OVER THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE SEEN
REPEATED FAILURES OF EVERY
ASPECT OF OUR POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
LAST WEEK THE OFFICE OF
INSPECTOR GENERAL RELEASED THE
FINDINGS ON THE POLICE ABUSE OF
2020 FROM A PANEL WHERE MORE
THAN HALF OF THE MEMBERS WERE
PART OF THE FAILED SYSTEM
OUTRAGELY INCLUDING FIVE
OFFICERS THAT HAVE LONG HISTORY
OF ABUSING PROTESTORS AND
OTHERS.
OUT OF THE 180 COMPLETED
INVESTIGATIONS REPRESENTING
THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLY
THREE OFFICERS REPRESENTING
LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF
COMPLAINTS HAVE RECEIVED OTHER
THAN A REPRIMAND WITH TWO
OFFICERS RECEIVING TWO DAYS
PENSION.
BEFORE SPD KILLED JOHN
WILLIAMS, 22 PEOPLE WERE KILLED
BY SPD.
DURING THE DECADE THE HOUSE IS
AT 30.
HOW IS THIS PROGRESS OR
ACCOUNTABILITY.
WE NEED FULL DISCIPLINE.
GO TO SEATTLESTOP.ORG.
THANK YOU.
>>> NEXT IS JACOB SHEER
FOLLOWED BY JARED BROWN.
>> THANK.
I AM JACOB SHEER AND ORGANIZER
WITH REAL CHANGE AND CALLING ON
BEHALF OF THEM AND FULL SUPPORT
OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE TO
ACKNOWLEDGE AND ATTONE FOR ITS
ACT OF COMPLICITY AND TO
REINVEST IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THERE IS A DIRECT CONNECTION
BETWEEN THE CURRENT HOUSING
CRISIS AND THE RATE OF
DISPLACEMENT POLICIES OF THE
CITY OF SEATTLE ENACTED IN THE
60s.
BLACK FAMILIES WERE UPROOTED
FROM THEIR COMMUNITY AND
DISPLACED AND UNDER THE GUISE
OF URBAN RENEWAL.
ALL AT THE HANDS OF THE CITY OF
SEATTLE.
HOMELESSNESS IMPACTS COMMUNITY
OF COLOR BECAUSE OF RACES WILL
POLICIES.
THEY CONTINUE TO REVERB BERET.
WE NEED COUNCIL TO GO BEYOND
RHETORIC.
WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING
CRISIS WITH ACKNOWLEDGING THE
HISTORY AND THE COMMUNITIES
IMPACTED BY IT.
THANK YOU.
>> NEXT UP IN JARED BROWN
FOLLOWED BY JEREMY VOSS.
>> HI.
THIS IS JARED BROWN IN SOUTH
SEATTLE.
THANK YOU CITY COUNCIL.
I'M CALLING TO DISCUSS THE NW
EXCHANGE PROPOSAL.
THIS BILL LIMITS THE SP D'S
ABILITY TO CORRESPONDENT WITH
ORGANIZATIONS.
ACCORDING TO THE PROVISIONS.
THE SP D WOULD HE PREVENTED
FROM COORDINATING WITH OTHER
COUNTRIES.
HOW CAN THE SP D BE EFFECTIVE
FIT CAN'T PARTNER AND SHARE
INTELLIGENCE WITH ALLIES AND
OUR OWN COUNTRY.
THIS ORDINANCE DOES NOT ADD
JUST THE VIOLENCE THAT SPD HAS
TO LEARN AND ADDRESS THE
EXCESSIVE FORCE.
IT DOES WASTE THE TIME OF THE
CITY COUNCIL WHEN WE CAN FOCUS
ON SOLUTIONS AND EXCESSIVE
FORCE IN SEATTLE.
I ASK THAT YOU OPPOSE THIS
ORDINANCE AND FOCUS ON THE
MAKING A DIFFERENCES IN SEATTLE
LIVES.
>>> NEXT UP IS JEREMY VOSS.
>> HI.
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> YES.
>> MY NAME IS JEREMY VOSS AND
I'M A PRESIDENT IN DISTRICT
TWO.
I GREW UP IN THE SUEHART
COMMUNITY AND SPEAKING IN FAVOR
OF THE BILL.
THESE TRAININGS THAT SP D DOES
ARE FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN
THE PARTNER COUNTRY AS WELL AS
SEATTLE.
NOT ONLY DO THESE EXCHANGES
LEGITIMATIZE THE BRUTALITY OF
COPS IN BOTH COUNTRIES BUT THEY
ARE ALSO A PLACE FOR COPS TO
FURTHER SHARPEN AND EXTEND
THEIR TACTICS OF BRUTALITY AND
SURVEILLANCE AND SUPPRESSION OF
PROTESTORS.
THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO TRANSFER
FUNDS FROM SP D TO MARGINALIZED
COMMUNITY AND NOT WASTE IT ON
COUNTRIES THAT ARE GUILTY OF
VIOLATING HUMAN RIGHTS.
SO VOTE YES ON 2142.
THANK YOU.

