9. GOOD OF THE ORDER

2:39 it shows anyone signed up to speak this
2:41 evening yes Gary Horvitz
3:09 good evening thank you all my name is
3:12 Gary Horvitz
3:14 I live at 198 one one tenth place
3:16 Northwest and shoreline Washington I'm
3:20 here because I'm the geotechnical
3:21 engineer of record on behalf of ORL us
3:25 and res mark here II I'm gonna get you
3:27 to pull the microphone just a little bit
3:29 closer to how's that perfect okay like I
3:33 said I'm the geotechnical engineer of
3:35 record on behalf of RA talus and res
3:38 mark and currently in charge of the
3:39 remedial landslide design at the talus 9
3:43 site I wanted to speak tonight about a
3:46 b7 687 which is our request that the
3:49 City Council approve installation of
3:51 permanent tiebacks
3:52 in the city right away the context of
3:55 the request is important because it's
3:58 time-sensitive work that will benefit
4:00 everyone involved in August or 8th Alice
4:04 admitted to the city it's detailed plans
4:06 for the fourth and final wall along
4:08 upper shangri-la way or a talus is ready
4:12 to begin construction as soon as the
4:13 city approves the plans these plans
4:16 proposed placing permanent tiebacks
4:18 under the city's right away to support
4:20 the wall on the slope these tiebacks
4:23 would be well below the city's utilities
4:26 or any other right-of-way needs of the
4:29 city the city approved similar tiebacks
4:32 in the same right away on September 16
4:35 2014 in connection with the pre
4:38 landslide designed for talus project
4:40 talus parcel 9 so there's a recent
4:43 precedent where the city's determined
4:45 that such tiebacks are appropriate and
4:47 authorized the plans we submitted this
4:50 past August were analyzed by city staff
4:53 and its engineering consultants only
4:54 recently the city has indicated that its
4:57 previous approval of a permanent
4:59 tie-back easement was an error on the
5:01 part of the city if the council denies
5:04 our request for tiebacks ori talus must
5:07 completely redesign wall for without
5:09 tiebacks
5:10 and from a practical point of view this
5:12 would be all but impossible for a
5:14 project of this size this will cause
5:16 months of additional delay and
5:18 stabilizing the slope
5:20 the city is not provided an engineering
5:22 justification for rejection of the
5:25 tie-back design if the city has one who
5:27 certainly would consider it and address
5:29 it in the agenda published for the
5:31 meeting city staff provided five reasons
5:34 why the council should deny approval but
5:37 those real reasons really amount to one
5:40 the city is concerned that the city may
5:41 damage the tiebacks in the future when
5:43 maintaining the right away but those
5:46 concerns are already addressed in the
5:48 design by keeping the tiebacks deep
5:49 below shangri-la another important point
5:52 is the benefit that this has to the city
5:55 construction of the tr4 wall would allow
5:58 the removal of substantial amount of
6:00 soil from in front of the wall currently
6:02 the soil acts as an increased
6:05 destabilizing load on the slant slide
6:07 material below it by allowing excavation
6:10 of this soil mass which is only possible
6:13 if tiebacks are allowed in the
6:14 right-of-way the overall stability of
6:17 the talus nine site as well as
6:19 shangri-la way and property above
6:21 shangri-la way will be improved
6:23 therefore there is a very real and
6:25 tangible benefit to the city of Issaquah
6:28 and allowing the granting of the
6:30 easement to go forward we respectfully
6:32 ask the council approve the ordinance
6:34 which would authorize the tie-back
6:36 design so that the final stabilization
6:39 wall can be promptly installed thank you
6:41 thank you Gary is there anyone else
6:44 signed up this evening to shop no is
6:47 there anyone else in the audience would
6:49 like to address Council this evening
6:51 that can call for anyone who would like
6:53 to address council during audience
6:55 comments in a last call seeing no one
6:59 will close audience comments and move to
7:02 committee and regional reports
7:03 councilmember hunt thank you madam mayor
7:07 I will be chairing the council
7:09 infrastructure meeting which will meet
7:11 on November 15th 2018 here at council

8:28 involves defining the goals and then
8:31 middle and long term outcomes and
8:33 targets and how how the districts will
8:38 meet those goals in the in this
8:41 discussion the committee also discussed
8:42 the importance of engaging with young
8:44 people and engaging with a more diverse

