>> AND MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE FOR
REGULAR SCHEDULED BREATHING.
I AM JOINED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS
BAGSHAW, JUAREZ, WELCOME
CANCEL COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON.
HE BRINGS GIFTS WHEN HE COMES.
IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION, --
>> WE EXPECT THIS EVERY MONDAY.
>>THIS IS HOW WE ROLL HERE.
>>IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION THE
MINUTES OF THE NOVEMBER 25,
2019 MEETING WILL BE APPROVED.
NO OBJECTION IT IS APPROVED.
ITEM NUMBER THREE ON OUR AGENDA
WHICH IS THE STATE LEGISLATURE
UPDATE WILL BE CANCELED AND
RESCHEDULED FOR NEXT MONDAY.
WE ARE TOLD BY THE TEAM THAT
THERE IS A STILL FEW LANGUAGE
ISSUES BEING WORKED OUT ON THE
FINAL PRODUCT IS NOT QUITE
READY.
IT SHOULD BE READY IN THE
MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO
GAVE INPUT, IT IS A GREAT
DOCUMENT, I SAW THE SHORT
DRAFT, IT WAS NOT READY FOR A
BRIEFING TODAY SO WE WILL
DISPENSE WITH THAT ITEM ON
TODAY'S AGENDA.
>>LET'S GO AROUND THE TABLE AND
DO A PREVIEW OF COUNSEL
ACTIONS.
NOTHING UP FOR VOTE IN THE
TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE.
WE MEET TOMORROW MORNING AT
9:30.
I HAVE THREE AGENDA ITEMS.
THE FIRST ONE IS AN ORDINANCE
RELATING TO GIFTS AND DONATIONS
TO THE CITY.
IT IS A DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL
VOTE ON OUR ABILITY TO, THIS IS
COMING OUT OF THE LAW
DEPARTMENT, I WANT TO THANK
THEM.
OUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE AND LOOK
AT WHAT WAS ONCE CALLED THE
GIFT CATALOG, THAT HAS BEEN
AROUND SINCE THE 80s AND TO
REVISE THAT TO ALLOW LOOSER
RESTRICTIONS ON OUR ABILITY AND
THE DEPARTMENT'S ABILITY TO
ACCEPT GIFTS.
THAT WILL BE CALLED THE LAW
DONATION FUND COUNSEL BILL.
THE SECOND ITEM IS A RESOLUTION
ON THE TECHNOLOGY MATCHING
FUNDS.
WE HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS AND I WANT TO
THANK THE COUNCIL FOR ALL THE
WORK HELPING COMMUNITIES GET
TECHNOLOGY PARTICULARLY THE
UNDERREPRESENTED COMMITTEES,
GET TECHNOLOGY AND MATCHING
FUNDS.
WE ARE LOOKING AT PROCEDURES TO
SEE IF WE CAN EXPEDITE IT.
WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF
FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AND
THE DEPARTMENT FROM THE TIME WE
FUND IT AND THE TIME THAT IT
GETS TO THE COMMUNITIES IT
TAKES A MUCH LONGER TIME AND
THE DEPARTMENT HAS IDEAS ON HOW
TO ACCELERATE THAT PROCESS A
LITTLE BIT.
THE LAST ITEM IS THE SEATTLE
CITY LIGHT EASEMENT, THAT WILL
LOOK AT MODIFICATIONS IN THE
KING COUNTY BILL.
WE ARE DOING THAT BECAUSE OF
COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA ABSENCE
AND WE AGREED TO TAKE THAT ON
FOR THEM.
THOSE ARE THE THREE THINGS WE
WILL LOOK AT TOMORROW MORNING.
COUNCILMAN BAGSHAW YOU HAVE TO
FLOOR.
>> NOTHING FOR THE FINANCE AND
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMITTEE THIS
AFTERNOON.
I WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW WE
HAVE TWO FINAL FIND OUT FINANCE
COMMITTEES BETWEEN NOW AND TWO
WEEKS IN THREE DAYS.
