8 PRESENT.
>> AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO
ADOPT THAT REFERRAL COUNTY.
I HAVE AN AMENDMENT.
I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND ITEM
NUMBER TWO.
BILL 119515 BY DELETING THE

ANY OBJECTIONS?
THEY WILL BE SIGNED.
PRESENTATIONS.
I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY THIS
AFTERNOON.
SO WE WILL MOVE TO PUBLIC
COMMENT ON AN ITEM THAT APPEARS
ON TODAY'S ADDENDA.
THE INTRODUCTION AND REFERRAL
CONDYLE OR THE 2019 WORK
PROGRAM.
I WILL CALL YOU OUT IN THE
ORDER IN WHICH YOU SEND IT.
WILL START OFF WITH MR. DAVID
HAYNES FOLLOWED BY TROY
SCHROEDER.
>> AFTERNOON.
THIS IS REGARDING 119509.
IN ORDER TO SOLVE THE LOW
ACUITY PROBLEM, THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT IS FACED WITH, THE
CITY COUNCIL HAVE TO FACE THE
FACT THAT INDEED THEIR POLICIES
HAVE IMPLODED SOCIETY DESPITE
THE DEMANDS OF CITY COUNCIL TO
SILENT POLICE ABOUT THEIR HANDS
BEING TIED, THE CITY COUNCIL
HAS BEEN A SUPPORTER OF
POLICIES THAT LITERALLY EXEMPT
THE LOW-LEVEL DRUG PUSHERS WHO
ARE LOW DOLLAR AMOUNTS FROM
JAIL.
THIS LITERALLY HAS RESULTED IN
TOPS REFUSING TO GO AFTER THE
DRUG PUSHERS, RESULTING IN AN
IMPLOSION.
ALL BECAUSE CITY COUNCIL SIGNED
OFF ON A SABOTAGE POLICE
REFORM.
THEY WILLINGLY DECEIVE ABOUT
THIS.
COUPLE THE FACT THAT LOW-LEVEL
DRUG PUSHERS ARE EXEMPTED JAIL
AND IMPORTATION, WITH MOST
LIQUOR THAT SHOULD BE INHIBITED
FOR BEING AN ARTIFICIALLY FAKE
BEER, WHOSE TAXES LITERALLY PAY
COPS OVERTIME HAS RESULTED IN
AN OPEN CONTAINER POLICY LIKE
THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN.
WITH THE ADDED CONVENIENCE FOR
CRIMINALS TO SELL 3 G OF CRACK,
METH, AND HEROIN TO THOSE
SATURATED IN MALT LIQUOR
BECAUSE COPS WOULD RATHER DO
HOMELESS SWEEPS OR WORK
OVERTIME AT SPORTS GAMES.
OR WORSE, MOONLIGHT FOR PRIVATE
FINANCED OVERTIME PROTECTING
BARS AND CRACK OPERATIONS TAKE
OVER THE CATHOLIC SERVICES DUE
TO THE COPS REFUSAL TO ADDRESS
REAL CRIME.
ONLY FOCUSING ON REVENUE
GENERATING AND OUT OF SIGHT,
OUT OF MIND PERCEPTIONS OF A
RICH AND SUCCESSFUL CITY.
THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD TAKE A
SOBER LOOK AT THEIR POLICIES OF
APPEASEMENT TO CERTAIN LYRICAL
ACTIVISTS AND LOBBYISTS WHO
BENEFIT FROM ADDICTS ISSUE
DILAPIDATED REAL ESTATE OFF THE
DEMISE OF SOCIETY.
IMPOSING THE COUNCIL IS
ALLOWING THEM TO GET AWAY WITH
THE RACIST AGENDA.
THEY HAVE TO HOLD THEM
ACCOUNTABLE.
>> THANK YOU, MR. HAYNES.
THE NEXT ACRES WILL BE TROY
SCHROEDER FOLLOWED BY
CHRISTOPHER KING.
>> MY NAME IS TROY.
I AM HERE TODAY AS A VOLUNTEER
FOR UNITED UNIFIED SEATTLE AND
I MAKING THIS STATEMENT TODAY
BECAUSE IN NO WAY IS ENABLING
AN ADDICT TO FEED THEIR
ADDICTION BY PROVIDING THEM
WITH NEEDLES OR SHELVING
SOMEONE IN A SHACK WITHOUT ANY
OPPORTUNITY FOR SOBRIETY OR
STABILITY A WAY FOR ANYONE TO
OVERCOME ALMOST AS OR
ADDICTION.
COMPASSION IS NOT MAKING
SOMEONE MOVE FROM TEMPORARY
HOMES TO TEMPORARY HOMES.
WITH NO ROUTE TO PERMANENT
HOUSING.
SHELVING PEOPLE IN JAX WITHOUT
ANY FORM OF TREATMENT OR
REHABILITATION IS NOT SHARING
OUR HUMANITY, COMPASSION AND IS
HELPING HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS
GET BACK ON THE RIGHT PATH.
