STARLIKE CONTRACT THAT SPD JUST

709
00:27:20,271 --> 00:27:21,406
THAT SPD IS SPENDING ON STARLIKE

710

AND ADVOCATE OF TRIPLE H. TODAY,

1010
00:39:23,094 --> 00:39:25,596
I'M SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF BILL

1011
00:39:25,596 --> 00:39:27,732
121195 AND EXPANDING SHELTER AND

1012
00:39:27,732 --> 00:39:33,070
TRANSITIONAL CAPACITY. BEFORE I 

1013
00:39:33,070 --> 00:39:33,738
EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS MYSELF,

1014
00:39:33,738 --> 00:39:35,206
I BELIEVE THAT IF SOMEONE WAS 

1015
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:37,375
STRUGGLING BADLY ENOUGH, 

1016
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:38,242
EVENTUALLY THE SYSTEM WOULD HELP

1017
00:39:38,242 --> 00:39:39,477
THEM BEFORE THEY HIT THE GROUND,

1018
00:39:39,477 --> 00:39:41,278
THAT IS NOT WHAT I EXPERIENCED. 

1019
00:39:41,278 --> 00:39:42,980
I EXPANDS INSTABILITY, TRAUMA, 

1020
00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:44,181
AND THE REALITY OF TRYING TO 

1021
00:39:44,181 --> 00:39:44,982
SURVIVE WITHOUT ENOUGH SAFE 

1022
00:39:44,982 --> 00:39:48,219
SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO GO. 

1023
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:49,253
HOMELESSNESS IS A VIRAL ISSUE, 

1024
00:39:49,253 --> 00:39:50,855
PEOPLE CANNOT STABILIZE OR HEAL 

1025
00:39:50,855 --> 00:39:52,389
BY FIGHTING EVERY DAY JUST TO 

1026
00:39:52,389 --> 00:39:57,428
EXIST SAFELY. THIS IS WHY 

1027
00:39:57,428 --> 00:39:58,295
EXPANDING ACCESS MATTERS. NOT 

1028
00:39:58,295 --> 00:39:59,396
EVERYONE CAN MOVE IMMEDIATELY 

1029
00:39:59,396 --> 00:40:00,498
INTO PERMANENT HOUSING. SOME 

1030
00:40:00,498 --> 00:40:01,565
PEOPLE NEED TINY HOME VILLAGES 

1031
00:40:01,565 --> 00:40:02,733
AND SANCTIONED ENCAMPMENTS 

1032
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:03,200
INSTEAD OF DANGEROUS 

1033
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:13,144
HOMELESSNESS. I SUPPORT STRONGER

1034
00:40:13,144 --> 00:40:13,878
STOPPING AND CASE MANAGEMENT, 

1035
00:40:13,878 --> 00:40:15,379
BUT [ INAUDIBLE ]. AND WHEN 

1036

PEOPLE SAY SHELTERS DO NOT EXIST

1037

IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, PARKS, 

1038

MURDERED. WE NEED TO REALIZE 

1057
00:40:57,054 --> 00:40:58,255
THAT THESE ARE NOT JUST NUMBERS 

1058
00:40:58,255 --> 00:41:00,057

INDIVIDUALS ALL OVER THAT ARE 

1060
00:41:02,526 --> 00:41:03,928
FLEEING TO OUR CITY AND IT IS 

1061
00:41:03,928 --> 00:41:04,962
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL THAT WE 

1062

SAFE AND WE ARE NOT RIGHT NOW, 

1066
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:14,004

THAT WAY. IT IS ABSOLUTE MINIMUM

1068
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:20,277
OF WHAT WE SHOULD REQUIRE OF 

1069
00:41:20,277 --> 00:41:26,283
INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY. I 

1070
00:41:26,283 --> 00:41:28,586
URGE THE COUNCIL TO PUSH FOR THE

COMPRISES MORE THAN 60% OF

COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS'S DOUBLE 

1201

SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE

COUNCILMEMBERS, MY NAME IS

HALLIE WILLIS, I'M THE POLICY 

1298
00:49:58,261 --> 00:49:59,329
MANAGER FOR THE SEATTLE KING 

1299
00:49:59,329 --> 00:49:59,796
COUNTY COALITION ON 

1300
00:49:59,796 --> 00:50:00,731
HOMELESSNESS, WHICH HAS OVER 50 

1301
00:50:00,731 --> 00:50:01,331
MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS THAT 

1302
00:50:01,331 --> 00:50:02,332
SHELTER, HOUSE, AND CARE FOR 

1303
00:50:02,332 --> 00:50:03,533
MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY EVERY 

1304
00:50:03,533 --> 00:50:04,968
DAY. I'M HERE TO URGE YOU TO 

1305
00:50:04,968 --> 00:50:06,269
VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT'S LETTER A

1306
00:50:06,269 --> 00:50:08,038
AND B TO THE SHELTER ALLEGES 

1307
00:50:08,038 --> 00:50:10,907
PATIENT BEFORE YOU TODAY. WE 

1308
00:50:10,907 --> 00:50:11,675
DEEPLY APPRECIATE THE 

1309
00:50:11,675 --> 00:50:12,409
IMPROVEMENTS MADE TO THESE 

1310
00:50:12,409 --> 00:50:13,510
AMENDMENTS, BUT BASED ON OUR 

1311
00:50:13,510 --> 00:50:15,645
CONVERSATIONS WITH SHELTER 

1312
00:50:15,645 --> 00:50:16,446
PROVIDERS, WE DON'T BELIEVE 

1313
00:50:16,446 --> 00:50:17,481
THEY WILL PRODUCE GREATER SAFETY

1314
00:50:17,481 --> 00:50:18,682
OR WELL-BEING FOR SHELTER GUESTS

1315
00:50:18,682 --> 00:50:20,717
WERE GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE

1316
00:50:20,717 --> 00:50:21,918
SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. 

1317
00:50:21,918 --> 00:50:23,186
REQUIRING SECURITY STAFF IS NOT 

1318
00:50:23,186 --> 00:50:26,623
THE SAME AS CREATING THE ROBUST 

1319
00:50:26,623 --> 00:50:28,792
STAFF SUPPORT SHELTERS NEED, AND

1320
00:50:28,792 --> 00:50:29,760
ADDING REQUIREMENTS NEAR SCHOOLS

1321
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:35,866
CREATES UNNECESSARY BARRIERS. 

1322
00:50:35,866 --> 00:50:36,967
THE AMENDMENTS BEFORE YOU TODAY 

1323
00:50:36,967 --> 00:50:38,268
RAISE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. IF 

1324
00:50:38,268 --> 00:50:39,569
THE CITY MOVES FORWARD WITH 

1325
00:50:39,569 --> 00:50:40,370
LARGE MICRO MODULAR SHELTERS, 

1326
00:50:40,370 --> 00:50:42,072
HOW CAN WE ENSURE THAT WE DO 

1327
00:50:42,072 --> 00:50:45,709
THAT WELL? WE URGE YOU TO TAKE 

1328
00:50:45,709 --> 00:50:48,111
THOSE CONVERSATIONS SERIOUSLY. 

1329
00:50:48,111 --> 00:50:49,012
THEY SHOULD TAKE PLACE WITH 

1330
00:50:49,012 --> 00:50:50,313
DIRECT SERVICE PROVIDERS IN 

1331
00:50:50,313 --> 00:50:53,750
COLLABORATION WITH HST. 

1332
00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:56,853
>> THANK YOU, HALLIE. NEXT, WE 

1333
00:50:56,853 --> 00:50:58,054
HAVE JONATHAN TOLEDO, FOLLOWED 

1334
00:50:58,054 --> 00:51:06,863
BY BENNETT. WELCOME, JONATHAN. 

1335
00:51:06,863 --> 00:51:10,367
>> I WANTED TO START OFF BY JUST

1336
00:51:10,367 --> 00:51:14,504
CALLING INTO FOCUS THAT THIS IS 

1337
00:51:14,504 --> 00:51:16,840
THE SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 

1338
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,010
MURDER BY SPD OF TERRY, AND HE 

1339
00:51:20,010 --> 00:51:23,580
WAS YET ANOTHER BLACK MAN 

1340
00:51:23,580 --> 00:51:24,481
EXPERIENCING A SEVERE MENTAL 

1341
00:51:24,481 --> 00:51:25,582
HEALTH CRISIS, MUCH THE SAME TO 

1342
00:51:25,582 --> 00:51:26,817
THE WAY THAT CHRISTIAN NELSON 

1343
00:51:26,817 --> 00:51:30,720
WAS , BEFORE HE WAS GUNNED DOWN 

1344
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:33,156
AND THE ENTIRE BLOCK WAS SHUT 

1345
00:51:33,156 --> 00:51:37,427
DOWN FOR 12 HOURS. SO, THIS 

1346
00:51:37,427 --> 00:51:39,196
MEANS A LOT TO ME PERSONALLY 

1347
00:51:39,196 --> 00:51:42,766
BECAUSE I WAS THERE AND I SAW 

1348
00:51:42,766 --> 00:51:44,668
HIS BODY LAY ON THE FLOOR. SO, 

1349
00:51:44,668 --> 00:51:46,269
YOU KNOW, WHEN I SAY THAT ME AND

1350
00:51:46,269 --> 00:51:47,704
MY ORGANIZATION ARE GOING [ 

1351
00:51:47,704 --> 00:51:50,140
INAUDIBLE ] THAT IS RESPONSIBLE 

1352
00:51:50,140 --> 00:51:51,374
FOR THESE MURDERS OF OUR 

1353
00:51:51,374 --> 00:51:58,281
CIVILIANS, THEN I SAY WITH A LOT

1354
00:51:58,281 --> 00:51:59,649
OF HAPPINESS, BECAUSE THESE PIGS

1355
00:51:59,649 --> 00:52:00,550
ARE RUNNING RAMPANT. WHEN YOU 

1356
00:52:00,550 --> 00:52:01,751
SEE [ INAUDIBLE ], YOU DON'T 

1357
00:52:01,751 --> 00:52:05,021
LET WALK, YOU PUT IT DOWN, YOU 

1358
00:52:05,021 --> 00:52:06,423
TAKE IT OFF THE STREET, SO I'M 

1359
00:52:06,423 --> 00:52:07,624
REALLY EXCITED FOR THAT. IT 

1360
00:52:07,624 --> 00:52:09,693
SHOULD BE A REALLY GREAT MARCH. 

1361
00:52:09,826 --> 00:52:12,529
>> THANK YOU, JONATHAN. NEXT, WE

1362
00:52:12,529 --> 00:52:21,071

WANT TO GO ON RECORD THAT I 

1365
00:52:23,607 --> 00:52:25,041
AGREE, I THINK IT WOULD BE 

1366
00:52:25,041 --> 00:52:29,546
UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO PENALIZE DR.

1367
00:52:29,546 --> 00:52:30,680
HOWARD DELL FOR THE COMMENTS 

1368
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:31,648

1369
00:52:31,648 --> 00:52:33,083

1376
00:52:40,557 --> 00:52:41,758

DISRUPTIVE? AGAIN, I'M NOT 

1384
00:52:56,006 --> 00:52:57,274
TAKING SIDES IN THE BACK AND 

1385
00:52:57,274 --> 00:52:58,441
FORTH, IT IS NOT ABOUT WHETHER 

1386
00:52:58,441 --> 00:53:00,310
OR NOT I AGREE THAT THIS IS 

1387
00:53:00,310 --> 00:53:07,617
ABOUT COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS'S 

1388
00:53:07,617 --> 00:53:08,451
STATEMENTS IN HER OFFICIAL 

1389
00:53:08,451 --> 00:53:09,486

1392
00:53:11,154 --> 00:53:12,522
OF WHAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO 

1393
00:53:12,522 --> 00:53:13,523

WITHIN THE TWO MINUTES THAT HE 

1395
00:53:15,025 --> 00:53:17,394
WAS ALLOWED. THAT IS WITHIN THE 

1396
00:53:17,394 --> 00:53:18,495
RULES. I WOULD INVITE THE 

1397
00:53:18,495 --> 00:53:19,329

1896
01:11:02,424 --> 01:11:04,193

1917
01:11:42,131 --> 01:11:43,599

BELIEVE, MAKE THIS BILL BETTER. 

2070
01:17:00,949 --> 01:17:02,451
I KNOW ALL OF US SHARE A SENSE 

2071
01:17:02,451 --> 01:17:03,385
OF URGENCY AROUND ADDRESSING 

2072
01:17:03,385 --> 01:17:04,519
HOMELESSNESS, AND WE ALSO SHARE 

2073
01:17:04,519 --> 01:17:07,589
A SENSE OF MAKING SURE THAT WE 

2074
01:17:07,589 --> 01:17:09,057

2077
01:17:14,730 --> 01:17:15,497
WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR FOR 

2078
01:17:15,497 --> 01:17:16,131
ACTING WITH URGENCY AND 

2079
01:17:16,131 --> 01:17:17,199
PRIORITIZING HOMELESSNESS. AS I 

2080
01:17:17,199 --> 01:17:18,333
SAID BEFORE IN COMMITTEE, WE 

2081
01:17:18,333 --> 01:17:19,534
HAVE BEEN IN A STATE OF 

2082
01:17:19,534 --> 01:17:20,268
EMERGENCY FOR HOMELESSNESS FOR 

2083
01:17:20,268 --> 01:17:21,837
QUITE A LONG TIME, AND IT MAKES 

2084
01:17:21,837 --> 01:17:25,474
SENSE THAT WE HAVE A 

2085
01:17:25,474 --> 01:17:26,441
RESPONSIBILITY TO ACT WITH THAT 

2086
01:17:26,441 --> 01:17:27,442
URGENCY, AS WELL AS TO BALANCE 

2087
01:17:27,442 --> 01:17:28,710
THAT URGENCY THINGS THAT WE HAVE

2088
01:17:28,710 --> 01:17:29,945
TALKED ABOUT OVER THE LAST 

2089
01:17:29,945 --> 01:17:34,016
SEVERAL WEEKS . THE APPROPRIATE 

2090
01:17:34,016 --> 01:17:35,250
STAFFING, HOW TO MAKE SURE WE 

2091
01:17:35,250 --> 01:17:36,051
HAVE CLEAR LINES OF 

2092
01:17:36,051 --> 01:17:37,719
COMMUNICATION, AND I AM PROUD OF

2093
01:17:37,719 --> 01:17:41,123
THAT WORK. SO, COLLEAGUES, I 

2094
01:17:41,123 --> 01:17:42,324
KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL 

2095
01:17:42,324 --> 01:17:43,425
AMENDMENTS THAT WE WILL BE 

2096
01:17:43,425 --> 01:17:44,226
DISCUSSING TODAY, I LOOK FORWARD

2097
01:17:44,226 --> 01:17:45,193
TO HAVING THAT DISCUSSION. AT 

2098
01:17:45,193 --> 01:17:47,062
THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT THIS 

2099
01:17:47,062 --> 01:17:48,030
BILL IS ABOUT IS ENSURING 

2100
01:17:48,030 --> 01:17:49,097
SEVERAL THINGS. IT IS ABOUT 

2101
01:17:49,097 --> 01:17:50,866
ENSURING THAT WE USE OUR PUBLIC 

2102
01:17:50,866 --> 01:17:51,333
LAND EFFECTIVELY AND 

2103
01:17:51,333 --> 01:17:58,607
EFFICIENTLY. WE ARE LOOKING AT 

2104
01:17:58,607 --> 01:17:59,608
INCREASING THE CENSUS CAPACITY 

2105
01:17:59,608 --> 01:18:00,342
ON THESE PROPERTIES FROM 100 

2106
01:18:00,342 --> 01:18:01,576
FOLKS TO 150 FOLKS ON THESE 

2107
01:18:01,576 --> 01:18:02,611
PROPERTIES. THAT WILL ALLOW US 

2108
01:18:02,611 --> 01:18:03,578
THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT 

2109
01:18:03,578 --> 01:18:05,347
MORE PEOPLE CAN BE HOUSED. AND 

2110
01:18:05,347 --> 01:18:10,318
THAT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT MORE 

2111
01:18:10,318 --> 01:18:11,153
PEOPLE WILL HAVE THIS SHELTER, 

2112
01:18:11,153 --> 01:18:12,421
BECAUSE WE KNOW IT IS THAT 

2113
01:18:12,421 --> 01:18:13,622
SHELTER THAT PROVIDES PEOPLE THE

2114
01:18:13,622 --> 01:18:15,290
STABILITY, THE CONNECTION TO 

2115
01:18:15,290 --> 01:18:16,491
SERVICES, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO

2116
01:18:16,491 --> 01:18:17,559
MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR LIVES. 

2117
01:18:17,559 --> 01:18:18,627
AND THEN WE HAVE THE ONE 

2118
01:18:18,627 --> 01:18:24,499
LOCATION THAT WILL BE ABLE TO 

2119
01:18:24,499 --> 01:18:25,500
HOUSE UP TO 250 RESIDENTS, AND 

2120
01:18:25,500 --> 01:18:26,601
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US 

2121
01:18:26,601 --> 01:18:27,536
WITH THIS INTERIM LEGISLATION TO

2122
01:18:27,536 --> 01:18:29,538
MAKE SURE THAT THIS EXPANSION IS

2123
01:18:29,538 --> 01:18:30,639
REALLY WELL-RUN AND REALLY WELL 

2124
01:18:30,639 --> 01:18:35,677
DONE, AND I BELIEVE THAT THE 

2125
01:18:35,677 --> 01:18:36,912
ENGAGEMENT THAT WE HAVE HAD, THE

2126
01:18:36,912 --> 01:18:38,113
LEADERSHIP THAT WE HAVE HAD, AND

2127
01:18:38,113 --> 01:18:39,681
THE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE ON 

2128
01:18:39,681 --> 01:18:40,982
THIS BILL SETS US UP FOR SUCCESS

2129
01:18:40,982 --> 01:18:42,984
IN BOTH OF THOSE AREAS, SO I 

2130
01:18:42,984 --> 01:18:46,088

2131
01:18:46,088 --> 01:18:46,721

COLLEAGUES, I PUBLICLY STATED

STARTING WHEN I WAS RUNNING FOR 

2186
01:20:19,581 --> 01:20:23,852
OFFICE THAT I SUPPORT TINY 

2187
01:20:23,852 --> 01:20:25,153

2189
01:20:26,388 --> 01:20:29,157

PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS LEARNING 

2195
01:20:39,134 --> 01:20:42,304
ABOUT STATE BELL 2266, I PULLED 

2196
01:20:42,304 --> 01:20:45,540
MY ORIGINAL AMENDMENT. THE 

2197
01:20:45,540 --> 01:20:46,741
AMENDMENT BEFORE YOU IS A NEW 

2198
01:20:46,741 --> 01:20:48,310
AMENDMENT THAT ALIGNS WITH 

2199
01:20:48,310 --> 01:20:51,012
SENATE BILL 2266. ALLOWS HST TO 

2200
01:20:51,012 --> 01:20:53,849
WORK WITH THE OPERATOR OF A 

2201
01:20:53,849 --> 01:21:01,756

IDENTIFIED. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO

SHELTERS FOR FAMILIES AND 

2206
01:21:07,729 --> 01:21:09,965

2207
01:21:09,965 --> 01:21:12,000
THE IDENTIFIED ADDITIONAL SAFETY

2208
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:16,371
CONCERNS MAY BE NEGOTIATED. THIS

2209
01:21:16,371 --> 01:21:17,973
IS NOT A MUST REQUIREMENT, IT IS

2210
01:21:17,973 --> 01:21:19,307
A MATE, ALLOWING EVERYONE TO 

2211
01:21:19,307 --> 01:21:22,477
WORK TOGETHER. AND TO CLARIFY 

2212
01:21:22,477 --> 01:21:23,945
WHAT I HEARD FROM PUBLIC COMMENT

2213
01:21:23,945 --> 01:21:27,182
TODAY, THIS AMENDMENT IS NOT A 

2214
01:21:27,182 --> 01:21:28,250
REQUIREMENT, IT IS AN ALLOWANCE,

2215
01:21:28,250 --> 01:21:32,120
THAT IS WHY IT IS THE MAY 

2216
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:33,855
LANGUAGE. THIS MEANS AS HST ON 

2217
01:21:33,855 --> 01:21:38,760
THE PROVIDER CAN INCLUDE 

2218
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:39,661
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND 

2219
01:21:39,661 --> 01:21:40,962
SAFETY MEASURES IN THE CONTRACT 

2220
01:21:40,962 --> 01:21:42,597
WITH THE PROVIDER, AS SUGGESTED 

2221
01:21:42,597 --> 01:21:45,533
DURING PUBLIC COMMENT. SO, I 

2222
01:21:45,533 --> 01:21:46,902
WILL ALSO ADD, COLLEAGUES, THIS 

2223
01:21:46,902 --> 01:21:52,340
IS JUST IN MY EXPERIENCE , IN

ENSURING THAT WE SET UP SHELTERS

2225
01:21:53,775 --> 01:21:54,876

BE ADDING ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS 

2227
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:06,288
IN THE LEGISLATION THAT BOTH 

2228
01:22:06,288 --> 01:22:09,591
CODIFY STATE LAW AND THAT REALLY

2229
01:22:09,591 --> 01:22:12,093
ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO WORK 

2230
01:22:12,093 --> 01:22:13,662

2231
01:22:13,662 --> 01:22:19,000

2243
01:22:46,995 --> 01:22:49,431
IN COMMITTEE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE

2244
01:22:49,431 --> 01:22:55,403

AMENDMENT TODAY FOR A COUPLE OF 

2247
01:22:57,772 --> 01:22:58,673
REASONS. FIRST BEING WHAT I 

2248
01:22:58,673 --> 01:22:59,708
REVIEW AS SOME REDUNDANCIES IN 

2249
01:22:59,708 --> 01:23:01,142
SECTION D, 7A, ALREADY REQUIRES 

2250
01:23:01,142 --> 01:23:08,049
A SEPTA ASSESSMENT. [ INAUDIBLE 

2251
01:23:08,049 --> 01:23:09,084
] INTENDED TO MITIGATE PUBLIC 

2252

HEALTH AND SAFETY IMPACTS. 

2253
01:23:09,884 --> 01:23:10,685
ADDITIONALLY, IT IS MY 

2254
01:23:10,685 --> 01:23:11,720
UNDERSTANDING THAT IN THE

DEVELOPMENT, THIS AMENDMENT, 

2256
01:23:12,988 --> 01:23:13,822
HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT WAS 

2257
01:23:13,822 --> 01:23:14,589
NOT CONSULTED, DESPITE BEING 

2258
01:23:14,589 --> 01:23:15,857
NAMED AS A COLLABORATOR IN

PROVIDER SERVICE AND SECURITY 

2267
01:23:32,507 --> 01:23:34,009
NEEDS ON A SHELTER BY SHELTER

01:23:34,009 --> 01:23:35,777
BASIS DIRECTLY WITH OPERATORS. 

2269
01:23:35,777 --> 01:23:43,618
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THIS IS SET

2270
01:23:43,618 --> 01:23:45,153
UP FOR SUCCESS, AND THAT MEANS 

2271
01:23:45,153 --> 01:23:46,221
ENSURING RESOURCES AND STOPPING 

2272
01:23:46,221 --> 01:23:48,957

01:23:59,901 --> 01:24:01,503
AFTER THESE AMENDMENTS ARE DONE 

2283
01:24:01,503 --> 01:24:06,041
AND SPEAK TO VARIOUS PIECES 

2284
01:24:06,041 --> 01:24:07,275
RELATED TO PUBLIC SAFETY, FOR 

2285
01:24:07,275 --> 01:24:13,214
EXAMPLE. AND I DO WANT TO KNOW, 

2286
01:24:13,214 --> 01:24:14,215
IF YOU READ THE LANGUAGE, THE 

2287
01:24:14,215 --> 01:24:15,450
PUBLIC SAFETY PIECE IS LARGELY 

2288
01:24:15,450 --> 01:24:16,684
PLACED IN THERE. IT'S FROM THE 

2289
01:24:16,684 --> 01:24:17,719
LESSONS LEARNED AND SO FORTH 

2290
01:24:17,719 --> 01:24:19,354
THAT WE HAVE DONE IN TERMS OF 

2291
01:24:19,354 --> 01:24:20,855
OUR WORK OVER YEARS RELATED TO 

2292
01:24:20,855 --> 01:24:26,728
SERVICE PROVIDERS , AND TO 

2293
01:24:26,728 --> 01:24:27,862
INCLUDE DISTRICT 7, BUT 

2294
01:24:27,862 --> 01:24:31,900
THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND I AM 

2295
01:24:31,900 --> 01:24:33,668
HAPPY THAT THOSE ARE IN, BECAUSE

2296
01:24:33,668 --> 01:24:37,138
THIS IS MORE COMPREHENSIVE, THIS

2297
01:24:37,138 --> 01:24:38,740
IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO 

2298
01:24:38,740 --> 01:24:39,974
VERSUS LAND USE, SO I APPRECIATE

2299
01:24:39,974 --> 01:24:41,676
THESE PIECES THAT ARE IN HERE. 

