JUSTIFIED AND WAS CRIMINAL. THE
INQUEST WAS THE SECOND IN
HISTORY WITH MORE THAN A SINGLE
JUROR SOUGHT I COULD CRIMINAL IN
A DEATH. AND THE ONLY INQUEST
INVOLVING AN SPD OFFICER OR ANY
JUROR COUNT --. BASED ON THE
JURORS COMMENTS, FIVE OF
POSSIBLY SIX JURORS FOUND EITHER
OFFICER KELLER, THE SPD POLICIES
AND OR ALL OF THE OFFICERS
ACTIONS CAUSED THE NECESSARY
KILLING OF --. HAD A MUCH
CELEBRATED POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM AND FOUND THE KILLING WAS
IN FACT QUOTE, LAWFUL AND
PROPER, JUST AS SPD KILLED DENNY
RODRIGUEZ, DERRICK HAYDEN . ONE
KILLED BY THE SPD COME ALL OF
THESE PEOPLE WERE HOLDING THE
WEB AND AND WERE EXPERIENCING A
SEVERE HEALTH CRISIS WHILE
HOLDING A KNIFE. TODAY YOU WILL
REAPPOINT FOUR PEOPLE TO THE
COMMUNITY POLICE COMMISSION .
THE CPC STANDS OUT AMONG OVER 80
CITY COMMISSIONS BEING ONE OF
THE VERY FEW THAT PROHIBITS
PUBLIC COMMENT , ESPECIALLY
IRONIC GIVEN THEY CLAIM TO
REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY. WE
DISCOVERED, AND ALSO DISCOVERED
-- WE DISCOVERED FROM KING

CAPABLE OF REPRESENTING FACTS

THAN THE CPC HAS BEEN, CALLING

IT'S FOR FREEDOM, WHY? BECAUSE
I AM A FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM FOR
A FEW THOUSAND YEARS. IS VERY
IMPORTANT. ON EVERYBODY HAS A
VOICE, HAVE RIGHT FOR SPEAK
COMING UP EVERYBODY WANT TO KILL
ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE SOMETIMES
IT'S MORE DANGEROUS THAN
DYNAMITE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT. I DON'T SEE
THIS FROM SARA NELSON . YOU

