71
00:04:23,296 --> 00:04:25,098
THANK YOU. WE'VE GOT A 

72
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:26,165
PRESENTATION FROM CENTRAL STAFF.

73
00:04:26,165 --> 00:04:27,533
WE'RE GOING TO START OFF WITH 

74
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:30,937
THE TOP OF PROCESS AND THEN 

75
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:32,105
HIGHLIGHT THE THE I BELIEVE SIX 

76
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:33,473
ITEMS, SEVEN ITEMS THAT WERE 

77
00:04:33,473 --> 00:04:35,608
ADDED IN TO THE BALANCING 

78
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:37,110
PACKAGE THAT WERE NOT PRESENTED 

79
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:38,911
AS AMENDMENTS LAST WEEK. AND 

80
00:04:38,911 --> 00:04:41,514
THEN WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO 

81
00:04:41,514 --> 00:04:42,815
THE BALANCING PACKAGE ITSELF. 

82
00:04:42,815 --> 00:04:44,283
WHAT I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO DO 

83
00:04:44,283 --> 00:04:46,319
WAS ACROSS THIS IS A 

84
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:46,919
REPRESENTATION OF EVERYONE ON 

85
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:48,521
COUNCIL'S WORK. I'M REALLY 

86
00:04:48,521 --> 00:04:52,859
PROUD OF EVERYONE'S ASKS AND 

87
00:04:52,859 --> 00:04:53,493
BRINGING TOGETHER THE PRIORITIES

88
00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:55,862
OF OUR CITY FROM THE PEOPLE THAT

89
00:04:55,862 --> 00:04:56,929
YOU REPRESENT AND THE PEOPLE YOU

90
00:04:56,929 --> 00:04:58,131
HEAR. FOR AT A HIGH LEVEL, 

91
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:01,367
EVERYONE GOT PRETTY MUCH ONE BIG

92
00:05:01,367 --> 00:05:02,435
ASK AND MANY SMALL ASKS FOR 

93
00:05:02,435 --> 00:05:04,303
PUBLIC'S AWARENESS. I ADDED TWO

94
00:05:04,303 --> 00:05:06,005
STATEMENTS OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT

95
00:05:06,005 --> 00:05:08,141
PER COUNCILMEMBER. WE'RE ASKING

96
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:09,542
ONLY THREE TOTAL. REALLY. MAYBE 

97
00:05:09,542 --> 00:05:11,177
IF YOU NEED A FOURTH, WE CAN 

98
00:05:11,177 --> 00:05:14,614
TALK ABOUT IT. BUT THAT ALLOWS 

99
00:05:14,614 --> 00:05:16,015
FOR OTHER COUNCIL FOR 

100
00:05:16,015 --> 00:05:16,616
COUNCILMEMBERS TO CHOOSE WHAT 

101
00:05:16,616 --> 00:05:21,187
THEIR ADDITIONAL SLIGHT IS. WE 

102
00:05:21,187 --> 00:05:21,821
ARE BALANCED FOUR YEARS OUT. I 

103
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:22,355
DON'T NEED A LAW OR AN 

104
00:05:22,355 --> 00:05:23,289
EXECUTIVE ORDER TO TELL ME TO 

105
00:05:23,289 --> 00:05:24,390
BALANCE THE BUDGET FOUR YEARS 

106
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:27,493
OUT, SO I'M PROUD OF THAT. WE 

107
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:30,530
DID YOU. WE DID MAKE A DECISION 

108
00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:32,165
BASED ON COLLEAGUES. YOU MAY 

109
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:35,001
KNOW THAT LAST YEAR I, I PASSED 

110
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:36,636
A LAW THAT I SPONSORED REGARDING

111
00:05:36,636 --> 00:05:37,970
THE JUMPSTART RESERVES AND HOW 

112
00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:40,273
THEY ARE FUNDED. WE ARE 

113
00:05:40,273 --> 00:05:41,274
SUSPENDING THE PAYMENT FOR NEXT 

114
00:05:41,274 --> 00:05:43,676
YEAR, BUT WE'RE NOT TAKING FROM

115
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:45,511
THE JUMPSTART RESERVE, AND WE'RE

116
00:05:45,511 --> 00:05:47,714
JUST NOT ADDING TO IT. AND 

117
00:05:47,714 --> 00:05:49,649
COLLEAGUES, AS YOU MAY REMEMBER,

118
00:05:49,649 --> 00:05:51,484
IN THE REVENUE FORECAST THIS 

119
00:05:51,484 --> 00:05:54,420
YEAR, WE HAD A VERY FLAT LINED 

120
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:56,656
ECONOMY. IT WASN'T GOING UP. IT

121
00:05:56,656 --> 00:05:57,490
WASN'T GOING DOWN IN THE PAST. 

122
00:05:57,490 --> 00:06:00,893
IT'S BEEN GOING UP. THIS IS 

123
00:06:00,893 --> 00:06:02,829
WHAT RESERVE ACCOUNTS ARE FOR. 

124
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,097
WHEN THE ECONOMY IS GOING DOWN. 

125
00:06:04,097 --> 00:06:06,299
WE NEED TO USE THEM WHEN THE 

126
00:06:06,299 --> 00:06:07,867
ECONOMY IS GOING UP. WE NEED TO 

127
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,602
ADD TO THEM BECAUSE THE ECONOMY 

128
00:06:09,602 --> 00:06:11,671
IS FLAT RIGHT NOW. THAT 

129
00:06:11,671 --> 00:06:13,806
SUSPENDED PAYMENT IS THE ONLY 

130
00:06:13,806 --> 00:06:16,743
RESERVE MONEY THAT WAS USED TO 

131
00:06:16,743 --> 00:06:17,577
BALANCE THIS BUDGET. THE 

132
00:06:17,577 --> 00:06:19,479
CONTINUUM OF CARE RESERVE IS 

133
00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:21,981
FULLY FUNDED, IS FUNDED. THE 

134
00:06:21,981 --> 00:06:23,516
FEDERAL RESERVE IS FUNDED, THE 

135
00:06:23,516 --> 00:06:27,220
RAINY DAY RESERVE IS FUNDED. THE

136
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:29,856
EMERGENCY FUND IS IS FUNDED. THE

137
00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:31,691
JUMPSTART RESERVE IS STILL 

138
00:06:31,691 --> 00:06:32,391
INTACT WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY 

139
00:06:32,391 --> 00:06:35,528
THAT WAS PUT IN THIS YEAR. THOSE

140
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:36,929
ARE KIND OF MY HIGH LEVEL 

141
00:06:36,929 --> 00:06:37,930
HIGHLIGHTS. I'LL LET I'LL TURN

142
00:06:37,930 --> 00:06:39,031
THIS OVER TO CENTRAL STAFF TO 

143
00:06:39,031 --> 00:06:41,401
WALK US THROUGH WHERE WE ARE IN 

144
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:43,436
THE BUDGET AND WHERE WE'RE 

145
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:45,171
GOING, AND JUST AS A REMINDER, 

146
00:06:45,171 --> 00:06:48,207
TODAY, CENTRAL STAFF WILL BE 

147
00:06:48,207 --> 00:06:52,445
HIGHLIGHTING ALL OF THE ITEMS IN

148
00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:53,579
THE BALANCING PACKAGE IF WE'VE 

149
00:06:53,579 --> 00:06:55,281
DISCUSSED THEM AT LENGTH IN THE 

150
00:06:55,281 --> 00:06:56,649
PAST, WE WON'T BE GOING INTO 

151
00:06:56,649 --> 00:07:00,119
THEM IN DEPTH TODAY. BUT IF 

152
00:07:00,119 --> 00:07:00,753
SOMETHING SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED,

153
00:07:00,753 --> 00:07:03,289
THAT'S WHEN CENTRAL STAFF WILL 

154
00:07:03,289 --> 00:07:05,725
SHARE WHAT THOSE CHANGES ARE. I 

155
00:07:05,725 --> 00:07:08,394
ALSO REALLY APPRECIATED 

156
00:07:08,394 --> 00:07:08,995
EVERYONE'S ABILITY FOR THE 

157
00:07:08,995 --> 00:07:11,731
GENERAL PUBLIC. I MET WITH 

158
00:07:11,731 --> 00:07:12,298
COUNCILMEMBERS ON MONDAY TO 

159
00:07:12,298 --> 00:07:14,667
SHARE WITH THEM WHICH OF THEIR 

160
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:16,602
PRIORITIES ARE IN THIS CHAIR'S 

161
00:07:16,602 --> 00:07:18,004
BALANCING PACKAGE. AT THAT TIME,

162
00:07:18,004 --> 00:07:20,506
I ALSO SAID IF YOU NEED TO MAKE 

163
00:07:20,506 --> 00:07:23,075
CHANGES TO WHAT'S IN THERE, GO 

164
00:07:23,075 --> 00:07:24,076
AHEAD AND MAKE CHANGES BEFORE WE

165
00:07:24,076 --> 00:07:26,112
SUBMIT AND PUBLISH TODAY'S 

166
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:27,413
AGENDA. DUE TO THAT, THERE MIGHT

167
00:07:27,413 --> 00:07:28,648
BE SOME CHANGES IN THIS CHAIR'S

168
00:07:28,648 --> 00:07:29,849
PACKAGE THAT EVEN I'M NOT AWARE

169
00:07:29,849 --> 00:07:32,652
OF. AND SO I JUST WANT TO THANK 

170
00:07:32,652 --> 00:07:33,286
COLLEAGUES FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP 

171
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:36,689
IN THIS OF THIS CHAIR'S PACKAGE

172
00:07:36,689 --> 00:07:38,891
REALLY REPRESENTS ALL OF OUR 

173
00:07:38,891 --> 00:07:39,525
WORK TOGETHER TO MEET THE NEEDS 

174
00:07:39,525 --> 00:07:42,562
OF SEATTLEITES, BECAUSE EACH OF 

175
00:07:42,562 --> 00:07:45,097
US EITHER REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT

176
00:07:45,097 --> 00:07:47,400
DISTRICT OR, OR A CITY WIDE AND 

177
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,768
DIFFERENT CONSTITUENCIES. AND 

178
00:07:48,768 --> 00:07:49,735
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE WE ARE 

179
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:50,837
ELECTED BY DISTRICTS, IT'S ALL 

180
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:52,505
OF OUR JOB TO REPRESENT THE 

181
00:07:52,505 --> 00:07:53,873
ENTIRE CITY. AND I SEE THAT 

182
00:07:53,873 --> 00:07:56,242
THROUGH THE PROPOSALS THAT YOU 

183
00:07:56,242 --> 00:07:58,044
BROUGHT TO COUNCIL LAST WEEK. 

184
00:07:58,044 --> 00:07:59,879

AMENDMENTS ALL AT ONCE IN ONE 

277
00:11:20,746 --> 00:11:23,382
VOTE, RATHER THAN SAYING YES OR 

278
00:11:23,382 --> 00:11:26,519
NO 150 TIMES. FROM THERE, WE 

279
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:28,921
WILL VOTE ON IN GROUP B ITEMS. 

280
00:11:28,921 --> 00:11:30,189
COUNCILMEMBERS HAVE ASKED TO BE 

281
00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:32,425
PULLED FOR INDIVIDUAL VOTES. 

282
00:11:32,425 --> 00:11:34,827
THIS IS WHAT WE AS CENTRAL STAFF

283
00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:36,796
AND MY OFFICE NEEDS TO KNOW 

284
00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:39,398
BEFORE TUESDAY. IF YOU WOULD 

285
00:11:39,398 --> 00:11:40,533
LIKE AN ITEM PULLED FOR AN 

286
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:42,134
INDIVIDUAL VOTE, ALL IT TAKES IS

287
00:11:42,134 --> 00:11:42,835
ONE COUNCILMEMBER SAYING I WANT 

288
00:11:42,835 --> 00:11:44,036
IT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL VOTE AND 

289
00:11:44,036 --> 00:11:46,238
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

290
00:11:46,238 --> 00:11:48,707
AND THEN AS GROUP C, WHICH ARE 

291
00:11:48,707 --> 00:11:50,309
AMENDMENTS THAT ARE IN CONFLICT 

292
00:11:50,309 --> 00:11:52,178
WITH EACH OTHER, WHAT I SEE AS 

293
00:11:52,178 --> 00:11:56,115
THE LIKELIHOOD IS SAME SOURCE OF

294
00:11:56,115 --> 00:11:57,116
FUNDING. FOLKS ARE LOOKING FOR 

295
00:11:57,116 --> 00:11:59,318
THE SAME SOURCE OF FUNDING. THIS

296
00:11:59,318 --> 00:12:01,020
IS CRITICAL THAT ON MONDAY, WHEN

297
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:02,121
YOU TURN IN YOUR BUDGET 

298
00:12:02,121 --> 00:12:04,223
AMENDMENTS, THAT YOU HAVE 

299
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:04,757
IDENTIFIED THE SOURCE OF 

300
00:12:04,757 --> 00:12:08,060
FUNDING. SO WITH THE BUDGET, WE 

301
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:09,462
HAVE GROUP A, THE CONSENT 

302
00:12:09,462 --> 00:12:10,963
PACKAGE, GROUP B, INDIVIDUAL 

303
00:12:10,963 --> 00:12:12,698
VOTES, AND GROUP C IN CONFLICT 

304
00:12:12,698 --> 00:12:15,234
WITH EACH OTHER. FROM THERE, THE

305
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:16,836
NEXT GROUP IS ALL OF THE BUDGET 

306
00:12:16,836 --> 00:12:19,472
LEGISLATION THAT DOES NOT HAVE 

307
00:12:19,472 --> 00:12:21,140
AMENDMENTS WILL TAKE IN ONE 

308
00:12:21,140 --> 00:12:23,542
VOTE. AND THEN FROM THERE, EACH 

309
00:12:23,542 --> 00:12:25,277
INDIVIDUAL BUDGET PIECE OF 

310
00:12:25,277 --> 00:12:26,645
BUDGET LEGISLATION THAT HAS AN 

311
00:12:26,645 --> 00:12:28,781
AMENDMENT WILL TAKE FROM THERE. 

312
00:12:28,781 --> 00:12:30,282
SO THAT'S THE FLOW OF EVENTS. 

313
00:12:30,282 --> 00:12:32,485
ALL THAT TO COME BACK TO TO SAY 

314
00:12:32,485 --> 00:12:33,753

00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:19,818
MORNING, COUNCILMEMBERS. SOME OF

405
00:15:19,818 --> 00:15:20,753
THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE HAD 

406
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:22,655
IS, HOW IS THE PACKAGE BALANCED?

407
00:15:22,655 --> 00:15:24,757
AND SO WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT 

408
00:15:24,757 --> 00:15:26,325
FOR YOU THE GENERAL FUND AND THE

409
00:15:26,325 --> 00:15:28,727
JUMPSTART FUND RESOURCES THAT 

410
00:15:28,727 --> 00:15:31,463
WERE USED CURRENTLY, THE 

411
00:15:31,463 --> 00:15:33,499
CHAIR'S BALANCING PACKAGE RELIES

412
00:15:33,499 --> 00:15:35,234
ON GENERAL FUND BALANCE. THIS IS

413
00:15:35,234 --> 00:15:37,102
THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE OVER THE 

414
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:40,673
BIENNIUM. SO FOR 27 AND 28, IT 

415
00:15:40,673 --> 00:15:43,042
IS 1.5 MILLION OF GENERAL FUND 

416
00:15:43,042 --> 00:15:43,676
BALANCE AND ANOTHER 7.8 MILLION 

417
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:46,445
OF REVENUE FORECASTS THAT WAS 

418
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:47,513
PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL. WELL, 

419
00:15:47,513 --> 00:15:49,715
TO THE FORECAST COUNCIL. AND A 

420
00:15:49,715 --> 00:15:52,751
COUPLE WEEKS AGO, THERE IS 1.1 

421
00:15:52,751 --> 00:15:56,755
MILLION IN THE ERRATA. THERE IS 

422
00:15:56,755 --> 00:15:59,658
A PROPOSAL FOR A NEW. 0.01% 

423
00:15:59,658 --> 00:16:01,393
SALES TAX, WHICH IS. ESSENTIALLY

424
00:16:01,393 --> 00:16:04,396
THE SHARE OF THE KING COUNTY TAX

425
00:16:04,396 --> 00:16:05,564
THAT GOES INTO EFFECT ON JANUARY

426
00:16:05,564 --> 00:16:10,235
1st. SO IT IS NOT A NEW TAX FOR 

427
00:16:10,235 --> 00:16:10,803
TAXPAYERS, BUT IT WOULD BE 

428
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:11,971
CLAIMING THE CITY'S SHARE OF 

429
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,672
THAT SALES TAX. AND THEN, AS THE

430
00:16:13,672 --> 00:16:15,607
CHAIR MENTIONED, THERE IS A 

431
00:16:15,607 --> 00:16:19,144
REDUCTION OF ABOUT 22 MILLION 

432
00:16:19,144 --> 00:16:21,747

THE FIREFIGHTERS PENSION FUND 

434
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:26,218
STABILIZATION RESERVE, AND THEN 

435
00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:28,153
SEPARATELY FROM JUMPSTART FUND, 

436
00:16:28,153 --> 00:16:29,154
WE HAVE 10 MILLION FROM THE 

437
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:31,190
REVENUE FORECAST. WE HAVE 13 

438
00:16:31,190 --> 00:16:33,892
MILLION FROM AN OFF CYCLE 

439
00:16:33,892 --> 00:16:35,060
PAYROLL EXPENSE TAX PAYMENT. AND

440
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:36,228
THEN I'M SORRY, THIS IS THE ONE

441
00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:37,629
THAT IS RELATED TO WHAT THE 

442
00:16:37,629 --> 00:16:40,032
CHAIR MENTIONED. THE REDUCTION 

443
00:16:40,032 --> 00:16:42,668
IN THE JUMPSTART RATE 

444
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:43,235
STABILIZATION ACCOUNT, 19.1 

445
00:16:43,235 --> 00:16:44,903
MILLION. THE JUMPSTART RATE 

446
00:16:44,903 --> 00:16:46,038
STABILIZATION ACCOUNT REMAINS 

447
00:16:46,038 --> 00:16:47,639
FUNDED AT $20 MILLION. AND THAT 

448
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:50,943
IS PERSISTENT IN 27 AND 28. AND 

449
00:16:50,943 --> 00:16:52,277
THE CHAIR'S PACKAGE DOES NOT 

450
00:16:52,277 --> 00:16:52,911
IMPACT THE EMERGENCY FUND, THE 

451
00:16:52,911 --> 00:16:54,680

00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,615

THE OTHER MAJOR REVENUE ISSUES

00:17:02,554 --> 00:17:04,390
WAS THE DECREASE IN REAL ESTATE 

456
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:06,492
EXCISE TAX. THE OCTOBER FORECAST

457
00:17:06,492 --> 00:17:07,993
WAS DOWN ALMOST 20 MILLION. THE 

458
00:17:07,993 --> 00:17:09,128
CHAIR'S PROPOSAL DOES DEAL WITH

459
00:17:09,128 --> 00:17:12,564
THIS ISSUE AS WELL. IT USES 10 

460
00:17:12,564 --> 00:17:14,466
MILLION OF REVENUES OR RESERVES.

461
00:17:14,466 --> 00:17:17,403

MILLION OVER THE BIENNIUM. AND 

465
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:25,611
IT. ELIMINATES REAL ESTATE 

466

467
00:17:27,646 --> 00:17:29,081
SHELTER 5.7 MILLION. THIS 

468
00:17:29,081 --> 00:17:30,115

469
00:17:30,115 --> 00:17:32,050

549
00:20:57,723 --> 00:20:59,891
-- COMPLETED. 

550
00:20:59,891 --> 00:21:02,094
-- SO WE NEED ALL OF THOSE 

551
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:03,595
AMENDMENTS TO BE COMPLETE. WE 

552
00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:05,497
NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE 

553
00:21:05,497 --> 00:21:06,398
PROPOSING, WHERE THE FUNDING IS 

554
00:21:06,398 --> 00:21:08,200
COMING FROM. IF IT'S AN 

555
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,569
INCREASE IN FUNDING BECAUSE WE 

556
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:12,137
HAVE BASICALLY A DAY TO TURN 

557
00:21:12,137 --> 00:21:15,307
THEM AROUND AND GET THEM READY 

558
00:21:15,307 --> 00:21:15,507
FOR. 

559
00:21:15,507 --> 00:21:17,409
-- AN AGENDA. AND DIRECTOR, I'LL

560
00:21:17,409 --> 00:21:19,011
JUST ALSO ADD IN THE BALANCING 

561
00:21:19,011 --> 00:21:23,749
PACKAGE, THERE IS LITTLE TO NO 

562
00:21:23,749 --> 00:21:24,316
ADDITIONAL ROOM FOR ONGOING 

563
00:21:24,316 --> 00:21:27,052
FUNDING. SO A LOT OF THESE 

564
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:28,353
PROPOSALS ARE ONE TIME FUNDS. I 

565
00:21:28,353 --> 00:21:30,722
KNOW THAT SOME COLLEAGUES I 

566
00:21:30,722 --> 00:21:31,356
PROVIDED ONE TIME FUNDING, AND 

567
00:21:31,356 --> 00:21:32,290
YOU'VE ALREADY SPLIT IT OVER A 

568
00:21:32,290 --> 00:21:36,395
NUMBER OF YEARS. I JUST NOTE 

569
00:21:36,395 --> 00:21:38,130
THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD INTO 

570
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:39,064
THIS PART OF THE BUDGET, THE 

571
00:21:39,064 --> 00:21:40,632
DIFFICULT PART WILL BE FINDING 

572
00:21:40,632 --> 00:21:42,100
THE ONGOING FUNDING. AND JUST 

573
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:43,402
WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT, BE 

574
00:21:43,402 --> 00:21:47,172
TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT, AS WELL AS

575
00:21:47,172 --> 00:21:49,775
IF AN AMENDMENT DOES NOT DOES 

576
00:21:49,775 --> 00:21:52,044
TAKE US OUT OF FINANCIAL BALANCE

577
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:53,912
IN THE FOUR YEAR CYCLE, IT WILL 

578
00:21:53,912 --> 00:21:55,213
UNFORTUNATELY NOT BE AN 

579
00:21:55,213 --> 00:21:57,549
AMENDMENT THAT I CAN SUPPORT. SO

580
00:21:57,549 --> 00:21:59,618
JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT CLARITY 

581
00:21:59,618 --> 00:22:01,787
THERE. BACK TO YOU, DIRECTOR. 

582
00:22:01,787 --> 00:22:07,993

CULTURE, AND IT ENDS THE SUNSET 

662
00:25:14,246 --> 00:25:16,581
ON A CREATIVE PLACEMAKING 

663
00:25:16,581 --> 00:25:17,883
DIVISION DIRECTOR POSITION IN 

664
00:25:17,883 --> 00:25:19,918

00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,489
CONTINUE ON, I JUST WANT TO 

667
00:25:24,489 --> 00:25:25,056
FIRST ADDRESS THE CREATIVE 

668
00:25:25,056 --> 00:25:26,658
PLACEMAKING ARTS DIRECTOR, AS 

669
00:25:26,658 --> 00:25:28,059
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I MADE A 

670
00:25:28,059 --> 00:25:30,428
CHANGE ON, WHICH IS WHEN WE 

671
00:25:30,428 --> 00:25:31,129
LOOKED CLEARLY AT THE ARTS 

672
00:25:31,129 --> 00:25:34,332
BUDGET, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT

673
00:25:34,332 --> 00:25:35,166
WE ARE ADDING NEARLY, I THINK, 

674
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:38,303
FOUR AND A HALF TO $5 MILLION TO

675
00:25:38,303 --> 00:25:40,872
THE OFFICE OF ARTS AND CULTURE 

676
00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:42,807
TODAY FROM THE GENERAL FUND THAT

677
00:25:42,807 --> 00:25:44,476
THEY'RE STAFFING. AND THIS IS 

678
00:25:44,476 --> 00:25:45,076
SOMETHING THAT COUNCILMEMBER 

679
00:25:45,076 --> 00:25:45,844
RIVERA HAS BEEN BRINGING UP FOR 

680
00:25:45,844 --> 00:25:48,280
YEARS ABOUT TERM LIMITED STAFF 

681
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,283
THERE. AND THERE'S CURRENTLY A 

682
00:25:51,283 --> 00:25:53,351
QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT THE 

683
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:56,121
STAFFING IS CORRECT TO CONTINUE 

684
00:25:56,121 --> 00:25:57,722
THE WORK. FOR INSTANCE, THIS 

685
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:00,292
DIVISION DIRECTOR IS IN CHARGE 

686
00:26:00,292 --> 00:26:01,960
OF THE WORK THAT WAS DONE FOR 

687
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,963
THE FIFA WORLD CUP AND WAS 

688
00:26:04,963 --> 00:26:06,531
SCHEDULED TO STOP BECAUSE THE 

689
00:26:06,531 --> 00:26:08,366
WORLD CUP IS OVER AND WE'RE 

690
00:26:08,366 --> 00:26:10,201
ADDING A BUNCH MORE ARTS FUNDING

691
00:26:10,201 --> 00:26:11,670
IN INTO THE ARTS DEPARTMENT, 

692
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:13,238
BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN THE POSITIVE

693
00:26:13,238 --> 00:26:15,240
IMPACT OF PLACEMAKING AND 

694
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,110
VIBRANCY THAT THEY CREATE. SO 

695
00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:19,711
THIS ESSENTIALLY JUST EXTENDS 

696
00:26:19,711 --> 00:26:20,612
THE SUNSET ON THAT DIVISION 

697
00:26:20,612 --> 00:26:23,882

I DON'T THINK I KNOW, I DON'T 

706
00:26:37,829 --> 00:26:39,531
KNOW ANYONE WHO DOESN'T SUPPORT

707
00:26:39,531 --> 00:26:43,301
IN GENERAL ARTS AND CULTURE AT 

708
00:26:43,301 --> 00:26:45,303
THE CITY, SO MUCH SO THAT WE 

709
00:26:45,303 --> 00:26:47,772
ACTUALLY DO HAVE. IT'S THE ONLY

710
00:26:47,772 --> 00:26:49,240
DEPARTMENT THAT I KNOW OF THAT 

711
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,709
HAS A DEDICATED FUNDING SOURCE 

712
00:26:50,709 --> 00:26:53,845
TO ADD TAX. SO THAT SAID, THIS 

713
00:26:53,845 --> 00:26:56,047
IS A SIZABLE. INCREASE TO THE. 

714
00:26:56,047 --> 00:26:56,414
-- DEPARTMENT. 

715
00:26:56,414 --> 00:27:00,051

THIS DEPARTMENT HAS A PRETTY 

718
00:27:03,655 --> 00:27:07,258
BIG. 

719
00:27:07,258 --> 00:27:07,559
-- BUDGET. 

720
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:10,495

AMOUNT OF FUNDING TO THIS 

722
00:27:13,531 --> 00:27:14,332
DEPARTMENT INHIBITS US FROM 

723
00:27:14,332 --> 00:27:16,401
BEING ABLE TO DO SOME OTHER 

724
00:27:16,401 --> 00:27:17,902
THINGS. SO I GUESS I JUST HAVE 

725
00:27:17,902 --> 00:27:23,408
SOME QUESTIONS. ABOUT THIS. 

726
00:27:23,408 --> 00:27:25,877
PARTICULAR AD RATHER THAN. 

727
00:27:25,877 --> 00:27:27,412

OFTEN ALL DEPARTMENTS AT THE END

730
00:27:31,850 --> 00:27:33,652
OF THE YEAR OFTEN HAVE. 

731
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:35,687
-- UNDERSPEND. 

732
00:27:35,687 --> 00:27:37,255
-- AND SO I JUST IT JUST IT'S A

733
00:27:37,255 --> 00:27:38,890
SIZABLE. 

734
00:27:38,890 --> 00:27:39,290
-- CONTRIBUTION, 

735
00:27:39,290 --> 00:27:39,691
NOTWITHSTANDING. 

736
00:27:39,691 --> 00:27:40,358
-- THE FACT THAT WE ALL CARE 

737
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:42,861
ABOUT ARTS SO MUCH IN THE 

738
00:27:42,861 --> 00:27:46,031
CONTEXT OF OUR INABILITY TO DO 

739
00:27:46,031 --> 00:27:47,065
SO MANY OTHER THINGS. AND I KNOW

740
00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:50,035
THAT WE ALL CARE ABOUT. AND WE 

741
00:27:50,035 --> 00:27:51,469
ALL PROBABLY ADDED THINGS THAT 

742
00:27:51,469 --> 00:27:53,071
DIDN'T MAKE IT IN BECAUSE WE 

743
00:27:53,071 --> 00:27:55,240
JUST DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING. SO

744
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,642
I JUST WANTED TO. ACKNOWLEDGE 

745
00:27:57,642 --> 00:27:59,711
THAT DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE DO

746
00:27:59,711 --> 00:28:01,079
LOVE ARTS, AND I'M GLAD AND I 

747
00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:03,381
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN GRATEFUL THAT 

748
00:28:03,381 --> 00:28:04,416
WE HAVE THIS DEDICATED FUND 

749
00:28:04,416 --> 00:28:06,451
SOURCE. THEY DO, WHICH MEANS IT 

750
00:28:06,451 --> 00:28:09,187
INSULATES THEM FROM A LOT. BUT 

751
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,522
OTHER. DEPARTMENTS DON'T. AND 

752
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:12,590
SO I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT 

753
00:28:12,590 --> 00:28:14,926
AND NOTE THE SIZABLE INCREASE 

754
00:28:14,926 --> 00:28:18,363
FOR HOPE CORE IN GENERAL FOR 

755
00:28:18,363 --> 00:28:20,665
JUST ONE THING. SO 

756
00:28:20,665 --> 00:28:22,133
-- ANYWAY, THANK YOU, CHAIR. I 

757
00:28:22,133 --> 00:28:23,902

ERRATA IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET. 

795
00:29:55,660 --> 00:29:57,896
IN PARTICULAR, THERE IS A 

796
00:29:57,896 --> 00:30:00,465
CORRECTION TO THE AMOUNT OF 

797
00:30:00,465 --> 00:30:03,635

798
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,036
DEMOCRACY VOUCHERS NEXT YEAR DUE

799
00:30:05,036 --> 00:30:08,973
TO AN ERROR. THE PROPOSED BUDGET

800
00:30:08,973 --> 00:30:11,943
DIDN'T REFLECT THAT THERE'S AN

801
00:30:11,943 --> 00:30:12,377
ELECTION FOR SEVEN 

802
00:30:12,377 --> 00:30:13,211

804
00:30:17,282 --> 00:30:19,517
THAT IS ADJUSTED TO BETTER 

805
00:30:19,517 --> 00:30:19,784
REFLECT. 

