manager of the isqua Northbend squami
9:07
Fall City and North Bend libraries and
9:11
um Irene is the librarian services
9:14
manager and we're here today to talk
9:17
about the King County strategic plan
9:20
it's
9:21
65%
9:22
done I don't know where they got that
9:24
number but it's a lot of work and we're
9:28
here to invite you to um fill out we
9:32
have a survey that I will leave with
9:34
Tisha um to to help us
9:38
to ask questions or comment on what we
9:42
say today so our first thing is um we're
9:45
here to share our progress on the uh
9:48
strategic plan and you are our public
9:51
partners and we're a part of visaa so we
9:54
want to share it with you and it the
9:57
plan will be finished
9:59
by the end of this year and it will be
10:01
going for three to five years we're
10:04
thinking big okay we um uh kcls
10:08
participated in robust Community
10:11
engagement activities in the fall of
10:14
2016 and um we had Community surveys
10:18
that um uh uh responded were responded
10:22
by
10:23
3,887 people in five different languages
10:27
and also we had community conversations
10:30
and 517 people attended those and gave
10:33
their
10:34
input okay so we have um from this we
10:38
developed three scenarios focusing on
10:42
things that are uh constituents
10:45
identifies they would like to see
10:47
addressed not mainly Library issues but
10:50
issues in their
10:52
community and our first scenario is
10:54
called is it's very big connections and
10:58
navigation so so um people have said
11:01
that this addresses the increasing
11:03
complexity and Rapid change in life
11:05
systems and processes like starting a
11:08
business or becoming a citizen getting a
11:10
job finding a housing and we hope that
11:14
we can help identify and fully
11:16
understand issues opportunities assets
11:19
and resources relevant to this community
11:22
we want to create link linkages and
11:25
provide opportunities for people and
11:27
organizations to discover and learn from
11:29
each other and our next one is um
11:32
scenario number two is the sense of
11:36
belonging and um the lack of a sense of
11:39
community that people sometimes feel is
11:42
exacerbated by the pace of Life
11:44
technology and social media and it also
11:47
speaks to overcoming difference as a
11:50
barrier and also recognizing diversity
11:53
is a strength in our communities and um
11:56
this scenario also responds to the
11:58
patterns of conflict and polarization of
12:01
beliefs and values that create Strife um
12:04
the intent uh of the scenario is to be
12:07
consistently purposeful about building
12:10
cohesive neighborhoods and communities
12:13
and to bring Divergent communities
12:15
together to learn about and appreciate
12:17
each other for their assets and
12:19
contributions and our third scenario is
12:22
skills building which we feel the
12:23
library is our strongest thing we offer
12:27
uh programs and books and um technology
12:32
to people to build skills and become you
12:36
know get a good job or find a good book
12:38
all these fun stuff which is what I like
12:40
to do bossing people I mean helping
12:42
people find things that's what um and so
12:45
we hope that we will be part of that
12:47
facilitating the people's skills and and
12:51
um you know bringing organizations
12:53
together who can help build skills so
12:56
that is our third scenario and we are
12:58
hoping
13:00
um that you can be a part of it by I
13:03
will send an email to Tisha with um more
13:07
of what we just said about the three
13:09
scenarios and we also would like invite
13:12
you to um resp uh fill out the it's a
13:16
Survey Monkey what's your last name so
13:18
thank you so much um for your time and
13:21
um we'll we'd like to come back and
13:23
share with you our final strategic PL
13:25
plan and any Library service
13:27
implications for the Comm Community when
13:29
it's completed thank you so much thank
13:32
you and we'll be back May June about
13:35
thank you thank you Lynn and uh
13:41
Michelle next we have Robert
13:55
Rudolph good evening mayor Butler and uh
13:59
city council I'm Bob Rudolph I live at
14:01
uh 100 timberridge Way Northwest it's
14:04
timberridge at Talis I'm a resident of
14:07
isqua for the past few months and I I
14:10
wrote you folks a letter last week and I
14:12
wanted to follow up today to uh bring to
14:15
your attention again uh an issue that
14:18
could have negative impacts on the
14:20
ability of residents of isqua to uh get
14:23
into
14:24
Seattle now as most of you know the
14:27
center lanes of I90 going across Lake
14:29
Washington are going to close this
14:31
summer when uh Sound Transit begins to
14:34
develop the rail mass transit
14:37
system and when that happens the highway
14:41
I90 is going to be restriped so that
14:43
there'll be a single HOV lane going into
14:46
Seattle and a single HOV lane coming out
14:48
of Seattle this is different than what
14:51
currently exists where there are two HOV
14:53
lanes going in the morning and they're
14:55
reversed in the evening uh two lanes
14:58
coming out so essentially the uh
15:00
capacity of the HOV lane on I90 is going
15:03
to be reduced by 50% when this
15:07
happens now the Mercer Island leadership
15:09
has taken the position that Mercer
15:11
Island residents should be able to use
15:13
that HOV lane not only for car pools but
15:17
for single occupancy Vehicles as well
15:20
and they make this assertion based on a
15:23
1976 agreement that they had with the
15:27
agencies involved that allowed them to
15:29
use the center I90 bridge for um the HOV
15:35
lanes there for single occupancy Mercer
15:38
Island
15:39
traffic but that agreement in 1976 was
15:43
to terminate when the lanes were to be
15:46
converted to rail and that is what is
15:49
happening
15:50
now this summer now the um Federal
15:54
Highway Administration weighed in on
15:56
this last August and sent a letter to
15:59
the merer island leadership saying that
16:02
to allow sov single occupancy vehicle
16:05
access to the HOV lane on I90 or for
16:08
that matter any interstate highway is a
16:11
violation of federal law and is not
16:14
allowed they also pointed out that if
16:17
sov traffic was allowed to access the
16:19
HOV lane on Mercer Island it would
16:22
create some serious operational and
16:25
safety issues uh mainly vehicles
16:28
crossing a number of lanes of traffic to
16:30
get to the HOV lane from the ramps on
16:33
Mercer
16:34
Island uh but despite this the Mercer
