JUAREZ WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED THE
PRESENTATION, THEN I WILL OPEN
THE FLOOR FOR COMMENTS AFTER WE
HEAR FROM OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS,
WE WILL SUSPEND THE RULES TO
ALLOW OUR GUESTS TO ACCEPT THE
PROCLAMATION AND PROVIDE
COMMENTS.
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, I WILL
HAND IT OVER TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL
PRESIDENT.
WELCOME.
IF THIS WAS EVER A TIME TO DO
AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT ABOUT WHO WE
ARE AS INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, IT
WOULD BE NOW.
I WANT TO START, I HOPE MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY, I KNOW THE
SNOQUALMIE NATION HAS THE
PROCLAMATION WRITTEN BY THE
FAMILY, BEFORE I GO INTO MY
WRITTEN SCRIPT, I JUST WANT TO
SAY A FEW PERSONAL THINGS ABOUT
ANDY BEFORE WE BEGIN, THE
PROCLAMATION, WHICH IS TWO
PAGES, CAN NEVER CAPTURE ALL
THE GREAT THINGS AND HE DID
BESIDES WORKING FOR FEDERAL
RECOGNITION FOR HIS TRIBE, WE
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ON
THAT, BESIDES MAKING SURE HE
PROTECTED THE SNOQUALMIE FALLS,
AND I WAS WITH ANDREW FOR THREE
TAKEOVERS, INCLUDING CASCADIA,
AND HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE 70s
AND HE WAS THERE WHEN WE TOOK
OVER FT.
LAWTON.
HE WAS A MENTOR OF MINE AND A
DEAR FRIEND, I CANNOT TELL WHAT
HE DID, WORKING WITH RAMONA
BENNETT, BERNARD JOE, VERNA
JOE, ROXANNE FINNEY, AND YOURS
TRULY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS
ABOUT ANDY, IT IS BURIED WAY AT
THE BOTTOM, HE WAS ONE OF OUR
VERY FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN
JOURNALISTS, AND WHAT WE CALL
THE GANG OF FOUR.
HE WAS CERTAINLY A FORCE, AND
HE WAS A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE.
I AM NOW GOING TO READ THE
PROCLAMATION, NOT TO
PROCLAMATION, JUST THE EXCERPT
AND GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THE
LEADERSHIP AND THE FAMILY TO
SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THIS AMAZING
MAN.
THIS PROCLAMATION WAS WRITTEN
BY CHIEF ANDY'S FAMILY AND
MEMBERS OF THE SNOQUALMIE
TRIBE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL
TRIBUTE SO THAT WE CAN HONOR
HIM THROUGH YOUR WORDS.
CHIEF ANDY WAS BORN FEBRUARY
15th, WE WILL DEDICATE EVERY
YEAR OF THE DAY FEBRUARY 15th
TO BE CHIEF ANDY DAY.
I WILL CLOSE BY READING AN
EXCERPT FROM THIS PROCLAMATION.
FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE
SNOQUALMIE TRIBE AND NATIONALLY
BELOVED INDIGENOUS CIVIL RIGHTS
LEADER, PAST JANUARY 21st, 2021.
HE WAS KNOWN AFFECTIONATELY AS
CHIEF ANDY, HE WAS A
COMPASSIONATE, TIRELESS
ACTIVIST WHO DEDICATED OVER A
HALF A CENTURY OF HIS LIFE TO
FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS OF ALL
TRIBAL NATIONS, SAFEGUARDING
THEIR CULTURE AND HISTORY, AND
PROTECTING THE SACRED.
DUE TO HIS ADVOCACY AND CIVIL
LEADERSHIP, HIS CONTRIBUTIONS
WILL LONG OUTLIVE THIS
GENERATION.
HIS KIND AND UNWAVERING VOICE
FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE WILL
ALWAYS LIVE ON AS AN
INSPIRATION AND CALL TO ACTION.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND
THE CITY OF SEATTLE CITY
COUNCIL WILL PROCLAIM FOR VERY
15th, 2021 AND EVERY YEAR
HENCEFORTH ON THAT DAY,
FEBRUARY 15th, TO BE CHIEF ANDY
DAY.
WITH THAT, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I
WILL HAND IT OVER TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS FROM ANY OF THE OTHER
COUNCILMEMBERS?
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I MADE A
MISTAKE.
I JUST REALIZED ON MY SCRIPT, I
APOLOGIZE, I WAS GOING TO
SWITCH IT UP.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I
STATED THE GUESTS, AND I
BELIEVE BOB, IF I MISS ANYBODY,
HE WILL FOLLOW UP, THESE ARE

LEADERSHIP TO MAKE THE HONORED
GUESTS AND FAMILY ARE BOB DAY
LOS ANGELES, CHIEF ANDY'S
BROTHER, STEVE, COUNCIL VICE
CHAIR, GABE, CHIEF ANDY'S SON,

DAUGHTER.

CURRENT AND FORMER MEMBERS OF
SNOQUALMIE TRIBAL COUNCIL, PAT
WORKER, SUZANNE'S ALITO, JULIE
WILLIAMS, MARLEY, SHAWNA
MARTINEZ, CHRIS CASTLEBERRY,
BILL SUITE, MELINDA, I HOPE I
SAID THAT RIGHT, AND MICHAEL
ROSS.
WITH THAT, IF I MISSED
ANYTHING, I AM SURE BOB WILL
CORRECT ME.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
>> OF COURSE, NOT A PROBLEM.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM ANY
OF THE OTHER CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS?
I AM NOT SEEING ANY HANDS
RAISED, SO, I'M GOING TO MOVE
TO SUSPEND THE RULES.
IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION,
COUNCIL RULES WILL BE SUSPENDED
TO ALLOW CHAIRMAN BOB TO ACCEPT
THE PROCLAMATION AND PROVIDE
REMARKS.
HEARING NO OBJECTION, THE
COUNCIL RULES ARE NOW
SUSPENDED, WELCOMES SO MUCH TO
THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING, WE
ARE VERY PLEASED TO HAVE YOU
HERE IS OUR HONORED GUEST, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED IN ORDER TO
PROVIDE REMARKS.
TAKE IT AWAY.