MOST MARGINALIZED BY ITS
DESTRUCTIVE AND VIOLENT
POLICIES.
I BELIEVE THAT CREATING TRUE

RESOLUTION.

THE LARGE NUMBERS OF THOSE

THIS ORDINANCE WOULD CRIPPLE
THE ABILITY TO EVENTUALLY
COLLABORATE WITH COUNTERPARTS
IN THE COUNTRIES THAT THESE
VICTIMS ARE COMING FROM.
PLEASE, DON'T PUNISH THE VERY
REAL VICTIMS OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING IN OUR OWN CITY
BECAUSE WE WANT TO TAKE A STAND

IT IS BECAUSE SEATTLE HAS ITS
IDENTITY I ASK YOU TO VOTE
AGAINST THIS ORDINANCE.

BAPTIST CHURCH.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN

WE ARE GOING TO HEAR NOW FROM

MEMBER LARRY GOSSETT.
>> HI.
MY NAME IS BROY BRIONE SCOTT
AND A MEMBER OF NEW BAPTIST
CHURCH AND CALLING IN SUPPORT
OF COUNCILMEMBER RESOLUTION FOR
NEW HOPE CHURCH TO BUILD
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
FOR YEARS THE CITY HAVE BEEN
PROFITING OFF OF WORKING CLASS
FAMILY AND PUSHED THEM OUT OF
THE CENTRAL DISTRICT.
I WORK IN HOUSING AND HAVE SEEN
THE WORKING CLASS FAMILIES
BECOME HOMELESS AND DO NOT GET
THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE BECAUSE
OF THE RISE IN RENT.
THEY ARE PART OF THE RACIAL
INJUSTICE THAT HAS BEEN
HAPPENING FOR YEARS.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN AND

DO I SPEAK NOW AND CAN YOU HEAR

A LETTER THAT MORE EFFECTIVELY

THE MEASURE THAT COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT HAS PUT BEFORE YOU ALL
IN THE FORM OF RESOLUTION.
AND I HOPE THAT NEXT WEEK IT

WE CAN SPEAK MORE ELABORATELY
TO IT.
AS A RESIDENT I AM AWARE OF

I URGE THE COUNCIL TO VOTE YES
ON THE NEW HOPE RESOLUTION.
I LIVE IN THE CENTRAL DISTRICT
ALL OF MY LIFE AND HAVE WATCHED
THE PUSH BACK OF MY PEOPLE AS
AFRICAN-AMERICANS GET PUSHED
OUT OF SEATTLE AND TO FEDERAL
WAYS.
I THINK IT IS BEST THAT WE MAKE
THINGS RIGHT BY GIVING BACK THE
LAND THAT WE ARE REQUESTING AT
NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN.
NEXT UP IS JANE SCOTT FOLLOWED
BY VELMA.
JANE.
I SEE YOU ARE UNMUTED.

COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
AND SEA-TAC HAVE GREAT SENSE
REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY OF
PLANE CRASH HAZARDS AND OTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICES AS
WELL AS THE IMPACT OF CLIMB
CHANGE RELATED TO THE AIRPORTS
THAT OUR COMMUNITIES FACE.
ONE OF THE GOALS IS TO ENSURE
THAT ALL CITY AND RESIDENTS

THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER HER
BOL.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING

SUPPORT COUNCILWOMAN SAWANT
RESOLUTION PROPOSED BY NEW HOPE
BAPTIST CHURCH THE RENT HAS
RISEN IN 20% THIS YEAR.
A YEAR WHEN MANY RESIDENTS ARE
OUT OF WORK BECAUSE OF COVID-
19.
WE NEED TO INCREASE THE AMAZON
TACK TO PAY FOR MORE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN SEATTLE AND NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT IT BENEFITS
BROWN AND BROWN FAMILIES THAT
HAVE BEEN PUSHED OUT BY
PROFITEERING AND GENDER FYING.
IF THERE IS ANY AMENDMENTS TO

