Staff report:
A. Safe Injection Sites: 1. Two actions have occurred in King County that are causing this
0:16 good evening and welcome to the January
0:20 11th meeting of the planning policy
0:22 commission tonight we're going to do
0:24 something a little different and not
0:27 working on vision this evening we're
0:29 just talking about safe sight injects
0:33 safe injection sites for the city so I
0:36 think what I'm going to do is since we
0:38 don't have a anything to approve we're
0:43 going to go right to Trish and see get
0:45 her explanation of what's going on in
0:47 the city okay
0:49 why are we doing this we get this
0:52 question a lot King County has done two
0:54 things
0:55 they have a they did a plan to try to
0:59 combat the opioid crisis and one of the
1:03 ideas in the plan was they should have
1:05 to pilot safe injection sites one
1:08 located in Seattle and one located
1:10 somewhere else in King County and
1:12 they're looking for that place to put
1:14 the second pilot and so that's one of
1:20 them and the other one is the the
1:21 opposition to safe injection sites has
1:24 got an initiative on the ballot for
1:26 February to prohibit them everywhere in
1:30 King County so we have these two things
1:32 going on and so our City Council decided
1:34 they wanted to talk about this right
1:36 away and and oppose having them here
1:40 because it we don't have that that Human
1:43 Services Network for those with drug
1:45 abuse issues so September they talked
1:49 about it they talked about it again in
1:50 October of last year and set a six-month
1:53 moratorium then in November they had a
1:56 public hearing and they actually sent an
1:58 ordinance which I gave you the clip that
2:00 said they felt that we should prohibit
2:04 safe injection sites in all zoning
2:07 districts Human Services Commission went
2:10 a little further they actually had a
2:12 special meeting with an expert and they
2:15 talked about the opioid crisis and after
2:17 they did their research and more
2:19 education they wrote a letter that's in
2:21 your packet to the mayor and city
2:22 council also opposing safe injection
2:25 sites in the city
2:26 so that's sort of the process in a
2:29 nutshell so tonight what we're doing is
2:31 there's proposed code language for
2:34 central Issaquah and the rest of the
2:36 city that defines safe injection sites
2:39 community the longer name and and says
2:44 that they're not allowed in any of the
2:46 zoning districts so it's in both central
2:47 is Squa and the entire city
2:49 you might wonder what is a safe
2:52 injection site here's a picture of one
2:54 in Vancouver BC where you can come in
2:58 you have to bring in your own drugs you
3:03 can't get them there and you pick up
3:05 your little you're a little safe you're
3:09 clean needles and you're sterile things
3:11 and you pick up your little kit and you
3:13 go over into your little room and you do
3:15 your thing and there's a little there's
3:17 a nurse here that's making sure that the
3:20 you know an overdose and if you need any
3:22 help or if you want some counselling or
3:24 if you're thinking that maybe you would
3:26 like to quit or any or all of the above
3:28 there's folks there to help you through
3:30 that and they've tried them in Canada I
3:36 don't know a lot there's a lot of data
3:38 out there but I didn't delve into a lot
3:40 of it knowing that it seemed pretty
3:42 clear where the direction that Issaquah
3:44 might be going so I didn't do a lot of
3:46 research but that's that seemed to be
3:51 enough for tonight unless you guys had a
3:53 lot of questions I didn't get any
3:54 questions in email so I figured this was
3:57 enough what are our neighbors doing as
4:01 of yesterday I talked to our folks at
4:05 MMR SC municipal research and services
4:09 that we use and the list the long list
4:13 are those cities and jurisdictions that
4:15 have already prohibited safe injection
4:17 sites they got in there right early and
4:20 they said no we don't want to be the
4:21 pilot and in the process like we are are
4:25 just the three and at this time as I
4:27 said no one's volunteered to be that
4:29 second pilot site for King County any
4:32 questions
4:35 so I talked around a little bit about
4:38 this definition this comes out of I
4:41 believe King County but also the one
4:44 this is the longest one we could find
4:45 this was out of Bellevue and the King
4:47 County one that seems to have every name
4:50 that they're called everything that
4:53 could happen in one it seemed to be the
4:55 biggest net and we wanted the biggest
4:59 net legally to be sure that we were
5:00 protected against anything that even
5:02 seemed to be like a safe injection site
5:06 so that's the definition and then as I
5:10 said we prohibited them in all zoning
5:12 districts centrally so kua and the rest
5:13 of the city there any questions on that
5:16 part the public hearing is tonight for
5:22 you to review and ask questions and
5:24 ponder and listen to the public if they
5:26 have comments and then land in Shorewood
5:29 review at the council-manager would
5:31 review it in February and then our hope
5:34 is that there'd be council action in
5:35 March before the moratorium before the
5:38 moratorium on safe injection sites not
5:40 the other moratorium this one is over in
5:44 March the end of March are there
5:48 questions on the process just to be
5:50 clear the council just recommended it
5:53 they did not vote on it right it's an
5:57 odd it's a great question it's in the
6:00 ordinance the ordinance is direct staff
6:04 to write it this certain way and that's
6:06 why I put that in italics in your staff
6:08 report because I've never seen that done
6:12 before not that I've seen everything but
6:14 to me it was very interesting to have
6:16 specific language directed in an
6:19 ordinance that's actually setting a
6:21 moratorium but I'm sure it's fine
6:24 because it went through the city
6:25 attorney but so that's why I pulled that
6:28 out so you all could see that that's why
6:30 this code came out with the language
6:32 that it came out with no I was just
6:34 getting to the to the point that tonight
6:37 we're just going to discuss it get more
6:39 input from the community and
6:42 gusts among ourselves and make a
6:44 recommendation to go for or against to
6:48 the City Council go to the council and
6:50 they can use that just for more actually
6:55 the opportunity for the community out
6:56 which is what this length right okay so
7:00 are there any anything that you want to
7:03 talk about before I open the on the
7:05 comment and there was one comment from
7:07 Althea she's not feeling well tonight
7:09 she asked that instead of leaving it
7:14 open the way we've done the code is we
7:17 leave the blanks open in the permitted
7:21 land use tables meaning that they're not
7:23 permitted if they don't have a letter of
7:24 review in them they're not permitted
7:26 she believes we should actually write in
7:29 in that line that they're not permitted
7:31 so I would I would give you that as a
7:33 suggestion from a fellow commissioner I
7:36 was there a difference she mentioned not
7:39 permitted or was the two words she use I
7:44 actually wrote it down she use not
7:46 permitted instead of it no hibbett 'add
7:48 is there a difference is there any no
7:51 it's the table of permitted land uses I
7:55 get you the same thing I think at least
7:58 what I took her comment Amin is leaving
8:00 it empty
8:01 maybe seem confusing to folks and so she
8:05 wanted us to actually write in that in
8:07 that column here instead of leaving it
8:09 open which to the planners means it's
8:12 not permitted because there's no process
8:13 in any of the boxes that you could be
8:15 like these right here are only permitted
8:18 in in these zones up here whereas if you
8:22 don't have any peas then you're not
8:24 permitted in any zone I can see where it
8:28 would right because this table is a lot
8:30 longer I just cut and paste it and I'm
8:31 happy to if you feel strongly that that
8:33 would be more clear to prohibit it I'm
8:36 happy to do that to have that if we have
8:38 an industry best practice already
8:40 establish where it's blank meaning it's
8:44 not prohibited I mean it's not permitted
8:46 therefore any way by default it's
8:48 prohibited right and
8:52 that in itself is satisfactory this is a
8:57 document used by planners and developers
8:58 they're used to the system keep it Isis
9:01 right because right here you can I put
9:03 the legend where it says no number not
9:05 permitted so the other table just didn't
9:08 have that it's just making changes I
9:10 want you got to change them all Wow
9:12 and it's adding more stuff to the table
9:14 that doesn't necessarily need to be
9:15 there right good point okay do you want
9:21 to open it up is there anybody on them
9:26 maybe I missed something but you tell me
9:29 why it's broken down into two amendments
9:33 because we have the central Issaquah
9:35 standards which is one land use code for
9:39 the central Issaquah but if we say
9:42 prohibited everywhere in the city of
9:45 Issaquah that includes the central zone
9:47 or central district right when you say
9:50 it that way it does but we have two
9:52 different locations that we have to put
9:53 it same with marijuana remember when we
9:56 did marijuana we had to put it in both I
9:58 don't remember
10:00 oh I think of them as the same it's the
10:03 same zip code right I mean we only you
10:07 only have two zip codes in the city I
10:09 I'm not the one to ask about zip codes
10:12 I'm not that's not my wheelhouse really
10:14 I know we have to land use codes exactly
10:17 at least split it sounds like it's
10:20 played in here as well but yeah I don't
10:22 I don't think it makes any difference
10:24 you know the city called and just saying
10:30 prohibited in the city of history laws
10:32 should be all you need to say because if
10:34 you put it in the IMC which is the rest
10:37 of the city as you see up here the zones
10:39 up here don't have urban core they don't
10:42 have any of the zones in central ok if
10:48 the city planners feel comfortable with
10:50 putting it in two places then we are
10:53 fine with Romeo a new place but maybe in
10:55 a future time we can talk about
10:57 simplifying our code system okay
11:02 physical with that I'm going to open the
11:06 public comment at 6:40 or and if is
11:12 there anybody that signed up or anybody
11:15 would like to address the issue of
11:19 injection sites if he would like to come
11:30 and we would be it's really cool because
11:33 we've come on up and introduce yourself
11:35 so this is a time for citizens to come i
11:42 watch the tennis so this is my my gig
11:44 tonight James Dennis I live up in Telus
11:48 one thing I did notice and my question
11:50 is just based on what I saw I saw a
11:51 nurse at that station and is there is
11:55 there an assumption that she would
11:56 provide medical aid so if somebody does
11:58 OD how liable would the city be - you
12:02 know well I mean how open would they be
12:04 to you know some type of litigation if
12:06 somebody od'd on a site that you guys
12:07 approve that's a great question that I
12:11 don't know the answer to but I know
12:13 that's why then one of the reasons the
