0:10 to share this board uh I'd like to start
0:12 by recognizing that Jerry Bernstein is
0:15 now a regular member so we're not going
0:17 to be recognizing her every single
0:18 meeting anymore
0:20 a regular member
0:22 um you also might know another or a
0:26 smaller group
0:27 um so this might not end up happening
0:29 but you might know or whatever that is
0:31 they'll send a note out earlier this
0:33 month I mentioned that we had a lot to
0:34 get through and we were hoping people

0:38 that can't stay until late
0:40 foreign
0:43 and then that brings us to the minutes

1:13 into the white body comments
1:16 all right well we started late but we're
1:19 catching up fast uh it's time for
1:22 regular business and we'll start with
1:24 item 4A the its plan objectives is
1:30 thank you
1:34 [Music]
1:35 Maureen
1:49 good evening I am Isabel Diaz profit
1:52 signal operations engineer and I will be
1:56 presenting today about the its plan and
2:01 in particular about the space a specific
2:04 specifically about the objectives of the
2:07 its plan
2:08 just as an introduction its stands for
2:12 intelligent Transportation Systems its
2:15 Institute yourself and technology for
2:18 traffic management and operation
2:22 you will recall
2:24 um in back in April earlier this year we
2:28 presented about the its plan and the
2:34 we received the request from the tab
2:37 that we include public
2:41 Public public feedback on the its
2:45 on on
2:50 proposed
2:52 areas where we could invest in its
2:56 and in response to that we had released
3:00 nxts of an its Community survey and for
3:06 a bit that survey we
3:09 release that for over like about three
3:12 weeks out uh in our
3:16 email
3:19 and we have received 160 responses for
3:23 kits survey and we will talk a little
3:26 bit tonight we will talk a little bit
3:29 about the survey results and we will go
3:32 over the its plan goals and for each
3:37 goal we will base
3:40 um some uh of the its plan objectives
3:43 and then at the end it will have an open
3:47 discussion for each of the its plan
3:50 goals
3:55 the direction that we will be meeting
3:58 tonight is to get the prioritization of
4:01 the its plan objectives
4:04 we then the reason why we need this is
4:08 because the next step in the its plan
4:11 will be to provide a list of projects
4:15 and strategies that will address the its
4:18 objectives but before we do that
4:20 we need to make sure we have our
4:23 objectives defined
4:26 so tonight is specific question that we
4:29 will be asking the tab would be what are
4:32 the top three transportation technology
4:35 objectives that the city should address
4:37 for each of the its number
4:45 on earlier in this summer we have
4:49 released the community survey and
4:52 part of the the way that we tailor this
4:56 survey is that we
4:58 divided its areas and we had asked the
5:03 community to rank those ideas areas
5:05 where we should be investing on and
5:09 they they ranked each of the priorities
5:13 from highest and to the list to the
5:16 least important
5:19 uh put it that way um to the least
5:22 important for them uh uh for on their
5:26 each area and those areas that we
5:29 provided to the community were toddler
5:31 information
5:33 public transportation
5:35 safety at signals performance measures
5:38 and environmental impacts
5:41 and the results that we receive
5:43 D from the community
5:45 traveler information was selected as the
5:49 top priority for most of the responders
5:53 with 34 percent of the responses
5:57 selecting traveling information as the
6:00 most important one
6:02 next was safety on signalized
6:06 intersections and then performance
6:09 measures
6:11 the two areas that were select selected
6:14 as the list in the Run priority were
6:18 environmental feedback and performance
6:20 measure performance sorry
6:23 environmental impact and
6:28 public transportation
6:30 environmental impact
6:33 five percent and public transportation
6:36 uh 13 selected it as a top priority
6:41 um we will not go over more details in
6:45 the community survey results but uh just
6:48 to briefly go through
6:50 each of the main
6:54 areas that were selected as the highest
6:56 priority inside traveler information we
7:00 have given some options on different
7:03 ideas of where we could be investing
7:06 that are related to travel information
7:07 and the one that was selected as the
7:10 most importantly travel information data
7:12 that
7:13 the public selected as the one that
7:17 wanted to uh they wanted to have the
7:19 most was the travel times
7:21 and in terms of travel times uh yeah
7:26 it's the point a from 2 point B how much
7:29 time you would get uh if it would take
7:32 to get there that was selected as the
7:34 data the travel information data that
7:36 the public wanted to to have the most
7:40 in terms of traffic safety and
7:44 signalized intersection for that one is
7:47 it was a little bit interesting because
7:50 the top two were ranked about the same
7:56 percentage which was like 30 over 30
8:00 each one but combined if we were to
8:03 combine it it would be set like about 70
8:06 percent and it was related to pedestrian
8:10 um the safety has signals but combined
8:13 between the two of them related to
8:14 pedestrians and the two pedestrian
8:17 issues that were selected at the at the
8:20 most important was The Pedestrian
8:23 conflicts at signals pedestrian and
8:26 vehicular conflict and the others was
8:28 pedestrian visibility
8:30 so pedestrian safety was basically the
8:35 top priority in terms of the safety of
8:38 signal as intersections and also for
8:41 performance measures the measure the
8:44 performance the measurement that was
8:46 selected as the one more most
8:49 it should be investing on or or
8:52 going after was travel time and
8:56 poliolets travel times but not for you
8:59 so we can see a
9:02 repeatedly interest from the public in
9:04 travel times
9:07 in addition to the community survey
9:11 uh something else uh something else that
9:14 we did to be able to gather the
9:17 information for the where our priorities
9:20 should be
9:22 um was to do internal stakeholder
9:26 workshops and for that we selected key
9:30 staff member from each department that
9:34 provided their input on
9:37 is on these objectives or needs in terms
9:42 of technology and the different
9:45 departments work for the boards and
9:48 Information Technology Community
9:50 planning and development
9:52 and
9:53 City Administration as well and
9:55 Communications
10:00 after receiving the input from both the
10:03 community surveys and the internal
10:07 stakeholder workshops that we did we had
10:11 propose a list of its landlords and
10:15 these plan goals are statements that
10:18 would help prioritize the make the
10:21 priorities for the its brand
10:24 these six examples that we have
10:27 identified include improving Safety and
10:30 Security in the transportation system
10:33 improving efficiency of the
10:35 transportation system
10:38 provide accurate traveler information
10:41 the implementation of cost efficient its
10:44 infrastructure
10:47 integrating its projects within the city
10:50 with regional partners
10:52 and monitoring Transportation
10:54 performance measures if you recall what
10:58 we have seen from the
11:00 stakeholder stakeholders sorry for the
11:03 from the community surveys
11:07 these goals go in alignment with what we
11:10 have seen in the in the community survey
11:14 installs
11:22 to kind of remind what we are going to
11:26 do we are going to do to do an exercise
11:28 where we will be selecting from each of
11:32 the goals what are the top the top three
11:35 transportation technology objectives
11:37 that the city should address for each to
11:40 accomplish each of the its finals
11:47 for each of the goals we will be
11:50 preserving at least similar to this one
11:51 and I will be sharing some
11:55 papers to each of you so to try to make
11:59 it easier so we have a discussion on
12:05 probably
12:06 by wanting time
12:09 for each one of them how much to spend
12:12 we can
12:13 provide this question on what are your
12:16 top your information of the goals
12:20 maybe have a an open discussion on why
12:23 are you selecting the top three and
12:25 ideally we could get a consensus from
12:29 the top and the top three after hearing
12:32 from each other why
12:34 you think
12:36 those are the top three for each um so
12:39 you have an idea for
12:41 the goals uh as I mentioned is are the
12:45 our statements that are going to help us
12:50 prioritize
12:51 different projects in the in the its
12:54 plan and objectives are
12:58 ways in which we are going to accomplish
13:00 each one of those of those goals
13:07 maybe had a mistake in the way I was
13:11 thinking about this but we're not
13:13 prioritizing the goals the goals of the
13:17 its plan is planning to
13:20 hit all six of those goals none of the
13:22 goals we the its plan
13:24 will
13:26 address also will attempt to provide uh
13:29 to address each one of the goals
13:32 depending on the projects but some of
13:35 the goals might end up with more
13:37 projects than the others and we uh they
13:41 could
13:42 we have four ways
13:44 um one of the goals depending on the
13:46 number of projects listed for them but
13:49 what we are going to
13:51 select are the objectives the idea that
13:54 we can address each of the goals okay
13:58 skeptical that we can really hit all the
14:00 goals but but we could we could go we
14:03 could actually that was that was one of
14:06 the I I was planning on it if we have
14:09 time maybe at the end we can
14:13 select from the goals what are our top
14:16 goals that we should do case we have to
14:20 prioritize the goal between the projects
14:23 proposed
14:24 so that was yes that was a
14:27 an alternative
14:30 feedback if we get time with the time we
14:33 could get on the on the selection of the
14:35 Box okay
14:40 should I have to leave around or is this
14:42 like oh no yes so
14:47 what I suggest that we do is budget 10
14:50 minutes per goal and I think I'm just a
14:55 big believer
14:58 actually
15:00 writing
15:01 down so that when you start to hear what
15:04 other people have to say you get to
15:07 remember what it is and so this is super
15:09 helpful
15:10 um I have this in writing but I mean we
15:12 should just take a couple minutes and
15:14 you make some people may have already
15:16 come prepared that this I actually spent
15:18 more my energy preparing for a
15:20 discussion about which goal isn't that
15:22 important so I need a little to think a
15:25 little harder for just a minute but
15:28 let's maybe budget let's but let's take
15:30 uh you know three minutes maybe to uh
15:34 for everyone to just do their own and I
15:37 encourage you to write it down and
15:39 you're certainly allowed to change from
15:40 what you write down when you hear uh
15:42 others talk about it but I just think
15:44 it's helpful to actually like paper even
15:47 temporarily what it is that you think
15:49 you thought five minutes ago I can
15:52 sometimes be so heavily persuaded by
15:54 someone else that I forget what I
15:55 originally thought
15:56 um so I think it promotes good
15:58 discussion but let's just take a couple
16:00 minutes for everyone to just write down
16:01 what they think and then let's budget 10
16:03 minutes per
16:04 um so maybe starting all time
16:14 and as we go through the objective think
16:17 about how how these objectives
16:21 um these objectives are going to
16:23 accomplish each of the goals since just
16:26 the next three minutes per goal no I
16:29 think let's just take
16:31 unless we don't think that's enough time
16:33 three minutes just to to go ahead and
16:36 write down what
16:37 um for you for yourself and then we'll
16:39 discuss it for we'll budget 10 minutes
16:41 per goal
16:43 to discuss it but if you think that's
16:45 not enough time to
16:47 scroll on your paper and then we can
16:49 address that okay
16:51 we are
16:53 ranking these oh gear you're just
16:56 picking your jobs
16:58 not in any kind of right order just or
17:01 well you can if you want
17:05 yeah
17:10 the presentations that you have there
17:12 that I can see on them image
17:15 it's just not showing off on the website
17:20 you're talking about that the
17:22 presentation that's up on the screen
17:24 and I was just looking at the
17:25 presentations on here I couldn't I got
17:27 very presentation I couldn't find what
17:29 was on the screen
17:31 this looks familiar to me
17:34 did it did you guys see this in our
17:36 materials
17:38 please
17:40 so the last
17:43 link under yes it's the last the last
17:46 one on their its language
17:49 of your presentation yes
17:52 yeah it's slide seven
17:57 and the one that we are showing right
18:01 now for the goals to improve the Safety
18:04 and Security of the transportation
18:05 system are listed on each one of them
18:08 are listed on the papers that I provided
18:34 foreign
19:26 I just I thought I was the only one that
19:29 didn't already go through this in detail
19:31 so I thought maybe we'd be faster so I
19:34 think I kind of misunderstood the
19:35 assignment and my as I Was preparing my
19:40 thinking that an inside towards the
19:42 record I should be meeting the goals and
19:45 objectives quickly
19:48 the goal that we are about to have a
19:52 discussion is the first one improve the
19:55 Safety and Security of the
19:56 transportation system
19:58 and the objectives we have identified
20:01 your complete that goal
20:03 are reduced rashes impacting old people
20:07 walking biking driving
20:10 improve emergency response time
20:13 Implement and maintain its related
20:16 technology and strategies that
20:18 proactively work to prevent incidents
20:20 from the Earth
20:22 reduce the conflict between people using
20:24 different modes of transportation
20:27 coordinate evacuation strategies and
20:30 emergency responses with other local and
