THANK YOU COUNCIL PRESIDENT

SOUND REGIONAL COUNCIL A COUPLE

FOR THE WEST
SEATTLE BRIDGE.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER
PETERSON FOR THAT.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS ON THE BILL?
COMES A MEMBER?
>> THANK YOU KAI WOULD LIKE TO
ECHO COUNCIL MEMBER PETERSON FOR
THE APPRECIATION OF THE VOTE,
THEN THE BANKS AS WELL.
THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER
PETERSON FOR BEING THE SPONSOR
OF THIS BILL.
I WANTED TO PROVIDE MORE DETAIL
ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF THE
FUNDING.
$2 MILLION OF THE FUNDING
IDENTIFIED TO CONDUCT WHAT IS
BEING CALLED A TYPE, SIZE, AND
REPLACEMENT STUDY STUDY FOR THE
WEST SEATTLE BRIDGE.
IT DOES NOT MEAN WE HAVE DECIDED
THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTION WE
ARE PURSUING BETWEEN THE
OPTIONS OF REPLACE AND REPAIR.
IT GETS FUNDING IN PLACE TO DO
THAT WORK.
IF THAT DECISION IS MADE, WE
HAVE THAT PERMISSION. THE
REMAINING AWARD WILL BE USED TO
SUPPORT THE DEMAND MANAGEMENT
PROGRAMS THAT RESPOND TO THE
WEST SEATTLE BRIDGE ENCLOSURE.
PROVIDING ALTERNATIVES FOR
SINGLE OCCUPANCY VEHICLE TRIPS
BETWEEN WEST SEATTLE AND
DOWNTOWN. FOR WEST SEATTLE
RESIDENTS I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE
THAT THE STAFF MEMO NOTES
SPECIFICALLY THAT THE FUNDING
RELATED TO THE TYPE, SIZE, AND
LOCATION STUDY ALLOWS FOR THE
EXPLORATION OF REPLACEMENT
CONCEPTS SUCH AS REBUILDING THE
BRIDGE, OR IMMERSING TO THE
TUNNEL, WOULD BE THE BASIS FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF
ALTERNATIVES AND DEVELOPING
COST ESTIMATES, IT IS A GREAT
INTEREST FOR WEST SEATTLE FOR
THE IMMERSED TUNNEL, IT IS NOT
A BOARD OR DRILL TUNNEL.
IT IS
DRILLED OFF-SITE AND DROPPED
INTO THE WATER.
I WANT TO KNOW THAT WE WERE
FORWARD THINKING ENOUGH TO
INCLUDE THE CONCEPT AS ELIGIBLE
FOR FUNDING ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TYPE, SIZE, AND LOCATION STUDY.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS?
EXCELLENT, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND
MOVE ALONG.
IT WAS MY PLEASURE TO ADVOCATE
ALONGSIDE THE MAYOR FOR THESE
ADDITIONAL FLEXIBLE DOLLARS.
LOOKING AT THE SCOPE OF WORK,
WE REALLY APPRECIATE THIS BILL
COMING FORWARD SO THAT WE CAN
BEGIN THIS CRUCIAL
INFRASTRUCTURE WORK AND
ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE WORK
FOR THE RESIDENTS OF WEST
SEATTLE.
AGAIN I WANT TO REMIND FOLKS
THAT THE WEST SEATTLE BRIDGE IS
CRITICAL TO MOBILITY FOR THE
REGION.
INCLUDES THOSE WHO COME HERE
AND DO NOT LIVE IN WEST
SEATTLE.
IT
IS SO KEY TO THE REGION
STRATEGIES AROUND MOBILITY AND
SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES
FROM A BROAD PERSPECTIVE. NOT
JUST YIELDING BACK, IMPACTING,
FOR EXAMPLE, COUNCIL MEMBER
MIRELES, IN THAT DISTRICT IN
ADDITION TO THOSE WHO RELY ON
THE WEST SEATTLE BRIDGE, THOSE
WHO MAY NOT FIT IN WEST SEATTLE.
I'M PROUD TO SUPPORT THIS BILL
AND EFFORTS AT THE REGIONAL
LEVEL TO NEED TO ADVOCATE FOR
ADDITIONAL DOLLARS THAT MIGHT
BE AVAILABLE TO US, TO REALLY
GET THIS REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR
DONE IN THE MOST EXPEDITIOUS
WAY POSSIBLE.
