BY POLICE AND TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
ALL THIS FOR POSSIBLY ENGAGING
IN GRAFFITI.
SPD CANNOT SPECULATE ON CASES

DUE TO A SUBSTANCE ADJUSTED
PRIOR TO POLICE CONTACT.
LESS THAN 48 HOURS AFTER THIS
INCIDENT AND WHILE CAL WAS
STILL UNCONSCIOUS IN THE
HOSPITAL, COUNCILMAN LEWIS HAD
AN AFTERTHOUGHT AT THE VERY END
OF THE MEETING AND HE SPENT AS
MUCH TIME SPEAKING ON THIS
ISSUE AS TO AN OFF LEASH DOG
PARK.
IN COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS 'S
STATEMENTS, HE CLAIMED THE
MISSTEPS WERE SIMPLY TO ADD TO
BEING DO TO UNDER STRESS.
JUST THIS LAST SATURDAY, WE
MEMORIALIZED THE COLLAPSE OF
THE BRIDGE. I'M SURE THE
BUILDERS OF THAT BRIDGE ALSO
SAID FAILURE WAS SIMPLY DUE TO
BEING UNDER STRESS.
THIS IS A SHAMEFUL EXCUSE. THIS
IS A STATEMENT ABOUT REVIEWING
THE FOOTAGE FROM WEDNESDAY
NIGHT THAT THIS WAS WORTHY OF
AN INVESTIGATION.
AGAIN, TOTAL FAILURE TO OUR
SYSTEM.
WE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD THIS.
WE NEED TRUE POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY AND COMMUNITY
OVERSIGHT.
THANK YOU.
>> OKAY, NEXT UP IS MARI DELANEY

JENSEN.
>> HELLO.
MY NAME IS MARI DELANEY,
DISTRICT 3 AND I AM ALSO
CALLING IN RELATIONS TO THE
LACK OF -- Y'ALL ARE SUPER QUICK
TO JUMP ON SOMEBODY FOR -- WELL
DON'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT
THE CONTINUED BRUTALITY AGAINST
PROTESTERS.
I ASK THAT Y'ALL PLEASE -- I
WONDER IF THIS ACTUALLY WORKED.
I HIT STAR SIX.
>> YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.
>> ANYWAY, Y'ALL REALLY SHOULD
SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE
CONTINUED BRUTALITY AGAINST
PROTESTERS FROM CRACKING BLACK
WOMEN'S SKULLS OPEN TO PUTTING
PROTESTERS IN THE HOSPITALS
WITH BROKEN KNEES WHO ARE THEN
DISAPPEARED FOR DAYS ON END AND
HONORABLE TO CONTACT THEIR
RELATIVES.
WHEN ARE Y'ALL GOING TO DO
OMETHING ABOUT THIS?
THANK YOU.
>> OKAY, COLLEAGUES.
NEXT WE HAVE THREE SPEAKERS
THAT ARE ACTUALLY USING THE
SAME NUMBER. THAT IS ANGELA
JENSEN, CAROL LINA LONZA, AND
JIMMY PEÑA. IF YOU ARE
ALTOGETHER, WE CAN JUST SORT OF
TAKE YOU AS A GROUP. IS ANGELA