806
00:30:19,784 --> 00:30:21,553

00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:22,754
YOU. BEFORE WE MOVE ON. JUST

QUESTIONS COMMENTS. CBO FIVE B 

810
00:30:27,725 --> 00:30:29,661
IS, AS I'VE DISCUSSED IN THE 

811
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:31,329
PAST, ANY POSITION, ANY STAFF 

812
00:30:31,329 --> 00:30:33,198
THAT ARE SUBJECT TO LAYOFF, THAT

813
00:30:33,198 --> 00:30:33,932
WE WERE NOT ABLE TO PRESERVE 

814
00:30:33,932 --> 00:30:37,468
THEIR JOBS. WE WERE ABLE TO 

815
00:30:37,468 --> 00:30:39,370
PRESERVE TWO JOBS FOR EVERYONE 

816
00:30:39,370 --> 00:30:42,273
ELSE. THIS IS THE ADDITIONAL 

817
00:30:42,273 --> 00:30:44,709
EMPLOYMENT TIME TO GET THEM 

818
00:30:44,709 --> 00:30:45,810
THROUGH TO JUNE 30th. I, FOR A 

819
00:30:45,810 --> 00:30:48,580
NUMBER OF REASONS, JUST I MEAN, 

820
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:50,048
TO GIVE PEOPLE MORE STABILITY TO

821
00:30:50,048 --> 00:30:51,683
FIND A NEW JOB ALSO SO THAT 

822
00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:54,319
WE'RE NOT LAYING PEOPLE OFF ON 

823
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:56,688
NEW YEARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 

824
00:30:56,688 --> 00:30:58,122
DARK DURING A HOLIDAY SEASON. 

825
00:30:58,122 --> 00:30:59,857
THERE'S JUST SO MANY REASONS TO

826
00:30:59,857 --> 00:31:02,060
DO THIS. AND IT'S BECAUSE EACH 

827
00:31:02,060 --> 00:31:04,095
OF THESE IT'S 13 FTE ON THIS 

828
00:31:04,095 --> 00:31:07,699
PIECE OF PAPER. BUT THOSE ARE 13

829
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:09,200
FAMILIES. THAT'S 13 MORTGAGES 

830
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,769
OR RENT. THAT'S 13 SETS OF 

831
00:31:11,769 --> 00:31:14,138
GROCERIES. THESE ARE PEOPLE. AND

832
00:31:14,138 --> 00:31:15,139
WE NEED TO DO OUR BEST TO TAKE 

833
00:31:15,139 --> 00:31:16,774
CARE OF THEM BECAUSE THEY'VE 

834
00:31:16,774 --> 00:31:19,611
SERVED OUR CITY WELL. AND IT'S 

835
00:31:19,611 --> 00:31:20,245
THE HARDEST DECISION THAT WE CAN

836
00:31:20,245 --> 00:31:22,247
MAKE TO LAY OFF CITY EMPLOYEES 

837
00:31:22,247 --> 00:31:23,615
BECAUSE UNLIKE THE PRIVATE 

838
00:31:23,615 --> 00:31:25,583
SECTOR THAT IS ACCUSTOMED TO 

839
00:31:25,583 --> 00:31:27,919
REGULAR LAYOFFS AND HIGH PAY, 

840
00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:30,321
CITY WORKERS ARE HERE TO SERVE 

841
00:31:30,321 --> 00:31:32,123
THE PUBLIC FOR THE THIRD BOTTOM 

842
00:31:32,123 --> 00:31:35,460
LINE, AS WELL AS BECAUSE CITY 

843
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:36,060
GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENTS OF 

844
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:38,696
ALL TYPES RARELY LAY FOLKS OFF. 

845
00:31:38,696 --> 00:31:40,265
SO JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE 

846
00:31:40,265 --> 00:31:41,366
FOR THEIR SERVICE. AND IT'S WITH

847
00:31:41,366 --> 00:31:45,270
A HEAVY HEART THAT SOME OF THESE

848
00:31:45,270 --> 00:31:45,937
ACTIONS ARE OCCURRING. ANY OTHER

849
00:31:45,937 --> 00:31:46,971
COMMENTS? I SEE 

850
00:31:46,971 --> 00:31:50,108
-- COUNCIL VICE CHAIR RIVERA. 

851
00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:52,677
THANK YOU, CHAIR. YOU KNOW, I 

852
00:31:52,677 --> 00:31:56,080
WONDER IF SD HR IS ABLE TO, AND 

853
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,415
I'VE OFTEN WONDERED, AND I'VE 

854
00:31:57,415 --> 00:32:00,385
BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE, BUT ABLE

855
00:32:00,385 --> 00:32:03,221
TO, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE HAVE 

856
00:32:03,221 --> 00:32:04,989
POSITIONS ACROSS THE CITY THAT 

857
00:32:04,989 --> 00:32:07,892
WE CAN THEN, YOU KNOW, TRANSFER 

858
00:32:07,892 --> 00:32:10,128
FOLKS OVER TO. AND SO I WONDER 

859
00:32:10,128 --> 00:32:13,164
WHETHER THERE IS AN. OPPORTUNITY

860
00:32:13,164 --> 00:32:15,500
HERE FOR THESE FOLKS. AND JUST 

861
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:16,601
IN GENERAL, WHEN BECAUSE THIS 

862
00:32:16,601 --> 00:32:18,002
HAS COME UP BEFORE IN THE 

863
00:32:18,002 --> 00:32:20,338
CONTEXT OF THE LAST THREE YEARS,

864
00:32:20,338 --> 00:32:22,840
IF WE'RE, YOU KNOW, HOW HOW CAN

865
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,777
WE PARTNER WITH HR SO THEY CAN 

866
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:27,312
PROVIDE SUPPORT TO FOLKS AND 

867
00:32:27,312 --> 00:32:28,813
MAYBE THERE ARE. POSITIONS IN 

868
00:32:28,813 --> 00:32:31,783
THE CITY THAT WE CAN TRANSFER 

869
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:33,418
FOLKS TO, OR MAYBE THERE'S SOME

870
00:32:33,418 --> 00:32:35,186
KIND OF CONNECTION POINT WE CAN 

871
00:32:35,186 --> 00:32:37,889
MAKE TO HELP FOLKS, YOU KNOW, 

872
00:32:37,889 --> 00:32:39,757
FIND JOBS. SO THAT'S THE PIECE 

873
00:32:39,757 --> 00:32:41,993
WHERE I'M WONDERING IS NOT 

874
00:32:41,993 --> 00:32:42,994
CONTAINED IN HERE AS PART OF 

875
00:32:42,994 --> 00:32:46,030
THIS, BUT I OFTEN THINK IF WE'RE

876
00:32:46,030 --> 00:32:48,933
ABLE TO HELP FOLKS FIND A. 

877
00:32:48,933 --> 00:32:51,102
POSITION WITHIN THE CITY, IT 

878
00:32:51,102 --> 00:32:53,871
EVEN MATTERS MORE THAN A. 

879
00:32:53,871 --> 00:32:54,439
TEMPORARY PIECE. ALTHOUGH I 

880
00:32:54,439 --> 00:32:55,239
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO

881
00:32:55,239 --> 00:32:59,010
DO, CHAIR, BUT I DO THINK THAT I

882
00:32:59,010 --> 00:33:00,345
HAVE SEEN THIS ACROSS THE CITY, 

883
00:33:00,345 --> 00:33:02,847
FOLKS MOVING AROUND. AND WHEN 

884
00:33:02,847 --> 00:33:03,147
THERE ARE. 

885
00:33:03,147 --> 00:33:04,749
-- VACANCIES. 

886
00:33:04,749 --> 00:33:06,818
-- FOLKS BEING ABLE TO BE 

887
00:33:06,818 --> 00:33:08,119
OFFERED THOSE. SO ANYWAY, I JUST

888
00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:09,687
WANT TO NOTE THAT HERE AS WELL, 

889
00:33:09,687 --> 00:33:11,489
BECAUSE IT'S. IMPORTANT AND 

890
00:33:11,489 --> 00:33:13,291
WE'VE DONE THAT FOR OTHER 

891
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:15,526
POSITIONS IN THE PAST. AND I 

892
00:33:15,526 --> 00:33:17,362
WONDER WHETHER THERE'S AN. 

893
00:33:17,362 --> 00:33:18,830
-- OPPORTUNITY HERE. THANK YOU. 

894
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:21,132
THANK YOU. VERY WELL SAID. VICE 

895
00:33:21,132 --> 00:33:22,233
CHAIR. TWO YEARS AGO, WHEN WE 

896
00:33:22,233 --> 00:33:23,968
LAID OFF EMPLOYEES FOR THE FIRST

897
00:33:23,968 --> 00:33:26,771
TIME SINCE 2008, WE, AS PART OF 

898
00:33:26,771 --> 00:33:28,973
OUR BUDGET REFORM WORK HERE, WE 

899
00:33:28,973 --> 00:33:30,441
COMPLETE. WE REQUESTED A 

900
00:33:30,441 --> 00:33:32,777
STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT 

901
00:33:32,777 --> 00:33:36,180
FROM HR REGARDING THE PROJECT 

902
00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:38,816
HIRE, WHICH IS THE GROUP THAT 

903
00:33:38,816 --> 00:33:40,118
REHIRES EMPLOYEES EITHER TRYING 

904
00:33:40,118 --> 00:33:41,652
TO CHANGE JOBS OR SUBJECT TO 

905
00:33:41,652 --> 00:33:43,388
LAYOFF. WE DID MAKE SOME 

906
00:33:43,388 --> 00:33:44,789
IMPROVEMENTS. ADDITIONAL 

907
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:46,190
IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED, AND SO 

908
00:33:46,190 --> 00:33:46,724
THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING I 

909
00:33:46,724 --> 00:33:48,826

-- I KNOW DON HAS PEA PATCH. 

977
00:35:58,422 --> 00:36:00,124
YOU'RE TOTALLY GREAT. YEAH. THE

978
00:36:00,124 --> 00:36:01,559
GOOD OLD PICARDO PATCHES. NO. SO

979
00:36:01,559 --> 00:36:04,395
THIS WAS THE COMMUNITY GARDENING

980
00:36:04,395 --> 00:36:07,498
PROJECT THAT'S DONE IN PARKING 

981
00:36:07,498 --> 00:36:10,201
STRIPS. AND THE NONPROFIT HAD 

982
00:36:10,201 --> 00:36:11,836
PARKING STRIP SPACE IN THE AREA,

983
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:13,204
WHICH THE SEATTLE PUBLIC 

984
00:36:13,204 --> 00:36:15,706
UTILITIES SHIP CANAL WATER 

985
00:36:15,706 --> 00:36:17,775
QUALITY PROJECT HAS TO WORK. AND

986
00:36:17,775 --> 00:36:20,711
SO THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE FIRST 

987
00:36:20,711 --> 00:36:22,113
TIME IN ALL OF THE SHIP CANAL 

988
00:36:22,113 --> 00:36:23,948
WATER QUALITY PROJECTS WORK OVER

989
00:36:23,948 --> 00:36:24,949
ALMOST A DECADE THAT THEY WERE 

990
00:36:24,949 --> 00:36:26,918
NOT ABLE TO MEET A COMMUNITY 

991
00:36:26,918 --> 00:36:28,386
NEED. AND SO THERE WAS NOT A NEW

992
00:36:28,386 --> 00:36:33,057
PLACE FOR THEM TO GO. AND SO 

993
00:36:33,057 --> 00:36:36,427
THIS, THIS PROPOSAL HERE IS 

994
00:36:36,427 --> 00:36:38,162
$40,000 ONE TIME FOR TWO YEARS 

995
00:36:38,162 --> 00:36:41,766
TO PAY THE RENT TO RATEPAYERS TO

996
00:36:41,766 --> 00:36:44,569
USE THE CITY OWNED SPACE. THE 

997
00:36:44,569 --> 00:36:48,873
NONPROFIT HAS GRANTS FOR THE 

998
00:36:48,873 --> 00:36:50,508
SOIL, IS GETTING IN-KIND 

999
00:36:50,508 --> 00:36:52,677
DONATIONS FOR SOIL DELIVERY, IS 

1000
00:36:52,677 --> 00:36:53,878
GETTING IN-KIND DONATIONS FOR 

1001
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:57,715
WOOD AND OTHER MATERIALS. AND SO

1002
00:36:57,715 --> 00:36:58,382
THEY'RE SELF-FUNDING THIS WHOLE

1003
00:36:58,382 --> 00:37:00,318
PROJECT. WHAT THEY JUST NEED IS 

1004
00:37:00,318 --> 00:37:03,554
LAND. THEY HAD LAND UNTIL WE 

1005
00:37:03,554 --> 00:37:04,155
NEEDED IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE. 

1006
00:37:04,155 --> 00:37:09,327
AND SO THIS IS JUST US PAYING 

1007
00:37:09,327 --> 00:37:09,894
RATEPAYERS THE RENT FOR THE 

1008
00:37:09,894 --> 00:37:11,696
COMMUNITY GARDENING NONPROFIT TO

1009
00:37:11,696 --> 00:37:14,599
OPERATE. SO NO OVERHEAD TO THE 

1010
00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:15,633
NONPROFIT, NOTHING ELSE. WE'RE 

1011
00:37:15,633 --> 00:37:17,201
JUST PAYING OURSELVES SO THAT 

1012
00:37:17,201 --> 00:37:19,837
THEY CAN USE THE SPACE. AND DID 

1013
00:37:19,837 --> 00:37:22,640
THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? 

1014
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,310
FANTASTIC. THANK YOU COLLEAGUES.

1015
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:27,912

1016
00:37:27,912 --> 00:37:29,880
LET'S MOVE ON TO FAS. AND THIS 

1017
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,849
ONE I SEE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE 

1018
00:37:31,849 --> 00:37:34,385
MY NAME BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A 

1019
00:37:34,385 --> 00:37:36,487
BUDGET COMMITTEE ITEM, BUT WE'LL

1020
00:37:36,487 --> 00:37:38,155
GET THAT CHANGED. AS YOU SEE, 

1021
00:37:38,155 --> 00:37:39,991
THIS IS WHY THE QUALITY 

1022

ASSURANCE WORK BETWEEN THE 16th 

1023
00:37:41,459 --> 00:37:44,128
AND THE 19th IS CRITICAL, AND 

1024
00:37:44,128 --> 00:37:45,596
WHY NO AMENDMENTS WILL BE 

1025
00:37:45,596 --> 00:37:46,197
ACCEPTED AFTER THE AMENDMENT 

1026
00:37:46,197 --> 00:37:53,804

1034

IS REALLY TECHNICAL AND JUST FOR

1035
00:38:11,889 --> 00:38:16,527
BALANCING AS IS 903, A 904, A 

1036
00:38:16,527 --> 00:38:18,195
905 A. THESE ARE ALL ONES THAT 

1037
00:38:18,195 --> 00:38:19,764
ARE MAKING THE TECHNICAL 

1038
00:38:19,764 --> 00:38:20,765
ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE THE BALANCE.

1039
00:38:20,765 --> 00:38:24,101
-- WORK

00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:26,804
THERE ARE ANY. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

1042
00:38:26,804 --> 00:38:31,108
LET ME SPEAK TO THE FUNDING 

1043
00:38:31,108 --> 00:38:32,209
FIRST. JUST THAT THERE LAST, WE 

1044
00:38:32,209 --> 00:38:37,048
DID NOT BRING VRAP AMENDMENTS TO

1045
00:38:37,048 --> 00:38:39,884
THE AMENDMENT PROCESS BECAUSE WE

1046
00:38:39,884 --> 00:38:41,686
WERE IN DIALOG WITH THE MAYOR'S

1047
00:38:41,686 --> 00:38:45,356
OFFICE ABOUT HOW TO BEST USE THE

1048
00:38:45,356 --> 00:38:45,923
MONEY. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY 

1049
00:38:45,923 --> 00:38:47,858
WEREN'T AVAILABLE TO MEET UNTIL

1050
00:38:47,858 --> 00:38:51,962
I BELIEVE IT WAS LAST FRIDAY. WE

1051
00:38:51,962 --> 00:38:54,098
MET LAST FRIDAY AND OUTLINED A 

1052
00:38:54,098 --> 00:38:55,866
PLAN TOGETHER WITH CBO AND THE 

1053
00:38:55,866 --> 00:38:57,768
MAYOR'S OFFICE AND CENTRAL 

1054
00:38:57,768 --> 00:39:02,807
STAFF FOR HOW TO USE THIS 

1055
00:39:02,807 --> 00:39:03,908
FUNDING AND. THEN OVER THE 

1056
00:39:03,908 --> 00:39:06,677
WEEKEND, THE MAYOR DECIDED TO 

1057
00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:08,045
VETO THE LEGISLATION. WE'VE HAD

1058
00:39:08,045 --> 00:39:09,580
AN INTERESTING WEEK. ALL THAT TO

1059
00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:13,417
SAY, THE AMENDMENT THAT YOU SEE 

1060
00:39:13,417 --> 00:39:16,587
HERE IN THE CHAIR'S PACKAGE WAS

1061
00:39:16,587 --> 00:39:19,523
AN AMENDMENT THAT HAD BEEN 

1062
00:39:19,523 --> 00:39:20,157
CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE 

1063
00:39:20,157 --> 00:39:23,127
CBO AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. 

1064
00:39:23,127 --> 00:39:24,729
CLEARLY, IF THE VETO IS TO BE 

1065
00:39:24,729 --> 00:39:26,330
SUSTAINED, WE'LL NEED TO MOVE 

1066
00:39:26,330 --> 00:39:32,236
ALL OF THE FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN

1067
00:39:32,236 --> 00:39:32,870
ALLOCATED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES,

1068
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:36,107
WILL NEED TO MOVE THAT ALL INTO 

1069
00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:36,607
ONE LOCATION FOR PROPER 

1070
00:39:36,607 --> 00:39:38,476
DISBURSEMENT. AND I SAY THAT 

1071
00:39:38,476 --> 00:39:43,781
BECAUSE EVEN TODAY, NONE OF THE 

1072
00:39:43,781 --> 00:39:45,983
FUNDING TO SUPPORT VEHICLE 

1073
00:39:45,983 --> 00:39:47,351
RESIDENCY HAS GONE OUT THE DOOR.

1074
00:39:47,351 --> 00:39:49,120
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS 

1075
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,321
FOR MONTHS. THERE'S NO FUNDING 

1076
00:39:50,321 --> 00:39:53,057
THAT HAS GONE OUT TO ASSIST 

1077
00:39:53,057 --> 00:39:54,925
CONTRACTED OUTREACH AHEAD OF THE

1078
00:39:54,925 --> 00:39:56,594
GLASS YARD COMMONS OPENING. THAT

1079
00:39:56,594 --> 00:39:58,062
IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN MAYBE NEXT

1080
00:39:58,062 --> 00:40:01,098
WEEK OR MAYBE LATER THIS MONTH. 

1081
00:40:01,098 --> 00:40:03,100
THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOURCE 

1082
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:04,935
ALLOCATION TO HELP THEM HELP OUR

1083
00:40:04,935 --> 00:40:06,437
OUTREACH WORKERS PAY FOR 

1084
00:40:06,437 --> 00:40:08,205
PEOPLE'S GAS, PAY FOR MINOR 

1085
00:40:08,205 --> 00:40:10,875
REPAIRS, PAY FOR GETTING THE 

1086
00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:12,209
VEHICLE IN THEIR NAME TO GET 

1087
00:40:12,209 --> 00:40:13,677
THEIR TITLE. THIS IS ALL WORK 

1088
00:40:13,677 --> 00:40:15,012
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. THAT I'VE

1089
00:40:15,012 --> 00:40:17,114
BEEN CLEAR ABOUT NEEDING TO BE 

1090
00:40:17,114 --> 00:40:18,516
DONE SINCE DAY ONE. EVEN IF 

1091
00:40:18,516 --> 00:40:21,952
THERE IS NOT A SAFE LOT TO 

1092
00:40:21,952 --> 00:40:24,655
DIRECT PEOPLE TO, BECAUSE THESE 

1093
00:40:24,655 --> 00:40:28,292
RESOURCES OF REPAIR ASSISTANCE, 

1094
00:40:28,292 --> 00:40:31,796
GAS AND LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF 

1095
00:40:31,796 --> 00:40:34,231
VEHICLES NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH OR

1096
00:40:34,231 --> 00:40:35,432
WITHOUT ANY OF THE PROPOSALS I 

1097
00:40:35,432 --> 00:40:38,469
BROUGHT THIS YEAR AS WELL. 

1098
00:40:38,469 --> 00:40:39,403
THERE'S NO. THERE'S A DISCUSSION

1099
00:40:39,403 --> 00:40:40,571
FOR TWO SAFE LOTS. WE'LL COME 

1100
00:40:40,571 --> 00:40:42,006
BACK TO THE SAFE LOT AMENDMENT 

1101
00:40:42,006 --> 00:40:43,974
IN JUST A MINUTE. BUT UNDER ALL 

1102
00:40:43,974 --> 00:40:45,876
OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD,

1103
00:40:45,876 --> 00:40:48,579
THERE'S ALSO BEEN NO NO 

1104
00:40:48,579 --> 00:40:49,847
CONCRETE DISCUSSION OF IF WE'RE

1105
00:40:49,847 --> 00:40:52,216
GOING TO FUND A SHELTER STORAGE 

1106
00:40:52,216 --> 00:40:56,086
THAT IS NOW ALLOWED UNDER LAW. 

1107
00:40:56,086 --> 00:40:57,721
AND SO WE NEED TO FUND SERVICES 

1108
00:40:57,721 --> 00:40:59,290
TO HELP PEOPLE LIVING IN THEIR 

1109
00:40:59,290 --> 00:41:00,891
VEHICLES MORE THAN WE'RE DOING 

1110
00:41:00,891 --> 00:41:03,260
TODAY, PERIOD. THE FACT THAT 

1111
00:41:03,260 --> 00:41:05,830
THIS FUNDING HAS NOT GONE OUT 

1112
00:41:05,830 --> 00:41:07,498
THE DOOR TODAY WITH GLASS YARDS 

1113
00:41:07,498 --> 00:41:10,100
COMMONS OPENING LATER THIS 

1114
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:13,471
MONTH, IS UNACCEPTABLE. AND SO 

1115
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:14,905
UNDERSTANDING THAT IF THE VETO 

1116
00:41:14,905 --> 00:41:16,207
IS SUSTAINED, WE'LL NEED TO MOVE

1117
00:41:16,207 --> 00:41:18,008
ALL THE FUNDING INTO ONE 

1118
00:41:18,008 --> 00:41:19,944
LOCATION FOR PROPER 

1119
00:41:19,944 --> 00:41:21,745
DISBURSEMENT, BECAUSE THE 

1120
00:41:21,745 --> 00:41:23,147
AMENDMENT THAT IS IN THE 

1121
00:41:23,147 --> 00:41:24,448
CHAIR'S PACKAGE WAS ONE THAT 

1122
00:41:24,448 --> 00:41:25,950
WAS CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 

1123
00:41:25,950 --> 00:41:28,552
CBO AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE 

1124
00:41:28,552 --> 00:41:32,289
BEFORE THEY MADE THE DECISION 

1125
00:41:32,289 --> 00:41:33,824
TO. BREAK THE COMMITMENT TO WORK

1126
00:41:33,824 --> 00:41:35,693
TOGETHER. SO THAT'S GENERALLY 

1127
00:41:35,693 --> 00:41:37,161
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. 

1128
00:41:37,161 --> 00:41:43,234
COLLEAGUES, ANY DISCUSSION? 

1129
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:45,002
YOU'RE OFF MUTE IF YOU WANT TO 

1130
00:41:45,002 --> 00:41:48,873
GO COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ 

1131
00:41:48,873 --> 00:41:49,106
-- AYE. 

1132
00:41:49,106 --> 00:41:51,876
-- GOT A LITTLE SURROUND SOUND 

1133
00:41:51,876 --> 00:42:02,086
VIBE CHECK. 

1134
00:42:02,419 --> 00:42:08,893
CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES WE CAN. 

1135
00:42:08,893 --> 00:42:11,729
-- GOOD TO GO. I APOLOGIZE, I'M

1136
00:42:11,729 --> 00:42:12,930
USING TWO PHONES IN THE LAPTOP, 

1137
00:42:12,930 --> 00:42:13,931
AND FOR SOME REASON, THE 

1138
00:42:13,931 --> 00:42:15,766
SPEAKERS ARE NOT WORKING ON MY 

1139
00:42:15,766 --> 00:42:17,868
WORK LAPTOP. FIRST OF ALL, THANK

1140
00:42:17,868 --> 00:42:21,405
YOU, COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS FOR 

1141
00:42:21,405 --> 00:42:22,573
DOING THIS ON THE VRAP. AND I'M

1142
00:42:22,573 --> 00:42:24,208
GOING TO SAY IT BECAUSE IT'S 

1143
00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:26,076
TRUE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN 

1144
00:42:26,076 --> 00:42:27,111
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. I THINK IT 

1145
00:42:27,111 --> 00:42:30,180
WAS DISINGENUOUS. AND I'M JUST 

1146
00:42:30,180 --> 00:42:30,848
GOING TO USE THE WORD, WHEN YOU 

1147
00:42:30,848 --> 00:42:31,949
WORK THIS HARD AND YOU HAVE THIS

1148
00:42:31,949 --> 00:42:33,284
MUCH TRUST, AND THEN YOU BELIEVE

1149
00:42:33,284 --> 00:42:34,018
THINGS ARE GOING TO MOVE A 

1150
00:42:34,018 --> 00:42:35,452
CERTAIN WAY BECAUSE WE BELIEVE 

1151
00:42:35,452 --> 00:42:36,353
IT'S ALL GOOD FOR THE CITY AND 

1152
00:42:36,353 --> 00:42:37,454
ALL GOOD FOR OUR RELATIVES, AND 

1153
00:42:37,454 --> 00:42:40,090
ALL GOOD FOR OUR PEOPLE. THE 

1154
00:42:40,090 --> 00:42:41,125
MAYOR LIED. SO LET'S JUST SAY 

1155
00:42:41,125 --> 00:42:43,294
IT. LET'S JUST CALL IT WHAT IT 

1156
00:42:43,294 --> 00:42:44,595
IS. AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.

1157
00:42:44,595 --> 00:42:45,763
AND SO LET'S JUST MOVE FORWARD.

1158
00:42:45,763 --> 00:42:47,331
-- AND I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. 

1159
00:42:47,331 --> 00:42:47,665
-- THANK YOU. 

1160
00:42:47,665 --> 00:42:50,100
-- THANK YOU. 

1161
00:42:50,100 --> 00:42:52,403
-- COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ ANY 

1162
00:42:52,403 --> 00:42:52,970
FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON THIS 

1163
00:42:52,970 --> 00:42:56,273
SLIDE COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER. 

1164
00:42:56,273 --> 00:42:57,741
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR. I 

1165
00:42:57,741 --> 00:42:59,243
JUST WANTED TO ASK CENTRAL 

1166
00:42:59,243 --> 00:43:01,512
STAFF, JUST BECAUSE THIS WAS A 

1167
00:43:01,512 --> 00:43:03,113
NEW AD AND JUST TO MAKE SURE WE 

1168
00:43:03,113 --> 00:43:06,016
UNDERSTAND THE WHAT THIS BUDGET 

1169
00:43:06,016 --> 00:43:08,252
ACTION DOES, CAN I ASK YOU TO 

1170
00:43:08,252 --> 00:43:09,787
JUST SPEAK TO IT IN A LITTLE BIT

1171
00:43:09,787 --> 00:43:11,322
MORE DEPTH IN TERMS OF WHERE THE

1172
00:43:11,322 --> 00:43:12,256
RESOURCES ARE COMING FROM, WHERE

1173
00:43:12,256 --> 00:43:13,023
THEY'RE 

1174
00:43:13,023 --> 00:43:13,357
-- MOVING TO, 

1175
00:43:13,357 --> 00:43:14,792
-- AND WHAT THEY WOULD DO? 

1176
00:43:14,792 --> 00:43:16,894
-- GREAT QUESTION, JEN. 

1177
00:43:16,894 --> 00:43:17,261
-- ABSOLUTELY. 

1178
00:43:17,261 --> 00:43:18,729
-- THERE IS A LOT HAPPENING IN 

1179
00:43:18,729 --> 00:43:20,030
THE CBA, SO I'LL JUST WALK US 

1180
00:43:20,030 --> 00:43:22,933
THROUGH IT. THE FIRST THING THE 

1181
00:43:22,933 --> 00:43:26,937
CBA DOES IS IT DOES DECREASE HSD

1182
00:43:26,937 --> 00:43:28,672
BY 3.5 MILLION IN 2027 AND 2028.

1183
00:43:28,672 --> 00:43:30,174
I KNOW THAT APPEARS TO BE A BIT 

1184
00:43:30,174 --> 00:43:31,742
ODD, BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE

1185
00:43:31,742 --> 00:43:34,378
IS THAT THERE IS A SEPARATE CBA.

1186
00:43:34,378 --> 00:43:37,848
HSD 052 AYE THAT ADDS 3.5 

1187
00:43:37,848 --> 00:43:40,217
MILLION FOR A NEW SAFE LOT. 

1188
00:43:40,217 --> 00:43:42,953
ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE 3.5 

1189
00:43:42,953 --> 00:43:44,722
MILLION IN THE BASELINE BUDGET, 

1190
00:43:44,722 --> 00:43:46,690
AND THE PROPOSED BASELINE BUDGET

1191
00:43:46,690 --> 00:43:48,859
THAT CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT 

1192
00:43:48,859 --> 00:43:50,160
VEHICLE RESIDENTS. SO THIS JUST 

1193
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,228
BACKS IT OUT. SO ESSENTIALLY, 

1194
00:43:51,228 --> 00:43:52,296
WE'RE NOT DOUBLE COUNTING. 

1195
00:43:52,296 --> 00:43:53,764
IT'S KIND OF LIKE ERASING THE 

1196
00:43:53,764 --> 00:43:54,598
CHALKBOARD. AND THEN WE CAN 

1197
00:43:54,598 --> 00:43:59,703
START AGAIN BY ASSIGNING COSTS 

1198
00:43:59,703 --> 00:44:01,005
TO THEIR APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENTS

1199
00:44:01,005 --> 00:44:01,205
AND. 

