HELLO EVERYBODY AND THANK YOU
FOR BEING HERE.
IT IS SOMEWHAT AFTER 2 PM.
I WANT TO WELCOME YOU.
WE ONLY HAVE ONE ITEM ON
TODAY'S AGENDA.
THAT IS CB 119490 REGARDING
SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FOR
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.
BEFORE WE GET INTO THAT, I'M
GOING TO ASK FOR PUBLIC
COMMENT.
I SEE WE HAVE ONE PERSON.
THANK YOU.
YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES.
>> IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE
DIRECTOR OF THE WATERFRONT
IMPROVEMENT AND THE COUNCIL
COULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE
DETAILS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO
ALLEVIATE THE OPPRESSION TO THE
METAL CLANGING AND BANGING
MANHOLE COVERS THAT ARE LIKE
LATCH DOORS.
THEY HAVE THEM SPECIFICALLY
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
HIGHWAY LANE OF TRAFFIC IN THE
WATERFRONT STREET NOW.
WHATEVER SET OF TIRES THEY ARE,
THERE ARE THREE SEPARATE
OPPRESSIVE PTSD NOISE POLLUTING
BANGING AND CLANGING.
THEY NEED TO IMPROVE THIS BY
NOT ALLOWING ANY MORE OF THESE
MANHOLE COVERS IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE ROAD.
THERE WAS A FAMILY THIS MORNING
AND THEIR KIDS WERE STARTLED
BECAUSE THE CARS ARE HITTING
THIS METAL LATCH REPEATEDLY.
>> WHAT'S THE ADDRESS?
THE STREET CROSSING?
>> THE MARRIOTT AND THE PIER.
NORTH OF THE MARRIOTT?
I GO SOUTH.
WITH THE BLUE BIKE PATHS ARE.
IT IS GOING ON.
YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THAT.
DON'T ALLOW ANY MORE OF THESE.
THERE ARE OTHER PLACES IN THE
CITY THAT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS.
IT'S TOO MUCH FOR PEOPLE TO
DEAL WITH.
IT SHOULD BE QUIET.
IT'S THE WATERFRONT.
WE DON'T NEED OPPRESSIVE
REMINDERS.
>> ALREADY.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
ANYBODY ELSE?
DOES ANYBODY WANT TO SPEAK?
>> RIGHT.
THIS MOVE TO OUR FIRST ITEM.
IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO
READ THAT IN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> CB 119490 AN ORDINANCE
RELATING TO THE CENTRAL
WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM;
AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF THE
OFFICE OF THE WATERFRONT AND
CIVIC PROJECTS TO EXECUTE AN
AGREEMENT WITH THE WASHINGTON
STATE FERRY SYSTEM FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES TO
SUPPORT ELECTRIFICATION OF
FERRY VESSELS AT THE COLMAN
FERRY TERMINAL; AMENDING
ORDINANCE 125724, WHICH ADOPTED
THE 2019 BUDGET, INCLUDING THE
2019-2024 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM (CIP); CHANGING

>> WELL DONE.
THANK YOU.
>> MARSHALL, DO YOU WANT TO

>> YES MARSHALL FOSTER,
DIRECTOR .
>> DORI COSTA, OFFICE OF THE
WATERFRONT.
>> CALEB WAGENAAR, CITY BUDGET
OFFICE.
>> ERIK SUND, COUNCIL CENTRAL
STAFF .
>> WELCOME.
WELCOME TO ALL OF YOU.
>> DO YOU WANT TO KICK IT OFF
OR IS DORI.
>> I WILL LET DORI.
>> THANK YOU.
LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET THIS TO
GO.
LIKE GO SO THIS LEGISLATION
REVISES THE 2019 ADOPTED BUDGET
AND THE 2019 TO 2024 CIP FOR
THE WATERFRONT PROGRAM.
THE REVISIONS INCLUDE CHANGES
TO CASH FLOW FOR THE WATERFRONT
PROGRAM RELATED TO THE LI D
FORMATION ORDINANCE THAT
COUNCIL PASSED IN JANUARY 2019.
IT ALSO MAKES SOME OTHER
CHANGES TO THE BUDGET THAT CAME
UP AFTER THE BUDGET WAS
SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL LAST YEAR.
IT UPDATES, AS I SAID THE
FUNDING PLAN TO BE CONSISTENT
WITH THE LI D AND AUTHORIZES
OUR OFFICE TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT WITH WASHINGTON STATE
FERRIES TO ALLOW US TO
CONSTRUCT ELECTRICAL
IMPROVEMENTS TO SUPPORT HYBRID
FERRIES AND ADDS AN EXTERNAL
FUNDING.
>> THE NEXT SLIDE IS ACTUALLY
ONE THAT WE SHOWED TO COUNCIL
DURING THE LI D FORMATION.
THIS IS THE FUNDING CHANGES
THAT WERE MADE AS PART OF THAT
FORMATION.
THEY WILL COVER THE REVISED LI
D AMOUNT.
WE MADE A $5 MILLION COST
REDUCTION IN REMOVING THREE
PROMENADE KIOSKS AND ADDED
PHILANTHROPY.
