THE ONE YOU SUGGESTED I AM
LOOKING AT THE SECOND MEETING.
THE REASON I AM HERE, I CARE
ABOUT MY TOWN. I WANTED TO BE
SAFE. IT IS VOTED. SORRY, I
THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE LONGER. I
WANTED OUR COMMUNITY TO BE
SAFE. THANKS.
>> IF YOU DON'T MIND EITHER
ONE OF THESE TWO PODIUMS, WE
HAVE MORE SPEAKERS. THANK YOU.
>> MY NAME IS MIKE GAGNE. I AM
FROM WEST SEATTLE. I AM IN
FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED BILL. IT
IS PAST TIME THAT WE REDO
SOMETHING -- WE DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THE CRIME. RACING
MOTORCYCLES AND GROUPS
GATHERING. IS GOING TO
ENCOURAGE THIS TYPE OF
ACTIVITY. IT IS OUT-OF-CONTROL
AND DANGEROUS TO ALLOW THEM TO
CONTINUE ON OUR PUBLICS? --
STREETS. THEY ARE TRYING TO
GROW. DAY AND NIGHT, IT IS
CONTINUAL. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS
ACTIVITY. IT NEEDS TO STOP. WE
TAKE OUR STREETS BACK. WE URGE
YOU ALL IN THE CITY COUNCIL TO
APPROVE THIS BILL. ALONG THIS
BEHAVIOR TO CONTINUE IS NOT
RIGHT OR IT THOSE WHO BREAK THE
LAWS NEED TO HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
THAT'S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS.
THE ACTIVITIES ALL AROUND OUR
CITY, INCREASE CRIME,
ACTIVITIES, AND SHOOTINGS. WE
NEED TO STOP THIS. I APPROVE.
>> DAVE PUMPHREY, I LIVE ON
HARBOR AVENUE. I AM HERE IN
SUPPORT OF COUNSEL BILL 120.
---806. I WAS HERE ONE YEAR
AGO. YOU DID PASS THE
DESIGNATED RACING ZONES. THIS
INCLUDES THE SPEED ACTIVATED
TICKETING. I HOPE THAT WE CAN
MOVE FORWARD WITH MORE
LEGISLATION, AND REMEMBER THAT
LEGISLATION DOESN'T GET
ANYTHING DONE. THAT INCLUDES --
WE HAVE A POLICE DEPARTMENT
THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN APART BY
YOUR PREDECESSORS, AND THEY
HAVE YET TO BE ABLE TO BE
FORCED. WE HAVE TO EMPLOY
TECHNOLOGY, TO DETERMINE HOW WE
ENFORCE THIS. WE ARE LOOKING AT
THE TICKETED CAMERA SYSTEMS,
AMONG OTHERS. THANK YOU.
>> I AM JUST GOING TO READ SOME
NEWS TODAY. THIS CAME JULY
10th. SEATTLE RESTAURANT IS
CLOSING. IN THESE DAYS, IT IS
NOT SUSTAINABLE TO RUN THESE. A
SECOND ARTICLE FROM SEATTLE
TIMES, JULY 11, THIS IS BASED
ON THE SEATTLE BASES WITHOUT
DETAILS. ANOTHER ARTICLE IS
FROM JUNE 27th. THIS IS ALL OF
THEM FROM THIS YEAR. KEEPING
THEM APRIL, GREEN LAKE, BRING
THEM. -- [ INAUDIBLE ].
>> NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE.
>> TO ALL MY SEATTLE CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS, I IMPLORE YOU
TO VOTE TODAY. I AM A RESIDENT
OF HARBOR AVENUE SOUTHWEST. FOR
THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE
DRIFTING AND SOME DRIVING.
CHEERING ON ACTIVITIES.
ACTIVITIES ARE ALSO PROMOTING
ADDITIONAL LEGAL RIGHTS.
FIGHTS, PARTYING, EXTREME
LOUDNESS. NOW, THERE IS
GUNFIGHTS AND MURDER IN MY
FRONT YARD. THIS AVID TIVOLI --
ACTIVITY HAPPENS IN OUR OWN
FRONT YARD. NEGATIVE EFFECTS
THAT MANY LIVE WITH WITHIN
THEIR OWN HOMES. IT IS
INCUMBENT -- ONE TO BE EIGHT 06
TODAY.
>> IS GOING TO BE FROM THE
PODIUMS. THANK YOU.
>> I LIVE ON THE AVENUE. IT IS
ANOTHER THING THAT WE ARE GOING
TO BE HEARING. LOUD RACING
MUFFLER ENHANCED, CARS. THEY
DIDN'T COME FOR DINNER. THEY
DIDN'T COME FOR ABE [ BLEEP ]
THING, OTHER THAN TO SHOW UP
FOR EACH OTHER. THEY DIDN'T
COME TO BUY AN ICE CREAM CONE.