12:14 nurse is there yeah well actually having
12:16 the nurse there it seems like a
12:17 liability to me because then you're
12:19 implying that medical aid is available
12:20 if something should happen it might only
12:22 be better if she wasn't there at all
12:24 saying you're you're on your own like
12:26 you know we're not responsible for
12:27 anything that happens here that's just
12:29 my thought right yeah that's a great
12:31 that's a very comment there anybody else
12:35 that would like to make a comment is
12:39 there anybody else that would like to
12:41 make a comment okay with that I will
12:46 close the public hearing
12:51 at 9:45 6:45 9:45 I'm used to lying I
12:58 know okay so so I have a couple thoughts
13:08 I guess first I didn't I'm glad to put a
13:14 list of the other communities up there I
13:16 was one question I had was what other
13:18 what are our neighbors doing and it's I
13:22 guess from my view a little shocking and
13:25 sad that everyone's just sort of carte
13:27 blanche saying no we're never going to
13:29 do this not in our backyard and I
13:32 actually sort of interpreted a letter
13:34 from the Human Services Commission a
13:36 little differently I mean they I thought
13:38 they went the way I read what they wrote
13:41 was that they I appreciated the fact
13:44 that they had somebody come and speak
13:45 and they got a little more educated on
13:46 it and and it seemed to me that they
13:49 were saying we would we wish we had more
13:53 time to learn more and maybe didn't want
13:55 to close the door completely on it but
13:56 understood the position of counsel with
13:58 all the stuff happening like you
14:00 mentioned so my my only thought is that
14:02 I I guess I find it a little
14:06 short-sighted I understand that we want
14:08 to do what our neighbors are doing and I
14:10 understand the risks and and and the
14:13 issue but I find it a little
14:15 short-sighted everybody talks about
14:16 wanting to solve the opioid crisis but I
14:19 mean then everybody takes a step back
14:22 and wants to know who's gonna do it you
14:23 know so from my perspective I mean I'm
14:25 gonna I'm planning on voting no tonight
14:27 not because I don't think there are
14:31 risks that the city would be taking on
14:32 and I think it's I'm not I'm a little I
14:35 was in my research a little underwhelmed
14:36 by the success you know that in terms of
14:39 people getting into treatment and things
14:40 like that I know that's not the point of
14:42 these places but but I think that just
14:45 closing the door right off the bat and
14:47 not at least saying hey we would love to
14:49 think creatively about this and I think
14:53 that that that would be good for is what
14:56 to do to sort of lead in that in that
14:57 capacity and the other thing I would say
15:00 and then I'll stop talking about
15:02 is that the by not including a
15:08 prohibition in the code that's not
15:10 necessarily saying yes we want to be the
15:13 pilot program correct it may seem like
15:15 that becomes the default because
15:17 everybody else is saying we're not going
15:18 to be the pilot program but I would
15:21 assume that we would still and maybe
15:24 this is a question but we would still
15:26 reserve some ability to I mean it would
15:28 go through a normal review process I
15:30 would think of some level so we still
15:32 have the ability to modify that proposal
15:35 or say no to that proposal if it came
15:36 into town if it wasn't exactly what we
15:38 wanted it to be so anyway that's all I
15:41 would say I frankly don't understand the
15:48 argument it's something that's illegal
15:51 shouldn't be permitted anywhere that's
15:54 my feeling it doesn't mean it doesn't
15:57 happen pardon me it doesn't mean it
15:59 doesn't happen because it happens
16:02 doesn't mean you make it legal and
16:04 permitted enough it and the argument
16:08 that we put it in or not put it in and
16:11 then later on we could address it again
16:14 you're just kicking the can down the
16:16 road we just tell people it's not
16:18 permitted in a so well done deal
16:24 well I also read the letter from the
16:29 Human Services Commission a little bit
16:31 differently than I thought was
16:34 characterized I think it does say in the
16:36 middle of the letter
16:37 it's akua's likely not an appropriate
16:40 location for safe injection site but it
16:42 also has a lot of other important points
16:46 it's it talks about the opioid crisis
16:51 and that we could have more space for
16:54 education around this issue I think that
16:58 the Human Services Commission by having
17:01 an expert come and speak to them I think
17:03 I thought is a very valuable thing to do
17:05 and I think it's good that we have the
17:07 opportunity to also speak with the
17:09 public about it
17:10 but I would have liked I think more
17:13 information I understand the argument
17:17 that it is illegal but I also understand
17:20 that a lot of people overdose and this
17:23 does seem under certain situations to
17:27 save lives or to prevent overdoses so I
17:31 think that there could be more room for
17:32 education about it and that was actually
17:35 what I took from the Human Services
17:37 letter although I also respects their
17:40 their finding that they do not think it
17:42 is appropriate I think that their main
17:44 message was that there is I need for
17:48 more education around the issue so
17:54 looking back at the ordinance it very
17:56 specifically says at the beginning of
17:59 the second page whereas King County
18:02 Council voted to limit establishment to
18:05 shells the safe injection sites only to
18:07 those cities which choose to establish
18:09 such a location by a vote of its elected
18:12 governing body that suggests that if we
18:15 take no action it still isn't saying
18:19 okay your rubber stamping it can come
18:22 here so I would in response to what the
18:28 health health and Services Committee
18:31 said I'd be open to having other
18:34 discussions about that actually getting
18:37 the information on the number or
18:40 estimated opioid users in Issaquah
18:42 versus other surrounding areas and get a
18:47 sense of is this the appropriate place I
18:49 don't think it is but I don't think we
18:52 necessarily have to say no to this in
18:58 order to eliminate it as a possibility
19:09 if we approve it then we are going to
19:12 open our doors to a lot of activity I
19:15 believe because now people are gonna
19:16 feel safe I mean to Issaquah you take
19:21 care of their heroin they're up there
19:23 opioid addiction you look at Everett and
19:28 Kitsap County they're in crisis they're
19:31 actually getting emergency funds to be
19:33 able to take care of the opiate crisis
19:35 if we open our doors they will come we
19:38 do not have the capacity to be able to
19:40 handle it it would take the city down a
19:43 very dark and dangerous road though no
19:50 absolutely no way could this happen we
19:52 don't have the infrastructure to support
19:54 it it would be it would create lots of
19:58 problems theft and on that I don't think
20:02 I'm arguing that it's and I'm responding
20:04 because you're looking at me but
20:06 necessarily because I'm trying to look
20:07 to everybody fine you can stay right I
20:12 don't think I'm arguing that safe
20:15 injection sites are a good option for
20:18 Issaquah just what the ordinance says
20:20 and what we are being asked to do to say
20:24 no prohibited I don't think it's
20:27 necessary and I think it does send a
20:29 signal that not in my backyard that list
20:34 is gonna go up on all of the other
20:36 cities that are looking at this I just
20:38 don't think it's necessary
20:41 actually very necessary I also I'm also
20:45 very empathetic to people who are
20:48 addicted to opiate I have a very close
20:52 family member who is addicted to opioid
20:54 she was a very outstanding person very
20:56 smart master's degree she had a back
20:59 injury
21:00 she was subscribed an opiate based drug
21:04 the doctors pulled it away from her she
21:07 cannot get off it so she's actually now
21:10 shooting up heroin I she has a safe
21:15 place it's her home she has the
21:17 resources to be able to take care of
21:18 that
21:19 but what we're talking about is a lot
21:21 opening the doors to people who don't
21:23 have those resources you're bringing
21:27 them into our city with a big welcome
21:29 sign not good I agree with part of your
21:35 argument which is and which is based on
21:37 the Human Services findings which is
21:39 that we do not have I think I agree with
21:42 part of your argument which is that we
21:44 do not have the other resources and that
21:47 potentially other cities would better
21:48 have the resources and the network of
21:51 Public Health and also I think a mental
21:56 health components for actually being a
21:59 successful network around the site
22:03 because in my reading about the
22:06 components that are important for safe
22:10 injection sites is very important that
22:12 there is our that there are other
22:13 facilities available to people when they
22:16 go to these sites that it's not just a
22:18 nurse and a place where you walk in but
22:20 you also have other services for helping
22:23 people stop using and so I agree with
22:26 that part of the argument I found in my
22:31 reading that there is not a lot of
22:34 evidence that it does but it can under
22:36 certain circumstances pull people in but
22:38 it does not I have a quote from a study
22:42 about a lot of European cities that have
22:45 safe injection sites and they said
22:47 there's no evidence that consumption
22:49 rooms encouraged increased drug use or
22:51 initiate new users so it may not it may
22:53 be that it's inappropriate for our city
22:55 but I think that there's a lot of a lot
22:59 of Education that could be around the
23:01 potential for what it could do under the
23:04 right circumstances now I look at
23:09 Seattle and I see all the homeless tents
23:12 and I see all of the garbage that
23:17 surrounds them
23:19 and the inability of the city to take
23:24 care of that now I look at this as
23:27 something that would be similar that
23:34 people would not be not only would the
23:37 people not really be taken care of but
23:39 the city wouldn't be taken care of and
23:41 we don't have the resources to provide
23:45 help and we don't have a place that's
23:49 big enough away from enough places in
23:52 order to support anything that would be
23:54 not in the middle of the city and and I
23:58 don't see that at this time we can
24:04 proceed with this and to you answer your
24:09 question I I think that we've done
24:13 enough add enough history had enough
24:17 discussion that we know that we don't
24:20 want this in the city I would suggest
24:24 that maybe we go the other way and
24:26 provide help to and be that maybe the
24:32 first one ones of the city to provide
24:35 that kind of help for people who need it
24:37 but not as a safe injection site no I
24:42 I'm perfectly content to vote no that I
24:46 now and in the future I don't want to
24:49 see a fight here in the city I just
24:54 don't think it's appropriate place for
24:57 Seattle is is way above our liberal way
25:02 of thinking and I don't think it's right
