DID YOU WANT TO WAIT?
SURE.
WE WILL SKIP TO THE NEXT SO HE
WANTS COUNCIL MEMBER BAGSHAW
HERE.
>> THE HONORABLE MICHAEL
FULLER.
>> THE HONORABLE MICHAEL FULLER
.
>> I DON'T LIKE WHAT'S GOING
ON, YOU KNOW, AND I'VE BEEN IN
THIS BUSINESS OVER 2 1/2
DECADES AND WHAT I'M SEEING
HERE IS ORGANIZED CRIME,
CONTROLLED 15, 1970, THAT WAS
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT RICHARD
NIXON AND THE 18 U.S. CODE AND
2441 WAR CRIME, BE MINDFUL,
SEPTEMBER 11th -- 2 -- 343
FIREFIGHTERS DEATH, 19 HIGH
JACKERS DEATH.
THEN 2010, 11.2 MILLION
UNAUTHORIZED, UNDOCUMENTED
ALIENS, THE 2015 42 MILLION
UNAUTHORIZED, UNDOCUMENTED
ALIENS AND THEN THE TAXPAYERS
ARE PAYING $338.3 BILLION ON
UNAUTHORIZED UNDOCUMENTED
ALIENS AND YOU LET THEM SLEEP
-- LET OUR VETERANS SLEEP ON
THE STREET?
Y'ALL THE ONE CAME IN AND
BREACHED MY DADDY'S CONTRACT
WHEN HE SERVED THIS COUNTRY, 2
1/2 DECADES DURING THE KOREAN
WAR AND VIETNAM WAR AND THEN
Y'ALL SITTING UP HERE VIOLATING
YOUR RCW, OATH ON ADMISSION,
2.24020, RC W-4 .08, YOUR OATH
OF OFFICE.
AND THAT MALICIOUS HARASSMENT
98.36.80, AND 39.60030 FREEDOM
FROM DISCRIMINATION, AND
98.3608 MALICIOUS HARASSMENT,
BLACK LIVES MATTER, BUT THIS IS
NOT THE CHANGES OR THE DREAMS

>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
>> IT'S DISCOURAGING TO COME UP

