GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.
IT IS NOVEMBER 6. THIS IS OUR
BUDGET COMMITTEE.
I AM SALLY BAGSHAW, CHAIR OF
THE COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE
AFTER OUR GRUELING EVENING LAST
NIGHT WITH LOOKING AT BALLOTS.
I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE FRANKLY
THE FACT THAT COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD AND COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT AND COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ
WILL BE HERE.
IT IS NOT OVER, BUT I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE I REALLY RESPECT
THE COURAGE AND INTEGRITY ALL
OF YOU HAVE SHOWN THROUGH
THIS.
THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL SEE
WHERE THIS GOES.
THERE ARE A LOT OF BALLOTS TO
BE COUNTED.
ALEX, APPEARS CONGRATULATIONS
ARE DUE TO YOU AS WELL.
SO WE WILL HAVE, WE WILL SEE
MORE BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
DIVING INTO OUR BUDGET TODAY,
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS WE
ALL KNOW WE HAVE BEEN TAKING
THE MAYORS BUDGET, LOOKING AT
WHAT SHE HAD PROPOSED, AND THEN
CLOSELY LOOKING AT OUR OWN
PRIORITIES.
I'M GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING TO
SAY ABOUT THOSE PRIORITIES, BUT
I ALSO WANT TO EXTEND A BIG
THANKS TO MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES
FOR FOCUSING ON WHAT WE KNOW IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE
NEEDED TO DO FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING, BETTER SITUATION FOR
PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS ADDING
TO THE LEAD PROGRAM AND HYGIENE
PROJECTS, WE WILL TALK MORE
ABOUT THAT.
SO WE BEGAN OUR REVIEW LATE
SEPTEMBER WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE
MAYORS BUDGET.
WE SPENT MUCH TIME LISTENING TO
OUR DEPARTMENTS, LISTENING TO
THE PUBLIC, MEETING WITH PEOPLE
THAT HAVE LIVED EXPERIENCES
AROUND HOMELESSNESS, AND I KNOW
THAT WHAT WE ARE COMING TO
TODAY IS NOT FINALIZE, BUT I
ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
WE ON THE COUNCIL HAVE SPENT A
LOT OF TIME TOGETHER LOOKING AT
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO US.
TODAY WHAT WE HAVE IS WHAT IS
CALLED THE INITIAL BALANCING
PACKAGE.
I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE COUNCIL
CENTRAL STAFF, ALL OF YOU AT
THE TABLE AND IN THE FRONT
ROWS.
THANK YOU FOR SPENDING YOUR
WEEKEND WITH ME LAST WEEK.
MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE TO HAVE
YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT YOU
SAW, WHAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN, AND
I KNOW ALLIE AND DAN, THANK YOU
FOR BEING THE COCHAIRS ON THIS.
KIERSTEN UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP,
I THINK WE HAVE COME A LONG
WAY, AND I AM FEELING VERY GOOD
ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE.
WE HAVE RECOMMENDED MANY WORTHY
PROJECTS COME OUT THINGS I
BELIEVE WE ALL AGREE ON, AND I
ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE BEN
NOBLE, THANK YOU FOR THE
REVENUE FORECAST, THANK YOU FOR
WORKING WITH US, AND I KNOW
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT TO
HEAR TODAY.
JUST ON THE OVERVIEW WHAT IS
HAPPENING TODAY, THIS IS THE
INITIAL BUDGET PACKAGE, WE WILL
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE
THINGS OUT, BUT KNOW THEY HAVE
TO BE BUDGET NEUTRAL.
WE ARE NOW AT A POINT WHERE WE
HAVE A BALANCE PACKAGE AND ANY
CHANGES THAT WE MAKE, I'M
HOPING THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN
LOOK AT IT WITHIN THEIR OWN SET
OF PRIORITIES SO WHEN WE COME
BACK A WEEK FROM TODAY FOR A
FINAL PACKAGE, WE WILL HAVE AS
MUCH CONSISTENCY WITHOUT
FINDING OURSELVES HAVING GAPS
THAT WERE UNINTENDED TODAY.
FOR EXAMPLE, SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT WE HAVE ADDED, AND AGAIN,
I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE WITH
GREAT THANKS THE FACT THAT WE
ARE LOOKING AT A SYSTEMS
APPROACH.
WHAT I STARTED OUT WITH THIS
BUDGET TALKING ABOUT, THAT WE
WANT TO BUILD ON WHAT IS
WORKING BECAUSE, AS I KNOW MY
COLLEAGUE DAN SADDLE BROOK HAS
SAID, WE KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO TO
REALLY AFFECT CHANGE, BUT WHAT
IS WORKING IS AT CAPACITY.
SO WE NEED TO MAKE THESE
CHANGES IN A WAY THAT MAKES
SENSE.
WE ARE TODAY GOING TO DISCUSS
OUR AD FOR 3.5 MILLION FOR THE
LEAD PROGRAM, ALL COUNCIL
MEMBERS AGREED ON THAT AS ONE
OF THE TOP PRIORITIES.
WE ARE GOING TO ADD ONE .3
MILLION, COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD
I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR
LEADERSHIP ON THIS FOR FIVE
MOBILE UNITS FOR BATHROOM
FACILITIES THAT CAN BE MOVED,
BUT TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF
PEOPLE THAT WAKE UP IN THE
MORNING, THOSE OF US WHO ARE
HOUSED, WE ARE BLESSED, THOSE
WHO DON'T HAVE IT, THEY HAVE
NEEDS JUST AS WE DO, AND THESE
MOBILE UNITS ARE GOING TO HELP.
WE ARE GOING TO ADD IT ONE .8
MILLION FOR AT LEAST TWO TINY
HOME VILLAGES, WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT AND COUNCILMEMBER
MOSQUITO, THIS IS SOMETHING YOU
AND I HAVE BEEN REALLY
CHAMPIONING FOR YEARS.
ONE POINT IN MILLION DOESN'T
SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS
REALLY GOING TO HELP ADDRESS.
AS WE HAVE HEARD FROM MANY
PEOPLE OVER THE LAST MONTH,
PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCES,
WE KNOW THOSE TINY HOMES DO
MORE FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF
THEIR PARTNERS, THEIR
POSSESSIONS AND THEIR PETS.
WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE ADDING
ONE .5 MILLION FOR USE
HOMELESSNESS DIRECTED TO THE
UNIVERSITY TO SEE DISTRICT,
ROOTS IN PARTICULAR.
I WANT TO COUNT ACKNOWLEDGE
COUNCILMEMBER PACHECO AND HIS
ADVOCACY FOR THAT.
WE ARE LOOKING AT ADDING $1
MILLION TO EXPAND HOMELESS
SERVICES FOR AMERICAN INDIAN
AND ALASKA NATIVE INDIVIDUALS.
THIS IS COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ
WORK WITH ECHO HAWK IN THE WORK
SHE IS DOING WITH HER NEW
HOMELESS BUILDING THAT IS GOING
TO BE WHERE THE LAZARUS DAY
CENTER IS NOW.
WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE ADDING
700,000 FOR RENTAL ASSISTANT
PILOT PROGRAM.
I BELIEVE COUNCILMEMBER
GONZALES YOU HAVE BEEN DELETED
THIS FOR HOME FOR GOOD.
A 280,000 HARM REDUCTION
OUTREACH PROGRAM FOR STREET
BASED SEX WORKERS AND DRUG
USERS.
AGAIN, ALL OF US HAVE AGREED ON
THIS AND COUNCILMEMBER
MOSQUITO, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP.
-- WE ARE ALSO GOING TO ADD TO
IT 1000 FOR MENTAL HEALTH
OUTREACH WORKERS, SOMETHING
THAT WAS CHAMPIONED BY THE
LOCAL BIA AND $1.8 MILLION IN
SUPPORT FOR DOWNTOWN EMERGENCY
SERVICES CENTER, BILL HOBSON
CENTER, WHICH WILL BE DOWN IN
RAINIER.
WE WILL ADD THAT MONEY
PRIMARILY FOR THEIR CLINIC.
