5:13 ↗ [Music]

5:21 ↗ good evening madam mayor distinguished

5:24 ↗ members of the council my name is

5:25 ↗ Russell Joe business address is one six

5:28 ↗ zero zero one 27th Avenue North East and

5:31 ↗ Bellevue I'm a municipal manager and

5:35 ↗ relationship manager for Republic

5:37 ↗ Services and I'm here tonight because

5:39 ↗ Republic Services handles garbage and

5:44 ↗ recycling responsibilities for an areas

5:46 ↗ directly south of its cause border we

5:49 ↗ also have the contract for Sammamish and

5:52 ↗ for Bellevue and our trucks also roll

5:54 ↗ through roll through I 90 on their way

5:56 ↗ to North Bend so there's a significant

5:59 ↗ transportation impact on your community

6:00 ↗ and I wanted to reach out to you and let

6:03 ↗ you know that I'm available if there's

6:04 ↗ are any issues or problems with our

6:06 ↗ drivers or any of our personnel at all

6:10 ↗ my direct phone number is 14 five six

6:14 ↗ four six two five four one and reach out

6:18 ↗ to me at all hours of the day and night

6:19 ↗ if there's an issue and I'm happy to to

6:21 ↗ assist with any issues that might arise

6:25 ↗ the second reason I'm up here today is I

6:28 ↗ wanted to make you aware that this room

6:30 ↗ here most business days is also our

6:33 ↗ municipal court and when I was on the

6:36 ↗ council between 2000 and 2008 we work to

6:39 ↗ pull our court from the district court

6:42 ↗ system the King County district court

6:44 ↗ system and we made our own Municipal

6:46 ↗ Court and part of the reason we did that

6:47 ↗ was we wanted to increase the level of

6:49 ↗ service to our community members and

6:51 ↗ make sure we were more responsive to the

6:54 ↗ community's needs in terms of community

6:56 ↗ placement release for our people or

6:58 ↗ defendants on bond and release I had the

7:01 ↗ pleasure of serving as your Pro Tem

7:04 ↗ municipal judge for a couple of years

7:07 ↗ and it was a great honor to do that I

7:10 ↗ know how much pressure there is when you

7:12 ↗ do that and I wanted to point out to you

7:14 ↗ that the King County Bar Association I

7:16 ↗ think in April put out a judicial survey

7:19 ↗ of judicial officers and Scott Stewart

7:22 ↗ our municipal judge was rated in that

7:26 ↗ survey

7:26 ↗ that can be found at King K CBA org and

7:30 ↗ you can look at the 2018 judicial

7:33 ↗ officer survey

7:34 ↗ and when I looked it over and you can

7:35 ↗ come to your own conclusion but when I

7:37 ↗ looked it over judge Stewart came out

7:39 ↗ quite well or very highly rated by the

7:45 ↗ people that were in front of him and the

7:46 ↗ people that come in front of him were

7:47 ↗ typically the lawyers that will appear

7:51 ↗ at court in court with Scott Stewart and

7:54 ↗ so he's really out kind of a peer to

7:56 ↗ peer or a direct contact and service

7:58 ↗ level evaluation when when he does that

8:01 ↗ so I would encourage you to look at it

8:03 ↗ just so you can see how well the court

8:05 ↗ is working and you can reach out to

8:08 ↗ judge Stewart and let him know that he's

8:10 ↗ doing a good job if that's the

8:11 ↗ conclusion that you come to as well

8:14 ↗ finally I'd just like to thank you all

8:17 ↗ of you electives for doing what you do

8:19 ↗ as I said I served 8 years and I know

8:22 ↗ the trials and tribulations you go

8:24 ↗ through and the stress should go through

8:26 ↗ and it's all worth it in the end because

8:28 ↗ our community really appreciates

8:30 ↗ appreciates it as well

8:31 ↗ thank you Thank You Russell I think it's

8:38 ↗ awesome that he was a former council

8:39 ↗ member and judge pretend as well but if

8:42 ↗ I can get you to hold your applause that

8:43 ↗ would be great Thanks and thank you

8:45 ↗ Russell you're awesome

8:47 ↗ Shiva Kumar hello dear city Sequoia city

8:59 ↗ mayor and the council members my name is

9:01 ↗ Shiv muta Kumar I am a resident of

9:04 ↗ Issaquah I'm also one of the pastors at

9:06 ↗ Covenant Presbyterian Church of Issaquah

9:09 ↗ on East Lake Sammamish the address is 2

9:12 ↗ to 1 1 6 South East 51st place thank you

9:16 ↗ for the opportunity to address you today

9:18 ↗ on behalf of our church and being a

9:22 ↗ minister I feel bound to speak from the

9:24 ↗ Bible if you will please allow me to

9:26 ↗ quote two verses when Israel was exiled

9:30 ↗ by God God spoke through the Prophet

9:34 ↗ Jeremiah and said but seek the welfare

9:37 ↗ of the city where I have sent you into

9:40 ↗ exile and pray to the Lord on its behalf

9:43 ↗ for in its welfare you will find you

9:47 ↗ welfare this is also the call of our

9:50 ↗ church we are committed to the welfare

9:52 ↗ of the city of Issaquah now when Jesus

9:56 ↗ walked the earth he said to his

9:58 ↗ disciples let the children come to me

10:01 ↗ and do not hinder them for such belongs

10:05 ↗ the kingdom of heaven as a church we are

10:08 ↗ commanded to welcome children and to

10:10 ↗ nurture them so that's our twin mission

10:13 ↗ to bless the city and to welcome the

10:16 ↗ children we are a congregation of about

10:19 ↗ 350 members that includes many young

10:22 ↗ families our church property is used by

10:26 ↗ two other churches with under hundred

10:28 ↗ members each between these three

10:30 ↗ churches we have about 200 children

10:32 ↗ under the age of 18 in addition there

10:36 ↗ are other mentoring services for

10:37 ↗ children that are held at our church

10:40 ↗ property all this to say that our church

10:42 ↗ property is filled with children ranging

10:45 ↗ from infants to high school throughout

10:47 ↗ the week particularly on Sunday morning

10:49 ↗ for worship Sunday school youth group

10:51 ↗ home schools support groups and choir

10:55 ↗ practice throughout the week as leaders

10:58 ↗ and members of our church with me is Ed

11:00 ↗ Harper who is one of the elders we are

11:03 ↗ deeply concerned regarding the proposed

11:05 ↗ establishment of a retail marijuana

11:07 ↗ store next door to us with the address

11:10 ↗ to to 1:06 South East 51st place we have

11:16 ↗ two main safety concerns for our

