MOVING ALONG TO APPROVAL OF THE

INTRODUCTION AND REFERRAL
CALENDAR, IS THERE A SECOND?
THANK YOU.
IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED
FOR ADOPTION OF THE
INTRODUCTION AND REFERRAL
CALENDAR, ARE THERE ANY
COMMENTS ? COUNCILMEMBER
MORALES?
>> I MOVE TO AMEND THE
INTRODUCTION REFERRAL CALENDAR

ORDINANCE TO THE JUST CAUSE OF
EVICTION.
22.205.100 OF THE SEATTLE CITY
CODE.
>> IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED
TO AMEND THE INTRODUCTION
REFERRAL CALENDAR BY ADDING A
BILL AS DESCRIBED BY
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES.
AND REFERRING IT TO THE
SUSTAINABILITY AND RENTERS
RIGHT COMMITTEE WHICH I BELIEVE
IS THIS FRIDAY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS
BEFORE I GO TO A VOTE?
>> YES.
SO THIS IS A BILL THAT WE SAID
THAT WOULD AMEND THE SIXTH
MONTH DEFENSE ORDINANCE AND THE
REASON THAT COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT IS NOT ABLE TO BE HERE
TODAY.
I'M I CAN DO THIS ON HER
BEHALF.
WE'RE TRYING TO WALK THE BILL
ON TO TODAY'S IRC CALENDAR
RATHER THAN WAIT UNTIL NEXT
WEEK.
MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE NEED TO
HAVE THE COUNCIL BILL REQUIRED
30 DAYS AFTER SIGNATURE BY THE
MAYOR TO GO INTO EFFECT.
THIS WOULD AVOID AN OVERLAP
WITH THE JUNE 30th DEADLINE
THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS IN THE
BILL.
>> I NEED A SECOND.
I'M SORRY.
>> SECOND.
>> THANK YOU.
>> SO YOU SPOKE TO IT.
AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
LET ME SAY A FEW THINGS BEFORE
WE MOVE TO THE VOTE.
I APOLOGIZE.
I JUMPED A LITTLE QUICK.
NORMALLY I DO NOT LIKE AND
DISCOURAGE WALK ONS.
WE KNOW THIS CASE STARTED IN
KING COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT.
WENT TO THE COURT OF APPEALS.
WE HAD LEGAL OPINIONS A COUPLE
WEEKS AGO, AND THERE WERE A FEW
DISRUPTIONS NOT COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT'S FAULT.
THAT'S KIND OF WE HAD SOME
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.
SO I WILL BE VOTING TO SUP
POFORT TO AMEND THE
INTRODUCTION REFERRAL CALL P
DAR TO REFER THIS TO COMMITTEE.
NORMALLY I'M A STICKLER ABOUT
RULES AND DEADLINES, THEY'RE
THERE FOR A REASON.
BUT I'M AMENABLE WHEN THERE'S
UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES COMING
UP WITH AN INDIVIDUAL
COUNCILMEMBER'S SCHEDULE.
WE HAVE A TIMELINE.
AND WE HAVE HAD LEGAL ANALYSIS.
THANK YOU ASHA FOR GIVING US
THE INFORMATION AND WHY WE'RE
MOVING THIS FORWARD TO GET IT
INTO COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT'S
COMMITTEE ON FRIDAY.
AND I WANT TO THANK
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES FOR
MOVING THIS FORWARD ON HER
BEHALF.

COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL
PRESIDENT.
I APPRECIATE THE INTENT OF THE
SPONSOR TO WANT TO REFINE THAT
LEGISLATION BASED ON A COURT
CASE THAT'S IN PLAY.
I WILL BE REQUESTING AN
EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS
THIS.
BECAUSE OF THE LEGAL RISKS
INVOLVED.
FOR THE CITY.
SO IT'S HAPPENING VERY QUICKLY.
SO I JUST WANT TO HOPE THAT WE
CAN MEET WITH OUR ATTORNEYS
ABOUT IT AND DISCUSS.
THANK YOU.
>> COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN, I
KNOW THAT YOU WERE DOING THAT.

SPIES.
HOWARD?
