BE PRESENTING A PROCLAMATION
RECOGNIZING MARCH 20 AS --
AWARENESS DAY I WILL FIRST

A.I.D.S.
AWARENESS DAY THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL HAS
RECOGNIZED THE DEVASTATING TOLL
THE HIV A.I.D.S.
EPIDEMIC HAS HAD ON OUR NATIVE
COMMUNITIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE
RADICAL ROLE THAT INDIGENOUS
FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS

THE FIFTH DECADE OF LEARNING TO
LIVE WITH THIS AWFUL DISEASE I

OF THE -- TO ACCEPT OUR
PROCLAMATION DECLARING NATIVE
HIV A.I.D.S.
AWARENESS DAY THIS SUNDAY,
MARCH 20, 2022.
IT IS OUR HOPE THIS

UNDERSTANDING START
CONVERSATIONS AND SPOTLIGHT THE
WORK BEING DONE -- IT ALSO
SHOWS SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE LIVING
WITH HIV IN OUR COMMUNITIES AT
THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO
SUSPEND THE RULES TO ALLOW OUR
GUEST TO SPEAK.
HOLD UP A MINUTE, SEEING THAT
THERE IS NO OBJECTION TO THE
SUSPENSION OF THE RULES THE

>> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.
CAN I TELL YOU HOW PROUD I AM
TO BE ABLE TO SAY TO ANOTHER
NATIVE AND LATINO WOMAN LIKE ME,
THAT I AM JUST EXCITED TO SEE
YOU AS A PRESIDENT SO IT IS
AMAZING THANK YOU ALL AND THANK
YOU TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR
HAVING ME TODAY IT IS ALWAYS AN
HONOR TO PRESENT TO YOU ALL AND
I AM ALWAYS VERY MUCH
APPRECIATIVE OF THE WAYS THAT
YOU HONOR -- HERE IN THE CITY
OF SEATTLE IT IS SOMETHING THAT
REALLY I HAVE TO TELL YOU IS
UNPRECEDENTED ACROSS THE NATION
SO THANK YOU I LIKE TO SHARE A
FEW STATISTICS.
WITH YOU.
SO, THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 25%
OF AMERICAN INDIANS ALASKA
NATIVES LIVING WITH HIV WHO ARE
UNAWARE OF THEIR STATUS STILL
IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON 48%
OF ALL AMERICAN INDIAN ALASKA
NATIVE PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV
LIVE IN KING COUNTY IT IS
IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT.
WE HAVE THE FOURTH HIGHEST
MORTALITY RATE FOR FOLKS LIVING
WITH HIV.
I THINK A LOT OF THIS HAPPENS
BECAUSE HIV HIT OUR
RESERVATIONS LATE, AND WE ARE A
VERY MIGRANT POPULATION BY
NATURE.
HERE WE ARE IN SEATTLE WHERE WE
HAVE A VERY HIGH POPULATION OF
URBAN AMERICAN INDIAN ALASKA
NATIVE FOLKS COUNCILMEMBER
WAREZ AND I WERE DISCUSSING THE
OTHER NIGHT THAT WE REMEMBER
THOSE DATES AS -- I REMEMBER
THE DAYS WHEN WE WERE LOSING OUR
BROTHERS, I LIVED IN SAN
FRANCISCO AT THAT TIME WHERE I
COULD NOT GET MEDS WHERE THE
REAGAN ADMINISTRATION REFUSED
TO PAY FOR MEDICATION REFERRING
TO IT AS THE GAY PLAGUE.
-- LIFESTYLES THAT WERE
INAPPROPRIATE AND I REMEMBER
THOSE DAYS I ACTUALLY ENTERED
INTO COMMUNITY HEALTH AS AN HIV
CASE MANAGER AND I REMEMBER
WHAT IT WAS LIKE -- AND ONE OF
THE REASONS THAT I AM HERE
TODAY IS BECAUSE I KNEW THAT
THE ISSUES WERE NOT WITH OUR
PEOPLE NOT ISSUES WITH
PROMISCUITY OR RISKY BEHAVIORS
BUT THE ISSUES WERE WITH
SYSTEMS AND SO HERE I STAND IN
FRONT OF YOU AS THE PRESIDENT
AND CEO WITH INCREDIBLE PRIDE
LOOKING BACK ON THOSE DAYS WHEN
WE WERE LOSING OUR RELATIVES
AND NOW BEING ABLE TO STAND
BEFORE YOU ACCEPTING A
PROCLAMATION FROM A NATIVE
WOMAN AND I JUST WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU SO NOW WHEN WE SAY
SOMETHING LIKE I WANT TO SEE
THE DAYS WHEN WE END HIV I KNOW
IT IS POSSIBLE AND I WANT YOU
TO KNOW THAT THE SEATTLE INDIAN
HEALTH BOARD IS DOING
EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO
WORK FROM PREVENTION MECHANISM
TO ALSO EARLY INTERVENTION
PROVIDING PREP AND INTO
TREATMENT SO WITH THAT I JUST
WANT TO SAY WE ABSOLUTELY
ACCEPT THIS HONOR AND WE
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR INVESTMENT IN
OUR COMMUNITY SO THANK YOU.