COUNCILMEMBER SUZANNE,
COUNCILMEMBER JOLENE WILLIAMS,
AND OUR CHIEF, PAT BARKER.
THANK YOU AGAIN.
THIS PROCLAMATION, CHIEF ANDY
DAY IN THE CITY OF SEATTLE, IS
A HUGE HONOR TO HIM.
MY BROTHER GAVE HIS LIFE TO
ENSURING THE SNOQUALMIE INDIAN
TRIBE CAN RECEIVE RECOGNITION
FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WE
ALSO SPENT MANY YEARS
PROTECTING HISTORICAL AND
CULTURAL SITES.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT SEATTLE IS
PART OF OUR ANCESTRAL HISTORY,
AND HE NEVER GAVE UP IN TELLING
THAT STORY.
I KNOW HAVING A DAY IN HIS NAME
WOULD MAKE HIM SO PROUD.
HE LOVED SEATTLE AND ALL THE
MEMORIES HE BILLED WORKING IN
AND AROUND THE CITY.
HE OFTEN DID THIS WORK WITHOUT
RECOGNITION OR THANKS.
SO, THIS PROCLAMATION IS A
FITTING ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THAT
WORK.
I ACCEPT THIS PROCLAMATION ON
BEHALF OF HIS FAMILY AND THE
SNOQUALMIE INDIAN TRIBE.
WE SINCERELY LOOK FORWARD TO
CELEBRATING AND SHARING CHIEF
ANDY DAY WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS,
AND THE TRIBE.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIRMAN,
AND ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
COUNCIL WHO ARE WITH US TODAY
AND ALL THE FAMILY MEMBERS, WE
REALLY APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO
SHARE THE SPACE WITH YOU.
I DO WANT TO HAND IT BACK OVER
TO COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ FOR
ANY CLOSING REMARKS.
>> AND YOU COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I
AM JUST GOING TO END ON A
PERSONAL NOTE, THOSE OF YOU WHO
LOOK AND WATCH SEATTLE CITY
COUNCIL NOTICED THAT I HAVE A
BLANKET ON MY CHAIR, WHICH IS
CUSTOMARY IN INDIAN COUNTRY.
THE BLANKET ON MY CHAIR IS A
GIFT FROM CHIEF ANDY, EVERY
TIME A NEW BLANKET CAME OUT, I
GOT A BLANKET, AND THAT IS WHAT
SITS ON MY CHAIR IN SEATTLE
CITY COUNCIL.
AS YOU ALL KNOW, THAT GIFT,
WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT, I
HONOR THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE HERE
, WE UNDERSTAND WHY WE DO AN
INDIGENOUS ACKNOWLEDGMENT, IT
IS NOT A CHECKLIST, IT IS NOT
EVERYONE PROFITS INDIGENOUS
PASSPORT OR TWO EVERY THING IS
OKAY, IF IT WAS, THEY WOULD
HAVE TO GIVE BACK ELLIOTT BAY.
WHAT IT IS IS A RECOGNITION
THAT WE ARE A GUEST ON YOUR
LAND AND WE THANK YOU AND I'M
GOING TO GET A LITTLE
EMOTIONAL, BECAUSE, LIKE I
SAID, I KNEW ANDY SINCE I WAS
PROBABLY ABOUT 12 OR 13, HE WAS
MY BASEBALL COACH AS WELL.
I THINK HE WOULD BE SMILING AND
SO HAPPY AND SO PROUD THAT THIS
GREAT CITY, WITH THIS GREAT
NATION, ARE CELEBRATING AND
HONORING HIM TODAY.
SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
AND COLLEAGUES.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING
US AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER
THE PROCLAMATION AND FOR
SIGNING IT UNANIMOUSLY THIS
MORNING.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR GUESTS FOR
BEING WITH US, WE REALLY
APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE, ONCE
AGAIN, AND WE --
>> CAN I ADD ONE LAST THING?
I, I HAVE BEEN A SOCIAL WORKER
IN CHILD WELFARE AND WITH OUR
TRIBE AND PUBLIC SECTOR FOR 30
YEARS AND WORKED WITH ANDY, AND
I THINK THAT IS A PART OF
ANDY'S WORK THAT SOMETIMES GETS
OVERSHADOWED BY A LOT OF THIS
OTHER GREAT STUFF HE DID, BUT
ANDY PROTECTED INDIAN CHILDREN
FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS, AND
THAT WAS A GREAT PART OF HIS
WORK, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT
MEANT A LOT, MEANT EVERYTHING
TO HIM.
HE WORKED DILIGENTLY AND HARD
TO PROTECT, TO PROTECT CHILDREN
AND MAKE SURE THEY WERE SAFE.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT,
APPRECIATE IT.
OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING WITH US THIS AFTERNOON,
WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
MOVE INTO THE NEXT ITEM OF
BUSINESS, I DO APPRECIATE YOUR
PRESENCE TODAY, AND LOOK

INTRODUCTION AND REFERRAL
CALENDAR, I WANT TO THANK
EVERYONE FOR THEIR ONGOING
PATIENCE AND COOPERATION AS WE

IT REMAINS THE STRONG INTENT OF
THE CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE REMOTE
PUBLIC COMMENT REGULARLY
INCLUDED, HOWEVER, AS A
REMINDER, THE CITY COUNCIL DOES
RESERVE THE RIGHT TO AND THESE
PERIODS AT ANY POINT IF WE DEEM
THIS SYSTEM IS BEING ABUSED OR

