6:52 ↗ percent increase is what they see in

6:54 ↗ revenue when we run a wine walk so

8:58 ↗ issue with the two-way traffic and it is

10:26 ↗ coming Andy reducing yourself this is

10:29 ↗ there anyone else signed up yes Joe

10:31 ↗ Verner on up Joe

10:43 ↗ good evening my name is Jill Verner

10:46 ↗ address is 1 2 3 0 oakwood place

10:50 ↗ northwest in Issaquah and that is the

10:53 ↗ Summer Hill subdivision and the begins

10:56 ↗ at the corner of Oak Crest Drive and

11:00 ↗ Newport Way Northwest

11:02 ↗ I sent the council and the mayor an

11:05 ↗ email yesterday I apologize I forgot to

11:09 ↗ attach some photos I have hard copy

11:13 ↗ today that I'll turn in to the clerk

11:15 ↗ when I'm done I'm speaking tonight as an

11:20 ↗ individual homeowner in the Summer Hill

11:22 ↗ subdivision and also on behalf of the

11:25 ↗ HOA board a a creek or antiaircraft

11:31 ↗ Creek borders Summer Hill subdivision

11:38 ↗ about 1/3 to 50% of the homes back on to

11:42 ↗ the Greenbelt on the west banks of a a

11:46 ↗ creek so we have some experience with a

11:49 ↗ a Creek the gist of my letter had two

11:54 ↗ parts one is there's a heavy runoff in a

11:58 ↗ a creek in the rainy season always has

12:01 ↗ been there's been flooding in the yards

12:04 ↗ of backyards of residents on Oak Creek

12:09 ↗ Oak Crest place and there's been

12:13 ↗ flooding across Newports way so we're

12:15 ↗ glad to have the 2017 culvert to

12:20 ↗ eliminate the flooding perhaps a way not

12:25 ↗ the only way but a way to reduce the

12:28 ↗ velocity of the water flow in the winter

12:31 ↗ there's to build some catch basins

12:34 ↗ upstream to help reduce that water

12:37 ↗ velocity I'm not an engineer so I don't

12:41 ↗ know but that thought has been proposed

12:43 ↗ on numerous occasions and not been acted

12:47 ↗ on by the city the second item is when

12:51 ↗ the culvert was constructed in 2017

12:54 ↗ the city put trees with root balls and

12:59 ↗ the lower portion of the creek bed on

13:03 ↗ the southside of Newport with the root

13:07 ↗ balls sticking up in the air above the

13:09 ↗ creek bed and it looks the aesthetics

13:14 ↗ are not pleasing and we have to live

13:16 ↗ with that the city's planted little

13:19 ↗ trees around there with the expectation

13:21 ↗ that those little trees will become big

13:23 ↗ trees and block the view probably won't

13:27 ↗ be in my lifetime so I asked the city

13:30 ↗ take a look at those trees again and

13:33 ↗ maybe remove the root balls or maybe

13:36 ↗ take the trees with the root balls and

13:38 ↗ move them upstream back into the woods

13:40 ↗ so we don't have to look at them thanks

13:43 ↗ very much thank you Joe anyone else

13:46 ↗ signed up to show no and Mary's coming

13:50 ↗ up to the microphone

13:58 ↗ my name is Mary Lynch and I recited to

14:00 ↗ 6:9 own Northwest Oak Crest Drive

14:03 ↗ Issaquah I'm back in just about a month

14:07 ↗ from my other public comments when I

14:09 ↗ talked about transparency and lack of

14:11 ↗ notice once again we got on Friday and

14:15 ↗ noticed that there is a major project to

14:18 ↗ be going on in our neighborhood that we

14:20 ↗ didn't find out that was asking you got

14:22 ↗ you all to vote on tonight without any

14:24 ↗ first touches from you or from us the

14:26 ↗ community many of us spent time over the

14:29 ↗ years trying to get the AVH and Creek

14:32 ↗ project worked on to get the stream

14:35 ↗ slowed down we attended meetings when

14:37 ↗ this project was announced again

14:40 ↗ belatedly to us we walked the perimeter

14:42 ↗ when it was finished we walked and we

14:44 ↗ still questioned the fact that was this

14:46 ↗ going to be able to handle the the

14:49 ↗ stream and the water coming down in 2018

14:53 ↗ we didn't have a really high flow year

14:56 ↗ for that stream yet we find out now on

14:58 ↗ Friday it didn't work we're a little bit

15:01 ↗ concerned that we never got a report

15:03 ↗ it's been taken this project has been

15:05 ↗ taken off the active project list we can

15:08 ↗ find no reports that says that it did

15:10 ↗ not work and apparently it came from not

15:13 ↗ the city but from an outside party

15:15 ↗ luckily though what I think it's a DNR

15:17 ↗ or the fishing game that's watching this

15:19 ↗ I would ask that we see a copy of that

15:22 ↗ and be made public I would ask that

15:24 ↗ maybe before you vote on this and the

15:26 ↗ consent agenda tonight that it that does

15:28 ↗ be sent to the sub committee or sub

15:33 ↗ council group so it can be reviewed and

15:36 ↗ shared and would ask that what is our

15:38 ↗ assurance that this is going to work

15:40 ↗ this time around without slowing down

15:42 ↗ the streams

15:43 ↗ I'm not going to burden you with all the

15:45 ↗ history you can go back and see my

15:46 ↗ public comments in 2017 that told you

15:49 ↗ the history and what Joe alluded to but

15:52 ↗ we don't seem to be heard and I am an

15:55 ↗ engineer and we have plans that showed

15:58 ↗ originally when that stream was planned

15:59 ↗ over 30 years ago that we're supposed to

16:01 ↗ be upstream catch basins and rocks

16:04 ↗ upstream to maintain the stream bed so

16:07 ↗ we have no assurance that if this

16:09 ↗ hundred and some odd thousand additional

16:11 ↗ dollars

16:12 ↗ spent that we're not going to have to

16:14 ↗ come back and rework it or we're not

16:16 ↗ going to have to unplug it and I would

16:18 ↗ like to have some assurance that this is

16:20 ↗ actually going to work this time

16:21 ↗ because one of the reasons this project

16:23 ↗ is costing so much is it wasn't done

16:25 ↗ right the first time in 2017 and now you

16:28 ↗ come out for a late bid because I

16:31 ↗ couldn't even looking back through the

16:32 ↗ bid process and public disclosure I

16:34 ↗ couldn't even find this on the bid list

16:35 ↗ and they do follow all that pretty

16:37 ↗ closely so I don't know how it was put

16:38 ↗ out for bid or whether it was put out

16:40 ↗ separately so I would like to see this

16:44 ↗ and the other thing that as far as

16:46 ↗ accountability this has not gone through

16:48 ↗ the rivers and streams board and there

16:51 ↗ is a lot of resource there since we've

16:53 ↗ lost Peter Rosa and I don't know we

16:55 ↗ placed anybody on city staff that has

16:57 ↗ the knowledge that Peter did and that's

17:00 ↗ one of the things the river stream board

17:01 ↗ can do is give you that additional

17:05 ↗ support and I think things like this

17:07 ↗ need to go to the rivers and stream

17:08 ↗ board it needs to be more transparent

17:11 ↗ than it has and hopefully I don't come

17:13 ↗ back next month with another project

17:14 ↗ that was not transparent I do want to

17:17 ↗ just say as an aside with affordability

17:20 ↗ I really think is a good step the city's

17:22 ↗ taking I would also hope that we also

17:24 ↗ start looking at more homelessness and

17:27 ↗ other refuge spots that we can have in

17:29 ↗ town and support our homeless because a

17:31 ↗ lot of our people are becoming homeless

17:33 ↗ because the prices thank you thank you

17:35 ↗ Mary is there anyone else who would like

17:37 ↗ to speak this evening to council Tina

17:52 ↗ hello I'm Tina conforte and I live at

17:56 ↗ 12:20 a good place

17:58 ↗ Northwest ISA qua I'm here tonight to I

18:03 ↗ was taking walk and a few times and look

18:07 ↗ at the difference there it's being

18:09 ↗ transferred new part away you know

18:12 ↗ holiday development going on and down

18:15 ↗ over there so it's not the same Newport

18:18 ↗ way when I first moved in but my over

18:22 ↗ look at the construction of the

18:24 ↗ development and I feel the river

18:29 ↗ construction it is very close to the

18:32 ↗ road when you had in the sidewalk for

18:37 ↗ the pedestrian and you had in the by the

18:40 ↗ lane I mean I feel like the extraction

18:45 ↗ is so close already

18:46 ↗ without the sidewalk but the pedestrian

18:49 ↗ sidewalk and the by Guerlain what about

18:53 ↗ an accident they happen a Newport way I

18:56 ↗ feel very sorry for the people buying

18:59 ↗ the purchase to China house it would be

19:02 ↗ a very risky for people living over

19:06 ↗ there

19:06 ↗ and accident that car will run right

19:09 ↗ into so I don't know what you can do

19:14 ↗ it's probably nothing you could do

19:15 ↗ anymore because the construction has

19:17 ↗ already been development that's all been

19:19 ↗ taking place but I think we should

19:23 ↗ consider holidays before we start to do

19:27 ↗ development so I have another issue that

19:31 ↗ I like to bring up to your attention

19:34 ↗ I just find out that it's a shelter

19:42 ↗ place in the north band for the homeless

19:46 ↗ people which homeless the north band

19:51 ↗ consider is aqua it's a very small and

19:55 ↗ they have consideration for people they

19:59 ↗ cannot help themselves

20:01 ↗ did the other have the shelter this past

20:04 ↗ winter in an art the ban at the

20:07 ↗ Methodist Church in a North Bend so they

20:10 ↗ did start to accumulate the some of them

20:14 ↗ so I feel it is an application for the

20:19 ↗ need of the lesser fortunate is

20:22 ↗ emphasized in both the Bible and the

20:25 ↗ city government should we take in

20:28 ↗ consideration I think the local leader

20:32 ↗ sure adopt the responsive policy and

20:37 ↗ getting support from the business people

20:40 ↗ in our area they will be the first step

20:45 ↗ to help the homeless

20:47 ↗ it is it to look to in a word when we

20:50 ↗ establish compassion and caring as a

20:54 ↗ person of standard the questioner of a

20:57 ↗ government responsibility it will be

20:59 ↗ much easy to answer so I think I feel

21:04 ↗ with all of the destruction that's going

21:06 ↗ on and down over there

21:07 ↗ we have the homeless on a property the

21:10 ↗ bear God's my property and I feel I took

21:14 ↗ work myself out there and it's really

21:17 ↗ messy so who's going to clean up it's

21:21 ↗ the city of physical I is going to take

21:23 ↗ a place to clean out of the area are we

21:26 ↗ going to be more care for these people

21:28 ↗ and even the place where to live thank

21:30 ↗ you

21:31 ↗ Thank You Tina is there anyone else who

21:33 ↗ would like to address council this

21:34 ↗ evening mr. Kapler

21:46 ↗ good evening David Kapler 255 southeast

21:49 ↗ and Rose Street we got some short timers

21:52 ↗ here that live at Summer Hill the Creek

21:55 ↗ actually was moved in order to

21:57 ↗ facilitate the development of that

21:59 ↗ property and I think it I don't know

22:02 ↗ exactly what the configuration of it but

22:05 ↗ I imagine it wasn't a straight ditch

22:07 ↗ which it was was what it's become on the

22:11 ↗ edge of the development if you go to I

22:14 ↗ map or whatever to get the contours and

22:18 ↗ you look at that Creek Basin it's pretty

22:21 ↗ amazing how much of the upper part of

22:23 ↗ Cougar Mountain it's fairly flat is in

22:25 ↗ that Basin and then the huge ravine that

22:28 ↗ that Creek has cut through the side hill

22:31 ↗ it's a small Creek doesn't run a lot of

22:33 ↗ time in the summer but it's moved a

22:35 ↗ whole bunch of material and we've

22:37 ↗ strained it up at the bottom so it even

22:40 ↗ goes faster once a long time ago before

22:45 ↗ when AJ Culver was mayor I conned the

22:49 ↗ City Council one April Saturday to take

22:52 ↗ a tour of beef to see what ease Cougar

22:55 ↗ looked like we went up south of Dallas

22:58 ↗ came up above talus down were talus is

23:01 ↗ and it had been a rainy day we got down

23:04 ↗ close to that where the trailhead now

23:08 ↗ the County trailhead there close to a

23:11 ↗ creek and the creek was running across

23:14 ↗ the road and there were quite large logs

23:16 ↗ out on Newports way that convinced the

23:20 ↗ council that east cougar was going to

23:23 ↗ have to be dealt with water wise very

23:25 ↗ carefully which they did and I think we

23:28 ↗ got a lot of work that went into talus

23:30 ↗ to deal with that a lot of open space

23:32 ↗ and restoration has occurred in that

23:34 ↗ valley both on the squawk and cougars

23:36 ↗ side it's really been important but that

23:39 ↗ that was a very much of a learning

23:41 ↗ experience for the council the mayor and

23:44 ↗ the staff at that time

23:48 ↗ Reverend streams board would be a

23:50 ↗ helpful group I'm on a committee with

23:53 ↗ Lake Sammamish State Park and we have

23:56 ↗ Bill waves retired from his company or

