0:02 ↗ is Julian M I'm the vice chair but uh

0:06 ↗ acting as chair due to C grass's absence

0:11 ↗ today um I'll call meeting to order uh

0:14 ↗ 6:12 p.m. um first thing that we have is

0:19 ↗ approval of the minutes uh of June 20 26

0:24 ↗ 2023 um so

0:28 ↗ by

0:30 ↗ that's correct

0:33 ↗ um yeah if we have a question about the

0:35 ↗ minutes yeah if you have a question yeah

0:38 ↗ this is Tom and I had a question about

0:39 ↗ minutes as far as I read on the it so it

0:44 ↗ pretty much

0:47 ↗ etty straightforward it is

0:51 ↗ or significance or

0:54 ↗ com I think that's for staff but my my

0:59 ↗ thing thinking is that there wasn't much

1:02 ↗ discussion over the it and went

1:06 ↗ tobly

1:13 ↗ quickly and so by name consent or if

1:17 ↗ there's no objection um then we'll adopt

1:22 ↗ the minutes of meeting um and then

1:26 ↗ now moving to um

1:30 ↗ with un consent um adopting for our

1:34 ↗ September meeting if there's any any

1:37 ↗ questions about

1:39 ↗ it okay good um well in that case no

1:44 ↗ objection we'll adopt the September

1:46 ↗ meeting

1:48 ↗ minutes do we have any public

1:51 ↗ comment is one online and no extra

1:55 ↗ people here so

1:56 ↗ no well in that case um we will go right

2:01 ↗ into the regular business the only item

2:04 ↗ that we have there is the transportation

2:06 ↗ element here like updates um presented

2:10 ↗ by Thomas

2:16 ↗ ales all right thanks so much everybody

2:18 ↗ for being here appreciate your

2:20 ↗ time um I will be going through the

2:24 ↗ transportation element uh periodic

2:26 ↗ update um so first I'll just provide

2:29 ↗ some background

2:31 ↗ information uh I I'll provide some

2:34 ↗ background information on the uh

2:37 ↗ comprehensive plan which is uh the the

2:40 ↗ broader uh document the transportation

2:42 ↗ element is within um provides some

2:45 ↗ history on that uh talk about like why

2:47 ↗ it is that we're updating this um and

2:50 ↗ then we'll get into the meat of like

2:52 ↗ what we're doing here today so uh in

2:55 ↗ addition to the uh information that was

2:58 ↗ provided I also printed out a track

3:01 ↗ changes version so we can walk through

3:02 ↗ that as well if that's

3:08 ↗ helpful um so again uh we're going to be

3:10 ↗ reviewing the proposed amendments to the

3:12 ↗ transportation element um and then I'll

3:16 ↗ ask the board a couple questions uh so

3:19 ↗ as I'm going through this please just

3:21 ↗ sort of consider these in the back of

3:24 ↗ your mind and we will come through later

3:27 ↗ um and hopefully get some good feedback

3:29 ↗ from you all uh so first question is

3:31 ↗ does the board have any feedback on the

3:33 ↗ proposed

3:34 ↗ updates um do the proposed goals and

3:37 ↗ policies address transport uh is cause

3:39 ↗ Transportation needs uh and are there

3:43 ↗ topics not addressed in the proposed

3:45 ↗ goals and policies for

3:50 ↗ transportation so uh to talk about the

3:54 ↗ comprehensive plan requires me to sort

3:56 ↗ of go back a little bit so to provide

3:59 ↗ some cont context um the state requires

4:03 ↗ that cities counties and regions plan

4:06 ↗ for growth uh so in 1990 the state of

4:11 ↗ Washington was uh seeing a lot of growth

4:15 ↗ happening and um there was not cohesive

4:19 ↗ planning policies to sort of guide

4:21 ↗ growth so uh 1990 the state required uh

4:26 ↗ planning for growth uh and the the

4:28 ↗ region the count and isqua we all are

4:32 ↗ aligned with that

4:36 ↗ um and so over the years the 1990 growth

4:39 ↗ management act has been updated to sort

4:41 ↗ of remain current with the the needs of

4:44 ↗ the state um but that's sort of just a

4:47 ↗ little bit of background information so

4:49 ↗ we are required by the state to uh to

4:51 ↗ update our comprehensive plan and the

4:55 ↗ comprehensive plan is providing a

4:56 ↗ framework for regional growth management

4:59 ↗ um requires that counties also consider

5:01 ↗ growth um there's several requirements

5:04 ↗ that are with uh within that that I'll

5:06 ↗ get into um and it also requires that

5:09 ↗ cities uh develop their own

5:11 ↗ comprehensive plans so this uh this

5:14 ↗ yellow area is sort of what we're

5:16 ↗ looking at so there's there's a cohesive

5:19 ↗ line between the state uh the region the

5:21 ↗ county and and local government and

5:24 ↗ we're really looking at um there's like

5:26 ↗ 14 things that we look at but generally

5:28 ↗ speaking it's about population growth

5:31 ↗ sprawl and quality of life or some of

5:33 ↗ the the topics that are covered within

5:38 ↗ this so today we're focused on Mobility

5:41 ↗ uh this is one of the chapters of the

5:45 ↗ comprehensive plan so in here there's

5:48 ↗ all these uh chapters that we call

5:50 ↗ Elements um so the mobility or

5:53 ↗ Transportation element is what we're

5:54 ↗ focused on today

5:57 ↗ um we

6:05 ↗ um within this uh there's several topics

6:10 ↗ uh

6:11 ↗ So within the comprehensive plan there's

6:14 ↗ you know multiple topics uh Mobility is

6:17 ↗ what we're focused on there's uh two of

6:20 ↗ these uh that the city currently tracks

6:23 ↗ um that are not required by the state so

6:25 ↗ human uh Human Services and cultural

6:28 ↗ element uh are two that the city finds

6:31 ↗ are important but uh not required so

6:34 ↗ there is some flexibility with how we do

6:36 ↗ this um the city uh we act independently

6:39 ↗ so we we want to have our own stamp on

6:42 ↗ uh how we carry this forward um many

6:45 ↗ cities have their own uh additional

6:47 ↗ elements they uh they track as well but

6:50 ↗ Mobility is one of the required elements

6:52 ↗ that we're close to

6:56 ↗ track and so today uh we'll be talking

6:59 ↗ about about specifically the periodic

7:01 ↗ update um of the transportation element

7:04 ↗ there's two types of uh updates that we

7:06 ↗ could do uh we tend to do annual updates

7:09 ↗ for some of the elements so some of you

7:12 ↗ may recall uh in 2020 we updated the

7:15 ↗ comprehensive plan when we implemented

7:18 ↗ the mobility master plan so this was uh

7:21 ↗ something that we did on our own uh that

7:23 ↗ was not required uh but we do want to

7:26 ↗ make sure that the transportation

7:27 ↗ element um is consistent with how we're

7:30 ↗ doing as a community we don't want to

7:33 ↗ wait too long to update it um so that

7:36 ↗ the comprehensive plan is sort of out of

7:38 ↗ line with how the community is growing

7:40 ↗ and all that uh we are required every 10

7:43 ↗ years to do a periodic update so that's

7:45 ↗ why we're here today um this is a

7:47 ↗ required update uh but again we did just

7:50 ↗ update the transportation element not

7:52 ↗ too long ago so we can sort of think of

7:54 ↗ this update as um being more minor of a

7:58 ↗ lift because we re recently updated

8:04 ↗ it

8:06 ↗ and this update is really just sort of

8:09 ↗ coordinating with recent plans that

8:11 ↗ we've put through um so again Mobility

8:13 ↗ master plan we did that three years ago

8:16 ↗ uh recently we've updated the street

8:18 ↗ standards um which provides engineering

8:21 ↗ guidance uh for the design of Roads um

8:24 ↗ so that was recently updated want to

8:26 ↗ make sure that our document is

8:28 ↗ consistent with that uh we also recently

8:31 ↗ did some land use code updates um also

8:33 ↗ this year and we have some plans in

8:35 ↗ development so we're constantly um

8:37 ↗ trying to approve on the policies and

8:40 ↗ regulations that we have um so just

8:42 ↗ making sure that our overarching goals

8:44 ↗ are aligned with that so that's sort of

8:46 ↗ the importance of of this what we're

8:49 ↗ doing

8:50 ↗ today uh just another visual to hammer

8:54 ↗ this home um so the comprehensive plan

8:57 ↗ provides a vision goals and policies

8:59 ↗ um for for how we want to provide

9:02 ↗ transportation in the

9:03 ↗ community and so the goals are providing

9:06 ↗ the high level intent of the

9:07 ↗ transportation system and policies are

9:09 ↗ guiding the

9:10 ↗ implementation um of the goals and so

9:13 ↗ functional plans like the mobility

9:15 ↗ master plan are really um implementing

9:18 ↗ the goals and policies of the

9:20 ↗ transportation

9:23 ↗ element and Mobility master plan

9:25 ↗ includes strategies actions and

9:27 ↗ resources so um there funding associated

9:30 ↗ with the actions uh and the strategies

9:33 ↗ that we're developing to implement the

9:35 ↗ policies are all sort of um making sure

9:38 ↗ that anything that we say we want to do

9:40 ↗ just in a general sense uh will be

9:42 ↗ implemented and there's like actions

9:44 ↗ behind

9:46 ↗ it and this again is sort of similar

9:50 ↗ it's just showing goals and policies

9:51 ↗ from the comprehensive plan are plugged

9:53 ↗ into the functional plan so um we're

9:56 ↗ doing technical analysis uh we're

9:59 ↗ engaging with the community we're we

10:01 ↗ have specific actions strategies and

10:03 ↗ funding um associated with the goals and

10:05 ↗ policies that we put

10:08 ↗ together so with all that thank you for

10:11 ↗ bearing with me um I would like to walk

10:16 ↗ through the goals and policies that

10:18 ↗ we're proposing to

10:20 ↗ update um and I can just start with what

10:25 ↗ we're planning to move um

10:27 ↗ so I should highlighted this earlier um

10:30 ↗ the environmental element I'll use my

10:33 ↗ cursor here environmental element is a

10:36 ↗ new element this year um it's receiving

10:40 ↗ policies from other elements uh because

10:43 ↗ it was not previously required so the

10:46 ↗ mobility element uh will be giving three

10:50 ↗ policies to the environmental element uh

10:54 ↗ so these three policies uh are existing

10:59 ↗ we're also proposing uh amending them to

11:02 ↗ be more actionable um but uh just I

11:06 ↗ guess my my first uh first three that

11:09 ↗ I'm here to get feedback on are on these

11:12 ↗ three so these are at the end I gave you

11:16 ↗ guys a uh piece of paper with track

11:19 ↗ changes um these are towards the end so

11:22 ↗ these

11:27 ↗ are oh yes sorry these are uh these are

11:31 ↗ in the first section section

11:33 ↗ B section what uh section B so this is a

11:37 ↗ climate change and quality of life so

11:38 ↗ that's going to be like oh yeah

11:41 ↗ yeah the third page um so the first

11:47 ↗ three in addition to moving them to the

11:50 ↗ environmental element so outside of the

11:52 ↗ uh Transportation element uh the goal is

11:55 ↗ to just make these more actionable so

11:57 ↗ previously uh we we talked about

12:01 ↗ um

12:02 ↗ achieving a 15% increase U but we didn't

12:07 ↗ specify what that number actually was um

12:09 ↗ so knowing a baseline uh is important so

12:13 ↗ um we just wanted to make sure that this

12:15 ↗ one was going to be

12:19 ↗ uh

12:22 ↗ yes sorry uh so question on

12:25 ↗ that 50% SOB still talking about

12:28 ↗ vehicles to me that's more

12:29 ↗ Transportation than environmental as

12:31 ↗ opposed

12:32 ↗ to U that might be Quantified as the

12:36 ↗ solution production from vehicles and

12:38 ↗ other

12:41 ↗ things kind of

12:44 ↗ consistent on the next one and the the

12:48 ↗ third F where producing emissions to me

12:51 ↗ that's more of a direct

12:56 ↗ [Music]