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
HOWARD GAIL WITH SEATTLE
STOP.ORG.
COMMENTING ON OUR FAILED POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
FIVE YEARS AGO SEATTLE PASSED
WHAT WAS CONSIDERED HISTORIC
POLICE ACCOUNT ABILITY
LEGISLATION.
THEN ONE MONTH LATER THE
SEATTLE POLICE MANY MERGE
MURDERED A PREGNANT MOTHER OF
FOUR.
DESPITE THE OUTRAGE, THE SPD
WENT ON TO MURDER TAN ANY
RODRIGUEZ, RYAN SMITH, SEAN LEE
FUR, TERRY CAVER.
MURDERED JUST SIX DAYS BEFORE
GEORGE FLOYD.
DEREK HAYDEN AND THE STILL
UNNAMED PERSON KILLED IN BEACON
HILL ON JANUARY 5th.
ALL WERE MURDERED WITHIN
SECONDS OF POLICE ARRIVING.
ALL THESE MURDERS DESPITE THE
EGREGIOUS FAILURES OF POLICE TO
FOLLOW POLICIES OF DEESCALATION
WERE CHEMOD QUOTE LAWFUL AND
PROPER.
BY OUR HISTORIC BUT CLEARLY
FAILED POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM.
THE COUNCIL REMAINS WEDDED TO A
SYSTEM THAT SERVES NO ONE'S
NEEDS.
WHEN THE SEATTLE HUMAN RIGHTS
COMMISSION TRIES TO ADDRESS
THESE FAILINGS, THEY'RE
SILENCED BY THE CITY.
THE SAME COUNCILMEMBERS THAT
SEEMINGLY FIND IT ACCEPT THABL
THE SPD CAN END THE LIFE OF A
MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY AND
FOLLOW THAT WITH ERASING THEIR
MEMORY BY ALLOWING THAT PERSON
TO REMAIN UNNAMED FOR OVER FOUR
MONTHS NOW.
WE NEED TO BUILD AN INITIATIVE
OF A POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES FULL
PATROL OVER POLICE.
GO TO SEATTLESTOP.ORG.
TO FIND OUT NOW.
OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS CYNTHIA
SPIES.
>> I'M CYNTHIA SPIES.
AN INDEPENDENT SECURITY
RESEARCHER AND DISTRICT SIX
RESIDENT.
THE CITY IS NOT ENGAGED WITH
THE PUBLIC ON SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGIES.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE
PUBLIC'S'S QUESTIONS.
THIS IMPLIES THAT SPD DOESN'T
UNDERSTAND THE TOOLS OR IS --
GIVEN THE LACK OF HOPPEST
COMMITMENT TO THE ORDINANCE
PROCESS.
NEITHER OF THE TWO TECHNOLOGIES
SHOULD BE APPROVED BY CITY
COUPE SILL.
COUNCILMEMBERS SOWMED -- FOR
ANY -- AFTER ALL THE PUBLIC'S
QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.
SPD IS DODGING ONE OF THE KEY
PURPOSES OF SURVEILLANCE
ORDINANCE, TO PROVIDE
TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY.
TIED TO SPD PROVIDING ANSWERS
TO THE PUBLIC'S QUESTIONS.
THIS IS IMPORTANT GIVEN THESE
GROUPS ARE GOING THROUGH THEIR
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
IT'S UP TO COUNCILMEMBERS TO
INSERT THE PROCESS DOESN'T
CONTINUE WHILE LEAVING
COMMUNITY QUESTIONS UNACCOUNTED
FOR.
I EMAILED THREE WAYS TO FIX
AMENDMENTS.
I SUGGEST A FEEDBACK FROM SPD.
AND MEET CONTENT FROM COMMUNITY
MEMBERS.
I ALSO EMAILED YOU PRECISE
RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING TOOL
FUNCTIONALITY.
CONTRACTUAL.
DATA SHARING, VALIDATION, AND
PRIVACY.
IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CITY
COUNCIL TO HEED THE CONCERNS OF
THE PUBLIC B AND ADD OFFICIAL
GUARDRAILS.
SEE MY EMAIL FOR DETAILED
RECOMMENDATIONS YOU SHOULD TAKE
ON THESE SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGIES.
