12:23 ↗ here well again thank you for uh uh

12:26 ↗ having me out here to talk to you today

12:27 ↗ about um washing 's land use framework

12:30 ↗ the growth management act um I'm Dave

12:33 ↗ Anderson I'm with the Department of

12:35 ↗ Commerce we're the part of the uh I'm

12:38 ↗ with the growth Management Services

12:40 ↗ office which is the part of the agency

12:41 ↗ that works with uh local governments

12:43 ↗ like yours on um managing growth and

12:46 ↗ infrastructure and housing uh and all

12:48 ↗ those good things so uh I'm going to

12:50 ↗ start today by talking a little bit

12:53 ↗ about why why you would have a plan uh

12:56 ↗ every business from um the largest

12:59 ↗ business down to someone just starting

13:01 ↗ out a a restaurant has has a plan um

13:04 ↗ communities throughout the United States

13:06 ↗ uh both in rapidly growing States like

13:08 ↗ Washington and in smaller more rural

13:10 ↗ States they all have plans so why why

13:12 ↗ would you want to have a plan well I

13:13 ↗ would propose that there are there are a

13:15 ↗ few reasons why why you'd want to have a

13:17 ↗ plan um the first one is that land use

13:20 ↗ decisions have long-term and largely

13:23 ↗ permanent consequences uh for the shape

13:25 ↗ and character of a community so you want

13:27 ↗ to get it right um I'm always reminded

13:30 ↗ of uh uh Dances with Wolves I don't know

13:32 ↗ if you ever ever saw that movie but

13:34 ↗ there's one particular scene that struck

13:35 ↗ me is um there's a there's a buffalo

13:38 ↗ that's charging down um a young Brave

13:41 ↗ who's in in the middle of of a buffalo

13:43 ↗ hunt and he he needs to stop the buffalo

13:46 ↗ very quickly so what does he

13:48 ↗ do he aims because he's got one shot if

13:52 ↗ you've got one shot you aim so uh part

13:58 ↗ of the plan is about making sure that

14:00 ↗ you make decisions carefully um also

14:03 ↗ many individuals have to work together

14:06 ↗ uh and a plan is a way to coordinate it

14:08 ↗ um it's also a way of accomplish

14:09 ↗ something where you have to make

14:11 ↗ persistent effort over a long period of

14:13 ↗ time uh infrastructure projects Waters

14:16 ↗ sewers roads they have long lead times

14:18 ↗ and long payback periods uh they have

14:21 ↗ life uh uh lifespans 40 years or more so

14:25 ↗ um you need to make sure they're done

14:26 ↗ right and lastly most importantly I

14:28 ↗ think um the public expects transparency

14:32 ↗ and fairness when there's a decision

14:34 ↗ made about what investments the city is

14:36 ↗ going to make uh where different land

14:39 ↗ uses are going to go the public needs to

14:41 ↗ know why uh what's the reason why these

14:44 ↗ things are done um if you're going to

14:46 ↗ establish a critical area buffer and

14:48 ↗ it's going to be uh 100 feet instead of

14:52 ↗ 50 feet why um planning and the planning

14:55 ↗ process is about supplying that answer

14:58 ↗ to a large L degree and making sure that

15:00 ↗ you can tie those decisions back both to

15:03 ↗ relevant facts and to values that the

15:06 ↗ communities articulated and that's what

15:07 ↗ the planning process

15:09 ↗ does so every uh every state in the

15:12 ↗ Union has a land use framework um land

15:15 ↗ use in America is largely governed by

15:17 ↗ state laws so uh every state has to

15:20 ↗ figure out uh for itself and establish

15:23 ↗ through its own laws how we are going to

15:25 ↗ go about doing planning and every every

15:27 ↗ state has a framework that's a little

15:29 ↗ bit different uh some of them were quite

15:31 ↗ intentional others they've sort of

15:32 ↗ wandered into but you you've got one uh

15:35 ↗ in every state uh and and these are some

15:37 ↗ of the things that I would propose make

15:39 ↗ a good land use framework okay the first

15:41 ↗ one is that the public has a voice in

15:44 ↗ decisions uh this goes all the way back

15:47 ↗ to the Progressive Era uh goes through

15:49 ↗ the public open public meetings act

15:51 ↗ through the public disclosure act uh but

15:53 ↗ there's an opportunity for people to

15:54 ↗ come and say their peace and when the

15:56 ↗ public is making an important public

15:58 ↗ decision with public consequences people

16:00 ↗ expect uh to be able to say something uh

16:03 ↗ again that decisions are based on

16:05 ↗ relevant facts uh they're made in public

16:07 ↗ based on valid public concerns uh but

16:10 ↗ some other things is when you make a

16:12 ↗ decision it stays made uh and you're not

16:15 ↗ constantly going back and re revisiting

16:17 ↗ those decisions uh but at the same time

16:20 ↗ you've also got a process that favors

16:22 ↗ adaptive Behavior so when conditions

16:24 ↗ change and new information comes about

16:26 ↗ you have a way to incorporate that into

16:28 ↗ the process so these are all some of the

16:30 ↗ things that go into establishing what is

16:32 ↗ a state what is a what is a good

16:34 ↗ framework for how we plan in a state so

16:38 ↗ uh I want to talk in particular about

16:40 ↗ two very specific expectations and I'm

16:42 ↗ sure I'm sure to all of you who've been

16:45 ↗ uh working around planning and Housing

16:46 ↗ and Development issues in communities

16:48 ↗ have probably heard both of these things

16:50 ↗ the first one I need to know what I can

16:53 ↗ do just tell me what I need to do to

16:56 ↗ pull my permit um and the second one

16:59 ↗ this affects my neighborhood and my home

17:01 ↗ and I should have a say in what happens

17:03 ↗ uh it's really this inherent tension

17:05 ↗ between a very deliberative process um

17:09 ↗ and one that is certain and predictable

17:13 ↗ and has clear timelines and the public

17:16 ↗ has an expectation for both and every

17:18 ↗ land use framework in America and every

17:21 ↗ state has to find some way to resolve

17:23 ↗ these and we we have arrived at a

17:25 ↗ particular compromise on these in

17:28 ↗ Washington and has to do with planning

17:30 ↗ decisions and Zoning decisions so when

17:33 ↗ you're talking about a planning decision

17:36 ↗ the comprehensive plan the adoption of

17:38 ↗ the comprehensive plan there's a very

17:40 ↗ heavy emphasis in Washington on a

17:43 ↗ continuous deliberative process with

17:47 ↗ lots of opportunities for public comment

17:50 ↗ um and lots of opportunities to be

17:52 ↗ involved very heavy emphasis on that

17:55 ↗ when you're talking about the

17:56 ↗ comprehensive plan in Washington now

17:58 ↗ once the comp comprehensive plan is

17:59 ↗ adopted in Washington there is a very

18:02 ↗ heavy emphasis when you get to

18:04 ↗ individual project permit decisions on

18:08 ↗ certainty and predictability so once

18:10 ↗ you've made that decision a deal is a

18:13 ↗ deal it stays made when you get to the

18:15 ↗ permit counter things move very quickly

18:17 ↗ so if you look at pieces of Washington

18:19 ↗ law like how are appeals of

18:21 ↗ comprehensive plans governed versus how

18:23 ↗ appeals of individual project decisions

18:26 ↗ are governed you see those sorts of

18:28 ↗ different is very very sharp dichotomy

18:30 ↗ between those two things so that's the

18:32 ↗ way sea applies to these two things

18:34 ↗ operates the same way so there again

18:37 ↗ that's a particular way that Washington

18:39 ↗ has addressed this um it's designed to

18:41 ↗ have very heavy emphasis up front on

18:43 ↗ participation but then once that's done

18:46 ↗ and once you're down in the project

18:47 ↗ permit level uh things are designed to

18:49 ↗ go very quickly and very

18:51 ↗ predictably so here's Washington's

18:53 ↗ framework and when we talk about the

18:55 ↗ growth management act uh it's there's

18:58 ↗ there's a particular piece of Statute

19:00 ↗ 367a um that is called the growth

19:03 ↗ management act but the growth management

19:05 ↗ act really works within a larger

19:07 ↗ framework um that also includes all the

19:10 ↗ statutes governing cities and counties

19:11 ↗ in title 35 and 36 the local project

19:14 ↗ review act which governs those

19:16 ↗ permitting processes that I just talked

19:18 ↗ about the shoreline management act that

19:20 ↗ governs acts around shorelines the State

19:22 ↗ Environmental Policy Act um statutes

19:25 ↗ governing how we charge impact fees

19:27 ↗ statutes governing water and water

19:29 ↗ availability uh subdivision Regional

19:32 ↗ planning those all of these are part of

19:35 ↗ Washington's framework and they all

19:37 ↗ exist within uh a larger uh um a larger

19:41 ↗ umbrella of other kinds of laws that

19:44 ↗ affect how local governments work how do

19:46 ↗ taxes work how do special purpose

19:48 ↗ districts operate how does annexation

19:50 ↗ procedures work those also sort of form

19:53 ↗ um the thing that we work in when we're

19:55 ↗ implementing a comprehensive plan and of

19:57 ↗ course those all uh fall within uh both

20:00 ↗ the Washington State and the national

20:02 ↗ Constitution so when when people are

20:05 ↗ talking about the growth management act

20:08 ↗ at one level they're talking about this

20:10 ↗ very specific statute 367a that was

20:13 ↗ adopted at this very specific point in

20:15 ↗ time back in the early 90s but really

20:17 ↗ what you're talking about in a large

20:20 ↗ degree is you're talking about this

20:21 ↗ larger framework and uh the GMA since it

20:24 ↗ was adopted has since come to mean not

20:28 ↗ only that one statute but it really

20:30 ↗ means this whole set of laws that we

20:33 ↗ work with governing all of these

20:35 ↗ different things and when you're talking

20:37 ↗ about both issues in planning both

20:39 ↗ problems and solutions both of those are

20:42 ↗ sometimes found in one particular

20:44 ↗ section that we think of as the GMA and

20:46 ↗ sometimes they're found within the way

20:48 ↗ they work within this larger

20:50 ↗ framework so how do we get here well

20:53 ↗ this was what our framework looked like

20:55 ↗ before uh the GMA was passed in the

20:57 ↗ 1990s okay um plans were there uh they

21:01 ↗ were largely advisory they were very

21:03 ↗ aspirational they weren't terribly

21:05 ↗ constrained by resources uh and they

21:07 ↗ didn't have a whole lot of teeth in and

21:09 ↗ of themselves the big decisions were

21:12 ↗ made at the permit counter the zoning

21:15 ↗ decisions and the rezone decisions uh

21:17 ↗ the things that were done on individual

21:19 ↗ project permit applications they didn't

21:21 ↗ have necessarily have to be connected

21:23 ↗ with the comprehensive plan they were

21:25 ↗ really kind of done on their own um and

21:28 ↗ they were done in silos so your Capital

21:30 ↗ facilities plan was not necessarily done

21:33 ↗ in conjunction with the zoning um so you

21:35 ↗ could go One Direction with your zoning

21:37 ↗ another Direction with your Capital

21:39 ↗ facilities plans and they were there was

21:40 ↗ a lot of Silo a lot of Silo governance

21:44 ↗ um the sepa decisions with all the

21:46 ↗ hearings uh those were done on

21:48 ↗ individual permits individual projects

21:51 ↗ so if you had a large subdivision coming

21:53 ↗ in that was largely a discretionary

21:55 ↗ decision uh which means you'd have uh a

21:58 ↗ lot of people showing up at a hearing to

22:00 ↗ talk about that particular subdivision

22:02 ↗ uh one of the things we found is once

22:05 ↗ that subdivision uh was approved or not

22:07 ↗ approved you'd have the same

22:09 ↗ conversation all over again the next

22:12 ↗ time a subdivision came through and then

22:14 ↗ the next time the subdivision came

22:15 ↗ through and then the next time the

22:17 ↗ subdivision came through and we were

22:18 ↗ finding that there were lots of

22:20 ↗ arguments that never had a way to get

22:23 ↗ resolved uh in a way that helped

22:25 ↗ communities move forward so um here's

22:28 ↗ sort of one of the pieces of the

22:31 ↗ creation myth of the GMA was uh the

22:33 ↗ faved trip uh up I5 by uh the speaker of

22:37 ↗ the house at the time a guy named Joe

22:38 ↗ King uh and this this is how he

22:40 ↗ describes it um but the real take-home

22:42 ↗ for him was looking around at the

22:44 ↗ traffic and the development occurring

22:46 ↗ and asking well who's really in charge

22:48 ↗ who who's who's looking at all of this

22:51 ↗ and realizing that there really wasn't

22:52 ↗ anybody who was looking at all of this

22:54 ↗ and and so the growth management Act was

22:56 ↗ born uh in large part as a way to help

23:00 ↗ find a way to resolve these conflicts

23:03 ↗ that couldn't be resolved any other way

23:05 ↗ um so we created the GMA that we have

23:08 ↗ and I'm going to talk about uh a few

23:10 ↗ different pieces of it I'm going to talk

23:12 ↗ about uh what I like to call the

23:14 ↗ differentiated landscape a term I got

23:16 ↗ from a mentor of mine named Joe Tovar uh

23:19 ↗ I'm going to talk about the goals of GMA

23:21 ↗ I'm going to talk about requirements and

23:23 ↗ I'm going to talk about roles and

23:25 ↗ procedures and when you think of roles

23:26 ↗ and procedures uh one of the things I

23:29 ↗ want you to listen for and think about

23:31 ↗ is the information flows that's a very

23:34 ↗ important part of how public decision

23:36 ↗ making gets made how does information

23:39 ↗ flow from one organization to another

23:42 ↗ and how does information flow from one

23:44 ↗ set of decisions to another so when I've

23:46 ↗ made this set of decisions how does that

23:49 ↗ feed into uh and constrain or support

23:52 ↗ the next set of decisions my community

23:54 ↗ has to make so it all works together

23:56 ↗ that's what I mean by information flow

23:58 ↗ so um and the GMA uh the GMA establishes

24:02 ↗ different kinds of land that local

24:04 ↗ governments uh are responsible for

24:06 ↗ designating uh and then it says the law

24:09 ↗ is going to apply differently to these

24:11 ↗ different types of land so kind of like

24:13 ↗ you've got commercial and Industrial and

24:15 ↗ residential land at the city level uh at

24:18 ↗ the statutory level it says we're we're

24:21 ↗ going to establish different types of or

24:23 ↗ we're going to make a framework that has

24:25 ↗ different types of land and then local

24:27 ↗ governments are going to determine

24:28 ↗ exactly where those apply within their

24:30 ↗ community so you start with resource

24:32 ↗ lands uh agricultural forest and mineral

24:35 ↗ resource lands counties are obligated to

24:37 ↗ designate these and then they're

24:40 ↗ obligated to assure their conservation

24:42 ↗ so that these lands that have been set

24:44 ↗ aside for resource production can

24:46 ↗ continue to be used uh over the long

24:48 ↗ term for resource production um they

24:51 ↗ established Urban lands cities towns

24:53 ↗ Incorporated areas and unincorporated

24:56 ↗ areas called Urban growth areas these

24:58 ↗ are the areas where most of the growth

25:00 ↗ is going to go because it's it's got to

25:02 ↗ go somewhere so uh EST placing it in

25:05 ↗ urban areas assures that it's affordable

25:08 ↗ to provide adequate public facilities to

25:10 ↗ those areas and then rural lands uh the

25:14 ↗ lands that are outside of the urban

25:15 ↗ growth areas that are not going to get

25:17 ↗ Urban governmental Services uh but you

25:19 ↗ still have to plan for those uh and you

25:21 ↗ still have to establish at the county

25:23 ↗ level uh what kind of regulations and

25:26 ↗ what kind of densities are going to be

25:27 ↗ in place in order to ensure that uh

25:31 ↗ those lands can continue to persist uh

25:34 ↗ economically viability as economically

25:37 ↗ viable rural lands and that they

25:38 ↗ continue to maintain uh their rural

25:41 ↗ character in terms of look and feel and

25:44 ↗ their capacity to uh um provide

25:47 ↗ services so Urban natural resources and

25:51 ↗ Rural

25:53 ↗ lands so the GMA establishes goals uh

25:57 ↗ and one of the things you'll look these

25:58 ↗ are these are all the goals of the

25:59 ↗ growth management act there's 14 of them

26:01 ↗ um one of the things you may notice when

26:03 ↗ you look at them is first there's a lot

26:05 ↗ of them um and

26:08 ↗ secondly if you read them carefully you

26:10 ↗ can see how these can exist in tension

26:13 ↗ uh and how you can have situations where

26:16 ↗ uh really going for one goal looks like

26:19 ↗ it may be in conflict with another goal

26:20 ↗ so how does how does that work well uh

26:24 ↗ the statute says that local governments

26:26 ↗ are with their planning doc doents uh

26:29 ↗ responsible for harmonizing these goals

26:32 ↗ and finding a locally appropriate

26:34 ↗ balance um which sounds uh sounds like a

26:37 ↗ very challenging thing um what that

26:40 ↗ basically gums down to uh in the statute

26:43 ↗ is um there needs to be some weight to

26:46 ↗ all of them um but you can't use the

26:50 ↗ goals as a pretext for violating the

26:52 ↗ clear core substi of mandates when when

26:54 ↗ push comes to shove what we're finding

26:56 ↗ is you can't really be found out of

26:58 ↗ compliance on a goal challenge alone uh

27:01 ↗ as long as you're meeting the basic

27:02 ↗ requirements you really have a

27:03 ↗ tremendous amount of flexibility uh in

27:06 ↗ terms of how you implement the goals and

27:08 ↗ what kind of balance you give to the

27:09 ↗ goals uh and what kind of weight you

27:11 ↗ give to the goals in any particular

27:13 ↗ planning decision and it's also not

27:15 ↗ possible that you establish one perfect

27:17 ↗ balance that applies across everything

27:20 ↗ um but generally within the plan these

27:22 ↗ are the things you're generally uh uh

27:25 ↗ working for so the next thing is the

27:27 ↗ core Subs mandates um these are the

27:30 ↗ requirements you'll find in law the

27:31 ↗ things you have to do when you're

27:33 ↗ balancing the goals you don't balance

27:34 ↗ them against the core substantive

27:36 ↗ mandate so you've got to protect

27:38 ↗ critical areas um you've got to

27:40 ↗ designate and assure the conservation of

27:42 ↗ resource lands um New Growth needs to go

27:46 ↗ to Urban growth areas um you need to

27:48 ↗ provide sufficient capacity of land

27:51 ↗ suitable for development that's uh

27:53 ↗ that's the little 115 part on Urban

27:55 ↗ growth areas what that basically boils

27:57 ↗ down to is uh if you're saying in your

27:59 ↗ plan that this is the density and this

28:01 ↗ is that we expect to accommodate here

28:03 ↗ when you actually go into your

28:04 ↗ regulations you need to be actually to

28:05 ↗ be able to pull a permit for the density

28:07 ↗ you've said you're going to allow um a

28:10 ↗ lot of it it's a lot of it is a no

28:12 ↗ surprises requirement um new development

28:15 ↗ may not be allowed unless you've got

28:17 ↗ concurrency uh adequate public

28:19 ↗ facilities uh you can't preclude

28:21 ↗ essential public facilities and cities

28:23 ↗ and Counties have to provide for early

28:25 ↗ and continuous participation um those

28:28 ↗ are these are the basic core subsid of

28:30 ↗ mandates now within that um there's a

28:33 ↗ lot of regional variation and one of the

28:35 ↗ questions is well what laws apply to

28:37 ↗ which jurisdictions and although there's

28:39 ↗ largely two buckets in the state fully

28:42 ↗ planning and not fully planning when you

28:43 ↗ look at all the requirements in the

28:45 ↗ statute you can really think I think

28:47 ↗ pick out uh these four different

28:50 ↗ classifications you've got the really uh

28:52 ↗ slow growing uh counties in the rural

28:55 ↗ parts of the state I I happen to be from

28:56 ↗ Spokane so uh a lot of my neighbors are

28:59 ↗ out in this area uh you've got to

29:00 ↗ protect critical areas conserve resource

29:03 ↗ lands and you've also got the same

29:05 ↗ requirements from some of the other

29:06 ↗ pieces of the planning framework they've

29:08 ↗ got to do sea just like a big County

29:10 ↗ does they've got a they're following the

29:12 ↗ subdivision act the same way the

29:14 ↗ planning enabling act the same way um

29:16 ↗ then you've got most of the other

29:18 ↗ counties in the State uh uh about 20 24

29:21 ↗ I think of them they're the fully

29:23 ↗ planning ones they've got a set Urban

29:25 ↗ growth areas and such uh in addition to

29:27 ↗ that you've got Clark and thirston which

29:29 ↗ are fully planning jurisdictions but

29:31 ↗ they also have to do what we call the

29:33 ↗ buildable lands program uh which is an

29:35 ↗ ongoing monitoring program that all the

29:38 ↗ big Metro Counties have to do it's where

29:40 ↗ you have to on an ongoing basis look at

29:43 ↗ how much growth is occurring uh looking

29:45 ↗ at how much capacity you have uh and

29:47 ↗ assuring that you're continuing uh to

29:50 ↗ have the amount of capacity in your

29:52 ↗ community it's kind of like that

29:54 ↗ sufficient land capacity one only

29:56 ↗ there's a requirement for periodic and

29:57 ↗ ongoing reporting Clark and thirston

29:59 ↗ have to do that as well um in addition

30:02 ↗ to that you've got the central Puget

30:03 ↗ Town counties they're also buildable

30:05 ↗ lands counties but in addition to that

30:08 ↗ um they also have multi-county planning

30:10 ↗ policies uh that are established through

30:12 ↗ uh the pett sound Regional Council and

30:14 ↗ that's a responsibility for the the

30:16 ↗ central pett sound counties as well so

30:18 ↗ these are sort of the the regional

30:19 ↗ variation and as you can see uh as you

30:22 ↗ would expect in a state it flows from

30:24 ↗ the relatively sparsely populated

30:26 ↗ jurisdictions without a lot of capacity

30:28 ↗ and without a lot of growth who have a

30:30 ↗ relatively small set of requirements all

30:32 ↗ the way up to the very large High

30:34 ↗ growing Metro jurisdictions uh that have

30:36 ↗ to plan uh with a lot more rigor and

30:38 ↗ that's sort of how uh that's how the GMA

30:41 ↗ is set up uh so now I want to talk about

30:44 ↗ roles how am I doing on time Fred you've

30:47 ↗ got uh you've got about seven minutes

30:49 ↗ left okay all right so I'm going to talk

30:51 ↗ about roles and procedures and this is