THEY HAVE RAISED MONEY FOR THE
HOUSING THAT WILL BE ON TOP OF
IT.
BUT I'M VERY PLEASED THAT THAT
HAS BEEN INCLUDED.
MUCH OF OUR INITIAL BALANCING
PACKAGE COORDINATES OUR HIGHEST
PRIORITIES, AS WE MENTIONED FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS, THE
LEAD PROGRAM AND HYGIENE, BUT
THIS COORDINATES THE WORK WE'VE
ALSO BEEN DOING IN THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE REFORM AREA.
WE ARE ADDING PUBLIC SAFETY
INVESTMENTS FOR POLICE AND
FIRE, BUT WE ARE PUTTING
PROVISOS ON SOME OF THAT SO IT
GETS DIRECTED TO WHERE WE
WANTED TO GO.
LIKEWISE WE'RE GOING TO HEAR
MORE, YOU ARE GOING TO ADDRESS
THIS AROUND OUR TRANSPORTATION
PRIORITIES.
I PUT IN FOR THE THOMAS STREET
CONNECTIONS, SOME OF THAT WE
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IN
ADVANCE UNTIL WE KNOW MORE
ABOUT THE IMPACT OF INITIATIVE
976.
I AM HOPING WE CAN STILL MOVE
FORWARD WITH MUCH, MOST OR ALL
OF THESE PROJECTS, BUT WE HAVE
TO BE REALISTIC THAT IS 976,
THE RESULTS ARE COMING OUT.
WE MAY NOT HAVE THE MONIES WE
HOPE TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO
HAVE IMPORTANT TRANSPORTATION
INVESTMENTS IN SIMPLE
MAINTENANCE LIKE SOME OF THE
BRIDGES, SEVERAL HUNDRED THAT
WE NEED TO ADDRESS.
AND THESE ARE GOING TO TAKE
MAJOR COOPERATION BETWEEN THE
CITY, COUNTY, STATE AND SOMEDAY
WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AGAIN.
WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT
PROTECTIONS FOR IMAGE IT
IMMIGRANT AND LEGAL ASSISTANCE
FOR INDIVIDUALS FACING
EVICTION.
WILL PUT IN ROUGHLY $1 MILLION
AND COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, MAYBE
YOU'RE LISTENING, BUT WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE $500,000 TO
BUILD A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT
FIRE STATION 31 BELT INTO OUR
BUDGET AND ANOTHER 400,000 TO
PROMOTE THE COMMUNITY GATHERING
SPACE FOR FORTSON SQUARE, WHICH
IS PART OF THE WORK BEING DONE
OF CALLING ECHO HAWKS WORK A
CHIEF SEATTLE CLUB.
WE HAVE MONEY IN THIS BUDGET
FOR THE GREEN NEW DEAL
OVERSIGHT BOARD YOU ARE HOPING
WE CAN INCLUDE IN THIS.
>> VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
>> I KNOW YOU ARE.
WE DO HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET.
I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AGAIN AND
GREAT THANKS FOR COUNTS ROLE --
COUNSEL CENTRAL STAFF ARE
HELPING ME BUILD A SYSTEMS
APPROACH.
THIS MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO ME
IN MY 10th YEAR ON THIS COUNSEL
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HAVING
A HARM REDUCTION APPROACH IN
OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
THAT WILL NOT ONLY IMPROVE THE
OUTCOMES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE IN
THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM ARE
HEADING THAT WAY, BUT ALSO
IMPROVE THE OUTCOMES FOR PEOPLE
IN OUR CITY AS A WHOLE.
MANY OF THE INVESTMENTS WERE
RECOMMENDED BY THE EXECUTIVE,
WE'RE JUST PUTTING A BIG STAR
THAT SAYS THANK YOU AND WE MAY
BE SUPPORTING MORE INVESTMENTS
IN THESE AREAS.
I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOMETHING
WE BROUGHT UP LAST WEEK, AND
THAT IS THE WEST WING, WHICH IS
IMMEDIATELY NEXT-DOOR WITH THE
KING COUNTY JAIL.
IF YOU HAVE NOT GONE THERE, I
ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES AND THE
PUBLIC TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
THIS IS A 24/7 SHELTER THAT IS
PROVIDING WHAT PEOPLE NEED, A
PLACE TO BE 24 SEVEN, FOOD THAT
IS BROUGHT IN BY OUR OUTREACH
GROUP, THE OPERATION SACK LUNCH
AND GETTING THE SERVICES TO
PEOPLE THAT THEY NEED WHEN THEY
NEED IT AND THE RIGHT TYPE OF
SERVICE.
AGAIN, THAT IS WHAT OUR
INVESTMENTS ARE GOING TO BE
DOING AS WE COORDINATE THIS,
AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND
GIVE THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE
BEEN GIVING INPUT, WHETHER IT
IS OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, ARE
BUSINESS LEADERS, OUR LABOR
LEADERS, THE CITY ATTORNEYS
OFFICE, OUR JUDGES, AND AGAIN,
PEOPLE WITH LIFT EXPERIENCE YOU
PROVIDED US WITH INPUT WE HAVE
USED TO BUILD ON THIS NEW
PACKAGE.
AT THIS POINT I'M GOING TO ADD
NOTHING MORE, BUT TO ASK TOM
AND LISA OF OUR COUNCIL AND
CENTRAL STAFF TO BEGIN WALKING
THROUGH THIS.
QUESTIONS, OF COURSE, WE WILL
ANSWER, AND THEN AGAIN AT THE
END OF THE SESSION TODAY, WE
WILL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT.
NEXT WEDNESDAY WILL BE OUR
FINAL BALANCING PACKAGE.
WE WILL AGAIN HAVE PUBLIC
COMMENT AT THE END OF THAT DAY,
THEN OUR VOTE WHERE WE ACTUALLY
WILL BE VOTING ON THE PACKAGE
IS TUESDAY NOVEMBER 19.
AND WE WILL GO THROUGH LINE
ITEM BY LINE ITEM ON ALL THE
ITEMS, AND THEN THE FINAL VOTE
AND PASSAGE WE HOPE WILL BE THE
MONDAY BEFORE THINK GIVING.
ANY COMMENTS?
>> THANK YOU CHAIR BAGSHAW.
I WANTED TO IN THE VERY LONG
LIST OF APPROPRIATELY GIVEN
PUBLIC THINGS, I WANTED TO AT A
TAKE YOU TO YOU AS YOUR
LEADERSHIP IS THE BUDGET CHAIR.
THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR YOU
SERVED IN THIS ROLE AND REALLY
APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTFUL AND
CAREFUL APPROACH TO THE BUDGET.
BY MAKING SURE WE UP HERE HAVE
ALL THE INFORMATION WE NEED IN
TERMS OF PROCESS AND NEXT STEPS
AND PROCEDURES, AND I THINK YOU
HAVE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF
PROVIDING US WITH A SOLID
BALANCED REVISED INITIAL
PACKAGE, AND JUST WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR THAT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> IT IS NOT EASY WERE, I
RECOGNIZE THAT.
>> COUNCILWOMAN HERBOLD.
>> DOES A SMALL ADDITION.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
BEING FAIR TO ALL OF US AND
RECOGNIZING THAT A COUNSEL OF
NINE PEOPLE, WE HAVE A LOT OF
SHARED GOALS BUT ALSO HAVE
GOALS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US
INDIVIDUALLY.
SO I THINK THE JOB OF THE
BUDGET CHAIR IS TO USE THAT
POWER IN A WAY THAT
ACCOMPLISHES BOTH GOALS, AND
YOU'VE DONE SO.
AND FINALLY, I WANT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THIS BALANCED
BUDGET IS NOT ONLY A
MANIFESTATION OF THIS COUNCILS
VALUES, BUT EVEN MORE
IMPORTANTLY, A MANIFESTATION OF
YOURS.
SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
SOME REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS IN
HERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WITH THAT TEARJERKER, LET ME
PASS IT ON.
>> CAN I SAY SOMETHING?