16:38
Island leadership is determined to uh
16:42
allow their residents to have what they
16:44
call Access and
16:47
mobility and by what that mean by that
16:49
is single occupancy vehicle access to
16:52
the HOV Lan and they have uh Enlisted
16:56
the uh aid of their of the state
16:59
legislators they have had congressman
17:02
Adam Smith set up a meeting with the
17:04
governor they have Patty Murray
17:07
involved they have lobbyists in Olympia
17:09
and they have lobbyists in Washington DC
17:12
on this issue and on February 16th they
17:15
filed a lawsuit against wo and Sound
17:20
Transit
17:22
uh in an effort to block the rail system
17:27
until they can negotiate out acceptable
17:29
arrangement for them which would be
17:31
access to the HOV lane and they did this
17:34
by withdrawing or putting on hold their
17:36
Shoreline management permit so they have
17:39
filed that lawsuit now there was a study
17:42
done by wisot last year that showed that
17:45
if the single occupancy vehicle access
17:47
was allowed in the HOV lane on Mercer
17:50
Island it would slow the traffic in the
17:53
HOV lane uh to levels that are
17:56
unacceptable or don't meet the hoov
17:59
standards for um HOV lanes and they
18:06
um and me more than half the time and in
18:10
fact almost 60% of the time it would not
18:13
meet the standards uh of HOV lane uh mo
18:18
mobility so um if sov access were to be
18:23
allowed it would have a negative effect
18:25
on residents of isqua who are attempting
18:28
to access Seattle in the HOV lane with a
18:32
legitimate car pool and um that would be
18:37
true not only for isqua but also for
18:39
residents in C cities all along the I90
18:42
Corridor and this issue seems to me to
18:45
have flown under the radar the only
18:47
input I've seen on this has been from
18:49
Mercer Island so I urge you to uh
18:53
provide significant input to wisot and
18:56
Sound Transit oppos ing any action which
19:00
impedes the smooth flow of traffic on
19:03
the I90 HOV lane and to oppose the uh
19:07
use the access of single occupy vehicles
19:10
in that HOV lane your comment period is
19:13
over and secondly I I urge you to alert
19:16
other citizens uh other cities along the
19:19
I90 Corridor to uh this problem so that
19:23
they might take appropriate action for
19:25
their citizens thank you very very much
19:27
this evening
19:30
next we have Liz
19:42
tidyman thank you and good evening for
19:44
the record my name is Liz tidyman and
19:46
I've recently moved to isqua after 28
19:49
years in
19:50
bellw and I have spoken to you before
19:53
about a couple of subjects and I'm going
19:55
to revisit those tonight just to give
19:56
you a little update and also mention one
19:59
or two other things first I'd like to
20:02
inform you of a new chapter of state law
20:06
that was enacted during
20:08
2016 it's RCW
20:11
18390 and it governs Continuing Care
20:14
retirement communities such as Timber
20:16
Ridge here in
20:18
isqua um my family was familiar with
20:21
ccc's uh from uh Decades of living on
20:25
the east coast and places where there
20:26
are more of them and and after my
20:29
parents moved to Timber Ridge we were
20:31
surprised by a couple things we
20:33
experienced so we formed an association
20:36
of CCRC residents and worked with our
20:39
state legislators and with the trade
20:41
Association to enact a chapter of state
20:44
law to establish unequivocally that a
20:48
CCRC is not the same thing as an
20:51
assisted living facility so I just
20:53
wanted to let you know that RCW
20:56
18390 now exists and it will go into
20:59
effect in July of
21:02
2017 um
21:04
second this year we have a kind of a
21:08
cleanup Bill addressing that chapter of
21:10
state law and it was good luck for me
21:14
that in the legislature the public
21:15
hearing on that bill in the House
21:17
Healthcare committee was the same day as
21:20
a public hearing on another bill near
21:23
and dear to my heart and that would be
21:26
House Bill 1076
21:28
brought forward by Fifth District
21:30
representative Paul Graves and it has to
21:33
do with home prepared meals being served
21:36
at in congregate settings um
21:39
representative Graves brought that
21:40
forward because of what my group has
21:42
experienced here in isqua and also what
21:45
he heard from other organizations in the
21:47
Fifth District so I'm very hopeful that
21:51
1076 will be passed it um it's right now
21:55
on the um second reading calendar it's
21:57
already passed the House Healthcare
21:59
committee House Appropriations and
22:01
hopefully it'll get voted by the house
22:03
over to the Senate so I'm looking
22:04
forward to there being a public Hearing
22:06
in the Senate also um it was just dumb
22:09
luck for me that both those public
22:11
hearings were on the same day um I have
22:14
a question that I just want to name out
22:16
loud and I don't wish anybody to
22:18
research an answer for this for me if my
22:21
group becomes prohibited from using the
22:24
Community Hall because we're not a 501c
22:27
designated entity because that's the
22:28
direction issaqua is going right now
22:31
where in issaqua will people be able to
22:34
get a meal on a Thursday a Saturday or a
22:36
Sunday so I just name that that question
22:40
exists finally I will be curious now
22:43
that I'm an isqua resident to learn and
22:45
to research how it is that the city
22:48
administrator's office has the authority
22:50
to decide that the Community Hall will
22:52
be used only by 501c entities that show
22:55
proof of insurance naming isqua as a
22:57
named insurance
22:59
so I really appreciate the transparency
23:01
of the online codes and all kinds of
23:03
agendas and minutes and so on and uh
23:06
it's very possible that this has come
23:08
forward from a committee to the city
23:10
council and so on but I'll be interested
23:12
to look into
23:13
that and finally I will say I have only
23:16
in the past two weeks completed my move
23:19
from Bellevue to isqua and it will take
23:22
me a little while to learn my way around
23:26
uh as a resident I want to say that I
23:28
live with an enormous amount of fatigue
23:32
because it's not only from the move but
23:35
for the 10 years prior to that I was one
23:37
of Washington's 800,000 unpaid family
23:41
caregivers my parents may have resided
23:44
in a retirement community where they had
23:46
care and services but that does not mean
23:48
there are not family caregiving
23:50
responsibilities and my parents had