TIMER, SO LET'S GO.
>> I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOU.
>> YOU'RE ON A TWO MINUTE
TIMER.
>> COULD YOU START IT OVER,
PLEASE.
>> NO, WE ARE NOT GOING TO.
JUST GO AHEAD.
>> SO IT WAS UNREASONABLE FOR
ME TO ASK THAT PEOPLE LOOK UP
AND GIVE ME THEIR ATTENTION?
>> SIR, YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES.
>> WE ARE ALL LOOKING AT YOU.
YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES.
NOW YOU HAVE A MINUTE AND 30
SECONDS.
>> OKAY.
WELL, I GUESS I WON'T BE ABLE
TO SAY IT.
LAST WEEK YOU LIMITED -- THIS
KIND OF GOES TO THE HEART OF
WHAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT
WHICH WAS THE STATE OF OUR
DEMOCRACY.
LAST WEEK YOU LIMITED SPEAKERS
BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF
SPEAKERS TO ONE MINUTE EACH,
BUT YOU ALLOWED CAMILA JAYAPAL
TO SPEAK AS LONG AS SHE WANTED
TO, FOUR OR FIVE MINUTES AND IT
REMINDED ME OF GEORGIA WELLS
FAMOUS SAYING FROM ANIMAL FARM
ABOUT HOW ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL
THAN OTHERS.
AND THAT'S HOW I FEEL LIKE I'M
BEING TREATED NOW JUST BECAUSE
I WAS KIND OF ASKING FOR YOUR
ATTENTION, LIKE I NOTICED YOU
WERE ALL VERY ATTENTIVE TO MISS
JAYAPAL LAST WEEK AND I JUST
WANTED TO ASK FOR YOUR
ATTENTION BEFORE I STARTED.
AND I IMMEDIATELY GOT A HOSTILE
RESPONSE BACK FROM YOU.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO YOU DON'T EVER RESPOND TO%
CITIZENS OR WHAT'S --
>> I DO, SIR, BUT YOU HAVE TWO
MINUTES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT TO
THE AGENDA ITEMS.
>> WELL, IT'S ALL ON TAPE AND I
THINK IT'S A PRETTY SAD
COMMENTARY THAT YOU THINK THAT
ASKING FOR YOU GUYS TO LOOK UP
OFF OF YOUR COMPUTERS AND GIVE
ATTENTION DURING THIS SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME WAS AN
UNREASONABLE THING.
I REALLY FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT.
>> THANK YOU.
WHO IS NEXT?
>> GREETINGS, THIS IS DAVID
ZITIF AND I HAVE A COMMENT THAT
DOESN'T RELATE TO AN AGENDA
ITEM BUT HOPEFULLY MAY BE
USEFUL.
OBVIOUSLY IN SEATTLE PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED ON THE TOPIC OF GUN
SAFETY.
YOU'RE AWARE THAT A FEW MONTHS
AGO ON NEW YEAR'S EVE THERE WAS
A SHOOTING CURRENTLY UNDER
INVESTIGATION.
WE DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHO
WAS AT FAULT, AT LEAST THE
INVESTIGATION DOESN'T SEEM TO
BE COMPLETE YET.
ACTUALLY TRIED TO FOLLOW THE
INVESTIGATION A LITTLE BIT FROM
THE NEWS AND WATCHED THE VIDEO
SEVERAL TIMES.
I HAD NEGATIVE INTERACTION WITH
THE PARTICULAR OFFICER SEVERAL
MONTHS PRIOR AND SO HAVE
THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
AND I THOUGHT OF TWO THINGS
THAT THE COUNCIL MIGHT WISH TO
BE AWARE OF AND THINK ABOUT FOR
THE GENERAL SITUATION.
ONE IS, UNLESS I'M MISTAKEN, I
THINK SEATTLE POLICE OFFICERS
TEND TO USE GLOVES AS THEIR
PRELIMINARY SIDE ARM WHICH HAS
NO SAFETY AS A PULL WEIGHT OF 5
1/2 POUNDS.
PULL WEIGHT IS WHAT IT REQUIRES
TO PULL THE TRIGGER AND IN NEW
YORK CITY A FEW YEARS AGO WHAT
THEY DECIDED TO DO WAS TO
CREATE A DEVICE TO INCREASE THE
PULL WEIGHT OF THE TRIGGER TO
REDUCE ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGES.
WE NORMALLY WOULDN'T THINK THAT
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGES WOULD
HAPPEN WITH POLICE OFFICERS.
WE WOULD NORMALLY THINK THEY
HAVE BEEN WELL TRAINED BUT THEY
ACTUALLY DO.
IN 2002 SEATTLE POLICE RELEASED
A REPORT ABOUT THEIR USE OF
FORCE.
IN THEIR OWN REPORT THEY SAID
WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS WE
HAVE HAD FOUR ACCIDENTAL
DISCHARGES.
FOUR ACCIDENAL DISCHARGES OF
POLICE OFFICERS SOME AT THE
RANGE AND SOME OUTSIDE THE
RANGE.
IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY A FEW
YEARS AGO THE SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES SWITCHED OVER FROM ONE
KIND OF HANDGUN TO A DIFFERENT
KIND OF HANDGUN SIMILAR TO THE
GLOCK.
AND THEY FOUND THAT THEIR
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGES INCREASED
BASICALLY DOUBLED.
AND SO ONE THING THAT SOME OF
YOU SHOULD CHECK ON IS THE PULL
WEIGHT OF OUR GLOVES BECAUSE
THEY CAN BE MODIFIED AND IT MAY
MAKE OUR POLICE OFFICERS SAFER.
>> THANK YOU, SIR.
THANK YOU
>> THE LAST SPEAKER IS PAUL
NAVASU KIM SUNG AG.
>> MY NAME IS PAUL, I'M OFFICER
KIM SUNG AG.
CODE 1954 THAT WAS SOCIALISM
WITH COMMUNISM, COMMUNITIES NOT
ALLOW IN EMPLOYEES OR IN A
CORPORATION WHICH IS YOUR
CORPORATION, AND SAWANT SHOULD
REALLY FORFEIT BECAUSE SHE WAS
NOT A MONARCHIST SOCIALIST SHE
IS ACTUALLY A COMMUNIST
SOCIALIST AND PUTTING INTO THE
FBI AND ALSO U.S. TREASURY, MY
BEST FRIEND IS IN THE U.S.
TREASURY.
AND ALSO NAS FOR DATA
COLLECTION IN THE BEGINNING.
SO AS A STUDENT ASSISTANT
NEUTRALITY TRUE, YOU HAVE TO
REALLY THINK ABOUT
APPROPRIATING YOUR BALLOT.
THANK YOU.
AND THE METRO THING, THAT WAS
MINE.
AND YEAH, AND FREE METRO PASSES
CORPORATION.
SO IF YOU REALLY HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT THINGS, YOU REALLY HAVE
TO THINK ABOUT ONE THING.
I'M GOING RUNNING AGAINST YOU,
I'LL HAVE THE UNION, I HAVE
INTERNATIONAL, I HAVE THE
MONARCHY AND I ALSO HAVE OTHER
THINGS.
SO I AM RUNNING AGAINST YOU.
I DON'T NEED NO MONEY.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, SIR.
>> THAT'S WHO YOU ARE RUNNING
AGAINST.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HAVE A NICE DAY.
>> YOU TOO.
ARE WE DONE WITH PUBLIC
COMMENT?
>> WITH THAT, WE WILL CLOSE
PUBLIC COMMENT.
>> FOLLOWING DOWN THE AGENDA WE
WILL GO PAYMENT TO THE BILLS.
PLEASE READ THE TITLE.
>> I MOVE TO PASS COUNCIL BILL
119474.
>> SECOND.
>> MOVED AND SECOND.

