>> GOOD AFTERNOON. IT'S 2:0 8
PM ON FIGURE 26 2019.
THIS IS THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED
MEETING OF THE HUMAN SERVICES
EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT AND
ENTERPRISE COMMITTEE OF SEATTLE
CITY COUNCIL.
I'M JOINED BY COUNCILMEMBER
HARRELL AND COUNCIL MEMBER
JUAREZ.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
I EXPECT TODAY'S MEETING WILL
BE QUITE EFFICIENT.
THE TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA ARE
ALL APPOINTMENTS TO THE SEATTLE
RENTER'S COMMISSION, SO WE WILL
TAKE THEM ALL TOGETHER.
MICHAEL OCAMPO IS BEING
REAPPOINTED TO A SECOND TERM ON
THE COMMISSION, AND JEANNE
ALLEN, AND CALVIN JONES ARE
BEING APPOINTED TO FIRST TERMS,
ALTHOUGH CALVIN JONES HAS JUST
FINISHED SERVING ON THE
COMMISSION OF THE ENGAGED YOUTH
MEMBERS.
THERE IS ANOTHER SPOT THE
COUNCIL HAS THE AUTHORITY TO
FILL WHICH RECENTLY BECAME
VACANT.
IF ANYBODY WHO IS WATCHING ON
SEATTLE CHANNEL OR IN CHAMBERS
IS INTERESTED IN APPLYING,
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO
THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF
NEIGHBORHOODS WEBSITE.
AS IT WAS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO
CONTACT MY OFFICE AT ANY TIME.
THERE ARE THREE MAYORAL
APPOINTMENTS UP FOR
REAPPOINTMENT SO WE EXPECT TO
GET THOSE FROM THE EXECUTIVE
SOON.
I BELIEVE THERE'S ALSO A
VACANCY THE MAYOR HAS THE
AUTHORITY TO FILL.
BEFORE WE BRING OUR PRESENTERS
TO THE TABLE WE DO HAVE PUBLIC
COMMENT SO HEAD FROM MY OFFICE
WILL READ OUT THE NAMES AND
EACH SPEAKER WILL HAVE TWO
MINUTES.
>> THERE ARE FOUR PEOPLE SIGNED
UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
ALEX TSIMERMAN FOLLOWED BY
BRANDON MASSEY IS, FOLLOWED BY
DAMISIUS DIRZAN.
>> HEIL MY DIRTY FUHRER.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE
YOU WILL POINT.
THE PEOPLE WHO YOU WILL APPOINT
IS NOTHING DIFFERENT FROM YOU
WITH PERSONAL INTERESTS.
NOBODY CARE ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING AND NOBODY CARE ABOUT
700,000 PEOPLE.
I GIVE YOU VERY RECENT EXAMPLE.
TODAY, 11:00, CITY LIGHT
COMMISSIONER IN CHAIR, IN LOSS,
AND DIRECTOR SCHMIDT PRESENT.
IT'S VERY UNUSUAL.
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT AS I TALK TO
YOU SOUND.
YES, EXACTLY TO YOU, AND TO
THIS CROOK, ANOTHER CROOK, TOO.
EVERY COMMISSION PRESENT A
DIRECTOR.
THIS MAKES IT TOTALLY
DIFFERENT.
I TALK ABOUT THIS 100 TIMES,
YOU TALK ABOUT THE HUMAN
SERVICE DIRECTOR, WHO YOU DON'T
LIKE.
HE CANNOT QUALIFY.
IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
WHEN EVERY DIRECTOR HAVE JOINED
AND PRESENT LIKE CITY LIGHT
DIRECTOR SCHMIDT PRESENT, YOU
KNOW WITH ME NOW?
SITUATION. ALLY DIFFERENT
IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
IT COST US NOT A PENNY, BUT
THIS MANUAL EMPLOY, AND PEOPLE
COMEY, AND OTHER 700,000
IDIOTS, WE CONTROL YOU.
MAYBE SOMETHING WILL CHANGE.
YOU NEVER DID THIS.
NO ONE FROM THIS DIRTY CROOKS
WHO SIT IN THIS CHAMBER TALKING
ABOUT THIS.
SIMPLE.
SIMPLE BUSINESS.
