. AND SO I 

1724
00:57:03,153 --> 00:57:04,854
JUST I SAY THAT BECAUSE IT TAKES

1725
00:57:04,854 --> 00:57:08,558
SO LONG TO BUILD HOUSING AND THE

1726
00:57:08,558 --> 00:57:09,225
PRODUCTS THAT WE ARE, THE 

1727
00:57:09,225 --> 00:57:13,129
OUTCOMES THAT WE ARE SEEING FROM

1728
00:57:13,129 --> 00:57:14,464
JUMP START INFUSING A HISTORIC 

1729
00:57:14,464 --> 00:57:16,199
LEVEL OF CASH INTO THE OFFICE OF

1730
00:57:16,199 --> 00:57:17,867
HOUSING. THOSE OUTCOMES ARE ONLY

1731
00:57:17,867 --> 00:57:20,770
REALLY BEING BORN IN THE LAST 12

1732
00:57:20,770 --> 00:57:22,005
MONTHS. AND IN THESE YEARS, 

1733
00:57:22,005 --> 00:57:24,941
RIGHT NOW, AND AHEAD WITH EVEN 

1734
00:57:24,941 --> 00:57:27,677
WITH THAT CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION 

1735
00:57:27,677 --> 00:57:29,813
THESE DAYS IS IN PLACES IS TOO 

1736
00:57:29,813 --> 00:57:34,651
CLOSE TO MARKET RATE FOR WHAT I 

1737
00:57:34,651 --> 00:57:35,618
CONSIDER TO BE A STRATEGIC 

1738
00:57:35,618 --> 00:57:37,320
INVESTMENT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF TO

1739
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:37,854
WHAT COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE 

1740
00:57:37,854 --> 00:57:39,956
SAYING. WE NEED THAT STRATEGIC 

1741
00:57:39,956 --> 00:57:41,524
HOUSING INVESTMENT PLAN SO THAT 

1742
00:57:41,524 --> 00:57:44,527
WE CAN KNOW WHERE WE ARE. 

1743
00:57:44,527 --> 00:57:45,161
OVERINDEXING AND WHERE WE NEED 

1744
00:57:45,161 --> 00:57:49,532
TO HAVE MORE SUPPORT BECAUSE AS 

1745
00:57:49,532 --> 00:57:50,066
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA WAS 

1746
00:57:50,066 --> 00:57:51,734
MENTIONING ABOUT THE OPERATIONS,

1747
00:57:51,734 --> 00:57:54,737
WE KNOW THAT OPERATIONS CONTINUE

1748
00:57:54,737 --> 00:57:57,474
TO STRUGGLE. WE HAVE THE COC 

1749
00:57:57,474 --> 00:58:00,910
RESERVE, BUT THAT IS DIFFERENT 

1750
00:58:00,910 --> 00:58:02,979
THAN THE STRUGGLES THAT HAVE 

1751
00:58:02,979 --> 00:58:05,849
ALREADY BEEN OCCURRING FOR THESE

1752
00:58:05,849 --> 00:58:07,116
VERY AFFORDABLE HOUSING PARTNERS

1753
00:58:07,116 --> 00:58:08,251
THAT WE ARE TRYING TO FUNNEL 

1754
00:58:08,251 --> 00:58:09,919
MONEY TO. SO THE QUESTION 

1755
00:58:09,919 --> 00:58:10,987
BECOMES, IN MY MIND, WHERE 

1756
00:58:10,987 --> 00:58:14,157
THERE'S NOT AN ANSWER, AND THIS

1757
00:58:14,157 --> 00:58:15,492
IS NOT PEOPLE CAN'T BE LOOKING 

1758
00:58:15,492 --> 00:58:16,626
INTO A CRYSTAL BALL. I'VE SAID 

1759
00:58:16,626 --> 00:58:17,360
THINGS ON THE RECORD THAT PEOPLE

1760
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:18,394
ARE LIKE, AND THIS IS WHAT HE 

1761
00:58:18,394 --> 00:58:20,930
MEANS. AND WE'RE JUST UP HERE 

1762
00:58:20,930 --> 00:58:22,031
HAVING A CONVERSATION. BUT IT 

1763
00:58:22,031 --> 00:58:25,168
REALLY IS. IF WE ARE INVESTING 

1764
00:58:25,168 --> 00:58:27,170
IN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL 

1765
00:58:27,170 --> 00:58:29,739
CONSTRUCTION THAT IS NEAR MARKET

1766
00:58:29,739 --> 00:58:30,607
RATE. WHILE OPERATIONS OF 

1767
00:58:30,607 --> 00:58:33,743
EXISTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING ARE 

1768
00:58:33,743 --> 00:58:36,112
IN JEOPARDY OF CLOSING, I THINK 

1769
00:58:36,112 --> 00:58:37,547
THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WE REALLY

1770
00:58:37,547 --> 00:58:38,648
NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. I 

1771
00:58:38,648 --> 00:58:39,582
DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO

1772
00:58:39,582 --> 00:58:41,117
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS THIS YEAR, 

1773
00:58:41,117 --> 00:58:43,186
BUT I LOOK BACK AT A DECADE AGO 

1774
00:58:43,186 --> 00:58:46,856
WAS WHEN HALA WAS PUT TOGETHER 

1775
00:58:46,856 --> 00:58:48,391
WITH 12 RECOMMENDATIONS. WE TOOK

1776
00:58:48,391 --> 00:58:52,228
UP FOUR OF THEM, AND WE'VE EVEN

1777
00:58:52,228 --> 00:58:52,929
ADDED JUMPSTART WASN'T EVEN PART

1778
00:58:52,929 --> 00:58:55,198
OF THAT. AND SO I JUST SAY, YOU 

1779
00:58:55,198 --> 00:58:56,966
KNOW, WE'RE A DECADE DOWN THE 

1780
00:58:56,966 --> 00:59:00,970
ROAD FROM TAKING A VERY STRONG 

1781
00:59:00,970 --> 00:59:03,539
AND FOCUSED LOOK AND INVESTMENT 

1782
00:59:03,539 --> 00:59:05,608
INTO HOUSING. AND I DON'T KNOW 

1783
00:59:05,608 --> 00:59:06,643
THAT WE'VE DONE A CHECK BACK 

1784
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,244
YET. AND SO I THINK THAT THAT IS

1785
00:59:08,244 --> 00:59:13,683
IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW, IT IS I'M 

1786
00:59:13,683 --> 00:59:15,718
GLAD THAT THIS BUDGET RETAINS 

1787
00:59:15,718 --> 00:59:17,220
THAT NEAR HISTORIC LEVEL OF 

1788
00:59:17,220 --> 00:59:19,789
FUNDING. I'M NOT GOING TO MINCE

1789
00:59:19,789 --> 00:59:21,224
NUMBERS WITH $5 MILLION 

1790
00:59:21,224 --> 00:59:23,259
DIFFERENCE. THAT'S HISTORIC TO 

1791
00:59:23,259 --> 00:59:25,762
ME, ESPECIALLY IN THE CONTEXT OF

1792
00:59:25,762 --> 00:59:28,498
SEATTLE SOCIAL HOUSING DEVELOPER

1793
00:59:28,498 --> 00:59:29,132
BRINGING IN AN ADDITIONAL $120 

1794
00:59:29,132 --> 00:59:30,900
MILLION FOR HOUSING. AGAIN, YOU 

1795
00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:32,568
CAN'T LOOK INTO A CRYSTAL BALL 

1796
00:59:32,568 --> 00:59:34,337
TO SAY THAT I'M GOING TO DO 

1797
00:59:34,337 --> 00:59:34,938
ANYTHING ABOUT SOCIAL HOUSING 

1798
00:59:34,938 --> 00:59:37,040
BECAUSE I'M NOT, BUT I'M JUST 

1799
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,108
NOTING FOR THE RECORD THAT 

1800
00:59:39,108 --> 00:59:41,611
CONSTRUCTION IS NEAR MARKET 

1801
00:59:41,611 --> 00:59:43,046
RATE. OPERATIONS ARE STRUGGLING.

1802
00:59:43,046 --> 00:59:44,881
WE HAVE A HISTORIC LEVEL OF 

1803
00:59:44,881 --> 00:59:46,983
FUNDING IN OUR BUDGET, AND WE 

1804
00:59:46,983 --> 00:59:48,751
HAVE AN EVEN LARGER HISTORIC 

1805
00:59:48,751 --> 00:59:49,986
LEVEL OF FUNDING, INCLUDING THE 

1806
00:59:49,986 --> 00:59:53,022
SEATTLE SOCIAL HOUSING 

1807
00:59:53,022 --> 00:59:53,856
DEVELOPER. WHILE WE'RE MAKING 

1808
00:59:53,856 --> 00:59:56,759
SOME CHANGES INTO HOW WE ARE 

1809
00:59:56,759 --> 00:59:59,762
STRUCTURING OUR CASH FLOW TO 

1810
00:59:59,762 --> 01:00:01,164
MEET THESE OBJECTIVES, AND I 

1811
01:00:01,164 --> 01:00:01,798
DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, 

1812
01:00:01,798 --> 01:00:04,200
BUT I DO APPRECIATE JENNIFER 

1813
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,002
BRINGING UP WHAT GUARDRAILS CAN 

1814
01:00:06,002 --> 01:00:07,537
BE PROVIDED, BECAUSE WE DO NEED 

1815
01:00:07,537 --> 01:00:10,239
SOME GUARDRAILS AS WE'RE MAKING

1816
01:00:10,239 --> 01:00:11,608
THE TRANSITION JUST TO ENSURE 

1817
01:00:11,608 --> 01:00:14,277
THAT THIS COMPANY THAT WE TOOK 

1818
01:00:14,277 --> 01:00:16,713
FROM A $69 MILLION COMPANY IN 

1819
01:00:16,713 --> 01:00:22,085
2019 TO A $350 MILLION COMPANY 

1820
01:00:22,085 --> 01:00:22,685
TODAY, THAT REQUIRES CHANGES. 

1821
01:00:22,685 --> 01:00:24,454
SOME OF THAT IS CASH FLOW. AND 

1822
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:25,254
THROUGH THESE CHANGES, WE JUST 

1823
01:00:25,254 --> 01:00:26,656
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE 

1824
01:00:26,656 --> 01:00:27,824
GUARDRAILS ARE ON THERE TO MAKE 

1825
01:00:27,824 --> 01:00:29,659
SURE THAT PLACES LIKE NORTHGATE 

1826
01:00:29,659 --> 01:00:30,994
COMMONS GET BUILT, TO MAKE SURE 

1827
01:00:30,994 --> 01:00:32,628
THAT WE ARE ABLE TO MEET THE 

1828
01:00:32,628 --> 01:00:34,030
OBJECTIVES THAT WE'RE SETTING 

1829
01:00:34,030 --> 01:00:35,164
OUT. SO NO QUESTIONS FOR YOU. 

1830
01:00:35,164 --> 01:00:37,367
BUT IF YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY 

1831
01:00:37,367 --> 01:00:37,934
REACTIONS OR THINGS THAT I 

1832
01:00:37,934 --> 01:00:40,703
SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT AS I'M

1833
01:00:40,703 --> 01:00:43,606
GOING THROUGH WITH THAT MINDSET 

1834
01:00:43,606 --> 01:00:44,641
-- I'LL JUST SAY THAT YOU ARE 

1835
01:00:44,641 --> 01:00:48,177
CORRECT IN YOUR STATEMENT THAT 

1836
01:00:48,177 --> 01:00:49,879
SOME OF THE HOUSE OH FUNDED 

1837
01:00:49,879 --> 01:00:51,080
HOUSING THAT IS ONLINE, 

1838
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:54,017
ESPECIALLY OUR STUDIOS AND ONE 

1839
01:00:54,017 --> 01:00:54,650
BEDROOMS ARE COMMENSURATE WITH 

1840
01:00:54,650 --> 01:00:55,718
THE MARKET, SOMETIMES A LITTLE 

1841
01:00:55,718 --> 01:00:58,087
HIGHER THAN THE MARKET. AND SO 

1842
01:00:58,087 --> 01:00:59,856
SOME OF THOSE UNITS AND PROJECTS

1843
01:00:59,856 --> 01:01:01,758
ARE STRUGGLING. I DO THINK OH 

1844
01:01:01,758 --> 01:01:03,926
HAS ADAPTED THEIR UNDERWRITING 

1845
01:01:03,926 --> 01:01:04,627
CRITERIA AS THEY'RE FUNDING NEW

1846
01:01:04,627 --> 01:01:05,528
AWARDS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF 

1847
01:01:05,528 --> 01:01:08,097
YEARS TO RESPOND TO THAT VERY 

1848
01:01:08,097 --> 01:01:09,599
BEING VERY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT WHEN

1849
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:10,700
PROJECTS COME IN, WHAT ARE THE 

1850
01:01:10,700 --> 01:01:12,468
MARKET RATE RENTS IN THOSE 

1851
01:01:12,468 --> 01:01:14,303
AREAS, REALLY EMPHASIZING THE 0 

1852
01:01:14,303 --> 01:01:16,039
TO 30% UNITS WHERE THERE IS A 

1853
01:01:16,039 --> 01:01:18,241
CLEAR NEED, EMPHASIZING THE 

1854
01:01:18,241 --> 01:01:19,575
FAMILY SIZED UNITS, WHERE 

1855
01:01:19,575 --> 01:01:21,377
THERE'S A CLEAR NEED. SO I HAVE

1856
01:01:21,377 --> 01:01:23,046
SEEN THEM ALL FORMALLY, NOT, YOU

1857
01:01:23,046 --> 01:01:24,681
KNOW, ACCORDING TO A FORMAL 

1858
01:01:24,681 --> 01:01:28,451
PLAN. RESPOND AND TRY TO UNDER 

1859
01:01:28,451 --> 01:01:29,952
REALLY FUND PROJECTS THAT WILL 

1860
01:01:29,952 --> 01:01:32,555
BE MEETING THE NEED AND MORE 

1861
01:01:32,555 --> 01:01:32,989
FINANCIALLY STABLE. 

1862
01:01:32,989 --> 01:01:36,459
-- THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES. ANY 

1863
01:01:36,459 --> 01:01:37,660
ONE WHO HASN'T SPOKEN YET. 

1864
01:01:37,660 --> 01:01:38,594
OTHERWISE I'M GOING TO GO 

1865
01:01:38,594 --> 01:01:39,195
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER TO CLOSE 

1866
01:01:39,195 --> 01:01:40,863
THIS OUT. 

1867
01:01:40,863 --> 01:01:42,098
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH. CHAIR 

1868
01:01:42,098 --> 01:01:44,767
STRAUSS. AND I JUST WANT TO 

1869
01:01:44,767 --> 01:01:45,535
APPRECIATE EVERYONE, ALL OF MY 

1870
01:01:45,535 --> 01:01:47,970
COLLEAGUES, FOR THE CONVERSATION

1871
01:01:47,970 --> 01:01:50,406
TODAY AND THE COMMITMENT TO 

1872
01:01:50,406 --> 01:01:52,141
SUPPORTING HOUSING AT ALL 

1873
01:01:52,141 --> 01:01:53,476
LEVELS. AND I REALLY APPRECIATED

1874
01:01:53,476 --> 01:01:55,211
HEARING THE SHARED COMMITMENT 

1875
01:01:55,211 --> 01:01:56,145
FROM FOLKS AROUND ENSURING THAT 

1876
01:01:56,145 --> 01:01:56,779
THE FUTURE DOLLARS IS DEDICATED 

1877
01:01:56,779 --> 01:01:59,782
TO THE OFFICE OF HOUSING REMAIN 

1878
01:01:59,782 --> 01:02:02,085
STABLE AND COMMITTED. THERE'S A

1879
01:02:02,085 --> 01:02:02,719
COUPLE OF THINGS I JUST WANTED 

1880
01:02:02,719 --> 01:02:03,386
TO TO SPEAK TO WITH SOME OF THE 

1881
01:02:03,386 --> 01:02:04,687
IDEAS THAT I HEARD TODAY. WE'VE

1882
01:02:04,687 --> 01:02:06,622
TALKED ABOUT THIS AT LENGTH IN 

1883
01:02:06,622 --> 01:02:08,458
COMMITTEE AS HOUSING CHAIR, BUT 

1884
01:02:08,458 --> 01:02:10,193
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE TO 

1885
01:02:10,193 --> 01:02:10,827
REMIND COLLEAGUES WE KNOW THAT 

1886
01:02:10,827 --> 01:02:13,096
WITH OUR HOUSING LEVY GOALS, 

1887
01:02:13,096 --> 01:02:15,465
WHICH WE WE NEED TO MEET, WE 

1888
01:02:15,465 --> 01:02:20,036
WILL NEED AT LEAST 40 MILLION OF

1889
01:02:20,036 --> 01:02:21,037
PET OR JUMPSTART DOLLARS JUST IN

1890
01:02:21,037 --> 01:02:22,605
ORDER TO MEET THOSE HOUSING LEVY

1891
01:02:22,605 --> 01:02:23,873
GOALS. SO I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE

1892
01:02:23,873 --> 01:02:26,909
THAT THAT IS THAT WE ALL HAVE 

1893
01:02:26,909 --> 01:02:27,543
AWARENESS AROUND THAT. I THINK 

1894
01:02:27,543 --> 01:02:28,311
IT'S IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW, I 

1895
01:02:28,311 --> 01:02:30,980
REALLY APPRECIATED THE 

1896
01:02:30,980 --> 01:02:32,215
DISCUSSION AROUND CREATIVITY AND

1897
01:02:32,215 --> 01:02:34,717
WAYS THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT 

1898
01:02:34,717 --> 01:02:36,652
THOSE RESOURCES REMAIN COMMITTED

1899
01:02:36,652 --> 01:02:38,387
TO, TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING INTO 

1900
01:02:38,387 --> 01:02:39,856
OH. BUT GIVEN THAT WE NEED 

1901
01:02:39,856 --> 01:02:41,724
JUMPSTART IN ORDER TO SUPPORT 

1902
01:02:41,724 --> 01:02:42,892
OUR HOUSING LEVY GOALS, I DO 

1903
01:02:42,892 --> 01:02:44,994
THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE 

1904
01:02:44,994 --> 01:02:46,395
A LOT OF CREATIVITY TO FIGURE 

1905
01:02:46,395 --> 01:02:47,864
OUT THE FLEXIBILITY NEEDED TO 

1906
01:02:47,864 --> 01:02:49,632
HAVE THE HOUSING LEVY GOALS SORT

1907
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:50,800
OF SERVE THAT DUAL PURPOSE. SO 

1908
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:52,235
LOOK FORWARD TO ANY FUTURE 

1909
01:02:52,235 --> 01:02:53,236
CONVERSATION THERE. BUT I DO 

1910
01:02:53,236 --> 01:02:55,304
WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT 

1911
01:02:55,304 --> 01:02:56,038
AWARENESS. I REALLY DEEPLY 

1912
01:02:56,038 --> 01:02:57,340
APPRECIATED THE CONVERSATION 

1913
01:02:57,340 --> 01:02:59,876
AROUND THE NEED FOR REGIONALISM 

1914
01:02:59,876 --> 01:03:00,676
AND A COORDINATED APPROACH, AND 

1915
01:03:00,676 --> 01:03:01,944
I WILL JUST TAKE THIS 

1916
01:03:01,944 --> 01:03:02,778
OPPORTUNITY TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOME 

1917
01:03:02,778 --> 01:03:04,413
OF THE WORK THAT'S ALREADY 

1918
01:03:04,413 --> 01:03:06,349
HAPPENING. AND THANK EXECUTIVES 

1919
01:03:06,349 --> 01:03:07,416
FOR HIS BREAKING THE CYCLE WORK,

1920
01:03:07,416 --> 01:03:09,018
WHERE WE'VE BEEN MEETING FOR 

1921
01:03:09,018 --> 01:03:11,120
SEVERAL MONTHS WITH PROVIDERS, 

1922
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:12,522
WITH STATE LEADERS, WITH 

1923
01:03:12,522 --> 01:03:14,590
REGIONAL LEADERS, FOLKS FROM THE

1924
01:03:14,590 --> 01:03:16,092
BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO TALK ABOUT

1925
01:03:16,092 --> 01:03:17,793
THESE EXACT QUESTIONS AND TO 

1926
01:03:17,793 --> 01:03:20,530
ENSURE THAT WE HAVE STRONG 

1927
01:03:20,530 --> 01:03:21,130
COORDINATION BECAUSE HOUSING 

1928
01:03:21,130 --> 01:03:21,664
AFFORDABILITY, JUST LIKE 

1929
01:03:21,664 --> 01:03:22,999
HOMELESSNESS, IS NOT JUST A CITY

1930
01:03:22,999 --> 01:03:24,433
ISSUE, IT'S A REGIONAL ISSUE. 

1931
01:03:24,433 --> 01:03:25,601
SO I KNOW THAT WORK WILL 

1932
01:03:25,601 --> 01:03:27,603
CONTINUE, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO 

1933
01:03:27,603 --> 01:03:28,771
CONTINUING TO SERVE IN THAT 

1934
01:03:28,771 --> 01:03:30,540
CAPACITY AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY

1935
01:03:30,540 --> 01:03:32,008
QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT WORK. I 

1936
01:03:32,008 --> 01:03:33,109
ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, YOU 

1937
01:03:33,109 --> 01:03:35,845
KNOW, AND JEN, I THINK YOU SPOKE

1938
01:03:35,845 --> 01:03:37,013
TO THIS THE WORK THAT OFFICE OF 

1939
01:03:37,013 --> 01:03:38,214
HOUSING HAS ALREADY DONE TO TO 

1940
01:03:38,214 --> 01:03:39,949
SORT OF LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING

1941
01:03:39,949 --> 01:03:42,752
IN THE, IN THE, IN THE COMMUNITY

1942
01:03:42,752 --> 01:03:43,820
HERE IN SEATTLE AND TO ADJUST. I

1943
01:03:43,820 --> 01:03:45,188
KNOW IN OUR MOST RECENT NOFA AND

1944
01:03:45,188 --> 01:03:46,422
I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBERS 

1945
01:03:46,422 --> 01:03:47,623
IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THEY 

1946
01:03:47,623 --> 01:03:50,059
PRIORITIZE UNITS THAT HAD TWO 

1947
01:03:50,059 --> 01:03:50,693
THAT WERE FAMILY SIZED UNITS AND

1948
01:03:50,693 --> 01:03:52,995
THAT NOFA. THEY ALSO PRIORITIZE 

1949
01:03:52,995 --> 01:03:54,430
UNITS THAT WERE FOR OUR LOWEST 

1950
01:03:54,430 --> 01:03:55,398
INCOME RESIDENTS. SO WE'RE 

1951
01:03:55,398 --> 01:03:56,465
ALREADY STARTING TO SEE THAT 

1952
01:03:56,465 --> 01:03:58,201
SHIFT. BUT I WILL ALSO SORT OF 

1953
01:03:58,201 --> 01:03:59,936
CAUTION AROUND COUNCIL DOING 

1954
01:03:59,936 --> 01:04:02,471
ANYTHING TO, TO OVER CONSTRAIN 

1955
01:04:02,471 --> 01:04:04,540
OH IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY'RE ABLE

1956
01:04:04,540 --> 01:04:06,108
TO PRODUCE, BECAUSE PART OF WHAT

1957
01:04:06,108 --> 01:04:07,577
WE'RE SEEING NOW IS THAT, YOU 

1958
01:04:07,577 --> 01:04:09,145
KNOW, IF WE HAVE THAT SLOWDOWN 

1959
01:04:09,145 --> 01:04:11,314
AND THOSE OTHER UNITS THAT WILL 

1960
01:04:11,314 --> 01:04:14,217
COME BACK TO VISIT US 6 TO 8 

1961
01:04:14,217 --> 01:04:15,451
YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. AND SO I DO

1962
01:04:15,451 --> 01:04:16,853
BELIEVE THAT WHILE WE NEED TO 

1963
01:04:16,853 --> 01:04:18,888
CONTINUE TO MAKE THESE 

1964
01:04:18,888 --> 01:04:19,522
INVESTMENTS IN MOST AFFORDABLE 

1965
01:04:19,522 --> 01:04:21,891
HOUSING, 0 TO 30, 0 TO 50% AMI, 

1966
01:04:21,891 --> 01:04:22,992
I ALSO KNOW THAT IF WE HAVE A 

1967
01:04:22,992 --> 01:04:25,828
SLOWDOWN IN THAT 60 OR 80%, WE 

1968
01:04:25,828 --> 01:04:27,196
MAY NOT BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. 

1969
01:04:27,196 --> 01:04:29,265
TEN YEARS FROM NOW, WE MAY BE 

1970
01:04:29,265 --> 01:04:30,833
ASKING A DIFFERENT QUESTION IF 

1971
01:04:30,833 --> 01:04:32,702
WE UNDERPRODUCE IN THAT AREA. SO

1972
01:04:32,702 --> 01:04:34,437
I THINK THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF 

1973
01:04:34,437 --> 01:04:37,740
GREAT WORK TO DO. I FEEL REALLY 

1974
01:04:37,740 --> 01:04:38,941
GRATEFUL AS HOUSING CHAIR, TO 

1975
01:04:38,941 --> 01:04:40,176
HAVE THE LEADERSHIP OF THE 

1976
01:04:40,176 --> 01:04:41,444
OFFICE OF HOUSING. I THINK WE 

1977
01:04:41,444 --> 01:04:43,179
HAVE SOME REALLY INTERESTING 

1978
01:04:43,179 --> 01:04:44,347
OPPORTUNITIES IN FRONT OF US 

1979
01:04:44,347 --> 01:04:45,882
THROUGH THE BUDGET CYCLE TO 

1980
01:04:45,882 --> 01:04:47,750
ENSURE THAT THE RESOURCES IN OH 

1981
01:04:47,750 --> 01:04:48,351
REMAIN DEDICATED, AND I 

1982
01:04:48,351 --> 01:04:50,486
CERTAINLY WILL BE LOOKING FOR 

1983
01:04:50,486 --> 01:04:52,188
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO PUT 

1984
01:04:52,188 --> 01:04:52,788
MONEY BACK INTO THE OFFICE OF 

1985
01:04:52,788 --> 01:04:54,657
HOUSING. IF WE HAVE A MORE 

1986
01:04:54,657 --> 01:04:56,459
POSITIVE BUDGET FORECAST. THANK 

1987
01:04:56,459 --> 01:04:56,792

1988
01:04:56,792 --> 01:04:57,927
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER

ANYTHING ELSE? SORRY, I SHOULD 

1991
01:04:59,795 --> 01:05:00,396
HAVE CHECKED WITH YOU FIRST. 

1992
01:05:00,396 --> 01:05:01,998
THEN WE'RE GOING TO TRANSITION 

1993
01:05:01,998 --> 01:05:03,399

2006
01:05:33,329 --> 01:05:33,596
-- OKAY. 

2007
01:05:33,596 --> 01:05:34,297
-- NOW THAT TECHNOLOGY HAS

01:05:36,432 --> 01:05:39,168
THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, AND 

2011
01:05:39,168 --> 01:05:39,835
THEN WE'LL RUN THROUGH 

2012
01:05:39,835 --> 01:05:40,136
QUESTIONS. 

2013
01:05:40,136 --> 01:05:41,737
-- THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING, 

2014
01:05:41,737 --> 01:05:44,073
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I AM KARINA 

2015
01:05:44,073 --> 01:05:46,309
BULL FROM COUNCIL. CENTRAL STAFF

2016
01:05:46,309 --> 01:05:47,977
TRACI IS INDEED THE LEGEND AND 

2017
01:05:47,977 --> 01:05:49,779
SHE CONTINUES TO MENTOR ME IN 

2018
01:05:49,779 --> 01:05:53,649
THIS WORK. I APPRECIATE HER 

2019
01:05:53,649 --> 01:05:56,218
PARTNERSHIP. SO WE'RE HERE TO 

2020
01:05:56,218 --> 01:05:58,954
DISCUSS AN OVERVIEW OF SEATTLE 

2021
01:05:58,954 --> 01:06:03,259
PARKS AND RECREATION'S 2027 2028

2022
01:06:03,259 --> 01:06:04,960
PROPOSED BUDGET. AS YOU'LL SEE 

2023
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:06,862
HERE IN THIS FIRST SLIDE, THE 

2024
01:06:06,862 --> 01:06:09,098
BUDGET WOULD INCREASE BY 10% $37

2025
01:06:09,098 --> 01:06:12,535
MILLION IN 2027 AS COMPARED TO 

2026
01:06:12,535 --> 01:06:14,370
THE 2026 ADOPTED BUDGET, AND 

2027
01:06:14,370 --> 01:06:17,273
INCREASE AGAIN BY 12% $49 

2028
01:06:17,273 --> 01:06:20,876
MILLION IN 2028 RELATIVE TO THE 

2029
01:06:20,876 --> 01:06:25,815
2027 PROPOSED BUDGET. AS FAR AS 

2030
01:06:25,815 --> 01:06:28,818
FUNDING GOES, THERE IS 

2031
01:06:28,818 --> 01:06:29,885
134,000,000 IN 2027 FROM THE 

2032
01:06:29,885 --> 01:06:32,154
GENERAL FUND. THESE OTHER 

2033
01:06:32,154 --> 01:06:33,923
SOURCES NOT LISTED HERE ARE 

2034
01:06:33,923 --> 01:06:36,092
ACTUALLY COMPRISED OF TEN FUNDS,

2035
01:06:36,092 --> 01:06:38,094
THE LARGEST OF WHICH IS THE PARK

2036
01:06:38,094 --> 01:06:40,763
DISTRICT FUND, WHICH IT RECEIVES

2037
01:06:40,763 --> 01:06:44,000
REVENUE FROM THE PARK DISTRICT 

2038
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,969
LEVY. THAT REVENUE IS SPENT 

2039
01:06:46,969 --> 01:06:49,171
ACCORDING TO A SIX YEAR 

2040
01:06:49,171 --> 01:06:50,706
FINANCIAL PLAN. IT'S WE'RE IN 

2041
01:06:50,706 --> 01:06:52,508
THE CYCLE TWO FINANCIAL PLAN. 

2042
01:06:52,508 --> 01:06:55,077
THIS LEVY WAS FIRST PASSED BACK 

2043
01:06:55,077 --> 01:06:57,546
IN 2014. SO WE'RE MID CYCLE 

2044
01:06:57,546 --> 01:07:00,649
RIGHT NOW. AND THERE IS A PARK 

2045
01:07:00,649 --> 01:07:02,284
DISTRICT BOARD MEETING THAT WILL

2046
01:07:02,284 --> 01:07:04,153
HAPPEN NEXT WEDNESDAY. AND WE 

2047
01:07:04,153 --> 01:07:05,454
WILL HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM 

2048
01:07:05,454 --> 01:07:08,457
SPR WHERE THEY WILL DIVE DEEPER 

2049
01:07:08,457 --> 01:07:09,959
INTO EXPLAINING HOW THE PARK 

2050
01:07:09,959 --> 01:07:13,129
DISTRICT FUNDS ARE USED IN THE 

2051
01:07:13,129 --> 01:07:15,965
2027 AND 2028 BUDGET. ALSO 

2052
01:07:15,965 --> 01:07:17,032
NOTABLE AS A SOURCE OF FUNDING 

2053
01:07:17,032 --> 01:07:19,769
IS THE PARK AND RECREATION FUND,

2054
01:07:19,769 --> 01:07:23,172
AND THAT'S FUNDED AT ABOUT $53 

2055
01:07:23,172 --> 01:07:28,210
MILLION IN 2027. THAT FUND 

2056
01:07:28,210 --> 01:07:30,379
CONSISTS OF ALL THE DIFFERENT 

2057
01:07:30,379 --> 01:07:30,913
REVENUE SOURCES THAT ARE 

2058
01:07:30,913 --> 01:07:33,482
INTENDED FOR PARKS, AND THAT CAN

2059
01:07:33,482 --> 01:07:35,384
INCLUDE STATE AND FEDERAL 

2060
01:07:35,384 --> 01:07:37,153
GRANTS, RECREATION, PROGRAMING 

2061
01:07:37,153 --> 01:07:39,288
FEES, SPORTS RENTAL FEES, 

2062
01:07:39,288 --> 01:07:39,922
PRIVATE DONATIONS. THERE'S A 

2063
01:07:39,922 --> 01:07:40,756
HOST OF THINGS THAT CONTRIBUTE 

2064
01:07:40,756 --> 01:07:44,894
TO THAT FUND. THEY ARE INTENDED 

2065
01:07:44,894 --> 01:07:45,928
FOR PARKS AND LAST, IT'S NOT 

2066
01:07:45,928 --> 01:07:46,762
LISTED HERE, BUT THE JUMPSTART 

2067
01:07:46,762 --> 01:07:49,565
FUND. IT'S A LATE SEASONING TO 

2068
01:07:49,565 --> 01:07:51,100
THE REVENUE FOR PARKS. IT'S 

2069
01:07:51,100 --> 01:07:55,871
ABOUT $200,000 A YEAR. THE 

2070
01:07:55,871 --> 01:07:57,873
PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE 

2071
01:07:57,873 --> 01:08:00,142
OPERATING SIDE OF SPR REFLECT 

2072
01:08:00,142 --> 01:08:02,178
TECHNICAL AND BASELINE 

2073
01:08:02,178 --> 01:08:04,380
ADJUSTMENTS. STRATEGIES TO 

2074
01:08:04,380 --> 01:08:04,980
MAINTAIN PROGRAMS WITHIN THE 

2075
01:08:04,980 --> 01:08:06,649
CONTEXT OF THE GENERAL FUND 

2076
01:08:06,649 --> 01:08:08,117
REVENUE SHORTFALL. THESE ARE 

2077
01:08:08,117 --> 01:08:10,719
BUDGET NEUTRAL CHANGES AND ALSO 

2078
01:08:10,719 --> 01:08:14,056
SEVERAL REDUCTIONS MOST PROGRAMS

2079
01:08:14,056 --> 01:08:15,791
AND SERVICES WOULD REMAIN AT 

2080
01:08:15,791 --> 01:08:18,027
SERVICE. IT WOULD REMAIN AT 

2081
01:08:18,027 --> 01:08:20,596
CURRENT LEVELS. THERE'S JUST A 

2082
01:08:20,596 --> 01:08:21,964
FEW NEW INITIATIVES AND YOU SEE 

2083
01:08:21,964 --> 01:08:23,532
THEM HERE. THERE'S A NEW 

2084
01:08:23,532 --> 01:08:25,434
INVESTMENT IN RAINIER BEACH 

2085
01:08:25,434 --> 01:08:26,569
YOUTH PROGRAMS, INCREASED 

2086
01:08:26,569 --> 01:08:28,304
SUPPORT FOR RECREATION PROGRAM 

2087
01:08:28,304 --> 01:08:30,172
SCHOLARSHIPS. IT'S ESSENTIALLY 

2088
01:08:30,172 --> 01:08:31,874
DOUBLING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY 

2089
01:08:31,874 --> 01:08:34,877
THAT PARKS HAS FOR THOSE 

2090
01:08:34,877 --> 01:08:35,377
SCHOLARSHIPS. AND THEN 

2091
01:08:35,377 --> 01:08:37,279
REALLOCATION OF SEATTLE 

2092
01:08:37,279 --> 01:08:39,381
CONSERVATION CORPS FUNDING TO BE

2093
01:08:39,381 --> 01:08:41,550
SPENT ON HUMAN RESOURCES 

2094
01:08:41,550 --> 01:08:44,220
STAFFING FOR CLIENT NEEDS. ALSO 

2095
01:08:44,220 --> 01:08:46,021
NOTABLE IS THE CONTINUED 

2096
01:08:46,021 --> 01:08:46,989
TRANSFER OF THE ADMISSION TAX 

2097
01:08:46,989 --> 01:08:48,824
REVENUE FROM OFFICE OF ARTS AND 

2098
01:08:48,824 --> 01:08:51,093
CULTURE FOR SPR ARTS PROGRAMS. 

2099
01:08:51,093 --> 01:08:53,062
THAT'S THE BUSKERS ARTS AND 

2100
01:08:53,062 --> 01:08:55,030
PARKS AND THE TEEN MUSICAL. THIS

2101
01:08:55,030 --> 01:08:56,665
IS AN ONGOING STRATEGY THAT WAS 

2102
01:08:56,665 --> 01:09:01,170
STARTED IN THE 2025 AND 2026 

2103
01:09:01,170 --> 01:09:02,638
BUDGETS. IT WAS. I THINK IT'S 

2104
01:09:02,638 --> 01:09:05,441
NOTABLE TO MENTION THAT IT WAS. 

2105
01:09:05,441 --> 01:09:07,143
IT WAS FIRST INTRODUCED BY THE 

2106
01:09:07,143 --> 01:09:08,978
EXECUTIVE AS MONEY THAT WOULD GO

2107
01:09:08,978 --> 01:09:10,946
DIRECTLY TO PARKS COUNCIL DID 

2108
01:09:10,946 --> 01:09:12,081
PASS AN AMENDMENT AMENDMENT THAT

2109
01:09:12,081 --> 01:09:15,651
HAS HAD THAT MONEY GO INTO 

2110
01:09:15,651 --> 01:09:17,520
OFFICE OF ARTS AND CULTURE, AND 

2111
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:18,120
THEN BE REIMBURSED TO PARKS. 

2112
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:19,722
THIS IS AN ONGOING STRATEGY 

2113
01:09:19,722 --> 01:09:21,056
WHERE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO 

2114
01:09:21,056 --> 01:09:22,124
HAPPEN. SO THE MONEY WILL 

2115
01:09:22,124 --> 01:09:23,926
CONTINUE TO GO TO OFFICE OF ARTS

2116
01:09:23,926 --> 01:09:26,595
AND CULTURE FROM THE ADMISSIONS 

2117
01:09:26,595 --> 01:09:32,334
TAX REVENUE, AND THEN PARKS WILL

2118
01:09:32,334 --> 01:09:33,235
REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FROM THAT 

2119
01:09:33,235 --> 01:09:34,336
FUND. SAME THING FOR SEATTLE 

2120
01:09:34,336 --> 01:09:37,139
CENTER, WHICH IS ALSO RECEIVING 

2121
01:09:37,139 --> 01:09:39,041
ADMISSION TAX REVENUE OR FUNDS. 

2122
01:09:39,041 --> 01:09:40,643
THERE ALSO IS A CONTINUED 

2123
01:09:40,643 --> 01:09:42,011
FUNDING FOR TEEN LATE NIGHT 

2124
01:09:42,011 --> 01:09:45,347
PROGRAM AT HIGH POINT COMMUNITY 

2125
01:09:45,347 --> 01:09:47,283
CENTER. THAT IS A REFLECTIVE OF 

2126
01:09:47,283 --> 01:09:48,617
CONTINUING A ONE TIME ADD FROM 

2127
01:09:48,617 --> 01:09:50,886
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET, SUBSIDIES 

2128
01:09:50,886 --> 01:09:53,022
FOR AQUATIC PROGRAMS. THE 

2129
01:09:53,022 --> 01:09:54,456
REDUCTIONS WILL. WE WILL TALK 

2130
01:09:54,456 --> 01:09:56,058
ABOUT LATER. THEY ARE TO THE 

2131
01:09:56,058 --> 01:09:57,726
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT AND 

2132
01:09:57,726 --> 01:09:59,461
PREVENTION STRATEGY PROGRAM AND 

2133
01:09:59,461 --> 01:10:02,698
THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM AS FAR AS 

2134
01:10:02,698 --> 01:10:08,804
CAPITAL. THIS IS WHERE WE SEE 

2135
01:10:08,804 --> 01:10:09,772
THE INCREASE TO PARKS BUDGET. 

