Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update: Economic Vitality Element
Trish Heinonen, Policy Planning Manager · packet pp.7–17
Topics: Land UseEconomic Development
Staff report:
The Economic Vitality Element was included as part of Issaquah’s first GMA consistent Comprehensive Plan, adopted in April, 1995. The State did not require an economic element at that time, however Issaquah felt strongly that economic vitality was a large piece of the community’s quality of life. This element’s most recent update was 2007. An Economic Development Element is now required by GMA.
0:01 you
0:07 you
0:13 everybody's good good evening and
0:18 welcome to the August fourteenth meeting
0:21 of the planning policy Commission thank
0:24 you all for being here as usual we do
0:27 the minutes first is everybody read the
0:30 minutes do I have a motion to approve
0:34 minutes a second any discussion all
0:43 those in favor say aye opposed great
0:48 here we go tonight where you're going to
0:50 continue the growth what is it cultural
0:55 plan and the growth management and we're
0:58 going to just start with you and the
1:00 economic vitality part of the cultural
1:02 element yes absolutely you got it in one
1:06 very good I'm quick housekeeping um for
1:09 you and for our TV audience our October
1:12 9th meeting is getting bumped up to
1:14 October second i'll send you all an
1:17 email out so that you can change your
1:19 schedules but i just wanted to sort of
1:21 plant the seed that october is going to
1:22 be a little different for us because the
1:23 council uses the chambers for their
1:25 budget deliberations quite often in the
1:28 month during the month of october and so
1:30 there's two thursdays that they're using
1:33 our chambers so we have to bump one of
1:36 our meetings so i'm just giving you a
1:37 heads-up that will be meeting october
1:39 second and you'll see more about it in
1:41 an email so i just want to plant the
1:43 seed but for more important and exciting
1:45 news tonight we're continuing on with a
1:47 comprehensive plan update this is
1:49 exciting tonight we have two topics we
1:52 have the economic vitality element which
1:55 we have someone from economic
1:56 development department Jen here with us
1:59 tonight to walk us through all the work
2:01 that the Commission has been doing with
2:02 our very own bill Ramos is also on that
2:05 Commission so we'll have two helps to
2:08 get us to understand all the work that
2:09 they've been doing and they've been
2:10 doing a lot of work and I will help us
2:13 understand what the Arts Commission has
2:15 been doing with the cultural element and
2:17 Joan will help me
2:18 as she is on the Arts Commission as well
2:20 so we have a lot of help tonight to
2:22 understand these two very important
2:23 elements and to understand how the goals
2:26 came about and how we can keep them and
2:28 enforce them in our comprehensive plan
2:31 just to remind all of us including
2:33 myself because sometimes I have trouble
2:35 with what the difference is the goal is
2:37 the aim or the desired result and the
2:40 policy is the principle on how to get us
2:42 there and the implementation is actually
2:44 how to carry it out and sometimes they
2:47 get a little mixed and that's okay but
2:49 it's always good to try to remember how
2:51 we're supposed to divide them out and
2:53 with that I'm going to turn it over to
2:54 Jen for the economic vitality element oh
2:58 very good you might have noticed in your
3:02 packet that the economic vitality
3:04 element looked a little different than
3:06 the others that we've sent you because
3:07 it had a long list of implementation and
3:10 that is because they have been working
3:12 very hard on a lot of the planning that
3:15 they're doing but it's the first one
3:16 that you've seen that has a lot of
3:18 implementation tied to it which sort of
3:20 threw us a little bit because we had
3:22 thought about working on the
3:23 implementation later on for all the
3:25 elements and keeping it as sort of a
3:27 report card that is officially adapting
3:30 it for the state and sending it to the
3:31 state and getting approved by the state
3:33 and being limited by the state review
3:35 process but keeping it as sort of a live
3:38 document where we can check things off
3:39 and change things around and we aren't
3:42 stuck in if you will the limitations of
3:45 the state GMA and so it's not in the
3:48 presentation tonight but it's still in
3:50 your packet just to let you know what
3:51 the kind of what that kind of a plan or
3:54 a report card is going to look like for
3:55 us so that we can be implementing the
3:58 policies and programs but it won't be
4:00 actually a part of the GMA plan so if
4:03 you were got to the end of Jen's
4:05 presentation and said where's the
4:06 implementation discussion you can still
4:08 ask her about it but it wouldn't
4:10 actually be caught in the goals or the
4:12 policies does that make sense and we can
4:17 talk about it more at the end if you
4:18 still have questions or if something
4:20 triggers it's just the arrows the single
4:24 thank you hi good evening my name is jen
4:27 davis hayes and i work as an economic
4:29 development manager
4:30 at the city of issaquah and as you know
4:32 the city of issaquah as a relatively new
4:35 economic development department and so
4:37 luckily we actually have been working on
4:39 with our economic vitality Commission a
4:42 strategic plan and so there was perfect
4:44 timing to then also utilize that
4:46 information for the comp plan and so
4:49 that's why we had so much more
4:51 information already done because we've
4:53 been working with the EVC for about
4:55 about a year plus before I started last
4:58 September's age did a SWOT analysis of
5:01 what thing things in the in the city
5:03 were were opportunities and what things
5:06 they needed to address more and then we
5:08 work more on goals and policies and
5:11 moving for with implementation so so it
5:15 was a nice to dovetail right into the
5:16 comp plan work and so as you right here
5:20 talks about these are the things that
5:21 are required by the GMA so we need a
5:24 summary the local economy so that's
5:26 going to be a lot of the data so we
5:28 don't have that yet we're working on
5:29 that gathering all of that data and then
5:32 a summary the strengths and weaknesses
5:33 of the local economy and I believe again
5:35 because we did thats wat we have some
5:37 information in here already and then the
5:40 policies programs and projects to foster
5:42 economic growth and development to
5:43 address future needs so again we have
5:46 worked towards that and will address
5:48 those things so why is economic vitality
5:51 important well it definitely as you know
5:54 it is a quality of life issue right and
5:56 so as bill knows we talk a lot about
5:59 this and the economic vitality
6:00 Commission about what does that mean you
6:03 know economic vitality and doesn't just
6:06 mean economic development in the economy
6:08 it means the quality life the amenities
6:10 the education the outdoor recreation
