3:53 ↗ plenty of time

3:54 ↗ so allen and gary are here to talk to us

3:56 ↗ tonight about the storm water and

3:58 ↗ wastewater master

4:10 ↗ i'm sorry you should have the presenter

4:12 ↗ control back

4:13 ↗ oh okay

4:16 ↗ okay

4:54 ↗ okay okay

4:57 ↗ all right good evening everybody my name

4:59 ↗ is alan quinn i'm a senior from one

5:00 ↗ engineer for the

5:02 ↗ city of the supply and i'll be

5:04 ↗ presenting the storm research water

5:06 ↗ master plan

5:08 ↗ final adoption

5:11 ↗ and i have gary schimmick he'll be here

5:14 ↗ as needed his support moral support uh

5:17 ↗ he's until his engineering manager and

5:19 ↗ then i have to i have the otak team

5:21 ↗ consultant firm that we hired to help us

5:24 ↗ develop a plan and and the team consists

5:27 ↗ of trista

5:28 ↗ bluskey

5:29 ↗ and

5:30 ↗ shayla jane and justice really

5:33 ↗ she

5:34 ↗ did a great job really doing recording

5:37 ↗ it's spearheading his whole effort she

5:39 ↗ late really needed

5:41 ↗ her grunt work she's an engineer and did

5:43 ↗ all the um analysis and all the

5:46 ↗ technical work so

5:47 ↗ welcome those two and i guess i just

5:49 ↗ want to start off by saying that i think

5:50 ↗ we met last time we met here was about a

5:53 ↗ year ago last spring

5:56 ↗ and that was the first meeting i think

5:57 ↗ that was a very inaugural environmental

5:59 ↗ board meeting um

6:01 ↗ and so

6:02 ↗ here we are again

6:03 ↗ thank you alex can i pause you for a

6:05 ↗ second sure would you like questions

6:06 ↗ comments as we go or wait till that

6:08 ↗ means wherever you prefer i can see

6:10 ↗ nancy's got a question so the agenda

6:13 ↗ topic is storm water and wastewater

6:15 ↗ master plans are you going to present

6:16 ↗ waste water as well no this is just the

6:18 ↗ storm surface water master plan so will

6:20 ↗ the wastewater plan be coming back in a

6:22 ↗ different time

6:23 ↗ i'm not sure yes they'll be coming back

6:25 ↗ at the

6:26 ↗ third quarter or fourth quarter yes okay

6:29 ↗ thank you

6:30 ↗ sorry for the confusion

6:32 ↗ sure

6:33 ↗ okay

6:34 ↗ so moving on here all right so the

6:36 ↗ purpose of me for this presentation is

6:38 ↗ really did this

6:40 ↗ explain where we're at it's really a

6:41 ↗ summary of all the work that's been done

6:43 ↗ quick summary and status and what we

6:46 ↗ need to complete this plan and get a

6:49 ↗ final adoption at the end of the year

6:51 ↗ we also want to present the final sort

6:53 ↗ of the product of all the effort that we

6:56 ↗ the culmination of all the work over the

6:58 ↗ last several years we initiate this

7:00 ↗ whole process back in

7:02 ↗ 2000

7:03 ↗ late 2019 really and then covered it and

7:06 ↗ so that sort of delayed things a bit but

7:08 ↗ um

7:09 ↗ but here we are so it's and that's going

7:11 ↗ to really consist of the final smos or

7:13 ↗ stillwater management options which is

7:15 ↗ another term that we use

7:17 ↗ would be projects actual cip projects

7:19 ↗ that we can implement including our cip

7:22 ↗ program

7:23 ↗ and then

7:25 ↗ within within like a 20-year time

7:27 ↗ horizon so

7:30 ↗ and the quick agenda summary so i'm

7:32 ↗ going to discuss what's going to be in

7:34 ↗ the final draft plan um schedule

7:37 ↗ the s map requirement

7:39 ↗ we'll get that a little bit later

7:41 ↗ prioritization process recap and smo

7:44 ↗ screening

7:46 ↗ for final cip so how we actually

7:48 ↗ got to these final 10

7:50 ↗ projects

7:52 ↗ the smo metrics we used to prioritize

7:54 ↗ these projects and the final list of 10

7:57 ↗ projects and then any questions

8:01 ↗ yes or when you have acronyms can we

8:03 ↗ divide before yes i will do that exactly

8:05 ↗ thank you

8:06 ↗ so

8:07 ↗ here's so basically what we need to do

8:09 ↗ so this plan um we're going to submit

8:12 ↗ well there's two different courses of

8:13 ↗ action one is it satisfies the

8:15 ↗ requirement in our nvds which is our

8:17 ↗ national pollution discharge elimination

8:19 ↗ system phase two permit

8:21 ↗ and that's the permit that allows us to

8:22 ↗ basically get it's a discharge permit so

8:24 ↗ we can actually discharge from water to

8:27 ↗ water to the us

8:28 ↗ part of that current requires that we

8:30 ↗ develop an s map or storm water

8:32 ↗ management action plan

8:34 ↗ and that is and so this is going to

8:36 ↗ satisfy part of that requirement but

8:38 ↗ it's also to help assist with developing

8:40 ↗ our cip list just as part of our

8:42 ↗ stormwater management

8:44 ↗ plan that we

8:45 ↗ currently have when i sort of update

8:47 ↗ that plan with these new projects

8:49 ↗ um so it really is going to consist of

8:51 ↗ in this well this plan was completed

8:53 ↗ it's in the draft form now will be

8:55 ↗ submitted to ecology for the review

8:57 ↗ they've been reviewing different parts

8:58 ↗ of this plan all along the last couple

9:00 ↗ years and then they're going to get the

9:01 ↗ final plan to review

9:03 ↗ and and then all concurrently we're

9:04 ↗ going to be

9:05 ↗ getting it reviewed through internal

9:07 ↗ staff

9:08 ↗ and then a debt that they get adopted by

9:10 ↗ the council in your november time frame

9:13 ↗ the plan consists of existing conditions

9:15 ↗ assessment which is we've already i

9:16 ↗ think we've discussed that at the last

9:18 ↗ meeting we went through with that but

9:19 ↗ all was that entailed that's a huge

9:21 ↗ amount of work to really

9:23 ↗ look at what the existing bases are like

9:25 ↗ in terms of water quality habitat

9:28 ↗ and flooding issues

9:30 ↗ they have a lot of stakeholder input for

9:34 ↗ issues basins of the city

9:35 ↗ in identifying

9:37 ↗ and so that really is all packaged in

9:39 ↗ that in that section the smo or water

9:42 ↗ management options list and metrics that

9:44 ↗ will be in there

9:45 ↗ that would be all the problems are all

9:47 ↗ the identified problems and then the

9:49 ↗ solutions to solve those problems

9:51 ↗ stable engagement there's a section on

9:53 ↗ how we got to this point in terms of

9:55 ↗ having everyone involved in the process

9:57 ↗ so that includes the public

9:59 ↗ agencies

10:00 ↗ internal staff

10:03 ↗ various committees boards and

10:06 ↗ city council so that's been huge over

10:08 ↗ the last couple years

10:10 ↗ um and the college needs to have that in

10:13 ↗ there as well so they can see that we've

10:14 ↗ actually followed the public process to

10:17 ↗ come up with you know

10:18 ↗ these projects

10:20 ↗ the final priority sml list um the

10:22 ↗ schedule and then button budget needs

10:26 ↗ adaptive management and then and then

10:28 ↗ based on prioritization and s map

10:31 ↗ so

10:32 ↗ keep moving along here

10:34 ↗ so i guess so once again s map that's

10:37 ↗ just another it's just this

10:39 ↗ thought process that we have to go

10:40 ↗ through and it's something that is part

10:42 ↗ of the nps permit that ecology requires

10:45 ↗ all cities to develop

10:47 ↗ within a certain time frame so

10:50 ↗ uh plan

10:52 ↗ completion schedule so as you can see

10:54 ↗ there i have there's really four touch

10:56 ↗ points with various committees and

10:58 ↗ boards

10:59 ↗ first one is of course the environment

11:00 ↗ board today tonight

11:02 ↗ then we're going to quickly turn around

11:04 ↗ and

11:05 ↗ present to the parks board and the end

11:07 ↗ of the month

11:08 ↗ in the early august

11:10 ↗ planning development and environmental

11:11 ↗ committee

11:13 ↗ and then in november will be the city

11:16 ↗ council adoption so

11:18 ↗ i also have a timeline for the this will

11:21 ↗ involve civa because we are looking at

11:23 ↗ you know this could have potential

11:24 ↗ changes to

11:26 ↗ yeah that you know land use all kinds of

11:29 ↗ things could evolve from this so we do

11:31 ↗ have to go through a secret review

11:33 ↗ process so we'll initiate that sometime

11:35 ↗ in august once we have the final draft

11:37 ↗ plan completed and then out for review

11:40 ↗ then it would be ecology

11:42 ↗ that's their review schedule

11:45 ↗ in there give them time to look at the

11:46 ↗ final product and provide any comments

11:49 ↗ and then internal city staff so i we've

11:52 ↗ been already working with the various

11:53 ↗ departments parks department has been

11:55 ↗ involved in this

11:57 ↗ operations

12:01 ↗ so you know we involved several

12:03 ↗ departments already

12:04 ↗ and

12:05 ↗ planning development they're really

12:07 ↗ looking at it

12:09 ↗ and

12:10 ↗ we're gonna try to get all those

12:11 ↗ comments incorporated and then

12:13 ↗ finalize it adjust all the comments

12:15 ↗ finalize and get it for the city council

12:18 ↗ november

12:21 ↗ smo and cfp crisis prioritization

12:24 ↗ process i'm going to let um otak and

12:27 ↗ just to take over this one

12:33 ↗ thanks alan can everyone hear me okay

12:36 ↗ yes wonderful okay i'm trista koblewski

12:40 ↗ from otak thanks for that nice

12:41 ↗ introduction earlier alan

12:43 ↗ we've been uh really pleased to be

12:45 ↗ working on this for the past i think we

12:47 ↗ actually started in 2018 so we've been

12:50 ↗ working on this for quite a while and

12:52 ↗ it's been it's a pretty ambitious plan

12:54 ↗ um and we're happy that it's coming to

12:56 ↗ the finish line so we wanted to just run

12:59 ↗ through a little bit about how we took

13:02 ↗ over 300 issues that we collected during

13:05 ↗ that initial phase when we were doing

13:08 ↗ the baseline assessments of all each

13:10 ↗ basin

13:11 ↗ and winnowed it down

13:13 ↗ step by step until we have reached a

13:15 ↗ capital improvement program of

13:18 ↗ 10 projects and i'm just gonna go over

13:21 ↗ this

13:22 ↗ pretty quickly and um

13:25 ↗ as far as i'm concerned if you have

13:26 ↗ questions during this slide it's fine um

13:29 ↗ i don't know that i'll be able to see

13:31 ↗ you so someone else will have to prompt

13:32 ↗ me

13:33 ↗ but we collected more than 300 issues

13:37 ↗ water quality issues

13:39 ↗ flooding issues erosion and

13:41 ↗ sedimentation and streams and

13:43 ↗ maintenance issues and we collected them

13:45 ↗ from a variety of sources a lot came

13:47 ↗ from city staff

13:49 ↗ some came from the public when we

13:51 ↗ went to the public and asked them to

13:54 ↗ put dots on a map and tell us where they

13:56 ↗ had concerns

13:58 ↗ other public reports of issues that came

14:01 ↗ in independently of that and other

14:03 ↗ agencies your neighbors and other

14:06 ↗ agencies stakeholders all contributed to

14:08 ↗ that list

14:10 ↗ and then the city

14:11 ↗ itself initiated a process with

14:14 ↗ its internal stakeholders and a few

14:16 ↗ invited stakeholders to select the top

14:19 ↗ issues from that quite large set

14:23 ↗ and they came up with uh 41

14:27 ↗ shoots

14:28 ↗ um

14:29 ↗ and those were spread throughout the

14:31 ↗ city in fact it was um

14:34 ↗ important that we had issues represented

14:38 ↗ in all of the basins

14:40 ↗ and it was also important that there

14:41 ↗ were issues representing all the

14:43 ↗ different types of issues that we had

14:45 ↗ collected

14:46 ↗ i also i neglected to mention i'm sorry

14:49 ↗ that habitat issues most of which are

14:52 ↗ culvert or fish passage barriers were

14:54 ↗ also included in that initial

14:57 ↗ so once we had the

15:00 ↗ top 41 issues representing again a

15:02 ↗ variety of issue types and spread

15:04 ↗ throughout the city

15:06 ↗ from that we selected

15:09 ↗ 23

15:11 ↗ to develop conceptual solutions for

15:15 ↗ real high-level solutions at that point

15:17 ↗ and we are calling those stormwater

15:19 ↗ management options smos as alan

15:21 ↗ mentioned before

15:24 ↗ this terminology comes from

15:26 ↗ the ecology grant that is funding part

15:29 ↗ of this work but not all of it

15:32 ↗ uh we selected

15:34 ↗ those 23

15:36 ↗ we had some similar criteria we wanted

15:38 ↗ to make sure there was a solution for

15:42 ↗ in that representative set for at least

15:45 ↗ partly

15:47 ↗ one in at least every basin at least one

15:49 ↗ in every basin

15:51 ↗ and again we wanted the set of solutions

15:53 ↗ to represent a variety

15:55 ↗ of

15:56 ↗ problems or issues

15:58 ↗ and we

15:59 ↗ importantly wanted to focus on what are

16:02 ↗ known as retrofits

16:04 ↗ and that is providing new water quality

16:07 ↗ or new flow control service to an area

16:10 ↗ that doesn't have water quality or

16:12 ↗ doesn't have flow control

16:14 ↗ um

16:15 ↗ because it was developed prior to

16:17 ↗ regulations requiring that

16:20 ↗ and one reason we wanted to focus on

16:22 ↗ that is that that is the

16:24 ↗ key

16:25 ↗ requirement of that s-map requirement in

16:29 ↗ your permit

16:30 ↗ and is also a key requirement of the

16:33 ↗ ecology grant that's funding part of

16:34 ↗ this work so it was really important

16:36 ↗ that we

16:37 ↗ um

16:38 ↗ ensure that there was a a number of

16:40 ↗ those retrofits in that set

16:43 ↗ after that set of 23 we applied

16:47 ↗ some metrics to them

16:49 ↗ and these metrics had been approved by

16:51 ↗ ecology under the grant and we can

16:53 ↗ actually look at what the metrics were

16:54 ↗ in the next slide i actually think gary

16:57 ↗ um and alan talked to you about them

17:00 ↗ before

17:02 ↗ when we were developing the list of

17:03 ↗ metrics

17:04 ↗ they reviewed what we were going to use

17:07 ↗ i can just go over that list again

17:09 ↗ we did

17:10 ↗ end up using essentially the same things

17:12 ↗ we talked about or you talked about with

17:14 ↗ gary and alan at that time

17:17 ↗ and the purpose of the metrics was to

17:19 ↗ create a ranking

17:20 ↗ of those solutions

17:23 ↗ and then from that ranked list

17:27 ↗ we chose 10 to develop a little further

17:30 ↗ into the capital improvement program

17:32 ↗ um and just to

17:34 ↗ set your mind at ease all the known

17:36 ↗ issues

17:38 ↗ of the entire set of smos whether or not

17:40 ↗ they floated to the top or not are all

17:43 ↗ going to be represented in the plan so

17:45 ↗ there'll be lists of everything in the

17:47 ↗ plan and the capital improvement

17:49 ↗ projects the 10 that floated to the top

17:52 ↗ will just be developed

17:55 ↗ further than the rest and will have

17:56 ↗ better cost information and more of an

17:59 ↗ idea of when those solutions will be

18:01 ↗ implemented but your plan

18:04 ↗ has developed so much information that

18:06 ↗ there will be a backlog of things that

18:07 ↗ you can work on for years to come

18:10 ↗ um with the information that we

18:12 ↗ developed in this plan so none of even

18:15 ↗ though 10 floated to the top nothing's

18:17 ↗ really been lost and and there's a

18:19 ↗ wealth of information that you can use

18:21 ↗ to continue solving problems over the

18:23 ↗ next several years

18:25 ↗ that was a really long so sorry i was

18:27 ↗ pretty verbose there i'll stop now

18:31 ↗ no that's great

18:32 ↗ thank you yeah i think it's important to

18:34 ↗ know that really this plan although it

18:35 ↗ will be adopted

18:38 ↗ by council it's a living document and it

18:40 ↗ can you know it will evolve and you know

18:42 ↗ every two years we go through a budget

18:45 ↗ process of developing civs and when we

18:47 ↗ develop that capital improvement program

18:49 ↗ we'll pull projects from

18:52 ↗ from the 10

18:53 ↗ and

18:54 ↗ incorporate it into the cip but it

18:56 ↗ doesn't mean that you know as things

18:57 ↗ change and other issues come up um

19:00 ↗ uh we could we could

19:01 ↗ adopt adjust it and it might be a

19:03 ↗ process where we you know

19:06 ↗ revise it at some point in the future so

19:08 ↗ i think it's important to know that we

19:10 ↗ want to keep all those all those

19:11 ↗ solutions in there

19:12 ↗ um but that we you know recognize we

19:15 ↗ have to really narrow down to the

19:17 ↗ select few that we can really drill down

19:19 ↗ and come up with detailed cost estimates

19:20 ↗ and

19:21 ↗ implementation of schedules for them so

19:25 ↗ all right moving on here so just go

19:27 ↗ through these again these sms from order

19:29 ↗ match option

19:30 ↗ metrics and prioritization so once again

19:32 ↗ we

19:33 ↗ here and i the last time we met a year

19:35 ↗ ago plus

19:37 ↗ we went through these um i think they

19:39 ↗ did we didn't ask for feedback and i

19:41 ↗ think you know generally speaking

19:42 ↗ everyone was okay with these

19:44 ↗ with these metrics in terms of how to

19:47 ↗ assign numerical value for each of these

19:49 ↗ and

19:51 ↗ it is a way to really

19:53 ↗ prioritize projects and so just real

19:56 ↗ quickly we looked at you know how well

19:57 ↗ does it actually solve the problem

19:59 ↗ um in terms of water quality and

20:01 ↗ flooding and habitat and how and a

20:03 ↗ direct benefit displacement we thought

20:05 ↗ that was important yeah almost on that

20:07 ↗ one just to remember i think that that

20:09 ↗ was actually added after a conversation

20:11 ↗ the benefit of this management that's

20:13 ↗ one that uh

20:15 ↗ from this discussion

20:16 ↗ uh ended up having to correct

20:26 ↗ [Music]

