10:14 councilmember Goodman thank you madam
10:16 mayor last Thursday I along with
10:19 councilmember Rea and the mayor attended
10:21 Eastside fire and rescues Board of
10:24 Directors meeting monthly meeting and
10:27 several interesting things on our agenda
10:29 the first cup three items in particular
10:33 are of interest to the community I'm
10:36 sure
10:37 on July 17th from 2 to 4 p.m. at the
10:41 North Bend Library Eastside Fire and
10:43 Rescue will be providing a demonstration
10:45 of their new drone they received this
10:49 year and I'm sure that would be very
10:53 interesting presentation because we saw
10:55 some videos and it was quite amazing
10:57 what it can do the second item of
11:01 interest of the community I talked about
11:02 a couple of months ago called it's
11:05 called community connect and it allows
11:07 the community to sign up through
11:10 Eastside fire and rescues website for
11:15 providing information to first
11:17 responders about information about your
11:20 personal circumstances at your place
11:23 that might help first responders when
11:25 they get to your place if there is an
11:27 emergency and it's right on the front
11:30 page of the website
11:30 Eastside Fire and Rescue its Eastside
11:32 fire - rescue dot org and so I would
11:35 encourage people to go look at that and
11:39 also at the meeting we were able to be
11:45 there with an award that was presented
11:47 to Chief Clark it's an award called the
11:51 I think it's called the Patriot award
11:53 and it is an award that a very few of
11:57 these are given out each year I think it
12:00 might be about 15 nationwide it is the
12:04 highest award that is given out by the
12:06 Secretary of Defense each year and it is
12:08 awarded to those people who provide
12:12 support to our our military personnel so
12:16 congratulations to Chief Clark we also
12:18 had two other items of business on our
12:21 agenda one is a an initial discussion on
12:24 governance right now Eastside Fire and
12:27 Rescue is comprised of five members and
12:29 we are governed by an interlocal
12:31 agreement there are some other options
12:33 for a government governance structure
12:35 and those discussions are anticipated
12:39 future discussions are anticipated to
12:41 happen
12:43 for the rest of the year and there are
12:48 some options other than our local
12:50 agreements that East Side Fire and
12:51 Rescue rescue members will be discussing
12:53 at the board and we will be bringing
12:54 those back to the council as soon as we
12:56 have more in-depth discussions we also
12:59 had a discussion about mutual aid and
13:03 this is about some issues that are
13:07 ongoing involving Fall City and
13:10 Snoqualmie and that topic will be
13:13 discussed in more detail at a committee
13:15 meeting that is July 31st at noon at
13:20 headquarters and that's my report Thank
13:23 You deputy council president batiste
13:24 thank you madam mayor no report this
13:26 evening Thank You council president
13:28 Mertz
13:29 thank you madam mayor sound cities
13:31 association public issues committee met
13:34 last Wednesday July 10th at Rendon City
13:37 Hall at 7:00 p.m. we had three issues
13:40 that are potential future action items
13:42 which is all of a sudden going from
13:44 famine to feast but we don't have an
13:46 August meeting so it isn't absolutely
13:49 essential that we dive into them this
13:51 evening and given that we have a full
13:52 council meeting and that the minutes
13:54 have not been published yet for pick I'm
13:56 gonna wait until they do the first is on
13:59 King County Charter Review and the
14:01 activities around that the second is on
14:04 vision 2050 as councilmember winter
14:06 Stein reported we are expecting to see
14:10 the draft plan this Friday July 19th we
14:15 have a king county growth management
14:19 policy council meeting on July 24th it
14:23 is not expected that the sca members
14:26 will be able to have much to say that
14:29 reflects the will of their cities
14:30 because such a short amount of time will
14:32 have occurred between those two however
14:35 GNPC does meet again September 27th
14:38 which will be five or six days after SCA
14:42 s Executive Board meets and so there is
14:44 a hope that with feedback from the
14:46 cities in the intervening intervening
14:48 couple of months and with a second
14:51 conversation on vision 2050 at the
14:53 September pick meeting
14:55 s-see a board will be able to talk
14:58 intelligently about this and thus GNPC
15:01 will be able to reflect that
15:02 intelligently at our committee meeting
15:04 such is the hope that we have and then
15:07 the third issue for potential action
15:10 revolves around potential position from
15:14 SCA on House bill 1406 state sales tax
15:18 credit for affordable housing and
15:20 whether SCA should sort of provide
15:23 umbrella guidance as to how that might
15:26 be structured so all three of these
15:28 items I plan on bringing back to Council
15:31 for it go to the order after pic minutes
15:34 have been released and you've had a
15:35 chance to take a look at them but we
15:36 have the rare luxury of two months
15:38 between a pic meetings so we have time
15:40 as I mentioned GMP sea meets July 24th
15:46 the agenda is still to be determined
15:49 this concludes my report Thank You
15:50 council president on to the main support
15:53 I do have one housekeeping item that is
15:55 not on my mayor's report I did Vicki
15:59 councilmember hunt and I have been

16:07 Metro King County Sewer I do have some
16:10 additional information tonight the board
16:11 meeting I believe you said is next week
16:13 and I think they're going to be voting
16:16 on that item and so I have some
16:18 additional information to present to it
16:19 good of the order to sort of finish that
16:20 conversation before we have the board

21:27 Council something that we have mentioned
21:31 I think in every one of these
21:32 presentations is the CIP is a planning
21:37 document it is a statement of intended
21:42 plans but they are not final decisions
21:46 every project within the CIP is subject
21:49 to change subject to modification either
21:51 through subsequent budget processes
21:54 through subsequent policy discussions
21:57 we've talked about a number of policy
21:58 issues that will be coming back to the
22:00 council for discussion and then
22:02 subsequent updates to the CIP the CIP is
22:06 updated every two years so there are
22:08 opportunities to revisit at those
22:11 junctures I will also point out that by
22:14 its very nature capital improvement
22:17 projects
22:18 to be very fluid particularly the larger
22:20 projects the more complex they are so
22:22 again this is is a planning document as
22:28 a reminder the CIP we plan for a six
22:32 year period so 2020 through 2025 the
22:36 process that the city undertook to
22:38 prepare the CIP was exhaustive it
22:42 involved 22 capital managers and seven
22:46 city departments collaborated to produce
22:48 the proposed CIP the CIP covers a number
22:55 of asset categories within the city
22:57 capital equipment municipal facilities
23:00 Parks and Recreation technology systems
23:03 trails transportation and water sewer
23:07 and stormwater projects also as a
23:12 reminder we are required by state law to
23:15 adopt a transportation improvement plan
23:18 and the capital improvement plan that
23:21 the council will be adopting also serves
23:24 the purpose of the transportation
23:27 improvement plan so the resolution that
23:30 you will be considering later tonight
23:33 adopts both both required plans as we
23:38 have talked about during this process
23:40 with a six-year planning horizon there
23:44 is more certainty in the near term and
23:48 less certainty in the out-years so we
23:52 paid particular attention to projects in
23:55 2020 and 2021 and made sure that the
24:01 revenues and expenditures balanced out
24:04 in those years as you get into the out
24:06 years again because this is a planning
24:08 document we've identified a number of
24:11 projects that and needs that the city is
24:14 facing for which we don't have revenue
24:17 sources and this is very typical for a
24:19 CIP or identifying things that we need
24:22 to be focusing our attention on both the
24:25 staff and then council is the
24:28 policy-making body into
24:30 the out-years and it's important that we
24:32 get some of these pretty ly some of
24:34 these larger policy things on the radar
24:36 now because they do take time to flesh
24:41 out and to have those policy discussions
24:47 so we proposed a number of projects
24:49 within the CIP and at the June 24th work
24:55 session Council expressed a desire to
24:59 accelerate work on southeast 43rd signal
25:03 improvements from commencing the project
25:06 in 2021 to commencing the project in
25:09 2020 in order to do this this means
25:12 changing the funding source from the
25:14 proposed transportation benefit district
25:16 package to existing general fund debt
25:20 service capacity in order to accommodate
25:23 that desire by the council we did have
25:27 to make some other changes to the CIP
25:30 and they are listed on this slide
25:34 pk-12 Valley Trail and Creek site
25:37 acquisition PK 30 to hillside
25:40 acquisition TR 38 three trails crossing
25:44 all of those are now shown as unfunded
25:49 in the out-years 2022 through 2025 in
25:52 order to free up sufficient existing
25:56 debt service capacity in order to
25:58 accelerate work on southeast 43rd in
26:02 addition we've reduced the amounts of of
26:07 costs funded through general fund
26:10 supported debt in 2022 for the new fire
26:13 station
26:17 on the at the July 8th work session we
26:21 also heard from the council a couple of
26:25 things that led us to make a couple of
26:27 more changes to the CIP the first is to
26:32 TR 30 the pavement management program
26:34 there was a request by Council to change
26:38 the project description to better align
26:41 that with the intention of the
26:44 Transportation benefit district so the
26:46 CIP pages that you have before you
26:49 tonight reflect those changes and then
26:52 there was also a request to change the
26:55 description of the hillside Park project
26:57 to provide some clarity around the
27:00 likely reallocation of funds to support
27:03 the project so again those are reflected
27:05 in the revised CIP pages that have been
27:09 presented to you in preparation for this
27:11 meeting I also want to note one other
27:14 thing that's not reflected on this slide
27:16 but it is a change in the CIP documents
27:19 that were provided and that is that we
27:23 on the Sycamore soar project it was
27:27 originally in the original proposed CIP
27:29 was slated for funding in 2020 the
27:32 revised CIP that we presented to you now
27:36 reflects funding for that project in
27:38 2024 and that reflects the discussion
27:41 that council had on July 8th on the
27:46 Sycamore project about the need for more
27:49 time for planning on the project so
27:52 we've pushed that project out so that
27:54 council has that planning time and time
27:57 to have that policy discussion so I'm
28:02 gonna wrap up the presentation where we
28:07 started which is the CIP is a planning
28:11 document and nothing in the CIP is a
28:18 certainty until we go through subsequent
28:20 budget processes and is subject to
28:23 change as council debates some of these
28:26 larger policy issues that will be coming
28:28 your way in
28:29 becoming months and years to come so
28:33 with that we'll pause there for
28:37 questions and hand it back to you madam
28:40 mayor
28:41 thank you before we go to the reopening
28:46 or continuing the public hearing does
28:49 counsel have any questions for Belle
28:52 Emily do do we need to list potential
29:00 funding sources including mitigation
29:02 funding sources in the CIP even if
29:04 there's not a specific amount planned
29:06 for a given project I know we don't and
29:13 then also can read one and mitigation
29:17 parks be used as potential sources of
29:20 funding for acquisitions both Creek and
29:22 hillside yes thank you
29:27 the administrator moon just I just want
29:30 to clarify on mitigation funds it it has
29:35 been guidance that we have received that
29:38 mitigation funds need to be identified
29:40 in the CIP now council has the
29:43 opportunity to amend the CIP and
29:45 identify project being eligible for
29:47 mitigation funds in the future so
29:49 mitigation funds are treated a little
29:51 bit differently than say reap funds are
29:54 other funding sources where we have a
29:58 little bit more flexibility to later
30:00 apply those funding sources to those
30:03 projects but with mitigation funds we
30:05 try to identify those upfront that these
30:07 are eligible projects for mitigation
30:08 funds when we try to describe the amount
30:10 of budget that we anticipate perhaps
30:13 taking from those funds for those
30:14 projects if they're not shown in this
30:17 adopted CIP does not preclude you from
30:20 using mitigation funds some point in the
30:22 future but we would highly recommend
30:23 that you come back and amend your CIP to
30:25 show that project is being eligible that
30:28 happens from time to time as scope
30:30 changes on a project or as more of that
30:33 funding source becomes available so you
30:36 always have the opportunity to amend the
30:38 CIP but with mitigation funds we would
30:41 advise you to show that as a funding
30:43 source along with anticipated amount of
30:45 that funding source that you plan to use
30:48 that's a member had I'm gonna let you
30:50 reframe your question because I think
30:52 your question more was about even if
30:54 mitigation funds were not currently
30:55 being put in in a dollar amount your
30:58 question is about whether or not there
30:59 should be just a category line item part
31:02 right and so to clarify my understanding
31:05 is we don't need to even for mitigation
31:08 we don't need to put that as a category
31:11 to use those funds but if there is a
31:13 specific project that is identified for
31:15 use of those funds with a dollar amount
31:18 associated that's when it would be
31:20 appropriate to include it but we
31:21 wouldn't include it even as a category
31:23 if there isn't a dollar amount yes
31:26 that's accurate okay great thank you
31:29 I've kind of lost track did you you got
31:32 an answer to your second question okay
31:35 are there any other questions
31:36 that's memory so I apologize for not
31:40 saying this ahead of time just follow up
31:41 on why I asked earlier but I what my
31:44 question was around encumbrances and it
31:46 deals with mitigation so what what
31:48 constitutes an encumbrance of a
31:50 mitigation fee
