>> THANK YOU.
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT
AT THIS PROCLAMATION
RECOGNIZING JUNE 7, 2019 AS A
GUN AWARENESS DAY.
AS I MENTIONED DURING THE
COUNCIL BRIEFING.
IT WAS MY HOPE TO BE ABLE TO
PRESENT THE PROCLAMATION DURING
THE FULL COUNCIL TODAY.
I WANTED TO TAKE THE
OPPORTUNITY IN THE LIGHT OF AND
IN THE AFTERMATH OF GUN
VIOLENCE IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY,
AND AN INCREASE IN MASS
SHOOTINGS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
I WANT TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO READ IT DIRECTLY FROM THE
PROCLAMATION.
WITH YOUR INDULGENCE I WOULD
LIKE TO DO THAT.
WHEREAS EVERYDAY 100 AMERICANS
ARE KILLED BY GUN VIOLENCE, AND
A 200 SUSTAIN INJURIES.
MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED BY GUN
VIOLENCE AND CAR CRASHES.
THE CITY OF SEATTLE WORKS TO
PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY, AND
DSPITE CONCERTED EFFORTS,
THERE WERE 13 THAT WERE FATAL.
RECENT GUN VIOLENCE HAS RAISED
IN THE SENSE OF URGENCY AROUND
SENSIBLE GUN CONTROL MEASURES.
WHEREAS THE IN KING COUNTY
YOUNG ADULTS BETWEEN AGES OF 18-
29 COMPRISE HALF OF FIREARM
HOMICIDE VICTIMS AND
DISPROPORTIONALLY AFFECT YOUNG
ADULTS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN
DESCENT.
UNANIMOUSLY PASSING ORDINANCES,
IMPOSING A FIREARMS SALES TAX
THE PROCEEDS USED FOR THE FIGHT
AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE.
THE JULY 7, THE ORDINANCE WAS
PASSED REQUIRING AUTHORIZED GUN
OWNERS TO SAFELY STORE THEIR
WEAPONS.
AND THIS ORDINANCE WAS
ACCOMPANIED WHICH EXPANDED THE
PENALTIES FOR FAILING TO REPORT
A STOLEN WEAPON.
IN INCIDENCES WHERE A STOLEN
WEAPON IS USED TO COMMIT A
CRIME.
WASHINGTON STATE VOTERS
OVERWHELMINGLY ADOPTED
INITIATIVE 1639 MAKING CHANGES
TO WASHINGTON FIREARM LAWS
INCLUDING RAISING THE MINIMUM
WAGE.
ADDING BACKGROUND CHECKS, AND
ENACTING STORAGE REQUIREMENTS.
WEARING ORANGE ON JUNE 7
AMERICANS WILL COME TOGETHER TO
RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT GUN
VIOLENCE AND HONOR THE LIFE
STOLEN BY GUN VIOLENCE.
THE CITY OF SEATTLE RENEWS
THEIR COMMITMENT AND PLEDGES TO
DO ALL THEY CAN TO KEEP
FIREARMS OUT OF THE WRONG HANDS
AND IN COURAGE RESPONSIBLE GUN
OWNERSHIP WE PROCLAIM JUNE 7,
2019 TO BE GUN VIOLENCE
AWARENESS DAY.
I AM NOT SURE IF THE REPS FROM
THE ALLIANCE WERE GOING TO
RESPOND AT THIS POINT I WOULD
ASK THAT THE COUNCIL ROLES BE
SUSPENDED TO ALLOW ME TO
PRESENT THIS PROCLAMATION AND
TO ALLOW THEM TO ADDRESS THE
CITY COUNCIL IF THEY WISH.
>> BEFORE WE SUSPEND THE RULES
ARE THERE ANY REMARKS FROM
OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS?
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY
ONE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE WASHINGTON
ALLIANCE GUN RESPONSIBILITY.
THAT ORGANIZATIONS GOT STARTED
TWO DAYS AFTER SANTA.
AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE
GOOD WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.
FOR ALL THOSE THAT HAVE
PARTICIPATED.
I'M REALLY GLAD THAT YOU
BROUGHT KLIS PROCLAMATION.
I WILL SEE YOU ON FRIDAY IN
ORANGE.
>> THERE'S NO OBJECTION THEY
WILL ALLOW COUNCILMEMBER
GONZALEZ TO PRESENT THAT
PROCLAMATION.
THANK YOU.