30:53 ↗ the information flows thing um one of

30:55 ↗ the things you see is you see the

30:56 ↗ comprehensive plan uh and then you've

30:59 ↗ got the capital facilities development

31:01 ↗ regulations flowing in next so once

31:03 ↗ you've adopted that plan the next step

31:05 ↗ is then the comprehensive plan decisions

31:08 ↗ uh in terms of capital Investments and

31:10 ↗ the adoption of development regulations

31:12 ↗ then flow from that comprehensive plan

31:15 ↗ uh it's not siloed uh but they're both

31:17 ↗ tools to implement it the comprehensive

31:19 ↗ plan and then the kinds of projects that

31:21 ↗ people build on the ground um most of

31:24 ↗ the decisions that affect your community

31:25 ↗ are actually the decisions that made

31:27 ↗ about what kind of building do I build

31:29 ↗ um what's feasible to build um where am

31:32 ↗ I going to make my investments those

31:33 ↗ kinds of decisions that the private

31:35 ↗ sector made those are the project

31:37 ↗ development decisions and those are

31:38 ↗ largely governed by um what the zoning

31:41 ↗ and compr what the zoning and the

31:42 ↗ development regulations allow and also

31:45 ↗ what kind of capital facilities uh

31:47 ↗ you've constructed that are able to

31:49 ↗ support that um and those decisions then

31:52 ↗ are what govern project

31:54 ↗ development so if you've ever looked at

31:56 ↗ a comprehensive plan this is sort of

31:57 ↗ what it looks like you've got all these

31:59 ↗ different elements that are required the

32:01 ↗ land use element the housing element Etc

32:03 ↗ and then if you actually dig into those

32:06 ↗ elements what do you find well you find

32:07 ↗ there's goals and policies that sort of

32:09 ↗ establish what the community hopes to

32:12 ↗ achieve what are we hoping to get out of

32:13 ↗ it what are we want to be um then you'll

32:16 ↗ find a collection of relevant facts okay

32:19 ↗ inventories of things like land use how

32:22 ↗ much commercial land do we have how much

32:24 ↗ commercial land have has the market been

32:26 ↗ absorbing over the last 20 years uh how

32:29 ↗ much do we think we'll need to

32:31 ↗ accommodate the rest of it what kind of

32:33 ↗ Revenue can we expect from the types of

32:36 ↗ Revenue sources we have available to us

32:38 ↗ today these are what you'd find in an

32:40 ↗ inventory and Analysis that sort of

32:42 ↗ Define what are the things that are

32:45 ↗ going to constrain our decisions and

32:47 ↗ what are the likely consequences of our

32:49 ↗ decisions and and then what you find

32:51 ↗ next is strategies and commitments so

32:53 ↗ what are we trying to achieve what do we

32:54 ↗ have to work with and then okay now what

32:56 ↗ are we going to do uh what strategies

32:58 ↗ are we going to be make what kind of

33:00 ↗ implementation tools are we going to use

33:02 ↗ that's generally how uh how the planning

33:05 ↗ process flows and that's what you'll

33:07 ↗ find in a typical comprehensive plan so

33:11 ↗ uh coordination is the act of uh

33:14 ↗ maintaining consistency both with within

33:16 ↗ your jurisdiction assuming that assuring

33:18 ↗ that there's not silos and also with

33:20 ↗ adjacent jurisdiction so uh I mentioned

33:22 ↗ the multi-county planning policies

33:24 ↗ there's also these things called

33:25 ↗ countywide planning policies that are

33:27 ↗ adoped at the county level um these are

33:30 ↗ the things that are going to govern how

33:31 ↗ do we ensure consistency between

33:33 ↗ jurisdictions so the decisions that one

33:36 ↗ organization make does not thwart the

33:37 ↗ decisions that the other organizations

33:39 ↗ make that's really the defining

33:41 ↗ characteristic of consistency um and

33:44 ↗ these are the things that are

33:45 ↗ established the multi-county and the

33:47 ↗ countywide planning policies sort of

33:48 ↗ establish that framework and the GMA is

33:52 ↗ an evolving framework um every year

33:54 ↗ there are little bitty amendments to the

33:56 ↗ GMA um courts have continued to

33:59 ↗ interpret the GMA and uh every year we

34:01 ↗ continue to work through this but um

34:04 ↗ over the grand scheme of things Mary

34:05 ↗ Margaret hgan is one of the of the um

34:08 ↗ one of the legislator that was

34:09 ↗ originally around when the GMA was

34:11 ↗ adopted and she's still around uh and

34:13 ↗ she talks about uh sort of what she sees

34:15 ↗ as one of the one of the Hallmarks of

34:18 ↗ the way we're doing things and the main

34:19 ↗ one is she says that people are just

34:21 ↗ talking to each other about these things

34:23 ↗ they're not done in silos anymore and

34:24 ↗ that that's uh what she sees is the

34:26 ↗ greatest accomplish M so um with that uh

34:31 ↗ uh thank you very much for having me out

34:33 ↗ if if you're interested in knowing more

34:34 ↗ about this uh or those of you in the

34:37 ↗ audience who have a have a real uh a

34:39 ↗ real interest in in this I would

34:40 ↗ encourage you to come to one of our

34:42 ↗ short courses we we offer a a planning

34:46 ↗ we offer a training program that's

34:47 ↗ basically a boot camp for new planning

34:49 ↗ Commissioners uh but it's open to the

34:51 ↗ public uh and we're delighted to have uh

34:54 ↗ anyone who'd like to come uh and hear

34:55 ↗ more about this we' we'd sure love to

34:57 ↗ have you a short course so uh with that

35:00 ↗ um thank you for your time thank you uh

35:03 ↗ are there any questions at this

35:05 ↗ time seeing none then da actually have a

35:09 ↗ question oh thanks sorry um thanks for

35:11 ↗ the presentation that was very helpful

35:14 ↗ um I'm not that familiar with all the

35:16 ↗ details in the growth management act but

35:18 ↗ I was interested in the part you talked

35:19 ↗ about not working in silos and um my

35:23 ↗ basic understanding is that the cities

35:25 ↗ do plan within their own boundaries and

35:27 ↗ take into account concurrency but

35:30 ↗ between two cities how do we ensure that

35:33 ↗ those pieces of the transportation

35:35 ↗ Network that connect us are also

35:37 ↗ tracking along the same with

35:39 ↗ growth well the main re the main ways

35:42 ↗ that's done uh in in King County and a

35:45 ↗ lot of counties is there's a a regional

35:47 ↗ arterial Network that sort of

35:49 ↗ establishes off of the big major State

35:51 ↗ highways there's another Regional

35:53 ↗ arterial Network and the levels of

35:55 ↗ service you sat the amount of

35:57 ↗ expectation

35:58 ↗ the amount what kind of expectations you

36:00 ↗ have for the performance of that system

36:02 ↗ and the forecasts about how much traffic

36:04 ↗ is going to occur on those systems um

36:07 ↗ that those occur both at the local level

36:09 ↗ and also at the regional level so

36:10 ↗ there's uh fairly regular meetings of

36:13 ↗ the Public Works staff uh and of the

36:15 ↗ planning staffs in the jurisdictions to

36:17 ↗ try to work these issues out uh when

36:19 ↗ you're looking at the regional arterial

36:20 ↗ netwk guess the followup question would

36:22 ↗ be then in the act itself if growth is

36:25 ↗ occurring within designated are areas

36:28 ↗ and the connectors the highways and

36:32 ↗ arterials between them is there if they

36:35 ↗ fail is there a check in Balance to

36:39 ↗ meter growth or to take take a step

36:42 ↗ backwards or take a pause or or what do

36:44 ↗ we do when those connecting roads

36:46 ↗ fail well that's that's a good question

36:49 ↗ uh and that's really the heart of one of

36:51 ↗ the requirements uh that we mentioned in

36:53 ↗ here the requirements of concurrency

36:55 ↗ which is that you establish a level of

36:57 ↗ service which is sort of what you're

36:59 ↗ going what the what your target is going

37:01 ↗ to be for that facility and then when

37:02 ↗ you're developing your plan the plan is

37:05 ↗ designed to assure that you know what

37:08 ↗ kinds of facilities and services are

37:10 ↗ necessary uh to meet the demand for

37:12 ↗ those facilities and that's the

37:13 ↗ concurrency that occurs at the plan

37:15 ↗ level and then at the individual project

37:18 ↗ development level there's a mechanism

37:20 ↗ that you have called a concurrency

37:21 ↗ management system that identifies how

37:24 ↗ much impact is going to be occurring by

37:26 ↗ the developments and then um making sure

37:29 ↗ that they they pay their fair share into

37:31 ↗ it and that you're monitoring that

37:33 ↗ performance of that system over time

37:34 ↗ guess my last part to that is then does

37:36 ↗ the state and County also follow

37:38 ↗ concurrency on their network of Roads

37:41 ↗ there's uh there's an exemption for

37:45 ↗ State highways highways have statewide

37:47 ↗ significance um where they they still do

37:50 ↗ planning they still set level of service

37:53 ↗ um they still loc look at local traffic

37:55 ↗ needs but there is not this obl ation on

37:58 ↗ the part of local governments that you

38:00 ↗ deny development if there's uh if

38:03 ↗ there's a problem on the larger State

38:05 ↗ system so if I if I90 is grinding to a

38:08 ↗ halt there's not an obligation that you

38:10 ↗ have to stop development everywhere uh

38:12 ↗ in isqua and some Amish until I uh until

38:15 ↗ the state fixes that because it's a

38:17 ↗ state facility um local governments

38:20 ↗ really don't have uh uh enough

38:22 ↗ wherewithal to go and plan for that

38:23 ↗ system entirely on their own so um

38:26 ↗ holding up the development in any one

38:28 ↗ jurisdiction for something that's a

38:29 ↗ large Statewide problem uh wasn't wasn't

38:33 ↗ the system the legislature uh

38:35 ↗ contemplated when it adopted the State

38:36 ↗ Transportation facility requirements

38:39 ↗ that

38:40 ↗ help cont

38:42 ↗ compl other questions or

38:45 ↗ comments seeing none then Dave thank you

38:49 ↗ very very much uh for that tutorial I

38:51 ↗ appreciate that very very much and uh

38:54 ↗ rest assured that this is not the only

38:57 ↗ audience

38:58 ↗ that will see this uh we rebroadcast our

39:02 ↗ uh our Council meetings uh on our

39:04 ↗ government access Channel 21 so if you

39:07 ↗ want to see how well you did tune in

39:10 ↗ thank you thank you very much going to

39:14 ↗ uh uh adjust the uh agenda just a little

39:20 ↗ bit before two other special business

39:23 ↗ items and move now to uh audience

39:26 ↗ comments

39:28 ↗ and so uh

39:31 ↗ uh citizen comments are an important

39:33 ↗ part of the public process we take them

39:35 ↗ seriously and Factor them into the

39:37 ↗ decisions we make anyone from the public

39:40 ↗ who wishes to comment will have the

39:42 ↗ opportunity to do so please direct your

39:45 ↗ comments to the whole Council and not

39:47 ↗ individuals while this is not a question

39:50 ↗ and answer session we will contact you

39:52 ↗ to follow up if needed if you did not

39:54 ↗ have an opportunity in to include your

39:57 ↗ email address on the signin sheet you

40:03 ↗ clipboard which will be placed on the

40:05 ↗ tables in front of me recognize uh

40:09 ↗ please use the lectron speak into the

40:11 ↗ microphone state your name address and

40:13 ↗ relationship to the city limit your

40:15 ↗ comments to five minutes you have

40:18 ↗ written comments please submit those to

40:20 ↗ the city clerk so uh we have do we have

40:24 ↗ the timer okay uh a visual timer has

40:28 ↗ been placed on the lect and when it

40:30 ↗ turns yellow you are within the last

40:31 ↗ minute of your comment period if you use

40:34 ↗ the full five minutes the timer will

40:36 ↗ sound to indicate the end of your

40:38 ↗ allotted time and so with that uh again

40:42 ↗ citizen comments written in verbal are

40:45 ↗ an important aspect of the public

40:46 ↗ process we take them seriously and we

40:49 ↗ thank members of the public for taking

40:51 ↗ the time to address US during our

40:53 ↗ meetings and so has anyone signed up to

40:56 ↗ speak this evening yes Bob

41:03 ↗ Powers good evening my name is Bob power

41:06 ↗ uh 165 Northeast Juniper Street sweet

41:09 ↗ 100 isqua and I'm here representing

41:12 ↗ secon LLC Gilman Point self storage and

41:16 ↗ isqua Studio loss and current status of

41:19 ↗ where we are right now the city is

41:21 ↗ issued us a permit and we're under

41:22 ↗ construction for a self- storage project

41:25 ↗ we have an AS DP permit for the front

41:29 ↗ lot which would allow us to build about

41:31 ↗ 11,000 ft uh retail uh

41:35 ↗ Superstore and as a condition of that

41:37 ↗ permit we are required to construct a

41:39 ↗ curb into Gilman Boulevard that would uh

41:44 ↗ prohibit right hand leftand turns in and

41:46 ↗ out uh to the businesses located to the

41:50 ↗ north of Gilman North on Gilman from

41:53 ↗ from basically pagas to uh the Shel

41:57 ↗ station and we've requested a

42:00 ↗ development agreement we we've requested

42:02 ↗ to partner with the city on a

42:03 ↗ development agreement that would allow

42:05 ↗ us to continue to move forward with the

42:08 ↗ studio Loft project in Li of the tire

42:10 ↗ store and we're proposing to do a

42:13 ↗ voluntary Improvement to Gilman that

42:16 ↗ would relocate the signal that's

42:18 ↗ currently at the three Trails Crossing

42:21 ↗ and put it uh basically to line up with

42:24 ↗ juniper and Market on Gilman and create

42:27 ↗ a fully signalized interchange we think

42:30 ↗ the benefit to the city in doing this is

42:32 ↗ that it will uh ass solve an

42:35 ↗ increasingly dangerous pedestrian and

42:37 ↗ bicycle problem where people tend to cut

42:39 ↗ across uh Gilman rather than going up to

42:42 ↗ the signal uh it solves a problem for

42:44 ↗ all the business owners located on the

42:46 ↗ north side of Gilman between our project

42:49 ↗ and the Shell station essentially if

42:51 ↗ this project goes in with the c curb as

42:54 ↗ presently planned then then all these

42:57 ↗ businesses are going to be forced to

42:58 ↗ have their uh have all their clients uh

43:02 ↗ go West on Gilman to try and make a

43:05 ↗ U-turn and come back or what I think

43:07 ↗ would be the the worst outcome would be

43:08 ↗ to try to cut through the shell parking

43:10 ↗ lot and make a left-hand turn across

43:12 ↗ Front Street to to get back to I90 uh we

43:15 ↗ think our project solves both of these

43:17 ↗ issues uh and uh it it also avoids some

43:22 ↗ of I think some of the misconceptions

43:23 ↗ that came out of the signal that got put

43:25 ↗ in at at Atlas and restricting

43:27 ↗ uh growth for or fully signalized access

43:30 ↗ to to all the businesses we think the

43:33 ↗ benefit of moving ahead with this

43:35 ↗ project is a development agreement uh in

43:38 ↗ light of the moratorium and effect is

43:39 ↗ that we are I think honoring all the

43:42 ↗ items that have been raised uh in the

43:44 ↗ moratorium as issues that have created

43:46 ↗ problems for the city we're talking

43:48 ↗ about a mixed use project that has no

43:51 ↗ residential uh it provides all

43:53 ↗ structured parking it provides for a

43:55 ↗ strong pedestrian link to the to Gilman

43:58 ↗ and to the trail system and it has

44:01 ↗ already been architecturally vetted

44:04 ↗ through the the planning department in

44:06 ↗ advance of the moratorium taking effect

44:08 ↗ uh timing for us has become a real issue

44:12 ↗ uh we are in the position now in the

44:14 ↗ first quarter of next year having to

44:16 ↗ construct the significant improvements

44:18 ↗ on Gilman we have to rebuild the water

44:21 ↗ lines that are located basically almost

44:24 ↗ down from the Shell station across the

44:25 ↗ frontage and and if this project goes

44:28 ↗ forward we really need to coordinate at

44:30 ↗ least the engineering relative to the

44:32 ↗ traffic signal so that the underground

44:35 ↗ conduits and utilities can go in

44:37 ↗ concurrently with the other improvements

44:39 ↗ that are taking place on Gilman this is

44:41 ↗ what makes the project uh an

44:43 ↗ economically viable project for us to

44:45 ↗ partner with the city on um and so we

44:48 ↗ need to get those issues worked out um I

44:51 ↗ guess the the outcome of this if we

44:53 ↗ don't go forward with this then then our

44:56 ↗ partners basically Bally putting us back

44:57 ↗ in a position of trying to move forward

44:59 ↗ with not our favorite outcome which

45:02 ↗ would be the the tire Superstore and we

45:05 ↗ end up with a c curb that really doesn't

45:07 ↗ I think help the community and I guess

45:09 ↗ the last thing is because we've

45:11 ↗ addressed time is money uh this project

45:13 ↗ I think will bring in close to a million

45:15 ↗ dollars in terms of uh either mitigation

45:17 ↗ or permitting fees uh so we hope you

45:21 ↗ consider our request for a development

45:23 ↗ agreement for the site thank you thank

45:26 ↗ you

45:28 ↗ next is Dave

45:38 ↗ Wagner good evening mayor and Council uh

45:40 ↗ David Wagner uh 360 Northwest Dogwood

45:44 ↗ Street Apartment K

45:46 ↗ 204

45:48 ↗ um I uh made a presentation to the mayor

45:52 ↗ on Veterans Day of a token flag and

45:56 ↗ immediately took it back from him

45:58 ↗ because I didn't want him to escape with

45:59 ↗ it because it was part of the flags that

46:02 ↗ we were going to donate to the city so

46:05 ↗ I'm here with that token flag again

46:07 ↗ because I don't believe all council

46:09 ↗ members know that rvfw post uh for the

46:13 ↗ last 10 years have given the flags to

46:16 ↗ the city where we have soldiers Sailors

46:21 ↗ Airmen uh In Harm's Way We want to make

46:24 ↗ sure that this city Stands Tall with

46:26 ↗ brand new Flags every year to fly in

46:30 ↗ uh in their honor so that they know that

46:33 ↗ they are supported by their Hometown if

46:37 ↗ isqua happens to be their Hometown one

46:40 ↗ sad thing to come uh before you I can

46:43 ↗ tell you I watched on the news today the

46:46 ↗ terrible terrible thing that happened in

46:48 ↗ San Antonio Texas we see a lot of

46:51 ↗ terrible things on the news every day

46:53 ↗ but for an officer to uh put on a

46:57 ↗ uniform and serve his city is just like

47:01 ↗ a soldier or a sailor or a marine

47:03 ↗ putting on their uniform and serving

47:06 ↗ their country and to see that officer

47:09 ↗ assassinated for no other reason than

47:12 ↗ just to be

47:13 ↗ assassinated I can only imagine the Grim

47:17 ↗ feeling that we would have in this city

47:20 ↗ if that was to happen to one of our

47:23 ↗ officers um we've got to find way to

47:28 ↗ stop this and it's all going to come

47:30 ↗ down to us everybody in this room and

47:35 ↗ uh this streets of isqua and the

47:39 ↗ community we have to find a way to stop

47:42 ↗ it so um I thank you for your time we

47:46 ↗ will have uh 14 brand new Flags uh for

47:52 ↗ the city we only use about 10 a year but

47:55 ↗ we're going to make sure that there's in

47:57 ↗ case uh there's a problem with one of

47:59 ↗ the flags that will have that flag for

48:02 ↗ backup

48:05 ↗ um anyway thank you and

48:08 ↗ uh thank you thank you is there some way

48:13 ↗ we can turn the screen

48:16 ↗ off yeah we can do that or

48:22 ↗ uh de I the

48:27 ↗ know we're going to need the screen

48:30 ↗ after this but uh

48:33 ↗ we oh that looks much better the city of

48:36 ↗ is Washington that's great

48:40 ↗ okay uh anyone else signed up to speak

48:44 ↗ is there anyone else in the audience D

48:48 ↗ yes please

48:57 ↗ good evening mayor council members my

48:59 ↗ name is Jennifer O'Neal and I'm

49:01 ↗ representing the Chinese information

49:02 ↗ service center cultural Navigator

49:05 ↗ program and we were recommended for

49:07 ↗ funding from the Human Services Grants

49:09 ↗ this is the first time ever and we're

49:11 ↗ very appreciative and I just wanted to

49:13 ↗ say a few words about what we've been

49:14 ↗ doing um we are a group that builds

49:18 ↗ Bridges between immigrant communities

49:20 ↗ and their new adopted Community we have

49:23 ↗ people on staff who speak Spanish

49:26 ↗ Russian Indian languages and I myself

49:29 ↗ speak Arabic and Chinese um and we

49:32 ↗ provide new immigrants with a feeling of

49:35 ↗ comfort that they can come to us and

49:37 ↗ talk in their own language and find out

49:40 ↗ any kind of information that they would

49:42 ↗ like whether it be how do I sign up sign

49:45 ↗ up for health insurance um what are

49:47 ↗ immigration laws that affect me or how

49:50 ↗ can I apply for housing or most recently

49:53 ↗ with a lot of our Chinese immigrants uh

49:56 ↗ many of whom are here in issaqua how can

49:59 ↗ I be a part of things and they just the

50:03 ↗ um 500 strong new Chinese immigrants

50:06 ↗ Association had a big event on Saturday

50:08 ↗ that I attended and I just spoke to

50:11 ↗ people and in fact they they is the

50:14 ↗ Presbyterian

50:16 ↗ Church on East Lake samamish so it's

50:19 ↗ actually within isqua they have a

50:22 ↗ congreg they have a service there every

50:24 ↗ I believe Sunday at 2 o'clock they share

50:27 ↗ that church um with the other

50:29 ↗ congregation and so many people were

50:31 ↗ saying we really want to contribute to

50:34 ↗ life here but because of maybe language

50:37 ↗ or because of just being from another

50:39 ↗ country with a very different system

50:41 ↗ we're not sure how um and we are an

50:44 ↗ organization that was established uh the

50:49 ↗ cisc um Chinese information service

50:52 ↗ center was established in the

50:53 ↗ International District in Seattle in the

50:56 ↗ 70s to serve that population of Chinese

51:00 ↗ immigrants and later all immigrants and

51:02 ↗ now we're out here and we find oh we

51:04 ↗ have a lot of people that um maybe don't

51:08 ↗ have economic needs but they do have

51:11 ↗ needs in terms of of really playing a

51:13 ↗ larger role in the community I know

51:16 ↗ people at that church uh they go to um

51:21 ↗ some Native American reservations and do

51:23 ↗ ministry out there and help people there

51:26 ↗ and and so I just think it's a

51:27 ↗ tremendous uh potential for volunteers

51:30 ↗ for

51:31 ↗ contributions um and we are doing a lot

51:36 ↗ of that work here in issaqua they're

51:38 ↗ having a big um celebration that they