1200
00:44:01,205 --> 00:44:01,538
-- PURPOSES. 

1201
00:44:01,538 --> 00:44:06,577
-- SO THAT THE WAY THAT THAT IS 

1202
00:44:06,577 --> 00:44:08,712
THEN ASSIGNED IS THAT THERE IS 

1203
00:44:08,712 --> 00:44:11,882
ABOUT 1 MILLION GOING TO HSD. 

1204
00:44:11,882 --> 00:44:14,785
AND THAT COULD BE USED FOR 

1205
00:44:14,785 --> 00:44:18,122
THINGS LIKE CONTRACTED. OUTREACH

1206
00:44:18,122 --> 00:44:18,655
OR CAPACITY BUILDING FOR 

1207
00:44:18,655 --> 00:44:19,723
CONTRACTED OUTREACH, OR FOR 

1208
00:44:19,723 --> 00:44:21,992
THINGS LIKE ASSISTANCE TO 

1209
00:44:21,992 --> 00:44:23,394
VEHICLE RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO 

1210
00:44:23,394 --> 00:44:26,096
HELP THEM MEET CODE, LIKE BEING 

1211
00:44:26,096 --> 00:44:27,564
ABLE TO HAVE A TIRE REPAIR OR 

1212
00:44:27,564 --> 00:44:30,100
GAS IN ORDER TO MOVE AND STAY 

1213
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:32,069
COMPLIANT WITH THE SMC. THERE'S

1214
00:44:32,069 --> 00:44:35,706
ABOUT A HALF THIS IS JUST 2027. 

1215
00:44:35,706 --> 00:44:36,940
THERE'S ABOUT A HALF MILLION 

1216
00:44:36,940 --> 00:44:39,376
THAT WOULD GO TO FUND SEVEN HSD 

1217
00:44:39,376 --> 00:44:40,677
COUNSELOR POSITIONS. THOSE ARE 

1218
00:44:40,677 --> 00:44:40,944
OUTREACH. 

1219
00:44:40,944 --> 00:44:42,846
-- POSITIONS. 

1220
00:44:42,846 --> 00:44:44,715
-- AND THAT HALF A MILLION 

1221
00:44:44,715 --> 00:44:45,249
ASSUMES THAT THOSE SEVEN 

1222
00:44:45,249 --> 00:44:46,850
POSITIONS WOULD BE STAFFED FOR 

1223
00:44:46,850 --> 00:44:51,955
HALF THE YEAR THERE IS ABOUT. 

1224
00:44:51,955 --> 00:44:54,158
$435,000 GOING TO FAS. THAT 

1225
00:44:54,158 --> 00:44:59,363
WOULD BE FOR TO STAND UP AND 

1226
00:44:59,363 --> 00:45:02,900
THEN LEASE A RV STORAGE LOT. SO 

1227
00:45:02,900 --> 00:45:04,234
SOME ONE TIME COSTS RELATED TO 

1228
00:45:04,234 --> 00:45:06,470
FENCING AND THEN JUST ONGOING 

1229
00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:07,704
LEASE COSTS. THERE'S ALSO MONEY

1230
00:45:07,704 --> 00:45:10,441
GOING TO FAS RELATED TO JUST IN 

1231
00:45:10,441 --> 00:45:11,909
INCREASED COSTS RELATED TO 

1232
00:45:11,909 --> 00:45:14,812
IMPOUND AND STORAGE. IF WE END 

1233
00:45:14,812 --> 00:45:17,815
UP. IMPOUNDING A LOT OF 

1234
00:45:17,815 --> 00:45:18,115
ADDITIONAL. 

1235
00:45:18,115 --> 00:45:18,449
-- VEHICLES. 

1236
00:45:18,449 --> 00:45:22,219
-- THERE'S ABOUT. 345,000 GOING

1237
00:45:22,219 --> 00:45:23,387
TO SDOT, AND THAT WOULD BE JUST 

1238
00:45:23,387 --> 00:45:26,590
FOR A. TEMPORARY SENIOR PLANNER,

1239
00:45:26,590 --> 00:45:28,826
ESPECIALLY AS RELATED TO 

1240
00:45:28,826 --> 00:45:29,493
DEVELOPING THE DIRECTOR'S RULE.

1241
00:45:29,493 --> 00:45:31,061
THAT'S PART OF THE VRAP 

1242
00:45:31,061 --> 00:45:35,265
PROGRAM. AND THEN THERE'S ABOUT.

1243
00:45:35,265 --> 00:45:35,799
600,000 GOING TO FINANCE 

1244
00:45:35,799 --> 00:45:36,934
GENERAL. AND THAT'S JUST ON HOLD

1245
00:45:36,934 --> 00:45:38,469
FOR VARIOUS OTHER COSTS THAT 

1246
00:45:38,469 --> 00:45:40,904
HAVE NOT YET BEEN FIGURED OUT. 

1247
00:45:40,904 --> 00:45:42,372
LIKE WHAT THE COSTS MIGHT BE FOR

1248
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:45,142
A PERMIT. TECHNICIAN OR OTHER 

1249
00:45:45,142 --> 00:45:47,511

-- OFFICERS.

-- IN TERMS OF THE SOURCE OF 

1255
00:45:57,454 --> 00:45:58,922
THIS FUNDING, I THINK WHAT I'LL

1256
00:45:58,922 --> 00:46:01,692
SAY HERE IS THAT THERE IS $5 

1257
00:46:01,692 --> 00:46:03,594
MILLION IN THE. 2026 ADOPTED 

1258
00:46:03,594 --> 00:46:08,265
BUDGET THAT HAS BEEN REALLY SET 

1259
00:46:08,265 --> 00:46:11,034
ASIDE FOR WORK RELATED TO VRAP 

1260
00:46:11,034 --> 00:46:13,337

1261
00:46:13,337 --> 00:46:13,670
-- RESIDENTS.

00:46:13,670 --> 00:46:18,008
-- THAT HAS NOT BEEN EXPENDED OR

1263
00:46:18,008 --> 00:46:21,445
COMMITTED. AND SO A PORTION OF 

1264
00:46:21,445 --> 00:46:23,680
THAT WILL BE CARRIED FORWARD 

1265
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,249
INTO THE. 2027 BUDGET AND THEN 

1266

CARRIED FORWARD. 

1279
00:46:45,769 --> 00:46:47,804
-- IS THAT ACCURATE? YES. AND I 

1280
00:46:47,804 --> 00:46:49,039
THINK THE MECHANICS OF THAT ARE 

1281
00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:52,776
THAT IT WOULD BE TAKE HSD. 

1282
00:46:52,776 --> 00:46:54,478
APPROPRIATION WOULD BE REDUCED 

1283
00:46:54,478 --> 00:46:58,749
BY 4.8 MILLION IN THE YEAR END. 

1284
00:46:58,749 --> 00:46:59,183

1289
00:47:05,689 --> 00:47:07,157
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THOSE TWO 

1290
00:47:07,157 --> 00:47:11,395

CHAIR. THANK YOU. VERY CLEAR 

1296
00:47:21,004 --> 00:47:22,472
QUESTION. WE ESSENTIALLY TOOK 

1297
00:47:22,472 --> 00:47:24,308
THE MONEY FROM BEFORE. AND THEN 

1298
00:47:24,308 --> 00:47:25,509
WHAT WE'LL SEE LATER ON IS THAT

1299
00:47:25,509 --> 00:47:29,079
WE THEN REPLACED THE MONEY THAT 

1300
00:47:29,079 --> 00:47:31,215
THIS IS TAKING. SO IT'S A NET 

1301
00:47:31,215 --> 00:47:34,384
ZERO CHANGE, BUT IT IS YOU KNOW,

1302
00:47:34,384 --> 00:47:36,653
THIS WAS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE

1303
00:47:36,653 --> 00:47:39,856
MAYOR'S OFFICE TO IDENTIFY THAT

1304
00:47:39,856 --> 00:47:41,391
SDOT STRATEGIC ADVISOR TO 

1305
00:47:41,391 --> 00:47:44,361
IDENTIFY THE FUNDING FOR THESE 

1306
00:47:44,361 --> 00:47:45,862
OUTREACH OUTREACH FOLKS, BUT 

1307
00:47:45,862 --> 00:47:48,398
KIND OF CANDIDLY, IF THE 

1308
00:47:48,398 --> 00:47:50,000
MAYOR'S VETO IS SUSTAINED AND 

1309
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,568
THE MAYOR WANTS TO GO A 

1310
00:47:51,568 --> 00:47:52,202
DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH A NEW 

1311
00:47:52,202 --> 00:47:54,938
WORK GROUP, WHICH WAS PART OF 

1312
00:47:54,938 --> 00:47:56,707
THE LEGISLATION THAT WAS ALREADY

1313
00:47:56,707 --> 00:47:58,642
PASSED, THIS ALL MIGHT CHANGE. 

1314
00:47:58,642 --> 00:47:59,610
AND SO THAT'S WHY I JUST 

1315
00:47:59,610 --> 00:48:00,777
FLAGGED THAT I MAY BE BRINGING 

1316
00:48:00,777 --> 00:48:03,780
AN AMENDMENT NEXT WEEK TO PUT IT

1317
00:48:03,780 --> 00:48:05,415
INTO ONE POT OF MONEY TO ENSURE 

1318
00:48:05,415 --> 00:48:06,516
THAT WE ARE GETTING THE MONEY 

1319
00:48:06,516 --> 00:48:08,619

00:48:08,619 --> 00:48:09,753
OUTREACH TO HELP PEOPLE WHO LIVE

1321
00:48:09,753 --> 00:48:11,488
IN ANY TYPE OF VEHICLE. AND 

1322
00:48:11,488 --> 00:48:13,490
THAT'S HELPED WITH MAKING SURE 

1323
00:48:13,490 --> 00:48:14,524
THEIR VEHICLE IS RUNNING, MAKING

1324
00:48:14,524 --> 00:48:17,261
SURE THAT THEY HAVE TABS THAT 

1325
00:48:17,261 --> 00:48:17,894
THEY OWN THE VEHICLE, MAKING 

1326
00:48:17,894 --> 00:48:19,062
SURE THAT THEY HAVE GAS, AND 

1327
00:48:19,062 --> 00:48:21,265
MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE 

1328
00:48:21,265 --> 00:48:22,532
RESOURCES TO FIND A MORE STABLE 

1329
00:48:22,532 --> 00:48:24,735
LIFE. THAT IS WHAT THIS MONEY IS

1330
00:48:24,735 --> 00:48:26,570
FOR. AND THAT'S WITH OR WITHOUT

1331
00:48:26,570 --> 00:48:28,572
A SAFE LOT OPENING, BECAUSE 

1332
00:48:28,572 --> 00:48:30,407

WITH OR WITHOUT A PLACE FOR, FOR

1334
00:48:32,743 --> 00:48:34,244
THEM TO GO, BECAUSE THE CITY IS 

1335
00:48:34,244 --> 00:48:35,646
THE ONE THAT'S FAILING. AND THE

1336
00:48:35,646 --> 00:48:36,613
FACT THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD A SAFE

1337
00:48:36,613 --> 00:48:38,849
LOT OPEN IN OVER A YEAR AND A 

1338
00:48:38,849 --> 00:48:40,817

00:52:14,164 --> 00:52:15,432
FOR THIS. SO IT'S REALLY GOING 

1442
00:52:15,432 --> 00:52:18,001
TO THE FOLKS WE, WE KNOW WE NEED

1443
00:52:18,001 --> 00:52:22,405
IT. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, SHOUT 

1444
00:52:22,405 --> 00:52:22,639
OUT TO. 

1445
00:52:22,639 --> 00:52:23,840
-- GOVERNOR FERGUSON. 

1446
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,775
-- WHO WHEN HE WAS ATTORNEY 

1447
00:52:25,775 --> 00:52:27,110
GENERAL, HE SUED SOME OF THE 

1448
00:52:27,110 --> 00:52:28,245
HOSPITALS TO MAKE SURE THIS WORK

1449
00:52:28,245 --> 00:52:30,714
WAS GETTING DONE IN. 

1450
00:52:30,714 --> 00:52:33,283
-- 2022. 

1451
00:52:33,283 --> 00:52:34,918
-- SO ALL TO SAY THAT I JUST 

1452
00:52:34,918 --> 00:52:36,786
FEEL REALLY BECAUSE I WAS. 

1453
00:52:36,786 --> 00:52:39,523
CONCERNED ABOUT FOLKS, I WAS I 

1454
00:52:39,523 --> 00:52:42,526
WENT AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND I

1455
00:52:42,526 --> 00:52:43,593
WAS REALLY GLAD TO FIND OUT THAT

1456
00:52:43,593 --> 00:52:45,662
THE STATE HAS THIS PROGRAM. SO 

1457
00:52:45,662 --> 00:52:47,130
ALL TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE 

1458
00:52:47,130 --> 00:52:49,666
YOUR CONCERN. AND THEN ALSO TO 

1459
00:52:49,666 --> 00:52:52,435
ADD TO IT, THE STATE IS ALSO 

1460
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,004
DOING THIS WORK. AND SO, YOU 

1461
00:52:54,004 --> 00:52:56,506
KNOW, A LOT OF FOLKS ARE 

1462
00:52:56,506 --> 00:52:58,808
STRUGGLING. AND SOMETIMES THIS 

1463
00:52:58,808 --> 00:53:00,243
IS ESPECIALLY A HEFTY HOSPITAL 

1464
00:53:00,243 --> 00:53:01,678
BILL, IS WHY FOLKS SOMETIMES 

1465
00:53:01,678 --> 00:53:03,713
BECOME HOMELESS. AS YOU'VE 

1466
00:53:03,713 --> 00:53:04,281
TALKED ABOUT. COUNCILMEMBER 

1467
00:53:04,281 --> 00:53:05,949
FOSTER AND MANY OF US HAVE. AND 

1468
00:53:05,949 --> 00:53:07,684
SO I JUST WANTED TO TO ADD THAT 

1469
00:53:07,684 --> 00:53:09,920
AS LIKE A. 

1470
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,388
-- COMPLIMENTARY COMMENT. 

1471
00:53:11,388 --> 00:53:12,789
-- IN TERMS OF THIS WORK AND 

1472
00:53:12,789 --> 00:53:14,024
THAT OUR STATE HAS TAKEN THIS 

1473
00:53:14,024 --> 00:53:15,125
SERIOUSLY. AND I APPRECIATE THAT

1474
00:53:15,125 --> 00:53:18,895
AND MANY OTHERS MAY EXCUSE ME, 

1475
00:53:18,895 --> 00:53:20,297
MAYBE OTHERS DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT 

1476
00:53:20,297 --> 00:53:21,965
THIS TOO. SO I WANTED TO STATE 

1477
00:53:21,965 --> 00:53:22,499
THAT PUBLICLY AS WELL. 

1478
00:53:22,499 --> 00:53:24,901
-- THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VERY 

1479
00:53:24,901 --> 00:53:25,235
-- WELL SAID. 

1480
00:53:25,235 --> 00:53:26,436
-- COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER. 

1481
00:53:26,436 --> 00:53:27,170
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR, AND

1482
00:53:27,170 --> 00:53:29,339
THANK YOU FOR THAT. 

1483
00:53:29,339 --> 00:53:31,074
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA I WANTED TO

1484
00:53:31,074 --> 00:53:32,309
SAY, I THINK THAT THE CHARITY 

1485
00:53:32,309 --> 00:53:33,810
CARE WORK IS REALLY, REALLY 

1486
00:53:33,810 --> 00:53:34,544
IMPORTANT, AND I JUST WANT TO 

1487
00:53:34,544 --> 00:53:36,880
MAKE SURE I CLARIFY THE 

1488
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,315
DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO, 

1489
00:53:38,315 --> 00:53:40,116
BECAUSE I DO THINK IT'S REALLY 

1490
00:53:40,116 --> 00:53:42,519
CRITICAL BECAUSE CHARITY CARE IS

1491
00:53:42,519 --> 00:53:42,819
IMPORTANT. 

1492
00:53:42,819 --> 00:53:44,754
-- AND UNFORTUNATELY. 

1493
00:53:44,754 --> 00:53:45,789
-- RESIDENTS ARE STILL ENDING UP

1494
00:53:45,789 --> 00:53:47,691
WITH MEDICAL DEBT, EVEN WITH 

1495
00:53:47,691 --> 00:53:49,025
CHARITY CARE. AND WE'RE SEEING 

1496
00:53:49,025 --> 00:53:51,027
THAT ACROSS THE CITY. WE'RE 

1497
00:53:51,027 --> 00:53:52,729
SEEING THAT ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 

1498
00:53:52,729 --> 00:53:53,763
SO I'LL JUST SHARE WITH YOU, 

1499
00:53:53,763 --> 00:53:55,098
I'M WORKING TO PULL THIS UP 

1500
00:53:55,098 --> 00:53:56,166
NOW. YOU KNOW, WE LOOKED WHEN WE

1501
00:53:56,166 --> 00:53:57,367
LOOKED INTO THIS, WE ACTUALLY 

1502
00:53:57,367 --> 00:53:58,702
PULLED UP MEDICAL DEBT IN 

1503
00:53:58,702 --> 00:54:01,004
SEATTLE AND LOOKED AT IT BY ZIP 

1504
00:54:01,004 --> 00:54:02,272
CODE AND THEN TOOK THAT AND MADE

1505
00:54:02,272 --> 00:54:04,741
THAT INTO A ROUGH ESTIMATION OF 

1506
00:54:04,741 --> 00:54:06,743
MEDICAL DEBT BY COUNCIL DISTRICT

1507
00:54:06,743 --> 00:54:08,478
THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THIS 

1508
00:54:08,478 --> 00:54:10,347
BUDGET. AND I'M SCROLLING TO 

1509
00:54:10,347 --> 00:54:14,918
THAT RIGHT NOW. SO IT'S. 

1510
00:54:14,918 --> 00:54:15,318
-- $6.6 MILLION. 

1511
00:54:15,318 --> 00:54:18,121
-- IN MEDICAL DEBT. AND LOOKING 

1512
00:54:18,121 --> 00:54:20,056
AT, LET'S SEE, COUNCIL 

1513
00:54:20,056 --> 00:54:20,690
DISTRICTS, I THINK WE SEE 

1514
00:54:20,690 --> 00:54:24,628
DISTRICT FOUR. $273,000 IN 

1515
00:54:24,628 --> 00:54:26,196
MEDICAL DEBT ADDRESSED BY THIS, 

1516
00:54:26,196 --> 00:54:26,830
BECAUSE EVEN WITH CHARITY CARE, 

1517
00:54:26,830 --> 00:54:28,298
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL LEAVING

1518
00:54:28,298 --> 00:54:28,898
THE HOSPITAL WITH BILLS THAT 

1519
00:54:28,898 --> 00:54:30,567
THEY CAN'T PAY. AND THEN 

1520
00:54:30,567 --> 00:54:31,234
THAT'S JUST SADDLING THEM. BUT 

1521
00:54:31,234 --> 00:54:33,436
THE STATE HAS TAKEN A LOT OF 

1522
00:54:33,436 --> 00:54:35,472
REALLY FANTASTIC ACTION, YOU 

1523
00:54:35,472 --> 00:54:37,273
KNOW, INCLUDING ENSURING THAT 

1524
00:54:37,273 --> 00:54:37,874
MEDICAL DEBT DOESN'T COUNT 

1525
00:54:37,874 --> 00:54:39,209
NEGATIVELY ON YOUR CREDIT AND 

1526
00:54:39,209 --> 00:54:40,243
PUTTING LIMITATIONS. I THINK 

1527
00:54:40,243 --> 00:54:42,946
IT'S A 1% LIMITATION ON THE, 

1528
00:54:42,946 --> 00:54:44,180
THE, THE INTEREST THAT YOUR 

1529
00:54:44,180 --> 00:54:45,849
MEDICAL DEBT CAN INCUR. SO I 

1530
00:54:45,849 --> 00:54:47,917
THINK WE'RE SEEING LOTS AND LOTS

1531
00:54:47,917 --> 00:54:48,985
OF FANTASTIC ACTION, BUT REALLY 

1532
00:54:48,985 --> 00:54:49,586
EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THIS IS 

1533
00:54:49,586 --> 00:54:50,754
PROBABLY ONE OF THE THINGS I'M 

1534
00:54:50,754 --> 00:54:52,188
MOST EXCITED ABOUT IN OUR 

1535
00:54:52,188 --> 00:54:53,957
BUDGET, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO 

1536
00:54:53,957 --> 00:54:56,760
HAVE JUST A REALLY CLEAR AND 

1537
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,194
IMMEDIATE. IMPACT WITH SUCH A, 

1538
00:54:58,194 --> 00:54:59,863
SUCH A SMALL INVESTMENT 

1539
00:54:59,863 --> 00:55:00,497
COMPARATIVELY. SO THANK YOU FOR.

1540
00:55:00,497 --> 00:55:02,465
-- BRINGING THAT UP.

THAT THAT'S REALLY. 

1559
00:55:27,123 --> 00:55:29,159
-- IMPORTANT. 

1560

00:55:39,235 --> 00:55:41,905
ISSUES THAT ARE SOME FAMILIES

00:55:41,905 --> 00:55:43,039
THAT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, THAT 

1568
00:55:43,039 --> 00:55:43,673
ARE SLEEPING IN THEIR VEHICLES. 

1569
00:55:43,673 --> 00:55:45,842

1571
00:55:47,977 --> 00:55:49,045

00:55:49,045 --> 00:55:49,846
WANTED TO BRING THAT TO THE 

1573
00:55:49,846 --> 00:55:50,647

THESE MEETINGS. AND THAT IS 

1780
01:02:27,110 --> 01:02:30,012

01:02:59,275 --> 01:03:03,379
IT'S NOT WANTING TO SUPPORT MY 

1796
01:03:03,379 --> 01:03:07,750
PRIORITIES BECAUSE THE MAYOR IS 

1797
01:03:07,750 --> 01:03:08,251
FREE TO HAVE DIFFERENT 

1798
01:03:08,251 --> 01:03:10,653
PRIORITIES AND THE WAY THAT 

1799
01:03:10,653 --> 01:03:12,822
FUNCTIONALLY WORKS IS THIS TEAM 

1800
01:03:12,822 --> 01:03:14,557
IS NEGOTIATING WITH SOUND 

1801
01:03:14,557 --> 01:03:16,025
TRANSIT AND OTHER BOARD MEMBERS 

1802
01:03:16,025 --> 01:03:17,493
ACROSS OUR REGION, REPRESENTING 

1803
01:03:17,493 --> 01:03:18,161
THE CITY OF SEATTLE'S POSITION.

1804
01:03:18,161 --> 01:03:20,363
I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE HAD A 

1805
01:03:20,363 --> 01:03:22,532
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON WHAT 

1806
01:03:22,532 --> 01:03:24,267
THAT POSITION WAS. BUT BUT 

1807
01:03:24,267 --> 01:03:25,401
THAT'S THE OKAY PART. I JUST 

1808
01:03:25,401 --> 01:03:26,769
LIKE, I'M JUST KIND OF 

1809
01:03:26,769 --> 01:03:27,804
HIGHLIGHTING LIKE, IT'S OKAY FOR

1810
01:03:27,804 --> 01:03:30,873
US TO HAVE DIFFERENCES. I WHAT 

1811
01:03:30,873 --> 01:03:33,376
DIDN'T WORK FOR ME THIS YEAR 

1812
01:03:33,376 --> 01:03:38,481
WAS BECAUSE THE MAYOR DID NOT 

1813
01:03:38,481 --> 01:03:39,515
SUPPORT MY WORK. I WAS NOT ABLE 

1814
01:03:39,515 --> 01:03:42,752
TO RECEIVE THE STAFFING THAT I 

1815
01:03:42,752 --> 01:03:46,956
NEEDED FROM OUR CITY STAFF IN MY

1816
01:03:46,956 --> 01:03:49,258
WORK AS A BOARD MEMBER AT SOUND 

1817
01:03:49,258 --> 01:03:52,361
TRANSIT. AND SO I TAKE MYSELF 

1818
01:03:52,361 --> 01:03:54,330
OUT OF THIS JUST TO SAY, IF 

1819
01:03:54,330 --> 01:03:56,299
ANYONE UP HERE IS A BOARD MEMBER

1820
01:03:56,299 --> 01:03:57,767
AT SOUND TRANSIT, IT IS CRITICAL

1821
01:03:57,767 --> 01:04:00,236
THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO RELY ON 

1822
01:04:00,236 --> 01:04:02,004
CONSISTENT STAFFING BECAUSE THE 

1823
01:04:02,004 --> 01:04:04,473
AMOUNT OF INFORMATION AND LEVEL 

1824
01:04:04,473 --> 01:04:05,842
OF NEGOTIATION OCCURRING AT 

1825
01:04:05,842 --> 01:04:08,911
SOUND TRANSIT IS SO HIGH. AND SO

1826
01:04:08,911 --> 01:04:09,478
BECAUSE I DIDN'T RECEIVE 

1827
01:04:09,478 --> 01:04:11,514
STAFFING SUPPORT, I HAD TO WRITE

1828
01:04:11,514 --> 01:04:15,718
MY OWN AMENDMENTS. I DIDN'T HAVE

1829
01:04:15,718 --> 01:04:17,486
A TEAM TO WRITE MY AMENDMENTS 

1830
01:04:17,486 --> 01:04:21,023
LIKE I HAD RELIED ON THAT. EVERY

1831
01:04:21,023 --> 01:04:22,725
BOARD MEMBER FROM THE COUNCIL 

1832
01:04:22,725 --> 01:04:25,661
HAS BEEN ABLE TO RELY ON. AND I 

1833
01:04:25,661 --> 01:04:27,063
ACTUALLY LOST SUPPORT AT THE 

1834
01:04:27,063 --> 01:04:28,364
LAST MINUTE AT THE SOUND TRANSIT

1835
01:04:28,364 --> 01:04:31,000
MEETING FOR THAT AMENDMENT, 

1836
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,768
BECAUSE THE THE OTHER BOARD 

1837
01:04:32,768 --> 01:04:35,972
MEMBER STATED IT WAS NOT 

1838
01:04:35,972 --> 01:04:37,607
PROPERLY WRITTEN, WASN'T 

1839
01:04:37,607 --> 01:04:39,175
PROPERLY WRITTEN BECAUSE I WROTE

1840
01:04:39,175 --> 01:04:41,143
IT. I WROTE IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T

1841
01:04:41,143 --> 01:04:43,246
HAVE STAFF SUPPORT. AND SO NO 

1842
01:04:43,246 --> 01:04:44,947
MATTER WHO IS ON THE SOUND 

1843
01:04:44,947 --> 01:04:46,549
TRANSIT BOARD, IT'S CLEAR TO ME

1844
01:04:46,549 --> 01:04:50,686
NOW THAT WE NEED TO HAVE 

1845
01:04:50,686 --> 01:04:52,088
DEDICATED STAFFING. I DID 

1846
01:04:52,088 --> 01:04:53,155
RECEIVE WHEN I SHARED ALL OF 

1847
01:04:53,155 --> 01:04:55,157
THIS WITH THE MAYOR IN JULY, 

1848
01:04:55,157 --> 01:04:58,127
THERE WAS A COMMITMENT TO FIX 

1849
01:04:58,127 --> 01:04:59,528
THIS ISSUE, AND THAT COMMITMENT 

1850
01:04:59,528 --> 01:05:01,297
HAS NOT YET BEEN FULFILLED. SO 

1851
01:05:01,297 --> 01:05:02,798
MANY MONTHS LATER. AND THAT IS 

1852
01:05:02,798 --> 01:05:05,735
WHY I'M BRINGING THIS PROPOSAL.

1853
01:05:05,735 --> 01:05:08,738
I HOPE THAT THIS DOES NOT CHANGE

1854
01:05:08,738 --> 01:05:10,172
HOW THIS WHICHEVER INDIVIDUAL 

1855
01:05:10,172 --> 01:05:11,207
THIS IS AND HOW THEY ARE 

1856
01:05:11,207 --> 01:05:13,342
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE SOUND 

1857
01:05:13,342 --> 01:05:15,978
TRANSIT TEAM. JUST TO SAY THAT 

1858
01:05:15,978 --> 01:05:17,313
WHEN BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE 

1859
01:05:17,313 --> 01:05:19,849
APPOINTED TO THE SOUND TRANSIT 

1860
01:05:19,849 --> 01:05:21,083
BOARD, WHEN THEY ARE IN THAT 

1861
01:05:21,083 --> 01:05:21,651
POSITION, IF THEY HAVE A 

1862
01:05:21,651 --> 01:05:24,086
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION WITH THE 

1863
01:05:24,086 --> 01:05:25,454
EXECUTIVE, THAT THEY STILL 

1864
01:05:25,454 --> 01:05:26,756
RECEIVE THE STAFFING THAT THEY 

1865
01:05:26,756 --> 01:05:28,624
NEED TO PROPERLY REPRESENT THE 

1866
01:05:28,624 --> 01:05:30,092
CITY OF SEATTLE AT THE SOUND 

1867
01:05:30,092 --> 01:05:32,561
TRANSIT BOARD THANK YOU 

1868
01:05:32,561 --> 01:05:33,829
COLLEAGUES. THAT WAS A LONG ONE.

1869
01:05:33,829 --> 01:05:38,634
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS ON THAT 

1870
01:05:38,634 --> 01:05:43,272
SEEING NONE, WE'LL JUST KEEP ON

1871
01:05:43,272 --> 01:05:43,506
MOVING. 

1872
01:05:43,506 --> 01:05:45,741
-- NO CHANGES TO THE TWO 

1873
01:05:45,741 --> 01:05:49,211
PROPOSED ITEMS FOR THE OFFICE OF

1874
01:05:49,211 --> 01:05:49,512

COMMUNITIES. AND THEN JUST TO

1884
01:06:04,694 --> 01:06:06,862

CRIMINOLOGY FOR THIS FOCUS. VERY

DID DO THE RESEARCH TO FIND 

1895

SOMETHING THAT I THINK WOULD BE 

1896
01:06:35,825 --> 01:06:37,226
ADDITIVE AND IMPORTANT FOR 

1897
01:06:37,226 --> 01:06:38,728

AS A REAL POSITIVE EFFORT THAT 

1903
01:06:54,810 --> 01:06:58,247
HAS REALLY LED TO SOME POSITIVE 

1904
01:06:58,247 --> 01:06:59,749
RESULTS IN THE CITIES THAT WE'VE

01:06:59,749 --> 01:07:01,217

-- THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBERS, 

1912
01:07:13,429 --> 01:07:14,964
IT'S I JUST WANTED TO APOLOGIZE

1913
01:07:14,964 --> 01:07:16,032
FOR MAKING A CORRECTION THAT I 

1914
01:07:16,032 --> 01:07:20,736
DID NOT MEAN TO MAKE. HSD 52 BE 

1915
01:07:20,736 --> 01:07:23,739
THAT I MENTIONED WAS ACTUALLY 

1916
01:07:23,739 --> 01:07:25,307
NOT SELECTED IN THE CHAIR'S 

1917
01:07:25,307 --> 01:07:26,642

1919
01:07:28,577 --> 01:07:30,346
PACKAGE WAS CORRECT FOR THE SAFE

1920
01:07:30,346 --> 01:07:35,117
LOT. I APOLOGIZE FOR CONFUSING 

1921
01:07:35,117 --> 01:07:35,451
THE COUNCIL. 

