IT IS AFFILIATED WITH USD W.
THIS IS CONCERNING TO CANNABIS
RETAILERS WHO WORK IN GOOD
FAITH WITH THE MAN'S OFFICE AND

LEGISLATION THAT WILL PROVIDE A
CRITICAL ISSUE TO ADDRESS
EQUITY ISSUES IN THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY.
RETAILERS ARE VERY HAPPY TO
WORK IN THE INDUSTRY AND THE
WIND BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY
DAMAGED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS.
ALONE, WE UNDERSTAND THIS
LEGISLATION HAS EQUITY NEEDS
ASSESSMENT THAT IS DUCTED BY AN
ORGANIZATION NO BIAS OR AGENDA
IN THE INDUSTRY SUCH AS A LOCAL
COLLEGE.
THIS STAKEHOLDERS ON THE
ADVISORY COMMITTEE WOULD HELP
THE CITY SHAPE THE SCOPE OF
FREE EFFORTS.
ALLOWING THE STAKEHOLDERS
CONTROL THE NEEDS ASSESS THAT
WILL INFORM THE CANNABIS EQUITY
ADVISORY OMMITTEE, IT'S VERY
QUESTION THE NEUTRALITY AND
IMPARTIALITY.
THIS DEALS WITH THE START.
THIS IS NOT GOOD GOVERNANCE.
WE URGE THE COMMITTEE TO REJECT
ANY SUCH AMENDMENT THAT WOULD
--
>> THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.
HAVE THE REST, PLEASE SEND
THOSE IN.
I'M GOING TO GO TO BROOKE.

ESTABLISHED DOES SENSORY.
I AM HERE TO SUPPORT THE
LEGISLATION THAT INCREASES JOB
RETENTION FOR CANNABIS WORKERS.
I ALSO SUPPORT THE CITY
COMMITTEE COLLABORATE ON OF
CONVICTION BECOME PART OF THE
SEATTLE CITY LIMITS.
I APPRECIATE THE ORDINANCE THAT
RE BEING PUSHED FORWARD.
I AM GLAD THAT WE CAN COUNT ON
FUNDS DATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
FOR CANNABIS EQUITY WORKERS.
THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE
GET FUNDS AND WE GET THE WORK
DONE.
I AM GLAD THAT WE CAN COUNT ON
THE CITY TO FUND THE CANNABIS
NEEDS ASSESS.
THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
ESPECIALLY WITH COMPILATION OF
INDIVIDUALS THE GREATNESS.
THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS
COMPOSED OF WORKERS, KEY
COMMITTEE MEMBERS OTHERS TO
SUPPORT THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, I
WOULD LIKE TO BE ON HIS
ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
THIS WILL HELP INFORM, RESEARCH
AND WE WILL DO THE WORK.
WILL PUSH MORE EQUITABLE
POLICIES IN THE FUTURE.
THIS LEGISLATION IS A GOOD
DARK.
YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ME
ADVOCATING FOR A LOT OF
CHANGES.
I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO
ADVOCATE FOR CHANGES I WANTED
TO THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY.
>> I APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU

HEATER BE FOLLOWED BY MIKE AND
THEN AHMED.
>> HELLO MY NAME IS PETER
MANNING.
I DEAL WITH CANNABIS WE OPPOSE
THIS FORUM OF UNIONIZATION.
IS BIKE U.S. CW.
WE LOOK AT LIKE THIS.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO SAY EQUITY
AND YOU ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
EQUITY FOR PEOPLE HERE IN THE
STATE OF WASHINGTON, THE BLACK
IN FRONT COMMUNITY, YOU SHOULD
COME TO US AND TALK TO US ABOUT
ANY TYPE OF POLICY LIKE THIS.
THIS SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER
ATTEMPT AT A BLACK FACE ON A
WHITE AGENDA.
NOBODY HAS COME TO OUR
COMMUNITY TO TALK TO US ABOUT
THIS.
THEY ARE TRYING TO MERGE SOCIAL
EQUITY.
SOCIAL EQUITY IS DIFFERENT THAN
ANYTHING RELATED TO THE UNION
AND PUTTING MONEY ENRICHING
FOLKS POCKETS. WE TALK ABOUT
SOCIAL EQUITY TWO FULL.
THIS DEALS WITH THE BLACK AND
BROWN PEOPLE IN THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY IN WASHINGTON.
THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD STAY
FOCUSED ON.
WE SHOULD NOT CAUGHT UP THE
CIRCULATION.
THANK YOU.
>> YES, I BELIEVE THAT WE SPOKE
YESTERDAY.
LIKE?
BE FOLLOWED BY AHMAD KING.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> YES, GOOD MORNING. MY NAME
IS MICAH 5. I AM WITH CITY
COLLECTIVE.
WE ARE THE SECOND BLACKOUTS
DISPENSARY IN WASHINGTON DATE.
WE WERE THE FIRST IN DOWNTOWN
SEATTLE.
WHILE WE BUT UNJUSTLY THOSE
DOWN, WE NOT RELATED TO THE
CITY OF THE.
IT HAS BEEN A PAINFUL SIX
YEARS.
I AM A GENERATION THE CENTRAL
DISTRICT.
I THOUGHT REALLY HARD TO GET A
MEDICAL DISPENSARY, JUST LIKE A
LOT OF BLACK AND BROWN
INDIVIDUALS.
I'M FIGHTING HARD TO GET BACK
INTO THE MARKET.
THIS AMENDMENT, AS FAR AS
UNIONIZATION.
CANNOT BACK SMALL BUSINESS LIKE
EMERALD CITY COLLECTIVE AND
OTHERS THAT ARE ONLY GETTING TO
THIS MARKET, BACK INTO THIS
MARKET AND EXPECT THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO BE TAXED EXTRA.
THIS IS UNIONIZATION.
THIS IS NOT A STARBUCKS
SITUATION.
I URGE THE CITY COUNCIL, I URGE
THE MAYOR TO TAKE THIS OUT.
WE CANNOT AT THIS IN HERE.
IT IS UNFAIR TO US, CANNABIS
RETAILERS THAT HAD A EIGHT YEAR
HEAD START WITHOUT THIS.
NOW THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
SOCIAL EQUITY COMING INTO
SEATTLE, BLACK AND BROWN,
COMING INTO KING COUNTY, INTO
SEATTLE, IT IS NOT FAIR.
IT IS NOT FAIR.
UNDERSTAND THIS, THE SOCIAL
EQUITY PROGRAM CURRENTLY MORE
SOCIAL EQUITY ADVOCACY HAS TO
COME TO THE CITY OF SEATTLE.
