WELL AS FIVE APPOINTMENTS

RIGHTS COMMITTEE.
WE WILL TAKE ONE VOTE ON ALL

TWO ITEMS OF TWO FULL COUNCIL

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS
ORDINANCE BEFORE TOMORROW'S
MEETING, KARINA IS PREPARED TO
ANSWER QUESTIONS.
THE SECOND ITEM IS COUNCIL BILL
120375 SPONSORED BY COUNCIL
MEMBERS A LOT COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT.
I BELIEVE COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT
IS PLANNING AN AMENDMENT
TOMORROW WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE
RECEIVED.
AND WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE
AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER
AMENDMENT AS WELL.
WE WILL BE CONSIDERING THE
RECOMMENDATION OF THE
SUSTAINABILITY IN RENTERS

JUSTIN FARRELL TO HEAD THE
OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND

COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN,
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT,
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS,
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD,
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS, AND
MYSELF.
YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
>> THERE IS NOTHING FROM THE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY
AND CITY LIGHT COMMITTEE ON
TOMORROW'S AGENDA.
HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE OUR MEETING
ON WEDNESDAY.
THERE ARE FOUR ITEMS ON THE
AGENDA.
THE FIRST IS A DISCUSSION AND
POSSIBLE VOTE OF THE
APPOINTMENT OF MARKHAM McINTYRE
OF THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT.
COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE INVITED TO
SUBMIT QUESTIONS.
MR. McINTYRE'S ANSWERS WILL BE
ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA LATER
TODAY OR BY 9:30 WHICH IS THE
DROP DEADLINE TOMORROW.
NEXT WILL BE A DISCUSSION AND
POSSIBLE VOTE ON COUNCIL BILL
120378 AUTHORIZING CITY LIGHT
TO EXECUTE A MAINTENANCE
AGREEMENT UNTIL A
COMMUNICATIONS AGREEMENT IS
WITH THE PD.
ITEM 3 IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND
DISCUSSION OF RESOLUTION 32061
WHICH WOULD APPROVE CITY LIGHTS
2022 INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN
AND THE INTEGRATED RESOURCE
PLAN FOR THE BIENNIUM SEPTEMBER
2028 THROUGH AUGUST 2024.
THAT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH RCW
19 280.
AND, AS CONFORMING TO THE
WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT ENERGY
ACT AND THE CLEAN ENERGY ACT.
SO STATE STATUTE ALSO REQUIRES
A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO THAT WILL OCCUR AFTER THE
BRIEFING AND BEFORE THE
DISCUSSION.
THERE WILL BE A POSSIBLE VOTE
AT OUR FOLLOWING MEETING ON
AUGUST 10th AND A FULL COUNCIL
VOTE HOPEFULLY, ON THE 15th.
THE LAST ITEM AGENDA IS THE
SECOND DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE
VOTE ON THE BILL 120379
RELATING TO REGULATIONS OF FOOD
DELIVERY PLATFORMS SPONSORED BY
COUNCIL MEMBER PEDERSON AND
COUNCIL MEMBER FRYE'S.
FOR COMMITTEE MEETINGS LAST
WEEK, I WILL MENTION A COUPLE.
ON MONDAY, WE HAD A BRIEFING
FROM ELSA BROWN FROM THE
MAYOR'S OFFICE AND THE PUGET
SOUND REGIONAL COUNCIL AND THE
PUGET SOUND REGION.
I AM ON THE COMMITTEE.
HOWEVER, THOSE MEETINGS OCCUR
AT THE SAME TIME AS FINANCE AND
HOUSING.
SO IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO
ATTEND THOSE.
BUT I GOT A BRIEFING.
AND OTHER MEETINGS SPANNED THE
RANGE OF TOPICS FROM THE POOR
STATE OF EIGHTH AVENUE SOUTH IN
GEORGETOWN, A MEETING ABOUT
SEATTLE CITY LIGHT EASEMENTS IN
SNOHOMISH, I MEAN, SHORELINE
REPRESENTED THE FOOD DELIVERY
PLATFORMS TO DISCUSS THE
LEGISLATION, A MEETING WITH
SENIOR DEPUTY MAYOR AND CBO
DIRECTOR TO DISCUSS UPCOMING
BUDGET NEGOTIATIONS AND THEIR
PRIORITIES AND MINE.
AND THEN, I ENDED THE WEEK AT
MY FIRST BALLARD FC GAME.
I HAVE TO SAY, I KNOW, THERE IS
THE NUMBER ONE BALLARD FC FAN
GIVING THE AIR PUMP THERE.
I LEARNED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE
OF THIS TEAM TO THE COMMUNITY.
I WILL LET COUNCILMEMBER
STRAUSS TALK ABOUT THE RECENT
WINS AFTER THAT.
THE ONE THING I DID WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT, MENTION OR FLAG IS
WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING EMAILS
FROM CONSTITUENTS EXTREMELY
WORRIED ABOUT MONKEYPOX, AND
WONDERING WHAT THE CITY IS
DOING AND WHAT THE COUNTY IS
DOING.