12:57 ↗ environmental yeah I mean you make a

12:59 ↗ good point um I could see it both ways

13:01 ↗ it initially was in the transportation

13:03 ↗ element however um in environmental

13:07 ↗ element uh this would be in a area that

13:09 ↗ is specific to greenhouse gas reductions

13:12 ↗ and a lot of the intents of tracking

13:14 ↗ these data

13:15 ↗ is for the reasons of greenhouse gas

13:18 ↗ emissions reduction so I can see it both

13:21 ↗ ways but um the direction uh that we've

13:23 ↗ been given is to move it into the

13:25 ↗ environmental element um but I I I

13:28 ↗ definitely hear yeah I wonder if there's

13:30 ↗ a way that we can keep

13:36 ↗ uh still the transportation still talk

13:39 ↗ about

13:41 ↗ vles in the transportation on the

13:44 ↗ environmental side um a reduction of

13:48 ↗ emissions because of reduction of s so

13:51 ↗ and addition of

13:54 ↗ hyper it's almost like but you can see

13:57 ↗ it both ways if you have one the

13:58 ↗ transation talking about Vehicles only

13:59 ↗ the other side is alternative vehicles

14:01 ↗ and reducing the number of

14:03 ↗ vehicles that's direct relationship

14:07 ↗ to yeah I I yeah I I get it yeah U I

14:13 ↗ think ultimately we want to reduce

14:15 ↗ redundancies through this whole Doc it's

14:17 ↗ all going in the same document and we

14:19 ↗ will be tracking it it's just whether or

14:20 ↗ not it lies in this document or another

14:23 ↗ um so I definitely hear you we'll record

14:25 ↗ that as like a comment but um that's

14:26 ↗ sort of where staff is coming from on

14:28 ↗ that but I understand

14:35 ↗ yeah

14:37 ↗ um I'll ask the the chair uh should we

14:40 ↗ maybe roll through all these and then

14:42 ↗ get feedback at the end or how would you

14:44 ↗ like to break this

14:45 ↗ up I think um we

14:49 ↗ can we can go Slide by slide or that's

14:52 ↗ easier yeah I think we can go Slide by

14:55 ↗ slide and get ask for input after every

14:57 ↗ slide

15:00 ↗ sure okay theend we can recap okay

15:05 ↗ sounds good great um so I will maybe

15:08 ↗ stop here on this slide

15:19 ↗ and yeah so maybe just get an initial

15:22 ↗ gut check so one of the things we heard

15:24 ↗ was about uh keeping it here but maybe

15:26 ↗ uh talking about um the intent of just a

15:31 ↗ mode shift generally but not not as it

15:34 ↗ relates to greenhouse gas emissions

15:36 ↗ right

15:37 ↗ um another thing was related

15:41 ↗ to

15:43 ↗ uh yeah

15:46 ↗ so yeah any other any other feedback on

15:50 ↗ on this

15:51 ↗ slide for the first policy achieved 50%

15:55 ↗ single occupancy vehicle mod share

15:59 ↗ by

16:00 ↗ 2030 so how are you comparing that 50%

16:04 ↗ is that from where where is

16:07 ↗ that yeah so I do apologize so this this

16:11 ↗ slide itself is shorthand for the

16:13 ↗ document uh that we have um so if we go

16:18 ↗ I don't have the attachment in front of

16:20 ↗ me here but if you go to attachment B um

16:23 ↗ in in the packet that that really talks

16:26 ↗ about the specifics here

16:29 ↗ um do you want to

16:32 ↗ maybe I guess you're tied up CU that's

16:35 ↗ your computer I know it's yeah um

16:39 ↗ here oh I'm gonna go around here do

16:44 ↗ this um let's put a pin in that and then

16:48 ↗ we'll come back does that work could you

16:52 ↗ maybe grab the attachment B

16:57 ↗ um

17:02 ↗ yeah it's in the

17:05 ↗ yeah unfortunately my computer is in the

17:09 ↗ shop it's it's

17:12 ↗ okay I had a question about the the mode

17:16 ↗ share breakdown so for single it

17:20 ↗ specifies you we on 50% single occupancy

17:23 ↗ vehicle mode share

17:25 ↗ um is there a

17:29 ↗ do you consider also adding on like the

17:31 ↗ other no shares like you know we want

17:34 ↗ maybe 50% and then we want to make the

17:37 ↗ biking mode share increas from like what

17:40 ↗ it is right now increase it to you know

17:43 ↗ 6% or something like that and then

17:45 ↗ Transit 20% that's sort of all yeah yeah

17:49 ↗ that's sort of all implied within the

17:50 ↗ other 50% so if if it's 50% single OCC

17:55 ↗ occupancy vehicle um I believe that

17:57 ↗ Baseline is

17:58 ↗ 2017 if I remember correctly

18:02 ↗ um it's it's in

18:05 ↗ the yeah so it's it's going to be

18:07 ↗ towards the end of that document at the

18:10 ↗ very

18:12 ↗ end yes yep so yeah this is all

18:15 ↗ shorthand for oh you know what let's can

18:18 ↗ you stop sharing so I don't know what is

18:21 ↗ being picked

18:27 ↗ up oh great sounds good thank you John

18:31 ↗ yeah um so again so this is that first

18:34 ↗ part so achieve a 15% increase in

18:37 ↗ non-drive alone mode share from 2017

18:40 ↗ Levels by

18:42 ↗ 2030 um and

18:44 ↗ so a

18:46 ↗ 15% uh increase in non- Drive alone uh I

18:52 ↗ looked it up because it wasn't apparent

18:54 ↗ um we are currently at 65% as of 20 2017

19:00 ↗ so condensing this statement into a

19:03 ↗ shorter statement is to say achieving a

19:06 ↗ 50% single occupancy vehicle mod share

19:09 ↗ by 2030 so it's it's equivalent um but

19:13 ↗ it actually tells you what the number is

19:16 ↗ if that makes

19:17 ↗ sense so if we were at

19:20 ↗ 65 in 2017 in 2017 uh and we want to be

19:24 ↗ at 50 I'm just saying we should be at 50

19:29 ↗ just making it a little bit shorter

19:32 ↗ wouldn't you

19:35 ↗ oh so wouldn't you use a real number

19:38 ↗ instead of a

19:41 ↗ percentage um percentage is sort of what

19:43 ↗ is used because population grows um so

19:47 ↗ to have a real number is kind of more

19:50 ↗ difficult but to say that we want half

19:51 ↗ of people um is more

19:57 ↗ achievable

20:01 ↗ this is on like all trips taken through

20:05 ↗ this because I know like I guess like

20:06 ↗ the statistic of like how many people

20:09 ↗ are just kind of like passing through

20:10 ↗ Isa right who like work here and don't

20:12 ↗ live here and

20:15 ↗ like don't have a question about this

20:17 ↗ but like that's just kind of the back of

20:18 ↗ my mind right now

20:19 ↗ yeah yeah this is all trips um yeah all

20:24 ↗ trips with an isquat it's it's a little

20:26 ↗ bit of a squishy number but this is

20:27 ↗ consider consistent with how we all do

20:29 ↗ it it's it's incredibly difficult to get

20:31 ↗ that hard number um you're using big

20:35 ↗ data to sort of get that number um but

20:39 ↗ we we do have sources that sort of uh

20:41 ↗ you know will give us a rough estimate

20:43 ↗ and that's um that's sort of what we're

20:45 ↗ going for so um so they track it by

20:49 ↗ counting traffics on on the roads yeah

20:51 ↗ there there's a variety of ways um but

20:54 ↗ lots of it is uh sort of um there's

20:58 ↗ there's indirect ways to do it with like

21:00 ↗ cell phone data there's also like

21:03 ↗ um there are travel demand models that

21:06 ↗ are using modeling assumptions to get

21:09 ↗ that information and then they Benchmark

21:12 ↗ it with real data that they collect so

21:15 ↗ um it gets very complicated very quickly

21:17 ↗ but um as far as what we're focused on I

21:21 ↗ we're just focused % we are we are not

21:24 ↗ changing this at all I'm just proposing

21:28 ↗ that we give it a hard and fast number

21:30 ↗ instead of a number that nobody would

21:32 ↗ know what it is if that makes

21:38 ↗ sense I have a question about the um the

21:43 ↗ second

21:45 ↗ policy why is it um per capita vehicle

21:50 ↗ miles travel rather than

21:54 ↗ overall uh it should have been written

21:56 ↗ as per capita that's that's the

21:58 ↗ consistent measure um it just wasn't

22:01 ↗ before

22:06 ↗ yeah um and then the third one

22:10 ↗ uh is pretty uh pretty simple

22:17 ↗ uh I'm just trying to simplify the the

22:20 ↗ uh The Way It Was Written a little bit

22:21 ↗ um then I'm also proposing adding

22:23 ↗ electric bikes um which was not

22:26 ↗ currently uh in the original document

22:30 ↗ but would also lead to

22:34 ↗ reduced greenhouse gas emissions um and

22:37 ↗ would be like another

22:39 ↗ sustainable uh alternative to driving

22:51 ↗ so

22:56 ↗ questions

23:04 ↗ okay I cycle through again so I will now

23:26 ↗ present

23:30 ↗ um so the

23:31 ↗ second set um these are new

23:38 ↗ policies um so this second set and these

23:42 ↗ would go in the existing uh go B

23:45 ↗ category uh so

23:49 ↗ see uh B1 and two are new policies