20:32 Regional agencies
20:34 identify and supported redundant
20:37 networks and services to to improve
20:40 emergency preparedness
20:42 and prepare signal timing plans for
20:45 special events in an emergency scenario
21:16 foreign
22:11 foreign
22:18 foreign
22:53 thank you
23:00 are you finished
23:02 how about you Jerry how are you doing
23:06 I'm slow
23:08 I got two more five to six I'm not I'm
23:12 still on goal too
23:15 or maybe it's fine
23:18 oh you don't have to go over all the
23:20 goals we are just
23:21 um I was actually uh oh having him do
23:25 all of them because I was operating on
23:27 the assumption that most people had
23:29 already because we've seen these
23:31 and I like I said I I thought it was
23:34 just me that hadn't read them in detail
23:36 because no you're not alone but I was
23:39 focused one level higher and
23:44 but we can maybe just
23:47 see how it goes well let's take another
23:49 um let's take another two minutes and
23:51 then let's
23:53 um start in on them because maybe
23:56 it would have been better if we had just
23:58 done it one at a time too much to
24:00 consume all that at once
24:02 at once I think I think it's better to
24:04 do a multiple times all right the right
24:06 way to go
24:07 just kind of moved
24:11 all right I'm gonna stop timing
24:14 it's just
24:16 take what it takes
24:19 enjoy something I should read through
24:22 all of them before into the record yes
24:25 yes carry on okay uh you just model
24:28 along over there
24:32 I'll go over the second goal that
24:36 the tab will be discussing the second
24:38 goal is in proving the efficiency
24:40 efficiency of transportation system
24:43 improve the efficiency of transportation
24:45 system the objectives that were
24:47 identified are the following
24:50 optimize travel time enhance reliability
24:54 between workflowish emerging
24:56 Technologies prioritizing people safety
24:59 and community benefit

25:26 Development and Construction
25:29 mitigate impacts of roadway cultures
25:33 anticipate and plan for the future
25:35 growth
25:36 reduced fuel consumption
25:39 reduce environmental impacts and
25:41 encourage alternative modes deploy
25:44 infrastructure to meet Rising demand for
25:47 electric vehicles
25:48 a good efficiency of Maintenance and
25:51 operations efforts
26:06 goal number three
26:08 provide accuracy other information
26:17 variety of media used to share traveler
26:20 information based on needs and sentences
26:22 of Transportation users
26:25 provide real-time traveler information
26:27 for all people using the transportation
26:30 system
26:31 provide real-time road conditions and
26:34 weather information at key locations
26:36 with no issues
26:38 support centralized systems that provide
26:40 the following information like plans and
26:43 real-time information about construction
26:44 activities and work zones real-time
26:47 incident information
26:50 coordinate with original agencies to
26:52 provide further information
26:55 integrated City develop information and
26:57 call based into major routing providers
27:00 examples like Google Maps and weight
27:03 considered use of existing
27:05 infrastructure display interpreter
27:08 information and travel decision points
27:12 goal number four develop and deploy cost
27:16 petition its infrastructure the
27:18 objectives for a goal number four are
27:21 deploy systems that maximize the use of
27:24 existing infrastructure where possible
27:27 to deploy systems that are integrated
27:29 with existing its infrastructure
27:32 deploy systems that are integrated with
27:35 future Transportation infrastructure
27:37 improvements
27:39 critical assistance with a high benefit
27:41 to cost ratio with emphasis on
27:43 cost-effective equipment to average the
27:47 greatest value possible
27:48 operations
27:54 integrate deployments with existing and
27:57 enroll in local and Regional projects

29:02 completion of this planet effort
29:06 the last bowl book number six monitor
29:09 Transportation performance measures
29:12 you objectives for goal number six are
29:15 collect and record Transportation data
29:18 such as traffic volume Speed Build
29:20 occupancy and incident data
29:23 May Transportation data accessible
29:25 between jurisdictions and third parties
29:28 maintain a geographic information system
29:30 GIS database of the transportation
29:33 infrastructure including iterative
29:35 devices
29:36 automate and develop efficient systems
29:39 for collecting storing and analyzing
29:42 Transportation data and performance
29:43 measures
29:45 leverage collected and third-party data
29:47 from planning operational and safety
29:50 studies
29:51 and make use of Brokers third-party
29:54 performance measurement solutions to
29:56 provide performance measure aggregation
29:58 and Analytics and visualization tools
30:03 such as dashboards
30:06 thank you
30:09 how are you doing Jerry I'm I'm pretty
30:12 good okay maybe three and four I might
30:15 not be done with but
30:17 we're okay
30:20 so let's go ahead and start with Goal
30:22 one and um just uh let's see how do we
30:27 who wants to start I guess I'll kick it
30:31 off
30:31 I'm just looking at the survey
30:35 the graphics from that survey I think
30:39 there needs to be realization that it's
30:42 to be weighted away from what the survey
30:44 was saying in terms of really building
30:47 out more polynomial and Regional
30:50 approach to the IPS goals and objectives
30:55 um you know for example I drive my own
30:57 Vehicles was 97 of the responses and
31:01 that's not the oldest stickiness come up
31:03 it is more like
31:05 75 of what I believe and so
31:09 um it's obviously going to be a little
31:11 more tilted and then the age I think is
31:13 also kind of slanted
31:16 um in terms of
31:18 1564 probably does not make up 37 of the
31:21 population here in Issaquah and the
31:24 three other faculties here so I think
31:26 when we're looking at through the rest
31:28 of the goals as well we should be
31:30 looking at something that makes the
31:31 transportation Network or this its plan
31:35 more Regional
31:37 and then more
31:39 integrated with other areas as well and
31:43 also more multi-mole and more making it
31:46 safe between the
31:49 between the most transportation and so
31:51 you know for goal one my top three was
31:54 obviously reduce crashes impacting all
31:56 people through all moves and
31:58 transportation and then Implement and
32:01 maintain IPS related technology that
32:05 proactively Works to prevent incidents
32:07 from occurring in the first place uh
32:09 and then the third one I would say is
32:12 reduce the conflict between people using
32:13 different modes of transportation so
32:16 those are my top three
32:19 and before we go to the next I want to
32:22 say even
32:23 anyone
32:26 thinks there is an objective that should
32:28 be included for a goal specific
32:31 objective that should be included and
32:33 it's not reflected here
32:35 basically afraid to
32:38 proposal
32:41 all right I can add some comments just
32:44 to go one right when I was reading them
32:47 I thought they were only really three
32:50 goals in there
32:52 so I felt like there was goal one which
32:56 was reduced crashes impacting all people
33:00 walking biking driving and then if you
33:03 go down to I'm calling it 1A you go down
33:07 to the third bullet Implement and
33:10 maintain related its related technology
33:14 and strategies that proactively work to
33:17 prevent in a sentence from from
33:19 occurring that's kind of like a sub goal
33:21 and so is the next one below that reduce
33:23 the conflict which people using
33:25 different modes of transportation that's
33:28 all basically the same idea
33:30 you just want to reduce crashes and then
33:34 there's one a and one B is is ways to do
33:38 it and the same thing with two I had
33:42 identify and support redundant networks
33:45 and services to improve emergency
33:47 preparedness
33:49 and then the one above that
33:52 I called it 2A coordinate evacuation
33:55 strategy it's an emergency responses
33:57 with other local Regional agencies
34:01 and then number three
34:03 oh wait a minute
34:08 and then
34:11 oh I think three improve emergency
34:13 response times was also
34:16 um free
34:19 and then 3A was prepare signal timing
34:21 plans for special events and emergency
34:23 scenarios
34:25 so I I felt like there were mainly three
34:29 goals
34:30 you know emergency response improve
34:33 emergency response times reduced crashes
34:37 and identify support redundant networks
34:40 and services to improve emergency
34:44 so I I felt there was like three goals
34:46 there anyway already does that make
34:48 sense it makes a lot of sense
34:50 um yeah I was kind of thinking about
34:52 that
34:54 and I um I'm just trying to
34:58 let's note that put a pin in that
35:00 because I want to come back to that but
35:01 I want to go ahead and
35:03 let everybody share with their
35:06 answers were and then we can yeah I
35:08 think we should talk about that a little
35:09 bit Yeah I find myself aligning with
35:12 kind of
35:13 directions that Julian had and Jerry are
35:15 going I agree about how some of these
35:17 frankly and looking at all
35:19 or their
35:21 related to each other
35:22 and uh
35:25 so my first one was reviews and crashes
35:27 impact technical people talking about
35:28 e-driving Etc
35:30 uh second one reducing conflict between
35:33 you
35:34 people's transportation
35:37 and the third one is improving
35:39 University response times when
35:43 unfortunately if these do happen so like
35:45 I see it as
35:47 like prevention and then
35:49 addressing it
35:51 if and when it happens
35:53 um I'm close for me was implementing and
35:56 maintaining IPS related technology and
35:58 strategies to practically prevent this
36:01 so again just seeing those names of
36:05 prevention and then addressing him
36:07 when it happens
36:19 for these crashes and we're just a
36:21 couple different people and from an idea
36:24 the correctly work to prevent accidents
36:26 are all the same
36:27 thing
36:29 approved emergency response times and
36:31 identifying support for proving an
36:33 emergency preparedness a little
36:36 different uh
36:37 I think now
36:39 thinking that another five years are
36:41 going to have massive horsepowers on
36:42 this side how do we evacuate downtown
36:44 and let's go out and people are bombs
36:46 walked out to get out here so I do think
36:48 that looking down the road emergency
36:50 preparedness is important we have
36:52 evacuate people on develop a certain
36:54 area
36:57 and then I thought position crashes just
36:59 impacting all people to me that takes
37:01 into account the other two
37:03 let's say that'd be number one emergency
37:06 response number two
37:08 uh the special events emergency
37:11 scenarios I don't know what that means
37:13 um if any massive concert series it's
37:16 not yet
37:19 so to me it's the emergency emergency
37:21 evacuation and resisting questions
37:26 three cables
37:28 okay thanks um so just I checked the
37:33 first three but uh so reduce crashes
37:35 affecting all people and who respond to
37:38 times and
37:40 maintain its related technology to
37:42 prevent accidents from occurring but I I
37:45 do agree and I think that maybe we
37:48 should take just a moment
37:50 I what I'm just what I'm assuming when I
37:52 read this is that there's people that
37:54 make their living working with its
37:57 technology and they would say to us that
38:01 they that there are different that that
38:03 these different things while they seem
38:04 subtle when described in this list form
38:07 might lead you to different specifics
38:10 and I think maybe we're missing that a
38:12 little bit and I suspect because there
38:16 is a lot of things that feel really
38:17 redundant so maybe
38:19 um what would be useful if you have an
38:22 answer for some of why these things
38:25 if you think they're not as redundant as
38:27 they're coming across to us then that
38:29 might be useful
38:31 um and then if not maybe we just want to
38:33 get at the essence of what we think is
38:36 most important and I I think the only
38:38 one that fell off a little bit of the
38:40 bottom was the special events and we do
38:42 have football games and we have salmon
38:43 days and we have things but I I think um
38:46 emergency response times and I um
38:51 is you know I guess I just assume that
38:54 emergency response times could be that
38:56 the last one could be taken care of by
38:59 the first the number two so
39:02 um yeah I'm a little unclear about how
39:07 what this subtle differences the meaning
39:10 behind these subtle differences
39:14 but I also I wanted to get back to your
39:16 opening comment but I wanted to say oh I
39:20 think you make a very good point as far
39:22 as the I wasn't thinking of emergency
39:24 special events but salmon day is a
39:26 special event okay and so I think
39:28 there's its for everyday preparedness
39:30 and then
39:37 sort of like but I think that what I'm
39:39 hearing is that kind of fell off in
39:41 terms of the priority yes if
39:47 yeah prepare some plans for special
39:49 events would be a lower priority because
39:52 it doesn't happen that often and people
39:54 can live with it
39:56 it's a huge inconvenience but it's not a
39:58 safety issue all right when we're
40:00 talking about the cost versus benefits
40:01 exactly yeah yeah so that's the only one
40:04 that I feel like is easy everything else
40:06 is just to consolidate it's just a
40:08 consolidation
40:09 um and I guess I also just want to kind
40:11 of go on the record and say that I do
40:13 agree with Julian that the community
40:14 survey is heavily skewed towards drive
40:17 along older people and so I think it's
40:19 it's worth considering it's worth
40:20 knowing what those people had to say but
40:23 I agree we have a master Mobility plan
40:25 we have our safety objectives we have