OF THE COUNCIL.
I AM COMMENTING ON 323210.
AS DRAFTED IT EXCLUDES VIABLE
PROPOSALS AND THE PROPOSAL FOR
9201 TO 92,153rd AVENUE
SOUTHWEST.
WE WOULD LIKE TO URGE THE
COUNCIL TO RECONSIDER BECAUSE
WE BELIEVE OUR PLAN TO DEVELOP
THE PROPERTY INTO AFFORDABLE
LIVING COMMUNITY ALIGNS WELL
WITH THE COUNCIL'S GOAL AND THE
COUNCIL GIVES DUE PROCESS TO
IDEAS FROM ITS CON CONSTITUENT.
WE CAN WORK OUR WAY THROUGH THE
CURRENT HOUSING CRISIS THAT
CITY IS WORKING THROUGH.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
CITY COUNCIL TO GET THINGS DONE
AND APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK
FROM THE COUNCIL, HOW WE CAN
IMPLEMENT THE SOLUTIONS
EFFECTIVELY.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN.
NEXT UP IS MADELINE OLSON.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> WE CAN.
GREAT.
I AM JUST CALLING INTO URGE THE
COUNCIL TO FUND THE NEW HOPE
HOUSING PROJECT.
COUNCIL VOTE YES ON COUNSEL
MEMBER SAWANT'S PROPOSAL.
TO CREATE AFFORDABLE HOMES SO
FAMILIES CAN STAY.
ONCE PASSED WE STILL NEED TO
DESIGNATE THE CONCRETE FUNDS TO
REALIZE THE PROJECT.
IF AMAZON CAN AFFORD TO FUN THE
COMMUNITY, ANY IDEA THAT
HOUSING PROJECT PREVENTS ANY
OTHER AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS
RIDICULOUS AND IT LEADS TO
PROBLEMS.
THE HOUSING PROJECT IS ONE
PIECE OF THE COMMUNITY HOUSING
NEEDS MET.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
NEXT UP IS JAY HORTON AND WE
WILL HEAR FROM JOHN GRANT.
.
>> HELLO MY NAME IS JAY NORTON.
AND CALLING IN REGARDS TO THE
RESOLUTION NUMBER 32010.
I MOVED INTO THE AREA IN 1987
FROM MONTANA AND HAVE ATTENDED
SERVICES AT THIS SMALL CHURCH
AT THAT LOCATION EVER SINCE
THEN.
AND HAVE SEEN CITY OF SEATTLE
WORK VERY HARD TO ELEVATE THE
AREA AND AS STEWARDS FROM THE
AREA AND COMMUNITY I DESIRE TO
SEE THIS PROPERTY DEVELOPED TO
ITS FULL POTENTIAL.
WE ARE WORKING HARD TO -- WITH
THIS CRISIS OF HOMELESSNESS AND
OLD AGE CARE.
WE ARE WORKING HARD TO GET THIS
DEVELOPMENT MOVED FORWARD.
AND WITH THE PUBLIC TRANSIT AND
TO HELP CARE FACILITIES IN THE
CITY URGENTLY ASK THE CITY
COUNCIL TO MOVE THIS PROPOSAL.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN.
NEXT UP IS JOHN GRANT.
I'M SHOWING JAMES GREASY AS
BEING REGISTERED BUT NOT
PRESENT.
JOHN.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
I AM JOHN GRANT WITH THE LOW-
INCOME HOUSING INSTITUTE.
I AM HERE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
OF COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT'S
BUDGET REQUEST AND RESOLUTION
AFFIRMING REPARATIONS FOR THE
NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH AND
OTHER FAMILIES IN THE CENTRAL
AREA.
OUR CITY HAS A SERIOUS INJURY
TO SEATTLE'S BLACK COMMUNITY.
UNDER THE GUISE OF URBAN
RENEWAL CITY OFFICIALS USED THE
THREAT OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO
SEIZE LAND AND MOVE BLACK
FAMILIES.
VALUE OF THE LAND IS MORE THAN
$2 MILLION WHICH AT THE TIME
THE CITY PAID 34,000.
THE CITY COUNCIL HAS TAKEN
CONCRETE STEPS TO UNDUE THE
LEGACY OF RACISM AND THAT
SHOULD BE COMMENDED BUT WHY ARE
TALKING ABOUT A HARM THAT IS
UNMENDED AND IT IS NEVER TOO
LATE TO MAKE A WRONG A RIGHT.
THE CITY SHOULD APOLOGIZE AND
GIVE THE LAND BACK AND FUND THE
NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH
PROJECT.
>> THANK YOU.
NEXT UP IS MARIA BATALELO AND
MARIO IS REGISTERED BUT NOT
PRESENT.
MARIA.
WELCOME.
MARIA PRESS STAR 6 SO WE CAN