51:40 ↗ hope uh they can get you Mr Mayor to

51:43 ↗ come to and I will give you information

51:46 ↗ about that but we just want to say how

51:48 ↗ very appreciative we are and we're going

51:50 ↗ to work very hard uh in isqua in the

51:53 ↗ coming year and um really look forward

51:57 ↗ to working with all of you thank you

51:59 ↗ Jennifer thank you very very much uh is

52:02 ↗ there anyone else Desiring to speak this

52:04 ↗ evening Mr

52:08 ↗ kler Jennifer did uh do we have your

52:11 ↗ email

52:18 ↗ address good evening David kler 255

52:20 ↗ Southeast Andrew Street um Mr Wagner did

52:24 ↗ not mention that uh today for the first

52:26 ↗ time in in over a year and a half he

52:27 ↗ could go to the uh Senior Center and not

52:30 ↗ be under threat of arrest which was kind

52:32 ↗ of nice and thanks for the mayor being

52:35 ↗ there today and um we had a nice um a

52:39 ↗ nice we got a lot of new members today

52:41 ↗ we a lot of us paid our 15 bucks so we

52:43 ↗ can be a member for less than a month

52:45 ↗ and a half but um that's how it goes um

52:50 ↗ I've as you know the council especially

52:52 ↗ knows I've had a lot to say about that

52:54 ↗ we need a new 501c3 new nonprofit group

52:57 ↗ to run the place um The more I've worked

53:00 ↗ with our new parks director and more I

53:02 ↗ hear about the the um Senior Center that

53:06 ↗ he ran in Kent when he was the park

53:08 ↗ director down there the much more

53:10 ↗ comfortable I am that the city would be

53:12 ↗ a good operator of such a facility um I

53:16 ↗ think there are some advantages to

53:17 ↗ having a a good

53:19 ↗ 501c3 that has a great contract and a

53:22 ↗ great lease and all those kinds of

53:23 ↗ things that could maybe get some grants

53:26 ↗ that maybe the city couldn't get maybe

53:28 ↗ will cause some volunteering that the

53:30 ↗ city might not see but um I quite

53:34 ↗ positive about the the future under the

53:36 ↗ city's um operation of that

53:40 ↗ facility tomorrow I can't make it to the

53:43 ↗ U the conference or the on

53:45 ↗ Transportation that hopefully all of you

53:47 ↗ are going to be at and as I was seeing

53:50 ↗ the presentation I was think I was um

53:54 ↗ thinking the same thing that Mary Lou

53:55 ↗ was getting at with her

53:58 ↗ question two urban areas that are right

54:01 ↗ next to each other two different

54:02 ↗ jurisdictions yeah there's ways to get

54:05 ↗ connected I mean we have those

54:06 ↗ connections between samamish and isqua

54:09 ↗ isqua and BW and a lot of those things

54:11 ↗ and there's Arial boards and other

54:13 ↗ sources of money and those kinds of

54:15 ↗ things where it falls apart is those

54:18 ↗ other two classifications of land the

54:20 ↗ rural land and the resource land Hobart

54:24 ↗ isqua Road is through a rural area the

54:29 ↗ highway teen is through um a basically a

54:33 ↗ forest and resource land between the

54:35 ↗ creeks and rivers there salmon issues

54:37 ↗ there and Forestry with the Raging River

54:40 ↗ Forest on one side of that road and

54:42 ↗ Tiger Mountain State Forest on the other

54:44 ↗ side there's some complications so and

54:48 ↗ the the money out there is is

54:51 ↗ short if I would hope you'll all be a

54:54 ↗ broken record tomorrow about the need to

54:57 ↗ do something about Highway 18 it's not

55:00 ↗ just the time wasted

55:03 ↗ there the frustration and all of that

55:06 ↗ it's it's a death trap when you have one

55:09 ↗ mile backups both East and West in the

55:11 ↗ PMP time onto a section of 70 M hour

55:15 ↗ Highway it is just

55:17 ↗ nuts um I can remember as a kid living

55:21 ↗ in bellw and hearing the head-on

55:23 ↗ collisions on us10 over on Merc Island

55:27 ↗ and hoping it wasn't my dad coming home

55:29 ↗ from work that was in that accident and

55:31 ↗ I think a lot of people are choosing to

55:34 ↗ come through isqua going this way even

55:37 ↗ if it might take longer because at least

55:38 ↗ they're not going to be in a

55:40 ↗ highspeed accidents on Highway 18 it's

55:44 ↗ going to be a much slower accident on

55:46 ↗ our very frustrating Hobart isqua Road

55:49 ↗ as long as people see Hobart isqua being

55:53 ↗ acceptable and Highway 18 being

55:56 ↗ dangerous and and slow we're going to

56:00 ↗ have our problem here is certainly going

56:02 ↗ to get worse thank you thank you David

56:06 ↗ anyone else Desiring to speak

56:16 ↗ Mary my name is Mary Lynch and I recite

56:19 ↗ at 26 90 Northwest oakrest Drive isqua

56:23 ↗ Washington and what I want to First just

56:25 ↗ talk about is I um have met with the

56:27 ↗ mayor and Emily and have heard that

56:29 ↗ you're not planning to adopt Vision zero

56:32 ↗ per se um but I still would like to say

56:35 ↗ that issaqua really needs to adopt the

56:38 ↗ four e of vision zero Enforcement

56:42 ↗ Education engineering and emergency

56:45 ↗ services and I would like to speak on

56:48 ↗ enforcement I again the last couple of

56:50 ↗ days have been walking I'm dog sitting

56:53 ↗ dog along Newport Way and and I talked

56:56 ↗ to the mayor over a month ago when I met

56:58 ↗ with him people are going 35 to 40 to 45

57:03 ↗ miles still on Newport way now that it's

57:06 ↗ dark and I was down there right at 5:00

57:08 ↗ today there was most of the cars going

57:12 ↗ 35 to 45 miles an hour and I stood

57:15 ↗ actually in front of the mile per hour

57:17 ↗ sign with the dog with a light on people

57:22 ↗ didn't put their brakes on they didn't

57:24 ↗ slow down and they could see me they had

57:28 ↗ no idea what was going to happen with my

57:30 ↗ dog or to know that I had him on a short

57:32 ↗ lead they didn't slow down you can

57:35 ↗ normally see what's going the opposite

57:37 ↗ that was going away from isqua when

57:40 ↗ there's no cars coming away from isqua

57:42 ↗ you still get the recording of what

57:44 ↗ people coming into isqua are doing

57:47 ↗ they're doing even faster because they

57:49 ↗ don't see the speed

57:51 ↗ sign we need enforcement not only there

57:54 ↗ but everywhere Behavior needs to change

57:58 ↗ and I've talked with um Bill uh Romas

58:02 ↗ here and I think he's mentioned it

58:04 ↗ before the police can help change that

58:07 ↗ behavior when they stop and make a

58:08 ↗ citation we've asked a couple of times

58:11 ↗ and not gotten responses on what how

58:13 ↗ many citations actually have been issued

58:15 ↗ since last year along Newport way and I

58:18 ↗ would doubt that very few citations have

58:21 ↗ been issued we've not got been able to

58:23 ↗ have that number I think probably more

58:25 ↗ than not was warnings but we have seen

58:28 ↗ very little presence especially lately

58:30 ↗ out there and now that it's dark in the

58:32 ↗ morning and the night we have a lot of

58:35 ↗ people that do ride or walk into isqua

58:39 ↗ uh park and ride to get the bus and we

58:42 ↗ have a lot of I was just talking with

58:45 ↗ the woman um Jennifer that presented we

58:47 ↗ have a lot of grandparents that are

58:49 ↗ walking children down along Newport Way

58:53 ↗ with little ones that easily could dart

58:55 ↗ out into the street

58:57 ↗ and at 40 to 45 M an hour they're not

59:00 ↗ going to

59:01 ↗ survive we need to have enforcement I

59:04 ↗ know we're short but we need to put

59:07 ↗ emphasis there we need all the police

59:09 ↗ that are out there whenever they're out

59:11 ↗ there they need to pull people over if

59:13 ↗ they're speeding I also with enforcement

59:17 ↗ um was walking with um the director of

59:20 ↗ operations for the schools because

59:22 ↗ second although a lot of us have come

59:25 ↗ and talked about it was identified in

59:27 ↗ the traffic um ped say um study that

59:32 ↗ there's supposed to be change we've seen

59:34 ↗ no changes to Second Avenue you just

59:37 ↗ congratulated the um cross country team

59:41 ↗ they routinely use Second Avenue to run

59:44 ↗ along and cross and they come off the

59:46 ↗ reneer trail they cross over to the

59:49 ↗ other Trail there is no good warning

59:51 ↗ there is no good lights they're there

59:53 ↗ late in the evening and they need to

59:56 ↗ also be better trained and I've talked

59:58 ↗ that with the school but we as a town

1:00:00 ↗ and City need to improve Second Avenue

1:00:04 ↗ and make it safe for everybody we need

1:00:06 ↗ enforcement because everybody that

1:00:08 ↗ drives second they know exactly where

1:00:11 ↗ those traffic camera things are so you

1:00:14 ↗ see them speed they get there most of

1:00:17 ↗ them if they're not on their cell phone

1:00:19 ↗ slow down those that get caught are

1:00:21 ↗ normally on their cell phones and

1:00:22 ↗ thinking about something else you

1:00:24 ↗ actually can bypass those

1:00:26 ↗ because there's a center lane where

1:00:28 ↗ there are no sensors and I've repeatedly

1:00:30 ↗ seen people go and go around Those

1:00:33 ↗ sensors and continue to speed and not

1:00:35 ↗ get caught that's unacceptable so we

1:00:38 ↗ need better engineering along there also

1:00:41 ↗ and that being said when we talk about

1:00:43 ↗ engineering um I just heard something

1:00:46 ↗ about Gilman I've also talked with Kurt

1:00:50 ↗ Shaman about the atlas project I hope

1:00:53 ↗ that if you design a new intersection

1:00:56 ↗ down there on Juniper that there are

1:00:59 ↗ pedestrian refuges at or the atlas

1:01:02 ↗ project should have never been built

1:01:05 ↗ without pedestrian Refuge when you're

1:01:06 ↗ talking 35 miles an hour and a congested

1:01:10 ↗ area people are going to get hit and

1:01:13 ↗ they're going to get killed there and if

1:01:15 ↗ you do do something with the Juniper one

1:01:17 ↗ now if you're moving the pedestrians

1:01:19 ↗ down to there you're going to have

1:01:21 ↗ problems thank you thank you uh Mary uh

1:01:25 ↗ anyone else Desiring to speak this

1:01:28 ↗ evening anyone else Desiring to speak

1:01:31 ↗ third and final call seeing no one

1:02:30 ↗ with that half of it but we got other

1:02:32 ↗ other things to talk about thank you but

1:02:34 ↗ we will start by talking about those two

1:02:37 ↗ agenda bills and and say thank you we're

1:02:39 ↗ here to give you I guess an update or

1:02:41 ↗ refresher on the work that many of us

1:02:44 ↗ are doing on the Oldtown area of isqua

1:02:48 ↗ and the two agenda bills the mayor

1:02:50 ↗ mentioned U kind of bring us here

1:02:52 ↗ tonight here are two slides that show um

1:02:56 ↗ highlights of the railroad crossing

1:02:59 ↗ project and the one prior The Front

1:03:02 ↗ Street work storm drainage and Ada ramp

1:03:07 ↗ repairs that were completed um speaking

1:03:09 ↗ for the public works department I think

1:03:11 ↗ pleased to say these projects were

1:03:13 ↗ completed ahead of schedule and under

1:03:16 ↗ budget so those are the two construction

1:03:19 ↗ projects um before you here tonight

1:03:21 ↗ we're here more to talk about the

1:03:23 ↗ broader picture of planning and design

1:03:25 ↗ work work um that has been happening and

1:03:28 ↗ will continue to happen over the next

1:03:30 ↗ year or so um we'll hop

1:03:33 ↗ to slide three which talks about and

1:03:37 ↗ I'll step back where this is next steps

1:03:39 ↗ in the in the last 2015 and part of 16

1:03:43 ↗ we have worked with the Oldtown Vitality

1:03:46 ↗ task force a group of downtown

1:03:50 ↗ stakeholders who came up with this this

1:03:52 ↗ report here that you may recall is

1:03:55 ↗ online it's on our website they came up

1:03:58 ↗ with a series of recommendations two key

1:04:00 ↗ ones one to update the Oldtown plan as

1:04:04 ↗ well as the development standards the

1:04:05 ↗ zoning and the design standards um that

1:04:09 ↗ were adopted back in 1999 and 2001 so

1:04:12 ↗ it's been quite a while uh on those and

1:04:16 ↗ secondly to create a um consistent and

1:04:18 ↗ well-designed streetscape plan for kind

1:04:22 ↗ of the Front Street area that Andrew

1:04:23 ↗ will talk about in a minute

1:04:26 ↗ um what what we are working on now is

1:04:30 ↗ kind of on those two parallel projects

1:04:32 ↗ they're kind of separate but we

1:04:33 ↗ recognize they come together so in the

1:04:36 ↗ blue box over here is kind of the

1:04:38 ↗ general framework is to set the vision

1:04:41 ↗ and direction for the next many years

1:04:44 ↗ and to confirm that this plan right here

1:04:47 ↗ which which we had back adopted back in

1:04:50 ↗ 99 and hasn't really been looked at too

1:04:52 ↗ much since then confirm is this still

1:04:55 ↗ the vision development um for the

1:04:57 ↗ Oldtown

1:04:58 ↗ area and then implementing that Vision

1:05:01 ↗ like you heard from the GMA guy just a

1:05:03 ↗ bit ago we take actions to implement the

1:05:06 ↗ vision and that's adopting perhaps new

1:05:09 ↗ updated development standards or

1:05:12 ↗ development code zoning standards and

1:05:15 ↗ that's kind of a list of the possible

1:05:17 ↗ actions that may happen we you know

1:05:19 ↗ we're not done yet so but we anticipate

1:05:23 ↗ some of those elements may be an out

1:05:25 ↗ come of the plan and were recommended

1:05:27 ↗ with the from the Oldtown Vitality task

1:05:30 ↗ force last year so that's the brief part

1:05:33 ↗ about the Oldtown Plan update I'll turn

1:05:36 ↗ over to Andrew about the streets

1:05:38 ↗ gate thank you Dave I'd like to jump

1:05:40 ↗ back if I may to the first two slides

1:05:43 ↗ and just uh I'd like to emphasize that

1:05:46 ↗ these were projects that were completed

1:05:49 ↗ on Front Street um that really focused

1:05:53 ↗ on

1:05:54 ↗ fixing fixing some of our infrastructure

1:05:57 ↗ problems that we had so they fixed the

1:05:59 ↗ drainage system that was pooling up

1:06:01 ↗ outside of Jacks and outside of stands

1:06:04 ↗ those were much needed repairs and I

1:06:06 ↗ think um from the questions that I've

1:06:09 ↗ received so far from the community is

1:06:11 ↗ okay so wait was that it was that the

1:06:13 ↗ street skate plan are we done now what

1:06:15 ↗ does this mean with the task force

1:06:17 ↗ requirements and so um we're not done

1:06:21 ↗ and that's one of the reasons why I

1:06:22 ↗ think we wanted to present to you today

1:06:24 ↗ was to talk about okay so what are the

1:06:25 ↗ next steps we have we've completed this

1:06:29 ↗ uh these fixes to some of the failing

1:06:32 ↗ infrastructure but um there's also more

1:06:35 ↗ to come and and I think that's the

1:06:37 ↗ emphasis of tonight so um so in addition

1:06:40 ↗ to the drainage and sidewalk uh in order

1:06:44 ↗ to get to that drainage infrastructure

1:06:46 ↗ of course we had to tear up the sidewalk

1:06:48 ↗ and repave it um also in order to fix

1:06:50 ↗ some of the

1:06:52 ↗ non-compliant crossings we had to tear

1:06:55 ↗ some things up and repave them um we did

1:06:58 ↗ build in as much as we could into these

1:07:00 ↗ projects based off of the uh Vitality

1:07:03 ↗ task force that Dave mentioned earlier

1:07:04 ↗ to make sure that um that we got the

1:07:08 ↗ basic idea of the task force

1:07:10 ↗ recommendations and reflected them but

1:07:12 ↗ also didn't want to build too much into

1:07:14 ↗ these projects uh without going through

1:07:17 ↗ this Greater Community process for

1:07:19 ↗ Street skate planning and so that's what

1:07:21 ↗ what I'd like to talk about next so back

1:07:23 ↗ to that Orange Box um so the street gate

1:07:26 ↗ plan here is just some of the bulleted

1:07:27 ↗ items for what is involved in the scope

1:07:29 ↗ of that plan the street gate plan is

1:07:31 ↗ going to address that sidewalk questions

1:07:33 ↗ so the repairs that we made to the

1:07:35 ↗ drainage system and the subsequent

1:07:37 ↗ sidewalk Paving really only affected U

1:07:40 ↗ one block between Sunset and Alder of

1:07:43 ↗ the downtown and there there's more to

1:07:46 ↗ take a look at and make sure that uh it

1:07:48 ↗ reflects what the community would like

1:07:50 ↗ to

1:07:50 ↗ see it's also going to talk about Street

1:07:53 ↗ trees so that's another question that I

1:07:55 ↗ know received is why haven't we replaced

1:07:57 ↗ the trees on Front Street why haven't we

1:08:00 ↗ replanted them and that's because uh we

1:08:04 ↗ want to make sure that we put in the

1:08:06 ↗ right tree right now that I have heard

1:08:09 ↗ uh that there's four to six different

1:08:11 ↗ species of trees on Front Street so

1:08:12 ↗ let's make sure that what we put in is

1:08:14 ↗ actually what we want to have there um

1:08:17 ↗ then also if we plant these trees do we

1:08:21 ↗ want to have other Planters or other

1:08:22 ↗ things around these trees so let's just

1:08:24 ↗ have that conversation as a community

1:08:26 ↗ find out what the community wants um

1:08:28 ↗ other things that are going to be

1:08:29 ↗ addressed throughout this process things

1:08:31 ↗ like pedestrian lighting uh Street

1:08:33 ↗ Furniture benches tables what do those

1:08:35 ↗ look like what does what does the

1:08:36 ↗ community want to see there um and

1:08:38 ↗ there's a few other things involved in

1:08:40 ↗ the scope as well including connections

1:08:42 ↗ to Front Street from things that are

1:08:44 ↗ maybe just a block off that folks uh

1:08:47 ↗ don't really know about or are hard to

1:08:48 ↗ get to and also some concept designs for

1:08:51 ↗ two areas off of Front Street which

1:08:54 ↗ include the entrance to The Fish

1:08:55 ↗ Hatchery and um the area behind uh

1:09:00 ↗ Jackson stands that's kind of between

1:09:02 ↗ pedestrian Park and Depot Park in that

1:09:05 ↗ area and then of course uh cost

1:09:07 ↗ estimates Let's uh see what these

1:09:10 ↗ suggestions look like and uh then we can

1:09:13 ↗ go towards implementing I think Dave

1:09:15 ↗ talked about we we're going to get the

1:09:16 ↗ plan and then uh then implementing the

1:09:19 ↗ plan would be the step after

1:09:22 ↗ that so I'm going to turn it back over

1:09:24 ↗ to Dave and he can talk about uh the

1:09:27 ↗ timelines for the Oldtown plan the point

1:09:29 ↗ of this slide is really to show that we

1:09:31 ↗ recognize these projects involve a lot

1:09:34 ↗ of stakeholder involvement from very

1:09:37 ↗ similar stakeholders we know that folks

1:09:39 ↗ that are interested in what happens in

1:09:41 ↗ the Oldtown plan are also really

1:09:42 ↗ interested in what happens in this more

1:09:44 ↗ focused plan that's uh the Front Street

1:09:47 ↗ Street skate plan or the downtown Street

1:09:50 ↗ gate plan so we've been trying to um to

1:09:53 ↗ coordinate Outreach as much as possible

1:09:56 ↗ for the convenience of our downtown

1:09:58 ↗ stakeholders and folks interested um

1:10:00 ↗ there's there's a lot to unpack here we

1:10:02 ↗ just kind of gave some of the highlights

1:10:04 ↗ so we'd be happy to answer questions

1:10:05 ↗ about that and Dave do you have anything

1:10:07 ↗ else you'd like to say about the Oldtown

1:10:09 ↗ plan timeline i' just say no with

1:10:11 ↗ there's many different ways to get we

1:10:13 ↗ want to get public Outreach as much as

1:10:14 ↗ possible many different ways there's

1:10:16 ↗ some bullets or boxes up there to talk

1:10:18 ↗ about that I want to I guess emphasize

1:10:21 ↗ the anticipated schedule is to bring

1:10:23 ↗ these two elements back to back to you

1:10:26 ↗ uh in the spring there's the word April

1:10:29 ↗ up there I bet it's kind of a fuzzy

1:10:31 ↗ April but it's it's in that anticipated

1:10:33 ↗ timeline and it depends on all the other

1:10:35 ↗ priorities that are going on in the the

1:10:37 ↗ city right now so we're anticipating

1:10:40 ↗ April and the other key thing is that

1:10:42 ↗ that'll come to you with a plan of

1:10:43 ↗ action implementation items so we're not

1:10:46 ↗ done in April that should come with a

1:10:48 ↗ list and from that we'll work with you

1:10:51 ↗ to adopt code amendments if we want or

1:10:54 ↗ or have cost estimates of projects um

1:10:58 ↗ design standard work we may need some

1:11:01 ↗ funding to to do that work um a list of

1:11:05 ↗ implementation items um with these two

1:11:07 ↗ plan

1:11:09 ↗ elements thank you uh Dave and Andrea

1:11:13 ↗ for that update and uh a look to the

1:11:16 ↗ Future are there any questions Mary L

1:11:19 ↗ sure um a question about the um open

1:11:23 ↗ housee from the 16th and then the one

1:11:25 ↗ for the second and third when we did the

1:11:27 ↗ sunset way design shet we used sort of a

1:11:31 ↗ different process in order to reach out

1:11:33 ↗ and get people to come to the meetings

1:11:36 ↗ did we use that process on the 16th and

1:11:38 ↗ how was our turnout and what is what did

1:11:40 ↗ the next two look like in January and

1:11:43 ↗ March yes um so we we had a little bit

1:11:46 ↗ of a different Outreach so for the East

1:11:48 ↗ Sunset Way open house we used some of

1:11:50 ↗ those electronic readerboard

1:11:52 ↗ signs and instead of those we placed

1:11:54 ↗ some signs on Front Street in the the

1:11:58 ↗ Planters the temporary planters that are

1:12:00 ↗ there now um so we weren't able to use

1:12:03 ↗ the electronic reader boards for the

1:12:04 ↗ openhouse last week because they uh had

1:12:07 ↗ been promised for the truck reroute so

1:12:11 ↗ um we weren't able to use them we would

1:12:13 ↗ like to use them in the future if if

1:12:15 ↗ they are available I think that was

1:12:17 ↗ something that we heard was pretty

1:12:19 ↗ effective and um we also sent out

1:12:22 ↗ notices via um the email list that we

1:12:25 ↗ gathered through the East Sunset Way

1:12:26 ↗ open house so folks that were directly

1:12:29 ↗ interested in what's happening in the

1:12:31 ↗ downtown and changes um and email lists

1:12:34 ↗ through the Downtown isqua Association

1:12:36 ↗ as well so some more targeted uh

1:12:38 ↗ invitations and it was on our City

1:12:40 ↗ calendar so there are some similarities

1:12:42 ↗ with the East Sunset Way open house and

1:12:44 ↗ then um a few differences as well so I

1:12:47 ↗ think um in terms of turnout it was not

1:12:52 ↗ as as many as we had hoped the east way

1:12:56 ↗ uh open house of course had a a lot of

1:12:59 ↗ people going uh we did not see as many