WITH AIR NO LONGER SAYING HELLO
TO YOU FROM THE PAVEMENT.
BUT FROM A PLACE AS THEY CAN
CALL THEIR OWN HOME.
PUTTING SOMEONE IN A SHACK
WITHOUT ANY SORT OF STRUCTURE
THAT ENCOURAGES TRANSITION INTO
PERMANENT HOUSING IS NOT GOING
TO IMPROVE ANYONE'S HOMELESS
SITUATION.
ENCAMPMENTS OR ANY HOMELESS
PROGRAM THAT IS BEING OBJECTIVE
IS NOT TRANSLATING HOMELESS
INDIVIDUALS INTO PERMANENT
HOUSING.
IT IS A FAILURE FROM THE START.
THE LAKE UNION ENCAMPMNT IN
SOUTH LAKE UNION IS AN EXAMPLE
OF THAT TYPE OF FAILURE.
THE ENCAMPMENT IS SET UP IN THE
SAME STRUCTURE OF ITS NOW
CLOSED PROCEDURE.
LEPTIN SPRINGS WHICH IS ALREADY
CRUMBLED TO ITS INEVITABLE
FAILURE, THE LAKE UNION
ENCAMPMENT WILL BE SOON TO
FOLLOW LEAVING ITS RESIDENTS
ONCE AGAIN WITHOUT ANY AVENUE
OUT OF THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF
HOMELESSNESS.
WE NEED REAL SOLUTIONS, NOT
SHACKS.
>>> THANK YOU, SIR.
FOLLOWING CHRISTOPHER KING WILL
BE MARGUERITE.
>> THANK YOU.
I REMEMBER THE DAY THAT I
TRUSTED THE PRESS IN THIS TIME.
I TRUSTED YOU GUYS.
>> MR. KING.
WE WILL START YOUR TIME OVER.
CAN YOU TALK TO ONE OF THE
MICROPHONES.
>> PLEASE THE COUNCIL.
I REMEMBER THE DAY THAT I
TRUSTED THE PRESS IN THIS TOWN
AND I TRUSTED YOU GUYS ON CRIME
AND HOMELESSNESS AND HELPING
SEATTLE HOMEOWNERS.
THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY AGAINST HOMEOWNERS.
I MADE VIDEOS FOR FREE.
I MADE A VIDEO WITH MIKE
O'BRIEN AND THE GUY WHO GOT HIS
EAR BITTEN OFF AT THE PARK.
I THOUGHT IT WAS PHENOMENALLY.
IT IS NOT.
SOME OF YOU AND OTHER
CANDIDATES ATTENDED A FORUM
ABOUT HELPING HOMEOWNERS ON
MORTGAGES BECAUSE I WAS A
CLOSING ATTORNEY.
I RAN A TITLE COMPANY AT
MICHELLE IS ONE HECK OF A
PARALEGAL.
WE WORKED ON HOMEOWNER
MEDIATIONS TOGETHER.
I THOUGHT YOU GUYS CARED.
THEN THERE WAS ANN MURRAY.
BUT LET'S MOVE ALONG.
AT SOMETHING, YOU IGNORED YOUR
OWN PAID CONSULTANT ABOUT
REGISTRATION SERVICES AND TIM
BURGESS, THE SLIMIEST
POLITICIAN I HAVE EVER MET,
SHUT HER DOWN.
EVEN THE COUNTIES IN OREGON
HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SUED.
I LEAK THE AUDIT WHEN YOU SLOW
TO PRODUCE IT.
I SUCCESSFULLY SUED YOU TO GET
THE DOCUMENTS AS TO WHY YOU
DIDN'T SEE THEM IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
ALL I GOT WAS A BUNCH OF
REDUCTIONS.
OKAY?
AND THE HOMELESS PROBLEM
CONTINUES UNABATED WITH
HOMELESS FOLKS BEING SHUFFLED
AROUND TOWN, BACK AND FORTH TO
THE SAME SPOTS THEY OCCUPIED
LAST MONTH.
THEY ARE EITHER BEING ABUSED,
SEXUALLY SOME OF THEM, USED FOR
MONEY OR COMMITTING CRIMES
THEMSELVES.
REMEMBER THE VOLKSWAGEN RAPE?
SHE IS A FRIEND OF MINE.
AND YOU HAVE NO CLUE OR ANY
PLAN WHAT TO DO WHATSOEVER.
EVERYWHERE WE GO, WE ARE UNDER
SIEGE IN THIS TOWN.
YOU'RE COMPLETELY FECKLESS IN
THIS ENDEAVOR.
CHRIS KING'S FIRST AMENDMENT
PAGE, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN
FIND ME.
YOU WILL NOT SEE ME THROUGH
TRADITIONAL PRESS BECAUSE THEY
WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES.