2136
01:10:09,772 --> 01:10:10,873
AND THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS 

2137
01:10:10,873 --> 01:10:12,875
BECAUSE OF THE BOND ISSUANCE AND

2138
01:10:12,875 --> 01:10:15,244

ANNE COMMUNITY CENTER. THERE 

2144
01:10:23,986 --> 01:10:26,622
STILL ARE PLANS TO BUILD A 

2145
01:10:26,622 --> 01:10:28,123
COMMUNITY CENTER AT EIGHTH AND 

2146
01:10:28,123 --> 01:10:30,292
MERCER, BUT THOSE PLANS HAVE 

2147
01:10:30,292 --> 01:10:32,528
BEEN THE FUNDING FOR THOSE PLANS

2148
01:10:32,528 --> 01:10:35,230
HAS BEEN MOVED TO 2029 TO 

2149
01:10:35,230 --> 01:10:37,366
REFLECT UPDATED SCHEDULES FOR. 

2150
01:10:37,366 --> 01:10:40,002
FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT. 

2151
01:10:40,002 --> 01:10:41,537
THERE ALSO ARE ONGOING ONE TIME 

2152
01:10:41,537 --> 01:10:42,771
AND ONGOING FUNDS FOR NEW 

2153
01:10:42,771 --> 01:10:45,140
RESTROOMS, PLAY AREA 

2154
01:10:45,140 --> 01:10:46,875
RENOVATIONS, AND THERE'S A FAIR

2155
01:10:46,875 --> 01:10:50,145
AMOUNT OF DISTRIBUTION, 

2156
01:10:50,145 --> 01:10:50,779
REDISTRIBUTION OF PARK DISTRICT 

2157
01:10:50,779 --> 01:10:53,882
FUNDS BECAUSE OF THE THE CHANGES

2158
01:10:53,882 --> 01:10:55,351
IN BOND ISSUANCE AND DEBT 

2159
01:10:55,351 --> 01:10:55,918
SERVICE FOR THOSE COMMUNITY 

2160
01:10:55,918 --> 01:10:58,487
CENTER PROJECTS FREED UP, AND 

2161
01:10:58,487 --> 01:11:00,022
THE PUSHING OF THE EIGHTH AND 

2162
01:11:00,022 --> 01:11:02,591
MERCER PROJECT TO 2029 FREED UP 

2163
01:11:02,591 --> 01:11:04,226
PARK DISTRICT FUND BALANCE THAT 

2164
01:11:04,226 --> 01:11:05,728
COULD BE USED FOR OTHER 

2165
01:11:05,728 --> 01:11:08,864
PROJECTS. THERE ALSO IS, IN THIS

2166
01:11:08,864 --> 01:11:10,833
BUDGET, A REFLECTION OF REAL 

2167
01:11:10,833 --> 01:11:13,802
ESTATE EXCISE TAX REDUCTIONS AND

2168
01:11:13,802 --> 01:11:17,906
THE FORECAST FOR THAT IS IS LESS

2169
01:11:17,906 --> 01:11:19,541
THAN ANTICIPATED. AND SO THERE 

2170
01:11:19,541 --> 01:11:21,377
ARE GOING TO BE REDUCTIONS IN 

2171
01:11:21,377 --> 01:11:25,080
THE GAS PARK REMEDIATION, CIP. 

2172
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,751
THE CITY WILL STILL BE ABLE TO 

2173
01:11:28,751 --> 01:11:29,385
MEET ITS PARTNERSHIP COMMITMENTS

2174
01:11:29,385 --> 01:11:33,622
WITH SPU AND PUGET SOUND ENERGY.

2175
01:11:33,622 --> 01:11:36,558
THE MAYBE THE MOST NOTABLE 

2176
01:11:36,558 --> 01:11:37,059
CHANGE HERE IS THAT THE 

2177
01:11:37,059 --> 01:11:39,962
WESTFIELD WEST MAGNOLIA 

2178
01:11:39,962 --> 01:11:41,997
PLAYFIELD CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 

2179
01:11:41,997 --> 01:11:44,233
PROJECT IS ESSENTIALLY UNFUNDED.

2180
01:11:44,233 --> 01:11:47,670
ACROSS THIS SIX YEAR CIP AND 

2181
01:11:47,670 --> 01:11:48,170
PARKS IS MAINTAINING A 

2182
01:11:48,170 --> 01:11:50,005
COMMITMENT TO FUNDING THAT CIP. 

2183
01:11:50,005 --> 01:11:52,574
AND AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING TOWARDS

2184
01:11:52,574 --> 01:11:53,942
THE CYCLE THREE OF THE PARK 

2185
01:11:53,942 --> 01:11:56,412
DISTRICT FOR THAT FUNDING. 

2186
01:11:56,412 --> 01:11:56,945
THERE'S ALSO AN ONGOING 

2187
01:11:56,945 --> 01:11:58,514
REALIGNMENT OF PARK DISTRICT 

2188
01:11:58,514 --> 01:12:01,050
FUNDS TO SUPPORT GROUND 

2189
01:12:01,050 --> 01:12:01,617
MAINTENANCE AT $7 MILLION. 

2190
01:12:01,617 --> 01:12:02,217
THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A 

2191
01:12:02,217 --> 01:12:06,522
COUPLE OF YEARS, AND NOW IT IS 

2192
01:12:06,522 --> 01:12:09,425
AN ONGOING STRATEGY AS FAR AS 

2193
01:12:09,425 --> 01:12:11,493
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS, WHEN 

2194
01:12:11,493 --> 01:12:12,061
PARKS WAS PRESENTING THEIR 

2195
01:12:12,061 --> 01:12:15,564
BUDGET A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, 

2196
01:12:15,564 --> 01:12:16,265
THERE WERE THERE WAS FEEDBACK 

2197
01:12:16,265 --> 01:12:18,267
FROM COUNCIL, MANY QUESTIONS 

2198
01:12:18,267 --> 01:12:21,070
ABOUT THE REDUCTIONS TO THE 

2199
01:12:21,070 --> 01:12:24,473
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT PROGRAM. SO 

2200
01:12:24,473 --> 01:12:26,308
THEY CONSIST OF TWO PARTS. THE 

2201
01:12:26,308 --> 01:12:29,778
FIRST ONE IS, IS ACTUALLY IT 

2202
01:12:29,778 --> 01:12:31,447
REFLECTS A REDUCTION TO THE 

2203
01:12:31,447 --> 01:12:33,182
BASELINE BUDGET. IT'S A 500,000

2204
01:12:33,182 --> 01:12:36,452
GENERAL FUND. THIS WOULD REMOVE 

2205
01:12:36,452 --> 01:12:37,720
ONLY NON-LABOR DISCRETIONARY 

2206
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,022
FUNDS FOR GRAFFITI ABATEMENT AND

2207
01:12:40,022 --> 01:12:40,589
PREVENTION STRATEGIES. THIS 

2208
01:12:40,589 --> 01:12:42,424
FUNDING WAS ADDED IN THE PRIOR 

2209
01:12:42,424 --> 01:12:46,428
BY THE PRIOR ADMINISTRATION FOR 

2210
01:12:46,428 --> 01:12:49,431
CREATIVE STRATEGIES TO PREVENT 

2211
01:12:49,431 --> 01:12:50,566
GRAFFITI BEFORE IT HAPPENS, SUCH

2212
01:12:50,566 --> 01:12:52,801
AS YOUTH EDUCATION WORKSHOPS, 

2213
01:12:52,801 --> 01:12:55,404
SUPPORT FOR MURALS, ART SUPPLIES

2214
01:12:55,404 --> 01:12:57,906
AND ADDITIONALLY VENDOR 

2215
01:12:57,906 --> 01:12:59,508
CONTRACTS TO ASSIST WITH 

2216
01:12:59,508 --> 01:13:01,377
DIFFICULT ABATEMENT ON PRIVATE 

2217
01:13:01,377 --> 01:13:03,245
PROPERTY. THE ACTUAL USE OF 

2218
01:13:03,245 --> 01:13:05,147
THESE FUNDS IN THE 2026 BUDGET 

2219
01:13:05,147 --> 01:13:08,884
THUS FAR HAS BEEN FOR ONE TIME 

2220
01:13:08,884 --> 01:13:09,518
OVERTIME EXPENSES RELATED TO THE

2221
01:13:09,518 --> 01:13:11,453
WORLD CUP AND EQUIPMENT 

2222
01:13:11,453 --> 01:13:15,190
PURCHASES SO THAT THE IMPACT OF 

2223
01:13:15,190 --> 01:13:20,629
NOT HAVING THESE FUNDS IN IN THE

2224
01:13:20,629 --> 01:13:22,164
CURRENT YEAR WON'T IMPACT 

2225
01:13:22,164 --> 01:13:24,399
SERVICE LEVELS, BUT IT DEPENDS 

2226
01:13:24,399 --> 01:13:25,701
ON WHAT COUNCIL'S PRIORITIES 

2227
01:13:25,701 --> 01:13:27,569
ARE AS WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE 

2228
01:13:27,569 --> 01:13:30,038
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE GRAFFITI 

2229
01:13:30,038 --> 01:13:31,373
ABATEMENT PROGRAM. THERE'S ALSO

2230
01:13:31,373 --> 01:13:32,241
A REFLECTION OF A REMOVAL OF ONE

2231
01:13:32,241 --> 01:13:34,777
TIME COUNCIL ADDED FUNDS IN THE 

2232
01:13:34,777 --> 01:13:39,414
2026 ADOPTED BUDGET OF $950,000.

2233
01:13:39,414 --> 01:13:41,550
GENERAL FUND FOR CONTRACT WITH 

2234
01:13:41,550 --> 01:13:42,184
THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION FOR 

2235
01:13:42,184 --> 01:13:43,786
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT ON PRIVATE 

2236
01:13:43,786 --> 01:13:46,155
PROPERTY. NOW, THIS ISN'T A CUT

2237
01:13:46,155 --> 01:13:50,058
TO THE BUDGET. IT'S IT'S IT'S A

2238
01:13:50,058 --> 01:13:50,692
REFLECTION OF THE EXECUTIVE'S 

2239
01:13:50,692 --> 01:13:52,995
DECISION TO REMOVE THIS ONE TIME

2240
01:13:52,995 --> 01:13:55,697
FUNDING AND NOT ADD IT BACK. 

2241
01:13:55,697 --> 01:13:57,032
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS A AS A 

2242
01:13:57,032 --> 01:13:59,468
CONSEQUENCE OF NOT HAVING THIS 

2243
01:13:59,468 --> 01:14:01,570
FUNDING, IS THAT SEATTLE PARKS 

2244
01:14:01,570 --> 01:14:02,971
AND RECREATION WILL HAVE A 

2245
01:14:02,971 --> 01:14:06,141
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED ABILITY TO

2246
01:14:06,141 --> 01:14:08,444
ADDRESS GRAFFITI ON PRIVATE 

2247
01:14:08,444 --> 01:14:10,646
PROPERTY. THE EXISTING TEAM OF 

2248
01:14:10,646 --> 01:14:11,914
GRAFFITI RANGERS CAN DO THIS 

2249
01:14:11,914 --> 01:14:14,483
WORK, AND THEY DO. IT'S JUST A.

2250
01:14:14,483 --> 01:14:16,084
IT'S A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF

2251
01:14:16,084 --> 01:14:19,421
WHAT THEY ARE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH

2252
01:14:19,421 --> 01:14:22,191
BECAUSE THEIR FOCUS IS ON 

2253
01:14:22,191 --> 01:14:23,826
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT, ON PUBLIC 

2254
01:14:23,826 --> 01:14:25,060
ASSETS. AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT 

2255
01:14:25,060 --> 01:14:28,564
THIS YEAR, SO FAR, THEY'VE HAD 

2256
01:14:28,564 --> 01:14:31,133
ALMOST 11,000 GRAFFITI ABATEMENT

2257
01:14:31,133 --> 01:14:32,334
ACTIVITIES, A LITTLE MORE THAN 

2258
01:14:32,334 --> 01:14:32,901
200 OF THOSE HAVE BEEN ON 

2259
01:14:32,901 --> 01:14:38,807
PRIVATE PROPERTY. SO AS AS FAR 

2260
01:14:38,807 --> 01:14:41,076
AS POLICY OPTIONS, IT THERE 

2261
01:14:41,076 --> 01:14:43,178
COULD BE FINDING FUNDING FOR 

2262
01:14:43,178 --> 01:14:44,980
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT STRATEGIES OR

2263
01:14:44,980 --> 01:14:46,715
FINDING FUNDING FOR A CONTRACT 

2264
01:14:46,715 --> 01:14:48,050
WITH A COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION, A

2265
01:14:48,050 --> 01:14:49,585
COMBINATION OF THOSE OR OF 

2266
01:14:49,585 --> 01:14:53,856
COURSE, NO CHANGE THE NEXT 

2267
01:14:53,856 --> 01:14:55,858
POLICY CONSIDERATION, I'M JUST 

2268
01:14:55,858 --> 01:14:58,393
TEEING UP AN GORMAN WHO STAFFS 

2269
01:14:58,393 --> 01:15:00,362
THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM THAT IS 

2270
01:15:00,362 --> 01:15:01,964
COORDINATED BY THE HUMAN 

2271
01:15:01,964 --> 01:15:03,665
SERVICES DEPARTMENT, IS GOING TO

2272
01:15:03,665 --> 01:15:05,567
DIVE DEEP INTO THIS. DURING HER 

2273
01:15:05,567 --> 01:15:08,237
HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT POLICY

2274
01:15:08,237 --> 01:15:09,371
CONSIDERATION. BUT JUST TO TEE 

2275
01:15:09,371 --> 01:15:13,342
IT UP FOR YOU TODAY, I WILL NOTE

2276
01:15:13,342 --> 01:15:16,545
THAT THE PROPOSED BUDGET DOES 

2277
01:15:16,545 --> 01:15:18,514
REFLECT A $900,000 GENERAL FUND 

2278
01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:20,415
REDUCTION TO SUPPORT FOR THE 

2279
01:15:20,415 --> 01:15:22,150
UNIFIED CARE TEAM. THAT WOULD 

2280
01:15:22,150 --> 01:15:24,920
INCLUDE REMOVAL OF THREE VACANT 

2281
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,723
POSITIONS AND FEWER NON LABOR 

2282
01:15:27,723 --> 01:15:28,257
RESOURCES FOR CONTRACTED 

2283
01:15:28,257 --> 01:15:29,491
SERVICES. I BELIEVE MAINLY FOR 

2284
01:15:29,491 --> 01:15:34,196
WASTE DISPOSAL, AND WOULD ALSO 

2285
01:15:34,196 --> 01:15:34,830
REFLECT THE MOVING OF TWO VACANT

2286
01:15:34,830 --> 01:15:37,065
HEAVY EQUIPMENT TRUCK DRIVER 

2287
01:15:37,065 --> 01:15:38,967
POSITIONS THAT HAD BEEN 

2288
01:15:38,967 --> 01:15:40,769
DESIGNATED FOR THE UNIFIED CARE 

2289
01:15:40,769 --> 01:15:42,137
TEAM BACK TO NATURAL RESOURCES, 

2290
01:15:42,137 --> 01:15:44,606
WHICH IS WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE 

2291
01:15:44,606 --> 01:15:46,308
THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM WAS 

2292
01:15:46,308 --> 01:15:48,577
ASSEMBLED AT SEATTLE PARKS AND 

2293
01:15:48,577 --> 01:15:51,914
RECREATION BACK IN 2023. I WILL 

2294
01:15:51,914 --> 01:15:54,116
NOTE THAT HOW I AM FRAMING THE 

2295
01:15:54,116 --> 01:15:54,816
REDUCTION TO UNIFIED CARE TEAM 

2296
01:15:54,816 --> 01:15:56,418
WILL BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT 

2297
01:15:56,418 --> 01:15:58,921
THAN HOW ANN DOES IN THAT I'M 

2298
01:15:58,921 --> 01:16:01,323
FRAMING IT AS A $900,000 

2299
01:16:01,323 --> 01:16:03,392
REDUCTION IN THE GENERAL FUND TO

2300
01:16:03,392 --> 01:16:06,628
SPR. BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT 

2301
01:16:06,628 --> 01:16:07,963
THE REDUCTION IN U. C T 

2302
01:16:07,963 --> 01:16:10,699
CAPACITY, IT IS LARGER BECAUSE 

2303
01:16:10,699 --> 01:16:12,100
THE THE MONEY THAT WOULD BE 

2304
01:16:12,100 --> 01:16:14,369
SPENT ON THE TWO VACANT HEAVY 

2305
01:16:14,369 --> 01:16:16,204
EQUIPMENT TRUCK DRIVER POSITIONS

2306
01:16:16,204 --> 01:16:19,808
IS NOW BEING MOVED OVER BACK TO 

2307
01:16:19,808 --> 01:16:23,111
THE NATURAL RESOURCES. SO WHAT 

2308
01:16:23,111 --> 01:16:25,047
WE'VE HEARD FROM SPR IS THAT 

2309
01:16:25,047 --> 01:16:28,350
THESE CHANGES WILL NOT IMPACT 

2310
01:16:28,350 --> 01:16:29,318
CURRENT SERVICE LEVELS FOR THE 

2311
01:16:29,318 --> 01:16:30,519
UNIFIED CARE TEAM, THAT THEY ARE

2312
01:16:30,519 --> 01:16:32,821
BEING FRAMED AS RIGHT SIZING THE

2313
01:16:32,821 --> 01:16:35,190
BUDGET FOR WHAT IS ACTUALLY 

2314
01:16:35,190 --> 01:16:36,558
HAPPENING ON THE GROUND. AND SO 

2315
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:39,428
ONE COULD THINK ABOUT IT AS A AS

2316
01:16:39,428 --> 01:16:41,330
A CHANGE TO THE CAPACITY FOR THE

2317
01:16:41,330 --> 01:16:45,000
U. C TEAM AND AGAIN, ANN WILL GO

2318
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:46,101
AND GORMAN WILL GO INTO MORE 

2319
01:16:46,101 --> 01:16:48,203
DETAIL ABOUT THAT DURING HER HSD

2320
01:16:48,203 --> 01:16:53,208
PRESENTATION THAT CONCLUDES. 

2321
01:16:53,208 --> 01:16:54,309
-- THANK YOU, KARINA. AND OVER 

2322
01:16:54,309 --> 01:16:55,777
TO COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ. AS 

2323
01:16:55,777 --> 01:16:57,145
CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE 

2324
01:16:57,145 --> 01:16:57,779
OVERSEEING THIS DEPARTMENT, THE 

2325
01:16:57,779 --> 01:16:59,548
FLOOR IS YOURS. 

2326
01:16:59,548 --> 01:17:03,085
-- THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I HAD 

2327
01:17:03,085 --> 01:17:05,988
AN OPENING STATEMENT, BUT 

2328
01:17:05,988 --> 01:17:07,289
THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE YOU 

2329
01:17:07,289 --> 01:17:08,690
COVERED SOME OF THAT, WHICH WENT

2330
01:17:08,690 --> 01:17:09,891
IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL. I 

2331
01:17:09,891 --> 01:17:12,127
GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE NERDY IN 

2332
01:17:12,127 --> 01:17:13,595
THE BUDGET, BUT ON THE 

2333
01:17:13,595 --> 01:17:15,497
OPERATIONAL. SO THE GOOD NEWS 

2334
01:17:15,497 --> 01:17:16,999
IS, ON THE OPERATIONAL SIDE, IT 

2335
01:17:16,999 --> 01:17:19,768
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOOD WITH THE 

2336
01:17:19,768 --> 01:17:24,473
CHANGE OF, WHAT, 2.8 MILLION 

2337
01:17:24,473 --> 01:17:26,174
CHANGE FOR THAT. AND THE FTES 

2338
01:17:26,174 --> 01:17:28,076
REMAIN THE SAME. AND I 

2339
01:17:28,076 --> 01:17:30,612
UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S BUDGET 

2340
01:17:30,612 --> 01:17:31,980
NEUTRAL ON THE FOUR AND A HALF 

2341
01:17:31,980 --> 01:17:33,482
FTES THAT WERE MOVED, AND THEN 

2342
01:17:33,482 --> 01:17:36,652
THE FTES THAT WERE PUT BACK IN. 

2343
01:17:36,652 --> 01:17:37,753
SO MY FOCUS ON THE CAPITAL 

2344
01:17:37,753 --> 01:17:39,221
PIECE, I KNOW THAT WE HAD AN 

2345
01:17:39,221 --> 01:17:41,423
INCREASE BECAUSE OF THE BOND 

2346
01:17:41,423 --> 01:17:42,891
WORK. I WANT TO JUST FOCUS ON A 

2347
01:17:42,891 --> 01:17:45,327
FEW AREAS, AND IF SOME OF IT YOU

2348
01:17:45,327 --> 01:17:46,094
MENTIONED. BUT I JUST WANT TO GO

2349
01:17:46,094 --> 01:17:49,464
BACK IN CASE I NEED TO HAVE SOME

2350
01:17:49,464 --> 01:17:51,633

2364
01:18:17,492 --> 01:18:18,560
DON'T KNOW IF YOU MENTIONED 

2365
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:21,630
THIS AND I WAS TAKING NOTES, SO 

2366
01:18:21,630 --> 01:18:22,698
PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I'M 

2367
01:18:22,698 --> 01:18:23,398
REPEATING SOME OF THIS, BUT I 

2368
01:18:23,398 --> 01:18:24,966
WANT MY COLLEAGUES TO HEAR THIS 

2369
01:18:24,966 --> 01:18:26,501
AS WELL. ON THE PRIORITY 

2370
01:18:26,501 --> 01:18:27,836
PROJECTS THAT WERE INCLUDED ARE

01:18:27,836 --> 01:18:29,871

THE INCLUSIVE VALLEY AREA. 

2378
01:18:44,786 --> 01:18:46,521
INCLUSIVE ELEMENTS. IT SAYS D 

2379
01:18:46,521 --> 01:18:47,823
SIX. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE 

2380
01:18:47,823 --> 01:18:48,824
PROJECTS THAT WE FOCUSED IN ON 

2381
01:18:48,824 --> 01:18:50,325
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE 

2382
01:18:50,325 --> 01:18:53,628
COVERED IN THE IN THE BUDGET. I 

2383
01:18:53,628 --> 01:18:54,629
HAD TWO AREAS WHERE THE THIS IS 

2384
01:18:54,629 --> 01:18:56,531
WHERE KIND OF THE BAD NEWS IS 

2385
01:18:56,531 --> 01:18:59,034
NOT BAD NEWS CONCERN. OBVIOUSLY,

2386
01:18:59,034 --> 01:19:01,737
I'M. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE 

2387
01:19:01,737 --> 01:19:05,307
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT REDUCTION. 

2388
01:19:05,307 --> 01:19:05,941
THE THE REMOVAL OF THE 500,000 

2389
01:19:05,941 --> 01:19:08,777
AND THEN THE 950, EVEN THOUGH IT

2390
01:19:08,777 --> 01:19:10,612
SAYS REMOVAL OF ONE TIME I GET 

2391
01:19:10,612 --> 01:19:13,048
THAT. AND WHAT THE OPTIONS 

2392
01:19:13,048 --> 01:19:15,150
INCLUDE. AND THEN GOING BACK TO 

2393
01:19:15,150 --> 01:19:16,718
THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM. AND I 

2394
01:19:16,718 --> 01:19:18,687
KNOW THAT I HAD LEARNED THAT IT 

2395
01:19:18,687 --> 01:19:20,088
IS GOING TO BE REDUCED, AND YOU 

2396
01:19:20,088 --> 01:19:22,424
ARE GOING TO HAVE A DEEPER DIVE 

2397
01:19:22,424 --> 01:19:25,827
ON THAT ON THURSDAY, WHEN HSD 

2398
01:19:25,827 --> 01:19:27,462
PRESENTS AND COUNCILMEMBER RINCK

2399
01:19:27,462 --> 01:19:30,298
WILL WILL LEAD THAT DISCUSSION. 

2400
01:19:30,298 --> 01:19:31,700
SO I GUESS THERE'S NOT A WHOLE 

2401
01:19:31,700 --> 01:19:36,471
LOT THERE. I WAS LOOKING AT THE 

2402
01:19:36,471 --> 01:19:37,339
FUN SWAPS. AND JUST HELP ME OUT 

2403
01:19:37,339 --> 01:19:40,709
A LITTLE BIT HERE, BECAUSE I AM.

2404
01:19:40,709 --> 01:19:42,344
I'M ALSO THE AM I THE PRESIDENT

2405
01:19:42,344 --> 01:19:44,012
OF THE MPD? SO WE'RE LOOKING AT

2406
01:19:44,012 --> 01:19:51,653
THE FUN SWAPS, THE 7.1. IN THE 

2407
01:19:51,653 --> 01:19:55,056
THE GROUND MAINTENANCE, THE 1.6 

2408
01:19:55,056 --> 01:19:57,159
FOR THE AQUARIUM, THE 600 K FOR 

2409
01:19:57,159 --> 01:19:59,461
THE RAINIER YOUTH PROGRAM, AND 

2410
01:19:59,461 --> 01:20:02,731
400,000 FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER

2411
01:20:02,731 --> 01:20:04,432
SCHOLARSHIPS. THOSE FUNDS SWAPS 

2412
01:20:04,432 --> 01:20:06,101
WILL. I'M GUESSING WE'LL HAVE A

2413
01:20:06,101 --> 01:20:09,304
DEEPER DISCUSSION ON THOSE WHEN 

2414
01:20:09,304 --> 01:20:10,071
WE DO THE MPD BUDGET. WHEN WE. 

2415
01:20:10,071 --> 01:20:13,241
WHEN WE DO THAT AS A AS A BODY, 

2416
01:20:13,241 --> 01:20:14,810
AS A WHOLE. SO THAT WAS ONE 

2417
01:20:14,810 --> 01:20:16,144
QUESTION. AND THEN I'M GOING TO

2418
01:20:16,144 --> 01:20:19,748
HOLD ON ALL MY QUESTIONS ON 

2419
01:20:19,748 --> 01:20:20,182
UNIFIED CARE TEAM. 

2420
01:20:20,182 --> 01:20:21,783
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS CAME ABOUT 

2421
01:20:21,783 --> 01:20:24,819
AGAIN, BEING THE ELDER HERE. 

2422
01:20:24,819 --> 01:20:27,088
UNIFIED CARE TEAM GREW OUT OF 

2423
01:20:27,088 --> 01:20:30,492
SAFE BACK IN 18 OR 19 AND 

2424
01:20:30,492 --> 01:20:32,427
CERTAINLY AFTER 20, WHERE WE 

2425
01:20:32,427 --> 01:20:34,896
STARTED PUTTING MONEY INTO 

2426
01:20:34,896 --> 01:20:39,534
PARKS. SPU SPD. EVERYONE, 

2427
01:20:39,534 --> 01:20:40,535
BASICALLY, I THINK THEY WERE 

2428
01:20:40,535 --> 01:20:42,904
LIKE SIX CITY GROUPS TO FOCUS ON

2429
01:20:42,904 --> 01:20:45,240
CLEANING PARKS AND PROVIDING 

2430
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:46,174
MORE SERVICES TO CLEANING OUT 

2431
01:20:46,174 --> 01:20:47,309
THE BATHROOMS, PUTTING OUT THE 

2432
01:20:47,309 --> 01:20:48,777
PURPLE BAGS, MAKING SURE 

2433
01:20:48,777 --> 01:20:50,745
THERE'S HANDWASHING, STATIONS, 

2434
01:20:50,745 --> 01:20:54,349
ET CETERA.. AND AS YOU KNOW, AND

2435
01:20:54,349 --> 01:20:55,016
I'M JUST GOING TO TOUCH ON THIS

2436
01:20:55,016 --> 01:20:57,085
NOW, AND I'LL PROBABLY DRILL 

2437
01:20:57,085 --> 01:20:59,020
DOWN MORE ON THURSDAY. I'M 

2438
01:20:59,020 --> 01:21:01,990
REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE UKTI,

2439
01:21:01,990 --> 01:21:06,895
THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM AND THE 

2440
01:21:06,895 --> 01:21:08,430
REDUCTION. WHEN WE CONTINUE TO 

2441
01:21:08,430 --> 01:21:10,198
EXPERIENCE ISSUES OF PUBLIC 

2442
01:21:10,198 --> 01:21:12,033
SAFETY IN OUR PARKS, INCLUDING 

2443
01:21:12,033 --> 01:21:13,835
THE ENCAMPMENTS, DRUG DEALING, 

2444
01:21:13,835 --> 01:21:15,704
SHOOTINGS, ET CETERA.. SO I 

2445
01:21:15,704 --> 01:21:17,038
APPRECIATE THAT YOU SAY WE'RE 

2446
01:21:17,038 --> 01:21:17,639
GOING TO KIND OF KICK SOME OF 

2447
01:21:17,639 --> 01:21:22,677
THIS OVER TO THURSDAY, BUT I'M 

2448
01:21:22,677 --> 01:21:23,545
HOPING THAT THERE WILL BE IN IN 

2449
01:21:23,545 --> 01:21:24,145
OTHER WORD, I DON'T LIKE TO 

2450
01:21:24,145 --> 01:21:27,115
USE, BUT I WILL USE ROBUST 

2451
01:21:27,115 --> 01:21:28,416
CONVERSATION ABOUT WHY THE 

2452
01:21:28,416 --> 01:21:29,451
UNIFIED CARE TEAM IS SO 

2453
01:21:29,451 --> 01:21:32,420
IMPORTANT AND WHY IT WAS CREATED

2454
01:21:32,420 --> 01:21:34,956
TO BEGIN WITH, PARTICULARLY NOW 

2455
01:21:34,956 --> 01:21:36,024
IN 2026, AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO

2456
01:21:36,024 --> 01:21:37,325
LOOK LIKE IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS 

2457
01:21:37,325 --> 01:21:41,630
OUT WITH AN INCREASE IN VIOLENT 

2458
01:21:41,630 --> 01:21:43,865
CRIME. THAT REALLY CONCERNS ME. 

2459
01:21:43,865 --> 01:21:46,134
SO YOU KIND OF ALREADY HIT THE 

2460
01:21:46,134 --> 01:21:49,137
POINTS THAT I WAS PREPARED TO 

2461
01:21:49,137 --> 01:21:50,505
SHARE IN THE BEGINNING, BUT I, I

2462
01:21:50,505 --> 01:21:51,773
DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SAID 

2463
01:21:51,773 --> 01:21:53,174
THIS. I'M ACTUALLY KIND OF 

2464
01:21:53,174 --> 01:21:56,211
HAPPY WITH THIS BUDGET PIECE ON 

2465
01:21:56,211 --> 01:21:57,612
THE OPERATING IN THE CAPITAL. 

2466
01:21:57,612 --> 01:21:59,714
SOME OF THESE THINGS HAVE 

2467
01:21:59,714 --> 01:22:00,348
FOLLOWED THROUGH, PARTICULARLY 

2468
01:22:00,348 --> 01:22:01,449
THE NEW INVESTMENTS, 

2469
01:22:01,449 --> 01:22:02,250
PARTICULARLY THE COMMUNITY 

2470
01:22:02,250 --> 01:22:03,885
CENTERS. BUT AGAIN, THE ISSUES 

2471
01:22:03,885 --> 01:22:06,454
I'M GOING TO HAVE ARE THE 

2472
01:22:06,454 --> 01:22:07,889
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT REDUCTION. 

2473
01:22:07,889 --> 01:22:09,024
AND I KNOW THAT YOU LAID OUT 

2474
01:22:09,024 --> 01:22:11,293
SOME OPTIONS FOR US A, B, C AND 

2475
01:22:11,293 --> 01:22:12,460
D, AND OF COURSE, THE UNIFIED 

2476
01:22:12,460 --> 01:22:15,163
CARE TEAM. AND WITH THAT, MR. 

2477
01:22:15,163 --> 01:22:17,866
CHAIR, I THINK THAT'S THE END OF

2478
01:22:17,866 --> 01:22:19,401
MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU. 

2479
01:22:19,401 --> 01:22:21,803
-- THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 

2480
01:22:21,803 --> 01:22:22,437
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ COLLEAGUES,

01:22:22,437 --> 01:22:25,240

WHICH ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS I'M 

2490
01:22:37,919 --> 01:22:39,654
GOING TO HIGHLIGHT AS WELL, BOTH

2491
01:22:39,654 --> 01:22:42,223
AS VICE CHAIR, PARKS AND CHAIR 

2492
01:22:42,223 --> 01:22:44,960
OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE. 

2493
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:46,394
MISS BULL. MR. CHOW, THANK YOU 

2494
01:22:46,394 --> 01:22:47,395
FOR BEING HERE AND FOR YOUR 

2495
01:22:47,395 --> 01:22:48,630
POINTS. YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE 

2496
01:22:48,630 --> 01:22:52,801
HERE'S THE POINT. RIGHT SIZING 

2497
01:22:52,801 --> 01:22:54,269
REALLY, YOU KNOW, HALF A DECADE 

2498
01:22:54,269 --> 01:22:55,837
PLUS AGO, WE WENT THROUGH THE 

2499
01:22:55,837 --> 01:22:59,841
DEFUND MOMENT. AND NOW WE'RE 

2500
01:22:59,841 --> 01:23:01,676
GOING THROUGH THE UNFUN MOMENT 

2501
01:23:01,676 --> 01:23:03,845
AND THAT'S HAVING MAJOR 

2502
01:23:03,845 --> 01:23:05,947
IMPACTS. YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD 

2503
01:23:05,947 --> 01:23:07,282
FROM THE CBO AND FROM THE 

2504
01:23:07,282 --> 01:23:08,550
MAYOR'S OFFICE THAT, YOU KNOW, 

2505
01:23:08,550 --> 01:23:10,251
HARD CHOICES. THESE ARE NOT HARD

2506
01:23:10,251 --> 01:23:11,486
CHOICES. THESE ARE WRONG 

2507
01:23:11,486 --> 01:23:13,688
CHOICES. AND WE CAN SEE IT EVERY

2508
01:23:13,688 --> 01:23:15,490
DAY ON OUR STREETS, ALL OF OUR 

2509
01:23:15,490 --> 01:23:18,460
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE FEELING THE 

2510
01:23:18,460 --> 01:23:20,095
EFFECTS OF THE UNDERFUNDING, NOT

2511
01:23:20,095 --> 01:23:22,664
JUST IN DOLLARS, BUT ALSO IN 

2512
01:23:22,664 --> 01:23:23,698
ATTENTION AND EMPHASIS. AND 

2513
01:23:23,698 --> 01:23:27,569
IT'S SHOWING UP ON OUR STREETS.

2514
01:23:27,569 --> 01:23:29,537
YOU KNOW, I CALLED FOR THE MAYOR

2515
01:23:29,537 --> 01:23:30,605
TO CREATE A DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC 

2516
01:23:30,605 --> 01:23:31,373
SAFETY. I HAD HER IN MY OFFICE. 

2517
01:23:31,373 --> 01:23:32,640
I SAID, HEY, CREATE A DIRECTOR 

2518
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,276
OF HOMELESSNESS TO. AND A FEW 

2519
01:23:35,276 --> 01:23:37,245
WEEKS LATER, SHE CREATED THE. 

2520
01:23:37,245 --> 01:23:39,214
FOR UCT SHOULD BE UNDER DIRECTOR

2521
01:23:39,214 --> 01:23:40,915
JEN LABRECQUE, BUT IT'S BEEN 

2522
01:23:40,915 --> 01:23:42,183
DOWNSIZED. IT WENT FROM THE 

2523
01:23:42,183 --> 01:23:44,052
MAYOR'S OFFICE TO HSD AND NOW 

2524
01:23:44,052 --> 01:23:46,221
WE SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH 

2525
01:23:46,221 --> 01:23:49,557
NOT JUST PARKS, BUT ALSO SDOT. 

2526
01:23:49,557 --> 01:23:50,492
AT THE SAME TIME. I'M TALKING 

2527
01:23:50,492 --> 01:23:52,961
TO PEOPLE IN COMMUNITY WHO ARE 

2528
01:23:52,961 --> 01:23:54,562
SAYING, HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON 

2529
01:23:54,562 --> 01:23:56,364
HERE? THEN WE CHECK IN WITH UCT 

2530
01:23:56,364 --> 01:23:58,800
AND OTHERS AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS

2531
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,101
WORKING THESE ISSUES. OH, WE 

2532
01:24:00,101 --> 01:24:01,102
CAN'T WORK THAT ISSUE BECAUSE 

2533
01:24:01,102 --> 01:24:06,508
WE DON'T HAVE THE HEAVY 

2534
01:24:06,508 --> 01:24:07,142
EQUIPMENT OPERATORS FROM PARKS. 

2535
01:24:07,142 --> 01:24:10,111
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.