2300
01:24:41,676 --> 01:24:43,144
AND I ALSO APPRECIATE AND 

2301
01:24:43,144 --> 01:24:44,078
UNDERSTAND THE POINTS THAT 

2302
01:24:44,078 --> 01:24:50,785
COUNCILMEMBER RINCK IS SAYING 

2303
01:24:50,785 --> 01:24:51,920
AND YOU ARE RIGHT BECAUSE THESE 

2304
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:53,154
PIECES ARE IN HERE. THAT SAID, 

2305
01:24:53,154 --> 01:24:54,689
YOU KNOW, SCHOOLS ARE A VERY 

2306
01:24:54,689 --> 01:24:55,857
SPECIAL CASE. I RECENTLY DID A 

2307
01:24:55,857 --> 01:24:56,991
PUBLIC SAFETY WALK STARTING AT 

2308
01:24:56,991 --> 01:25:00,628
THE REGNIER BEACH COMMUNITY 

2309
01:25:00,628 --> 01:25:07,302
CENTER WHERE WE WENT TO DUNLOP 

2310
01:25:07,302 --> 01:25:08,703
ELEMENTARY, THEN WE WENT TO 

2311
01:25:08,703 --> 01:25:10,305
SOUTH SHORE, THE K-8 SCHOOL 

2312
01:25:10,305 --> 01:25:10,972
THERE, AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A 

2313
01:25:10,972 --> 01:25:11,639
TINY HOME VILLAGE RIGHT ACROSS 

2314
01:25:11,639 --> 01:25:13,041
THE STREET SO, I BELIEVE 

2315
01:25:13,041 --> 01:25:13,675
EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH THAT 

2316
01:25:13,675 --> 01:25:14,909
LOCATION AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD.

2317
01:25:14,909 --> 01:25:17,912
AND [ INAUDIBLE ]. IT WAS A 

2318
01:25:17,912 --> 01:25:19,080
FANTASTIC PUBLIC SAFETY [ 

2319
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:21,583
INAUDIBLE ]. MEMBERS OF THE 

2320
01:25:21,583 --> 01:25:22,650
COMMUNITY, SCHOOL DISTRICT, KING

2321
01:25:22,650 --> 01:25:29,424
COUNTY , IT WAS FANTASTIC. AND 

2322
01:25:29,424 --> 01:25:30,558
SO, THERE IS A CERTAIN 

2323
01:25:30,558 --> 01:25:32,427
REDUNDANCY HERE. BECAUSE OF THE 

2324
01:25:32,427 --> 01:25:34,896
MAY LANGUAGE AND THE NEED TO 

2325
01:25:34,896 --> 01:25:35,763
ENSURE THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE 

2326
01:25:35,763 --> 01:25:37,432
SAFE, I WILL BE VOTING YES FOR 

2327
01:25:37,432 --> 01:25:39,801
THIS, AND WITH THOSE POINTS 

2328
01:25:39,801 --> 01:25:45,807
MADE, JUST DOUBLE CHECK, IF YOU 

2329
01:25:45,807 --> 01:25:47,141
WILL, RELATED TO THE SCHOOL 

2330
01:25:47,141 --> 01:25:48,109
SAFETY, WHICH IS A BIG ISSUE 

2331
01:25:48,109 --> 01:25:49,677
THAT WE ARE WORKING. AND WHEN I 

2332
01:25:49,677 --> 01:25:53,648
SAY THAT, I'M NOT SAYING THAT 

2333
01:25:53,648 --> 01:25:54,782
IT'S AUTOMATIC, BUT IT'S WORTH

2334
01:25:54,782 --> 01:25:56,951
THE CHECK FOR THAT REASON . I 

2335
01:25:56,951 --> 01:25:57,952
WILL SUPPORT. 

2336
01:25:57,952 --> 01:26:01,623
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

2337
01:26:01,623 --> 01:26:02,357
KETTLE. COUNCILMEMBER LIN,

2339
01:26:03,625 --> 01:26:07,262
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT 

2340
01:26:07,262 --> 01:26:09,230
AND COLLEAGUES. THANKS AGAIN TO 

2341
01:26:09,230 --> 01:26:09,864
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER FOR BEING 

2342
01:26:09,864 --> 01:26:10,832
THE LEAD SPONSOR, AND YOU KNOW, 

2343
01:26:10,832 --> 01:26:16,070
THE BALANCE IS A MOVE QUICKLY, 

2344
01:26:16,070 --> 01:26:18,806
BUT ALSO THOUGHTFULLY. I'M 

2345
01:26:18,806 --> 01:26:20,542
GOING TO BE VOTING NO ON ALL THE

2346
01:26:20,542 --> 01:26:26,948
AMENDMENTS TODAY. AND I THINK A 

2347
01:26:26,948 --> 01:26:28,283
STRUGGLED WITH WHERE I WAS AT, I

2348
01:26:28,283 --> 01:26:29,684
THINK THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD 

2349
01:26:29,684 --> 01:26:30,818
INTENTION BEHIND THESE 

2350
01:26:30,818 --> 01:26:31,920
AMENDMENTS, AND I DO WANT TO 

2351
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:33,121
NOTE THAT THIS IS INTERIM 

2352
01:26:33,121 --> 01:26:39,093
LEGISLATION. AS SOON AS WE -- 

2353
01:26:39,093 --> 01:26:40,528
ASSUMING WE DO PASS THIS, WE ARE

2354
01:26:40,528 --> 01:26:41,963
GOING TO HAVE TO HOLD A PUBLIC 

2355
01:26:41,963 --> 01:26:43,298
HEARING WITHIN 60 DAYS TO TAKE 

2356
01:26:43,298 --> 01:26:44,465
MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND WE ARE 

2357
01:26:44,465 --> 01:26:46,134
GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH A 

2358
01:26:46,134 --> 01:26:47,101
WORK PLAN TO DEVELOP PERMANENT 

2359
01:26:47,101 --> 01:26:47,769
REGULATIONS IN COLLABORATION 

2360
01:26:47,769 --> 01:26:49,337
WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. SO YOU

2361
01:26:49,337 --> 01:26:51,105
KNOW, THESE AMENDMENTS, I JUST 

2362
01:26:51,105 --> 01:26:52,740
THINK I WASN'T QUITE THERE. I 

2363
01:26:52,740 --> 01:26:55,009
JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK

2364
01:26:55,009 --> 01:26:57,312
, BUT I DO JUST WANT TO SPEAK TO

2365
01:26:57,312 --> 01:27:01,349
THE NEED, WHAT I SEE AS 

2366
01:27:01,349 --> 01:27:03,751
ALIGNMENT ACROSS THE FLOOR WITH 

2367
01:27:03,751 --> 01:27:06,254
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS THE NEED 

2368
01:27:06,254 --> 01:27:08,856
FOR ROBUST SERVICES, FOR ROBUST 

2369
01:27:08,856 --> 01:27:12,827
SECURITY, AND I THINK AS WE 

2370
01:27:12,827 --> 01:27:19,634
ENGAGE WITH OUR PROVIDERS AND 

2371
01:27:19,634 --> 01:27:21,035
MANY FOLKS WHO ARE UNANNOUNCED, 

2372
01:27:21,035 --> 01:27:23,071
WHO HAVE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES 

2373
01:27:23,071 --> 01:27:25,006
WITH SHELTER IN THE PAST, WHO, 

2374
01:27:25,006 --> 01:27:27,875
YOU KNOW, I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE 

2375
01:27:27,875 --> 01:27:34,315
LIVING IN AN RV LAST WEEK, AND I

2376
01:27:34,315 --> 01:27:35,583
WAS TALKING TO THEM ABOUT, YOU 

2377
01:27:35,583 --> 01:27:37,885
KNOW, THE UPCOMING RV SAFE LOT, 

2378
01:27:37,885 --> 01:27:39,921
AND EXPRESSED CONCERNS BECAUSE 

2379
01:27:39,921 --> 01:27:41,122
THEY HAD HEARD ABOUT A SHOOTING 

2380
01:27:41,122 --> 01:27:42,890
IN AN RV LOT IN RECENT HISTORY. 

2381
01:27:42,890 --> 01:27:47,762
AND YOU KNOW, IT'S NAMED RV 

2382
01:27:47,762 --> 01:27:48,963
SAFE LOT FOR A REASON, IT IS 

2383
01:27:48,963 --> 01:27:50,965
SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE MOST OF ALL,

2384
01:27:50,965 --> 01:27:52,734
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE

2385
01:27:52,734 --> 01:27:59,540
INVITE PEOPLE INTO A SHELTER, 

2386
01:27:59,540 --> 01:28:00,241
WHEN WE INVITE PEOPLE INTO SAFE 

2387
01:28:00,241 --> 01:28:02,176
LOTS, WE ARE MAKING SURE WE ARE 

2388
01:28:02,176 --> 01:28:03,578
PROVIDING IS ROBUST SERVICES AND

2389
01:28:03,578 --> 01:28:04,679
SAFETY FOR THEM, FOR THE 

2390
01:28:04,679 --> 01:28:06,681
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT IS GOING 

2391
01:28:06,681 --> 01:28:08,549
TO REQUIRE, AS WE HAVE HEARD, 

2392
01:28:08,549 --> 01:28:11,619
HARD DISCUSSIONS FOR US, AND AS 

2393
01:28:11,619 --> 01:28:14,922
WE APPROACH BUDGET SEASON. I DO 

2394
01:28:14,922 --> 01:28:15,990
THINK MANY OF THESE REQUIREMENTS

2395
01:28:15,990 --> 01:28:17,458
WOULD BE BETTER HOUSED WITHIN 

2396
01:28:17,458 --> 01:28:18,626
OUR HUMAN SERVICES CONTRACTS 

2397
01:28:18,626 --> 01:28:24,132
WITH PROVIDERS , AND AT THE END 

2398
01:28:24,132 --> 01:28:25,867
OF THE DAY, I THINK IT IS GOING 

2399
01:28:25,867 --> 01:28:26,768
TO REQUIRE COLLABORATION WITH 

2400
01:28:26,768 --> 01:28:27,802
US, WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, 

2401
01:28:27,802 --> 01:28:29,270
WITH, YOU KNOW, OUR LOCAL 

2402
01:28:29,270 --> 01:28:31,773
NEIGHBORHOODS, WITH OUR FIRE 

2403
01:28:31,773 --> 01:28:34,876
DEPARTMENT, SPD, CARE, AND 

2404
01:28:34,876 --> 01:28:39,080
OTHERS. SO, THANK YOU TO MY 

2405
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:45,687
COLLEAGUES, I WILL BE VOTING NO 

2406
01:28:45,687 --> 01:28:46,788
ON THESE, BUT IT IS MY 

2407
01:28:46,788 --> 01:28:47,855
COMMITMENT TO CONTINUE TO WORK 

2408
01:28:47,855 --> 01:28:48,856
WITH YOU, ESPECIALLY AS WE 

2409
01:28:48,856 --> 01:28:49,924
DEVELOP THE PERMANENT 

2410
01:28:49,924 --> 01:28:52,126
REGULATIONS FOR THIS [ INAUDIBLE

2411
01:28:52,126 --> 01:28:52,327
]. 

2412
01:28:52,327 --> 01:28:55,163
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER LIN.

2413
01:28:55,163 --> 01:28:57,298

01:28:57,298 --> 01:29:01,436

2416
01:29:02,370 --> 01:29:03,371
GOING TO BE SUPPORTING THIS 

2417
01:29:03,371 --> 01:29:04,372
AMENDMENT TODAY AND HERE'S WHY.

2418
01:29:04,372 --> 01:29:06,207
IT LEAVES ROOM FOR A LOT OF 

2419
01:29:06,207 --> 01:29:09,410
DISCRETION AND FLEXIBILITY IN 

2420
01:29:09,410 --> 01:29:13,347
HOW IT IS IMPLEMENTED. LETTER A.

2421
01:29:13,347 --> 01:29:15,116
AND B, IF IT IS EVEN IMPLEMENTED

2422
01:29:15,116 --> 01:29:18,152
AT ALL. I WILL READ THE TEXT OF 

2423
01:29:18,152 --> 01:29:19,153
THE AMENDMENT, IT SAYS THE 

2424
01:29:19,153 --> 01:29:24,325
DIRECTOR -- THE RELEVANT TEXT IN

2425
01:29:24,325 --> 01:29:25,326

DIRECTOR IN CONSULTATION WITH 

2427
01:29:27,795 --> 01:29:29,130
THE DIRECTOR OF THE HUMAN 

2428
01:29:29,130 --> 01:29:30,364
SERVICES DEPARTMENT MAY 

2429
01:29:30,364 --> 01:29:35,636
NEGOTIATE ADDITIONAL OPERATING 

2430
01:29:35,636 --> 01:29:36,204
REQUIREMENTS TO MITIGATE 

2431
01:29:36,204 --> 01:29:37,338
POTENTIAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND 

2432
01:29:37,338 --> 01:29:38,573
SAFETY IMPACTS. KEY OPERATIVE 

2433
01:29:38,573 --> 01:29:42,477
WORD THERE IS MAY, IT DOES NOT  

2434
01:29:42,477 --> 01:29:47,215
PROPOSE A DEFINITIVE OBLIGATION 

2435
01:29:47,215 --> 01:29:49,417
ON ANYONE, IT LEAVES PLENTY OF 

2436
01:29:49,417 --> 01:29:50,685
ROOM FOR DISCRETION AND 

2437
01:29:50,685 --> 01:29:56,591
FLEXIBILITY. THE DIRECTOR AND/OR

2438
01:29:56,591 --> 01:29:57,792
THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT 

2439
01:29:57,792 --> 01:30:00,828
DIRECTOR MAY CHOOSE TO IMPLEMENT

2440
01:30:00,828 --> 01:30:02,029
IT, THEY MAY NOT. COMPLETELY 

2441
01:30:02,029 --> 01:30:03,398
DISCRETIONARY. AND FOR THOSE 

2442
01:30:03,398 --> 01:30:12,774
REASONS, I WILL BE SUPPORTING

01:30:18,813 --> 01:30:19,814
HERE TODAY VOTING YES ON THIS, 

2450
01:30:19,814 --> 01:30:21,182
AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY. AS 

2451
01:30:21,182 --> 01:30:22,683
SOMEBODY WHO WAS HERE IN 2021, 

2452
01:30:22,683 --> 01:30:26,487
AND 2022, THE ACTUAL FACT 

2453
01:30:26,487 --> 01:30:28,189
PATTERN DID PLAY OUT WITH 

2454
01:30:28,189 --> 01:30:31,592
SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, IN 

2455
01:30:31,592 --> 01:30:32,426
BROADVIEW AND BITTER LAKE, WHERE

2456
01:30:32,426 --> 01:30:33,961
WE WENT FROM 3/10 TO WELL OVER 

2457
01:30:33,961 --> 01:30:35,129
60. AND WE HAD JURISDICTIONAL 

2458
01:30:35,129 --> 01:30:36,230
DISPUTES BECAUSE SEATTLE PUBLIC 

2459
01:30:36,230 --> 01:30:40,835
SCHOOLS , IT WAS THEIR PROPERTY,

2460
01:30:40,835 --> 01:30:41,636
IT WASN'T THE CITY OF 

2461
01:30:41,636 --> 01:30:43,571
SEATTLE'S PROPERTY. WAS NO 

2462
01:30:43,571 --> 01:30:44,372
MECHANISM IN PLACE FOR SEATTLE 

2463
01:30:44,372 --> 01:30:46,974
PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO BE NOTIFIED OR

2464
01:30:46,974 --> 01:30:51,712
WORK WITH OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS, 

2465
01:30:51,712 --> 01:30:53,281
BECAUSE IT WASN'T OUR LAND. 

2466
01:30:53,281 --> 01:30:54,549
THEY TOOK A DIFFERENT POSITION 

2467
01:30:54,549 --> 01:30:57,318
ABOUT NO SUITES, BUT IN THE 

2468
01:30:57,318 --> 01:31:00,755
MEANTIME, BROADVIEW ELEMENTARY 

2469
01:31:00,755 --> 01:31:01,189
AND THE SURROUNDING 

2470
01:31:01,189 --> 01:31:06,727
NEIGHBORHOODS WERE NOT HAPPY, 

2471
01:31:06,727 --> 01:31:07,862
AND SO, THOSE OF US -- NOTHING 

2472
01:31:07,862 --> 01:31:09,030
AGAINST THOSE OF US THAT ARE 

2473
01:31:09,030 --> 01:31:10,264
ELECTED CITYWIDE, THOSE OF US 

2474
01:31:10,264 --> 01:31:10,898
THAT ARE DISTRICT 

2475
01:31:10,898 --> 01:31:11,732
REPRESENTATIVES WORKED WITH AND 

2476
01:31:11,732 --> 01:31:12,967
DEALT WITH CONSTITUENTS AND 

2477
01:31:12,967 --> 01:31:16,337
PARENTS WHEN A FOLLOW-UP SCHOOL 

2478
01:31:16,337 --> 01:31:17,972
OPENED THAT YOU CAN GO FROM FOUR

2479
01:31:17,972 --> 01:31:23,578
OR FIVE TENTHS UP TO 60 OR 70, 

2480
01:31:23,578 --> 01:31:24,946
AND OUR HANDS WERE TIED, THERE 

2481
01:31:24,946 --> 01:31:25,880
WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO. SO, 

2482
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:27,081
WHEN WE DISTINGUISH BETWEEN 

2483
01:31:27,081 --> 01:31:33,754
OPERATORS AND PROVIDERS, I THINK

2484
01:31:33,754 --> 01:31:35,289
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA HIT IT RIGHT 

2485
01:31:35,289 --> 01:31:38,526
ON THE NOSE, I THINK IT IS A 

2486
01:31:38,526 --> 01:31:41,562
MAY, IT IS NOT A  SHALL, IT IS 

2487
01:31:41,562 --> 01:31:44,165
NOT ANOTHER BURDEN, BUT THERE 

2488
01:31:44,165 --> 01:31:45,566
HAS TO BE SOME DISCRETION AND 

2489
01:31:45,566 --> 01:31:47,668
OPPORTUNITY, SO WE DON'T HAVE 

2490
01:31:47,668 --> 01:31:49,937
THIS NO MAN'S LAND OR 

2491
01:31:49,937 --> 01:31:50,872
JURISDICTION WITH SEATTLE PUBLIC

2492
01:31:50,872 --> 01:31:54,976
-- OR SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT,

2493
01:31:54,976 --> 01:31:56,143
SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, CITY OF 

2494
01:31:56,143 --> 01:31:59,046
SEATTLE, AND EVERYBODY POINTING 

2495
01:31:59,046 --> 01:32:00,448
AT EACH OTHER, AND NOBODY TOLD 

2496
01:32:00,448 --> 01:32:01,916
THE SCHOOL THAT THEY WERE GOING 

2497
01:32:01,916 --> 01:32:05,620
TO ALLOW MORE TENTS. AGAIN, THIS

2498
01:32:05,620 --> 01:32:07,321
ISN'T ABOUT CRIMINALIZING THE 

2499
01:32:07,321 --> 01:32:08,623
HOMELESS. THIS ISN'T THAT 

2500
01:32:08,623 --> 01:32:10,124
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE EMPATHY. IT 

2501
01:32:10,124 --> 01:32:17,965
IS ABOUT A MAY AT GIVEN  AN 

2502
01:32:17,965 --> 01:32:19,333
OPPORTUNITY AND A SPACE FOR THE 

2503
01:32:19,333 --> 01:32:20,234
OPERATOR/PROVIDER TO MAYBE HAVE 

2504
01:32:20,234 --> 01:32:22,203
DISCUSSIONS IF INDEED THERE WILL

2505
01:32:22,203 --> 01:32:23,804
BE A TINY HOUSE VILLAGE NEAR A 

2506
01:32:23,804 --> 01:32:30,011
SCHOOL. AND THAT HAS BEEN AN 

2507
01:32:30,011 --> 01:32:31,012
ONGOING PROBLEM, AND I KNOW 

2508
01:32:31,012 --> 01:32:32,580
PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS 

2509
01:32:32,580 --> 01:32:33,247
POLITICALLY, IT'S KIND OF THE 

2510
01:32:33,247 --> 01:32:34,548
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, BUT SOME 

2511
01:32:34,548 --> 01:32:35,716
OF US WERE AROUND WHEN MAYOR 

2512
01:32:35,716 --> 01:32:37,218
MURRAY DECLARED THE WAR ON 

2513
01:32:37,218 --> 01:32:39,353
HOMELESSNESS IN 2015, AND I 

2514
01:32:39,353 --> 01:32:40,588
THINK COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS WAS 

2515
01:32:40,588 --> 01:32:42,690
AROUND DURING '21, '22 WHEN WE

2516
01:32:42,690 --> 01:32:43,691
WERE DEALING WITH OTHER 

2517
01:32:43,691 --> 01:32:46,093
ENCAMPMENTS AT THREE OTHER 

2518
01:32:46,093 --> 01:32:47,461
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND IN HIGH 

2519
01:32:47,461 --> 01:32:54,902
SCHOOL. AND IT WAS REALLY 

2520
01:32:54,902 --> 01:32:56,003
DIFFICULT, AND US HAVING TALKED 

2521
01:32:56,003 --> 01:32:57,004
TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SCHOOL 

2522
01:32:57,004 --> 01:32:57,838
AND THE SUPERINTENDENT OF 

2523
01:32:57,838 --> 01:32:58,539
SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOL AND 

2524
01:32:58,539 --> 01:32:59,340
HEARING THEIR CONCERNS AND 

2525
01:32:59,340 --> 01:33:00,174
COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHY DIDN'T 

2526
01:33:00,174 --> 01:33:01,442
ANYONE TELL US THAT THIS WAS 

2527
01:33:01,442 --> 01:33:03,010
GOING TO HAPPEN, WHO DO WE TALK 

2528
01:33:03,010 --> 01:33:05,513
TO? AND SO, I DON'T THINK THAT 

2529
01:33:05,513 --> 01:33:07,748
THIS IS LIKE A BAD THING. I 

2530
01:33:07,748 --> 01:33:09,583
THINK IT IS GOOD GOVERNANCE, AND

2531
01:33:09,583 --> 01:33:13,454
AGAIN, IT IS NOT A SHALL, IT IS 

2532
01:33:13,454 --> 01:33:18,526
A "MAY", AND I DON'T THINK 

2533
01:33:18,526 --> 01:33:19,160
THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH 

2534
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:20,494
SAYING, HEY, LET'S TALK TO 

2535
01:33:20,494 --> 01:33:22,029
SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, LET'S 

2536
01:33:22,029 --> 01:33:23,030
TALK ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS AND 

2537
01:33:23,030 --> 01:33:24,332
SAFETY, BECAUSE WE DID HAVE 

2538
01:33:24,332 --> 01:33:26,600
SAFETY ISSUES. WE DID HAVE 

2539
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:27,368
SHOOTINGS, WE DID HAVE 

2540
01:33:27,368 --> 01:33:30,004
OVERDOSES, AND WE ALSO HAD THEM 

2541
01:33:30,004 --> 01:33:32,239
NEXT TO OUR COMMUNITY CENTERS 

2542
01:33:32,239 --> 01:33:37,211
AND OUR BATHROOMS, SO I'M JUST 

2543
01:33:37,211 --> 01:33:38,546
GOING TO BE HONEST ABOUT THAT. I

2544
01:33:38,546 --> 01:33:39,981
KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T WANT

2545
01:33:39,981 --> 01:33:41,682
TO HEAR THAT, BUT THAT IS WHAT 

2546
01:33:41,682 --> 01:33:43,651
IT IS, AND I SPEAK FROM BEING A 

2547
01:33:43,651 --> 01:33:44,385
DISTRICT 5 REPRESENTATIVE 

2548
01:33:44,385 --> 01:33:48,222
ELECTED IN 2015, AND SO, I THINK

2549
01:33:48,222 --> 01:33:48,990
JUST A LITTLE INSTITUTIONAL 

2550
01:33:48,990 --> 01:33:49,991
KNOWLEDGE AND JUST A LITTLE 

2551
01:33:49,991 --> 01:33:51,192
COMMON SENSE ISN'T A BAD THING.

2552
01:33:51,192 --> 01:33:53,427
I DON'T THINK IT MAKES US BAD 

2553
01:33:53,427 --> 01:33:58,032
PEOPLE IF WE SAY "MAY" INSTEAD 

2554
01:33:58,032 --> 01:33:59,400
OF "SHALL" , SO FOR THAT REASON,

2555
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,402
I WILL BE VOTING YES, THANK YOU.

2556
01:34:01,535 --> 01:34:04,739
>> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

2557
01:34:04,739 --> 01:34:05,973
FOSTER, AND THEN IF THERE ARE 

2558
01:34:05,973 --> 01:34:06,741
ANY OTHER COMMENTS AFTER 

2559
01:34:06,741 --> 01:34:07,808
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER, IF NOT, WE

2560
01:34:07,808 --> 01:34:09,176
WILL GO BACK TO THE AMENDMENT 

2561
01:34:09,176 --> 01:34:10,811
SPONSOR. 

2562
01:34:10,811 --> 01:34:12,079
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL 

2563
01:34:12,079 --> 01:34:13,347
PRESIDENT. AND THANKS, 

2564
01:34:13,347 --> 01:34:17,451
COLLEAGUES, FOR YOUR COMMENTS. I

2565
01:34:17,451 --> 01:34:18,486
KNOW THERE HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT 

2566
01:34:18,486 --> 01:34:19,620
WORK ON THIS AMENDMENT SINCE THE

2567
01:34:19,620 --> 01:34:21,222
FIRST TIME IT WAS INTRODUCED AND

2568
01:34:21,222 --> 01:34:22,256
I APPRECIATE THOSE CHANGES. I 

2569
01:34:22,256 --> 01:34:23,691
WILL BE VOTING NO ON THIS FOR 

2570
01:34:23,691 --> 01:34:24,692
SEVERAL REASONS AND I APPRECIATE

2571
01:34:24,692 --> 01:34:29,363
THE FOCUS ON TENTS INSTEAD OF 

2572
01:34:29,363 --> 01:34:37,038
"SHALL" . ALL SIGNIFICANT 

2573
01:34:37,038 --> 01:34:37,638
CONCERNS AROUND THE 

2574
01:34:37,638 --> 01:34:38,539
DIFFERENTIATION, AROUND 

2575
01:34:38,539 --> 01:34:44,011
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHELTERS THAT

2576
01:34:44,011 --> 01:34:45,379
WE ARE MAKING IN THIS AMENDMENT.

