0:15 ↗ welcome everyone we have a full house

0:18 ↗ this evening I'd like to call the

0:20 ↗ mid-twentieth regular city council

0:22 ↗ meeting to order all of those that you

0:25 ↗ would that would like to join the

0:26 ↗ council myself this evening in the

0:28 ↗ pledge of allegiance please dance before

0:51 ↗ we move into our first special business

0:54 ↗ item I know a lot of you have attended

0:57 ↗ this evening because of the expectation

1:00 ↗ that there was going to be some

1:02 ↗ transportation projects on the agenda

1:03 ↗ this evening and council would be

1:04 ↗ talking about them and we know that City

1:06 ↗ Administrator moon talked about the

1:08 ↗ dates of the meetings where the council

1:10 ↗ will be discussing taking public comment

1:13 ↗ and voting on the transportation

1:14 ↗ projects because it's not on our agenda

1:16 ↗ for this evening City ministry demoon

1:19 ↗ sure the Capital Improvement Program or

1:24 ↗ what we refer to as the CIP is going to

1:27 ↗ be introduced at a City Council meeting

1:30 ↗ on June 10th at meaning I would

1:34 ↗ anticipate we provide a presentation

1:36 ↗ that gives an overview of the capital

1:39 ↗ improvement plan and talk at kind of

1:44 ↗ higher levels summarizing elements of

1:47 ↗ the plan then on June 24th the City

1:51 ↗ Council will have a second meeting to

1:53 ↗ hear about the capital improvement plan

1:55 ↗ and to have some conversation with each

1:59 ↗ other to deliberate and to pose

2:02 ↗ questions and get answers from staff

2:04 ↗ about those capital projects then on

2:08 ↗ July 1st the council will hold a public

2:12 ↗ hearing on the CIP and the more

2:16 ↗ anticipating council action on July 15th

2:20 ↗ and I'll just note that

2:24 ↗ in reviewing the capital improvement

2:26 ↗ plan and and making some decisions about

2:28 ↗ the capital improvement plan we

2:31 ↗ anticipate that'll kind of set the stage

2:34 ↗ for how future capital projects will be

2:37 ↗ implemented and how the light that

2:40 ↗ counts will likely attempt to secure the

2:43 ↗ funding for those projects and following

2:47 ↗ the CIP discussions we will then resume

2:51 ↗ any subsequent actions we need to take

2:53 ↗ with regard to the transportation

2:55 ↗ benefit district thank you

3:01 ↗ moving on to the first item on our

3:03 ↗ agenda this evening a special business

3:05 ↗ ID 0 4 4 6 community fund update and

3:09 ↗ tonight the council will be hearing a

3:11 ↗ presentation from staff providing an

3:13 ↗ informational update on the 2020

3:15 ↗ Community Fund program access and I'd

3:17 ↗ like to invite Development Officer arts

3:20 ↗ coordinator Amy Dukes to make the

3:21 ↗ presentation hi good evening council

3:31 ↗ members and Mehta mayor thank you for

3:32 ↗ having me this evening

3:33 ↗ I just wanted to give a very quick

3:35 ↗ overview of where we are with the

3:37 ↗ Community Fund and the city's support of

3:40 ↗ nonprofits through the mayor's office I

3:43 ↗ have up on the screen just the list of

3:46 ↗ what was supported this year for

3:48 ↗ reference in the two categories that I'm

3:51 ↗ going to talk about briefly so as you

3:54 ↗ probably know the Community Fund is our

3:57 ↗ competitive granting program for our

3:59 ↗ nonprofits that serve our community it

4:02 ↗ is meant to increase capacity for them

4:05 ↗ and often that is through programmatic

4:08 ↗ support and often through capital

4:11 ↗ projects and you may recall in January

4:15 ↗ the 2018 recipients came and gave you a

4:18 ↗ presentation of their outcomes of that

4:21 ↗ support so we are about to release the

4:25 ↗ application for 2020 funding and we have

4:29 ↗ not made substantial changes to the

4:31 ↗ application but we are making some

4:34 ↗ changes to the process a little bit and

4:37 ↗ provide more technical assistance to the

4:39 ↗ nonprofits we are also going to try to

4:44 ↗ give them better questions in the

4:47 ↗ applications so that they can provide

4:49 ↗ more clear answers of how they'll use

4:51 ↗ the funding to build their capacity and

4:54 ↗ then you will be seeing those

4:56 ↗ recommendations which will be created by

4:59 ↗ a community review panel again this year

5:02 ↗ and those will come to you through the

5:04 ↗ budgeting process for 2020 and then with

5:08 ↗ the nonprofit support through the

5:11 ↗ mayor's office and this year we are

5:13 ↗ going to work a little bit harder to get

5:15 ↗ their scopes created before the

5:17 ↗ budgeting process

5:18 ↗ so during budgeting we'll be able to

5:20 ↗ tell you exactly what is being funded

5:22 ↗ and that is actually a little bit

5:24 ↗ different way of doing it this year and

5:27 ↗ then also I just wanted to let you know

5:29 ↗ that we are mindful that we have a newly

5:31 ↗ adopted strategic plan and we want to

5:34 ↗ align these programs better with the

5:38 ↗ strategic plans goals and objectives and

5:40 ↗ we're going to be working hard on that

5:41 ↗ for 2021 it's probably going to take us

5:44 ↗ most of 2020 to really get that steered

5:48 ↗ in that direction so I can answer any

5:50 ↗ questions that you might have or talk a

5:55 ↗ little bit more if you what thank you

5:57 ↗ Amy

5:57 ↗ I question from councilmember hunt thank

6:01 ↗ you I wondered about your last statement

6:04 ↗ regarding how you will align with the

6:07 ↗ strategic plan and would like a little

6:10 ↗ bit more information about that great

6:12 ↗ well and to be honest because the plan

6:15 ↗ was just adopted recently we haven't

6:17 ↗ really done that work and we do need to

6:19 ↗ identify who on staff is really going to

6:21 ↗ focus on that it probably will be an

6:24 ↗ interdepartmental team working with the

6:26 ↗ mayor's office but just like all of the

6:30 ↗ departments are figuring out how to make

6:33 ↗ the connections to their work we're

6:35 ↗ going to do that with our funding

6:37 ↗ programs and I imagine that the other

6:39 ↗ competitive funding programs the arts

6:41 ↗ program and the Human Services will do

6:42 ↗ that as well just to better match up

6:45 ↗ what we're hoping to achieve with what

6:48 ↗ the goals and objectives of the plan or

6:50 ↗ hope

6:50 ↗ to achieve we also know that there are

6:53 ↗ some gaps in our funding that we fund

6:55 ↗ lots of Human Services and organizations

6:57 ↗ and arts organizations but there are

6:59 ↗ elements within the strategic plan that

7:00 ↗ talk about environmental issues for

7:02 ↗ instance and this might be a program

7:05 ↗ that can better address some of those

7:07 ↗ needs other questions

7:12 ↗ it looks like that's it thank you very

7:15 ↗ much ace for having me

7:19 ↗ next item on the agenda this evening is

7:21 ↗ audience comments this is the time that

7:25 ↗ audience members can address their

7:26 ↗ council the guidelines for public

7:29 ↗ participation will be shortly displayed

7:31 ↗ up on the screen please limit your

7:33 ↗ comments to five minutes there was a

7:36 ↗ sign-up sheet

7:37 ↗ tisha yes so there was a sign-up sheet

7:39 ↗ and if you we will call the names on the

7:42 ↗ sign-up sheet first if you did not sign

7:44 ↗ up I will still ask for other speakers

7:46 ↗ before closing that portion of the

7:48 ↗ meeting and if you are here as part of a

7:51 ↗ group or a spokesman for a group please

7:53 ↗ identify that when you introduce

7:54 ↗ yourself and for those in the audience

7:57 ↗ that are listening to the speakers

7:59 ↗ addressing council this evening if you

8:01 ↗ are hearing comments and concerns that

8:03 ↗ you strongly support please raise your

8:05 ↗ hand so the council is aware of the

8:07 ↗ amount of support that's here in the

8:09 ↗ audience with us this evening tisha has

8:12 ↗ anyone signed up to speak this evening

8:16 ↗ yes Susan Forbes followed by Mitch Reid

8:20 ↗ Thank You Susan

8:27 ↗ I don't mean I don't remember how much

8:34 ↗ information I need to tell you about

8:36 ↗ myself

8:37 ↗ this you name and address is great okay

8:39 ↗ I can do that

8:40 ↗ Susan Forbes for 3:07 Providence Point

8:43 ↗ Place southeast I live in Providence

8:46 ↗ point I want to make sure that the City

8:57 ↗ Council members are aware of the reality

9:00 ↗ of crossing over 43rd way from forest

9:03 ↗ village to go down the hill toward the

9:05 ↗ rotary as you sit at the exit you have

9:10 ↗ to be aware of three basic things first

9:16 ↗ of all the oncoming traffic traveling up

9:20 ↗ the hill second traffic that is waiting

9:24 ↗ to enter forest village coming down the

9:26 ↗ hill and lastly the thoroughfare traffic

9:32 ↗ traveling down the hill to East Lake

9:33 ↗ Sammamish Parkway so that's at least

9:38 ↗ three different situations that you have

9:42 ↗ to kind of figure out when is it going

9:44 ↗ to be safe this is a lot to consider and

9:49 ↗ judge when you might only have a few

9:51 ↗ seconds to make a hopefully safe

9:53 ↗ decision there is a waiting space for

9:57 ↗ those of us who dare remain stationary

10:00 ↗ in the middle of the road while we wait

10:02 ↗ for an opening to enter the fire lane of

10:04 ↗ the through traffic and somebody told me

10:08 ↗ once it was called suicide

10:11 ↗ relaying or something like that

10:13 ↗ I don't think I made that up I'm not I'm

10:16 ↗ not quite that but anyway and I also AM

10:19 ↗ up with the understanding and it's not

10:21 ↗ any fact that I've heard but I

10:23 ↗ understand that that particular Lane

10:25 ↗ where you're supposed to wait as the

10:28 ↗ oncoming traffic is flying down the hill

10:33 ↗ and it's narrow by a foot or something

10:36 ↗ like that so if that's true that would

10:39 ↗ be awesome if that could be widened as a

10:48 ↗ matter of fact I talked with a woman

10:51 ↗ this afternoon who was in an accident in

10:54 ↗ this Lane and was hit by a car and she's

10:59 ↗ here it was not a serious accident

11:03 ↗ therefore not a serious injury she she

11:07 ↗ was her her right hand mirror was hit by

11:11 ↗ a car coming down the road and there

11:17 ↗ were no injuries

11:19 ↗ the lady who hit her coming down the

11:21 ↗ road her mirror was hanging down and I'm

11:25 ↗ not sure what what shaped Mary's was in

11:27 ↗ him but I'm sure it wasn't in great very

11:28 ↗ great shape and I celebrate that it

11:32 ↗ wasn't a serious injury because of if

11:36 ↗ the woman was just about four inches

11:38 ↗ closer to Mary it could have been a very

11:40 ↗ serious accident and they really do fly

11:43 ↗ down that road not everybody but you

11:47 ↗ know they passed the 35 a mile an hour

11:49 ↗ sign and then it's like okay well I'm

11:51 ↗ free and then they just they just go

11:54 ↗ down fast I want to also make sure that

11:58 ↗ the City Council is aware of another

12:00 ↗ problem for us and I'm coming

12:03 ↗ specifically from traveling out of

12:05 ↗ Forest Village I've been noticing that

12:11 ↗ it's hard for me to judge how much time

12:15 ↗ I have from where I look down the road

12:20 ↗ towards Providence Ridge and I see the

12:24 ↗ cars so

12:26 ↗ it's hard for me to judge how much time

12:29 ↗ I have when that car is going to be

12:33 ↗ close to me it's if you're looking down

12:36 ↗ the hill and for my depth precession

12:38 ↗ perception or whatever it is it's very

12:40 ↗ hard and there have been a couple of

12:44 ↗ times where I thought I had all plenty

12:46 ↗ of time and I didn't the car was really

12:49 ↗ on almost on top of me before before I

12:52 ↗ really knew it so in my imagination

12:59 ↗ which I do have a pretty good one I

13:02 ↗ imagine that I really wanted to try to

13:05 ↗ know the difference in at the amount of

13:08 ↗ time I have with different speeds so I

13:12 ↗ called my friend Carol Eldridge and we

13:14 ↗ did a little survey it's I can't go to

13:18 ↗ court with it because it's just us in my

13:20 ↗ and my myself my cell phone but what we

13:24 ↗ did is we drove down 43rd way went

13:29 ↗ around the rotary and came up and I

13:31 ↗ tried to keep my car at coming up the

13:35 ↗ hill at 40 miles an hour 45 miles an

13:38 ↗ hour 50 oh that's my Menace you know

13:41 ↗ Susan if you want to take a little bit

13:44 ↗ of time just to wrap up that would great

13:45 ↗ it'd be great but I'd also if you've

13:47 ↗ brought anything in writing and you want

13:49 ↗ to leave it with the clerk all the

13:50 ↗ counsel will get a copy of it as well

13:52 ↗ okay yeah so at 40 miles an hour

13:58 ↗ we started timing at Providence Ridge

14:01 ↗ and then we stopped timing and we got to

14:04 ↗ forest village entry 40 miles an hour

14:08 ↗ 16.8 seconds it took 45 miles an hour

14:12 ↗ 13.6 850 miles an hour eleven point nine

14:16 ↗ five and fifty five miles an hour ten

14:19 ↗ point four five so there's close to a

14:22 ↗ six seconds

14:26 ↗ difference man 42:55 and that is a lot

14:34 ↗ of time that we might need to get over

14:37 ↗ to the other side and be safe or get

14:40 ↗ into the middle in kiss Susan oh thank

14:46 ↗ you so I beg you for for all of us and

14:50 ↗ certainly for myself that finding the

14:53 ↗ money thank you thank you do you want to

14:57 ↗ leave your notes with the clerk okay

14:59 ↗ that's great I'm right over here with

15:01 ↗ Titian she'll make sure the council gets

15:03 ↗ copy of it as well all right

15:04 ↗ Emily thank you next we have Madrid

15:09 ↗ followed by Don Miller if you are second

15:12 ↗ up on the list please start making your

15:15 ↗ way to the podium please if you haven't

15:18 ↗ provided public comments before there is

15:20 ↗ a little light signal that we keep up on

15:22 ↗ the podium with you it starts out as

15:25 ↗ green when you're talking and when

15:27 ↗ you're getting close to the end of the

15:28 ↗ five minutes it goes yellow and at the

15:30 ↗ end it goes red so that's just to cue

15:32 ↗ you if you need some assistance Mitch go

15:34 ↗ ahead thank you madam mayor and members

15:36 ↗ of the council and pleased to address

15:39 ↗ you

15:39 ↗ Mitchell Reed I live in Providence Point

15:42 ↗ and have done so for about the past six

15:45 ↗ years I'll try not to take up too much

15:48 ↗ time one of the finest evenings of my

15:51 ↗ life was having my 16 year old daughter

15:54 ↗ I'd rather 19 year old daughter at the

15:57 ↗ time meet with my friend who was then a

16:01 ↗ hundred and one years old my 19 year old

16:04 ↗ had never met anybody who would be

16:06 ↗ considered old by her standards and over

16:10 ↗ a hundred that night turned out to be a

16:12 ↗ great experience for my daughter

16:14 ↗ probably not for my neighbor but she is

16:18 ↗ a wonderful lady who I have the pleasure

16:21 ↗ of knowing and visiting with many times

16:24 ↗ a week but I almost did not have that

16:28 ↗ pleasure because she was driving south

16:30 ↗ on 43rd rather north I get confused too

16:35 ↗ easily on the north

16:37 ↗ when she attempted to make a left-hand

16:40 ↗ turn and she made the turn a young lady

16:44 ↗ who was 17 years old driving south

16:48 ↗ inadvertently hit the accelerator rather

16:52 ↗ than the gas the steamboating her car

16:56 ↗ she broke her leg she broke her arm the

16:59 ↗ car was totaled and she spent three

17:02 ↗ months in a rehabilitation facility on

17:07 ↗ August 4th she will celebrate one

17:09 ↗ hundred and third birthday and I do hope

17:14 ↗ I can motivate the council to send her a