SURE IT IS THE STAR AND NOT THE
BUTTON.
PRESS STAR 6 SO WE ARE HEAR

I'M STILL NOT ABLE TO HEAR

LET'S COME BACK TO MARIA AND
MOVE OVER TO SETH EMT OSH AND
WE WILL TRY MARIA ONE MORE
TIME.
THANK YOU.
I AM SETH.
I AM COMMENTING THE ON PROPOSED
RESOLUTION 32010 THAT WE FEEL
SHOULD NOT BE ADOPTED BECAUSE
IT INCLUDES THINGS THAT WOULD
NOT HELP SOLVE THE HOUSING
CRISIS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 9201 AND 1253rd AVENUE.
WE URGE THE COUNCIL TO
RECONSIDER THE RESOLUTION.
THE PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP THIS
PROPERTY TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
ALIGNS WELL WITH THE CITY'S
VISION AND GOALS FOR THE CITY.
AND AS A NEIGHBOR I GREW UP
DOWN THE STREET TO THIS
PROPERTY.
WE FEEL THAT PROJECT ALIGNS
WELL WITH THE NEEDS AND THE
IMMEDIATE AREA.
THE TOPOGRAPHY TO ALLOW FOR THE
LR4 TO ALLOW UP TO 60
RESIDENTS.
OVER 50 ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TO BE PROVIDED.
THAT IS 50 ADDITIONAL HOMES AND
SHOULD NOT BE EXCLUDED THANK
YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE HAVE A PREVIOUS SPEAKER,
ADDI SMITH.
>> HI.
THANK YOU.
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> YES, WE CAN.
>> I'M ASKING THAT YOU VOTE YES
ON THE RESOLUTION.
SUPPORTING COUNCILWOMAN
SAWANT'S -- TO UNDERSTAND THE
ROOT CAUSE OF RACISM.
WE HAVE TO CONSIDER WHO'S
PROTECTING IT.
IT COULD BE ILLEGAL FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL BOB FERGUSON
TO SUPPORT CORPORATE LANDLORDS.
NOT ONLY DO THEY REPRESENT
THESE RACIST INSTITUTIONS BUT
THE ADMINISTRATION RESPONSIBLE
TO FAIR AND JUST ADJUDICATION
AND IT IS RACIST.
UNDERSTANDING RED LINING MEANS
TO CAUSE OUT THE ROOT CAUSE AND
THAT MEANS AG BOB FERGUSON AND
GOVERNOR INSLEE.
IN 2019 BOB FERGUSON'S MULTI-
DISCIPLINE HAZE CRIME GROUP
CLAIMS TO OUTLINE AN APPROACH
TO BETTER ADDRESS CRIMES IN
WASHINGTON.
THIS WORKING GROUP WAS A SHAM.
BLACK FAMILIES ARE CONTINUALLY
DISCRIMINATED IN THIS STATE AND
NEED TO REALIZE IT IS --

>> OKAY.
SORRY, MARIA.
WE ARE HAVING SOME CONNECTION
ISSUES HERE WITH YOU.
SO WHY DON'T YOU TRY PRESSING
STAR 6, ONE MORE TIME.
NOT HEARING YOU.
I'M SORRY.
LET'S MOVE TO MARK ROJAS.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
I NAME IS MICHAEL ROJAS WITH
THE CHURCH COUNCIL.
TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE DEMANDS
SPECIFIC ACTIONS FOR RED
LINING, DISPLACE MANY AND THE
TAKING OVER OF PROPERTY
BELONGING TO THE BLACK
COMMUNITY IN THE CENTRAL
DISTRICT.
THE CHURCH COUNCIL JOINS THE
HOPE WITH NEW HOPE BAPTIST
CHURCH AND MANY OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS URGING TO SUPPORT
THE NEW HOPE RESOLUTION WE
SUPPORT THE RETURN OF MINI PARK
TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNERS.
WE ASK THAT CITY COUNCIL TO
COMMITTED $10.5 MILLION TOWARDS
THE NEW HOPE FAMILY HOUSING
PROJECT.
IT'S HIGH TIME THAT CITY OF
SEATTLE FOLLOW THE WORDS OF
RACIAL EQUITY AND SOCIAL
JUSTICE WITH DECISIVE DECISION
NAMELY THE JEN GENTRIFICATION

OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE DIRE
IMPACT IT HAS HAD ON
POPULATIONS AND IMPERATIVE TO
SUPPORT IT.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
OEM.