IF THERE ARE NO OTHER COMMENTS
OF THE BILL, I WOULD ASK THAT

CUSTOMER WAREZ, YOU ARE THE
PRIME SPONSOR RECOGNIZED IN
ORDER TO ADDRESS IT
>> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT
GONZALES.
I WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF
BACK RENT AS THE FOLKS WHO
CALLED IN THIS AFTERNOON HAD
MENTIONED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
YEARS THAT MONEY TRANSFER
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE FOUND IT
RECENTLY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE
SAFELY.
THAT IS BECAUSE OF WHAT IS
CALLED DE- RISKING, WHERE BANKS
GO THROUGH TERMINATING
RELATIONSHIPS WITH CERTAIN
ACCOUNT ORDERS, BECAUSE OF WHO
THEY DEEMED TO BE HIGH-RISK.
THIS IS PARTICULARLY AFFECTING
SIMONE LEE NEIGHBORS.
IT IS A PROCESS THAT STARTED
AFTER 911.
AND SOCA THERE ARE CERTAIN
AMOUNTS OF DISCRIMINATION THAT
SEEM TO BE HAPPENING AS WELL.
WE KNOW THAT THE ACCOUNTS OF
SOMALI AMERICAN MONEY TRANSFER
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN CLOSED
AFTER HAVING
DEVASTATING IMPACTS ON OUR
SOMALI NEIGHBORS.
IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG
TIME AND IT IS STILL CONTINUING
TO BE AN ISSUE. BANKS HAVE
APPLIED TO RISKING ANY
DISCRIMINATORY MANNER DENYING
SMALL REMITTANCE COMPANIES BANK
ACCOUNTS WHILE CONTINUING TO
SERVE LARGER OPERATORS.
THE RESOLUTION CALLS ON THE
WASHINGTON STATE JUST LET YOUR
CAP SPECIFIC LEAVE THE SENATE
FINANCIAL FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS, ECONOMIC DEVELOP
AND ENTRY COMMITTEES, AND THE
HOUSE CONSUMER COMMITTEE TO
STUDY THE BETTER OPTIONS TO SIT
OR LEGISLATIVE INCLUSION OF
THESE ENTITIES TO THE CONTENT
CONTINUE TO OPERATE AND SERVE
THE COMMUNITY.
I DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE OFFICE
OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS,
THEY ARE THERE THAT THIS IS ONE
OF THE LEGISLATIVE CITY
RARITIES ALREADY AND THEY ARE
WORKING WITH THE COMMITTEE
CHAIRS.
I URGE
YOUR SUPPORT OF THE RESOLUTION
FOR FINANCIAL INCLUSION FOR OUR
SMALLEY NEIGHBORS.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER
COHEN ARE THERE ANY OTHER
COMMENTS ON THE RESOLUTION?
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD AND KSHAMA
SAWANT?
>> I WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL
MEMBER FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON
THIS ISSUE.
I AM GLAD TO HEAR CONFIRMATION
FROM YOU, AS A MEMBER.
THAT OIR HAS IDENTIFIED THIS AS
A PRIORITY FOR THE NEXT
LEGISLATIVE SESSION WHEN I WAS
CONTACTED BACK IN MAY ABOUT
THIS ISSUE.
I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED OER AND
REQUESTED THAT THEY ADD THIS
ISSUE TO BE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
AND WORK WITH THEM ON THIS, I
AM GLAD TO GET INFORMATION THAT
IT IS IN THE WORKS.
I APPRECIATE IT.
>> KSHAMA SAWANT?
>> THANK YOU, I AM HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THIS RESOLUTION
TO BE IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE
INFRASTRUCTURE TO ALLOW ME TO BE
MEMBERS IN THE SEATTLE AREA,
AND OF COURSE
I WAS EXTERNALLY SUPPORTIVE OF
THE RESOLUTION IN 2015, AND
ENDS PART OF THIS MONEY
TRANSFER AND RESEARCHER.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH OF A BACK IS
FOR THE FINANCIAL SYSTEMS OF
UNITY AND THE COLONIAL WORLD.
THE BANKING INDUSTRY AND THE
LAWS THAT REGULATE THEM ARE
DOMINATED BY THE BIG BANKS.
THEY ARE NOT MORE INTERESTED IN
MEETING THE FINANCIAL NEEDS OF
OUR BECAUSE THEY ARE AMONG THE
EXPLOITERS OF THE COMMUNITIES
THAT NEED HELP FOR BIG BANKS
INVEST IN FOSSIL INDUSTRIES.