>> THIS IS WHAT IT IS THAT.
THE CITY COUNCIL.
SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL.
WHATEVER YOU DOING THE HOMELESS
SITUATION IS NOT WORKING.
>> THANK YOU, MR. KING.
>>> MARGUERITE BROUSSARD?
>> YES.
GOOD DAY, EVERYONE.
I AM HERE BECAUSE I AM A PERSON
THAT WAS BORN AND RAISED IN
SEATTLE.
I FEEL LIKE MY RIGHTS ARE BEING
VIOLATED.
AND I THINK ANYBODY THAT IS
FAMILIAR WITH JIM CROW AND THE
THINGS THAT HAPPENED DURING JIM
CROW SHOULD HAVE A CLEAR
UNDERSTANDING THAT JIM CROW IN
THIS COMMUNITY, IS STILL
LINGERING.
I AM INSULTED WHEN I COME DOWN
HERE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE YOU
ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO DEVELOP
AN INFERIOR, AND INFERIORITY
COMPLEX.
I AM NOT INFERIOR. LIKE I SAID,
WHEN YOUR TIME IS UP, YOU'RE
GOING RIGHT BACK OUT TO THE
COMMUNITY BEFORE YOU CAME DOWN
HERE.
SO THAT IS WHY, YOU DON'T MEAN
ANYTHING TO ME.
OKAY?
BECAUSE ALL IT IS IS A TITLE.
BUT IT IS NOT A TITLE TO
INFRINGE ON MY HUMAN RIGHTS AND
MY CIVIL RIGHTS.
YOU DON'T HAVE IT RIGHT.
SO WE ARE STILL WAY BACK 10
YEARS, MAYBE 400 YEARS OR MORE
ABOUT THE DESTITUTE THAT
HAPPENED BECAUSE PEOPLE SUCH AS
YOURSELVES DID NOT LISTEN TO
THE PLIGHT OF TODAY AND WHAT
WAS HAPPENING TO HUMANITY THEN.
SO WE SPEEDED IT UP INTO 2000
AND.
YOUR FLIPPING THE SCRIPT AND
THROWING PEOPLE OUT BECAUSE YOU
WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU WANT TO
HEAR.
BUT PEOPLE ARE JUST PEOPLE.
AND THEY ARE GOING TO SPEAK
ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY FEEL IS
IN THEIR HEART.
SO THIS STUFF THAT IS GOING ON
UP IN HERE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT.
AND I HAVE BEEN BEGGING YOU AND
PLEADING WITH YOU TO HELP ME TO
UNDERSTAND IT.
OKAY?
BECAUSE WE DID HAVE A SHOOTING
OVER THERE.
AND I THINK, I AM GOING TO TALK
ABOUT THE CENTER DISTRICT.
BUT I WILL PUT IT ON
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT'S MIND
SINCE MY TIME IS UP.
>>> OUR LAST SPEAKER IS THE
HONORABLE MICHAEL FULLER.
>> I AM THE HONORABLE MICHAEL
FULLER.
I AM DEVASTATED WITH THIS
DENYING YELL.
I TRIED TO DECREASE
HOMELESSNESS.
BUT WHAT DID YOU DO?
YOU TURNED AROUND AND INCREASED
HOMELESSNESS.
AND NOW I AM LOOKING AT ALL
THESE SHOOTINGS THAT ARE
HAPPENING.
BUT YOU HAD THE AUDACITY AND
THE GUMPTION TO PAY UNDER
AUTHOR'S AND UNDOCUMENTED
ALIENS IN THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON AND SEATTLE.
NO SANCTUARY FOR CRIMINAL ACTS.
ENFORCEMENT OF SANCTUARY CITY
LAWS.
VIOLATION OF [INDISCERNIBLE]
MALICIOUS HARASSMENT.
AND ACTIVITIES WITH PUBLIC
DUTY.
AND FREEDOM FROM
DISCRIMINATION.
ORGANIZED CRIME CONTROL.
THAT WAS SIGNED BY RICHARD
NIXON.
COMMUNIST CONTROL.
THAT WAS SIGNED BY PRESIDENT
DWIGHT EISENHOWER.
WHITE CITIZENS WOULD DRIVE
BLACK CITIZENS OUT OF THEIR
IMMUNITIES.
ON 23rd AND UNION.
CHINATOWN NEEDED A CHANCE
DURING A TIME OF WAR.
>> THANK YOU, SIR.
>> THANK YOU, HONORABLE.
>> THANK YOU.
YOUR TIME HAS RUN OUT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
SIR.
THAT WILL AND OUR PUBLIC
COMMENTS SECTION.
WE WILL NOW MOVE TO THE PAYMENT
OF THE BILLS SECTION.
PLEASE READ THE TITLE.
>> COUNTABLE 119 514.
>>> I WILL MOVE TO PAST 11514.
ANY FOR THE COMMENTS?