32:01 statute doesn't define encumbrance but I
32:04 would take it to mean an encumbrance
32:06 would be when you are legally obligated
32:08 to pay the fees so if you had entered
32:12 into a contract and you're legally
32:14 obligated to do that or if you had
32:16 pledged the fees to pay bonds or
32:20 something like that that would be
32:22 encumbering the fees right thanks are
32:25 there any other questions councilmember
32:27 Goodman yeah so we talked about the
32:30 sycamore sewer being pushed out a little
32:34 bit this is a capital improvement
32:37 planning document and at the meeting
32:41 that we had earlier this month they were
32:43 talked about there was talk about code
32:44 changes so those would not as I
32:48 understand it not be in this document
32:50 because those are not capital projects
32:52 and so at what point might the council
32:55 expect to see proposals on any code
33:02 changes and I don't mean months and
33:04 years I mean what what part of our
33:07 process during the year
33:08 might we council be entertained with the
33:13 proposal or monies to be spent on code
33:15 changes for example ministry to moon
33:22 counts Mary can you clarify what kind of
33:25 code changes here you're perhaps
33:27 anticipating well we talked about our
33:31 earlier in the month we talked about
33:33 code changes maybe for monitoring
33:36 testing things like that and I guess
33:38 what I'm for what I'm really getting at
33:39 and maybe I should just say is this
33:41 correct it would be something that we
33:43 would probably need to appropriate money
33:46 for unless there was mmm but that would
33:49 be a budget time right and so is it or
33:54 if it's on the planning calendar and we
33:57 don't need to necessarily have any more
33:58 staff time what I'm really getting at is
34:00 for folks in the Sycamore area who are
34:02 wondering if there could be anything
34:03 else between now and then between now
34:06 and what's in the capital or the CIP
34:08 it's possible between now and then that
34:11 we could see proposals to for code
34:12 changes correct okay
34:14 thank you for that I don't think we have
34:18 set forth the schedule and may ask the
34:20 mayor who was able to attend a meeting I
34:21 was not able to attend today to fill in
34:24 any blanks but that is an X cup of work
34:27 that were intended to do is go and
34:30 collect the additional data that was
34:32 described shape up some policy of
34:36 recommendations fine-tune the ones that
34:38 we have given you both but fill in some
34:40 gaps as well and strategize about the
34:43 way in which we can move toward a better
34:47 State and so I wouldn't anticipate that
34:50 we're probably not going to bring
34:52 forward those code changes before the
34:56 end of the year but more so early next
34:59 year is what I would anticipate just
35:01 given what the calendar foreshadows for
35:05 you over the fall okay
35:07 I'll add a little bit to that we we have
35:11 been having internal discussions about
35:13 and just to be clear we're in the middle
35:15 of a city administrator transition and
35:17 so miss moon will be retiring nice word
35:21 in two weeks I have been working with
35:24 our deputy City Administrator talking
35:26 with staff about what the next steps
35:28 look like because conversations last
35:31 year with the Sycamore neighborhood
35:33 contained multiple items and now things
35:35 are being pulled apart
35:36 I think the intent is in this year to
35:39 come back with an open house there's
35:42 still discussion on what that might look
35:43 like on what potential testing changes
35:47 might look like what possible code
35:48 language might look like thoughts of
35:51 having council attend the open house
35:53 with the community and looking at a
35:56 timeline that is maybe within two
35:59 quarters long of approving code so well
36:02 in advance of any consideration of a
36:04 capital project even for the following
36:06 year so that conversation is ongoing and
36:09 still moving forward and the capital
36:11 project conversation you will decide
36:13 tonight when you make your vote as to
36:14 move it to the outer years right thank
36:17 you I yeah I appreciate I realized that
36:20 that's not technically part of our
36:21 discussion tonight but I think if there
36:23 are people here or watching or hear what
36:25 happens tonight they will be curious
36:28 and so I I think that's appropriate
36:31 information to share thank you for doing
36:32 that are there any other questions
36:34 before we continue our public hearing so
36:41 the guidelines for the public hearing
36:43 are similar to the same as the ones we
36:45 had put up for audience comments earlier
36:47 and again if you're here speaking for a
36:49 group please identify which group you
36:51 are speaking for and those in our
36:53 audience who want to indicate support
36:55 and show counsel they support a
36:56 speaker's comments please raise your
36:58 hand I'm going to open the public
37:00 hearing at 7:37
37:03 and tisha do we have a list no one has
37:06 signed up to speak so I see Joe Verner
37:11 just jumping up and down in the front
37:12 row I'm sure he wants to put his hand up
37:14 we don't have anyone on the list but as
37:16 you all know I will continue and to open
37:19 it up to anyone who wishes to speak
37:22 tonight please raise your hand come on
37:24 up to the microphone and identify your
37:25 name and your address and if somebody
37:27 else would like to speak maybe you could
37:29 just queue up with a person so please
37:30 come on up and join us thank you
37:42 my name is Naomi Lorenson and thank you
37:45 for being here with all of us this
37:49 evening mostly I am here to thank you
37:52 for listening to the folks from
37:54 Providence point for many years it is my
37:59 fondest hope that you do not have to
38:02 listen to us again next year I also
38:06 would like to publicly thank two people
38:09 Ernie wolf who you know pretty well by
38:14 now I'm sure as he's been attending your
38:16 meetings forever and Daphne gran who's
38:19 also in the audience today who have done
38:21 a tremendous amount of work for
38:23 Providence Point to get that light as I
38:27 waited for 17 cars to go past me before
38:31 I could exit my village this evening I
38:33 thought to myself maybe next year at
38:37 this time the light will turn red for
38:40 them and green for me and I can just go
38:43 thank you
38:45 thank you so much and you and there are
38:47 some hands up in the air is there anyone
38:49 else they would like to address us this
38:50 evening
38:52 second call would anyone like to address
38:55 the council on this topic sure sir come
38:57 on up to the microphone
39:10 my name is Dan sho from Sycamore
39:13 resident and I'm here to talk about the
39:15 sewer I guess my first comment is what's
39:21 the status on Mike and Cathy Pierce's
39:24 question was that was sent to Council we
39:26 haven't had any response to that
39:28 letter and that was sent on the 25th of
39:30 June and I guess the question is when
39:32 should we expect an answer to those
39:34 questions thanks Dan if you can present
39:36 all of your information and then if
39:39 you're comfortable to leave it with the
39:40 clerk's that would be great I can have
39:42 the city administrator provide a follow
39:44 up when you're done thank you okay my
39:48 next comment then is on the s w09 the
39:52 sewer utility Upper Sycamore extension I
39:55 think as I read through that project
39:57 proposal it is pretty slim on facts for
40:01 the reason why we're gonna spend two
40:03 million-plus to put that project in
40:06 currently the statement is there are a
40:11 number of systems in the area that have
40:13 been characterized as in a state of tree
40:15 failure it's a simple question but why
40:18 is no number ever presented in any of
40:20 the discussions about sewer while we
40:23 here is a number well let's use the
40:25 number zero and then we just make this
40:28 whole thing go away for now until we do
40:30 the engineering studies and the testing
40:34 to find out if it's the sewer is even
40:37 needed in the neighborhood because right
40:39 now the data that was used to say there
40:41 were failures in the system was a
40:43 walk-around event by one of the city
40:46 engineers who walked from house to house
40:48 and there was some confusion in some of
40:50 the lots he thought the drain field was
40:52 here and the owner told him how it was
40:54 over there and so there was a lot of
40:56 mass confusion and again it's not an
40:58 acceptable test that's basically walking
41:00 on soggy ground or a sniff test neither
41:03 one is can be characterized this a way
41:07 to measure anything
41:10 and then my other comment well I guess
41:16 that was sort of raised here was the the
41:18 notion of the spending well unfunded it
41:21 sounds like all the funding gets sorted
41:23 out when the budget work gets done and I
41:26 would raise the issue that I would like
41:29 to see the city not have to raise sales
41:32 tax to fund some of these projects that
41:34 are coming on we need to learn to live
41:36 within our budget we've got plenty of
41:38 taxes in place right now we've got RTA
41:41 breathing down my back we've got 10% in
41:44 taxes already in the city and we're
41:46 going to go up to 10.2 I don't know when
41:48 it's going to stop and it's getting to
41:50 be kind of expensive to live in this
41:52 city for for what I'm not so sure
41:54 anymore you know so
42:04 I guess that's all I have thank you
42:07 yeah did you want to leave your notes
42:09 with is there information in there that
42:12 you would like to leave so that we can
42:13 answer fish okay thank you thank you
42:16 thank you very much
42:18 city administrator moon before we go on
42:19 I do remember seeing the comments that
42:22 were submitted by email by the residents
42:24 that were being referenced and I thought
42:28 I saw a response a follow-up response as
42:30 well from city administration saying
42:32 that it would thank you lots of
42:35 questions and it would take some time to
42:36 get back to it so maybe that information
42:38 hasn't gone back to the neighborhood but
42:41 I'm pretty sure it's a real detailed
42:44 list of questions madam mayor it was I
42:47 will have to look and see what sort of
42:49 response was sent out it was directed to
42:51 the City Council but that's all I can
42:53 say at this point okay thanks thank you
42:55 for bringing that up Dan is there anyone
42:57 else that would like to speak the saving
42:58 Joe come on up
43:04 thank you name is Joe Verner 1 2 3 0
43:08 Oakwood Place Issaquah don't have any
43:13 comments but have a question and that
43:17 question deals with the proposed
43:20 two-tenths of a percent sales tax
43:22 increase to help fund capital
43:27 improvement plans so 2 point question 1
43:32 is this item scheduled actually
43:35 scheduled for a vote and when is that
43:39 vote coming up and two what's the
43:45 estimated revenue per year for the city
43:52 on that proposal thank you
43:56 maybe we can get the answers this
43:58 evening or at least communicated back to
44:00 me text or email sure I don't have
44:04 enough to top my head but her thank you
44:08 is there anyone else who would like to
44:10 address council this evening during the
44:12 public hearing for the capital
44:14 improvement
44:15 program that can call anyone wishing to
44:18 address council final call so we will
44:21 close the public hearing at 8:40 for 744
44:30 a digital clock thank you
44:35 so counsel would you like to proceed
44:41 is there anyone prepared to make a
44:43 motion this evening or pose a question
44:49 or a comment councilmember Goodman I
44:53 would the last question about the 2% and
45:02 when is that
45:03 scheduled nothing is scheduled but I was
45:04 wondering if we could just get a few
45:06 sentences on the relationship between
45:07 the camp the CIP and that future
45:12 potentially anticipated revenue stream
45:15 yes would you like to come up and
45:18 address that question
45:22 yes so we had talked at the last work
45:27 session about coming back to Council
45:34 with a schedule or maybe let me step
45:37 back a bit counsel the June July 8th
45:44 sorry I'm suffering from time issues as
45:48 well
45:49 July 8th Council expressed an interest
45:53 in perhaps looking at southeast 43rd and
45:59 whether the TBD revenue could also back
46:03 that project along with general fund
46:05 general government debt service and we
46:08 said we were going to come back and talk
46:11 about potential timing of that I think
46:15 is that what you're asking well I think
46:18 that I got the sense that the question
46:20 was basically there relate a higher
46:22 level relationship between that
46:24 potential revenue stream and the CIP yes
46:27 so that's so that's one relationship
46:30 this and and they may or may not be
46:33 linked Council did not make a decision
46:35 about that they asked for more
46:37 information and we're working on a
46:39 presentation to do that in terms of the
46:42 TBD sales tax in particular there had
46:47 been talk about putting this on the
46:49 ballot in 2020 and so we would need to
46:53 come back to the council and settle on
46:56 ballot language sometime before then it
47:00 gets wrapped up into that last
47:02 discussion because that may come earlier
47:05 it may come later so council will need
47:08 to have a discussion about what to put
47:13 on the ballot when to put it on the
47:15 ballot what the content of that ballot
47:18 measure is the CIP talks about a series
47:22 of projects that are for potential
47:24 funding from that funding source but
47:26 until it is put on the ballot
47:28 this is just to use that word again a
47:31 planning document so that would be that
47:35 would be the timing and the CIP
47:37 contemplates a 2020 ballot which would
47:41 mean the revenue would start coming in
47:43 in 2021 which is why the projects slated
47:47 for the TBD in the CIP those aren't
47:51 funded until 2021
47:53 thank you that's I think we had a couple
47:56 of questions about that and I just
47:58 wanted there to be an opportunity to
48:00 kind of clear that up for people who
48:02 don't have the stream fortune to sit
48:05 through hours and hours and hours of
48:06 presentations or thank you Thank You
48:10 councilmember Walsh followed by
48:11 councilmember hunt just another
48:13 clarification on that for the public
48:15 when we say TBD we mean transportation
48:18 benefit district and that's just really
48:20 something that says hey we need to find
48:23 a way to fund some of these
48:24 transportation projects the way that the
48:27 council has kind of moved forward with a
48:30 potential recommendation as a sales tax
