WE HAVE BY THE WAY OF TWO

O'BRIEN, I'LL MENTION THAT THIS
TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 5:30 THERE'S
A NOTICE AND CALL OF A SPECIAL
MEETING, WHICH IS A PUBLIC
HEARING AT THE SUSTAINABILITY

OF COURSE THE TOPIC.
AND THE ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH

HOWEVER WE DID HAVE OUR
COMMITTEE MEETING ON JUNE 5. IT
WAS VERY FORMATIVE AND MUCH
NEEDED AND TO SOME LEVEL PRETTY
MOTIONAL.
BY THE INDIAN CENTERS BOARD
CEO.
AND CHIEF RESEARCH OFFICER
ABIGAIL ECHO-HAWK.
ILLUSTRATED THE LACK OF DATA
COLLECTION AND CLASSIFICATION
OF MISSING MURDER INDIGENOUS
WOMEN AND GIRLS AT ALL LEVELS
OF GOVERNMENT.
AS YOU ALL KNOW AND WE HAVE
SHARED THERE, ARE MANY BARRIERS
TO FULLY UNDERSTANDING THE
SCOPE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT WE
HAVE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO
SHOW NUMBERS OF MISSING
MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN AND
GIRLS ARE SAD AND WRONG, AND WE
MUST DO BETTER AND WE HOPE TO
DO THAT.
I'LL BE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP
TO DEVELOP A PLAN FOR THIS AND
ALSO MY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO TEE
UP WITH THE LEGISLATION IF
YOU'RE INTERESTED IN LEARNING
MORE, YOU CAN VISIT AND WATCH
THE PRESENTATION OR READ THE
REPORT.
I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBER
GONZALEZ, MY VICE CHAIR
BAGSHAW, COUNCIL MEMBER SAWANT
FOR ATTENDING.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN
THIS URGENT AND MUCH NEEDED
TOPIC THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS.
OUR NEXT MEETING IS JUNE 19 AT
2:00 P.M.
COUNCIL MEMBER BAGSHAW, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR STEPPING IN
AND CHAIRING THAT FOR ME.
SO NEXT ON JUNE 6 I HAD THE
HONOR, WHICH I'VE DONE THREE
YEARS IN A ROW TO RING THE BELL
TO START THE LAKE CITY'S
FARMERS' MARKET.
THE UNIVERSITY DISTRICT STOLE
OUR BELL THIS YEAR.
WE WANT OUR BELL BACK.
THE RAIN DID NOT STOP OUR
NEIGHBORS FROM COMING OUT
ENJOYING THE DELICIOUS FOOD,
FLOWERS, AND LOCAL FARE.
I LOVE THIS EVENT BECAUSE IT
DEMONSTRATES THE STRENGTH OF
OUR COMMUNITY, MY TEAM AND I AS
USUAL WILL BE REGULARLY
ATTENDING THE FARMERS' MARKET.
I LOOK FORWARD TO CATCHING UP
WITH OLD FRIENDS AND
CONSTITUENTS.
FRIDAY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY
AND ALSO COUNCIL MEMBER BAGSHAW
AS WELL TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL
SPLASH FUNDRAISING EVENT WITH
MANY OTHERS AT THE AQUARIUM.
THEY MADE $1 MILLION.
THEY GAVE OUT TWO GUITARS FOR
$27,000 SIGNED BY SOME GUY AND
SOME BAND.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS NIRVANA
OR THE OTHER ONE.
WHAT'S THE OTHER ONE?
NO, IT WAS ANOTHER GROUP.
WHAT'S THE BIG GROUP?
>> SOUND GARDEN, NIRVANA, PEARL
JAM.
THEY SOLD TWO GUITARS FOR
$27,000.
IT WASN'T MY ERA GENERATION,
WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION.
ANY WHO NOT THAT THEY'RE NOT A
GOOD GROUP, I'M JUST SAYING I
WASN'T SURE WHO THEY WERE.
MOVING ON MANY PEOPLE, THEY
RAISED A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE
AQUARIUM THANK YOU TO BOB FOR
RAISING THE MONEY.
WE WANT TO THANK MARTHA AND HER
HUSBAND, PETER GOLDMAN, WHO
WERE ALSO CO-CHAIRS I BELIEVE
IN THE EVENT.
THANK YOU.
>> NICE OF THEM.
>> SO GOOD MORNING.
YOU DIDN'T CALL ME, BUT I'M
GOING.
>> I'M SORRY, COUNCIL MEMBER
BAGSHAW YOU'RE UP.
>> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT
HARRELL.
WE HAVE NOTHING ON THE FINANCE
AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMITTEE FROM
THE COMMITTEE TODAY THIS
AFTERNOON.
WE DO HAVE A COMMITTEE THIS
WEDNESDAY ON JUNE 12.
WE'VE GOT AN ORDINANCE FROM A
SEATTLE PUBLIC UTILITY BUILDING
LEASE AND THE BIG ONE IS A
RESPONSE FROM SWEETENED
BEVERAGE TAX AND SHORT-TERM
RENTALS TAX FUNDS AND HOW WE'RE
GOING TO INVEST THEM.
THE FIRST CONVERSATION WILL
HAPPEN IN MY COMMITTEE AND
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE HAVING
OUR FIRST CONVERSATION
APPOINTING BOBBY HUMES AS
DIRECTOR OF DEPARTMENT AND
HUMAN RESOURCES.
I WANT TO ALERT PEOPLE THAT
THINGS ARE GOING TO START
BUILDING IN TERMS OF NOT JUST
ONLY ENTHUSIASM TOWARDS THE
BUDGET, BUT THE EXCITEMENT WE
ALWAYS GET AROUND THE FINANCE
COMMITTEE.
BUT ON THAT DAY ON JUNE 26, I
HAVE INVITED THE FOLKS FROM OUR
SEATTLE EMPLOYEES EMPLOYMENT
CENTER TO COME AND TALK TO US.
MANY OF YOU KNOW SENATE BILL
5240 HAD BEEN INTRODUCED BY
SENATOR REUBEN CARLISLE, WHICH
WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE CITY OF
SEATTLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE
ITS INVESTMENT, ROLL IT INTO
THE STATE'S INVESTMENT THROUGH
THE ADVISORY BOARD.
I HAD ASKED FOR AN INDEPENDENT
ANALYSIS TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT,
WHAT THE OPTIONS WOULD BE,
WHETHER THAT WOULD BE IN THE
CITY'S EMPLOYEES OR THE
RETIREES BEST INTEREST.
AND I KNOW FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR THE LAST
DECADE, THERE WERE SOME
SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS LAST
DECADE WITH SOME INVESTMENTS
AND THE EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT
SYSTEM HAD REALLY, WAS REALLY
COMPROMISED IN SOME KEY AREAS.
SINCE THEN WE'VE DONE A LOT OF
WORK AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND JEFF
DAVIS HIMSELF AND JASON
MALINOWSKI, BRINGING A TEAM ON
BOARD THAT HAS MADE CRITICAL
IMPROVEMENTS.
THOSE OF US INVESTED IN IT.
I HAD ASKED FOR AN INDEPENDENT
ANALYSIS TO COME BACK AND SAY
HOW ARE WE DOING.
AND THE ANALYSIS WAS OFFERED
TWO WEEKS AGO.
I'VE ASKED JASON AND JEFF DAVIS
TO COME BACK TO MY COMMITTEE ON
JUNE 26 AND TALK ABOUT THE
SYSTEM ITSELF, THE FINANCIAL
HEALTH, AND REALLY THE DECISION
ON WHY THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE
JOINING IN ON THE STATE.
IF THAT IS OF INTEREST TO YOU
OR ANYBODY LISTENING TO MY
COMMITTEE.
AND THAT IS IT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER PACHECO?
>> GOOD MORNING.
THERE ARE NINE ITEMS ON THE
FULL COUNCIL AGENDA TODAY, SIX
APPOINTMENTS TO THE SEATTLE
DESIGN COMMISSION.
IT ADOPTS THE BALLARD
NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN GUIDELINES,
COUNCIL MEMBER BILL, WHICH
ADOPTS THE CAPITOL HILL DESIGN
GUIDELINE AND COUNCIL BILL
119489, WHICH ALLOWS FOR MAJOR
INSTITUTIONS IN THE SMALLER
AREA OF THE INDUSTRIAL ZONES
NEAR SPU.
THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING IS
úON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19.
AND I WANT TO SAY
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE
GRADUATES THAT WILL BE IN
DISTRICT FOUR THIS WEEK.
ALL THE GRADUATIONS AND RECENT
GRADUATES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
WASHINGTON.
I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE
VOLUNTEERS FROM THIS WEEKEND'S
SEATTLE WORKS DAY, WHO
VOLUNTEER ON SATURDAY
THROUGHOUT OUR COMMITTEE AND
THIS LUNCHTIME I WILL BE WITH
UNITED WAYS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM,
DOING THE FACEBOOK LIVE EVENT
TO GET MORE PEOPLE ENGAGED IN
OUR COMMUNITY.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER
PACHECO.