2577
01:34:45,379 --> 01:34:46,147
FURTHER, YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE 

2578
01:34:46,147 --> 01:34:47,982
THAT THE WORK THAT WE DID, AND 

2579
01:34:47,982 --> 01:34:49,216
THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ 

2580
01:34:49,216 --> 01:34:50,451
FOR WORKING SO CLOSELY WITH ME 

2581
01:34:50,451 --> 01:34:52,019
AND FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THE 

2582
01:34:52,019 --> 01:34:53,120
AMENDMENT FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY 

2583
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:55,256
PLAN, I BELIEVE THE WORK THAT WE

2584
01:34:55,256 --> 01:34:56,524
DID ON THAT AMENDMENT ALLOWS US 

2585
01:34:56,524 --> 01:34:57,324
TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION 

2586
01:34:57,324 --> 01:34:58,492
UNIQUE NEEDS OF ANY OF THE 

2587
01:34:58,492 --> 01:35:02,396
SHELTER LOCATIONS THAT WOULD BE 

2588
01:35:02,396 --> 01:35:03,097
IDENTIFIED UNDER THIS LOCATION, 

2589
01:35:03,097 --> 01:35:04,532
SO I BELIEVE THERE IS ALREADY A 

2590
01:35:04,532 --> 01:35:06,300
PROVISION TO ALLOW FOR THAT IN 

2591
01:35:06,300 --> 01:35:08,035
MY PERSPECTIVE, SO FOR THOSE 

2592
01:35:08,035 --> 01:35:09,036
REASONS, COLLEAGUES, I WILL BE 

2593
01:35:09,036 --> 01:35:10,438
VOTING NO ON THIS AMENDMENT, 

2594
01:35:10,438 --> 01:35:11,472
THANK YOU. 

2595
01:35:11,472 --> 01:35:12,907
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

2596
01:35:12,907 --> 01:35:15,443
FOSTER. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA? 

2597
01:35:15,443 --> 01:35:21,248
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

2598
01:35:21,248 --> 01:35:23,751
I WILL JUST CLOSE BY SAYING A 

2599
01:35:23,751 --> 01:35:24,852
COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE IS IT DOES

2600
01:35:24,852 --> 01:35:27,688
NOT HURT TO COUNT -- CALL OUT 

2601
01:35:27,688 --> 01:35:28,689
THIS PIECE ABOUT THE SCHOOLS, 

2602
01:35:28,689 --> 01:35:29,957
BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL 

2603
01:35:29,957 --> 01:35:31,158
OF US TO WORK TOGETHER TO 

2604
01:35:31,158 --> 01:35:36,497
ENSURE, LIKE I SAID EARLIER THAT

2605
01:35:36,497 --> 01:35:37,765
WE HAVE SUCCESS AT THE SCHOOLS, 

2606
01:35:37,765 --> 01:35:39,233
AND SOME OF US HAVE SEEN, TO 

2607
01:35:39,233 --> 01:35:43,270
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ'S POINTS 

2608
01:35:43,270 --> 01:35:44,538
EARLIER, ISSUES IN THE PAST, AND

2609
01:35:44,538 --> 01:35:47,074
SO, WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT 

2610
01:35:47,074 --> 01:35:48,743
WE CARE AND THAT WE ARE GOING TO

2611
01:35:48,743 --> 01:35:52,079
WORK TOGETHER AND IF SOMETHING 

2612
01:35:52,079 --> 01:35:58,652
ADDITIONAL IS IDENTIFIED TO MAKE

2613
01:35:58,652 --> 01:35:59,753
THE SHELTER SUCCESSFUL AT THAT 

2614
01:35:59,753 --> 01:36:02,590
LOCATION, THEN WE MAY DO THAT. I

2615
01:36:02,590 --> 01:36:04,391
WILL SAY, IN TERMS OF THE 

2616
01:36:04,391 --> 01:36:04,892
CONVERSATION ABOUT THE 

2617
01:36:04,892 --> 01:36:06,694
CONTRACTS, WE AS COUNCIL DON'T 

2618
01:36:06,694 --> 01:36:09,163
HAVE THE ABILITY TO LEAN INTO 

2619
01:36:09,163 --> 01:36:10,164
CONTRACTS AT THE DEPARTMENT 

2620
01:36:10,164 --> 01:36:13,634
LEVEL. THAT IS REALLY A MAYOR'S

2621
01:36:13,634 --> 01:36:23,778
OFFICE FUNCTION, THEY OVERSEE 

2622
01:36:23,778 --> 01:36:24,512
THE DEPARTMENTS, AND THEY CAN 

2623
01:36:24,512 --> 01:36:25,446
TELL THEIR DEPARTMENTS, HEY, 

2624
01:36:25,446 --> 01:36:26,313
WHEN YOU PUT THAT CONTRACT 

2625
01:36:26,313 --> 01:36:27,314
TOGETHER, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO 

2626
01:36:27,314 --> 01:36:28,315
INCLUDE THESE PROVISIONS IN THE 

2627
01:36:28,315 --> 01:36:28,949
CONTRACTS. COUNCIL DOESN'T 

2628
01:36:28,949 --> 01:36:30,384
ALWAYS HAVE INSIGHT. WE DON'T 

2629
01:36:30,384 --> 01:36:37,491
ALWAYS HAVE VISIBILITY . SO, 

2630
01:36:37,491 --> 01:36:38,893
KOUNTZE HAS THE ABILITY TO SAY 

2631
01:36:38,893 --> 01:36:39,994
TO A DEPARTMENT, HEY, WE CARE 

2632
01:36:39,994 --> 01:36:41,228
ABOUT THIS, SO WHEN YOU INCLUDE 

2633
01:36:41,228 --> 01:36:44,999
THAT, [ INAUDIBLE ]. VIA THE 

2634
01:36:44,999 --> 01:36:46,066
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, WHICH IS 

2635
01:36:46,066 --> 01:36:48,569
WHY THIS SAYS "MAY". THIS MAY 

2636
01:36:48,569 --> 01:36:50,805
HAPPEN THAT YOU WORK TOGETHER 

2637
01:36:50,805 --> 01:36:58,279
WITH ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY 

2638
01:36:58,279 --> 01:36:59,213
MEASURES PUT IN PLACE, THEN YOU 

2639
01:36:59,213 --> 01:37:00,681
CAN WORK TOGETHER AND IT CAN BE 

2640
01:37:00,681 --> 01:37:01,682
INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT. IT 

2641
01:37:01,682 --> 01:37:03,184
WOULD REQUIRE US TO STAY ON TOP 

2642
01:37:03,184 --> 01:37:12,326
OF IT, WE WOULD HAVE TO WORK 

2643
01:37:12,326 --> 01:37:13,427
WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE TO 

2644
01:37:13,427 --> 01:37:14,562
ENSURE THAT SOMETHING GOT IN, 

2645
01:37:14,562 --> 01:37:15,696
AND IF THEY DON'T AGREE, MAKE 

2646
01:37:15,696 --> 01:37:17,198
ITS WAY IN, SO EVERYONE LEVEL 

2647
01:37:17,198 --> 01:37:20,134
SET THE CONVERSATION ABOUT 

2648
01:37:20,134 --> 01:37:21,235
THINGS ARE BETTER PLACED IN 

2649
01:37:21,235 --> 01:37:22,570
CONTRACTS, IT IS OKAY FOR US IN 

2650
01:37:22,570 --> 01:37:23,804
THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS TO 

2651
01:37:23,804 --> 01:37:25,773
INDICATE SOME INTEREST IN 

2652
01:37:25,773 --> 01:37:29,310
PARTICULAR AREAS THAT MIGHT BE 

2653
01:37:29,310 --> 01:37:30,511
REFLECTED IN THE CONTRACT. IN 

2654
01:37:30,511 --> 01:37:33,681
ANY EVENT, I JUST WANT TO 

2655
01:37:33,681 --> 01:37:35,616
UNDERSCORE THAT I DON'T THINK 

2656
01:37:35,616 --> 01:37:37,851
THERE IS A LOT OF ALIGNMENT HERE

2657
01:37:37,851 --> 01:37:48,295
ON SHELTERS AND TINY HOME 

2658
01:37:48,729 --> 01:37:49,797
VILLAGES AND ENSURING WE ARE 

2659
01:37:49,797 --> 01:37:50,331
SUPPORTING OUR UNHOUSED 

2660
01:37:50,331 --> 01:37:51,765
POPULATIONS, AND THAT WE REALLY 

2661
01:37:51,765 --> 01:37:57,238
SET UP FOR SUCCESS AND FOSTERING

2662
01:37:57,238 --> 01:37:58,606
AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE PEOPLE 

2663
01:37:58,606 --> 01:38:02,877
WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THINGS 

2664
01:38:02,877 --> 01:38:05,179
EVEN BETTER, IF THAT OPPORTUNITY

2665
01:38:05,179 --> 01:38:10,651
IS THERE AND THE PARTIES SO 

2666
01:38:10,651 --> 01:38:11,685
CHOOSE. IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY, IT

2667
01:38:11,685 --> 01:38:13,587
IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. I HOPE TO 

2668
01:38:13,587 --> 01:38:20,861
HAVE YOUR SUPPORT , THIS SEEMS 

2669
01:38:20,861 --> 01:38:21,662
LIKE COMMON SENSE LEGISLATION. 

2670
01:38:21,662 --> 01:38:23,264
IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE ONEROUS, 

2671
01:38:23,264 --> 01:38:26,967
AND THAT IS WHY IT IS THE "MAY" 

2672
01:38:26,967 --> 01:38:27,768
LANGUAGE AND OPPORTUNITY 

2673
01:38:27,768 --> 01:38:28,402
LANGUAGE VERSUS AN ACTUAL 

2674
01:38:28,402 --> 01:38:29,703
REQUIREMENT. THANK YOU, COUNCIL 

2675
01:38:29,703 --> 01:38:30,037
PRESIDENT.

121195 AS REFLECTED ON AMENDMENT

2700
01:39:57,191 --> 01:39:57,591
B POINT 

2701
01:39:57,591 --> 01:39:58,826
>> IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND 

2702
01:39:58,826 --> 01:40:00,060
SECONDED TO AMEND THE BILL AS 

2703
01:40:00,060 --> 01:40:01,495
PRESENTED ON AMENDMENT B POINT  

2704
01:40:01,495 --> 01:40:04,331
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, [ 

2705
01:40:04,331 --> 01:40:04,865
INAUDIBLE ]. 

2706
01:40:04,865 --> 01:40:05,966
>> I MADE CHANGES TO AMENDMENT 

2707
01:40:05,966 --> 01:40:16,510
B, AGAIN, AS I HAD CONVERSATIONS

2708
01:40:18,512 --> 01:40:22,349
. [ INAUDIBLE ] LOW INCOME 

2709
01:40:22,349 --> 01:40:24,385
HOUSING, THE NEW VERSION OF THIS

2710
01:40:24,385 --> 01:40:24,885
AMENDMENT ONLY REQUIRES 

2711
01:40:24,885 --> 01:40:31,091
OVERNIGHT SECURITY, NOT 24/7, 

2712
01:40:31,091 --> 01:40:34,862
JUST OVERNIGHT, THAT IS 

2713
01:40:34,862 --> 01:40:35,829
IDENTIFIABLE. IT DOES NOT 

2714
01:40:35,829 --> 01:40:36,930
REQUIRE THIRD-PARTY SECURITY, 

2715
01:40:36,930 --> 01:40:39,266
NOR DOES IT SET HOURS, THERE IS 

2716
01:40:39,266 --> 01:40:42,803
FLEXIBILITY FOR THAT. THIS IS 

2717
01:40:42,803 --> 01:40:47,875
FOR THE OPERATORS TO DETERMINE ,

2718
01:40:47,875 --> 01:40:48,509
THE PROVIDERS THAT HAVE 

2719
01:40:48,509 --> 01:40:49,309
INSTITUTED OVERNIGHT SECURITY IN

2720
01:40:49,309 --> 01:40:50,711
MY DISTRICT HAVE SEEN FEWER 911 

2721
01:40:50,711 --> 01:40:55,282
CALLS, FEWER INCIDENTS, 

2722
01:40:55,282 --> 01:40:55,716
INCREASED RESIDENT 

2723
01:40:55,716 --> 01:41:02,890
PARTICIPATION, AND AN INCREASE 

2724
01:41:02,890 --> 01:41:04,024
IN STAFF MORALE. IN ESSENCE, IT 

2725
01:41:04,024 --> 01:41:05,459
HAS PROVIDED SAFETY FOR THE 

2726
01:41:05,459 --> 01:41:06,727
RESIDENTS AND THE STAFF WHO ARE 

2727
01:41:06,727 --> 01:41:07,728
THE MOST IMPACTED BY PUBLIC 

2728
01:41:07,728 --> 01:41:15,169
SAFETY ISSUES AT THE SITE, AND 

2729
01:41:15,169 --> 01:41:15,803
THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS 

2730
01:41:15,803 --> 01:41:16,503
AND NEIGHBORS. COLLEAGUES, I 

2731
01:41:16,503 --> 01:41:17,971
BELIEVE AS I SAID EARLIER, IF WE

2732
01:41:17,971 --> 01:41:19,339
WORK TOGETHER, WE ARE GOING TO 

2733
01:41:19,339 --> 01:41:20,808
HAVE BETTER OUTCOMES AND AS THE 

2734
01:41:20,808 --> 01:41:24,778
LAST AMENDMENT, THEY WERE 

2735
01:41:24,778 --> 01:41:25,946
CRAFTED WITH THIS GOAL IN MIND. 

2736
01:41:25,946 --> 01:41:27,181
WE ALL SUPPORT TINY HOMES, WE 

2737
01:41:27,181 --> 01:41:28,582
WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE SET 

2738
01:41:28,582 --> 01:41:29,817
UP AS A DESPERATE THIS SECURITY 

2739
01:41:29,817 --> 01:41:31,051
PIECE IS NOT MEANT TO BE 

2740
01:41:31,051 --> 01:41:35,155
ONEROUS, AND AS I SAID EARLIER 

2741
01:41:35,155 --> 01:41:36,390
IN THE SITES THAT HAVE 

2742
01:41:36,390 --> 01:41:37,157
INSTITUTED SOME TYPE OF 

2743
01:41:37,157 --> 01:41:37,958
SECURITY, IT'S WORKED REALLY 

2744
01:41:37,958 --> 01:41:39,193
WELL FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE

2745
01:41:39,193 --> 01:41:40,627
THERE AND FOR THE SURROUNDING 

2746
01:41:40,627 --> 01:41:41,829
NEIGHBORS AS WELL, AND THAT IS 

2747
01:41:41,829 --> 01:41:45,666
WHAT WE WANT, WE WANT FOLKS TO 

2748
01:41:45,666 --> 01:41:52,272
LIVE IN SAFE ENVIRONMENTS. THE 

2749
01:41:52,272 --> 01:41:53,607
FOLKS THAT ARE LIVING IN TINY 

2750
01:41:53,607 --> 01:41:55,242
HOMES AND THE FOLKS THAT ARE 

2751
01:41:55,242 --> 01:41:56,176
THEIR NEIGHBORS IN THE TINY 

2752
01:41:56,176 --> 01:41:57,277
HOMES. THANK YOU, COUNCIL 

2753
01:41:57,277 --> 01:42:01,682

>> ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS 

2755
01:42:03,083 --> 01:42:05,919
REGARDING AMENDMENT B? 

2756

COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER QUESTION 

2757

STAFFING, AS WELL AS AN 

2766
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:21,201
AMENDMENT THAT PROVIDES GOALS 

2767
01:42:21,201 --> 01:42:31,111
FOR CASE MANAGEMENT RATIOS. I 

2768
01:42:31,111 --> 01:42:32,279
BELIEVE THAT THOSE ARE REALLY 

2769
01:42:32,279 --> 01:42:33,146
IMPORTANT FOR MAKING SURE THAT 

2770
01:42:33,146 --> 01:42:34,781
WE HAVE ADEQUATE AND APPROPRIATE

2771
01:42:34,781 --> 01:42:37,417
STAFFING ON-SITE AS WE SEEK TO 

2772
01:42:37,417 --> 01:42:38,218
DO THE APPROPRIATE SHELTER 

2773
01:42:38,218 --> 01:42:39,219
EXPANSION. FOR THOSE REASONS, I 

2774
01:42:39,219 --> 01:42:40,821

>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

2779
01:42:44,525 --> 01:42:46,527
AS I'M SITTING HERE, LOOKING AT

2780
01:42:46,527 --> 01:42:48,262
THESE AMENDMENTS, AND YOU KNOW, 

2781
01:42:48,262 --> 01:42:52,566
WHAT IS THE LANGUAGE , IT IS 

2782
01:42:52,566 --> 01:42:53,600
STRIKING THAT WE ARE TALKING 

2783
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:54,468
ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY, PUBLIC 

2784
01:42:54,468 --> 01:42:55,702
SAFETY, PUBLIC SAFETY ON A 

2785
01:42:55,702 --> 01:43:02,409
LAND-USE COMMITTEE BILL. THAT IS

2786
01:43:02,409 --> 01:43:03,310
SPONSORED BY THE HOUSING 

2787
01:43:03,310 --> 01:43:04,077
COMMITTEE CHAIR. I JUST MAKE 

2788
01:43:04,077 --> 01:43:05,345
THAT POINT BECAUSE THERE IS A 

2789
01:43:05,345 --> 01:43:06,146
GOOD GOVERNANCE POINT HERE 

2790
01:43:06,146 --> 01:43:07,314
GENERALLY THAT WE SHOULD BE 

2791
01:43:07,314 --> 01:43:16,957
MINDFUL MOVING FORWARD, SO I 

2792
01:43:16,957 --> 01:43:18,091
WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT. 

2793
01:43:18,091 --> 01:43:18,659
ADDITIONALLY, BY THE WAY, 

2794
01:43:18,659 --> 01:43:22,396
RELATED TO AMENDMENT A, I THINK 

2795
01:43:22,396 --> 01:43:24,431
THE CITY WOULD BE HAPPY TO KNOW 

2796
01:43:24,431 --> 01:43:25,265
THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN 

2797
01:43:25,265 --> 01:43:26,266
CITY GOVERNMENT, AT LEAST WITH 

2798
01:43:26,266 --> 01:43:27,401
CITY COUNCIL AND THE SCHOOL 

2799
01:43:27,401 --> 01:43:29,870
DISTRICT , I CAN'T SPEAK FOR 

2800
01:43:29,870 --> 01:43:31,038
THE EXECUTIVE, IS MUCH BETTER. 

2801
01:43:31,038 --> 01:43:31,738
SO, COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, THANK 

2802
01:43:31,738 --> 01:43:33,674
YOU FOR BRINGING UP TO HIS TREE,

2803
01:43:33,674 --> 01:43:34,841
THE CHALLENGES WE WERE FACING A 

2804
01:43:34,841 --> 01:43:36,243
DECADE AGO, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT 

2805
01:43:36,243 --> 01:43:46,787
TO KNOW , SUPERINTENDENT, VERY 

2806
01:43:49,556 --> 01:43:50,324
POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. 

2807
01:43:50,324 --> 01:43:51,425
I MENTIONED THAT RAINIER BEACH 

2808
01:43:51,425 --> 01:43:52,359
PUBLIC SAFETY WALK, WE HAD A 

2809
01:43:52,359 --> 01:43:53,760
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE SCHOOL 

2810
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:54,394
DISTRICT, THEIR SECURITY PERSON,

2811
01:43:54,394 --> 01:43:55,829
IN ADDITION TO THE PRINCIPLES 

2812
01:43:55,829 --> 01:43:57,097
FROM THE THREE SCHOOLS, SO IT'S

2813
01:43:57,097 --> 01:43:58,532
VERY POSITIVE. SO, I THINK THE 

2814
01:43:58,532 --> 01:44:00,000
CITY SHOULD KNOW THAT OFTEN IN 

2815
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,269
THE PAST, WHEN I WAS AT THE 

2816
01:44:02,269 --> 01:44:09,009
COMMUNITY COUNCIL, BETWEEN THE 

2817
01:44:09,009 --> 01:44:09,943
SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE CITY, 

2818
01:44:09,943 --> 01:44:11,311
IT'S A MUST LIKE THEY HAVE TO 

2819
01:44:11,311 --> 01:44:12,279
EXCHANGE AMBASSADORS IN ORDER TO

2820
01:44:12,279 --> 01:44:13,947
HAVE SOME TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP 

2821
01:44:13,947 --> 01:44:14,982
AND I THINK IT'S REALLY 

2822
01:44:14,982 --> 01:44:16,383
IMPORTANT FOR THIS TOPIC HERE. 

2823
01:44:16,383 --> 01:44:21,722
NOW, AS NOTED, THERE ARE A LOT 

2824
01:44:21,722 --> 01:44:23,457
OF PUBLIC SAFETY PIECES INTO 

2825
01:44:23,457 --> 01:44:31,698
THIS AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING 

2826
01:44:31,698 --> 01:44:32,599
WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS, I HAVE 

2827
01:44:32,599 --> 01:44:33,734
MET COUNTLESS -- INCLUDING THOSE

2828
01:44:33,734 --> 01:44:34,801
IN PUBLIC COMMENT, THOSE WHO 

2829
01:44:34,801 --> 01:44:35,669
USED TO WORK FOR SERVICE 

2830
01:44:35,669 --> 01:44:37,304
PROVIDERS WHO NOW WORK FOR THE 

2831
01:44:37,304 --> 01:44:38,538
CITY, AND OTHERS ON THESE TINY 

2832
01:44:38,538 --> 01:44:39,806
HOME VILLAGES, BUT ALL ACROSS 

2833
01:44:39,806 --> 01:44:41,174
THE BOARD, AND FROM THAT 

2834
01:44:41,174 --> 01:44:42,342
EXPERIENCE, I DO KNOW THE 

2835
01:44:42,342 --> 01:44:44,878
CHALLENGES . LIKE THE SALMON BAY

2836
01:44:44,878 --> 01:44:49,249
VILLAGE THAT WE HAD, WHICH WAS 

2837
01:44:49,249 --> 01:44:50,617
AN RV SAFE LOT AND IT WAS 

2838
01:44:50,617 --> 01:44:54,287
ISSUED, BUT IT WAS DONE WELL. 

2839
01:44:54,287 --> 01:44:55,288
AND THE SECURITY PIECES WERE 

2840
01:44:55,288 --> 01:45:00,594
DESIGNED INTO IT AND THEY HAD 24

2841
01:45:00,594 --> 01:45:01,862
HOUR STAFFING THAT CAN MAKE THAT

2842
01:45:01,862 --> 01:45:03,363
911 CALL OR CONTROL WAS COMING 

2843
01:45:03,363 --> 01:45:07,467
IN, CHECK COMING IN AND OUT, SO 

2844
01:45:07,467 --> 01:45:08,402
THE STAFFING COULD DO THOSE 

2845
01:45:08,402 --> 01:45:09,636
KINDS OF FUNCTIONS, AND I THINK 

2846
01:45:09,636 --> 01:45:11,038
THEY DID THEM WELL. AND I SAY 

2847
01:45:11,038 --> 01:45:12,305
THIS BECAUSE I ALSO KNOW FROM 

2848
01:45:12,305 --> 01:45:13,573
ALL THIS ENGAGEMENT WITH SERVICE

2849
01:45:13,573 --> 01:45:17,244
PROVIDERS , AND CAN I ADD, TOO, 

2850
01:45:17,244 --> 01:45:21,748
BY THE WAY, IN TERMS OF 

2851
01:45:21,748 --> 01:45:22,449
SECURITY, PRIVATE SECURITY, 

2852
01:45:22,449 --> 01:45:23,784
FIRST I WANT TO THANK ALL THE 

2853
01:45:23,784 --> 01:45:24,951
BUSINESSES ACROSS THE CITY THAT 

2854
01:45:24,951 --> 01:45:28,755
BRING ON PRIVATE SECURITY OR 

2855
01:45:28,755 --> 01:45:29,556
OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS 

2856
01:45:29,556 --> 01:45:30,590
GENERALLY THAT DO IT, BECAUSE 

2857
01:45:30,590 --> 01:45:33,593
IT'S HARD I HAVE BEEN ENGAGING 

2858
01:45:33,593 --> 01:45:39,199
WITH [ INAUDIBLE ] AND THEY 

2859
01:45:39,199 --> 01:45:42,502
DON'T BRING IT BECAUSE OF THE 

2860
01:45:42,502 --> 01:45:43,937
COST AND SO FORTH. AND I RAISE 

2861
01:45:43,937 --> 01:45:44,871
THIS BECAUSE FOR THE SHELTERS, 

2862
01:45:44,871 --> 01:45:46,106
THE MARGINS ARE NOT THAT GREAT, 

2863
01:45:46,106 --> 01:45:49,910
AND THE COST OF HAVING A 

2864
01:45:49,910 --> 01:45:55,882
DEDICATED SECURITY TEAM , GIVEN 

2865
01:45:55,882 --> 01:46:05,959
THE FACT OF THE OTHER 24 HOUR 

2866
01:46:05,959 --> 01:46:07,194
STAFFING THAT CAN MAKE THAT 911 

2867
01:46:07,194 --> 01:46:08,195
CALL TO DO THESE DIFFERENT 

2868
01:46:08,195 --> 01:46:09,096
PIECES THAT HAVE A SECURITY 

2869
01:46:09,096 --> 01:46:10,564
ELEMENT TO IT, I DON'T WANT TO 

2870
01:46:10,564 --> 01:46:11,765
CONFLATE THE TWO, THAT BASED ON 

2871
01:46:11,765 --> 01:46:12,599
THIS AND THE FACTORS, 

2872
01:46:12,599 --> 01:46:17,104
PARTICULARLY IN TERMS OF THE 

2873
01:46:17,104 --> 01:46:18,505
COST AND SO FORTH, ON THIS A 

2874
01:46:18,505 --> 01:46:19,806
BIT, THIS AMENDMENT, I WILL VOTE

2875
01:46:19,806 --> 01:46:21,742
NO. 