THANK YOU.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS DAVID
HAYNES, HE'LL BE FOLLOWED BY
JENNIFER LEE, DAVID, GO AHEAD.
DAVID HAINS DISTRICT SEVEN.
EXTREMISM IS FUELED BY SKIN
COLOR JUDGMENT.
EXTREMISTS JUDGE SKIN COLOR
DOES THAT MAKE A RACE AND
SOCIAL JUSTICE LENSE EXTREMIST.
WHAT ABOUT PRIORITIZING REPEAT
OFFENDERS.
VIA JUST CARE PUBLIC DEFENDER
AND LEAD.
IS THAT EXTREMIST?
IS CITY COUNCIL FAMILIAR WITH
THE NEWS REPORT ABOUT THE TWO
HOMELESS WOMEN RAPED AT THE
SAME ENCAMPMENT BY THE SAME LOW
LEVEL DRUG PUSHER.
ONE OF THOSE WOMEN WAS A NATIVE
AMERICAN WHO WAS EIGHT MONTHS
PREGNANT.
THEY WERE NEVER OUTREACHED.
ONLY CERTAIN BOTHER SOME
ENCAMPMENTS WHERE CITY COUNCIL
PLACED POLITICS WITH COMMUNITY
ARE PRIORITIZED FOR HELP.
PERHAPS THIS IS A SOBERING WAKE
UP CALL FOR COUNCIL'S
INVESTMENT IN THE HOMELESS
CRISIS AND THE POLICY THAT SEES
MOST MONEY FOR HOMELESS USED
UNNECESSARILY SUFFERING.
BEING VICTIMIZED AND DENIED BY
RADICAL RACIST WOKE EXTREME
AGENDA TO UP END A CIVILIZED
SOCIETY HELPING THE WRONG
PEOPLE IN THE WRONG LOCATION TO
APPEASE THE EXTREMELY UPSET
BUSINESS COMMUNITY STILL
DEALING WITH THE SIDE EFFECTS
OF COUNCIL, POLICE CHIEF, THE
MAYOR, AND THE PROSECUTOR'S
OFFICE STILL EXEMPTING LOW
LEVEL DRUG PUSHERS FROM JAIL.
COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST
HUMANITY, IMPLODING CITY.
YOU'VE DESTROYED NORMALCY WITH
RACIST, TREASONOUS.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS JENNIFER
LEE.
AND SHE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY
BILL JAMES WHO IS CURRENTLY
LISTED AS NOT PRESENT.
JENNIFER?
HELLO.
MY NAME IS JENNIFER LEE OF THE
ACLU OF WASHINGTON.
AND I'M A MEMBER OF THE
COMMUNITY SURVEILLANCE WORKING
GROUP COMMENTING ON AGENDA ITEM
CB REGARDING SPD AUDIO
RECORDING SYSTEMS.
FOR STB AUDIO RECORDING
SYSTEMS.
WE APPRECIATE THE DISCLOSURE OF
THE MANUFACTURER.
HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL VERY
CONCERNED THAT THE SIR DOES NOT
SPECIFY THE MODEL NAMES AND
NUMBERS OF THE AUDIO RECORDING
DEVICES.
THAT LIMITS THE ABILITY OF THE
PUBLIC TO REVIEW THIS
TECHNOLOGY.
WITHOUT PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF
THE MANUFACTURER, AUTO NAMES
AND NUMBERS, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
FOR THERE TO BE MEANINGFUL
REVIEW.
SPD SHOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO
DISCLOSE FOR HOW MANY INCIDENTS
PER YEAR THEY USE AUDIO
RECORDING SYSTEMS.
WE'RE CONCERNED THAT THE CITY'S
CONTRACT WITH IBM HAS NOT BEEN
PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
LIKELY TO GENERATE DATA ERRORS
THAT COME BOUND EXISTING
BIASES.
THERE ARE NO LIMITS TOP KINDS
OF DATA.
WE ASK THAT YOU REQUIRE THAT
SPD OR THE CITY MAKE THE
CONTRACT WITH IBM PUBLICLY
AVAILABLE.