IT WILL BE THE LAST TIME THAT I
WILL BE ON THESE COUNCILS WITH
YOU.
ON THIS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5 AT
9:30 A.M., WE HAVE A NUMBER OF
THINGS INCLUDING THE 4th
QUARTER SUPPLEMENTAL, WE ACCEPT
THE GRANTS AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL
ORDINANCE, I BELIEVE THAT IS
IMPORTANT THAT COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD YOU HAVE ANOTHER
COMMITMENT WITH THE REGIONAL
POLICY COMMITTEE THAT DAY OVER
IN KING COUNTY.
I APPRECIATE THAT, COUNCILMEMBER
GONZALEZ, ME AND ANYONE ELSE
WHO WANTS TO JOIN US.
WE HAVE APPOINTMENTS TO
HISTORIC SEATTLE FOR SEATTLE
CHINATOWN, TWO REAPPOINTMENTS
TO THE PIKE PLACE MARKET PDA
AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION
LANDMARK, HIGHLAND ORDINANCE
AND YOU PRONOUNCE IT, BLIGHT
FUNERAL HOME?
BLITZ.
I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS
PRONOUNCE.
WE ALSO HAVE A ORDINANCE
AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF FIVE
PROPERTIES IN WEST SEATTLE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
ENGAGED IN, COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD, WE HAVE THE SD HR
ORDINANCE THAT WILL AUTHORIZE
THE COST OF LIVING INCREASE AND
THE 4th QUARTER SUPPLEMENTAL
WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT.
I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND SAY
THANK YOU TO MY KING COUNTY
COUNCIL COLLEAGUES,
COUNCILMEMBER JEANNIE CALDWELL,
AND ROB, ALL OF THE STAFF AND
FOLKS IN THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE
AND ESPECIALLY IN THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE, TEST COLBY, A NUMBER OF
FOLKS.
WE HAD A TWO HOUR 40 MINUTE
CONVERSATION WEDNESDAY NIGHT
BEFORE THANKSGIVING ON THE
REGIONAL GOVERNMENT, WE ARE SO
CLOSE TO HAVING A DEAL STRUCK
THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.
I THINK I AM SCHEDULED TO TALK
WITH COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ
LATER TODAY, COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN
UPDATE ON WHERE THE AMENDMENTS
ARE GOING AT THIS POINT.
I KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN LONG
AND TEDIOUS FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
I REALLY WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THE KING COUNTY CENTRAL
STAFF ALONG WITH JEFF SIMS AND
TRACY RADCLIFFE HAVE DONE
TREMENDOUS WORK.
THIS IS A 60 PAGE DOCUMENT THAT
HAS BEEN REVISED AND BROUGHT
FORWARD.
ALL IS GOOD AND WE ARE MOVING
FORWARD WITH THAT.
I WILL HAVE A FULL BRIEFING
WITH OUR SPECIAL HOMELESSNESS
COMMITTEE SOMETIME NEXT WEEK.
THANK YOU.
>> I THOUGHT THAT AFTER THE
9:30 MEETING THURSDAY WE HAD A
SPECIAL MEETING THURSDAY.
AM I CORRECT?
>> WE HAVE THAT ON THE
CALENDAR.
IF THAT IS THE CASE, THAT IS
GOOD NEWS, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY
MY STAFF THAT THEY CONNECTED
WITH YOUR OFFICE AND I WAS THE
ONLY ONE THAT WAS GOING TO
ATTEND THAT MEETING WHICH
SEEMED SILLY TO HAVE JUST ME
THERE.
>> THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
HOMELESSNESS -- THAT I DO NOT
KNOW.
>> WE WILL DOUBLE CHECK THAT.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A LITTLE
UNREASONABLE TO ASK PEOPLE TO
COME BRIEF IF I WAS THE ONLY
ONE GOING TO BE HERE.
>>I SEE.