6:14 opportunities workforce development
6:17 housing all those elements but we we
6:21 realize that this element is going to be
6:23 mostly dealing with with businesses and
6:25 so we talk really about the innovative
6:26 and vibrant business community we want
6:28 to we have here in this one we want to
6:30 continue to have and making sure that we
6:33 have diverse business and residential
6:35 population here because as we grow as a
6:38 city we want to make sure that we can
6:39 accommodate our population along with
6:42 all of our natural assets
6:44 and you can you have any questions just
6:47 jump on and we look forward to your
6:48 questions and comments so looking at our
6:51 vision we actually had a really hard
6:52 time with creating one vision statement
6:56 for our strategic plan and so luckily we
7:00 didn't have to have one really short
7:02 vision here for the for this comp plan
7:04 so I took advantage of that and talked
7:06 about how we want to continue to have a
7:08 welcoming business climate and making
7:10 sure that our businesses are successful
7:11 here in our community but you also want
7:14 to make sure that again that we're
7:15 looking the diversity of job
7:16 opportunities so not everybody can work
7:18 a costco or work at Microsoft but we
7:21 have a gamut of opportunities across the
7:24 line in small businesses and large
7:26 businesses and offer goods and services
7:28 to our residents and then we also want
7:31 to make sure that we are we as the city
7:33 are providing the the infrastructure and
7:35 the the tools that that the businesses
7:40 need to be successful so that our school
7:42 district is investing in working side by
7:44 side with businesses to best educate our
7:47 children and to make sure that we
7:48 protect the natural environments that's
7:50 very important to us here in issaquah so
7:54 our first goal is to have a successful
7:56 business environment and so what that
7:58 really means is that we are providing
8:01 we're working with businesses to provide
8:04 them assistance at the level they need
8:05 making sure they are connected with
8:07 resources in the community we're looking
8:09 to make sure we have transportation and
8:10 mobility solutions because obviously
8:12 they can't get goods and services in or
8:14 their workers in are having issues with
8:15 that they're going to go someplace else
8:17 one of the things that my coworker is
8:19 working on right now is looking at with
8:22 the utilities and looking at power and
8:24 trying to make sure that that there's a
8:27 quality of electricity provided where
8:30 you are able to do what you need to do
8:32 so some some businesses have had
8:35 fluctuation in power and how that has
8:37 affected their business and making sure
8:39 that we try to address that and then we
8:41 want to make sure of course that we can
8:43 continually communicate with our
8:45 business and community stakeholders to
8:47 make sure that we are addressing the
8:49 current trends because things do change
8:50 quickly miss economy as we've seen in
8:52 the last several years I just have a
8:55 yeah
8:56 issaquah strives to be a business
8:59 friendly community that's not really a
9:00 goal if the club will be a bit business
9:04 friendly community should be okay I was
9:06 good right either it needs to have more
9:10 than strives it's what is or will be
9:16 okay thank you that's the word smithing
9:19 I think we did thousand times over um
9:23 and then one of the things that uh when
9:26 I was first hired about a year ago was
9:28 to really um we know that it was a great
9:31 place to live but a lot of people don't
9:32 think about coming and locating their
9:35 business here in issaquah to a lot of
9:37 people they may not know the assets
9:38 beyond you know the amenities living
9:41 here and so what we really have strived
9:44 to do is to really we're working on
9:47 trying to identify our niche in the
9:50 business world so what type of
9:52 businesses will be best successful here
9:54 in issaquah because of our location in
9:56 our amenities and how then we can tell
9:59 that story out to the broader business
10:01 community and in part in doing that is
10:04 building our original partnership so
10:06 making sure we're at the table with our
10:08 economic development council of Seattle
10:09 King County making sure we're at the
10:12 regional real estate brokers meetings
10:16 and telling our story about issaquah we
10:18 actually created some initial marketing
10:20 material but as well to tell people the
10:22 story about and tell them about the
10:24 different businesses that are here and
10:25 how you can you can have a great balance
10:29 of work life here and so again part of
10:32 it is just going out there and telling
10:33 what we already know and then we're
10:35 looking to encourage private investment
10:38 and mostly will be working on the
10:41 central issaquah area and trying to
10:43 encourage redevelopment of that area and
10:45 so again telling that story about how
10:47 what you see now is not what our future
10:49 vision is for that area we want to see
10:51 high high density and mixed-use
10:54 development there so I'm apologize for
10:57 going back a little bit going going back
10:59 to goal a with you talked about agility
11:02 in the process is the ability to tailor
11:05 to changes in trends and that's
11:08 something that I'm not actually seeing
11:09 either way
11:10 the goal or within the policies under
11:12 the goal is that something that can be
11:13 added there so a four-goal a yeah okay
11:17 for gold egg so you talked about the
11:18 agility but I don't actually see it
11:20 within the policies okay change thank
11:26 you okay anything for goal be right now
11:29 any thoughts comments ok and then goals
11:35 see is workforce development and housing
11:38 and we all know that we have an amazing
11:42 school district and a school foundation
11:44 that work really hard and to make sure
11:46 we have the best quality of education
11:48 and one of the things we will have soon
11:51 is a Bellevue college campus and so
11:54 making sure we make those connections
11:55 between those institutions and the
11:57 businesses who need workers with those
11:59 skills and so right now businesses may
12:02 not be aware of all the resources that
12:05 are available to them in that system and
12:06 is it quite the system we actually have
12:08 worked with the Workforce Development
12:10 Council which is a regional Seattle King
12:12 County regional organization and they
12:13 helped us with our issaquah job fair
12:15 that we did a youth job fair in that was
12:18 in may and so we're looking at ways
12:21 again to try to connect businesses with
12:22 the skilled workers and making sure that
12:26 again as skills change and as our
12:28 residents change making sure that we had
12:30 the opportunity for that and one of the
12:32 things that the economic vitality
12:33 Commission thought was really important
12:35 is making sure there were housing
12:36 options for for folks that live in that
12:41 work in the community so if you worked
