WITH YOU. I KNOW NORMALLY THIS
IS A TIMEFRAME WHERE YOU HEAR
GRIEVANCES AND COMPLAINTS, AND
THINGS OF THAT NATURE, BUT I
COME WITH A DIFFERENT ENERGY. MY
NAME IS TIM PRICE AND I
REPRESENTED A WORLDWIDE COMPANY.
WE PROVIDE TWO WAY RADIOS FOR
ENTITIES WORLDWIDE, FOR SECURE
RADIO COMMUNICATION, AND WE HAVE
A VERY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY WHERE
WE ARE SEEKING A PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE CITY OF SEATTLE, WHERE
WE ABSORB THE COST TO PROVIDE
RADIOS FOR YOU, FOR EVENTS,
ANYTHING RELATIVE TO TECHNOLOGY,
PARKS, WHAT MIND YOU, AND
HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE AN
OPPORTUNITY THAT WOULD SAVE
MONEY FROM BUDGET, AND ALSO IT
PROVIDES A MEANS FOR US TO
UNDERSTAND OUR PRODUCTS, TO KNOW
HOW TO MARKET IT WORLDWIDE. I
WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS
PLATFORM TO EXTEND THIS OFFER TO
THE CITY, LEAVE MY BUSINESS CARD
WITH THOSE WHO ARE APPROPRIATE,
SO THAT WAY WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT

IT CAN BE A BENEFICIAL, MUTUAL

DON'T WANT TO SAY ALOUD TO, BUT
IT'S NOT WITHIN OUR PURVIEW TO
DIRECT DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS WHO
TO PARTNER WITH. BUT YOU ARE
MORE THAN WELCOME TO LEAVE YOUR
PUBLIC COMMENT IN THE BOX, AND
YOUR CARD, AND MY SUGGESTION
WOULD BE TO GO ONLINE DURING THE
PORTAL FOR DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS
TO FIND ALL THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.
>> PERFECT. ONE THING, I DON'T
WANT TO TRANSGRESS THE PURPOSE
OF THIS, IF NOT REALLY FOR
PROMOTION, IT'S LITERALLY JUST
TO GET THINGS ENHANCED FREE TO

ABLE TO HELP IN LEAVE MY
INFORMATION.
>> PLEASE DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NEXT UP I'M ASSUMING IS MR.
ALEX ZIMMERMAN. WELCOME.
>> THANK YOU.
>> MY NAME ALEX ZIMMERMAN TRUMP
MAGA. 6000 DAY OF TRESPASS AND
FIVE TIMES YOU PROCEDURE ME. NO
KNOWLEDGE IN THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON. MAY BE IN HUMAN
HISTORY. MA'AM, I VERY RESPECT
YOU. I THINK OF YOU LIKE A
WOMAN, LIKE A BLACK, HAVE TOO
MANY PRIVILEGE, AND I THINK
THESE PEOPLE CUT YOUR PRIVILEGE
100%, MAYBE 59, MAYBE 60,
DEPENDING I'M NOT SURE. AND I
SPOKE ABOUT THIS FOR MANY YEAR.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE MEETING 2:00
DIFFERENT FROM COUNCIL WHO HAVE
MEETING AT 9:30, AND I TALKED TO
YOUR STAFF A COUPLE TIMES, YOU
ROTATE IT PROBABLY EVERY TWO
MONTHS, GIVE EQUAL TO EVERYBODY.
BECAUSE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW IN
SEATTLE, IN AROUND HERE RIGHT
NOW, NEVILLE RIGHT NOW, TRAFFIC
9:30 ABSOLUTELY STUPID . IT'S A
NIGHTMARE. I LIVED THERE FOR A
YEAR. I NEVER SEE IT LIKE THIS
BEFORE. SOME PEOPLE MAYBE
WEREN'T TALKING TO YOU,
WEREN'T TALKING FROM UPSTAIRS,
IT'S OKAY, TOO. BUT YOU POSTED
THE CHANGES. THIS MAKE EVERYBODY
EQUAL BECAUSE RIGHT NOW ONE 9:30
FOR 40 YEARS, 2:00 FOR ANOTHER
FOUR YEARS. SO PEOPLE WHO HAVE
NEVILLE FOR EXAMPLE AT 2:00 LOSE
THEIR PRIVILEGE. AND I TALKED TO
YOU BEFORE, FOR MANY YEARS I
TALKED, SORRY FOR I SPEAK NOT
EXACTLY ABOUT AGENDA BUT I THINK
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
IT'S PRIVILEGE FOR PEOPLE WHO
SPEAK ONLY ONE LEVEL, THESE
PEOPLE SPEAK AT ANOTHER LEVEL.