JUST TO BE CLEAR, WHAT I ASSUME
BEFORE THIS DISCUSSION WAS THE
KING COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETING
ON HOMELESSNESS ON THE REGIONAL
ISSUE WAS TO TAKE PLACE
THURSDAY MORNING AT 9:30 AND
LATER IN THAT AFTERNOON WE WERE
GOING TO ADOPT THE PLAN AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE AND I DID NOT KNOW
ABOUT THE LACK OF ATTENDANCE.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
>> IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT
WE ARE ABLE TO BE IN SYNC WITH
KING COUNTY ON THIS AND
OBVIOUSLY IF THERE ARE
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS WE NEED
TO ADDRESS THOSE AND BRING
AMENDMENTS FORWARD.
ESSENTIALLY WE ARE TRYING TO
ADOPT THE SAME DOCUMENTS, ONE
FROM THEIR SIDE AND ONE FROM
OUR SIDE.
LET'S DOUBLE CHECK THAT ON
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
WE DO HAVE TIME NEXT WEEK TO
HAVE A SPECIAL COMMITTEE
MEETING OR IT CAN GO TO THE
COUNCIL.
LET'S MAKE SURE WE PEOPLE THERE
TO HEAR IT.
>>COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ.
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER BAGSHAW AS IT
RELATES TO TIMING AND
HOMELESSNESS , I HAVE A HOLD ON
MY CALENDAR FOR THURSDAY 5
DECEMBER.
I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT
HOW WE GET TO A PLACE AS A
SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL TO AGREE
WITH WHAT EVER PRODUCT WE
ANTICIPATE COMING OUT OF THE
KING COUNTY COUNCIL WITH SUCH A
QUICK TURNAROUND.
WHILE I APPRECIATE THE INTENT
AND DESIRE TO TRY TO AVOID THE
DELAY, I ALSO DON'T WANT US TO
BE PUT IN A POSITION TO
UNNECESSARILY RUSH OUR DECISION-
MAKING PROCESS AND OUR REVIEW
OF WHATEVER IT IS KING COUNTY
COUNCIL IS REVIEWING.
I KNOW PERSONALLY I HAVE NOT
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT
THE PROPOSALS FROM KING COUNTY
COUNCIL HAVE EVOLVED.
IN THE WEEKS THAT WE HAVE BEEN
MARRED IN OUR OWN CITY BUDGET
PROCESS.
I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS THAT I
AM READY TO ROLL UP MY SLEEVES
AND DO THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO
BE DONE THIS WEEK TO BE READY
IN TIME FOR AN AFTERNOON
MEETING ON DECEMBER 5. IF THERE
IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SCHEDULE A
SELECT COMMITTEE ON THIS ISSUE
EARLY NEXT WEEK TO ME, THAT
SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A MUCH
MORE JUDICIOUS APPROACH FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE.
I WOULD OF COURSE DEFER TO THE
THREE COCHAIRS OF THE SELECT
COMMITTEE AND THE COUNCIL
PRESIDENT OFFICE ON FIGURING
OUT THE TIMING AND
COUNCILMEMBER BAGSHAW, IF THERE
IS A TIMING CONCERN THAT YOU
HAVE AS FOR WHEN IT RELATES TO
THIS MEETING I WOULD APPRECIATE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THAT NOW
SO THAT WE COLLECTIVELY HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO WAIVE THAT AS WE
LOOK AT OUR SCHEDULES AND
REARRANGE OUR SCHEDULES TO
ACCOMMODATE THE COMMITTEE.
>> BACKING UP, OUR LAST
COMMITTEE MEETING IS DECEMBER
16, TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY.
WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT, ASSUMING
THAT EVERYONE CONCURS THAT WE
HAVE GOTTEN AS FAR AS WE CAN GO
ON THIS GOVERNANCE DOCUMENT, I
WOULD LIKE TO APPROVE IT ON THE
16th.
OTHERWISE WE START ALL OVER
WITH A NEW COUNSEL AND HAVING
THE HISTORY THAT WE HAVE GONE
THROUGH IN THE LAST YEAR AND A
HALF.