EFFECTIVELY.
I WILL MODERATE THE PUBLIC

T SPEAK.
I WILL CALL ON EACH SPEAKER BY

THE PUBLIC COMMENT LINK IS ALSO

OR, TO: 42 P.M., OR UNTIL WE
RUN OUT OF CALLERS TO CALL
UPON.
SO, THE FIRST SPEAKER IS HOWARD
GAIL FOLLOWED BY ROBIN BRIGGS.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
COMMENTING ON CONTINUING POLICE
ABUSE AND FAILED
ACCOUNTABILITY.
NATIONAL, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE,
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, SAN
FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, LONG
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, SONOMA
COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, NEWARK, NEW
JERSEY, PORTLAND, OREGON,
COLUMBUS, OHIO, CELTIC CITY,
UTAH, ATLANTA, GEORGIA,
HONOLULU, HAWAII, PHILADELPHIA,
PENNSYLVANIA, AND PITTSBURGH,
PENNSYLVANIA.
THESE ARE 14 OF THE MANY CITIES
THAT HAVE RECENTLY ESTABLISHED
LAST POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY,
BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF 100%
CIVILIAN INVESTIGATION, POLICY
DEVELOPMENT, AND DISCIPLINE.
ALL OF THESE SYSTEMS HAVE COME
OUT IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS VIA
CITIZEN INITIATIVE, BECAUSE
POLITICIANS IN THESE PLACES
FOUND IT FAR EASIER TO VIRTUE
SIGNAL THAN TO ACT WITH VIRTUE.
IN 2017, SEATTLE WAS ALREADY
OUT OF STEP WITH CITIES LIKE
NEWARK, NEW JERSEY WHEN WE
PASSED A CRIPPLED VERSION OF
POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY
LEGISLATION.
FOUR YEARS LATER, A SEATTLE, WE
ARE NOW OUT OF STEP WITH 14 AND
GROWING CITIES AND COUNTIES
ACROSS THE U.S. SEATTLE'S
PRETENSE OF HELPING POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY HAS BLOCKED ANY
HOPE OF JUSTICE FOR THE PEOPLE
HORRIBLY ABUSED BY THE SPD OVER
THE LAST YEAR, AND FOR THE
FAMILIES AND LOVED ONES OF THE
29 PEOPLE KILLED BY THE SPD
SINCE JOHN T WILLIAMS.
FURTHER, THE COUNCIL'S LACK OF
ACTION WILL GUARANTEE MORE
DEATH BY SPD IS THE MENTAL
HEALTH AND HOMELESSNESS CRISES
WORSEN.
MORE POLICE ABUSE IN THE MONTHS
TO COME AS BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTESTS ARE SURE TO RESUME.
WITH THE DEATH OF WASHINGTON
STATE HOUSE BUILT A FEW WEEKS
AGO, THE FIGHT FOR CIVILIAN
CONTROL THE POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY IS NOW IN
HANDCUFFS YET.
IF OUR ELECTED LEADERSHIP RUNS
FROM THIS FIGHT, LET THERE BE
NO DOUBT THAT THE PEOPLE OF
SEATTLE WILL NOT.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, NEXT UP IS ROBIN
BRIGGS FOLLOWED BY JIM STREET.
WELCOME.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> WE CAN, GO AHEAD.
>> MY NAME IS ROBIN BRIGGS, I
AM TESTIFYING ON BEHALF OF
PEOPLE FOR CLIMATE ACTION
SEATTLE.
THIS IS ABOUT THE RESOLUTION
31999, WHICH IS ABOUT HOW TO
SPEND THE FEDERAL FUNDS.
SO, WE REALLY WELCOME THE
PRIORITIES THAT ARE OUTLINED IN
THE RESOLUTION AND CLARITY THEY
BRING.
WE WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT
THE COUNCIL ALSO CONSIDER AN
ADDITIONAL PRIORITY, WHICH IS
SUSTAINABILITY.
ALL OVER THE WORLD, THIS HAS
BEEN A KEY THEME FOR BUILDING
BACK THAT WE NEED TO DO IT AND
WITH IT TAKES THE CLIMATE INTO
ACCOUNT.
WE SHOULD DO THE SAME THING
HERE IN AN INTENTIONAL WAY.
WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THE
MODAL TRANSPORTATION AND
TRANSIT, PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN
USED TO WALKING AND BIKING A
LOT, LET'S NOT GIVE THAT UP AS
WE RECOVER, BUT GIVE EVERYONE
SPACE TO MOVE.
I THINK WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO A
LOT MORE OUTDOOR RESTAURANT
SPACE.
I AM ALSO REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO RIDING THE BUS AGAIN
FOR NONESSENTIAL TRIPS.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LET ME
SUGGEST WEATHERIZATION AND
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS.
WEATHERIZATION PAYS DIVIDENDS
AND DECREASED COST AND
DECREASED EMISSIONS.
IF WE ARE GOING TO ELECTRIFY
OUR BUILDINGS AND
TRANSPORTATION, FOR SURE, WE
WILL NEED MORE ELECTRICIANS.
LET SOME OF THOSE FOLKS BE OUR
YOUTH WHO ARE NEEDING JOB
OPPORTUNITIES.
WE URGE YOU TO HIGHLIGHT THE
ACTIONS THE CITY IS TAKING
TOWARDS ADDRESSING OUR CLIMATE
EMERGENCY AND ASK
SUSTAINABILITY TO LIFT THE
PRIORITIES AND RESOLUTION
31999.
LIKE YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING IT
TODAY.
NEXT UP IS JIM STREET FOLLOWED
BY MAURICE.
WELCOME.
JIM, IF YOU ARE WITH US,
REMEMBER TO HIT STAR SIX.
I AM NOT HEARING HIM. IS HE
STILL WITH US?
WE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME
HEARING YOU, MAYBE YOU CAN
START, YOU CAN PRESS STAR SIX
ONE MORE TIME, AND MAKE SURE IT
IS STAR NOT FOUND.
ALL RIGHT, I AM STILL NOT SEEING
HIM COME UP ON MY SCREEN HERE.
LET'S MOVE DOWN THE LIST, AND
WE WILL CIRCLE BACK IN A
MOMENT.
HOPEFULLY BY THEN THE
DIFFICULTIES WILL HAVE RESOLVED.
>> I AM FROM THE 43rd DISTRICT
AND THE FOURTH COUNCIL DISTRICT.
I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO SPEAK
ABOUT RESOLUTION 3199.
THE USE OF FEDERAL FUNDS IS TO
HOLD BACK BETTER, AND THAT, FOR
ME, MEANS A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY
AWARE CITY.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL DISPARITIES
FROM UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
SHOWS THAT THE AREA IS ALL
ALONG OUR MAJOR FREEWAYS,
ESPECIALLY AROUND THE PORTS,
HAVE THE MOST HEALTH
DISPARITIES WITHIN OUR CITY,
AND THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE
POLLUTION THERE, WHICH IS
CLIMATE CHANGE POLLUTION, FROM
ALL OF THE TRUCKS AND TRAFFIC,
AND ALSO POLLUTANTS WHICH ARE
ACROSS ASTHMA AND OTHER LUNG
DISEASES, WHICH ARE OBVIOUSLY,
WHEN YOU HAVE A PANDEMIC LIKE
COVID-19, GOING TO BE WORSE FOR
PEOPLE WHO HAVE THAT EXTRA
EXPOSURE TO THOSE DIESEL FUMES.
PART OF THE FUNDS SHOULD GO TO
CLEANING UP THE AIR POLLUTION
AROUND THE PORTS.
THIS WILL MAKE US MORE
RESILIENT AND MUCH MORE FAIR
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AROUND
THE PORTS.
THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO
MAKE THEM CLEANER, AND ALSO USE
BIOFUELS, WHICH ARE CLEANER.
ALSO CLEAN BUILDINGS, WE NEED TO
, THE FUNDING IS FULL, THERE
ARE DEADLINES FOR THE
BUILDINGS, ESPECIALLY LOWER
INCOME RESIDENTS.
THIS WILL ALSO IMPROVE INDOOR
AIR POLLUTION, WHICH WILL ALSO
HAVE A BENEFICIAL EFFECT FROM
AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND
DISPARITIES PERSPECTIVE.
THE OTHER THING THAT IS SUPER
IMPORTANT IS TO HAVE REALLY
GOOD INTERNET ACCESS FOR
EVERYBODY, THIS WILL REALLY
IMPROVE OUR RESILIENCY AND MAKE
THE CITY MUCH MORE FAIR, PEOPLE
WITH GOOD INTERNET ACCESS AND
REDUCE VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED,
AND INCREASE EQUITY WITH
SCHOOLING, MEDICAL INFORMATION,
LOOKING FOR WORK.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING IT
TODAY, LOOKS LIKE WE DID LOSE
JIM STREET FROM OUR CALL LIST,
WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO THE
LAST PERSON I HAVE SIGNED UP,
WHO IS SPEAKER NUMBER SEVEN.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.
>> I'M CALLING BECAUSE THE
AGENDA ITEM REGARDING
SURVEILLANCE AND THE FUNDING.
EVERY CITY COUNCILMEMBER HAS TO
BEGIN TO INCORPORATE THE
ABILITY OF VOICES IN POLITICS,
BECAUSE CHILDREN DON'T HAVE THE
RIGHT TO VOTE JUST YET, THERE
IS MASSACHUSETTS THAT JUST
RECOGNIZED POLYAMOROUS PEOPLE,
YOU ALL COULD DO THAT AND YOU
COULD LEARN ABOUT HOME RULE.
THAT ALSO INCLUDES CITY COUNCIL
ACROSS THE NATION INCLUDING SO-
CALLED LIBERAL SEATTLE,
LOWERING THE VOTING AGE TO 16,
AND THERE SHOULD BE NO VOTING
AGE AT ALL, IF WE WANT TO LOWER
IT TO 12 OR ZERO, THAT WOULD BE
MORE FAIR.
THAT WRAPS UP MY PUBLIC
COMMENT, HOWEVER, DEFUNDING THE
POLICE IS ALSO ESSENTIAL TO
CHILDREN'S RIGHTS, LET'S NOT
PRETEND LIKE THE POLICE ARE NOT
IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS AND
MILITARIZING OUR CHILDREN, I
MEAN, THEIR CHILDREN, CHILDREN
DESERVE TO SPEAK FOR
THEMSELVES.
THAT WRAPS UP MY COMMENT.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING IT
TODAY.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE
SIGNED UP FOR PUBLIC, TODAY,
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE
OUT THE PERIOD OF PUBLIC
COMMENT, AND WE WILL MOVE TO
OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.
FIRST UP IS PAYMENT OF BILLS,
WHILE THE CLERK PLEASE READ THE
TITLE.
>> CB 120019 , FOR THE WEEK OF
MARCH 8, 2021 THROUGH MARCH
12th 2021, AND PAYMENT THEREOF.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND MOVE
TO PASS COUNTABLE 12001 NINE.
IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED,
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS?
HEARING ON, WILL THE COURT
PLEASE CALL ROLE ON THE PASSAGE
OF THE BILL?
>> MORALES.
>> YES.
>> AND 16.
>> AYE.
>> PEDERSEN.
>> AYE.
>> SAWANT.
>> YES.
>> STRAUSS.
>> YES.
>> HERBOLD.
>> YES.
>> JUAREZ . COUNCILMEMBER
JUAREZ.
LEWIS.
>> YES.
>> PRESIDENTS GONZALEZ.
>> AYE.
>> EIGHT IN FAVOR, AND
UNOPPOSED.
>> THE CHART WILL SIGN IT, WILL
THE COURT PLEASE AFFIX MY
SIGNATURE ON MY BEHALF.
ITEM 1, WILL THE CLERK PLEASE
READ THE SHORT TITLE OF ITEM
ONE INTO THE BUCKET.
>> THE FINANCE AND HOUSING
COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM 1,
COUNSEL BILL 120019.
THE 2021 BUDGET INCLUDING THE
2021 THROUGH 2026 CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT GRANT.
>> COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA, YOU
ARE THE CHAIRMAN, I'M GOING TO
HAND IT OVER TO TO WALK US
THROUGH THIS REPORT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR INPUT
ON THIS ITEM.
JUST AS A REMINDER, THIS IS OUR
RESOLUTION THAT OUTLINES THE
PRINCIPLES IN OUR PRODUCT --
BROAD SPENDING THAT IS COMING
FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN
ACT.
AS SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS SAID
RECENTLY, THIS IS THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATION FOR
WORKING PEOPLE THAT HAS BEEN
PASSED IN DECADES.
SAYING?
THIS LEGISLATION DOES, HE
COMMENTED ON THE FACT THAT THIS
LEGISLATION ADVANCES PRIORITIES
IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WE HAVE
IGNORED FOR FAR TOO LONG.
NOTING THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT
HIGHEST RATES OF CHILD POVERTY
OF ANY MAJOR COUNTRY ON EARTH,
AND THIS LEGISLATION EXPANDS
