>> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> YES.
PLEASE GO AHEAD.
>> HI EVERYBODY.
MY NAME IS JEFFREY HERMAN.
I'M THE MANAGING DIRECTOR AT
SEATTLE REP LOCATED ON
THE SEATTLE CENTER CAMPUS.
I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF
THE LEGISLATION
PROPOSED TO AMEND THE LAND USE
CODE FOR THOSE OF YOU
THAT DON'T KNOW, WE SERVE
MULTIPLE COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS AND MORE THAN
160,000 PEOPLE EACH
YEAR.
I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW ON THE
SIGNAGE PLAN, IT'S
BEEN SHARED WITH US.
WE BELIEVE THE PLAN WILL
BENEFIT SEATTLE CENTER AND
THE REP.
SPECIFICALLY WE BELIEVE THE NEW
SIGNAGE WILL WELCOME
PATRONS RETURNING TO THE WRAP
ON THE HEELS OF THE
PANDEMIC AND PETITION TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE ECONOMIC
BUILDBACK.
WE'RE GOING TO BE RETIRING 300
PLUS STAFF AND
ARTISTS OVER THE NEXT YEAR AND
RESUMING OUR ROLE IN
PROVIDING $27 MILLION IN LOCAL
BUSINESS ACTIVITY
EACH SEASON.
WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE
REFRESHED MODERN DESIGN PLAN
CONSISTENT WITH THE LOOK OF THE
ARENA.
WE SUPPORT THE USE OF
TECHNOLOGY AND DIGITAL SIGNAGE
TO REPLACE OUTDATED SIGNS AND
BANNERS.
IT WILL MAKE COMMUNICATIONS A
LOT MORE EQUITABLE.
OTHER TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
HAS BEEN A CONCERN IN
PARTICULAR FOR OUR PATRONS AND
RECENT YEARS.
WE'LL LIFT THE PROFILE OF THE
WHOLE CAMPUS AND
ENCOURAGE VISITORS TO RETURN.
IN SOME SEATTLE REP SUPPORTS
LEGISLATION.
I URGE YOU TO MOVE IT FORWARD.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU, JEFFREY.
>> GREAT.
NEXT WE HAVE LISTED SUN YANG.
ARE YOU ON THE LINE?
PLEASE TRY STAR 6.
>> HI CHAIR JUAREZ AND COUNCIL
MEMBER.
I'M THE BOARD CHAIR OF THE
SEATTLE CENTER FOUNDATION
ON BEHALF OF THE CENTER
FOUNDATION.
WE WANT TO EXPRESS OUR STRONG
AND FULL SUPPORT OF
THE SEATTLE CENTER SIGNAGE PLAN
AS AUTHORIZED AND
IMPLEMENTED BY COUNCIL BILL
120051.
LIKE THE SIGNAGE PLAN FOR
CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA, THIS
PLAN IS THOUGHTFULLY DONE AND
WILL BE A WONDERFUL
ENHANCEMENT TO THE CAMPUS
DISPLAYING A NAVIGATION
INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY USEFUL
FOR NEW VISITORS TO
THE SEATTLE CENTER.
YOU HEARD FROM THE PREVIOUS
SPEAKER THIS.
PLAN HAS BEEN SHARED AND
COMMENTED ON BY THE
ORGANIZATIONS AND BROADER
COMMUNITY.
WE APPRECIATE THEIR INPUT WAS
INCLUDED MAKING THE
PROPOSED PLAN TRULY REFLECTIVE
OF COMMUNITY DESIRES.
THE DESIGN IS CLEAN AND
CONTEMPORARY AND INTEGRATE
WELL WITH THE REFRESHED LOOK OF
CLIMATE MARIJUANA
ARENA.
EVERY INVESTMENT MADE NOW IS
BENEFICIALLY MAGNIFIED
GIVEN THE CHALLENGES THIS
PANDEMIC BROUGHT TO EACH
ORGANIZATION ON CAMPUS.
IT'S NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT TO
SAY MANY ARE FACES
CHALLENGES.
WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN
TO ENCOURAGE
VISITORS TO COME BACK TO THE
SEATTLE CENTER WHEN
THEY'RE COMFORTABLE AND MAKE
THEIR EXPERIENCE THE
BEST IT CAN BE.
REMOVING TIRED OLD BANNERS AND
SIGNS AND REPLACING
THEM WITH STATE OF THE ART
SIGNAGE WILL GO A LONG
WAY TO IMPROVE THE LOOK, FEEL,
EXPERIENCE OF EVERY
VISITOR.
THANK YOU CHAIR JUAREZ AND
COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR ALL
YOU DO ON BEHALF OF OUR BELOVED
SEATTLE CENTER.
WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
PRODUCTION INSULATION OF
SIGNAGE AND LOOK TOWARD TO
EVERYONE RETURNING TO THE
SEATTLE CENTER SOON.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU SUNG.
>> GREAT.
NEXT, WE HAVE JUSTIN CLARK.
IS JUSTIN ON THE KLINE?
>> YES, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> WE CAN.
PLEASE GO AHEAD.
>> GREAT.
THANK YOU.
MY NAME IS JUSTIN CLARK.
I'M THE CHAIR OF THE SEATTLE
DESIGN COMMISSION WHICH
AS YOU KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER
JUAREZ IS ONE OF YOUR
FAVORITE.
>> YES, MY FAVORITE OF
EVERYTHING.
>> WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
COMMISSION TO VOICE OUR
SUPPORT FOR THE BILL DESIGNED
REALLY TO CLARIFY AND
IMPROVE THE DISTRIBUTION OF
APPEARANCE AND FUNCTION
OF THE SIGNAGE WITHIN THE
CAMPUS.
COMMISSION HAS CONDUCTED TWO
REVIEWS OF THE PROPOSAL
PROPOSAL.
>> WE APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND
THE CONCERNS OF
DIGITAL MESSAGING.
IN 2019 WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS ISSUE RELATIVE
TO THE DIGITAL SIGNAGE NEAR THE
EW ARENA.
WE BELIEVE THE CURRENT PLAN
BALANCES THE NEED TO
PROVIDE AN UPDATED APPROACH
THAT MODERNIZES SIGNAGE
TO MESSAGE EVENTS TO THE PUBLIC
WITH A FOCUS
RESTRAINT ON DISTRIBUTION
THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS.
WE'RE ENCOURAGED BY THE RULE
DIGITAL SIGNAGE CAN
PROVIDE TO INCREASE THE
PRESENCE OF NONPROFIT
SPECIAL EVENTS AND BENEFITING
FROM THE CENTER.
WE DO BELIEVE THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS WILL RESULT IN
A PLAN THAT HELPS REDUCE THE
NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF
SOME OF THE OUTDATED AND
FLEXIBLE SIGNAGE THAT
REALLY HAD A LOT OF ISSUES AND
LIMITED FLEXIBILITY
OF CURE RATING EVENTS.
WE DO HAVE LINGERING CONCERNS
ABOUT THE NEED TO
BALANCE THE REALITIES AND
SPONTANEOUS RECOGNITION
WITH THE PROVISION OF
RECOGNITION THAT SERVES THE
PUBLIC.
WE LOOK TO THE SEATTLE CENTER
TO APPLY THAT.
TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF
RECOMMENDATIONS, I THINK I
HAVE A COUPLE SECONDS HERE.