THEY DON'T LIVE THERE. NOBODY
LIKES THEM. NOBODY. I HAVE DONE
MY OWN PERSONAL SURVEY. THIS IS
NOT SCIENTIFIC. I HAVE ASKED
LOTS OF PEOPLE. NOBODY LIKES
THEM. I THINK IT IS GOING TO
TAKE SOME EFFORT TO GET THEM
OFF. I THINK WHAT IT IS, IT IS
A CULTURE BUILT IN RIGHT THERE.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF
POLICEMAN WERE RACERS. [
INAUDIBLE ].
>> THANK YOU. WE ARE OUT OF
TIME. NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M
CHARLOTTE STARK. PRESIDENT OF
COMMUNITY COUNSEL. I SNOWBALLED
INTO THE ROLE BECAUSE MY
PROPERTY WAS HIT BY A STREET
RACER. IT KNOCKED OUT 40 FEET
OF OUR PROPERTY WITH THE
VEHICLE LANDING AT 3:00 IN THE
MORNING. I AM HERE WITH ALL OF
MY NEIGHBORS. I AM PROUD TO
SUPPORT COUNCILMEMBER SAKA'S
-- I'M A JOURNALIST WITH EMMY
-- 17 DEATHS IN SAN DIEGO, AND
13 MONTHS WAS TOO MUCH. THE
CITY TOOK ACTION YEARS AGO. THE
SPORT HAS EVOLVED. YOU HAVE TO
ADDRESS THE SHOW, OR YOU WILL
NOT STOP THE RACING.
SPECTATORS, PEOPLE PROMOTING ON
SOCIAL MEDIA, ARE ACTUALLY
BEING ADDRESSED BY OTHER
CITIES. THAT MEANS IF YOU STOP
AND YOU BLOCK THE ROAD FOR
STREET RACERS, IF YOU BLOCK
FIRST RESPONDERS, IF YOU
PROMOTE SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU ARE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
>> EXCUSE ME. STACY, GREG, AND
THEN ARIANA RILEY.
>> HELLO. THANK YOU FOR HAVING
US TODAY. I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR
25 YEARS. EXACTLY WHAT
CHARLOTTE AND STEVE SAID. IT
HAS GOTTEN WORSE. WE WOULD LIKE
TO BACK COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, ON
WHAT HE IS TRYING TO HAVE DONE.
MAKE IT NOT FUN FOR THEM. MAKE
IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM
TO WANT TO DO IT. SUSPEND THE
LICENSE. GO DEEP ON THEM. NOT
JUST A FIND THAT THEY MAY
IGNORE, TAKE THE LICENSE AWAY.
SUSPEND THEM. THAT IS TAPPING
INTO THEIR JOB SECURITY. MAKE
IT MORE TOUGH FOR THEM. THANK
YOU.
>> HELLO, COUNSEL. I AM A
RESIDENT OF WEST SEATTLE FOR 72
YEARS. BEACH DRIVE FOR 12. I AM
NOW EIGHT YEARS ON 1300 AVENUE.
I WITNESSED SO MUCH HAPPENING.
THE BILL. 120806 AND ALL OF ITS
AMENDMENTS. WE NEED HELP. WE
ARE ASKING YOU FOR HELP. WE
NEED PEOPLE TO COME OUT. YOU
NEED TO WITNESS WHAT GOES ON.
NOT JUST ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK.
EVERY DAY, EVERY NIGHT. THE
NOISE, THE CONFUSION, THE
RACING, THE KILLINGS. I HAVE
NOTICED TWO CARS GOING DOWN
THERE FROM STREET RACING.
PEOPLE GETTING HURT, PEOPLE
GETTING INJURED. IT SCARES THE
DAYLIGHTS OUT OF EVERYBODY.
THANK YOU.
>> HI. MY NAME IS ARIANA RILEY.
I AM A RESIDENT OF WEST
SEATTLE. GEORGETOWN, SEATTLE
CENTER, SIX NIGHTS OF THE WEEK.
MY AVERAGE ORDER WAS ONE HOUR.
NOW IT IS LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.
THIS IS TRUE FOR OTHER DRIVERS
THAT I MET AS WELL. HE SAID HE
WORKS DOWNTOWN AND CAPITOL
HILL, AND AVERAGES ONE TO TWO
MINUTES. IN THIS MOMENT OVER
THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THERE IS
NO PROBLEM FOR THE VOLUME. THE
VAST MAJORITY THAT I TALKED TO,
WAS THE SAME AS THIS TIME LAST
YEAR. IF YOUR DELIVERY VOLUMES
ARE SLOWED DOWN, IT IS NOT DUE
TO PAY UP. THEY CAN DO MORE
EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO, DUE TO
STAFFING AND KITCHEN CAPACITY.