THEY CAN GO ANYWHERE WITHIN
KING COUNTY.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A SITUATION
WHERE YOU WANT TO UNIONIZE
BARTENDERS ADD EXTRA TEXT
NATION ON --
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE WILL BE DECLARING WITH THE
AMENDMENT DOES HERE SOON., YOUR
NEXT.
>> GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS
AHMED KING.
I REPRESENT BLACK EXCELLENCE IN
CANNABIS.
I HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY IMPACTED
BY THE WAR AND DRUG.
ALSO, MY FATHER HAS HAD A
NUMBER OF STORES TAKEN AWAY
UNJUST LEAVE.
IT HAS BEEN VERY UNFAIR.
IT WAS ALSO A LOSS FOR HIM, AND
83-YEAR-OLD BLACKMAN.
AND AGAIN REITERATES OF THE
POINT, THIS IS UNFAIR.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT
COMES TO RETAIL.
THERE HAS BEEN A AND EIGHT YEAR
HAS DARK.
SO, NOW YOU WANT TO UNIONIZE
AND THERE IS ALREADY AN EIGHT
YEAR GAP.
THAT IS A LOT OF GENERATION OF
WEALTH THAT HAS ALREADY PASSED.
AND, LIKE, THESE STORIES DO NOT
EVEN NEED TO BE INSIDE THE CITY
OF SEATTLE.
THEY CAN BE ANYWHERE IN KING
COUNTY.
AND, WHY IS IT THAT NOBODY CAME
TO PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY AND
DIRECTLY ASKED OF OR CAME AND
ASKED US TO BE PART OF AN
ADVISORY BOARD?
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE THE
SAME SONG AND DANCE.
THIS IS WHEN IT COMES TO MY
PEOPLE, WE ARE NOT NECESSARILY
INDIGENOUS TO THE LEFT THERE IS
ALWAYS A STUDY OR THERE HAS TO
BE SOME WORK.
I REALLY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT
THAT IS.
I ACTUALLY LIKE A LOT OF THE
THINGS YOUNG BROTHER OVER HERE
SAID.
I WOULD LIKE, AS FAR AS BLACK
AND BROWN PEOPLE GO, THAT WE
HAVE MORE SOLIDARITY AND REALLY
STUDIED THESE ISSUES THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.
I APPRECIATE YOU.
>> OKAY.
WE ARE GOING TO GO TO OUR LAST
FOUR PEOPLE ONLINE.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO.
BROOK, IF YOU CAN HIT STAR
SIX, WE WILL TAKE YOUR PUBLIC
COMMENT.
STAR . RATE, GOOD MORNING.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
YOU MAKE IT MET GOOD MORNING
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE.
I AM HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF
THE WASHINGTON CANNABIS OCH.
THIS IS A STATEWIDE TRADE
ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING
CANNABIS THIS OF ALL LIFE
TYPES.
ALL CANNABIS BUSINESSES IN
WASHINGTON ARE BY DEFINITION
MEMBERS.
THIS VARIES IN SIZE.
ONE OF THE FIRST STATE TO
LEGALIZE OF THE INDUSTRY HAD
THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY AND ALL
OF THE CHALLENGES.
UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE THERE ARE
BUSINESSES THAT ARE THRIVING,
THERE ARE MORE THAN ARE NOT.
WE ARE DISCUSSING THREE
PROPOSALS THAT AFFECT THE
INDUSTRY.
OUR REMAINING CONCERNS ARE
TECHNICAL IN NATURE.
ASSESS DESCRIBES A SPECIAL
ADVISORY COMMUNITY.
WE ASK THE LEGISLATION BE
AMENDED TO CODIFY ANTICIPATION
úFROM THE THREE GROUPS TO BE
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED.
THE ORDINANCE JOB RETENTION
DEALS WITH WORKERS.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE PROCESSORS WHO
MAKE EDIBLES THEY ARE FOCUSED
ON ONE NEXT.
THE STAFFING NEEDS LOOK
DIFFERENT.
CONSIDER THERE ARE A WIDE
BACTRIM OF INDIVIDUALS WITH
SPECIFIC TALENTS WORKING IN THE
INDUSTRY.
BUSINESSES EVEN OF THE SAME
LIFE THAT CAN BE DIFFERENT.
WE HAVE CAN ENFORCEMENT.
WITH WHAT IS THE SECTION 230.
THESE REGULATIONS ARE COMPLEX
ON TOP OF OTHER
REGULARIZATION'S.
WE ASK THAT THE AGENCY RETAINS
FULL ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY.
>> THANK YOU.
DANICA ADAM?
PRESS STAR 6 .
>> HELLO MY NAME IS DANICA.
I AM IN ADVOCACY DIRECTOR FOR
THE GREATER PROJECT.
I WILL TALK ABOUT THE USE OF
COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS
THAT ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY
THE WIND DRUG.
WE ALSO ARE GOING TO ADDRESS
CANNABIS CONVICTIONS.
BLACK PEOPLE COULD BE ARRESTED
FOR MARIJUANA POSSESSION IN
WASHINGTON DATE.
THE LAST TIME I TEXTED, I SPOKE
ON HOW WE GET PENALIZED BY THE
CRIMINALIZATION OF CANNABIS.
THIS DEALS WITH THE INITIATIVE.
I MADE IT VERY CLEAR PREVIOUSLY
THAT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THIS
PROJECT ARE REALLY RELATED TO
LOCAL JUSTICE.
WE HAVE LOST ATTORNEYS.
THEY ALL BENEFITED FROM THE WAR
AND DRUG.
THIS IS RELATED TO THIS
INITIATIVE.
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT WE WANT TO WORK WITH
FUNDING AND THIS IS THE TYPE OF
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION THAT
DEALS WITH THIS ORDINANCE.
INCLUSION IS NOT ENOUGH.
WE WANT TO SHARE OUR EXPERTISE
AS INDIVIDUALS.
WE ALSO HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM
THIS NOTION.
WE AS A COMMUNITY, WE HAVE THE
SOLUTIONS.
WE WOULD LIKE TO VOTE ON THIS
PARTICULAR INITIATIVE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THE LAST THREE PEOPLE ARE
TRIANO HOLIDAY, CLAUDE RUFUS
AND JOSHUA JOHNSON.
THEY ARE NOT PRESENT.
THE LAST TWO PEOPLE IN THE ROOM
ARE PRESIDENT FAYE DUNCAN AND
CECILIA MORE.