IT IS NOT TO COMPLEMENT YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
VERY HARD FOR ME TO TAKE.
VERY HARD.
>> NOT THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH
EVERYTHING SAID.
WITH 150 SOME ITEMS TODAY, ARE
YOU LOOKING FOR US TO CHIME IN
ON EACH ITEM ARE REALLY JUST
LET CENTRAL STAFF WALK-THROUGH
AND IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS --
>> I THINK THE LATTER.
UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING WANT
TO ADD OR SPECIFICALLY WE HAVE
NOT HER BEFORE --
>> LET'S MOVE THROUGH IT.
>> WE HAVE ALL TALKED ABOUT
THIS MULTIPLE TIMES NOW AND
HAVE INDIVIDUAL CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO EACH
OF US.
SO MOVING THROUGH IT.
AND AS YOU POINTED OUT, WHAT
WAS THE NUMBER?
157 AND 22 SLIDES OR SOME SUCH.
>> SOMETHING CLOSE TO THAT.
>> SO WE HAVE PLENTY TO DO.
I DON'T WANT TO SHUT DOWN
CONVERSATION, BUT IF YOU DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING EITHER NEW OR
SOMETHING YOU WANT TO HAVE FINE-
TUNED, LET'S JUST KEEP MOVING
THROUGH THIS.
THANK YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR,
MEMBERS OF THE SELECT BUDGET
COMMITTEE.
I AM WITH COUNSEL MECK CENTRAL
STAFF JOINED BY MY CO-BUDGET
COORDINATOR LISA K AND ALSO
FELLOW COLLEAGUES FROM CENTRAL
STAFF.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTRODUCTORY
REMARKS.
THEY WERE A HELPFUL SET UP FOR
THE REST OF TODAY'S
PRESENTATION.
BEFORE I GO INTO THE SUBJECT
MATTER, ON BEHALF OF CENTRAL
STAFF, I WOULD LIKE TO ECHO THE
THANKS WE HAVE TO COUNCIL
MEMBERS AND THEIR OFFICE STAFF
IN WORKING THROUGH AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF DETAILED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION AND BUDGET
PROPOSALS . IT IS NOT EASY
WERE, AND IT IS GOING REALLY
SMOOTHLY, AND WE APPRECIATE THE
BACK-AND-FORTH.
WE ARE A LITTLE OVER HALFWAY
THROUGH THIS PROCESS, AND STILL
HAVE A WAYS TO GO.
BUT EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL.
I WANT TO ALSO ON BEHALF OF
CENTRAL STAFF EXTEND A SPECIAL
THANKS TO YOU MADAM CHAIR FOR
YOUR CLEAR PRIORITIES AT THE
BEGINNING OF OUR BUDGETING
PROCESS, AND YOUR COMMITMENT
OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKENDS
WORKING WITH STAFF TO PUT THE
PACKAGE TOGETHER, AND THAT WENT
VERY WELL AS WELL.
SO THE WAY WE HAVE THIS SET UP
THIS MORNING IS, TO WORK FROM
THE AGENDA FOLLOWING THE
PRIORITIZATION SCHEDULE THAT
YOU HAVE OUTLINED SO THE
HOMELESSNESS, HYGIENE, HOUSING,
LEAD AND OTHER PRIORITIES,
WE'RE GOING TO COVER 151
INDIVIDUAL AREAS, AND WE ARE
GOING TO HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS,
BUT THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES
TO DISCUSS EACH ISSUE IF
DESIRED, AND WE WILL BRING THE
RELEVANT SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS
FROM CENTRAL STAFF TO THE TABLE
TO ASSIST THAT DISCUSSION AS
NECESSARY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MEMBERS
WILL NOTE AS WE GO THROUGH IS
THAT IN SOME CASES THE ORIGINAL
PROPOSED COUNSEL BUDGET ACTION
HAS BEEN REVISED FROM WHAT WAS
DISCUSSED WEEKS AGO.
AND THIS IS IN THE CONTEXT OF
THE LIMITED RESOURCE
AVAILABILITY THAT WE STARTED
WITH IN TERMS OF A FULLY
ALLOCATED BUDGET PROPOSAL THAT
WAS RECEIVED FROM THE MAYORS
OFFICE.
SO -- TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
WHERE DIFFERENCES DO EXIST,
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REASONS
FOR THOSE.
IN SOME CASES, THE NUMBER IS
DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE TECHNICAL
CALCULATION OF A POSITION ADD,
FOR EXAMPLE, IS SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT THAN THE PROPOSAL.
THAT IS JUST A TECHNICAL
CHANGE.
IN OTHER CASES, GIVEN THAT WE
ARE DEALING WITH SCORES
RESOURCES, THEIR ITEMS
IDENTIFIED AS SCALABLE THAT CAN
BE DELAYED IN SOME WAY.
FOR EXAMPLE, HIRING A POSITION
SLIGHTLY LATER IN THE YEAR.
AND SO, WHEN THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES MADE SENSE, THEY
WERE EMBRACED.
AND FINALLY, GIVEN THAT ONGOING
REVENUE IS ALWAYS AT A PREMIUM,
IN THE CASES WHERE AN ONGOING
TO ONE-TIME REVENUE SHIFT COULD
BE MADE, THOSE OPTIONS WERE
CHOSEN IN SOME CASES AS WELL.
SO AGAIN, AT THIS POINT I THINK
I WILL JUST DIVE IN AND START.
WE'RE LOOKING AT AGENDA ITEM 1
UNDER THE HOMELESSNESS
PRIORITIZATION CATEGORY.
COUNSEL BUDGET ACTIONM 181 ADS
206,000 GENERAL FUND ONE TIME
TO THE HUMAN SERVICES
DEPARTMENT TO EXTEND FOR 24
MONTHS THE EXISTING PILOT
PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES TO MENTAL
HEALTH OUTREACH WORKERS TO
SERVE THE UNIVERSITY DISTRICT.
ITEM NUMBER TWO COUNSEL BUDGET
ACTIONM 2 B ONE AT $60,000 TO
THE GENERAL FUND TO THE HUMAN
SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO SET UP A
NEW TINY HOME VILLAGE FOR 40
HOUSEHOLDS WHICH INCLUDES
142,000 AND ONE-TIME FUNDS OF
458,000 AND ONGOING FUNDS.
THIS ACTION ALSO ESTABLISHES A
PROVISO.
ITEM 3 IS COUNSEL BUDGET
ACTIONM 3 B ONE.
WHICH AS TO THE HUMAN SERVICES
DEPARTMENT TO EXPAND THE NUMBER
OF TINY HOME VILLAGES.
IT INCLUDES 600,000 GENERAL
FUND AND ONE-TIME FUNDING AND
600 THOUSAND AND ONGOING
FUNDING.
THE TOTAL FUNDING IS ESTIMATED
TO SUPPORT A SINGLE NEW TINY
HOME VILLAGE THAT WILL
PRIORITIZE REFERRALS FROM THE
TEAM, LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTED
DIVERSION PROGRAM AND THE
SEATTLE MISCIBLE COURT.
THE ACTION ALSO ESTABLISHES TWO
PROVISOS.
ITEM 4 IS A SLIDE AT THE
REQUEST A REPORT ON SITES FOR A
TINY HOME VILLAGE.
ITEM 5, WHICH IS COUNSEL
BUDGETM -- FIVE DEATH -B AS

MITIGATION PROGRAM.
ITEM NUMBER EIGHT CBA BUDGET
ACTION M ADDS $158,000 TO THE
HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO
START UP AND OPERATE IN
OVERNIGHT SAFE PARKING LOT FOR
INDIVIDUALS DRAWLING IN
VEHICLES.
THIS IS ACHIEVED WITH 33,000
AND ONE-TIME GENERAL FUNDS AND
125,000 IN ONGOING FUNDS.
ITEM 9 AS SHOWN CURRENTLY HAS
BEEN REPLACED.
I BELIEVE THE REPLACEMENT ITEM
HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED.