25:05 for our community so I I think that
25:12 maybe we can you know if you don't if
25:15 you want to do something you do
25:16 something to not just educate but to
25:18 help people in the situation and a lot
25:22 of them are stuck there like bronze
25:24 relic
25:25 yeah that it would be you know something
25:29 the city could do so I am going to vote
25:34 no on this because the public feedback
25:36 has been so strongly in that direction I
25:39 just kind of wanted to bring up the idea
25:41 that the ordinance doesn't necessarily
25:42 say that we need to negate it and that I
25:47 do think we should have further
25:49 conversation and maybe the reason this
25:51 is not the end of it I think that if it
25:53 if there is some site somewhere that
25:56 actually works and does a good job and
25:58 everything is neat and clean around it
26:01 you know in the future if that can
26:04 happen maybe maybe you know you can
26:06 always change your mind you can always
26:08 change the code but for right now I
26:11 think we're all in agreement that this
26:14 is the best thing for our city right now
26:16 the reason I invited Human Services to
26:19 come tonight to let him know that we
26:21 were talking about it is so that you'd
26:22 be able to ask some questions about
26:24 their experiences and the research they
26:26 did in the presentation that they had
26:28 but none of them chose to come which you
26:31 know I understand that too but so I
26:33 apologize that we weren't able to get
26:34 anyone that really knew what was going
26:36 on with with the whole picture of it all
26:39 I just had one that I'd like to you said
26:42 Joan I'm sorry about the you know in
26:46 maybe some some point in the future if
26:48 it could look and feel and be a certain
26:50 way I think that that would be good I
26:52 think by prohibiting it though we lose
26:55 the ability to ever have that
26:57 conversation we won't ever be able to
26:59 influence that at all we won't have the
27:01 opportunity to set metrics around what
27:03 that might look like and frankly I don't
27:06 think it'll ever happen like I don't
27:08 think I don't think it's equality is the
27:09 right place I don't think it's centrally
27:11 located I don't think it has the
27:12 population or the services and I think
27:14 before you know whoever were to open up
27:18 one of those sites before they did that
27:19 they would want to have they would want
27:20 to be able to check all those boxes for
27:22 sure so frankly I don't think that
27:24 there's a big risk that it would even
27:26 happen but if we just say no we don't
27:29 get to participate in that conversation
27:31 so that's just it's still my opinion on
27:34 that this topic scares the bejeebies out
27:38 of me
27:39 this really does because I see what
27:41 happens to my my family member
27:45 incapacitated 99% of time I mean you get
27:48 a conversation for five minutes in the
27:50 rest of day and then there's scope creep
27:54 we say yes supposedly that we become a
27:58 pilot let's just say you go yes it's
28:01 actually not what we're voting on we're
28:02 voting on prohibition right but it
28:06 become it will grow into something else
28:08 it's heroin today it'll be some other
28:11 drug tomorrow and then we'll be in a
28:14 position where we will be required to
28:17 really accept it so I say no and I ready
28:22 to say that I don't ever want this in
28:24 our community I need to protect our
28:27 community I feel like that's part of my
28:29 obligation to our city of Ezek well I
28:32 need to protect it so we could have a
28:34 discussion in a different way for a
28:36 different facility for a different way
28:39 to handle this and so we would be
28:42 included in the discussion at that point
28:45 in time
28:45 now if the city has a prohibition nobody
28:50 will be coming to the city to put that
28:53 in front of Council or or us so that's
28:56 what I mean by I do think that we would
29:00 retain the ability to talk about
29:02 treatment you know and other ways to
29:04 contribute you're right about that and I
29:05 think we should and I think we will but
29:06 that's all I'm saying what I say we lose
29:08 the ability to participate in that
29:10 conversation I mean to shape what that
29:12 facility like that might look like
29:14 that's all so I'm not something in the
29:17 future could be different is anybody
29:19 else any other comments um so I was a
29:22 little bit I was concerned about
29:26 basically the arguments that I was
29:30 getting from some of this discussion and
29:33 also from the letter that since we don't
29:35 have a network in place basically since
29:38 we aren't are since we don't have
29:40 anything then we shouldn't have safe
29:42 injection sites I do understand but I
29:43 would like to see some sort
29:48 as I think John was saying some sort of
29:51 other services available in the
29:53 community because it is a problem and we
29:57 this may not be the solution but I think
29:59 that we should do something would it
30:03 help if I had someone from Human
30:06 Services or even from the department
30:08 that's their chair that you know is
30:10 their staff to talk to you all about
30:12 because I know they've been working on
30:13 things in their arena but it would it
30:16 interest you all to find out what the
30:18 city is trying to do locally for opioid
30:21 and substance abuse and ecto is the city
30:23 actually doing something or they just
30:25 talking and listening to people coming
30:28 in I I would have to verify because
30:30 since it's not in my wheelhouse but I
30:32 know that was a council goal a while ago
30:34 something that's actually out of the
30:37 discussion tonight right but you're
30:39 asking it sounds like you're asking are
30:41 there other things that the city should
30:42 be doing for locally to help locally the
30:45 opioid crisis locally if it's not a big
30:48 safe injection site are there other
30:49 things to do and I could get you if you
30:51 want it I could try to get you more
30:53 information on what we're doing at some
30:55 point time that would be nice just but
30:57 that's it's not necessarily what we're
31:01 doing but what we can do in the future
31:04 right you know I think maybe at some
31:06 point in time we can have a discussion
31:08 or this council could have our human
31:10 services or whatever could have a
31:12 discussion of maybe something we can do
31:15 a pilot project that way of you know not
31:22 in sight but doing something that would
31:25 help the people and besides education I
31:28 don't I don't know what it would be yeah
31:30 but maybe we could do something like I
31:32 would just say I don't think we need to
31:33 maybe I don't like we need to have it on
31:35 an agenda for our meeting but if you
31:36 could just let it maybe if if they're
31:39 they're gonna have something and he
31:40 could attend or and that would be just
31:42 keep us in a loop that would be good
31:43 right okay anything else are you ready
31:46 to vote what one point of clarification
31:49 the way we've been talking about it so a
31:51 vote YES is against it no it's is not
31:56 half thing I'm gonna say no but that
31:58 would be
31:59 the wrong clintus about four and again
32:02 but it's for for prohibiting them yes so
32:07 it is still right course to be fair vote
32:10 YES for the amendments it would prohibit
32:12 them assets grow fast and and you know
32:15 the council brought it back to us and
32:17 normally we can discuss it and we can if
32:21 we were so against what they decided we
32:24 could make a recommendation but that's
32:26 not I need a motion
32:31 I'm somebody I'd like to make a motion
32:33 to approve the what's the word I'm
32:43 looking forward code amendment the code
32:45 amendments concerning safe injection
32:48 sites second any further discussion all
32:56 those in favor say yes I pose no no Rita
33:04 to wasn't carrying first yeah we're good
33:07 to know I did it was forwarded to it can
33:13 you see order to so I said I thought you
33:18 okay so it's actually for it so it's
33:22 four to one
33:23 no well technically one if you're so
33:28 they can you raise hands instead of eyes
33:31 what okay there was a confusion for me
33:36 for somebody said no and someone said I
33:38 and said I wasn't sure exactly which one
33:42 of you said which voted no yeah so you
33:44 said no but I wasn't sure if it was no
33:47 against it no against the emotion so
33:52 though we are right now we are five for
33:56 no or against the most support for the
34:00 motion or two to or did we are
34:02 affordable emotion wait for the motion
34:05 against them all yeah we got it it's
34:09 still past this afford it - yeah cuz you
34:12 voted or for it okay I thought it was
34:22 then when we went back I wasn't sure if
34:24 it was good anyway okay so next on the
34:28 agenda is the yes no it's four to one
34:39 because you're an alternative no no but
34:41 we had this discussion and I get two
34:42 votes now yes it's docket you read what
34:48 is Wow let's let's have Trish what point
34:57 of clarification what we talked about I
35:01 guess wasn't completely the complete
35:04 story is we have to say in the record
35:06 that it was four to one of regular
35:08 members and because we don't need
35:11 alternates because we still have a
35:12 quorum of regular members but that the
35:15 alternate that attended voted against
35:17 the measure so that can still be in the
35:19 minute okay
35:31 thank you are you ready for the next one
35:35 yes it's been quite a week the comp plan
35:40 this is exciting this is our January
35:44 every year we do this in January where
35:47 we open up the comprehensive plan and we
35:50 put in any amendments that we've been
35:52 just hoping we can get to this year we
35:55 look at the list you all look in the
35:56 list in January we send it to Council
35:59 they review it they may add some things
36:01 they typically do they approve the list
36:04 and then we get at it and we start doing
36:07 all the pieces on the list that we can
36:10 possibly do in a year the red parts of
36:14 this slide show that even once I sent
36:19 you the docket last week the excitement
36:21 was building people started sending us
36:23 things they wanted us to also do on the
36:25 docket and this was just internally so I
36:28 can imagine the ones that you're going
36:30 to want to add so the first one the
36:33 transportation improvement program that
36:35 we do every year that's the six year
36:37 capital plan we also need to be sure
36:40 that the transportation element is
36:42 updated with the concurrency update that
36:44 should be done this year knock on wood
36:46 and also the commute trip reduction Act
36:49 some of the details in that it's a state
36:52 program some of that's been changed so
36:53 we want to make sure the numbers are
36:55 accurate in the comp plan so that's all
36:58 under 1 which is sort of the
37:00 transportation element the population
37:03 ones we do that every year that's pretty
37:05 exciting except we're adding a number to
37:09 track jobs because jobs got pretty
37:12 exciting this year when we talked about
37:14 vision that we should start tracking
37:16 jobs so we're gonna put some numbers in
37:18 the in the comp plan so that we can
37:20 officially start tracking jobs they're a