AND THESE ARE NEW STORIES THAT
ARE MORE AND MORE COMMON.
AND I HAVE TO SAY WE HAVE
ENGAGED SEATTLE PUBLIC HEALTH
TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CURRENTLY
HAPPENING ON THIS FRONT IN
TERMS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION, A
PLAN FOR DISTRIBUTION OF
MEDICATION, YOU KNOW, THE LIST
GOES ON, THIS KIND OF THINK IN
YOUR MIND EVERYTHING WE HAD TO
DO AT THE LAST MINUTE WITH
COVID.
SO I HAVE PROVIDED SOME OF THAT
INFORMATION TO THE FOLKS WHO
HAVE BEEN COMING INTO OUR
OFFICE.
I AM AN ALTAR NOR ALTERNATE ON
THE BOARD.
I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THOSE
MEETINGS.
I PLAN TO TALK TO COLLEAGUES,
YOU KNOW, ABOUT WHAT IS GOING
ON BEHIND THE SCENES TO PLAN
FOR THIS.
WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE MISTAKES
WE MADE IN THE PAST BY WAITING
TOO LONG.
AND SO, MORE TO COME ON THAT.
I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE WE
HAVE TO GET AHEAD OF THIS.
AND I WILL STOP THERE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
NO?
ALL RIGHT.
I CAN DO MY ALPHABET.
I WILL PASS IT NOW TO
COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOOD AFTERNOON, COLLEAGUES.
ON TOMORROW AFTERNOON'S CITY
COUNCIL AGENDA THERE ARE NO
ITEMS FROM TRANSPORTATION AND
PUBLIC UTILITIES.
THE NEXT COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC
UTILITIES IS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT
TUESDAY, AUGUST 2nd AT 9:30
P.M.
WE HAVE TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED A
FEW ITEMS.
WE WILL HAVE A SECOND
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE VOTE ON
BILL 1204.
IT WOULD ESTABLISH AUTHORITY TO
DESIGNATE PARKING FOR TRUCK
TRACTORS AND THE PUBLIC RIGHT-
OF-WAY, AND WOULD AMEND THE
MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW FOR
ENFORCEMENT OF THE DESIGNATED
TRUCK PARKING.
WHILE SDOT'S PRESENTATION WAS
CLEAR ABOUT FOUR LOCATIONS
WHERE IT WOULD DESIGNATE TRUCK
PARKING INCLUDING HARBOUR
ISLAND, GEORGETOWN AND SOTO,
THE LEGISLATION AND AS
TRANSMITTED WOULD PROVIDE -- TO
THE CITY.
WITH CONCERNS FROM THE GENERAL
PUBLIC AND PUTTING FORWARD AN
AMENDMENT TO HAVE SDOT TO HAVE
AN AMENDMENT RULE SO THEY CAN
SPECIFIED PRINCIPLES IT WILL
USE FOR DESIGNATING TRUCK
PARKING AS WELL AS THE PROCESS
FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.
OUR COMMITTEE WILL ALSO GO ON
COUNCIL BILL 120373 WHICH WOULD
ENABLE PUBLIC UTILITIES TO
ACCEPT EASEMENTS FOR
INSTALLATION OF MAINTENANCE,
DOMESTIC METER ASSAULTS, FIRE
SERVICE METERS AND OTHER
EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR WATER
UTILITY PURPOSES AT VARIOUS
LOCATIONS IN SEATTLE.
OUR COMMITTEE WILL VOTE ON
SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS TO THE
CUSTOMER REVIEW PANEL.
AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON FOR MAKING
ROOM AND ECONOMIC KNOWLEDGE,
VOTING ON THE BILL THAT I AM
COSPONSORING WITH COUNCIL
MEMBER STRAUSS TO MAKE
PERMANENT THE 15% CAP ON FEES
THAT CORPORATIONS CHARGE TO
SEATTLE RESTAURANTS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT
THAT, PLEASE CONTACT KARINA ON
SPECIAL STAFF.
IN DISTRICT IV LAST WEEK I
ATTENDED A MEETING OF
UNIVERSITY DISTRICT PARTNERSHIP
WHICH IS THE NONPROFIT PROGRAM
MANAGER OF THE BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT AREA THAT STRIVES
TO MAKE NEIGHBORHOODS CLEAN,
SAFE AND WELCOMING.
WE DISCUSSED PUBLIC SAFETY,
HOMELESSNESS, TRANSPORTATION,
THE BUDGET AND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
AND I ASSURED THEM THAT I
SUPPORTED THE NEW RECRUITMENT
PLAN FOR SPEEDY OFFICERS AND
DETECTIVE PLANS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO QUICKLY
PASSING THAT LEGISLATION.
I ALSO ATTENDED THE WALLINGFORD
MARKER FARMERS MARKET.
IT IS OPEN 5:00 TO 8:00. AND
YES, I DID GET MY STRAWBERRIES
AND CREAM POPSICLE, IN CASE YOU
WERE WONDERING.
THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.
ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE HEAR
FROM COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT?
OKAY, THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT?