40:27 multimodal objectives and that um
40:31 you know being aware of those comments
40:33 is useful but that's not necessarily
40:35 driving
40:36 what I think is um
40:39 what I would respond and so I would
40:42 assume everyone would think
40:44 um what use all of the information you
40:47 have that to inform your you know
40:49 whatever it is that you think
40:51 and serving and kind of context
40:54 um but yeah kind of back to the whole
40:55 point about how
40:57 if you can share how they're not so
40:59 easily condensed and now we will go to
41:03 one uh specific so so just to try to
41:06 help with examples and
41:09 I agree in the sense that some of them
41:14 can be grouped into like that but what
41:18 we are mentioning are
41:19 are similar to goals keep in mind that
41:22 what we are detailing here are
41:25 objectives the way that objectives are
41:27 defined for this purpose are ways that
41:30 we can accomplish these goals for
41:33 example
41:34 um on the last
41:35 like
41:40 improving in emergency improving
41:44 emergency preparedness and emergency
41:46 scenarios the last two we the first one
41:50 we say identify support redundant
41:53 networks what we are saying there is
41:56 specifically like ramping up our
41:59 organizations Network so it's like
42:02 having that backup
42:03 in case one fails we have uh that backup
42:08 that we continue to have the service and
42:10 and it is aimed to improve emergency
42:13 preparedness but we are specifically
42:16 talking about the way that we are
42:19 helping with that emergency which
42:23 for that example is providing uh
42:27 identifying supporters redundant
42:29 networks which is like like bumping of
42:33 the backup Community system
42:36 communication system
42:38 when we say prepare signal timing plans
42:41 we are specifically
42:44 talking about the way
42:47 to the way that we are using to
42:51 accomplish a goal with signal timings
42:54 with changing signal times
42:59 and for this one uh we are
43:03 saying it would be not only for
43:05 emergency preparedness but also for
43:07 special events
43:12 coordinate evaluation strategies we
43:16 again mentioned the emergency responses
43:19 but we are specifically talking about
43:22 coordinating with other agencies
43:25 about the evacuation strategies and
43:29 of having that communication extra
43:31 communication with other agencies and
43:34 other jurisdictions paper jurisdictions
43:39 so yeah
43:41 well I I do think to some extent that is
43:45 I think that what we need to talk about
43:49 some at what where we would recommend
43:53 putting the effort
43:54 as far as trade-offs and so for example
43:59 improving emergency response times could
44:02 be a trade-off between reliability of a
44:06 certain response time and so redundancy
44:10 if reliability is your goal for response
44:13 times you you that would lead you
44:15 towards redundancy in your technology if
44:18 overall emergency response times are too
44:21 high right now
44:22 and we want to get them down then
44:25 redundancy may not be our number one
44:27 objective because that would be
44:28 reliability and so I think maybe we're
44:32 struggling a little because
44:34 weren't it's not presented to us in that
44:36 language it's presented to us in words
44:38 that are
44:40 maybe just one level down Beyond like
44:43 our expertise
44:44 and there it's not necessarily being
44:48 laid out is do you think this is more
44:50 important or this is more important with
44:51 regard to
44:53 what you're getting with each of these
44:55 Strat like objectives so like what I
44:58 just described like is it so redundancy
45:01 really to me speaks to reliability
45:04 so do we think reliability is more
45:07 important when it comes to Emergency
45:08 Response times
45:10 or do we think improving overall
45:12 emergency response is more important and
45:14 in that case I would say that another
45:15 problem that I'm having a little bit is
45:17 that
45:18 I I always like to think of this Matrix
45:20 of is it important and how are we doing
45:23 and that helps you figure out where to
45:26 put your money so let's say something is
45:28 really important but more money or more
45:31 its isn't really going to get us any
45:33 further or let's say something is
45:36 um it's moderately important but an
45:38 investment in its can improve it a lot
45:41 or something isn't super isn't as high
45:44 of priority
45:46 but boy just a little goes a long way
45:48 with technology or something like that
45:49 so I think that not knowing how we're
45:51 performing on armors I'm just not I'm
45:54 not um I think everyone here thinks that
45:58 emergency response times are important
46:01 and evacuation is probably really
46:02 important and we've been looking at you
46:05 know not being able to see our mountains
46:06 in the last couple days and it's not
46:08 hard to imagine we could be like you
46:10 just said in forest fire so but I don't
46:12 feel like we're
46:15 right people to be weighing in on that
46:18 so kind of thinking about resetting a
46:20 little bit
46:22 what are we saying about these different
46:25 choices under goal number one it is just
46:28 in regards to we have five other
46:31 categories so this is just some regards
46:32 to Safety and Security
46:34 of the transportation plan
46:36 because Safety and Security Securities
46:40 and we would be reliability this is
46:42 going to work
46:44 so is there dollars of Investments we
46:47 can do to make sure that it works and to
46:49 me that would be kind of a small
46:50 investment the next size investment
46:53 would be to
46:54 build it out
46:56 the reliability maybe you need
47:00 reliable response times
47:03 might be more of a capital investment to
47:06 build things to get the response times
47:09 Q Jones an extra land of intersections
47:11 the vehicles could go around other
47:13 vehicles that might be parked at an
47:14 intersection
47:15 like that which would be more of an
47:17 investment to make sure the items
47:21 the first part the technology as far as
47:26 you know with the reliability and
47:30 keep from a safety from a periodic
47:37 yeah I think when I was looking at this
47:39 remote Project based thing I I think we
47:42 should be focusing on like making sure
47:45 that we do improve that reliability
47:48 aspect Ive of our Network
47:51 I'm gonna build on what we have
47:55 so if I were pushed though
47:58 knowing how long it's going to take me
48:00 to get
48:01 to downtown or to the airport or
48:03 something like that
48:05 for my convenience
48:08 I'm not sure I would weigh that
48:10 reliability at the same level I would
48:12 the reliability of information that
48:14 makes sure that there's not uh conflicts
48:17 with the information
48:23 right but
48:25 we were writing some meta comments and
48:28 I'm saying
48:29 I wouldn't apply the reliability to
48:31 every one of those things
48:34 so you I thought you were talking about
48:36 languages and the goal of
48:39 so reliability to me seems
48:42 like it's really really important for
48:45 safety
48:47 and for emergency unless in the
48:50 reliability of the system that tells me
48:54 um the uh
48:59 what are we uh saying how did you
49:01 describe that optimize real-time
49:03 information about
49:05 travel time which is of course that's an
49:08 under efficiency but
49:10 I'm gonna have to look at them I guess
49:12 you're right I guess we're talking about
49:13 liability and it's related to safety
49:16 that's I was looking at it is
49:18 about the emergency vehicles emergency
49:20 response time so
49:25 usually when they build a fire station
49:26 or police station there's a response
49:28 time they have to be within 10 minutes
49:30 of wherever that location they need to
49:33 get to so if there's traffic or we
49:37 develop more and they're not good to me
49:40 and they're 12 minutes we use technology
49:43 to bypass the intersection bypass
49:45 traffic
49:46 so they maintain that 10-minute response
49:48 time
49:51 without having to build additional
49:53 emergency
49:54 ambulance or fire stations the way that
49:58 we can use technology to get them to
49:59 where they need to go so we can still do
50:01 with the 19 minutes
50:02 range
50:06 um I wanted to highlight this comment
50:09 that we got a week ago
50:12 about sr900 and this kind of ties into
50:15 the
50:16 support redundant that works I guess
50:19 I'll go further into the other gold
50:22 particularly for
50:24 Gulf War however it is
50:27 typical five but could we could you
50:32 address this public comment that we got
50:33 last week about
50:38 watch not
51:15 is a big
51:18 portion of the
51:19 City's traffic
51:22 yes it was the comment was
51:25 um related to that wash Dot would
51:28 cooperate in allowing state-controlled
51:30 lies to be manageable with our system
51:33 and the thought was for
51:36 sr90 and that commonly specific in areas
51:41 which is something that we could address
51:43 when
51:45 we start uh proposing the projects or
51:49 strategies
51:50 let's watch that usually controls
51:52 everything 300 feet of the intersection
51:55 and part of that is make sure it doesn't
51:57 back up on the freeway system
52:04 usually when cities like when they have
52:06 HOV maps that they choose vram starts on
52:09 ramp start backing up too much then
52:10 they'll jump that cue get a lot more
52:12 vehicles on to pretty much if you don't
52:14 back up the city so there are some
52:16 things that they follow
52:21 as far as relinquishing absolute control
52:24 of control in the freeway system
52:27 I mean optimal the purpose of the
52:29 license for free rate would be to keep
52:31 the freeway free home and not that
52:33 vehicles
52:38 but I think it could be hard for the car
52:41 stop to give up in relationship control
52:42 of those lights at the intersection for
52:44 the city traffic flow
52:47 better than my impact the hybrid system
52:49 correct
52:53 although if there were
52:56 probably do some regrets if there were
52:58 an emergency like an evacuation or
52:59 something like that that there would be
53:01 a protocol that you could say that
53:03 number two and taking those advice for a
53:06 time to clear out this emergency
53:08 situation again
53:10 and that way they'd be another way too
53:13 to work with their traffic management
53:15 system to
53:16 control they would probably license
53:18 traffic Management Center but
53:29 turn everything through
53:31 to clear out and everything
53:36 um and I'm not sure
53:38 I was
53:40 based on the aggressive but I've done
53:41 with lunch time if that was kind of but
53:42 there's something you were asking about
53:45 having control of the lights
53:47 I think that she just has that paper the
53:50 public commentary
53:55 so uh
53:57 I'm supposed to be Charities meeting
53:59 running this meeting and I'm I'm I'm I
54:02 guess I'm just a little bit
54:05 unclear as to how we can best
54:10 advise as an advisory committee when
54:13 what we're saying is that we think
54:17 these are the what we think
54:20 are the best objectives to meet these
54:23 goals which I always have trouble with
54:25 that language because goals and
54:26 objectives to me are the same goals and
54:28 strategies and tactics are different but
54:30 I understand that's
54:33 so I know that goal number one is
54:36 improved safety and underneath it is all
54:39 what we're calling objectives so and
54:42 you're talking about objectives as being
54:43 a way to achieve the goal and I think
54:46 that um
54:48 the Nuance between these is is I just
54:52 don't think this is where I'm not sure
54:54 how to best use this group
54:58 um since we don't have all of the
55:02 knowledge to know like what these
55:05 different subtleties between the
55:07 different ones would impact the choices
55:09 further Downstream I think
55:12 um that because we're saying improve
55:14 emergency response times is important
55:17 and we're saying we want to have our
55:18 crank in it too because we want to say
55:20 coordinating evacuation strategies and
55:22 emergency responses with other agencies
55:25 well if you improve response I mean
55:27 we're just we're
55:28 gravitating towards just lumping those
55:30 together and I'm not sure how to be most
55:32 useful to either
55:36 the mobility infrastructure committee
55:38 that's going to talk about this on
55:39 November 8th presumably or to you as a
55:42 staff because I think we we're just
55:46 saying they're
55:48 if we let them together then we have our
55:50 top three and I don't think that's that
55:52 useful so I guess I'll turn it back to
55:55 if anybody
55:56 has another way of describing this that
55:58 you think that can get us unstuck here
56:00 I'm open to it or if you have another
56:02 way to get us unstuck but I feel like
56:05 we're just going to categorize them and
56:07 give you three that we're just going to
56:08 consolidate them right a lesson is how
56:12 these were
56:14 well that's the other yeah I've got
56:17 several I was gonna add a little help if
56:19 we try I know Jerry you have mentioned
56:22 like this could be
56:25 root into three different objectives or
56:29 kind of second find the language that
56:31 wouldn't help if we try to get those
56:35 three
56:38 and I don't and I wouldn't like to put
56:40 the words for you uh but
56:44 with these three
56:48 objectives or kind of groups that you
56:50 have to mentioned before we reduce them
56:53 to three objectives but then oh Cynthia
56:57 was saying that she wasn't sure what
56:59 that was really going to help you
57:02 right if we did reduce them to three
57:06 then it's just a matter of ranking them
57:08 right and then with we're condensing
57:11 like what falls off
57:13 then like is that whatever falls off is
57:15 it important or is it
57:17 okay that it falls off I think we're
57:20 having trouble understanding the
57:22 implications of the Nuance between them
57:24 and I wonder if either of those ideas
57:26 were put down