>> I AM SO SORRY, I CANNOT READ
YOUR LAST NAME BUT CECILIA.
GOOD MORNING SAY.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK YOU ARE
WELCOME TO.
>> THANK YOU.
AM VERY GLAD TO BE HERE THIS
MORNING.
I WAS ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE
ARE DOING IN THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY AND A STORY CAME TO
MIND.
WE WERE WORKING WITH BUT HE WHO
CAME FORWARD TO HAD NOT GOTTEN
THE TRAINING THAT THEY NEEDED.
THEY WERE GIVEN A SHEET OF
PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO MIX
A COMPOUND TOGETHER.
THIS IS A PATCH THAT YOU PUT ON
YOUR SKIN.
HE WAS GIVEN A LIST.
HE WAS GIVEN A MASON JAR AND
THE MICROWAVE.
HE MIXED THE CONTENTS TOGETHER,
BUT THEM IN THE MICROWAVE, TOOK
THEM OUT, MIXED, SHOOK, AND THE
THIRD TIME HE PULLED IT OUT OF
THE MICROWAVE, THE MASON CHARTS
LOADED AND HE CAN'T FIRE.'S
FACE CAUGHT ON FIRE.
HIS HAIR CAUGHT ON FIRE.
HIS EARS MELTED OFF ALMOST.
HE WAS TAKEN TO HARBOR
UNIVERSITY, TO THE HOSPITAL.
AND, IN THE FACILITIES THEY
WERE SAYING THAT THERE WERE
LOTS OF BURNS THAT THEY WERE
SEEING IN THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY., ONE OF THE THINGS I
THINK IS SO IMPORTANT ABOUT
THIS WORK IS MAKING SURE THAT
THE INDUSTRY IS GETTING THE
KIND OF TREATING AND SAFETY
PROCEDURES THAT ARE NOT THERE
TO MAKE SURE THAT WORKERS ARE
SAFE.
WE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN ALSO
RECTIFYING THE HISTORY OF
RACISM THAT HAS HAPPENED IN
THIS INDUSTRY.
THANK YOU A LOT FOR THE WORK
THAT YOU ARE DOING AND THE
COUNCIL IS DOING.
EVERYBODY CAN TODAY AND TALKED.
ZION DID A WONDERFUL JOB AND I
HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO ADD.
THANK YOU.
SO MUCH.
AND, CECILIA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
SPEAK AS WELL?
>> NO THANK YOU.
OKAY, WONDERFUL.
THE LAST SPEAKER IS PRESENT AND
THAT IS TRIANO HOLIDAY.
GOOD MORNING.
PRESS STAR 6 TWO UNMUTE
YOURSELF.
>> GOOD MORNING TRIANO.
PRESS STAR 62 UNMUTE.
. BACK OKAY, THERE WE GO.
I AM SORRY GUYS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING
TO.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE EQUITY
SENTIMENTS BUT BASICALLY WHAT I
SAW I DID DRAFTED UP THE MORE
DETAIL.
I HAVE BEEN PASSING THE
SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AND I
WANTED TO COME HERE TO REALLY
REPRESENT THE ISSUE OF HOW MANY
BLACK AND BROWN INDIVIDUALS ARE
WHO ARE REALLY DOING THIS WORK
WE WANT TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE
ABILITY IN THESE IN THAT WILL
SYSTEMS.
CANNABIS IS THE INDUSTRY AND
CITY OF SEATTLE IS DOING
SOMETHING FOR.
WE NEED MORE CONCRETE
DEFINITIONS.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT WE WANT
TO CREATE AN ADVISORY COUNCIL
TO LOOK AT THE DATA?
THE DATA HAS THE LOOKED AT.
THE DATA HAS BEEN IMPORTED.
I AM READY FOR SOME SOLUTIONS
AND APPROACHES TO THIS.
THIS IS HOW CAN THE CITY OF
SEATTLE STEP UP SO THAT THE
STATE CAN ACTUALLY LEARN WHAT
THE CITY IS DOING?
THERE IS A LACK OF PRICING
MATTERS AT THE STATE LEVEL.
WE KEEP PUTTING FORWARD
DIFFERENT INITIATIVES AND
LEGISLATION AND IT IS GETTING
THROUGH.
WE ARE NOT GETTING TO VOTE
BECAUSE WE NEED TO DO
SOMETHING.
THIS INDUSTRY HAS BECOME
COMPLETELY INEQUITABLE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE THAT HAVE
BEEN THE MOST AFFECTED ARE THE
ONES THAT ARE NOT CONNECTED TO
THE SOLUTION THAT ARE HAPPENING
AND TO THE MONEY THAT IS GOING
IN IN TERMS OF THE RESOURCES
AND THE REVENUE IN THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY.
I AM ONLY LOOKING THIS MEASURE
TO REALLY DO SOMETHING IN
ADDRESSING THAT.
I THINK OVERALL IT IS TRYING TO
DO THAT BUT AFTER READING THE
DRAFT POLICY, I THOUGHT THERE
WAS TOO MANY GENERALIZATIONS.
ULTIMATELY I THINK FOR MANY
PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, THEY
ARE LIKE WHAT WHAT DO THE
NUMBERS LOOK LIKE.
HOW ARE WE --
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH TRIANO.
PLEASE SEND US THE REST OF YOUR
COMMENTS.
WE APPRECIATE YOU.
WE HAVE AARON AND JOSHUA JOHNSON
. THAT CONCLUDES EVERYBODY WHO
SIGNED UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
WE WILL GO AHEAD AND WE WOULD
LIKE TO DEAL WITH OTHER ITEMS.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE CHECK
>> AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12 12036.
THIS IS RELATED TO THE ENGINE
PROJECT.
WE ARE READY FOR DISCUSSION AT
THIS TIME.
>> OKAY, BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING
TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE IN THE
ROOM, ALL THE PRESENTERS ARE
HERE ONLINE.
THEY SHOULD BE PROTECTED ON THE
SCREEN.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THE
SPEAKERS ON THE SMALLER
TELEVISION ONCE THEY START
SPEAKING ON THE SCREEN AS WELL.
I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME TO THE
HOUSING COMMITTEE MARSHALL
FOSTER, THE DIRECTOR OF THE
WATERFRONT AND THE BIG PROJECT.
WE ALSO HAVE KYLE SEATTLE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
WE HAVE BRAD RUTHERFORD AND
RICK JOHNSON FROM THE SEATTLE
AQUARIUM.
WE ALSO HAVE CON AHEAD FROM THE
CENTRAL STAFF.
