Proposed 2020 Budget: Revenue Sources - Utility Tax AB 7850

Carried 6-0

Forward to Nov. 18 Council Meeting · packet pp.295–312

Topics: Budget

▶ Watch from 2:06:38 Open packet at p.295 ↗

Staff report:

The State empowers cities and towns to levy utility taxes through the same general authority that allows the collection of the business and occupation (B&O) tax. It is important to distinguish the difference between utility rates and utility tax rates. While utility rates support the utilities themselves, utility tax revenues accrue to the General Fund and can be used for general government purposes. Utility taxes are levied upon the gross operating revenues of both public and private utilities and are typically passed directly onto the rate payers by the utilities themselves.

2:29 ↗ make tonight before we start and I'd

2:31 ↗ like to talk about the Issaquah School

2:34 ↗ District tree designation and rezone and

2:36 ↗ provide some comments in case folks have

2:38 ↗ shown up this evening hoping to address

2:40 ↗ Council on this topic City Vista kua is

2:44 ↗ currently considering changes to the

2:46 ↗ land use designation and zoning of 8

2:48 ↗ parcels owned by either the city or its

2:50 ↗ equesticle district including three

2:52 ↗ parcels commonly called the profit isn't

2:54 ↗ Providence Heights property that the

2:57 ↗ school district recently acquired the

3:00 ↗ proposed new zoning for these three

3:01 ↗ parcels would enable the construction of

3:03 ↗ a high school and the current zoning

3:05 ↗ only allows for an elementary and/or

3:07 ↗ middle school the city's Planning Policy

3:09 ↗ Commission reviewed the proposal for the

3:12 ↗ three parcels and recommended keeping

3:13 ↗ the existing zoning for two parcels and

3:16 ↗ a redesignate and rezone of one parcel

3:18 ↗ to community facilities open space the

3:22 ↗ proposed land use changes require a

3:24 ↗ state environmental policy act or SEPA

3:27 ↗ process which identifies and analyzes

3:29 ↗ environmental impacts associated with

3:32 ↗ governmental decisions as many of you

3:34 ↗ know the Providence Point umbrella

3:36 ↗ Association has filed an appeal of the

3:38 ↗ CEPA determination of non significance

3:40 ↗ issued by city staff for the

3:43 ↗ comprehensive plan redesignate and

3:45 ↗ rezone the request that is related to

3:48 ↗ the acoustical district property because

3:50 ↗ this appeal is quasi judicial and will

3:52 ↗ be heard by the ESCO City Council on

3:54 ↗ December 2nd of this year the City

3:57 ↗ Council may not hear audience comments

3:59 ↗ tonight on any of the issues in the cipa

4:01 ↗ appeal and something is quasi-judicial

4:04 ↗ that means that the council must act

4:06 ↗ like judges and may not hear testimony

4:08 ↗ or evidence related to the appeal

4:10 ↗ outside of the December 2nd 2019 appeal

4:13 ↗ process hearing for those not familiar

4:15 ↗ with the issues in the CEPA appeal they

4:18 ↗ are whether the school district should

4:20 ↗ have been the applicant for the

4:22 ↗ comprehensive plan amendment and rezone

4:24 ↗ the city the city planning staff

4:26 ↗ considers the city to be the applicant

4:28 ↗ for the entire 2019 comprehensive plan

4:30 ↗ amendment and rezoning

4:32 ↗ secondly whether the information on the

4:35 ↗ CEPA checklist used to evaluate the

4:36 ↗ potential impacts of the 2019

4:39 ↗ comprehensive plan amendment and

4:41 ↗ rezoning is and complete with respect to

4:44 ↗ the school district property third

4:46 ↗ whether the city appropriately used

4:48 ↗ phased environmental review in this

4:50 ↗ instance under SEPA phased environmental

4:53 ↗ review is to be used when some of the

4:55 ↗ environmental issues related to our

4:56 ↗ proposal are known and are ready for

4:59 ↗ decision and other issues are not yet

5:01 ↗ ready

5:01 ↗ forth whether the not applicable answers

5:04 ↗ to some of the questions on the CEPA

5:06 ↗ checklist are accurate and fifth whether

5:08 ↗ the comprehensive plan amendment and

5:10 ↗ rezoning the school district property

5:12 ↗ will have probable significant adverse

5:14 ↗ environmental impacts due to traffic and

5:17 ↗ site access fire police and other public

5:20 ↗ services light and glare noise the

5:23 ↗ differences in setbacks and other land

5:25 ↗ use regulations associated with the

5:27 ↗ current single-family Comprehensive Plan

5:29 ↗ designation and zoning and the proposed

5:31 ↗ c FF designation and zoning drainage and

5:34 ↗ stormwater runoff to Providence point

5:36 ↗ drainage and stormwater runoff -

5:38 ↗ laughing Jacob's Creek removal of trees

5:40 ↗ and vegetation and loss of wildlife

5:42 ↗ habitat so once again the council cannot

5:45 ↗ hear testimony tonight on these issues

5:48 ↗ and if you want to speak on other issues

5:50 ↗ tonight you are welcome to do so

5:52 ↗ but if you come up to the podium and you

5:54 ↗ want to testify regarding any of the

5:55 ↗ CEPA issues I will have to stop you and

5:58 ↗ will ask that you refrain from speaking

5:59 ↗ further on these matters the City

6:02 ↗ Clerk's office and the city attorney are

6:04 ↗ working to determine an appropriate way

6:05 ↗ for the public to share their input on

6:07 ↗ this issue and information will be

6:09 ↗ provided on the city's website later

6:11 ↗ this week right now there is email

6:14 ↗ piling up in our council members boxes

6:16 ↗ and they are not able at this point in

6:19 ↗ time to read them or respond as we work

6:23 ↗ to confirm with the parties of the

6:25 ↗ appeal as to how we can acknowledge

6:26 ↗ these emails and make them part of the

6:28 ↗ record for council hearing we're still

6:30 ↗ working on that process so please be

6:32 ↗ patient with us if you have written in

6:34 ↗ and have not heard back we will be

6:36 ↗ acknowledging all of those emails so

6:38 ↗ with that very lengthy introduction to

6:43 ↗ audience comments

6:44 ↗ we'll check to see if anybody has signed

6:46 ↗ up to speak this evening yes senator

6:49 ↗ mark mullet our inaugural public speaker

6:59 ↗ [Music]