23:58 ↗ sold his company

23:59 ↗ Watershed it is so valuable to have an

24:02 ↗ expert that knows about streams wetlands

24:04 ↗ and all the rest providing all that free

24:08 ↗ service 200 the State Park and the river

24:12 ↗ and stream sport could be doing the same

24:13 ↗ for here

24:14 ↗ one other thing July 17 2020 the

24:18 ↗ mountain to sound Greenway Trek is going

24:20 ↗ to be in Issaquah and they've tasked me

24:24 ↗ with making sure it's you guys do a

24:26 ↗ great job in entry of putting on a good

24:31 ↗ good performance for for the the

24:33 ↗ trekkers that will be starting over in

24:35 ↗ Ellensburg area and it's not so much as

24:39 ↗ a march in in in in line there's gonna

24:43 ↗ be stops and explorations more to the

24:45 ↗ north and the south of the the Greenway

24:48 ↗ up and do the middle fork and into the

24:51 ↗ Snoqualmie Valley but we're gonna do

24:53 ↗ something really good here in Issaquah

24:54 ↗ and they're already scheduled to stay at

24:57 ↗ confluence park and that's park

25:01 ↗ directors got that so July 17th 2020

25:04 ↗ thank you thank you Dave is there anyone

25:07 ↗ else would like to address council this

25:08 ↗ evening Steve come on up

25:21 ↗ you need me Madame mayor City Council

25:23 ↗ thanks for the opportunity to be here

25:25 ↗ so three brief thoughts I think today

25:27 ↗ one is there's a session of City Council

25:31 ↗ good of the order session and it seems

25:33 ↗ like there's a lot of good information

25:34 ↗ that comes out of that but folks only

25:36 ↗ get it if they watch the meetings it

25:38 ↗ would be good or I think useful it's one

25:39 ↗ of the few times I think the City

25:40 ↗ Council talks back the community

25:43 ↗ there'll be a good chance or good way to

25:44 ↗ gather that format and and communicate

25:47 ↗ or distribute it maybe through the email

25:48 ↗ system or some method I just think that

25:50 ↗ would be a good opportunity second item

25:53 ↗ give me just a moment here so the front

26:00 ↗ street Street streetscape plan I'm glad

26:03 ↗ to see the trees go up I noticed on the

26:06 ↗ billboard though I didn't like the

26:07 ↗ language of the goal maintain Old Town

26:09 ↗ as a vibrant commercial district and an

26:11 ↗ enhanced communities gatherings place in

26:13 ↗ the future and I think that's good but I

26:15 ↗ think a lot of people just missed the

26:17 ↗ trees that were taken away and the

26:20 ↗ language we use to talk about who we are

26:22 ↗ and what we value isn't being used or

26:24 ↗ incorporated in who we are we just

26:26 ↗ talked about in a business sense and I

26:28 ↗ think there's a better way of

26:29 ↗ incorporating that or encapsulating that

26:31 ↗ going forward as I just want to use that

26:33 ↗ as an example of how we're doing that

26:36 ↗ third item the is across strategic plan

26:41 ↗ made a couple of notes the first

26:44 ↗ mobility getting around town is easier

26:45 ↗ for people who live work and play here

26:47 ↗ I'd like to prioritize that we're

26:50 ↗ building mobility for the people to live

26:51 ↗ here that's the group that were

26:53 ↗ responsible for we're not prioritizing

26:54 ↗ other groups we I don't think we do that

26:56 ↗ as well as we should or need to second

27:01 ↗ growth and development it's long it's a

27:04 ↗ growth and development should pay for

27:05 ↗ itself but it seems like it doesn't

27:07 ↗ unlike a better accounting of how growth

27:09 ↗ is paying for itself and what we get in

27:11 ↗ and if we're not benefiting from that

27:13 ↗ I'll have to ask if we want to continue

27:16 ↗ to grow and develop what we have

27:20 ↗ environmental stewardship this colon has

27:23 ↗ eight words in it as far as its goal

27:24 ↗ it's the shortest goal distributing some

27:26 ↗ of the items that is why residents list

27:28 ↗ is their most valued treasure

27:33 ↗ so how do we talked about getting goals

27:35 ↗ and how do we measure the natural beauty

27:38 ↗ and made sure that's retained examples

27:41 ↗ we've long talked about the tree canopy

27:43 ↗ disappearing yet we still don't have

27:44 ↗ that measured once we haven't measured

27:46 ↗ had we decide how much we wanted we

27:48 ↗ retain another example is I've recently

27:53 ↗ heard tell us and his grounds have

27:56 ↗ recently pushed back on some of the

27:57 ↗ development they've gotten back how

27:59 ↗ overall do we push back on getting the

28:06 ↗ goals that we want in this regard when

28:09 ↗ we said we don't like it I don't think

28:10 ↗ there's a better better mechanism for

28:12 ↗ that last one city leadership and

28:15 ↗ services at lists leadership and

28:16 ↗ services and I think those are fine but

28:18 ↗ I think we need to call out the specific

28:20 ↗ things we want to have leadership and

28:21 ↗ services in and measured improved

28:25 ↗ communication community connection and

28:26 ↗ engagement government transparency in

28:29 ↗ short I don't think overall that this is

28:31 ↗ ready for a vote for approval I think it

28:33 ↗ needs some more working because this is

28:35 ↗ a foundational documents can build

28:38 ↗ everything that builds on it so it just

28:40 ↗ needs some more work overall in my

28:43 ↗ humble opinion thank you all thank you

28:48 ↗ Steve is there anyone else would like to

28:50 ↗ address council this evening Sakon call

28:55 ↗ last call for anyone who would like to

28:57 ↗ address council during audience comments

28:59 ↗ they seeing none we'll move to the next

29:02 ↗ portion of our meeting committee and

29:04 ↗ regional reports starting with

29:06 ↗ councilmember Walsh thank you madam

29:08 ↗ mayor no report at this time Thank You

29:11 ↗ councilmember hunt thank you madam mayor

29:13 ↗ Landon Shore was scheduled to have met

29:16 ↗ last week on may 2nd it was canceled and

29:20 ↗ the item that was going to be discussed

29:22 ↗ a b7 725 which has to do with the

29:26 ↗ ability for duplex and clustered housing

29:29 ↗ in the SF s zone we'll be taking a

29:32 ↗ different path and there will be more on

29:34 ↗ that later in it I believe an

29:36 ↗ informational item and then the next

29:39 ↗ land insurer will be June 6th

29:42 ↗ 6:30 here in Council Chambers I also

29:46 ↗ have two regional reports the first one

29:48 ↗ is Keene conservation district Advisory

29:50 ↗ Committee on April 17th I attended the

29:54 ↗ king conservation district advisory

29:55 ↗ meeting in the kcd offices in Renton and

29:58 ↗ we continued to discuss the proposed

30:01 ↗ rate increase for kcd kcd is funded by a

30:06 ↗ per parcel rates that is assessed every

30:08 ↗ year and they are currently proposing to

30:11 ↗ increase that from about $10 per parcel

30:14 ↗ to about $13 per parcel this rate

30:17 ↗ increase would cover existing work that

30:20 ↗ was previously covered by what they

30:23 ↗ refer to as unsustainable funding or

30:25 ↗ one-time funding such as money that was

30:27 ↗ awarded in a lawsuit and then it would

30:30 ↗ also find some new funding that is is in

30:35 ↗ high demands in our regions such as the

30:37 ↗ Firewise fire prevention program and

30:39 ↗ work that they do with private

30:41 ↗ landowners so the kcd advisory committee

30:45 ↗ is sort of in the homestretch as far as

30:47 ↗ making a recommendation to the Board of

30:49 ↗ Supervisors for kcd we will be

30:52 ↗ discussing a letter that has our

30:54 ↗ recommendations for the Board of

30:55 ↗ Supervisors at a call later this week on

30:59 ↗ May 8th and then from there that

31:01 ↗ recommendation will go to the Board of

31:03 ↗ Supervisors they will make a final

31:04 ↗ proposal which will go to the to the

31:08 ↗ King County Council then I have one

31:13 ↗ other regional port which is the cascade

31:15 ↗ water Alliance on April 24th I attended

31:17 ↗ the cascade water Alliance board meeting

31:19 ↗ as did mayor Polly and in that meeting

31:22 ↗ we voted to authorize a contract with

31:27 ↗ bonds council for refinancing of the

31:30 ↗ bonds and this is this is the 2009 B

31:35 ↗ water system revenues bond so we also

31:38 ↗ had a presentation discussing the

31:39 ↗ financial implications and financial

31:41 ↗ best practices around refinancing of

31:43 ↗ that bond and then we also adopted a

31:47 ↗ resolution authorizing that cascade

31:51 ↗ water Alliance through coordination of

31:53 ↗ members having to do with waste waters

31:56 ↗ services and the idea there is to have

31:59 ↗ more of a voice and a vote on regional

32:01 ↗ wastewater issues for the members of

32:03 ↗ cascade water lines and that cascade

32:06 ↗ water lines would do some of those

32:07 ↗ coordinating tasks amongst the members

32:09 ↗ and then lastly we had a robust

32:14 ↗ discussion about affordability and what

32:16 ↗ cities can do in terms of making rate

32:18 ↗ structures for water more affordable and

32:21 ↗ a number of different changes were

32:23 ↗ discussed but basically the way the our

32:27 ↗ CFCs are the the rate that water is

32:29 ↗ charged by is very sort of lumpy so

32:32 ↗ there's big big gaps and it a lot of the

32:37 ↗ ways that it could be more equitable

32:39 ↗ would be more charging based on the

32:42 ↗ consumption of actual water so it would

32:45 ↗ depend more on what water is actually

32:47 ↗ used so I think there will be more

32:48 ↗ discussions on that but we we had a

32:51 ↗ discussion about what cities can do and

32:53 ↗ the next meeting of the board will be

32:56 ↗ May 22nd and this concludes my report

32:59 ↗ Thank You councilmember Wray Thank You

33:02 ↗ mayor Poli the services and Safety

33:04 ↗ Committee is currently scheduled to meet

33:06 ↗ on May 14th at 6:30 here in Council

33:08 ↗ Chambers at this time there are no

33:10 ↗ agenda items and we are likely to cancel

33:12 ↗ this meeting I'm going to do a little

33:15 ↗ bit of an aside Fire and Rescue report

33:18 ↗ on April 27th I attended fire ground 101

33:22 ↗ hosted by Eastside Fire and Rescue

33:24 ↗ during a full day of of activities we

33:29 ↗ did a forest building entry we simulated

33:32 ↗ a building fire and rescue an automobile

33:34 ↗ extraction and Emergency Medical

33:36 ↗ Response these exercises really provided

33:39 ↗ a valuable experience to help us guide

33:42 ↗ decision-making on how we can best

33:45 ↗ provide fire and emergency response

33:47 ↗ services to our community that concludes

33:49 ↗ my report Oh

33:50 ↗ one caveat given an opportunity I would

33:54 ↗ really encourage all of my council

33:56 ↗ colleagues to participate in fire ground

33:58 ↗ 101 it is a incredibly enlightening

34:04 ↗ experience that concludes my report for

34:07 ↗ Thank You councilmember winter Stein

34:09 ↗ thank you madam mayor the first report

34:11 ↗ is about the council Infrastructure

34:13 ↗ Committee we did not meet in April and

34:15 ↗ our next scheduled meeting is May 16th

34:18 ↗ at this time there are no items for that

34:20 ↗ agenda so stay tuned

34:22 ↗ that meeting may also not be held my

34:26 ↗ next report is on the Puget Sound

34:27 ↗ Regional Council's growth management

34:29 ↗ policy board we met last Thursday May

34:31 ↗ 2nd at PSR C headquarters in Seattle

34:33 ↗ there were five items on the agenda and

34:36 ↗ we only got through the first three

34:38 ↗ which is a first it tells you something

34:40 ↗ about the criticality and magnitude of

34:42 ↗ the policy questions currently on the

34:45 ↗ table and in fact we may add a second

34:47 ↗ meeting in June to handle the work so

34:50 ↗ that we can get the draft vision out by

34:52 ↗ July the first two items that we

34:55 ↗ addressed on Thursday were run-throughs

34:56 ↗ and QA about the economic and regional

34:59 ↗ collaboration chapters of the vision

35:01 ↗ update and the third and most lively

35:03 ↗ item was a review of the feedback on the

35:06 ↗ draft supplemental EIS plus board

35:08 ↗ discussion about the three growth

35:10 ↗ alternatives one of which or a variation

35:13 ↗ thereof will become the recommended

35:14 ↗ regional growth strategy and vision the

35:17 ↗ staff gave a high-level summary of the

35:19 ↗ feedback but since the comment period

35:20 ↗ had only closed two days prior it will

35:22 ↗ be at the June GMP meeting where we'll

35:25 ↗ receive the details and a deeper

35:26 ↗ assessment by staff they did receive 148

35:30 ↗ letters were received and 83 of which

35:33 ↗ came from cities counties other councils

35:35 ↗ state agencies and other organizations