>> I GET A PICTURE OF ALL OF
YOU TOGETHER?
>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER
GONZALEZ FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
WORK.
THIS IS VERY MEANINGFUL WORK.
THIS TIME WE WILL TAKE PUBLIC
COMMENT ON ITEMS THAT APPEAR ON
TODAY'S AGENDA OR THE 2019 WORK
PROGRAM.
PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED
FOR 20 MINUTES.
I HAVE TWO SPEAKERS THAT IF
SIGNED UP.
I'M SORRY, I HAVE A FOUR
SPEAKERS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP.
MARGUERITE FOLLOWED BY DAVID.
>> A GOOD DAY. IT'S VERY
INTERESTING.
WE HAVE A JUDGE HERE.
JOE BROWN HAD TO EDUCATE ME ON
FREE SPEECH.
WITH THAT BEING ON MINE.
I THINK A MINUTE KEEP ON
SPEAKING LIKE I TOLD YOU.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME
YOU CAN CONTACT JUDGE BROWN.
ANYONE THAT WAS THERE WE HAD A
CONVERSATION WITH THE STREETS.
I THINK THAT IS IN LINE WITH
YOUR PROGRAM.
SINCE YOU TALK ABOUT GUN
VIOLENCE. I DO NOT KNOW.
YOU COME DOWN HERE YOU CHOP UP
PEOPLE'S SPEECH.
MAKE THEM RIGHT UP DIFFERENT
THINGS IN THEIR BRAIN, THESE
PEOPLE LIKE TO TRESPASS YOU
WHEN THEY DON'T LIKE SOMETHING.
THE SOMETHING IS IS SOMETHING
THAT JUDGE BROWN WAS THE SAME.
AND HE'S A JUDGE.
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT I AM
THE JUDGE.
HERE COMES THE JUDGE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
THIS IS 2019.
AND WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH
ISSUES SURROUNDING ALL TYPES OF
VIOLENCE.
GANG BANGERS, YOU NAME IT.
SOME OF THE STUFF THAT I SEE
THAT YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DO
TO ENFORCE THE LAW YOU DON'T DO
IT YOURSELF.
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT GANG
BANGERS, YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT
SOMEBODY WITH THE GUN.
IN THE WAY YOU TREAT US AS
WORSE THAN A GUN.
THE POISON THAT YOU THROW OUT IS
WORSE THAN THE MOST DEADLY
POISON ON THE FACE OF THIS
EARTH.
GET IT.
WE COULDN'T VIOLATE OUR OATH
FIVE TIMES AND NOT BE LOCKED UP
IN PRISON SOMEWHERE. THEY WOULD
DO SOMETHING THAT YOU VIOLATE
EVERY TIME YOU COME IN AND OUT
OF YOUR PICNIC SPEAKER IS DAVID.
>>> HAS A CITY COUNCIL GONE
OVERBOARD, WILL SEATTLE ALWAYS
BE STUCK IN THE PAST?
WE NEED A PRE-2008 ECONOMY.
ARE WE ARE WAITING FOR WHAT IS
WATER DOWN WITH CHEAPER FEES TO
LINE THE POCKETS OF NONPROFITS
UNQUALIFIED. PRESENTS TRAFFIC
DRIVING OVER THE COBBLESTONES,
MAKING IT IS SO MUCH NOISE THAT
IT'S ANNOYING TO GO TO THE
MAGAZINE RACK.
IT GETS ON THE FOOD AT THE
MARKET.
I HOPE THE CITY COUNCIL ISN'T
FORSAKING THE HOMELESS BY
FOCUSING ON HISTORIC
PRESERVATION BECAUSE IT'S
EASIER.
WE NEED A MASS FIRING AT THE
GOVERNMENT AND NONGOVERNMENT
AGENCIES.
YOU STILL NEED TO VOTED TO
APPOINT JASON JOHNSON THE
PERMANENT DIRECTOR TO FIRE THE
CORRUPT EMPLOYEES.
HE'S QUALIFIED AND HIGHLY
COMPETENT.
IN ORDER FOR THE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION TO WORK YOU HAVE
TO DIAL DOWN THE SPEEDING
THROUGH FIRST AND PIKE.
TO CELEBRATE A QUIETER TIME
WITHOUT THE TRUCKS CREATING A
PTSD ABUSE OF CHILDREN'S
EARDRUMS.