STAND UP, AMERICA, FOR DONALD
TRUMP. MAKE EVERYBODY
COMMONSENSE. THAT'S THE KEY
WHAT IS RIGHT NOW, COMMON SENSE.
[ INAUDIBLE ]
>> THANK YOU. YOU THINK ME AS A
BLACK WOMAN IS PRIVILEGED. THANK
YOU. IT'S A GIFT. I'M BLESSED
. IF I WOULD COME BACK AS A
PERSON IT WOULD BE A BLACK
WOMAN, HONESTLY. ALL RIGHT. NEXT
PERSON ONLINE.
>> I WILL NOW MOVE TO THE REMOTE
PUBLIC COMMENT. ONCE I CALL THE
SPEAKER'S NAME TREES PRESS STAR
SIX TO BEGIN. DAVID.
>> PRESS STAR SIX, MR. HAYNES,
AND YOU'RE READY TO GIVE YOUR
PUBLIC COMMENT.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. DAVID
HAYNES. YOU KNOW HOW COUNCIL HAS
OVERSIGHT ON THE DUWAMISH
CLEANUP? IT WOULD BE GREAT IF
COUNCIL MADE A RULE OR A LAW
WITHIN THE PUBLIC/ PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIP OF THAT CLEANUP
WHERE IT REQUIRED THE CONTRACTOR
TO BRING TWO FULL SHIFTS ONTO
THE JOBSITE, TO EXPEDITE GETTING
THE JOB DONE, AND TO MAKE SURE
THAT ONE INDIVIDUAL OPERATING
SOME PIECE OF EQUIPMENT DOESN'T
HAVE THE PROPER RESOURCE AND
SUPPORT TO STOP WHAT THEY'RE
DREDGING FROM BASICALLY ESCAPING
BACK INTO THE RIVER BE OLATEDIT
SUTO BE WHEN THEY'RE
MAKING AN EFFORT TO CLEAN IT UP.
IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR THAT WE
ARE GOING TO JUST PAY INTO A
FUND AND THEN SOME CONTRACTOR
THAT'S GOING TO PAD THE COST OF
THE LABOR AND PAD THE COST OF
THE EQUIPMENT, AND THEN
SHORTCHANGE THE EFFORT BY NOT
PUTTING ENOUGH WORKERS ON SITE ,
BECAUSE SOME OF THE WORKERS WERE
SUPPOSED TO BE THE OWNERS WHO
DON'T SHOW UP TO DO ANY WORK.
BUT SOMETIMES THEY PAD UP TO 60%
TO 70% OF ALL THE MONEY THAT'S
BEING PAID INTO, LIKE A PROJECT,
AND NOBODY IN OVERSIGHT IS
KEEPING THEM HONEST ABOUT THEIR
LACK OF DILIGENT WORK ON THE
JOBSITE. THAT'S DELAY IN
CLEANING UP THE DUWAMISH. IF YOU
REALLY CARED ABOUT IT YOU WOULD
MAKE A RULE THAT SAID WE ARE
PAYING INTO THIS FUND, THE
CONTRACTORS HAVE TO PONY UP TWO
FULL SHIFTS WITH PUBLIC WORKS
KEEPING THEM HONEST ABOUT THEIR
EFFORTS INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING A
COUPLE DUDES MOVING SOME
EQUIPMENT AROUND AND MAKE IT
SEEM LIKE THEY ARE WORKING HARD
FOR THE PEOPLE, WHILE THE WHOLE
TIME YOU ARE PATTING THE COST
AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANYBODY IN
OVERSIGHT KEEPING THEM HONEST.
ALL WE GOT IS [ INAUDIBLE ] SO
PLEASE CONSIDER DOUBLE SHIFTS
AND FULL SHIFTS ON ALL THESE
PROJECTS SO WE CAN GET SOME
THINGS DONE AROUND HERE.