LET'S DO THIS AS WELL
>> THIS IS COUNSEL BILL 120
SEVEN.
THIS DEALS WITH AN EXPANSION
PROJECT.
>> OKAY, WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU GET EVERYBODY FOR
BEING WITH US ELECTRONICALLY
HERE.
I SEE A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS
ON.
THIS WILL BE PROJECTED ON THE
LARGER SCREEN AS WELL.
IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY TO
MAKE THE PRESENT TATIAN A
LITTLE BIT MORE, THAT WOULD BE
GREAT.
HAVE THE TILE WITH THE
PRESENTER SHOWING THE SCREEN,
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THANKS TO THE WATERFRONT TEAM
AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, THE
CITY BUDGET OFFICE AND THE
CENTRAL STAFF.
THIS LEGISLATION IS RESENTED
AND A PACKET IN FRONT OF US.
THE NEW WATERFRONT PROJECT IS
WE ALL HAVE PART OF THE
MOVEMENT.
IF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO DEAL
WITH THE AQUARIUM LIKE I HAVE A
FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS, YOU CAN SEE THE VISION
OF HOW IT WILL INTEGRATE NOT
JUST IN AQUARIUM OPPORTUNITY
BUT REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
THOSE WHO ARE VISITING IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS WILL GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO
HAVE A REAL PUBLIC ASSET ALONG
THE WATERFRONT THAT WILL BLEND
IN NICELY WITH THE WATERFRONT.
THERE WILL BE A WALKWAY,
BIKEWAY AND ROADWAYS.
I WANTED TO ADD TO A BUDGETARY
PERSPECTIVE.
THE DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE WHICH I
FREQUENTLY REFERENCE, I AND THE
DIRECTOR HAVE CONSIDERED
POSSIBLE LEGISLATION IN FRONT
OF US.
OUR FOCUS WILL BE WELL THAT IS
SUGGESTED.
THE COMMITTEE DID APPROVE THIS
FOR THE COUNCIL'S
CONSIDERATION.
IT IS TRULY UP TO THE COUNCIL
TO TAKE THIS NEXT STEP AND
DIALOGUE.
I WOULD LIKE TO TURNED OVER TO
OUR PRESENTERS IN JUST A MOMENT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THE
CHANCE THE PACKAGE OF
LEGISLATION AND BEFORE I DO
THIS COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS HAS
BEEN A LONGTIME CHAMPION OF THE
AQUARIUM.
I THINK OUR DISTRICTS GAVE YOU
SOMETHING TO ADD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH COUNCIL CHAIR
MOSQUEDA.
I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO
THIS PRESENTATION TODAY.
I APPRECIATED THE PRINT
COMMITTEE THAT HEARD TOWARD THE
END OF JULY ON PROJECT AND HOW
CRITICAL IT IS AS A LINCHPIN TO
OUR ONGOING EFFORTS ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW
WATERFRONT NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE
PARK THAT IS GOING TO BE A
CENTERPIECE OF THE.
THIS IS A REALLY GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THE
FOOTPRINT OF A AND THE AQUARIUM
THAT ATTRACTS HUNDREDS OF
HOUSANDS OF VISITORS EV
YEAR TO THE CITY OF SEATTLE.
IT IS A MASSIVE FOOTPRINT AND A
CORNERSTONE OF OUR EDUCATION
AND CULTURAL IMPACT THAT WE
HAVE AS A CITY.
AND, IT IS ALSO GOING TO BE AN
INTEGRAL PART OF THE BUILT
ENVIRONMENT.
WE ARE NOT ONLY BUILDING A NEW
VENUE FOR THE AQUARIUM IN HAND
AND EXPAND THEIR EDUCATION AND
CONSERVATION MISSION BUT ALSO,
THERE IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT
OF THE INGRESS AND EGRESS TO
THE DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD FROM
THE WATERFRONT.
THIS WILL BE MADE POSSIBLE BY
THE OVER WALK INTO DOWNTOWN.
THE PAVILION WILL BE A VITAL
COMPONENT OF THIS.
AND, I APPRECIATE WHAT WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
IT DEALS WITH HOW WE MAKE SURE
THIS WORKS AS WE CONTINUE TO
FOCUS ON DOWNTOWN RECOVERY.
THIS ALSO DEALS WITH POST-COVID
RECOVERY.
HOW MUCH THE WORK THE AQUARIUM
IS DOING, IT IS AN
INDISPENSABLE PARTNER LINKED TO
KEEPING PROJECTS ON BUDGET AND
ON TIME.
WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO DISCUSS THAT IN THIS
COMMUNITY.
WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE CHAIR
MOSQUEDA TAKING THIS OFF THE
DOCKET OF THE PUBLIC ASSET
COMMITTEE SO THAT WE CAN
DISCUSS IT HERE.
ALSO WE WANT TO KEEP THE
WORKFLOW MANAGE POOL IN NOT
VENUE.
AND, THOSE WILL DO FOR THE
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH COUNCILMEMBER
LEWIS.
I WILL GO AHEAD AND TURN IT
OVER TO FOSTER TO WALK US
THROUGH THE PRESENTATION TODAY.
>> GOOD MORNING CHAIR MOSQUEDA
AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR MAKING BASED ON
YOUR GENDER THIS MORNING FOR
THIS ITEM.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS
GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW JUST
TO SET CONTEXT FOR THE CITY'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SEATTLE
AQUARIUM SOCIETY.
THANK YOU FOR THIS INTRODUCTORY
COMMENT.
THE ESSENTIAL MESS OF THE
PROJECT TO THE LARGER
WATERFRONT VISION IS REALLY
CLEAR.
WE ARE READY TO CONTINUE OUR
SUPPORT FOR HELPING THE
AQUARIUM FIGHTER REALLY
ESSENTIAL COMPONENT TO THE
WATER.
NEXT SLIDE.
THE AGENDA, WE WILL BRIEFLY GO
THROUGH SOME HISTORY OF PROJECT
AND SEND THE DETAILS OF THE
PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
WE ALSO HAVE IN ADDITION STAFF
WE HAVE BEEN NIGHT WITH SOJ THE
PROJECT MANAGER.
THEY WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPECIFICS
OF THE PROJECT BUDGET AND CASH
FLOW.
NEXT SLIDE.
SO THE CITY AND THE AQUARIUM
PARTNERSHIP RUNS VERY DEEP.
THIS CITY PART AND RECREATION
DEPARTMENT AND THE SEATTLE
AQUARIUM SOCIETY HAVE BEEN
WORKING TOGETHER SINCE 2008-
2009 IN ORDER TO MANAGE THESE
DATA LOOK AND.