>> THE NEXT SPEAKER WILL BE
JACOB, FOLLOWED BY TROY.
>> PLEASE FORGIVE ME I HAVE
SOCIAL ANXIETY, SO I'M GOING TO
READ THIS.
MY NAME IS JACOB AND I'M HERE
AS A VOLUNTEER FREE UNIFIED
SEATTLE.
AND I MAKING A STATEMENT TODAY
AFTER MYSELF AND FELLOW
VOLUNTEERS SPENT TIME CLEANING
UP AROUND AN ENCAMPMENT, WE
DISPOSE COUNTLESS DIRTY
NEEDLES, AND TRASH NEXT TO
PILES OF OVERFLOWING TRASH BAGS
LEFT ON THE STREET.
WE WITNESSED A UNDENIABLE
CONTROL THAT ADDICTION HAS,
RESIDENTS LACKING THE WATER BUT
NOT DRUGS.
THIS ISN'T A HOMELESS CRISIS,
THIS IS A DRUG CRISIS.
LOW BARRIER ENCAMPMENTS THAT
ALLOW DRUG USE ARE PUSHING
RESIDENTS DEEPER INTO ADDICTION
AND TO CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS
WITHOUT ANY FORM OF TREATMENT.
TO TRANSITION INTO PERMANENT
HOUSING THOSE SUFFERING WILL
ONLY CONTINUE TO BE ENSLAVED TO
THEIR ADDICTIONS WITH NO HOPE
OF GETTING OFF THE STREET.
SEATTLE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON
ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES OF
HOMELESSNESS. FOR SOME THAT
MEANS TREATMENT FOR DRUG USE
AND OTHER MENTAL ILLNESS.
FOR OTHERS FINANCIAL MENTORSHIP.
HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS NEED A WAY
OUT, WE NEED SOLUTIONS AND NOT
SHACKS.
>> THANK YOU JACOB.
THE LAST SPEAKER IS TROY.
>>
>> I WAS ALSO AT THIS CLEANUP
AT THIS HOMELESS CAMP
YESTERDAY.
WE PICKED UP TONS OF GARBAGE IN
NEEDLES AND ALONG THE CAMP
THERE WERE TENTS AND EVERYTHING
. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO PUT A
DUMPSTER AROUND THAT PLACE,
THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE WILLING
TO CLEAN UP THE GARBAGE, THE
MESS AROUND THERE.
I ONCE LIVED LIKE THAT MYSELF.
THE COMMUNITY AROUND THERE, IF
YOU ARE DRIVING A MERCEDES AND
YOU PULL UP, INSTEAD OF BEING
SCARED YOU NEED TO GET EYE
LEVEL AND LET THEM KNOW THAT I
AM HERE TO HELP YOU SHOW THAT
YOU CARE. INSTEAD OF JUDGING
PEOPLE AND SAYING THE THINGS
THEY SAY.
IT'S A NONSENSE.
WE ARE ALL THE SAME.
WE HAVE OUR ADDICTIONS AND WE
DO WHAT WE DO.
PEOPLE NEED TO COME TOGETHER
AND LEARN HOW TO LOVE, SHARE,
GIVE, ALL THAT.
A LOT OF US ARE NOT AS
FORTUNATE AS OTHERS.
IT'S HARD TO GET INTO A NEW
LIFE, AND CHANGE OUR LIVES.
THE MORE HELP THAT THE
COMMUNITY AND EVERYONE AROUND
US GIVES. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED,
AND THAT'S HOW ARE GOING TO
STRAIGHTEN THE WORLD ARE THESE
THE CITIES UP.
STOP ENABLING US AND HELP US
OUT.
SHOW THAT YOU CARE.
REACH OUT A HAND.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT'S ALL WE ARE ASKING FOR.
THAT'S HOW YOU CLEAN UP THE
STREETS.
>> THANK YOU SIR.
>> I THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY, THAT CONCLUDES THE
PUBLIC TESTIMONY SECTION AND WE
WILL MOVE TO THE PAYMENT OF THE
BILLS.
LET'S MOVE TO THAT SECTION.
THE BILL PASSED WITHOUT ANY
COMMENTS.
LET'S HAVE A [ ROLL CALL ].
>> NINE IN FAVOR, NONE OPPOSED.
BUT PLEASE REPORT THE GENDER
EQUITY, SAFE COMMITTEES, NEW
AMERICANS, AND EDUCATION
COMMITTEE.