>> THANK YOU MR. HAYNES. IF
THERE ARE NO MORE SPEAKERS
SIGNED UP, THE HYBRID PUBLIC
COMMENT PERIOD IS CLOSED. THANK
YOU ALL WHO CAME TO SPEAK IN
PUBLIC AND THEN ALSO FOR OUR
ONLINE CALLERS. WILL THE CLERK
PLEASE READ AGENDA ITEM NUMBER
ONE INTO THE RECORD?
>> AGENDA ITEM 1, AN ORDINANCE
RELATING TO THE LOWER DUWAMISH
WATERWAY AUTHORIZING SEATTLE
CITY LIGHT AND SEATTLE PUBLIC
UTILITIES TO CONTINUE EXPENDING
FUNDS TO PARTICIPATE IN
ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND
REDOING REMEDIATION OF THE LOWER
DUWAMISH WATERWAY SUPERFUND
SITE. FOR BREATHING, DISCUSSION,
POSSIBLE VOTE. PRESENTING IS
BRIAN GOOD NIGHT FROM COUNCIL
CENTRAL STAFF.
>> THANK YOU MR. GOOD NIGHT.
LOOKING SHARP AS EVER TODAY, I
MIGHT ADD. PLEASE INTRODUCE
YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD AND GO
AHEAD AND EXPLAIN WHAT WE ARE
GOING TO BE VOTING ON TODAY.
>> THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS,
RYAN GOOD NIGHT FROM YOUR
COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF. AS YOU
MENTIONED EARLIER AT THE PRIOR
MEETING ON MARCH 26th, THE
COMMITTEE RECEIVED A
PRESENTATION FROM SEATTLE PUBLIC
UTILITIES, SEATTLE CITY LIGHT IN
THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. COUNCIL
BILL 120960, WHICH IS RELATED TO
THE LOWER DUWAMISH WATERWAY
SUPERFUND SITE. AS A BRIEF
REMINDER, THE SUPERFUND SITE IS
A FIVE-MILE STRETCH OF THE
DUWAMISH RIVER BETWEEN HARBOUR
ISLAND IN THE NORTH AND AN AREA
KNOWN AS THE TURNING BASIN IN
THE SOUTH. SINCE THE YEAR 2000
THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING WITH
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY, THE WASHINGTON STATE
DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY, KING
COUNTY, THE PORT OF SEATTLE, AND
BOEING TO INVESTIGATE
CONTAMINATION AND EXPLORE
REMEDIATION OPTIONS FOR THE
WATERWAY. THE EPA ISSUED A
PROPOSED CLEANUP PLAN IN 2013
AND SUBSEQUENTLY SELECTED A
CLEANUP REMEDY IN 2014 IN WHAT
IS KNOWN AS A RECORD OF
DECISION. IN 2023 THE EPA ISSUED
NOTICE TO THE CITY AND OTHER
PARTIES REQUIRING ENTRY INTO
CONSENT DECREE NEGOTIATIONS TO
FULLY IMPLEMENT THE 2014 RECORD
OF DECISIONS CLEANUP PROVISIONS.
AND AFTER 18 MONTHS OF
NEGOTIATION THE CITY, COUNTY,
AND BOEING REACHED AGREEMENTS
WITH THE EPA AND THE STATE
DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY ON TERMS
FOR THE CONSENT DECREE. SO THE
PURPOSE OF COUNCIL BILL 120960
IS TO ALLOW SPU AND CITY LIGHT
TO CONTINUE PARTICIPATING IN THE
CLEANUP ACTIVITIES , INCLUDING
EXPENDING FUNDS FOR
CONTAMINATION, INVESTIGATION,
AND REMEDIATION IN THE LOWER
DUWAMISH WATERWAY AND RELATED
SITES, ACCEPT FUNDS FROM OTHER
RESPONSIBLE PARTIES TO IMPLEMENT
THE CONSENT DECREE, AND SEEKING
AND ACCEPTING GRANT FUNDS FROM
THE STATE FOR CLEANUP
ACTIVITIES. THE COUNCIL HAS NOT
BEEN ASKED TO APPROVE THE ACTUAL
CONSENT DECREE OR THE RELATED
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER
PARTIES BECAUSE THAT AUTHORITY
RESTS WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE. RATHER THE COUNCIL IS
JUST BEING ASKED TO AUTHORIZE
SPU AND CITY LIKE TO MAKE ITS
MANAGERS CONSISTENT WITH THE
CONSENT DECREE AND BEYOND
CURRENT BUDGET CYCLE AND THIS
TYPE OF AUTHORITY IS ALLOWABLE
UNDER STATE LAW FOR PUBLIC
UTILITIES. AND THEN LASTLY I'LL
JUST BRIEFLY TOUCH ON THE
ESTIMATED COST FOR THE EFFORTS,
BOTH FOR THE CITY AND OVERALL.