17:16 ↗ birthday card she is probably the second

17:21 ↗ oldest resident at Providence Point she

17:24 ↗ plays bridge gets around like a champ

17:27 ↗ and he's probably spotted at than I am

17:30 ↗ but maybe that's not too difficult

17:33 ↗ anyway I urge you to build that traffic

17:38 ↗ light and I'd like to say now although I

17:42 ↗ know capital improvements are very

17:45 ↗ important but sometimes we have to step

17:48 ↗ out of our routine and look at the

17:50 ↗ actual human issue by the time our

17:54 ↗ community enlightens you as to the

17:57 ↗ statistics that we've gathered if you're

18:00 ↗ not sleeping you probably will be

18:03 ↗ because there are too many cars going

18:06 ↗ too fast and as you all know the school

18:09 ↗ district is about to build a high school

18:11 ↗ with an elementary school adjacent to

18:14 ↗ our property so I asked knowing that you

18:17 ↗ have a capital improvement project and

18:20 ↗ understanding that timetable if you

18:23 ↗ would be kind enough to relook at that

18:27 ↗ issue and address it outside of the

18:30 ↗ timetable we need that light we need it

18:34 ↗ now

18:35 ↗ it is an urgent matter of public safety

18:39 ↗ thank you very much thank you Mitch John

18:49 ↗ good evening

18:50 ↗ my name is Don Miller I'm from

18:52 ↗ Providence Point live in forest village

18:55 ↗ okay

18:57 ↗ we've seniors here from Providence Point

19:01 ↗ are of the generation that tried to do

19:04 ↗ right things in our professional and

19:07 ↗ business career we certainly made

19:09 ↗ mistakes but to the degree that we won

19:12 ↗ the Cold War we feel we did at least

19:15 ↗ something right our country was made

19:18 ↗ safe now it's your turn to do something

19:22 ↗ right to make a safe intersection at

19:25 ↗ southeast 43rd way and Providence Point

19:29 ↗ last Monday night the city administrator

19:32 ↗ presented decisions which you need to

19:35 ↗ make these decisions impact the traffic

19:38 ↗ light on South East 43rd way you can

19:41 ↗ either kick the can down the road or not

19:44 ↗ and make then approve that project now

19:48 ↗ we've all been taught that we should

19:51 ↗ collect all the information we need

19:53 ↗ before making a decision

19:55 ↗ I'm here to tell you you never will

19:58 ↗ there will always be ambiguity some may

20:03 ↗ worry about the future economy but the

20:06 ↗ time has come after 12 years of delay to

20:09 ↗ have courage and make the right decision

20:12 ↗ now there is no better time than now the

20:18 ↗ cost of money is low the cost of delay

20:21 ↗ is high construction costs only continue

20:24 ↗ to go up design work has been completed

20:27 ↗ statistics have been collected you have

20:30 ↗ heard or will heard how the traffic

20:33 ↗ southeast 43rd way is high and the trend

20:36 ↗ line is only going up it is a dangerous

20:40 ↗ in increasingly difficult for Forest

20:43 ↗ Village residents to cross

20:44 ↗ essentially a four-lane highway where

20:47 ↗ traffic races up the hill at speeds

20:50 ↗ often exceeding 55 miles an hour the

20:54 ↗ reason for that race is we're two lanes

20:56 ↗ going up the hill but shortly afterwards

20:58 ↗ it converges to one lane who's going to

21:01 ↗ be first and get ahead into that single

21:03 ↗ lane the situation reminds me of a

21:07 ↗ variation of the school levy slogan if

21:09 ↗ you think education is expensive try

21:12 ↗ ignorance in our case if you think

21:16 ↗ safety is expensive try an accident to

21:19 ↗ that end you need to know the Providence

21:21 ↗ Point has retained an attorney as an old

21:25 ↗ duffer I can tell you there are ghosts

21:28 ↗ some might call these regrets either way

21:31 ↗ they haunt you our military has used the

21:35 ↗ phrase don't let one man see another's

21:38 ↗ ghost for lack of training for you I

21:41 ↗ pray don't let yourself see another

21:43 ↗ person's ghost for the lack of a traffic

21:46 ↗ signal at province point now is the time

21:50 ↗ to provide the seniors at Providence

21:52 ↗ point safe access to and from

21:55 ↗ forty-third way you have the power the

21:58 ↗ financial capacity the design thus

22:01 ↗ justice statistics judging the need the

22:05 ↗ rational arguments and the personal

22:08 ↗ stories of seniors who have been injured

22:10 ↗ or traumatized I'd like to believe that

22:13 ↗ now since we seniors have passed the

22:16 ↗ leadership mantle to you that you will

22:19 ↗ make the right decision for the safety

22:21 ↗ of the seniors in your community

22:23 ↗ approved the traffic light on 45th way

22:27 ↗ now party third way

22:29 ↗ thank you done this is there anyone else

22:32 ↗ that has signed up this evening yes Ron

22:35 ↗ Inhofe and Eadie petroi

22:47 ↗ hello my name is Ronnie M HOF I'm not

22:50 ↗ gonna get you to get a little bear you

22:52 ↗ sorry hello my name is Rodney I'm Hough

22:54 ↗ I have lived in the Providence Point

22:56 ↗ neighborhood for one year so I don't

22:58 ↗ have the same long history as others in

23:01 ↗ the neighborhood what I and others do

23:04 ↗ have is a need to be able to cross

23:06 ↗ forty-third way to be able to to walk

23:09 ↗ from one side of Providence point to the

23:13 ↗ other walking not driving right now so

23:17 ↗ difficult to cross that most don't dry I

23:20 ↗ have walked across several times in the

23:22 ↗ last year but I feel like I must run

23:25 ↗ across till before the next speeding car

23:28 ↗ comes up or down the hill last week I

23:31 ↗ met with some others for evening meeting

23:34 ↗ and because the amount of traffic I

23:38 ↗ drove so I wouldn't get run over

23:41 ↗ crossing the street if I'd wanted to

23:43 ↗ cross had a marked crosswalk I would

23:46 ↗ have had to walk two miles the nearest

23:48 ↗ crosswalk is either a mile up or a mile

23:51 ↗ down the street that's not a good way to

23:54 ↗ visit neighbors so if this like wha

23:58 ↗ truly is a safe walkable City and a

24:01 ↗ place where we can live work and play it

24:04 ↗ wouldn't be so difficult to cross 43rd

24:06 ↗ at Providence point so you need to fund

24:10 ↗ the traffic light now thank you thank

24:13 ↗ you Ron ed hello my name is Ed Peter Oh

24:21 ↗ I live in forest Village in Providence

24:23 ↗ point I'm going to talk briefly about

24:27 ↗ southeast 43rd way and southeast

24:31 ↗ Issaquah Fall City Road to and from Lake

24:36 ↗ Sammamish Parkway how they are like

24:39 ↗ number one they both carry over 21,000

24:43 ↗ vehicles per day

24:46 ↗ that's based on your numbers that's the

24:49 ↗ total number in both directions Monday

24:52 ↗ through Friday and that's a very large

24:55 ↗ number of cars and trucks per day

24:59 ↗ 43rd way carries ninety percent of the

25:03 ↗ number of vehicles that southeast

25:05 ↗ Issaquah fall city road carries how they

25:09 ↗ different one southeast fall city road

25:13 ↗ has not one but two traffic lights with

25:16 ↗ clearly marked crosswalks within one

25:18 ↗ mile of turning onto it from East Lake

25:20 ↗ Sammamish Parkway this not only allows

25:24 ↗ pedestrians to cross the road but also

25:27 ↗ keeps the average speeds down and it

25:31 ↗ serves as a traffic calming function

25:33 ↗ that enhances safety southeast 43rd way

25:37 ↗ has no traffic signals or lights second

25:42 ↗ southeast fall southeast

25:45 ↗ it's a qua fall city road appears to be

25:47 ↗ twice the width of southeast 43rd way it

25:50 ↗ has two traffic lanes up to the

25:53 ↗ Sammamish plateau and two down and they

25:57 ↗ also have clearly marked turning lanes

25:59 ↗ on both sides or in the center three

26:03 ↗ with no traffic lights on southeast 43rd

26:05 ↗ way the forty mile per hour speed limit

26:08 ↗ means that the average speeds are closer

26:10 ↗ to 50 to 55 miles per hour

26:12 ↗ cars will race up the plateau past the

26:16 ↗ main entrance of Providence point in

26:17 ↗ forest village because the two lanes

26:20 ↗ emerged and nobody wants to be second in

26:22 ↗ life when a person is driving downhill

26:26 ↗ on southeast 43rd way toward East Lake

26:29 ↗ Sammamish Parkway and need needs to make

26:32 ↗ a left turn into forest village there's

26:34 ↗ a 10-foot parcel of ground that a person

26:38 ↗ needs to stop their car in if they go

26:40 ↗ too far they go into oncoming traffic if

26:43 ↗ they don't go far enough they block

26:45 ↗ traffic and get rear-ended money.the

26:49 ↗ Issaquah finance director addressed us

26:51 ↗ on may 13th and she was correct the good

26:54 ↗ times are now interest rates are very

26:56 ↗ low

26:57 ↗ stock market interest rates move in

27:00 ↗ cycles and money is cheap the time to do

27:03 ↗ the traffic light is now lastly I'll

27:07 ↗ address values recently the City Council

27:09 ↗ issued guiding principles that were

27:12 ↗ signed by the mayor and the council it

27:14 ↗ outlined the principles that they were

27:16 ↗ going to follow in Issaquah and it forms

27:18 ↗ a contract with its residents here are

27:20 ↗ two of the these principles one safety

27:24 ↗ and our Issaquah community is paramount

27:27 ↗ second equity insuring that it's akua's

27:31 ↗ services are accessible to all i do not

27:35 ↗ see how the counts are going to valuate

27:37 ↗ southeast 43rd way is being safe council

27:41 ↗ certainly is not treating the citizens

27:43 ↗ who might be over 55 the same as ones or

27:47 ↗ not in the nearly 2 mile stretch between

27:50 ↗ East Lake Sammamish Parkway traffic

27:54 ↗ circle and the middle school in

27:56 ↗ Sammamish Near East it's a QWOP ilayk

27:58 ↗ road there is not one traffic calming

28:02 ↗ device on South East 43rd way not one in

28:07 ↗ conclusion getting the southeast 43rd

28:10 ↗ light done now ensure safety and equity

28:13 ↗ and fulfills councils guiding principles

28:17 ↗ thank you for your time and attention in

28:21 ↗ this matter

28:21 ↗ Thank You ed looking I look up here and

28:28 ↗ I see hands in the air there we go there

28:29 ↗ are a lot of hands in the audience

28:30 ↗ supporting the comments tisha who else

28:32 ↗ is on our signup list

28:34 ↗ Ernest wolf followed by Nia Nia Lorenson

28:54 ↗ I'm just turning my hearing aid off

28:57 ↗ because you may be able to hear me a

29:00 ↗ little better

29:01 ↗ my name is Ernest Wolfe

29:04 ↗ I live in Provence Point Paris village

29:09 ↗ I've been there about five and a half

29:11 ↗ years you've seen my face here before

29:14 ↗ and many of you were involved with the

29:17 ↗ effort to pass a bond that would have

29:21 ↗ paid for the traffic light several years

29:23 ↗ ago I was a poster boy for the printed

29:31 ↗ handout created by Kathy Allen of the

29:34 ↗ Connexions group that many of you have

29:37 ↗ seen before in several of you whereas

29:40 ↗ individuals on the campaign committee

29:43 ↗ that made a strong effort to get the

29:46 ↗ bond passed it did by 54% so a majority

29:52 ↗ of our citizens approved our traffic

29:55 ↗ light if that doesn't give you some

29:58 ↗ direction I don't know what will you

30:02 ↗ have an issue on tonight's agenda that

30:04 ↗ affects province point you are wrong in

30:07 ↗ thinking that a transportation benefit

30:10 ↗ district tax increase with prop 1 as

30:13 ↗ recommended by your staff should take

30:16 ↗ care of the city's commitment to us for

30:20 ↗ traffic light 13 plus years ago when

30:24 ↗ that light was part of your campaign to

30:27 ↗ keep province point from becoming part

30:29 ↗ of Sammamish that was their choice at

30:32 ↗ the time during that recent bond

30:35 ↗ campaign Bob Rock someone you likely all

30:39 ↗ know your former public works

30:42 ↗ engineering director and countered me

30:45 ↗ posting promotional signs supporting the

30:49 ↗ bond subsequently I received a long

30:52 ↗ email from Bob telling me that we would

30:56 ↗ be wrong to vote for the bond since we

30:59 ↗ already had a commitment for the traffic

31:02 ↗ light at the time of the annexation vote

31:05 ↗ Bob might be here tonight to tell you

31:08 ↗ this himself except for health reasons

31:11 ↗ unfortunately he knows this well since

31:16 ↗ it must have been Bob who worked with a

31:19 ↗ civil engineer resident in Provence

31:22 ↗ point still living there to create the

31:26 ↗ plans that evolved into the multi page

31:31 ↗ designed by petit engineering in

31:34 ↗ February 2007 you have long had counsel

31:41 ↗ Manik bond firing capacity to pay for

31:45 ↗ the traffic light project but have

31:47 ↗ chosen to ignore that the traffic data

31:51 ↗ obtained from you dates back to 2017 so

31:58 ↗ it's two years old the way Sammamish has

32:00 ↗ been developing those numbers can

32:03 ↗ certainly be expected to be higher and

32:07 ↗ you heard those numbers from Edie and

32:11 ↗ consider that you have two totally

32:13 ↗ different roads with practically the

32:18 ↗ same traffic that's what we face in

32:21 ↗ province point with insuk well for City

32:25 ↗ Road about to be closed because of their

32:30 ↗ bridge reconstruction Southwest self our

32:35 ↗ self East 43rd way traffic can certainly

32:39 ↗ be expected to increase further your

32:43 ↗ staff has been more aware of all of this

32:45 ↗ and we have continued to be totally

32:49 ↗ ignored for practical purpose practical

32:53 ↗ purposes it's impossible to define them

32:56 ↗ this history is anything but major

32:59 ↗ neglect Jim that's for your benefit the

33:04 ↗ radar speed detectors on our Road

33:07 ↗ confirm that we have very frequent

33:09 ↗ vehicle speeds up to 55 miles now and

33:13 ↗ beyond if you came to this meeting

33:16 ↗ tonight on your bicycle

33:19 ↗ would you dare to travel that way across

33:22 ↗ southeast 43rd between our villages and

33:26 ↗ I know we have some cyclists here our

33:30 ↗ patience has worn thin we are focused on

33:33 ↗ driving meaningful outcomes for our

33:36 ↗ community we have a strong neighborhood

33:39 ↗ that demands a safe neighborhood and our

33:43 ↗ most recent umbrella board meeting the

33:45 ↗ hiring of an attorney to address this

33:48 ↗ matter was approved and I imagine you

33:50 ↗ will soon hear from him depending on

33:53 ↗ what the council chooses to do next the

33:58 ↗ attorney has very common that in quotes

34:01 ↗ this project has been postponed for many

34:05 ↗ years and commencing of construction

34:08 ↗ should not be delayed any further hope

34:12 ↗ today's discussions may be helpful as a

34:15 ↗ CIP issues are discussed on the June 5

34:19 ↗ meeting and beyond and we're looking

34:22 ↗ forward to the jury public hearing

34:24 ↗ hopefully we'll get good news and I'd

34:27 ↗ like to share these with your secretary

34:31 ↗ Thank You Ernie Nyonya and lots of hands

34:38 ↗ in the air for Ernie's comments good

34:46 ↗ evening my name is neo Melanson and I am

34:49 ↗ the current president of forest village

34:54 ↗ that's okay honey the residents of

34:58 ↗ Providence Point are 55 and over that's

35:02 ↗ a fact some still work many volunteer in

35:07 ↗ places in Issaquah and the surrounding

35:09 ↗ areas

35:10 ↗ we vote we pay our taxes we move to

35:15 ↗ Providence Point because of its beauty

35:18 ↗ its location and because it was a safe

35:22 ↗ gated community in 2003 we annex to

35:27 ↗ Issaquah and I am quoting here from

35:30 ↗ Ernie

35:32 ↗ little face that says we Providence