57:28 and effort to say okay well from our
57:30 opinion
57:33 we look at things like this and put down
57:34 these kind of relate to each other and
57:36 these are the 150. all right similar and
57:39 so we come up with maybe four of them to
57:41 combine them and so we might break them
57:43 like this is what we think effectively
57:45 is apart from one two three four
57:50 I don't really agree with the
57:53 consolidation
57:55 idea I mean I would like to have more of
57:58 that
57:59 the trade-offs that you were talking
58:00 about earlier and that'd be more of a
58:03 specific idea about
58:05 what each of these objectives looks like
58:08 in the real world like
58:11 if you were to bring up an example
58:13 project or something like that
58:16 first a blueprint of a project or
58:19 something like that and just talking
58:21 about you know what does
58:23 reduce crashes affect with all people
58:25 and then versus reduce the conflict
58:27 between people using different modes of
58:28 transportation
58:30 foreign
58:34 the implications of the Nuance between
58:37 them I think so I think we could do this
58:39 exercise
58:41 sure I think it would just gloss over
58:43 and leave them just as
58:45 puzzle of what
58:47 like it it's not going to address I get
58:50 I bet there's meaning behind these that
58:52 is just a little bit unclear to us yes
58:57 providing examples of the projects
59:00 that's actually the way
59:03 we actually want to go through the
59:05 objectives first so we can
59:08 provide projects or strategies to go
59:11 through the objectives
59:13 well
59:15 it's not like a host project that was
59:18 more like a blueprint like help us
59:21 understand the difference between number
59:23 one and number four
59:28 yes yeah
59:32 Oh you mean um
59:37 objective one and objective four okay
59:39 now for the objective one is reducing
59:43 the crashes
59:44 we are mentioning the the results of the
59:48 question the number of crashes it will
59:50 be reducing the number of crashes for
59:53 this for the number or is reducing the
59:56 conflicts between the people using using
1:00:00 different walls of Transportation should
1:00:02 be barrier shiny separation of curves or
1:00:05 something like that so what's the
1:00:06 difference
1:00:09 but wouldn't that be a similar objective
1:00:12 so one would be like the major objective
1:00:15 we'd want to reduce crashes impacting
1:00:19 all people and so then four would be a
1:00:23 way to do one reduce the conflict
1:00:26 between people using different modes of
1:00:29 transportation but the
1:00:32 the objective is to reduce crashes and
1:00:35 people say you can I can see the
1:00:38 difference between two of them those
1:00:40 reduced crashes with everybody
1:00:44 to the job and not hit somebody and so
1:00:47 if you reduce the complex and you say
1:00:49 Okay cards you're gonna be here you're
1:00:51 gonna be here you're separated so
1:00:53 there's no way you come so you can do
1:00:55 the best and I mean listen
1:01:02 what would the technology look like
1:01:05 like reducing crashes versus reducing
1:01:09 that's something
1:01:13 for the reducing the crashes
1:01:18 up to the weather specific example
1:01:24 I'll start with I'll think it'll be
1:01:26 easier for me to start with the
1:01:28 conflicts um
1:01:30 back when we were presented the ideas in
1:01:33 April uh some of one of the examples
1:01:37 that we provided was a tool to
1:01:42 measure the pose
1:01:46 those calls kind of pleasure better and
1:01:49 those are these points of conflict that
1:01:52 was an example of um of a platform that
1:01:55 would be used to that uh we mentioned
1:01:58 that there will be at the city of
1:01:59 Philippines Seattle are are already
1:02:03 testing that those
1:02:07 uh those Technologies
1:02:09 with reducing crashes that would be
1:02:12 something specific if there if there's a
1:02:15 specific craft that is occurring due to
1:02:19 The Pedestrian The Pedestrian conflict
1:02:23 with the vehicular conflict let's say
1:02:26 but this is
1:02:28 noise technology but if we get to
1:02:31 specifics there's
1:02:34 a pedestrian
1:02:37 and non-protected pedestrian signal that
1:02:40 has a signal and then there's a conflict
1:02:42 with the vehicle and we decide to
1:02:45 provide a technology to that signal that
1:02:49 would
1:02:50 provide the ability of having them both
1:02:53 separated okay
1:02:55 or protected that might not be as much
1:02:58 its uh uh like really uh much
1:03:03 intelligent but it's a way in which we
1:03:06 can provide specific technology to
1:03:08 address
1:03:09 um a particular type of process
1:03:16 foreign
1:03:40 well I'm I'm not sure we've
1:03:43 provided any useful information and
1:03:46 number one yet
1:03:47 um can't throw going through a good
1:03:49 money after bad but uh on the other hand
1:03:52 on a stranded investment here so I mean
1:03:55 maybe one question for us would be it's
1:03:58 hard for me to imagine how you couldn't
1:04:00 reduce the conflict
1:04:01 without reducing crashes but I could see
1:04:04 how if you get really into it you could
1:04:07 decide that conflict is different than
1:04:10 crashes
1:04:12 does everyone think that reducing
1:04:13 conflict
1:04:15 is the most important
1:04:16 thing where these Greeks and crashes it
1:04:19 reducing crashes well it's more
1:04:22 important
1:04:26 it's important
1:04:28 [Music]
1:04:32 keep people safe and so if they're going
1:04:36 to get into
1:04:38 a crash situation you you want to
1:04:42 prevent that so that that's a key
1:04:44 objective reduce
1:04:47 crashes because you don't want people
1:04:51 being injured
1:04:52 it's like I see crashes to me as a like
1:04:55 that's up to including a fatality and
1:04:58 conflict between does not connotate a
1:05:01 fatality it might be you know it's like
1:05:03 it but like nobody's
1:05:06 maybe up to like an injury but not death
1:05:09 that's just how I'm picturing it in my
1:05:11 mind that might not be what it means but
1:05:13 so for me if like
1:05:15 that's gonna have only crashes then
1:05:18 from what Isabella was explaining about
1:05:20 the you know like the specific
1:05:22 technology
1:05:23 you know we're talking about technology
1:05:26 dollars going into that projects it did
1:05:30 seem like reducing the conflict
1:05:32 the Upstream thing that we have to do
1:05:35 didn't seem to have more
1:05:37 technology-centered idea there crashes
1:05:40 seems to have more of a
1:05:42 hard infrastructure kind of idea so
1:05:45 we're talking about putting much into
1:05:48 the accounting project and you can have
1:05:50 flashing you know you have a pedestrian
1:05:52 and they hit the button and it flashes
1:05:54 in five ways to Sunday like that's right
1:06:02 so so you're trying to keep people safe
1:06:11 but later and no left turn and
1:06:14 people still start trying to run it when
1:06:16 we're there their bike's trying to go
1:06:18 through
1:06:19 yeah yeah there's a fatality there was
1:06:22 there's been multiple
1:06:24 yeah so there's a Congress to come from
1:06:28 it so for example that intersection
1:06:31 I hope you do produce a crash versus how
1:06:33 would you reduce conflict might be if
1:06:36 you put a railroad gate down okay you
1:06:38 can't take left turn that's a good
1:06:40 reduced to conflict
1:06:42 problems producing crash sets on the
1:06:45 public because of meat market confusion
1:06:47 as far as this question is too big of a
1:06:50 broad spectrum of what it is as opposed
1:06:52 to a conflict it's a little bit more
1:06:53 definable that's true
1:06:55 I think
1:06:57 it might make you reduce crashes
1:07:01 yeah not so good
1:07:03 um I mean I'm just trying to we all have
1:07:06 a lot of a lot of good
1:07:09 um you know we've all studied this
1:07:11 material we all have familiar with what
1:07:13 we're trying to accomplish here and
1:07:15 we're trying to
1:07:16 squeeze out of this group something
1:07:18 that's going to be useful and I'm really
1:07:20 struggling
1:07:22 and so I I don't know
1:07:27 I mean we could talk for an hour about
1:07:30 the difference between crash into
1:07:31 conflict and I'm not sure we would get
1:07:33 anywhere
1:07:36 and so uh
1:07:39 I guess maybe we should talk about
1:07:41 whether we think this
1:07:44 I mean if we put them into buckets one
1:07:46 one is
1:07:48 you know safety on a day-to-day basis
1:07:50 and the other is emergency or do we have
1:07:52 to choose between those I mean I I just
1:07:55 so if we were to edit all these if we
1:07:58 were to pick one of them
1:08:00 that's a good idea what would over the
1:08:03 top one and then maybe I was thinking
1:08:05 you know every alligating time okay we
1:08:07 spend the time this let's go two three
1:08:09 and one five to six and something might
1:08:11 spark an idea I'll come back yeah
1:08:14 if you just pick one
1:08:15 maybe we can start with that one with
1:08:17 the Bridge cards
1:08:20 I think we might get further by picking
1:08:23 I think that would be really telling
1:08:26 why don't we try this every takes 30
1:08:28 seconds and pick the first one
1:08:36 for all of them are just the first one
1:08:38 just number one yeah okay I'm not gonna
1:08:41 kill ourselves it's already 7 20. oh no
1:08:44 combining just pick one no combining
1:08:46 security
1:09:14 all right okay
1:09:16 who wants to go first
1:09:20 I don't want to go first to me it's uh
1:09:23 to maintain it and improve emergency
1:09:25 response times
1:09:30 for me it's probably increment and
1:09:33 maintain
1:09:34 related technology and strategies and
1:09:36 practically work to prevent sins from
1:09:39 occurring
1:09:41 producing crashes again
1:09:45 you're never the first one yes and I'm
1:09:47 going with
1:09:49 British crashes
1:09:55 I was gonna go with
1:09:58 um the Upstream
1:10:00 that Julie mentioned
1:10:01 um to prevent independence from
1:10:03 occurring only because I think in my
1:10:07 humble I mean in my own
1:10:09 my neighbors opinion I think
1:10:12 it seems like a technology something
1:10:14 technology can do to be more upstream
1:10:17 and that the infrastructure might be
1:10:19 more crash related but at least we've
1:10:22 got now we kind of do ever top three
1:10:25 if we're going to stick to the
1:10:27 assignment
1:10:28 so we have our top three but we have
1:10:32 obviously struggled with not
1:10:34 understanding the implications of the
1:10:36 Nuance between
1:10:37 so let's go to number two I'm sorry do
1:10:41 we have anything else to say about
1:10:42 number one or do we want to go to number
1:10:44 two and just pick our first one and see
1:10:46 how that how that goes as far as an
1:10:47 exercise I feel like we're still
1:10:49 learning and my head is still exploding
1:10:50 how can we learn so much we'd still be
1:10:52 that's this this is kind of stuff it
1:10:55 still be so hard
1:10:56 um and we just why don't we just choose
1:10:58 our top one that's what I'm saying that
1:11:00 might be more informative and more
1:11:02 useful
1:11:03 okay yeah and then and no come on
1:11:07 okay even though let's acknowledge that
1:11:10 they do feel to us like
1:11:58 foreign
1:12:01 I went last last time so I'll go first
1:12:04 this time you guys ready yes okay I'm
1:12:06 gonna go with one that I didn't even
1:12:08 pick the last time but I if I have to
1:12:10 pick one I'm gonna
1:12:12 say number two incorporate emerging
1:12:14 transportation technology and
1:12:15 prioritizing people safety and Community
1:12:17 benefit because it's a technology
1:12:20 project so I think the idea of
1:12:22 supporting and working on emerging
1:12:24 Technologies let's just go let's go all
1:12:27 in and
1:12:33 um I'm reading these and I've kind of
1:12:36 used the same words writing reports on
1:12:37 them thank you for make my concerns like
1:12:40 after my travel time enhancements
1:12:44 where's no reports
1:12:46 if I look at the efficiency of the
1:12:47 transportation system
1:12:49 I would go for a reduced environmental
1:12:51 impacts caused by advising Vehicles
1:12:52 emerging Ultra advisors transportation
1:12:58 I chose anticipate and plan for future
1:13:00 growth but Cynthia the one that you
1:13:02 chose was very very close-up to begin a
1:13:06 lot of a lot of the same things I know
1:13:07 we're not supposed to condense um for me
1:13:10 the m p is just you know the North Star
1:13:12 and so and I think this
1:13:15 encapsulates
1:13:17 the goals again
1:13:24 Jerry
1:13:27 okay I chose to prioritize Transit
1:13:30 friendly projects that provide safety
1:13:32 and accessibility and convenience for
1:13:34 all commuters to accommodate
1:13:37 foreign
1:13:43 I think it's probably because I'm very
1:13:48 Transit oriented
1:13:50 maybe and
1:13:54 if we prioritize Transit friendly
1:13:57 projects I was thinking we would be
1:14:00 optimizing
1:14:02 the use of we would be alleviating
1:14:05 congestion and we'd be optimizing
1:14:08 for the use of
1:14:10 our transportation Network
1:14:12 so that's why I chose that
1:14:16 person offense but unfortunately but um
1:14:20 yeah I would say privatized
1:14:22 trans-failing projects yet at the same
1:14:24 time it would again depend on
1:14:27 how much that is technology focused
1:14:30 because we are looking at technology
1:14:31 projects and so
1:14:34 on and hear more from that and but
1:14:38 generally you know since this is
1:14:39 technology focused Incorporated
1:14:41 merchanting and facial Technologies
1:14:45 which are not going to
1:14:49 induce
1:14:50 carb demand
1:14:57 yes for the transit friendly sorry which
1:15:01 which one
1:15:05 as long as these emerging
1:15:14 uh in that perspective then I would
1:15:18 definitely support incorporating those
1:15:20 emerging Technologies
1:15:24 it kind of what kind of Transit friendly
1:15:27 projects are we talking about in the
1:15:30 technology but it's not part of the
1:15:31 structure and the transit priority we
1:15:34 don't have that in the city yeah just on
1:15:37 signals the prioritization of transit