THE GOAL HERE, AFTER THE AMOUNT
OF TIME THAT WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING WITH NEGOTIATING WITHIN
THE CITY OF SEATTLE AND WITH
KING COUNTY, IF THERE IS
ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE NOT SEEN
AT THIS POINT I WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO ME ABOUT
IT.
THERE IS A ONE PAGE THAT I SENT
AROUND THIS WEEKEND THAT
INCLUDE COUNCILMEMBER COLWELL'S
LATEST STRIKER, THE WORK THAT
WE DID LAST WEDNESDAY, THAT WAS
A VERY LENGTHY NEGOTIATION
GOING THROUGH THE 60 PAGES OF
THE DOCUMENT.
I BELIEVE THAT WE WERE 95%
THERE BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE
COUNTY LAST WEDNESDAY.
THEN THERE WERE SOME EXCHANGES
OVER THE WEEKEND.
MY UNDERSTANDING NOW IS THAT WE
HAVE AN OVERVIEW, WE HAVE THE
GOVERNING BOARD THAT WILL BE A
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BOY BASED
UPON A JOINT AGENCY TYPE OF
GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE THAT THE
GOVERNING COMMITTEE WILL HAVE
THREE PEOPLE FROM THE CITY OF
SEATTLE, THE MAYOR AND TWO
COUNCILMEMBERS, THREE PEOPLE
FROM KING COUNTY, THE EXECUTIVE
AND TWO COUNCILMEMBERS AND
THREE MEMBERS OF THE SOUND CITY
ASSOCIATION AND THREE PEOPLE
WITH EXPLAINES TO BE APPOINTED
BY ORGANIZATIONS AND
RECOMMENDED BY ORGANIZATIONS
THAT WOULD BE THINGS LIKE THE
HEALTH COMMITTEE, PROVIDERS
WOULD BE RECOMMENDING THE THREE
PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE.
THEN WE WILL HAVE THE
IMPLEMENTATION BOARD.
THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT FOR THE LAST
YEAR.
THAT WILL BE WHERE THE JUICE
IS, THE IMPLEMENTATION BOARD
WILL BE COMPRISED OF ROUGHLY A
DOZEN DIFFERENT APPOINTED
INDIVIDUALS AND THEY WILL HAVE
HAD VARIOUS EXPERIENCES
DEPENDING UPON WHAT THE
PROVIDERS ARE, LIVED EXPERIENCE
IN PUBLIC HEALTH, ALL OF THAT
IS ON ONE SHEET OF PAPER THAT
WILL BE COMING YOUR WAY.
TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH
ALL OF THE REDLINES IF YOU'RE
INTERESTED, TO SEE THE DOCUMENT
AS IT HAS UNFOLDED OVER THE
LAST MONTH.
YOU CAN START WITH THE ONE PAGE
AND WE WILL BACK UP EVERYTHING
YOU NEED.
>> I DID RECEIVE THE EMAIL THAT
YOU SENT OVER THE WEEKEND FOR
WHAT WE EXPECT KING COUNTY TO
DO.
>> THE CONCERN THAT I AM
FLAGGING IS WE NEVER KNOW WHAT
WILL HAPPEN UNTIL IT HAPPENS.
IF THE KING COUNTY COUNCIL IS
MEETING AT 9:30 IN THE MORNING
ON DECEMBER 5 AND GO THROUGH
WHAT EVER FINAL APPROVALS,
PROPOSALS, AMENDMENTS, ETC., I
HAVE SOME ANXIETY ABOUT WALKING
INTO A MEETING HERE IN THESE
CHAMBERS, JUST A COUPLE OF
HOURS AFTER THEY ARE DONE WITH
THEIR DELIBERATIONS AND TRY TO
GO THROUGH THE EXERCISE OF
RECONCILING WHAT MAY HAVE
CHANGED, WHAT DID NOT CHANGE
AND WHAT THE IMPACT MIGHT BE TO
THE OVERALL STATED GOALS OF THE
REGIONAL GOVERNMENT.