WE DO HOPE THAT PUBLIC ART CAN
BE INTEGRATED INTO
THE SIGNAGE PLAN AS WELL AS
INTEGRATION WITH THE
FREE STANDING CAMPUS.
WE LOOK FORWARD.
>> YOU COULD HAVE LET HIM
FINISH.
>> SORRY ABOUT THE HOT HAND
THERE.
>> YES.
THANK YOU CHAIR CLARK.
IF YOU CAN PLEASE EMAIL THE
REST OF YOUR
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
COMMITTEE, THAT WOULD BE
GREAT.

WE HAVE MARIA ON THE LINE?
PRESS STAR 6.

DIDN'T TAKE.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD.
PLEASE GO AHEAD.
>> I'M MARIA BARIENTOS.
I'M ON THE CALL REPRESENTING
THE LAND USE COMMITTEE.
SEATTLE HAD TWO MEETINGS, A
PRELIMINARY MEETING TO
GET FEEDBACK THEN A LARGE
PUBLIC MEETING WE HOSTED.
WE INVITED FOLKS FROM BELL TOWN
AND A GOOD MIX OF
NEW RESIDENTS IN UPTOWN AND
NORTHERN BELL TOWN THAT
WAS HELPFUL TO GET THEIR
COMMENTS.
ALSO OLD -- I DON'T MEAN
THEY'RE OLD BUT RESIDENTS
THAT HAVE BEEN HERE A LONG
TIME.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
THERE WAS UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FOR
THE LEGISLATION.
WE FELT THE SEATTLE CENTER WAS
VERY THOUGHTFUL.
THEY RESPONDED TO OUR COMMENTS.
WE ACTUALLY HAD THEM CHANGE CON
ACCEPTS ON A COUPLE
SIDES.
WE WANTED THEM TO BE THE SAME
SIZE AND COLOR.
WE LOVE THE DIGITAL SIGNING.
WE THINK IT'S GREAT.
BOTH FOR VISITORS AND A LOT
MORE ACCESSIBLE TO
CURRENT ORGANIZATIONS.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS
WITH THE SPONSORSHIP
CONTRACTS OR IDEAS THAT MIGHT
COME UP.
OVERALL, WE THINK IT'S A WAY
BIGGER WAY TO FIND AND
WAY MORE CONTEMPORARY.
WE'RE SUPER SUPPORTIVE.
>> THANK YOU MARIA.
>> YOU MIGHT WANT PEOPLE --
YOU'RE QUICK ON THE
DRAW.
>> WE'VE GOT RULES TO FOLLOW.
>> OKAY.
WELL.
WITH THAT, WE'LL CLOSE THE

JUAREZ.
IT'S MY PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
I'M ASSISTED BY CAREY SMITH AND
GORDON CLOWERS FROM
SDCI.
I'M GLAD TO BE HERE AS WE LOOK

OUR FIRST -- GO TO OUR NEXT
SLIDE AND I'LL START.
I'M GLAD TO BE HERE TODAY AS WE
LOOK TOWARD TO
NORMALIZING OUR SIGNAGE PLANS
ON CAMPUS AND GETTING
LONG TERM PRACTICES ALINED WITH
THE LEGISLATION.
THE CAMPUS IS TRANSFORMED WITH
THE OPENING OF THE
ARENA AND THIS LEGISLATION IS
ONE PART OF THAT
TRANSFORMATION.
THE PROCESS OF CHANGING SAME
ARRANGE ON THE CAMPUS
BEGAN IN 2019 WITH YOUR
APPROVAL OF THE SEATTLE
CENTER SIGN OVERLAY DISTRICT.
THE SIGNAGE AT SEATTLE CENTER
MODERNIZED.
WE'RE HELPING MAKE THE
VISITOR'S EXPERIENCE
WELCOMING, INFORMATIVE,
SEAMLESS.
THE COUNCIL'S PART IN THIS
PROCESS IS VITAL THROUGH
YOUR APPROVAL OF THE ARENA
PROJECT, THE 2019 SIGN
OVERLAY DISTRICT AND YOUR
úRECENT APPROVAL OF
$8 MILLION IN BONDS USED TO
PURCHASE NEW SIGNS WITH
THE COST BEING REPAID THROUGH
THE USE OF THOSE
SIGNS.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
>>> WE ARE UPDATING THE SEATTLE
CENTER MAP TO ALIGN
WITH THE CONDITIONS ON THE
CAMPUS AS MENTIONED.
WITH THE SPECIAL NOTE
HIGHLIGHTING THE INCLUSION OF
OUR NEW SKATE PARK ON THE
FORMER BROAD STREET
BETWEEN THOMAS AND HARRISON
STREET.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT.
IT'S RIGHT ON THE EDGE.
>> NEXT SLIDE.
THE PROPOSED SIGN REGULATIONS,
THE CHANGES ARE
LARGELY ADMINISTRATIVE ALIGN
OUR CURRENT PRACTICES
WITH THE SIGN CODE.
I'LL CONTINUE TO AUTHORIZE
SEATTLE CENTER SIGNS ON
THE INTERIOR OF THE CAMPUS
CONSISTING WITH THE SIGNS
GUIDELINES APPROVED BY THE
ADVISORY COMMISSION.
THE PROPOSED SIGN CODE
AUTHORIZES TEMPORARY SIGNS
FOR EVENTS THAT MAY NOT BE
AUTHORIZED ELSEWHERE IN
THE CITY.
THE CRUCIAL PART OF THE SPECIAL
EVENT ATMOSPHERE
WITHIN THE CAMPUS THIS.
INCLUDES THINGS LIKE BALLOONS,
FLAGS, MOVIE SCREENS,
BANNERS, PORTABLE SIGNS.
THE SIGN REGULATION ALIGN THE
CAMPUS SIGNAGE PROGRAM
WITH ARENA SIGNAGE.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
>>> SDCI WILL CONTINUE TO
REGULATE SIGNS ON THE
PERIMETER OF THE CAMPUS AS WELL
AS SIGNS ON THE
INTERIOR DID NOT OWNED OR
MANAGED BY SEATTLE CENTER.
SIGNS CONTAINING SPONSORSHIP
CONTENT CONTINUE TO BE
ALLOWED ON CITY PROPERTY AND
OFF PREMESIS SIGNS
CONTINUE TO BE PROHIBITED.
NEXT SIGN, PLEASE.
>>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHILE
WE ARE MODERNIZING THE
SIGNS, WE ARE NOT CHANGING
POLICIES ABOUT WHAT AND
HOW WE PROMOTE OUR MESSAGING.
OUR SIGNS CONTINUE TO PROMOTE
TENANTS AND EVENTS.
WE'LL CONTINUE TO RECOGNIZE THE
SEATTLE CENTER
SPONSORS AND EVENT SPONSORS.
REVENUE WILL CONTRIBUTE $1.5
MILLION TO OPERATIONS.
SPONSORSHIP IS DIFFERENT FROM
ADVERTISING IN THAT WE
DECIDE HOW THE MESSAGE IS
PRESENTED RATHER THAN
DISPLAYING A SPECIFIC
COMMERCIAL DICTATED BY A
PAYING CLIENT, OUR VISUAL
RECOGNITION IS LIKE WHAT
YOU HEAR WHEN NPR THANKS
SPONSORS.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
THE SIGNAGE PROGRAM IS
DESIGNATED TO ELEVATE THE
EXPERIENCE FOR ALL VISITORS TO
SEATTLE CENTER AND
SUPPORT THE SUCCESS OF RESIDENT
ORGANIZATIONS AND
EVENTS.