35:38 ↗ point was annexed in 2003 to the city of

35:41 ↗ Issaquah with a promise underlined to

35:45 ↗ improve road conditions for both

35:48 ↗ motorists and pedestrians that was 16

35:53 ↗ years ago 12 years ago we began to make

35:58 ↗ requests for a traffic light on 43rd in

36:01 ↗ Providence point place 12 years ago and

36:05 ↗ here we stand tonight still asking for

36:09 ↗ that traffic light there are many

36:13 ↗ activities at Providence Point most are

36:16 ↗ on the north side of 43rd and some are

36:19 ↗ on the south side all residents must

36:22 ↗ cross 43rd to participate in these

36:26 ↗ activities most Drive but to my

36:30 ↗ amazement some walk some walked across

36:34 ↗ 43rd where there is no crosswalk or even

36:39 ↗ a watch for pedestrian side only a

36:43 ↗ traffic light can improve both vehicle

36:45 ↗ safety and allow pedestrians to cross

36:47 ↗ without endangering their lives

36:51 ↗ endangering their lives over the past

36:55 ↗ years traffic on 43rd or interstate 43rd

36:59 ↗ as it is often called by our residents

37:02 ↗ now has increased dramatically speeds

37:06 ↗ well exceed the posted limits

37:08 ↗ I have watched that posted 35 speed

37:12 ↗ limit sign coming up 43rd and seen it

37:15 ↗ flash from 45 to 55 to 60 continuously

37:21 ↗ from mid afternoon to evening and the

37:24 ↗ same scenario is true coming down to

37:27 ↗ 28th where Forest Village residents need

37:31 ↗ to turn left to get into their village I

37:34 ↗ would question how many of you deal with

37:38 ↗ speeds of 45 or more to enter or exit

37:42 ↗ your community

37:45 ↗ we know that you have options we know

37:49 ↗ there is some money available at this

37:52 ↗ time

37:53 ↗ we know you have borrowing privileges we

37:57 ↗ know also that this project will not

38:00 ↗ ever become less expensive we also know

38:05 ↗ that you don't like to hear the same

38:06 ↗ information over and over and over so

38:11 ↗ unless you want to see us again unless

38:14 ↗ you want to repeat of all of this great

38:17 ↗ information and all of these statistics

38:20 ↗ do the right thing

38:22 ↗ do the safe thing be the City Council

38:26 ↗ that finally fixes this dangerous even

38:29 ↗ life-threatening intersection at 43rd

38:32 ↗ and Providence Point Place we implore

38:36 ↗ you to proceed and fund this light and

38:39 ↗ do it now thank you for listening and

38:43 ↗ thank you for your service to the city

38:45 ↗ citizens of Issaquah thank you lots of

38:49 ↗ hands in the air

38:50 ↗ this show do we have some more speakers

38:51 ↗ signed up yes Muriel Peterson followed

38:55 ↗ by Leslie pops first of all I'd like to

39:06 ↗ give a shout-out to the ahsoka police I

39:08 ↗ make cookies for them regularly two of

39:12 ↗ their officers I'm really fond of Oh

39:14 ↗ I'm Muriel Petersen I live in forest

39:17 ↗ village for Percy row six I don't think

39:20 ↗ we have to give all that I've lived

39:24 ↗ there I moved from Sammamish where I

39:26 ↗ bought a house in 1989 I went through

39:32 ↗ the whole drill of us becoming I always

39:39 ↗ knew I'd moved to Providence point I've

39:42 ↗ been there 11 years going on 12 and I

39:48 ↗ know from attending meetings in

39:52 ↗ Sammamish

39:53 ↗ that Sammamish wanted Providence point

39:58 ↗ would they have had their light probably

40:01 ↗ by now but we elected to go and I was

40:07 ↗ not him I didn't live there then I lived

40:09 ↗ in Sammamish with Issaquah because they

40:16 ↗ promised the traffic light and that's

40:20 ↗ why they voted Providence point to go

40:23 ↗ with the city of Issaquah anyway thank

40:27 ↗ you very much

40:28 ↗ I'm leaving Thank You Muriel Leslie hi

40:40 ↗ my name is Leslie pops

40:41 ↗ I live at 506 Sky Country Way in

40:43 ↗ Issaquah and my mom moved to Providence

40:45 ↗ Point two years ago and I was excited to

40:48 ↗ tell her that oh there's going to be a

40:50 ↗ stoplight put in there don't worry about

40:53 ↗ it's gonna be great and now I now I'm

40:56 ↗ nervous that it's not even gonna happen

40:58 ↗ and I'm sad and embarrassed to say that

41:02 ↗ until my mom moved to Providence point I

41:04 ↗ was one of the speeders up the hill it's

41:08 ↗ just so easy to speed that that hill

41:11 ↗ both up and down and now that I'm aware

41:14 ↗ that she lives there and I go visit her

41:16 ↗ all the time it's pretty eye-opening how

41:21 ↗ horrible that road is so so I just

41:25 ↗ encourage you to to really consider it

41:27 ↗ as part of the budget thank you thank

41:29 ↗ you we've a turtle followed by Hart

41:33 ↗ Sugarman

41:40 ↗ Eva that is our will go to heart and

41:45 ↗ we'll come back to Riva if she's still

41:47 ↗ here

41:52 ↗ good evening mayor and council members

41:54 ↗ my name is Hart Sugarman I live at 255 0

41:57 ↗ Northwest Oak Crest Drive and I've been

42:00 ↗ a resident of Summer Hill Community in

42:02 ↗ Issaquah for 23 years I stood at the

42:06 ↗ podium here in November 13th 2017 to

42:10 ↗ address my concerns about the

42:11 ↗ intersection of Newport Way and Oak

42:13 ↗ Crest Drive at that time I thank the

42:16 ↗ city and staff for hosting and

42:18 ↗ conducting the various Newport way

42:20 ↗ corridor workshops in the transportation

42:24 ↗ capital requests project tr02 to Newport

42:29 ↗ way from say Road 900 to South East 54th

42:33 ↗ improvements address the corridor in the

42:38 ↗ 2015 pedestrian crossing study and was

42:41 ↗ also discussed in the central Issaquah

42:42 ↗ plan it now looks like this project is

42:45 ↗ getting pushed back to a completion date

42:48 ↗ towards 2028 this is very disappointing

42:52 ↗ with the construction of the Riva

42:54 ↗ townhomes which is now underway at our

42:56 ↗ intersection of Newport Way in Oak Crest

42:58 ↗ Drive and Reva Lane it'll be built out

43:00 ↗ by the developer that intersection this

43:04 ↗ calls for the widening of Newports way

43:06 ↗ to three lanes with center left turn

43:08 ↗ lanes as I mentioned back in 2017 the

43:12 ↗ city has now created a four-way

43:14 ↗ intersection there are 19 intersections

43:18 ↗ along Newports way this will be the

43:20 ↗ first and only intersection without a

43:23 ↗ traffic signal we are already

43:26 ↗ experiencing the challenges of putting

43:28 ↗ in the roadway Reva Lane directly

43:31 ↗ opposite Oh Crest Drive especially

43:33 ↗ during the certain times a day when

43:35 ↗ there's constant flow of traffic as

43:37 ↗ vehicles try to exit from either side

43:40 ↗ they must first wait for that break in

43:42 ↗ traffic on Newports way then who goes

43:45 ↗ first vehicles facing each other try to

43:48 ↗ exit simultaneously it's just an

43:51 ↗ accident waiting

43:52 ↗ happen we've seen a lot of growth and

43:55 ↗ development in our immediate area along

43:57 ↗ Newport Way Anthology Apartments has

43:59 ↗ added four hundred units under

44:01 ↗ construction now is the Revel this is

44:04 ↗ across senior apartments which is one

44:06 ↗ hundred and forty six units and under

44:08 ↗ construction is the Riva townhomes 36

44:10 ↗ units the grand total 582 new units by

44:16 ↗ comparison if we add up our current

44:18 ↗ existing homes in the vicinity

44:20 ↗ Summerhill has 55 Spyglass Hill has 60

44:24 ↗ units Sammamish Point 132 units Bentley

44:27 ↗ house has 47 units pine cone Terre

44:30 ↗ Highlands has 78 homes plus there's two

44:33 ↗ single-family homes at two three one

44:36 ↗ five and two three zero zero Newports

44:39 ↗ way so we add that up the current

44:41 ↗ residence 374 so now this area is going

44:45 ↗ to grow from 374 to 950 six units within

44:49 ↗ this very year 2019 that's over two

44:54 ↗ hundred and fifty percent additional

44:56 ↗ growth as the increased number of

44:59 ↗ vehicles adds more traffic volumes to

45:01 ↗ Newports way it becomes increasingly

45:03 ↗ more difficult to exit our subdivision

45:05 ↗ now that we see the success of this

45:08 ↗ roundabout on Maple Street at Trader

45:11 ↗ Joe's and target I would like to propose

45:13 ↗ this type of roundabout at our

45:15 ↗ intersection I believe our intersection

45:18 ↗ can accommodate this roundabout there

45:21 ↗ are a number of positive benefits to

45:23 ↗ having a roundabout it reduces the

45:25 ↗ speeding vehicles along Newports way

45:27 ↗ creating a calming effect it allows

45:30 ↗ residents to safely exit Summer Hill and

45:32 ↗ Reva townhomes and integrate into the

45:34 ↗ traffic flow there's no need for a

45:37 ↗ four-way stop sign and there's no need

45:39 ↗ for traffic light it allows pedestrians

45:41 ↗ to cross the two lanes of traffic

45:43 ↗ instead of three lanes it also provides

45:46 ↗ the pedestrians a safe refuge island

45:49 ↗ between the travel lanes it also

45:52 ↗ eliminates the sight line challenges

45:54 ↗ when we egress from Summer Hill and it

45:57 ↗ also eliminates the sight line

45:58 ↗ challenges from people aggressing from

46:00 ↗ Reva townhomes

46:01 ↗ it eliminates the potential for a

46:04 ↗ head-on collision so please give us your

46:06 ↗ consideration thank you very much thank

46:09 ↗ you Harden if you wouldn't mind leaving

46:10 ↗ the letter that would be great

46:12 ↗ is there anyone else signed up yes the

46:16 ↗ last speaker signed up is Joe Verner and

46:41 ↗ good evening mayor and city council my

46:44 ↗ name is Joe Verner I live at one two

46:46 ↗ three zero oak wood place Northwest in

46:49 ↗ the Summer Hill subdivision I only have

46:53 ↗ two items to comment on this evening

46:54 ↗ first one is a bit of housekeeping at

46:58 ↗ the May 6th City Council meeting after

47:04 ↗ discussing the aaaa Creek culvert

47:08 ↗ redesign the council members had their

47:13 ↗ own little sidebars but for the softer

47:19 ↗ voices and not bending over to the

47:22 ↗ microphone the audience had difficulties

47:25 ↗ hearing and I'll give you just one

47:29 ↗ example this is not criticism it's just

47:32 ↗ observation when Stacey when you were

47:35 ↗ talking we couldn't hear you well we

47:40 ↗ could hear tone but we couldn't

47:43 ↗ understand words so we walked out of the

47:47 ↗ meeting saying what's with Stacey

47:49 ↗ she says that summer hill is on the

47:53 ↗ attack but what you actually said was

47:57 ↗ summer Hill has been under attack for

48:00 ↗ years with the traffic and the

48:03 ↗ development on Newport Way speak closer

48:08 ↗ to the microphone and my recommendation

48:15 ↗ put the traffic light at Providence

48:19 ↗ point soon thank you

48:22 ↗ thank you lots of hands in the air

48:26 ↗ I'm just gonna check and see if Riva is

48:28 ↗ here I did see her earlier she was on

48:30 ↗ the signup list not seeing her at this

48:34 ↗ point in time if there's anyone else in

48:36 ↗ the audience that would like to address

48:37 ↗ counsel please come forward and identify

48:40 ↗ yourself at the microphone I see one

48:42 ↗ person coming up

49:03 ↗ good evening mayor councilmembers thank

49:07 ↗ you for having us here this evening here

49:09 ↗ so nice to see so many Providence point

49:11 ↗ people here I am sandy here

49:14 ↗ I live at 40 101 100 and excuse me

49:18 ↗ two hundred and twentieth place out the

49:20 ↗ east in Providence Point and I've been a

49:22 ↗ resident there for almost four years I

49:24 ↗ come to you with a different message

49:27 ↗ than the others might you would like to

49:29 ↗ see the traffic light there for the

49:31 ↗ reasons that have already been expressed

49:32 ↗ so I won't bore you with those details

49:34 ↗ but ironically I come here because I

49:39 ↗ merged the two opinions that have been

49:41 ↗ expressed about Providence point and

49:43 ↗ about Newport Way in 2015 I was involved

49:52 ↗ in a traffic accident that killed a

49:54 ↗ four-year-old little boy on Newport Way

49:56 ↗ some of you may have been on the council

49:58 ↗ at that point in time it happened

50:02 ↗ because the traffic excuse me it wasn't

50:04 ↗ a traffic signal the pedestrian signal

50:08 ↗ at that intersection was very poorly

50:11 ↗ designed and I couldn't see it because

50:13 ↗ of the glare of the Sun at that point in

50:15 ↗ time

50:18 ↗ two years later we went to a civil trial

50:21 ↗ the city of Issaquah and I were both

50:25 ↗ defendants in that trial brought by the

50:27 ↗ parents of that little boy I won't go

50:30 ↗ into all of the details because I don't

50:32 ↗ know the city of Issaquah had a privacy

50:36 ↗ agreement or whatever legal terms are

50:39 ↗ for that but the city Visser Hall had to

50:43 ↗ pay a very large sum of money to the

50:45 ↗ family because the design of the sign

50:50 ↗ was not adequate or whatever the terms

50:54 ↗ were used in that point in time I'm

50:58 ↗ sorry it still gets to me I still suffer

51:01 ↗ PSD as a result and I've never driven

51:03 ↗ down that road since then so it's

51:05 ↗ unusual to me to hear that there's all

51:08 ↗ of this building going on on that street

51:10 ↗ now but there's a lot of building going

51:15 ↗ on around

51:15 ↗ point now as well I don't see the roads

51:18 ↗ getting any wider but I see a lot more

51:20 ↗ traffic obviously a lot more people

51:23 ↗ backing up in traffic and I see a lot of

51:26 ↗ speeding that has never stopped in the

51:28 ↗ four and a half years that I have lived

51:29 ↗ a Providence point my point is I don't

51:34 ↗ want to see you all have to pay out an

51:36 ↗ hour another large judgment for another

51:38 ↗ accident and another place close to

51:40 ↗ where I live

51:42 ↗ if there is the money and I hear that

51:45 ↗ there is if this is the time and I hear

51:48 ↗ that now there is now is the time to put

51:51 ↗ in that traffic signal so another person

51:54 ↗ doesn't have to die whether it be a

51:56 ↗ young child or an older person like

51:58 ↗ myself if you have the means to do it

52:01 ↗ now please seriously consider doing so a

52:04 ↗ traffic signal it's a lot better than

52:07 ↗ going to the funeral thank you for your

52:10 ↗ time Thank You sandy lots of hands in

52:14 ↗ the air is there anyone else that would

52:16 ↗ like to address council this evening

52:18 ↗ mine forward to the microphone name and

52:21 ↗ address that would be great

52:37 ↗ my name is Beverly Nichols and I also

52:41 ↗ live in Providence Point and I just want

52:45 ↗ to add to what Mitch Reid said earlier

52:49 ↗ his friend is also my friend we all live

52:53 ↗ in the same building and the accident

52:57 ↗ happened several years ago she wasn't a

52:59 ↗ hundred and one when the accident

53:01 ↗ happened but her car did roll over

53:07 ↗ it was t-boned so hard and it was a

53:11 ↗ terrible accident like he said the car

53:15 ↗ was totaled and she had broken bones and

53:17 ↗ was in rehab for several months and

53:20 ↗ everything and every day there's a

53:24 ↗ possibility of something like that

53:26 ↗ happening again

53:28 ↗ and I really implore you to put the

53:33 ↗ traffic light in that you promised so

53:37 ↗ many years ago thank you

53:40 ↗ Thank You Bev heads in the air is there

53:43 ↗ anyone else would like to address the

53:45 ↗ council assuming come on forward sir

53:57 ↗ jack'll us live in Providence points for

54:01 ↗ spillage looking around here I would

54:06 ↗ guess that 80% or so of the people here

54:10 ↗ are old enough to be your parents of

54:14 ↗ every one of you