35:36 ↗ and the other 65 I presume were from

35:40 ↗ individuals they did say that support

35:42 ↗ for the transit folk its growth

35:44 ↗ alternative clearly received the most

35:46 ↗ support now the vast majority of the

35:48 ↗ discussion on Thursday about was about

35:50 ↗ possible regional growth strategy it

35:54 ↗ focused on the PSR C staffs proposal to

35:57 ↗ possibly amend the transit focus growth

36:00 ↗ alternative by adjusting up the planned

36:03 ↗ growth in urban unincorporated in rural

36:06 ↗ areas

36:07 ↗ now both King and Pierce counties asked

36:10 ↗ for such considerations but for slightly

36:12 ↗ different reasons there was some tepid

36:15 ↗ support and a lot of strong opposition

36:19 ↗ to the

36:21 ↗ the truth is is that some unincorporated

36:24 ↗ areas themselves are already or will

36:30 ↗ become urban like because of vested

36:33 ↗ development rights it will happen and

36:37 ↗ and so there was a lot of conversation

36:39 ↗ about that I personally I believe that

36:41 ↗ they should either annex into cities or

36:44 ↗ incorporate themselves and plan and

36:46 ↗ accommodate for growth and other similar

36:49 ↗ as other similarly sized jurisdictions

36:51 ↗ do within the for County Planning region

36:53 ↗ so that's an active conversation that

36:56 ↗ we're going to have quite a bit back and

36:57 ↗ forth on and the next in the month of

36:59 ↗ June there was also discussion about the

37:01 ↗ one measurable downsized to the transit

37:04 ↗ focus growth alternative which is the

37:05 ↗ displacement of lower priced homes and

37:08 ↗ small businesses in proximity to station

37:11 ↗ areas and honestly there there's some as

37:14 ↗ yet to be identified ideas have to come

37:15 ↗ forward if we're going to mitigate the

37:17 ↗ impact of this growth alternative on the

37:19 ↗ people and businesses already in

37:21 ↗ proximity to station areas that

37:23 ↗ concludes my report thank you

37:24 ↗ councilmember Goodman Thank You mayor

37:27 ↗ Poli Eastside Fire and Rescue board of

37:30 ↗ directors will meet this Thursday May

37:32 ↗ 9th at 4 p.m. and the location is

37:36 ↗ changed for this month it is station 70

37:39 ↗ Fire Station 73 in Issaquah Highlands

37:42 ↗ there are three items of new business on

37:45 ↗ the agenda one is agenda bill 20 1917

37:49 ↗ and it is about alternative fuel

37:51 ↗ requirements there also will be an

37:53 ↗ accreditation discussion and wsr be

37:57 ↗ briefing I believe that stands for

37:59 ↗ Washington state ratings board that

38:01 ↗ concludes my report

38:02 ↗ Thank You deputy council member batiste

38:05 ↗ thank you madam mayor the Puget Sound

38:08 ↗ Regional Council Economic Development

38:10 ↗ District Board met in Seattle on May 1st

38:14 ↗ during that meeting there was a really

38:17 ↗ interesting presentation on the tribal

38:21 ↗ economic development there was a

38:24 ↗ presentation from this Suquamish

38:26 ↗ chairman that shared history about the

38:29 ↗ Suquamish tribe and its economic

38:32 ↗ development practice

38:33 ↗ including the importance of fisheries in

38:35 ↗ this area

38:37 ↗ Melvin Sheldon a council member for the

38:39 ↗ to wallop tribes talked about that but

38:43 ↗ also talked about tribal employment

38:46 ↗ first through cottage industries such as

38:49 ↗ tobacco sales bingo and gaming and

38:51 ↗ finally the development of the city of

38:53 ↗ quill Sita village then amber Schulz

38:58 ↗ Oliver who is the executive director of

39:00 ↗ the affiliated tribes of North Northwest

39:03 ↗ Indians spoke about their group and how

39:07 ↗ they provide financial and technical

39:09 ↗ assistance to the communities in regard

39:13 ↗ to economic development for 57 tribes

39:16 ↗ throughout the Northwest and Alaska is a

39:19 ↗ really interesting presentation so if

39:21 ↗ you'd like to watch that there is a

39:23 ↗ video video on the website we also

39:27 ↗ talked about public sector broadband and

39:30 ↗ public utility districts that are

39:32 ↗ working to establish local broadband

39:35 ↗ networks in Washington state really a

39:39 ↗ very interesting conversation

39:42 ↗ surrounding that and the impact to rural

39:45 ↗ areas that are lacking broadband so also

39:49 ↗ very very interesting and let me know if

39:52 ↗ you have more questions about that and

39:53 ↗ then went through all of the different

39:56 ↗ work plans that the group is working on

39:59 ↗ to further the work on their regional

40:01 ↗ economic strategy then also attended the

40:07 ↗ Eastside Human Services forum board

40:28 ↗ going to be going through an

40:30 ↗ organizational review and there's an RFP

40:34 ↗ out to complete that organizational

40:36 ↗ review a little bit of a review and and

40:40 ↗ looking at a redesign

40:43 ↗ there's also typically four with the

40:45 ↗ Eastside Human Services forum a

40:47 ↗ year-long focus if you remember last

40:49 ↗ year we talked about the opioid crisis

40:52 ↗ and this year just right along the lines

40:55 ↗ as we're talking about affordable

40:56 ↗ housing week that topic is affordable

40:59 ↗ housing and so in June it was

41:03 ↗ tentatively scheduled for June 20th in

41:06 ↗ the morning so I'll get more information

41:08 ↗ they're putting together their first

41:10 ↗ session which will be presentations from

41:13 ↗ four perspectives from King County from

41:16 ↗ arch from the developer perspective and

41:19 ↗ the housing development consortium so if

41:22 ↗ anybody's interested in learning sort of

41:25 ↗ from the starting point about affordable

41:27 ↗ housing and the different perspectives

41:29 ↗ around that that's a great something

41:32 ↗ great to attend so I'll get the date out

41:34 ↗ for everyone we had a legislative

41:37 ↗ committee update I won't go into that as

41:40 ↗ it would have changed post meeting a

41:43 ↗ little bit and then we also ended the

41:46 ↗ meeting by celebrating Marnie mer all

41:49 ↗ those years of service to the forum

41:51 ↗ Marnie is is moving on from heading the

41:56 ↗ forum and so got an opportunity to thank

42:00 ↗ her and that concludes my report

42:02 ↗ Thank You council president marts thank

42:05 ↗ you thank you madam mayor sound cities

42:08 ↗ meeting this Wednesday May 8th at Renton

42:12 ↗ city hall the 6 p.m. pre pick meeting is

42:15 ↗ not necessarily all that directly

42:18 ↗ applicable to us in this council meeting

42:20 ↗ using Roberts rules to keep discussion

42:22 ↗ civil and cordial are you frustrated by

42:24 ↗ dysfunctional meetings our personalities

42:26 ↗ and arguments getting in the way of your

42:27 ↗ council being as effective as it can be

42:29 ↗ join us on may 8th for a pre pick

42:31 ↗ workshop with Ann McFarland of Jurassic

42:33 ↗ Parliament to learn how to make the best

42:35 ↗ use of Roberts rules for keeping

42:36 ↗ discussions civil and cordial learn the

42:39 ↗ rules and insights that will keep your

42:40 ↗ meetings moving forward even when

42:42 ↗ members disagree and strengthen your

42:44 ↗ council's decision making process so

42:46 ↗ even if even if you agree with my

42:49 ↗ assessment that we don't need that

42:51 ↗ particularly and McFarland is really a

42:54 ↗ treasure

42:55 ↗ and every every single year that I go to

42:59 ↗ one of her sessions I learn more and you

43:02 ↗ know we belong to other you know

43:04 ↗ decision-making bodies outside this room

43:06 ↗ that could sometimes use her wisdom as

43:09 ↗ well so I'm gonna attend and I encourage

43:11 ↗ everyone else to the 7:00 p.m. regular

43:14 ↗ pick meeting there is not any specific

43:16 ↗ discussion of proposed action planned

43:18 ↗ although there's an ongoing conversation

43:19 ↗ about a couple of things that we might

43:22 ↗ want to do but nothing that would be

43:23 ↗ emergency so there's nothing I need to

43:24 ↗ talk to you about this evening King

43:39 ↗ yet this concludes my report thank you

43:42 ↗ now for the mayor's report

43:44 ↗ there will be no executive session this

43:46 ↗ evening I did this morning visit our

43:50 ↗ Jail I'm not sure that most of our

43:52 ↗ residents know that we have a jail and I

43:54 ↗ did a proclamation for National

43:56 ↗ Corrections week so I proclaimed the

43:58 ↗ week of May 5th to 11th 2019 to be

44:01 ↗ National Corrections week to pay tribute

44:03 ↗ to those women men and women who served

44:06 ↗ so faithfully the city of Issaquah has

44:09 ↗ dedicated correction officers are

44:11 ↗ essential to our justice system and

44:13 ↗ correction officers are skilled

44:15 ↗ professionals who must act as counselors

44:17 ↗ communicators educators and experts at

44:20 ↗ crisis intervention and must protect our

44:23 ↗ safety while maintaining their

44:25 ↗ professional demeanor often in a very

44:27 ↗ challenging environment and all are

44:29 ↗ committed to a common goal the secure

44:32 ↗ safe and humane operation of our jail

44:34 ↗ facility facility where employees work

44:36 ↗ to reduce future crime to change an

44:38 ↗ individual criminals behavior so I'm

44:41 ↗ issuing this Proclamation this week at a

44:44 ↗ series of department meetings and I'm

44:46 ↗ trying to catch every shift at the jail

44:48 ↗ because they do work 24 hours a day I'm

44:52 ↗ really excited to talk about the Green

44:55 ↗ Globe Award that the city of Issaquah

44:57 ↗ and the trust for public lands recently

44:59 ↗ received

45:01 ↗ so the city and the trust were recently

47:37 ↗ Tallis neighborhood and I look forward

47:40 ↗ to meeting with any community members

47:41 ↗ who would like to come for that coffee

47:43 ↗ and I had one last addition last minute

47:46 ↗ addition that was not on my official

47:48 ↗ mayor's report but I did want to let the

47:50 ↗ community and the council know that

47:52 ↗ today I had the pleasure of hiking with

47:55 ↗ our congressional representative dr. Kim

47:57 ↗ Schreyer we checked out the Bergsma

48:00 ↗ property which was recently purchased by

48:02 ↗ the city with our friends from the trust

48:05 ↗ for public lands our parks director Jeff

48:07 ↗ Watling artistic wa al --p sufficient

48:09 ↗ not o dave Kapler and his wife it was a

48:13 ↗ beautiful walk on a beautiful day and

48:15 ↗ then we spent about a half an hour after

48:17 ↗ that looking over some city plans and

48:20 ↗ talking about how we've grown why we

48:22 ↗ look the way we do and what we hope for

48:24 ↗ the next 20 years so it was really

48:25 ↗ exciting morning and that concludes the

48:29 ↗ mayor's report

48:36 ↗ proceeding to the consent calendar the

48:38 ↗ consent calendar was distributed to

48:40 ↗ council in advance and if authorized the

48:42 ↗ items on the consent calendar will be

48:44 ↗ considered together and approved in one

48:46 ↗ motion have the payables and payroll

48:48 ↗ been reviewed yes thank you the clerk

48:51 ↗ has asked me to announce that the oh

48:54 ↗ that's an old one okay

48:57 ↗ strike does any council member desire to

49:01 ↗ remove anything from the consent agenda

49:03 ↗ and considered under regular business

49:05 ↗ councilmember hunt I would like to

49:07 ↗ consider under a regular business ad

49:09 ↗ seven seven nine three anti-aircraft

49:11 ↗ Creek culvert stream bed rehabilitation

49:14 ↗ project thank you any other council

49:17 ↗ member wishing to remove any items down

49:19 ↗ to regular business okay motion to

49:23 ↗ approve the consent to calendar as

49:25 ↗ amended madam mayor I move we adopt a

49:28 ↗ kitten calendar as listed in tonight's

49:30 ↗ meeting agenda and subsequently amended

49:32 ↗ second it's been moved and seconded all

49:35 ↗ those in favor say aye

49:36 ↗ it was opposed okay um just check in

49:41 ↗ with the city administrator and city

49:43 ↗ clerk that item can be moved down to any

49:46 ↗ location on it I'm thinking of putting

49:49 ↗ it first under regular business and

49:51 ↗ saving strategic plan but I'm looking

49:53 ↗ for head nod just to see if that's

49:54 ↗ acceptable sounds good

49:57 ↗ so we'll move that to the first item

49:58 ↗ under regular business so moving to vote

50:04 ↗ okay

50:05 ↗ it didn't ask for the nays then the

50:09 ↗ first item under regular business is a

50:11 ↗ b7 seven nine three moved down from

50:14 ↗ consent calendar

50:16 ↗ councilmember hunt and so I'm questions

50:20 ↗ I did I wondered if it would be possible

50:22 ↗ just to have a brief overview of what

50:24 ↗ the bill is first so that just so we're

50:28 ↗ on the same page