2876
01:46:21,742 --> 01:46:22,609
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

2877
01:46:22,609 --> 01:46:23,944
KETTLE. COUNCILMEMBER LIN? 

2878
01:46:23,944 --> 01:46:25,378
>> THANK YOU. JUST A COUPLE 

2879
01:46:25,378 --> 01:46:27,848
QUESTIONS FOR COUNCILMEMBER 

2880
01:46:27,848 --> 01:46:33,887
RIVERA. THERE WAS A PRIOR 

2881
01:46:33,887 --> 01:46:35,155
AMENDMENT THAT REQUIRES 24 HOUR 

2882
01:46:35,155 --> 01:46:37,491
STAFFING , JUST CURIOUS, WOULD 

2883
01:46:37,491 --> 01:46:40,394
THIS BE -- COULD ONE OF THOSE 

2884
01:46:40,394 --> 01:46:46,032
TWO STAFF BE THE TRAINED 

2885
01:46:46,032 --> 01:46:46,933
SECURITY STAFF DURING OVERNIGHT,

2886
01:46:46,933 --> 01:46:48,001
SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE 

2887
01:46:48,001 --> 01:46:49,603
THREE NECESSARILY IF THIS 

2888
01:46:49,603 --> 01:46:50,570
PASSES? THAT ONE OF THEM COULD 

2889
01:46:50,570 --> 01:46:52,005
BE THE 24/7 STAFFING, IS THAT 

2890
01:46:52,005 --> 01:46:53,974
THE INTENT? 

2891
01:46:53,974 --> 01:46:55,142
>> ABSOLUTELY, PLEASE, YES. 

2892
01:46:55,142 --> 01:46:58,879
>> COUNCILMEMBER LIN, THIS 

2893
01:46:58,879 --> 01:47:00,747
DOESN'T HAVE A NUMBER NOR DOES 

2894
01:47:00,747 --> 01:47:02,249
IT SAY IT HAS TO BE A 

2895
01:47:02,249 --> 01:47:10,857
THIRD-PARTY. IF SECURITY IS 

2896
01:47:10,857 --> 01:47:11,458
PROVIDING THE SECURITY, THEY 

2897
01:47:11,458 --> 01:47:12,659
JUST NEED TO BE TRAINED BECAUSE 

2898
01:47:12,659 --> 01:47:13,994
THEY THINK IT IS IMPORTANT NOT 

2899
01:47:13,994 --> 01:47:23,870
TO PUT STAFF IN A SITUATION . 

2900
01:47:23,870 --> 01:47:24,871
PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW WHO IS 

2901
01:47:24,871 --> 01:47:26,072
PROVIDING THAT SECURITY. SO, 

2902
01:47:26,072 --> 01:47:27,307
THERE IS FLEXIBILITY WITHIN -- 

2903
01:47:27,307 --> 01:47:28,575
AND ALSO, IT DOESN'T SAY HOW 

2904
01:47:28,575 --> 01:47:31,511
MANY OF THE HOURS OVERNIGHT, 

2905
01:47:31,511 --> 01:47:36,583
BECAUSE IT WORKS DIFFERENTLY IN 

2906
01:47:36,583 --> 01:47:37,384
DIFFERENT PLACES FOR DIFFERENT 

2907
01:47:37,384 --> 01:47:38,518
PROVIDERS, SO, THERE IS 

2908
01:47:38,518 --> 01:47:44,191
FLEXIBILITY BUILT IN. IT JUST 

2909
01:47:44,191 --> 01:47:44,825
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SECURITY IS 

2910
01:47:44,825 --> 01:47:46,259
NEEDED AT THESE LOCATIONS FOR 

2911
01:47:46,259 --> 01:47:48,295
THE RESIDENTS AS MUCH AS FOR THE

2912
01:47:48,295 --> 01:47:55,469
NEIGHBORS, AND THIS SHOULD BE 

2913
01:47:55,469 --> 01:47:57,103
IDENTIFIABLE AND TRAINED SO THAT

2914
01:47:57,103 --> 01:47:58,138
THEY ARE NOT PUT IN HARMS WAY, 

2915
01:47:58,138 --> 01:47:59,539
BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY, WE KNOW 

2916
01:47:59,539 --> 01:48:00,974
THAT AT SOME OF THE SITES, WE 

2917
01:48:00,974 --> 01:48:10,951
HAVE OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS THAT 

2918
01:48:10,951 --> 01:48:12,285
SHOW UP THAT WE CAN'T ALWAYS 

2919
01:48:12,285 --> 01:48:13,119
KNOW ABOUT AHEAD OF TIME 

2920
01:48:13,119 --> 01:48:14,721
OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A PERSON WHO

2921
01:48:14,721 --> 01:48:18,658
IS DEDICATED OVERNIGHT WHO IS ON

2922
01:48:18,658 --> 01:48:19,459
DECK FOR PROVIDING THAT 

2923
01:48:19,459 --> 01:48:21,261
SECURITY, SO THERE IS A LOT OF 

2924
01:48:21,261 --> 01:48:22,896
>> ABILITY BUILT IN HERE, I HOPE

2925
01:48:22,896 --> 01:48:24,931
I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION, AND IT

2926
01:48:24,931 --> 01:48:31,738
DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A 

2927
01:48:31,738 --> 01:48:33,039
NUMBER, IT'S JUST THAT SERVICES

2928
01:48:33,039 --> 01:48:33,940
BEING PROVIDED, THAT THE PERSON 

2929
01:48:33,940 --> 01:48:34,908
PROVIDING THE SERVICE IS 

2930
01:48:34,908 --> 01:48:36,176
TRAINED, SO THAT THEY ARE SET UP

2931
01:48:36,176 --> 01:48:38,245
FOR SUCCESS AND SAFETY, AND THAT

2932
01:48:38,245 --> 01:48:40,046
THEY ARE IDENTIFIABLE TO FOLKS, 

2933
01:48:40,046 --> 01:48:50,524
SO YOU KNOW WHO TO CONTACT. 

2934
01:48:51,157 --> 01:48:52,092
>> THE TERM OVERNIGHT, IT SOUNDS

2935
01:48:52,092 --> 01:48:52,959
LIKE THERE IS SOME FLEXIBILITY 

2936
01:48:52,959 --> 01:48:54,194
THERE ABOUT WHAT THAT COULD 

2937
01:48:54,194 --> 01:49:00,000
MEAN. 

2938
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:01,468
>> THE DEPENDS ON THE SITE. WE 

2939
01:49:01,468 --> 01:49:02,602
HEARD FROM PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY,

2940
01:49:02,602 --> 01:49:03,470
SOME SITES DON'T HAVE ISSUES, 

2941
01:49:03,470 --> 01:49:04,905
AND THEN OTHER SITES DO, SO IT 

2942
01:49:04,905 --> 01:49:05,739
REALLY GIVES THAT FLEXIBILITY, 

2943
01:49:05,739 --> 01:49:06,806
SO THAT THE PROVIDER CAN 

2944
01:49:06,806 --> 01:49:08,775
DETERMINE HOW TO BEST SET IT UP.

2945
01:49:08,775 --> 01:49:09,442
>> THANK YOU. 

2946
01:49:09,442 --> 01:49:10,644
>> AWESOME, THANK YOU, 

2947
01:49:10,644 --> 01:49:17,517
COUNCILMEMBER LIN. COUNCILMEMBER

2948
01:49:17,517 --> 01:49:18,451
SAKA FOLLOWED BY COUNCILMEMBER 

2949
01:49:18,451 --> 01:49:18,685
JUAREZ. 

2950
01:49:18,685 --> 01:49:19,853
>> THANK YOU. FIRST OFF, I WANT 

2951
01:49:19,853 --> 01:49:20,854
TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA 

2952
01:49:20,854 --> 01:49:21,922
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD TODAY,

2953
01:49:21,922 --> 01:49:23,089
APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR 

2954
01:49:23,089 --> 01:49:29,796
LEADERSHIP. I KNOW SHE HAS THE 

2955
01:49:29,796 --> 01:49:31,197
BEST OF INTENTIONS AND PUREST OF

2956
01:49:31,197 --> 01:49:32,766
MOTIVES AND CARES DEEPLY ABOUT 

2957
01:49:32,766 --> 01:49:36,536
OUR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS, AND 

2958
01:49:36,536 --> 01:49:38,538
GETTING THEM HOUSED, AND MAKING 

2959
01:49:38,538 --> 01:49:45,078
SURE THAT WE PROVIDE SAFE , 

2960
01:49:45,078 --> 01:49:47,547
HABITABLE PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO 

2961
01:49:47,547 --> 01:49:55,889
LIVE AND THAT THE ARRANGEMENT 

2962
01:49:55,889 --> 01:49:56,957
WORKS WELL FOR EVERYONE 

2963
01:49:56,957 --> 01:49:58,024
INVOLVED, INCLUDING THE EXISTING

2964
01:49:58,024 --> 01:50:02,162
NEIGHBORS, AND SO, I KNOW THAT 

2965
01:50:02,162 --> 01:50:03,563
TO BE TRUE AND I REALLY DO 

2966
01:50:03,563 --> 01:50:11,604
APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT 

2967
01:50:11,604 --> 01:50:12,339
WENT INTO THIS SPECIFIC 

2968
01:50:12,339 --> 01:50:13,540
AMENDMENT. THIS IS ONE WHERE I 

2969
01:50:13,540 --> 01:50:14,808
AM ACTUALLY GOING TO BE VOTING 

2970
01:50:14,808 --> 01:50:16,676
NO. AND IT'S FOR SIMILAR REASONS

2971
01:50:16,676 --> 01:50:19,045
THAT WERE EXPRESSED, THE COST 

2972
01:50:19,045 --> 01:50:20,313
FACTOR, THE UNSPECIFIED COST 

2973
01:50:20,313 --> 01:50:26,052
FACTOR, I WOULD NOT AT ALL BE 

2974
01:50:26,052 --> 01:50:29,489
SURPRISED AND I'M SURE THE 

2975
01:50:29,489 --> 01:50:40,033
ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE SUPPORTS WHEN

2976
01:50:41,201 --> 01:50:42,202
THIS KIND OF PROVISION IS IN 

2977
01:50:42,202 --> 01:50:43,470
PLACE. THE EMPLOYEE MORALE 

2978
01:50:43,470 --> 01:50:48,441
BOOSTS AND LESS INCIDENCE, ET 

2979
01:50:48,441 --> 01:50:49,709
CETERA, ET CETERA. IT IS ALSO 

2980
01:50:49,709 --> 01:50:50,977
VERY COSTLY AND WE NEED TO GET 

2981
01:50:50,977 --> 01:50:52,112
PEOPLE HOUSED QUICKLY. THAT'S 

2982
01:50:52,112 --> 01:51:02,655
IT. AND THE WRAPAROUND SERVICES,

2983
01:51:05,692 --> 01:51:07,060
WHICH IS A FAIRLY COSTLY 

2984
01:51:07,060 --> 01:51:09,729
ENDEAVOR AS IS. AND EVEN IN THE 

2985
01:51:09,729 --> 01:51:11,064
ABSENCE OF THIS , I WOULD 

2986
01:51:11,064 --> 01:51:16,369
ENCOURAGE THE MAYOR'S OFFICE 

2987
01:51:16,369 --> 01:51:17,404
WHEN THEY IMPLEMENT THE 

2988
01:51:17,404 --> 01:51:22,342
DEPARTMENTS, WHEN THEY THINK 

2989
01:51:22,342 --> 01:51:27,414
ABOUT BAKING IN GIVING THE 

2990
01:51:27,414 --> 01:51:28,681
DEPARTMENT DISCRETION, BAKING IN

2991
01:51:28,681 --> 01:51:32,252
PROVISIONS INTO THE CONTRACTUAL 

2992
01:51:32,252 --> 01:51:34,054
TERMS OF THOSE CONTRACTS, THAT 

2993
01:51:34,054 --> 01:51:35,555
IF THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF 

2994
01:51:35,555 --> 01:51:39,793
PRODUCT -- PROBLEMS OR 

2995
01:51:39,793 --> 01:51:40,894
INDICATORS THAT THINGS WILL BE A

2996
01:51:40,894 --> 01:51:42,495
PROBLEM, THEN WE CAN IMPOSE THIS

2997
01:51:42,495 --> 01:51:46,232
KIND OF REQUIREMENT. BUT AS A 

2998
01:51:46,232 --> 01:51:47,233
STARTING PLACE, AS A BLANKET 

2999
01:51:47,233 --> 01:51:48,968
RULE AT THIS STAGE, YOU KNOW, 

3000
01:51:48,968 --> 01:51:52,105
GIVEN THE OVERRIDING -- ALL THE 

3001
01:51:52,105 --> 01:51:54,774
CONSIDERATIONS AT PLAY, I AM NOT

3002
01:51:54,774 --> 01:52:00,747
GOING TO SUPPORT IT TODAY. I 

3003
01:52:00,747 --> 01:52:02,215
ALSO THINK THERE IS OVERLAP IN 

3004
01:52:02,215 --> 01:52:05,185
COVERAGE ELSEWHERE IN THIS SAME 

3005
01:52:05,185 --> 01:52:06,720
BILL AS AMENDED, WHETHER WE ARE 

3006
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:09,522
TALKING ABOUT REVIEWS OR CENTRAL

3007
01:52:09,522 --> 01:52:11,925
POINTS OF CONTACT OR GOOD 

3008
01:52:11,925 --> 01:52:19,999
NEIGHBOR AGREEMENTS, THE LIKE, 

3009
01:52:19,999 --> 01:52:21,234
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. AND 

3010
01:52:21,234 --> 01:52:22,402
WITH THE OTHER BILLS -- THE 

3011
01:52:22,402 --> 01:52:23,670
OTHER PACKAGE OR SUITE OF BILLS 

3012
01:52:23,670 --> 01:52:24,871
THAT WE PASSED TO ADDRESS THIS 

3013
01:52:24,871 --> 01:52:26,239
AND ENABLE THIS EFFORT MORE 

3014
01:52:26,239 --> 01:52:27,674
BROADLY AND STRATEGICALLY , 

3015
01:52:27,674 --> 01:52:28,808
SIMILAR KIND OF OVERLAPPING 

3016
01:52:28,808 --> 01:52:31,945
COVERAGE AND BECAUSE OF THE 

3017
01:52:31,945 --> 01:52:36,549
COST, I THINK I WILL AGREE, 

3018
01:52:36,549 --> 01:52:40,453
SECURITY -- IDENTIFIABLE 

3019
01:52:40,453 --> 01:52:45,091
SECURITY IS NOT THE SAME AS 

3020
01:52:45,091 --> 01:52:47,794
OTHER SERVICES , BUT BECAUSE OF 

3021
01:52:47,794 --> 01:52:51,865
THE COST, I WANT TO GIVE THE 

3022
01:52:51,865 --> 01:52:53,700
CHANCE FOR THESE OTHER 

3023
01:52:53,700 --> 01:52:54,801
PROVISIONS TO BAKE AND AT WORK, 

3024
01:52:54,801 --> 01:53:00,540
I AM NOT GOING TO BE SUPPORTING 

3025
01:53:00,540 --> 01:53:01,774
THIS TODAY, BUT I DO APPRECIATE 

3026
01:53:01,774 --> 01:53:02,876
THE INTENT AND I KNOW 

3027
01:53:02,876 --> 01:53:03,543
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA'S MOTIVE 

3028
01:53:03,543 --> 01:53:04,244

3032
01:53:11,117 --> 01:53:12,352
GOING TO BE RESPONDING AND 

3033
01:53:12,352 --> 01:53:14,187
VOTING YES ON THIS AND I WILL 

3034
01:53:14,187 --> 01:53:16,990
TELL YOU WHY. AND SO, THAT 

3035
01:53:16,990 --> 01:53:18,191
OVERLAPS WITH WHAT I HAD SHARED 

3036
01:53:18,191 --> 01:53:24,230
EARLIER FIRST, I WANT TO THANK 

3037
01:53:24,230 --> 01:53:25,165
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER FOR BEING 

3038
01:53:25,165 --> 01:53:26,366
REALLY, REALLY WONDERFUL AND 

3039
01:53:26,366 --> 01:53:26,833
WORKING THROUGH THIS 

3040
01:53:26,833 --> 01:53:30,770
LEGISLATION, THE DISCUSSIONS 

3041
01:53:30,770 --> 01:53:32,005
THAT WE HAD, THE AMENDMENTS THAT

3042
01:53:32,005 --> 01:53:32,805
WERE DONE, DISCUSSING THE 

3043
01:53:32,805 --> 01:53:33,840
NEIGHBORHOOD AGREEMENTS, THE 

3044
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:39,879
CRITICAL INCIDENT REPORTS, WHO 

3045
01:53:39,879 --> 01:53:40,513
MAKES THAT 911 CALL, AND AGAIN, 

3046
01:53:40,513 --> 01:53:41,714
I'M PROBABLY GOING TO SAY 

3047
01:53:41,714 --> 01:53:42,282
SOMETHING THAT POLITICALLY, 

3048
01:53:42,282 --> 01:53:42,916
PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO LIKE, 

3049
01:53:42,916 --> 01:53:45,752
BUT WHAT I HAVE SEEN SINCE 2015 

3050
01:53:45,752 --> 01:53:46,553
AN HOUR HOMELESS PUBLISHING AND 

3051
01:53:46,553 --> 01:53:48,154
WHAT I SEE IN 2026, I'M JUST 

3052
01:53:48,154 --> 01:53:50,557
GOING TO SAY THAT SOME OF OUR 

3053
01:53:50,557 --> 01:53:51,491
RESIDENTS WHO ACTUALLY LIVE IN 

3054
01:53:51,491 --> 01:53:52,525
THESE TINY HOUSES ARE SUBJECTED 

3055
01:53:52,525 --> 01:53:54,093
TO MORE, I WOULD BELIEVE, 

3056
01:53:54,093 --> 01:54:00,333
PREDATORY AND VIOLENT BEHAVIOR. 

3057
01:54:00,333 --> 01:54:02,769
I DON'T AGREE THAT -- I MEAN, I

3058
01:54:02,769 --> 01:54:03,603
APPRECIATE THAT OPERATORS AND 

3059
01:54:03,603 --> 01:54:04,737
PROVIDERS HAVE TRAINED AND HAVE 

3060
01:54:04,737 --> 01:54:06,039
STAFF THAT ARE TRAINED IN 

3061
01:54:06,039 --> 01:54:06,606
DE-ESCALATION, BUT I WOULD 

3062
01:54:06,606 --> 01:54:08,074
SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THAT IS NOT 

3063
01:54:08,074 --> 01:54:09,709
PUBLIC SAFETY. AND I AM MORE 

3064
01:54:09,709 --> 01:54:10,743
CONCERNED ABOUT THE FOLKS THAT 

3065
01:54:10,743 --> 01:54:11,911
ARE LIVING IN THE ENCAMPMENTS 

3066
01:54:11,911 --> 01:54:19,686
THAT ARE TRYING TO STAY SOBER , 

3067
01:54:19,686 --> 01:54:21,020
TRYING TO STAY SAFE, THEN SOME 

3068
01:54:21,020 --> 01:54:22,155
OF THE PEOPLE THAT GET ATTRACTED

3069
01:54:22,155 --> 01:54:23,389
TO AND PRAY UPON TINY HOUSE 

3070
01:54:23,389 --> 01:54:24,591
VILLAGES AND THE PEOPLE THAT 

3071
01:54:24,591 --> 01:54:25,725
LIVE THERE THAT ARE JUST TRYING 

3072
01:54:25,725 --> 01:54:27,994
TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE. WE DO AND

3073
01:54:27,994 --> 01:54:32,198
WE DISCUSSED AT LENGTH THE 

3074
01:54:32,198 --> 01:54:32,765
NEIGHBOR AGREEMENTS. THE 

3075
01:54:32,765 --> 01:54:33,833
CRITICAL INCIDENT REPORTS WHEN A

3076
01:54:33,833 --> 01:54:35,401
FELONY DOES OCCUR WITHIN 24 

3077
01:54:35,401 --> 01:54:40,139
HOURS OF CALLING 911 ARE 

3078
01:54:40,139 --> 01:54:41,207
MISDEMEANORS, THAT IS ALL PART 

3079
01:54:41,207 --> 01:54:42,442
OF THE OPERATOR CONTRACTS AND 

3080
01:54:42,442 --> 01:54:43,042
IT'S NOTHING NEW, NOTHING 

3081
01:54:43,042 --> 01:54:43,610
BURDENSOME, EVERYBODY KNOWS 

3082
01:54:43,610 --> 01:54:45,078
THAT, WE'VE GONE THROUGH EVERY 

3083
01:54:45,078 --> 01:54:46,112
ONE OF THOSE CONTRACTS, AND WHAT

3084
01:54:46,112 --> 01:54:47,146
THOSE OBLIGATIONS MEAN AS A 

3085
01:54:47,146 --> 01:54:49,349
CONTRACT, NOT JUST FOR THE 

3086
01:54:49,349 --> 01:54:52,485
SAFETY OF SURROUNDING [ 

3087
01:54:52,485 --> 01:54:53,653
INAUDIBLE ], BUT FOR THE PEOPLE 

3088
01:54:53,653 --> 01:55:01,227
THAT ACTUALLY LIVE THERE. AND I 

3089
01:55:01,227 --> 01:55:09,235
GUESS MY OTHER CONCERN IS THAT 

3090
01:55:09,235 --> 01:55:10,570
WHEN WE ARE DOING SHELTER 

3091
01:55:10,570 --> 01:55:11,604
EXPANSION AND IT IS INTERIM, WE 

3092
01:55:11,604 --> 01:55:12,672
ARE GOING TO SEE MORE ACTIVITY. 

3093
01:55:12,672 --> 01:55:14,107
AND IF WE SEE MORE ACTIVITY, WE 

3094
01:55:14,107 --> 01:55:15,308
ARE GOING TO SEE GOOD ACTIVITY 

3095
01:55:15,308 --> 01:55:17,043
AND WE ARE GOING TO SEE SOME NOT

3096
01:55:17,043 --> 01:55:18,378
SO GOOD ACTIVITY, AND THAT IS MY

3097
01:55:18,378 --> 01:55:19,445
CONCERN. AND I DON'T THINK 

3098
01:55:19,445 --> 01:55:20,813
THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG ABOUT --

3099
01:55:20,813 --> 01:55:22,949
OR I AM NOT TAKING ANY TYPE OF 

3100
01:55:22,949 --> 01:55:23,950
POLITICAL PERFORMANCE HERE OF 

3101
01:55:23,950 --> 01:55:27,754
SAYING THAT I AM AGAINST TINY 

3102
01:55:27,754 --> 01:55:32,592
HOUSE VILLAGES OR I AM AGAINST 

3103
01:55:32,592 --> 01:55:35,561
TINY HOUSE VILLAGES OR PDA, I AM

3104
01:55:35,561 --> 01:55:41,234
AGAINST PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING 

3105
01:55:41,234 --> 01:55:45,772
THERE AND TRYING TO STAY SAFE, 

3106
01:55:45,772 --> 01:55:47,073
AND IN MY LIVED EXPERIENCE AND 

3107
01:55:47,073 --> 01:55:48,441
WITH MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY, THEY 

3108
01:55:48,441 --> 01:55:49,575
HAVE STRUGGLED WITH ADDICTION 

3109
01:55:49,575 --> 01:55:55,882
AND TRYING TO STAY SOBER, IT IS 

3110
01:55:55,882 --> 01:55:57,850
REALLY HARD TO BE IN AN 

3111
01:55:57,850 --> 01:55:59,218
ENVIRONMENT IF YOU ARE STILL NOT

3112
01:55:59,218 --> 01:56:00,019
SAFE AND YOU CANNOT MAINTAIN 

3113
01:56:00,019 --> 01:56:01,220
YOUR SOBRIETY OR HANDLE YOUR 

3114
01:56:01,220 --> 01:56:02,488
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. AND SO, 

3115
01:56:02,488 --> 01:56:06,793
FOR THAT REASON, I WILL BE 

3116
01:56:06,793 --> 01:56:07,660
SUPPORTING, THOUGH I AM GUESSING

3117
01:56:07,660 --> 01:56:08,861
IT PROBABLY WILL NOT PASS, BUT 

3118
01:56:08,861 --> 01:56:10,263
I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT, NOT 

3119
01:56:10,263 --> 01:56:17,203
BECAUSE I NEED TO DO ANY TYPE OF

3120
01:56:17,203 --> 01:56:18,037
POLITICAL PERFORMANCE UP HERE, 

3121
01:56:18,037 --> 01:56:28,114
BUT 

3122
01:56:28,781 --> 01:56:39,158
>> COUNCIL MEMBER RIVERA. 