NEXT SLIDE.
BY MODERNIZING THE SIGNS AND
INCREASING THE DIGITAL
TECHNOLOGY, TENANTS AND EVENTS
HAVE BEEN HIGHLIGHTED
ON ALL SIGNS ACROSS THE CAMPUS
IN A DYNAMIC WAY NOT
JUST A SIGN ASSOCIATED WITH
THEIR ORGANIZATION OR
STATIC TEMPORARY SIGN ON THE
GROUND.
WE CAN DO THIS WITH FEWER SIGNS
AND BANNERS,
DECLUTTERING OUR CAMPUS.
>> NEXT SLIDE.
THIS MAP SHOWS YOU THE LOCATION
OF CURRENT SIGNS AND
BANNERS ON CAMPUS.
WE HAVE A SYSTEM WITH A FEW
AGING DIGITAL SIGNS ON
THE PERIMETER OF THE CAMPUS
WITH STATIC SIGNS AND
BANALERS ON THE INTERIOR OF THE
CAMPUS.
THERE ARE ALSO WAY FINDING
SIGNS.
OUR STAFF CURRENTLY KEEPS THE
WAY FINDING
INFORMATION UPDATED AS VENUES,
ORGANIZATIONS, EVENTS
EVOLVE AND THE VINYL BANNERS
ARE UPDATED AND
REPLACED.
CHANGE IS A CONSTANT AT SEATTLE
CENTER.
THESE PHYSICAL SIGN UPDATES
TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND
CREATE A LOT OF WASTE.
YOU'VE MOVED TO THE NEXT SIGN.
THIS MAP SHOWS YOU ARE PROPOSED
SIGNS.
WE ARE UPDATING EXISTING SIGNS
AND INTRODUCING
TECHNOLOGY AS PART OF THAT
UPDATE WITH THE GOAL OF
MEETING THE EXPECTATIONS OF OUR
VISITORS.
A SMALL NUMBER OF SIGNS WILL BE
NEW EDITION.
I'M PROUD OF OUR ABOUT TO
ELIMINATE VINYL POLL
BANNERS AND REPLACING WITH 10
DIGITAL POLL BANNERS.
NOT ONLY WILL OUR SIGNAGE BE
DECLUTTERRED AND
CONSOLIDATED, WE'LL HAVE THE
ABOUT TO COMMUNICATE IN
AN EMERGENCY OR PUBLIC SERVICE
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
NEXT SIGN.
>> SOME KEY DETAILS OF OUR
PROGRAM ARE SEATTLE

LET'S DO THIS.
>> GREAT.
THANK YOU McGEE FOR PULLING
THAT UP.
COUNCIL MEMBER, WANT TO
APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERSHIP
WITH SDOT.
MAX JACOBS IS HERE FROM MAX PR.
THEY'RE GOING TO JOIN US.
AS YOU MENTIONED AT THE
OPENING, THIS IS ABOUT
REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR
PROPERTY TRANSFER BETWEEN
THE DEPARTMENT.
THERE WERE ERRORS IN
DOCUMENTATION THAT WAS
INTRODUCED A FEW WEEKS AGO.
COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE THE
SUBSTITUTE ORDNANCE AND
ATAMPMENT A IN THE PACKAGE
ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA.
IT'S JUST A PAPERWORK ISSUE.
SO THIS IS REALLY ABOUT
CLARIFYING OR ABOUT THIS
PROPERTY OF TRADE RELATED TO
WORK THAT SEATTLE IS
DOING IN THE GREEN LAKE AREA
AND CREATING THAT SWAP.
SO WE CAN JUMP INTO THE
PRESENTATION HERE.
SORRY.
I COULDN'T FIND MY SCREEN.
SO AGAIN, THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION HAS MADE
APROMPTS ALONG EAST GREEN LAKE
WAY.
WHEN YOU THINK OF WOODLAND
PARK, THE EASTERN MAKE
UNTRAN EASTERN PART WHERE
FIELDS ARE.
THERE'S A PARKING LOT AND GREEN
STRIP ALONG THE
EASTERN EDGE.
THE WORK THAT DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION HAS DONE.
WE'LL SHOW THAT IN THE NEXT
SLIDE REQUIRED UTILIZING
A SLITHER OF PARKS AND
RECREATION PROPERTY TO HELP
BRING THAT TO FRUITION.
>> IN EXCHANGE AS WE WENT
THROUGH THIS PROCESS,
WE'VE IDENTIFIED A PORTION OF
SETTLE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION PROPERTY THAT'S
IN THEIR
JURISDICTION.
WE'VE BEEN MAINTAINING IT ALONG
THE NORTH EASTERN
SIDE OF WOODLAND OR NORTH
WESTERN PARK NEXT TO THE
LAWN BOWLING PROPERTY THERE.
>> THERE'S A STRICT RIGHT OF
WAY THAT WILL REMAIN AS
PART OF DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION AND REMAINDER
GOES TO OUR JURISDICTION.
THAT'S THE LAND SWAP.
THE SLITHER ON THE EAST SIDE
FOR A LARGER PROPERTY
ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE.
IF YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE
McGEE.
THIS SHOWS YOU THE MULTI MODEL
PROJECT, DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION HAS BEEN
UNDERGOING FOR GREEN
LAKE.
IT REQUIRED THE USAGE OF THREE
FOOT SLITHER BETWEEN
50th STREET AND 57th STREET.
AGAIN, THIS IS THE SWAP.
ON THE FIRST PICTURE, IT SHOWS
THE SECTION WITH THAT
MULTI MODEL PROJECT.
THE IMAGE ON THE FAR RIGHT
SHOWS GREEN LAKE WITH THE
REST OF THE PROJECT SDOT IS
WORKING THROUGH ON THAT.
I'LL PAUSE TO SEE IF FRIENDS
FROM SDOT HAVE ANYTHING
SPECIFIC TO THEIR PROJECT.
>> ANYTHING FROM SDOT?
WE OKAY.
WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
THAT ANY COUNCIL
MEMBERS HAVE ABOUT THE PROJECT
AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT
IT ACCOMPLISHES OR WHAT IS DONE
AND WHAT WAS
FORMERLY OR WHAT IS CURRENTLY
JURISDICTIONAL
PROPERTY.
>> NOW THAT THE PRESENTERS ARE
DONE, AND WE'VE GONE
THROUGH THE POWER POINT --
I'M SORRY SAM.
I DID CUT YOU OFF?
>> THAT WAS ME.
>> THANK YOU.
I CUT HIM OFF.
I APOLOGIZE.
THERE'S ONE MORE SLIDE TO SHOW
YOU WEATHER AERIAL
IMAGES OF THE SWAP.
AGAIN THIS SHOWS THE TWO RED
LINES ON THE FAR LEFT
PICTURE THE TOP LEFT IS IN
EXCHANGE FOR THE BOTTOM
RIGHT.
THIS IS A THIN SLITHER ALONG
THE PARK.
SOME ZOOMING IN THERE.
I WILL SAY THE PROPERTY WE'RE
RECEIVING FROM SDOT IS
MUCH LARGER THAN THE PROPERTY
THAT THEY'VE TAKEN
FROM THIS.
WE HAVE 3200 SQUARE FEET WE'RE
GIVING UP.
WE'RE GETTING FROM THE PARKS
AND RECREATION UX ONE
AND A HALF ACRES OF LAND.
>> OKAY, GREAT.
AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN UP FOR
DISCUSSION.
COLLEAGUES, DO YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS YOU'D
LIKE TOLL ADDRESS TO OUR GUESTS
OR TO TRACY FROM
CENTRAL STAFF?
OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.
I'VE GOT TO DO THIS AGAIN.
IF THERE'S OBJECTION, I WOULD

COUNCIL RULES RELATED TO VOTING
ON A COUNCIL BILL

A RECOMMENDATION TODAY.

>> SO WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO
OUR AGENDA ITEMS 3
AND 4 NOW.
I'M GOING TO DO A QUICK
PREAMBLE.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THROUGH
THIS.
THESE ARE COMPANION ORDNANCES
OR BILLS.
COUNCIL BILL 120072 AND 120073,
THE FIRST BEING
FINAL ASSESSMENT RULE ON THE
LID AND BUN ISSUANCE,
THE FINANCING PIECE.
WHAT I UNDERSTAND TODAY IS I'M
GOING TO HAVE CLERK
READ ITEMS 3 AND 4 INTO THE
RECORD.
BECAUSE THEY'RE COMPANION
ORDNANCES, THEY'RE GOING
TO BE EXPLAINED TOGETHER.
WE'LL MOVE FORWARD.
McGEE, READ ITEMS THREE AND
FOUR TO THE RECORD.
WE'LL VOTE ON THEM SEPARATELY.
>> YES.
AGENDA ITEM 3, AN ORDNANCE
MODIFYING APPROVING,
CONFIRMING THE FINAL

CHAIR JUAREZ, OTHER WE'LL NOTE
I HAVE PULLED UP THE
PRESENTATIONS FOR BOTH AGENDA
ITEM 3 AND 4. ONCE EVERYONE IS
DONE INTRODUCING THEMSELVES,
I'LL
GO AHEAD AND SHARE MY SCREEN.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
I'M GLAD YOU READ THE FORMAL 3
AND 4 INTO THE
RECORD.
WE'LL GO THROUGH ITEM NUMBER 3
FIRST POWER POINT.
ITEM 4. I WOULD ASK MY
COLLEAGUES IF THEY DON'T MIND
TO ASK
THEIR QUESTIONS AFTER THE
PRESENTATION OF 3 AND
AFTER THE PRESENTATION OF 4. IF
THAT MAKES SENSE?
ANYONE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
THAT?
OKAY, GREAT.
WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD ERIC.
>> HI.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
ONTO COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF.
>> THIS IS GLENN LEE.
I'M WITH FAS.
>> I'M CHRISTIE.
I WORK WITH CITY PAPERS AS CITY
PAPERS MANAGER AND
FAS.
>> I UNDERSTAND ERIC YOU'RE
GOING TO KICK US OFF.
>> YES, PLEASE.
>> SO AS YOU SAID IN THE INTRO,
I'LL GIVE AN
OVERVIEW OF THE TWO BILLS.
THE FIRST BILL COVERS THE FINAL
ASSESSMENT ROLE F.
LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE
PLEASE McGEE.
THERE WE GO.
>> 120072 DEALS WITH THE FINAL
ASSESSMENT ROLE AND
THE COMPANION BILL.
IT WOULD APPROVE THE ROLE FOR
THE WATER DISTRICT.
ATHAT IS THE $168 MILLION LIMIT
ON LID PLUS
FINANCING.
IT WOULD ALLOW FOUR PAYMENTS
WITHIN THE FIRST 30
DAYS AND PUBLICATION AND
PAYMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS
OVER TIME.
IT WOULD HANDLE DELINQUENT
PAYMENTS AND PROVIDE
DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS FOR
DISADVANTAGED PROPERTY
OWNERS.
I'LL MOVE ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE,
PLEASE.
VERY BRIEFLY.
BECAUSE THE FOLKS FROM FAS WILL
TALK MORE IN-DEPTH
ABOUT THIS.
102-0073 AUTHORIZES THE SALE OF
THE WATER FRONT
BONDS TO PAY FOR THE COST AND
IMPROVEMENTS.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
THE WATER FRONT REVENUE, THE
$174.38 MILLION IS
ABOUT 49% OF THE TOTAL FUNDING
NECESSARY TO PAY FOR
ALL OF THE WATER FRONT LOCAL
IMPROVEMENTS DISTRICT
THAT TOTALS $750 MILLION.
THE OTHER SOURCES ARE CITY,
STATE OF THE ART,
PHILANTHROPIC SOURCES.
HERE'S THE LISTED.
SKATE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE WATER
FRONT PARK.
THESE ARE SPECIFIC PROJECTS
THAT ARE DEFINED IN THE
ORDNANCE THAT FORMED THE WATER
FRONT LOCAL
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.
ALL TOGETHER, THE COST OF THESE
IMPROVEMENTS IS
ABOUT 48% OF THE TOTAL COST OF
THE OVERALL WATER
FRONT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
SO YOU CAN THINK OF THESE AS
CASCADING DOWN.
SO THE TOTAL COST OF $737
MILLION PART OF THAT IS
WATER FRONT IMPROVEMENTS.
357 AND THEN FUNDING A PORTION
OF THAT ABOUT
174 MILLION AND SOME IS THE
LID.
>> I WANT TO POINT OUT IN YOUR
SUMMARY AND FISCAL
NOTE, ALL THAT IS LAID OUT IN
YOUR REFERENDUM.
TO THE BIGGER PICTURE, THE
PROJECT DOWN TO 160 PLUS
MILLION FOR THE LID.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YEAH.
APPRECIATE THAT.
OVERALL, I SHOULD HAVE SAID IN
THE BEGINNING BECAUSE
IT IS HELPFUL TO NOTE THE
MEMORIAL RANDOM I
PREPARED, I'M HIGHLIGHTING KEY
POINTS.
AS MENTIONED, THE PROCESS
FORFEITURE WATER FRONT
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT GOES
BACK A DECADE OR
MORE.
IT WAS ANTICIPATED FIRST IN
2011.
THAT ORDNANCE, THAT CREATED THE
CENTRAL WATER FRONT
IMPROVEMENT FUND.
IT'S THE FUND USED TO PAY FOR
IMPROVEMENT WATER
FRONT PROJECTS.
IT OFFERS AN INTERFUND LOAN
THAT COULD BE PAID FOR
AAT THE TIME.
IT WAS DESCRIBED AS A FUTURE
WATER FRONT IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT.
BETWEEN 2012-2018, A HIGH PASS.
MULTIPLE RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDNANCES WERE APPROVED.
THEY DID THINGS LIKE CONFIRMING
A FUNDING PLAN FOR
THE WATER FRONT WITH POTENTIAL
LID SUPPORT AND ALSO
YOUR FUND LOANS WITH REPAYMENT
FROM A POSSIBLE
FUTURE LID.
THINGS PICKED UP, MAY 2018 WHEN
THE CITY DECLARED
THE INTENT TO FORM THE WATER
FRONT LID WITH THE
RESOLUTION.
IN JULY, THE HEARING EXAMINER
TOOK UP THE HEARING ON
THAT FORMATION AND THEN
SEPTEMBER 2018.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
>>> AFTER CONSIDERING ALL THE
INFORMATION FROM THE
HEARING, THE CITY FORMED THE
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT.
THE IT WAS GIVEN A NUMBER 6751.
IT CREATED THE WATER FRONT
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT FUND AND AUTHORIZED A
SELL OF BONDS IN THE
FUTURE.