I AM SHOWING THAT RUTH HALL IS
PRESENT BUT NOT PRESENT.
WE WILL HEAR FROM COLLIN LAM.
>> THANK YOU I AM COLLIN LAM
AND I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER MY
UNWAVERING SUPPORT HERE OF THE
BILL.
A TREM SIGN OF POSITIVE CHANGE
TO SEE A BILL SUCH AS THIS
INTRODUCED IN THE LEGISLATIVE
AGENDA.
ESPECIALLY FOLLOWING SPD'S
BRUTALIZATION OF PEACEFUL
PROTESTORS AT THE MARCHES.
IT MARK IMPORTANT STEP IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION, A SMALL STEP
ON THE LONG ROAD TO ACHIEVING
SOCIO ECONOMIC AND RACIAL
EQUITY.
A PROGRAM AS SPD'S EXCHANGE OF
TRAINING WITH THE ISRAELI
DEFENSE FORCES WILL BE UGLY
STAR IN OUR HISTORY THIS BILL
OFFERS US THE OPPORTUNITY TO
MOVE FORWARD ON OUR JOURNEY TO
CREATING ANTI RACIST SOCIETIES.
ISRAEL HAS A HISTORY OF
EGREGIOUS PRACTICES AND BRUTAL
NATIONALIST VIOLENCE.
MAKE NO MISTAKE IT IS FIRST AND
FOREMOST THE COLONIAL STATE AND
MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO EXPORT
IS AGGRESSION --

SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR LOCAL
COUNCILMEMBER LISA HERBOLD

AND ASK THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
TO VOTE AGAINST IT UNLESS THEY
ARE ABLE TO AMEND AND REVISE TO
INCLUDE SECTION 5 BULLET POINT
A FOR PROPERTY 9201 AND 9215 AS
IT IS CRUCIAL TO SUPPORT THE
VISION OF OUR COUNCIL IN
PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THE CURRENT USE IS 6 TO 8
RESIDENT HOMES UNDER THE
PROPOSED SWEEP OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONING
WITH 24, 36 HOUSING BUT IMAGINE
IT BEING REZONED TO LR4 TO HAVE
60 PLUS UNITS OF AFFORDABLE

OUR PROPERTY THERE SO WE CAN
FULFILL THE COUNCIL'S VISION.