7:01 ↗ good evening Council madam mayor and I

7:05 ↗ apologize I am on the topic it's gonna

7:08 ↗ try to be delicate and shut me down if

7:11 ↗ necessary before that my condolences

7:14 ↗ your father I went through that myself

7:16 ↗ and I know how difficult it is so I'm

7:20 ↗ sure this is tough to be back the yes my

7:24 ↗ perception during my time in public

7:26 ↗ office is the average citizen never

7:28 ↗ differentiates between a school district

7:30 ↗ a city legislative branch I think they

7:33 ↗ just view us all as government and so I

7:35 ↗ think sometimes I find in my role you

7:38 ↗ end up involved in some local issues

7:40 ↗ just because you feel that the average

7:41 ↗ people just view it as one big giant

7:44 ↗ umbrella and I think that a I know you

7:47 ↗ guys are working through all this and I

7:48 ↗ just think from my perspective a lot of

7:51 ↗ the focuses on the traffic right here

7:53 ↗ and second Avenue from one of the things

7:56 ↗ that's always been appealing to me is if

7:58 ↗ we do end up with a new high school

7:59 ↗ somewhere else in Issaquah 700 kids get

8:02 ↗ transferred out of the high school on

8:04 ↗ Second Avenue and I always kind of view

8:06 ↗ this area where we're sitting right now

8:08 ↗ is kind of ground zero traffic misery in

8:10 ↗ the afternoon and so I think you need

8:12 ↗ steps we can make you know as a

8:15 ↗ community than end up you know helping

8:17 ↗ to solve that problem in there getting

8:18 ↗ benefit residents visit wah and just the

8:21 ↗ community in general so I just wanted to

8:25 ↗ make those comments that I think this

8:26 ↗ issue as it moves forward between now

8:28 ↗ and the end of the years is going to be

8:30 ↗ an issue that will have large regional

8:33 ↗ benefits I hope we figure out a way to

8:34 ↗ to make things work and and keep all the

8:38 ↗ different sides happy and I guess just

8:41 ↗ my final comment I know this is such a

8:43 ↗ week this is totally different comment

8:45 ↗ if you're debating between 4% 39% my

8:48 ↗ vote is the lower number

8:50 ↗ thank you very much I appreciate it

8:52 ↗ Thank You senator next to show Larry

8:56 ↗ Franks

9:02 ↗ good evening my name is Larry Franks I

9:05 ↗ reside at two four zero zero one

9:07 ↗ southeast one hundred and third Street

9:09 ↗ for the last 47 years so far and I'm

9:12 ↗ also representing the Friends of the is

9:15 ↗ a class Salmon Hatchery and we have

9:16 ↗ several more members now it was a good

9:19 ↗ time to raise it and what I'll be

9:22 ↗ sharing is a status of how our fish are

9:26 ↗ doing and I don't have an ask for a

9:29 ↗ change so this is informational and the

9:34 ↗ button works just fine this year we had

9:39 ↗ a very very poor return on top of last

9:42 ↗ year's poor return we had to borrow eggs

9:44 ↗ from another hatchery in order to meet

9:46 ↗ our escapement goals we've done a number

9:52 ↗ of things to try to turn this around

9:55 ↗ there's a long delay here okay do I need

10:03 ↗ to aim this in a particular spot oh I

10:06 ↗ need to aim it at you okay okay here we

10:13 ↗ go

10:14 ↗ so the numbers tell the tale so without

10:17 ↗ looking at the specifics of yes we did

10:21 ↗ get 45,000 fish back here 19 years ago

10:24 ↗ this year we are scraping along at less

10:28 ↗ than 2,000 fish so we have had to as

10:31 ↗ they say borrow eggs from other

10:33 ↗ hatcheries in order to meet our

10:35 ↗ escapement goals the we've done several

10:39 ↗ things several with the support of the

10:43 ↗ city of Issaquah the the top one was a

10:46 ↗ Washington state bill that was supposed

10:48 ↗ to help with predators who were chowing

10:51 ↗ down on our fish before they managed to

10:53 ↗ make it to the salt water and basically

10:56 ↗ it got modified it got eviscerated in

10:59 ↗ committee somewhere and

11:01 ↗ won't make any difference whatsoever and

11:04 ↗ they've also been efforts to remove the

11:06 ↗ Predators directly this has been carried

11:08 ↗ out by the Michael chute tribe a step in

11:11 ↗ the right direction but again no net

11:14 ↗ effect on the oh that wasn't meant to be

11:16 ↗ a pun no net effect on the the number of

11:20 ↗ fish so far another solution that we

11:23 ↗ experimented with was to go around the

11:26 ↗ Predators all together by trucking the

11:29 ↗ fish almost all the way to the the salt

11:32 ↗ water and it turns out that NOAA

11:34 ↗ Fisheries who enforces the Endangered

11:36 ↗ Species Act won't let that happen it

11:39 ↗ would impact other fish so we do have

11:43 ↗ some potential actions in front of us

11:46 ↗ that we could do one of the big deals is

11:49 ↗ that the majority of our fish aren't

11:51 ↗ even caught anywhere around here they

11:53 ↗ are caught off of the coast of Alaska

11:56 ↗ and British Columbia the challenge there

11:59 ↗ is that the as soon as you add countries

12:03 ↗ to States to other jurisdictions the

12:06 ↗ complexities of those negotiations mean

12:09 ↗ no likely help there in the the near

12:13 ↗ future

12:14 ↗ another one the second bullet there is

12:16 ↗ to experiment with when the the smolder

12:20 ↗ released it turns out that most of our

12:22 ↗ fish are eaten by warm water fish by

12:25 ↗ bass and perch and the earlier we can

12:28 ↗ release our fish the less active those

12:31 ↗ bass are so that might might help so one

12:36 ↗ of the other things that we're looking

12:38 ↗ at is fully funding the Washington

12:41 ↗ Department of Fish and Wildlife there

12:43 ↗ are a number of things that are

12:45 ↗ suggested by the killer whale task force

12:49 ↗ recovery that have not been funded and

12:53 ↗ that can help even with Issaquah fish

12:56 ↗ themselves that's my story as a private

13:01 ↗ citizen the one thing that I wanted

13:03 ↗ was to encourage the city to support the

13:06 ↗ clean fuel initiative which is tied to

13:09 ↗ k4c and other programs that I know

13:11 ↗ you're you're familiar with thank you

13:14 ↗ very much thank you very well leave this

13:18 ↗ tissue next on the list next we have

13:23 ↗ Heather Phinney Lee and Malia greening

13:38 ↗ did you bring a presentation this

13:40 ↗ evening we did yeah okay yeah my name is

13:48 ↗ Heather a nerdy I live downtown a Scott

13:51 ↗ in the bush Street neighborhood we are

13:55 ↗ here to talk to you guys about kind of a

13:57 ↗ renewed issue it's nothing new I've

13:59 ↗ lived in it so far for over eleven years

14:03 ↗ and it has been something that has been

14:06 ↗ brought to City Council probably every

14:09 ↗ year that I lived that I have lived here

14:11 ↗ I know that Malia and I have been in

14:13 ↗ attendance to City Council for that

14:15 ↗ reason multiple times together I know

14:17 ↗ that she has spoke multiple times to

14:21 ↗ several of you as well and we are here

14:26 ↗ to be proactive we have suggestions we

14:30 ↗ have compiled information that we want

14:33 ↗ to share with you and we're not taking

14:35 ↗ it lightly in what we are asking for but

14:38 ↗ we also know that it's not a new ask and

14:42 ↗ in being proactive in that ask I guess

14:46 ↗ we'll take a look at the traffic calming

14:49 ↗ Mele and I actually went door-to-door

14:51 ↗ over the last couple of days and put

14:54 ↗ notices on every single door that we

14:56 ↗ could find in that old town calming area

14:59 ↗ asking for input we created a email

15:03 ↗ address to start collecting stories and

15:05 ↗ some of those stories are still coming

15:06 ↗ in because as we looked at some data

15:07 ↗ which doesn't give us a whole lot right

15:09 ↗ now

15:10 ↗ we intend to come back next month with

15:11 ↗ more information

15:13 ↗ but as we pulled information and police

15:16 ↗ records what we found is that there were

15:17 ↗ 177 incidents of police involvement

15:21 ↗ relating to traffic over a ten-month

15:24 ↗ period after traffic calming happened we

15:26 ↗ of course need to look at what happened

15:28 ↗ beforehand what I did then of course is

15:30 ↗ try to make sense of it and I

15:32 ↗ highlighted a bunch of stuff in figuring

15:34 ↗ out ok which ones are actually on our

15:36 ↗ streets involved in that map which ones

15:38 ↗ are accidents and hit and runs and

15:40 ↗ reckless driving which ones are just

15:42 ↗ being pulled over for traffic tickets

15:43 ↗ and which ones are for parking and I

15:45 ↗ divided all of those up and the

15:46 ↗ predominant number in the group were

15:48 ↗ accidents hit and runs and reckless

15:50 ↗ driving our problems in our neighborhood

15:56 ↗ because of the traffic calming have

15:58 ↗ actually gotten greater and they've

15:59 ↗ gotten greater because the restrictions

16:01 ↗ of the left-hand turn lanes are not

16:02 ↗ there and there they were taken away

16:04 ↗ without identifying clear crosswalks

16:07 ↗ they are also there because there is a

16:10 ↗ lack of signage for school zone around

16:14 ↗ Clark elementary there's over 4,000

16:17 ↗ students enrolled in four schools within

16:20 ↗ a two-block radius there's no signage

16:23 ↗ add to that the support staff teachers

16:28 ↗ the bus barn that's right there as well

16:31 ↗ as well as thousands of commuters who

16:33 ↗ are using second and sunset to cut

16:35 ↗ through Front Street traffic and access

16:38 ↗ to and from i 90 and our neighborhoods

16:40 ↗ caught in the middle the speed bumps are

16:42 ↗ not high enough to slow people down and

16:45 ↗ what we have found one day inadvertently

16:49 ↗ was that people are turning off of

16:56 ↗ second and they're scattering and

16:58 ↗ actually can you go back to that and

17:01 ↗ they're scattering so if you see sons

17:03 ↗ that way up there they're scattering

17:04 ↗ through the neighborhoods and they are

17:06 ↗ racing the light off of second and

17:09 ↗ sunset because they're trying to turn

17:11 ↗ left and beat that traffic light and

17:13 ↗ they're cutting through one streets that

17:15 ↗ are made for one car they're cutting

17:17 ↗ through neighborhoods and our

17:19 ↗ neighborhoods and our streets are not

17:20 ↗ made as main arterials we have a problem

17:22 ↗ and we need help now there's already

17:24 ↗ been

17:25 ↗ go ahead and do that next one there's

17:26 ↗ already been a near fatality accident on

17:28 ↗ sixth and some sense that I understand

17:31 ↗ is still under investigation and that

17:35 ↗ accident is right next to the old town

17:38 ↗ traffic calming if you haven't seen it

17:40 ↗ you can walk there and see where the

17:43 ↗ first point of impact is and bloodstains

17:46 ↗ that are still on the street it's rained

17:49 ↗ heavily since that accident happened and

17:52 ↗ there are still human marks on the road

17:56 ↗ and there's been no change there's been

17:58 ↗ no call to action and there's been no

17:59 ↗ attention given to our neighborhood I've

18:04 ↗ seen I'd like to also note that that

18:08 ↗ accident happened around four o'clock in

18:10 ↗ the afternoon and had those Letty

18:12 ↗ Hannity excuse me at 3:30 had those

18:14 ↗ left-hand restriction signs still been

18:16 ↗ there perhaps that accident wouldn't

18:18 ↗ have happened

18:18 ↗ removing the restriction signs made our

18:20 ↗ neighborhood more dangerous next to a

18:23 ↗ 990 major interstate and a very popular

18:26 ↗ trailhead

18:27 ↗ there are no crosswalks on Sunset any of

18:29 ↗ the any of the turns that are happening

18:31 ↗ and there's no restrictions there's no

18:33 ↗ more and there are no longer

18:34 ↗ restrictions yeah

18:39 ↗ actually emily is gonna show you

18:40 ↗ something earlier if you take a look at

18:42 ↗ the right-hand side the first marking

18:43 ↗ above the white line by the stop sign

18:45 ↗ just know that when you watch her video

18:48 ↗ because you're going to see cars who

18:49 ↗ that's what I'm assuming is the first

18:51 ↗ point of impact you'll see cars hitting

18:53 ↗ each other

18:54 ↗ nope that's you it's okay so I find it

18:57 ↗ gonna repeat what Heather Hardy said

18:59 ↗ so what we want and what we need is left

19:01 ↗ turn restriction signs during both peak

19:04 ↗ rush hours reinstated because those were

19:06 ↗ taken out when the traffic calming was

19:08 ↗ put in which was all the speed bumps and

19:09 ↗ all that and what we're thinking is

19:12 ↗ adding a local resident permit stickers

19:14 ↗ so for the people that did not like

19:16 ↗ those signs that went to them down they

19:18 ↗ could still enter the neighborhood with

19:19 ↗ a special sticker which we've seen in

19:21 ↗ other neighborhoods we definitely want

19:23 ↗ an added light or a lighted crosswalk or

19:25 ↗ four-way stop at second and bush where

19:29 ↗ all the kids are crossing to get to the

19:31 ↗ elementary school because right now when

19:33 ↗ Tonya isn't there with her flag people

19:35 ↗ just fly through it I usually have to

19:36 ↗ get out there and wait

19:37 ↗ everybody down like this to get the cars

19:39 ↗ to stop we also would like heavier

19:41 ↗ police presence until those things until

19:43 ↗ those things are in place we went to

19:45 ↗ school zone sign which she mentioned

19:46 ↗ earlier and then we would also like a

19:49 ↗ lighted crosswalk at 6:00 and sunset and

19:51 ↗ just all along sunset at all the

19:53 ↗ intersections I'm gonna show a video to

19:54 ↗ you next

19:55 ↗ actually oh just examples of signage

19:58 ↗ that would be effective having that no

20:01 ↗ turn signs and things that are strictly

20:02 ↗ enforced posting posting what the fine

20:04 ↗ is I don't know what it is I just looked

20:06 ↗ something up but posting what the fine

20:08 ↗ is to make sure that it is visible and

20:10 ↗ that people know what's going on because

20:11 ↗ right now when we're standing there just

20:13 ↗ watching the traffic they don't care

20:15 ↗ there's no there's no impact at all to

20:19 ↗ turning left and endangering our

20:21 ↗ families I'm going to be showing a video

20:23 ↗ to where they turned not only are they

20:25 ↗ turning left from sunset on to sixth but

20:29 ↗ because there's so much traffic backing

20:31 ↗ them all the way up down sunset they

20:33 ↗ actually come into the opposite lane of

20:35 ↗ traffic so going against traffic and

20:37 ↗ then they turn so imma show a video of

20:39 ↗ that in a second here so now is I think

20:42 ↗ I get clicked again and hurt yeah and

20:44 ↗ then it starts moving okay so if you can

20:50 ↗ see all the traffic backed up we have

20:52 ↗ the black car all the way back these

20:53 ↗ cars are going you can see movement

20:56 ↗ that's how far backed it up it is when

20:58 ↗ all these cars are coming and turning

21:00 ↗ they're not waiting to turn where the

21:01 ↗ white car is they're turning way before

21:04 ↗ so that concerns me that's how anybody

21:07 ↗ could easily get hit crossing the street

21:08 ↗ here they're also cutting the corner

21:10 ↗ quite hard they're crossing over their

21:13 ↗ centerline there's another one I think

21:14 ↗ that it probably isn't in here cars are

21:16 ↗ stopping short of that stop sign because

21:17 ↗ they can't get up to that stop line

21:19 ↗ right there it makes it pretty easy to

21:22 ↗ see where those markings are in the road

21:23 ↗ - were at that man was hit by the car

21:25 ↗ that cut the corner so this was just one

21:28 ↗ day I went out there just one morning I

21:30 ↗ happen to go out and take this video now

21:32 ↗ like a lot of my neighbors who whose

21:34 ↗ emails we've collected I have been out

21:36 ↗ on several days this was just one day

21:39 ↗ last week I took this video and this one

21:41 ↗ shows you that in a minute

21:42 ↗ 10 seconds we have 10 cars turning left

21:45 ↗ on to Bush Street look at all these cars

21:47 ↗ just constantly turning whereas in the

21:50 ↗ past we had a no left turn sign and a

21:51 ↗ lot of these people they come through

21:53 ↗ the neighborhood they whip through with

21:54 ↗ high speeds and as a mom I've often said

21:58 ↗ slow down slow down and they will go

21:59 ↗ faster and fly over the speed bumps with

22:02 ↗ no care the speed bumps don't cut and I

22:05 ↗ don't know if this will work or not but

22:06 ↗ the speed bumps don't cause people to

22:08 ↗ slow down it's actually kind of a game

22:11 ↗ that people play now is they race

22:12 ↗ between the speed bumps and their Hut

22:14 ↗ speed boats are not high enough so that

22:17 ↗ they have to slow down at all in fact

22:19 ↗ they go they say all over them quite

22:21 ↗ easily oh it's this one but if we can

22:25 ↗ speed it up to 60 oh it's right after

22:26 ↗ this watch this truck come through I

22:28 ↗ believe right now sorry I was right

22:32 ↗ after that I thought we'd have more

22:33 ↗ control over it sorry

22:34 ↗ so I do want to point out that there's

22:36 ↗ similar speed bumps of this size but a

22:38 ↗ lot there you but a lot higher up in the

22:42 ↗ over Dale Park neighborhood which is

22:43 ↗ just above Fred Meyer and when we were

22:45 ↗ getting speed bumps we thought that's

22:46 ↗ what we were getting not this doesn't do

22:49 ↗ anything right okay you're at me I don't

22:54 ↗ know it's my mom now

22:55 ↗ oh she's okay thank you this is an

22:59 ↗ example of a signage of a left-hand turn

23:00 ↗ restriction that has been placed in the

23:02 ↗ DARS neighborhood which is up above the

23:04 ↗ map on the way into the high school what

23:08 ↗ we're having a hard time comprehending

23:09 ↗ right now is our restrictions were taken

23:12 ↗ out at the same time that these ones

23:13 ↗ were put in so even though they have

23:15 ↗ similar traffic issues for one segment

23:18 ↗ which is just the high school and the

23:20 ↗ middle school we've got that as well as

23:24 ↗ commuters that are cutting through our

23:25 ↗ neighborhoods I don't understand why

23:28 ↗ those signs were installed and ours were

23:30 ↗ taken out if you would take a look at

23:32 ↗ that where it says what accept buses

23:34 ↗ that would be a really easy place to

23:36 ↗ insert permits only local permits

23:41 ↗ instead of accept us and we've got lots

23:43 ↗ more information and we're not stopping

23:45 ↗ we will be back

23:47 ↗ Thank You Heather and Malia tisha who

23:51 ↗ else has signed up this evening

23:54 ↗ Jennifer Crone

24:04 ↗ hello my name is Jennifer Crone

24:07 ↗ I'm a resident 300 southeast Bush Street

24:12 ↗ I'm here to support the the traffic

24:15 ↗ calming concerns Heather and Malia set

24:20 ↗ up an email for people to send in

24:22 ↗ comments about what was happening and

24:24 ↗ here's a couple that illustrate pretty

24:26 ↗ well some of the concerns we all have

24:30 ↗ this woman says I live on 400 block on

24:33 ↗ Northeast alder Street Monday Tuesday

24:35 ↗ Thursday Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 7:50

24:38 ↗ a.m. traffic speeds down the street with

24:41 ↗ reckless abandon

24:42 ↗ students and families in a race to get

24:44 ↗ ahead of the traffic on sunset speed up

24:46 ↗ from the first stop up and over the mr.