MY COLLEAGUES WHO WOULD LIKE TO
SAY ANYTHING?
OKAY, LET'S SEE, I AM NOT
SEEING ANYONE.

ESTHER FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

HAD THIS CONVERSATION OFFLINE
BUT I HAD IT WITH A COUPLE
OTHER FOLKS INCLUDING SOME OF
MY YOUNGER STAFFERS WHO WERE
NOT HERE IN THE DAY WHEN -- SO
WITHOUT GOING TOO FAR BACK IN
THE TIME MACHINE I WANT TO KEEP
IT FRONT AND CENTER -- I THINK
THE THING THAT BROKE MY HEART
IS AT THE RATE WE WERE LOSING
RELATIVES AND BROTHERS AND
SISTERS THE REAGAN
ADMINISTRATION TURNED ITS BACK
AND WOULD NOT REACH OUT AND --
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT -- IN
ANY EVENT THANK YOU FOR ALL

EQUITY BUT SHE REFUSED TO DO SO
AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE
DOCUMENTS AND TEXT MESSAGES
RELATED TO HER REQUEST --
$35,000 INSTEAD OF JUST MEETING
WITH US -- AND THERE ARE OTHERS
I AM TALKING ABOUT AND SO --
AND SO IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE
FOR THE MAYOR AT THE TIME AND

REQUESTING A MEETING.
THE FURTHER IMPACT OF THE
COMMUNITY AND WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THE CANNABIS BOARD AND THE
CITY THESE PEOPLE HAVE -- AND
THEY ARE GONE NOW, THERE ARE
ZERO BLACK OWNED CANNABIS
STORES IN SEATTLE IT MAKES NO
SENSE.

WAS THE CITY VALUED DIVERSITY
TOLERANCE AND INCLUSIVITY BUT
AFTER 28 YEARS I JUST WANTED TO
SHARE THAT I HAVE BEEN AND I AM
NOW BEING FIRED OVER THE VACCINE
MANDATE AND I WANTED THE
COUNCIL TO JUST HEAR AND
REALIZE THAT THE LIVES OF THE
PEOPLE THEY ARE IMPACTING WITH
THIS MANDATE, ME SPECIFICALLY,
I AM A SUPER HEALTHY PHYSICALLY
FIT VERY HEALTHY PERSON BUT
WHEN I TOOK THIS DECISION TO MY
LORD AND SAVIOR MY GUIDING
COUNSEL IN MY LIFE WHO IS JESUS
JESUS CHRIST I PRAYERFULLY
CONSIDERED THIS DECISION AND
BASED ON MY RELATIONSHIP WITH
MY LORD AND SAVIOR WHO IS KING
OF MY LIFE IT WAS CLEAR TO ME
THAT THIS VACCINE WAS NOT IN
HIS PLAN FOR MY LIFE TO PUT
THIS INJECTION IN MY BODY
BECAUSE OF MY SINCERELY HELD
RELIGIOUS BELIEF AND MY DESIRE
TO HONOR MY CREATOR I AM UNABLE
TO GET THIS VACCINE AND BECAUSE
OF THAT I HAVE BEEN
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST I HAVE
BEEN SEGREGATED I HAVE BEEN THE
VICTIM OF HATE SPEECH AT -- IN
WAYS THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN
EVER IN MY 28 YEARS AT -- I
JUST WANT THE COUNCIL TO KNOW
THAT IT HAS BEEN A HUGE IMPACT
AND HAS CAUSED SOME STRESS AND
CHAOS IN MY FAMILY MY KIDS
WHERE I AM THE BREADWINNER.

ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE CITY
LIGHT DEPARTMENT; AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR AND THE GENERAL
MANAGER AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICER OF CITY LIGHT TO
EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
SEATTLE, THE UPPER SKAGIT
INDIAN TRIBE, AND THE NATIONAL
PARK SERVICE.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THE
BILL PASS.
>> AS THE TITLE SO APTLY
CONVEYS, THIS LEGISLATION DOES
CONCERN THE TRANSFER OF ABOUT
300 PRE-CONTACT ARTIFACTS THAT
WERE FOUND DURING THE 2013
RESTORATION PROJECT OF THE --
AND THAT IS PROPERTY THAT IS
OWNED BY CITY LIGHT, AND SO
THIS LEGISLATION TRANSFERS THE
OWNERSHIP AND DURATION TO THE
UPPER SKAGIT TRIBE WHERE IT WAS
DETERMINED THROUGH ETHNOGRAPHIC
RESEARCH THAT THE UPPER SKAGIT
TRIBE HAD A PERMANENT
SETTLEMENT DURING THE TIME THAT
THESE ARTIFACTS DATE FROM.
AND SO THESE ARTIFACTS ARE
RIGHT NOW AT THE -- WHERE THEY
COULD BE MOVED, THAT IS UP TO
THE TRIBE -- OWNERSHIP TO THE
TRIBE.

QUESTIONS THAT ANYONE WOULD
HAVE TWO COUNCILMEMBER NELSON

ORDINANCE RELATING TO LAND USE
AND ZONING; AMENDING SECTIONS

THE SEATTLE MUNICIPAL CODE TO
ALLOW FOR TRANSFER OF
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OR
TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS
IN THE NC3-200 AND THE NC3P-200
ZONES.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THE
BILL PASS.
>> COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS YOU
ARE THE CHAIR OF THIS
COMMITTEE.
>> COUNCIL BILL 120266 RELATES
TO LAND-USE AND ZONING IN --
ZONES.
THE TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT
RIGHTS -- OR TRANSFER OF
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL ARE
PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW PROPERTIES
IN -- ANOTHER SITE ALLOWING
THAT SITE TO BUILD A LARGER
FLOOR AREA THAN WOULD OTHERWISE
BE PERMITTED.
-- BECAUSE AS A LANDMARK THEY
CANNOT NECESSARILY GROW THEIR
BUILDING AND THEY NEED
ADDITIONAL DOLLARS TO KEEP
THEIR HISTORIC BUILDING IN
PLACE.
TDR IS ONLY APPLIED IN CERTAIN
AREAS AND CERTAIN ZONES
PARTICULARLY IN -- TDR IS
ALLOWED IN FIRST SALE BUT NOT
CURRENTLY ALLOWED IN
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL 3 AND
200, 3 TO 200 ZONES.
-- DURING COMMITTEE CENTRAL
STAFF MEMBER -- SHOWED A MAP
THAT WOULD DESCRIBE THESE WORDS
BETTER THAN ANY WORDS CAN
DESCRIBE BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE
ARE MOST ZONES ALLOWING FOR
THIS AND THEN A VERY NARROW
SLIVER OF NOT ALLOWING FOR THIS
SO THE LEGISLATION WOULD ALLOW
FOR -- IT DOES INCLUDE
RESTRICTIONS INCLUDING THAT THE
SITE RECEIVING THE TDR MUST BE
ON THE SAME BLOCK AS THE SITE
SELLING THE TDR.
-- HAS A HEIGHT LIMIT OF 350
FEET AND THE FLOOR AREA GAINED
CANNOT BE MORE THAN 110,526
SQUARE FEET.
THERE IS ONLY ONE LANDMARK THAT
CURRENTLY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO
SELL TDR LEGISLATION UNDER THIS
LEGISLATION AND THAT IS THE
SORRENTO HOTEL AND THERE ARE
OTHER ELIGIBLE LANDMARK SITES
THAT COULD BECOME ELIGIBLE TO
SELL TDR IF THEY ARE MARKED IN
THE FUTURE.
THAT IS THE COMMITTEE REPORT.
>> THANK YOU, ARE THERE ANY
COMMENTS OR CONCERNS OR
QUESTIONS THAT WE WANT TO ASK
COUNCILMEMBER STRESS?
NOT SEEING ANY, WILL THE CLERK
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE
PASSAGE OF THE BILL?
>> [ ROLL BEING CALLED ]