IN OTHER POINT, WHY YOU CANNOT
OPEN BETTER ROOM.
200 MILLION GOVERNMENT WHO COST
US $10 MILLION PER YEAR.
I SPOKE ABOUT THIS EVERYWHERE.
COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA IS A
LIAR AND A CROOK.
TOGETHER WITH YOU, DOING THIS.
VERY SIMPLE.
WE NEED SOMETHING FROM
DIRECTOR.
STAND UP SEATTLE.
THANK YOU.
>> BRANDON MASSIUS FOLLOWED BY
A STEPHEN SOCHI.
>> WE HAVE MISTER DiNARDO AND
MISTER GASPERICH HERE WITH US
TODAY.
WHERE PREVIOUS EMPLOYEES OF
SHARE WILL.
WE ARE COMING BEFORE THIS
COMMITTEE TODAY ON ISSUES THAT
I THINK ARE REALLY PERTINENT,
ESPECIALLY TO THIS COMMITTEE
AND OTHERS WE TALKED TO BEFORE.
HUMAN SERVICES OF THE CONTRACT
TO OFFER MULTIPLE SHOPPER IT
OPERATE MULTIPLE SHELTERS
THROUGHOUT THE AREA.
WE HAVE ALL BEEN AWARE OF
SEVERAL MISS COMINGS AND
MISGIVINGS THEY'VE PRESENTED TO
HST AND OTHER SERVICES.
I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MARY
FLOWERS TO TRY AND PREVENT SOME
OF THIS INFORMATION AND ADDRESS
THE MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS
AMONG OTHER THINGS.
I'VE ALSO REACHED OUT TO
MULTIPLE COUNCILMEMBERS
INCLUDING TODAY'S CHAIR, MISS
SAWANT.
BRUCE HARRELL'S OFFICE ACTUALLY
HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESPOND AND
ASSIST ME.
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FINALLY GET
A HOLD OF MOSQUEDA'S OFFICE TO
ASSIST ME IN REACHING OUT TO
THE APPROPRIATE OFFICES, AS
WELL AS MISS HERBOLD IS
HOPEFULLY GOING TO GET BACK TO
ME SOON.
WE ARE ALSO HERE BECAUSE
RENTERS RIGHTS COMMISSION MIGHT
BE SOME PEOPLE WE NEED TO
ADDRESS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
WE ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH
MISUSE OF AN OFFICE OF HOUSING
LEVY AGREEMENT LOCATION THAT
HAS SOME MAJOR MISUSE.
AGAIN, PUBLIC FUNDS IN THE
INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THAT LAND
USE.
OVERALL, MY HOPE IS TO BE ABLE
TO TALK WITH MORE COUNCILMEMBERS
THAT ARE IN CHARGE OF THESE
MULTIPLE COMMITTEES THAT IS
REALLY PERTINENT TO THEM.
I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU TO
MISTER HARRELL'S OFFICE FOR
GETTING BACK TO ME SO
EXPEDIENTLY AND BEING SO OPEN
TO ASSIST ME.
THE FOUR OF US HERE TODAY HAVE
DEALT WITH SHARE FOR QUITE A
LONG TIME NOW.
WE HAVE BEEN WITH SHARE FOR
OVER A YEAR.
WE HAVE BEEN PRESENT FOR
MULTIPLE ISSUES.
WE HAVE BEEN EMPLOYEES ON THE
INSIDE AND NOW WE ARE DEALING
WITH DETERMINATION,
RETALIATION, ISSUES WITH
REPORTING.
IF WE BRING UP ANYTHING, WE
HAVE FACED LOTS OF BLOWBACK AND
OTHER ISSUES.
AGAIN, THE ISSUES WITH TRYING
TO TALK WITH DON FULLY AT THE
OFFICE OF HOUSING AND MARY
FLOWERS, WHO IS IN CHARGE OF
THAT CONTRACT FOR OPERATIONS OF
THAT LOCATION HAS MADE IT
REALLY DIFFICULT TO TRY AND
HAVE AN EFFICIENT WAY TO HAVE
OUTREACH IN THE CITY.