48:33 so when we talk about TBD often were
48:35 kind of referring to that sales tax idea
48:38 but none of those bold decisions have
48:41 been made nor are they being made with
48:44 the CIP member hunt related so I I
48:52 wanted to clarify a point on TR 0 3 1
48:56 which is the southeast for a third
48:57 signal improvements this was one that we
48:59 also heard public comments about tonight
49:01 and in many earlier nights so that in
49:04 our current CIP that is listed as T V D
49:07 package general fund existing debt
49:10 capacity and really it is general fund
49:14 existing debt capacity and so I wondered
49:16 if you could just clarify in that case
49:19 why the funding sources listed as as T V
49:22 D package because I found that confusing
49:24 and so just to clarify that and then
49:27 also just for our for everyone's
49:32 information that is funded with general
49:34 fund existing debt capacity in 2020 and
49:36 2021
49:38 starting in 2020 in the current CIP yes
49:41 so I think we've talked about this at
49:44 previous council meetings that the
49:47 conversations on these seven unfunded
49:51 transportation projects they became
49:55 designated as projects to focus on last
49:58 August before my tenure here at the city
50:03 and the ad hoc Finance Committee was
50:06 directed to look at funding options for
50:10 those using TBD sales tax revenues
50:14 during the course of the ad hoc Finance
50:17 Committee deliberations about those and
50:19 this also was summarized to the council
50:23 I believe at a March 29th council
50:25 meeting and another one May 13th
50:28 during those deliberations determined
50:31 that there was not sufficient DVD sales
50:35 tax revenue to cover the full scope of
50:38 those projects so started looking at
50:42 existing debt service capacity as
50:45 another strategy all of those got
50:47 packaged together for continuity and to
50:52 point to the fact that that is how those
50:55 seven projects evolved and came before
50:59 the council in the CIP thank you yes
51:03 this was just a clarification because
51:05 that one in particular is not funded by
51:08 TVD sales tax counselor president Mart's
51:12 followed by councilmember Winterson
51:15 madam mayor I moved to adopt resolution
51:17 number 2019 - o7 adopting the capital
51:23 improvement plan for 2020 through 2025
51:26 including the six-year transportation
51:27 Improvement Program second it's been
51:31 moved and seconded we can still have
51:33 questions and conversation so did I see
51:37 council member is hand up yeah
51:39 council member who interesting thank you
51:41 actually going to continue just to make
51:43 a point for what it's worth I've you
51:47 what we've done is defined what we call
51:49 a transportation package
51:51 there's projects we have identified ways
51:52 to do it and then time frame to do it
51:54 it's not everything that's in the TI P
51:55 it's a subset of seven happens to be
51:58 that some of that funding may come from
52:00 bonds that we pay off the debt using a
52:03 sales tax increase as as made possible
52:07 by a TBD so we're doing it we're talking
52:11 about a transportation project package
52:13 in multiple ways
52:15 that it could be funded T V D is one of
52:18 them it is unfortunate I did see that
52:20 and I decided not to comment on it it is
52:22 unfortunate that it does say T V D
52:24 package because there isn't really not
52:25 in my mind a TV ad package there's a
52:27 transportation package and T V D is one
52:29 of the funding sources just that's the
52:31 way I think about it other comments or
52:34 questions councilmember a followed by
52:37 councilmember hen I want to do a little
52:38 further clarification on the T V D is
52:42 not a funding source T V D is a
52:44 transportation benefit district we will
52:48 go to the voters and it will be you who
52:49 will decide whether or not we are going
52:51 to do a 2.2 percent sales tax increase
52:54 one of the questions that we've wrestled
52:56 or were asked when putting together this
52:59 CIP was did we want to plan with the
53:02 assumption that that would happen and we
53:05 said yes but it's if when this goes to
53:09 you all to decide whether or not that's
53:11 something you want to do then we'll have
53:14 to take the results of that and decide
53:16 what impact that has on our capital
53:18 improvement plan so this is as the
53:21 director Goldstein's
53:22 R Goldberg has said more than once this
53:24 is a plan and and it is subject to many
53:27 changes over time so just a reminder
53:31 great clarifications as we speak though
53:35 we are speaking to each other up here
53:37 not directly to the audience so make
53:38 sure that you are addressing the mayor
53:40 addressing the council is you press on
53:42 your comments thank you unless you have
53:44 questions are there any questions or any
53:47 more comments or points of discussion
53:48 councilmember hunt I'd like to make a
53:50 motion sure so this is an amendment I
53:54 moved to direct the administration to
53:56 provide for councils consideration an
53:58 alternative CIP in which general
54:00 mitigate
54:01 and funds set to expire in 2021 would be
54:04 used to fund projects other than the FC
54:06 zero to two consolidated city offices
54:09 potentially including but not limited to
54:11 FC zero one eight
54:13 it's a quat Highlands storage site and
54:14 FC zero two zero parking building
54:17 expansion back in a second it's been
54:19 moved and seconded discussion council
54:23 member hunt followed by councilmember
54:24 Walsh part of my motivation for making
54:29 this amendment is that we just earlier
54:33 today received information that we have
54:35 four point nine seven million dollars of
54:38 mitigation general mitigation fund that
54:43 is expiring in 2021 and currently the
54:47 amount that is listed in our CIP or
54:51 using these funds for consolidated City
54:53 Hall is 4.4 approximately million so I
54:59 in discussion with the city
55:01 administrator earlier today also found
55:05 out that we have a few other projects in
55:07 the CIP that would be eligible for this
55:09 funding that includes the two that I
55:12 listed FC zero one eight is to go out
55:15 Highlands storage site an FC zero two
55:17 zero parking building expansion because
55:19 they both provide capacity and therefore
55:21 would be applicable for this source of
55:23 funding so this is new information that
55:26 I just found out I thought it was very
55:28 important to our conversation and I also
55:31 think it's very important for
55:32 transparency that we have a plan for how
55:35 to use this much money coming up so
55:38 quickly
55:39 in the events that we either do not use
55:42 all of it or do not use it for the
55:45 consolidated City Hall plan even if we
55:49 followed the CIP as it is here to to a
55:52 tee I think we would have some extra
55:54 funds so I think we need to think about
55:56 this expiring funding and then
55:59 additionally in the future years we have
56:02 expiring funding from general mitigation
56:04 that we should also take into
56:06 consideration as we do our planning
56:10 I am concerns that we haven't yet vetted
56:14 this plan with the community I'm
56:15 concerned that we have a plan to go out
56:17 to the community to discuss the
56:19 consolidated City Hall but we really
56:21 haven't yet done that engagement it's
56:23 it's 4.4 million in 2021 and then it's
56:26 setting us on a plan for potentially 40
56:29 million dollars for the for the work
56:31 this is a huge commitment and I think it
56:34 really needs to be vetted by the
56:35 community and then additionally we've
56:39 heard convincing arguments from
56:41 consultants that there are there is an
56:43 option to design-build which would be a
56:46 different process and which we would not
56:49 start until probably later than 2021
56:52 so what's represented in our CIP is a
56:54 design-bid-build
56:55 and we have been presented with
56:57 information that it would save us money
56:59 if we decided to go forward with the
57:01 City Hall if we did a different process
57:03 that wouldn't stay at start until later
57:05 so I I really think we need to know what
57:08 we can and can't do with these funds and
57:11 what we should do if it comes back that
57:13 we have a different option for funding
57:16 the City Hall if the timeline would be
57:18 different or if we should do something
57:21 different all together and so in
57:24 conclusion I think this is very cart
57:25 before the horse to have this funding in
57:27 2021 and to have that be the only option
57:30 we're presented with I just found out
57:33 about a few other options that
57:34 potentially could be applicable for this
57:36 funding and I really think we need to
57:39 have a back-up plan and an understanding
57:40 of the ripple effects that will come
57:43 from that plan as but as has been
57:45 pointed out to me many times if we make
57:47 a change in one part of the CIP it'll
57:50 change a bunch of other things so we
57:52 need to have that holistic picture of
57:54 what the CIP will look like if we chose
57:56 to use these funds in a different way
57:57 and 2021 is coming up fast and lastly
58:02 it's been pointed out many times that
58:04 this is a planning document so I think
58:05 this is exactly where we should be
58:07 thinking about the back-up plan for this
58:09 once
58:12 councilman Walsh thank you madam mayor
58:16 I very much appreciate councilmember
58:19 hunt suggesting a back-up plan
58:21 what we should always be addressing my
58:25 question there is in regards to these
58:29 two particular projects when I'm looking
58:31 at their funding sources it looks like
58:35 right now most of their funds are coming
58:38 from utility funds so water storm water
58:41 sewer fund which have their own set of
58:45 costs and revenues that should be
58:48 balanced and if I look at kind of our
58:52 general government funds for the two of
58:54 those it's about sixty three thousand
58:57 and forty seven thousand both coming out
59:00 of REIT one I believe so I'm trying to
59:03 understand how this would represent
59:08 anything more than a hundred thousand
59:10 dollars worth of additional spend of the
59:15 general mitigation funds and whether the
59:19 proposal would be to replace some of the
59:22 utility under spending which I'm not
59:27 sure makes sense okay so I'm gonna City
59:30 Administrator move to jump in here I
59:33 hear a couple of things one is a concern
59:35 which I think council has expressed for
59:38 these the or five years that I've been
59:41 around that we want to make sure that we
59:43 when we collect our mitigation fees were
59:46 able to use them and we're hearing that
59:47 again tonight that the goal is not to
59:49 have to return mitigation funds and also
59:53 the question about the replacement
59:55 projects and whether or not that would
59:57 could be could be a option to use those
1:00:01 mitigation funds fully up to the five
1:00:04 million dollars sure so those two
1:00:09 projects do you show our typical split
1:00:11 in Public Works facilities or operations
1:00:14 where we have service areas that span a
1:00:18 multitude of funds so we have what we
1:00:21 call the 30 30 30 ten split which is 30
1:00:24 percent general fund 30 percent water 30
1:00:26 percent sewer and ten percent storm that
1:00:29 is how we typically pursue projects and
1:00:32 operations that are shared across
1:00:33 multiple funds
1:00:35 when utility funds are involved so a
1:00:38 councilmember Walsh is correct there's
1:00:40 only a small portion of the project that
1:00:43 both of those projects that's shown in
1:00:46 2022 as being general fund sourced that
1:00:51 one could perhaps utilize those general
1:00:57 government building mitigation funds for
1:00:59 in lieu of Reid funds those two projects
1:01:05 we would argue our capacity enhancement
1:01:09 projects just for clarification for the
1:01:11 audience one would add Bay's parking
1:01:16 bays for equipment at Public Works the
1:01:20 portion of that might include for
1:01:21 example street sweepers which are on the
1:01:23 general fund side and then the second
1:01:26 project was a squat highland storage
1:01:28 site which would allow us to store
1:01:30 materials like sand and salt some of
1:01:34 which would be used again for street
1:01:35 operations which is general fund others
1:01:37 would be used for storm water and storm
1:01:41 funds so my a portion of that project
1:01:47 could be considered capacity maybe not
1:01:50 even that full amount that's listed for
1:01:52 the general fund if there was some
1:01:55 thought that that is those projects are
1:01:57 also covering existing deficiencies and
1:02:00 service in the future years in 2023 the
1:02:05 Kwajalein storage site does show some
1:02:08 potential expenditure from general fund
1:02:10 as well but still including that does
1:02:15 not get you to the 4.9 million that's
1:02:17 shown in general government building
1:02:19 mitigation funds so it is correct that
1:02:21 doesn't solve the issue of trying to
1:02:25 find a way to expend those funds in in
1:02:28 or by 2020 at the end of 2021 so that
1:02:32 they would not have to be returned so a
1:02:34 few things would have to happen you'd
1:02:36 have to shift those projects up in the
1:02:38 timeline and you'd have to find
1:02:39 additional projects capacity building
1:02:42 projects of which there are none
1:02:44 currently listed in the CIP most of our
1:02:47 CIP projects are maintenance taking care
1:02:50 of existing assets so this would also
1:02:52 require that between now and this time
1:02:58 next year when we develop the budget and
1:03:00 potentially make amendments to the CIP
1:03:02 that we are done in find other general
1:03:06 government capacity projects there are
1:03:08 currently not listed in the CIP that's
1:03:12 the president Mertz
1:03:15 I share councilmembers hunt
1:03:19 councilmember hunts urge to engage the
1:03:21 community on the future of city services
1:03:23 but I am gonna be opposing this
1:03:25 amendment I think if we move forward on
1:03:28 the main motion with the plan as it is
1:03:31 in place I am confident that we are
1:03:34 capable of having a robust and and
1:03:37 meaningful conversation with our
1:03:39 constituents about what we want the next
1:03:42 20 30 years of city spaces for
1:03:48 engagement with the public to look like
1:03:51 I think that I'm confident that we would
1:03:56 not spend a dime of 4.4 million dollars
1:03:59 in 2021 until that conversation had
1:04:02 occurred and a consensus had been
1:04:04 developed in the same way that we
1:04:06 developed a consensus on the street just
1:04:07 Dziedzic plan but I don't want to have
1:04:10 that conversation with the public unless