1922
01:07:35,451 --> 01:07:38,454
-- THANKS, CAL. I HAD A MINOR 

1923
01:07:38,454 --> 01:07:40,056
ANXIETY ATTACK UP HERE. I'M GLAD

1924
01:07:40,056 --> 01:07:43,459
YOU ALL SAW THAT. WITH THAT, I 

1925
01:07:43,459 --> 01:07:45,694
ALSO INCORRECTLY STATED WHAT 

1926
01:07:45,694 --> 01:07:47,296

01:07:47,930 --> 01:07:48,597
THEY'RE SMALLER THAN MY EYES 

1929
01:07:48,597 --> 01:07:50,366
CAN READ. SO WE WERE ON PAGE 13.

1930
01:07:50,366 --> 01:07:56,806
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO AGE 14. 

1931

ONE WHERE ONGOING FUNDING WAS 

1933
01:08:00,810 --> 01:08:04,346
CHANGED TO ONE TIME. 

1934
01:08:04,346 --> 01:08:06,148

QUESTIONS HERE. JUST NOTING THE

INCREASE OF ACTIVATIONS IN 

1950
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:03,906
BALLARD. THIS WAS THE 

1951
01:09:03,906 --> 01:09:05,708
CONVERSATION WE HAD LAST WEEK 

1952
01:09:05,708 --> 01:09:06,809
ABOUT THE ABOUT JIMOTHY. BUT I 

1953
01:09:06,809 --> 01:09:09,612
DIDN'T SHARE WITH YOU THE OTHER

1954
01:09:09,612 --> 01:09:12,114
HALF OF THIS CONVERSATION. THE 

1955
01:09:12,114 --> 01:09:14,884
SISTER CITY CONNECTION TO OUR 

1956
01:09:14,884 --> 01:09:16,218
SISTER CITY REYKJAVIK IN 

1957
01:09:16,218 --> 01:09:17,453
ICELAND. THE WOOL INDUSTRY 

1958
01:09:17,453 --> 01:09:23,859
CREATED A WINTER TIME STORY 

1959
01:09:23,859 --> 01:09:26,428
THAT. IT WAS DESIGNED TO HAVE 

1960
01:09:26,428 --> 01:09:28,330
PEOPLE USE MORE WOOL. AND SO THE

1961
01:09:28,330 --> 01:09:31,033
STORY WAS THAT IF YOU DIDN'T GET

1962
01:09:31,033 --> 01:09:32,568
NEW CLOTHES IN THE WINTER, YOU 

1963
01:09:32,568 --> 01:09:37,106
WOULD BE EATEN BY A CAT. AND SO 

1964
01:09:37,106 --> 01:09:39,208
THIS. AND SO IN REYKJAVIK, 

1965
01:09:39,208 --> 01:09:41,810
THERE'S THIS LONG GOING STORY 

1966
01:09:41,810 --> 01:09:45,548
ABOUT HOW KIDS NEED TO GET 

1967
01:09:45,548 --> 01:09:46,582
CLOTHES IN THE WINTER TIME. 

1968
01:09:46,582 --> 01:09:48,117
OTHERWISE YOU'LL GET EATEN BY 

1969
01:09:48,117 --> 01:09:50,319
THIS CAT. AND SO THE WAY THAT 

1970
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:54,757
THE THAT WE ARE INCORPORATING

NEIGHBORHOODS. AND, YOU KNOW, WE

2005
01:11:13,769 --> 01:11:18,040

2006
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:21,410
IN LITTLE SAIGON, HEARING FROM

2013
01:11:34,423 --> 01:11:35,491
TAKING A WHILE TO GET SOME OF

WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME REAL 

2017
01:11:44,333 --> 01:11:46,235
PROGRESS. AT THE SAME TIME, I 

2018
01:11:46,235 --> 01:11:47,469
ALSO EXPECT THAT WE'RE NOT GOING

2019
01:11:47,469 --> 01:11:50,873

01:15:42,738 --> 01:15:45,874
SORRY, STOREFRONTS BROKEN INTO 

2148
01:15:45,874 --> 01:15:47,209
AND WINDOWS BROKEN. IT'S VERY 

2149
01:15:47,209 --> 01:15:50,546
COSTLY FOR THEM TO TO HAVE TO 

2150
01:15:50,546 --> 01:15:53,181
FIX THESE THINGS. AND OFTENTIMES

2151
01:15:53,181 --> 01:15:55,050
THEIR INSURANCE RATES GO UP IF 

2152
01:15:55,050 --> 01:15:57,052
THEY CLAIM MAKE A CLAIM TO THE 

2153
01:15:57,052 --> 01:16:00,722
INSURANCE. SO, YOU KNOW, WE 

2154
01:16:00,722 --> 01:16:02,958
STARTED THIS FUND POST COVID TO 

2155
01:16:02,958 --> 01:16:04,793
HELP SOME OF THESE SMALL 

2156
01:16:04,793 --> 01:16:06,762
BUSINESSES. AND THEN WE'VE KEPT

2157
01:16:06,762 --> 01:16:11,233
IT GOING OVER THE, THE YEARS 

2158
01:16:11,233 --> 01:16:13,068
REALLY, BECAUSE THEY CONTINUE TO

2159
01:16:13,068 --> 01:16:13,902
SUFFER FROM THESE ISSUES. AND, 

2160
01:16:13,902 --> 01:16:16,471
YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS SAY, 

2161
01:16:16,471 --> 01:16:19,174
COLLEAGUES, IF YOU WANT TO SEE 

2162
01:16:19,174 --> 01:16:20,842
HOW WELL A CITY'S DOING, YOU 

2163
01:16:20,842 --> 01:16:22,978
LOOK TO SEE HOW WELL, OBVIOUSLY 

2164
01:16:22,978 --> 01:16:24,413
ALL ITS RESIDENTS ARE DOING, BUT

2165
01:16:24,413 --> 01:16:26,148
ALSO IN TERMS OF THE ECONOMY, 

2166
01:16:26,148 --> 01:16:27,349
YOU YOU LOOK TO SEE HOW WELL THE

2167
01:16:27,349 --> 01:16:31,253
SMALL BUSINESSES ARE DOING. SO 

2168
01:16:31,253 --> 01:16:33,855
IT IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT I'VE

2169
01:16:33,855 --> 01:16:35,357
ALWAYS VERY MUCH SUPPORTED. IN 

2170
01:16:35,357 --> 01:16:38,226
GENERAL, OUR SMALL BUSINESSES, 

2171
01:16:38,226 --> 01:16:40,862
PARTICULARLY PARTICULARLY SO 

2172
01:16:40,862 --> 01:16:44,600
MANY OF OUR BLACK AND BROWN 

2173
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:45,133
BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALSO 

2174
01:16:45,133 --> 01:16:47,436
STRUGGLING. AND SO THIS REALLY 

2175
01:16:47,436 --> 01:16:50,672
PROVIDES SOME SMALL HELP TO 

2176
01:16:50,672 --> 01:16:51,707
BUSINESSES. AND IT'S SOMETHING I

2177
01:16:51,707 --> 01:16:53,408
KNOW THEY'VE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF

2178
01:16:53,408 --> 01:16:54,743
OVER THE YEARS. NOT ADVANTAGE 

2179
01:16:54,743 --> 01:16:56,244
THAT SOUNDS TERRIBLE, BUT THAT 

2180
01:16:56,244 --> 01:17:00,816
THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO. GET 

2181
01:17:00,816 --> 01:17:02,351
SUPPORT FROM OVER THE YEARS. 

2182
01:17:02,351 --> 01:17:05,053
THAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO 

2183
01:17:05,053 --> 01:17:06,588
CONTINUE. AND I APPRECIATE THOSE

2184
01:17:06,588 --> 01:17:08,890
OF YOU COLLEAGUES WHO SIGNED ON 

2185
01:17:08,890 --> 01:17:09,625
TO SUPPORT THIS. THANK YOU. 

2186
01:17:09,625 --> 01:17:11,059
CHAIR, SIR. 

2187
01:17:11,059 --> 01:17:12,961
-- THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. WELL 

2188
01:17:12,961 --> 01:17:15,731
SAID. I JUST COMMENTING ON THIS 

2189
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:17,199
BACK TO BUSINESS FUNDING, THE 

2190
01:17:17,199 --> 01:17:18,767
PROPOSAL THAT THE VICE CHAIR 

2191
01:17:18,767 --> 01:17:20,769
BROUGHT FORWARD WAS TO PROVIDE 

2192
01:17:20,769 --> 01:17:22,404
FUNDS WITHIN THE OFFICE OF 

2193
01:17:22,404 --> 01:17:25,107
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, OFFICE OF 

2194
01:17:25,107 --> 01:17:27,409
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WAS VERY 

2195
01:17:27,409 --> 01:17:29,578
CLEAR THROUGH THE CBO. 

2196
01:17:29,578 --> 01:17:30,212
OFTENTIMES THERE'S ARGUMENTS 

2197
01:17:30,212 --> 01:17:31,480
WITH DEPARTMENTS ABOUT WHETHER 

2198
01:17:31,480 --> 01:17:32,648
IT'S A PROVISO OR WHETHER IT'S

2199
01:17:32,648 --> 01:17:34,383
NEW MONEY. OFTENTIMES, 

2200
01:17:34,383 --> 01:17:36,084
DEPARTMENTS WILL SAY TO US, 

2201
01:17:36,084 --> 01:17:38,053
DON'T PROVISO THAT MONEY 

2202
01:17:38,053 --> 01:17:38,720
BECAUSE SOMETHING ELSE WON'T BE

2203
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:40,188
DONE, AND THEN THAT SOMETHING 

2204
01:17:40,188 --> 01:17:41,657
ELSE CAN NEVER BE ARTICULATED. 

2205
01:17:41,657 --> 01:17:43,158
AND SO IT'S VERY UNCLEAR TO US 

2206
01:17:43,158 --> 01:17:45,994
IN THOSE MOMENTS WHAT HAPPENED 

2207
01:17:45,994 --> 01:17:49,598
IN THIS SITUATION IS THAT THE 

2208
01:17:49,598 --> 01:17:50,232
OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 

2209
01:17:50,232 --> 01:17:51,933
WAS VERY CLEAR WITH THEIR ANSWER

2210
01:17:51,933 --> 01:17:54,770
OF WHAT COULD NOT BE DONE. IF A 

2211
01:17:54,770 --> 01:17:57,139
PROVISO WAS ADDED. THAT GAVE US 

2212
01:17:57,139 --> 01:17:59,074
THE CLARITY THAT WE NEEDED TO 

2213
01:17:59,074 --> 01:18:01,143
SAY MORE FUNDING WAS NEEDED, 

2214
01:18:01,143 --> 01:18:03,445
RATHER THAN USING THEIR EXISTING

2215
01:18:03,445 --> 01:18:05,147
FUNDS. AND THAT'S WHY I PUT 

2216
01:18:05,147 --> 01:18:07,349
FORWARD THE $1 MILLION OF NEW 

2217
01:18:07,349 --> 01:18:11,019
MONEY TO MEET THE NEEDS THAT 

2218
01:18:11,019 --> 01:18:13,188
COUNCILMEMBER, VICE CHAIR RIVERA

2219
01:18:13,188 --> 01:18:13,822
HAD INDICATED. AND THEN JUST 

2220
01:18:13,822 --> 01:18:15,991
NOTING THAT HER ORIGINAL PROVISO

2221
01:18:15,991 --> 01:18:19,161
WAS FOR $1.6 MILLION BECAUSE 

2222
01:18:19,161 --> 01:18:22,864
$0.6 MILLION STILL EXISTS, .8.8,

2223
01:18:22,864 --> 01:18:24,933
A LOT OF NUMBERS THIS WEEKEND. 

2224
01:18:24,933 --> 01:18:26,768
AND SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO BRING

2225
01:18:26,768 --> 01:18:29,071
A PROVISO TO ENSURE THAT THAT 

2226
01:18:29,071 --> 01:18:30,205
1.8 STAYS WITHIN THE BACK TO 

2227
01:18:30,205 --> 01:18:31,206
BUSINESS FUND, YOU CAN COUNT ME 

2228
01:18:31,206 --> 01:18:33,542

2229
01:18:33,542 --> 01:18:35,444

01:20:14,676 --> 01:20:18,713
LARGER ISSUE WHERE WE REALLY SEE

01:21:24,079 --> 01:21:25,080
MOVING. 

2324
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:26,147
-- THANK YOU. APOLOGIES, CHAIR. 

2325
01:21:26,147 --> 01:21:28,850
I DID MEAN TO SAY, COLLEAGUES, 

2326
01:21:28,850 --> 01:21:30,252
THE REASON WHY I PUT THIS IN A 

2327
01:21:30,252 --> 01:21:31,920
PROVISO WAS BECAUSE IT WASN'T. 

2328
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,222
WE'VE BEEN ADDING IT ONE TIME 

2329
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:35,624
BECAUSE THE NEED IS STILL THERE.

2330
01:21:35,624 --> 01:21:40,495
AND IT WASN'T ADDED IN THE AS A

2331
01:21:40,495 --> 01:21:41,096
BASELINE ITEM. AND I THOUGHT, 

2332
01:21:41,096 --> 01:21:44,866
IT'S SO IMPORTANT, BUT I KNOW 

2333
01:21:44,866 --> 01:21:46,968
WE ARE RESTRICTED BY THE FUNDS 

2334
01:21:46,968 --> 01:21:50,071
THAT WE CAN ADD TO THE BUDGET. 

2335
01:21:50,071 --> 01:21:51,940
SO REALLY IT WAS PROVISO NOT 

2336
01:21:51,940 --> 01:21:53,642
BECAUSE I DON'T SUPPORT THE 

2337
01:21:53,642 --> 01:21:55,877
DEPARTMENT, I JUST THOUGHT IT 

2338
01:21:55,877 --> 01:21:58,380
WAS THE BEST WAY TO GET SOME OF 

2339
01:21:58,380 --> 01:22:02,083
THESE FUNDS TO GO TO THIS 

2340
01:22:02,083 --> 01:22:05,320
PROGRAM. KNOWING THAT WE'RE 

2341
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:05,954
HAVING THESE CHALLENGING BUDGET 

2342
01:22:05,954 --> 01:22:06,888
CONVERSATIONS. AND I DIDN'T WANT

2343
01:22:06,888 --> 01:22:09,190
TO ADD TO THE EXPANSION OF THE 

2344
01:22:09,190 --> 01:22:11,192
BUDGET. SO THAT WAS WHY IT WAS 

2345
01:22:11,192 --> 01:22:13,328
PROVISO. AND I THINK IT'S 

2346
01:22:13,328 --> 01:22:15,830
IMPORTANT TO SAY THAT BECAUSE 

2347
01:22:15,830 --> 01:22:18,466
IT'S NOT THAT I WANT TO PROVISO

2348
01:22:18,466 --> 01:22:19,801
A DEPARTMENT'S MONEY, ANY 

2349
01:22:19,801 --> 01:22:21,069
DEPARTMENT. BUT WE ARE WHERE WE 

2350
01:22:21,069 --> 01:22:23,204
ARE FISCALLY AND FINANCIALLY. 

2351
01:22:23,204 --> 01:22:26,741
AND SO THAT'S WHY SOMETIMES I 

2352
01:22:26,741 --> 01:22:28,510
THINK WE HAVE TO PROVISO MONEY. 

2353
01:22:28,510 --> 01:22:30,812
IT'S NOT THAT WE WANT TO IS 

2354
01:22:30,812 --> 01:22:32,047
THAT IF WE SEE THERE'S A NEED 

2355
01:22:32,047 --> 01:22:33,848
THAT WE NEED TO FILL AND 

2356
01:22:33,848 --> 01:22:35,617
THERE'S NO MONEY TO FILL IT, 

2357
01:22:35,617 --> 01:22:37,419
THEN WE KNOW WE HAVE THE PROVISO

2358
01:22:37,419 --> 01:22:40,221
AS A MECHANISM. AND THAT IS WHY 

2359
01:22:40,221 --> 01:22:41,556
SO REALLY WANT TO JUST TO STATE 

2360
01:22:41,556 --> 01:22:43,058
THAT FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU. 

2361
01:22:43,058 --> 01:22:43,892
-- WELL SAID. AND WE COULDN'T 

2362
01:22:43,892 --> 01:22:45,226
HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THE 

2363
01:22:45,226 --> 01:22:46,661
INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE 

2364
01:22:46,661 --> 01:22:48,029

2369
01:22:56,971 --> 01:22:59,641

GO TO HOMEOWNERSHIP PROJECTS. 

2374
01:23:08,283 --> 01:23:09,718

GOOD. KEEP ON MOVING.

ALL PRIVATE MONEY. IT

RECONNECTED THE STREET GRID, 

2400
01:24:08,710 --> 01:24:10,211
CREATED PUBLIC SPACE, AND IT NOW

01:24:10,211 --> 01:24:12,113
CONTRIBUTES TO PROPERTY TAX 

2402
01:24:12,113 --> 01:24:13,348
REVENUES IN D.C. IT'S SOMETHING

2403
01:24:13,348 --> 01:24:14,549
THAT WE REALLY NEED TO DO UP 

2404
01:24:14,549 --> 01:24:16,184
THERE AT PINEHURST. COLLEAGUES.

01:25:10,438 --> 01:25:11,239
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA WANTS TO SAY 

2430
01:25:11,239 --> 01:25:12,774
SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. 

2431
01:25:12,774 --> 01:25:15,276
COLLEAGUES, I WAS FOR OUR 

2432
01:25:15,276 --> 01:25:17,212
CITYWIDE ELECTEDS POSITION EIGHT

2433
01:25:17,212 --> 01:25:18,346

BE ABLE TO SUPPORT BOTH OF YOUR 

2435
01:25:21,783 --> 01:25:25,220
PRIORITIES. AT $5 MILLION A 

2436
01:25:25,220 --> 01:25:26,321
PIECE. IT'S INCREDIBLE WORK 

2437
01:25:26,321 --> 01:25:27,355
THAT YOU'VE REQUESTED TO BE 

2438
01:25:27,355 --> 01:25:28,490
COMPLETED, AND I WAS EXCITED TO 

2439
01:25:28,490 --> 01:25:30,859
SUPPORT YOU IN THAT WAY. WHEN IT

2440
01:25:30,859 --> 01:25:32,360
COMES TO THE DISTRICT 

2441
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:33,761
COUNCILMEMBERS, AS WELL AS THE 

2442
01:25:33,761 --> 01:25:37,198
TENSION WITH S DOT, THE THE LEVY

2443
01:25:37,198 --> 01:25:38,500
DELIVERY PLAN IS OUT OF CYCLE 

2444
01:25:38,500 --> 01:25:39,634
WITH OUR BUDGET CYCLE. THIS HAS 

2445
01:25:39,634 --> 01:25:41,269
BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN 

2446
01:25:41,269 --> 01:25:44,205
DISCUSSING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. 

2447
01:25:44,205 --> 01:25:44,873
I'M IN CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS 

2448
01:25:44,873 --> 01:25:47,075
WITH THE SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF 

2449
01:25:47,075 --> 01:25:48,343
TRANSPORTATION ABOUT THEIR 

2450
01:25:48,343 --> 01:25:50,478
FISCAL MODELS, THEIR FISCAL 

2451
01:25:50,478 --> 01:25:52,247
SUSTAINABILITY, HOW THEY'RE 

2452
01:25:52,247 --> 01:25:53,948
USING THEIR FUNDS. THESE 

2453
01:25:53,948 --> 01:25:54,582
CONVERSATIONS WERE SUPPOSED TO 

2454
01:25:54,582 --> 01:25:56,384
BE TAKING PLACE ALL THROUGHOUT 

2455
01:25:56,384 --> 01:25:58,386
THE BUDGET PROCESS, AND THEY 

2456
01:25:58,386 --> 01:26:00,588
ONLY BEGAN ABOUT A WEEK AGO. AND

2457
01:26:00,588 --> 01:26:01,589
SO I HAVE ANOTHER MEETING WITH 

2458
01:26:01,589 --> 01:26:04,259
THEM NEXT WEEK TO DISCUSS THEIR 

2459
01:26:04,259 --> 01:26:05,426
FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY THAT'S 

2460
01:26:05,426 --> 01:26:06,594
MORE RELATED TO THE INTERFUND 

2461
01:26:06,594 --> 01:26:08,162
LOAN. BUT ONE OF THE TENSIONS 

2462
01:26:08,162 --> 01:26:10,698
THAT WE'RE RUNNING INTO IS S 

2463
01:26:10,698 --> 01:26:12,367
DOT'S RESPONSIVENESS, JUST KIND

2464
01:26:12,367 --> 01:26:17,005
OF PERIOD. WE HAVE FOUND S TO BE

2465
01:26:17,005 --> 01:26:20,341
RESPONSIVE BY USING THE DISTRICT

2466
01:26:20,341 --> 01:26:22,477
PROJECT FUND. AND THIS IS 

2467
01:26:22,477 --> 01:26:25,880
ANOTHER SITUATION OF ADDING 

2468
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,016
PROVISOS TO SEE WORK GET DONE IN

2469
01:26:28,016 --> 01:26:29,584
DEPARTMENTS. S DOT IS A 

2470
01:26:29,584 --> 01:26:30,685
DEPARTMENT THAT HISTORICALLY HAS

2471
01:26:30,685 --> 01:26:31,986
NOT BEEN ABLE TO SHARE WITH US 

2472
01:26:31,986 --> 01:26:33,421
WHAT THE TRADE OFFS ARE, AND I 

2473
01:26:33,421 --> 01:26:35,323
BELIEVE THAT IT IS DUE IN PART 

2474
01:26:35,323 --> 01:26:38,593
TO THEIR FISCAL ACCOUNTING 

2475
01:26:38,593 --> 01:26:40,328
PRACTICES AS WELL AS TO THEIR 

2476
01:26:40,328 --> 01:26:42,964
LIMITED BUDGET. AND SO ONE PART 

2477
01:26:42,964 --> 01:26:47,402
OF THIS WORK TO IT, MY GOAL 

2478
01:26:47,402 --> 01:26:49,270
WOULD BE SO THAT THERE WOULD BE 

2479
01:26:49,270 --> 01:26:50,705
NO PROVISOS FROM COUNCIL ON THE 

2480
01:26:50,705 --> 01:26:53,041
S DOT BUDGET. MY GOAL WOULD BE 

2481
01:26:53,041 --> 01:26:54,576
NO PROVISOS ON ANY DEPARTMENT 

2482
01:26:54,576 --> 01:26:57,512
FOR ANY BUDGET, BUT I THINK THAT

2483
01:26:57,512 --> 01:26:59,280
IS FARTHER AWAY FOR S DOT THAN 

2484
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,716
ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT. AND ONE OF

2485
01:27:01,716 --> 01:27:05,153
THOSE SOLUTIONS HERE IS 

2486
01:27:05,153 --> 01:27:06,387
PROVIDING DISTRICT PROJECT 

2487
01:27:06,387 --> 01:27:08,089
FUNDS. AND SO I REALLY WANT TO 

2488
01:27:08,089 --> 01:27:09,757
APPRECIATE COUNCILMEMBER SAKA 

2489
01:27:09,757 --> 01:27:11,159
FOR REQUESTING, I THINK THE 

2490
01:27:11,159 --> 01:27:12,527
ORIGINAL REQUEST WAS $18 

2491
01:27:12,527 --> 01:27:13,861
MILLION. IF THAT WASN'T YOUR 

2492
01:27:13,861 --> 01:27:14,862
REQUEST, THAT WAS THE NUMBER I 

2493
01:27:14,862 --> 01:27:17,932
HAD IN MY MIND, BECAUSE I THINK 

2494
01:27:17,932 --> 01:27:20,234
IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO GIVE 

2495
01:27:20,234 --> 01:27:23,304
EACH COUNCILMEMBER $1 MILLION TO

2496
01:27:23,304 --> 01:27:25,340
SPEND FOR CITY WIDE OR DISTRICT 

2497
01:27:25,340 --> 01:27:26,207
PRIORITIES, $1 MILLION PER YEAR,

2498
01:27:26,207 --> 01:27:28,509
BECAUSE JUST ONE CROSSWALK CAN 

2499
01:27:28,509 --> 01:27:30,878
COST $1 MILLION. I MEAN, IF YOU 

2500
01:27:30,878 --> 01:27:33,047

PASSAGES THAT ARE NEEDED THE 

2506
01:27:43,391 --> 01:27:45,493
MOST. AND SO THAT IS WHY WE WERE

2507
01:27:45,493 --> 01:27:48,997
ABLE TO ADD $7 MILLION HERE ONE 

2508
01:27:48,997 --> 01:27:53,268

2509
01:27:53,268 --> 01:27:53,801

SUPPORTED THE CITYWIDE ELECTEDS.

2511
01:27:55,103 --> 01:27:56,671
OTHER PRIORITIES. I WOULD HAVE 

2512
01:27:56,671 --> 01:27:58,940
LOVED TO ADD $14 MILLION, BUT WE

2513
01:27:58,940 --> 01:28:00,775

2514
01:28:00,775 --> 01:28:03,678
WE DID HAVE THE BUDGET FOR $7 

2515
01:28:03,678 --> 01:28:04,312

THIS COUNCIL CREATED A COUPLE 

2526
01:28:22,463 --> 01:28:25,800

THEN IT'S JUST CREATING A 

2605
01:30:58,786 --> 01:31:00,555
SPECIFIC LINE IN THE CAPITAL 

2606
01:31:00,555 --> 01:31:01,422

THE PROJECT WILL STILL EXIST IN 

2613
01:31:13,568 --> 01:31:14,969
THE FUTURE. THERE'S NO FUNDING 

2614
01:31:14,969 --> 01:31:16,437
ALLOCATED TO IT. 

2615
01:31:16,437 --> 01:31:18,673

-- THAT'S CORRECT. IT WILL 

2630
01:31:38,593 --> 01:31:39,126

-- THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR. AND

2635
01:31:44,565 --> 01:31:49,303
WHAT IS THE S DOT CIP BUDGET FOR

2636
01:31:49,303 --> 01:31:49,503

2637
01:31:49,503 --> 01:31:53,007
-- CENTRAL STAFF. 

2638
01:31:53,007 --> 01:31:56,043
-- FOR THIS FOR THIS PROJECT, 

2639
01:31:56,043 --> 01:32:00,414
THE S DOT BUDGET AS PROPOSED WAS

2640
01:32:00,414 --> 01:32:01,449
WAS ZERO FOR THE DISTRICT 

2641
01:32:01,449 --> 01:32:02,783
PROJECT. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT 

2642
01:32:02,783 --> 01:32:03,684
THE DISTRICT? 

2643
01:32:03,684 --> 01:32:04,919
-- I'M GOING TO PULL US BACK 

2644
01:32:04,919 --> 01:32:05,620
OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN 

2645
01:32:05,620 --> 01:32:07,889
I'M GOING TO ASK CENTRAL STAFF 

2646
01:32:07,889 --> 01:32:10,958
TO MAYBE CONFIRM SOME JUST 

2647
01:32:10,958 --> 01:32:13,127
BASELINE FACTS THAT MAY HELP 

2648
01:32:13,127 --> 01:32:14,695
EXPLAIN SOME OF THIS. SO TWO 

2649
01:32:14,695 --> 01:32:17,231
YEARS AGO, WE PUT $14 MILLION 

2650
01:32:17,231 --> 01:32:19,867
INTO THE DISTRICT FUND. THAT WAS

2651
01:32:19,867 --> 01:32:22,303
A ONE TIME ADD OF $14 MILLION 

2652
01:32:22,303 --> 01:32:24,572
INTENDED TO BE DEPLOYED OVER TWO

2653
01:32:24,572 --> 01:32:29,944
YEARS. CLEARLY, WE DID NOT 

2654
01:32:29,944 --> 01:32:30,578
EXPEND THAT TO THAT $14 MILLION 

2655
01:32:30,578 --> 01:32:31,979
OVER TWO YEARS, PARTIALLY 

2656
01:32:31,979 --> 01:32:33,347
BECAUSE THE PROGRAM WAS JUST 

2657
01:32:33,347 --> 01:32:34,348
BEING STARTED. AND SO WE NOW 

2658
01:32:34,348 --> 01:32:36,951
HAVE A SYSTEM AND FUNCTION TO DO

2659
01:32:36,951 --> 01:32:39,153
THOSE DISTRICT PROJECTS. AND 

2660
01:32:39,153 --> 01:32:41,055
SECONDLY, NOT EVERYONE'S 

2661
01:32:41,055 --> 01:32:41,956
PROJECTS AMOUNTED TO THAT AMOUNT

2662
01:32:41,956 --> 01:32:45,426
OF MONEY. AND SO THAT MONEY IS 

2663
01:32:45,426 --> 01:32:48,863
CARRIED FORWARD. WE ARE ADDING 

2664
01:32:48,863 --> 01:32:50,131
$1 MILLION PER COUNCIL DISTRICT 

2665
01:32:50,131 --> 01:32:52,833
RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE'S NOT A 

2666
01:32:52,833 --> 01:32:54,669
DISTINCT AYE. OLS COUNCILMEMBER 

2667
01:32:54,669 --> 01:32:56,270

2668
01:32:56,270 --> 01:32:57,438
EVERYONE'S SPENT. IT'S IT'S A

-- THAT'S CORRECT. 

2678
01:33:12,053 --> 01:33:13,621
-- ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? CENTRAL

2679
01:33:13,621 --> 01:33:13,854
STAFF? 

2680
01:33:13,854 --> 01:33:15,723
-- SO I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THIS

2681
01:33:15,723 --> 01:33:18,893
CBA ADDS MONEY IN 2027. THE 

2682
01:33:18,893 --> 01:33:19,560
MAYOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET DID NOT

2683
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:22,763
HAVE ANY FUNDING INCLUDED IN THE

2684
01:33:22,763 --> 01:33:25,266
CIP. IN 27. 