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER
PEDERSEN.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.
THERE ARE SIX ITEMS ON
TOMORROW'S CITY COUNCIL AGENDA.
THERE ARE FIVE REAPPOINTMENTS
TO THE GREEN NEW DEAL CONSENT
CALENDAR, AND THE CONFIRMATION
OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE
OF SUSTAINABILITY AND
ENVIRONMENT IS ON THE REGULAR
PORTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED THESE
APPOINTMENTS.
ALSO ON TOMORROW'S CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA IS LEGISLATION FROM MY
OFFICE AS COUNCIL PRESIDENT
JUAREZ MENTIONED.
IT HELPS PEOPLE SEEKING
ABORTIONS IN A STATE WHICH WE
KNOW MANY STATES WITH BARBARIC
ABORTION LAWS NOW AFTER THE
SUPREME COURT RULING, LAWS
VIOLATING BASEMENT BASIC BODILY
AUTONOMY AND REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH CARE ARE UNJUST.
WE CANNOT ALLOW SEATTLE TO BE
COMPLICIT.
CITY COUNCIL STAFF HAS DRAFTED
LEGISLATION TO PREVENT SEATTLE
POLICE, LEGISLATION FROM OFFICE
TO PREVENT THEM FROM ARRESTING
PEOPLE EITHER PATIENTS OR
PROVIDERS FOR OUTSTANDING
WARRANTS OR OTHERWISE AIDING IN
INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO
ANTIABORTION LAWS IN OTHER
STATES.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY STATE LAWS
I HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE AS WELL
AS BILL ONE 851 AND LEGAL
OPINIONS TO PROTECT PEOPLE WHO
PERFORM OR HAVE AN ABORTION IN
SEATTLE, INCLUDING A PERSON WHO
LIVES IN ANOTHER STATE AND
COMES TO SEATTLE FOR ABORTION
BECAUSE THEIR STATE BANS THEM.
HOWEVER, THOSE LAWS DO NOTHING
TO PROTECT PEOPLE TO PERFORM OR
HAVE AN ABORTION IN THE STATE
WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN BANNED
WHICH BASICALLY MEANS FOR THEM
TO PERFORM AN ABORTION IT WOULD
REQUIRE BREAKING THOSE DEEPLY
UNJUST LAWS.
THAT'S WHAT THIS LEGISLATION
FROM MY OFFICE WILL CHANGE.
IF PEOPLE BREAK LAWS TO PROVIDE
ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE AND
BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL BE
CAUGHT, THEY CAN COME TO
SEATTLE AND'S STAVE OFF
PROSECUTION.
AS I MENTIONED, [ INDISCERNIBLE
] THIS WILL NOT MAKE THE
ARREST WARRANT GO AWAY.
[ INDISCERNIBLE ] MOVEMENT
STRONG ENOUGH TO WIN BACK THE
RIGHT OF BODILY AUTONOMY
NATIONWIDE.
IT WOULD MEAN PEOPLE WITH
UNJUST ARREST WARRANTS COULD
LIVE IN SEATTLE WITHOUT THOSE
EVER BEING PROCESSED.
AFTER THE PRESS CONFERENCE WE
KNOW GOVERNOR INSLEE HAD AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER, AND THE MAYOR
HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO
OBSTRUCT CITY POLICE, NOT TO
INVADE IN THOSE INVESTIGATIONS.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
HOWEVER, THOSE ORDERS ARE
WEAKER THAN THE LEGISLATION
BECAUSE THEY MAKE NO MENTION OF
OUT-OF-STATE ARREST WARRANTS.
THERE ARE ALSO RULES FOR
ACTUALLY CODIFYING THOSE
PROTECTIONS INTO LAW WHICH ARE
LEGISLATION WILL DO.
THE OVERTURNING OF ROE V WADE
SHOWS [ INDISCERNIBLE ] INTO
LAW.
MY OFFICE HAS ALSO PREPARED AN
AMENDMENT AS WAS MENTIONED, ALL
COUNCIL OFFICES LAST FRIDAY,
THAT MAKES SOME SMALL TECHNICAL
EDITS TO MOVE THE LINE IN ORDER
TO MAKE THE BILL BETTER THAN
ITS ORIGINAL INTENT.
THE LINE DELETED SAID, QUOTE,
PROVIDED BY A LICENSED
HEALTHCARE PROVIDER OPERATING
IN THE SCOPE OF THEIR PRACTICE
[ INDISCERNIBLE ] DESCRIBING
THE ABORTION -RELATED ARREST
WARRANTS THAT SEATTLE POLICE
WILL NOT AID IN.
THE REALITY I HAVE STATED IN
THE PAST, THESE LAWS MAKE IT
IMPOSSIBLE TO BE LICENSED TO
PROVIDE REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTHCARE.
AS A RESULT, PEOPLE FIND OTHER
ILLEGAL WAYS TO DO THE SAME
THING.
BY LIMITING TWO LICENSED
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS OPERATING
WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THEIR
PRACTICE, THE ORIGINAL VERSION
UNDERCUTS THE IMPACT OF THE
BILL SO THIS AMENDMENT CORRECTS
THAT SORT OF WORDING THAT
EXISTED BEFORE.