THE NEXT STEP THAT'S BEEN THE
ACTIVE CHAPTER IS
ACTUAL COMING UP WITH THE FINAL
ASSESSMENTS FOR THE
WATER FRONT LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT.
THE FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLE IS
LIKE IT SOUNDS.
IT IS LITERALLY THE LIST OF
PROPERTIES IN THE WATER
FRONT DISTRICT AND ASSESSMENT
AGAINST EACH OF THOSE
PROPERTIES.
THE EXAMINER CONDUCTED
HEARINGS, FILED INITIAL
REPORT ON THOSE.
ALL THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
THIS COMMITTEE HELD HEARINGS ON
ALL APPEALS THEN
RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF EACH
APPEAL AND APPROVED THE
FINAL ASSESSMENTS.
THAT BRINGS US UP TO DATE
PRETTY MUMP THE LAST
OFFICIAL ACTION BEFORE THE
MEETING NOW.
THAT WAS BACK IN APRIL 2021 WAS
THAT LAST ACTION.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
SO NEXT STEPS.
WE'RE LITERALLY IN ONE NOW.
IF THE COMMITTEE VOTES TO
RECOMMEND BILLS FOR
APPROVAL, THEY'D GO TO COUNCIL.
IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION
THERE WAS A TYPO IN
MY MEMO.
JUNE 17th IS NOT RIGHT.
IT WOULD BE THE 14th.
>>> THAT MONDAY.
THANKS TO THE CHAIR FOR
CATCHING THAT.
236 BILLS ARE RECOMMENDED OUT
OF COMMITTEE TODAY,
THE FIRST STEP IS ADOPT THE
FINDINGS, CONCLUSION,
DECISION DOCUMENT.
THAT'S THE WRITTEN RECORD OF
COUNCIL'S APPROVAL OF
FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLE AND THE
DECISION ON ALL THE
APPEALS.
THEN IN SEQUENCE, TO APPROVE
TWO BILLS.
FIRST ONE ENDING IN 72 AND ONE
ENDING IN 73.
WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE
QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT
HAVE.
>> SO COULD YOU GO THROUGH THE
LAST SLIDE, THE CLERK
FILE.
IF YOU CAN'T, THAT'S OKAY.
YOU BROUGHT UP THAT.
THAT'S THE FCD, THE FINDINGS,
CONCLUSIONS AND
DECISIONS.
MY UNDERSTANDING ERIC IF YOU
CAN FLESH OUT FOR THOSE
NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS AND KNEE
DEEP IN THIS FOR
QUITE A WHILE.
THAT CLERK FILED THE LIST EACH
APPEAL.
IS THAT CORRECT?
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> WAS THAT IN FRONT OF US IN
APRIL?
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> OUR APRIL COMMITTEE MEETING?
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> WE HAVE A NEW GUEST HERE,
ALANNA JOHNSON.
YOU ARE FROM -
>> I WORK WITH GLENN AND
CHRISTIE.
>> GREAT.
THANK YOU.
>> SO JUST BECAUSE IT'S EASIER
FOR ME TO KIND OF
HAVE THE DISCUSSION, I WOULD
LIKE PEOPLE NOW IF THEY
HAVE QUESTIONS OR FRIENDS FROM
FAS AND ERIC WORKING
ON THIS AND THE MEMO HE
PROVIDED.
THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO
ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT 3. YOU CAN
ASK WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH ITEM
4. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ERIC.
HE DID THIS IN HIS SIX PAGE
ANALYSIS.
THERE'S THREE PAGES STARTING
NOVEMBER 2011.
ALL OF THOSE ARE ONLINE.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THEM AND CLICK
ON THEM RIGHT UP FROM
NOVEMBER 2011 TO TODAY 2021.
THAT'S THERE TO REVIEW THE
CRINOLOGY.
HOW WE GOT TO THE PLAN, WHAT
THE FINDINGS WERE, THE
INITIAL, THE FINAL REPORT.
THE ISSUES, IT HAS 17 ISSUES
THAT WENT BACK TO THE
HEARING EXAMINER.
ALL THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE
LAST THREE PAGES OF HIS
NINE PAGE SUMMARY AND FISCAL
NOTE.
WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO ASK MY
COLLEAGUES IF THERE'S
ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT
THEY WOULD LIKE TO
RAISE AT THIS TIME OR ASK OF
OUR GUESTS REGARDING
ITEM 3 NOW.
>> OKAY.
HEARING NONE -
>> COUNCIL MEMBER JUAREZ,
COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS
RAISED HIS HAND.
>> I DIDN'T SEE IT ON HERE.
WHERE ARE YOU?
>> I'M OVER HERE.
>> YOU'RE NEXT TO ERIC.
THANK YOU MADAME, CHAIR.
I WANT TO ASK YOU A COUPLE
QUESTIONS.
I APPRECIATE THE INVITATION TO
COME AND DISCUSS THIS
LEGISLATION REGARDING THE LOCAL
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
IN DISTRICT 7. CERTAINLY I'LL
HAVE MORE COMMENTS WHEN IT
ARRIVES AT
FULL COUNCIL.
I WANT TO ASK A COUPLE
QUESTIONS, SOME OF WHICH WERE
ANSWERED IN THE PRESENTATION.
I DID WANT TO ASK, WHAT'S THE
BREAK DOWN IN TERMS OF
RESIDENTIAL VERSUS COMMERCIAL
PAIRS IN TERMS OF
CONTRIBUTION OR TERMS OF TOTAL
RAW NUMBER OR
ASSESSMENT OUT OF CURIOSITY?
>> THAT'S A NUMBER I DO NOT
HAVE IN MY HEAD.
OF ALL THINGS FILLING MY HEAD,
I DON'T HAVE THAT
HANDY.
PERHAPS THE FAS MAY HAVE THAT
NUMBER HANDY.
>> I CAN SPEAK TO THAT.
THERE'S OVER 6 MILLION IN THE
LID.
THE BULK ARE RESIDENTIAL
CONDOS.
80% OF THE TOTAL ASSESSMENT
DOLLARS COME FROM
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.
>> SO THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT
REPRESENTS 20% OF
THE REVENUE DESPITE MOST OF THE
RATE PAYERS?
>> YES.
>> THAT WOULD BE 20% OF $174
MILLION FIGURE?
>> YES.
>> OKAY.
>> I THINK THIS WOULD BE ONE
FOR ERIC.
IN TERMS OF THE PROJECTS THAT
ARE INCORPORATED IN
THE LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT,
HOW MANY OF THESE
PROJECTS ARE COMPLETELY NEW
INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENTS VERSUS
REFURBISHMENTS EXISTING ASSETS.
THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO
REFER TO THE SLIDE LIST
OF PROJECTS AS A WAY.
COULD WE TAKE A MOMENT?
>> THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
WE ASKED HIM TO PUT THAT IN
THERE, THE SIX PROJECTS.
>> YEAH.
>> IS THAT SLIDE TWO OR THREE?
THERE WE GO.
THE SO COUNCIL MEMBER, I'LL
MOVE THROUGH THE LIST
AND DESCRIBE THEM.
HOPE FRIDAYFULLY THIS WILL
ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
THIS WILL BE THE WALKWAY ALONG
THE NEW WAY ALONG THE
WATER FRONT.
ABSENT THESE IMPROVEMENTS,
THERE WOULD BE A NEW
ROADWAY THERE.
