>> FIRST, SAMANTHA FERRELL
FOLLOWED BY LUCA WALKER.
>> HI.
MY NAME IS SAMANTHA AND I'M 15
YEARS OLD AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK
ABOUT THE SEATTLE CHILDREN'S
PLAY GARDEN.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SEATTLE
CHILDREN'S PLAY GARDEN STARTED
WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG.
I USED TO GO THERE FOR SUMMER
CAMPS BECAUSE I HAD SOME
TROUBLE WALKING AND PLAYING ON
REGULAR PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.
THE PLAYGROUND GAVE ME THE
AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
FRIENDS AND PLAY OUTSIDE IN
NATURE.
THE PLAY GARDEN OFFERS SUMMER
CAMPS AND AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS
AND DROP IN PLAY DATES AND MORE
PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO EXPLORE AS A
RESULT AND IT'S A GREAT PLACE
TO MAKE FRIENDS.
>> AT THE SUMMER CAMP THERE ARE
TONS OF KIDS WHO CAN'T
PARTICIPATE, WHO CAN
PARTICIPATE YOU DON'T NORMALLY
HAVE THE OPTION TO DO CAMPS.
THIS CAMP HAS BOTH KIDS IN
WHEELCHAIRS OR OTHER MENTAL
ISSUES RUNNING AROUND SEATTLE
AND PLAYING.
I'VE BEEN ACCOUNTS LET THE
PROGRAM FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS
AND OF EXPERIENCE JUST HOW MUCH
FUN KIDS CAN HAVE RUNNING
AROUND PLAYING WITH ANIMALS
THERE.
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE
REASONS I THINK THE PLAY GARDEN
DESERVES TO HAVE ITS LEASE
EXTENDED FOR MORE CAMPS AND ALL
THE GREAT THINGS THEY DO.
THANK YOU .
>> THANK YOU.
GOOD JOB.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> LUCA WALKER.
>> I KNOW, THEY ARE SO POLITE.
>> I AM LUCA WALKER I AM HERE
TO TALK ABOUT AND TO EXTEND THE
LEASE FOR THE PLAY GARDEN.
THE PLAY GARDEN IS A VERY
WONDERFUL PLACE, I'VE MADE A
LOT OF FRIENDS THERE AND I
REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL
EXTEND THE LEASE .
>> OKAY.
>> TAKE YOUR TIME .
>> BECAUSE YOU LOVE IT .
>> WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT IT?
>>
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
THAT'S FINE, IF YOU'RE DONE
THAT IS FINE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
TALK FOR TWO MINUTES.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> THANK YOU .
>> DID EVERYBODY ELSE HEAR
THAT.
[ APPLAUSE ] YOU DON'T NEED TO
USE THE WHOLE TWO MINUTES .
>> NICK WEISS .
>> HELLO, NICK EXPECT HI THERE.
>> HI MY NAME IS NICK WEISS AND
I'M IN THE OPENPLAY STAFF MEMBER
SINCE APRIL OF THIS YEAR AND I
HAVE ABSOLUTELY FALLEN IN LOVE
WITH WORKING FOR THIS PLAY
GARDEN.
I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO RENEW
THEIR LEASE.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE DISABLED
POPULATIONS AS I GREW UP WITH
CEREBRAL PALSY AND I HAVE
BENEFITED FROM SEATTLE SERVICES
AND I PLAY WHEELCHAIR
BASKETBALL STILL FOR MY OLD
TEAM THAT SENT ME OFF TO
COLLEGE AND ADAPTIVE RECREATION
AND SPORTS PROGRAMS LIKE THAT.
YOU CAN ENCOURAGE MORE
SOCIABILITY FROM PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES, IT SETS THEM UP
FOR THE LONG TERM AND GIVE
SOCIAL BENEFITS AND HEALTH
BENEFITS AND IT REALLY MAKES AN
IMPACT IN THEIR LIVES JUST
BEING GENERALLY HAPPIER.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS BENEFITS
THAT I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO
NAME BUT SO, I AM ON ONE END OF
THE SPECTRUM AS FAR AS I HAVE
THE CAPABILITY I AM AMBULATORY
AND I CAN INTERACT WITH A LOT
OF DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT IN
DIFFERENT PLAYGROUNDS AND
WHATNOT BUT NOT EVERYBODY HAS
THE SAME ABILITY AS I DO.
SO, WE WORK WITH PEOPLE OF ALL
ABILITIES, WHETHER THEY ARE
CHILDREN OR YOUNG ADULTS,
PEOPLE WITH VERY SEVERE
PHYSICAL DISABILITIES OR PEOPLE
WITH INTELLECTUAL AND
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.
IT'S A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN
COME TO JUST HAVE FUN.
THERE IS NO SPACE LIKE TO PLAY
GARDEN GET ITS DESIGNED AROUND
THE KIDS AND THE USE OF THE CITY
AND IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY PERSONAL
PHYSICAL BENEFITS AND I WAS
LIMITED, I WOULD'VE NOT HAD THE
SAME OPPORTUNITIES TO FIGURE OUT
HOW I COULD INTERACT WITH MY
PEERS OR CONTINUE TO LIVE A
REALLY HAPPY LIFE IN PROGRAMS
LIKE THIS MAKE ALL THE
DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD TO
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
SO, PLEASE, RENEW THEIR LEASE
OF THE SEATTLE CHILDREN'S
PLAYGROUND.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
CLAP CLAP
>> DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE
ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD.
WITH THAT WE CLOSE PUBLIC
COMMENT AND MOVED TO THE ITEM

ITEM IN A WE WILL START.

THAT DEPENDS UPON THE
OPPORTUNITIES PEOPLE HAVE TO BE
ABLE TO BE OUTDOORS, TO BE ABLE
TO GATHER TOGETHER AND THE
VALUES AND GOALS OF THE CITY OF
SEATTLE HAVE PUT FORWARD ARE
AROUND LIVABILITY AND
AFFORDABILITY AND ARE CRITICAL.
HOUSING, WHERE PEOPLE LIVE,
HAVING ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO
STAY IN THE COMMUNITIES WERE TO
COME INTO COMMUNITIES WHERE
THEY ARE VIBRANT AND WHERE THEY
ARE DIVERSE AND WHERE THERE IS
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES TO BE

AGUIRRE, PARKS AND RECREATION ,
.
>> I WILL INTRODUCE IT AND THEN
TERRY WILL GO THROUGH AND I'M
SURE LIZ WILL CHIME IN AND
SHARE SOME MORE INFORMATION BUT
THAT JUST BY WAY OF BACKGROUND,
THE CONCEPT OF THE PLAYGROUND
WAS PROPOSED IN 2003 INITIALLY
IN PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE
COFOUNDERS IN SEATTLE PARKS AND
RECREATION AT CULLMAN PARK IN
SOUTH SEATTLE WE ARE EXCITED
THAT THIS MISSION ALIGNS WITH
OUR MISSION, PROVIDING CHILDREN
OF ALL ABILITIES THE SAME
ACCESSIBLE AND SAFE PLACE TO
PLAY AND IMPLEMENT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG ADULTS
WITH DISABILITIES.
WE ENTERED IN THE FORM A LONG-
TERM AGREEMENT IN NOVEMBER 2006
INCLUDING THIS 10 YEAR TERM AND
THEN TWO ADDITIONAL FIVE YEAR
TECH EXTENSIONS UP AT IT'S
FINAL EXPIRATION DATE TO
NOVEMBER 2026.