24:49 ↗ Toad's Wild Ride traffic calming fun

24:51 ↗ ride hump to the next stop sign one

24:54 ↗ particularly busy morning I stood

24:56 ↗ outside in my pajamas and counted 56

24:58 ↗ cars passed me in just five minutes

25:02 ↗ very few hit the brakes going over the

25:04 ↗ hump this scenario repeats itself in the

25:07 ↗ early afternoon and again between 5:00

25:09 ↗ and 6:00 p.m. the sidewalk access in

25:12 ↗ this neighborhood continues to be spotty

25:13 ↗ with many sidewalks dead ending in

25:15 ↗ someone's yard or cut off by overhanging

25:17 ↗ branches or broken sidewalks thus

25:19 ↗ neighbors with babies and strollers

25:21 ↗ people walking their pets children on

25:23 ↗ bikes are walking are in the habit of

25:25 ↗ walking on the street or in the alleys

25:27 ↗ unfortunately the cut through people

25:29 ↗ appear to be focused only on getting

25:31 ↗ ahead of the line not on driving 25 or

25:34 ↗ slowing for pedestrians

25:36 ↗ instead they race down the streets and

25:38 ↗ alleyways taking exception to being

25:40 ↗ asked to slow down just as Malia and

25:42 ↗ Heather said last year I sat outside my

25:46 ↗ house at the same time of morning and

25:47 ↗ evening each day and documented the

25:49 ↗ number of cars passing and I shared this

25:51 ↗ information excusing traffic concern

25:55 ↗ meetings I attended numerous meetings to

25:57 ↗ make sure I was informed then I was just

25:59 ↗ made at the ultimate results of the

26:01 ↗ traffic calming humps supposedly they

26:04 ↗ are the same height as the rubber trial

26:06 ↗ humps install them on top of the roadway

26:08 ↗ when these humps were installed the

26:10 ↗ roadway was cut away making me wonder if

26:12 ↗ they were actually shorter than the

26:14 ↗ rubber

26:14 ↗ humps in any event they are not calming

26:17 ↗ or slowing the traffic this year October

26:20 ↗ 2 I contacted the city and requested the

26:23 ↗ speed limit trailer I was informed that

26:25 ↗ my case was closed because the police

26:27 ↗ were monitoring the speed of traffic I

26:29 ↗ was encouraged to contact the city again

26:31 ↗ if this continued since my efforts were

26:34 ↗ futile I did not bother contacting them

26:36 ↗ again my concerns about the safety of

26:40 ↗ the residents continue to persist many

26:42 ↗ of the pass through people are on their

26:45 ↗ phones or talking to others as they

26:46 ↗ speed down the street with the new speed

26:49 ↗ limit signs poorly designed traffic

26:51 ↗ calming devices and inattentive drivers

26:53 ↗ it seems only a matter of time before

26:54 ↗ the situation moves from Annoying and

26:56 ↗ dangerous to deadly and it already has

27:01 ↗ in addition old town residents are held

27:03 ↗ hostage in the morning since the people

27:05 ↗ who have cut through to get ahead are

27:07 ↗ blocking the right turn lane and

27:08 ↗ intersection at 2nd and sunset further

27:11 ↗ exacerbating the traffic problems on

27:13 ↗ sunset

27:14 ↗ finally the birch tree on the corner of

27:16 ↗ sunset and 2nd is overgrown and blocks

27:18 ↗ the view of oncoming traffic for anyone

27:20 ↗ attempting a right turn on sunset from

27:22 ↗ 2nd Avenue thank you for your time and

27:24 ↗ here's another one we live near the

27:29 ↗ corner of 6th and bush drivers most look

27:33 ↗ like teenagers take the corner so fast

27:35 ↗ that sometimes I'm terrified that they

27:37 ↗ will end up in our lawn they often seem

27:40 ↗ to do it intentionally intentionally and

27:42 ↗ we'll go around the block many times in

27:43 ↗ a row before we bought our house this

27:46 ↗ actually happened a car nearly went

27:48 ↗ through the front door it's scary

27:50 ↗ people often take the speed bump so

27:52 ↗ quickly it's like they aren't there I

27:54 ↗ can think of at least 6 or 7 kids that

27:56 ↗ live around this corner including our

27:58 ↗ toddler it's incredibly scary to watch

28:00 ↗ cars race through the neighborhood

28:01 ↗ whether its high schoolers or drivers

28:03 ↗ obviously cutting through to get to i-90

28:05 ↗ or the Highlands when we moved in this

28:07 ↗ spring we noticed police officers

28:09 ↗ patrolling this area frequently that

28:11 ↗ different happens anymore and drivers

28:12 ↗ seem to be aware that they won't be

28:14 ↗ penalized for breaking the rules

28:16 ↗ anyway this as you can see we have a lot

28:20 ↗ of concerned neighbors and these are

28:23 ↗ things that I have observed as a

28:24 ↗ resident as well it's scary I am worried

28:27 ↗ that

28:28 ↗ somebody is there is going to be a fatal

28:30 ↗ accident and I just hope that we get

28:32 ↗ something taken care of before that

28:34 ↗ happens

28:34 ↗ thank you for your time Thank You

28:36 ↗ Jennifer chef Gail Paula Deen's my name

28:45 ↗ is Gayle paladinous

28:47 ↗ and I reside at June I know Southie

28:49 ↗ Sanders Street I'm a resident obviously

28:53 ↗ I would like to speak about the traffic

28:57 ↗ coming in our area as the ladies before

29:01 ↗ me have on the street next box down is

29:05 ↗ Andrews we started with the traffic

29:09 ↗ calming last year when lean first

29:11 ↗ installed japanes on our street those

29:15 ↗ didn't work out they didn't slow the

29:17 ↗ traffic down they caused a parking

29:20 ↗ problem then they came out and installed

29:24 ↗ humps these humps that are in the

29:27 ↗ roadway now are totally ineffective cars

29:32 ↗ are speeding down not slowing if you're

29:37 ↗ crossing I myself have never been nearly

29:40 ↗ hit when I have looked to see if there

29:43 ↗ were cars coming saw one way down the

29:46 ↗ road proceeded to cross to get my mail

29:48 ↗ and I was nearly hit by a young fellow

29:52 ↗ in a truck I think we really need to do

29:57 ↗ something about the left hand turns off

30:00 ↗ of sunset on the 6th all of these cars

30:04 ↗ are funneling down on to birth Street

30:07 ↗ and Andrews as well and I thank very

30:12 ↗ much for your time

30:14 ↗ Thank You Gayle

30:16 ↗ Teesha Gayle Gibbon good evening I'm

30:26 ↗ Gayle given and I live at three six zero

30:29 ↗ on the southeast

30:31 ↗ Andrews Street bypass yes that is the

30:35 ↗ highway that connects people exiting the

30:37 ↗ freeway to get to Issaquah Hobart Road I

30:41 ↗ got some laughs with that several years

30:44 ↗ ago when I made that comment and it's

30:47 ↗ still a sad joke after many years of

30:51 ↗ trying to do something about the cut

30:53 ↗ through traffic in our neighborhood we

30:56 ↗ residents were told that the city was

30:58 ↗ going to enact traffic calming measures

31:01 ↗ at one point our mayor Mary Mary Pauli

31:06 ↗ stood with her feet firmly planted

31:08 ↗ outside the City Hall and told me in my

31:10 ↗ neighbor Jenny King Bingham not to worry

31:13 ↗ because the no left turn signs on Sunset

31:16 ↗ will stay I decided right then that miss

31:20 ↗ Polly really cared about our

31:22 ↗ neighborhood after much research and

31:25 ↗ neighborhood input it was decided we

31:27 ↗ would get speed humps and a circle on

31:30 ↗ Andrews then we were informed that we no

31:34 ↗ longer needed the signs on Sunset I

31:39 ↗ believe that the city had this in mind

31:42 ↗ early in the process

31:45 ↗ well we residents tried to be calm and

31:48 ↗ hope that traffic really would get

31:50 ↗ better however almost immediately the

31:53 ↗ speed humps turned into an obstacle

31:56 ↗ course a challenge for speeding drivers

31:59 ↗ who realized that it was now a

32:01 ↗ free-for-all those who don't like the

32:04 ↗ speed humps just race down the alley

32:07 ↗ today traffic on our street is worse

32:10 ↗ than ever

32:11 ↗ with car after car speeding through

32:13 ↗ endangering children mothers with

32:16 ↗ strollers teenagers on skateboards and

32:18 ↗ bicycles people in wheelchairs special

32:22 ↗ needs residents and senior citizens

32:24 ↗ crossing the street to get there male

32:27 ↗ residents

32:28 ↗ you know letdown resigned angry and

32:32 ↗ hopeless something must change checking

32:37 ↗ your work by laying out traffic counters

32:39 ↗ again and restoring those signs would be

32:43 ↗ a good start

32:44 ↗ thank you Thank You Gail to show next

32:48 ↗ jenny Bingham mayor council I'm back

33:00 ↗ traffic calming as you well know hi I

33:04 ↗ probably visited this 18 years ago when

33:08 ↗ they built the highlands and the traffic

33:11 ↗ began to come because the high

33:12 ↗ schooler's from the highlands were

33:15 ↗ starting to use our side streets there

33:18 ↗ was no light there but then it was even

33:21 ↗ backed up worse so and I spoke about the

33:27 ↗ need and I'm sure you that we're here at

33:30 ↗ the time I spoke then five years ago

33:33 ↗ four years ago three years ago the need

33:36 ↗ for crosswalks running east and west on

33:38 ↗ fourth fifth six both of sunset and

33:43 ↗ again on Andrews and Bush wherever

33:46 ↗ traffic crossed had there been a

33:50 ↗ crosswalk perhaps that gentleman would

33:53 ↗ have used it and the poor lady that hit

33:55 ↗ him wouldn't have to go through what she

33:58 ↗ is going through to date no crosswalks

34:04 ↗ missing sidewalks for little Amy who has

34:09 ↗ to come down Andrew Street and go out in

34:12 ↗ the road

34:13 ↗ in the mean time somebody's jetting

34:16 ↗ around 4th Avenue hits the speed from

34:18 ↗ practically goes in the air to zoom down

34:21 ↗ to 2nd Avenue when they get there

34:24 ↗ they're seven or eight cars lined up

34:25 ↗ don't know if they're faster so in the

34:30 ↗ same thing that Gayle said you you put

34:33 ↗ the speed bumps up and took the signs

34:36 ↗ down there was no answer why other than

34:38 ↗ the city felt that we that

34:40 ↗ that they didn't need them had we have

34:43 ↗ known that ahead of time that it was

34:45 ↗ going to be a bait-and-switch we may

34:46 ↗ have asked for more

34:48 ↗ we got $100,000 we were told and I'm

34:52 ↗ sure part of that was on the study of it

34:55 ↗ spent but for streets that means only

35:00 ↗ 250,000 dollars was spent per Street on

35:03 ↗ traffic calming gosh I could remodel my

35:06 ↗ house for $250,000

35:10 ↗ so we claimed about the cuts through

35:13 ↗ traffic with a highly losses built in

35:15 ↗ almost 20 years lazier it's a nightmare

35:17 ↗ as our streets are used as a city's

35:20 ↗ bypass so that sunset way and second

35:22 ↗ Avenue runs smoother with less

35:25 ↗ congestion so it looks like it's a

35:27 ↗ croisé an inviting city as long as

35:30 ↗ everybody comes student doesn't know

35:32 ↗ they're all traveling down our little

35:33 ↗ streets so I guess I'm asking the city

35:39 ↗ at this point I understand $400,000 is

35:43 ↗ being spent on confluence park for

35:48 ↗ pretty new grass and irrigation is that

35:53 ↗ more important than what this gentleman

35:57 ↗ has gone through and a child that may

36:00 ↗ die ongoing you guys could switch money

36:06 ↗ switch money save a life please Thank

36:10 ↗ You Jenny

36:10 ↗ you sure next bill fries and jerk

36:23 ↗ I'm bill Frey singer I live at 4:15

36:26 ↗ southeast Bush Street and I want to

36:29 ↗ thank the city for the traffic calming

36:31 ↗ study in the way they involve the

36:33 ↗ neighborhood in it I realized some

36:37 ↗ people are frustrated with it there in

36:39 ↗ me very well we need to be tweaked I

36:41 ↗ wouldn't argue with that in particular

36:43 ↗ if we could make it so you could do a

36:46 ↗ left turn for only four residents that

36:50 ↗ would be great

36:51 ↗ former mayor that I know well claim that

36:53 ↗ was illegal he said he couldn't do that

36:55 ↗ but revisiting the issue to see if it's

36:58 ↗ can be made to work would be wonderful

37:02 ↗ the humps are not the dumps are more

37:06 ↗ probably as high as they were before but

37:08 ↗ they're spread out much longer so you

37:11 ↗ can so you can faculty take them faster

37:13 ↗ than you could with the one in the study

37:15 ↗ but the thing I noticed on the humps is

37:18 ↗ the humps are located only ninety feet

37:20 ↗ back from the stop sign like its second

37:22 ↗ and in second and Bush and you already

37:27 ↗ got to slow then because you got a stop

37:29 ↗ sign so it would seem to me be better

37:31 ↗ having him further back and of course

37:33 ↗ sharper would help too

37:35 ↗ although I had the sharper of course is

37:37 ↗ it more of a problem of the snowplow I

37:38 ↗ suspect the gradualness was driven by

37:40 ↗ the snowplow and the your planning

37:44 ↗ department may know why it makes sense

37:45 ↗ to have the bumps so close to the stop

37:47 ↗ sign but it would be good to have an

37:49 ↗ explanation on that anyway thank you

37:52 ↗ very much for your consideration thank

37:53 ↗ you Bill to show Marcy O'Neil

38:04 ↗ hello my name is Marcy O'Neill I thought

38:07 ↗ that 441 North East alder I won't repeat

38:11 ↗ myself because the email that was read

38:15 ↗ to you the first one was from me and I

38:18 ↗ I'm not here to complain I I work in

38:23 ↗ school system and I really take pride in

38:25 ↗ being proactive in being solutions

38:28 ↗ oriented I just really stymied at how to

38:33 ↗ be a part of the solution you know as I

38:36 ↗ said I stood out and I took my data and

38:39 ↗ and different times of the day and

38:40 ↗ documented and those things when I even

38:45 ↗ go to stand outside or like will make a

38:49 ↗ comment to someone about hey please slow

38:51 ↗ down I can't tell you how many times

38:54 ↗ I've been flipped off sworn at people

38:57 ↗ are getting more aggressive and more

38:59 ↗ focused just solely on their needs

39:01 ↗ rather than on being in a neighborhood

39:05 ↗ there are no speed limit signs and I

39:07 ↗ know people should know that they should

39:09 ↗ be going 25 but they don't it's a hyper

39:13 ↗ hyper focus like this to get through and

39:16 ↗ I promise you I I know that I guess the

39:20 ↗ families and the kids because I taught a

39:22 ↗ lot of them when I was up at Pacific

39:26 ↗ cascade middle school and I see him and

39:29 ↗ a lot of them they just laugh when they

39:31 ↗ go by they want to get through and they

39:34 ↗ go from one stop sign to the next stop

39:37 ↗ sign and you can hear the engines Rev

39:40 ↗ just room so that they can get ahead of

39:43 ↗ the line get down to the street on

39:45 ↗ second and then get across the road the

39:49 ↗ my neighborhood in particular there have

39:52 ↗ been increase in a number used to be

39:55 ↗ primarily elderly people oh but a lot

39:58 ↗ more young children and then also some

40:01 ↗ elderly people who are you know limited

40:03 ↗ in their mobility and everyday

40:08 ↗ that today is going to be the day that

40:10 ↗ this happens I I don't know what the

40:13 ↗ answer is

40:14 ↗ I wanted disappea Dragon because last

40:19 ↗ year we had and it seemed to calm things

40:21 ↗ down a little bit it increase people's

40:23 ↗ awareness but when I asked that I was a

40:26 ↗ little taken aback by the response I got

40:28 ↗ that the that the police were taking

40:32 ↗ care of it and we're watching the speed

40:34 ↗ while I can promise you every single

40:37 ↗ morning like clockwork you can just hear

40:42 ↗ at between 7:30 and 7:50 when the people

40:47 ↗ are taking the alleyways beat both

40:49 ↗ behind my house and in front of the

40:51 ↗ house to get down the street and beat

40:55 ↗ the sunset traffic so I I will

40:58 ↗ participate in anything that I can do to

41:01 ↗ be proactive and to be part of the

41:03 ↗ solution but I do not see that that the

41:08 ↗ humps have calmed the traffic and in

41:10 ↗ fact because people want to get ahead

41:13 ↗ and get from stop sign to stop sign on

41:16 ↗ my block it goes from 5th Avenue to 3rd

41:20 ↗ Avenue and that one block they pick up

41:23 ↗ speed so that they can get down there

41:25 ↗ quicker so thank you Thank You Marcy the

41:31 ↗ show next bill Morse

41:39 ↗ it's bill here bill will not be speaking

41:45 ↗ this evening no worries

41:48 ↗ next on the list Maryland Leland

41:51 ↗ Maryland Leland okay

41:55 ↗ rongling date David leave Leland okay

42:02 ↗ is there anyone else on the list tisha

42:05 ↗ no no one further has signed up

42:08 ↗ absolutely if you want to just raise

42:11 ↗ your hand and come over here and form a

42:12 ↗ little I'm sure we'll continue with

42:14 ↗ speakers hi my name's Michael Tyson

42:22 ↗ I live at 4:40 Suns that way I've lived

42:25 ↗ there for 25 years so obviously there's

42:28 ↗ been a lot of changes in that time I

42:31 ↗ will tell you some of the people are

42:34 ↗ talking about crosswalks and the lights

42:36 ↗ for the crosswalks on sunset way there

42:41 ↗ used to be a crosswalk on 6th and sunset

42:45 ↗ and they repaved the street one day of

42:48 ↗ several years back and the crosswalk

42:51 ↗ went away and after that is when they

42:54 ↗ developed that parking area for Tiger

42:57 ↗ Mountain hiking so there's a lot more

43:00 ↗ people using that now than used and

43:03 ↗ there used to be and so I think it's the

43:07 ↗ crosswalks that have been mentioned and

43:09 ↗ the lights are needed people come flying

43:12 ↗ down that hill and and if we could start

43:16 ↗ to slow that down somehow I think that

43:21 ↗ would be worthwhile and I and I think

43:24 ↗ the crosswalks it's it's hard for my

43:27 ↗ wife and I we walk a lot and we hike a

43:31 ↗ lot and it's a little bit difficult to

43:36 ↗ get across Suns that way in fact

43:38 ↗ sometimes it's kind of impossible unless

43:41 ↗ you want to get out there and play dodge

43:44 ↗ dodge car with your body so I think the

43:50 ↗ the crosswalks and the lights are

43:52 ↗ definitely needed the one by the police

43:55 ↗ station here

43:56 ↗ is helpful and you know I'd like to see

44:01 ↗ that along maybe that would at least

44:05 ↗ regularly have people have to slow down

44:08 ↗ and especially that one coming down the

44:11 ↗ hill at six there is incredibly

44:13 ↗ dangerous thank you thank you Mike own

44:17 ↗ Elizabeth well my name is Elizabeth

44:23 ↗ moped

44:24 ↗ I live at 100 big bear place tonight

44:28 ↗ I'm here partly to speak to agenda bill

44:33 ↗ seven eight three three which has to do

44:37 ↗ with the B&O tax I think it's great that

44:43 ↗ you are simplifying the business and

44:47 ↗ occupational tax and the definition of

44:51 ↗ businesses and thank you I'll also take

44:57 ↗ a moment to say that I'm glad to know

45:00 ↗ that the city is trying to work on some

45:03 ↗ plan for severe weather in the city when

45:11 ↗ it gets really cold and we have snow on

45:15 ↗ the ground and traffic problems like the

45:20 ↗ buses change their routes the people who

45:24 ↗ are living outside and who really need

45:26 ↗ shelter don't know where the buses have

45:31 ↗ gone if the city can't provide any kind

45:36 ↗ of local shelter and we're expecting

45:38 ↗ people to go elsewhere to get out of the

45:42 ↗ cold we could at least have the city put

45:46 ↗ some signs up at the usual bus stops

45:49 ↗ near the center of town to tell people

45:54 ↗ where the bus

45:55 ↗ moved to last time we had severe weather

45:59 ↗ with snow people didn't know where the

46:02 ↗ buses were and I would also encourage

46:07 ↗ the city to continue to think about the

46:12 ↗ fact that we have no Human Services

46:15 ↗ campus we have no day center we have no

46:20 ↗ emergency shelter in Issaquah those are

46:24 ↗ things that would still make our city

46:28 ↗ much better thank you very much thank

46:30 ↗ you Elizabeth my name is Julia Seidman I

46:38 ↗ live at 433 southeast Clark Street which

46:43 ↗ is just off of Bush Street and I am

46:47 ↗ gonna read from my phone so when my

46:53 ↗ husband and I were looking for a home

46:55 ↗ where we could raise our children we

46:58 ↗ pedestrian friendly neighborhood was one

47:01 ↗ of our top requirements we wanted to

47:03 ↗ establish our family in a community

47:05 ↗ where we could make walking a part of

47:07 ↗ our daily routine and there are a lot of

47:10 ↗ reasons for that reasons that I believe

47:13 ↗ that many people in the community share

47:19 ↗ when we moved to our home just off Bush

47:22 ↗ Street we thought we'd found the place

47:24 ↗ where we could do that safely and

47:26 ↗ reliably in the last couple of years and

47:30 ↗ I actually don't know how long I've

47:32 ↗ lived there nine years I think heaven

47:35 ↗ nine years Heather says I've lived there

47:38 ↗ nine years in the last couple of years

47:41 ↗ my sense that the city is committed to

47:44 ↗ maintaining that aspect of our

47:46 ↗ neighborhood has been weakened my

47:49 ↗ daughter who is now in kindergarten it

47:52 ↗ clark attended giggly Wiggly preschool

47:54 ↗ which is I always feel a little silly

47:56 ↗ saying it but it's a pretty school for

47:58 ↗ the last two years

47:59 ↗ giggly Wiggly is located on 6th Avenue

48:02 ↗ between sunset and Andrews and Andrew

48:06 ↗ Street we walk to school

48:08 ↗ most of the time three or four days a

48:10 ↗ week regardless of the weather with my

48:14 ↗ son in the stroller and Evie

48:16 ↗ sometimes on a scooter sometimes on a

48:18 ↗ bike most often on foot after school on

48:21 ↗ nice days we would often go to the park

48:24 ↗ right over here by sight by City Hall

48:26 ↗ each time we had to make a choice would

48:30 ↗ we walk down sunset crossing an

48:33 ↗ uncontrolled intersection there's no

48:37 ↗ crosswalk no light and then where the

48:41 ↗ sidewalks were continuous although

48:43 ↗ narrow cracked uneven overhung with

48:46 ↗ blackberry lacking crosswalks and where

48:49 ↗ drivers jockey to make left turns

48:51 ↗ through the neighborhood rather than

48:53 ↗ wait at the light or would we walk down

48:57 ↗ Andrews Street where the visibility is

48:59 ↗ better but the sidewalks are frequently

49:02 ↗ interrupted by gravel and grass and lack