3123
01:56:41,260 --> 01:56:45,898
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA ASSOCIATED, 

3124
01:56:45,898 --> 01:56:46,933
YOU'RE RIGHT. AND THE 

3125
01:56:46,933 --> 01:56:47,567
COUNCILMEMBERS IN MY DISTRICT 

3126
01:56:47,567 --> 01:56:50,870
WHO ARE HAVING SOME SERIOUSLY 

3127
01:56:50,870 --> 01:56:52,338
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES OF PUBLIC 

3128
01:56:52,338 --> 01:56:56,242
SAFETY , AND THEN PUT SECURITY 

3129
01:56:56,242 --> 01:56:59,979
IN, THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS 

3130
01:56:59,979 --> 01:57:05,518
WELL WORTH IT. IT IS BECAUSE 

3131
01:57:05,518 --> 01:57:06,919
THINGS MUCH IMPROVED FOR THEIR 

3132
01:57:06,919 --> 01:57:08,187
RESIDENCE AND THEIR STAFF. A LOT

3133
01:57:08,187 --> 01:57:11,624
OF TIMES, TO COUNCILMEMBER 

3134
01:57:11,624 --> 01:57:14,060
JUAREZ'S POINT, MEMBERS ARE 

3135
01:57:14,060 --> 01:57:18,498
LIVING IN HOUSING OR THERE ARE 

3136
01:57:18,498 --> 01:57:19,732
OTHER FOLKS TRYING TO PREY UPON 

3137
01:57:19,732 --> 01:57:24,837
PEOPLE . I WILL BE HONEST, I 

3138
01:57:24,837 --> 01:57:25,738
GREW UP IN LOW INCOME HOUSING 

3139
01:57:25,738 --> 01:57:27,373
AND WE DIDN'T HAVE SECURITY IN 

3140
01:57:27,373 --> 01:57:28,741
MY BUILDING. YOU LET YOURSELF 

3141
01:57:28,741 --> 01:57:29,609
IN. SOMETIMES SOMEONE WOULD 

3142
01:57:29,609 --> 01:57:32,211
FOLLOW IN BEHIND YOU AND PEOPLE 

3143
01:57:32,211 --> 01:57:33,479
DID GET MUGGED AND ROBBED AT 

3144
01:57:33,479 --> 01:57:36,649
KNIFE POINT IN MY BUILDING . 

3145
01:57:36,649 --> 01:57:39,719
THERE WAS NO SECURITY. PART OF 

3146
01:57:39,719 --> 01:57:42,088
ME ALSO REMEMBERS THAT FROM WHEN

3147
01:57:42,088 --> 01:57:48,161
I WAS A KID. GETTING BACK TO 

3148
01:57:48,161 --> 01:57:48,795
TODAY, WHICH IS MANY, MANY YEARS

3149
01:57:48,795 --> 01:57:56,736
LATER , I JUST KNOW FROM WORKING

3150
01:57:56,736 --> 01:57:58,337
WITH THE PROVIDERS. I'M SO 

3151
01:57:58,337 --> 01:57:59,939
GRATEFUL FOR THE PROVIDERS IN MY

3152
01:57:59,939 --> 01:58:02,608
DISTRICT BECAUSE THEY INSTITUTED

3153
01:58:02,608 --> 01:58:03,409
SECURITY AND IT HAD SUCH A 

3154
01:58:03,409 --> 01:58:04,977
POSITIVE EFFECT FOR EVERYBODY 

3155
01:58:04,977 --> 01:58:08,281
INVOLVED , AND MOST OF WHICH 

3156
01:58:08,281 --> 01:58:11,751
WHERE THE RESIDENCE. THERE IS A 

3157
01:58:11,751 --> 01:58:12,351
LOT OF ACTIVITY HAPPENING IN 

3158
01:58:12,351 --> 01:58:15,755
SOME OF THESE PLACES WHERE 

3159
01:58:15,755 --> 01:58:23,396
RESIDENTS ARE, -- SOME OF THESE 

3160
01:58:23,396 --> 01:58:25,631
RESIDENTS LEAD A GOOD LIFE. AND 

3161
01:58:25,631 --> 01:58:26,699
WE WANT TO BE SUPPORTIVE. WE 

3162
01:58:26,699 --> 01:58:29,335
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS 

3163
01:58:29,335 --> 01:58:30,903
SAFE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE. THAT IS

3164
01:58:30,903 --> 01:58:32,839
NOT A DISRESPECTFUL -- 

3165
01:58:32,839 --> 01:58:33,906
DISRESPECT TO ALL OF THE 

3166
01:58:33,906 --> 01:58:37,176
PROVIDERS . THIS IS ACTUALLY TO 

3167
01:58:37,176 --> 01:58:38,945
HELP THE SHELTERS SET UP FOR 

3168
01:58:38,945 --> 01:58:41,948
SUCCESS, TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE 

3169
01:58:41,948 --> 01:58:45,751
THAT SECURITY ELEMENT . AND 

3170
01:58:45,751 --> 01:58:46,652
IT'S DIFFERENT FROM HAVING A 

3171
01:58:46,652 --> 01:58:47,887
PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN. YOU CAN HAVE

3172
01:58:47,887 --> 01:58:49,122
A PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN. BUT WHEN 

3173
01:58:49,122 --> 01:58:50,523
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING ON THE 

3174
01:58:50,523 --> 01:58:54,694
SPOT , YOU NEED A SECURITY 

3175
01:58:54,694 --> 01:58:56,062
PERSON TO COME IN AND HELP THE 

3176
01:58:56,062 --> 01:58:57,430
SITUATION. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS

3177
01:58:57,430 --> 01:58:59,499
IS FOR. AND I WROTE IT AFTER 

3178
01:58:59,499 --> 01:59:02,502
SPEAKING WITH PROVIDERS WITH AS 

3179
01:59:02,502 --> 01:59:05,438
MUCH FLEXIBILITY AS POSSIBLE . 

3180
01:59:05,438 --> 01:59:07,406
BUT TO ACCOMPLISH THAT WE DO 

3181
01:59:07,406 --> 01:59:12,278
NEED SECURITY FOLKS THAT LIVE IN

3182
01:59:12,278 --> 01:59:13,813
TINY HOMES AND IN PERMANENT 

3183
01:59:13,813 --> 01:59:16,983
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING , AND LOW 

3184
01:59:16,983 --> 01:59:17,817
INCOME HOUSING, DESERVE TO LIVE 

3185
01:59:17,817 --> 01:59:19,051
IN SAFE SPACES. AND WHEN 

3186
01:59:19,051 --> 01:59:22,121
SOMETHING HAPPENS , THEY DESERVE

3187
01:59:22,121 --> 01:59:23,823
TO HAVE SOMEONE ON SITE WHO IS 

3188
01:59:23,823 --> 01:59:24,724
TRAINED TO HELP THEM. AND THIS 

3189
01:59:24,724 --> 01:59:27,927
IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT AT THE END

3190
01:59:27,927 --> 01:59:30,429
OF THE DAY. AND , TO THE COST 

3191
01:59:30,429 --> 01:59:32,865
ISSUE, I WILL SAY THAT WHEN I 

3192
01:59:32,865 --> 01:59:36,636
STARTED HERE THE CITY , AND WHEN

3193
01:59:36,636 --> 01:59:38,304
I SPOKE TO PROVIDERS, THE CITY 

3194
01:59:38,304 --> 01:59:45,745
WAS NOT ALLOWING CITY DAUGHTERS 

3195
01:59:45,745 --> 01:59:46,946
TO BE USED FOR SECURITY. AND 

3196
01:59:46,946 --> 01:59:49,015
WHEN WE CAME IN AND WE PASSED 

3197
01:59:49,015 --> 01:59:49,615
THE AUTHORIZING STABILIZATION 

3198
01:59:49,615 --> 01:59:52,485
FUNDS WE DID ALLOW SECURITY. IT 

3199
01:59:52,485 --> 01:59:54,053
IS NOW AN ALLOWABLE USE OF THE 

3200
01:59:54,053 --> 01:59:54,720
FUNDS. AND THAT WAS REALLY 

3201
01:59:54,720 --> 01:59:56,322
IMPORT TO ME. BECAUSE I SAW THAT

3202
01:59:56,322 --> 01:59:57,723
THE PROVIDERS REALLY NEEDED THAT

3203
01:59:57,723 --> 01:59:59,559
. BUT THEY COULDN'T AFFORD IT. 

3204
01:59:59,559 --> 02:00:01,827
SO MY HOPE IS , WHEN THE MAYOR 

3205
02:00:01,827 --> 02:00:07,366
IS INSTITUTING THESE SHELTERS 

3206
02:00:07,366 --> 02:00:08,668
AND HSD IS WORKING WITH 

3207
02:00:08,668 --> 02:00:09,902
CONTRACTS, THAT THE COST OF 

3208
02:00:09,902 --> 02:00:10,803
SECURITY IS BAKED INTO THAT 

3209
02:00:10,803 --> 02:00:16,509
CONTRACT . AND I WILL SAY THAT, 

3210
02:00:16,509 --> 02:00:18,277
IN TERMS OF WHAT IT COSTS RIGHT 

3211
02:00:18,277 --> 02:00:22,014
NOW , A MEDIAN TINY HOUSE UNIT 

3212
02:00:22,014 --> 02:00:26,285
COSTS ABOUT , FROM OUR CENTRAL 

3213
02:00:26,285 --> 02:00:28,187
STAFF TELLING US, $35,000. 

3214
02:00:28,187 --> 02:00:33,359
HAVING SECURITY ON SITE WOULD 

3215
02:00:33,359 --> 02:00:35,061
BRING THAT COST FROM $35,000 TO 

3216
02:00:35,061 --> 02:00:36,996
ABOUT $35,900. THIS IS ALL 

3217
02:00:36,996 --> 02:00:39,231
APPROXIMATE. BUT I SAY THIS TO 

3218
02:00:39,231 --> 02:00:41,667
SAY, THIS IS NOT A HUGE COST . 

3219
02:00:41,667 --> 02:00:44,604
BUT IT IS A COST THAT HAS 

3220
02:00:44,604 --> 02:00:46,038
YIELDED GREAT RESULTS TO THE 

3221
02:00:46,038 --> 02:00:47,540
PROVIDERS THAT I'VE SPOKEN WITH

3222
02:00:47,540 --> 02:00:53,346
WHO HAVE HIRED SECURITY BECAUSE 

3223
02:00:53,346 --> 02:00:54,080
THEIR RESIDENCE NEEDED IT, 

3224
02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:55,381
WANTED IT, AND THEIR STAFFING AS

3225
02:00:55,381 --> 02:00:57,516
WELL. I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR 

3226
02:00:57,516 --> 02:01:01,387
THE POINT FURTHER . BUT I AM 

3227
02:01:01,387 --> 02:01:04,924
MINDFUL OF THE COST AND I WOULD 

3228
02:01:04,924 --> 02:01:08,494
LIKE TO SEE PROVIDERS BEING ABLE

3229
02:01:08,494 --> 02:01:09,829
TO USE CITY FUNDS TOWARDS THAT 

3230
02:01:09,829 --> 02:01:10,896
PURPOSE BECAUSE IT IS TO ENSURE 

3231
02:01:10,896 --> 02:01:13,132
THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE 

3232
02:01:13,132 --> 02:01:14,367
RESIDENCE THERE, OF THE 

3233
02:01:14,367 --> 02:01:16,802
NEIGHBORS, THE NEIGHBORHOODS . 

3234
02:01:16,802 --> 02:01:22,375
AND IT'S PART OF SETTING UP 

3235
02:01:22,375 --> 02:01:27,780
SAFE HOUSING FOR EVERYONE . 

3236
02:01:27,780 --> 02:01:28,848
ANYWAY, THANK YOU, COUNCIL

>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

3283
02:02:58,537 --> 02:02:59,538
THANK YOU, COLLEAGUES. I'M 

3284
02:02:59,538 --> 02:03:00,473
BRINGING THIS AMENDMENT TO FULL 

3285
02:03:00,473 --> 02:03:01,507
COUNSEL BECAUSE THE MEMBERS OF 

3286
02:03:01,507 --> 02:03:02,241
THE LAND-USE COMMITTEE REQUESTED

3287
02:03:02,241 --> 02:03:03,442
THAT THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO 

3288
02:03:03,442 --> 02:03:04,910
REVIEW THE AMENDMENT, AS WELL AS

3289
02:03:04,910 --> 02:03:06,412
I HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO WORK 

3290
02:03:06,412 --> 02:03:07,880
WITH MANY OTHER PROVIDERS TO 

3291
02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:10,382
MAKE MANY OTHER CHANGES. I 

3292
02:03:10,382 --> 02:03:11,584
UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF THIS 

3293
02:03:11,584 --> 02:03:15,187
BILL , WE ARE MOVING AN 

3294
02:03:15,187 --> 02:03:16,722
EMERGENCY BILL THAT IS NOT USING

3295
02:03:16,722 --> 02:03:21,093
THE TRADITIONAL PROCESSES . I 

3296
02:03:21,093 --> 02:03:21,861
THINK THAT PROCESS IS CREATING 

3297
02:03:21,861 --> 02:03:23,863
CONFUSION FOR MANY PEOPLE IN THE

3298
02:03:23,863 --> 02:03:30,102
COMMUNITY. FREEMAN, I AGREE WITH

3299
02:03:30,102 --> 02:03:32,104
YOU IN ALL OF YOUR POINTS. I 

3300
02:03:32,104 --> 02:03:32,605
THINK THAT SOME OF THAT 

3301
02:03:32,605 --> 02:03:33,672
CONFUSION THAT'S OCCURRING IN 

3302
02:03:33,672 --> 02:03:34,306
THIS AMENDMENT ARE THE THINGS 

3303
02:03:34,306 --> 02:03:36,041
THAT YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT ARE 

3304
02:03:36,041 --> 02:03:38,310
NOT WITHIN THIS AMENDMENT. AND I

3305
02:03:38,310 --> 02:03:39,678
THINK THAT HAS BEEN A POINT OF 

3306
02:03:39,678 --> 02:03:47,119
CONFUSION . HAD WE HAD MORE TIME

3307
02:03:47,119 --> 02:03:49,121
WITH THIS BILL, HAD WE NOT BEEN 

3308
02:03:49,121 --> 02:03:49,755
RUSHED WITH THIS BILL, WE WOULD 

3309
02:03:49,755 --> 02:03:50,790
HAVE MORE TIME TO FIND THAT 

3310
02:03:50,790 --> 02:03:51,991
COMMON GROUND AND THE COMMON 

3311
02:03:51,991 --> 02:03:52,792
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS AND 

3312
02:03:52,792 --> 02:03:54,527
WHAT IS NOT. I ALSO HEARD FROM 

3313
02:03:54,527 --> 02:03:55,427
GREATER CHURCH COUNSEL ABOUT 

3314
02:03:55,427 --> 02:03:56,095
SOME ISSUES THAT YOU ARE 

3315
02:03:56,095 --> 02:03:57,163
CONCERNED WITH IN THIS 

3316
02:03:57,163 --> 02:03:58,731
AMENDMENT. WHEN YOU READ THE 

3317
02:03:58,731 --> 02:04:00,299
LAND-USE TEXT OF THIS AMENDMENT,

3318
02:04:00,299 --> 02:04:02,101
THOSE CONCERNS DON'T EXIST. AND

3319
02:04:02,101 --> 02:04:04,203
I WAS REALLY CAREFUL TO CRAFT 

3320
02:04:04,203 --> 02:04:07,840
THESE WORDS IN A WAY THAT WE ARE

3321
02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:09,975
NOT BEING OVERLY PRESCRIPTIVE. I

3322
02:04:09,975 --> 02:04:11,076
HAVE THREE VERSIONS OF THIS 

3323
02:04:11,076 --> 02:04:13,445
AMENDMENT THAT ARE ALL MORE 

3324
02:04:13,445 --> 02:04:14,680
SPECIFIC, WHICH CAN BECOME MORE 

3325
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:23,189
DIFFICULT TO ATTEND TO AND I DID

3326
02:04:23,189 --> 02:04:24,824
NOT BRING THEM BECAUSE I WANT TO

3327
02:04:24,824 --> 02:04:25,925
MAKE SURE THAT, IN THIS MOMENT, 

3328
02:04:25,925 --> 02:04:27,059
IF WE ARE HAVING CONFUSION WE 

3329
02:04:27,059 --> 02:04:28,294
ARE ALSO HAVING THE MAXIMUM 

3330
02:04:28,294 --> 02:04:31,030
FLEXIBILITY. I'M BRINGING THIS 

3331
02:04:31,030 --> 02:04:31,564
AMENDMENT BECAUSE IT IS 

3332
02:04:31,564 --> 02:04:32,665
IMPORTANT TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE 

3333
02:04:32,665 --> 02:04:34,166
HOUSED ON SITES THAT CAN FIT 

3334
02:04:34,166 --> 02:04:37,236
MORE PEOPLE. BUT WHAT WE ARE 

3335
02:04:37,236 --> 02:04:38,838
DOING RIGHT NOW IS WE ARE NOW 

3336
02:04:38,838 --> 02:04:44,877
MOVING INTO A SIZE OF SHELTER 

3337
02:04:44,877 --> 02:04:46,111
THAT WE HAVE NOT UTILIZED 

3338
02:04:46,111 --> 02:04:51,016
BEFORE. WHAT I'M CONCERNED WITH

3339
02:04:51,016 --> 02:04:53,686
IS WHEN WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE IN 

3340
02:04:53,686 --> 02:05:01,694
ONE PLACE THAT WE HAVE TO ENSURE

3341
02:05:01,694 --> 02:05:02,428
THAT THEY HAVE INCREASED 

3342
02:05:02,428 --> 02:05:03,229
PRIVACY, THEY HAVE INCREASED 

3343
02:05:03,229 --> 02:05:04,430
ACCESS TO KITCHENS, LAUNDRY, 

3344
02:05:04,430 --> 02:05:05,998
SHOWERS, TOILETS . BEFORE THE 

3345
02:05:05,998 --> 02:05:07,032
PANDEMIC, WE RELIED ON 

3346
02:05:07,032 --> 02:05:08,100
CONGREGANT SHELTER EXTENSIVELY 

3347
02:05:08,100 --> 02:05:13,072
IN THE CITY . WITHOUT KITCHENS, 

3348
02:05:13,072 --> 02:05:16,742
WITHOUT LAUNDRY , DO HAVE 

3349
02:05:16,742 --> 02:05:18,577
RESTROOMS, SOME HAVE SHOWERS, 

3350
02:05:18,577 --> 02:05:21,013
SOME DON'T. IF THERE WAS ONE 

3351
02:05:21,013 --> 02:05:21,714
INDIVIDUAL IN THAT ROOM WITH 

3352
02:05:21,714 --> 02:05:23,215
MATS ON THE FLOOR THERE WAS ONE 

3353
02:05:23,215 --> 02:05:24,984
PERSON IN THERE THAT WAS 

3354
02:05:24,984 --> 02:05:27,052
PREDATORY IN NATURE . NO ONE GOT

3355
02:05:27,052 --> 02:05:29,388
A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP. PEOPLE WERE

3356
02:05:29,388 --> 02:05:30,689
NOT SAFE, PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE 

3357
02:05:30,689 --> 02:05:35,961
PRIVACY. THAT IS WHY TINY HOMES 

3358
02:05:35,961 --> 02:05:37,997
AND THE TYPE OF SHELTER LIKE 

3359
02:05:37,997 --> 02:05:39,231
TINY HOMES IS BETTER BECAUSE 

3360
02:05:39,231 --> 02:05:40,533
PEOPLE HAVE FOUR WALLS AND A 

3361
02:05:40,533 --> 02:05:43,469
DOOR THAT THEY CAN WALK TO 

3362
02:05:43,469 --> 02:05:44,570
REMOVE THEMSELVES FROM SOMEBODY 

3363
02:05:44,570 --> 02:05:52,177
ELSE'S BEHAVIOR SO THEY CAN 

3364
02:05:52,177 --> 02:05:53,512
FIND SOLACE AND PRIVACY IN THEIR

3365
02:05:53,512 --> 02:05:54,546
OWN SPACE. YET, STILL, THESE 

3366
02:05:54,546 --> 02:05:55,681
TINY HOMES DO NOT HAVE SHOWERS. 

3367
02:05:55,681 --> 02:05:56,515
HAVE KITCHENS. THEY HAVE 

3368
02:05:56,515 --> 02:05:58,083
BATHROOMS. THEY DON'T HAVE THE 

3369
02:05:58,083 --> 02:06:00,619
AMENITIES THAT PEOPLE NEED TO 

3370
02:06:00,619 --> 02:06:01,620
LIVE THERE FULL LIFE, TO 

3371
02:06:01,620 --> 02:06:02,755
STABILIZE AND THRIVE. WHAT 

3372
02:06:02,755 --> 02:06:06,592
CONCERNS ME , WHEN WE INCREASE 

3373
02:06:06,592 --> 02:06:09,094
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING 

3374
02:06:09,094 --> 02:06:10,963
SHELTERED IN ONE PLACE WITHOUT 

3375
02:06:10,963 --> 02:06:19,772
INCREASING THE DISPERSED ACCESS 

3376
02:06:19,772 --> 02:06:21,473
. THAT MEANS WE ARE NOT PUTTING 

3377
02:06:21,473 --> 02:06:22,641
ALL OF THE KITCHEN SPACE IN ONE 

3378
02:06:22,641 --> 02:06:23,842
PLACE. WE ARE NOT PUTTING ALL 

3379
02:06:23,842 --> 02:06:25,277
THE TOILETS. WE ARE NOT GOING TO

3380
02:06:25,277 --> 02:06:26,512
A CONCERT AND HAVING ALL THE 

3381
02:06:26,512 --> 02:06:27,513
PORT-A-POTTIES IN ONE PART OF 

3382
02:06:27,513 --> 02:06:29,081
THE ARENA. WE NEED THESE PLACES,

3383
02:06:29,081 --> 02:06:31,817
THESE SHELTERS, TO FEEL AND SET 

3384
02:06:31,817 --> 02:06:33,485
SOMEBODY UP AS IF IT WAS THEIR 

3385
02:06:33,485 --> 02:06:36,689
OWN HOME. AND WHAT I'M CONCERNED

3386
02:06:36,689 --> 02:06:40,626
ABOUT , WITH THE DIALOGUE THAT 

3387
02:06:40,626 --> 02:06:48,100
WE'VE HEARD, IS THERE IS A 

3388
02:06:48,100 --> 02:06:48,968
POTENTIAL THAT WE WILL BE 

3389
02:06:48,968 --> 02:06:49,969
WAREHOUSING PEOPLE. I HAVE NO 

3390
02:06:49,969 --> 02:06:50,869
INTEREST IN WAREHOUSING PEOPLE. 

3391
02:06:50,869 --> 02:06:52,438
THAT'S WHAT WE WERE DOING WITH 

3392
02:06:52,438 --> 02:06:53,872
CONGREGANT SHELTER. IN THE LAST 

3393
02:06:53,872 --> 02:06:54,773
DECADE THERE WERE PROPOSALS 

3394
02:06:54,773 --> 02:06:57,042
BROUGHT TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO 

3395
02:06:57,042 --> 02:07:00,479
PUT A BIG , WHITE TENT AND DOWN 

3396
02:07:00,479 --> 02:07:02,481
THE FACILITIES AND SEVERING -- 

3397
02:07:02,481 --> 02:07:03,482
EVERYONE WHO'S ALMOST THERE. I 

3398
02:07:03,482 --> 02:07:04,717
STOOD AGAINST THE PROPOSAL 

3399
02:07:04,717 --> 02:07:07,786
BECAUSE THAT'S -- WITH PEOPLE 

3400
02:07:07,786 --> 02:07:09,154
IN THE SAME WAY I'M CONCERNED 

3401
02:07:09,154 --> 02:07:11,056
THAT THIS BILL, WITHOUT PROPER 

3402
02:07:11,056 --> 02:07:11,590
GUARDRAILS WILL WAREHOUSE 

3403
02:07:11,590 --> 02:07:14,627
PEOPLE. WHEN RUDY GIULIANI SENT 

3404
02:07:14,627 --> 02:07:15,794
MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE TO ONE 

3405
02:07:15,794 --> 02:07:18,797
PLACE UPSTATE THAT WAS 

3406
02:07:18,797 --> 02:07:19,598
WAREHOUSING PEOPLE, THAT WASN'T

3407
02:07:19,598 --> 02:07:20,766
STABILIZING. IT WASN'T HELPING 

3408
02:07:20,766 --> 02:07:22,868
THEM THRIVE. I'M CONCERNED, 

3409
02:07:22,868 --> 02:07:23,969
WITHOUT THE PROPER GUARDRAILS TO

3410
02:07:23,969 --> 02:07:25,170
THIS BILL, AND THE FUTURE 

3411
02:07:25,170 --> 02:07:30,476
PERMANENT BILL , THAT WE ARE 

3412
02:07:30,476 --> 02:07:31,276
GOING TO BE WAREHOUSING PEOPLE 

3413
02:07:31,276 --> 02:07:35,848
BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ENSURING THAT

3414
02:07:35,848 --> 02:07:37,349
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN, 

3415
02:07:37,349 --> 02:07:38,050
INDIVIDUALIZED ACCESS TO 

3416
02:07:38,050 --> 02:07:38,784
RESOURCES AND AMENITIES THAT 

3417
02:07:38,784 --> 02:07:40,119
THEY NEED TO STABILIZE SO THEY 

3418
02:07:40,119 --> 02:07:41,286
CAN ACTUALIZE INTO HAVING A 

3419
02:07:41,286 --> 02:07:46,658
BETTER LIFE. BY INCREASING THE 

3420
02:07:46,658 --> 02:07:47,960
NUMBER OF PEOPLE, BUT NOT THE 

3421
02:07:47,960 --> 02:07:52,965
AMENITIES , THERE IS HIGH 

3422
02:07:52,965 --> 02:07:53,732
POTENTIALITY FOR US TO BE DOING 

3423
02:07:53,732 --> 02:07:55,000
THEM A DISSERVICE. SO THIS IS 

3424
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:56,502
THE MOST FLEXIBLE VERSION OF 

3425
02:07:56,502 --> 02:07:58,570
MAYBE EVEN FOUR, MAYBE THREE 

3426
02:07:58,570 --> 02:08:00,506
AFTER THIS AMENDMENT , WE WOULD 

3427
02:08:00,506 --> 02:08:01,774
GREATLY LOVE YOUR SUPPORT ON 

3428
02:08:01,774 --> 02:08:05,411
THIS AMENDMENT. 