AS I BELIEVE YOU KNOW, THE
SEATTLE RIM HAS BEEN A ASSET
FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE IT IS PART
OF OUR PARKS SYSTEM AND, IN
2009 THIS CITY ENTERED INTO AN
AGREEMENT TO HAVE THE AQUARIUM
SOCIETY TAKE OVER THE DAY-TO-
DAY OPERATION OF THAT BUILDING
AND THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
REALLY AND THE PUBLIC
PROGRAMMING AND EXPAND THE
PUBLIC BENEFIT TO EXPAND THE
PROGRAMMING AND EXHIBIT TREE TO
REALLY SHOW MARINE ECOLOGY, THE
CHALLENGES WE ARE FACING WITH
OCEAN ACIDIFICATION THEIR
PROGRAMMING HERE AT THESE PANEL
AQUARIUM WORK THAT HAS TAKEN
THE FORM OF MANIC CALLED THE
OCEAN PAVILION WE HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO BREAK THIS INTO THE
WATERFRONT DESIGN.
IT IS GOING TO PROVIDE A
CRITICAL PIECE OF THE
INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE OBJECT
CONNECTING WERE OF PIKE PLACE
GET TO THE NEW WATERFRONT.
WE REALLY ARE VERY INTEGRATED
WITH THE AQUARIUM SOCIETY.
THIS DEALS WITH THE OCEAN
PAVILION, LINKS TO THE
OVERLOOKED WALK WHICH WE ARE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT AND
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS ALLUDED TO
THIS.
THE THIRD PIECE OF WHAT HAS
PROVIDED VALUE TO THE HERE IS
BRINGING THESE TWO PROJECTS
TOGETHER AND PUTTING THE
AQUARIUM AT THE HEART OF THE
WATERFRONT.
THIS HAS ALLOWED US TO REALLY
HATE SCHEDULE.
WE HAVE THIS PROJECT REALLY
HAPPENING HAND AND GLOVE WITH
EACH OTHER.
WE ARE ABLE TO DELIVER THE NEW
OCEAN PAVILION AS PART OF AN
INTEGRATED WHOLE WITH THIS
CITY'S PROJECT SLIDE.
I WILL NOT GO THROUGH ALL OF
THIS IS KIND OF GIVES YOU AT A
GLANCE, JUST A SENSE OF THE
DEPTH OF THE WORKING
RELATIONSHIP.
YOU CAN STARTING IN 2009 THE
CITY'S ESSENTIALLY AUTHORIZING
A TRANSITION TO THE A FRAME
SOCIETY AND SETTING UP AN
OPERATION'S AGREEMENT WITH THEM
FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS
OF THE AND YOU KNOW, IN 2012-,
WE ESTABLISHED THAT PARTNERSHIP
TO DO THAT EXPANSION IN THE
WATERFRONT VISION.
AND THEN, AS WE MOVE INTO 2017-
19, IT IS REALLY PUTTING IN
PLACE THE DETAILS OF HOW WE
WOULD EXECUTE THERE PAVILION
PROJECT IS PART OF A LARGER
WATERFRONT DESIGN.
ALSO IT DEALS WITH PROVIDING
SIGNIFICANT CITY SUPPORT TO
ENABLE
PROJECT COST.
THEN FROM THE AQUARIUM WILL
DESCRIBE THIS IN MORE DETAIL.
YOU WILL RECALL THAT IN THE
INITIAL FUNDING AGREEMENT, THAT
WAS THE LAST ITEM ON THE TABLE
THAT I JUST SHOWED YOU.
THAT FINALIZED A $34 MILLION
CONTRIBUTION FROM THE CITY IN
ORDER TO SUPPORT THE COMPLETION
OF THE PROJECT.
AND, THAT INVESTMENT IS
EQUIVALENT TO ANOTHER INVEST
MADE IN THE PIKE PLACE MARKET
TO COMPLETE THE MARKET FRONT
MANSION WHICH I AM GUESSING
MOST OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN.
IT HAS BEEN BILLED AND IT WAS
FINISHED IN 2017.
THIS PROVIDES AN INCREDIBLE NEW
FRONT FOR THE MARKET CONNECTING
IT TO OUR NEW WATERFRONT.
AM CRITICAL THINGS THAT THE
OCEAN PAVILION IS DOING YOU
KNOW, IN ADDITION TO THE
AQUARIUM'S PROGRAMMING AND
EXHIBIT TREE AND THEIR PUBLIC
BENEFIT, THEY ARE ALSO
PROVIDING SOME PHYSICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT SUPPORTS
PUBLIC AND THE CITY'S VISION.
I WILL TALK ABOUT THOSE IN MORE
DETAIL IN JUST A MINUTE.
WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW AND
WHILE WE ARE BACK HERE TALK TO
ABOUT LEGISLATION IS THAT THE
IS A $20 MILLION SHORT-TERM TAX
FLOW FUNDING NEED.
THEY ARE IN A POSITION WHERE
THEY HAD SEEN SOME PROJECT
COSTING, PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED
ITH CONSTRUCTION CO
OVATION, MATERIAL COST ASKED
OVATION.
WE HAVE SEEN FUNDRAISING
CONTINUING TO PERFORM WELL.
THERE PROJECT IS AT 160
MILLION.
IT IS ABOUT PERCENT-
PHILANTHROPY.
IT IS TAKING A LITTLE BIT
LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED.
DURING COVID, WE SAW THIS
THOUGHT THERE WERE PARTS OF THE
WATERFRONT PHILANTHROPY, THINGS
SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT IN
TERMS OF PRIVATE DONATION WHILE
PEOPLE FRANKLY, THEY WERE SEEN
WHERE THE ECONOMY WAS GOING TO
GO AND WHERE SEATTLE WAS GOING
TO GO.
AGAIN, THE SEATTLE QUARANTINE
CAN'T SPEAK MORE TO THIS.
THAT CAMPAIGN IS CONTINUING TO
PERFORM WELL.
WE ARE IN CAREFUL DUE DILIGENCE
WITH THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS.
THERE IS A BIT OF A LACK THAT
HAS CREATED A CASH FLOW
CHALLENGE FOR THE A FRAME'S
OBJECT.
AND THEN LASTLY, IT IS THE
DISCUSSION CAREFULLY AT WHAT
ARE THE FULL RANGE OF DIFFERENT
TOOLS THE BRAIN CAN BRING TO
THE TABLE TO ADDRESS THE SHORT-
TERM CASH FLOW NEED.