54:16 ↗ grandparents somebody said so would you

54:20 ↗ like to have your parent or grandparent

54:23 ↗ drive across from Forest Village to the

54:26 ↗ other side of Providence Point with the

54:29 ↗ traffic up and down

54:30 ↗ worse yet would you like them to try

54:32 ↗ walking across that's it thank you thank

54:38 ↗ you

54:38 ↗ is there anyone else would like to speak

54:40 ↗ seeming con for it sir

54:55 ↗ good evening mayor members of the

54:57 ↗ council and thank you for giving us this

55:00 ↗ time to express our concerns my name is

55:03 ↗ Dan Sweeney and I also live in

55:06 ↗ Providence Point in the forest Village

55:07 ↗ area and I won't repeat all the the

55:10 ↗ cogent and pertinent comments that my

55:12 ↗ fellow residents have made about the

55:15 ↗ need for this traffic light and the need

55:17 ↗ to keep the promises that the city has

55:19 ↗ made over the years but I'll just add

55:22 ↗ that while this is an issue of concern

55:24 ↗ for the safety and well-being of the

55:26 ↗ residents of Providence Point it is not

55:29 ↗ just out of our own concern that we're

55:31 ↗ requesting that this promise be kept

55:33 ↗ there are thousands of residents of

55:37 ↗ Issaquah that drive southeast 43rd way

55:40 ↗ every day there are hundreds perhaps

55:43 ↗ thousands of children who go on that

55:47 ↗ road every day there are at least dozens

55:51 ↗ of new drivers who are driving on this

55:55 ↗ road where the speed limits are often

55:57 ↗ exceeded and the driving attention is

56:00 ↗ often less than it should be so we're

56:02 ↗ and then you add folks like us whose

56:06 ↗ vision is not as good as it used to be

56:08 ↗ whose timing is not as good as it used

56:11 ↗ to be who are frequently driving on 43rd

56:14 ↗ way or crossing from one side of

56:16 ↗ Providence point to another

56:18 ↗ this creates a danger not only to the

56:21 ↗ community who lives there and the

56:23 ↗ communities that are being built below

56:24 ↗ and above and the schools that are being

56:26 ↗ built but to all the residents who drive

56:29 ↗ the road regularly so we ask for the

56:31 ↗ sake of all of those citizens who reside

56:34 ↗ in Issaquah and who pay taxes here that

56:38 ↗ this be funded now thank you thank you

56:41 ↗ Dan lots of support lots of hands raised

56:44 ↗ is there anyone else who would like to

56:45 ↗ address Council this evening is Reva

56:51 ↗ back in the building

56:52 ↗ Cal asked a second time is there anyone

56:55 ↗ else who would like to address council

56:57 ↗ during audience comments and a third

57:00 ↗ okay thank you all for coming in and

57:03 ↗ thank you for the comments the majority

57:04 ↗ of them tonight were about southeast

57:06 ↗ 43rd line

57:08 ↗ as the city administrator had said there

57:13 ↗ is not a decision tonight that the

57:15 ↗ council will be taking on this project

57:17 ↗ but it is good that you all came and you

57:20 ↗ all gave your information and your facts

57:22 ↗ so that council could hear it and it's

57:23 ↗ on camera and it's recorded so thank you

57:25 ↗ very much for that moving off of

57:28 ↗ audience comments we'll start with

57:30 ↗ committee and regional reports and we'll

57:32 ↗ start with councilmember Walsh thank you

57:34 ↗ I have no report at this time Thank You

57:37 ↗ councilmember hunt thank you madam mayor

57:39 ↗ I have three regional reports this

57:42 ↗ evening on May 8th I attended the King

57:45 ↗ conservation advisory committee meeting

57:47 ↗ in this meeting we finalized our letter

57:50 ↗ from the king conservation advisory

57:52 ↗ committee to the King Conservation

57:54 ↗ District Board of Supervisors regarding

57:57 ↗ our advice on their proposed rate

57:59 ↗ increase the advisory committee was

58:03 ↗ generally supportive of the work that

58:05 ↗ the King conservation district does and

58:07 ↗ we also had a number of recommendations

58:11 ↗ regarding clarity as far as what they

58:13 ↗ put forward in the proposal what work

58:15 ↗ will be funded by the proposed rate

58:18 ↗ increase specifically and then what

58:20 ↗ could also be funded by additional

58:22 ↗ funding if they do acquire additional

58:24 ↗ funding from grants and this also

58:27 ↗ reflects some of the feedback that we

58:29 ↗ heard at the pick the public issues

58:32 ↗ committee by sound sound cities

58:35 ↗ Association the next meeting of the King

58:39 ↗ Conservation District advisory committee

58:57 ↗ recovery council connected with the

58:58 ↗ number of officials in the state

58:59 ↗ legislature to give our point of view on

59:02 ↗ the salmon particularly the salmon

59:05 ↗ habitat issues that were at the

59:07 ↗ legislature and the state legislatures

59:10 ↗ capital budget did reflect increasing

59:12 ↗ funding for the Puget Sound acquisition

59:15 ↗ and restoration program including the

59:19 ↗ River Bend flat

59:20 ↗ playing restoration project on the Cedar

59:22 ↗ River and that was extremely important

59:24 ↗ for salmon recovery so we were very

59:27 ↗ happy with that oak outcome and the Y

59:30 ↗ rates and recovery council wrote a

59:31 ↗ letter to the legislature to thank them

59:33 ↗ and then we also discussed the 2020 y

59:36 ↗ rate budget and work plan and the

59:40 ↗ funding recommendations regarding

59:43 ↗ different science and research that

59:45 ↗ should be funded to support salmon

1:00:02 ↗ why were eighth and this was interesting

1:00:04 ↗ because they do flood floodplain

1:00:07 ↗ management work and we talked about how

1:00:09 ↗ that might align with habitat

1:00:11 ↗ restoration work in the future and how

1:00:14 ↗ yr8 might work with the floodplain

1:00:16 ↗ management folks and then we also talked

1:00:33 ↗ restoration project where they're

1:00:36 ↗ restoring habitats that for a long time

1:00:38 ↗ was grazed the next meeting of the

1:00:58 ↗ we'll be using a new or a newly approved

1:01:03 ↗ herbicide called prosp'rous alecour and

1:01:06 ↗ this is less expensive and for water

1:01:09 ↗ management and for milfoil to treat

1:01:12 ↗ milfoil for water quality on the Lake

1:01:15 ↗ Tapps Reservoir and we also discussed

1:01:21 ↗ contract negotiations the July 2013

1:01:25 ↗ block contracts with Seattle Public

1:01:27 ↗ Utilities provides that either party can

1:01:31 ↗ request consideration of an expense

1:01:32 ↗ and so cascade intends to begin

1:01:35 ↗ discussion with the seattle public

1:01:37 ↗ utilities in the near future so that

1:01:40 ↗ they can start discussing that and that

1:01:42 ↗ the decision can be included in cascades

1:10:54 ↗ a b7 287 City Council rules of procedure

1:10:58 ↗ this item came before council at the

1:11:01 ↗ February first special council meeting

1:11:03 ↗ and at the March 11th council work

1:11:05 ↗ session following the staff presentation

1:11:08 ↗ this evening council will have the

1:11:09 ↗ option to adopt the rules or provide

1:11:11 ↗ specific direction on the remaining

1:11:13 ↗ areas of focus and next steps so our

1:11:16 ↗ city clerk Tina Eggers will make a

1:11:17 ↗ presentation hi thank you just give me a

1:11:23 ↗ moment here to pull this up all right

1:11:27 ↗ yes thank you and I wanted to thank our

1:11:29 ↗ deputy city clerk tisha Geezer for her

1:11:32 ↗ work on these draft rules a lot of time

1:11:34 ↗ and energy went into drafting them and

1:11:36 ↗ thank you

1:11:38 ↗ yes we're excited to be back in front of

1:11:40 ↗ you we were here earlier this year and

1:11:44 ↗ the goal at that time was to incorporate

1:11:47 ↗ the outcomes into the draft rules and to

1:11:50 ↗ return to a regular council meeting for

1:11:52 ↗ adoption these rules this is a slide

1:11:55 ↗ you've seen before but this the rules

1:11:58 ↗ kind of demonstrates the hierarchy or

1:12:01 ↗ where they fall into other rules or

1:12:03 ↗ other Authority and the intent is that

1:12:08 ↗ the rules document your processes

1:12:11 ↗ provide specificity but still allowing

1:12:15 ↗ flexibility clarifies processes and

1:12:19 ↗ serves as a resource this slide is to

1:12:24 ↗ demonstrate the chapters or sections

1:12:26 ↗ that are built into the rules of

1:12:29 ↗ procedure it's a starting point

1:12:34 ↗ and it's today's or the curtain point of

1:12:36 ↗ time it's not necessarily to include

1:12:40 ↗ everything in every detail again to

1:12:43 ↗ provide some flexibility and can of

1:12:46 ↗ course be revisited and amended such

1:12:49 ↗ will be returning in August with further

1:12:52 ↗ amendments for your consideration as we

1:12:56 ↗ move through this study session model

1:12:59 ↗ and while we're not delving into a study

1:13:04 ↗ session transition this is a timeline

1:13:06 ↗ that you've seen previous and a memo and

1:13:09 ↗ just wanted to show that we would be

1:13:13 ↗ bringing some informational updates to

1:13:15 ↗ you in July and bringing additional

1:13:18 ↗ amendments to you in August so the rules

1:13:21 ↗ of procedure are drafted they're

1:13:24 ↗ attached to the exhibit of the

1:13:27 ↗ resolution that's in your packet and

1:13:31 ↗ what we'd like to do is bring this back

1:13:34 ↗ to your deliberation find out if you

1:13:38 ↗ have questions if there's clarity that

1:13:40 ↗ you're seeking or any areas that need

1:13:43 ↗ focus Thank You Tina

1:13:46 ↗ you do know that there are at least a

1:13:48 ↗ couple of council members who have

1:13:50 ↗ listed some items so my suggestion would

1:13:53 ↗ be that we maybe get all of those out on

1:13:55 ↗ the table and the group can look at

1:13:59 ↗ those and decide if you believe that

1:14:01 ↗ there's possibility of talking those

1:14:04 ↗ through tonight and moving to adoption

1:14:05 ↗ weekend if you want to take a different

1:14:07 ↗ path we can take a different path as

1:14:09 ↗ well so maybe I'll start with

1:14:11 ↗ councilmember Rey and then move to

1:14:12 ↗ councilmember winter saying I just have

1:14:16 ↗ a couple of clarifications and first

1:14:19 ↗ Tina what's the urgency on this given

1:14:21 ↗ that you're going to be back in a short

1:14:23 ↗ couple of months to amend this to

1:14:27 ↗ incorporate the trial of the work study

1:14:30 ↗ or this weren't in a study session model

1:14:32 ↗ simply just trying to move this forward

1:14:35 ↗ that's been on the work plan for some

1:14:37 ↗ time and this met the deadline of when

1:14:41 ↗ we last spoke with Council

1:14:45 ↗ okay thanks do you want to list any of

1:14:49 ↗ their artists okay counsel Myra winter

1:14:52 ↗ Stein do you have anything you wanted to

1:14:54 ↗ put on the table there's a number I

1:14:58 ↗ don't have them in priority order okay

1:15:00 ↗ so I'm kind of like tried to distill

1:15:03 ↗ some of this and I and I unfortunately

1:15:07 ↗ think I missed the earlier opportunity

1:15:09 ↗ perhaps at work session when you discuss

1:15:10 ↗ some of these so this is gonna might

1:15:14 ↗ feel a little bit like work session and

1:15:16 ↗ this is my first opportunity to have

1:15:18 ↗ someone's conversations and no surprises

1:15:19 ↗ team and I like to the number one thing

1:15:24 ↗ I wanted to address was section 4.15

1:15:29 ↗ regular business paragraph B procedure I

1:15:35 ↗ can read it to you Tina it's it's about

1:15:37 ↗ regular business subparagraph a defines

1:15:41 ↗ what regular business is paragraph B

1:15:43 ↗ subparagraph B talks about the procedure

1:15:48 ↗ and and it's it's it's there numerated

1:15:52 ↗ steps beneath that introduced the prison

1:15:54 ↗ introduction by presiding officer

1:15:56 ↗ presentation by city staff such as you

1:15:58 ↗ just did council questions is number

1:16:01 ↗ three counsel motion is number four and

1:16:03 ↗ then five is discussion and possible

1:16:05 ↗ action and I believe that in the last

1:16:10 ↗ probably three to four years this

1:16:15 ↗ council has gotten a little bit more

1:16:17 ↗ rigorous with this give me your

1:16:20 ↗ questions than emotion and then kind of

1:16:22 ↗ following this I wanted to put out there

1:16:25 ↗ I was I've never been comfortable with

1:16:29 ↗ that structure and I think there needs

1:16:33 ↗ to be a little bit more leeway and and

1:16:35 ↗ for example the idea of maybe not

1:16:40 ↗ questions not following the motion or

1:16:43 ↗ maybe I'm actually going through all

1:16:47 ↗ these questions before a motion is made

1:16:48 ↗ I just think there should be some

1:16:50 ↗ flexibility in this process and part of

1:16:53 ↗ it for me personally is that it's not

1:16:55 ↗ uncommon for me to be up here and and

1:16:58 ↗ haven't made my decision yet I'm still

1:16:59 ↗ thinking I'm hearing input from others

1:17:03 ↗ by asking questions and making comments

1:17:06 ↗ you know I'm learning and digesting the

1:17:09 ↗ entire topic so I think there is quite a

1:17:11 ↗ bit of I think there is some variety and

1:17:17 ↗ nuance of how each council member

1:17:18 ↗ decision-making and thought processes

1:17:20 ↗ work so I just I wanted to have a

1:17:23 ↗ conversation about this because I know

1:17:25 ↗ we often do this okay questions okay is

1:17:28 ↗ there a motion okay now discussion and I

1:17:31 ↗ think for me personally that doesn't

1:17:33 ↗ always facilitate the process of

1:17:36 ↗ actually fully discerning and making a

1:17:39 ↗ decision on a matter did you have a

1:17:42 ↗ suggestion of how you would want to

1:17:44 ↗ reword it or did you just want discuss

1:17:48 ↗ so I'm curious

1:17:49 ↗ so it's numbered and it's sequential and

1:17:52 ↗ you know madam mayor I know that you

1:17:55 ↗ often follow this and it's been there's

1:17:59 ↗ been many times where it doesn't work

1:18:02 ↗ for me

1:18:02 ↗ and I just I was hoping to have a

1:18:04 ↗ conversation that's why I said this

1:18:05 ↗ might feel like a work session not like

1:18:07 ↗ regular business being so that was one

1:18:09 ↗ of them and we can we don't have to

1:18:10 ↗ discuss it any further and then allow

1:18:13 ↗ you as a group to decide what you want

1:18:15 ↗ to do with it okay um I wanted to

1:18:23 ↗ address word out 12 subparagraph C and I

1:18:30 ↗ was one of the reviewers tonight we have

1:18:33 ↗ to address this even that paragraph the

1:18:35 ↗ last sentence in paragraph C says does

1:18:38 ↗ it seem reasonable that the city has

1:18:39 ↗ expended this for this purpose and for

1:18:42 ↗ this amount I'm gonna be really honest

1:18:44 ↗ with you I don't think the council

1:18:46 ↗ really this is kind of a comment about

1:18:47 ↗ that report as well I don't really think

1:18:50 ↗ we have the kind of the right

1:18:51 ↗ information formatted properly or even

1:18:53 ↗ legible to really fulfill what that asks

1:18:56 ↗ I think it's nearly impossible to do

1:18:58 ↗ that

1:18:58 ↗ that's the sidebar comment but if we put

1:19:01 ↗ one other thing in this paragraph I mean

1:19:03 ↗ so that's a comment I think for

1:19:04 ↗ follow-up it's a different issue but I

1:19:05 ↗ would add also this paragraph something

1:19:07 ↗ I think it's very important that we also

1:19:10 ↗ add a note that we should verify that

1:19:13 ↗ the finance directors that test

1:19:15 ↗ attestation at the beginning of this

1:19:17 ↗ report that's a very key element that I

1:19:20 ↗ look for and so it goes beyond just

1:19:23 ↗ looking at trying to understand each of

1:19:26 ↗ the lines in that report

1:19:31 ↗ [Music]

