>>> GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.
GOOD MORNING, THIS IS COUNCIL
BRIEFING MEETING FEBRUARY
18th.
THE TIME IS 9:32.
I'M DEBORA JUAREZ.
I'M PRO TAM UNTIL NEXT WEEK,
THE 28th.
I WILL START WITH ROLL.
WE ARE JOINED BY COUNCILMEMBER
TERESA MOSQUEDA.
MORALES, STRAUSS, PEDERSEN,
LEWIS, AND ANDREW.
WITH THAT.
WE HAVE SEVEN COUNCILMEMBERS
PRESENT.
LET'S GO THROUGH APPROVAL OF
THE MINUTES.
THE FIRST ITEM IS APPROVAL OF
THE MINUTES.
IS THERE IS NO OBJECTION, THE
MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 10th OF
2020 WILL BE ADOPTED.
OKAY.
HEARING NO OBJECTION, THE
MINUTES ARE ADOPTED.
LY GO TO THE PRESIDENT'S
REPORT.
I DON'T HAVE A PRESIDENT'S
REPORT.
WE WERE GOING TO START WITH OUR
STATE LEGISLATIVE FOLKS, BUT,
WE WILL WAIT UNTIL THEY GET
HERE.
SO WITH THAT, WE WILL JUST GO
AROUND THE TABLE LIKE WE
NORMALLY DO AND DO OUR REPORTS
STARTING WITH ME.
THE NEXT MEETING OF THE PUBLIC
ASSETS WILL BE TUESDAY MARCH 3
AT 2:00.
WE HAVE TWO PARKS RELATED ITEMS
HEADED OUR WAY.
IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE A SHORT
AGENDA.
ONE THING WE ARE DOING THAT I'M
EXCITED ABOUT, WE MET WITH THE
TULALIP TRIBE, SNOQUALMIE, THE
PUYALLUP TRIBE.
THE MUCKLECHUTE TRIBE.
OUR CITY COUNCIL CAN UNDERSTAND
HOW TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS WORK.
AND THE COWLISS TRIBE.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
WE ARE PUT TING THAT TOGETHER.
LAST WEEK, I ATTENDED A SOUND
TRANSIT EXPANSION COMMITTEE.
I SIT ON SOUND TRANSIT BUT I'M
NOT ON THIS PARTICULAR
COMMITTEE BUT I WENT THERE
BECAUSE WE ARE DISCUSSING 130th
STREET.
IT IS A TRICOUNTY WITH
SNOHOMISH, PIERCE, AND KING.
I WANT TO THANK YOU
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS FOR
SHOWING UP AND SUPPORTING THE
STREET COMING IN EARLY.
THE LYNNWOOD STATION IS
SUPPOSED TO OPEN IN 2024.
SO WE ARE PUSHING FORWARD TO
SEE THE 130th STREET BE BUILT
AT THE SAME TIME AS THE
LYNNWOOD LINK.
I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO
ALL THE SOUND TRANSIT BOARD
MEMBERS.
AND, ALSO, OUR OTHER ELECTED
LEADER INS SNOHOMISH COUNTY.
AND IN PIERCE COUNTY AND I
REALLY WANT TO THANK THE NORTH
END FOLKS.
ALL OF SEATTLE NORTH END FOLKS
AND SOUTH.
AND PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTH FROM
SNOHOMISH COUNTY THAT CAME OUT
IN SUPPORT OF PUBLIC COMMENT.
THEY WERE GREAT IN LISTENING TO
THIS ISSUE.
SO, WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO SAY
THEY DID PASS A MOTION AND SO,
WITHIN A YEAR, WE WILL BE AT
100% DESIGN FOR 130th.
AND HOPEFULLY, WE WILL BEGIN
PLANNING AND BUILDING THE
STATION.
IT WILL COME IN EARLIER THAN
2031.
WE ARE LOOKING AT 2025 OR 2026
WHICH IS INCREDIBLE.
WE KNOW WITH LIGHT RAIL COMING
AT NORTH GATE, WITH THE WHOLE
RECON FIGURING OF NORTHGATE
MALL WITH OVG AND THE NHL AND
THE PEDESTRIAN BIKE BRIDGE THAT
JUST CAME IN ANTICIPATED
RIDERSHIP IS BETWEEN 40 AND
50,000.
WE WERE AT 3,000 UNITS OF
HOUSING OF MIXED, LOW INCOME,
AFFORDABLE, AND WORK FORCE.
WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE FIRST
TIME, THE NORTH, EAST, AND WEST
SIDE OF I-5 WILL BE CONNECTED
BY THE PEDESTRIAN I-5 BRIDGE.
NORTH SEATTLE COLLEGE IS VERY
HAPPY.
THEY HAVE 18,000 STUDENTS THAT
ROTATE THROUGH THERE.
NORTH GATE HAD AROUND 2,000
EMPLOYEE WITHS THE NHL TRAIN
CENTER.
1500 UNITS OF MARKET RATE
HOUSING.
TWO NEW OFFICE BUILDINGS OR
ANTICIPATING THE WORK FORCE
THERE ALONE THERE TO BE AROUND
2,000.
SO, WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE
EXPANSION IN DENSITY.
SOME OF YOU WEREN'T HERE LAST
YEAR WHEN WE PASSED SOME OF OUR
UP ZONES.
I HAD 17 UP ZONES AND EVERY ONE
OF THEM WERE PASSED.
A LOT OF THESE AREAS WERE ALSO
HIGH DISPLACEMENT AND LOW
OPPORTUNITY.
WITH THESE JOBS COMING, PEOPLE
ABLE TO GET ON LIGHT RAIL, IT
IS EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT FOREVER WITH
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT,
HOUSING, AND TRANSIT ORIENTED
CHILD CARE.