WE ADDED SOME MPD FUNDS
CONVERTING OPERATING TO CAPITAL
FOR THE WATERFRONT PARK AND WE
ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL CPT BONDS
AND THIS BUDGET ACTUALLY, THE
REVISION CHANGES THE CIP TO
REFLECT THOSE DECISIONS THAT
WERE MADE.
>> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT
UP I THANK YOU FOR ADDING THE
SLIDE.
I WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT
THE $8 MILLION THAT COMES FROM
OUR METROPOLITAN A PARK
DISTRICT WAS THAT IT IS NOT NEW
MONEY TAKEN FROM ANY OTHER
PARK.
IT HAD BEEN A LINE ITEM FOR
OPERATING COST.
THINGS WERE DELAYED FOR SOME
OTHER REASONS.
THAT WAS RECAPTURED AND USED
FOR CAPITAL.
NO OTHER PARK IN THE CITY IS
BEING EXCEEDED ME LOSING FUNDS
FOR THAT.
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THE ADDITIONAL BUDGET
CHANGES BEYOND THE BUDGET
CHANGES IS -- WE ARE ADDING $2
MILLION TO THE ALASKAN WAY AND
PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS PIE IN
THIS PIE CHART.
WE ARE ADDING $2 MILLION TO
REIMBURSE US FOR DESIGN COST.
THAT IS NEW MONEY. WE ARE ALSO
ADDING $10 MILLION OF -- FROM
THE WASHINGTON STATE CONVENTION
CENTER FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS.
COUNCIL PROVED THAT LAST YEAR.
THEY HAVE GIVEN US THE FIRST
CHECK.
THIS LEGISLATION ALLOWS US AND
AUTHORIZES US TO ACCEPT THE
FUNDS AND TO BE ABLE TO SPEND
THE MONEY.
>> ONCE AGAIN I WANT TO
UNDERSCORE THAT THIS MONEY IS
GOING TO THE PINE CORRIDOR.
THIS IS EAST OF PINE PLACE
MARKET.
THIS IS NOT WATERFRONT MONEY.
IT HELPS US WITH THE
CONNECTION.
>> THAT INCREASES OUR TOTAL
PROJECT COST TO $724 MILLION
FOR THE ENTIRE WATERFRONT
PROGRAM.
WE ALSO WILL -- MOVING TO THE
NEXT LINE, WE WILL ALSO ALLOW
FUNDS FROM THE FERRY TO BUILD
THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE MARSHALL
MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A PRETTY
REMARKABLE DESIGN CHANGE.
WE DECIDED TO REUSE AN EXISTING
SEWER LINE. THAT WILL ALLOW US
TO RUN THE ELECTRICAL CABLE
WITHOUT IMPACTING THE BALLAST
ISLAND FILL THAT HAS SOME
TRIBAL AND NATIVE AMERICAN
SIGNIFICANCE.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT.
I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
FOR THOSE WORKING IN AND AROUND
THE WATERFRONT.
IT WILL NOT BE MESSED UP AGAIN.
>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR CREATIVITY AND FOR
PROTECTING THE NATIVE LANDS.
>> ONE ADDITIONAL THOUGHT.
IT IS A VERY EXCITING FIRST
STEP THAT IS TAKING PLACE. WE
HAVE HAD A LONG-STANDING
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STATE AND
WITH WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES
WHERE THEY ARE MOVING TO
ESSENTIALLY HYBRID VEHICLES
OVER TIME WHICH WILL REDUCE
THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT IN THE
REGION.
THE DIESEL FERRIES ARE
SIGNIFICANT SOURCES OF CARBON
EMISSIONS.
THIS WAS A LATE ADDITION TO THE
PROGRAM.
IT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY SCOPED
AND OUR SPACE FOR CONDUITS FOR
ALL FORMS OF UTILITIES IS VERY
LIMITED.
WE WERE JUST PLEASED TO BE ABLE
TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND ARE
ABLE TO DO SO BY USING A --
WHAT HAD BEEN A LEFTOVER SEWER
MAIN.
NOT AN ACTIVE SEWER MAIN.
WE ARE REAPER SINGING THAT.
THIS WILL NOT RESOURCE IT
EXCUSE ME IMPACT ANY OTHER
RESOURCES IN THE AREA.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THAT WAS THE LAST SLIDE.
I'M SORRY.
SO, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,
YOU HAVE A LEGISLATION, WE WILL
BE GLAD TO ANSWER THEM.
>> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD?
>> WE ARE JUST HERE FOR
QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM.
>> I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT I HAD A PRE-BRIEFING ON
THIS.
I APPRECIATE THAT YOU HAVE
ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS THAT I
HAD.
I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK THAT
ALL OF YOU HAVE DONE OVER THE
LAST 14 YEARS YOU HAVE ALSO
DONE A LOT OF WORK.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US TO
THIS POINT.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT, TRAN1 I KNOW
YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS.
IF THERE IS NO FURTHER
DISCUSSION.
I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE APPROVAL
OF CB 119490 AS PRESENTED.
SECONDED.
>> CB 119490 . ALL THOSE IN
FAVOR SAY AYE; ALL THOSE
OPPOSED SAY NO.
THE MOTION CARRIES AND THE
APPOINTMENT IS CONFIRMED..
VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU.
I BELIEVE THIS IS THE ONLY ITEM
THAT WE HAD ON TODAY'S AGENDA.
I APPRECIATE YOU COMING.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