11:18 ↗ children firstly the close proximity of

11:22 ↗ marijuana to minors the proposed site is

11:25 ↗ adjacent to our church building and

11:28 ↗ please note that it is accessible today

11:31 ↗ only via an easement through our

11:34 ↗ property I note that this easement was

11:37 ↗ granted over 60 years ago for

11:39 ↗ residential purpose only and also this

11:42 ↗ easement goes right next to the

11:45 ↗ playground so that's the second point of

11:47 ↗ concern is the traffic safety the

11:50 ↗ increased retail customer traffic makes

11:53 ↗ the easement accident-prone the easement

11:57 ↗ was granted only for residential use and

11:59 ↗ for residential

12:01 ↗ traffic so in view of this these two

12:04 ↗ concerns we as a church very humbly and

12:08 ↗ respectfully oppose the retail marijuana

12:12 ↗ store at its proposed location we

12:15 ↗ request the City Council and the mayor

12:16 ↗ to help us ensure the safety of our

12:19 ↗ children by not approving the store at

12:21 ↗ this location or in close proximity to

12:24 ↗ our church and I just want to say thank

12:27 ↗ you very much for what you do as leaders

12:29 ↗ of our city for making it a safe in an

12:32 ↗ enjoyable place for us to live to work

12:35 ↗ to play and to worship thank you and god

12:38 ↗ bless you thank you thank you for coming

12:39 ↗ tonight

12:40 ↗ Thanks next week at Harper Thank You

12:49 ↗ counsel Thank You mayor again my name is

12:52 ↗ Edie Harper I am an elder at CPC and I

12:56 ↗ wanted to present a letter to the

12:58 ↗ council and some signatures from

13:01 ↗ attenders and members of our church in

13:03 ↗ support of the opposition so if I could

13:05 ↗ have a grade you can hand it to Emily

13:08 ↗ right here did you also want to address

13:10 ↗ the council just briefly Your Honor if I

13:13 ↗ could I'd like to introduce some of the

13:14 ↗ tenders here with me we have a few of

13:18 ↗ the children that attend the mentoring

13:19 ↗ services Peter and Zaarly Schmidt and

13:24 ↗ grace Burt and I'm sorry Hanna thank you

13:29 ↗ and so these are a few of the members of

13:32 ↗ our mentoring services at our church

13:34 ↗ that meet there during the week briefly

13:37 ↗ about my history and I'm very much our

13:42 ↗ church is very much in support of your

13:44 ↗ proclamation today I think it is more

13:47 ↗ than ironic and it's not a coincidence

13:49 ↗ that we plan to come here and that you

13:52 ↗ had the proclamation on the same evening

13:54 ↗ it's not something we planned but it

13:56 ↗ couldn't have been more fortuitous so

13:57 ↗ thank you your honor for doing that and

13:59 ↗ we think we're at the frontlines of

14:02 ↗ stopping even substance abuse from

14:04 ↗ starting for children such as this that

14:06 ↗ might be exposed at a at a very young

14:08 ↗ age and as we know the studies show that

14:11 ↗ the

14:12 ↗ increase in drug abuse happens when even

14:17 ↗ preteen if they're exposed to drugs and

14:19 ↗ so that's one major reason why we oppose

14:22 ↗ that location we understand the

14:25 ↗ licensing issues with the state and we

14:30 ↗ think that churches should be included

14:32 ↗ in the thousand foot buffer but that's

14:34 ↗ the state law and we understand but

14:36 ↗ we're taking steps in that regard as

14:38 ↗ well and personally on a personal note

14:43 ↗ drug abuse has hit my family personally

14:46 ↗ I started out with five cousins and I'm

14:50 ↗ the youngest of those five and I only

14:53 ↗ have one left and they've all died

14:55 ↗ because of drug abuse or alcohol abuse

14:58 ↗ substance abuse and they were all

15:01 ↗ younger than 65 and and I was a drug

15:05 ↗ user two in high school because a friend

15:07 ↗ introduced me to marijuana when I was in

15:09 ↗ ninth grade and it's it's affected me

15:13 ↗ today and I think it's hindered my

15:14 ↗ growth as a person and I still have

15:17 ↗ regrets really at age of 14 children

15:20 ↗ don't know what they're doing and what

15:23 ↗ they're putting in their body for

15:24 ↗ personal so my personal testimony is

15:27 ↗ please do whatever you can to support

15:30 ↗ this proclamation we will do whatever we

15:32 ↗ can to support the proclamation feel

15:34 ↗ free to use our church we have a great

15:37 ↗ sanctuary if it sees 400 people if you

15:40 ↗ want to have meetings there we're happy

15:42 ↗ to open up our church for this type of

15:44 ↗ thing so please take it upon yourself to

15:47 ↗ help us in stopping the spread of drugs

15:51 ↗ in one way you can do that it's not

15:53 ↗ allowing the green grotto to go right

15:55 ↗ next door to our church thank you for

15:58 ↗ sharing your story at you it shows there

16:01 ↗ anyone else I go Cyrus Crone

16:10 ↗ good evening my name is Cyrus Crowne I

16:12 ↗ live at 300 southeast Bush Street I

16:16 ↗ wasn't gonna come in here and talk about

16:17 ↗ this but I'm struck by what I just heard

16:20 ↗ I was actually on my way to the brew

16:23 ↗ house and and then to listen to Yoda and

16:28 ↗ to hear you and not being aware of the

16:30 ↗ store being where it's being proposed I

16:32 ↗ think there were a mosque or a temple or

16:36 ↗ a synagogue or a church everyone would

16:38 ↗ be equally opposed to having something

16:40 ↗ like that in their proximity so I guess

16:44 ↗ I stand in support of them if you want

16:46 ↗ to log me kind of ad-hoc here the real

16:50 ↗ reason I came was to thank you for what

16:53 ↗ you did with the streets I emailed you

16:56 ↗ recently I came home in Old Town and I

17:00 ↗ came down and all of the temporary speed

17:03 ↗ humps have been removed and then they

17:05 ↗ put in these new ones that didn't look

17:06 ↗ so good so I was firing off emails

17:08 ↗ rustle you probably heard this from

17:11 ↗ citizens getting upset so I want to make

17:14 ↗ sure you address the council because yes

17:16 ↗ council I apologize I want so I just

17:18 ↗ came to thank you because at first it

17:20 ↗ didn't seem like they were gonna be

17:21 ↗ beneficial and in fact they were I came

17:23 ↗ home early from work with my phone and I