20:32 ↗ how much work will that involve to get

20:34 ↗ that

20:36 ↗ you know purchase that property due to a

20:37 ↗ project that's always something to

20:38 ↗ consider constructability

20:41 ↗ um

20:42 ↗ uh yeah so that's like obviously is it

20:46 ↗ special construction techniques or

20:48 ↗ things that are you know good at come to

20:50 ↗ cost

20:51 ↗ um

20:52 ↗ also involve you know utility conflicts

20:55 ↗ you know we have a huge duck bank you

20:57 ↗ know so that's another thing to consider

20:59 ↗ permitting is always important you know

21:01 ↗ how difficult will be the permanent

21:03 ↗ different agencies fish and wildlife

21:05 ↗ court of engineers and that really

21:07 ↗ drives like the timing

21:08 ↗ and so that's important costs and

21:10 ↗ funding opportunities so this is really

21:12 ↗ leveraging

21:13 ↗ grant funds which we've done a pretty

21:14 ↗ good job in the city is a quad course

21:18 ↗ you know our restoration projects street

21:19 ↗ habitat restoration projects so it's

21:21 ↗ really trying to you know leverage those

21:24 ↗ grant opportunities and the timing of

21:26 ↗ those grants so it's important

21:28 ↗ and timing plays into the grant

21:31 ↗ opportunities

21:32 ↗ um

21:33 ↗ and coordination partnership with others

21:35 ↗ so

21:36 ↗ you know whether we work with washington

21:37 ↗ state department transportation and when

21:39 ↗ they're doing projects so obviously the

21:40 ↗ culver replacement projects in i-90 that

21:43 ↗ are moving forward here in the next

21:44 ↗ couple years that's our opportunity time

21:46 ↗ to work with them to do projects in

21:48 ↗ conjunction with those projects so

21:50 ↗ that's a savings there

21:52 ↗ um and we'll talk about that later here

21:54 ↗ in the media

21:56 ↗ presentation of regulatory requirements

21:59 ↗ um

22:00 ↗ re-satisfying any kind of

22:02 ↗ mbds requirement obviously

22:05 ↗ environmental and social justice so we

22:07 ↗ looked at that a little bit and that's a

22:09 ↗ little tricky but

22:10 ↗ there there's a metrics that we applied

22:12 ↗ for that

22:13 ↗ that we can use

22:14 ↗ um trying to make sure we're

22:16 ↗ doing projects that are fairly

22:18 ↗ representative of the communities

22:20 ↗ and then finally the public input so

22:25 ↗ any questions on any of those

22:27 ↗ metrics

22:32 ↗ what um

22:34 ↗ what what are your metrics for

22:36 ↗ environment environment and equity

22:39 ↗ um you know trista maybe you can i think

22:41 ↗ shifter really develops those and that's

22:44 ↗ one thing we did within this law and

22:45 ↗ this presentation is sort of the

22:47 ↗ numerical values of these things i don't

22:49 ↗ think we could do that but maybe speak

22:51 ↗ to the

22:52 ↗ to that i couldn't hear i know that it

22:55 ↗ was about the social justice but i

22:57 ↗ couldn't hear the question

22:59 ↗ what are some of the things we

23:00 ↗ considered when we looked at the social

23:02 ↗ justice environmental i i think it was i

23:04 ↗ think

23:06 ↗ okay

23:07 ↗ yeah um

23:09 ↗ we

23:10 ↗ we did a pretty simple

23:12 ↗ um

23:14 ↗ analysis for that

23:16 ↗ and

23:17 ↗ let me

23:18 ↗ pull it up

23:19 ↗ we we looked by census tract

23:22 ↗ and we used the

23:24 ↗ environmental protection agency's

23:29 ↗ environmental justice screening tool

23:32 ↗ and

23:33 ↗ [Music]

23:34 ↗ they have an index value uh

23:38 ↗ that goes by census tract that uh

23:41 ↗ attempts to measure

23:42 ↗ numerous factors and uh

23:45 ↗ about um

23:47 ↗ social equity basically and uh condense

23:50 ↗ it all into a

23:52 ↗ single index value and we use the

23:54 ↗ demographic index value and what we

23:57 ↗ ended up doing was uh looking to see

23:59 ↗ where kind of the breaking points were

24:01 ↗ when we

24:02 ↗ mapped it in the city limits itself

24:06 ↗ and we ended up

24:08 ↗ trying to

24:10 ↗ give more points if there were

24:14 ↗ more inequality

24:16 ↗ issaquah doesn't have high levels of

24:18 ↗ inequality the index value is is

24:20 ↗ actually

24:21 ↗ um

24:23 ↗ compared across the entire united states

24:26 ↗ so there

24:27 ↗ there weren't uh

24:28 ↗ and when you

24:30 ↗ take it by an entire census tract it's

24:33 ↗ it's not um

24:34 ↗ very granular but we took um

24:37 ↗ census tracts that had above the 85th

24:39 ↗ percentile

24:40 ↗ of that index value and the higher index

24:44 ↗ value

24:45 ↗ indicates greater inequality

24:48 ↗ uh we gave those point are those

24:50 ↗ projects

24:52 ↗ an extra three points

24:54 ↗ um

24:55 ↗ we gave two points if the

24:57 ↗ index value is between the 70th and 85th

25:00 ↗ percentile

25:02 ↗ one point if it was between the 55th and

25:05 ↗ 70th percentile and no points if it was

25:07 ↗ below that

25:11 ↗ great thank you

25:12 ↗ thank you

25:16 ↗ okay cip status

25:18 ↗ so once again we selected ncip's as

25:23 ↗ explained a little bit about that

25:24 ↗ earlier

25:25 ↗ and currently working on developing the

25:28 ↗ concept designs and the cost estimates

25:30 ↗ so that's where the next phase is just

25:32 ↗ to start working we're working on those

25:34 ↗ now we're really going to get that

25:35 ↗ wrapped up in the next several couple

25:37 ↗ weeks to find out positive or second

25:39 ↗ health chance yes question

25:41 ↗ hi alan um so why ten cip projects

25:45 ↗ i have two questions that are kind of

25:46 ↗ tied together and why is there one in

25:49 ↗ each basin are we leaving something up

25:51 ↗ is there like if we did two in one basin

25:52 ↗ we'd get a better bang for a buck

26:04 ↗ and i think i think the ones we chose

26:06 ↗ are really good ones not like we

26:08 ↗ chose one where there's one really good

26:10 ↗ one that we decide well i mean it's like

26:12 ↗ it's gonna fall out because we have to

26:14 ↗ pick one for whatever basin and it

26:16 ↗ doesn't have one

26:18 ↗ it was low so i think all of them that

26:20 ↗ we chose were you know they made the top

26:22 ↗ 23 right everything was in this top 23

26:25 ↗ of

26:26 ↗ projects

26:27 ↗ um and so i think it's important to

26:29 ↗ remember that those 23 are still there

26:31 ↗ and we can still go back into those

26:34 ↗ projects at any time

26:36 ↗ and but i think we need to recognize

26:38 ↗ that we had to really narrow it down to

26:39 ↗ 10 just because that was a manageable

26:41 ↗ number that we could implement within a

26:43 ↗ reasonable amount of time given our

26:44 ↗ budget you know our funding and so forth

26:47 ↗ so that seemed like a good number to

26:49 ↗ shoot for

26:50 ↗ um

26:55 ↗ can i follow up on that so if you looked

26:58 ↗ at the 11th project that didn't make the

27:00 ↗ cut that was in maybe let's say the old

27:02 ↗ town neighborhood would you get a better

27:04 ↗ bang for your buck if you would have put

27:06 ↗ that project on the list instead of

27:07 ↗ something somewhere else and i just used

27:09 ↗ old town as a

27:11 ↗ as just one of the neighborhoods so i

27:13 ↗ guess i'm trying to understand

27:15 ↗ i still don't understand why we had to

27:17 ↗ have one in every base and one if you

27:19 ↗ look at it from a cost benefit what's

27:21 ↗ giving us the best

27:22 ↗ water quality and environmental benefits

27:25 ↗ what projects are doing the best for the

27:27 ↗ city

27:28 ↗ well i think well first of all

27:30 ↗ um

27:31 ↗ yeah i know you're saying by the way old

27:33 ↗ town is

27:34 ↗ is actually this is our part is quite a

27:36 ↗ highest priority of all of our of our

27:39 ↗ issues and the solutions so that's

27:41 ↗ that's number one

27:42 ↗ um

27:44 ↗ you know i i think it was just we just

27:46 ↗ felt it was important to to have one in

27:48 ↗ each basin i don't know

27:50 ↗ um

27:52 ↗ that was our criteria that we

27:53 ↗ established so you didn't hear that from

27:54 ↗ the community or the council didn't say

27:56 ↗ they wanted one in each basin was that

27:58 ↗ where you did you get any push that way

28:00 ↗ correct no no so that was just an

28:03 ↗ internal decision with me okay thank you

28:07 ↗ yeah i know trista if you wish to add on

28:08 ↗ that or i i think

28:12 ↗ no i think you covered it it was

28:14 ↗ it was a value from the beginning of

28:16 ↗ this

28:17 ↗ plan

28:18 ↗ um that it would be city-wide and

28:21 ↗ broadly cover the geographic area of the

28:24 ↗ city yeah i mean just try to represent

28:27 ↗ represent the city's best food

28:31 ↗ [Music]