11:29 this evening thank you council member
11:31 Ramos Thank You mayor um
11:33 [Music]
11:34 I want to thank councilmember hunt for
11:36 chairing the Infrastructure Committee
11:37 this month because I can't make it and
11:40 I'll report on last month's
11:42 Infrastructure Committee which was on
11:44 the 18th of October and there we had two
11:46 items
11:47 one a b 76 49 is on the consent calendar
11:51 to refer it back to committee for a
11:53 little additional work we looked at it
11:55 and each of them more staff work and
11:57 some things cleared up so they'll be
11:59 back in committee this month and then
12:02 non consent is also at 76 47 and consent
12:06 today on water charges and that is here
12:11 that last Friday I was in Washington
12:15 State Public Works board and also I'll
12:18 be there on the 7th of December working
12:21 there a lot with dealing with more money
12:24 coming in finally to get loans out to
12:27 cities and and water districts and so
12:29 forth to get new infrastructure projects
12:30 done funded in a more cost efficient way
12:35 and we're working really hard with the
12:37 legislature to fully fund that program
12:40 for next year so that will be even
12:41 better and so we're working on really
12:43 getting some some systems in place to do
12:45 that their books are looking at that the
12:49 Public Works board is really effective
12:51 in getting money out and loaned out and
12:54 returned back to our other projects and
12:55 so other folks on the legislature are
12:57 looking to use that in expanded way so
13:00 we're dealing with that as well it's
13:02 very funny
13:03 East Side translation partnership is
13:06 coming up this Friday I will be there I
13:08 sent you all a note with a copy of their
13:12 proposed legislative agenda for 2019
13:15 asking for comments they don't want to
13:17 be voting on it in their December
13:19 meeting so they'll be discussing it
13:21 there more so than getting comments back
13:23 that folks brought so if you have any
13:24 comments for that please try to get them
13:26 to me by Friday they'll be great we can
13:29 get them included it's it's very similar
13:31 to last year so it's now dramatic change
13:33 but one of the things that of note is
13:35 they are also pushing as many other
13:37 organizations they're encouraging the
13:40 legislature to fully fund the Public
13:42 Works board that I just talked about the
13:44 account as we are as well to fund that
13:46 so that's a lot of a lot of good work
13:49 support of that process on the
13:52 fourteenth I'll be attending the
13:53 emergency management advisory committee
13:54 and
13:56 that agendas not set yet and that
13:58 concludes my report Thank You
13:59 councilmember winter Stein thank you
14:01 the growth management policy board Matt
14:04 last Thursday November 1st at PSR C
14:07 headquarters in Seattle
14:08 the main item on the agenda was the
14:11 discussion and deliberation on the very
14:15 the options to be evaluated as in the
14:19 draft supplemental environmental impact
14:21 statement that goes along with the
14:24 vision update the vision 2050 update the
14:27 three different alternatives that were
14:29 approved by the GMP beware one which
14:32 would stay the course which is the
14:33 typical no action alternative he is
14:36 always requires a no action alternative
14:38 and that would that option we'll go look
14:41 at how continuing the growth shares
14:43 among counties and cities as they are
14:45 allocated in the current vision the
14:48 section alternative is something called
14:50 transit focused growth which would
14:53 direct more than is currently allocated
14:56 to areas with existing or planned
14:58 high-capacity transit so they call that
15:01 the transit focus growth and then
15:04 there's a the third alternative they'll
15:05 be stuttering studying is something
15:07 called the reset urban growth which
15:09 would actually see less growth in these
15:13 high-capacity transit centers and more
15:16 spread out around the counties and
15:18 cities than it is today so those are the
15:20 three alternatives that will be
15:22 evaluated as part of the draft EIS and
15:26 that is something that will be complete
15:28 and available to inform the final vision
15:31 completion in 2019 that concludes my
15:34 report
15:35 Thank You deputy council president patís
15:38 pinkey madam mayor on October 18th the
15:42 Eastside Human Services forum board met
15:45 we spent the majority of the time in our
15:48 meeting discussing the work plan that
15:50 the draft work plan and getting board