SPU ESTIMATES THAT OVER THE 30
YEAR PROJECT PERIOD THE CLEANUP
COST WILL TOTAL ABOUT $757
MILLION FOR ALL PARTIES WITH THE
CITY BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR 31.5%
OF THOSE COSTS OR ABOUT $238
MILLION. ONE OF THE BENEFITS FOR
ENTERING INTO THE CONSENT DECREE
FOR THE CITY IS THAT IT WILL BE
ABLE TO RECEIVE SETTLEMENT FUNDS
FROM OTHER RESPONSIBLE PARTIES.
THE CITY EXPECTS TO RECEIVE
ABOUT $88 MILLION IN SETTLEMENT
FUNDS AND ALSO THE EPA WILL
WAIVE ABOUT $11 MILLION IN
OVERSIGHT COSTS. SO THAT BRINGS
THE CITY'S RESPONSE ABILITY
DOWN TO $141 MILLION OVER 40
YEARS AND THE EXECUTIVE IS
HOPEFUL THAT THE CITY COULD
RECEIVE FUNDING FROM STATE
SOURCES COVERING ABOUT HALF OF
THOSE COSTS. ULTIMATELY ANY
COSTS TO COVER CLEANUP
ACTIVITIES WILL COME FROM SPU
AND CITY LIGHT FUNDS IN BOTH
DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDING
THOSE COSTS IN THEIR CURRENT
FORECAST AND INTO THEIR RATE
STRUCTURES. THAT INCLUDES MY
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE BILL AND OF
COURSE AS YOU SEE BEHIND ME WE
HAVE STAFF FROM SPU, CITY LIGHT
AND THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. ARE
THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
>> AWESOME. THANK YOU MR.
GOODNIGHT. I KNOW I HAVE SAID
THIS BEFORE, WE'VE HAD SOME
BRIEFINGS AND EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
AND SOME INFORMATION, SO I WANT
TO PAUSE HERE TO SEE IF ANY OF
MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
POTENTIALLY AT ALL? LOOKING TO
THE RIGHT, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
NELSON.
>> I HEARD YOU SAY 30 YEAR
PROJECT, SO IS IT REALLY GOING
TO TAKE THAT LONG, 30 YEARS TO
COMPLETION? AND IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THERE HAS ALREADY
BEEN SOME WORK RELATED TO THE
CLEANUP, SO COULD YOU ALSO JUST
REMIND ME WHAT THAT WAS?
>> THAT'S CORRECT. THE CITY AND
ITS PARTNERS HAVE BEEN
PERFORMING CLEANUP COSTS FOR THE
LAST FIVE OR SO YEARS, I
BELIEVE. I'D HAVE TO BRING UP
STAFF IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO
ANSWER FURTHER QUESTIONS. I
THINK THE 30 YEAR PROJECT,
THAT'S THE ESTIMATE, THIS WOULD
REQUIRE REMEDIATION FOR THE
LONG-TERM AND MONITORING WHAT I
THINK IT'S A REASONABLE
TIMEFRAME TO ESTIMATE COST.
>> THANK YOU. THAT MAKES SENSE
THAT THERE IS MONITORING THAT IS
CONTINUOUS. THANK YOU.
>> WOULD YOU LIKE ANY STAFF,
COUNCIL PRESIDENT, TO COME UP?
>> THAT WAS MY ANSWER.
>> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. I
DON'T KNOW IF COUNCILMEMBER
KETTLE OR COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA,
I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE
SPOT BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS JUST LET ME KNOW.