37:22 little trickier to track them population
37:24 but we're gonna do it the rezone so far
37:29 so far I love my job so far we've only
37:33 had one parcel that we know of that the
37:37 city has purchased there's been donated
37:38 or what-have-you
37:39 there may be more by the end but this is
37:41 that placeholder that any
37:44 the city's received for public purposes
37:46 we do a community facilities rezone also
37:50 if there's any changes and I think there
37:53 are from the end of the development
37:54 agreements there's some zoning tweaks
37:56 that they're doing that would come
37:58 through our process as well to make sure
38:00 that they fit into the comp plan land
38:04 use designations also transfer of
38:07 development rights was an exciting topic
38:09 when the council was going through the
38:11 end of development agreements and so the
38:14 council is asked if we take a look at
38:16 the transfer of development rights and
38:18 figure that out in the comp plan sort of
38:20 the policy and where that where the
38:22 receiving sites can be now that the
38:25 development now that the urban village
38:27 is the two of them that are that
38:28 Hyland's used to receive them how do we
38:31 do that now that they're not the
38:34 Hyland's development agreements so
38:36 that'll be a really fun discussion can i
38:38 clarify it says thing sites there for
38:40 TDRs not receiving sites right well it
38:43 would be both where they've been where
38:44 the work and where the units can come
38:46 from and where they can go okay just
38:48 wanted to clarify anything else on one
38:52 through four even with the red ones even
38:57 more on this page as you remember the
39:01 architectural design manual that you
39:03 looked at a few months ago and our
39:05 exciting 2017 there was some discussion
39:08 about hillsides building on slopes that
39:12 we need to take another swing at to
39:15 further clarify the policy on that the
39:19 policy on compact schools you remember
39:22 this one
39:23 yes you do we get to tackle this one
39:26 this year and I am looking forward to
39:28 that King County PAA we had so much fun
39:33 annexing that that we missed some of the
39:35 language in the policy talking about pas
39:37 so we have to that's just a little bit
39:39 of tweaking and the sub area map which
39:41 of that'll be that'll be a good one the
39:44 central Issaquah plan when we finish the
39:46 visions which we will do very shortly if
39:49 perhaps some of the areas are out of the
39:52 central plan we'd have to shift the sub
39:54 area boundaries and do some shifting
39:56 with that
39:57 if there's any other bits and pieces
40:00 that we'd have to do this is sort of a
40:02 placeholder to catch everything that we
40:04 might change in the like if we change
40:06 the vision the not just the district
40:08 visions but the one-liners all those
40:10 pieces would be under this item okay
40:12 it's sort of a catch-all Old Town we're
40:17 not quite done with the Old Town yet so
40:19 it made it on the list again we have
40:21 high hopes for Old Town the community
40:24 sustainability indicators which is
40:26 Appendix A in the comp plan which I know
40:28 you already know that we didn't get
40:31 around to finally making it through
40:33 those last year because the moratorium
40:35 hit us so those are on schedule to come
40:38 back to you this year and they're
40:40 they've already been finished they just
40:42 didn't make it through the public
40:43 hearing so that should be hopefully not
40:45 a not a big deal the capital facilities
40:49 element may need some updating only
40:51 because the water system plan is coming
40:54 from Public Works and when they're done
40:56 with all their policy decisions and
40:59 issues and updates and numbers then it
41:02 will come to us to incorporate it into
41:04 the utilities element in capital
41:06 facilities element does that include
41:09 fluoridating the water and the mixing of
41:11 the water because great question we
41:14 would imagine that those policy issues
41:16 would be handled at the level of the
41:18 water system plan because if you were to
41:21 ask me why we would do that and what is
41:24 involved I would not be able to answer
41:25 that question to help you with the
41:27 policy discussion it would I would think
41:30 that would have to be done by the
41:31 experts in Public Works I have a
41:33 question on an earlier one yeah that
41:36 when you have the policy on compact
41:37 schools is that as we've been referring
41:40 to urban schools is that the same yes
41:53 you're being flashed it's that it's the
42:00 same discussion that we talked about in
42:02 July and so we're still using the word
42:05 urban schools were not using really the
42:06 word well the code says compact but the
42:09 policy I guess we're sticking with the
42:13 policy that was originally urban before
42:15 the name got changed so the difference
42:20 between compact yes there is so you know
42:25 so we started talking about urban
42:28 schools and that opened a whole range of
42:32 conversations that we really didn't
42:33 intend to tackle with what we were
42:36 really trying to do with the compact
42:38 school code so we changed we rebranded
42:41 we called it compact schools not urban
42:42 schools and what you guys said was urban
42:46 schools and schools in central Issaquah
42:48 need to be more urban in nature that may
42:51 be very different than what we did for
42:53 the compact school code amendments and
42:55 so what you guys asked for us to do is
42:57 to bring back a policy conversation
42:59 about what is an urban school what's it
43:01 look like and how does it different than
43:04 just a normal school and so that's what
43:06 we're doing that's what this is it's
43:08 really to have that conversation you
43:11 guys said we need to have a policy
43:12 conversation before we can really talk
43:15 about urban schools but that's you know
43:18 and that's really kind of what I would
43:20 consider the next generation of schools
43:22 past the ones that are in the current
43:24 kind of pipe right now the next Bond
43:29 when they're actually looking for school
43:30 sites within Central Issaquah because
43:32 that's where we're putting all our
43:33 housing so it's it's I think it's it
43:37 could land that it's the very same thing
43:39 as the compact schools I think it's
43:41 gonna have some different kind of
43:43 characteristics than what we talked
43:44 about with compact schools so Keith
43:48 you're saying compact schools and urban
43:50 schools are different but the only thing
43:52 on there is compact schools
43:54 I misrepresented it when I wrote it
43:56 there we'll fix that okay there we go
43:59 I thought we weren't allowed to use the
44:02 word anymore so I stand corrected
44:06 can we go to 12 well the new 12 I'm just
44:12 trying to be accommodating the new 12 is
44:15 I'm a just mind but might be biased but
44:18 the Appendix B which I know you know
44:21 what that is is a fabulous list of
44:24 implementation strategies for the whole
44:26 comp plan most all the elements have a
44:29 list of implementation strategies if you
44:32 haven't looked at it lately it is a
44:33 fabulous list some of them are a little
44:35 outdated though and it might be a good
44:37 time might not be might be a good time
44:40 to take a look at the list and see if
44:42 there are any things that are so
44:43 outdated that we would never ever want
44:45 to do them or if there might be some
44:48 things that now that you read the old
44:49 list you might have some new ideas that
44:51 you would like to put on the list and so
44:53 we threw that on there just because we
44:56 think it's such a fabulous list the list
44:57 in fact came two years ago there was a
45:00 lot of implementation tucked in the
45:02 policies that we would be going on with
45:04 the policy and then there'd be an
45:05 implementation tucked right in there and
45:07 it was very confusing because the comp
45:10 plan is not an implementation it's a
45:13 policy document but we didn't want to
45:15 lose the implementation pieces so we put
45:17 them in appendix B so we put that on
45:19 there as a reminder on how fabulous the
45:22 idea is to have your implementation so
45:24 close to your comp plan it's actually in
45:26 the appendix so we'd like to kind of
45:29 maybe think about if we'd like to look
45:31 through the list this year we wouldn't
45:33 have to change it perhaps or we might
45:35 want to change it a lot if we have the
45:36 time questions on that one okay and the
45:40 next slide the first so someone's going
45:42 to say you have to renumber the list now
45:44 yes we do because now here's another
45:46 number 11 these start the ones that we
45:50 don't think we have time to do this year
45:52 these are being recommended at least at
45:55 this point in the process that we
45:57 wouldn't have time to do this year
46:00 and most of them have been on here for a
46:04 little bit just because since we did the
46:06 update in 2015 there's been a lot going
46:10 on so we haven't been able to have a lot
46:12 of the policy question discussions that
46:14 we would like to have look Trish yes
46:18 number 11 would that include yes 11
46:23 point 2 11 number 2 win that also
46:29 include level service for public safety
46:32 reason why I'm bringing that up because
46:34 it has police fire all of those right
46:38 isn't there conversation at City Council
46:40 level of wanting to add possibly law
46:45 enforcement and if so wouldn't that
46:47 necessarily add them how add new
46:49 officers right well we mentioned you
46:52 might remember the two years ago and the
46:54 last time we did this we had very old
46:56 level of service data and it bothered
46:59 you all because you felt like you were
47:00 making a decision on level of service
47:02 with old data and so we put a hold on
47:04 this that until we can get new data it
47:08 seemed odd to go through the motions
47:10 with new numbers when we really don't
47:12 have new numbers they can still get new
47:14 officers because it did show that we
47:16 were getting close to needing new
47:18 officers but we didn't feel it was a
47:21 good use of time and resources to update
47:23 this without any new information we'd
47:25 still be using the old budget and the
47:26 old police statistics we'd have to do a
47:33 new rate study that updates you know how
47:37 many calls for service are they doing
47:39 how many officers do we have now how
47:40 many cars and motorcycles do we have now
47:43 how much room do they have to even do
47:45 their job and then you move it into all
47:48 the statistics on how often do they go
47:50 out and you know the detectives are
47:51 different than the officers are
47:53 different than the motorcycle folks and
47:55 so it's all updated we update and we're
47:58 supposed to update them like every three
47:59 or four years but it's a little
48:02 expensive but it's a good investment
48:03 because then usually your fees your
48:05 impact fees and mitigation fees can also
48:07 go up to help pay for that extra service
48:09 that you're providing
48:10 did the council fund that in the inky
48:12 budget I haven't seen the most recent
48:15 version we can follow up on that yeah I
48:22 reason why I bring up is because I