THIS IS INCLUDING DEBT.
THIS DEALS WITH COLLECTION OF
LOANS.
THEY AQUARIUM IS A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION. THIS MAKES IT
UNIQUE.
IT IS OPERATING AND MAINTAINING
CITY ASSETS.
IT DOES NOT HAVE THE
OPERABILITY TO USERS OF
COLLATERAL IN THE WAY THAT A
PRIVATE BUSINESS OR PRIVATE
PROPERTY OWNER COULD USE THEM.
AND SO FOR ALL OF THOSE RECENT,
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE
OF RAM AND WE ARE NOW HOPING
THAT THE CITY WILL PROVIDE THE
SHORT-TERM CASH FLOW SUPPORT TO
THE.
THAT WOULD BE ESSENTIALLY
REPAID BY THE ARYAN OVER A
PERIOD OF ABOUT EIGHT YEARS.
CALEB IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT
THAT LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL IN
JUST A FEW MINUTES.
SLIDE.
THERE IS JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE
ON THE PUBLIC BENEFIT THAT IS
BAKED INTO THE OCEAN PAVILION
PROJECT.
YOU CAN, THERE IS AN ELEVATION
WITH A TOP PUBLIC FACE CONNECT
TO THIS CITY'S OVERLOOKED WALK
PROJECT.
IT CONNECTS PIKE PLACE WALK
MARKET DOWN TO THE WATERFRONT.
THAT PUBLIC ROOFTOP WILL BE A
CITY PARK.
IT WILL BE OPERATED AS PART OF
THE WATERFRONT.
IT WILL BE A CRITICAL PUBLIC
BENEFIT THAT THE A FRAME IS
PROVIDING.
THERE ALSO PROVIDING THE STAIR
CONNECTIONS THAT YOU SEE ON THE
LEFT SIDE OF THIS IMAGE.
THEY ARE PROVIDING A PUBLIC
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE HIGHER
ELEVATION OF PIKE PLACE MARKET
AND ITS CONNECTION AND A LOWER
ELEVATION OF THE WATERFRONT.
AND, CRITICAL TO THE PROJECT IS
ELEVATOR AND TEAR ON THE RIGHT
SIDE OF THE DIAGRAM.
THAT ELEVATOR AND STAIR
PROVIDES A REALLY IMPORTANT
MEDIA ACCESSIBLE PATHWAY
BETWEEN THE ELEVATION OF PIKE
PLACE MARKET AND THE NEW
WATERFRONT.
NE OF OUR KEY THINGS ON THE
NEW WATERFRONT HAS BEEN TO
PRICE SEVERAL NEW ELEVATOR AND
STAIR CONNECTIONS TO TRY TO
MEDIA ASK US ACROSS THE
PROJECT.
NEXT SLIDE.
NOW I AM GOING TO HAND IT OVER
TO CALEB TO WALK THROUGH THE
DETAILS OF THE LEGISLATION.
THANK YOU MARSHALL.
I AM WITH THE CITY BUDGET
OFFICE.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY
WITH ON THIS DEAL.
THIS IS A SHORT-TERM FINANCE
THAT WE ARE WORKING ON.
IT IS ACTUALLY TWO PIECES OF
LEGISLATION ON BOARD.
FIRST IS DEALING WITH THE
PROJECT APPROPRIATION.
WHAT THIS LEGISLATION WOULD DO
IS IT WOULD INCREASE
APPROPRIATIONS IN THE PARKS,
AQUARIUM EXPANSION PROJECT BY
$20 MILLION.
IT WOULD DO THAT THROUGH AN
INTERFUND LOAN THAT WOULD TEST
THE CASH THIS YEAR.
THIS WOULD PROVIDE CASH FLOW
FOR CONSTRUCTION.
THE COMPANION BILL THAT THIS
AMEND IS THE OPERATION'S
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT THAT THE
CITY HAS WITH THE PARTS
COLLECTION.
THIS RUNS THROUGH JUNE 20 30.
IN THAT LMA AMENDMENT WE WILL
ADD AN ENHANCED FACILITY LEAD.
THIS A MONTHLY LEASE PAYMENT
THAT THE AQUARIUM WILL THEN
MAKE TO THIS CITY IN ORDER TO
REINFORCE IT FOR THAT $20
MILLION ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTION
IT WILL BOTH AMEND THE
AGREEMENT THAT THE OFFICE OF
THE WATERFRONT HAD WITH THE
CITY AND THEN THE OMK THAT THE
CITY HAD THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.
WE STRUCTURED IT SO THAT THIS
WOULD BE A MONTHLY FEE AND IT
WILL CAPTURE ALL OF THE COST
ACCORDING TO WHAT THE FINAL
ISSUANCE FOR A BOND IN 2023.
THOSE SOME OF THE MECHANICS
DEAL I ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE
LOAN REGARDING THE 2023 BOND
ISSUANCE.
THIS WILL BE HELD TO THE CITY
THROUGH A PAYMENT.
AND THEN I WILL DISCUSS RISK
ENRICHMENT ITEMS.
WE WORK WITH TO NEGOTIATE SOME
OF THESE DEALS ARE SOME OF
THESE ITEMS.
ONE OF THE KEYS THAT WE WANTED
TO EMPHASIZE FROM THE CITY SIDE
IS THAT WE WANTED TO ESTABLISH
A RESERVE SO THAT THE SITUATION
WHERE MISSED A PAYMENT, WE
WOULD HAVE A BACK DOWN.
BE A RESERVE.
THAT WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT OF
ONE YOUR OF THE PAYMENTS.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE MADE AND IT
WILL BE HELD BY THE CITY AS
WELL AS A THIRD-PARTY.
IN THE EVENT THAT THE CITY
MISSES A PAYMENT, WE DRAW THAT
FROM THE ACCOUNT.
WE HAVE ALSO ESTABLISHED A
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN WITH IN
THE RMA.
IT HAS BEEN OUTLINED REGARDING
WHAT THE ACTIONS ARE WITHIN THE
CITY.
SO, THE OTHER ITEM THAT
DISCUSSED IN THE CITIES AND
PART MUNICIPAL PARKS DISTRICT,
IT IS THAT THEY WILL CONTRIBUTE
$1.2 MILLION.
THESE WILL BE IN ORDER TO
MAINTAIN THE FACILITY.
THE SITUATION THAT THE AQUARIUM
SOCIETY THEIR PAYMENTS FOR AN
ENTIRE YEAR, WE WILL DIVERT
THOSE PAYMENT PAYMENT OF AND
ESSENTIALLY THE DEBT SERVICE.