non-discrimination and tolerance and in

you that concludes my report council
32:05
member almost thank you Mr Mayor um
32:08
first I'll talk about the council uh
32:10
infrastructure committee and uh first to
32:13
note is the March meeting has been moved
32:15
it's not going to be on the 16th as
32:17
usual it'll be on March 28th sorry for
32:19
the inconvenience of changeed for folks
32:21
but get that word out as quick as
32:22
possible the agenda hasn't been set yet
32:24
for that um our February second meeting
32:28
we had a number of items on there uh the
32:30
first one was complete streets and that
32:33
was a little different than we normally
32:35
do and this was kind of council
32:37
Direction so I'm coming back to you with
32:39
some information here and see if it's
32:40
good enough for you if you will because
32:43
the complete streets previously the
32:45
administration would just decide which
32:47
projects to do and we gave we wanted to
32:49
have some Council touches on that so
32:51
coming through infrastructure we went
32:52
through a process and selected the the
32:55
projects to uh to be done under the
32:57
complete streets one selected were um
33:01
the main one was uh finishing the last
33:03
link on Juniper Street there's one last
33:06
chunk of of uh lack of sidewalk that
33:08
doesn't connect everything um and that
33:11
one piece we figured would take most of
33:13
the of the funding uh complete streets
33:15
this year if there was any left over the
33:17
next uh project they would start
33:19
repairing the sidewalks around Pickering
33:22
Barn that had been raised up by the
33:23
trees and so forth there um that would
33:26
involve some tree removal so the
33:28
question I passed out to you now how to
33:29
think about is coming we asked about do
33:31
we have to provide an agenda Bill and
33:33
have the whole Council vote on that or
33:35
just bring that back to everyone let you
33:38
know and uh go with that so that's kind
33:41
of the decision and if any of my other
33:43
uh Committee Member want to say
33:45
something on that you're welcome too
33:46
we're good okay thank you fres and then
33:49
um next item is AB uh 7308 Gilman
33:53
Boulevard which is on the agenda for
33:54
tonight so we'll talk about that later
33:56

33:59
Sunset area that is just starting the
34:01
conversation nothing's aside it's just
34:03

34:12

34:15
uh the administration they came up with
34:17
a nice project update uh uh report for
34:21
us so which we've been doing but more
34:23
verbally now we got a nice set of uh uh
34:27
all the projects listed out you can see
34:29
what was done last month or coming up
34:30
this month or any updates and that's I
34:32
the public appreciated that and the only
34:34
thing we asked them to add onto that
34:36
list was all projects that were covered
34:38
by other than the city such as
34:39
developers and so forth that were at
34:41

36:11
of Health and another representative
36:13
from the Kitsap health district and they
36:15

36:18
planning in our region so the planning
36:20
that we do but health related issues
36:21
they provided information about health
36:23
outcomes are interrelated with planning

and how communities are using Health in

36:36
really good uh presentation um we also
36:39
had a a discussion about affordable
36:41
housing we had um and there were three
36:44

36:45
professionals um with prepared material
36:48
including Arthur Sullivan of arch and

36:52
knowledgeable as well and they talked

about uh new housing developments being

36:57
approaches that cities are using to
36:59
increase affordable housing uh through
37:01
incentives and other planning um really

our our neighbors to the north samamish

40:05
believe it's uh April we are going to
40:08
have a discussion of the cultural of the
40:10
proposed cultural access sales tax which
40:13
uh would affect some Arts organizations
40:16
potentially in isqua um that is I
40:20
believe that uh vote is is if if all
40:25
goes as planned King County count
40:27
Council will be uh enabling that vote at
40:30
this week's King County council meeting
40:32
but the details of what that cultural
40:34
access sales tax looks like uh we
40:37
haven't yet seen at SCA and so I'm very
40:40
interested and then we'll also be having
40:42
a a lengthy conversation about um 27
40:45
work uh 2017 work plans for RPC uh RW QC
40:50
which is regional water quality Council
40:52
and then RTC so um we'll be interested
40:56

40:58
with each other and U back out to our
41:00

41:01

their concern is primarily that upgrades
43:34
um may not keep up with growth
43:37
especially with the growth rates we're
43:38
experiencing right now on tourism uh
43:42
they noted that we were the only state
43:43
in the nation without a a state level
43:46
funded tourism program and that there
43:48
are some bills moving through the House
43:49
and Senate now uh that they are
43:51
supporting they also talked about film
43:53
Works they are Lobby lobbying to get
43:55
some isqua locations added to lists for
43:59
movie shot movie shoots um and the last
44:02
item that I thought was of interest to
44:04
our council is they gave us an update on
44:06

44:08
kind words of appreciation for the
44:10

45:59
a little bit more analysis they're also
46:02
um uh bringing back more staff is
46:04

policies earlier this year
51:27
the administration proposed capital
51:29
budget policy updates to the city
51:31
council um provided with that was a
51:34
timeline and a pathway forward for
51:36
improving our capital budget policy uh
51:39
first that is to occur before we work on
51:42
improving um the CIP development process
51:46
along with better engagement in the
51:49
community there have been some previous
51:52
discussions with regards to the capital
51:53
budget policy uh starting in January the
51:56
policy was presented to the committee of
51:58
the whole the council has conducted a
52:00
work session on February 13th uh to
52:03
start discussions on those proposed
52:04
updates tonight is the public hearing to
52:07
take uh public testimony and then there
52:09
are two other proposed sessions uh for
52:12
this particular policy
52:14
update the proposed policy came to the
52:17
city council it included updates with
52:20
regards to capital budget objectives the
52:23
CIP time frame and proposed changes to
52:25
that uh some new sections of the capital
52:29
budget policy which included project
52:31
ranking uh criteria uh that is based on
52:35
a a set of of council provided or
52:39
Council adopted
52:41
um rankings that would help
52:44
Administration to uh Place projects into
52:48
the
52:49
CIP there's strengthened language in the
52:52
capital budget policy that refers to
52:55
sources and uses not uh the funding as
52:58
well as the cost in the policy and then
53:00
efforts to improve our citizen
53:02
engagement uh for this particular
53:06
policy that public engagement effort

out there's a two-year transition for
53:15
the CIP process for improvements

starting in 2017 for the 2018 capital
53:20
budget and we wanted to ensure that we