50:29 ↗ that'd be possible all right or

50:34 ↗ alternatively I can go I can ask my

50:37 ↗ questions that I asked in my email sure

50:39 ↗ I think staffs are prepared to answer

50:41 ↗ your questions this evening okay

50:45 ↗ Sheldon Lyn then or have counsel yeah we

50:49 ↗ all have I'll have Sheldon come up and

50:51 ↗ he and I will help to address the

50:54 ↗ questions so this is regarding the

50:57 ↗ anti-aircraft Creek culvert streambed

51:00 ↗ rehabilitation project which we had a

51:02 ↗ number of comments on in the public

51:04 ↗ comments and we've had email also from

51:08 ↗ about and my first question was about

51:12 ↗ one of the options that's in the agenda

51:14 ↗ bill is sending to CIC or a counsel

51:18 ↗ Infrastructure Committee and this would

51:20 ↗ caused a delay of less than a month

51:23 ↗ because they could go to that committee

51:24 ↗ and then go back within May and so I

51:29 ↗ wondered why that or what possible

51:33 ↗ consequences there would be for for

51:36 ↗ doing that to have conversation on the

51:38 ↗ issue so the reason this item is in your

51:43 ↗ packet tonight is because the requested

51:46 ↗ amount for the contract is above the

51:49 ↗ mayor's contractual Authority her

51:52 ↗ procurement Authority if it was below

51:55 ↗ that it would not be in your package

51:57 ↗ tonight this is a maintenance item

52:01 ↗ that's required as a condition of the

52:04 ↗ the permits and we have available budget

52:09 ↗ to complete the work within our

52:10 ↗ maintenance budget but our purchasing

52:14 ↗ rules do require that we put this out to

52:18 ↗ bed when it's estimated to be close to

52:19 ↗ her above a certain dollar value and

52:23 ↗ that it we seek council approval if it's

52:26 ↗ above the mayor's procurement Authority

52:28 ↗ because it's not policy related because

52:31 ↗ it's just the final phase on a project

52:34 ↗ that has already been accepted by

52:36 ↗ approved by council and those

52:38 ↗ improvements accepted by council this is

52:41 ↗ a normal protocol for us to run it

52:44 ↗ through a committee okay and then

52:47 ↗ similarly why didn't this go to a

52:50 ↗ commission for example I represent

52:52 ↗ streams board same answer

52:54 ↗ it's a

52:55 ↗ daemons project

53:06 ↗ and then I don't know if I don't know if

53:09 ↗ this this was one of my questions I

53:10 ↗ don't know if it was answered in the

53:11 ↗ email that was received by me but we

53:14 ↗ also received a letter and heard public

53:16 ↗ comments about woody debris in the creek

53:18 ↗ that is to plan to be obscured by trees

53:22 ↗ and so I wondered about that and about

53:25 ↗ monitoring of that as well as any other

53:28 ↗ as well as the other components of this

53:30 ↗ rehabilitation project the monitoring

53:37 ↗ and maintenance of the mitigation for

53:40 ↗ the fish passage elements which includes

53:41 ↗ a large woody debris and so forth has

53:43 ↗ done an annual basis as part of the

53:46 ↗ requirements under the Corps permit as

53:48 ↗ well as the HPA when things are

53:51 ↗ displaced or the HPA is a hydraulic

53:56 ↗ project approval permit that

53:57 ↗ Washington's Department of Fish and

53:58 ↗ Wildlife grants the city and the Corps

54:01 ↗ of Engineers also issues a permit for

54:03 ↗ work within the waters of the state and

54:07 ↗ so those permits required us to do

54:10 ↗ mitigations for fish passage which

54:12 ↗ includes the large building debris the

54:15 ↗ gravel within the channel the gravel

54:16 ↗ within the culvert all those elements

54:19 ↗ are integral to the fish passage issues

54:21 ↗ that were required under the project we

54:25 ↗ are required to monitor and maintain

54:26 ↗ those as they were permitted this

54:29 ↗ project just maintains those as they had

54:31 ↗ a wash out within the culvert of the

54:33 ↗ gravels so if I understand correctly its

54:38 ↗ monitored and maintained on an annual

54:40 ↗ basis we have an operating line item in

54:44 ↗ the PWD budget where we do that for a

54:47 ↗ number of different sites this is one of

54:49 ↗ them and then is that is that

54:52 ↗ information about the monitoring

54:54 ↗ available in the format or not so we're

54:58 ↗ interested public in this case it was a

55:02 ↗ field visit that was done with Fish and

55:04 ↗ Wildlife I don't believe there's written

55:05 ↗ record except for the fisheries folks

55:07 ↗ saying that we need to replace the

55:09 ↗ gravels within the culvert in accordance

55:11 ↗ with the hydraulic project approval

55:20 ↗ children just a follow-up on that if

55:22 ↗ there is just email correspondence is

55:24 ↗ there just something that we could send

55:26 ↗ it councilmember hunter she's certainly

55:28 ↗ if there is email correspondence or

55:29 ↗ written correspondence we'd be happy to

55:31 ↗ send it to her thank you

55:34 ↗ I I am gonna make a motion so we can

55:37 ↗ consider this in the format of art in

55:40 ↗ the context of emotion so I would move

55:42 ↗ to refer to the may 16th 2019 council

55:45 ↗ infrastructure committee for review and

55:48 ↗ recommendation returning to the full

55:49 ↗ council on May 20th and then it also

55:53 ↗ says impacts this would delay the order

55:55 ↗ of the contract the second what's I'll

56:01 ↗ second for discussion everything is

56:03 ↗ saved

56:03 ↗ nobody seconds can't even talk I'd be

56:05 ↗ good to talk thank you okay thank you

56:08 ↗ for a second

56:09 ↗ so I I wanted to talk about this item

56:12 ↗ because firstly there seems to be a

56:14 ↗ number of questions about it and about

56:17 ↗ it appearing on the consent agenda so

56:20 ↗ that there wasn't that visibility so for

56:22 ↗ my purposes discussing it and having

56:24 ↗ these questions answered is is a step in

56:27 ↗ the right direction and just as part of

56:28 ↗ my concern I also think that this is a

56:32 ↗ little bit different than a number of of

56:34 ↗ bid awards that Council considers

56:37 ↗ firstly because it's a revision based on

56:41 ↗ the previous work not fully meeting the

56:45 ↗ needs of the project and then also one

56:49 ↗ thing I noticed is that the word amount

56:51 ↗ is much higher than the estimate so it's

56:54 ↗ it's double at the lowest and then the

56:57 ↗ other one was about four times the

56:58 ↗ estimate and so I thought it also has

57:03 ↗ implications for us as we consider

57:05 ↗ maintenance projects and things like

57:08 ↗ stream maintenance as we have

57:10 ↗ developments go in and making sure that

57:12 ↗ we do have the funding because as

57:14 ↗ Sheldon or Emily said we do have the

57:18 ↗ funding currently in the maintenance

57:19 ↗ budget for this project but it seems

57:21 ↗ like we may need more funding for these

57:24 ↗ sorts of projects and to make sure that

57:27 ↗ we are

57:27 ↗ maintaining all over all of our various

57:31 ↗ restoration and associated projects

57:36 ↗ thank you are there comments or

57:38 ↗ questions

57:40 ↗ accounts my brain I think it is good

57:46 ↗ that we're having an opportunity to talk

57:47 ↗ about it this is an issue that the

57:51 ↗ public has angst about and I think we

57:54 ↗ need to address that I think this

57:57 ↗ particular agenda bill which is the word

57:58 ↗ of a contract that's gone out for bid

58:01 ↗ and we've gone through the entire

58:02 ↗ procurement process I'm not sure that we

58:05 ↗ would change the outcome if we went

58:07 ↗ through a committee process that being

58:11 ↗ said I think more information about what

58:13 ↗ we are doing and why we are doing it and

58:15 ↗ and how that impacts the community

58:18 ↗ around the anti-aircraft Creek would be

58:21 ↗ helpful for the community but in this

58:23 ↗ case I don't see how sending it to

58:27 ↗ committee changes the outcome of the

58:29 ↗ award of this contract are there are

58:34 ↗ other comments

58:38 ↗ that's my render Stein council deputy on

58:40 ↗ surprised entities I do have the

58:44 ↗ advantage of an email thank you sent one

58:46 ↗ in Sheldon thanks for your response and

58:48 ↗ including it to all of us I did find it

58:49 ↗ very informative so I do appreciate the

58:52 ↗ response and the justification that

58:54 ↗ you've given I I am NOT going I don't

59:02 ↗ think this is necessary to go to

59:03 ↗ committee because I don't know that any

59:06 ↗ out I don't believe an outcome will

59:07 ↗ change but I do agree that perhaps some

59:11 ↗ additional information and this

59:13 ↗ justification some of which you included

59:14 ↗ in your email we should at least post

59:16 ↗ online and provide to people who are

59:18 ↗ interested it is it is it does explain

59:21 ↗ quite a bit and it which i think is

59:23 ↗ pretty critical thank you thank you it

59:26 ↗ be council president parties

59:28 ↗ thank you and thank you for the email

59:31 ↗ and the information I I just wanted to

59:34 ↗ make sure so if this is referred to

59:38 ↗ committee how does that impact the the

59:42 ↗ bid that's that is out there right now

59:46 ↗ it looks like everything was about to

59:48 ↗ start in June and this would be we've

59:53 ↗ made xx we like to see things we were

59:58 ↗ subject to the fisheries window we'd

1:00:00 ↗ like to see them begin as soon as

1:00:02 ↗ possible once that window opens but this

1:00:05 ↗ project would just be delayed for the

1:00:06 ↗ timeframe it takes to go to committee

1:00:08 ↗ and come back should it be awarded at

1:00:10 ↗ the next council meeting after committee

1:00:12 ↗ okay so no problem with now the work

1:00:16 ↗ should be able to still be accomplished

1:00:18 ↗ this season okay and the window is I

1:00:21 ↗ believe it's like June 15 to September

1:00:24 ↗ 15 or something like that I haven't read

1:00:27 ↗ the permit myself but I know what

1:00:28 ↗ typical windows are thank you their

1:00:32 ↗ comments councilmember Goodman counts my

1:00:35 ↗ Walsh thank you so remind me maybe

1:00:42 ↗ City Administrator moon can do this

1:00:47 ↗ remind me where we are on I think we

1:00:50 ↗ were gonna do a pilot about maybe

1:00:56 ↗ changing our process a little bit

1:00:57 ↗ explain where we are in that process and

1:01:02 ↗ if this is well just explain that where

1:01:08 ↗ we are for the council and the public

1:01:10 ↗ please sure we're in the middle I'd I'd

1:01:14 ↗ say we haven't fully implemented we

1:01:17 ↗ haven't officially implemented yet what

1:01:20 ↗ we have been doing since Council gave us

1:01:22 ↗ feedback both in over the course of

1:01:25 ↗ February starting with the workshop that

1:01:27 ↗ we held and then subsequent to that we

1:01:31 ↗ have been incorporating that feedback

1:01:33 ↗ into our practices which has meant we

1:01:36 ↗ have more effort into evaluating

1:01:40 ↗ whether particular agenda bill items are

1:01:45 ↗ good candidates based on the feedback we

1:01:48 ↗ had received the discussion on criteria

1:01:49 ↗ you had given us for consent agenda for

1:01:57 ↗ referral to committee or for full

1:02:01 ↗ council either special business regular

1:02:03 ↗ business or part of the work session or

1:02:07 ↗ captain committee of the whole and

1:02:10 ↗ trying to be more deliberate about

1:02:13 ↗ putting particular items on to the

1:02:15 ↗ consent agenda which were more routine

1:02:19 ↗ in nature fit in different

1:02:22 ↗ classifications contract bid award it

1:02:26 ↗ was one of those categories and we will

1:02:31 ↗ be continuing to make that transition

1:02:33 ↗ over the next several months we are

1:02:36 ↗ planning to come back to council soon to

1:02:39 ↗ lay out that plan and expect that we

1:02:43 ↗ would begin the study session format in

1:02:48 ↗ September but until then we are trying

1:02:51 ↗ to reduce the number of items that are

1:02:55 ↗ going to committee and in part by being

1:02:59 ↗ more proactive diligent about placing

1:03:03 ↗ those certain categories of items on the

1:03:06 ↗ consent agenda thank you I appreciate

1:03:10 ↗ that so I think I'm going to support the

1:03:14 ↗ motion and the reason I'm going to

1:03:15 ↗ support the motion is because we as

1:03:20 ↗ administrator moon said we are sort of

1:03:22 ↗ in the in the beginning of a the process

1:03:26 ↗ of trying some new things and our

1:03:29 ↗ community expects a high level of

1:03:32 ↗ involvement with its local government so

1:03:35 ↗ and there have been questions about this

1:03:38 ↗ and I don't haven't heard anything that

1:03:40 ↗ would cause me to be concerned about a

1:03:44 ↗ short delay of sending it to a committee