48:24 watched the last City Council and I
48:25 thought they had requested that or made
48:28 a mention about law enforcement and
48:30 wanting to add officers possibly so
48:32 right they can still do that okay in
48:34 fact that's used that's why we started
48:36 doing this was it gives them a five or
48:38 six year out what is it you look forward
48:43 to tell them that in two years you're
48:45 going to need more officers or in three
48:47 years you're going to need more parkland
48:49 so that they can start thinking about
48:51 budgeting for that ahead of time rather
48:54 than oh this year you need four officers
48:56 and so it's sort of that rolling budget
48:59 plus service list right now if they
49:01 wanted add officers would be at the
49:09 totally do that because the I'm sure the
49:12 police chief has given them a lot of
49:14 data it wouldn't be a total rate study
49:16 data but he's probably got all the data
49:18 on how his officers are out in the field
49:21 how often his detectives are out so
49:23 often there call this does this much and
49:25 their officers can only take this much
49:27 daily and so they need more I'm sure
49:29 they have a lot of statistics it's just
49:31 not the same thing as what we need to up
49:33 the impact fee and mitigation fee rates
49:35 that then changes the level of service
49:39 so I along that idea with what council
49:45 has done related to the police officers
49:48 and those three that didn't get approved
49:50 for this year we've also discussed
49:53 school impact and mitigation fees this
49:56 year and that was certainly a
49:58 controversy so I would say if there's
50:01 any way that we could get that included
50:04 I think that addresses two of the issues
50:08 that has come up this year right and
50:12 good point on school impact fees this
50:14 chapter talks about school impact fees
50:17 as a pass-through but there's going to
50:19 be a code amendment coming soon
50:22 not in the first quarter but coming soon
50:24 to clarify the process that the school
50:27 goes through to do their capital
50:29 facilities plan and then it comes to us
50:30 and we have our population increases and
50:33 to how we can work better together to
50:36 understand each other's data how we
50:38 translate each other's data and how to
50:40 come up with a better process and a
50:42 happier ending than we did this past
50:44 year but that's in the works to do an
50:46 actual process amendment or process
50:48 tweak to help us with that oh all right
50:51 looking at the I assume the 1 through 12
50:54 of the first site is what you're
50:57 recommending to put forward what was
50:59 this number 11 version competing with
51:03 why did it get on this list as opposed
51:06 to maybe something else on the other
51:07 list because the funding for the rate
51:10 study when I when I drafted this I had
51:12 not liked yet looked in if December 18th
51:15 or whenever they adopted the budget if
51:17 they had put money and for updating the
51:19 rate studies for police and fire right
51:23 now we're doing transportation and parks
51:26 and the remaining two that we rolled our
51:29 general government police and fire and
51:34 so we didn't want to update this with as
51:37 I said with old information so we were
51:38 waiting for the rate studies to be able
51:40 to put the new information in to the
51:41 level of service but they needed to add
51:43 that to the FY 18 budget well we asked
51:47 for it I'm not sure if it I didn't check
51:49 to see if it came if we actually got
51:51 funded even if it did it would happen
51:54 this year and the data would probably be
51:56 available at the end of the year at the
51:58 earliest or something right right right
52:00 they usually take a while to gather all
52:02 the information to update it okay it
52:05 couldn't happen anyways we could start
52:09 it this year if we did get the funding
52:11 but then actually the numbers would be
52:13 available like you said because it takes
52:14 a while to do all the data crunching for
52:17 next year okay any questions about this
52:20 page this is not as exciting of a page
52:23 sadly and then the very very last page
52:27 these are also ones to work on hopefully
52:31 someday soon but maybe not this year
52:34 now I've got I got three questions so I
52:38 came up with okay based on conversations
52:42 that have happened at City Council level
52:44 and NCPC microcell sites
52:49 Lake Sammamish did all my plan and Parks
52:52 plan okay when you say micro sites you
52:54 mean small cell wireless you have a
52:56 public hearing on that 24th of February
53:01 of January right next two weeks two
53:05 weeks you have a public hearing on that
53:07 there we're drafting code as we speak to
53:10 regulate that the new industry all right
53:14 and then what about the Lake Sammamish
53:15 development plan in the park span I know
53:17 because I've heard those names beat them
53:20 around I don't know that much about
53:21 you're asking fabulous questions the
53:23 parks plan we met with them today
53:25 the parks director and and Jen and
53:27 they're gonna bring you the new
53:30 strategic parks plan it's going through
53:32 the park board right now and it will be
53:34 coming to you later on this year and so
53:37 you'll be part of that and be holding
53:40 meetings and discussing and having all
53:43 sorts of good input it's been a really
53:44 cool process so far okay I like pardon
53:49 shouldn't we add it on here the parks
53:52 well when the parks since the parks
53:54 element is typically part of the it
53:58 shoots right in but we could add it to
53:59 one of them that probably was on last
54:02 year cuz we thought we were gonna be
54:03 done last year but we can add it if it
54:05 didn't make it on there so and with the
54:10 parks plan kind of a land acquisition
54:12 strategy and stuff to complete the green
54:14 necklace I'm not sure if that needs to
54:16 be on here or if it would just update
54:19 the comp plan once we've made decisions
54:25 that might be part of the parks plan I'm
54:27 not sure that but that's certainly a
54:29 good thing to get in writing somewhere
54:32 strategy Thor drain put in Lantern
54:37 Network okay and Ryan you still had a
54:42 question about Lake Sammamish yeah I
54:44 heard discussion it was a Lake Sammamish
54:50 development plan development agreement
54:52 development agreement would that be
54:55 appropriate for this list or that's so
54:58 that's still aspirational right is that
55:02 something that would be a policy no no
55:05 it's not policy it's actually it's
55:08 actually the opposite of policy so it
55:10 would be similar to like the Costco
55:11 development agreement it's what can you
55:13 do in the park it's doing an EIS that
55:17 would oh maybe
55:19 create a an envelope of development and
55:24 activity that could go in there without
55:26 additional environmental review and so
55:29 that is it's very much project oriented
55:34 less policy oriented okay that's my
55:38 that's my expectation right now we're
55:40 gonna have some public meetings probably
55:42 over the next couple months and talk
55:46 about scoping the EIS and that may
55:48 change but I'm thinking it's much more
55:51 programmatic like turning the existing
55:53 grass soccer fields into maybe
55:55 all-weather fields to increase their
55:57 activity and potentially create maybe a
56:01 destination for like regional soccer
56:03 tournaments so if it's not on this list
56:06 and it we get to the point where it may
56:09 need to be on the list
56:10 do we just add it at that time or is
56:14 this is the docket for 2018 for planning
56:17 so the docket of amendments to the
56:21 comprehensive plan so it's not
56:23 necessarily all of the things that we
56:24 address in planning but rather what
56:26 would go into our comprehensive plan for
56:29 the city right so first let's take small
56:32 cell that might be an easier
56:33 conversation to have because I know what
56:34 that looks like
56:36 and I'm not writing it right now I might
56:37 be writing it later so that's a that'll
56:42 be a code amendment so we have a section
56:44 in the IMC chapter 18 right now 1807 505
56:48 which is wireless communication
56:50 facilities small cell and the amount of
56:54 equipment that is probably coming our
56:56 way is going is is causing the need to
57:01 relook at our potential designing
57:04 guidelines for putting those in and so
57:07 that will be a code amendment that will
57:09 come to you guys because it is a code
57:11 amendment to chapter 18 but that's not
57:14 policy it's not part of the comp plan
57:17 it's more actual like nuts and nuts and
57:22 bolts he's going back to cement the
57:26 development for like Sammamish yeah what
57:30 happened to the plan that was developed
57:32 several years ago so the master plan
57:34 from 2007 still exists this is this is
57:39 not intended to replace that I'm talking
57:43 for state parks right now
57:44 this is intended kind of as as an
57:49 evolution maybe you know so there's you
57:52 know the park is clearly a significant
57:57 amount of the park is natural open space
58:01 focused around Issaquah Creek Herron
58:04 rookeries you know fishing is a huge
58:08 thing so all of that is is still
58:11 important this is kind of moving along
58:15 the lines of the city and state parks
58:19 talking about how do we increase the
58:22 amount of activity that also happens in
58:25 the state park that's not kind of nature
58:27 oriented so so the AVP volleyball
58:30 tournament started showing up I think
58:33 we're in year four now you know there's
58:36 been the state parks also executed a
58:41 partnering agreement with REI and there
58:44 was talk about potentially doing like an
58:46 educational center so this is
58:49 this is not in lieu of what they did in
58:53 2007 this is and what else can they do
58:57 from what's going on right now so so
59:01 they've done a bunch of investments you
59:02 know they built a new bath house they
59:05 were they did a complete restoration of
59:08 Sunset Beach
59:09 there's a new huge tot lot thing there
59:14 they've got they've got permits to build
59:18 a dock and then you know they're talking
59:22 about lifeguarding and there's so it's
59:24 it's and what else can we do and one of
59:27 the biggest things that they would like
59:29 to do is to move the entrance to the
59:32 State Park so right now for all of us we
59:35 know where the entrance of the State
59:36 Park is but it's a candidly in a weird
59:39 space it's kind of like this weird weird
59:41 mid-block entrance and you know if you
59:44 were coming from Spokane or somewhere
59:46 else in the state to visit it they would
59:49 like it closer to the intersection kind
59:52 of where the Arco and I hop and Tully's
59:56 and all that is and so part of the EIS
1:00:00 and the development agreement might be
1:00:02 looking at can you move it without
1:00:04 messing up traffic so there's a big
1:00:07 traffic piece associated with this so so
1:00:10 that's what we're gonna do
1:00:11 it's probably gonna take a year it's
1:00:14 going to start with some conversations
1:00:16 with the community that's going to be
1:00:18 jointly done with city staff and State
1:00:21 Park staff so and that'll be in the next
1:00:23 few months