2536
01:24:10,111 --> 01:24:13,281
THIS IS THE UNFUND BUDGET HALF 

2537
01:24:13,281 --> 01:24:14,215
DECADE AGO WE HAD THE DEFUND 

2538
01:24:14,215 --> 01:24:15,250
BUDGET. TODAY WE HAVE THE 

2539
01:24:15,250 --> 01:24:16,284
UNFUNDED BUDGET. AND THIS IS 

2540
01:24:16,284 --> 01:24:17,385
WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE. THIS IS

2541
01:24:17,385 --> 01:24:20,088
LIKE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF NOT 

2542
01:24:20,088 --> 01:24:22,357
JUST FOR DOLLARS AND CENTS, BUT 

2543
01:24:22,357 --> 01:24:24,759
ALSO IN TERMS OF PRIORITY UCT 

2544
01:24:24,759 --> 01:24:27,162
SHOULD BE REPORTING TO DIRECTOR 

2545
01:24:27,162 --> 01:24:28,730
LABRECQUE. WE SHOULDN'T BE 

2546
01:24:28,730 --> 01:24:29,931
CUTTING THE POSITIONS FROM SDOT 

2547
01:24:29,931 --> 01:24:34,002
AND FROM PARKS THAT SUPPORT THE 

2548
01:24:34,002 --> 01:24:36,638
UCT. I BELIEVE IN DIRECTOR KIM, 

2549
01:24:36,638 --> 01:24:40,008
BUT IT HAS TO BE AT THE MAYOR'S

2550
01:24:40,008 --> 01:24:40,475
LEVEL BECAUSE IT'S 

2551
01:24:40,475 --> 01:24:43,044
CROSS-DEPARTMENTAL AND THIS IS 

2552
01:24:43,044 --> 01:24:45,780
WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE. HARD 

2553
01:24:45,780 --> 01:24:47,182
CHOICES, WRONG CHOICES. AND 

2554
01:24:47,182 --> 01:24:49,851
WE'RE SEEING IT AGAIN IN OUR 

2555
01:24:49,851 --> 01:24:51,619
STREETS. AND THIS HAS MAJOR 

2556
01:24:51,619 --> 01:24:52,987
IMPACTS ON OUR PUBLIC SAFETY 

2557
01:24:52,987 --> 01:24:56,658
POSTURE. AND TO THINK OTHERWISE 

2558
01:24:56,658 --> 01:24:58,159
IS WRONG. TO THINK OTHERWISE IS 

2559
01:24:58,159 --> 01:24:59,794
WRONG. WE SEE IT AGAIN AND 

2560
01:24:59,794 --> 01:25:02,597
AGAIN. AND COUNTLESS PEOPLE. THE

2561
01:25:02,597 --> 01:25:03,598
BACKSLIDING THAT WE'VE SEEN OVER

2562
01:25:03,598 --> 01:25:04,432
THE LAST FIVE MONTHS IN TERMS OF

2563
01:25:04,432 --> 01:25:06,734
OUR PUBLIC SAFETY POSTURE AS IT 

2564
01:25:06,734 --> 01:25:09,537
RELATES TO ENCAMPMENTS, BECAUSE 

2565
01:25:09,537 --> 01:25:11,272
OF THE DECISIONS OF THIS 

2566
01:25:11,272 --> 01:25:13,174
ADMINISTRATION, WHICH ARE 

2567
01:25:13,174 --> 01:25:16,344
SHOWING UP IN THE BUDGET 

2568
01:25:16,344 --> 01:25:16,978
DECISIONS. I LIKE CHAIR JUAREZ 

2569
01:25:16,978 --> 01:25:19,280
FROM PARKS AGREE AND SUPPORT, 

2570
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:20,949
AND I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE FROM 

2571
01:25:20,949 --> 01:25:22,750
A BUDGET PERSPECTIVE, THE NUTS 

2572
01:25:22,750 --> 01:25:25,386
AND BOLTS OF BUDGETING, 

2573
01:25:25,386 --> 01:25:27,122
BUDGETING, I SUPPORT DIRECTOR 

2574
01:25:27,122 --> 01:25:29,390
PANUCCI'S WORK AND THAT SHE'S 

2575
01:25:29,390 --> 01:25:32,327
DOING, BUT SHE'S ALSO CARRYING 

2576
01:25:32,327 --> 01:25:33,695
FORWARD THE UNDERFUNDING THAT 

2577
01:25:33,695 --> 01:25:37,198
MAYOR WILSON IS DOING HERE. AND 

2578
01:25:37,198 --> 01:25:38,500
THAT'S A PROBLEM. AND WE HAVE 

2579
01:25:38,500 --> 01:25:39,267
TO LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR

2580
01:25:39,267 --> 01:25:41,503
ISSUE. THIS GOES TO A MAJOR 

2581
01:25:41,503 --> 01:25:42,971
ISSUE OF THE THE MAYOR'S 

2582
01:25:42,971 --> 01:25:44,772
BUDGET. OVERALL. IT KIND OF GOES

2583
01:25:44,772 --> 01:25:46,508
LIKE WE TALK ABOUT SPD ON 

2584
01:25:46,508 --> 01:25:47,208
THURSDAY. IT'S ALL THE YOU 

2585
01:25:47,208 --> 01:25:49,210
KNOW, EVERYTHING'S FINE HERE. 

2586
01:25:49,210 --> 01:25:50,345
IT'S EVERYTHING'S GREAT WHEN 

2587
01:25:50,345 --> 01:25:51,980
THE BUDGET WAS ANNOUNCED. BUT AS

2588
01:25:51,980 --> 01:25:54,015
WE DIG INTO IT, YOU DON'T KNOW 

2589
01:25:54,015 --> 01:25:56,117
HOW MANY PEOPLE COLLEAGUES I'VE

2590
01:25:56,117 --> 01:25:57,118
SPOKEN TO WHO VOICED THAT KIND 

2591
01:25:57,118 --> 01:25:58,386
OF RAH RAH, YOU KNOW, RESPONSE 

2592
01:25:58,386 --> 01:26:03,024
TO THE BUDGET ROLLOUT, WHO ARE 

2593
01:26:03,024 --> 01:26:03,591
NOW HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS. 

2594
01:26:03,591 --> 01:26:05,894
THEY'VE BEEN HOODWINKED. THIS 

2595
01:26:05,894 --> 01:26:07,262
IS AN EXAMPLE OF THAT. 

2596
01:26:07,262 --> 01:26:08,630
HOODWINKING. AND THEN GRAFFITI 

2597
01:26:08,630 --> 01:26:09,764
ABATEMENT. SAME THING USED TO BE

2598
01:26:09,764 --> 01:26:12,033
IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. MR. 

2599
01:26:12,033 --> 01:26:16,871
JACKSON WORKING THE ISSUES. NOW 

2600
01:26:16,871 --> 01:26:17,572
IT'S BEING DOWNSIZED AND IT'S 

2601
01:26:17,572 --> 01:26:19,841
BEING AGAIN UNFUNDED. THIS IS 

2602
01:26:19,841 --> 01:26:21,676
THE UNFUNDED BUDGET WE HAD TO 

2603
01:26:21,676 --> 01:26:23,811
DEFUND BUDGET YEARS AGO. BUT 

2604
01:26:23,811 --> 01:26:25,213
TODAY WE HAVE THE UNFUNDED 

2605
01:26:25,213 --> 01:26:25,847
BUDGET, AND IT'S SHOWING UP 

2606
01:26:25,847 --> 01:26:27,715
HERE AND IT'S GOING TO HAVE 

2607
01:26:27,715 --> 01:26:29,117
MAJOR IMPACTS IN PUBLIC SAFETY. 

2608
01:26:29,117 --> 01:26:31,286
COLLEAGUES. AND I THINK IT'S 

2609
01:26:31,286 --> 01:26:32,654
IMPORTANT TO NOTE AND TO FRAME 

2610
01:26:32,654 --> 01:26:34,956
IT THAT WAY, BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK

2611
01:26:34,956 --> 01:26:36,691
AT ALL THESE OTHER PIECES, 

2612
01:26:36,691 --> 01:26:39,194
THERE'S A THREAD THAT CONNECTS 

2613
01:26:39,194 --> 01:26:40,128
THEM ALL. AND AT THE END OF THE 

2614
01:26:40,128 --> 01:26:41,963
DAY, THIS UNDERFUNDING IS GOING 

2615
01:26:41,963 --> 01:26:43,331
TO HURT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY 

2616
01:26:43,331 --> 01:26:44,732
POSTURE. IT'S GOING TO HURT OUR

2617
01:26:44,732 --> 01:26:46,935
ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION OF 

2618
01:26:46,935 --> 01:26:50,238
DOWNTOWN AND OTHER PARTS OF OUR 

2619
01:26:50,238 --> 01:26:51,239
CITY, WHICH IN TURN WILL ONLY 

2620
01:26:51,239 --> 01:26:53,007
MAKE OUR BUDGET CHALLENGES EVEN 

2621
01:26:53,007 --> 01:26:58,079
WORSE IN THE YEARS AHEAD. CHAIR,

2622
01:26:58,079 --> 01:26:58,980
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING

2623
01:26:58,980 --> 01:27:00,615
ELSE I SHOULD ADD. 

2624
01:27:00,615 --> 01:27:01,616
-- THANK YOU. ANYTHING FROM THE 

2625
01:27:01,616 --> 01:27:03,351
COMMITTEE TABLE AT THIS TIME? 

2626
01:27:03,351 --> 01:27:05,386
THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE ON TO 

2627
01:27:05,386 --> 01:27:06,921
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA AND THEN 

2628
01:27:06,921 --> 01:27:07,355
COUNCILMEMBER LIN. 

2629
01:27:07,355 --> 01:27:08,957
-- THANK YOU CHAIR. I'M NOT 

2630
01:27:08,957 --> 01:27:11,326
GOING TO DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING 

2631
01:27:11,326 --> 01:27:14,429
MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID. 

2632
01:27:14,429 --> 01:27:16,998
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, I REALLY 

2633
01:27:16,998 --> 01:27:17,632
APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP AND 

2634
01:27:17,632 --> 01:27:20,935
YOUR TIME AS AS CHAIR OF PARKS, 

2635
01:27:20,935 --> 01:27:24,772
I HAVE GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE 

2636
01:27:24,772 --> 01:27:27,976
U. C T TEAM GETTING UNFUNDED. AS

2637
01:27:27,976 --> 01:27:31,746
MY COLLEAGUE HAS SAID, AND ALSO 

2638
01:27:31,746 --> 01:27:33,147
I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THIS 

2639
01:27:33,147 --> 01:27:33,748
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT PROGRAM. I 

2640
01:27:33,748 --> 01:27:36,050
WANT TO SAY, FOR THE RECORD, THE

2641
01:27:36,050 --> 01:27:37,585
ORGANIZATION THAT RECEIVED 

2642
01:27:37,585 --> 01:27:40,255
FUNDING TO DO THE GRAFFITI 

2643
01:27:40,255 --> 01:27:42,490
ABATEMENT ON THE PRIVATE AREAS 

2644
01:27:42,490 --> 01:27:43,057
UPLIFT NORTH NORTHWEST IS A 

2645
01:27:43,057 --> 01:27:46,894
GREAT ORGANIZATION. NOT ONLY ARE

2646
01:27:46,894 --> 01:27:48,596
THEY DOING THAT, GRAFFITI 

2647
01:27:48,596 --> 01:27:49,197
ABATEMENT AND PLACES THAT WE 

2648
01:27:49,197 --> 01:27:51,399
DON'T DO, THEY'RE ACTUALLY 

2649
01:27:51,399 --> 01:27:53,134
PROVIDING JOBS TO PEOPLE. AND 

2650
01:27:53,134 --> 01:27:55,136
SECOND, OPPORTUNITIES TO PEOPLE.

2651
01:27:55,136 --> 01:27:59,340
IT IS A REALLY GREAT PROGRAM AND

2652
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:02,010
IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE MAYOR

2653
01:28:02,010 --> 01:28:03,778
HAS NOT. AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT 

2654
01:28:03,778 --> 01:28:06,848
ONE TIME MEANS THERE AS 

2655
01:28:06,848 --> 01:28:08,116
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ HAS SAID IN

2656
01:28:08,116 --> 01:28:09,117
THE PAST, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF 

2657
01:28:09,117 --> 01:28:10,985
ONE TIME PROGRAMS THAT HAVE 

2658
01:28:10,985 --> 01:28:13,421
TURNED INTO ONGOING FUNDING, AND

2659
01:28:13,421 --> 01:28:16,924
I KNOW THAT THE MAYOR TOOK SOME 

2660
01:28:16,924 --> 01:28:18,626
OF THOSE ONE TIME ADS AND TURNED

2661
01:28:18,626 --> 01:28:19,761
THEM INTO ONGOING, EXCEPT NOT 

2662
01:28:19,761 --> 01:28:21,729
THIS ONE. AND THIS IS REALLY 

2663
01:28:21,729 --> 01:28:23,197
IMPORTANT. WE HEAR FROM 

2664
01:28:23,197 --> 01:28:25,400
CONSTITUENTS, I HEAR FROM 

2665
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,568
CONSTITUENTS ALL THE TIME ABOUT 

2666
01:28:27,568 --> 01:28:30,138
THE NEED TO ABATE THE GRAFFITI 

2667
01:28:30,138 --> 01:28:31,673
IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. AND, AND 

2668
01:28:31,673 --> 01:28:33,274
TO ME, THIS IS A NO BRAINER 

2669
01:28:33,274 --> 01:28:34,942
BECAUSE YOU BOTH GET THE WORK 

2670
01:28:34,942 --> 01:28:36,711
DONE AND IT'S BEING DONE BY 

2671
01:28:36,711 --> 01:28:38,946
FOLKS WHO HAVE A SECOND 

2672
01:28:38,946 --> 01:28:39,947
OPPORTUNITY AT LIFE AND ARE 

2673
01:28:39,947 --> 01:28:43,418
TRAINED FOR A JOB. AND THIS IS A

2674
01:28:43,418 --> 01:28:46,154
REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR 

2675
01:28:46,154 --> 01:28:47,522
FOLKS THAT WE WANT TO HELP IN 

2676
01:28:47,522 --> 01:28:49,090
COMMUNITY. SO TO ME, IT'S A 

2677
01:28:49,090 --> 01:28:51,559
WIN-WIN. AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE 

2678
01:28:51,559 --> 01:28:55,296
THAT THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO 

2679
01:28:55,296 --> 01:28:56,597
THE ONGOING BUCKET FOR FOR ALL 

2680
01:28:56,597 --> 01:28:58,299
THE REASONS I HAVE SAID, I ALSO 

2681
01:28:58,299 --> 01:29:00,301
FEEL COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, I'M 

2682
01:29:00,301 --> 01:29:02,236
GOING TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER 

2683
01:29:02,236 --> 01:29:03,638
AND SAY, THIS MAYOR DOES NOT 

2684
01:29:03,638 --> 01:29:05,773
HAVE A PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN. WE 

2685
01:29:05,773 --> 01:29:08,276
HAVE NOT SEEN WHAT THE PLAN IS. 

2686
01:29:08,276 --> 01:29:10,578
THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE 

2687
01:29:10,578 --> 01:29:13,715
SHOOTINGS THIS WEEKEND. STILL NO

2688
01:29:13,715 --> 01:29:17,318
PLAN. SO THIS BUDGET, I AGREE 

2689
01:29:17,318 --> 01:29:19,587
WITH YOU. WHAT THIS BUDGET DOES 

2690
01:29:19,587 --> 01:29:21,422
IS TAKE OUT PUBLIC SAFETY 

2691
01:29:21,422 --> 01:29:23,224
ELEMENTS THAT THIS COUNCIL 

2692
01:29:23,224 --> 01:29:25,259
WORKED REALLY HARD TO INCLUDE 

2693
01:29:25,259 --> 01:29:27,261
IN. ON BEHALF OF OUR 

2694
01:29:27,261 --> 01:29:29,464
CONSTITUENTS, TO ADDRESS SAFETY 

2695
01:29:29,464 --> 01:29:31,766
CONCERNS ACROSS THE CITY AND 

2696
01:29:31,766 --> 01:29:33,434
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, THANK YOU 

2697
01:29:33,434 --> 01:29:35,536
FOR GIVING ALWAYS THE HISTORY 

2698
01:29:35,536 --> 01:29:36,904
ON, YOU KNOW, IN THIS CASE, YOU 

2699
01:29:36,904 --> 01:29:41,509
SEE T BECAUSE THE UNIFIED CARE 

2700
01:29:41,509 --> 01:29:43,845
TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED TO TAKE 

2701
01:29:43,845 --> 01:29:45,947
CARE AND TO HELP ADDRESS THE 

2702
01:29:45,947 --> 01:29:48,583
ENCAMPMENTS THAT WE'RE SEEING 

2703
01:29:48,583 --> 01:29:50,618
ACROSS THE CITY. AND PROVIDE 

2704
01:29:50,618 --> 01:29:53,454
THAT PUBLIC SAFETY PIECE TO OUR 

2705
01:29:53,454 --> 01:29:55,123
CONSTITUENTS. AND IT IS CLEAR 

2706
01:29:55,123 --> 01:29:57,925
THAT, YOU SEE, T IS NOT A 

2707
01:29:57,925 --> 01:29:59,794
PRIORITY FOR THIS MAYOR AND THIS

2708
01:29:59,794 --> 01:30:01,496
ADMINISTRATION. AND THAT IS VERY

2709
01:30:01,496 --> 01:30:03,097
UPSETTING, AND IT IS UPSETTING 

2710
01:30:03,097 --> 01:30:05,399
TO OUR CONSTITUENTS BECAUSE 

2711
01:30:05,399 --> 01:30:07,969
WE'RE THE ONES THAT GET THE 

2712
01:30:07,969 --> 01:30:10,938
CALLS WHEN CONSTITUENTS NEED. 

2713
01:30:10,938 --> 01:30:13,307
YOU SEE T IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS, 

2714
01:30:13,307 --> 01:30:15,476
WE'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE TO 

2715
01:30:15,476 --> 01:30:16,043
MANAGE FOR THOSE CALLS, AND 

2716
01:30:16,043 --> 01:30:19,180
WE'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE TO 

2717
01:30:19,180 --> 01:30:20,848
REACH OUT AND REQUEST AND 

2718
01:30:20,848 --> 01:30:21,482
CONTINUE TO REQUEST AND CONTINUE

2719
01:30:21,482 --> 01:30:24,185
TO REQUEST ADDRESSING OF THE 

2720
01:30:24,185 --> 01:30:25,653
ENCAMPMENTS IN ALL OUR 

2721
01:30:25,653 --> 01:30:26,687
NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THIS IS ALL 

2722
01:30:26,687 --> 01:30:28,990
ACROSS THE CITY. THERE ISN'T ONE

2723
01:30:28,990 --> 01:30:31,592
DISTRICT OR ONE NEIGHBORHOOD 

2724
01:30:31,592 --> 01:30:33,928
THAT HASN'T BEEN IMPACTED. AND 

2725
01:30:33,928 --> 01:30:35,930
AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, THE UC T 

2726
01:30:35,930 --> 01:30:38,466
TEAM ARE COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE 

2727
01:30:38,466 --> 01:30:42,003
WHO WORK REALLY HARD TO ENSURE 

2728
01:30:42,003 --> 01:30:44,605
THAT FOLKS ARE BEING OFFERED 

2729
01:30:44,605 --> 01:30:48,543
SERVICES BEFORE THEY RESOLVE 

2730
01:30:48,543 --> 01:30:49,177
ENCAMPMENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS

2731
01:30:49,177 --> 01:30:51,379
THEY CONNECT PEOPLE WITH 

2732
01:30:51,379 --> 01:30:53,915
SERVICES. THEY GO MULTIPLE TIMES

2733
01:30:53,915 --> 01:30:58,386
TO AN ENCAMPMENT SITE TO DO THAT

2734
01:30:58,386 --> 01:31:03,758
WORK. SO TO ME, THIS IS ALMOST A

2735
01:31:03,758 --> 01:31:06,194
SILENT UNDERFUNDING OF AND 

2736
01:31:06,194 --> 01:31:07,762
DEPRIORITIZING REALLY OF PUBLIC 

2737
01:31:07,762 --> 01:31:09,463
SAFETY IN OUR CITY. AND WE 

2738
01:31:09,463 --> 01:31:14,602
CANNOT GO BACKWARDS. AND THAT'S

2739
01:31:14,602 --> 01:31:17,038
WHERE WE'RE AT. AND IT IS THE 

2740
01:31:17,038 --> 01:31:19,574
MAYOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO 

2741
01:31:19,574 --> 01:31:20,141
ADDRESS AND OPERATIONALIZE 

2742
01:31:20,141 --> 01:31:23,311
PUBLIC SAFETY IN OUR CITY. SO WE

2743
01:31:23,311 --> 01:31:24,378
WILL TALK MORE. AND I LOOK 

2744
01:31:24,378 --> 01:31:26,047
FORWARD TO. COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ

2745
01:31:26,047 --> 01:31:29,550
A ROBUST CONVERSATION ON FRIDAY 

2746
01:31:29,550 --> 01:31:34,388
BECAUSE THIS BUDGET IS NOT 

2747
01:31:34,388 --> 01:31:35,923
WORKING FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS AND

2748
01:31:35,923 --> 01:31:38,726
IT IS NOT WORKING FOR MY 

2749
01:31:38,726 --> 01:31:40,728
DISTRICT, AND IT IS JUST SIMPLY 

2750
01:31:40,728 --> 01:31:43,164
NOT OKAY. NOW. IT IS COUNCIL'S 

2751
01:31:43,164 --> 01:31:44,966
RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE TO FIGURE

2752
01:31:44,966 --> 01:31:50,037
OUT HOW TO FUND FIRE, FIRE, 

2753
01:31:50,037 --> 01:31:57,511
OVERTIME. AGAIN, A CHARTERED 

2754
01:31:57,511 --> 01:31:58,112
RESPONSIBILITY. THESE ARE NOT 

2755
01:31:58,112 --> 01:31:59,347
OPTIONAL. UC T, THOUGH NOT 

2756
01:31:59,347 --> 01:32:01,616
CHARTERED, IS AN IMPORTANT 

2757
01:32:01,616 --> 01:32:03,651
RESPONSIBILITY. WE DO NOT. WE 

2758
01:32:03,651 --> 01:32:07,455
HAVE TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES IN 

2759
01:32:07,455 --> 01:32:10,458
OUR DISTRICT. I'M SORRY. IN OUR

2760
01:32:10,458 --> 01:32:12,693
CITY AND THIS BUDGET HAS 

2761
01:32:12,693 --> 01:32:14,762
RENDERED US INCAPABLE OF DOING 

2762
01:32:14,762 --> 01:32:17,565
THAT. SO NOW IT'S COUNCIL'S 

2763
01:32:17,565 --> 01:32:18,199
RESPONSIBILITY TO GO BACK AND 

2764
01:32:18,199 --> 01:32:19,600
SEE HOW WE CAN RECONFIGURE THE 

2765
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:21,736
BUDGET. SO WE ADDRESS PUBLIC 

2766
01:32:21,736 --> 01:32:24,672
SAFETY IN THIS BUDGET IN THE WAY

2767
01:32:24,672 --> 01:32:28,075
THAT IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED SO 

2768
01:32:28,075 --> 01:32:30,511
AGAIN, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE 

2769
01:32:30,511 --> 01:32:31,812
CONVERSATION ON FRIDAY. IN TERMS

2770
01:32:31,812 --> 01:32:33,281
OF THE PARKS BUDGET, THIS UC T 

2771
01:32:33,281 --> 01:32:35,449
PIECE IS OF HUGE CONCERN, AS YOU

2772
01:32:35,449 --> 01:32:37,885
CAN HEAR. AND THEN ALSO THIS 

2773
01:32:37,885 --> 01:32:39,921
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT PIECE IS 

2774
01:32:39,921 --> 01:32:42,089
REALLY IMPORTANT AS WELL. THESE 

2775
01:32:42,089 --> 01:32:45,493
ARE NO BRAINERS. I IT IS HARD 

2776
01:32:45,493 --> 01:32:47,228
FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE 

2777
01:32:47,228 --> 01:32:49,597
THOUGHT PROCESS WAS BEHIND THE 

2778
01:32:49,597 --> 01:32:55,736
CUTS TO UC T AND EVEN GRAFFITI 

2779
01:32:55,736 --> 01:32:57,872
ABATEMENT. SO I DON'T HAVE ANY 

2780
01:32:57,872 --> 01:33:00,074
QUESTIONS FOR YOU KARINA, BUT I 

2781
01:33:00,074 --> 01:33:02,143
DID WANT TO MAKE SOME STATEMENTS

2782
01:33:02,143 --> 01:33:04,679
ABOUT PARKS BUDGET IN 

2783
01:33:04,679 --> 01:33:06,247
PARTICULAR, AND THEN I ALSO HAVE

2784
01:33:06,247 --> 01:33:08,349
PUT IN THE TRACKER A QUESTION 

2785
01:33:08,349 --> 01:33:12,653
ABOUT THE TEN BATHROOMS. THAT'S

2786
01:33:12,653 --> 01:33:14,288
FAS, BUT THERE'S TWO IN PARKS, 

2787
01:33:14,288 --> 01:33:16,624
THE ONE AT CHAIR LIN CHOW WHERE 

2788
01:33:16,624 --> 01:33:18,893
THE NORTH END ONE IS GOING. I 

2789
01:33:18,893 --> 01:33:21,562
HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. AND 

2790
01:33:21,562 --> 01:33:22,930
THEN THE OTHER TEN RESTROOMS, 

2791
01:33:22,930 --> 01:33:25,266
BECAUSE THERE IS A NEED FOR 

2792
01:33:25,266 --> 01:33:25,733
RESTROOMS ACROSS OUR 

2793
01:33:25,733 --> 01:33:29,503
NEIGHBORHOODS SO WE CAN TALK 

2794
01:33:29,503 --> 01:33:31,072
ABOUT THAT OFFLINE. THANK YOU 

2795
01:33:31,072 --> 01:33:31,305
CHAIR. 

2796
01:33:31,305 --> 01:33:32,273
-- THANK YOU. ANYTHING FROM THE 

2797
01:33:32,273 --> 01:33:34,108
COMMITTEE TABLE AT THIS TIME? 

2798
01:33:34,108 --> 01:33:37,144
-- YEAH, I WILL JUST I WILL JUST

2799
01:33:37,144 --> 01:33:38,679
LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT PARKS HAS

2800
01:33:38,679 --> 01:33:40,114
NOT COMMITTED TO THE LOCATION 

2801
01:33:40,114 --> 01:33:41,983
FOR THE NORTHEAST SEATTLE 

2802
01:33:41,983 --> 01:33:43,050
BATHROOM THAT IS FUNDED IN THIS 

2803
01:33:43,050 --> 01:33:46,120
BUDGET. IT WOULD BE A 

2804
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:47,888
PRE-FABRICATED BATHROOM. THE 

2805
01:33:47,888 --> 01:33:48,990
PORTLAND LOO HAS BEEN FLOATED AS

2806
01:33:48,990 --> 01:33:50,024
AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS BATHROOM

2807
01:33:50,024 --> 01:33:52,393
WOULD BE. IT'S SELF-CONTAINED. 

2808
01:33:52,393 --> 01:33:54,628
IT'S INTENDED TO DETER 

2809
01:33:54,628 --> 01:33:55,262
VANDALISM. ONE OF THEM, AS 

2810
01:33:55,262 --> 01:33:57,331
YOU'VE NOTED, COUNCILMEMBER 

2811
01:33:57,331 --> 01:34:00,134
RIVERA IS FOR CHERYL CHERYL CHOW

01:34:00,134 --> 01:34:02,269
PARK, THE ONE IN NORTHEAST 

2813
01:34:02,269 --> 01:34:04,905
SEATTLE. IT WILL BE IN 4 OR 5 

2814
01:34:04,905 --> 01:34:06,707
DISTRICTS, AND IT'S BEEN 

2815
01:34:06,707 --> 01:34:07,274
INFORMED THROUGH COMMUNITY 

2816
01:34:07,274 --> 01:34:09,910
ENGAGEMENT. BUT RIGHT NOW, AS PR

2817
01:34:09,910 --> 01:34:12,113
HAS NOT IDENTIFIED A LOCATION 

2818
01:34:12,113 --> 01:34:13,581
FOR IT, IT WILL HAPPEN. BUT THEY

2819
01:34:13,581 --> 01:34:13,914
DON'T KNOW. 

2820
01:34:13,914 --> 01:34:14,815
-- WE DON'T KNOW. 

2821
01:34:14,815 --> 01:34:15,516
-- YEAH. 

2822
01:34:15,516 --> 01:34:17,018
-- OKAY. WELL, WE CAN ALSO 

2823
01:34:17,018 --> 01:34:19,086
FOLLOW UP WITH PARKS THEN. THANK

2824
01:34:19,086 --> 01:34:21,355
YOU. THANK YOU. KARINA AND 

2825
01:34:21,355 --> 01:34:23,391
CHAIR, IF I MAY, ONE OTHER THING

2826
01:34:23,391 --> 01:34:24,892
ABOUT UCT THAT WE DISCOVERED AS 

2827
01:34:24,892 --> 01:34:26,727
WE WERE TRYING TO SEND 

2828
01:34:26,727 --> 01:34:28,996
INFORMATION TO OUR CONSTITUENTS,

2829
01:34:28,996 --> 01:34:30,731
IT APPEARS THE PAGE HAS BEEN 

2830
01:34:30,731 --> 01:34:32,500
REMOVED. I CANNOT FIND THE U. C 

2831
01:34:32,500 --> 01:34:35,703

01:34:35,703 --> 01:34:37,304
SEATTLE SITE, BUT THERE USED TO 

2833
01:34:37,304 --> 01:34:41,042
BE ONE. 

2834
01:34:41,042 --> 01:34:41,909
-- I FOLLOW UP ON THAT. 

2835
01:34:41,909 --> 01:34:43,344
-- THAT TO ME AGAIN, IF IF IF IT

2836
01:34:43,344 --> 01:34:45,079
IS TRUE THAT IT IS GONE, I 

2837
01:34:45,079 --> 01:34:48,049
CANNOT FIND IT, THEN THAT JUST 

2838
01:34:48,049 --> 01:34:49,483
GOES TO THE DEPRIORITIZATION 

2839
01:34:49,483 --> 01:34:52,053
THAT THIS MAYOR HAS GIVEN TO 

2840
01:34:52,053 --> 01:34:54,055

YOU. YOUR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND 

2859
01:35:37,231 --> 01:35:38,799
EXPERTISE IS VERY INSIGHTFUL AND

2860
01:35:38,799 --> 01:35:40,501
I THINK WILL BE INSTRUCTIVE ON A

2861
01:35:40,501 --> 01:35:42,636
GOING FORWARD BASIS AS WELL. 

2862
01:35:42,636 --> 01:35:44,705
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS FROM 

2863
01:35:44,705 --> 01:35:49,910

2864
01:35:49,910 --> 01:35:53,481
START OFF BY SAYING I APPRECIATE

2865
01:35:53,481 --> 01:35:55,916
THE THE MAYOR'S ATTEMPT HERE TO

2866
01:35:55,916 --> 01:35:57,118
PROPOSE A BALANCED BUDGET THAT 

2867
01:35:57,118 --> 01:35:59,520
MEETS AS MUCH OF THE COMMUNITY 

2868
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:02,656
NEED AS POSSIBLE, AND DEFINITELY

2869
01:36:02,656 --> 01:36:06,026
UNENVIABLE POSITION. TAKING THAT

2870
01:36:06,026 --> 01:36:06,861
FIRST CUT OF THE BUDGET. AND 

2871
01:36:06,861 --> 01:36:07,928
THERE ARE SOME GOOD THINGS TO 

2872
01:36:07,928 --> 01:36:09,530
CELEBRATE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE

2873
01:36:09,530 --> 01:36:12,533
PARKS BUDGET. SOME SOME REALLY 

2874
01:36:12,533 --> 01:36:15,002
GOOD THINGS AND AND THEN 

2875
01:36:15,002 --> 01:36:18,439
THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT RAISE 

2876
01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:22,943
MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS AND 

2877
01:36:22,943 --> 01:36:26,881
SOME THINGS THAT LEAVE MORE TO 

2878
01:36:26,881 --> 01:36:27,815
BE DESIRED. BATHROOMS, FOR 

2879
01:36:27,815 --> 01:36:29,350
EXAMPLE, THERE'S, THERE'S A 

2880
01:36:29,350 --> 01:36:30,918
LOT OF MONEY FOR NEW BATHROOMS. 

2881
01:36:30,918 --> 01:36:33,521
AND WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH 

2882
01:36:33,521 --> 01:36:37,558
MAINTAINING OUR CURRENT BATHROOM

2883
01:36:37,558 --> 01:36:39,160
INVENTORY. WE'RE A YEAR PLUS 

2884
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:41,195
AWAY FROM AN AUDIT, A SCATHING 

2885
01:36:41,195 --> 01:36:44,798
AUDIT THAT REVEALED WE CAN'T 

2886
01:36:44,798 --> 01:36:46,467
EVEN GET OUR OWN HOUSE IN ORDER,

2887
01:36:46,467 --> 01:36:51,038
QUITE LITERALLY BATH HOUSE IN 

2888
01:36:51,038 --> 01:36:57,478
ORDER, RESTROOMS ACROSS THE CITY

2889
01:36:57,478 --> 01:36:59,513
HABITUALLY. SUFFERING FROM 

2890
01:36:59,513 --> 01:37:01,248
GRAFFITI PROBLEM. GRAFFITI 

2891
01:37:01,248 --> 01:37:05,586
VANDALISM COSTING HUNDREDS AND 

2892
01:37:05,586 --> 01:37:08,722
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF MAN 

2893
01:37:08,722 --> 01:37:11,192
HOURS. MEANWHILE, OUR ABILITY TO

2894
01:37:11,192 --> 01:37:12,660
MAKE APPROPRIATE CAPITAL 

2895
01:37:12,660 --> 01:37:17,965
UPGRADES TO THE EXISTING 

2896
01:37:17,965 --> 01:37:19,667
FACILITIES HARDEN THEM. WE 

2897
01:37:19,667 --> 01:37:20,734
CAN'T EVEN RESOLVE. WE CAN'T 

2898
01:37:20,734 --> 01:37:22,970
EVEN SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF 

2899
01:37:22,970 --> 01:37:23,504
MAINTAINING PROPERLY OUR 

2900
01:37:23,504 --> 01:37:25,272
EXISTING RESTROOM INVENTORY 

2901
01:37:25,272 --> 01:37:27,141
FLEET. AND HOW HOW MANY NEW 

2902
01:37:27,141 --> 01:37:28,676
BATHROOMS THERE ARE PROPOSED OR 

2903
01:37:28,676 --> 01:37:32,947
EXPANSION UNDER THIS. AND YES, 

2904
01:37:32,947 --> 01:37:34,481
MY COUNCIL DISTRICT IS THE WORST

2905
01:37:34,481 --> 01:37:38,319
OFF. IT'S NO SECRET IN TERMS OF

2906
01:37:38,319 --> 01:37:40,921
INABILITY TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN 

2907
01:37:40,921 --> 01:37:42,990
BECAUSE OF PROBLEM GRAFFITI AND 

2908
01:37:42,990 --> 01:37:47,328
VANDALISM. OUR EXISTING RESTROOM

2909
01:37:47,328 --> 01:37:48,762
FLEET. AND NOW WE WANT TO 

2910
01:37:48,762 --> 01:37:50,064
EXPAND, CREATE NEW SHINY THINGS 

2911
01:37:50,064 --> 01:37:53,167
AND WE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF LOOK 

2912
01:37:53,167 --> 01:37:55,936
AFTER THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE 

2913
01:37:55,936 --> 01:37:59,340
PROPERLY TODAY. OKAY, WELL, THEN

2914
01:37:59,340 --> 01:38:02,877
THERE'S THE, THE 

2915
01:38:02,877 --> 01:38:06,447
WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE OF UCT, 

2916
01:38:06,447 --> 01:38:07,047
WHICH APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS 

2917
01:38:07,047 --> 01:38:10,017
FROM ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES ON 

2918
01:38:10,017 --> 01:38:11,318
THIS, PLUS ONE TO THE EMPHASIS 

2919
01:38:11,318 --> 01:38:14,555
OF THOSE OR THE THE ESSENCE 

2920
01:38:14,555 --> 01:38:17,558
RATHER OF THOSE THOSE COMMENTS 

2921
01:38:17,558 --> 01:38:18,859
I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS 

2922
01:38:18,859 --> 01:38:22,730
THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE BUDGET THE

2923
01:38:22,730 --> 01:38:24,899
UC BUDGET REPORTING STRUCTURE, 

2924
01:38:24,899 --> 01:38:27,735
ALL OF THE ABOVE REFLECT A 

2925
01:38:27,735 --> 01:38:29,403
COLLECTIVE DEPRIORITIZATION OF 

2926
01:38:29,403 --> 01:38:31,739
THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM. HAVING A 

2927
01:38:31,739 --> 01:38:32,973
SINGLE THREADED OWNER IS GREAT. 

2928
01:38:32,973 --> 01:38:34,441
HAVING IT WITHIN ONE DEPARTMENT.

2929
01:38:34,441 --> 01:38:37,378
NOT GOOD. COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE A

2930
01:38:37,378 --> 01:38:39,747
MOMENT AGO, TALKING ABOUT NO 

2931
01:38:39,747 --> 01:38:40,714
LIKE PEOPLE ARE GETTING STUCK 

2932
01:38:40,714 --> 01:38:42,816
BECAUSE WHOA, NO HEAVY EQUIPMENT

2933
01:38:42,816 --> 01:38:45,119
FROM PARKS LIKE THAT IS WHY YOU 

2934
01:38:45,119 --> 01:38:47,688
NEED AN EXECUTIVE OWNER IN THE 

2935
01:38:47,688 --> 01:38:48,989
MAYOR'S OFFICE TO COORDINATE 

2936
01:38:48,989 --> 01:38:51,558
AND AVOID THIS. WHO'S ON FIRST 

2937
01:38:51,558 --> 01:38:52,693
SITUATION? AND OH YEAH, WELL, WE

2938
01:38:52,693 --> 01:38:54,862
CAN'T DO IT. MIDDLE NOT 

2939
01:38:54,862 --> 01:39:00,000
EMPOWERED. YOU NEED FIRM, CLEAR 

2940
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:01,869
DECISION MAKING AT THE MAYOR'S 

2941
01:39:01,869 --> 01:39:02,970
OFFICE LEVEL OVERSEEING. AND NOW

2942
01:39:02,970 --> 01:39:05,239
THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD THING TO TO

2943
01:39:05,239 --> 01:39:07,808
DEPRIORITIZE IT AND BURY THAT 

2944
01:39:07,808 --> 01:39:08,776
WORK DOWN IN A DEPARTMENT 

2945
01:39:08,776 --> 01:39:09,910
SOMEWHERE. AND IT MIGHT BE A 

2946
01:39:09,910 --> 01:39:12,479
GOOD BONE POLITICAL BONE TO 

2947
01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:16,450
THROW TO YOUR DEMOCRATIC 

2948
01:39:16,450 --> 01:39:19,920
SOCIALIST BASE. BUT IT BUT IT 

2949
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:24,325
DOES OUR COMMUNITIES HARM IN 

2950
01:39:24,325 --> 01:39:26,727
TERMS OF CHANGING AND IMPROVING 

2951
01:39:26,727 --> 01:39:28,162
OUTCOMES. IT DOES OUR 

2952
01:39:28,162 --> 01:39:30,164
COMMUNITIES HARM IN TERMS OF 

2953
01:39:30,164 --> 01:39:30,731
IMPROVING THE PUBLIC SAFETY 

2954
01:39:30,731 --> 01:39:31,365
SITUATION IN NEIGHBORHOODS. IT 

2955
01:39:31,365 --> 01:39:33,400
DOES OUR COMMUNITIES HARM. AND 

2956
01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:35,736
BY THE WAY, OUR COMMUNITIES, 

2957
01:39:35,736 --> 01:39:39,239
INCLUDING PEOPLE EXPERIENCING 

2958
01:39:39,239 --> 01:39:42,609
HOMELESSNESS IN. IN THESE 

2959
01:39:42,609 --> 01:39:46,347
ENCAMPMENTS, IT'S NOT GOOD FOR 

2960
01:39:46,347 --> 01:39:47,514
ANYBODY. AGAIN, I'VE BEEN 

2961
01:39:47,514 --> 01:39:50,884
SAYING THIS THE WHOLE TIME 

2962
01:39:50,884 --> 01:39:52,720
THROUGHOUT THESE LIKE THE 

2963
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:54,421
FUNDING LEVELS AND THE AND THE 

2964
01:39:54,421 --> 01:39:56,657
BEARING IN THIS IN A DEPARTMENT 

2965
01:39:56,657 --> 01:40:00,694
SOMEWHERE. AND IT MIGHT BE. 