I THINK ALL OF US ARE
INTERESTED IN IT AND CERTAINLY
DO NOT HAVE THE DETAIL THAT IS
NECESSARY TO MAKE THOSE
DECISIONS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE WE MIGHT HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER INTO MORE
THOUGHTFUL DELIBERATIONS AROUND
WHAT MIGHT COME OUT OF THE KING
COUNTY COUNCIL SOMETIME NEXT
WEEK IN TIME FOR A FULL COUNCIL
VOTE ON DECEMBER 16.
THAT IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO GET
A SENSE OF SO THAT WE, ON THE
CITY COUNCIL DO NOT FEEL LIKE
WE ARE BEING JAMMED BY THE
PROCESS.
>> I THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN, IF
WE CAN HAVE THAT MEETING ON
THURSDAY AFTERNOON, THERE IS NO
VOTE BUT THERE WILL BE A
BRIEFING ON EVERYTHING THAT HAS
HAPPENED TO DATE.
IF THOSE OF US WHO ARE HERE
THIS THURSDAY COULD ATTEND THAT
MEETING AS WE AT HAVE PLANNED
WE COULD GET THE FULL BRIEFING
AND LEARN WHAT HAPPENED IN KING
COUNTY.
AND THAT GIVES US THE WEEKEND,
IT IS NOT LIKE THIS IS FOREIGN
TO US TO BE NIMBLE.
I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING LOUD
AND CLEAR.
IF THERE IS SOMETHING CAUSING
CONSTERNATION WE NEED TO DIVE
IN ON IT.
>> AND WE THINK STAFF WILL BE
THERE TO WALK US THROUGH THAT
BRIEFING ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON
IF WE PROCEED WITH THE BRIEFING
AND DISCUSSION.
>> CORRECT.
I HAD HOPED THAT THE GROUP YOU
REMEMBER MEETING MARK JONES AND
OTHERS WILL BE HERE TO PROVIDE
US HOW FAR ALONG THEY ARE WITH
WHAT THEY CALL THE ACTION PLAN.
APPARENTLY THEY ARE NOT
AVAILABLE TO COME ON THURSDAY.
TEST I AM SURE WILL FILL US IN.
>> TEST FROM THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE?
>> CORRECT.
>> I AM MORE INTERESTED IN OUR
STAFF BEING AVAILABLE.
I APPRECIATE TESSA'S WORK I DO
THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE
OUR STAFF IN A POSITION WHERE
THEY CAN BRIEF US FROM A
COUNSEL PERSPECTIVE.
>> JEFF AND TRACY HAVE BEEN AT
VIRTUALLY EVERY MEETING THAT WE
HAVE HAD IN THE LAST MANY
MONTHS.
THEY HAVE BEEN DEEPLY ENGAGED
IN THIS AND I AM SURE THAT JEFF
WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE.
>> I THINK WE HAVE SOME
CONFUSION.
MY UNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE I
SERVE ON THE REGIONAL POLICY
COMMITTEE WE ARE MEETING THIS
THURSDAY AT 1:00.
>> I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE
TIMING.
IT IS AT 9:30, THE REGIONAL
POLICY COMMITTEE IS AT 9:30.
>> NOT AT ONE?
>> I GAVE YOU THAT TIMING IN
ERROR THAT IT WAS CHANGED TO
9:30.
THIS IS THE CRPC, NOT THE FULL
COUNTY COUNSEL.
>>THAT'S NOW AT 9:30 NOT AT
1:00, CORRECT?
>> CORRECT.
>> I AM ALONG THE SAME LINES AS
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS
REGIONAL GOVERNING AUTHORITY AS
A PDA FOR ALMOST 7 MONTHS AND
NOW WE ARE GOING TO GO TO A
INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT AND IT
HAS CHANGED FOUR TIMES IN THE
LAST WEEK.