RECENTLY THE PLAY GARDEN APPLIED
FOR AND WAS AWARDED A GRANT FOR
WASHINGTON STATE IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT AND THIS GRANT REQUIRES
THAT THEY HAVE A LEASE IN PLACE
THAT GOES THROUGH 2029 AND SO
THE THIRD YEAR EXTENSION THAT
WE ARE ASKING FOR IS TO ALLOW
THE PLAYGROUND TO BE ABLE TO
MEET THE GRANT REQUIREMENTS.
THE PLAY GARDEN IS AT 5013 ML
THREE NONPROFIT WHOSE BUDGET IS
OVER $500,000 FOR OPERATING THE
PARK IN THE PROGRAMS.
AND, ONE OF THE PROGRAMS
ALLUDED TO BY THE OPENING PLAY
PROGRAM IS REALLY AN INVALUABLE
PART OF THE PROGRAM AT THE PLAY
GARDEN ENSURING THAT ALL OF THE
INTERACTIVE DEVELOPMENTS AT THE
PLAYGROUND ARE OPEN AND
FUNCTIONING, INCLUDING CARING
FOR THE ANIMALS, GARDENING AND
GAMEPLAYING.
STAFF ALSO ARE TRAINED TO WORK
IN A SAFE PLAY AND INCLUSION.
SINCE 2006, THE PLAYGROUND HAS
INVESTED OVER $3 MILLION IN
ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO
THE FACILITY, IMPROVEMENTS OUT
OF INCLUDED SUMMER CAMPS WHICH
TRANSFORMED TENTS AND PORTER
PARTIES TO A PERMANENT
FACILITY.
THE CREATION OF PERMANENT
GARDENS AND WHEELCHAIR
ACCESSIBLE BASKETBALL COURT.
THE INSTALLATION OF A BONGO
QUARTET MUSICAL'S CULTURE AND A
TREE FORT.
AND THEN STARTED IN 2010 AND IS
SERVE 75 LITTLE ONES IN
PRESCHOOL AND 50% HAVE
DISABILITIES .
>> THANK YOU.
>> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION BUT
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
FOR DOING THIS AND WE FIRST
LOOKED AT THIS AND I HAD
RECOLLECTION OF WE WERE
INVOLVED MANY YEARS BEFORE AND
WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND
THIS IS REALLY HIGHLY IMPORTANT
TO ME IN HIS FIRST WHERE I
LEARNED ABOUT YELLOW SWINGS AND
THE IDEA THAT KIDS OF ALL
ABILITIES CAN COME PLAY AND I
THINK THAT WAS THE THING THAT
TOUCHED ME THE MOST AND THE
WHOLE FAMILY COMES ON THIS AND
THAT LED TO SOME OTHER REALLY
PROFOUNDLY GOOD THINGS THAT
HAPPENED AT SEATTLE CENTER AND
WE LEARNED LONG AGO THAT WE
WANT TO BE AS INCLUSIVE AS
POSSIBLE IN OUR PARKS AND THIS
WAS THE FIRST ONE I WAS AWARE
OF BUT I JUST WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE, SAY THANK YOU AND
SAY OF COURSE I'M SUPPORTING
THIS LEASE SECOND I WOULD SAY
IN FULL DISCLOSURE, I'VE HAD A
CHANCE TO VISIT THE GARDEN BUT
THIS PAST SUMMER MY DAUGHTER
WAS A CAMP PARTICIPANT AND HAD
A FANTASTIC TIME SO THANK YOU .
>> YOU'RE WELCOME .
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. TODAY I HAVE
THE PLEASURE TO PRESENT TO YOU
AN AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING TEN-
YEAR AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE
WITH SEATTLE CHILDREN'S PLAY
GARDEN.
THIS AMENDMENT WILL ADD AN
ADDITIONAL FIVE YEAR TERM TO
THE AGREEMENT WHICH WILL ENABLE
THE CHILDREN TO SEATTLE
CHILDREN'S PLAY GARDEN TO
FINALIZE AN IMAGING PROJECT
THAT WE HAVE IN SOUTHEAST
SEATTLE.
BACK
>> THIS THING MOVES SO IF IT
MAKES IT EASIER FOR YOU .
>> SEATTLE CHILDREN'S PLAY
GARDEN, LOCATED IN SOUTH
SEATTLE ON THE COLEMAN
PLAYGROUND ENCOMPASSES 1 ACRE
OF THE PARK, THIS IS ON 23rd
AVENUE SOUTH LOCATED NEAR THE
JIMI HENDRIX PARK AND THE
NORTHWEST AFRICAN MUSEUM.
IN 2002, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF SEATTLE CHILDREN'S
PLAYGROUND HAD A VISION TO
CREATE AN IMPACT ON THE LIVES
OF FAMILIES WHO HAVE CHILDREN
WITH A DISABILITY OR WITHOUT
DISABILITY TO GIVE THEM A BREAK
FROM THE EXHAUSTING SCHEDULE OF
DOCTORS TUTORING AND CREATED
THE PLAY GARDEN'S VISION.
THIS VISION HAD CORE PRINCIPLES
FOR THE PARK IN THE DESIGN.
THE PARK NEEDED TO BE FULLY
INCLUSIVE, ALL CHILDREN SHOULD
BE ABLE TO PLAY TOGETHER
SAFELY.
THEY NEEDED TO HAVE AN
ADVENTURE PLACE SO CHILDREN CAN
LEARN FROM TAKING RISK
TOGETHER.
THEY ALSO HAD A GARDEN TABLE
PHILOSOPHY WERE CHILDREN WILL
LEARN HOW TO GROW FOOD AND
LEARN HOW TO COOK IT AND EAT IT.
THERE ARE MISSION IS THAT
CHILDREN OF ALL ABILITY WILL
HAVE A SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE AND
ADVENTUROUS PLACE TO PLAY.
>> TO UNDERSTAND LET'S GO BACK,
TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE TODAY
THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE
LEASE HISTORY.
IN 2006, SEATTLE CHILDREN'S
PLAY GARDEN WAS ISSUED A 10
YEAR LEASE WITH TWO FIVE-YEAR
EXTENSIONS.
2016 SEATTLE PARKS AND
RECREATION RENEWED THE
AGREEMENT WITH THE FIVE-YEAR
EXTENSION WHICH WILL EXPIRE IN
2021 WHICH LEAVES THEM WITH ONE
FIVE-YEAR EXTENSION REMAINING
WHICH WILL EXPIRE IN 2026.
GRANTING A THIRD TERM WOULD
ALLOW SEATTLE CHILDREN'S PLAY
GARDEN THE ABILITY TO ACCEPT
WASHINGTON STATE GRANT FUNDING
AND THIS REQUIRES THE RECIPIENT
OF THE GRANT TO BE ON SITE AND
HAVE POSSESSION FOR 10 YEARS
AFTER THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED.
>> TODAY, SEATTLE PARKS AND
RECREATION IS ASKING FOR AN
AMENDMENT TO THE SEATTLE
CHILDREN'S PLAY GARDEN TO ADD
ONE FIVE-YEAR TERM, NO OTHER
TERMS OR CONDITIONS WILL BE
CHANGED WITH THIS AMENDMENT.