54:40
resident of Providence Point Community
54:42
uh my address 22417 Southeast 36 Lane
54:47
and I'm here for consideration of uh
54:51
putting our Capital our traffic signal
54:55
project on the list top of the list um
54:59
as you know the traffic from samamish
55:01
has increased over the years I've lived
55:04
uh we bought in 2010 and it is even more
55:08
impactful now it is very difficult to
55:12
make a right turn lane much less a left
55:15
turn lane when you want to um leave
55:19
Providence Point in addition uh people
55:22
are not able to cross the street anymore
55:24
it is much too hazardous there's
55:26
pedestrian warning signs but as you know
55:29
when you were making the turn past the
55:31
City Church property coming down the
55:33
hill um they're going way too fast um
55:36
for anybody to have a chance to survive
55:38
that Trevor across the street it's not
55:42
that far but it is very very
55:44
dangerous um back in 2010 or 10 not 2010
55:49
back about 10 years ago um there was
55:53
plans drawn up uh for this project
55:56
project and all they need is to be
55:59
brought up to a current code for um
56:04
traffic signalization for the street
56:07
width Etc the storm drains and and I
56:10
would uh I actually sent a letter to
56:13
Mayor Butler uh with a copy to the city
56:16
council uh to request that if there are
56:19
any funds available this year to bring
56:21
those plans up to speed that would be
56:23
terrific and then to fund our project
56:26
next year I would greatly appreciate any
56:29
consideration you would give for this
56:31
project um we have uh 1,400 residents
56:35

Ingress and egress and so it is very
56:40

57:54
excellent um materials um that you
57:57
presented to the Council on um the
57:59
capital budget policies um I have
58:02
remarked um before and I'll say it again
58:04
that it was um maybe one of the um
58:07
probably maybe the best presentation
58:09
that we've ever had with the materials
58:11
focused on um the specific policy
58:13
questions that we were to answer and
58:16

April 3rd 2017 council meeting to allow
58:46
the opportunity for additional public
58:48
comments signify by saying I I those
58:51
opposed that carries
58:54
unanimously uh
58:56
moving now to regular business uh agenda
59:00
Bill
59:02
7308 Gilman Boulevard improvements sr900
59:07
to isqua Creek uh we'll kick things off
59:11
with a short uh presentation and then
59:14
I'll uh uh turn it over to the chair of
59:17
the infrastructure committee uh uh to uh
59:22
uh uh present it before the council
59:30
thank you Mr Mayor um council members
59:33
Kurt seon Transportation manager here at
59:35
the city um I just um I think as the
59:40
mayor suggested um council member Ramos
59:43
will probably uh follow up with what we
59:46
discussed at the infrastructure
59:48
committee but I wanted to give the full
59:49
Council uh just um I don't really have a
59:52
a slideshow or presentation but just to
59:54
talk briefly about
59:56
uh what we're looking to accomplish on
59:59
Gilman and what the purpose of this work
1:00:01
is and and what we think the future
1:00:04
holds out there and why it makes sense
1:00:05
to do the work now so we know that
1:00:07
Gilman um is the Gilman Corridor is one
1:00:11
of the Prime major East West corridors
1:00:15
in isqua serving a large number of
1:00:17
businesses as well as an increasing
1:00:19
number of residents along that Corridor
1:00:21
and we know that um that as growth
1:00:25
continues and properties redevelop along
1:00:27
there that the the future of Gilman will
1:00:30
be different from the present uh Gilman
1:00:33
that we know so the the real issue here
1:00:35
is how do we ensure that um we keep all
1:00:39
that's good about Gilman and maintain
1:00:41
the the uh the positive character of
1:00:44
that Corridor and while planning for and
1:00:47
accommodating the future and I think
1:00:50
more specifically uh how do we uh ensure
1:00:53
that that corridor from a transportation
1:00:55
standpoint anyway that it supports all
1:00:57
modes of travel um both for businesses
1:01:00
and um increasing number of residents um
1:01:04
all modes of travel including um
1:01:06
non-motorized pedestrian Bicycles of
1:01:08
course Transit as well as uh
1:01:11
vehicles and um and then finally I think
1:01:15
how do we plan for this Corridor we know
1:01:18
that um very soon here we'll be starting
1:01:21
working with the state on the uh igr the
1:01:24
intersection justification report uh
1:01:27
that's going to look at Front Street and
1:01:28
a potential second Crossing of I90
1:01:32
probably in the vicinity of 10th or 12
1:01:34
so that's an that's something else
1:01:37
that's happening along that Corridor and
1:01:40
um and also just going out even further
1:01:44
we know that light rail is coming isqua
1:01:45
and we want to be sure we start thinking
1:01:48
about that and how light rail may fit
1:01:51
into this whole area so um and so so
1:01:55
that's sort of as a background and uh
1:01:58
then more specifically with with what
1:02:00
we're uh have what you have in front of
1:02:02
you tonight um grab my notes
1:02:09
here so we've broken The Proposal uh to
1:02:13
you into two parts uh two phases as you
1:02:16
will a 2017 phase and a two which is
1:02:20
what we are asking for uh uh your
1:02:23
approval of tonight and then a future uh
1:02:26
2018 phase which is not part of
1:02:28
tonight's uh agenda bill but we'll be
1:02:31
coming back to you later in the process
1:02:33
to talk about that but in this 2017
1:02:36
phase we'll be primarily focused on
1:02:39
Gathering getting the facts um
1:02:43
presenting factual data to the community
1:02:45
that may include modeling some
1:02:47
preliminary look at look looks at what's
1:02:50
possible out there what the
1:02:52
opportunities are what the constraints
1:02:54
are um so but this is very much in this
1:02:57
first phase a a data Gathering and
1:03:00
Community
1:03:02
input um a large community input um
1:03:06
component to this work effort in 2017
1:03:09
we've done some survey already along
1:03:12
that Corridor uh in uh Mr Ramos can
1:03:16
speak more to this as what happened in
1:03:19
uh in our discussions with the
1:03:20
infrastructure committee but we
1:03:22
originally had scoped the project to be
1:03:24
from roughly from the bridge to
1:03:28
900 sr900 and in further conversations
1:03:32
with council with the committee uh we
1:03:34
all agreed that it it made the most
1:03:35
sense to look at the entire corridor
1:03:39
from um from Front Street to sr900 and
1:03:42
that's not meant to exclude the portion
1:03:45
east of front that's still a portion
1:03:47
we'll be considering as well but the the
1:03:50
primary focus and what is in front of
1:03:52
you uh tonight is the uh approving
1:03:56
preliminary work in 2017 for the Gilman
1:03:59
corridor from
1:04:00
sr900 uh to Front Street uh we
1:04:03
originally asked
1:04:04
for so it's a it may be a little we uh
1:04:07
put a table in there at council's
1:04:09
request to help hopefully help explain
1:04:11
the the dollars there but um so
1:04:14
initially we had asked for $50,000 for
1:04:16
the work from the bridge to uh to sr900
1:04:19
we had already done the survey for that
1:04:21
portion of the corridor uh when we're
1:04:23
looking to extend the the uh
1:04:26
the work from the bridge to um Front
1:04:29
Street we're uh expecting that that
1:04:32
could our budget we're budgeting for
1:04:33
another 17
1:04:36
$125,000 for that work which would
1:04:38
include survey and some additional study
1:04:41
and U preliminary work so the request
1:04:44
for you tonight is for the
1:04:47
50,000 uh originally asked for plus the
1:04:50
125,000 additional for a total of
1:04:53
175,000
1:04:56
so that thank you uh Kurt uh this is
1:04:59
coming back from the uh infrastructure
1:05:02
committee uh bill yeah and and thank you
1:05:05
Kurt that uh summed it up pretty well um
1:05:08
it did go through committee a couple
1:05:10
times um because there were some
1:05:12
questions on on what was the what were
1:05:14
the uh the length of the project what it
1:05:17
really included and and realized after
1:05:19
some discussion was the the shorter
1:05:21
project was in place for $50,000 because
1:05:24
we had already gathered a lot the data
1:05:26
there and so it could move forward
1:05:27
fairly quickly and fairly inexpensively
1:05:30
but that didn't for us didn't follow the
1:05:32
logic when it's really a corridor and it
1:05:34
would we should look at the whole piece
1:05:37
the the drawback to that is it's going
1:05:39
to cost more because there's more data
1:05:41
to gather on the piece that we don't
1:05:42
have it already and also add length of
1:05:44
time so this project goes from 50,000
1:05:47
and finish it you know you know earlier
1:05:49
this year and start things versus
1:05:51
175,000 and and be able to to Really
1:05:54
roll into 2018 with with all that data
1:05:57
in place um so it extends a lot of that
1:05:59
into 18 versus the end of 17 um but I
1:06:03
saying I think really um will give us a
1:06:06
good hold on the future of what we need
1:06:08
with all that data gathered when when
1:06:10
Redevelopment in that area happens and
1:06:12
those kinds of things we'll know what we
1:06:13
want as a city and then we all have
1:06:16
those answers we won't have to be
1:06:17
wondering peace meal when someone
1:06:19
developed something here or someone
1:06:21
devel something there
1:06:24
um so so with that in mind I'd like to
1:06:27
move to approve the project area to
1:06:28
include Gilman Boulevard improvements
1:06:31
from sr900 to Front Street and authorize
1:06:34
an allocation of
1:06:35
$175,000 from the street Improvement
1:06:37
fund balance ending balance and direct
1:06:40
the finance director to include the
1:06:41
175,000 in the subsequent 2017 budget
1:06:44
amendment second it's moved and seconded
1:06:48
uh
1:06:53
discussion seeing none the and all those
1:06:57
in favor of approving the project area
1:06:59
to include Gilman Boulevard approvement
1:07:02
from sr900 to fren Street and authorized
1:07:05
the allocation of
1:07:06
$175,000 from the street Improvement

