FOLLOWED BY EVE THAT.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
SPEAKING ON OUR FIELD POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
IN ORDER TO SPD DISCIPLINARY
SYSTEM WAS RELEASED LAST WEEK
BY THE SEATTLE OFFICE OF
INSPECTOR GENERAL, THE OIG.
THIS IS THE SAME OFFICE THAT IS
EMBROILED IN CONTROVERSY AND
FAILURES OF OVERSIGHT.
AS REVEALED BY TWO OIG
WHISTLEBLOWERS, AND DOCUMENTED
IN 16, 16 INVESTIGATIONS
PUBLISHED BY CAROLYN BECK IN
THE SOUTH SEATTLE EMERALD OVER
THE COURSE OF THIS YEAR, AND AN
INVESTIGATION LAST MONTH.
WHAT IS REVEALED IN THESE
INVESTIGATIONS IS A FAILURE OF
OVERSIGHT BY OIG FOR A REASON.
THAT THE INVESTIGATIONS THEY
OVERSEE, INVESTIGATIONS DONE BY
THE OPA, ARE SEVERELY AND
SOMETIMES IRREPARABLY FOLLOWED.
THE OPA DIRECTOR HAS JUDGED
NEARLY 90% OF LAST YEAR'S
POLICE ABUSE CASES REVIEWED
WITHOUT MERIT, AND HAS FOUND
EVERY SINGLE SPD KILLING THAT
THEY INVESTIGATED TO BE QUOTE,
LAWFUL AND PROPER.
WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE
DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF
INSPECTOR GENERAL HAS ALLOWED
THE ROUTINE CERTIFICATION OF
THESE FLAWED OPA INVESTIGATIONS
BY A PERSON WHO FORMERLY HAD A
23 YEAR CAREER AS A POLICE
OFFICER, WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING
AT EVIDENCE AND SOMETIMES
WITHOUT EVEN REVIEWING THE
INVESTIGATIONS.
WE RECENTLY HAVE DISCOVERED
THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL IS STILL
WORKING AT THE OIG, AND STILL
CERTIFYING INVESTIGATIONS.
WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE
DIRECTOR OF THE OIG HAS
ENCOURAGED INVESTIGATORS TO
IGNORE OPA INVESTIGATORY
FAILURES, AND HAS WORKED
DILIGENTLY TO UNDERCUT THE
PUBLIC RECORDS ACT BY MANDATING
THAT EMPLOYEES NOT PUT
COMPLAINTS OR CONCERNS IN
WRITING.
DESPITE THIS, WE ARE TRUSTING
THE OIG TO EVALUATE THE SPD
DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM.
A SYSTEM WHICH IS CAN BARELY
COMPROMISE GIVING THAT THE
BARELY INVESTIGATIONS THAT
WOULD PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR
DISCIPLINE ARE SO FLOOD.
ALL THIS EVIDENCE POINTS TO THE
CRITICAL NEED FOR A SYSTEM THAT
PROVIDES FULL CIVILIAN
COMMUNITY CONTROL OVER POLICE
POLICY, MISCONDUCT
INVESTIGATIONS, AND DISCIPLINES.
GO TO SEATTLE STOPPED AT WORK
TO FIND OUT HOW.
THAT IS SEATTLE STOP.ORG.
THANK YOU.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS YVETTE
SHE IS SHOWING AS NOT PRESENT.
SO, WITH THAT, WE'LL COME BACK
TO YVETTE.
AT THE END.
LET'S MOVE ON TO DAVID WHO IS
THE NEXT PERSON SIGNED IN AND
SHOWING PRESENT.
>> THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING.
DAVID HAYNES.
IT'S HIGHLY OFFENSIVE THAT SIX
COPS AND A BUNCH OF OTHERS QUIT
ON THE PEOPLE OF SEATTLE.
ENDANGERING US WITH A LACK OF
PUBLIC SAFETY EFFORTS.
ONLY TO SEE THE SAME COPS
RETURN TO GET ANOTHER SIGN ON
BONUS.
PROVING COPS IN MODERN TIME
AREN'T FIGHTING CRIME, THEY
WANT TO GET RICH AT OUR
EXPENSE.
WE DON'T NEED 27 YEAR VETERAN'S
WHO ARE ALREADY BURNED OUT, AND
NOT ACTUALLY FIGHTING CRIME.
SECONDLY, I LIVE IN PIONEER
SQUARE.
THERE ARE CRACKHEADS AND CRACK
PUSHERS AND METHODS WHO
RECLAIMED THE FRONT ENTRANCE TO