12:43 at Microsoft or costco or if you worked
12:46 at the target or twelfth Avenue cafe
12:50 that you had an opportunity to live in
12:52 the community if you chose to do so and
12:53 so with that we'll be looking at working
12:56 with DSD on a workforce housing plan and
13:00 moving forward to look at there's other
13:03 affordable housing opportunities to to
13:05 address that especially with the central
13:07 issaquah plan if we get some development
13:09 there and some affordable housing here
13:11 that would be nice um yes a minor yes
13:16 improvement yeah the business community
13:19 employees readily available
13:21 available skilled and educated workers
13:25 is that can that be massaged a little
13:30 bit so it I don't understand it sure I
13:36 mean do we provide you know should it be
13:38 state as a different different way we
13:41 work too I don't know but it just
13:45 doesn't sound that we the community
13:48 employees readily available skilled and
13:50 educated workers well how do we do that
13:52 I mean do we we take the second part
13:55 which is training right and that's
13:58 really where you need to be instead of
14:02 you employ these people you have to your
14:05 goal is to provide access and that makes
14:10 sense I don't know yeah I think I see
14:11 what you're saying so maybe the city
14:15 works with businesses within its
14:17 communities to provide skilled and
14:22 educated workers and residents and
14:25 provides continued training for a
14:29 changing economy I look at the housing
14:33 option to be a almost a goal of itself I
14:36 don't I think it's the first part was
14:38 enough and then housing should be put
14:40 someplace else yeah we had that exact
14:44 discussion in the VC about whether or
14:47 not housing goes here and we they
14:50 decided that they wanted to have it at a
14:51 higher level with a goal level versus
14:53 under someplace else wife is the
14:56 important important it's important yeah
14:57 I think it's really yeah and so maybe we
14:59 can look at the element as a the
15:00 comprehensive plan as a whole to see if
15:02 it's addressed you know and I know that
15:05 housing is a element is that correct
15:06 mm-hmm so yeah okay one thing I don't
15:11 see in in the goals or any
15:13 implementation is public school
15:16 education from preschool through a grade
15:19 12 I think one of our goals should be
15:21 that are that we maintain what now is
15:23 one of the finest school systems
15:27 anywhere right yeah I think it's very
15:30 important from a business standpoint
15:32 attracting businesses attract
15:34 I level workers that are educational
15:38 programs from preschool through 12th
15:40 grade are unparalleled I agree and
15:43 you're right a lot of people when they
15:45 business owners when they come to look
15:47 at an area the first thing they will do
15:48 is look at the school the school
15:50 district and how good the schools are
15:51 it's because they want their employees
15:53 to feel like they can move there and so
15:54 actually this goal will address that and
15:56 working with the school district and the
15:57 school foundation and the way we were
16:01 did it here is that to make to help
16:03 integrate them with the business
16:05 community and help make those
16:06 connections a little better I don't see
16:09 the emphasis that maybe we oughta place
16:11 on that okay and I do echo raise concern
16:16 that you know assisting the school
16:19 district is one thing but on the other
16:22 hand it's really the school district
16:23 being at the higher level that also
16:25 attracts the workers so maintaining that
16:27 is kind of the front end bringing the
16:29 business here as opposed to integrating
16:30 it with the business anybody else one
16:34 last thing if you please does anybody
16:36 think it's important to mention when we
16:39 talk about housing options how do we get
16:41 people to work transportation issues
16:46 mm-hmm word is that it's where's that
16:50 mentioned in here about i'm typing
16:52 municipal transportation that would be
16:55 in our first goal so we're looking at
16:57 developing transportation and mobility
16:58 solutions yeah well something that we
17:00 should emphasize right right and luckily
17:04 we have it we do have a trance / dance /
17:06 tation element as well because that is
17:08 something that actually my coworker
17:11 works a lot with our transportation
17:13 department or Public Works to make sure
17:15 that we're all pushing towards the same
17:18 direction here's 0 and we do a really
17:21 good job at that here the city okay any
17:24 other comments yet um one last one back
17:26 and see I guess the last sentence where
17:28 we're looking housing options to be
17:29 available for current or future business
17:30 to make it at home oh I think we need
17:33 business employees or something yes in
17:37 there thank you
17:41 okay so then our last one goal we call
17:47 vibrant community and this really is get
17:49 getting to the quality life issues and
17:52 so talking about the arts and culture
17:54 our outdoor recreation amenities looking
17:58 at making sure we have a diverse
17:59 selection of entertainment dining and
18:02 shopping needs so that also that
18:04 addresses the current residence but also
18:05 the visitors and tourists who'll be
18:07 coming into our area and so this is the
18:10 section again that kind of makes sure
18:12 that all the amenities that businesses
18:15 and residents look for we support that
18:17 with of course a lots of other partners
18:19 to do this so this isn't you know the
18:21 only economic development doing these
18:22 these things but it we understand how
18:25 important it is to be part of that I
18:26 think one thing that to emphasize in the
18:30 policies there is also and I don't see
18:32 it there is the community events I mean
18:35 I can fit into cultural opportunities
18:37 but it seems a little bit different I
18:39 mean I know when I told some people I
18:42 was moving to issaquah they said oh your
18:44 salmon days you know so that's kind of
18:46 what yet is it quoz known for and I'm
18:48 sure it brings a lot of economic
18:50 development into the city just through
18:51 salmon day so I think it it almost
18:53 should be a separate policy because
18:55 there are so many community events that
18:58 it should just be we should support and
19:01 encourage cultural than or community
19:04 events right and I'm looking at our
19:06 implementation just I think you're
19:08 exactly right that's one of the ways we
19:10 see actually growing opportunities for
19:13 businesses as well and and awareness
19:16 about what's happening here in issaquah
19:17 because as Roger Brooks our tourism
19:20 consultant says that everybody's first a
19:22 visitor to your community right so if
19:24 they come for salmon days or for a run
19:26 or for what a hike they're always that
19:29 visitor at first and then they start to
19:31 think oh maybe this is a place to live
19:32 and do business the other thing that I
19:35 didn't see that maybe is there are
19:37 buried where I didn't see it is safety
