CALENDAR.
THE MASS MAJORITY WERE REFERRED
TO THE CITY COUNCIL WHICH WE
WILL HEAR ABOUT FROM RESPECTIVE
COUNCILMEMBERS THIS MORNING
WITH OTHER PIECES OF
LEGISLATION COMING FROM
UTILITIES OR LAND-USE AND NEVER
HAS COMMITTEES.
I EXPECT WE WILL RECEIVE NO
MORE THAN 20 MINUTES OF PUBLIC
COMMENT IN TOTAL THIS MORNING.
THAT IS ALL I HAVE THIS MORNING
FOR THE PRESIDENTS REPORT.
WE WILL MOVE DIRECTLY INTO A
PREVIEW OF TODAY'S CITY COUNCIL
ACTIONS AND REGIONAL COMMITTEES.
I WANT TO LET THE RECORD
REFLECT THAT WE HAVE BEEN
JOINED BY COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS.
WELCOME, COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
>> AS OTHERS JOIN I WILL MAKE
SURE TO NOTE THAT . IT LOOKS
LIKE WE HAVE JUST BEEN JOINED
BY COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD AS
WELL.
GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL MEMBER
HERBOLD.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> OKAY.
WE ARE ALREADY A PREVIEW OF
TODAY'S CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS,
COUNSEL AND REGIONAL
COMMITTEES.
I WILL CALL ON COUNCILMEMBERS
ESTABLISHED BY THE LOCAL FOR
CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.
THIS WEEK'S ROLL CALL ROTATION
IS AS FOLLOWS.
[ ROLL BEING CALLED ] AND THEN
I WILL CONCLUDE THIS AGENDA
DISCUSSION. COLLEAGUES, COUNCIL
MEMBER -- COUNCIL MEMBER
MOSQUEDA UNFORTUNATELY CANNOT
BE WITH US THIS MORNING BUT MY
UNDERSTANDING IS COUNCIL MEMBER
STRAUSS IS PREPARED TO PROVIDE
A REPORT ON HER BEHALF AND WE
WILL GO AHEAD AND STILL CALL ON
COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA WITH
THE UNDERSTANDING THAT COUNCIL
MEMBER STRAUSS WILL PROVIDE
HER REPORT ON HER BEHALF.
OKAY.
SO COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA'S
REPORT IS UP FIRST.
COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS, TAKE IT
AWAY.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL
PRESIDENT.
THERE ARE NO ITEMS ON THE
FINANCE AND HOUSING COMMITTEE
ON TODAY'S FULL AGENDA.
COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA WANTED
ME TO REPORT OUT TO REMIND OUR
COLLEAGUES THAT THIS WEEK, WE

