COLLEAGUES WE DID TALK ABOUT

I JUST WANT TO SAY I AM REALLY
HONORED TO BE BRINGING THIS

NEIGHBORS AND THEIR FAMILIES
WHO REALLY BENEFITED FROM THE
HEALTHCARE SERVICES THAT
PHYLLIS DEMANDED PARTICULARLY
FOR LATINO, BLACK AND
INDIGENOUS NEIGHBORS WHO WERE
TRYING TO COPE WITH HIV AND
AIDS.
THE PEOPLE OF COLOR AGAINST
AIDS NETWORK IS BASED RIGHT ON
AVENUE SOUTH IN DISTRICT 2.
THANKS TO PHYLLIS EXPANDED OVER
TIME TO SERVE COMMUNITIES FROM
RIVERTON TO SPOKANE.
SHE ADVOCATED IN PARTICULAR FOR
THE TRANS-COMMUNITY, HIRING A
TRANS-WOMAN, AND HELPING FORM A
BLACK TRANS PROGRAM THAT
DISTRIBUTED ONE OF THE FIRST
NEWSLETTERS FOCUSED ON THE
BLACK TRANS COMMUNITY IN THE
COUNTRY.
I AM REALLY PLEASED WE ARE ABLE
TO OFFER THIS TODAY,
PARTICULARLY ON INTERNATIONAL
WOMEN'S DAY AND THEY DO WANT TO
THINK MESH ASHFORD, EXPRESS MY
CONDOLENCES TO YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY FOR SUCH A LOSS OF A
HUGE LEADER IN OUR COMMUNITY
AND THE FAMILY MEMBER.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
ALLOWING US TO CELEBRATE THE
LIFE OF YOUR GRANDMOTHER TODAY.
>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER
MORALES.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS
OR QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING ANYONE
WOULD LIKE TO RAISE BEFORE I
SUSPEND THE RULES?
OKAY.
NOT SEEING ANY, IF THERE IS NO
OBJECTION TO COUNCIL RULES WILL
BE SUSPENDED TO ALLOW OUR
GUESTS TO ACCEPT THE
PROCLAMATION.
PLEASE.
>> THANK YOU.
HELLO, EVERYONE, MY NAME IS
NAOMI, I AM ONE OF PHYLLIS'S
GRANDDAUGHTERS.
I WILL BE READING THE
RESOLUTION TODAY ON BEHALF OF
THE FAMILY.
OKAY, SO, GOOD AFTERNOON
SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL, FRIENDS
AND FAMILY.
PHYLLIS WAS BORN JULY 6, 1950
IN OKLAHOMA.
SHE CAME FROM A VERY HUMBLE
BEGINNING BUT LATER GREW INTO A
VERY AMBITIOUS YOUNG LADY.
OUR FAMILY IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN
MEMBERS OF THE CHACON NATION IN
INDIAN TERRITORY WHICH LATER
PHYLLIS RELOCATED TO WASHINGTON
WITH HER MOTHER AND SIBLINGS
AROUND 1967.
YEARS TO COME PHYLLIS BECAME
FAMOUS WITH SEATTLE CENTRAL
DISTRICT COMMUNITY BY APPLYING
HERSELF WITH JOBS THAT COMBATED
SOCIAL JUSTICE AWARENESS.
SHE LATER WENT ON TO BECOME A
GREAT LEADER BY BEING A PILLAR
IN HER COMMUNITY AND BEING
HIGHLY INVOLVED IN CITY AND
STATE-BASED PROGRAMS.
SHE OVERSAW MANY SUCCESSFUL
PROGRAMS IN HER CAREER.
MY GRANDMOTHER WAS AND STILL IS
A PRINCIPAL IN LIEU OF TODAY
BEING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY.
PHYLLIS HAD RIGHTEOUS AND
STRONG INDIGNATION TO NOT HOLD
BACK ON WHAT WAS RIGHT FOR THE
PEOPLE.
SHE WAS SYMPATHETIC TO
INDIVIDUALS CONDITIONS WITHIN
HEALTHCARE AND WAS THE AVERAGE
PATIENT ADVOCATE.