I KNOW THAT THERE ARE STRIKERS
COMING IN A WE HAVE TO DISCUSS
THIS.
I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED AS WELL
BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING PHONE
CALLS FOR HOW WE ARE GOING TO
VOTE AND I HAVE NOT SEEN
ANYTHING SINCE THE LAST THING.
THE LAST TIME I HEARD WE HAD A
PDA AND I THOUGHT WE WERE OKAY.
THE CITY OF SEATTLE IS PUTTING
IN $73 MILLION AND I UNDERSTAND
THE OUTLYING CITIES HAVE
CONCERNS.
I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE POINTS
THAT IS CAUSING SOME CONCERN IS
HOW THE VOTES WILL BE WEIGHTED.
>> THEY WILL NOT BE WEIGHTED.
>> NOT WEIGHTED.
>>> AS PROPOSED.
>> YES.
I DON'T THINK WE WILL GET TO A
WEIGHTED VOTE.
>> THIS UNDERSCORES WHAT I AM
TRYING TO SAY.
THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING
PIECES AND IT IS MONDAY AND NOT
EVEN 10:00.
I HAVE A SENSE THAT TOMORROW AT
THIS TIME IT WILL BE DIFFERENT
AGAIN.
>> WE WILL MEET AT 9:30 AND
THEN COME OVER HERE THURSDAY AT
ONE IF IN DEED THERE IS
SOMETHING MORE CORRECT.
>> AS I AM LISTENING TO ALL OF
US, MORE THAN EVER I THINK WE
NEED TO HAVE THAT BRIEFING
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
I WILL DOUBLE CHECK EVERYONE'S
CALENDAR, MY STAFF TOLD ME THIS
MORNING THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
THAT WAS GOING TO ATTEND
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
WE WILL CIRCLE THE RAGAN'S
WAGONS AGAIN AS IF WE CAN
REPRIORITIZE.
>> THAT IS THE KEY IS US
ENSURING THAT OUR STAFF IS
PRIORITIZING THIS IN THE
SCHEDULING QUEUE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I AM HAPPY TO HAVE
INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS WITH YOU
BETWEEN NOW AND THURSDAY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> JUST TO MURKY IT UP MORE,
WHEN THE RPC MEETS ON THURSDAY,
ASSUMING THERE IS A VOTE, THAT
IS AN ASSUMPTION A VOTE COMES
OUT OF THAT, AND AFFIRMATIVE
VOTE, THEN IT GOES TO WHERE AND
WHEN IT GOES TO THE FULL
COUNSEL, WOULD THAT BE THE
FOLLOWING WHAT?
I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT THE
TIMING, THAT IS STILL A
COMMITTEE VOTE.
>>MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT WILL
GO DIRECTLY TO THE KING COUNTY
COUNCIL ON THE NEXT MONDAY.
>>THE NINTH.
>> RIGHT.
I BELIEVE THAT IS ONE OF THEIR
LAST FULL COUNCIL MEETINGS.
>> I WILL DO SOME DIGGING.
I AM HAVING OIR LOOK AT THIS.
LET'S LOOK AT THIS AND MAKE
SURE THAT THIS IS PROTECTED IN
THE PROCESS.
>> AT THIS POINT THE WAY THAT
IT HAS BEEN COMPRESSED, I
APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S CONCERNS
AND ALSO KNOWING WE HAVE HAD
HOWEVER MANY REGULAR BRIEFINGS
ON THIS AS IT HAS GONE ALONG,
THE GOAL IS TO GET THE
GOVERNING COMMITTEE IN PLACE SO
THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DO THE
WORK THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT FOR THE LAST YEAR.
>> THE REASON I ASKED THE
QUESTION IS IF IN FACT THE
COUNTY COUNSEL ADOPTS A FINAL
PIECE OF LEGISLATION ON MONDAY
AND WE MEET AFTER THE FACT, IT
SEEMS LIKE IT IS A MOOT ISSUE.