28:32 ↗ that's one thing on the following

28:34 ↗ presentations and then to the

28:36 ↗ subcommittee

28:37 ↗ that uh presentation to the

28:40 ↗ committee council committee that we

28:42 ↗ could show is that this is the

28:43 ↗ recommended recommended um

28:45 ↗ how should i say it uh distributed um

28:49 ↗ top ten

28:50 ↗ but if we were to go directly to the uh

28:55 ↗ straight numerically this is what it

28:57 ↗ would look like so basically it just

28:59 ↗ kind of shows those bookends of the

29:00 ↗ straight cut and this

29:02 ↗ and what the what the pros and cons

29:05 ↗ would be i think that would be an easy

29:06 ↗ way to do it with the distributed model

29:08 ↗ being

29:10 ↗ what we were talking about trying to

29:12 ↗ touch touch everything and there's some

29:14 ↗ there's you know you can explain that

29:16 ↗ very easily the pros and cons of cuts

29:18 ↗ that and then flip to exactly what

29:20 ↗ you're saying like oh okay

29:22 ↗ here's the projects exactly right and

29:24 ↗ that's kind of what i'm trying to

29:25 ↗ understand what did you leave out to get

29:28 ↗ it in every basin or what

29:30 ↗ i i know we're not seeing the top ten

29:31 ↗ projects

29:32 ↗ okay

29:33 ↗ so and that's kind of what i'm pushing

29:35 ↗ back on what's the top ten projects in

29:37 ↗ the city

29:39 ↗ yeah and we can look at that with that's

29:40 ↗ a good point we can look at that

29:41 ↗ comparison look if we just bring them by

29:43 ↗ score absolutely then we compare that to

29:46 ↗ you know okay what do we miss and i

29:48 ↗ think that's a great thing to present to

29:49 ↗ council because i think that same

29:51 ↗ question will come up

29:52 ↗ and maybe it's only one project wow you

29:54 ↗ guys did a great job you know that's you

29:56 ↗ know that really will come out really

29:57 ↗ well

29:58 ↗ i agree appreciate your comment thank

29:59 ↗ you

30:02 ↗ take those crystals

30:06 ↗ all right um final cip list in nap i

30:09 ↗ don't know tristan you want to

30:10 ↗ definitely not to say this one this is

30:12 ↗ just a give you an idea

30:14 ↗ of decisions in the city

30:16 ↗ so kind of geography of what we're

30:18 ↗ talking about the scale of the bay

30:21 ↗ size of both sizes of the basins

30:24 ↗ and

30:25 ↗ projects are um

30:28 ↗ sure you can go over this really quickly

30:31 ↗ um

30:33 ↗ so there are two three different types

30:36 ↗ of cip in this map

30:38 ↗ most of them are points and you can see

30:40 ↗ those as the

30:41 ↗ uh orange dots we have one that we are

30:45 ↗ calling a linear cip we uh in the

30:48 ↗ tibbetts basin right near its confluence

30:50 ↗ with like sammamish and then there is

30:52 ↗ one that's actually a study

30:55 ↗ oh i'm using my mouse i realize you

30:57 ↗ can't see my mouse um i'm gonna ask alan

31:00 ↗ i'm gonna request to control the screen

31:03 ↗ and then i think people will be able to

31:04 ↗ see my mouse

31:07 ↗ can you see my mouse moving around

31:10 ↗ yeah yeah

31:13 ↗ okay so this um polygon right here this

31:16 ↗ orange polygon um you see that i'm

31:19 ↗ tracing with my mouse is a cip study of

31:22 ↗ the old time uh old town area oh nope

31:26 ↗ you can't see my mouse now you might be

31:27 ↗ able to see my mouse

31:29 ↗ um this is the cip study of the old town

31:32 ↗ area

31:37 ↗ as you can see

31:39 ↗ there are four cips in the issaquah

31:42 ↗ creek basin

31:44 ↗ and the other basin that has multiples

31:48 ↗ is

31:49 ↗ um

31:53 ↗ pivots

31:55 ↗ i apologize actually it's schneider

31:58 ↗ and then um each of the others

32:01 ↗ or in laughing jacobs

32:02 ↗ has two depending on how you categorize

32:05 ↗ sp13 uh this could probably will be

32:07 ↗ treating runoff uh that goes both to

32:10 ↗ laughing jacobs and into park hill

32:13 ↗ so this is a

32:15 ↗ potentially a particularly effective cip

32:17 ↗ treating water water running off into

32:19 ↗ two different water bodies

32:21 ↗ um

32:23 ↗ and

32:24 ↗ yeah there's a table here at the bottom

32:27 ↗ allowing you to

32:28 ↗ coordinate or look up the number and see

32:31 ↗ what the project name is

32:33 ↗ and then on the next slide there is

32:35 ↗ actually a little more detailed list

32:38 ↗ which uh then you could change to the

32:40 ↗ next slide alan all right

32:42 ↗ do i have to do that because i have

32:43 ↗ control sorry i'm new at webex so i'm

32:46 ↗ not sure

32:48 ↗ i think so

32:49 ↗ i think you're still i don't know how

32:51 ↗ though

32:53 ↗ don't know how to move the slides

32:56 ↗ there we go

32:57 ↗ okay thanks

33:00 ↗ um so this is a slightly more detailed

33:02 ↗ list um

33:04 ↗ this is in order first by basin and then

33:07 ↗ by rank within the basin

33:11 ↗ and

33:12 ↗ what we had planned to do at this

33:14 ↗ meeting was take a kind of a quick look

33:17 ↗ a slightly more detailed look at each

33:19 ↗ one of these

33:20 ↗ cips

33:22 ↗ so the next few slides the next 10

33:24 ↗ slides really are

33:26 ↗ a map of each each one's location

33:29 ↗ and

33:30 ↗ gives us a chance to talk about what's

33:33 ↗ going on in that location and what we

33:35 ↗ think the solution is

33:40 ↗ i'm actually going to release control

33:42 ↗ if i can figure out how to do that

33:55 ↗ i just have one quick question so

33:58 ↗ about a year ago we were getting

34:00 ↗ feedback

34:01 ↗ so i don't have access to my internet

34:03 ↗ right now so i can't about the impact of

34:07 ↗ brake

34:07 ↗ linings and um

34:10 ↗ tires on

34:11 ↗ salmon and coconin

34:15 ↗ projects potentially look at what we can

34:17 ↗ do to improve things like that

34:20 ↗ well yeah

34:21 ↗ we'll get into that but really the

34:22 ↗ retrofit projects that we're going to

34:24 ↗ show you later here

34:26 ↗ they're addressing that so there's water

34:27 ↗ quality treatments

34:29 ↗ they're standard they're using

34:31 ↗ technology that's been around a while

34:33 ↗ and in fact city discipline we have a

34:35 ↗ doing a study with

34:37 ↗ tacoma to look at the 6bdq

34:41 ↗ treatment this is our existing facility

34:43 ↗ so we're actually sampling doing

34:44 ↗ sampling of

34:46 ↗ what's pond and a cartridge system and a

34:49 ↗ bio retention

34:50 ↗ system

34:51 ↗ three different types of water quality

34:53 ↗ technologies that they've been around

34:54 ↗ for you know 15 20 years

34:57 ↗ and testing the influence fluid

34:59 ↗ measurement measurements and looking at

35:00 ↗ the removal efficiencies of those types

35:02 ↗ of systems with the 6bd queue

35:05 ↗ specifically looking at that it looks

35:07 ↗ pretty promising i can't really go to

35:09 ↗ the data but it's looking pretty good

35:11 ↗ so at least for now it looks like that

35:14 ↗ those existing technologies are going to

35:16 ↗ work and treat that in addition to the

35:19 ↗ metals that they're designed to treat

35:22 ↗ and so um so yes we have several

35:24 ↗ projects that will be retrofit projects

35:26 ↗ where they're going to be treating

35:28 ↗ roadways and previous pollution

35:30 ↗ generating services that currently have

35:31 ↗ no treatment and that's so that's the

35:34 ↗ aim but that's really the big part of

35:35 ↗ what what ecology wants to see in these

35:39 ↗ guest map type

35:42 ↗ or smos is projects that really trigger

35:45 ↗ or target um retrofit projects

35:49 ↗ thanks for explaining that it's just

35:50 ↗ hard to see that when you read through

35:52 ↗ this so thank you sure could i have one

35:54 ↗ thing on that as well too just very

35:56 ↗ quickly

35:57 ↗ there was a council request i think last

35:58 ↗ year that we're working on to develop a

36:00 ↗ gis layer that shows all of our existing

36:04 ↗ treatment

36:05 ↗ and what's going to be really important

36:08 ↗ with that as we go through that is that

36:10 ↗ it's really an asset management set to

36:12 ↗ look at what what are the facilities we

36:14 ↗ have

36:15 ↗ when were they installed what what

36:16 ↗ technology they have

36:18 ↗ because we

36:19 ↗ you know alan and i were talking about

36:20 ↗ this it's very important to treat areas

36:22 ↗ that don't have

36:24 ↗ anything that's great but what about an

36:26 ↗ area that has a lot of traffic and was

36:29 ↗ you know developed in 1990 and has

36:31 ↗ really inferior technology

36:33 ↗ so

36:34 ↗ you know again we're a little ways away

36:36 ↗ from that but i think that's what you're

36:37 ↗ gonna you know see in the future's

36:39 ↗ comparison

36:40 ↗ of that that we want to you know um push

36:42 ↗ back a little bit on ecology if

36:44 ↗ necessary and say hey we understand this

36:46 ↗ basis doesn't have anything but when you

36:48 ↗ look over here we think we should maybe

36:50 ↗ skip this one for now and come back to

36:52 ↗ that but that's

36:58 ↗ when that work is all done we're gonna

36:59 ↗ have this gis mapping that's gonna show

37:01 ↗ where we have existing treatment what

37:03 ↗ area how much acreage is it treating

37:05 ↗ throughout the city what type of

37:06 ↗ treatment system is it and then look at

37:08 ↗ okay prioritizing retrofitting you know

37:11 ↗ maybe areas that have older

37:13 ↗ intention

37:14 ↗ or wet ponds which is lower you know

37:16 ↗ older technology maybe we can upgrade

37:18 ↗ those

37:19 ↗ to a more of a height

37:21 ↗ they call hands treatment to deal with

37:23 ↗ the heavy metals so

37:25 ↗ that's going to be a great tool to get

37:27 ↗ that going so so when you complete this

37:29 ↗ study on the 6ppdq

37:31 ↗ i'd be interested to hear the findings

37:33 ↗ of that and then if you're willing to

37:35 ↗ share that i think the the regional

37:38 ↗ subgroup would be very interesting yes

37:40 ↗ sure absolutely

37:42 ↗ yeah i you know at the various riot

37:45 ↗ meetings that i do attend the technical

37:47 ↗ committee meetings and

37:48 ↗ i've brought this up they've been

37:50 ↗ interested in that because because that

37:51 ↗ group is is looking at that as well and

37:54 ↗ so they wish to know that

37:56 ↗ this claw and either tacoma are

37:58 ↗ collaborating on this so

38:02 ↗ fantastic okay

38:06 ↗ um all right so this is okay so we're

38:08 ↗ gonna start with our

38:10 ↗ ten projects this is the first one

38:12 ↗ and it actually i'm not sure they're in

38:14 ↗ order of priority but they this one

38:16 ↗ happens to be the

38:19 ↗ top of

38:20 ↗ projects and this is very complicated

38:22 ↗ complex issues here

38:24 ↗ and uh it's really going to involve us

38:26 ↗ uh we're looking at a study we i mean

38:28 ↗ initially otac looked at

38:30 ↗ they

38:31 ↗ looked at sort of specific prop

38:34 ↗ or projects that could work but it

38:36 ↗ became pretty obvious pretty quickly

38:38 ↗ that this is a really complex solution

38:39 ↗ because you have

38:41 ↗ so much happening in the space in the

38:42 ↗ interview this yeah this area old town

38:44 ↗ you have the internet you have the squat

38:46 ↗ creek which has its own you know creates

38:49 ↗ its own problems with the floodplain

38:51 ↗ and then you have um

38:53 ↗ shallow groundwater you have

38:56 ↗ some high-intensity land use areas um

39:00 ↗ inferior poor infrastructure stormwater

39:02 ↗ old systole storm systems and so this

39:05 ↗ really is a

39:07 ↗ more complex problem that we could

39:08 ↗ really otec could have dealt with in

39:10 ↗ terms of coming up with solution and we

39:12 ↗ felt it was really

39:13 ↗ suited for a more detailed analysis um

39:17 ↗ and so i don't and i interested you're

39:18 ↗ going to maybe or i'm sorry she

39:21 ↗ was going to maybe hit on a few things

39:23 ↗ about this project

39:25 ↗ for civ

39:27 ↗ thanks one

39:27 ↗ can you hear me

39:30 ↗ yes

39:30 ↗ okay

39:31 ↗ yeah so i think just like alan mentioned

39:33 ↗ um this this area what you see um on the

39:36 ↗ map here um the orange polyline is

39:39 ↗ basically 370 370 acres it's old town

39:43 ↗ and the blue dots represent all these

39:45 ↗ issues that we know that are flooding

39:46 ↗ related issues that there's a lot of

39:48 ↗ flooding happening here

39:50 ↗ um on the left side that blue line that

39:52 ↗ you see is issaquah creek

39:54 ↗ and that sort of bluish polygon there

39:57 ↗ shows the floodplain so part of the

39:59 ↗ problem is that the isoqua creek itself

40:01 ↗ floods over its banks

40:03 ↗ and um if you actually zoom into the map

40:06 ↗ which i know we can't do here you'll see

40:08 ↗ you see that there's a lot of

40:09 ↗ development within the flood plain so

40:10 ↗ there's a lot of structures that get

40:12 ↗ affected by that flooding

40:15 ↗ the other

40:16 ↗ thing to note on this map so all those

40:18 ↗ hatches and yellow and green

40:20 ↗ there's an old old town sub-area plan so

40:23 ↗ the city is also planning to

40:25 ↗ develop these and so basically encourage

40:27 ↗ development in these areas

40:29 ↗ and you know there was consideration of

40:31 ↗ um allowing additional impervious on

40:34 ↗ some of these parcels

40:36 ↗ and so um there's there's also a thought

40:39 ↗ of because this area just like gary and

40:41 ↗ alan were both mentioning where there's

40:43 ↗ you know there may be some facilities

40:44 ↗ but they were designed to really old

40:46 ↗ standards they're not as effective

40:47 ↗ anymore

40:48 ↗ um and so as this development occurs um

40:51 ↗ the

40:52 ↗ the question was whether you know

40:54 ↗ regional facilities can be built um that

40:56 ↗ will provide flow control and water

40:58 ↗ quality

40:59 ↗ for all of this um newer or this

41:01 ↗ redevelopment happening in this area so

41:03 ↗ that was the other consideration

41:05 ↗ um the other third piece that alan

41:07 ↗ mentioned you know just because

41:08 ↗ stormwater infrastructure is old there

41:10 ↗ are pieces that just don't have any

41:12 ↗ pipes at all or catch basin they don't

41:14 ↗ have convenience infrastructure

41:16 ↗ and so that is also part of the reason

41:18 ↗ why it's really flat and there's just

41:20 ↗ like

41:20 ↗ local bonding that happens on streets

41:23 ↗ um and so because there's all of these

41:25 ↗ problems happening in this area and and

41:27 ↗ there is future development planned uh

41:29 ↗ the idea would be that this study would

41:31 ↗ look at you know look at modeling the

41:33 ↗ hydraulics of the stream um and also

41:36 ↗ modeling and you know seeing how the

41:38 ↗ stormwater infrastructure would interact

41:39 ↗ with the stream so it would be a

41:41 ↗ combination of both of those things

41:43 ↗ and then also seeing whether regional

41:44 ↗ facilities could be cited if they could

41:46 ↗ be considerations like alan which was

41:48 ↗ mentioning groundwater um

41:51 ↗ is is another one um but there'd just be

41:53 ↗ a lot of pieces to study um to be able

41:56 ↗ to come up with and it wouldn't be one

41:58 ↗ solution it would probably just to come

42:00 ↗ up with something comprehensive it would

42:01 ↗ need to be multiple smaller solutions in

42:03 ↗ this area

42:04 ↗ and so the study would basically look at

42:06 ↗ that um

42:08 ↗ and i think um it this study the thought

42:10 ↗ was that it would get coordinated with

42:12 ↗ king counties

42:13 ↗ they're studying issaquah creek and the

42:15 ↗ floodplain associated with the creek so

42:18 ↗ it would get coordinated with that

42:20 ↗ effort

42:21 ↗ and the effort that they're doing for

42:23 ↗ their channel migration study and i

42:25 ↗ think cis

42:27 ↗ allen you probably know what cis stands

42:29 ↗ for um but maybe you could talk to that

42:32 ↗ um

42:33 ↗ so i think that that's a great setup

42:34 ↗ yeah i just wanna so thank you for that

42:36 ↗ overview of this and i think i i'm

42:39 ↗ excited about this uh and i'll get it to

42:41 ↗ see us in a second but the

42:43 ↗ partnership which again we showed as a

42:44 ↗ metric this is huge right because cis is

42:48 ↗ a capital investment strategy

42:50 ↗ uh which i believe uh the king county uh

42:54 ↗ flood control district has about 800 000

42:57 ↗ set aside for issaquah

43:00 ↗ in

43:01 ↗ five and six i i will come back to you

43:03 ↗ and next to give you that access at that

43:05 ↗ date right that's that's kind of conduct

43:06 ↗ there actually um

43:09 ↗ studies to come up with potential

43:10 ↗ projects

43:11 ↗ currently this year they are doing a

43:13 ↗ flood uh plate study and next year

43:16 ↗ channel migration study so all of this

43:18 ↗ on there

43:19 ↗ within the flood control district

43:21 ↗ funding so really this this project that

43:23 ↗ we're highlighting here we're going to

43:26 ↗ propose with dallas in our cip to

43:28 ↗ partner with that so this really would

43:30 ↗ be a

43:33 ↗ county city partnership over the next

43:36 ↗ few years to look at you know very um

43:40 ↗ start with regional solutions that can

43:42 ↗ really get at reducing deep flows from

43:44 ↗ hearing these larger events

43:46 ↗ that is really the serious issue as all

43:48 ↗ of you know with the flooding and we and

43:51 ↗ the county is on board at least at this

43:52 ↗ point to looking at potentially site you

43:55 ↗ know looking at identifying and citing

43:57 ↗ the project in the county so we can pull

44:00 ↗ our resources there of course it could

44:01 ↗ be in the city as well but i think we're

44:04 ↗ both on the same page with the county

44:06 ↗ and the city is

44:07 ↗ let's let's where can we get you know

44:10 ↗ nancy used the biggest bank card here

44:12 ↗ where can we reduce peak flows as a

44:15 ↗ coordinate as coordinated agencies first

44:17 ↗ let's let's forget about it about the

44:19 ↗ jurisdictional boundary what makes most

44:22 ↗ sense and can we do that in a way that

44:24 ↗ also benefits habitat could it be an

44:26 ↗ off-stream type of story so so that's