MY HOPE IS THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL WILL TAKE SOME NOTICE
OF SOME OF THESE ISSUES GOING
ON, TALK WITH US, FIND OUT
ABOUT THESE MISUSES AND
HOPEFULLY, HELP US PUT A STOP
TO THE ABUSE OF CITY FUNDS,
ABUSE OF LEVY AGREEMENTS, AND
ABUSE OF THE USE OF LAND THAT
IS REALLY RELEVANT.
I HAVE QUESTIONS TODAY FOR THE
POTENTIAL APPOINTEES TO THE
RENTER'S COMMISSION.
HOW CAN WE TALK TO THEM?
WHAT KIND OF ISSUES WILL THEY
BE ABLE TO ADDRESS?
AND HOW CAN WE ULTIMATELY WORK
WITH THEM TO TRY AND GIVE SOME
ADVICE TO THE CITY ON SOME OF
THESE ISSUES THAT ARE REALLY
RELEVANT TO US?
MY HOPE IS THAT THEY CAN
ANSWER, WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO
TALKING WITH US?
WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO HEAR
SOME OF THESE CONCERNS AND WORK
WITH US ON CURRENT POLICIES AND
ISSUES, AND HELP US ADDRESS
OTHER COUNCILS AND AGENCIES AS
NEEDED AND RELEVANT?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME
TODAY.
HOPEFULLY, IN THE NEAR FUTURE I
CAN TALK WITH YOU MORE AND
HOPEFULLY PAUSE SOLVE A LOT OF
THESE ISSUES.
>> THANK YOU FOR TESTIFYING AND
OF COURSE, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO
DISCUSS WITH YOU.
FEEL FREE TO GIVE YOUR CONTACT
INFORMATION -- TED, BY THE WAY
KOWLITZ FOLLOW UP.
IF YOU WANT TO GET HIM TOUCH
WITH THE RENTER'S COMMISSION,
THE COMMISSIONERS ARE EXTREMELY
DEDICATED AND THEY CARE ABOUT
THE ISSUES, SO I HAVE NO DOUBT
THAT YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ATTEND A
MEETING, AND MAYBE, DISCUSS IF
YOU WANT TO PRESENT SOMETHING.
MY OFFICE IS HAPPY TO HELP YOU
IN THAT PROCESS, AS WELL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> FINAL SPEAKER, SOCHI
MAKOVICH.
>> I'M TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT OF
THE APPOINTMENT OF JEANNE
ALLEN'S TO THE RENTER'S
COMMISSION, SO I HAVE KNOWN
GINA FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS.
THAT'S A LONG TIME.
ANYWAY, SHE IS DEFINITELY
SOMEONE WHO IS INCREDIBLY
INSPIRING TO ME AND HAS MADE ME
A BETTER ORGANIZER AND HELPED
ME DEVELOP THE SKILLS
NECESSARILY NECESSARY TO
ORGANIZE PEOPLE, AND WHEN I
FIRST MET GINA, WE WERE WORKING
ON A CAMPAIGN AROUND MEDICAL
DEBT AND SWEDISH, AND JUST
WORKING WITH HER, AND LEARNING
FROM HER ON HOW TO BOTH WORK
WITH PEOPLE, TO DEVELOP WAYS TO
CHALLENGE INSTITUTIONS, AND
JUST REMEMBER A LOT OF
CONVERSATIONS WHEN WE GOT TO
THE POINT OF LIKE BEING ACROSS
THE TABLE FROM EXECUTIVES FROM
SWEDISH, SHE HELD HER GROUND
AND REALLY PUSHED, AND
CHALLENGED THEM.
WE WERE ABLE TO WIN THAT
CAMPAIGN.
SHE IS SOMEONE THAT WORKED
REALLY CLOSELY LIKE THE REASON
WASHINGTON CAN IS WORKING ON
HOUSING AT ALL IS BECAUSE OF
GINA.
SO, I WOULD SAY PRETTY MUCH,
THE FACT THAT WE ARE ABOUT TO
PASS EVICTION REFORM IN THE
STATE OF WASHINGTON YOU COULD
TRACE BACK TO GINA HARASSING ME
THREE YEARS AGO ABOUT LIKE WHEN
ARE WE GOING TO START WORKING
ON HOUSING?