THAT SPD LIMITS THE DAY THAT
THAT MAY BE INPUTTED.
THE LONG DATA RETENTION PERIOD
IS SHORTENED.
AND THE NUMBER OF TIMES IT'S
USED PER YEAR IS DISCLOSED.
AND THAT PREDICTIVE POLICING IS
BANNED.
WE HAVE MANY CONCERNS.
AND WE URGE COUNCILMEMBERS TO
PAUSE ON APPROVING THESE
TECHNOLOGIES, THANK YOU.
>>> WE WILL MOVE INTO THE
COMMITTEE REPORT OF THE AGENDA.
WE HAVE THREE ITEMS ON THE
AGENDA.
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON HAS THE
FIRST TWO AND I HAVE THE LAST
ONE.
LET'S START WITH ITEM NUMBER 1.
CAN YOU READ ITEM 1?
>> THE REPORT OF THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT, TECHNOLOGY AND
COMMITTEE COCOUNSEL BILL AGENDA
ITEM 1. 012-0327.
THE AUTHORIZING THE USES OF
ACCEPTING THE SURVEILLANCE
IMPACT REPORT AND EXECUTIVE
OVERVIEW FOR THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT'S USE OF AUDIO
RECORDING SYSTEMS.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THE
BILL PASSES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER NELSON?
>> THE 2017 SURVEILLANCE
ORDINANCE REQUIRES DEPARTMENTS
TO RETAIN ADVANCED COUNCIL
APPROVAL FOR THE ACQUISITION OF
SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY AND TO
REQUEST RETROACTIVE APPROVAL IF
THE TECHNOLOGIES HAVE ALREADY
BEEN IN USE WHEN THE BILL WAS
PASSED.
THESE BILLS REFER TO THE
LATTER.
THERE ARE TWO TECHNOLOGIES THAT
MAKE UP GROUP 4 A. I WILL
INTRODUCE HOW THEY HAVE BEEN
DEALT WITH IN THE COMMUNITY.
THE BILL 120307 WOULD APPROVE
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S USE OF
AUDIO RECORDING SYSTEMS AND
ACCEPT THE SURVEILLANCE IMPACT
REPORT IN AN OVERVIEW FOR THE
TECHNOLOGY.
AT OUR APRIL 27 MEETING WE HAD
A JOINT VISITATION FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY.
AND THE SEATTLE POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
THEY WENT OVER WHAT THESE
RECORDINGS WERE USED FOR.
WE ALSO HAD A PRESENTATION FROM
CENTRAL STAFF ON SOME POLICY
CONCERNS OR ISSUES THAT WERE
BROUGHT UP IN THE PROCESS.
AT THE LAST MEETING ON MAY 11,
WE DISCUSSED AMENDMENTS AND
AMENDED THE BILL AND PASSED IT
UNANIMOUSLY.
I WILL OPEN IT FOR QUESTIONS ON
THIS BILL.
THEN WE CAN MOVE ON TO
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEXT BILL.
>> I WILL OPEN IT FOR QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER NELSON?
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS THAT MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE?
>> I WANT TO FLAG THE AMENDMENT
TO THE LEGISLATION.
MOSTLY BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE WORKING GROUP.
I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WERE
TABLED AMENDMENTS THAT I WAS
INTERESTED IN PURSUING.
BECAUSE OF CAPACITY ISSUES WE
WERE UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD.
I DO WANT TO THANK
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON FOR MAKING
TIME IN THE COMMITTEE FOR THE
DISCUSSION OF THESE AMENDMENTS
AND APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT OF
THE MEMBERS THAT WERE ABLE TO
VOTE.
ONE WAS REQUESTING A REPORT,
DESCRIBING HOW IT ENSURES THE
AUTHENTICITY.
>> ANOTHER AMENDMENT WAS IT WAS
THE APPROACH AS IT RELATED TO
BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY.
WE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT THE
ADDITION OF NEW TECH KNOWLEDGE
HE WOULD REQUIRE COUNCIL
ACTION.
THE SORT OF DOUBLETS DOWN.
WE WOULD REQUIRE SBD TO REVISE
OR CONDUCT BEFORE MOVING
FORWARD.