17:26 ↗ was flagging it for a couple of hours

17:27 ↗ and my wife said how's it going and I

17:29 ↗ turned to her and I said I actually

17:31 ↗ think they work pretty well and then I

17:32 ↗ sent you an apology so it's easy to

17:34 ↗ lambast and get upset and give the

17:36 ↗ councilmembers a hard time it's a lot

17:38 ↗ harder to come in and say thank you and

17:39 ↗ I hope more people do it when they

17:40 ↗ appreciate what you do so thank you very

17:43 ↗ much Cyrus thank you very much anyone

17:46 ↗ else signed up no is there anyone else

17:49 ↗ here this evening who would like to

17:50 ↗ address the council

19:20 ↗ Thank You Kathy Steve

19:34 ↗ you know all steeper our old town for I

19:38 ↗ guess is about 11 years now so I wonder

19:41 ↗ set in context yes first couple things I

19:44 ↗ wanted to thank both the Issaquah

19:45 ↗ Highlands Council and the City Council

19:47 ↗ or city leadership for recent

19:50 ↗ legislation forums that were held both

19:53 ↗ in the whisker Islands and here in the

19:55 ↗ City Council democracy is a good thing

19:57 ↗ so I I'm glad to see had a chance to for

20:00 ↗ them have candidates president and have

20:01 ↗ questions answers so thank you all what

20:04 ↗ brings me here today is the old town

20:09 ↗ neighborhood district plan is going to

20:10 ↗ come before one of the city council

20:12 ↗ committee me and so I want to talk about

20:14 ↗ that but I want to talk about with all

20:15 ↗ of you instead of just with the new with

20:17 ↗ individual council subcommittees and I

20:21 ↗ wanted to tell two stories the first was

20:24 ↗ in 1976 I became a teenager but it's

20:27 ↗ also the year that they introduced the

20:30 ↗ best nail ice eternal coins on the

20:32 ↗ quarter of the 50 cent piece the silver

20:34 ↗ dollar and dollar bill and for me it was

20:37 ↗ just kind of this idea we hearken back

20:39 ↗ and remember our roots who we came from

20:41 ↗ where we are and that kind of seems to

20:44 ↗ set in for what the Old Town

20:45 ↗ neighborhood is a cultural business

20:46 ↗ district and something looks and feels

20:49 ↗ unique and different while there are a

20:51 ↗ lot of good or the first story said in

20:54 ↗ context the second story was sometimes

20:57 ↗ we have a chance at night to walk around

20:58 ↗ is hard when it's not raining and not

20:59 ↗ overcast and look up and see the stars

21:01 ↗ and sky and we that kind of sense of is

21:04 ↗ kind of disappearing that has immense

21:08 ↗ value I think we ought to consider that

21:10 ↗ as one of the intrinsic values that is

21:12 ↗ part of who is why is and who we want to

21:13 ↗ become am long to remember and not just

21:16 ↗ have lost because two of the things that

21:21 ↗ I disliked in Basel or increasing to

21:24 ↗ three stories and the increase of

21:25 ↗ previous impervious surfaces from 65% to

21:29 ↗ 95% you're gonna get a whole different

21:33 ↗ look and scale and size and scope of

21:35 ↗ buildings that aren't in keeping with

21:37 ↗ that district it's not within the scope

21:39 ↗ of what the people who lived here when

21:41 ↗ the central plan was put up we've we

21:45 ↗ said this area's specifically excluded

21:47 ↗ for

21:47 ↗ it was not what the plan of the scope

21:49 ↗ was it's out of scope and character for

21:51 ↗ the neighborhood it's not what we were

21:53 ↗ promised to to put those increased scale

21:56 ↗ on scope of buildings in that area well

22:00 ↗ there are a lot of good things in the

22:01 ↗ plan I don't think three stories or the

22:04 ↗ ingress impervious surfaces is in

22:06 ↗ keeping with what we were promised and

22:07 ↗ what we're committed to and I'm looking

22:08 ↗ to all of you to kind of help rein that

22:11 ↗ back

22:12 ↗ and another thing stands out a lot of

22:15 ↗ times in the documentary talks about how

22:18 ↗ to do these things in conjunction with

22:19 ↗ the downtown is a quad Association and

22:21 ↗ I'm glad to see they're involved but I

22:24 ↗ don't like to see them called out so

22:25 ↗ much that they're having a large driving

22:27 ↗ vision I like to see the neighborhood's

22:29 ↗ involved but let's see the neighbors

22:30 ↗ involved I'd like to have them called

22:32 ↗ out just as much of stakeholders as

22:34 ↗ downtown is quads association because

22:36 ↗ they have a scope and a vision and a

22:38 ↗ plan for what they want and that's

22:41 ↗ having to large urban scope and a scale

22:43 ↗ for what this area deserves it wants to

22:45 ↗ be so I would like your help in kind of

22:48 ↗ curtailing that or at least making sure

22:51 ↗ that that is reflective of what the

22:54 ↗ whole neighborhood and community wants

22:55 ↗ and not just what dia wants thank you

25:34 ↗ to thank all of you who took the time to

25:36 ↗ talk with your council tonight and

25:38 ↗ myself and we all recognize how hard it

25:41 ↗ is to get up on a microphone especially

25:42 ↗ on camera it was great to hear from

25:44 ↗ three different folks about the visited

25:47 ↗ Sequoia organization which is on our

25:48 ↗ agenda for as an item this evening and

25:52 ↗ also to get to talk to get a

25:57 ↗ from some covenant purpose presbyterian

26:01 ↗ church members talking about land use

26:07 ↗ control and salmon days and our old town

26:09 ↗ plan thank you all so much for coming in

26:11 ↗ and sharing your thoughts with us

26:12 ↗ tonight

26:18 ↗ now now that audience comments our

26:20 ↗ clothes will move to Committee and

26:22 ↗ regional reports and we'll start with

26:23 ↗ councilmember hunt thank you madam mayor

26:26 ↗ on September 20th I attended the riot 8

26:30 ↗ salmon recovery council meeting and we

26:32 ↗ had two action items the first one was

26:35 ↗ recommending investment to conduct a

26:38 ↗ feasibility study of options for

26:39 ↗ addressing elevated temperature and low

26:42 ↗ oxygen in the Lake Washington shipping

26:45 ↗ canal salmon require well oxygenated

26:47 ↗ water and cold water so the conditions

26:50 ↗ in the shipping canal are a concern and

26:54 ↗ it was recommended to have a review and

26:59 ↗ since synthesis of the data and