WE ARE WORKING WITH THE
DEVELOPERS ON THAT AS WELL W.
THAT, I WILL TURN TO THE RIGHT
AND LET EACH OF YOU INTRODUCE
YOURSELVES AND GO THROUGH YOUR
CALENDAR.
>> THANK YOU MADAME PRESIDENT.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
WE HAVE ON TODAY'S FULL COUNCIL
AGENDA, ONE AMENDMENT I WILL BE
BRINGING FORWARD.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE FOLKS HAD
A CHANCE TO SEE IT.
YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT
OVER THE WEEKEND.
119656 REGARDING THE
TRANSITIONAL ENCAMPMENT
LEGISLATION.
FIRST I WANT TO THANK THE
CHAIR.
THANK YOU CANCELLUS FOR YOUR
STEWARDSHIP.
I KNOW THERE WAS A NUMBER OF
AMENDMENTS.
ONE OF THOSE I'M SAD TO SAY IS
MINE BUT IT IS A MINOR
AMENDMENT.
THE FUNDING APPROPRIATED FOR
LAST YEAR IS FOR TINY HOMES OR
ENHANCED SHELTERS AND YOU AND I
HAD THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF IT IS NOT JUST
TINY HOMES BUT THE SUITE OF
ENHANCED SHELTERS WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT WHICH IS CRITICAL
SO PEOPLE KNOW THERE IS A
NUMBER OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO
GET STABILIZED AND TO GET
HOUSED IN THE LONG TERM.
SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
WAS OFFERED WITH THE INTENT WE
SPONSORED LAST YEAR WITH THE
COUNCIL TO SHAKE SURE IT IS
CLARIFYING ENHANCED SHELTERS AS
WELL.
>>> OUR NEXT COMMITTEE FOR THE
FINANCE AND HOUSING COMMITTEE
WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY
19.
THAT'S THIS WEEK AT 2:00 P.M.
THIS AGAIN IS ANOTHER SPECIAL
TIME.
APOLOGIES TO MY COUNCIL
COLLEAGUES ON THE COMMITTEE DUE
TO YESTERDAY'S HOLIDAY.
WE DID HAVE TO BUMP OUR TIME.
SO, LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU
AT 2:00 P.M.
ON FEBRUARY 19th.
WE WILL HAVE FOUR POTENTIAL
APPOINTEES FOR THE DOMESTIC
WORKER STANDARDS BOARD AND THEY
WILL INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND
TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES
BUT THEIR PACKETS HAVE NOT BEEN
FULLY PROCESSED SO WE WILL ONLY
HEAR FROM THE APPOINTEES WITH
THEIR VOTE COMING UP AT THE
POTENTIAL MARCH 3 COMMITTEE.
WE WILL ALSO HAVE A FINAL VOTE
ON THE CAPITAL PROJECT'S WATCH
LIST RESOLUTION.
WE DISCUSSED THIS AT THE
FEBRUARY 6 COMMITTEE MEETING.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO CAME
AND HAD GREAT SUGGESTIONS.
WE WILL BRING FORWARD THE
AMENDED RESOLUTION WITH YOUR
SUGGESTIONS AT OUR COMMITTEE
DISCUSSION.
AND, WE DID HAVE A DEADLINE AT
CLOSE OF BUSINESS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY FINAL
AMENDMENTS YOU ARE CONSIDERING
I WOULD LIKE THOSE DUE TO DAN
EATER AT NOON IF POSSIBLE.
IF FOLKS ARE STILL WORKING TON
AMENDMENTS.
SO THANKS TO CENTRAL STAFF AND
MY TEAM.
FINALLY, WE WILL HAVE A
DISCUSSION ON THE FUTURE OF
WORK WITH SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY
PARTNERS THAT WILL CLOSE UP OUR
COMMITTEE MEETING.
THAT DOES IT FOR TODAY.
>> REALLY?
THAT'S IT?
>> YEAH.
>> SHORT AND SWEET.
>> THANK YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.
I DO NOT HAVE ANY AMENDMENTS TO
ADD TO OUR CONVERSATION THIS
AFTERNOON.
I WANT FOLKS TO KNOW WE ARE
RESCHEDULING OUR COMMUNITY
ECONOMIC REDEVELOPMENT MEETING
UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
WE ARE WAITING ON SOME WORK FOR
ONE OF OUR DEPARTMENTS THAT WE
WILL RESCHEDULE THAT PROBABLY
UNTIL THURSDAY OR FRIDAY.
WE WILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS
THAT IS CONFIRMED.
WE HAVE A BOARD OF HEALTH
MEETING THIS WEEK.
SO, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
HEARING MORE ABOUT THE WORK YOU
ARE DOING AND WOULD LOVE TO
CARRY THAT FORWARD.
I WANT TO READ A STATEMENT
ABOUT A VISIT MY STAFF AND I
HAD LAST WEEK.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, WE
TOURED THE PATRICIA CLARK
FAMILY AND JUSTICE CENTER
SCHEDULED TO OPEN ODD.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NOT
KNOW ABOUT THIS, COMMUNITY
MEMBERS HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO
MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD SINCE
2012 WHEN THE LEVY PASSED
MISLEADINGLY SUGGESTED THE
FUNDS WOULD BE USED TO CREATE A
FAMILY AND JUSTICE CENTER.
I WALKED THROUGH THIS FACILITY
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AND I WAS
REMINDED THIS IS NOT A FAMILY
JUSTICE CENTER WITH THE
CONSEQUENCES THAT THESE
CHILDREN FACE, WE WILL BE
FORCED TO RECKON WITH THEM IF
WE DON'T COURSE CORRECT.