THIS ITEM SHOULD REPRESENTM 10
B ONE WHICH HAS $1 MILLION FROM
THE GENERAL FUND, INCLUDING OF
WHICH 30 $395,000 IS ONE TIME,
TO HSD TO EXPAND THE HOMELESS
SERVICE FOR AMERICAN INDIAN AND
ALASKA NATIVE HOMELESS
INDIVIDUALS.
ITEM 10 WHICH IS COUNSEL BUDGET
ACTIONM 11 -A 2.
>> EXCUSE ME, ON NINE DID I
MISS SOMETHING HERE?
YOU'RE ADDING $10,000 ARE GOING
TO SUPPORT TRANSPORTATION AND
ACTIVITIES FOR LOW INCOME
SENIORS, AND THAT WAS IN
ADDITION TO THE $25,000 I
BELIEVE THAT THE MAYOR HAD PUT
IN, SO SPECIFICALLY, WE'RE
LOOKING AT $35,000 HERE?
SO TALK TO ME MORE ABOUT THE $1
MILLION.
>> I CAN.
THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE
INITIAL POSTED BUDGET.
IT SHOULD BEM 10 -B ONE FOR
THAT ITEM.
IT IS ALSO LISTED LATER IN THE
AGENDA.M 10 B 1 AND THIS IS
FOR SERVICES TO AMERICAN INDIAN
AND ALASKAN NATIVE INDIVIDUALS.
THAT IS A TOTAL PACKAGE.
395,000, THAT IS ONE TIMERS THE
OTHER PIECES OF IT ARE ONGOING.
>> ONTO OUR AGENDAS.
DISPERSION IS WRONG.
>> HSD 10 -B 1 WAS LISTED
TWICE IN THE AGENDA.
INADVERTENTLY IN THE
HOMELESSNESS SECTION AND LATER
IN THE AGENDA AND THE OTHER
DEPARTMENTS AND TOPICS.
SEVERALLY, ITEM 9 SHOULD'VE
BEENM 10 B 1.
>> THAT IS WHAT PATTY W█AS
TRYING TO TELL ME AS I WAS
WALKING DOWN THE HALL.
THANK YOU.
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT
CATCHING IT.
BUT AT LEAST WE'RE ON THE SAME
PAGE.
LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM 10.
>> ITEM 10 IS BUDGET ACTIONM 11
82 -- LETTER A TO.
WHICH HAS 100,000 GENERAL FUND
TO THE HUMAN SERVICES
DEPARTMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES
AND REPRESENTATION FOR YOUTH
FOR THOSE PROVIDED BY LEGAL
COUNSEL FOR YOUTH AND CHILDREN.
ITEM 11 BUDGET ACTION M AND 12
B1 AT 75,000 FROM THE GENERAL
FUND TO HSD TO FIND A SMART
WALLET TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM TO
ENABLE DONATIONS TO INDIVIDUALS
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS SUCH
AS THE PROGRAM OPERATED BY
SAMARITAN.
>> QUESTION I HAVE ABOUT THAT
PARTICULAR AD.
IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT FOR
EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS A
SAMARITAN BEACON, THERE IS AN
EXPECTATION THAT THEY ARE
RECEIVING CASE MANAGEMENT
SERVICES.
I AM WONDERING, AND I HAVE READ
OF COURSE ONLY ANECDOTALLY, I
DON'T HAVE ANY DATA ABOUT THIS,
BUT ANECDOTALLY I HAVE READ
THAT SERVICE, SOCIAL SERVICE
AGENCIES THAT PROVIDE CASE
MANAGEMENT HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATED
BY AN EXPECTATION THAT BEACON
HOLDERS CAN ACCESS OR SHOULD BE
ACCESSING VERY LIMITED CASE
MANAGEMENT SERVICES, AND I AM
WONDERING, SHOULD THERE BE A
CORRESPONDING ADD TO PAY FOR
THE NECESSARY UNFUNDED CASE
MANAGEMENT SERVICES ASSOCIATED
WITH THESE BEACONS?
>> THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE
PACKAGE AS IT IS NOW.
YOU ARE CORRECT THAT IN ORDER
FOR AN INDIVIDUAL EXPENSING
HOMELESSNESS WHO IS
PARTICIPATING IN THE SAMARITAN
PROGRAM TO ACCESS THEIR FUNDS,
TYPICALLY THEY ARE REQUIRED TO
BE MEETING WITH A CASE MANAGER,
WHICH WOULD TAKE TIME FROM
OTHER TYPES OF CASE MANAGEMENT
ACTIVITIES AS THEY MEET
INDIVIDUALLY WITH THAT
INDIVIDUAL.
WHETHER OR NOT THAT INCREASES
THE OVERALL TIME THAT HAS ME
SPENT WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL, I
DON'T HAVE DATA ON THAT.
WE CAN WORK TO GET MORE
INFORMATION FOR YOU.
>> I WOULD LIKE THAT.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD.
>> PLEASE CONTINUE.
>> MOVING TO ITEM 12, COUNSEL
BUDGET ACTIONM 13 B1 , THIS
ITEM ADDS 700,000 DOLLARS
GENERAL FUND AND ONE-TIME
FUNDING TO THE HSD TO CREATE
AND EVALUATE A RENTAL
ASSISTANCE PILOT FOR
INDIVIDUALS WERE OVER 50 YEARS,
850 OR OLDER WITH LIMITED
INCOME, AND ARE AT RISK ARE
CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS.
ITEM 13, WHICH WOULD, COUNSEL
BUDGET ACTIONM-15 A2 IN PROSE
IS IMPROVISER ON THE NAVIGATION
TEAM APPRECIATIONS IN HSD.
ITEM NUMBER 14, BUDGET ACTION M
1981 -- LETTER A ONE AS
$190,000 FROM THE GENERAL FUND
IN ONE-TIME FUNDING AND ADDS
ONE .0 FTE TO HSD TO ADD
LIMITED TERM LYTIC GRANT AND
CONTRACT SPECIALIST TO THE
HOMELESSNESS STRATEGY AND
INVESTMENTS DIVISION IN HSD.
ITEM NUMBER 14 -- ITEM NUMBER 15
REDUCES THE COUNSEL BUDGET
ACTION M 60 LETTER A 1 ,
PRETTY REDUCES THE SAVE PARKING
PROGRAM AND HSD DEPARTMENT BY
$125,000 GENERAL FUND.
SO JUST AS BACKGROUND, THE 2020
PROPOSED BUDGET INCLUDES
$250,000 GF AND ONGOING FUNDING
FOR THIS PROGRAM AND EXPANDED
THE PROGRAM BY $125,000 FROM
THE GENERAL FUND AND ONE-TIME
FUNDING FROM ANOTHER SPEND IN
2019.
THE PROGRAM AND THE PROPOSED
BUDGT ONLY WORKS WITH FAITH-
BASED INSTITUTIONS TO IDENTIFY
POTENTIAL PARKING SPACES.
THIS BUDGET ACTION REDUCES THE
ONGOING FUNDING FOR THIS
PROGRAM AND REDIRECTS THE
FUNDING FOR A SAFE PARKING
PROGRAM AT UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS
AS REFLECTED IN BUDGET ACTIONM
EIGHT -B 1.
>> FOR MY RECOLLECTION, DID WE
HAVE ANY FUNDS IN THE 2019
BUDGET FOR THIS PROGRAM?
>> NOT FOR UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS,
WHICH IS THE BUDGET ACTION FORM
8 -B 1. THE 2020 BUDGET BOTH
PROVIDE $250,000 IN ONGOING
FUNDING FOR A SAFE PARKING
PILOT.
THIS CURRENT ACTION WE ARE
LOOKING AT, M 60, TAKES
APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THAT
ONGOING FUNDING AND DIRECTED TO
BE USED FOR A SEPARATE BUDGET
ACTION.
>> THE 2019 MONEY, OR THOSE
ABLE TO BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE
OF A SAFE PARKING PROJECT.