15:53 feedback on those goals also first
15:57 chance to review the proposed 2019
16:00 legislative agenda so more about that as
16:04 that comes together and then the
16:05 proposed 2019 budget the next meeting is
16:09 November 15th in Bellevue thank you that
16:12 concludes my report
16:13 thank you council president Mertz thank
16:16 you madam mayor
16:17 so Sound city's association public
16:20 issues committee has a meeting coming up
16:22 on November 14th a couple of things of
16:24 potential interest to this council one
16:26 is I believe final action on the 2019
16:31 SCA legislative agenda I have sent you
16:33 all two things related to this one is
16:36 the minutes from the last SCA meeting I
16:39 would I think I characterized that
16:40 conversation is robust last time and
16:43 robust it was so you can see that in the
16:45 minutes the second thing I sent was the
16:48 updates from the board from the 10/22
16:51 meeting that shows the revised
16:53 legislative update I would say that the
16:56 net outcome of the pic meeting was
16:58 relatively minor sort of I don't want to
17:02 say typo level but I think if you come
17:04 in herre the legislative agenda that was
17:07 in the October pic packet with what's in
17:10 the front comes out of 1022 meeting
17:12 there are not substantial changes but if
17:14 you have any further thoughts on that
17:16 packet on that proposed legislative
17:18 agenda please let me know the second
17:20 piece is the other robust conversation
17:22 we had that evening which was around the
17:24 regional affordable housing task force
17:25 and the minutes will show what I mean by
17:29 a robust conversation there was lots of
17:32 feedback so that one doesn't have any
17:34 final action and it's still listed for
17:39 this upcoming meeting as a potential
17:40 future action item which means we are
17:43 not yet on the first of the two formal
17:48 formal reviews that would be necessary
17:50 prior to a regular adoption by the SCA
17:53 pic I see no reason why we would have an
17:55 emergency one meeting adoption so the
17:57 punchline is that this one is not coming
17:59 up fast but it is for anyone interested
18:00 in this topic a good glimpse to how a
18:03 number of cities are looking at this
18:04 proposed plan oh and there is a pre pic
18:08 workshop that I don't know if this
18:10 interest people but I will just say the
18:12 title is don't feed the trolls
18:14 addressing toxic social media in York
18:17 community so that would be the prefect
18:20 meeting that concludes my report thank
18:23 you unto the mayor's report there will
18:26 be an executive session this evening to
18:29 discuss pending and potential litigation
18:31 for RC W 42.3 0.11 o / n1 / ni and this
18:37 item is expected to last 30 minutes no
18:40 action is anticipated to follow in open
18:43 session for the rest of the mayor's
18:45 report I'm going to provide you with a
18:46 brief update on a couple of projects and
18:49 a program new part way round about this
18:52 under construction roundabout outside of

19:11 center roundabout next couple of weeks

19:16 the crossing on the Anthology side will
19:17 be paved which is a portion of the
19:20 mountains to Sound Greenway Trail System
19:21 and over the next couple of months the
19:24 crossings of Newport Way will not be
19:26 open until we have permanent pavement
19:29 marking and rapid flashing crosswalk

26:34 also applied to those being made under a
26:36 public hearing and tisha can we get
26:38 those back up on yeah ever have things
26:41 I'm going to open the public hearing at
26:45 7:27 and ask if anybody has signed up to
26:49 speak this evening Daphne Gann on up
26:53 Daphne
27:01 hello I'm Daphne Gann - to 5:39
27:04 southeast 45th Street
27:06 I live in Providence Point I regularly
27:11 watched the council's meetings and the
27:14 budget meetings on channel 21 and it has
27:18 given me a very good understanding of
27:20 the challenges facing the council I
27:25 understand that there has been comments
27:27 about a traffic light on 43rd Street
27:32 which is southeast 43rd Street which of
27:35 course is very important to the people
27:37 in Providence point there have been
27:40 discussions that maybe this was a legacy
27:42 issue for the city and though there was
27:47 never a written agreement there were
27:50 many people who lived in Providence
27:52 point 15 years ago and they were left
27:56 with the strong impression that if they
27:58 voted to join Issaquah the city would do
28:02 something about a traffic light on South