44:28 ↗ where we're kind of headed with this and

44:30 ↗ it will be a multi-multi-year project

44:32 ↗ but a week at least

44:33 ↗ get started over the next couple years

44:35 ↗ working in concert with them i think

44:37 ↗ that's great working with the other

44:38 ↗ agencies and you had a question

44:40 ↗ yeah um i think that's one of my

44:42 ↗ questions gary do you give a definition

44:44 ↗ of what does cis actually say what's

44:45 ↗ your capital investment strategy

44:47 ↗ strategy and that were some of the

44:48 ↗ examples you're giving at the end you

44:50 ↗ know i guess i'm a little curious what

44:52 ↗ feasibility of region are sorry regional

44:54 ↗ facilities for development are i guess i

44:56 ↗ don't know what that means i'm curious

44:58 ↗ to give examples or explain that a

44:59 ↗ little bit more sure i can just think

45:01 ↗ about you know a couple just off-handed

45:03 ↗ allen can probably think of a few but

45:05 ↗ there's you know gray of course gray and

45:07 ↗ green in infrastructure right so i was

45:09 ↗ thinking of the the classic one would be

45:11 ↗ some type of um we've done this a little

45:14 ↗ bit

45:15 ↗ like that right

45:17 ↗ off channel storage right where you have

45:19 ↗ off channel storage and potentially

45:20 ↗ restoration you know

45:22 ↗ that you're going to have to peek flows

45:24 ↗ um during adventure for two months

45:27 ↗ so there would be some type of

45:29 ↗ something like that could be grey

45:31 ↗ infrastructure it could be some type of

45:33 ↗ uh i mean redmond has done this

45:36 ↗ quite a bit with their infiltration

45:39 ↗ galleries where collectors repeat flows

45:41 ↗ and then infiltrate so so it that that's

45:43 ↗ kind of what this would

45:45 ↗ get at is what are those possibilities

45:47 ↗ so the locations and then the type but

45:49 ↗ we're we're open to any tools okay any

45:52 ↗ tools and i'm sure chile has ideas of

45:55 ↗ this but i think something we looked at

45:56 ↗ is utilizing some existing park lands

45:59 ↗ and and where we could

46:01 ↗ use energies with parks and stormwater

46:04 ↗ doing joint facilities

46:06 ↗ where it could be in fact as a function

46:07 ↗ of the park but also function as office

46:09 ↗ channel storage

46:11 ↗ in fact we're looking at that with parks

46:12 ↗ master plan at the tip it's tip

46:15 ↗ apart the trivets

46:18 ↗ here

46:18 ↗ and because they're going to be looking

46:20 ↗ at redoing this whole master plan for

46:22 ↗ the park and we're working with

46:24 ↗ stormwater and this master plan to see

46:27 ↗ um you know what how we can

46:29 ↗ you know

46:30 ↗ site off channel type facilities that

46:33 ↗ would attenuate flows and so forth so

46:35 ↗ that's the idea it might involve land

46:37 ↗ purchases so that's part of this is

46:39 ↗ identifying parcels to purchase uh to do

46:43 ↗ these joints it could be a joint park

46:45 ↗ storm water you know flow control as

46:47 ↗ well as habitat i mean

46:49 ↗ so many things you can we can do here so

46:51 ↗ um

46:52 ↗ so yes and the other important thing to

46:54 ↗ note

46:55 ↗ you know this is

46:56 ↗ the modeling effort's huge right so the

46:58 ↗ county is going to really pay for that

47:00 ↗ effort to do all the hydraulic modeling

47:03 ↗ hydrologic update hydraulic hydrology

47:05 ↗ we're going to look at climate change

47:07 ↗ scoped in there with their consultant to

47:10 ↗ look at climate change precipitation

47:13 ↗ future float you know future persistence

47:15 ↗ precipitation how that will affect

47:17 ↗ you know the flip the model flows so

47:19 ↗ it's a huge effort and the counties you

47:21 ↗ know it's great that

47:22 ↗ the timing could be better for the

47:24 ↗ county obviously and the other thing the

47:26 ↗ final note is that the county does own

47:28 ↗ several

47:29 ↗ um

47:30 ↗ stable bank stabilization facilities in

47:33 ↗ issaquah and that in these facilities

47:36 ↗ that were put in years and years ago to

47:38 ↗ stabilize the bank mostly rock is what

47:40 ↗ it really consists of so they they want

47:42 ↗ to look at those facilities as part of

47:43 ↗ this effort and see where they you know

47:45 ↗ where they need to maybe modify them and

47:47 ↗ change them and put in more fish

47:49 ↗ friendly facilities

47:52 ↗ yeah there's a lot a lot there that i've

47:53 ↗ had

47:55 ↗ so

47:56 ↗ the answer is your question is yeah yes

47:58 ↗ sir

47:59 ↗ and do you have a question

48:00 ↗ yeah

48:01 ↗ um you mentioned

48:03 ↗ that collecting the water and then

48:05 ↗ releasing it later

48:07 ↗ could you could they be

48:09 ↗ could be collected into cisterns so you

48:11 ↗ could release it like later in the

48:13 ↗ summer when things need to be watered

48:18 ↗ um yeah so uh yeah i can speak from

48:21 ↗ experience on uh a basin in seattle

48:24 ↗ thornton creek a very large basement we

48:26 ↗ did this is updating myself a little bit

48:29 ↗ about 10 years ago

48:30 ↗ did look at that but that is that is

48:32 ↗ challenging to do to kind of to get the

48:34 ↗ the right of the the volume needed for

48:36 ↗ individual cisterns is it's it's it's

48:38 ↗ fairly large for a significant peak flow

48:41 ↗ like this so that that's something you

48:42 ↗ could look at this but it just

48:44 ↗ you have that what i would call an

48:46 ↗ operational issue with that to make sure

48:48 ↗ that that all the individual cisterns

48:51 ↗ no matter how large they are being

48:53 ↗ operated in the correct way like you're

48:54 ↗ saying so that

48:56 ↗ in the winter it's right they have to be

48:57 ↗ able to hold that back so that's

48:58 ↗ definitely a classic distributed system

49:01 ↗ but it's it's typically harder to make

49:04 ↗ that actually happen

49:05 ↗ when the rate's that heavy

49:07 ↗ and can ponds be used for that um

49:11 ↗ without worrying about mosquitoes

49:15 ↗ well we have we have ponds now yeah and

49:18 ↗ it is that's always an issue with

49:21 ↗ what they call like ponds which are

49:22 ↗ ponds that are designed to drain all the

49:24 ↗ way out they have

49:25 ↗ water sitting in all the time that's how

49:27 ↗ they work um in terms of water quality

49:29 ↗ and the water quality function of the

49:31 ↗ pond

49:32 ↗ um

49:32 ↗ yeah mosquitoes are always an issue but

49:35 ↗ the good news and i can speak to to that

49:37 ↗ because i when i worked with city renton

49:39 ↗ i was a west nile bio virus coordinator

49:41 ↗ and so part of what we did was to go out

49:44 ↗ and and treat our stormwater ponds

49:46 ↗ with waterside but the good news is it's

49:49 ↗ not an issue in this part of the country

49:50 ↗ in the northwest we don't really have

49:52 ↗ west nile virus we don't have it it

49:54 ↗ doesn't for some reason doesn't like

49:55 ↗ this area

49:56 ↗ the

49:57 ↗ mosquitoes that we have don't it's not

49:59 ↗ an issue here fortunately but there are

50:01 ↗ ways to treat the ponds if you think i

50:04 ↗ don't get all the details but yes it's

50:05 ↗ something to be aware of but

50:08 ↗ um

50:08 ↗ it's generally not an issue for here so

50:17 ↗ you know i'm not positive but i think

50:19 ↗ that the highlight of the super

50:20 ↗ highlands there are pond there's ponds

50:22 ↗ up there which the city maintains but i

50:24 ↗ think there's an agreement with the

50:25 ↗ homework associations up at the

50:27 ↗ highlands to use those costs

50:30 ↗ that's great

50:32 ↗ um thanks to my hopes just to speak up

50:34 ↗ to make sure that folks that are joining

50:35 ↗ remotely can hear and these are our

50:37 ↗ microphones so

50:42 ↗ well i guess it's kind of a question and

50:44 ↗ a comment so i would encourage you to

50:46 ↗ look at up for storage and recovery as

50:49 ↗ you're looking at these off-site storage

50:51 ↗ things the reason i'd say that is um

50:54 ↗ there's funding at ecology right now for

50:55 ↗ much of that work

50:57 ↗ and if you take that and you take your

50:59 ↗ wintertime water and you can inject it

51:01 ↗ back into where we're getting our

51:04 ↗ potable drinking water or in those areas

51:06 ↗ so we're still maintaining stream flows

51:08 ↗ there's opportunity to get greater water

51:10 ↗ rights for your drinking water system so

51:12 ↗ you have two utilities that are

51:14 ↗ benefiting this from the city so if

51:16 ↗ you're really looking at that kind of

51:18 ↗ system i'd really encourage you to think

51:20 ↗ outside the box and go into

51:22 ↗ looking at that i know two jurisdictions

51:24 ↗ right now that are getting funding from

51:26 ↗ apology to do that type of work so i

51:28 ↗ just encourage you to try and think

51:31 ↗ about uh if you're doing off-site

51:32 ↗ storage or something like that seeing if

51:34 ↗ you can potentially get into some kind

51:35 ↗ of piloting of injecting it and getting

51:39 ↗ greater water out for groundwater

51:41 ↗ right i think actually stacey could

51:42 ↗ maybe speak to this

51:44 ↗ psychology but

51:46 ↗ and the city was had to participate in

51:48 ↗ what they called in-stream flow

51:49 ↗ psychology's requirement where these

51:51 ↗ beaters accept their

51:53 ↗ wells the things that wells not in the

51:55 ↗ rural areas

51:57 ↗ but basically ecology was encouraging

52:01 ↗ to maintain history flows you know that

52:04 ↗ you come up with projects that will do

52:06 ↗ exactly what you're saying

52:07 ↗ and you're right there are there are

52:09 ↗ grants out there to um for those type of

52:11 ↗ projects

52:12 ↗ and so that's something we did look at

52:14 ↗ when that that whole that requirement

52:16 ↗ sort of well complicated but it went by

52:19 ↗ it basically never got completed and

52:21 ↗ ecology's not taking over

52:23 ↗ that whole process

52:25 ↗ but um so that's we can look at that and

52:27 ↗ i think some of these off-channel

52:28 ↗ projects that where you can have off

52:31 ↗ channel storage and allow the water to

52:33 ↗ infiltrate and recharge the groundwater

52:36 ↗ is beneficial for in-stream flows like

52:39 ↗ you said but the problem is is that

52:41 ↗ we're so far downstream in the system

52:43 ↗ that it's not

52:44 ↗ it's not as

52:46 ↗ is effective and unless

52:48 ↗ as opposed to being further up in the

52:49 ↗ watershed um that makes sense i would

52:52 ↗ push back on that comment on you just as

52:54 ↗ a comment and i would say that you if

52:56 ↗ you look at it

52:58 ↗ you know our well fields you're pretty

52:59 ↗ much down in the valley the city's

53:00 ↗ drinking water well fields so if you're

53:03 ↗ trying to put more water in there so you

53:05 ↗ can pump it out later it's not just for

53:07 ↗ in-stream clothes but also so you can

53:10 ↗ um continue to take water because your

53:12 ↗ groundwater walls you're growing down

53:13 ↗ your groundwater systems i i just think

53:16 ↗ there's an opportunity here that's

53:17 ↗ bigger than what you're talking about

53:19 ↗ here that's just my comment

53:20 ↗ okay we'll definitely put it as if we'll

53:22 ↗ consider that i think what ellen and i

53:24 ↗ can commit to again this this one i

53:26 ↗ think is i would dare say that the

53:28 ↗ largest project that we have here

53:31 ↗ on this list is that we would be coming

53:33 ↗ back to you

53:35 ↗ at a very early concept stage with uh

53:38 ↗ probably with the county as well so this

53:40 ↗ is something and so i think you know

53:42 ↗ particularly in this year but uh have

53:45 ↗ your your kind of solutions about you

53:47 ↗ know ponds cisterns i think you know

53:49 ↗ that's something we

53:50 ↗ we will kind of commit to saying we're

53:52 ↗ going to look at a full toolbox here and

53:54 ↗ we have to right we have to look at a

53:56 ↗ full toolbox here

53:57 ↗ um in coordination with the county and

53:59 ↗ kind of come back and we'll be back

54:00 ↗ early to the board on that with this

54:02 ↗ what this goes through because this will

54:03 ↗ be you know just a multi-year uh uh

54:07 ↗ this

54:09 ↗ this is a huge multi-year effort

54:10 ↗ multi-coordination so

54:12 ↗ committing to start off early having a

54:14 ↗ wide

54:15 ↗ right scope and then coming back coming

54:17 ↗ back again

54:20 ↗ so thank you guys

54:21 ↗ good comments very good thank you

54:25 ↗ all right moving on number two sp 28 29

54:30 ↗ avenue

54:31 ↗ southeast water volume improvement

54:33 ↗ project so this one is located in the

54:35 ↗ esquad basin so over by

54:38 ↗ um

54:40 ↗ so the i-90

54:42 ↗ interchange there

54:43 ↗ just north on

54:47 ↗ the east lake it's a match parkway so

54:48 ↗ this is the

54:50 ↗ gravel pit gravel plant

54:53 ↗ that road

54:54 ↗ um and so this area is probably

54:56 ↗ problematic where there's a growl area

54:59 ↗ that

55:00 ↗ when in heavy rains it mobilizes

55:02 ↗ sediment and it um

55:06 ↗ the heavy flows you know the velocities

55:08 ↗ erode the gravel and the sand and it

55:11 ↗ ends up into

55:12 ↗ entering the north fork of the sequat

55:14 ↗ creek

55:15 ↗ so you can just plume the sediment that

55:17 ↗ comes in the creek during

55:19 ↗ you know various storm events i'm not

55:21 ↗ sure what storm event but you know

55:23 ↗ fairly frequently

55:25 ↗ and so this really is a project that we

55:27 ↗ decided that we needed you know

55:29 ↗ high visibility in some ways and we

55:30 ↗ wanted to

55:32 ↗ try to reduce that sediment load into

55:34 ↗ the north fork

55:36 ↗ um

55:37 ↗ and also there's other issues with you

55:39 ↗ know the

55:41 ↗ travel

55:42 ↗ kit itself um this has been violations

55:45 ↗ of the industrial permit um similar to

55:48 ↗ our nvds industrial permit but they have

55:51 ↗ to manage their their runoff and there's

55:53 ↗ some violations there and so

55:56 ↗ we thought this would be a good project

55:57 ↗ to really try to do some treatment

56:00 ↗ because the north fork does you know

56:02 ↗ enter is a tributary to the creek

56:05 ↗ and it's important to treat that runoff

56:07 ↗ um

56:08 ↗ so it goes to the top and one of the

56:10 ↗ higher

56:11 ↗ uh prioritized projects so you're not

56:14 ↗ tristan if you want to add anything

56:16 ↗ on this

56:18 ↗ alan no i i think you covered it pretty

56:20 ↗ well it's it's a water quality

56:22 ↗ improvement project and a drainage

56:24 ↗ improvement project for uh 229th avenue

56:28 ↗ southeast

56:30 ↗ yeah just quickly add that watchdog

56:33 ↗ several years back now was in 2016 i

56:35 ↗ think did a culvert project

56:37 ↗ um

56:38 ↗ they actually realigned part of the

56:40 ↗ north fork

56:42 ↗ and put it to the culverts there to

56:44 ↗ across e6 parkway so

56:48 ↗ anyhow that maybe they've made a fish

56:50 ↗ passable they'll beat the ability

56:52 ↗ yeah

56:54 ↗ that gravel area you refer to that's

56:56 ↗ basically property

57:10 ↗ effort

57:20 ↗ more about that

57:22 ↗ we would need to investigate

57:24 ↗ whether a facility could be sighted

57:27 ↗ in or near that gravel but even if we

57:30 ↗ just um provide better drainage down

57:33 ↗ 229th avenue

57:35 ↗ southeast which is very steep street

57:37 ↗ uh it doesn't have drainage

57:39 ↗ infrastructure on that side of the road

57:41 ↗ and

57:42 ↗ runoff sheet flows onto that gravel area

57:45 ↗ so even if we just provide a collection

57:47 ↗ and conveyance system we'll have less

57:50 ↗ a muddy runoff onto

57:53 ↗ 6th 66th i'm sorry

57:56 ↗ because there won't be any run on into

57:58 ↗ the gravel so we'll have less run off

58:01 ↗ onto the

58:02 ↗ street likely

58:04 ↗ but we'll investigate also a water

58:07 ↗ quality facility

58:09 ↗ interesting

58:10 ↗ are you going to say something shaylee

58:12 ↗ oh i was just going to say is that this

58:13 ↗ also talks to i think um uh

58:16 ↗ when we were talking about 6ppd quinoa

58:19 ↗ like when we look at water quality that

58:20 ↗ this is like a street that has a lot of

58:22 ↗ trucks so

58:24 ↗ we would look at you know um trying to

58:26 ↗ use the bmps that might address that so

58:29 ↗ that that is something that we would you

58:31 ↗ know try to put in

58:32 ↗ so that um you know because of the dire

58:35 ↗ um runoff as well as metals from the

58:38 ↗ trucks and oil and grease so we'd be

58:39 ↗ looking at all of those pollutants um of

58:42 ↗ concern um in order to figure out which

58:44 ↗ facility or what type should put in

58:54 ↗ [Music]

58:59 ↗ dealership there

59:00 ↗ [Music]

59:01 ↗ obviously they've been abandoned i'm

59:03 ↗ assuming since we've still got the

59:06 ↗ um old there

59:08 ↗ right right right you know i don't have

59:10 ↗ the update on that it's it's really the

59:13 ↗ permitting department you know where

59:14 ↗ that stands

59:16 ↗ it wasn't you know there had there was a

59:18 ↗ flood plain we had a flip plane map

59:20 ↗ update there that was never done and so

59:22 ↗ that was recently completed um to

59:26 ↗ a letter map revision basically

59:28 ↗ um

59:29 ↗ which which should have been done by

59:30 ↗ washdot you know post project you should

59:33 ↗ do a map right mapping post project it's

59:36 ↗ called willmar

59:38 ↗ and they did not do that so we ended up

59:40 ↗ doing that um

59:42 ↗ but yeah i don't know the status of the

59:43 ↗ uh

59:44 ↗ dealership

59:57 ↗ i mean they're doing their own treatment

59:58 ↗ on site of course for their impervious

1:00:00 ↗ parking and so forth but

1:00:02 ↗ um but this does i think that's a i

1:00:04 ↗ think it's a good comment because some

1:00:05 ↗ of the other comments that all three of

1:00:07 ↗ you made this is definitely one of those

1:00:09 ↗ partnership

1:00:10 ↗ projects where we will need to talk to

1:00:12 ↗ the stakeholders whether they're

1:00:14 ↗ whether they're part of the solution

1:00:19 ↗ [Applause]