THAT GIVES US ROUGHLY 18 MONTHS
TO CURE TO FIGURE OUT AN ACTION
PLAN.
THAT IS THE WORST POSSIBLE CASE
SCENARIO.
HAVE BEEN ASSURED BY THE
AQUARIUM SOCIETY THAT THEY DO
NOT BELIEVE THIS WILL EVER COME
TO FRUITION.
WE WANTED TO BACK UP SITUATION
IN CASE BUT IT DID.
WE HAVE SEEN MORE THINGS
HAPPEN.
THAT IS KIND OF THE STRUCTURE
OF THE DEAL.
WE HAVE ALSO ADDED AN AMENDMENT
TO THE FUNDING AGREEMENT THAT
SAYS THIS IS THE CITY'S LAST
CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROJECT.
THAT IS ANOTHER ITEM THAT WE
HAVE A. SO, THAT IS KIND OF THE
MAIN STRUCTURE OF THE DEAL.
THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION, THAT
IS WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TODAY.
IS TO AMEND THE FUNDING
AGREEMENT AND THEN DEALS WITH
AUTHORIZED LOAN WHEN INCREASING
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD, DO YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
>> IT IS OKAY WITH THE CHAIR?
>> THE CHAIR IS OUT OF THE ROOM
CURRENTLY.
COUNCILMEMBER TRAN OR, I THINK
THAT HAS BECOME THE CHAIR.
>> I AM THE CHAIR, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY
ANSWER QUESTIONS.
I APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATION OF
AID AND THE CITY'S INTEREST IN
HELPING ADDRESS AND EFFORT TO
REALLY MANAGE WHAT IS
ANTICIPATED TO BE A SHORT-TERM
LOAN.
ON THIS SLIDE, THERE ARE
REFERENCES ESTABLISHING A
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN OR
MISSED A PAYMENT.
WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT STRATEGY
OF USING ANNUAL FUND AND BY THE
MUNICIPAL PARKS DISTRICT.
THIS IS FOR THE FEE PAYMENT.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT THERE WILL
BE, THERE HAS YET TO BE
DEVELOPED A CORRECTIVE ACTION
PLAN AND UNTIL THAT IS
DEVELOPED, WE WILL BE USING THE
EXPECTATION THAT WE WOULD USE
NPD TO REPAY THE DEBT SERVICE.
THIS IS IN THE INTERIM WHILE WE
ARE DEVELOPING A CORRECTIVE
PLAN.
IS THAT ACCURATE?
SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
THAT?
SPEAK IN MORE DETAIL ABOUT HOW
THE CONCEPT OF A CORRECTIVE
ACTION PLAN IS MEMORIALIZED IN
THE LEGISLATION?
>> THE CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
WILL GO INTO EFFECT AS AN
AGRARIAN SOCIETY PAYS ANYTHING.
EMAC DOES IT EXIST, THAT IS
WHAT I AM ASKING FIRST, DOES A
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN ALREADY
EXISTS?
EMAC THE STEPS IN TEST.
WE WORK WITH THE AQUARIUM
SOCIETY TO DEVELOP A FULL AND
REGARDING REPLENISHMENT IN THE
CASE, AGAIN, IT DEALS WITH THE
TIMING.
THIS IS ACCORDING TO THEIR CASH
FLOW.
OH YES, THE AMENDMENT WAS THE
CRITERION.
>> SO, THE CORRECTIVE ACTION
PLAN IS SOMETHING MORE THAN YOU
SAYING NPD FUNDING TO PAY DEBT
PAYMENTS.
CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT WHAT THE CORRECTIVE
ACTION AND IT?
>> THE CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
IS TO WORK WITH THE CITIES IN
ORDER TO LOOK AT THEIR
FINANCIAL SITUATION.
WITH THE BUDGET AND THE
FORECAST FOR THE FUTURE.
ONE THING WE HAVE ACTUALLY
EMPHASIZED IS THAT THEY MAY
HAVE A CAPITAL BUDGET.
WE TOLD THEM THAT THE ENTIRETY
OF THE FINANCIAL TUITION OF THE
AQUARIUM SOCIETY IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE PAYMENT.
THEY ARE KIND OF ISOLATING IT
WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET.
BUT, IF THEY MISSES PAYMENT THE
OPERATING BUDGET AND THE
RESERVES THAT THEY HOLD, THEN
THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING
THE PAYMENT AS WELL.
WE WORK WITH THEM TO EVALUATE
THE FINANCES AND DETERMINE WHAT
WE CAN DO IN ORDER TO GET THOSE
PAYMENT
>> THANK YOU.
BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I AM LOOKING
TO COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA IS
BACK.
I'M NOT SEEING THAT SHE IS
BACK.
COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON.
THANK YOU.
I WANTED TO KNOW IF STAFF HAD
ANY, ABOUT THE $20 MILLION THE
BEFORE I LAUNCH INTO ANY
QUESTIONS
>> HELLO, GOOD MORNING.
I AM WITH CENTRAL STAFF.
I DO NOT HAVE A LOT TO ADD THAT
WOULD ELIMINATE MORE THAN WHAT
HAS BEEN PRESENTED BY MARSHALL
AND CALEB.
I WILL SAY THAT THE $20 MILLION
REQUEST IN THE ROSEVILLE TO ALL
PROBLEMS THAT WERE UNEXPECTED.
THE FOLKS INVOLVED, I THINK IT
IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY WANTED
TO SOLVE IT.
WE HAVE SCOPED OUT THE RISK
THAT HAVE RETICULATED HERE.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE RISK
EXISTS.
WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS
A HISTORY OF LEGISLATION,
DECISIONS BY THE MAYOR AND
COUNCIL TO INTEGRATE THESE
PROJECTS.
THERE IS A REAL POSSIBILITY
WITHOUT A DELAY FOR ANY REASON.
THE OCEAN PAVILION COULD DELAY
VARIOUS PROJECT THE CITY IS
PURSUING.
THOSE ARE REAL THINGS.
THE OTHER THING TO NOTE THAT I
THINK IT IS SORT OF A NUTS AND
BOLTS ITEM.
IT IS KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE
LEGISLATION.
THEY ARE PRESENTED TO SEPARATE
PIECES LEGISLATION.
BECAUSE THERE IS A SAYING THAT
A BILL USED TO COVER A SINGLE
SUBJECT.
SO ONE SUBJECT HAS TO DEAL WITH
LOAN AND THE PIECES THAT
INVOLVE VARIOUS ON THE NOT
PEACE.