27:01 ↗ literature and then convene up to four

27:02 ↗ stakeholder workshops on this topic the

27:05 ↗ second action item was to review and

27:09 ↗ consider the 2018 riot project

27:13 ↗ subcommittee grant funding and there is

27:16 ↗ a list of the projects that are

27:19 ↗ recommended with and there's a lot of

27:21 ↗ detail in that list and it's available

27:25 ↗ on the Rite Aid salmon recovery website

27:27 ↗ but one thing that was interesting is

27:28 ↗ that the funds for the Puget Sound the

27:32 ↗ funds are for Puget Sound acquisition

27:33 ↗ and restoration grants and they come

27:36 ↗ from the state capital budget the

27:40 ↗ allocation and the allocation of grant

27:43 ↗ funds entailed a trader swap of fund

27:45 ↗ between Raya 8 and other riah's so in

27:50 ↗ this case there was an less than the

27:54 ↗ full amount allocated within Raya 8 and

27:56 ↗ so they swapped funding with Raya 7 and

27:58 ↗ Raya 14 and then in a future grant

28:01 ↗ rounds it will be returned back to riot

28:04 ↗ so I thought that was an interesting

28:07 ↗ swap of funding for a number of very

28:09 ↗ important restoration and acquisition

28:11 ↗ projects and then the salmon recovery

28:16 ↗ Council funding board recommended

28:18 ↗ several projects including meadow Dale

28:20 ↗ Beach Park and estuary restoration and

28:22 ↗ Wilmore floodplain restoration

28:25 ↗ we also heard from the Army Corps of

28:28 ↗ Engineers about recent funding awarded

28:30 ↗ by Congress for Ballard lock repairs

28:33 ↗ this is a issue that has been very

28:37 ↗ important for salmon recovery and the

28:40 ↗ funding will be used to replace large

28:41 ↗ lock valves and machinery the next

28:45 ↗ meeting of the salmon recovery Council

28:46 ↗ will be Thursday November 15th and will

28:50 ↗ be at the Mercer Island Community Center

28:52 ↗ and then I also have a new regional

28:54 ↗ commitment which will be as an alternate

28:57 ↗ on the king Conservation District

28:58 ↗ Advisory Committee and so the next

29:02 ↗ meeting of the King Conservation

29:03 ↗ District Advisory Committee will be

29:04 ↗ October 17th at 4 to 6 p.m. at the

29:08 ↗ Mercer Island community & Event Center

29:09 ↗ and that will be my first meeting on the

29:12 ↗ committee thank you that concludes my

30:18 ↗ member Ramos Thank You mayor the council

30:22 ↗ Infrastructure Committee met on

30:23 ↗ September 20th last Thursday and there

30:28 ↗ were four items on the agenda two of

30:55 ↗ on the 19th I attended the regional

31:00 ↗ transit committee meeting and we had a

31:03 ↗ couple items there of interest one is

31:05 ↗ talking about the development of the

31:08 ↗ Metro 1920 budget and the good news is

31:13 ↗ they're having a budget the bad news is

31:15 ↗ is not as much going to the expanding

31:18 ↗ the system as they'd like so that's not

31:21 ↗ on the the course we would like to have

31:23 ↗ it ons but we'll keep pushing on them on

31:25 ↗ that another thing on there is a bus

31:28 ↗ based capacity and they need more bus

31:30 ↗ bases that is the limiting factor in

31:31 ↗ expansion of Metro Transit there's just

31:33 ↗ no more place to to park or maintain

31:37 ↗ buses and so they're working very

31:38 ↗ diligently on getting at least one more

31:40 ↗ base and a second one eventually as well

31:42 ↗ so they give us a plans on how they're

31:44 ↗ trying to get that done and that

39:40 ↗ to make a presentation good evening

39:47 ↗ council members mayor administration

39:49 ↗ we're here tonight to discuss economic

39:51 ↗ development manager for the city Tim

39:53 ↗ better we're here tonight to discuss the

39:55 ↗ bylaws of the visit acqua organization

39:57 ↗ this being the only item I wasn't sure

39:59 ↗ if I should be excited or terribly

40:01 ↗ nervous but I'm excited I'm gonna go

40:04 ↗ with excited we have four board members

40:06 ↗ in the audience tonight Quinn's actually

40:07 ↗ is here as well so I'm excited to have

40:09 ↗ their support have them here so if we go

40:13 ↗ back in May I was directed to file the

40:16 ↗ Articles of Incorporation and to form

40:18 ↗ that panel of five members to choose the

40:21 ↗ board of directors when they did that

40:23 ↗ they created slots through the bylaws of

40:25 ↗ certain positions that they wanted to

40:27 ↗ have filled and if you look to the right

40:29 ↗ if you can tell them kind of a visual

40:31 ↗ person you see who is represented in

40:33 ↗ those slots from the two hotels we have

40:36 ↗ wil Parkinson and Quinn Pham marketing

40:38 ↗ representative would be Jeff Walker the

40:40 ↗ restaurants are still in the process of

40:42 ↗ finding that individual I believe will

40:43 ↗ is making progress on that the two

40:46 ↗ amenities and attractions Jennifer

40:47 ↗ Fink's from our Parks Department is

40:49 ↗ represented because our parks are one of

40:51 ↗ our amenities and attractions and Ron

40:53 ↗ fall to represent the outdoor biking

40:55 ↗ industry the local Association is the

40:58 ↗ Chamber of Commerce with our CEO Kathy

41:00 ↗ McCrory and then four at-large members

41:02 ↗ Sarah Holly Patti Hagar and Fabrice

41:05 ↗ Yacht there's still two seats open that

41:07 ↗ they need to pursue it that they can

41:09 ↗ pursue they saw the restaurant seat open

41:11 ↗ and they still have one at-large member

41:13 ↗ still to be placed in a position the

41:19 ↗ bylaws the board of directors their

41:20 ↗ first term will begin on December 1st

41:23 ↗ just because we had to buy some time I

41:25 ↗ didn't know how long it would take that

41:26 ↗ panel to form the board so their

41:28 ↗ official date will start on December 1st

41:30 ↗ and then at that

41:31 ↗ already chosen if they're serving two or

41:33 ↗ three years terms and then after that

41:34 ↗ every terms a three-year term like most

41:36 ↗ board of directors they have a chair a

41:38 ↗ vice chair they wanted me to combine the

41:41 ↗ treasurer and the secretary so that was

41:42 ↗ done and in their meetings call for no

41:44 ↗ less than nine annually which buys them