1:00:23 ↗ i don't think it's a good point because

1:00:24 ↗ i'm not sure what

1:00:26 ↗ the plan is for southeast 60

1:00:30 ↗ 66 if there's if they're going to prove

1:00:32 ↗ that roadway they're required to do

1:00:33 ↗ their improvements along there

1:00:36 ↗ if they are then that would be obviously

1:00:38 ↗ yeah we would want to coordinate with

1:00:40 ↗ them

1:00:46 ↗ okay

1:00:46 ↗ and we have a question from dan as well

1:00:48 ↗ i i think it's most of an answer that's

1:00:50 ↗ why i just want to clarify something

1:00:51 ↗ like there's multiple owners of that

1:00:53 ↗ gravel op

1:01:02 ↗ you know but

1:01:03 ↗ um and it turned out that it was a

1:01:05 ↗ little more complicated than i thought

1:01:07 ↗ um in terms of it's not so much whether

1:01:09 ↗ land ownership but really there's some

1:01:10 ↗ utilities okay if we wanted to sort of

1:01:13 ↗ put in some conveys piping to take it to

1:01:15 ↗ the other

1:01:16 ↗ um

1:01:17 ↗ the other direction because right now it

1:01:19 ↗ goes into the north fork because of our

1:01:20 ↗ crew right and we were thinking of

1:01:21 ↗ taking it to the other

1:01:23 ↗ other

1:01:24 ↗ direction but then the problem with that

1:01:26 ↗ is you're separating the bases you're

1:01:27 ↗ taking water that was in one base

1:01:29 ↗ without the basin and that violates

1:01:32 ↗ you know depending how far they

1:01:33 ↗ recombine again that's not that's not a

1:01:35 ↗ good thing so i was just curious if

1:01:37 ↗ there's feasibility of you you mentioned

1:01:38 ↗ resurfacing this is the

1:01:40 ↗ slide here of actually paving it i don't

1:01:42 ↗ go by there much but i feel like when i

1:01:44 ↗ do you don't see

1:01:45 ↗ that parking lot i'm just curious if

1:01:46 ↗ there's you know for me that would make

1:01:48 ↗ even more sense you know i don't know if

1:01:49 ↗ that would be more cost efficient or

1:01:51 ↗ long-term benefits yeah you know the

1:01:53 ↗ conveyance system but i'm just curious

1:01:55 ↗ if that would be something

1:01:56 ↗ to explore um

1:01:58 ↗ in terms of actually just be paving that

1:02:00 ↗ section there but

1:02:01 ↗ right

1:02:03 ↗ thank you no i think dan i think that's

1:02:05 ↗ a great point too of you know these are

1:02:07 ↗ early you know the the concept phases i

1:02:10 ↗ think

1:02:12 ↗ looking at

1:02:13 ↗ um

1:02:14 ↗ you know yes we're looking kind of we're

1:02:17 ↗ talking about capital solutions but can

1:02:19 ↗ also be as we're going through these

1:02:20 ↗ things about well is there something

1:02:22 ↗ operationally or or repair or rehab-wise

1:02:25 ↗ that we could do that instead of a

1:02:26 ↗ capital project so i think that's right

1:02:28 ↗ you're going to see that with all these

1:02:29 ↗ projects as well too this is

1:02:31 ↗ you know from the

1:02:33 ↗ preliminary ranking these look like the

1:02:35 ↗ the best ones for a capital project but

1:02:37 ↗ there may be offshoots because of what

1:02:38 ↗ we find out right well i think you know

1:02:40 ↗ my bias is very habitat so you know

1:02:43 ↗ that's the actual buffer of the north

1:02:44 ↗ forward right there in that parking lot

1:02:46 ↗ so i can see some multi benefits there

1:02:47 ↗ too

1:02:48 ↗ great thank you thank you

1:02:50 ↗ put it back to work

1:02:53 ↗ that's my

1:02:55 ↗ solution for a lot of things

1:02:57 ↗ yeah yeah

1:02:58 ↗ all right next project

1:03:00 ↗ my

1:03:06 ↗ so this really came out of some of the

1:03:08 ↗ comments or issues that our maintenance

1:03:10 ↗ department

1:03:11 ↗ operations had identified

1:03:14 ↗ and this really is uh

1:03:15 ↗ um i think it's a good project because

1:03:17 ↗ it really is a lot of

1:03:19 ↗ targets a lot of different benefits

1:03:21 ↗ essentially what happens is water high

1:03:22 ↗ velocity closed during storm events come

1:03:24 ↗ down my hill creek which is this

1:03:27 ↗ creek right here

1:03:29 ↗ and

1:03:30 ↗ right before it there's a covert that

1:03:33 ↗ crosses a wildwood boulevard

1:03:36 ↗ um so right before that culvert and

1:03:38 ↗ inlet side of the cover there's a big

1:03:40 ↗ trash rack

1:03:42 ↗ and it kind of create like a

1:03:43 ↗ segmentation

1:03:45 ↗ uh basin of sorts where the water comes

1:03:47 ↗ down and it it

1:03:49 ↗ moves gravel which is a natural process

1:03:51 ↗ from the hillsides it's mass wasting

1:03:53 ↗ moves it down which you know you do want

1:03:55 ↗ gravel recruiting that's how you get

1:03:57 ↗ gravel into the streams that help

1:03:58 ↗ percentage fish responding

1:04:01 ↗ um

1:04:02 ↗ and so but the problem is that gravel

1:04:03 ↗ piles up there

1:04:05 ↗ and then it if it's not maintaining a

1:04:06 ↗ regular basis

1:04:08 ↗ you know bigger storms it just will

1:04:10 ↗ flood basically flood the roadway while

1:04:12 ↗ with boulevard southwest

1:04:15 ↗ and so a couple so by doing the project

1:04:17 ↗ we're proposing is really looking at

1:04:18 ↗ putting in a

1:04:20 ↗ bigger covert more likely a uh

1:04:23 ↗ a box cover if just passable and this is

1:04:26 ↗ also i believe just to identify it as a

1:04:28 ↗ fish passage

1:04:29 ↗ issue is that right

1:04:32 ↗ yes it is

1:04:33 ↗ okay so so yeah so in terms of the

1:04:36 ↗ issues we looked at also the the

1:04:37 ↗ database from wfw that has all the

1:04:40 ↗ identified fish passes you know issues

1:04:43 ↗ within the city of support and this is

1:04:44 ↗ one of them

1:04:46 ↗ um so basically put in a box culvert

1:04:48 ↗ that would make the fish passable and

1:04:50 ↗ then daylight everything else downstream

1:04:52 ↗ of there down to essop creek the stretch

1:04:54 ↗ that's in the park behind the park so

1:04:56 ↗ that could be maybe daylighted and so

1:04:58 ↗ that will provide some fish

1:05:01 ↗ habitat shin habitat

1:05:03 ↗ a fish passable fox culvert

1:05:06 ↗ um they allow the gravels to move

1:05:08 ↗ through um naturally and then of course

1:05:10 ↗ eliminate a maintenance headache

1:05:13 ↗ and save some money because because like

1:05:15 ↗ i said the city makes sense about their

1:05:17 ↗ periodic things and with that gravel so

1:05:30 ↗ next project sp 172

1:05:32 ↗ over capacity increase in front street

1:05:34 ↗ crossing the lewis lane temperature

1:05:39 ↗ so this project uh i don't trust it you

1:05:42 ↗ want to take this one on i think i'll

1:05:44 ↗ just kind of go over it but essentially

1:05:46 ↗ this is one that came up pretty

1:05:48 ↗ frequently there are a lot of hits on

1:05:50 ↗ issues here

1:05:51 ↗ that we identified for the

1:05:52 ↗ disappointment assessment that we've

1:05:54 ↗ done and all the output outreach and the

1:05:57 ↗ public comment where we had the map the

1:06:00 ↗ um

1:06:01 ↗ web map where people could

1:06:03 ↗ put pins and just discuss issues and

1:06:06 ↗ this this area really along um sixth

1:06:09 ↗ avenue southeast

1:06:11 ↗ there's a lot of

1:06:13 ↗ concerns of flooding along here

1:06:15 ↗ and

1:06:16 ↗ it's combination of some undersized

1:06:18 ↗ pipes there's also culvert crossing

1:06:21 ↗ or so this is lewis lane tributary up

1:06:24 ↗ here and then there's a trip to that

1:06:26 ↗ which is this one right here and it

1:06:27 ↗ crosses over across 36th avenue

1:06:29 ↗ southeast

1:06:31 ↗ and that culvert's undersized um

1:06:34 ↗ so the thought was here because it

1:06:36 ↗ seemed to be a

1:06:38 ↗ fair amount of public uh comment on this

1:06:41 ↗ that he would

1:06:42 ↗ look at investigating doing some type of

1:06:44 ↗ improvement along here whether it's

1:06:46 ↗ emphasizing the conveyance systems

1:06:49 ↗ putting into culver crossing here

1:06:51 ↗ um

1:06:53 ↗ to that effect so um

1:06:56 ↗ i don't know trista anyone else makes

1:06:58 ↗ tla

1:07:04 ↗ i think you've mostly covered it ellen

1:07:06 ↗ there's there's a lot of flooding

1:07:08 ↗ complaints in the area and

1:07:11 ↗ um the the project is really

1:07:13 ↗ investigating the drainage system and

1:07:15 ↗ coming up with a solution to

1:07:18 ↗ manage or avoid

1:07:20 ↗ not local flooding

1:07:23 ↗ okay

1:07:25 ↗ we need to do some investigation to to

1:07:27 ↗ figure out which um exact elements of

1:07:30 ↗ the

1:07:31 ↗ of the of the system

1:07:33 ↗ need to change but

1:07:35 ↗ that's really what it's intended to

1:07:36 ↗ solve

1:07:37 ↗ okay thank you so let me add one thing

1:07:39 ↗ here back to

1:07:40 ↗ something nancy said very early on is

1:07:42 ↗ that as we go through

1:07:44 ↗ these um

1:07:47 ↗ all these projects to the concept level

1:07:50 ↗ we'll be

1:07:52 ↗ better documenting

1:07:54 ↗ the cost of the project but also the

1:07:57 ↗ benefits as well right

1:07:59 ↗ so that is what you know this is why

1:08:01 ↗ it's great to have this playbook of of

1:08:04 ↗ all these projects that we

1:08:06 ↗ can't get to right away if we do find

1:08:08 ↗ that something

1:08:09 ↗ uh just is not looking right in terms of

1:08:12 ↗ cost benefit

1:08:13 ↗ uh you know that that's what we may have

1:08:15 ↗ it offering but we meet again i think

1:08:17 ↗ that's something we come back to you and

1:08:18 ↗ council

1:08:19 ↗ uh before before stopping it we would

1:08:22 ↗ say hey uh you know we're at 30 design

1:08:25 ↗ this is really really good

1:08:27 ↗ at the beginning now that we've dug into

1:08:29 ↗ it more

1:08:31 ↗ the cost benefit

1:08:32 ↗ even with the externalities of social

1:08:34 ↗ benefits of our developments might not

1:08:36 ↗ look good so i think uh you know that's

1:08:38 ↗ that's what we want to commit commit to

1:08:40 ↗ you as well is we're not just gonna

1:08:42 ↗ uh go go blind you know blinders out

1:08:45 ↗ with these projects we're gonna each

1:08:47 ↗ step we're gonna look at this and again

1:08:49 ↗ if something doesn't pan out we want to

1:08:51 ↗ come back to you and tell you why and

1:08:53 ↗ maybe we should put this on hold or you

1:08:55 ↗ know

1:08:56 ↗ or you know again something nancy said

1:08:58 ↗ to maybe maybe it's better for a later

1:08:59 ↗ time in combination with another project

1:09:04 ↗ that context

1:09:19 ↗ cove um

1:09:20 ↗ you have that

1:09:22 ↗ all right so

1:09:24 ↗ this project is over near the state park

1:09:26 ↗ um this is a portion of

1:09:30 ↗ snyder creek

1:09:32 ↗ um

1:09:32 ↗ the downs the portion downstream of i-90

1:09:35 ↗ uh so a couple things going on with this

1:09:37 ↗ project

1:09:38 ↗ um this was really i think one where we

1:09:41 ↗ felt we could

1:09:43 ↗ we could combine it or work with washed

1:09:45 ↗ on in terms of what they're doing

1:09:47 ↗ because they're they're

1:09:49 ↗ right now they have plans to

1:09:51 ↗ do several colder crossing replacements

1:09:53 ↗ or

1:09:54 ↗ replacement projects on i-90 to satisfy

1:09:56 ↗ the requirement to

1:09:58 ↗ you know meet the

1:10:00 ↗ mandate that they have to replace all

1:10:02 ↗ these culvers within a 10-year time

1:10:03 ↗ frame um

1:10:05 ↗ that are fish issues not they're not

1:10:08 ↗ fish possible

1:10:09 ↗ and so this is one of them uh

1:10:11 ↗ so basically the snyder creek is a

1:10:14 ↗ non-fish passable

1:10:16 ↗ culvert so they need to go in there and

1:10:17 ↗ replace this culvert

1:10:19 ↗ and we thought that well this would be a

1:10:21 ↗ good time to

1:10:22 ↗ look at doing some channel improvements

1:10:24 ↗ so this is really looking at so we try

1:10:26 ↗ to actually picking a mixed bag of water

1:10:28 ↗ quality projects flooding projects and

1:10:30 ↗ habitat projects

1:10:31 ↗ and this is one we thought would be a

1:10:33 ↗ good opportunity to do a stream

1:10:35 ↗ enhancement or habitat project

1:10:38 ↗ downstream by 90.

1:10:41 ↗ still in what we're doing now with

1:10:43 ↗ right now in construction there's the

1:10:44 ↗ city's doing this lower squad creek

1:10:46 ↗ restoration project it's a great project

1:10:48 ↗ there near costco where we're

1:10:51 ↗ restoring you know we're putting in side

1:10:53 ↗ channels back water channels and

1:10:55 ↗ putting in large wooded debris and that

1:10:57 ↗ would be completed at the end of this

1:10:59 ↗ year so i'll

1:11:00 ↗ be more about that just

1:11:02 ↗ going to go out and look at it but

1:11:03 ↗ anyhow this is the kind of thing worth

1:11:05 ↗ talking about here

1:11:06 ↗ um doing some improvements along this

1:11:08 ↗ portion of schneider creek

1:11:11 ↗ you know basically if if washout's going

1:11:13 ↗ to come in with a culvert to

1:11:15 ↗ upsize make it fish passable then it

1:11:16 ↗ only makes sense to then improve

1:11:18 ↗ downstream section

1:11:20 ↗ um for fish so

1:11:24 ↗ so coordination watchdog

1:11:26 ↗ opportunity there to share some new

1:11:29 ↗ design efforts um

1:11:31 ↗ yeah so any questions on that trista

1:11:35 ↗ anything jaylen

1:11:38 ↗ um there

1:11:40 ↗ there's been some uh wetland and

1:11:42 ↗ riparian

1:11:43 ↗ enhancements

1:11:45 ↗ just fyi

1:11:46 ↗ and the um city parks department

1:11:49 ↗ uh downstream in the vicinity of our

1:11:52 ↗ project area has been doing native plant

1:11:55 ↗ plantings for a while i believe they've

1:11:57 ↗ finished that effort

1:11:59 ↗ but

1:12:00 ↗ the

1:12:00 ↗ in-stream enhancement would be

1:12:03 ↗ designed to kind of coordinate or

1:12:05 ↗ complement the more riparian upland uh

1:12:09 ↗ plantings that parks has taken care of

1:12:11 ↗ so this is one where

1:12:13 ↗ we hope by coordinating with both

1:12:15 ↗ washdot and the park the city parks

1:12:17 ↗ efforts that we do really get a lot of

1:12:20 ↗ things for the buck on this type of

1:12:22 ↗ project

1:12:24 ↗ a little bit on there if i may i think

1:12:26 ↗ this one will also i think we've talked

1:12:28 ↗ about be highly competitive in grant uh

1:12:31 ↗ grant opportunities for for a couple of

1:12:34 ↗ reasons well

1:12:35 ↗ primarily well two two reasons one the

1:12:38 ↗ coordination with the watchdog project

1:12:40 ↗ but two other work that has already gone

1:12:42 ↗ on so i think those two

1:12:45 ↗ is the third that it's somewhat limited

1:12:48 ↗ scope and area so i think this is gonna

1:12:50 ↗ this is one that you know really ranked

1:12:52 ↗ high in that that

1:12:53 ↗ you know potential opportunities

1:12:55 ↗ for grants uh grant funding which again

1:12:58 ↗ we're pretty successful at uh here at

1:13:00 ↗ esquad uh but this is

1:13:09 ↗ what's on the upstream side of what's on

1:13:11 ↗ the other side of the freeway where is

1:13:13 ↗ that down at formula or is that

1:13:15 ↗ down through here is it

1:13:24 ↗ [Music]