1:15:40 buses so that is one
1:15:44 really
1:15:50 really like when you take the bus and
1:15:51 you get off
1:15:53 freeway there's a
1:15:56 right in the right lane to get a job
1:15:59 so or like the right light between green
1:16:02 is the best surprise
1:16:07 Transit friendly projects that provide
1:16:09 safety accessibility and convenience for
1:16:11 all commuters and accommodates lower
1:16:12 income communities that would be an
1:16:14 example of the light turning green
1:16:16 four buses is that the one that goes in
1:16:19 yes oh then I change
1:16:23 to that really I heard that
1:16:29 was preemption yeah
1:16:34 yeah that's preemption in that case yeah
1:16:36 it's definitely
1:16:37 like four people change their vote
1:16:40 well I'd like to incorporate emergency
1:16:43 transportation Technologies too because
1:16:46 that seemed to be all uncompassing
1:16:49 uh approving efficiency of the
1:16:52 transportation system so I was thinking
1:16:56 um just
1:16:58 prioritizing Transit isn't what we
1:17:00 should be doing we should be
1:17:02 prioritizing all modes
1:17:06 I think this brings up a really good
1:17:07 point that's been bugging me a little
1:17:09 bit and it kind of relates to what you
1:17:11 just I should say bugging me but it's in
1:17:12 the back of my mind and that is that for
1:17:15 its this is a thing I wrote When I Was
1:17:17 preparing for this meeting are we
1:17:23 are we opposed to projects even though
1:17:26 our nmps are North Star and even though
1:17:28 our m p prioritizes multimodal
1:17:32 do we feel comfortable
1:17:35 investing in IT projects that do help
1:17:41 vehicular traffic not as our overall all
1:17:45 of our dollars and all of our planning
1:17:46 and all of the investments in
1:17:48 transportation for the City of Issaquah
1:17:50 but just for the its system
1:17:54 or do we really want the is there like
1:17:57 an overarching recommendation from this
1:17:59 body that says when you're thinking
1:18:01 about its and
1:18:04 Advanced Technologies and emerging
1:18:06 technology do we really want to optimize
1:18:08 them towards our biggest priorities or
1:18:10 do we want to optimize them towards that
1:18:12 which
1:18:13 intelligence to you know in data and so
1:18:16 forth tend to be good at
1:18:18 um and I think that
1:18:20 yeah so I I think that's kind of an
1:18:22 overarching thing that kind of can drive
1:18:24 this like if there's something that
1:18:26 technology is particularly good at
1:18:28 within our list of goals do we want to
1:18:30 do something really well and just be
1:18:32 really targeted or are are we feeling
1:18:35 like we want to pick technologies that
1:18:37 are going to be hit as many of our goals
1:18:39 as possible what if it hits only one or
1:18:41 two of them but it does a great job at
1:18:47 even if we all go to electric vehicles
1:18:49 exactly so I'm not sure if anybody else
1:18:53 would ever finds US person at an
1:18:54 intersection but not going anywhere like
1:18:59 why isn't anybody gone because the
1:19:00 lights are going through the cycle to me
1:19:02 that's a point where technology can say
1:19:05 and we can do it now today like no
1:19:07 moving no one's in that line okay so we
1:19:09 can turn that red and turn this one
1:19:12 green like ingredients are leading green
1:19:14 light too which is more efficient and so
1:19:16 it could be your real time evaluation of
1:19:18 the ethical pre-program like it's always
1:19:19 going to be a dating free which means if
1:19:21 we left turn goes first a legging green
1:19:24 is where the turn is held for some
1:19:26 length of time through vehicles
1:19:29 so we could say we'll put on the left
1:19:31 turn I'm not going to delete and so we
1:19:32 use the technology to get cars through
1:19:35 intersections and through points to meet
1:19:37 up with your age that's where why I
1:19:41 chose to reduce environment next because
1:19:42 sitting there highly creating pollution
1:19:44 because the campgrounds where this
1:19:46 license
1:19:50 flow through you're reducing uh
1:20:01 really no I think what you are referring
1:20:04 to is the signal the Adaptive signal
1:20:07 system and we don't have that yeah
1:20:13 okay like if we use this for
1:20:17 the bus gets to jump you
1:20:19 know and that then now it improves our
1:20:21 trip full of transit system locally
1:20:24 ideally you know more people will see
1:20:27 that notice somebody makes the news
1:20:28 whatever and people like oh well
1:20:30 actually I will like if that's you know
1:20:32 Ben and I got another problem of people
1:20:34 aren't taking public transportation
1:20:34 because not living as fast as they
1:20:36 needed to to get to where they want to
1:20:37 go but suddenly if it is is that not an
1:20:40 incentive
1:20:43 when we're talking about for example I
1:20:45 started 900
1:20:47 and during the eight o'clock eight
1:20:50 o'clock rush so
1:20:52 you know less we have all the cars
1:20:55 bunched up just in their General lanes
1:20:58 and then if you enabled that bus you
1:21:01 know the cue jumping lights or the buses
1:21:03 and for carpools you know it's going to
1:21:06 incentivize to that form of my location
1:21:08 of course and just make it easier for
1:21:11 everyone
1:21:12 and so that's kind of the focus on the
1:21:14 corporate world comes from so
1:21:16 if you enhance the ability for
1:21:19 that kind of mass transformation that
1:21:21 means there will be or a shift every
1:21:24 time you make it easier to get around in
1:21:26 general
1:21:27 so that's what I think our our
1:21:29 Technology Solutions before it supports
1:21:32 but of course it would be nice to uh
1:21:43 yeah of course but I think our
1:21:46 investments should be going you know
1:21:48 towards cancer that ability to be able
1:21:51 to get off here
1:21:55 so do you think we met the assignment I
1:21:56 think we picked a top three by just what
1:21:59 everyone's reading their top one and a
1:22:00 couple people had one and a half so I
1:22:03 think it and now I I don't think we've
1:22:05 answered or gotten any consensus on
1:22:07 whether we want to use its generally
1:22:10 about to
1:22:12 whatever it's best at like turning the
1:22:16 light at 10 o'clock at night when I'm in
1:22:18 my car by myself if that's really a good
1:22:20 use of Technology then should we be
1:22:21 doing it regardless of how it Stacks up
1:22:24 against our priorities and I'd like to
1:22:25 maybe table that for a minute
1:22:27 um and go through and do what we
1:22:31 are still taking too long but we did a
1:22:32 lot better on gold too so maybe we could
1:22:34 try goal three if nobody objects to
1:22:36 moving on
1:22:38 um because we did by going and picking
1:22:40 one we've given you a top three ish and
1:22:44 then some insight as to why we think
1:22:46 and Isabella you're writing these down
1:22:49 it's also being recorded yes oh yeah
1:22:52 I'll go through recording as well
1:22:56 so yeah
1:22:59 I've been scrolling them too but I think
1:23:01 the recording is more reliable
1:23:02 especially if we speak clearly so I
1:23:05 propose to go into goal three and take
1:23:07 30 seconds and pick your number one
1:23:35 uh Tony you want to start are you ready
1:23:40 another 30 seconds okay
1:23:52 okay cool I think I would stay with one
1:23:55 of the ones that I had my career which
1:23:57 is provided real-time traveler
1:23:58 information for all people using the
1:24:00 transportation system
1:24:07 my original one which is integrated City
1:24:10 development information updates into
1:24:11 major routing providers this is working
1:24:13 back to the survey which I know like you
1:24:15 should put a big caveat on that but uh
1:24:18 if that people identified that like one
1:24:20 of the main things they use for the
1:24:21 Google Maps ways Etc and so I see this
1:24:24 as plugging into that
1:24:27 response
1:24:28 a close second was the first one the
1:24:31 adapting on my information to variety of
1:24:32 media because I see those two as a very
1:24:34 recently
1:24:39 temperature Jerry
1:24:41 um I was going with support centralized
1:24:44 systems that provide the following local
1:24:48 traveler information Advanced that's
1:24:52 number four advancing real-time
1:24:54 information about construction
1:24:56 activities and work zones and real-time
1:24:59 incident information
1:25:07 that seemed to be more specific I
1:25:11 thought then one
1:25:15 and number one and number two
1:25:20 that's why I chose it
1:25:25 I would go with uh integrating that she
1:25:27 developed information
1:25:29 updates into the majority providers but
1:25:34 coordinate with regional agencies to
1:25:36 provide reasonable travel information
1:25:37 that is pretty compelling as well what
1:25:40 would that look like more specifically
1:25:58 agencies to provide
1:26:02 and provide free compelling
1:26:05 what would that look like
1:26:09 something I could think about uh if
1:26:14 instead of having to go through
1:26:16 different
1:26:17 sources of information like what you see
1:26:22 how lesson 900 traffic is doing of the
1:26:26 city to look at what the series
1:26:30 signals are doing so uh providing a way
1:26:35 to have everything on a specific on a
1:26:38 single
1:26:39 on a single source
1:26:42 and simply thoughts from other sources
1:26:45 but they would be presented served up to
1:26:48 escort traveler it's like having
1:26:50 everything
1:26:51 people thinking about it simply is that
1:26:54 having everything on a simple source of
1:26:56 information
1:26:57 it's like looking at Google Maps right
1:27:02 you get some sort of sort of travel
1:27:04 update and that tells you
1:27:06 the fastest way you can get somewhere
1:27:09 through all the different routes
1:27:14 yeah I mean I think
1:27:15 centralization
1:27:18 you know centralization ideas that are
1:27:20 in a couple of these objectives
1:27:23 it's kind of tricky because
1:27:25 I don't think a lot of people are gonna
1:27:27 be seeking out different
1:27:29 travel information metrics or data that
1:27:33 are not already what they already use in
1:27:35 Google Maps ways
1:27:38 so yeah I think that's going to make the
1:27:42 first place
1:27:44 okay so on last year that I'm going to
1:27:46 stay innovate City developed information
1:27:48 if it's in the major routing providers
1:27:49 Google ways and I think that people are
1:27:53 used to using those and if the city can
1:27:54 do something with technology to make
1:27:57 those choices better then I think that's
1:28:00 a good use of money in technology
1:28:11 we learned my first goal
1:28:14 it's very worth getting here
1:28:17 okay goal number four are we ready to
1:28:19 on okay everybody take one minute
1:28:26 the pumpkin okay number five
1:28:31 sorry on the first objective for goal
1:28:33 number four when it says existing
1:28:35 infrastructure does that mean Capital
1:28:36 infrastructure it doesn't mean
1:28:37 technology infrastructure right yes
1:28:39 that's 16 technology no oh sorry number
1:28:42 one technology yeah
1:28:44 and number two then
1:28:49 yes whenever we uh for these purposes
1:28:52 when we talk about infrastructure we're
1:28:54 talking about
1:28:55 assisting technology okay
1:29:00 the current requirement cameras
1:29:49 foreign
1:30:27 anybody else want the last of Kentucky
1:30:33 a shirt I think
1:30:35 I'm good
1:30:42 okay Jeremy let Erica go first and then
1:30:45 you're next or we'll go the other way if
1:30:46 you want are you ready you don't look
1:30:48 like you're ready oh I am oh you are
1:30:50 okay okay uh I said the floor systems
1:30:54 with the High bed cost ratio with
1:30:57 equipment to have the greatest value
1:30:59 possible because for me that the okay
1:31:02 the goal explicitly says develop and
1:31:04 deploy in some of these were I mean I
1:31:07 guess
1:31:08 they sounded more like oh and let's
1:31:10 maintain what we
1:31:11 know that's cost effective
1:31:14 but if we're
1:31:15 I guess
1:31:17 it would if
1:31:19 launching new technology versus
1:31:22 making the old to me like is
1:31:25 kind of need to answer what we're doing
1:31:27 first performance before I can
1:31:28 confidently pick this but
1:31:31 I'm going with what I said
1:31:34 yeah I I chose the same
1:31:39 option as Erica so
1:31:42 and and I was thinking oh well
1:31:46 you could do a benefit cost ratio for
1:31:48 existing systems along with new systems
1:31:52 I felt that was
1:31:55 described
1:31:57 objective
1:31:59 vote for
1:32:01 so I'm going with that one
1:32:04 thanks I would have to say deploy
1:32:06 systems are integrated with future
1:32:08 Transportation infrastructure
1:32:10 improvements because I have to be
1:32:13 consistent from my goal one talk about
1:32:17 um technology being better for Upstream
1:32:19 stuff producing conflicts
1:32:21 and so we're employing those systems we
1:32:24 have to keep an eye to the Future about
1:32:26 what's part of the structure would do to
1:32:28 reduce those crashes
1:32:31 combined with technology that reduce the
1:32:35 to prevent the crashes first place
1:32:38 so time moves together I think would be
1:32:40 good in a
1:32:43 technology project basis
1:32:46 so then was that one or two I'm sorry
1:32:52 okay so I said
1:32:55 um deploy systems the high benefit to
1:32:57 cost ratio with so many options in so
1:33:00 many different ways to spend our i t s
1:33:03 dollars it seems like aiming at the
1:33:05 lowest hanging fruit
1:33:07 for any benefit that's on our list of
1:33:10 benefits I think would be worth pursuing
1:33:12 as we
1:33:19 but Julian does have a point in the
1:33:21 valley that's that was my that was also
1:33:23 on my list about three just for the
1:33:25 record that was all in my top three but
1:33:26 if I had to pick one
1:33:31 the hardest one I've tried about because
1:33:33 it became one of them
1:33:35 you know but I think I ended up what I
1:33:38 would say my number one would be the
1:33:39 question available its infrastructure