2966
01:40:00,694 --> 01:40:03,230
POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT IN CERTAIN

2967
01:40:03,230 --> 01:40:05,366
CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT IT IS HIGHLY 

2968
01:40:05,366 --> 01:40:11,372
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO TERMS OF 

2969
01:40:11,372 --> 01:40:14,375
MAKING A. A BENEFICIAL IMPACT ON

2970
01:40:14,375 --> 01:40:16,243
PEOPLE'S LIVES AND HOW THEY 

2971
01:40:16,243 --> 01:40:18,312
EXPERIENCE PUBLIC SAFETY IN OUR 

2972
01:40:18,312 --> 01:40:21,882
CITY. AND AS A COUNCILMEMBER WHO

2973
01:40:21,882 --> 01:40:25,686
REPRESENTS THE DISTRICT 2 TO 3 X

2974
01:40:25,686 --> 01:40:27,588
HIGHER RV LIVED IN VEHICLE 

2975
01:40:27,588 --> 01:40:28,555
ENCAMPMENTS THAN THE NEXT 

2976
01:40:28,555 --> 01:40:29,990
CLOSEST COUNCIL DISTRICT, AND 

2977
01:40:29,990 --> 01:40:31,325
WE'RE SORT OF SANDWICHED IN THE

2978
01:40:31,325 --> 01:40:34,094
MIDDLE OF NON RV ENCAMPMENTS AS 

2979
01:40:34,094 --> 01:40:40,601
WELL. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE. I DID 

2980
01:40:40,601 --> 01:40:42,302
A FAIRLY CONTROVERSIAL THING, I 

2981
01:40:42,302 --> 01:40:43,871
SUPPOSE IN SOME CIRCLES, SOME 

2982
01:40:43,871 --> 01:40:45,906
POLITICAL CIRCLES LAST YEAR WHEN

2983
01:40:45,906 --> 01:40:48,909
I LED AND WAS THE PRIME SPONSOR 

2984
01:40:48,909 --> 01:40:50,677
OF A PROVISO TO ENSURE THAT IN A

2985
01:40:50,677 --> 01:40:54,948
PERIOD OF POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY.

2986
01:40:54,948 --> 01:40:58,619
TO ENSURE THAT UCT'S BUDGET 

2987
01:40:58,619 --> 01:41:00,320
COULD ONLY BE USED FOR UC 

2988
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:01,588
PURPOSES, AND SOME PEOPLE ON THE

2989
01:41:01,588 --> 01:41:03,791
FAR ULTRA LEFT LOST THEIR 

2990
01:41:03,791 --> 01:41:08,729
NATURAL MINDS CALLS TO EMPLOYEE 

2991
01:41:08,729 --> 01:41:10,197
WELLNESS PROGRAMS SKYROCKETED, 

2992
01:41:10,197 --> 01:41:12,266
APPARENTLY AFTER, IN SOME 

2993
01:41:12,266 --> 01:41:14,334
CIRCLES, AFTER I DID THAT. BUT 

2994
01:41:14,334 --> 01:41:15,936
IT WAS A WISE AND RESPONSIBLE 

2995
01:41:15,936 --> 01:41:19,640
THING TO DO WHEN WE HEARD PEOPLE

2996
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:23,444
SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY 

2997
01:41:23,444 --> 01:41:26,146
SUPPORT REMOVING ENCAMPMENTS IN 

2998
01:41:26,146 --> 01:41:27,714
PARKS, ENCAMPMENT IN THE PARK 

2999
01:41:27,714 --> 01:41:29,116
WHERE KIDS AND AND FAMILIES 

3000
01:41:29,116 --> 01:41:31,218
PLAY, IT'S A NO BRAINER FOR ME.

3001
01:41:31,218 --> 01:41:37,991
I DON'T THINK TWICE. IN ANY 

3002
01:41:37,991 --> 01:41:40,494
EVENT, APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS 

3003
01:41:40,494 --> 01:41:45,032
FROM MY COLLEAGUES. I'M 

3004
01:41:45,032 --> 01:41:47,468
FLATTERED, ACTUALLY, BY SOME. 

3005
01:41:47,468 --> 01:41:50,604
AND GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE. 

3006
01:41:50,604 --> 01:41:53,674
FLUMMOXED FLABBERGASTED, 

3007
01:41:53,674 --> 01:41:58,045

3013
01:42:04,051 --> 01:42:04,685
INFORMATION ABOUT THE INVESTMENT

3014

IN RESTROOMS THAT IT'S REFLECTED

3015
01:42:06,053 --> 01:42:08,455
IN THIS PROPOSED BUDGET, AS I 

3016
01:42:08,455 --> 01:42:10,491
ALREADY DETAILED, THERE IS THE 

3017
01:42:10,491 --> 01:42:12,025

COMPLETED, THE PARTICIPATORY

01:43:02,509 --> 01:43:06,313

3047
01:43:19,993 --> 01:43:23,497
THE OFFICE OF CITY AUDITOR HAD 

3048
01:43:23,497 --> 01:43:25,432
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS

3049
01:43:25,432 --> 01:43:29,636

3060
01:43:42,783 --> 01:43:45,519

3061
01:43:45,519 --> 01:43:47,888
-- YOU. REGARDING UC T, DO YOU 

3062
01:43:47,888 --> 01:43:49,590
KNOW THE TOTAL BUDGET THIS YEAR 

3063
01:43:49,590 --> 01:43:52,192
FOR UC T. 

3064
01:43:52,192 --> 01:43:54,194
-- ACROSS FOR HSD. 

3065
01:43:54,194 --> 01:43:55,062
-- ACROSS ALL THE DEPARTMENTS? 

3066
01:43:55,062 --> 01:43:56,363
-- I DO NOT HAVE THAT 

3067
01:43:56,363 --> 01:43:56,964
INFORMATION AT MY FINGERTIPS, 

3068
01:43:56,964 --> 01:43:58,999
BUT I CAN GET IT OVER TO YOU. I 

3069
01:43:58,999 --> 01:44:00,901
BELIEVE IT IS IN THE HUMAN 

3070
01:44:00,901 --> 01:44:04,471
SERVICES DEPARTMENT POLICY 

3071
01:44:04,471 --> 01:44:05,806
CONSIDERATION AND BUDGET 

3072
01:44:05,806 --> 01:44:07,507
OVERVIEW PAPER. 

3073
01:44:07,507 --> 01:44:08,475
-- OKAY. AND PART OF THE REASON 

3074
01:44:08,475 --> 01:44:10,344
I ASK IS I THINK REPORTING LAST 

3075
01:44:10,344 --> 01:44:12,846
YEAR WAS ABOUT 30 MILLION ACROSS

3076
01:44:12,846 --> 01:44:15,048
ALL THE DEPARTMENTS. AND AND 

3077
01:44:15,048 --> 01:44:16,550
THERE WAS A PROVISO THAT IT 

3078
01:44:16,550 --> 01:44:18,852
COULD ONLY BE SPENT ON UC T 

3079
01:44:18,852 --> 01:44:19,720
RELATED OPERATIONS, AND IT 

3080
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:21,054
COULDN'T BE SPENT ON ANYTHING 

3081
01:44:21,054 --> 01:44:22,256
ELSE. AND, AND I REMEMBER THERE 

3082
01:44:22,256 --> 01:44:23,590
WAS A BIG QUESTION TO THE 

3083
01:44:23,590 --> 01:44:24,257
MAYOR'S OFFICE, TO THE MAYOR OF

3084
01:44:24,257 --> 01:44:25,993
LIKE, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS

3085
01:44:25,993 --> 01:44:27,194
PROVISO? AND I BELIEVE THE MAYOR

3086
01:44:27,194 --> 01:44:29,062
SAID SHE WOULD WORK WITH THIS 

3087
01:44:29,062 --> 01:44:31,531
PROVISO. AND I GUESS MY 

3088
01:44:31,531 --> 01:44:32,966
QUESTION, YOU KNOW, WE'RE 

3089
01:44:32,966 --> 01:44:35,269
CURRENT OPERATIONS. AND, YOU 

3090
01:44:35,269 --> 01:44:38,372
KNOW, I HEAR FROM COMMUNITY 

3091
01:44:38,372 --> 01:44:39,473
MEMBERS WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT,

3092
01:44:39,473 --> 01:44:44,878
YOU KNOW, IMPACTS OF UNSHELTERED

3093
01:44:44,878 --> 01:44:46,980
FOLKS IN NEIGHBORHOODS AND, YOU 

3094
01:44:46,980 --> 01:44:48,115
KNOW, AND I ALSO HEAR FROM A LOT

3095
01:44:48,115 --> 01:44:50,984
OF NEIGHBORS WHO, YOU KNOW, SEE 

3096
01:44:50,984 --> 01:44:52,286
SORT OF A REMOVAL, BUT THEN IT 

3097
01:44:52,286 --> 01:44:53,587
JUST GOES A BLOCK AWAY. AND JUST

3098
01:44:53,587 --> 01:44:56,023
TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THERE'S A 

3099
01:44:56,023 --> 01:44:59,059
PARTICULAR PLACE ON RIGHT OFF OF

3100
01:44:59,059 --> 01:44:59,660
RAINIER IN BAYVIEW, WHERE IT 

3101
01:44:59,660 --> 01:45:00,293
JUST GOES FROM ONE SIDE OF 

3102
01:45:00,293 --> 01:45:02,396
RAINIER TO THE OTHER SIDE. AND 

3103
01:45:02,396 --> 01:45:03,797
SO PEOPLE, WHAT I HEAR IS I'VE 

3104
01:45:03,797 --> 01:45:05,532
HEARD PEOPLE SAY, HEY, CAN YOU 

3105
01:45:05,532 --> 01:45:07,334
JUST NOT DO THIS AND JUST MOVE 

3106
01:45:07,334 --> 01:45:08,168
IT FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER? 

3107
01:45:08,168 --> 01:45:12,205
IS THERE ANOTHER APPROACH? AND 

3108
01:45:12,205 --> 01:45:14,274
BUT KIND OF GETTING BACK TO THE 

3109
01:45:14,274 --> 01:45:16,176
QUESTION I HAVE IS THE MAYOR'S 

3110
01:45:16,176 --> 01:45:18,345
OFFICE IS WORKING ON UNDER LAST 

3111
01:45:18,345 --> 01:45:20,547
YEAR'S BUDGET, YOU KNOW, THE 

3112
01:45:20,547 --> 01:45:22,516
CURRENT MAYOR HAD NO ROLE IN THE

3113
01:45:22,516 --> 01:45:24,117
BUDGET THAT THEY'RE OPERATING 

3114
01:45:24,117 --> 01:45:26,453
NOW. IS THAT CORRECT? 

3115
01:45:26,453 --> 01:45:27,854
-- CORRECT. YEAH. THESE ARE 

3116
01:45:27,854 --> 01:45:29,356
THESE ARE APPROPRIATIONS THAT 

3117
01:45:29,356 --> 01:45:30,724
WERE APPROVED LAST YEAR FOR 

3118
01:45:30,724 --> 01:45:30,924
THIS. 

3119
01:45:30,924 --> 01:45:31,992
-- SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SORT OF

3120
01:45:31,992 --> 01:45:34,194
THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS, 

3121
01:45:34,194 --> 01:45:35,362
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS WORKING 

3122
01:45:35,362 --> 01:45:36,763
UNDER THE BUDGET THAT THIS 

3123
01:45:36,763 --> 01:45:37,764
COUNCIL PROVIDED TO THE MAYOR'S

3124
01:45:37,764 --> 01:45:39,766
OFFICE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT

3125
01:45:39,766 --> 01:45:41,568
CLEAR. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT.

3126
01:45:41,568 --> 01:45:43,103
AND HAVE YOU SEEN IS THERE IN 

3127
01:45:43,103 --> 01:45:45,205
THE BUDGET, IS THERE A MAJOR 

3128
01:45:45,205 --> 01:45:47,174
UNDERSPEND IN UC T OPERATIONS? I

3129
01:45:47,174 --> 01:45:48,475
MEAN, IS THE IS THE MAYOR 

3130
01:45:48,475 --> 01:45:50,744
REFUSED TO SPEND ALL THE DOLLARS

3131
01:45:50,744 --> 01:45:52,446
THAT WERE GIVEN TO THE MAYOR. 

3132
01:45:52,446 --> 01:45:53,814
-- AND. COUNCILMEMBER LIN. I'M 

3133
01:45:53,814 --> 01:45:56,550
ACTUALLY I'M GOING TO COME IN 

3134
01:45:56,550 --> 01:45:59,519
AND CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THIS

3135
01:45:59,519 --> 01:46:00,053
CONVERSATION BECAUSE ONLY 

3136
01:46:00,053 --> 01:46:01,688
BECAUSE KARINA SPECIFICALLY PUT 

3137
01:46:01,688 --> 01:46:02,889
IN HER SLIDES THAT WE WILL TALK 

3138
01:46:02,889 --> 01:46:05,592
ABOUT THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM ON 

3139
01:46:05,592 --> 01:46:07,527
THURSDAY. SO SORRY. 

3140
01:46:07,527 --> 01:46:07,861
-- YEAH, AYE. 

3141
01:46:07,861 --> 01:46:11,164
-- JUST THAT TO SAY IS IF YOU DO

3142
01:46:11,164 --> 01:46:11,698
HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE 

3143
01:46:11,698 --> 01:46:12,332
POSITIONS FOR THE UNIFIED CARE 

3144
01:46:12,332 --> 01:46:13,700
TEAM WITHIN THE PARKS 

3145
01:46:13,700 --> 01:46:15,435
DEPARTMENT, TOTALLY FAIR GAME. 

3146
01:46:15,435 --> 01:46:19,206
I'M JUST WATCHING US ASK A LOT 

3147
01:46:19,206 --> 01:46:20,907
OF QUESTIONS FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S

3148
01:46:20,907 --> 01:46:22,509
SUBJECT MATTER. 

3149
01:46:22,509 --> 01:46:23,577
-- EXPERT. UNDERSTAND. I JUST 

3150
01:46:23,577 --> 01:46:25,579
GOT A LOT OF COMMENTARY ABOUT 

3151
01:46:25,579 --> 01:46:26,680
THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM. FEEL FREE

01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:27,214

3153
01:46:27,214 --> 01:46:28,815
-- FREE TO MAKE COMMENTARY. 

3154
01:46:28,815 --> 01:46:30,117
-- OKAY? OKAY. FAIR ENOUGH. 

3155
01:46:30,117 --> 01:46:32,285
WELL, SO MY ONLY I'LL JUST WRAP

3156
01:46:32,285 --> 01:46:34,888
IT UP AND JUST SAY WHAT I HEAR 

3157
01:46:34,888 --> 01:46:36,323
IS CONCERN THAT MAYBE THE BUDGET

3158
01:46:36,323 --> 01:46:37,491
WASN'T ENOUGH FOR THIS YEAR, 

3159
01:46:37,491 --> 01:46:39,593
BECAUSE I'VE HEARD CONCERNS, 

3160
01:46:39,593 --> 01:46:41,962
BUT I JUST I WANT TO, YOU KNOW, 

3161
01:46:41,962 --> 01:46:44,264
AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS ON 

3162
01:46:44,264 --> 01:46:46,333
THURSDAY TO MAKE CLEAR SORT OF 

3163
01:46:46,333 --> 01:46:48,235
THAT AT LEAST MY UNDERSTANDING 

3164
01:46:48,235 --> 01:46:49,469
IS, IS THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A

3165
01:46:49,469 --> 01:46:53,073
MAJOR CHANGE TO SPENDING ON UC T

3166
01:46:53,073 --> 01:46:55,108
OPERATIONS. AND SO IF WE AS A 

3167
01:46:55,108 --> 01:46:55,976
COUNCIL BELIEVE THAT MORE NEEDS 

3168
01:46:55,976 --> 01:46:57,177
TO BE SPENT ON THAT, CERTAINLY 

3169
01:46:57,177 --> 01:46:59,880
OPEN TO THAT CONVERSATION. BUT I

3170
01:46:59,880 --> 01:47:01,314
JUST WANT THE, YOU KNOW, FOR US 

3171
01:47:01,314 --> 01:47:03,850
TO BE CLEAR THAT THE CURRENT 

3172
01:47:03,850 --> 01:47:04,551
YEAR'S OPERATIONS WERE BASED ON

3173
01:47:04,551 --> 01:47:06,653
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET. THANK YOU. 

3174
01:47:06,653 --> 01:47:09,422
-- AND IF I CAN ADD ONE THING 

3175
01:47:09,422 --> 01:47:11,591
THAT I AM FAMILIAR WITH IS AS IT

3176
01:47:11,591 --> 01:47:16,129
RELATES TO THE SPR BUDGET, IS 

3177
01:47:16,129 --> 01:47:19,399
THAT CRITICAL TO THINKING ABOUT 

3178
01:47:19,399 --> 01:47:21,735
HOW YOU SEE ON THE GROUND WITH 

3179
01:47:21,735 --> 01:47:24,237
ADDITIONAL FUNDING CAN INCREASE 

3180
01:47:24,237 --> 01:47:26,706
THEIR SERVICES, IS RETHINKING 

3181
01:47:26,706 --> 01:47:29,743
WHAT POSITIONS ARE BUDGETED. SO 

3182
01:47:29,743 --> 01:47:32,012
WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM SPR IS 

3183
01:47:32,012 --> 01:47:34,114
THAT RIGHT NOW THEY'RE CONTENT.

3184
01:47:34,114 --> 01:47:36,016
THEY'RE THEY'VE PROPOSED 

3185
01:47:36,016 --> 01:47:37,551
REMOVING TWO AND A HALF 

3186
01:47:37,551 --> 01:47:39,619
POSITIONS AND NON LABOR 

3187
01:47:39,619 --> 01:47:41,521
RESOURCES. SPR HAS SAID THAT IF 

3188
01:47:41,521 --> 01:47:43,190
FUNDING WERE RESTORED FOR THOSE 

3189
01:47:43,190 --> 01:47:44,558
TWO AND A HALF ADMINISTRATIVE 

3190
01:47:44,558 --> 01:47:46,893
POSITIONS, THE MONEY WOULDN'T BE

3191
01:47:46,893 --> 01:47:48,829
SPENT BECAUSE THAT IS NOT WHAT 

3192
01:47:48,829 --> 01:47:50,497
THE UC T NEEDS IN ORDER TO 

3193
01:47:50,497 --> 01:47:53,667
INCREASE ITS SERVICES. SO WHAT 

3194
01:47:53,667 --> 01:47:55,001
WHAT SPR AND THE EXECUTIVE IS 

3195
01:47:55,001 --> 01:47:57,037
SAYING IS THAT THERE'S BEEN 

3196
01:47:57,037 --> 01:47:58,471
LEARNING THAT'S HAPPENED. AND 

3197
01:47:58,471 --> 01:48:01,641
I'M SEEING THAT THERE'S NOT 

3198
01:48:01,641 --> 01:48:05,278
AGREEMENT FROM THE DAIS, BUT IF 

3199
01:48:05,278 --> 01:48:07,047
THERE'S INTEREST, I THINK IT'S

3200
01:48:07,047 --> 01:48:09,316
WORTH CONSIDERING HOW TO 

3201
01:48:09,316 --> 01:48:11,885
REINVEST THOSE FUNDS, IF NOT 

3202
01:48:11,885 --> 01:48:12,419
ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS, 

3203
01:48:12,419 --> 01:48:14,054
PERHAPS DIFFERENT POSITIONS THAT

3204
01:48:14,054 --> 01:48:15,222
COULD SUPPORT AN INCREASE OF 

3205
01:48:15,222 --> 01:48:17,824
SERVICES. AND, AND GORMAN HAS 

3206
01:48:17,824 --> 01:48:18,692
BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS AS 

3207
01:48:18,692 --> 01:48:22,162
WELL. SO AGAIN, THIS WILL BE 

3208
01:48:22,162 --> 01:48:22,729
DISCUSSED IN FURTHER DETAIL 

3209
01:48:22,729 --> 01:48:24,464
DURING THE HSD PRESENTATION. 

3210
01:48:24,464 --> 01:48:26,399
-- THANK YOU. AND I SEE DEPUTY 

3211
01:48:26,399 --> 01:48:27,667
DIRECTOR CHOW AND COUNCILMEMBER 

3212
01:48:27,667 --> 01:48:28,335
LIN. I'M STILL GOING TO GIVE. 

3213
01:48:28,335 --> 01:48:30,637
YOU STILL HAVE THE FLOOR. IF 

3214
01:48:30,637 --> 01:48:31,471
YOU'VE GOT MORE STATEMENTS. I 

3215
01:48:31,471 --> 01:48:33,006
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE 

3216
01:48:33,006 --> 01:48:34,107
ARE ASKING THE CORRECT CENTRAL 

3217
01:48:34,107 --> 01:48:35,509
STAFF FOR THE CORRECT SET OF 

3218
01:48:35,509 --> 01:48:36,409
QUESTIONS. THAT'S ALL. SO 

3219
01:48:36,409 --> 01:48:37,711
STATEMENTS ARE MORE THAN. 

3220
01:48:37,711 --> 01:48:38,945
WELCOME OVER TO YOU, DIRECTOR 

3221
01:48:38,945 --> 01:48:39,145
CHAO. 

3222
01:48:39,145 --> 01:48:41,181
-- THANK YOU. I JUST JUST TO 

3223
01:48:41,181 --> 01:48:43,750
REITERATE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE 

3224
01:48:43,750 --> 01:48:44,784
SPEAKING AT WITH HALF THE WELL, 

3225
01:48:44,784 --> 01:48:46,119
LESS THAN HALF THE INFORMATION 

3226
01:48:46,119 --> 01:48:48,021
IN FRONT OF US RIGHT NOW. AND I 

3227
01:48:48,021 --> 01:48:49,890
DO THINK THAT CONVERSATION IS 

3228
01:48:49,890 --> 01:48:51,157
BETTER SUPPORTED WHEN WE HAVE AN

3229
01:48:51,157 --> 01:48:52,659
HERE TOMORROW TO HELP TALK ABOUT

3230
01:48:52,659 --> 01:48:53,593
THE AND THE REST OF THE TEAM AS 

3231
01:48:53,593 --> 01:48:55,462
WELL, TO TALK ABOUT HOW THIS 

3232
01:48:55,462 --> 01:48:57,697
AFFECTS ON A MORE HOLISTIC VIEW,

3233
01:48:57,697 --> 01:48:59,766
I THINK IT IT. I'M NOT SURE 

3234
01:48:59,766 --> 01:49:01,668
THAT WE AT THE TABLE ARE 

3235
01:49:01,668 --> 01:49:03,570
PREPARED TO HELP SUPPORT. BUT 

3236
01:49:03,570 --> 01:49:04,137
OBVIOUSLY WE UNDERSTAND THE 

3237
01:49:04,137 --> 01:49:05,839
STATEMENTS THAT THAT ARE THAT 

3238
01:49:05,839 --> 01:49:07,941
COUNCILMEMBERS WISH TO MAKE. 

3239
01:49:07,941 --> 01:49:11,912
-- THANK YOU. GOOD, GREAT. WE'RE

3240
01:49:11,912 --> 01:49:14,648
GOING TO GO ON TO COUNCILMEMBER 

3241
01:49:14,648 --> 01:49:17,017
FOSTER AND THEN WE'VE GOT 

3242
01:49:17,017 --> 01:49:17,651
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ AND KETTLE,

3243
01:49:17,651 --> 01:49:18,585
WHO BOTH HAVE SPOKEN BEFORE. SO 

3244
01:49:18,585 --> 01:49:19,552
WE'LL GO BACK TO THEM. SO IF 

3245
01:49:19,552 --> 01:49:20,320
YOU HAVE NOT SPOKEN, WOULD LIKE 

3246
01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:21,087
TO SPEAK, NOW'S THE TIME TO 

3247
01:49:21,087 --> 01:49:22,489
RAISE YOUR HAND. COUNCILMEMBER 

3248
01:49:22,489 --> 01:49:23,390
FOSTER. WELCOME. 

3249
01:49:23,390 --> 01:49:24,591
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR. I 

3250
01:49:24,591 --> 01:49:25,625
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AND AS 

3251
01:49:25,625 --> 01:49:26,693
ALWAYS, THANK YOU TO CENTRAL 

3252
01:49:26,693 --> 01:49:27,694
STAFF. THANK YOU. KARINA. I 

3253
01:49:27,694 --> 01:49:29,095
APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR WORK. 

3254
01:49:29,095 --> 01:49:30,430
I'M GOING TO FIRST START OFF 

3255
01:49:30,430 --> 01:49:31,031
WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS 

3256
01:49:31,031 --> 01:49:32,198
THAT WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT 

3257
01:49:32,198 --> 01:49:33,400
YET TODAY THAT I'M EXCITED TO 

3258
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:34,734
SEE IN THIS BUDGET, PARTICULARLY

3259
01:49:34,734 --> 01:49:37,704
AS IT COMES TO INVESTING IN OUR 

3260
01:49:37,704 --> 01:49:39,372
YOUTH AND OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. AND 

3261
01:49:39,372 --> 01:49:40,640
SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE A COUPLE

3262
01:49:40,640 --> 01:49:41,408
OF COMMENTS HERE FIRST. SO I 

3263
01:49:41,408 --> 01:49:43,810
JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, I THINK 

3264
01:49:43,810 --> 01:49:45,111
THERE'S $600,000 DEDICATED FROM

3265
01:49:45,111 --> 01:49:46,379
THE PARK DISTRICT FUND FOR A NEW

3266
01:49:46,379 --> 01:49:48,415
INVESTMENT IN AFTER SCHOOL 

3267
01:49:48,415 --> 01:49:48,915
COMMUNITY LEARNING AND 

3268
01:49:48,915 --> 01:49:50,317
PROGRAMING AT RAINIER BEACH HIGH

3269
01:49:50,317 --> 01:49:52,018
SCHOOL, INCLUDING PEER 

3270
01:49:52,018 --> 01:49:53,987
MENTORSHIP CONTRACTS WITH 

3271
01:49:53,987 --> 01:49:54,587
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND A 

3272
01:49:54,587 --> 01:49:56,356
CLC COORDINATOR. AND I'LL JUST 

3273
01:49:56,356 --> 01:49:57,757
START BY SAYING, YOU KNOW, I 

3274
01:49:57,757 --> 01:49:59,592
LIVE IN RAINIER BEACH, AND I 

3275
01:49:59,592 --> 01:50:01,394
THINK RAINIER BEACH AS 

3276
01:50:01,394 --> 01:50:03,663
COUNCILMEMBER LIN SPEAKS TO 

3277
01:50:03,663 --> 01:50:05,365
FREQUENTLY, UNFORTUNATELY, HAS 

3278
01:50:05,365 --> 01:50:07,200
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SEEN MORE 

3279
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:10,170
THAN OUR FAIR SHARE OF VIOLENCE 

3280
01:50:10,170 --> 01:50:11,905
AND SHOOTINGS. I MYSELF CALLED 

3281
01:50:11,905 --> 01:50:13,673
911 LAST WEEK BECAUSE I HEARD 

3282
01:50:13,673 --> 01:50:16,543
SHOTS FIRED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, 

3283
01:50:16,543 --> 01:50:18,044
AND OFTEN WHEN I'M TALKING TO 

3284
01:50:18,044 --> 01:50:19,045
FOLKS AND I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE

3285
01:50:19,045 --> 01:50:20,113
OF GETTING TO SIT NEXT TO 

3286
01:50:20,113 --> 01:50:22,482
COUNCILMEMBER LIN AT A FEW 

3287
01:50:22,482 --> 01:50:23,049
COMMUNITY MEETINGS, WHAT WE 

3288
01:50:23,049 --> 01:50:23,650
REALLY HEAR ABOUT IS THE NEED 

3289
01:50:23,650 --> 01:50:25,085
FOR YOUTH INVESTMENT AND SAFE 

3290
01:50:25,085 --> 01:50:27,988
PLACES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO GO. 

3291
01:50:27,988 --> 01:50:28,989
AND I KNOW THAT THE YOUTH 

3292
01:50:28,989 --> 01:50:29,589
VIOLENCE IN RAINIER BEACH HAS 

3293
01:50:29,589 --> 01:50:31,858
NOT JUST AFFECTED OUR COMMUNITY,

3294
01:50:31,858 --> 01:50:32,459
BUT HAS ACTUALLY HAD A REALLY 

3295
01:50:32,459 --> 01:50:34,494
LARGE EFFECT CITYWIDE, 

3296
01:50:34,494 --> 01:50:35,495
PARTICULARLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT 

3297
01:50:35,495 --> 01:50:36,896
CONNECTIONS TO SEATTLE CENTER 

3298
01:50:36,896 --> 01:50:37,497
AND OTHER SHOOTINGS THAT HAVE 

3299
01:50:37,497 --> 01:50:39,466
BEEN IN THE NEWS. SO I JUST WANT

3300
01:50:39,466 --> 01:50:40,967
TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR 

3301
01:50:40,967 --> 01:50:41,901
THIS INVESTMENT, AND I HOPE THAT

3302
01:50:41,901 --> 01:50:43,737
IT'S AN INVESTMENT. WE WILL 

3303
01:50:43,737 --> 01:50:44,771
CONTINUE TO MAKE AND THAT WE 

3304
01:50:44,771 --> 01:50:46,973
WILL HOLD STABLE THROUGH THE THE

3305
01:50:46,973 --> 01:50:48,174
COUNCIL DELIBERATIONS AND THE 

3306
01:50:48,174 --> 01:50:50,310
BUDGET PROCESS. I ALSO WANT TO 

3307
01:50:50,310 --> 01:50:52,278
HIGHLIGHT, AND I WANT TO 

3308
01:50:52,278 --> 01:50:52,879
APPRECIATE COUNCILMEMBER SAKA 

3309
01:50:52,879 --> 01:50:54,614
FOR HIS LEADERSHIP ON THE TEEN 

3310
01:50:54,614 --> 01:50:56,116
LATE NIGHT PROGRAM. I THINK THIS

3311
01:50:56,116 --> 01:50:57,550
WAS SOMETHING. IF I REMEMBER 

3312
01:50:57,550 --> 01:50:58,718
CORRECTLY, YOU ADDED LAST YEAR, 

3313
01:50:58,718 --> 01:51:00,520
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG 

3314
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:01,588
AND I'LL JUST EXPRESS MY 

3315
01:51:01,588 --> 01:51:02,522
APPRECIATION TO THE MAYOR FOR 

3316
01:51:02,522 --> 01:51:04,958
THIS ONGOING ONE YEAR PILOT OR 

3317
01:51:04,958 --> 01:51:06,459
MAKING THIS ONGOING, BECAUSE I 

3318
01:51:06,459 --> 01:51:09,095
ALSO KNOW THAT THE NEED AROUND 

3319
01:51:09,095 --> 01:51:10,797
LATE NIGHT PROGRAMING IS NOT 

3320
01:51:10,797 --> 01:51:11,798
UNIQUE TO TO RAINIER BEACH. I 

3321
01:51:11,798 --> 01:51:12,999
JUST SPOKE TO THAT BECAUSE I 

3322
01:51:12,999 --> 01:51:15,168
LIVE THERE. BUT AS A CITY WIDE 

3323
01:51:15,168 --> 01:51:16,236
COUNCILMEMBER, WE SEE SIMILAR 

3324
01:51:16,236 --> 01:51:18,171
CHALLENGES IN HIGH POINT AND 

3325
01:51:18,171 --> 01:51:19,839
LAKE CITY AND MANY OTHER PLACES 

3326
01:51:19,839 --> 01:51:21,007
AROUND THE CITY THAT NEED MORE 

3327
01:51:21,007 --> 01:51:22,242
SAFE PLACES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO 

3328
01:51:22,242 --> 01:51:24,878
GO. SO I DO THINK THOSE ARE TWO 

3329
01:51:24,878 --> 01:51:26,746
REALLY IMPORTANT ADS IN THE 

3330
01:51:26,746 --> 01:51:28,014
MAYOR'S BUDGET. AND SO I'M 

3331
01:51:28,014 --> 01:51:29,115
HIGHLIGHT AS I'M HIGHLIGHTING 

3332
01:51:29,115 --> 01:51:31,785
THOSE IT YOU KNOW, I THINK 

3333
01:51:31,785 --> 01:51:32,419
THAT'S ABOUT $900,000 IN THE 

3334
01:51:32,419 --> 01:51:33,453
BUDGET. YOU KNOW, SOME OF THAT 

3335
01:51:33,453 --> 01:51:34,921
PARK FUNDING, SOME OF THAT 

3336
01:51:34,921 --> 01:51:36,456
GENERAL FUND DOLLARS. AND THEN I

3337
01:51:36,456 --> 01:51:38,124
WANT TO PIVOT TO TALKING ABOUT 

3338
01:51:38,124 --> 01:51:43,196
UCBT BECAUSE WHAT I SEE HERE IS 

3339
01:51:43,196 --> 01:51:44,431
ABOUT A $900,000 REDUCTION IN 

3340
01:51:44,431 --> 01:51:45,065
UCBT. SO IT'S REALLY HARD FOR 

3341
01:51:45,065 --> 01:51:46,299
ME, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE 

3342
01:51:46,299 --> 01:51:48,568
CONVERSATION ON FRIDAY TO GET 

3343
01:51:48,568 --> 01:51:50,070
THAT, THAT REPORT BACK IN TERMS 

3344
01:51:50,070 --> 01:51:53,173
OF WHAT THAT $900,000 REPRESENTS

3345
01:51:53,173 --> 01:51:54,741
IN TERMS OF A TOTAL SHARE OF THE

3346
01:51:54,741 --> 01:51:56,810
UCBT BUDGET. I HAD THE SAME 

3347
01:51:56,810 --> 01:51:57,444
QUESTION THAT COUNCILMEMBER LIN 

3348
01:51:57,444 --> 01:51:58,078
HAD. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO 

3349
01:51:58,078 --> 01:51:59,512
HEARING THAT AND HAVING THAT AS 

3350
01:51:59,512 --> 01:52:01,881
A ROBUST CONVERSATION, 

3351
01:52:01,881 --> 01:52:02,716
PARTICULARLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING

3352
01:52:02,716 --> 01:52:03,349
ABOUT THIS QUESTION OF WHETHER 

3353
01:52:03,349 --> 01:52:04,784
OR NOT WE ARE FUNDING OR 

3354
01:52:04,784 --> 01:52:06,986
DEFUNDING UCBT, I THINK IT'S 

3355
01:52:06,986 --> 01:52:08,388
CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE THAT IN 

3356
01:52:08,388 --> 01:52:10,557
CONTEXT. I WILL ALSO SAY, AND I 

3357
01:52:10,557 --> 01:52:11,791
NOW MOVE INTO JUST A QUESTION 

3358
01:52:11,791 --> 01:52:14,094
BEFORE I SHARE A FEW MORE 

3359
01:52:14,094 --> 01:52:15,128
COMMENTS, CAN YOU JUST TALK TO 

3360
01:52:15,128 --> 01:52:16,162
ME REALLY QUICKLY? IT SAYS THAT 

3361
01:52:16,162 --> 01:52:18,198
THESE ARE THREE VACANT. VACANT 

3362
01:52:18,198 --> 01:52:19,899
POSITIONS. DO WE KNOW IF THESE 

3363
01:52:19,899 --> 01:52:20,700
POSITIONS HAVE BEEN FILLED IN 

3364
01:52:20,700 --> 01:52:21,534
THE PAST AND IF SO, HOW RECENTLY

3365
01:52:21,534 --> 01:52:22,502
THEY WERE FILLED? 

3366
01:52:22,502 --> 01:52:23,837
-- THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN FILLED. 

3367
01:52:23,837 --> 01:52:27,207
THEY WERE ADDED TO SPR BUDGET IN

3368
01:52:27,207 --> 01:52:29,576
2023 AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN 

3369
01:52:29,576 --> 01:52:31,044
FILLED. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE 

3370
01:52:31,044 --> 01:52:32,679
TRUCK DRIVER POSITIONS HAVE NOT 

3371
01:52:32,679 --> 01:52:34,948
BEEN FILLED EITHER. FOR THE UC T

3372
01:52:34,948 --> 01:52:35,215
PURPOSE. 

3373
01:52:35,215 --> 01:52:35,415
-- SO 

3374
01:52:35,415 --> 01:52:36,049
-- OF THESE POSITIONS WERE ADDED

3375
01:52:36,049 --> 01:52:38,318
IN 2023 UNDER THE HERALD 

3376
01:52:38,318 --> 01:52:39,552
ADMINISTRATION, AND THEY WERE 

3377
01:52:39,552 --> 01:52:40,820
NEVER FILLED OVER THE LAST 

3378
01:52:40,820 --> 01:52:42,388
SEVERAL YEARS. CORRECT. OKAY. 

3379
01:52:42,388 --> 01:52:43,656
AND BUT WE'VE HAD IT AS A CARRY

3380
01:52:43,656 --> 01:52:46,226
FORWARD ON OUR BUDGET, 

3381
01:52:46,226 --> 01:52:46,760
REPRESENTING $900,000 IN 

3382
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:47,427
INVESTMENT. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE 

3383
01:52:47,427 --> 01:52:49,229
ARE UPDATING TO REFLECT THE 

3384
01:52:49,229 --> 01:52:52,599
CURRENT REALITY, WHICH HAS BEEN 

3385
01:52:52,599 --> 01:52:54,934
THE REALITY SINCE 2023, 2024, 

3386
01:52:54,934 --> 01:52:56,369
2025, 26. 

3387
01:52:56,369 --> 01:52:56,669
-- CORRECT. 

3388
01:52:56,669 --> 01:52:57,403
-- OKAY. THAT'S, I THINK, 

3389
01:52:57,403 --> 01:52:59,339
INCREDIBLY HELPFUL WHEN WE GET 

3390
01:52:59,339 --> 01:53:00,974
CLARITY ABOUT WHETHER WE ARE ON 

3391
01:53:00,974 --> 01:53:02,242
FUNDING AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT 

3392
01:53:02,242 --> 01:53:03,209
TO SEE AS A RESULT OF THIS 

3393
01:53:03,209 --> 01:53:05,278
REDUCTION, BECAUSE IT'S MY 

3394
01:53:05,278 --> 01:53:05,979
UNDERSTANDING THIS REDUCTION IS 

3395
01:53:05,979 --> 01:53:07,113
NOT THE EQUIVALENT OF A 

3396
01:53:07,113 --> 01:53:08,314
REDUCTION IN SERVICE, BUT IT'S A

3397
01:53:08,314 --> 01:53:09,616
REDUCTION IN OPEN POSITIONS THAT

3398
01:53:09,616 --> 01:53:10,650
HAVE BEEN UNFILLED FOR A NUMBER 

3399
01:53:10,650 --> 01:53:14,420
OF YEARS. I ALSO WANT TO TURN TO

3400
01:53:14,420 --> 01:53:17,157
THIS PIECE HERE AROUND THE 

3401
01:53:17,157 --> 01:53:18,324
NATURAL RESOURCES UNIT. SO 

3402
01:53:18,324 --> 01:53:20,260
AGAIN, I WANT TO CHECK MY 

3403
01:53:20,260 --> 01:53:21,961
UNDERSTANDING HERE. THIS STATES 

3404
01:53:21,961 --> 01:53:23,897
THAT THESE WERE POSITIONS THAT 

3405
01:53:23,897 --> 01:53:25,932
EXISTED PRIOR TO THE FORMATION 

3406
01:53:25,932 --> 01:53:28,001
OF UKTI. SO ARE THESE. CAN YOU 

3407
01:53:28,001 --> 01:53:29,169
JUST MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR HERE. 

3408
01:53:29,169 --> 01:53:31,137
THESE POSITIONS HAVE BEEN FILLED

3409
01:53:31,137 --> 01:53:33,406
PREVIOUSLY. THE NATURAL 

3410
01:53:33,406 --> 01:53:34,007
RESOURCES COMPONENT OF THAT. 