3429
02:08:05,411 --> 02:08:06,211
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

3430
02:08:06,211 --> 02:08:07,546
STRAUSS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER 

3431
02:08:07,546 --> 02:08:08,480
COMMENTS REGARDING AMENDMENT C 

3432
02:08:08,480 --> 02:08:16,622
TO COUNSEL BILL 121195? COUNCIL 

3433
02:08:16,622 --> 02:08:16,989
MEMBER FOSTER? 

3434
02:08:16,989 --> 02:08:18,023
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL 

3435
02:08:18,023 --> 02:08:19,458
PRESIDENT AND THANK YOU, COUNCIL

3436
02:08:19,458 --> 02:08:21,226
MEMBER STRAUSS. WE ARE ON 

3437
02:08:21,226 --> 02:08:22,728
VERSION 4. I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE

3438
02:08:22,728 --> 02:08:25,364
LIKE FIVE OR SIX OF THIS. I 

3439
02:08:25,364 --> 02:08:31,837
REALLY WANT TO APPRECIATE YOU. I

3440
02:08:31,837 --> 02:08:33,806
WILL BACK UP LITTLE BIT AND SAY,

3441
02:08:33,806 --> 02:08:34,440
WHEN THIS LEGISLATION WAS FIRST 

3442
02:08:34,440 --> 02:08:35,808
SAT DOWN, SOME OF MY INITIAL 

3443
02:08:35,808 --> 02:08:36,975
QUESTIONS WERE NOT SO MUCH 

3444
02:08:36,975 --> 02:08:38,310
AROUND RAISING THE CENSUS FROM 

3445
02:08:38,310 --> 02:08:39,645
100 TO 150 , BUT QUESTIONS LIKE,

3446
02:08:39,645 --> 02:08:41,146
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO DO THIS 

3447
02:08:41,146 --> 02:08:43,515
WELL ? IN PARTICULAR, FOR 

3448
02:08:43,515 --> 02:08:44,516
LOCATION WHERE WE MIGHT BE 

3449
02:08:44,516 --> 02:08:48,620
SERVING UP TO 250 PEOPLE. AS YOU

3450
02:08:48,620 --> 02:08:50,122
CAN TELL, BY SOME MY PREVIOUS 

3451
02:08:50,122 --> 02:08:51,990
COMMENTS AROUND THE WORK THAT WE

3452
02:08:51,990 --> 02:08:53,692
DID AROUND THE PUBLIC SAFETY 

3453
02:08:53,692 --> 02:08:55,260
PLANS AND THE STAFFING, IT'S MY

3454
02:08:55,260 --> 02:08:58,730
PREFERRED APPROACH , AS WE ARE 

3455
02:08:58,730 --> 02:08:59,798
THINKING ABOUT HOW WE DO THIS 

3456
02:08:59,798 --> 02:09:01,633
WELL, TO THINK ABOUT IT FROM A 

3457
02:09:01,633 --> 02:09:03,035
DESIGN PERSPECTIVE. WHAT DOES IT

3458
02:09:03,035 --> 02:09:04,036
LOOK LIKE TO CREATE 

3459
02:09:04,036 --> 02:09:07,339
NEIGHBORHOODS SO THAT THOSE 

3460
02:09:07,339 --> 02:09:08,140
NEIGHBORHOODS GREAT SAFETY? SO 

3461
02:09:08,140 --> 02:09:09,341
THAT THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS CREEK 

3462
02:09:09,341 --> 02:09:10,375
COMMUNITY, AS OPPOSED TO A 

3463
02:09:10,375 --> 02:09:13,679
DIFFERENT APPROACH. WE HEARD 

3464
02:09:13,679 --> 02:09:17,783
FROM PROVIDERS AND COMMITTEE 

3465
02:09:17,783 --> 02:09:20,853
AROUND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD CONCEPT

3466
02:09:20,853 --> 02:09:21,854
. WE HEARD FROM FOLKS NOT JUST 

3467
02:09:21,854 --> 02:09:23,188
HERE IN SEATTLE, BUT WE HEARD 

3468
02:09:23,188 --> 02:09:24,723
FROM SOME OF THE FOLKS WHO ARE 

3469
02:09:24,723 --> 02:09:26,992
OPERATING LARGER SHELTER 

3470
02:09:26,992 --> 02:09:29,228
COMMUNITIES IN OTHER LOCATIONS. 

3471
02:09:29,228 --> 02:09:31,730
FOR ME, THIS IS WHEN I REALLY 

3472
02:09:31,730 --> 02:09:34,032
STRUGGLED WITH. WHAT DOES IT 

3473
02:09:34,032 --> 02:09:36,568
LOOK LIKE TO GET THIS RIGHT? I 

3474
02:09:36,568 --> 02:09:38,070
WILL TELL YOU, THE PROVISION IN 

3475
02:09:38,070 --> 02:09:39,171
THIS AMENDMENT THAT ALLOWS FOR 

3476
02:09:39,171 --> 02:09:44,476
THE SDC I DIRECTOR TO GO UP TO 

3477
02:09:44,476 --> 02:09:47,079
75 IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. I 

3478
02:09:47,079 --> 02:09:48,013
BELIEVE IT'S A PROVISION THAT 

3479
02:09:48,013 --> 02:09:49,381
SHOULD BE USED LIBERALLY AND THE

3480
02:09:49,381 --> 02:09:50,449
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS, SHOULD 

3481
02:09:50,449 --> 02:09:52,851
THIS AMENDMENT PASSED . THAT 

3482
02:09:52,851 --> 02:09:54,019
ALLOWS US TO HAVE MULTIPLE 

3483
02:09:54,019 --> 02:09:54,820
COMMUNITIES WHILE STILL 

3484
02:09:54,820 --> 02:09:55,854
PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY TO 

3485
02:09:55,854 --> 02:10:01,460
PROVIDERS. I WANT TO THANK THOSE

3486
02:10:01,460 --> 02:10:03,262
FOLKS WERE HERE FOR THAT WORK. 

3487
02:10:03,262 --> 02:10:06,598
THAT ENGAGEMENT TO CREATE THOSE 

3488
02:10:06,598 --> 02:10:08,200
IMPROVEMENT. FOR THOSE REASONS, 

3489
02:10:08,200 --> 02:10:09,735
I WILL BE VOTING YES ON THIS 

3490
02:10:09,735 --> 02:10:11,637
AMENDMENT. 

3491
02:10:11,637 --> 02:10:12,638
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

3492
02:10:12,638 --> 02:10:14,840
FOSTER. ARE THERE OTHER COMMENTS

3493
02:10:14,840 --> 02:10:17,976
REGARDING AMENDMENT C THAT IS 

3494
02:10:17,976 --> 02:10:22,548
BEFORE US? COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA?

3495
02:10:22,681 --> 02:10:24,349
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

3496
02:10:24,349 --> 02:10:33,125
I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND , AS 

3497
02:10:33,125 --> 02:10:33,926
COUNSELOR NUMBER SAKA SAID 

3498
02:10:33,926 --> 02:10:35,394
EARLIER, THE COST IMPLICATIONS 

3499
02:10:35,394 --> 02:10:36,428
FOR DIVIDING . I'M NOT REALLY 

3500
02:10:36,428 --> 02:10:41,333
SURE WHAT IT MEANS TO DIVIDE. 

3501
02:10:41,333 --> 02:10:42,901
FOR THE 150% SHELTER YOU ARE 

3502
02:10:42,901 --> 02:10:45,037
GOING TO HAVE EXTRA AMENITIES 

3503
02:10:45,037 --> 02:10:46,138
THERE? IS IT MORE ABOUT 

3504
02:10:46,138 --> 02:10:49,341
AMENITIES? I JUST DON'T 

3505
02:10:49,341 --> 02:10:49,841
UNDERSTAND ABOUT THESE 

3506
02:10:49,841 --> 02:10:52,110
NEIGHBORHOODS. IS IT GOING TO BE

3507
02:10:52,110 --> 02:10:53,745
ENCLOSE SEPARATELY? 

3508
02:10:53,745 --> 02:10:57,082
>> COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS ? 

3509
02:10:57,082 --> 02:11:01,420
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

3510
02:11:01,420 --> 02:11:03,388
I WILL RESPOND TO THE QUESTION 

3511
02:11:03,388 --> 02:11:05,224
HERE. I'M GOING TO READ FROM 

3512
02:11:05,224 --> 02:11:06,625
THE TEXT BECAUSE THE OTHER 

3513
02:11:06,625 --> 02:11:09,928
VERSIONS OF THIS CLEARLY 

3514
02:11:09,928 --> 02:11:11,697
REQUIRED A RATIO OF AMENITIES TO

3515
02:11:11,697 --> 02:11:17,002
UNITS . IF I WAS TO PUT A CODE, 

3516
02:11:17,002 --> 02:11:20,672
A RATIO OF AMENITIES TO UNITS 

3517
02:11:20,672 --> 02:11:22,407
THAT IT IS REQUIRED AT A CERTAIN

3518
02:11:22,407 --> 02:11:25,310
RATE. WITH THE CONTROLLED ACCESS

3519
02:11:25,310 --> 02:11:29,214
, I HAD TO GO BACK AND FORTH. I 

3520
02:11:29,214 --> 02:11:31,717
WASN'T HERE WHEN CATALAN 

3521
02:11:31,717 --> 02:11:36,822
PRINTED -- PRESENTED IT THE 

3522
02:11:36,822 --> 02:11:37,856
FIRST TIME. I WAS THINKING 

3523
02:11:37,856 --> 02:11:38,924
FLOWER BOXES. EITHER WAY, WHEN 

3524
02:11:38,924 --> 02:11:42,027
WE TALK ABOUT CONTROL ACCESS , 

3525
02:11:42,027 --> 02:11:43,695
THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE CREATING A

3526
02:11:43,695 --> 02:11:47,065
NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE PEOPLE HAVE 

3527
02:11:47,065 --> 02:11:48,867
TO ENTER AND EXIT THROUGH ONE 

3528
02:11:48,867 --> 02:11:53,572
ENTRYWAY. CONTROL CAN BE AS 

3529
02:11:53,572 --> 02:11:54,806
SIMPLE AS A SIGN TO SAY, 

3530
02:11:54,806 --> 02:11:55,674
VISITING HOURS ARE FROM 9:00 

3531
02:11:55,674 --> 02:11:57,109
A.M. TO 9:00 P.M. CONTROL CAN A 

3532
02:11:57,109 --> 02:11:58,243
RESIDENT ADVISOR FROM SOMEBODY 

3533
02:11:58,243 --> 02:12:02,381
WHO MAYBE GETS AN EXTRA PERK 

3534
02:12:02,381 --> 02:12:04,583
WITHIN THE COMMUNITY FOR BEING A

3535
02:12:04,583 --> 02:12:07,686
RESIDENT ADVISOR. CONTROL COULD 

3536
02:12:07,686 --> 02:12:09,154
BE A STAFF MEMBER SITTING THERE.

3537
02:12:09,154 --> 02:12:10,922
CONTROL CAN BE MANY DIFFERENT 

3538
02:12:10,922 --> 02:12:13,992
THINGS . WHEN WE TALK ABOUT 

3539
02:12:13,992 --> 02:12:18,030
SELF-CONTAINED , THAT'S STILL 

3540
02:12:18,030 --> 02:12:19,064
PRETTY BROAD. STILL PRETTY 

3541
02:12:19,064 --> 02:12:22,768
VAGUE. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT 

3542
02:12:22,768 --> 02:12:24,002
THERE ARE AMENITIES THAT PEOPLE 

3543
02:12:24,002 --> 02:12:27,639
CAN ACCESS . THERE'S NO 

3544
02:12:27,639 --> 02:12:28,940
QUALIFICATION ON RATIO. THERE'S

3545
02:12:28,940 --> 02:12:32,144
A QUALIFICATION ON WHERE THOSE 

3546
02:12:32,144 --> 02:12:32,811
AMENITIES ARE PLACED. THERE'S 

3547
02:12:32,811 --> 02:12:34,980
NO QUALIFICATION IN THAT WAY. 

3548
02:12:34,980 --> 02:12:36,515
BUT IT IS SAYING THAT WE NEED TO

3549
02:12:36,515 --> 02:12:39,885
ACKNOWLEDGE , MY ALMOST 

3550
02:12:39,885 --> 02:12:42,287
DOUBLING, AT LEAST 1.5 TIMES 

3551
02:12:42,287 --> 02:12:47,726
WHAT WE HAVE DONE BEFORE . WE 

3552
02:12:47,726 --> 02:12:49,127
NEED TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE 

3553
02:12:49,127 --> 02:12:50,195
PEOPLE. WE NEED TO BE BUILDING 

3554
02:12:50,195 --> 02:12:51,496
AND DESIGNING THESE SHELTERS IN 

3555
02:12:51,496 --> 02:12:54,199
A WAY WHICH DOES INCREASE 

3556
02:12:54,199 --> 02:12:57,035
PEOPLE'S CONNECTIVITY TO THEIR 

3557
02:12:57,035 --> 02:13:02,074
NEIGHBORHOOD WITHIN THE SHELTER.

3558
02:13:02,074 --> 02:13:04,076
IT INCREASES THEIR ABILITY TO 

3559
02:13:04,076 --> 02:13:05,444
PRIVACY AND GET AWAY FROM OTHER 

3560
02:13:05,444 --> 02:13:06,211
PEOPLE. IT INCREASES THEIR 

3561
02:13:06,211 --> 02:13:13,785
ABILITY TO HAVE SPACE. THAT IS, 

3562
02:13:13,785 --> 02:13:15,954
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. AS YOU CAN 

3563
02:13:15,954 --> 02:13:17,989
SEE, THIS LANGUAGE THAT IS BEING

3564
02:13:17,989 --> 02:13:21,026
PUT INTO CODE IS VERY FLEXIBLE 

3565
02:13:21,026 --> 02:13:25,163
IN COMPARISON TO HOW 

3566
02:13:25,163 --> 02:13:26,098
PRESCRIPTIVE WE COULD BE. 

3567
02:13:26,098 --> 02:13:27,265
BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE THINGS I 

3568
02:13:27,265 --> 02:13:30,569
JUST SAID COULD BE PUT INTO CODE

3569
02:13:30,569 --> 02:13:32,070
. AND I THINK THAT THEY COULD BE

3570
02:13:32,070 --> 02:13:33,705
MET WITH THE PROPER FUNDING. BUT

3571
02:13:33,705 --> 02:13:36,975
WITHOUT MORE TIME TO WORK ON 

3572
02:13:36,975 --> 02:13:38,677
THIS LEGISLATION AND COME TO A 

3573
02:13:38,677 --> 02:13:40,245
BETTER PLACE OF CONSENSUS WITHIN

3574
02:13:40,245 --> 02:13:41,446
THE COMMUNITY, THERE'S STILL 

3575
02:13:41,446 --> 02:13:44,750
ENOUGH CONCERN THAT I THINK THE 

3576
02:13:44,750 --> 02:13:47,786
MOST FLEXIBLE VERSION IS THE 

3577
02:13:47,786 --> 02:13:51,123
CURRENTLY FORWARD TODAY. 

3578
02:13:51,123 --> 02:13:52,324

COST? IF IT'S ABOUT AMENITIES .

02:14:03,735 --> 02:14:06,438
DID YOU COST THIS OUT? I'M JUST

3583
02:14:06,438 --> 02:14:13,678
CURIOUS. 

3584
02:14:13,678 --> 02:14:15,514
>> THERE'S NO COMMENT ABOUT 

3585
02:14:15,514 --> 02:14:17,082
AMENITIES IN THIS AMENDMENT. 

3586
02:14:17,082 --> 02:14:18,517

MEETING IN BATHROOMS AND THE 

3588
02:14:23,555 --> 02:14:24,556
LIKE AND SEPARATING OUT SO WE 

3589
02:14:24,556 --> 02:14:25,323
COULD HAVE EXTRA. 

3590
02:14:25,323 --> 02:14:27,259
>> WE SHOULD DO THAT. WE SHOULD 

3591
02:14:27,259 --> 02:14:29,661
DO THAT, ABSOLUTELY. IT IS NOT 

3592
02:14:29,661 --> 02:14:37,869
CODIFIED IN THIS AMENDMENT. 

3593
02:14:37,869 --> 02:14:38,136

WITH 150 PEOPLE. APOLOGIES. I 

3604
02:15:08,066 --> 02:15:09,901
GUESS I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT. 

3605
02:15:09,901 --> 02:15:12,204

GOOD NEIGHBOR AGREEMENTS AND THE

3618

LIKE. I WOULD SAY, GOOD NEIGHBOR

3619
02:15:39,297 --> 02:15:40,031
AGREEMENTS, WAS THERE AN 

3620
02:15:40,031 --> 02:15:41,266
ORDINANCE THEY BECOME LAW. THE 

3621
02:15:41,266 --> 02:15:41,933
DEPARTMENTS DO NEED TO FOLLOW 

3622
02:15:41,933 --> 02:15:43,401
THE LAW AND THEY DO NEED TO HAVE

3623
02:15:43,401 --> 02:15:44,569
AGREEMENTS. I WOULD ADD, WE, AS 

3624
02:15:44,569 --> 02:15:45,971
A DEPARTMENT, OR WORKING ON THE 

3625
02:15:45,971 --> 02:15:51,109
FOLLOW-UP. NEXT GENERATION, IF

YOU WILL. GOOD NEIGHBOR 

3627
02:15:51,943 --> 02:15:52,744
AGREEMENT, WHICH IS THE 

3628
02:15:52,744 --> 02:15:53,378
NEIGHBORHOOD AGREEMENT AND 

3629
02:15:53,378 --> 02:15:54,546
MITIGATION PLAN. IT'S GOING TO 

3630
02:15:54,546 --> 02:15:55,814
BE DIFFERENT. IMPROVE UPON THE 

3631
02:15:55,814 --> 02:15:56,548
HISTORY OF GOOD NEIGHBOR 

3632
02:15:56,548 --> 02:15:57,482
AGREEMENTS. IT'S A TWO-STEP 

3633
02:15:57,482 --> 02:16:00,418
PROCESS . WE ARE IN STEP ONE 

3634
02:16:00,418 --> 02:16:02,320
RIGHT NOW IN TERMS OF DEVELOPING

3635
02:16:02,320 --> 02:16:05,257
REVIEW AND REPORT. I ALSO WANTED

3636
02:16:05,257 --> 02:16:07,058
TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ 

3637
02:16:07,058 --> 02:16:10,061
FOR TALKING ABOUT SOBER LIVING .

3638
02:16:10,061 --> 02:16:20,605
AS YOU KNOW, HOUSING FIRST IS A 

3639
02:16:23,808 --> 02:16:24,743
LOW BARRIER APPROACH. I WOULD 

3640
02:16:24,743 --> 02:16:25,343
SAY, HOUSING FIRST, YES. IF 

3641
02:16:25,343 --> 02:16:26,244
IT'S A PHOTO FINISH WITH 

3642
02:16:26,244 --> 02:16:27,245
WRAPAROUND SERVICES. WE DO NEED 

3643
02:16:27,245 --> 02:16:28,046
TO HAVE THOSE WRAPAROUND 

3644
02:16:28,046 --> 02:16:29,381
SERVICES. CAN WE SHOULD BE 

3645
02:16:29,381 --> 02:16:29,981
ENCOURAGING THOSE WRAPAROUND 

3646
02:16:29,981 --> 02:16:30,882
SERVICES. ENCOURAGING THE 

3647
02:16:30,882 --> 02:16:31,449
DECISION TOWARDS TREATMENT, 

3648
02:16:31,449 --> 02:16:32,751
KNOWING THERE CAN BE MANY ROUNDS

3649
02:16:32,751 --> 02:16:34,219
OF TREATMENT BEFORE ANY TYPE OF 

3650
02:16:34,219 --> 02:16:37,189
SUCCESS. ALSO , ON SOBER LIVING,

3651
02:16:37,189 --> 02:16:40,191
AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS I 

3652
02:16:40,191 --> 02:16:41,526
THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME 

3653
02:16:41,526 --> 02:16:42,694
DEDICATED SOBER LIVING OPTIONS 

3654
02:16:42,694 --> 02:16:43,662
FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE SEEKING 

3655
02:16:43,662 --> 02:16:48,366
THAT. AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE NOT 

3656
02:16:48,366 --> 02:16:50,835
LIVING IN A PERFECT WORLD . SOME

3657
02:16:50,835 --> 02:16:52,170
OF THESE LOCATIONS WILL PROBABLY

3658
02:16:52,170 --> 02:16:53,805
NOT BE CONDUCIVE SOMETIMES TO 

3659
02:16:53,805 --> 02:16:58,143
THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE 

3660
02:16:58,143 --> 02:17:06,084
WANTING A SOBER LIVING OPTION. 

3661
02:17:06,084 --> 02:17:06,718
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, BRINGING 

3662
02:17:06,718 --> 02:17:08,386
UP THE TERMS AND THE NEIGHBOR 

3663
02:17:08,386 --> 02:17:09,020
AGREEMENTS. ON THIS AMENDMENT I 

3664
02:17:09,020 --> 02:17:11,456
APPRECIATE WHAT WAS GOING ON 

3665
02:17:11,456 --> 02:17:14,426
HERE. IN TERMS OF MY EXPERIENCE,

3666
02:17:14,426 --> 02:17:17,662
IN TERMS OF SHELTERS AND WHAT 

3667
02:17:17,662 --> 02:17:24,302
I'VE HAD IN THIS GENERAL AREA ,

3668
02:17:24,302 --> 02:17:25,770
AND I THINK THE SERVICE 

3669
02:17:25,770 --> 02:17:26,671
PROVIDERS ARE GOING TO BE GOING 

3670
02:17:26,671 --> 02:17:28,740
INTO THIS KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD 

3671
02:17:28,740 --> 02:17:30,775
SECTIONS IF YOU WILL. THE HANGUP

3672
02:17:30,775 --> 02:17:31,376
IS THE SELF-CONTAINED PART 

3673
02:17:31,376 --> 02:17:32,877
BECAUSE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN 

3674
02:17:32,877 --> 02:17:37,515
THE SENSE WE HAVE 

3675
02:17:37,515 --> 02:17:38,850
SELF-CONTAINED, MAYBE A CERTAIN 

3676
02:17:38,850 --> 02:17:39,918
ASPECT OF THE SERVICES OR 

3677
02:17:39,918 --> 02:17:42,721
AMENITIES . IF YOU HAVE THREE OR

3678
02:17:42,721 --> 02:17:44,656
FOUR DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS , 

3679
02:17:44,656 --> 02:17:46,091
BECAUSE OF GEOGRAPHY, SHAPES AND

3680
02:17:46,091 --> 02:17:47,225
EVERYTHING YOU CAN NECESSARILY 

3681
02:17:47,225 --> 02:17:50,962
FIT EACH OF THOSE PIECES IN, 

3682
02:17:50,962 --> 02:17:52,364
WHATEVER IT MAY BE. I'M A 

3683
02:17:52,364 --> 02:17:55,166
LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE 

3684
02:17:55,166 --> 02:18:00,038
LANGUAGE IN THE SENSE OF 

3685
02:18:00,038 --> 02:18:01,906
ENFORCING THE AMENITY TO BE 

3686
02:18:01,906 --> 02:18:03,608
RECKONED -- REPLICATED WHERE IT 

3687
02:18:03,608 --> 02:18:07,779
MAY MAKE SENSE FOR CERTAIN 

3688
02:18:07,779 --> 02:18:08,813
AMENITY OR SERVICE, WHATEVER IT 

3689
02:18:08,813 --> 02:18:11,082
MAY BE, TO BE IN ONE LOCATION , 

3690
02:18:11,082 --> 02:18:12,050
MAY BE INDEPENDENT OF THE 

3691
02:18:12,050 --> 02:18:13,218
NEIGHBORHOODS, OR MAYBE ONE 

3692
02:18:13,218 --> 02:18:15,854
VERSUS THE OTHERS. WITH THAT 

3693
02:18:15,854 --> 02:18:20,392
REASON , I APPRECIATE WHAT'S 

3694
02:18:20,392 --> 02:18:21,693
HAPPENING HERE. BUT I HUNG UP ON

3695
02:18:21,693 --> 02:18:22,861
THE SELF-CONTAINED NEIGHBORHOODS

3696
02:18:22,861 --> 02:18:26,698
BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF A 

3697
02:18:26,698 --> 02:18:29,300
COMBINATION OF THE HOUSING PLUS 

3698
02:18:29,300 --> 02:18:30,068
THE SERVICES, THE WRAPAROUND 

3699
02:18:30,068 --> 02:18:30,902
SERVICES THAT MAKES IT 

3700
02:18:30,902 --> 02:18:36,308
DIFFICULT. OTHERWISE, I 

3701
02:18:36,308 --> 02:18:37,509
ENCOURAGE THE SERVICE PROVIDERS 

3702
02:18:37,509 --> 02:18:40,278
TO CREATE THESE NEIGHBORHOODS SO

3703
02:18:40,278 --> 02:18:41,946
IT'S NOT A BIG BLOCK. AGAIN, 

3704
02:18:41,946 --> 02:18:43,481
BASED ON MY CONVERSATIONS WITH 

3705
02:18:43,481 --> 02:18:44,482
BENNY, I THINK THAT'S THE 

3706
02:18:44,482 --> 02:18:48,787
DIRECTION TO GO TO AS WELL. 