TAX CREDITS AND LOWERS
CHILDHOOD POVERTY IN AMERICA BY
UP TO 50%.
THIS LEGISLATION SAYS THAT IN
THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE
HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PEOPLE
SHOULD NOT BE GOING HUNGRY.
THE LEGISLATION PASSED BY
CONGRESS PROVIDES HOPE THAT
WHEN MORATORIUMS ON EVICTIONS
AND, PEOPLE WILL GET THE
ASSISTANCE THEY NEED TO BE ABLE
TO STAY IN OUR HOMES.
WHETHER A RENTAL UNIT OR IN
THEIR OWN HOME.
THE FEDERAL ACT MORE THAN
DOUBLES FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY
HEALTH CENTERS.
THESE ARE AMONG OTHER
PRIORITIES.
IT IS WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION
THAT THE CITY OF SEATTLE IS
LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
ALL OF THE RESIDENCE IN SEATTLE
TO ALLOCATETHE FUNDING TO
ADDRESS THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS
THAT HAVE BECOME WORSE DUE TO
COVID-19 AND ALSO ADDRESS THE
UNDERLYING INEQUITIES THAT WERE
PRESENT PRIOR TO COVID-19.
THE CRISIS OF THE PANDEMIC HAS
ONLY EXACERBATED AND MADE WORSE
MANY OF THE SITUATIONS THAT
FAMILIES WERE LIVING IN POVERTY
, VULNERABLE COMMITTEES, OUR
FAMILIES WHO ARE LIVING
PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND THE
IMPACT ESPECIALLY ON WOMEN AND
PEOPLE OF COLOR AS A RESULT OF
THE CONSEQUENCES OF COVID-19.
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS
RESOLUTION, THIS IS THE FIRST
OF A FEW PIECES OF LEGISLATION
THAT I KNOW THE COUNCIL WILL
úPASS SOON RELATED TO THE
AMERICAN RECOVERY ACT PLAN,
THIS RESOLUTION PROVIDES THE
BACKBONE.
THE FRAME WE WILL CONTINUE TO
GO BACK TO AS WE ALLOCATE
FUNDING TO PROVIDE NECESSARY
SERVICES BOTH IN THE NEAR AND
THE LONG-TERM TO RECOVER FROM
THIS CRISIS.
THE PRIORITY INVESTMENTS IN
THIS RESOLUTION ARE INFORMED BY
POLICIES THAT MANY IN THE
COMMUNITY HAVE ENGAGED IN DEEP
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CITY
COUNCIL ON OVER THE LAST YEAR.
THIS BUILDS ON PREVIOUSLY
PASSED LEGISLATION LIKE THE 2020
BUDGET REVISIONS.
LIKE OUR JUMPSTART SEATTLE
COVID-19 RELIEF PLAN, THE
INITIAL ONE WE PASSED, AND THE
FINAL ONE THAT WAS SUBMITTED AS
WELL.
IT BUILDS ON THE 2021 ADOPTED
BUDGET, ALL AS KEY COMPONENTS
AS WE LOOK AT ITEMS FOR
IMMEDIATE RELIEF AND FLAGGING
ONGOING INVESTMENTS IN THE
YEARS.
THE RESOLUTION WAS DEVELOPED
WITH THE FOLLOWING
CONSIDERATIONS IN LINE, FIRST --
>> I AM SO SORRY, BUT I JUST
REALIZED THAT YOU ARE SPEAKING
TO ITEM 2, AND WE ARE ON ITEM 1.
>> I APOLOGIZE AS WELL.
>> YOU ARE SO EXCITED, WE ARE
EXCITED ABOUT IT, YOU JUST
SKIPPED RIGHT OVER THE FIRST
BILL.
>> I THOUGHTIT WAS ME, I
THOUGHT I WAS OFF, THANK YOU.
>> JUST FILE THAT AWAY.
I APOLOGIZE TO COUNCILMEMBER
LEWIS.
>> I THINK WE ARE ALL EQUALLY
EXCITED ABOUT COUNSEL BILL
120019, SO I'M GOING TO HAND IT
BACK OVER TO YOU TO WALK US
THROUGH THAT ONE AT FIRST, AND
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DEFER TO
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS, I'M ALSO
HAPPY TO DO THAT.
>> I WILL BE VERY BRIEF, ITEM
NUMBER ONE , COLLEAGUES, IS
ORDINANCE 120011, THIS DOES
REQUIRE A UNANIMOUS VOTE, AIMING
EQUALLY EXCITED, I WILL NOTE IT
PROVIDES 12 MILLION APPROPRIATED
FOR THE NON-CONGREGANT SHELTER
SERVICES, INCLUDING HOTEL
ROOMS, TINY HOUSE VILLAGES, OR
ENHANCED SHELTER OPTIONS FOR
INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS AT AN INCREASED
RISK FOR CONTRACTING COVID-19,
GREATLY APPRECIATE THE
LEADERSHIP OF COUNCILMEMBER
LEWIS AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT,
AND IT COMES TO US AFTER
RECEIVING CLARITY AND AFTER A
YEAR OF BEING IN COMPLIANCE
AND TRYING TO BE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH CDC RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH
REQUIRE US TO LOOK AT NON-
CONGREGANT SHELTER OPTIONS FOR
ALL THOSE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS.
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS, APOLOGIZE
FOR THE DELAY.
>> COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS, WOULD
YOU LIKE TO MAKE COMMENTS ON
THIS BILL?
>> YES, THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
IN MOVING THE BALL ALONG ON
THIS AND BRINGING ALL OF THE
PARTIES TO THE TABLE, INCLUDING
FEMA, THE CITY BUDGET OFFICE,
AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AS WELL
AS THE KEY COUNSEL
STAKEHOLDERS, THANK YOU
COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA FOR
COSPONSORING THIS AND MOVING
IT EXPEDIENTLY THROUGH YOUR
COMMITTEE LAST WEEK.
YOU KNOW, A LOT HAS BEEN SAID
ABOUT THIS OVER THE LAST COUPLE
OF WEEKS AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED
THIS, AND THE NEWS, AS A
COMMUNITY, NOT JUST AS A CITY
GOVERNMENT, THAT WE MAKE SURE
WE ARE AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING
EVERY POSSIBLE RESOURCE TO MAKE
AN IMPACT ON THE REALLY, REALLY
DIFFICULT ISSUE THAT ALL OF US
SEE ON A DAILY BASIS OF CHRONIC
HOMELESSNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY,
KNOWING THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF
THINGS WE CAN BE PURSUING WITH
THIS FEDERAL REIMBURSABLE
RESOURCE TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT
OF THIS EMERGENCY, GET PEOPLE
HYGIENIC PLACE WITH FOUR WALLS
AND A DOOR THAT LOCKS WHERE
THEY CAN LIVE WITH DIGNITY AND
BE PROTECTED FROM THE VERY REAL
AND RAMPANT PANDEMIC, WE KNOW
FROM SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS
THIS MORNING, AND WE KNOW FROM
OUR BRIEF MEETING LAST WEEK,
DESPITE CALLS FOR OPTIMISM,
THERE IS STILL A RAMPANT VIRUS
OUT THERE THAT FOLKS
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ARE
MORE VULNERABLE TO WITHOUT
HAVING A LOTS OF PLACES THAT WE
TAKE FOR GRANTED TO BE ABLE TO
SHELTER IN PLACE AND A SAFE AND
HYGIENIC WAY FROM THE UNIQUE
CHALLENGES OF THE PANDEMIC.
THIS RESOURCE SPECIFICALLY WILL
HELP THE CITY TO ADDRESS THAT,
TO PROVIDE THE KIND OF NON-
CONGREGANT SHELTER THAT IS
ESSENTIAL FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE 65
AND OLDER, PEOPLE WITH
COMORBIDITIES, PEOPLE WITH
ENHANCED VULNERABILITY TO THE
DISASTER AND CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF.
I WANT TO NOTE, THIS IS A
RESOURCE THAT IS ON TOP OF
OTHER RESOURCES THIS COUNCIL
HAS APPROPRIATED AND PUTTING
FORWARD TO PROVIDE MORE NON-
CONGREGANT SHELTER.
IT IS ADDITIVE TO THE 300 HOTEL
ROOMS ABOUT THE COUNCIL
PROVIDED FUNDING FOR LAST FALL,
IT IS ADDITIVE TO THE 120
ADDITIONAL TINY HOUSES THE
COUNCIL PROVIDED, AS WELL AS
THE 125 ENHANCED SHELTER SPACES
, THOSE 545 TOTAL AGGREGATE
SPACES, STILL IN THE PROCESS OF
SETTING UP IN COLLABORATION
WITH THE COUNCIL, AND WE SHOULD
GET A PRETTY BIG UPDATE ON ALL
OF THOSE ASSETS IN THE APRIL
MEETING OF THE COUNCIL.
BUT, IN THE MEANTIME, WE CAN BE
LEANING IN WITH THIS ADDITIONAL
RESOURCE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE GENEROUS OFFER FROM FEMA TO
100% REIMBURSE FOR CERTAIN
EXPENSES THAT NEED CRITERIA,
THAT WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF
TIME DRILLING DOWN THE
SPECIFICS OF IN THIS
LEGISLATION.
ONE LAST THING I DO WANT TO SAY
ON THIS, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE
DON'T FORGET, I KNOW COUNCIL
PRESIDENT HAD INDICATED AN
INTEREST IN BEING ADDED AS
COSPONSOR, WANT TO MAKE SURE WE
DO THAT BEFORE THE PASSAGE, I
DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS THE
TIME TO SIGNIFY HIS PRIME
SPONSOR THAT THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
VERY WARRANTED, GIVEN THAT KEY
LEADERSHIP ROLE COUNCIL
PRESIDENT PLAYED IN BRINGING US
TOGETHER.
BUT I JUST WANT TO CLOSE MY
COMMENTS BY RECOGNIZING THAT
AND WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT
BACK OVER.
>> THANK YOU THAT, THAT WAS
REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY NAME, I
COSPONSORED IT TO THIS REALLY
IMPORTANT BILL, I APPRECIATE
YOU FOLLOWING UP ALL NIGHT.
AM HOPING THE CLERKS ARE
LISTENING, I AM SURE THEY ARE
SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THE
RECORD REFLECTS MY
COSPONSORSHIP, AND I WILL WAIT
FOR ONE OF THEM TO TELL ME THAT
I NEED TO SAY MORE SPECIFIC
WORDS, IF I NEED TO, AND HAPPY
TO DO THAT.
>> WE HAVE ADDED YOU AS A
COSPONSOR, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, REALLY
APPRECIATE IT.
COLLEAGUES, ANY OTHER COMMENTS
OR QUESTIONS ON COUNSEL BILL
120019?
I AM NOT SEEING ANY MORE
COMMENTS ON THIS, I AM REALLY
EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO VOTE IN
FAVOR OF THIS PARTICULAR
COUNSEL BILL, AND I THINK IT
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE BASED ON
WHAT THE PRIME SPONSOR AND
CHAIRMAN MOSQUEDA JUST
MENTIONED, AND GLAD WE WERE
ABLE TO FIND SOME MUCH-NEEDED
CLARITY ON THE POLICY POSITION
RELATED TO THIS BILL FROM THE
FEDERAL LEVEL THAT REALLY
ALLOWED US TO MOVE THIS
PARTICULAR LEGISLATION FORWARD,
OF COURSE, THERE IS NO 100%
GUARANTEE OF 100%
REIMBURSEMENT, BUT I THINK ANY
OPPORTUNITY WE CAN TO GET
REIMBURSEMENT, EVEN IF IT IS
PARTIAL, IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
TO CONTINUE TO PROTECT THOSE
WHO CANNOT SHELTER IN PLACE
FROM THE DEVASTATING DEADLY
IMPACTS OF COVID-19, WE KNOW IT
IS GOING TO TAKE US A WHILE TO
CATCH UP TO THE DEMAND, AND THE
NEED, AS IT RELATES TO
VACCINATION, AND WE ALSO KNOW
WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HARD
TO REACH COMMUNITY MEMBERS LIKE
THOSE WHO DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE
HOUSING OR ARE IN SHELTERED, IT
IS GOING TO BE EVEN MORE
CHALLENGING TO DEPLOY
VACCINATIONS INTO THE
COMMUNITY, IT IS GOING TO TAKE
US A LITTLE BIT LONGER, BECAUSE
OF THE TRANSIT NATION OF THE
POPULATION, THE STRATEGY AND
OTHER STRATEGIES THAT ALLOW US
TO FOCUS ON NON-CONGREGANT
SHELTER FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS
WHO WILL CONTINUE TO BE AT A
SIGNIFICANT RISK TO COVID-19 IS
GOING TO BE CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY MOVING
FORWARD.
APPRECIATE THE GOOD SENSE HERE
IN ADVANCING THIS BILL.
ALL RIGHT, I AM NOT SEEING ANY
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, SO I AM
GOING TO ASK THE CLERK PLEASE
CALL ROLE ON THE PASSAGE OF
COUNSEL BILL 120019.
>> COUNCILMEMBER MORALES.
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT.
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS.
>> YES.