amendments signify by saying I I those
1:07:21
opposed that carries
1:07:24
unanimously thank you thank you very
1:07:26
much moving now to agenda Bill uh
1:07:32
7333
1:07:33
2017 budget
1:07:36
amendments then you're awful busy
1:07:42
tonight thank you again
1:07:48
mayor this agenda item is uh to address
1:07:51
a budget appropriation adjustments that
1:07:53
are necessary um that that uh would
1:07:56
cover expenditures and revenues that we
1:07:58
hadn't anticipated in the 2017 budget
1:08:01
adoption
1:08:03
process the budget was adopted in uh
1:08:07
2016 uh at the end of December with
1:08:09
agenda Bill
1:08:11
7243 there are some proposed budget
1:08:14
amendments to cover unforeseen Revenue
1:08:16
sources and
1:08:18
expenditures and state statutes uh
1:08:20
certainly guide us with regards to
1:08:22
budgets in code cities and Define public
1:08:24
hearing
1:08:27
requirements there are a number of of
1:08:29
budget amendments um based on the on
1:08:32
different types according to State
1:08:34
Statute uh amendments for emergencies uh
1:08:37
where there is not a need for any notice
1:08:40
or public hearing that's required
1:08:42
amendments for increasing adopted
1:08:44
appropriation levels and um that
1:08:47
particular type of budget amendment
1:08:49
requires a public uh notice and public
1:08:52
hearing there are amendments for
1:08:54
receiving more Revenue um where no
1:08:56
notice or public hearing is required and
1:08:58
that one is primarily if the city
1:08:59
council chooses to spend those resources
1:09:01
in that current year so with this
1:09:04
proposed uh budget amendment for
1:09:07
2017 um the administration is
1:09:10
recommending that the city council uh
1:09:12
hold a public hearing at its next
1:09:14
council
1:09:15
meeting and to set that for March 20th
1:09:19
2017 so with that the proposed ordinance
1:09:22
is with the agenda Bill and I'd be happy
1:09:25
to answer any questions of the
1:09:28
council are there questions of
1:09:36
Jen
1:09:38
Paul going on me okay sorry all right
1:09:41
thank you so I know we're going to be
1:09:43
addressing this again um in the
1:09:46
future and um I think some I'll just
1:09:49
make a request for some information make
1:09:52
sure we have it later on as well um I
1:09:55
think the action in front of us we
1:09:57
haven't really made we haven't made a
1:09:58
motion yet because the action is going
1:09:59
to be to set the public hearing I
1:10:00
believe so I'm just going to ask some
1:10:02
questions about the
1:10:03
content
1:10:05
um uh and and Jen if you don't have it
1:10:08
right now just later on in the in the uh
1:10:11
on page 153 of 175 in the packet in the
1:10:14
capital special projects fund number 301
1:10:17
there I just don't understand the
1:10:19
description of that um uh adjustments in
1:10:22
Revenue um so I'll I just just like to
1:10:25
get some clarification on that if it's
1:10:27
easy now that's great I can put these in
1:10:29
email to you as well I have a few just
1:10:32
related to some of the changes that are
1:10:33
in
1:10:36
there a few other questions I
1:10:40
mean
1:10:43
so you want to tackle that or you want
1:10:45
me to get I we want to do it later we
1:10:47
can do it later if you would like to
1:10:48
send an email with all the questions and
1:10:49
I can respond um a little bit more
1:10:51
efficiently but I'd be happy to answer
1:10:53
and and I'm you're going to see
1:10:54
questions as well related to the water
1:10:56
fund I think the description of the work
1:10:59
um I just don't uh just isn't clear and
1:11:03
the information and by and by the way
1:11:05
most what what we're looking at is every
1:11:08
whether it's a change to revenue or
1:11:10
expenditures in any of the funds every
1:11:12
one of these lines have a description
1:11:13
and for the most part they're very
1:11:15
helpful and I appreciate that and as I
1:11:16
had gone through them there was just a
1:11:18
couple of them that I was seeking a
1:11:19
little bit more information about and
1:11:21
then um and then uh back fur um back
1:11:24
back up the page back up the document of
1:11:27
course the majority um a good number of
1:11:29
changes were made um relating to uh the
1:11:33
general fund and um I think um and and
1:11:38
there's a couple that are in
1:11:40
expenditures that are listed about they
1:11:42
say the 2016 appropriation for um so I
1:11:46
assume that those all mean that those
1:11:48
were originally budgeted in 2016 they
1:11:51
were not expended uh and now we're and
1:11:53
they're really just we're kind of re
1:11:56
appropriating funds for projects that
1:11:58
weren't that were previously authorized
1:12:00
but we did not um authorize their
1:12:02
spending in 2017 so we're just rolling
1:12:04
those
1:12:05
forward that's correct I can I can
1:12:08
answer that a reappropriation would mean
1:12:10
that because um spending ends at the end
1:12:13
of a year right and so just to get that
1:12:15
uh spending allocation into the the
1:12:18
current year is essentially what those
1:12:20
some of those line items are okay yeah
1:12:22
and and thank you I just wanted to be
1:12:24
clear about that
1:12:25
um and um those were my questions thank
1:12:29
you Bill uh than I'm I'll send some more
1:12:33
an email also I guess just one over the
1:12:35
top of my head just just looking is the
1:12:37
malor bay property is in many places and
1:12:40
very hard to follow so I don't know if
1:12:41
there's a better way to be able to
1:12:42
follow all the things involved with that
1:12:44
one one one piece might be easier to to
1:12:47
see I know it's in a lot of different
1:12:48
funds and then just and most of them
1:12:50
these are ones we we've you know
1:12:52
directed the city to spend but there's a
1:12:54
some a few in here that I don't remember
1:12:57
like authorizing to spend so I be have
1:12:58
some questions on those and I'll email
1:13:00
them to you so thank you I would say uh
1:13:03
any council member that has questions if
1:13:06
you would email Jen and then when we put
1:13:08
the responses together we'll provide it
1:13:11
uh those responses to the entire
1:13:14
Council uh Mary Lou um Jen just a
1:13:17
question on adjustment to expenditures
1:13:20
so I guess it's in the general fund the
1:13:22
Professional Services DSD I'm not sure I
1:13:24
quite understood your answer to council
1:13:27
member winterstein so it's a
1:13:29
appropriation for the Talis slide
1:13:31
expenses so was that budgeted in 2016
1:13:34
but not
1:13:36
spent yes okay so really it doesn't I'm
1:13:40
guess I'm trying to understand if if we
1:13:42
get to the end of the year and we didn't
1:13:45
spend it it did it did not show in our
1:13:46