TYPICALLY WEARING MANY
DIFFERENT HATS UNDER HER
LEADERSHIP.
ESSENTIALLY HER NAME WAS ECHOED
THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY SHE
SOUGHT AFTER.
IN DOING GOD'S WORK I CAN SAY
WITH CONFIDENCE OUR FAMILY IS
DEEPLY SADDENED AND AFFECTED BY
THE LOSS OF BELOVED PHYLLIS.
SHE WAS WELL-KNOWN IN THE
SEATTLE COMMUNITY AND HIGHLY
PRAISED FOR HER TREMENDOUS AND
THE COMPASSION SHE HAD.
AWARDING HER LEGACY A STREET
WILL BE NAMED AFTER PHYLLIS IN
THE NEAR FUTURE.
OUR FAMILY IS HONORED TO WITNESS
THE NEW CONTINUUM OF HER LEGACY
WHICH IS WELL-DESERVED.
I WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE A
SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR ALL THE
PRAISE AND POSITIVE ENERGY SENT
TO US, IT IS GREATLY
APPRECIATED.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP THE
SPACE FOR ANY FAMILY THAT HAS
ANY COMMENTS IN REMEMBRANCE OF
PHYLLIS.
IF NOT I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN
IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL.
>> YOU ARE GOOD AT THIS, NAOMI.
SHE'S AN OLD HAND AT THIS.
I WOULD LIKE TO, BEFORE WE
CLOSE OUT, I WOULD LIKE TO
ALLOW COUNCILMEMBER MORALES TO
SAY ANYTHING BEFORE I HAVE
FINAL WORDS.
>> I WANT TO THANK NAOMI AGAIN
FOR BEING HERE AND WISH YOU AND
YOUR FAMILY WELL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I JUST SAW COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD 'S HAND GO UP.
>> I'M SORRY I CAN'T BE ON
CAMERA.
I JUST WANT TO REFERENCE SOME
ADDITION TO COMMENTS THAT
COUNCIL PRESIDENT TORRES MADE
YESTERDAY ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP
SHOWN AS IT RELATES TO
RESPONDING TO THE AIDS CRISIS.
IN LISTENING TO MADAM
PRESIDENT'S REFLECTIONS ABOUT
BEING SORT OF AN OLD-TIMER AND
REMEMBERING SOME OF THOSE OLD
EFFORTS, I ALSO REMEMBERED NOT
QUITE SO FOR BACK, BUT STILL
PRETTY FAR BACK, IN 2007 THE
COUNCIL FUNDED A PROGRAM CALLED
CLEAN DREAMS.
IT BECAME SORT OF THE PRECURSOR
PROGRAM TO THE INTERNATIONALLY
RECOGNIZED LEADER PROGRAM.
AND AND EARLY FISCAL SPONSOR
FOR THE CLEAN DREAMS PROGRAM.
WORKING FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES
IN A WAY THAT RECOGNIZED THE
GREAT NEEDS OF FOLKS WHO MIGHT
BE ENGAGED IN ACTIVITIES THAT
HAVE IMPACTS TO NEIGHBORHOODS,
BUT THAT HAVE UNMET NEEDS BY
OUR INSTITUTIONS. AND, REALLY
HELPED TRAIL BLAZERS.
THAT WAS REALLY DO TO THE
LEADERSHIP OF THE ORGANIZATION
AND PHYLLIS.
I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AS
WELL, REALLY IMPORTANT WORK FOR
CITIES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD . MISS ASHFORD,
YESTERDAY MORNING I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU ARE WATCHING, SOME OF US
THAT WERE AROUND IN 1990
REMEMBER YOUR GRANDMOTHER
BECAUSE OF THE HIV A.I.D.S.
AND WHAT WAS HAPPENING
NATIONALLY AND REGIONALLY AND
YOUR GRANDMOTHER WAS REALLY AT
THE VANGUARD FOR THE BIPOC
COMMUNITY.
NO ONE ELSE WAS DOING THIS.
YOU PROBABLY WEREN'T BORN THEN,
SO THOSE OF US REMEMBER, I WAS
LOOKING AT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S
NAME, I WENT, OH YES, I
REMEMBER PHYLLIS.