>> AYE.
S.A.P.
>> PRESIDENT GONZALES.

>> THE BILL PASSES.
OKAY, ITEM 2, WILL THE COURT
PLEASE READ ITEM 2 INTO THE
RECORD.
>> AGENDA ITEM TWO, REVELATION
-- RESOLUTION 31999.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT
THE RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED AS
AMENDED.
>> THIS IS THE ITEM YOU WERE
VERY EXCITED ABOUT, NOW I AM
GOING TO HAND IT BACK OVER TO
TO FINISH YOUR REMARKS, AND
THEN WE WILL TAKE UP THE
RESOLUTION.
>> THANK YOU. APOLOGIES FOR
THAT, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME
PREVIEW ITEM NUMBER TWO, AND TO
PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF, AS A
REMINDER, THIS IS THE
RESOLUTION THAT PROVIDES THAT
BACKBONE AND GUIDING AS WE
CONSIDER FUTURE ORDINANCES THAT
ALLOCATE FUNDING FROM THE
FEDERAL RESCUE PLAN ACT.
APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK YOU
PROVIDED.
S A REMINDER, THIS INCLUDES
PRIORITY INVESTMENTS THAT WERE
MADE IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES
, LOOKING AT INVESTMENTS
GROUPED INTO CATEGORIES SUCH AS
VACCINES AND TESTING, FOOD
ASSISTANCE, HOMELESSNESS AND
HOUSING SERVICES, INCLUDING
RENTAL ASSISTANCE.
IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES
SUPPORT, CHILDCARE SUPPORT,
SMALL BUSINESS AND WORKER
ASSISTANCE AND WORKFORCE
RECOVER.
COMMUNITY WELL-BEING,
TRANSPORTATION, AND REVENUE
REPLACEMENT AND FINANCIAL
RESILIENCE.
THIS IS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE
FUTURE WORK OUR COUNSEL WILL
WORK ON THAT THE CITY WILL USE
AS WE RESPOND TO THE CRISIS WE
SEE RIGHT NOW IN THE STREETS,
THE CRISIS THAT MANY SMALL
BUSINESSES AND WORKERS ARE
FACING WITH LACK OF ACCESS TO
SECURITY AND THE ABILITY TO
OPEN UP SHOPS OR GET BACK TO
WORK, AND HOW WE ALSO INVEST IN
THE LONG-TERM WHEN WE CREATE
MORE EQUITABLE ECONOMY AS WE
LOOK TO RECOVER.
THIS RESOLUTION WAS DEVELOPED
WITH THE FOLLOWING FOUR
PRINCIPLES IN MIND, FIRST, THEY
NEED TO BE PRIORITIZING EQUITY,
PRIORITIZING INVESTMENTS FOR
THOSE WHO ARE MOST IMPACTED BY
COVID-19 AND THE ASSOCIATED
ECONOMIC IMPACTS.
SECOND, COORDINATION, ENSURING
THE INVESTMENTS ARE COORDINATED
WITH OTHER ENTITIES TO ADDRESS
GAPS IN SERVICES OR PROVISIONS.
THIRD, FLEXIBILITY, AS WE HEARD
FROM OUR PARTNERS THIS MORNING
WHO ARE TRACKING THE
DEVELOPMENT AND ALLOCATION OF
FUNDING TO CITIES AND STATES,
WE NEED TO BE FLEXIBLE AND
NIMBLE, PREPARED TO RESPOND AS
NEEDED, BOTH TO FEDERAL
GUIDANCE THAT COMES OUT, AND
ALSO TO THE ONGOING NEEDS THAT
ARE GROWING AND EVOLVING IN OUR
COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW.
AND FORTH, RESILIENCE, THIS
ALLOWS US TO GUARD AGAINST
FUTURE AUSTERITY MEASURES,
FUTURE UNCERTAINTY, AND
PATIENCE AND THE CITY TO MAKE
NEW INVESTMENTS SUCH AS THE
RESOLUTION THAT WE PASSED BUT
WENT ALONG WITH JUMPSTART.
OUR CONCRETE SPENT PLAN BANKED
INTO RESOLUTION 31957.
THIS IS OUR EFFORT TO MAKE SURE
WE ARE RESILIENT, MORE EQUITABLE
, SO THAT WE DON'T GO BACK TO A
NORMAL THAT WE ACTUALLY GO BACK
TO A MUCH BETTER, MORE
EQUITABLE CITY.
THE RESOLUTION WAS DEVELOPED
WITH THE FOLLOWING
CONSIDERATIONS IN MIND, FIRST,
THAT WE HAVE A NEED TO BE
PIVOTING THE CITY'S EFFORTS
FROM ACUTE EMERGENCY RELIEF TO
LONG-TERM ECONOMIC RECOVERY,
THE SECOND, FOR POTENTIAL TO
LEVERAGE OTHER LOCAL STATE AND
FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND PARTNERS,
AND THIRD, OUR RECOGNITION OF
THE CITY'S CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS
THAT WOULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO
DELIVER SERVICES IF WE DIDN'T
DO IT IN PARTNERSHIP.
THE ONGOING WORK WE ARE DOING
WITH THE COUNTY FOR THE
ORDINANCE JUST PASSED, AND LED
BY COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS TO
PARTNER WITH KING COUNTY AS WE
THINK ABOUT RESPONDING TO THE
CRISIS.
SOON, WE WILL BE WORKING
THROUGH THIS PUBLIC OUTREACH
PROCESS AND LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH YOU AS WE GET WORD
OUT TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT HOW
THEY CAN ENGAGE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