1:13:02 ↗ for this for this open house and I think

1:13:04 ↗ that's something that we're looking to

1:13:06 ↗ regroup and try to improve upon for

1:13:09 ↗ future Outreach the other thing is while

1:13:11 ↗ we have these open houses up here uh we

1:13:14 ↗ are looking to get feedback in a bunch

1:13:16 ↗ of different formats one thing that

1:13:18 ↗ we've heard from the community is coming

1:13:21 ↗ out when it's dark and rainy in the

1:13:23 ↗ winter time is is really hard to do

1:13:26 ↗ versus in the summertime and so what

1:13:28 ↗ we're trying to do is we're

1:13:29 ↗ experimenting with some online formats

1:13:32 ↗ and surveys and seeing what is effective

1:13:34 ↗ so so far for the survey that's listed

1:13:37 ↗ here um on the timeline you can see in

1:13:39 ↗ November it's actually available now um

1:13:42 ↗ actually it was started in uh around the

1:13:45 ↗ Zombie Walk So Halloween time and will

1:13:47 ↗ be available through uh the 1st of

1:13:50 ↗ December it's online on the city's

1:13:52 ↗ website and there's postcards up around

1:13:55 ↗ to to um to encourage folks to take the

1:13:59 ↗ survey and we've gotten some really good

1:14:00 ↗ responses from that better than

1:14:02 ↗ anticipated so I think we're trying to

1:14:04 ↗ look at different formats for getting

1:14:05 ↗ that feedback and uh engaging the

1:14:09 ↗ public and then and David a question

1:14:11 ↗ about the Oldtown plan so there was um

1:14:15 ↗ discussion of looking at the sub area

1:14:17 ↗ plan and looking at the design and the

1:14:20 ↗ and looking at the code and then there's

1:14:22 ↗ also suggested there's guidelines

1:14:25 ↗ for downtown is that a separate document

1:14:28 ↗ or is that something that would get

1:14:29 ↗ rolled

1:14:31 ↗ in to that process that that could be

1:14:34 ↗ part of the process I guess it depends

1:14:36 ↗ how the plan plays out and what what

1:14:38 ↗ list of recommendations or

1:14:40 ↗ implementation items we all you all

1:14:43 ↗ decide to adopt but today there are the

1:14:46 ↗ you know the oldfashioned zoning

1:14:48 ↗ standards but then there are the also

1:14:49 ↗ the Old Town design standards I think

1:14:52 ↗ that's what you're refer stands are

1:14:53 ↗ guidelines these are are they're called

1:14:56 ↗ standards they're some they're written

1:14:59 ↗ some as you know shall some as should so

1:15:01 ↗ it could be a but they are standards

1:15:04 ↗ they apply to the CBD Zone and the

1:15:07 ↗ multif family zones primarily you know

1:15:09 ↗ the two Comm front and sunset area and

1:15:12 ↗ are they tied are there any issues in

1:15:14 ↗ that whole review that are also being

1:15:16 ↗ looked at under the

1:15:19 ↗ moratorium um not I guess well well

1:15:23 ↗ there's architectural character is an

1:15:24 ↗ element that's in here that could be um

1:15:29 ↗ looked at through this process as

1:15:34 ↗ well thank you so I'm still a little

1:15:37 ↗ confused about what the deliverables are

1:15:39 ↗ in April okay it uh when it says city

1:15:43 ↗ council what what is that yes so we um

1:15:47 ↗ so I can speak for the streets gate plan

1:15:49 ↗ so for the street gate plan we have our

1:15:52 ↗ contract with the Consultants that are

1:15:53 ↗ assisting us on this project and our um

1:15:56 ↗ their main deliverables to draft the

1:15:58 ↗ street skate plan so we're going to be

1:16:00 ↗ engaging the public throughout this

1:16:02 ↗ process um as you can see in March they

1:16:04 ↗ hope to finalize the draft of the plan

1:16:06 ↗ and then at that point we'll be bringing

1:16:08 ↗ it back to council for review and uh

1:16:12 ↗ potential adoption in April so that's

1:16:15 ↗ that's I think the deliverable for the

1:16:16 ↗ street skate plan eventually um we see

1:16:19 ↗ it being folded into the Old Town plan

1:16:22 ↗ and the design standards it's kind of

1:16:24 ↗ acts as as an overlay to those okay and

1:16:27 ↗ and for the other element would

1:16:29 ↗ be an update to the Oldtown Subara

1:16:33 ↗ comprehensive

1:16:35 ↗ plan which would so be updating the plan

1:16:38 ↗ of development and then it would include

1:16:41 ↗ in there a list of

1:16:43 ↗ implementation additional steps

1:16:44 ↗ additional steps yes okay um I guess my

1:16:49 ↗ comment on the Oldtown plan that seems

1:16:51 ↗ rather ambitious um

1:16:55 ↗ to do that in that time frame because

1:16:57 ↗ it's a a fairly significant plan maybe

1:17:00 ↗ not in thickness but in

1:17:09 ↗ significance thank you for that comment

1:17:12 ↗ you're welcome are there uh additional

1:17:17 ↗ questions David Andrea thank you very

1:17:19 ↗ very much uh for for that update uh we

1:18:29 ↗ as an alternate and I'll leave um the

1:18:32 ↗ report to uh council member Marts as I

1:18:35 ↗ think he might have some exciting news

1:18:37 ↗ to

1:18:40 ↗ share uh thank you uh council member

1:18:42 ↗ wers side uh thank you uh the council

1:18:45 ↗ infrastructure committee met on November

1:18:47 ↗ 17th last week here and if you weren't

1:18:50 ↗ able to attend uh they are available on

1:18:52 ↗ camera and online if you'd like to like

1:18:55 ↗ to watch those those uh committee

1:18:56 ↗ meetings but a number of informational

1:18:58 ↗ items including one about an alternative

1:19:00 ↗ Services pilot proposal we're applying

1:19:03 ↗ for some um grant money from King County

1:19:06 ↗ Metro and our our application they are

1:19:09 ↗ they are exploring some alternative um

1:19:13 ↗ um transportation programs and the one

1:19:16 ↗ that we're applying for some funds it's

1:19:18 ↗ titled I guess kind of Hill to Valley to

1:19:20 ↗ help people who live on our Hills within

1:19:21 ↗ Talis or squawk Mountain to connect to

1:19:24 ↗ place places within the valley that's a

1:19:27 ↗ great subject um and so I'm glad to hear

1:19:29 ↗ about that we'll learn more about um

1:19:31 ↗ that as so um as we go

1:19:34 ↗ on um we also got an update we learn we

1:19:37 ↗ learned about um I think something

1:19:39 ↗ that's coming to us in budget about a

1:19:42 ↗ proposal to make an improvement to the

1:19:45 ↗ Trader Joe's and Target Maple Street

1:19:47 ↗ intersection um and we know that there

1:19:49 ↗ were some funds in the proposed budget

1:19:52 ↗ for some complete streets type Improv M

1:19:55 ↗ crosswalk improvements um and ramp

1:19:58 ↗ improvements U but um we got a um we had

1:20:02 ↗ a conversation there wasn't really a lot

1:20:04 ↗ we didn't look at any material or any

1:20:05 ↗ pictures or detailed design but we heard

1:20:07 ↗ about a proposal to also add a um

1:20:12 ↗ something like a miniature roundabout to

1:20:14 ↗ that intersection um and um it's my

1:20:18 ↗ understanding we're going to talk about

1:20:20 ↗ this more as part of our budget

1:20:22 ↗ deliberations as well because this

1:20:23 ↗ additional this the creation of this

1:20:26 ↗ miniature roundabout was not in our

1:20:28 ↗ original budget proposal not for mini

1:20:31 ↗ cars

1:20:32 ↗ it's traffic ccle right yeah miniature

1:20:34 ↗ roundabouts um a miniature roundabout um

1:20:38 ↗ but and so I think the full Council will

1:20:40 ↗ be very interested in having this

1:20:42 ↗ conversation I mean this is a result of

1:20:45 ↗ of of our our ask of the administration

1:20:48 ↗ when we did not go forward with

1:20:51 ↗ including the upgrade of that

1:20:52 ↗ intersection on the traffic Bond

1:20:55 ↗ uh because uh we saw a couple other ways

1:20:57 ↗ that maybe we could make the necessary

1:20:59 ↗ improvements or or the actual uh land

1:21:03 ↗ owners property owners in that area

1:21:05 ↗ potentially making those improvements so

1:21:07 ↗ um but this uh miniature roundabout um

1:21:11 ↗ you know as would include um a center

1:21:14 ↗ Island as proposed um and as I mentioned

1:21:17 ↗ some improvements to ramps and crossings

1:21:20 ↗ uh and um it's all um currently

1:21:24 ↗ estimated add just about an additional

1:21:26 ↗ $50,000 that doesn't include flashing

1:21:28 ↗ signs at the crosswalk so that would be

1:21:30 ↗ an additional cost as well um and so

1:21:34 ↗ again I'll we'll be able to talk about

1:21:35 ↗ this a little bit more at a future uh

1:21:37 ↗ budget

1:21:39 ↗ meeting um we did um also um it will be

1:21:44 ↗ on not on on the December 5th uh consent

1:21:47 ↗ um calendar um we did approve suggest

1:21:51 ↗ for approval uh the First Amendment to

1:21:53 ↗ the South code green Point assumption

1:21:55 ↗ interlocal agreement with Belleview very

1:21:57 ↗ very fascinating topic U you'll see that

1:22:00 ↗ in a future packet um we got an update

1:22:03 ↗ on the I90 shoulder hardening so um the

1:22:07 ↗ state legislator legislature last year

1:22:09 ↗ did um uh include hardening of the

1:22:12 ↗ shoulders and I90 between isqua and

1:22:15 ↗ Eastgate um and so they've just started

1:22:18 ↗ having some um kickoff meetings about

1:22:21 ↗ what that would look like the various

1:22:23 ↗ stakeholders um facilitated by the

1:22:27 ↗ Washington State Department of

1:22:28 ↗ Transportation and their consultant so

1:22:30 ↗ we got briefed on that and I know that

1:22:32 ↗ we are involved uh and will be but uh

1:22:36 ↗ one of the things that stood out is that

1:22:38 ↗ um this will add some temporary capacity

1:22:41 ↗ during Peak usage times both Eastbound

1:22:43 ↗ and Westbound but construction wouldn't

1:22:44 ↗ start until 2018 it wouldn't be complete

1:22:47 ↗ till 2020 I'm still trying to get my

1:22:49 ↗ head around that one

1:22:51 ↗ how uh shoulder hardening will take

1:22:53 ↗ three years but um that's the schedule

1:22:55 ↗ that they're working to um and then um

1:23:00 ↗ okay so that's uh that'll actually

1:23:02 ↗ conclude my report for the

1:23:03 ↗ infrastructure meeting and then um on

1:23:06 ↗ November 10th I attended a a board

1:23:08 ↗ meeting for Eide fire and rescue and the

1:23:11 ↗ item of note from that meeting is that

1:23:13 ↗ we did establish a liability Reserve

1:23:16 ↗ fund whose purpose is to cover vacation

1:23:18 ↗ leave balance and six sick leave balance

1:23:20 ↗ cash outs as well as Employee Retirement

1:23:23 ↗ and vacation vacancy replacement costs

1:23:27 ↗ so a special fund so epher now has a

1:23:30 ↗ special fund to cover these liabilities

1:23:32 ↗ uh when people um again if we have to

1:23:35 ↗ pay out when they leave or retire um and

1:23:38 ↗ so we also deposit deposited some money

1:23:40 ↗ in that fund for its use in 2016 and I

1:23:42 ↗ think the establishment of this fund and

1:23:44 ↗ Associated business practices will allow

1:23:46 ↗ eper to properly plan and budget for and

1:23:49 ↗ provide visibility into this uh

1:23:51 ↗ significant expense that concludes my

1:23:53 ↗ report

1:23:55 ↗ thank you uh council member Marts thank

1:23:57 ↗ you Mr Mayor the council services and

1:24:00 ↗ Safety Committee met on Thursday

1:24:02 ↗ November 10th at 6:30 a little bit

1:24:05 ↗ different time um in the eagle room and

1:24:08 ↗ uh we had a number of issues that we had

1:24:11 ↗ that were informational but we took

1:24:12 ↗ action on agenda bill

1:24:14 ↗ 7281 which is an interfund loan Fleet

1:24:17 ↗ Services fund to Street Improvement fund

1:24:19 ↗ and we unanimously moved our uh uh

1:24:22 ↗ recommended that to come back to the

1:24:24 ↗ full

1:24:25 ↗ Council uh November 20 21st um and then

1:24:31 ↗ we also uh perhaps of of uh a lot more

1:24:36 ↗ public interest um had an update on the

1:24:38 ↗ senior center uh site assessment um from

1:24:41 ↗ David Fujimoto Martha Cesar Roi and Jeff

1:24:45 ↗ Watling and basically what that is is uh

1:24:48 ↗ Parks and Recreation staff had been

1:24:50 ↗ working with pardon me on-site staff on

1:24:53 ↗ a continuity of service plan for the

1:24:55 ↗ senior center should the current

1:24:56 ↗ nonprofit agency stop operating the

1:24:58 ↗ center for some time now uh one of the

1:25:00 ↗ primary goals of this effort was to

1:25:01 ↗ continue operation as a senior center

1:25:03 ↗ with minimal or no disruption and they

1:25:05 ↗ developed a two-stage plan stage one

1:25:07 ↗ being interterm operation and stage two

1:25:09 ↗ being long-term operation and of course

1:25:11 ↗ there was uh recently news that the

1:25:13 ↗ isqua valley seniors board uh will be

1:25:15 ↗ stepping down as of the end of the year

1:25:17 ↗ in operating uh the senior center so the

1:25:20 ↗ interim plan is now being put into

1:25:22 ↗ motion with interim operation beginning

1:25:24 ↗ beginning the first week of January

1:25:25 ↗ specific date will be determined within

1:25:27 ↗ the next few weeks uh interm operation

1:25:30 ↗ will consist of the City operating the

1:25:31 ↗ center skilled and professional Parks

1:25:33 ↗ and Recreation staff will manage and

1:25:35 ↗ operate the facility in this interim

1:25:37 ↗ period drawing from their experience in

1:25:38 ↗ operating public facilities customer

1:25:40 ↗ service programming working with

1:25:42 ↗ Community Partners and Volunteers in

1:25:44 ↗ this Trans in this transition period

1:25:46 ↗ staff will reach out to and begin to

1:25:48 ↗ coordinate with the current service

1:25:50 ↗ providers and R and Rental groups at the

1:25:51 ↗ center as part of interm operations sta

1:25:54 ↗ will create a senior center Advisory

1:25:56 ↗ Board interm operation will allow the uh

1:25:59 ↗ will allow time for public engagement

1:26:01 ↗ identifying options analyzing options

1:26:04 ↗ and making a policy decision on

1:26:05 ↗ long-term operation stage two of this

1:26:08 ↗ public building a variety of long-term

1:26:10 ↗ operating models can be explored and

1:26:11 ↗ vetted the current requested funds for

1:26:13 ↗ senior services within the 2017 budget

1:26:16 ↗ will be able to fully fund the net

1:26:18 ↗ operating costs for stage one interim

1:26:20 ↗ operations more details on interim

1:26:22 ↗ operations will be available in the

1:26:23 ↗ coming weeks as a great deal of

1:26:25 ↗ transition work is underway with Parks

1:26:27 ↗ and

1:26:27 ↗ Recreation so that concludes uh the

1:26:31 ↗ services and Safety Committee uh public

1:26:34 ↗ is uh sound cities Association public

1:26:36 ↗ issues committee did indeed meet on

1:26:38 ↗ Wednesday November 9th and renon City

1:26:41 ↗ Hall a number of issues were uh

1:26:44 ↗ addressed uh go to my notes first up was

1:26:47 ↗ uh sound cities Association has actually

1:26:49 ↗ brought in a new senior policy analyst

1:26:51 ↗ Brian Perry uh who's already um I've

1:26:54 ↗ already had a bunch of interactions with

1:26:56 ↗ uh annual meeting is going to be held

1:26:58 ↗ November

1:26:59 ↗ 30th and that is at the Ron uh I forget

1:27:03 ↗ the name of it it's their it's their

1:27:05 ↗ facility there their nice facility right

1:27:07 ↗ there in Ron um let's see here probably

1:27:10 ↗ the the big news you're referring to um

1:27:12 ↗ the extremely capable Ed Prince of reton

1:27:14 ↗ was um uh elected as P Vice chair Ed

1:27:18 ↗ I've been working with Ed for a while

1:27:19 ↗ he's really awesome and also I was

1:27:22 ↗ elected chair of the pick yay

1:27:25 ↗ congratulations very much I'm very I am

1:27:27 ↗ very excited I have been lucky enough to

1:27:29 ↗ be on pick now I think this is I think

1:27:31 ↗ this is my sixth year um so I have seen

1:27:34 ↗ the value to isqua of our engagement

1:27:36 ↗ with sound cities Association and I am

1:27:38 ↗ very very excited to be helping uh Drive

1:27:41 ↗ the uh the agenda that goes before the

1:27:43 ↗ pick in support of the sea board

1:27:45 ↗ Regional boarding committee appointments

1:27:47 ↗ were made a number of isqua folks were

1:27:49 ↗ on there not everybody got their first

1:27:51 ↗ choice but uh the the uh uh nominations

1:27:56 ↗ committee uh strove to make sure that

1:27:58 ↗ everybody who was interested got an

1:28:00 ↗ important uh and valuable assignment and

1:28:03 ↗ then I thought I had one more thing on

1:28:04 ↗ this oh yes we went through levies and

1:28:07 ↗ bond measures in King County and we

1:28:09 ↗ talked in compared notes on that and

1:28:12 ↗ uh uh there

1:28:15 ↗ were st3 was a was a subject that uh we

1:28:19 ↗ had not had unanimity um but there were

1:28:21 ↗ many people uh who were very happy to

1:28:24 ↗ have seen st3 go through but we sort of

1:28:27 ↗ kept kept the celebrations to a minimum

1:28:29 ↗ because not not everybody to ey pick

1:28:32 ↗ only takes positions when there's

1:28:34 ↗ essentially close to unanimity and so

1:28:36 ↗ did not directly take a position uh once

1:28:38 ↗ the uh once the measure was before the

1:28:41 ↗ public so then the King County growth

1:28:44 ↗ management policy council is going to

1:28:46 ↗ have a special meeting date um due to a

1:28:48 ↗ number of I think holiday related

1:28:49 ↗ scheduling they've actually moved it

1:28:51 ↗ from the end of November to Tuesday

1:28:53 ↗ December 13 at 4 p.m. in psrc Chambers

1:28:56 ↗ if that date sounds familiar is because

1:28:57 ↗ that's the evening that we have our next

1:28:59 ↗ services and safety committee meeting

1:29:01 ↗ and um I may be seeing if my fellow

1:29:03 ↗ council members can bump that a little

1:29:05 ↗ bit later so I can make sure I can get

1:29:07 ↗ through traffic to get back here and

1:29:09 ↗ then as mentioned before the uh e911

1:29:12 ↗ strategic plan scoping leadership group

1:29:13 ↗ doesn't get fired up until January this

1:39:05 ↗ the community as well as in City

1:39:38 ↗ 550 across all funds uh that are tracked

1:39:42 ↗ for the city of isqua the largest fund

1:39:45 ↗ is the general fund you can see that 33%

1:39:47 ↗ of the proposed

1:39:49 ↗ Appropriations uh are for general fund

1:39:51 ↗ purposes uh there are a number of small

1:39:55 ↗ or separate utility uh capital projects

1:39:58 ↗ Street capital projects um miscellaneous

1:40:04 ↗ projects some of the highlights in the

1:40:06 ↗ 2017 budget are city council goals and

1:40:10 ↗ directions one of which is a proposed

1:40:12 ↗ strategic plan initiative there are some

1:40:15 ↗ Human Services initiatives to enhance

1:40:17 ↗ Senior Services support affordable

1:40:19 ↗ housing and some new community grants

1:40:24 ↗ development services department within

1:40:25 ↗ the general fund uh some of the impacts

1:40:28 ↗ to this budget are related to the

1:40:30 ↗ moratorium uh the work in the pipeline

1:40:33 ↗ that is uh identified as declining and

1:40:36 ↗ then proposed DSD fee

1:40:39 ↗ increases the budget includes Staffing

1:40:42 ↗ proposals that respond to uh things such

1:40:45 ↗ as public records requests and increase

1:40:47 ↗ in those uh additional neighborhood

1:40:50 ↗ engagement and citizen engagement and

1:40:52 ↗ then it continued investment in the

1:41:09 ↗ and sewer fund budgets and then there as

1:41:12 ↗ I mentioned the capital projects a

1:41:13 ↗ variety of transportation and capital

1:41:15 ↗ projects have been identified uh in the

1:41:18 ↗ upcoming Year's budget some of those

1:41:20 ↗ projects are offset by Grant or

1:41:22 ↗ mitigation fund sources

1:41:25 ↗ the city council has been deliberating

1:41:29 ↗ work sessions that were identified by

1:41:32 ↗ Council and that is uh later in November

1:41:35 ↗ and then uh early uh Saturday in

1:41:38 ↗ December and so the the discussion item

1:41:41 ↗ for you tonight and the recommendation

1:41:43 ↗ is that you would open the public

1:41:45 ↗ hearing for the 2017 budget and then

1:41:47 ↗ continue that public hearing to December

1:41:49 ↗ 5th

1:41:51 ↗ 2016 I'd be happy to answer any question

1:41:53 ↗ questions are there questions of uh

1:41:58 ↗ Jen seeing none then I will open the

1:42:02 ↗ public hearing at uh

1:42:06 ↗ 8:41 and remind those in the audience

1:42:09 ↗ that uh the same rules for uh audience

1:42:13 ↗ comments as I previously outlined uh

1:42:16 ↗ apply to the uh the public hearing has

1:42:19 ↗ anyone signed up to speak no one has

1:42:22 ↗ signed up

1:42:23 ↗ is there anyone in the public Desiring

1:42:25 ↗ to speak this

1:42:29 ↗ evening Mary

1:42:38 ↗ Lynch my name is Mary Lynch and I recite

1:42:41 ↗ at 2690 Northwest oest Drive isaquel

1:42:44 ↗ Washington first I just like to comment

1:42:46 ↗ on the senior center um when we met uh

1:42:50 ↗ and were invited to come and talk over

1:42:52 ↗ it tibits in June those of us there were

1:42:56 ↗ told that the city was looking at what

1:42:58 ↗ to do next with the senior center and

1:43:00 ↗ we'd be kept informed of what was

1:43:02 ↗ happening the only way I've really and

1:43:04 ↗ most of us have learned what's going on

1:43:06 ↗ is to read the isqua press or the

1:43:08 ↗ reporter and I would ask that for those

1:43:11 ↗ of us that attended that meeting that

1:43:13 ↗ the city as promised because we we

1:43:16 ↗ signed up to get alerts and to get

1:43:18 ↗ notification on what was happening I

1:43:20 ↗ would ask that you send updates to those

1:43:23 ↗ people that ask for that so we know

1:43:25 ↗ what's going on because I tried to read

1:43:27 ↗ through the budget and I found very very

1:43:29 ↗ little comments on what was happening

1:43:31 ↗ with the senior center I was not able to

1:43:34 ↗ attend the meeting that uh TOA marks

1:43:36 ↗ talked about I'll go back and listen to

1:43:38 ↗ that but I really think the city needs

1:43:40 ↗ to be a lot more transparent on what's

1:43:42 ↗ happening with the senior center what's

1:43:44 ↗ going forward and one of the main

1:43:47 ↗ reasons is you've got a vast amount of

1:43:49 ↗ resources here with seniors and you've

1:43:51 ↗ got a lot of retired executives people

1:43:53 ↗ that would be very much interested in

1:43:55 ↗ being involved and in the past have been

1:43:57 ↗ turned away or not involved and if you

1:44:00 ↗ look around at other successful senior

1:44:02 ↗ centers the majority of their FTE are

1:44:06 ↗ volunteers and I would hope that you are

1:44:09 ↗ more transparent going forward and that

1:44:13 ↗ your plans are um incorporating the

1:44:16 ↗ seniors and are based the whole premise

1:44:19 ↗ is based upon seniors being the people

1:44:22 ↗ that are delivering Services you still

1:44:24 ↗ need to have City there for oversight

1:44:27 ↗ and to help maintain the buildings that