IF NOT, PLEASE CALL THE ROLE ON
THE PASSAGE OF THE BILL.
>> GONZALEZ?
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD?
COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN?
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT?
? PRESIDENT HARRELL?
>> EIGHT IN FAVOR AND NONE
OPPOSED.
>> PLEASE READ THE FIRST AGENDA
ITEM.
>>> THAT GENDER EQUITY, SAY
COMMUNITIES, NEW AMERICANS AND
EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
CONSUL BILL 19509.
AND ORDINANCE RELATING TO A
MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTH PILOT.
RUNNING ORDINANCE WANT TO 574
IT ADOPTED THE 2019 BUDGET,
CHANGING APPROPRIATIONS TO
VARIOUS THE PART THE BUDGET
CONTROL LEVELS.
LIFTING A PERV IS OH AND
RATIFYING AND AFFIRMING CERTAIN
PRIOR ACTS.
>> I WILL GO AHEAD AND THE BILL
THE COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER
TODAY.
I WILL HAND IT OVER TO
COUNCILMEMBER BAGSHAW WHO IS
THE PRIME SPONSOR OF THIS
EFFORT.
COUNSEL BILL 119509 AMENDS THE
ADOPTED BUDGET BY LIFTING A
PROVISO ON $475,000 HELD IN
FINANCE GENERAL AND APPROPRIATE
IN THIS FUNDS TO THE SEATTLE
FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR THE PURPOSE
OF THE MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTH
UNIT PILOT PROGRAM.
THEY WERE HELD IN FINANCE
GENERAL RESERVE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH 13-40-3. THIS GREEN SHEET
WAS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBER
BAGSHAW WHO HAS BEEN ADVOCATING
FOR THE PILOTING OF THIS
PROGRAM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND
FOR THAT EMMA WE REALLY WANT TO
THANK HER.
COUNCILMEMBER BAGSHAW DIRECTED
THE EXECUTIVES TO DIRECT AND
REPORT BACK ON THE
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THIS
PROPOSED PILOT PROGRAM.
AND LAST WEEK ON MAY 8, MY
BUDDY RECEIVED A BRIEFING ON
THE PROPOSED PLAN.
THIS COUNSEL BILL ALLOWS FOR
THE SEATTLE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO
OPERATIONALIZE THE MOBILE
INTEGRATED HEALTH UNIT BY THE
THIRD QUARTER OF THIS YEAR,
2010.
THE UNIT WILL BE COMPRISED OF
TWO FIREFIGHTER EMTS AND ONE
SOCIAL WORKER OR MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONAL.
THE UNIT WILL OPERATE MERRILY
IN THE URBAN CORE AND IS
INTENED TO REDUCE THE LOW
ACUITY CALL VOLUME AND FOR
PRESERVE 911 SERVICES WHILE
BETTER MEETING THE NEEDS OF 911
CALLERS.
THE EXECUTIVE AND THE SEATTLE
FIRE DEPARTMENT STUDIED SIMILAR
MODELS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS,
BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY.
AND CORONATION WITH THE SEATTLE
PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY FOR THIS
PROGRAM.
THE BILL WAS AMENDED IN MY
COMMITTEE TO ADD ADDITIONAL
LAYERS TO DATA COLLECTION AND
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
THE BASE BILL CAME ALREADY WITH
REQUIREMENTS AROUND DATA
COLLECTION, EVALUATION AND
REPORTING.
I ADVANCED THROUGH COMMITTEE A
PARTICULAR AMENDMENT THAT WOULD
ENSURE THAT THE SEATTLE FIRE
DEPARTMENT AS PART OF THE
OVERALL EVALUATION, THEY WOULD
DEVELOP, EVALUATE ADDITIONAL
MEASURES THAT MIGHT HELP THE
CITY DETERMINE IF THE PILOT
PROGRAM AS WE TAKE IT TO SCALE
SHOULD BE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE,
NOT SUPPLANT FIREFIGHTERS AND
EMTS OR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS.
AND TO ADD TO THOSE SERVICES BY
INCLUDING A REGISTERED NURSE,
NURSE PRACTITIONER OR
PHYSICIAN'S ASSISTANT WHO COULD
PROVIDE ON-SITE IMMEDIATE CARE
IN THE EVENT THAT IT IS NEEDED.
THESE MEASURES WOULD EVALUATE
WHETHER A PATIENT COULD BENEFIT
FROM CARE AND TREATMENT,
INCLUDING SUTURING OF MINOR
WOUNDS.
PRESCRIBING OF PAIN RELIEF
MEDICATION AND ON-SITE
PSYCHOSOCIAL ASSESSMENTS.
THIS INFIELD TREATMENT MODEL
EXISTS IN LA AS WELL AS IN
WASHINGTON.