>> HSD ANTICIPATES THERE WILL
BE APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THOSE
FUNDS THAT WILL NOT BE UTILIZED
IN 2019, THE MAYORS PROPOSED
BUDGET ACTUALLY TAKES THAT
UNSPENT $125,000 AND CARRIES IT
FORWARD FOR THE SAME PURPOSE TO
2020 SO THERE WOULD BE AN
OVERALL INCREASE IF YOU LOOKED
AT JUST THE $250,000 AND
ONGOING, THE GOAL IS TO REACH
30 PARKING SPOTS, TAKING THE
UNUSED MONEY FROM 2019 AND
ADDING IT OR LAYERING ON TOP.
IDEALLY, THEY WOULD GET TO 40
SPACES.
AT THIS TIME, THERE ONLY FIVE
ADDITIONAL SPACES OR A TOTAL OF
SEVEN THAT HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED
WITH THE PILOT.
THERE IS WORK TO CONTINUE
EXPANDING THAT AND NUMEROUS
FAITH-BASED INSTITUTIONS BEING
SPOKEN TO.
BUT THAT GOAL HAS NOT BEEN MET
YET.
THANK YOU.
>> I AM ALWAYS IMPRESSED BY
WHAT YOU HAVE IN THOSE BRAIN
CELLS OF YOURS.
SO THANK YOU.
PLEASE CONTINUE.
>> ITEM 16 IS COUNSEL BUDGET
ACTIONM 61 -A 1. IS $345,000
GENERAL FROM ONE-TIME PENDING
FUNDING FOR THE HUMAN SERVICES
DEPARTMENT.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO
THIS BRIEFLY.
THIS IS FOR THE NEW REGIONAL
GOVERNANCE EFFORT, AND I KNOW
WE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH
THIS.
I DO NOT WANT THE EXECUTIVE
OFFICE TO THINK THAT WE DO NOT
WANT THIS PROGRAM.
WE DO.
WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT ADDING
PEOPLE RIGHT AWAY IN THE FIRST
QUARTER THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE
READY FOR THAT, THAT WE WILL
HAVE AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THAT
WILL NEED TO BE HIRED.
THERE ARE FABULOUS CITY
EMPLOYEES AND COUNTY EMPLOYEES
THAT CAN COME TOGETHER AND HELP
MOVE THIS FORWARD, SO THIS 345
IS NOT TO BE RECEIVED AS A
SIGNAL THAT I AM NOT SUPPORTING
THIS REGIONAL GOVERNANCE THAT
MANY OF US HAVE BEEN WORKING ON
ALL YEAR . IT IS THAT IT IS A
TINY ISSUE.
>> THANK YOU.
ITEM 17 IS COUNSEL BUDGET
ACTION M 62 -A -1 WHICH
REDUCES BY $1 MILLION GENERAL
FUND THE APPROPRIATION IN HSD
WHICH IS PROPOSED TO RELOCATE
TWO TINY HOME VILLAGES.
>> AND I BELIEVE FOR
CLARIFICATION THAT IT IS OUR
DESIRE TO SUPPORT AN EFFORT TO
RETAIN THE GEORGETOWN TINY HOME
VILLAGE.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONE AT
NORTHLAKE HAS ALREADY BEEN
IDENTIFIED AND NOTIFIED THAT IT
WILL BE CLOSED AT THE END OF
DECEMBER, BUT THAT THERE AT
THERE WILL BE SPACE MADE
AVAILABLE ELSEWHERE.
>> THANK YOU.
ITEM NUMBER 18, ADS $1.8
MILLION GENERAL FUND TO HSD TO
CONSTRUCT A HEALTH CLINIC
LOCATED WITHIN A PERMANENT
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FACILITY IN
RAINIER VALLEY SUCH AS THE BILL
HOBSON COMPREHENSIVE CLINIC.
THAT IS THE FINAL INVESTMENT
WITHIN THE HOMELESSNESS
CATEGORY OF PRIORITIES.
NOW I WILL MOVE TO THE HOUSING
INVESTMENTS.
ITEM 19, A PROVISO ON THE
STRATEGIC INVESTMENT FUND THAT
IS CREATED IN THE 2020 PROPOSED
BUDGET IN FINANCE GENERAL.
>> DO YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE THAT
PROVISO JUST BRIEFLY?
>> MADAM CHAIR, THAT PROVISO
WOULD PRECLUDE THE EXECUTIVE
FROM SPENDING THE MONEY THAT
WILL BE IN FINANCE GENERAL FOR
THE STRATEGIC INVESTMENT FUND
UNTIL THE EXECUTIVE PRESENTS A
PROPOSED SPENDING PLAN TO THE
COUNSEL THAT THEY REVIEW AND
APPROVE BY ORDINANCE.
ADDITIONALLY, WE ADDED SOME
LANGUAGE THAT HAS SPECIFICALLY
IN THE PREPARATION OF THE
SPENDING PLAN TO CONSIDER
CRITERIA SIMILAR TO THAT USED
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
IN THE PREPARATION OF THE
CRITERIA THAT WILL THEN DRIVE
THE SPENDING PLAN.
WE MARRIED ACTUALLY SOME
LANGUAGE FROM A SLIDE WE WERE
ABLE TO INCORPORATE INTO THIS
PROVISO, THAT I THINK MEETS THE
INTEREST IN PARTICULAR OF
COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN.
>> ITEM 20, COUNSEL BUDGET
ACTION OH -1 -B -1 AS $50,000
IN 2020 OF FUND BALANCE FROM
THE OFFICE OF HOUSING
OPERATING FUND TO SUPPORT
IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY
REFERENCE POLICIES FOR B FUNDED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS IN

NATIVE INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
AGENDA ITEM 22, COUNSEL BUDGET

RESIDENTS IN THE CENTRAL
DISTRICT.
ITEM 23 COUNSEL BUDGET ACTION

>> THANK YOU.
I WOULD SAY THAT I AM NOW IN
THE LEAD CATEGORY OF
PRIORITIES.
SO I MADE THE TRANSITION FROM
HYGIENE PRIORITY TO LEAD
WITHOUT NOTIFYING, BUT CLEARLY
WE ARE IN THAT AREA NOW.
ITEM 30 IS ALSO WITHIN THE AREA
OF LEAD.
THIS WOULD ADOPT A RESOLUTION
THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THE INHERENT
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY TO
REDUCE UNNECESSARY JUSTICE
SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT.
NEXT CATEGORY OF PRIORITIES I

IN THE FINAL ITEM IN THE

ADD $124,000 ONE-TIME FROM THE
GENERAL FUND TO THE MAYORS
OFFICE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
SEXUAL ASSAULT TO CONTRACT WITH

DIVERSION CLASSES.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THIS POINT I WILL TURN IT
OVER TO MY CO-COORDINATOR.
>> THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
I'M JOINED BY THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTION BY
CALVIN, YOUR EXPERT ON
TRANSPORTATION, AS YOU KNOW.
ITEM 41 WOULD ADD $150,000 FROM
THE SCHOOL SAFETY TRAFFIC AND
PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR
AN ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
COORDINATOR AT SEATTLE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS TO SUPPORT WALK TO
SCHOOL AND BIKE TO SCHOOL
PROGRAMS ACROSS THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT AND SUPPORT THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS EFFORTS TO ENSURE THE
CROSSING GUARD POSITIONS ARE
FILLED.
ITEM 42 IS A SLI, REQUESTING
THAT AS TDOT REPORT ON CURRENT
MAINTENANCE SPENDING FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMITTEE
ACCOUNTING AND BUDGET PROCESS
CHANGES TO MEASURE SPENDING

BLOCK PROCEEDS IN THE BICYCLE

TOTALED 10.3 $5 MILLION OF

PROJECTS TO BE SPENT ON BIKE
FACILITIES ON MARTIN LUTHER
KING WAY JUNIOR -- JUNIOR WAY,
I APOLOGIZE, BEACON AVENUE OR
THE GEORGETOWN SOUTH PARK
TRAIL.