1:44:29 ↗ being said um at the Oldtown meeting I

1:44:32 ↗ gave my input I really think the

1:44:34 ↗ building itself is totally underutilized

1:44:37 ↗ I think as part of the post you need to

1:44:39 ↗ look at that building and say how else

1:44:41 ↗ can it be utilized not just as a senior

1:44:43 ↗ center but as a center there's very few

1:44:46 ↗ public meeting rooms here in the city of

1:44:48 ↗ issaqua and trying to get a public

1:44:50 ↗ meeting room is an act to Congress most

1:44:52 ↗ of our our homeowners association

1:44:54 ↗ nonprofits don't have a lot of money so

1:44:56 ↗ we can't afford to go and rent a hotel

1:44:58 ↗ room or you know if there is then it's

1:45:02 ↗ very hard to find even a a professional

1:45:04 ↗ meeting room and so there's rooms there

1:45:06 ↗ that could be very easily used at night

1:45:09 ↗ and other times of the day for meeting

1:45:11 ↗ rooms and other sorts of activities and

1:45:13 ↗ I would hope that you really look at

1:45:15 ↗ that building and put it to its full

1:45:17 ↗ utilization I would hope so going

1:45:19 ↗ forward that you also look at making

1:45:21 ↗ sure the kitchen is brought up to

1:45:23 ↗ standards so if you do have Community

1:45:25 ↗ meals that can be your your kitchen

1:45:27 ↗ that's used for Community meals so it

1:45:29 ↗ does pass your uh King County U health

1:45:32 ↗ standards and you can use that for such

1:45:35 ↗ um that being said on the senior plan

1:45:38 ↗ just in the budget in particular I know

1:45:41 ↗ the you heard from the planning and

1:45:43 ↗ policies um chair I would hope that

1:45:47 ↗ going forward based upon the budget that

1:45:49 ↗ you update your levels of service

1:45:51 ↗ indicators from your 20 six and bring

1:45:54 ↗ those up to standards so when you're

1:45:55 ↗ really looking at the budget and you're

1:45:57 ↗ planning your Capital plans it's based

1:46:00 ↗ on today's level of service indicators

1:46:03 ↗ not on 2006 thank

1:46:06 ↗ you thank you uh Mary is there anyone

1:46:09 ↗ else Desiring to

1:46:12 ↗ speak anyone else Desiring to speak

1:46:16 ↗ third and final call anyone else

1:46:18 ↗ Desiring to speak seeing no one then uh

1:46:21 ↗ the public hearing is closed at

1:46:25 ↗ 8:45 is it closed FR or we continuing it

1:46:29 ↗ oh a to

1:46:32 ↗ continue make a mo yes council president

1:46:37 ↗ good one well I think it's a good I

1:46:38 ↗ think it's a good question because

1:46:39 ↗ usually if you continue you don't we're

1:46:42 ↗ we're going to continue it on December

1:46:44 ↗ 5th yeah so I would move to continue the

1:46:47 ↗ public hearing to the December 5th 2016

1:46:49 ↗ council meeting dang it thank you

1:46:55 ↗ are there questions or

1:46:58 ↗ discussion um I uh I was thinking um

1:47:02 ↗ during some of the comments um that uh

1:47:06 ↗ reminded me of

1:47:08 ↗ um one of the pieces of information that

1:47:11 ↗ council member I believe council member

1:47:12 ↗ Marts mentioned in um when you were

1:47:14 ↗ talking about the update that Services

1:47:16 ↗ received on the senior center and it

1:47:18 ↗ said that there was money in the 2017

1:47:20 ↗ budget for the phase one

1:47:23 ↗ which is the interim

1:47:24 ↗ operations um so my question um that

1:47:28 ↗ doesn't necessarily need to be answered

1:47:29 ↗ tonight but for our next budget session

1:47:32 ↗ um I would like to know um if there is a

1:47:35 ↗ cost associated with phase two in 2017

1:47:38 ↗ what that cost is anticipated to be so

1:47:40 ↗ we can budget for

1:47:42 ↗ that I I could answer that question now

1:47:46 ↗ there is that money in the 2017 budget

1:47:50 ↗ for phase two and and uh we anticipate

1:47:55 ↗ uh phase one lasting throughout

1:47:58 ↗ 2017 as we evaluate alternatives for how

1:48:03 ↗ it should be

1:48:10 ↗ operated other questions or sure um a

1:48:13 ↗ question just to follow up on Mary

1:48:15 ↗ Lynch's comment

1:48:17 ↗ about uh indicators service

1:48:20 ↗ indicators um that's coming out of

1:48:22 ↗ planning policy polic commission there

1:48:23 ↗ was a discussion there with staff about

1:48:25 ↗ indicators that were older than three

1:48:26 ↗ years old older than three years and

1:48:30 ↗ whether or not Council would consider

1:48:32 ↗ funds in the 2017 budget to upgrade them

1:48:35 ↗ this year I I was under the impression

1:48:39 ↗ that uh the comment in the planning

1:48:41 ↗ policy commission was uh uh plans uh uh

1:48:46 ↗ required plans not uh level of service

1:48:50 ↗ indicators but I could be wrong can

1:48:53 ↗ someone we can just add it to the list

1:48:55 ↗ of questions for the budget session okay

1:48:57 ↗ let's do

1:48:58 ↗ that other questions or

1:49:00 ↗ discussion seeing none then all those in

1:49:03 ↗ favor of continuing the public hearing

1:53:08 ↗ the city uh cultural

1:53:11 ↗ competency applicability of service to

1:53:13 ↗ isqua Residents coordination of service

1:53:16 ↗ within the Regional Human Service

1:53:18 ↗ Network diversity and comprehensiveness

1:53:21 ↗ of budget portfolios alignment with City

1:53:23 ↗ goal areas and Human Service elements

1:53:25 ↗ and then finally uh our second and final

1:53:27 ↗ round of deliberations uh is where we re

1:53:30 ↗ uh made recommendations and refined them

1:53:33 ↗ within each of the goal areas with

1:53:34 ↗ consideration to the overall mix of

1:53:37 ↗ programs so as to be comprehensive in

1:53:39 ↗ the

1:53:40 ↗ recommendation um here each individual

1:53:43 ↗ uh application was discussed and in

1:53:46 ↗ terms of maximizing its impact for

1:53:49 ↗ residents uh and how as I said those

1:53:51 ↗ would fit into aort portfolio that would

1:53:53 ↗ balance both prevention of efforts that

1:53:55 ↗ we could forecast being of an issue to

1:53:57 ↗ the city and intervention services that

1:54:00 ↗ would provide uh support for those in

1:54:02 ↗ need um overall we found an increased

1:54:05 ↗ level of needs in the community

1:54:07 ↗ especially for our most vulnerable

1:54:08 ↗ residents our youth our seniors uh

1:54:11 ↗ people with disabilities victims of

1:54:13 ↗ various forms of abuse and people

1:54:15 ↗ experiencing homelessness uh to have to

1:54:18 ↗ strategically recommend that many very

1:54:19 ↗ worthy resources not be funded or

1:54:22 ↗ received less than wased uh requested

1:54:24 ↗ was quite difficult uh now I'll just

1:54:26 ↗ turn it over to our uh Vice chair

1:54:29 ↗ Elizabeth for specifics around our

1:54:34 ↗ recommendations thank

1:54:37 ↗ you I'm not in best voice but I'll do

1:54:39 ↗ what I

1:54:41 ↗ can um the commission recommended

1:54:44 ↗ funding Human Service grants at the

1:54:47 ↗ increased funding level we considered

1:54:51 ↗ that as May major funders were narrowing

1:54:54 ↗ their focus some of the services which

1:54:56 ↗ have been valuable to this community

1:54:59 ↗ will have little revenue from those

1:55:02 ↗ formerly reliable

1:55:06 ↗ sources this was also a consideration in

1:55:09 ↗ our recommendation of the increased

1:55:12 ↗ funding in some

1:55:15 ↗ cases we also looked at the Spectrum of

1:55:18 ↗ services across different sectors to

1:55:20 ↗ maintain a balance best starts for kids

1:55:23 ↗ is going to help with funding some of

1:55:26 ↗ the early age prevention

1:55:28 ↗ programs on the other hand Services for

1:55:32 ↗ Seniors are an example of an area which

1:55:35 ↗ is no longer prioritized by the United

1:55:38 ↗ Way and many other

1:55:40 ↗ funders and this at a time when our

1:55:42 ↗ senior population is growing and many

1:55:45 ↗ seniors in our community are feeling the

1:55:47 ↗ financial pinch of increased housing

1:55:51 ↗ costs transitional

1:55:53 ↗ housing is also an area that's being

1:55:56 ↗ hard

1:55:57 ↗ hit and we have some really good

1:56:01 ↗ transitional housing programs that

1:56:04 ↗ deserve to

1:56:07 ↗ survive

1:56:10 ↗ um we tried to make recommendations

1:56:13 ↗ reflecting the commission's

1:56:15 ↗ goals um those goals included limiting

1:56:19 ↗ redundancies in funding

1:56:23 ↗ in this we and uh also another goal was

1:56:27 ↗ providing more meaningful Grant

1:56:30 ↗ amounts prioritizing shelter and

1:56:34 ↗ housing incorporating several new

1:56:36 ↗ programs to address needs not previously

1:56:39 ↗ supported by city

1:56:42 ↗ funding with regard to the

1:56:45 ↗ redundancies we look to see which

1:56:47 ↗ agencies provided identical or extremely

1:56:51 ↗ similar services to local residents and

1:56:54 ↗ tried to select the most effective among

1:56:57 ↗ these for funding rather than

1:56:59 ↗ Distributing the resources among several

1:57:01 ↗ different

1:57:03 ↗ organizations this strategy enabled us

1:57:06 ↗ to fund the easts side friends of

1:57:08 ↗ seniors at a higher amount rather than

1:57:11 ↗ funding both Eastside friends of seniors

1:57:13 ↗ and sound Generations volunteer

1:57:19 ↗ Transportation under providing more

1:57:22 ↗ meaningful grants in other words higher

1:57:25 ↗ amounts for a particular Grant we

1:57:27 ↗ realize that for any Grant application

1:57:29 ↗ there's quite a bit of work involved in

1:57:31 ↗ grant writing than in required reporting

1:57:35 ↗ so that in the case of very small Grant

1:57:37 ↗ requests much of the money would have

1:57:39 ↗ been consumed in administrative

1:57:43 ↗ costs this led us to eliminate some

1:57:46 ↗ worthy organizations with the hope that

1:57:48 ↗ they would easily find this funding

1:57:50 ↗ elsewhere

1:57:53 ↗ but it allowed us to make more

1:57:54 ↗ meaningful grants to some good

1:57:56 ↗ organizations whose ability to provide

1:57:58 ↗ the needed Services has been limited by

1:58:01 ↗ inadequate

1:58:04 ↗ funding third we prioritized shelter and

1:58:07 ↗ housing because they are so critical to

1:58:11 ↗ well-being keeping people housed

1:58:13 ↗ rehousing those who are without

1:58:16 ↗ shelter and providing safe shelter to

1:58:19 ↗ those still waiting for housing that

1:58:21 ↗ they can afford are vital to maintaining

1:58:25 ↗ a healthy stable community no one can

1:58:29 ↗ Thrive without a stable

1:58:32 ↗ home um fourth incorporating several new

1:58:36 ↗ programs to address needs not previously

1:58:39 ↗ supported by city funding these included

1:58:42 ↗ Employment Services Behavioral Health

1:58:45 ↗ Services for adults and day Center

1:58:47 ↗ Services for Families experiencing

1:58:51 ↗ homelessness do you have any

1:58:54 ↗ questions are there questions of

1:58:56 ↗ Elizabeth or Jerry and your voice held

1:58:59 ↗ out up pretty good Elizabeth Halls

1:59:04 ↗ helps council member batist followed by

1:59:07 ↗ council member winterstein I do I got a

1:59:10 ↗ a couple of questions for you but first

1:59:12 ↗ of all I just wanted to thank uh all of

1:59:15 ↗ the members of the Human Services

1:59:17 ↗ Commission and the city staff that have

1:59:19 ↗ worked so hard on the Human Service is

1:59:22 ↗ Grant recommendations I see a lot of the

1:59:25 ↗ uh commission members here tonight and

1:59:27 ↗ thank you for coming and for spending

1:59:30 ↗ all of this time after your many

1:59:32 ↗ meetings that you have been through um

1:59:35 ↗ this is an incredibly in-depth and time

1:59:38 ↗ consuming process that the commission

1:59:40 ↗ goes through and the thoughtful

1:59:42 ↗ deliberation that goes along with this

1:59:44 ↗ review really um I want to applaud that

1:59:48 ↗ and really point that out and and thank

1:59:50 ↗ you for your time and your and your

1:59:52 ↗ service to the city um I also wanted to

1:59:55 ↗ say before I ask a couple of questions

1:59:58 ↗ that I'm in full support of the

1:59:59 ↗ identified funding targets uh to help

2:00:02 ↗ the city achieve their goal of Human

2:00:04 ↗ Services grant funding at $10 per capita

2:00:08 ↗ on an annual basis with the additional

2:00:10 ↗ allocation for homelessness services and

2:00:13 ↗ as Elizabeth spoke to um the targeted

2:00:18 ↗ funding that is now uh going on through

2:00:20 ↗ some of the larger aen gencies is um

2:00:23 ↗ having an impact with some of the the

2:00:26 ↗ groups and the programs um that that

2:00:29 ↗ need that funding and um after spending

2:00:33 ↗ a few years on the Human Services

2:00:35 ↗ Commission myself and uh going through

2:00:38 ↗ these tough deliberations and there's

2:00:40 ↗ never enough money and there's all all

2:00:43 ↗ always um applicants that um do a great

2:00:47 ↗ job and it's such a tough uh decision

2:00:50 ↗ that has to be made

2:00:52 ↗ um so this was the first time that you

2:00:55 ↗ used the adoption of the goal areas um

2:00:59 ↗ in the process and I was just wondering

2:01:02 ↗ I'd like to hear feedback on how you

2:01:04 ↗ feel it impacted the process this

2:01:07 ↗ year do you want to address that one go

2:01:10 ↗ ahead I'll step in after I can

2:01:13 ↗ go no thank you for the question the uh

2:01:16 ↗ uh this was my uh first uh first round

2:01:19 ↗ of deliberations and so I don't have a

2:01:21 ↗ historic iCal context however uh my

2:01:24 ↗ experience in working with the goal

2:01:26 ↗ areas was helpful and that it allowed us

2:01:28 ↗ to stay on point somewhat as we tried to

2:01:31 ↗ filter through the the diverse kinds of

2:01:34 ↗ applicants that we received uh having uh

2:01:37 ↗ City staff and the city provide the

2:01:39 ↗ commission uh some guidance ahead of

2:01:41 ↗ time in towards what the uh uh how to

2:01:47 ↗ interpret the mission of the city in

2:01:48 ↗ terms of its priorities for Human

2:01:50 ↗ Services was helpful um when we uh

2:01:53 ↗ actually Ed the five uh goal areas uh to

2:01:56 ↗ organize uh and cluster those

2:01:58 ↗ applications some of those clusters had

2:02:01 ↗ upwards of 20 applicants others had as

2:02:03 ↗ few as five and and that was determined

2:02:07 ↗ not by the clustering so much as it was

2:02:09 ↗ by the kinds of applicants that we

2:02:11 ↗ received uh we took that into

2:02:13 ↗ consideration um uh not balancing by

2:02:16 ↗ number of applicants but again looking

2:02:18 ↗ towards what those applicants

2:02:20 ↗ individually would be able to serve

2:02:22 ↗ both to that goal area but then how

2:02:24 ↗ those goal areas would overlap and try

2:02:26 ↗ to give some sort of a comprehensive

2:02:28 ↗ support to the city's broader Human

2:02:31 ↗ Service agenda um and I don't know

2:02:33 ↗ Martha if you wanted to add anything

2:02:35 ↗ else you were have maybe the history of

2:02:37 ↗ setting up those goal areas so sure um

2:02:40 ↗ so those goal areas uh formerly were

2:02:42 ↗ used by United Way of King County

2:02:44 ↗ actually and have been adopted by cities

2:02:46 ↗ of Belleview Redmond and Kirkland and so

2:02:49 ↗ one of the kind of benefits that we were

2:02:52 ↗ hoping to realize and I think we did in

2:02:55 ↗ the process was with so many

2:02:57 ↗ applications being able to more quickly

2:02:59 ↗ kind of recognize similar programs and

2:03:02 ↗ compare um so to Elizabeth's point at

2:03:04 ↗ looking okay we have two volunteer

2:03:06 ↗ Transportation programs right so let's

2:03:08 ↗ call that out early on and take that

2:03:10 ↗ into consideration um rather than

2:03:12 ↗ looking at these applications kind of in

2:03:14 ↗ isolation isolation from each

2:03:18 ↗ other and one more question I I did see

2:03:21 ↗ that you have some uh some new agencies

2:03:25 ↗ that were funding funded that was really

2:03:27 ↗ exciting to hear um some of the

2:03:30 ↗ testimony tonight um but also a few

2:03:33 ↗ long-term local programs that had been

2:03:36 ↗ funded in the past that were not funded

2:03:40 ↗ uh during this round um is there um do

2:03:43 ↗ you uh have you thought about following

2:03:46 ↗ up with those groups since this is a new

2:03:49 ↗ process and sort of a different way of

2:03:53 ↗ going

2:03:54 ↗ about the funding yes absolutely and

2:03:56 ↗ especially with the change in the

2:03:58 ↗ commissions process we tried to provide

2:04:00 ↗ a lot of information up front in the

2:04:02 ↗ application process so these

2:04:03 ↗ applications actually opened in February

2:04:05 ↗ or March um and so we tried to provide

2:04:08 ↗ some lead information um with the new

2:04:12 ↗ expectations that we had from our

2:04:14 ↗ process so the city's put together a

2:04:15 ↗ data workshop for applicants and

2:04:18 ↗ provided two uh application workshops

2:04:21 ↗ where each City could kind of speak

2:04:22 ↗ specifically to what they were looking

2:04:24 ↗ for in applications and provide guidance

2:04:26 ↗ to applicants um so staff um or I made

2:04:30 ↗ myself available to applicants ahead of

2:04:32 ↗ time to review applications give

2:04:34 ↗ pointers because again we were

2:04:36 ↗ introducing some new elements in our

2:04:37 ↗ process um and so wanted to provide um

2:04:41 ↗ as much help and guidance as possible to

2:04:43 ↗ to our nonprofits um and so to speak so

2:04:46 ↗ there are six organizations um that are

2:04:49 ↗ currently receiving funding that haven't

2:04:50 ↗ been recommended for the next round um

2:04:53 ↗ and so all of the applicants received an

2:04:56 ↗ update about the process and two of them

2:04:59 ↗ um two of those six have already reached

2:05:00 ↗ out um and so we've had an opportunity

2:05:03 ↗ to to speak um about you know what

2:05:06 ↗ changed the process and um factors that

2:05:11 ↗ produced this package of recommendations

2:05:13 ↗ that didn't include their

2:05:14 ↗ organization okay thank you again for

2:05:17 ↗ all your hard work on

2:05:19 ↗ this council member winterstein thank

2:05:22 ↗ you I want to Echo council member batis

2:05:24 ↗ um um kudos to the commission I know

2:05:27 ↗ it's a lot of hard work and I I always

2:05:29 ↗ felt that um if every one of our citizen

2:05:32 ↗ volunteers brought the same level of

2:05:34 ↗ passion uh to their work that members of

2:05:37 ↗ the Human Service Commission do then uh

2:05:39 ↗ it would be a different place that we

2:05:41 ↗ live into I'm really very grateful for

2:05:43 ↗ the passion and the commitment for all

2:05:45 ↗ for from everybody on the commission I

2:05:47 ↗ do have one just kind of kind of house

2:05:49 ↗ cleaning question as much as anything in

2:05:51 ↗ our packet material and there's an

2:05:53 ↗ exhibit B that's part of of this agenda

2:05:55 ↗ Bill and and I'm I'm somewhat confused

2:05:57 ↗ by the headings of that table um it says

2:06:00 ↗ 2016 funding and then

2:06:02 ↗ 201718 annual request so in 2016 is the

2:06:07 ↗ second year of a two-year cycle now this

2:06:10 ↗ recommendations

2:06:11 ↗ are uh we're considering our are part of

2:06:14 ↗ a two-year cycle but then it goes on to

2:06:16 ↗ say the 20156 funding level and then the

2:06:20 ↗ um um The increased funding level and I

2:06:24 ↗ just I can't make heads or tails of

2:06:26 ↗ those look at the first one uh food and

2:06:28 ↗ clothing bank 2016 funding 19,000 I look

2:06:31 ↗ two columns over it says 20156 funding

2:06:35 ↗ level 15,000 uh and and then increase

2:06:38 ↗ level 15 well that's less than 19 that

2:06:40 ↗ they were getting right now so and I

2:06:42 ↗ know their recommendation was only 15 so

2:06:44 ↗ or request yes did just help me

2:06:46 ↗ understand those columns better yes so

2:06:48 ↗ back in February March of this year uh

2:06:51 ↗ we came to council to seek a funding

2:06:53 ↗ Target of

2:06:55 ↗ 371,000 but and which Council set we're

2:07:00 ↗ um happy to have but the commission

2:07:02 ↗ recognized that that was a Target um and

2:07:04 ↗ part of a what would become part of a

2:07:06 ↗ proposed budget that um May ultimately

2:07:09 ↗ be adjusted um especially working in

2:07:12 ↗ February and March um right not having

2:07:15 ↗ quite the same forecast that we have now

2:07:18 ↗ um so the commission wanted to be

2:07:20 ↗ prepared and have a set of

2:07:21 ↗ recommendations for that Target but also

2:07:23 ↗ in case that increased funding level um

2:07:27 ↗ was dropped to kind of status quo

2:07:30 ↗ funding level the commission wanted to

2:07:31 ↗ be prepared and not have to kind of go

2:07:33 ↗ back to the drawing board this late in

2:07:35 ↗ the year to develop a new set of

2:07:37 ↗ recommendations so it's really a kind of

2:07:39 ↗ options A and B for those last two

2:07:41 ↗ columns with the commission absolutely

2:07:44 ↗ um recommending The increased funding

2:07:46 ↗ level that aligns with the funding

2:07:48 ↗ Target and what ultimately was included

2:07:50 ↗ in the proposed budget and then to speak

2:07:53 ↗ to the food and clothing bank

2:07:55 ↗ specifically did I not answer the

2:07:57 ↗ question that yeah I just use as an

2:07:59 ↗ example maybe this is mislabeled in this

2:08:01 ↗ table the second the third column says

2:08:03 ↗ the 2015 2016 funding level so sorry so

2:08:06 ↗ that's just um it's an indicator that

2:08:09 ↗ these recommendations total this it'd be

2:08:12 ↗ the same funding level as current so it

2:08:14 ↗ would be

2:08:17 ↗ 2915 plus the targeted funding for

2:08:20 ↗ homeless services so it's like the it's

2:08:22 ↗ like saying the status quo funding

2:08:27 ↗ level okay so you have two sets of

2:08:29 ↗ recommendations yes yeah one if um we

2:08:33 ↗ approve the total amount that we

2:08:35 ↗ originally gave you as a Target and the

2:08:38 ↗ second one is if we uh don't improve

2:08:40 ↗ that in approve that increase and just

2:08:42 ↗ keep the funding level where we have it

2:08:44 ↗ at 2016 okay okay yeah there options A

2:08:48 ↗ and B dep depending on the funding

2:08:50 ↗ amount that we approve okay thank you

2:08:51 ↗ thank

2:08:53 ↗ you other

2:08:55 ↗ questions this is coming back from oh

2:08:58 ↗ council president no I was anticipating

2:09:00 ↗ what the mayor was going to

2:09:02 ↗ say um so um can we just clear up maybe

2:09:07 ↗ it's just for me um this is a two-year

2:09:09 ↗ Grant cycle um and so would the first

2:09:13 ↗ year be 2017 yes and that would be what

2:09:16 ↗ is that's in the agenda Bill the um

2:09:19 ↗ requested amount would be 37 1

2:09:23 ↗ 3715 yes um it's a 2-year Grant

2:09:29 ↗ cycle um tell me what that means I don't