RESOLUTION?

CHAIR OF OUR FINANCE COMMITTEE

TO NON-COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO
PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE
RESOLUTION, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE

ACCESS TO INTERNET, SUPPORTING
OUR TRANSPORTATION

WILL HAND IT BACK OVER TO.
>> THANK YOU.
THERE WITH ME, SOME OF THESE
REMARKS WILL SOUND VERY SIMILAR
TO WHAT I SAID AT COUNSEL
BRIEFING, FOR THE VIEWING
PUBLIC, AND TO TO SET THE TABLE
AGAIN FOR THIS.
THIS SURVEILLANCE ORDINANCE,
ADOPTED IN 2017 AND REFINED IN
2018, CREATED FOR SEATTLE A
STRONG PROCESS TO REVIEW
TECHNOLOGY THAT, WHILE USED TO
INCREASE EFFICIENCY OF
GOVERNMENT OPERATION AND
SERVICES, COULD HAVE
SURVEILLANCE CAPABILITIES.
THANK YOU TO COUNCIL PRESIDENT
GONZALEZ AND OTHERS WHO CRAFTED
THE SURVEILLANCE ORDINANCE, IT
PUTS IN PLACE A THOROUGH REVIEW
PROCESS THAT REQUIRES THE
DEPARTMENT'S USING THE
TECHNOLOGY TO JUSTIFY AND
PROVIDE POLICIES FOR USE OF THE
TECHNOLOGY WITH A FOCUS ON
PROTECTING PRIVACY AND CIVIL
LIBERTIES.
THIS IS FOLLOWED UP WITH A
REVIEW BY A VOLUNTEER
SURVEILLANCE WORKING GROUP AND
OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
DEPARTMENT.
OUR COMMITTEE RECEIVED AN
OVERVIEW OF THE SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGY IMPACT REPORT
APPROVAL PROCESS BACK IN
JANUARY.
THREE ORDINANCES WERE PUT
FORWARD FOR NINE OF THE 26
EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES BACK ON

INTRODUCTION REFERRAL CALENDAR.
WE HEARD FROM ALL THE RELEVANT
CITY DEPARTMENTS ON BOTH MARCH

TECHNOLOGY FOR THE STAFF FROM
OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
DEPARTMENT, THE VOLUNTEERS ON

DEPARTMENT EXPLORE THE
FEASIBILITY OF AN ADDITIONAL
SECURITY FEATURE THEY START A

DISPATCH.
THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD WHO WILL BE SPEAKING TO
THE AMENDMENT, IT IS A FRIENDLY
AMENDMENT BASED ON Q AND A
DURING OUR COMMITTEE WITH THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND THIS
TECHNOLOGY IS PRETTY BASIC, AND
IT IS SOMETHING THEY ALREADY
USE AND JUST SOMETHING THAT
FALLS WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF
POTENTIAL SURVEILLANCE, BUT IT
IS, AGAIN, IT IS JUST THEIR 911
COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH.
HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND
SUPPORT COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD'S
AMENDMENT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, I'M GOING
TO HAND IT OVER TO
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD TO MAKE
HER MOTION FOR CONSIDERATION
AND DISCUSSION OF AMENDMENT ONE.

12 0003 AS PRESENTED ON
AMENDMENT ONE ON THE AGENDA.
>> IS HER SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND
SECONDED.
COUNSEL NEVER HERBOLD, I WILL
HAND IT BACK OVER TO YOU TO
WALK US THROUGH THE AMENDMENT.
>> CHAIR PEDERSEN DID A NICE
JOB OF EXPLAINING WHAT THIS
AMENDMENT WOULD DO IN A WAY
THAT IS MORE SIMPLE THAN I DID
IT THIS MORNING.
IT IS REALLY JUST THAT SIMPLE,
AS SIMPLE AS CHAIR PEDERSEN
DESCRIBED IT, IT WOULD ASK THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO
WHETHER OR NOT AN ADDITIONAL
LAYER OF SECURITY COULD BE
INCLUDED AS PART OF ACCESS
BEING GRANTED TO ENHANCE THE
SECURITY AND PREVENT SOMEBODY
FROM LOGGING IN, EVEN IF THEY
HAVE ACCESS TO A PASSWORD.
I DON'T NEED TO GO INTO ALL THE
MINUTIA ABOUT TWO FACTOR
AUTHENTICATION, OR TOKEN-BASED
AUTHENTICATION, UNLESS PEOPLE
WANT ME TO.