JEN McMANN AND SHELLY ANDERSON

RUTH HALL, BILL JAMES ARE
INDIVIDUALS THAT PREREGISTERED

>> THANK YOU COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
THIS IS THE COMPREHENSIVE
DOCKET SETTING WITH RESOLUTION
OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENTS CONSIDERED NEXT YEAR
IN 2022.
THIS RESOLUTION PROVIDES
PREDICABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
TO THE PUBLIC AND REQUESTS THAT
OPCD AND THE SEATTLE PLANNING
COMMISSION REVIEW AND MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
THAT COUNCIL PLANS TO CONSIDER
NEXT YEAR, NOT THIS YEAR.
AMENDMENTS CAN BE SUBMITTED BY
-- FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC OR PI
COUNCILMEMBERS AND THE
NEIGHBORING COMMITTEE AND
CONSIDER AMENDMENTS BASED ON
CRITERIA AND THE COUNCIL HAS
PREVIOUSLY SET BY RESOLUTION
AND THIS YEAR COUNCIL STAFF AND
THE OFFICE OF PLANNING
DEVELOPMENT WERE IN AGREEMENT
ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
DOCKETS OF THIS RESOLUTION.
TWO AMENDMENTS ARE ADDED TO THE
DOCKET BY THIS RESOLUTION.
ON AN AMENDMENT COUNCILMEMBER
LEWIS TO REMOVE A STREET
DESIGNATION FOR 3rd AVENUE AND
QUEEN ANN.
WE CANNOT PUT THE TRAFFIC
MEASURES ON ARTERIAL STREETS
AND IF ANYONE HAS DRIVEN THEM
WE KNOW THE STREET A NEEDS
TRAFFIC COMMENT AND A NARROW
STREET.
WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT FROM
MYSELF TO ADD LANGUAGE TO THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ENCOURAGE
THE LIDDING, PUTTING LIDS ON
FREEWAYS TO RECONNECT
COMMUNITIES AND CREATE OPEN
SPACE AND BUILDABLE LAND.
SIX OTHER AMENDMENTS PROPOSED.
AND DEEMED AS NOT MEETING THE
CRITERIA FOR DOCKETS.
ONE OF THESE IS JAMES GRACEY,
YOU DID CALL IN AND SPOKE UP
ABOUT YOUR PROJECT, A PROJECT
THAT HAS GREAT MERIT.
UNFORTUNATELY THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN IS NOT THE CORRECT VEHICLE
SINCE IT IS A SINGLE PROPERTY.
FOR ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY IS
THE CONTRACT PROCESS.
THIS RESOLUTION IS SEPARATE
FROM THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE
PROJECT.
IN SEPTEMBER.
WE SET THIS RESOLUTION FOR WHAT
WE WILL CONSIDER IN SEPTEMBER
OF 2022.
WHAT WE ARE TAKING UP IN
SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR IN 2021
IS TAKING UP A YEAR AGO BY
RESOLUTION, AUGUST, JULY OF
2020.
INSTEAD OF THESE PROPOSALS
STUDIED IN THE MONTH TO COME
AND CONSIDERED IN THE 2022
ROUND OF AMENDS.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT CHECKING WITH
YOU DO I MOVE TO ADOPT OR GOOD
TO GO?
THAT IS THE COMMITTEE REPORT ON
THIS BILL.
>> GREAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
COLLEAGUES ANY OTHER COMMENTS
ON THIS RESOLUTION?
I AM NOT SEEING ANY HANDS.
OH COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD.
>> I WANTED TO MENTION A COUPLE
OF ITEMS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN
THIS MOVING FORWARD.
IT IS A LONGSTANDING REQUEST
FROM SOME MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH
PARK COMMUNITY ABOUT THE SOUTH
PARK STATUS AS IS URBAN VILLAGE
AND REQUEST TO COUNCIL AS
DESCRIBED IN SOME RESOLUTIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH HMA.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT THIS
AMENDMENT WAS INCLUDED.
ALSO WANT TO SPEAK TO THE FACT
THAT -- PLEASED AT THE
AMENDMENT RELATED TO IMPACT
FEES IS INCLUDED AND THEN
LASTLY -- WELL THERE IS TWO
MORE POINTS.
AS IT RELATES TWO A
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT THAT HAS
NOT MOVED FORWARD BECAUSE IT
WAS NOT CONSIDERED BECAUSE IT
WAS A REPEAT -- A REPEAT
AMENDMENT AND THAT IS
SPECIFICALLY THE AMENDMENT IN
THE TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT OF
THE COMP PLAN TO MINIMIZE
DAMAGE FROM HEAVY VEHICLES.
JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS
REALLY AN ONGOING ISSUE AS IT
RELATES TO THE CONDITION OF THE
STREETS.
SPECIFICALLY AROUND AREAS WHERE
WE HAVE INCREASED THE USE OF
TRANSIT AND ALSO IN AREAS WHERE
OTHER TYPES OF LARGE VEHICLES
ARE USING THE STREETS TO CALL
OUT THE STREETS AROUND WESTWARD
VILLAGE AND SOUTH PARK.
WANT TO FLAG -- MY INTEREST IN
FINDING SOME WAY TO WORK ON
THIS ISSUE MOVING FORWARD.
LASTLY COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS
THANK YOU FOR THE REQUEST TO
NOT MOVE FORWARD REGARDING AN
AMENDMENT FOR A PROPOSED
HOUSING PROJECT IN DISTRICT
ONE.
I THINK WHY AGREED THAT VISION
FOR THIS PROPERTY ALIGNS WITH
MANY OTHER GOALS RELATING TO
NEIGHBORHOOD ACCESS AND
BUILDING COMMUNITY WEALTH AND
COMBATING DISPLACEMENT.
I KNOW OPCD HAS STATED THAT
THEY ARE WORKING
COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE
PROPERTY OWNER TO IDENTIFY
OTHER OPTIONS FOR THE SITE AND
AS COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS
MENTIONED A CONTRACT REZONING
IS ONE APPROACH AND ANOTHER
APPROACH THAT OPCD HAS
IDENTIFIED IS THE RECENT
LEGISLATION PASSED THAT ALLOWS
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON
RELIGIOUS PROPERTY.
THE PROPONENTS OF THIS
AMENDMENT HAVE EXPRESSED AN
INTEREST IN BUILDING HOUSING
THAT IS AFFORDABLE TO UNDER 50%
AMI.
AND OPCD STATES THAT UNDER THE
PROPERTY ZONING LEGISLATION THE
CURRENT ZONING POTENTIALLY
WOULD ALLOW FOR 30 HOUSING
UNITS.
CONCEIVABLY THIS IS A MORE
EXPEDIENT PATH FORWARD SINCE
COUNCIL BILL 120081 HAS PASSED
CONCEIVABLY THIS MIGHT BE A
MORE EXPEDIENT APPROACH TO
MEETING THESE GOALS RATHER THAN
A COMP AMENDMENT.
SO LOOKING FORWARD TO
DISCUSSING THE EFFORTS AND HOW
TO MOVE THEM FORWARD WITH THE
PROJECT COMPONENT, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
I JUST WANT TO SPEAK BRIEFLY TO
UPLIFT THE HARD WORK OF ALL OF
THE NEIGHBORS IN THE FLORENCIA
CORRIDOR TO GET ACTION TO
PROVIDE THE NECESSARY SECURITY
MAKING THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD
LIKE TO DO IN THE FLORENCIA
AREA BUT ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE
TO BECAUSE OF THE DESIGNATION
BECAUSE OF ARTERIAL.
I WANTED TO SAY TO EARN IF YOU
FOLKS ARE LISTENING UP THERE IN
FLORENCIA THAT HAVE BEEN
ORGANIZING AROUND THIS, WE HAVE
HEARD THIS IS ONE MORE HURDLE
THAT HAS PASSED TO GET
NECESSARY CHANGES IN THE
CORRIDOR AND HAVE APPRECIATED