MY APARTMENT, PIONEER SQUARE AT
601st AVENUE, AND ACROSS THE
STREET AT THE MOST NUISANCE 711.
A FEW DAYS AGO I WAS FORCED TO
CALL THE COPS BECAUSE THEY
WOULD LET ANYBODY PASS.
THE DRUG PUSHERS.
INSIDE PIONEER SQUARE.
AND THE COP GETS THERE, THEY
DON'T ADDRESS ANY CRIME.
THEY MAKE ME COME OUT AND
IDENTIFY MYSELF AS THE ONE WHO
CALLED THE COPS.
DURING THAT TIME THERE'S ALL
THESE CRIMINALS POINTING AT ME.
WHEN THE COP ADDRESSED ME, THEY
TOLD ME, WE GOT OUR BODY CAMERA
ON, YOU'RE BEING RECORDED.
THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS
CROSS THEIR ARMS, LOOK AT ME
DISDAINFULLY AND SAY YOU HAVE
CALL THIS OVER 12 TIMES FOR THE
EXACT SAME THING.
AND I SAID THAT'S BECAUSE YOU
HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING AND IT
HAS GOTTEN WORSE.
SO, THE COP TELLS ME, MAYBE YOU
SHOULD JUST MOVE.
I WISH I COULD.
I THINK MAYBE I NEED TO SEE THE
COPS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT DOING
THEIR JOB DOWN HERE.
THERE ARE SOME BUSINESSES DOWN
IN PIONEER SQUARE, ARE LYING TO
THE PRESS AND THE MEDIA,
CLAIMING THAT IT IS SAFER
BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE THE
TENTS.
THEY JUST CARE ABOUT THE FRONT
ENTRANCE TO THEIR BUILDING.
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE
COMMITTEE AT LARGE.
THEY DON'T EVER ADDRESS THE
EVIL DRUG PUSHERS.
THEY JUST COMPLAIN ABOUT IT TO
SOMEBODY ELSE.
SO NOW, EVERY NIGHT, BETWEEN
3:00 AND 4:00 A.M., ALL THESE
PEOPLE ARE WAKING ME UP AND
THEY ARE TRYING TO BREAK INTO
MY BUILDING AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
TO LIVE IN SEATTLE.
WE NEED TO BOYCOTT THE CITY
UNTIL YOU STOP ALL EXEMPTING
THE CRIMINALS.
>> THANK YOU, DAVID.
NONE OF OUR LAST TWO SPEAKERS
ARE SHOWING AS NOT PRESENT.
YVETTE AND THE OTHER ONE.
I'LL PAUSE FOR A SECOND TO MAKE
SURE NEITHER OF THEM ARE GOING
TO COME ON TO UTILIZE PUBLIC
COMMENT.
NOT SEEING ANY CHANGE IN STATUS.
>>> WITH THAT, WE WILL CONCLUDE
THE PORTION OF OUR AGENDA AND
GO INTO PUBLIC COMMENT.
>>> MOVING ON TO OUR SET OF
BILLS.
>> PAYMENT OF BILLS.
COUNCIL BILL 120240.
AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING
MONEY TO PAY CERTAIN AUDITED
CLAIMS FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER
22nd, 2021 THROUGH NOVEMBER
26th, 2021, AND ORDERING THE
PAYMENT THEREOF.
>> THANK YOU.
I MOVED TO PASS COUNCIL BILL
120240.
>> SECOND.
>> IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND
SECONDED.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS?
SEEING NO COMMENTS CAN WE
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE
PASSAGE OF THE BILL?
>> [ ROLL BEING CALLED ] SEVEN
IN FAVOR, NONE OPPOSED.
>> THANK YOU, THE BILL PASSES
AND THE CHAIR WILL SIGN IT..
WILL THE CLERK PLEASE AFFIX MY
SIGNATURE TO THE LEGISLATION ON
MY BEHALF.
>>> MOVING ON TO COMMITTEE
REPORTS.
ITEM 1, WILL THE CLERK PLEASE
READ ITEM 1 INTO THE RECORD.
>> AGENDA ITEM 1, COUNCIL BILL
120213.
AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO LAND
USE AND ZONING, EXTENDING FOR
SIX MONTHS A MORATORIUM
ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE
125764, AND EXTENDED BY
ORDINANCES 126006, 126090,
126241, AND 126362, ON THE