DESPITE THE NAME CHANGE,
DESPITE BIGGER COURTROOMS AND
UPDATED TECHNOLOGY, THIS IS
STILL A JAIL AND WE ARE CAGING
KIDS WHEN WE SHOULD BE
INVESTING THAT $242 MILLION
INTO THEIR EDUCATION AND
EMPLOYMENT AND INTO THEIR
FUTURE.
I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT
IN 2015, THE SEATTLE CITY
COUNCIL PASSED RESOLUTION 31614
WHICH "IS ENDORSING A VISION
FOR THE CITY OF SEATTLE TO
BECOME ZERO DETENTION FOR YOUTH
AND A PATH FORWARD FOR POLICIES
THAT ELIMINATE THE END OF YOUTH
DETENTION."
THEY HAVE CALLED TO INVEST THE
MONEY IN COMMUNITY BASED
PROGRAMS DOING PREVENTATIVE
WORK RATHER THAN PERPETRATING
THE TRAUMA OF A CRIMINAL LEGAL
SYSTEM UPON CHILDREN AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
PARTICULARLY FAMILIES OF COLOR.
NOW THAT IS JAIL IS BUILT,
AFTER SHUTTING OUT THE VOICES
OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, WE ARE
LEFT WITH A MASSIVE COMPOUND
THAT IS FUNDING MORE IN YOUTH
INCARCERATION THAN EDUCATION.
CONTRARY TO THE RHETORIC.
THIS IS NOT A JUSTICE SYSTEM,
IT IS A JAIL.
CAGING CHILDREN IS INHUMANE IN
OUR COUNTRY AS IT IS IN
DETENTION CENTERS SEPARATING
CHILDREN FROM THEIR FAMILIES IN
THE MOST PIVOTAL MOMENT OF
THEIR LIVES.
THIS IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH
THE VISION WE SET OUT AS A
CITY.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE THIS
CONVERSATION ON HOW THE CITY
AND COUNTY CAN INVEST
MEANINGFUL DOLLARS IN CHILDREN
FROM MARGINALIZED GROUPS TO
ACTUALLY MOVE TOWARD THE VISION
OF ZERO YOUTH DETENTION THAT
WAS PUT FORTH YEARS AGO.
THE NO NEW YOUTH JAIL COALITION
WILL BE HAVING A RALLY TODAY AT
4:30 AT BAILEY GATSERT
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AT 12th AND
YESLER TO DETERMINE IF THE JAIL
NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN IF THE
COUNTY WANTS TO
DISPROPORTIONATELY HARMING
BLACK, BROWN, AND NATIVE YOUTH.
I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO SHOW UP
FOR SOLIDARITY TO AMPLIFY THE
VOICES OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO
HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO MAKE THIS
CITY A MORE EQUITABLE PLACE FOR
PEOPLE OF COLOR.
>> THANK YOU COUNSELOR MORALES.
>> I'M DONE.
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS.
>> DAN STRAUSS, THERE ARE ZERO
ITEMS FROM THE LAND USE AND
NEIGHBORHOODS COMMITTEE ON THE
AGENDA.
ZERO ITEMS ON THE INTRODUCTION
AND REFERRAL.
I HAVE NO AMENDMENTS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON.
THE NEXT LAND USE AND
NEIGHBORHOODS COMMITTEE WILL BE
THIS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, NEXT
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26th.
FIVE ITEMS, THE VOTE ON
DIRECTOR TORGLSON AND THANK YOU
TO COUNCIL COLLEAGUES AND THE
PUBLIC FOR ALLOWING US TO MOVE
THIS REAPPOINTMENT TO THE
FOLLOWING MEETING TO ALLOW MORE
TIME FOR FOLKS TO WORK ON THE
TREE ORDINANCE.
THERE WILL BE TWO APPOINTMENTS
TO THE LANDMARKS PRESERVATION
BOARD AND TWO LANDMARKS
DESIGNATING ORDINANCES FOR UW'S
EAGLESON HALL AND THE SUNSET
TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH
EXCHANGE.
SOMETHING I USED THIS WEEKEND.
NO, I'M JOKING.
EVENTS AND OTHER NOTES, LAST
WEEK, I ATTENDED THE RECEPTION
WITH THE CIVIL RIGHTS MEMBERS.
MY STAFF ATTENDED THE BALLARD
MEETING WITH HAD AN INFORMATIVE
PRESENTATION ON THE USES OF NEW
WEBSTER ELEMENTARY.
AND I MET WITH THE PRESIDENT OF
THE BALLARD DISTRICT COUNCIL.
I ATTENDED THE EAST BALLARD
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION MEETING
WHICH WAS VERY PRODUCTIVE.
THAT GROUP IS ABLE TO BUILD
COMMUNITY AROUND REUTILIZING,
REPURPOSING OUR PUBLIC SPACES
TO BRIDGE AND BUILD COMMUNITY.
>> BALLARD IS AN EXCITING
PLACE.
>> IT IS NOW.
A LOT GOING ON IN BALLARD.
>> USED TO HAVE TO PULL TEETH
TO BRING PEOPLE TO BALLARD.
THIS WEEK, I WILL BE ON
THURSDAY, I'LL BE DOING A
WALKING TOUR OF SMALL
BUSINESSES IN THE GREEN LAKE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
HOSTING OFFICE HOURS THURSDAY
IN DISTRICT.
BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED
TO COME DOWNTOWN TO HAVE THEIR
VOICE HEARD BY CITY HALL.
I WILL BE WITH THE REGIONAL
TRANSIT COMMITTEE.
AND REFERRING TO COMMENTS ON
THE NORTHGATE PEDESTRIAN
BRIDGE, THIS IS VERY EXCITING
HAVING WORKED ON THIS SINCE
2014.