GREAT REMARK AND WELL SAID AND
COLLEAGUES THIS PROCESS HERE IS
ONE EXAMPLE OF WHY I HAVE SUCH
STRICT PARAMETERS AROUND THE

THE SEATTLE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT MAINTAINS WHAT IS
CALL AN ALL HAZARD MITIGATION
PLAN.
UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS AND
INCLUDES EVOLVING INFORMATION
ON COMMUNITY LED ADJUSTMENTS TO
REFLECT EMERGING VALUES AND
COOPERATION WITH OTHER MAJOR
CITYWIDE PLANS AND ADDITIONAL
DEPARTMENT ENGAGEMENT.
THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT PRESENTED THEIR
DRAFT, ALL HAZARDS UPDATE TO
THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND HUMAN
SERVICES COMMITTEE IN MID-JUNE
AND THEN AGAIN LAST WEEK WHERE
WE UNANIMOUSLY PASSED OUT
RESOLUTION 32011.
I PUT FORWARD AN AMENDMENT
SUPPORTED UNANIMOUSLY AND THAT
AMENDMENT ASKED THE OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TO DO TWO
THINGS.
THE FIRST IS TO DEVELOP A
STRATEGY TO BRIEF COMMUNITIES
IN THE CITY OF SEATTLE UNDER
THE SEA-TAC INTERNATIONAL
úAIRPORT IN KING COUNTY
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FLIGHT
PATH.
TO UPDATE THEM ON INFORMATION
ON EXISTING CITY, COUNTY AND
PORT OF SEATTLE PLANNING
EFFORTS THAT MAY RELATE TO
PLANE CRASH HAZARD MITIGATION.
FOLLOWING SUCH BRIEFINGS,
REPORT BACK TO THE COUNCIL
ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS
ANY GAPS WITHIN THE ALL HAZARDS
MITIGATION PLAN.
THE SECOND PART OF THE
AMENDMENT" THAT THE OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATE
A CITYWIDE EFFORT TO IDENTIFY
APPROACHES AND PROJECTS WHICH
CAN MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OF
EXCESSIVE HEAT ON JULY NER AND
POPULATIONS IN SEATTLE.
THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT IS REQUESTED TO
ENGAGE MULTIPLE CITY
DEPARTMENTS AND PRIVATE SECTOR
PARTNERS AND OTHER SUBJECT
MATTER EXPERTS INCLUDING PUBLIC
HEALTH SEATTLE KING COUNTY AND
THE OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY
AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
THE FIRST PART OF THIS
AMENDMENT WAS DEVELOPED WITH
THE GEORGETOWN NEIGHBORHOOD
AFTER THEY REACHED OUT TO ME
WITH CONCERNS REGARDING KING
COUNTY INTERNATIONAL INTERIM
AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A PLANE
CRASH RELATED EMERGENCY.
THE SECOND PART OF THE
AMENDMENT RECOGNIZES THAT ALL
HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
ADDRESSES EXCESSIVE HEAT BUT WE
NEED TO DO MORE AS HEAT WAVES
ARE MORE COMMON IN NORTHWEST.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD FOR THAT
DESCRIPTION.
IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL
COMMENT ON THE RESOLUTION?
NO HANDS RAISED SO WILL THE
CLERK CALL THE ROLE ON THE
ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED
RESOLUTION?
>> JUAREZ.
>> AYE.
>> LEWIS.
>> AYE.
>> MORALES.
>> YES.
>> MOSQUEDA.
>> AYE.
>> PEDERSON.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT.