I WANT TO REMIND OUR REMOTE
SPEAKERS TO PRESS STAR SIX AFTER
YOU HAVE HEARD THE MESSAGE THAT
YOU HAVE BEEN UNMUTED. GO AHEAD,
DAVID.
>> THANK YOU, DAVID HAYNES. A
FEDERAL INJUNCTION ON THE
AUTHORITIES AND DEMAND THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP TAKE THE TARIFFS
THAT HE'S GOING TO BE APPLYING
AND REIMBURSE THE PROPERTY TAXES
FOR KING COUNTY TO -- THAT KEEP
GETTING SQUANDERED. WHILE THEY
ARE SUBSIDIZING OFFSHORE
STRUCTURES . THEY ORDERED ON THE
INTEGRITY OF THE INSPECTION THAT
BRING CONTRABAND AND DRUGS THAT
ACT LIKE AN OPEN BORDER HERE IN
SEATTLE. ANYWAY, I WANTED TO
ADDRESS SOME THE THAT ARE HEARD
FROM CITY COUNCIL YESTERDAY.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE
IGNORANT IDEA THAT EEI IS A
PRIORITY WHEN IF YOU TAKE A LOOK
AT THE ACCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE
IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WHERE THE
PLANE AND HELICOPTER CRASHED ,
THERE WAS ONE PERSON DOING TO
PEOPLE'S JOBS BECAUSE THE FAA
IS SHORT-STAFFED . THOSE
LAWSUITS ABOUT THESE WHITE
APPLICANTS WHO ARE QUALIFIED WHO
WERE DENIED BECAUSE OF DEI AND
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FOR
INTERNATIONAL THAT WAS A
PURPOSEFUL DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST MERITOCRACY, /QUALIFIED
INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF SKIN
COLOR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT
PEOPLE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE
PROBLEMS OF PUBLIC SAFETY THAT
HAVE BEEN EXACERBATED BY THE
BUTTON PUSHING BOTTOM OF THE
BARREL POLICIES THAT PUT IN
CHARGE AND TURN AGAINST THE
COMMUNITY WITH POWER MONGERING
HYPOCRITES WHO WANT TO UNDERMINE
THE INTEGRITY OF SOLVING THE
HOMELESS HOUSING AND PUBLIC
SAFETY CRISIS AND HAVE A GREAT
AMERICAN HOUSING BILL THAT WAS A
BUNCH OF RACIST HYPOCRITES
DUMPING THEIR TRAUMA ON
EVERYBODY ELSE INSTEAD OF
TREATING PEOPLE LIKE YOU WOULD
WANT TO BE TREATED, THEY ARE
TREATING PEOPLE LIKE THEY HAVE
BEEN TREATED AND THEY WERE
EDUCATED BY HATEFUL PERSON WHO
IMPLEMENTED SOME PATHETIC RACIST
--.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS ALBERTO
ALVAREZ AND FOLLOWING MR.
ALVAREZ WILL BE JIM WILLIAMS IF
HE SIGNS IN BEFORE MR. ALVAREZ
FINISHES. GO AHEAD, MR. ALVAREZ.
>> KEEP DENSITY FAIR, THE CONSUL
IS DESIGNED TO ADD DENSITY TO A
VIBRANT CITY IN AN EVER-GROWING
STATE. SUPPLIES THE COMP PLAN ,
SUPPLY TO MAKE DEMAND IS THAT
BASIC PRINCIPLE OF ANY MARKET.
DISTRICT TWO HAS SEVERED THE
MOST FROM DIVESTMENT BY THE CITY
CANNOT BEAR THE BRUNT OF
INCREASING HOUSING FOR THE
ENTIRE CITY. MADRONA, GREEN
LAKE, AND EVEN MAPLE LEAF MUST
PROVIDE A FAIR SHARE TO COMBAT
THE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
CRISIS. SHELTER FOR THE POOR AND
THOSE WITH SUBSTANCE RECOVERY,
RENTALS FOR THE BRISTOW, THE
GROCER AND THE LOCAL LINE COOK ,
HOMES FOR THE YOUNG FAMILIES SO
THEY DON'T DRIVE 1 TO 2 HOURS
AND RETURN TO OFFICE GRIDLOCK.
KEEP DENSITY FAIR AND DO NOT LET
THE WEALTHIEST COMMUNITIES
CONTROL THE NEEDS OF THE WORKING
PEOPLE . THANK YOU AND HAVE A
GOOD DAY.
>> THAT WAS OUR LAST REMOTE
SPEAKER THAT IS PRESENT FOR
GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT.

GRADING A NEW SALES AND USE TAX
DEFERRAL FOR THE CONVERSION OF
UNDERUTILIZED COMMERCIAL
PROPERTY TO HOUSING AND ADDING A
NEW CHAPTER 5.75 TO THE SEATTLE
MUNICIPAL CODE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AS THE
CURRENT SPONSOR OF THIS ITEM, I
WILL ADDRESS IT AND TURN IT OVER
TO COUNCILMEMBER SOLOMON AS
CHAIR OF THE LAND-USE COMMITTEE.
I WILL DETAIL THE REASONS FOR
THAT IN A MOMENT BUT FIRST I
WANT TO PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT .
THIS BILL IS BEFORE US TODAY
GIVEN SOME UNUSUAL
CIRCUMSTANCES. AS YOU MAY RECALL
THE DAY BEFORE WE WRAPPED UP
BUDGET LAST YEAR THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE TRANSMITTED RESOLUTION
32156 DECLARING THE CITY'S
INTENTION TO ESTABLISH A NEW
SALES AND USE TAX DEFERRAL FOR