3411
01:53:34,007 --> 01:53:36,576
-- I CAN'T I CAN'T SPEAK WITH 

3412
01:53:36,576 --> 01:53:38,478
DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO THAT, BUT 

3413
01:53:38,478 --> 01:53:39,512
I'M GOING TO GUESS YES. AND I 

3414
01:53:39,512 --> 01:53:40,780
CAN FIND THAT OUT FOR YOU. BUT 

3415
01:53:40,780 --> 01:53:43,316
WHEN THEY WERE MOVED OVER TO THE

3416
01:53:43,316 --> 01:53:46,119
UKTI PROGRAM, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN

3417
01:53:46,119 --> 01:53:47,287
FILLED SINCE THEN. AND WHAT SPR 

3418
01:53:47,287 --> 01:53:48,488
HAS SAID IS THEY HAVE NOT FOUND 

3419
01:53:48,488 --> 01:53:50,990
THAT THE POSITIONS WERE 

3420
01:53:50,990 --> 01:53:53,326
NECESSARY TO THEIR 

3421
01:53:53,326 --> 01:53:54,327
IMPLEMENTATION OF UKTI SERVICES.

3422
01:53:54,327 --> 01:53:56,429
AND SO THEY ARE. THIS BUDGET 

3423
01:53:56,429 --> 01:53:58,932
PROPOSES MOVING THEM BACK OVER 

3424
01:53:58,932 --> 01:54:00,733
TO NATURAL RESOURCES, AND 

3425
01:54:00,733 --> 01:54:02,268
THEY'RE SOME PLACE IN THE 

3426
01:54:02,268 --> 01:54:03,536
HIRING PROCESS FOR THAT FOR 

3427
01:54:03,536 --> 01:54:04,103
THOSE POSITIONS RIGHT NOW. 

3428
01:54:04,103 --> 01:54:04,804
-- GOT IT. 

3429
01:54:04,804 --> 01:54:07,040
-- SO THOSE NATURAL RESOURCES. 

3430
01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:07,674
-- SO THOSE POSITIONS WILL BE 

3431
01:54:07,674 --> 01:54:09,709
FILLED. THEY'LL BE FILLED AS 

3432
01:54:09,709 --> 01:54:10,310
NATURAL RESOURCES POSITIONS, 

3433
01:54:10,310 --> 01:54:12,579
WHICH WAS THE PREVIOUS STATE OF 

3434
01:54:12,579 --> 01:54:14,414
PLAY. AND THEY WERE NEVER FILLED

3435
01:54:14,414 --> 01:54:15,248
AFTER THEY GOT MOVED TO UKTI. IS

3436
01:54:15,248 --> 01:54:17,450
THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. OKAY. 

3437
01:54:17,450 --> 01:54:18,818
THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL. AND THEN

3438
01:54:18,818 --> 01:54:19,519
I WANT TO ALSO JUST MAKE SURE 

3439
01:54:19,519 --> 01:54:21,788
THAT I HAVE CLARITY FOR THE 

3440
01:54:21,788 --> 01:54:23,356
DESIGNATED ROLE OF THOSE THREE 

3441
01:54:23,356 --> 01:54:24,257
POSITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN VACANT 

3442
01:54:24,257 --> 01:54:25,491
SINCE THEY WERE FUNDED. CAN YOU 

3443
01:54:25,491 --> 01:54:26,826
JUST SPEAK TO THE SORT OF SCOPE 

3444
01:54:26,826 --> 01:54:28,862
OF WORK THAT THEY WERE INTENDED 

3445
01:54:28,862 --> 01:54:31,097
TO DO? AS WE KNOW, UKTI IS A 

3446
01:54:31,097 --> 01:54:33,366
BROAD PROGRAM THAT HAS A LOT 

3447
01:54:33,366 --> 01:54:34,400
UNDERNEATH IT AND A LOT OF 

3448
01:54:34,400 --> 01:54:36,135
REALLY CRITICAL RESIDENT 

3449
01:54:36,135 --> 01:54:38,304
SERVICES AND SPACE MANAGEMENT 

3450
01:54:38,304 --> 01:54:39,439
FUNCTIONS. SO WHAT WAS THE SORT 

3451
01:54:39,439 --> 01:54:40,907
OF DESIGNATED SCOPE OF WORK FOR 

3452
01:54:40,907 --> 01:54:42,909
THOSE THREE POSITIONS? 

3453
01:54:42,909 --> 01:54:44,877
-- I DON'T HAVE THE DESIGNATED 

3454
01:54:44,877 --> 01:54:46,479
SCOPE OF WORK AS FAR AS SPECIFIC

3455
01:54:46,479 --> 01:54:49,282
TASKS, BUT THEY WERE 

3456
01:54:49,282 --> 01:54:49,782
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT 

3457
01:54:49,782 --> 01:54:50,183
POSITIONS. 

3458
01:54:50,183 --> 01:54:51,084
-- OKAY. GOT IT. SO I'D LOVE TO

3459
01:54:51,084 --> 01:54:53,186
HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT. AND I'M 

3460
01:54:53,186 --> 01:54:55,021
HAPPY TO PUT THAT INTO THE THE 

3461
01:54:55,021 --> 01:54:55,755
TRACKER. I KNOW THAT OBVIOUSLY 

3462
01:54:55,755 --> 01:54:58,458
THE WORK THAT FOLKS DO THROUGH 

3463
01:54:58,458 --> 01:54:59,993
UKTI, AS I SAID, IS SORT OF IS 

3464
01:54:59,993 --> 01:55:01,628
MULTIFACETED. WHETHER THAT MEANS

3465
01:55:01,628 --> 01:55:02,829
REFERRALS, WHETHER THAT MEANS 

3466
01:55:02,829 --> 01:55:04,797
THAT WE ARE CONNECTING PEOPLE 

3467
01:55:04,797 --> 01:55:05,565
WITH SERVICES. BUT IT SOUNDS 

3468
01:55:05,565 --> 01:55:07,033
LIKE THESE WERE NOT POSITIONS 

3469
01:55:07,033 --> 01:55:10,069
THAT WERE SORT OF, I WOULD SAY, 

3470
01:55:10,069 --> 01:55:10,703
FORWARD FACING. IT SOUNDS LIKE 

3471
01:55:10,703 --> 01:55:13,072
THESE WERE SORT OF ADMIN BACK OF

3472
01:55:13,072 --> 01:55:14,908
THE HOUSE POSITIONS TO SUPPORT 

3473
01:55:14,908 --> 01:55:16,376
THE FUNCTIONS OF THE TEAM. BUT I

3474
01:55:16,376 --> 01:55:17,810
DO HOPE THAT WE CAN SORT OF DIG 

3475
01:55:17,810 --> 01:55:19,212
MORE INTO THAT. AND I AND I SAY 

3476
01:55:19,212 --> 01:55:20,847
THIS AS A PREAMBLE, NOT BECAUSE 

3477
01:55:20,847 --> 01:55:23,416
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A 

3478
01:55:23,416 --> 01:55:26,586
NEED FOR CONNECTING PEOPLE TO 

3479
01:55:26,586 --> 01:55:27,120
SERVICES OR PUBLIC SPACE 

3480
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:27,754
MANAGEMENT. BUT I WANT TO MAKE 

3481
01:55:27,754 --> 01:55:28,788
SURE THAT AS WE'RE HAVING A 

3482
01:55:28,788 --> 01:55:29,756
CONVERSATION AROUND THIS BUDGET,

3483
01:55:29,756 --> 01:55:32,425
THAT WE ARE INCREDIBLY CLEAR 

3484
01:55:32,425 --> 01:55:33,693
ABOUT WHAT POSITIONS WE'RE 

3485
01:55:33,693 --> 01:55:35,461
TALKING ABOUT, NOT JUST THE 

3486
01:55:35,461 --> 01:55:37,196
UMBRELLA PROGRAM AND THE 

3487
01:55:37,196 --> 01:55:38,331
UMBRELLA SORT OF FUNCTION. SO I 

3488
01:55:38,331 --> 01:55:39,899
HOPE THAT WE CAN GET THAT REPORT

3489
01:55:39,899 --> 01:55:42,402
BACK PRIOR TO THE HSD 

3490
01:55:42,402 --> 01:55:44,070
CONVERSATION ON FRIDAY TO 

3491
01:55:44,070 --> 01:55:45,538
SUPPORT US IN HAVING WHAT I 

3492
01:55:45,538 --> 01:55:47,573
THINK IS A REALLY CRITICAL 

3493
01:55:47,573 --> 01:55:48,107
CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE 

3494
01:55:48,107 --> 01:55:49,809
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC SPACE 

3495
01:55:49,809 --> 01:55:51,711
MANAGEMENT AND CONNECTING PEOPLE

3496
01:55:51,711 --> 01:55:52,345
TO SERVICES. YOU KNOW, I WILL 

3497
01:55:52,345 --> 01:55:54,047
ALSO JUST SAY AS A AS A COMMENT,

3498
01:55:54,047 --> 01:55:55,948
I REALLY APPRECIATED, I DON'T 

3499
01:55:55,948 --> 01:55:59,285
KNOW WHAT DAY IT WAS WHEN WE HAD

3500
01:55:59,285 --> 01:55:59,919
PUBLIC PUBLIC COMMENT HERE LAST.

3501
01:55:59,919 --> 01:56:01,387
IT FEELS LIKE THE DAYS ARE 

3502
01:56:01,387 --> 01:56:02,188
BLURRING TOGETHER, BUT I REALLY 

3503
01:56:02,188 --> 01:56:02,922
APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW WE GOT TO 

3504
01:56:02,922 --> 01:56:04,424
HEAR FROM DENNIS FROM THE 

3505
01:56:04,424 --> 01:56:05,958
DOWNTOWN SEATTLE ASSOCIATION, 

3506
01:56:05,958 --> 01:56:07,427
AND I EXPECT THAT WE'LL CONTINUE

3507
01:56:07,427 --> 01:56:08,394
TO HEAR MORE FROM THEM IN THE 

3508
01:56:08,394 --> 01:56:09,996
COMING WEEKS AROUND THE NEED TO 

3509
01:56:09,996 --> 01:56:12,932
CONTINUE INVESTING IN SERVICES 

3510
01:56:12,932 --> 01:56:14,734
AND CONNECTIONS THAT ARE 

3511
01:56:14,734 --> 01:56:15,735
SUCCESSFULLY RESULTING IN 

3512
01:56:15,735 --> 01:56:17,236
GETTING PEOPLE CONNECTED TO 

3513
01:56:17,236 --> 01:56:18,571
HOUSING, LIKE THE PILOT THAT 

3514
01:56:18,571 --> 01:56:19,639
WE'VE SEEN IN PIONEER SQUARE. 

3515
01:56:19,639 --> 01:56:21,908
SO I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING THAT

3516
01:56:21,908 --> 01:56:22,542
ROBUST CONVERSATION WHEN WE GET 

3517
01:56:22,542 --> 01:56:24,043
TO HSD BUDGET. THANK YOU. THANK 

3518
01:56:24,043 --> 01:56:25,812
YOU, CHAIR. 

3519
01:56:25,812 --> 01:56:26,379
-- THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

3520
01:56:26,379 --> 01:56:27,580
FOSTER ANYTHING FROM THE 

3521
01:56:27,580 --> 01:56:28,848
COMMITTEE TABLE RIGHT NOW? NOPE.

3522
01:56:28,848 --> 01:56:30,149
WE ARE GOING TO GO AND WE'LL 

3523
01:56:30,149 --> 01:56:31,217
COME BACK TO COUNCILMEMBER 

3524
01:56:31,217 --> 01:56:35,254
JUAREZ FOR CLOSING. 

3525
01:56:35,254 --> 01:56:35,722
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. 

3526
01:56:35,722 --> 01:56:37,357
-- THANK YOU. CHAIR. I JUST 

3527
01:56:37,357 --> 01:56:38,024
WANTED TO NOTE THAT, YOU KNOW, 

3528
01:56:38,024 --> 01:56:39,592
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S NOT

3529
01:56:39,592 --> 01:56:41,461
A HERALD BUDGET. IT'S NOT A 

3530
01:56:41,461 --> 01:56:43,629
WILSON BUDGET BECAUSE IT'S A 

3531
01:56:43,629 --> 01:56:46,132
CITY OF SEATTLE BUDGET THAT IS, 

3532
01:56:46,132 --> 01:56:48,668
YOU KNOW, FINALIZED BY US, THE 

3533
01:56:48,668 --> 01:56:52,271
CITY COUNCIL. AND, YOU KNOW, ONE

3534
01:56:52,271 --> 01:56:54,107
OF THE ISSUES ON PUBLIC SAFETY 

3535
01:56:54,107 --> 01:56:57,310
PARTICULARLY IS THE LACK OF 

3536
01:56:57,310 --> 01:56:57,910
IMPLEMENTATION OF LAW BY THE 

3537
01:56:57,910 --> 01:56:58,578
EXECUTIVE. AND I'M NOT SAYING 

3538
01:56:58,578 --> 01:57:00,146
THIS ABOUT ONE ADMINISTRATION. 

3539
01:57:00,146 --> 01:57:01,981
I'M SAYING THE GENERAL SENSE, 

3540
01:57:01,981 --> 01:57:03,683
AND THIS INCLUDES BUDGET, WHICH 

3541
01:57:03,683 --> 01:57:08,554
IS A LAW YOU KNOW, AND SO THESE 

3542
01:57:08,554 --> 01:57:10,156
BILLETS LIKE LET'S TAKE, FOR 

3543
01:57:10,156 --> 01:57:11,724
EXAMPLE, THE THE REAL TIME CRIME

3544
01:57:11,724 --> 01:57:13,760
CENTER, NINE BILLETS, THE LAW 

3545
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:15,128
SAYS. AND GRANTED, THERE'S 

3546
01:57:15,128 --> 01:57:16,829
EXECUTIVE, YOU KNOW, DISCRETION 

3547
01:57:16,829 --> 01:57:18,164
AND SO FORTH, THAT THOSE NINE 

3548
01:57:18,164 --> 01:57:19,866
BILLETS WERE UNFILLED. AND IT 

3549
01:57:19,866 --> 01:57:21,501
WAS PURPOSELY DONE THIS YEAR NOT

3550
01:57:21,501 --> 01:57:23,069
TO FILL THOSE NINE BILLETS. THEY

3551
01:57:23,069 --> 01:57:24,437
COULD HAVE EASILY DONE IT. WE'LL

3552
01:57:24,437 --> 01:57:27,673
LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT TOMORROW. 

3553
01:57:27,673 --> 01:57:29,275
AND THESE OTHER BILLETS AND THE 

3554
01:57:29,275 --> 01:57:31,711
DEPARTMENTS RELATED TO THE YOU 

3555
01:57:31,711 --> 01:57:32,779
CITY NOT FILLED. AT THE END OF 

3556
01:57:32,779 --> 01:57:34,747
THE DAY, WE CAN HAVE MISS 

3557
01:57:34,747 --> 01:57:37,116
FINNEGAN BACK, BUT WHEN I'M 

3558
01:57:37,116 --> 01:57:38,518
TALKING TO CITY OF GOVERNMENT 

3559
01:57:38,518 --> 01:57:39,185
EMPLOYEES AND THEY'RE SAYING, 

3560
01:57:39,185 --> 01:57:39,919
YEAH, WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE 

3561
01:57:39,919 --> 01:57:42,989
BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET THE HEAVY 

3562
01:57:42,989 --> 01:57:43,623
EQUIPMENT OPERATOR FROM PARKS TO

3563
01:57:43,623 --> 01:57:45,658
HELP US WITH THIS ENCAMPMENT. 

3564
01:57:45,658 --> 01:57:48,327
THERE SEEMS TO BE A DISCONNECT 

3565
01:57:48,327 --> 01:57:50,096
BETWEEN WHAT'S BEING SAID IN 

3566
01:57:50,096 --> 01:57:51,898
CITY HALL AND WHAT'S BEING SAID

3567
01:57:51,898 --> 01:57:53,466
ON THE STREETS AND WHAT'S 

3568
01:57:53,466 --> 01:57:55,101
HAPPENING ON THE STREETS, SO WE 

3569
01:57:55,101 --> 01:57:56,569
CAN GO AROUND AND AROUND ON 

3570
01:57:56,569 --> 01:57:59,839
THIS. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

3571
01:57:59,839 --> 01:58:00,473
AS EVERYBODY'S NOTED IN THE 

3572
01:58:00,473 --> 01:58:03,076
CITY, I'VE SEEN IT IN DISTRICT 

3573
01:58:03,076 --> 01:58:05,078
TWO AND OUR WALKS, I'VE SEEN IT.

3574
01:58:05,078 --> 01:58:06,646
DISTRICT UP ON AURORA. I'VE SEEN

3575
01:58:06,646 --> 01:58:08,481
IT ALL OVER THE PLACE. AS PUBLIC

3576
01:58:08,481 --> 01:58:11,451
SAFETY CHAIR, WE ARE 

3577
01:58:11,451 --> 01:58:12,652
BACKSLIDING. AND I'VE BEEN TOLD

3578
01:58:12,652 --> 01:58:15,721
THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN. YOU KNOW, 

3579
01:58:15,721 --> 01:58:16,389
SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN BUILDING 

3580
01:58:16,389 --> 01:58:20,460
STEAM OVER THE LAST FIVE MONTHS.

3581
01:58:20,460 --> 01:58:24,430
SO THAT'S ANOTHER 

3582
01:58:24,430 --> 01:58:25,765
CONSIDERATION. THAT WE SHOULD 

3583
01:58:25,765 --> 01:58:27,333
HAVE HERE. SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT 

3584
01:58:27,333 --> 01:58:29,469
THIS BUDGET PIECE OR THAT BUDGET

3585
01:58:29,469 --> 01:58:31,170
PIECE. BUT AT THE END OF THE 

3586
01:58:31,170 --> 01:58:32,505
DAY, BUDGET POSITIONS ARE NOT 

3587
01:58:32,505 --> 01:58:34,907
FILLED. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN 

3588
01:58:34,907 --> 01:58:36,476
IT'S NOT IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE

3589
01:58:36,476 --> 01:58:37,143
ANYMORE, WHICH EVERYBODY KNOWS. 

3590
01:58:37,143 --> 01:58:39,879
THAT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. 

3591
01:58:39,879 --> 01:58:42,748
AND, AND AT THE DAY, YOU KNOW, 

3592
01:58:42,748 --> 01:58:45,184
WE HAVE THESE UNFILLED, WE 

3593
01:58:45,184 --> 01:58:47,954
CANNOT RELY ON A WISH OR HOPE 

3594
01:58:47,954 --> 01:58:50,857
STRATEGY TO ACHIEVE OUR PUBLIC 

3595
01:58:50,857 --> 01:58:52,725
SAFETY GOALS. AND TO BE FRANK, 

3596
01:58:52,725 --> 01:58:54,260
THAT'S WHAT THIS PUBLIC SAFETY 

3597
01:58:54,260 --> 01:58:55,828
I'M JUST TALKING PUBLIC SAFETY 

3598
01:58:55,828 --> 01:58:59,732
TO INCLUDE THE U. C T IT IS A A 

3599
01:58:59,732 --> 01:59:03,836
HOPE OR WISH STRATEGY. THANK YOU

3600
01:59:03,836 --> 01:59:04,070
CHAIR. 

3601
01:59:04,070 --> 01:59:05,571
-- THANK YOU. ANYTHING FROM THE 

3602
01:59:05,571 --> 01:59:06,839
COMMITTEE TABLE AT THIS TIME? 

3603
01:59:06,839 --> 01:59:08,107
SEEING NOTHING, I WILL GO INTO 

3604
01:59:08,107 --> 01:59:09,909
MY COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS UNLESS

3605
01:59:09,909 --> 01:59:10,543
THERE'S COLLEAGUES THAT HAVE 

3606
01:59:10,543 --> 01:59:11,511
NOT SPOKEN THAT WOULD LIKE TO 

3607
01:59:11,511 --> 01:59:13,946
SPEAK RIGHT NOW. SEEING NONE, I 

3608
01:59:13,946 --> 01:59:15,448
WANT TO COME BACK TO THE 

3609
01:59:15,448 --> 01:59:16,082
BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION, 

3610
01:59:16,082 --> 01:59:18,084
AND I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO PULL 

3611
01:59:18,084 --> 01:59:19,785
THE PRESENTATION UP FOR MYSELF 

3612
01:59:19,785 --> 01:59:20,520
JUST SO THAT I'M TRACKING 

3613
01:59:20,520 --> 01:59:25,057
THROUGH. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT 

3614
01:59:25,057 --> 01:59:27,560
ABOUT THE. SO ON PAGE THREE, I 

3615
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:31,063
WOULD LIKE TO DIG INTO. I DON'T

3616
01:59:31,063 --> 01:59:32,698
THE SEATTLE CONSERVATION CORPS 

3617
01:59:32,698 --> 01:59:33,799
FOR MY TEAM WHO'S WATCHING. I 

3618
01:59:33,799 --> 01:59:35,535
NOTED THIS ON MY TRACKER 

3619
01:59:35,535 --> 01:59:37,470
EARLIER. I'M GLAD THAT WE ARE 

3620
01:59:37,470 --> 01:59:39,872
ADDING HUMAN RESOURCES STAFF TO 

3621
01:59:39,872 --> 01:59:41,240
THE PROGRAM. I DO WANT TO 

3622
01:59:41,240 --> 01:59:43,643
CONFIRM THAT WE RETAIN THREE 

3623
01:59:43,643 --> 01:59:48,915
COHORTS OF SEATTLE CONSERVATION 

3624
01:59:48,915 --> 01:59:50,149
CORPS MEMBERS. I KNOW THAT WE 

3625
01:59:50,149 --> 01:59:54,420
HAD EXPANDED THOSE IN THE PAST. 

3626
01:59:54,420 --> 01:59:55,855
HOWEVER, SOMETIMES THEY HADN'T 

3627
01:59:55,855 --> 01:59:57,390
BEEN FILLED. I KNEW THAT THERE 

3628
01:59:57,390 --> 01:59:59,759
WERE SOME CHALLENGES THERE. 

3629
01:59:59,759 --> 02:00:01,861
ACHIEVABLE TO OVERCOME 

3630
02:00:01,861 --> 02:00:02,428
CHALLENGES, BUT CHALLENGES 

3631
02:00:02,428 --> 02:00:03,029
NONETHELESS. SO I DO WANT TO 

3632
02:00:03,029 --> 02:00:04,230
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE RETAINING 

3633
02:00:04,230 --> 02:00:08,367
THREE COHORTS, IF NOT MORE 

3634
02:00:08,367 --> 02:00:14,574
LOOKING AT THE NEXT SLIDE. SLIDE

3635
02:00:14,574 --> 02:00:18,678
FOUR. THE L, THE L, TGO BOND 

3636
02:00:18,678 --> 02:00:21,113
ISSUANCE FOR THESE COMMUNITY 

3637
02:00:21,113 --> 02:00:23,015
CENTERS, DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY 

3638
02:00:23,015 --> 02:00:23,849
COMMITTEE THIS MORNING MET AND 

3639
02:00:23,849 --> 02:00:26,919
APPROVED THESE LTGO BOND 

3640
02:00:26,919 --> 02:00:28,020
ISSUANCES. AND SO THESE WILL 

3641
02:00:28,020 --> 02:00:32,158
COME TO COUNCIL AS PART OF OUR 

3642
02:00:32,158 --> 02:00:34,560
BUDGET PRACTICE, OUR BUDGET 

3643
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:37,196
PROCESS. I WILL SHARE OF THESE 

3644
02:00:37,196 --> 02:00:38,397
NOTABLE CHANGES I'VE HAD. I 

3645
02:00:38,397 --> 02:00:40,733
HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH HOW THE 

3646
02:00:40,733 --> 02:00:41,200
PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS 

3647
02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:43,102
COMMUNICATED SOME OF THESE 

3648
02:00:43,102 --> 02:00:45,037
CHANGES. I HAVE BEEN ASKED BY 

3649
02:00:45,037 --> 02:00:46,706
THE MAGNOLIA COMMUNITY ABOUT THE

3650
02:00:46,706 --> 02:00:48,574
DISCOVERY PARK COMMUNITY CENTER,

3651
02:00:48,574 --> 02:00:50,376
WHICH HAS BEEN CLOSED DUE TO A 

3652
02:00:50,376 --> 02:00:51,811
FLOOD THAT TOOK OUT ITS 

3653
02:00:51,811 --> 02:00:54,013
ELECTRICAL. THEY ASK PRETTY MUCH

3654
02:00:54,013 --> 02:00:55,615
EVERY MONTH, AND I TELL THEM 

3655
02:00:55,615 --> 02:00:57,116
EVERY MONTH THAT WHAT I'VE BEEN

3656
02:00:57,116 --> 02:00:58,317
TOLD BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, 

3657
02:00:58,317 --> 02:00:59,452
WHICH IS THAT WE WERE GOING TO 

3658
02:00:59,452 --> 02:01:01,554
GO THROUGH A FULL RENOVATION TO 

3659
02:01:01,554 --> 02:01:02,922
ADD SOLAR, TO ADD BATTERIES, ET 

3660
02:01:02,922 --> 02:01:08,261
CETERA. I THOUGHT THAT WAS MORE 

3661
02:01:08,261 --> 02:01:09,161
THAN MAYBE WHAT WE WE JUST 

3662
02:01:09,161 --> 02:01:11,564
NEEDED TO GET. AND I ONLY FOUND 

3663
02:01:11,564 --> 02:01:12,965
OUT THAT THERE WAS A CHANGE FROM

3664
02:01:12,965 --> 02:01:15,768
THAT INITIAL PLAN THROUGH THIS 

3665
02:01:15,768 --> 02:01:18,337
BUDGET. AND SO I NEED BETTER 

3666
02:01:18,337 --> 02:01:19,238
COMMUNICATION FROM THE 

3667
02:01:19,238 --> 02:01:21,407
DEPARTMENT. WHEN THESE TYPES OF 

3668
02:01:21,407 --> 02:01:22,942
CHANGES ARE BEING MADE. IF 

3669
02:01:22,942 --> 02:01:27,079
SOMETHING IS OUT OF BUDGET TO BE

3670
02:01:27,079 --> 02:01:29,382
MORE COMMUNICATIVE BECAUSE THE 

3671
02:01:29,382 --> 02:01:32,018
OUTCOME OF THIS IS AS AN ELECTED

3672
02:01:32,018 --> 02:01:33,019
COUNCILMEMBER FOR RESIDENTS OF 

3673
02:01:33,019 --> 02:01:33,919
THE CITY OF SEATTLE, THEY HAVE 

3674
02:01:33,919 --> 02:01:38,491
BEEN USING MY OFFICE FOR CONDUIT

3675
02:01:38,491 --> 02:01:39,125
FOR ACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT 

3676
02:01:39,125 --> 02:01:41,861
CITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS, AND 

3677
02:01:41,861 --> 02:01:43,396
WE COULD NOT PROVIDE ACCURATE 

3678
02:01:43,396 --> 02:01:45,164
INFORMATION BECAUSE THE PARKS 

3679
02:01:45,164 --> 02:01:45,798
DEPARTMENT DID NOT COMMUNICATE 

3680
02:01:45,798 --> 02:01:47,733
THIS INFORMATION ACCURATELY AND 

3681
02:01:47,733 --> 02:01:49,035
IN A TIMELY MANNER. I JUST USE 

3682
02:01:49,035 --> 02:01:51,137
THAT AS AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE IT'S

3683
02:01:51,137 --> 02:01:52,905
HAPPENED ACROSS THE BOARD. AND 

3684
02:01:52,905 --> 02:01:56,642
SO I RAISE IT AS WELL. WE NEED 

3685
02:01:56,642 --> 02:01:59,845
TO BE SETTING AND MEETING 

3686
02:01:59,845 --> 02:02:00,479
SEATTLE RESIDENTS EXPECTATIONS 

3687
02:02:00,479 --> 02:02:02,448
FOR WHAT THEY EXPECT TO RECEIVE 

3688
02:02:02,448 --> 02:02:06,852
AND WHAT WE PROMISE TO DELIVER. 

3689
02:02:06,852 --> 02:02:08,988
I'LL DIG INTO THIS. I BELIEVE 

3690
02:02:08,988 --> 02:02:12,324
IT IS ON WHERE. YEAH, SO IT IS 

3691
02:02:12,324 --> 02:02:14,894
BOTH. IT WAS ON THIS SLIDE AS 

3692
02:02:14,894 --> 02:02:16,929
WELL. I SEE USE OF ON OF ONE 

3693
02:02:16,929 --> 02:02:19,632
TIME PARK DISTRICT FUNDS FOR 

3694
02:02:19,632 --> 02:02:22,001
PRIORITY PROJECTS. AGAIN, THAT 

3695
02:02:22,001 --> 02:02:23,703
VISITOR CENTER THAT'S BEEN 

3696
02:02:23,703 --> 02:02:25,671
CLOSED ALMOST AS SOON AS IT WAS 

3697
02:02:25,671 --> 02:02:27,206
REOPENED AFTER IT WAS RENOVATED.

3698
02:02:27,206 --> 02:02:31,177
BUT I SEE WEST MAGNOLIA PLAY 

3699
02:02:31,177 --> 02:02:34,113
AREA AND RESTROOMS HERE. BUT 

3700
02:02:34,113 --> 02:02:38,117
THEN THE RATE REDUCTIONS IS THE 

3701
02:02:38,117 --> 02:02:40,319
WEST MAGNOLIA PLAY FIELD ACROSS 

3702
02:02:40,319 --> 02:02:44,256
THE SIX YEAR CIP AM I 

3703
02:02:44,256 --> 02:02:44,857
UNDERSTANDING THIS CORRECTLY 

3704
02:02:44,857 --> 02:02:47,359
THAT THE PLAY GROUND IS STILL 

3705
02:02:47,359 --> 02:02:50,763
SLATED TO BE BUILT ON SCHEDULE, 

3706
02:02:50,763 --> 02:02:52,198
BUT THAT THE BASEBALL FIELDS ARE

3707
02:02:52,198 --> 02:02:52,565
BEING DELAYED? 

3708
02:02:52,565 --> 02:02:54,066
-- CORRECT. THERE'S A 

3709
02:02:54,066 --> 02:02:56,368
DISTINCTION THERE IN THOSE 

3710
02:02:56,368 --> 02:02:58,871
PROJECTS. AND SO THE THE PLAY 

3711
02:02:58,871 --> 02:03:01,173
AREA WOULD RECEIVE FUNDING FROM 

3712
02:03:01,173 --> 02:03:03,476
THE PARK DISTRICT TO INCLUDE 

3713
02:03:03,476 --> 02:03:05,478
INCLUSIVE PLAY ELEMENTS. THE 

3714
02:03:05,478 --> 02:03:08,047
TURFING, THE ATHLETIC FIELD IS 

3715
02:03:08,047 --> 02:03:10,149
IS RIGHT NOW DOES NOT HAVE 

3716
02:03:10,149 --> 02:03:12,551
FUNDING. AND SPR HAS SHARED THAT

3717
02:03:12,551 --> 02:03:13,319
IT IS PRIORITIZED FOR CYCLE 

3718
02:03:13,319 --> 02:03:15,321
THREE OF THE PARK DISTRICT. 

3719
02:03:15,321 --> 02:03:17,890
-- AND SO THE PLAY FIELDS WILL 

3720
02:03:17,890 --> 02:03:19,358
BE DELAYED FROM THERE. I BELIEVE

3721
02:03:19,358 --> 02:03:20,826
THAT THEY WERE ON SCHEDULE FOR 

3722
02:03:20,826 --> 02:03:25,531
TO BE COMPLETED BY 2029 OR 2028.

3723
02:03:25,531 --> 02:03:26,732
THEY ARE BEING DELAYED TO A 

3724
02:03:26,732 --> 02:03:27,633
FUTURE DATE, UNKNOWN OR CERTAIN 

3725
02:03:27,633 --> 02:03:29,435
AT THIS TIME. 

3726
02:03:29,435 --> 02:03:30,836
-- UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME BECAUSE 

3727
02:03:30,836 --> 02:03:33,038
THERE'S NO MONEY IN THE CIP FOR

3728
02:03:33,038 --> 02:03:34,607
THE PROJECT. 

3729
02:03:34,607 --> 02:03:34,874
-- OKAY. 

3730
02:03:34,874 --> 02:03:37,743
-- AND HAS THE PARKS DEPARTMENT 

3731
02:03:37,743 --> 02:03:39,412
INCLUDED THE SKATE DOT IN THE IN

3732
02:03:39,412 --> 02:03:41,514
IN THE PLAY AREA, OR IS THIS 

3733
02:03:41,514 --> 02:03:42,448
STILL SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE 

3734
02:03:42,448 --> 02:03:44,450
REBUFFING COMMUNITY REGARDING? 

3735
02:03:44,450 --> 02:03:45,384
-- THAT'S SOMETHING I NEED TO 

3736
02:03:45,384 --> 02:03:45,718
FOLLOW UP ON. 

3737
02:03:45,718 --> 02:03:46,886
-- OKAY. WE NEED TO LOOK INTO 

3738
02:03:46,886 --> 02:03:48,754
THAT BECAUSE IF WE ARE PUTTING 

3739
02:03:48,754 --> 02:03:53,926
IN A NEW PLAY AREA THAT IT NEEDS

3740
02:03:53,926 --> 02:03:55,194
TO ALSO HAVE THAT SKATE DOT THAT

3741
02:03:55,194 --> 02:03:57,196
COMMUNITY HAS BEEN ASKING FOR. I

3742
02:03:57,196 --> 02:03:59,598
WILL ALSO JUST NOTE MY 

3743
02:03:59,598 --> 02:04:01,434
APPRECIATION FOR THE PARKS 

3744
02:04:01,434 --> 02:04:02,001
DEPARTMENT FOR INCLUDING AN 

3745
02:04:02,001 --> 02:04:04,470
ADDITIONAL INCLUSIVE PLAY AREA. 

3746
02:04:04,470 --> 02:04:07,706
I WONDER OUT LOUD IF MAGNOLIA IS

3747
02:04:07,706 --> 02:04:08,274
THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR IT, 

3748
02:04:08,274 --> 02:04:10,609
SEEING AS I BELIEVE WE ONLY HAVE

3749
02:04:10,609 --> 02:04:12,211
ONE OTHER AND IT IS IN DISTRICT 

3750
02:04:12,211 --> 02:04:14,246
FOUR NEAR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, 

3751
02:04:14,246 --> 02:04:15,381
IF THAT'S CORRECT. DO YOU KNOW 

3752
02:04:15,381 --> 02:04:17,750
IF WE HAVE OTHER INCLUSIVE PLAY 

3753
02:04:17,750 --> 02:04:18,484
AREAS IN THE CITY? 

3754
02:04:18,484 --> 02:04:22,121
-- WE HAVE. YEAH, THERE ARE, AND

3755
02:04:22,121 --> 02:04:23,456
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO REMEMBER ALL

3756
02:04:23,456 --> 02:04:24,890
OF THESE, BUT THEY WEREN'T 

3757
02:04:24,890 --> 02:04:26,592
HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS BUDGET. BUT 

3758
02:04:26,592 --> 02:04:29,094
THERE'S PATHWAYS PARK AND 

3759
02:04:29,094 --> 02:04:31,931
DISTRICT FOUR THAT IS A FULLY 

3760
02:04:31,931 --> 02:04:33,399
INCLUSIVE PLAY AREA. THERE ARE 

3761
02:04:33,399 --> 02:04:35,334
OTHERS AS WELL THAT ARE FULLY 

3762
02:04:35,334 --> 02:04:38,103
INCLUSIVE. THERE ARE OTHERS THAT

3763
02:04:38,103 --> 02:04:40,840
HAVE SINGULAR INCLUSIVE 

3764
02:04:40,840 --> 02:04:42,575
FEATURES. AND I CAN EASILY GET 

3765
02:04:42,575 --> 02:04:43,509
THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU IN A 

3766
02:04:43,509 --> 02:04:44,910
SNAP. 

3767
02:04:44,910 --> 02:04:47,012
-- THAT'S THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL.

3768
02:04:47,012 --> 02:04:48,681
AND THANK YOU FOR CHALLENGING MY

3769
02:04:48,681 --> 02:04:50,182
ASSUMPTION HERE BECAUSE IT IS 

3770
02:04:50,182 --> 02:04:51,550
IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE INCLUSIVE

3771
02:04:51,550 --> 02:04:53,319
PLAY. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH 

3772
02:04:53,319 --> 02:04:55,254
THE PARKS DEPARTMENT TO RESET 

3773
02:04:55,254 --> 02:04:55,855
THEIR UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL 

3774
02:04:55,855 --> 02:04:57,556
PLAYGROUNDS SHOULD BE INCLUSIVE 

3775
02:04:57,556 --> 02:05:01,760
PLAY AREAS, NOT JUST SOME. AND I

3776
02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:04,697
GUESS MY FIRST REACTION WAS 

3777
02:05:04,697 --> 02:05:05,531
AGAIN ABOUT COMMUNICATION. I 

3778
02:05:05,531 --> 02:05:07,533
HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM ABOUT 

3779
02:05:07,533 --> 02:05:08,868
INCLUSIVE PLAY UNTIL I SAW THIS 

3780
02:05:08,868 --> 02:05:10,502
IN THE BUDGET. THEY'RE ADDING 

3781
02:05:10,502 --> 02:05:13,539
IT HERE, BUT SLOWING DOWN THE 

3782
02:05:13,539 --> 02:05:14,907
PLAY FIELDS, NOT INCLUDING THE 

3783
02:05:14,907 --> 02:05:17,576
SKATE PARK. THIS COMES BACK TO 

3784
02:05:17,576 --> 02:05:19,445
COMMUNICATION, COORDINATION AND 

3785
02:05:19,445 --> 02:05:19,979
COOPERATION BECAUSE WE AS 

3786
02:05:19,979 --> 02:05:22,414
DISTRICT COUNCILMEMBERS ARE VERY

3787
02:05:22,414 --> 02:05:24,416
CLOSE TO OUR RESIDENTS AND WE'RE

3788
02:05:24,416 --> 02:05:27,586
NOT HERE TO BE AT ODDS WITH 

3789
02:05:27,586 --> 02:05:28,721
DEPARTMENTS. AND WHEN WE RECEIVE

3790
02:05:28,721 --> 02:05:30,956
INFORMATION THROUGH BUDGETS 

3791
02:05:30,956 --> 02:05:31,390
RATHER THAN THROUGH 

3792
02:05:31,390 --> 02:05:34,360
CONVERSATIONS, IT CREATES A 

3793
02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:36,662
UNNEEDED AND AVOIDABLE TENSION. 