23:52 ↗ aligning with State and countywide gold

23:54 ↗ and directives that we've been given uh

23:57 ↗ and then B3 is new policies to ensure

24:01 ↗ that our existing commute trip Reduction

24:03 ↗ Program um continues to be aligned with

24:06 ↗ City's needs so uh just to provide a

24:10 ↗ little bit more information um yeah the

24:13 ↗ the first and second are just uh sort of

24:15 ↗ as we think about uh how we're aligning

24:18 ↗ with countywide and Regional and State

24:20 ↗ uh policies and directives these are

24:22 ↗ aligning with that and then this third

24:24 ↗ one um we currently have a program that

24:28 ↗ we are not updating regularly um so it's

24:31 ↗ uh Fallen a little bit behind in terms

24:33 ↗ of being updated so we would like to

24:35 ↗ formalize that um just to say that we

24:38 ↗ need to take a look at this every five

24:40 ↗ years to make sure it's uh up to date is

24:43 ↗ that similar to what other cities are

24:45 ↗ doing also like a fiveyear plan uh five

24:47 ↗ years was what uh for staff that's what

24:52 ↗ seemed to be a good fit for this

24:54 ↗ community um we are experiencing some

24:57 ↗ growth

24:58 ↗ uh now and we will be uh especially

25:01 ↗ within five years so uh five years has a

25:05 ↗ ring to it it seemed to be a good fit um

25:08 ↗ open to suggestions if we should change

25:10 ↗ that um but I think five years gives us

25:14 ↗ enough time to uh know specifically how

25:18 ↗ we're operating um it really gets at a

25:21 ↗ lot of the major Employers in the area

25:23 ↗ um so our current program uh has some

25:28 ↗ information on employe employment

25:30 ↗ numbers that are older um we're always

25:34 ↗ tracking how we're doing in terms of

25:36 ↗ commure production it's not that we're

25:38 ↗ not doing it um but the document itself

25:41 ↗ uh is a little bit old um

25:43 ↗ so I think at this point in the next

25:46 ↗ couple years updating the document

25:48 ↗ wouldn't change a whole lot but um in

25:50 ↗ five years we could experience more

25:52 ↗ growth and it would be good to update

25:54 ↗ the document um

25:56 ↗ regularly to make sure that yeah how

25:59 ↗ much does updating it factor into like

26:02 ↗ competitive for

26:03 ↗ Grants uh it it doesn't that I'm aware

26:06 ↗ of yeah it's it's more about aligning it

26:10 ↗ with how the community is doing and a

26:12 ↗ lot of it is related to the business

26:14 ↗ Community um and making sure that uh

26:17 ↗ larger businesses have alternative ways

26:20 ↗ to get to work instead of driving so

26:25 ↗ it's I have a comment yeah

26:28 ↗ on camera so John lars's friend um so as

26:32 ↗ the CTR program coordinator um this is

26:37 ↗ so CTR is is a state law like um it's

26:40 ↗ required for any company with over 100

26:45 ↗ employees at a given work site we have

26:47 ↗ eight of those in our city um I

26:51 ↗ think and um actually as a point of uh

26:56 ↗ uh interest uh we are required to update

27:01 ↗ our program basically report every four

27:04 ↗ years so that might I don't know if that

27:06 ↗ factors into this at all

27:10 ↗ but just

27:13 ↗ want you're saying the state law

27:15 ↗ requires you updated every four

27:17 ↗ years yes yes uh yes yeah

27:22 ↗ basically or at least the administrators

27:25 ↗ do I don't know if it's law

27:30 ↗ that's maybe one but I thought the part

27:32 ↗ of state law was what you were saying is

27:34 ↗ the companies that are over 100

27:37 ↗ have production

27:40 ↗ plan to see to achieve a

27:47 ↗ certain least in the law it says good

27:50 ↗ faith effort

27:53 ↗ inations could you talk more about what

27:56 ↗ goes into typical

28:01 ↗ evaluation that's a great question

28:04 ↗ because we haven't really done that at

28:06 ↗ the same level so that's why we're ring

28:08 ↗ it the document itself is very

28:13 ↗ old you're the person the person for

28:16 ↗ that I guess like turn this to but does

28:19 ↗ that feel doable given like any other

28:22 ↗ responsibilities that you have or is

28:25 ↗ that like we would maybe have to add

28:26 ↗ another f or something um not at this

28:30 ↗ point I don't think uh eight companies

28:32 ↗ is very manageable um even I think I

28:36 ↗ work maybe a third of my job on

28:39 ↗ it so yeah I think

28:44 ↗ that's and I will say Statewide commut

28:48 ↗ production is becoming more and more

28:50 ↗ important

28:52 ↗ um it's it's a very it's a very widely

28:56 ↗ used program and it's it's very

28:57 ↗ important that we keep up to date on

29:04 ↗ it any other feedback on these

29:10 ↗ three

29:13 ↗ okay all right we will move on to

29:18 ↗ multimodal balance system so this is

29:20 ↗ goal c um there are two new policies for

29:24 ↗ you to consider uh C4 uh this is a new

29:29 ↗ proposal based on feedback from the tab

29:31 ↗ and mobility and infrastructure

29:33 ↗ committee

29:35 ↗ um several months ago I I brought this

29:38 ↗ uh it was there was feedback about uh

29:40 ↗ potentially pursuing M micr Mobility

29:42 ↗ Partnerships or investments in the

29:44 ↗ future um so this is a direct result

29:47 ↗ from that um and then C5 uh this is a

29:51 ↗ new proposal based on what we've heard

29:54 ↗ so far from the transit study um

29:58 ↗ there's an importance of adopting land

30:00 ↗ use policies and multimetal connections

30:03 ↗ to uh a potential new stations so given

30:08 ↗ that this document is a 20-year document

30:10 ↗ um we're sort of thinking ahead about

30:13 ↗ what we could see with a new light rail

30:16 ↗ station uh we will need to support it

30:19 ↗ with land use and connections to the

30:21 ↗ station so we don't have any information

30:23 ↗ on where that station will be but we

30:25 ↗ just want to like sort of Tee It Up for

30:27 ↗ future discussions um by adding it to

30:30 ↗ the

30:32 ↗ document so with Goal C with both of

30:36 ↗ these I mean I guess C is pretty

30:39 ↗ sharpened but the light rail one

30:42 ↗ particular was talking about the support

30:44 ↗ of land use since it is a 20-year plan

30:48 ↗ it might be it might not be good to be

30:49 ↗ too prescriptive about what that means

30:51 ↗ but I do think supportive land use is

30:55 ↗ still a little bit vag um too vague and

31:00 ↗ so I I feel like it might be useful to

31:02 ↗ sharpen the language there and say like

31:05 ↗ you know we need an

31:07 ↗ actual walkable neighborhood like right

31:10 ↗ next to it um or some walkable detail

31:13 ↗ right next to it right yeah yeah I heard

31:17 ↗ I he just saying um I think the

31:19 ↗ vagueness is like you said it's sort of

31:22 ↗ built into why we're doing that um the

31:25 ↗ imple implementation

31:27 ↗ documents that we have associated with

31:29 ↗ it like the transit study or the

31:31 ↗ mobility master plan that's where you

31:33 ↗ would actually hash out like the

31:35 ↗ specifics on how you would get there um

31:37 ↗ so I think just in general like this

31:40 ↗ policy is meant to be pretty broad um

31:44 ↗ just like we're not saying like pursuing

31:46 ↗ micromobility Partnerships with a

31:47 ↗ specific provider um we just want to

31:50 ↗ like set the stage so that uh when we do

31:54 ↗ go down that line we can say that in the

31:57 ↗ transportation element we call for this

32:00 ↗ and um the actual way that we will

32:03 ↗ implement it will be decided um as as we

32:08 ↗ get there we don't we don't really want

32:09 ↗ to

32:10 ↗ like we don't want to say exactly how we

32:13 ↗ want to do it because the conditions

32:15 ↗ might change between now and 20 years

32:17 ↗ from now so it's um I think it's

32:21 ↗ important to be flexible uh with how

32:23 ↗ we're doing this um while also

32:26 ↗ acknowledging that like it's important

32:27 ↗ that we do it right but we just don't

32:29 ↗ know what the right approach is

32:36 ↗ yet in that ve like is it typical to

32:39 ↗ call out Sound Transit by name and I

32:41 ↗ know a couple these it says Metro like

32:44 ↗ could you make it so this is like my

32:46 ↗ legislative brain here but you can't

32:48 ↗ always call out specific organizations

32:50 ↗ within the text of the law like for like

32:52 ↗ a budget Proviso you have to like

32:54 ↗ basically narrowly tailor the

32:56 ↗ description to so that it can like only