I WAS AT EVERGREEN AT LEGAL
SERVICES AND SHE WANTED ME TO
BE ON THE BOARD AND I THINK I
WAS ON THE BOARD FOR COUPLE
MONTHS BUT THAT IS ANOTHER
STORY.
HAD A, THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
MY POINT IS, I WOULD HOPE THAT
WE WOULD HAVE MORE ON RINGS
LIKE THIS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO
MANY UNSUNG HEROES YOUR
GRANDMOTHER IN THIS CITY THAT
HAVE DONE GREAT THINGS THAT WE
DON'T GET TO ALWAYS HEAR A LOT
OF.
I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY AND COUNCILMEMBER
MORALES FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD.
AND I SHOULD SAY SOME OF THE
EFFORTS FROM YOUR GRANDMOTHER,
WE OUT OF OUR OFFICE ON MARCH 15
WILL BE DOING OUR HIV A.I.D.S.
AMERICAN AWARENESS DATE WHICH
IS NOW BECOME A NATIONAL EVENT.
IN INDIAN COUNTRY.
AGAIN, SOMEONE HAD TO START
THAT FIRE ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO
RECOGNIZE PEOPLE OF COLOR AND
THOSE COMMITTEES ARE SUFFERING
FROM THIS DEADLY DISEASE AS
WELL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND
OUR OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR YOUR
GRANDMOTHER, PHYLLIS LITTLE.
>> THANK YOU.
MY PLEASURE.

SHARE THE MEETING.
YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
HOWARD WITH SEATTLE STOP.ORG.
COMMENTING ON HER FAILED POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
THIS MORNING CAROLYN BICKETT
THE SOUTH SEATTLE EMERALD
PUBLISHED HER 21st ARTICLE OVER
THE LAST 14 MONTHS
INVESTIGATING THE FAILURES AND
CORRUPTION IN OUR POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
TODAY'S ARTICLE REVEALS
SHOCKING MISMANAGEMENT AND
MISDEEDS THAT REQUIRE THE CITY
TO SEEK INVESTIGATIONS BY
ENTITIES OUTSIDE THE CITY.
YESTERDAY AT COUNCIL BRIEFING
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON STATED SHE
WAS "SORRY, ASHAMED AND FEELS
DEEPLY RESPONSIBLE" FOR THE
RECENT AND KILLINGS IN SEATTLE.
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, IF YOUR
SORROW, SHAME AND
RESPONSIBILITY ARE SO GREAT
WHEN YOU'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
PAYING THE SALARY OF THE
SHOOTER, PAYING FOR THE
SHOOTER'S GUN AND BULLETS, HOW
MUCH GREATER SHOULD IT BE WHEN
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING
FOR THESE THINGS?
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON AND ALL
COUNCIL MEMBERS, WHERE WAS YOUR
SORROW, SHAME AND
RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THE SPD
KILLED A PERSON IN BEHAVIORAL
CRISIS ON JANUARY 5? A PERSON
CONSIDERED SO INSIGNIFICANT BY
OUR ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM THAT
OVER TWO MONTHS LATER WE STILL
DON'T KNOW HIS NAME.
THAT WAS THE 19th PERSON, THE
19th PERSON SUFFERING A MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS AND MURDERED BY
THE SPD SINCE THE SPD MURDERED
WILLIAMS.
ARE PLEASE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM
HAS BEEN -- WE SHOULD HAVE
EMPATHY AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR ALL VICTIMS OF GUN
VIOLENCE.
BUT, A COUNCILMEMBER NEEDS TO
FOCUS ON THE KILLINGS THEY
DIRECTLY PAY FOR.
WE NEED TO BUILD THROUGH A CITY
INITIATIVE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES FULL
CIVILIAN COMMUNITY CONTROL OVER
POLICE POLICY, POLICE
MISCONDUCT INVESTIGATIONS AND
POLICE DISCIPLINE.
GO TO SEATTLE STOP.ORG.
THANK YOU.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS KIMBERLY
WOLF FOLLOWED BY CARMEN.
>> I AM KIMBERLY.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THE
POLICY.