>> CAROLINA. I WILL BE GOING
FIRST.
>> HOW ABOUT WE INCREASE THE
TIME HERE TO FIVE MINUTES TO
ACTUALLY MAKE THAT SIX MINUTES.
OH, FIVE IS FINE.
>> YES, MA'AM.
OKAY, GOOD AFTERNOON.
MY NAME IS CAROLINA LONZA. I AM
A CASE MANAGER FOR THE SEATTLE
OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
PROGRAM.
WE ARE HERE AT THIS MEETING
BECAUSE WE WOULD LIKE THE
SEATTLE INDIAN CENTER TO HAVE A
LARGER BUILDING.
WE HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO HALF OF
THE SPACE BEFORE OUR FOREVER
HOME WAS TAKEN IN 2014.
WE ARE PART OF AND SERVE THE
COMMUNITY SO A LARGER BUILDING
WOULD MEAN WE COULD BETTER
SERVE OUR CLIENTS.
WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE
INCLUDED IN THE OUTREACH AND
RESPONSE TEAM.
OUR AGENCY HAS BEEN DOING
OUTREACH FOR YEARS, WORKING
CLOSELY WITH THE NAVIGATION
TEAMS ESPECIALLY DURING THIS
PANDEMIC, WHICH HAS BEEN SO
DIFFICULT FOR EVERYONE
ESPECIALLY THE UN-SHELTERED
POPULATION.
WE MANAGED TO STAY OPEN DURING
THIS NEW, HARSH REALITY WHILE
SOME OTHER AGENCIES HAD TO
CLOSE LEAVING THESE PEOPLE
WITHOUT PLACES TO GO.
DUE TO SAFETY PROTOCOLS FOR
CLIENTS AND STAFF, WE HAD TO
TAKE PRECAUTIONS FOR SOCIAL
DISTANCING, MAKING THE SMALL
SPACE WE HAVE EVEN SMALLER.
WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR HELP. WE
NEED A LARGER SITE SO WE CAN
BETTER SERVE THESE VULNERABLE
PEOPLE.
THANK YOU.
ANGELA JENSEN.
>> HI, GOOD AFTERNOON.
I AM A SEATTLE INDIAN CENTER
COORDINATOR AND I JUST WANTED
TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY.
WE HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE SINCE
1958.
IN 1988, SEATTLE INDIAN CENTER
MOVED TO WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE OUR FOREVER HOME. IN 2014,
WE LOST OUR FOREVER HOME WHICH
HAD OVER 12,000 SQUARE FEET. WE
HAVE NEVER CLOSE OUR DOORS AND
HAVE REMAINED OPEN DURING THIS
PANDEMIC.
WE ARE CURRENTLY RENTING A 6000
SQUARE FOOT FACILITY THAT IS
TOO SMALL FOR US.
WE HAVE NO ROOM OR SPACE TO
GROW OR WORK WITH NEW GRANTS.
LAST YEAR WE PROVIDED OVER
130,000 UNITS OF SERVICE WITH
29,000 OF THAT DUPLICATED AND
WE HAD 26.63% ASIAN AMERICAN,
24.88% AFRICAN-AMERICAN OR
AFRICAN, 19.6% WERE HISPANIC OR
LATINO, 15.13% WERE CAUCASIAN,
7.45% WERE AMERICAN INDIAN,
ALASKA NATIVE.
5.59% WERE NATIVE, HAWAIIAN, OR
PACIFIC ISLANDER.
WE ARE AND WE DO SEE THE BY POP
COMMUNITY AND WE NEED HELP
GETTING THE NEW FACILITY THAT
CAN FIT OUR GROWING NEEDS AND
THE NEEDS OF OUR CLIENTS.
THANK YOU.
>> MR. PENA IS A CLIENT. ONE
MOMENT, PLEASE.
>> HELLO, FOLKS.
AS A CLIENT I AM SPEAKING ON
BEHALF OF OF THE INDIAN CENTER.
IT HAS BEEN A BIG HELP TO ME.
BECAUSE OF THEM, I HAVE AN
APARTMENT NOW.
THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY HELPFUL
WITH HOT MEALS, CLOTHING,
HYGIENE, AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THEY
ARE REALLY HELPFUL.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, JIMMY,
ANGELA, AND CAROLINA.
THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN AS A
GROUP AND BEING FLEXIBLE WITH
THE TIME.
OKAY.
>>> WE WILL GO AHEAD AND GO TO
THE NEXT CALLER.
THE NEXT CALLER IS JOE PUZZLER.
>> AND EVERYONE HEAR ME OKAY?
>> WE CAN HEAR YOU.
GO AHEAD.
>> HELLO.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
YEAH, LISTEN, I HAVE BEEN
HEARING, YOU KNOW, ON TWITTER
AND THERE HAS BEEN SOME
HARASSMENT OF JOURNALISTS
AGAIN.
YOU KNOW, APPARENTLY THERE HAS
BEEN ASSAULT ON A KIRO 7
JOURNALIST. I CALL ON THE
SEATTLE COUNCIL TO DO MORE TO
PROTECT JOURNALIST . I USED TO
BE ONE.
I ALSO AM ON FRIENDLY TERMS
WITH SOME OF THE SEATTLE PRESS
GALLERY AND I JUST WANT TO VERY
RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT THE
SEATTLE COUNCIL PRIORITIZE
POLICE PROTECTION FOR
JOURNALISTS AND, YOU KNOW, AS
PART OF HOW YOU REIMAGINE LAW
ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
WITHOUT A FREE PRESS, WE DON'T
HAVE A DEMOCRACY.
YES, I THANK GOD THAT DONALD
WILL NO LONGER BE PRESIDET
EARLY NEXT YEAR, JUST AS I
THANK GOD WE WILL HAVE A
VACCINE EARLY NEXT YEAR.
LET'S HOPE WE BUILD A BETTER
COMMENT OUT OF THIS AND WITH
THAT FINALLY I WANT TO ASK THE
SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL TO PLEASE
LOBBY AND FIGHT HARD FOR MORE
REMOTE TESTIMONY. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO HAVE DIVERSE
VOICES HEARD AND NOT JUST WHITE
MALE DUDES, BUT ALL PEOPLE AND
HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE MORE OF