THANK YOU FOR THAT
REPRESENTATION.
COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD?
>> GOOD MORNING.
FULL COUNCIL ITEMS FROM THE
CIVIL RIGHTS UTILITIES AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
ON THE AGENDA TODAY INCLUDE AN
APPOINTMENT OF BOBBY LEE AS THE
DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
WE'VE HAD TWO COMMITTEE
MEETINGS WHERE WE'VE HEARD THIS
APPOINTMENT, SHARED QUESTIONS
DEVELOPED BY THE COUNCIL AS
WELL AS MR. LEE'S ANSWERS.
IN ADDITION LAST WEEK COUNCIL
MEMBER RECEIVED A LETTER FOR
APPOINTMENT LEE, WHO WE WILL
CONFIRM TODAY.
IN ADDITION WE WILL HAVE A BILL
COMING OUT OF LAST WEEK'S
COMMITTEE, WELL ACTUALLY THE
PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE HELD
LAST WEEK.
THIS BILL WOULD AMEND ORDINANCE
125650 TO EXTEND THE EFFECTIVE
DATE OF THE ORDINANCE BY SIX
MONTHS.
THIS IS THE COUNCIL BILL THAT
ESTABLISHED AN INTERIM
EXPANSION OF THE PIKE PLACE
MARKET HISTORIC DISTRICT PAST
LAST YEAR.
THE LEGISLATION WILL ALLOW THE
DEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS
ADDITIONAL TIME TO COMPLETE THE
WORK THAT THE COUNCIL ASKED IT
TO DO LAST YEAR IN ORDINANCE
125650.
THE CENTRAL STAFF MEMO
ACCOMPANYING THIS LEGISLATION
NOTES DEPARTMENT OF
NEIGHBORHOODS EXPECTS THEIR
CONSULTANT WILL COMPLETE MUCH
OF THE WORK NECESSARY TO
DEVELOP A PRELIMINARY
RECOMMENDATION BY THE END OF
THIS MONTH.
WE HAD A NUMBER OF FOLKS COME
OUT TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
THE LEGISLATION AT THE PUBLIC
HEARING LAST TUESDAY.
AND FOLKS COMING OUT TO SUPPORT
THE LEGISLATION HIGHLIGHTED THE
BASIS FOR KEEPING THE PROPERTY
WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES ON THE
TEMPORARY BASIS CONSISTENT WITH
THE COUNCIL'S DECISION TO DO SO
LAST YEAR AND POINTED TO A
NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT MAKE
THESE DELIBERATIONS ALIGN WITH
THE INTENT OF HISTORIC
DISTRICTS NAMELY THAT THE
MARKET WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1909.
THE SHOW BOX BUILDING ITSELF
OPENED IN 1919.
TODAY EVEN MANY VISITORS WILL
GO TO BOTH PLACES.
WHEN THE SHOW BOX OPENED, IT
OPENED AS A PUBLIC MARKET.
AND THERE IS BOTH SYNERGY OF
COMMERCE IN THAT PEOPLE GO TO
BOTH PLACES, BUT ALSO A
PHYSICAL SYNERGY BETWEEN THE
BUILDINGS AND THE MARKET
ITSELF.
OTHER ITEMS COMING UP THIS WEEK
FOR ME, I HAVE A COMMITTEE
MEETING ON TUESDAY.
ON THE AGENDA FOR TOMORROW'S
COMMITTEE PETEING INCLUDES A
GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC
ANALYSIS OF HATE CRIMES IN
SEATTLE PRESENTED BY DR. TIM
THOMAS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF
WASHINGTON.
THIS IS WORK THAT WAS
COMMISSIONED AS PART OF THE
CITY AUDITOR'S WORK THAT I
REQUESTED THE CITY AUDITOR TO
DO TO LOOK AT HATE CRIMES
IMPACTS IN THE CITY.
SO WE'VE HEARD SORT OF THE
REPORT ON THE ENFORCEMENT SIDE
OF THINGS, HOW CASES ARE BEING
HANDLED BY SPD AND BY THE
COURTS.
THIS IS BASICALLY
A HIGH HYPOTHESIS TREND THAT
COULD BE IDENTIFIED BY MAPPING
THE LOCATIONS OF HATE CRIMES IN
SEATTLE.