AS I SAID, THIS AMENDMENT WOULD
ALIGN THE BILL LANGUAGE TO ITS
ORIGINAL INTENT AND IS
CONSISTENT WITH HOW I HAVE
DESCRIBED IT IN THE BILL.
I URGE ALL PARTY MEMBERS TO
VOTE YES ON THIS LEGISLATION
INCLUDING THE CLARIFYING
AMENDMENT AID THAT I JUST
DESCRIBED.
THAT IS THE REPORT FROM MY
OFFICE AND COMMITTEE.
TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE I END
THIS REPORT?
SEEING NONE, I WILL PASS IT
OVER TO COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS
WHO IS NEXT.
THANK YOU.
>> THERE WE GO.
HOW ARE YOU, COLLEAGUES QUAKE?
GREAT TO SEE YOU ALL, GOOD
AFTERNOON.
THE DISTRICT REPORT, WE ARE
HAVING A TOWN HALL THURSDAY,
JULY 28th.
WE HAVE CHANGED THE TIME IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE HEAT
ADVISORY.
WE WILL BE MEETING AT 6:00 P.M.
WE WILL BE IN PERSON AT THE
GREEN LAKE PARK AQUA THEATER.
THEY USED TO DO SYNCHRONIZED
SWIMMING.
THEY USED TO HAVE BANDS
PERFORMING HERE.
IT IS NOW JUST THE AQUA
THEATER.
WE WILL BE HOSTING THE DISTRICT
VI TOWN HALL FROM THERE.
IF THE HEAT ADVISORY DOES GET
WORSE, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO
AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM AT THE
GREENWOOD LIBRARY.
I JUST WANT TO FOCUS THIS POINT
TO SAY WE ARE DEALING WITH TWO
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRISIS HERE.
ONE IS A PANDEMIC WHERE WE
DON'T WANT TO BE INSIDE WITH
OTHERS NECESSARILY AND THE
OTHER IS EXTREME HEAT.
WE ARE TRYING TO BALANCE THESE
NEEDS WELL.
IF YOU RSVP FOR THE TOWN HALL
WE WILL SEND UP-TO-DATE
INFORMATION AS WE ARE GETTING
CLOSER.
I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY
DISTRICTS.
I HAVE A DESIRE TO CONNECT IN
PERSON.
THE TOWN HALL WILL BE YOUR
CHANCE TO ASK AND HAVE YOUR
QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
AGAIN, WE WILL HOLD IT AT THE
AQUA THEATER AT GREEN LAKE.
IF THE HEAT GETS TOO BAD, WE
WILL TRANSFER TO THE GREENWOOD
LIBRARY.
JUST A TYPICAL PANDEMIC CAVEAT,
IF A MEMBER OF MY TEAM OR I
TEST POSITIVE, IT WILL BE
VIRTUAL OR CANCELED.
AGAIN, PLEASE RSVP ON MY
WEBSITE.
WE WILL SEND OUT ANOTHER RSVP
LINK.
LAST WEEK IN DISTRICT SIX, I
HOSTED MY OFFICE HOURS.
I SCHEDULED SOME HOURS OUTSIDE
THE REGULAR TIME TO OFFSET
CANCELLATIONS TO MAKE
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR COUNCIL
MEETINGS AND SOUND TRANSIT
DECISIONS.
I MET WITH D6 RESIDENTS, FOUR
FROM POWERS, ONE FROM EAST, TWO
FROM WHITTIER HEIGHTS, TWO FROM
THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND ONE
FROM LOYAL HEIGHTS.
WE DISCUSSED HOMELESSNESS,
PUBLIC SAFETY, RVs, MARKET
STREET, NO PARKING SIGNS, THE
FUTURE OF LIGHT RAIL PLACEMENT
AND UTILITY POLES BEING OUTSIDE
THE BOYLE HEIGHTS COMMUNITY úCE
I WANT TO THANK THE D6 RESIDENT
JIM WHO REPORTED THAT.
THIS IS THE THIRD SUMMER IN A
ROW IT HAS OCCURRED.
CITY LIGHT RESPONDED QUICKLY TO
GET THE POLLS REMOVED AS FAST
AS POSSIBLE.
THEY WILL NO LONGER BE STORING
THEM AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS IS THE
POWER OF REQUESTING DISTRICT
OFFICE HOURS AND WORKING WITH
MY DIRECTOR.
AS YOU D6 RESIDENTS ARE THE 1st
TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING ON
YOUR BLOCK, WHEN YOU LET US
KNOW, WE CAN ADVOCATE OR GET YOU
DECISIONS FOR EVERYONE IN D6.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.
THANK YOU TO CITY LIGHT FOR
TAKING QUICK ACTION.
I DID ALSO HAVE A PROJECT CHECK
IN WITH SDOT REGARDING VALERIE
AVENUE.
AS YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD, THEY
WILL BE IMPLEMENTING EQUIPMENT
TO BALLARD AVENUE.