I AM JUST SUPER HAPPY SHE IS UP
FOR THIS APPOINTMENT, AND I HOPE
THE COUNCIL APPOINTS HER TO
THIS COMMISSION, AND BE
PREPARED FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO
BE HARASSING ALL OF YOU TO WORK
ON MORE THINGS.
THANK YOU.
>> AS YOU KNOW, I DON'T SEE
THAT AS HARASSMENT.
I SEE THAT AS HEAD OF THE
MOVEMENT WE ARE BUILDING.
I WILL ECHO EVERYTHING YOU SAID
ABOUT GINA, AND CAN I SAY,
ALSO, PERSONALLY, I WAS SO
DELIGHTED WHEN TED INFORMED ME
GINA HAD AGREED TO SERVE ON THE
COMMISSION.
CATS OUT OF THE BAG.
SO, WITH THE PRESENTERS PLEASE
COME TO THE TABLE?
SO, WE DON'T HAVE CALVIN JONES
TODAY, IS THAT RIGHT?
>> RIGHT.
I THINK THEY ARE SENDING
SOMEONE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
NEIGHBORHOODS.
>> WELCOME, BOTH OF YOU, AND IF
YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND
ORGANIZATION JUST FOR THE
RECORD AS AN INTRODUCTION AND
THEN WE CAN TAKE DISCUSSION.
>> TED RENDON, COUNCILMEMBER
SWAN'S OFFICE.
>> JEANNE ALLEN, WASHINGTON
CAP.
>> MY NAME IS
WANG WING, DEPARTMENT OF
NEIGHBORHOODS.
>> DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK?
>> SURE.
INC.
YOU.
I AM PLEASED TO BE HERE IN
PLACE OF MAUREEN, WHO IS DON'S
SEATTLE RENTER COORDINATOR.
AS YOU KNOW, THE SEATTLE CITY
COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO
ESTABLISH THE CITY SEATTLE
RENTER'S COMMISSION IN MARCH
2017.
THE PURPOSE OF THE SEATTLE
RENTER'S COMMISSION IS TO
ADVISE THE MAYOR AND CITY
COUNCIL ON ISSUES AND POLICIES
OF IMPORTANCE TO RENTERS
CITYWIDE.
I AM PLEASED TO BE HERE TODAY
TO INTRODUCE OUR TWO NOMINEES
FOR REAPPOINTMENT TO A SECOND
TERM OF THE SEATTLE RENTER'S
COMMISSION.
FIRST, IS CALVIN JONES, WHO
CAME TO THE COMMISSION THROUGH
THE GET ENGAGED PROGRAM, AND HAS
CONTINUED TO ACTIVELY WORK ON
ISSUES IMPORTANT TO THE
COMMISSION INCLUDING MANDATORY
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, ADVISING
SDCI ON THE RENTER PORTAL, AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT FORT
LAWTON.
I AM PLEASED TO WELCOME CALVIN
BACK TO THE COMMISSION AS A
COUNCIL APPOINTED COMMISSIONER.
KEVIN ASKED TO SHARE THE
FOLLOWING REMARKS, AS HE COULD
NOT BE HERE TODAY.
HE SAID, "I AM HUMBLED BY THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO
SERVE ON THE SEATTLE RENTER'S
COMMISSION AND APPRECIATE
COUNSEL'S COMMITMENT COUNCIL'S
COMMITMENT.
YOU ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB
AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH YOU TO MAKE EVERY
PART OF SEATTLE AFFORDABLE AND
INCLUSIVE FOR ALL RENTERS."
INC.
YOU.
SHOULD I DO THE NEXT NOMINEE?
>> HOW ABOUT, LET'S HAVE GINA
SPEAK A LITTLE BIT BUT I
APPRECIATE THAT STATEMENT FROM
CALVIN.
PLEASE, LET HIM KNOW.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT
OPPORTUNITY.
MISTER HARRELL AND MISS JUAREZ,
I DIDN'T DO A SPEECH BECAUSE I
FEEL LIKE HOUSING IS ONE OF
THOSE THINGS THAT I JUST TALK
ABOUT HOW IT HAS MADE ME FEEL.
I DON'T NEED A SPEECH FOR THAT,
SO I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD
TO THIS OPPORTUNITY.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS
WITHIN THE RENTAL ISSUES THAT I
HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF FOR
MANY YEARS, AND I REALLY FEEL
LIKE THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
BECAUSE PEOPLE IN THE RENTAL
WORLD NEED A VOICE AT THE TABLE
AND THAT'S WHO I AM, AND WILL
BE FOR THE COMMISSION.
SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A FEW
THINGS.
I THINK JEAN'S WORK WITH THE
HOUSING AUTHORITY AND THE
RENTER'S COMMISSION BEING
VALUABLE WITH HER EXPERIENCES
AND POLICY ADVICE SHE HAS GIVEN
WITH THE HANDS-ON, GRASSROOTS
WORK SHE IS DOING, IS GOING TO
BE GREAT FOR THE COMMISSION.
WHAT I FOUND INTERESTING IN
CALVIN'S BACKGROUND, AND I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU LOOKED AT IT,
BUT MY GOODNESS, GRACIOUS.
HE'S GOT A MATH DEGREE IN
THEORETICAL MATHEMATICS FROM
YALE, AND ANOTHER DEGREE IN --
>> SWIM TEAM.
>> I MEAN ABA IN THEORETICAL
MATHEMATICS WITH A 3.9 GPA, SO
I AM HOPING HE CAN BE AN
INCREDIBLE TOOL IN LOOKING AT
SOME OF THE MATH INVOLVED IN
TERMS OF RENTAL TRENDS.
ONE OF THE THINGS IT ASTOUNDS
ME IN SEATTLE, AS I THINK WE
NOW HAVE LIKE 51% OR 52 RENTERS
NOW.
I THINK IT WENT FROM A MAJORITY
OF RENTERS, AND IT WAS BEEN
CURIOUS AS TO THE BREAKDOWN IN
TERMS OF WHO OWNS ALL THIS
RENTAL PROPERTY.
I'VE BEEN TOLD, BUT NOT PROVEN
THAT THERE IS A LOT OF REAL
ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST PEOPLE
THAT ANTICIPATED TRENDS 15
YEARS AGO THAT RENTS ARE GOING
O BE EXTREMELY HIGH, AN
ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS INFLUX
OF WORKERS THAT CAN PAY HIGHER
RENTS, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT
WAY IN FRONT OF THE INVESTMENT
GAME, AND 20, 30, 40 PIECES OF
FAMILY HOMES BUT I DON'T KNOW
IF THAT'S THE CASE.
WITH HIS ANALYTICAL SKILLS,
MAYBE, ON THE COMMISSION, WE
COULD GET SOMEONE LIKE THAT TO
USE THAT AS AN ADVANTAGE.
WE ALL KNOW RENT IS ESCALATING
BUT HE COULD PROBABLY DO MORE
ANALYTICAL WORK THAN THAT.
SHOULD BE A GREAT TEAM WITH
GRASSROOTS ACTIVISTS AND
ANALYTICAL THEORY.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING
EVERYBODY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
WELCOME, GINA.
I HAVE SEEN YOU MANY TIMES.
YOU'VE BEEN PROVIDING PUBLIC
COMMENT ON COMMON HOUSING
ISSUES.
I WANTED TO ASK YOU TWO THINGS.
WHAT DISTRICT DO YOU LIVE IN?
>> 37.
>> DISTRICT 7?
>> 37th LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT.
>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT CITY
DISTRICT YOU LIVE IN?
>> WHAT AREA DO YOU LIVE IN?
>> CENTRAL DISTRICT.
>> DISTRICT 3. THAT WASN'T
NOTED ON YOUR THING.
SO, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN AROUND,
IT SAYS YOU'VE BEEN WORKING FOR
18 YEARS ON THE HOUSING AND
LANDLORD ISSUES AND TENANT
ISSUES.
JUST ON A PERSONAL NOTE, I
WANTED TO KNOW WHAT GOT YOU
INTERESTED IN DOING THIS
BECAUSE A LOT OF IT IS
OBVIOUSLY VOLUNTEER, AND WHY
YOU REMAIN SO COMMITTED AND
WANT TO CONTINUE DOING THIS
WORK.
>> I THINK IT'S FROM ACTUALLY
LIVING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
TRACK.
ON ONE SIDE OF THE TRACK, I WAS
MARRIED, AND WE HAD A REALLY
DECENT COMBINED INCOME, AND WE
NEVER WANTED FOR ANYTHING.