IN ADDITION ON THE COMMITTEE
AGENDA FOR TOMORROW, WE HAVE A
BRIEFING ITEM FOR SPU AND THE
SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF
INSPECTIONS TO DISCUSS THEIR
EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT NEW SOLID
WASTE STORAGE AND ACCESS
REQUIREMENTS IN NEW
CONSTRUCTION.
THIS IS AN ITEM THAT I HAVE
BROUGHT UP WITH BOTH SPU AND
SDCI.
WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT DURING
OUR MMA DISCUSSIONS AND WERE
INTERESTED IN POTENTIALLY
MAKING THOSE CHANGES DURING
THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER TO
HANDLE THEM DIFFERENTLY, U BUT
THAT WE KNOW PEOPLE DO A BETTER
JOB IN FAMILY RECYCLING.
IF THE RECYCLING GARBAGE AND
THE COMPOST FACILITY ARE ALL CO-
LOCATED ON THE SAME FLOOR.
SO THIS WOULD BE CHANGES TO THE
BUILDING CODE TO REQUIRE NEW
CONSTRUCTION TO HAVE ACCESS TO
EACH OF THE THREE TYPES OF
WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITIES ON
EACH OF THE FLOORS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM
THEM ON THEIR PROGRESS ON
DRAFTING LEGISLATION AND
ENGAGING WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN
THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY ABOUT
THE NEED FOR THIS.
THEN FINALLY WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE ANOTHER BRIEFING FROM THE
ARTS OFFICE ON OUR FANTASTIC
CREATIVE ADVANTAGE PROGRAM AND
THEIR GOOD AMAZING PROGRESS IN
GETTING CREATIVE ADVANTAGE IN
ALL THE SCHOOLS IN THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
THEY MADE GREAT PROGRESS.
AS FAR AS MAJOR EVENTS COMING
UP THIS WEEK ON THURSDAY, WE
WILL BE HAVING A BUNCH OF
SECOND GRADERS.
COMING TO DO A TOUR OF CITY
HALL, VISITING ME IN MY
OFFICES.
AND ALSO THURSDAY I WILL BE
GETTING THE EXCELLENT IN
ADVOCACY AWARD AT THE SEATTLE
HUMAN SERVICES COALITION 27th
ANNUAL SERVICE AWARD AND IN
ADDITION IN THE MORNING ALSO ON
THURSDAY I WILL BE ATTENDING
THE SHAPE OF TRUST, WHICH IS AN
EFFORT OF THE CITY WORKING WITH
THE PLAY RIGHT SARAH WHO HAS
WRITTEN AN ORIGINAL SCRIPT,
USING OUR CITY EMPLOYEES
ACOUNTS OF RACIAL HARASSMENT,
DISCRIMINAL FACING, OTHER
EXPERIENCES IN THE WORKPLACE
THAT ARE EVIDENCE OF THE
PROGRESS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE
AS EMPLOYERS.
THESE STORIES WERE COLLECTED
THROUGH THE CITY'S SURVEYS.
AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE
THIS PRODUCTION.
IF YOU RECALL COUNCIL PRESIDENT
HARRELL, ONE OF OUR RETREATS
THAT WE HAD AS A COUNCIL WAS
THE ONE MAN PLAY.
AND THE POWER OF THAT EVENT WAS
A SPRING BOARD ON MANY ON
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE
COULD USE OUR EXPRESSION OF
FOLKS IN THE WORKPLACE.
AND THEN LASTLY ON SATURDAY I
WILL BE ATTENDING A FUNDRAISER.
AND THE WEST SEATTLE HELPLINE.
THIS IS A FUNDRAISER THAT IS
HELD, SPONSORED BY THE CRUISE
INDUSTRY CHARITABLE FOUNDATION.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER BAGSHAW?
>> QUICK QUESTION ON A RELATED
SUBJECT, ONE YOU DIDN'T BRING
UP.
AT THAT INTERSECTION, WESTERN
VIRGINIA, I'VE HEARD FOR MUCH
OF A DECADE ABOUT THE CONCERNS
PEOPLE HAVE TRYING TO DRIVE
THROUGH THERE AND WAIT FOR
PEDESTRIANS AND SDOT HAS SAID
FOR YEARS THERE IS NOTHING THAT
THEY WOULD WANT TO DO BECAUSE
IT IS A SAFE INTERSECTION.
BUT THE BACKUP GETS TO BE
PRETTY HORRIFIC.
BUSTER SIMPSON CAME UP WITH AN
IDEA AND WE PITCHED IT TO THEM.