THESE IMPROVEMENTS ARE UPDATING
THE STRIPING ON BALLARD AVENUE
TO REFLECT THE ONE-WAY
NORTHBOUND STREET.
THESE AREAS WILL MAKE THESE
CHANGES CLEAR, ADDING INTERIM
CURB BULBS WITH POSTS AND
PLANTERS TO OPEN UP
INTERSECTIONS AND TO MAKE SURE
THAT FOLKS AREN'T SPEEDING, WE
ARE GOING TO BE CONVERTING THE
INTERSECTIONS AT BALLARD AVENUE
AND 22nd TWO ALWAYS STOPS.
WE WILL FIX THIS TREE PLANT SO
IT CAN BE WATERED SO IT IS NOT
A TRIPPING HAZARD.
WE WILL BE DELINEATING PARKING
SPACES ON BALLARD AVENUE,
CLEARER CURBSIDE LOCATIONS AND
TIMES OF DAY UNLOADING BASED ON
CONVERSATIONS WITH LOCAL
BUSINESSES, AND SO FOR THIS
WEEK YOU WILL SEE SDOT
REPAIRING BRICKS ON BALLARD
AVENUE GETTING READY FOR
FLEXIBLE POSTS.
THERE MIGHT BE TEMPORARY POSTS
AT TIMES.
WE WILL BE PUTTING OUT NO
PARKING SIGNS ALONG BALLARD
AVENUE TO MAKE SPACE FOR CREWS
TO WORK, AND NEXT WEEK, YOU
WILL SEE SDOT INSTALL NEW
SCIENCE, PLANTERS AND POSTS.
THIS IS PART OF MY PATHWAY TO
OUTDOOR DINING.
WE HAVE BEEN USING BALLARD AS
THE MODEL FOR CITYWIDE POLICY.
AND I'M JUST VERY EXCITED THAT
ONCE THIS IS DONE IN THE
COMMUNITY, WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER
DESIGN FOCUSED ON THE
INTERSECTION OF 20th AVENUE AND
BALLARD AVENUE TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT HAS WORKED WELL AND WHAT
NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED WITH THE
SHORT-TERM IMPROVEMENTS AND THE
STRUCTURAL AND AESTHETIC
INTEGRITY THAT IS NEEDED FOR
MOVING FORWARD.
SEPARATELY, I MET WITH THE
HISTORICAL SOCIETY ABOUT
REVAMPING AND REVITALIZING THE
CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER TO MAKE
THIS A WELCOME SPACE.
THIS IS PART OF MY WORK WITH
THE 22nd AVENUE WORK GROUP.
I'M REACHING OUT TO OTHER CITY
DEPARTMENTS TO SEE IF THEY
WOULD LIKE TO USE SPACE.
THE OUTCOME IS [ INDISCERNIBLE
] SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT
OF YOUR WAY TO GET WHAT YOU
NEED FROM THE CITY.
LAST WEEK, I MET WITH A
RESIDENT LEAVING OUR WORK TO DO
PLACE MAKING IN THE DISTRICT.
IT IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT
WITH PAINT, PLANS AND SIGNAGE
IN PUBLIC SPACE TO BUILD ON THE
ENTREPRENEURIAL WORK ABOUT
COALITION, THE VISION IS TO
HAVE SAFE PLACES TO REDUCE
TRAFFIC COLLISIONS AND INCREASE
THE VIBRANCY OF THE SPACE AND
TO CONNECT FREMONT AND BALLARD
TO THE DISTRICT TO MAKE THEM
ALL STRONGER.
CONGRATULATIONS OR CONDOLENCES

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOCUMENTING.
FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH
DOCKETING, IT'S A PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION PROCEDURE
REQUIRED BY THE GROWTH
MANAGEMENT ACT THAT ALLOWS
CTIZENS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REQUEST AMENDMENTS TO A
JURISDICTIONS COMP PLAN.
AFTER PROPOSED CHANGES ARE
IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMISSION
AND CITY COUNCIL REVIEWS THE
LIST OF AMENDMENTS KNOWN AS THE
DOCKET TO BE CONSIDERED OVER
THE COURSE OF THE YEAR THE
PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING THE
DOCUMENT IS TO PROPOSE CHANGES
AND TO HELP THE COMMUNITY TRACK
PROGRESS.
ON THE IRC FOR LAND-USE
COMMITTEE THERE IS AN
APPOINTMENT OF ONE RICO KAREN
DAWN GO IS THE PART OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT,
COLLEAGUES, MY OFFICE WILL SEND
THE FIRST ROUND OF QUESTIONS AND
WE ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS YOU WOULD LIKE HIM TO

MINUTES!
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD, I WILL
PASS IT TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
SO LET'S SEE, I AM PUBLIC
SAFETY AND HUMAN SERVICES
COMMITTEE ON THE FULL COUNCIL
AGENDA TOMORROW.
I DO HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO AN
ITEM THAT WAS VOTED ON IN
COMMITTEE LAST WEEK.
IT WAS A COMMITTEE I WAS UNABLE
TO ATTEND, THE FINANCE AND
HOUSING COMMITTEE.