ending fund balance then like are we
1:13:49
spending down or ending fund balance I
1:13:50
guess is what I'm getting at if if money
1:13:53
has been budgeted in a in a current year
1:13:56
and it's not spent then that impacts the
1:13:58
ending fund balance positively and so um
1:14:02
this when there's a reappropriation ask
1:14:05
then it's it is going to affect the the
1:14:07
fund balance um in the way it had been
1:14:09
intended so if we didn't spend it in
1:14:12
2016 the ending fund balance we saw at
1:14:14
budget session is now
1:14:16
$750,000 higher no no no um what that
1:14:19
means is that that that was part of the
1:14:22
reason why ending fund balance um
1:14:25
essentially was what it was at the end
1:14:27
of the year okay so I think when we
1:14:30
looked at the 2017 budget the original
1:14:32
proposed budget was going to have a $2.3
1:14:35
million draw down and then when Council
1:14:38
went through the whole thing we got it
1:14:40
to I don't know 700,000 61,000 yeah
1:14:43
there you go close yes so then what does
1:14:46
this mean that it at um budget time we
1:14:50
should have been looking at a $3 million
1:14:52
proposed draw down I'm just trying to
1:14:54
figure out if this is is I'm not really
1:14:56
sure I understand how this works well
1:15:00
what I think I can do better is I can
1:15:02
kind of walk you through the beginning
1:15:04
and ending fund balances um when I
1:15:06
respond to those questions if that's
1:15:08
I'll just put it in the email thanks
1:15:10
thank
1:15:11
you other other
1:15:16
questions Stacey thanks I would move to
1:15:19
set the public hearing regarding the
1:15:20
proposed 2017 budget amendments for the
1:15:23
March 20 2017 city council meeting
1:15:26
second moved and seconded any additional
1:15:29
discussion or
1:15:31
questions seeing none then all those in
1:15:35
favor of setting the public hearing
1:15:36
regarding the 2017 budget amendments for
1:15:40
March 20th
1:15:42
2017 city council meeting signify by
1:15:44
saying I I those opposed that carries
1:15:50
unanimously uh moving now to agenda Bill
1:15:54
7
1:15:55
283 2016 Arch fund trust
1:16:03
fund this
1:16:07
is
1:16:10
welcome this is uh coming back from
1:16:14
services and safety and we'll kick it
1:16:16
off with uh a short presentation from uh
1:16:20
the executive director of
1:16:23
arch um hello hello uh mayor and councel
1:16:26
um you have in your packet materials
1:16:29
that have been prepared through the
1:16:32
process that we go through annually to
1:16:34
review uh requests for funding um this
1:16:38
process has gone through the review of
1:16:40
yes can you introduce yourself to the
1:16:42
folks watching sorry that's okay Arthur
1:16:45
Sullivan program manager of arch thank
1:16:47
you um as I mentioned the process we go
1:16:50
through includes review by your staff um
1:16:54
a citizen advice board with uh citizens
1:16:56
from across East King County and also
1:16:59
the arch executive board before we come
1:17:01
back to you um with funding requests
1:17:04
based on funding levels that you had
1:17:06
approved in previous years um there are
1:17:08
two projects that are presented in the
1:17:10
packet that you have um both are by
1:17:13
Imagine housing the first is 30 bellw
1:17:16
which is actually a project that we
1:17:17
partially funded last year they have
1:17:20
managed to address all the issues that
1:17:22
were raised and have moved that project
1:17:24
forward
1:17:25
um and this year we're happy to say that
1:17:27
our award combined with funding
1:17:30
applications to other funders looks like
1:17:32
that project is essentially fully funded
1:17:34
and is expected to continue this year
1:17:37
assuming funding um approved by the arch
1:17:39
member cities um we did go through a
1:17:42
unique situation with this project at
1:17:44
the very end of the year after the
1:17:45
election a lot of uncertainty where the
1:17:47
tax code will go and one of the primary
1:17:49
funding sources we're often trying to
1:17:51
leverage or the agencies that we support
1:17:53
are federal tax credits in this project
1:17:56
um we have several charts that are
1:17:58
included along with the memo and we'll
1:17:59
show you that 13 million of the24
1:18:02
million of expenses are from tax credits
1:18:05
the value of those credits is based on
1:18:07
investors with the changes or potential
1:18:10
changes in the tax code that has
1:18:11
potentially reduced so we have added a
1:18:15
above and beyond their request a
1:18:17
contingency in the event the tax credit
1:18:19
value by the time they close the project
1:18:21
this summer has decreased or what it's
1:18:24
sort of at today versus where it was
1:18:26
last year um then we would we added a
1:18:29
special condition that we would share
1:18:31
with the county um our share being up to
1:18:33
400,000 but it would be go through an
1:18:36
iterative process um and also go back to
1:18:38
the arch executive board for review to
1:18:40
make sure that any other funding um
1:18:43
savings could be used before allocating
1:18:45
any funds and it would only be used
1:18:47
primarily for contingence construction
1:18:49
contingency so uh it's our response to a
1:18:52
unique situation we're hoping those
1:18:53
funds may not be used but we have put in
1:18:55
protections and um are proposing being
1:18:58
able to go back to the executive board
1:18:59
for that additional funding um other
1:19:01
than that this project um has gone
1:19:03
through all the city approvals and so is
1:19:05
now just in the permitting process um
1:19:08
and an exciting project to include
1:19:09
housing for families homeless and also
1:19:12
persons with development disabled the
1:19:14
other project is a little more
1:19:16
speculative at this nature but we're
1:19:17
very excited we think that a number of
1:19:19
the lessons that we've learned um from
1:19:21
your actions up in Isle Highlands might
1:19:23
be applied to this site
1:19:25
um that might find ways to create local
1:19:27
value to significantly reduce the land
1:19:30
value and given that um we are proposing
1:19:33
a preliminary uh funding award but
1:19:35
requiring to come back next fall with a
1:19:37
complete um process um and a complete
1:19:40
application to us and other funders um
1:19:43
there there is an opportunity to do well
1:19:45
over a 100 affordable units in one
1:19:46
development immediately adjacent to the
1:19:49
Overlake parking ride so a very very
1:19:50
unique situation um and so we wanted to
1:19:53
sort of show our preliminary support
1:19:56
through this preliminary commitment
1:19:57
funds would not be able to be expended
1:19:59
it's sort of a reservation if they can
1:20:01
pull together the rest of the project