19:39 and security mm-hmm as a critical
19:42 element in
19:43 economic development I don't need to be
19:45 we need emphasize that we are safe and
19:48 secured crime free community sure right
19:51 that's very true we've been lucky about
19:54 that mm-hmm any other comments about
19:58 Goldie thank you I think that's you guys
20:03 were good about asking good questions
20:04 and suggesting things I'd along the way
20:06 ask the questions that we were concerned
20:08 about so any nothing else do you want to
20:12 add I know we have a little bit more
20:15 information than what you put up Bonnie
20:16 and I think it's uh it covers what you
20:21 said pretty well the different ideas and
20:24 options and it also flows along with the
20:26 arts yes part of it yes because people
20:30 come to issaquah that businesses come
20:33 but they want their employees to have
20:38 cultural and you know not only good
20:41 schools but good events and good music
20:43 guy everything else so they want to stay
20:45 here yeah and that's one of our emphasis
20:47 edible increasing increasing those
20:49 opportunities so you don't have to go
20:50 into seattle or bellevue and so you know
20:52 there's a lot right here so it's not
20:54 good for the events too and it's not
20:56 just affordable housing for employees
20:58 it's affordable housing for other people
21:01 who want to live work live in issaquah
21:03 oh yes yes and again it's housing
21:06 options right so you have it full scale
21:09 so good yap sins are good yes so how are
21:13 you talking about a human services
21:14 element and as an additional factor I am
21:20 sorry I couldn't hear you are you
21:21 talking a human services element as a
21:23 critical factor as well I think it all
21:27 goes together I think ardent and Human
21:30 Services and the right housing and
21:34 safety and security letter bring out the
21:37 human services also a critical element
21:39 yeah everything is right right and
21:43 they're all connected you know they're
21:44 all hadn't acted and I think that each
21:45 one of the sections of the of the plan
21:49 covers some part of it but it all has to
21:52 go together right that's Trish's job I
21:54 guess
21:55 yeah okay zeg way well thank you very
21:58 much like you know like John go yes all
22:01 right that is easy guy thank you very
22:02 much for having us here too and we'll
22:04 see you again in October with some
22:05 updates okay thank you okay well now the
22:12 cultural elements which has no GMA
22:15 requirements which didn't bother
22:18 issaquah at all because we chose to have
22:21 an element anyway like we did we had an
22:23 economic vitality element before it was
22:26 required we also had the Human Services
22:29 element before it was required so we've
22:32 sort of been on the leading edge for a
22:33 long time with with how we feel about
22:35 the community and this is one example
22:39 I'm going to if you have questions about
22:42 this as I said Joan is on the Arts
22:44 Commission and she and the Arts
22:46 Commission have discussed all of these
22:47 topics so she'll be able to help us dig
22:50 down into some of these if we don't
22:52 completely understand where they're
22:53 coming from we all know why the cultural
22:56 events and pieces and parts of our
22:59 community are important part of its the
23:02 sense of place that we get from our
23:04 history and from what we're doing now
23:06 and the people that have come before us
23:07 and the pioneers and the governor even
23:11 and it's just we have a lot of resources
23:14 here that are cultural and artistic and
23:16 we wanted to capture that in this very
23:19 short but very important element the
23:23 vision is to use those arts and culture
23:25 that we have to enrich our quality of
23:27 life we recognize that art comes from a
23:30 lot of different venues a lot of
23:32 different ways that we can foster that
23:34 culturally rich and diverse community
23:36 from people to places to events to you
23:41 know the whole gamut of things and we
23:42 try to capture that here to make sure we
23:44 don't lose anything the first one is
23:47 cultural vitality to support all the
23:51 opportunities that can strengthen what
23:52 we have and what we're going to have and
23:54 what we hope to have we talked about
23:57 community involvement is big maintaining
24:00 and having a diversity of public art
24:03 through a lot of its through the arts
24:05 program the Arts Commission
24:06 and encouraging festivals and events
24:08 that Paul mentioned that to get all the
24:11 the people to the events and to to sort
24:14 of have that community feeling around
24:16 something as exciting as the salmon
24:18 coming home that's the that's the first
24:21 one any questions on the first so i know
24:24 i've read this but it seemed shorter
24:27 when i read it then when you put it up
24:29 on on screen did I add so you have three
24:33 different we have three different things
24:35 in there and maybe it should just be
24:38 support opportunities that syringe that
24:41 called cultural vitality and then the
24:43 other ones will be more specific
24:45 underneath as a waiting to do that I
24:49 moaning and providing okay because the
24:52 Phillip somebody else has some I've got
24:54 a slight quarrel with one of the words
24:56 we use public art I think it should be
24:58 public arts programs because art is more
25:04 than it's more than statues in artwork
25:07 it's all of the arts and I think that's
25:10 what needs to be emphasized okay okay I
25:15 think that's what we were getting at but
25:17 um it doesn't is that you were it was a
25:20 it was all in comes out art program
25:23 encompasses everything but if if you
25:26 feel that it needs to be more specific
25:28 than will certainly consider it yeah I
25:31 do a reverse public art program I think
25:35 growing diverse public the diverse arts
25:38 programs is what i'd like to see Oh
25:40 without the public well just well arts
25:43 and so art itself tends to lend itself
25:46 to just thinking of a painting whereas
25:48 arts encompasses all the arts i think is
25:51 what racing okay and keeping public
25:54 though I may be public and in private
25:58 and private so I think just arts as many
26:03 of the businesses that we're encouraging
26:05 our arts-based okay does that mean how
26:11 does that ring would they had this
26:13 discussion for years about getting
26:15 businesses involved in putting art in
26:19 there
26:19 buildings and I mean that's kind of what
26:23 we looked at when we said public art
26:25 program was to integrate with businesses
26:28 since this is an ultra cultural program
26:32 so it's there but we can change anything
26:37 you want can we say something about the
26:41 public arts program and how you reach
26:43 out to private entities where their
26:47 businesses are to try and get it
26:50 everywhere just public in private art
26:53 program okay yes yeah yeah okay and and
27:05 under under policy a one the well I
27:09 agree the promote promoting patronage is
27:12 important I'm not seeing anything about