OKAY, AWESOME. FIRST OF ALL,
THANK YOU MR. BRIAN GOODNIGHT
FOR THE OVERVIEW AND ALSO
PREPARING ALL THE INFORMATION
FOR US TO GET TO THIS POINT, AND
ALSO SEATTLE PUBLIC UTILITIES
FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU ALL
ARE DOING ON THE LOWER DUWAMISH
WATERWAY BUT ALSO HAVING JUST
VERY THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO THIS
AND BEING GOOD, WANTING TO BE
GOOD STEWARDS OF OUR LAND TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PROTECTING
IT, OBVIOUSLY FOR FUTURE
GENERATIONS AS WELL AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE
ALONG THE LOWER DUWAMISH AND
UNDERSTANDING SOME OF THE
CHALLENGES AND DIFFICULTIES THAT
THEY'RE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW
WITH SOME OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
SITUATIONS THAT ARE GOING ON. SO
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL, AS
WELL. COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE?
>> THANK YOU CHAIR
HOLLINGSWORTH. JUST SAY A
QUESTION, NOTHING RELATED TO THE
AGENDA ITEM BUT I THINK IT WOULD
BE VERY HELPFUL TO MAYBE HAVE A
COMMITTEE MEETING UNDERWAY WHERE
WE TOUR WATERSIDE FROM HARBOUR
ISLAND DOWN TO THE TURNING BASIN
AND BACK AND JUST GET A SENSE OF
THIS AREA. I'M NOT REALLY SURE
IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. I'M NOT
SURE IF SPU HAS PERIODIC
UNDERWAY BOAT LAUNCH KIND OF
REVIEW OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE
LINES, BUT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL
JUST TO PUT EYES ON AND GET A
SENSE OF THE ENTIRETY OF THE
PROJECT, AND THEN UNDERSTAND THE
DIFFERENT PIECES OF IT, TOO.
THERE'S OTHER PIECES THAT COME
INTO THIS, AS WELL, IN TERMS OF
THE CSO S AND THE LIKE. I THINK
IT WOULD JUST BE HELPFUL TO SEE
IT FROM THE WATER AS OPPOSED TO
DRIVING OVER IT, DRIVING BY IT,
THOSE KINDS OF LOOK ANGLES. I
THINK I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT
WOULD BE POSSIBLE MAYBE THROUGH
COORDINATION WITH SPU? THANK
YOU.
>> I SEE HEADS NODDING WITH MY
FAVORITE HENNESSY, BOB HENNESSY,
NODDING ABSOLUTE WE. I THINK
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN BE
ABLE TO DO. THANK YOU FOR THAT
SUGGESTION, COUNCILMEMBER
KETTLE. OKAY, GREAT. I'M GOING
TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE THAT THE
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PASSAGE OF
COUNCIL BILL 120960. IS THERE A
SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THANK YOU. A SECOND AND
THIRD. IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND
SECOND AND THIRD TO RECOMMEND,
FOURTH, PASSAGE OF THESE COUNCIL
BILL. OKAY. WILL THE CLERK
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION OF
COUNCIL BILL 120960?
>> COUNCILMEMBER?
>> AYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER NELSON.
>> AYE.
>> CHAIR HOLLINGSWORTH.

>> THERE ARE FOUR IN FAVOR, NONE
OPPOSED.
>> WONDERFUL, THE MOTION CARRIES
IN THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
TO CONFIRM THIS APPOINTMENT --

WILL BE SENT TO THE TUESDAY,
APRIL 15th CITY COUNCIL MEETING

OF ALL LET ME THANK EVERYONE FOR
THAT. I KNOW THIS IS A LONG
PROCESS, SO REALLY APPRECIATE US
GETTING TO THIS POINT. AND IF
THERE'S NO OTHER ITEMS ON THE
AGENDA TODAY, IF THERE'S NO
FURTHER BUSINESS, I SEE COUNCIL
PRESIDENT NELSON, YOUR HAND IS
UP.
>> I JUST WANTED TO ECHO YOUR
GRATITUDE, CHAIR, TO SPU STAFF,
BECAUSE I DO KNOW AND I'VE
KNOWN IT BEFORE THAT MY
INVOLVEMENT WITH IT GOES WAY
BACK TO THE EARLY 2000'S. AND I
KNOW YOURS PRECEDES THAT AS EVEN
BEFORE THAT. SO THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR YOUR HARD AND DILIGENT
WORK TO THIS POINT. AND IT'S
NOT OVER. SO THANK YOU.
>> IT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING.
THANK YOU COUNCIL PRESIDENT. IF
THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS FOR
THE COMMITTEE, I WILL SAY THAT
THIS IS BREAKING THE RECORD FOR
OUR FASTEST COMMITTEE MEETING