THE AMENDMENT IS THROUGH
COUNCIL BILL 1203 66.
THE AMENDMENT, THAT PARTICULAR
BILL IS THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT
LEGISLATION.
THE AMENDMENT ITSELF WAS
REQUESTED BY THE EXECUTIVE
BECAUSE IT WAS INADVERTENTLY
LEFT OUT OF THE BUDGET WHEN IT
WAS TRANSMITTED.
THE IMPACT OF THE AMENDMENT IS
TO REVISE THE PROVISO THAT THE
COUNCIL FACED ON THE CITY
BUDGET FOR PREFILING DIVERSION
IN THE 2022 ADOPTED BUDGET. IN
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET, WE PUT
PROVISO ON $1 MILLION FOR
PREFILING DIVERSION.
COUNCIL BILL 1203 66, THE BILL
IN QUESTION TRANSFERS $200,000
FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY TO THE
HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT FOR
PREFILING DIVERSION CONTRACTS.
WE HAPPILY, I'M GLAD TO SAY,
ALL PREFILING DIVERSION DOLLARS
IN THE BUDGET MOVING FORWARD,
WE WILL EMAIL THIS AMENDMENT TO
THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON FRIDAY.
THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND HUMAN
SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETING
HAPPENING TOMORROW MORNING AT
9:30 A.M., THE AGENDA INCLUDES
A FOLLOW-UP PRESENTATION ON GUN
VIOLENCE WITH PREVENTERS --
PRESENTERS FROM THE REGIONAL
DOMESTIC VIOLENT FIREARMS UNIT,

COUNTY.
THIS IS MUCH LIKE THE KING
COUNTY COUNCIL IS DOING, WE ARE
HAVING A SERIES OF
PRESENTATIONS ON THE WORK THAT
KING COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH IS
DOING WITH THE CONTRIBUTION
FROM THE CITY OF SEATTLE'S
FUNDS.
WE HAD A SORT OF OVERVIEW AT
THE LAST COMMITTEE WITH
EVERYTHING AND NOW WE ARE GOING
TO HAVE A MORE IN-DEPTH, SOME
IN THE WEEDS DISCUSSIONS ON
PROGRAMS TOMORROW MORNING.
WE WILL ALSO BE RECEIVING AN
ABORTION ACCESS [ INDISCERNIBLE
] FROM KING COUNTY AND FINALLY,
WE ARE GOING TO HEAR THE
REQUIRED ACCOUNTABILITY
LEGISLATION -- REQUIRED THESE BE
REPORTED AND HEARD IN THE
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE, THE
2022 MIDYEAR ACCOUNTABILITY
REPORT FROM THE COMMITTEE
POLICE, THE OFFICE OF THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL, AND THE
OFFICE OF [ INDISCERNIBLE ]
ACCOUNTABILITY.
BECAUSE I KNOW THERE IS GREAT
TRUST IN THE FINDING ON MAYOR
HAROLD, JUST WANT TO BE
TRANSPARENT AND TELL FOLKS WHAT
THE SCHEDULE IS MOVING FORWARD.
I KNOW THERE WAS A PRESS
CONFERENCE ANNOUNCING THE BILL
BACK ON JULY 13th.
THERE IS A CHOICE FROM OUR
COUNCIL PRESIDENT URGING ACTION
ON TUESDAY, JULY 19th.
I RECEIVED THE BILL ON
WEDNESDAY, JULY 20th.
COUNCIL STAFF IS REVIEWING THE
BILL.
THERE ARE QUESTIONS FOR THE
EXECUTIVE.
WE INTEND TO HAVE IT ON THE
AUGUST SECOND INTRODUCTION
REFERRAL COMMITTEE.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE
WONDERING ABOUT WHY IT'S NOT ON
TOMORROW, I THINK I GAVE A
LITTLE BIT OF AN OVERVIEW OF
WHY THAT IS, BUT I WANT TO
EXPLAIN HOW HAVING IT ON THE
SECOND VERSE THE 26th MAKES NO
DIFFERENCE.
THE PUBLIC SAFETY HUMAN
SERVICES COMMITTEE HEARING IS
IN THE MORNING TOMORROW.
AND THE IRC VOTE IS IN THE
AFTERNOON TOMORROW.
THE SOONEST WE COULD HEAR IT
EVEN IF IT HAD BEEN ABLE TO BE
REFERRED TOMORROW IS ON THE
NINTH.
AND IRC ON THE SECOND,
COMMITTEE ON THE NINTH,
INFORMATION HAS BEEN CONVEYED
TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.
THEY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE OF THE
TIMING THERE IS LITTLE
DIFFERENCE IN AN IRC VOTE
TOMORROW VERSUS NEXT TUESDAY.
THANK YOU.
SO TO SUM UP, POLICE OFFICER
RECRUITMENT IS PLANNED FOR THE
AUGUST 9th COMMITTEE MEETING
AND THE SCHEDULE [
INDISCERNIBLE ] WITH THE
PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED QUARTERLY
UPDATE ON THE BUDGET OVER TIME
[ INDISCERNIBLE ] QUARTERLY
REPORT.