FILING, ACCEPTANCE, PROCESSING
AND/OR APPROVAL OF ANY
APPLICATION TO ESTABLISH A NEW
PRINCIPAL OR ACCESSORY USE, OR
CHANGE A PRINCIPAL OR ACCESSORY
USE, FOR ANY SITE CURRENTLY
USED AS A MOBILE HOME PARK AS
DEFINED IN SECTION 23.84A.032
OF THE SEATTLE MUNICIPAL CODE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
BEFORE I OPEN THE COURT HEARING
ON THIS ITEM, I'M GOING TO TURN
IT OVER TO COUNCILMEMBER
STRAUSS AS THE SPONSOR OF THE
BILL, TO PROVIDE US WITH SOME
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
PRO TEM HERBOLD.
THIS LEGISLATION EXTENDS THE
EXISTING MORATORIUM ON THE
REDEVELOPMENT OF ANY OF
SEATTLE'S REMAINING MOBILE HOME
OR BETTER KNOWN AS MANUFACTURED
HOME PARKS.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO
REMAINING MANUFACTURED HOME
PARKS IN SEATTLE, BOAST IN
DISTRICT 5. THIS MORATORIUM WAS
FIRST ADOPTED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL IN EARLY 2019, IN
RESPONSE TO A CONCERN THAT ONE
OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME PARKS
MAY BE REDEVELOPED.
THE MORATORIUM HAS BEEN
EXTENDED FOUR TIMES SINCE THEN,
WITH THIS BEING THE FIFTH AND
FINAL EXTENSION.
EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN WE
ADOPTED THE FOURTH EXTENSION,
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ AND I
SHARED THAT WE HAD A PROPOSAL
TO ENACT LONG-TERM PROTECTIONS
SO THAT WE CAN STOP DOING THE
SHORT TERM MORATORIUMS.
UNFORTUNATELY OVER THE SUMMER,
THAT PROPOSAL WAS CHALLENGED TO
THE HEARING EXAMINER, DELAYING
ITS CONSIDERATION.
THE LAND USE AND NEIGHBORHOODS
COMMITTEE HELD AN INITIAL
BRIEFING ON THE LONG-TERM
PROPOSAL THIS LAST FRIDAY, AND
PLANS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING
AND VOTE ON THIS WEDNESDAY
BEFORE SENDING THE LEGISLATION.
THIS FINAL, PERMANENT
LEGISLATION, TO FULL COUNCIL
NEXT WEEK.
ONE OF THE ASPECTS OF THIS
DELAY WAS THAT RATHER THAN
GOING TO COURT, WE WERE ABLE,
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ LED THE
EFFORT, WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID
COURT BY JUST COMPROMISE AND
CONSENSUS.
IT WAS GREAT.
THAT SAID, BECAUSE THE DELAY
OCCURRED TO THE FINAL
LEGISLATION, THE CURRENT
MORATORIUM IS EXPIRING JANUARY
10th, AND THERE WILL BE ABOUT A
ONE WEEK GAP BETWEEN THE
CURRENT MORATORIUM EXPIRING,
AND THE LONG-TERM PROTECTIONS
TAKING EFFECT.
SO THIS LAST MORATORIUM
EXTENSION BEFORE US TODAY
SHOULD SUNSET WHEN THE LONG-
TERM PROTECTIONS TAKE EFFECT.
I ASK THAT WE EXTEND THIS
MORATORIUM ONE FINAL TIME TO
PREVENT ANY LOOPHOLES BEFORE
OUR LONG-AWAITED LONG-TERM
PROTECTIONS CAN BE ADOPTED BY
THE CITY COUNCIL NEXT WEEK.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
PRO TEM.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
OKAY, AS PRESIDING OFFICER, I'M
NOW OPENING THE HEARING ON
COUNCIL BILL 121 -- 120213
EXTENDING THE MORATORIUM
ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE 1267
64.
TO ESTABLISH NEW PRINCIPAL OR
ACCESSORY USE OR CHANGE A
PRINCIPAL OR ACCESSORY USE FOR
ANY SITE CURRENTLY USED AS A
MOBILE HOME PARK AS DEFINED IN
SECTION 23.84A.032 OF THE
SEATTLE MUNICIPAL CODE AND
RATIFYING AND CONFIRMING
CERTAIN PRIOR ASK.