COUNSEL BILL 119513.
RELATING TO THE CITY OF
SEATTLE'S PAID FAMILY CARE
LEAVE PROGRAM.
AMENDING SECTIONS OF 4.29 POINT
010 MANAS FULL CODE.
>> I'M AND ADVANCING 119513.
KNOWN AS B'S LAW.
IF APPROVED THIS WILL CORRECT A
GAP AND OVERSIGHT AND ARE PAID
FAMILY CARE PROGRAM APPLICABLE
TO MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES AND
THEIR FAMILIES.
IT WILL DO SO BY DOING THE
FOLLOWING.
IT DEFINES QUALIFYING DEATH TO
INCLUDE THE DEATH OF A CHILD OR
DOMESTIC PARTNER OR SPOUSE WHO
DIED FROM CHILDBIRTH OR
CONGREGATIONS RELATED TO
CHILDBIRTH.
IF THERE IS A QUALIFYING DEATH
IT WILL ALLOW A PARENT OR
SURVIVING PARTNER OR SPOUSE THE
ABILITY TO ACCESS PAID FAMILY
LEAVE WITHOUT DRYING DOWN SICK
LEAVE WITHIN 12 MONTHS.
THE CITY BUDGET OFFICE HAS
ESTIMATED THAT THE POLICY
CHANGE DOES NOT HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND CAN BE
IMPLEMENTED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL
BUDGET APPROPRIATION.
HAS MENTIONED, THIS IS NOT A
LEGISLATIVE FIX TO HYPOTHETICAL
SCENARIO.
WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO
DISCUSS THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF
RACHEL AND ERIN'S LOSS OF THEIR
DAUGHTER BEATRICE.
36 HOURS AFTER ARRIVAL INTO
THIS WORLD.
WE SAW THE PICTURES, WE HEARD
THE HEARTWARMING STORIES OF THE
PROFOUND LOVE DEAD SHE GAVE HER
MOTHER'S IN THAT SHORT WINDOW.
WE ARE BEARING WITNESS TO A
LEGACY THAT WILL LEAVE IT IN
THE INDELIBLE MARK ON THE
CITY'S FAMILY FRIENDLY
POLICIES.
I AM HONORED TO PLAY A SMALL
ROLE IN ADVANCING THAT LEGACY
TODAY.
RACHEL AND ERIN HAD MANY
CHOICES IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE
LOSS OF THEIR DAUGHTER BEATRICE.
LEARNING THAT FAMILY LEAVE
POLICIES WERE AN ADEQUATE.
THEY CHOSE TO EFFECTIVELY SEEK
FOR CHANGE.
BEING A CATALYST FOR POSITIVE
CHANGE FOR THEMSELVES AND
FUTURE FAMILIES. AS A RESULT
WE TAKE A FINAL VOTE ON THE
LEGISLATION THAT MORE FULLY
RECOGNIZES THE REALITIES OF THE
SUDDEN LOSS OF A CHILD.
THE CITY EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE
ABLE TO FOCUS ON HEALING WITH
THEIR FAMILIES IN THESE MOMENTS.
AND THIS LAW WILL PROVIDE
QUALIFYING EMPLOYEES WITH FOUR
PAID LEAVES TO DO SO.
THE HEALING OF LOSING SOMEONE
INCLUDING A YOUNG CHILD TAKES
LONGER THAN FOUR WEEKS.
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY MORE THAN
THE THREE DAYS THAT YOU HAD TO
COME TOGETHER AND MOURN AND BE
PREPARED FOR WHAT THE FUTURE
WOULD BRING.
I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER
MOSQUEDA FOR HER PARTNERSHIP ON
ADVANCING THIS LAW.
AND FOR THE TIRELESS COMMITMENT
TO FINDING A SOLUTION FOR ALL
OF OUR CITY WORKERS.
OF COURSE ONE LAST THANK YOU
PUBLICLY TO RACHEL AND ERIN FOR
YOUR COURAGE YOUR COMMITMENT TO
EFFECTUATE CHANGE IN THE NAME OF
BEATRICE.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU ADOPT
COUNSEL BILL 119513.
>> I AM INCREDIBLY PROUD TO BE
THE SPONSOR OF BEA'S'S LAW.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
I WANT TO THANK RACHEL AND ERIN
FOR YOUR AD GIVEA SEE ADVOCACY.