1:33:41 that can be maintained long term
1:33:44 I chose that one because I think it kind
1:33:47 of addresses some of the other ones that
1:33:49 I would also could have easily chosen
1:33:52 as far as usually existing systems as
1:33:53 much we can and important to other
1:33:55 cities
1:33:56 for the media it's like a cost-effective
1:33:59 its infrastructure
1:34:02 I mean any one of them could be but I
1:34:04 would not let me deploy
1:34:06 which could be used in existing as well
1:34:08 they believe me and I think the thing
1:34:10 that got me on that was something that
1:34:11 we can maintain long term so it's like
1:34:13 thinking and playing in the future
1:34:25 does anyone have anything you want to
1:34:27 add or change their mind after we got
1:34:30 aloe vera
1:34:32 right
1:34:35 ready to move on to number five
1:34:41 uh let's take a minute I think this is
1:34:44 shorter so we'll maybe
1:34:45 you don't need quite as much time
1:35:29 chair whenever you're ready go ahead and
1:35:31 start okay
1:35:32 um let's go with the last one
1:35:35 participate in collaborative
1:35:36 opportunities to align with region-wide
1:35:40 its Vision following the completion
1:35:44 of this planning
1:35:47 effort
1:35:52 if you collaborate with other agencies
1:35:58 with technology then we would be sharing
1:36:03 all your resources
1:36:07 so that makes sense
1:36:13 I think for me it'd be promoting the
1:36:16 interoperability of the systems and
1:36:19 devices to effectively manage the system
1:36:21 that's kind of a
1:36:22 specific thing that goes into
1:36:27 integrating
1:36:28 our system with the regional partners
1:36:33 so we're talking about specific
1:36:34 Investments it should be
1:36:36 towards promoting that end of the
1:36:38 probability
1:36:42 okay so I got to the word
1:36:44 interoperability and I do know what that
1:36:46 means
1:36:47 um at least some definitions of it but
1:36:49 it's when I realized that I don't have
1:36:50 enough information and this is the one
1:36:52 that I wrote the note that felt to me
1:36:54 like it this is really needs to it's
1:36:57 deferred to what staff experts
1:36:59 Consultants whatever I just don't have
1:37:01 enough information to know what we
1:37:04 should be doing and it doesn't feel
1:37:06 value driven to me it feels um
1:37:09 or strategy I feel more um it feels more
1:37:15 um you need to know a lot about all this
1:37:18 and what everyone's doing before you can
1:37:19 pick one of these is how I felt so I'm
1:37:22 going to take a pass on this
1:37:25 one yes on goal five
1:37:29 okay good for I would prefer whatever
1:37:31 the experts did
1:37:33 I did yeah
1:37:35 thrown off the interoperability
1:37:38 you know we're
1:37:40 it's all over
1:37:42 again
1:37:45 the last one does so it's between that
1:37:47 and the last one I chose the last one
1:37:48 just participate poverty even
1:37:50 opportunities to align the regional wide
1:37:52 like yes
1:37:53 but I was
1:37:55 doing a little bit following the
1:37:56 completion of this planet effort why not
1:37:58 during the we're not doing it do it
1:38:00 during it yes as opposed to okay we're
1:38:02 done what are you guys doing
1:38:04 I'm supposed to like what are you guys
1:38:06 doing okay we're gonna incorporate that
1:38:07 in that artist
1:38:11 if I could change the word uh rather
1:38:14 than doing it during the completion but
1:38:15 during the development of the code for
1:38:17 the last one
1:38:21 yeah that's a good segue into what I
1:38:22 chose was number two continue deporting
1:38:25 integrate projects with other agencies
1:38:28 because to me that seemed very similar
1:38:32 to the last one but I didn't like the
1:38:34 like like the time you know like caps I
1:38:37 guess of what the last one had and
1:38:39 versus this one is continued working
1:38:42 just right off your bat and that's why I
1:38:44 chose it because that seems so it cost
1:38:45 effective yeah
1:38:52 also I feel like this
1:38:53 one pings on our public comment of hair
1:38:57 you guys Happy reading with watch that
1:38:59 Etc that seems like it's
1:39:10 anybody else having to add change yeah
1:39:19 interoperability oh yeah
1:39:23 um like what what kind of investment did
1:39:26 are there like hard Investments that you
1:39:28 can think of
1:39:30 that could come from that gold from that
1:39:32 objective
1:39:37 thing I
1:39:41 shouldn't make
1:39:44 to make sure our
1:39:47 like our systems
1:39:53 kind of work together with others
1:39:57 um and to give you an example
1:40:01 um let's say we have signals so we have
1:40:05 sr900 we have a combination between
1:40:07 Watchdog and CV signals and
1:40:11 right now
1:40:13 there is no way for us to have a
1:40:16 combined system that we can
1:40:20 provide coordination between all the
1:40:23 signals because we have different
1:40:25 systems
1:40:27 if we
1:40:31 if we are kind of align our operations
1:40:34 and our
1:40:37 technology into into the same so we can
1:40:40 speak the same language we could provide
1:40:44 a better service uh from the entire
1:40:46 quality
1:40:48 and with that capital investment be
1:40:50 something like
1:40:52 getting someone to
1:40:54 put those two languages together and
1:40:57 have them communicate
1:40:58 in that way or would it be interesting
1:41:02 look like
1:41:05 I can think of different ways but
1:41:08 [Music]
1:41:09 we'll be getting more into the details
1:41:12 but uh
1:41:14 something that they'll view us has done
1:41:16 is taking over washed out signals and I
1:41:20 know that that is a conversation or a
1:41:22 point that has been brought up of other
1:41:26 or feelings
1:41:28 conversations but that's that's a way
1:41:32 where all places both
1:41:36 both systems can communicate with each
1:41:39 other than the city of Belleville took
1:41:42 over the operation of what does watch
1:41:45 the of some of the Washington signals
1:41:48 one important
1:41:49 um but that's that's not technology
1:41:52 oriented that is
1:41:54 a solution to
1:41:59 get into that interoperability
1:42:02 where to
1:42:04 keep the same like
1:42:07 what would operate theirs and ask for
1:42:11 the technology to speak the same
1:42:13 language they'll have to connect or
1:42:15 interact with you okay
1:42:19 need to be compatible with each other
1:42:26 yeah I think I'll still stick with the
1:42:28 income okay
1:42:32 so you're not changing your mind okay
1:42:39 okay awesome
1:42:46 okay well there you go that's called
1:42:48 deliberation we're doing
1:42:50 it uh okay so goal six monitor
1:42:53 Transportation performance
1:42:58 I have a question of
1:43:02 before I make a decision on that one
1:43:05 okay so it says
1:43:10 doesn't
1:43:12 the county already have a geographical
1:43:15 information system
1:43:21 so we
1:43:23 so with the City of Issaquah and put
1:43:27 additional information to the gis system
1:43:33 um your question is to the county yeah
1:43:36 enough for three equals six maintain a
1:43:39 geographic information system database
1:43:41 of Transportation infrastructure
1:43:43 including its
1:43:45 the basis oh so you would add your its
1:43:49 devices to the king counties GIS system
1:43:55 well that that's that's not uh specific
1:44:00 to King County or or it's our 84 hours
1:44:03 we do have uh geographical or GIS
1:44:07 database but what we are saying here is
1:44:11 to keep that up to date maintaining it
1:44:14 and add on to what we already have on
1:44:18 the the gis to add on our ideas devices
1:44:29 Julie looks ready you're not you're next
1:44:31 to each start because the next round
1:44:34 I'll go with uh
1:44:35 automate and develop efficient systems
1:44:38 for collecting scoring and analyzing
1:44:41 Transportation data performance measures
1:44:43 just because I think that's kind of like
1:44:45 more it's like most directly
1:44:49 involve thing when it comes to having an
1:44:51 investment made in that space and so
1:44:54 that's kind of my choice
1:44:56 into that directness
1:45:03 I'm going to change mine to automate I
1:45:05 think number one is very similar to that
1:45:07 but number the one you just mentioned
1:45:09 adds the concept of automating so like
1:45:13 remote sensing or other kinds of
1:45:15 automated technologies that work with
1:45:17 that one
1:45:23 well you can make that three that's one
1:45:25 of my three choices but that's I don't
1:45:27 like number one as much as I'd like to
1:45:29 automate develop professional systems
1:45:31 for the collecting and storing and
1:45:33 analyzing
1:45:38 I'm also going with omelette and develop
1:45:42 positions
1:45:44 I agree that it seems a lot of the first
1:45:48 um also just in general some of these
1:45:50 were like I could do like a hard note on
1:45:55 very wary of what happened to data
1:45:57 privacy for folks and
1:45:59 making sure that's all Tip Top and not
1:46:01 being sold off to
1:46:05 foreign
1:46:08 okay well rule number six is unanimous
1:46:14 we got so good
1:46:22 I think that we
1:46:25 don't have the luxury of prioritizing
1:46:31 goals but I think you've heard a lot
1:46:34 about what we think is important and I
1:46:36 guess what I would like to do is ask the
1:46:40 report to make some general comments
1:46:42 about some themes that you heard and
1:46:45 even if we didn't have time to reach a
1:46:46 consensus some of the things that caused
1:46:48 us a little anxiety uh points that were
1:46:51 made that were kind of meta points and
1:46:54 I'm assuming this is going to end up
1:46:55 being a report that you prepare for the
1:46:59 November 8th meeting and I'll just
1:47:01 remind everybody that when things are
1:47:03 going to council that have tabs
1:47:07 uh summary of tab's feedback we now have
1:47:10 a system where they should send it to
1:47:12 Julian and me and we take a quick look
1:47:13 and comment uh that was something we
1:47:16 discussed you might remember a couple
1:47:17 months ago
1:47:19 um and we did that the last time and it
1:47:22 worked pretty well we responded pretty
1:47:24 quickly didn't have a whole lot to say
1:47:26 but a little bit I think we added a
1:47:28 confinement remember exactly but that um
1:47:31 yeah so we'll be looking to see if you
1:47:34 you know I know it's not going to be
1:47:36 but to just try to capture some of the
1:47:38 things that
1:47:39 were high level that we were wrestling
1:47:41 with so they can accelerate their
1:47:44 wrestling yes
1:47:48 and without I would suggest that we move
1:47:51 on and core Thomas has been waiting for
1:47:53 two hours now and
1:47:56 we do have a oh look at us
1:48:02 then we do need to take a couple minutes
1:48:06 I do uh Thomas I don't know if you think
1:48:10 we can get through this but um we did
1:48:11 take an awful long time and I think this
1:48:14 um this order was on purpose because
1:48:16 there is a meeting on November 4th
1:48:19 um and I don't know if we can get
1:48:21 through it all and if we don't what we
1:48:23 would do about that but I I'm not
1:48:25 opposed to making meetings longer than
1:48:27 we said
1:48:28 but I still don't I still like to end
1:48:30 them on time because I think that it
1:48:33 puts people in an awkward position where
1:48:34 they might have to leave early and not
1:48:36 get to finish their discussion so I
1:48:38 would like us to finish on time
1:48:40 but I think
1:48:41 I'm sorry you mean like 8 30
1:48:44 . I meant that 8 30 the new time yeah I
1:48:46 just don't like people to be surprised
1:48:48 and expected to be able to have to leave
1:48:50 and have to choose between your
1:48:51 commitment and finishing the discussion
1:48:53 and you guys have said you could say to
1:48:55 any three but I don't want it I still
1:48:56 want to stick to the train
1:48:58 ing I don't mind giving people notice
1:48:59 about
1:49:01 I don't like making a meeting go longer
1:49:03 right because I don't think it's fair
1:49:06 unless we always go over and then people
1:49:09 can plan for that too but anyway then
1:49:10 people won't volunteer for the board as
1:49:12 if it always goes over so there's that
1:49:15 um as well was there anything else you
1:49:17 wanted to say about that or should we go
1:49:18 ahead and share over the topic
1:49:20 it over
1:49:22 thank you that was hard but we hopefully
1:49:25 got some information by the time we got
1:49:27 really going
1:49:29 um okay
1:49:31 turning over to you Thomas
1:49:38 well good evening I will try to move
1:49:40 through this very quickly and
1:49:45 again yeah my name is Thomas faldrez and
1:49:47 I'm the senior Transportation planner at
1:49:49 Issaquah
1:49:50 so tonight I will be providing an update
1:49:53 on the transit study which uh kicked off
1:49:56 last month I'll then walk through the
1:49:59 study's proposed Community engagement
1:50:01 plan and ask the board for some feedback
1:50:04 best thing I'll conclude my presentation
1:50:06 but by providing a preview of what's
1:50:09 coming down the pike
1:50:12 uh so before I begin just wanted to
1:50:15 share these two questions
1:50:18 um so question one is does the proposed
1:50:21 Community engagement plan meet the goal
1:50:23 of engaging with diverse voices from the
1:50:26 community especially those with a higher
1:50:28 dependency on transit services
1:50:31 in question two is are there any
1:50:34 additional Community interests or
1:50:36 audiences that we're missing from the
1:50:38 key audiences and stakeholders list
1:50:40 that's been provided to you in
1:50:42 attachment B of your packet
1:50:44 so this will be item for B attachment
1:50:51 so as I go through this presentation
1:50:53 just keep those questions in mind
1:50:57 so where are we at with this project we
1:51:00 again just kicked off the study uh so in
1:51:03 August we selected uh dks Associates to
1:51:07 lead the development of the study and in
1:51:09 September we kicked this off and as you
1:51:12 can see from this timeline after two
1:51:13 major phases I will be ready to complete
1:51:16 this project along with the comp plan
1:51:18 update in 2024.