PLEASE CALL THE RULE ON THE

SAWANT.

TO 2023.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT

>> IN NELLAMS IS HERE AND I'D
LIKE TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS.
I'M SURE MY COLLEAGUES DO AS
WELL.
MR. NELLAMS, WE ARE IN
COMMITTEE AND HE HAS BEEN AT
SEATTLE CENTER FOR OVER 20
YEARS, HE WORKED CLOSELY WITH
THIS COUNCIL AND MANY OTHER
COUNCILS BUT MOST RECENTLY IN
THE REVISIONING AND THE
REMODELING, THE REDEVELOPMENT
OF SEATTLE CENTER AND WE
APPRECIATE HIS WISDOM, HIS
LEADERSHIP AND HIS INTELLECT

DECADES THAT YOU HAVE BEEN AT
SEATTLE CENTER, YOU HAVE PROVEN
AND DEMONSTRATED EXCELLENCE,
PROVEN RESULTS AND I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
AND ALL THE WORK THAT WE HAVE

COMMENTS.

SECONDS.
SO I WANT TO SAY THANKS,
ROBERT, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE
WORKING WITH YOU FOR THESE 10
YEARS.
WE STARTED OFF IN A PARKS AND
SEATTLE CENTER COMMITTEE
TOGETHER AND JUST LOOK AT THE
THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN
ACCOMPLISHED IN THIS LAST
DECADE.
THE CHIHULY STARTED OFF AND
PEOPLE WERE ANGRY ABOUT IT.