1:13:29 ↗ okay

1:13:36 ↗ that is all city is this a small part of

1:13:38 ↗ it on private property near the mouth of

1:13:39 ↗ schneider creek or is most of the

1:13:42 ↗ creek wealth and city

1:13:44 ↗ property there in the park it's hard to

1:13:46 ↗ tell this man um you know i'm not

1:13:48 ↗ entirely sure some of them might be like

1:13:50 ↗ the outlet there that they're like maybe

1:13:53 ↗ on private property so there might be

1:13:54 ↗ like a top of the neighborhood

1:13:57 ↗ yeah okay cool yeah good point good

1:14:01 ↗ point

1:14:02 ↗ um so okay

1:14:05 ↗ let's do one next one here

1:14:07 ↗ sp 65 uberridge or convenience

1:14:09 ↗ improvements so

1:14:11 ↗ yeah the problem is you don't really

1:14:13 ↗ have an idea

1:14:14 ↗ about where this is we had that map

1:14:16 ↗ earlier that showed it um all the

1:14:17 ↗ projects but

1:14:19 ↗ it's kind of hard to tell when you zoom

1:14:20 ↗ in with where it is but this is up on

1:14:22 ↗ cougar ridge so

1:14:24 ↗ um it's a snyder creek basin so just

1:14:25 ↗ upstream of the creek we're just looking

1:14:27 ↗ at upstream along the hillside cougar of

1:14:29 ↗ cougar mountain

1:14:31 ↗ off the newport way

1:14:33 ↗ does that give you a sense of what we're

1:14:34 ↗ talking about here

1:14:36 ↗ anyhow it's a

1:14:38 ↗ subdivision where there's a flooding not

1:14:40 ↗ only along uh what within 193rd place

1:14:43 ↗ but also southeast 56th street which has

1:14:46 ↗ occurred in the past

1:14:47 ↗ once again when we get these highest

1:14:49 ↗ velocity storm storms where the

1:14:52 ↗ there's erosion and scouring of you know

1:14:54 ↗ the hillside

1:14:55 ↗ and it deposits

1:14:57 ↗ um

1:14:59 ↗ gravel and sediment just upstream of the

1:15:01 ↗ where it connects so

1:15:03 ↗ the base of the stream connects into the

1:15:05 ↗ system here

1:15:07 ↗ storm system here and then

1:15:09 ↗ the gravel deposits there clogs it's not

1:15:12 ↗ maintained but sufficiently enough it

1:15:14 ↗ you know

1:15:15 ↗ because if we get big enough storm but

1:15:17 ↗ it just overwhelms

1:15:19 ↗ the storage behind that um structure the

1:15:22 ↗ inlet structure with the

1:15:25 ↗ trash rack on it

1:15:26 ↗ um that it will flood and so someone

1:15:29 ↗ another project we i talked about

1:15:30 ↗ earlier

1:15:32 ↗ this would

1:15:33 ↗ essentially

1:15:35 ↗ improve

1:15:36 ↗ that um

1:15:40 ↗ do something to prove that whether it's

1:15:41 ↗ putting in a the problem here is you

1:15:43 ↗ know it's a little bit different because

1:15:45 ↗ there's no cream there's no spark print

1:15:47 ↗ right next to it so

1:15:49 ↗ the problem is that the sediment would

1:15:50 ↗ go into the storm system the

1:15:52 ↗ local storm system which is

1:15:54 ↗ so that would have to involve some type

1:15:56 ↗ of uh

1:15:58 ↗ yeah i guess that's something we have to

1:15:59 ↗ think about how would we do there um

1:16:03 ↗ more likely of sizing made sizing the

1:16:05 ↗ pipes to the collection system

1:16:07 ↗ so that's a little bit tricky tricky one

1:16:09 ↗ i don't trust it do you want to add

1:16:11 ↗ anything to that

1:16:12 ↗ i think there's an issue about access

1:16:14 ↗ for maintenance as well so we'll be

1:16:16 ↗ looking at improving

1:16:18 ↗ maintenance access are ensuring that

1:16:19 ↗ it's easier to maintain

1:16:21 ↗ as well as requiring less frequent

1:16:23 ↗ maintenance um

1:16:25 ↗ this uh partly made it on the

1:16:27 ↗ the priority list because of the

1:16:30 ↗ amount of effort that

1:16:32 ↗ city operations is putting into

1:16:33 ↗ maintaining

1:16:34 ↗ that um

1:16:37 ↗ that structure

1:16:38 ↗ uh needing to

1:16:40 ↗ to

1:16:41 ↗ suck out the sediment so frequently

1:16:45 ↗ and um even not being able to keep up

1:16:47 ↗ with it so that uh at times the

1:16:49 ↗ neighborhood does flood a little bit

1:16:52 ↗ so

1:16:52 ↗ should

1:16:53 ↗ improve the situation for city

1:16:55 ↗ operations and we'll be considering

1:16:57 ↗ maintenance access

1:17:02 ↗ for clarification here this the

1:17:04 ↗ open channel is coming from the left in

1:17:06 ↗ the storm system at that first purple

1:17:08 ↗ square correct

1:17:11 ↗ yeah so likely it would involve maybe

1:17:13 ↗ like tristan said better access and some

1:17:16 ↗ type of a more formal

1:17:19 ↗ structure that you that's still going to

1:17:21 ↗ have to collect the sediment i mean

1:17:22 ↗ there's no getting around that we can't

1:17:24 ↗ pass it through

1:17:25 ↗ otherwise it would go into the it it's

1:17:27 ↗ not like we can pass it through to a

1:17:30 ↗ decree

1:17:31 ↗ so

1:17:32 ↗ um

1:17:33 ↗ so it's going to involve a

1:17:35 ↗ yeah you know it's just a

1:17:37 ↗ maintenance type facility that will have

1:17:39 ↗ to be made you know where they're going

1:17:40 ↗ to come in with trucks factor trucks to

1:17:42 ↗ clean it out

1:17:43 ↗ but just a more efficient system i guess

1:17:46 ↗ as opposed to how it is now which is

1:17:47 ↗ just it just fills up too frequently so

1:17:50 ↗ maybe it involves excavating more you

1:17:52 ↗ know to put in a large type of

1:17:53 ↗ segmentation basin or something like

1:17:55 ↗ that

1:17:56 ↗ um goodness can be blending in when we

1:17:58 ↗ get into looking at the upstream

1:18:00 ↗ resources right what are the sources

1:18:02 ↗ is there something you can use

1:18:05 ↗ the amount of segmentation that's

1:18:07 ↗ occurring or something

1:18:09 ↗ yeah

1:18:10 ↗ like i said it's a natural process

1:18:11 ↗ that's how our creeks get they're

1:18:13 ↗ replenishing their gravel and that's

1:18:15 ↗ we're sort of choking it out with these

1:18:17 ↗ when we built these storm systems but so

1:18:19 ↗ we got to figure out a way to

1:18:20 ↗ um

1:18:21 ↗ trap it and so it doesn't flood and

1:18:23 ↗ remove the material

1:18:25 ↗ more efficiently basically down to

1:18:27 ↗ so

1:18:29 ↗ yeah

1:18:30 ↗ any more comments questions

1:18:33 ↗ when the gravel gets removed then is it

1:18:36 ↗ put into the issaquah creek in an area

1:18:39 ↗ that might need some credible yeah

1:18:41 ↗ there's not there's no requirement for

1:18:42 ↗ that it's not like mitigating anything

1:18:44 ↗ it basically our crews just i think they

1:18:47 ↗ actually get a stockpile and dry it out

1:18:49 ↗ a bit and then they get set off i'm not

1:18:51 ↗ sure where they send it

1:18:53 ↗ exactly we have several of these

1:18:55 ↗ facilities actually one right here

1:18:57 ↗ uh this uh tibbetts banner cementation

1:19:01 ↗ basis which is just right off of this

1:19:02 ↗ creek or this creek right here and in

1:19:04 ↗ fact that's the one

1:19:06 ↗ where we're and it might as well bring

1:19:07 ↗ it up now even though it's on our top 10

1:19:09 ↗ it's maybe it's not our top 10 because

1:19:11 ↗ we're already addressing it so there's a

1:19:13 ↗ study out there

1:19:14 ↗ um

1:19:15 ↗ that we're going to begin that's going

1:19:17 ↗ to look at how we can

1:19:18 ↗ remove that cementation basin and allow

1:19:20 ↗ the gravel to

1:19:23 ↗ migrate through

1:19:24 ↗ and not cause flooding

1:19:26 ↗ um

1:19:27 ↗ we're plenty to gravel downstream

1:19:29 ↗ and we're of course limiting all the

1:19:31 ↗ maintenance costs because right now

1:19:32 ↗ we're spending like 40 000 a year i

1:19:34 ↗ think to maintain this segmentation

1:19:36 ↗ basis move gravel out of it

1:19:38 ↗ requires permitting you know our

1:19:40 ↗ operations permitted every couple of

1:19:42 ↗ years so

1:19:43 ↗ so i've worked with crowd unlimited we

1:19:45 ↗ got a grant from king county to study

1:19:48 ↗ this system correct study this system

1:19:50 ↗ all the way so so this is a good example

1:19:52 ↗ of

1:19:53 ↗ you know like leveraging grant money um

1:19:56 ↗ it's gonna solve the problems to save us

1:19:58 ↗ money in the long run it's gonna help

1:20:00 ↗ eliminate flooding

1:20:02 ↗ and help the fish um

1:20:04 ↗ so

1:20:05 ↗ but it's not in this list because we're

1:20:06 ↗ already addressing because these are

1:20:08 ↗ projects that are not you know we're

1:20:10 ↗ going to incorporate into our cip this

1:20:12 ↗ would already use in our city

1:20:14 ↗ in the future so that's great news thank

1:20:15 ↗ you so much for doing that well i

1:20:17 ↗ actually carry this uh experience a lot

1:20:19 ↗ of that effort to

1:20:21 ↗ get right now

1:20:25 ↗ all right uh sp 43 east lakes managed

1:20:27 ↗ parts of the water quality fit so here's

1:20:29 ↗ the first one that will be a register

1:20:31 ↗ that we're going to talk about part of

1:20:32 ↗ the retrofit project

1:20:34 ↗ um this is on the e6 match parkway

1:20:37 ↗ that we identified as an area that has

1:20:39 ↗ high adt

1:20:41 ↗ and of course we have this

1:20:43 ↗ adt

1:20:44 ↗ that has a average daily uh

1:20:47 ↗ traffic so to count it how much

1:20:50 ↗ how many trips do you does the average

1:20:52 ↗ of the trips rather um and so as i

1:20:55 ↗ figure what the threshold is for high is

1:20:57 ↗ but it basically has a lot of traffic

1:20:59 ↗ yeah on a daily basis generating a lot

1:21:01 ↗ of pollution a lot of tire dust a lot of

1:21:02 ↗ oils and grease

1:21:04 ↗ so this would be a prime candidate to do

1:21:06 ↗ some type of retrofit um as gary

1:21:08 ↗ mentioned earlier with our this gis

1:21:10 ↗ layer we're trying to put together

1:21:12 ↗ you know this would

1:21:13 ↗ this gis layer

1:21:15 ↗ when it's fully built out would

1:21:17 ↗ basically identify areas like this that

1:21:19 ↗ hey you know there's no treatment here

1:21:21 ↗ this road is built in the whenever 70s

1:21:25 ↗ and so back then there's no treatment

1:21:28 ↗ and so um

1:21:29 ↗ and it has high adt so we should

1:21:31 ↗ definitely target this as a it's a

1:21:33 ↗ registered project

1:21:35 ↗ um

1:21:36 ↗ so that's what that's a good example of

1:21:38 ↗ what we're proposing to do

1:21:43 ↗ oh and uh

1:21:45 ↗ yeah and this was included yeah and so

1:21:48 ↗ this project was also so let me just

1:21:50 ↗ back one more thing i want to add in

1:21:52 ↗ addition to the effort we're doing here

1:21:53 ↗ with the stormwater master plan for

1:21:55 ↗ issaquah the city of amish is also

1:21:57 ↗ developing what's called the lapping

1:21:58 ↗ jacobs creek basin plan and the city

1:22:00 ↗ partnered with them to because

1:22:03 ↗ about

1:22:04 ↗ 20

1:22:05 ↗ percent of the watershed at black and

1:22:08 ↗ jacob's creek is invisible even though

1:22:10 ↗ the majority of it is up in the spanish

1:22:13 ↗ plateau it you know the most

1:22:15 ↗ important part in terms of issues is

1:22:17 ↗ actually the support so latin gig of

1:22:20 ↗ creek is uh

1:22:21 ↗ very important for copenhagen

1:22:25 ↗ they use that system for spawning and so

1:22:28 ↗ it's a critical habitat for them

1:22:30 ↗ and so

1:22:31 ↗ um so it's part of lafayette jacob's

1:22:33 ↗ basin plan that samantha's developed

1:22:36 ↗ we basically are going to use their

1:22:38 ↗ information we took their plan that they

1:22:39 ↗ finally finalized and we pulled off peel

1:22:42 ↗ off some of the projects that they came

1:22:43 ↗ up with and so we didn't have to you

1:22:45 ↗ know basically be redundant in our

1:22:47 ↗ efforts and this is one of the one of

1:22:48 ↗ two that that we're going to use that

1:22:51 ↗ they recommended

1:22:53 ↗ so once again we could try to

1:22:54 ↗ collaborate as much as we could with

1:22:55 ↗ them

1:22:57 ↗ to develop this cip

1:23:01 ↗ any questions

1:23:04 ↗ sp230 yes

1:23:06 ↗ is

1:23:08 ↗ is the high school are the schools

1:23:10 ↗ they're being built gonna be um

1:23:13 ↗ a big issue for that

1:23:15 ↗ project uh well they're gonna i mean

1:23:17 ↗ that the high school and elementary

1:23:18 ↗ school but yeah well they're going to

1:23:20 ↗ have to do their own mitigation right

1:23:22 ↗ they're going to provide their own

1:23:23 ↗ treatment for their site in terms of

1:23:25 ↗ water quality detention so it's not

1:23:27 ↗ really so this is only so this is

1:23:29 ↗ actually this is on not even we're going

1:23:31 ↗ to get to that there's another project

1:23:32 ↗ closer to that to the school district

1:23:35 ↗ projects but this is zoe front and it's

1:23:36 ↗ on east valley or e6 match parkway so

1:23:39 ↗ it's not really going to be impacted by

1:23:41 ↗ the school

1:23:42 ↗ by the school

1:23:44 ↗ those two schools however

1:23:46 ↗ this project uh sb230 southeast 43rd way

1:23:50 ↗ road way historic treatment

1:23:53 ↗ water chamber pressure fit that is just

1:23:55 ↗ downstream of those two schools

1:23:58 ↗ but once again

1:24:00 ↗ even though the schools will discharge

1:24:02 ↗ into the system that does end up down

1:24:05 ↗ here they do have to do their own

1:24:06 ↗ treatment so this is strictly treating

1:24:09 ↗ the runoff from um

1:24:11 ↗ uh southeast 43rd

1:24:14 ↗ retrofitting to treat it and the city

1:24:16 ↗ upstream of that just upstream is a

1:24:18 ↗ section of southeast 43rd where

1:24:21 ↗ the city did a single signal project and

1:24:24 ↗ it's an

1:24:24 ↗ intersection improvement project maybe

1:24:26 ↗ two years ago

1:24:28 ↗ and that that project did put in two

1:24:30 ↗ water quality or two detention tanks and

1:24:33 ↗ a monitor wetland on your weapons to

1:24:36 ↗ treat that area

1:24:37 ↗ so this would just kind of help to

1:24:40 ↗ um continue that treatment all the way

1:24:42 ↗ down

1:24:48 ↗ yeah

1:24:49 ↗ sp

1:24:50 ↗ 32 westlakes managed parkway water

1:24:52 ↗ quality retrofit

1:24:55 ↗ so this is the lewis creek

1:24:56 ↗ basin um

1:24:59 ↗ i know so you want to take this one on

1:25:00 ↗ or or maybe uh i guess let me take it

1:25:03 ↗ off i think i'll do this one as well so

1:25:06 ↗ this project is another retrofit project

1:25:08 ↗ so once again a washcloth is going to be

1:25:11 ↗ in the process of designing and they're

1:25:13 ↗ going to replace the little street cover

1:25:16 ↗ with a

1:25:18 ↗ 50 million dollar

1:25:20 ↗ covert a series of four box covers

1:25:22 ↗ across i-90

1:25:24 ↗ so this could be

1:25:25 ↗ working with them trying to coordinate

1:25:27 ↗ with them and part of that work is it

1:25:29 ↗ kind of involves actually modifying west

1:25:31 ↗ lake spanish parkway because

1:25:34 ↗ of the way that

1:25:35 ↗ the creek goes underneath it goes

1:25:37 ↗ underneath i-90 also goes underneath the

1:25:38 ↗ west six members parkway because of the

1:25:40 ↗ great issues in order to get a box cover

1:25:42 ↗ in there they have to raise grade of uh

1:25:45 ↗ west six mountain parkway so they're