32:58 ↗ fit that specific thing so it is the

33:01 ↗ thing but you can't name it by the name

33:03 ↗ it's Sil I that makes sense yeah I don't

33:06 ↗ so I all that is to say basically like

33:09 ↗ if s Trends it like rebrands in 10 years

33:11 ↗ where it's the same entity but are

33:14 ↗ calling themselves something different

33:15 ↗ and like I know that's really minute

33:16 ↗ change but it is it would then make this

33:19 ↗ outdated right like is that I don't know

33:21 ↗ if that's just like standard practice

33:23 ↗ Yeah call by name yeah you make a really

33:26 ↗ great Point um and just more background

33:28 ↗ information we're going to be running

33:30 ↗ all these through legal um to make sure

33:32 ↗ that this is fine um but you make a

33:34 ↗ really great Point um so we will we will

33:35 ↗ definitely not that um in case that is a

33:38 ↗ concern um I am not a lawyer so I did

33:41 ↗ not yeah yeah yeah that's a really great

33:44 ↗ point

33:46 ↗ though any any comments you saying that

33:50 ↗ use does that include considering the

33:52 ↗ topography where

33:54 ↗ you like high altit or the attitudes

33:58 ↗ like flood planes and stuff like that

34:00 ↗ yeah in a way that's all that's all

34:01 ↗ Incorporated um I guess sort of what

34:05 ↗ this is getting at is it's more about

34:09 ↗ um it's more about like what is built in

34:12 ↗ the area um but like as a as an adjacent

34:16 ↗ thing like that would be considered um

34:19 ↗ there are land use policies that are

34:21 ↗ related to environmental sort of things

34:23 ↗ um this one is more directed at like uh

34:26 ↗ within an

34:27 ↗ area adjacent to Transit um making sure

34:32 ↗ that uh there's enough jobs housing that

34:35 ↗ would actually use said transit so it's

34:39 ↗ it's more about um supporting Light Rail

34:43 ↗ through like uh yeah just like making it

34:48 ↗ making it a viable option to actually

34:50 ↗ have light rail there you wouldn't site

34:52 ↗ Light Rail in an area that was like an

34:55 ↗ dangered like environmental area

34:57 ↗ um so that that's all sort of related

34:59 ↗ but this one is more specific to like

35:02 ↗ sort of the the density and the housing

35:03 ↗ and the jobs kind of um

35:10 ↗ IDE so so this was kind of what I was

35:14 ↗ like uh talking about because our idea

35:17 ↗ of support of land use might change in

35:19 ↗ 20 years but I feel like it's still

35:22 ↗ important to capture our intent of like

35:25 ↗ and putting that into language here like

35:27 ↗ saying there have to be jobs near it

35:29 ↗ there have to be housing units near it

35:32 ↗ um we're not specifying how many in this

35:35 ↗ overarching document but we're just

35:37 ↗ saying that there has to be a sufficient

35:39 ↗ number of jobs and housing near the

35:42 ↗ Light Rail station I can

35:45 ↗ serve so yeah that's kind of like how I

35:48 ↗ think it should be okay yeah not sure

35:51 ↗ what others

35:55 ↗ folks

36:03 ↗ great okay keep moving on thank

36:08 ↗ you um so go d uh this is really just

36:12 ↗ adding um a couple words and

36:16 ↗ removing uh a couple words um so I'll

36:19 ↗ start with removing uh we currently have

36:21 ↗ a statement that is inconsistent with

36:23 ↗ state law we want to remove that uh that

36:26 ↗ seems pretty straightforward

36:28 ↗ um and the second part

36:31 ↗ is uh we had currently uh in the

36:34 ↗ document it says Transit stations uh and

36:39 ↗ this is in relation to a sidewalk

36:41 ↗ teering system so the way that we are

36:44 ↗ prioritizing where sidewalks are built

36:47 ↗ um we are currently prioritizing near

36:49 ↗ Transit stations so an example is uh you

36:53 ↗ know over here um at the at the a

36:57 ↗ parking ride um so that's a station uh

37:01 ↗ versus adding Transit stop which would

37:04 ↗ be all bus stops currently um so this is

37:08 ↗ just adding more emphasis on bus stops

37:12 ↗ uh in addition to

37:15 ↗ stations and that's language change from

37:17 ↗ hospitals trans and stops

37:20 ↗ fa

37:24 ↗ yeah and that way stop

37:39 ↗ okay I'll keep moving on thank

37:41 ↗ you um goal e uh just adding additional

37:45 ↗ language talking about the location of

37:48 ↗ potential Light Rail station uh which

37:51 ↗ we're not aware of but just sort of

37:52 ↗ again kind of like what we were talking

37:54 ↗ about with um believe it was like the

37:57 ↗ bike facilities um just teeing it up for

37:59 ↗ future conversations so that we can

38:01 ↗ connect the future light rail station

38:04 ↗ with the bike

38:09 ↗ network is there a question about this

38:12 ↗ is there anything kind of

38:14 ↗ related do you think there's anything

38:16 ↗ needed when you know the walking element

38:19 ↗ saying like you know we need sidewalks

38:22 ↗ within a quarter mile of trans Transit

38:25 ↗ stops is there a way

38:27 ↗ to that through here as

38:30 ↗ well yeah so that would be like more of

38:32 ↗ a specific um action item that we would

38:35 ↗ cover in the mobility master plan so

38:37 ↗ like that very specific thing that's

38:39 ↗ that's a great comment though um that

38:42 ↗ would be just an implementation kind of

38:44 ↗ thing

38:46 ↗ yeah but it sounds like there's emphasis

38:49 ↗ on uh walking walk shed sort of um

38:54 ↗ connections to to Transit

38:58 ↗ um yeah we can certainly add that to the

39:01 ↗ mobility master plan as a consideration

39:09 ↗ yeah any additional comments or

39:12 ↗ questions for this

39:16 ↗ one uh next one is Transit um so with

39:21 ↗ this one this is f section um really

39:27 ↗ just amending it to add uh more actions

39:31 ↗ uh so this is sort of spelling out some

39:33 ↗ things that we um would like to see as

39:37 ↗ we prepare for high-capacity Transit um

39:41 ↗ these are some general things that we

39:42 ↗ could be looking at um so these are just

39:45 ↗ like the action steps that we're

39:47 ↗ proposing

39:49 ↗ um again uh with

39:52 ↗ F2 uh adding language to

39:57 ↗ uh anticipate Light Rail and other

40:01 ↗ Transit service that would uh connect to

40:04 ↗ light rail so just sort of thinking

40:06 ↗ about that um in the 20-year window that

40:09 ↗ this document is all about

40:15 ↗ um F4 is yeah again this an F F4 and F5

40:20 ↗ are new um so these are establishing

40:23 ↗ Partnerships um these are sort of

40:25 ↗ formalizing relationships that we've

40:28 ↗ been developing

40:29 ↗ um for a long time but especially during

40:32 ↗ the trend study uh we've been

40:34 ↗ formalizing these Partnerships um in

40:38 ↗ collaborating with King County Metro and

40:40 ↗ Sound Transit there's a lot of ways that

40:42 ↗ staff can uh enhance Transit options

40:46 ↗ access and reliability um one example is

40:50 ↗ our new uh program or uh our new shuttle

40:54 ↗ program so it's super exciting um that

40:56 ↗ way was a partnership with Metro um and

40:59 ↗ the city um so this is sort of

41:02 ↗ formalizing those ways that you know we

41:03 ↗ can think about um other options for how

41:08 ↗ to get transit in the community um if

41:11 ↗ there's some access improvements we can

41:13 ↗ do um or if there's

41:15 ↗ reliability uh issues that the city can

41:17 ↗ help out with so that is F4 and then F5

41:23 ↗ is uh kind of more specific to things

41:26 ↗ that the city can control with Transit

41:28 ↗ so we would like to start measuring

41:30 ↗ Transit performance so that we can see

41:32 ↗ how we're doing um and if there's any

41:35 ↗ ways that we can improve it on our end

41:38 ↗ this is consistent with state

41:40 ↗ requirements so this is sort of just

41:42 ↗ formalizing that kind of

41:50 ↗ thing I'll jump in for F1 can we Transit

41:55 ↗ speed Rel reliability and access um I

41:59 ↗ reliability is kind of similar to it but

42:02 ↗ add frequency as

42:04 ↗ well so this for F4 no F1 F1 that hands

42:09 ↗ Transit speed frequency reliability and

42:13 ↗ access and access is related to

42:16 ↗ accessibility right that's the idea

42:20 ↗ there uh yes

42:22 ↗ yeah so sorry speed reliability access

42:25 ↗ and

42:35 ↗ frequency

42:39 ↗ comments talking about frequency of

42:41 ↗ service yeah

42:55 ↗ service

42:59 ↗ I was just curious how um you would

43:02 ↗ measure the trans the performance

43:04 ↗ metrics have five so supposedly that's