28:04 East 45th Street now I'd like to tell
28:08 you a little bit about Providence point
28:10 especially for those folks who don't get
28:13 up there often Providence Point has
28:16 about a thousand over 55 units they have
28:25 1,500 residents the average age is about
28:30 78 this is an active friendly community
28:36 they are drivers and they vote they have
28:42 one of the highest voting records in the
28:44 city now I think you'd probably like a
28:48 little to know a little bit about what
28:51 the people in Providence Point do to
28:54 support the city of Issaquah the city of
28:57 Issaquah has volunteers at Eastside
29:02 beside children's corner pub Davie
29:04 corner they have volunteers at the food
29:08 bank they have volunteers that several
29:10 the museum's
29:11 the fish hatchery the
29:14 sound - Mountain Greenway the Belwood
29:20 Foundation which is a senior citizens
29:24 assisted living home and in addition to
29:27 that they also spent a lot of money in
29:33 Issaquah I oftentimes see many people
29:36 from Providence point when I go shopping
29:40 at Fred Meyer or Costco now I think you
29:43 would also like to know a little bit
29:45 about what the people in Providence
29:47 Point worry about okay first of all they
29:53 worry they're going to be hit by an SUV
29:55 when they go shopping because they have
29:56 to make a left turn onto southeast 43rd
29:59 Street they also worry about is their
30:04 vision going to fail is there going to
30:06 be a cure for cancer are the Seahawks
30:10 ever going to win another Super Bowl and
30:14 surprisingly they worry about whether or
30:17 not their savings are going to outlast
30:19 them their lifespan now I know that that
30:27 the city of Issaquah has a lot of
30:31 demands on them I listening to you talk
30:35 about all the problems that that you're
30:38 handling quite nicely but I do think
30:41 that this and I realized this is not
30:44 probably the place you're going to
30:46 discuss it tonight but I do think that
30:49 that it would be wonderful for the
30:52 people in Providence point if we knew
30:55 that you were going to fund that traffic
30:57 light I also want you to know that it's
31:00 not only the people in Providence point
31:02 just two Thursday's ago there was an
31:06 accident at that intersection the people
31:09 involved in the accident
31:11 one was a workman with a pickup and the
31:14 other were two youngish people in a car
31:16 so it's not only the people in
31:18 Providence Point who are going to
31:20 benefit from the improvements to a very
31:25 scary intersection
31:27 thank you Thank You Daphne Bruce editor
31:45 well it's hard to follow up that dynamic
31:49 presentation by Daphne I'm president of
31:52 Providence Point Bruce Eder at 42:51
31:55 Providence Point Drive and this has been
31:59 something I've been in Providence Point
32:01 ten years this is something that's been
32:04 on everybody's mind there for a long
32:06 time as Daphne said we're a 55 plus
32:11 community 1500 plus residents and a
32:15 thousand eight units the campus consists
32:18 of seven villages
32:19 six of the seven villages are located on
32:22 north side of 43rd where the Town Hall
32:25 and Clubhouse and the north community
32:27 building are located a one village the
32:31 second largest village over 200 units is
32:35 located on the south side of 43rd
32:38 currently there's no safe way to cross
32:42 on foot for sure and it's difficult even
32:46 in a car even crossing in cars hazardous
32:51 given the speed of cars driving up the
32:54 hill there's no way to turn left onto
32:58 43rd from the main exit turning left
33:01 from Forest Village side is also
33:04 difficult compounded by the high speed
33:07 of the traffic on 43rd that's awfully
33:10 try off and traveling 50 miles an hour
33:12 coming up there I just want to ask the
33:18 the council to consider funding this
33:22 it's been a long time in coming
33:28 Forest Village on the other side was was
33:31 built more recently and we've had
33:35 tremendous increases in traffic coming
33:38 up and down that hill and I think this
33:41 is a very worthwhile project certainly
33:44 for the community and I thank you thank
33:48 you Bruce no anyone else like to address
33:55 the council during this public hearing
33:58 a second call to see if anybody would
34:01 like to address the council and a third
34:03 and final call I'm closing the public
34:09 hearing at 7:34 and there is no proposed
34:16 council action on the budget at
34:18 tonight's meeting budget deliberations
34:20 will continue at work sessions scheduled