49:05 ↗ ramps rendering them basically useless

49:07 ↗ for anyone pushing a stroller riding a

49:09 ↗ scooter or using a wheelchair

49:12 ↗ fortunately we never had any accidents

49:14 ↗ beyond getting thrown off the scooter by

49:17 ↗ the cracks in the sidewalk and I had

49:19 ↗ never spent too much time worrying about

49:21 ↗ that choice but now virtually in front

49:26 ↗ of giggly Wiggly there are bloodstains

49:29 ↗ and paint marks from an accident

49:31 ↗ investigation visible from the top of

49:34 ↗ the slide in the play yard

49:35 ↗ my daughter's preschool teacher made the

49:39 ↗ 911 after that accident can you imagine

49:44 ↗ if there had been children there to

49:47 ↗ witness it the one lane road past the

49:50 ↗ door of the front door two giggly Wiggly

49:52 ↗ used to be essentially a driveway but is

49:56 ↗ now a fire lane because of the town

49:58 ↗ homes near the trailhead and the parking

50:00 ↗ area their parents now can't park in

50:04 ↗ front of the school for drop-off anymore

50:06 ↗ so they have to park on 6th Avenue

50:09 ↗ dozens of preschoolers now cross the

50:13 ↗ road in that exact spot every week

50:18 ↗ hundreds of cars each day turned left

50:21 ↗ out of traffic across their path when

50:24 ↗ Evie began school there the left turn in

50:27 ↗ that accident would have been illegal

50:29 ↗ my son will start preschool there this

50:32 ↗ spring and I hope that by the time he

50:35 ↗ does City Council has gotten the message

50:37 ↗ and stopped prioritizing development and

50:40 ↗ commuters over the rights of Modesto and

50:44 ↗ my neighbors thank you lots of hands in

50:49 ↗ the air is there anyone else I would

50:51 ↗ like to come up and speak with David

50:52 ↗ come on up this is different

51:00 ↗ David Kapler 255 southeast and Ruth

51:03 ↗ Street I actually live on the western

51:07 ↗ end just just east of second on Andrews

51:10 ↗ and I've noticed personally in my

51:12 ↗ particular part of the street a

51:15 ↗ significant improvement with the city's

51:17 ↗ project but we got significant problems

51:22 ↗ there's still the speeding certainly on

51:25 ↗ the eastern part of Andrews which

51:27 ↗ actually is the original main street of

51:29 ↗ Issaquah and still doesn't have

51:32 ↗ sidewalks it des predates I 90 us 10

51:38 ↗ sunset highway the whole bit and if we

51:41 ↗ still finally bred screws got all the

51:44 ↗ stumps out of the road and we don't have

51:46 ↗ collapsing road anymore but we still a

51:49 ↗ lack of sidewalks and that's a street

51:52 ↗ you can be real sloppy in going

51:57 ↗ westbound on Sunset and come into sixth

52:00 ↗ because of the lack of curbs and just

52:03 ↗ how that is laid out and I think that

52:05 ↗ just kind of sets up speed makes it

52:09 ↗ easier for people to decide they're

52:11 ↗ going to jump through a small gap in

52:13 ↗ traffic and coming through that

52:15 ↗ intersection on speed they also continue

52:18 ↗ their speed as they go to six they want

52:20 ↗ to get to bush bushes smoother surface

52:23 ↗ it's one block closer to getting out of

52:26 ↗ town or wherever

52:27 ↗ going but also if you come down Bush to

52:32 ↗ second it's a lot easier typically to

52:34 ↗ make a left turn or to go through over

52:37 ↗ to Front Street at that intersection

52:38 ↗ than it is in Andrews and that's because

52:41 ↗ that that crosswalk its second and bush

52:45 ↗ is quite active so traffic stops with a

52:48 ↗ further for the pedestrians and the cars

52:52 ↗ zoom across either straight across or go

52:55 ↗ southbound on second remember Andrew

53:01 ↗ straight turns is just a private

53:03 ↗ driveway when you get to the back of the

53:05 ↗ dollar store all the way out to front

53:07 ↗ and it's basically a driveway in front

53:09 ↗ there's no crosswalk there it's not that

53:12 ↗ easy to go laughter south if you come

53:16 ↗ out of the shopping data shopping area

53:18 ↗ so much better if you're on on Bush at

53:24 ↗ the same time don't solve all the

53:26 ↗ problems for Bush and driving all day

53:28 ↗ and earth Street I think there's some

53:32 ↗ things we can do significant things that

53:35 ↗ will really help the situation but

53:37 ↗ there's some real reasons people are

53:39 ↗ choosing Bush and choosing able to to

53:43 ↗ drive inappropriately on six and on Bush

53:46 ↗ thank you David

53:48 ↗ anyone else was he to speak this evening

53:51 ↗ come on up Mary my name is Mary Lynch

53:58 ↗ and I reside at 2 6 9 O Northwest Oak

54:00 ↗ Crest Drive Issaquah Washington I went

54:02 ↗ to first just talk about the coming

54:05 ↗ efforts and all over in Old Town the

54:08 ↗ school zones I really do support that

54:09 ↗ that needs to be moved and reevaluated

54:12 ↗ over there on 2nd Street it needs to

54:15 ↗ come closer to sunset this early this

54:21 ↗ September I wrote a citizen's actual

54:23 ↗ request for the radar signed going

54:26 ↗ northbound because the trees have been

54:28 ↗ hiding it all summer and it took over a

54:31 ↗ month for me to get a reply and the

54:33 ↗ reply got back in the city was an

54:34 ↗ indirect ones you know we've already

54:36 ↗ closed it out because we talked to the

54:37 ↗ homeowner and they cut the tree back the

54:41 ↗ it's been removed totally the flashing

54:43 ↗ beats that his moot is gone totally now

54:45 ↗ and that should be closer I think to

54:49 ↗ Bush the one on set on sunset I think

54:54 ↗ needs to be moved further out because

54:56 ↗ it's move so close to where you make the

54:58 ↗ turn on to sunset from second that

55:02 ↗ people are already you know they're

55:03 ↗ twenty five miles an hour if you moved

55:06 ↗ it out I think would help and the one

55:08 ↗ coming into town off the highlands I

55:10 ↗ think also needs to be moved closer

55:12 ↗ because people are not slowing down when

55:14 ↗ they're coming down the hill until they

55:16 ↗ get past that radar sign and I think

55:19 ↗ that's why you've got so many people

55:20 ↗ they're coming speeding down from the

55:22 ↗ highlands and they cut in on 6th Avenue

55:25 ↗ who had a very high rate of speed and I

55:27 ↗ see that every day because they use that

55:28 ↗ area the other thing I want to make is a

55:32 ↗ public announcement I haven't heard it

55:34 ↗ maybe somebody has here starting

55:36 ↗ November 21st the school district is

55:40 ↗ finally with the encouragement from the

55:42 ↗ bus drivers Union has finally started

55:45 ↗ mounting red stop paddle cameras on the

55:48 ↗ buses these are going to be primarily on

55:50 ↗ the main roads where we've had

55:52 ↗ considerable people running through

55:54 ↗ their stop paddles on a daily basis I

55:57 ↗ get three to four cars running my stop

55:59 ↗ paddles

56:00 ↗ luckily most places I do not cross

56:03 ↗ children but I have had them run the

56:04 ↗ stop paddle where I do cross children

56:06 ↗ but starting the 21st of November if

56:10 ↗ that camera catches you you will be

56:12 ↗ getting a four hundred and nineteen

56:14 ↗ dollar fine and that can escalate

56:16 ↗ depending on the number that you get and

56:18 ↗ we're told that you can see if we have a

56:21 ↗ teeth or a piece of something behind

56:24 ↗ your front teeth

56:24 ↗ that camera will get your face as well

56:26 ↗ as your car and make and also your

56:29 ↗ license numbers so please once you see a

56:32 ↗ bus with the yellow lights coming on

56:34 ↗ slow down don't speed through slow down

56:38 ↗ and prepare to come to a stop at least

56:40 ↗ twelve feet back from where the stop

56:43 ↗ paddle extends because if the children

56:45 ↗ have to cross the street they need at

56:48 ↗ least 12 feet between you and the

56:50 ↗ at that stop arm that goes out in the

56:52 ↗ bus to cross the street a lot of times

56:55 ↗ they have cars and they come right up to

56:57 ↗ my stop paddle and that's where they

56:58 ↗ stop thinking they're okay well what if

57:00 ↗ there'd been a child crossing they just

57:02 ↗ ran that that car over but they stop and

57:04 ↗ sometimes I can get the license plates

57:06 ↗ but now my bus will have one of the ones

57:08 ↗ that have the cameras on it so I don't

57:10 ↗ have to try and watch the kids and try

57:12 ↗ and get the the license plate number but

57:16 ↗ luckily that's done it's been over five

57:18 ↗ years that I've been going here to try

57:20 ↗ and get the city to work the school

57:21 ↗ district and going to district board

57:25 ↗ meetings to get it done and luckily the

57:27 ↗ bus drivers union stepped up and has

57:29 ↗ worked with the school district and King

57:31 ↗ County and that will be enforced now

57:33 ↗ straighten November 21st

57:35 ↗ the other thing I do want to say is I

57:37 ↗ got another letter from the city just

57:39 ↗ this afternoon confirming that they did

57:41 ↗ hear us in September I was a little bit

57:45 ↗ frustrated that took us so much effort

57:47 ↗ of coming back and bringing it again

57:48 ↗ after many times to the city but that

57:52 ↗ Bergsma property we're not going to get

57:54 ↗ land taken away from the Berks my

57:56 ↗ property for a Newport Way but you've

57:58 ↗ listened to the citizens there and we're

58:00 ↗ not going to have a sidewalk on the

58:01 ↗ south side we will get our Road

58:04 ↗ hopefully sometime within 40 years but

58:07 ↗ we can save our Park and thank you for

58:08 ↗ listening to the citizens thank you

58:10 ↗ thank you Mary Cory my name is Cory

58:17 ↗ Christensen I live on squawk Mountain

58:19 ↗ and I'd like to talk about a different

58:21 ↗ topic the cemetery so my interest in the

58:25 ↗ cemetery goes back 25 years when I moved

58:27 ↗ here and that had been a few years

58:30 ↗ before that there was a knock-down

58:32 ↗ drag-out battle over the upper hillside

58:35 ↗ Cemetery leaving the neighborhood in a

58:38 ↗ pretty grumpy mood since then my friends

58:41 ↗ my neighbors were concerned that the

58:43 ↗ next thing up the next territorial

58:45 ↗ demand will be our little Park and our

58:48 ↗ little ball field is our only Park on

58:50 ↗ squawk Mountain and that needs to be

58:53 ↗ off-limits from now forever and then so

58:56 ↗ that's one concern the other concern is

58:59 ↗ that there's a in between the park and

59:02 ↗ the cemetery there

59:03 ↗ trail that ends in the cemetery and so

59:06 ↗ when people walk through this from the

59:09 ↗ park through the through the 200-foot

59:11 ↗ buffer they end up walking across the

59:13 ↗ graves in the cemetery nobody likes that

59:15 ↗ and we've asked for years to have a

59:18 ↗ trail put in the 50 foot buffer which

59:21 ↗ runs along the houses on Mount Olympus

59:23 ↗ so people can walk respectfully through

59:26 ↗ the cemetery the real issue is the lack

59:28 ↗ of sidewalks on Mount Olympus that's the

59:31 ↗ problem and we at our small cemetery

59:34 ↗ community meeting one of the homeowners

59:37 ↗ that live there came and brought up

59:39 ↗ about how the neighbors they send their

59:41 ↗ kids out there out through the cemetery

59:43 ↗ to go to the little park those sidewalks

59:45 ↗ are important and they would both make

59:48 ↗ the cemetery make make it so we could be

59:51 ↗ more respectful to the cemetery but also

59:53 ↗ make our neighborhood a lot safer

59:55 ↗ because the it isn't just on Mount

59:58 ↗ Olympus it's connecting to 12th to the

1:00:00 ↗ park-and-ride it's dangerous there the

1:00:03 ↗ other thing other reason I am interested

1:00:05 ↗ in the cemetery so my friends are

1:00:07 ↗ interested

1:00:07 ↗ Linda Elm who's in the cemetery now

1:00:10 ↗ David Wagner chuckle s'en Elizabeth

1:00:13 ↗ Mopan those are all people that talk

1:00:15 ↗ about the cemetery it's important to

1:00:17 ↗ them the other reason I mean interested

1:00:20 ↗ in the cemetery is Flint AHS I like

1:00:22 ↗ falou talks a great company do a lot for

1:00:25 ↗ this this community they care about the

1:00:28 ↗ cemetery so the and you know the parks

1:00:32 ↗ department actually has done a good job

1:00:35 ↗ there

1:00:36 ↗ brian bernstein that meddler Meckler and

1:00:39 ↗ the crew keep do a nice nice job keeping

1:00:42 ↗ the cemetery up however the cemetery is

1:00:45 ↗ in the dark it's they have kind of a

1:00:47 ↗ bunker mentality they're like a rare

1:00:50 ↗ flower every 30 years they come out and

1:00:52 ↗ right now is one of the moments where

1:00:54 ↗ they're coming out a year ago the parks

1:00:57 ↗ director said we were going to have a

1:00:59 ↗ master plan for the cemetery in the

1:01:02 ↗ material that's before you now that has

1:01:04 ↗ gone away we absolutely need a master

1:01:07 ↗ plan when we look at the material that

1:01:09 ↗ they brought forth which for the Parks

1:01:11 ↗ Department is pretty good there's a lot

1:01:12 ↗ of numbers there's a lot of analysis but

1:01:15 ↗ is there enough is there

1:01:17 ↗ and could I pick through a lot of that

1:01:19 ↗ yes but what is really missing is we

1:01:22 ↗ don't have a mission statement for the

1:01:24 ↗ cemetery we have nothing that is a

1:01:27 ↗ guiding policy that tells us where we're

1:01:30 ↗ going with that cemetery we also don't

1:01:33 ↗ have any guiding principles that rule

1:01:34 ↗ the cemetery for example I walk through

1:01:37 ↗ the neighborhood and one of my neighbors

1:01:38 ↗ has a sign that says I love my Muslim

1:01:41 ↗ neighbor but for our cemetery we have

1:01:44 ↗ nothing in this city that says we

1:01:46 ↗ respect other religions or that they're

1:01:49 ↗ invited to be in the cemetery and even

1:01:51 ↗ beyond that we don't do anything that

1:01:54 ↗ welcomes those people and what are the

1:01:57 ↗ reasons we need a master plan and to be

1:01:59 ↗ thinking further out of the box more

1:02:02 ↗ community engagement than one little

1:02:03 ↗ meeting with just a few people is we

1:02:06 ↗ have people in our community from all

1:02:07 ↗ over the world and their needs for

1:02:09 ↗ burials and all this sort of thing it's

1:02:12 ↗ out of my it's out of my job description

1:02:13 ↗ but we need to bring those people in and

1:02:16 ↗ respect their needs so how do we do that

1:02:19 ↗ most of most of what we're looking at

1:02:21 ↗ now is basically headless because what

1:02:24 ↗ we're asking is we're asking the parks

1:02:27 ↗ department the cemetery board and

1:02:31 ↗ Flintoff who are all people that should

1:02:33 ↗ be implementing policy to create the

1:02:35 ↗ policy and so what we actually need here

1:02:38 ↗ is a cemetery plan where you guys think

1:02:40 ↗ of what the policies are that in the end

1:02:44 ↗ the mission statement of where we're

1:02:47 ↗ gonna go and then apply what we're

1:02:49 ↗ looking at now as far as what we're

1:02:51 ↗ looking at now I support the fee

1:02:54 ↗ increases though I think the the

1:02:57 ↗ low-income fee needs to be pushed aside

1:02:59 ↗ and figured out later I do not support

1:03:02 ↗ the upper the excuse me the lower

1:03:05 ↗ hillside column barians until they are

1:03:08 ↗ put into a master plan they're creative

1:03:11 ↗ there's some great ideas but they need

1:03:13 ↗ to be a solution that comes out of

1:03:15 ↗ master planning that that is a broader

1:03:18 ↗ broader a broader more redundant robust

1:03:22 ↗ thing thank you thank you Cory hands in

1:03:26 ↗ the air anyone else wishing to address

1:03:27 ↗ the council this evening second call oh

1:03:32 ↗ come on up sir

1:03:38 ↗ Ted Jenniskens excuse me 465 southeast

1:03:42 ↗ crossed in Lane I'm curious if there's

1:03:45 ↗ ever any communication with the school

1:03:47 ↗ district about the amount of traffic or

1:03:51 ↗ parents bringing their kids to school

1:03:52 ↗ and the kids just going to school is

1:03:56 ↗ there a way to reduce that amount of

1:03:57 ↗ traffic is there some kind of dialogue

1:04:01 ↗ we can have with them it's just I see

1:04:03 ↗ living there I see when the when the

1:04:05 ↗ when they're coming to school they're

1:04:07 ↗ leaving to school in the afternoon and

1:04:09 ↗ the mornings there's just a whole lot of

1:04:11 ↗ traffic a whole lot of frustration and

1:04:13 ↗ then you get people trying to cut

1:04:14 ↗ through making bad turns and it just

1:04:17 ↗ gets to be a mess that's really all I

1:04:20 ↗ have to say is I'm no I I know that

1:04:23 ↗ there are other school districts around

1:04:24 ↗ the country that limit parents bringing

1:04:27 ↗ their kids to school less traffic we've

1:04:31 ↗ got school buses mass transit great

1:04:34 ↗ program should be used thank you Thank

1:16:45 ↗ are all leaders in their professions and

1:16:47 ↗ who served in various capacities

1:16:51 ↗ this evening who serves as the executive

1:16:52 ↗ director of the regional chamber of

1:16:54 ↗ commerce in Issaquah so how did we get

1:16:57 ↗ here as Tim mentioned several years ago

1:17:01 ↗ the city and the chamber of commerce

1:17:02 ↗ contracted with Roger Brooks who is a

1:17:04 ↗ professional destination specialist in

1:17:06 ↗ tourism and in downtown development and

1:17:10 ↗ he was called in to engage the community

1:17:13 ↗ in creating a plan for the formation of

1:17:16 ↗ a destination marketing organization and

1:17:18 ↗ many people who are in this room were

1:17:20 ↗ part of that process and if we can

1:17:23 ↗ switch to the next slide you can see

1:17:25 ↗ that there are a lot of organizations

1:17:27 ↗ that are on this slide that we will be

1:17:30 ↗ working with and collaborating with for

1:17:32 ↗ the purpose of promoting the city going

1:17:33 ↗ forward including fish the trails Club

1:17:36 ↗ the Washington State Parks and sukwon

1:17:38 ↗ museums Sugar Mountain Zoo Downtown DIA

1:17:43 ↗ fast-tracked to 2019 here we are to kick

1:17:46 ↗ off our program next slide Tim he's a

1:17:50 ↗ great assistant in April we had an

1:17:54 ↗ interactive conversation about tourism

1:17:56 ↗ at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon in

1:17:58 ↗ them again our an emergent process into

1:18:00 ↗ various aspects of the city and assets

1:18:03 ↗ of the city and in the next slide I will

1:18:07 ↗ show that I attended the Seattle hotel

1:18:09 ↗ concierge Association tradeshow which

1:18:13 ↗ was hosted in Seattle and we have a

1:18:14 ↗ great volunteer in Charlotte Mooney she

1:18:17 ↗ volunteers with dia quite a bit and she

1:18:19 ↗ actually introduced me to the Seattle

1:18:21 ↗ group she was a part of the concierge

1:18:23 ↗ group and we're gonna have them out here

1:18:25 ↗ for a tour in a couple months

1:18:28 ↗ so in the next slide you can see that

1:18:31 ↗ we've been featured in four to five

1:18:35 ↗ magazine actually that's not the slide

1:18:36 ↗ but there it is

1:18:38 ↗ we've been featured in four to five

1:18:39 ↗ magazines several times this year with

1:18:42 ↗ features and mentions I've also

1:18:44 ↗ participated with visit Seattle visit

1:18:47 ↗ Seattle partnership enables us to

1:18:48 ↗ participate in a number of events and

1:18:50 ↗ that includes their annual meeting and

1:18:52 ↗ their tourism and hotel summit and

1:18:54 ↗ symposium and that provides information

1:18:56 ↗ on the tourism economy here in the area

1:18:58 ↗ we also through our membership in the

1:19:01 ↗ Washington tourism Alliance we're able

1:19:31 ↗ plan and enhance community engagement

1:19:33 ↗ promotions campaign to build on the

1:19:36 ↗ excitement for this event which is going

1:19:39 ↗ to be happening in an Olympic year which

1:19:41 ↗ is very exciting we think we are going

1:19:42 ↗ to be the last stop on the tour before

1:19:44 ↗ the only big games begin in July so this

1:19:48 ↗ is a great opportunity for us to engage

1:19:50 ↗ the community in the event and then I'm

1:19:52 ↗ also extremely pleased to announce that

1:19:54 ↗ we were recently awarded in tourism

1:19:55 ↗ grant on behalf of the city of mystic

1:19:57 ↗ hua from the Port of Seattle for

1:19:59 ↗ advertising at the CTA airport so we

1:20:02 ↗ have a quarterly program that rotates

1:20:04 ↗ advertising messages and you can see our

1:20:06 ↗ backlit display at concourse dd2 next to

1:20:11 ↗ Alaska Airlines lounge with the millions

1:20:14 ↗ of other travelers this holiday season

1:20:15 ↗ if you travel through there our

1:20:18 ↗ partnership with the port also affords

1:20:20 ↗ us participation in their tourism

1:20:22 ↗ promotion programs and not only do we

1:20:24 ↗ have those grant opportunities but we

1:20:26 ↗ can participate in their trade shows and

1:20:27 ↗ also travel writer tours one of which we

1:20:30 ↗ took part in last month the Seattle

1:20:36 ↗ regional cities with event venue

1:20:43 ↗ those that as a quat recently received

1:20:45 ↗ as a prospective host city our due

1:20:48 ↗ diligence is to visit with event

1:20:50 ↗ organizers and coordinators from the

1:20:51 ↗ western region and also vet the event

1:20:54 ↗ with several current host cities and we

1:20:56 ↗ did that with Santa Rosa Cora Lane and

1:20:58 ↗ Indian Wells California this event bid

1:21:01 ↗ is pending the formation of a local

1:21:03 ↗ organizing committee a sponsorship and

1:21:05 ↗ significant fundraising the next three

1:21:09 ↗ slides we have tourism trade events that

1:21:11 ↗ are taking place in the fall in the

1:21:12 ↗ winter some of the most prestigious

1:21:14 ↗ meeting events the tour operator

1:21:15 ↗ appointment base shows including

1:21:16 ↗ Northwest event show at the Convention

1:21:18 ↗ Center next week we are partnering with

1:21:20 ↗ our local hotel community and also the

1:21:22 ↗ Pickering Barton and the national tour

1:21:26 ↗ year for 2019 and then we expect to

1:21:29 ↗ launch our website our digital platforms

1:21:31 ↗ and some limited print platforms in 2020

1:21:35 ↗ we also as you have received have some

1:21:39 ↗ key findings from some external and