3794
02:05:36,662 --> 02:05:38,030
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT 

3795
02:05:38,030 --> 02:05:39,698
INFORMATION. AT THIS TIME, I DO 

3796
02:05:39,698 --> 02:05:43,936
WANT TO STEP INTO THE MEGA BLOCK

3797
02:05:43,936 --> 02:05:44,937
COMMUNITY CENTER FUNDS. YOU HAD 

3798
02:05:44,937 --> 02:05:47,206
MENTIONED THE EIGHTH AND MERCER 

3799
02:05:47,206 --> 02:05:48,474
COMMUNITY CENTER. THAT FUNDING 

3800
02:05:48,474 --> 02:05:50,509
HAS BEEN PUT OUT INTO THE 

3801
02:05:50,509 --> 02:05:52,378
FUTURE. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING 

3802
02:05:52,378 --> 02:05:54,079
THAT THAT MONEY ORIGINATED FROM 

3803
02:05:54,079 --> 02:05:56,482
THE MEGA BLOCK SALE OF BROAD 

3804
02:05:56,482 --> 02:05:59,051
STREET AS A STREET VACATION. IF 

3805
02:05:59,051 --> 02:06:01,420
THAT WAS ONE TIME FUNDS THAT WE 

3806
02:06:01,420 --> 02:06:03,622
RECEIVED, DID WE SPEND THAT 

3807
02:06:03,622 --> 02:06:05,824
MONEY AND WE NOW NO LONGER HAVE 

3808
02:06:05,824 --> 02:06:08,360
THAT MONEY FOR THAT COMMUNITY 

3809
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:10,195
CENTER? OR AM I MISUNDERSTANDING

3810
02:06:10,195 --> 02:06:10,696
THE CURRENT SITUATION? 

3811
02:06:10,696 --> 02:06:11,564
-- THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN LOOK 

3812
02:06:11,564 --> 02:06:12,398
UP FOR YOU. 

3813
02:06:12,398 --> 02:06:13,532
-- FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. WANT TO

3814
02:06:13,532 --> 02:06:15,734
TOUCH IN ON GAS WORKS PARK THAT 

3815
02:06:15,734 --> 02:06:17,870
WORK THAT'S BEEN DELAYED, IS 

3816
02:06:17,870 --> 02:06:20,639
THAT NOT WORK THAT IS REQUIRED 

3817
02:06:20,639 --> 02:06:23,409
FOR US TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE 

3818
02:06:23,409 --> 02:06:25,177
WITH SDCI RED TAG? 

3819
02:06:25,177 --> 02:06:27,079
-- IT IS WORK THAT IS NECESSARY 

3820
02:06:27,079 --> 02:06:28,948
TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE. BUT 

3821
02:06:28,948 --> 02:06:30,883
RIGHT NOW THE SCHEDULE FOR THAT 

3822
02:06:30,883 --> 02:06:32,518
WORK WOULD BEGIN IN 2027 ANYWAY,

3823
02:06:32,518 --> 02:06:37,122
OR IN 2028 ANYWAY. SO IT WILL 

3824
02:06:37,122 --> 02:06:38,958
CONTINUE TO MOVE ALONG A 

3825
02:06:38,958 --> 02:06:41,827
SCHEDULE THAT CONTINUES TO BE 

3826
02:06:41,827 --> 02:06:43,062
UPDATED. SO THAT WON'T PUT THE 

3827
02:06:43,062 --> 02:06:44,296
CITY AT A DISADVANTAGE FOR 

3828
02:06:44,296 --> 02:06:46,465
GETTING THAT WORK DONE. IT WAS 

3829
02:06:46,465 --> 02:06:47,633
ALREADY HAPPENING AT A AT A 

3830
02:06:47,633 --> 02:06:48,767
SLOWER PACE THAN WAS ENVISIONED 

3831
02:06:48,767 --> 02:06:50,469
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. 

3832
02:06:50,469 --> 02:06:52,104
-- OKAY. PEOPLE HAVE DIED, SO I 

3833
02:06:52,104 --> 02:06:57,943
DON'T SEE HOW SLOWING DOWN ON 

3834
02:06:57,943 --> 02:06:59,078
MAKING PLACES SAFER WHEN THERE 

3835
02:06:59,078 --> 02:06:59,979
HAVE BEEN DEATHS THAT HAVE 

3836
02:06:59,979 --> 02:07:00,779
OCCURRED. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS 

3837
02:07:00,779 --> 02:07:03,215
IS A GOOD IDEA, BUT. WELL, WE'LL

3838
02:07:03,215 --> 02:07:04,149
DIG INTO THAT WITH YOU A LITTLE 

3839
02:07:04,149 --> 02:07:06,652
BIT MORE. I DO WANT TO. THE ONLY

3840
02:07:06,652 --> 02:07:07,886
STATEMENT THAT I HAVE TO MAKE 

3841
02:07:07,886 --> 02:07:08,988
ABOUT THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM, AND

3842
02:07:08,988 --> 02:07:11,757
I'LL DIG INTO THIS TRUCK DRIVER

3843
02:07:11,757 --> 02:07:13,125
POSITION, BECAUSE IT DOES SOUND 

3844
02:07:13,125 --> 02:07:16,161
AS IF WE ARE RETAINING THE 

3845
02:07:16,161 --> 02:07:18,063
POSITION. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE 

3846
02:07:18,063 --> 02:07:20,866
PARKS BUDGET, THAT POSITION IS 

3847
02:07:20,866 --> 02:07:22,167
BEING REPRIORITIZED OUT OF THE 

3848
02:07:22,167 --> 02:07:24,803
UNIFIED CARE TEAM AND BACK INTO 

3849
02:07:24,803 --> 02:07:27,539
GENERAL WORK. IS THAT CORRECT? 

3850
02:07:27,539 --> 02:07:28,841
-- BACK INTO NATURAL RESOURCES. 

3851
02:07:28,841 --> 02:07:31,677
-- YEAH. OKAY. SO THAT IS A 

3852
02:07:31,677 --> 02:07:33,045
DE-PRIORITIZATION DESPITE ALL OF

3853
02:07:33,045 --> 02:07:34,113
THE CONVERSATIONS OF HOW MANY 

3854
02:07:34,113 --> 02:07:35,547
STAFF, WHEN DID THEY GET 

3855
02:07:35,547 --> 02:07:37,616
POSITIONED? ALL OF THAT I WILL 

3856
02:07:37,616 --> 02:07:39,251
MY STATEMENT ABOUT UNIFIED CARE 

3857
02:07:39,251 --> 02:07:42,454
TEAM IS THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN 

3858
02:07:42,454 --> 02:07:45,457
THESE IN THIS LAST YEAR, SINCE 

3859
02:07:45,457 --> 02:07:47,526
LAST OCTOBER, A COMPLETE CHANGE 

3860
02:07:47,526 --> 02:07:49,194
IN HOW THE CITY IS, HOW 

3861
02:07:49,194 --> 02:07:51,563
EFFECTIVE THE CITY IS AT 

3862
02:07:51,563 --> 02:07:54,099
ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS. WE WERE

3863
02:07:54,099 --> 02:07:55,601
SEEING ENCAMPMENTS IN ONE PLACE 

3864
02:07:55,601 --> 02:07:57,903
FOR THREE WEEKS AT A TIME, AND 

3865
02:07:57,903 --> 02:07:59,405
NOW WE HAVE THEM IN THE SAME 

3866
02:07:59,405 --> 02:08:00,506
LOCATION FOR THREE MONTHS AT A 

3867
02:08:00,506 --> 02:08:05,778
TIME. I HAVE A BUSINESS IN 

3868
02:08:05,778 --> 02:08:07,112
DOWNTOWN BALLARD THAT HAD AN 

3869
02:08:07,112 --> 02:08:09,681
ENCAMPMENT IN FRONT OF THEIR 

3870
02:08:09,681 --> 02:08:11,283
BUSINESS LAST OCTOBER, AND WE 

3871
02:08:11,283 --> 02:08:12,017
STARTED WORKING WITH UNIFIED 

3872
02:08:12,017 --> 02:08:14,420
CARE TEAM TO COME UP WITH A 

3873
02:08:14,420 --> 02:08:17,956
SOLUTION, WASN'T MOVED UNTIL I 

3874
02:08:17,956 --> 02:08:19,458
BELIEVE, MARCH. AND THAT PERSON 

3875
02:08:19,458 --> 02:08:21,126
REPORTED TO ME THAT THEY HAVE 

3876
02:08:21,126 --> 02:08:24,029
HAD AN ENCAMPMENT ON ONE OF THE 

3877
02:08:24,029 --> 02:08:24,563
FOUR BLOCKS AROUND THEIR 

3878
02:08:24,563 --> 02:08:30,135
BUSINESS, AND IT'S A SMALL BLOCK

3879
02:08:30,135 --> 02:08:32,971
270 DAYS OUT OF THE LAST 365 

3880
02:08:32,971 --> 02:08:38,343
DAYS. AND SO WHEN WE ARE TALKING

3881
02:08:38,343 --> 02:08:41,380
ABOUT MOMENTUM OR ANYTHING ELSE 

3882
02:08:41,380 --> 02:08:43,115
LIKE THAT, JUST THE ABILITY TO 

3883
02:08:43,115 --> 02:08:45,951
INTERACT AND WORK WITH PEOPLE 

3884
02:08:45,951 --> 02:08:51,190
HAS CHANGED FROM A THREE WEEK 

3885
02:08:51,190 --> 02:08:52,991
CYCLE TO A THREE PLUS MONTH 

3886
02:08:52,991 --> 02:08:54,893
CYCLE. SO THAT'S MY STATEMENT. 

3887
02:08:54,893 --> 02:08:57,196
NO QUESTIONS FOR YOU THERE, 

3888
02:08:57,196 --> 02:08:59,531
COLLEAGUES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS 

3889
02:08:59,531 --> 02:09:00,399
I SEE COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA ONE 

3890
02:09:00,399 --> 02:09:02,167
LAST TIME. AND THEN I'M GOING TO

3891
02:09:02,167 --> 02:09:03,802
TURN DIRECTLY TO COUNCILMEMBER 

3892
02:09:03,802 --> 02:09:04,036
JUAREZ. 

3893
02:09:04,036 --> 02:09:07,706
-- THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU. 

3894
02:09:07,706 --> 02:09:09,141
JUST TO CONFIRM, THE GAS WORKS 

3895
02:09:09,141 --> 02:09:10,275
REMEDIATION THAT'S HERE IS NOT 

3896
02:09:10,275 --> 02:09:11,610
I DON'T THINK, WHAT YOU WERE 

3897
02:09:11,610 --> 02:09:13,812
THINKING OF. THEY DID REMEDIATE 

3898
02:09:13,812 --> 02:09:15,347
THE THE STRUCTURE, BUT THE 

3899
02:09:15,347 --> 02:09:17,149
REASON WHY THOSE DEATHS 

3900
02:09:17,149 --> 02:09:19,118
OCCURRED. OH FANTASTIC. THAT GOT

3901
02:09:19,118 --> 02:09:20,953
REMEDIATED. I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO

3902
02:09:20,953 --> 02:09:21,553
THINK OR THE PUBLIC WATCHING. 

3903
02:09:21,553 --> 02:09:23,355
MORE IMPORTANTLY, THAT DID GET 

3904
02:09:23,355 --> 02:09:23,989
ADDRESSED. THIS IS A DIFFERENT 

3905
02:09:23,989 --> 02:09:25,591
TYPE OF REMEDIATION. 

3906
02:09:25,591 --> 02:09:26,625
-- I ALWAYS APPRECIATE BEING 

3907
02:09:26,625 --> 02:09:28,393
WRONG AND CHECKING AND 

3908
02:09:28,393 --> 02:09:30,062
CHALLENGING MY ASSUMPTIONS. 

3909
02:09:30,062 --> 02:09:31,764
APPRECIATE THAT, VICE CHAIR. 

3910
02:09:31,764 --> 02:09:33,899
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, OVER TO 

3911
02:09:33,899 --> 02:09:34,099
YOU. 

3912
02:09:34,099 --> 02:09:35,067
-- THANK YOU. AND I WILL MAKE A 

3913
02:09:35,067 --> 02:09:36,635
JUST A QUICK STATEMENT BECAUSE I

3914
02:09:36,635 --> 02:09:37,369
KNOW WE. I DON'T WANT TO BEAT A

3915
02:09:37,369 --> 02:09:39,338
DEAD HORSE, BUT HEY, 

3916
02:09:39,338 --> 02:09:41,173
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, THANK YOU 

3917
02:09:41,173 --> 02:09:45,110
FOR BEING KIND AND RECOGNIZING 

3918
02:09:45,110 --> 02:09:45,711
MY HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE IN 

3919
02:09:45,711 --> 02:09:47,880
SOME OF THIS STUFF. I APPRECIATE

3920
02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:51,583
THAT, BUT I DO WANT TO PUT IN. I

3921
02:09:51,583 --> 02:09:53,452
THINK CONTEXT MATTERS OF HOW 

3922
02:09:53,452 --> 02:09:54,620
THERE WAS A TRANSITION IN A 

3923
02:09:54,620 --> 02:09:57,556
MARRIAGE BETWEEN SEATTLE PARKS 

3924
02:09:57,556 --> 02:10:03,462
AND REC. SPD SPU. HSD OFFICE OF 

3925
02:10:03,462 --> 02:10:04,663
HOUSING. AND QUITE FRANKLY, TO 

3926
02:10:04,663 --> 02:10:07,933
ME, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT 

3927
02:10:07,933 --> 02:10:09,268
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY IS IN THE 

3928
02:10:09,268 --> 02:10:10,636
EXECUTIVE BRANCH BECAUSE IT'S 

3929
02:10:10,636 --> 02:10:12,137
WHAT WE SEE ON THE GROUND THAT 

3930
02:10:12,137 --> 02:10:17,109
MATTERS. SO JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR

3931
02:10:17,109 --> 02:10:19,778
IN CONTEXT, ALL OF THIS STARTED 

3932
02:10:19,778 --> 02:10:22,014
IN 2020, AS YOU REMEMBER, MR. 

3933
02:10:22,014 --> 02:10:23,916
CHAIR, WITH THE CLEAN CITY 

3934
02:10:23,916 --> 02:10:28,554
INITIATIVE OUT OF PARKS IN 

3935
02:10:28,554 --> 02:10:30,989
RESPONSE TO CLEAN UP CRIME. AND 

3936
02:10:30,989 --> 02:10:34,259
THEN FROM THAT, IT GREW INTO THE

3937
02:10:34,259 --> 02:10:35,761
UNIFIED CARE TEAM. AND IT 

3938
02:10:35,761 --> 02:10:38,130
STARTED OUT AS A ONE TIME THING.

3939
02:10:38,130 --> 02:10:42,401
THEN IT EXPANDED AYE MUCH TO 

3940
02:10:42,401 --> 02:10:44,970
LABOR'S CHAGRIN, BECAUSE 

3941
02:10:44,970 --> 02:10:46,238
RIGHTFULLY SO. A LOT OF SEATTLE 

3942
02:10:46,238 --> 02:10:49,141
PARK AND RECREATION EMPLOYEES, 

3943
02:10:49,141 --> 02:10:50,609
RIGHTFULLY SO WITH THEIR LABOR 

3944
02:10:50,609 --> 02:10:51,877
REPRESENTATION, SAID THAT THEY 

3945
02:10:51,877 --> 02:10:54,780
WERE NOT HIRED OR QUALIFIED TO 

3946
02:10:54,780 --> 02:10:57,049
REMOVE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL AND DO

3947
02:10:57,049 --> 02:10:59,551
PUBLIC SAFETY. SO LONG STORY 

3948
02:10:59,551 --> 02:11:01,019
SHORT, WE HAD TO RECONFIGURE 

3949
02:11:01,019 --> 02:11:04,223
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND GET THE

3950
02:11:04,223 --> 02:11:05,824
RIGHT PEOPLE IN THERE AND THE 

3951
02:11:05,824 --> 02:11:06,892
RIGHT CITY DEPARTMENTS. AND SO 

3952
02:11:06,892 --> 02:11:09,461
THAT'S HOW YOU GOT THIS 

3953
02:11:09,461 --> 02:11:11,763
MARRIAGE OF THE UNIFIED CARE 

3954
02:11:11,763 --> 02:11:12,898
TEAM, WHICH MORPHED INTO THE OR,

3955
02:11:12,898 --> 02:11:14,466
I'M SORRY, THE CLEAN CITY 

3956
02:11:14,466 --> 02:11:15,968
INITIATIVE, WHICH MORPHED INTO 

3957
02:11:15,968 --> 02:11:17,603
THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM, WHICH 

3958
02:11:17,603 --> 02:11:20,472
MORPHED INTO PUBLIC SAFETY 

3959
02:11:20,472 --> 02:11:23,976
SOCIAL SERVICES YOU KNOW, THE 

3960
02:11:23,976 --> 02:11:26,979
LEAD PROGRAM COLEAD, ALL THAT 

3961
02:11:26,979 --> 02:11:29,081
CAME FROM THAT. SO IT DOESN'T 

3962
02:11:29,081 --> 02:11:30,816
MATTER IF IT WAS TWO, TWO 

3963
02:11:30,816 --> 02:11:31,884
POSITIONS HERE. IS IT 

3964
02:11:31,884 --> 02:11:32,851
ADMINISTRATIVE? IS IT ON THE 

3965
02:11:32,851 --> 02:11:34,786
GROUND? WHO IS MAYOR AT THE 

3966
02:11:34,786 --> 02:11:38,390
TIME? WHAT MATTERS IS THE PARKS 

3967
02:11:38,390 --> 02:11:39,958
IN THE CLEANUP PIECE FOR PARKS, 

3968
02:11:39,958 --> 02:11:41,460
IN THE BUDGET, WE HAD TO PAY 

3969
02:11:41,460 --> 02:11:43,028
PEOPLE MORE AND GET MORE 

3970
02:11:43,028 --> 02:11:44,096
QUALIFIED PEOPLE IN THERE 

3971
02:11:44,096 --> 02:11:45,597
BECAUSE OF PUBLIC SAFETY, WHERE 

3972
02:11:45,597 --> 02:11:50,369
PEOPLE WERE EITHER DYING OR 

3973
02:11:50,369 --> 02:11:51,737
BEING KILLED OR LIVING AND DYING

3974
02:11:51,737 --> 02:11:53,138
IN PARKS. AND SO THAT'S WHERE 

3975
02:11:53,138 --> 02:11:54,039
THAT CAME FROM. AND I THINK 

3976
02:11:54,039 --> 02:11:56,408
CONTEXT IS IMPORTANT. I'M NOT 

3977
02:11:56,408 --> 02:12:01,113
TRYING TO POLITICIZE THIS. SO MY

3978
02:12:01,113 --> 02:12:02,314
CONCERN, AND I DON'T KNOW IF 

3979
02:12:02,314 --> 02:12:05,517
THIS IS ACTUALLY IF I MISS THIS,

3980
02:12:05,517 --> 02:12:08,153
PLEASE SOMEBODY CORRECT ME IS 

3981
02:12:08,153 --> 02:12:10,188
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA SAID, WE ARE 

3982
02:12:10,188 --> 02:12:10,822
GOING TO RELOOK AT UNIFIED CARE 

3983
02:12:10,822 --> 02:12:11,490
TEAM, AND I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO

3984
02:12:11,490 --> 02:12:13,392
TALK ABOUT IT THURSDAY. BUT IN 

3985
02:12:13,392 --> 02:12:15,160
RELATIONSHIP TO PARKS, IF WE'RE

3986
02:12:15,160 --> 02:12:17,663
GOING TO PUT DOWN 1.4 MILLION 

3987
02:12:17,663 --> 02:12:21,300
FOR TEN THRONE LAB TOILETS, I'M

3988
02:12:21,300 --> 02:12:21,967
GOING TO BE CONCERNED HOW WE'RE

3989
02:12:21,967 --> 02:12:24,136
GOING TO USE MONEY TO TAKE CARE 

3990
02:12:24,136 --> 02:12:26,038
OF THE PARKS, TOILETS AND SAFETY

3991
02:12:26,038 --> 02:12:30,709
THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. AND. 

3992
02:12:30,709 --> 02:12:36,548
I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT I'M

3993
02:12:36,548 --> 02:12:37,215
JUST GOING TO ADD ON THIS NOTE. 

3994
02:12:37,215 --> 02:12:42,721
AND, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK IT'S

3995
02:12:42,721 --> 02:12:46,692
IMPORTANT TO SAY AND IT DOESN'T,

3996
02:12:46,692 --> 02:12:47,893
YOU KNOW, KIND OF KIND OF 

3997
02:12:47,893 --> 02:12:48,994
QUOTING WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE 

3998
02:12:48,994 --> 02:12:52,965
MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO. IT'S 

3999
02:12:52,965 --> 02:12:53,598
NOT PROGRESSIVE TO HAVE PEOPLE 

4000
02:12:53,598 --> 02:12:55,267
DIE ON THE STREETS AND IN OUR 

4001
02:12:55,267 --> 02:12:58,570
PARKS AND GET SHOT IN OUR PARKS.

4002
02:12:58,570 --> 02:13:00,772
IT IS NOT PROGRESSIVE FOR OVER 

4003
02:13:00,772 --> 02:13:02,107
800 PEOPLE TO OVERDOSE ON 

4004
02:13:02,107 --> 02:13:03,642
FENTANYL IN OUR STREETS. IT'S 

4005
02:13:03,642 --> 02:13:06,578
NOT PROGRESSIVE FOR PEOPLE TO 

4006
02:13:06,578 --> 02:13:07,546
THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE TO WALK 

4007
02:13:07,546 --> 02:13:09,915
THROUGH OPEN AIR DRUG MARKETS, 

4008
02:13:09,915 --> 02:13:12,751
PEOPLE LIVING AND DYING IN OUR 

4009
02:13:12,751 --> 02:13:15,587
PARKS IN VIOLENT WAYS, AND ALSO 

4010
02:13:15,587 --> 02:13:16,722
BY NATURAL CAUSES AND DRUG 

4011
02:13:16,722 --> 02:13:18,890
ADDICTION AND OTHER ISSUES, IS 

4012
02:13:18,890 --> 02:13:20,392
INHUMANE. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE 

4013
02:13:20,392 --> 02:13:22,294
HAVE THIS DISCUSSION OF HOW ALL 

4014
02:13:22,294 --> 02:13:24,363
THIS PUBLIC SAFETY PIECE LANDED 

4015
02:13:24,363 --> 02:13:26,531
IN PARKS AND THEN PARKS TRYING 

4016
02:13:26,531 --> 02:13:28,133
TO ADJUST. AND IF YOU REMEMBER, 

4017
02:13:28,133 --> 02:13:31,803
MR. CHAIR BACK IN THE DAY WHEN I

4018
02:13:31,803 --> 02:13:32,637
WAS REPORTING, AND THEN I LEFT 

4019
02:13:32,637 --> 02:13:34,072
PARKS AND I THINK COUNCILMEMBER,

4020
02:13:34,072 --> 02:13:37,009
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO LOUIS TOOK

4021
02:13:37,009 --> 02:13:38,677
OVER PARKS, BUT WE USED TO HAVE 

4022
02:13:38,677 --> 02:13:41,046
WEEKLY CHECK INS. HOW MUCH? TONS

4023
02:13:41,046 --> 02:13:44,249
OF GARBAGE AND NEEDLES AND DRUG 

4024
02:13:44,249 --> 02:13:46,985
PARAPHERNALIA WAS PICKED UP BY 

4025
02:13:46,985 --> 02:13:47,552
PARKS BECAUSE WE WANTED THE 

4026
02:13:47,552 --> 02:13:48,286
PUBLIC TO KNOW WHERE THEIR TAX 

4027
02:13:48,286 --> 02:13:50,956
DOLLARS WERE GOING TO KEEP PARKS

4028
02:13:50,956 --> 02:13:52,524
CLEAN, BECAUSE THOSE OF US AND 

4029
02:13:52,524 --> 02:13:53,325
THIS IS NOTHING AGAINST PEOPLE 

4030
02:13:53,325 --> 02:13:54,493
WHO ARE ELECTED CITYWIDE. I'M 

4031
02:13:54,493 --> 02:13:56,661
NOT TRYING TO THROW SHADE. I'M 

4032
02:13:56,661 --> 02:13:58,463
JUST SAYING THAT THOSE OF US 

4033
02:13:58,463 --> 02:14:00,098
THAT HAVE A DISTRICT WHERE WE 

4034
02:14:00,098 --> 02:14:01,166
LIVE AND WE SEE THESE FOLKS AND 

4035
02:14:01,166 --> 02:14:03,101
THOSE ARE THE CALLS WE GET AND 

4036
02:14:03,101 --> 02:14:07,739
WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING TO

4037
02:14:07,739 --> 02:14:09,408
KEEP PARKS SAFE AND CLEAN. THE 

4038
02:14:09,408 --> 02:14:11,476
TOILETS, THE PLAYGROUNDS. I KNOW

4039
02:14:11,476 --> 02:14:13,412
FOR A FACT, WELL, YOU PROBABLY 

4040
02:14:13,412 --> 02:14:15,781
ALL HAVE THESE STORIES IN D5 

4041
02:14:15,781 --> 02:14:18,917
ALONE. I CAN TELL YOU AT LEAST A

4042
02:14:18,917 --> 02:14:21,520
HALF A DOZEN DOZEN MURDERS. 

4043
02:14:21,520 --> 02:14:22,621
SHOOTINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE DIED 

4044
02:14:22,621 --> 02:14:24,022
IN OUR PARKS BECAUSE THERE WERE 

4045
02:14:24,022 --> 02:14:25,357
TENTS AND WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE 

4046
02:14:25,357 --> 02:14:26,491
THE PEOPLE IN THE UNIFIED CARE 

4047
02:14:26,491 --> 02:14:27,692
TEAM TO GET OUT THERE AND GET 

4048
02:14:27,692 --> 02:14:28,894
THEM SERVICES AND CONNECT THEM 

4049
02:14:28,894 --> 02:14:30,095
WHERE THEY NEEDED TO BE. THAT'S

4050
02:14:30,095 --> 02:14:31,897
WHY YOU'RE HEARING THE 

4051
02:14:31,897 --> 02:14:33,932
PASSIONATE. NOBODY'S PICKING ON

4052
02:14:33,932 --> 02:14:35,734
ANY PARTICULAR MAYOR OR WHY NO 

4053
02:14:35,734 --> 02:14:37,869
SLOT GOT FILLED. WE'RE SAYING 

4054
02:14:37,869 --> 02:14:39,171
THAT ON THE GROUND IN THE PARKS 

4055
02:14:39,171 --> 02:14:41,006
BUDGET, THAT THIS IS REALLY 

4056
02:14:41,006 --> 02:14:43,008
IMPORTANT. AND I AM REALLY 

4057
02:14:43,008 --> 02:14:45,210
EXCITED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO A

4058
02:14:45,210 --> 02:14:48,146
ROBUST CONVERSATION THURSDAY 

4059
02:14:48,146 --> 02:14:51,283
ABOUT HOW PARKS WORKS WITH HSD, 

4060
02:14:51,283 --> 02:14:54,786
TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE CONTINUE TO

4061
02:14:54,786 --> 02:14:57,055
ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. WE DON'T 

4062
02:14:57,055 --> 02:14:59,091
OPERATE IN SILOS AND LIKE I 

4063
02:14:59,091 --> 02:15:02,327
SAID, PARKS WAS NOT PREPARED IN 

4064
02:15:02,327 --> 02:15:03,795
2019, 2020 TO TAKE ON SOME OF 

4065
02:15:03,795 --> 02:15:05,030
THIS WORK. THAT'S WHY IT WAS 

4066
02:15:05,030 --> 02:15:07,833
WONDERFUL THAT HSD AND SPU AND 

4067
02:15:07,833 --> 02:15:09,234
OFFICE OF HOUSING ALL STEPPED 

4068
02:15:09,234 --> 02:15:11,603
IN, INCLUDING THE COUNTY, AND 

4069
02:15:11,603 --> 02:15:13,972
THEN SPD. SO NOBODY'S TRYING TO

4070
02:15:13,972 --> 02:15:15,407
CRIMINALIZE THE HOMELESS. PEOPLE

4071
02:15:15,407 --> 02:15:17,809
WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE SERVICES. 

4072
02:15:17,809 --> 02:15:19,144
NOBODY WANTS TO HAVE PEOPLE 

4073
02:15:19,144 --> 02:15:20,946
LIVE. IT'S INHUMANE TO LIVE IN 

4074
02:15:20,946 --> 02:15:22,447
A PARK. AND THAT THAT'S MY POINT

4075
02:15:22,447 --> 02:15:24,483
OF BEING CHAIR OF PARKS ONE TIME

4076
02:15:24,483 --> 02:15:25,817
FOR EIGHT YEARS OR SIX YEARS. 

4077
02:15:25,817 --> 02:15:29,321
AND THEN AGAIN. SO THAT IS MY 

4078
02:15:29,321 --> 02:15:31,490
PASSION HERE. BESIDES THE ACTUAL

4079
02:15:31,490 --> 02:15:33,291
OPERATING BUDGET, WHICH LOOKS 

4080
02:15:33,291 --> 02:15:34,359
GOOD, THE CAPITAL BUDGET, ALL 

4081
02:15:34,359 --> 02:15:36,761
THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING 

4082
02:15:36,761 --> 02:15:38,263
ONLINE, THE NEW COMMUNITY 

4083
02:15:38,263 --> 02:15:39,731
CENTERS THAT ARE COMING ONLINE. 

4084
02:15:39,731 --> 02:15:43,201
SO THAT'S MY JOB. I'M NOT 

4085
02:15:43,201 --> 02:15:45,804
TRYING TO POLITICIZE OR GO AFTER

4086
02:15:45,804 --> 02:15:46,505
ANY PARTICULAR MAYOR, THOUGH I 

4087
02:15:46,505 --> 02:15:47,873
DO HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES, AND 

4088
02:15:47,873 --> 02:15:49,941
THAT'S FAIR TO SAY. BUT IT'S 

4089
02:15:49,941 --> 02:15:52,177
ABOUT THE POLICIES, NOT THE 

4090
02:15:52,177 --> 02:15:54,145
PERSON. AND WE HAVE TO REMIND 

4091
02:15:54,145 --> 02:15:56,481
SOMETIMES EVEN OURSELVES, WE ARE

4092
02:15:56,481 --> 02:15:59,718
THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, 

4093
02:15:59,718 --> 02:16:01,052
CO-EQUAL WITH CHECKS AND 

4094
02:16:01,052 --> 02:16:02,721
BALANCES. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS 

4095
02:16:02,721 --> 02:16:05,524
IS ABOUT. SO THANK YOU 

4096
02:16:05,524 --> 02:16:06,091
-- THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

4097
02:16:06,091 --> 02:16:08,026

HAPPY FALL SEASON. IT'S ONE OF

02:17:02,948 --> 02:17:04,316
MY FAVORITE TIMES OF YEAR. NOT. 

4130
02:17:04,316 --> 02:17:06,484

4132
02:17:07,118 --> 02:17:08,653

4133
02:17:08,653 --> 02:17:09,721
LITTLE MOMENT OF HUMANITY THERE.

4134
02:17:09,721 --> 02:17:11,489

4135
02:17:11,489 --> 02:17:12,991

TODAY. THERE WAS A PRESENTATION 

4139
02:17:16,428 --> 02:17:19,030
FROM THE DEPARTMENT HERE AT THE 

4140
02:17:19,030 --> 02:17:20,599
BUDGET COMMITTEE, I GUESS TWO 

4141
02:17:20,599 --> 02:17:21,633
WEEKS AGO. IT'S PRETTY 

4142
02:17:21,633 --> 02:17:23,068
COMPREHENSIVE. SO I'LL HIT SOME

4143
02:17:23,068 --> 02:17:24,769
HIGH POINTS TO SORT OF FRAME 

4144
02:17:24,769 --> 02:17:26,338

THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE AS

02:17:30,875 --> 02:17:34,980
THE CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE JUST

4149
02:17:34,980 --> 02:17:42,887
MENTIONED. I, I APOLOGIZE, I 

4150
02:17:42,887 --> 02:17:44,389
MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD, I THOUGHT

4151
02:17:44,389 --> 02:17:44,956
THAT COUNCILMEMBER SAKA YOU 

4152
02:17:44,956 --> 02:17:46,358

4153
02:17:46,358 --> 02:17:47,626

4154
02:17:47,626 --> 02:17:50,061
-- YOU WOULD GO FIRST. OKAY. 

4155
02:17:50,061 --> 02:17:51,196
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR

4156
02:17:51,196 --> 02:17:51,463
CHECKING. 

4157
02:17:51,463 --> 02:17:52,497
-- TO FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE. 

4158
02:17:52,497 --> 02:17:53,798
-- WE'LL HAVE YOU DO YOUR PIECE

4159
02:17:53,798 --> 02:17:56,468
AND THEN WE'LL GO AND THEN HAND

4160
02:17:56,468 --> 02:17:57,869

4162
02:17:58,536 --> 02:18:00,472
GO AHEAD. 

4163
02:18:00,472 --> 02:18:01,239
-- SO AS I SAID, I'LL JUST SORT

4164
02:18:01,239 --> 02:18:03,942
OF FRAME THINGS UP IN GENERAL. 

4165
02:18:03,942 --> 02:18:05,910
SO HERE'S THE BUDGET SUMMARY. 

4166
02:18:05,910 --> 02:18:06,978
YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE FOR THE

4167
02:18:06,978 --> 02:18:07,579
FOLKS THAT ARE WATCHING FROM 

4168
02:18:07,579 --> 02:18:10,882
HOME, JUST JUMPING IN BSL IS A 

4169
02:18:10,882 --> 02:18:11,850
BUDGET SUMMARY LEVEL, AND WE 

4170
02:18:11,850 --> 02:18:13,585
HAVE THEM DIVIDED HERE BY THE 

4171
02:18:13,585 --> 02:18:16,321
OPERATING AND THE CAPITAL 

4172
02:18:16,321 --> 02:18:16,955
APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE SEATTLE 

4173
02:18:16,955 --> 02:18:18,290
CENTER. OVERALL, MOVING THROUGH 

4174
02:18:18,290 --> 02:18:21,626
THE YEARS FROM 26 TO 20 7 TO 28 

4175
02:18:21,626 --> 02:18:23,495
FOR THE OPERATING SIDE OF 

4176
02:18:23,495 --> 02:18:24,896
THINGS, THINGS GENERALLY SORT OF

4177
02:18:24,896 --> 02:18:27,065
SORT OF HOLD FAST WITHIN THE 

4178
02:18:27,065 --> 02:18:28,199
OPERATING BUDGET. OF COURSE, 

4179
02:18:28,199 --> 02:18:28,967
THERE ARE CHANGES AND WE CAN 

4180
02:18:28,967 --> 02:18:30,602
TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS 

4181
02:18:30,602 --> 02:18:31,936
AS WE GO. WE GO ALONG. THE 

4182
02:18:31,936 --> 02:18:35,740
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES, THOUGH, TO 

4183
02:18:35,740 --> 02:18:37,442
THE TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS OVERALL

4184
02:18:37,442 --> 02:18:40,845
FOR THE SEATTLE CENTER HAPPENED 

4185
02:18:40,845 --> 02:18:41,313
MOSTLY IN THE CAPITAL 

4186
02:18:41,313 --> 02:18:42,180
APPROPRIATIONS. THE LARGEST 

4187
02:18:42,180 --> 02:18:48,353
CHANGE IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT 

4188
02:18:48,353 --> 02:18:48,920
THE MOORE MEMORIAL STADIUM 

4189
02:18:48,920 --> 02:18:49,554
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT HAS MONEY 

4190
02:18:49,554 --> 02:18:52,357
PROGRAMED IN 26 AND 27, AND THEN

4191
02:18:52,357 --> 02:18:54,459
THAT PROJECT WILL WRAP UP. AND 

4192
02:18:54,459 --> 02:18:56,594
SO CAPITAL BUDGETS CAN FLUCTUATE

4193
02:18:56,594 --> 02:18:57,328
THROUGH TIME AS A RESULT, NOT 

4194
02:18:57,328 --> 02:18:58,830
NECESSARILY OF POLICY CHANGES, 

4195
02:18:58,830 --> 02:18:59,564
BUT JUST AS A RESULT OF THE 

4196
02:18:59,564 --> 02:19:02,734
TIMING OF PROJECTS. SO THAT BIG 

4197
02:19:02,734 --> 02:19:04,936
DROP THAT YOU SEE SHOWN ON THIS 

4198
02:19:04,936 --> 02:19:06,337
CHART FROM 26 TO 27 IN THE 

4199
02:19:06,337 --> 02:19:07,839
CAPITAL SUBTOTAL, IS LARGELY 

4200
02:19:07,839 --> 02:19:09,107
MADE UP OF JUST THE TIMING OF 

4201
02:19:09,107 --> 02:19:10,842
SPENDING ON THE MEMORIAL STADIUM

4202
02:19:10,842 --> 02:19:14,479
PROJECT. THERE'S ANOTHER DROP 

4203
02:19:14,479 --> 02:19:15,580
FROM 27 TO 28, AND THAT HAS TO 

4204
02:19:15,580 --> 02:19:17,916
DO MOSTLY WITH SPENDING IN 27 

4205
02:19:17,916 --> 02:19:19,584
THAT IS PLANNED IN THIS PROPOSED

4206
02:19:19,584 --> 02:19:21,686
BUDGET THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN

4207
02:19:21,686 --> 02:19:24,456
A MINUTE TO SUPPORT THE CAMPUS 

4208
02:19:24,456 --> 02:19:25,090
REVITALIZATION PROGRAM. AND THAT

4209
02:19:25,090 --> 02:19:29,761
WOULD BE MONEY. LOOKING MOSTLY 

4210
02:19:29,761 --> 02:19:31,796
AT PLANNING IN ADVANCE OF A 

4211
02:19:31,796 --> 02:19:32,964
POTENTIAL BOND MEASURE TO 

4212
02:19:32,964 --> 02:19:36,267
SUPPORT LONG TERM CAPITAL 

4213
02:19:36,267 --> 02:19:36,835
IMPROVEMENTS AT THE SEATTLE 

4214
02:19:36,835 --> 02:19:40,772
CENTER AND HERE, JUST REFLECTING

4215
02:19:40,772 --> 02:19:42,307
THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT JUST 

4216
02:19:42,307 --> 02:19:43,108
A MOMENT BEFORE ARE SOME, SOME 

4217
02:19:43,108 --> 02:19:44,642
SOME SUMMING UP AND READING 

4218
02:19:44,642 --> 02:19:47,312
ACROSS THAT BOTTOM LINE OF TOTAL

4219
02:19:47,312 --> 02:19:49,881
REVENUES. THOSE NUMBERS HAVE A 

4220
02:19:49,881 --> 02:19:53,218
CHANGE OF 14.4% FROM 2627 AND 5%

4221
02:19:53,218 --> 02:19:56,087
FROM 27 TO 28 ARE JUST 

4222
02:19:56,087 --> 02:19:57,355
INDICATORS OF THE THE THINGS WE 

4223
02:19:57,355 --> 02:20:00,892
JUST DISCUSSED SO THE FIRST 

4224
02:20:00,892 --> 02:20:01,760
POLICY CONSIDERATION I'D LIKE 

4225
02:20:01,760 --> 02:20:04,396
TO QUEUE UP FOR YOU ALL IS THE 

4226
02:20:04,396 --> 02:20:06,731
SEATTLE CENTER CAMPUS 

4227
02:20:06,731 --> 02:20:07,298
REVITALIZATION PROGRAM, THE 

4228
02:20:07,298 --> 02:20:07,899
INTERFUND LOAN, AND THE BOND 

4229
02:20:07,899 --> 02:20:10,301
MEASURE THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH 

4230
02:20:10,301 --> 02:20:12,170
THAT. THE MAYOR'S BUDGET WOULD 

4231
02:20:12,170 --> 02:20:17,342
PROPOSE THAT IN 20 2027, THROUGH

4232
02:20:17,342 --> 02:20:19,277
A U. TAUTGO AN UNLIMITED TAX 

4233
02:20:19,277 --> 02:20:21,413
GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND GEO 

4234
02:20:21,413 --> 02:20:25,316
GENERAL FUND BOND. EXCUSE ME. A 

4235
02:20:25,316 --> 02:20:27,485
LOAN WOULD BE AUTHORIZED. SO 

4236
02:20:27,485 --> 02:20:28,753
THAT'S A SEPARATE PIECE OF 

4237
02:20:28,753 --> 02:20:29,320
LEGISLATION THAT WOULD COME 

4238
02:20:29,320 --> 02:20:31,289
ALONG WITH THIS BUDGET. CHAIR 

4239
02:20:31,289 --> 02:20:33,024
STRAUSS JUST INDICATED THAT THAT

4240
02:20:33,024 --> 02:20:34,392
THE THE THE DEBT MANAGEMENT 

4241
02:20:34,392 --> 02:20:36,060
COMMITTEE THAT WAS DISCUSSED 

4242
02:20:36,060 --> 02:20:37,262
TODAY. SO PART OF YOUR DECISION 

4243
02:20:37,262 --> 02:20:38,963
MAKING FOR THIS BUDGET AND ALONG

4244
02:20:38,963 --> 02:20:40,432
WITH THE BUDGET ITSELF, WOULD BE

4245
02:20:40,432 --> 02:20:43,401
THE APPROVAL OF THAT LOAN 

4246
02:20:43,401 --> 02:20:45,537
AUTHORIZATION. THAT WOULD BE FOR

4247
02:20:45,537 --> 02:20:47,839
$3.2 MILLION FOR SPENDING IN 

4248
02:20:47,839 --> 02:20:50,241
2027, ABOUT 3.1 OF THAT IS 

4249
02:20:50,241 --> 02:20:51,976
SPENDING ON STAFFING AND 

4250
02:20:51,976 --> 02:20:53,077
PROJECT, AND THE REMAINDER TO 

4251
02:20:53,077 --> 02:20:54,612
TAKE CARE OF THE INTEREST ON 

4252
02:20:54,612 --> 02:20:58,016
THAT LOAN. AND THE IDEA BEHIND 

4253
02:20:58,016 --> 02:20:59,450
THAT IS THAT THAT'S THE SORT OF

4254
02:20:59,450 --> 02:21:00,752
MONEY IN TO GET THE MONEY OUT, 

4255
02:21:00,752 --> 02:21:02,086
THE SORT OF LIKE THE SORT OF 

4256
02:21:02,086 --> 02:21:05,924
LIKE THE CITY STAKE IN DOING 

4257
02:21:05,924 --> 02:21:07,892
PROJECT PLANNING. THIS BUDGET 

4258
02:21:07,892 --> 02:21:10,395
PROPOSES FOR NEW POSITIONS. 