JUST LIKE ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY
PARTNERS, WE ARE WORKING IN 2019
TO IMPROVE HOW WE REPORT PUBLIC
BENEFITS THAT ARE IN THE
SEATTLE CHILDREN'S PLAY GARDEN,
AND THE BENEFITS REQUIRED.
THIS THIRD AMENDMENT, IF
APPROVED WOULD ALLOW SEATTLE
CHILDREN'S PLAY GARDEN TO
ACCEPT FUNDING AND FINISH THE
PROJECT. CURRENTLY, SEATTLE
CHILDREN'S PLAY GARDEN IS IN
GOOD STANDING WITH THE CITY AND
HAS DONE AMAZING WORK TO
TRANSFORM THE PARK.
>> THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IN A
LEASE HISTORY, YOU KNOW THAT I
LIKE THAT, SO THANK YOU .
>> I ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW THE
DATES WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENED.
>> SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE
LEASE WITH THE CITY, SEATTLE
CHILDREN'S PLAY GARDEN HAS
PROVIDED PUBLIC BENEFITS THAT
INCLUDE MAINTAINING THE 1 ACRE
SITES INCLUDING THE FACILITY
STRUCTURES AND GRANTS.
THE AMENITIES OF THE PARK
INCLUDE IN 1937 SHELTER HOUSE
WHICH THEY TOTALLY
REHABILITATED AND ADDED A
MULTIUSE FACILITY WHICH THEY
CALLED THE GARDEN HOUSE TO
FURTHER PROGRAMMING.
THEY HAVE A GARDEN, A BASKETBALL
COURSE THAT WAS IMPRUDENT FOR
THE COMMUNITY WITH AN ORCHARD
AND PLAYGROUND IN A FARM THAT
THEY HAVE TREE FOR. HOW FUN IS
THAT?
THE PLAYGROUND HAS ATTRACTED
OVER 7000 VISITORS ON AN ANNUAL
BASIS AND HOST A PRESCHOOL,
SUMMER CAMP SUPERVISED PLAY AND
IT'S ALL-INCLUSIVE.
THEY'VE RAISED OVER $3 MILLION
TO REHABILITATE THE 1937
SHELTER HOUSE, CREATE A
MULTIUSE GARDEN HOUSE IN A 1
ACRE SITE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO
USE.
>> BEFORE YOU GO, THANK YOU FOR
PUTTING IN THE PUBLIC BENEFITS
PIECE, DID YOU DO THAT?
>> YES.
WE'VE BEEN PUSHING THAT ON
CONCESSIONS AND LEASE
AGREEMENTS AND YOU GUYS HAVE
DONE A GREAT JOB THAT THANK YOU
ON THE PUBLIC BENEFITS PIECE
BECAUSE NOW I'M FINDING THAT
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO LIST
WHAT THE PUBLIC BENEFITS ARE
WITH THE OUTREACH THAT YOU'VE
HIT THOSE GOALS AND I APPRECIATE
THAT.
IT TAKES EXTRA WORK AND TIME
BUT I APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> SO LITTLE ABOUT THE PROJECT,
SO SEATTLE CHILDREN'S PLAY
GARDEN HAS A PATHWAY TO PLAY
PROJECT AND WAS AWARDED A
WASHINGTON STATE GRANT TO DO
ADDITIONAL WORK TO THE SITE TO
MAKE IT SAFER BY ADDING AND
IMPROVING THE GATES THAT ARE
THERE TO COMMUNICATE TO THE
COMMUNITY TOGETHER BY PUTTING
INFORMATIONAL KIOSKS AND
SIGNAGE AND IF POSSIBLE TO BE
MORE FUN BY INTERACTIVE PLAY
FEATURES THAT CHILDREN CAN PLAY
TOGETHER.
TO BE ABLE TO GET THE GRANT
FUNDING WHICH IS 70% OF THE
PROJECT FUNDING NEEDED, THEY
HAVE TO HAVE SITE POSSESSION
FOR 10 YEARS AFTER THE PROJECT
IS COMPLETED WHICH MEANS THEY
HAVE TO HAVE POSSESSION OF THE
SITE UNTIL 2030 .
>> CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION, I
KNOW THE CITY IS IN PUTTING ANY
MONEY IN THIS AND I SEE PRIVATE
FOUNDATIONS AND PRIVATE
DONATIONS, I THINK THAT IS THE
FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN AS A CHAIR
OF THE COMMITTEE THAT THERE IS
MORE MONEY AND FUNDING
AVAILABLE FOR THE PROJECT
BUDGET SO, WHO ARE THE PRIVATE
FOUNDATIONS AND DONATIONS,
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
>> THE PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS ARE
BOEING EMPLOYEE COMMUNITY FUND
AS WELL AS OTHER FOUNDATIONS
AND THEN WE DO HAVE FUNDING
FROM KING COUNTY.
THE CITY -- THERE WAS A PHASE
OF THE PROJECT THAT HAPPENED
PREVIOUSLY WHICH WAS THE
RENOVATION OF OUR PLAYGROUND
THAT HAPPENED LAST SUMMER AND
THAT WAS A CITY FUNDING FROM
DEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS BUT
THEN THE PRIVATE DONATIONS,
PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS DONATING TO
THE PLAY GARDEN FOR THIS
PROJECT .
>> THANK YOU.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE
DESIGN AND PICTURES IN THE
PRESENTATION, THIS IS A WELL-
DESIGNED PART PROVIDING GREAT
COMMUNITY SERVICE TO FAMILIES
OF ALL ABILITIES AND IT MATCHES
WITH THE CITY OF SEATTLE VALUES
CREATING A FUN PLACE FOR THE
COMMUNITY TOGETHER, LEARN ABOUT
THE ENVIRONMENT A PLACE TO GROW
FOOD YOU CAN EAT AND IT'S
TOTALLY INCLUSIVE. SEATTLE
CHILDREN'S PLAY GARDEN IN
SEATTLE ARCS AND RECREATION
WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT
FOR THIS AMENDMENT.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS AT THIS TIME .
>> I SAID MY PIECE .
>> DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO
SAY?
>> I'M JUST HERE TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR
THAT EVERYBODY LIKES TO PLAY
GARDEN SO MUCH .
>> THANK YOU, SALLY.
>> YES .
>> GOOD.
OKAY SO I GUESS WE ARE FINISHED
WITH THAT AND WE WILL GO TAKE A
VOTE .
>> I MOVE THAT THE COMMUNITY
PASS COUNTABLE 119648 .
>> THE MOTION HAS BEEN SECONDED
AND ALL OF THOSE IN AYE, FAVOR
SAY AYES HAVE IT WE PASSED THE
COMMITTEE AND PRESENT A FULL
COUNCIL ON MONDAY FOR PASSAGE
OF THE PLAY GARDEN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
>> WELL DONE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH .
>>
>> ITEM 3 COUNSEL BILL 119647,
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE
GENERAL MANAGER AND CEO OF
SEATTLE PUBLIC UTILITIES TO
EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
SEATTLE IN THE MUCKLESHOOT
INDIAN TRIBE FOR THE TRANSFER
AND DURATION OF THE CHESTER
MORSE COLLECTION AND RATIFYING
AND CONFIRMING CERTAIN PRIOR
ACTS.
>> GREAT.
>> HI.
LET'S HAVE YOU GUYS INTRODUCE
YOURSELVES AND THEN WE WILL
START .
>> HELLO .