BUDGET IDEAS AND HOW THEY WANT
TO INVEST IN OUR CITY TOMORROW,

MEMBER MOSQUEDA WILL SEND A
MEMO WITH ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION.
COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA ALSO
WANTED ME TO HIGHLIGHT THAT
SHE WILL BE DOING A RIDE ALONG
TOMORROW WITH SEATTLE FIRE
DEPARTMENT'S HEALTH ONE. HEALTH
ONE IS A LOW ACUITY PROGRAM.
IMAGINE A VAN WITH SOCIAL
WORKERS AND MEDICS TO BE ABLE TO
MEET THE NEEDS OF SEATTLE
RESIDENTS WITH ONE VAN.
IT IS A SUBURBAN.
RATHER THAN SENDING OUT A
MEDIC, FIRE ENGINE, AMR,
SENDING SOMEBODY TO THE
EMERGENCY ROOM OF THE HARBOR
VIEW ONLY TO BE RELEASED.
ALL OF THIS CAN BE -- SERVICES
CAN BE COMPLETED WITH OUR
HEALTH ONE IN ONE STOP RATHER
THAN UTILIZING ALL OF THOSE
OTHER RESOURCES SO COUNCIL
MEMBER IS EXCITED TO EXPAND
UPON THIS PROGRAM THIS YEAR.
I, COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS AM
EXCITED ABOUT EXPANDING UPON
THIS PROGRAM AS I WORK WITH
COUNCIL MEMBER BLACK SURE ON
ROLLING OUT HEALTH ONE AND
COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA WILL
SHARE HER REPORT TOMORROW
ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE WITH
HEALTH ONE.
THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO REPORT
FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER
STRAUSS.
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND
HOPE THAT COUNCIL MEMBER
MOSQUEDA'S LITTLE ONE FEELS
BETTER.
SHE WILL BE WITH US TODAY, THIS
AFTERNOON AT 2: 00 PM AND I
APPRECIATE HER SENDING HER
REPORT IN ADVANCE.
NEXT UP IS COUNCIL MEMBER
PEDERSEN.
GOOD MORNING.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL
PRESIDENT.
GOOD MORNING, CALLINGS.
BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF
OUR FALL BUDGET SEASON OUR
TRANSPORTATION AND UTILITIES
COMMITTEE WILL NOT MEET AGAIN
UNTIL WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2 .
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THE EXTRA
COMMITTEE MEETING ON FRIDAY,
SEPTEMBER 25.
THE ITEMS WE REVIEWED AND
RECOMMENDED DURING THE SPECIAL
MEETING ARE BEFORE US THIS
AFTERNOON AT OUR FULL CITY
COUNCIL MEETING.
SPECIFICALLY, ALL 5 OF THOSE
ITEMS ARE FROM SEATTLE CITY
LIGHT. AS YOU RECALL WE HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON FOUR
OF THOSE ITEMS WHICH ARE
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED
UNANIMOUSLY.
THAT WE DISCUSSED THE FIFTH
ITEM AND HAD A PRESENTATION ON
THE FIFTH ITEM WITH SEATTLE
CITY LIGHT.
THEY JUST NEEDED A FEW MORE
DAYS TO FINALIZE THAT BILL
WHICH IS NOW COUNSEL BILL
119902 ON TODAY'S AGENDA.
AND COUNSEL BILL 119 902
UPDATES THE CITY OF SEATTLE'S
ONE SITE ONE SERVICE POLICY SO
THAT CHARGING STATIONS AND
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC
VEHICLES CAN BE MORE EASILY
INSTALLED AFTER A PROPERTY
ALREADY HAS ELECTRICAL SERVICE.
THIS LEGISLATION SUPPORTS OUR
CITY'S GOALS TO ENCOURAGE THE
USE OF CLEANER ENERGY SOURCES
SUCH AS SEATTLE CITY LIGHTS
HYDROELECTRIC POWER, AND
RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES CAN
USE IT TO CHARGE ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLES.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER
PEDERSEN.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON
THAT REPORT?
>> HEARING NONE, WE WILL GO
AHEAD AND MOVE DOWN THE LINE.
NEXT UP IS COUNCIL MEMBER
SAWANT AND THEN WILL HEAR FROM
COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS ON HIS
REPORT.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER SAWANT, GOOD
MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.
úTHERE ARE NO ITEMS ON TODAY'S
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FROM THE
SUSTAINABILITY AND RETURN
SHERRY COMMITTEE WHICH HAD ITS
MEETING ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF
AGO BEFORE THE BUDGET
DISCUSSIONS BEGIN AND NOW THERE
ARE NO REGULARLY SCHEDULED
MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE UNTIL
AFTER THE BUDGET DISCUSSION IS
COMPLETE.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO
TOMORROW'S PUBLIC HEARING IN
THE CITY BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR
AND AFTER THAT I AM WORKING
WITH COMMUNIT ACTIVISTS AND
ORGANIZATIONS TO BUILD THIS
YEAR'S PEOPLE'S BUDGET MOVEMENT
AS OF EVERY YEAR AND THEY ARE
HOLDING THE BUDGET MEETING TOWN
HALL VIA ZOOM ON TUESDAY,
OCTOBER 20 AND I ENCOURAGE
EVERYONE TO ATTEND.
AMONG OTHER THINGS THE PEOPLE'S
BUDGET MOVEMENT IS A FORCE
FIGHTING TO DEFEND THE POLICE
BY AT LEAST 50% AS SEVEN OF THE
NINE COUNCILMEMBERS HAD
PROMISED TO SUPPORT AT THE
HEIGHT OF THE JUSTICE FOR
GEORGE FLOYD MOVEMENT.
THE MOVEMENT IS ALSO FIGHTING
TO STOP THE MAYOR'S PROPOSED
RECOMMENDED BUDGET CUTS WHICH
IN REALITY ARE WELL OVER $150
MILLION TO PARKS, LIBRARIES,
HOUSING AND THE GREEN MEETING.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER
SAWANT.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT REPORT?
HEARING NONE, WE WILL GO AHEAD
AND HERE NOW FROM COUNCIL

COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD.
>> GOOD MORNING, PRESIDENT AND
COLLEAGUES, NO USE FROM THE

ITEM FROM THE COMMITTEE ON THE
FULL COUNSEL TODAY. COUNSEL

THE NEXT MEETING AS COUNCIL
MEMBER PEDERSEN NOTED IS NOT
UNTIL AFTER THE BUDGET HEARING
SO THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING
IS DECEMBER 9 AFTER BUDGET AND
DISTRICT 6 LAST WEEK, ON SUNDAY,
I ATTENDED THE GROUNDBREAKING
FOR THE RD MERS LUTHERAN CHURCH
RENOVATION.
OUR REDEEMERS CHARGES ON 24th
AND 85th AND BOYLE HEIGHTS
NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY DO IMPORTANT PROGRAMS.
NOT ONLY DO THEY START THE FOOD
BANK IN SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHICH
RECENTLY BROKE GROUND THEY ALSO
HAVE SUPPORTED THE POWERED P
PATCH WHICH IS DONATING FIRST
PRODUCE TO THE POWERED FOOD
BANK SO THEY HAVE ENTERED INTO
AND FINALIZED AN AGREEMENT TO
SELL THE P PATCH TO CROW AND
THEN TO BE MANAGED BY THE
SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF
NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGH THE P
PATCH PROGRAM IN ORDER TO FUND
THE EXPANSION OF THEIR CHURCH
AND SO A BIG SHOUT OUT TO
PASTOR HAWKES WHO IS THE PASTOR
THERE AS WELL AS CINDY KRUEGER
WHO LIVED -- EFFORT TO SECURE
THE POWERED P PATCH IN
PERPETUITY AND SHE WAS ABLE TO
DO THIS WITHIN A YEAR DURING A
PANDEMIC AND DURING A
RECESSION.
SO ONE OF THE REASONS I
ATTENDED THIS GROUNDBREAKING IS
BECAUSE OF THE GREAT WORK THAT
OUR REDEEMERS DOES FOR THE
COMMUNITY AND I JUST WANT TO
FOCUS IN ON THAT THIS.
OUR REDEEMERS NOT ONLY COLLECTS
FOOD FOR THE FOOD BANK THEY
THEN STARTED THE FOOD BANK AND
THEN THEY SUPPORTED THE P PATCH
TO CONTINUALLY DONATE FIRST
PRODUCE OF THE FEEDBACK LOOP OF
PERPETUAL MOTION TO SUPPORT OUR
FOOD INSECURE NEIGHBORS IS JUST
ONE EXAMPLE OF THE MANY THINGS
THAT OUR REDEEMERS DOES.
THEY ALSO HAVE A SAFE LOTS
LOCATION, HOSTING BOY SCOUTS,
GIRL SCOUTS AND ALSO THE
EXPANSION WILL HELP THEM
PROVIDE CHILD CARE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT IS JUST I
AM VERY GRATEFUL TO ATTEND AND
SUPPORT THIS ORGANIZATION THAT