4259
02:21:10,395 --> 02:21:11,029
THREE OF THOSE TEMPORARY AS WELL

4260
02:21:11,029 --> 02:21:12,363
AS PART OF AN EXISTING POSITION 

4261
02:21:12,363 --> 02:21:16,067
TO SUPPORT THAT PLANNING AS WELL

4262
02:21:16,067 --> 02:21:18,903
AS ACTUAL SPENDING ON PROJECT 

4263
02:21:18,903 --> 02:21:20,271
STUDIES AND THE LIKE, TO GET 

4264
02:21:20,271 --> 02:21:23,341
READY TO MAKE A BOND PROPOSAL TO

4265
02:21:23,341 --> 02:21:28,646
TO THE TO THE VOTERS. THIS IS 

4266
02:21:28,646 --> 02:21:30,248
FLOWING FROM THE RESOLUTION THAT

4267
02:21:30,248 --> 02:21:31,082
YOU ALL PASSED THIS YEAR. THAT 

4268
02:21:31,082 --> 02:21:35,787
WAS THREE, 2205 THAT CALLED FOR 

4269
02:21:35,787 --> 02:21:36,788
THIS WORK AT THE CAPITAL, AT THE

4270
02:21:36,788 --> 02:21:38,690
SEATTLE CENTER, AND THE BOND 

4271
02:21:38,690 --> 02:21:41,392
MEASURE. SO PART OF QUEUING UP 

4272
02:21:41,392 --> 02:21:43,828
THIS ISSUE HERE IS JUST TO 

4273
02:21:43,828 --> 02:21:44,362
REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THE 

4274
02:21:44,362 --> 02:21:45,797
SEATTLE CENTER NOW HAS TWO 

4275
02:21:45,797 --> 02:21:47,498
INTERFUND LOANS. ONE FLOWS FROM 

4276
02:21:47,498 --> 02:21:50,034
THE WORK OF THE KEY ARENA, 

4277
02:21:50,034 --> 02:21:50,668
BECOMING THE THE ARENA THAT WE 

4278
02:21:50,668 --> 02:21:53,271
HAVE NOW. AND THEN ADDED TO THAT

4279
02:21:53,271 --> 02:21:54,639
WAS MONEY. BECAUSE RIGHT ON THE 

4280
02:21:54,639 --> 02:21:57,509
HEELS OF THAT WORK WAS THE COVID

4281
02:21:57,509 --> 02:22:01,613
CRISIS. SO THAT INTERFUND LOAN 

4282
02:22:01,613 --> 02:22:02,914
NOW IS AT $16.5 MILLION OF TOTAL

4283
02:22:02,914 --> 02:22:03,915
BORROWING. I WILL POINT OUT THAT

4284
02:22:03,915 --> 02:22:06,951
I HAVE A TYPO IN THE SLIDE. IT 

4285
02:22:06,951 --> 02:22:08,052
SAYS ON THE SLIDE 15.5. MY 

4286
02:22:08,052 --> 02:22:11,155
APOLOGIES. THERE. JUST SOMETHING

4287
02:22:11,155 --> 02:22:13,825
THAT MISSED IN MY EDITING OF IT.

4288
02:22:13,825 --> 02:22:17,862
THE SEATTLE CENTER IS DOES HAVE 

4289
02:22:17,862 --> 02:22:18,463
REPAYMENTS REPAYMENT SCHEDULE 

4290
02:22:18,463 --> 02:22:19,097
THAT THEY TRY TO KEEP UP WITH. 

4291
02:22:19,097 --> 02:22:22,433
THEY ARE BEHIND ON THAT. THE 

4292
02:22:22,433 --> 02:22:24,736
PROPOSED BUDGET IN 27 WOULD ADD 

4293
02:22:24,736 --> 02:22:27,238
TWO $2 MILLION OF GENERAL FUND 

4294
02:22:27,238 --> 02:22:28,673
AND 28 $1 MILLION OF GENERAL 

4295
02:22:28,673 --> 02:22:29,908
FUND TO HELP THE SEATTLE CENTER 

4296
02:22:29,908 --> 02:22:31,209
CATCH UP ON THOSE REPAYMENTS. SO

4297
02:22:31,209 --> 02:22:33,211
THAT'S JUST A CONTEXTUAL PIECE.

4298
02:22:33,211 --> 02:22:35,079
THE OTHER INTERFUND LOAN IS THE 

4299
02:22:35,079 --> 02:22:38,716
INTERFUND LOAN OF $40 MILLION. 

4300
02:22:38,716 --> 02:22:41,419
THAT LOAN IS PLANNED TO BE PAID 

4301
02:22:41,419 --> 02:22:43,421
OFF WITH THE PROPOSED 2027LGO 

4302
02:22:43,421 --> 02:22:45,423
BOND OFFERING A PART OF THE 

4303
02:22:45,423 --> 02:22:47,792
PROCEEDS FROM THAT IN 27 WOULD 

4304
02:22:47,792 --> 02:22:49,527
PAY OFF THE MEMORIAL STADIUM 

4305
02:22:49,527 --> 02:22:53,731
LOAN. SO IN TOTAL, THE LOAN, THE

4306
02:22:53,731 --> 02:22:55,400
LOAN THAT I'VE BEEN CALLING THE

4307
02:22:55,400 --> 02:22:58,803
ARENA SLASH COVID LOAN AT ABOUT 

4308
02:22:58,803 --> 02:23:01,773
16.5, WITH A SIGNIFICANT PORTION

4309
02:23:01,773 --> 02:23:03,074
OF THAT OUTSTANDING THE LOAN TO 

4310
02:23:03,074 --> 02:23:04,976
MEMORIAL STADIUM PAID OFF TO 27.

4311
02:23:04,976 --> 02:23:05,576
AND WITH THIS PROPOSED LOAN, 

4312
02:23:05,576 --> 02:23:06,711
THAT WOULD BE THE THIRD 

4313
02:23:06,711 --> 02:23:08,546
INTERFUND LOAN TO THE SEATTLE 

4314
02:23:08,546 --> 02:23:09,881

4315
02:23:09,881 --> 02:23:13,184
OFFERED HERE TO DO NOT PASS THAT

4316
02:23:13,184 --> 02:23:13,751
AUTHORIZATION ORDINANCE AND 

4317

AMEND THE BUDGET ACCORDINGLY TO 

4318
02:23:15,420 --> 02:23:16,821
REMOVE OR JUSTICE SPENDING OR. 

4319
02:23:16,821 --> 02:23:19,090
OF COURSE, AS ALWAYS, ONE OPTION

4320
02:23:19,090 --> 02:23:20,091
IS NO CHANGE. SO I THINK I'LL 

4321
02:23:20,091 --> 02:23:21,993

4322
02:23:21,993 --> 02:23:25,029
THANK YOU. CHAIR. OKAY. THE NEXT

02:23:26,164 --> 02:23:29,200
WITH THE ELLIOTT BAY 

4325
02:23:29,200 --> 02:23:30,068
CONNECTIONS. THIS IS A NEW 

4326
02:23:30,068 --> 02:23:33,504
PUBLIC SPACE OR I SHOULD SAY 

4327
02:23:33,504 --> 02:23:34,138
RENOVATED, IMPROVED PUBLIC SPACE

4328
02:23:34,138 --> 02:23:35,773

4329
02:23:35,773 --> 02:23:36,975
INCLUDES MYRTLE EDWARDS PARK,

02:23:36,975 --> 02:23:37,775
CENTENNIAL PARK THAT'S OWNED BY

4331
02:23:37,775 --> 02:23:38,610
THE PORT OF SEATTLE, AS WELL, AS

4332
02:23:38,610 --> 02:23:43,147
WELL AS A GREENWAY, A GROUP OF 

4333
02:23:43,147 --> 02:23:43,748
PRIVATE PHILANTHROPISTS, THE 

4334
02:23:43,748 --> 02:23:47,318
ELLIOTT BAY CONNECTIONS GROUP 

4335
02:23:47,318 --> 02:23:48,486
CONTRIBUTED ABOUT $56 MILLION TO

4336
02:23:48,486 --> 02:23:50,688
RENOVATE ALL OF THOSE AREAS. THE

4337
02:23:50,688 --> 02:23:51,823
PLAN IS THAT THEY AND THEY HAVE 

4338
02:23:51,823 --> 02:23:56,160
COMMITTED TO BACKING MAINTENANCE

4339
02:23:56,160 --> 02:23:56,928

AREA THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER 

4341
02:23:58,730 --> 02:24:01,799
OF 2031. THE CITY IS WORKING OUT

4342
02:24:01,799 --> 02:24:03,534
THE DETAILS WITH THAT GROUP, SO 

4343
02:24:03,534 --> 02:24:06,070
COUNCIL SHOULD EXPECT 

4344
02:24:06,070 --> 02:24:08,973
LEGISLATION ACCEPTING THOSE 

4345
02:24:08,973 --> 02:24:09,841
IMPROVEMENTS, EXCEPT, YOU KNOW, 

4346
02:24:09,841 --> 02:24:11,709

02:24:14,512 --> 02:24:18,683
AS WELL AS JURISDICTIONAL 

4350
02:24:18,683 --> 02:24:20,718
CHANGES FROM S DEPARTMENT OF 

4351
02:24:20,718 --> 02:24:21,352
TRANSPORTATION AND PARKS FOR THE

4352
02:24:21,352 --> 02:24:23,454

02:24:23,454 --> 02:24:23,988
JURISDICTIONS OVER TO THE 

4354
02:24:23,988 --> 02:24:25,590
SEATTLE CENTER TO MAINTAIN THEM.

4355
02:24:25,590 --> 02:24:26,724
THAT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THE 

4356
02:24:26,724 --> 02:24:28,059
JURISDICTIONAL CHANGES THAT 

4357
02:24:28,059 --> 02:24:30,361
HAPPENED A FEW YEARS AGO, FROM 

4358
02:24:30,361 --> 02:24:31,696

02:27:10,388 --> 02:27:15,459
CONTINUE TO SHINE AS A BEACON 

4431
02:27:15,459 --> 02:27:18,696
FOR HOPE AND EXCITEMENT AND 

4432
02:27:18,696 --> 02:27:22,333
CREATION AND IMAGINATION FOR OUR

4433
02:27:22,333 --> 02:27:27,171
CITY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME AND

4434
02:27:27,171 --> 02:27:29,574
AT THE SAME TIME, COUNCIL IS 

4435
02:27:29,574 --> 02:27:32,276
BEING ASKED TO APPROVE A THIRD 

4436
02:27:32,276 --> 02:27:34,278
SEATTLE CENTER INTERFUND LOAN, 

4437
02:27:34,278 --> 02:27:38,349
WHILE EARLIER OBLIGATIONS REMAIN

4438
02:27:38,349 --> 02:27:39,517
OUTSTANDING. IF THERE IS EVER A 

4439
02:27:39,517 --> 02:27:43,020
TIME TO DO IT, TO DO SUCH A 

4440
02:27:43,020 --> 02:27:49,360
FAIRLY EXTRAORDINARY MEASURE 

4441
02:27:49,360 --> 02:27:51,095
SUPPORTING A. DOING SO IN 

4442
02:27:51,095 --> 02:27:52,296
FURTHERANCE OF A BOND MEASURE 

4443
02:27:52,296 --> 02:27:55,466
THAT. WITH. WITH BOTH PUBLIC. 

4444
02:27:55,466 --> 02:27:59,036
WITH BOTH CITY AND NON CITY 

4445
02:27:59,036 --> 02:28:01,172
INVESTMENT, TOTAL INVESTMENT 

4446
02:28:01,172 --> 02:28:04,775
COULD EXCEED $2 BILLION PLUS 

4447
02:28:04,775 --> 02:28:07,712
WELL I WOULD POSIT THAT THIS IS 

4448
02:28:07,712 --> 02:28:08,846
THE EXACT SCENARIO WHERE WE 

4449
02:28:08,846 --> 02:28:11,048
SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT THAT 

4450
02:28:11,048 --> 02:28:11,916
AND HAVING THE POLITICAL COURAGE

4451
02:28:11,916 --> 02:28:14,352
TO DO SUCH A THING. I STRONGLY 

4452
02:28:14,352 --> 02:28:17,288
SUPPORT A VOTER APPROVED CAPITAL

4453
02:28:17,288 --> 02:28:20,258
MEASURE. BUT READINESS MUST BE 

4454
02:28:20,258 --> 02:28:22,393
MATCHED BY CLEAR OUTCOMES AND 

4455
02:28:22,393 --> 02:28:24,262
TIMELINES. SO ON THE INVESTMENT 

4456
02:28:24,262 --> 02:28:26,831
SIDE, STRONGLY ALIGN WITH THE 

4457
02:28:26,831 --> 02:28:29,700
WITH THE I THINK THE EXECUTIVE 

4458
02:28:29,700 --> 02:28:31,936
AND AT LEAST ME AS CHAIR OF THE 

4459
02:28:31,936 --> 02:28:32,970
COUNCIL COMMITTEE THAT OVERSEES 

4460
02:28:32,970 --> 02:28:33,971
THE CENTER, I'M STRONGLY IN LINE

4461
02:28:33,971 --> 02:28:38,476
ON THE INVESTMENT LEVEL. 

4462
02:28:38,476 --> 02:28:39,076
APPROPRIATENESS OF INVESTMENT 

4463
02:28:39,076 --> 02:28:42,179
LEVEL PREPARATION FOR A BOND 

4464
02:28:42,179 --> 02:28:44,949
MEASURE. ON ON MY END, JUST 

4465
02:28:44,949 --> 02:28:48,686
WOULD EXPECT TO SEE A LITTLE 

4466
02:28:48,686 --> 02:28:52,123
MORE IN TERMS OF CLEAR 

4467
02:28:52,123 --> 02:28:54,492
DELIVERABLES. FIRM DECISION 

4468
02:28:54,492 --> 02:28:57,428
DATES, RESPONSIBLE LOAN 

4469
02:28:57,428 --> 02:28:59,964
PROTECTIONS, AND INCREASED 

4470
02:28:59,964 --> 02:29:02,900
CONFIDENCE THAT A PROPOSED 

4471
02:29:02,900 --> 02:29:05,303
INVESTMENT WILL PRODUCE A 

4472
02:29:05,303 --> 02:29:07,438
DEFENSIBLE PROJECT LIST AND 

4473
02:29:07,438 --> 02:29:08,039
FINANCIAL PACKAGE THAT VOTERS 

4474
02:29:08,039 --> 02:29:10,007
CAN EVALUATE NEXT YEAR. IN 2027,

4475
02:29:10,007 --> 02:29:14,578
IN LINE WITH OUR OUR SHARED 

4476
02:29:14,578 --> 02:29:20,184
COMMITMENT. SO TO THAT END, 

4477
02:29:20,184 --> 02:29:23,754
ERIC, JUST CURIOUS, DOES THE 

4478
02:29:23,754 --> 02:29:29,160
PROPOSED $3.1 MILLION FOR THE 

4479
02:29:29,160 --> 02:29:29,760
CAMPUS REVITALIZATION PROGRAM 

4480
02:29:29,760 --> 02:29:34,198
FULLY FUND THE PRE BOND WORK 

4481
02:29:34,198 --> 02:29:34,832
CONTEMPLATED BY RESOLUTION 32205

4482
02:29:34,832 --> 02:29:36,100
COLLEAGUES? AGAIN, THAT'S THE 

4483
02:29:36,100 --> 02:29:37,868
ONE WE PASSED EARLIER TODAY, 

4484
02:29:37,868 --> 02:29:38,936
AFFIRMING OUR COMMITMENT TO PUT 

4485
02:29:38,936 --> 02:29:40,871
A BOND MEASURE BEFORE VOTERS IN 

4486
02:29:40,871 --> 02:29:44,141
2027. DOES IT DOES IT FULLY FUND

4487
02:29:44,141 --> 02:29:47,478
THE WORK CONTEMPLATED BY THAT 

4488
02:29:47,478 --> 02:29:48,079
RESOLUTION, INCLUDING PROJECT 

4489
02:29:48,079 --> 02:29:49,313
PRIORITIZATION, RELIABLE COST 

4490
02:29:49,313 --> 02:29:51,949
ESTIMATES, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, 

4491
02:29:51,949 --> 02:29:54,485
DECARBONIZATION PLANNING AND 

4492
02:29:54,485 --> 02:29:56,253
COORDINATION WITH OUR UTILITY 

4493
02:29:56,253 --> 02:29:57,254
PROVIDERS, NAMELY SEATTLE CITY 

4494
02:29:57,254 --> 02:29:59,724
LIGHT AND SEATTLE PUBLIC 

4495
02:29:59,724 --> 02:30:03,728
UTILITIES. SO I GUESS PART ONE, 

4496
02:30:03,728 --> 02:30:04,528
PART TWO, WHAT REMAINS UNFUNDED 

4497
02:30:04,528 --> 02:30:07,365
OR INSUFFICIENTLY SCOPED UNDER 

4498
02:30:07,365 --> 02:30:12,269
THE EXECUTIVE PROPOSAL FOR THIS?

4499
02:30:12,269 --> 02:30:13,404
-- SO QUESTIONS TO THIS EFFECT 

4500
02:30:13,404 --> 02:30:14,405
HAVE BEEN POSTED. YOU KNOW, IN 

4501
02:30:14,405 --> 02:30:15,573
OUR IN OUR TRACKER, THE WHAT WE 

4502
02:30:15,573 --> 02:30:16,507
CALL SOMETIMES CALLED THE Q AMP 

4503
02:30:16,507 --> 02:30:19,110
A. SO I CAN REPLY WITH SOME OF 

4504
02:30:19,110 --> 02:30:20,945
THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE 

4505
02:30:20,945 --> 02:30:21,412
BUDGET OFFICE AND THE 

4506
02:30:21,412 --> 02:30:22,513
DEPARTMENT. IN THIS VEIN, THE 

4507
02:30:22,513 --> 02:30:24,382
BIGGER PICTURE OF WHAT REMAINS 

4508
02:30:24,382 --> 02:30:26,283
UNFUNDED OR INSUFFICIENTLY 

4509
02:30:26,283 --> 02:30:27,118
SCOPED IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO 

4510
02:30:27,118 --> 02:30:27,985
ANSWER. I CAN CONTINUE TO WORK 

4511
02:30:27,985 --> 02:30:30,654
WITH YOU ON THAT, BUT THE NATURE

4512
02:30:30,654 --> 02:30:33,124
OF THE WORK IS A SCOPING 

4513
02:30:33,124 --> 02:30:35,926
EXERCISE. SO IT'S IT IT, IT'S A

4514
02:30:35,926 --> 02:30:37,628
LITTLE BIT OF A FOR ME TO TRY TO

4515
02:30:37,628 --> 02:30:38,729
ANSWER THE QUESTION IN MY MIND 

4516
02:30:38,729 --> 02:30:40,398
TENDS TO START CHASING ITS OWN 

4517
02:30:40,398 --> 02:30:43,033
TAIL ON THAT ONE. BUT WHAT I 

4518
02:30:43,033 --> 02:30:45,102
WILL SAY IS THAT THE, THE WORK 

4519
02:30:45,102 --> 02:30:48,606
THAT WE SEE AS PROPOSED BY THE 

4520
02:30:48,606 --> 02:30:51,709
EXECUTIVE DOES ALIGN UP WELL 

4521
02:30:51,709 --> 02:30:53,110
WITH WHAT WAS PROPOSED IN THE 

4522
02:30:53,110 --> 02:30:55,146
RESOLUTION. AND BOTH OF THOSE 

4523
02:30:55,146 --> 02:30:57,381
THINGS RELIED ON THE WORK THAT 

4524
02:30:57,381 --> 02:30:58,416
THE SEATTLE CENTER DID, AND 

4525
02:30:58,416 --> 02:30:59,583
PUTTING TOGETHER A TEN YEAR PLAN

4526
02:30:59,583 --> 02:31:00,384
ABOUT WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO THE 

4527
02:31:00,384 --> 02:31:02,153
CAMPUS, WHICH I KNOW YOU'RE WELL

4528
02:31:02,153 --> 02:31:03,120
FAMILIAR WITH. SO FROM MY POINT 

4529
02:31:03,120 --> 02:31:04,321
AS AN ANALYST, LOOKING AT IT, 

4530
02:31:04,321 --> 02:31:05,589
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY LINE UP. 

4531
02:31:05,589 --> 02:31:07,625
WELL, YOU KNOW, THE WORK THAT 

4532
02:31:07,625 --> 02:31:09,160
WAS DONE BY SEATTLE CENTER WITH 

4533
02:31:09,160 --> 02:31:09,794
STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT WHAT SHOULD 

4534
02:31:09,794 --> 02:31:10,795
HAPPEN AT THE CAMPUS, MOVING 

4535
02:31:10,795 --> 02:31:11,996
INTO THE RESOLUTION AND THEN 

4536
02:31:11,996 --> 02:31:14,331
MOVING INTO THIS SORT OF 

4537
02:31:14,331 --> 02:31:15,800
PLANNING WORK. THE THINGS THAT 

4538
02:31:15,800 --> 02:31:18,202
ARE IDENTIFIED ARE FAMILIAR TO 

4539
02:31:18,202 --> 02:31:19,937
ME FROM SEEING THOSE THINGS, 

4540
02:31:19,937 --> 02:31:21,505
SPECIFICALLY, THE MONEY IN THE 

4541
02:31:21,505 --> 02:31:23,340
BUDGET WOULD COVER THE 

4542
02:31:23,340 --> 02:31:25,109
COMPREHENSIVE, A COMPREHENSIVE 

4543
02:31:25,109 --> 02:31:27,745
CAMPUS PLAN, ARMORY SPACE 

4544
02:31:27,745 --> 02:31:28,979
PLANNING, THE ARMORY BRIDGE TO 

4545
02:31:28,979 --> 02:31:31,248
MONORAIL WORK, AND THE FISHER 

4546
02:31:31,248 --> 02:31:33,617
PAVILION REVITALIZATION AND 

4547
02:31:33,617 --> 02:31:34,218
DECARBONIZATION ALL TOGETHER. 

4548
02:31:34,218 --> 02:31:39,790
THE DOLLARS INTO THAT WORK ARE 

4549
02:31:39,790 --> 02:31:40,357
ABOUT TWO POINT THREE $2.4 

4550
02:31:40,357 --> 02:31:41,125
MILLION. THE REMAINDER IS FOR. 

4551
02:31:41,125 --> 02:31:43,260
TO FUND THESE NEW POSITIONS, TO 

4552
02:31:43,260 --> 02:31:44,995
DO THE WORK THAT WOULD BE 

4553
02:31:44,995 --> 02:31:46,297
EXCLUSIVELY DEDICATED TO THAT, 

4554
02:31:46,297 --> 02:31:48,699
THAT MAY HELP TO PRODUCE SOME 

4555
02:31:48,699 --> 02:31:49,533
CONFIDENCE AROUND THE LEVEL OF 

4556
02:31:49,533 --> 02:31:51,068
EFFORT AND IF IT'S SUFFICIENT. 

4557
02:31:51,068 --> 02:31:52,369
BUT WE CAN CONTINUE TO SORT OF 

4558
02:31:52,369 --> 02:31:54,939
EXPLORE THAT. 

4559
02:31:54,939 --> 02:31:56,340
-- COUNCILMEMBERS IF I MAY ADD, 

4560
02:31:56,340 --> 02:31:57,908
I MEAN, THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH 

4561
02:31:57,908 --> 02:31:59,810
HOW THE CITY HAS PREPARED FOR 

4562
02:31:59,810 --> 02:32:01,011
MAKING PROPOSALS TO DO SOME 

4563
02:32:01,011 --> 02:32:02,913
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND DO THE 

4564
02:32:02,913 --> 02:32:04,248
ANALYSIS TO HAVE SOMETHING 

4565
02:32:04,248 --> 02:32:04,915
WHETHER THAT'S SUFFICIENT IS A 

4566
02:32:04,915 --> 02:32:06,083
LITTLE BIT OF A SUBJECTIVE 

4567
02:32:06,083 --> 02:32:08,352
DECISION ABOUT WHAT WE EXPECT TO

4568
02:32:08,352 --> 02:32:11,222
PUT IN FRONT OF FOLKS. THIS 

4569
02:32:11,222 --> 02:32:12,056
REPRESENTS SUNK COST, AND WE 

4570
02:32:12,056 --> 02:32:13,224
STILL DON'T KNOW FOR SURE IF 

4571
02:32:13,224 --> 02:32:14,558
THE VOTERS ARE GOING TO APPROVE 

4572
02:32:14,558 --> 02:32:15,526
IT. SO IT'S THAT FLIP SIDE OF 

4573
02:32:15,526 --> 02:32:16,660
BEING ABLE TO DO ENOUGH WORK 

4574
02:32:16,660 --> 02:32:18,062
THAT WE CAN DEMONSTRATE WHAT 

4575
02:32:18,062 --> 02:32:20,764
WE'RE DOING, BUT ALSO WE DON'T

4576
02:32:20,764 --> 02:32:23,100
HAVE THE MONEY. SO, YOU KNOW, 

4577
02:32:23,100 --> 02:32:25,603
IDEALLY YOU WOULD HAVE A PROJECT

4578
02:32:25,603 --> 02:32:27,605
COMPLETELY 100% DESIGNED SO THAT

4579
02:32:27,605 --> 02:32:29,173
YOU COULD SAY WITH CERTAINTY, 

4580
02:32:29,173 --> 02:32:30,541
HERE'S MY COST ESTIMATES, 

4581
02:32:30,541 --> 02:32:33,077
HERE'S EVERYTHING THAT'S NOT 

4582
02:32:33,077 --> 02:32:34,011
REASONABLE FOR THIS STAGE WHERE 

4583
02:32:34,011 --> 02:32:35,813
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS. BUT I 

4584
02:32:35,813 --> 02:32:38,415
THINK THIS LEVEL OF FUNDING IS 

4585
02:32:38,415 --> 02:32:40,784
KIND OF WHAT WE EXPECT TO BE 

4586
02:32:40,784 --> 02:32:42,319
ABLE TO PROPOSE SOMETHING AND TO

4587
02:32:42,319 --> 02:32:42,887
HAVE SOME CERTAINTY IN THE 

4588
02:32:42,887 --> 02:32:44,722
STUDIES NECESSARY AND FOLLOWING 

4589
02:32:44,722 --> 02:32:45,422
THE DIRECTION THAT THE 

4590
02:32:45,422 --> 02:32:47,491
COUNCIL'S GIVEN IN PAST 

4591
02:32:47,491 --> 02:32:47,791
RESOLUTION. 

4592
02:32:47,791 --> 02:32:49,760
-- THANK YOU. AND COUNCILMEMBER 

4593
02:32:49,760 --> 02:32:51,295
SAKA, JUST USUALLY I DON'T JUMP

4594
02:32:51,295 --> 02:32:54,298
IN, BUT I WAS ENGAGED IN DEEP 

4595
02:32:54,298 --> 02:32:56,433
BRIEFINGS AHEAD OF THE DEBT 

4596
02:32:56,433 --> 02:32:57,034
MANAGEMENT POLICY COMMITTEE. 

4597
02:32:57,034 --> 02:32:59,103
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE 

4598
02:32:59,103 --> 02:33:02,439
NEEDS OF THE SEATTLE CENTER IN 

4599
02:33:02,439 --> 02:33:03,007
PREPARATION FOR ANY BALLOT 

4600
02:33:03,007 --> 02:33:05,409
MEASURE ARE FULLY FUNDED. BUT IF

4601
02:33:05,409 --> 02:33:06,577
YOU ARE DIGGING IN AND YOU FIND 

4602
02:33:06,577 --> 02:33:08,412
OTHERWISE, PLEASE DO LET ME 

4603
02:33:08,412 --> 02:33:08,612
KNOW. 

4604
02:33:08,612 --> 02:33:13,117
-- THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT'S 

4605
02:33:13,117 --> 02:33:13,751
MY THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH MY 

4606
02:33:13,751 --> 02:33:14,552
UNDERSTANDING AS WELL. BACK TO 

4607
02:33:14,552 --> 02:33:16,854
MY EARLIER POINT, I DON'T I 

4608
02:33:16,854 --> 02:33:22,059
THINK WE'RE ALIGNED ON, ON THE 

4609
02:33:22,059 --> 02:33:23,494
INVESTMENT LEVEL AND, AND WHERE,

4610
02:33:23,494 --> 02:33:24,795
YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY

4611
02:33:24,795 --> 02:33:28,465
WANT TO DIG IN FURTHER IS ON 

4612
02:33:28,465 --> 02:33:31,268
CLEAR OUTCOMES AND DELIVERY AND 

4613
02:33:31,268 --> 02:33:33,070
TIMELINES. AND WHAT I WOULD JUST

4614
02:33:33,070 --> 02:33:33,771
CHARACTERIZE, AT LEAST AT A HIGH

4615
02:33:33,771 --> 02:33:37,074
LEVEL, IS GOOD GOVERNANCE 

4616
02:33:37,074 --> 02:33:41,445
FEATURES. AND MY NEXT QUESTION 

4617
02:33:41,445 --> 02:33:44,048
IS, HAS SEATTLE CENTER OR THE 

4618
02:33:44,048 --> 02:33:47,017
MAYOR'S OFFICE DEVELOPED A 

4619
02:33:47,017 --> 02:33:48,819
SPECIFIC BOND PACKAGE 

4620
02:33:48,819 --> 02:33:50,421
TRANSMITTAL SCHEDULE TO COUNCIL

4626
02:34:00,764 --> 02:34:01,231
TRANSMITTAL SCHEDULE. 

4627
02:34:01,231 --> 02:34:01,932
-- THE BEST INFORMATION WE HAVE 

4628
02:34:01,932 --> 02:34:04,868
RIGHT NOW IS THAT COUNCIL CAN 

4629
02:34:04,868 --> 02:34:06,403
EXPECT IN SPRING 27 SOME 

4630
02:34:06,403 --> 02:34:06,937
LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL, BUT 

4631
02:34:06,937 --> 02:34:09,406
THAT'S IT THAT THE Q&A, THAT'S

4632
02:34:09,406 --> 02:34:10,507
THE THAT'S THE MOST SPECIFIC 

4633
02:34:10,507 --> 02:34:11,809
ANSWER WE HAVE AT THIS POINT. WE

4634
02:34:11,809 --> 02:34:13,277
CAN CONTINUE TO ENGAGE WITH THE 

4635
02:34:13,277 --> 02:34:15,412

AND MY OFFICE HAS BEEN. AND 

4643
02:34:26,223 --> 02:34:28,225
APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP. 

4644
02:34:28,225 --> 02:34:29,426
THEY'RE BOTH ON A INFORMAL 

4645
02:34:29,426 --> 02:34:32,229
COLLABORATIVE LEVEL. AND THEN, 

4646
02:34:32,229 --> 02:34:34,164
YOU KNOW, DOT DOTTING OUR I'S 

4647
02:34:34,164 --> 02:34:35,165
AND CROSSING OR YEAH, DOTTING 

4648
02:34:35,165 --> 02:34:35,866
THE I'S AND CROSSING OUR T'S, 

4649
02:34:35,866 --> 02:34:38,369
SO TO SPEAK, AND MAKING SURE 

4650
02:34:38,369 --> 02:34:40,938
THAT SOME OF THESE SHARED 

4651
02:34:40,938 --> 02:34:43,741
UNDERSTANDINGS ARE, ARE 

4652
02:34:43,741 --> 02:34:46,210
DOCUMENTED AND MEMORIALIZED. NOW

4653
02:34:46,210 --> 02:34:49,179
DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. SO IN

4654
02:34:49,179 --> 02:34:51,782
ANY EVENT, WELL. 

4655
02:34:51,782 --> 02:34:53,651
-- COUNCIL MEMBER, JUST AN 

4656
02:34:53,651 --> 02:34:56,520
OBSERVATION THAT, YOU KNOW, THE,

4657
02:34:56,520 --> 02:34:58,422
THE GETTING ON THE BALLOT, 

4658
02:34:58,422 --> 02:34:59,323
THERE'S A CUTOFF FOR WHAT WE 

4659
02:34:59,323 --> 02:35:01,625
HAVE TO FILE FOR KING COUNTY 

4660
02:35:01,625 --> 02:35:03,460
ELECTIONS. AND SO OBVIOUSLY, THE

4661
02:35:03,460 --> 02:35:05,663
AUGUST DEADLINE, THE DEADLINE TO

4662
02:35:05,663 --> 02:35:07,031
GET ON THE AUGUST WOULD BE MUCH 

4663
02:35:07,031 --> 02:35:09,433
EARLIER THAN TO GET ON NOVEMBER.

4664
02:35:09,433 --> 02:35:10,768
THAT FEEDS INTO YOUR OTHER 

4665
02:35:10,768 --> 02:35:13,237
QUESTION ABOUT WHAT IS 

4666
02:35:13,237 --> 02:35:13,871
SUFFICIENT PROJECT DEVELOPMENT 

4667
02:35:13,871 --> 02:35:14,571
AND DESIGN SO THAT WE CAN 

4668
02:35:14,571 --> 02:35:16,874
ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, MAKE A GOOD 

4669
02:35:16,874 --> 02:35:17,408
PROPOSAL THAT PEOPLE CAN 

4670
02:35:17,408 --> 02:35:18,208
UNDERSTAND THAT FITS INTO THE 

4671
02:35:18,208 --> 02:35:21,211
WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE. SO I 

4672
02:35:21,211 --> 02:35:22,746
THINK IT'S I DON'T KNOW THAT 

4673
02:35:22,746 --> 02:35:26,050
WE HAVE ANY OTHER INSIGHT INTO 

4674
02:35:26,050 --> 02:35:27,651
WHAT THE PLAN IS, BUT BUT WE'RE

4675
02:35:27,651 --> 02:35:30,487
VERY AWARE OF THE, THE TIME 

4676
02:35:30,487 --> 02:35:30,788
TRADE OFF. 

4677
02:35:30,788 --> 02:35:35,225
-- YEAH. AND I JUST NOTE THAT 

4678
02:35:35,225 --> 02:35:36,727
THIS THIS PROPOSAL AT A HIGH 

4679
02:35:36,727 --> 02:35:42,833
LEVEL HAS BEEN PLANNED. NOW IN 

4680
02:35:42,833 --> 02:35:43,434
CONTEMPLATED BY TWO EXECUTIVE 

4681
02:35:43,434 --> 02:35:46,437
ADMINISTRATIONS, TWO DIFFERENT 

4682
02:35:46,437 --> 02:35:50,140
ADMINISTRATIONS. AND SO THERE IS

4683
02:35:50,140 --> 02:35:53,844
MORE CONCERTED EFFORT NOW AT THE

4684
02:35:53,844 --> 02:35:55,679
DEVELOPMENT STAGE OF A POTENTIAL

4685
02:35:55,679 --> 02:36:01,418
PROPOSAL. BUT A LOT OF THESE AT 

4686
02:36:01,418 --> 02:36:05,456
LEAST HIGH LEVEL SCOPING 

4687
02:36:05,456 --> 02:36:06,090
DELIVERABLE DECISIONS, YOU KNOW,

4688
02:36:06,090 --> 02:36:08,225
ON THE EXECUTIVE SIDE, HAVE BEEN

4689
02:36:08,225 --> 02:36:11,762
MADE OVER OVER THE PAST 2 OR 3 

4690
02:36:11,762 --> 02:36:12,463
YEARS. SO ON THE ONE HAND, WE 

4691
02:36:12,463 --> 02:36:14,031
NEED, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE MORE 

4692
02:36:14,031 --> 02:36:15,032
CLARITY AND CERTAINTY. ON THE 

4693
02:36:15,032 --> 02:36:16,533
OTHER HAND, WE DON'T HAVE TO 

4694
02:36:16,533 --> 02:36:19,603
HAVE EVERY SINGLE CONCEIVABLE 

4695
02:36:19,603 --> 02:36:20,204
OPERATIONAL DETAIL KNOWN AND 

4696
02:36:20,204 --> 02:36:23,273
CONTEMPLATED AND SOLVED. AND, 

4697
02:36:23,273 --> 02:36:28,512

IT RELATES TO THE USE OF AD TAX

AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT PUTTING

02:37:35,279 --> 02:37:36,447
THIS IN THE TRACKER AHEAD OF 

4730
02:37:36,447 --> 02:37:39,616
TIME, BUT DO WE KNOW IF THOSE 

4731
02:37:39,616 --> 02:37:40,117
RESOURCES ARE PRIMARILY 

4732
02:37:40,117 --> 02:37:41,585
SUPPORTING CITY STAFF AND 

4733
02:37:41,585 --> 02:37:42,252
OPERATIONS, OR IF THOSE ARE SORT

4734
02:37:42,252 --> 02:37:45,155
OF PASS THROUGH DOLLARS GOING TO

02:37:45,155 --> 02:37:46,657
SUPPORT THE VARIOUS ORGS WHO 

4736
02:37:46,657 --> 02:37:47,724
PARTICIPATE IN THOSE EVENTS? 