MOVING FORWARD, REALLY EXCITED
TO HEAR THAT FOLKS FROM THE
COUNCIL ARE PLANNING ON
ATTENDING SOME OF THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS
AS PART OF THE [ INDISCERNIBLE
] COMMITTEE LEADING UP TO THE
APPOINTMENT OF A PERMANENT
POLICE CHIEF.
THERE'S A SERIES OF THOSE
MEETINGS HAPPENING.
THE FORUM WILL BE MODERATED BY
BEN McBRIDE FROM POWER
INSTITUTE.
THERE'S AN ORGANIZATION THAT
HAS WORKED WITH HUNDREDS OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT EXECUTIVES AND
AGENCIES.
THE GOAL FOR THE CONVERSATIONS,
TO CREATE SAFE SPACE FOR THE
COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO INFORM THE
PROCESS AND FUTURE EFFORT FOR
PUBLIC SAFETY FOR ALL
COMMUNITIES.
ALSO, SOME OF THE MEETING, IF
YOU LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE, IF
YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC FOCUS OR
SPECIFIC DEMOGRAPHIC FOCUS FOR
WHO THEY ARE WORKING TO ENGAGE
WITH, I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT
ALL OF THE MEETINGS ARE WELCOME
TO ALL FOLKS TO ATTEND.
THE FIRST IS TONIGHT [
INDISCERNIBLE ] WHERE THE
COMMUNITY FOCUSES ON FAITH
COMMUNITIES AND FOLKS IN THE
CENTRAL DISTRICT AND SOUTH
SEATTLE.
TOMORROW, THERE WILL BE A
VIRTUAL MEETING WITH A BUSINESS
FOCUS, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC FOCUS
MEETING AT NORTH SEATTLE
COLLEGE.
ON THE 30th ON SATURDAY, THERE
WILL BE A MEETING WITH THE
YOUTH FOCUS AT RANIER BEACH

MORE INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND
AT SEATTLE.GOV/MAYOR/1 DASH
SEATTLE DASH
INITIATIVES/TRAN37.
MEETING THIS WEEK, MY TWICE
MONTHLY MEETING WITH CHIEF
DIAZ, THAT IS COMING UP
TOMORROW.
LAST WEEK WAS REALLY PLEASED TO
PARTICIPATE, I THINK, THE THIRD
MEETING OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE
SEARCH COMMITTEE, AND ALSO HAD
MY MEETING WITH THE INTERIM OPA
DIRECTOR, JUST A FEW PUBLIC
HEALTH UPDATES, I DID HEAR
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON MAKE A
REQUEST FOR SOME INFORMATION ON
THE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S
EFFORTS AROUND MONKEYPOX AT
LAST WEEK'S PUBLIC HEALTH
MEETING, INTERIM DIRECTOR --
ACTUALLY, [ INDISCERNIBLE ] IT
WAS [ INDISCERNIBLE ] GAVE A
STAFF REPORT THAT INCLUDED AN
UPDATE ON THE COUNTY'S EFFORTS
ON ADDRESSING MONKEYPOX
TRANSMISSION.
I WILL WORK TO FIND THAT IN MY
INBOX AND SHARE IT.
ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU, THAT
AS OF THIS MORNING THERE ARE 84
CASES.
THE NATIONAL SUPPLY OF VACCINE
FOR MONKEYPOX IS LIMITED.
WE DO -- KANE COUNTY DOES HAVE
OUR INITIAL ALLOCATION OF 1420
DOSES AND PUBLIC HEALTH IS
WORKING WITH PROVIDERS TO
DISTRIBUTE THOSE DOSES.
AGAIN, 84 CASES SO FAR.
AND 1400 DOSES, FOR FOLKS WHO
HAVE NOT BEEN INFECTED WE ARE
EXPECTING MORE VACCINES INTO
THE SUMMER AND FALL.
THE CDC IS SETTING THE CRITERIA
WORKING WITH WASHINGTON STATE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ON HOW
MUCH VACCINE THEY GET, AND
WHERE IT IS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS
THE STATE.
A LITTLE BIT ON SEVERE HEAT, WE
KNOW WE ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE
SEVERE HEAT EVENTS THIS WEEK
WITH HIGHS IN THE 90s.
MOST SEATTLE HOUSEHOLDS DON'T
HAVE AIR-CONDITIONING AT HOME.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE
PRECAUTIONS.
THE MEMBER TO STAY HYDRATED,
DRINK LOTS OF WATER.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER BEFORE YOU
FEEL THIRSTY.
USE THE BLINDS AND CURTAINS.
USE FANS.
AND CHECK ON YOUR NEIGHBORS,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE
NEIGHBORS WHO ARE SENIORS AND
FOLKS WHO HAVE VULNERABLE
CONDITIONS, AND DON'T LEAVE
YOUR PETS OUTSIDE OR YOUR
CHILDREN ALONE IN VEHICLES.