1:19:41 ↗ in three oats I'm I'm going up 309

1:19:45 ↗ Council and staff interactions and your

1:19:50 ↗ guidelines number two so number one says

1:19:56 ↗ it's 3:09

1:20:03 ↗ number one says council council I'm

1:20:12 ↗ sorry the first part of the paragraph

1:20:14 ↗ I'm sorry the first part number two says

1:20:15 ↗ council policy makers and staff as

1:20:22 ↗ administering the policies and you know

1:20:24 ↗ it's kind of a language thing but I just

1:20:26 ↗ thought that that self staff pretty

1:20:28 ↗ short because it feels that one

1:20:31 ↗ basically says we make the policy you

1:20:33 ↗ administer the policy and there's some

1:20:35 ↗ truth to that

1:20:36 ↗ but I think it falls pretty fall short

1:20:39 ↗ of a lot of the interactions that we

1:20:40 ↗ have because staff are subject matter

1:20:42 ↗ experts and and and they consult us to

1:20:46 ↗ us as council member on a range of

1:20:49 ↗ topics so I just thought that the way

1:20:51 ↗ that that one was stated it didn't fully

1:20:56 ↗ illuminate really what the relationship

1:20:59 ↗ is it's more than just carrying out the

1:21:00 ↗ policies

1:21:09 ↗ now I want you to I was tempted to add

1:21:11 ↗ one in therefore to suggest one for

1:21:15 ↗ council president and deputy president

1:21:17 ↗ but guys might not be interested in this

1:21:20 ↗ one I think we just have a rule that the

1:21:22 ↗ council president you know makes a

1:21:24 ↗ motion to approve consent and the deputy

1:21:25 ↗ president makes that so it's written

1:21:27 ↗ somewhere we seem to follow that we did

1:21:31 ↗ it again tonight there one of the things

1:21:35 ↗ I found Tina threw out here and I have a

1:21:37 ↗ number of I won't cite them all to you

1:21:40 ↗ right now there's a there's three

1:21:41 ↗ different areas where it talks about

1:21:43 ↗ agenda and I think in the especially the

1:21:49 ↗ part where the president works with

1:21:51 ↗ administration and the mayor on setting

1:21:54 ↗ the agenda and preparing the agenda and

1:21:57 ↗ then I think we lose some of the

1:22:00 ↗ language that with some of that intent

1:22:02 ↗ is lost later on I can get you the

1:22:04 ↗ details where I found that Tina and then

1:22:07 ↗ it goes back to kind of agenda and

1:22:09 ↗ setting it some of those the original

1:22:12 ↗ details kind of come back into these so

1:22:14 ↗ there's some inconsistency in that area

1:22:16 ↗ I think the intent is that I think in

1:22:19 ↗ the one in the middle it basically says

1:22:21 ↗ Senate eadministrator will set the

1:22:23 ↗ agenda but I know what really happens

1:22:25 ↗ and for the intent of the other ones

1:22:27 ↗ it's what happens in leadership and the

1:22:29 ↗ president is part of that but that

1:22:31 ↗ middle section drops that intent and and

1:22:39 ↗ I have and so I have some mother and

1:22:42 ↗ some of this might you just want to

1:22:43 ↗ consider it the like housecleaning I

1:22:45 ↗ think the in the appointments section so

1:22:47 ↗ I've come up to 204 now I I appreciate

1:22:54 ↗ the effort that went in here I think

1:22:56 ↗ it's clearer than it was before and I

1:22:58 ↗ think there is but if you didn't know

1:23:00 ↗ that the optional seats a lot of times

1:23:03 ↗ that they have to come early because

1:23:06 ↗ right at some it says right there and be

1:23:10 ↗ that in January that's when we'll find

1:23:12 ↗ out what you're interested in but that

1:23:15 ↗ in B but in as it says in one in

1:23:18 ↗ paragraph a

1:23:21 ↗ to some of them the regional or optional

1:23:25 ↗ ones there is a different schedule and I

1:23:27 ↗ think that kind of gets lost in here the

1:23:31 ↗ rest of the whole section just talks

1:23:33 ↗ about the appointments that the mayor

1:23:36 ↗ and the president make when in fact

1:23:38 ↗ there's a significant role of the mayor

1:23:41 ↗ and the president and the clerk involved

1:23:43 ↗ with just kind of facilitating an

1:23:46 ↗ application that a councilmember may

1:23:48 ↗ make to a regional one rather than

1:23:49 ↗ making the appointment itself

1:24:12 ↗ I'm going back through my notes

1:24:36 ↗ oh and then probably one last

1:24:39 ↗ significant one in 4.14 and this has

1:24:47 ↗ actually come up before subparagraph B

1:24:49 ↗ deals with this so this is quasi

1:24:51 ↗ judicial decisions and appeal

1:24:52 ↗ subparagraph P in that leaving paragraph

1:24:57 ↗ the second the last sentence talks about

1:25:00 ↗ the phrase in there talks about the all

1:25:07 ↗ documents and exhibits that have been

1:25:09 ↗ submitted and I remember a case where

1:25:13 ↗ some of the submitted material had

1:25:16 ↗ references or links to other documents

1:25:18 ↗ and we had a conversation of whether or

1:25:20 ↗ not they were in the record or not and I

1:25:24 ↗ think it'd be good to get clarification

1:25:25 ↗ and these of whether or not they are

1:25:27 ↗ part of the record and we talked about

1:25:30 ↗ it then some of you might remember that

1:25:32 ↗ conversation I don't really remember the

1:25:34 ↗ outcome but I know that that was a

1:25:36 ↗ question in front of the counsel whether

1:25:38 ↗ or not referenced or linked documents in

1:25:41 ↗ the record were also considered part of

1:25:43 ↗ the record and therefore should be

1:25:45 ↗ provided or not to counsel I think it

1:25:49 ↗ was made available made available right

1:25:54 ↗ so I just that's not addressed here it

1:25:56 ↗ just says if they're if they've been

1:25:59 ↗ submitted and I was just wondering if

1:26:02 ↗ this should address documents that have

1:26:05 ↗ been referenced

1:26:21 ↗ and you know and I have some smaller one

1:26:24 ↗ I'm sorry these are kind of in random

1:26:25 ↗ order or down in 4.20 it's you know we

1:26:31 ↗ have this is a small until in

1:26:36 ↗ recognition it says raise your hand but

1:26:38 ↗ when we sit it like counsel work

1:26:39 ↗ sessions we we have all learned to kind

1:26:41 ↗ of turn our mic on to indicate that

1:26:43 ↗ we've got a question and I think there's

1:26:47 ↗ just started multiple ways in which we

1:26:48 ↗ try to alert the presider that we have

1:26:51 ↗ something we want to speak about and

1:26:53 ↗ it's not just raising the hands

1:27:04 ↗ and then in 4.2 six which deals with

1:27:08 ↗ rules of conduct I think there's a

1:27:10 ↗ really good chap paragraph in there

1:27:12 ↗ it's a 426 a three general paragraph

1:27:18 ↗ subparagraph three council members shall

1:27:20 ↗ limit the use of electronic

1:27:21 ↗ communications during meetings in order

1:27:23 ↗ to ensure that they remain engaged with

1:27:25 ↗ the public and with each other in the in

1:27:27 ↗ the conduct of business and it goes and

1:27:30 ↗ there's a little bit more in there yeah

1:27:32 ↗ thank you and I think I think that's a

1:27:34 ↗ really good point but at the same time

1:27:38 ↗ [Music]

