Staff report:

In 2015, in response to a City Council goal, the Mayor established the Olde Town Vitality Task Force in order to provide recommendations on things the community can do to enhance the vitality of the downtown. Among the Task Force's recommendations was the creation of a streetscape plan to promote a more consistent downtown character and to facilitate pedestrian activity that would support local businesses. The streetscape plan focuses on areas of interest identified by the Olde Town Vitality Task Force within the Cultural Business District (CBD) including Front Street from Bush Street to Gilman Blvd, the entrance to the Hatchery, and the right-of-way area behind Front Street businesses that is adjacent to Pedestrian Park and Depot Park.

9:07 ↗ Fall City and North Bend libraries and

9:11 ↗ um Irene is the librarian services

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

23:52 ↗ moved across the country to be near my

23:54 ↗ brother and me and they're now adult

23:57 ↗ grandchildren so we bought bothered to

23:58 ↗ show up just about every day I'm tired

24:00 ↗ from all of that so regretfully I won't

24:02 ↗ be staying for the whole meeting tonight

24:04 ↗ and I look forward to hearing a full

24:05 ↗ meeting in the near future thank you

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 ↗ um also traffic Comming in the East

33:59 ↗ Sunset area that is just starting the

34:01 ↗ conversation nothing's aside it's just

34:03 ↗ starting open up to the public and

34:04 ↗ starting that conversation and the item

34:07 ↗ that was on our agenda there

34:07 ↗ Transportation Mobility board uh was not

34:10 ↗ taken up it'll be moved to our next

34:12 ↗ meeting on the 28th and I like to thank

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 ↗ doing projects that were in our

34:42 ↗ infrastructure as well um concluding

36:11 ↗ of Health and another representative

36:13 ↗ from the Kitsap health district and they

36:15 ↗ give us an overview on of health and

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

36:26 ↗ and how communities are using Health in

36:28 ↗ planning and how health may be

36:30 ↗ considered during the upcoming update to

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 ↗ housing

36:45 ↗ professionals um with prepared material

36:48 ↗ including Arthur Sullivan of arch and

36:50 ↗ the two other gentlemen were amazingly

36:52 ↗ knowledgeable as well and they talked

36:56 ↗ built in the region and different

36:57 ↗ approaches that cities are using to

36:59 ↗ increase affordable housing uh through

37:01 ↗ incentives and other planning um really

37:04 ↗ the purpose of the discussion was to set

37:06 ↗ the stage for looking at the housing

37:08 ↗ policies again for the upcoming update

37:15 ↗ in this conversation it is um about

37:35 ↗ it I know it's an issue on many people's

39:19 ↗ room uh which is on the same level as

39:22 ↗ chambers and I mention this because of

39:25 ↗ course uh everyone is to attend and this

39:28 ↗ isn't we could we could have frequently

39:30 ↗ our our neighbors to the north samamish

39:32 ↗ and Redmond send lots of people to these

39:34 ↗ meetings and the uh for all of us who

39:36 ↗ are interested in this topic uh I think

39:38 ↗ it's going to be a very interesting

39:40 ↗ presentation uh in addition to that

39:43 ↗ talking about the the meeting that's

39:44 ↗ then going to be held at 7 o'clock we're

39:58 ↗ economic strategy uh there's going to be

40:00 ↗ an upcoming economic Forum in I don't

40:04 ↗ have the date in front of me uh but I

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

43:28 ↗ for the energized east side projects uh

43:31 ↗ 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

57:59 ↗ capital budget policies um I have

58:02 ↗ remarked um before and I'll say it again

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

1:07:09 ↗ fund ending fund balance and direct the

1:07:11 ↗ finance director to include

1:07:14 ↗ $175,000 in subsequent 2017 budget

1:07:18 ↗ 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 ↗ seeing none then all those in favor of

1:25:59 ↗ approving resolution number

1:26:01 ↗ 2017-01 signify by saying I I those was

1:26:06 ↗ opposed that uh carries unanimously

1:26:09 ↗ thank thanks for coming Arthur moving

1:26:11 ↗ now to good of the order uh you'll

1:26:14 ↗ notice at the beginning of the meeting

1:26:17 ↗ that

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

1:26:24 ↗ here so Stacy starting with you take a

1:26:28 ↗ box and pass it down and then uh you get

1:26:33 ↗ that started and then we'll go from go

1:26:36 ↗ from there Mr Mayor I have one item

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