ITEM 44, THIS WOULD ESTABLISH A
NEW SDOT CIP PROJECT FOR
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS
AT WEST MARGINAL WAY NEAR THE
CULTURAL CENTER THAT PROVIDES
$100,000 IN T AND C TAX REVENUE
TOWARDS AN ESTIMATED PROJECT
COST OF 3.2 $5 MILLION.
ITEM 45 REQUEST THAT SDOT
PROVIDE A CENTER CITY STREETCAR
CONNECTOR FINANCIAL PLAN,
INCLUDING A NEW BASELINE
PROJECT COST ESTIMATE,
ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE AND A
FUNDING PLAN FOR CAPITOL AND
OPERATING COSTS.
THE FUNDING PLAN SHOULD ALSO
IDENTIFY A CONTINGENT FUNDING
SOURCE IF THE FEDERAL SMALL
STARTS GRANT IS NOT
FORTHCOMING.
>> COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD.
>> I APPRECIATE THIS SLIDE --
THIS SLI COMING FORWARD.
I DID HAVE FOLKS REMEMBER A
FORM B AS RELATES TO THE
FUNDING USE OF THE T AND C TAX,
AND I'M VERY LIKELY GOING TO
BRING THAT BACK IN THE FORM OF
A FORM C FROM THE
TRANSPORTATION ISSUE PAPER THAT
WE HEARD AT THE START OF
BUDGET.
WE KNOW THAT WE WERE
ANTICIPATING 30 $2.9 MILLION OF
VEHICLE LICENSING FEE REVENUE
THROUGH THE SEATTLE
TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT
IN 2020.
OF THOSE FUNDS, 24 MILLION
SUPPORTS TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT
DISTRICT PROGRAMS IS APPROVED
BY THE VOTERS AND 8.3 MILLION
SUPPORTS THE SICK
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS SUCH
AS THE NEIGHBOR TRAFFIC CONTROL
AND POTHOLE PROGRAMS.
WE HAVE A $20 MILLION RESERVE
FUND TO HELP COVER METRO
SERVICE IN 2020 IN ANTICIPATION
OF THE PASSAGE OF 976, BUT EVEN
WITH USING THAT $20 MILLION I
BELIEVE THAT 175,000 HOURS ARE
PROJECTED TO BE CUT IN 2020, AND
THE MEMO WE RECEIVED AS PART OF
THE REGIONAL TRANSIT COMMITTEE
ESTIMATES THAT OUR REDUCTIONS
JUST IN SEATTLE WOULD BE 115 --
150,000 HOURS IN MARCH, 60,000
IN SEPTEMBER, AND AGAIN, THESE
CUTS WILL AFFECT SOME TRIPS ON
NEARLY ALL OF THE 74 ROUTES
RECEIVING SOME FUNDING FROM THE
TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT
DISTRICT.
SO I AM LIKELY TO PROPOSE IN A
FORM C THAT WE USE THE 30 $2.9
MILLION OF TRANSPORTATION
NETWORK TAX DOLLARS TO ADDRESS
THIS SHORTFALL.
I RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS SOME
COMPLEXITY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE
OF THE TIMING AND HOW THOSE
FUNDS ARE ANTICIPATED TO COME
IN VERSUS WHEN WE WOULD NEED
THEM FOR METRO SERVICES, BUT
THAT IS SOMETHING I AM HOPING
WE CAN WORK OUT BETWEEN NOW AND
FRIDAY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> MOVING ONTO ITEM 46.
THIS WOULD ADD $400,000 IN T
AND C TAX REVENUE AND ESTABLISH
A NEW SDOT CIP PROJECT FOR
RECONSTRUCTION OF FORTSON
SQUARE.
ITEM 47 WOULD ADD $400,000 OF
TNC TAX REVENUE FOR THE MARKET
PROJECT FOR PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING
OF FOUR BLOCKS ALONG THE ONE-
POINT FOUR MILE PEDESTRIAN
CORRIDOR FROM PIKE PLACE MARKET
TO SOUTH LAKE UNION.
48 IS ADDING $1.8 MILLION OF
GENERAL FUND AND ESTABLISH A
CIP PROJECT FOR SDOT TO
IMPLEMENT REDESIGN OF THOMAS
STREET.
49 WOULD ADD $150,000 OF TNC
TAX REVENUE TO SDOT FOR A
PUBLICLY STUDY OF CAPITOL HILL.
ITEM 50 IS THE PROPOSED
FLOATING CAR SHARE PERMIT THE
ORDINANCE.
THIS WOULD REDUCE THE PER
ANNUAL PARKING ZONE FEE FROM
$700 A YEAR TO $200 A YEAR.
ITEM 51 WOULD ADD $350,000 OF
TNC TAX REVENUE FOR SDOT TO
IMPLEMENT ADDITIONAL PROJECTS
IDENTIFIED IN THE HOME SIGN
PILOT WHICH PROVIDES TRAFFIC
MEASURES ON CLUSTERS OF
RESIDENTIAL STREETS.
ITEM 52 WOULD ADD $200,000 A
SCHOOL SAFETY TRAFFIC AND
PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT FUNDS TO
CONSTRUCT WALKWAY IMPROVEMENTS
ALONG NORTHWEST 132nd WITHIN
THE BROADVIEW THOMSON K-8
SCHOOL.
53 TRANSFERS THE $3 MILLION OF
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK UP THE
REVENUE FROM FINANCE GENERAL
RESERVES TO FUND THE SDOT
EXPENDITURES DESCRIBED ABOVE
THAT I JUST WENT THROUGH.
54 WOULD CUT $134,150 OF
GENERAL FUND AND $150,000 $850
OF OTHER FUNDS, WHICH IS
úINTERNAL BILLING REVENUE FROM
FAS FOR THE DIRECTOR A CITYWIDE
MOBILITY.
THE MAYOR HAS ADVISED THE
COUNCIL THE WORK CONDUCTED BY
THIS POSITION WOULD BE COMPLETE
BY THE END OF THIS YEAR AND THE
POSITION WILL END.
I WILL MOVE NOW TO THE
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
COMPANIES AND AMY AND KARINA
WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE
COUNCIL BUDGET ACTIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE TNC
LEGISLATION.
>> THANK YOU LISA.
ITEM NUMBER 55 IS ACTION THAT
WOULD SUBSTITUTE VERSION D2 OF
COUNSEL BUILT 119-6864 VERSION
D1 E AND PASS COUNSEL BUILT 119
686.
THE ITEM NUMBER 56 IS
SUBSTITUTING VERSION D2 OF
COUNSEL BUILT 119685 FOUR
VERSION D1 A AND PASS AS

DATA
>> I'M SORRY.
I JUST HAD A QUESTION.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THESE, THEY
SEE MY TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS OR
GRAMMATICAL IN NATURE.
I'M NOT SURE OF THE FINANCIAL
IMPACT OF ANY OF THE STUFF.
ARE THESE JUST TECHNICAL
CORRECTIONS?
>> THERE ARE NO FINANCIAL
IMPACTS RELATED WITH ANY OF
THESE CHANGES, BUT THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE PROPOSED
BY COUNCIL MEMBERS THROUGH THE
FORM B PROCESS, THOSE COUNCIL
BUDGET ACTIONS HAVE BEEN
INCORPORATED INTO THESE
SUBSTITUTE BILLS.
SO I HAVE A TABLE IF YOU WOULD
LIKE THAT OF THE CHANGES THAT
ARE REPRESENTED IN THE
SUBSTITUTE BILLS.
>> THAT WOULD BE GOOD AMY.
>> OKAY.
>> MAKE SURE THE BUDGET CHAIR
IS NOT TO TRYING TO SNEAK A
FREIGHT TRAIN THROUGH THIS
LEGISLATION HERE.
>> THIS IS A DIFFERENT ONE.
>> BEFORE YOU MOVE ON AMY,
LET'S LEAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
TIME FOR COUNCILMEMBER HAROLD
TO LOOK INTO THIS.
>> THANK YOU.
THIS EXPLAINED THAT.
ITEM NUMBER 58 REQUEST FAS AND
TRAN40 REPORT OF THE
FEASIBILITY OF A TRANSPORTATION
ASSISTANCE VOUCHER PROGRAM.