AGAIN, KUDOS TO SENATOR FROCK,
FORMER REPRESENTATIVE FARRELL
AND VALDEZ.
NORTH SEATTLE COLLEGE.
THIS COMING TOGETHER IS VERY
EXCITING.
SO, THAT IS ALL I HAVE.
THANK YOU COUNCIL COLLEAGUES.
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN.
>> GOOD MORNING, WE HAVE THE
CLIMATE CHANGE EDITIONS TO OUR
FISCAL NOTE I HAVE INTRODUCED
WITH RESOLUTION 31933.
THIS WOULD ADD TWO QUESTIONS
ABOUT CARBON EMISSIONS ASKING
THE CITY TO EXAMINE FUTURE
LEGISLATION THROUGH A CLIMATE
LENS.
I DO HAVE SOME AMENDMENTS TO
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT'S BILL.
BASED ON FEED BACK OF THE THE
COMMITTEE OF A WHOLE, TO HONOR
OUR NEW REGIONAL APPROACH.
THE TRANSPORTATION AND
UTILITY'S COMMITTEE.
NO ITEMS FROM THE TUCK
COMMITTEE.
HOWEVER, I WANT TO TELL YOU
ABOUT TOMORROW'S COMMITTEE
MEETING.
WE MEET ON THE FIRST AND THIRD
WEDNESDAYS OF EACH MONTH IN THE
MORNINGS.
9:30.
THIS WEDNESDAY.
TOMORROW, WE HAVE FOUR ITEMS ON
THE TRANSPORTATION UTILITIES
COMMITTEE AGENDA.
ONE OF THE ONES MENTIONED TODAY
ABOUT THE NORTH GATE PEDESTRIAN
AND BIKE BRIDGE.
AND WE HAVE PROPERTY AND GRANT
RELATED ITEMS PUT FORWARD BY
SDOT AND WE WILL VOTE ON A
RESOLUTION WITH SEATTLE CITY
LIGHTS ENERGY CONSERVATION
TARGET.
LAST WEEK, I ATTENDED THE KING
COUNTY TRANSPORTATION POLICY
BOARD WHERE I SUPPORTED FUNDING
FOR LARGE CITIES.
ALSO, TRIED TO PROTECT THE
FUNDING FOR THE PORT OF SEATTLE
AND SOUND TRANSIT.
BUSY WEEK IN DISTRICT 4 LAST
WEEK.
I ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY
DISTRICT COMMUNITY COUNCIL.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE ECONOMIC
DISPOLICEMENT PRESSURES FACING
SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES
AND MET WITH THE PUBLIC
BUILDING'S REFORM BOARD LAST
WEEK.
THIS IS THE STRANGE SMALL
ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THAT IS RECOMMENDING
SELLING THE ARCHIVES BUILDING
IN DISTRICT 4 WHICH I KNOW IS
IMPORTANT TO A LOT OF MY
COLLEAGUES HERE.
AND, I LET THEM KNOW VERY
FIRMLY THAT I DO NOT SUPPORT
THE SALE OF THIS.
I WAS VERY DISTURBED BY THEIR
LACK OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.
THEY HAD MET EARLIER THAT DAY
WITH SEVERAL TRIBAL LEADERS.
AND, WHO ALSO EXPRESS CONCERN
ABOUT THIS.
SO, I AM IN CONTACT WITH THE
OFFICE OF CONGRESSWOMAN PRAMILA
JAYAPAL AND THE OFFICE OF STATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL BOB FERGUSON
HOPING THEY CAN IMPEDE THE SALE
OR ENSURE THE RECORDS ARE KEPT
HERE IN THE NORTHWEST.
ALSO MET WITH SOME RESIDENTS
FROM WALLINGFORD AND THE U
DISTRICT ABOUT THE 45th STREET
BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS
WALLINGFORD AND THE U DISTRICT
WITH THE LIGHT RAIL OPENING UP
IN BROOKLYN AVENUE NEXT YEAR.
THERE'S A DESIRE TO HAVE IT
SAFER FOR PEDESTRIANS AND
CYCLISTS TO GET TO THE LIGHT
RAIL STATION.
I WANT TO THANK SOME COMMUNITY
LEADERS, CORY CROCKER, ERIC
FISK AND FOLKS AT THE BIKE HAPPY
CASCADIA.
WE HAD OUR OFFICE HOURS EVERY
AFTERNOON AT MAGNUSON PARK.
I ATTENDED THE ROLE CALL AT THE
NORTH PRECINCT.
I WANT TO THANK THE OFFICERS
THERE FOR LETTING ME TALK WITH
THEM BEFORE THEY WENT OUT TO
PROTECT AND SERVE AN THE HUGE
NORTH PRECINCT GEOGRAPHIC AREA.
THIS WEEK, I'LL BE ON THE RADIO
SHOW SPACE 101.1 F.M.
IN MADISON PARK.
JEAN GODDEN WILL BE GRILLING ME
ON THAT RADIO SHOW AND ALSO BE
TOURING THE NEW ROOSEVELT LIGHT
RAIL STATION THIS WEEK.
>> CANCELLUS.
>> THANK YOU MADAME PRESIDENT
PROTIM.
SO, THERE ARE NO ITEMS ON THE
INTRODUCTION REFERRAL CALENDAR.
THERE IS AN ITEM ON FOR FULL
COUNCIL ALLUDED TO IN THE
REMARKS BY MY COLLEAGUES, THAT
WOULD BE COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT'S
TRANSITIONAL ENCAMPMENT
ORDINANCE.
I DO INTEND TO HAVE FULL
COUNCIL VOTE ON THAT ORDINANCE
TODAY SO WE CAN MEET OUR
DEADLINE ON MAKING SURE.