2:09:33 ↗ understand what the process is so we

2:09:34 ↗ only go through the application process

2:09:36 ↗ once every two years okay and so then um

2:09:38 ↗ we'll be putting forward the same

2:09:40 ↗ recommendations next year when budget

2:09:42 ↗ cycle is happening okay but it'll be a

2:09:44 ↗ new agenda Bill

2:09:45 ↗ obviously in a year from now yeah okay

2:09:48 ↗ yeah so you're only committing to 2017

2:09:50 ↗ recommendations

2:09:54 ↗ um and

2:09:55 ↗ then I don't know if there are other

2:09:58 ↗ questions but I did want to um Echo the

2:10:02 ↗ um thank yous for all the work that you

2:10:03 ↗ do it's very much appreciated I know

2:10:06 ↗ it's a many months of work and it's very

2:10:08 ↗ hard work and you're very dedicated in

2:10:10 ↗ it um that's that's very important and

2:10:12 ↗ we thank you the at our budget work

2:10:15 ↗ session last week I mentioned um that I

2:10:18 ↗ would like a spreadsheet that shows all

2:10:20 ↗ of the um agencies or all the

2:10:22 ↗ organizations and agencies I guess that

2:10:26 ↗ um in the budget have there there's

2:10:27 ↗ proposed funding because it's hard for

2:10:29 ↗ us to see um where all of the funding is

2:10:34 ↗ and in one snapshot and um to see where

2:10:38 ↗ um all the different buckets that the

2:10:40 ↗ money comes from we don't have that

2:10:41 ↗ spreadsheet yet which is understandable

2:10:44 ↗ um because that's just that was just

2:10:45 ↗ last Wednesday so I don't know what the

2:10:47 ↗ timeliness is of this agenda bill um

2:10:52 ↗ um if there's some sort of a time um

2:10:55 ↗ time constraint here I'm thinking no

2:10:56 ↗ because it is in the bud budget for next

2:10:58 ↗ year and so if there's not a time

2:11:01 ↗ constraint rather than take a vote

2:11:02 ↗ tonight I was going to um uh make a

2:11:07 ↗ motion to diver the vote on this agenda

2:11:09 ↗ Bill to the December 5th council meeting

2:11:12 ↗ because um that gives us time to have

2:11:15 ↗ our next two budget work sessions and um

2:11:18 ↗ have that spreadsheet so that we have a

2:11:21 ↗ for transparency reasons see all the

2:11:23 ↗ different um agencies and organizations

2:11:25 ↗ that have funding in the budget and uh

2:11:28 ↗ where the funding comes

2:11:31 ↗ from I'm I'm sorry I don't I don't quite

2:11:34 ↗ follow so this we still have to do the

2:11:37 ↗ appropriation as part of the formal

2:11:39 ↗ budget adoption so the the ask in in

2:11:42 ↗ this would

2:11:43 ↗ be um based upon two potential funding

2:11:47 ↗ levels that we would approve the grant

2:11:50 ↗ recommendation a that made by the

2:11:52 ↗ commission so what additional

2:11:53 ↗ information do we are you still looking

2:11:55 ↗ for um

2:11:58 ↗ so I guess then the question first

2:12:01 ↗ before we answer that is if I've

2:12:02 ↗ misunderstood if the mo the recommended

2:12:05 ↗ motion is to approve the grant

2:12:06 ↗ recommendations as presented and so what

2:12:08 ↗ does that technically

2:12:11 ↗ mean that's for the administration Bob

2:12:14 ↗ what does that mean if we were to make

2:12:16 ↗ if we were to vote to approve the Human

2:12:18 ↗ Services Grant recommendations as

2:12:20 ↗ presented

2:12:21 ↗ so

2:12:25 ↗ there's all right got it that time so um

2:12:29 ↗ the uh so it depends on the allocation

2:12:32 ↗ amount so if you end up accepting it at

2:12:33 ↗ the 371 level essentially what you're

2:12:36 ↗ doing is you're uh directing uh the

2:12:39 ↗ administration that the amount that's in

2:12:41 ↗ the budget is essentially okay and so

2:12:43 ↗ you're allocating all the various

2:12:45 ↗ recommendations to the non uh you know

2:12:48 ↗ to the service agencies if you decide

2:12:50 ↗ that you'd like to come in at the same

2:12:52 ↗ amount then what I would suggest is you

2:12:54 ↗ refer that to deliberations because

2:12:56 ↗ you're really cutting the budget by uh

2:12:58 ↗ approximately 35 $40,000 because the

2:13:01 ↗ allocation that's in the in the budget

2:13:04 ↗ is that that that higher number um but

2:13:07 ↗ in essence what you're doing tonight is

2:13:09 ↗ just approving the recommendations to

2:13:11 ↗ the funding for the service levels at

2:13:13 ↗ that

2:13:14 ↗ $371,000 and so then you think that's

2:13:17 ↗ correct no because they've got two

2:13:19 ↗ recommendations in here they've provided

2:13:21 ↗ two recommendations one at the $321

2:13:23 ↗ 500,000 level and the other one at the

2:13:25 ↗ 371 500 so what's and and they have it

2:13:28 ↗ broken out by agency and what amount

2:13:31 ↗ that they would recommend that we Grant

2:13:33 ↗ depending on which one which level we

2:13:35 ↗ actually approve in the future so it

2:13:38 ↗ seems to me the action and the requests

2:13:40 ↗ should we make a motion or as suggested

2:13:43 ↗ here would be this breakout of Grants

2:13:45 ↗ amounts depending on which amount we

2:13:47 ↗ totally fund we would just be accepting

2:13:50 ↗ these Grant amounts per agency that's to

2:13:53 ↗ me that's I don't know what additional

2:13:54 ↗ information we would

2:13:56 ↗ need so this is coming back from

2:13:58 ↗ services safety to do you want to

2:14:02 ↗ comment yes um looking at the language

2:14:05 ↗ of this we have flat funding level and

2:14:07 ↗ increased funding level which as council

2:14:09 ↗ member winterstein pointed out is 321

2:14:12 ↗ versus 371 as I read it it does not

2:14:15 ↗ specify that this evening we would be

2:14:18 ↗ choosing increased funding level it just

2:14:20 ↗ says go with the recommendation or go

2:14:22 ↗ with the uh uh approval of the funding

2:14:26 ↗ recommendations and placement of this

2:14:27 ↗ item under regular business and then

2:14:29 ↗ later that the suggested motion was

2:14:31 ↗ approve the Human Services grant me

2:14:32 ↗ recommendations as presented which

2:14:34 ↗ includes both the flat funding level and

2:14:37 ↗ the increased funding level so I can I

2:14:39 ↗ see the I see the argument that unless

2:14:41 ↗ we specifically change the language

2:14:43 ↗ we're not choosing between the 371 and

2:14:45 ↗ the 321 today but I'm but I am not a

2:14:49 ↗ lawyer I am but a poor engineer you so's

2:14:53 ↗ a lawyer yeah no so well yes but that's

2:14:57 ↗ not why I'm here the um so yes the

2:15:01 ↗ motion um clearly needs to be specifi

2:15:04 ↗ specified which level we would want to

2:15:06 ↗ adopt um that is that is a different

2:15:08 ↗ question um my um issue is that um uh we

2:15:13 ↗ do not have Allin one place all the list

2:15:16 ↗ a spreadsheet if you will of all of the

2:15:19 ↗ organizations SL a agencies um that are

2:15:22 ↗ receiving funding from the budget and so

2:15:25 ↗ you can't go anywhere in the budget and

2:15:27 ↗ and find it you have to flip back and

2:15:29 ↗ forth and if you flip back and forth

2:15:30 ↗ through the three different agenda bills

2:15:32 ↗ we have in the packet tonight um

2:15:34 ↗ different um agencies are mentioned more

2:15:37 ↗ than once and so for transparency

2:15:39 ↗ reasons um I would like to have that

2:15:41 ↗ spreadsheet first which we would have

2:15:45 ↗ after our one or both of our next work

2:15:48 ↗ sessions and if there's no timeliness

2:15:50 ↗ issue um regarding this agenda bill and

2:15:53 ↗ the next agenda bill because I'll be

2:15:54 ↗ asking the same thing possibly um then I

2:15:57 ↗ would um I would prefer to defer the

2:16:00 ↗ vote on this to the December 5th council

2:16:02 ↗ meeting uh it's not because I have any

2:16:03 ↗ issues with the recommendation certainly

2:16:05 ↗ not at this point um it's just a matter

2:16:07 ↗ of getting all of the um um all of the

2:16:11 ↗ funding that's in the budget in one

2:16:13 ↗ place we don't have that

2:16:16 ↗ yet may I ask if the administration

2:16:18 ↗ believes there's any time constraints

2:16:20 ↗ associated with with this that would

2:16:21 ↗ cause a problem by I'm seeing head nods

2:16:24 ↗ now no they're not not

2:16:26 ↗ you I certainly feel as as uh committee

2:16:29 ↗ chair under the measure twice cut once

2:16:32 ↗ concept that if there are council

2:16:34 ↗ members here at the de that have um

2:16:36 ↗ questions before you move forward uh

2:16:38 ↗ clearly you've heard consistent support

2:16:41 ↗ for uh the Human Services Commission and

2:16:44 ↗ I will I have to add as an aside um most

2:16:46 ↗ of you know that my daughter was on the

2:16:48 ↗ Human Services Commission for 3 years

2:16:50 ↗ and she was so inspired her freshman

2:16:52 ↗ year of high school she told me she

2:16:54 ↗ didn't enjoy social studies which you

2:16:56 ↗ can imagine as a politician how that how

2:16:58 ↗ that felt but after three years of

2:17:00 ↗ trudging around her big binder uh she is

2:17:03 ↗ uh uh probably going to major in

2:17:05 ↗ political science

2:17:07 ↗ so such is the power of the Human

2:17:09 ↗ Services Commission having said that um

2:17:11 ↗ I I would certainly support deferring it

2:17:13 ↗ until uh December 5th so would you like

2:17:17 ↗ to make a motion well I I I do know one

2:17:20 ↗ my fellow council members seems to want

2:17:22 ↗ to speak to

2:17:24 ↗ this um I just want to also support the

2:17:26 ↗ December 5th I think there is um uh not

2:17:29 ↗ any reason to not um be able to see the

2:17:32 ↗ entire package um I definitely will be

2:17:35 ↗ supporting uh the increased um funding

2:17:38 ↗ level and and as you go through here

2:17:40 ↗ there is just um a little bit of

2:17:43 ↗ additional help for a lot of agencies

2:17:44 ↗ that really need some additional help

2:17:46 ↗ and thank you to the uh group with your

2:17:50 ↗ very thoughtful deliberation I've sat on

2:17:53 ↗ that committee before and it is really

2:17:55 ↗ difficult to work through all of those

2:17:57 ↗ numbers and all of those agencies and I

2:17:59 ↗ think breaking it down into the five

2:18:01 ↗ different classifications that you did

2:18:03 ↗ this year really would have been very

2:18:05 ↗ helpful in past years trying to

2:18:08 ↗ understand um where all these dollars

2:18:10 ↗ are going um the the increased uh

2:18:14 ↗ funding um it just provides very basic

2:18:18 ↗ needs of shelter and food and and clo

2:18:21 ↗ um so um December 5th I think would

2:18:25 ↗ bring all of the different uh

2:18:28 ↗ possibilities together so that we can

2:18:30 ↗ look at everything at one time um and

2:18:33 ↗ make sure that we are supporting all

2:18:35 ↗ that need it but um I will at this

2:18:38 ↗ moment be supporting the 371 that you've

2:18:40 ↗ got presented

2:18:43 ↗ here Mr Mayor do I need to make a motion

2:18:45 ↗ to to move it to December 5th or someone

2:18:48 ↗ does Okay so

2:18:51 ↗ um so I will move referring agenda Bill

2:18:55 ↗ 7253 I believe it is to the December 5th

2:18:59 ↗ full council meeting under regular

2:19:02 ↗ business second moved in seconded uh

2:19:05 ↗ discussion or additional

2:19:09 ↗ questions yeah I just want to be um I'm

2:19:12 ↗ still not clear to me what additional

2:19:14 ↗ information we think we're going to be

2:19:16 ↗ gathering what beyond what we already

2:19:18 ↗ have so um in two of the agenda bills

2:19:21 ↗ tonight for example there's uh mentioned

2:19:23 ↗ in more than one place of uh different

2:19:25 ↗ organizations um at work for one is

2:19:27 ↗ Village Theater and I think it would be

2:19:30 ↗ um uh like I said for transparency

2:19:34 ↗ reasons to have all in one place a list

2:19:36 ↗ of the organizations and all of the

2:19:37 ↗ funding that they are receiving um or

2:19:40 ↗ are proposed to receive in the budget

2:19:41 ↗ and um from where that funding is is

2:19:45 ↗ coming that's all it's not it's not um

2:19:48 ↗ new it's a compilation of information

2:19:50 ↗ that's spread out over U different genda

2:19:52 ↗ bills and throughout the uh budget

2:19:54 ↗ document that's

2:19:57 ↗ all it seems like it's not too difficult

2:20:00 ↗ for me to find all that information in

2:20:01 ↗ today's packet so we're not so I don't I

2:20:04 ↗ don't have no reason to um I would like

2:20:08 ↗ us to progress and get things done I

2:20:10 ↗ think we've got everything we need for

2:20:11 ↗ the Human Services allocations here um I

2:20:16 ↗ I just getting it all in one together

2:20:18 ↗ place I agree would be visible but I

2:20:20 ↗ haven't heard any

2:20:21 ↗ argument that because we are likely to

2:20:23 ↗ make some changes um and and all I'm

2:20:25 ↗ hearing is support for these Grant

2:20:26 ↗ applications so um we got a lot of

2:20:29 ↗ budget work in front of us it' be good

2:20:30 ↗ to actually check some things off and

2:20:32 ↗ get done so I'm not sure why um we can't

2:20:36 ↗ vote on that this

2:20:39 ↗ evening additional questions or

2:20:45 ↗ discussion seeing none then all those in

2:20:48 ↗ favor of uh deferring a decision to

2:20:54 ↗ December I believe uh uh in order to

2:20:59 ↗ look at a compilation of all of the uh

2:21:04 ↗ nonprofits receiving uh support from the

2:21:07 ↗ city signify by saying I I those

2:21:13 ↗ opposed that carries

2:21:17 ↗ unanimously okay

2:21:22 ↗ moving now to agenda Bill

2:21:25 ↗ 7265 2017 nonprofit

2:21:29 ↗ funding Martha you're still up

2:21:32 ↗ there yes um and so uh like the previous

2:21:36 ↗ agenda bill um this one was at services

2:21:39 ↗ and safety on October

2:21:42 ↗ 27th um and so I defer to you council

2:21:46 ↗ member Mars if you want to if you have

2:21:49 ↗ any remarks so had already given um a

2:21:52 ↗ report on this um to the full council at

2:21:54 ↗ the last Workshop um discussing the the

2:21:57 ↗ one substantive difference between uh

2:22:00 ↗ the administration's recommendation and

2:22:02 ↗ what uh we voted two to one to move

2:22:05 ↗ forward with so I I I'm not sure I have

2:22:07 ↗ much else to add at this moment to it

2:22:11 ↗ okay um and I I don't have much

2:22:14 ↗ additional in the way of remarks to make

2:22:16 ↗ following our the budget session um

2:22:19 ↗ presentation last week so if there are

2:22:21 ↗ questions for staff I'm happy to

2:34:02 ↗ presentation uh our finance Finance

2:34:05 ↗ director uh Jennifer Olen please thank

2:34:09 ↗ you mayor Butler City Council Members

2:34:11 ↗ this agenda Bill item uh is before you

2:34:14 ↗ to consider adoption of an ordinance and

2:34:17 ↗ approval of a resolution pertaining to

2:34:19 ↗ the 20

2:34:20 ↗ 2017 uh proposed property tax levy on

2:34:24 ↗ November 7th the council conducted the

2:34:26 ↗ required public hearing on Revenue

2:34:28 ↗ sources a part of which is information

2:34:31 ↗ about a proposed property tax levy along

2:34:34 ↗ with other Revenue sources that the city

2:34:36 ↗ intends to bring in so to briefly go

2:34:38 ↗ over uh the property tax levy the

2:34:42 ↗ property tax levy is proposed in 2017 to

2:34:45 ↗ increase by the Limited uh 1% this

2:34:48 ↗ equates to a dollar amount of

2:35:01 ↗ $81,400

2:35:02 ↗ million and just a side note to remind

2:35:05 ↗ the council is that there is also a

2:35:06 ↗ voter approved excess debt Levy in the

2:35:09 ↗ amount of $1.6 million the the

2:35:12 ↗ preliminary uh King County Assessor

2:35:15 ↗ assessed valuation uh is over uh eight

2:35:20 ↗ um billion dollars in

2:35:25 ↗ valuation and just to give another look

2:35:27 ↗ at how the property tax levy uh is

2:35:30 ↗ referred to uh this equates to a

2:35:32 ↗ property tax rate uh in 2016 the

2:35:36 ↗ property tax rate for the city of isqua

2:35:38 ↗ specifically was a little over a dollar

2:35:40 ↗ per thousand uh of assessed valuation

2:35:43 ↗ the proposed property tax levy would

2:35:46 ↗ reduce the the tax rate for 20 17 uh to

2:35:51 ↗ about 98 cents per thousand in assessed

2:35:55 ↗ valuation the voter approved excess Levy

2:35:58 ↗ is approximately 19 cents per thousand

2:36:01 ↗ of assessed valuation property tax uh

2:36:04 ↗ valuations have gone up over the past

2:36:06 ↗ three years and and even in the proposed

2:36:09 ↗ year for 2017 is going up about

2:36:15 ↗ 6.5% so again on November 7th after the

2:36:18 ↗ public hearing was conducted on Revenue

2:36:20 ↗ sources the council directed

2:36:21 ↗ Administration to prepare that

2:36:23 ↗ legislation for a 1% increase in the

2:36:26 ↗ general property tax levy AB

2:36:30 ↗ 7277 um provides for the proposed

2:36:34 ↗ ordinance and resolution and the

2:36:37 ↗ recommendation is to approve both of

2:36:39 ↗ those setting the 2017 regular and

2:36:42 ↗ excess

2:36:43 ↗ levies and that concludes my

2:36:45 ↗ presentation I'd be happy to answer any

2:36:47 ↗ questions are there a questions

2:36:51 ↗ very thanks Jennifer was the um assess

2:36:54 ↗ valuation that's included in these

2:36:56 ↗ documents the same as the one that's the

2:36:58 ↗ base in our budget document that we're

2:37:00 ↗ looking

2:37:01 ↗ at uh in these documents we've if we've

2:37:04 ↗ had some minor uh updates because the

2:37:07 ↗ preliminary assessment comes out so

2:37:09 ↗ early in the year we do get another

2:37:11 ↗ preliminary assessment the one that's

2:37:13 ↗ included in your proposed uh documents

2:37:16 ↗ is a minor adjustment but the proposed

2:37:19 ↗ Levy is still proposed at that 81,000

2:37:22 ↗ the dollar amount

2:37:25 ↗ specifically other

2:37:28 ↗ questions council president Goodman I

2:37:31 ↗ would move to approve resolution number

2:37:34 ↗ 2016-

2:37:36 ↗ 19 confirming an increase of the

2:37:38 ↗ property tax levy for the city regular

2:37:40 ↗ property tax for 2017 at a rate of 1%

2:37:43 ↗ over the previous year and adopt

2:37:45 ↗ ordinance number

2:37:47 ↗ 2787 levying The General taxes for the

2:37:50 ↗ city of isqua for the fiscal year

2:37:51 ↗ commencing January 1st 2017 on all

2:37:55 ↗ property both real and personal in said

2:37:57 ↗ city which is subject to taxation for

2:37:59 ↗ the purpose of paying sufficient Revenue

2:38:01 ↗ to carry on the services of said City

2:38:03 ↗ for the ensuing year as required by law

2:38:05 ↗ second moved in seconded uh questions or

2:38:11 ↗ discussion seeing none question question

2:38:15 ↗ sorry so the um the rate in this

2:38:19 ↗ proposed for the um property

2:38:23 ↗ tax is

2:38:25 ↗ 98 that's for the general regular Lev

2:38:28 ↗ the general rate right that's the

2:38:29 ↗ estimated

2:38:30 ↗ rate n and and what would the rate be if

2:38:34 ↗ if we didn't approve

2:38:36 ↗ the that uh this 1%

2:38:39 ↗ increase uh to get into that um that

2:38:42 ↗ minute change uh because we calculate

2:38:46 ↗ the the property tax rate uh with five

2:38:49 ↗ or six decimal points uh that's a number

2:38:52 ↗ I would estimate that it would be more

2:38:54 ↗ like 97

2:38:56 ↗ cents and that's that's only the purpose

2:38:58 ↗ of my question would be it can be very

2:39:01 ↗ deceiving when you hear 1% right it

2:39:04 ↗ sounds like if I'm a property tax bill

2:39:07 ↗ payer in isqua you just approved

2:39:09 ↗ increasing my bill by 1% when in fact

2:39:12 ↗ that's not what's happening it's the

2:39:14 ↗ it's a one we're we're saying we can

2:39:16 ↗ collect 1% more than we did in 200

2:39:19 ↗ 16 uh and yet we're still capped on how

2:39:22 ↗ much because assess values are going up

2:39:25 ↗ um the actual rate that we're charging

2:39:28 ↗ against your property is actually going

2:39:29 ↗ down and so if if um and so um if we did

2:39:35 ↗ not approve the 1%

2:39:38 ↗ increase um the rate would be about

2:39:43 ↗ 97 that's that's my estim and the

2:39:45 ↗ proposal in front of us is 098 and I I

2:39:49 ↗ just think that that's um um whereas

2:39:53 ↗ last year it was 1.05 or for 2016 it was

2:39:56 ↗ 1.05 so I just it's it's semantics uh

2:40:00 ↗ and I think um I know I need to hear it

2:40:02 ↗ again and again and again to get it

2:40:03 ↗ straight in my head um that um it's

2:40:06 ↗ really it's it's really a dollar amount

2:40:10 ↗ percentage that we're saying we can

2:40:12 ↗ collect um and be and even though

2:40:15 ↗ because assess values are going up the

2:40:17 ↗ actual rate we're using to calculate

2:40:19 ↗ your dollar amount on your property tax

2:40:21 ↗ bill is actually going down and we're

2:40:23 ↗ discussing the difference between .98

2:40:26 ↗ and 097 uh and that's what we're being

2:40:28 ↗ asked to consider this evening again

2:40:30 ↗ it's it's it's semantics but I think

2:40:32 ↗ it's very very

2:40:34 ↗ important thank

2:40:36 ↗ you thank you other questions or

2:40:42 ↗ discussion seeing none all those in

2:40:45 ↗ favor of approving resolution number

2:40:48 ↗ 2016-19 and ordinance number

2:40:51 ↗ 2787 signify by saying I I those opposed

2:40:56 ↗ that carries unanimously moving to

2:40:58 ↗ agenda Bill

2:41:00 ↗ 7247 2017 State Legislative

2:41:05 ↗ agenda this is coming back from council

2:41:10 ↗ member

2:41:16 ↗ Goodman it is okay well it went to went

2:41:19 ↗ to a work session it was and so it went

2:41:23 ↗ to a work session and uh council members

2:41:25 ↗ made um several comments about how they

2:41:27 ↗ would like to revise the legislative

2:41:29 ↗ agenda and we have a um Red Line in here

2:41:34 ↗ that shows the

2:41:35 ↗ changes um and so um I don't know if uh

2:41:38 ↗ Deputy Administrator Emily moon has

2:41:41 ↗ some points to make I guess sure just

2:41:44 ↗ verbalize what those changes were um and

2:41:47 ↗ how the document is organized just for

2:41:49 ↗ uh listeners so we have our top priority

2:41:52 ↗ issues listed on that front page and

2:41:55 ↗ those are meant to be the ones that we

2:41:57 ↗ deem most critical to our ongoing

2:42:00 ↗ operations and uh implementation of the

2:42:02 ↗ community's vision and our lobing

2:42:05 ↗ efforts will be focused around those

2:42:08 ↗ items and then next section is key

2:42:10 ↗ priorities which includes items of

2:42:12 ↗ significance to the city and our other

2:42:15 ↗ partnering uh cities and coalitions and

2:42:18 ↗ then the final section includes subject

2:42:20 ↗ matter groupings of other important

2:42:22 ↗ topics uh that we intend to support or

2:42:26 ↗ oppose or monitor or track and we will

2:42:28 ↗ be joining others in uh efforts to um

2:42:33 ↗ help the legislators understand the

2:42:35 ↗ municipal

2:42:36 ↗ perspective um so after the last work