1:04:12 we have the ability to do something
1:04:14 about it I don't want to have that
1:04:15 conversation with the public if we don't
1:04:18 actually have the ability to take that
1:04:20 feedback and do something with it in a
1:04:22 timely fashion and for that to occur
1:04:23 these monies have to be in the plan it
1:04:26 this in no way forces us to do to make
1:04:31 this commitment I think this is a
1:04:33 different kind of project than 56th I
1:04:36 think if you put money in for next year
1:04:39 on 56th I think we all agree that we've
1:04:43 made an emotional commitment to what
1:04:44 we've heard from the public but what
1:04:46 we've heard on the dais and what we've
1:04:47 heard from the public about city
1:04:49 services is to have a conversation and
1:04:51 to have that conversation we have to
1:04:54 move forward with the main motion then
1:04:56 not with this amendment
1:04:57 I will say one one last thing comment
1:05:01 was made about the goal is to not return
1:05:03 mitigation funds I would say it a little
1:05:04 differently
1:05:05 I think the goal is to be able to go to
1:05:07 the public and say these mitigation
1:05:10 funds will be used wisely and I believe
1:05:14 that the city has a plan and this
1:05:16 council has expressed support for having
1:05:19 that conversation with the public such
1:05:21 that we can be look people in the eye
1:05:22 and if it comes time to authorize that
1:05:24 4.4 million ahead of a 2021 spent will
1:05:28 be well prepared to do so thank you it's
1:05:31 not councilmember Goodman's hand thank
1:05:34 you so I want to clarify or I have a
1:05:37 clarifying question so the proposed
1:05:42 amendment would be an alternative in
1:05:46 case the decision was made to not expend
1:05:51 or some million it's not - it's not to
1:05:56 displace the potential for approving
1:06:00 those the four million dollars it's just
1:06:03 and my understanding is that we would
1:06:07 embark on conversations with the public
1:06:10 about whether we are as a community
1:06:14 interested in a consolidated City Hall
1:06:17 and if that answer ends up to be no
1:06:21 right now then we need to know we need
1:06:25 to figure out what we're going to spend
1:06:26 mitigation which is a lot of mitigation
1:06:28 money on if not that what do we need
1:06:33 what are we going to spend it on before
1:06:35 we hit a deadline of ten years I'm it's
1:06:39 either seven or ten of returning it and
1:06:43 so the issue is we providing
1:06:47 transparency to the public about what
1:06:48 our plan B is it's not to displace it's
1:06:51 not to change what the plan and I'm
1:06:54 planning a plan B it's not to change
1:06:56 what the plan says now about what the
1:07:01 plan a is which is - can keep that
1:07:05 mitigation money in the plan for a
1:07:07 potential spend on city consolidated
1:07:10 City Hall
1:07:11 if we don't do that then what and that's
1:07:14 to provide transparency to the public
1:07:15 about how we would spend millions of
1:07:17 dollars what the plan is for spending
1:07:19 millions of dollars at the plan today
1:07:22 what that plan would be which of course
1:07:24 is subject to change but which we
1:07:26 haven't identified yet is that am I
1:07:28 getting that right it's a member hunt
1:07:29 that is correct so the motion is to
1:07:32 provide for councils consideration and
1:07:35 alternative CIP and part of that is that
1:07:38 we just today received information about
1:07:40 what other projects could be funded with
1:07:42 this and also how much money is expiring
1:07:44 in 2021
1:07:47 so rather than so I think rather than me
1:07:51 for example looking at FC zero twenty
1:07:54 parking building expansion and saying
1:07:55 okay so in 2023 we have to point for a
1:07:57 million dollars expended from the sewer
1:08:00 fund is that in particular line I mean
1:08:02 going through line by line rather than
1:08:03 hash that all out now because there is a
1:08:06 ripple effect and because it is a
1:08:07 complicated planning document I think
1:08:09 that we would be better served by having
1:08:12 an alternative and also be a better more
1:08:14 transparent for the for the public to
1:08:16 have a option to consider about how we
1:08:20 would be using that money so be an
1:08:22 alternative plan to consider is the
1:08:25 motion then suggesting that there would
1:08:28 be no adoption tonight and that an
1:08:30 alternative plan would return at a later
1:08:32 date for adoption that's my
1:08:33 understanding because we cannot actually
1:08:36 consider in its entirety a plan that
1:08:39 would use that funding for other
1:08:41 projects so the intent of the motion is
1:08:43 to edit the draft in front of you and
1:08:45 show the funding sources for mitigation
1:08:47 as to other projects not necessarily
1:08:52 those were the two projects that came up
1:08:54 in conversation earlier with the
1:08:56 administrator moon and I don't know if
1:08:57 there are others that could potentially
1:08:58 be funded okay hang on one second
1:09:00 administrator moon and then council
1:09:02 member a and then council member we
1:09:03 interesting thank you that's helpful
1:09:07 clarification I just want to also point
1:09:09 out council can adopt two CIPS you have
1:09:13 to adopt one so if you drop one tonight
1:09:15 and you still wish to see a plan that
1:09:19 spells out alternatives
1:09:23 if you chose to incorporate that
1:09:27 alternative plan you would amend your
1:09:29 originally adopted CIP so just can't
1:09:32 have two adopted CIP you can't have that
1:09:34 plan a CIP and Plan B CIP so I want to
1:09:38 make sure that that was clear
1:09:41 there aren't any additional capacity
1:09:43 projects on the general fund side that
1:09:45 we've identified that are in the CIP
1:09:47 currently so in order to identify other
1:09:51 projects we would we would have to have
1:09:53 significant conversation about what
1:09:55 other projects we could scope and cost
1:09:58 estimate etc and so along those lines as
1:10:02 well we are in the midst we have already
1:10:04 kicked off our operating budget and so
1:10:07 it would be helpful to understand what's
1:10:09 the timetable for returning an
1:10:11 alternative CIP because we are needing
1:10:15 to incorporate by the end of this month
1:10:18 for the operating budget preparation
1:10:21 plus our staff is needing to spend
1:10:24 majority of their time now developing
1:10:26 the operating budget so just some
1:10:28 clarification on the timeline because if
1:10:30 if if it was along the lines of what I
1:10:32 understood councilmember Goodman seen
1:10:37 monied action that alternative didn't
1:10:40 need to be reviewed until perhaps later
1:10:42 so it's it's this question of when when
1:10:46 you would plan to adopt a version of the
1:10:48 CIP use that clarification tonight
1:10:52 that's a member a so I have a couple of
1:10:56 concerns with FC 0 - - one is and I've
1:11:02 mentioned this before is why are we
1:11:05 setting aside money to do design on a
1:11:08 city hall or a city facility that we
1:11:11 don't intend to build until something
1:11:13 beyond 2026
1:11:14 so five or six years beyond when we
1:11:17 would do the design work so I understand
1:11:19 the desire to spend available mitigation
1:11:23 fees before they expire expend before
1:11:26 they expire but I don't want to get it's
1:11:30 been expend them on something that is of
1:11:32 my mind dubious value to to the
1:11:35 community so I think that it's
1:11:37 worthwhile taking the time to say Breck
1:11:41 the information that we had 4.9 million
1:11:44 dollars in mitigation fees that was due
1:11:46 to expire in 2021
1:11:48 was new information today and that that
1:11:50 really does changed the discussion so is
1:11:52 there a better place to spend that money
1:11:54 on capital and city facilities that we
1:11:58 should be considering I think that is
1:12:00 what I was taking as the intent of this
1:12:04 amendment was to say you know it's not
1:12:08 about these two small opportunities that
1:12:11 are currently in the CIP it's is there a
1:12:13 better place is there a better use of
1:12:15 the four point nine million dollars in
1:12:17 mitigation than to do design on a City
1:12:19 Hall that's five or six years away I'm
1:12:22 gonna discuss the city administrator to
1:12:24 clarify on that when you go beyond the
1:12:27 design years and it's currently showed
1:12:28 unfunded I go back to something council
1:12:31 president Mart said which was really
1:12:33 important to him was understanding and
1:12:36 going forward with a project like that
1:12:38 he'd want to know how its funded is is
1:12:41 that why those columns are blank in the
1:12:45 outer years is the intention to actually
1:12:47 design and build six years later is the
1:12:50 intention to have a conversation have a
1:12:52 funding strategy and to start to
1:12:54 populate those outer years so that we go
1:12:57 from design to construction yes the
1:13:00 latter so after the community
1:13:02 conversation and after we sort of design
1:13:05 what project do we want to pursue and we
1:13:08 have a conversation about how do we wish
1:13:10 to pursue that as a design-build
1:13:13 for example then we would populate those
1:13:16 those further out columns and decide
1:13:19 what's the appropriate year for
1:13:21 construction we had a project I'd also
1:13:24 like to clarify that City Council has
1:13:27 been provided with aging report for the
1:13:30 mitigation fund so this is not the first
1:13:32 time that council has been made aware of
1:13:34 the year in which those general
1:13:36 government building mitigation funds
1:13:39 would expire they remember that I would
1:13:42 just say for new council members in
1:13:44 their first year of a capital
1:13:45 an operating budget not all of that
1:13:47 stuff is front of mind so I think there
1:13:49 might be some council members here who
1:13:51 recognize and remember the aging
1:13:53 schedule but I would say it probably
1:13:55 wasn't particularly noticeable to
1:13:58 council member we're interesting
1:14:00 followed by deputy council president
1:14:01 batiste
1:14:02 it's actually a point of order the main
1:14:04 motion is to adopt the CIP the amendment
1:14:08 is to provide an alternative CIP and if
1:14:11 this amendment doesn't actually alter
1:14:13 any part of the motion in front of us
1:14:15 I'm not sure that the amendment is
1:14:17 appropriate if someone doesn't want the
1:14:20 current one then they should just vote
1:14:21 against it and then we can consider
1:14:23 another motion afterwards so that's a
1:14:25 question okay looking at my legislative
1:14:30 expertise might have order also not
1:14:38 meaning to put you on the spot if this
1:14:39 is a little more of a complicated
1:14:41 question than we thought we could take a
1:14:43 five-minute recess and let you convene I
1:14:49 an alternative to this could be to vote
1:14:54 down the amendment and vote down or
1:14:59 withdraw the amendment or the motion
1:15:02 that was made to approve the resolution
1:15:04 I think if the council is and the mayor
1:15:09 is agreeable to consider this germane to
1:15:12 the main motion they can you can proceed
1:15:15 to consider it so if there could be a
1:15:18 ruling that it's not if you wanted to
1:15:20 rise that point or you could proceed to
1:15:25 consider it so we have options and I'm
1:15:32 looking to the body to decide I can as a
1:15:38 mayor express where the clerk's
1:15:41 interpretation where I feel whether or
1:15:43 not it's germane or not but I would
1:15:44 really rather have the body decide how
1:15:46 to work on this on themselves
1:15:48 councilmember we're interesting well
1:15:49 thank you for allowing me to follow up
1:15:51 it seems the intent is to actually do
1:15:55 something
1:15:56 structurally different than what's in
1:15:58 front of us and I think an amendment
1:16:00 should reflect those changes I'm hearing
1:16:03 that maybe we don't have enough
1:16:04 information to put something like that
1:16:05 together and so I think it's either III
1:16:12 really don't
1:16:13 it doesn't feel germane to me this is a
1:16:15 proposal it says it was and we have it
1:16:17 in written form it was passed out to us
1:16:19 at a time that that provide an
1:16:24 alternative CIP and and so unless we can
1:16:32 ride that as amendment to the one in
1:16:34 front of us tonight and I don't see how
1:16:36 this is germane that's the president
1:16:39 merits comes member good man madam mayor
1:16:43 I would recommend that we take that
1:16:46 five-minute recess I think that a point
1:16:49 of order requires a ruling by the person
1:16:53 chairing the community at which point
1:16:56 there are options available to counsel
1:16:58 if they disagree or does it agree or
1:17:00 disagree with that ruling let's do a
1:17:02 five-minute recess okay thanks so we
1:17:05 will be in recess for five minutes
1:25:24 so we are back in session from our
1:25:27 recess I have consulted with the
1:25:29 parliamentarian expertise that we have
1:25:31 available tonight I want to thank
1:25:33 councilmember winter Stein for his
1:25:35 question actually it is a good question
1:25:37 the amendment that was proposed acts as
1:25:42 a substitute motion meaning there would
1:25:45 be a different outcome if you vote on it
1:25:46 so this is a multi-part vote on the
1:25:49 amendment the first vote that I will
1:25:51 call for after you are done with your
1:25:53 discussion and deliberation is a vote of
1:25:57 the council on whether or not you want
1:25:59 to vote on the substitute motion if that
1:26:02 vote were to fail we will go back to the
1:26:05 main motion you will continue
1:26:06 conversation if that vote is too fat to
1:26:08 pass we will vote on the substitute
1:26:11 motion which would be to prepare an
1:26:14 alternate alternate CIP that is a little
1:26:17 unusual for us I don't remember doing
1:26:20 this before I just want to understand if
1:26:24 there has been enough discussion and
1:26:26 deliberation that you know that you want
1:26:28 to proceed to the vote now or you feel
1:26:30 like you want to talk about this some
1:26:32 that's a member Walsh so as a question
1:26:37 on this and now the four point four
1:26:42 million right now is designated for a
1:26:45 consolidated City Hall if we had a
1:26:48 community conversation and the community
1:26:52 said strongly we would like to continue
1:26:55 with multiple locations we're still
1:26:58 gonna need expansion so could we use any
1:27:02 of that money potentially for working on
1:27:07 design and expansion of the existing
1:27:12 buildings and could we do that in 2021
1:27:15 with the general mitigation funds
1:27:18 question mr. moon
1:27:23 yes we could I'm a little unclear and