1:27:40 ↗ maybe there should be some clarification

1:27:42 ↗ and air about just kind of the use of

1:27:45 ↗ computers during it so for example I all

1:27:47 ↗ my materials are electronic and all my

1:27:49 ↗ notes are electronic so I'm still using

1:27:51 ↗ my electronics during the meeting and I

1:27:55 ↗ think that this makes a really good

1:27:58 ↗ point about the MIS potential property

1:28:01 ↗ or the proper use of electronic

1:28:02 ↗ communications but I don't I wouldn't

1:28:06 ↗ want that to be maybe misunderstood to

1:28:09 ↗ be use of any electronics during the

1:28:11 ↗ meeting since I think it would be as a

1:28:13 ↗ general for a general rule of conduct at

1:28:17 ↗ you know obviously the use of our our

1:28:18 ↗ computers is should be allowed yeah that

1:28:23 ↗ wasn't the intent to prohibit use of

1:28:26 ↗ defined it doesn't prohibit it you're

1:28:28 ↗ like you said I just thought it just

1:28:29 ↗ seemed like a nice complimentary one to

1:28:31 ↗ add and under the general section just

1:28:33 ↗ so it would be clear

1:28:50 ↗ okay though that was the thanks for your

1:28:54 ↗ patience and listening as I go through

1:28:55 ↗ so I I think the first one that I

1:28:59 ↗ mentioned which had a real order in

1:29:01 ↗ questions motion discussion is the one I

1:29:06 ↗ feel strongest about and I don't know

1:29:09 ↗ and I don't know if it's represented in

1:29:12 ↗ these rules in the way that I think it

1:29:14 ↗ ought to be but I that would be the one

1:29:16 ↗ I like to hear more input from my

1:29:18 ↗ colleagues about so that's it I have a

1:29:24 ↗ few other there's a few there

1:29:26 ↗ Scrivener errors really small ones but I

1:29:29 ↗ can get them to you okay so thank you I

1:29:35 ↗ think I caught about eight of the some

1:29:39 ↗ more higher priority and requiring

1:29:40 ↗ discussion others not kinds of memory

1:29:43 ↗ from your question I got the sense that

1:29:46 ↗ maybe we're there on timing of how to do

1:29:50 ↗ this or discuss that you may have some

1:29:52 ↗ thoughts

1:29:52 ↗ well there's there seems to be a sense

1:29:54 ↗ of urgency to push forward with this and

1:29:56 ↗ since we're gonna revisit this again

1:29:58 ↗ later this summer I'm of the mind that

1:30:02 ↗ we can push forward with this and get it

1:30:04 ↗ off the work plan and then if there are

1:30:06 ↗ other items we need to address we can

1:30:07 ↗ reopen it when we are reopening it for

1:30:09 ↗ subsequent business I make sure I

1:30:12 ↗ understand you you're saying move

1:30:16 ↗ meaning vote tonight to accept and then

1:30:19 ↗ update it in the fall or - that was my

1:30:22 ↗ okay that's what you're suggesting so

1:30:25 ↗ what I'd like to do is make sure we hear

1:30:27 ↗ from all the other council members

1:30:28 ↗ you're a body of seven we've heard from

1:30:31 ↗ - so Lily would like to know where your

1:30:34 ↗ thoughts are councilmember hunt I had

1:30:40 ↗ thoughts on the part about the work

1:30:44 ↗ session and then the committees so that

1:30:48 ↗ is 5.01 and 6.01

1:30:52 ↗ and basically my my

1:30:59 ↗ concerned I think is around the the

1:31:03 ↗ timing because currently both of these

1:31:05 ↗ have this they have a footnote that

1:31:08 ↗ these sections are anticipated to be

1:31:11 ↗ removed but I think it's potentially

1:31:13 ↗ more than that we're gonna have a

1:31:14 ↗ discussion about how they might be

1:31:17 ↗ changed and how these so so it looks

1:31:21 ↗ right now right now it looks like those

1:31:22 ↗ sections will be removed but there's not

1:31:25 ↗ information about what they will replace

1:31:27 ↗ and it's a bit strange I think to have

1:31:30 ↗ it just say that this is going to be

1:31:32 ↗ removed and then not have information

1:31:35 ↗ about about what it will be replacing

1:31:38 ↗ and I think that we have to have those

1:31:40 ↗ conversations but because of the timing

1:31:42 ↗ of doing this now when we're going to

1:31:44 ↗ have later conversations about

1:31:45 ↗ transitioning to a study session I think

1:31:47 ↗ it makes it awkward I have those but

1:31:50 ↗ notes so that's that's a comment and I

1:31:53 ↗ think if we were to work through these

1:31:57 ↗ sections later when we have that when we

1:32:02 ↗ after we've had those conversations

1:32:03 ↗ about how the work sessions will work in

1:32:06 ↗ terms of the items that currently go to

1:32:07 ↗ committee if we are transitioning to a

1:32:09 ↗ work session how that how those are

1:32:11 ↗ chaired how those items are going

1:32:14 ↗ through this different process then I

1:32:17 ↗ think we could have a document that

1:32:19 ↗ would be more meaningful going forward

1:32:23 ↗ for how we would structure that and then

1:32:25 ↗ I also I also on the issue that council

1:32:31 ↗ member winter sign brought up regarding

1:32:33 ↗ the review of the Finance document the

1:32:40 ↗ I'm not sure which section that is but

1:32:42 ↗ within that section I think it would

1:32:44 ↗ also be good to have some a statement

1:32:47 ↗ about what the expectation is for what

1:32:50 ↗ you do with that question so right now

1:32:53 ↗ it says you ask a question does it seem

1:32:55 ↗ reasonable and then it says you know

1:32:57 ↗ that you attest that you reviewed it but

1:32:59 ↗ I think there's some more guidance there

1:33:01 ↗ as far as if you have a question and you

1:33:03 ↗ what do you do with that question you

1:33:06 ↗ ask the city clerk or you ask the

1:33:09 ↗ finance director

1:33:10 ↗ so I would just like to put that forward

1:33:12 ↗ about what a little bit more guidance on

1:33:16 ↗ that one that's it great and

1:33:18 ↗ councilmember Walsh teach of your hand

1:33:20 ↗ up no but I'm happy to talk at this time

1:33:26 ↗ generally I don't think I have a problem

1:33:29 ↗ with this to me it's more of a

1:33:33 ↗ clarifying compared to the 2010 council

1:33:38 ↗ resource manual which was very bulky I

1:33:41 ↗ appreciate that this is streamlined I

1:33:47 ↗ would like to know looking at that idea

1:33:51 ↗ of study sessions if the section 5 & 6

1:33:56 ↗ are going to be removed with that idea

1:34:01 ↗ or at least that's what's being proposed

1:34:03 ↗ here I assume that a section will be

1:34:08 ↗ added in there you discuss what the

1:34:11 ↗ study session rules of procedure are

1:34:13 ↗ correct and an ordinance would be

1:34:15 ↗ provided at that time as well to make

1:34:16 ↗ IMC adjustments which is why this was

1:34:20 ↗ considered phase 1 phase 2 to come back

1:34:23 ↗ with amendments and the actual ordinance

1:34:25 ↗ - to change the IMC in the timing of

1:34:28 ↗ that is in the fall well what we would

1:34:33 ↗ like to do is well we're already working

1:34:35 ↗ towards transitioning to study session

1:34:37 ↗ format that's the direction that we

1:34:39 ↗ received previous so there's quite a bit

1:34:41 ↗ of work to go into place to make that

1:34:43 ↗ happen

1:34:44 ↗ and so we would be back in front of

1:34:47 ↗ Council before September so we were

1:34:50 ↗ aiming for August's with some

1:34:52 ↗ informational updates in July as

1:34:57 ↗ president Mertz

1:34:58 ↗ so I think this is a great draft

1:35:02 ↗ document and I think it follows on

1:35:06 ↗ conversations that the council members

1:35:08 ↗ have had with each other and with the

1:35:09 ↗ administration

1:35:11 ↗ I think it has engendered a further

1:35:15 ↗ conversation and I think that we've

1:35:18 ↗ heard some tonight councilmember Ray's

1:35:20 ↗ being very quiet but he had a

1:35:22 ↗ number of points that he shared with

1:35:24 ↗ council offline everybody's seen those

1:35:28 ↗ and so I feel like personally I feel

1:35:36 ↗ like there's a I would like to see it

1:35:40 ↗ doing some sort of retreat to go through

1:35:42 ↗ this item by item I just feel like

1:35:44 ↗ there's a large enough list the this is

1:35:47 ↗ a great starting point I don't think

1:35:48 ↗ this is a fundamentally I mean this is a

1:35:50 ↗ this is a this has to me done exactly

1:35:52 ↗ what it should do it just which is put

1:35:54 ↗ something out there that we could have a

1:35:56 ↗ discussion about and and it has

1:35:58 ↗ engendered a bunch of conversation but I

1:35:59 ↗ I don't think tonight I don't think we

1:36:03 ↗ want to try to to to finish this

1:36:05 ↗ conversation tonight I think the

1:36:07 ↗ administration has has heard both from

1:36:10 ↗ us tonight in from councilmen Berets

1:36:11 ↗ written comments where the where the

1:36:14 ↗ points of discussion are and I'm

1:36:16 ↗ confident that with one off-site we

1:36:19 ↗ could we could get through that list and

1:36:21 ↗ and talk through it amongst ourselves

1:36:23 ↗ and I also think that the nature of

1:36:25 ↗ council duties ours are a little

1:36:27 ↗ different than other topics that we

1:36:29 ↗ cover as a council and I I found the

1:36:32 ↗ retreat process late this winter to be

1:36:35 ↗ helpful in being away from the dais I

1:36:37 ↗ normally love being up here I love the

1:36:40 ↗ eight of us talking up here but I think

1:36:42 ↗ that these topics were we got better we

1:36:46 ↗ got a more candid conversation when we

1:36:49 ↗ were in retreat format so you know if

1:36:51 ↗ the majority of the council wants to

1:36:53 ↗ move forward tonight I'm I don't I don't

1:36:56 ↗ have any heartburn over it but I would

1:36:58 ↗ prefer that we take this up and retreat

1:37:00 ↗ Thank You deputy council person please

1:37:04 ↗ thank you madam mayor so I'm going to

1:37:07 ↗ start out just by throwing out a few

1:37:10 ↗ more issues for the list and as I was

1:37:14 ↗ reading through one more time a couple

1:37:18 ↗ of things came up for me in Section 2

1:37:22 ↗ 2.0 to be on the survey this is the

1:37:28 ↗ election of council president and deputy

1:37:29 ↗ council president it says that that's

1:37:31 ↗ going to happen in just

1:37:33 ↗ and it will be shared prior to the

1:37:37 ↗ election of leadership in January I was

1:37:39 ↗ just gonna say usually when we live by

1:37:41 ↗ the time we get to December where

1:37:44 ↗ there's holidays and that kind of thing

1:37:47 ↗ it seems like it's a little bit late so

1:37:49 ↗ something that we that we that's

1:37:51 ↗ brand-new the survey and so we want to

1:37:54 ↗ make sure that it actually is working

1:37:56 ↗ the way that it should be working and

1:37:58 ↗ I'm just wondering if a little bit

1:37:59 ↗ earlier might might be better for

1:38:02 ↗ everyone to then understand who is

1:38:05 ↗ interested in leadership a little bit

1:38:07 ↗ earlier than that and then number five

1:38:10 ↗ in that same section

1:38:12 ↗ I'm sorry process c5 where it talks

1:38:16 ↗ about if the first nominee receiving a

1:38:20 ↗ majority vote is declared the new

1:38:21 ↗ council president if there's a tie vote

1:38:23 ↗ the mayor may choose to break the tie I

1:38:26 ↗ just think in terms of the council

1:38:28 ↗ leadership and I I don't have any

1:38:33 ↗ wording that I've thought through here

1:38:35 ↗ but maybe if there would be an interim

1:38:37 ↗ step another vote or something that

1:38:40 ↗ would leave leave that to the council as

1:38:43 ↗ opposed to putting the mayor in the

1:38:45 ↗ situation to have to think about bris

1:38:46 ↗ breaking and tie especially right at the

1:38:49 ↗ beginning after that after that first

1:38:52 ↗ vote so maybe something additional there

1:38:55 ↗ then 4.12 the the Accounts Payable

1:39:03 ↗ payroll review I won't repeat what

1:39:05 ↗ councilmember winter Stein and

1:39:06 ↗ councilmember hunt spoke about but I

1:39:09 ↗ agree with both of those comments and I

1:39:12 ↗ think that we need to have more

1:39:14 ↗ information there and maybe just a

1:39:19 ↗ review of that section in general mm-hmm

1:39:22 ↗ [Music]