I'M SORRY.
YES.
THANK YOU.
>> AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT

>> NINE IN FAVOR AND NONE OWE
POTIONED.
>> THANK YOU IT IS ADOPTED AND

ITEM SIX INTO THE RECORD.
>> REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
HOMELESSNESS STRATEGIES AND
INVESTMENTS.
AGENDA ITEM SIX.
COUNCIL BILL 120109 RELATING TO
CITY FINANCES CREATING A FUND
FOR THE DONATIONS AND GIFTS AND
GRANTS RELATED TO THE CITY OF
SEATTLE'S RESPONSE TO
HOMELESSNESS AND CITY
PROVISIONS.
THE CITY RECOMMENDS THAT IT
PASSES AS AMENDED.
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS YOU ARE THE
CHAIR SO I WILL HAPPENED IT TO
YOU TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT.
>> THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
IN JUNE WE HAD A HEARING ON
THIS BILL WITH CENTRAL STAFF
PRESIDENT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
TO THE COMMITTEE'S
SATISFACTION.
THERE WERE SOME SLIGHT CHANGES
THAT WERE MADE IN CONSULTATION
OVER THE COURSE OF THE MONTH OF
JULY LEADING UP TO LAST MONTH'S
COMMITTEE MEETING WHERE CBO
MADE A FEW TECHNICAL CHANGES TO
THIS BILL.
THE COMMITTEE THEN REPORTED IT
OUT WITH NO VOTES IN OPPOSITION
AND I BELIEVE SEVEN, EIGHT OR
SEVEN VOTES IN FAVOR.
YOU KNOW, JUST TO SPEAK TO THIS
BRIEFLY, THIS BILL BEFORE US
WILL CREATE A DEDICATED CITY
FUND TO ACCEPT PRIVATE
CONTRIBUTIONS PER APPROVAL FROM
THE SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL THE
SAME WAY WE APPROVE ALL
EXTERNAL GRANTS AND
CONTRIBUTION OF MONEY TO THE
MUNICIPAL COFFERS IN ORDER TO
ENGAGE IN HOMELESSNESS SHELTER
AND SERVICES PROJECTS, THERE
ARE A NUMBER OF STAKEHOLDERS
OUT THERE INTERESTED IN
FIGURING OUT WAYS TO EXPEDITE
EFFORTS THAT THE COUNCIL HAS IN
MANY CASES ALREADY FUNDED BUT
WAYS THAT THOSE -- THE IMPACT
TO BE STRETCHED EVEN FURTHER BY
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OFFERS FROM
POTENTIAL PARTNERS.
PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY IS NEVER
GOING TO REPLACE CONSERVATIVE
GOVERNMENT ACTION TO SOLVE THE
BIG PROBLEMS THAT FACE OUR
SOCIETY INCLUDING THE STATE OF
EMERGENCY ON HOMELESSNESS BUT
WHEN FOLK STEP FORWARD TO SERVE
IT COULD MAKE A DISCERNIBLE
DIFFERENCE AND WE SHOULD AS A
CITY CARVE OUT SOME SPACE TO
ENGAGE IN THOSE PARTNERSHIPS
WHEN POSSIBLE.
WITH THAT, I URGE PASSAGE OF
THIS BILL AND LOOK FORWARD TO
MOVE IT OUT.
>> THANK YOU.
ARE THERE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS?
HEARING NONE WILL THE CLERK
CALL THE ROLL ON THE PASSAGE OF
THE BILL?
>> JUAREZ.
>> AYE.
>> LEWIS.
>> YES.
>> MORALES.
>> YES.
>> MOSQUEDA.
>> AYE.
>> PEDERSON.
>> AYE.
>> SAWANT.
>> YES.
>> STRAUSS.
>> YES.
>> HERBOLD.
>> YES.
>> AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT
GONZALEZ.
>> AYE.
>> NINE IN FAVOR AND NONE
OPPOSED.
THE BILL PASSES AND THE CHAIR
WILL SIGN IT AND WILL THE CLERK
PLEASE AFFIX MY SIGNATURE TO
THE LEGISLATION ON MY BEHALF.