1:00:25 I don't know exact details because my
1:00:28 partner's are been on vacation this has
1:00:30 come a long way from the threat of
1:00:33 building office buildings on it we're
1:00:37 not nobody's talking to my knowledge
1:00:39 nobody's talking office buildings
1:00:40 no but I'm whenever two thousand four
1:00:43 five whatever they did the state was
1:00:45 thinking about getting revenue by
1:00:48 building office buildings on
1:00:50 like a - like part any other questions I
1:00:56 have a few other suggestions options
1:01:00 there so I looked through other comp
1:01:03 plan dockets for nearby cities I notice
1:01:05 that Bellevue is adopting vision zero
1:01:08 for zero traffic deaths I'm not sure if
1:01:12 that's something that we would want to
1:01:13 include Redmond has a regulation of
1:01:20 multifamily housing zoning like rezoning
1:01:23 in their current business park in
1:01:26 commercial areas so saying we don't want
1:01:28 to lose commercial parks and the jobs
1:01:32 that they provide and I know that's
1:01:33 something that's come up for us so I
1:01:36 don't know if that would get into any of
1:01:39 the other areas but the idea that we
1:01:40 wouldn't want such as sort of the no net
1:01:44 loss that if housing comes in there's no
1:01:46 net loss of jobs well that's more like
1:01:48 don't take a current Business Park and
1:01:54 put in housing there instead because you
1:01:58 have to somehow keep the jobs or keep
1:01:59 the yes okay yeah and then the last one
1:02:08 the st3 station is there something that
1:02:12 we should be doing there at this point
1:02:15 or is that kicked down I'm looking at
1:02:22 our transportation
1:02:27 I see Kristen just pop that one right
1:02:30 over to you so yeah so that's super
1:02:34 super interesting question I don't know
1:02:36 there's a clear answer so I'll kind of
1:02:38 answer it the best I can so we're doing
1:02:41 we're gonna have some conversations we
1:02:43 already have had some conversations as
1:02:45 part of CIP district visions and
1:02:48 especially as it relates to well Central
1:02:52 Valley or Issaquah Valley or whatever
1:02:54 that ends up being called at the end of
1:02:56 the day and you know I think I think the
1:03:02 next place it's going to show up but
1:03:05 it's too early to tell is so the council
1:03:08 is going to work on a strategic plan
1:03:09 this year and what I think what would be
1:03:16 possibly a very interesting topic for
1:03:18 them to include in the strategic plan is
1:03:21 putting some kind of putting some edges
1:03:26 to that st3 station like where is it how
1:03:30 are we going to treat it you know for
1:03:33 those of us that were at the Chamber
1:03:36 lunch today where the mayor spoke there
1:03:39 was a question about you know I just
1:03:42 kind of want to see what this looks like
1:03:45 and Joan said I told you so and so so
1:03:51 that piece of this there's a there's a
1:03:53 huge desire I think for that jewel to
1:03:59 land and so that we can start planning
1:04:01 around it and so it will be interesting
1:04:03 for me to see and because they haven't
1:04:05 started having those conversations about
1:04:07 what the strategic plan is going to
1:04:09 include I don't know it could include
1:04:12 that it seems like that's a giant piece
1:04:14 for us to start a community conversation
1:04:16 about and how what a better way to do it
1:04:19 then put on a strategic plan we say okay
1:04:21 in the next two years we're gonna
1:04:22 unravel this thing and see what it
1:04:24 really looks like so so I think for me
1:04:28 that's a better spot than here because
1:04:31 here I'm not sure where that goes but
1:04:33 there I would know where it would go
1:04:37 by following along my little agenda
1:04:40 there's a public hearing on approval of
1:04:43 the docket and so I'm going to open up
1:04:46 the public hearing at 7:20 7:40 and ask
1:04:54 if anybody wants to talk about the
1:04:56 docket do we have a member of the
1:05:01 community that would be interested in
1:05:05 providing us information I'm going to
1:05:17 start with with how we get to the docket
1:05:21 and I would actually like to be able to
1:05:27 understand a little better
1:05:29 Bonnie can you tell us who you are
1:05:31 Connie mark are you doing that at this
1:05:34 meeting I get confused
1:05:35 Connie Marsh I live on squawk how how
1:05:41 the information gets into the docket now
1:05:44 in the past there has been a way to
1:05:47 propose your ideas to get on the docket
1:05:51 and that's a public interface where if
1:05:53 anybody wants to have a policy then you
1:05:55 would shove your idea in and then it
1:05:58 would go through some administrative
1:06:01 review and potentially be able to get up
1:06:03 on the docket and we used to actually do
1:06:07 that with the land use code too and that
1:06:09 has sort of disappeared in the
1:06:11 intervening years and so now when I look
1:06:14 at the docket I have a hard time
1:06:16 understanding exactly how everything has
1:06:21 gotten fed into the docket and so I go
1:06:24 to all the meetings and I hear all the
1:06:25 things that are happening and I sort of
1:06:27 go well are these really all the policy
1:06:30 decisions that are happening so we can
1:06:32 understand what we're going to be doing
1:06:33 this year and so I thought we were doing
1:06:40 the shoreline master plan this year and
1:06:43 I may be well and the shoreline master
1:06:47 plan is actually in your
1:06:49 back chapter 11 is one of those things
1:06:53 for update sure line master plan
1:06:56 policies could be make changes in this
1:07:02 and then Keith over here started talking
1:07:05 about the council doing a strategic plan
1:07:08 well if the council is doing a strategic
1:07:10 plan that it seems likely that the
1:07:12 council is going to start looking at
1:07:15 policy changes in their strategic plan
1:07:19 because I've never seen the council just
1:07:23 not go up into policy when they're
1:07:26 trying to create something and I didn't
1:07:29 I didn't even think to weave it in the
1:07:34 maintenance facilities for sp3 got put
1:07:38 in to the comprehensive plan whenever it
1:07:42 got put in and I know council has been
1:07:44 chafing that somehow we have indicated
1:07:46 that we're going to house the
1:07:48 maintenance facilities for for st 3 on
1:07:52 the valley floor and so speaking here I
1:07:59 then don't understand if I feel like
1:08:02 something is supposed to be on the
1:08:04 docket does that just now because
1:08:08 somebody came up with an idea we say who
1:08:11 look here's another idea let's put it on
1:08:13 the docket so if you approve the docket
1:08:15 after I have spoken I guess you all
1:08:21 would have to say yes this needs to be
1:08:23 on the docket and then Trish were to add
1:08:25 it to the docket so it seems awkward
1:08:28 that's sort of that's the the process
1:08:31 seems awkward to me to get it to get it
1:08:33 done thoroughly the treasurer's we've
1:08:38 been wanting to redo the treasurer's for
1:08:39 many years because our town is way
1:08:43 bigger and we only have treasures from
1:08:45 our valley floor and we have via
1:08:47 Highlands we have Tallis now we have
1:08:49 Lake Sammamish State Park and so it
1:08:52 seems time is we're going to be
1:08:53 developing shortly to start creating
1:08:55 some protections of the things that we
1:08:58 refuse to loose and these are sacred
1:09:02 thing
1:09:02 in our town that shall not be harmed and
1:09:04 I would like to see that put on the
1:09:08 docket for this year too
1:09:10 as a public conversation and one last
1:09:12 one the community engagement program we
1:09:20 have no real policies for what we want
1:09:23 to see so it's hard to create a package
1:09:26 for community engagement if we have no
1:09:29 sort of overarching guidance and goals
1:09:33 and policies for what we see for
1:09:36 community engagement so I would also
1:09:38 like to see that be done this year and
1:09:41 and so we'll see what happens next and
1:09:45 just a clarification if the PPC doesn't
1:09:48 recommend the items that you listed and
1:09:52 not that they wouldn't they may you can
1:09:54 also go to Landon Shore and because
1:09:57 there's still opportunities this is just
1:09:58 sort of that in January is the first
1:10:00 time that it comes to the public for
1:10:03 their ideas so it's not the last time
1:10:05 that you could share it honey before you
1:10:08 go of all the ideas that you just went
1:10:12 through which one would you say is the
1:10:15 most important it should be on this I
1:10:19 say the treasurer's because if we don't
1:10:23 address them they could disappear
1:10:29 thank you anybody else would like to
1:10:33 talk about the festive seeing no other
1:10:39 anybody else I will close the public
1:10:42 hearing at 7:45 and open it up to
1:10:51 discussion would you I actually agree
1:10:57 with what Connie Marsh had mentioned
1:11:00 about technically all three if we don't
1:11:05 talk about community engagement this
1:11:06 year we're not gonna lose it
1:11:09 st3 maintenance yard we're gonna address
1:11:11 it at some point so that's kind of an
1:11:13 asterisk the treasurer's I think it
1:11:15 might be a good time to talk about
1:11:17 something like that aspirational put it
1:11:19 on the list and see what plaintiff Shore
1:11:21 and City Council think he of the three
1:11:27 things that how the three things that
1:11:31 that were brought up are they things
1:11:34 that you feel should be on here are they
1:11:38 part of something else are they being
1:11:40 taken care of some other way there
1:11:42 another process than been being on this
1:11:45 dock and and so for those of us who were
1:11:49 talking in the back of the class those
1:11:51 three things were treasurer's program
1:11:57 meaning engagement program shoreline
1:11:58 master program so surely master III
1:12:01 maintenance so okay so there's four so
1:12:10 shoreline master plan let's start with
1:12:13 that so we are updating our shoreline
1:12:17 master plan there is grants available
1:12:21 from Department of Ecology I think we've
1:12:24 applied for a grant Doug your m'q is the
1:12:27 planner that's going to be in charge of
1:12:29 that work I don't know that that will be
1:12:32 done in time for any kind of policy
1:12:35 outcomes to be included in the docket
1:12:39 for this year so it may actually be so
1:12:41 the work that
1:12:42 being done to update the shoreline
1:12:44 master plan in 2018 would then be
1:12:48 reflected on a 2019 dock that's true but
1:12:51 you have things on there that are right
1:12:53 2008 2019 I know nothing about that I
1:12:57 can put those on okay okay so it's it's
1:13:02 just basically a placeholder to make
1:13:03 sure that that somebody's looking at
1:13:05 them and okay okay so second item let's
1:13:10 go to the rail yard maintenance facility
1:13:15 you know that's it's a significant
1:13:20 facility but it is it is a it's a it's a
1:13:27 nuance to something else that we need to
1:13:29 talk about first right I mean once you
1:13:32 know where the station is then the
1:13:34 conversation about where the maintenance
1:13:35 facility goes goes hand-in-hand but you
1:13:38 can can't start talking about the
1:13:40 maintenance facility I mean for example
1:13:41 if the station stays within the i-90