>> HELLO, I AM AMY LABARGE, THE
INTERIM WATERSHED MANAGEMENT
DIVISION DIRECTOR WITH SEATTLE
PUBLIC UTILITIES .
>> IMES AMY LABARGE, THE ACTING
WATERSHED PUBLIC AND CULTURAL
PROGRAM MANAGER WITH SBU .
>> I AM NICOLE WILLIS, OFFICE
OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
.
>> ARE YOU KICKING US OFF?
>> WE ARE HERE TO REQUEST THE
COMMITTEE APPROVED THE
LEGISLATION BEFORE YOU
AUTHORIZING US YOU TO EXECUTE A
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF SEATTLE AND THE
MUCKLESHOOT INDIAN TRIBE.
FOR THE TRANSFER AND DURATION
OF THE CHESTER MORSE LATE
COLLECTION.
SO HOW DID SBU COME TO POSSESS
THE COLLECTION X IN 1986 THE
U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
ISSUED A PERMIT TO SEATTLE CITY
LIGHT AND SEATTLE WATER
DEPARTMENT FOR SAFETY
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE MASONRY DAM
IN THE CEDAR RIVER WATERSHED
LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES
EAST OF SEATTLE NEAR NORTH BEND.
>> WHILE MITIGATING TO PROTECT
AND PRESERVE CULTURAL RESOURCES
CONVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE
PROJECT, NINE PRE-CONTACT
HUNTER GATHERER SITES WERE
LOCATED ALONG THE SHORES OF
CHESTER MORSE LAKE IN THE CEDAR
RIVER WATERSHED.
>> THE CHESTER MORSE LAKE
ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISTRICT WAS
NOMINATED FOR THE NATIONAL
REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND
INCLUDES ALL NINE OF THOSE
SITES.
BUT AS A RESULT OF THE
EXCAVATION BETWEEN THE SITES IN
1986 AND 1989 THE CITY OF
SEATTLE IS IN POSSESSION OF THE
CHESTER MORSE LATE COLLECTION
CONTAINING ROUGHLY 12,000
PREHISTORIC ARTIFACTS.
>> THESE ARTIFACTS INCLUDE
PROJECTILE POINTS, CORES,
TOOLS, FLAKES AND FIRE ALTERED
ROCKS.
THE ARTIFACTS REPRESENT OVER
9400 YEARS OF HUMAN HABITATION
AROUND CHESTER MORSE LAKE. IN
2017 THE MUCKLESHOOT INDIAN
TRIBE SENT A LETTER TO THE CITY
REQUESTING THAT IT TRANSFER
OWNERSHIP OF THE COLLECTION TO
THE TRIBE. THESE ARTIFACTS HAVE
CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE KNOWN TO
HAVE INHABITED THE AREA.
HE ASKED THE QUESTION IS, IS
WHAT WILL TURN INTO MUCKLESHOOT
AS IT WAS IT JUST ANOTHER THEM
SO THAT THE LAST FEW YEARS IT
WAS THE FIRST EXPRESSED AN
INTEREST IN CAME AND VISITED
THE COLLECTION IN PERSON AND
THEN WE STARTED HAVING
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT THIS WAS
A POSSIBILITY AND WE WOULD BE
OPEN TO IT AND THEN THEY
FORMALLY REQUESTED IT IN 2017 .
>> TO HAVE THESE ARTIFACTS BEEN
ASKED YOU THE WHOLE TIME?
>> CORRECT
>> OKAY .
>> THAT IS STILL A VERY LONG
PERIOD OF TIME THAT WAS THERE A
NOTIFICATION PROCESS AND WHAT
WAS THE PROCESS IF SO AND WHEN
WAS IT COMPLETED?
>> WE NOTIFIED, BECAUSE THERE
ARE SEVERAL OTHER TRIBES AND WE
NOTIFIED THEM ABOUT A YEAR AGO
AND WE ASK THEM TO PROVIDE ANY
FEEDBACK TO US REGARDING THE
TRANSFER OF THE COLLECTION TO
THE MUCKLESHOOT INDIAN TRIBE
WITHIN TWO MONTHS AND TODAY WE
HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK
FROM ANY OF THE TRIBES.
>> SO, DO YOU HAVE OTHER
ARTIFACTS OF OTHER TRIBES?
>> SO, WE DO HAVE OTHER
ARTIFACTS, STILL AWAY FROM THIS
COLLECTION EXPECT YOU KNOW WHAT
TRIBES THEY BELONG TO AND IF
THEY'VE BEEN NOTIFIED?
>> IF YOU DON'T IT'S OKAY AM
JUST WONDERING.
>> IT'S HARD TO TELL WITH ALL
THE ARTIFACTS WHICH ARTIFACTS
BELONG TO WHICH TRIBE .
>> THE TRIBES WOULD TELL YOU IF
IT'S THERE'S I'M JUST WONDERING
WHAT THE PROCESS TO FOLLOW AS
THE COUNCILMAN ASKED AND WE SEE
THIS A LOT AND THAT'S WHY I'M
WONDERING.
>> WE APPROACH ON RECORD TO
INQUIRE AS TO WHAT THE PROCESS
SHOULD BE FOR NOTIFICATION IN
THE BASICALLY SAID IT'S A CITY-
OWNED PROPERTY THE CITY
COLLECTION AND WE MODELED THE
NOTIFICATION PROCESS AFTER THE
FEDERAL PROCESS AND THE FEDERAL
REGISTER AND HOW THEY DO THE
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE IN A
LETTER FORMAT AND SENT IT TO
THE TRIBES.
THE OTHER COLLECTIONS ARE
LIKELY NONTRIBAL, THIS SPECIFIC
COLLECTION IS THE ONE MOST
OBVIOUSLY TRIBAL BUT IT'S NEAR
IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHICH TRIBES
THESE CAME FROM.
WHERE CHESTER MORSE LAKE IS THE
SHORTEST PASSAGE THROUGH THE
MOUNTAINS SO IT WAS A COMMON
THOROUGHFARE AND THAT'S WHY WE
CAST A WIDE NET IN NOTIFYING
MANY DIFFERENT TRIBES .
>> SO YOU DON'T HAVE A
KENNEWICK MAN IN THEIR?
>> WHAT?
>> [ LAUGHTER ] THAT GOOD, JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE WE
ARE CURIOUS BECAUSE WE WILL
PROBABLY HEAR MORE ABOUT THIS
FROM OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS AS
WELL, I KNOW WE ARE DEALING
WITH IT WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF
WASHINGTON AT THE MUSEUM AND
THE RETURN OF THE PATCH
RELATION OF A TON OF STUFF THAT
IS WHY THIS STRUCK ME AS
INTERESTING AND HOW THEY WERE
GETTING IT BACK TO THE RIGHTFUL
OWNERS .
>> I'M FOLLOWING UP ON WHAT YOU
SAID, I APPRECIATE THAT YOU
CAST A WIDE NET, ONE OF THE
THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM THE
PALS ON EITHER SIDE OF ME IS
THAT IT TAKES IS REACHING OUT
TO PEOPLE AND REALLY, NOT JUST
FOLLOWING THE FORMAT THAT THE
CORPS OF ENGINEERS MY TELL US
BUT FINDING THE CONTACT WITHIN
THE TRIBES AND THE ELDERS TO
SAY WE HAVE THIS AND DO YOU
WANT TO PARTICIPATE, IF YOU
FEEL LIKE YOU'VE DONE THAT, I
APPRECIATE IT .