3707
02:18:48,787 --> 02:18:49,988

3741
02:19:45,910 --> 02:19:46,444
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER, YOU 

3742
02:19:46,444 --> 02:19:47,879
STEWARDED THIS IN THE BEST WAY I

3743
02:19:47,879 --> 02:19:48,913
COULD ASK FOR. I REALLY 

3744
02:19:48,913 --> 02:19:50,181
APPRECIATE YOU WORKING WITH ME 

3745
02:19:50,181 --> 02:19:51,282
TO IMPROVE ANY IDEAS I'VE HAD. 

3746
02:19:51,282 --> 02:19:53,551
I HAVE HAD EVEN MORE AMENDMENT 

3747
02:19:53,551 --> 02:19:54,819
IDEAS THAT I DIDN'T BRING IT 

3748
02:19:54,819 --> 02:19:56,121
BECAUSE OF HOW YOU STEWARDED 

3749
02:19:56,121 --> 02:19:58,490
THIS PROCESS AND I REALLY 

3750
02:19:58,490 --> 02:19:59,958
APPRECIATE HOW YOU'VE DONE THIS

3751
02:19:59,958 --> 02:20:02,927
WORK. COLLEAGUES, AS YOU KNOW, 

3752
02:20:02,927 --> 02:20:05,430
I'VE PASSED THE TWO BILLS OUT 

3753
02:20:05,430 --> 02:20:07,065
OF MY COMMITTEE ALMOST A MONTH 

3754
02:20:07,065 --> 02:20:10,135
AGO TO SUPPORT ADDING NEW 

3755
02:20:10,135 --> 02:20:12,404
SHELTER CAPACITY WITHIN OUR CITY

3756
02:20:12,404 --> 02:20:14,439
. AT THAT TIME, I STATED THAT I 

3757
02:20:14,439 --> 02:20:19,110
WAS GREATLY CONCERNED BECAUSE I 

3758
02:20:19,110 --> 02:20:19,944
WAS SEEING HOMELESSNESS AT A 

3759
02:20:19,944 --> 02:20:21,012
LEVEL THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN IN MY

3760
02:20:21,012 --> 02:20:21,980
DISTRICT IN QUITE SOME TIME. 

3761
02:20:21,980 --> 02:20:23,181
SINCE THEN, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE.

3762
02:20:23,181 --> 02:20:27,886
WHEN WE SPOKE A MONTH AGO WE HAD

3763
02:20:27,886 --> 02:20:29,587
A GENTLEMAN WITH AN ACTUAL STOVE

3764
02:20:29,587 --> 02:20:30,555
PIPE COMING OUT OF HIS TENT. HE 

3765
02:20:30,555 --> 02:20:32,791
HAS SINCE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE 

3766
02:20:32,791 --> 02:20:34,859
HIS FINAL DESTINATION HAS BEEN, 

3767
02:20:34,859 --> 02:20:39,130
FOLKS WERE REMOVED AND EVEN NEW 

3768
02:20:39,130 --> 02:20:40,899
FOLKS, WHO WE HAVE NEVER SEEN IN

3769
02:20:40,899 --> 02:20:42,801
THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE , WE'VE

3770
02:20:42,801 --> 02:20:43,902
SEEN THESE OTHER FOLKS BEFORE. 

3771
02:20:43,902 --> 02:20:45,203
WE HAD COMPLETELY NEW PEOPLE IN 

3772
02:20:45,203 --> 02:20:46,404
THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THAT EXACT 

3773
02:20:46,404 --> 02:20:50,942
SAME SPOT AND IT'S ONLY A MONTH

3774
02:20:50,942 --> 02:20:51,743
LATER. MARVIN'S GARDEN, WHICH 

3775
02:20:51,743 --> 02:20:53,144
IS WHERE THE BELLTOWER IS, OLD 

3776
02:20:53,144 --> 02:20:54,479

THE PANDEMIC. I HAVE ATTENDED 

3780
02:21:02,220 --> 02:21:03,588
KIMMITT OF OVER 30 TIMES IN ONE 

3781
02:21:03,588 --> 02:21:04,656
LOCATION IN MY DISTRICT. THIS IS

3782
02:21:04,656 --> 02:21:06,124
THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD AN IN 

3783
02:21:06,124 --> 02:21:07,358
KIMMITT THAT LARGE SINCE WE 

3784
02:21:07,358 --> 02:21:08,493
RESOLVED WOODLAND PARK IN 

3785
02:21:08,493 --> 02:21:13,465
KIMMITT WITHOUT A SWEEP . YOU 

3786
02:21:13,465 --> 02:21:14,866
CAN HEAR THAT I HAVE GREAT 

3787
02:21:14,866 --> 02:21:15,700
CONSTERNATION AT THIS MOMENT. 

3788
02:21:15,700 --> 02:21:18,136
THAT WE HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES 

3789
02:21:18,136 --> 02:21:21,372
REALLY COME TO THIS LEVEL OF 

3790
02:21:21,372 --> 02:21:22,507
SERIOUSNESS IN THE LAST FEW 

3791
02:21:22,507 --> 02:21:25,176
MONTHS. I WILL BE SUPPORTING 

3792
02:21:25,176 --> 02:21:26,945
THIS BILL TODAY BECAUSE WE HAVE 

3793
02:21:26,945 --> 02:21:29,214
TO DO ALL THAT WE CAN TO ADDRESS

3794
02:21:29,214 --> 02:21:32,917
THE SITUATION. BUT WE ALSO 

3795
02:21:32,917 --> 02:21:35,286
CAN'T STOP MIDSTREAM. AND IT 

3796
02:21:35,286 --> 02:21:37,188
FEELS AS IF THE CITY HAS TAKEN A

3797
02:21:37,188 --> 02:21:38,256
PAUSE IN ADDRESSING HOMELESS. IN

3798
02:21:38,256 --> 02:21:40,291
THE WAY THAT WE HAVE BEEN FOR A 

3799
02:21:40,291 --> 02:21:45,096
NUMBER OF YEARS. THAT GOES BACK 

3800
02:21:45,096 --> 02:21:47,599
TO, I DON'T NEED TO GO BACK TO 

3801
02:21:47,599 --> 02:21:48,967
THE NAVIGATION TEAM VERSUS THE 

3802
02:21:48,967 --> 02:21:50,602
UNIFIED CARE TEAM BUT WE TOOK 

3803
02:21:50,602 --> 02:21:52,036
POLICE OUT OF THE LEAD ROLE IN 

3804
02:21:52,036 --> 02:21:52,971
ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS FOR GOOD

3805
02:21:52,971 --> 02:21:54,305
REASON. AND WHEN WE DID THAT WE 

3806
02:21:54,305 --> 02:21:55,773
HAVE SEEN A LOT MORE HUMAN 

3807
02:21:55,773 --> 02:21:58,076

HUMAN CENTERED SERVICES. I'M 

3809
02:22:04,282 --> 02:22:05,583
CONCERNED THAT WE ARE PAUSING IN

3810
02:22:05,583 --> 02:22:06,751
THE MIDDLE OF THE STREAM RIGHT 

3811
02:22:06,751 --> 02:22:08,052

POINT, THINGS APPEAR TO ONLY BE 

3852
02:23:49,420 --> 02:23:52,323
GETTING MORE DIFFICULT IN THE 

3853
02:23:52,323 --> 02:23:54,425
PAST FEW MONTHS. I'VE HEARD THAT

3854
02:23:54,425 --> 02:23:56,628
FROM MY DISTRICT, SOUTH SEATTLE.

3855
02:23:56,628 --> 02:24:00,798
I'M SAD TO REPORT , JUST ABOUT 

3856
02:24:00,798 --> 02:24:03,501
A WEEK AGO , WE HAD AN ON HOUSE 

3857
02:24:03,501 --> 02:24:06,537
TO NEIGHBOR THAT WAS KILLED IN 

3858
02:24:06,537 --> 02:24:08,473
THE MT. BAKER AREA . JUST EARLY 

3859
02:24:08,473 --> 02:24:11,943
THIS MORNING WE HAD AN RV THAT 

3860
02:24:11,943 --> 02:24:13,578
HAS CAUGHT ON FIRE AND EXPLODED.

3861
02:24:13,578 --> 02:24:16,247
I SPOKE WITH THE RESIDENT OF 

3862
02:24:16,247 --> 02:24:19,751
THAT RV AND HE WAS THANKFULLY 

3863
02:24:19,751 --> 02:24:21,152
OKAY BUT HE THOUGHT IT MIGHT 

3864
02:24:21,152 --> 02:24:27,291
HAVE BEEN ARSON. WE SEE, AND 

3865
02:24:27,291 --> 02:24:28,593

SAFETY ISSUES THAT THEY FACE AND

3868
02:24:30,495 --> 02:24:33,131
WHY IT IS SO CRITICAL THAT WE 

3869
02:24:33,131 --> 02:24:37,402
GIVE THEM A DOOR , SOME 

3870
02:24:37,402 --> 02:24:40,505
SECURITY, SAFETY AND SERVICES. 

3871
02:24:40,505 --> 02:24:41,806
IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE ACT WITH 

3872
02:24:41,806 --> 02:24:44,208
URGENCY , AS NEIGHBORS CONTINUE 

3873
02:24:44,208 --> 02:24:47,245
TO ASK, WHAT ARE WE DOING TO 

3874
02:24:47,245 --> 02:24:48,312
SUPPORT THE NEIGHBORHOODS, TO 

3875
02:24:48,312 --> 02:24:51,149

KETTLE. 

3946
02:27:52,230 --> 02:27:52,863
>> MADAM CHAIR, I THINK I SAID 

3947
02:27:52,863 --> 02:27:53,598
THIS BEFORE IN COMMITTEE. BUT I 

3948
02:27:53,598 --> 02:27:55,266
WANT TO SAY IT AGAIN. THIS IS 

3949
02:27:55,266 --> 02:27:55,867
INTERIM LEGISLATION THAT WAS 

3950
02:27:55,867 --> 02:27:56,500
TRANSMITTED FROM THE MAYOR'S 

3951
02:27:56,500 --> 02:27:58,269
OFFICE AND I KNOW THAT THERE 

3952
02:27:58,269 --> 02:28:01,572
WERE A LOT OF HANDPRINTS 

3953
02:28:01,572 --> 02:28:02,206
EVERYWHERE ON THIS LEGISLATION 

3954
02:28:02,206 --> 02:28:02,840
WHEN IT WAS FIRST TRANSMITTED. 

3955
02:28:02,840 --> 02:28:03,674
BUT I WANT TO REALLY, REALLY 

3956
02:28:03,674 --> 02:28:04,242
STRESS, AND I WROTE DOWN MY 

3957
02:28:04,242 --> 02:28:06,377
THOUGHTS BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE 

3958
02:28:06,377 --> 02:28:06,911
SURE I GOT THIS RIGHT, TO 

3959
02:28:06,911 --> 02:28:09,146
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER. I THINK 

3960
02:28:09,146 --> 02:28:10,948
THAT SHE HAS DEMONSTRATED SOME 

3961
02:28:10,948 --> 02:28:11,582
OF THE FINEST SHARED LEADERSHIP 

3962
02:28:11,582 --> 02:28:13,451
AND PRINCIPLES THAT I HAVE 

3963
02:28:13,451 --> 02:28:17,455
WITNESSED SO FAR , A LOT OF. 

3964
02:28:17,455 --> 02:28:18,923
IT'S FAMILIAR TO ME BECAUSE 

3965
02:28:18,923 --> 02:28:22,226
IT'S I WAS RAISED . REAL 

3966
02:28:22,226 --> 02:28:23,227
LEADERSHIP, COOPERATION, 

3967
02:28:23,227 --> 02:28:27,498
RELATIONSHIPS AND HONESTY. AND 

3968
02:28:27,498 --> 02:28:28,532
WE'VE HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY TO 

3969
02:28:28,532 --> 02:28:29,867
DISCUSS THE LEGISLATION AS IT 

3970
02:28:29,867 --> 02:28:30,501
WAS ORIGINALLY TRANSMITTED AND 

3971
02:28:30,501 --> 02:28:31,936
WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION SAID A 

3972
02:28:31,936 --> 02:28:33,170

WAY , DONE WITH KINDNESS AND 

3974
02:28:41,145 --> 02:28:42,079
RESPECT. THERE ARE AREAS IN 

3975
02:28:42,079 --> 02:28:43,447
WHICH WE DIDN'T AGREE, AND I 

3976
02:28:43,447 --> 02:28:44,448
APPRECIATED THAT SHE COULD COME 

3977
02:28:44,448 --> 02:28:45,750

3978
02:28:45,750 --> 02:28:47,151
GOT YOU ON THIS. BUT I'M LIKE, 

3979
02:28:47,151 --> 02:28:48,152
OKAY, LET'S TALK IT THROUGH. 

3980
02:28:48,152 --> 02:28:49,620
SHE TURNED ME AROUND ON A FEW 

3981
02:28:49,620 --> 02:28:51,889
THINGS AND I APPRECIATED THAT. 

3982
02:28:51,889 --> 02:28:52,890
WE HAD REAL OPPORTUNITIES TO 

3983
02:28:52,890 --> 02:28:54,892
DISCUSS ALL OPTIONS TO SUPPORT 

3984
02:28:54,892 --> 02:28:55,459
SHELTER EXPANSION, PROVIDE 

3985
02:28:55,459 --> 02:28:59,230
SERVICES, LOOK AT PUBLIC SAFETY 

3986
02:28:59,230 --> 02:29:01,365
. AND TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR

3987
02:29:01,365 --> 02:29:02,967
GREAT CITY AND OUR GREAT NEED TO

3988
02:29:02,967 --> 02:29:06,804
SHELTER THOSE , OUR FRIENDS, OUR

3989
02:29:06,804 --> 02:29:08,005
NEIGHBORS, OUR RELATIONS WERE ON

3990
02:29:08,005 --> 02:29:11,042
HOUSED. AND , ON A PERSONAL 

3991
02:29:11,042 --> 02:29:12,677
NOTE, I WANT TO ADD SOMETHING. 

3992
02:29:12,677 --> 02:29:18,082
TWO THINGS. LIKE COUNCILMEMBER 

3993
02:29:18,082 --> 02:29:19,383
RIVERA, LIKE SHE SHARED, IN A 

3994
02:29:19,383 --> 02:29:20,051
MINUTE OF VULNERABILITY, I TOO 

3995
02:29:20,051 --> 02:29:22,153
GREW UP IN LOW INCOME HOUSING. I

3996
02:29:22,153 --> 02:29:25,122
KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GROW UP 

3997
02:29:25,122 --> 02:29:26,390
WITH LACK OF RESOURCES, HEAT, 

3998
02:29:26,390 --> 02:29:30,928
FOOD OR LACK OF PUBLIC SAFETY. 

3999
02:29:30,928 --> 02:29:32,330
BE SUBJECTED TO CRIME, DRUGS AND

4000
02:29:32,330 --> 02:29:34,799
PREDATORY BEHAVIOR , AND EVEN 

4001
02:29:34,799 --> 02:29:35,533
TRANSPORTATION. SO I UNDERSTAND 

4002
02:29:35,533 --> 02:29:37,401
WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN PEOPLE 

4003
02:29:37,401 --> 02:29:37,935
DISCUSS, AS COUNCILMEMBER 

4004
02:29:37,935 --> 02:29:44,308
STRAUSS ELOQUENTLY STATED, 

4005
02:29:44,308 --> 02:29:45,309
PEOPLE BEING WAREHOUSED. SO WE 

4006
02:29:45,309 --> 02:29:46,143
DON'T MAKE THESE DECISIONS 

4007
02:29:46,143 --> 02:29:47,378
LIGHTLY. WE DON'T MAKE THEM IN 

4008
02:29:47,378 --> 02:29:48,579
A VACUUM. CERTAINLY, EVERYONE OF

4009
02:29:48,579 --> 02:29:50,981

MATTER EXPERTISE AND HOW WE 

4013
02:29:59,323 --> 02:30:00,157
BELIEVE LEGISLATION CAN MOVE 

4014
02:30:00,157 --> 02:30:01,692
FORWARD. BUT WHEN YOU SEE REALLY

4015
02:30:01,692 --> 02:30:08,032

POLITICIZING, HUMILIATING OR 

4027
02:30:19,910 --> 02:30:20,945

4044
02:30:51,575 --> 02:30:52,576
1st THAT SHELTER MUST BE PART OF

4045
02:30:52,576 --> 02:30:53,577
THE RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES 

4046
02:30:53,577 --> 02:30:58,516
THAT WE SEE IN OUR STREET AND 

4047
02:30:58,516 --> 02:30:59,683
ELSEWHERE IN OUR CITY. IT MUST 

4048
02:30:59,683 --> 02:31:01,318
BE AN ALL HANDS ON DECK EFFORT. 

4049
02:31:01,318 --> 02:31:02,553
AND I KNOW THAT. THAT'S WHY, IN

4050
02:31:02,553 --> 02:31:03,721
MY MEETING WITH THE POLICY 

4051
02:31:03,721 --> 02:31:06,023

ADVISOR IS HERE WITH US, MR. 

4053
02:31:07,825 --> 02:31:12,963
GRANT, THAT I SAID YES ON THE 

4054
02:31:12,963 --> 02:31:14,965
WEST ARMORY WAY. AND IT WAS THE 

4055
02:31:14,965 --> 02:31:16,367
ONLY ONE LISTED IN THE ORIGINAL 

4056
02:31:16,367 --> 02:31:18,202
ANNOUNCEMENT ON THIS. BECAUSE WE

4057
02:31:18,202 --> 02:31:20,805
DO HAVE TO SHOW THE LEADERSHIP 

4058
02:31:20,805 --> 02:31:25,209
ON THIS. AND ALSO TO BUILD ON 

4059
02:31:25,209 --> 02:31:29,280

02:31:29,280 --> 02:31:30,181
TERMS OF SUCCESSFUL EFFORTS

4062
02:31:31,615 --> 02:31:33,984
THESE DIFFERENT PIECES. I DO 

4063
02:31:33,984 --> 02:31:37,254
HAVE TO SAY , I THINK IT WAS 

4064
02:31:37,254 --> 02:31:38,589
RELATED TO A BUDGET QUESTION 

4065
02:31:38,589 --> 02:31:43,894
WHEN THE MAYOR SAID HER PRIORITY

4066
02:31:43,894 --> 02:31:44,528
IS HOMELESSNESS, HOMELESSNESS, 

4067
02:31:44,528 --> 02:31:45,129
HOMELESSNESS. I WOULD ARGUE 

4068
02:31:45,129 --> 02:31:46,564
THAT'S WRONG. I WOULD ARGUE 

4069
02:31:46,564 --> 02:31:48,666
SHOULD BE PUBLIC SAFETY, PUBLIC 

4070
02:31:48,666 --> 02:31:49,467
HEALTH, AND HOMELESSNESS. YOU 

4071
02:31:49,467 --> 02:31:52,069

HUMAN SERVICES PIECE. AND 

4075
02:31:57,374 --> 02:32:00,277
OBVIOUSLY HOMELESSNESS WITH THE 

4076
02:32:00,277 --> 02:32:02,780
PEACE. WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS 

4077
02:32:02,780 --> 02:32:03,347
CONFERENCE OF APPROACH. THE 

4078
02:32:03,347 --> 02:32:04,315
REASON WHY, PARTICULARLY FOR 

4079
02:32:04,315 --> 02:32:09,453

4080
02:32:09,453 --> 02:32:10,721

4085
02:32:21,265 --> 02:32:22,433
WHEN I'M WALKING MY DOGS, COULD

4086
02:32:22,433 --> 02:32:23,901
BE ANYTHING WHERE WE GET PUBLIC 

4087
02:32:23,901 --> 02:32:25,369

4090
02:32:28,973 --> 02:32:30,207
CRIMINALIZING PEOPLE FOR BEING 

4091

POOR OR IN CRISIS. BUT I 

4092
02:32:32,476 --> 02:32:33,611

4094
02:32:34,578 --> 02:32:39,884
HIGH-IMPACT COUNTS ARE -- 

4095
02:32:39,884 --> 02:32:40,851
SHELTER SITES WITHOUT CLEAR 

4096
02:32:40,851 --> 02:32:41,685
PROTECTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO 

4097
02:32:41,685 --> 02:32:43,487
ALREADY LIVE AND WORK NEARBY. HE

4098
02:32:43,487 --> 02:32:48,359
SPOKE FURTHER ON IT. HE HAD 

4099
02:32:48,359 --> 02:32:49,393
QUESTIONS HE WANTED ANSWERS ON. 

4100
02:32:49,393 --> 02:32:51,061
BUT ONE THAT I WANT TO 

4101
02:32:51,061 --> 02:32:52,596
HIGHLIGHT, NUMBER THREE, WHO WAS

4102
02:32:52,596 --> 02:32:53,430
NAMED CITY CONTACT RESPONSIBLE 

4103
02:32:53,430 --> 02:32:54,598
FOR URGENT NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS

4104
02:32:54,598 --> 02:32:57,334
ONCE THE SITE IS ACTIVE? WE HAVE

4105
02:32:57,334 --> 02:32:58,135
TO WORK THROUGH THESE PIECES TO 

4106
02:32:58,135 --> 02:32:59,436
ENSURE THAT THIS CONNECTION 

4107
02:32:59,436 --> 02:33:02,640
BETWEEN CITY GOVERNMENT , THE 

4108
02:33:02,640 --> 02:33:03,774
CONSTITUENTS, THE RESIDENTS, 

4109
02:33:03,774 --> 02:33:05,543
NEIGHBORS THROUGHOUT THE CITY 

4110
02:33:05,543 --> 02:33:09,113
CAN BE HEARD. HE ALSO NOTED THAT

4111
02:33:09,113 --> 02:33:09,780
RECENT COUNSEL DISCUSSION HAS 

4112
02:33:09,780 --> 02:33:15,686
INCLUDED PROMISES AROUND THE 

4113
02:33:15,686 --> 02:33:16,353
NEIGHBORHOOD AGREEMENTS, PUBLIC 

4114
02:33:16,353 --> 02:33:16,987
SAFETY, PLANNING, STAFFING AND 

4115
02:33:16,987 --> 02:33:17,555
BETTER COMMUNICATION. I'M 

4116
02:33:17,555 --> 02:33:18,489
ASKING YOUR OFFICE TO HELP 

4117
02:33:18,489 --> 02:33:19,757
ENSURE THOSE PROMISES ARE NOT 

4118
02:33:19,757 --> 02:33:22,293
JUST TALKING POINTS, BUT REAL 

4119
02:33:22,293 --> 02:33:22,760
OBLIGATIONS WITH REAL 

4120
02:33:22,760 --> 02:33:25,729
FOLLOW-THROUGH. I THINK THIS IS 

4121
02:33:25,729 --> 02:33:26,964
REALLY IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHT , AND

4122
02:33:26,964 --> 02:33:31,335
TO HIGHLIGHT THIS PUBLIC COMMENT

4123
02:33:31,335 --> 02:33:32,636
. MY OFFICE, MYSELF AND MY 

4124
02:33:32,636 --> 02:33:33,804
OFFICE, WE WILL BE WORKING THESE

4125
02:33:33,804 --> 02:33:35,206
PIECES, AS WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN 

4126
02:33:35,206 --> 02:33:36,974
DOING. BECAUSE WE NEED AN 

4127
02:33:36,974 --> 02:33:40,511
APPROACH THAT LOOKS TO OUR 

4128
02:33:40,511 --> 02:33:46,584
NEIGHBORS WERE IN CRISIS WITH 

4129
02:33:46,584 --> 02:33:47,751
COMPASSION. WE HAVE TO LEAD WITH

4130
02:33:47,751 --> 02:33:48,586
THAT COMPASSION FOR NEIGHBORS 

4131
02:33:48,586 --> 02:33:49,753
CRISIS. BUT TO HIS POINT, WE 

4132
02:33:49,753 --> 02:33:51,155
ALSO HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR THE 

4133
02:33:51,155 --> 02:33:52,222
NEIGHBORHOODS. WE HAVE TO LOOK 

4134
02:33:52,222 --> 02:33:52,990
AT THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND 

4135
02:33:52,990 --> 02:33:53,991
COMMUNITIES. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO

4136
02:33:53,991 --> 02:33:54,925
BE LIKE A GEOGRAPHIC 

4137
02:33:54,925 --> 02:33:55,859
NEIGHBORHOOD. IT CAN ALSO BE 

4138
02:33:55,859 --> 02:33:56,727
COMMUNITIES. WE ALSO MUST 

4139
02:33:56,727 --> 02:33:57,828
INCORPORATE LESSONS LEARNED. AND

4140
02:33:57,828 --> 02:33:59,630
I KEEP MENTIONING THE SAFE RV 

4141
02:33:59,630 --> 02:34:04,568
LOT. THE RV AND TINY HOME 

4142
02:34:04,568 --> 02:34:05,703
VILLAGES, AND THE PIECES THAT 

4143
02:34:05,703 --> 02:34:07,438
WERE PUT IN THERE TO INCLUDE THE

4144
02:34:07,438 --> 02:34:09,306
SERVICES PIECE. BUT ALSO, THE 

4145
02:34:09,306 --> 02:34:10,341
SECURITY PIECES. AND I WOULD 

4146
02:34:10,341 --> 02:34:11,575
ARGUE THAT WAS A SUCCESSFUL 

4147
02:34:11,575 --> 02:34:13,944
ENTERPRISE , WHICH THEN LEADS TO

4148
02:34:13,944 --> 02:34:16,046
THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT WEST 

4149
02:34:16,046 --> 02:34:17,615
ARMORY WAY. NOTHING BREEDS 

4150
02:34:17,615 --> 02:34:20,684
SUCCESS IN THE AREA LIKE 

4151
02:34:20,684 --> 02:34:23,254
SUCCESS. WE NEED TO BE WORKING 

4152
02:34:23,254 --> 02:34:25,189
ON THESE PIECES. AS I HAVE ARTIE

4153
02:34:25,189 --> 02:34:27,891
KIND OF NOTED EARLIER , BUT ALSO

4154
02:34:27,891 --> 02:34:31,228
IN HIS FINAL NOTE, THIS IS IT 

4155
02:34:31,228 --> 02:34:32,496
LAND-USE COMMITTEE BUT THIS IS 

4156
02:34:32,496 --> 02:34:34,898
MUCH BROADER. I HEARD SOME 

4157
02:34:34,898 --> 02:34:36,266
COMMENTS AND PUBLIC COMMENT NOT 

4158
02:34:36,266 --> 02:34:38,602
VETTED THROUGH LAND-USE. SOME OF

4159
02:34:38,602 --> 02:34:40,137
THESE ARE LAND-USE. BUT THIS 

4160
02:34:40,137 --> 02:34:43,607
ALSO REPRESENTS A MISMATCH 

4161
02:34:43,607 --> 02:34:44,408
BETWEEN THE LAND-USE ELEMENTS 

4162
02:34:44,408 --> 02:34:45,876
AND WHAT WE ARE DOING. BUT ALSO 

4163
02:34:45,876 --> 02:34:46,510
THE NON-LAND-USE ELEMENTS. 