THEY HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB
MAKING SURE FOLKS GET OFF THE
STREET.
AND PROACTIVELY ENGAGE WITH
SERVICES TO GET IN A PERMANENT
SUPPORT OF HOUSING.
I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THAT
CONVERSATION.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR
SUBMITTING THEIR AMENDMENTS IN
A TIMELY MANNER.
IF ANYONE WANTS TO USE SOME
LAST MINUTE REVIEWING.
FREEMAN WROTE OUT A MEMO
SUMMARIZING THE AMENDMENTS AND
LAYING THEM OUT.
I ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO REVIEW
THAT PRIOR TO THE MEETING THIS
AFTERNOON.
WE WILL FLAG I'M PUTTING
FORWARD A COUPLE OF AMENDMENTS
MYSELF.
MOSTLY DEALING WITH RESOLVING
THE LEFT ON SECURITY AND
CASEWORK QUESTIONS FROM LAST
WEEK'S DISCUSSION.
I BELIEVE THAT COUNCILMEMBER
PEDERSEN HAS SOME ON THAT AS
WELL.
WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THE
QUESTIONS ARE ANSWER AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO OUR DELIBERATIONS ON
THAT THIS AFTERNOON.
I AM HAPPY TO MAKE MYSELF
AVAILABLE IF FOLKS WANT TO
TALK.
AND LOOK FORWARD TO FINALLY
CONSIDERING THIS.
AND HOPEFULLY GETTING SOMETHING
REALLY GOOD PASSED THIS
AFTERNOON.
LAST WEEK IN DISTRICT 7, WE HAD
OUR THIRD IN DISTRICT OFFICE
HOURS SESSION.
WE HELD OFFICE HOURS IN UPTOWN,
BELLTOWN.
AND THE QUEEN ANNE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
ONE OF THE DOMINANT THEMES FROM
LAST THURSDAY WAS TRAFFIC
CALMING ON TENTH AVENUE WEST
AND QUEEN ANNE.
A CONSTITUENT RELAYED THAT THEY
HAD WITNESSED THE 13-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTER OF THEIR NEIGHBOR BE
HIT BY A VEHICLE AT 10th AND
HOWELL RESULTING IN HER LEG
BEING BROKEN.
SHE IS FULLY RECOVERED BUT THAT
COULD HAVE BEEN FAR MORE
SERIOUS.
ANOTHER CONSTITUENT RELAYED TO
ME IN THE PAST, A CAR SPEEDING
DOWN 10th AVENUE WEST HAD
FLIPPED OVER INTO THEIR FRONT
YARD.
IN ADDITION TO OTHER REALLY
SERIOUS ACCIDENTS ON 10th
AVENUE WEST, THERE'S PREVIOUSLY
BEEN A TRAFFIC STUDY THAT SDOT
CONDUCTED.
A 30 MILES AN HOUR ZONE.
THE HIGHEST SPEED CLOCKED THERE
WAS 67 MILES AN HOUR.
THIS IS A REALLY SERIOUS
CONCERN FOR ME.
IT HAS BEEN RAISED BY MANY
CONSTITUENTS NOT YET ORGANIZED
TOGETHER.
I HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT MAYBE
THEY COULD BE AND I'M HAPPY TO
HELP FACILITATE THAT TO AGITATE
AND ORGANIZE FOR SOME ACTION ON
TRAFFIC CALMING.
I RAISED THESE CONCERNS WITH
SDOT MULTIPLE TIMES AND LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUEING TO DO SO
SINCE THERE IS A VERY STEADY
DRUM BEAT OF CONCERN ON THIS
PARTICULAR ARTERIAL.
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A BIG
ISSUE FOR ME.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY FURTHER
INJURIES TO PEDESTRIANS OR
BICYCLISTS IN THAT CORRIDOR OR
ANY CORRIDOR IN THE CITY AND
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THE
CONVERSATION AS WE ALL STRIVE
TO REACH VISION ZERO IN THE
CITY.
MORE BROADLY, WE HAVE BEEN
ADVERTISING OUR OFFICE HOURS
THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORMS AND OUR WEEKLY
NEWSLETTER.
THROUGH GOOGLE ADS AS WELL,
WORKING WITH JOSEPH P. ON
CENTRAL STAFF TO TRY TO BOOST
THE CIRCULATION OF OUR OFFICE
HOURS.
I CAN REPORT THAT ACTUALLY
SEEMS TO HAVE RESULTED IN A LOT
OF ADDITIONAL SIGNUPS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SHOWING UP
AND WE DON'T HAVE GAPS IN THE
SIGNUPS FOR APPOINTMENTS.
PEOPLE COMING WHO HAVE NEVER
TRIED TO MEET WITH THEIR
COUNCILMEMBER BEFORE AND DIDN'T
KNOW HOW HOW OR HOW IT WOULD
LEAD TO ANYTHING OR GET THEIR
ISSUES IN FRONT OF SOMEONE WHO
COULD SHARE THEIR STORIES WITH
MY COLLEAGUES AND WITH THE
DEPARTMENTS OF THE CITY.
THAT HAS BEEN A GREAT
EXPERIENCE.
FOR THOSE WATCHING AT HOME,
THIS WEEK'S SESSION FOR OFFICE
HOURS WILL BE IN THE SOUTH LAKE
UNION NEIGHBORHOOD.
AT THE CASCADE PEOPLE CENTER AT
309 PONTIUS AVENUE NORTH.
I LOOK FORWARD FOR PEOPLE
TURNING UP TO SEE THE ISSUES
GOING ON IN SOUTH LAKE UNION.