1:27:27 maybe city attorney can help clarify if
1:27:29 we're entertaining comments right now on
1:27:31 this on whether to consider the
1:27:33 substitute motion or we talking about
1:27:38 the actual replacement motion so at this
1:27:44 point in time that's a good point at
1:27:45 this point in time yeah
1:27:48 actually I gotta say I'm a little
1:27:50 confused about that too because I think
1:27:52 some of what Lindsay is asking is
1:27:54 germane to whether or not she may even
1:27:55 want to vote on a substitute so that's
1:27:57 definitely that's tough enough I saw the
1:28:00 city attorney nods okay just to make
1:28:02 sure we're following the procedure yes
1:28:05 Billy answer as long as those
1:28:09 renovations to existing facilities were
1:28:11 of the nature to create capacity then we
1:28:14 could utilize general government
1:28:15 building mitigation funds for those
1:28:16 projects okay
1:28:18 and a second question some of the other
1:28:22 projects listed here and potentially
1:28:26 other capacity building projects that
1:28:29 might be identified at another time if
1:28:32 those come up after we adopt a CIP could
1:28:37 they potentially use general mitigation
1:28:41 funds which I assume would require an
1:28:44 amendment to the CIP that's correct we
1:28:47 would propose to come back with an
1:28:48 amendment to the CIP and then identify
1:28:51 those funding sources okay thank you the
1:28:54 questions comments if he counts the
1:28:57 president patís so I we had talked a
1:29:02 couple times about not right right as
1:29:06 right now we don't have capacity
1:29:08 building projects identified I was just
1:29:12 wondering if I could learn a little bit
1:29:14 more about that is there is there a
1:29:17 reason that we don't have anything
1:29:19 identified right now but there are
1:29:21 things in the queue or I just wanted to
1:29:24 to better understand that sure I would
1:29:28 anticipate that we have some projects in
1:29:30 the future years we spend most of our
1:29:32 time trying to plan on the first six
1:29:34 years of the CIP but if you turn to for
1:29:36 example
1:29:37 the parks strategic plan I think there
1:29:39 are some potential projects into the
1:29:41 future that were identified in the park
1:29:44 strategic plan that are capacity
1:29:45 building projects that our strategic
1:29:50 plan identified not as a near-term
1:29:52 project but a longer-term project only
1:29:56 the near term projects are reflected in
1:29:58 this draft CIP I'll give you an example
1:30:02 we have spoken about the potential to
1:30:06 add on to the bone pool to add a another
1:30:14 meeting room party room swim team room
1:30:20 that would generate a capacity
1:30:24 enhancement and I would expect that
1:30:27 project to then be eligible for
1:30:29 mitigation funds so we've had some
1:30:31 conversation those projects are not
1:30:33 shown in the CIP currently so the
1:30:36 projects that are listed for those first
1:30:38 six years as I spoke about earlier the
1:30:41 only two that I see as being potentially
1:30:44 eligible for mitigation funds are those
1:30:48 two projects they answer your question
1:30:51 yeah I think so then I just had a
1:30:55 clarification that I wanted to address
1:30:59 the council member hunt so I can better
1:31:02 understand because we do in the the
1:31:05 language for the motion we do have it
1:31:07 you do have it listed as an alternative
1:31:09 CIP but then it also talks about would
1:31:13 be used to fund projects other than and
1:31:17 I just want to make sure that the intent
1:31:21 was additive to we've got the 4.4 and a
1:31:25 million and we're trying to look for
1:31:27 additional projects that could be could
1:31:32 be dealt with so the intent is to
1:31:35 understand first of all what which
1:31:39 projects could potentially be moved into
1:31:43 frame or that money could be encumbered
1:31:46 in the time frame it would need to be
1:31:47 encumbered in which projects would be
1:31:50 eligible for that and then also to
1:31:51 understand the ripple effects in terms
1:31:53 of what that would do to the rest of the
1:31:56 CIP if it were if it were funded
1:32:00 differently because it has been pointed
1:32:03 out to us many times that it's very
1:32:06 complicated and you make one change one
1:32:08 place and it changes many other many
1:32:11 other things that I think it would allow
1:32:13 us for more options and then I think in
1:32:17 regards to if it's purely the I guess
1:32:21 0.5 million that is a half a million in
1:32:25 addition to what's currently in the plan
1:32:27 or if it's the entire amount I am
1:32:30 interested in seeing which projects are
1:32:33 eligible to be moved into that time
1:32:35 frame and if it turns out that that's
1:32:36 only the amount in above 4.4 million so
1:32:42 if it is less than 0.5 then I think it
1:32:44 makes sense that we don't have anything
1:32:46 else identified but if it were that
1:32:49 there are other projects that are in
1:32:50 there and I still don't have a good
1:32:52 understanding of that then I want to
1:32:53 know what our options are and I think
1:32:55 it's a bigger conversation and I'd
1:32:57 rather have all that information to make
1:32:58 a to make a good decision questions
1:33:06 comments council president Mertz
1:33:09 I'm confused the alternate CIP in which
1:33:17 general mitigation funds set to expire
1:33:19 in 2021 would be used to fund projects
1:33:22 other than fc0 to - but you're saying
1:33:26 that in your alternate version fc0 - -
1:33:29 would still be in or would not be in if
1:33:33 they're so
1:33:35 I do not have a complete understanding
1:33:38 of which projects aside from the two
1:33:41 that I listed I don't have an
1:33:43 understanding if there are other
1:33:44 projects that would be able to be funded
1:33:46 or to have money from this fund
1:33:49 encumbered in 2021 so I would like to
1:33:52 have that information it sounds to me
1:33:54 like it's possible that it's less than
1:33:59 0.5 million of other projects that are
1:34:01 currently identified in which case I
1:34:03 think it makes sense in that alternative
1:34:05 CIP to fund other projects with the
1:34:08 mitigation funds in the amount of less
1:34:11 than 0.5 million and then also keep FC 0
1:34:14 2 2 in the plan I mean I think that
1:34:16 makes sense because we don't have other
1:34:19 capacity projects in there but I also
1:34:21 need to have that information and this
1:34:23 is in my estimation my best way of
1:34:27 getting that information and looking at
1:34:28 a CIP that is funding that is using this
1:34:31 mitigation funds for capacity building
1:34:33 projects in 2021
1:34:38 deputy council president patís so I
1:34:42 guess my question is if we are to go
1:34:47 forward with the main motion and we have
1:34:51 the funds that we've identified in 2021
1:34:54 that are focused on the consolidated
1:34:56 City Hall but then we have more more
1:35:02 money than that that has to do with
1:35:05 impact fees that are expiring in that
1:35:07 case if we don't have anything
1:35:10 identified is is would it be something
1:35:14 where those would then come forward that
1:35:17 we at that time or I'm coming to trying
1:35:22 to mr. moon
1:35:24 thank you so we have employee to figure
1:35:30 out exactly how much is needed for
1:35:32 design because we don't know what we're
1:35:34 designing yet so that even that 4.4 is
1:35:37 not likely to be spot-on to what would
1:35:41 be needed we need to scope that project
1:35:44 first
1:35:46 if after scoping a project that council
1:35:51 concurred with we had not identified
1:35:56 full utilization of the 4.9 million
1:35:58 dollars then it is highly likely that
1:36:01 city administration would come back and
1:36:03 say okay there's an increment that still
1:36:05 hasn't been allocated to projects and we
1:36:08 would identify a couple other projects
1:36:10 that could potentially use those
1:36:12 mitigation funds for your consideration
1:36:18 councilmember Goodman thank you so I
1:36:21 just wanted to be clear on if the
1:36:26 amendment passed or if the substance is
1:36:31 get past it what it would come back
1:36:34 would be a revised CIP that then would
1:36:41 give the council two options from which
1:36:45 to choose the original proposed CIP and
1:36:47 an alternate no it would just be to come
1:36:53 back with and so then if the council at
1:36:56 that future time let's say it was a
1:36:59 added on to a meeting or special meeting
1:37:01 decided against that new proposed
1:37:06 alternative CIP in would we have to go
1:37:09 back again and revise come back so if
1:37:15 the what is the is is a hearing required
1:37:21 to amend the CIP later on we amend the
1:37:28 CIP what's the process
1:37:33 I believe a hearing is required before
1:37:36 council takes action to adopt the CIP
1:37:39 amend yes I would I would expect if
1:37:43 taking action to amend the CIP not just
1:37:47 a a particular project but the CIP and
1:37:50 you would hold a public hearing and so
1:37:53 if the council decided to not
1:37:56 appropriate for whatever a million
1:37:58 dollars or designing a City Hall my
1:38:02 understanding is that we're talking
1:38:04 about design but we're skipping the very
1:38:05 when we're talking tonight we're short
1:38:07 cutting our conversation there would
1:38:09 have to be a community conversation a
1:38:12 significant community conversation about
1:38:14 whether the community is interested in
1:38:16 this then if the council decides based
1:38:18 on that to appropriate the money and
1:38:20 decides against that and so then we have
1:38:23 to figure out what we're going to spend
1:38:24 that money on in order for us to amend
1:38:26 the CIP just spend that mitigation money
1:38:30 on projects that are in that that we
1:38:32 need to amend it to include those
1:38:34 projects to make sure that we have them
1:38:35 in the right years it would it would
1:38:38 require a public hearing I believe so
1:38:44 mr. Haney yes that is correct
1:38:49 it would require a public hearing to
1:38:51 amend the CIP that's a member Walsh so
1:38:57 similar on that vein if we were to adopt
1:39:02 the alternative motion whatever it is
1:39:07 which would present us another CIP we
1:39:12 would have to have the public hearing on
1:39:13 that as well let's present Mertz so I
1:39:19 would like to ask the administration if
1:39:22 we adopt the alternate motion this
1:39:26 evening we would not be adopting a CIP
1:39:29 this evening and can the administration
1:39:32 can please speak to that the implicate
1:39:36 the timing implications for the fall
1:39:40 budget of delaying this vote this
1:39:42 evening I think
1:39:44 really speaking considering we'd have to
1:39:46 have notification for a public hearing
1:39:48 we would be trying to fit that on before
1:39:50 the end of June July so we need to have
1:39:55 the information by the end of July to
1:39:56 feed into the operating budget so we
1:39:58 would be as councilmember Goodman said
1:40:00 looking for a special meeting or an
1:40:02 add-on to a meeting
1:40:03 however we could do that and meet our
1:40:05 notification requirements but there's
1:40:10 the sorry fallen but that isn't just it
1:40:14 isn't like we have a bill this evening
1:40:17 that we would be noticing right there
1:40:18 would be staff work and the question is
1:40:21 how much staff work to prepare this
1:40:23 alternate CIP the administrator moon I
1:40:26 would just expect we would have to table
1:40:30 much of the work that we have on our
1:40:33 plates right now in order to have a
1:40:34 conversation about what other projects
1:40:37 are out there in somebody's mind for
1:40:42 contemplation because again there are
1:40:44 only two projects other projects that
1:40:46 are identified in the currency IP that
1:40:48 are eligible so we would have to start
1:40:51 back where we started this spring or
1:40:55 february even with some department
1:40:59 conversations about what other projects
1:41:01 are they foreseen beyond six years and
1:41:06 even what we put in the future year's
1:41:08 column that might be capacity projects
1:41:10 that we could scope lightly scope
1:41:15 lightly cost estimate and bring back to
1:41:20 you in that alternative CIP so I don't I
1:41:23 don't have a good sense of how much
1:41:26 effort that would take I think some
1:41:28 departments are in better position than
1:41:29 others like Parks Department has already
1:41:32 identified those long-term projects they
1:41:34 can probably pull some of those out
1:41:35 relatively quickly but that's only one
1:41:38 area of general government operations so
1:41:42 I I would expect it will be very
1:41:44 challenging for us to present a prepare
1:41:47 and present an alternative CIP within
1:41:50 the next in days of the month if we had
1:41:55 time perhaps we could do that but again
1:41:58 that puts jeopardy our timetables for
1:42:01 preparing the operating budget so
1:42:05 something would have to give on the
1:42:07 operating budget which would mean
1:42:08 probably extending that adoption period
1:42:12 as well
1:42:13 what's my beret so I'm just gonna look
1:42:15 ahead a little bit so let's say we adopt
1:42:19 the CIP as presented and I understand
1:42:22 it's planning document so in 2020
1:42:27 sometime we would be working on the 2021
1:42:29 budget and we would see then a line item
1:42:32 for four point three two point whatever
1:42:34 whatever the number is we decide it's
1:42:36 going to be at that time to fund this
1:42:38 particular initiative so if at that time
1:42:41 we say yes that's what we're going to do
1:42:43 then we move ahead and it moves forward
1:42:45 in the budget for the 2021 if we for
1:42:50 whatever reason decide we don't want to
1:42:52 then do we need to amend the CIP at that
1:42:56 time or do we just say no that's not
1:42:58 something we want to do in the 2020 2021
1:43:01 budget I you would say both you would
1:43:04 say bring back amendments to the CIP so
1:43:07 that we could designate use of those
1:43:08 expiring funds and you would be giving
1:43:12 direction on what to prepare and put
1:43:14 into the operating budget for 2021 I
1:43:17 also want to clarify that it is our goal
1:43:20 to bring back those conversations in
1:43:22 advance of the operating budget
1:43:25 deliberations we know you will need more
1:43:27 time to process input from the community
1:43:29 and kind of decide your course of action
1:43:32 on this major project so we want to we
1:43:34 want to try to bring that right at the
1:43:36 same moment that you are considering the
1:43:38 operating budget so if we adopt the CIP
1:43:40 is presented today we still have
1:43:43 opportunities to
1:43:47 redirect a guide to tailor to tune this
1:43:52 discussion that's correct