[INDISCERNIBLE]
THE NUMBERS OF GIG WORKERS
[INDISCERNIBLE]
SMALLER AND SMALLER.
YOU NEED TO SUPPORT THIS
LEGISLATION [INDISCERNIBLE].
WE HAVE GONE OVER HOW THIS
POLICY CREATED BENEFITS GIG
WORKERS.
OUR LIKE TO MENTION OTHER
REASONS -- WHY YOU MIGHT
SUPPORT IT.
THE GIG COMPANIES RACE TO THE
BOTTOM PUSHED ME OVER THE EDGE
INTO HOMELESSNESS.
IF MANY OF YOU ARE SERIOUS
ABOUT THE HOMELESSNESS PROBLEM
IN THE CITY YOU SHOULD WANT TO
SUPPORT LEGISLATION THAT.
ANOTHER REASON IS A POSITIVE
IMPACT OF A SMALL BUSINESS AND
THE ECONOMIC HEALTH OF THE
CITY.
THERE ARE MANY RESTAURANTS IN
SEATTLE THAT RELY QUITE A BIT
ON THE GIG ECONOMY.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE GIG
CENTER IS STRONG AND HEALTHY.
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GIG WORKER
WITH ENOUGH TO PAY THEIR
BUSINESS EXPENSES, PERSONAL
BILLS AND HAVE MONEY IN THEIR
POCKETS WILL BE SPENDING A HUGE
AMOUNT OF MONEY RIGHT HERE IN
OUR CITY AND MANY, MANY SMALL
BUSINESSES.
SOMETHING THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO
DO NOW BECAUSE OF THE PAY THEY
RECEIVE FOR THEIR WORK.
THE COMPANIES ARE GOING TO --
MINIMUM WAGE.
DO NOT BE BAMBOOZLED.
THE PAY POLICY SIMPLY TAKES
INTO ACCOUNT ACTUAL MILEAGE AND
EXPENSES WE PAY OUT AND GIVES
US AT LEAST MINIMUM WAGE AFTER
EXPENSES ARE PAID AND HAVE BEEN
ACCOUNTED FOR.
JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BUSINESS,
THE NET PROFIT IS INCOME MINUS
EXPENSES.
WE TOO ARE SMALL BUSINESSES.
DON'T FORGET THAT.
ANY SMALL BUSINESS IS GOING TO
ASK FOR CERTAIN AMOUNT TO COVER
THEIR EXPENSES PLUS A HEALTHY
PROFIT.
AND WE ARE ASKING --
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS CARMEN
FOLLOWED BY WELL LYNN.
CARMEN, YOU WANT TO PRESS STAR
SIX TO BE UNMUTED.
MAYBE WE CAN COME BACK TO
CARMEN.
THE NEXT'S SPEAKER IS WELL LYNN
AND WE WILL COME BACK TO CARMEN.
>> LET'S COME BACK TO WELL
LYNN.
>> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS JAMES
THOMAS.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
MY NAME IS JAMES THOMAS
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE GIG
WORKERS IN SEATTLE. IN THE
CAMPAIGN BECAUSE I CARE.
-- THE HEAD PURCHASE ENOUGH
ITEMS TO GET THE GROCERIES HOME.
THEN AND NOW ONLY MY MOTHER
[INDISCERNIBLE].
HUSTLING GROCERIES HOME FOR
CUSTOMERS AT LOCAL NEW YORK
CITY SUPERMARKETS BECAUSE THEY
ONLY HAD TWO HANDS THEY
PURCHASED ENOUGH ITEMS THE
REQUIRED SIX TO GET THE
GROCERIES HOME.
THEN AND NOW ONLY MY MOTHER --
DOOR -- TREATED GROWN ADULTS AS
IF THEY WERE SUBORDINATE
CHILDREN WHEN THEY TOOK
MILLIONS OF TIP DOLLARS
DESIGNATED FOR DRIVERS.
YOUR ACTIONS ALLOWED -- HARD-
WORKING INDIVIDUALS TO BE
DESIGNATED AS AUTUMN FEEDERS ON
THE LETTER OF PROSPERITY AND
SUCCESS FOR THEMSELVES AND
THEIR FAMILIES.