SPEAK AT THIS HEARING OPENED AT
12:00 NOON TODAY.
I WILL CALL ON -- I BELIEVE
THERE IS ONLY ONE SPEAKER AND I
WILL CALL ON THAT SPEAKER.
AND IT WILL -- ONLINE
REGISTRATION WILL REMAIN OPEN
UNTIL THE CONCLUSION OF THE
PUBLIC HEARING.
THE RULES APPLY TO THE PUBLIC
COMMENT PERIOD ALSO APPLY TO
PUBLIC HEARING.
AS I DESCRIBED EARLIER.
EACH SPEAKER WILL BE PROVIDED
TWO MINUTES WITH A 10 SECOND
WARNING TO WRAP UP COMMENTS.
SPEAKER'S MIKE'S WILL BE MUTED.
PUBLIC COMMENT RELATED IS ONLY
BEING ACCEPTED FOR PUBLIC
HEARING AND SPEAKER'S ARE ASKED
TO BEGIN THEIR COMMENTS BY
STATING THE NAME.
I HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP FOR
PUBLIC COMMENT -- HEARING ON
COUNCIL BILL 120213.

DAVID?
>> AND I -- STAR SIX.
I AM STILL SEEING YOU AS -- MR.
HAYNES?
IF YOU CAN HEAR -- STAR SIX.
AND I AM NOT SEEING MR. HAYNES
WITH US ANYMORE.
SO, I BELIEVE ONE MORE TIME,