AT THE STATE GOVERNMENT WE WILL
NOT ALLOW THAT.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IN
ALLIANCE WITH THE INDIGENOUS
URBAN AND NEGATIVE COMMUNITIES,
THE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST
COMMUNITIES, THAT WE MAKE
STRIDES TOWARDS THAT.
WE NEED TO KEEP MAKING
PROGRESS.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT
THINKING IN THE CITY OF
SEATTLE.
BIG BANKS SELL ADJUSTABLE-RATE
MORTGAGES.
ADDITIONALLY FORECLOSING ON
THOSE HOMES, BIG BANKS AND
FINANCIAL SUBPRIME AND
PRELIMINARY LENDING.
90% OF SUBPRIME LIMIT ORANGES
WERE ADJUSTABLE-RATE. 10
MILLION HOMEOWNERS LOST THEIR
HOMES TO FORECLOSURE SALES.
THIS IS THE LARGER CONTEXT,
AFFECTING ORDINARY PEOPLE AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND THOSE
WHO WERE FORECLOSED IN THE WAKE
OF 2007, 2008, IT WAS
PREDOMINATELY BLACK HOUSEHOLDS
AND LATINO HOUSEHOLDS THAT WERE
IMPACTED. BIG BANKS ARE NOT
INTERESTED IN HELPING THE LEAST
AFRICAN AREAS OF SEATTLE AND
SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES.
THE SMALLER SERVICES ARE
LOOKING AT THIS WORK THAT IS
NEEDED, THEY ARE NOT GIVEN THE
AUTHORITY AND PROTECTIONS THAT
ARE GIVEN TO THE BIG BANKS.
MY STAFF MEMBER HAS MET WITH
THEM TO DISCUSS THIS.
I'M VERY HAPPY TO LOOK AT THIS
MOVING FORWARD ON THE STATE
LEVEL. I WANT TO THANK
JONATHAN FOR SUGGESTING AMONG
THOSE THAT WORK ON THE STATE
LEVEL, WE ARE TRULY HOPING IT
WILL HAVE A REAL IMPACT
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER
THOSE REMARKS AS WELL ARE THERE
OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS
RESOLUTION?
OKAY SEEING NONE, I WILL MAKE
SURE THE COUNCIL MEMBER WILL
GET A LAST WORD IN I WANT TO
ALSO ECHO MY THANKS,
COUNCILMEMBER COHEN FOR YOUR
WORK AND ADVOCACY IN THIS
SPACE.
IT IS AN ISSUE THAT IS VERY
NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. WE
HAVE AN ORGANIZATION CALLED ONE
AMERICA ONE OF THE LARGEST
ORGANIZATIONS IN THE STATE THAT
IS MULTICULTURAL,
MULTIGENERATIONAL, MULTIRACIAL,
AND CHAMPION SO MANY AMAZING
POLICY REFORMS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AND HERE IN SEATTLE
LOOKING AT ISSUES AS IT RELATES
TO CURRENT POPULATIONS, THEY
ADVOCATE FOR SYSTEMIC
SUSTAINABLE CHANGE.
IS 70 WHO COMES FROM FAMILY AND
STILL HAS FAMILY ABROAD, I
PERSONALLY UNDERSTAND THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING ABLE TO
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
ISSUE A REMITTANCE.
WHEN YOU ARE LIMITED TO DOING
THAT, THE BANKS BASED UPON
RACIST POLICIES THAT HAVE BEEN
INCREMENTED AND ENFORCED BY OUR
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN
AMERICA, IT MAKES IT REALLY
DIFFICULT FOR IMMIGRANTS LIVING
IN COUNTRY WHO ARE ALREADY
ENDURING SO MUCH IN TERMS OF
FAMILY SEPARATION.
AND HAVING THE BURDEN OF
CONTINUING TO PROVIDE FOR
FAMILIES IN THEIR HOME
COUNTRIES.
IT IS
SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO CONTINUE
TO TAKE A REALLY STRONG POLICY
POSITION ABOUT HOW IT IS FOR US
TO SOLVE FOR THESE REALLY
SIGNIFICANT POLICY ISSUES THAT
HAVE BEEN TACKLED BY THE STATE
I APPRECIATE YOUR ONGOING
ADVOCACY AND SPONSORSHIP OF
THIS RESOLUTION AND I AM
LOOKING FORWARD TO SPONSORING
IT I WILL HAND IT TO YOU AND WE
WILL CALL ROLL ON THE PASSAGE