>> THESE ARTIFACTS BELONG TO
THE TRIBAL ANCESTORS AND
PROVIDE INFORMATION TO
UNDERSTAND HOW THEY LIVED AND
INTERACTED WITH EACH OTHER IN
THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
SEATTLE PUBLIC UTILITY STRONGLY
SUPPORTS THE RETURN OF THE
COLLECTION TO THE TRIBAL
COMMUNITY AND, AS WE AGREE THE
TRIBE SHOULD MAKE THE ULTIMATE
DECISIONS ABOUT THE LONG-TERM
STEWARDSHIP OF THESE CULTURAL
RESOURCES .
>> ARE THESE THE ONLY ONES?
>> NO, THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY
12,000 ARTIFACTS THIS IS JUST
ONE SAMPLE .
>> THIS IS JUST FIVE OF THEM .
>> OH WOW, YOU DID ALL THIS FOR
12 THINGS.
>> OKAY THERE ARE BOXES AND
BOXES AND THOUSANDS OF THEM.
>> OH WOW .
>> HAVE YOU GONE THROUGH AND
IDENTIFIED WHAT THEY ARE ARE
THEY BEING DISPLAYED OR ALL
12,000 IN A BOX?
>> THEY ARE BEING STORED AT THE
WATERSHED EDUCATION CENTER.
WE HAVE USED THEM TO A LIMITED
DEGREE IN THE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS BUT THERE ARE 12,000
OF THEM .
>> OKAY.
I'M GUESSING YOU WILL BE BACK
AT SOME OTHER POINT WITH
ANOTHER BOX .
>> OKAY, THANK YOU.
WE LOOKED AT THE TRIBE TO DRAFT
AN AGREEMENT FOR THE TRANSFER
AND DURATION OF THE COLLECTION.
THEY STIPULATE THAT THE CITY
WILL DELIVER THE COLLECTION TO
THE TRIBE REPOSITORY, A
FEDERALLY APPROVED AUTHORITY
WITHIN 90 DAYS OF EXECUTION OF
THE AGREEMENT.
IT FURTHER STATES THAT THE
COLLECTION MAY BE EXHIBITED,
PHOTOGRAPHED OR OTHERWISE
REPRODUCED AND STUDIED IN
ACCORDANCE AND FROM SEATTLE
PUBLIC UTILITIES PERSPECTIVE IT
WAS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE
COLLECTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE
FOR OTHER TRIBES AND FOR THE
PUBLIC FOR CONTINUED RESEARCH
IN THE FUTURE.
WITH THAT BACKGROUND WE REQUEST
THAT THE COMMITTEE APPROVED THE
LEGISLATION FOR THE EXECUTION
OF THE EMILY BETWEEN THE CITY
OF SEATTLE IN THE MUCKLESHOOT
INDIAN TRIBE FOR THE TRANSFER
AND DURATION OF THIS COLLECTION
.
>> IS ANYONE HERE FROM THE
TRIBE?
>> WE HAVE LET THEM KNOW IN
LORI IS WORKING TO CURATE THE
COLLECTION .
>> I DID NOTICE A CHAIRPERSON
OF THE TRIBAL COUNCIL SIGNING
THE AGREEMENT .
>> GREAT, LOOKS GOOD .
>> ANYTHING ELSE FROM YOUR
COLLEAGUES?
ANY OTHER BOXES WE NEED TO DRAG
OUT CAR WE OKAY NICOLE QUESTION
MARK
>> THAT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY I
THINK FOR THE CITY IN THE
TRIBE, SOMETHING WE ARE HAPPY
TO HAND OVER TO THEM AND I
GUESS I JUST REITERATE THAT
THEY HAVE ASSURED US THAT THEY
WILL KEEP IT OPEN TO US AND TWO
OTHER TRIBES WHO ARE INTERESTED
IN STUDYING IT SINCE WE CAN'T
EFFECTIVELY SAY ALL OF THESE
ARE MUCKLESHOOT ITEMS .
>> NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
>> OKAY SO WITH THAT WE WILL GO
AHEAD AND I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE
THAT THE COMMITTEE PASS COUNTS
OF THE 119647 .
>> ALL AYE,THOSE IN FAVOR,
THOSE OPPOSED, THE AYES HAVE
IT AND THEREFORE WE WILL
PRESENTED TO FULL COUNSEL .
>> THANK YOU .
>> THANK YOU GUYS .
>> THANK YOU .
>> YOU WILL BE BACK WITH MORE
SAMPLES LATER .
>> HILARIOUS
>> ITEM FOR COUNSEL BILL 119
655, AN ORDINANCE RELATING THE
SEATTLE MONORAIL, PROVING A
LETTER OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
SEATTLE MONORAIL SERVICES AND
THE SEATTLE CENTER DEPARTMENT
AUTHORIZING THE SEATTLE CENTER
DIRECTOR TO NEGOTIATE AND
EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE
MONORAIL CONCESSION AGREEMENT
PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED WITH THE
ORDINANCE 124674 ON TERMS
CONSISTENT WITH THE LETTER OF
AGREEMENT WHICH INCLUDE BUT ARE
NOT LIMITED TO ONE REGIONAL
CARD FOR ALL KNOWN AS ORCA,
SMARTCAD IS A FORM OF FAIR
PAYMENT ON THE MONORAIL
ALIGNMENT OF THE MONORAIL FARE
STRUCTURE WITH ORCA AND
AMENDMENT OF OTHER FAIR TYPES
ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRAINING A
SCHEDULE FOR FUTURE INFLATION-
BASED AFFAIRS ADJUSTMENTS,
EXTENSION OF THE TERM OF THE
CONCESSION AGREEMENT THROUGH
2034, AND EXTENSION OF THE
CONCESSIONAIRE'S RIGHT TO
PURSUE MONORAIL SYSTEM NON-FAIR
REVENUES TO 2039, CONDITIONS
UPON CONCESSIONAIRE MAKING
PRIVATELY FUNDED IMPROVEMENTS
TO THE WEST LAKE STATION AND
RATIFYING THE CONFIRMING
CERTAIN PRIOR ACTS .
>> SO, BEFORE WE BEGIN I WILL
JUST SAY THIS BRIEFLY, GO AHEAD
AND DO YOUR INTRODUCTIONS THAN
I HAVE A FEW THINGS TO STAY AND
I WILL LET YOU START BUT GO
AHEAD .
>> BRIAN GOODNIGHT, CENTRAL
COUNSEL STAFF.
SPECTRA 19, GENERAL MANAGER FOR
SEATTLE MONORAIL SERVICES,
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE
TODAY .
>> ROBERT NELLAMS, SEATTLE
CENTER DIRECTOR .
>> I WANT TO SAY WE MET A
COUPLE TIMES ABOUT THIS AND
IT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2014.
JUST BRIEFLY I THINK THE MAIN
GOAL HERE IS THAT WE HAVE IT SO
THAT THE MONORAIL SYSTEM
PARTICIPATES IN NETWORKS OR
PROGRAM.