THINGS ARE HAPPENING AND I KNOW

LEADING IN THIS, IT'S GOING TO
REALLY MAKE SEATTLE CENTER ONCE

I THINK THAT NOTHING BUT
FABULOUS NEWS IS GOING TO COME
FROM THERE OVER THE NEXT FEW
YEARS.
SO YOU CERTAINLY HAVE MY VOTE,
MY SUPPORT AND I APPRECIATE YOU
VERY MUCH.
>> HERBOLD.
>> THANK YOU.
I WANT TO SING YOUR PRAISES
ABOUT AN ISSUE I JUST LEARNED
ABOUT LAST WEEK.
MAYBE SOMETHING THAT HASN'T
GOTTEN A LOT OF ATTENTION THAT
I REALLY THINK SHOULD IN OUR
EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS
CITY IS A PLACE THAT IS -- IT'S
PUBLIC FACILITIES, PARTICULARLY
OUR ARTISAN CULTURE FA RELATES
IS REPUBLICANNING AND PROVIDE
ACCESS FOR ALL.
I WAS VISITED BY A DISABILITIES
RIGHTS ADVOCATE WHO HAS REACHED
OUT TO ME ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT
WE SHOULD CONSIDER PASSING
LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRES
CAREGIVERS TO RECEIVE A FREE
ENTRANCE TICKET TO A VENUE IN
THOSE INSTANCES WHERE THE
PERSON WITH A DISABILITY NEEDS
A CAREGIVER AND ARGUING THAT IS
A REQUIRED PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION
AND HE TOLD ME THAT YOU TOOK A
LOT OF LEADERSHIP ON THAT ISSUE
AS IT RELATES SPECIFICALLY TO
THE VENUES AT SEATTLE CENTER SO
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER
HERBOLD.
ANYONE ELSE?
OKAY.
WITH THAT, MR. NELLAMS, YOU
WANT TO COME UP AND SAY A FEW
WORDS?
>> I'M SORRY.
THEN SIT BACK DOWN.
I WAS READY TO GET YOU UP HERE.
SO IF THERE ARE NO -- IF THERE
ARE ANY MORE COMMENTS THEN WE
WILL GO FORWARD WITH THE
CONFIRMATION.
THOSE IN FAVOR OF CONFIRMING
THE APPOINTMENT, VOTE AYE.
>> AYE.
>> THE APPOINTMENT IS
CONFIRMED.
NOW MR. NELLAMS.
>> PLEASE COME TALK TO US.
BRIEF REMARKS.
JUST KIDDING.
THANK YOU.
>> MY WIFE ALWAYS TELLS ME TO
BE CLEAR, BE BRIEF, BE SEATED.
SO I WILL DO THAT.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK YOU
ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED
CONFIDENCE AND SUPPORT.
YOU ALL KNOW THAT I LOVE THIS
JOB AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT WE
HAVE A PLACE THAT REFLECTS THE
VALUES OF OUR COMMUNITY WHERE
ANYONE CAN COME THAT IS
ACCESSIBLE AND AN INCLUSIVE OF
EVERYONE AND THAT I WORK WITH
PEOPLE THAT TRY THEIR DARNDEST
THAT SHOWS UP ON OUR CAMPUS.
I WOULD LOVE TO SAY THAT I LOOK

YEARS.

COMING TO SEATTLE CENTER WITH
THE ARENA PROJECT AND OTHER
THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO
HAPPEN.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING

ELENA FAR DELA IS RECENTLY
RETIRED FROM HER POSITION AS

THE WHITE HOUSE OFFICE OF URBAN

SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS?
>> WE WILL MOVE FORWARD.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF
CONFIRMING THE APPOINTMENTS
VOTE AYE.
>> AYE.
>> THOSE OPPOSED, VOTE NO.
THE ITEMS ARE CONFIRMED.
READ ITEM NUMBER 8 IN THE
RECORD.
>> RELATING TO THE
APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE DELRIDG
MULTIMODAL CORRIDOR PROJECT.
>> THIS IS SOMETHING WE LOOKED
AT IN THE BUDGET LAST YEAR AND
WE PLACED A PROVISO ON THEIR
CONTINUED DESIGN WORK ON THE
30% THRESHOLD UNTIL WE HEARD
BACK AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THEY WERE DOING GOOD WORK ON
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
GREAT REPORT IN COMMITTEE, ALSO
HEARD IN PUBLIC COMMENT FROM
COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT THEY
REALLY APPRECIATE THE
ENGAGEMENT AND SOME OF THE
DESIGN CHANGES, WE STILL HAVE A
WAYS TO GO IN DESIGN BUT
LIFTING THE PROVISO WILL ALLOW
THEM TO GET TO THE NEXT PHASE.
BEFORE WE PROCEED TO A VOTE, I
KNOW MY COLLEAGUE COUNCIL
MEMBER HERBOLD HAS AN AMENDMENT
TO PROPOSE WHICH I SUPPORT.
>> I MOVE TO AMENDMENT COUNSEL
BILL 119434, AS PRESENTED ON
VERSION 2 OF AMENDMENT ONE
WHICH WAS DISTRIBUTED AT THIS
MEETING.
>> SECOND.
>> BY 578DING SECTION 2, JUST
SECTION 2, CORRECT?
>> YES.
>> ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS?
>> T I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE
AMENDMENT QUICKLY.
AS COUNCIL MEMBER O'BRIAN SAID,
THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN VERY
COMPLIMENTARY OF SDOT'S EFFORTS
TO DO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF THE
MULTIMODAL ISSUES SURROUNDING
THIS PROJECT.
THIS AMENDMENT ADDS THAT THE
COUNCIL ANTICIPATES THAT SDOT
WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE
ISSUES IDENTIFIED BY THE
COMMUNITY AND NOTES IN SDOT'S
PRESENTATION TO THE
SUSTAINABILITY AND
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE LAST
WEEK AS WORK SDOT IS EVALUATING
SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS TO THE
AVENUE GREEN WAY.
IT REFERENCES WORK THAT NEEDS
TO BE DONE WITH SEATTLE PUBLIC
UTILITIES TO ENSURE THAT THE
DESIGN COMPLIES WITH THE STORM
WATER CODE AND FINALLY IT
REFERENCES THE NEED FOR A
FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH KING
COUNTY METRO IN ADVANCE OF
SEEKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR
PROJECT CONSTRUCTION.
THAT'S THE FINAL PIECE OF
LEGISLATION NEEDED AND THAT
WILL BE COMING TO US DURING THE
BUDGET PROCESS THIS YEAR.
>> THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.
THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT
VOTE AYE.
>> AYE.

THE AYES HAVE IT, THE MOTION
CARRIES AND THE BILL IS
AMENDED.

COUNCIL BILL 119434 AS AMENDED.

>> IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED
TO PASS COUNCIL BILL 119434 AS
AMENDED.
COUNCIL MEMBER O'BRIAN DO YOU
WANT TO --
>> ALL GOOD.
>> I LIKE THAT, ALL GOOD.
OKAY. SO IS THAT IT?
I WAS LOOKING AT THE WRONG NOTE
HERE.

WASHINGTON PERMISSION TO
MAINTAIN -- WEST OF MONTLAKE
BOULEVARD NORTHEAST.
COMMUNITY RECOMMENDS THE BILL
PASS.
>> SO THIS IS LEGISLATION THAT
WILL ALLOW THE CITY TO RENEW A
PERMIT FOR UNIVERSITY OF
WASHINGTON TO OPERATE TUNNEL
CONNECTING THE PARKING GARAGE
UNDER THE TRIANGLE KIND OF
BETWEEN MONTLAKE AND PACIFIC,
ACROSS FROM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
TO THE HOSPITAL.
THE TUNNEL HAS BEEN AROUND OVER
30 YEARS.
AND THE PREVIOUS PERMIT HAS
EXPIRED, SO THIS WOULD GIVE
AUTHORITY FOR A 10-YEAR PERMIT
DATING BACK STARTING IN 2015
AND TWO MORE 10-YEAR EXTENSIONS
THAT COULD BE APPROVED WITHOUT
COUNCIL APPROVAL.
THE PERMIT FEE FOR THIS IS
$1680 FOR 2015.