2685
01:33:25,266 --> 01:33:27,435
-- CAN I CLARIFY ANY. 

2686
01:33:27,435 --> 01:33:29,937
-- ANY MONEY UNSPENT FROM THIS 

2687
01:33:29,937 --> 01:33:31,672
YEAR AND LAST YEAR WOULD CARRY 

2688
01:33:31,672 --> 01:33:33,574
FORWARD INTO NEXT YEAR? 

2689
01:33:33,574 --> 01:33:34,575
-- OKAY. NOW I'M GOING TO GO 

2690
01:33:34,575 --> 01:33:37,411
CALVIN AND THEN BACK TO YOU. 

2691
01:33:37,411 --> 01:33:37,912
-- COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER 

2692
01:33:37,912 --> 01:33:38,579
COUNCILMEMBER, I JUST WANTED TO 

2693
01:33:38,579 --> 01:33:39,113
MAKE THAT POINT AS WELL. 

2694
01:33:39,113 --> 01:33:41,615
-- OKAY, GREAT. NOW BACK TO YOU,

2695
01:33:41,615 --> 01:33:42,183
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER ALWAYS 

2696
01:33:42,183 --> 01:33:42,750
ASKING THE GOOD QUESTIONS. 

2697
01:33:42,750 --> 01:33:43,417
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M JUST 

2698
01:33:43,417 --> 01:33:45,353
GOING TO CLARIFY MY QUESTION. I 

2699
01:33:45,353 --> 01:33:46,954
APPRECIATE THE CLARITY THERE IN 

2700
01:33:46,954 --> 01:33:48,389
TERMS OF THE RESOURCES THAT ARE 

2701
01:33:48,389 --> 01:33:50,524
CURRENTLY IN THE FUND. I WAS 

2702
01:33:50,524 --> 01:33:53,060
ACTUALLY JUST ASKING ABOUT S 

2703
01:33:53,060 --> 01:33:53,728
DOT'S TOTAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT

2704
01:33:53,728 --> 01:33:54,662
PROJECT BUDGET. 

2705
01:33:54,662 --> 01:33:57,431
-- O THE TOTAL CAPITAL 

2706
01:33:57,431 --> 01:33:57,898
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. 

2707
01:33:57,898 --> 01:33:58,933
-- I'M GOING TO ASK FOR THE 

2708
01:33:58,933 --> 01:34:01,435
TEAM TO GET BACK TO YOU AFTER 

2709
01:34:01,435 --> 01:34:02,870
THIS, BECAUSE THAT'S A MUCH 

2710
01:34:02,870 --> 01:34:04,739
DEEPER CONVERSATION THAN I THINK

2711
01:34:04,739 --> 01:34:05,673
WE WERE PREPARED FOR TODAY. 

2712
01:34:05,673 --> 01:34:07,241
UNLESS YOU'VE GOT IT AT THE TIP

2713
01:34:07,241 --> 01:34:08,576
OF YOUR FINGERS. 

2714
01:34:08,576 --> 01:34:11,178
-- WHICH MIGHT BE, I SEE YOU 

2715
01:34:11,178 --> 01:34:11,545
FLIPPING PAGES. 

2716
01:34:11,545 --> 01:34:12,580
-- I'M GOING TO ASK FOR US TO 

2717
01:34:12,580 --> 01:34:13,648
KEEP MOVING ON, IF THAT'S ALL 

2718
01:34:13,648 --> 01:34:14,482
RIGHT WITH YOU, COUNCILMEMBER. 

2719
01:34:14,482 --> 01:34:15,483
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOOK 

2720
01:34:15,483 --> 01:34:16,317
FORWARD TO FOLLOWING UP OFFLINE.

2721
01:34:16,317 --> 01:34:17,485
THANK YOU. CHAIR. 

2722
01:34:17,485 --> 01:34:19,654
-- THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES. ANY 

2723
01:34:19,654 --> 01:34:22,123
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON PAGE 23?

2724
01:34:22,123 --> 01:34:23,758
AGAIN, WHEN WE GET TO NEXT WEEK,

2725
01:34:23,758 --> 01:34:25,059
I'M GOING TO BE MUCH MORE 

2726
01:34:25,059 --> 01:34:27,528
AGGRESSIVE IN MY FACILITATION. 

2727
01:34:27,528 --> 01:34:28,629
JUST I NOTICED WE HAD A LITTLE 

2728
01:34:28,629 --> 01:34:30,164
TALKING OVER EACH OTHER JUST A 

2729
01:34:30,164 --> 01:34:33,567
SECOND AGO MOVING ON TO SLIDE 

2730
01:34:33,567 --> 01:34:38,973
24. 

2731
01:34:38,973 --> 01:34:39,306
-- ALL RIGHT. 

2732
01:34:39,306 --> 01:34:44,912
-- S .12, 14, AND 15 ARE THREE 

2733
01:34:44,912 --> 01:34:48,149
NEW PROPOSALS S .12 WOULD 

2734
01:34:48,149 --> 01:34:50,751
PROVIDE $6.8 MILLION IN S DOT 

2735
01:34:50,751 --> 01:34:52,653
FOR THE SCHOOL SAFETY CIP 

2736
01:34:52,653 --> 01:34:53,521
PROJECT. THAT'S THE AMOUNT OF 

2737
01:34:53,521 --> 01:34:56,257
FUNDING. THAT'S ANTICIPATED TO 

2738
01:34:56,257 --> 01:34:57,191
BE AVAILABLE OR THAT'S PROPOSED

2739
01:34:57,191 --> 01:34:59,994
TO BE AVAILABLE FOR SAFE ROUTES 

2740
01:34:59,994 --> 01:35:09,703
TO SCHOOL PROJECTS. S .14 WOULD 

2741
01:35:09,703 --> 01:35:12,006
PROVIDE $250,000 IN START FOR 

2742
01:35:12,006 --> 01:35:14,542
PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC SAFETY 

2743
01:35:14,542 --> 01:35:18,079
IMPROVEMENTS IN DISTRICT SIX. 

2744
01:35:18,079 --> 01:35:20,414
AND S .15 WOULD PROVIDE $2.5 

2745
01:35:20,414 --> 01:35:21,082
MILLION IN S S DOT TO SUPPORT 

2746
01:35:21,082 --> 01:35:24,285
BUS SERVICE ON ROUTES 15 AND 17.

2747
01:35:24,285 --> 01:35:25,453
-- THANK YOU, I SEE CALVIN, DO 

2748
01:35:25,453 --> 01:35:27,555
YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? 

2749
01:35:27,555 --> 01:35:28,522
-- YEAH. JUST TO ANSWER THE 

2750
01:35:28,522 --> 01:35:30,057
QUESTION ABOUT HOW MUCH IS IN 

2751
01:35:30,057 --> 01:35:32,093
THE S DOT CIP IN THE MAYOR'S 

2752
01:35:32,093 --> 01:35:35,830
PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 27, THERE IS

2753
01:35:35,830 --> 01:35:37,631
$294 MILLION ASSIGNED TO THE 

2754
01:35:37,631 --> 01:35:39,600
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. AND

2755
01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:45,039
IN 2028, IT IS 351 MILLION. 

2756
01:35:45,039 --> 01:35:47,041
-- THANK YOU FOR GETTING THOSE 

2757
01:35:47,041 --> 01:35:47,908
NUMBERS QUICK. I'M GOING TO 

2758
01:35:47,908 --> 01:35:50,044
SPEAK TO THESE THREE NEW 

2759
01:35:50,044 --> 01:35:54,081
PROVISOS. IT CAME OUT TO US LAST

2760
01:35:54,081 --> 01:35:56,350
WEEK THAT THE SAFE ROUTES TO 

2761
01:35:56,350 --> 01:35:57,685
SCHOOL PROJECT FUNDING LINE HAD 

2762
01:35:57,685 --> 01:35:59,086
BEEN CUT. WHEN WE FOLLOWED UP 

2763
01:35:59,086 --> 01:36:01,856
WITH S DOT, THEY SAID THAT WAS 

2764
01:36:01,856 --> 01:36:03,991
NOT TRUE. AND SO WHETHER OR NOT 

2765
01:36:03,991 --> 01:36:07,828
IT WAS OR WAS NOT TRUE, WE ARE 

2766
01:36:07,828 --> 01:36:09,997
MAKING IT VERY CLEAR THROUGH 

2767
01:36:09,997 --> 01:36:11,065
THIS PROVISO OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE

2768
01:36:11,065 --> 01:36:15,536
DONE IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE NOT 

2769
01:36:15,536 --> 01:36:17,571
BE REDUCING, TAKING MONEY FROM 

2770
01:36:17,571 --> 01:36:19,240
KIDS TO GET TO SCHOOL SAFELY IS 

2771
01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:22,476
NOT A WAY TO BALANCE THE BUDGET.

2772
01:36:22,476 --> 01:36:24,912
SECONDLY, THE PROVISO OF 

2773
01:36:24,912 --> 01:36:26,614
$250,000 FOR DISTRICT SIX 

2774
01:36:26,614 --> 01:36:28,716
PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC SAFETY 

2775
01:36:28,716 --> 01:36:31,418
IMPROVEMENT IS SPECIFICALLY AT 

2776
01:36:31,418 --> 01:36:36,023
THE INTERSECTION OF 80th 80th 

2777
01:36:36,023 --> 01:36:36,557
STREET AND STROUD AVENUE. 

2778
01:36:36,557 --> 01:36:37,591
NEIGHBORS CREATED A PETITION, 

2779
01:36:37,591 --> 01:36:39,727
WORKED WITH SDOT TO GET TRAFFIC 

2780
01:36:39,727 --> 01:36:40,661
CALMING MEASURES ON THEIR 

2781
01:36:40,661 --> 01:36:42,763
STREET, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY AN 

2782
01:36:42,763 --> 01:36:44,565
ARTERIAL BETWEEN GREEN LAKE AND 

2783
01:36:44,565 --> 01:36:48,102
80th. S DOT CAME OUT AND 

2784
01:36:48,102 --> 01:36:49,870
PROVIDED SOME SOLUTIONS, WHICH 

2785
01:36:49,870 --> 01:36:51,505
WAS ALL PAINT ON THE GROUND, 

2786
01:36:51,505 --> 01:36:52,940
WHICH HAS NOT BEEN WORKING OR 

2787
01:36:52,940 --> 01:36:55,442
MEETING THE REQUEST OF THE 

2788
01:36:55,442 --> 01:36:57,144
NEIGHBORS. THIS PROVISO IS 

2789
01:36:57,144 --> 01:36:59,046
SPECIFICALLY TO MEET ONE OF 

2790
01:36:59,046 --> 01:37:02,483
THEIR TEN PLUS REQUESTS. THIS 

2791
01:37:02,483 --> 01:37:05,052
ONE. RESPONDS EFFECTIVELY TO NO 

2792
01:37:05,052 --> 01:37:07,688
TURNING LEFT OFF OF 80th DOWN 

2793
01:37:07,688 --> 01:37:10,558
STROUD. THIS IS FOR PAINT AND 

2794
01:37:10,558 --> 01:37:11,992
POST BARRIERS, MUCH LIKE IS AT 

2795
01:37:11,992 --> 01:37:15,029
80th AND ASHWORTH. THIS IS THE 

2796
01:37:15,029 --> 01:37:16,697
REQUEST. THIS IS ONE OF MANY 

2797
01:37:16,697 --> 01:37:18,165
REQUESTS THAT THE NEIGHBORS 

2798
01:37:18,165 --> 01:37:21,202
MADE. S DOT WENT OUT, DID WORK, 

2799
01:37:21,202 --> 01:37:24,104
WAS IN. DID NOT DO THE WORK AS 

2800
01:37:24,104 --> 01:37:25,539
REQUESTED. WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE

2801
01:37:25,539 --> 01:37:28,075
TO DO THE WORK AS REQUESTED, BUT

2802
01:37:28,075 --> 01:37:29,777
THE WORK THAT THEY PROVIDED WAS 

2803
01:37:29,777 --> 01:37:30,311
INSUFFICIENT TO MEET THE 

2804
01:37:30,311 --> 01:37:31,912
NEIGHBORS NEEDS. WHICH IS WHY 

2805
01:37:31,912 --> 01:37:33,881
I'M PUTTING A PROVISO IN HERE 

2806
01:37:33,881 --> 01:37:34,915
FOR NO LEFT TURN. LEFT HAND 

2807
01:37:34,915 --> 01:37:38,085
TURNS OFF OF 80th ONTO STROUD. 

2808
01:37:38,085 --> 01:37:40,688
LAST ONE HERE IS THE PROVISO IN 

2809
01:37:40,688 --> 01:37:44,391
S DOT TO SUPPORT BUS SERVICE ON 

2810
01:37:44,391 --> 01:37:46,994
THE 15 OR 17 ROUTES. COLLEAGUES 

2811
01:37:46,994 --> 01:37:48,996
IN OUR REVENUE FORECAST THE 

2812
01:37:48,996 --> 01:37:50,764
SEATTLE TRANSIT MEASURE CAME IN 

2813
01:37:50,764 --> 01:37:53,334
WITH AN ADDITIONAL $2.5 MILLION 

2814
01:37:53,334 --> 01:37:56,637
OF SALES TAX REVENUE FOR NEXT 

2815
01:37:56,637 --> 01:38:01,575
YEAR INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, TO 

2816
01:38:01,575 --> 01:38:03,777
PROVIDE ALL DAY SERVICE, DIRECT 

2817
01:38:03,777 --> 01:38:06,247
BUS SERVICE TO BALLARD ALSO 

2818
01:38:06,247 --> 01:38:08,616
COSTS $2.5 MILLION PER YEAR. 

2819
01:38:08,616 --> 01:38:11,952
THIS IS PEAK SERVICE WITH ENOUGH

2820
01:38:11,952 --> 01:38:13,087
FREQUENCY TO GET TO AND FROM 

2821
01:38:13,087 --> 01:38:14,655
WORK. IT GOES DOWN TO ONCE AN 

2822
01:38:14,655 --> 01:38:18,292
HOUR SERVICE MIDDAY AND EXTENDS 

2823
01:38:18,292 --> 01:38:23,297
TILL 8 P.M. AT NIGHT THIS, THE 

2824
01:38:23,297 --> 01:38:25,099
REASON THAT I BRING THIS FORWARD

2825
01:38:25,099 --> 01:38:26,734
IS BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN AN 

2826
01:38:26,734 --> 01:38:28,569
ONGOING CONVERSATION FOR QUITE 

2827
01:38:28,569 --> 01:38:31,639
SOME TIME. THE CURRENT TRAVEL 

2828
01:38:31,639 --> 01:38:33,774
TIMES BY BUS WITHOUT THE DIRECT 

2829
01:38:33,774 --> 01:38:37,444
SERVICE FROM DOWNTOWN TO BALLARD

2830
01:38:37,444 --> 01:38:38,646
IS 40 TO 45 MINUTES. THAT'S 

2831
01:38:38,646 --> 01:38:42,283
SCHEDULED TIME, NOT ACTUAL TIME.

2832
01:38:42,283 --> 01:38:44,618
EVEN JUST I MEAN, IN THE S DOT 

2833
01:38:44,618 --> 01:38:45,920
SLIDES EARLIER THIS YEAR 

2834
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:47,321
REGARDING SEATTLE TRANSIT 

2835
01:38:47,321 --> 01:38:48,822
MEASURE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE 

2836
01:38:48,822 --> 01:38:50,190
SAME FREQUENCY OF SERVICE THAT 

2837
01:38:50,190 --> 01:38:52,660
THE REST OF THE CITY BENEFITS 

2838
01:38:52,660 --> 01:38:56,397
FROM STOPS AT 15th AND LEARY, IT

2839
01:38:56,397 --> 01:38:58,432
WAS SAID AT THE TIME THAT THAT 

2840
01:38:58,432 --> 01:39:01,201
MEANT THAT THERE WAS FREQUENT 

2841
01:39:01,201 --> 01:39:03,103
SERVICE GOING TO BALLARD. 

2842
01:39:03,103 --> 01:39:07,107
TECHNICALLY, THAT IS ACCURATE BY

2843
01:39:07,107 --> 01:39:09,009
ABOUT THREE BLOCKS. RIGHT NOW, 

2844
01:39:09,009 --> 01:39:11,612
TRAVEL TIMES FROM DOWNTOWN 

2845
01:39:11,612 --> 01:39:13,447
SEATTLE TO BALLARD BY BUS ARE 

2846
01:39:13,447 --> 01:39:16,717
SIMILAR TO THE TRAVEL TIMES FROM

2847
01:39:16,717 --> 01:39:21,789
DOWNTOWN TO TACOMA. BY BUS. IF 

2848
01:39:21,789 --> 01:39:22,890
WE. BALLARD IS A REGIONAL GROWTH

2849
01:39:22,890 --> 01:39:25,092
CENTER. WE'VE TAKEN ON A LOT OF

2850
01:39:25,092 --> 01:39:27,227
DENSITY AND IT IS CRITICAL FOR 

2851
01:39:27,227 --> 01:39:28,929
US TO HAVE THE TRANSIT 

2852
01:39:28,929 --> 01:39:30,130
RELIABILITY THAT WE NEED TO 

2853
01:39:30,130 --> 01:39:33,834
MATCH THIS DENSITY. I GOT A 

2854
01:39:33,834 --> 01:39:35,502
COMMITMENT FROM THE MAYOR 

2855
01:39:35,502 --> 01:39:36,136
EARLIER THIS YEAR FOR ASSISTANCE

2856
01:39:36,136 --> 01:39:40,641
IN MAKING TRANSIT FASTER TO 

2857
01:39:40,641 --> 01:39:43,110
BALLARD. IT'S BEEN RADIO 

2858
01:39:43,110 --> 01:39:44,545
SILENCE SINCE THEN. WHEN THIS 

2859
01:39:44,545 --> 01:39:47,047
WAS DISCUSSED AT THE SOUND 

2860
01:39:47,047 --> 01:39:48,082
TRANSIT PUBLIC MEETING JUST A 

2861
01:39:48,082 --> 01:39:50,484
FEW WEEKS AGO, SHE SUGGESTED 

2862
01:39:50,484 --> 01:39:52,519
THAT BUS LANES WERE THE ANSWER. 

2863
01:39:52,519 --> 01:39:54,822
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S ONE 

2864
01:39:54,822 --> 01:39:57,925
LANE ROADS FOR THE RAPID RIDE DE

2865
01:39:57,925 --> 01:39:59,727
WHERE WE CAN'T PUT BUS LANES, 

2866
01:39:59,727 --> 01:40:02,129
AND THE ROUTE 40 WAS JUST JUST 

2867
01:40:02,129 --> 01:40:03,497
HAD A RIBBON CUTTING LAST WEEK 

2868
01:40:03,497 --> 01:40:07,201
WHILE WE WERE HERE ON THE DAIS. 

2869
01:40:07,201 --> 01:40:09,436
THOSE ROUTE 40 IMPROVEMENTS DID 

2870
01:40:09,436 --> 01:40:12,639
HELP. THEY CHANGED TRAVEL TIMES 

2871
01:40:12,639 --> 01:40:17,611
FROM 55 MINUTES TO 45 MINUTES. 

2872
01:40:17,611 --> 01:40:19,546
THIS PROVISO HERE IS A PROVISO 

2873
01:40:19,546 --> 01:40:21,715
FOR. HOWEVER, WE CAN GET DIRECT 

2874
01:40:21,715 --> 01:40:23,650
SERVICE TRANSIT SERVICE TO 

2875
01:40:23,650 --> 01:40:24,284
BALLARD FASTEST. MY PREFERENCE 

2876
01:40:24,284 --> 01:40:26,186
IS FOR THE 15 X, WHICH IS 

2877
01:40:26,186 --> 01:40:27,488
ESSENTIALLY THE RAPID RIDE 

2878
01:40:27,488 --> 01:40:28,956
EXPRESS. BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT 

2879
01:40:28,956 --> 01:40:30,524
NOW BECAUSE METRO SUSPENDED THAT

2880
01:40:30,524 --> 01:40:34,928
ROUTE. WE CAN UTILIZE THE 17 X 

2881
01:40:34,928 --> 01:40:36,630
BY INCREASING THE FUNDING 

2882
01:40:36,630 --> 01:40:39,199
THROUGH THIS PROVISO. IT DOES 

2883
01:40:39,199 --> 01:40:40,334
REQUIRE A COUNTY COUNCIL VOTE 

2884
01:40:40,334 --> 01:40:42,569
BECAUSE OF THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE

2885
01:40:42,569 --> 01:40:44,471
CHANGE, INCREASE. AND I'VE 

2886
01:40:44,471 --> 01:40:46,540
ALREADY BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH

2887
01:40:46,540 --> 01:40:48,675
COUNTY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES, 

2888
01:40:48,675 --> 01:40:49,777
COLLEAGUES. I JUST SAY, IF YOU 

2889
01:40:49,777 --> 01:40:52,613
THINK THAT WE NEED MORE DENSITY,

2890
01:40:52,613 --> 01:40:53,947
ESPECIALLY IF YOU THINK THAT WE 

2891
01:40:53,947 --> 01:40:55,582
NEED TO BE ADDING MORE DENSITY 

2892
01:40:55,582 --> 01:40:57,251
IN BALLARD OR THAT BALLARD HAS 

2893
01:40:57,251 --> 01:40:59,453
TAKEN ON. IF YOU THINK THAT 

2894
01:40:59,453 --> 01:41:01,255
BALLARD HAS TAKEN ON DENSITY IN 

2895
01:41:01,255 --> 01:41:02,356
THE LAST DECADE, THIS IS 

2896
01:41:02,356 --> 01:41:04,057
SOMETHING THAT I NEED YOUR 

2897
01:41:04,057 --> 01:41:06,960
SUPPORT ON, BECAUSE WE NEED TO 

2898
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:09,496
HAVE A COMMENSURATE LEVEL OF 

2899
01:41:09,496 --> 01:41:11,598
TRANSIT SERVICE IN THE REGIONAL 

2900
01:41:11,598 --> 01:41:12,232
CENTER AS COMPARED TO THE REST 

2901
01:41:12,232 --> 01:41:16,737
OF THE CITY. THANK YOU. 

2902
01:41:16,737 --> 01:41:17,805
COLLEAGUES. ANY FURTHER 

2903
01:41:17,805 --> 01:41:20,474
QUESTIONS ON THIS? COUNCILMEMBER

2904
01:41:20,474 --> 01:41:20,707
KETTLE? 

2905
01:41:20,707 --> 01:41:23,444
-- THANK YOU, CHAIR. AND YES, 

2906
01:41:23,444 --> 01:41:24,645
REGIONAL CENTERS SHOULD BE IN A 

2907
01:41:24,645 --> 01:41:25,879
SPECIAL CATEGORY. AND THE FACT 

2908
01:41:25,879 --> 01:41:28,515
THAT BALLARD REGIONAL CENTER 

2909
01:41:28,515 --> 01:41:29,616
DOESN'T HAVE THAT SUPPORT, 

2910
01:41:29,616 --> 01:41:31,652
THERE'S REALLY A BLACK MARK ON 

2911
01:41:31,652 --> 01:41:33,253
SOUND TRANSIT AND COUNTY AND THE

2912
01:41:33,253 --> 01:41:36,090
CITY. I JUST WANTED TO 

2913
01:41:36,090 --> 01:41:38,459
HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, SDOT, THE 

2914
01:41:38,459 --> 01:41:42,062
NEW SDOT 12, A ITEM HERE. IT 

2915
01:41:42,062 --> 01:41:43,430
KIND OF GOES WHAT I WAS JUST 

2916
01:41:43,430 --> 01:41:44,665
TALKING TO. I WAS ASKED ABOUT 

2917
01:41:44,665 --> 01:41:46,967
SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL AND AND IT

2918
01:41:46,967 --> 01:41:49,403
ALSO TALKS ABOUT DISCONNECTS 

2919
01:41:49,403 --> 01:41:51,171
TOO. AND SO I APPRECIATE THIS 

2920
01:41:51,171 --> 01:41:53,474
HAVING IN BEING PUT IN AND IT'S

2921
01:41:53,474 --> 01:41:54,942
REALLY IMPORTANT. AND I JUST 

2922
01:41:54,942 --> 01:41:56,977
WANTED TO ADD A LITTLE STORY 

2923
01:41:56,977 --> 01:42:00,314
FROM YESTERDAY MORNING. 

2924
01:42:00,314 --> 01:42:02,983
YESTERDAY MORNING THAT INCLUDES 

2925
01:42:02,983 --> 01:42:03,584
COUNCILMEMBER LIN. YESTERDAY 

2926
01:42:03,584 --> 01:42:05,919
MORNING I WENT TO ELEMENTARY AND

2927
01:42:05,919 --> 01:42:08,222
SPOKE TO THE ENTIRE THIRD GRADE 

2928
01:42:08,222 --> 01:42:09,556
ON THE ELECTION DAY. AND I WAS 

2929
01:42:09,556 --> 01:42:11,492
TALKING ABOUT GOVERNMENT, AND I 

2930
01:42:11,492 --> 01:42:14,228
HAD ALL MY SHOW AND TELL BECAUSE

2931
01:42:14,228 --> 01:42:14,862
WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THIRD 

2932
01:42:14,862 --> 01:42:15,662
GRADE, I WAS STILL A STAY AT 

2933
01:42:15,662 --> 01:42:17,297
HOME DAD. AND I REMEMBER IT. 

2934
01:42:17,297 --> 01:42:19,933
IT'S NOT THAT LONG AGO. AND SO 

2935
01:42:19,933 --> 01:42:22,402
ENGAGING WITH THE KIDS, TALKING 

2936
01:42:22,402 --> 01:42:22,970
FEDERAL, THE PRESIDENT, YOU 

2937
01:42:22,970 --> 01:42:24,872
KNOW, AND SO FORTH, AND COMING 

2938
01:42:24,872 --> 01:42:26,406

01:42:26,406 --> 01:42:28,742
LEVEL, AND I DIDN'T HAVE A SIGN,

2940
01:42:28,742 --> 01:42:32,713
BUT I SAID, DON'T WORRY, YOUR 

2941
01:42:32,713 --> 01:42:33,847
YOUR COUNCILMEMBER AYE DOESN'T 

2942
01:42:33,847 --> 01:42:37,184
LIVE TOO FAR. AND BE HIS SIGNS 

2943
01:42:37,184 --> 01:42:38,118
ACTUALLY SOMEWHERE ELSE. I 

2944
01:42:38,118 --> 01:42:39,553
WON'T SAY EXACTLY WHERE, BUT IT

2945
01:42:39,553 --> 01:42:40,787
WASN'T WITH ME IN TERMS OF 

2946
01:42:40,787 --> 01:42:43,157
BEING SHOW AND TELL AND BUT THEN

2947
01:42:43,157 --> 01:42:45,259
WE GET TO THE LOCAL LEVEL AND I 

2948
01:42:45,259 --> 01:42:46,827
WAS EXPLAINING TO THE KIDS THE 

2949
01:42:46,827 --> 01:42:48,662
DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE MAKE A 

2950
01:42:48,662 --> 01:42:50,564
DIFFERENCE AS A CITY ON THE 

2951
01:42:50,564 --> 01:42:53,800
LOCAL LEVEL. AND, AND I 

2952
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:56,503
HIGHLIGHTED THE WORK THAT'S BEEN

2953
01:42:56,503 --> 01:42:58,972
DONE IN AND AROUND ELEMENTARY IN

2954
01:42:58,972 --> 01:43:00,140
THE PAST. SOME OF THE WORK THAT 

2955
01:43:00,140 --> 01:43:00,908
WE'VE DONE WHEN I WAS ON THE 

2956
01:43:00,908 --> 01:43:02,075
QUEEN ANNE COMMUNITY COUNCIL, 

2957
01:43:02,075 --> 01:43:03,277
BUT MORE RECENTLY, JUST IN THE 

2958
01:43:03,277 --> 01:43:05,179
LAST YEAR, THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER

2959
01:43:05,179 --> 01:43:08,982
OF IMPROVEMENTS. FOUR WAY STOP 

2960
01:43:08,982 --> 01:43:09,583
INTERSECTIONS WITH CROSSWALKS 

2961
01:43:09,583 --> 01:43:10,817
AND THE LIKE. IT'S REALLY MADE A

2962
01:43:10,817 --> 01:43:11,852
BIG DIFFERENCE. CO ELEMENTARY 

2963
01:43:11,852 --> 01:43:13,353
AND THE KIDS ALL UNDERSTOOD IT 

2964
01:43:13,353 --> 01:43:16,456
BECAUSE THEY SEEN IT AND THEY 

2965
01:43:16,456 --> 01:43:17,090
UNDERSTOOD AND THEY UNDERSTOOD 

2966
01:43:17,090 --> 01:43:19,526
WHY WE WERE DOING IT. I WILL 

2967
01:43:19,526 --> 01:43:20,394
ADMIT, I ALSO NOTED TO THEM, 

2968
01:43:20,394 --> 01:43:22,663
PLEASE GET THE, YOU KNOW, EYE 

2969
01:43:22,663 --> 01:43:24,464
CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, MAYBE 

2970
01:43:24,464 --> 01:43:25,065
ACKNOWLEDGMENT WAVE, BECAUSE 

2971
01:43:25,065 --> 01:43:26,133
MAYBE THE DRIVERS DON'T SEE YOU.