TO DO THAT. THE RESOLUTIONS TEXT
SET UP PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS
BILL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN
JANUARY BEFORE THE LAND-USE
COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE IN
DECEMBER UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED
THE RESOLUTION ON DECEMBER 4th.
BY THE TIME THE RESOLUTION CAME
BEFORE COUNCIL IN DECEMBER 17th
FOR A FINAL VOTE, LAND-USE CHAIR
COUNCILMEMBER MOORE ALICE HAD
ANNOUNCED HER INTENTION TO
RESIGN GRADING A VACANCY
AFFECTING THE COMMITTEE'S
ABILITY TO TAKE ACTION UNTIL THE
VACANCY WAS FILLED. AS WE
DIDN'T HAVE A LAND-USE CHAIR
THROUGH MOST OF JANUARY AND IN
ORDER TO KEEP ACTION ON THIS
IMPORTANT BILL FROM STALLING, WE
DECIDED TO MOVE THE PUBLIC
HEARING FROM LAND-USE COMMITTEE
TO FULL COUNCIL AND
COUNCILMEMBERS AMENDED THE
RESOLUTION TO HOLD THE HEARING
IN COUNCIL TODAY AND PASSED
UNANIMOUSLY. THE RESOLUTIONS HAD
PUBLIC HEARING FOR PUBLIC
COMMENT OF THE PUBLIC TO COMMENT
ON THE BILL THAT WOULD ACTUALLY
ESTABLISH A NEW SALES AND USE
TAX DEFERRAL. 120937 IN ORDER TO
HAVE A LIVE BILL FOR THE PUBLIC
TO COMMENT ON AND TO KEEP THINGS
MOVING, WE INTRODUCE COUNCIL
BILL 120937 AND REFERRED
DIRECTLY TO COUNCIL WITH MY
SPONSORSHIP. NOW THAT WE HAVE A
LAND-USE CHAIR, COUNCILMEMBER
SOLOMON WHO HAS AGREED TO TAKE
UP SPONSORSHIP AND MOVE THE BILL
FORWARD AM I SO THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. AFTER WE HOLD TODAY'S
PUBLIC HEARING WE WILL ADD HIS
NAME AS A SPONSOR WITH MYSELF AS
COSPONSOR. AS THIS BILL FROM THE
MAYOR ALLOWS US TO IMPLEMENT A
CHANGE IN STATE POLICY THAT IS
THE RESULT OF THE LEGISLATURE'S
PASSAGE LAST YEAR OF ENROLLED
SECOND SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL
6175 WHICH WAS SPONSORED BY
SENATOR JAZMIN TRUDEAU AND
PASSED BY BOTH CHAMBERS ALMOST
UNANIMOUSLY, I AGREED TO
COUNCILMEMBER SOLOMON'S REQUEST
TO BRING THE BILL BEFORE FULL
COUNCIL FOR A VOTE NEXT WEEK
WITH THE CAVEAT THAT IT COULD BE
DELAYED OR IF NEEDED TO ADDRESS
ANY OBJECTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT
MAY BE RAISED DURING TODAY'S
PUBLIC HEARING. THAT'S THE
BACKGROUND OF THIS BILL AND ITS
PUBLIC HEARING. I WILL TURN
THINGS OVER TO COUNCILMEMBER
SOLOMON TO SPEAK TO THE BILL.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH COUNCIL

OF COUNCIL BILL 120937 IT WAS
INTRODUCED LAST WEEK AND
REFERRED TO THE COUNCIL FOR

IMPLEMENT A PROGRAM IN SEATTLE
THAT WOULD DIFFER SALES TAX AND
USE TAX FOR PROJECTS BEING --
WITHIN A 40 BILL HOUSING
COMPONENT . COUNCIL MEMBERS