AS WELL AS OUR CENTRAL STAFF
HAS COMMUNICATED REGARDING THE
OPERATIONS, WHICH IS WHY I
ADVANCED THE WAIT AND SEE
STUDY, TO SEE HOW AND IF THE
PILOT PROGRAM COULD BE MODIFIED
IN THE FUTURE, NOT BY REPLACING
THE FIREFIGHTER EMTS THAT THE
ONES WHO WILL BE ON THE UNIT.
AND TO ADD TO THE SERVICES THAT
THOSE INDIVIDUALS MIGHT BE
PROVIDING.
AND I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO
HAVE THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPT HOUSE ABOUT 119509 AS
AMENDED.
>>, THREE?
>> I APPRECIATE THAT,
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ.
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD, I
APPRECIATE YOUR WRITEUP . I SAW
AN EMAIL YOU HAD SENT.
I REALLY WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
CHIEF SCOGGINS AND JOHN
EHRENFELD FROM THE DOWNTOWN
LOCAL OFFICES OF OUR SEATTLE
FIRE DEPARTMENT AND RECOGNIZE
WHAT THE MAYOR HAS DONE AS
WELL.
PULLING TOGETHER NOT ONLY THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT BUT POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
OUR HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT
AND ALSO WORKING CLOSELY WITH
PUBLIC HEALTH AND OF COURSE FOR
THE BUDGET OFFICE TO MAKE SURE
WE STAY WITHIN BUDGET.
BUT THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT
STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
AS COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ HAS
STATED.
WE REACHED OTHER CITIES.
NOT JUST LA BUT MESA, ARIZONA.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO TO
LEARN.
WE KNOW THAT THE KINDS OF
COMPLAINTS THAT OUR
FIREFIGHTERS ROUTINELY RESPOND
TO ARE NOT THE HIGH ACUITY ONES
FOR WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN
TRAINED, SUCH AS A FIRE OR
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT OR THE KINDS
OF THINGS WHERE IT REQUIRES
FAST ACTION AND QUICK DECISION-
MAKING.
ANY OF THE COMPLAINTS, IN FACT
I BELIEVE THE FIRE CHIEF HAD
SAID, A GOOD 40% OF THE
RESPONSES THAT THEY'RE SENT OUT
TO WITH LADDER TRUCKS,
SOMETIMES TO LADDER TRUCKS PLUS
AN AMBULANCE AND PLUS POLICE
OFFICERS ARE REALLY FOR PEOPLE
WHO HAVE PERHAPS MINOR INJURY
OR ILLNESS.
IT IS MORE OF A SOCIAL ISSUE.
THEIR FEELING COLD OR LONELY.
THEIR FEELING ABANDONED.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE SUPPORT
AROUND THEM THEY NEED.
THEY CERTAINLY DON'T NEED 12
PEOPLE RESPONDING TO A 911
CALL.
SO THIS PILOT PROPOSAL, WE
STARTED OFF CALLING IT A MOBILE
INTEGRATED HEALTH UNIT.
NOW WE ARE CALLING IT HEALTH
ONE.
I LOVE THAT TITLE BECAUSE IT IS
SOMETHING WE CAN ALL REMEMBER.
IT DOES BUILD ON NATIONAL AND
REGIONAL EXAMPLES.
BUT IT IS ALSO CAPITALIZING ON
OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS CORE
STRENGTHS.
HAVING IMMEDIATE RESPONSE COME
A FLEXIBLE DECISION-MAKING,
THEY WILL BE ADAPTABLE ON SITE.
IT IS REALLY PROVIDING IMPROVED
PATIENT EXPERIENCE FOR THOSE ON
OUR SIDEWALKS.
BUT IT ALSO WILL PROVIDE SOME
SUPPORT FOR OUR FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO
RESPOND WITH EIGHT PEOPLE.
AND CERTAINLY THE TAXPAYERS
WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE
THEIR MONEY USED WIDELY AS
WELL.
I THINK THIS IS A TRIPLE WIN.
I AM VERY PLEASED WE HAVE
GOTTEN THERE.
I AM GLAD WE HAD $475,000
REPORT OF THE BUDGET LESTER.
BUT ALSO WE ARE COORDINATING
WITH ALLIE FRANKLIN IN OUR
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS IN
NORTHGATE AND I ALSO WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE SUE McLAUGHLIN AND
THE WORK THAT HER GROUP IS
DOING AROUND HEALTHIER HERE.
ALL OF THIS CONNECTS.
I AM VERY THANKFUL AND
APPRECIATIVE OF THE AMENDED
LANGUAGE GOING FORWARD.
>> THANK YOU.
>> COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ?
>> THANK YOU PRESIDENT AND
THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER
BAGSHAW.
FOR THE GRANULE DETAIL.
I FAILED TO MENTION ONE SMALL
THING, WHICH IS THAT THE
PROVISO IS ON $475,000 IN THE
BUDGET.
WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE
EXECUTIVE BOTH IN COMMITTEE AND
IN MEDIA REPORTS THAT THE TOTAL
COST OF THIS INITIAL PILOT
PROJECT IS $500,000.
AGAIN, ONLY 475,000 IS SUBJECT
TO A PROVISO IN COMMITTEE.
CHIEF SCOGGINS MENTIONED TO US
THAT THE DELTA OF $25,000 IS
COMING FROM A SURPLUS IN THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THERE WILL NOT BE A GAP.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
COUNSEL NUMBERS UNDERSTOOD THAT
THERE IS A DISPARITY IN TERMS
OF THE 475 VERSUS THE $500,000
COST THAT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED BY
THE EXECUTIVE.
BUT IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING
THAT THAT $25,000 DIFFERENCE
WILL BE ACHIEVABLE FOR THE
DEPARTMENT WITHOUT A HUGE
INCONVENIENCE TO THEM OR THE
GENERAL FUND.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> I JUST WANT TO PUT THE SIN
AND EVEN BROADER CONTEXT.
OF RESOURCES FOR THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT GENERALLY.
THE NEED TO RESPOND TO
EMERGENCY CALLS IS A BIG DRIVER
OF THEIR BUDGET.
AND HISTORICALLY, BEST
PRACTICES WERE THAT WHEN
RESPONSES TO INDIVIDUALS
REPLACED 3500 PER YEAR, IT
WOULD LOOK AT ADDING ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES WHERE IS WHAT WE ARE
SAYING NOW IS THAT INDIVIDUAL
UNITS HAVE FOUR, FIVE, SIX,
SEVEN, 7000 IN WILL RESPONSES
FOR INDIVIDUAL UNITS.
THIS AGAIN, THIS EFFORT IS
WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF TRYING TO
ADDRESS THAT LARGE VOLUME OF
EMERGENCY RESPONSES THAT THEY
ARE DEALING WITH.
>> VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS.
I THINK WE ARE READY TO
PROCEED.
OKAY.
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE
PASSAGE OF THE BILL.
>> COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ?
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD?
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ?
COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN?
PROJECTILE?
THREE?
PRESIDENT HARRELL?
EIGHT IN FAVOR NOT OPPOSED.
>> PLEASE READ THE NEXT AGENDA
ITEM.
119496, AUTHORIZING THE
DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND
RECREATION TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT WITH THE SEATTLE
ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES TO
RENOVATE THE SOUTH PARK
COMMUNITY CENTER SITE AND
DEVELOP AN ONGOING RELATIONSHIP
IN SOUTH PARK COMMUNITY
CONSISTENT WITH THE TERMS OF
AGREEMENT IN ATTACHMENT
WONDERS.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT
THE BILL PASSED.
>> COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD, WOULD
YOU LIKE TO AMEND IT FIRST?
>> THANKS FOR THE PROMPT . I
WOULD.
I WOULD AMEND COUNCIL BILL 1194
96 BY SUBSTITUTING VERSION 2
FOR VERSION 1 OF THE BILL.
AND SUBSTITUTING VIRGIN 34
VERSION 2 OF THE ATTACHMENT
WONDERS.
>> EXPLAINED TO US THE
AMENDMENTS.
>> SO THE PROPOSED SUBSTITUTE
VERSION 2 AS IT RELATES
SPECIFICALLY TO THE BILL ADDS
THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE TO PAGE
2, LINE 12-13.
STATING THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
PARKS AND REC SHALL SUBMIT THE
FINAL DRAFT AGREEMENT FOR
REVIEW TO THE CITY COUNCIL
CIVIC DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC ASSETS
AND NATIVE COMMUNITY.
THE GOAL IS TO BREAK WITH AN
OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE FINAL
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARKS AND
THE SEATTLE ARTS AND SCIENCES
ACADEMY.
AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT
THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO
ESTABLISH THIS PARTNERSHIP BUT
THE AMENDMENT PROVIDES AN
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR
COUNSEL TO UNDERSTAND THE TERMS
OF THE AGREEMENT BEFORE THEY
ARE SIGNED.
THE SECOND ELEMENT OF THE
SUBSTITUTE RELATES SPECIFICALLY
TO THE TERMS OF AGREEMENT AS IT
RELATES TO THE FIELD
PROGRAMMING SECTION.
AND IT PROVIDES GREATER CLARITY
BY NOTING THAT DROP IN TIME IS
AVAILABLE FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS
GENERALLY AND PROGRAMMING FOR
SOUTH PARK BUT EXPLICITLY
NOTING THAT THE PROCESS SHOULD
BE DEVELOPED FOR FIELD
SCHEDULING AT THE SOUTH PARK
COMMITTEE CENTER THAT
PRIORITIZES SOUTH PARK MIDI
MEMBERS.
GENERALLY, CITYWIDE, IT IS
AVAILABLE FOR DROP IN TIMES
THAT DO NOT NEED TO BE
RESERVED.