41:46 ↗ a little bit of wiggle room I would

41:47 ↗ assume that they would meet twelve times

41:49 ↗ a year but sometimes things come up and

41:52 ↗ you know if y'all know quorum sometimes

41:53 ↗ you don't have those meetings so that

41:54 ↗ gives them a little freedom in that area

41:58 ↗ so this went to services and safety and

42:01 ↗ it was presented as services and safety

42:02 ↗ it was voted on and it went through

42:04 ↗ three Oh at that meeting

42:06 ↗ councilmember hunt asked me if I had

42:08 ↗ sought legal review on the bylaws and I

42:10 ↗ made a mistake I had sought Jim's advice

42:13 ↗ Jim and I talked about thorak

42:15 ↗ eliminations certain portions of the

42:17 ↗ bylaws but I hadn't gotten them in front

42:18 ↗ of the clerk's and four in front of Jim

42:20 ↗ for complete review so when we did that

42:22 ↗ like most attorneys he caught some

42:24 ↗ inconsistencies and they're fairly minor

42:28 ↗ what we discussed was is this

42:31 ↗ organization an independent nonprofit

42:33 ↗ organization or is it a sub agency of

42:35 ↗ the city and we decided it's a

42:36 ↗ non-profit independent organization so

42:39 ↗ once we had clarified that then we

42:42 ↗ needed to go back and these are the

42:43 ↗ changes that we had to make that they

42:44 ↗ don't need to I had my mind an LTAC row

42:47 ↗ when I wrote the our cw2 public notice

42:50 ↗ meetings just like the alt tag has to

42:51 ↗ and most of our Commission's do but they

42:54 ↗ don't need to because they're a

42:55 ↗ non-profit independent organization so

42:57 ↗ they had the choice to do that that can

42:58 ↗ hold open public meetings but they don't

43:00 ↗ have to so we cut that out of the bylaws

43:02 ↗ the second part at dissolution at the

43:06 ↗ very end of the bylaws called for the

43:08 ↗ city to approve if the organization was

43:10 ↗ going to dissolve but since it's not a

43:12 ↗ sub agency of the city that didn't make

43:14 ↗ sense as well so we took that portion

43:15 ↗ out and then the third and final portion

43:18 ↗ was again had to do with dissolution

43:21 ↗ basically changing the language of that

43:23 ↗ sort of matched the state law I have one

43:28 ↗ more slide the next steps for the DMO

43:30 ↗ developed there 2019 budget requests of

43:33 ↗ the el ataque they've already done that

43:34 ↗ they've requested their budget it's in

43:35 ↗ I'm secure the funding from this year we

43:38 ↗ need to get them we need to move the

43:39 ↗ funds from the city coffers into their

43:42 ↗ account which we're in the process of

43:43 ↗ doing through the economic

43:44 ↗ Department they need to append these

43:46 ↗ bylaws on October 17th

43:49 ↗ I wanted them to get them amended before

43:51 ↗ because they've already adopted them

43:52 ↗ they adopted them

43:53 ↗ June 21st okay

43:58 ↗ they'd already adopted them so I wanted

44:00 ↗ to get them to amend them before I came

44:01 ↗ here tonight but the bylaws say you have

44:03 ↗ to get 10 days notice so hopefully they

44:05 ↗ will adopt these at October 17th these

44:07 ↗ these amendments and complete the job

44:10 ↗ description for the executive director

44:11 ↗ in postage position and then to hire

44:13 ↗ their executive director so they're

44:15 ↗ moving quickly I know they want to put

44:17 ↗ in a lot of effort I want to thank all

44:18 ↗ the board members I want to thank the

44:19 ↗ panel for moving so quickly I know you

44:21 ↗ guys are meeting every two weeks so

44:23 ↗ thank you for all of your time and

44:24 ↗ effort in this questions thank you Tim

44:28 ↗ questions and Chris as chair of services

44:32 ↗ did you have any additional information

44:33 ↗ dad no I would totally make a movement

44:36 ↗ our motion are the questions I come to

44:40 ↗ my parent so regarding the change or

44:46 ↗ dissolution could you go back to that

44:48 ↗ jerk slide please

44:52 ↗ what is it what does it mean at the end

44:56 ↗ when it says membership clarified under

44:58 ↗ dissolution sure so do you remember when

45:00 ↗ we discussed that the services and

45:02 ↗ safety that it has to be a

45:03 ↗ membership-based organization the

45:05 ↗ membership consists of the board of

45:06 ↗ directors but at any given time in the

45:08 ↗ future they can add additional members

45:10 ↗ for example of the city of Sioux managed

45:12 ↗ wanted to become a member they could

45:13 ↗ write a procedure and a process for what

45:15 ↗ that looks like to include other members

45:17 ↗ but for now it's just the Board of

45:19 ↗ Directors so when we read the language

45:20 ↗ and Jim might have to clarify some of

45:23 ↗ this for me when we read the language it

45:24 ↗ said that to dissolve the Board of

45:26 ↗ Directors means to make a recommendation

45:28 ↗ to the membership to dissolve and that

45:31 ↗ wouldn't make sense if you didn't have

45:32 ↗ any other membership besides the Board

45:34 ↗ of Directors so the language that is

45:36 ↗ stated in your packet basically says if

45:38 ↗ no other membership exists besides the

45:40 ↗ Board of Directors then that

45:41 ↗ recommendation is final okay and with

45:46 ↗ the if they did choose to have

45:49 ↗ additional members beyond the Board of

45:51 ↗ Directors would they what role would

45:53 ↗ they have

45:55 ↗ it would be up to the board of directors

45:56 ↗ to design what that looks like but to

45:59 ↗ make it a c6 it had to be membership

46:01 ↗ based so when I've worked with other

46:03 ↗ demos and did some research basically

46:04 ↗ they're all 501 C 6 because the C 3s are

46:07 ↗ reserved for terrible organizations

46:09 ↗ religious organizations and educational

46:11 ↗ organizations which this doesn't

46:13 ↗ necessarily fall under they might grab

46:15 ↗ aspects of the educational components

46:16 ↗ but they need to be a c6 so when I'm

46:18 ↗ speaking to the other demos they use the

46:20 ↗ board as the members membership based

46:23 ↗ organizations they could do it a number

46:24 ↗ of different ways they could create

46:25 ↗ criteria and a process and an

46:27 ↗ application process or approach certain