1:21:41 ↗ internal surveys that we conducted this

1:21:43 ↗ summer while we were doing the other

1:21:44 ↗ activities and the first external

1:21:47 ↗ audience survey was conducted in July

1:21:51 ↗ and then we also conducted an internal

1:21:53 ↗ community engagement survey the external

1:21:56 ↗ survey was designed to gauge its across

1:21:57 ↗ destination awareness among participants

1:21:59 ↗ of the survey as well as indicate how

1:22:01 ↗ many of them had traveled to Issaquah so

1:22:04 ↗ nearly 500 statewide participants 100%

1:22:07 ↗ name awareness of Issaquah they all knew

1:22:09 ↗ it for those who had stopped several

1:22:12 ↗ times

1:22:13 ↗ many of them had traveled here and spent

1:22:14 ↗ time here several times a year up to six

1:22:16 ↗ times a year they're very well

1:22:20 ↗ acquainted with shopping dining and

1:22:22 ↗ visiting with their friends and family

1:22:24 ↗ at Gillman village with downtown and

1:22:26 ↗ very familiar with our outdoor scenery

1:22:28 ↗ and those were notable characteristics

1:22:30 ↗ as well as events and festivals with

1:22:31 ↗ over eighty percent of these trips being

1:22:33 ↗ day trips for those people who haven't

1:22:35 ↗ stopped but knew Issaquah they showed an

1:22:38 ↗ increase in willingness to research our

1:22:39 ↗ book a trip and when presented with its

1:22:42 ↗ supposed destination assets showed an

1:22:44 ↗ increase in interest the lack of

1:22:46 ↗ awareness of things to do however

1:22:48 ↗ ranked it's just one of a few barriers

1:22:50 ↗ to visitation however we see that as an

1:22:52 ↗ opportunity to curate the narrative of

1:22:54 ↗ Issaquah and partner with our local

1:22:56 ↗ hospitality community and strengthen our

1:22:58 ↗ brand for a multi-day experience the

1:23:01 ↗ internal community engagement

1:23:03 ↗ questionnaire was distributed

1:23:04 ↗ electronically through the city's

1:23:05 ↗ newsletter also with a Chamber of

1:23:08 ↗ Commerce newsletter the downtown

1:23:09 ↗ newsletter and the Highlands Council

1:23:11 ↗ newsletter it's not surprising that our

1:23:13 ↗ outdoor assets our downtown appeal and

1:23:16 ↗ the preservation aspect resonate very

1:23:18 ↗ strongly with our community and we keep

1:23:20 ↗ that in the fabric of our message the

1:23:23 ↗ summary of the key findings are located

1:23:25 ↗ in the council's book that we

1:23:26 ↗ distributed this evening and the entire

1:23:28 ↗ survey results were submitted to LTAC

1:23:30 ↗ with our application finally you have

1:23:33 ↗ had a chance to see our logo at the

1:23:35 ↗ introduction of the slide and the

1:23:37 ↗ presentation we also have additional

1:23:39 ↗ creative that was created including our

1:23:42 ↗ tagline which is think outside the city

1:23:44 ↗ visit Issaquah we're really proud of the

1:23:47 ↗ work that has gone into this logo into

1:23:50 ↗ the creative and I think that it

1:23:52 ↗ reflects our our image and also our

1:23:56 ↗ designation as a trailhead City and it

1:23:59 ↗ has an art forward Flair and while it's

1:24:01 ↗ really challenging to try and create and

1:24:03 ↗ capture all the amazing assets that it's

1:24:05 ↗ akua's it's one image that we feel is

1:24:08 ↗ very appropriate for our city and where

1:24:10 ↗ we are as an organization at this time

1:24:12 ↗ so thank you very much for your time

1:24:14 ↗ this evening and we look forward to

1:24:16 ↗ updating you in the future

1:24:17 ↗ thank you thank you Beth apologies for

1:24:20 ↗ mispronouncing your last name and if you

1:24:22 ↗ want to stay up there for a second I

1:24:23 ↗ want to see if council has any questions

1:24:25 ↗ any questions this evening looks not

1:24:31 ↗ like not thank you Tim thank you Beth

1:24:35 ↗ we'll be moving on to the consent

1:24:37 ↗ calendar which was distributed to

1:24:39 ↗ council in advance and if authorized the

1:24:41 ↗ items on the consent calendar will be

1:24:43 ↗ considered together and approved by one

1:24:44 ↗ motion have the pair of payables and

1:24:47 ↗ payroll been reviewed hopefully have

1:24:49 ↗ thank you there's any council member

1:24:51 ↗ desire to remove any item from the

1:24:53 ↗ consent calendar and consider it under

1:24:54 ↗ regular business is there a motion

1:24:59 ↗ Madame mayor I would move to adopt the

1:25:01 ↗ consent calendar as presented second

1:25:04 ↗ it's been moved and seconded all those

1:25:06 ↗ in favor say aye

1:25:07 ↗ aye opposed it carries unanimously

1:25:11 ↗ oh I guess I probably should have noted

1:25:14 ↗ that council president Mertz had excused

1:25:16 ↗ absence this evening so we have six

1:25:18 ↗ council members here unanimous is six

1:25:20 ↗ votes in favor next item on the agenda

1:25:23 ↗ this evening is public hearing a be

1:25:25 ↗ 77057 the 2020 levy and revenue sources

1:25:29 ↗ we will be conducting a public hearing

1:25:32 ↗ and maybe approving and are adopting the

1:25:36 ↗ ordinance and so I'd like to invite

1:25:37 ↗ finance director Beth Goldberg to make a

1:25:39 ↗ presentation okay that was magic anyway

1:25:54 ↗ good evening I am Beth Goldberg the

1:25:58 ↗ finance director and once again I am

1:26:01 ↗ here to talk about budgets and revenues

1:26:04 ↗ and all the fun things we do this time

1:26:07 ↗ of year and tonight's topic and proposed

1:26:12 ↗ hearing is of property tax levy and

1:26:17 ↗ other revenues RCW 8455 requires

1:26:21 ↗ jurisdictions loving property tax to

1:26:23 ↗ hold a public hearing on revenue sources

1:26:25 ↗ prior to adopting the property tax levy

1:26:28 ↗ for the following year and we opened the

1:26:33 ↗ public hearing on October 21st and

1:26:37 ↗ council decided at that meaning to keep

1:26:40 ↗ the public hearing open this evening

1:26:41 ↗ which is how we got here tonight the

1:26:45 ↗ city's typical practice is to adopt the

1:26:49 ↗ property tax levy at the meeting prior

1:26:51 ↗ the regular meeting prior to the regular

1:26:55 ↗ meeting where the overall budget is

1:26:57 ↗ adopted so that's that's the sequencing

1:27:01 ↗ and why this is is up tonight for

1:27:03 ↗ council consideration and potential

1:27:05 ↗ adoption tonight in addition we are

1:27:08 ↗ proposing other revenues to

1:27:11 ↗ it's the budget you all have been

1:27:13 ↗ talking about them extensively and we'll

1:27:16 ↗ continue to discuss them we are

1:27:17 ↗ introducing tonight those pieces of

1:27:20 ↗ legislation that would be the vehicle to

1:27:22 ↗ enact those changes

1:27:24 ↗ recognizing that council will continue

1:27:27 ↗ to deliberate on these revenues and then

1:27:30 ↗ again marching towards November 18th

1:27:33 ↗ where council will adopt and make any

1:27:37 ↗ modifications it sees fit

1:27:40 ↗ so next I want to just provide a brief

1:27:43 ↗ overview and you've seen this slide

1:27:45 ↗ before property tax and this is based on

1:27:48 ↗ the proposed budget you will recall

1:27:50 ↗ there have been some tweaks to these

1:27:51 ↗ numbers since council began the process

1:27:55 ↗ at the end of September but generally

1:27:57 ↗ speaking property tax revenues represent

1:27:59 ↗ about 19% of general fund revenues at

1:28:03 ↗ about nine point four it'll be nine

1:28:07 ↗ point five that I'll talk about in a

1:28:09 ↗ moment but nine point four nine point

1:28:11 ↗ five million a year the 2020 proposed

1:28:15 ↗ budget recommends levying one percent

1:28:19 ↗ increase in property taxes allowed under

1:28:21 ↗ state law plus new construction and

1:28:24 ↗ capturing banked capacity when I was

1:28:28 ↗ here on October 21st I had mentioned

1:28:32 ↗ that we received updated information

1:28:34 ↗ from the King County Assessor's Office I

1:28:36 ↗ also highlighted some technical changes

1:28:40 ↗ in how the numbers were calculated so

1:28:42 ↗ when all of this plays out based on the

1:28:44 ↗ most recent information from the King

1:28:46 ↗ County Assessor's Office the levy that

1:28:48 ↗ we are proposing to the council would

1:28:51 ↗ generate just under nine point six

1:28:53 ↗ million dollars including one hundred

1:28:57 ↗ and sixty nine thousand for new

1:28:58 ↗ construction and one hundred and sixty

1:29:01 ↗ eight thousand for banked capacity and I

1:29:06 ↗ will say at the last meeting I had

1:29:07 ↗ mentioned 138 thousand for Bank capacity

1:29:10 ↗ that was based on the original number

1:29:11 ↗ the revised number is a hundred and

1:29:13 ↗ sixty seven thousand so in terms of the

1:29:18 ↗ impact on the average property tax bill

1:29:20 ↗ in the city of Issaquah capturing banked

1:29:23 ↗ capacity would add rough

1:29:24 ↗ like $12 to the average annual it's a

1:29:27 ↗ property tax bill and because of the way

1:29:31 ↗ property tax works in the state of

1:29:32 ↗ Washington just a reminder that while we

1:29:35 ↗ are we are generating increased revenue

1:29:39 ↗ from the property tax levy the rate the

1:29:43 ↗ property tax rate is actually declining

1:29:45 ↗ and that is is primarily related to the

1:29:49 ↗ increase in assessed value in the city

1:29:51 ↗ of Issaquah and then just as I mentioned

1:29:56 ↗ at the outset we are proposing tonight

1:29:58 ↗ some other revenue mechanisms to help

1:30:01 ↗ balance the budget utility tax and parks

1:30:05 ↗ fees that we have talked about

1:30:07 ↗ extensively we're introducing that

1:30:10 ↗ legislation tonight it will be referred

1:30:13 ↗ to the November 18th meaning for council

1:30:16 ↗ consideration and as the council

1:30:18 ↗ continues its deliberations on Wednesday

1:30:21 ↗ night I'm sure we'll get some more

1:30:24 ↗ direction from all of you about where

1:30:26 ↗ you want to head with that and with that

1:30:30 ↗ that concludes my remarks for this

1:30:34 ↗ evening thank you are there any council

1:30:36 ↗ questions before we open the public

1:30:37 ↗ hearing

1:30:37 ↗ I count some ivory no I want to just get

1:30:42 ↗ this straight so if we don't adopt the

1:30:46 ↗ new property tax structure tonight and

1:30:49 ↗ we keep the public hearing open and

1:30:51 ↗ defer this until our next regularly

1:30:54 ↗ scheduled meeting you can what is

1:30:58 ↗ typically been the practice for the city

1:31:00 ↗ of its across many other cities is to

1:31:01 ↗ adopt at one meaning in advance but we

1:31:05 ↗ don't have to we don't have to as so

1:31:07 ↗ long as the property tax levy rate is

1:31:10 ↗ adopted by I believe it's December 2nd

1:31:13 ↗ certainly the end of November is when we

1:31:15 ↗ have to notify the county of what our

1:31:17 ↗ levy rate is so November 18th would be

1:31:21 ↗ in plenty of time to do that but if the

1:31:25 ↗ council didn't want to adopt on the 18th

1:31:27 ↗ you would have a finance director

1:31:29 ↗ starting to get very nervous over here

1:31:31 ↗ so we don't have to adopt tonight no

1:31:32 ↗ thank you

1:31:34 ↗ any other questions

1:31:37 ↗ okay so if there are no questions the

1:31:40 ↗ guidelines for citizens comments also

1:31:42 ↗ apply here the same ones that under the

1:31:45 ↗ public carrying the same one as an under

1:31:47 ↗ audience comments and as a reminder if

1:31:49 ↗ you are here speaking on behalf of a

1:31:51 ↗ group please identify yourself as the

1:31:53 ↗ spokesperson for the group and if you

1:31:55 ↗ are here listening this evening and want

1:31:56 ↗ to indicate your support please raise

1:31:58 ↗ your hand when someone is speaking to

1:32:00 ↗ support a comment that they're saying

1:32:02 ↗ I'll check with tisha to see if anyone

1:32:04 ↗ has signed up to speak this evening no

1:32:06 ↗ okay

1:32:08 ↗ and I'll now open the public hearing at

1:32:11 ↗ 8:30 9 8 34 is there anyone here this

1:32:18 ↗ evening that would like to speak and

1:32:20 ↗ address the council during this public

1:32:21 ↗ hearing that can call a third call if

1:32:26 ↗ anyone would like to speak during the

1:32:27 ↗ public hearing

1:32:28 ↗ no hands going up and close the public

1:32:32 ↗ hearing at 8:35 yes okay not closing the

1:32:39 ↗ hearing at 8:35 I think just based on

1:32:43 ↗ councilmember Ray's question and also

1:32:45 ↗ the the options that are in the package

1:32:47 ↗ before we close the public hearing dis

1:32:49 ↗ council want to have a discussion about

1:32:50 ↗ their desires on how to proceed tonight

1:32:52 ↗ or at the next meeting

1:32:58 ↗ that's member a I think we still have

1:33:01 ↗ some work to do in terms of the whole

1:33:02 ↗ package of revenue for 2020 and this is

1:33:05 ↗ a large part of it at the last session I

1:33:09 ↗ don't did not perceive that we were all

1:33:11 ↗ in agreement on how best to proceed with

1:33:14 ↗ the mix of different revenue sources and

1:33:16 ↗ so my unless this creates major problems

1:33:22 ↗ for us my inclination is to defer this

1:33:25 ↗ decision until we have finished our

1:33:27 ↗ budget deliberations or at least related

1:33:30 ↗ to revenue that we have scheduled for

1:33:32 ↗ this coming Wednesday any other thoughts

1:33:34 ↗ or comments councilmember interesting I

1:33:39 ↗ appreciate that very much I was not

1:33:41 ↗ expecting that certainly who has already

1:33:44 ↗ mentioned our practice of

1:33:48 ↗ proving it prior to the final budget

1:33:51 ↗ adoption so I I do like the idea and I

1:33:56 ↗ hope all my colleagues remain open to

1:33:58 ↗ really a comprehensive look at the

1:34:00 ↗ budget it's not individual lines of

1:34:02 ↗ revenue it's not just individual

1:34:04 ↗ expenditure increases or decreases it is

1:34:07 ↗ a package and I too believe that there

1:34:11 ↗ is some sense that the council wants to

1:34:14 ↗ consider the entire package and so by

1:34:19 ↗ casting our votes on the property tax

1:34:22 ↗ this evening we would be getting ahead

1:34:24 ↗ of that and I have a lot of confidence

1:34:27 ↗ that this is really about seeing things

1:34:30 ↗ in total as a package as opposed to just

1:34:32 ↗ delaying or anything like that so I do

1:34:34 ↗ appreciate that are there any other

1:34:37 ↗ council members who would like to

1:34:38 ↗ comment I know I have a question for the

1:34:44 ↗ clerk under the alternatives in the

1:34:47 ↗ package do they need a motion to

1:34:49 ↗ continue okay so you have options in

1:34:52 ↗ your agenda bill and is anyone prepared

1:34:56 ↗ to make a motion that's very interesting

1:35:04 ↗ I think I want to make a motion to

1:35:10 ↗ continue the public hearing until

1:35:12 ↗ November 18th second okay it's been

1:35:17 ↗ moved and seconded is there any

1:35:18 ↗ discussion that's very interesting any

1:35:24 ↗ members of the public here or watching

1:35:27 ↗ live or maybe watching a recording

1:35:29 ↗ please take this opportunity to come and

1:35:34 ↗ speak to us I know this matter this

1:35:37 ↗ issue is of importance really to

1:35:39 ↗ everybody and I also know it's very it's

1:35:41 ↗ complex there's many different layers

1:35:43 ↗ there's many moving parts to consider

1:35:45 ↗ but but please take this opportunity I

1:35:50 ↗ know people have busy lives and we

1:35:53 ↗ certainly had a lot of people here this

1:35:55 ↗ evening to speak earlier about matters

1:35:57 ↗ that are very important to them and

1:35:58 ↗ there

1:35:58 ↗ and their families and that's really

1:36:01 ↗ heartwarming to see even though some of

1:36:04 ↗ the issues are difficult and I'm hoping

1:36:06 ↗ that people can find some of that same

1:36:08 ↗ care and concern to come to invest into

1:36:11 ↗ learning more about the budget and

1:36:14 ↗ especially the revenue sides and the and

1:36:16 ↗ the issues that we're trying to tackle

1:36:17 ↗ on your behalf and come speak to us in

1:36:22 ↗ this public forum your comments would be

1:36:24 ↗ very welcome thank you I just want to

1:36:28 ↗ remind council members as well to make

1:36:30 ↗ sure you're addressing your comments to

1:36:31 ↗ your fellow council members but thank

1:36:33 ↗ you for encouraging the public to come I

1:36:35 ↗ think that's excellent

1:36:36 ↗ councilmember Walsh and then that being

1:36:38 ↗ council president at ease so I'm

1:36:39 ↗ comfortable with the idea of pushing

1:36:42 ↗ this off to November 18th I think we

1:36:45 ↗ really we've had a good start to our

1:36:48 ↗ conversation but there is still much to

1:36:51 ↗ go and I think that this is a great way

1:36:54 ↗ for us to be responsive and to listen

1:36:57 ↗ and along with those ideas anyone in the

1:37:00 ↗ public were to want to email us instead

1:37:04 ↗ they can email City Council at ESSEC

1:37:06 ↗ wha-wha gov and we would love to hear

1:37:09 ↗ from them as well thank you deputy house

1:37:11 ↗ president piece so I I really did want

1:37:14 ↗ to hear from fellow council members and

1:37:17 ↗ regard to how they were feeling about

1:37:19 ↗ this particular issue and I feel

1:37:22 ↗ comfortable if we would like to take the

1:37:24 ↗ time and that's what I think I'm hearing

1:37:26 ↗ as well too to look at everything the

1:37:31 ↗ whole package when we go into

1:37:33 ↗ deliberations and it does give

1:37:35 ↗ additional time for emails or comments

1:37:39 ↗ from the public

1:37:40 ↗ thank you any other comments so the

1:37:44 ↗ motion is to continue the public hearing

1:37:47 ↗ to the November 18 2019 council meeting

1:37:52 ↗ all those in favor say aye

1:37:53 ↗ as opposed thank you that carries

1:37:56 ↗ unanimously

1:37:58 ↗ next item on the agenda is under regular

1:38:01 ↗ business EB seven eight five two IT s

1:38:04 ↗ traffic camera upgrade this is about bid

1:38:07 ↗ award and authorization for funding at

1:38:10 ↗ the October 21st council meeting

1:38:12 ↗ council made a motion to award the bid

1:38:13 ↗ and authorized the funding and requested

1:38:16 ↗ additional information on the funding

1:38:17 ↗ sources and cameras and the decision the

1:38:20 ↗ vote the the motion was postponed until

1:38:23 ↗ tonight's meeting I'd like to ask

1:38:25 ↗ Bennett ospa Public Works Operations

1:38:29 ↗ Manager to the lectern and recognize

1:38:31 ↗ that he has not got a lot of speaking

1:38:35 ↗ strength this evening

1:38:37 ↗ voice is a little gone Bennett thank you

1:38:42 ↗ for having me before we start I'm gonna

1:38:47 ↗ use this and I'm gonna walk you guys

1:38:51 ↗ through getting to the traffic cameras

1:38:53 ↗ on the city website so this is a request

1:38:58 ↗ to show how you get there so go the city

1:39:01 ↗ website Issaquah walk of you can scroll

1:39:06 ↗ down there's a traffic camera link here

1:39:09 ↗ Oh traffic cameras go to desktop and

1:39:23 ↗ here you'll see all the traffic cameras

1:39:25 ↗ available for viewing click on the

1:39:28 ↗ cameras and this sidebar shows the the

1:39:36 ↗ lot of snapshots so with that in mind

1:39:45 ↗ during the October 21st council meeting

1:39:48 ↗ there are some questions and we were

1:39:52 ↗ asked to return with the following

1:39:54 ↗ information so one of the question was

1:39:57 ↗ investigate other funding sources to

1:39:59 ↗ make up the additional 125 thousand six

1:40:03 ↗ hundred and thirteen dollars currently

1:40:04 ↗ proposed to come from the remaining 2019

1:40:09 ↗ pavement management program budget staff

1:40:13 ↗ has looked into this and the cameras are

1:40:16 ↗ not eligible force water or stormwater

1:40:19 ↗ funds as their primary uses to monitor

1:40:21 ↗ traffic

1:40:22 ↗ the administration is not recommending

1:40:24 ↗ allocating additional general fund

1:40:26 ↗ dollars to this project due to the 2019

1:40:29 ↗ general fund revenue shortfalls

1:40:33 ↗ basically the administration continues

1:40:35 ↗ to recommend the funding the funding

1:40:40 ↗ proposed funding options as we

1:40:43 ↗ originally did utilizing the IDS traffic

1:40:46 ↗ signal system fund and remaining 2019

1:40:49 ↗ payment management program balance to be

1:40:51 ↗ used for this project the next question

1:40:56 ↗ was to investigate whether the new

1:40:58 ↗ cameras will serve additional systems in

1:41:00 ↗ future years such as adaptive control

1:41:02 ↗ for signal timing currently the city

1:41:07 ↗ uses traffic signal control devices at

1:41:10 ↗ all the signalized intersections this is

1:41:13 ↗ a called an intelligent traffic system i

1:41:15 ↗ TS this gathers data from signals and

1:41:20 ↗ uses the data to make additional timing

1:41:22 ↗ revisions based on traffic patterns the

1:41:25 ↗ city's traffic engineer augments this I

1:41:28 ↗ TS system by using the traffic cameras

1:41:30 ↗ to monitor the intersections in

1:41:32 ↗ real-time and in certain situation makes

1:41:36 ↗ manual changes to the signal timing to

1:41:39 ↗ improve the flow of traffic

1:41:42 ↗ this is distinctly different from an

1:41:46 ↗ adaptive signal control system an

1:41:50 ↗ adaptive control system gathers

1:41:52 ↗ information from vehicle detection using

1:41:54 ↗ radar detection cameras or loops or in

1:42:00 ↗ pavement loop detectors the system then

1:42:03 ↗ uses all this information evaluates the

1:42:07 ↗ overall system performance and modifies

1:42:09 ↗ the signal timings as appropriate

1:42:12 ↗ adapting a different traffic flows these

1:42:15 ↗ systems include a significant amount of

1:42:18 ↗ additional and new detection equipment

1:42:20 ↗ software and other signal components

1:42:22 ↗ working together in a synchronized

1:42:24 ↗ manner the update implementation of the

1:42:29 ↗ a the automated system

1:42:32 ↗ our adaptive system on the fifty

1:42:34 ↗ signalized intersections in the city

1:42:35 ↗ would be a significant investment the

1:42:39 ↗ city of Bellevue recently implemented an

1:42:41 ↗ adaptive control system Bellevue

1:42:43 ↗ installed the system at over two hundred

1:42:45 ↗ intersections the project cost over five

1:42:48 ↗ five point five million and was

1:42:50 ↗ completed over five and six to six years

1:42:52 ↗ these costs are not able to be scaled to