FOR PLACES YOU CAN GO TO IF IT
GETS TOO HOT AT HOME, THERE ARE
FOUR COMMUNITY CENTERS THAT
HAVE AC AND WILL BE OPEN FROM
2:00 UNTIL 8:00 THIS WEEK.
INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT
CLIENTELE, NORTH GATE, EDISON
PARK.
THE CENTRAL LIBRARY AND 17
BRANCHES HAVE AIR-CONDITIONING.
YOU CAN FIND THE CLOSEST ONE IN
THE OPENING HOURS AT
FPL.ORG/TODAY.
ALSO, FIVE SENIOR CENTERS WILL
BE OPEN FOR COOLING WITH AIR
CONDITIONING.
PLEASE CALL AHEAD FOR HOURS.
THE LIST OF THE CENTERS AS WE
KNOW THEM RIGHT NOW, THE
CENTRAL AREA, GREENWOOD, PIKE
MARKET, SOUTHEAST SEATTLE, AND
THE SENIOR CENTER OF WEST
SEATTLE.
THEN LASTLY, REALLY IMPORTANT
TO NOTE THAT KING COUNTY [
INDISCERNIBLE ] IS OPENING
INDOOR DAYTIME COOLING SPACES
STARTING TOMORROW FOR PEOPLE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
YOU CAN FIND THEM AT KANE
COUNTY -- SORRY TO SAY -- [
INDISCERNIBLE ] AND SEARCH FOR
SEVERE WEATHER UPDATES.
I WANT TO ALSO HIGHLIGHT SOME
GOOD NEWS IN DISTRICT I. I
THINK MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD ME
TALK ABOUT THE SOUTH PARK
COMMUNITY CENTER THAT HAS BEEN
CLOSED.
IT DIDN'T REOPEN WHEN OTHER
COMMUNITY CENTERS REOPENED
AFTER COVID TRANSMISSIONS WERE
DOWN.
IT DIDN'T REOPEN DUE TO
STABILIZATION IN THE NETWORK AT
THE SOUTH PARK COMMUNITY
CENTER.
BUT THAT WORK HAS BEEN DELAYED.
IT IS NOW EXPECTED TO NOT
HAPPEN UNTIL THE END OF THE
YEAR.
MULTIPLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS
WELL AS THE SOUTHWEST PRECINCT
CAPTAIN HAVE BEEN RAISING THE
ALARM ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE
IS A CLOSED BUILDING WITH NO
RENOVATION HAPPENING AND AN
INCREASE IN GANG ACTIVITY IN
SUTH PARK THIS SUMMER
INCLUDING A 14-YEAR-OLD WHO WAS
RECENTLY A VICTIM OF GANG
VIOLENCE.
SO THEY HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MY
OFFICE USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO
CALL FOR THE CENTER TO REOPEN
SO PEOPLE IN SOUTH PARK HAVE A
PLACE TO BE THIS SUMMER.
SOUTH PARK IS A PRETTY ISOLATED
AREA FROM OTHER COMMUNITY
CENTERS, PARK TOWN, IT HAS THE
HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF KIDS
OF ANY SEATTLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UNIQUELY, GREEN SPACE AND
COMMUNITY SPACE.
AND LAST WEEK, YOU KNOW,
SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE GREASE
SOMETIMES.
WE HAVE BEEN LIFTING UP THE
VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE
PARKS AND AT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE
AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER
REOPENING, AND I LEARNED LAST
WEEK THAT SOUTH PARK RESIDENTS
CAN ONCE AGAIN USE THE
COMMUNITY CENTER.
I WANTED TO SHARE THAT BIT OF
GOOD NEWS.
AS FAR AS COMMITTEES COMING UP
THIS WEEK, THURSDAY, THE
REGIONAL LAW OF SAFETY AND
JUSTICE COMMITTEE, THEN ON
THURSDAY, THE LEADERSHIP LINK,
THE INTERVENTION AND CHANGE
PROGRAM COMMITTEE MEETING THAT
I REPRESENT THE CITY ON, AND
ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT OFFICE
HOURS THIS WEEK.
I HAVE OFFICE HOURS IN
DISTRICT, IN PERSON, THIS
FRIDAY BETWEEN 3:00 AND 7:00 AT
THE [ INDISCERNIBLE ] CENTER.
AND ANOTHER BIG EVENT COMING
UP THIS WEEK IS ON WEDNESDAY.
I AM COHOSTING WITH KING COUNTY
HOMELESS AUTHORITY, DISTRICT I
HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE WORKSHOP,
THEY ARE WORKING IN DIFFERENT
DISTRICTS.
MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN DOING
OUTREACH WITH THEM TO IDENTIFY
THE PROVIDERS IN EACH DISTRICT

THEM.
HAPPY TO HELP THEM PLAN AND
PARTICIPATE IN THAT COMING UP.
FINALLY, ON THURSDAY, I WILL BE
ATTENDING THE WEST SEATTLE
COALITION -- ALL I'VE GOT,
ANYBODY FOR COMMENTS?
>> NOT SEEING ANY, I WILL PASS
IT TO COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS.