AND DECEMBER 2024 WHICH SIGNALS
THE CITY'S INTENT TO ADOPT A

SECOND.
>> MY NECK IS -- MY NAME IS
MARK. I'M A MANAGING NUMBER OF
STREAM REAL ESTATE. A SMALL
LOCAL REALISTIC DEPARTMENT BASED
IN SEATTLE. COMMENTING IN
SUPPORT OF COUNCIL BILL 120937
CONCERNING OFFICE RESIDENTIAL
CONVERSION FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AS MANY ARE AWARE, WE
ARE PROPOSING TO CONVERT AN
OFFICE BUILDING TO MUCH-NEEDED
RESIDENTIAL UNITS. THE BILL
PROPOSED UNDER COUNCIL BILL
120937 WILL BE THE TRIGGER TO
MAKE OUR PROJECT AND MANY OTHERS
FEASIBLE SO THAT WE CAN MOVE
FORWARD FROM DISCUSSIONS OF
CONVERTING UNUTILIZED SPACES TO
ACTUALLY BUILDING THEM. IN OUR
CASE WE WILL BE USING BOTH MFT
PROGRAM AND THIS PROGRAM TO MAKE
ALMOST ONE THIRD OF OUR PROJECT
AFFORDABLE UNITS THIS IS A GREAT
BENEFIT TO THE CITY AND
COMMUNITY. I WOULD LIKE TO
EMPHASIZE THE NEED TO MOVE THE
BILL QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WITH NO
FURTHER DELAYS IN VOTING NEXT
WEEK. AS WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE
PERMITTING PROCESS AND
ANTICIPATION OF PASSING OF THIS
BILL PASSING AND WE WILL BE
READY TO START CONSTRUCTION VERY
SOON . WE CANNOT START UNTIL
THIS BILL PASSES AND WE ARE
CONFIRMED AS APPROVED WITH BOTH
THE CITY AND STATE. EVERY DELAY
PUTS MANY PROJECTS AT RISK OF
NOT OCCURRING. I'D BE HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON , MY NAME IS
BILL AND I WORK AT URBAN
RENAISSANCE GROUP. I COME BEFORE
YOU TODAY TO VOICE MY SUPPORT
FOR THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE
COUNCIL BILL 120-9372 ADOPT THE
PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL CONVERSION
HEALTH TAX INCENTIVE. URBAN
RENAISSANCE IS AN OWNER MANAGER
AND DEVELOPER FOR 10 MILLION
SQUARE FEET IN THE SEATTLE AREA.
MANY ASSETS IN THE SEATTLE CBD
INCLUDING THE BUILDING THE
JOSHUA GREENE AT THE CORNER OF
FOURTH AND PIKE. TODAY YOU ARE
ESTIMATING VALUE AS AN OFFICE
BUILDING IS DOWN 75 TO 85% FROM
PEAK PRICING. THERE IS VERY
LITTLE DEMAND FOR OFFICES WITHIN
THE BUILDING WITH MANY OF THOSE
OFFICE SUITES STAYING VACANT FOR
YOUR SPIRIT SINCE THE PANDEMIC,
CONVERSION TO MULTIFAMILY HAS
BEEN TOO COSTLY TO COMPLICATE
OTHER ASSETS. COUNCIL BILL
120937 WILL IMPROVE THE
FEASIBILITY OF TURNING THE 120
ROLLED JOSHUA GREEN BUILDING AND
OTHERS INTO BADLY NEEDED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IT COULD
BRING AS MANY AS 100 UNITS TO AN
IMPORTANT CORNER IN THE CBD AND
HELP ACTIVATE THE AREA AROUND
THE BUILDING WITH NEW RESIDENCE
AND RETAIL. WE ARE NOW FIVE
YEARS AS THE START OF THE COVID
PANDEMIC. IT'S TIME TO ACT AND
INCENTIVIZE ADDITIONAL
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THERE HAVE
BEEN MULTIPLE BRIEFINGS ON THIS
TOPIC OF CONVERSIONS AND I WOULD
ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO PASS