1:13:44 right away it could be that the
1:13:45 maintenance facilities in the right away
1:13:47 as well and if that's the case I'm not
1:13:49 sure any of us super care maybe we do
1:13:51 maybe we don't but that's a conversation
1:13:53 that I don't think we are to yet and so
1:13:57 I think the first piece goes back to
1:13:59 what I said earlier let's see where
1:14:01 where the community wants to engage on
1:14:04 the st3 station and I have not heard
1:14:08 from my new mayor and where she might
1:14:11 want to start talking about that but
1:14:13 like I said the strategic planning
1:14:15 process will start unfolding
1:14:17 I think this spring and and then we'll
1:14:20 start to get a sense for what kind of
1:14:22 topics are going to be included that
1:14:23 conversation and whether the station
1:14:26 would be or not but the maintenance
1:14:29 facility is is proximate to the station
1:14:32 so those are those are I think going to
1:14:35 need to be talked about as kind of a
1:14:38 dumbell connected the treasures
1:14:44 I was talking treasures before Connie
1:14:47 was talking treasures as as
1:14:51 as being on that list now what I would
1:14:54 say though is I totally agree the
1:14:56 treasures need to be updated there needs
1:14:58 to be there needs to be a newer
1:15:01 conversation about the treasures than
1:15:03 the one that was done 93 in 93 so now
1:15:11 what I would tell you guys is to add
1:15:14 something of that caliber to the docket
1:15:18 for this year given the fact that we're
1:15:20 knee-deep in visions I don't I'm looking
1:15:25 at the staff that would have to lead
1:15:28 that exercise and I can tell you we
1:15:30 don't have bandwidth so my suggestion is
1:15:34 to not lose that and put that up there
1:15:36 for 19 and we can always slide it down
1:15:41 if 19 looks scarier than 18 but I can
1:15:45 tell you right now I can based on State
1:15:48 Park and visions and finishing up
1:15:52 moratorium things and the housing
1:15:54 strategies that we're kind of unpacking
1:15:57 this year and small-cell I mean I've got
1:16:00 a list that's this long of non permanent
1:16:03 related projects that Development
1:16:04 Services is doing adding a meaty item
1:16:07 like updating the treasures I get it
1:16:10 breaks my brain I don't know how we
1:16:12 would do that this year
1:16:13 I don't think that I don't even think
1:16:16 Connie thinks that it should be done
1:16:17 this year it's just too fast in it it
1:16:20 would be on the docket and it would have
1:16:23 a placeholder and you can as you've done
1:16:26 in many years before you've had it
1:16:28 scheduled and then you gather that for
1:16:31 the following year so it's it's an
1:16:34 interesting concept I'm just looking at
1:16:36 the visions and where we're putting
1:16:38 things and how we're developing stuff
1:16:40 and it would be nice to have something
1:16:42 that says these are the treasures that
1:16:45 we don't want to lose you know kind of
1:16:49 thing and so it kind of goes together so
1:16:51 I would like to see that up there as a
1:16:54 placeholder I don't I can't imagine
1:16:58 you're going to do it this year you
1:17:00 probably might not even do it next year
1:17:01 about Italy
1:17:02 it's on the docket and once it's on
1:17:04 there it's going to be done at some
1:17:06 point in time okay and question yeah he
1:17:10 explained the treasurer's can I explain
1:17:13 the treasurer's no because in 93 I was
1:17:16 still in Phoenix College
1:17:18 Trish explain the dressers when GMA came
1:17:22 out of the state in 1990 the first thing
1:17:24 that it's a quote one of the first
1:17:25 things this COIs wanted to do is figure
1:17:27 out what we wanted to keep so that in 20
1:17:30 in our 20 year growth management plan
1:17:32 with everybody coming to live here and
1:17:34 work here what did we want to keep
1:17:36 forever that would keep our town just
1:17:38 the way we wanted it so we had a big
1:17:40 outreach it was a great process where we
1:17:42 created a list of treasures that are in
1:17:44 the Comprehensive Plan and the list is
1:17:47 much longer than what's in the
1:17:48 comprehensive plan
1:17:49 but the council only adopted the first
1:17:53 35 I think because 37 was Harvey Manning
1:17:57 and they didn't quite know how to
1:17:59 preserve Harvey Manning even though he
1:18:01 is a city treasurer they just felt a
1:18:04 little odd having a person listed so
1:18:06 they cut it the their list off at 35 but
1:18:09 it's a great list some of the things
1:18:11 we've lost already because they were in
1:18:12 there they weren't in the city of
1:18:14 Issaquah they were in the county but we
1:18:15 counted them as our city treasures but
1:18:18 I'd invite you to look at the list it's
1:18:20 a great list of things and it would be
1:18:22 really fun to update them because
1:18:24 there's less county so there's a lot of
1:18:25 things we have now that that we didn't
1:18:27 have back in 93 that we would like to
1:18:29 keep updating and there's mist the mist
1:18:34 and the mines that are our ancestors I
1:18:37 mean it's a great list so I guess the
1:18:39 question goes is there are their urgent
1:18:44 treasures that we need to identify
1:18:47 quickly as we before we start moving
1:18:50 forward with the moratorium or release
1:18:52 into the moratorium so that those are
1:18:54 protected well I'm not it's a resolution
1:18:58 recognizing the treasures that's not
1:19:00 actually code language that says that
1:19:02 you can't cut the big tree or that the
1:19:05 mist in the mountains
1:19:06 it's protected in anyway it's just a an
1:19:09 awareness that these are the things that
1:19:11 are important to us but like Gillman
1:19:13 village is a treasure right village and
1:19:15 so we've talked about that as a trick
1:19:17 even as part of the visions
1:19:19 you know the edible landscape on Gillman
1:19:23 isn't it you're looking at me like well
1:19:26 I don't know so so so there so this is
1:19:32 this is a bigger conversation trying to
1:19:34 say let's tackle a piece of it now again
1:19:38 you have no bandwidths there's no way to
1:19:42 add anything else to my plate you can
1:19:45 make a recommendation you guys have the
1:19:47 ability to make that recommendation I'm
1:19:48 gonna be trying to lobby against it
1:19:51 because I just don't think we can do a
1:19:53 good job with it this year because we
1:19:55 have so much else on our plate but I
1:19:57 have no problem putting it up here for a
1:20:00 19 or a 20 work item my well my real
1:20:03 question comes down to I guess the
1:20:06 objective is do we have any high risks
1:20:09 sure Gilman it could be demolished
1:20:12 tomorrow but this treasurer's plan
1:20:16 doesn't do anything to protect them they
1:20:18 just acknowledges that these are
1:20:19 treasures yeah it's just a resolution
1:20:21 identifies there's certain things in our
1:20:24 community that make us us and I think we
1:20:30 need to revisit that because it's a
1:20:31 great conversation and then if nowadays
1:20:35 we look a lot more towards if we want to
1:20:38 actually have things happen how do we
1:20:40 then take actions to be successful and I
1:20:44 think that that is a conversation that
1:20:47 we need to have of that list of
1:20:49 treasures are there certain things we
1:20:50 can influence you know I don't know that
1:20:52 we can influence the mist in the
1:20:53 mountains maybe we can get a
1:20:56 climatologist to help us understand that
1:20:58 better but you know there might be some
1:21:01 actions we can take as a community to
1:21:03 make sure that at least a portion of the
1:21:06 treasures are are preserved I don't know
1:21:09 but that's a conversation we could have
1:21:14 it's a great list it was a great process
1:21:17 it really was yes it was and it's a
1:21:21 great list but there are some things on
1:21:23 it that are questionable and something
1:21:25 that we need I had one more I did
1:21:28 remember all for the community outreach
1:21:31 program so what I would tell you is I
1:21:36 don't know enough about that to know
1:21:40 whether that's comp plan policies I mean
1:21:44 so I don't know I don't know if that
1:21:48 discussion is going to generate then
1:21:51 policies to add to our comp plan or not
1:21:53 it could I know that the council
1:21:57 increased the funding for the
1:21:59 neighborhood outreach coordinator from
1:22:01 three quarters to full-time and so there
1:22:05 is kind of an increased effort to
1:22:07 improve our community outreach part of
1:22:10 that within development services is to
1:22:13 look at our construction noticing you
1:22:17 know the old white signs that used to go
1:22:19 up that said you know hey something's
1:22:21 going to all the trees are going to get
1:22:22 bulldozed on this property but as you
1:22:25 drove past it at 40 miles an hour you
1:22:26 didn't know if it was gonna be a single
1:22:27 house or a five storey you know
1:22:30 apartment building and so part of what
1:22:32 we've been talking about is how do we
1:22:34 change that to make it more transparent
1:22:36 to the community what's actually going
1:22:38 in there then we've done some tests with
1:22:42 some different projects that are under
1:22:43 construction right now and so that will
1:22:45 be one part it won't be pollen I can't
1:22:48 see policies coming out of that activity
1:22:49 but this other thing maybe maybe not
1:22:53 I don't know enough to know okay sorry
1:22:58 well are you recommending that we added
1:23:00 on to them to this list as a visibility
1:23:04 I'm not but you guys could write I don't
1:23:09 know what policies would be involved in
1:23:11 that either I don't there will be a code
1:23:13 amendment that you see I think because
1:23:15 some of the public outreach notification
1:23:17 would change if we're going in the
1:23:19 direction that we think we're going but
1:23:21 it's not a policy though it's just a
1:23:22 trying to do a better job
1:23:24 letting folks know when construction and
1:23:26 development is coming I think that's an
1:23:29 ongoing thing for you guys after you
1:23:32 hear from the neighbors that haven't
1:23:34 been warned about a four-story building
1:23:36 now you're understanding you got to do a
1:23:39 little bit more right you I don't think
1:23:43 that should be on there I think that's
1:23:44 something you should be doing all the
1:23:45 time and I could be right it's mark I
1:23:48 think it's a general discussion about
1:23:49 how the Community Engagement person
1:23:53 should be how time should be used to
1:23:58 increase public engagement in the
1:24:02 process so that would be the larger
1:24:04 conversation I would want to have I
1:24:07 don't think that probably fits in the
1:24:09 comprehensive plan no agreement I don't
1:24:15 know about you sir yeah or no so no I
1:24:19 said a quick question a different
1:24:20 question okay back to the table original
1:24:24 number 12 was is it's not proposed to be
1:24:28 on the docket and I'm fine with that but
1:24:30 I just have a question about it
1:24:31 create transportation element
1:24:33 implementation strategy that sounds like
1:24:36 something the community would really
1:24:37 resonate with at some point in time so I
1:24:39 don't really know what that is but I'm
1:24:42 glad it's on the list I get that we