ITEM NUMBER 59 WOULD IMPOSE A
PROVISO ON FINANCE GENERAL
RESERVES RELATED TO A
TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE
VOUCHER PROGRAM.
>> JUST A QUESTION ON THAT
VOUCHER PROGRAM.
IF IN FACT THE DATA COMES BACK
AND THE NEW COUNSEL NEXT YEAR
LOOKS AT THIS AND SAYS WE NEED
MORE MONEY, THIS IS NOT
RESTRICTED BY ANY MEANS?
THEY CAN INCREASE IT AT THAT
POINT.
THAT DEFINE THE MONEY BUT THEY
CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AT THAT
POINT BUT THIS IS IT LIKE A
BINDING --
>> RIGHT.
THE APPROPRIATIONS OF THE
MAJORITY OF TNC TAX REVENUES
WOULD BE MADE NEXT YEAR.
THERE CERTAIN ITEMS IN THE
2020 BUDGET THAT YOU WILL BE
VOTING ON NEXT WEEK THAT DO
INCLUDE SPENDING OF TNC TAX
REVENUES, INCLUDING ONE .5
MILLION TO GO TO FAS AS WELL AS
NOW I THINK APPROXIMATELY 3
MILLION GOING TOWARDS
PARTICULAR TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS.
THE REMAINDER OF THE TNC FUNDS
HAVE YET TO BE APPROPRIATED ,
AND THAT WOULD BE MADE THROUGH
FUTURE COUNSEL DECISIONS.
>> THANKS FOR THAT AMY.
SO I AM CRYSTAL-CLEAR, NEXT
YEAR I STILL WANT COUNSEL
INVOLVED.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> AS OPPOSED TO DEPARTMENT OR
EXECUTIVE UNILATERAL DECISION-
MAKING ON THIS.
SO WHAT WE HAVE BUILT INTO THIS
PACKAGE I AM ASSUMING IS THE
REQUIREMENT THAT THE COUNCIL
WEIGH IN IF IN FACT --
>> YES.
AND THE PROVISO IN PARTICULAR
STATES THAT THAT PROVISO WILL
BE ACTED UPON BY COUNSEL IN THE
FUTURE, THE INTENTION IS TO ACT
AFTER THAT SLA HAS BEEN
RECEIVED.
>> NOT TO DENIGRATE OR CRITICIZE
EITHER DEPARTMENT ON THIS, MY
POINT IS THAT THIS KIND OF
LEGISLATION JUST REQUIRES A LOT
OF PROCESS, A LOT OF
TRANSPARENCY, AFFECTS A LOT OF
STAKEHOLDERS, AND SO, I DON'T
THINK A DEPARTMENT OR EXECUTIVE
CAN DO IT IN A VACUUM.
THAT IS FINE.
>> THE APPROPRIATIONS OF THAT
FUD WILL REQUIRE FUTURE
COUNSEL ACTION.
THE NEXT BUDGET ACTION NUMBER
60, THAT WOULD SUBSTITUTE
RESOLUTION VERSION D3 OF 319144
VERSION D1 D AND ADOPT
RESOLUTION 31914.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE HANDOUT THAT
I JUST GAVE YOU, IT HAS A LONG
LIST OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE
MADE TO THAT RESOLUTION,
INCLUDING ADDING THE
TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE
VOUCHER PROGRAM AS A USE OF
FUNDS, ADDING THIRD-PARTY
FUNDING AS A USE OF FUNDS, AS
WELL AS CHANGING THE AREA
MEDIAN INCOME FOR THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WHICH WAS A
REQUEST FROM COUNCILMEMBER
MOSQEDA.
THE FINAL TNC BUDGET ACTION IS
61 WHICH WOULD SUBSTITUTE
VERSION D4 OF COUNSEL BUILT
19684 FOR VERSION D2 E AND PASS
COUNSEL BUILT 19684.

ITEM 72 ADDS $750,000 IN

DECADES, BUT NOT REALLY VERY
SERIOUSLY.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET SERIOUS.
IT COULD BE A CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT NEW PEDESTRIAN AND
BICYCLE FOCUSED CONNECTION TO
SEATTLE CENTER.
NOW IS THE TIME TO CREATE THIS
CONNECTION AS SEATTLE CENTER
STARTS TO ATTRACT MILLIONS OF
ADDITIONAL VISITORS TO OUR
EXCITING NEW ARENA.
THOMAS STREET IS A
TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR THAT
NEEDS CITYWIDE FINANCIAL
SUPPORT.
THOMAS STREET WILL SERVE
RESIDENTS, WORKERS AND VISITORS
FAR BEYOND JUST DISTRICT 7.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU FOR COMING.
I APPRECIATE IT.
AND THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A
STALWART.
STEVE, BEFORE YOU SPEAK, JANICE
WILSON HAS COME IN.
YOU SIGNED UP FIRST.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK?
>> THANK YOU.
HELLO.
THANK YOU ALL FOR DOING THE
PHENOMENAL JOB TO DO.
I AM REALLY NEW WITH THIS.
SO MUCH I AM LEARNING SUCH A
RAPID AMOUNT, THE IMPORTANCE OF
GOVERNMENT AND OUR
PARTICIPATION IN OUR PRESENCE
FOR OUR OWN FUTURE RELEVANCE.
I HOPE I CAN HELP BETTER.
AS TIME GOES ON.
IN SAYING THAT, I'M GOING TO
PROBABLY DO A LOT MORE WRITING
AND TRYING TO PARTICIPATE AND
UNDERSTAND BY COMING TO THE
COMMITTEE MINUTES.
I JUST FOUND OUT A LOT OF STUFF
I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE.
I REALLY THINK THAT, I'M GOING
TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT PEOPLE
THAT MAYBE WILL HAVE A SPECIAL
TEST, 20 PEOPLE, MEDICATION FOR
ONE OF THEM, 10 OF THEM AND
SUBLIMINAL MEDICATION FOR
ANOTHER GROUP.
I REALLY THINK THAT WE REALLY
NEED TO HAVE NOT MAKE MORE TEST
KITS OUT OF HUMAN BEINGS THAN
JUST GETTING THERE NECESSITIES
MET AND BEING WORK
COMPASSIONATE STANDARD IN THESE
HOMELESS FACILITIES.
AND ALSO ENVIRONMENTS WORK ON
THE VOLATILE AGGRESSIVE
BEHAVIORS IN THE PROGRAMS AS
WELL AS OUTSIDE AND PEOPLES
ATTITUDES.
I WILL EAT OF IT AT THAT.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR EVERY
OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE TELL PEOPLE
THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR LIVES
AS WELL AS HER BUSINESS
PURPOSES ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR
US TO HELP GET HER NEEDS MET,
BUT ALSO PARTICIPATE AS HELPING
MODERNIZE THE INTENTIONS OF NOT
ONLY OURSELVES IN 50 STATES,
BUT ALSO THE GLOBAL WORLD.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU JANICE.
STEVE AND GORDON, THEM BRIAN.
>> IS STILL NOT WORKING AT
LEAST IN THE NORTH AND WHERE WE
ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE
PUTTING THE HOUSING ON-SITE.
I THINK WE SHOULD BE RAISING
THE FEE TO GET CLOSER TO THE 50-
50 GOAL.
I THINK THAT WOULD ALSO HELP
WITH A VERY BIG PROBLEM IN THE
CITY.
YOU DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, AND
THEN OF NOT DONE A WHOLE LOT
ABOUT IMPROVING THE SITUATION.
I THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE ALSO
PASSING A ORDINANCE
CLEARCUTTING ENVIRONMENTALISTS
LIKE WE HAVE AND WASHINGTON
D.C. PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE THE
BEST ENVIRONMENTALISTS IN THE
WORLD AND STILL DON'T DO THE
BASIC STUFF.
THERE IS NO TREE HUGGERS HERE
ON THE SEATTLE SIDDLE COUNCIL
IT APPEARS.
SEATTLE NEEDS TO TAKE A BETTER
LOOK AT NOT SPENDING ALL HER
MONEY ON ENABLING, WE SHOULD BE
MOVING PEOPLE OUT OF
HOMELESSNESS.