2972
01:43:26,133 --> 01:43:29,903
SO BE CAREFUL. BUT THIS IS 

2973
01:43:29,903 --> 01:43:31,471
REALLY IMPORTANT. AND BY THE 

2974
01:43:31,471 --> 01:43:33,640
WAY, I MENTIONED COUNCILMEMBER 

2975
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:35,375
LIN BECAUSE I FORGOT TO TURN OFF

2976
01:43:35,375 --> 01:43:37,077
MY PHONE AND COUNCILMEMBER LIN 

2977
01:43:37,077 --> 01:43:38,679
CALLED ME AND I SAID, OH, IT'S 

2978
01:43:38,679 --> 01:43:39,279
COUNCILMEMBER LIN. AND I TOOK 

2979
01:43:39,279 --> 01:43:40,747
THE PHONE. I PUT IT ON SPEAKER 

2980
01:43:40,747 --> 01:43:42,216
AND ALL THE KIDS SAID HELLO TO 

2981
01:43:42,216 --> 01:43:43,617
COUNCILMEMBER LIN, AND THEN 

2982
01:43:43,617 --> 01:43:45,152
COUNCILMEMBER LIN. COUNCILMEMBER

2983
01:43:45,152 --> 01:43:46,386
LIN SAID A FEW WORDS BACK TO THE

2984
01:43:46,386 --> 01:43:49,389
TO THE ENTIRE THIRD GRADE OF 

2985
01:43:49,389 --> 01:43:50,757
ELEMENTARY. SO I WANTED TO THANK

2986
01:43:50,757 --> 01:43:53,493
HIM PUBLICLY HERE. SO IT ADDED 

2987
01:43:53,493 --> 01:43:55,829
TO THE DYNAMIC PRESENTATION. AS 

2988
01:43:55,829 --> 01:43:56,697
FOR THOSE THAT KNOW EIGHT AND 

2989
01:43:56,697 --> 01:43:58,999
NINE YEAR OLDS, YOU HAVE TO BE 

2990
01:43:58,999 --> 01:44:00,534
DYNAMIC IN YOUR PRESENTATION. SO

2991
01:44:00,534 --> 01:44:02,603
THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER LIN, 

2992
01:44:02,603 --> 01:44:04,471
AND THANK YOU, CHAIR AND VICE 

2993
01:44:04,471 --> 01:44:04,705
CHAIR. 

2994
01:44:04,705 --> 01:44:07,307
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

2995
01:44:07,307 --> 01:44:07,908
KETTLE COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER. 

2996
01:44:07,908 --> 01:44:09,810
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. 

2997
01:44:09,810 --> 01:44:10,677
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH, VICE 

2998
01:44:10,677 --> 01:44:13,413
CHAIR. I JUST WANTED TO ASK 

2999
01:44:13,413 --> 01:44:14,548
ABOUT THIS ONE ONLY BECAUSE THIS

3000
01:44:14,548 --> 01:44:17,484
IS THE FIRST TIME WE'RE 

3001
01:44:17,484 --> 01:44:20,020
DISCUSSING IT. SO IF WE'RE AS 

3002
01:44:20,020 --> 01:44:20,654
WE'RE CONSIDERING PROVIDING 

3003
01:44:20,654 --> 01:44:23,056
THIS, HOW DO THESE ROUTES 14 AND

3004
01:44:23,056 --> 01:44:26,860
15, DO WE KNOW HOW THEY COMPARE 

3005
01:44:26,860 --> 01:44:27,894
TO. I'M FORGETTING THE NAME OF 

3006
01:44:27,894 --> 01:44:29,329
THE MATRIX THAT SDOT DOES WHEN 

3007
01:44:29,329 --> 01:44:31,632
THEY'RE DETERMINING HOW TO 

3008
01:44:31,632 --> 01:44:32,265
PRIORITIZE SERVICE. DO WE KNOW 

3009
01:44:32,265 --> 01:44:34,868
IF THESE WOULD BE ROUTES THAT 

3010
01:44:34,868 --> 01:44:39,139
ARE IN THE. THE TOP TIER IN THAT

3011
01:44:39,139 --> 01:44:39,640
PRIORITIZATION MATRIX? 

3012
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:43,343
-- THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. 

3013
01:44:43,343 --> 01:44:45,445
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER. SO ROUTE 

3014
01:44:45,445 --> 01:44:48,715
15 IS NO LONGER ACTIVE SO IT'S 

3015
01:44:48,715 --> 01:44:50,984
NOT IT'S NOT PART OF THE MENU. 

3016
01:44:50,984 --> 01:44:56,023
AND IN ORDER TO HAVE A ROUTE 

3017
01:44:56,023 --> 01:44:57,124
CREATED OR REINSTATED, IT WOULD 

3018
01:44:57,124 --> 01:45:00,894
TAKE A VOTE OF THE KING COUNTY 

3019
01:45:00,894 --> 01:45:05,499
COUNCIL. ROUTE 17 IS OPERATING 

3020
01:45:05,499 --> 01:45:10,437
RIGHT NOW, AND IT IS NOT THE 

3021
01:45:10,437 --> 01:45:11,038
PRIORITY WITHIN THE FREQUENT 

3022
01:45:11,038 --> 01:45:11,772
TRANSIT NETWORK, WHICH I THINK 

3023
01:45:11,772 --> 01:45:15,642
IS WHAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO 

3024
01:45:15,642 --> 01:45:15,909
EARLIER. 

3025
01:45:15,909 --> 01:45:16,143
-- AYE. 

3026
01:45:16,143 --> 01:45:17,711
-- I GUESS I WOULD ADD THAT THE 

3027
01:45:17,711 --> 01:45:21,148
15 AND 17 WERE PRIMARILY EXPRESS

3028
01:45:21,148 --> 01:45:21,682
ROUTES TO HANDLE COMMUTER 

3029
01:45:21,682 --> 01:45:26,386
TRAFFIC. THEY WERE LARGELY TAKEN

3030
01:45:26,386 --> 01:45:27,320
OVER BY THE RAPID RIDE SERVICE, 

3031
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:29,623
WHICH DOES MAKE A DETOUR THROUGH

3032
01:45:29,623 --> 01:45:33,226
THROUGH LOWER QUEEN ANNE. SO 

3033
01:45:33,226 --> 01:45:35,128
THEY DO CONNECT REGIONAL 

3034
01:45:35,128 --> 01:45:36,496
CENTERS. THEY HAVE BEEN FOCUSED,

3035
01:45:36,496 --> 01:45:39,466
ESPECIALLY PRIOR TO COVID, WHEN,

3036
01:45:39,466 --> 01:45:41,335
YOU KNOW, OVERFLOW WAS WAS A 

3037
01:45:41,335 --> 01:45:43,870
REALLY BIG PRIORITY. THEY THEY 

3038
01:45:43,870 --> 01:45:45,372
DID RECEIVE A LOT OF FUNDING AT 

3039
01:45:45,372 --> 01:45:50,344
THAT TIME OVERFLOW IS BEEN LESS 

3040
01:45:50,344 --> 01:45:52,179
IMPORTANT SINCE COVID TO DEAL 

3041
01:45:52,179 --> 01:45:54,047
WITH SORT OF THE OVERALL 

3042
01:45:54,047 --> 01:45:56,917
NETWORK. SO THEY STILL DO 

3043
01:45:56,917 --> 01:45:57,384
SUPPORT THE REGIONAL 

3044
01:45:57,384 --> 01:46:01,822
CONNECTIVITY, BUT IT IS A IT 

3045
01:46:01,822 --> 01:46:02,456
WILL REQUIRE CONVERSATIONS WITH 

3046
01:46:02,456 --> 01:46:03,957
KING COUNTY AND KING COUNTY 

3047
01:46:03,957 --> 01:46:05,058
COUNCIL ULTIMATELY MAKES 

3048
01:46:05,058 --> 01:46:07,561
DECISIONS ON THE ROUTING. 

3049
01:46:07,561 --> 01:46:08,128
-- COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER YOU 

3050
01:46:08,128 --> 01:46:08,628
STILL HAVE THE FLOOR. 

3051
01:46:08,628 --> 01:46:09,563
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR. AND

3052
01:46:09,563 --> 01:46:13,767
SO JUST TO CLARIFY, IT WOULD BE 

3053
01:46:13,767 --> 01:46:16,470
BOTH. 15 BOTH AND OR EITHER 15 

3054
01:46:16,470 --> 01:46:18,705
OR 17 WOULD TRIGGER A VOTE FOR 

3055
01:46:18,705 --> 01:46:19,906
THE KING COUNTY COUNCIL, NOT 

3056
01:46:19,906 --> 01:46:23,009
JUST 15. IS THAT ACCURATE? 

3057
01:46:23,009 --> 01:46:23,643
-- WHAT MY UNDERSTANDING IS AND 

3058
01:46:23,643 --> 01:46:25,645
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO CENTRAL 

3059
01:46:25,645 --> 01:46:28,815
STAFF, IS TO DO SERVICE LEVEL 

3060
01:46:28,815 --> 01:46:32,486
INCREASES. SO TO BRING A ROUTE 

3061
01:46:32,486 --> 01:46:34,254
THAT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED, THAT 

3062
01:46:34,254 --> 01:46:36,123
REQUIRES THE TWO YEAR PROCESS. 

3063
01:46:36,123 --> 01:46:38,158
SO THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEGINNING 

3064
01:46:38,158 --> 01:46:39,459
THE TWO YEAR PROCESS. SO THE 

3065
01:46:39,459 --> 01:46:42,863
EARLIEST WE COULD BRING THE 15 

3066
01:46:42,863 --> 01:46:43,964
BACK WOULD PROBABLY BE TWO AND A

3067
01:46:43,964 --> 01:46:47,300
HALF YEARS FROM NOW THEY CAN 

3068
01:46:47,300 --> 01:46:50,103
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ON EXISTING 

3069
01:46:50,103 --> 01:46:52,706
ROUTES WITHIN A CERTAIN RANGE 

3070
01:46:52,706 --> 01:46:55,942
WITHOUT A VOTE OF THE COUNTY 

3071
01:46:55,942 --> 01:46:59,412
COUNCIL TO MAKE AN ALL, TO MAKE 

3072
01:46:59,412 --> 01:47:01,314
THIS LEVEL OF SERVICE INCREASE 

3073
01:47:01,314 --> 01:47:03,016
DOES REQUIRE A VOTE BY THE 

3074
01:47:03,016 --> 01:47:05,118
COUNTY COUNCIL, BECAUSE IT'S 

3075
01:47:05,118 --> 01:47:07,821
CHANGING AN EXISTING ROUTES 

3076
01:47:07,821 --> 01:47:09,122
INCREASE, AND I'LL JUST. AND TO

3077
01:47:09,122 --> 01:47:10,190
ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT YOU 

3078
01:47:10,190 --> 01:47:11,925
ASKED WHILE I HAD STEPPED AWAY 

3079
01:47:11,925 --> 01:47:14,761
FOR JUST A MOMENT, IT IS THE. 

3080
01:47:14,761 --> 01:47:17,130
WHEN SDOT CAME TO COMMITTEE 

3081
01:47:17,130 --> 01:47:19,466
EARLIER THIS YEAR TO TALK ABOUT 

3082
01:47:19,466 --> 01:47:22,869
THE TRANSIT MEASURE, THEY BOTH 

3083
01:47:22,869 --> 01:47:25,338
SAID THAT ROUTE 40 AND THE D 

3084
01:47:25,338 --> 01:47:26,740
LINE WERE THE TWO ROUTES THAT 

3085
01:47:26,740 --> 01:47:29,042
THEY WERE USING THAT MET THEIR 

3086
01:47:29,042 --> 01:47:31,211
METRICS. AND WHAT WAS VERY 

3087
01:47:31,211 --> 01:47:33,013
CLEARLY ARTICULATED RIGHT BACK 

3088
01:47:33,013 --> 01:47:35,949
IS THAT THOSE TWO ROUTES, THOSE 

3089
01:47:35,949 --> 01:47:38,618
THE TRAVEL TIMES, ARE THE ISSUE.

3090
01:47:38,618 --> 01:47:42,189
AND THEN THE FREQUENCY IS ALSO 

3091
01:47:42,189 --> 01:47:44,157
THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE ROUTE 40 

3092
01:47:44,157 --> 01:47:45,525
HAS TO GO OVER THE LOWEST 

3093
01:47:45,525 --> 01:47:46,927
BASCULE BRIDGE IN THE CITY. AND 

3094
01:47:46,927 --> 01:47:49,963
THE D LINE HAS TO GO THROUGH 

3095
01:47:49,963 --> 01:47:55,469
UPTOWN. AND SO. IF LIKE, IF I 

3096
01:47:55,469 --> 01:47:58,505
HAD MY DRUTHERS TODAY, WE'D DO 

3097
01:47:58,505 --> 01:48:00,841
THE 15 BECAUSE IT'S A ROUTE D 

3098
01:48:00,841 --> 01:48:02,609
EXPRESS. BUT RIGHT NOW THE. 17 

3099
01:48:02,609 --> 01:48:04,945
IS THE VEHICLE TO USE UNTIL 

3100
01:48:04,945 --> 01:48:08,982
WE'RE ABLE TO BRING BACK A 

3101
01:48:08,982 --> 01:48:09,616
DIFFERENT ROUTE. OH, LAST THING,

3102
01:48:09,616 --> 01:48:10,584
WHEN WE PASS THE TRANSIT MEASURE

3103
01:48:10,584 --> 01:48:12,853
THIS YEAR, WE ALSO INCLUDED A 

3104
01:48:12,853 --> 01:48:15,222
PROVISION THAT PUTS GROWTH 

3105
01:48:15,222 --> 01:48:16,890
CENTERS IN THE MATRIX THAT DID 

3106
01:48:16,890 --> 01:48:18,558
NOT EXIST BEFORE. THANKS FOR 

3107
01:48:18,558 --> 01:48:19,459
LISTENING TO EVERYTHING I HAD TO

3108
01:48:19,459 --> 01:48:20,460
SAY. FOSTER. YOU'VE GOT THE 

3109
01:48:20,460 --> 01:48:20,694
FLOOR. 

3110
01:48:20,694 --> 01:48:21,328
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH. I JUST 

3111
01:48:21,328 --> 01:48:22,963
WANTED TO ASK IF STAFF COULD 

3112
01:48:22,963 --> 01:48:25,932
RESPOND TO MY QUESTION. PLEASE. 

3113
01:48:25,932 --> 01:48:27,267
HAPPY TO RESTATE. 

3114
01:48:27,267 --> 01:48:29,903
-- ECHO WHAT THE WHAT WHAT OUR 

3115
01:48:29,903 --> 01:48:33,640
BUDGET CHAIR STRAUSS HAS SHARED 

3116
01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:36,943
AND SPECIFICALLY ANY. ANY 

3117
01:48:36,943 --> 01:48:39,446
INVESTMENT THAT REQUIRES AN 

3118
01:48:39,446 --> 01:48:41,181
INCREASE IN A ROUTES BUDGET MORE

3119
01:48:41,181 --> 01:48:44,985
THAN 2,025% REQUIRES THE. THE 

3120
01:48:44,985 --> 01:48:47,854
KING COUNTY COUNCIL ACTION AS 

3121
01:48:47,854 --> 01:48:49,623
WELL AS ADDING A STOP OR 

3122
01:48:49,623 --> 01:48:51,725
REMOVING A STOP EVERY QUARTER OF

3123
01:48:51,725 --> 01:48:56,062
A MILE REQUIRES THEIR ACTION. SO

3124
01:48:56,062 --> 01:48:59,399
CERTAINLY AT THIS LEVEL, THE 

3125
01:48:59,399 --> 01:49:01,635
CHANGES FOR 17 WOULD REQUIRE THE

3126
01:49:01,635 --> 01:49:06,006
COUNCIL'S ACTION. THE KING 

3127
01:49:06,006 --> 01:49:06,573
COUNTY COUNCIL'S ACTION. 

3128
01:49:06,573 --> 01:49:07,107
-- COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER. 

3129
01:49:07,107 --> 01:49:07,741
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND AGAIN,

3130
01:49:07,741 --> 01:49:08,508
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M 

3131
01:49:08,508 --> 01:49:10,243
UNDERSTANDING IT SINCE THIS IS 

3132
01:49:10,243 --> 01:49:12,178
OUR FIRST DISCUSSION ON IT. THE 

3133
01:49:12,178 --> 01:49:14,781
OTHER QUESTION I HAD HERE WAS I 

3134
01:49:14,781 --> 01:49:17,050
HEARD THE CHAIR. CHAIR, I HEARD 

3135
01:49:17,050 --> 01:49:18,485
YOU SAY THIS IS 2.5 MILLION, IN 

3136
01:49:18,485 --> 01:49:21,221
PART BECAUSE THE UPDATED REVENUE

3137
01:49:21,221 --> 01:49:24,824
FORECAST PROJECTS 2.5 MILLION 

3138
01:49:24,824 --> 01:49:27,527
HIGHER IN SALES TAX REVENUE 

3139
01:49:27,527 --> 01:49:29,496
THROUGH STM. AND I JUST WANTED 

3140
01:49:29,496 --> 01:49:31,498
TO I'M I'M HAPPY TO TAKE THIS 

3141
01:49:31,498 --> 01:49:33,199
WITH TOM OFFLINE. DOES THAT 

3142
01:49:33,199 --> 01:49:36,436
ONGOING WHAT THEY'RE 

3143
01:49:36,436 --> 01:49:36,770
ANTICIPATING. 

3144
01:49:36,770 --> 01:49:37,637
-- SO WE'LL CHECK IN WITH TOM. 

3145
01:49:37,637 --> 01:49:41,641
I BELIEVE THAT THAT ONGOING NEW 

3146
01:49:41,641 --> 01:49:44,244
REVENUE IS ONGOING. I WILL STATE

3147
01:49:44,244 --> 01:49:46,646
THAT I HAD BEEN ASKING THE 

3148
01:49:46,646 --> 01:49:48,882
MAYOR'S OFFICE TO RESPOND TO 

3149
01:49:48,882 --> 01:49:51,184
THE COMMITMENTS THAT HAD BEEN 

3150
01:49:51,184 --> 01:49:51,751
MADE IN JULY REGARDING THE 

3151
01:49:51,751 --> 01:49:54,721
CURRENT STM THAT VOTERS JUST 

3152
01:49:54,721 --> 01:49:55,922
APPROVED. THE INFORMATION THAT I

3153
01:49:55,922 --> 01:49:57,857
RECEIVED IS THAT THEY WOULD NOT 

3154
01:49:57,857 --> 01:49:59,893
MAKE ANY DECISIONS UNTIL AFTER 

3155
01:49:59,893 --> 01:50:01,628
ELECTION DAY, WHICH WAS AFTER 

3156
01:50:01,628 --> 01:50:03,563
THE DATE NEEDED TO GET INCREASED

3157
01:50:03,563 --> 01:50:05,599
SERVICE FOR THIS UPCOMING 

3158
01:50:05,599 --> 01:50:06,933
SPRING. THAT ALL HAPPENED 

3159
01:50:06,933 --> 01:50:08,401
ESSENTIALLY LAST WEEK, THE WEEK 

3160
01:50:08,401 --> 01:50:10,070
BEFORE THAT ALL ALSO HAPPENED AT

3161
01:50:10,070 --> 01:50:11,237
THE SAME TIME THAT WE GOT THE 

3162
01:50:11,237 --> 01:50:13,373
REVENUE FORECAST, WHICH IS WHY I

3163
01:50:13,373 --> 01:50:14,908
JUST KEPT ASKING QUESTIONS AND 

3164
01:50:14,908 --> 01:50:16,876
KEPT PUSHING ON IT. I DON'T I 

3165
01:50:16,876 --> 01:50:19,446
WOULD NOT HAVE BROUGHT THIS 

3166
01:50:19,446 --> 01:50:24,184
PROVISO IF WE DID NOT HAVE THAT 

3167
01:50:24,184 --> 01:50:24,751
NEW REVENUE. COUNCILMEMBER 

3168
01:50:24,751 --> 01:50:25,652
FOSTER THEN I DON'T KNOW IF WE 

3169
01:50:25,652 --> 01:50:26,987
NEED TO GO BACK TO CENTRAL 

3170
01:50:26,987 --> 01:50:28,355
STAFF. HAPPY TO HAVE THE 

3171
01:50:28,355 --> 01:50:29,589
CONVERSATION. I LOVE WHERE 

3172
01:50:29,589 --> 01:50:30,056
YOU'RE LEADING US. 

3173
01:50:30,056 --> 01:50:31,124
-- THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR. AND

3174
01:50:31,124 --> 01:50:32,626
AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO THERE'S A

3175
01:50:32,626 --> 01:50:34,327
COUPLE THINGS ON MY MIND HERE, 

3176
01:50:34,327 --> 01:50:36,129
AND I BELIEVE I SUPPORTED YOUR 

3177
01:50:36,129 --> 01:50:38,031
AMENDMENT DURING STM TO INCLUDE 

3178
01:50:38,031 --> 01:50:39,866
REGIONAL CENTERS IN. BECAUSE I 

3179
01:50:39,866 --> 01:50:41,001
WE SHARE A LOT OF THE SAME 

3180
01:50:41,001 --> 01:50:42,502
BELIEFS AROUND DENSITY AND 

3181
01:50:42,502 --> 01:50:44,037
GROWTH AND TRANSIT SERVICE. WHAT

3182
01:50:44,037 --> 01:50:45,171
I'M REALLY SEEKING TO 

3183
01:50:45,171 --> 01:50:45,905
UNDERSTAND, AND I'LL MAKE THIS 

3184
01:50:45,905 --> 01:50:46,573
AS A STATEMENT, AND THEN I'LL 

3185
01:50:46,573 --> 01:50:48,408
TAKE THE REST OF MY INQUIRY 

3186
01:50:48,408 --> 01:50:50,610
OFFLINE. BUT WHAT I'M REALLY 

3187
01:50:50,610 --> 01:50:52,312
SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND IS 

3188
01:50:52,312 --> 01:50:52,912
TIMELINE THAT'S NEEDED FOR 

3189
01:50:52,912 --> 01:50:54,314
APPROVAL BY KING COUNTY COUNCIL,

3190
01:50:54,314 --> 01:50:56,182
HOW THAT RELATES TO PROVIDING 

3191
01:50:56,182 --> 01:50:58,118
THE DOLLARS. ONE, I WANT TO MAKE

3192
01:50:58,118 --> 01:50:58,785
SURE WE'RE NOT PROVIDING DOLLARS

3193
01:50:58,785 --> 01:50:59,986
THAT SIT AND WAIT FOR TWO YEARS 

3194
01:50:59,986 --> 01:51:01,388
WHILE THEY GO THROUGH A COUNTY 

3195
01:51:01,388 --> 01:51:02,856
PROCESS. YOU KNOW, I ALSO, AS A 

3196
01:51:02,856 --> 01:51:05,458
CITYWIDE COUNCILMEMBER, WANT TO 

3197
01:51:05,458 --> 01:51:06,693
UNDERSTAND ANY POTENTIAL TRADE 

3198
01:51:06,693 --> 01:51:08,161
OFFS WITH THIS DECISION. I THINK

3199
01:51:08,161 --> 01:51:09,996
BALLARD CERTAINLY NEEDS MORE 

3200
01:51:09,996 --> 01:51:11,097
SERVICE, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE

3201
01:51:11,097 --> 01:51:12,265
THAT WE'RE SEEING THE BIG 

3202
01:51:12,265 --> 01:51:13,566
PICTURE HERE, BECAUSE I THINK 

3203
01:51:13,566 --> 01:51:14,034
THAT'S PART OF MY 

3204
01:51:14,034 --> 01:51:14,667
RESPONSIBILITY. SO THANK YOU SO 

3205
01:51:14,667 --> 01:51:15,835
MUCH, CHAIR. 

3206

3271
01:53:31,471 --> 01:53:33,206
SITUATION. ALSO JUST CURIOUS TO,

3272
01:53:33,206 --> 01:53:36,176
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HAD A FEW 

3273
01:53:36,176 --> 01:53:38,878
QUESTIONS THAT WERE MORE KIND OF

3274
01:53:38,878 --> 01:53:41,514
ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT 

3275
01:53:41,514 --> 01:53:42,048
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER WAS 

3276
01:53:42,048 --> 01:53:46,886
SPEAKING TO A MOMENT AGO, GIVEN 

3277
01:53:46,886 --> 01:53:50,089
THAT THE, THE PROPOSAL WOULD 

3278
01:53:50,089 --> 01:53:52,492
EFFECTIVELY REQUIRE PARALLEL. 

3279
01:53:52,492 --> 01:53:55,461
KING COUNTY COUNCIL VOTE AND 

3280
01:53:55,461 --> 01:53:57,463
AUTHORIZATION. WHAT HAPPENS? 

3281
01:53:57,463 --> 01:54:00,466
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FUNDING IF 

3282
01:54:00,466 --> 01:54:03,436
THEY THE KING COUNTY COUNCIL 

3283
01:54:03,436 --> 01:54:05,371
EITHER NEVER TOOK IT UP, NEVER 

3284
01:54:05,371 --> 01:54:08,374
CONSIDERED IT, NEVER GRANTED 

3285
01:54:08,374 --> 01:54:09,275
THAT AUTHORIZATION JUST BECAUSE 

3286
01:54:09,275 --> 01:54:11,010
THEY NEVER TOOK IT UP OR THEY 

3287
01:54:11,010 --> 01:54:12,111
CONSIDERED IT AND INTENTIONALLY 

3288
01:54:12,111 --> 01:54:13,913
DECLINED TO DO IT FOR WHATEVER, 

3289
01:54:13,913 --> 01:54:15,481
FOR WHATEVER REASON. WHAT 

3290
01:54:15,481 --> 01:54:18,184
HAPPENS TO THAT FUNDING THEN? 

3291
01:54:18,184 --> 01:54:18,484
-- AMANDA. 

3292
01:54:18,484 --> 01:54:21,721
-- THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. 

3293
01:54:21,721 --> 01:54:23,456
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA. SO THIS ALL 

3294
01:54:23,456 --> 01:54:28,494
OF THIS FUNDING IS HELD WITHIN 

3295
01:54:28,494 --> 01:54:31,030
THE TRANSPORTATION, THE SEATTLE 

3296
01:54:31,030 --> 01:54:32,865
TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT 

3297
01:54:32,865 --> 01:54:34,534
FUND. SO ANY UNSPENT FUNDS FROM 

3298
01:54:34,534 --> 01:54:36,636
ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT STAY WITHIN

3299
01:54:36,636 --> 01:54:39,472
THAT FUND. IF THERE WAS A REASON

3300
01:54:39,472 --> 01:54:41,274
EXACTLY AS YOU DESCRIBED, THAT 

3301
01:54:41,274 --> 01:54:43,443
THEY DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THIS UP

3302
01:54:43,443 --> 01:54:46,012
OR THE PROCESS WAS TOO LONG. 

3303
01:54:46,012 --> 01:54:49,549
THESE FUNDS WOULD STAY PUT 

3304
01:54:49,549 --> 01:54:50,116
WITHIN THIS FUND AND WOULD 

3305
01:54:50,116 --> 01:54:53,152
CONTINUE TO BE ALLOCATED WITHIN 

3306
01:54:53,152 --> 01:54:54,320
THIS PROGRAM AREA. 

3307
01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:57,924
-- I SEE DEPUTY DIRECTOR. 

3308
01:54:57,924 --> 01:54:58,691
-- YES, THE OTHER THING I'D WANT

3309
01:54:58,691 --> 01:55:01,895
TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT, YOU KNOW, 

3310
01:55:01,895 --> 01:55:02,962
WHEN CONSIDERING WHAT THE 

3311
01:55:02,962 --> 01:55:03,963
CITY'S INVESTMENT IN TRANSIT 

3312
01:55:03,963 --> 01:55:05,899
ARE, THESE ARE BIG DOLLARS AND 

3313
01:55:05,899 --> 01:55:08,234
THEY HAVE A VERY HIGH COST 

3314
01:55:08,234 --> 01:55:10,236
ESCALATOR. AND SO IN TERMS OF 

3315
01:55:10,236 --> 01:55:12,171
HOW SDOT HAS TO PROGRAM THAT 

3316
01:55:12,171 --> 01:55:14,807
FUNDING, IT'S NOT LINEAR, 

3317
01:55:14,807 --> 01:55:16,709
RIGHT? WE WE PRESERVE SOME 

3318
01:55:16,709 --> 01:55:17,510
ADDITIONAL MONEY IN IT. AND IT 

3319
01:55:17,510 --> 01:55:18,745
MEANS WHEN WE GET TO THE 

3320
01:55:18,745 --> 01:55:19,912
RENEWAL, WE HAVE TO RECONSIDER 

3321
01:55:19,912 --> 01:55:21,547
WHAT THE WHAT THE RATE IS TO BE 

3322
01:55:21,547 --> 01:55:22,148
ABLE TO PROVIDE WHAT WE'RE 

3323
01:55:22,148 --> 01:55:24,284
DOING. SO ALL OF WHICH TO SAY IS

3324
01:55:24,284 --> 01:55:25,885
THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY, 2.5 

3325
01:55:25,885 --> 01:55:28,488
MILLION IS WELL WITHIN THE WASH.

3326
01:55:28,488 --> 01:55:30,056
THAT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR IN TERMS

3327
01:55:30,056 --> 01:55:33,626
OF TRYING TO PRESERVE MONEY TO 

3328
01:55:33,626 --> 01:55:37,864
KEEP KEEP MONEY, TO HELP ADDRESS

3329
01:55:37,864 --> 01:55:39,299
ADVANCING LABOR COSTS, FRANKLY, 

3330
01:55:39,299 --> 01:55:40,967
AND OVERHEAD COSTS. AS THIS 

3331
01:55:40,967 --> 01:55:42,335
THING GOES FORWARD. SO IT WOULD 

3332
01:55:42,335 --> 01:55:43,803
SIT IN IF IT'S NOT SPENT, IF 

3333
01:55:43,803 --> 01:55:45,171
THE PROVISO IS THERE, IT COULD 

3334
01:55:45,171 --> 01:55:47,974
NOT BE SPENT THIS YEAR. THAT 

3335
01:55:47,974 --> 01:55:51,811
AMOUNT WOULD BE REMAINING IN TBD

3336
01:55:51,811 --> 01:55:53,346
AND THE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO 

3337
01:55:53,346 --> 01:55:56,616
REMOVE THE PROVISO TO MAKE THAT 

3338
01:55:56,616 --> 01:55:59,118
AVAILABLE. AND AND THERE ARE 

3339
01:55:59,118 --> 01:55:59,919
PRESUMABLY OTHER NEEDS THAT WILL

3340
01:55:59,919 --> 01:56:01,187
HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH IN FUTURE 

3341
01:56:01,187 --> 01:56:02,288
YEARS. 

3342
01:56:02,288 --> 01:56:02,622
-- THANK YOU. 

3343
01:56:02,622 --> 01:56:05,024
-- SO SAKA. 

3344
01:56:05,024 --> 01:56:06,492
-- IF THAT KING COUNTY ACTION 

3345
01:56:06,492 --> 01:56:07,093
DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR WHATEVER 

3346
01:56:07,093 --> 01:56:09,195
REASON, THEN IT WOULD 

3347
01:56:09,195 --> 01:56:11,631
AUTOMATICALLY STILL BE 

3348
01:56:11,631 --> 01:56:15,268
RESTRICTED AND. AND THE SEATTLE 

3349
01:56:15,268 --> 01:56:18,104
TRANSIT TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT 

3350
01:56:18,104 --> 01:56:20,606
DISTRICT POT SPECIFICALLY FOR 

3351
01:56:20,606 --> 01:56:22,308
THESE PURPOSES, EXPANSION OF 

3352
01:56:22,308 --> 01:56:23,509
SERVICE ON ON ROUTES 15 AND 17, 

3353
01:56:23,509 --> 01:56:24,444
IT COULD ONLY BE USED FOR THAT. 