43:09 ↗ already been developed a way to measure

43:11 ↗ that uh it has not so there there are

43:13 ↗ standard measurements um we have yet to

43:16 ↗ determine what our measurements would be

43:18 ↗ so that's sort of a to be that would be

43:21 ↗ like hashed out at a later date but just

43:22 ↗ generally this document has an

43:24 ↗ overarching statement uh saying we want

43:27 ↗ to collect uh metrics so that we can

43:32 ↗ um monitor how we're doing how Transit

43:36 ↗ is doing and if there's anything that

43:38 ↗ the city can do to help out

43:41 ↗ understanding that we don't provide

43:42 ↗ Transit but there's certainly things

43:44 ↗ that we can do to sort of facilitate it

43:46 ↗ um so those metrics that the city has

43:49 ↗ control over we haven't uh formally

43:52 ↗ developed yet um but that will be

43:54 ↗ something that we will be doing

44:02 ↗ but you'll need more employees to do

44:05 ↗ that or it's it's not much of a lift uh

44:10 ↗ I mean depending on what data you're

44:12 ↗ trying to track so I think it'd be

44:14 ↗ important to track data that is uh

44:18 ↗ achievable and like it's not going to be

44:20 ↗ too crazy um we do already have a great

44:23 ↗ working relationship with our Transit

44:25 ↗ providers

44:26 ↗ um they do have full-time data staff

44:29 ↗ that help out with these requests so

44:31 ↗ it's really just uh depending on what

44:34 ↗ metric you're trying to track it can be

44:35 ↗ a very simple um simple ask but just

44:39 ↗ knowing where you're at is super

44:40 ↗ important for making decisions so um

44:43 ↗ this is just formalizing

44:52 ↗ that just keep moving on

44:54 ↗ then

44:56 ↗ uh gold G this is auto travel

45:00 ↗ um for G3 we're proposing

45:04 ↗ changing the policy language uh to be

45:07 ↗ more in line with what we have heard uh

45:10 ↗ with tile 18 land use code updates so

45:15 ↗ um I think most of you were here for

45:18 ↗ those conversations um but just to recap

45:22 ↗ um there was a huge emphasis on parking

45:26 ↗ during the tile 18 land use code updates

45:28 ↗ um a lot of it was related to

45:29 ↗ development required parking um and

45:35 ↗ council is very interested in doing a

45:37 ↗ parking study uh to right siiz parking

45:40 ↗ policies um so this policy uh change in

45:44 ↗ the comprehensive plan is really um sort

45:47 ↗ of formalizing uh what we've heard

45:49 ↗ through that process

45:51 ↗ um

45:53 ↗ and the original statement was was

45:56 ↗ related to a very specific part of the

45:58 ↗ city um and then it talked about like

46:01 ↗ General statements about

46:04 ↗ um different communities uh we're

46:07 ↗ interested in looking at the entire city

46:10 ↗ and rightsizing parking policiy so this

46:12 ↗ one is just uh the proposal is really

46:15 ↗ just to update the language um based on

46:17 ↗ what we've heard over the uh long tally

46:21 ↗ team

46:24 ↗ process so this is

46:27 ↗ basically not really it's not it's not

46:30 ↗ really dictating much it's just saying

46:34 ↗ um is just going to the um tile 18

46:39 ↗ policy

46:40 ↗ or yeah this this one is really saying

46:45 ↗ um ensure that parking is Right sized

46:50 ↗ and then the actions that would come out

46:53 ↗ of that would likely be the parking

46:54 ↗ study and then any anything that um is

46:57 ↗ recommended through

46:58 ↗ that um

47:00 ↗ so it's it's kind of hard because like

47:02 ↗ this is this is really supposed to be

47:04 ↗ like a broad statement

47:06 ↗ um and I think as we right siiz parking

47:11 ↗ many things could come out of

47:13 ↗ that um many many actions that would be

47:17 ↗ determined from other studies or um

47:20 ↗ through the

47:21 ↗ implementation um of the mobility master

47:23 ↗ plan or other other documents but this

47:26 ↗ is really just saying um you know in

47:28 ↗ general we want to make sure that

47:30 ↗ parking is adequate for our

47:35 ↗ needs and then the right side the right

47:37 ↗ side is also

47:39 ↗ saying we can also like a maximum or we

47:43 ↗ can yeah that that could be a a

47:46 ↗ recommendation of future actions yeah

47:49 ↗ yeah

47:51 ↗ yeah so question on the policy side do

47:54 ↗ we have

47:58 ↗ so certain business need right might be

48:02 ↗ spotsy side we say that if over certain

48:06 ↗ size double then would reduce

48:14 ↗ thef ring the

48:24 ↗ mass right

48:26 ↗ yeah those those very specific policies

48:29 ↗ are um all within the land use code uh

48:32 ↗ we do have provisions on um structured

48:36 ↗ parking

48:38 ↗ uh I think we all acknowledge that um

48:41 ↗ the parking policies that we have in the

48:43 ↗ land use code um they work for now uh

48:47 ↗ but I think council is interested in uh

48:50 ↗ taking a look at it and uh further

48:54 ↗ fine-tuning it um

48:56 ↗ yeah so that that that is that is one of

49:00 ↗ the things we will be looking at in

49:01 ↗ addition to everything else in that but

49:03 ↗ we're going to look at the whole thing

49:05 ↗ like just open it up and redo the whole

49:07 ↗ thing um if it still holds true we're

49:09 ↗ going to keep it um but if it doesn't if

49:13 ↗ there's a way to optimize it we're going

49:15 ↗ to propose changing that

49:24 ↗ too

49:28 ↗ um and then for G4 uh manage Street

49:31 ↗ curbs um this is a new policy and it's

49:36 ↗ really in acknowledgement of a need to

49:41 ↗ consider how our curves are being used

49:44 ↗ um this will be especially important as

49:47 ↗ uh for instance as Central isqua grows

49:51 ↗ um so an example could be um you know a

49:55 ↗ standard curb

49:57 ↗ if everything is parked out if there's

50:00 ↗ cars parking it um there becomes

50:03 ↗ concerns about where deliveries would

50:05 ↗ happen um I've seen it where delivery

50:09 ↗ vehicles are parked where they should

50:10 ↗ not be um it creates like concerns about

50:13 ↗ safety or um you know sort of other

50:17 ↗ other ways both for the driver and then

50:19 ↗ if there's like line of side issues um

50:22 ↗ so it's really important to like manage

50:24 ↗ curb space um it may not be important in

50:27 ↗ some neighborhoods but it could be more

50:29 ↗ important in others where there's a lot

50:31 ↗ of demand for it um so this statement

50:36 ↗ sort of like the other one is saying uh

50:39 ↗ consider uh managing Street curb space

50:43 ↗ um and just sort of formalizing that as

50:46 ↗ a statement um you obviously wouldn't

50:49 ↗ want to manage it if it's not needed it

50:51 ↗ just doesn't really make any sense um so

50:55 ↗ this sort of opens the door to um

50:58 ↗ ensuring that streets are operating

50:59 ↗ efficiently um through potential

51:01 ↗ Management

51:05 ↗ Solutions sort of like those three

51:08 ↗ minute parking signs exactly yeah that's

51:10 ↗ that's that's one option

51:17 ↗ yeah

51:18 ↗ like

51:22 ↗ y yeah there's a lot of needs for the

51:27 ↗ curb and if you have one solution for

51:29 ↗ everything it doesn't work well um so

51:32 ↗ depending on the need if there's a

51:34 ↗ specific hot spot we could look at that

51:37 ↗ and say this could be done better um

51:42 ↗ some examples that are like really easy

51:45 ↗ include like if there's 40 feet of curb

51:51 ↗ and somebody's parked right in the

51:53 ↗ middle you could fit two cars in there

51:56 ↗ but

51:57 ↗ like one person is just taking up two

51:59 ↗ spots like that that's like a real easy

52:02 ↗ example of like you could just he y that

52:06 ↗ would be like a good example of curve

52:08 ↗ management

52:09 ↗ just is there any like prescrip it

52:13 ↗ already exists but like uh like

52:16 ↗ prescriptive rules about like how often

52:17 ↗ you have to restripe parking spots I

52:20 ↗ know there is for like The Lawns on the

52:22 ↗ road and stuff but the ones in front of

52:25 ↗ my building are like really faded and I

52:27 ↗ don't that happens all the time where I

52:29 ↗ think people just like don't see them

52:32 ↗ yeah yeah I'm not I'm not sure what our

52:35 ↗ like maintenance schedule is for that um

52:38 ↗ yeah I unfortunately don't know that

52:39 ↗ information yeah I do know that we're

52:42 ↗ you know constantly Paving All Around

52:44 ↗ Town

52:45 ↗ um yeah a specific treatment for like

52:48 ↗ the example I was talking about would be

52:49 ↗ like a pavement type thing but then like