AT THE PRESENT MOMENT GAS
PRICES INCREASED TWICE DAILY AT
SOME STATIONS.
IT ONLY SHOWS WHY THESE
IMPORTANT LIFESTYLE CHANGES
IMPLEMENTATIONS SHOULD HAVE
BEEN ENACTED TWO YEARS AGO.
STOP BEING DECEIVED BY THOSE
WHO WEAR THE MASK THAT ALLOWS
FOR HUMAN DEGRADATION TO
CONTINUE IN SEATTLE.
ALSO REMEMBER, THE SAME VICTIMS
SHALL BE VOTING IN THE CURRENT
AND FUTURE ELECTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS DAVID
HAYNES FOLLOWED BY CYNTHIA.
>> THANK YOU, DAVID HAYNES,
DISTRICT 7. REGARDING THE
SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY
ORDINANCE, COUNCIL SEEKS TO
SEEK DELAY FOR ONE YEAR, YOU
KNOW, THAT STARTS TO PROVE THAT
THE PREVIOUS AND PRESENT CITY
COUNCIL IS PURPOSELY DELAYING
COPS ACCESSING BETTER CRIME-
FIGHTING TOOLS TO HELP THE
SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
IMPROVE THEIR FOCUS ON THE EVIL
IN THE STREETS THAT ARE
CONDUCTING AN UNCIVIL WAR WITH
DOLLAR AMOUNTS.
IT'S AS IF WE ARE WAITING FOR
THE PROTESTERS TO GIVE THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY APPROVAL TO
APPROVE THESE TYPES OF
SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT WHICH WE
KNOW THEY NEVER WILL.
I THINK IT IS OBVIOUS THE CITY
COUNCIL, MAYOR, PROSECUTORS AND
HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT LEND
A REQUIREMENT IS ENDANGERING
AND DISCRIMINATING AGAINST
INNOCENT LAW-ABIDING HOMELESS
CITIZENS WHO ARE HELPING BY
USING MOST MONEY FROM THE
HOMELESS CRISIS TO TREAT AND
FOCUS ON LEAD AND ACLU FUNDED
IDEA OF RUNNING INTERFERENCE
FOR ALL THESE EVIL CUSTOMS
VIOLATING REPEAT OFFENDING
CRIMINALS. AND I HATE TO SAY
IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM
ARE BIPOC -- ESCALATING
VIOLENCE WERE EVIL ADULTS WERE
ALLOWED TO STAY OUT OF JAIL ARE
MISGUIDING YOUTH AND HAVING THEM
DO THEIR BIDDING.
AND OUTSMARTING THE POLICE
CHIEF WHO HAS ONLY BEEN EIGHT
YEARS OF CRIME-FIGHTING OUT OF
HIS 25 YEARS OF TRYING TO DO IS
THIS RELATION OUTREACH.
DO YOU KNOW THAT HE ONLY
FOCUSED ON THE CRIME HOTSPOTS
THAT THE MEDIA WAS REPORTING ON?
AND THEN SPECIFICALLY ONLY
CLEARING THAT AREA TO THE POINT
WHERE YOU COULDN'T BE A BUST
WRITER WITHOUT BEING HARASSED
BY THE COPS TELLING YOU YOU
CAN'T BE. BUT EVERYONE AROUND
THERE INCLUDING THE EVIL DRUG
PUSHING OPERATIONS OF PIONEER
SQUARE AND WEST LAKE AT
NIGHTTIME HAS BEEN RECLAIMED BY
ALL THE EVIL CRIMINALS THAT YOU
ALL HAVE A --
>> AND NEXT SPEAKER IS CYNTHIA
FOLLOWED BY BILL FULTON SHOWING
IS NOT PRESENT.
CYNTHIA?
>> I AM CYNTHIA.
AN INDEPENDENT DISTRICT 6
RESIDENT.
MY COMMENTS ARE REGARDING THE
SURVEILLANCE ORDINANCE.