THIS IS THREE THINGS WE WILL
TALK ABOUT WEEKLY AND WE WILL
LAUNCH INTO THE DETAILSOF OUR
COLLEAGUES AND THEY WILL
ESTABLISH THE TERMS IN WHICH
THEY WILL IMPLEMENT THEIR
REGIONAL CARD ORCA IS A FORM OF
PAYMENT SO THEY CAN PARTICIPATE
IN THE ORCA PROGRAM. IT ALSO
INCLUDES PROVISIONS REGARDING
SMS TO MAKE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
FOR STATION IMPROVEMENTS FOR
ACCESSIBILITY AND CONNECTIONS
AND AUTHORIZE CHANGES TO THE
FAIR CATEGORY TO ALIGN WITH
ORCA REQUIREMENTS AND EXTENDING
THE TERMS OF CONCESSION FOR AN
ADDITIONAL 10 YEARS THROUGH 2034
WE CAN RATIFY AND CONFIRM WHAT
YOU'VE DONE WITH THE LETTER OF
AGREEMENT WITH THAT I WILL LET
YOU GO AHEAD .
>> IS THAT IT?
>> I WOULD LIKE TO START BY
SAYING I COULDN'T BE MORE
PLEASED TO BE HERE IT'S BEEN A
LONG TIME COMING AND SO, THIS
IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN WORKING
ON DILIGENTLY FOR THE LAST FEW
YEARS.
SO, WE WERE GIVING KEY POLICY
DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL WAY
BACK WHEN IN 2014 AND SO THAT
THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL
COMPLY WITH THE COUNCILS
DIRECTION AND FULLY INTEGRATES
THE MONORAIL INTO THE ORCA
NETWORK.
THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL
LEVERAGE SIGNIFICANT PRIVATE
INVESTMENT AND CITY ASSETS AND,
NAMELY THE MONORAIL STATIONS
AND WILL INCREASE CAPACITY AND
THE ABILITY TO MOVE PEOPLE TO
AND FROM, NOT JUST THE LIGHT
RAIL STATION BUT DOWNTOWN TO
SEATTLE CENTER WHICH WILL BE
HUGE ONCE THE ARENA OPENS.
THIS AGREEMENT WILL INCREASE
FARES UNDER THE EXISTING
AUTHORITY THAT WE HAVE IN THE
CURRENT AGREEMENT AND THE ONE
WAYFAIR WILL GO FROM $2.50 TO
THREE DOLLARS.
SO, THOSE ARE THE THREE THINGS
THAT WE WILL START WITH. I
WOULD LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THE AGREEMENT ITSELF.
SO, LITTLE HISTORY, SINCE THE
MADAM CHAIRS THAT SHE LIKES TO
KNOW WHEN THINGS ACTUALLY
STARTED THAT WE GO BACK TO THE
ORDINANCE 124674, BACK IN 2014
THAT WAS AN ORDINANCE WHICH HAD
AN AMENDMENT ADDED AT THE TABLE
TO IDENTIFY ORCA AS A POTENTIAL
FAIR PAYMENT FOR ACCESS AND THE
LANGUAGE WAS MADE BY A FORMAL
COUNCILMEMBER AND ASK FIRST
STEPS FOR THE CITY AND THE
CONCESSIONAIRE TO LOOK AT THE
FINANCIAL IMPACT OF IMPLEMENTING
WORK ON THE MONORAIL. SO
BETWEEN 2014 AND 2017, THOSE OF
YOU WHO WERE CONSULTING PEOPLE
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ACTUAL
IMPACT MIGHT BE AND
UNFORTUNATELY WE NEVER CAME TO
A REAL AGREEMENT AND SO BETWEEN
2017 AND NOW WE'VE BEEN GOING
BACK AND FORTH TO DETERMINE AND
AGREE ON WHAT THE FINANCIAL
IMPACTS ARE BUT THE AMENDMENT
WILL ADDRESS A FEW THINGS .
>> THE AMENDMENT WILL ESTABLISH
THE TERMS UNDER WHICH S&S WILL
IMPLEMENT THE ONE REGIONAL CARD
FOR ALL OR ORCA SMARTCARD AND
FORM OF PAYMENT.
IT WILL INCLUDE PROVISIONS FOR
S&S TO MAKE MAJOR CAPITAL
INVESTMENTS FOR STATION
IMPROVEMENTS TO IMPROVE THE
CAPACITY ACCESSIBILITY TO OTHER
TRANSIT SYSTEMS AT WESTLAKE AND
THE SEATTLE CENTER STATION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHANGES AND FEAR
CATEGORIES OF THE MONORAIL
FARES WILL ALIGN WITH OTHER
ORCA PRODUCTS.
THESE ARE PART OF WHERE WE'RE
GOING?
FOR US TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
ORCA PROGRAM SO WE CAN'T JUST
SAY WERE GOING TO PARTICIPATE,
WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE
SPONSORED BY ONE OF THE
CONTROLLING OR ORCA AGENCIES,
KING COUNTY WILL BE THE SPONSOR
AND ATTACHED TO THE LETTER OF
AGREEMENT IS AN AFFILIATE
AGREEMENT THAT IS ALREADY BEEN
NEGOTIATED WITH KING COUNTY TO
CARRY THAT PEACE OUT.
SO, WE ARE READY TO GO THERE.
IN ANTICIPATION OF PASSAGE OF
AN AMENDMENT THAT WE BASICALLY
HAVE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
SEATTLE MONORAIL SERVICE AND
SEATTLE CENTER TO START ORCA AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE AS WE WILL
OPEN AND IMPLEMENT ORCA ON
OCTOBER 7 OF THIS YEAR AND,
MEGAN CAN TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT HOW THAT'S GONNA GO BUT
WE WILL GO FULL SPEED AHEAD
BECAUSE THAT REALLY IS THE
MANDATE OF WHAT THE REAL
BENEFIT IS GETTING THE PROGRAM
AND THE PRODUCT OUT THERE TO
HAVE PEOPLE USING IT AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE, SO THAT IS WHAT WE
WILL BE DOING.
>> THE LOA LAYS OUT THE
PROPOSED TERMS FOR THE
CONCESSION AGREEMENT AMENDMENT
AND I CAN WALK YOU THROUGH A
FEW OF THOSE THINGS, IT'S GOING
TO BE A 10 YEAR EXTENSION OF
THE AGREEMENT FROM 2024 TO
2034.
THERE'S A CONDITIONAL FIVE YEAR
EXTENSION TO THAT BECAUSE THERE
IS A SCALE OF CAPITAL
INVESTMENT THAT'S PART OF THE
AGREEMENT THE SCALE GOES FROM A
MINIMUM OF 3.5 MILLION TO A
MAXIMUM OF 12 MILLION AND TO
GET THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT
THAT ALLOWS FOR THE DEBT
SURFACE TO BE PAID FOR, IF YOU
ACTUALLY INVEST AT THE 12
MILLION LEVEL, YOU ARE PROBABLY
RETURNED OR HAD YOUR RETURN ON
INVESTMENT AT THE END OF 34, SO
WE ARE GRANTING AN ADDITIONAL
FIVE-YEAR PERIOD FOR SMS TO
MAINTAIN MERCHANDISE AND
PROMOTIONAL REVENUE TO OFFSET
THE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
INVESTMENT BEING MADE.
THE AGREEMENT WILL LAY OUT THAT
THE CITY WILL PAY ALL THE
STARTUP COSTS FOR THIS IN THE
INITIAL AFFILIATIONS FEES, ONCE
THE ARENA OPENS, THE
AFFILIATION FEES WILL BECOME
PART OF THE NET OPERATING
INCOME FOR THE MONORAIL ITSELF.