1:43:54 thank you any other questions or
1:43:59 comments
1:44:00 Oh councilmember Goodman I think I'm
1:44:04 done for done with the questions first
1:44:06 of all I want to I know how I know what
1:44:10 I'm going to do here and I want to thank
1:44:12 councilmember hunt for raising this
1:44:15 issue and I think it's not only the
1:44:19 newer councilmembers that didn't have
1:44:21 the mitigation fees expiration timelines
1:44:28 on their minds when we were looking at
1:44:29 the Central District kua plan sorry I
1:44:31 think that you know some of us have been
1:44:37 up here a few years and and that was on
1:44:39 top of mine for me either and I think
1:44:41 this was a great conversation I think
1:44:43 it's raised a lot of questions I also
1:44:45 see that we have a potential issue
1:44:49 brewing in the future a couple of them
1:44:51 one is how the community feels about a
1:44:54 consolidated City Hall which of course
1:44:56 we don't know and the second one is
1:44:59 we've got some mitigation monies that
1:45:01 we're going to need to spend or lose and
1:45:03 so we need to have those conversations I
1:45:05 am satisfied that we have an opportunity
1:45:13 to involve the public later on in
1:45:19 amending the CIP if we need to with the
1:45:23 hearing process and it doesn't just have
1:45:25 to be one or two hearings I mean we have
1:45:27 work sessions so I I'm not I'm not going
1:45:35 to support the proposal but it's not
1:45:39 because I don't super super
1:45:41 respect the fact that the issues were
1:45:43 raised and I really really appreciate it
1:45:44 Thank You deputy council president patís
1:45:48 thank you madam mayor I
1:45:50 I'm just going to echo a bit of what
1:45:53 councilmember Goodman just talked about
1:45:55 I think that councilmember hunt raised
1:45:58 some really important questions and we
1:46:01 had a really great conversation about a
1:46:04 lot of things that are gonna be coming
1:46:06 forward in the future but I and I think
1:46:09 it's really important that we not lose
1:46:11 the general government building
1:46:13 mitigation funds I I had asked a
1:46:17 question about what would happen if if
1:46:20 we went forward and then would we have
1:46:23 another opportunity to take a look at
1:46:26 that if we had extra funds available and
1:46:30 being able to look at other projects but
1:46:32 more than that I know we'll have other
1:46:34 opportunities and and more importantly
1:46:37 compute community engagement so we can
1:46:39 better understand how the community is
1:46:41 feeling and can redirect if if needed so
1:46:46 for that reason I will be voting against
1:46:48 this but but I do very much appreciate
1:46:51 the conversation I think was a really
1:46:53 great question that's a member winters
1:46:56 time thank you madam mayor
1:46:57 I also appreciate the conversation
1:47:00 wanted everybody to know I've been I've
1:47:02 had the opportunity to take a look at
1:47:04 the capital facility plan from two years
1:47:06 ago and it does have future projects in
1:47:08 it and there are a couple of note in
1:47:11 there the whole municipal facilities
1:47:14 plan from five years ago had sixty four
1:47:17 million dollars total both in the near
1:47:19 the first five years and then the out
1:47:21 years is all total of sixty four two of
1:47:24 them constituted fifty seven million
1:47:26 dollars and neither of them was
1:47:28 consolidated city facilities they were
1:47:30 second phase of a Community Hall
1:47:31 Community Center and in an expansion of
1:47:34 the Aquatic Center I tell you that
1:47:39 because I realized boy any alternative
1:47:41 to what's in our current one is going to
1:47:43 have to bring that information into
1:47:45 consideration and my reason for not
1:47:50 wanting to consider an alternative CIP
1:47:55 today so I'm going to be against the the
1:47:58 who's that I think this is actually kind
1:48:02 of a mess and it's going to be a very
1:48:05 big distraction and I don't want it to
1:48:07 be hurried to fit a near-term schedule
1:48:10 commitments that we've made I think it's
1:48:12 going to be it's an important topic
1:48:14 that's going to need more time rather
1:48:16 than rushing it in this July or August
1:48:18 timeframe thank you
1:48:22 other council members that's a member
1:48:26 had well I will be in support of the
1:48:30 motion I made but I also wanted to just
1:48:33 say whether or not this passes I think
1:48:36 it's really important that we get the
1:48:38 information about what projects would be
1:48:40 eligible for these funds looking at
1:48:42 historically what we said we would do
1:48:44 for capacity whether it dropped off the
1:48:45 list or not and I think it's important
1:48:48 that we get that information and I
1:48:50 whether or not this passes I think it's
1:48:52 important that we see the ripple effects
1:48:53 through the CIP and part of my reason
1:48:55 for doing this motion is that I based on
1:48:59 the amount of work etc that it is I
1:49:01 haven't been able to see that yet so I
1:49:04 think it's very important for our
1:49:06 decision making to be able to see that
1:49:08 thank you
1:49:10 any other comments so the first vote
1:49:14 looking over at my parliamentarians is
1:49:17 to whether or not you want to consider
1:49:20 the amendment which is actually a
1:49:22 substitute motion so you're not voting
1:49:25 on the substitute motion you are just
1:49:26 voting on whether or not you want to
1:49:28 consider it
1:49:29 are there any questions or
1:49:31 clarifications required and when we're
1:49:32 voting on you see Goodman councilmember
1:49:38 Goodman acquisitive look at our
1:49:43 quizzical look on your face
1:49:47 well I guess I would consider is an
1:49:51 interesting word because if I say no
1:49:54 then it kind of tends to not lend any
1:49:57 credibility to what was raised and I am
1:50:00 conflicted about that that's why and I
1:50:02 thank you for that I think that's one of
1:50:04 the reasons why the clerk had said there
1:50:06 were several ways
1:50:10 sorry Jim go ahead I think the proper
1:50:14 way to consider this is that the first
1:50:18 motion is whether or not you wish to
1:50:20 substitute the motion that councilmember
1:50:24 hunt has made for the original motion
1:50:26 that was on the floor and it still is on
1:50:29 the floor to adopt the CIP as presented
1:50:33 so if your vote on the initial motion is
1:50:38 to substitute is in favor of the
1:50:42 substitution then that changes the
1:50:45 motion on the floor to what
1:50:46 councilmember hunt has proposed it it
1:50:50 and then if you if the vote is not to
1:50:53 substitute that that leaves on the floor
1:50:56 the current motion to adopt the CIP as
1:51:00 presented order how how is it possible
1:51:10 that we could vote in favor of a
1:51:13 substitute motion and then go back to
1:51:15 the original no at me what I'm saying is
1:51:17 that the first motion is in the first
1:51:21 vote is simply whether to substitute
1:51:24 councilmember hunts motion for the
1:51:26 existing motion on the floor if that
1:51:28 passes then the motion that is on the
1:51:31 floor becomes councilmember hunts
1:51:33 substitute substitute motion and the
1:51:37 current motion of for which is to adopt
1:51:39 the CIP as presented no longer is on the
1:51:42 floor if councilmember hunts motion if
1:51:46 the motion to substitute fails then the
1:51:50 motion that is on the floor is the
1:51:52 current motion which is to pass the CIPS
1:51:55 present though I'm calling for the vote
1:52:00 on whether or not to substitute the
1:52:02 motion you're not voting on the motion
1:52:05 itself you're voting on whether or not
1:52:06 you want to substitute what
1:52:08 councilmember hunt has proposed yep okay
1:52:11 so I don't think it's likely but so if
1:52:13 we voted to consider the substitute
1:52:16 motion
1:52:16 then we considered the substitute motion
1:52:18 and building on that that and it failed
1:52:20 then what the clerk can the clerk can go
1:52:26 through that but I'm guessing that
1:52:28 you'll have the ability to vote on
1:52:30 another motion I'm sorry
1:52:32 you'll have the ability to vote on
1:52:33 another motion I don't do not believe
1:52:35 that it ends the process and now we're
1:52:37 done and stuck I think there's a right
1:52:40 but what we need to have a motion again
1:52:42 to approve the CIP as as presented
1:52:45 initially so we would make the same
1:52:47 initial motion okay you don't know okay
1:52:55 so we are voting on your you are voting
1:52:59 on whether or not to consider the
1:53:00 substitute motion and if you do there
1:53:04 will be a vote on it and if you don't we
1:53:06 will go back to the main motion
1:53:07 all in favor of considering the
1:53:09 substitute substitute motion say Aye and
1:53:12 raise your hands I thank you all those
1:53:15 opposed the substitute motion or the
1:53:19 amendment fails and we are back to the
1:53:21 main motion which is to prove the CIP is
1:53:24 there any more discussion before we I
1:53:26 call for the vote on that councilmember
1:53:28 hunt have another I would like to make
1:53:31 another motion I moved to add the
1:53:34 following to the end of the project
1:53:35 summary of PK 0 45 Creek corridor in the
1:53:38 CIP and the wording to add is project
1:53:42 scope may include improvements to this
1:53:44 corridor as well as acquisition second
1:53:48 it's been moved and seconded to add the
1:53:51 following to the end of project summary
1:53:53 PK o 45 Creek quarter and the CIP did
1:53:56 you have a page number on that one as
1:53:58 well Vicki I don't project scope may
1:54:00 include improvements 6aq
1:54:02 to this corridor as well as acquisitions
1:54:03 of the CIP Mississippi is there
1:54:06 discussion thank you so one can one
1:54:13 concern I have with the CIP is that in
1:54:16 the process of recommending changes
1:54:19 through our work sessions we we found
1:54:23 that one of the ripple effects was
1:54:24 passed 2021 all of the
1:54:27 funding identified for Creekside Creek
1:54:30 and hillside and critical areas
1:54:34 acquisition was removed so there are not
1:54:37 funding sources identified for these
1:54:38 things beyond 2021 so this is a concern
1:54:42 I had and one in looking through the CIP
1:54:46 one potential remedy would be I think to
1:54:53 add this wording to the PK 0:45 I did
1:54:57 consult with Jeff Watling so this is a
1:55:01 this is a project that involves
1:55:02 connecting the corridor of the
1:55:06 Creek and I think it's a natural fit
1:55:09 that that may require acquisition so it
1:55:12 seems like a natural fit to me and I did
1:55:14 consult with Jeff Watling or parks
1:55:16 director he said he said PK 12 and PK 32
1:55:22 represent to represent two broad
1:55:25 acquisition priorities hillside
1:55:26 acquisitions and Valley Creek
1:55:28 acquisitions and strategies that came
1:55:29 out of the park strategic plan and he
1:55:31 needed acquisitions to help accomplish
1:55:33 PK 45 a development focused project
1:55:35 where a plan to come from PK 12 and
1:55:37 acquisition focused project that said I
1:55:39 don't have a major concern about adding
1:55:42 that one census we create 45 as a
1:55:43 planning document that the CIP is it
1:55:45 does give some additional flexibility in
1:55:48 terms of looking at these later years
1:55:50 later year long-range projects either
1:55:52 way there will be a great deal of
1:55:54 further community and policy discussion
1:55:56 needed before any actual properties are
1:55:58 purchased or phases of that future
1:56:00 project completed and one additional
1:56:03 fact is that that project currently has
1:56:06 read one funding and it is funded so
1:56:09 this would be a way that we could
1:56:11 potentially fund acquisition and show
1:56:13 that we have dedicated funding that
1:56:14 could be used for acquisition for Creek
1:56:17 properties to connect our green spaces
1:56:19 in the future thank you
1:56:23 I just want to check in with the city
1:56:24 administration and make sure that adding
1:56:27 that language for acquisitions is fine
1:56:30 using the REIT 1 and mitigation that
1:56:33 there's no concern adding that language
1:56:34 sure city administration doesn't have
1:56:36 any concern with that in that language
1:56:38 however said
1:56:39 I also want to emphasize that peak a45
1:56:43 Creek corridor is meant to be more of a
1:56:46 active recreation type project where the
1:56:50 other acquisition projects that were
1:56:52 shown in the CIP are meant to be more
1:56:54 passive recreation so the purposes of
1:56:59 those acquisitions is a little different
1:57:01 it's a habitat it's open space
1:57:03 dedication I just want to make sure that
1:57:05 it's understood the scope of this
1:57:06 project is a little bit different but
1:57:09 the flexibility it not opposed to that I
1:57:14 don't look you additional comments or
1:57:16 discussion my customer Walsh could you
1:57:19 reread the addition I want to clarify
1:57:22 whether or not it's saying instead of or
1:57:26 motion to add the following to the end
1:57:29 of the project summary of PK o 45 Creek
1:57:31 quarter and the CIP project scope may
1:57:34 include improvements to this corridor as
1:57:36 well as our positions it sounds like
1:57:38 it's added tip language thank you any
1:57:41 other comments or discussion ready for
1:57:45 the vote on the amendment I'm not gonna
1:57:49 read it cuz I just read it two seconds
1:57:51 ago all those in favor of the amendment
1:57:52 say aye
1:57:53 as opposed it carries unanimously
1:57:56 is there any other additional discussion
1:57:59 additional motion and amendments okay if
1:58:06 there's none then I'll call for the vote
1:58:08 on the main motion at a mere there
1:58:12 council member we interesting this is a
1:58:14 comment on the main motion to adopt the
1:58:15 CIP and here it now there there are
1:58:20 significant changes in this one in front
1:58:22 of us compared to what was originally
1:58:24 proposed and what I think everybody
1:58:28 who's involved with driving some of
1:58:30 those including Mayor Polly or you and
1:58:32 your staff as well I know that there
1:58:34 were certain things that you proposed
1:58:35 that you really wanted done a certain
1:58:38 way and the council and I know with a
1:58:41 lot of support from the community around
1:58:43 a certain project like yeah no let's
1:58:45 fund this with our cash on hand as
1:58:48 opposed to trying to borrow some money
1:58:50 to do the project for
1:58:51 43rd Street intersection so I do
1:58:55 appreciate that collaborate
1:58:56 collaboration that cooperation I think
1:58:58 this definitely reflects the input from
1:59:00 a lot of people but as I think as we
1:59:02 just learned that you know it's still
1:59:05 there's still questions there's still