2:42:40 ↗ session on November 14th the feedback at

2:42:45 ↗ that time from Council Members was to uh

2:42:49 ↗ move the transportation section up into

2:42:53 ↗ the beginning of the document into that

2:42:55 ↗ top priorities section rather than being

2:42:58 ↗ alphabetically listed in the second

2:43:00 ↗ section of the document and so you'll

2:43:02 ↗ see that in the redline version it has

2:43:05 ↗ been moved up and to add some additional

2:43:09 ↗ narrative uh to uh emphasize our

2:43:12 ↗ position on Transportation issues and to

2:43:16 ↗ advocate for more and earlier State and

2:43:21 ↗ Regional improvements that would benefit

2:43:22 ↗ the

2:43:23 ↗ city second recommendation was to add a

2:43:26 ↗ support statement for the fish

2:43:28 ↗ hatchery's Capital request and the third

2:43:32 ↗ was to emphasize the city's support for

2:43:34 ↗ increased share of marijuana Revenue

2:43:37 ↗ something similar to what we get for

2:43:39 ↗ liquor revenues and then at a subsequent

2:43:43 ↗ Council

2:43:44 ↗ leadership uh conversation it was also

2:43:46 ↗ recommended that we include a statement

2:43:48 ↗ about the need for the growth management

2:43:50 ↗ act to include Revenue means to address

2:43:52 ↗ Regional traffic impacts and so we have

2:43:56 ↗ added that

2:43:58 ↗ statement as well so we're all shaking

2:44:01 ↗ our heads because nobody can recall that

2:44:03 ↗ subsequent Council leadership

2:44:05 ↗ conversation maybe we're all just get

2:44:08 ↗ full but it this recommendation or the

2:44:12 ↗ suggestion sounded familiar but it

2:44:14 ↗ almost sounded like maybe it came at the

2:44:15 ↗ work session or I don't remember but it

2:44:19 ↗ wasn't at Council leadership I

2:44:22 ↗ recall I thought it was leadership was

2:44:25 ↗ it I have a very very between the work

2:44:27 ↗ session and Leadership

2:44:29 ↗ Rec sure so that would mean it wasn't

2:44:32 ↗ discussed by the full Council

2:44:35 ↗ right and that's why we wanted to

2:44:37 ↗ highlight it just because it wasn't

2:44:39 ↗ discussed before the full

2:44:42 ↗ body are there

2:44:45 ↗ questions it's like Paul has one well

2:44:48 ↗ procedurally what you want to make a

2:44:49 ↗ let's I'll make a motion and then we can

2:44:51 ↗ discuss the content I'd like to move to

2:44:53 ↗ approve the city's final 2017

2:44:55 ↗ legislative

2:44:56 ↗ agenda second moved and seconded uh

2:45:00 ↗ questions or

2:45:02 ↗ discussion all so I I do remember uh

2:45:06 ↗ during the work session some kind of

2:45:07 ↗ comment about growth management I don't

2:45:09 ↗ remember the details but I was kind of

2:45:11 ↗ surprised what showed up here because it

2:45:12 ↗ gets a very specific ask about would

2:45:14 ↗ suggest expanded use of impact and mitig

2:45:18 ↗ mitigation fees or other Revenue sources

2:45:20 ↗ to address Regional traffic

2:45:22 ↗ impacts um that's that's a specific and

2:45:26 ↗ if anybody can help me remember having

2:45:30 ↗ discussed that um I'm a

2:45:34 ↗ little I'm a little bit concerned about

2:45:36 ↗ that because

2:45:38 ↗ um it

2:45:41 ↗ presumes it does say as the legislature

2:45:44 ↗ contemplates the

2:45:46 ↗ idea contemplates the idea a of a

2:45:49 ↗ commission to do a comprehensive review

2:45:51 ↗ of the GMA and make

2:45:54 ↗ recommendations so it kind of okay if

2:45:56 ↗ you're going to go in there and make a

2:45:57 ↗ tweak what we want to do is support um

2:46:01 ↗ these changes for expanded use of impact

2:46:04 ↗ and mitigation fees or other Revenue

2:46:06 ↗ sources to address Regional traffic

2:46:10 ↗ impacts so I I I'm not an ex after

2:46:15 ↗ tonight's presentation I'm not quite at

2:46:17 ↗ the Freshman level yeah of

2:46:19 ↗ GMA U but the um and I re and but the

2:46:26 ↗ um this

2:46:28 ↗ idea that

2:46:33 ↗ um yeah I guess I'm not familiar enough

2:46:35 ↗ with this topic it suggests that there's

2:46:37 ↗ this GMA includes the impact fee and

2:46:39 ↗ mitigation

2:46:41 ↗ fees uh and other Revenue sources so it

2:46:44 ↗ just seems like it's a big ask and I

2:46:46 ↗ don't know could you just break it down

2:46:48 ↗ a little bit for me what am I missing

2:46:49 ↗ what do I not know about GMA that I

2:46:51 ↗ should know to understand that

2:46:54 ↗ request keep forgetting hit the button

2:46:56 ↗ tonight so it really comes back to the

2:46:58 ↗ whole conversation we had around

2:46:59 ↗ concurrency where essentially you can

2:47:01 ↗ charge for trips uh that either reside

2:47:04 ↗ to or um you know originate from or uh

2:47:09 ↗ in in your community yep the trip bank

2:47:11 ↗ so what you can't uh which you have to

2:47:14 ↗ account for but you can't get any

2:47:16 ↗ mitigation revenue for is um p through

2:47:19 ↗ traffic and so one of the conversation

2:47:21 ↗ points and we talked about it when uh

2:47:23 ↗ the mayor testified at Olympia is you

2:47:26 ↗ know if there was an opportunity to

2:47:28 ↗ somehow capture the impact of pass

2:47:30 ↗ through traffic and that gets done a lot

2:47:32 ↗ of in a lot of ways in um the traffic

2:47:36 ↗ mitigation analysis that development has

2:47:38 ↗ to put forward to the local community to

2:47:40 ↗ capture that you know some type of fee

2:47:43 ↗ Revenue that would go back to the

2:47:45 ↗ communities that are impacted by that

2:47:47 ↗ Regional traffic

2:47:49 ↗ um that uh Gma should you know have some

2:47:52 ↗ way to capture for that potential

2:47:53 ↗ Revenue because right now it's only

2:47:55 ↗ origination and destination

2:48:01 ↗ to I have a slightly different uh

2:48:04 ↗ recollection of it I do remember what

2:48:07 ↗ you're speaking about where the mayor's

2:48:08 ↗ testimony was but I'm not sure when we

2:48:11 ↗ were talking about it that my intent was

2:48:13 ↗ to collect impact fees from others to

2:48:17 ↗ construct roads in isqua to carry that

2:48:19 ↗ traffic it was more about how are we

2:48:22 ↗ going to connect the the cities how do

2:48:25 ↗ we pay for the roads that connect the

2:48:27 ↗ cities when the cities are managing

2:48:29 ↗ their growth but the roads in between

2:48:31 ↗ aren't getting built so it wasn't to get

2:48:33 ↗ money to make Newport Way five Lanes in

2:48:35 ↗ town or Sunset W five Lanes in town

2:48:39 ↗ so I'm I'm a little fuzzy on our

2:48:41 ↗ conversation too exactly what this

2:48:43 ↗ language should be or what this language

2:48:46 ↗ means thought

2:48:54 ↗ as I look at the language and I did

2:48:57 ↗ testify uh at the uh opening hearing of

2:49:01 ↗ the work uh of taking a look at the

2:49:06 ↗ growth management act message was very

2:49:09 ↗ very clear that infrastructure was not

2:49:11 ↗ keeping up with the growth uh occurring

2:49:16 ↗ in cities and much of that was Regional

2:49:19 ↗ tra pass through traffic as I read this

2:49:23 ↗ it says that uh uh as Washington State

2:49:29 ↗ Legislature contemplates any changes to

2:49:31 ↗ the growth management act uh isqua would

2:49:36 ↗ support recommendations that would

2:49:38 ↗ expand the use of impact or mitigation

2:49:41 ↗ fees or another Revenue source to

2:49:44 ↗ address Regional traffic impact

2:49:49 ↗ and that to

2:49:51 ↗ me uh could very easily be understood to

2:49:56 ↗ mean between isqua and Covington or the

2:50:01 ↗ isqua Hobart Road or some

2:50:06 ↗ other road that

2:50:09 ↗ connects jurisdictions that are growing

2:50:12 ↗ very very rapidly because no one is

2:50:14 ↗ taking into

2:50:16 ↗ consideration any change is for highways

2:50:19 ↗ of Statewide significance connecting

2:50:23 ↗ those growth

2:50:25 ↗ centers so thank you for that um here's

2:50:28 ↗ my here's my concern about this

2:50:31 ↗ is is we're saying we're for something

2:50:34 ↗ and I can just see you know there's I

2:50:36 ↗ believe there's a lot of people out

2:50:38 ↗ there that really want to just

2:50:39 ↗ completely disassemble GMA oh you want

2:50:41 ↗ some revenue on those rural roads that

2:50:43 ↗ are giving you pass through traffic I

2:50:45 ↗ tell you let's push the line out to the

2:50:47 ↗ crest of the Cascades mhm and you know

2:50:49 ↗ what we can get Revenue cuz we can

2:50:50 ↗ develop the Hobart Valley there we can

2:50:52 ↗ get you some mitigation fees passed

2:50:54 ↗ through I'm not sure I'd be willing to

2:50:56 ↗ make that trade-off now that's a

2:50:57 ↗ scenario I'm not saying I know is going

2:50:59 ↗ to happen but I can see us finding

2:51:01 ↗ ourselves kind of in that oh you want re

2:51:03 ↗ you want some additional Revenue well I

2:51:05 ↗ guess guess how we can generate that for

2:51:07 ↗ you support what we want to do is really

2:51:09 ↗ gut the GMA and that that's a that's

2:51:13 ↗ kind of a worst case scenario but this

2:51:15 ↗ stated this without any caveats you know

2:51:18 ↗ as you know it added in there something

2:51:20 ↗ like I like you know as long as we don't

2:51:22 ↗ you know move the line

2:51:24 ↗ or significantly reduce the impact of

2:51:27 ↗ GMA I I I um I don't know how you would

2:51:30 ↗ say that but this is this is this is an

2:51:33 ↗ ask which just begs for a counter offer

2:51:37 ↗ and and and I'm not so sure there's any

2:51:39 ↗ counter offers out there that we're

2:51:41 ↗ going to be interested

2:51:44 ↗ in is um does it alleviate concerns um

2:51:49 ↗ because I just kind of want to figure

2:51:51 ↗ out what your concern is um is the

2:51:53 ↗ concern that it says we would look to

2:51:54 ↗ support um and would would it be better

2:51:57 ↗ to replace that language with would

2:51:58 ↗ consider supporting

2:52:01 ↗ recommendations is that is the con is

2:52:03 ↗ the concern that

2:52:05 ↗ it's the effect of the yeah it's almost

2:52:08 ↗ like we're making our bed already wait

2:52:10 ↗ wait wait I don't want to see the whole

2:52:12 ↗ package so uh so is that the concern or

2:52:15 ↗ is it something more something

2:52:16 ↗ substantive in the language

2:52:24 ↗ because it does say that we would

2:52:27 ↗ support something when we don't know

2:52:28 ↗ what it is but if we say we consider

2:52:30 ↗ supporting something that we don't say

2:52:32 ↗ we're supporting it

2:52:33 ↗ yet yeah I don't know stac I guess the

2:52:36 ↗ the thing I'm still trying to figure out

2:52:37 ↗ in my head is at you know at what point

2:52:41 ↗ you know we know the legislature is

2:52:43 ↗ going to be really busy with McClary uh

2:52:45 ↗ but this is going to be item 1A

2:52:49 ↗ the GMA if mlar is one this is going to

2:52:52 ↗ be 1A and I think that there are some

2:52:54 ↗ real forces out there to dramatically

2:52:57 ↗ change which would dramatically change

2:53:00 ↗ our

2:53:01 ↗ region um and it's and we're basically

2:53:04 ↗ going in and saying well you know

2:53:06 ↗ there's something we need out of this

2:53:07 ↗ and I'm I

2:53:08 ↗ don't the point is well taken you know

2:53:11 ↗ we are severely impacted uh by uh trips

2:53:14 ↗ that don't originate or end in the city

2:53:16 ↗ of isqua and um with this language we're

2:53:20 ↗ basically signaling our willingness to

2:53:22 ↗ negotiate terms of the

2:53:24 ↗ GMA um and I'm I'm not comfortable

2:53:27 ↗ enough with with this link I'm not com I

2:53:29 ↗ don't know enough and I I fear um what

2:53:32 ↗ it could signal too

2:53:35 ↗ much so

2:53:38 ↗ um Mar l so I would suggest that if

2:53:42 ↗ there are aspects that are we are 100%

2:53:46 ↗ behind in the GMA such as believe beling

2:53:48 ↗ that the planned growth should occur on

2:53:50 ↗ the urban growth Urban side of the urban

2:53:53 ↗ growth line and that the urban growth

2:53:54 ↗ line is drawn in the right place then we

2:53:55 ↗ should just say that here's what we like

2:53:58 ↗ we based on the fact that uh these

2:54:01 ↗ planning policies make sense and are the

2:54:03 ↗ best use of land and the urban growth

2:54:05 ↗ boundaries is in the correct place to

2:54:08 ↗ support the future growth of the Area

2:54:10 ↗ Regional roads are not getting improved

2:54:12 ↗ and isqua would consider da da da da da

2:54:14 ↗ because to me there is an aspect right

2:54:16 ↗ now of growth management that is failing

2:54:19 ↗ because of the silo mentality of cities

2:54:22 ↗ just manage growth within their

2:54:23 ↗ boundaries nobody's in charge of what's

2:54:25 ↗ in between the cities and so I think we

2:54:28 ↗ just say what we believe what we're 100%

2:54:31 ↗ behind but we need this issue

2:54:34 ↗ resolved so if I may so um so I I don't

2:54:39 ↗ disagree with you I thought that was an

2:54:40 ↗ interesting comment from the gentleman

2:54:41 ↗ earlier this evening that basically said

2:54:43 ↗ oh you know what growth management

2:54:44 ↗ didn't contemplate that said which is

2:54:49 ↗ begs to be addressed so I think the

2:54:51 ↗ issue that you're raising and we've been

2:54:54 ↗ discussing in other circles as well it

2:54:55 ↗ came up at the growth management po uh

2:54:58 ↗ planning board as well absolutely um and

2:55:01 ↗ so maybe um so I mean that topic needs

2:55:05 ↗ to be

2:55:06 ↗ contemplated so so I'm not you know

2:55:08 ↗ we're we are um we're going to get like

2:55:11 ↗ our second lesson in growth Management

2:55:14 ↗ in a couple weeks and I'm just wondering

2:55:17 ↗ and and I'm not sure I mean you made a

2:55:18 ↗ really strong statement things that

2:55:19 ↗ we're 100% certain about and I

2:55:23 ↗ um uh I'm not I don't know what I'm 100%

2:55:26 ↗ it's just an area where there i' I'm

2:55:28 ↗ still have um low on the learning curve

2:55:31 ↗ um and so I'm just wondering if for our

2:55:34 ↗ legislative agenda purposes I know we'd

2:55:37 ↗ like to have kind of our message you

2:55:40 ↗ know uh grooved earlier the better but

2:55:43 ↗ you I'm wondering if um in this

2:55:45 ↗ particular area under further uh

2:55:48 ↗ consideration especially as we're you

2:55:50 ↗ know going to get some more information

2:55:52 ↗ um to follow on like the one we had this

2:55:55 ↗ evening that maybe we can come back and

2:55:56 ↗ address this part I don't know I I I

2:55:58 ↗ would kind of prefer at this point to to

2:56:00 ↗ not include that bullet that was added

2:56:04 ↗ uh and I would accept the rest of it but

2:56:06 ↗ then with the idea that if we wanted to

2:56:08 ↗ have smarter better

2:56:10 ↗ language um that we still work on

2:56:14 ↗ that very yeah and I guess I would

2:56:17 ↗ suggest I would accept it with the the

2:56:19 ↗ way it's written now because I think

2:56:21 ↗ like you said it's issue 1A I think it's

2:56:24 ↗ kind of it would be odd for us not to

2:56:27 ↗ have an opinion on it especially even if

2:56:29 ↗ it's not exactly the opinion we're going

2:56:31 ↗ to end up with but some language in here

2:56:33 ↗ that says we are severely impacted by

2:56:35 ↗ this they're talking about it this year

2:56:37 ↗ here's our starting position and I would

2:56:40 ↗ rather approve the um entire agenda with

2:56:43 ↗ that language and if we want to continue

2:56:45 ↗ to work on it at a work session or

2:56:47 ↗ something to fine tune that message fine

2:56:49 ↗ but I I don't want to pull it out

2:56:50 ↗ because it's almost like we're not

2:56:52 ↗ paying

2:56:53 ↗ attention

2:56:55 ↗ po so I funny I kind of read this I

2:56:59 ↗ think maybe a little bit differently

2:57:00 ↗ than than other people do um we don't

2:57:03 ↗ know what the conversation about the GMA

2:57:06 ↗ is is going to look like when when

2:57:08 ↗ Unleashed uh what political forces will

2:57:11 ↗ wind up being engaged in this

2:57:13 ↗ conversation and it's Titanic herculian

2:57:17 ↗ forces much larger than than our city

2:57:20 ↗ but I think as a statement of principle

2:57:22 ↗ I read this as a statement of principle

2:57:23 ↗ the idea that the general idea is that

2:57:27 ↗ we would suggest expanded use of impact

2:57:29 ↗ in mitigation fees or other Revenue

2:57:30 ↗ sources to address Regional traffic

2:57:32 ↗ impacts I want to address Regional

2:57:34 ↗ traffic impacts and I think money is the

2:57:37 ↗ way that you address Regional traffic

2:57:39 ↗ impacts and so regardless of where this

2:57:41 ↗ conversation goes regardless of where it

2:57:43 ↗ lands and I sure hope it's in the end

2:57:46 ↗ having strong growth man management

2:57:48 ↗ control um because I think Seattle has

2:57:50 ↗ benefited the the King County not even

2:57:53 ↗ King County pet sound has benefited

2:57:55 ↗ immensely from having um strong controls

2:57:57 ↗ on growth um but uh this to me is a is a

2:58:01 ↗ statement of principles that we can use

2:58:03 ↗ to craft uh our responses as this as

2:58:06 ↗ this moves along so I I would prefer to

2:58:09 ↗ leave it

2:58:10 ↗ in other questions or

2:58:15 ↗ discussion make sure everybody else who

2:58:17 ↗ wants to comment is our already had an

2:58:23 ↗ opportunity I guess I I would say um as

2:58:27 ↗ we're talking about the language um that

2:58:32 ↗ putting going back to that um is a qua

2:58:35 ↗ would

2:58:36 ↗ consider supporting recommendations um

2:58:39 ↗ would make me more comfortable if we're

2:58:42 ↗ going to go forward with the language um

2:58:45 ↗ I think it's important to to have in but

2:58:48 ↗ I'm still have some of the concerns that

2:58:51 ↗ uh council member winterstein is having

2:58:53 ↗ as well so um at least if we could put

2:58:57 ↗ in consider to support recommendations

2:58:59 ↗ that would make me feel

2:59:05 ↗ better so so I think one of the asks and

2:59:09 ↗ it's reflecting it really well um you

2:59:12 ↗ know good job with the narrative I was

2:59:14 ↗ the one who asked to add that narrative

2:59:16 ↗ around there and that's actually very

2:59:17 ↗ strong I don't think it really gets

2:59:19 ↗ deluded if we pause on that one bullet

2:59:21 ↗ point that narrative it wasn't there

2:59:23 ↗ before it used to read isqua will seek

2:59:26 ↗ to work with its State Legislative

2:59:28 ↗ delegation blah blah blah now it says

2:59:30 ↗ isqua is being confronted by significant

2:59:33 ↗ and mounting congestion much of it

2:59:35 ↗ coming from Regional pass pass through

2:59:37 ↗ traffic it really is very impactful uh

2:59:40 ↗ the way it's written right now and

2:59:41 ↗ that's kind of what I was looking for

2:59:43 ↗ that that narrative be very very strong

2:59:46 ↗ um and and so um

2:59:50 ↗ so I I don't I don't think we're we're

2:59:52 ↗ would be deluding that if we take that

2:59:54 ↗ point out because it's a specific

2:59:56 ↗ remedy uh and um I'm not I'm not I don't

3:00:02 ↗ think we're ready for

3:00:03 ↗ that so so

3:00:07 ↗ um so I just I'm going to handle it you

3:00:10 ↗ know procedurally if I may there's a

3:00:12 ↗ motion uh on the table uh additional

3:00:16 ↗ discussion or question

3:00:21 ↗ to propose amending the language does it

3:00:24 ↗ a well the motion is to approve the

3:00:25 ↗ city's final 2017 legislative agenda is

3:00:29 ↗ the motion right but to

3:00:32 ↗ propose amended language well if someone

3:00:35 ↗ would like to amend the motion I amend I

3:00:39 ↗ would like to amend the motion like to

3:00:41 ↗ amend the motion to change

3:00:44 ↗ um two things one is

3:00:48 ↗ is

3:00:50 ↗ um in the first line where it says do I

3:00:54 ↗ would strike do and put to

3:00:56 ↗ perform and in the second line I would

3:00:58 ↗ strike would look to

3:01:01 ↗ support I would change that consider

3:01:06 ↗ supporting

3:01:14 ↗ second so the discussion on the

3:01:17 ↗ amendment did you just read it through

3:01:20 ↗ yeah as the legislature contemplates the

3:01:22 ↗ idea of a commission to perform a

3:01:24 ↗ comprehensive review of the growth

3:01:26 ↗ management act and make recommendations

3:01:28 ↗ isqua would consider supporting

3:01:31 ↗ recommendations that would suggest

3:01:32 ↗ expanded use of impact and mitigation

3:01:35 ↗ fees or another Revenue source to

3:01:37 ↗ address Regional traffic

3:01:45 ↗ impacts discussion on the amendment

3:01:53 ↗ all those in favor of approving the

3:01:57 ↗ amendment as stated signify by saying I

3:02:00 ↗ I it was opposed that carries

3:02:04 ↗ unanimously

3:02:08 ↗ so approve the city's final 2017

3:02:11 ↗ legislative agenda as

3:02:13 ↗ amended is uh the motion that is before

3:02:17 ↗ you

3:02:19 ↗ discussion on uh a motion as amended

3:02:27 ↗ yes oh yeah so so uh the um we amended

3:02:32 ↗ the not the motion we amended the actual

3:02:35 ↗ um agenda itself um so I appreciate that

3:02:40 ↗ Stacy I mean it certainly it it it goes

3:02:44 ↗ up to I think it goes up to a line I I I

3:02:47 ↗ I

3:02:48 ↗ but um there's so much Unknown about all

3:02:51 ↗ of this and um it is definitely less of

3:02:56 ↗ a commitment you know with the with the

3:02:58 ↗ change language so so

3:03:03 ↗ um yeah so that's why I did support the

3:03:05 ↗ change language so I just wanted to say

3:03:08 ↗ that that I it's just an area I just as

3:03:11 ↗ we work with our lobbyist and their firm

3:03:13 ↗ um just want to make sure that uh um

3:03:17 ↗ they're very very clear that um there

3:03:21 ↗ are limits to modifications of the GMA

3:03:24 ↗ that I think we'd be interested in and

3:03:25 ↗ so this really just touches upon that

3:03:28 ↗ larger

3:03:29 ↗ topic uh and and maybe we need to

3:03:32 ↗ consider have dial continue to have

3:03:34 ↗ dialogue uh you know with our lobbyists

3:03:37 ↗ um and all of those who are forwarding

3:03:39 ↗ this agenda and and maybe we need to

3:03:41 ↗ continue the conversation ourselves uh

3:03:44 ↗ when it comes to GMA so that's just my

3:03:46 ↗ comments for the administration and

3:03:48 ↗ those of us that will be working this

3:03:50 ↗ topic going

3:03:51 ↗ forward St and as soon as the

3:03:53 ↗ legislature decides whether or not it's

3:03:55 ↗ going to establish a commission um and

3:03:58 ↗ once it if it does then we can

3:04:01 ↗ vigilantly follow

3:04:03 ↗ it we

3:04:06 ↗ will other questions or

3:04:09 ↗ discussion being none and all those of

3:04:12 ↗ uh in favor of approving the city's

3:04:15 ↗ final 2017 legislative agenda is amended

3:04:18 ↗ signify by saying I I was opposed that

3:04:22 ↗ carries unanimously moving now to agenda

3:04:27 ↗ Bill

3:04:28 ↗ 7286 amendments to

3:04:31 ↗ IMC

3:04:32 ↗ [Music]