1:39:23 ↗ that thinks more about that and then

1:39:26 ↗ 5.01 ii

1:39:34 ↗ so this has to do with the work sessions

1:39:36 ↗ and again I won't

1:39:38 ↗ I won't go back to what other council

1:39:41 ↗ members have talked about just in terms

1:39:42 ↗ of the whether that's going to be in

1:39:45 ↗ there not in there and those revisions

1:39:48 ↗ and and being able to work through that

1:39:50 ↗ but also when we talk about the agenda

1:39:53 ↗ preparation and II it says a majority of

1:39:57 ↗ the council forum members may request an

1:39:59 ↗ item to be added to a future work

1:40:01 ↗ session agenda

1:40:02 ↗ I believe councilmember Ray had the same

1:40:05 ↗ question and I had read the response

1:40:08 ↗ however I I would just say and I

1:40:11 ↗ understand it's a majority of the

1:40:13 ↗ council but I would you know typically

1:40:16 ↗ if we've had three members that have

1:40:18 ↗ been interested that was something that

1:40:22 ↗ could go forward and this is just the

1:40:24 ↗ the addition of an item to the work

1:40:29 ↗ agenda but so I just I would love to

1:40:31 ↗ hear what everybody else has to say

1:40:33 ↗ there but I'm not sure if we need to

1:40:36 ↗ have four and I believe that that is all

1:40:41 ↗ but in I've got some questions I think

1:40:44 ↗ that we have a fair amount of questions

1:40:46 ↗ I think that this has been a really

1:40:48 ↗ great first draft but I do think that

1:40:51 ↗ we're going to need it for me I think to

1:40:55 ↗ either come back and read some of the

1:40:58 ↗ edits to get more information or another

1:41:01 ↗ session as Tola talked about Thank You

1:41:05 ↗ councilmember Goodman Thank You Tina I

1:41:09 ↗ just had one question on 2.02 a timing

1:41:14 ↗ of election of council president deputy

1:41:17 ↗ president it says is to be is to take

1:41:19 ↗ place the first regular meeting of each

1:41:21 ↗ calendar year per the code and we have

1:41:24 ↗ had those elections that that election

1:41:27 ↗ before in the seconds you have and when

1:41:31 ↗ that occurs it's in a off election year

1:41:34 ↗ so that you can review that early when

1:41:38 ↗ that happens your code says you can

1:41:40 ↗ suspend your rules and so the agenda

1:41:43 ↗ bill walks you through making that

1:41:45 ↗ motion to

1:41:45 ↗ suspend and then conducting the election

1:41:49 ↗ in December okay I just want to make

1:41:51 ↗ sure that that's not it's you still have

1:41:53 ↗ that ability in terms of timing if we

1:41:58 ↗ were to not vote and take this to a

1:42:03 ↗ different meeting I think I'd be more in

1:42:06 ↗ favor of a work session rather than

1:42:07 ↗ another retreat certainly not sure I'm

1:42:12 ↗ interested in a separate new retreat

1:42:15 ↗ date yeah work sessions are full so we

1:42:18 ↗ would most likely be looking at a

1:42:20 ↗ special meeting to accommodate that work

1:42:23 ↗ but it doesn't have to be work session

1:42:26 ↗ format or sorry retreat format if that's

1:42:29 ↗ not the majority that's not ever

1:42:33 ↗ interesting thank you I want to make my

1:42:35 ↗ opening comment now and I really do

1:42:38 ↗ appreciate it as long as I've been on

1:42:42 ↗ the council now that this is the first

1:42:44 ↗ time I've this format this completeness

1:42:47 ↗ and it's responsive to things that have

1:42:50 ↗ happened so I really it is a good body

1:42:52 ↗ work I'd really do appreciate it and I

1:42:54 ↗ wish I had a different setting where we

1:42:56 ↗ could have gone through it a little bit

1:42:57 ↗ better this is my first opportunity but

1:42:59 ↗ I am you know I think there is I would

1:43:03 ↗ like the opportunity talked about a few

1:43:04 ↗ other things but overall this is this is

1:43:06 ↗ a really good document thanks for the

1:43:08 ↗ work I know tisha worked on it as well

1:43:09 ↗ thanks you both so I have heard from all

1:43:16 ↗ of you at least once and I have heard

1:43:18 ↗ let's vote on it tonight let's have a

1:43:21 ↗ retreat and let's do it at a work

1:43:23 ↗ session so council member right I'd like

1:43:25 ↗ to propose a alternate which is to

1:43:27 ↗ create an ad-hoc Rules Committee for

1:43:31 ↗ things and allow the ad-hoc committee to

1:43:36 ↗ work through some of these open issues

1:43:38 ↗ and that way we don't get tied up into

1:43:41 ↗ trying to schedule a work session I

1:43:43 ↗ think a group of three such as winter

1:43:46 ↗ Stein Mart's and hunt could do a

1:43:49 ↗ fantastic job

1:43:52 ↗ fantastic job of working through the

1:43:54 ↗ open issues and bring something back

1:43:56 ↗ that has gotten a second look so just a

1:43:59 ↗ different perspective on how to move it

1:44:01 ↗ and move it forward faster okay so thank

1:44:05 ↗ you for that ad hocs can also consist of

1:44:07 ↗ - they don't have to be three but two or

1:44:10 ↗ three on an ad hoc would be great so I

1:44:12 ↗ have four options on here now how would

1:44:15 ↗ you like to proceed as a body on

1:44:16 ↗ deciding which option you're gonna go

1:44:18 ↗ with it's not realistic option five

1:44:21 ↗ committee of two so we could talk about

1:44:29 ↗ these winter night is there any support

1:44:31 ↗ in taking a vote on this this evening

1:44:34 ↗ this one looks like so I heard at least

1:44:38 ↗ one or two council members talk against

1:44:40 ↗ doing a retreat I've heard support for

1:44:44 ↗ either a work session with all seven or

1:44:46 ↗ some sort of ad hoc with two or three

1:44:47 ↗ people ad hoc that's the way you want to

1:44:50 ↗ go here were three people hasn't even

1:44:57 ↗ talked I had talked earlier but I when

1:45:01 ↗ you mention those four I would suggest

1:45:03 ↗ that of those either I you know I said a

1:45:06 ↗ retreat

1:45:07 ↗ I am also sensitive to the fact that

1:45:10 ↗ people have a hard time sometimes

1:45:12 ↗ scheduling retreat so I I would be okay

1:45:15 ↗ with the work session so I sort of think

1:45:18 ↗ work session in ad hoc are probably the

1:45:20 ↗ two options and my suggestion would be

1:45:22 ↗ that we just decide between those two

1:45:23 ↗ options unless somebody feels strongly

1:45:25 ↗ about one of the others that's more of a

1:45:27 ↗ Goodman

1:45:28 ↗ I think mentioned I think at first

1:45:31 ↗ mention of ad hoc it sounds like a great

1:45:33 ↗ idea am i concerned about it the ad hoc

1:45:35 ↗ is I I would want to hear those

1:45:38 ↗ discussions so council member winter

1:45:42 ↗ stein you know how to question about the

1:45:44 ↗ process a specific process that we have

1:45:48 ↗ been following it is now it's been

1:45:50 ↗ proposed in the manual and if there's an

1:45:52 ↗ ad hoc that discussion takes place and

1:45:56 ↗ it's just gonna have to take place again

1:45:58 ↗ at the full council because I I mean I

1:46:00 ↗ won't hear that discussion and if Paul's

1:46:02 ↗ not in that committee he's gonna want to

1:46:03 ↗ hear that too

1:46:04 ↗ so I would prefer work session any other

1:46:09 ↗ thoughts on ad-hoc work session right I

1:46:12 ↗ would prefer a work session where were

1:46:18 ↗ the council like to go I can't remember

1:46:20 ↗ hon just have a thought so as we proceed

1:46:23 ↗ to moving things more to work sessions I

1:46:26 ↗ imagine this question of ad-hoc versus

1:46:28 ↗ work session will come up more because

1:46:30 ↗ we'll be having more items going and so

1:46:34 ↗ I just wonder about about this specific

1:46:38 ↗ concern that that has been raised about

1:46:41 ↗ how the other council members get the

1:46:43 ↗ information from the ad hoc and if we

1:46:45 ↗ can consider what what we can do in

1:46:48 ↗ terms of providing some sort of record

1:46:51 ↗ for the other council members because I

1:46:53 ↗ I imagine that this will come up more

1:46:55 ↗ and more as we move more towards work

1:46:57 ↗ sessions mm-hmm I think when two things

1:47:00 ↗ were struggling right now is we're that

1:47:01 ↗ happy places where you send a detailed

1:47:04 ↗ issue off to ad hoc or it's a

1:47:06 ↗ conversation in all seven want to have

1:47:07 ↗ and not having you repeat ad hoc

1:47:10 ↗ conversations again in council though

1:47:13 ↗ yeah so for tonight though these are

1:47:17 ↗ your rules so we will go with what you

1:47:20 ↗ want to do if the majority feels that

1:47:23 ↗ but on the items that Paul brought up

1:47:26 ↗ and Mariah and Vicki brought up are best

1:47:28 ↗ discussed in a group of seven then it

1:47:29 ↗ should be a work session and we will

1:47:32 ↗ just find another night a question would

1:47:34 ↗ it be possible to have a recording of an

1:47:36 ↗ ad hoc facilities no which would be a

1:47:42 ↗ good record so I think considering there

1:47:45 ↗ it well there is a time issue of this in

1:47:49 ↗ getting it done it sounds like we have

1:47:53 ↗ enough time to find a time that works

1:47:56 ↗ for everybody to do a work session so I

1:47:59 ↗ think I would be supportive of that idea

1:48:01 ↗ there an additional work session not

1:48:03 ↗ adding to one of your big meaty wins

1:48:04 ↗ already on a weeknight with all seven of

1:48:07 ↗ you on camera and you could use your cow

1:48:09 ↗ time in July you use the your committee

1:48:13 ↗ of the whole okay it's an opportune

1:48:16 ↗ can we sit down there and they sit there

1:48:17 ↗ not up here yeah how does that sound we

1:48:24 ↗ can actually just go tonight with the

1:48:26 ↗ committee of the whole date as your

1:48:28 ↗ rules discussion if you want to have it

1:48:31 ↗ in a head nod what's the date day July

1:48:35 ↗ 23rd it isn't yeah

1:48:39 ↗ state administrator moon wants to add

1:48:40 ↗ something just when I share that if we

1:48:44 ↗ suspend this conversation until late

1:48:47 ↗ July I would anticipate that staff would

1:48:50 ↗ also be bringing to you at that same

1:48:52 ↗ time the language concerning study

1:48:54 ↗ session at that point then will sort of

1:48:57 ↗ render a little moot if you still want

1:48:59 ↗ to stay on that path those two sections

1:49:01 ↗ the deal with the work session and the

1:49:06 ↗ committee of the whole

1:49:07 ↗ so my two suggestions would be either

1:49:12 ↗ you consider the rules of procedure with

1:49:16 ↗ the study session language included and

1:49:18 ↗ those other sections for work session

1:49:22 ↗ and the cow meeting removed at the end

1:49:26 ↗ of July or we try to find a different

1:49:30 ↗ time in June or later this month even

1:49:35 ↗ where you can discuss the rules of

1:49:38 ↗ procedure as they were drafted for this

1:49:40 ↗ evening

1:49:41 ↗ that's membrane against my word sting so

1:49:45 ↗ thinking this through a little bit if I

1:49:47 ↗ think about what's in the current rules

1:49:50 ↗ of procedure that we are considering

1:49:51 ↗ tonight most of it is a reiteration of

1:49:55 ↗ state law city ordinance and our current

1:49:58 ↗ processes there's just a few odds and

1:50:00 ↗ ends that are new ideas and none of them

1:50:03 ↗ are going to happen in the next couple

1:50:05 ↗ months so thinking about that and then

1:50:08 ↗ thinking about Administrator moons

1:50:09 ↗ comment maybe what we should be doing is

1:50:12 ↗ instead of adopting this now or even

1:50:14 ↗ considering this now is to go to a work

1:50:16 ↗ session with the rules of procedure that

1:50:18 ↗ include our new operating model and

1:50:21 ↗ method and just do it once and pick up

1:50:23 ↗ the open issues that we're seeing

1:50:27 ↗ that are coming to light this evening at

1:50:29 ↗ that time at the end at that same