46:29 ↗ partners however they want to do it

46:31 ↗ but at this time the membership is just

46:33 ↗ the board of directors it leaves that

46:35 ↗ door open okay and then one more

46:38 ↗ question on the dissolution the

46:39 ↗ it says the assets of visit Issaquah

46:42 ↗ shall be distributed in accordance with

46:44 ↗ state law could you elaborate a little

46:47 ↗ bit on what that would look like

46:48 ↗ all right Jim's let me see if I've got

46:50 ↗ this right first all the debts get paid

46:52 ↗ off everything goes back to where it's

46:54 ↗ supposed to go what's the third one

46:57 ↗ charitable organizations well Jim is

47:08 ↗ looking are there any other questions

47:10 ↗ okay then we'll wait for the answer okay

47:14 ↗ so the first the first is that all of

47:17 ↗ the debts get paid that's the first

47:18 ↗ thing that happens then after that

47:20 ↗ assets which are held by the corporation

47:23 ↗ and which were given to the corporation

47:25 ↗ on condition that they be returned if

47:28 ↗ the corporation ever dissolved those go

47:30 ↗ back to those those organizations that

47:33 ↗ gave them third is any assets which are

47:41 ↗ permitted to be used only for charitable

47:44 ↗ purposes go to charities for other

47:47 ↗ assets would be distributed then in

47:51 ↗ accordance with any provisions in the

47:52 ↗ Articles of Incorporation the Articles

47:54 ↗ of Incorporation can have provisions in

47:56 ↗ them and then last

48:00 ↗ if there's anything left over after all

48:02 ↗ of that any remaining assets can be

48:05 ↗ distributed to corporations whether

48:09 ↗ profit or nonprofit as specified by a

48:12 ↗ plan of distribution adopted by the by

48:15 ↗ the Board of Directors so there's a

48:19 ↗ specific hierarchy in the state law as

48:21 ↗ to how you distribute the assets and

48:23 ↗ rather than repeating all of that in in

48:26 ↗ here and particularly because it could I

48:28 ↗ suppose change although it hasn't since

48:30 ↗ 1967 we just decided to say that it

48:34 ↗ would be distributed as provided in

48:36 ↗ state law could you explain why the

48:43 ↗ secretary and the treasurer are together

48:46 ↗ as one position yeah that was a request

48:49 ↗ made from the Board of Directors I

48:50 ↗ believe it this time that they just

48:51 ↗ didn't want to create too many slots too

48:53 ↗ many officers so they just requested

48:57 ↗ that I combine the treasurer and the

48:58 ↗ secretary is one person I would imagine

49:01 ↗ down the road that could change under

49:02 ↗ their bylaws but being in start-up mode

49:05 ↗ it might make sense to have that person

49:06 ↗ do both of both of those tasks and she's

49:10 ↗ here tonight Tim I wonder if you could

49:19 ↗ use had mentioned that there was some

49:21 ↗ positions that were yet to be filled

49:23 ↗ yeah um would you be able to tell the

49:26 ↗ council how those positions get

49:27 ↗ advertised sure so when the service is

49:32 ↗ in safety I put the slide of how the

49:34 ↗ public notice went out we used our

49:35 ↗ channels the Chamber's channels to put

49:38 ↗ out the information that these positions

49:39 ↗ are open they did application process

49:41 ↗ that process did closed so I would have

49:45 ↗ to defer to the board ask how they're

49:48 ↗ how they're letting people that know

49:50 ↗ that yeah question

49:54 ↗ so Tim how many applications did we get

49:56 ↗ for board membership 30 around 30

50:03 ↗ okay thank you there's no other

50:08 ↗ questions I'd entertain a motion I'm

50:10 ↗ gonna make a slight modification from

50:11 ↗ the language that's included here and

50:15 ↗ move to the City Council endorsed the

50:21 ↗ visiting squad bylaws with the

50:23 ↗ recommended amendments as shown in

50:25 ↗ Exhibit C to the agenda bill okay you

50:29 ↗ say that one more time

50:30 ↗ City Council would move to have the

50:33 ↗ Issaquah City Council endorse visited

50:36 ↗ squad bylaws with the recommended

50:39 ↗ amendments as shown in Exhibit C to the

50:41 ↗ agenda bill is there a second

50:45 ↗ it moved in seconded is there any issue

50:49 ↗ with the adjustment yeah our tisha sorry

50:52 ↗ great it's been moved and seconded is

50:55 ↗ there any discussion that's a member

50:57 ↗ right I just want to make a couple of

50:59 ↗ comments on this I'm really excited

51:02 ↗ about this opportunity there was a lot

51:04 ↗ of work that went into taking this

51:06 ↗ concept forward and getting us to this

51:09 ↗ place that we're at right now I think

51:11 ↗ that it will really help us share our

51:13 ↗ community with others near and far as we

51:15 ↗ start to draw in a larger base of

51:19 ↗ visitors to our community it's going to

51:22 ↗ take a great deal of effort and work to

51:25 ↗ achieve the mission of visit district

51:26 ↗ wah there's this is no small feat and

51:29 ↗ and as a community our success is rooted

51:33 ↗ in inclusion and working together and

51:35 ↗ openly and so as this organization goes

51:38 ↗ forward is my firm belief that its

51:40 ↗ success will be rooted in that

51:42 ↗ collaboration and openness and I'm

51:45 ↗ excited that we're ready to launch visit

51:47 ↗ us at quad it's been a long time and

51:48 ↗ then finally I just want to recognize

51:50 ↗ and thank Tim that are for the work that

51:52 ↗ he has done in shepherding this concept

51:54 ↗ through to completion so thank you Tim

51:56 ↗ Thank You councilmember Wray thank you

51:58 ↗ that's member hunt you had your hand up

52:01 ↗ thank you I I wanted to make one comment

52:06 ↗ which is that I think that dia the

52:09 ↗ downtown Issaquah Association they are a

52:12 ↗ very important part of tourism

52:15 ↗ in Issaquah they organized a lot of

52:17 ↗ events and have a lot of knowledge about

52:20 ↗ why people are coming to its akua's

52:23 ↗ visitors and and how to make their place

52:26 ↗ make their stay pleasant and I think

52:30 ↗ that involving them in some way is

52:32 ↗ important when it when this came up in

52:36 ↗ the services and safety meeting I asked

52:37 ↗ if there was a connection between this