1:42:55 ↗ Issaquah x' current system and we need

1:43:00 ↗ to do a lot more study in depth on how

1:43:03 ↗ we'd be able to implement that in the

1:43:05 ↗ city system but the cost of this system

1:43:09 ↗ are significantly greater than the

1:43:13 ↗ cameras that were talking about today

1:43:17 ↗ the other question that was asked was to

1:43:21 ↗ determine if the new cameras are capable

1:43:23 ↗ of integrating with additional software

1:43:24 ↗ or systems maximize their use

1:43:29 ↗ essentially these cameras are changing

1:43:34 ↗ from analog to IP based cameras with all

1:43:38 ↗ the current digital traffic camera

1:43:40 ↗ technology these are the newest coolest

1:43:44 ↗ cameras you can get the pan tilt zoom

1:43:48 ↗ cameras are using the city's IPS system

1:43:50 ↗ pivot 360 degrees and have zoom

1:43:52 ↗ capability which will give a live feed

1:43:56 ↗ as we do now for the traffic engineers

1:44:00 ↗ and the signal technicians to view the

1:44:04 ↗ traffic flow and optimize signal

1:44:06 ↗ operation the new cameras provide

1:44:09 ↗ enhanced network security and also

1:44:11 ↗ provide the clearest picture since the

1:44:16 ↗ October 21st council meeting staff

1:44:18 ↗ became aware that the balance of the IDS

1:44:21 ↗ traffic signal system fund is slightly

1:44:23 ↗ lower due to the transfer out of

1:44:26 ↗ required art fund contribution for this

1:44:28 ↗ project this has been corrected in the

1:44:30 ↗ financial information section a proposed

1:44:35 ↗ amendment has been provided in the

1:44:36 ↗ motion section of the agenda bill the

1:44:41 ↗ administration administration continues

1:44:43 ↗ to

1:44:43 ↗ recommend award of the bid to replace

1:44:47 ↗ the near obsolete traffic cameras with

1:44:49 ↗ 35 cameras and corresponding components

1:44:52 ↗ as explained in the summary statement

1:44:54 ↗ multiple City departments use these

1:44:56 ↗ cameras to rely on these cameras for

1:45:00 ↗ monitoring traffic pavement conditions

1:45:02 ↗ and police related incidents and

1:45:04 ↗ ensuring proper maintenance of the

1:45:05 ↗ signals the cameras are also highly

1:45:09 ↗ visited on the city website so and I was

1:45:18 ↗ gonna say I don't think you're allowed

1:45:19 ↗ to ask questions because I don't think

1:45:21 ↗ is any voice must answer but you can

1:45:23 ↗ test me sounds worse than it feels a

1:45:24 ↗ problem there and read for its

1:45:33 ↗ performance Thank You Bennet but you do

1:45:35 ↗ have to say up there

1:45:36 ↗ questions councilmember hunt followed by

1:45:40 ↗ deputy counts present parties in the

1:45:41 ↗ memo there's a statement about the

1:45:44 ↗ updated traffic cameras are not related

1:45:46 ↗ to installation of an adaptive signal

1:45:47 ↗ control system but may support the

1:45:49 ↗ implementation and monitoring of an

1:45:52 ↗ adaptive signal control system and you

1:45:54 ↗ did mention that in your remarks correct

1:45:57 ↗ so I'm trying to understand the meaning

1:46:01 ↗ of that sentence do I understand that we

1:46:05 ↗ would need more equipment but the

1:46:06 ↗ cameras themselves would still be able

1:46:08 ↗ to be used yes so to be able to

1:46:14 ↗ implement the adaptive control program

1:46:17 ↗ or your system you need to have eyes on

1:46:19 ↗ each intersection as it's being

1:46:20 ↗ implemented right now with traffic

1:46:23 ↗ cameras you can do that one person can

1:46:26 ↗ do that with multiple cameras multiple

1:46:28 ↗ intersections they be able to monitor

1:46:29 ↗ that whole thing they're not necessarily

1:46:33 ↗ they are not part of the adaptive

1:46:35 ↗ detection system itself you would need

1:46:40 ↗ them in order otherwise you have ten you

1:46:42 ↗ have ten intersections you have ten

1:46:44 ↗ people at ten intersections you know on

1:46:46 ↗ a radio calling in how it's all how it's

1:46:49 ↗ all operating so there are two different

1:46:52 ↗ things but they're going to work

1:46:53 ↗ together under an intelligent traffic

1:46:56 ↗ system so I think my my question is

1:47:04 ↗ really a follow on I'm trying to

1:47:06 ↗ actually understand that that same that

1:47:10 ↗ same sentence but it I'm sure I'm trying

1:47:13 ↗ to understand it this way or see if I'm

1:47:16 ↗ on track it's right now we have analog

1:47:19 ↗ and we need to move over to digital so

1:47:22 ↗ from a baseline anything that we don't

1:47:26 ↗ exactly know how that installation would

1:47:30 ↗ mesh with adaptive signal control we

1:47:33 ↗ haven't gotten that far but at a

1:47:36 ↗ baseline we would need as the digital

1:47:39 ↗ yes and resse okay that helped I'll come

1:47:45 ↗ back to you after if that's okay

1:47:47 ↗ councilman beret so just a couple things

1:47:49 ↗ so we pop that up at 8:43 it still shows

1:47:55 ↗ 843 does it refresh itself my

1:47:58 ↗ understanding is it does yes

1:48:00 ↗ you know what the refresh rate is I was

1:48:02 ↗ told it was everything was getting a

1:48:06 ↗ snapshot every two minutes so yeah I

1:48:08 ↗ just some of the use cases that you

1:48:10 ↗ described is how we use it I don't think

1:48:13 ↗ that two-minute refresh rate is going to

1:48:14 ↗ be very helpful so if we go the new

1:48:16 ↗ cameras do you know if that will change

1:48:18 ↗ that refresh rate this is only for the

1:48:20 ↗ public viewing we have live feed of each

1:48:23 ↗ intersection in real-time at all times

1:48:25 ↗ what we do yes but it's not very helpful

1:48:27 ↗ for the public though mmm to be

1:48:31 ↗ determined

1:48:31 ↗ okay very helpful for this part of the

1:48:34 ↗ public okay so and then the traffic

1:48:39 ↗ engine I'm just weren't trying to stand

1:48:40 ↗ this the traffic engineer uses this data

1:48:42 ↗ real time to adjust signal timing

1:48:44 ↗ correct how often does that happen

1:48:48 ↗ we currently do not have a traffic

1:48:51 ↗ engineer you okay come on sure can come

1:48:55 ↗ up though

1:49:03 ↗ courtesy and traffic manager for the

1:49:06 ↗ city so although we don't currently have

1:49:09 ↗ a traffic engineer doing this work

1:49:13 ↗ typically they would the way this works

1:49:17 ↗ when we have this person is we have

1:49:21 ↗ these cameras operating they're

1:49:22 ↗ monitoring all of the intersections that

1:49:25 ↗ we have cameras on and typically they

1:49:29 ↗ would not make a lot of adjustments it's

1:49:32 ↗ a it's a complex system that's all

1:49:34 ↗ interlinked so you typically wouldn't

1:49:36 ↗ make changes but they do make changes

1:49:38 ↗ when there's an accident for example

1:49:39 ↗ when there's some kind of a it doesn't

1:49:42 ↗ happen often there was a political

1:49:44 ↗ demonstration here a few years ago so

1:49:47 ↗ they changed the timing that that

1:49:48 ↗ intersection to accommodate that it's

1:49:50 ↗ more incident related that they would

1:49:52 ↗ make timing adjustments related to the

1:49:56 ↗ information that they saw on the cameras

1:49:58 ↗ great thanks Kurt just a couple couple

1:50:01 ↗ more because I'm really trying to

1:50:02 ↗ understand what the what the future

1:50:06 ↗ looks like more than even what the

1:50:07 ↗ current looks like and then I think you

1:50:10 ↗ talked about this last meeting which was

1:50:11 ↗ taking funding from favored management

1:50:13 ↗ that's because we have some fun balance

1:50:16 ↗ left over there because things don't

1:50:18 ↗ come out nice tidy blocks of dollars is

1:50:21 ↗ that correct okay so we're not we're not

1:50:22 ↗ forgoing any pavement management to fund

1:50:25 ↗ this so yay okay when do we lose support

1:50:28 ↗ for the current system end of 2020 okay

1:50:31 ↗ so we have a little bit of time and how

1:50:34 ↗ long does it take us to deploy the new

1:50:36 ↗ system if we were to like to say okay

1:50:38 ↗ let's go today how long would it take us

1:50:41 ↗ to your system the the one you're

1:50:44 ↗ talking about I have to give you the

1:50:50 ↗ same answers last time it's equipment

1:50:53 ↗ purchase prior to installation so

1:50:55 ↗ depending on how long that equipment

1:50:57 ↗ purchase would take insulation would be

1:51:01 ↗ relatively quickly so I would say if we

1:51:03 ↗ were to approve this I'd be comfortable

1:51:05 ↗ in the first quarter okay

1:51:08 ↗ okay thank you thank you and before I go

1:51:11 ↗ back to councilmember hand I'm gonna

1:51:12 ↗ keep moving around to those I haven't

1:51:14 ↗ asked question said so councilmember

1:51:15 ↗ Goodman you follow up question two

1:51:18 ↗ probably for Kurt so the factor in

1:51:24 ↗ please when talking about changing

1:51:28 ↗ signals changing signal timing the

1:51:31 ↗ signals that are a certain distance from

1:51:34 ↗ I 92 I have control over those so

1:51:39 ↗ typically there is a an area next to

1:51:44 ↗ both the interchanges both to SR 902 and

1:51:51 ↗ to Front Street that are controlled by

1:51:52 ↗ the state so we do work with the state

1:51:56 ↗ on those signal timings to make sure

1:51:58 ↗ that they're coordinated with our system

1:52:00 ↗ but they are in fact in control of those

1:52:02 ↗ timing on those intersections and

1:52:05 ↗ typically those are timed so that they

1:52:09 ↗ move traffic on and off of the on-ramps

1:52:14 ↗ the best way so we're not there's

1:52:18 ↗ separate systems but we do work together

1:52:19 ↗ with them on those okay I asked that

1:52:22 ↗ because one of the I think one of the

1:52:27 ↗ messages that we're hearing is that one

1:52:30 ↗ of the benefits to the community of the

1:52:32 ↗ new cameras would be our ability to do

1:52:36 ↗ some signal timing and my understanding

1:52:41 ↗ having been around when this system was

1:52:44 ↗ installed is that we are somewhat

1:52:46 ↗ limited because you can't we can't just

1:52:49 ↗ spot change signal timing because that

1:52:53 ↗ affects all of the signals and all of

1:52:56 ↗ the traffic upstream downstream and we

1:52:59 ↗ are my words hampered somewhat then by

1:53:02 ↗ the signals that are controlled by not

1:53:05 ↗ by us but by the state and so I just

1:53:07 ↗ want to make sure that the message that

1:53:09 ↗ we get is not being my my term oversold

1:53:14 ↗ because I because we do have some limits

1:53:15 ↗ would that be is that accurate correct

1:53:17 ↗ and and

1:53:18 ↗ to that I would say that it's been said

1:53:21 ↗ a minute ago the traffic just to be

1:53:24 ↗ clear the traffic cameras are used to

1:53:26 ↗ monitor what's going on at these

1:53:27 ↗ intersections the way we time the

1:53:30 ↗ signals when we in the way we time the

1:53:32 ↗ intersections is a is much more complex

1:53:35 ↗ based on the data that we're receiving

1:53:37 ↗ from the loops that are in the ground or

1:53:40 ↗ we also have radar detection so these

1:53:42 ↗ cameras to be clear are not typically

1:53:46 ↗ being used as the primary instrument

1:53:49 ↗ that by which we time the intersections

1:53:52 ↗ they're a way to monitor what's going on

1:53:54 ↗ at the intersection thank you I just

1:53:56 ↗ want to make that clear because we have

1:53:57 ↗ talked a lot about the timing and I just

1:54:00 ↗ want to make sure that that it's clear

1:54:04 ↗ what our limits are and then my next

1:54:05 ↗ question this is Bennett can you I

1:54:08 ↗ didn't quite understand can you explain

1:54:10 ↗ the the change and he said there was a

1:54:14 ↗ change because of some change in the

1:54:17 ↗ amount or so can you explain that again

1:54:19 ↗ please yes not just with the fund where

1:54:23 ↗ it's coming from but the motion there

1:54:27 ↗ was a change to the motion based on some

1:54:29 ↗ new information is that right yeah so

1:54:33 ↗ changed the dollar change the dollar

1:54:37 ↗ amounts that was coming out of it

1:54:40 ↗ because of the art fund contribution so

1:54:43 ↗ there was a move to amend the motion

1:54:48 ↗ strike seventy thousand six hundred

1:54:53 ↗ ninety dollars an insert seventy one

1:54:54 ↗ thousand four hundred and ninety two

1:54:56 ↗ dollars which is the remaining balance

1:54:58 ↗ of the IT signal system phone - the art

1:55:01 ↗ fund contribution okay but no change no

1:55:04 ↗ change in what's being asked to spent

1:55:06 ↗ being spent on that no change in the

1:55:08 ↗ total expenditure for for this project

1:55:11 ↗ okay thanks

1:55:17 ↗ can summer interesting thank you I have

1:55:20 ↗ a question for our city attorney and

1:55:22 ↗ then I have a second question for our

1:55:25 ↗ finance director could you remind us

1:55:29 ↗ again why we had to go out to public bid

1:55:32 ↗ on this there was something about a

1:55:33 ↗ total dollar amount for a public works

1:55:36 ↗ type project that there's a state law

1:55:39 ↗ that prevented us from being able to do

1:55:43 ↗ this in-house and therefore be able to

1:55:45 ↗ buy equipment at maybe thirty five

1:55:47 ↗ percent cheaper than we would out in the

1:55:49 ↗ open market could you just tell us to

1:55:51 ↗ remind me again about that state law

1:55:53 ↗ that that is forcing this pack for us

1:55:58 ↗ yes the state public bidding law

1:56:00 ↗ requires you to go out to bid whenever a

1:56:03 ↗ project exceeds certain limits

1:56:06 ↗ regardless of regardless of whether you

1:56:12 ↗ want to do it with your own forces or

1:56:13 ↗ not you are required to go out to bid

1:56:15 ↗ when it exceeds the bid limits currently

1:56:18 ↗ the bid limits for public works projects

1:56:23 ↗ in this state for cities like ESO quoi

1:56:25 ↗ is when more than one craft or trade is

1:56:30 ↗ involved is one hundred and sixteen

1:56:32 ↗ thousand one hundred and fifty five

1:56:34 ↗ dollars the the bid limit for when only

1:56:39 ↗ one craft or trade is involved is 75

1:56:42 ↗ thousand five hundred dollars and I know

1:56:44 ↗ those seem like odd amounts it used to

1:56:47 ↗ be that the bid limits were sixty five

1:56:50 ↗ and forty five thousand and I think

1:56:53 ↗ they've accelerated those using it

1:56:54 ↗ construction index and that's why they

1:56:57 ↗ come up with the odd numbers of 116 155

1:57:00 ↗ but that's the that's the current bid

1:57:03 ↗ limits if we were a first class city as

1:57:08 ↗ opposed to a code City the bid limit you

1:57:13 ↗ would be allowed to use 10% of your

1:57:16 ↗ overall construction budget for the year

1:57:20 ↗ could be done with city forces but

1:57:22 ↗ that's for first-class cities and

1:57:26 ↗ for optional Municipal Code cities and

1:57:29 ↗ just just so we don't see first-class as

1:57:33 ↗ being a pejorative term the up up until

1:57:38 ↗ the optional Municipal Code was adopted

1:57:41 ↗ in 1965 the all cities in Washington

1:57:46 ↗ were divided into classes and so their

1:57:48 ↗ first second third class cities in towns

1:57:51 ↗ but once you became a code city you you

1:57:56 ↗ are limited by the bid limits in the

1:58:00 ↗ code city statutes okay okay thank you

1:58:03 ↗ that just seems really unfortunate I do

1:58:05 ↗ know I believe our workforce is

1:58:07 ↗ unionized anyway if that is a law to

1:58:09 ↗ protect union work it seems seems

1:58:12 ↗ counterproductive thank you for that

1:58:14 ↗ explaining that publicly again got to

1:58:18 ↗ have a question it's about the money I

1:58:20 ↗ know that the balance required to

1:58:23 ↗ fulfill the bid is being drawn what we

1:58:26 ↗ would call it the balance of the

1:58:28 ↗ pavement management program just just

1:58:30 ↗ and I know that this is actually we're

1:58:32 ↗ all talking about 2019 dollars correct

1:58:35 ↗ and I don't know that there's really a

1:58:37 ↗ separate fund but we know that this what

1:58:40 ↗ the the source of the revenue was the

1:58:42 ↗ refund and so there's some money and

1:58:45 ↗ read that's been earmarked and we have a

1:58:47 ↗ balance left that per here and okay so

1:58:51 ↗ in your you're nodding your head so I've

1:58:54 ↗ got that right and if for instance we we

1:59:00 ↗ said go forward but don't spend any of

1:59:02 ↗ that balance just do it with IDs money

1:59:04 ↗ that would be on spent 2019 budgeted

1:59:10 ↗ read dollars and they would just remain

1:59:12 ↗ in the REIT fund they would either

1:59:16 ↗ return to the reach fund or they would

1:59:19 ↗ remain in the street operating fund and

1:59:22 ↗ the reason why I'm saying both is that

1:59:28 ↗ is part of our

1:59:33 ↗ efforts to become more rigorous with how

1:59:38 ↗ we're managing different parts of money

1:59:40 ↗ where I would like to see us go but we

1:59:43 ↗ have not done this particularly well and

1:59:46 ↗ this is part of the fund reconciliation

1:59:49 ↗ that I keep talking about is if there's

1:59:52 ↗ unspent designated dollars mitigation

1:59:55 ↗ dollars things of that nature either

1:59:58 ↗ when the project is closed or if there's

2:00:00 ↗ unspent money at the end of the year

2:00:02 ↗ that money should return to that

2:00:06 ↗ designated fund the city has not had

2:00:09 ↗ that consistent practice so in this case

2:00:12 ↗ it would likely stay in the street

2:00:14 ↗ operating fund even though their readers

2:00:16 ↗ and you might recall last year the

2:00:20 ↗ street operating budget was running at a

2:00:22 ↗ at a deficit this love about this year

2:00:26 ↗ about this time last year and the fund

2:00:30 ↗ then ended 2018 better than we expected

2:00:34 ↗ the expenditures were less there were

2:00:36 ↗ revenues in there so put the fun back in

2:00:38 ↗ the positive so it's all it's all

2:00:40 ↗ balancing out but over time I would like

2:00:43 ↗ to see that money return to to you know

2:00:47 ↗ the source revenue fund or the source

2:00:49 ↗ fund okay thank you I think I learned

2:00:51 ↗ something in that we do actually move

2:00:56 ↗ transfer the funds from ritu street

2:00:59 ↗ operating funds so it's sitting there

2:01:01 ↗ designated for a given use so it's

2:01:03 ↗ allocated inside that fund for correct

2:01:05 ↗ correct

2:01:07 ↗ okay thank you I'm just gonna see a

2:01:10 ↗ councilmember Walsh has a question if

2:01:12 ↗ not I'm going to go back to

2:01:13 ↗ councilmember hunt thank you the

2:01:15 ↗ question for the administration I wonder

2:01:18 ↗ if it's possible to have a timeline or

2:01:21 ↗ estimate of a timeline when we could

2:01:23 ↗ revisit existing technologies and maybe

2:01:26 ↗ consider other options right now we have

2:01:28 ↗ some information and our packet about

2:01:30 ↗ how much it costs to do a traffic system

2:01:34 ↗ with different technology but that city

2:01:36 ↗ is much larger than our city and I think

2:01:38 ↗ and it even says it's not scalable it's

2:01:41 ↗ not particularly comparable so I wonder

2:01:43 ↗ if we can

2:01:44 ↗ revisit in the context - is that it

2:01:46 ↗ these cameras are 12 years old and on

2:01:49 ↗ Windows 7 operating system so I'm

2:01:50 ↗ wondering if we can revisit this shorter

2:01:53 ↗ time frame cops member hunt members of

2:01:56 ↗ the council I agree we need a better

2:01:59 ↗ plan and I I think the work that both

2:02:03 ↗ public works operation Public Works

2:02:05 ↗ engineering has done over the last

2:02:06 ↗ couple of weeks is I think you really

2:02:08 ↗ challenged us as a staff to kind of come

2:02:11 ↗ to grips with some of us with the

2:02:13 ↗ occasion of this bid I would suspect

2:02:15 ↗ that a part of the 20/20 work plan will

2:02:18 ↗ be a look at how we look at

2:02:20 ↗ transportation and mobility more broadly

2:02:21 ↗ and I would think that that's a piece of

2:02:23 ↗ that one thing that really hasn't come

2:02:25 ↗ up which we talked about in the budget

2:02:27 ↗ deliberations is there's I what I

2:02:28 ↗ believe at key staff member vacancy here

2:02:31 ↗ that we need to bring on to help bring

2:02:33 ↗ all this together as well so I can

2:02:35 ↗ commit that as the council convenes in

2:02:38 ↗ January and looks at its plans for 2020

2:02:40 ↗ this will be on it thank you any more

2:02:44 ↗ questions

2:02:46 ↗ so the interesting thing here is that

2:02:50 ↗ this is a live motion meaning the motion

2:02:53 ↗ was made and seconded on October 21st

2:02:56 ↗ and that original motion was to award

2:02:58 ↗ the construction contract to Titan

2:03:00 ↗ earthwork LLC for the amount of three

2:03:02 ↗ hundred seventy two thousand three

2:03:03 ↗ hundred and eighty five dollars in

2:03:05 ↗ directing the finance director to

2:03:06 ↗ include 70 thousand six hundred ninety

2:03:08 ↗ dollars from the I TS traffic signal

2:03:10 ↗ system fund balance and one hundred

2:03:12 ↗ twenty five thousand six hundred

2:03:13 ↗ thirteen dollars from the remaining

2:03:15 ↗ budget of the 2019 pavement management

2:03:17 ↗ program in a subsequent 2019 budget

2:03:20 ↗ amendment so you have some options now

2:03:23 ↗ you can make a motion to amend this main

2:03:27 ↗ motion you can withdraw the motion or

2:03:30 ↗ you can deliberate and proceed to vote

2:03:32 ↗ and if we are going to go forward with

2:03:36 ↗ the motion or an amendment to the motion

2:03:39 ↗ we'll be looking at some revised numbers

2:03:42 ↗ as Bennett had mentioned in his

2:03:43 ↗ presentation so what is the council's

2:03:45 ↗ pleasure councilmember Goodman thank you

2:03:49 ↗ as I did the last time we had this talk

2:03:51 ↗ but I'm gonna

2:03:53 ↗ I'm gonna go ahead and move to amend the

2:03:58 ↗ motion and the reason I'm doing this is

2:04:00 ↗ so that we can deliberate like I said

2:04:04 ↗ the last time when I made the motion I

2:04:06 ↗ stated my opinion at that time although

2:04:10 ↗ it could be changed and so that gave us

2:04:12 ↗ an opportunity to deliberate so that's

2:04:14 ↗ what I'm gonna do now I'm gonna make I'm

2:04:16 ↗ gonna move to amend the motion to strike

2:04:19 ↗ seventy thousand six hundred and ninety

2:04:21 ↗ dollars and insert seventy one thousand

2:04:23 ↗ four hundred ninety two dollars which is

2:04:25 ↗ the remaining balance of the I TS signal