27:15 preserving the artistic cultural and
27:17 historical programs and venues so yeah
27:20 proposed word wording I think would be
27:22 promote and preserve is a clause
27:25 artistic cultural and historical
27:26 programs and venues to provide cultural
27:29 opportunities to residents and visitors
27:36 the last section was written by the
27:38 historical society so that kind of
27:40 encompass little Beth and I oppose
27:43 American you oh ok ok ok
27:52 I definitely agree it's one of the
27:53 reasons I moved here no we're not
28:01 getting older no we're not getting older
28:03 I'll state of mind and how far ahead
28:06 would you move it to why don't we get to
28:10 okay and then we'll decide where to move
28:12 it okay can we move to be or we still
28:17 have questions and comments on a okay
28:23 going once B is very short preserve and
28:28 enhance the natural and physical
28:29 environments that reflect is so cause a
28:31 unique sense of place and this talks
28:35 about it's incorporating public art and
28:40 city capital improvement projects
28:41 studying passable new incentives for
28:44 developers to increase integration of
28:46 art into private buildings promoting
28:48 public art and parks urban trails public
28:50 spaces community infrastructure and
28:54 providing opportunities for artists and
28:56 design professionals involvement in
28:58 review and early design phases of
29:00 community facilities questions or
29:03 comments on that one any addition I'm
29:09 thinking in terms of promotive promoting
29:13 and encouraging the maintenance of the
29:16 history and the I'm trying to find the
29:21 words to to express it but what is
29:23 issaquah and all of downtown ozark was
29:26 an example but to encourage in an
29:30 architecture and everything else
29:33 maintaining that feel that culture that
29:36 that makes us unique that's again know
29:39 when that last is that the last historic
29:42 resource protection it's kind of spelled
29:45 out in that no I'm thinking beyond that
29:47 I'm thinking in terms of you excuse me
29:49 thinking in terms of development in
29:51 terms of architecture in terms of we've
29:55 we've got a long term plan and I'd like
30:00 to see the
30:02 the architectural standards encouraging
30:05 what is this a quat rather than just
30:09 seeing vertical factories the vertical
30:13 warehouses or whatever you want to call
30:15 these nondescript glass buildings i
30:18 really have no no real identity and no
30:21 real culture turn your turn your
30:40 microphone Oh did anybody not hear what
30:43 I said I think what you're referring to
30:46 goes more to a development type approach
30:49 I think it's a goal in terms of
30:51 preservation preservation of the
30:54 identity of this well I agree with you
30:55 but I'm not sure they're Jermaine to
30:57 this section that's all I'm saying yeah
30:59 and agree and I think I understand the
31:04 concern there and I I think it might be
31:08 a small blurb might fit as a policy
31:11 under the historic resource protection
31:12 so you know policy that would make the
31:15 historic resource protection also
31:16 perspective to maintain that historical
31:19 feel I'm not sure where it belongs I
31:22 just want to make sure it's emphasized
31:28 so I have a question about just the goal
31:31 what physical environments what does
31:35 that mean I mean I mean I know natural
31:40 environment but natural and physical it
31:42 usually I'd I use the term built
31:45 environment I don't know if it's the
31:46 same thing if that's what its meaning I
31:50 would guess I wasn't in the discussions
31:53 but i would guess that's what it means
31:54 is the this is if this is not just what
32:00 the art community the Art Commission can
32:03 do this is a bigger plan than than that
32:07 and so enhance the natural physical
32:11 environments is basically putting art
32:13 and
32:14 making it something people can
32:18 appreciate and and incorporate art into
32:22 it I guess so so reading down in the
32:25 policies when it says like get it into
32:27 the buildings in the architecture kind
32:30 of that's what I kind of think about the
32:31 built environment so that's right I
32:34 doesn't I mean it's not a big deal
32:36 physical or built environment but just
32:41 anyone else have a either way they would
32:44 rather it's a built environment and
32:46 physical environment
32:57 look at that anything else on that one
33:03 cultural education which we talked a
33:06 little bit about when Jen was here
33:08 promote and support the arts and
33:10 programming essential to quality
33:12 education through partnerships with
33:14 public and private is claw schools arts
33:17 organization artists and the community
33:19 and this is again making sure that that
33:24 we have it at all levels are there
33:28 questions on this one
33:38 okay this has a bit of a c2 is um has to
33:42 do with the the past as well so this has
33:45 a little bit of the historic piece to
33:46 them to make sure that our art is
33:50 there's an understanding of our past the
33:55 next one is cultural facilities identify
33:58 short and long term arts and culture
34:00 facility needs and priorities and
34:02 develop methods to meet the needs this
34:08 would be okay encourage the development
34:14 of community accessible studio workshop
34:16 and exhibition spaces for arts culture
34:19 and heritage exhibition strengthen
34:22 incentives for developers and builders
34:23 to incorporate studio workshop and
34:26 exhibition spaces into mixed-use design
34:29 inventory what we have for cultural
34:32 facilities did you have a much of a
34:37 discussion on this as far as do we have
34:39 a lot no we didn't have a lot that's why
34:42 we have to encourage all of these
34:43 organizations come to the Arts
34:45 Commission and says you know where can
34:47 we put on our festival or our music
34:51 presentation and we don't have any place
34:54 in issaquah or very few ok so it's an
34:57 ongoing thing of maybe new buildings can
35:01 be incorporated where they have a larger
35:04 space where a symphony can perform ok in
35:08 that pain issaquah high school when it
35:11 was rebuilt and they built the
35:12 performing a nota torium it was built as
35:16 a performing arts center and I don't see
35:19 it being utilized that way at all I
35:21 really would like to see as a goal to
35:23 employ a full-time executive director to
35:27 get that place booked for concerts
35:29 recitals and fully utilised I think it
35:33 should be utilized every weekend for
35:34 something and i think it's a it's a
35:36 moneymaker for the city it could be if
35:39 we attract the right kinds of people i'm
35:41 thinking in terms of what bottle has
35:43 done what kirkland is done and we have
35:46 the facility we have the Performing Arts
35:48 Center that's the way it was built that
35:50 would that's why I was told it was in
35:52 it's not being used that way it we try
35:56 to use it we do use it as at the for the
35:59 film festival and we there's it is in
36:03 part of the school it doesn't belong to
36:06 the city and the school uses it