1:51:23 so this project team is currently
1:51:25 developing the existing conditions memo
1:51:28 which is Phase 1.1 that deliverable
1:51:32 and to do that we'll be consolidating
1:51:35 local and Regional planning documents
1:51:37 evaluating existing Transit operational
1:51:40 performance and Service delivery and
1:51:43 determine the existing commuting
1:51:45 patterns
1:51:46 so just giving a baseline of how things
1:51:48 are in Issaquah as it relates to Transit
1:51:52 the draft Community engagement plan
1:51:55 which is highlighted here has now been
1:51:57 developed and I'm here to ask for your
1:52:00 feedback on this
1:52:04 so at a very high level the proposed
1:52:07 Community engagement plan includes
1:52:09 engaging with stakeholder groups
1:52:10 representing diverse voices interests
1:52:13 and needs
1:52:15 an online multilingual Communications
1:52:18 platforms to share information educate
1:52:21 the community and receive feedback
1:52:26 posting a multilingual Community open
1:52:28 house
1:52:29 and several pop-up events at existing
1:52:32 Community gatherings
1:52:34 that will be utilizing the city's boards
1:52:37 and commissions like we're doing today
1:52:39 to gather feedback at project milestones
1:52:43 and lastly we'll be working closely with
1:52:45 other invested um
1:52:49 such as King County Metro Sound Transit
1:52:52 and the Puget Sound Regional Council
1:52:55 this is just to make sure that the
1:52:58 content and the deliverables that we're
1:52:59 developing is accurate it's practical
1:53:02 it's very robust in its development and
1:53:06 most importantly that it's going to be
1:53:08 useful to us
1:53:13 so a full list of the plans key
1:53:16 audiences and stakeholders can be found
1:53:18 in attachment B of agenda item 4B
1:53:22 and to summarize the very high level
1:53:25 groups of the folks on this list the key
1:53:29 audiences will be current and potential
1:53:32 stakeholder sorry current and potential
1:53:35 Transit users
1:53:37 Community businesses and economic
1:53:40 development interests
1:53:42 public agency Representatives
1:53:44 seniors youth
1:53:47 I'm looking to be challenged and the
1:53:50 general community at Large
1:53:54 moving on to the online Communications
1:53:57 the study will have its own dedicated
1:53:59 webpage on the city's website this is
1:54:02 going to serve as the primary source of
1:54:04 project information
1:54:06 the website is going to include general
1:54:08 information and educational materials on
1:54:11 what we're doing
1:54:12 staff contacts project and meeting
1:54:15 documents links to surveys and other
1:54:18 interactive Community feedback tools and
1:54:21 other ways that people can participate
1:54:24 that also includes having the city use
1:54:27 its social media accounts this is to
1:54:30 share project information promote events
1:54:34 and other participation opportunities
1:54:36 and to receive Community feedback
1:54:40 some of the examples of the social media
1:54:43 accounts include Facebook Instagram next
1:54:46 door and Twitter
1:54:50 he's the only ones I'm aware of I am
1:54:51 actually not sure what else we have but
1:54:53 those are those on the top of my mind
1:54:57 um the project will also use email
1:54:59 newsletters and like email uh meeting
1:55:02 invites just to remind you of events
1:55:08 so going into the pop-up events and the
1:55:11 open house so these events uh the
1:55:15 project team would would be there to
1:55:17 gather feedback post questions to the
1:55:20 community and work with participants to
1:55:22 reimagine what it means to be trans and
1:55:25 supportive in our community
1:55:27 yeah very importantly these events would
1:55:29 have translation services for Spanish
1:55:32 and Mandarin speaking uh attendees
1:55:35 and the prime goals of this would be to
1:55:38 have representation from diverse voices
1:55:40 people and interests
1:55:42 with additional Outreach to the
1:55:45 stakeholder groups that we have listed
1:55:48 we also hope to provide many ways for
1:55:52 people to participate who are unable to
1:55:54 actually attend that meeting
1:55:56 we also hope to promote it widely
1:55:58 through the community and to incorporate
1:56:01 Community feedback directly into the
1:56:03 planning process
1:56:04 [Music]
1:56:06 uh Wesley
1:56:09 I wanted to highlight the fact that
1:56:11 we'll be using the city boards and
1:56:12 commissions and
1:56:15 this would be the entire project
1:56:17 lifestyle cycle
1:56:19 so as was mentioned at the June meeting
1:56:22 the tab will be the the primary uh
1:56:26 you know board it would be working on
1:56:31 um the table begins to provide uh
1:56:34 great victim feedback at project
1:56:37 milestones we also hope to come to the
1:56:40 tab and just you know give General
1:56:42 updates on where the product project is
1:56:44 going so that you all are aware of that
1:56:46 as well as invite the tab to attend the
1:56:49 community outreach events that I just
1:56:51 mentioned
1:56:53 secondary to the tab would be the
1:56:55 economic Vitality commission the equity
1:56:58 board the Human Services Commission and
1:57:01 the planning policy Commission
1:57:04 these secondary boards and commissions
1:57:06 would also be provided regular updates
1:57:08 on how the project how the project is
1:57:10 going
1:57:12 um the administration would also be
1:57:14 seeking feedback from these boards at
1:57:18 specific
1:57:20 sometimes where where their expertise
1:57:23 would be helpful
1:57:27 so an example of this in practice will
1:57:30 be the Link light rail planning document
1:57:32 so for this example uh you know the
1:57:35 proposal would be that the economic
1:57:37 fertility commission and the planning
1:57:39 policy commission might be able to
1:57:41 provide some good feedback as the main
1:57:45 flight rail planning document which you
1:57:48 know goes into uh instances of like you
1:57:52 know potential station location and
1:57:55 there would be Economic Development and
1:57:58 land use planning implications so they
1:58:00 would be able to provide good feedback
1:58:02 in that instance
1:58:09 and so in in practice feedback heard
1:58:12 from these groups would then be shared
1:58:15 with the tab who would then provide
1:58:18 their own feedback on top of that
1:58:20 and then that would be sent to the
1:58:22 mobility and infrastructure Council
1:58:24 committee who would then have the final
1:58:25 review
1:58:27 so just a process here and you can kind
1:58:30 of imagine it as like a pyramid
1:58:34 and the third Group which is all other
1:58:35 boards and commissions that we would
1:58:37 want to keep them informed throughout
1:58:39 the the planning process we would also
1:58:41 invite them to participate at a regular
1:58:43 community
1:58:45 events to provide feedback using the
1:58:47 other methods that will be available to
1:58:50 the community
1:58:51 foreign
1:58:57 thank you very much for listening to
1:59:00 this and uh if we could
1:59:04 maybe go through both of these questions
1:59:06 and I'd be happy to answer any questions
1:59:10 these
1:59:16 thank you Thomas do you guys have any
1:59:18 questions about his presentation
1:59:21 the uh other like the two languages
1:59:25 selected for outreach Beyond English
1:59:27 like Mandarin and
1:59:30 are those like the top two identified
1:59:33 languages spoken in Issaquah outside of
1:59:36 English or how to play upstairs the
1:59:38 process to come into those two
1:59:40 yeah that's a great question they are so
1:59:42 we we went to the the latest census data
1:59:45 we we looked at all the the residents of
1:59:48 Issaquah we found that you know
1:59:51 obviously English is the most widely
1:59:52 spoken but second to that was I believe
1:59:55 Mandarin and then third was Spanish
1:59:58 thanks
2:00:02 I would go into the second question
2:00:06 there I think what
2:00:08 we're missing in this stakeholder group
2:00:10 particularly for Mobility
2:00:13 is some kind of bike advocacy as well
2:00:17 when it comes to Safe bike storage at
2:00:21 the future light rail station that might
2:00:22 be useful
2:00:24 integrating like Mobility options into
2:00:27 getting to those Transit centers will be
2:00:29 useful and so I think adding you know
2:00:32 Cascade or Washington bikes or anything
2:00:34 or any associated
2:00:37 would be kind of useful to add in that
2:00:39 stakeholder group I agree with those
2:00:41 that's good too as well as uh Facebook
2:00:43 we have some bike shops in town I don't
2:00:46 know if they're they have a network
2:00:48 right that they would plug in I don't
2:00:49 know what that looks like even
2:00:50 partnering with those businesses
2:00:52 and using that as like an Outreach base
2:00:54 in addition to Delia Cassie West club or
2:00:56 other anti groups
2:00:58 seems like a local connection there
2:01:01 but you know generally when it comes to
2:01:04 this community engagement plan
2:01:08 you know
2:01:10 when we're talking about surveys it's
2:01:13 It's tricky because you know I don't
2:01:15 know how much Outreach we did for this
2:01:17 other survey that we were just presented
2:01:19 with but
2:01:20 you just have to make sure that it's not
2:01:23 overrepresenting the traditional
2:01:26 groups who might be taking those
2:01:29 and so I I don't know what it would
2:01:31 require but I do think
2:01:33 is it caused Community engagement plans
2:01:36 do need to be working they do need a
2:01:39 revamp because what we're doing is every
2:01:44 agency is faced with the same problem
2:01:46 we're not alone but we are I think
2:01:51 I feel like we're pretty committed to
2:01:53 that so I totally agree with you
2:01:56 um I I was just wondering the one
2:01:58 specific thing I have the only specific
2:02:00 thing
2:02:01 because I don't know the answer of how
2:02:03 to do that and you know it's it's not
2:02:05 only their hard to reach but they're
2:02:08 Bolton people that are Transit dependent
2:02:11 people that are um bike dependent you
2:02:14 know for transportation or um
2:02:17 yep they're going to be busy earlier and
2:02:19 less free time they're gonna um not be
2:02:21 able to they're not gonna hang around
2:02:24 sit around filling out surveys but I was
2:02:27 just wondering whether we were allowed
2:02:30 to I did see something in there about
2:02:31 the Isco school district and I think it
2:02:34 would be really useful to Target
2:02:36 uh take some measure of
2:02:41 of the population of the school whether
2:02:43 it's you know highest incidence of free
2:02:46 well not reduced lunch or just the um if
2:02:50 the census blocks line up with the
2:02:51 School boundaries or whatever some kind
2:02:53 of proxy for uh trying to reach out to
2:02:56 this schools that I have the most
2:03:00 traditionally underrepresented and I
2:03:03 mean stick things in kids backpacks I
2:03:06 mean I don't know what they allow us to
2:03:08 do but I know they have newsletters and
2:03:09 such but I bet they have the same
2:03:11 challenges getting their parents but at
2:03:13 least
2:03:14 um it's one step closer so I was just
2:03:17 wondering about a an extra level of
2:03:20 effort to the elementary schools that
2:03:26 serve the most lower
2:03:29 populations as an extra layer of effort
2:03:32 if that's possible
2:03:34 we allowed to offer any kind of
2:03:36 incentive for this of like hey you take
2:03:38 this and
2:03:39 like we can
2:03:41 throw some change into your account or
2:03:43 something like that like I mean that
2:03:44 seems pretty complicated but I don't
2:03:46 like in college you know it's like
2:03:47 students would need to do their surveys
2:03:50 and so they'd be like hey you get a five
2:03:51 dollar gift card you're on a raffle or
2:03:53 whatever the card like I don't honestly
2:03:54 know how much incentives like that work
2:03:57 for capturing more people I think it's
2:03:59 for me it's more about like a time thing
2:04:01 I'm like it's gonna take me 30 minutes
2:04:02 and I'm doing it versus it's going to
2:04:04 take me five yeah I can do it and also
2:04:05 taking into account survey fatigue as
2:04:07 well how many surveys are happening at
2:04:09 this time like the cities out more and
2:04:12 more I feel like people are going to be
2:04:14 less likely to take them if there's like
2:04:15 30 different surveys On Any Given year
2:04:17 versus like all right we're gonna put
2:04:19 all of our energy into the transit one
2:04:21 um like get the maximum amount of people
2:04:24 take it well they're not all surveys
2:04:25 sorry oh yeah yeah
2:04:27 um but I'm just wondering I think it's a
2:04:30 great question and
2:04:32 and I think that that's if we all agree
2:04:34 maybe kind of consensus like give that
2:04:36 feedback back to them that if it's
2:04:38 possible to incent somehow whether
2:04:40 they're open houses then you can provide
2:04:42 child care or bus Pat you know uh some
2:04:47 way to get there
2:04:49 I don't know
2:04:50 I'm not the expert on how to get people
2:04:53 to participate in these things but I
2:04:54 think that
2:04:56 what I'm hearing everybody to say is
2:04:57 that we went to the city to invest
2:05:01 in that end
2:05:04 and turn out a local celebrity and other
2:05:06 Mariners that used to live in the town
2:05:14 it's generally
2:05:16 prior to also try to get to where people
2:05:19 are at of course and that's part of the
2:05:22 engagement plan but there has to be you
2:05:25 know you have to focus on helping people
2:05:26 get to where the staff are and having
2:05:30 the staff go out to the actual community
2:05:33 continues the engagement methods most
2:05:36 here but I do think
2:05:38 we have to try our best to like not do
2:05:41 the same same old of getting these
2:05:44 surveys and their demo graphics
2:05:50 yeah yeah
2:05:54 it's a good idea though but it depends
2:05:58 upon where it is at what time maybe they
2:06:01 need a few of those it's that or if it's
2:06:03 possible to just go where the community
2:06:05 is already existing right if you're like
2:06:09 don't have good
2:06:11 for that but if you know there's already
2:06:13 a regularly occurring meeting that a
2:06:14 certain Community is going to maybe in
2:06:17 time and then asking which I know
2:06:19 there's you know you know like coming in
2:06:21 as Government to a community saying hey
2:06:24 can we you know
2:06:25 you know come in gear a portion of this
2:06:27 meeting for a bit because we have
2:06:28 something important to say I want your
2:06:30 participation in it like I don't quite
2:06:32 know what the like you know ethics of
2:06:33 that are around but
2:06:35 um I mean like visiting Erica like
2:06:38 visiting the senior center right yeah I
2:06:41 mean that's a city entity I believe so I
2:06:43 don't think I don't know how it should
2:06:45 be that way
2:06:46 meeting sure yeah exactly like that yeah
2:06:50 and then especially targeting like
2:06:52 culturally diverse groups like I have a
2:06:55 whole list here actually I didn't know
2:06:57 if you were sharing this yet I'm like