EXTENSION REQUEST LETTER STATES
WILL BE GETTING REMOVED FROM
THE MASTER LIST BECAUSE OF THE
NO LONGER IN USE.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY HAVE
BEEN REMOVED OR THAT THEY ARE
NO LONGER SENDING ADDRESSES OF
CELL PHONE DATA TO SPECIFIC A.
IT IS A TECHNOLOGY THAT COLLECTS
ADDRESSES FOR WI-FI AND
BLUETOOTH DEVICES IN RANGE.
IT IS SPECIFIC NETWORK ADDRESS
OF YOUR PHONE OR TABLET OR
DEVICE.
THE COLLECTOR GPS LOCATION
SINCE TOTHE CLOUD WITH TRAVEL
TIME ALONG ROADWAY SEGMENTS.
IS ABLE TO PERFORM GEOLOCATION
TRACKING.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE GPS ENABLED
DISABLED AND NOT NEAR A WI-FI
NETWORK, IF YOU HAVE BLUETOOTH
TURNED ON THEN YOUR ADDRESS
WILL BE PICKED UP AS SOON AS
YOU COME WITHIN THE RANGE.
THE TECHNOLOGY IS A COVERT
NONCONSENSUAL INVASION OF
PRIVACY.
IF MOVED FROM THE MASTER LIST
IT WOULD CREATE A DANGEROUS
SITUATION AND THE SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGY -- PUBLIC OVERSIGHT
OR CONTROL.
IF IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE
MASTER LIST IT WOULD BE IN
SCOPE FOR THE CITY AUDITORS
REVIEW.
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE SPECIFIC
UP FROM THE MASTER LIST.
THANK YOU.
>> CAN WE CIRCLE BACK TO CARMEN
AND WELL LYNN?
> GO AHEAD.
>> CARMEN, YOU ARE UP.
YOU WANT TO PRESS STAR SIX.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> YES.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
>> WE CAN HEAR YOU.
>> OKAY, THANK YOU.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY WHITE
GIG WORKERS NEED LAWMAKERS TO
RAISE STANDARDS LIKE CAPPING
THE PALE POLICIES.
I AM NOW PARTIALLY DISABLED DUE
TO A BACK INJURY.
THE GIG INDUSTRY IS THE ONLY
INDUSTRY THAT ALLOWS ME TO SET
MY OWN HOURS WHILE WORKING AT A
PACE I'M COMFORTABLE WITH.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF GIG
WORKERS WITH DISABILITIES.
OFTEN GIG WORK IS THE ONLY
SOURCE OF INCOME.
LOBBYING FOR THE ABILITY TO
FORCE WORKERS TO WORK MORE WITH
LESS PAY AND IMPLEMENTING WAYS
TO UNDERMINE THE FLEXIBILITY I
DEPEND ON.
THEY ARE FINANCIALLY IN A
FITTING KEEPING MORE AND MORE
PROFITS FOR THEMSELVES WHICH
LEGISLATION -- WILL NEVER
INVEST IN THE WORKERS.
CAPPING THE PAY CAMPAIGN
STANDARD POLICY THIS YEAR WILL
ALLOW ME TO EARN WAYS IN WHICH
I CAN THRIVE AND FLOURISH.
AND NOT SIMPLY SURVIVE TO WORK
ONE MORE DAY.
WE ARE TRUSTING LAWMAKERS TO
PASS A POLICY FOR US BECAUSE WE
ARE NOT DISPOSABLE AND SHOULD
NOT BE EXPLOITED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
>> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS WELL
LYNN.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> YES.
>> OKAY.
SORRY I MISSED THE FIRST ONE.
>> THAT IS OKAY.
>> I AM A GIG WORK DRIVER
PARTNER. I AM CURRENTLY ALSO A
MEMBER, AM HERE BECAUSE I AM A
SUPPORTER OF THE PALE CONTINUUM
AND WANT TO SEE ACTION UNTIL
THE PUBLIC WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
GIG PLATFORM MARKET IN THE TIME
PERIOD AND THE IMPACT TO US.
I STARTED DOING THE GIG WORK
FEBRUARY 2020 BECAUSE I JUST
MOVED TO SEATTLE AND I HAD TIME
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SHOULD I DO.