PLEASE KEEP IT THE PLACE AS IT
IS. THANK YOU.
>> I WILL GO TO REMOTE. WE WILL
GO BACK TO YOU IN PERSON.
>> THIS IS FOR THE REMOTE
SPEAKERS, I WANT TO REMIND YOU
TO PLEASE PRESS STAR 6F YOU
HEAR THE MESSAGE THAT YOU HAVE
BEEN ON MUTED. OUR FIRST REMOTE
SPEAKER IS ALBERTO ALOE VERA'S.
FOLLOWED BY OLIVER VISCO.
>> BEAR WITH ME I'M A LITTLE
BIT TIRED. IT HAS BEEN A BUSY
WEEK. IT HAS BEEN MORE BUSY
EVERY WEEK. PEOPLE ARE STILL
ORDERING FULL FAMILY MEALS OF
THAT DELICIOUS CURRY FROM THEIR
FAVORITE PLACE ACROSS TOWN. WE
ARE IN THE MIDST OF HEAT WAVES.
DRIVERS ARE OUT THERE FROM LAKE
CITY TO WEST SEATTLE, TO
CHINATOWN. DOWNTOWN, TO BRING
YOUR BEACH. WE ARE HERE IN THE
RAIN AND THE SNOW. WE WILL
ALWAYS BE HERE. 24/7, 365. WE
HAVE EARNED EVERYTHING THAT HAS
BEEN GIVEN TO US. THIS IS THE
HEADLINE FROM THE SEATTLE
LEADERS.COM. THE SEATTLE
RESTAURANT HAS DROPPED DOOR
DASH, AND HIRED ITS OWN
DELIVERY DRIVERS. UNPLUG THE
APP TO PROVIDE BETTER CUSTOMER
SERVICE. WE HAVE INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS AND HIRED DRIVERS.
THEY PROVIDE WORKERS WITH A
LIVING WAGE. THIS INCLUDES
PROTECTIONS, DIGNITIES, AND
LEVEL PLAYING FIELDS. WE BOTH
KNOW ANY REDUCTION.
>> THANK YOU. OUR LAST REMOTE
SPEAKER SIGNED UP, GO AHEAD
OLIVER.
>> THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT. I AM
AN EDUCATOR IN SEATTLE. WEST
SEATTLE. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE
AND VALIDATE ALL OF THE SAFETY
CONCERNS THAT THE MEMBERS OF
OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR CITY HAVE
SHARED WITH US TONIGHT. I JUST
WANT TO BRING UP THIS ISSUE.
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION
INVOLVES THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
THIS IS GOING TO BE STRONGLY
AGAINST THE PUNISHMENT THIS IS
CRIMINALIZED. THIS IS FROM
THESE INCIDENTS. I JUST WANTED
TO INCENTIVIZE THIS.
CRIMINALIZING BYSTANDERS, IT
REALLY RUNS.
>> THANK YOU. THAT IS OUR LAST
REMOTE SPEAKER. WE WILL MOVE
BACK TO IN PERSON.
>> THE NEXT SPEAKERS, ALEX
HOLTZMAN, JENNA MIDLAND. THANK
YOU.
>> I WANT TO THANK THE CITY FOR
PROPOSING STREET RACERS FOR THE
COUNCIL TODAY. CITY ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE, TO RESPOND WITH
MEANINGFUL WAYS TO DANGEROUS
AND DISTURBING STREET RACING
EVENTS, SUCH AS THOSE IN THE
RECENT SEATTLE NEIGHBORHOODS.
IF STREET RACING IS NOT DEALT
WITH, IT WILL CHANGE THE
CHARACTER OF OUR CITY FOR THE
WORST. THIS IS A LONG-STANDING
ISSUE, AND WAS A SIGNIFICANT
FACTOR WITH A DECISION THAT TWO
OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS MADE TO
MOVE AWAY FROM THE
NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY DECIDED TO
MAKE THE CITY OF SEATTLE --
ALTOGETHER. THEY CONTRIBUTE
POSITIVELY TO THE DAILY LIFE IN
LOCAL ECONOMY OF A FORMER
NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY DON'T
ALWAYS FEEL SAFE. IT IS TIME TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUE. PLEASE VOTE
CB 180206 AS AMENDED, THANK
YOU.
>> [ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL
LANGUAGE ]. I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE
MY BEST COUNSEL. I KNOW. 50,000
PEOPLE. I ADMIT IT IS TOO MUCH.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS.
NOBODY HAS ONE MINUTE. NO ONE
STANDS UP AND TALKS.
>> BRAINWASHED FOR 20 YEARS.
>> IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU
WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT ON THE
CALENDAR?
>> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
SOMETHING? SOMEBODY DOESN'T
GIVE ME TIME TO SPEAK.
>> ARE YOU SPEAKING ON
SOMETHING THAT IS ON THE
CALENDAR FOR TODAY?
>> YOU SPEAK FOR MY TIME.
>> CONTINUE.
>> IT IS NOT GOOD.
>> WHAT IS UP? WHAT IS MY TIME?
>> THIS IS FREE CONVERSATION.
YOU CANNOT CONTROL THIS. THIS
IS WITHOUT REASON.
>> FOLLOWING, GOING TO BE --
JOHN SWANSTON.
>> HI. 20 RESIDENT FROM
BELLTOWN. I'M HERE TO SPEAK
ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY AND DRUG
USE. SPECIFICALLY STREET
RACING. IT IS OUT OF CONTROL IN
BELLTOWN. I HAVE HAD TO CALL
911 TWICE IN THE LAST FEW
WEEKS. THIS IS WHILE WALKING ON
THE STREET. DRUG USE IS OUT OF
CONTROL. THE AUDIT THAT YOU PUT
OUT AND PUT SO MUCH WORK INTO,
SHOWS THAT. THIS IS THE DRUGS
ON OUR STREETS THAT WOULD HELP.
THIS IS BECAUSE OF THESE
THINGS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE YOU
TO CONSIDER THAT THERE IS A LOT
OF PUSHBACK WITH THE PILOT
PROGRAMS. SPECIFICALLY WESTERN
AVENUE. ALLOWING 20 STORE
BUILDINGS TO GO IN.
>> HELLO. I LIVE IN BELLTOWN.
LIKE MANY OF YOU, I HAVE SEEN
THE CITY CHANGE AND GROW OVER
THE YEARS. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY
THE AMENDMENT OF THE SEATTLE
DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION HAS
PROPOSED. ALLOWING PROJECTS IN
THIS PROPOSED PROGRAM TO EXCEED
1000 FEET OF BLOCK SIZE.
LOOKING AT CREATIVE WAYS TO
GROW. GROWING RESPONSIBLY AND
SUSTAINABLY. HOWEVER, THIS
PROGRAM WILL ALLOW THE
WATERFRONT TO BE BUILT. ALL THE
OTHER BUILDINGS ARE CAPPED AT
13 STORIES. THIS WILL HAVE A
NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE
COMMUNITY. I ENCOURAGE THE CITY
COUNCIL TO LOOK AT CREATIVE
WAYS TO DEVELOP THE SUSTAINABLY
-- IN THE CURRENT CHARACTER OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> THEY DID A STORY HOW THE
OWNER IS PUTTING OUT A STORY
ABOUT THE BUSINESS. THIS IS THE
PAY UP. WE WANT THE COUNCIL OF
THIS. WORKING WASHINGTON AND
THEIR SUPPORTERS SAID THAT
EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE.
DRIVE FORWARD TO THE RECENT
SURVEY, AND RESULTS SHOW THAT
NO ONE EXCEPT AMAZON WORKERS
ARE MAKING THE MINIMUM WAGE.
THE MAJORITY ARE ALL AVERAGING
NO CLOSE SEATTLE MINIMUM. THIS
IS CURRENTLY AT $40 PER HOUR.
RESTAURANTS ARE DOWN AND GOING
OUT OF BUSINESS. THEY ARE
MAKING FAR LESS MONEY THAN EVER
BEFORE. PLEASE STOP LISTENING
TO LOBBYING GROUPS, SPREADING
FALSE INFORMATION FOR SEVEN
MONTHS NOW. THEY ARE CLEARLY
SHOWING THAT PAYOUT IS GOING TO
BE WITH RESTAURANTS AND A
MAJORITY OF WORKERS. HOW MANY
PEOPLE HAVE TO BE HARMED? HOW
MANY RESTAURANTS HAVE TO BE
GOING OUT OF BUSINESS? PLEASE
DON'T LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE
THAT COME TO THIS ROOM.
>> THANK YOU, YOUR TIME IS UP.
>> THAT WAS LAST REGISTERED
SPEAKER.
>> WE HAVE REACHED THE END OF
THE LIST OF REGISTERED
SPEAKERS. THE PUBLIC PERIOD IS
NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COMMENTS TODAY. IF YOU ARE
ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT PUBLIC
COMMENTS FROM THE SINO CARD
AVAILABLE ON THE PODIUM, EMAIL
THE COUNCIL. COUNCIL AT
SEATTLE.GOV. IF THERE IS NO
OBJECTION, IT WILL BE ADOPTED.
HEARING NO OBJECTION, THE
CALENDAR IS ADOPTED. IF THERE
IS NO OBJECTION, THE AGENDA
WILL BE ADOPTED. HEARING NO
OBJECTION, THE AGENDA IS
ADOPTED. WE WILL NOW CONSIDER
THE PROPOSED CONSENT CALENDAR.