I WILL BE VISITING THE
NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL TOMORROW
NIGHT, A NEIGHBORHOOD WITHIN
THE SOUTH LAKE UNION
NEIGHBORHOOD ON FEBRUARY 19th.
THIS WILL BE MY FOURTH
COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEETING SINCE
TAKING OFFICE.
IT WILL BE THE SIXTH FOR MY
OFFICE SINCE MY DIRECTOR HAS
ALWAYS VISITED THE QUEEN ANNE
AND WEST EDGE COUNCILS DURING
NIGHTS WHERE I HAD CONFLICTS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO ATTENDING
THOSE COMMUNITY COUNCIL THIS
MONTH OR PERHAPS NEXT MONTH.
JUST MAKING SURE WE CONTINUE TO
COMMUNICATE WE WANT TO BE A
RESOURCE AND A PARTNER TO OUR
NEIGHBORS ALL OVER THE
DISTRICT.
>> ARE YOU DONE?
>> NO.
SORRY, YES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF POINTS TO
MAKE.
FIRST OF ALL, YOU DO NOT KNOW
HOW HAPPY IT MAKES ME TO HEAR
PEOPLE TAKING ON, THOSE OF US
REPRESENTING DISTRICTS, THAT WE
HAVE DISTRICT OFFICES AND HOURS
AND DIRECTORS.
AS COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD KNOWS,
PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BULK
AND WE WOULDN'T ALL BE WORKING
TOGETHER BUT AGAINST EACH OTHER
BUT I THINK IT IS THE OPPOSITE.
I THINK WE ALL KNOW WE
REPRESENT THE CITY OF SEATTLE
BUT HONOR THE NEEDS OF OUR
DISTRICT.
IT IS NOT JUST THE GLOBAL,
REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL ISSUES.
BUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH
DENSITY?
POTHOLES?
BECAUSE WE PHYSICALLY LIVE
THERE.
I AM A BIG CHEER LEADER OF THAT
AS YOU ALL KNOW.
CANCELLUS, COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS.
I WANT TO ASK YOU IF WE CAN
TALK OFFLINE, BUT I WANT TO GET
INTO A FEW PHONE CALLS FOR THE
VIEWING PUBLIC.
ARE ANY OF THESE AMENDMENTS
DEALT WITH SPECIFICALLY IN
COMMITTEE?
OR IN ANY WAY?
>> YES.
SO --
>> IF YOU COULD FLAG THOSE FOR
ME AND SOME OTHER FOLKS SO WE
KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO REVISIT?
>> THE AMENDMENTS DEALING WITH
SECURITY AND CASEWORK HAD BEEN
DISCUSSED IN COMMITTEE.
THERE HAD BEEN SOME POTENTIAL
ISSUES RAISED THAT THOSE
AMENDMENTS DID NOT MEET THE
PRACTICES OF THE CURRENT
SERVICE PROVIDERS OR EXACTLY
THE LANGUAGE OF THE HUMAN
SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
SO, WE NEEDED TO SPEND ANOTHER
WEEK TO GRAPPLE MORE TO MAKE
SURE WE WEREN'T BEING TOO
PRESCRIPTIVE ADDING ANOTHER
REQUIREMENT BEYOND WHAT HSD
REQUIRES.
SO WE DELAYED THAT
CONVERSATION.
IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE OTHER
ONES, MOST OF THE AMENDMENTS
JUST CLEAN UP A COUPLE OF
ISSUES.
ONE OF THE AMENDMENTS I'M
PROPOSING IS TO ADD MODULAR
BUILDINGS TO THE DEFINITION OF
THE KIND OF STRUCTURES THAT CAN
GO IN A TRANSITIONAL
ENCAMPMENT.
THAT WASN'T NECESSARILY
EXPLICIT.
OR ISN'T NECESSARILY EXPLICIT
IN THE ORDINANCE AS IT STANDS.
AND, IT WAS PARTICULARLY
CONCERNING TO CENTRAL STAFF
GIVEN THAT CHIEF SEATTLE CLUB
IS RECENTLY OPENED A VERY WELL
DESIGNED MODULAR SHELTER AND
WANTED TO MAKE SURE ENCAMPMENTS
LIKE THAT COULD BE INCLUDED.
COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN HAS
INTRODUCED A COUPLE OF
AMENDMENTS.
I WOULD RATHER HAVE HIM SPEAK
TO.
THE SUBSTITUTE BILL UNDER
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT'S NAME IS
BASICALLY JUST UPDATING THE
ORDINANCE TO 2020 BECAUSE THE
OLD ORDINANCE HAD A SIGNATURE
LINE FOR 2019 AND FORMATTED AS
IF IT WAS AN ORDINANCE IN 2019
SO THAT JUST CLEANS THAT UP AND
UPDATE IT IS FORMATTING.
CENTRAL STAFF HAD OFFERED TO
PUT THE SUBSTITUTE UNDER MY
NAME.
IT IS UNDER COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT AS AN AMENDMENT THOUGH I
TOTALLY CONCUR IN IT.
HER SUBSTITUTE BILL?
>> IN HER SUBSTITUTE BILL.
YES.
>> SO, I'M JUST LETTING
EVERYONE KNOW NOW, THAT WE HAVE
NINE AMENDMENTS TO GET THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON.
I ASK ALL OF YOU BE PREPARED TO
SPEAK TO EACH AMENDMENT AND WE
MOVE THROUGH IT AND HAVE SOME
GOOD CIVIL DISCUSSION THAT IS
ROBUST, BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
THAT WE ARE RESPECTFUL OF EACH
OTHER'S OPINIONS.
SOMETIMES IT GETS A LITTLE
HEATED BUT THAT'S OKAY AS LONG
AS WE ARE KIND AND RESPECTFUL.