WITHOUT YOU SHARING YOUR STORY
WITHOUT YOUR PERSISTENCE TO
MAKE SURE THAT NO FAMILY HAS TO
GO THROUGH WHAT YOU DID.
WE WERE NOT BE HERE IN OTHER
FAMILIES WOULD BE SUFFERING THE
SAME LAWS AND HEARTBREAK.
THIS POLICY MAKES THE CHANGES
YOU'VE BEEN ASKING FOR FOR A
LONG TIME.
IT PROVIDES TIME OFF IF YOU
LOSE YOUR CHILD.
FOR THE RECOVERY THAT YOU HAVE
GONE THROUGH.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
NOT FELT BY ANOTHER FAMILY
MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE DECISION
TO GO BACK TO WORK WHILE YOU
TRYING TO GRIEVE AND RECOVER.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE
WHO WORK FOR THE CITY CAN COME
BACK TO WORK WHEN THEY ARE
READY.
AND OF THE TIME THEY HAVE IS
PAID TIME OFF.
THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER
GONZALEZ FOR HER LEADERSHIP ,
THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING THIS
AS WELL.
VERY EXCITED TO SEE THIS MOVE
FORWARD.
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ OUTLINED
THE COMPONENTS OF THIS LAW, BUT
I WANT TO UNDERSCORE THE
POLICIES THAT WE CHANGE.
ONE IS THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER
REQUIRED TO DRAW DOWN ON
EXISTING SICK TIME OR VACATION
TIME.
I HATE THAT PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO
DRAW DOWN ON LEAVE THAT WE HAVE
A THOUGHT FOR.
THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR REST AND
RECOVERY, WE HAVE A VACATION
AND LEAVE TIME POLICIES FOR
IMPORTANT REASONS.
THE LOSS OF A CHILD IS NO
VACATION.
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO USE THAT
TIME AT THIS CRITICAL MOMENT.
WE CHANGE THAT NOW.
WE MADE SURE THAT IT YOU DON'T
HAVE TO USE THE LEAVE
CONCURRENTLY IN THE EVENT OF A
QUALIFYING DEATH.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THAT
POLICY SEPARATE. AND AS YOU
HAVE HEARD WE HAVE REALLY MADE
SURE THAT THE QUALIFYING DEATH
IS ONE THAT INCLUDES THE DEATH
OF A SPOUSE OR DOMESTIC PARTNER
. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
YOUR WILLINGNESS TO INCLUDE
THAT COMPONENT AS WE THINK
ABOUT HOW FAMILIES MAY GRIEVE
AT THIS MOMENT.
AROUND THE BIRTH OF A CHILD.
TO MAKE SURE THE BEREAVEMENT
LEAVE IS CONCEPTUALLY APPLIED.
AND THAT WE'VE USED TERMS LIKE
BIRTHING PARTNER.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP,
YOUR OPUS OPENNESS AND FOR
HELPING US THAT OUR EXISTING
BEREAVEMENT POLICY WAS
UNACCEPTABLE.
ONE DAY THAT YOU HAD WAS NOT
SIGNIFICANT . WE WILL WORK TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE BEREAVEMENT
POLICY BETTER REFLECT WHAT
FAMILIES NEED.
AS I SAID EARLIER, WE BELIEVE
THAT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING
OF HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ADDRESS THE BEREAVEMENT LEAVES.
I'M SO PROUD TO HAVE WORKED
WITH YOU TO CHANGE OUR POLICIES
TO ADDRESS THIS CRITICAL GAP AS
IT APPLIES TO FAMILIES WHO NEED
TIME OFF TO BE WITH THEIR
CHILD, THEIR PARTNER OR GRIEVE
THE LOSS OF THEIR CHILD.
I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR
HELPING TO ELIMINATE THE SHORT
AND IMPACTFUL LIFE THAT AND 23
HAD.
TO ENSURE THAT NO OTHER FAMILY
HAS TO SUFFER THE SAME
EXPERIENCE.
MAKING SURE THAT WE LIFT UP THE
VOICE OF BEA AND MAKING SURE
THAT THERE IS A LASTING
CHANGE.
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO DO.
THANKS TO ERIN AND RACHEL FOR
SETTING THIS PATH FOR
COMPREHENSIVE CHANGE.
>> ANY LAST COMMENTS?
ARE WE READY TO VOTE?
THANK YOU FOR THOSE FINE
PRESENTATIONS.
THIS PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON
