>>> GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE FOR
OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED COUNCIL
BRIEFING.
WE HAVE A FEW EXCUSED ABSENCES
GIVEN THE HOLIDAYS LAST WEEK,
SO THE FOUR OF US ARE PLOWING
THROUGH IT.
I DID WANT TO SAY, THERE IS
NOTHING THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE
GOVERNANCE, EQUITY AND
TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE ON THEIR
FULL COUNCIL TODAY.
HOWEVER, I WANT TO DESCRIBE
NEXT WEEK, WE HAVE A SPECIAL
MEETING FROM CIVIC ARENAS.
THAT WILL OCCUR ON 10-30 AT
10:30.
THESE WERE ALL MENTIONED THAT
THE LAST CIVIC ARENAS MEETING.
THE FIRST ISSUE WILL BE A SIGN
OVERLAY DISTRICT AND SIGNED
REGULATIONS.
WE ARE TRYING TO IMPROVE THE
WAYFINDING.
THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVITY
THERE.
WE WANT TO IMPROVE OUR
WAYFINDING EFFORTS THERE, SO
THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
THE SECOND ISSUE WILL BE TO
AMEND THE FACILITY USE
AGREEMENTS WITH THE STORM.
THERE IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL
NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE STORM
AND THE DEVELOPERS, AND SO THAT
AGREEMENT WILL BE RATIFIED
HOPEFULLY THROUGH LEGISLATION,
AND THE THIRD ISSUE IS RELATIVE
TO THE PUBLIC SKATE PLAZA.
BASICALLY, JUST A TECHNICAL
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY FROM ONE
DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER.
FROM THIS CASE, SDOT TO THE
SEATTLE CENTER.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT.
COUNCILMEMBER BAGHSAW?
>> A SMALL BUT MIGHTY GROUP.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
NO ITEMS FROM THE FINANCE AND
MONIES COMMITTEE.
THIS IS JULY 10.
THOSE OF YOU WHO'VE BEEN PAYING
ATTENTION TO MIKE O'BRIEN'S WORK
IN THE SWEETENED BEVERAGE TAX
ORDINANCE, THAT'S GOING TO BE
IN MY COMMITTEE THIS WEDNESDAY
AT 2:00 FOR A POSSIBLE VOTE.
WE ALSO WILL BE REVIEWING THE
ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE 2019-
2022 CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR
HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT.
THIS IS ACCEPTING GRANT FUNDING
FROM HUD.
WE WILL HAVE A PRESENTATION.
I DON'T EXPECT THERE TO BE
ANYTHING UNUSUAL.
ALSO, THERE IS GOING TO BE A
SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO WHAT WE
ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR FIRST
BRIEFING ON FIVE BUDGET
ORDINANCES FOR THE SECOND
QUARTER ON JULY 24.
THAT'S TWO WEEKS FROM THIS
WEDNESDAY, BUT IT INCLUDES OUR
2018 EXCEPTIONS ORDINANCE, THE
2019 CARRYFORWARD, THE 2019
SECOND QUARTER SUPPLEMENTAL,
THE 2019 SECOND QUARTER GRANTS
ACCEPTANCE AND THE 2019 CAPITAL
ABANDONMENT.
I KNOW ALL OF THAT SOUNDS
EXCITING, BUT WE ARE GOING TO
BE DOING THAT ON JULY 24, TWO
WEEKS FROM THIS WEDNESDAY.
ALSO, WE ARE GOING TO BE VOTING
ON THESE ITEMS ON AUGUST 9.
THAT'S AT A SPECIAL
NEIGHBORHOODS AND FINANCE
COMMITTEE.
ALLISON IN MY OFFICE IS LEADING
THE CHARGE ON THAT.
LAST WEEK, I MENTIONED WITH
BOBBY HUMES, WE INTEND TO BE
VOTING ON HIS FINAL APPOINTMENT
FOR THE DIRECTOR OF HDA ARE,
HUMAN RESOURCES.
WE WILL HAVE THAT EXPECTATIONS
LETTER.
IT'S BEEN CIRCULATED TO YOU.
WE WILL AND ANY EXPECTATIONS
INTO THE LETTER THIS WEEK.
I HAVE ALSO BEEN ASKED TO
REMIND YOU THAT ONE OF THE
THINGS MY OFFICE HAS BEEN
LEADING IS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING
PUBLIC REALMS STUDIES DOWN IN
YES, SIR CRESCENT.
WE DID ONE DATA-GATHERING A
COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME SDOT HAS
DONE THAT AND WE WILL DO IT A
SECOND TIME THIS WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ATTEND FOR A
LONG TIME, BUT HOPEFULLY THE
WEATHER WILL IMPROVE.
WE IDENTIFY HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
COMING BY, WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET THOSE
NUMBERS.
IT'S THIS WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.
I AM INTENDING TO SPEND AN HOUR
BOTH DAYS DOING THAT.
IF THERE IS ANYONE ON THE
LEGISLATIVE FLOOR THAT WANTS TO
JOIN US, BRIAN HSU IS LOOKING
FOR VOLUNTEERS.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
LASTLY, THIS FRIDAY, WE ARE
WORKING WITH VARIOUS
CONSTITUENTS FROM BELLTOWN,
SOUTH LAKE UNION TO DO A DESIGN
SHOW FOR THOMAS STREET, AND
MIKE O'BRIEN'S OFFICE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE MIKE IS
AWARE WE ARE MOVING FORWARD
WITH THIS.
WE HAVE HIRED THREE DIFFERENT
DESIGN FIRMS TO HELP US WITH
NOTES ALONG THE WAY.
BOTH EAST AND WEST OF SEATTLE
CENTER TO HELP PEOPLE MOVE
PEDESTRIAN BIKES, CARS, FREIGHT,
TO GET TO THE SEATTLE CENTER.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN
JOINING, LET ME KNOW.
>> CBS PICKED UP ON THIS.
I WANT TO SAY I'M JOINED BY
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ,
COUNCILMEMBER BAGSHAW AND IF
THERE IS NO OBJECTION TO THE
MINUTES OF THE JULY 1, 2019
MEETING, IT WILL BE APPROVED.
HEARING NO OBJECTION, THE
MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
>> VERY GOOD.
>> WE KNOW THAT WE WANTED TO
CONGRATULATE THE U.S. WOMEN'S
TEAM FOR THE WORLD CUP VICTORY.
YOU ALSO SKIPPED OVER THAT.
>> I DID, BUT THAT WAS
PHENOMENAL.
>> GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.

TO ACCOMMODATE SCHEDULES BEFORE

ON JULY 9, A LUNCH AND LEARN

HIV/A.I.D.S.

COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND MEMBERS

I AM ALSO GOING TO BE READING

PACHECO, AS WELL.
THERE ARE NO OTHER ITEMS ON
INTRODUCTION AND REFERRAL OR ON
THE CALENDAR.
THERE ARE NO PLEDGE RELATED
ITEMS ON THE FULL COUNCIL
AGENDA TODAY.

COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN.
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE DON'T REWARDS --
>> [ LAUGHTER ]
>> I AM HAPPY TO GO BEFORE
COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN.
I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE.
THE GENDER EQUITY AND SAFE
AMERICA'S EDUCATION COMMITTEE
IS SCHEDULED TO MEET AT ITS
REGULAR TIME JULY 10 AT 9:30
HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
WE WILL HAVE THREE ITEMS ON THE
AGENDA.
THE FIRST IS CONSIDERATION OF
AN APPOINTMENT TO THE FAMILIES,
EDUCATION, PRESCHOOL AND
PROMISE LEVY OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE.
THE SECOND IS A PRESENTATION
FROM THE SEATTLE OFFICE OF
IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE AFFAIRS
ON CHALLENGES TO CITIZENSHIP.
THIS PRESENTATION WILL FOCUS
PARTICULARLY ON INCREASING
DIFFICULTIES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
QUALIFIED TO BECOME U.S.
CITIZENS TO DO SO AS A RESULT OF
SOME PRETTY INTENTIONAL
UNDERMINING BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IN TERMS OF BACKLOGS
AND FEES, AND OTHER BARRIERS
ASSOCIATED WITH JUST FILING A
CITIZENSHIP APPLICATION.
THE CITY OF SEATTLE INVESTS A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY IN
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WORKSHOPS,
INCLUDING PRO BONO LEGAL
ASSISTANCE TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS
SEEKING TO BECOME U.S.
CITIZENS, SO IT WILL BE
PARTICULARLY RELEVANT IN
IDENTIFYING HOW THERE MAY BE
SOME ADMINISTRATIVE,
BUREAUCRATIC BARRIERS TO THE
COMPLETE AND FULL SUCCESS OF
THE PROGRAM.
LASTLY, WE WILL HEAR AN UPDATE
ON THE EMPHASIS PATROLS PROGRAM
FROM VARIOUS CITY DEPARTMENTS
INCLUDING THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.
ALSO, JUST WANTED TO MAKE A
QUICK NOTE THAT ON WEDNESDAY,
WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE SOME
GUESTS IN CHAMBER WITH US.
WE ARE EXPECTING A VISIT FROM
10 JOURNALISTS, EDITORS, CONTACT
CREATORS THROUGH THE WORLD
AFFAIRS COUNCIL NIGHT.
THEY WILL BE JOINING US IN THE
AUDIENCE OBSERVING TO SEE HOW
MEDIA CAN BE USED AS A DUTY TO
DRIVE CIVIC ACTIVISM AS WELL AS
DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF
SOCIAL ISSUES FROM A VARIETY OF
PERSPECTIVES.
THEY ARE CURIOUS ABOUT HOW IT
WORKS IN THE U.S., AND THEY ARE
EXCITED TO SIT IN ON MY
COMMITTEE HEARING TO LEARN A
LITTLE BIT MORE.
I THINK WE ARE GIVING THEM A
LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING ON
WEDNESDAY.
REALLY HOPING THEY ENJOY THE
COMMITTEE MEETING.
FOR ANY OF YOU WHO WANT TO COME
SAY HI AFTER COMMITTEE, YOU'RE
WELCOME TO DO SO.
THERE WILL BE TRANSLATORS TO DO
THAT.
I WANT TO CONCLUDE BY
ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WE ALL SAW
THAT THERE WAS TWO MASSIVE
EARTHQUAKES IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.
LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO
SIGNIFICANT INJURIES OR DEATHS.
I WANTED TO TAKE THE QUICK
OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND FOLKS
THAT THE CITY OF SEATTLE IS, OF
COURSE, AT RISK OF EXPERIENCING
EARTHQUAKES.
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS THAT COULD
FACE OUR CITY, AND WE JUST
WANTED TO REASSURE FOLKS, AND
REMIND FOLKS, THAT THERE ARE
WAYS TO PREPARE YOURSELF IN THE
EVENT THAT THOSE EMERGENCIES TO
HAPPEN.
IF YOU GO TO OUR SEATTLE OFFICE
OF CITY MANAGEMENT AT
WWW.SEATTLE.GOP/EMERGENCY E-
MANAGEMENT, YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK
AT ALL THE DIFFERENT TOOLS
AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLE DIFFERENT
LANGUAGES.
AND FOR FOLKS WITH LOW VISION,
BLIND, OR DEAF AND HARD OF
HEARING NEEDS, YOU CAN LOOK AT
A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TOOLS
THAT YOU CAN USE TO GET
PREPARED.
OUR OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDS THAT YOU
PLAN TO BE ON YOUR OWN FOR AT
LEAST 7 TO 10 DAYS.
THERE IS A HANDY INFO GRAPHIC
ONLINE THAT AGAIN REMINDS YOU
WHAT KIND OF ITEMS YOU SHOULD
BE PULLING TOGETHER FOR A TOTAL
OF 7 TO 10 DAYS IN THE EVENT
THAT AN EARTHQUAKE OR OTHER
CATASTROPHIC GEOLOGICAL EVENT
OCCURS.
THERE'S ALSO A QUICK, HANDY FORM
THAT ALLOWS YOU TO GATHER ALL
OF YOUR EMERGENCY INFORMATION
IN ONE PLACE.
OF COURSE, WE ARE LED IN THIS
WORK BY DIRECTOR BARB GRAPHS
OUT OF THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT.
IF SHE WAS HERE, SHE WOULD
REMIND US THERE ARE AN INFINITE
NUMBER OF PLANS OR WHAT SEEMS
LIKE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF
PLANTS SEATTLE WORKS ON UNDER
HER LEADERSHIP TO PLAN FOR
THESE TYPES OF INCIDENTS.
THOSE PLANS ARE PUBLICLY
AVAILABLE AND CONSIDERED AND
APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON
A REGULAR BASIS IN ORDER TO
MAKE SURE THOSE PLANS ARE
FRESH, AND THAT INCLUDES AT THE
FEDERAL, STATE, REGIONAL,
COUNTY AND LOCAL LEVEL.
I WANTED TO REMIND FOLKS WE
HAVE MADE SOME INVESTMENTS IN
NOT JUST TOOLKITS TO PREPARE
INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE AND THEIR
FAMILIES ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR
EMERGENCIES LIKE THE ONE WE
JUST SAW IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA, BUT ALSO WE MAKE
INVESTMENTS AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
AND COMMUNITY-BASED LEVEL.
SO, THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS,
FOR EXAMPLE CALLED S.N.A.P.
SEATTLE NEIGHBORHOODS ACTIVELY
PREPARE, WHICH REGULARLY MEETS
AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL TO
HELP NEIGHBORHOODS GET
ORGANIZED AROUND HOW TO RESPOND
IN THE EVENT OF A CATASTROPHIC
EVENT.
THAT'S ONE ORGANIZATION.
THE SECOND IS THE COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATION HUBS.
WE'VE MADE THOSE OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS.
COMMUNITY EMERGENCY HUBS ARE PUT
PLACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN GATHER
TO HELP EACH OTHER.
THEY REALLY FOCUSED ON USING
PATCHES IN NEIGHBORHOODS FOR
GATHERING PLACES THAT ARE
CENTRALIZED WITHIN
NEIGHBORHOODS AND THERE ARE
CURRENTLY 135 OF THOSE
COMMUNITY HUBS DESIGNATED
THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
THERE IS A SUPER HANDY WIDGET
ONLINE AT THE SEATTLE OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WEBSITE,
WHICH HELPS YOU IDENTIFY WHERE
THE HUB IS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
AND IF THERE ISN'T A HUB IN
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU CAN ASK
TO DESIGNATE ONE IN YOUR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE FOLKS
HAVE THAT INFORMATION HERE AT
THE TABLE AND FOR THE VIEWING
PUBLIC, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO
MAKING SURE IN OUR NEXT
NEWSLETTER WE SHARE SOME OF
THESE RESOURCES.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT
INFORMATION.
WE ARE WISHING PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA WELL.
COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN?
>> THANK YOU.
I ALSO APPRECIATE THE
HIGHLIGHTING OF THOSE HUBS.
IT'S AMAZING TO HAVE SO MANY
COMMUNITY MEMBERS COME FORWARD
ON THEIR OWN TO SET UP THE
STRUCTURE AND HELP THEIR
NEIGHBORS.
I AM GOING TO TRY TO GET THE
WORD WIDGET INTO MY
PRESENTATION.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
THE SUSTAINABILITY AND
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE HAS, I
BELIEVE ALL FOUR ITEMS ON THIS
AFTERNOON'S AGENDA.
WE ARE GOING TO CONSIDER TWO
GRANT ACCEPTANCE ORDINANCES.
THE FIRST IS A GRANT FOR A FEW
THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR WORK IN
THE DELRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S CHARITABLE FUNDRAISING
THAT HAS BEEN DONE BY I BELIEVE
THE DOWAGER NEIGHBORHOOD DOWRY
ASSOCIATION AND THEY ARE GOING
TO PASS THOSE DOLLARS ON TO THE
CITY TO DO SOME WORK ON MODEST
STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
THE OTHER GRANT ACCEPTANCE
ORDINANCE IS RELATED TO PS
SORRY WORK SIMILAR TO SOMETHING
WE DID A FEW MONTHS AGO.
THIS IS FEDERAL FUNDING THAT
GETS PASSED THROUGH THE STATE
AND THEN PUGET SOUND REGIONAL
COUNCIL.