WE HAVE NINE AMENDMENTS ANDLY
NOT BE HERE UNTIL 5:00 OR 4:00.
WE WILL GO THROUGH THEM.
SO, WITH THAT, COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD WHO HAS BEEN SMILING AT
ME THE WHOLE TIME.
>> I'M CONFIDENT WE WILL GET IT
DONE.
AND GET OUT OF HERE BY 5:00
WITH YOUR EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP.
>> I HAVE MY LUCKY RUTH
GINSBERG SHIRT ON TODAY.
>> I HAVE TWO ITEMS ON THE FULL
COUNCIL AGENDA.
WE WILL GO THROUGH THEM
QUICKLY.
ONE IS A NEW APPOINTMENT TO THE
COMMUNITY POLICE COMMISSION.
AND, THE OTHER IS A
REAPPOINTMENT.
COLLEEN IS THE REAPPOINTMENT.
AND THE MAYOR IS A T APPOINTING
AUTHORITY.
THOSE ARE THE ONLY ITEMS I HAVE
ON FULL COUNCIL TODAY.
I DO NOT HAVE A PUBLIC SAFETY
MEETING THIS WEEK THOUGH I HAVE
ONE NEXT TUESDAY AT 9:30.
AND THEN, JUST A COUPLE OF
LETTERS I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GONZALEZ HAS
ASKED I ON HER BEHALF
DISTRIBUTE A LETTER FOR
SIGNATURE.
THIS IS A PIECE OF LEGISLATION
IN SUPPORT OF A BILL BEFORE THE
STATE LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE BILL 2567.
SENATE BILL 2522.
COURTS FOR ALL BILL.
AND IT PROTECTS ALL PEOPLE FROM
WARRANTLESS CIVIL IMMIGRATION.
PROHIBITS COURT STAFF AND
PROSECUTORS FROM USING STATE
AND LOCAL RESOURCES TO REPORT
PEOPLE FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION
ENFORCEMENT AND REQUIRES COURTS
TO COLLECT DATA ON IMMIGRATION
AGENTS SURVEILLANCE OF
COURTHOUSES IN WASHINGTON.
THESE MEASURES BUILD COMMUNITY
TRUST IN LOCAL COURTS.
PROHIBIT IMMIGRATION AGENTS
FROM INTERFERING IN LOCAL COURT
FUNCTIONING AND PRESERVE ACCESS
TO OUR COURTS FOR EVERYONE.
IN BOTH RURAL AND URBAN AREAS
ACROSS WASHINGTON, COURTHOUSE
HAVES BECOME FRONT LINES IN
IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.
CIVIL ARESTS AT WASHINGTON
COURTHOUSES PARTICULARLY
IMMIGRATION ARRESTS HAVE
CREATED A CLIMATE OF FEAR THAT
IS DETERRING AND PREVENTING
WASHINGTON RESIDENTS FROM
SAFELY INTERACTING WITH THE
JUSTICE SYSTEM.
SINCE JANUARY 2018, THERE HAVE
BEEN OVER 200 DOCUMENTED CIVIL
ARRESTS OF IMMIGRANTS AT
COURTHOUSES IN 18 COUNTIES
ACROSS WASHINGTON.
NEARLY 1 MILLION
WASHINGTONIANS, ONE IN SEVEN
PEOPLE ARE IMMIGRANTS.
IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
ARE BEING DETERRED FROM
APPEARING IN STATE COURTS BY AN
AGGRESSIVE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION
FORCE OFTEN ACTING IN PLAIN
CLOTHES.
SPREADING FEAR IN IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES BY SITTING IN COURT
AND ARRESTING PEOPLE IN AND
AROUND COURTHOUSES.
THIS BILL WILL PROTECT ACCESS
TO COURTS FOR EVERY
WASHINGTONIAN AND HINDERING THE
JUSTICE SYSTEM.
THIS LETTER WAS DISTRIBUTED ON
FRIDAY FOR FOLKS TO PROVIDE
INPUT.
I WILL DISTRIBUTE IT NOW.
I HAVE ANOTHER LETTER I WILL
NOT DISTRIBUTE NOW, BUT INTEND
TO DO AT 2:00 P.M.
AT FULL COUNCIL.
THIS IS A LETTER YOU RECEIVED I
BELIEVE ON SATURDAY.
THIS WEEKEND.
ACTUALLY, I TAKE IT BACK.
IT WAS ON SUNDAY.
AND, THIS IS A LETTER REGARDING
THE ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS
BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE.
AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
ASSISTED DIVERSE PROGRAM FOR
FUNDING.
THE LETTER ITSELF IS A FOLLOW-
UP LETTER TO THE LETTER THAT
THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND HUMAN
SERVICES COMMITTEE SENT IN
FEBRUARY.
WE STARTED OFF AS A LETTER FROM
THE COMMITTEE WITH OVERSIGHT OF
THE LEAD PROGRAM TO THE
EXECUTIVE.
BECAUSE THERE REMAINS A
TROUBLING STALEMATE, THIS
LETTER IS FROM THE FULL
COUNCIL.
IFS FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
HSD'S CONVERSATION WITH A
CONTRACTING APPROACH THAT WILL
ALLOW LEAD TO CONTINUE FUNDING.
AND AS BACKGROUND, THE COUNCIL
ALLOCATED AND THE MAYOR SIGNED
A 2020 BUDGET THAT INCLUDED NEW
DOLLARS FOR LEAD SO THAT THEY
CANNOT ONLY RIGHT SIZE THEIR
CASE LOAD, THEY COULD DEAL WITH
A BACKLOG, BUT ALSO EXPAND THE
PROGRAM AS SO MANY STAKE
HOLDERS IN OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE
ASKED FOR THE PROGRAM TO BE
EXPANDED.