52:52 ↗ if you're yeah yeah sorry I I don't know

52:56 ↗ the specific instead of

52:58 ↗ P yeah yeah like you could you could do

53:01 ↗ a couple options for that yeah but um

53:04 ↗ yeah there's like uh the curb itself and

53:06 ↗ then there's like Street stuff too you

53:08 ↗ can do it's like sort of facilitating

53:10 ↗ both of those the library

53:14 ↗ drop people

53:17 ↗ returns just for

53:21 ↗ that Belle view just recently adopt some

53:24 ↗ curve Space Management

53:27 ↗ policy downtown I don't know I can look

53:29 ↗ into that yeah yeah yeah there's there's

53:32 ↗ a lot of really great examples

53:35 ↗ um we would obviously we don't want to

53:38 ↗ like over manage anything so like we

53:41 ↗ would want to do it for like where the

53:43 ↗ actual issues are um but again like we

53:47 ↗ we don't have any policy that talks

53:49 ↗ about curb space um and it will be or it

53:54 ↗ currently is an issue uh in certain

53:56 ↗ areas so I think it's just it's a good

54:00 ↗ way to think outside of just parking but

54:02 ↗ also like deliveries and like if there's

54:06 ↗ um you know short short-term kind of

54:09 ↗ things uh just making sure that there's

54:12 ↗ turnover so that there's a spot when you

54:15 ↗ need

54:24 ↗ it

54:25 ↗ uh so that brings us to the

54:29 ↗ end of those um so feedback I think

54:33 ↗ we've gotten feedback along the way um I

54:37 ↗ was talking a lot and I did not write

54:40 ↗ all my notes down um but I will

54:42 ↗ certainly review this

54:45 ↗ um this recording and I will go through

54:48 ↗ all the feedback um but I I think we

54:51 ↗ received a lot of good feedback thus far

54:54 ↗ um question for this group uh so do the

54:58 ↗ proposed goals and policies address

54:59 ↗ isqua's Transportation

55:03 ↗ needs I think

55:05 ↗ so we can

55:07 ↗ go round and just talk about the

55:12 ↗ overall

55:22 ↗ feedback well I don't I don't really

55:25 ↗ have anything to add it seems like this

55:27 ↗ is um already been pretty well thought

55:30 ↗ out um before we got it so um but maybe

55:36 ↗ if I was um maybe tomorrow on them out

55:40 ↗ walking or something think of something

55:43 ↗ right

55:43 ↗ now yeah and definitely like if you

55:46 ↗ think of anything let me know I'm happy

55:51 ↗ to record that if new information um or

55:56 ↗ you know new questions you have um I'm

55:58 ↗ happy to feel those as well

56:18 ↗ too the question of just follow was in

56:21 ↗ the polies in the master plan mobility

56:25 ↗ within the S grow better connected s

56:29 ↗ region environmental sustainability

56:33 ↗ environmental wisely and anticipate

56:42 ↗ transformation I think a lot of these

56:45 ↗ are the same that are in here although

56:46 ↗ they around a little bit and some uh

56:49 ↗ clarifications

56:51 ↗ of still

56:53 ↗ consistent

57:00 ↗ yeah it's um good information my only

57:03 ↗ concern that um when it comes to the

57:06 ↗ rate of growth that is

57:09 ↗ recorded uh and the plans we're trying

57:12 ↗ to accommodate that growth I don't know

57:15 ↗ if this is like fresh data or is it

57:17 ↗ outdated like it's the rate of growth

57:20 ↗ probably is much faster than the way we

57:23 ↗ react or yeah so it's like we're always

57:30 ↗ trying to catch

57:33 ↗ growth so but yeah very good

57:39 ↗ information thank

57:44 ↗ you yeah no

57:48 ↗ I arsing off or anything I like the um

57:53 ↗ like I know it's little word but the

57:56 ↗ um

57:59 ↗ changing uh visit stations to stops I

58:02 ↗ like that I think that's really in line

58:05 ↗ with the master Mobility plan and making

58:09 ↗ Transit a t

58:14 ↗ option yeah I mean I think generally

58:17 ↗ this is a good set of policies um you

58:24 ↗ know of course so there's a couple of

58:26 ↗ edits that should happen you know adding

58:29 ↗ Transit frequency on there and trying to

58:32 ↗ there clarify what we mean by support of

58:35 ↗ land use around the Light Rail station

58:37 ↗ some really key issues there and you

58:41 ↗ know this should be something that we're

58:43 ↗ trying to perceive in like 2040 what

58:46 ↗ this needs in 2040 right and so I do

58:51 ↗ like you know that trying to address

58:54 ↗ some of our prev previous shortcomings

58:56 ↗ when it comes to not adopting some of

58:58 ↗ these micromobility options and trying

59:01 ↗ to put this stuff into the plan so that

59:04 ↗ we actually end up having to do it

59:07 ↗ um and

59:09 ↗ so you know there's I think this is Gen

59:12 ↗ this these pules generally have good um

59:16 ↗ for sight in terms of what this will

59:18 ↗ need in

59:20 ↗ 2040 um yeah

59:23 ↗ definitely so sharpening language but

59:26 ↗ overall it's it's good my opinion great

59:29 ↗ thank you yeah and just to add we we do

59:34 ↗ regularly update these more than before

59:37 ↗ 2044 so uh as as the

59:41 ↗ community uh grows or needs change we

59:45 ↗ will definitely look at this again um it

59:48 ↗ is hard to say where we will be in 20

59:50 ↗ years we have projections we have ideas

59:53 ↗ um but

59:55 ↗ we are constantly

59:57 ↗ um looking at this and trying to update

1:00:00 ↗ it accordingly based on the best

1:00:03 ↗ knowledge that we have right

1:00:06 ↗ now my perception or my idea is like you

1:00:09 ↗ know this even if we can update it the

1:00:12 ↗ next time in 2030 or 2032 right I think

1:00:16 ↗ that'll be the next update the ne the

1:00:20 ↗ next required uh update but we typically

1:00:24 ↗ do it more often than that based on need

1:00:27 ↗ yeah that's that's just been the way

1:00:28 ↗ that we've done it because we don't want

1:00:30 ↗ to wait 10 years to update this thing

1:00:33 ↗ it's just that's sort of like the state

1:00:35 ↗ requirement but we're trying to do

1:00:37 ↗ better than

1:00:38 ↗ that I mean there's just more plans and

1:00:42 ↗ policies

1:00:44 ↗ that that the city will have to end up

1:00:47 ↗ or build up and so it should be should

1:00:51 ↗ have policy with goals with forite in

1:00:55 ↗ this um before we have to keep

1:00:58 ↗ updating yeah that's

1:01:02 ↗ my um and then last question are there

1:01:05 ↗ topics not being

1:01:13 ↗ addressed so I I'll put something out

1:01:18 ↗ there um

1:01:20 ↗ so I heard from one of my neighbors

1:01:25 ↗ who was a teacher in elementary school

1:01:27 ↗ is there's declining

1:01:30 ↗ enrollment in isqua so there is a chance

1:01:35 ↗ that isqua won't grow because it's it's

1:01:40 ↗ supposedly because of the housing prices

1:01:43 ↗ a lot of young families are not moving

1:01:45 ↗ in to isqua right now and so what has

1:01:48 ↗ been happening is there's been a

1:01:50 ↗ decrease in the number of um um

1:01:54 ↗ elementary school children so so we

1:01:57 ↗ really don't know if this was going to

1:02:00 ↗ grow

1:02:02 ↗ right the

1:02:08 ↗ exact definitely all over east

1:02:12 ↗ side

1:02:17 ↗ grami is but the Belle

1:02:20 ↗ viw um had a decrease maybe five years

1:02:23 ↗ before

1:02:26 ↗ or something right I think things are

1:02:28 ↗ reciprocal

1:02:30 ↗ so be

1:02:31 ↗ res so we look at this we're still

1:02:34 ↗ looking

1:02:35 ↗ at 10 20 years

1:02:38 ↗ out a lot of that is also the effects of

1:02:40 ↗ the pandemic a lot of students are being

1:02:42 ↗ home

1:02:43 ↗ schooled so while there is some

1:02:46 ↗ attachment to growth versus non-growth

1:02:48 ↗ it's also just stents as well yeah

1:02:51 ↗ you're right just opened up so I took a

1:02:53 ↗ long draw from

1:03:00 ↗ I want to throw something at the wall

1:03:03 ↗ for

1:03:05 ↗ this I think would be

1:03:07 ↗ useful maybe to start thinking about

1:03:10 ↗ safety policies around autonomous

1:03:15 ↗ vehicles that's a good one about what

1:03:18 ↗ kind of vehicles tons Vehicles

1:03:22 ↗ driving I think there should be some

1:03:25 ↗ goal about you know setting some safety

1:03:29 ↗ guidelines or well not safety guidelines

1:03:31 ↗ safety regulations around the use of

1:03:34 ↗ theous vehicles

1:03:36 ↗ within sa Squad and you know companies

1:03:39 ↗ who want to Pilot their

1:03:41 ↗ autonomous self-driving you know their

1:03:43 ↗ self-driving

1:03:45 ↗ Vehicles if anyone does but yeah it's

1:03:49 ↗ still useful

1:03:50 ↗ sure have safety regulations in place

1:03:56 ↗ we start thinking about that okay but