2:04:27 ↗ system fund minus the art fund

2:04:30 ↗ contribution second okay

2:04:33 ↗ discussion who would like to start well

2:04:43 ↗ I'm just gonna say I'm gonna support it

2:04:44 ↗ because I don't I I think the amending

2:04:47 ↗ it leads us to a substantive discussion

2:04:51 ↗ so I would be supportive of it that's

2:04:56 ↗ membrane I'm gonna support the amendment

2:04:58 ↗ because it it provides the it makes the

2:05:01 ↗ original motion correct and and to have

2:05:04 ↗ a discussion about an incorrect motion

2:05:07 ↗ seems to me to be a fool's errand this

2:05:10 ↗ is all about the amendment no the main

2:05:12 ↗ motion any other conference discussion a

2:05:17 ↗ vote on the do I need to reread the

2:05:18 ↗ amendment is okay I vote on the

2:05:21 ↗ amendment to correct the numbers to

2:05:23 ↗ reflect the contribution to the Arts

2:05:26 ↗ Fund all those in favor say aye

2:05:27 ↗ all right as opposed it carries

2:05:30 ↗ unanimously

2:05:30 ↗ made motion we'd like to start that's

2:05:38 ↗ Mary Walsh councilmember we interesting

2:05:40 ↗ councilmember hunt so I appreciate City

2:05:46 ↗ Administrator Bob quit saying that this

2:05:48 ↗ coming up and our conversation

2:05:50 ↗ challenged the administration to have a

2:05:53 ↗ conversation about how we should be

2:05:55 ↗ approaching any of our intelligent

2:05:57 ↗ traffic systems I think from my

2:05:59 ↗ perspective the main question that we

2:06:03 ↗ had asked on that previous meeting was

2:06:06 ↗ would the new cameras that are proposed

2:06:10 ↗ support any needed adaptive traffic

2:06:14 ↗ signalization and from my perspective I

2:06:18 ↗ think we've gotten that answer which is

2:06:19 ↗ that these cameras would not be involved

2:06:22 ↗ in a new system as far as the running of

2:06:27 ↗ it they might be used to help install it

2:06:30 ↗ or something like that but generally

2:06:32 ↗ these cameras aren't as much for traffic

2:06:37 ↗ administration as Public Safety and

2:06:41 ↗ public information and it sounds like

2:06:44 ↗ these are moving us in the right

2:06:46 ↗ direction now if anyone has any comments

2:06:50 ↗ saying hey we've missed the mark we

2:06:52 ↗ haven't considered X Y & Z I'm open to

2:06:55 ↗ those ideas but generally I think this

2:06:58 ↗ gives us the upgrade that we need while

2:07:02 ↗ still leaving us open to pursuing

2:07:04 ↗ something that is adaptive traffic as

2:07:07 ↗ needed Thank You councilmember winter

2:07:10 ↗ Stein and then hunt you think this would

2:07:19 ↗ be simple but it's actually not very fun

2:07:21 ↗ though Bennett you're doing a great job

2:07:22 ↗ I appreciate it because it's for the

2:07:26 ↗ reasons you heard me say earlier just

2:07:28 ↗ the fact that we were forced to do this

2:07:30 ↗ it's unfortunate we are actually

2:07:32 ↗ considering spending the people's money

2:07:34 ↗ public money in this way I do believe

2:07:38 ↗ it's an asset that is a value both to

2:07:40 ↗ the city as for our own operations for

2:07:43 ↗ all the reasons cited and as and for our

2:07:45 ↗ citizens it and thanks for the demo

2:07:49 ↗ I forgot how easy it was to get there

2:07:50 ↗ but especially during inclement weather

2:07:52 ↗ and especially during the snow season

2:07:54 ↗ and and not only for myself personally

2:07:57 ↗ but also for family members so I that's

2:08:00 ↗ how it's a benefit I believe others use

2:08:03 ↗ that the the angle I was taking earlier

2:08:07 ↗ about the funding again it was all about

2:08:12 ↗ it's all about the 2020 condition and

2:08:16 ↗ boy if we could not spend something that

2:08:18 ↗ we

2:08:19 ↗ we were gonna spend in 2019 that just

2:08:21 ↗ helps us for 2020 I mean that was that

2:08:24 ↗ was the angle it would just leave more

2:08:26 ↗ balance in these accounts in this case

2:08:30 ↗ not read anymore I realize now it would

2:08:31 ↗ be the street operating fund and and in

2:08:36 ↗ consideration of that and also knowing

2:08:39 ↗ that pavement management is about it's

2:08:43 ↗ about the roadways it's about the

2:08:44 ↗ quality it's about maintaining what we

2:08:46 ↗ have this is another ask which is about

2:08:49 ↗ the use of our right away about the

2:08:52 ↗ roadways and maintaining what we have in

2:08:54 ↗ bringing it up to a new and better

2:08:57 ↗ standard all of that is to say that the

2:09:02 ↗ the resistance I had to the proposal is

2:09:07 ↗ dissipating and I'm likely to support it

2:09:10 ↗ Thank You councilmember hunt

2:09:12 ↗ councilmember Goodman and then

2:09:14 ↗ councilmember ray I I think the thing

2:09:19 ↗ that still stands out to me is that

2:09:21 ↗ there's a security gap pointed out here

2:09:25 ↗ so the use of Windows seven also creates

2:09:27 ↗ a security gap once that is no longer

2:09:29 ↗ supported I think that generally

2:09:32 ↗ maintaining our assets is important and

2:09:37 ↗ why I asked the timing question is

2:09:40 ↗ because I think we haven't we haven't

2:09:43 ↗ visited this at at a rate that would be

2:09:47 ↗ most beneficial in terms of

2:09:48 ↗ understanding all of the technologies

2:09:50 ↗ that are out there all of their costs

2:09:52 ↗ all of the benefits what their

2:09:53 ↗ limitations are as councilmember Goodman

2:09:55 ↗ mentions maybe there are some some

2:09:57 ↗ intersections we can do things

2:09:59 ↗ differently or some intersections where

2:10:01 ↗ we can't use certain technologies so I

2:10:03 ↗ don't think we really had that

2:10:04 ↗ information presented and also these

2:10:09 ↗ cameras have been there for 12 years and

2:10:10 ↗ that's probably far too long to go but

2:10:14 ↗ without assessing the new technology so

2:10:16 ↗ I do think we need to maintain our

2:10:20 ↗ infrastructure and our technology and so

2:10:22 ↗ I I still lean in favor of this but I

2:10:26 ↗ also would very much like to have a

2:10:29 ↗ more in-depth look at what else we might

2:10:32 ↗ do because traffic and signal timing is

2:10:35 ↗ something that is a major concern for

2:10:37 ↗ the community and I think it would be

2:10:41 ↗ much appreciated if we could do

2:10:42 ↗ something better and then I also wanted

2:10:45 ↗ to point out that I know the website is

2:10:47 ↗ getting a redesign this is one of the

2:10:49 ↗ most visited pages on the website so we

2:10:52 ↗ need to be very cognizant that people

2:10:55 ↗ are trying to find it so as we do their

2:10:57 ↗ website redesign let's make sure that

2:10:58 ↗ it's still able for people to get there

2:11:00 ↗ quickly Thank You councilmember Goodman

2:11:03 ↗ so I agree with all those comments and I

2:11:09 ↗ like I said last time I can't imagine

2:11:12 ↗ just just deciding to not replace

2:11:17 ↗ cameras that need to be replaced that

2:11:18 ↗ would just be a giant step backwards I'm

2:11:23 ↗ my understanding from the comments and

2:11:27 ↗ maybe I'm wrong so benek if you could

2:11:28 ↗ clear this up my understanding was that

2:11:30 ↗ these cameras potentially could be used

2:11:34 ↗ within it potentially with an adaptive

2:11:36 ↗ system or did I miss that I mean if we

2:11:39 ↗ were to they can be used in the sense

2:11:42 ↗ that you'll be able to view the system

2:11:44 ↗ yeah okay

2:11:49 ↗ not controlling the system exactly okay

2:11:52 ↗ so I think potentially that's good to

2:11:56 ↗ know that if we were to be able to have

2:12:00 ↗ a new system in the near future I think

2:12:04 ↗ that would be fantastic the list of

2:12:07 ↗ things that we need to do to bring us

2:12:10 ↗ closer to 2019 is long I highly doubt

2:12:15 ↗ that we're going to have the money to

2:12:17 ↗ have an adaptive system or something

2:12:19 ↗ like that very very soon which means if

2:12:22 ↗ we don't approve this we are very likely

2:12:24 ↗ going to have cameras that aren't

2:12:25 ↗ supported with software I think that

2:12:27 ↗ would be I think that would not be a

2:12:31 ↗ good move I do think we need to upgrade

2:12:34 ↗ the cameras and I appreciate the

2:12:37 ↗ comments from City Administrator that

2:12:39 ↗ we're going to look at a take a higher

2:12:42 ↗ look at the same time broader and deeper

2:12:45 ↗ and I appreciate that but I'm going to

2:12:48 ↗ support I'm gonna support replacing the

2:12:50 ↗ cameras thank you and councilmember Rey

2:12:53 ↗ so we're good through the end of next

2:12:55 ↗ year on the current technology and so

2:12:59 ↗ after our last conversation I went and

2:13:01 ↗ did a little research on the city of

2:13:03 ↗ Bellevue and the the results were pretty

2:13:06 ↗ staggering in Bellevue and they saw

2:13:08 ↗ intersections with reduced wait times of

2:13:10 ↗ greater than forty percent reduction in

2:13:13 ↗ intersection wait time so there are some

2:13:15 ↗ real advantage to deploying adaptive

2:13:18 ↗ signal technology with without a doubt

2:13:21 ↗ the technology that Bellevue deployed

2:13:24 ↗ was in 2010 your technology it wasn't

2:13:27 ↗ 2020 and just because I'm feeling

2:13:31 ↗ something today the iPhone 4 was big in

2:13:34 ↗ 2010 and the iPad was first introduced

2:13:37 ↗ in 2010 technology has come a long way

2:13:39 ↗ since then so I actually believe that

2:13:42 ↗ there is a technology solution out there

2:13:44 ↗ that is not going to be of the cost

2:13:46 ↗ magnitude of Bellevue's that can help us

2:13:49 ↗ to deploy adaptive signaling much more

2:13:53 ↗ cost-effectively and much quicker than

2:13:55 ↗ we are imagining and since we have time

2:13:58 ↗ to think about this because we don't

2:14:00 ↗ have a security problem until the end of

2:14:02 ↗ next year and we don't have unsupported

2:14:05 ↗ system till the end of next year it's my

2:14:08 ↗ belief that we would be best served to

2:14:11 ↗ say let's figure out where we're going

2:14:13 ↗ with an integrated system that involves

2:14:16 ↗ both our cameras for things such as

2:14:18 ↗ Public Safety but also how that

2:14:20 ↗ integrates in with not only providing

2:14:23 ↗ data for our traffic engineers to do ad

2:14:27 ↗ hoc changes but how that might fit into

2:14:30 ↗ a more comprehensive adaptive I TS

2:14:35 ↗ system we have an opportunity here to

2:14:37 ↗ leapfrog generation of technology to go

2:14:40 ↗ from circa 1999 technology which is what

2:14:42 ↗ we have right now to go into circa 2020

2:14:45 ↗ technology and I think it's worth taking

2:14:48 ↗ a breath taking a step back and saying

2:14:50 ↗ can we and how would we go about taking

2:14:55 ↗ advantage of this opportunity

2:14:56 ↗ we have to replace the cameras to not

2:14:58 ↗ just replace the cameras to replace the

2:15:00 ↗ current functionality but to replace the

2:15:02 ↗ cameras to allow us to take a step

2:15:05 ↗ forward and really address one of the

2:15:06 ↗ biggest problems this town has which is

2:15:08 ↗ traffic which the current system isn't

2:15:11 ↗ going to move the needle on so I would

2:15:15 ↗ like us to take a step back do a little

2:15:17 ↗ more research and come up with a plan

2:15:19 ↗ that that drives us you know broader

2:15:22 ↗ perspective Thank You deputy council

2:15:26 ↗ president batiste

2:15:28 ↗ so I think that to paraphrase

2:15:35 ↗ councilmember winter Stein it this

2:15:37 ↗ should be easier than then it is it I

2:15:41 ↗ think it's unfortunate that we're up

2:15:42 ↗ against the technology deadline that we

2:15:44 ↗ are and having no support after 2020

2:15:48 ↗ with analog count cameras right now is

2:15:52 ↗ something that greatly concerns me and I

2:15:55 ↗ and I do wish we had more time to to

2:15:58 ↗ evaluate but I am concerned that without

2:16:05 ↗ making this move from analog to digital

2:16:08 ↗ at a very important step that we might

2:16:13 ↗ get into next year and then basically

2:16:15 ↗ have you know a system that we've we put

2:16:20 ↗ money into and that we need to support

2:16:24 ↗ and not be able to go forward and do

2:16:26 ↗ that financially and I I think if I'm

2:16:30 ↗ understanding this correctly and I tried

2:16:32 ↗ to ask this question but I don't know if

2:16:34 ↗ I did it in the greatest way is that we

2:16:36 ↗ right now we have analog and and in

2:16:39 ↗ order to move forward it seems to me we

2:16:41 ↗ have to have the move over to the

2:16:44 ↗ digital cameras and we don't have all

2:16:47 ↗ the information about exactly how that's

2:16:49 ↗ going to integrate but we're using them

2:16:51 ↗ for different purposes and so the the

2:16:54 ↗ the actual system that were that the

2:16:59 ↗ additional system that we're talking

2:17:00 ↗ about is is almost to me I hope I'm

2:17:03 ↗ understanding this a little bit separate

2:17:06 ↗ and a separate conversation that we need

2:17:09 ↗ to have and I think a really really

2:17:11 ↗ important one but I don't I'm not

2:17:14 ↗ positive that we mix those two together

2:17:17 ↗ because we still have to do the upgrade

2:17:20 ↗ to the digital cameras so for those

2:17:22 ↗ reasons I would support this this

2:17:25 ↗ evening thank you is there any other

2:17:27 ↗ comments before I call for the vote

2:17:31 ↗ that's my mo Goodman I still have a

2:17:34 ↗ question because after Mariah's comments

2:17:37 ↗ I'm confused

2:17:39 ↗ so can I can someone explain to me so I

2:17:46 ↗ understand analog understand digital or

2:17:53 ↗ at least the concepts and I understand

2:17:57 ↗ the word software so tell me can the

2:18:00 ↗ cameras these cameras that we would be

2:18:03 ↗ buying to upgrade could they be used

2:18:06 ↗ with a different system that we would

2:18:10 ↗ potentially buy in the future that would

2:18:14 ↗ help us more with traffic or is that a

2:18:16 ↗ completely separate system that would

2:18:17 ↗ you have completely separate cameras so

2:18:22 ↗ based on what we know now about adaptive

2:18:27 ↗ and other technologies but I'm trying to

2:18:29 ↗ figure out is if we replace these

2:18:31 ↗ cameras we use them or are we gonna have

2:18:34 ↗ to buy all new cameras for those same

2:18:35 ↗ intersections anyway because it's a

2:18:38 ↗ completely different system or sure so

2:18:42 ↗ let me let me take a stab with that so I

2:18:44 ↗ think an easy way to think about it is

2:18:47 ↗ these cameras that we're proposing to

2:18:50 ↗ for to purchase for the almost $400,000

2:18:56 ↗ is is to view the intersections just

2:19:01 ↗ think of them as cameras so that's one

2:19:06 ↗ piece of that and that's an important

2:19:07 ↗ piece of running this as the city's

2:19:09 ↗ traffic system and it's really important

2:19:12 ↗ that we can see

2:19:14 ↗ for all the reasons elicited in the

2:19:16 ↗ agenda bill both for maintenance both

2:19:19 ↗ for the traffic engineer if the public

2:19:21 ↗ to see what's going on at our

2:19:23 ↗ intersections that's a very important

2:19:25 ↗ that's of that's I believe that's of

2:19:27 ↗ high value to the city so these cameras

2:19:30 ↗ will support that function to be able to

2:19:33 ↗ see what's going on at the intersections

2:19:34 ↗ and well we place all these aging

2:19:37 ↗ cameras that are more or less on their

2:19:39 ↗ last legs

2:19:40 ↗ so and they will serve us well my

2:19:43 ↗ understanding for many years into the

2:19:45 ↗ future

2:19:45 ↗ so that's one piece of it I think that's

2:19:48 ↗ an important reason to support this and

2:19:50 ↗ to move forward with these cameras now

2:19:52 ↗ there's this other piece called adaptive

2:19:55 ↗ signal technology and that's I would

2:19:58 ↗ think of that I think the easiest way to

2:20:00 ↗ think about that is that's separate so

2:20:02 ↗ adaptive signal technology uses

2:20:04 ↗ detectors you're probably most familiar

2:20:06 ↗ with the loops that are cut into the

2:20:09 ↗ circular loops of intersections there's

2:20:11 ↗ also radar detectors are also our camera

2:20:14 ↗ detectors these are not camera detectors

2:20:17 ↗ these are camera viewing cameras so an

2:20:21 ↗ adaptive signal system would likely

2:20:24 ↗ consist of one or more of those

2:20:26 ↗ detectors both the loops and radar

2:20:30 ↗ detectors and possibly camera detectors

2:20:33 ↗ along with a pretty sophisticated

2:20:36 ↗ computer system and what it in in the

2:20:40 ↗ big picture what an adaptive signal

2:20:43 ↗ control system does it takes all this

2:20:45 ↗ data coming in from all these

2:20:47 ↗ intersections all over the city

2:20:48 ↗ it measures what's going on with traffic

2:20:52 ↗ and in real time as as council member

2:20:56 ↗ ray pointed out what Bell V is doing in

2:20:59 ↗ real-time adapts the signals to changing

2:21:03 ↗ traffic situations so a real simple

2:21:06 ↗ example that in Bell V is snowflake lane

2:21:10 ↗ at Christmastime when they let the

2:21:12 ↗ snowflake lane is over everybody wants

2:21:14 ↗ to go home this adaptive signal system

2:21:17 ↗ senses that and changes those signals in

2:21:21 ↗ downtown Bellevue so that people can get

2:21:23 ↗ out of down

2:21:24 ↗ Bellevue quicker than they could if they

2:21:27 ↗ just had standard C which is what we

2:21:32 ↗ have currently so that's the difference

2:21:34 ↗ between the I TS system that we have now

2:21:37 ↗ and adaptive singles signals which is

2:21:40 ↗ what we're talking about the cameras

2:21:43 ↗ again allow us to monitor what's going

2:21:45 ↗ on the cameras are not these cameras

2:21:48 ↗ both now and in the future will not be

2:21:51 ↗ the cameras that are controlling those

2:21:54 ↗ intersections does that help at all

2:21:57 ↗ yes if the okay if we found money and we

2:22:03 ↗ decided to get an adaptive technology

2:22:05 ↗ system let's say we did that in 2020

2:22:09 ↗ would these camera and we bought these

2:22:12 ↗ cameras with these cameras would we no

2:22:14 ↗ longer have a need for these cameras you

2:22:15 ↗ would have a need for these cameras

2:22:16 ↗ because the adaptive signal system is

2:22:20 ↗ controlling the intersections and

2:22:22 ↗ changing the timings of the signals of

2:22:25 ↗ the the signal heads changing the green

2:22:29 ↗ time changing the amount of read time

2:22:31 ↗ that's what the adaptive signal system

2:22:34 ↗ is doing what the cameras are doing is

2:22:37 ↗ monitoring what's going on at the

2:22:40 ↗ signals so that we can see what's going

2:22:42 ↗ on so that then it's crews can see

2:22:44 ↗ what's going on so that you also the

2:22:46 ↗ community can see what's going on at

2:22:48 ↗ those signals there are two different

2:22:50 ↗ functions okay so you're saying that if

2:22:53 ↗ we got a system next year just say for

2:22:57 ↗ the sake of argument there's not gonna

2:22:58 ↗ be any staff member that comes up here

2:23:00 ↗ and tells me that we no longer need the

2:23:04 ↗ eyes on the street cameras we need both

2:23:07 ↗ correct so I just want to be really

2:23:09 ↗ clear these cameras are not going to

2:23:13 ↗ help these cameras will not in and of

2:23:16 ↗ themselves make help make our traffic

2:23:19 ↗ signal system function better all

2:23:22 ↗ they're doing there is Bennett said

2:23:24 ↗ their eyes on the intersection their

2:23:25 ↗ eyes on the street so that we can see

2:23:27 ↗ what's going on

2:23:30 ↗ Candice tankettes member hunt councillor

2:23:32 ↗ Walsh adaptive system doesn't need

2:23:35 ↗ cameras is that a correct statement I'm

2:23:37 ↗ sorry

2:23:38 ↗ the adaptive system does an adaptive

2:23:40 ↗ system doesn't need cameras adaptive

2:23:42 ↗ that corrective system may use cameras

2:23:46 ↗ that are the sensed route that they're

2:23:49 ↗ not these cameras they have cameras that

2:23:50 ↗ actually can count traffic so and the

2:23:54 ↗ use of those that sometimes at

2:23:55 ↗ construction sites when the loops are

2:23:57 ↗ gone we use cameras to to pick up

2:23:59 ↗ traffic so there are cameras that's

2:24:02 ↗ what's confusing there are cameras that

2:24:04 ↗ can sense traffic these are not that an

2:24:08 ↗ adaptive signal system can typically use

2:24:11 ↗ the loops that can also use radar

2:24:13 ↗ detection but it would not need these

2:24:15 ↗ cameras that's correct

2:24:16 ↗ thank you that's member hon councillor

2:24:19 ↗ wash just for our information I was

2:24:22 ↗ looking at Bellevue they have a lot of

2:24:25 ↗ these eyes on the street cameras also

2:24:26 ↗ and if they look the view looks like

2:24:30 ↗ this so I think I think there's a need

2:24:32 ↗ for this sort of eyes on the street

2:24:34 ↗ camera regardless and if we keep using

2:24:38 ↗ the Bellevue example that they have

2:24:40 ↗ those cameras as well although Thank You

2:24:44 ↗ councilmember Walsh are there any

2:24:47 ↗ cameras that would be play both of those

2:24:50 ↗ roles eyes on the street and detector

2:24:53 ↗ cameras that we could consider as an

2:24:56 ↗ investment I my understanding and I am

2:25:00 ↗ NOT we haven't done the all of the

2:25:04 ↗ research that the that are administered

2:25:10 ↗ suggested that we need to do I

2:25:11 ↗ my understanding is no there are there

2:25:14 ↗ two distinctive technology so there are

2:25:16 ↗ detector cameras that measure traffic

2:25:18 ↗ and there are camera cameras to use for

2:25:22 ↗ lack of a better term that take pictures

2:25:26 ↗ of the intersections and the camera

2:25:28 ↗ cameras these cameras are what we're

2:25:31 ↗ talking about here so there there are

2:25:33 ↗ two separate technologies I can say I'm

2:25:38 ↗ free so I want to be really clear I'm

2:25:40 ↗ not in any way suggesting we don't

2:25:42 ↗ replace the cameras I'm just saying that

2:25:45 ↗ there are a lot of questions that we

2:25:46 ↗ don't have answers to right now about

2:25:49 ↗ about this technology and there's also

2:25:51 ↗ and we talked about this last time we're

2:25:53 ↗ here there are big voids throughout the

2:25:56 ↗ city where there are are no cameras and

2:25:58 ↗ so we have grossly over served areas and