ITEMS ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR,
INCLUDE JULY 9th, 2024. COUNSEL
BILL 120814. PAYMENT OF BILLS.
ONE APPOINTMENT FROM THE PARKS.
PUBLIC UTILITIES AND TECHNOLOGY
COMMITTEE. ARE THERE ANY ITEMS
COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO
MOVE FROM TODAY'S CONSENT
CALENDAR? HEARING ON, I MOVED
TO ADOPT THE CALENDAR. IS THERE
A SECOND? IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND
SECOND TO ADOPT THE CONSENT
CALENDAR. WITH THE CLERK PLEASE
CALL THE ROLL ON THE CONSENT
CALENDAR?
>> [ ROLL BEING CALLED ].
>> COUNCILMEMBE KETTLE,
COUNCILMEMBE MOORE,
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES,
COUNCILMEMBE RIVERA,
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA,
COUNCILMEMBE STRAUSS , I'M
SORRY, COUNCILMEMBE STRAUSS?
COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON?
>> JUST A SECOND. SHE IS TRYING
TO LOG ON REALLY QUICK.
>> OKAY.
>> CAN YOU PLEASE REPLETE --
REPEAT THE PRESIDENT?
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON?
>> AYE.
>> A COUNCIL PRESIDENT?
>> NINE IN FAVOR, NONE OPPOSED.
>> WILL THE CLERK PLEASE AFFIX
THEM TO THE MINUTES. CAN THEY
LOOK AT THE CONSENT CALENDAR ON
MY BEHALF? WILL THE CLERK
PLEASE READ THE SHORT TITLE
INTO THE RECORD?
>> REPORT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE? STREET RACING ADDING
THE CRIME OF RACING, TRAFFIC
INFRACTION OF VEHICLE
PARTICIPATION. ADDING THE CIVIL
INFRACTION OF INTENDING AT AN
UNLAWFUL CIVIL EVENT.
>> COUNCILMEMBE KETTLE, AS
CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE, YOU ARE
PROVIDING REPORTS.
>> THANK YOU. BOTTOM LINE,
THANK YOU EVERYONE THAT HAS A
ATTENDED TODAY'S SUBJECT.
BOTTOM LINE, STREET RACING IS
PLAY IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS OUR
CITY. STREET RACING IS A DANGER
AND A THREAT TO PEDESTRIAN
SAFETY. TO HER PUBLIC SAFETY,
AND STREET RACING, TO BE CLEAR,
IS A THREAT TO THE HEALTH AND
QUALITY OF LIFE FROM OUR
NEIGHBORS. STREET RACING ALSO
POLLUTES OUR ENVIRONMENT, FROM
WHEN THE TIRE HITS THE ROAD,
PARTICLES FROM THE TIRES,
CARBON EMISSIONS, AND ALSO
NOISE POLLUTION. THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT OUR NEIGHBORS
ARE HEARING ALL THE TIME. THIS
IS POLLUTION. STREET RACING,
AND THE LACK OF ACTION,
CONTRIBUTES TO THE IDEA THAT IT
IS PERMITTED TO. THIS IN ITSELF
IS A PROBLEM. IT GOES TO THE
IDEA THAT IT UNDERLINES OUR
PUBLIC SAFETY CHALLENGES.
BOTTOM LINE, THIS IS AN
EMERGENCY RIGHT NOW. THAT'S
WHY THIS BILL IS TURNING INTO
AN EMERGENCY BILL. AS WE HAVE
SEEN, BUT ALSO IN OTHER AREAS
LIKE WEST SEATTLE. MR. GAGNE,
AS IT TURNS OUT, HAVE YOUR
EMAIL. I WAS GOING TO HIGHLIGHT
A FEW THINGS. FIRST, THE
NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP. I PRESUME
YOU ARE ALL PARTICIPATING IN.
IT IS PAST TIME TO REDO
SOMETHING TO REDUCE THE CRIME
OF RACING. RACING MOTORCYCLES,
AND GROUPS GATHERING AND
PARTICIPATING IN THIS BEHAVIOR,
IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL,
AND VERY DANGEROUS TO ALLOW
THESE ACTIVITIES TO CONTINUE ON
OUR PUBLIC STREETS. THIS VERY
DANGEROUS ACTIVITY NEEDS TO
STOP. WE NEED TO DO WHAT WE CAN
TO MAKE OUR STREETS SAFE AGAIN.