THIS BILL AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE. CAPITAL IS BEING
ACTIVELY RAISED TO LOOK AT
CONVERSION OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS
THE UNITED STATES . THIS BILL
WILL HELP MAKE CONVERSIONS IN
SEATTLE A MORE COMPELLING
OPPORTUNITY, GREAT --. CREATE
MORE CONSTRUCTION JOBS AND MORE
LONG-TERM HOUSING OPTIONS. IF
YOU DELAY , THAT CAPITAL COULD
GO ELSEWHERE. FOR LITTLE TO NO
COST, COUNCIL COULD ADOPT THIS
BILL WHICH WILL BUILD UPON THE
RECENT SUCCESSES YOU WITNESSED
DOWNTOWN THANKS TO YOUR
LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS RAY
. WE ARE THE OWNER OF SEVERAL
MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS BUT WE
HAVE FOUR LEVELS OF OFFICE SPACE
THAT HAVE SET IDLE FOR FIVE
YEARS. WE DON'T ANTICIPATE
LOSING THAT SPACE FOR ANOTHER
FIVE YEARS BACK WITH THIS BILL ,
WHICH WE SUPPORT, WE ANTICIPATE
HAVING RESIDENCE MOVED IN BY THE
END OF THE YEAR. IF IT'S NEXT
WEEK, YES , LATER ON, MAYBE NOT.
I THINK THIS IS A BOLD STEP AND
I APPLAUD YOU. THANK YOU.
>> ALEX IS THE LAST IN PERSON
SPEAKER.
>> MY NAME IS ALEX TSIMERMAN. I
LOVE YOU GUYS, ALL OF YOU.
TYPICAL TAXES , TAXES IS GOOD.
FOR BILL GATES. FOR 10 YEARS
I'M TALKING ABOUT TEXAS AND IT
TOOK ABOUT TEXAS FOR THE FIRST
$100 BECAUSE PEOPLE --. 10 YEARS
I TALK ABOUT THIS . YOU WANT FOR
PEOPLE TO PAY MORE TAXES FOR
POOR HOUSING , FOR WHERE PEOPLE
HOUSING. CAN YOU DO SOMETHING
FOR POOR PEOPLE? A LITTLE BIT
MORE? YOU WANT TEXAS, NO
PROBLEM. BUT NO TEXAS FOR FIRST
$100 AND EXACTLY FOR POOR PEOPLE
WHOSE INCOME IS VERY LOW, CLOSE
TO $1000 . THEY DON'T HAVE A
PENNY FOR PAYING FOR FOOD OR
GAS. YOU WANT MORE TAXES FOR
POOR PEOPLE? WHO PAYS THESE
TAXES? YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW
STUPID YOU ARE? THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT'S HAPPENING. I SPEAK WITH
YOU RIGHT NOW LIKE I SPEAK
BEFORE A DOZEN TIMES. STOP TAXES
FOR FIRST $100. GIVE POOR PEOPLE
A LITTLE BIT AIR FOR BREATHING.
THEY ARE MILLIONAIRES . WHY
DON'T -- . HE CAN PAY TAXES FOR
--. STANDUP, AMERICA. I SUPPORT
DONALD TRUMP WHO WANTS TO CLEAR
THIS DIRTY GOVERNMENT TOTALLY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> WE ARE MOVING TO REMOTE
SPEAKERS.
>> OUR FIRST REMOTE SPEAKER IS
DAVID HAYNES FOLLOWED BY CARLIN.
PLEASE PRESS START SIX ONCE YOU
HAVE HEARD THE MESSAGE THAT YOU
HAVE BEEN UNMUTED. GO AHEAD,
DAVID.
>> DAVID HAYNES. WE NEED A LAW
THAT TREATS THE JUSTIFICATION
FOR GIVING SALES TAX REPRIEVE TO
REQUEST THAT THE DEVELOPERS
BRING TWO FULL SHIFTS TO
EXPEDITE THE PROJECTS SO THEY
CAN START WORK RIGHT AWAY. IF WE
ARE GETTING A SALES TAX
REPRIEVE, IF YOU HAD WORKERS ON
THE JOB EXPEDITING THIS PROJECT,
BEING PAID PROPER , THAT'S
STILL PART OF THE TAX BASE. IF
THEY ARE GOING TO -- PERCEPTION