1:25:46 ↗ gonna do some they're gonna modify that

1:25:48 ↗ roadway a bit and we thought well that's

1:25:51 ↗ a great time to once again go in there

1:25:53 ↗ and work with them

1:25:54 ↗ and

1:25:56 ↗ maybe

1:25:57 ↗ collaborate together a joint project at

1:25:59 ↗ the same time

1:26:00 ↗ do a meeting of tearing up the road

1:26:02 ↗ let's go ahead and put in some treatment

1:26:04 ↗ a system to treat them run off on that

1:26:05 ↗ roadway

1:26:16 ↗ yeah okay

1:26:17 ↗ and of course that would that would help

1:26:19 ↗ treat you know high pollutants that

1:26:21 ↗ enter lewis creek which once again says

1:26:23 ↗ very extreme

1:26:25 ↗ highly productive strain um so it has

1:26:28 ↗ those benefits as well so it seemed to

1:26:30 ↗ make a logical sense to

1:26:32 ↗ to

1:26:33 ↗ target this

1:26:34 ↗ for a retrofit so

1:26:36 ↗ the treatment area to this looks fairly

1:26:40 ↗ small

1:26:42 ↗ yeah i think i don't know we talked

1:26:44 ↗ about that um

1:26:46 ↗ how big that area would be

1:26:49 ↗ the although the dot is in one location

1:26:53 ↗ um we

1:26:54 ↗ we there might actually be several like

1:26:56 ↗ smaller facilities along

1:26:59 ↗ a longer extent

1:27:01 ↗ of

1:27:02 ↗ um uh west lake samamish

1:27:05 ↗ parkway there um so

1:27:09 ↗ we'd be treating um probably

1:27:12 ↗ more than that so as gary mentioned

1:27:15 ↗ washdot will have a requirement to

1:27:16 ↗ provide treatment for any pavement they

1:27:18 ↗ modify as part of their culvert

1:27:20 ↗ replacement project

1:27:22 ↗ and what we would be proposing to do

1:27:24 ↗ is

1:27:26 ↗ coordinate with them and at the same

1:27:27 ↗ time provide

1:27:29 ↗ either an upsized facility or additional

1:27:33 ↗ facilities that could be constructed and

1:27:35 ↗ roughly

1:27:37 ↗ roughly the same phasing to treat more

1:27:40 ↗ area

1:27:42 ↗ and we've got

1:27:44 ↗ we could go either direction um from the

1:27:47 ↗ the crossing

1:27:49 ↗ over lewis creek or both directions um

1:27:52 ↗ for facilities in the right-of-way

1:27:55 ↗ and

1:27:56 ↗ again this is

1:27:58 ↗ a road that has quite a lot of traffic

1:28:00 ↗ so that 6ppd equino

1:28:03 ↗ issue the tire wear particles and

1:28:06 ↗ its a

1:28:07 ↗ significant impact on fish

1:28:10 ↗ is something we'd be keeping in mind and

1:28:12 ↗ making sure that we select

1:28:15 ↗ uh

1:28:16 ↗ sf are types of bmps that can treat 6ppd

1:28:20 ↗ equinome or remove it i should say from

1:28:22 ↗ the

1:28:23 ↗ runoff

1:28:40 ↗ so okay here's some great projects we're

1:28:43 ↗ going to work on but then there's this

1:28:44 ↗ huge backlog and uh the tools and

1:28:47 ↗ methods and our understanding of the

1:28:50 ↗ science behind all this is improving

1:28:52 ↗ that greatly

1:28:54 ↗ and uh

1:28:55 ↗ is there any hope

1:28:57 ↗ that our backlog would uh get smaller or

1:29:00 ↗ will the backlog

1:29:02 ↗ just keep getting bigger and bigger

1:29:04 ↗ um

1:29:05 ↗ uh

1:29:06 ↗ i don't know

1:29:07 ↗ how would you measure the city of

1:29:09 ↗ issaquah's response to these problems

1:29:12 ↗ compared to other jurisdictions

1:29:15 ↗ kind of in line with the what is typical

1:29:19 ↗ in

1:29:20 ↗ the jurisdiction from this area or

1:29:23 ↗ city universe boy doing a bang-up job

1:29:26 ↗ above and beyond what others are doing

1:29:28 ↗ or how do we know

1:29:32 ↗ a few questions there one of the just

1:29:33 ↗ the backlogs of two things on the back

1:29:35 ↗ one

1:29:36 ↗ um when you look in the project we're

1:29:38 ↗ kind of proposing here at the backlog

1:29:40 ↗ that we have now

1:29:42 ↗ uh what we'll be

1:29:43 ↗ you know we're working on our 23-24

1:29:45 ↗ budget right now just be good to see

1:29:47 ↗ that you're going to see a few of these

1:29:48 ↗ projects on there but not a lot

1:29:50 ↗ the current rate study and uh ends of 25

1:29:54 ↗ so we'll probably 24 be starting a new

1:29:57 ↗ five to six year rate studying all these

1:29:59 ↗ this backlog will somehow be worked into

1:30:02 ↗ that

1:30:03 ↗ uh for these projects but for the larger

1:30:04 ↗ map backlogger one will stop

1:30:07 ↗ i think you're gonna you're just gonna

1:30:08 ↗ unfortunately in the stormwater world

1:30:10 ↗ we're gonna keep it be addressing issues

1:30:12 ↗ for quite a while so i think we're gonna

1:30:15 ↗ be addressing these and then there's

1:30:17 ↗ gonna be more

1:30:18 ↗ more coming up

1:30:20 ↗ just as i mean that just seems to be the

1:30:22 ↗ nature of stormwater whether it's

1:30:24 ↗ flooding due to you know climate change

1:30:26 ↗ or just more particular pollutants that

1:30:29 ↗ we didn't know are causing issues but

1:30:30 ↗ now we know they're causing issues so

1:30:32 ↗ the number first of all but i think you

1:30:34 ↗ know this is definitely

1:30:36 ↗ um

1:30:37 ↗ a good portion of the backlog but i

1:30:39 ↗ don't think there's this is going to end

1:30:40 ↗ it and then compared to where we are you

1:30:42 ↗ know frankly i think we're you know

1:30:45 ↗ again we can maybe show this

1:30:47 ↗ this could be a maybe another discussion

1:30:49 ↗ but i i'd say we are very high on the

1:30:52 ↗ high end of how we're approaching storm

1:30:54 ↗ water in this o'clock for the region um

1:30:58 ↗ redmond for our support it's another

1:30:59 ↗ good example

1:31:00 ↗ um but there

1:31:02 ↗ for the number of for the amount of

1:31:04 ↗ population that we have

1:31:06 ↗ uh for our cip

1:31:09 ↗ when you look at that it's pretty

1:31:10 ↗ impressive

1:31:11 ↗ uh the variety of products especially on

1:31:13 ↗ the restoration end

1:31:15 ↗ that alan talked about earlier one of

1:31:17 ↗ the things we really are trying to do

1:31:18 ↗ here is address flooding

1:31:21 ↗ water quality and habitat and i think

1:31:24 ↗ you know

1:31:24 ↗ we look at portfolios for other cities

1:31:26 ↗ and

1:31:27 ↗ counties in the area we're pretty high

1:31:29 ↗ up there and i think we have that

1:31:31 ↗ respect you know we talk to

1:31:34 ↗ others in our jurisdiction they're

1:31:36 ↗ pretty pretty impressed with what we do

1:31:37 ↗ here in that uh

1:31:39 ↗ not that we don't know work to do we do

1:31:42 ↗ yeah i mean yeah there's a and we have

1:31:44 ↗ this i mean i can

1:31:47 ↗ give it yeah

1:31:49 ↗ present it but there's a

1:31:51 ↗ there's a

1:31:52 ↗ map and a list of all the restoration

1:31:55 ↗ looking at restoration for example the

1:31:56 ↗ ball pressure recreation project this

1:31:57 ↗ supply has done over the last like 20

1:31:59 ↗ years and it's quite impressive this has

1:32:01 ↗ a map of every project we've done

1:32:04 ↗ um

1:32:05 ↗ how much it costs

1:32:06 ↗ when it was completed

1:32:08 ↗ and so we

1:32:10 ↗ we really i think from the restoration

1:32:11 ↗ standpoint we do a great job we follow

1:32:13 ↗ the riot 8 um sam recovery plan which is

1:32:16 ↗ this you know basically they look

1:32:18 ↗ through the simple process they rank

1:32:20 ↗ projects that would help

1:32:22 ↗ do the best job recovering salmon

1:32:24 ↗ and so we're following that list they're

1:32:27 ↗ going in that that plan and plugging the

1:32:29 ↗ projects that we're high priority in

1:32:31 ↗ there and putting them in and we're

1:32:32 ↗ completing one of those projects right

1:32:34 ↗ now

1:32:35 ↗ and in our security we have another

1:32:37 ↗ project that's from that list called the

1:32:39 ↗ squat

1:32:40 ↗ valley

1:32:41 ↗ south

1:32:42 ↗ restoration project so i think yes i

1:32:44 ↗ think this quest did a great job with

1:32:46 ↗ the restoration end of it you know makes

1:32:49 ↗ it a little infrastructure and it's it's

1:32:50 ↗ going to be a never-ending

1:32:53 ↗ you know job

1:32:54 ↗ to identify where we have failing

1:32:56 ↗ infrastructure and

1:32:57 ↗ and that's where asset management can

1:32:59 ↗ come in and so there's this yeah store

1:33:01 ↗ monitors there's a lot of

1:33:03 ↗ job security at stormwater

1:33:05 ↗ and with all the all the permitting

1:33:07 ↗ requirements

1:33:08 ↗ and i want to add that we do leverage a

1:33:10 ↗ lot of grant funding also from ecology

1:33:13 ↗ to do these retrofits so there's money

1:33:15 ↗ out there specifically targeting

1:33:16 ↗ retrofits

1:33:17 ↗ and

1:33:18 ↗ we've already got three three grants for

1:33:21 ↗ three different projects for the ecology

1:33:23 ↗ that would be based

1:33:25 ↗ on this list other areas that we

1:33:26 ↗ identified as high priority high use

1:33:29 ↗ high intensity high collision generating

1:33:31 ↗ areas that we're going to be treating

1:33:32 ↗ blends in old town

1:33:34 ↗ dogwood street there's gonna be one

1:33:36 ↗ there um actually 200 on the camera so

1:33:40 ↗ so that's

1:33:41 ↗ so we're still like i said this is only

1:33:43 ↗ what we've identified for this for this

1:33:46 ↗ process but there's you know there's so

1:33:47 ↗ many other projects that are on this on

1:33:49 ↗ this

1:33:50 ↗ list that aren't the top 10 and who

1:33:52 ↗ knows as time involved goes on we may

1:33:54 ↗ try to

1:33:55 ↗ save this other one because one of the

1:33:57 ↗ things is we look at frequency of issue

1:34:00 ↗ how does it occur

1:34:01 ↗ and

1:34:02 ↗ and so some of these problems have been

1:34:04 ↗ identified as problems but you know the

1:34:06 ↗ last couple years we haven't quite maybe

1:34:08 ↗ seen as much of an issue so but then

1:34:10 ↗ there could be another also another

1:34:12 ↗ problem that

1:34:13 ↗ comes up and so then i said this has to

1:34:15 ↗ be a fluid document where we can

1:34:18 ↗ modify as needed but this is our best

1:34:21 ↗ guess

1:34:22 ↗ not a guest we look really hard at all

1:34:24 ↗ the issues and try to come up with some

1:34:27 ↗ methodical way to narrow it down to

1:34:29 ↗ something we can manage in our budget

1:34:31 ↗ you know we have loads of funds and

1:34:33 ↗ um

1:34:34 ↗ so

1:34:36 ↗ trying to leverage other other sources

1:34:37 ↗ of funding as best we can so let's

1:34:41 ↗ yes it's it's liz is never going to go

1:34:58 ↗ are are we adding to the list because of

1:35:02 ↗ uh future development

1:35:04 ↗ mistakes or you know i'm i'm guessing

1:35:07 ↗ that we've raised the bar on them the

1:35:09 ↗ future uh development is not added as

1:35:13 ↗ much as we did with the past because we

1:35:15 ↗ didn't know that right now we do know

1:35:17 ↗ better and so there is hope i guess it's

1:35:20 ↗ my fever this is all lizard problems

1:35:23 ↗ around the wild i mean like he said that

1:35:25 ↗ yes

1:35:28 ↗ our stormwater requirements new

1:35:30 ↗ development

1:35:31 ↗ has they have higher way high standards

1:35:33 ↗ now that so they're mitigating doing a

1:35:35 ↗ pretty good job of mitigating all their

1:35:37 ↗ taxes

1:35:40 ↗ here i think what we want to

1:35:43 ↗ do with alan turner asset mentioned i

1:35:45 ↗ think we want to be eliminating

1:35:47 ↗ surprises right

1:35:49 ↗ new issues so that we

1:35:50 ↗ better understand how infrastructure is

1:35:52 ↗ working

1:35:54 ↗ likely to fail we can then plan ahead

1:35:56 ↗ for it so that we can keep those stable

1:35:59 ↗ great rates profile so that we know how

1:36:01 ↗ much how much work we could take on and

1:36:04 ↗ not get a really surprised like oh my

1:36:06 ↗ goodness like this facility just failed

1:36:08 ↗ out of the blue

1:36:11 ↗ you're going to see going forward as we

1:36:13 ↗ better understand the system works by

1:36:15 ↗ taking this more of a asymmetry

1:36:20 ↗ fancy

1:36:21 ↗ question so last time you were here we

1:36:23 ↗ talked a little bit about doing

1:36:25 ↗ partnerships with private entities you

1:36:27 ↗ know maybe instead of always doing it

1:36:29 ↗ through title 18 like

1:36:31 ↗ doing a stormwater facility you know on

1:36:33 ↗ their property per se instead of just

1:36:35 ↗ buying into a regional facility along

1:36:38 ↗ the way you know thinking bigger of

1:36:40 ↗ getting something like a bigger bang for

1:36:41 ↗ our buck and it seems like the work

1:36:43 ↗ you're doing in the old town sub basin

1:36:45 ↗ is an opportunity or something like that

1:36:47 ↗ to happen uh are you still considering

1:36:50 ↗ that

1:36:51 ↗ absolutely

1:36:53 ↗ little projects here and there just get

1:36:55 ↗ a big one and you nailed it

1:36:56 ↗ and really brought that up so as

1:36:59 ↗ i think that's part of the tool kit so

1:37:01 ↗ we what we talked about earlier right

1:37:04 ↗ for old this is going to be probably a

1:37:06 ↗ number of solutions right but let's say

1:37:08 ↗ that a regional facility is part of the

1:37:11 ↗ part of the part of the solution

1:37:13 ↗ one of the then we talked about how to

1:37:15 ↗ finance it so one thing we could do it

1:37:17 ↗ could not just be uh yeah this is this

1:37:19 ↗ is really pushing the cutting edge again

1:37:21 ↗ other people's have done this but

1:37:22 ↗ instead of just being counting in city

1:37:24 ↗ this could be private developers could

1:37:26 ↗ pay into this

1:37:27 ↗ instead of doing something on their

1:37:29 ↗ property if we feel there's a bigger

1:37:31 ↗ benefit so absolutely

1:37:37 ↗ you mentioned title 18 title 16 is also

1:37:40 ↗ i think you've seen a touch on that as

1:37:42 ↗ before

1:37:43 ↗ uh with the floodplain management and

1:37:44 ↗ stormwater code we're allowed to do that

1:37:46 ↗ so so we actually it gives us um

1:37:49 ↗ the turtle current titles give us the

1:37:52 ↗ authority to do that if it makes sense

1:37:54 ↗ so we we actually have that opening to

1:37:56 ↗ do that so we just now have to look at

1:37:58 ↗ how um

1:38:13 ↗ um so yeah that would be something to

1:38:14 ↗ look at that's a big you know it's a lot

1:38:17 ↗ that's a great opportunity to get a

1:38:18 ↗ better yeah better banking

1:38:21 ↗ my second question

1:38:23 ↗ if i can add just one piece to that i

1:38:26 ↗ think when we're doing sophie and lou

1:38:28 ↗ the other interesting pieces you could

1:38:30 ↗ also look at low impact development plus

1:38:32 ↗ retrofit facilities so some of the

1:38:33 ↗ things you were talking about in terms

1:38:35 ↗ of you know you were talking about

1:38:36 ↗ cisterns there's just other ways the

1:38:38 ↗ whole idea behind low impact development

1:38:40 ↗ is you infiltrate as much as possible in

1:38:42 ↗ a more distributed fashion so the idea

1:38:44 ↗ would be you know if the developers

1:38:46 ↗ could do portion of low impact

1:38:47 ↗ development on their properties and then

1:38:49 ↗ also connect into a regional facility so