THE PROMINADE MAKES IT MORE
ROAD LIKE.
THERE'S BEEN A ROADWAY AS YOU
KNOW.
THERE'S BEEN A ROADWAY THERE.
THE PROMENADE IS IMPROVEMENT OF
WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE
BE THERE.
THE WALK WOULD BE A NEW
CONNECTION THAT COMES DOWN
FROM THE MARKET DOWN TO THE NEW
WATER FRONT PARK.
AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S WAYS TO
GET DOWN THROUGH
STAIRWAYS AND THAT SORT OF
THING.
THIS WOULD BE A BRIDGE-LIKE
SHELTER WITH VIEWS OF
THE WATER AND PUBLIC GATHERING
SPACES.
IT WILL ARCH OVER AND
INCORPORATE EXPANSION OF THE
AQUARIUM.
THERE'S DEFINITELY NEW FEATURES
TO THAT.
IN TERMS OF THE MOVEMENT OF
PEOPLE, THERE'S BEEN A
WAY TO WALK DOWN AND MAKE YOUR
WAY FROM MARKET DOWN
TO THE WATER FRONT.
NOTHING AS SUBSTANTIAL AS THE
WALK WOULD OFFER.
IT DOES NOT COMPARE.
FROM THAT POINT OF VIEW, THE
WALK IS NEW TO THE
SCENE.
ALL IMPROVE ON IMPROVING
INFRASTRUCTURE.
THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT.
IN THE PARK, THERE'S BEEN PARK
SPACE NOT QUITE LIKE
THIS.
THIS INVOLVES -- I SO MUCH
WANT TO REFER FOLKS TO
IMAGERY IN PICTURES AND
SCHEDULING OF THINGS ON THE
SEATTLE WATER FRONT WEBSITE.
THERE'S A LOT OF VISUAL
PICTURES I DIDN'T HAVE IN
THE SCOPE OF THE SLIDE.
THE WATER FRONT PARK DOESN'T
INTRODUCE A PARK TO THE
WATER FRONT.
WE HAVE HAD PARK SPACES DOWN
THERE.
IT WILL BE A SCALE THAT'S
NONEXISTENT BEFORE.
I'LL STOP THERE FOR A MOMENT.
>> THAT IS REALLY HELPFUL.
THE SCOPE OF QUESTIONS, I WOULD
ASK OF ANY LID
BEFORE THE COUNCIL.
I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT GIVEN
OUR OVERSIGHT ROLE.
I HEARD OF SCHEMES NOT
NECESSARILY ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS PROJECT AROUND USING LIDS
AS A POTENTIAL TO
REVENUE MECHANISM TO MAKE
REPLACEMENTS TO EXISTING
INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY.
FOR ME, IT WOULD NOT BE
EXISTENT WITH THE PURPOSE OF
LIDS WHICH IS MORE TO MAKE THE
ACQUISITION CREATION
OF NEW ASSETS AND NEW
IMPROVEMENTS RATHER THAN JUST
THE MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS OF
THE CITY.
I WANTED TO ASK QUESTIONS AS A
WAY OF UNDERSCORING
THIS IS A PROJECT THAT IS AIMED
TOWARD THE CREATION
OF NEW IMPROVEMENTS AND ASSETS
THAT WILL
CONSIDERABLY CHANGE THE BILL'S
ENVIRONMENT AND URBAN
LANDSCAPE OF THIS PARTICULAR
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS AT MOMENT RELEVANT
TO THIS INITIAL PART HERE.
THANK YOU.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> SO COLLEAGUES, IS THERE --
I KNOW THERE'S A LOT
HERE.
>> TOWNS MEMBER LEWIS, THANK
YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND
CON PITCH WATTS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY
CITY WIDE AS A REGIONAL
ASSET, STATE ASSET.
IT'S FOR ALL COMMERCE,
BUSINESS, CRUISE SHIPS,
PARKS.
IT'S A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN
GOING ON FOR A WHILE.
I THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENCE
AND INFORMATION TODAY.
I WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S
COMMENTS FROM COLLEAGUES
AND ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO
HEAR FROM OUR FRIENDS
FSS OR ERIC.
OKAY.
IN THE ENTER OF TIME JUST 234
THIS, I'M GOING TO GO
AHEAD AND MOVE TO, GO TO THE
VOTE.
ALL RIGHT?
OKAY.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER, I'M SORRY TO
JUMP IN AND
INTERJECT.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR FROM
FOLKS ABOUT ITEM 4.
>> I SWITCHED THAT UP.
I WAS TELLING MY STAFF.
I REALLY WANTED COUNCIL MEMBER
LEWIS TO GET HIS
QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
NOW I'D RATHER WE TAKE THE VOTE
NOW AND GO TO FOUR
AND THE PRESENTATION AND DO IT.
I APOLOGIZE F. I SHOULD HAVE
-- I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO GET A MESSAGE TO YOU.
>> IT'S FINE.
I WAS ASKING ON BEHALF OF FOLKS
FROM FAS.
I WAS CURIOUS.
THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THAT.
>> DON'T ANYONE GO ANYWHER.
THAT'S MY POINT.
OKAY.
>> I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE
FORWARD ON THIS.
HERE WE GO F. I MOVE THE
COMMITTEE RECOMMEND PASS

>> YEAH.
>> THIS IS REGARDING THE BOND
ISSUANCE, FINANCE
PIECE, SQUARING AWAY THE CODE
WITH THE RCW, THE 10
TO 20 YEAR PAYMENT AND HOW WE

AUTHORIZES THE SALE OF LID
BONDS SUBJECT TO PASSAGE OF
THIS LEGISLATION AND THE
FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLE WE EXPECT
THE LID BONDS TO BE
ISSUED THIS FALL.
ONE POINT I WANT TO MENTION IS
LID BONDS ARE
DIFFERENT THAN OTHER BONDS
AUTHORIZED BY THE COUNCIL
TYPICALLY IN THE BUDGET PROCESS
AND ROUTINELY ISSUED
BY THE CITY.
>> BONDS ARE NOT DIRECTLY
SECURED BY THE CITY'S FULL
FAITH IN CREDIT AS IS THE CASE
WITH OTHER GENERAL
OBLIGATION BONDS BUT RATHER LID
BONDS ARE SECURED BY
THE PROPERTIES IN THE LID AREA.
THEY'RE THERE FOR REAL ESTATE
ASSESSMENT MAX
SECURITIES.
SO I'D LIKE TO THEN TURN THIS
OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE
CHRISTIE BEADY TO SHARE MORE
HABIT THIS PARTICULAR
ORDNANCE.
CHRISTIE?
I THINK YOU'RE ON MUTE.
>> THANKS WHEN.
MY NAME IS CHRISTIE BEADY.
I'LL TAKE A MINUTE AND SPEAK TO
KEY POINTS SHOWN ON
THIS SLIDE HERE THAT ARE
CONTAINED IN THE BOND
ORDNANCE.
FIRST AS GLENN MENTIONED, THE
BOND ORDNANCE
AUTHORIZES THE ISSUANCE OF THE
BONDS.
SECONDLY, IT ACCOMPLISHES THE
MAXIMUM SIZE OF THE
LID BOND ISSUANCE.
THE AMOUNT OF BONDS ISSUED WILL
NOT EXCEED THE FINAL
ASSESSMENT RULE AMOUNT JUST
VOTED ON BY COUNCIL.
LESS ANY AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS
PAID TO THE CITY
DURING THE 30 DAY PREPAYMENT
PERIOD.