OF VALUE THAT THEY [ INAUDIBLE ]
ILL-SUITED NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS
STILL UNSAFE BECAUSE COUNCIL
STILL DRUG PUSHERS ALONG WITH
THE MAYOR. I THINK THE VACANT
LOTS THAT THE TAX DOLLARS HAVE
ALREADY FINANCED , THOSE PIECES
OF LAND NEED TO BE TURNED OVER
TO FOR-PROFIT DEVELOPERS TO GO
AS HIGH AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO
CREATE AS MANY EMERGENCY HOUSING
OPTIONS , NOT NECESSARILY
EMERGENCY BUT SOME SERVICE
PROVIDING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
THAT WOULD BE ROBUST BECAUSE
RELYING ONLY ON OLDER BUILDINGS
THAT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
OWNS [ INAUDIBLE ] TO FORCE THE
MARKET TO REINVEST IN THE
PERCEIVED VALUES WHERE THEY ARE
BRAGGING HOW MUCH MORE THEY CAN
MAKE SOME OLD OUTDATED
DILAPIDATED FLOOR PLAN FROM 100
YEARS AGO THAT SOMEHOW IS ICONIC
LEAD TRAY SHE CANNOT AND
HISTORICALLY PRESERVED AND
FORCING PEOPLE TO LIVE IN A
MODERN THIRD WORLD SLUMP. HIGHLY
MOTIVATED WITH THE RIGHT
FINANCING, YOU COULD MAKE
SOMETHING PRETTY DECENT , BUT
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THESE BUILDINGS
TURNED OVER FOR SHELTER BECAUSE
YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO
BUILD THE CAPACITY OF HOUSING
FOR SHELTER AND HOMELESS.
>> OUR LAST REMOTE SPEAKER ON
THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CARLIN .
GO AHEAD.
>> MY NAME IS CARLIN I'M A
SEATTLE RESIDENT AND WORK FOR A
COMPANY CALLED STELLAR HOLDINGS
WHICH IS DEVELOPED OFFICE AND
MULTI FAMILY IN SEATTLE FOR A
FEW DECADES. I JUST WANTED TO
HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE RISKS WITH
OFFICE RESIDENTIAL CONVERSIONS.
THEY ARE HIGHER RISK THAN GROUND
UP MULTI FAMILY AND I HAVE
WORKED FOR UNICO BEFORE THIS AND
THE PROJECT INTO, THAT WAS
REDEVELOPED , IT WAS NOT IN THE
FLOOR PLANS BUT THERE WAS AN
INTERIOR STAIRCASE THAT WAS
DISCOVERED DURING CONSTRUCTION .
THE PROJECT HAD TO STOP
STRUCTURAL REINFORCED TO HAVE
THAT REPURPOSED AS A FLOOR AREA
BEFORE A SELLER I MOVED HERE
FROM PHILADELPHIA AND THEY HAD
THEN ABOUT SIX TO EIGHT OF THESE
CLASS B OFFICE CONVERSIONS THAT
HAS REVITALIZED CENTER CITY
PHILADELPHIA. I WOULD ENCOURAGE
YOU TO LOOK AT THOSE AS
EXAMPLES. THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL
OFFICE BUILDINGS THAT ARE
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT
THE AVAILABLE STOCK IS AND THEY
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO MOVE AND
REPURPOSE CENTER CITY. I'M
HOPING THAT SEATTLE CAN BE A
TREND AND THIS IS HUGELY
IMPACTFUL FOR LOOKING AT
CONVERTING SOME OF THESE OLDER
OFFICE BUILDINGS . ALSO AT
FOURTH AND PIKE, WE HAVE AN
OFFICE BUILDING HERE THAT IS
SEVERELY STRUGGLING AND I WANT
TO UNDERSCORE HOW IMPACTFUL THIS
WILL BE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME.