2:26:02 ↗ we have grossly underserved areas if we

2:26:03 ↗ if this is a core city service of

2:26:07 ↗ providing access to these cameras and so

2:26:09 ↗ on I just we have time you know

2:26:12 ↗ councilmember W president batiste was

2:26:14 ↗ saying you know I wish we had time you

2:26:16 ↗ know what we have time and that's why I

2:26:17 ↗ kept coming back and asking you how long

2:26:19 ↗ this is going to take to do this so I

2:26:21 ↗ feel like we are facing a lot of

2:26:25 ↗ questions right now that we don't know

2:26:27 ↗ unequivocally the answers to and we have

2:26:30 ↗ time to get the answers before we make

2:26:32 ↗ this decision and so I'm having a hard

2:26:34 ↗ time getting behind rolling forward with

2:26:37 ↗ this award when we have time to get

2:26:41 ↗ answers these questions before we move

2:26:43 ↗ forward with with this investment and

2:26:45 ↗ it's it's not a trivial amount of money

2:26:47 ↗ and it's more money than we anticipated

2:26:48 ↗ so like I said understand the need

2:26:52 ↗ completely supportive of filling the

2:26:54 ↗ need I just want to make sure that

2:26:56 ↗ there's a better way to do this and

2:26:57 ↗ there's we can address a couple things

2:27:00 ↗ one time that we do that and I'm not

2:27:02 ↗ comfortable in saying we know that

2:27:04 ↗ answer right now thank you

2:27:05 ↗ Debu council president batiste cuts

2:27:07 ↗ mayor Walsh

2:27:09 ↗ councilmember Ray just reminded me of

2:27:12 ↗ something that we talked about I think

2:27:15 ↗ last time we were going over this we

2:27:17 ↗ have some new cameras that we were

2:27:22 ↗ looking to install this next year is

2:27:25 ↗ that correct for some of the underserved

2:27:28 ↗ areas we I know came over marts or

2:27:32 ↗ council president marks had asked some

2:27:34 ↗ questions high elevation cameras excuse

2:27:37 ↗ me they're high elevation cameras to

2:27:39 ↗ monitor snow and conditions of the

2:27:42 ↗ roadways and we have could you tell me

2:27:45 ↗ more about we were we purchased cameras

2:27:48 ↗ already for the top of squawk talus

2:27:52 ↗ Montreux and the Highlands and we're

2:27:56 ↗ working on getting those installed

2:28:00 ↗ that is separate from all yeah okay I

2:28:03 ↗ was thinking of okay

2:28:04 ↗ Thank You councilmember Walsh what's the

2:28:09 ↗ cost to the city to rebid something

2:28:12 ↗ because councilmember Ray's point was we

2:28:16 ↗ have time we have the opportunity to

2:28:19 ↗ think through some of these other

2:28:21 ↗ questions but doing so does come at a

2:28:24 ↗ cost to us because we have to advertise

2:28:27 ↗ the bid and put that out and there is a

2:28:32 ↗ distinct cost to that so what what

2:28:35 ↗ approximately is that customer Walsh

2:28:38 ↗ members of the council there's a good

2:28:40 ↗ amount of staff time I mean how much

2:28:42 ↗ time have you spent on this project in

2:28:44 ↗ the last three months a lot and so we

2:28:48 ↗ asked a lot of our senior public work

2:28:51 ↗ staff and so if this has to go back out

2:28:54 ↗ to bid and there are other projects they

2:28:55 ↗ could put aside in order to go through

2:28:57 ↗ that process so I I think it is the

2:28:59 ↗ value of key staff time more than

2:29:03 ↗ anything it's a policy decision if the

2:29:05 ↗ council feels that this deserves another

2:29:08 ↗ look then more time will be spent and

2:29:11 ↗ other projects will be put aside in

2:29:14 ↗ order to spend the time that we have

2:29:15 ↗ already spent is there any actual cost

2:29:19 ↗ like money that we have to output in

2:29:22 ↗ order to advertise a bid or something

2:29:24 ↗ outside of staff time I don't believe so

2:29:27 ↗ I think again it's the mechanisms of

2:29:31 ↗ putting that out reviewing the business

2:29:33 ↗ they come in answering questions

2:29:35 ↗ adjusting the bid specs so really it's

2:29:38 ↗ that lost opportunity for everyone else

2:29:40 ↗ is on the staffs list of unrolling

2:29:43 ↗ perhaps unrelated issues those projects

2:29:46 ↗ that put aside in order to just spend

2:29:48 ↗ that time okay thank you and he had a

2:29:51 ↗ deputy council president piece so I just

2:29:55 ↗ I just wanted to follow up now that now

2:29:57 ↗ that we've had the discussion about

2:29:59 ↗ these really being two separate systems

2:30:03 ↗ we've got the eyes camera cameras and

2:30:08 ↗ then we have this this adaptive or other

2:30:11 ↗ technology so I really

2:30:13 ↗ do believe we we do need to look into

2:30:15 ↗ that as we go forward but I I really

2:30:18 ↗ strongly feel that that it's important

2:30:21 ↗ we are I feel like this is a case of

2:30:24 ↗ just us not keeping up with the really

2:30:27 ↗ the the infrastructure that we have

2:30:29 ↗ where you know we're dealing with analog

2:30:31 ↗ can't cameras no matter what it seems to

2:30:35 ↗ me we're going to need those cameras

2:30:38 ↗ there they're two separate systems and

2:30:41 ↗ for us to be waiting and then maybe go

2:30:45 ↗ through another bid process and an RFP

2:30:48 ↗ process right I want I think I kind of

2:30:50 ↗ feel like we need to break these two

2:30:52 ↗ issues apart that's how I'm I'm feeling

2:30:55 ↗ about it and we really need to upgrade

2:30:58 ↗ the tech but this piece of the

2:31:00 ↗ technology and then move forward and

2:31:02 ↗ find out what we can do for the future

2:31:06 ↗ any other comments otherwise I will

2:31:09 ↗ reread the motion and call for the vote

2:31:12 ↗ okay the motion is all those in favor of

2:31:19 ↗ awarding the construction contract to

2:31:21 ↗ Titan earthwork LLC for the amount of

2:31:23 ↗ three hundred seventy two thousand three

2:31:25 ↗ hundred eighty-five dollars including

2:31:26 ↗ sales tax and directing the finance

2:31:28 ↗ director to include seventy one thousand

2:31:31 ↗ four hundred and ninety two dollars from

2:31:33 ↗ the I TS traffic signal system fund

2:31:35 ↗ balance and a hundred and twenty five

2:31:37 ↗ thousand six hundred thirteen dollars

2:31:39 ↗ from the remaining budget of the 2019

2:31:41 ↗ pavement management program in a

2:31:43 ↗ subsequent 2019 budget amendment

2:31:46 ↗ amendment signify by saying aye aye

2:31:49 ↗ opposed no that's five in favor and

2:31:54 ↗ councilmember Wray opposed thank you

2:31:57 ↗ that was it did appear like that might

2:31:59 ↗ have been a simple item to discuss but

2:32:02 ↗ this is the second time around and we

2:32:03 ↗ still had a lot of questions so thank

2:32:05 ↗ you for that and thank you Bennet thank

2:32:08 ↗ you guys

2:32:09 ↗ a b7 855 Oh is the next item under

2:32:13 ↗ regular business proposed 2020 budget

2:32:17 ↗ revenue sources

2:32:19 ↗ - utility tax and the expectation is

2:32:23 ↗ this may be forwarded to the November

2:32:24 ↗ 18th council meeting this proposal has

2:32:27 ↗ been discussed during the 2020 budget

2:32:29 ↗ process and this is the first time the

2:32:31 ↗ agenda bill is before council and Beth

2:32:33 ↗ Goldberg will be finance director we'll

2:32:36 ↗ be making the presentation and madam

2:32:38 ↗ mayor members of the council before Beth

2:32:39 ↗ speaks she has short presentations on

2:32:42 ↗ each of these items with slides you have

2:32:44 ↗ seen three or four times before so

2:32:47 ↗ perhaps if it's useful we'd be happy to

2:32:50 ↗ answer questions and this is setting

2:32:52 ↗ boats there's no final action being

2:32:54 ↗ requested we're happy to go through the

2:32:56 ↗ presentations but again you have seen

2:34:25 ↗ the Parks and Rec directors coming up we

2:34:28 ↗ are asking the council in this

2:34:29 ↗ particular item to consider one

2:34:31 ↗ additional change in dealing with fees

2:34:33 ↗ for the Pickering barn for the year

2:34:36 ↗ beginning January 1 21 and definitely

2:34:52 ↗ quickly we've spent a lot of our time

2:34:54 ↗ under these items and parkerich

2:34:56 ↗ recreation fees dealing with 2020

2:34:59 ↗ revenue impacts I did want to point out

2:35:02 ↗ in the presentation that you'll notice

2:35:05 ↗ in the ordinance as well some proposed

2:35:08 ↗ 2021 fees as was stated earlier for

2:35:11 ↗ rental facilities this is because of our

2:35:14 ↗ pre-planning those facilities are

2:35:17 ↗ available to be booked a year ahead of

2:35:19 ↗ time so these would be fees we would be

2:35:21 ↗ marketing next year in 2020 we wouldn't

2:35:24 ↗ be actually recognizing that revenue

2:35:26 ↗ until 2021 just wanted to point that out

2:35:30 ↗ and again this would be forwarded for

2:35:33 ↗ November 18th and open for further

2:35:36 ↗ discussion during council work session

2:35:38 ↗ or at that future time I just wanted to

2:35:40 ↗ point that out though thank you that

2:35:45 ↗ becomes precipitous I was going to go

2:35:49 ↗ forward and make a motion that seems

2:35:51 ↗ like that's acceptable to the body go

2:35:53 ↗ ahead I would move to forward a b7 849

2:35:57 ↗ to the November 18th 2019 council

2:36:00 ↗ meeting for deliberation and action

2:36:02 ↗ second it's been moved and seconded is

2:36:05 ↗ there any discussion all those in favor

2:36:08 ↗ signify by saying aye opposed thank you

2:36:12 ↗ that carries unanimously

2:36:13 ↗ next a b7 8700 proposed 2020 budget

2:36:17 ↗ revenue sources - Cemetery fees any new

2:36:21 ↗ information no no new information for

2:36:25 ↗ this evening

2:36:27 ↗ now we see us councilmember hunt I have

2:36:30 ↗ a question and if it's appropriate okay

2:36:33 ↗ so during public comment there was

2:36:35 ↗ mention of master master planning effort

2:36:38 ↗ and so I wondered how the fees would fit

2:36:42 ↗ into or what the what the plans are for

2:36:44 ↗ that yeah thank you for that that's a

2:36:47 ↗ that's a great question and as we

2:36:48 ↗ pointed out in our staff report that you

2:36:50 ↗ received on October 7th the work that

2:36:52 ↗ we've begun this year that coordinated

2:36:55 ↗ work with both the cemetery board flint

2:36:57 ↗ offs in the community these proposed

2:36:59 ↗ fees are not an end to that planning

2:37:01 ↗ effort and as we pointed out in that

2:37:03 ↗ staff report there's further actions

2:37:06 ↗ further next steps we see happening in

2:37:08 ↗ 2021 is continuing on this really good

2:37:12 ↗ cemetery planning work and and fully

2:37:17 ↗ seeing that through and then secondly

2:37:19 ↗ you'll be seeing a management agreement

2:37:22 ↗ that we've been working on with our

2:37:23 ↗ long-standing partner Flint offs that we

2:37:26 ↗ would be bringing before you as well so

2:37:29 ↗ though there is a recommendation and an

2:37:32 ↗ urgency with the opening of section 2

2:37:35 ↗ and upper hillside cemetery for these

2:37:37 ↗ proposed fees these proposed fees do not

2:37:40 ↗ like I said represent an end to that

2:37:42 ↗ planning work we really feel like we're

2:37:44 ↗ on the front end of the work that's

2:37:46 ↗ going on with the cemetery and that

2:37:49 ↗ would it continue to involve community

2:37:51 ↗ engagement but there's wide support by

2:37:54 ↗ both the cemetery board community and

2:37:57 ↗ our partner Flint offs for these

2:37:59 ↗ proposed fees at this time thank you I'm

2:38:03 ↗ assuming the council is fine with not

2:38:05 ↗ going through this presentation but are

2:38:07 ↗ there any other questions that's more

2:38:10 ↗ interesting have we seen this

2:38:12 ↗ presentation before this presentation no

2:38:17 ↗ we have not you've seen the content of

2:38:20 ↗ this presentation in the staff report

2:38:24 ↗ dated October 7th what is the council's

2:38:29 ↗ preference would you like to do a brief

2:38:33 ↗ fast-flying through

2:38:35 ↗ I can't remember had so my preference

2:38:38 ↗ would be to do that and one of the

2:38:41 ↗ reasons is because we also have a policy

2:38:43 ↗ question in the memo

2:38:45 ↗ which is about does the city wish to

2:38:47 ↗ offer a diversity of memorial spaces

2:38:48 ↗ within the existing footprint of upper

2:38:50 ↗ and lower hillside Cemetery I think

2:38:52 ↗ maybe one of our committees did a deep

2:38:55 ↗ dive but I don't think that the full

2:38:56 ↗ council has really considered that kind

2:38:58 ↗ of a policy question so I'm wondering if

2:39:00 ↗ we can just go through this so were

2:39:01 ↗ prepared for that okay this policy

2:39:09 ↗ question that I'm referring to is on

2:39:11 ↗ page age 3 of our a B okay happy to go

2:39:23 ↗ through the report really quickly I

2:39:25 ↗ think I touch on that it counts them

2:39:27 ↗ over hunt and if not I can I can go

2:39:29 ↗ further so like the previous agenda

2:39:33 ↗ bills this is an introduction of this

2:39:35 ↗ ordinance the the timeliness of this and

2:39:39 ↗ the beginning of this work in 2019

2:39:42 ↗ really is is brought on by two key

2:39:44 ↗ points one is the last major area of the

2:39:48 ↗ cemetery and that's upper hillside

2:39:50 ↗ Cemetery section two is now eligible to

2:39:53 ↗ be opened what that means for it to be

2:39:56 ↗ eligible to be opened is we are at a or

2:39:59 ↗ near capacity within the rest of the

2:40:01 ↗ cemetery so we're at an important point

2:40:04 ↗ of that cemetery filling up the second

2:40:08 ↗ key point that really started this work

2:40:10 ↗ was looking beginning to really take a

2:40:13 ↗ sharper look at the long-term

2:40:15 ↗ sustainability of the cemetery fund and

2:40:18 ↗ the long-term maintenance needs of this

2:40:21 ↗ property meaning as we sell that last

2:40:23 ↗ plot where are we going to be

2:40:26 ↗ financially and I think what we

2:40:28 ↗ identified and began to to see is that

2:40:32 ↗ cemetery fund is not in the healthy

2:40:34 ↗ place that we feel that it should be

2:40:37 ↗ when we reach that that critical point

2:40:39 ↗ in the future so the proposed fees that

2:40:44 ↗ you see in front of you I'll touch on

2:40:47 ↗ the last bullet

2:40:48 ↗ represents the the work of coordinated

2:40:52 ↗ effort and coordinated work with both

2:40:54 ↗ the cemetery board and our partner Flint

2:40:57 ↗ offs these proposed fees are in

2:41:01 ↗ alignment with the market rates in the

2:41:04 ↗ area you'll notice in your agenda bill

2:41:08 ↗ Exhibit B this is the same exhibit and

2:41:12 ↗ information that was in that staff

2:41:14 ↗ report dated October 7th where we did

2:41:17 ↗ comparative work with cemeteries both

2:41:19 ↗ public and privately operated cemeteries

2:41:22 ↗ in the area we also took a look at the

2:41:26 ↗ long-term financial health of the

2:41:28 ↗ cemetery fund in the fact that looking

2:41:32 ↗ to add capacity within the cemetery

2:41:35 ↗ within the existing footprint of the

2:41:37 ↗ cemetery as opposed to us needing that

2:41:40 ↗ cemetery are feeling the pressure for

2:41:42 ↗ the cemetery footprint to expand but by

2:41:44 ↗ increasing that capacity primarily with

2:41:47 ↗ niches and diversifying memorial spaces

2:41:51 ↗ we can greatly greatly improve the

2:41:54 ↗ financial picture of the cemetery fund

2:41:59 ↗ without needing to expand the footprint

2:42:03 ↗ of the cemetery a comparison was done in

2:42:07 ↗ Exhibit C which again is in the agenda

2:42:09 ↗ bill as well that comparison was

2:42:13 ↗ provided to you in that staff report on

2:42:17 ↗ October 7th

2:42:20 ↗ so the recommendations related and

2:42:23 ↗ around these fee increases really seek

2:42:26 ↗ to accomplish two goals and these were

2:42:28 ↗ two goals that we talked at length again

2:42:31 ↗ both with Flintoff sand with a cemetery

2:42:33 ↗ board and that is the ability these

2:42:37 ↗ cemetery fees would provide us the

2:42:40 ↗ ability to begin to look at ways through

2:42:43 ↗ this continued cemetery planning work to

2:42:46 ↗ add potential capacity within the

2:42:48 ↗ footprint of upper and lower hillside

2:42:50 ↗ cemetery and we would be able to in the

2:42:54 ↗ cemetery fees look to adjust not only

2:42:57 ↗ the current cemetery fees but also

2:43:00 ↗ create some new fees

2:43:01 ↗ for additional types of memorial spaces

2:43:04 ↗ so diversifying the the spectrum of

2:43:08 ↗ offerings that we have within the

2:43:10 ↗ cemetery and what we found and Alan

2:43:13 ↗ Flintoff was very helpful in this work

2:43:14 ↗ knowing the market and knowing the

2:43:16 ↗ industry that we're really in a position

2:43:18 ↗ in a place of to be able to diversify

2:43:21 ↗ what we're able to offer within the

2:43:25 ↗ cemetery will a position as well now and

2:43:28 ↗ into the future with that operation next

2:43:35 ↗ steps really just related to the

2:43:37 ↗ cemetery fees is on November 6th later

2:43:42 ↗ this week

2:43:43 ↗ continued deliberations will take place

2:43:45 ↗ for the overall budget certainly an

2:43:47 ↗ opportunity for further discussion there

2:43:50 ↗ and feedback and then I was stated with

2:43:54 ↗ the earlier agenda bills adoption this

2:43:58 ↗ agenda bill to come back with potential

2:44:00 ↗ modifications and adoption for the fee

2:44:03 ↗ increases on November 18th I'd like to

2:44:05 ↗ point out at this time there's already

2:44:07 ↗ one modification that we're working on

2:44:09 ↗ that came from our conversations last

2:44:12 ↗ Monday on October 28th we've met already

2:44:15 ↗ last week with Alan Flintoff to begin to

2:44:19 ↗ look at how we might be able to create a

2:44:21 ↗ financial assistance program for

2:44:24 ↗ eligible low-income customers seeking

2:44:29 ↗ cemeteries so we made some great

2:44:31 ↗ progress last week we will be adding

2:44:36 ↗ into the agenda bill not only what those

2:44:40 ↗ eligibility requirements look would look

2:44:42 ↗ like but then how and what those

2:44:44 ↗ discounted fees would look like as well

2:44:47 ↗ so that's already in the works and then

2:44:50 ↗ as I stated earlier these are next steps

2:44:53 ↗ really represent the proposed fee next

2:44:56 ↗ steps that are in front of you but again

2:44:58 ↗ I would just want to reiterate there's a

2:45:02 ↗ lot of a lot of work that we're doing

2:45:03 ↗ with the cemetery and beginning to

2:45:05 ↗ really take a long view at the operation

2:45:08 ↗ of that cemetery and that is work that

2:45:10 ↗ will continue on into

2:45:12 ↗ 20:20 I think we've made good progress

2:45:14 ↗ this year and look forward to seeing

2:45:17 ↗ that work continue next year thank you

2:45:21 ↗ questions council more interesting thank

2:45:23 ↗ you

2:45:25 ↗ you talked about this other area is now

2:45:27 ↗ eligibility opened what what part of the

2:45:33 ↗ is that the hillside Park area so upper

2:45:40 ↗ hillside Cemetery when it was approved

2:45:45 ↗ and plotted included two sections within

2:45:49 ↗ upper hillside Cemetery section one has

2:45:52 ↗ been open since it began I forgive me I

2:45:56 ↗ don't have a map I can certainly have a

2:45:59 ↗ map with the left of the agenda bill but

2:46:02 ↗ the section two is within the planned

2:46:07 ↗ and plotted footprint of upper hillside

2:46:09 ↗ Cemetery thank you remembering did I

2:46:14 ↗ hear you correctly that these proposed

2:46:17 ↗ rates are a step but there may be

2:46:20 ↗ additional changes in the future or no I

2:46:23 ↗ did not hear that correctly no we're not

2:46:25 ↗ we're not planning changes to the to the

2:46:28 ↗ fees in the in the near future I think

2:46:30 ↗ the planning work is more looking at how

2:46:34 ↗ we prioritize creating these spaces some

2:46:38 ↗ of this as is identified the agenda bill

2:46:39 ↗ will require some investment via the

2:46:42 ↗ cemetery fund so how do we prioritize

2:46:44 ↗ those investments is the work I had next

2:46:47 ↗ year and so what you're looking for is

2:46:50 ↗ for us to adopt these this new set of

2:46:52 ↗ fees would the 2020 budget correct any

2:46:58 ↗ other questions councilmember hunt in

2:47:02 ↗ the ordinance there are the fees for

2:47:05 ↗ these additional additional types of

2:47:11 ↗ graves so by authorizing the ordinance

2:47:15 ↗ we would also therefore in its current

2:47:17 ↗ form if we authorize the ordinance we

2:47:19 ↗ would also be taking that policy step of

2:47:21 ↗ authorizing is different

2:47:24 ↗ forms is that correct correct the second

2:47:29 ↗ policy question that's how it works in

2:47:31 ↗ basically by authorizing fees were also

2:47:34 ↗ authorizing these different correct

2:47:36 ↗ things like okay any other questions

2:47:43 ↗ would anyone care to make a motion had a

2:47:48 ↗ mayor I would move to forward a B I

2:47:53 ↗ [Music]

2:47:55 ↗ would move to forward a B seven eight

2:47:59 ↗ seven zero to the November 18 2009 teen

2:48:02 ↗ council meeting for deliberation and

2:48:04 ↗ action again it's been moved and

2:48:07 ↗ seconded is there any discussion all

2:48:10 ↗ those in favor signify by saying aye aye

2:48:12 ↗ those opposed that carries unanimously

2:48:16 ↗ Thank You chef are there any items this

2:48:21 ↗ evening for good of the order I have

2:48:26 ↗ they just want to oh I think I have a

2:48:27 ↗ couple actually I just wanted to remind

2:48:29 ↗ you that I will be making some phone

2:48:35 ↗ applications for vacant seats tomorrow

2:48:37 ↗ if I haven't closed the loop with you

2:48:39 ↗ this evening

2:48:40 ↗ that's all I had and Oh councilmember

2:48:43 ↗ Goodman I just quickly wanted to say

2:48:47 ↗ that generally I like the new layout in

2:48:50 ↗ Council Chambers one of the things I

2:48:52 ↗ noticed however is that when we have

2:48:54 ↗ speakers up to this new podium that I

2:48:58 ↗ noticed that the folks that were

2:49:00 ↗ directly behind particularly in the

2:49:03 ↗ first row it appeared to me that they

2:49:05 ↗ were having to lean to the right or to

2:49:06 ↗ the left to see the screen so I don't

2:49:08 ↗ know if that's true but I just wanted to

2:49:11 ↗ mention that maybe somebody we can get

2:49:13 ↗ some people in here to try it out

2:49:15 ↗ thank you and I'd just like to thank the

2:49:19 ↗ team that worked on the new set up for