36:08 consistently for their programs and
36:10 there's very little time to it is used
36:14 all the time it just happens to be part
36:17 of the school district their plays there
36:20 yes that's not a facility that's an
36:21 option it's an option true but we try I
36:26 know that the symphonies go up there and
36:28 say hey can we use it and there's you
36:30 know you can use it on the twelfth
36:32 Friday of the month of whatever but then
36:35 like last year we were called and said
36:38 you can't have your film festival that
36:40 day because we have a basketball
36:43 tournament coming in and so you know
36:46 it's not an easy place to book for the
36:50 community I realized that but I'm
36:52 thinking in terms of the original intent
36:53 when it was built away it was sold to
36:55 the community was sold as a performing
36:58 arts center and it's not being utilized
37:00 that way yeah and the other the other
37:03 thing I'm thinking of their other
37:04 resources that are underutilized and
37:06 again they're private they're not public
37:08 like village theater there are five
37:10 performances a year but it's dark a good
37:13 portion of the year because it's not
37:15 being utilized and perhaps that could be
37:18 utilized in partnership with with the
37:22 Felicity and a foundation or whatever
37:24 it's called that runs it could that be
37:29 part of the parent no these are examples
37:31 again there may be others and I think
37:33 you know going to that it may warn a
37:36 change to a cultural policy d2 right now
37:38 its established an organized network of
37:40 cultural organizations and available
37:42 facilities to better match space with
37:44 needs and perhaps better working would
37:46 be established partnerships between
37:48 cultural organizations and available
37:51 facilities to better matter space with
37:52 needs very good
38:03 partnerships with or partnerships
38:05 between jay is there a bit partnerships
38:08 between or among organizations the
38:11 facilities between sometimes only means
38:14 to so maybe among with a wreck better
38:17 another thought occurs to me if if the
38:21 the issaquah facility the school esqui
38:25 high school facility is not going to be
38:28 available maybe we ought to be thinking
38:29 in terms of developed funding for a true
38:32 cultural art Performing Arts Center as
38:35 part of issaquah that's a long term goal
38:38 i realized that but it's something that
38:41 would certainly be attractive to
38:43 businesses and the residents but if we
38:47 had a true Performing Arts Center it has
38:51 been a goal of the Arts Commission for
38:54 as long as I have been on the Arts
38:56 Commission that all 12 years I agree
38:59 with you yeah I was not need something
39:01 like that I think we ought to state it
39:04 as part of our cultural gold as well as
39:09 the arts goal the Arts Commission go
39:11 make that a yeah and Jones since you
39:16 know this probably all of the separate
39:17 policy under Goldie or does that go back
39:20 to the economic vitality go um it's one
39:26 of those both you know it's like I think
39:30 community events it's kind of work
39:31 involved needs could go under yeah
39:35 facilities that could go under there
39:37 Barry one that we're talking about or
39:38 another sao paulo cd45 okay so out of
39:44 curiosity if it's been on the
39:46 commission's minds for 12 years what's
39:50 why not money and a place to build it
39:54 money first and then you get the place
39:57 then you get the money to build it I
39:59 mean as it then put on to the capital
40:03 no it's covered under Goldie I mean it
40:11 says identify short and long-term needs
40:13 and try to do this so that's something
40:14 that I mean you're saying there but the
40:17 question is how specific do you want to
40:18 beat would that be more in the policy
40:20 below that to say work towards that but
40:23 I mean that concept is right it's
40:26 covered by government by that goal and
40:28 that that would be a you know a specific
40:30 thing to do that Michael under
40:32 validation rather than just polish not
40:35 something I want to put in here
40:36 obviously it's too specific but i'm just
40:38 getting curiosity or it could go in the
40:41 discussion to that that's one for
40:43 example of something that has been
40:45 identified that you that you'd be
40:47 working towards through this element but
40:49 it wouldn't actually be laid out on a
40:51 policy but it would be in the discussion
40:52 that might feel it was in life because
40:55 we haven't filled in the discussions yet
41:02 so i'm going to put mentioned performing
41:04 arts okay center in the discussion I
41:07 have a five-year-old daughter that plays
41:09 the violin so unlike five years she's
41:12 going to be needing to squeak somewhere
41:14 else besides my living around good luck
41:16 with that anything else on this one
41:22 really good discussion it's really good
41:26 communications and awareness provide
41:29 information about and expand public
41:30 awareness of its cause arts culture and
41:33 heritage programs and activities and
41:35 their value to the community I would end
41:40 that programs activities and facilities
41:53 okay good
42:02 anything else on this one
42:07 okay I've enjoyed I don't know if you
42:10 guys have all subscribed to the think
42:13 it's almost weekly there's an email that
42:14 comes from the city that has all the
42:16 things that are coming and it has little
42:18 videos attached to it and some of those
42:20 like the water park day I just started
42:24 laughing watching the video of that I
42:26 had no idea there were that many kids
42:28 out there getting you know with the fire
42:30 hose and just I thought wow I really
42:33 missing a really good time so I think
42:35 that's a really good way of getting
42:36 folks aware of what's going on in town
42:41 funding always a big piece of anything
42:44 that the community is hoping for provide
42:46 a city managed grant program through you
42:49 the municipal arts fund to support arts
42:51 and culture programs and events in and
42:53 for the community and go right now this
42:57 the Arts Commission gets a half a
43:00 percent of the movie ticket price so
43:06 every year we're able to hand that out
43:08 to the various organizations about how
43:12 much is that dollar wise um anywhere
43:14 between 110 and 130 thousand dollars and
43:19 that's just from movie ticket revenues
43:21 capital of personality yeah that was
43:24 before the new movie theater opened up
43:27 that was before we had to so we're
43:29 hoping that we are able to support more
43:32 organizations issue and what do you use
43:35 for when you buy art what's the funding
43:39 that you use for that you know when you
43:40 actually get to buy a piece like the
43:42 council chambers money comes in and it
43:46 we have our grants we have to pay our
43:52 advisor and then we put away some to be
43:56 used for sculptors and other big
43:59 projects in the city like the we're
44:03 planning to put a new sculpture in some
44:07 of the roundabouts and we have new
44:10 things going in in different other