1:20:02
they would come back for further funding
1:20:04
similar to what they did with 30
1:20:05
Belleview um and again there are a
1:20:07
number of conditions that go with the
1:20:09
funding recommendations from The
1:20:11
Advisory board and the executive board
1:20:12
that are included in your packet um and
1:20:14
then other summary information about the
1:20:17
two projects um as well as a summary of
1:20:20
projects funded over the years from your
1:20:22
support and other Council support so if
1:20:25
you have any questions I'd be happy to
1:20:27
try to questions of author this is uh
1:20:29
coming back from services and safety TOA
1:20:33
it
1:20:34
is on February 14th 2017 and I'm fairly
1:20:38
confident of that date the council
1:20:40
services and Safety Committee met and
1:20:42
discussed agenda bill 7283 after a brief
1:20:44
presentation of discussion the committee
1:20:46
unanimously recommended approval of the
1:20:48
proposed resolution authorizing use of
1:20:50
the city's Housing Trust Fund monies for
1:20:52
the 30 Belleview and estera block block
1:20:54
6B projects as recommended by the arch
1:20:57
executive board the committee requested
1:20:58
placement of this item under regular
1:21:00
business as we saw it this evening so I
1:21:03
therefore move to approve resolution
1:21:06
number
1:21:08
201701
1:21:09
201701 authorizing the duly appointed
1:21:12
administering Agency for Arch to execute
1:21:15
all documents necessary to enter into
1:21:17
agreements for the funding of affordable
1:21:19
housing projects as recommended by the
1:21:21
arch executive board utilizing funds
1:21:23
from the city's housing trust fund
1:21:27
second moved and seconded
1:21:32
twice questions or discussion paa I just
1:21:36
want to thank Arthur for coming in uh
1:21:38
and explaining this it's uh we felt this
1:21:40
was this looked like particularly
1:21:42
worthwhile uh use of monies of course
1:21:44
this is money that was already uh
1:21:46
budgeted so it's not like there's new uh
1:21:48
there's new allocations associated with
1:21:50
this so this is one of the easiest uh
1:21:53
decisions I've had to make
1:21:54
recommendations I've had to make in a
1:21:56
while great other uh pa uh thank you and
1:22:01
uh thank you Arthur as well um I
1:22:03
appreciate the material that that's
1:22:05
provided that's in the packet and I want
1:22:07
to just draw the U my fellow council
1:22:08
members attention to the table that's on
1:22:12
it's exhibit four in this bill it's
1:22:14
titled Arch Housing Trust Fund 2016
1:22:17
leveraging funds dot do uh and um as
1:22:21
I've
1:22:22
um uh continued to study and try to
1:22:26
understand all the um elements of how of
1:22:29
um of um of what Arch does and but also
1:22:33
previously spending two years on the
1:22:35
joint recommendations committee which
1:22:37
does the approval you'll see a line item
1:22:39
in that table which is on page 172 175
1:22:42
in the packet there's a line item from
1:22:44
King County it says
1:22:47
hom
1:22:49
cdbg um and um both of these projects
1:22:53
have numbers there one one of them is
1:22:55
1.8 million another one is $4.3 million
1:22:57
and that's those are the funds that the
1:22:59
jrc approves so that's kind of how it
1:23:01
ties to some of these but the reason I
1:23:03
like this this table because I think we
1:23:06
all need to be more aware of how many
1:23:10
different parties have to come together
1:23:12
to do projects of this magnitude uh and
1:23:14
for this purpose so you know the line at
1:23:17
the top is Arch uh for each one of those
1:23:19
okay that's the Consortium U that that
1:23:21
we're all part of and Arthur represents
1:23:23
and then there's Federal there's the
1:23:25
cdbg money you know from King County
1:23:28
there's also in the second project that
1:23:29
were that's speculative there's a
1:23:31
potential 7 million from King County for
1:23:34
Transit oriented development and then
1:23:36
further on down I believe the where it
1:23:38
says
1:23:39
[Music]
1:23:40
WTF is the Housing Trust Fund the state
1:23:42
Housing Trust Fund Arthur is that
1:23:44
correct so and so there's another source
1:23:46
$2 million for the Imagine housing uh 30
1:23:48
Bell viw project and then later on
1:23:51
further on down in the list you can see
1:23:52
the tax credits um there's a big there's
1:23:55
a big plan for that in for the second
1:23:57
project um um and you can see the the
1:24:00
percentage there um and further on down
1:24:03
you can see um both would involve uh
1:24:05
bank loans there are some deferred uh
1:24:07
developer fees and there are some other
1:24:10
private investment as well and I was
1:24:12
just very impressed when I was working
1:24:13
on the I was on the jrc how many
1:24:15
different parties have to come together
1:24:17
just the just the jrc process of putting
1:24:21
together those amounts and then the
1:24:22
approval process that they go through
1:24:24
through so you know our you know we our
1:24:27
Consortium through Arts there's a
1:24:29
multiple steps this we're we're
1:24:30
considering approving giving our
1:24:33
approval for funds that we've already
1:24:35
given to Arch that Arch already holds
1:24:37
and we're just we're just giving
1:24:38
approval for actually spending the funds
1:24:40
that we gave you previously um a lot of
1:24:43
steps involved a lot of people involved
1:24:45
same thing and probably even more people
1:24:47
involved when it comes to the County's
1:24:49
cdbg funds and probably the transitor
1:24:52
development funds as well so um it's
1:24:55
it's public money it's for a very good
1:24:57
cause there's a lot of people involved
1:24:58
and and and I and I I just want to
1:25:01
highlight that um that the work it takes
1:25:03
to to oversee uh and to coordinate that
1:25:07
uh Arthur your work and uh and of of
1:25:09
your team members is very valuable and
1:25:11
it would takes all of these players and
1:25:13
all of these parts to bring these
1:25:14
together so very much appreciate it I
1:25:16
think it's though they're not being
1:25:17
built here in isqua we've been a big
1:25:19
beneficiary of many of the work that's
1:25:21
been done in the past um I and I I trust
1:25:24
that there'll be opportunities in the
1:25:26
future for us to um to also benefit
1:25:29
within our own City but I'm also
1:25:31
strongly in favor of the overall gain to
1:25:34
the region uh when we when we work with
1:25:36
other uh communities such as belu and
1:25:39
for and as um um uh you know especially
1:25:42
as B and any of these all these places
1:25:44
where these projects are done so very
1:25:46
much support um tonight um this
1:25:51
ask other questions or discussion
1:25:56