1:04:00 ↗ hopefully before we get the self driving

1:04:04 ↗ they they had tested

1:04:11 ↗ pretty I've seen them in other parts of

1:04:13 ↗ the country um yeah actively yeah I

1:04:18 ↗ think testing is they're constantly

1:04:21 ↗ reiterating over um

1:04:26 ↗ yeah any other topics that are not being

1:04:31 ↗ addressed I know it's kind of like BL

1:04:34 ↗ throughout some ways

1:04:38 ↗ um you know

1:04:42 ↗ like trans access to jobs Services for

1:04:47 ↗ Seniors people disabilities bols

1:04:50 ↗ but is there a initially like my thought

1:04:54 ↗ was just like a like cuz these are kind

1:04:55 ↗ of chunked out into sections right like

1:04:58 ↗ I guess quality of life is kind of

1:05:00 ↗ underneath this but like just like

1:05:02 ↗ accessibility and then now I'm kind of

1:05:04 ↗ Shifting to like well as it just like

1:05:05 ↗ overall kind like um not seeing that as

1:05:11 ↗ like like a bucket in here and I don't

1:05:14 ↗ know I don't know if it's just because

1:05:15 ↗ oh like good job of putting it within

1:05:19 ↗ the other buckets or you know this is

1:05:22 ↗ all I had um so sorry could I clear get

1:05:27 ↗ well because I don't really have a is it

1:05:30 ↗ is it kind of a concern about um I guess

1:05:33 ↗ it's not called out specifically yeah

1:05:35 ↗ but I'm seeing it is in some of like

1:05:37 ↗ individual policies

1:05:40 ↗ so yeah I don't but that's just a

1:05:43 ↗ thought that I had is that it's not in

1:05:46 ↗ there's no specific section for it at

1:05:49 ↗ least for Equity yeah Equity or even

1:05:51 ↗ just like accessibility um yeah yeah

1:05:56 ↗ like the part that would include the

1:05:59 ↗ like sure that like our Salk are all

1:06:00 ↗ buil out C Cuts

1:06:03 ↗ yeah yeah I guess sort of the line of

1:06:06 ↗ thought is like we're hoping that it's

1:06:09 ↗ inwoven into yeah everything that we're

1:06:11 ↗ doing um we want to build streets so

1:06:15 ↗ that everybody can use it so it's sort

1:06:16 ↗ of like just an assumed thing that you

1:06:19 ↗ would do already uh we do have specific

1:06:22 ↗ statements related to like complete

1:06:24 ↗ streets um uh just that is policies that

1:06:29 ↗ are in the land use code um that are

1:06:32 ↗ thinking the street standards as well um

1:06:34 ↗ this is sort of like that's a

1:06:36 ↗ requirement by the state and like we

1:06:38 ↗ want to do it anyways but um yeah this

1:06:40 ↗ one is sort of another general statement

1:06:43 ↗ saying that we want to do it um for

1:06:46 ↗ specific types of groups such as seniors

1:06:50 ↗ but also just like everybody in general

1:06:53 ↗ yeah

1:06:55 ↗ I'm not sure if it's something to add

1:06:56 ↗ this but the thing I

1:06:59 ↗ was was um

1:07:02 ↗ emergency uations on the city this last

1:07:06 ↗ summer being very dry we have on this

1:07:09 ↗ side

1:07:10 ↗ California

1:07:13 ↗ place but um but I think you have

1:07:15 ↗ emergency like that how we roads into

1:07:18 ↗ evacuation RS going

1:07:22 ↗ east yeah would be something we would

1:07:25 ↗ look at trans policy to have some sort

1:07:28 ↗ of guidelines or plan for that y yeah

1:07:32 ↗ that's that's great that's our B2 right

1:07:34 ↗ here um this is a new uh so I think yeah

1:07:38 ↗ we covered this uh right after talking

1:07:41 ↗ about moving things to the en

1:07:43 ↗ environmental element um so this is a

1:07:46 ↗ new State uh guidance is that we need to

1:07:50 ↗ think about uh evacuations resiliency

1:07:53 ↗ all that so uh this requirement is or

1:07:56 ↗ like this policy is specific to mapping

1:07:59 ↗ uh Transportation infrastructure and

1:08:02 ↗ designated routes where uh where like we

1:08:06 ↗ would need those to be open um or closed

1:08:09 ↗ so that people can

1:08:11 ↗ evacuate those

1:08:13 ↗ situations that's a good thought it's

1:08:16 ↗ it's on everybody's mind right now um

1:08:19 ↗ it's definitely something we want to

1:08:21 ↗ look into and we're hoping to like

1:08:22 ↗ formalize that in

1:08:25 ↗ here I also I will also add that um

1:08:29 ↗ sanish worked with a company recently to

1:08:32 ↗ put together a formal report about

1:08:34 ↗ evacuation routes and problem spots and

1:08:38 ↗ all that um so we the Ci's especially

1:08:42 ↗ Public Works has been in active talks

1:08:45 ↗ with that consultant to possibly partner

1:08:48 ↗ with them or some other company so those

1:08:51 ↗ discussions are are already

1:08:55 ↗ so yes

1:09:09 ↗ great do have a couple more slides this

1:09:11 ↗ is just this Rec cap the night here um

1:09:14 ↗ this is sort of what we're doing with

1:09:16 ↗ the comprehensive plan in general um so

1:09:19 ↗ we're at the bottom this is the

1:09:20 ↗ transportation Advisory Board um your

1:09:23 ↗ feed back will be provided to the

1:09:25 ↗ planning policy board uh there will be a

1:09:28 ↗ public hearing uh through the planning

1:09:30 ↗ policy board and then Council will adopt

1:09:33 ↗ the comprehensive plan uh which includes

1:09:35 ↗ the transportation element um and so

1:09:38 ↗ this is sort of

1:09:40 ↗ the the structure of like what we can

1:09:42 ↗ expect with this project um so we're in

1:09:44 ↗ the phase two engagement talking about

1:09:46 ↗ goals and policies um again PPC will do

1:09:51 ↗ the public hearing uh we think

1:09:54 ↗ sometime early next year uh we're then

1:09:57 ↗ going to adopt the entire uh

1:10:00 ↗ comprehensive plan and then it'll be

1:10:02 ↗ certified towards the end of the

1:10:05 ↗ year that's

1:10:09 ↗ it thank you thank

1:10:13 ↗ you

1:10:15 ↗ okay Thomas uh we'll move on to reports

1:10:20 ↗ now um the board work plan for the next

1:10:24 ↗ few

1:10:25 ↗ months just next one

1:10:40 ↗ month

1:10:43 ↗ okay uh thank you Julian um okay so

1:11:41 ↗ January I mean we're we're looking to

1:11:44 ↗ toward the future or just looking at uh

1:11:47 ↗ what what next year looks like still so

1:11:50 ↗ uh since we're a few months out from

1:11:52 ↗ that be the 29th

1:11:59 ↗ yes that

1:12:02 ↗ sounds I think you got a notice already

1:12:06 ↗ yes I think I I rescheduled it

1:12:09 ↗ formally um so yeah hopefully we'll have

1:12:12 ↗ more information about January next

1:12:16 ↗ month but that concludes that

1:12:20 ↗ report thank you and then we'll move to

1:12:23 ↗ staff

1:12:25 ↗ report yes a couple of things let me

1:12:28 ↗ grab it usually I'd have it right in

1:12:30 ↗ front of me on here but since

1:12:33 ↗ we're um I got an email this morning

1:12:36 ↗ from John mortensson he wanted me to to

1:12:38 ↗ share a specific project that was part

1:12:41 ↗ of the Strategic small capital projects

1:12:43 ↗ that you looked at I think sometime the

1:12:45 ↗ last year or two um and he wanted me to

1:12:49 ↗ share that the um our senior signal Tech

1:12:53 ↗ Mission officially let us know that the

1:12:56 ↗ uh East Lake sanish uh Trail in 56th

1:13:01 ↗ over there um that cross well yeah where

1:13:04 ↗ the trail crosses 56 next to East M

1:13:08 ↗ Parkway um the modifications to that

1:13:11 ↗ intersection are now done is very

1:13:13 ↗ exciting uh those modifications included

1:13:16 ↗ um the installation of a no right on red

1:13:19 ↗ sign when it when it comes up to the

1:13:21 ↗ trail Crossing so if someone comes up to

1:13:23 ↗ the trail Crossing yeah no one if that

1:13:26 ↗ uh is illuminated then people have to

1:13:30 ↗ stop and let people go on the trail I

1:13:32 ↗ know what a crazy idea I love it

1:13:36 ↗ um along with that the southbound

1:13:38 ↗ dedicated right turn lane is now a

1:13:40 ↗ flashing yellow right arrow that comes

1:13:43 ↗ up when the southbound green is up and

1:13:46 ↗ there is not a pedestrian and when there

1:13:48 ↗ is a pedestrian uh the dedicated signal

1:13:51 ↗ display now goes red

1:13:53 ↗ with

1:13:55 ↗ those no turn on right uh signs as well

1:13:58 ↗ so there's multiple different beacons

1:14:00 ↗ that have been changed it's very

1:14:02 ↗ exciting

1:14:04 ↗ um like everywhere day I think not this

1:14:07 ↗ year but last year and having bikers be

1:14:09 ↗ like I'm about to almost get hit and

1:14:11 ↗ then they would almost go and get hit

1:14:13 ↗ you know that thing so that's very

1:14:16 ↗ exciting um and then the other thing of

1:14:18 ↗ course is uh Metroflex launched uh