THE CITY HAD A GUARANTEED FLOOR
AND BASICALLY SAID NO MATTER
WHAT YOU WILL PAY US THIS
AMOUNT BUT WE REMOVE THAT FROM
THE EQUATION AND THAT IS PART
OF THE NEGOTIATIONS AND WE
NEVER GONE BELOW BUT WE WILL
HAVE GONE BELOW THE FLOORS
BECAUSE WE WILL BE PAYING ORCA
START OFF COSTS OUT OF THE
REVENUE ETC.
SO, THAT IS ONE THING BUT OVER
THE LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT YOU
WILL ACTUALLY GET MORE REVENUE
PROJECTED THROUGH THE AGREEMENT
THAN IF WE WEREN'T DOING THIS .
>> AS I SAID BEFORE THE FEAR
CATEGORIES WILL ALIGN WITH ORCA
FEAR CATEGORIES.
I MENTIONED THE MINIMUM FOR
STATION IMPROVEMENTS AND WE ARE
ALSO MODIFYING AND SHARING
ASSOCIATED FEES AND IT'S ONE
THIRD TO SMS ONCE THE CAPITAL
INVESTMENT IS MADE , A 6040
SPLIT.
THESE ARE KIND OF THE BONES OF
WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE ARE
WORKING AND HOPEFULLY NEXT
MONTH WE WOULD HAVE THE
AMENDMENT DONE BUT WITH YEAR-
END BUDGET THIS IS THE LAST
CHANCE BEFORE THE END OF THE
YEAR FOR US TO GET IN FRONT OF
YOU AND PLEASE LOOK AT THIS, WE
THINK IT'S GONNA BE A BENEFIT
FOR THE COMMUNITY.
WE HAD A PUBLIC HEARING A WEEK
OR SO AGO AND TODAY IS THE LAST
DAY OF PUBLIC COMMENT, THE
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND THAT
WE ARE OVERWHELMINGLY
SUPPORTIVE OF HAVING ORCA BE
ACCEPTED.
THE ONLY ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN
RAISED HAVE BEEN ABOUT FARES
AND A FEW PEOPLE WOULD LIKE
EVERYTHING ALIGNED WITH WHAT
METRO DOES. METRO IS A
SUBSIDIZED SYSTEM AND AND
THERE'S NOT EXACTLY APPLES TO
APPLES BUT FOR THE VAST
MAJORITY OF ORCA USERS YOU WILL
BE A SEAMLESS TRANSITION AND
THEY WILL TAP THEIR CARDS TO
RIDE THE MONORAIL AS PART OF
THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.
SO WITH THAT, I WILL EXHALE AND
SAY, I GIVE MEGAN AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU WHAT
THE IMPLEMENTATION WILL BE
STARTING ON OCTOBER 7 IF YOU'RE
INTERESTED IN HEARING THAT OR
IF YOU'D RATHER GO TO QUESTIONS
I LEAVE THAT INTO YOUR CAPABLE
HANDS .
>> I WAS READING TOO FAST AND I
SHOULD MAKE A CORRECTION, WHAT
I SHOULD'VE SAID IS WE ARE HERE
TO APPROVE A LETTER OF
AGREEMENT TO GIVE YOU THE
AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE THE
AMENDMENT TO THE ORIGINAL
CONCESSION AGREEMENT SO I WANT
TO CORRECT THE RECORD ON THAT I
READ MY NOTES TO QUICKLY, SO I
WILL LET YOU GO AHEAD AND GO TO
YOUR POWERPOINT .
>> AS I SAID BEFORE, THAT'S
WHAT WE HAVE .
>> THAT WAS IT, OKAY .
>> I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM
YOU AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE
WORK .
>> SO, MAKING, GENERAL MANAGER
FOR THE MONORAIL AND I WANT TO
THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING US
HERE TODAY.
WE ARE THRILLED AND IT HAS
BEEN, AS ROBERT ALLUDED, A
JOURNEY BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO BE
HERE.
SO, IN TERMS OF HOW ORCA WILL
WORK AT THE MONORAIL KING
COUNTY METRO HAS PROVIDED US
WITH PORTABLE HANDHELD DEVICES.
SO, SIMILAR TO IF YOU'VE EVER
BOARDED A BUS FROM THE REAR OF
THE BUS AND THEY HAVE SUMMARY
WITH A PORTABLE DEVICE HELPING
TO GET PEOPLE ON BOARD THAT WE
HAVE THOSE DEVICES AT ALL
POINTS OF SALE AND AS A
PASSENGER YOU WILL WALK UP TO
THE CASHIER, PRESENT YOUR ORCA
CARD TO THE CASHIER AND THE
CASHIER WILL TAP YOUR DEVICE OR
TOP THE CARD ON THE DEVICE AND
THEN YOU WILL ENTER AND BOARD
THE MONORAIL.
SO, OUR FAIR STRUCTURE WILL
ALIGN WITH KING COUNTY METRO.
ONE OF THE BIG CHANGES FOR US
WILL BE THAT OUR YOUTH FAIR,
WHICH USED TO BE AGES FIVE
THROUGH 12, WILL NOW BE
CHANGING TO BE AGES SIX THROUGH
18.
SO WE WILL COVER A MUCH WIDER
RANGE UNDER A YOUTH FAIR AND
OTHER CHANGES WILL BE
PARTICIPATING IN PRODUCING
PRODUCE FARES FOR SENIORS,
DISABLED AND PEOPLE ELIGIBLE
FOR A LIFT THAT WILL COME TO
THE MONORAIL AS WELL.
WE WILL ACCEPT TRANSFERS ON
ORCA CARS.
WE WON'T TAKE PAPER TRANSFERS
BUT THE TRANSFERS THAT OCCUR ON
ORCA CARDS WE WILL PARTICIPATE
IN AS WELL .
>> AND JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THAT
THE TRANSFER IS THE SPECIFIC
LANGUAGE IN THE SYSTEM AT THAT
TRANSFER BASICALLY SAYS THAT IF
YOU GO FROM ONE MODE TO ANOTHER
MODE IF YOU DO THAT WITHIN A
TWO HOUR PERIOD THE SECOND RIDE
IS FREE .
>> TO SEATTLE CENTER, YOU CAN'T
POSSIBLY GET DONE IN TWO HOURS?
>> [ LAUGHTER ]
>> BUT YOU COULD GET BACK ON
FREE TO WEST LAKE .
>> THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT .
>> IT'S ALL THE ORCA PRODUCTS
AND EVERYONE FROM DOWNTOWN
USING THE MONORAIL TO GET TO
SEATTLE CENTER, THE ELEPHANT IN
THE ROOM IS THAT WE KNOW WE ARE
DOING THIS BECAUSE WE ARE
REDEVELOPING TO THE TUNE OF
$1.6 BILLION, SEATTLE CENTER WE
ANTICIPATE WE MORE PEOPLE
COMING IN MOVING PEOPLE LACK
CAPACITY.
THANK YOU, ROBERT, I KNOW THIS
IS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2014,
AND WE LOOKED AT THE AFFILIATED
AGREEMENTS, LET ME ASK A QUICK
QUESTION, WHY DID IT TAKE SO
LONG FOR KING COUNTY TO BE THE
SPONSOR FOR THE AFFILIATE?
>> IS THAT MORE COMPLICATED
THAN --?