1:59:07 other information that people want out
1:59:09 your information what do we really do
1:59:12 about mitigation so it's it's going to
1:59:14 be continued to go and be an ongoing
1:59:15 process but I do appreciate the the
1:59:18 cooperation and the fully collaborative
1:59:21 effort that we just went through and I
1:59:24 last comment I wanted to make is earlier
1:59:26 finance director talked about this being
1:59:29 our intended plans and I know it's a
1:59:33 small little world word it's a nuanced I
1:59:36 can't I tend to think of a CIP as our
1:59:39 hoped for plans I think of a CIP as a
1:59:41 wish list it's not what we intend to do
1:59:44 nobody in their right mind would sign up
1:59:46 for hundreds of millions of dollars or
1:59:48 projects that they really have no idea
1:59:49 how they're gonna pay for them it really
1:59:51 is a wish list I think going forward and
1:59:54 likely I'll never be involved with a
1:59:57 capital plan again
1:59:58 as sitting up on this dais that that
2:00:02 moving forward I think a better
2:00:05 alignment between what we hope for what
2:00:09 we wish for and what's actually doable
2:00:12 is is guides the formation of future
2:00:16 plans or some other criteria to put them
2:00:20 together I know that staff does some
2:00:21 scoring and and we spend a lot of time
2:00:23 looking at that two years ago but I
2:00:27 think I think it's it's difficult for
2:00:31 any organization whether it be your home
2:00:33 whether it be a company whether it be
2:00:35 you know a business or government to
2:00:39 really manage the expectations of
2:00:42 stakeholders when you put something
2:00:44 together like this that has so big and
2:00:46 yet we cannot see a way to attain all of
2:00:49 that I just think that we have to be a
2:00:53 little bit more pragmatic and what we
2:00:55 put together thank you thank you we
2:00:58 didn't really else like me coming
2:00:59 counselor ever had
2:01:00 and so I have a couple concerns about
2:01:03 the CIP as it stands one is about the
2:01:07 consolidated City Hall funding and the
2:01:09 ends the fact that I think we have been
2:01:12 presented with information that makes it
2:01:14 seem very likely that our best our if we
2:01:18 were to proceed with the City Hall the
2:01:21 funding option that would ultimately
2:01:22 save us money would be a funding
2:01:25 strategy that would not be likely to
2:01:27 start in 2021 so I have some major
2:01:28 concerns about that and I have major
2:01:32 concerns that I don't feel it's been
2:01:33 vetted with the community and it looks
2:01:35 in my mind it looks like we're planning
2:01:38 to go ahead with it I I also have a
2:01:43 concern about the acquisitions I think
2:01:44 going forward we should be a city that
2:01:49 makes sure that we have funding into the
2:01:51 future for acquisition because we're
2:01:53 growing really fast and our open spaces
2:01:55 are a huge part of the character of the
2:01:57 city so going forward I would like to
2:02:00 make sure that that's not the thing that
2:02:01 gets sacrificed for lack of a better
2:02:05 word when we make changes in other parts
2:02:06 of the CIP which appears to be what
2:02:08 happens this year so that is another
2:02:11 major concern I have I am going to vote
2:02:16 in support and my reason is because I
2:02:20 think there are a number of projects
2:02:22 that we've heard so much from the
2:02:23 community about and so I I wouldn't want
2:02:26 my vote to be construed that I don't
2:02:28 support going forward with those
2:02:30 projects and there's many of those in
2:02:31 the near future so that's that I have
2:02:35 major concerns and I would like a lot
2:02:36 more information and I think I will be
2:02:39 bringing forward changes in the future
2:02:44 council president Mertz thank you madam
2:02:47 mayor this has been a long process
2:02:51 I'm gonna guess 16 months I think since
2:02:54 ad hoc Finance Committee first started
2:02:57 meeting to discuss discuss this topic
2:03:01 there's been a lot of feedback from the
2:03:04 community about taxes and how we spend
2:03:07 our money there will be I suspect more
2:03:10 conversations about
2:03:12 we're how we get our money and how we
2:03:15 spend our money but I hope that people
2:03:20 see that this council has taken both
2:03:23 feedback from the community and
2:03:25 commitments that have been made in some
2:03:29 cases but long before any of us were on
2:03:31 this dais although not before some
2:03:33 people were in Development Commission
2:03:35 taking that seriously and that we take
2:03:38 seriously and are careful and prudent
2:03:41 about how we make investments and that
2:03:44 we will continue in our discussion with
2:03:46 the public to bring things forward
2:03:48 prudently and carefully I will prudently
2:03:51 and carefully support this measure this
2:03:54 evening Thank You councilmember Goodman
2:03:57 yeah I think this is the most public
2:04:02 involvement we've had with a capital
2:04:04 improvement plan since I've been on the
2:04:06 council since 2011 and so I think this
2:04:09 roof that this plan reflects that
2:04:13 involvement and for that I'm very
2:04:15 appreciative and I think all the folks
2:04:16 who took the time out to tell us how you
2:04:18 feel about this plan and the projects
2:04:21 that are in it and I will support it any
2:04:25 other comments very good deputy council
2:04:27 president batise thank you madam mayor
2:04:29 so it you know the the CIP is a
2:04:34 complicated planning document and it's
2:04:37 been a I think a particularly
2:04:39 complicated planning year we had so many
2:04:43 important capital projects as we always
2:04:46 do we did get a lot of great community
2:04:49 engagement as you heard us discuss
2:04:52 tonight there are definitely projects
2:04:54 where we want to focus and have more
2:04:56 community engagement and I look forward
2:04:58 to that
2:05:00 just like with any budget process that
2:05:02 you go through our pre budget process as
2:05:04 you're doing strategic planning
2:05:06 identifying the funding sources as
2:05:08 always really the the tough part and
2:05:12 with all the really important
2:05:13 transportation projects that we had that
2:05:16 that that in particular I think that
2:05:19 just you know took it took so much
2:05:22 thought but I'm
2:05:23 I'm happy about where we've landed I
2:05:26 think we've got a good planning document
2:05:28 looking forward to some of the future
2:05:30 community engagement especially around
2:05:33 the discussion tonight about
2:05:35 consolidated City Hall but I'll be
2:05:37 supporting this this evening
2:05:39 that's Myra Walsh so I want to echo what
2:05:43 councilmember Goodman said about just
2:05:46 the amount of community engagement that
2:05:48 we've had which has resulted in some
2:05:51 substantial changes to the CIP this is
2:05:56 part of the conversation particularly
2:06:00 around transportation funding and we're
2:06:02 going to continue that conversation as
2:06:05 we really talk over what projects should
2:06:09 be in the TBD
2:06:11 we should go forward with potentially a
2:06:15 sales tax and so I would encourage the
2:06:17 community who is very interested in
2:06:20 these things to stay involved in that
2:06:23 conversation so that we can continue to
2:06:26 have that feedback because these are
2:06:28 some pretty big decisions for us as a
2:06:31 council yeah thank you Thanks
2:06:34 any other comments before we go to the
2:06:36 vote all those in favor of approving
2:06:41 resolution number 2019 - oh seven as
2:06:46 amended I don't sorry yes adopting the
2:06:51 capital improvement plan for 2022
2:06:53 through 2025 including the six-year
2:06:55 transportation Improvement Program
2:06:57 signify by saying aye
2:06:59 as opposed it passes unanimously
2:07:03 before we move to regular business I
2:07:06 wanted to thank you for the extremely
2:07:11 thoughtful consideration in the amount
2:07:13 of time you put into considering this
2:07:16 capital improvement plan it is super
2:07:19 important as the council president said
2:07:21 that we make sure that mitigation funds
2:07:23 are invested in the community in the
2:07:25 best way we can and hearing the
2:07:27 community voice which we heard loud and
2:07:28 clear from all of you tonight
2:07:30 as to what that has to look like is
2:07:32 super important that means a big
2:07:34 engagement X
2:07:35 sighs thank you for emphasizing that and
2:07:37 repeating it I also want to let you know
2:07:39 that I'm extremely proud and supportive
2:07:42 of your decision on Providence point and
2:07:45 funding it's in the current year my goal
2:07:49 was to make sure that the council
2:07:52 understood the ramifications of what it
2:07:55 means and made a fully informed decision
2:07:57 and you absolutely did that thank you
2:08:00 for listening to the community thank you
2:08:02 for spending so many hours going over
2:08:04 all the information we presented I think
2:08:07 you demonstrated a lot of thoughtfulness
2:08:11 in this process and I am super
2:08:13 appreciative so thank you very much for
2:08:15 doing that and we'll move on to regular
2:08:17 business a b-78 one for East Side Fire
2:08:20 and Rescue resolution on alternative
2:08:22 fuel requirements this is the first time
2:08:24 this item is coming before Council and
2:08:26 I'd like to invite management analyst
2:08:28 Jean Paul to the lectern good evening
2:08:39 I'm Jean Paul management analysts in the
2:08:41 executive office chief Clark will also
2:08:43 be presenting this evening but before he
2:08:45 speaks
2:08:45 I just wanted to ensure that the
2:08:47 administration but just in excuse me I
2:08:51 want to ensure that what the
2:08:53 administration is asking of Council is
2:08:55 clearly identified ultimately we are
2:08:57 asking council to approve a resolution
2:08:59 exempting the East Side Fire and Rescue
2:09:01 fire vehicles from the state's
2:09:02 requirement to use alternative fuels the
2:09:05 council is required to take action on
2:09:06 this because even though the East Side
2:09:09 Fire and Rescue Board of Directors has
2:09:11 already approved a resolution the
2:09:13 partner cities retain ownership of the
2:09:15 vehicles under the inner local agreement
2:09:16 so our resolution would provide an
2:09:19 exemption for the fire vehicles in which
2:09:21 the city has an ownership interest at
2:09:23 this point I'd like to turn it over to
2:09:24 chief Clark to provide more information
2:09:26 on the East Side Fire and Rescue request
2:09:32 thank you good evening mayor council
2:09:34 president members of council the agenda
2:09:37 bill and the resolution are pretty
2:09:39 descriptive so I would just give you a
2:09:40 quick overview as was just mentioned the
2:09:43 Eastside Fire and Rescue did approve the
2:09:45 exemption based on the law back in 2018
2:09:49 it was our councils direction to us that
2:09:53 we should pass an exemption and that
2:09:55 because the ila is what assembles us as
2:09:57 a partnership that each of the partner
2:10:00 agencies should also pass a companion
2:10:02 resolution to ensure that we're covering
2:10:04 all of our bases legally as far as the
2:10:07 fire service is concerned and moving
2:10:10 towards a greener fleet you know there's
2:10:12 one electric fire truck in the country
2:10:14 demo that I'm aware of that
2:10:17 is there it we're still we're probably a
2:10:19 decade out before the technology catches
2:10:22 up from electricity standpoint on fire
2:10:24 vehicles and then if we were to flip the
2:10:26 switch today when you consider our
2:10:28 replacement plan it would be 10 to 15
2:10:30 years before our entire response fleet
2:10:32 would be turned out over to electricity
2:10:34 or any other new industry that would hit
2:10:36 today and the other thing that the law
2:10:38 seems to address in a in pretty robust
2:10:40 fashion is biodiesel and of course most
2:10:42 of our response vehicles are in fact
2:10:43 diesel biodiesel however is not
2:10:46 distributed commercially in the area and
2:10:48 if it was our mechanical maintenance
2:10:50 would have to be retooled to include
2:10:53 what what it would be needed to maintain
2:10:56 a biodiesel fleet and it's just not
2:10:58 feasible at this point but with all that
2:11:00 said we do have a small fleet of staff
2:11:03 vehicles that would of course be
2:11:04 eligible to convert to electricity
2:11:06 tomorrow if it were up in our
2:11:08 replacement plan it is still another
2:11:11 year before we're replacing any new
2:11:12 staff vehicles but when we do I am
2:11:14 planning on bringing to the e4 board
2:11:16 what our plan would be to convert our
2:11:19 staff vehicles what it would take in the
2:11:21 form of charging stations and that kind
2:11:22 of thing at our headquarters facility
2:11:25 and an re4 board will then make the
2:11:27 decision on whether or not we move
2:11:28 forward through our standard budget
2:11:29 process with that element and when and
2:11:32 if the technology on the response side
2:11:34 does catch up with us and we no longer
2:11:36 have to rely on this exemption and could
2:11:37 actually go towards a greener stuff type
2:11:40 of fuel then of course we will do that
2:11:42 through yfir board action but I
2:11:44 expect that to be some time away but
2:11:45 I'll be happy to answer any questions
2:11:46 you may have
2:11:47 Thank You chief council president Mertz
2:11:50 so the Grange sells biodiesel right it
2:11:53 is commercially available yes III don't
2:11:56 know if you say grain just sells it yes
2:11:59 sir I believe it does on their website
2:12:01 okay so the mechanical engineer in me
2:12:02 wants to know what the issue is with
2:12:04 biodiesel because I thought Diesel's
2:12:05 diesel if it if you can compress it to
2:12:08 ignite it it'll run in a diesel do you
2:12:10 see diesel is diesel and it will run it
2:12:12 was my understanding
2:12:13 however the maintenance that is involved
2:12:15 it does gunk some parts up and I'm not a
2:12:17 mechanic so I'll I can certainly get you
2:12:19 an answer on that but what you end up
2:12:21 replacing the form of fuel filters and
2:12:23 where you use it does become more of a
2:12:26 maintenance issue from a mechanical
2:12:29 standpoint now the the other thing is
2:12:31 about efer is we are spread out over 190
2:12:33 square miles so we would need a
2:12:35 commercially available on a wide wide
2:12:37 spread throughout we do not circulate
2:12:40 fuel to each of our play to each of our
2:12:42 stations they go to the closest fueling
2:12:45 station in the jurisdiction they're
2:12:46 serving and to my knowledge we do not
2:12:49 have biodiesel in that many places if we
2:12:52 have it at the Grange we don't have it