HOMELESS THIS IS NOT A GOOD
PLACE TO MAKE PEOPLE
COMFORTABLE.
WE SHOULD BE MOVING TO MOVE
PEOPLE OUT.
AND THAT SHOULD ALSO MEAN
TALKING TO OUR FRIENDS AT THE
STATE LEGISLATURE AND THE
GOVERNOR BECAUSE WE SPEND
SEATTLE RESOURCES IT APPEARS
WEAKENING THE STATE
úENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT,
BUT HOW ABOUT GETTING MORE
MONEY FOR MENTAL HEALTH, MORE
MONEY FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE,
THESE ARE VERY LARGE PARTS OF
THE PROBLEM OF PEOPLE ON THE
STREET.
UNTIL WE START WORKING ON THOSE
THINGS, AND NOT JUST MAKING
PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE, WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE A CONTINUED
PROBLEM.
I ADMIT THE FEDS HAVE GIVEN UP
ON HOUSING, AND THE USED TO BE
A VERY BIG SUPPORT, AND THAT
ONE IS PROBABLY NOT WHEN YOU
SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON BUT YOU
SHOULD AT LEAST BE TALKING TO
YOUR FRIENDS AT THE STATE
LEGISLATURE ABOUT DOING THINGS
THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE SEATTLE
BETTER THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW.
SO HOPEFULLY ALL CHILD
FACILITIES THAT THE CITY
SUPPORTS WILL BE BOTTOM-UP.
THE LOWEST PAID WORKER GETS
FIRST CRACK.
>> THANK YOU STEVE.
AND I WANT TO REASSURE YOU THAT
WE ARE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME
WITH HER COLLEAGUES TALKING TO
THEM IN THE LEGISLATURE.
THE DON'T THINK WE AREN'T.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING COUNCIL
MEMBERS.
LIKE MANY OF YOU I'M STILL
PROCESSING THE ELECTION LAST
NIGHT.
ONE THING IS FOR SURE IS THAT
976 WILL BE A DISASTER FOR BOTH
THE STATE AND OUR CITY.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING
COLLABORATIVELY WITH ALL OF YOU
TO FIND SOLUTIONS, AND I WOULD
URGE US TO DO SO CAUTIOUSLY IN
A WAY THAT CENTERS OUR VALUES
AND PRIORITIES AS A CITY.
IN THAT REGARD, MAINTAINING
THINGS LIKE THE THOMAS STREET
PROJECT IS REALLY CRITICAL, TWO
THIRDS OF EVERY NIGHT OF THE
YEAR OR TWO OUT OF EVERY THREE
NIGHTS OF THE A RATHER THERE
WILL BE A MAJOR EVENT DOWN
THERE, SO MAKE SURE WERE ABLE
TO GET PEOPLE WALKING AND
BIKING IS GOING TO BE REALLY
CRITICAL.
I'M HOPING WE CAN FIND OTHER
SOURCES OF FUNDING FOR
BACKFILLING FROM 976.
THE CHEMISTRY PROJECT IS BEEN
SUCH A FUN ONE TO WORK ON
BECAUSE IT IS BROUGHT TOGETHER
SUCH A WIDE RANGE OF
STAKEHOLDERS FROM JUST RECENTLY
THE SEATTLE CHILDREN'S THEATRE
SIGNED ON IN SUPPORT AND
EXPEDIA.
TO HAVE THIS REALLY WIDE-
RANGING GROUP SUPPORTING THIS
PROJECT BECAUSE EVERYONE IS
SEEING THE VALUE IN IT.
AND THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER
BANK SHOT FOR PROPOSING THE
POSITION.
IF YOU OTHER THINK USE.
THE HOME ZONE PILOT EXTENSION
IS FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU FOR EXTENDING THAT.
THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
COORDINATOR FOR THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT WILL BE SO HELPFUL IN
GETTING KIDS TO SCHOOL.
IT IS REALLY GREAT TO SEE IN
THEIR.
ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO BRING
BIKE FACILITIES IN SOUTHEAST
SEATTLE IS SORELY NEEDED.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT INCREASE.
AND THE LONGHOUSE CONNECTION,
WORKING WITH THE TRIBE TO TRY
TO DO RIGHT BY THEM AND GET
PEOPLE TO THE LONGHOUSE IS
REALLY CRITICAL.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AS WELL.
THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU ARE
DOING.
I HOPE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO
FIND SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THE
DISASTER IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T
FURTHER THE PAIN WE WILL ALL
INCUR.
THANK YOU.
>> BRIAN.
>> COUNCIL MEMBERS, GUESTS,
DEPARTMENT HEADS, IN CASE YOU
GUYS WEREN'T AWARE OF WHO I AM,
THIS IS WHO I AM.
FRONT PAGE.
WHAT I'M HERE FOR TODAY IS
BECAUSE I KIND OF BROWSING
THROUGH THIS, AND THROUGHOUT
THE COURSE OF THIS BUDGET
THING, THERE WASN'T ANYTHING
THAT HAD TO DO A SHELTER REFORM
OR PAYING MARIE PAYING ANY OF
US WHO HAVE BEEN ROBBED,
CHEATED AND THROUGH THIS
FRAUDULENT PROGRAM THAT HAS
BEEN RAN THROUGH THE BLAINE
CENTER.
COMPASS HOUSING ALLIANCE IS
FEELING TERRIBLE.
WHAT I KNOW IS THE CONTRACT
WITH HOUSING ALLIANCE IS
THROUGH THE CITY, THAT MEANS
THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANYTHING THAT TAKES PLACE.
BY CONDONING THIS THEFT AND
FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY AND THE
COVER-UP OF THIS ILLEGAL
PROGRAM WHERE PEOPLE PROFITED
FROM MY MONEY.
I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN REPAID.
NOT A THING.
SO I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW IS, HOW
COME ALL OF THE STUFF IS BEING
SWEPT UNDER THE RUG?
THROUGHOUT THIS BUDGET THING
THERE WAS NOT A WORD MENTIONED
ABOUT ANY OF US GETTING REPAID.
YOU MUST CONDONE IT.
THEFT AND FRAUD IS A VERY
IMPORTANT THING TO A LOT OF US
PEOPLE DOWN THERE BECAUSE WE'RE
TRYING TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT, IN
THIS EXAMPLE THAT IS BEING SET
FORTH IS ONLY MAKING US LOSE
FAITH IN WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE
US.
SO WHAT I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW IS,
ARE WE GOING TO BE WORKING
TOGETHER BECAUSE, AS I KNOW, TO
BE TRUE, MISS MARY STEELE AND
ADRIAN EASTER OF THE CITY ARE
FAILING TERRIBLY AT KEEPING
THIS QUIET AND HANDLED IN AN
INEXPENSIVE WAY.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE KNOWN IS THIS
IS A POWERLESS SITUATION AND
UNCONTROLLABLE TRAGEDY IS WHAT
WE HAVE HERE.
CHARGING PEOPLE, HOMELESS
PEOPLE TO STAY IN THE SHELTERS.
WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE?
THERE HASN'T BEEN NOTHING DONE.
NO TALK, KNOW ANYTHING.
I WENT UPSTAIRS TO THE MAYORS
OFFICE FOUR TIMES AND LEFT
MESSAGES.
NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT
THIS.
I JUST THINK IT'LL GO AWAY.
I'M VERY ADAMANT, RESILIENT AND
SAVAGE AS TO WHERE I WILL GET
THIS MONEY BACK.
I WILL EXPOSE THE FRAUDULENT
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CHURCH
AND THE CITY --
>> THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THIS BRINGS US TO THE
CONCLUSION OF THE SESSION
TODAY.
WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU AGAIN,
COUNSEL CENTRAL STAFF THE
HARDWARE, MY COLLEAGUES FOR
YOUR DEEP INVOLVEMENT AND
ENGAGEMENT IN ALL THIS.
WE ARE GOING TO ADJOURN THIS