3:04:35 ↗ 2-04 or

3:04:38 ↗ 2.4.3 Committee of the whole Council

3:04:41 ↗ meetings uh this is

3:04:52 ↗ in 2013 the council moved from monthly

3:04:55 ↗ Committee of the whole meetings to a

3:04:57 ↗ quarterly scheduled since then the

3:04:59 ↗ meetings have been held the fourth

3:05:01 ↗ Tuesday of March June September and

3:05:03 ↗ December as established in the isqua

3:05:07 ↗ municipal code however due to the

3:05:09 ↗ holiday schedule this routinely causes

3:05:12 ↗ the December meeting to be celled

3:05:14 ↗ cancelled proposed ordinance amends the

3:05:17 ↗ IMC to maintain the courtly format but

3:05:20 ↗ shift the meetings to the months of

3:05:23 ↗ January April July and

3:05:26 ↗ oober uh this

3:05:29 ↗ is coming back from the

3:05:33 ↗ administration uh Stacy I would move to

3:05:35 ↗ adopt ordinance

3:05:37 ↗ number 2788 amending section

3:05:42 ↗ 2.4.0 of the isqua municipal code

3:05:44 ↗ relating to Committee of the whole

3:05:46 ↗ Council meetings second

3:05:48 ↗ discussion Ola um my question is did we

3:05:53 ↗ look at there's a third

3:05:55 ↗ option my concern is that um many years

3:05:59 ↗ we do not have the new Council

3:06:02 ↗ constituted in January it occurs late in

3:06:05 ↗ January

3:06:06 ↗ or uh sorry committee sorry let me back

3:06:09 ↗ up as committee yeah the council's known

3:06:12 ↗ of course because there's elections uh

3:06:14 ↗ but we don't have uh necessarily

3:06:18 ↗ trying to think leadership do we always

3:06:19 ↗ have leadership decided that quickly and

3:06:23 ↗ this just affects Committee of the whole

3:06:24 ↗ meetings I understand but I if we didn't

3:06:27 ↗ have I'm just trying to remember if we

3:06:29 ↗ always have leadership set up by the

3:06:32 ↗ fourth Tuesday of January because if we

3:06:34 ↗ didn't it wouldn't be clear who would be

3:06:36 ↗ running that meeting I believe the IMC

3:06:40 ↗ says that uh Council leadership will be

3:06:42 ↗ determined early uh at the first meeting

3:06:45 ↗ in January and and uh but it can can be

3:06:50 ↗ amended uh you can suspend the rules and

3:06:53 ↗ have leadership determin early as we are

3:06:57 ↗ doing this year this year right okay

3:07:00 ↗ well then that addresses my concern okay

3:07:03 ↗ and and certainly um it's pretty clear

3:07:06 ↗ that um this is the Least Complicated

3:07:08 ↗ thing on our agenda tonight and uh the

3:07:11 ↗ request was to um put this on the

3:07:13 ↗ regular agenda rather than consent just

3:07:18 ↗ so that it's visible just so that we all

3:07:20 ↗ know um and the public knows so it

3:07:23 ↗ doesn't get buried that the the

3:07:26 ↗ schedule's changing that that was it

3:07:28 ↗ very

3:07:30 ↗ simple any additional discussion or

3:07:32 ↗ questions seeing none then all those in

3:07:36 ↗ favor of adopting resolution number

3:07:39 ↗ 2788 amending section

3:07:43 ↗ 2.4.3 of the IMC relating to Committee

3:07:46 ↗ of the whole meeting ify by saying I I

3:07:49 ↗ those oppos that carries

3:07:51 ↗ unanimously moving now

3:07:54 ↗ to uh regular uh business item

3:07:59 ↗ 9f uh agenda Bill 7219 Gilman Lofts

3:08:03 ↗ three Trails development

3:08:07 ↗ agreement keth is that you wake up you

3:08:12 ↗ know um

3:08:17 ↗ good evening Mr Bear City Council

3:08:20 ↗ um uh so part of um so the city received

3:08:26 ↗ a letter request uh from the property

3:08:30 ↗ owner who spoke earlier this evening um

3:08:34 ↗ and the request was to entertain a

3:08:37 ↗ development

3:08:39 ↗ agreement and that property um is

3:08:42 ↗ currently uh that project is currently

3:08:44 ↗ stopped by the moratorium and so they

3:08:47 ↗ are seeking a development agreement to

3:08:49 ↗ see if there's a pathway for them to

3:08:51 ↗ move forward so the moratorium um and

3:08:56 ↗ the things that are listed as um kind of

3:09:00 ↗ catch points um would not preclude the

3:09:04 ↗ council from entering into a new

3:09:05 ↗ development agreement um now whether or

3:09:08 ↗ not we could actually execute that

3:09:10 ↗ development agreement before potentially

3:09:12 ↗ the moratorium ends I mean that's a

3:09:13 ↗ whole other conversation but I think all

3:09:16 ↗ that's being asked for now is the letter

3:09:19 ↗ is asking for us to start um the

3:09:22 ↗ conversation between the city and the

3:09:24 ↗ applicant for a development agreement

3:09:27 ↗ for kind of the front of that property

3:09:30 ↗ that's next to paga and that includes

3:09:32 ↗ the potential for the traffic signal on

3:09:35 ↗ on Gilman at the three Trails

3:09:37 ↗ Crossing so that would if the council

3:09:40 ↗ wants to do that right now it's it's

3:09:43 ↗ being um the the motion would be to move

3:09:46 ↗ it to land and Shore for a conversation

3:09:49 ↗ at committee level um and then

3:09:51 ↗ ultimately would come back for the full

3:09:52 ↗ Council to decide whether or not um the

3:09:56 ↗ city wants to entertain at least a

3:09:59 ↗ conversation because that's a dedication

3:10:01 ↗ of Staff resources so typically the way

3:10:04 ↗ we've done this in the past has been

3:10:06 ↗ that the council actually

3:10:08 ↗ authorizes the commitment of the

3:10:10 ↗ administration to spend time working on

3:10:12 ↗ a development agreement because they

3:10:14 ↗ typically take a bit of time a bit of

3:10:16 ↗ Staff time to actually work through so

3:10:19 ↗ that's what this first step is is just

3:10:21 ↗ looking for whether or not the council

3:10:23 ↗ wants to direct the administration to

3:10:25 ↗ move forward working on uh a potential

3:10:28 ↗ development agreement with this

3:10:31 ↗ applicant excuse me Lou Keith maybe a

3:10:35 ↗ little more information around um

3:10:38 ↗ development agreements that we are

3:10:41 ↗ currently negotiating that are outside

3:10:44 ↗ of the centralis qu area and also um um

3:10:47 ↗ development agreements that are

3:10:49 ↗ expiring and how that all fits into the

3:10:52 ↗ work plan for next year and then where a

3:10:55 ↗ new development agreement would then be

3:10:57 ↗ prioritized

3:10:58 ↗ [Laughter]

3:11:00 ↗ that um so uh so development agreements

3:11:05 ↗ that we're currently working on now um

3:11:09 ↗ include excuse me two clustered plats um

3:11:12 ↗ one for bergsman one for

3:11:14 ↗ Silverado excuse me

3:11:18 ↗ um the two development agreements that

3:11:21 ↗ are scheduled to end um next year are

3:11:25 ↗ isqua Highlands and Talis um so the

3:11:28 ↗ development agreements for the clustered

3:11:30 ↗ subdivisions um the the scope and scale

3:11:34 ↗ of those are fairly

3:11:36 ↗ straightforward um there's a number of

3:11:38 ↗ things we've already actually sent

3:11:40 ↗ Silverado through development commission

3:11:43 ↗ um it's been through land and Shore a

3:11:45 ↗ number of times I think we have one more

3:11:47 ↗ stop maybe um bergsma uh we've been to

3:11:50 ↗ land insure once it has not been to DC

3:11:53 ↗ yet um so it has kind of its pathway

3:11:56 ↗ ahead of it ending the development

3:11:58 ↗ Agreements are a bigger task for the

3:12:02 ↗ administration um you know we would see

3:12:06 ↗ definitely quite a bit of public

3:12:08 ↗ Outreach over the course of next year um

3:12:11 ↗ to make sure that the property owners

3:12:13 ↗ within those two development agreements

3:12:15 ↗ understand and that goes the way down to

3:12:17 ↗ the individual homeowner understands

3:12:20 ↗ what we're doing and what that means for

3:12:22 ↗ them as Property Owners within those

3:12:24 ↗ areas so there's a lot of Outreach I

3:12:26 ↗ don't think um the outcome will be very

3:12:29 ↗ controversial because I think what we've

3:12:32 ↗ at least talked about at a very high

3:12:34 ↗ level with the council has been

3:12:36 ↗ preserving what's there kind of in

3:12:38 ↗ perpetuity with this next step of zoning

3:12:41 ↗ action um but those things um kind of

3:12:46 ↗ those things are what they are this uh

3:12:50 ↗ again um we don't know what the scope of

3:12:53 ↗ this development agreement with um

3:12:55 ↗ Gilman lofs would be exactly I believe

3:12:58 ↗ it mostly centers around um kind of the

3:13:02 ↗ cost sharing

3:13:04 ↗ proposal uh for the traffic light uh

3:13:07 ↗ that the applicant is wanting the city

3:13:10 ↗ to participate in but it would also you

3:13:13 ↗ know be for them obviously to allow them

3:13:15 ↗ to move forward

3:13:17 ↗ um before the moratorium is lifted bless

3:13:21 ↗ you for the rest of the city so I don't

3:13:24 ↗ know what all else might be in that

3:13:25 ↗ development agreement so part of a

3:13:27 ↗ development agreement as you all know is

3:13:30 ↗ it's an opportunity for the property

3:13:32 ↗ owner in the city to kind of negotiate a

3:13:34 ↗ win-win outcome and so part of that

3:13:37 ↗ conversation and what the council might

3:13:39 ↗ actually perceive as being a win for the

3:13:41 ↗ city don't know yet because we haven't

3:13:43 ↗ done that so but I think you know

3:13:47 ↗ it would take three to six months maybe

3:13:51 ↗ to go through that process with Gilman

3:13:53 ↗ lofs um and I don't see you know most of

3:13:57 ↗ our development agreements tend to be in

3:14:00 ↗ 4 in thick three- ring

3:14:02 ↗ binders this is probably closer to 20 to

3:14:06 ↗ 30 pages Max would be my

3:14:11 ↗ guess so um the agenda Bell is a little

3:14:13 ↗ bit confusing in terms of timing because

3:14:15 ↗ it says um

3:14:18 ↗ um one mention is

3:14:21 ↗ commencing process would commence in

3:14:23 ↗ January 2017 and be brought to the

3:14:25 ↗ council by March

3:14:27 ↗ 17 and then the recommended motion is to

3:14:31 ↗ refer it to the December 1st Landon

3:14:33 ↗ shore on and January 5th and returning

3:14:36 ↗ to full Council on January 17 so

3:14:40 ↗ that's not four to six months so I'm

3:14:44 ↗ just

3:14:46 ↗ wondering which is it I mean what I I

3:14:50 ↗ don't know yet um I mean it's going to

3:14:52 ↗ depend on me the agenda bill but the

3:14:54 ↗ agenda bill is inconsistent so I'm not

3:14:56 ↗ sure so what the agenda bill is asking

3:14:59 ↗ to do is to refer this to land and Shore

3:15:02 ↗ for conversation and then back to the

3:15:05 ↗ council for direction on whether or not

3:15:08 ↗ to move forward with the development

3:15:09 ↗ agreement so it either ends there or

3:15:12 ↗ then we start a development agreement

3:15:14 ↗ process which is what might take through

3:15:16 ↗ 3 to six months to work

3:15:20 ↗ through but we would only do that if if

3:15:23 ↗ you guys authorized us to do that which

3:15:27 ↗ would be at the December 5th council

3:15:29 ↗ meeting in or December whatever the next

3:15:32 ↗ one is after that

3:15:38 ↗ 19th okay

3:15:41 ↗ so is everybody clear okay no so I so it

3:15:48 ↗ you're saying refer it to land and Shore

3:15:50 ↗ for a few for a conversation and then

3:15:53 ↗ what what kind of conversation so the so

3:15:57 ↗ the conversation at land and Shore would

3:15:58 ↗ be whether or not the committee would

3:16:00 ↗ recommend the council move forward with

3:16:04 ↗ a development agreement or not right I

3:16:06 ↗ mean that's the decision that comes out

3:16:07 ↗ of committee move forward or recommend

3:16:12 ↗ to the to you to start working on it

3:16:16 ↗ right not what we we've done before is

3:16:18 ↗ it we've gone to so it comes here and

3:16:21 ↗ then it gets referred for a discussion

3:16:24 ↗ about whether to recommend expending

3:16:28 ↗ resources and then it comes back to the

3:16:29 ↗ full Council and then so I don't recall

3:16:31 ↗ that that seems like an extra step but

3:16:33 ↗ that's okay I mean I'm just making it

3:16:36 ↗ clear there's some unique aspects

3:16:40 ↗ because we're in the middle of a

3:16:41 ↗ moratorium that would be in this

3:16:43 ↗ development agreement that's not would

3:16:45 ↗ be atypical and so I think what Keith is

3:16:47 ↗ saying is he'd like the committee to

3:16:49 ↗ have a conversation around what some of

3:16:51 ↗ those things mean so what do you what

3:16:53 ↗ standard do you vest to when you could

3:16:55 ↗ actually be changing the standards in

3:16:56 ↗ six months um or nine months or 12

3:16:59 ↗ months depending upon what comes out of

3:17:01 ↗ the moratorium work so I think there's a

3:17:02 ↗ lot of issues that are affiliated with

3:17:05 ↗ this da that make it a little unique um

3:17:08 ↗ and I think the director is asking the

3:17:10 ↗ committee to have a conversation around

3:17:12 ↗ some of those issues before it comes

3:17:14 ↗ back to council because it may come back

3:17:15 ↗ and say this is you what we just can't

3:17:18 ↗ come to a conclusion right now and we

3:17:19 ↗ just need to not invest any more time in

3:17:22 ↗ or maybe you know what we think we can

3:17:23 ↗ maybe work through some of these

3:17:25 ↗ standards

3:17:27 ↗ um and depending on what you know how

3:17:29 ↗ that agreement shapes out and they agree

3:17:31 ↗ to Something

3:17:32 ↗ in so I think that's kind of what you're

3:17:34 ↗ saying that's why you're this is a kind

3:17:35 ↗ of a unique step in the process right

3:17:38 ↗ okay thank you for clarifying that that

3:17:40 ↗ I wasn't crazy okay

3:17:47 ↗ other questions or

3:17:50 ↗ discussion so I'm not on Landing Shore

3:17:53 ↗ but uh uh one of the things if if we

3:17:57 ↗ move forward with this this evening is I

3:17:58 ↗ would want Landon Shore to look closely

3:18:00 ↗ at there's a lot on the docket for next

3:18:03 ↗ year and a lot of it runs through Heath

3:18:07 ↗ and I'm sure you're already thinking of

3:18:08 ↗ this and I'm not telling you anything

3:18:09 ↗ you haven't already thought of but um I

3:18:11 ↗ would really I would request that Landon

3:18:13 ↗ Shore take a close look in the context

3:18:15 ↗ of all the other things that are going

3:18:17 ↗ to that are going to happen going

3:18:18 ↗ forward um uh whether we feel that

3:18:20 ↗ there's just the time for this amongst

3:18:23 ↗ the other other priorities that the that

3:18:25 ↗ um the city uh will be moving forward

3:18:27 ↗ within 2017

3:18:31 ↗ thanks other questions or

3:18:35 ↗ discussion make a motion very sty do you

3:18:38 ↗ have a question no mo to refer AB 7219

3:18:43 ↗ to the December 1st 2016 and January 5th

3:18:46 ↗ 2017 the council land andure committee

3:18:48 ↗ meetings for review and recommendation

3:18:50 ↗ returning to the full Council on January

3:18:52 ↗ 17th

3:18:53 ↗ 2017 second moved and seconded any

3:18:57 ↗ additional

3:19:02 ↗ discussion so

3:19:06 ↗ um yeah we're we're we're we're gonna

3:19:09 ↗ we're going to discuss whether not a

3:19:11 ↗ couple things I mean so I can see a

3:19:12 ↗ benefit of like you know what let's

3:19:15 ↗ let's let's look at one of these early

3:19:18 ↗ on in this moratorium and and have a

3:19:21 ↗ council make a decision whether or not

3:19:23 ↗ this you know a development agreement

3:19:26 ↗ like this under these circumstances

3:19:28 ↗ makes sense or not or think we can be

3:19:30 ↗ successful I think that's an okay

3:19:31 ↗ conversation then the but the other

3:19:33 ↗ conversation is and this is what Stacy I

3:19:36 ↗ think and TOA just said as well is

3:19:40 ↗ like you know even if we think we can

3:19:43 ↗ make it

3:19:44 ↗ work um can we really we're really

3:19:46 ↗ adding quite a burden to the work plan

3:19:49 ↗ which I think is already significant

3:19:51 ↗ already so

3:19:54 ↗ um you know that that's what I have to

3:19:57 ↗ decide my my vote tonight is going to

3:19:59 ↗ reflect you know part of me just says

3:20:02 ↗ listen what do we let's not add anything

3:20:03 ↗ to the work plan we got a couple things

3:20:06 ↗ we need to get them done we need to get

3:20:07 ↗ them done good this may have some Merit

3:20:09 ↗ I don't know we haven't looked at it but

3:20:12 ↗ let's just park it and wait um and so

3:20:16 ↗ you know we heard this evening we had

3:20:18 ↗ from public comments um I think you said

3:20:21 ↗ the owner I don't think it was the owner

3:20:22 ↗ it was a representative of the owner um

3:20:26 ↗ that it was a little there was a little

3:20:28 ↗ bit of a okay you know this is

3:20:30 ↗ everything you want but if you know if

3:20:31 ↗ we don't get a DA then we're just going

3:20:33 ↗ to do a super tire store I was like

3:20:35 ↗ really um okay sounded like a little bit

3:20:39 ↗ of a negotiating

3:20:41 ↗ position um

3:20:47 ↗ it be it be if if this goes forward to

3:20:50 ↗ committee it'

3:20:52 ↗ be we should explore that possibility

3:20:55 ↗ what's the reality of it not turning out

3:20:58 ↗ the way we would

3:21:02 ↗ prefer additional

3:21:06 ↗ discussion uh one of the things I heard

3:21:08 ↗ is uh

3:21:09 ↗ the um potential opportunity to share in

3:21:14 ↗ the Improvement there at that

3:21:15 ↗ intersection and so um the only reason

3:21:19 ↗ that I would consider moving this

3:21:21 ↗ forward is because of that potential

3:21:23 ↗ opportunity otherwise um I wouldn't be

3:21:26 ↗ um remotely interested at this point um

3:21:30 ↗ so I uh would support this going to land

3:21:34 ↗ and Shore to be looked at

3:21:37 ↗ um you know just a little bit more depth

3:21:40 ↗ um and boy there has to be something

3:21:44 ↗ Fair very compelling there um in order

3:21:47 ↗ for me to con to consider um whether we

3:21:50 ↗ want to take this on but but to me that

3:21:53 ↗ is a that is one reason uh we have um

3:21:57 ↗ many many times over the past several

3:21:59 ↗ months talked about transportation and

3:22:01 ↗ traffic issues being number one and that

3:22:04 ↗ we um meant what we said and said what

3:22:08 ↗ we meant when we were going to start

3:22:09 ↗ addressing it and so I would like to

3:22:11 ↗ know more about what that proposal is

3:22:14 ↗ and um or potential proposal

3:22:17 ↗ proposal um but that would be the only

3:22:19 ↗ reason I would be considering

3:22:22 ↗ it and I think um eth what would be

3:22:25 ↗ important for me in a first discussion

3:22:27 ↗ at land and Shore would be that there

3:22:29 ↗ was an approved proposal that meets the

3:22:31 ↗ existing code for Central isqua a code

3:22:34 ↗ that we're looking at revising this is a

3:22:36 ↗ new proposal would be required to make

3:22:39 ↗ some significant traffic improvements

3:22:41 ↗ anyway because it's much denser use than

3:22:44 ↗ the originally approved proposal and I'd

3:22:47 ↗ kind of like to understand exactly under

3:22:49 ↗ the current code that we have what would

3:22:52 ↗ they have had to prod provide anyway in

3:22:55 ↗ terms of Transportation improvements and

3:22:57 ↗ then what is the difference um because

3:22:59 ↗ this is a much denser Proposal with much

3:23:03 ↗ higher uh impact to the intersection

3:23:06 ↗ than what was previously approved that

3:23:08 ↗ would be important for me to really

3:23:09 ↗ understand that

3:23:14 ↗ okay earlier this year here at a

3:23:17 ↗ infrastructure meeting we I think we had

3:23:19 ↗ a conversation about this and one of the

3:23:21 ↗ things that stood out in my mind I think

3:23:22 ↗ Stacy I remember you you calling this

3:23:24 ↗ out which was very insightful in that

3:23:27 ↗ there's um there's actually multiple

3:23:31 ↗ issues with that three Trails Crossing

3:23:34 ↗ and it's not just about where the

3:23:36 ↗ walkway is now moving it in or and in

3:23:40 ↗ the alignment of of the of the trail but

3:23:43 ↗ it's it's the convergence of Dogwood and

3:23:47 ↗ rineer which is just south of Gilman by

3:23:50 ↗ you know 10t and if I remember in

3:23:54 ↗ infrastructure we were told yeah but

3:23:55 ↗ what we're talking about doesn't address

3:23:58 ↗ that convergence of dogwood and rineer

3:24:02 ↗ and I think the feeling was is like you

3:24:04 ↗ know you're going to fix this

3:24:05 ↗ intersection you're going to have to

3:24:06 ↗ address that part of it and um my

3:24:11 ↗ intuition tells me that that's correct

3:24:13 ↗ uh and and so you know um if we go

3:24:17 ↗ forward with this then I would hope that

3:24:20 ↗ the entire scope of that area was

3:24:24 ↗ considered as part of the Improvement

3:24:26 ↗ and not just along Gilman and not

3:24:29 ↗ address the convergence of dogwood and

3:24:30 ↗ reineer mean Juniper do I yeah yeah I'm

3:24:33 ↗ sorry you're right you I was just seeing

3:24:35 ↗ if anybody was listening wow this much

3:24:38 ↗ bigger project than I thought if it was

3:24:39 ↗ all the way dog yeah one of those cross

3:24:42 ↗ streets that come across from

3:24:44 ↗ Newport right the the northern one

3:24:47 ↗ Juniper yeah you knew what I was talking

3:24:48 ↗ about yeah where Washington Federal is

3:24:50 ↗ exactly so the good news with the da is

3:24:52 ↗ we have the ability to say what we want

3:24:54 ↗ to have happen and I clearly heard it

3:24:56 ↗ infrastructure that that South leg was

3:24:59 ↗ important to the committee and so I

3:25:01 ↗ think we'll start the conversations by

3:25:04 ↗ talking about all four legs of that

3:25:06 ↗ intersection and not just

3:25:09 ↗ three all right thank

3:25:15 ↗ you no discussion or questions seeing

3:25:19 ↗ none and all those uh in favor of

3:25:23 ↗ referring agenda Bill 7219 to the

3:25:26 ↗ December 1st

3:25:28 ↗ 2016 and January 5th 2017 Council land

3:25:33 ↗ and Shore committee meeting for review

3:25:35 ↗ and recommendation returning to the full

3:25:37 ↗ Council on January the 17th 2017 signify

3:25:41 ↗ by saying I I I was opposed that carries

3:25:47 ↗ unanimously uh that uh concludes I

3:25:51 ↗ believe our last item under regular

3:25:55 ↗ business as I announced in uh the

3:25:59 ↗ mayor's report uh there will be we'll

3:26:02 ↗ now move into executive session for the

3:26:04 ↗ purpose of discussing property

3:26:06 ↗ acquisition and pending potential