BUT WE ALSO WANT TO LIFT UP THE
ABILITY OF SOUTH PARK RESIDENTS
TO RESERVE THE FIELD TO TAKE
PRIORITY OVER THE GENERAL
COMMUNITY CITYWIDE.
>> REQUESTING THIS RARITY IS
DESIGNED BETWEEN THE ACADEMY
AND SPRING SPORTS SCHEDULING SO
IT BENEFITS THOSE PROVIDED IN
THE AGREEMENT.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD.
BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, DID YOU
HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE
AMENDMENT?
>> I DO NOT.
>> WE ARE GOOD?
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>>> A QUICK QUESTION.
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD, YOU TEST
ON THIS.
IN COMMITTEE LAST WEEK, I AM
NOT SURE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT
THE ORGANIZATIONS COMING BACK
AND APPROVING THE ADDITIONAL 25-
50 HOURS OF AND SO ON.
DID WE HAVE EVERYONE SIGN OFF?
>> YES.
WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER ON
THIS.
I DISCOVERED THE ITEMS THAT I
HAD LIFTED FORWARD.
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ CAN TALK
ABOUT THE OTHERS.
>> THANK YOU.
SO A FEW THINGS THAT I LIFTED
UP IN COMMITTEE, GOSH, WAS THAT
LAST WEEK ALREADY?
>> THEY WERE A COUPLE OF
POINTS.
ONE WAS AROUND GETTING CLARITY
AROUND WHEN THE SAS WOULD HAVE
PRIORITY ON SCHEDULING ON THE
FIELD.
I APPRECIATE HAVING AN
OPPORTUNITY TO WORK THROUGH THE
PARKS DEPARTMENT WITH SAS AND
THANKS TO TRACY RADCLIFFE ON
SHEPHERDING THIS THROUGH.
WE WERE ABLE TO ACHIEVE SOME
CLARIFICATION ON PRECISELY
WHEN, BETWEEN AUGUST AND
NOVEMBER AND AGAIN BETWEEN
MARCH AND THE REST OF MAY, WE
WOULD ACTUALLY SEE IT
PRIORITIZED FOR SAS.
THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE ONLY SAID
FALL AND SPRING.
NOW WE HAVE DEFINED DATES BY
AGREEMENTS WITH SASS THAT THE
ATTENDED PRIORITIZATION OF THE
FIELD WOULD BE THE LAST WEEK OF
AUGUST TO THE SECOND WEEK OF
NOVEMBER.
OTHERWISE, KNOWN AS FALL.
THE FIRST OF MARCH THROUGH MAY
WITH SPRING.
THAT WAS ONE POINT.
THE SECOND POINT IS THAT WE
ALSO REQUESTED THAT THE
DEPARTMENT PARKS AND RECREATION
PROVIDE US AN ANNUAL REPORT ON
THE USE OF THE NEW FIELD BY THE
COMMUNITY AND BY SAS FOR THE
FIRST TWO YEARS AFTER
COMPLETION OF THE FIELD SO THAT
WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND AS
POLICYMAKERS THE DEMAND FOR THE
FIELD AND WHERE THE BAND IS
COMING FROM.
THE SECOND AND THIRD COMPONENT
THAT WE WERE ABLE TO RECEIVE
CLARITY ON WITH THE NUMBER OF
HOURS THAT WOULD BE COMMITTED
TO PROGRAMMING AT THE SOUTH
PARK COMMUNITY CENTER OR
WORKING WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS OR
LOCAL NONPROFITS, PROVIDED BY
SASS.
I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR
WANTING TO CONTRIBUTE BACK INTO
THE COMMUNITY IN THIS MANNER.
ORIGINALLY THEY HAD PROPOSED A
MINIMUM OF 25 HOURS.
I RECEIVED CORRESPONDENCE FROM
FOLKS AT SAS FROM THEN SAYING
THAT THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY A
MINIMUM.
THEY HOPES TO BE ABLE TO
ACCOMPLISH MORE AND GIVE MORE
HOURS.
I PROPOSED 50 HOUR AND A MOMS
RATHER THAN A 25 HOUR MINIMUM.
IN THE SPIRIT OF THEIR VERBAL
COMMITMENT THAT THEY ACTUALLY
WANTED TO DO MORE THAN 25 HOURS.
THEY VERY QUICKLY AND
GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO A 50 HOUR
MINIMUM.
THAT IS A CONSENSUS PROPOSAL
THERE ON THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF
HOURS.
I ALSO ASKED THEM TO INCLUDE A
LITTLE BIT MORE TEXTURE AS TO
WHAT PROGRAMMING THEY WERE
REFERRING TO SINCE THE LANGUAGE
IS BROAD AND THAT IS WHY WE SEE
LANGUAGE THAT SPECIFICALLY
LISTS IT DOES NOT LIMIT THINGS
LIKE SOCCER CAMPS, AFTERSCHOOL
STUDENTS, TUTORING, MENTORSHIP
AND ARTS PROGRAMS.
IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT SAS
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
SOUTH PARK COMMUNITY TO
IDENTIFY WHAT KIND OF
PROGRAMMING THEY ACTUALLY WANT
TO SEE IN THE COMMUNITY AS PART
AND PARCEL OF WHAT FLOWS FROM
THIS AGREEMENT AROUND THE
ATHLETIC FIELD.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION,
THIS HAS ALL BEEN AGREED TO AND
I REALLY WANT TO THANK THE
FOLKS AT SAS DPR FOR THEIR
ONGOING PARTNERSHIP AND
COOPERATION WITH ME IN
ADDRESSING SOME OF THE CONCERNS
I RAISED IN COMMITTEE LAST
WEEK.
>>> SO WE WILL VOTE ON JUST THE
AMENDMENT, WHICH WAS BASICALLY
A SUBSTITUTION OF VERSION 2
FOUR VERSION 1. AND SWITCHING
VERSION 34 VERSION 2. ALL THOSE
IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT
PLEASE VOTE AYE.
OPPOSED?
THE BILL IS AMENDED.
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ WOULD YOU
LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE AMENDED
BILL?
>> YES.
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A LITTLE ,
PUT THIS INTO CONTEXT FOR THE
VIEWING PUBLIC EVEN THOUGH WE
ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH DISTRICT
1 WITH SEATTLE.
SOUTH PARK IS A NEIGHBORHOOD IN
SEATTLE THAT IS SALES DISTRICT
NUMBER ONE SOUTH OF GEORGETOWN.
NORTH OF TUKWILA.
IT IS HOME TO THE SOUTH PARK
COMMUNITY CENTER, WHICH SERVES
MANY FAMILIES AND YOUTH SPORTS
FROM NEIGHBORING PARTS OF
SEATTLE.
INCLUDING THE SEATTLE ACADEMY
OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.
A SCHOOL WITH 712 GRADE
STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN
ATHLETIC SPORTS.
HOWEVER, THE SOUTH PARK
COMMITTEE HAS THE HIGHEST YOUTH
POPULATION OF ANY SEATTLE
NEIGHBORHOOD YET IT'S RESIDENTS
HAVE 1/10 OF THE GREEN SPACE
AVAILABLE.
CONCEPT DESIGN WAS FINALLY
FINALIZED TO INSTALL AND
RELOCATE A PLAY AREA AND OTHER
AMENITIES INCLUDING LANDSCAPING
TO MITIGATE NEGATIVE HEALTH
IMPACTS FROM STATE ROUTE 99,
WHICH RUNS NEXT TO THE PARK
AREA.
THIS DESIGN IS PROJECTED TO BE
NINE POINT $1 MILLION.
THE $9.8 MILLION IS A
COMBINATION OF 4 FUNDING
SOURCES.
THE MAJORITY COMING FROM THE
SEATTLE ACADEMY OF ARTS AND
SCIENCES.
AND INCLUDES $1.2 MILLION FROM
THE STATE.
$2.8 MILLION IN PART DISTRICT
FUNDING.
$1.8 MILLION AND THEN THE $4
MILLION FROM THE SEATTLE
ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.
THIS WOULD ALLOW THEM TO ENTER
INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR THE TERM
SHEET AS LISTED IN ATTACHMENT
ONE.
ENABLING THE ACADEMY TO BEGIN
FUNDRAISING FOR THE SOUTH PARK
COMMUNITY CENTER SITE
REDEVELOPMENT.
THE BILL WAS HEARD IN THE CIVIC
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE.
WITH THE PAST RECOMMENDATION
AND EXPECTATION THAT MEMBERS
COULD SPEND AN EXTRA WEEK
BEFORE COUNSEL TO CLARIFY
EFFORTS OF THE AGREEMENT.
IT IS 25 YEARS LONG WITH TWO
FIVE-YEAR EXTENSIONS.
I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER
GONZALEZ AND COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD.
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ'S
AMENDMENTS AS YOU HEARD HER
SHARE, FOCUS IN ON FIELD
PROGRAMMING AND I WANT TO THANK
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD BECAUSE
SHE FOCUSED IN ON ONE OF MY
PASSIONS.
THE PUBLIC BENEFITS PIECE .
THAT IS THE PROGRAM EXPANSION
AND PROVIDING GREATER ACCESS
FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS TO SOUTH
PARK AND THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.
AND WITH THAT, PRESIDENT
HARRELL , I WOULD ASK THAT THE
ORDINANCE PASSED AS AMENDED.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANY CLOSING COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS ON THE BILL?
OKAY.
IF NOT, PLEASE CALL THE ROLE ON
THE PASSAGE OF THE AMENDED
BILL.
>> COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ?
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD?
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ?
COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN?