1:50:31 ↗ instance address how we're going to do

1:50:33 ↗ the work-study model that timing would

1:50:36 ↗ be like I think our proposal is to

1:50:40 ↗ actually start giving you some

1:50:42 ↗ information in June so that we have a

1:50:44 ↗ little bit of time to gather some of

1:50:47 ↗ your input and hopefully arrive at a

1:50:50 ↗ draft that you have some knowledge of

1:50:54 ↗ can understand some of your questions

1:50:57 ↗ have been answered and that it looks

1:50:59 ↗ like that's going to be the successful

1:51:01 ↗ language you'll still have an

1:51:02 ↗ opportunity to consider it as

1:51:04 ↗ councilmember Rey has suggested along

1:51:07 ↗ with everything else that is here but

1:51:09 ↗ that late July timeframe would then

1:51:13 ↗ become a little bit more critical if we

1:51:15 ↗ were to start the study sessions in

1:51:18 ↗ August we would if we're not able to act

1:51:22 ↗ or the end of July or very beginning of

1:51:25 ↗ August and we may have to end up

1:51:27 ↗ delaying that ultimately transplanting

1:51:30 ↗ that a little bit more I know you

1:51:31 ↗ explained it to me that it's our tina

1:51:33 ↗ did that it's in the code how we do it

1:51:35 ↗ and so we have to make those changes

1:51:37 ↗ before we move into it correct by

1:51:40 ↗ ordinance correct our Municipal Code

1:51:43 ↗ right now spells out the procedure for a

1:51:48 ↗ work session and the committee of the

1:51:50 ↗ whole we would want to add new language

1:51:53 ↗ with regard to study sessions and make

1:51:55 ↗ it clear that that's the format that

1:51:57 ↗ were we're using okay so it is confusing

1:52:01 ↗ I mean it's confusing for you it's

1:52:03 ↗ probably enormous ly confusing for the

1:52:04 ↗ public but this first exercise is really

1:52:07 ↗ taking our old handbook and coming up

1:52:09 ↗ with something that's more compact the

1:52:10 ↗ second one is we're in the middle of a

1:52:12 ↗ transition of trying out moving from

1:52:14 ↗ committee that piece of committee and

1:52:17 ↗ Cal moving to study session requires a

1:52:20 ↗ code change that you have to pass before

1:52:22 ↗ you can actually do it so that way if we

1:52:24 ↗ get hung up in July or August with this

1:52:27 ↗ it also means we will not move to the

1:52:29 ↗ new structure until we pass the

1:52:30 ↗ ordinance I think we can get through it

1:52:35 ↗ I'm optimistic

1:52:37 ↗ I can sum every cancer present mert a

1:52:39 ↗ little bit off-topic because because

1:52:41 ↗ we're talking about the new structure my

1:52:44 ↗ recollection coming out of our retreats

1:52:45 ↗ is we said we were going to trial the

1:52:47 ↗ new structure and then evaluate it and

1:52:49 ↗ then make a determination if that's what

1:52:50 ↗ we wanted to do so what we're saying is

1:52:52 ↗ we have to adopt new ordinance is a new

1:52:55 ↗ code to implement the new structure

1:52:58 ↗ trial it if we don't like it then we

1:53:01 ↗ have to and go back to proven ordinance

1:53:04 ↗ and you'll have to approve a different

1:53:06 ↗ ordinance if you want to go back yes

1:53:08 ↗ okay I just want to make sure I was good

1:53:11 ↗ question that's what President marks I

1:53:13 ↗ just want to ask in addition to

1:53:15 ↗ everything else of trying to get stuff

1:53:17 ↗ done I I believe that July 23rd meeting

1:53:19 ↗ might be City Administrator moons Last

1:53:21 ↗ House Council meeting so with the timing

1:53:24 ↗ of this have anything have any impact on

1:53:28 ↗ that have any timing issues with this oh

1:53:31 ↗ I will be here for the first meeting in

1:53:33 ↗ the August as well okay so remember

1:53:38 ↗ we're interesting thank you for that

1:53:40 ↗ additional information I think it would

1:53:42 ↗ be wise to to immediately impanel an ad

1:53:45 ↗ hoc committee to work toward making the

1:53:47 ↗ best possible use of our touch in July I

1:53:51 ↗ think there's some lifting that can be

1:53:53 ↗ done and things clarified and without

1:53:57 ↗ compromising the conversation about

1:53:59 ↗ certain critical items that we still

1:54:00 ↗ want to have in front of them with

1:54:02 ↗ everybody I would be open to that we

1:54:04 ↗ take an informal vote on that can we do

1:54:05 ↗ a thumbs up for work session first and

1:54:07 ↗ then a thumbs up for ad hoc is they

1:54:09 ↗ really need to know what the seven of

1:54:11 ↗ you think I was actually advocating for

1:54:13 ↗ both with an ad hoc first bleeding small

1:54:17 ↗ group leading into a work session right

1:54:19 ↗ okay lots

1:54:25 ↗ if somebody wants to do the work or you

1:54:28 ↗ know do some of the work ahead of time

1:54:31 ↗ in order to have potentially a more

1:54:33 ↗ efficient work session work session I

1:54:36 ↗ think that's fantastic

1:54:38 ↗ that's for mothers I think one of the

1:54:45 ↗ questions earlier was can we record or

1:54:48 ↗ otherwise ad hoc and the why not since

1:54:53 ↗ we can with three-person committees

1:54:55 ↗ right I just think that ad hoc has

1:54:58 ↗ different rules of governance in terms

1:55:01 ↗ of record-keeping and public noticing

1:55:08 ↗ etc etc so if you televise a record one

1:55:12 ↗ out hoc then you need to do all of them

1:55:14 ↗ or it would be my concern it was

1:55:15 ↗ established that expectation so that

1:55:19 ↗ would be an additional question when

1:55:21 ↗ we're doing our we would see it as a

1:55:24 ↗ internal meeting that we would not apply

1:55:28 ↗ OPM a restrictions to and nor would we

1:55:31 ↗ want to set the president's for for that

1:55:34 ↗ for ad hocs

1:55:35 ↗ sure Mike my comment was that I don't

1:55:37 ↗ know the answer to this and so maybe

1:55:39 ↗ it's not even possible is that when

1:55:41 ↗ Vicki Singh asked that question

1:55:44 ↗ it was the context was when we're when

1:55:47 ↗ we try out the work session model if we

1:55:51 ↗ if we have a need for more ad hocs

1:55:56 ↗ is there an is there an option for those

1:55:59 ↗ ad hoc committee meetings to be

1:56:02 ↗ televised because that's a way that

1:56:05 ↗ council members can get information if

1:56:08 ↗ they're not on that committee so it's a

1:56:10 ↗ question I don't know the answer if you

1:56:11 ↗ have to do all ad hocs the same way I

1:56:15 ↗ don't know I guess I'd wonder too if if

1:56:19 ↗ the point of having the ad hoc is to

1:56:22 ↗ have a discussion that all seven of you

1:56:24 ↗ can see maybe all seven of yata after

1:56:27 ↗ conversation to me the ad hoc sort of

1:56:30 ↗ makes sense when you have a thing like

1:56:33 ↗ the business visit B&O tox worked really

1:56:35 ↗ well that was

1:56:37 ↗ you know taxing conversation it had two

1:56:40 ↗ people on the ad-hoc committee it had

1:56:42 ↗ some non council members on the ad-hoc

1:56:44 ↗ committee and it just went down into all

1:56:47 ↗ the tax scenarios and not all of that

1:56:50 ↗ was presented back to Council I think

1:56:51 ↗ when you feel like you need to see all

1:56:53 ↗ of it I'm not sure what my good ad huh

1:56:56 ↗ that's not present much I like Paul

1:57:01 ↗ suggestion I think the spirit of it is

1:57:03 ↗ just that if we already know that

1:57:05 ↗ there's going to be a lot of work on

1:57:07 ↗ July 23rd the three two or three or have

1:57:11 ↗ been less than four people are willing

1:57:13 ↗ to get together and take some afternoons

1:57:15 ↗ and try to hit this a little bit and

1:57:17 ↗ make it such that when we get to the

1:57:20 ↗ 23rd it's in anyway more ready for the

1:57:23 ↗ seven to look at then I like that idea

1:57:25 ↗ and I personally I'm fine with if I get

1:57:29 ↗ if I get to hear a presentation from the

1:57:31 ↗ city twice then that's twice as nice

1:57:36 ↗ okay where are we going we want an ad

1:57:43 ↗ hoc prior to a work session in June and

1:57:46 ↗ do we have volunteers for the ad hoc

1:57:49 ↗ council member a council member head not

1:57:51 ↗ falling volunteer through yet I was just

1:57:56 ↗ going to endorse the notion of having an

1:58:00 ↗ ad hoc to do the early analysis of both

1:58:06 ↗ the current rules of procedure and then

1:58:09 ↗ the new ideas as they start to

1:58:11 ↗ crystallize by the administration and

1:58:13 ↗ then bring that forward to a committee

1:58:18 ↗ work session in the end of July and that

1:58:21 ↗ we don't take action on these rules

1:58:23 ↗ until such time as we have all of them

1:58:26 ↗ in place and we just do it once so I'm

1:58:30 ↗ not seeing a lot of disagreement with

1:58:32 ↗ that

1:58:33 ↗ who would like to be sitting on the ad

1:58:35 ↗ hoc I'm just saying you did put your

1:58:38 ↗ hand up oh gosh okay big surprise

1:58:42 ↗ yes so it's gonna be between you two

1:58:45 ↗ councilmember Hank counts my murder

1:58:46 ↗ Stein and then I have ray and Marta did

1:58:52 ↗ you have your hand up they did okay then

1:58:54 ↗ fine okay so just to make sure I want

1:58:59 ↗ Tina to get a chance to ask questions to

1:59:01 ↗ make sure she understands the dates the

1:59:03 ↗ expectations and all of that you had

1:59:05 ↗ another question I just had a comment on

1:59:08 ↗ the value of recording so I think I

1:59:10 ↗ think firstly that there is value i

1:59:13 ↗ watch other committee meetings for

1:59:15 ↗ example so there's a different sort of

1:59:17 ↗ value for people I think watching the

1:59:20 ↗ meetings than necessarily for all seven

1:59:23 ↗ in the conversation together so I am

1:59:27 ↗ interested in how we best can

1:59:28 ↗ communicate the information from the ad

1:59:30 ↗ hocs specifically because we're or

1:59:32 ↗ especially because we're going to be

1:59:34 ↗ doing more ad hoc so we're going to need

1:59:36 ↗ to have those conversations that

1:59:39 ↗ information conveyed to the larger body

1:59:41 ↗ efficiently more often than than in our

1:59:44 ↗ current structure and then also their

1:59:47 ↗ recordings are I think also useful for

1:59:49 ↗ the public and for transparency so to

1:59:51 ↗ the extent that we can do that I think

1:59:54 ↗ it's important and again moving more to

1:59:57 ↗ ad hoc I think the extent that we can

2:00:00 ↗ convey not only amongst ourselves but to

2:00:02 ↗ the public what we're talking about it's

2:00:04 ↗ just that much more important mm-hm

2:00:07 ↗ okay and Tina did you have any questions

2:00:09 ↗ on what you've heard in terms of timing

2:00:13 ↗ expectations I think the clerk's office

2:00:16 ↗ would like to move quickly with with ad

2:00:20 ↗ hoc group and scheduling some dates and

2:00:23 ↗ times at work and in a couple of weeks

2:00:25 ↗ in the ad hoc I think we would track the

2:00:30 ↗ document through red line version and

2:00:33 ↗ add comments to help convey our progress

2:00:39 ↗ be great yeah anything else

2:00:44 ↗ since this had emotion with the original

2:00:49 ↗ a be tisha what would the process be

2:00:51 ↗ this evening it would really appreciate

2:00:54 ↗ if someone would make a motion to the

2:00:56 ↗ effect of yeah discussion you just had

2:00:59 ↗ about forming an ad-hoc group to further

2:01:01 ↗ discuss the rules and lists those who

2:01:04 ↗ would be appointed to the committee that

2:01:06 ↗ sound great somebody want to make that

2:01:09 ↗ off the top of their head or take a I

2:01:13 ↗ will take a stab at it I would move that

2:01:16 ↗ the city create an ad hoc committee to

2:01:23 ↗ review the document to rules and

2:01:28 ↗ procedures document comprised of council

2:01:31 ↗ members hunt ray and winter Stein and

2:01:35 ↗ that they report no later than July 23rd