SO, WITH THAT, LET'S CLOSE THE
PUBLIC HEARING.
IF I HAVE ANYBODY REMOTELY
PRESENT TO SPEAK ON COUNCIL
BILL 120213, STAFF COULD YOU
PLEASE CONFIRM?
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE'S NOT
A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IN THE
QUEUE.
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GIVEN THAT THERE IS NO ONE
PRESENT FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING,
THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW
CLOSED.
AND WE WILL MOVE INTO THE
DISCUSSION OF THE BILL.
I WILL MOVE TO PASS COUNCIL
BILL 120213. IS THERE A SECOND?

MANUFACTURED HOME PARKS IN
SEATTLE.
THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER

LEGISLATION READY TO COME

120236, FOLLOWS UP ON
RESOLUTION 32019, THAT WE
RECENTLY ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY TO

LENNY WILKENS IS OF COURSE THE
LEGENDARY BASKETBALL STAR,

WHILE THE RESOLUTION AT AN
HONORARY DESIGNATION TO THE

IS STRONGER, MORE PERMANENT,
BECAUSE IT LEGALLY CHANGES THE

STABILIZATION ACCOUNT IN 2021,
AND AMENDING SECTION 21.4 9.086
OF THE SEATTLE MUNICIPAL CODE

COUNCIL PASSED THE BILL.
>> TAKE YOU SO MUCH.
COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN, AS
CHAIR OF THE TRANSPORTATION AND
UTILITIES COMMITTEE, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE
THE COMMITTEE REPORT.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
PRO TEM.
COLLEAGUES, COUNCIL BILL 120233
THE SEATTLE CITY LIGHT'S
PROACTIVE POLICY TO PROTECT
RATEPAYERS FROM INCREASED
CHARGES BY ADDRESSING ITS RATE
STABILIZATION ACCOUNT.
THE RATE STABILIZATION ACCOUNT
WAS CREATED BY THE COUNSELOR,
SO CITY LIGHT WOULD HAVE A
RIVER TO BUFFER LIGHT PAYERS
FROM THE UPS AND DOWNS OF THE
WHOLESALE POWER MARKET.
REVENUE PUT INTO THE RFA DURING
SALES OF THAT MARKET IS A MAJOR
FACTOR IN THE UTILITY'S ABILITY
TO AVOID RAISING RATES DURING
DRIER TIMES OF THE YEAR WHEN
THE UTILITY HAD TO BUY POWER TO
MEET CUSTOMER NEEDS.
HOWEVER, THE WEATHER DOES NOT
ALWAYS COOPERATE.
AS THE SUMMARY AND FISCAL NOTE
INDICATES, IN EARLY 2021, THE
OUTLOOK WAS STRONG AND NO
SURCHARGE WAS AFFECTED TO COME
BACK ON WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR.
HOWEVER, DRY HYDRO COMMISSIONS
COMBINED WITH EXCEPTIONALLY HOT
WEATHER AND HIGH WHOLESALE
MARKET PRICES QUICKLY DEPLETED
THE RSA BALANCE DURING THE
THIRD QUARTER.
COUNCIL BILL 120233, THOSE TWO
THINGS.
MOVES MONEY FROM ANOTHER ACCOUNT
AT CITY LIGHT INTO THE RSA TO
AVOID ADDING A 3% SURCHARGE TO
THE CUSTOMER'S BILLS.
AND IT SIMPLIFIS THE STRUCTURE
TO MAKE A FURTHER CHARGE A LESS
FREQUENT OCCURRENCE.
THIS WILL NOT ADDRESS THE
IMPACT OF THE BOND RATING FOR
ITS DEBT COVERAGE RATIO.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED
PASSAGE ANONYMOUSLY.
THANK YOU.

PRESENTED ON THE AGENDA.
JUST VERY QUICKLY, THE
AMENDMENT AS MENTIONED THIS
MORNING, IT SIMPLY ADDS A
RECITAL REGARDING THE RECENT
DECISION TO FUND A NEW DUWAMISH
BASIN DUARD.
THE HABITAT PLAN MENTIONED THE
STEWARDSHIP POSITION AND THE
INTEREST OF FUNDING IT.
WE WERE ABLE TO AMEND THE PLAN
ITSELF NOW THAT THE COMMITMENT
HAS MADE THE FUND, THE POSITION.
BECAUSE IT IS BEING ADOPTED BY
16 OTHER JURISDICTIONS.
SO INSTEAD, THE APPROACH WE ARE
USING IS JUST ADDING A RECITAL
TO REFLECT THAT IT HAS ALREADY
BEEN FUNDED BEGINNING IN 2022.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS ON THE
AMENDMENT?
SEEING NO COMMENTS, WILL THE
CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON
THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT.