GONZALEZ.

COMMISSION; MAKING TEMPORARY
PROVISIONS FOR THE 2020
ELECTIONS; AMENDING SECTIONS
4.04.250 AND 4.08.040 OF THE
SEATTLE MUNICIPAL CODE; AND
RATIFYING AND CONFIRMING
CERTAIN PRIOR ACT.
>> FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE
COMMISSION, IT IS NONEXEMPT
EMPLOYEES THAT DO NOT WORK FOR
THE MAYOR OR COUNCIL OR CIVIL
SERVICE COMMISSION STAFF.
BOTH ENTITIES OR HAVING
ELECTIONS THIS YEAR AND THINGS
ARE SLIGHTLY DELAYED BY COVID-19
. THIS LEGISLATION ALLOWS THE
CITY CLERK TO HOLD THE
ELECTIONS IN DECEMBER RATHER
THAN NOVEMBER. IT ALLOWS FOR
ELECTRONIC BALLOTS RATHER THAN
ONLY PHYSICAL BALLOTS.
THOUGH THE OPTION OF PAPER
BALLOTS WILL STILL REMAIN.
THIS SCHEDULE CHANGES ONLY FOR
2020 AND THESE ELEMENTS ARE
ONLY INCLUDED IN THE ORDINANCE,
NOT THE SEATTLE MUNICIPAL CODE.
THERE ARE SOME MUNICIPAL CODE
CHANGES AND THAT IS ONLY
RELATED TO ELIMINATING OUTDATED
LANGUAGE IN THE MUNICIPAL CODE

MODERNIZE THE ELECTION PROCESS
BY RULE IN THE FUTURE.

KNOW BUT DURING COUNCIL
BREATHING THIS MORNING WE
TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS
PARTICULAR COUNCIL BILL.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD FOR
CLARIFYING.
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT TO
THE PUBLIC THE FISCAL NOTE SAYS
THIS LEGISLATION HAS CONTINGENT
LANGUAGE TO COVER THAT THE
PUBLIC SAFETY CIVIL SERVICE
COMMISSION IS BECAUSE OF THE
ACCOUNTABILITY ORDINANCE FROM
2017 INTENDED NOT TO HAVE ANY
ELECTED MEMBERS IN THE FUTURE
SO THAT THIS LEAVES OPEN THE
POSSIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT THAT
PROVISION OF THE 2017
ACCOUNTABILITY POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY ORDINANCE, WHICH
I KNOW SEVERAL MEMBERS ON THIS
COUNCIL WERE CHAMPIONS OF THAT
AND AUTHORS OF THAT.
BY PASSING THIS ORDINANCE WE
ARE IN NO WAY SIGNALING ANY
SORT OF DEVIATION FROM OUR
COMMITMENT TO IMPLEMENT THE
REST OF THAT ACCOUNTABILITY
ORDINANCE, WHICH ACTUALLY
EXCLUDED EMPLOYEES FROM THIS
COMMISSION. THANK YOU FOR
CLEARING THAT THIS MORNING.