>>
>> CORRECT.
>> WE ARE LOSING OUR ABILITY TO
TRY AND INFLUENCE. I JUST
WANTED TO UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE.
HE FINISHED?
>> I AM.
THANK YOU.
>> COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ.
>> GOOD MORNING.
OUR NEXT CIVIC DEVELOPMENT
PUBLIC ASSET AND DATA COMMITTEE
MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4 AT 2:00.
IT IS A FIELD AGENDA THAT
INCLUDES NUMBER ONE, IT WILL
CONSIDER SEVERAL PARKS RELATED
APPOINTMENTS AND SEVERAL
APPOINTMENTS TO THE NEW CENTRAL
WATERFRONT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
THERE ARE 19 MEMBERS TOTAL, 14
OF WHICH WE WILL DO THOSE
APPOINTMENTS.
NUMBER TWO, A BRIEFING FROM THE
DIRECTOR ON THE PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED MONORAIL ORCA
LEGISLATION PASSED IN
SEPTEMBER.
HE WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATED
REPORT ON THE FINAL CONCESSIONS
AGREEMENT SIGNED BETWEEN THE
SEATTLE MONORAIL SERVICES AND
THE CITY.

AND LASTLY, WE WILL CONSIDER
WATERFRONT LEGISLATION
AUTHORIZING A FUNDING AGREEMENT
AND FUTURE CONSTRUCTION
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND
THE SEATTLE AQUARIUM SOCIETY
FOR A NEW AQUARIUM FACILITY
CALLED THE OCEAN PAVILION.
I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK
BRIEFING WHAT'S GOING ON WITH
SOUND TRANSIT.
I ATTENDED THE I 976 HEARING
LAST TUESDAY.
THE CASE LED BY KING COUNTY AND
GARFIELD COUNTY TRANSPORTATION
AUTHORITY AND A COALITION OF
OTHER GROUPS ARGUED TO
ESTABLISH A TEMPORARY
INJUNCTION THAT WOULD PREVENT
THE INITIATIVE FROM TAKING
EFFECT.
THEY ARGUE THAT ONCE THE MONEY
IS GONE, IT IS GONE CAUSING
IRREPARABLE HARM.
IN ADDITION THEY ARGUE THAT NOT
ONLY DID THE BALLOT LANGUAGE
MISLEAD VOTERS BUT ALSO I-976
VIOLATES PARTS OF THE
CONSTITUTION.
I WANT TO THANK NIKKI, SHE WENT
TO COURT ON OUR BEHALF AND I
WAS VERY PROUD OF HER.
SHE WAS GIVING ME LIVE UPDATED
TEXT AS SHE WAS WATCHING.
THE JUDGE ISSUED AN INJUNCTION
AND THAT IS GREAT NEWS BECAUSE
THAT ALLOWS MORE TIME FOR LEGAL
ARGUMENTS TO BE ADDRESSED.
AS FAR AS COMMITTEES AND OTHER
NEWS AS A MEMBER OF SOUND
TRANSIT REPORT I WILL BE
ATTENDING THE MEETING THIS
THURSDAY AND AS I SHARED I
SERVE ON THE REGIONAL POLICY
COUNSEL WITH COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT AND THANK YOU FOR
LETTING ME KNOW COUNCILMEMBER
BAGSHAW I THOUGHT THAT MEETING
WAS AT 1:00 , BUT IT IS AND
9:30.
THAT IS OKAY.
THAT WILL CHANGE A LOT AND I
WILL BRIEFLY SAY THIS, AGAIN,
SUPPORTING WHAT COUNCILMEMBER
GONZALEZ SAID, WE HAVE BEEN
BRIEF, I KNOW I HAVE BEEN
BRIEFED FIVE TIMES ON THE PDA
MODEL AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO A
ILA MODEL, AND WE HAVE HAD
DIFFERENT ISSUES ABOUT THE
VOTING ON WHETHER IT IS
WEIGHTED OR NOT WEIGHTED.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DOCUMENTS
AND THE NEW DRAFTS.