IN OTHER PLACES DRESSED UP AS A
BOBBY OR IN SOME CASES DRESSED
UP AS A MIME, BUT GIVES THEM
PRIORITY AND STOPS THE
PEDESTRIANS AND LETS THE CAR GO
THROUGH.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOMEBODY WHO
IS INTERESTED IN PUTTING
FORWARD MONEY FOR THE SUMMER TO
GIVE IT A TRY.
I'M WONDERING IF YOU WOULD BE
INTERESTED IN GIVING IT A SHOT
TO MAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD VERY
HAPPY.
>> PRETTY CREATIVE.
>> THANK YOU.
COOKER.
NOTHING ON THE GENDER EQUITY
SAFE COMMITTEE.
WE ARE, HOWEVER, SCHEDULED FOR
A REGULAR MEETING THIS
WEDNESDAY.
WE WILL HAVE ONLY TWO ITEMS ON
THAT MORNING'S COMMITTEE
AGENDA.
THE FIRST ONE WILL BE A BILL TO
CONSIDER ALLOWING THE MAYOR TO
ENTER INTO AN INTERLOCAL
AGREEMENT WITH KING COUNTY FOR
PURPOSES OF ALLOWING A COUNTY
WIDE LEVY TO BE PUT UP FOR
RENEWAL, WHICH WILL AUTHORIZE
THEM TO ENTER INTO THAT LOCAL
AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THEM TO
PLACE ON THE BALLOT ON 2015,
THIS INITIATIVE.
IF APPROVED, A NEW LEVY WOULD
PROVIDE $640 MILLION DURING A
SIX-YEAR PERIOD.
FOR MEDICAL SERVICES.
IT'S EXPIRING SOON AND IT WILL
BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO SUBMIT
THAT PROPOSAL FOR VOTERS TO
CONSIDER RENEWAL OF THESE
CRITICAL SERVICES.
THE SECOND ITEM WILL BE A
PRESENTATION FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND
EARLY LEARNING WHO WILL BE
GIVING US A PRESENTATION ON
THEIR WORK, SO WE WILL HAVE
THEIR CHANGE TEAM AT THE TABLE
PROVIDING US WITH AN UPDATE ON
THEIR WORK IN A DEAL.
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
SOME NOTABLE EVENTS THAT I'LL
BE DOING THIS WEEK ON THURSDAY,
JUNE 13 AT 5:30 P.M.
I'LL BE JOINING COUNCIL MEMBER
HERBOLD AND OTHERS FOR THEIR
27th ANNUAL AWARD AND I'LL HAVE
THE HONOR OF PRESENTING THE
2018 OUTSTANDING ORGANIZATION
AWARD, SUPER EXCITED ABOUT
THAT.
ON FRIDAY, JUNE 14 AT 10:00
A.M.
I'LL BE JOINED BY FIFTH GRADE
STUDENTS FROM MAPLE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL.
IT'S LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER
HERBOLD AND I HAVE THE SAME
FLAVOR OF CALENDAR THIS WEEK.
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK
TO THEM ABOUT THE WORK CITY
COUNCIL DOES AND MAKING SURE
THEY HAVE THAT CIVICS 101
COMPONENT AS SOME OF OUR
YOUNGER CONSTITUENTS IN THE
CITY.
THEN LATER THAT AFTERNOON ON
JUNE 14, MY OFFICE AND I WILL
BE GOING UP TO DISTRICT FOUR
FOR A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION,
DEDICATED TO ENRICHING THE
LIVES OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS
THROUGH OUTDOOR RECREATION AND
REAL EXCITED THAT MY TEAM AND I
WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
CYCLE AROUND THE DISTRICT ON
ADAPTIVE BICYCLES, WHICH I HAVE
NEVER RIDDEN, BUT LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT.
STAY TUNED.
WE'LL BE POSTING LOTS OF PHOTOS
AND VIDEO, I'M SURE OF IT.
I WILL BE JOINING THE
GRADUATING CLASS FOR BELLTOWN
TO GRACING THEM ON THE
CULMINATION OF THEIR FELLOWSHIP
AND THE GRADUATION OF THEIR
CLASS.
AND CODY RYDER IS MAKING IT A
TOTAL OF THREE OF MY
LEGISLATIVE AIDES WHO WOULD
HAVE GRADUATED FROM THAT
PROGRAM.
THE OTHER TWO BEING BRIANNA
THOMAS.
AND SUPER EXCITED ABOUT BEING
THERE FOR THAT MOMENTOUS
OCCASION.