WE URGE YOU ALL TO TAKE
IMMEDIATE ACTION. I WOULD LIKE
TO THINK AS CHAMBER MEMBER OF
THE COMMITTEE, FOR HIS
AMENDMENTS TO OUR BILL. ALSO TO
COUNCILMEMBERS FOR COSPONSORING
THE BILL. SHE CAN SEE THIS AT
LARGE ACROSS THE CITY. I ASK MY
COLLEAGUES FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I
ALSO WANTED TO ADD BRIEFLY,
BECAUSE IT IS SOMEWHAT TIED
TOGETHER. THIS WAS RELATED TO
OVERDOSES. I ALSO WANT TO THANK
THIS CITY, FOR THAT REPORT.
OVERDOSES AND CRIME. IT IS
CLEARLY CHALLENGING FROM WHAT
WE SEE ON OUR STREETS. I WALKED
THIRD AVENUE ALL THE WAY UP
WITH CONCERNED RESIDENTS,
BUSINESS OWNERS, ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN OUR STREETS. WE
ALSO HAVE THE OTHER CHALLENGES
THAT WE ARE FACING. WE NEED TO
PRESS FORWARD ACROSS ALL
FRONTS, TO MAKE OUR STREETS
SAFER. THANK YOU TO THOSE THAT
HAVE SPOKEN. WE ARE ASKING FOR
YOUR SUPPORT IN STREET RACING.
>> THANK YOU. ANY COMMENTS ON
THE BILL? COUNCILMEMBER SAKA?
>> THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW.
CURRENTLY, MY CAMERA IS NOT
WORKING. AS I'M TALKING, I'M
NOTICING THAT MY VOICE SEEMS A
LITTLE BIT RASPY. HAPPY TO
REPORT THAT THEY WON. I WANT TO
THANK ALL OF MY CONSTITUENTS.
TO MY CITYWIDE COLLEAGUES, THEY
TOOK THE TIME TO SHOW UP. IN
PERSON, REMOTE, AND THE CHAIR.
IT IS VERY EMPOWERING. FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE, I ALSO ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS BILL. I
LOVE THE PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE. I APPRECIATE HOW
YOUR COMMENTS, YOU BASICALLY
HAVE CALLED OUT SPECIFIC QUOTES
FROM HARBOR AVENUE RESIDENTS.
LOVE THEIR VIEWS, AND LOVE HOW
THEY CAME UP IN THEIR OWN WORDS
TODAY. SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO
COMMUNITY MEMBERS. I LOVE THAT
QUOTE. MAKE IT NOT FUN FOR
THEM. ANYWAYS, I WOULD LIKE TO
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS
BILL. I DO WANT TO THANK THE
COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOR SHOWING
UP. PUBLIC SAFETY CHAIR, I
APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR STRONG
LEADERSHIP. TOGETHER, WITH THIS
COUNCILMEMBER, THANK YOU FOR
SHEPHERDING THIS LEGISLATION.
IT IS CRITICALLY NEEDED NOW
MORE THAN EVER. I ALSO WANT TO
THANK THE MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR
THEIR ISSUE AS WELL. TOO MANY
PEOPLE ARE DYING. WHAT IS GOING
ON IS PREVENTABLE, WITH RESPECT
TO PUBLIC COMMENT. I HEARD
ABOUT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
THIS IS LONG-STANDING, BY THE
WAY. ORDINANCE IN THE CITY, ALL
THE WAY DOWN FOR A LONG TIME.
IT IS NOT IN FACT CRIMINALIZED.
INSTEAD, IT IS OUR BILL. THIS
IS THE ENSUING INFRACTION. WE
ARE MINDFUL OF ALL OF THESE
CONCERNS. NOW IT IS TIME TO
ACT. I THINK THIS STRIKES THE
RIGHT BALANCE. THIS IS PART OF
THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, AND
THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE THAT WANT
THE COMMUNITY ACROSS THE CITY.
WHETHER IT IS IN THIS AVENUE,
OR MAGNOLIA, IT IS GOING ALL
AROUND. IN ANY EVENT,
COLLEAGUES, WE ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL.
>> THANK YOU. WE WILL GO TO
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA,
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, AND
COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON.
>> I JUST WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES, COUNCILMEMBE KETTLE
, COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, AND THE
REST OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD. THIS IS SOMETHING WE
HAVE HEARD ABOUT IN TERMS OF
SANDPOINT WAY. IT IS HAPPENING
IN VARIOUS AREAS OF THE CITY.
I'M VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO
SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION. WE
NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THIS. I THINK THAT IS ENOUGH
SAID ON THAT. WE APPRECIATE YOU
BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I WILL
BE SUPPORTING THIS. THANK YOU.
>> COUNCILMEMBER MORALES?
>> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER
PASSED IT. I VOTED IN FAVOR TO
ESTABLISH ADDITIONAL USES FOR
AUTOMATED TRAFFIC SAFETY
CAMERAS. DESIGNATED RESTRICTED
INCREASING ZONES. I SUPPORTED
IT. A SIMILAR DANGERS EXIST ON
MARTIN LUTHER KING. THAT BEING
SAID, THE SEATTLE MUNICIPAL
CODE MAKES RECKLESS DRIVING
UNDER CURRENT CITY LAW A
MISDEMEANOR. NOT HAVING THE
WORD RACE ESPECIALLY DEFINED IS
NOT NECESSARY FOR THE CITY TO
HOLD STRAIGHT RAZORS
ACCOUNTABLE ALREADY. 23, STATE
LEGISLATORS PASSED THE SENATE
BILL 5606 TO DETER ILLEGAL
RACING. THAT WENT INTO EFFECT
JANUARY 1st. CONVICTED UNDER
STATE LAW. UP TO 364 DAYS IN
JAIL. IT ALSO MAKES THOSE
KNOWINGLY AIDING AND EMBEDDING
TO BE PROSECUTED UNDER THE SAME
STATUTE. I DON'T BELIEVE WE
NEED MORE CRIMINALIZATION IN
THIS ACTIVITY. ALL OF THAT CAN
BE PROSECUTED. WHAT WE DO NEED,
ARE SAFE PLACES FOR YOUNG
ADULTS TO GO. WE NEED BETTER
LOADING -- LIGHTING ON OUR
STREETS. WE MAKE IT DIFFICULT
FOR THEM TO BE RIGHT ON THEM.
WE APPROVED A $1.5 BILLION
TRANSPORTATION LEVY PACKAGE, TO
BEGIN TO ADDRESS ALL OF THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS NEEDED.
THE SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
HAS EXISTING AUTHORITY TO
INVESTIGATE AND ENFORCE UNDER
STATE AND CRIMINAL LAW. THIS
LEGISLATION WILL NOT MAKE OUR
COMMUNITIES SAFER, BUT IT WILL
REQUIRE MORE ATTORNEY TIME
PROSECUTING THESE TIMES. THAT
IS NOT A GOOD USE OF OUR
RESOURCES. WE JUST PASSED
LICENSE PLATE LEGISLATION, AND
BY BETWEEN BELIEVE -- BETWEEN
THAT AND THE EXISTING LAWS, IS
ENOUGH TO ADDRESS WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THE CITY OF
SEATTLE. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS
IS THE BEST USE OF OUR POLICE
POWERS.
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON?
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FIRST
OF ALL, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, FOR
TAKING OVER FOR ME TODAY. I AM
TRAVELING. I APPRECIATE YOU
STEPPING UP. MY MESSAGE IS
FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU, PUBLIC
SAFETY CHAIR, COUNCILMEMBE
KETTLE. YOU EXTRADITED IT. I DO
APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO
THIS ISSUE. LAST YEAR, IF YOU
REMEMBER, THERE WAS A DEATH AT
THE STREET RAISING EVENT ON
CAPITOL HILL. WE ARE NOT JUST
TALKING ABOUT FUN AND GAMES
HERE. PEOPLE HAVE DIED. I WILL
TAKE THE ALL OF THE ABOVE
APPROACH. YES TO LIGHTS AND
MORE ACTIVITIES. YES FOR ALL
THE TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX TO
INTERRUPT DANGEROUS ACTIVITIES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL OF
YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, FOR
BRINGING OUT THE COMMUNITY. AT
SOME POINT, EARLY ON, IN MY
TENURE HERE. IT HAS BEEN MY
ONGOING MISSION. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, EVERYONE.
>> COUNCILMEMBE HOLLINGSWORTH?
>> DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? OKAY.
THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBE KETTLE,
FOR BRINGING THIS. THANK YOU,
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA. I'M GOING
TO BE BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL.
OFFICERS COULD NOT BREAK UP OR
ENFORCE UNFORTUNATELY THE
ACTIVITY THAT WAS GOING ON. I
LIVE ON 23rd. CARS ARE RACING
CONSTANTLY ON 23rd. SHOOTING
GUNS OFF CONSTANTLY. ANYWAYS,
I'M GOING TO BE SUPPORTING
THIS. I THINK THAT WHATEVER WE
CAN DO TO MAKE IT MORE SAFE FOR
OUR STREETS, FOR OUR KIDS, THAT
THIS ACTIVITY NEEDS TO STOP IN
SEATTLE. IT IS A DANGER TO
PEOPLE WHO LIVE CLOSELY TO
WHERE THE ACTIVITY IS
HAPPENING. ALSO, THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE PARTICIPATING. THESE
ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN
HIT FROM THE CARS DRIFTING.
ANYWAYS, I WANT TO THANK
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA AND
COUNCILMEMBE KETTLE FOR YOUR
AMENDMENTS. I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THIS.