3354
01:56:24,444 --> 01:56:26,145
AND THEN THE TRADE OFFS WOULD 

3355
01:56:26,145 --> 01:56:29,415
BE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, WHATEVER

3356
01:56:29,415 --> 01:56:30,083
ELSE, YOU KNOW, MIGHT BE IN THE 

3357
01:56:30,083 --> 01:56:33,486
QUEUE OR IN THE HOPPER, 

3358
01:56:33,486 --> 01:56:35,722
COULDN'T NECESSARILY USE THAT 

3359
01:56:35,722 --> 01:56:38,591
FUNDING FOR TO SUPPORT THOSE. 

3360
01:56:38,591 --> 01:56:40,393
-- THE PROVISO WOULD WOULD EXIST

3361
01:56:40,393 --> 01:56:42,395
ON APPROPRIATIONS IN 27. THIS IS

3362
01:56:42,395 --> 01:56:43,830
OPERATING DOLLARS. SO THE 

3363
01:56:43,830 --> 01:56:45,331
PROVISO THE APPROPRIATIONS THAT 

3364
01:56:45,331 --> 01:56:47,133
ARE NOT SPENT WOULD NOT 

3365
01:56:47,133 --> 01:56:48,034
AUTOMATICALLY CARRY FORWARD. 

3366
01:56:48,034 --> 01:56:49,669
THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE A PROPOSAL

3367
01:56:49,669 --> 01:56:52,638
TO CARRY FORWARD THAT AS PART OF

3368
01:56:52,638 --> 01:56:54,273
A YEAR END OR YEAR END CARRY 

3369
01:56:54,273 --> 01:56:56,476
FORWARD ORDINANCE OR SOME OTHER 

3370
01:56:56,476 --> 01:57:00,380
LEGISLATIVE BODY, AND THEN THE 

3371
01:57:00,380 --> 01:57:01,347
COUNCIL WOULD WE WOULD HAVE 

3372
01:57:01,347 --> 01:57:02,782
ENDORSED BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR, 

3373
01:57:02,782 --> 01:57:04,283
AND WE WOULD GO THROUGH THE 

3374
01:57:04,283 --> 01:57:05,051
BUDGET PROCESS AGAIN NEXT YEAR. 

3375
01:57:05,051 --> 01:57:07,387
-- GOT IT. SO IT WOULD NOT 

3376
01:57:07,387 --> 01:57:08,454
AUTOMATICALLY CARRY FORWARD. 

3377
01:57:08,454 --> 01:57:08,821
-- IT'S NOT. 

3378
01:57:08,821 --> 01:57:11,391
-- SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC, 

3379
01:57:11,391 --> 01:57:13,760
INTENTIONAL, DELIBERATE COUNCIL 

3380
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:13,993
ACTION. 

3381
01:57:13,993 --> 01:57:15,928
-- OPERATIONAL APPROPRIATIONS DO

3382
01:57:15,928 --> 01:57:17,530
NOT AUTOMATICALLY CARRY FORWARD.

3383
01:57:17,530 --> 01:57:17,797
-- OKAY. 

3384
01:57:17,797 --> 01:57:19,065
-- THANK YOU. NO FURTHER 

3385
01:57:19,065 --> 01:57:19,365
QUESTIONS. 

3386
01:57:19,365 --> 01:57:21,534
-- THANK YOU. AGAIN. I'M BEING 

3387
01:57:21,534 --> 01:57:24,804
A LITTLE RELAXED WITH HOW WE'RE

3388
01:57:24,804 --> 01:57:26,272
FACILITATING. I AM GOING TO ASK 

3389
01:57:26,272 --> 01:57:27,473
NEXT WEEK, CENTRAL STAFF, JUST 

3390
01:57:27,473 --> 01:57:29,409
TAKE A PAUSE BEFORE ANSWERING 

3391
01:57:29,409 --> 01:57:30,276
QUESTIONS IN CASE I SEE A 

3392
01:57:30,276 --> 01:57:32,745
DIFFERENT PERSON TO GO TO, AS 

3393
01:57:32,745 --> 01:57:33,312
WELL AS COUNCILMEMBERS NEXT 

3394
01:57:33,312 --> 01:57:34,113
WEEK. PLEASE REMEMBER TO JUST 

3395
01:57:34,113 --> 01:57:36,282
TAKE A PAUSE TO MAKE SURE I'M 

3396
01:57:36,282 --> 01:57:38,885
NOT CALLING ON ANY OTHER CENTRAL

3397
01:57:38,885 --> 01:57:39,485
STAFF WITH THAT COUNCILMEMBER 

3398
01:57:39,485 --> 01:57:40,686
RIVERA TO CLOSE THIS OUT. 

3399
01:57:40,686 --> 01:57:44,357
-- THANKS, CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR 

3400
01:57:44,357 --> 01:57:47,226
THE SCHOOL SAFETY. CIP PROVISO. 

3401
01:57:47,226 --> 01:57:49,962
MY UNDERSTANDING, AND I THINK I 

3402
01:57:49,962 --> 01:57:51,564
HEARD CORRECTLY, YOU SAY THIS 

3403
01:57:51,564 --> 01:57:53,299
MONEY IS BEING ALLOCATED FOR THE

3404
01:57:53,299 --> 01:57:54,634
SCHOOL SAFETY CIP, AND YOU'RE 

3405
01:57:54,634 --> 01:57:57,403
JUST BEING EXTRA CAUTIOUS BY 

3406
01:57:57,403 --> 01:58:00,139
PRIORITIZING IT TO MAKE SURE 

3407
01:58:00,139 --> 01:58:00,807
IT'S ACTUALLY SPENT FOR THAT. 

3408
01:58:00,807 --> 01:58:03,443
CORRECT. FOR THAT PURPOSE. 

3409
01:58:03,443 --> 01:58:06,078
-- CORRECT. WE RECEIVED 

3410
01:58:06,078 --> 01:58:08,614
DIFFERENT PIECES OF INFORMATION 

3411
01:58:08,614 --> 01:58:11,684
FROM SDOT AND BECAUSE OF THE 

3412
01:58:11,684 --> 01:58:14,787
FACTUAL INACCURACIES, WE ARE 

3413
01:58:14,787 --> 01:58:15,888
BEING CERTAIN WITH THEM ABOUT 

3414
01:58:15,888 --> 01:58:18,024
HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD BE SPENT 

3415
01:58:18,024 --> 01:58:19,459
FOR CHILDREN. THANK YOU. 

3416
01:58:19,459 --> 01:58:23,029
-- THANK YOU, CHAIR. AND THEN ON

3417
01:58:23,029 --> 01:58:27,900
THE PROVISO, THE 254. DISTRICT 

3418
01:58:27,900 --> 01:58:28,367
SIX PEDESTRIAN SAFETY 

3419
01:58:28,367 --> 01:58:31,704
IMPROVEMENTS ARE YOU IS ARE AND 

3420
01:58:31,704 --> 01:58:33,039
THIS IS IT'S A PROVISO. SO ARE 

3421
01:58:33,039 --> 01:58:35,741
YOU TRYING TO PROVISO THE 

3422
01:58:35,741 --> 01:58:38,377
INCREASE OF TO THE DISTRICT 

3423
01:58:38,377 --> 01:58:39,745
PROJECT FUND? BECAUSE PRESUMABLY

3424
01:58:39,745 --> 01:58:42,415
THIS IS A TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT 

3425
01:58:42,415 --> 01:58:45,318
THAT CAN BE A DISTRICT FUNDED 

3426
01:58:45,318 --> 01:58:47,253
PROJECT. SO I JUST WANT TO 

3427
01:58:47,253 --> 01:58:48,721
BETTER UNDERSTAND IF YOU'RE 

3428
01:58:48,721 --> 01:58:50,189
TRYING TO PROVISO PART OF THE 7 

3429
01:58:50,189 --> 01:58:52,558
MILLION FOR THIS PROJECT. 

3430
01:58:52,558 --> 01:58:53,493
-- THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

3431
01:58:53,493 --> 01:58:55,828
RIVERA. NO, I AM NOT PROVISO IN 

3432
01:58:55,828 --> 01:58:57,430
THE DISTRICT FUNDS, IF I HAD 

3433
01:58:57,430 --> 01:58:59,499
USED THE DISTRICT FUNDS TO HELP 

3434
01:58:59,499 --> 01:59:01,801
THE RESIDENTS OF STRAUSS AVENUE 

3435
01:59:01,801 --> 01:59:03,736
WITH THEIR CUT THROUGH SPEEDING 

3436
01:59:03,736 --> 01:59:05,671
TRAFFIC, THEN AND SDOT HAD 

3437
01:59:05,671 --> 01:59:07,974
GOTTEN IT WRONG, THEN I WOULD GO

3438
01:59:07,974 --> 01:59:09,075
BACK AND USE THE DISTRICT FUNDS 

3439
01:59:09,075 --> 01:59:11,844
TO DO THAT, SDOT RESPONDED TO 

3440
01:59:11,844 --> 01:59:14,914
THE NEIGHBORS CONCERNS WITH IN 

3441
01:59:14,914 --> 01:59:16,616
WITH SOLUTIONS THAT DID NOT 

3442
01:59:16,616 --> 01:59:18,818
HELP. AND SO THIS IS WHERE I AM 

3443
01:59:18,818 --> 01:59:20,753
ASKING SDOT TO GO BACK AND FIX 

3444
01:59:20,753 --> 01:59:23,956
THEIR WORK. THE NEIGHBORS HAD 10

3445
01:59:23,956 --> 01:59:26,125
TO 15 DIFFERENT REQUESTS. SDOT 

3446
01:59:26,125 --> 01:59:28,561
DID NONE OF THEM. THEY PAINTED 

3447
01:59:28,561 --> 01:59:29,695
WHITE LINES ON THE GROUND. WHAT 

3448
01:59:29,695 --> 01:59:31,597
WE'RE ASKING FOR TODAY IS THAT 

3449
01:59:31,597 --> 01:59:34,333
NO LEFT HAND TURNS ARE MADE OFF 

3450
01:59:34,333 --> 01:59:36,168
OF 80th ONTO STRAUSS, AS IS THE 

3451
01:59:36,168 --> 01:59:37,870
CASE WITH ASHWORTH AND 80th. 

3452
01:59:37,870 --> 01:59:40,306
THAT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM 

3453
01:59:40,306 --> 01:59:41,941
PREVIOUSLY. THANK YOU. BACK TO 

3454
01:59:41,941 --> 01:59:42,141
YOU. 

3455
01:59:42,141 --> 01:59:44,277
-- THANK YOU. CHAIR. YEAH, I 

3456
01:59:44,277 --> 01:59:46,646
UNDERSTAND I HAVE A COUPLE OF 

3457
01:59:46,646 --> 01:59:49,115
PROJECTS IN THE DISTRICT. 

3458
01:59:49,115 --> 01:59:52,585
SIMILARLY SITUATED, AND THAT 

3459
01:59:52,585 --> 01:59:53,252
STATE HASN'T ACTUALLY DONE THE 

3460
01:59:53,252 --> 01:59:54,053
WORK OR DID THE WORK, NOT IN THE

3461
01:59:54,053 --> 01:59:59,859
WAY THAT THE THAT WAS SUPPORTIVE

3462
01:59:59,859 --> 02:00:01,694
OF THE CONSTITUENTS THAT LIVE 

3463
02:00:01,694 --> 02:00:03,162
NEAR THE PROJECTS. SO I, I 

3464
02:00:03,162 --> 02:00:06,265
UNDERSTAND THAT PIECE ON THE BUS

3465
02:00:06,265 --> 02:00:13,239
SERVICE ROUTES. 15 AND 17. I 

3466
02:00:13,239 --> 02:00:13,839
JUST HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS 

3467
02:00:13,839 --> 02:00:15,107
GOING OFF OF BOTH WHAT. 

3468
02:00:15,107 --> 02:00:19,412
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER SAID AND 

3469
02:00:19,412 --> 02:00:22,148
ALSO COUNCILMEMBER SAKA. SO 

3470
02:00:22,148 --> 02:00:24,083
THESE TWO ROUTES, THE 2.5. WE 

3471
02:00:24,083 --> 02:00:26,419
WOULD. YOU'RE LOOKING TO 

3472
02:00:26,419 --> 02:00:27,653
REINSTATE A ROUTE AND THEN ADD 

3473
02:00:27,653 --> 02:00:29,722
SERVICE TO THE OTHER ROUTE, BUT 

3474
02:00:29,722 --> 02:00:32,658
THIS IS ONE TIME FUNDING. 

3475
02:00:32,658 --> 02:00:33,326
PRESUMABLY YOU'LL NEED ONGOING 

3476
02:00:33,326 --> 02:00:36,629
FUNDING. I JUST WANT TO 

3477
02:00:36,629 --> 02:00:37,196
UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS. 

3478
02:00:37,196 --> 02:00:37,863
-- CLARIFY AND THEN TURN IT BACK

3479
02:00:37,863 --> 02:00:40,633
TO THE CENTRAL STAFF. ONE OF THE

3480
02:00:40,633 --> 02:00:45,638
TWO ROUTES, NOT BOTH. AND THEN 

3481
02:00:45,638 --> 02:00:46,238
THE UPCOMING SEATTLE TRANSIT 

3482
02:00:46,238 --> 02:00:49,508
MEASURE THAT PASSED LAST NIGHT 

3483
02:00:49,508 --> 02:00:53,145
HAS ADDITIONAL FUNDING, AS WELL 

3484
02:00:53,145 --> 02:00:56,048
AS HAS THE GROWTH CENTER ASPECT 

3485
02:00:56,048 --> 02:00:57,750
IN THEIR MATRIX. AND IN THE 

3486
02:00:57,750 --> 02:00:59,318
PAST, THE MAYOR HAD MADE 

3487
02:00:59,318 --> 02:01:00,620
COMMITMENTS TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF 

3488
02:01:00,620 --> 02:01:03,189
THIS. BUT THEN RADIO SILENCE. SO

3489
02:01:03,189 --> 02:01:04,490
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE THE 

3490
02:01:04,490 --> 02:01:09,061
MAYOR IS AT, BUT CENTRAL STAFF, 

3491
02:01:09,061 --> 02:01:11,197
ANYTHING TO ADD THERE? 

3492
02:01:11,197 --> 02:01:13,866
-- NO, I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THE

3493
02:01:13,866 --> 02:01:18,671
THE FUNDING FOR THE ROUTE 15 AND

3494
02:01:18,671 --> 02:01:21,841
AND. 17 COMES FROM THE 

3495
02:01:21,841 --> 02:01:22,475
TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT.

3496
02:01:22,475 --> 02:01:28,047
NEW REVENUE COMING IN. AND 

3497
02:01:28,047 --> 02:01:30,216
THERE'S ALMOST $45 MILLION 

3498
02:01:30,216 --> 02:01:32,084
ANTICIPATED TO BE ALLOCATED TO 

3499
02:01:32,084 --> 02:01:34,854
TRANSIT OPERATIONS. SO THIS 

3500
02:01:34,854 --> 02:01:36,522
WOULD BE CARVING OUT A PORTION 

3501
02:01:36,522 --> 02:01:40,259
OF THAT FOR THIS ADDITIONAL 

3502
02:01:40,259 --> 02:01:40,526
SERVICE. 

3503
02:01:40,526 --> 02:01:41,093
-- COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. 

3504
02:01:41,093 --> 02:01:42,995
-- THANK YOU, CHAIR, AND THANK 

3505
02:01:42,995 --> 02:01:44,664
YOU, AMANDA. I THOUGHT I HEARD 

3506
02:01:44,664 --> 02:01:46,098
YOU SAYING NEITHER THESE ROUTES 

3507
02:01:46,098 --> 02:01:50,036
WERE ON THE TIER ONE PROJECTS. I

3508
02:01:50,036 --> 02:01:51,871
KNOW THAT WE WE HAD HAD A BROAD 

3509
02:01:51,871 --> 02:01:54,774
DISCUSSION ABOUT WHICH ROUTES 

3510
02:01:54,774 --> 02:01:56,309
ARE BEING PRIORITIZED AS DOT 

3511
02:01:56,309 --> 02:01:57,810
CAME WITH A WHOLE MAP ACTUALLY, 

3512
02:01:57,810 --> 02:02:00,446
AND I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED 

3513
02:02:00,446 --> 02:02:02,648
BECAUSE IT DIDN'T EXTEND TO 

3514
02:02:02,648 --> 02:02:04,350
MAGNUSON PARK, WHERE I HAVE 

3515
02:02:04,350 --> 02:02:06,352
FOLKS, AS YOU ALL KNOW, LIVING 

3516
02:02:06,352 --> 02:02:08,454
AT THE PARK THAT VERY 

3517
02:02:08,454 --> 02:02:09,922
-- MUCH RELY ON BUS SERVICE TO 

3518
02:02:09,922 --> 02:02:14,593
GET OUT OF THAT AREA. THAT'S 

3519
02:02:14,593 --> 02:02:15,661
NOT EASY FOR THEM TO GET TO IF 

3520
02:02:15,661 --> 02:02:17,930
THEY DON'T HAVE A CAR. SO 

3521
02:02:17,930 --> 02:02:21,200
ANYWAY, THAT THAT ROUTE WAS NOT 

3522
02:02:21,200 --> 02:02:22,401
PART OF THAT MATRIX. BUT 

3523
02:02:22,401 --> 02:02:23,736
NEVERTHELESS, WE WERE ALSO AND 

3524
02:02:23,736 --> 02:02:26,539
THANK YOU TO THE VOTERS FOR 

3525
02:02:26,539 --> 02:02:28,307
PASSING THE TRANSIT LAST NIGHT. 

3526
02:02:28,307 --> 02:02:29,475
I KNOW THERE WERE SOME ROUTES 

3527
02:02:29,475 --> 02:02:31,711
THAT ARE BEING PRIORITIZED. I 

3528
02:02:31,711 --> 02:02:32,845
THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY THESE 

3529
02:02:32,845 --> 02:02:38,084
ARE NOT THE TWO. THAT STOP WAS 

3530
02:02:38,084 --> 02:02:38,718
PRIORITIZING FOR THE EXPANSION 

3531
02:02:38,718 --> 02:02:40,686
OF THOSE OPERATING HOURS. 

3532
02:02:40,686 --> 02:02:42,855
-- AMANDA. 

3533
02:02:42,855 --> 02:02:45,424
-- THAT'S CORRECT. I THINK AS 

3534
02:02:45,424 --> 02:02:48,294
CAL'S MENTIONING THE RAPID 

3535
02:02:48,294 --> 02:02:51,864
RAPIDRIDE D AND THE 40 ARE THE 

3536
02:02:51,864 --> 02:02:52,498
ONES THAT ARE PRIORITIZING THE 

3537
02:02:52,498 --> 02:02:55,201
ROUTE 15 IS NOT CURRENTLY IN 

3538
02:02:55,201 --> 02:02:57,103
OPERATIONS, AND ROUTE 17 IS, BUT

3539
02:02:57,103 --> 02:02:59,638
HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A 

3540
02:02:59,638 --> 02:03:01,574
PRIORITY FOR THE FREQUENT 

3541
02:03:01,574 --> 02:03:03,175
TRANSIT NETWORK. 

3542
02:03:03,175 --> 02:03:03,709
-- COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. 

3543
02:03:03,709 --> 02:03:04,510
-- THANK YOU, CHAIR. SO IN 

3544
02:03:04,510 --> 02:03:06,212
ESSENCE, THIS IS JUST ALLOCATING

3545
02:03:06,212 --> 02:03:07,580
FUNDING FOR THESE TWO ROUTES 

3546
02:03:07,580 --> 02:03:08,981
THAT WERE NOT PART OF THE 

3547
02:03:08,981 --> 02:03:11,617
PRIORITY MATRIX. AND, AND CHAIR,

3548
02:03:11,617 --> 02:03:12,718
I FULLY UNDERSTAND AS A DISTRICT

3549
02:03:12,718 --> 02:03:13,886
REPRESENTATIVE, YOU WANT TO TAKE

3550
02:03:13,886 --> 02:03:15,654
CARE OF YOUR DISTRICT. SO I 

3551
02:03:15,654 --> 02:03:16,756
UNDERSTAND THAT PART. I HAVE A 

3552
02:03:16,756 --> 02:03:18,257
DISTRICT I'M TRYING TO TAKE 

3553
02:03:18,257 --> 02:03:19,725
CARE OF AS WELL, BUT I'M A 

3554
02:03:19,725 --> 02:03:22,328
LITTLE CONCERNED THAT THIS IS 

3555
02:03:22,328 --> 02:03:23,829
HAPPENING OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE 

3556
02:03:23,829 --> 02:03:25,698
WERE TOLD. IF THE TRANSIT 

3557
02:03:25,698 --> 02:03:26,966
MEASURE PASSES, THIS IS WHAT 

3558
02:03:26,966 --> 02:03:28,534
STOPS PROPOSING. BUT WE'LL HAVE

3559
02:03:28,534 --> 02:03:30,269
ANOTHER FOLLOW UP CONVERSATION 

3560
02:03:30,269 --> 02:03:32,805
ABOUT THAT. SO I'M JUST 

3561
02:03:32,805 --> 02:03:35,741
WONDERING WHETHER THAT FOLLOW UP

3562
02:03:35,741 --> 02:03:37,543
CONVERSATION WILL HAPPEN IF 

3563
02:03:37,543 --> 02:03:40,212
WE'LL HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE,

3564
02:03:40,212 --> 02:03:43,849
YOU KNOW AMENDMENTS TO THEIR 

3565
02:03:43,849 --> 02:03:45,417
PROPOSALS. IF WE HAVE ROUTES IN 

3566
02:03:45,417 --> 02:03:49,188
OUR RESPECTIVE DISTRICTS THAT WE

3567
02:03:49,188 --> 02:03:53,592
WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAVE MORE 

3568
02:03:53,592 --> 02:03:55,327
SERVICE HOURS, AND WHETHER THIS 

3569
02:03:55,327 --> 02:03:56,695
COULD ACTUALLY WAIT FOR THAT. I 

3570
02:03:56,695 --> 02:03:59,231
JUST I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND 

3571
02:03:59,231 --> 02:04:02,868
WHY NOW AND NOT LATER. AND THEN 

3572
02:04:02,868 --> 02:04:03,702
WHETHER THAT'S ONE QUESTION. 

3573
02:04:03,702 --> 02:04:05,237
AND MY OTHER QUESTION IS WHETHER

3574
02:04:05,237 --> 02:04:08,240
SDOT WILL COME BACK TO US WITH 

3575
02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:09,708
THEIR. NOW THAT THE TRANSIT 

3576
02:04:09,708 --> 02:04:11,744
MEASURE DID PASS WITH THEIR 

3577
02:04:11,744 --> 02:04:12,411
ACTUAL. HERE'S WHAT WE PROPOSE 

3578
02:04:12,411 --> 02:04:14,180
FOR SERVICE HOURS. 

3579
02:04:14,180 --> 02:04:17,249
-- AMANDA. OR CENTRAL STAFF. 

3580
02:04:17,249 --> 02:04:21,253
-- SO SPEAKING, PERHAPS, PERHAPS

3581
02:04:21,253 --> 02:04:22,254
ON BEHALF OF THE BUDGET CHAIR, I

3582
02:04:22,254 --> 02:04:26,025
THINK THAT THE GOAL IS JUST TO 

3583
02:04:26,025 --> 02:04:28,027
ACCELERATE ANY ENGAGEMENT WITH 

3584
02:04:28,027 --> 02:04:29,929
THE COUNTY TO PRIORITIZE FUNDING

3585
02:04:29,929 --> 02:04:31,964
FOR THESE PARTICULAR ROUTES TO 

3586
02:04:31,964 --> 02:04:34,366
BALLARD AS FAR AS SDOT COMING 

3587
02:04:34,366 --> 02:04:40,739
BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND VETTING 

3588
02:04:40,739 --> 02:04:42,141
A LIST OF INVESTMENTS, MAYBE CAL

3589
02:04:42,141 --> 02:04:43,776
CAN CAN SPEAK TO THAT, I DON'T 

3590
02:04:43,776 --> 02:04:45,444
UNDERSTAND. I'M NOT UNDER THE 

3591
02:04:45,444 --> 02:04:49,381
IMPRESSION THAT THAT. IS AN 

3592
02:04:49,381 --> 02:04:51,283
ACTIVITY THAT THEY DO 

3593
02:04:51,283 --> 02:04:51,617
NECESSARILY. 

3594
02:04:51,617 --> 02:04:54,753
-- CAL 

3595
02:04:54,753 --> 02:04:59,959
-- IT IS A NEGOTIATION BETWEEN 

3596
02:04:59,959 --> 02:05:00,826
SDOT AND AND METRO ON WHAT 

3597
02:05:00,826 --> 02:05:01,961
SERVICE HOURS WE CAN ACTUALLY 

3598
02:05:01,961 --> 02:05:05,231
PROVIDE. THEY DO TAKE DIRECTION 

3599
02:05:05,231 --> 02:05:05,865
INFORMALLY FROM COUNCILMEMBERS, 

3600
02:05:05,865 --> 02:05:07,266
AND IT'S CERTAINLY WITHIN THE 

3601
02:05:07,266 --> 02:05:08,667
COUNCIL'S PREROGATIVE TO HAVE 

3602
02:05:08,667 --> 02:05:10,102
THAT CONVERSATION AND 

3603
02:05:10,102 --> 02:05:10,636
POTENTIALLY TAKE IT INTO 

3604
02:05:10,636 --> 02:05:13,305
COMMITTEE. THEY REPORT ON THEIR 

3605
02:05:13,305 --> 02:05:15,908
RESULTS. WE HAVE NOT 

3606
02:05:15,908 --> 02:05:18,310
HISTORICALLY HAD THAT LEVEL OF 

3607
02:05:18,310 --> 02:05:23,082
DIRECTION OF OF SORT OF A FORMAL

3608
02:05:23,082 --> 02:05:25,584
REQUEST. I, TO MY MIND, A BUDGET

3609
02:05:25,584 --> 02:05:27,086
REQUEST LIKE THIS IS MOVING IN 

3610
02:05:27,086 --> 02:05:31,724
THAT DIRECTION. MORE ON THE THOU

3611
02:05:31,724 --> 02:05:33,826
SHALT. PRESERVING RESOURCES BY 

3612
02:05:33,826 --> 02:05:35,327
PROVISO IS ESSENTIALLY TAKING 

3613
02:05:35,327 --> 02:05:38,130
SOME OF THAT DIRECTION. BUT 

3614
02:05:38,130 --> 02:05:41,300
HISTORICALLY IT HAS BEEN MORE 

3615
02:05:41,300 --> 02:05:41,567
INFORMAL. 

3616
02:05:41,567 --> 02:05:42,434
-- COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA I WOULD 

3617
02:05:42,434 --> 02:05:47,239
JUST SAY, I MEAN. TO THE EXTENT 

3618
02:05:47,239 --> 02:05:49,408
THAT THIS COUNCIL HELPED TO 

3619
02:05:49,408 --> 02:05:51,777
SHAPE THE. AND THE SEATTLE 

3620
02:05:51,777 --> 02:05:53,212
TRANSIT MEASURE AND TO IDENTIFY 

3621
02:05:53,212 --> 02:05:54,980
WHAT THE PRIORITIES FOR FUNDING 

3622
02:05:54,980 --> 02:05:56,916
SHOULD BE, THAT'S THE FORMULA 

3623
02:05:56,916 --> 02:05:59,885
THAT STATE IS USING TO IDENTIFY 

3624
02:05:59,885 --> 02:06:01,554
WHERE THEIR INVESTMENTS SHOULD 

3625
02:06:01,554 --> 02:06:03,956
BE. THEY'RE LOOKING AT EQUITY 

3626
02:06:03,956 --> 02:06:06,892
CONCERNS. THEY'RE LOOKING AT 

3627
02:06:06,892 --> 02:06:08,460
GROWTH, WHERE GROWTH IS 

3628
02:06:08,460 --> 02:06:09,094
HAPPENING. THEY'RE LOOKING AT 

3629
02:06:09,094 --> 02:06:11,964
WHERE THE GAPS ARE. THEY'RE 

3630
02:06:11,964 --> 02:06:14,333
LOOKING AT RIDERSHIP. SO USING 

3631
02:06:14,333 --> 02:06:16,502
THAT INFORMATION IS WHAT IS WHAT

3632
02:06:16,502 --> 02:06:19,204
THEY'RE PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON. 

3633
02:06:19,204 --> 02:06:19,838
ALONG WITH ENGAGEMENT WITH THE 

3634
02:06:19,838 --> 02:06:20,839
COUNTY 

3635
02:06:20,839 --> 02:06:22,141
-- COUNCIL. 

3636
02:06:22,141 --> 02:06:22,374
-- AND. 

3637
02:06:22,374 --> 02:06:24,476
-- AND JUST TO REITERATE THAT 

3638
02:06:24,476 --> 02:06:27,012
THESE DECISIONS DO GO THROUGH 

3639
02:06:27,012 --> 02:06:27,913
METRO'S PLANNING PROCESS. THEY 

3640
02:06:27,913 --> 02:06:28,948
HAVE AN ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. 

3641
02:06:28,948 --> 02:06:30,382
THAT'S PART OF IT. IT HAS TO BE

3642
02:06:30,382 --> 02:06:32,151
TIED TO HOW THE OTHER SERVICES 

3643
02:06:32,151 --> 02:06:35,587
ARE BEING DEPLOYED. SO I DON'T 

3644
02:06:35,587 --> 02:06:37,590
WANT TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF 

3645
02:06:37,590 --> 02:06:38,123
SORT OF TECHNICAL TRANSIT 

3646
02:06:38,123 --> 02:06:39,024
SERVICE PLANNING THAT HAS TO GO 

3647
02:06:39,024 --> 02:06:42,127
TO, TO MAKE THESE THINGS WORK. 

3648
02:06:42,127 --> 02:06:43,128
AND THAT IS REALLY AT A MUCH 

3649
02:06:43,128 --> 02:06:45,431
LOWER LEVEL THAN THE COUNCIL HAS

3650
02:06:45,431 --> 02:06:47,700
HISTORICALLY BEEN INVOLVED WITH.