1:03:47 ↗ so that there can be more visibility on

1:03:50 ↗ it the community in that area of Newport

1:03:53 ↗ Way has just really been assaulted over

1:03:55 ↗ the past few years so I would support a

1:03:59 ↗ little bit more visibility on this

1:04:01 ↗ project now that so said I want to make

1:04:04 ↗ it clear that I also believe that we

1:04:09 ↗ need to work efficiently and there are

1:04:11 ↗ many items than we have had in the past

1:04:14 ↗ could go on the consent agenda agenda so

1:04:16 ↗ that we can be more efficient but I but

1:04:19 ↗ I you know there are exceptions every

1:04:21 ↗ once in a while so I don't want this to

1:04:23 ↗ signal that every time something comes

1:04:25 ↗ to the council with a one touch on the

1:04:27 ↗ consent agenda that I'm going to support

1:04:30 ↗ sending it to committee in the future

1:04:31 ↗ but because we are just entering this

1:04:34 ↗ pilot process and because I want to see

1:04:38 ↗ how that goes I don't want to send the

1:04:40 ↗ community the message right now that if

1:04:41 ↗ you come to our council meetings and the

1:04:43 ↗ item is on consent agenda that it's not

1:04:46 ↗ touchable so I appreciate the comments

1:04:48 ↗ and concerns of the community that's my

1:04:51 ↗ brew Walsh so children I wanted to say

1:04:54 ↗ thank you for responding to the council

1:04:58 ↗ members email I think those were very

1:05:01 ↗ succinct answers and good for the

1:05:04 ↗ community to hear as well however the

1:05:07 ↗ two main things if I heard correctly

1:05:09 ↗ from the community were that they wanted

1:05:13 ↗ to make sure that whatever is done there

1:05:16 ↗ is going to solve the problem to make

1:05:20 ↗ sure that the water is streaming at a

1:05:22 ↗ slower rate and when there is a a big

1:05:26 ↗ amount of water and then also that it

1:05:31 ↗ the fix isn't going to be washed away

1:05:33 ↗ again and I haven't heard answers to

1:05:37 ↗ that so I think that's important whether

1:05:40 ↗ it comes back to council in CIC or not

1:05:45 ↗ it's really important to get those

1:05:47 ↗ answers to the community so I would

1:05:51 ↗ appreciate that either direction we go

1:05:54 ↗ thank you

1:05:55 ↗ any other comments council president

1:05:58 ↗ Mertz

1:05:58 ↗ so

1:06:00 ↗ I respect that

1:06:04 ↗ the administration was attempting to do

1:06:06 ↗ what counsel asked it to do in the

1:06:08 ↗ streamlining of how we handle counsel

1:06:12 ↗ business in front of us and to avoid

1:06:14 ↗ many our council meetings but I think

1:06:16 ↗ that there's a critical enough mass of

1:06:18 ↗ council members that would like to have

1:06:20 ↗ for their conversation about this that

1:06:21 ↗ I'll be supporting the motion this

1:06:23 ↗ evening deputy council president patís

1:06:25 ↗ I'll be supporting the motion this

1:06:27 ↗ evening we we my question about whether

1:06:32 ↗ it would you know from a timing

1:06:35 ↗ perspective it doesn't sound like

1:06:36 ↗ there's a delay and we do definitely

1:06:39 ↗ have some questions that have come from

1:06:40 ↗ the communities so I'd like to see this

1:06:42 ↗ go to committee

1:06:45 ↗ councilmember Rea as important as I

1:06:49 ↗ think it is to be transparent as

1:06:51 ↗ important is that I think it is to be

1:06:52 ↗ responsive to our community this is a

1:06:55 ↗ extremely dangerous precedent this is

1:06:57 ↗ the award of a small contract or that

1:07:01 ↗ has already been gone through a

1:07:02 ↗ procurement process and a vetting

1:07:04 ↗ process and so we're gonna set it up for

1:07:08 ↗ worse saying if we get public comment

1:07:14 ↗ we're going to take a contract that's

1:07:16 ↗ been already vetted already procured

1:07:20 ↗ already ready for award and we're gonna

1:07:22 ↗ pull it and we're gonna put it in

1:07:24 ↗ committee there is got to be a better

1:07:26 ↗ way for us to communicate what's at what

1:07:28 ↗ we are doing then using this policy and

1:07:31 ↗ legislative body to provide information

1:07:34 ↗ to the community and I am all about

1:07:36 ↗ transparency and I am all about

1:07:38 ↗ community engagement but this is not

1:07:41 ↗ this agenda bill is to approve a

1:07:44 ↗ contract an award a contract this is not

1:07:47 ↗ to vet whether or not we're doing this

1:07:49 ↗ right and that's your job as the

1:07:51 ↗ administration to do that and if I don't

1:07:53 ↗ have confidence in you and I am doing

1:07:55 ↗ this level of oversight I think we are

1:07:57 ↗ overstepping and I just think it is the

1:08:00 ↗ wrong decision to make that's likely

1:08:03 ↗ going to get a few more hands in the air

1:08:05 ↗ councilmember winter Stein thank you

1:08:08 ↗ Thank You Sheldon I'm going to ask you

1:08:11 ↗ to fill in a little bit of information

1:08:13 ↗ for me I'm reading

1:08:14 ↗ from the agenda bill that's in the

1:08:15 ↗ packet substantially all work will be

1:08:18 ↗ done inside the culvert itself it's

1:08:23 ↗ gonna be done inside the culvert we're

1:08:25 ↗ going to replace the gravel that was

1:08:28 ↗ washed out gravel / cobble slash

1:08:30 ↗ boulders which are designed to slow the

1:08:33 ↗ velocities within the culvert for fish

1:08:36 ↗ passage we're also going to install some

1:08:39 ↗ log baffles within the culvert to hold

1:08:42 ↗ the gravels and cobbles in place as the

1:08:46 ↗ next high flows come through that was

1:08:49 ↗ something that was not allowed

1:08:50 ↗ previously and Fisheries has now said

1:08:52 ↗ yeah that's a good idea to put those in

1:08:54 ↗ there to hold the gravels in place

1:08:56 ↗ within the culvert it does not impact

1:08:58 ↗ the culverts ability to pass the

1:09:01 ↗ stormwater flows and if I thank you for

1:09:04 ↗ that and if I understood your email

1:09:06 ↗ correctly or correct me if I'm wrong

1:09:10 ↗ what you're gonna do now it was part of

1:09:14 ↗ the original design that we had proposed

1:09:16 ↗ as we were working through the design

1:09:19 ↗ issues with the Corps of Engineers

1:09:21 ↗ fisheries and the muckle chute Indian

1:09:23 ↗ tribe we wanted something inside the

1:09:26 ↗ culvert to hold those gravels in place

1:09:28 ↗ because we understood how high the

1:09:29 ↗ velocities are that come out of the

1:09:31 ↗ steep ravine mm-hmm they didn't get put

1:09:35 ↗ in because they wouldn't want they

1:09:36 ↗ didn't want us to put baffles in the

1:09:38 ↗ culvert at the time okay so this that

1:09:41 ↗ that work on the stream was designed it

1:09:44 ↗ was done there was work there was a

1:09:46 ↗ design put in a culvert

1:09:47 ↗ it wasn't what we thought should have

1:09:49 ↗ been done which and I believe it that

1:09:52 ↗ effort that design was one that had gone

1:09:54 ↗ through some public review including

1:09:58 ↗ rivers and streams is that what you

1:09:59 ↗ thought is correct this went through

1:10:01 ↗ rivers and streams as it was being

1:10:02 ↗ designed okay so so what we approved and

1:10:06 ↗ what we asked for didn't actually get we

1:10:09 ↗ weren't allowed to do that per the

1:10:11 ↗ issuer's of the contract or the contract

1:10:13 ↗ I guess that was yeah the permit thank

1:10:16 ↗ you that was Fish and Wildlife and

1:10:17 ↗ that's correct we were influenced by

1:10:19 ↗ others okay and so that design didn't

1:10:22 ↗ work and now they've come back said you

1:10:24 ↗ know you need to fix that that's part of

1:10:26 ↗ your requirement to me

1:10:27 ↗ contain this culvert and this is a

1:10:29 ↗ contract to do just that

1:10:31 ↗ to live up to our maintenance

1:10:33 ↗ obligations and to essentially build

1:10:35 ↗ inside the culvert what we thought

1:10:38 ↗ should have been there all along that's

1:10:40 ↗ correct okay thank you

1:10:43 ↗ so we'll leave this open for dialogue

1:10:46 ↗ for a little bit longer I wanted to just

1:10:48 ↗ ask a question for you to think about

1:10:50 ↗ and that is what what is it that is

1:10:56 ↗ missing is it the notification to the

1:10:59 ↗ community that the work is coming is a

1:11:02 ↗ project update to council because so

1:11:05 ↗ much of that would determine what format

1:11:07 ↗ we would use and what I'm hearing is I'm

1:11:11 ↗ hearing some council members say they

1:11:12 ↗ would like the community to get answers

1:11:15 ↗ to their questions they would like the

1:11:16 ↗ community to know that the work is

1:11:18 ↗ coming but maybe the committee format

1:11:20 ↗ isn't the way to do it so is there any

1:11:23 ↗ suggestions of how the council would

1:11:26 ↗ like to proceed with this and if not and

1:11:28 ↗ we will go to vote on returning it to

1:11:30 ↗ committee it's my understanding of order

1:11:32 ↗ isn't the motion to send it to committee

1:11:34 ↗ yes so that's the question on the table

1:11:38 ↗ is there any more discussion all in

1:11:44 ↗ favor of the motion to send it a B seven

1:11:50 ↗ seven nine three two the infrastructure

1:11:52 ↗ committee say aye aye

1:11:54 ↗ did you raise your hands please opposed

1:11:57 ↗ nay

1:11:58 ↗ that's four in favor three opposed so it

1:12:01 ↗ goes to committee I'm gonna ask right

1:12:04 ↗ now if the council has any objection to

1:12:07 ↗ opening reopening audience comments

1:12:11 ↗ because we do have King County

1:12:12 ↗ councilmember Cathy Lambert here this

1:12:14 ↗ evening who may have some information to

1:12:15 ↗ share and if it's okay with Council I'd

1:12:17 ↗ like to give her some time to come to

1:12:18 ↗ the microphone okay awesome that's a

1:12:23 ↗ member

1:12:33 ↗ thank you for inviting me to have this

1:12:35 ↗ opportunity I appreciate that

1:12:37 ↗ I just wanted to give you a heads up on

1:12:39 ↗ things that are happening so that you

1:12:41 ↗ can be aware of it

1:12:43 ↗ so one first I want to congratulate you

1:12:47 ↗ on your award that was very exciting and

1:12:48 ↗ you deserved it and it was very fun to

1:12:50 ↗ be there to watch then the pictures

1:12:52 ↗ turned out great by the way

1:12:54 ↗ so I wanted to talk to you a little bit

1:12:55 ↗ about vision 2015 and revision 2050 is

1:12:58 ↗ is being done right now by the future

1:13:00 ↗ Sun Regional Council and it's

1:13:03 ↗ tantalizing reading and so there are

1:13:06 ↗ some concerns in here that I think you

1:13:08 ↗ need to be aware of one of the things

1:13:11 ↗ I'd like to reach you is the development

1:13:13 ↗ of the patterns and one of the things is

1:13:16 ↗ the role of high capacity transit

1:13:18 ↗ station areas including questions about

1:13:20 ↗ whether they are considered the same as

1:13:22 ↗ light rail stations or regional growth

1:13:24 ↗ centers so I am very concerned that the

1:13:27 ↗ east-west growth of our County you are

1:13:30 ↗ the first people to be the east-west

1:13:32 ↗ corridor because you're the first to get

1:13:34 ↗ light rail hopefully in our lifetimes so

1:13:37 ↗ you're the first and if they decide that

1:13:41 ↗ it's only light rail that can get some

1:13:45 ↗ of these monies in the 2050 time frame

1:13:47 ↗ then and we don't get the light rail out

1:13:50 ↗ here for whatever reason it will be very

1:13:53 ↗ difficult and so I'm really concerned

1:13:55 ↗ about that language and it needs to be

1:13:57 ↗ broad language that if you have bus

1:14:00 ↗ rapid transit if you have frequent stops

1:14:03 ↗ on your best line so that you can be the

1:14:07 ↗ masters of where you want your growth to

1:14:09 ↗ be in your cities but it's determined

1:14:11 ↗ just where the light rail is going to be

1:14:14 ↗ I think that's going to be a problem

1:14:15 ↗ especially if you don't get it until

1:14:17 ↗ 2040 or later so that was one of the

1:14:20 ↗ things that I was concerned about I'm

1:14:23 ↗ also concerned that they gave three

1:14:24 ↗ definitions one of the definitions fit

1:14:28 ↗ all the criteria 100% one fit and zero

1:14:31 ↗ percent which is a little frightening

1:14:33 ↗ when you can hit zero criteria makes me

1:14:36 ↗ a little suspicious and then what hit

1:14:38 ↗ one third of the criteria

1:14:41 ↗ I think that in looking at the criterias

1:14:44 ↗ on how gross should be number one was no

1:14:48 ↗ changes to our growth which is probably

1:14:50 ↗ not practical if we're going to have 1.8

1:14:52 ↗ million more people coming and number

1:14:55 ↗ three was only where the light rail is

1:14:56 ↗ and number two was to make some more

1:14:59 ↗ adjustments I think that going with any

1:15:02 ↗ of the three that maybe we need to open

1:15:04 ↗ up a fourth choice and leave for more