WE WANT TO TAKE A SECOND AND
TALK ABOUT THAT
PREPAYMENT PERIOD FOR A MINUTE.
PARTICIPANTS CAN PAY IN FULL OR
IN PART WITHOUT TIN
CURING INTEREST.
CHECK CHOOSE TO FINANCIAL OVER
TIME.
ANY BALANCE THAT REMAINS AFTER
THE 30 DAY PREPAYMENT
PERIOD ENDS WILL BE BILLED BY
THE CITY TO
PARTICIPANTS IN 20 AN YOU'LL
INSTALLMENTS BEGINNING
THE YEAR AFTER THAT 30 DAY
PREPAYMENT PERIOD.
ESSENTIALLY THE LID BOND
ISSUANCE IS THE VEHICLE FOR
PROVIDING THAT FINANCING OPTION
FOR THOSE THAT
CHOOSE TO PREPAY.
>> THIRD THIS LEGISLATION
PROVIDES A FORMULA FOR
DETERMINING THE INTEREST RATE
PAID BY THOSE CHOOSING
TO ASSESSMENT.
>> WE ANTICIPATE IT TO BE LATER
THIS YEAR.
DID LEGISLATION ADDRESSES THIS
ISSUE BY ESTABLISHING
FORMULA FOR DETERMINING THAT
INTEREST RATE.
WE WANT TO NOTE THIS IS FOR A
COUPLE DIFFERENT
REASONS SOMEWHAT OF AN UNUSUAL
LID BOND INSURANCE IN
PART BECAUSE THE SIZE OF THE
LID BOND OR LID ITSELF
IS QUITE LARGE COMPARED TO
OTHER LIDS.
IT'S ALSO UNIQUE FOR LID BONDS.
WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW THIS
WILL -
>> I'M GOING TO STOP YOU REALLY
QUICK.
FOR PUBLIC AND FOR OUR
COLLEAGUES ON THE 20 YEAR TO
PAY THE FIRST TEN YEARS IS
INTEREST CAN YOU FLUSH
THAT OUT MORE?
>> YES, EXACTLY.
THE INTEREST DOES ACCRUE DURING
THAT TIME.
IT EVENTUALLY IS DUE ON THE
FULL PRINCIPLE AMOUNT.
IT PROVIDES A LITTLE BIT OF AN
EASIER PATHWAY INTO
THE PAYMENTS FOR THOSE FIRST
TEN YEARS.
THE AMOUNT IS LOWER.
IT REPRESENTS INTEREST ONLY.
BEGINNING IN YEAR 11 THEN, THE
PRINCIPLE AMOUNT OF
THE FULL ASSESSMENT IS DIVIDED
INTO TEN INSTALLMENTS
IN THE SECOND TEN YEARS OF THE
20 YEAR INSTALLMENT
PERIOD.
THEREFORE, THERE WOULD BE A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
THE ASSESSMENT AMOUNT DUE IN
YEAR 11.
THAT WOULD REPRESENT ONE TENTH
OF THE PRINCIPLE
AMOUNT DUE IN THE TEN YEARS
RATHER THAN BEING SPREAD
OVER 20 YEARS.
THERE'S NOT A REQUIREMENT TO
PAY THAT AS AND ONLY IN
THE FIRST TEN YEARS.
IT WILL ONLY BE BILLED AT THAT
AMOUNT.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO TOUCH A
LITTLE BIT ON HOW THE
BILL ENDING IN 73 ALSO TALKS
ABOUT HANDLING
DELINQUENT PAYMENTS AND
DEFERRAL PAYMENTS FOR
DISADVANTAGED AS WELL?
>> DO YOU WANT TO TOUCH ON THAT
NOW OR UNTIL THE
END?
>> YOU CAN WAIT UNTIL THE END.
>> THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
>> I WANT TO MENTION AS
DESCRIBED IN THE SLIDE THE
LEGISLATION PROVIDES A FORMULA
FOR ESTABLISHING DEBT
SERVICE FUND.
IT'S REQUIRED FOR LIDS.
IT'S IS A FUND THE CITY MAY
DRAW ON IN THE EVENT
ANNUAL INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS
MADE BY PARTICIPANTS ARE
NOT SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE DEBT
SERVICE DUE BY THE
CITY.
IT ACTS AS A RESERVE AND
SECURITY FOR INVESTMENTS.
WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
>> GLENN TOUCHED ON THAT A
LITTLE BIT.
MAYBE YOU CAN REINFORCE THIS.
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO
KNOW WHY THESE ARE NOT
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND
WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT IN
PROTECTING THE CITY'S TREASURY
AND BUDGET.
>> SURE.
WE HAVE MICHAEL VAN DYKE ON THE
CALL WHO'S THE CITY
DEBT MANAGER.
ESSENTIALLY THE LIDs ARE A
DIFFERENT FINANCING
MECHANISM.
THEY'RE UNIQUE IN THAT THEY ARE
BACKED BY THE
PROPERTIES WITHIN THE LID.
THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM BONDS.
THEIR INVESTMENT IS BACKED BY
THOSE PROPERTIES.
IN THAT WAY, A LIEN IS PUT ON
PROPERTIES IN THE CASE
OF EVERY LID AT THE TIME THAT
THE LID IS IMPLEMENTED
FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLE.
>> WOULD THE LID HAVE THE SAME
IT RATING AS CITY OF
SEATTLE, AAA?
>> NOT NECESSARILY.
THE LID BONDS STAND ALONE AS A
SEPARATE ISSUANCE.
WE'RE BACK AND HAVE THE
STRONGEST RATING AMONG THE
CREDIT AGENCY.
THAT PROVIDES THE CONTEXT FOR
THE CITY.
EACH BOND RATE AS GOOD REVIEWED
INDEPENDENTLY AND
RATED INDEPENDENTLY.
SO YES TO EMPHASIZE THAT, THE
CITY CONTAINS IF
STRONGEST BOND RATING AVAILABLE
FROM RATING
AGENCIES.
>> WE CAN LOOK FOR JUST A
MOMENT.
IN TERMS OF THE TIMELINE TO
TOUCH ON A COUPLE KEY
STEPS THAT WOULD FOLLOW.
TODAY WE'RE PRESENTING WITH A
POSSIBLE VOTE BY THE
COMMITTEE JUNE 14th.
THIS WOULD BE IN FRONT OF THE
FULL COUNCIL FOR A
POSSIBLE VOTE.
ASSUMING PASSAGE AT THAT POINT
IN LATE JUNE, WE
EXPECT THAT SDOT WOULD FILE THE
FINAL ASSESSMENT
RULE WITH THE CITY CLERK.
THAT'S A STEP CONSISTENT.
AT THAT POINT, WE EXPECT IN
EARLY JULY FAS AND
SPECIFICALLY FAS TREASURY WOULD
NOTIFY PARTICIPANTS
OF THE 30 DAY PREPAYMENT PERIOD
THROUGH MAILING
PAYMENT NOTICE TO EACH
PARTICIPANT AND PROVIDING
NOTICE IN THE DAILY JOURNAL OF
COMMERCE.
THAT 30 DAY PREPAYMENT PERIOD
WOULD END IN MID
AUGUST.
THAT ESSENTIALLY WOULD BE THE
POINT IN WHICH THE
CITY WOULD DETERMINE THE AMOUNT
OF LID BONDS BASED
ON PREPAYMENTS THAT WERE
RECEIVED.
LATE OCTOBER THEN, THE CITY
WOULD TELL LID BONDS WE
APE.
THAT WOULD ALLOW PROCEEDS TO BE
AVAILABLE TO THE
CITY IN EARLY NOVEMBER.
>> SO IF THE SCHEDULE CHANGES
THIS, WOULD BE POSTED
ON THE WATER FRONT OR BOTH
WATER FRONT AND -
>> YES.
WE WANT TO KEEP THE WATER FRONT
WEBSITE UP TO DATE.
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A GOOD
SOURCE FOR
INFORMATION.
THE INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS WILL
ONLY BE MADE THROWN
THROUGH THE PREPAYMENT NOTICES
THAT WILL BE SENT
INDIVIDUALLY BY MAIL.
>> OKAY.
>> AND WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE
MY COMMENTS.
I WILL TURN OVER TO ALANA TO
SPEAK A BIT ON THE
DEFERRAL OPTION THAT IS
AVAILABLE THROUGH SMC.
>> ESSENTIALLY THERE'S A COUPLE
TYPES OF DEFERRAL
OPTIONS.
THE STATE REALLY HAS THE ROBUST
DEFERRAL PROGRAM.
IT'S TIED TO THE SAME PROGRAM
PEOPLE CAN DO FOR
PROPERTY TAXES.
THEY HAVE A PROGRAM FOR
SENIORS, LOW INCOME
INDIVIDUALS.
THE STATE PROGRAM ESSENTIALLY
PEOPLE CAN DEFER THEIR
ASSESSMENTS FOR THE LIFE OF THE
LID.
EVEN POTENTIALLY LONGER THAN
THAT.
IT'S VERY LONG TERM.
I NEED TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY
TO SUBMIT THE PROPER
PAPERWORK.
THE CITY PROGRAM IS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT.
THE STATE LAW ALLOWS THE CITY
TO HAVE A DEFERRAL
PROGRAM.
WE DO.
THIS IS MUCH MORE OF AN
EMERGENCY DEFERRAL PROGRAM.
YOU CAN REALLY ONLY DEFER UP TO
TWO YEARS OR AT
LEAST THAT'S THE AMOUNT OF THE
YEARS THE LEAN WOULD
BE ON THIS DEFERRAL FROM THE
GUARANTEE FUND.
SO THE CITY DEFERRAL PROGRAM IS
JUST KIND OF LIKE IN
ADDITION TO THIS STATE PROGRAM
THAT ALREADY EXISTS.
>> ALL DEFERRED ASSESSMENTS
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE
CARRY INTEREST.
YOU DEFER THEM AND ALSO PAY
INTEREST ON THE AMOUNT
YOU DEFER.
IT WOULD BECOME DUE AT THE END
OF THE TERM THAT'S
DEFERRED.
>> OKAY.
>> SO IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
FROM ERIC OR PRESENTERS
BEFORE I MOVE TO ASK MY
COLLEAGUES WHAT QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS THEY MAY HAVE
REGARDING ITEM 4?
>> NO THANK YOU.
ALL SET.
>> I DON'T SEE COUNCIL MEMBER
LEWIS.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M NOT
MISSING.
THERE HE IS.
I'M SURE MY OFFICE WILL GET
CONSTITUENT OPTIONS IN
THE FUTURE.
IS THERE ANY KIND OF SUPPORT
AND VISION FOR
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THAT MIGHT
POSE A HARDSHIP?
I CAN IMAGINE IN SOME CASES OF
THE RESIDENTIAL
ASSESSMENTS THAT THERE MAY BE
FOLKS ON FIXED INCOMES
OR MAYBE WANT TO PURSUE
DEFERRAL BUT THEY FEEL
THEY'RE SETTING THEMSELVES UP
FOR FAILURE.
IT'S GOING TO ACCRUE THE
INTEREST AND CREATE ANOTHER
HARDSHIP OR BURDEN.
THEY MIGHT BE PENALIZED
ESSENTIALLY FOR NOT BEING
POSITIONED AS THEIR NEIGHBORS
THAT PAY IN A LUMP SUM
UP FRONT FOR EXAMPLE.
IS THERE ANY KIND OF SUPPORT
CURRENTLY ENVISIONED OR
IS THAT SOMETHING THE COUNCIL
COULD MAYBE PURSUE
OVER NEXT SEVERAL YEARS GIVEN
THIS IS A FINANCING
SCHEME WE'RE GOING TO BE PAYING
OFF SEVERAL DECADES
I'M SURE FOLKS WILL TALK TO US
ABOUT IT IF IT IS AN
ISSUE.
>> WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NOW.
THE STEP WE DID TAKE TO
ALLEVIATE CONCERNS IS STEP
TO STRUCTURE THE PAYMENTS AND
STRUCTURE THE BOND
DEBT SERVICE AROUND INTEREST
ONLY THE FIRST TEN
YEARS.
THAT WAS INTENDED TO BRING DOWN
THE PAYMENT AMOUNTS.
AT THIS POINT, THERE'S NOT ANY
ACTION IN PLACE NOW
TO MOVE BEYOND THE DEFERRAL
OPTIONS BY THE CITY AND
STATE.
>> I'M SORRY.
>> PROPERTY OWNERS INCLUDE THE
NONPROFITS WE SPOKE
TO OR CONTACTED US.
THE NONPROFITS IN THE LID AREA,
CORRECT?
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS, I CUT
YOU OFFER.
GO AHEAD.
>> NO PROBLEM MADAME CHAIR.
I SHOULD HAVE WAITED TO BE
RECOGNIZED FOR A FOLLOW
UP.
NO WORRIES.
I'LL PROBABLY HAVE SOME
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OFF
LINE IN THIS AREA.
I APPRECIATE THAT CONVERSATION.
AS WE NOTED EARLIER WAS THEFT
OF THE TOTAL WITH
ASSESSMENT.
I DO PROBABLY HAVE SOME
ADDITIONAL THINGS I'LL TALK
TO FOLKS ABOUT.
WE CAN DO THAT OFF LINE.
>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS WE WANT
TO PUT TO ERIC FROM CENTRAL
STAFF OR FRIENDS FROM FS
AND FRIENDS FROM DIKE THAT'S
JOINED US?
>> SEEING NONE, I'M GOING TO
MOVE FORWARD ON THIS.
I MOVE THE COMMITTEE RECOMMEND
TO PASS COUNCIL BILL
73.
IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THERE'S BEEN A MOTION MOVED
AND SECONDED.
WILL THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL?
[ROLL CALL]
>> THAT'S FOUR IN FAVOR, NONE
OPPOSED.
>> MOTION SECONDED.
NO OPPOSED. OKAY.
SO LET'S GO TO OUR LAST PIECE
ON THE AGENDA.
THAT CONCLUDES ITEMS OF
BUSINESS.
ALL ITEMS PASSED OUT OF THIS
COMMITTEE WILL BE
FORWARDED TO MONDAY JUNE 14th
FOR THE FULL CITY
COUNCIL MEETING.
COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS, I LOOK
FORWARD TO DISCUSSING
ISSUES OFF LINE.
YOU CAN CONTACT ERIC AND OTHER
FOLKS AND FRIENDS
GLENN AND TEAM FROM FAS.
THE NEXT PUBLIC ASSETS AND
COMMUNITIES MEETING
SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY JULY 9th
AT 2:00.
WITH THAT, WE STAND ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU EVERYBODY.