1:14:21 ↗ almost two weeks ago now uh last Monday

1:14:25 ↗ um on Monday we had uh a formal launch

1:14:28 ↗ event that'll show up on YouTube the

1:14:30 ↗ YouTube page at some point uh thank you

1:14:32 ↗ to Julian and Erica and Dave who is not

1:14:36 ↗ here it's on my

1:14:39 ↗ phone um but uh yeah so thank you to

1:14:44 ↗ three that came out um and yeah it was

1:14:48 ↗ it was a nice little event for po City

1:14:49 ↗ Council on Monday and uh I will we

1:14:53 ↗ hopefully have some data for you next

1:14:55 ↗ month I I'm still waiting on our first

1:14:58 ↗ week's data and maybe we'll even have

1:15:00 ↗ first month data next month for you but

1:15:03 ↗ um it sounds like it's going very well

1:15:05 ↗ heard a lot of anecdotal stories about

1:15:07 ↗ people taking it um I went over to the

1:15:10 ↗ senior center today and uh one of the

1:15:13 ↗ staff or no one of the members of the

1:15:15 ↗ senior center was like oh someone one of

1:15:18 ↗ my friends called me and she needs to

1:15:20 ↗ talk to you about the problems that she

1:15:21 ↗ encountered so she like got me speaker

1:15:23 ↗ phone and I got to talk to her and she

1:15:25 ↗ was like I took it three times on Monday

1:15:27 ↗ and it went terribly and then I took it

1:15:29 ↗ yesterday it was great so you know there

1:15:31 ↗ L being worked out um but other other

1:15:35 ↗ than that it sounds like it's it's

1:15:37 ↗ pretty successful for the first couple

1:15:39 ↗ weeks so any I'll stop talking about it

1:15:40 ↗ it's all I think about these days um I

1:15:44 ↗ don't think I have anything else for

1:15:45 ↗ staff

1:15:48 ↗ report that's really good yeah it's very

1:15:52 ↗ exciting yeah

1:15:54 ↗ uh no chair reports and no youth report

1:15:58 ↗ so there will hopefully youth report

1:16:01 ↗ next month

1:16:02 ↗ hopefully have you chosen we have yeah

1:16:05 ↗ and we've recommended it to the mayor's

1:16:07 ↗ office I I remembered it as we were

1:16:09 ↗ sitting here and I sent a reminder to

1:16:11 ↗ the mayor's office asking hey what's the

1:16:13 ↗ status so hopefully the mayor will

1:16:15 ↗ approve that by the time next month

1:16:17 ↗ rolls around and our our youth represent

1:16:21 ↗ representative will hopefully join us

1:16:22 ↗ next so be

1:16:25 ↗ primary so we tried so we had yeah we

1:16:28 ↗ interviewed two youths um we wanted to

1:16:32 ↗ propose the idea of having a primary an

1:16:36 ↗ Al but the way we I guess the way the

1:16:40 ↗ city uh structured the the offering out

1:16:45 ↗ there um we they were like well that's

1:16:47 ↗ not what we asked so we're only going to

1:16:49 ↗ have the one and then we invited the

1:16:51 ↗ other one that we interviewed to apply

1:16:53 ↗ next year of course we'll promote in the

1:16:56 ↗ school districts

1:16:58 ↗ so yeah it's exciting glad to glad to

1:17:02 ↗ have that person start with

1:17:05 ↗ us and his term will be for a full year

1:17:09 ↗ or two-year term yeah twoe term so I

1:17:12 ↗ think that'll bring him into his senior

1:17:16 ↗ year I think is

1:17:20 ↗ how any other business or

1:17:23 ↗ yeah I just want to ask about the uh

1:17:26 ↗ last meeting public speaker the comment

1:17:29 ↗ or the complaint he was putting forward

1:17:32 ↗ how do we handle this what what's the

1:17:34 ↗ next

1:17:36 ↗ step Next Step will be so he is aware I

1:17:41 ↗ think he I think Emily moon talked to

1:17:43 ↗ him I don't know if uh Emily was able to

1:17:46 ↗ follow up with that gentleman or not um

1:17:49 ↗ Emily if you're there if you you did get

1:17:52 ↗ to talk to him after afterwards I'm not

1:17:56 ↗ sure hey John can you repeat

1:17:58 ↗ that uh hany was asking about um I can't

1:18:04 ↗ the gentleman who joined us for public

1:18:06 ↗ comment last month I believe you were

1:18:08 ↗ going to follow up with him

1:18:11 ↗ possibly yes I think largely we were

1:18:13 ↗ able to answer his questions I gave him

1:18:17 ↗ my card and asked him to call me if he

1:18:20 ↗ had additional ones he has not

1:18:23 ↗ okay um yeah but the real question is

1:18:27 ↗ you know will City be able to do

1:18:29 ↗ anything yeah a priority so um he the I

1:18:35 ↗ guess behind the scenes so he had

1:18:37 ↗ originally called he called me a couple

1:18:38 ↗ months ago so and I said come and talk

1:18:41 ↗ to tab if you want to so then he did um

1:18:45 ↗ so next steps I think will be I'm

1:18:47 ↗ bringing the new traffic calming policy

1:18:49 ↗ before you next month um this that's the

1:18:53 ↗ policy that affects his situation that

1:18:55 ↗ he's addressing and so hopefully um we

1:18:59 ↗ can get that adopted early next year and

1:19:01 ↗ then we we can actually address the

1:19:03 ↗ issue as as the process will will

1:19:06 ↗ dictate so um yeah it was great that we

1:19:10 ↗ had a we had an

1:19:12 ↗ actual public commentary for once it was

1:19:14 ↗ great is it possible to send

1:19:17 ↗ him like give him a heads up that

1:19:19 ↗ recovering

1:19:21 ↗ that yeah he's he's aware you know um

1:19:24 ↗ and so I I'll yeah I'll make sure to to

1:19:27 ↗ make sure that he knows I I thought he

1:19:29 ↗ was going to come and offer public

1:19:31 ↗ comment when I brought it so maybe I'll

1:19:35 ↗ I'll me talk to and say hey

1:19:39 ↗ nov oh I I have a so there seems to be

1:19:44 ↗ traffic caling there's a detour right

1:19:47 ↗ now due to construction on Juniper

1:19:49 ↗ Street right across from Gilman Village

1:19:53 ↗ so

1:19:54 ↗ then right so if you're driving north on

1:19:58 ↗ Juniper Street once you cross the bridge

1:20:01 ↗ then you make a right on the Second

1:20:03 ↗ Avenue is the detour because Juniper

1:20:06 ↗ Street are putting in that new

1:20:09 ↗ sidewalk right yeah okay so then they

1:20:13 ↗ have this detour and they seem to have

1:20:15 ↗ just installed traffic coming there is

1:20:19 ↗ that temporary traffic I am not involved

1:20:23 ↗ that's a i if if it is I think it is

1:20:26 ↗ temporary do you Emily you know you know

1:20:31 ↗ stuff I do I know some stuff this is a

1:20:34 ↗ stuff I know so yes uh those uh traffic

1:20:40 ↗ calming devices are temporary speed

1:20:44 ↗ table speed cushions speed humps and um

1:20:50 ↗ I requested that our staff and install

1:20:53 ↗ those uh just for the construction

1:20:56 ↗ project because it's a unique situation

1:20:59 ↗ where we are actually taking traffic

1:21:02 ↗ from a a kind of mixed use commercial

1:21:06 ↗ kind of collector Street and forcing it

1:21:08 ↗ into a residential area um which we try

1:21:12 ↗ to avoid but if you know the the

1:21:16 ↗ location in the uh geometry involved

1:21:19 ↗ there or there wasn't another choice so

1:21:22 ↗ um those will be removed after the

1:21:24 ↗ project is

1:21:26 ↗ completed the residents said like given

1:21:30 ↗ any feedback like oh no don't take them

1:21:32 ↗ or like I can't speak to U what we may

1:21:36 ↗ have heard from them so far but they

1:21:39 ↗ have been appreciative I know this I've

1:21:41 ↗ heard that they're appreciative of

1:21:43 ↗ having those devices there during the

1:21:45 ↗ project and the signage and the

1:21:48 ↗ communication from the city so I'm very

1:21:51 ↗ hopeful that they will recall call that

1:21:53 ↗ those will be removed I fully expect um

1:21:56 ↗ we'll have requests but they aren't the

1:21:58 ↗ only neighborhood who has requested

1:22:00 ↗ speed HPS and that's why it's really

1:22:02 ↗ important for us to get a um

1:22:05 ↗ comprehensive vetted and approved policy

1:22:08 ↗ so that um we are using those uh where

1:22:11 ↗ they're

1:22:20 ↗ appropriate any other business or

1:22:24 ↗ announcements oh question um so I go

1:22:27 ↗ back to Olympia temporarily during the

1:22:29 ↗ week of January through just March this

1:22:32 ↗ year um so I think January and February

1:22:36 ↗ I'll be down there I should be back just

1:22:37 ↗ going March and is it still approved to

1:22:41 ↗ join via

1:22:46 ↗ teams

1:22:48 ↗ question do we revote on our rules every

1:22:51 ↗ year

1:23:00 ↗ um uh let me let me think about let me

1:23:05 ↗ get back to you next one

1:23:09 ↗ okay

1:23:10 ↗ cool okay so I guess if we don't have

1:23:13 ↗ any other announcements or business uh

1:23:16 ↗ we'll Jo our meeting at

1:23:21 ↗ 7:35