52:40 ↗ organization and downtown Issaquah and

52:42 ↗ it sounded to me like there isn't and I

52:44 ↗ really think that it is important that

52:46 ↗ that there is a way for visitors Watts

52:50 ↗ work with Dia

52:52 ↗ so that that's one concern that I have

52:56 ↗ and then the other thing is I I

52:59 ↗ understand the reasoning for why the

53:01 ↗ secretary and the treasure would be

53:02 ↗ combined I think that with the number of

53:06 ↗ board directors just it would be my

53:10 ↗ suggestion that positions not combine

53:12 ↗ too much because I think that different

53:16 ↗ people on the board of directors could

53:18 ↗ play those different roles as they're

53:19 ↗ laid out in the bylaws and I also know

53:23 ↗ that the bylaws can change over time and

53:25 ↗ probably will change over time and the

53:30 ↗ last thing is that with the with those

53:33 ↗ last two positions I hope that there is

53:35 ↗ a real outreach effort and that there it

53:39 ↗ sounds like there has been a lot of

53:40 ↗ interest in the community for all of the

53:42 ↗ positions and hopefully that continues I

53:44 ↗ I think that there are a lot of other

53:48 ↗ skills that could be brought in and I'm

53:50 ↗ I am overall very excited to see what

53:52 ↗ the visitors qua organization does so

53:56 ↗ thank you Thank You councilmember hunt

53:59 ↗ is there anyone else who'd like to speak

54:00 ↗ Katzman Ramos just couple quick things I

54:04 ↗ think this is great and I can say we've

54:06 ↗ been looking forward to getting this

54:07 ↗ going for quite a while the question

54:11 ↗ just to clarify some things you said

54:12 ↗ that I think that's it's pretty clear

54:14 ↗ that this is going to be their own

54:16 ↗ separate entity so as you said the

54:19 ↗ council will not have any kind of you

54:21 ↗ know legal connection and all they're

54:24 ↗ going to be doing stuff of course we

54:25 ↗ will work together as needed whenever

54:26 ↗ possible and I just

54:29 ↗ the difference comes over a and

54:32 ↗ originally was support versus endorse

54:34 ↗ because they're gonna go forward and do

54:36 ↗ this and we're basically just at this

54:37 ↗ point just you know saying yes go

54:40 ↗ forward but we have no authority except

54:43 ↗ worth letting the world know where's

54:44 ↗ behind them but the council member rien

54:46 ↗ question if I felt like endorse was a

54:50 ↗ stronger verb than was support and I

54:53 ↗ wanted to use that stronger word go

55:00 ↗ forth and do good work any other

55:03 ↗ comments or questions before I call for

55:05 ↗ the vote okay all those in favor of

55:10 ↗ these Quest City Council endorsing the

55:12 ↗ visit Issaquah bylaws with the

55:14 ↗ recommended amendments as shown in

55:15 ↗ Exhibit C to the agenda bill please

55:18 ↗ signify by saying aye as opposed the

55:22 ↗ passes unanimously

55:23 ↗ thank you the next item on the agenda

55:26 ↗ this evening is good of the order and I

55:28 ↗ know the council president marks has

55:30 ↗ already said that he has at least one

55:31 ↗ item for that thank you madam mayor so

55:38 ↗ at the last council meeting I referred

55:43 ↗ to a one-page basically a one pager that

55:48 ↗ was the SCA legislated the proposed SCA

55:54 ↗ 2018 legislative agenda for the 2019

55:59 ↗ year and I asked council members to take

56:04 ↗ a look at that there are three main

56:07 ↗ items three main elements to it

56:09 ↗ adjusting the property tax cap investing

56:13 ↗ in public health services and addressing

56:15 ↗ the housing and homelessness crisis and

56:17 ↗ so what I want to ask you this evening

56:20 ↗ is if you have any feedback that you

56:24 ↗ want me to convey to pick when we

56:27 ↗ discussed this because it's my

56:29 ↗ expectation that there will be a motion

56:30 ↗ to move this as written to be the picket

56:34 ↗ legislative agenda so

56:37 ↗ just wonder if anybody has any thoughts

56:39 ↗ or concerns some never Ray looks no I'm

56:45 ↗ just I just usually have a thought no

56:54 ↗ all right well then I will assume well

56:58 ↗ with this stuff we have on our

57:00 ↗ legislative agenda as well which is

57:01 ↗ great that's SCA zwey there i have a

57:05 ↗ great pulse on what the cities are

57:07 ↗ interested in working on

57:08 ↗ I completely agree so I'm glad it sounds

57:11 ↗ like we're pretty good chums member hunt

57:14 ↗ did you have it yes and it's more of a

57:16 ↗ question so with the with the 1% cap it

57:22 ↗ talks about how the the it that the tax

57:27 ↗ is a revenue source for supporting

57:29 ↗ critical services or was there a

57:31 ↗ discussion about potential impact on

57:33 ↗ critical services or well I think it's

57:37 ↗ an ongoing conversation at pic about how

57:39 ↗ the 1% basically steers when you're

57:44 ↗ trying to look for additional monies it

57:47 ↗ basically steers away from some of the

57:49 ↗ more progressive forms of Taxation so

57:52 ↗ this this one has sort of a long history

57:54 ↗ with municipalities feeling like this

58:00 ↗ this hinders the ability to have a

58:03 ↗ comprehensive conversation about where

58:05 ↗ we're going to fund the things that we

58:06 ↗ want to that we want to offer our

58:08 ↗ citizens that answer your question it's

58:12 ↗ a very good question that we will

58:15 ↗ revisit during budget deliberations as

58:18 ↗ we talk about new revenues and what we

58:21 ↗ collect what we anticipate collecting

58:23 ↗ and what you will be able to purchase or

58:26 ↗ service than that so that's a really

58:28 ↗ great question that you will revisit in

58:30 ↗ our budget Thanks

58:31 ↗ I mean I'll say this one hits

58:34 ↗ established communities harder than

58:36 ↗ growing communities right I think it's a

58:38 ↗ quest sees a lot of funding options that

58:42 ↗ you know cities like you know shoreline

58:45 ↗ that are just further along and

58:47 ↗ and have less growth occurring you know

58:51 ↗ I mean so some growth is occurring

58:52 ↗ throughout the county but different

58:54 ↗ municipalities have have different

58:56 ↗ amounts of it and and this 1% there's a