1:24:43 don't have time for it this year but
1:24:44 maybe next year anything around
1:24:48 transportation I think besides the the
1:24:51 Improvement Program I think would before
1:24:55 we're thinking that's right
1:25:01 so actually I'd like to ask question the
1:25:03 commissioners of the four items that
1:25:05 were mentioned we want to discuss them
1:25:08 any further or do we want to add them on
1:25:10 as you get visibility to him well I I
1:25:16 thought that the idea of discussing the
1:25:19 treasures in some form would be nice
1:25:22 because it sounds like there's a lot of
1:25:24 there will probably be a longer
1:25:27 discussion than just one meeting and so
1:25:30 I think it would be nice to start that
1:25:32 discussion in 2018 I also don't know
1:25:40 that based on the information we heard
1:25:43 about what the list of treasures is
1:25:45 though I also don't think it's a
1:25:46 comprehensive plans amendment but I
1:25:49 think it would be nice to start the
1:25:51 discussion right and it's just the
1:25:53 located in the comprehensive plan it was
1:25:55 it was done as the beginning of our GMA
1:25:58 so we've always left it in there as I
1:26:00 think it's in volume 2 just so we
1:26:02 wouldn't lose it
1:26:04 but I'll send it to you tomorrow morning
1:26:06 so you can again read the treasures ok
1:26:10 so so with that we want to add any more
1:26:19 we're comfortable with where it is the
1:26:22 ones that Lindsay added are we adding
1:26:24 those oh because my main ideas were the
1:26:27 st3 station the regulation so that we're
1:26:31 not rezoning business Parker commercial
1:26:34 into multifamily and the vision surgeon
1:26:40 zero I'm gonna ask cristen the mobility
1:26:43 plan the master mobility plan would that
1:26:45 have something like the vision zero in
1:26:48 it it would cover it yeah okay the only
1:26:51 reason I brought it up was because it
1:26:53 was on Bellevue's docket for adding to
1:26:55 there so I wasn't sure whether it was
1:26:57 something that standard we should be
1:26:59 also adopting okay and do we know the
1:27:02 timeline for the mobility master plan no
1:27:05 waiting to get a transportation senior
1:27:08 transportation planner okay and the
1:27:10 transportation advisory board in place
1:27:12 and that's the nate'll start being
1:27:14 addressed and really that the
1:27:15 transportation 0 the transportation 0
1:27:17 like the water system plan that's
1:27:20 something that needs to be addressed
1:27:21 through the transportation group first
1:27:22 and then come to us okay that'll be good
1:27:26 for the transportation board okay we're
1:27:29 not adding anything so that one wouldn't
1:27:31 get added then is that right no I don't
1:27:35 think it needs to be out of it okay you
1:27:37 don't want to add any of the put the
1:27:40 others so we have the shoreline the
1:27:42 Community Engagement st3 maintenance
1:27:44 yard and the treasurer's and then your
1:27:46 vision zero so of those five we're not
1:27:50 recommending that we add any of these
1:27:53 onto the docket at least for visibility
1:27:58 I think for the most part we've decided
1:28:01 that those belong in other areas than
1:28:04 the Comprehensive Plan well they're
1:28:06 important things like the SD 3 station
1:28:08 location would happen with a strategic
1:28:11 plan or things with the policy on yes I
1:28:17 agree with what you said and I was
1:28:18 moving on to the next one the the policy
1:28:21 on no net loss of jobs slash business
1:28:23 parks that would be something that would
1:28:25 either go in economic vitality or the
1:28:27 land-use element we're still talking
1:28:29 about that one keeping that one
1:28:30 but you have one of those things up
1:28:35 there is you're gonna work on a number
1:28:38 of jobs right we're gonna have a
1:28:40 tracking of jobs like we have a tracking
1:28:42 of housing coming in and so I think that
1:28:45 kind of works together right there's not
1:28:48 an image I think you'll see be handled
1:28:50 by other conversations that are
1:28:52 happening again
1:28:53 it was in Redmon's docket so I just
1:28:56 there was a question though when Alice
1:28:58 came in and it wasn't a business park
1:29:01 but the little mall was taken out was
1:29:03 like wow how many jobs did we lose and
1:29:06 so I mean it begs the question do we
1:29:08 want to have something in there that at
1:29:10 least says that we're aware that if it
1:29:12 comes in I guess I could that as an idea
1:29:15 it could be presented in our
1:29:18 comprehensive plan as we value jobs and
1:29:23 don't want to work on those replacements
1:29:26 so I don't know whether that's a a
1:29:29 policy decision that then needs to find
1:29:32 a home in the comprehensive plan but it
1:29:36 certainly seems like something that as a
1:29:37 community we're having more discussion
1:29:39 around right why don't we just take
1:29:41 those five things and make a list and
1:29:46 keep them in front of us or either next
1:29:51 year or to make sure that they're done
1:29:53 or looked at just just keep a record of
1:29:57 them basically okay because I'm happy to
1:30:00 put because I agree that st3 should be
1:30:02 in the strategic plan for the bigger
1:30:04 question the shoreline master program
1:30:06 I'm happy to put that in for 2019
1:30:08 because you'll be seeing probably parts
1:30:11 of it as it comes through if there's
1:30:12 change and that applies to the
1:30:14 comprehensive plan so I think it's the
1:30:15 appropriate place right and then the
1:30:18 treasurer's either in starting this year
1:30:22 at the end of the year and then
1:30:23 continuing on into 2019 I'm happy to put
1:30:26 those on as a separate line in the
1:30:27 docket and I but I don't have five what
1:30:30 I'm when am I missing so the five was so
1:30:35 shoreline community engagement st3
1:30:37 maintenance Treasury
1:30:40 in the vision zero vision zero is gonna
1:30:43 screw up somewhere else Community
1:30:45 Engagement is going to go somewhere else
1:30:48 the shoreline st3 maintenance and
1:30:51 treasures is st3 maintenance in the
1:30:54 Comprehensive Plan it's in the central
1:30:57 plan but I think it should get figured
1:30:59 out in this treaty it should but these
1:31:01 are comprehensive plan amendment so sing
1:31:03 it goes out somewhere else right yep
1:31:06 so we're down to shoreline and what
1:31:08 buzzers which are both comprehensive
1:31:11 plan right and the policy of no net loss
1:31:13 or at least a considered so yeah or no
1:31:17 well actually yeah I would say it
1:31:20 probably belongs in the Comprehensive
1:31:22 Plan whether or not I would be handled
1:31:24 this year or not so I have no net loss
1:31:26 the shoreline master program and the
1:31:28 treasurer's you don't have to put all
1:31:31 these in there you understand that I
1:31:33 mean we're making you don't have to put
1:31:36 them all in here and they don't have to
1:31:38 be done this year as long as you write
1:31:40 and Keith understand that they don't
1:31:42 have to be landing in Keith the capital
1:31:45 facilities plan we're actually moving
1:31:47 forward with getting the data to support
1:31:50 that initiative for 2019 I think I lost
1:32:00 that brain cell over the holidays so I'm
1:32:02 pretty so it was in the department's
1:32:05 budget to fund the update of the rate
1:32:08 study I don't remember if it got adopted
1:32:10 so I need to and we were trying to look
1:32:13 on a phone but well we'll Trish we'll
1:32:16 follow up with you tomorrow and give you
1:32:18 an idea of whether or not the rate study
1:32:20 got funded if it did then we will have
1:32:23 that done by the end of the year and
1:32:24 there will be updated impact fees for
1:32:28 police fire general government if it
1:32:32 didn't get funded I need to remember why
1:32:35 it didn't get funded because I remember
1:32:36 we asked for it so I need to figure out
1:32:38 the pathway of where it fell off the the
1:32:40 funding proposal but your guys memo that
1:32:44 you said saying the city needs to update
1:32:46 its impact fees that was why it was put
1:32:50 on the request for this year and I
1:32:52 I'm at least 75% sure it got funded but
1:32:56 I don't know for sure so we will do a
1:32:59 little homework and let you guys know
1:33:01 that and if so then then the impact fees
1:33:06 need to be updated right but we were
1:33:08 upset about that last time was that the
1:33:10 last study was done six or seven years
1:33:13 ago with the treasures and and it came
1:33:18 down to we needed no new policemen no
1:33:21 new firemen and we had an excess of a
1:33:24 fire truck and so things have changed
1:33:26 drastically since that so if the level
1:33:31 of service data did get funded
1:33:34 is that still and that's on the other
1:33:37 page is that still listed as 2019 or
1:33:43 would that potentially move it up into
1:33:45 2018 it would depend on how fast the
1:33:47 consultant can get that data together
1:33:49 okay as I would say of the kind of
1:33:54 extras that would be a pretty important
1:33:56 one right to me considering the
1:33:58 conversation on impact fees and the fact
1:34:00 that we are so behind on so I'm sure we
1:34:03 have small cells helping Kristen use her
1:34:06 phone to stream data so it is it is in
1:34:10 the adopted budget so we will be
1:34:12 inserting me to put that on your list of
1:34:14 things to do because I'm sure you had
1:34:16 more capacity so we will get the
1:34:20 consultant started on that sometime soon
1:34:23 [Music]
1:34:24 yes yeah our first quarter list which is
1:34:28 a page and a half long
1:34:29 apparently it needs to at least one more
1:34:30 thing so so we will do that and that's
1:34:33 good I thought that that it got funded
1:34:36 but I just couldn't remember for sure so
1:34:40 by leaving this as number 11 well I have
1:34:45 to remember them it will be 13 now so
1:34:48 are those 11 and 12 okay first of all is
1:34:50 this in order of importance no okay okay
1:34:54 it's just on the docket then so that
1:34:57 means you have the authority or the
1:34:58 ability to actually move forward
1:35:00 getting the funniness supposing the
1:35:04 consultant is able
1:35:05 to finish their work not for yes okay
1:35:13 right all right excellent
1:35:16 and when you think of the process we
1:35:17 hope to come to you in September for a
1:35:19 public hearing which would mean all
1:35:21 their work would have to be done before
1:35:23 that so we would have the numbers by
1:35:24 then so I'm not sure we would have them
1:35:26 all but we might have one we might have
1:35:29 police done or whichever they do first I
1:35:32 just have to see how fast they can go
1:35:37 next I need a motion to approve what
1:35:42 we've just changed on the docket I'm
1:35:46 chairman I move that we approve a
1:35:48 comprehensive plan amendment docket for
1:35:53 2018 with the changes we've discussed
1:35:57 including the new highlighted and red
1:36:01 portion on this slide for numbers 11 and
1:36:07 12 and that's the new 11 and the old 11
1:36:14 being added becomes 13 into 2018 well
1:36:22 yep second all those in favor say aye
1:36:29 opposed say no motion carries
1:36:34 done how are anything else for the good
1:36:38 of the order besides when our next
1:36:39 meeting is not that I know of but I've