4164
02:34:46,510 --> 02:34:47,611
REALLY, ELEMENTS OF THIS COULD 

4165
02:34:47,611 --> 02:34:48,479
HAVE GONE THROUGH PUBLIC SAFETY 

4166
02:34:48,479 --> 02:34:49,346
COMMITTEE. IT ALMOST FEELS 

4167
02:34:49,346 --> 02:34:50,748
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE PIECE OF

4168
02:34:50,748 --> 02:34:51,749
LEGISLATION. HUMAN SERVICES AND 

4169
02:34:51,749 --> 02:34:53,050
HOUSING. AND THAT'S REALLY 

4170
02:34:53,050 --> 02:34:56,887
IMPORTANT TO REFLECT. MOVING 

4171
02:34:56,887 --> 02:34:58,455
FORWARD WITH COMPREHENSIVE 

4172
02:34:58,455 --> 02:35:00,024
PEACE, WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT 

4173
02:35:00,024 --> 02:35:02,793
THESE ELEMENTS ARE ALL GETTING 

4174
02:35:02,793 --> 02:35:04,762
ADDRESSED IN A WAY THAT IS ALSO 

4175
02:35:04,762 --> 02:35:09,166
GOOD GOVERNANCE ASPECT. 

4176
02:35:09,166 --> 02:35:10,100
SOMETHING NOT SPOKEN TO TODAY, 

4177
02:35:10,100 --> 02:35:11,835
BUT I WANT TO SPEAK TO IT RIGHT 

4178
02:35:11,835 --> 02:35:15,973
NOW, THIS EFFORT THAT WE ARE 

4179
02:35:15,973 --> 02:35:17,541
DOING HERE WITH THE SHELTER PLAN

4180
02:35:17,541 --> 02:35:20,344
CANNOT SUPPLANT THE REGIONAL 

4181
02:35:20,344 --> 02:35:21,712
APPROACH TO HOMELESSNESS THAT WE

4182
02:35:21,712 --> 02:35:22,946
HAVE EMBARKED UPON BECAUSE WE 

4183
02:35:22,946 --> 02:35:25,382
TRULY HAVE A REGIONAL PROBLEM ON

4184
02:35:25,382 --> 02:35:27,217
THE STREETS AND OTHER AREAS OF 

4185
02:35:27,217 --> 02:35:30,487
OUR CITY IN SEATTLE. WE HAVE A 

4186
02:35:30,487 --> 02:35:31,889
REGIONAL HOMELESSNESS PROBLEM ON

4187
02:35:31,889 --> 02:35:33,691
THE STREETS OF SEATTLE. AND WE 

4188
02:35:33,691 --> 02:35:34,358
HAVE TO MAINTAIN THIS REGIONAL 

4189
02:35:34,358 --> 02:35:37,394
APPROACH. WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN 

4190
02:35:37,394 --> 02:35:38,862
THE OVERSIGHT ROLE THAT WE HAVE 

4191
02:35:38,862 --> 02:35:40,097
IS A CITY THROUGH THIS REGIONAL 

4192
02:35:40,097 --> 02:35:42,833
APPROACH TO THIS REGIONAL 

4193
02:35:42,833 --> 02:35:43,567
PROBLEM. AND IT'S REALLY 

4194
02:35:43,567 --> 02:35:44,535
IMPORTANT. YES, I'M TALKING 

4195
02:35:44,535 --> 02:35:45,969
ABOUT THE KING COUNTY REGIONAL 

4196
02:35:45,969 --> 02:35:55,846
HOMELESS AUTHORITY. OR, 2.0, 

4197
02:35:55,846 --> 02:35:57,081
PROBABLY SAME NAME. WE HAVE TO 

4198
02:35:57,081 --> 02:35:58,349
HAVE THESE PIECES. WE HAVE TO 

4199
02:35:58,349 --> 02:35:59,316
HAVE THE ORIGINAL APPROACH. WE 

4200
02:35:59,316 --> 02:36:00,451
HAVE HAVE THE OVERSIGHT PIECES. 

4201
02:36:00,451 --> 02:36:01,919
WE HAVE TO HAVE A VOICE AND THAT

4202
02:36:01,919 --> 02:36:02,820
REGIONAL OVERSIGHT. AGAIN, NOT 

4203
02:36:02,820 --> 02:36:03,554
MENTIONED TODAY. BUT IT'S 

4204
02:36:03,554 --> 02:36:13,030
IMPORTANT TO DO SO. TO CLOSE, I 

4205
02:36:13,030 --> 02:36:14,031
JUST WANTED TO NOTE, PUBLIC 

4206
02:36:14,031 --> 02:36:14,965
SAFETY, PUBLIC HEALTH AND 

4207
02:36:14,965 --> 02:36:15,666
HOMELESSNESS. I INVITE EVERYONE 

4208
02:36:15,666 --> 02:36:17,067
TO LOOK AT THE 24 APRIL PUBLIC 

4209
02:36:17,067 --> 02:36:18,001
SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING, THE 

4210
02:36:18,001 --> 02:36:19,069
CHAIR, TO THE BEGINNING WHERE I 

4211
02:36:19,069 --> 02:36:20,871
SPOKE TO A SEATTLE TIMES ARTICLE

4212
02:36:20,871 --> 02:36:22,973
TALKING TO LITTLE SAIGON . I 

4213
02:36:22,973 --> 02:36:24,208
TALKED TO THESE PIECES, BUT ALSO

4214
02:36:24,208 --> 02:36:25,242
TALKED TO OTHER PICTURES. WHY 

4215
02:36:25,242 --> 02:36:26,443
ARE WE STILL HEREAFTER MAYOR 

4216
02:36:26,443 --> 02:36:27,745
MURRAY DECLARED AN EMERGENCY 

4217
02:36:27,745 --> 02:36:37,821
BACK IN 2015. I SPOKE TO BEING A

4218
02:36:37,821 --> 02:36:39,256
CITY OF TWO MINDS. WE ARE OF TWO

4219
02:36:39,256 --> 02:36:40,724
MINDS IN A LOT OF WAYS, THAT 

4220
02:36:40,724 --> 02:36:41,759
PARALYZES US. THE FOLLOW-THROUGH

4221
02:36:41,759 --> 02:36:42,526
AND THE FOLLOW-UP HASN'T BEEN 

4222
02:36:42,526 --> 02:36:44,094
THERE OVER THIS LAST DOZEN 

4223
02:36:44,094 --> 02:36:45,195
YEARS, NEARLY DOZEN YEARS. I 

4224
02:36:45,195 --> 02:36:46,630
SPEAK TO THESE PIECES AND I 

4225
02:36:46,630 --> 02:36:47,831
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO RAISE 

4226
02:36:47,831 --> 02:36:53,904
THIS AND MAKE IT PUBLIC. 

4227
02:36:53,904 --> 02:36:54,872
OTHERWISE, WE CAN BE HERE A 

4228
02:36:54,872 --> 02:36:55,939
DECADE FROM NOW AND WE WILL 

4229
02:36:55,939 --> 02:36:57,708
STILL BE IN THE SAME POSITION. I

4230
02:36:57,708 --> 02:37:03,480
WANT TO GET TO THE PLACE WHERE I

4231
02:37:03,480 --> 02:37:05,315
HEAR ALL THE SERVICE PROVIDERS, 

4232
02:37:05,315 --> 02:37:06,784
WHICH I HEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS,

4233
02:37:06,784 --> 02:37:08,218
ACROSS THE BOARD. AND GET TO A 

4234
02:37:08,218 --> 02:37:09,186
POINT WHERE THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED 

4235
02:37:09,186 --> 02:37:10,487
IN THEIR MISSION TO HELP THE 

4236
02:37:10,487 --> 02:37:11,722
PEOPLE. AND WE'VE GOT TO THE 

4237
02:37:11,722 --> 02:37:14,625
PLACE WHERE WE ARE BEYOND HAVING

4238
02:37:14,625 --> 02:37:15,826

4239
02:37:15,826 --> 02:37:16,794

4290
02:38:58,795 --> 02:39:02,599
NOT IN THIS ROOM THAT HAVE HAD

TONS OF MEETINGS WITH THAT NEED

TALKING ABOUT PERMANENT 

4294
02:39:06,570 --> 02:39:07,938
LEGISLATION . BECAUSE THEY HAVE 

4295
02:39:07,938 --> 02:39:09,540
TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS TOO. 

4296
02:39:09,540 --> 02:39:13,410
THAT'S NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO, 

4297
02:39:13,410 --> 02:39:15,512
THE WHOLE PIECE OF HUMAN 

4298
02:39:15,512 --> 02:39:18,649
SERVICES. WHEN WE ARE TALKING 

4299
02:39:18,649 --> 02:39:22,219
ABOUT PLACEMENT OF SHELTERS 

4300
02:39:22,219 --> 02:39:23,587
WE'VE GOT TO INCLUDE FOOD 

4301
02:39:23,587 --> 02:39:24,588
BANKS, MEAL PROGRAMS, MENTAL 

4302
02:39:24,588 --> 02:39:25,188
HEALTH PROVIDERS, HEALTHCARE 

4303
02:39:25,188 --> 02:39:26,657
PROVIDERS. FOLKS THAT ARE THE 

4304
02:39:26,657 --> 02:39:29,860
WRAPAROUND SERVICES TO A LOT OF 

4305
02:39:29,860 --> 02:39:33,997
THESE TRANSITIONAL SHELTERS THAT

4306
02:39:33,997 --> 02:39:35,265
HAVE WANTED TO BE INCLUDED IN 

4307
02:39:35,265 --> 02:39:36,066
THESE CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE IT 

4308
02:39:36,066 --> 02:39:38,001
IMPACTS THEM AS WELL. AND AS WE 

4309
02:39:38,001 --> 02:39:39,303
ARE PROVIDING MORE RESOURCES TO 

4310
02:39:39,303 --> 02:39:40,671
THE FOLKS THAT ARE PROVIDING THE

4311
02:39:40,671 --> 02:39:43,707
SHELTER THAT WE ALSO NEED TO 

4312
02:39:43,707 --> 02:39:47,010
PROVIDE RESOURCES TO THE FOLKS 

4313
02:39:47,010 --> 02:39:48,045
THAT ARE PROVIDING THE SERVICES 

4314
02:39:48,045 --> 02:39:53,951
TO THE PEOPLE AS WELL. THAT IS 

4315
02:39:53,951 --> 02:39:55,485
ONE THING THAT I HEARD AS WELL. 

4316
02:39:55,485 --> 02:39:56,820
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, AND I WILL 

4317
02:39:56,820 --> 02:39:58,455
CONTINUE TO SAY THIS, MY 

4318
02:39:58,455 --> 02:40:01,758
PRIORITY FOR THE SHELTERS , 

4319
02:40:01,758 --> 02:40:02,893
FAMILY AND CHILDREN, THERE ARE A

4320
02:40:02,893 --> 02:40:04,461
TON OF FAMILIES AND CHILDREN 

4321
02:40:04,461 --> 02:40:06,063
THAT WE WE DO NOT SEE ON THE 

4322
02:40:06,063 --> 02:40:09,433
STREETS. THEY ARE SLEEPING ON 

4323
02:40:09,433 --> 02:40:10,667
CARS, THEY ARE SLEEPING ON 

4324
02:40:10,667 --> 02:40:13,503
SOFAS, THERE ARE 20 FAMILY 

4325
02:40:13,503 --> 02:40:14,671
MEMBERS SLEEPING IN A HOME RIGHT

4326
02:40:14,671 --> 02:40:16,106
NOW, WE HAVE KIDS THAT ARE TAKEN

4327
02:40:16,106 --> 02:40:17,708
OUT OF SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY DO 

4328
02:40:17,708 --> 02:40:19,843
NOT HAVE PLACES TO GO. WE HAVE 

4329
02:40:19,843 --> 02:40:23,280
PARENTS ARRANGING RIDES FOR KIDS

4330
02:40:23,280 --> 02:40:24,247
THAT LIVE IN SEPARATE PLACES 

4331
02:40:24,247 --> 02:40:25,449
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH 

4332
02:40:25,449 --> 02:40:26,850
BEDS FOR THEM. I JUST WANT TO 

4333
02:40:26,850 --> 02:40:31,688
HIGHLIGHT THAT MY GOAL IS FOR US

4334
02:40:31,688 --> 02:40:33,790
TO RE-CENTER OUR FOCUS ON OUR 

4335
02:40:33,790 --> 02:40:35,292
FAMILIES AND OUR KIDS THAT ARE 

4336
02:40:35,292 --> 02:40:36,927
IMPACTED. BECAUSE IT IS HARD FOR

4337
02:40:36,927 --> 02:40:40,163
KIDS TO SWITCH THREE OR FOUR 

4338
02:40:40,163 --> 02:40:41,531
SCHOOLS IN ONE SCHOOL YEAR AND 

4339
02:40:41,531 --> 02:40:42,699
WE EXPECT THEM TO GET GOOD 

4340
02:40:42,699 --> 02:40:46,970
GRADES , AND WE EXPECT THEM TO 

4341
02:40:46,970 --> 02:40:48,005
FUNCTION PROPERLY. THAT IS MY 

4342
02:40:48,005 --> 02:40:49,606
PRIORITY IN THIS. AND I WILL BE 

4343
02:40:49,606 --> 02:40:52,809
WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH THE 

4344
02:40:52,809 --> 02:40:53,944
MAYOR'S OFFICE ON THAT AND 

4345
02:40:53,944 --> 02:40:55,245
MAKING SURE THAT I BEAT THE DRUM

4346
02:40:55,245 --> 02:40:56,279
LOUD AND CLEAR ABOUT OUR 

4347
02:40:56,279 --> 02:40:57,714
FAMILIES AND OUR BABIES AND OUR 

4348
02:40:57,714 --> 02:41:00,350
CHILDREN. OTHER THAN THAT, 

4349
02:41:00,350 --> 02:41:01,485
COLLEAGUES, I'M SURE PEOPLE ARE

4350
02:41:01,485 --> 02:41:04,554
TIRED OF HEARING US TALK. I SEE 

4351
02:41:04,554 --> 02:41:07,290
PEOPLE SAY YES. COUNCILMEMBER 

4352
02:41:07,290 --> 02:41:09,026
FOSTER, FOR THE LAST WORDS 

4353
02:41:09,026 --> 02:41:09,393
BEFORE WE VOTE? 

4354
02:41:09,393 --> 02:41:13,330
>> I'M SORRY, MISS EVENT. I 

4355
02:41:13,330 --> 02:41:14,965
HAVE A COUPLE MORE COMMENTS 

4356
02:41:14,965 --> 02:41:16,199
HERE. THINK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL

4357
02:41:16,199 --> 02:41:18,502
PRESIDENT . AND YOU MENTIONED 

4358
02:41:18,502 --> 02:41:21,872
THE WORKHORSE THAT IS 

4359
02:41:21,872 --> 02:41:22,606
COUNCILMEMBER LIN. THAT'S WHY 

4360
02:41:22,606 --> 02:41:25,108
WE CALL YOU COACH LIN . 

4361
02:41:25,108 --> 02:41:26,209
ALTHOUGH, THAT FEELS LIKE A 

4362
02:41:26,209 --> 02:41:29,813
DIFFERENT MEETING AT THIS POINT.

4363
02:41:29,813 --> 02:41:32,049
I'M GOING TO CLOSE WITH 

4364
02:41:32,049 --> 02:41:34,251
SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN ON MY 

4365
02:41:34,251 --> 02:41:41,591
MIND THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS . I

4366
02:41:41,591 --> 02:41:42,993
KNOW THAT SOMETIMES ON THE DAIS,

4367
02:41:42,993 --> 02:41:44,227
AS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE WORK

4368
02:41:44,227 --> 02:41:45,862
THAT WE ARE DOING, THEY'RE SORT

4369
02:41:45,862 --> 02:41:46,963
OF AN INTER-'S PERSONAL OF 

4370
02:41:46,963 --> 02:41:51,368
FOLKS THAT WE HAVE HAD. THE 

4371
02:41:51,368 --> 02:41:55,906
LEGISLATION WE ARE ABOUT TO VOTE

4372
02:41:55,906 --> 02:41:57,074
ON IS FOCUSED ON EXPANSION FOR 

4373
02:41:57,074 --> 02:41:58,141
OUR SANCTIONED NICK EMMONS FOR 

4374
02:41:58,141 --> 02:42:05,315
TINY HOUSES AND RVs. I WANT TO 

4375
02:42:05,315 --> 02:42:06,483
CONTINUE TO REITERATE THAT SO WE

4376
02:42:06,483 --> 02:42:07,584
HAVE THAT LEVEL OF CLARITY 

4377
02:42:07,584 --> 02:42:08,385
AROUND WHAT THIS LEGISLATION 

4378
02:42:08,385 --> 02:42:09,753
ALLOWS AND THOSE ARE GOING TO BE

4379
02:42:09,753 --> 02:42:10,821
SITES THAT ARE OPERATED WITH 

4380
02:42:10,821 --> 02:42:11,822
SKILLED PROVIDERS. I JUST WANT 

4381
02:42:11,822 --> 02:42:13,390
TO MAKE SURE WE ARE VERY CLEAR 

4382
02:42:13,390 --> 02:42:14,691
ON THAT AS WE CLOSE OUT. AND 

4383
02:42:14,691 --> 02:42:16,259
THEN WHEN I WANT TO SAY IS, I 

4384
02:42:16,259 --> 02:42:17,727
LIVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M 

4385
02:42:17,727 --> 02:42:22,399
WALKING DISTANCE FROM THREE 

4386
02:42:22,399 --> 02:42:23,533
SHELTER LOCATIONS, ONE THAT IS 

4387
02:42:23,533 --> 02:42:24,401
ACTUALLY GETTING READY TO OPEN 

4388
02:42:24,401 --> 02:42:25,702
UP. THE ONE THAT'S GETTING 

4389
02:42:25,702 --> 02:42:26,670
READY TO OPEN UP HAS BEEN 

4390
02:42:26,670 --> 02:42:27,938
DELAYED FOR QUITE A WHILE. I 

4391
02:42:27,938 --> 02:42:29,639
HAVE BEEN EXCITED TO SEE, IN 

4392
02:42:29,639 --> 02:42:30,841
RECENT WEEKS, ACTION HAPPENING 

4393
02:42:30,841 --> 02:42:32,409
AT THAT LOCATION WHERE THERE'S 

4394
02:42:32,409 --> 02:42:36,313
UNITS THAT ARE GETTING BROUGHT 

4395
02:42:36,313 --> 02:42:37,948
INTO THE SITE AND UNITS THAT ARE

4396
02:42:37,948 --> 02:42:39,349
GETTING BUILT ON THE SITE. HE 

4397
02:42:39,349 --> 02:42:40,350
REMINDED ME THAT, OVER THE 

4398
02:42:40,350 --> 02:42:41,718
SUMMER, I WENT TO A COMMUNITY 

4399
02:42:41,718 --> 02:42:43,186
MEETING FOR THAT LOCATION AND 

4400
02:42:43,186 --> 02:42:47,090
THERE WAS NEIGHBORS WHO CAME 

4401
02:42:47,090 --> 02:42:48,792
FROM THE COMMUNITY WHERE THIS 

4402
02:42:48,792 --> 02:42:49,926
SHELTER LOCATIONS OPENING UP. 

4403
02:42:49,926 --> 02:42:51,561
AND THERE WAS ALSO NEIGHBORS WHO

4404
02:42:51,561 --> 02:42:52,562
CAME THAT LIVED NEARBY ANOTHER 

4405
02:42:52,562 --> 02:42:53,830
TINY HOME VILLAGE AND ANOTHER 

4406
02:42:53,830 --> 02:42:59,703
NEIGHBORHOOD. WHAT WE HEARD SO 

4407
02:42:59,703 --> 02:43:00,370
CLEARLY FROM THOSE NEIGHBORS WHO

4408
02:43:00,370 --> 02:43:01,538
LIVE BY THE EXISTING TINY HOME 

4409
02:43:01,538 --> 02:43:02,672
VILLAGE WAS ABOUT THE BENEFITS 

4410
02:43:02,672 --> 02:43:03,940
TO THEIR COMMUNITY. NEIGHBORS 

4411
02:43:03,940 --> 02:43:10,347
TALKED ABOUT , SOMEBODY SAID, 

4412
02:43:10,347 --> 02:43:11,648
WHEN SOMETHING IS BROKEN I GO 

4413
02:43:11,648 --> 02:43:12,782
AND I CHECK. I TALKED TO 

4414
02:43:12,782 --> 02:43:14,384
SOMEBODY WHO LIVES IN THE TINY 

4415
02:43:14,384 --> 02:43:19,556
HOME VILLAGE BECAUSE HE IS SUPER

4416
02:43:19,556 --> 02:43:20,724
HANDY AND KNOWS HOW TO FIX 

4417
02:43:20,724 --> 02:43:21,591
EVERYTHING. SOMEBODY ELSE SAID, 

4418
02:43:21,591 --> 02:43:22,559
WE HAVE REALLY APPRECIATED WHAT 

4419
02:43:22,559 --> 02:43:23,760
THIS VILLAGE HAS MEANT TO OUR 

4420
02:43:23,760 --> 02:43:24,561
COMMUNITY BECAUSE THERE'S MORE 

4421
02:43:24,561 --> 02:43:25,629
PEOPLE WALKING AROUND. SOME HE 

4422
02:43:25,629 --> 02:43:26,930
SAID THEY HAD AN EXPERIENCE 

4423
02:43:26,930 --> 02:43:27,831
WHERE THEIR HOME WAS BROKEN INTO

4424
02:43:27,831 --> 02:43:29,299
AND IT WAS THE PERSON WHO LIVED 

4425
02:43:29,299 --> 02:43:30,534
IN THE TINY HOME VILLAGE WHO 

4426
02:43:30,534 --> 02:43:32,102
ACTUALLY CALLED 911 BECAUSE THEY

4427
02:43:32,102 --> 02:43:34,237
WERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND 

4428
02:43:34,237 --> 02:43:35,372
THEY HAD BUILT THIS RELATIONSHIP

4429
02:43:35,372 --> 02:43:36,406
AND THEY WERE SHOWING UP AND 

4430
02:43:36,406 --> 02:43:37,908
TAKING CARE OF THEIR NEIGHBORS. 

4431
02:43:37,908 --> 02:43:39,509
I JUST WANT TO REMIND US OF 

4432
02:43:39,509 --> 02:43:41,378
THOSE EXPERIENCES. AND THAT KIND

4433
02:43:41,378 --> 02:43:43,413
OF COMMUNITY. WHEN I THINK ABOUT

4434
02:43:43,413 --> 02:43:45,148
THE WORK THAT WE ARE DOING AND 

4435
02:43:45,148 --> 02:43:47,050
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE 

4436
02:43:47,050 --> 02:43:49,319
PASSED ON THIS LEGISLATION , I 

4437
02:43:49,319 --> 02:43:50,520
HAVE SAID THIS WHOLE TIME, MY 

4438
02:43:50,520 --> 02:43:53,323
UNDERLYING GOAL IS TO ENSURE WE 

4439
02:43:53,323 --> 02:43:54,291
PASS THIS LEGISLATION AND WE 

4440
02:43:54,291 --> 02:43:55,258
HAVE THIS FIRST YEAR OF 

4441
02:43:55,258 --> 02:43:56,793
EXPANSION IN A WAY THAT IS SO 

4442
02:43:56,793 --> 02:44:03,099
SUCCESSFUL THAT WE ARE ABLE TO 

4443
02:44:03,099 --> 02:44:03,834
CONTINUE THIS EXPANSION. BECAUSE

4444
02:44:03,834 --> 02:44:05,001
WE KNOW THE WORK THAT WILL 

4445
02:44:05,001 --> 02:44:06,269
HAPPEN IN THIS FIRST YEAR IS 

4446
02:44:06,269 --> 02:44:07,637
GOING TO BE CRITICAL AND WE ALSO

4447
02:44:07,637 --> 02:44:09,172
KNOW WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO 

4448

02:47:54,798 --> 02:47:58,134
VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOOD . THAT IT

4566
02:48:09,646 --> 02:48:10,647
HISTORICALLY, BEEN AN