JUNE 16 AT 1:00 P.M., I'LL BE
JOINING NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE
STREET ORGANIZATIONS FROM ALL
AROUND SEATTLE RIGHT HERE AT
CITY HALL FOR A RALLY FOR SAFE
STREETS.
I'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PROVIDE SOME OF THE MARKS FOR
THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE GATHERING
HERE TO TAKE A RIDE DOWN FOURTH
AVENUE TO WEST LAKE PARK.
IT'S A FAMILY-FRIENDLY EVENT.
STARTS AT 1:00 P.M.
HERE ON THE PLAZA.
AND SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN
ADVOCATING FOR SAFE STREETS
ACROSS OUR CITY, JOIN US ON
SUNDAY, JUNE 16 AT 1:00 P.M.
HERE AT THE CITY PLAZA AT CITY
HALL.
AGAIN IT'S A FAMILY-FRIENDLY
EVENT.
SO IF YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR
KIDS AND BIKES, PLEASE FEEL
FREE TO DO SO.
>> EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER
GONZALEZ.
COUNCIL MEMBER O'BRIEN?
I DID MENTION THE HEARING ON
TUESDAY OF YOUR COMMITTEE IN
YOUR ABSENCE.
>> ARE YOU ASKING ME NOT TO
REPEAT THAT?
IT IS AN APPOINTMENT TO THE
ADVISORY BOARD.
AND THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING
THAT.
THE ONLY COMMITTEE MEETING THIS
WEEK IS THE PUBLIC HEARING
TOMORROW EVENING.
REAL QUICK FOR THOSE WHO ARE
TRACKING THIS OUT THERE,
MEETING WILL START AT 5:30.
WE'LL GIVE YOU A BRIEF
PRESENTATION AND IT WILL TAKE
TEN MINUTES.
JUST THE TYPES OF CHANGES BEING
IMPOSED AND THE LEGISLATION
THAT I'M PUTTING FORWARD AND
THEN I BELIEVE THEY WILL WALK
THROUGH A COUPLE OF AREAS WHERE
THEY MIGHT HIGHLIGHT THOSE FOR
THE AUDIENCE AND THEN WE WILL
MAINLY JUMP INTO THE PUBLIC
HEARING.
FOLKS WILL HAVE UP TO TWO
MINUTES EACH TO TALK.
WE WILL BE HERE AS LONG AS IT
TAKES TO GET THROUGH
EVERYTHING.
AS I SAID THREE OR MORE PEOPLE
WANT TO COME TO THE MICROPHONE
TOGETHER AND COMBINE THEIR TIME
FOR EITHER ONE PERSON TO SPEAK
FOR FIVE MINUTES WILL BE FINE
TOO.
JUST WANT TO BE SURE WHEN YOU
COME UP TO BE A PART OF THE
GROUP.
YOU DON'T GET TO CIRCLE BACK
WITH MULTIPLE GROUPS AND GET TO
YOUR OWN TWO MINUTES.
BUT ANY WAY WE EXPECT TO HAVE A
PRETTY DECENT CROWD AND WILL BE
HERE FOR A COUPLE OF NIGHTS.
THAT'S ALL FOR ME.
>> THANK YOU.
>> OKAY.
SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO
EXECUTIVE SESSION.
IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING GOOD FOR
THE ORDER, WE ARE GOING TO AS
PRESIDING OFFICER, ANNOUNCING
WE WILL CONVENE INTO EXECUTIVE
SESSION.
WE HAVE TWO SUBJECT MATTERS AS
I EXPLAINED EARLIER.
THE PURPOSE OF THE EXECUTIVE
SESSION IS TO DISCUSS PENDING
POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL LITIGATION.
GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
THE FULL COUNCIL TO DISCUSS
CONFIDENTIAL LEGAL MATTERS WITH
OUR CITY ATTORNEYS AS
AUTHORIZED.
ALWAYS PRESENT TO MAKE SURE WE
RESERVE QUESTIONS FOR POLICY
FOR OPEN PUBLIC SESSIONS.
WE EXPECT THIS SESSION TO LAST
FOR ONE HOUR, SO WE WILL SAY A
LITTLE OVER ONE HOUR.
WE WILL SAY UNTIL 11:00 A.M.
AND THEN IF IT GOES BEYOND THAT
PERIOD, I'LL ANNOUNCE ITS
EXTENSION AND OPEN SESSION AND
WE WILL EXTEND IT.
LET'S MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE
SESSION.