>> I DON'T GET TO KING COUNTY
THAT LONG BUT I THINK THE
REALITY FROM KING COUNTY WAS,
UNTIL YOU GUYS ACTUALLY GET AN
AGREEMENT THAT WE REALLY DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO SPONSOR.
BUT WE WILL ACTUALLY MAKE
SOMETHING HAPPEN AND WE CAN
MAKE THIS WORK BUT IT WAS ON US
AND IT'S NOT ON THEM THEY WANT
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ROBERT
KELLEY LEADERSHIP HERE IN 2014
ND WE WORKED ON THAT BUT THE
GUY THAT IS MADE THE MONORAIL
MOVE, HOW DIFFICULT WOULD THIS
HAVE BEEN A, I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BUT I ALSO
LOVE THE FACT THAT THE WESTLAKE
CENTER IS GOING TO BE UPGRADED.
WE KNOW, FOR YEARS THAT IT FELT
LIKE IT TURNED HER BACK ON
DOWNTOWN NOW, THANKS TO ALAN
HART, TO YOU, TO TOM WE ARE
TURNING THAT BACK AND IT
BECOMES A COOL PLACE AND PEOPLE
GETTING OFF WEST LAKE STATION
CAN GET OFF THERE AND GO RIGHT
UP TO THE MONORAIL WITH THE
INTERMODAL TRANSFER, JUST JUMP
RIGHT ON.
AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE
TARGET DATE IS SEPTEMBER 2021.
I WONDER WHY THAT IS, .
>> I ALSO WANT TO SAY TO
COUNCILMEMBER WAR IS.
WE WILL HAVE THE NORTHGATE
STATION OPEN AT THAT TIME AND
SO WITH HOCKEY BEING A BIG DEAL
AT SEATTLE CENTER AND THANKS TO
COUNCILMEMBER WAR IS THAT WE
WILL HAVE THREE PRACTICE ARENAS
AT NORTHGATE SO PEOPLE CAN GET
THEIR AND BACK.
JUST THE REGIONAL VIEW, IT'S
VERY HEARTENING TO ME AND A FEW
YEARS AFTER THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE
AT THE 130th STREET STATION AND
LINWOOD COMING BACK AGAIN.
COUNCILMEMBER WAR IS YOU'VE
BEEN A CHAMPION ON THAT SO
THANK YOU.
I AM FRANKLY THRILLED BY THIS
BECAUSEHAVING THE INTEGRATED
SYSTEM IS WHAT WILL MAKE THIS
WORK AND I KNOW WITH YOU AND
MARSHALL AND WHAT OTHERS HAVE
TOLD ME IS THAT PEOPLE WILL GET
TO THE GAMES AND THEY STOP AT
RESTAURANTS AND WE HOPE THEY DO
IN BELLTOWN AND UPTOWN AND
SOUTH LAKE UNION BUT WHEN THE
GAMES OVER, THEY WANT OUT.
I THINK YOU HAVE POINTED TO 5
TO 6000 RIDERS THAT WE CAN
ACCOMMODATE AND TO GET PEOPLE
BACK DOWN TO WEST LAKE, PEOPLE
CAN DO THAT AND LEAVE THEIR
CARS AT HOME BUT WE HAVE TO
GIVE OPTIONS AS OF THE VISION
IS THRILLING AND I'M GRATEFUL
TO YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT
WORKING WITH THAT I WILL
SUPPORT THIS .
>> THANK YOU.
>> JUST A COUPLE POINTS, I
DON'T WANT TO HAVE THEM LOST.
THE ARENA WILL BE A HUGE DRIVER
AND BENEFACTOR FROM THIS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES ME
VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS IS THE
OTHER RESIDENT ORGANIZATIONS AT
SEATTLE CENTER WILL BE HUGE
BENEFACTORS ALSO BECAUSE AS
MORE EVENTS HAPPEN AT THE ARENA
AND PEOPLE HAVE TO MAKE CHOICES
ABOUT HOW TO GET THERE IF WE
CAN GIVE THEM THESE KINDS OF
OPTIONS THAT ALLOW THEM A
SEAMLESS RIDE FROM A LIGHT RAIL
STATION TO SEATTLE CENTER THEN
WE CAN ACCOMMODATE MORE .
>> WE DIDN'T GET THIS UNTIL
VERY LATE THAT HE WAS VERY
GRACIOUS WITH HIS PATIENCE WITH
US AND WORKED WITH US TO MAKE
SURE WE COULD ANSWER QUESTIONS
I JUST WANT TO THANK THEM FOR
THEIR GRACIOUSNESS YOU SHOWN
THROUGH THIS PROCESS .
>> I WANT TO THANK BRIAN
BECAUSE WE HAVE A LONGER RUNWAY
, PARTICULARLY WITH THIS
HISTORY, THANK YOU MEGAN FOR
WHAT YOU ADDED AND THANK YOU
FOR THE MEETING AND THE
DEADLINE.
I KNOW I SPOKE TO THE MAYOR
ABOUT THIS AS WELL AND THIS IS
THE LAST COMMITTEE HEARINGS WE
WANT TO GET THIS STUFF DONE AND
BRIAN AS WELL TO COME BACK AND
NOW WE WILL MOVE FORWARD ON THE
AMENDMENT, IS THAT OKAY?
>> I HAVE AN AMENDMENT THAT'S
BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO MY
COLLEAGUES, YOU GUYS SHOULD
HAVE IT ON THE PINK PAPER.
THIS ADDS THAT THE DIRECTOR OF
SEATTLE CENTER ASSESSMENT THE
AMENDED AND CONCESSION AGREEMENT
TO THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE.
I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK OF
THE DIRECTOR TO EXPAND MONORAIL
SERVICES FOR THE CITY.
>> THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
WE ASK IT APPROPRIATE TO BRING
THE FINAL REPORT BACK FROM THE
DIRECTOR AND THIS IS WHERE
BRIAN DRAFTED THIS AMENDMENT
FOR US TO INSERT SECTION 3 ON
PAGE 3 AND LINE 14.
WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU
IS NOT THE AMENDED DO YOU HAVE
THE ACTUAL AMENDMENT ITSELF.
SO, WITH THAT I MOVE THAT THE
COMMUNITY PASS AMENDMENT NUMBER
ONE .
>> SECOND THE MOTION HAS BEEN
MOVED AND SECONDED ALL THOSE IN
FAVOR SAY I AND AS OPPOSED SAY
NO .
>> SO IT PASSES AS AMENDED TO
SO I MOVE THE COMMITTEE PASS
COUNSEL BILL 119655 AS AMENDED

GOOD THINGS AND WE WILL BRING

>> LET ME WRAP THIS UP THE
COMMITTEE WORK UP BEFORE WE
ADJOURN LET ME MAKE A FEW
STATEMENTS.
ALL OF THE ITEMS TODAY WILL BE
ON CITY COUNCIL FOR A FINAL
VOTE ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23.
WE ARE HEADED FOR BUDGET SEASON
AND THE MAYOR WILL PROPOSE HER
BUDGET ON MONDAY AND THEN THE
CITY WILL LEGISLATE TO FINALIZE
THE BUDGET AND THAT WOULD BE
LEGISLATING AND THERE WILL BE A
MEETING FOR THIS IS WEDNESDAY,
DECEMBER 4 FOR THIS COMMITTEE.
WITH THAT, WE STAND ADJOURNED.