>> COUNCILMEMBE STRAUSS --
COUNCILMEMBE KETTLE?
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER
WOO. I AM WORKING THIS FROM THE
QUEEN END. THE MAGNOLIA
INTERBAY. UPTOWN. OVER THE
YEARS, I AM DOING SO HERE IN
THE CITY. WE NEED TO PRESS
FORWARD ON ALL THE DIFFERENT
PIECES NOTED. THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT
WE CAN IMPROVE FROM THE TRAFFIC
CONDITIONS. THIS LEGISLATION IS
NEEDED. FROM EVERYTHING THAT I
HAVE MENTIONED, I WILL ALSO
ADD, THIS BILL IS ALSO ABOUT
ALIGNING THE SEATTLE MUNICIPAL
CODE. WE HAVE TO DO THIS RIGHT.
WE ARE DOING IT CLEANLY,
WORKING WITH THE CITY
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. FOUR MAIN
OPTIONS. WE HAVE TO DO THIS.
CITY ATTORNEY CANNOT DO THIS,
UNLESS IT IS WITHIN THE SEATTLE
MUNICIPAL CODE. THERE IS A
REASON WHY WE ARE WORKING WITH
THE CITY ATTORNEY ON THIS.
THERE IS A REASON WHY THIS IS
IMPORTANT. IT WAS DONE CLEANLY.
LEARNING THE LESSONS FROM LAST
YEAR, LOOKING AT THE PUBLIC
DRUG USE AND POSSESSION. WE ARE
PRESSING FORWARD ON THIS. I
ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN,
TO THAT POINT, WHAT
COUNCILMEMBERS ADDED TO IT.
$500 WAS ENOUGH TO DETER. THIS
IS WHY WE HAVE TWO OR THREE
PIECES TO IT. OTHERWISE, MORE
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOSE THEIR
LIVES. MORE PEOPLE WILL HAVE
BEEN IMPACTED, WHETHER IT IS
HAVING THE CAR SHOW UP,
WHATEVER IT MAY BE. WE HAVE TO
PASS THIS LAW. WE HAVE TO SYNC
UP. THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO
IT. THANK YOU.
>> I GREW UP GOING TO CAR
SHOWS. I GREW UP GOING TO
IMPORT SHOWS. WE HAVE RESPECT
FOR THE CULTURE. I THINK THIS
IS VERY SEPARATE FROM RACING.
AS A COMMUNITY MEMBER, WE WOULD
ATTEND THESE SHOWS. ONCE THE
CARS START MOVING, WE LEAVE. WE
CAN HIT AS THESE EVENTS ARE
HAPPENING. WE USUALLY LIKE TO
SHOW UP AT MOST EVENTS, TO LET
PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.
WE KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THEY CAN
BE. WE OFTEN FORGET THAT A CAR,
CAN ALSO BE FATAL. WE LISTEN
CLOSELY TO THE BELLTOWN. THE
CALL FOR SAFE STREETS IS LOUD
AND CLEAR. STREET RACING IS A
PERILOUS ACTIVITY. CLAIMING THE
LIVES OF PASSENGERS,
BYSTANDERS, EVERY YEAR. SOME OF
THEM SEE THIS AS EXCITING
ACTIVITY. THIS IS BOTH A DANGER
TO PARTICIPANTS AND THE GENERAL
PUBLIC. THIS IS FROM THE PUBLIC
HEALTH RISK. WE ARE NOT JUST
TALKING ABOUT RACING. WE ARE
SEEING THE INCREASE IN
DRAFTING. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU
SPEND TIRES, REALLY QUICKLY
WITHOUT MOVING, THEY ARE
IMPRESSIVE, BUT THEY HOLD THE
POTENTIAL TO BECOME CREDIBLY
DANGEROUS. WE CANNOT RUN NOT
USE CITY LAND REPUBLIC
ROADWAYS. THEY ARE FACILITATING
THESE ACTIVITIES, DUE TO THE
MASSIVE LIABILITY THAT THEY
PRESENT. THEY ARE SAFELY
SANCTIONED IN THIS AREA THAT
WILL NOT ALLOW FOR THESE TRICKS
AT THESE RACETRACKS. THEY
HANDLE THE RISKS INVOLVED. THEY
CAN SAFELY ENJOY THEIR PASSION.
LOOKING AT THESE HIGH-RISK
MANEUVERS TO THESE
PROFESSIONALS IN A CONTROLLED
ENVIRONMENT. WORK TO ENSURE
THAT OUR STREETS REMAINS A FOR
EVERYONE. COUNCILMEMBE KETTLE,
IF THERE IS NO OTHER COMMENT, I
WILL LET YOU HAVE THE LAST
WORD.
>> I THINK I WON'T HAVE THE
LAST WORD. THANK YOU.
>> GREAT.