THANK YOU.
>>THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD.
>> THANK YOU.

MENTIONED.
I WILL WORK WITH YOU
COUNCILMEMBER BAGSHAW, THERE IS
HOPEFULLY FINAL ACTION ON A
EQUITY OF FRAMEWORK FOR METRO
ROLL OUT AND I MAY WORK WITH
OTHERS, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN
FULLY BRIEFED ON WHAT IS
HAPPENING ALTHOUGH A LOT OF
THINGS CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW
AND THURSDAY.
I AM PROBABLY GOING TO PLAN TO
BE AT THE RTC MEETING TO
REPRESENT THE CITY THERE AND
NOT BE HERE, WE WILL SEE WHAT
IS HAPPENING.
>>THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
I KNOW THAT WE ARE JUGGLING SO
MANY THINGS THESE LAST COUPLE
OF WEEKS.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS
SPEND 20 MINUTES WITH YOU IN
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS SO I
CAN GIVE YOU A BRIEFING ON WHAT
HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND AND
YOU WILL HAVE, AT LEAST I KNOW
YOU WILL BE FEELING SECURE AND
MOVING FORWARD.
>> THE OTHER THING HAPPENING I
THINK THERE IS A PS RC
EXECUTIVE MEETING IN THE
MORNING.
BUT THERE IS A POLICY BOARD
MEETING IN THE AFTERNOON FROM 1-
3, WHICH WILL BUT RIGHT UP
AGAINST THE RTC MEETING.
THAT IS THE FINAL MEETING OF
THE YEAR AND THE PLAN IS TO
ADOPT VISION 20/50 IN THAT
MEETING.
HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE IN
ATTENDANCE FOR THAT PART TWO.
THAT IS ALSO A MEETING THAT I
REALLY CANNOT MISS.
>> THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, I
THINK, WE HAD ASSUMED THAT
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON MAY BE
ASSUMING THAT SEAT FROM
COUNCILMEMBER PACHECO WHETHER
OR NOT THAT IS THE CASE OR NOT,
AS WE WERE GOING AROUND THE
OTHER EIGHT COUNCIL MEMBERS
THAT THERE WAS NOBODY BUT ME
THAT WAS GOING TO BE THERE.
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU
CAN JUGGLE THIS.
AND I UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT
THESE OTHER POLICY COMMITTEES
ARE.
WE WILL FIGURE OUT WHAT WE NEED
TO DO.
>>> COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON I
WILL TALK TO OFF-LINE, WE
REALIZE THAT YOU ARE, I DON'T
WANT TO SAY ILL-EQUIPPED, YOU
HAVE NOT HAD ALL OF THE
BRIEFINGS FOR THIS LAST MONTH
THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOSSED INTO.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT SOME
SCHEDULING ISSUES.
>> I APPRECIATE YOUR
FLEXIBILITY.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THAT IS THAT.
LET'S MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE
SESSION IF WE ARE FINISHED WITH
OUR PREVIEW OF THE COUNCIL'S
ACTIONS.
I AM ANNOUNCING THAT WE WILL
CONVENE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
THE PURPOSE IS TO DISCUSS
POTENTIAL ACTUAL LITIGATION.
THESE SESSIONS ARE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DISCUSS
CONFIDENTIAL LEGAL MATTERS AS
AUTHORIZED BY LAW AND MONITORED
BY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
IS PRESENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
RESERVE QUESTIONS OF PUBLIC
POLICY AND OPEN PUBLIC
TRANSPARENT SESSIONS.
I EXPECT THIS SESSION TO BE 30
MINUTES THAT WILL BE UNTIL
10:42 A.M., IF IT GOES BEYOND
THAT PERIOD I WILL ANNOUNCE IT
EXPECTED CONTINUATION AND
EXTENSION IN PUBLIC SESSION.
WITH THAT LET'S SECURE THE
ROOM.