44:13 places in the city so we put that money
44:15 away and so when we get the money then
44:16 we go out and find an artist
44:18 and the city the council has to approve
44:21 it and then we get all excited and get
44:24 to put a new piece into the city my only
44:28 recommended change would be to the
44:29 policy under that just says provide
44:32 municipal funding for activities i would
44:34 change out to activities and programs
44:39 start again are you an e-1 or you to
44:42 improve Oh in the wrong for f1 sorry
44:48 provide 4x4 programs in activities uh
44:52 yeah for activities and programs or
44:54 programs and activities okay and I'm it
45:02 same a similar note Joan went up a
45:05 bigger project comes in they have to
45:07 provide some art like when the
45:09 interchange went in and those orange
45:11 just right if it's a city project right
45:15 only if it's a city project okay because
45:18 I know on the bridges we have the on the
45:19 new bridges we have the salmon the
45:21 bronze or some other metal than is in
45:25 the bridge with the date that it was um
45:27 I think all the city halls have some
45:30 well that came with that came with a
45:33 bridge fund yeah that we had to provide
45:35 some kind of art there's heart of
45:37 there's also some art that was put into
45:39 the what's a call with a cars park oh
45:44 the park and ride yeah parking right but
45:47 I mean we had a hand in picking it but
45:49 the money came from building the mystery
45:54 solved oh yeah most transportation
45:56 funding thing well I'd end federal most
45:59 transportation funding comes with up to
46:00 one percent share it can be put into art
46:03 in a new transportation facility that's
46:05 where the park and rides and those can
46:06 can put artwork in and that's part of
46:09 the just consider for the construction
46:10 funding yeah what's just trying to add
46:15 that we're trying to get art through all
46:17 the different venues that we can some of
46:19 it through the Arts Commission and some
46:21 of its just developers or the city has
46:22 to provide in their projects city
46:24 provides the funds but it comes through
46:28 the Arts Commission and we usually are
46:31 part of planning the process of what it
46:34 is in getting the artist to provide it
46:37 like we did on the side of the far state
46:40 new fire station that orange and yellow
46:43 thing that's on the side that gets lit
46:45 up at night that came when cause of
46:48 right it son ok because and was that you
46:53 guys that did that they're like irises
46:55 right by the one in the highlands yeah
46:58 ok I think those are fabulous that was
47:01 that was bought from yes we we used to
47:04 have a program where we bring in 10
47:06 different sculptures a year and rent
47:08 them for a year and we decided it was
47:11 more economical to actually buy one that
47:13 everybody liked and so we stopped that
47:17 program because we had to pay for the
47:19 person who did the work so we are trying
47:22 to find more art pieces that the city
47:26 can appreciate you and while you guys
47:30 involved in the murals when they talk
47:33 about a mural committee was that part of
47:35 the Arts Commission that was you know
47:37 that was a long time ago was before I
47:39 was on the Arts Commission song I know
47:41 we were involved in the the rocks that
47:44 are at the hatchery the big art rocks
47:49 that had the history of the fish on
47:51 mm-hmm so that money a lot of it came
47:54 from the Arts in fact I think all of it
47:56 came from your asking ok I figured while
47:59 we're on this topic we should all learn
48:00 a little bit more of where all of our
48:02 good art comes from and where hopefully
48:04 a lot more will come in the future
48:05 because I think you guys have done a
48:07 really good job so you were talking
48:09 about funding different programs 130,000
48:15 every year goes to we set aside money
48:18 for every school to apply for a grant so
48:22 that every school gets some money for
48:25 their art program we have the cocl the
48:30 issaquah singer is a ceramic Symphony
48:33 that you know all of these people come
48:35 to us and we provide support for all of
48:37 them so the city does not us I mean
48:44 that's I think that's good to know it's
48:47 fun anything else on this one just one
48:50 little more information on that so 130
48:52 you think goes to those things to
48:54 actually support performing groups and
48:57 events schools get some and then you're
49:00 talking about something to go as a
49:01 sculpture you know or some sort of art
49:03 piece purchase and installation is those
49:05 are like your main areas or anything
49:07 else well we support the main stage of
49:10 salmon days we support the concerts in
49:14 the green we support half of that kawana
49:18 space for the other half they raise the
49:21 money for that so I mean it's if you
49:23 look at it's like 30 different
49:24 organizations that are funded through
49:26 the Arts Commission great to nope thank
49:30 you and then this is the historic
49:34 resource protection that help to protect
49:37 historic resources to enhance the city's
49:39 quality of life unique sense of place
49:41 and economic vitality this talks about
49:44 the treasures that we identified and
49:48 council adopted or identified the first
49:52 30 I think of a list that was a lot
49:54 longer than 30 but I think they stopped
49:56 I think like Harvey Manning was 32 or 33
50:00 and they didn't want to have a person on
50:02 the treasures to protect because they
50:04 knew that you know in the long run they
50:06 weren't going to be able to protect
50:07 Harvey Manning rest his soul so they
50:10 just approved they just recognized the
50:12 first I think it's 30 and they're in the
50:13 comp plan as a Quattro jerz but that's
50:16 mentioned in this and a lot of the other
50:18 really neat things that we have and now
50:21 that you've gone through them all where
50:23 would be the proper place for this one
50:25 cluster the tub yes if I might suggest i
50:28 think the cultural goal G historic
50:32 resource protection is just as important
50:34 as our goal a the cultural vitality so I
50:39 would suggest to be at least be okay
50:42 second section anybody they go hand in
50:45 hand I think hey anybody go with Brian
50:48 NBD yeah I'd concur with that okay
50:52 okay excellent that was easy and and I
50:55 do think you know i would like to kind
50:58 of echo raised concern at a policy under
51:01 G to include kind of a prospective look
51:04 as to historical element in terms of I
51:07 know this was to address in our
51:10 development portion but making sure that
51:13 it's also addressed in the cultural
51:15 portion that any new efforts maintain
51:18 the historic look and feel to the extent
51:22 appropriate I'm not sure where to place
51:29 it under but I could visualize as
51:33 promoting a lot more of what we offer as
51:36 a for instance we have art all over the
51:38 city statuary and so forth how about a
51:41 directory pointing to residents as well
51:46 as visitors as to where all of the all