THE THIRD AMENDMENTS DOES NOT
GO AS FAR AS WE HEARD IN PUBLIC
COMMENT.
WE REQUIRE THAT THEY IDENTIFY
THE MANUFACTURERS AND VENDORS
OF THE AUDIO RECORDING SYSTEM
AND REPLICATING IN AMENDMENTS
THAT THERE WAS A STAPLE IN THE
COMMITTEE.
THERE IS AN AMENDMENT THAT
REQUIRES THEM TO RIP COURT ON
THE ASSESSMENT.
OR ON THE METRICS THEY ARE
USING.
AND TWO INCLUDED IN THEIR
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT.
>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER
COMMENTS?
>> WILL THE CLERK CALLED THE
ROLE?

PROGRAM THAT IS USED IN THE
COURSE OF INVESTIGATION.
THIS BILL WAS AMENDED.
I WILL PROVIDE TIME FOR
COUNCILMEMBERS STRAUSS AND
HERBOLD.
>> TO ANY COLLEAGUES HAVE
COMMENTS OR ISSUES TO RAISE?
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD?
>> WE REQUESTED THAT THEY TAKE
A LOOK AT THE RETENTION POLICY
AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
MINIMUM PERIOD ALLOWED BY STATE
AND FEDERAL LAW WHICH ALSO
DEFINES A CLEAR DELETION
OVERSIGHT PROCESS.
WE ALSO AMENDED LEGISLATION TO
REQUEST SBD REPORT ON EMPLOYEE
ACCESSOR GUIDELINES FOR USE.
AGAIN, WE INCLUDED THE EQUITY
METRIC THAT I MENTIONED IN THE
LAST ALL.
>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD.
IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON?
WILL THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL ON THE PASSAGE OF THE
BILL?
>> [ ROLL CALL ]
>> 7 IN FAVOR AND NONE OPPOSED
>> THE BILL PASSES AND THE
CHAIR WILL SIGN IT.
MADAME CLERK, PLEASE AFFIX MY
SIGNATURE TO THE PASSAGE OF THE
BILL.

OF 32029.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THE
RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED AS A
MEASURED.
>> AS A SPONSOR, I WILL SPEAK
TO THE RESOLUTION.
I DID YESTERDAY AS WELL.
IT IS SOME OF THE REASONS OF
HOW WE GOT HERE.
WHEN I AM DONE I WILL OPEN IT
FOR COMMENTS.
ON APRIL 28, THE NATIVE
COMMUNITIES AND TRAVEL
GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION 32051
UNANIMOUSLY.
I SPOKE TO THIS BRIEFLY
YESTERDAY.
NUMBER 1, MAKING TECHNICAL
CLARIFICATION.
NUMBER 2, GUIDANCE TO THE USE
OF THE CONSENT CALENDAR.
THE AMENDMENT WOULD ALLOW THE
CALENDARS TO INCLUDE
ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS WHERE
THERE IS NO DEBATE.
IT ALONE ALSO ALLOWS FOR ANY
ITEM ON THE CALENDAR TO BE
REMOVED BY ANY COUNCILMEMBER
THAT WOULD LIKE IT REMOVED FOR
FURTHER DISCUSSION.
THIRD, IT CLARIFIES THE RULE
REGARDING ABSTENTIONS.
THIS WOULD RELIEVE THE COUNCIL
PRESIDENT FOR MAKING THE
DETERMINATION WHICH RESOLUTIONS
TO ALLOW.
THEN EITHER VOTE OR ABSTAIN AS
DEEMED FIT.
WITH THAT, I DID SHARE, I
BELIEVE ALLIE MAY BE AVAILABLE.
I THINK COUNCILMEMBERS PEDERSEN
. SOME OF YOU OTHER FOLKS THAT
WEIGHED IN ABOUT WHAT THE
ISSUES WERE.
WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS
SINCE JANUARY.
ACTUALLY DECEMBER.
THAT WE FINALLY GOT IT ACROSS
THE FINISH LINE.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS THAT I CAN ANSWER?
WILL THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE
ROLE OF THE PASSAGE OF THE
RESOLUTION?