2:12:53 in other areas at their service area but
2:12:55 that's certainly something I can look
2:12:57 into councilman Brown and so so one
2:13:01 thing that I noticed in our in the
2:13:05 resolution is that it also says that
2:13:08 biodiesel can be used in some fire
2:13:10 vehicles the use of biodiesel and many
2:13:12 of these vehicles will void the warranty
2:13:14 so that may be another reason and then I
2:13:19 also had a question so and this is more
2:13:21 for the administration
2:13:23 so is there is this expected to be the
2:13:27 only exemption that would be made or
2:13:32 government vehicles in our jurisdiction
2:13:34 I'm gonna have James come up and answer
2:13:38 so the administration is not
2:13:40 anticipating bringing another exemption
2:13:41 for the city fleet the State Department
2:13:44 of Commerce is the oversight agency for
2:13:47 this they're only looking for agencies
2:13:49 that use more than two hundred thousand
2:13:50 gallons of fuel a year to bring
2:13:52 exemption forward for reporting purposes
2:13:54 and the city average is about 70,000 so
2:13:57 we're not at
2:13:57 spitting looking for our own exemption
2:13:59 at this time is your second part to that
2:14:02 question yeah okay so we're also not
2:14:05 planning to we this also doesn't apply
2:14:08 to our fleet is that the subtext for
2:14:12 that so it does apply we're not looking
2:14:16 for an exemption from the rules we're
2:14:18 basically looking to follow the rules
2:14:21 over time we're just not at this point
2:14:23 requesting an exemption from it okay and
2:14:26 sorry what does follow the rules
2:14:28 overtime amount look like so essentially
2:14:33 it would be as we make acquisitions for
2:14:35 our fleet to incorporate these policies
2:14:37 and decisions into those processes new
2:14:40 purchases correct okay thank you it's my
2:14:44 rush along those lines for city
2:14:48 government vehicles do we have a policy
2:14:51 conversation or a policy of pursuing
2:14:56 alternative fuels vehicles in our
2:15:00 purchasing I'm not sure that I have the
2:15:02 right people here tonight to answer your
2:15:04 question but I see it we have at least
2:15:06 two council members are very interested
2:15:07 in the answer
2:15:08 so just to stay o do if you're if you
2:15:12 got it go for it I'm not sure we have an
2:15:14 adopted policy but we have direction
2:15:16 that has been given to our fleet manager
2:15:17 to explore particularly electric
2:15:20 vehicles were never possible and that is
2:15:22 how we have been replacing most of our
2:15:26 smaller fleet as chief Clark mentioned
2:15:29 did there are other considerations that
2:15:31 we get into as we look at some of our
2:15:33 larger vehicles come somewhere
2:15:39 interesting if you made a comment
2:15:43 earlier which I appreciated that even
2:15:44 though we're looking for in a hundred
2:15:46 percent exception you did exemption you
2:15:48 did say that there are other vehicles
2:15:50 such as your own staff vehicles or
2:15:51 whatever you call them in the future you
2:15:53 would be considering perhaps electric
2:15:55 and there is a section 3 of your
2:15:59 I guess it's called a resolution and
2:16:04 it's called it is called resolution 19 -
2:16:07 2 0 0 4 and I I didn't get to look up
2:16:10 all the references in there and I was
2:16:12 just wondering if I guess when you made
2:16:14 that comment I thought to myself that
2:16:16 would be great I appreciated that as I
2:16:19 heard it as we have limitations over
2:16:22 there but there are some things we can
2:16:23 do over here you know trying to
2:16:25 demonstrate though your hands are tied
2:16:28 we're gonna do what we can and I'm not
2:16:30 it would have been great if the
2:16:30 resolution said that real clearly is
2:16:32 really wasn't the reaction that I have
2:16:34 and maybe section 3 says that I don't
2:16:36 know and in and maybe you know the
2:16:39 answer that question maybe you don't but
2:16:40 I do appreciate that and and please take
2:16:44 that message back because I think I
2:16:45 think no doubt that people understand
2:16:48 what's required and why we would be
2:16:50 doing these things this is important and
2:16:54 so and it's so easy for this because
2:16:56 it's a hundred percent exception to look
2:16:58 ok unless you if you don't read the
2:17:00 details it can be easily misunderstood
2:17:02 and misinterpreted so I appreciated your
2:17:05 comment earlier about hey that part we
2:17:07 can control in these other vehicles that
2:17:09 we will be looking for the electric
2:17:10 alternative thank you thank you - just
2:17:13 add on to that a little bit when we say
2:17:15 an exemption the exemption specifically
2:17:18 is for emergency response vehicles are
2:17:20 those related vehicles our staff
2:17:22 vehicles will not count towards that
2:17:24 exemption even under the the landscape
2:17:26 of the way the law was drawn if our
2:17:29 resolution is blurry on that that's my
2:17:31 fault but it is under the law we have to
2:17:34 comply even on those other vehicles or
2:17:36 work towards that or put a plan forward
2:17:38 and we plan on doing that and thank you
2:17:39 for that clarification any other
2:17:42 comments or questions none I'll call for
2:17:45 the vote
2:17:46 the solution have we moved in second to
2:17:51 no we haven't commotion I'd like to move
2:17:56 to approve resolution number 20 1908
2:18:00 exempting aside fire and rescue from the
2:18:03 alternative fuel requirement of RCW 40
2:18:06 3.19 dot 648 open parent to close parent
2:18:11 open parent a closed okay it's been
2:18:15 moved in second it is there any
2:18:16 discussion comes to present merits so I
2:18:20 would just follow up that it does appear
2:18:23 from a cursory initial examination that
2:18:26 the blend of biodiesel that is available
2:18:29 commercially is fairly high blend and
2:18:33 that most fire departments that are
2:18:36 experimenting with biodiesel are using a
2:18:38 much lower blend of biodiesel so in
2:18:40 other words a larger fraction of
2:18:41 coarsely available diesel so I'm very
2:18:44 comfortable with this answer
2:18:46 clarification if there's no favor
2:18:49 there's no further discussion all those
2:18:52 in favor of approving resolution number
2:18:55 2019 - 0-8 exempting safe fire and
2:18:58 rescue from the alternate fuels
2:18:59 requirement of RCW 43.1 9.6 for a print
2:19:03 to print a signify by saying aye
2:19:06 it carries unanimously I think she's
2:19:09 Thank You Jean we are moving into the
2:19:12 good of the order portion of the meeting
2:19:14 I do have one item which is a returning
2:19:17 item from cascade water Alliance
2:19:20 entirely sure but I believe
2:19:21 councilmember hunt might be actually the
2:19:24 one who is voting on this at the board
2:19:26 meeting because I will not be there we
2:19:29 had brought a discussion to you earlier
2:19:32 this year about a change in the scope of
2:19:35 services that cascade water alliance
2:19:37 could provide each of the member
2:19:38 organizations and it was related to some
2:19:40 ongoing negotiations with King County
2:19:43 over Metro and how big of a voice and a
2:19:46 voice vote
2:19:48 members that serve the ratepayers would
2:19:51 have in future conversations
2:19:54 cascade water Alliance has been doing
2:19:56 some of this work already the questions
2:19:59 that you had asked that I took down were
2:20:01 how much does this cost how much will
2:20:03 this cost going forward and is there a
2:20:06 possibility of a sunsetting provision so
2:20:09 the information that I got from cascade
2:20:12 water Alliance was for all of the member
2:20:14 organizations to date the total cost for
2:20:16 support services was $26,000 is the
2:20:20 questionnaire would be eight point one
2:20:21 percent of that the cost estimated
2:20:23 through the end of the year there are
2:20:25 some additional meetings with King
2:20:27 County plan he's forty five thousand
2:20:29 dollars again it's a questionnaire of
2:20:30 eight point one percent they will be
2:20:33 providing some new sunset language that
2:20:35 goes along the lines of and this year if
2:20:40 the negotiations proceeding through the
2:20:42 next two quarters go well or when larger
2:20:46 coalition of water districts and cities
2:20:50 form and decide on a different mechanism
2:20:52 for support services so just hearing
2:20:55 those numbers and the amounts it seems
2:20:58 that that is good value for what we're
2:21:00 getting in terms of pulling together
2:21:02 this first group to negotiate they seem
2:21:04 to have good traction with the county I
2:21:06 think would be a good idea for them to
2:21:07 continue their work I think this is a
2:21:09 reasonable share for us to pay and I
2:21:11 think the sunsetting provision is a
2:21:12 really good idea one other item that
2:21:16 councilmember hunt I'm not sure if it's
2:21:17 entirely clear but there was also a
2:21:19 request to make sure that the voting
2:21:21 mechanism for dissolving would be sent
2:21:24 or accepting would be similar to the
2:21:27 voting mechanism for regular major
2:21:30 actions which is there is a weighted
2:21:32 vote and we want to make sure that one
2:21:37 of the members that has a significant
2:21:39 weight on their voice isn't the one just
2:21:42 to decide to make this go forward so
2:21:43 it's meant to balance out based on the
2:21:45 size of the water user and so that
2:21:48 pretty much means it needs to be all of
2:21:50 the users have to vote to make this go
2:21:52 forward so I think it's a good it was
2:21:54 good to ask those questions I think we
2:21:55 got some good numbers I'm much more
2:21:57 comfortable now with the resolution to
2:21:59 expand the scope of services it's
2:22:01 limited it seems like it's good price I
2:22:03 think we're getting good
2:22:04 for the money in it and it sunsets so
2:22:06 just need to get some head nods if
2:22:08 that's how you'd like councilmember hunt
2:22:09 to vote at the July board meeting any
2:22:12 questions
2:22:13 awesome any other items for good of the
2:22:17 order look ahead in a few meetings
2:22:21 upcoming councilmember three July July
2:22:26 23rd council committee of the whole at
2:22:28 6:30 p.m. the potential agenda items for
2:22:31 that one are acceptance of donations for
2:22:33 park amenities neighborhood engagement
2:22:35 update update on our regional agenda
2:22:38 rules of procedure coming back
2:22:41 evaluation of progress with resolutions
2:22:44 on inclusion and condemning racism and
2:22:46 intolerance so a bunch of interesting
2:22:48 for it on the cow July 25th there's a
2:22:51 public forum to meet City Administrator
2:22:53 candidates as they announced earlier
2:22:55 this evening we will be bringing to
2:22:57 forward to the community on July 25th
2:23:00 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. the location is 94
2:23:04 Front Street which is a new workshop
2:23:06 Issaquah door that has opened recently
2:23:10 it'll be a great place for an informal
2:23:12 having informal conversation and it will
2:23:15 be noticed so that council can also
2:23:17 attend August 5th we do have our last
2:23:20 regular council meeting of the summer so
2:23:23 far scheduled for 7:00 p.m. and the
2:23:25 potential agenda items are the 2019
2:23:28 comprehensive solid waste management
2:23:29 plan King County document and a regional
2:23:32 coalition coalition for housing program
2:23:35 update that's what I think we are
2:23:38 looking forward to councilmember
2:23:39 interesting no one might item I'm really
2:23:42 gonna repeat something I said earlier we
2:23:43 layer this week on Friday the PSR C will
2:23:46 be releasing the draft vision 2050
2:23:49 including the updated regional growth
2:23:50 strategy in the new multi county
2:23:52 planning policies I'll have a 60-day
2:23:55 window for accepting comments of course
2:23:58 then the board will be considering that
2:24:00 for a couple months afterwards but this
2:24:03 is a a request or something to consider
2:24:06 for whether our city wants to formally
2:24:09 make a provide comments feedback
2:24:14 during that 60-day window I'm looking at
2:24:17 Keith I know he's sitting up so that's
2:24:18 something I'd like you to discuss in
2:24:20 considering I know I would appreciate it
2:24:23 as a board member of my my city got had
2:24:27 a consolidated voice and with just speak
2:24:29 on anything especially we feel really
2:24:30 passionate about something either for or
2:24:33 against that's in there and in the
2:24:37 comment letter that was sent in earlier
2:24:39 in your review of the draft discussions
2:24:41 did you have any concerns with the new
2:24:43 draft that's coming out in terms of it
2:24:45 may not address some of the things that
2:24:47 the council members had expressed an
2:24:49 interest no I don't I think however
2:24:53 there were some changes over the last
2:24:55 sixty days which we may have are gonna
2:24:59 need explanation because it was the part
2:25:02 the the alternative that we considered
2:25:06 we were looking at the draft
2:25:08 supplemental EIS that preferred
2:25:10 alternative was tweaked a little bit
2:25:12 and there may there may be questions
2:25:15 about that and that's that's more of
2:25:17 what I'm thinking because we go I think
2:25:21 the process that we're about to go
2:25:23 through may somewhat depend upon this
2:25:30 feedback this this comment period to
2:25:33 help make some difficult decisions okay
2:25:37 you anticipate that the council would
2:25:40 benefit from having PSoC staff come and
2:25:43 explain the tweaks we can we can discuss
2:25:47 that I feel like I could but I don't
2:25:51 know if that's the best way to do it
2:25:52 let's discuss it thank you for bringing
2:25:54 that up
2:25:54 does anybody else want anything for good
2:25:56 of the order all right and we are
2:26:00 adjourned
2:26:01 don't no we're not oh so close I forgot
2:26:06 okay as I mentioned earlier we have a
2:26:09 lengthy executive session and so we will
2:26:15 be going into executive session
2:26:17 so there's earlier announced there'll be
2:26:19 an executive session this evening to
2:26:20 discuss cybersecurity / RCW forty two
2:26:23 point three oh one 104 and one print
2:26:26 apron - and pending potential litigation
2:26:28 / RCW 42.3 0.11 o / n 1 prayer and i
2:26:31 these items are expected to last 17
2:26:34 minutes and before i'm looking around -
2:26:37 we have to start with 70 minutes I think
2:26:40 that's a great question so no action is
2:26:45 anticipated to follow of an open session
2:26:46 I would suggest we start with 45 minutes
2:26:50 and go from there if that's acceptable
2:26:52 to the group okay so we'll be going into
2:26:54 executive session for 45 minutes thank
2:26:59 [Applause]