51:49 of this beautiful art is maybe an art
51:52 and funny you should mention that haha
51:55 you have something like that we the Arts
51:58 Commission sat down in their retreat and
52:00 we came up with our are where we wanted
52:03 to direct our limited amount of time and
52:07 one of the things is putting together
52:09 some videos which we're going to be
52:11 putting on channel 21 we're already
52:16 started getting the videos put together
52:18 so hopefully soon but it has to be you
52:22 know we want to get everything so the
52:24 the things that we promote our
52:27 throughout the year and so we're trying
52:30 to get them put together so we can
52:31 probably more delivery we have to we
52:34 have to start using the technology that
52:36 we have and promote ourselves that's in
52:38 it that's absolutely but even beyond
52:41 that many multimedia many things
52:44 brochure that says oh that just
52:47 describes art in issaquah where it's
52:51 located already have one good great
52:54 that's where we doing it but we already
52:56 have one because we have new pieces and
52:58 I think what you're talking about Ray
52:59 really fits in isn't a specific
53:01 implementation to policy e one where it
53:03 does talk about promotion
53:05 through information technology through
53:07 print media and so that might be a good
53:09 implementation in multimedia yeah
53:13 utilizing all various aspects of media
53:17 yeah I can see those being on those
53:19 weekly emails to to get them out to
53:22 people to say you know you should see
53:24 this this week or you know when the
53:26 colors are changing you know the ones
53:27 that are near hiking spots and that
53:30 would be really need to do and are you
53:32 working with like someone from the city
53:34 like Warren for the big ones and Tim the
53:37 excellent Tim thought they'd taken
53:38 pictures you'll see him walking around
53:40 hello so hopefully I'll put it together
53:43 soon and actually going back to cultural
53:46 goalie this just hit me I did some of
53:49 those historical and cultural tours of
53:51 issaquah mm-hmm and that may weren't
53:56 updating policy e 1 to include
53:58 educational programs specifically as a
54:00 method of promotion so you'd put that
54:09 marketing tool such as information
54:11 technologies print media and education
54:12 and other educational programs Oh up in
54:16 the first part and okay
54:23 anything else nice
54:28 okay i'm looking forward to to seeing
54:30 what pictures yeah guys come up when you
54:33 put it up because there's there's some
54:36 really neat ones that could go in now
54:38 one question I did not ask about the
54:43 first presentation how much of that was
54:46 actually in the original economic
54:52 vitality plan um you know pieces and
54:55 parts of it were they took out the quote
54:58 unquote which I guess was one of my
55:00 personal favorites was the very first
55:02 goal was quality of life and we tried to
55:05 describe it that it was it was schools
55:08 it was that your natural environment it
55:11 was your you know safe and you know it
55:13 we tried to quantify because everybody
55:14 talks about it but there's no definition
55:16 so that was the first goal was to try to
55:18 quantify that it's all of these things
55:20 and they all have to be at a high level
55:21 and I think they kind of put it in
55:24 different places but they don't actually
55:26 use it as the defined term that we did
55:29 before they don't talk as much about
55:32 there's a whole section now about making
55:34 sure that your development review
55:35 process is updated annually and make
55:39 sure that it's consistent with what the
55:40 applicants are asking for and that
55:43 you're streamlined and I think they made
55:44 that because we've made so many
55:46 improvements in our development review
55:48 process I think they've they've even
55:50 streamlined the goal that it were just
55:51 supposed to you know work with
55:53 applicants to make sure that you know
55:55 we're working together and so that
55:57 part's a lot smaller as well those were
55:59 the biggest pieces that I that I noticed
56:02 were you know shorter and sweeter than
56:04 in the existing I can send out the
56:06 existing if you wanted to see it but
56:08 when we first did track changes it was
56:10 just such a mess that it was like while
56:12 we're not going to be able to read the
56:13 new one because it was just kind of I
56:15 know we changed a lot in the arts plan
56:18 and though mm-hmm so I just just
56:20 wondered I can't remember what we took
56:22 out but it was inappropriate in anymore
56:24 but right you guys have come because the
56:26 cultural has never been updated so this
56:28 is really an amazing a good rewrite its
56:31 finding any any of the comments or so
56:35 what is our next ezard's so good at all
56:38 this the next in two week
56:40 you get to see the housing element and
56:42 the Human Services element which they
56:45 have a lot in common and yet they have
56:48 some uniqueness as well Arthur Sullivan
56:50 is going to be here we were on the phone
56:53 with him again today and I said we have
56:55 eight new members so you're going to get
56:56 a lot of really great questions and he
56:59 said are they really good members and I
57:01 said they are excellent members and so
57:03 he's like how how much will I have to
57:05 tell him and said you know we're gonna
57:07 have to do the housing 101 but it
57:10 doesn't have to be the whole depth I
57:11 said because they catch on really quick
57:13 so he's excited to meet the eight new
57:15 members and to see the reigning veterans
57:19 and and so we'll have him and I think
57:22 I'm one of his assistants Michael be
57:24 here to help us with that I think even
57:25 Kristen might even be here she doesn't
57:27 been here in a while and then Human
57:28 Services will just be us and bill will
57:30 help us with that because he's on that
57:32 Human Services Commission you were so
57:34 many hats it's just wonderful to have
57:36 you as a resource on PPC but that's a
57:39 really good one too and we're going to
57:41 invite the Human Services Commission but
57:42 i'm not sure if all of them are many of
57:44 them are and he will be able to attend
57:46 but they can certainly watch us they can
57:49 watch us on TV and throw popcorn at us
57:52 if we're not following up but so those
57:55 will be two really good ones and then
57:57 you will have seen I think all of the
57:59 elements at least in some form or
58:01 another and then we'll start coming back
58:03 and filling in the pieces and parts to
58:06 get ready for the big public hearing
58:08 that would start i think in october was
58:10 in our schedule so I'm going to ask this
58:13 one more time okay whoops um the TI p is

58:18 know but just that and the capital plan

58:30 that meeting so okay just cut it out i
58:33 know it's there okay and just kind of
58:35 send it to everybody so they can because
58:37 there were so many questions about where

58:44 process is ok because i mentioned to
58:46 kristen when we were preparing for this