1:15:07 ↗ discretion I'm very concerned that some

1:15:10 ↗ of the cities in our county as well as

1:15:12 ↗ other counties are being pushed in ways

1:15:15 ↗ that they may not want to be the other

1:15:17 ↗ question that we coming up is floor and

1:15:20 ↗ ceiling definitions so in the past

1:15:22 ↗ growth has always been when you got your

1:15:24 ↗ number that was your floor you had to

1:15:26 ↗ provide at least that many opportunities

1:15:29 ↗ for housing and jobs in your area they

1:15:32 ↗ want to say that's your ceiling and that

1:15:34 ↗ is a problem because if your ceiling is

1:15:37 ↗ such that you're going to actually have

1:15:39 ↗ more growth than that then you can't

1:15:41 ↗ prepare for the growth you think is

1:15:43 ↗ coming and only you as the council

1:15:45 ↗ members of your area know what you think

1:15:48 ↗ is going to be coming here and you

1:15:49 ↗ should prepare for what you think not

1:15:51 ↗ what somebody else thinks so I'm

1:15:53 ↗ concerned about that definition so I

1:15:56 ↗ think that's something I just wanted to

1:15:57 ↗ give you a heads up

1:15:58 ↗ let's see broadband contract we're

1:16:01 ↗ having lots of problems with the

1:16:02 ↗ broadband contracts we are going to be

1:16:05 ↗ renegotiating in 2022 and we're starting

1:16:09 ↗ to put some feelers out on that so if

1:16:11 ↗ you are interested in that let me know

1:16:12 ↗ because I have some concerns about the

1:16:15 ↗ fact we don't have enough competition in

1:16:17 ↗ the county and wanting to make sure we

1:16:18 ↗ have more competition you know that we

1:16:20 ↗ finally passed our solid waste comp plan

1:16:23 ↗ since 20 just 2001 so it was a long time

1:16:28 ↗ in coming but unfortunately in the plan

1:16:31 ↗ it does not say what we will do when the

1:16:34 ↗ landfill closes and I am very concerned

1:16:37 ↗ about the issues at the landfill and

1:16:39 ↗ what it's doing to the leachate and the

1:16:42 ↗ water table so we have put a study out

1:16:45 ↗ arcaders got the contract they are

1:16:48 ↗ national experts and looking at

1:16:50 ↗ technology and in our meeting we told

1:16:53 ↗ them that they were

1:16:54 ↗ to look at landfill costs and pluses and

1:16:57 ↗ minuses fray trailing pluses and minuses

1:17:00 ↗ and then there to look internationally

1:17:01 ↗ at what is the best technology in the

1:17:04 ↗ world and they were so cute you really

1:17:06 ↗ want to look at the best you don't have

1:17:08 ↗ any preconceived notion you don't want

1:17:10 ↗ us to come up with this answer you know

1:17:12 ↗ we just want to know what the best is so

1:17:14 ↗ that report will be back October 4th the

1:17:17 ↗ executive and I are in complete

1:17:19 ↗ agreement about the study except for one

1:17:22 ↗ point and that one point is he would

1:17:24 ↗ like to wait about 10 years to start it

1:17:26 ↗ and I wanted to do it 10 years ago so

1:17:29 ↗ we're gonna have to look at what is the

1:17:32 ↗ right timing for using this technology

1:17:34 ↗ and I think our experts will be able to

1:17:37 ↗ give that to us and I think that was the

1:17:39 ↗ only things I wanted to tell you about

1:17:41 ↗ so you have any questions for me I think

1:17:45 ↗ so but Thank You councilmember Lambert

1:17:47 ↗ for the update appreciated thank you

1:17:51 ↗ thank you for that counsel

1:17:54 ↗ our next item under regular business is

1:17:57 ↗ a b7 749 citywide strategic plan they

1:18:02 ↗ asked tonight is to approve the

1:18:03 ↗ resolution so I'm excited to announce

1:18:06 ↗ this item the our Issaquah project plan

1:18:08 ↗ was first introduced at the April 2008

1:18:11 ↗ team council meeting and over the past

1:18:13 ↗ year and a half our past year and a

1:18:15 ↗ little bit was developed and refined

1:18:17 ↗ with extensive input from the community

1:18:19 ↗ city staff and the council this work

1:18:22 ↗ Kent will culminate in the adoption of

1:18:24 ↗ the plan hopefully at tonight's council

1:18:26 ↗ meeting I'd like to ask sustainability

1:18:28 ↗ director David Fujimoto to make a

1:18:30 ↗ presentation great thank you very much

1:18:32 ↗ madam mayor and council members I

1:18:34 ↗ excited to be here tonight and hopefully

1:18:38 ↗ you are as well it's been a body of work

1:18:40 ↗ working on this the city's first ever

1:18:42 ↗ citywide strategic plan and so I didn't

1:18:45 ↗ want to take a moment and thank the

1:18:46 ↗ project team that's been involved with

1:18:48 ↗ us it's included our city administrator

1:18:51 ↗ Emily moon as well as Micah blankowski

1:18:54 ↗ and Megan Curtis Murphy was backed up by

1:18:57 ↗ support from BDS planning and consulting

1:19:00 ↗ Gabriel Silver Platt is here with us

1:19:02 ↗ tonight but there was also

1:19:04 ↗ Danlos ik and

1:19:07 ↗ Brian Scott who were key players in the

1:19:09 ↗ project I also want to thank you for

1:19:11 ↗ your time and dedication on the work on

1:19:13 ↗ this project it's been a considerable

1:19:15 ↗ time and attention on your part and

1:19:17 ↗ we've definitely appreciated the

1:19:19 ↗ thoughtful conversations that have been

1:19:21 ↗ associated with that as well as the

1:19:23 ↗ input and the work that's been done by

1:19:25 ↗ staff and then the feedback from the

1:19:27 ↗ community which is really the driver for

1:19:29 ↗ this plan when we started this process

1:19:33 ↗ for the strategic plan just over a year

1:19:36 ↗ ago we had outlined a number of goals

1:19:40 ↗ for the project itself and they really

1:19:42 ↗ stem from some past conversations that

1:19:45 ↗ this council and administration had had

1:19:47 ↗ about moving towards a more strategic

1:19:49 ↗ approach in our work and that's a not

1:19:52 ↗ only a best practice it's a way that we

1:19:54 ↗ wanted to go in order to build helped

1:19:56 ↗ refine our focus it was about better

1:19:59 ↗ aligning our efforts and focused towards

1:20:01 ↗ a clear vision and a strategy for how to

1:20:03 ↗ get there and we also knew that as core

1:20:06 ↗ and you'd be driven from community based

1:20:07 ↗ priorities and so we followed approach

1:20:09 ↗ that helped us to kind of illuminate

1:20:12 ↗ that and to gather that content it also

1:20:16 ↗ provided is intended to provide for a

1:20:19 ↗ more deliberate forward-looking and

1:20:21 ↗ informed strategic and strategic

1:20:23 ↗ decision-making and so that we could

1:20:26 ↗ also understand in overall context for

1:20:28 ↗ that work

1:20:29 ↗ and then we knew that we wanted to make

1:20:31 ↗ better use of performance metrics to

1:20:33 ↗ evaluate our progress and to make

1:20:35 ↗ refinements and adjustments as we go

1:20:36 ↗ forward and then finally we know that

1:20:39 ↗ this is ultimately an important

1:20:41 ↗ communication tool back to our community

1:20:43 ↗ about where we're going where we want to

1:20:45 ↗ be in how we're going to get there

1:20:49 ↗ likewise the community engagement

1:20:51 ↗ process was very critical to this

1:20:53 ↗ overall project through a variety of

1:20:56 ↗ means and methods whether those were

1:20:58 ↗ focus groups meetings in a box community

1:21:01 ↗ pop-ups a whole series of different

1:21:02 ↗ dialogues and charettes

1:21:04 ↗ we received more than 16 hundred and 50

1:21:07 ↗ community responses and those responses

1:21:09 ↗ occurred throughout the process so we

1:21:12 ↗ started at a broad engagement process

1:21:14 ↗ upfront but then also had multiple ways

1:21:17 ↗ of engaging the community and

1:21:18 ↗ stakeholders

1:21:19 ↗ throughout and as we went forward with

1:21:21 ↗ the project itself on this page which is

1:21:28 ↗ taken from the strategic plan it's kind

1:21:30 ↗ of a summary and we call it the plan on

1:21:32 ↗ the page it outlines the vision mission

1:21:34 ↗ and guiding principles which were

1:21:37 ↗ updated through this process as well as

1:21:40 ↗ the six strategic priority areas and the

1:21:43 ↗ goal statements associated with them as

1:21:47 ↗ I mentioned there are the six

1:21:49 ↗ community-driven strategic priority

1:21:53 ↗ areas around mobility growth and

1:21:54 ↗ development environmental stewardship

1:21:57 ↗ social and economic vitality city

1:21:59 ↗ leadership and services and

1:22:00 ↗ infrastructure and as a part of the plan

1:22:05 ↗ in each of those strategical areas the

1:22:09 ↗ plan outlines several different pieces

1:22:11 ↗ whether there are some contextual

1:22:12 ↗ statements which provide some

1:22:14 ↗ information about the setting and the

1:22:15 ↗ context for each of those areas some

1:22:18 ↗ potential actions which are really meant

1:22:20 ↗ to illustrate the work that is could be

1:22:23 ↗ achieved through the strategic plan as

1:22:26 ↗ well as the success measures as I

1:22:28 ↗ mentioned before here we have mobility

1:22:30 ↗ the section and the goal is getting

1:22:33 ↗ around town is easier for people who

1:22:35 ↗ live work and play here and there are

1:22:37 ↗ three different objectives that are

1:22:39 ↗ outlined and four different success

1:22:42 ↗ measures growth and development is

1:22:47 ↗ another strategic priority area and the

1:22:50 ↗ goal statement here is that growth is

1:22:52 ↗ proactively managed planned and

1:22:54 ↗ communicated in a responsible way that

1:22:56 ↗ retains our strong sense of community

1:22:58 ↗ and livability there are four different

1:23:01 ↗ objectives that we've outlined through

1:23:03 ↗ this process in this area as well as

1:23:06 ↗ three different success measures

1:23:10 ↗ environmental stewardship is another

1:23:13 ↗ area the goal statement there is

1:23:15 ↗ environmental resources are proactively

1:23:17 ↗ enhanced protected and stewarded really

1:23:21 ↗ harkening back to the fact that the

1:23:23 ↗ environment is a key defining feature of

1:23:25 ↗ Issaquah an area we heard lots of

1:23:27 ↗ comments in this area there are three

1:23:30 ↗ different objectives and four different

1:23:32 ↗ success measures which

1:23:33 ↗ than outlined and then in social and

1:23:38 ↗ economic vitality the goal statement is

1:23:40 ↗ an economically vital and diverse

1:23:43 ↗ community is supported by robust

1:23:45 ↗ businesses affordable housing and

1:23:47 ↗ supportive services this really relates

1:23:51 ↗ back to the fact that residential growth

1:23:54 ↗ has been outpacing job creation and

1:23:56 ↗ considerations about housing

1:23:58 ↗ affordability wanting to increase the

1:24:00 ↗ ability for people to both live and work

1:24:03 ↗ in the community more businesses and

1:24:05 ↗ more services and then supportive

1:24:07 ↗ services to help more of our vulnerable

1:24:09 ↗ populations and here there's three

1:24:13 ↗ different objectives and four different

1:24:15 ↗ success measures the next category is

1:24:21 ↗ City of leadership and services and the

1:24:25 ↗ goal statement here is that leadership

1:24:26 ↗ and accountability in the delivery of

1:24:28 ↗ public services for our growing and

1:24:30 ↗ diversifying community and this harkens

1:24:34 ↗ back to an understanding that our

1:24:36 ↗ community is becoming more diverse and

1:24:37 ↗ that putting a strong emphasis around

1:24:40 ↗ community engagement and using a variety

1:24:43 ↗ of different methods and integrating

1:24:45 ↗ those into city processes as well as

1:24:47 ↗ focusing in on service delivery and how

1:24:50 ↗ do we improve and have a some attention

1:24:52 ↗ around continuous improvement and we've

1:24:54 ↗ identified two primary objectives here

1:24:57 ↗ as well as to performance measures and

1:25:01 ↗ then finally infrastructure and the goal

1:25:03 ↗ statement here is an infrastructure

1:25:05 ↗ system that is planned designed built

1:25:07 ↗ and well maintained supports current and

1:25:10 ↗ future community needs and this is

1:25:12 ↗ really that the infrastructure provides

1:25:14 ↗ the underpinnings of the local economic

1:25:16 ↗ vitality the environment and our daily

1:25:18 ↗ lives it's a core function of the city

1:25:20 ↗ and the city has leveraged his growth in

1:25:23 ↗ the past and we really need to put some

1:25:26 ↗ additional emphasis on planning for the

1:25:28 ↗ future there's just one objective into

1:25:30 ↗ this one but it's significant and it's

1:25:33 ↗ putting plans and resources in place to

1:25:35 ↗ consider operations maintenance

1:25:38 ↗ replacement of infrastructure throughout

1:25:40 ↗ its lifecycle and really kind of

1:25:42 ↗ planning for that future ahead and