4737
02:37:47,724 --> 02:37:48,826
-- I DON'T HAVE THAT AT MY 

4738
02:37:48,826 --> 02:37:49,660
FINGERTIPS. I MEAN, I DO, BUT IT

4739
02:37:49,660 --> 02:37:50,961
WOULD BE A LOT OF PAPER 

4740
02:37:50,961 --> 02:37:51,929
SHUFFLING. THE QUESTION, I 

4741
02:37:51,929 --> 02:37:53,096
THINK, HAS BEEN ASKED IN THE 

4742
02:37:53,096 --> 02:37:54,231
TRACKER AND ANSWERED, BUT I CAN 

4743

JUST NEED TO. 

4748
02:37:58,702 --> 02:37:59,870
-- GO BACK. I DON'T HAVE THAT 

4749
02:37:59,870 --> 02:38:00,437
LIKE THAT. 

4750
02:38:00,437 --> 02:38:01,104
-- THAT'S OKAY. IT SOUNDS LIKE 

4751
02:38:01,104 --> 02:38:03,440
I JUST NEED TO GO BACK AND 

4752
02:38:03,440 --> 02:38:04,708
REVISIT THE TRACKER. AND THANKS 

4753
02:38:04,708 --> 02:38:05,976

4754
02:38:05,976 --> 02:38:06,210
TOP OF. 

4755
02:38:06,210 --> 02:38:07,411
-- THAT AT A HIGH LEVEL, A 

4756
02:38:07,411 --> 02:38:08,478
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THOSE 

4757
02:38:08,478 --> 02:38:09,813
FUNDS ARE PASSED THROUGH TO THE 

4758
02:38:09,813 --> 02:38:11,348
TO THE FOLKS THAT ARE 

4759
02:38:11,348 --> 02:38:13,550
PARTICIPATING IN THOSE FESTIVALS

4760
02:38:13,550 --> 02:38:14,184
ARE THE PERFORMERS, ET CETERA., 

4761
02:38:14,184 --> 02:38:16,620
BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT ONE 

4762
02:38:16,620 --> 02:38:16,954
HANDY. YEAH. 

4763
02:38:16,954 --> 02:38:17,821
-- THAT'S OKAY. I WILL GO BACK 

4764
02:38:17,821 --> 02:38:18,889
AND LOOK AT THAT. THANK YOU SO 

4765
02:38:18,889 --> 02:38:20,557
MUCH. WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF 

4766
02:38:20,557 --> 02:38:23,794
INPUT ON THIS QUESTION ABOUT THE

4767
02:38:23,794 --> 02:38:25,495
RESOURCES FROM THE ADMISSIONS 

4768
02:38:25,495 --> 02:38:26,129
TAX, FROM SOME OF THE ARTS AND 

4769
02:38:26,129 --> 02:38:27,865
CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS. AND AS 

4770
02:38:27,865 --> 02:38:28,699
ARTS CHAIR, I WANT TO MAKE SURE 

4771
02:38:28,699 --> 02:38:30,167
THAT WE'RE WE'RE TRACKING IT AND

4772
02:38:30,167 --> 02:38:32,002
LOOKING AT THE OPPORTUNITIES TO 

4773
02:38:32,002 --> 02:38:33,837
MAKE SURE THAT THOSE DOLLARS 

4774
02:38:33,837 --> 02:38:34,805
REMAIN SUPPORTING WORKING 

4775
02:38:34,805 --> 02:38:36,206
ARTISTS IN THE CITY. AS WE KNOW,

4776
02:38:36,206 --> 02:38:37,574
THAT'S JUST A REALLY IMPORTANT 

4777
02:38:37,574 --> 02:38:40,210
PART. I BELIEVE, IS THE ORIGINAL

4778
02:38:40,210 --> 02:38:42,079
INTENT OF THE AD TAX RESOURCES. 

4779
02:38:42,079 --> 02:38:44,181
AND I THINK OBVIOUSLY MAKING 

4780
02:38:44,181 --> 02:38:46,316
THIS WHAT WAS THE MAKING THE 

4781
02:38:46,316 --> 02:38:47,351
SHIFT ONGOING IS ONE OF THE THE,

4782
02:38:47,351 --> 02:38:48,752
I THINK, CHALLENGING DECISIONS

US, AND I THINK I'M ON PAGE 

4828
02:40:07,431 --> 02:40:10,267
FIVE OF THE MEMO AND I, I WILL 

4829
02:40:10,267 --> 02:40:11,068
SAY, ACTUALLY, BEFORE I GET INTO

4830
02:40:11,068 --> 02:40:12,769
THIS, JUST TO KIND OF COMMENT 

4831
02:40:12,769 --> 02:40:15,639
ABOUT APPRECIATION, I KNOW WE'RE

4832
02:40:15,639 --> 02:40:16,173
LOOKING AT THIS PREVIOUS 

4833
02:40:16,173 --> 02:40:17,908
INTERFUND LOAN AND JUST WANT TO 

4834
02:40:17,908 --> 02:40:18,542
ACKNOWLEDGE AND APPRECIATE THE 

4835
02:40:18,542 --> 02:40:19,643
WORK THAT THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL 

4836
02:40:19,643 --> 02:40:21,011
DID. AND COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ 

4837
02:40:21,011 --> 02:40:22,479
DID HERE. I WAS JUST WITH 

4838
02:40:22,479 --> 02:40:23,213
SOMEBODY THE OTHER DAY WHO SAID,

4839
02:40:23,213 --> 02:40:24,514
YOU KNOW, IF IT WASN'T FOR 

4840
02:40:24,514 --> 02:40:25,148
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, I DON'T 

4841
02:40:25,148 --> 02:40:26,049
KNOW WHERE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN 

4842
02:40:26,049 --> 02:40:27,150
ON, ON CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA. SO 

4843
02:40:27,150 --> 02:40:28,051
BEFORE I ASK MY QUESTION, I'LL 

4844
02:40:28,051 --> 02:40:31,021
JUST EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION 

4845
02:40:31,021 --> 02:40:31,955
THERE AND SO ON. THIS ONE, AS 

4846
02:40:31,955 --> 02:40:34,291
I'M READING THIS, THIS WAS A 

4847
02:40:34,291 --> 02:40:36,994
LOAN THAT WE HAD IN, IN 2018, 

4848
02:40:36,994 --> 02:40:39,396
AND THAT WE'VE THEN HAD TO 

4849
02:40:39,396 --> 02:40:40,030
EXTEND. I KNOW IT WAS IT SEEMS 

4850
02:40:40,030 --> 02:40:41,264
LIKE IT WAS INTENDED TO HAVE IT 

4851
02:40:41,264 --> 02:40:42,466
WRAPPED UP BY THE END OF 2026. 

4852
02:40:42,466 --> 02:40:44,234
AND THROUGH COVID, WE'VE 

4853
02:40:44,234 --> 02:40:50,240
EXTENDED IT OUT THROUGH 2033. IS

4854
02:40:50,240 --> 02:40:50,574
THAT CORRECT? 

4855
02:40:50,574 --> 02:40:53,877
-- SO THE LOAN, THE HISTORY OF 

4856
02:40:53,877 --> 02:40:55,278
THAT LOAN BEGAN WITH COVERING 

4857
02:40:55,278 --> 02:40:55,846
THE COSTS THAT THE SEATTLE 

4858
02:40:55,846 --> 02:40:56,747
CENTER WAS GOING TO INCUR, 

4859
02:40:56,747 --> 02:40:58,081
BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DO THINGS

4860
02:40:58,081 --> 02:41:00,851
LIKE HAVE EVENTS, LOST LEASE 

4861
02:41:00,851 --> 02:41:02,152
REVENUE, THINGS LIKE THAT, JUST 

4862
02:41:02,152 --> 02:41:04,688
FOR THE, THE NATURAL SORT OF 

4863
02:41:04,688 --> 02:41:06,056
DISTURBANCE OF DOING THE BIG 

4864
02:41:06,056 --> 02:41:08,191
RENOVATION ON THE ARENA THAT WAS

4865
02:41:08,191 --> 02:41:09,459
LIKE THAT $5 MILLION RIGHT ON 

4866
02:41:09,459 --> 02:41:11,361
THE HEELS OF THAT CAME COVID AND

4867
02:41:11,361 --> 02:41:13,330
EVERYTHING WENT QUIET. AND SO 

4868
02:41:13,330 --> 02:41:15,232
THE LOAN AMOUNT WAS INCREASED SO

4869
02:41:15,232 --> 02:41:16,900
THAT THE SEATTLE CENTER COULD 

4870
02:41:16,900 --> 02:41:18,368
CONTINUE TO DO THINGS LIKE NOT 

4871
02:41:18,368 --> 02:41:19,569
COLLECT RENTS. ET CETERA. ET 

4872
02:41:19,569 --> 02:41:20,570
CETERA. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT

4873
02:41:20,570 --> 02:41:23,440
THAT GOES INTO THAT. THE I 

4874
02:41:23,440 --> 02:41:25,609
DON'T RECALL OFF THE TOP OF MY 

4875
02:41:25,609 --> 02:41:29,246
HEAD, THE DUE DATE FOR THE 

4876
02:41:29,246 --> 02:41:33,417
ORIGINAL $5 MILLION LOAN. BUT 

4877
02:41:33,417 --> 02:41:35,986
THE CURRENT THE CURRENT LOAN 

4878
02:41:35,986 --> 02:41:37,087
RIGHT NOW, THE PAYMENT BACK, THE

4879
02:41:37,087 --> 02:41:39,089
PAYMENT OF THAT WOULD BE DUE IN 

4880
02:41:39,089 --> 02:41:41,024
2033, ACCORDING TO REPAYMENT 

4881
02:41:41,024 --> 02:41:41,291
SCHEDULE. 

4882
02:41:41,291 --> 02:41:41,558
-- OKAY. 

4883
02:41:41,558 --> 02:41:42,259
-- GOT IT. 

4884
02:41:42,259 --> 02:41:43,894
-- YEAH. AND THEN CAN YOU JUST 

4885
02:41:43,894 --> 02:41:45,462
WALK ME THROUGH THE. IT'S ALSO 

4886
02:41:45,462 --> 02:41:47,164
SAYS THAT THIS THE, THE PREVIOUS

4887
02:41:47,164 --> 02:41:48,532
LEGISLATION CHANGED THE LOAN 

4888
02:41:48,532 --> 02:41:50,367
FUND TO THE RE TWO CAPITAL 

4889
02:41:50,367 --> 02:41:52,335
PROJECTS FUND. AND THIS JUST 

4890
02:41:52,335 --> 02:41:53,170
CAUGHT MY EYE BECAUSE I KNOW 

4891
02:41:53,170 --> 02:41:55,205
THAT REACH REVENUE, 

4892
02:41:55,205 --> 02:41:55,806
UNFORTUNATELY HAS BEEN ONE OF 

4893
02:41:55,806 --> 02:41:58,442
OUR DECLINING REVENUE SOURCES. 

4894
02:41:58,442 --> 02:42:00,744
AND SO I'M JUST WANTING TO 

4895
02:42:00,744 --> 02:42:01,311
UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP 

4896
02:42:01,311 --> 02:42:02,112
BETWEEN THESE TWO A LITTLE BIT 

4897
02:42:02,112 --> 02:42:05,816
MORE IN TERMS OF ANY SORT OF 

4898
02:42:05,816 --> 02:42:07,551
FUTURE RISK TO THE CITY, AS WE 

4899
02:42:07,551 --> 02:42:09,920
CONTINUE TO SEE DECLINING REIT 

4900
02:42:09,920 --> 02:42:11,021
FUNDS, WHICH I KNOW WE'RE ALL 

4901
02:42:11,021 --> 02:42:13,790
COMMITTED TO TRYING TO WORK ON 

4902
02:42:13,790 --> 02:42:14,891
GETTING THOSE JUMPSTARTED. IT 

4903
02:42:14,891 --> 02:42:16,693
LOOKS LIKE I SEE DEPUTY DIRECTOR

4904
02:42:16,693 --> 02:42:17,794
CHOW THERE LEANING IN. 

4905
02:42:17,794 --> 02:42:18,929
-- HAPPY FOR CAL TO JUMP IN ON 

4906
02:42:18,929 --> 02:42:19,196
THAT ONE. 

4907
02:42:19,196 --> 02:42:21,264
-- YEAH, THE THE LENDING FUND IS

4908
02:42:21,264 --> 02:42:22,165
LARGELY AN ACCOUNTING PIECE TO 

4909
02:42:22,165 --> 02:42:23,333
MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN POINT TO 

4910
02:42:23,333 --> 02:42:24,901
THE ACTUAL FUNDS SITTING IN AN 

4911
02:42:24,901 --> 02:42:26,103
ACCOUNT SOMEWHERE TO BE ABLE TO 

4912
02:42:26,103 --> 02:42:28,071
SUPPORT THE FUNDING. IF THAT 

4913
02:42:28,071 --> 02:42:29,372
GOES OUT OF WHACK, WE WOULD HAVE

4914
02:42:29,372 --> 02:42:31,208
TO CONSIDER IDENTIFYING A 

4915
02:42:31,208 --> 02:42:32,476
DIFFERENT SOURCE. IT'S MOSTLY 

4916
02:42:32,476 --> 02:42:33,410
ON, TO BE CLEAR WITH, YOU KNOW, 

4917
02:42:33,410 --> 02:42:34,778
THE STATE AUDITOR AND EVERYBODY 

4918
02:42:34,778 --> 02:42:36,079
THAT WE CAN POINT TO THE RIGHT 

4919
02:42:36,079 --> 02:42:38,715
MONEY, BUT IT'S NOT IT'S BEYOND

4920
02:42:38,715 --> 02:42:39,683
THAT. THERE ISN'T REALLY A 

4921
02:42:39,683 --> 02:42:40,884
DIRECT CONNECTION. 

4922
02:42:40,884 --> 02:42:41,151
-- OKAY. 

4923
02:42:41,151 --> 02:42:41,818
-- THAT'S SUPER HELPFUL. THANK 

4924
02:42:41,818 --> 02:42:42,919
YOU SO MUCH. AND THOSE ARE MY 

4925
02:42:42,919 --> 02:42:43,687
QUESTIONS, CHAIR. 

4926
02:42:43,687 --> 02:42:44,821
-- THANK YOU. I'M JUST GOING TO

4927
02:42:44,821 --> 02:42:47,557
JUMP IN A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE YOU

4928
02:42:47,557 --> 02:42:48,191
BROUGHT UP THIS INTERFUND LOAN. 

4929
02:42:48,191 --> 02:42:50,127
THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE 

4930
02:42:50,127 --> 02:42:51,661
CITY BUDGET THAT IT IS CURRENTLY

4931
02:42:51,661 --> 02:42:53,130
BEING USED. WE'LL GET TO THE 

4932
02:42:53,130 --> 02:42:55,232
CONVERSATION LATER TODAY ABOUT 

4933
02:42:55,232 --> 02:42:56,733
THE SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF 

4934
02:42:56,733 --> 02:42:57,367
TRANSPORTATION THAT PROPOSES TO 

4935
02:42:57,367 --> 02:43:01,204
USE A SIMILAR INTERFUND LOAN. MY

4936
02:43:01,204 --> 02:43:01,772
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THESE 

4937
02:43:01,772 --> 02:43:03,874
INTERFUND LOANS ARE NOT 

4938
02:43:03,874 --> 02:43:05,442
ALLOWABLE USES OF THIS TYPE OF 

4939
02:43:05,442 --> 02:43:07,978
FINANCIAL PRACTICE UNLESS THERE 

4940
02:43:07,978 --> 02:43:11,515
ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS. SO SAID IN

4941
02:43:11,515 --> 02:43:14,451
ANOTHER WAY, THESE ARE NOT 

4942
02:43:14,451 --> 02:43:17,187
ALLOWABLE TOOLS IN NORMAL 

4943
02:43:17,187 --> 02:43:20,290
FINANCIAL SITUATIONS. BUT FROM 

4944
02:43:20,290 --> 02:43:21,625
WHAT ERIC AND CALVIN JUST SHARED

4945
02:43:21,625 --> 02:43:24,928
WITH US, IT WAS THE PREPARING 

4946
02:43:24,928 --> 02:43:27,564
FOR CLIMATE, THE PREPARING FOR 

4947
02:43:27,564 --> 02:43:29,499
THE AND EXPERIENCING THE IMPACTS

4948
02:43:29,499 --> 02:43:32,302
OF CLIMATE PLEDGE, ARENA 

4949
02:43:32,302 --> 02:43:33,970
CONSTRUCTION, LEADING DIRECTLY 

4950
02:43:33,970 --> 02:43:36,506
INTO THE PANDEMIC, WHERE SEATTLE

4951
02:43:36,506 --> 02:43:38,808
CENTER IS A REVENUE BASED 

4952
02:43:38,808 --> 02:43:41,545
DEPARTMENT, A FEE BASED 

4953
02:43:41,545 --> 02:43:43,046
DEPARTMENT THAT COULD NOT MAKE 

4954
02:43:43,046 --> 02:43:46,082
PAYROLL WITHOUT THIS INTERFUND 

4955
02:43:46,082 --> 02:43:47,517
LOAN. DID I GET THAT CORRECT? 

4956
02:43:47,517 --> 02:43:48,785
-- CENTRAL STAFF YES, 

4957
02:43:48,785 --> 02:43:50,620
SPECIFICALLY, OUR FINANCIAL 

4958
02:43:50,620 --> 02:43:52,322
PLANS DO STATE THAT INTERFUND 

4959
02:43:52,322 --> 02:43:53,056
LOANS REALLY SHOULD JUST BE FOR 

4960
02:43:53,056 --> 02:43:53,890
CAPITAL, AND THAT IF YOU'RE 

4961
02:43:53,890 --> 02:43:55,225
GOING TO USE THEM FOR 

4962
02:43:55,225 --> 02:43:56,293
OPERATIONS, IT REALLY NEEDS TO 

4963
02:43:56,293 --> 02:43:58,528
BE A LAST RESORT TYPE OF 

4964
02:43:58,528 --> 02:44:00,130
SITUATION TO CONTINUE TO 

4965
02:44:00,130 --> 02:44:02,399
PERFORM. YOU KNOW ESSENTIAL 

4966
02:44:02,399 --> 02:44:03,967
PUBLIC SERVICES, YOU KNOW, AND 

4967
02:44:03,967 --> 02:44:06,036
IN THIS CASE, I MEAN, THIS WOULD

4968
02:44:06,036 --> 02:44:07,938
HAVE MEANT PROBABLY EVICTING 

4969
02:44:07,938 --> 02:44:09,639
VENDORS WHO COULDN'T ACTUALLY DO

4970
02:44:09,639 --> 02:44:10,240
ANYTHING DURING THAT TIME IN 

4971
02:44:10,240 --> 02:44:12,475
COVID. I MEAN, THERE'S A, 

4972
02:44:12,475 --> 02:44:13,143
THERE'S DEFINITELY A RATIONALE 

4973
02:44:13,143 --> 02:44:15,745
TO BE MADE, BUT IT IS AN 

4974
02:44:15,745 --> 02:44:19,082
EXCEPTION OF HOW BEST PRACTICES 

4975
02:44:19,082 --> 02:44:19,316

-- I WOULD JUST ADD ON THAT THE 

4978
02:44:21,618 --> 02:44:24,020
CITY'S POLICIES DO SPECIFY THAT

4979
02:44:24,020 --> 02:44:25,422
LOANS HAVE TO POINT TO A 

4980
02:44:25,422 --> 02:44:26,756
PARTICULAR SOURCE. SO THAT'S WHY

4981
02:44:26,756 --> 02:44:29,326
THEY'RE CALLED OUT TWO OR SOME 

4982
02:44:29,326 --> 02:44:32,562

02:49:20,049 --> 02:49:22,018
HAS REALLY NOT ONLY BEEN A 

5137
02:49:22,018 --> 02:49:23,853
CONNECTION POINT, BUT A 

5138
02:49:23,853 --> 02:49:27,123
REVITALIZATION POINT. AND A LOT 

5139
02:49:27,123 --> 02:49:27,624
OF THIS PUBLIC PRIVATE 

5140
02:49:27,624 --> 02:49:29,392
PARTNERSHIP, INCLUDING FRIENDS 

5141
02:49:29,392 --> 02:49:32,529
OF THE WATERFRONT, HAS BEEN SO 

5142
02:49:32,529 --> 02:49:34,063
INSTRUMENTAL TO GETTING THIS 

5143
02:49:34,063 --> 02:49:35,598
DONE. AND THIS IS WHERE IT'S A 

5144
02:49:35,598 --> 02:49:39,402
GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT PUBLIC, 

5145
02:49:39,402 --> 02:49:42,672
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP DOING SO SO 

5146
02:49:42,672 --> 02:49:44,974
MUCH FOR A CITY. AND SO I REALLY

5147
02:49:44,974 --> 02:49:46,809
-- JUST WANTED TO SHOUT THAT 

5148
02:49:46,809 --> 02:49:47,911
OUT. YOU KNOW, THE SEATTLE 

5149
02:49:47,911 --> 02:49:49,879
CENTER HAS HAD A LOT OF ISSUES 

5150
02:49:49,879 --> 02:49:52,115
OVER THE YEARS, A LOT OF 

5151
02:49:52,115 --> 02:49:54,317
FINANCIAL ISSUES OVER THE YEARS.

5152
02:49:54,317 --> 02:49:56,953
THE AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, OF 

5153
02:49:56,953 --> 02:50:01,791
COURSE AND THIS REVITALIZATION 

5154
02:50:01,791 --> 02:50:03,192
PIECE, WHEN CLIMATE PLEDGE DID 

5155
02:50:03,192 --> 02:50:05,929
COME IN AND YOU SEE HOW 

5156
02:50:05,929 --> 02:50:07,096
REVITALIZED THE CAMPUS IS, IS SO

5157
02:50:07,096 --> 02:50:08,131
IMPORTANT. AND THEN, OF COURSE, 

5158
02:50:08,131 --> 02:50:09,766
WITH THE WATERFRONT PIECE HAS 

5159
02:50:09,766 --> 02:50:12,835
JUST MADE IT EVEN BETTER. SO I 

5160
02:50:12,835 --> 02:50:17,140
WANTED TO, TO SHOUT THAT OUT. I 

5161
02:50:17,140 --> 02:50:18,208
DID WANT TO ASK ABOUT OR AT 

5162
02:50:18,208 --> 02:50:20,810
LEAST SAY, BECAUSE I KNOW THE 

5163
02:50:20,810 --> 02:50:24,781
ONE ONE BITE. WHAT HAPPENED? THE

5164
02:50:24,781 --> 02:50:28,484
MASS SHOOTING AT THE CENTER WAS 

5165
02:50:28,484 --> 02:50:31,354
TRAGIC. AND THEN ALSO I NOTED IN

5166
02:50:31,354 --> 02:50:36,559
THE BUDGET AND NOT NOT. AND 

5167
02:50:36,559 --> 02:50:37,193
ALSO, AND I NOTED IN THE BUDGET 

5168
02:50:37,193 --> 02:50:39,028
THAT THERE'S SOME, YOU KNOW, 

5169
02:50:39,028 --> 02:50:40,463
THERE'S SOME ONE TIME FUNDS 

5170
02:50:40,463 --> 02:50:47,370
THAT WENT IN THIS YEAR FOR SOME 

5171
02:50:47,370 --> 02:50:49,138
SECURITY PIECES, BUT I KNOW PART

5172
02:50:49,138 --> 02:50:51,541
OF THE SECURITY PIECE IS CALLED 

5173
02:50:51,541 --> 02:50:52,942
OUT SUPPORT VEHICLES FOR CAMPUS 

5174
02:50:52,942 --> 02:50:56,212
SECURITY. IT LOOKS LIKE FENCING 

5175
02:50:56,212 --> 02:50:58,014
TRAININGS FOR CRISIS SITUATIONS 

5176
02:50:58,014 --> 02:50:58,815
FOR THE STAFF, WHICH I THINK IS 

5177
02:50:58,815 --> 02:51:02,418
SO IMPORTANT. OF COURSE. AND 

5178
02:51:02,418 --> 02:51:03,987
THEN THIS WEAPONS DETECTION 

5179
02:51:03,987 --> 02:51:04,954
EQUIPMENT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT 

5180
02:51:04,954 --> 02:51:06,589
THAT WILL LOOK LIKE. ERIC, CAN 

5181
02:51:06,589 --> 02:51:08,291
YOU I DON'T KNOW IF YOU. AND 

5182
02:51:08,291 --> 02:51:09,726
THEN THAT'S ALL IT SAYS. AND SO

5183
02:51:09,726 --> 02:51:11,160
I DON'T KNOW. AND I KNOW I'VE 

5184
02:51:11,160 --> 02:51:13,363
ASKED THE QUESTION IN THE PAST, 

5185
02:51:13,363 --> 02:51:16,032
BUT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY 

5186
02:51:16,032 --> 02:51:16,633
ANSWERS ABOUT CAMERAS AT THE 

5187
02:51:16,633 --> 02:51:19,235
CENTER. WHAT THE TECHNOLOGY IS 

5188
02:51:19,235 --> 02:51:20,203
AT THE CENTER TO HELP BECAUSE, 

5189
02:51:20,203 --> 02:51:24,140
OF COURSE, THAT THAT IS STILL 

5190
02:51:24,140 --> 02:51:26,609
BEING INVESTIGATED. WE STILL 

5191
02:51:26,609 --> 02:51:28,945
DON'T HAVE SOMEONE IT APPEARS 

5192
02:51:28,945 --> 02:51:30,013
WE HAVE SOMEONE IN CUSTODY, BUT 

5193
02:51:30,013 --> 02:51:32,548
IT MIGHT NOT BE THE PERSON WHO 

5194
02:51:32,548 --> 02:51:33,916
ACTUALLY DID THE SHOOTING. AND 

5195
02:51:33,916 --> 02:51:34,651
SO SOMEONE'S STILL OUT THERE. 

5196
02:51:34,651 --> 02:51:38,721
AT LEAST ONE PERSON, IF NOT TWO.

5197
02:51:38,721 --> 02:51:41,858
AND SO, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE 

5198
02:51:41,858 --> 02:51:43,660
SECURING THE CAMPUS IS A REALLY 

5199
02:51:43,660 --> 02:51:45,695
IMPORTANT PIECE. AND THEN I 

5200
02:51:45,695 --> 02:51:47,163
DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAMERAS ARE

5201
02:51:47,163 --> 02:51:49,832
CURRENTLY ON CAMPUS AND WHETHER 

5202
02:51:49,832 --> 02:51:54,037
OR NOT THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE

5203
02:51:54,037 --> 02:51:54,671
INSTALLATION OF CAMERAS ACROSS 

5204
02:51:54,671 --> 02:51:56,072
THE CAMPUS, BECAUSE I DON'T 

5205
02:51:56,072 --> 02:51:58,641
THINK THAT I THINK THAT WAS AN 

5206
02:51:58,641 --> 02:51:59,475
ISSUE. I HAD HEARD WHEN THEY 

5207
02:51:59,475 --> 02:52:02,779
WERE INVESTIGATING THIS 

5208
02:52:02,779 --> 02:52:03,680
PARTICULAR INCIDENT. 

5209
02:52:03,680 --> 02:52:05,448
-- YEAH, I'M TAKING NOTE. WE'LL

5210
02:52:05,448 --> 02:52:06,416
FOLLOW UP ON THIS QUESTION. I'M

5211
02:52:06,416 --> 02:52:07,817
NOTING THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE 

5212
02:52:07,817 --> 02:52:10,687
CURIOUS ABOUT MORE MORE 

5213
02:52:10,687 --> 02:52:12,155
SPECIFICS AROUND WHAT WEAPON 

5214
02:52:12,155 --> 02:52:12,789
DETECTION EQUIPMENT IS LIKE, 

5215
02:52:12,789 --> 02:52:13,956
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, HOW IT 

5216
02:52:13,956 --> 02:52:14,791
WORKS, WHAT THAT, WHAT THAT 

5217
02:52:14,791 --> 02:52:16,125
MEANS IS THAT, IS THAT CORRECT? 

5218
02:52:16,125 --> 02:52:16,959
THAT'S IN. 

5219
02:52:16,959 --> 02:52:18,194
-- THE FOR THE CAMPUS. YES. 

5220
02:52:18,194 --> 02:52:20,363
-- YEAH. YEAH. THAT'S IN THE 

5221
02:52:20,363 --> 02:52:21,631
2026 YEAR END SUPPLEMENTAL. SO 

5222
02:52:21,631 --> 02:52:23,032
TO BE PURCHASED AND SPENT, YOU 

5223
02:52:23,032 --> 02:52:25,168
KNOW, IN THIS YEAR. AND THEN 

5224
02:52:25,168 --> 02:52:26,335
ALSO FOLLOWING UP ON THE 

5225
02:52:26,335 --> 02:52:27,670
QUESTION OF CAMERAS, WHICH MAY 

5226
02:52:27,670 --> 02:52:29,072
BE ME OR ANOTHER MEMBER OF 

5227
02:52:29,072 --> 02:52:30,006
CENTRAL STAFF TAKING ON THAT 

5228
02:52:30,006 --> 02:52:31,607
ISSUE, BUT WE'LL WE'LL FOLLOW 

5229
02:52:31,607 --> 02:52:31,774
UP. 

5230
02:52:31,774 --> 02:52:32,675
-- THAT'S FINE. JUST IN 

5231
02:52:32,675 --> 02:52:35,211
GENERAL, HOW WE'RE SECURING THE

5232
02:52:35,211 --> 02:52:37,547
CAMPUS, NOT JUST THIS YEAR, BUT 

5233
02:52:37,547 --> 02:52:39,649
OBVIOUSLY MOVING FORWARD. AND IF

5234
02:52:39,649 --> 02:52:41,617
THERE'S FUNDING IN THE BUDGET TO

5235
02:52:41,617 --> 02:52:43,052
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING 

5236
02:52:43,052 --> 02:52:44,320
THOSE PIECES AS WELL, BECAUSE WE

5237
02:52:44,320 --> 02:52:45,688
DO HAVE A LOT OF EVENTS ON 

5238
02:52:45,688 --> 02:52:47,223
CAMPUS, AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO 

5239
02:52:47,223 --> 02:52:50,693
COME TO TO THE CAMPUS, AND WE 

5240
02:52:50,693 --> 02:52:52,662
WANT FOLKS TO FEEL SECURE AND 

5241
02:52:52,662 --> 02:52:54,030
SAFE DOING THAT. WE DON'T WANT 

5242
02:52:54,030 --> 02:52:56,566
TO HAVE IMPACTS BECAUSE OF WHAT 

5243
02:52:56,566 --> 02:52:59,335
HAPPENED. SO THANK YOU, ERIC, 

5244
02:52:59,335 --> 02:52:59,969
FOR GETTING US THAT INFORMATION.

5245
02:52:59,969 --> 02:53:01,304
THANK YOU CHAIR. 

5246
02:53:01,304 --> 02:53:02,472
-- THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER, 

5247
02:53:02,472 --> 02:53:04,240
RIVERA COLLEAGUES. ANY OTHER 

5248
02:53:04,240 --> 02:53:07,110
QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, TOPICS? I 

5249
02:53:07,110 --> 02:53:08,811
WILL JUST SAY I ALREADY TALKED 

5250
02:53:08,811 --> 02:53:09,645
ABOUT THE INTERFUND LOAN. I'LL 

5251
02:53:09,645 --> 02:53:11,380
JUST SAY THAT SEATTLE CENTER IS 

5252
02:53:11,380 --> 02:53:13,883
ASKED TO DO MORE THAN WHAT WE 

5253
02:53:13,883 --> 02:53:16,018
HELP THEM TO DO. THEY ARE A 

5254
02:53:16,018 --> 02:53:18,454
DEPARTMENT THAT IS GENERAL FUND 

5255
02:53:18,454 --> 02:53:20,623
DEPENDENT, AS WELL AS THEIR FEES

5256
02:53:20,623 --> 02:53:22,425
FROM WITHIN CAMPUS, AND THEY 

5257
02:53:22,425 --> 02:53:25,161
WERE ASKED TO DO THE DOWNTOWN 

5258
02:53:25,161 --> 02:53:26,929
ACTIVATION PLAN PROGRAM THIS 

5259
02:53:26,929 --> 02:53:28,765
LAST YEAR. THEY'RE ASKED TO DO 

5260
02:53:28,765 --> 02:53:31,200
THE WATERFRONT. NOW, THIS THIS 

5261
02:53:31,200 --> 02:53:34,737
TRAIL, ALL THE WHILE, THE ARMORY

5262
02:53:34,737 --> 02:53:38,174
IS THE MOST ATTENDED, PUBLICLY 

5263
02:53:38,174 --> 02:53:38,741
OWNED BUILDING IN OUR CITY, 

5264
02:53:38,741 --> 02:53:40,910
WHICH, IF I'M JUST EXTRAPOLATING

5265
02:53:40,910 --> 02:53:44,714
HERE, MEANS LIKELY IN THE STATE.

5266
02:53:44,714 --> 02:53:45,782
AND SO I WILL. ON THE TOUR THAT 

5267
02:53:45,782 --> 02:53:47,416
I TOOK OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF 

5268
02:53:47,416 --> 02:53:51,587
THE ARMORY BUILDING, I WILL SAY 

5269
02:53:51,587 --> 02:53:53,156
THAT BEYOND I HAD EXPECTATIONS 

5270
02:53:53,156 --> 02:53:55,525
OF HOW BAD IT WAS AND THOSE THAT

5271
02:53:55,525 --> 02:53:57,760
TOUR EXCEEDED THOSE EXPECTATIONS

5272
02:53:57,760 --> 02:53:59,162
IN A NEGATIVE WAY. THIS IS 

5273
02:53:59,162 --> 02:54:01,831
SOMETHING WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY

5274
02:54:01,831 --> 02:54:02,865
SPENDING AND THIS IS WHERE ERIC,

5275
02:54:02,865 --> 02:54:05,601
I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO FOLLOW UP 

5276
02:54:05,601 --> 02:54:07,570
ON THE SHAREPOINT OF WHAT IS THE

5277
02:54:07,570 --> 02:54:10,740
CAPITAL OR WHAT IS THE ANNUAL 

5278
02:54:10,740 --> 02:54:12,575
OPERATING COST OF THE CAMPUS? 

5279
02:54:12,575 --> 02:54:15,812
WHAT DO THEY CALL IT? THE CAMPUS

5280
02:54:15,812 --> 02:54:17,180
HEATING EXCHANGE BUILDING. IT'S

5281
02:54:17,180 --> 02:54:17,814
MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'RE 

5282
02:54:17,814 --> 02:54:22,351
LOSING 50% OF OUR HEATING OR 

5283
02:54:22,351 --> 02:54:23,719
COOLING JUST IN THE TRANSFER 

5284
02:54:23,719 --> 02:54:26,756
BETWEEN THE UTILITY PLANT AND 

5285
02:54:26,756 --> 02:54:28,357
THE BUILDINGS THAT THEY SERVE. 

5286
02:54:28,357 --> 02:54:30,393
YOU KNOW, THOSE ADD UP TO 

5287
02:54:30,393 --> 02:54:32,328
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF OPERATING

5288
02:54:32,328 --> 02:54:35,898
COSTS. SO WHEN WE ARE TALKING 

5289
02:54:35,898 --> 02:54:36,466
ABOUT ADDRESSING STRUCTURAL 

5290
02:54:36,466 --> 02:54:37,834
BUDGET DEFICITS, EVEN THOUGH A 

5291
02:54:37,834 --> 02:54:38,835
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT WOULD BE 

5292
02:54:38,835 --> 02:54:40,636
COSTLY, IT WOULD SAVE US 

5293
02:54:40,636 --> 02:54:41,938
OPERATING DOLLARS IN THE LONG 

5294
02:54:41,938 --> 02:54:45,208
RUN. BUT IF YOU CAN TRACK DOWN 

5295
02:54:45,208 --> 02:54:45,808
SOME OF THOSE CURRENT LOSSES 

5296
02:54:45,808 --> 02:54:47,643
THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING, THAT 

5297
02:54:47,643 --> 02:54:49,445
WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. I, I SAY 

5298
02:54:49,445 --> 02:54:51,480
ALL OF THIS BECAUSE WE ASK MORE 

5299
02:54:51,480 --> 02:54:54,083
OF THE SEATTLE CENTER THAN WHAT 

5300
02:54:54,083 --> 02:54:55,751
WE GIVE THEM, AND WE ARE WE'VE 

5301
02:54:55,751 --> 02:54:58,654
ASKED THEM TO DEFER MAINTENANCE,

5302
02:54:58,654 --> 02:55:01,123
ALL THE WHILE HOSTING OUR CITY 

5303
02:55:01,123 --> 02:55:02,525
AND PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE THE CITY

5304
02:55:02,525 --> 02:55:05,661
AS BEING A LANDMARK FOR NOT ONLY

5305
02:55:05,661 --> 02:55:07,630
JUST SEATTLE, ALSO FOR THE 

5306
02:55:07,630 --> 02:55:09,332
ENTIRE STATE. SO GOOD JOB TO THE

5307
02:55:09,332 --> 02:55:10,766
SEATTLE CENTER TEAM FOR DOING 

5308
02:55:10,766 --> 02:55:12,401
MORE WITH LESS. AND WE NEED TO 

5309
02:55:12,401 --> 02:55:14,270
BACK YOU UP A LITTLE BIT. SO 

5310
02:55:14,270 --> 02:55:15,638
HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET TO THAT 

5311
02:55:15,638 --> 02:55:16,906
NEXT YEAR. WITH THAT.

DOTTING THE I'S, BORING BASICS 

5335
02:56:04,554 --> 02:56:08,558

5338
02:56:15,464 --> 02:56:18,968

AS BUDGET CHAIR NOTED A MOMENT 

5347
02:56:39,889 --> 02:56:42,391
AGO, AND I THINK THIS BUDGET 

5348
02:56:42,391 --> 02:56:45,561
OVERALL TAKES A STRONG STEP IN 

5349
02:56:45,561 --> 02:56:48,130
THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO ADDRESS 

5350
02:56:48,130 --> 02:56:50,399
THAT. AND I THINK TOGETHER, 

5351
02:56:50,399 --> 02:56:55,037
COLLECTIVELY NEXT YEAR, A BOND 

5352
02:56:55,037 --> 02:56:56,405
MEASURE WOULD WOULD HELP CLOSE 

5353
02:56:56,405 --> 02:56:58,441
THE GAP EVEN FURTHER ON, AT 

5354
02:56:58,441 --> 02:57:01,978

5355
02:57:01,978 --> 02:57:04,613

MAINTENANCE BACKLOG AND CAPITAL 

5358
02:57:07,850 --> 02:57:14,090

5452
03:00:42,298 --> 03:00:43,365
PEOPLE TO WORK. I'M EXCITED

5454
03:00:44,033 --> 03:00:45,534