YOU PLEASE AFFIX MY SIGNATURE TO
THE MINUTES AND LEGISLATION ON
THE CONSENT CALENDAR ON MY
BEHALF? COMMITTEE REPORTS, THE
FIRST ITEM ON TODAY'S AGENDA IS
COUNCIL BILL 120927 RELATING TO
FLOOD INSURANCE AND NORMALLY THE
LAND-USE CHAIR WOULD SPEAK TO
THIS BILL HOWEVER AS OUR NEW
LAND-USE CHAIR JUST GOT STARTED
LAST WEEK AND IS GETTING UP TO
SPEED AND AS THE BILL MAKES AN
EXTENSION TO INTERIM REGULATIONS
THAT WE EXTENDED A NUMBER OF
TIMES OUR LAND-USE VICE CHAIR
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS HAS SPOKEN

PREVIOUSLY AND SO I ASKED HIM TO
STEP IN AND SPEAK TODAY. HE HAS
GENEROUSLY AGREED TO DO SO. WILL
THE CLERK PLEASE READ ITEM ONE

WORKED WITH THE PORT. THAT WAS
COMPLETE AND THEN IN AUGUST OF
2024, SDC I ISSUED A NEW
DECISION UPDATED PERMANENT
FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS. THE DECISION WAS
NOT APPEALED , HOWEVER THE
REASON FOR EXTENSION IS THAT
AFTER THE DECISION BUSINESS
OWNERS ALONG THE WATERFRONT CAME
FORWARD WITH ADDITIONAL CONCERNS
, SDC I AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE
ARE WORKING TO RESOLVE THESE
ISSUES AND MOVE FORWARD WITH
PROPOSED PERMANENT REGULATIONS
WITH CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THIS

13 MONTHS AND I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THE RESOLUTION. I

TYPE OF ACTION TAKE PLACE SINCE
COMING TO CITY HALL. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR THOSE COMMENTS.
IT IS ALSO IRREGULAR FOR -- TO
HAVE A VACANCY BUT WE HAVE
ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THAT. LET
ME TELL YOU WHY I AM DOING THIS.
WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH
COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS IN
PREPARATION FOR THE PRESIDENCY
AND THIS TERM, I GAVE PREFERENCE
TO THE SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE
CITY COUNCIL, YOU AND
COUNCILMEMBER MORE ALICE --
MORALES . YOU CHOSE FINANCE AND
THEY CHOSE LAND-USE. YOU ALSO
WANTED TO BE ON THE SOUND
TRANSIT BOARD AND WHEN -- EVEN
THOUGH COUNCILMEMBER SAKA WAS
TRANSPORTATION CHAIR , THAT WENT
FORWARD. HE VERY MUCH --
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA WANTED TO BE
-- FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO REMIND
FOLKS THERE WERE FOUR PEOPLE WHO
WANTED TO BE PUBLIC SAFETY
CHAIR. COUNCILMEMBER SAKA WAS
ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. HE ENDED UP
CHAIRING TRANSPORTATION AND IT
WOULD HAVE MADE SENSE FOR HIM TO
-- . IT WOULD HAVE MADE SENSE --
I'M GETTING TO MY POINT ABOUT
WHAT IT IS SO REGULAR. AND SO,
YOU GOT FINANCE AND SOUND
TRANSIT. HE WANTED TO -- I FELT
THAT IT WAS CORRECT WHEN IT WAS
ANNOUNCED THAT COUNCILMEMBER
MORALES WOULD BE LEAVING AND
THERE WOULD BE A SPOT LEFT ,
THERE WOULD BE AN OPEN SPOT ON
THE LAND USE COMMITTEE AND HE
ASKED FOR AND I THOUGHT IT WAS
THE RIGHT THING TO DO. NOT ONLY
BECAUSE HE ASKED LAST YEAR AND
HAD NOT GOTTEN ANY OF HIS FIRST
CHOICES, ALSO BECAUSE I
PRIVILEGED YOU AND COUNCILMEMBER

BE TALKING ABOUT THE THINGS WE
DO DIFFERENTLY LAST YEAR THE
THINGS WE ARE LOOKING TO DO THIS

HAD A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEBODY
LAST YEAR ABOUT HOW MANY THINGS
HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT THAT I HAD
NOT EVER SEEN BEFORE AND THEY
DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THINGS HAVE
CHANGED. I'M JUST NOTING FOR