34:22 for November 7th November 13th in
34:26 tentatively of needed on November 17th a
34:29 public hearing on the final 2019 budget
34:32 will occur at the December 3rd regular
34:34 council meeting next item on the agenda
34:39 is under regular business a b7 six one
34:44 one proposed 2019 budget levy and
34:48 revenue sources the required public
34:51 hearing on this item occurred on October
34:53 22nd special council meeting tonight
34:56 council action is requested to adopt the
34:58 proposed ordinance I'd like to invite
35:00 Revenue Manager Ruth riddle to make a
35:03 presentation good evening how is
35:06 everyone tonight we are going to be
35:10 proposing the adoption at this second
35:14 hearing of the 2019
35:17 proposed property tax levy but before we
35:22 do we are going to answer a couple of
35:26 questions that came from the first
35:29 public hearing and so the first question
35:33 was how is the property tax increase
35:37 calculated so we're doing a little math
35:41 and we'll just walk you through how the
35:44 increase is calculated so we start with
35:48 the prior year actual and we multiply it
35:53 by 1% so a fairly simple calculation and
35:58 then the county provides us the
36:01 estimated revenue new construction which
36:04 we add to that amount so the total in
36:08 the
36:09 the proposed property tax level is the
36:12 amount you see there the 9.1 million so
36:18 any further questions on the answer to
36:22 question number one yes
36:25 I'll ask how's that that 195 or almost
36:29 196 how does that compare to recent
36:33 years is that a is that a healthy number
36:35 this year is that lower than the last
36:37 few I don't know how it compares but
36:41 it's not unusually large it's fairly
36:46 typical it's an estimation and that
36:49 could typically go up City Administrator
36:52 moon if I recall if I recall off the top
36:57 of my head I think the average over the
36:59 last couple of years has been a little
37:01 bit closer to 230 so it's a little bit
37:05 lower than average a little bit lower
37:07 than we expected we actually
37:09 double-check that number a couple times
37:10 with King County that's the number
37:12 that's ringing a bell in my head but
37:14 it's still within the range that we have
37:16 seen it does vary a little bit more than
37:19 you would expect from your deer thank
37:21 you
37:22 additional questions okay so we'll move
37:27 on to question two so what is the
37:32 property tax levy rate for 2019 and that
37:37 is another calculation and so you start
37:41 off with the assessed property value and
37:46 the calculation is that you take the
37:50 assessed property value which is 11
37:54 billion and you divide that by a
37:57 thousand and then you use that result to
38:01 divide into the allowable levy per King
38:05 County that comes on their worksheet and
38:08 so the formula is as you see there and
38:12 the result is 0.8 Oh 7 8 5 and that is
38:19 the levy at the current time the
38:22 it's a moving number any other questions
38:27 on that I can still understand
38:30 just to clarify thank you for that Ruth
38:32 I think I asked the question I
38:33 appreciate it and I think you called it
38:38 the allowable level levy did thatting is
38:41 that at 101 percent then of last year so
38:44 that includes the 1% no that is beyond
38:47 what we're actually proposing that we
38:50 levy this year so the proposed levy is
38:55 the 9.1 million but the allowable levy
38:59 on the King County worksheet is the nine
39:01 point two six six okay so the point
39:06 eight zero seven eight five is it's the
39:11 allowable not with the extra 1% it is
39:16 not based on what we're proposing that
39:18 we levy which is just to increase by the
39:21 1% so we could increase further that's
39:26 the allowable levy Ruth is that because
39:40 of the banked capacity that we have not
39:42 elected to utilize we have Bank capacity
39:45 yes and I could go through those numbers
39:48 if you're interested but the allowable
39:51 levy is the levy that we could choose to
39:55 adopt but we are only raising we're only
39:58 proposing that we raise 1% we think it
40:02 might be helpful to explain banked levy
40:05 okay we had five years I think beginning
40:11 in 2008 we went for five successive
40:15 years where we did not increase our
40:19 property tax levy by the legal 1% and so
40:24 that lack of increase is banked but over
40:31 time that banked amount goes up and down
40:35 actuates and so at the current time I
40:39 think we have a bank capacity of about a
40:42 hundred and seventy eight thousand