58:58 ↗ lot of communities for whom that is the

59:00 ↗ primary source of revenue and so the 1%

59:03 ↗ really really really constraints the

59:05 ↗ conversation they can have about what

59:06 ↗ services to offer any other good of the

59:10 ↗ order a couple of items I was gonna add

59:13 ↗ thanks thank you

59:15 ↗ the council member were interesting

59:18 ↗ council member Ramos and myself attended

59:21 ↗ two different ruckus house roadmap to

59:23 ↗ Washington's future bill and I happened

59:25 ↗ to attend the one together and I thought

59:27 ↗ I would just give you a kind of a quick

59:29 ↗ update on what ville and I had heard and

59:32 ↗ the kind of conversation we participated

59:34 ↗ in the question is is this working the

59:37 ↗ way we thought it should growth

59:38 ↗ management act and it was structured

59:41 ↗ around what is specifically working and

59:43 ↗ what is not working and what data and

59:47 ↗ information we may need to have in order

59:48 ↗ to make some policy recommended policy

59:50 ↗ changes this what is specifically

59:53 ↗ working that couple of big things that

59:55 ↗ came up were holding the line and

59:57 ↗ preventing sprawl which ended up

59:59 ↗ resulting in preserving open space in

1:00:01 ↗ real space that's the obvious that's

1:00:03 ↗ what it wanted to do and it did do that

1:00:05 ↗ what is not working had a few more

1:00:08 ↗ points to it decision-making is very

1:00:12 ↗ complicated and has many layers it's a

1:00:14 ↗ very problematic system there's a

1:00:17 ↗ one-size-fits-all approach whether

1:00:18 ↗ you're in the center of a growing area

1:00:20 ↗ or at the edge of it infrastructure

1:00:24 ↗ schools and utilities are currently not

1:00:26 ↗ keeping up intern pace and they are not

1:00:31 ↗ supported by state dollars so there we

1:00:34 ↗ are lagging and we're not seeing funding

1:00:37 ↗ sources for that and not connecting the

1:00:39 ↗ dots between the RIC where the

1:00:41 ↗ residential growth is occurring and

1:00:43 ↗ where the jobs are being added meaning

1:00:44 ↗ we have missing transportation modes

1:00:46 ↗ missing capacity links and we don't have

1:00:49 ↗ a funding strategy for that need what

1:00:52 ↗ kind of data what what what kind of data

1:00:56 ↗ we need data on what has happened in the

1:00:59 ↗ last

1:01:00 ↗ five years so where did the house and

1:01:02 ↗ get at it since GMA came where did the

1:01:04 ↗ jobs get at it

1:01:06 ↗ can we see a geographic distribution of

1:01:08 ↗ where transportation investments have

1:01:10 ↗ been made on the same layer as where

1:01:12 ↗ jobs and housing have been created and

1:01:14 ↗ how did land on economics impact growth

1:01:18 ↗ patterns so understanding a bit more of

1:01:20 ↗ the economics for it

1:01:21 ↗ schools are having a hard time not only

1:01:23 ↗ finding land but fording land and that's

1:01:26 ↗ not going to get better and we're not

1:01:27 ↗ near where we thought we'd be in terms

1:01:29 ↗ of our size and the economics of why did

1:01:34 ↗ the housing end up so far away from the

1:01:36 ↗ jobs why was there no link between where

1:01:38 ↗ job creation was happening so that was

1:01:39 ↗ kind of a high-level bill if you can

1:01:41 ↗ think of anything else that came up I

1:01:43 ↗ thought I'd share and the other one was

1:01:45 ↗ I had come to you with three cascade

1:01:47 ↗ ball policy questions for their budget

1:01:49 ↗ cascade who have wanted to go to

1:01:51 ↗ biennial rates buy-in on biennial

1:01:54 ↗ connection charges and to start reserved

1:01:57 ↗ for emergency preparedness we had a

1:02:02 ↗ Issaquah had a bit of a concern that

1:02:04 ↗ biennial rates might give us a cashflow

1:02:07 ↗ hit in a year where we might turn part

1:02:09 ↗ of our system off and buy more water and

1:02:11 ↗ Walia 20 ner for smoothing it's moving

1:02:15 ↗ the word we seem to hear a lot of lately

1:02:18 ↗ nobody had an issue with biennial

1:02:20 ↗ connection rates we all thought that was

1:02:21 ↗ a great idea

1:02:22 ↗ and I misspoke when I talked about their

1:02:24 ↗ resiliency fund this was really not a

1:02:27 ↗ new fund setting aside some ending fund

1:02:30 ↗ balance for a new reserve it was

1:02:31 ↗ actually taking money from a reserve

1:02:33 ↗ they have called risk and putting it in

1:02:36 ↗ one they called resiliency while they

1:02:38 ↗ work on the policy language as to how

1:02:40 ↗ that will be spent and how to coordinate

1:02:41 ↗ with jurisdictions and then the only

1:02:43 ↗ other one correction I wanted to make I

1:02:44 ↗ think in a meeting that councilmember

1:02:46 ↗ hunt attended there had been mentioned

1:02:48 ↗ that there had been an audit finding and

1:02:51 ↗ actually what there had there was no

1:02:54 ↗ audit finding for cascade I don't even

1:02:56 ↗ know if they've ever had not at fighting

1:02:57 ↗ but they did have a recommendation for a

1:03:00 ↗ best management practice I just wanted

1:03:02 ↗ to clear that up and then the last thing

1:03:06 ↗ I had was some upcoming council meetings

1:03:08 ↗ unless somebody else has a good of the

1:03:10 ↗ order item they want to share October

1:03:12 ↗ 8th is a council work session and the

1:03:14 ↗ items include the arched parity update

1:03:17 ↗ conversation

1:03:23 ↗ Rescue budget overview and on October

1:03:25 ↗ 15th council work session at 5:00 p.m.

1:03:28 ↗ dinner will be provided the agenda items

1:03:30 ↗ include strategic plan goal statements

1:03:32 ↗ and objectives and October 15th regular

1:03:35 ↗ council meeting agenda items include

1:03:37 ↗ proposed 2019 budget mayor's

1:03:40 ↗ presentation public hearing on the

1:03:42 ↗ vacation of a portion of Northeast

1:03:44 ↗ Gilman Boulevard and amending school

1:03:46 ↗ impact fees anything else could you

1:03:50 ↗ repeat the time which ones starting at

1:03:52 ↗ five o'clock the October 15th council

1:03:54 ↗ work session will start at 5:00 and

1:03:56 ↗ dinner will be provided great there is

1:04:02 ↗ no executive session this evening and so

1:04:06 ↗ if there is no further business we're on