2:06:58 for the at least the second question of
2:07:00 like people that I a group so like I
2:07:02 I add on to the list and I'm happy to
2:07:04 just email this
2:07:06 but like uh it's not in Issaquah But
2:07:09 Central cultural Mexicana in Redmond I
2:07:12 don't know how many folks that go to
2:07:13 those events and things
2:07:15 primarily Latino I don't know how many
2:07:17 of us live within diversity boundaries
2:07:19 that we're looking at and
2:07:21 people who want to be taking this trend
2:07:22 survey are showing up to an event or
2:07:24 hearing it or whatever even though
2:07:26 that's not in Issaquah but it's like a
2:07:29 community hub for a certain community
2:07:32 foreign
2:07:35 not to be confused with El Centro in
2:07:37 Seattle okay
2:07:39 but like I know people that
2:07:41 um the executive directors of it so
2:07:46 yeah this is all great feedback I'd be
2:07:47 I'd be happy to
2:07:49 um accept a list of other organizations
2:07:52 if you have specific ones
2:07:54 um or if you have just you know
2:07:57 overarching groups that are missing from
2:08:01 this list we can you know staff and our
2:08:04 project team can dive into that and do
2:08:07 our own independent research
2:08:09 okay yeah I'll just I'll send over this
2:08:12 let's just not take up more time going
2:08:13 down but uh I think I should though
2:08:17 mention I didn't
2:08:19 some I saw some on the list that you had
2:08:21 provided but just like overarchingly
2:08:23 like anecdotally I see a lot of uh like
2:08:27 um East Indian population within
2:08:29 Issaquah and so I think also like
2:08:31 hitting that I know like the and there's
2:08:33 you know various languages that
2:08:36 English but um
2:08:38 I don't know if that would be worth like
2:08:40 I didn't see that within the two
2:08:42 languages other than English selected
2:08:45 like that Community necessarily
2:08:46 represented so I'm not sure but I just
2:08:49 don't know that the numbers right like
2:08:50 the number of like population of folks
2:08:52 that identify as such but I don't know
2:08:56 yeah one of the um one of the sort of
2:08:59 considerations is that we were really
2:09:01 looking uh
2:09:03 we wanted to lock in on groups that had
2:09:06 limited English proficiency
2:09:08 primarily so you know many folks speak
2:09:11 multiple languages so um if if it's
2:09:15 already do speak English we sort of
2:09:18 assume that we can cover our bases in
2:09:19 that regard
2:09:21 [Music]
2:09:23 that is a great question though and a
2:09:25 good comment to consider we really want
2:09:28 to open this up to anybody that wants to
2:09:30 provide feedback so um
2:09:32 any way that we can get people involved
2:09:35 we're trying to do it with this project
2:09:47 does anyone else have any additional
2:09:48 feedback I I feel like we're
2:09:52 we're supportive of
2:09:55 generally the direction we
2:09:58 just want to make sure that we like
2:09:59 Julian said to try our hardest to keep
2:10:03 you know it's it's definitely elusive to
2:10:06 get the
2:10:07 uh transdependent folks but
2:10:11 anyone else that means dad
2:10:13 uh Thomas do you feel like you've got
2:10:16 um what you needed from this group
2:10:19 yeah maybe if I could just do a recap
2:10:21 here uh so the question one
2:10:24 is uh
2:10:26 I mean do you do you think that this
2:10:29 plan is meeting the goal of engaging
2:10:31 diverse voices
2:10:33 because there's that are uh
2:10:37 you know trying to dependent uh service
2:10:39 recipients
2:10:41 Transit writers
2:10:47 I would are you asking us the question
2:10:49 to get to summarize yeah
2:10:52 suggest that what you're hearing is that
2:10:54 as best as we know how okay
2:10:58 and then we don't have
2:11:01 any better ideas but that we just we
2:11:03 recognize that it's really difficult and
2:11:05 I want to encourage
2:11:07 yeah but we don't have any specific uh
2:11:11 I mean aside from what you've heard some
2:11:13 of the specific ideas that I think
2:11:16 I think the answer is generally yes to
2:11:17 the extent
2:11:20 we just know it's a very difficult goal
2:11:22 yeah we have to revamp our you know go
2:11:26 really hard at trying to help people get
2:11:28 to the open houses and
2:11:30 these communities and then we also have
2:11:33 have staff I've tried their hardest to
2:11:35 connecting with the various interest
2:11:37 groups yeah
2:11:39 Community groups with the addition of
2:11:41 the uh well I guess that's a question
2:11:43 number two I guess yeah I mean I'm
2:11:46 looking at the goals with sharing
2:11:47 information educate the community which
2:11:49 is good it's great to appropriate
2:11:50 feedback directly to the planning
2:11:52 process so these are all
2:11:55 and options for those who can't attend
2:11:56 those are all good folks
2:12:01 I think the answer is generally yes okay
2:12:03 great
2:12:05 okay and then the second question uh it
2:12:08 sounds like uh potentially
2:12:12 there are some
2:12:14 additional groups that could be
2:12:17 incorporated into this list but
2:12:19 is that is the board's consensus that
2:12:26 overall these
2:12:29 Umbrellas of groups are sort of hitting
2:12:31 the mark
2:12:37 yeah with the addition of the bicycling
2:12:39 with the addition of the Viking I have
2:12:43 to see groups and then also the cultural
2:12:45 groups as well that may be mostly out of
2:12:49 the city but you can still provide
2:12:51 important feedback
2:12:58 yeah this is very good feedback
2:13:01 um this is exactly what I was looking
2:13:02 for so thank you very much
2:13:06 thank you for waiting
2:13:08 no worries happy to do it
2:13:11 see look at this wow okay
2:13:15 you didn't think we could do it did you
2:13:17 Jerry
2:13:21 okay so with that it sounds like we're
2:13:23 concluding item 4B
2:13:26 and ready to move on to 5A the board
2:13:30 work plan
2:13:55 yeah so it's been a while since we
2:13:57 weren't able to provide
2:14:01 items on our work plan but we have now a
2:14:06 couple of things that will be
2:14:08 will be coming uh for the next
2:14:11 two meetings as we approach the end of
2:14:14 the year
2:14:16 first one would be the Public Water
2:14:19 Street standards
2:14:22 that would be that would be brought up
2:14:25 in November and so
2:14:28 don't talk it to us and also we will be
2:14:30 introducing the tip but in the sense of
2:14:34 the process of our process of selecting
2:14:38 the tip projects
2:14:41 uh whistle and then after that we will
2:14:45 continue on December with the tip
2:14:47 process we estimate that we would need
2:14:52 expand of two meetings and the
2:14:57 Northwestern Amish
2:14:58 non-moralized project we are finally uh
2:15:03 in the year with the introduction of
2:15:06 that project
2:15:09 in December and for the next
2:15:14 couple of meetings uh just so you know
2:15:17 we might end up getting additional time
2:15:20 as well as we did today
2:15:23 um and that's something we would like to
2:15:25 get during
2:15:26 equal time
2:15:31 and I'll stop sure
2:15:34 and as long as I know in advance that
2:15:36 we're going until 8 39 over a b then
2:15:39 it's for example
2:15:46 yes okay
2:15:53 yeah okay
2:15:55 thank you
2:15:58 you want to move on to the step report
2:16:01 oh yes uh from the staff report we only
2:16:04 have one thing uh we started uh the
2:16:07 construction of the local way pedestrian
2:16:10 bridge and Race intersection
2:16:12 um you have been able to drive a newborn
2:16:17 weight between both
2:16:20 can you tell me throw ahead we have
2:16:22 started that project there is a
2:16:26 panel then there is a temporary signal
2:16:28 for the traffic controller
2:16:30 the project the project the construction
2:16:32 is ongoing and
2:16:35 moving
2:16:39 to help
2:16:41 reduce the speeds with the very center
2:16:43 section
2:16:44 so providing more direct connection to
2:16:46 the trailhead
2:16:48 another crosswalk
2:16:50 with flashers
2:16:53 devices
2:17:01 depends on the weather yes uh it has
2:17:05 been ongoing really fast since we
2:17:07 started um but now that weather is going
2:17:11 to start
2:17:12 um we could be
2:17:15 could be extended through uh too early
2:17:18 next year
2:17:19 um but it's mostly because of the
2:17:22 bleeding time of product arts and
2:17:25 stuff like that and the
2:17:28 payment marking as well but it's that I
2:17:33 would say that the biggest the heaviest
2:17:35 load of the project is going along
2:17:38 pretty quickly
2:17:44 anything more on the step report
2:17:48 okay I do have a couple items on the
2:17:52 chair report
2:17:54 a piece of paper here
2:17:59 it is okay
2:18:02 um just want to remind you a bit about
2:18:04 recruitment right now we are eight
2:18:06 people
2:18:08 um it takes five to make a quorum
2:18:10 because we should be in nine positions
2:18:12 and two um alternate so we're down to
2:18:15 eight on this board regular members so
2:18:18 recruitment will be
2:18:20 um it's it will still be handled
2:18:22 annually I just uh wanted to remind
2:18:24 everybody
2:18:25 did some drop happen or
2:18:29 yeah Joseph South College
2:18:32 Joseph and Janie and then one of those
2:18:35 was filled by Jerry yes
2:18:38 um and so then we yeah that vacates all
2:18:42 uh alternates and leaves us one short so
2:18:47 just want to remind you guys of that
2:18:50 um the there's another thing and that's
2:18:52 the next item is that the mobility
2:18:54 infrastructure has a committee his
2:18:56 regular meeting the second Tuesday and I
2:18:59 did go to the one in October that was
2:19:01 really useful I do have a new in
2:19:04 standing ongoing commitment so it's not
2:19:06 something I'll be able to attend each
2:19:08 time I actually think it's really useful
2:19:09 to have that rotate anyway and so it's
2:19:13 certainly not required but if we had a
2:19:15 volunteer to go on November 8th when
2:19:18 they transmit the information we just
2:19:20 spent an hour and 45 minutes talking
2:19:22 about
2:19:23 um if there was one person that would
2:19:25 want to go I went in person and I found
2:19:26 it really useful I don't know a lot of
2:19:29 the council members but just getting to
2:19:30 know them a little bit better and
2:19:31 getting to know the committee there's
2:19:32 just three of them it's really
2:19:33 worthwhile so
2:19:36 is there anybody that wants to volunteer
2:19:38 to do that I'm gonna be in South
2:19:40 Carolina okay I am double checking to
2:19:42 make sure is
2:19:44 Tuesday oh that is
2:19:45 interesting it's election day yes you're
2:19:47 gonna need something to keep your mind
2:19:48 that's true yeah no I don't work on that
2:19:50 side but uh what
2:19:53 uh it's like six o'clock I think six for
2:19:55 two hours goes to eight or it's more
2:19:58 like an hour and a half isn't it
2:20:00 I think Ben depends yeah okay okay
2:20:04 um tentative yes okay yes I can confirm
2:20:07 for that
2:20:08 later okay right but technically you
2:20:10 know I don't have any order
2:20:11 you like yeah so if you guys could just
2:20:15 kind of keep that in mind the second
2:20:17 Tuesday and maybe um
2:20:19 we could send a calendar or something
2:20:21 and just kind of maybe formalize that
2:20:22 it's certainly not required
2:20:24 um but I did think it's really useful
2:20:26 and unless they end up changing that
2:20:28 date I just won't be able to attend uh
2:20:31 and then the last thing I have is that
2:20:35 they we would like to next month discuss
2:20:39 the possibility of whether uh and we
2:20:42 would entertain the possibility moving
2:20:43 this the evening to the regular meeting
2:20:46 time for this board one of our members
2:20:49 is unable to attend and
2:20:52 um actually it looks a little better for
2:20:54 me to do it not on Thursday but
2:20:57 um we do have the authority to change
2:20:59 the regular date we have uh we did she
2:21:02 did check with the clerk and there are a
2:21:03 couple dates second Monday second fourth
2:21:06 Monday and fourth Wednesday
2:21:08 are available as Alternatives and I
2:21:12 don't want to get any answers right now
2:21:15 um the idea is that you get a chance to
2:21:17 think about that you'll get that and
2:21:19 that will be an agenda item in your
2:21:22 packet and then we'll have some time to
2:21:24 think about it if we can't if it's not
2:21:26 feasible then we won't move it that's
2:21:28 the first one
2:21:30 third Monday second Monday fourth Monday
2:21:34 fourth Wednesday
2:21:37 and third Wednesday
2:21:39 fourth Wednesday okay
2:21:42 second Monday fourth Monday fourth
2:21:46 Wednesday
2:21:46 I personally much for the Wednesdays
2:21:50 versus Mondays for a couple of reasons
2:21:52 one of which it seems like a lot of
2:21:53 holidays fall on Mondays
2:22:00 right
2:22:02 um but to be clear
2:22:06 you know one person's schedule can't
2:22:08 drive the community but to drive the
2:22:10 whole report but we do have that
2:22:12 Authority if if it's all the same to
2:22:14 everyone and it can handle it exactly
2:22:17 and it means we would you know because
2:22:19 we have
2:22:20 recruitment you know for um
2:22:23 it's not like we have a long line of
2:22:24 people you know ready to fill in or
2:22:26 anything so if you can that'd be great
2:22:27 and you don't have to say no
2:22:29 um in fact it for free you don't that
2:22:31 way you can think about it a little bit
2:22:32 and then it'll be on the agenda next
2:22:34 month right yeah
2:22:37 Google Docs
2:22:39 and we had a little boat
2:22:42 uh only well we can just do that real
2:22:44 time in the meeting and we just we're
2:22:46 constrained by
2:22:48 there's only three choices but you're
2:22:50 right we could do it well we can't
2:22:51 really have a discussion
2:22:53 we're not really allowed to do that
2:22:55 offline anyway we can't we can't that's
2:22:58 a virtual meeting
2:22:59 that was a virtual thing
2:23:02 oh that's fine maybe maybe actually
2:23:05 that's a really good question maybe
2:23:07 that's an exception I don't know doesn't
2:23:09 have to be open public
2:23:12 is not public
2:23:14 is she saying that we've had like a
2:23:16 Google or like a um two years ago the
2:23:20 opening called when you have a
2:23:22 Google time a doodle poll thank you
2:23:24 that's what it was yes I don't have a
2:23:26 doodle Constitution meaning
2:23:31 before
2:23:34 as long as we have it in the agenda and
2:23:37 we can hook up our schedules exactly
2:23:39 that's the whole purpose is give people
2:23:40 time to digest it and then go to the
2:23:42 meeting and make sure it's no one's um
2:23:47 or whatever so yeah
2:23:49 um that does include the chair report we
2:23:52 are a couple minutes behind but um are
2:23:54 there any other business or
2:23:55 announcements
2:23:59 nice thank you for saying
2:24:03 nice job on the house
2:24:05 oh I didn't write it
2:24:09 presented it John at least
2:24:13 I was there on hand and I did make
2:24:15 remarks yeah John Larson friended most
2:24:18 of the he did the presentation
2:24:20 thank you well good I think that means
2:24:22 that we're adjourned thank you for the
2:24:25 extra time thank you