1:25:45 ↗ there's two different success measures

1:25:46 ↗ that were

1:25:47 ↗ line is part of this as well and then

1:25:50 ↗ finally because we know you know this is

1:25:52 ↗ the plan that we really comes to life

1:25:55 ↗ once we put it into action there was

1:25:57 ↗ some intention around building out an

1:25:59 ↗ implementation framework so that we

1:26:01 ↗ could effectively move this plan forward

1:26:04 ↗ it includes several tools includes

1:26:07 ↗ prioritization criteria there's also

1:26:10 ↗ this notion of have three buckets of

1:26:12 ↗ different work including a strategic

1:26:13 ↗ work plan a critical services work plan

1:26:16 ↗ and time the opportunities how do we

1:26:18 ↗ approach that work as it comes forward

1:26:19 ↗ to us and then there's also this this

1:26:22 ↗ annual schedule with a focus on

1:26:24 ↗ continuous improvement and following a

1:26:26 ↗ plan do check and adjust process so that

1:26:30 ↗ we can maintain our focus on planning

1:26:31 ↗ and implementation and checking and

1:26:33 ↗ evaluating and then learning and

1:26:35 ↗ refinement and then next steps assuming

1:26:42 ↗ we are ready to adopt the plan we will

1:26:45 ↗ immediately move towards implementation

1:26:47 ↗ we have plans for a Strad a strategic

1:26:50 ↗ plan and budget workshop coming up in

1:26:52 ↗ June and that's kind of that first step

1:26:54 ↗ as we start to enter that cycle where we

1:26:57 ↗ would start to look at some of the

1:26:59 ↗ potential actions and how those line up

1:27:01 ↗ with the objectives and goals in

1:27:02 ↗ preparation for the 2020 budget process

1:27:05 ↗ so we can begin implementation at that

1:27:07 ↗ point in time and then in July we'll

1:27:11 ↗ also hear some results from the National

1:27:14 ↗ Community Survey that's just the timing

1:27:17 ↗ on which we will be getting that

1:27:18 ↗ information and then in August we will

1:27:21 ↗ have a financial workshop to get some

1:27:23 ↗ additional content around better details

1:27:26 ↗ for what we're anticipating for the 2020

1:27:28 ↗ budget and readjusting and aligning as

1:27:31 ↗ we start to go into budget deliberations

1:27:35 ↗ thank you questions

1:27:43 ↗ motion alright

1:27:51 ↗ caught flat-footed here I apologize yes

1:27:57 ↗ I'd like to make a motion I would like

1:28:01 ↗ to move to adopt resolution number 2019

1:28:04 ↗ - Oh for adopting our Issaquah the city

1:28:10 ↗ strategic plan is there a second I can't

1:28:14 ↗ moved and seconded is there discussion

1:28:19 ↗ who's going to say there's got to be a

1:28:23 ↗ discussion councilmember winter sangre

1:28:24 ↗ and hunt amenities there's a lot to look

1:28:33 ↗ forward to as an outcome of this work

1:28:36 ↗ over the years as I've participated in

1:28:42 ↗ the activities here in council worked

1:28:44 ↗ with staff a couple different

1:28:46 ↗ administrations now

1:28:49 ↗ there's always some labor involved to

1:28:54 ↗ understand what is our top priorities

1:28:57 ↗ today if we don't do something or if

1:29:02 ↗ we're gonna do something new what do we

1:29:03 ↗ not do in its stead and what part of

1:29:07 ↗ what has been lacking has been a

1:29:08 ↗ framework that gave us some road signs

1:29:12 ↗ and some guidance on how to actually to

1:29:17 ↗ prioritize how to weigh certain

1:29:20 ↗ strategic priorities against one another

1:29:23 ↗ I think what's important about this plan

1:29:27 ↗ in addition to the process and the level

1:29:31 ↗ of engagement and input we got a lot of

1:29:33 ↗ input it would have been great to even

1:29:35 ↗ get more but we have to move forward

1:29:38 ↗ because this is a tool that we want to

1:29:40 ↗ use as you can see and I appreciate this

1:29:42 ↗ slide up here that we have some

1:29:44 ↗ important work in front of us in

1:29:46 ↗ establishing like the budget that's

1:29:48 ↗ coming up for for next year and David if

1:29:51 ↗ you actually go back one slide there's

1:29:53 ↗ another element here I think it's

1:29:55 ↗ important I want to point out that if

1:29:57 ↗ you look at those three boxes in the

1:29:58 ↗ bottom left the work that what's in the

1:30:01 ↗ green there is what we've identified

1:30:03 ↗ that's part of the strategic work plan

1:30:06 ↗ but there's a lot not in this strategic

1:30:08 ↗ work plan that we still have to do as a

1:30:11 ↗ city those don't go away and of course

1:30:14 ↗ they we did they don't need to be

1:30:15 ↗ mentioned in here but your we're still

1:30:19 ↗ gonna we still have a lot of you know

1:30:22 ↗ critical functions and maintenance

1:30:26 ↗ activities and infrastructure things

1:30:29 ↗ that we do day to day those aren't going

1:30:31 ↗ to go away but what's also in this

1:30:34 ↗ frameworks what I think is important it

1:30:36 ↗ is is that a methodology for considering

1:30:41 ↗ them you know what to what to put in

1:30:43 ↗ what to prioritize what to put on a work

1:30:45 ↗ plan what to fund but also to

1:30:47 ↗ methodology to deal with new

1:30:49 ↗ opportunities that arise and and that's

1:30:53 ↗ some of the structure and the framework

1:30:55 ↗ that we haven't had here in the past so

1:30:58 ↗ I think there is there's going to be a

1:31:02 ↗ lot of work

1:31:03 ↗ in discussing and deciding upon what

1:31:07 ↗ order and how to prioritize and how to

1:31:10 ↗ maybe bring new things in that we didn't

1:31:13 ↗ consider and and what not to do but

1:31:15 ↗ previously we didn't have a framework in

1:31:18 ↗ which to work in so I'm I'm glad to have

1:31:21 ↗ got to this point I think the staff and

1:31:23 ↗ all my colleagues and everybody from the

1:31:24 ↗ community who participated thank you

1:31:26 ↗ Thank You councilmember we're just named

1:31:28 ↗ councilmember Rea well first thanks to

1:31:31 ↗ David and the planning team to our

1:31:33 ↗ consultants to my council colleagues

1:31:35 ↗ there was a lot of effort that went into

1:31:37 ↗ this but mostly thanks to the public

1:31:39 ↗ that helped make this plan really what

1:31:40 ↗ it is and to help provide the

1:31:42 ↗ information to guide the plan in to

1:31:44 ↗ online to priorities there was a

1:31:47 ↗ significant investment in time and money

1:31:48 ↗ in generating this plan and the plan is

1:31:51 ↗ not perfect but no plan ever is the

1:31:54 ↗ planning process has been valuable and

1:31:56 ↗ provide a great opportunity to engage

1:31:57 ↗ the public and to understand what was on

1:32:00 ↗ people's minds and where their

1:32:01 ↗ priorities were this is an important

1:32:03 ↗ first step in aligning our future vision

1:32:06 ↗ and our future investments ultimately

1:32:08 ↗ the strategic plan is a tool we're going

1:32:11 ↗ to need having to learn how to use it

1:32:12 ↗ and plan better to serve our community

1:32:15 ↗ I'm really supportive of this plan I

1:32:18 ↗ hope that we as a body can commit to

1:32:20 ↗ using this plan and that we can commit

1:32:22 ↗ to continuing to refine the plan and to

1:32:24 ↗ help us enhance the value that we

1:32:25 ↗ provide I am very excited to take the

1:32:30 ↗ next steps I'm very excited to see how

1:32:32 ↗ we use this plan and I'm looking forward

1:32:35 ↗ to the evolution of not only the plan

1:32:37 ↗ but the planning process Thank You

1:32:40 ↗ councilmember a councilmember hunt thank

1:32:43 ↗ you

1:32:44 ↗ so council Harbor a had previously

1:32:47 ↗ discussed about this plan having a

1:32:49 ↗ rolling five-year time horizon and that

1:32:52 ↗ it and the importance of this being a

1:32:54 ↗ work in progress and I think for me that

1:32:56 ↗ has been a really important important in

1:32:59 ↗ terms of my understanding of how the

1:33:01 ↗ plan will be used I have and have been

1:33:06 ↗ concerned for a while that this is a

1:33:08 ↗ plan that sets community expectations

1:33:11 ↗ and at the same time we also know that

1:33:13 ↗ we

1:33:14 ↗ probably cannot do all of the things in

1:33:16 ↗ the plan within the time window and let

1:33:18 ↗ the plan will change so this this is a

1:33:21 ↗ work in progress and it sets

1:33:24 ↗ expectations but it also hopefully sets

1:33:27 ↗ the expectation that this is what we

1:33:29 ↗ current our current council hopes to do

1:33:31 ↗ and then with time as budget realities

1:33:35 ↗ affect what we can actually do and as

1:33:37 ↗ well as when there over time as the

1:33:40 ↗ council changes and our priorities

1:33:41 ↗ change the plan itself will change and

1:33:43 ↗ it will be a living document I think we

1:33:48 ↗ are going to learn a lot from using this

1:33:50 ↗ in the budgeting process this year I'm

1:33:52 ↗ excited to see how it affects our

1:33:54 ↗ budgeting I think that as as we develop

1:33:58 ↗ to the plan we over time the plan sort

1:34:04 ↗ of became more detailed and I think that

1:34:08 ↗ the budgeting process by its nature will

1:34:11 ↗ will involve more refining and more

1:34:14 ↗ selecting and more prioritizing and so I

1:34:16 ↗ think as we use the plan for budgeting

1:34:19 ↗ we'll really see how it gets to work and

1:34:21 ↗ so I'm excited I'm excited about that I

1:34:24 ↗ also wanted to make sure to thank

1:34:27 ↗ everybody who participated in the plan

1:34:29 ↗ especially we did get a lot of public

1:34:31 ↗ comments and a lot of public input and

1:34:35 ↗ so I wanted to acknowledge all of that

1:34:36 ↗ whether it was excited disappointed

1:34:40 ↗ hopeful all of the comments that we

1:34:42 ↗ received they were all very helpful and

1:34:46 ↗ even as as late as this evening we had

1:34:49 ↗ comments on the plan and that it wasn't

1:34:53 ↗ finished and I think for me it is really

1:34:56 ↗ important that this is not a closed book

1:34:58 ↗ that we're just gonna we're gonna close

1:35:00 ↗ it this evening and then we're gonna put

1:35:02 ↗ it on a shelf and we're gonna look at it

1:35:04 ↗ every once in a while it's actually

1:35:05 ↗ going to be a living document and we

1:35:06 ↗ will update it and future councils will

1:35:09 ↗ update the plan so I'm excited to see

1:35:12 ↗ how this plays out in budgeting and I'm

1:35:15 ↗ supportive of the plan and thank you for

1:35:16 ↗ all the work and also thank you to the

1:35:19 ↗ community who really helped shape the

1:35:20 ↗ plan Thank You councilmember hunt deputy

1:35:23 ↗ council president parties so I am

1:35:27 ↗ proud to have participated in the city's

1:35:29 ↗ very first strategic plan for the city I

1:35:33 ↗ think the plan itself is ambitious and

1:35:37 ↗ and I think that is it is going to

1:35:40 ↗ evolve over time but I believe that

1:35:43 ↗ having this strategic vision is going to

1:35:45 ↗ be a very useful guide for years to come

1:35:49 ↗ and I also to echo councilmember hunt

1:35:53 ↗ see this is a living document and and

1:35:56 ↗ something that will evolve and grow over

1:35:59 ↗ time and look very much interested in

1:36:03 ↗ looking forward to being able to have

1:36:05 ↗ this plan as we go through our upcoming

1:36:08 ↗ budget session and just with our our

1:36:12 ↗ future projects our Issaquah I leave is

1:36:18 ↗ such a fitting title the vision sets out

1:36:21 ↗ the community priorities and they are

1:36:24 ↗ priorities that we all as a community

1:36:26 ↗ had an opportunity to discuss with one

1:36:29 ↗ another I really wanted to take an

1:36:32 ↗ opportunity to thank all of the Charette

1:36:35 ↗ participants the community and all of

1:36:37 ↗ the community members who reached out to

1:36:42 ↗ coming to Council sending emails or just

1:37:27 ↗ effort to engage all sectors of the

1:37:31 ↗ community both the business community

1:37:33 ↗ and residents and community activists

1:37:36 ↗ and community volunteers and

1:37:39 ↗ it shows in the in the strength of the

1:37:42 ↗ feedback city staff David and and all

1:37:46 ↗ the directors and and and folks who were

1:37:48 ↗ involved in this this is a great day and

1:37:51 ↗ so I have to quote Winston Churchill

1:37:54 ↗ because we've we've talked about how

1:37:57 ↗ this is you know this is not the end and

1:38:01 ↗ the important parts will be how we use

1:38:03 ↗ this going forward so I will quote

1:38:05 ↗ Churchill from 1942 after the Battle of

1:38:07 ↗ El Alamein now this is not the end it is

1:38:12 ↗ not even the beginning of the end but it

1:38:14 ↗ is perhaps the end of the beginning okay

1:38:18 ↗ good luck top I'm gonna plan on topping

1:38:27 ↗ anyone there have been some fantastic

1:38:32 ↗ mentions here and I would second

1:38:35 ↗ everything that I've heard so far I've