WHEN I STARTED DOING THE PART-
TIME JOB I STARTED TO GROW
GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH THE
FLEXIBLE WORK TIME, REASONABLE
PAY AND THE HARDY PUT IN THE
MORE YOU GET THE URGE.
NO CONTACT WITH THE CUSTOMER
WHICH WAS GOOD FOR THE PANDEMIC
SITUATION.
EVERY DAY I WOULD GO TO THE
WAREHOUSE LOCATION WHERE THEY
WOULD CUT ME AN ACCOUNT AND
FINISH THE BAG JOB.
THEY TREAT US LIKE EMPLOYEES
MOST OF THE TIME EVEN THOUGH WE
ARE AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
THEY PAY A GUARANTEE FOR HOURS,
IT WAS ONLY $16.75.
THAT WAS ALREADY BELOW SEATTLE
MINIMUM WAGE.
ONCE YOU ADD THE MILES AND TAXES
IT COSTS LIKE SIX DOLLARS OR
SEVEN DOLLARS PER HOUR.
THEY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO WORK
ON DEMAND WHICH MEANS YOU MAKE
LESS THAN MINIMUM PAY AND THAT
HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME OF THE
DAY.
THE OTHER DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO
WORK IN RUSH-HOUR NOT MAKING
ENOUGH MONEY AND THEY CUT THE
WEEKLY REWARD COSTING THE DRIVER
60% LESS EACH WEEK.
I WAS HERE, I WANT THAT TO BE
CHANGED.
I WANT TO HELP O█THER GIG
DRIVERS.
WHO CURRENTLY STRUGGLE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THAT IS THE END OF THE LIST
PRESIDENT.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.
WE WENT THROUGH OUR EIGHT
PUBLIC COMMENT PEOPLE THAT
SIGNED UP.
>> CORRECT. EIGHT AND ONE WAS
NOT PRESENT.
>> THANK YOU.
I SHOULD ADD IN THE FUTURE WE
ARE WORKING ON CHANGING SOME OF
THE DIRECTION AND RULES WHEN
PEOPLE CALL INTO PUBLIC COMMENT.
WHAT WILL BE ACCEPTED AND WHAT
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
I WILL BE WORKING WITH THE
CLERKS AND MY COLLEAGUES.
BUT I WILL MAKE THE DECISION TO
MUTE PEOPLE WHEN I FIND THE
LANGUAGE TO BE OFFENSIVE, RUDE,
RACIST, SEXIST OR ANY OF THE
ABOVE.
I THINK WE ARE KIND OF TIRED OF
THAT NOW AND YOU CANNOT CALL IN
AND JUST STATE WHAT YOUR
CONCERNS ARE AS IT IS PUBLIC,.
WE ARE ALL HERE LISTENING.
WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOUR
CONCERNS ARE BUT WHEN WE HEAR
HATE SPEECH OVER AND OVER, THAT
DOESN'T HELP THE MESSAGE IF YOU
ARE TRYING TO GET ONE TO US.
SO, IN THE FUTURE, SOON, WE
WILL BE EXERCISING THAT RIGHT.
AS A POINT OF ORDER.
SO WHEN PEOPLE CALL INTO PUBLIC
COMMENT, THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE
PUBLIC COMMENT.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW THAT WE ARE DONE WITH
PUBLIC COMMENT LET'S MOVE ON TO
HER CALENDAR.
OUR AGENDA.
WE ARE AT COMMITTEE REPORTS.
ITEM ONE I BELIEVE IS
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON'S ITEM.
PLEASE READ INTO THE RECORD.
>> CLERK FILE 34, REQUEST FOR
SIX MONTH EXTENSION FOR THE
FILING OF THE SURVEILLANCE
IMPACT REPORT DUE MARCH 1,
2022.
>> THANK YOU.
I MOVED TO APPROVE CLERK FILE
314490, IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.
TO APPROVE THE CLERK FILE.
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, THE FLOOR
IS YOURS.
>> THANK YOU.
THINK YOU VERY MUCH.
SO, THIS CLERK FILE IS A
RESPONSE TO THE EXECUTIVE
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL OF
AN ADDITIONAL SIX MONTH
EXTENSION TO THE PREVIOUS
DEADLINE FOR A SET OF
SURVEILLANCE IMPACTS REPORTS.