THE SPENDING CYCLE FOR THIS
ROUND OF GRANTS IS COMING TO AN
END THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
THROUGHOUT THE FOUR BACA COUNTY
REGION, WHAT OFTEN HAPPENS IS
TOWARD THE END OF THE CYCLE, IF
IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT A
PROJECT IS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE
TO GO FORWARD IN A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF TIME, IF WE DON'T
SPEND IT AS A REGION, THAT
MONEY REVERTS TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT, SO WE TRY NOT TO DO
THAT.
THERE ARE A COUPLE PROJECTS
BEING DELAYED, SO SEATTLE HAD A
PROJECT THAT WAS IN THE QUEUE
AND THAT WAS ABLE TO BE
ACCELERATED, SO A SHIFTED SOME
PROJECTS.
IT'S SEISMIC RETROFITTING OF
THE BRIDGE THAT GOES THROUGH
RAVANNA PARK, I BELIEVE.
AND, SO IT'S A GOOD
OPPORTUNITY.
WE ARE ALSO HELPING OUT THE
REGION BY MOVING A PROJECT UP
IN TIME SO WE DON'T LOSE THAT
MONEY AND THEN THE OTHER
PROJECTS WILL GET THEIR MONEY
IN THE FUTURE.
WE ALSO HAVE TWO APPOINTMENTS,
ONE FOR THE SWEETENED BEVERAGE
TAX, THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY
BOARD, AND ONE FOR THE URBAN
FORESTRY COMMISSION.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY MEETINGS THIS
WEEK.
WE WOULD NORMALLY HAVE OUR
MEETING NEXT WEEK, WHICH WOULD
BE THE THIRD TUESDAY OF THE
MONTH, BUT THAT MEETING HAS
BEEN COUNSELED CANCELED.
I WILL SPEAK MORE TO THAT IN A
COUPLE WEEKS.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER
O'BRIEN.
THAT WILL CONCLUDE --
COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN?
>> I'M GOING TO DO A SHOUT OUT
TO THE WOMEN'S WORLD CUP TEAM.
THEY ROCKED IT.
>> PAY COMMENSURATE WITH THAT
TALENT.
WE ARE ALSO WISHING THEM EQUAL
PAY.
>> THEY SHOULD GET SUPERIOR PAY
FOR ACTUALLY WINNING
TOURNAMENTS.
THAT WOULD BE OUTSTANDING.
>> FOUR STARS ON THAT JERSEY.
THE MEN'S HAS ZERO.
>> COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN, WE
HAD A VERY SHORT DISCUSSION
BEFORE YOU ARRIVED ABOUT
SWEETENED BEVERAGE TAXES AND
THE EDI BEING IN MY COMMITTEE
THIS WEDNESDAY, SO WE HAVE A
PROPOSAL THAT WILL MOVE FORWARD
WITH A VOTE, AND UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE
HERE THE FOLLOWING WEEK, SO FOR
A FINAL VOTE ON THOSE THINGS,
WE CAN PUT IT OFF FOR ANOTHER
WEEK.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT.
THAT COULD BE THE 22nd?
>> SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> OKAY, WE ARE GOOD TO GO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CALLINGS.
WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO
EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WE HAVE TWO EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
SCHEDULED.
AS PRESIDING OFFICER, I AM
ANNOUNCING COUNCIL WILL
OFFICIALLY CONVENE ON THE
PURPOSE OF OUR EXECUTIVE
SESSION TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL
PENDING OR ACTUAL LITIGATION.
THIS GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO
DISCUSS CONFIDENTIAL LEGAL
MATTERS WITH OUR LEGAL LAW
DEPARTMENT AS AUTHORIZED BY
LAW, BUT A LEGAL MONITOR FROM
THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS
OR WAS PRESENT TO MAKE SURE WE
RESERVE QUESTIONS OF POLICY FOR
OUR PUBLIC OPEN SESSIONS.
I EXPECT THIS SESSION TO LAST
FOR ONE HOUR.
60 MINUTES.
I WILL SAY AT 10:53 WILL END.
IF IT GOES BEYOND THAT
EXTENSION, I WILL ANNOUNCE ITS
EXTENSION AND THE EXPECTED
DURATION.
WITH THAT, LET'S MOVE INTO
EXECUTIVE SESSION.