1:38:38 ↗ only been in on this toward the end so I

1:38:42 ↗ have come in and just seen with wide

1:38:45 ↗ eyes the huge undertaking that staff and

1:38:49 ↗ the consultants and council took on and

1:38:52 ↗ I am very appreciative of that seeing

1:38:55 ↗ just the tail end to discuss the

1:39:01 ↗ undertaking that the community did in

1:39:05 ↗ all of this feedback I would say thank

1:39:07 ↗ you and please use this to hold us

1:39:10 ↗ accountable the the goal here is that we

1:39:14 ↗ heard the community's input

1:39:17 ↗ yeah and condensed it down into a

1:39:21 ↗ strategic plan that we are then going to

1:39:23 ↗ use for policy making and budgeting

1:39:27 ↗ going forward and also performance

1:39:29 ↗ measures to measure our effectiveness of

1:39:32 ↗ that please hold us accountable use that

1:39:36 ↗ bring it up we want to make the

1:39:40 ↗ community proud with our use of this

1:39:42 ↗ document and calling the community to

1:39:46 ↗ continue to be involved in that I think

1:39:48 ↗ is essential for us making that a

1:39:51 ↗ reality

1:39:52 ↗ Thank You councilmember Goodman thank

1:39:55 ↗ you so I agree with all the comments of

1:39:59 ↗ my fellow councilmembers I have asked

1:40:05 ↗ for and pushed for and was told we were

1:40:09 ↗ going to work on and get a strategic

1:40:10 ↗ plan all the way back to early 2012 I

1:40:14 ↗ believe and so this this is an exciting

1:40:18 ↗ day that we have a plan that we can vote

1:40:21 ↗ on I agree with the evolving document I

1:40:27 ↗ agree with all of the feedback and the

1:40:30 ↗ thank-yous to everybody who was involved

1:40:32 ↗ and very much looking forward to how we

1:40:36 ↗ use the document I will say however and

1:40:41 ↗ I want to make sure that I say it on the

1:40:42 ↗ night of the vote that I have a couple

1:40:44 ↗ of concerns one is that it is very broad

1:40:46 ↗ and I think we should have done a better

1:40:50 ↗ job of being more disciplined about

1:40:51 ↗ making this a narrower plan that's one

1:40:55 ↗ of my concerns and the second concern is

1:41:00 ↗ related to that and that is that I am

1:41:03 ↗ hoping that this doesn't become an

1:41:05 ↗ annual sort of de facto goal setting

1:41:08 ↗ which is what we used to do a few years

1:41:10 ↗ ago and you know when we get together

1:41:12 ↗ for a day and and all of us sort of

1:41:18 ↗ jockey lobby whatever you want to call

1:41:20 ↗ it you know for forgetting things and

1:41:22 ↗ prioritized for the following year based

1:41:25 ↗ on what we think is important and the

1:41:27 ↗ reason I'm concerned about that is

1:41:28 ↗ because I believe the plan is broad

1:41:29 ↗ enough that we can almost argue that

1:41:36 ↗ almost anything is important that's my

1:41:39 ↗ concern but again I want to reiterate

1:41:41 ↗ that I am excited that we have a plan

1:41:43 ↗ and I'm excited that we are going to use

1:41:46 ↗ it very very soon

1:41:48 ↗ as part of our first budgeting session

1:41:50 ↗ so I'm absolutely in support and again I

1:41:53 ↗ want to thank everybody for all of their

1:41:55 ↗ hard work and involvement thank you any

1:41:58 ↗ more comments

1:42:02 ↗ so if there's no further discussion all

1:42:04 ↗ those in favor of approving resolution

1:42:07 ↗ number two zero one nine zero for

1:42:09 ↗ adopting our Issaquah the city's

1:42:12 ↗ strategic plan please signify by saying

1:42:14 ↗ aye aye

1:42:15 ↗ it was opposed it carries unanimously

1:42:19 ↗ thank you that is the end of a very

1:42:22 ↗ large year-long project and I appreciate

1:42:25 ↗ all the effort that you put in and all

1:42:26 ↗ the effort that the community put in

1:42:29 ↗ well did you want to add something

1:42:31 ↗ no okay I was I was like thank you there

1:42:37 ↗ you go

1:42:38 ↗ we are now in too good of the order do

1:42:40 ↗ council members have anything for good

1:42:42 ↗ of the order

1:42:43 ↗ councilmember winter stated that one of

1:42:44 ↗ those in a minute front that I have not

1:42:48 ↗ taken the time right now to watch the

1:42:50 ↗ land and Shore meeting so I don't know

1:42:52 ↗ what kind of discussion had but there's

1:42:55 ↗ a topic concerning the single-family

1:42:58 ↗ suburban zoning and I was wondering if

1:43:01 ↗ in this forum I could get an explanation

1:43:04 ↗ of I could hear you know what happened

1:43:08 ↗ and why it may be coming a different

1:43:11 ↗ route okay great did you yeah did you

1:43:13 ↗ want to start with the chair I'm open to

1:43:17 ↗ anybody even stuff okay we could hear

1:43:21 ↗ from City Administrator and we could

1:43:23 ↗ also hear from the chair so well so so

1:43:26 ↗ we met about the single-family zone

1:43:31 ↗ agenda bill which was regarding duplex

1:43:35 ↗ and cluster development in that

1:43:37 ↗ single-family zone and we met about that

1:43:40 ↗ last month at Landon Shore and then it

1:43:42 ↗ was scheduled to have two it was

1:43:44 ↗ originally scheduled to have two touches

1:43:46 ↗ and the second touch would have been

1:43:47 ↗ last week and that meeting was cancelled

1:43:50 ↗ and the reason for that which the

1:43:55 ↗ administration can elaborate on if they

1:43:57 ↗ would like is that in the process of

1:44:00 ↗ addressing the questions that Landon

1:44:02 ↗ Shore had there was a question around

1:44:04 ↗ the bigger bigger context and that there

1:44:06 ↗ was a need for informational touch with

1:44:09 ↗ council regarding the

1:44:12 ↗ issue rather than having it go to land

1:44:15 ↗ in shorts to more narrowly address those

1:44:17 ↗ questions the administrator moon did you

1:44:22 ↗ want to add anything to that that's good

1:44:26 ↗ is that address your questions or didi

1:44:29 ↗ would you were you're interested in the

1:44:31 ↗ specifics of what the question well

1:44:33 ↗ maybe I'll have to watch the big so so

1:44:35 ↗ there were there there was a proposal

1:44:37 ↗ from the administration and this sounds

1:44:43 ↗ to me like the committee thought based

1:44:47 ↗ upon your comments just now that there

1:44:50 ↗ may be was some background and maybe

1:44:52 ↗ that all counsel needed and there's may

1:44:55 ↗ be a larger question for us to be

1:44:59 ↗ considering well I think that so and

1:45:02 ↗ committee members can correct me if I'm

1:45:05 ↗ or it can add but the committee had a

1:45:09 ↗ number of questions about what other

1:45:10 ↗ options we could have to address what we

1:45:13 ↗ saw as the problem that the bill was

1:45:15 ↗ addressing and then there was I guess a

1:45:18 ↗ discussion around those questions but

1:45:22 ↗ then there was from the administration I

1:45:25 ↗ need to give a bigger context for the

1:45:29 ↗ problem at hands which hadn't been given

1:45:31 ↗ to us at the April meeting and so that's

1:45:34 ↗ where we're gonna have an informational

1:45:36 ↗ item about the bigger context of that

1:45:37 ↗ though okay come back as an

1:45:40 ↗ informational item an ID and then but

1:45:43 ↗ there's a already a bill that's been

1:45:45 ↗ struck and that's gonna have tabs that's

1:45:47 ↗ gonna have to be concluded somehow I

1:45:50 ↗ think I think the chair did a really

1:45:52 ↗ good job of describing it they think in

1:45:54 ↗ general what we would like to do more

1:45:56 ↗ often than not is to have that first

1:45:58 ↗ conversation with Council with a memo

1:46:01 ↗ get direction before need be was formed

1:46:03 ↗ so this went to committee as an a/b and

1:46:06 ↗ after listening to the committee's

1:46:09 ↗ questions it's a significant issue and a

1:46:13 ↗ story to be told and perhaps going back

1:46:16 ↗ to the seven makes sense at this point

1:46:18 ↗ in time and and probably through landed

1:46:20 ↗ sure

1:46:25 ↗ council city administrator moon thank

1:46:29 ↗ you I think the intent right now is as

1:46:35 ↗ the mayor discussed to bring forward an

1:46:37 ↗ ID memo which will provide hopefully a

1:46:40 ↗ little bit more of this context that has

1:46:43 ↗ been desired by committee members and

1:46:48 ↗ and I'll say others and that is

1:46:53 ↗ typically how we would want to start a

1:46:54 ↗ policy discussion is to bring forward a

1:46:57 ↗ memo chose not to do that in this case

1:47:01 ↗ originally but upon further thinking

1:47:04 ↗ seems like that would be advantageous so

1:47:07 ↗ we're gonna sort of restart bring

1:47:09 ↗ forward a memo it will not be going to

1:47:10 ↗ the full council except by way of being

1:47:13 ↗ part of the landed Shore packet so I

1:47:16 ↗ just wanted to clarify that the next

1:47:17 ↗ stop is an ID memo presentation and

1:47:21 ↗ discussion that Landon Shore then

1:47:24 ↗ pending Landon shores discussion and

1:47:27 ↗ direction back to staff the number of

1:47:30 ↗ things could happen it could be that we

1:47:32 ↗ take the previous agenda bill which will

1:47:37 ↗ be postponed indefinitely which is just

1:47:40 ↗ our way of saying it kind of dies as a I

1:47:45 ↗ was returned to Council we could then

1:47:47 ↗ take that framework build a new agenda

1:47:51 ↗ bill it may absolutely resemble the

1:47:54 ↗ first one it may be different depending

1:47:56 ↗ on the committee's input and then we

1:47:59 ↗ would bring that agenda bill to counsel

1:48:02 ↗ counsel could have the opportunity to

1:48:04 ↗ either take action on it or refer it

1:48:06 ↗ back to Landon Shore again for

1:48:09 ↗ conversation before choosing to act on

1:48:12 ↗ it at a regular business meeting and

1:48:14 ↗ we'll seek that sort of direction as

1:48:16 ↗ well at the next Lam in short committee

1:48:17 ↗ meeting it's good thank you I appreciate

1:48:20 ↗ that

1:48:21 ↗ and

1:48:23 ↗ wasn't so much process of my interest it

1:48:26 ↗ was like I was like what were the issues

1:48:28 ↗ so because I think it's important issues

1:48:31 ↗ and I did want to I couldn't ask any of

1:48:34 ↗ the committee members what they

1:48:35 ↗ discussed so I thought I'd do it in this

1:48:38 ↗ form but I guess I'm gonna go back and

1:48:40 ↗ watch the video to get those details

1:48:43 ↗ councilmember hunt and then council

1:48:45 ↗ president Mertz well so firstly I just

1:48:47 ↗ wanted to say thank you to accounts to

1:48:48 ↗ Myra winter Stein because I sort of had

1:48:50 ↗ the same I had the same feeling as far

1:48:53 ↗ as how do I communicate about what why

1:48:57 ↗ it was canceled this last second touch

1:48:59 ↗ meeting so I appreciate the opportunity

1:49:03 ↗ to discuss it and I think one thing that

1:49:06 ↗ was important to me was that we

1:49:09 ↗ discussed in the in well so two things

1:49:12 ↗ firstly letters were sent out to all of

1:49:15 ↗ the property owners in this zone and so

1:49:19 ↗ that was done before the ad went to the

1:49:23 ↗ land and Shore and before council

1:49:25 ↗ considered the a B so that that part of

1:49:28 ↗ the process has been done and there's

1:49:30 ↗ also extensive comments back from the

1:49:32 ↗ community about how about that bill and

1:49:35 ↗ so that's all in the documentation of

1:49:37 ↗ that last packet for April so I think

1:49:42 ↗ whatever we do with this bill it's

1:49:43 ↗ important that we take into account all

1:49:45 ↗ of the public feedback that we got on

1:49:46 ↗ the initial bill and then the other

1:49:49 ↗ thing is that one of the questions that

1:49:51 ↗ came up was about how many parcels are

1:49:54 ↗ actually affected by this and in my

1:49:56 ↗ subsequent discussions it's not only the

1:49:58 ↗ parcels but it's how many how big they

1:50:00 ↗ are and how many you could divide them

1:50:02 ↗ up into and so the extent of the the

1:50:06 ↗ extent of what's possible under the

1:50:09 ↗ current zoning versus under the zoning

1:50:11 ↗ that is in the proposed change was not

1:50:13 ↗ clear in my opinions to the committee at

1:50:15 ↗ our last meeting and hopefully will be

1:50:17 ↗ clarified to a much greater degree when

1:50:19 ↗ this returns to us

1:50:23 ↗ mr. president Mertz just to put a little

1:50:26 ↗ bit more color to it I'll just quote

1:50:28 ↗ from the minutes from the meaty from the

1:50:31 ↗ meeting need more info about how we can

1:50:33 ↗ better address the concerns of the

1:50:34 ↗ sycamore neighborhood the committee

1:50:36 ↗ would also like to better understand the

1:50:38 ↗ specific concerns of the sycamore

1:50:40 ↗ neighborhood residents any other

1:50:45 ↗ comments on that one

1:50:47 ↗ any other good of the order I have a

1:50:50 ↗ couple of meeting updates May 13th the

1:50:54 ↗ council work session will be here at