THAT PREVIOUS DEADLINE WAS
MARCH 1. THESE ARE A LAST SET
OF REPORTS IT WAS COLD
RETROACTIVE SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGIES OR TECHNOLOGIES
ALREADY IN USE BY THE CITY WHEN
THE SURVEILLANCE ORDINANCE WAS
PASSED.
THE DELAY WAS DUE TO A
COMBINATION OF EVENTS INCLUDING
PRIORITIZATION OF COVID RELATED
EFFORTS, ADDITIONAL PUBLIC
COMMENT REQUESTED BY THE
COMMUNITY SURVEILLANCE WORKING
GROUP, AND STAFFING CHANGES.
AND THE NEW DEADLINE WOULD BE
SEPTEMBER 1, 2022.
AND, I REQUEST SUPPORT FOR
APPROVING THIS CLERK FILE.
AND I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS
CLERK FILE MAKES NO CHANGE TO
THE MASTER LIST OF SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGIES.
ANY CHANGES TO THAT LIST WILL
BE MADE BY A SEPARATE CLERK FILE
AND CENTRAL STAFF IS CHECKING
ON THE TIMING OF THAT.
AND WITH THAT I CAN ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION.
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, I WANT TO
STATE FOR THE RECORDS OF THE
VIEWING PUBLIC KNOWS, WE DID
RECEIVE A MEMO THAT YOU
FORWARDED FROM YOU ACTUALLY
úREGARDING THE PURPOSE OF THE
EXTENSION AND THE SUMMARY ABOUT
WHY YOU WERE MOVING TO EXTEND

I BELIEVE THIS MEMO IS DATED
FEBRUARY 22nd.
I'M SORRY, IT WAS TO YOU AND
THE WHOLE COMMITTEE, YOUR
COMMITTEE THE VICE CHAIR ON

THAT SENT US THE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION.
I FORGOT WHO YOU WERE WORKING
WITH AT CENTRAL STAFF.

>> LISA KANE.
>> SORRY ABOUT THAT.
WE HADN'T OPPORTUNITY TO
DISCUSS AND WE GOT THE
INFORMATION THE ACLU AND A MEMO
FROM THE FOLKS FROM JIM FROM
I.T.
TELLING US WHAT YOU ARE MOVING.
I WASN'T CLEAR ON THE CLERK
FILE.
I BELIEVE COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD HAS SOMETHING FOR YOU.
>> I JUST WANT TO CIRCLE BACK
ON WHAT INFORMATION YOU JUST
PROVIDED, COUNCILMEMBER
NELSON, AND I RECEIVED SIMILAR
INFORMATION FROM LISA AND
STEFAN MY OFFICE.
AND WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT WILL
STAY ON THE LIST.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO SPECULATE,
BUT IF YOU KNOW, I WOULD BE
INTERESTED TO UNDERSTAND WHY SO
MANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT
HAVE CONTACTED US BELIEVE IT IS
COMING OFF THE LIST.
>> I DO NOT KNOW THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WE WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW-UP.
AND GLAD WE'VE ALL CONFIRMED IT
WILL BE STAYING.
>> YES.
>> OKAY.
NOT SEEING ANY MORE HANDS UP,
ANY MORE COMMENTS FOR
COUNCILMEMBER, WILL THE CLERK
CALL THE ROLL ON THE APPROVAL
OF THE CLERK FILE.
>>
>> COUNCILMEMBER MORALES.
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER NELSON .
>> AYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER PEDERSEN.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT.

>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT JUAREZ .

>> THE MOTION CARRIES.
MOVING ON TO OTHER BUSINESS IS

NOT SEEING ANY HANSA.
NOT SEEING ANYONE ASKING TO BE
EXCUSED.
BEFORE WE ADJOURN, LET'S SEE,
COLLEAGUES THIS CONCLUDES OUR
ITEMS OF TODAY'S BUSINESS.
OUR NEXT MEETING IS ARCH 15th
AT 2:00.
HAVE A WONDERFUL AFTERNOON.
WE ARE ADJOURNED.