40:44 beyond our one percent increase that we
40:47 could levy winter signs let me ask it
40:56 another way because I might be confusing
40:58 myself so thank you for your patience
41:01 Ruth point eight zero seven eight five
41:03 is that the number used in the proposed
41:07 budget to calculate the property tax
41:09 collections the actual calculation
41:14 against the proposed levy would be less
41:16 than that because this is using the
41:22 allowable levy okay so then the rate
41:25 that is proposed is is less than that I
41:31 don't have it in front of me but it
41:32 would be 0.7 something straighter moon I
41:38 believe it's in your packet I think it's
41:40 point seven nine three three eight the
41:48 route just to clarify at some future
41:50 date if the council chose to in a given
41:54 year use the 1% they also could opt in
41:58 that time to use their Bank capacity
42:00 it's something that they can draw on at
42:02 a later date correct it's not been
42:04 proposed that we use any of that this
42:06 year we're just doing this simple one
42:08 percent correct okay and and so that
42:13 proposed rate thank you it's an it is in
42:16 appendix D point seven nine three it can
42:19 round doesn't is include the one percent
42:22 increase correct any other questions
42:27 that's president Mart's so I'm sorry is
42:31 it point seven nine something or is a
42:33 point aides or something that we're
42:35 actually talking about tonight it's
42:37 point eight zero seven the calculation
42:39 based on the allowable but it's point
42:42 seven nine the amount that Emily red and
42:44 Exhibit D in our purple
42:47 Neri budget in our proposed preliminary
42:50 levy property tax let the answer to the
42:53 question is what is the property tax
42:55 levity rate rate for 2019 in the
42:59 preliminary budget is the number that
43:01 Administrator moon stated and the
43:05 maximum allowable is what they're seeing
43:07 here correctly that's clarity okay so if
43:13 we pass the the bill that's in front of
43:17 us this evening
43:17 what will our tax rate be point seven
43:21 nine I believe Emily read it seven nine
43:25 three three eight three three eight how
43:27 does that compare to other
43:29 municipalities on the east side well I
43:32 happen to have brought that comparison
43:47 so 2018 King County levies so for
43:53 example the levy rate in Seattle is nine
43:59 point five six the levy rate in Auburn
44:06 is fourteen point one the levy rate in
44:12 Bellevue is nine point one one nine
44:18 there are many others so this is quite a
44:23 bit lower so that nine point something

46:11 awesome
46:12 that is good news and what I was hoping
46:15 to hear from you
46:16 thank you your question on that if the
46:19 council were to opt in the future to use
46:20 the Bank capacity would we be in the
46:23 same range as those other cities well it
46:26 would it would increase it as we just
46:29 saw with this example if we use our
46:32 allowable it's higher than just raising
46:35 it the 1% just 2.8 Oh 75 would you still
46:38 significantly lower thank you any other
46:43 questions
46:46 Thank You Ruth okay so I believe we're
46:50 requesting council action tonight loving
46:53 the general taxes for the city of
46:55 Issaquah for the fiscal year commencing
46:58 January 1 all property both real and
47:02 personal which is subject to taxation
47:05 for the purpose of paying sufficient
47:07 revenue to carry on the services of the
47:09 city for the ensuing year as required by
47:13 law
47:13 Thank You Ruth is there a motion it's
47:17 madam mayor I'll move to adopt ordinance
47:20 number 2 8 for 8 levying the general
47:23 taxes for the city of Issaquah for the
47:25 fiscal year commencing January 1st 2019
47:28 on all property both real and personal
47:30 in said city which is subject to
47:32 taxation for the purpose of paying
47:34 sufficient revenue to carry on the
47:36 services of said city for the ensuing
47:38 year as we required by law second it
47:41 moved and seconded is there any council
47:43 discussion new council discussion
47:49 council member we're interesting thank
47:52 you I just wanted to point out one of
47:53 the things I've been trying to do is
47:55 track the levy rate over time there's a
47:59 complex
48:00 question if you're not aware it's state
48:04 law that restricts that we can only
48:06 collect up to one percent more than our
48:10 then we did the year before as the
48:12 calculation was shown there but because
48:14 of our increasing values of our
48:16 properties since just my own property