1:38:52 ↗ there would be various kinds of

1:38:53 ↗ combinations and it would incorporate a

1:38:55 ↗ lot of the things that you guys are

1:38:57 ↗ talking about so

1:38:58 ↗ that would be studied as part of the

1:39:00 ↗ study i guess just wanted to add that

1:39:05 ↗ then my second question for you is

1:39:08 ↗ your

1:39:09 ↗ relationship with parks and how because

1:39:11 ↗ they're a big part of it and i guess

1:39:13 ↗ what's triggering this is they recently

1:39:15 ↗ sold some carpet and credits over here

1:39:18 ↗ on

1:39:18 ↗ cooper mountain i think it wasn't

1:39:20 ↗ um

1:39:23 ↗ they had some land that they acquired um

1:39:26 ↗ they have and they're saving the trees

1:39:29 ↗ and someone bought the carton credits

1:39:32 ↗ and they brought that presentation to us

1:39:33 ↗ and i guess

1:39:35 ↗ the thing i'm thinking about is

1:39:37 ↗ how was your interaction with parks

1:39:39 ↗ because they have big parcels of land

1:39:41 ↗ that they manage

1:39:43 ↗ that are great opportunities and

1:39:44 ↗ locations that it seems like there

1:39:46 ↗ should be a great a big partnership with

1:39:48 ↗ modern parks

1:39:50 ↗ actually there is a very good

1:39:51 ↗ relationship so i work with denver bank

1:39:53 ↗ all the time

1:39:54 ↗ um

1:39:55 ↗ and in fact we collaborate on several

1:39:57 ↗ projects but in the past in fact the

1:39:59 ↗ project that i'm that i'm constructing

1:40:01 ↗ now lowers the car creek habitat

1:40:03 ↗ restoration project over by costco and

1:40:06 ↗ that was

1:40:07 ↗ uh as parks we work with car parks we

1:40:09 ↗ actually use stormwater funds

1:40:12 ↗ because they don't you know

1:40:13 ↗ to actually make the purchase to buy the

1:40:15 ↗ properties once they get identified for

1:40:17 ↗ purchase and then we can do a joint we

1:40:20 ↗ do a joint project here so that's the

1:40:22 ↗ joint project where we're putting in all

1:40:24 ↗ this salmon habitat we're also putting

1:40:26 ↗ in a trail through there

1:40:27 ↗ um and we've done it with other projects

1:40:30 ↗ all alongside our creek so yes

1:40:33 ↗ understand that jennifer

1:40:35 ↗ is off and if you mentioned her name

1:40:38 ↗ she's going to be part of the uh the

1:40:40 ↗ king county collaborative work so she's

1:40:42 ↗ uh

1:40:43 ↗ we're we're actually uh announced part

1:40:45 ↗ of this as well

1:40:46 ↗ starting a monthly uh just meeting with

1:40:48 ↗ king count everybody everybody

1:40:50 ↗ floodplain king county anthony

1:40:52 ↗ we're getting included for that for the

1:40:54 ↗ next couple years just so we're

1:40:55 ↗ completely coordinated so uh and no

1:40:58 ↗ bringing their parks focuses on youtube

1:40:59 ↗ too but yeah just it feels like a really

1:41:01 ↗ good collaboration here uh

1:41:04 ↗ you know two examples issaquah creep of

1:41:07 ↗ course nintendo's we're

1:41:09 ↗ just really working together

1:41:10 ↗ collaboratively

1:41:11 ↗ thanks very very much

1:41:16 ↗ any other comments from the board

1:41:19 ↗ thank you for your presentation uh you

1:41:21 ↗ guys have clearly done your homework i

1:41:22 ↗ think the projects you're bringing is a

1:41:25 ↗ good subset um of the ones you looked at

1:41:28 ↗ i think it's a good distribution

1:41:30 ↗ across the city and a good combination

1:41:32 ↗ of different types of projects that

1:41:33 ↗ you're looking at

1:41:34 ↗ i would encourage you that as time goes

1:41:36 ↗ on you you both mentioned that it's an

1:41:38 ↗ ever-changing world in stormwater

1:41:40 ↗ be flexible don't commit to a certain

1:41:43 ↗ set of projects and get too far down the

1:41:45 ↗ road because we all know that

1:41:47 ↗ regulations change

1:41:49 ↗ and they can change drastically in the

1:41:51 ↗ next five years so i've taken approach

1:41:53 ↗ of looking at these every few years

1:41:55 ↗ and it's a quick ad in terms of you know

1:41:58 ↗ the types of whether we chose projects

1:42:00 ↗ so the flooding habitat restoration and

1:42:03 ↗ we did have that discussion with i know

1:42:05 ↗ with council we talked about and wanted

1:42:06 ↗ to get their feedback where they thought

1:42:08 ↗ the priority women wanted to be i think

1:42:10 ↗ they you know everyone you know flooding

1:42:12 ↗ is obviously a big concern but they said

1:42:14 ↗ don't forget about the habitat it's

1:42:16 ↗ quite santa central

1:42:18 ↗ you know the conversations with

1:42:20 ↗ council president hunt on medication and

1:42:22 ↗ she really you know

1:42:24 ↗ she really likes to be involved in all

1:42:25 ↗ the stand recovery efforts and sees that

1:42:28 ↗ those restoration practices are

1:42:29 ↗ important so we want to make sure we

1:42:31 ↗ include those in there

1:42:32 ↗ um

1:42:33 ↗ so

1:42:34 ↗ we are saying and i will tell you um i

1:42:37 ↗ work regionally in the starring water

1:42:39 ↗ world quite a bit

1:42:40 ↗ and tom to your point of uh is this

1:42:43 ↗ about being progressive with their cip

1:42:45 ↗ work i think in the world of stormwater

1:42:47 ↗ yeah they are that's what stacks up with

1:42:49 ↗ the other cities and all around here

1:42:53 ↗ thank you gentlemen

1:43:09 ↗ great job

1:43:10 ↗ thanks

1:43:13 ↗ bye

1:43:15 ↗ bye bye

1:43:16 ↗ bye

1:43:21 ↗ all right stacy let's flip this along do

1:43:23 ↗ we have any reports from the

1:43:24 ↗ environmental board um yeah i'll just

1:43:26 ↗ talk about the board schedule and then a

1:43:28 ↗ quick update on the icap implementation

1:43:31 ↗ um it's a board schedule no major

1:43:33 ↗ updates have been made to that since our

1:43:34 ↗ last meeting i do need to confirm with

1:43:38 ↗ uh cpd that they'll be here in august to

1:43:40 ↗ talk about the national environmental

1:43:42 ↗ checklist

1:43:43 ↗ um and if we're especially incorporating

1:43:45 ↗ the feedback that the board provided to

1:43:46 ↗ them in our spring meeting um you may

1:43:48 ↗ know lucy left the city so some of that

1:43:51 ↗ work i think they're still figuring out

1:43:52 ↗ how to hand off

1:43:54 ↗ um so just a possibility that we may

1:43:56 ↗ need to delay that topic but i'll work

1:43:58 ↗ with them this month um to try and team

1:44:00 ↗ that up

1:44:01 ↗ um the other topic for august i'm

1:44:03 ↗ excited about

1:44:04 ↗ is to talk about our update on the

1:44:07 ↗ climate vulnerability assessment um

1:44:09 ↗ we'll probably have some discussion

1:44:11 ↗ questions coming to the board and then

1:44:14 ↗ from um our staff will also be here to

1:44:16 ↗ give us an update on the emergency

1:44:18 ↗ management

1:44:19 ↗ [Applause]

1:44:21 ↗ in august

1:44:23 ↗ um and just to note nancy to you uh

1:44:26 ↗ mentioned the wastewater i apologize

1:44:28 ↗ that was a carryover from an old

1:44:30 ↗ schedule that ended up on our agenda for

1:44:32 ↗ tonight but as gary mentioned we will be

1:44:35 ↗ bringing you the wastewater plan um

1:44:38 ↗ quarter three

1:44:41 ↗ can i ask another special question

1:44:44 ↗ and i know parks had mitch that they

1:44:45 ↗ would like to come back and talk with us

1:44:47 ↗ again about what their parks master plan

1:44:49 ↗ and stuff is yeah i don't know what

1:44:51 ↗ they're thinking but i'm just telling

1:44:52 ↗ them

1:44:53 ↗ some time to share okay great i'll check

1:44:55 ↗ it out

1:45:01 ↗ any other questions feedback on board

1:45:03 ↗ schedule

1:45:06 ↗ all right

1:45:07 ↗ um just brief update on icap

1:45:09 ↗ implementation we are just launching our

1:45:12 ↗ heat pump campaign finally um

1:45:14 ↗ we're gonna have our first workshop for

1:45:16 ↗ residents at the end of this month we'll

1:45:18 ↗ be doing a lot of promotion about that

1:45:20 ↗ over the next few weeks um there'll be

1:45:22 ↗ workshops done happening about every

1:45:24 ↗ three two to three weeks after that

1:45:27 ↗ through september

1:45:29 ↗ i presented to the planning development

1:45:32 ↗ and environment committee of the council

1:45:35 ↗ last month to request the funding for

1:45:38 ↗ the low-income

1:45:39 ↗ component of that program they were very

1:45:41 ↗ supportive they wanted to see more

1:45:43 ↗ budget and

1:45:44 ↗ effort going to that component of the

1:45:46 ↗ program in the future

1:45:48 ↗ um i'll be putting that request to full

1:45:50 ↗ council on monday it's actually going to

1:45:52 ↗ be

1:45:53 ↗ on the consent agenda so we're hoping to

1:45:55 ↗ receive that support on monday

1:45:59 ↗ clean buildings program we presented

1:46:03 ↗ on that program to the council committee

1:46:05 ↗ back in june

1:46:07 ↗ there were some concerns recommendations

1:46:10 ↗ for

1:46:11 ↗ shifting our priorities with less of a

1:46:14 ↗ focus on um

1:46:16 ↗ companies

1:46:18 ↗ um our lights are blinking in here billy

1:46:21 ↗ so

1:46:23 ↗ he's telling us it's too late time to go

1:46:25 ↗ home um so we're we've

1:46:29 ↗ somewhat shifted

1:46:31 ↗ not necessarily shifted the focus

1:46:32 ↗ shifted um a component of that program

1:46:35 ↗ to look at energy efficiency in existing

1:46:38 ↗ buildings

1:46:39 ↗ not solely focused on the buildings i

1:46:41 ↗ have to comply with the clean building

1:46:43 ↗ standard

1:46:44 ↗ but also working with other buildings

1:46:46 ↗ that are

1:46:47 ↗ interested in doing energy efficiency

1:46:49 ↗ upgrades um so a bit of repackaging of

1:46:52 ↗ that program and that will also go to

1:46:54 ↗ council on monday

1:46:57 ↗ um

1:46:58 ↗ we did put out an rfp for support of

1:47:01 ↗ that work

1:47:03 ↗ back a month or so ago and we've

1:47:05 ↗ identified

1:47:06 ↗ a consultant that we'd be working with

1:47:09 ↗ um assuming that council approves that

1:47:10 ↗ budget request so we'll be ready to go

1:47:13 ↗ and negotiate that scope of work

1:47:15 ↗ after monday if it's approved

1:47:18 ↗ climate vulnerability assessment much

1:47:20 ↗ more will come to you in august on that

1:47:22 ↗ but work is underway we held our first

1:47:25 ↗ staff workshop at that end of june and

1:47:28 ↗ we're now scoping the community

1:47:29 ↗ engagement piece

1:47:31 ↗ we

1:47:33 ↗ heard positively from department of

1:47:35 ↗ commerce that um that we are successful

1:47:38 ↗ in a grant opportunity from them that

1:47:41 ↗ will allow us to greatly expand

1:47:43 ↗ our community engagement piece as well

1:47:45 ↗ as the

1:47:46 ↗ types of tools that come out of this

1:47:48 ↗ program that types of communication

1:47:50 ↗ tools that come out of the assessment

1:47:52 ↗ um so we'll have a lot more direct

1:47:54 ↗ interaction with communities that are

1:47:56 ↗ probably highly at risk for climate

1:47:58 ↗ impacts but we'll also be building in

1:48:00 ↗ some broader community engagement

1:48:02 ↗ opportunities

1:48:03 ↗ somewhat similar to what was done for

1:48:05 ↗ the icap development

1:48:07 ↗ um that commerce grant i'll talk more

1:48:10 ↗ about that in august but it will also

1:48:13 ↗ provide us resources to integrate

1:48:15 ↗ results of the climate vulnerability

1:48:16 ↗ assessment into the comprehensive plan

1:48:20 ↗ um there's a number of parallel

1:48:21 ↗ conversations happening with king county

1:48:23 ↗ on wildfire preparedness and heat events

1:48:27 ↗ they're launching a big heat planning

1:48:29 ↗ strategy

1:48:30 ↗ so we're working to really intersect

1:48:32 ↗ that effort with the vulnerability

1:48:33 ↗ assessment as well as with the emergency

1:48:35 ↗ management plan so a lot going on um

1:48:38 ↗ there

1:48:39 ↗ a couple more quick updates uh community

1:48:41 ↗ climate challenge we've been really

1:48:43 ↗ working on team leader recruitment i

1:48:46 ↗ think's really important and the issue

1:48:49 ↗ is trail club has gotten very involved

1:48:51 ↗ has been doing a big recruitment

1:48:54 ↗ um

1:48:55 ↗ our

1:48:56 ↗ the collaborative cities the four cities

1:48:58 ↗ that are partnering on this we're

1:48:59 ↗ bringing on an outreach coordinator that

1:49:01 ↗ will be working across the city starting

1:49:03 ↗ next week so hoping to get

1:49:06 ↗ a lot more publicity out engagement

1:49:08 ↗ they'll be going out and meeting with

1:49:10 ↗ different groups around the city to get

1:49:12 ↗ them involved there's interest from some

1:49:15 ↗ students about starting a climate

1:49:16 ↗ challenge cup they've been doing this in

1:49:18 ↗ spokane so

1:49:20 ↗ we're going to start talking with some

1:49:21 ↗ of the schools about

1:49:23 ↗ about that and getting these involved

1:49:26 ↗ performance dashboard we're continuing

1:49:28 ↗ to take the feedback we heard from the

1:49:30 ↗ board uh a couple meetings ago uh make

1:49:33 ↗ requirements to that we'll be coming

1:49:34 ↗ back to you

1:49:35 ↗ in a couple of months to

1:49:37 ↗ provide an update

1:49:39 ↗ um lead for cities billy

1:49:42 ↗ really has been taking the lead on

1:49:43 ↗ working on collecting data

1:49:45 ↗ for that certification program um not

1:49:49 ↗ many updates there except we're just

1:49:50 ↗ plugging away with collecting data

1:49:53 ↗ that we'll eventually submit to try and

1:49:55 ↗ get a certification fee

1:49:58 ↗ last i just wanted to mention um was our

1:50:00 ↗ budget process is underway

1:50:03 ↗ um i'm focusing really on look at the

1:50:06 ↗ next two years and what icap

1:50:07 ↗ implementation

1:50:09 ↗ it was anticipated through the

1:50:11 ↗ development of the icap um so putting in

1:50:14 ↗ budget requests around building and home

1:50:16 ↗ electrification energy efficiency and

1:50:19 ↗ senate incentives

1:50:21 ↗ looking at implementing the

1:50:22 ↗ vulnerability assessment

1:50:25 ↗ work for the municipal buildings on

1:50:27 ↗ renewable energy and decarbonization eb

1:50:30 ↗ charging a lot of potential budget items

1:50:33 ↗ we're still working on packaging that up

1:50:36 ↗ and then it will go to council for

1:50:38 ↗ discussion

1:50:39 ↗ um what won't be seen in there i think

1:50:42 ↗ is where a lot of our work might shift

1:50:44 ↗ in the next year or so to more policy

1:50:47 ↗ regulations um because we really

1:50:49 ↗ anticipate that's a lot of

1:50:51 ↗ the staff time um so that may not be

1:50:54 ↗ seen in the budget but that's really

1:50:56 ↗ where probably a lot of our efforts will

1:50:58 ↗ shift and

1:50:59 ↗ hopefully in collaboration with all of

1:51:00 ↗ you we'll be working through those

1:51:02 ↗ together

1:51:04 ↗ so that is all i have for updates um

1:51:06 ↗ happy to take questions on that and then

1:51:08 ↗ the other thing uh just wanted any

1:51:13 ↗ have i heard

1:51:14 ↗ making sure we can get some internet