1:25:59

1:26:20
uh we were there are seven boxes here

1:26:40
while everyone's picking cookies could I
1:26:42
start with that of course thank you and
1:26:45
Mary Lou pardon me as we're considering
1:26:48
these box choices I want you to know
1:26:50
that this this uh coming Thursday that
1:26:53
myself and a group of friends will be
1:26:55
serving um a meal at the isqua meals
1:26:57
program and if anybody wants to donate
1:26:59
their box of cookies so I can take it
1:27:01
there that evening I'll
1:27:02
glad tape
1:27:06
together thanks Paul um I wanted to talk
1:27:09
a briefly provide a few talking points
1:27:12
about an issue that the Cascade water
1:27:14
Alliance is working on now it's um a
1:27:16
water reuse topic and it's something you
1:27:19
may hear about and so I'd like to
1:27:20
provide you some information so you're
1:27:23
informed when it comes up um King
1:27:26
County has a obligation to reuse water
1:27:30
from its wastewater treatment plant um
1:27:32
it's required to do that and in doing so
1:27:34
in an area where we are water purveyors
1:27:37
we end up with an overlap of
1:27:38
jurisdictions and why would that be an
1:27:41
issue um primarily it's an issue
1:27:44
because
1:27:46
um Cascade members which are um several
1:27:50
cities and water districts share the
1:27:54
cost of building our maintaining our
1:27:57
system and building our future water
1:27:58
system and when a new purveyor comes
1:28:01
into that picture it changes how that
1:28:03
model works and so typically we do not
1:28:06
want to have uh water
1:28:07
purveyors um overlapping because it can
1:28:11
create it can create that um that kind
1:28:14
of a financial situation so in our case
1:28:16
Cascade right now currently has uh
1:28:19
excess of Supply that we have purchased
1:28:22
from the city of Seattle and and so we
1:28:25
can meet some seasonal Peaks but in
1:28:27
general we tend to Trend above what we
1:28:29
need if there were to be new water
1:28:31
sources added to that in certain member
1:28:34
areas of it it changes the uh makes some
1:28:37
of the partners paying more and some of
1:28:38
the partners paying less which goes
1:28:40
against the philosophy of why the
1:28:42
alliance was formed and so Cascade is
1:28:44
going to be working with King County on
1:28:46
this over the next little while and you
1:28:48
may hear about it in the public so the
1:28:50
overlapping jurisdictions the
1:28:52
environmental concerns with using
1:28:54
um waste uh treated uh Wastewater in
1:28:58
irrigation or other applications who
1:29:00
provides for the infrastructure to to um
1:29:04
circulate this repurposed water um how
1:29:07
does this impact uh Cascade water
1:29:09
alliances long range plans and how do we
1:29:11
integrate this new source into our PL so
1:29:13
that's a conversation that's out there
1:29:14
and I just thought I'd give you a little
1:29:15
background on it in case it comes up
1:29:17
when you're out there thanks thanks Mr
1:29:19
Mayor thank you anything else for good
1:29:22
of the order this evening
1:29:24
seeing none then uh we are adjourned