AFTER A DIVORCE, AND SOME OTHER
ISSUES I HAD, I FOUND MYSELF
STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
AND THEN I WAS IN A CAR
ACCIDENT, AND BEING DISABLED, I
LOST MY APARTMENT BECAUSE I
DIDN'T HAVE AN INCOME.
IT SPIRALS.
IT MADE ME REALLY LOOK AT
THINGS THAT I WAS FACING.
AND HOUSING, AND HEALTHCARE ARE
TWO THINGS THAT I WORK REALLY
HARD TO HELP PEOPLE ACHIEVE
BECAUSE THEY ARE BASIC
NECESSITIES.
HOUSING IS ONE OF MY BABIES.
I FOUGHT WITH WASHINGTON COUNTY
TO GET HOUSING ISSUES WORKED ON.
>> I WANT TO THANK YOU BECAUSE
úTHERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT
VOLUNTEER FOR THESE COMMITTEES,
AND THE RENTERS THAT ARE SO
DEDICATED TO THESE ISSUES.
YOU DON'T COME HERE AND
COMPLAIN, YOU ACTUALLY OFFER
SOLUTIONS.
YOU BUILD COMMUNITY, YOU
REPRESENT COMMUNITY, AND YOU
ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
I WILL BE VOTING YES FOR YOU
TODAY, AS WELL.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THAT'S IT.
>> EXCUSE ME.
THANK YOU.
I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE AND
NOMINATE MICHAEL OCAMPO.
MICHAEL OCAMPO WILL BE STARTING
HIS SECOND TERM ON THE
COMMISSION.
HE BRINGS TO THE COMMISSION,
THE ABILITY TO TAKE WORDS INTO
ACTION AND A BALANCED APPROACH
TO BUILDING CONSENSUS ON THE
COMMISSION.
HE IS A MEMBER OF THE RENTER
PROTECTIONS WORKGROUP AND I AM
PLEASED TO NOMINATE MICHAEL TO
A SECOND TERM ON THE
COMMISSION.
THANK YOU.
>> FANTASTIC.
>> AND JUST TO CLARIFY, WITH
THE APPOINTMENTS, IT'S A LITTLE
STRANGE.
MICHAEL IS A STRAIGHT UP
REAPPOINTMENT FOR CALVIN.
HE WAS THE GET ENGAGED ONE,
SPECIFICALLY FOR USE.
IT WAS APPOINTMET TO A,
COUNCIL APPOINTED SEAT.
>> WHERE DOES MISTER JONES LIVE?
>> DISTRICT 3. THEY ARE NOTED
ON THE COVER SEAT.
>> IT AND SEE IT ON ANY OF THEM.
EXCEPT FOR MICHAEL'S, I CAN'T
SEE.
REGINA'S WAS LEFT BLANK.
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE
COVERSHEET, IT SAYS RESIDENTIAL
NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT THERE.
>> THE REASON WHY I AM ASKING
IS BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE
REPRESENTATIVE FROM D5 AND I
KNOW YOU HAVE AN OPEN SEAT SO I
WANTED TO SEE WHAT THE BALANCE
WAS.
I WANT TO GET SOME MORE PEOPLE
BECAUSE WE ARE AT 51% RENTERS
AND 49% HOMEOWNERS.
WE ARE LOOKING INTO LIGHT OF
DENSITY AND GROWTH.
WE HAVE A LOT OF RENTERS SO I
WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT
SEAT.
>> IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE
SOMEBODY FROM D5.
IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY IN MIND,
PLEASE LET US KNOW.
WE WILL KEEP A LOOKOUT.
>> I HAVE MY MOM.
WE DIDN'T READ THE ITEMS BUT I
WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE
APPOINTMENT 01262.

WILL COME TO THE FULL COUNCIL
ON MARCH 4, IS THAT RIGHT?
FOR CALVIN AND GINA, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO BE PRESENT AT THE FULL
COUNSEL ON MARCH 4, BUT IF YOU
WOULD LIKE, YOU WOULD BE MOST
WELCOME.
MY OFFICE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH
YOU ON THAT.
>> TO YOUR POINT, COUNCILMEMBER
JUAREZ, I AM LOOKING AT THE
DISTRICTS NOW.