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN HSD AND
LEAD AGAIN ARE REPORTEDLY AT AN
IMPASSE.
WE HAD RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM
OUR COMMITTEE LETTER.
THE LETTER FROM THE PUBLIC
SAFETY AND HUMAN SERVICES
COMMITTEE A COUPLE OF WEEKS
AGO.
I THINK IT WAS FEBRUARY 27th.
AND, IT WAS ACTUALLY FELT LIKE
WE WERE MOVING IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
AND, THAT LETTER HAD PROPOSED
RELEASING FUNDING IN A PHASE
ONE ALLOCATION.
A PHASE ONE CONTRACT FUNDING
SUFFICIENT TO BOTH RIGHT SIZE
THEIR CASE LOAD.
ADDRESS THE BACKLOG.
BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, IT WOULD
NOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE ON ANY
NEW REFERRALS.
NEW REFERRALS IS WHAT MAKES
LEAD SUCH AN IMPORTANT PROGRAM
FOR THE COMMITTEES.
SOCIAL ARREST REFERRALS FROM
SPD AND SOCIAL CONTACT
REFERRALS FROM OUR BUSINESS
DISTRICT STAKE HOLIERS.
WITHOUT THE ABILITY FOR THE
PROGRAM TO CONTINUE TO TAKE ON
THOSE TYPES OF EMERGING PUBLIC
SAFETY ISSUES, LEAD IS NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO FUNCTION AS
IT IS INTENDED TO FUNCTION
WHICH IS AGAIN A PUBLIC SAFETY
PROGRAM INTENDED TO ADDRESS
EMERGING ISSUES.
THEY CANNOT DEAL WITH THEIR
EXISTING CASE LOAD AND A
BACKLOG OF SOCIAL CONTACT
REFERRALS AND NOT BE ABLE TO
ALSO ADDRESS THE EMERGING
PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES THAT OUR
COMMUNITYS ARE IDENTIFYING.
SO THE LETTER ITSELF PROPOSES
ANOTHER SLIGHT MODIFICATION ON
THE SUGGESTION FROM THE
EXECUTIVE IN THE TEST, FEBRUARY
27.
IT ASKS THE EXECUTIVE CONSIDER
A PROPOSAL THAT DOES ALL THE
THINGS THAT THE EARLIER MEMO
SUGGESTED.
ADDRESSED THE BACKLOG.
RIGHT SIZED THE CASE LOAD.
SUFFICIENT DOLLARS TO ALLOW FOR
EXPANSION OF LEAD TO ADDRESS
THESE PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS.
I'M HOPING THAT OUR EFFORTS TO
BOTH REASONABLY ADDRESS WHAT
OUR COMMUNITIES ARE INSISTING
THAT WE TAKE ACTION IN
ADDRESSING, COUPLED WITH A
RECOGNITION OF THE EXECUTIVES,
REASONABLE DESIRE TO CONTINUE
NEGOTIATIONS WITH LEAD AROUND
PERFORMANCE MATRIX.
THAT THIS WILL BE RECEIVED IN
THE SPIRIT OF COMPROMISE.
AND, RESPONSIBILITY FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY THAT I THINK IS SO AGAIN
SO CRITICAL TO OUR COMMUNITIES
THAT WE ALL REPRESENT.
SO, I WILL HAVE THAT AT 2:00.
AND HAPPY TO CONSIDER ANY
AMENDMENTS TO THE LETTER Y'ALL
RECEIVED ON SUNDAY.
>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD.
THE DRAFT STATED FEBRUARY 18th
WE GOT, CORRECT?
THAT'S THE LETTER YOU ARE
TALKING ABOUT?
WE GOT A PACKET, DEAR MAYOR
DURKAN, FEBRUARY 18, 2020.
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
SOUNDS LIKE WE MIGHT NEED TO
CHANGE THE DATE.
BUT YES.
THAT'S THE ONE.
AND THE LAST THING I HAVE IS I
JUST WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT AN UPCOMING MEETING I
HAVE IN DISTRICT ON FRIDAY THAT
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.
IT IS A MEETING WITH THE
PRINCIPLES OF DENNY AND SELF.
SOME PSTA LEADERSHIP THERE.
AND, FOLKS LIKE THE SEATTLE
NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP, THE SEATTLE
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THE CITY AUDITOR'S OFFICE.
THE DEPARTMENT OF
NEIGHBORHOODS.
AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE
TEAM LIFE CENTER ACROSS THE
STREET AT SOUTHWEST.
THIS IS THAT TUCK ABOUT TRYING
TO APPLY A MODEL THAT HAS BEEN
VERY SUCCESSFUL AT RAINIER
BEACH.
AND MODEL IT IN SOUTH DALE
RIDGE.
I REQUESTED THAT THE DEPARTMENT
NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE SAFE AND
HEALTHY COMMUNITY SUB CABINET
OF THE MAYOR REPORT BACK TO
COUNCIL BY APRIL 3 ON NEXT
STEPS AND FUNDING NEEDED.
AND, THIS UPCOMING MEETING WE
HAVE IS A STEP TOWARD THAT.
AND, I'M EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO
WORK WITH LEADERS IN MY
COMMUNITY TO REPLICATE
EVIDENCED INFORMED STRATEGIES
TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS SOME OF
THE PLACE BASED CAUSES OF YOUTH
VICTIMIZATION.
AND CRIME AT HOT SPOT
LOCATIONS.
USING POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL
INTERVENTION, SUPPORT, SAFE
PASSAGE ACTIVITIES.
AND YOUTH AND NEIGHBORHOOD
ENGAGEMENT.
THAT'S IT FOR ME.
>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD.