3651
02:06:47,700 --> 02:06:48,734
-- VICE CHAIR. 

3652
02:06:48,734 --> 02:06:52,404
-- ONE MORE THING I'LL JUST 

3653
02:06:52,404 --> 02:06:55,040
MENTION THERE. THE NUMBERS ARE 

3654
02:06:55,040 --> 02:06:57,776
THEY'RE JUST OUT THERE. THERE 

3655
02:06:57,776 --> 02:07:01,447
WERE CUTS THAT METRO MADE TO 

3656
02:07:01,447 --> 02:07:03,248
SEATTLE'S SERVICE. AND DURING 

3657
02:07:03,248 --> 02:07:06,452
THE PANDEMIC, WAS IT $2 MILLION?

3658
02:07:06,452 --> 02:07:09,221
SIGNIFICANT CUTS THAT THEY MADE 

3659
02:07:09,221 --> 02:07:10,756
TO SEATTLE SERVICE. AND THERE IS

3660
02:07:10,756 --> 02:07:13,292
GOING TO BE A CONCERTED EFFORT 

3661
02:07:13,292 --> 02:07:16,028
IN 2027 TO ENGAGE WITH THE 

3662
02:07:16,028 --> 02:07:17,796
PUBLIC AROUND HOW THEY SHOULD 

3663
02:07:17,796 --> 02:07:19,431
REINSTATE SOME OF THAT 

3664
02:07:19,431 --> 02:07:21,967
ADDITIONAL SERVICE. SO THAT ALSO

3665
02:07:21,967 --> 02:07:25,237
MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE

3666
02:07:25,237 --> 02:07:26,972
CAN BE ENGAGING, WHERE WE I'M 

3667
02:07:26,972 --> 02:07:29,208
SPEAKING ON YOUR BEHALF, WHERE 

3668
02:07:29,208 --> 02:07:31,610
THE COUNCILMEMBERS COULD BE 

3669
02:07:31,610 --> 02:07:33,746
ENGAGING AND ALSO ANIMATING YOUR

3670
02:07:33,746 --> 02:07:35,180
CONSTITUENTS TO ENGAGE WITH KING

3671
02:07:35,180 --> 02:07:37,983
COUNTY METRO, TO HELP TO INFORM 

3672
02:07:37,983 --> 02:07:40,219
THOSE PRIORITIES. THANK YOU. AND

3673
02:07:40,219 --> 02:07:41,654
I CAN FIND OUT THE DETAILS OF 

3674
02:07:41,654 --> 02:07:43,889
HOW MUCH THAT IS, BECAUSE I'M 

3675
02:07:43,889 --> 02:07:45,124
NOT REMEMBERING THE NUMBER RIGHT

3676
02:07:45,124 --> 02:07:45,324
NOW. 

3677
02:07:45,324 --> 02:07:47,693
-- OKAY. BEFORE I MOVE BACK TO 

3678
02:07:47,693 --> 02:07:49,328
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, ANY OTHER 

3679
02:07:49,328 --> 02:07:50,462
STATEMENTS FROM CENTRAL STAFF? 

3680
02:07:50,462 --> 02:07:52,765
IT'S OKAY. I JUST RAISING

RIVERA. AND THEN IF YOU HAVE 

3683
02:07:55,200 --> 02:07:57,302
MORE QUESTIONS, I WILL 

3684
02:07:57,302 --> 02:07:59,705
FACILITATE WITH CENTRAL STAFF. 

3685
02:07:59,705 --> 02:08:01,106
-- THANK YOU. CHAIR THANK YOU 

3686
02:08:01,106 --> 02:08:01,940
AMANDA. HELPFUL TO HELP. AND 

3687
02:08:01,940 --> 02:08:04,443
JUST FOR THE RECORD, TO CLARIFY 

3688
02:08:04,443 --> 02:08:05,577
TO MY FOLKS THAT ARE LIVING AT 

3689
02:08:05,577 --> 02:08:07,546
THE PARK ARE LOW INCOME AND 

3690
02:08:07,546 --> 02:08:09,214
REALLY RELY ON THE BUS SERVICE. 

3691
02:08:09,214 --> 02:08:11,383
SO WANTED TO SAY THAT FOR THE 

3692
02:08:11,383 --> 02:08:13,419
RECORD. AND THEN ALSO WHAT ARE 

3693
02:08:13,419 --> 02:08:14,787
THE IMPACTS? MY LAST QUESTION IS

3694
02:08:14,787 --> 02:08:17,423
WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF 

3695
02:08:17,423 --> 02:08:19,925
PROVIDING THESE FUNDS TO THE 

3696
02:08:19,925 --> 02:08:21,160
PRIORITY AREAS? I DON'T KNOW 

3697
02:08:21,160 --> 02:08:24,496
WHAT THE LEVEL OF IMPACT IS, SO 

3698
02:08:24,496 --> 02:08:27,132
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW 

3699
02:08:27,132 --> 02:08:27,332
THAT. 

3700
02:08:27,332 --> 02:08:29,101
-- CENTRAL STAFF. 

3701
02:08:29,101 --> 02:08:29,702
-- COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA YOUR 

3702
02:08:29,702 --> 02:08:30,903
QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE IMPACT 

3703
02:08:30,903 --> 02:08:34,339
OF ALLOCATING THIS FUNDING TO

02:08:34,339 --> 02:08:37,009
THE 15 IN THE. 17 TO THE REST OF

3705
02:08:37,009 --> 02:08:40,712
THE SERVICE? YEAH, YEAH. SO I 

3706
02:08:40,712 --> 02:08:43,248
WOULD JUST SAY THAT ON A ON A 

3707
02:08:43,248 --> 02:08:46,085
HOLISTIC LEVEL, ANY DIVERSION 

3708
02:08:46,085 --> 02:08:49,621
FROM THE FREQUENT TRANSIT 

3709
02:08:49,621 --> 02:08:52,658
NETWORK IS A DIVERSION FROM THE 

3710
02:08:52,658 --> 02:08:54,560
FREQUENT TRANSIT NETWORK. WHEN 

3711
02:08:54,560 --> 02:08:56,829
YOU LOOK AT 2.5 MILLION TO THE 

3712
02:08:56,829 --> 02:09:00,065
AS COMPARED TO OVERALL $45 

3713
02:09:00,065 --> 02:09:01,867
MILLION, IT'S A IT'S A SLIVER 

3714
02:09:01,867 --> 02:09:05,571
OF THE OVERALL PIE. AND, YOU 

3715

KEPT CHIPPING AWAY AT IT, THEN 

3717
02:09:11,710 --> 02:09:13,846
IT WOULD HAVE A CUMULATIVE 

3718
02:09:13,846 --> 02:09:14,079
EFFECT. 

3719
02:09:14,079 --> 02:09:16,115

3738
02:09:59,391 --> 02:10:00,959
$2 MILLION OF FUNDING FOR THOSE 

3739
02:10:00,959 --> 02:10:04,596
REPAIRS. I HAVE ADDED THE NEXT 

3740
02:10:04,596 --> 02:10:08,100
MILLION DOLLARS TO JUST HAVE THE

3741
02:10:08,100 --> 02:10:12,504
WHOLE THING FIXED. CENTRAL 

3742
02:10:12,504 --> 02:10:12,738
STAFF. 

3743
02:10:12,738 --> 02:10:14,540
-- KNOW JUST JUST TO REITERATE 

3744
02:10:14,540 --> 02:10:18,844
YOUR POINT, SFD ONE B WAS 

3745
02:10:18,844 --> 02:10:21,446
HIGHLIGHTED TO REFLECT 

3746
02:10:21,446 --> 02:10:26,618
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA SPONSORSHIP

3747
02:10:26,618 --> 02:10:27,186
FOR HER PRIME SPONSORSHIP. 

3748
02:10:27,186 --> 02:10:29,555
-- COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA 

3749
02:10:29,555 --> 02:10:30,889
-- NO, SORRY I DIDN'T. THIS ONE

3750
02:10:30,889 --> 02:10:31,924
DIDN'T HAVE A BLUE, SO I 

3751
02:10:31,924 --> 02:10:33,425
THOUGHT THIS WAS THIS THE SAME 

3752
02:10:33,425 --> 02:10:34,793
ONE THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING 

3753
02:10:34,793 --> 02:10:36,562
ABOUT? BUT I KNOW MANY OF US, 

3754
02:10:36,562 --> 02:10:39,631
NOT JUST ME. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS 

3755
02:10:39,631 --> 02:10:40,232
NOT SPECIFIC TO THE DISTRICT 

3756
02:10:40,232 --> 02:10:44,603
THAT I REPRESENT. MANY OF US 

3757
02:10:44,603 --> 02:10:48,807
CARED ABOUT ENSURING THAT WE HAD

3758
02:10:48,807 --> 02:10:52,277
PROPER FIRE SERVICE ACROSS THE 

3759
02:10:52,277 --> 02:10:55,080
CITY AND THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN

3760
02:10:55,080 --> 02:10:58,050
THE LEVEL OF SERVICE. AS WE 

3761
02:10:58,050 --> 02:11:00,219
HEARD FROM CHIEF SCOGGINS MEANT 

3762
02:11:00,219 --> 02:11:02,688
THAT WE THAT THAT ONE TIME, 

3763
02:11:02,688 --> 02:11:07,125
SORRY, NOT THE ONE TIME. THE 

3764
02:11:07,125 --> 02:11:07,693
OVERTIME HOURS WERE REALLY 

3765
02:11:07,693 --> 02:11:09,328
IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN THAT LEVEL

3766
02:11:09,328 --> 02:11:12,664
OF SERVICE. SO I SEE THIS AS A, 

3767
02:11:12,664 --> 02:11:13,865
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING, MANY OF US 

3768
02:11:13,865 --> 02:11:18,370
WANT IT, NOT JUST MYSELF. THANK 

3769
02:11:18,370 --> 02:11:18,670

02:11:35,821 --> 02:11:36,655
-- OH FIVE. 

3775
02:11:36,655 --> 02:11:38,991

3776
02:11:38,991 --> 02:11:40,392

3777
02:11:40,392 --> 02:11:50,435
-- THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO 27. 

3778
02:11:50,435 --> 02:11:55,207

POLICE DEPARTMENT PURPOSES, AND

02:12:24,936 --> 02:12:26,571
2027 AND 2028.

DISCUSSION 

3797
02:12:39,151 --> 02:12:46,224
-- SPD 108. B WAS AMENDED TO ADD

FROM THE LAST ROUND, WHICH WAS

FULLY FUND THE PROJECT IN 2030.

QUESTIONS ON SEATTLE PARKS AND

3848
02:14:59,624 --> 02:15:02,194
KNOW, DURING THE LAST PROPOSAL 

3849
02:15:02,194 --> 02:15:04,162
CONVERSATION, COUNCILMEMBER 

3850
02:15:04,162 --> 02:15:04,729
FOSTER ASKED GOOD QUESTIONS 

3851
02:15:04,729 --> 02:15:06,465
ABOUT REACH FUNDING. PART OF THE

3852
02:15:06,465 --> 02:15:07,466
ANSWER TO THAT WAS THAT THE 

3853
02:15:07,466 --> 02:15:09,935
ANIMAL SHELTER HAD FUNDING 

3854
02:15:09,935 --> 02:15:10,702
ASSOCIATED WITH IT, AND THE 

3855
02:15:10,702 --> 02:15:12,404
ANIMAL SHELTER WAS NOT AN 

3856
02:15:12,404 --> 02:15:13,672
APPROPRIATE USE OF FUNDING. SO 

3857
02:15:13,672 --> 02:15:17,209
THAT WAS PART OF WHERE THIS ALL 

3858
02:15:17,209 --> 02:15:19,978
CAME FROM. JUST ALSO VERY 

3859
02:15:19,978 --> 02:15:20,579
EXCITED FOR UNITED INDIANS OF 

3860
02:15:20,579 --> 02:15:21,813
ALL TRIBES. I BELIEVE THAT WE 

3861
02:15:21,813 --> 02:15:24,149
DID HAVE SOME TEXT AMENDMENTS, 

3862
02:15:24,149 --> 02:15:25,350
JUST MAKING IT MORE CLEAR THAT 

3863
02:15:25,350 --> 02:15:27,552
IT IS FOR ANY LAND THAT THEY 

3864
02:15:27,552 --> 02:15:29,020
STEWARD, BECAUSE THEY STEWARD 

3865
02:15:29,020 --> 02:15:33,091
MORE THAN JUST THE WOLF CREEK 

3866
02:15:33,091 --> 02:15:34,626
TRAIL AREA. COLLEAGUES. ANY 

3867
02:15:34,626 --> 02:15:37,863
OTHER DISCUSSIONS ON PARKS AND 

3868
02:15:37,863 --> 02:15:40,732
RECREATION? SEEING NONE. WE'LL 

3869
02:15:40,732 --> 02:15:45,871
MOVE RIGHT ON TO OUR LAST SLIDE 

3870
02:15:45,871 --> 02:15:46,137
OF TEXT. 

3871
02:15:46,137 --> 02:15:50,141
-- LAST SLIDE AND THE ITEM 

3872
02:15:50,141 --> 02:15:53,378
SPR19B IS BASICALLY CHANGED. 

3873
02:15:53,378 --> 02:15:56,014
THIS PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED 

3874
02:15:56,014 --> 02:15:58,183
ADDITIONAL FUNDING, BUT 

3875
02:15:58,183 --> 02:15:59,384
CONSISTENT WITH A NUMBER OF THE 

3876
02:15:59,384 --> 02:16:02,187
U, C, T RELATED POSITIONS. THIS 

3877
02:16:02,187 --> 02:16:03,855
ITEM HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 

3878
02:16:03,855 --> 02:16:06,191
POSITION ONLY 

3879
02:16:06,191 --> 02:16:07,526
-- THANK YOU AND COLLEAGUES. 

3880
02:16:07,526 --> 02:16:10,128
THIS WAS THE CONVERSATION ABOUT 

3881
02:16:10,128 --> 02:16:10,862
TRASH. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO 

3882
02:16:10,862 --> 02:16:13,398
DIRECTOR WHITSON. JUST A SECOND.

3883
02:16:13,398 --> 02:16:15,467
JUST TO SAY I DID THE FUNDING 

3884
02:16:15,467 --> 02:16:17,469
INCREASE IN THIS PREVIOUSLY WAS 

3885
02:16:17,469 --> 02:16:19,838
FOR ADDITIONAL TRASH PICKUP 

3886
02:16:19,838 --> 02:16:21,239
RATHER THAN INVESTING THE TRASH 

3887
02:16:21,239 --> 02:16:23,575
PICKUP HERE. I SUPPORTED YOUR 

3888
02:16:23,575 --> 02:16:25,343
AMENDMENTS TO HAVE TRASH SERVICE

3889
02:16:25,343 --> 02:16:27,712
INCREASED IN OTHER 

3890
02:16:27,712 --> 02:16:28,313
GEOGRAPHICALLY SPECIFIC AREAS 

3891
02:16:28,313 --> 02:16:30,415
AROUND THE CITY. DIRECTOR 

3892
02:16:30,415 --> 02:16:30,682
WHITSON. 

3893
02:16:30,682 --> 02:16:32,450
-- THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL FOR 

3894
02:16:32,450 --> 02:16:35,787
THESE POSITIONS WAS TO RESTORE 

3895
02:16:35,787 --> 02:16:36,321
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT 

3896
02:16:36,321 --> 02:16:38,190
POSITIONS THAT HAD NEVER BEEN 

3897
02:16:38,190 --> 02:16:41,326
FILLED, AND DISCUSSIONS WITH THE

3898
02:16:41,326 --> 02:16:43,228
DEPARTMENT MAINTENANCE LABORERS 

3899
02:16:43,228 --> 02:16:46,731
SEEMED LIKE A MUCH MORE 

3900
02:16:46,731 --> 02:16:48,900
EFFECTIVE POSITION TO ADD. 

3901
02:16:48,900 --> 02:16:50,535
-- THANK YOU. WELL SAID 

3902
02:16:50,535 --> 02:16:53,538
COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS ON

SLIDE 29? SEEING NO QUESTIONS AT

02:16:57,909 --> 02:17:00,145
THIS TIME. THAT DOES BRING US TO

02:17:00,145 --> 02:17:02,047
SLIDE 30, WHICH ARE QUESTIONS 

3906
02:17:02,047 --> 02:17:03,215
AYE. WE TOOK QUESTIONS ALONG THE

02:17:03,215 --> 02:17:06,418
WAY. INSTEAD OF HOLDING. BUT 

3908
02:17:06,418 --> 02:17:07,018
COLLEAGUES, IS THERE ANYTHING 

3909
02:17:07,018 --> 02:17:08,753
FURTHER AT THIS TIME? I'VE GOT 

3910

SOME CLOSING REMARKS. THEY'RE 

3911
02:17:10,021 --> 02:17:13,959
NOT LONG, SO I'LL JUST GO LAST.

3912
02:17:13,959 --> 02:17:15,393
-- I HAVE ONE, MR. CHAIR,

THAT WERE THE SAME AND ONE THAT 

3949
02:18:24,696 --> 02:18:27,766
WAS DIFFERENT. SO I'M GOING TO

FURTHER DISCUSSION, ANY FURTHER 

4072
02:22:08,253 --> 02:22:08,920
DISCUSSION? I'LL JUST SAY, YOU 

4073
02:22:08,920 --> 02:22:09,921
KNOW, AS I CLOSED OUT OUR 

4074
02:22:09,921 --> 02:22:13,625
COMMITTEE WORK LAST WEEK, I 

4075
02:22:13,625 --> 02:22:16,194
CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THAT THE 

4076
02:22:16,194 --> 02:22:16,728
MAYOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET 

4077
02:22:16,728 --> 02:22:18,429
UNNECESSARILY TOOK AUSTERE 

4078
02:22:18,429 --> 02:22:19,430
MEASURES TO BALANCE THE BUDGET. 

4079
02:22:19,430 --> 02:22:21,799
AND PART OF WHY I SAID THAT IS 

4080
02:22:21,799 --> 02:22:23,334
THERE IS NO NEW FUNDING OF ANY 

4081
02:22:23,334 --> 02:22:25,670
KIND. WE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE 

4082
02:22:25,670 --> 02:22:27,705
THE SALES TAX INCREASE THAT WAS 

4083
02:22:27,705 --> 02:22:28,973
ALREADY PASSED BY KING COUNTY. 

4084
02:22:28,973 --> 02:22:30,508
WE'VE ADDED NEW REVENUE INTO 

4085
02:22:30,508 --> 02:22:32,844
THIS CHAIR'S PACKAGE. WE 

4086
02:22:32,844 --> 02:22:35,813
INCREASED THE STRUCTURAL BUDGET 

4087
02:22:35,813 --> 02:22:38,416
DEFICIT BY $4.4 MILLION AND 

4088
02:22:38,416 --> 02:22:40,652
REDUCED IT BY $4.3 MILLION, 

4089
02:22:40,652 --> 02:22:41,185
BECAUSE WE IDENTIFIED NEW 

4090
02:22:41,185 --> 02:22:43,521
REVENUE, WE ALSO BUILT BACK THE 

4091
02:22:43,521 --> 02:22:45,223
PROJECTS THAT MEAN MOST TO THE 

4092
02:22:45,223 --> 02:22:49,027
SERVICE PROVISION OF 

4093
02:22:49,027 --> 02:22:49,560
SEATTLEITES. IF THE FIRE 

4094
02:22:49,560 --> 02:22:50,194
DEPARTMENT GETS THERE A MINUTE 

4095
02:22:50,194 --> 02:22:52,363
LATE, YOUR LIFE MIGHT BE FOREVER

4096
02:22:52,363 --> 02:22:53,598
DIFFERENT. WE'VE REVERSED THOSE

4097
02:22:53,598 --> 02:22:56,200
CUTS. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DOI 

4098
02:22:56,200 --> 02:22:59,137
TOXICOLOGY BACKLOG, WHERE PEOPLE

4099
02:22:59,137 --> 02:23:00,638
WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR DRUNK

4100
02:23:00,638 --> 02:23:03,308
DRIVING HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO 

4101
02:23:03,308 --> 02:23:04,842
BE, PROSECUTED BECAUSE THE 

4102
02:23:04,842 --> 02:23:06,444
BACKLOG IS EXISTING. IF THAT 

4103
02:23:06,444 --> 02:23:08,813
PERSON HITS ANOTHER HUMAN BEING,

4104
02:23:08,813 --> 02:23:11,683
WE'VE NOT DONE OUR JOB AND 

4105
02:23:11,683 --> 02:23:13,217
THIS, BUT CHAIR'S PACKAGE PUTS 

4106
02:23:13,217 --> 02:23:14,953
MONEY BACK IN. SAME THING WITH 

4107
02:23:14,953 --> 02:23:18,823
THE SEXUAL ASSAULT KITS. IF THEY

4108
02:23:18,823 --> 02:23:20,525
CAN'T BE TESTED, WE CAN'T GET 

4109
02:23:20,525 --> 02:23:23,761
CRIMINALS OFF THE STREETS. WE'VE

4110
02:23:23,761 --> 02:23:24,595
RESTORED SOME, NOT AS MANY AS I 

4111
02:23:24,595 --> 02:23:26,731
WANTED TO. SOME OF THE CIVILIAN 

4112
02:23:26,731 --> 02:23:28,299
DETECTIVES. SO THAT WHEN. IF YOU

4113
02:23:28,299 --> 02:23:30,034
HAVE CRIME PERPETRATED AGAINST 

4114
02:23:30,034 --> 02:23:31,703
YOU, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CASE 

4115
02:23:31,703 --> 02:23:33,905
SOLVED AS COUNCILMEMBER RINCK 

4116
02:23:33,905 --> 02:23:35,473
JUST MENTIONED, WE NEEDED TO 

4117
02:23:35,473 --> 02:23:38,509
MAKE LARGE INVESTMENTS IN GENDER

4118
02:23:38,509 --> 02:23:40,144
BASED VIOLENCE. I'M GOSH DARN 

4119
02:23:40,144 --> 02:23:41,612
PROUD THAT THIS IS THE SIXTH 

4120
02:23:41,612 --> 02:23:44,749
YEAR IN A ROW THAT WE'VE MADE A

4121
02:23:44,749 --> 02:23:47,251
HISTORIC INVESTMENT IN HOUSING 

4122
02:23:47,251 --> 02:23:49,387
AND THAT'S BESIDE SEATTLE 

4123
02:23:49,387 --> 02:23:51,723
SOCIAL HOUSING DEVELOPER. I'M 

4124
02:23:51,723 --> 02:23:52,590
ALSO INCREDIBLY. IT MEANS A LOT 

4125
02:23:52,590 --> 02:23:53,958
TO ME THAT WE ARE FUNDING OUR 

4126
02:23:53,958 --> 02:23:56,527
SENIOR CENTERS, THAT WE ARE 

4127
02:23:56,527 --> 02:23:57,795
FUNDING OUR FOOD AND MEAL 

4128
02:23:57,795 --> 02:23:59,964
PROVIDERS, THAT WE HAVE AN 

4129
02:23:59,964 --> 02:24:02,800
ADDITIONAL SAFE LOT IN HERE. AND

4130
02:24:02,800 --> 02:24:04,202
THAT COUNCILMEMBER SAKA IS 

4131
02:24:04,202 --> 02:24:05,970
TAKING A CITY WIDE BECAUSE OF 

4132
02:24:05,970 --> 02:24:07,372
YOUR DISTRICT FUNDING REQUEST 

4133
02:24:07,372 --> 02:24:09,674
LINE ITEM, WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE 

4134
02:24:09,674 --> 02:24:10,208
IMPROVEMENTS FOR EVERYDAY 

4135
02:24:10,208 --> 02:24:11,776
SEATTLEITES TO OUR 

4136
02:24:11,776 --> 02:24:12,410
TRANSPORTATION CITY WIDE. THESE 

4137
02:24:12,410 --> 02:24:14,412
ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS AS 

4138
02:24:14,412 --> 02:24:15,980
WE JUST WENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE 

4139
02:24:15,980 --> 02:24:18,016
PROPOSAL, THIS BUDGET, THIS 

4140
02:24:18,016 --> 02:24:20,818
CHAIR'S PACKAGE DOES A LOT. 

4141
02:24:20,818 --> 02:24:22,520
THIS IS ALSO THE THIRD YEAR OF 

4142
02:24:22,520 --> 02:24:25,056
OUR BUDGET REFORM WORK, AND 

4143
02:24:25,056 --> 02:24:25,957
THROUGH THREE YEARS, WE STILL 

4144
02:24:25,957 --> 02:24:27,492
HAVE MORE WORK TO DO. AND 

4145
02:24:27,492 --> 02:24:29,427
THROUGH THOSE THREE YEARS, WE 

4146
02:24:29,427 --> 02:24:34,732
HAVE TAKEN A 280 PLUS STRUCTURAL

4147
02:24:34,732 --> 02:24:36,834
BUDGET DEFICIT WHERE WE WERE 

4148
02:24:36,834 --> 02:24:37,468
ONLY FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR TWO 

4149
02:24:37,468 --> 02:24:40,638
YEARS IN ADVANCE IN THE ONCE AT 

4150
02:24:40,638 --> 02:24:41,639
THE END OF THE BIENNIUM, ONLY 

4151
02:24:41,639 --> 02:24:42,840
ONE YEAR IN ADVANCE. AND NOW, 

4152
02:24:42,840 --> 02:24:45,109
DUE TO COUNCIL ACTION OVER THE 

4153
02:24:45,109 --> 02:24:49,280
LAST NUMBER OF YEARS, WE ARE 

4154
02:24:49,280 --> 02:24:49,914
FINANCIALLY PLANNING FOUR YEARS 

4155
02:24:49,914 --> 02:24:51,749
OUT. AGAIN, I DON'T NEED AN 

4156
02:24:51,749 --> 02:24:52,850
EXECUTIVE ORDER OR A LAW TO TELL

4157
02:24:52,850 --> 02:24:53,985
ME THE RIGHT THING TO DO, WHICH 

4158
02:24:53,985 --> 02:24:55,987
IS TO BALANCE FOUR YEARS OUT. 

4159
02:24:55,987 --> 02:24:57,755
WE'RE BALANCING FOUR YEARS OUT.

4160
02:24:57,755 --> 02:25:00,058
WE'RE CONTINUING TO REDUCE THE 

4161
02:25:00,058 --> 02:25:01,025
STRUCTURAL BUDGET DEFICIT, EVEN 

4162
02:25:01,025 --> 02:25:02,627
THOUGH WE TOOK SOME OF THE 

4163
02:25:02,627 --> 02:25:03,795
HARDEST DECISIONS A FEW YEARS 

4164
02:25:03,795 --> 02:25:05,863
AGO WHEN WE HAD TO LAY OFF MANY,

4165
02:25:05,863 --> 02:25:08,199
MANY MORE EMPLOYEES, WE HAD TO 

4166
02:25:08,199 --> 02:25:08,800
MAKE THAT HARD DECISION AGAIN 

4167
02:25:08,800 --> 02:25:11,569
THIS YEAR. SO I SAY THAT THIS IS

4168
02:25:11,569 --> 02:25:14,138
THIS STRUCTURAL REFORM HAS NOT 

4169
02:25:14,138 --> 02:25:16,708
BEEN EASY, BUT IT HAS BEEN 

4170
02:25:16,708 --> 02:25:18,576
NECESSARY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE

4171
02:25:18,576 --> 02:25:20,311
THE BUILDING GROWTH THAT WE WERE

4172
02:25:20,311 --> 02:25:22,080
EXPERIENCING IN THE IN THE 

4173
02:25:22,080 --> 02:25:24,682
2010s. WE ALSO NEED TO GET OUR 

4174
02:25:24,682 --> 02:25:26,651
CONSTRUCTION BACK UP AND 

4175
02:25:26,651 --> 02:25:28,186
RUNNING, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, TO 

4176
02:25:28,186 --> 02:25:34,092
HAVE A FISCALLY TO HAVE FISCAL 

4177
02:25:34,092 --> 02:25:34,726
SUSTAINABILITY AND TO REDUCE THE

4178
02:25:34,726 --> 02:25:37,195
STRUCTURAL BUDGET DEFICIT, THE 

4179
02:25:37,195 --> 02:25:40,131
NUMBER ONE ANSWER IS GETTING OUR

4180
02:25:40,131 --> 02:25:44,435
CITY BUILDING AGAIN. THAT'S IT.

4181
02:25:44,435 --> 02:25:46,003
WE HAVE TO GET OUR CITY BUILDING

4182
02:25:46,003 --> 02:25:48,072
OR OUR DOWNTOWN CORE ACTIVATED 

4183
02:25:48,072 --> 02:25:49,774
MORE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S 

4184
02:25:49,774 --> 02:25:51,542
HOLDING US BACK RIGHT NOW. WE 

4185
02:25:51,542 --> 02:25:54,178
CAN DO ALL THE PROGRESSIVE 

4186
02:25:54,178 --> 02:25:57,582
TAXES. WE CAN DO ALL OF THE NOT 

4187
02:25:57,582 --> 02:25:59,417
PROGRESSIVE TAXES. WE CAN GET 

4188
02:25:59,417 --> 02:26:02,019
REFORM FROM THE STATE. BUT WHAT 

4189
02:26:02,019 --> 02:26:03,688
ULTIMATELY WILL GET US OUT OF 

4190
02:26:03,688 --> 02:26:05,923
OUR STRUCTURAL PINCH IS GETTING 

4191
02:26:05,923 --> 02:26:07,692
OUR ECONOMY OFF THE FLAT LINE 

4192
02:26:07,692 --> 02:26:09,560
AND ROCKING AND ROLLING AGAIN. 

4193
02:26:09,560 --> 02:26:10,828
AND THE NUMBER THE EASIEST WAY 

4194
02:26:10,828 --> 02:26:12,196
TO DO THAT IS TO GET OUR 

4195
02:26:12,196 --> 02:26:15,133
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS GOING 

4196
02:26:15,133 --> 02:26:16,534
AGAIN. COLLEAGUES, THAT'S ALL I

4197
02:26:16,534 --> 02:26:18,936
HAVE TO SHARE AT THIS TIME. ANY 

4198
02:26:18,936 --> 02:26:20,872
FINAL QUESTIONS? WE HAVE A 

4199
02:26:20,872 --> 02:26:22,907

OUR WORK DONE, WE WILL NOT HAVE 

4210
02:26:47,865 --> 02:26:51,169
TO COME BACK ON NOVEMBER 16th. 

4211
02:26:51,169 --> 02:26:52,570