48:18 since 2013 has increase in value
48:21 sixty-five percent but my net
48:24 out-of-pocket taxes has only increased
48:28 16% over that time for this percentage
48:31 there's there's a lot of other property
48:33 taxes on our bills their school their
48:35 state there's many other there's the
48:37 water there the Library District but for
48:40 the city portion that we just discussed
48:42 in this time when when my house is
48:45 increased in value assessed value of
48:47 sixty five percent the city's collecting
48:50 only sixteen percent more than it was in
48:53 2013 just another way to kind of look at
48:57 that I think largely because we're very
48:59 dependent upon sales tax as a primary
49:02 source of revenue for our general fund
49:04 which is about thirty percent of our
49:06 revenues and the this property tax is
49:10 about eighteen percent revenue of our
49:12 total general fund revenues as well and
49:15 that's one of the reasons we have a
49:16 lower rate and I think it's a good sign
49:17 that we've continued to be very good
49:20 stewards and and managing both their
49:24 demand for funds and and our revenue
49:26 sources over this period of time thank
49:28 you thank you
49:29 any other comments okay
49:33 if there's no further discussion all
49:36 those in favor of adopting ordinance
49:37 number two eight four eight levying the
49:40 general taxes for the city of Ithaca for
49:42 the fiscal year commencing January 1st
49:44 2019
49:45 on all property both real and personal
49:47 in said city which is subject to
49:50 taxation for the purpose of paying
49:52 sufficient revenue to carry on the
49:54 services of said city for the ensuing
49:56 year as required by law
49:57 signify by saying aye aye as opposed it
50:01 carries unanimously the next item on our
50:05 agenda this evening is good of the order
50:07 do council members have anything
50:09 hundred of the order councilmember Han
50:12 thank you madam mayor I wanted to update
50:15 the council a bit with a bit more
50:17 information about the ongoing
50:19 development regarding the yr8 salmon
50:21 recovery council which i mentioned in
50:22 the regional report so on October 31st
50:26 the partner jurisdictions including
50:28 Issaquah were notified that Snohomish
50:31 County anticipates not being able to pay
50:33 its 2019 cost share to the interlocal
50:36 agreement which funds the yr8 salmon
50:39 recovery council work and Jason
50:42 Mulvihill Cohen sees the salmon recovery
50:45 manager wrote a also provided
50:48 information I wrote a letter to let the
50:52 membership know that the partnership
50:54 remains strong and additionally they are
50:56 evaluating possible solutions that would
50:59 maintain the county as a partner
51:05 although this know how much county
51:07 council is still considering the
51:09 county's draft 2019 budget and could
51:10 restore funding they they took the step
51:13 of sending this notification letter and
51:15 we will be discussing the possible
51:17 implications and what this means for the
51:18 budget for the salmon recovery council
51:20 at the November 15th meeting so I wanted
51:23 to let the council know about this
51:24 development I will be providing more
51:26 information as as after that discussion
51:30 and if there are further developments
51:32 but if there are any questions for me or
51:34 feedback for that November 15th
51:36 discussion please let me know that's it
51:39 thanks Thank You councilmember hunt and
51:41 thank you for the update you gave me

51:44 I had question two about as well that's
51:46 a member right so it's November which
51:49 brings us Movember and no-shave November
51:52 both of these campaigns are designed to
51:55 raise awareness of and funds for men
51:58 health issues including prostate cancer
52:00 testicular cancer and mental health that
52:03 stick Euler cancer has doubled in the
52:04 last 50 years prostate cancer rates will
52:07 do the same in the next 15 years and
52:09 500,000 men will take their own lives
52:11 this year there's widespread stigma and
52:14 silence surrounding these and three
52:15 health issues but thanks to Movember and
52:18 no-show
52:19 November the state of crisis men's
52:21 health is currently finding itself a
52:23 little written to finding itself being
52:25 reverse so if you see your friends or
52:27 family or coworkers looking a little
52:28 scruffy like President marks that's

52:57 how you could do it part of our
52:59 neighborhood engagement program several

53:02 that we provided information to council
53:04 to help you engage and help you