THIS IS WHAT CALEB DESCRIBED.
ANOTHER SUBJECT DEALS WITH
AMENDING THE AGREEMENT.
THEY APPEAR AS SEPARATE BILLS.
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME GOOD
QUESTIONS RELATED TO THAT ABOUT
YOU KNOW, SHOULD THERE BE SOME
CONNECTIVITY OR INTIMACIES
BETWEEN THE TWO.
I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT
IF HAVE THIS VERY GOOD ROLE FOR
CLARITY TO MAKE THINGS
TRANSPARENT, IF WE LOOKED AT
THIS WILL BY A SINGLE SUBJECT,
THIS COULD BE PRESENTED AS A
SINGLE BILL TO YOU ALL.
THE REASON IT IS IN A SEPARATE
BILL IS I WANTED TO POINTED OUT
THAT THEY GO TOGETHER.
PASSING ONE MEANS PASSING THE
OTHER AND VICE VERSA.
AND SO, COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON,
THANK YOU FOR REFLECTING.
TO ANSWER YOUR RESTING, WE WANT
TO'S IS IN THIS TECHNICAL
DETAIL.
I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT TO
DELIBERATION REGARDING THE
APPROVAL.
TO RECAP, THEY APPEAR AS TWO
SEPARATE BILLS BUT THEY GO
TOGETHER.
THE ONLY REASON THEY APPEAR
BEFORE YOU SEPARATELY IS
BECAUSE OF THE RULES WE HAD
ABOUT EACH BILL ADDRESSING A
SINGLE SUBJECT.
>> THANK YOU.
I DO HAVE SOME FOLLOW-UP
QUESTIONS.
WE ACCEPT MARSHALL FOSTER HAVE
THE HANDOUT.
THIS IS THE CASE HE WANTS --
>> THANK YOU.
IF IT IS OKAY I WANTED TO ASK
IF WE COULD HAVE THE AQUARIUM
TEAM PROVIDES ADDITIONAL
CONTACT FOR THE PROJECT BUDGET
AND CASH FLOW SITUATION.
WOULD THAT BE HELP BEFORE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS?
>> YEAH, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
THAT WE WILL GO TO COUNT FIRST.
ALL RIGHT, I WILL TURN IT OVER
TO BEN.
HE IS THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR
THE PROJECT.
>> THANK YOU MARSHALL.
I WOULD LIKE TO VILLAGE MY
APPRECIATION TO MARSHALL AND
CALEB.
I THINK HAVE BEEN WORKING
THROUGH THIS ABOUT A YEAR.
IT WILL BE AT THIS POINT, IT IS
PRETTY WRITING TO BE ABLE TO
KEEP OVERALL CONSTRUCTION
PROJECT FOR THE WHOLE
WATERFRONT PROGRAM MOVING.
I AM A PARTNER WITH S AND J.
THIS IS A PROJECT MANAGEMENT
FIRM.
I WAS THE DIRECTOR OF THE PIKE
PLACE MARKET FOR SEVEN YEARS.
I HELPED DELIVER MAJOR PROJECTS
MY PARTNER KEN WAS THE PROJECT
EXECUTIVE FOR CLIMATE PLEDGE.
ALSO THE PROJECT MANAGER ON THE
HELP.
MANY OF YOU ARE SITTING HERE
TODAY.
I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH ON THREE
THINGS.
PROCESS AND A RESPECT FOR THE
PROJECT, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE
SOME OF THE COMPLEX ME.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET
DETAILS.
OVERSIGHT, GIVEN OUR DEFICIT
VARIANCE IN PUBLIC PROJECT, WE
BRING A REGARD TO THE OVERALL
BUDGET MANAGEMENT AND
OVERSIGHT.
THERE IS A DESIGNATED PROJECT
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE THAT IS
REPORTED TO ON A MONTHLY BASIS
WE HAVE INDUSTRY X
CONSTRUCTION, DEVELOPMENT,
FINANCE THAT SIT ON THE
COMMITTEE.
THEY REVIEW ALL OF THE ACTIVITY
FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE
PROJECT.
ALSO REPORTS UP TO THE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND TO THE
AQUARIUM BOARD.
THE OVERALL PROJECT COMPLEX HE
IS UNRIVALED.
THIS IS IN MY FARMER SIX
VARIANCE.
I THINK FOR MANY OF US, THE A
PROJECT THAT IS INTEGRATED WITH
THE MAIN CORRIDOR, WE ARE
BUILDING A BUILDING OF THE
RIGHT-OF-WAY.
THIS IS THE BUILDING THAT
HOUSES OVER 400,000 GALLON OF
WATER AND IT HAS A PUBLIC OPEN
FACE ON THE TOP WHICH IS PART
OF THE WATERFRONT RELATED
ELEMENTS.
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DELIVERING
TO THE COMMUNITY.
IT IS AN INCREDIBLE BENEFIT.
COMPOUNDING THIS, YOU KNOW, BACK
2019 WE WERE HERE FORMALLY WITH
THE FUNDING AGREEMENT.
THE WORLD I THINK HAS CHANGED
DRAMATICALLY SINCE THAT TIME.
THAT HAS CREATED COST IMPACT TO
THE PROJECT.
IT HAS ADDED COMPLEX THE.
I DO NOT THINK ANY OF US
ANTICIPATED A GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
WE DID NOT ANTICIPATE THE FIVE-
MONTH, STRIKE.
WE HAVE OVERCOME ALL OF THOSE
CHALLENGES IN THIS MOMENT IN
ORDER TO SOLVE TIMING ISSUE AS
MARSHALL SAID.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY FROM THE
PRIVATE DOLLARS.
I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A MEMO
HERE, I WILL SHARE MY SCREEN TO
GET THIS TO WORK.
HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ALL SEE THIS.
ALL RIGHT.
SO, JUST AT THE TOP HERE I HAVE
A LITTLE BACKGROUND.
WE ARE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THE
OVERALL PROJECT EFFORT AND
COLLABORATION WITH THE TRIBES.
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN ON
THE SITE TOWARD KNOW THAT THIS
HAS WORKED, PARTICULARLY WITH
EVERY TOP IN PUBLIC SPACE.
ARE BROKEN T EXPERT FROM A
LOCAL TRIBE HAS HELPED US COME
UP WITH A PLAN TO TEAM THAT
TOLD THE STORY FROM THE SHORES
ALL THE WAY UP TO THE MOUNTAIN.
THERE IS A TEAM EMBEDDED WITH
THE PROJECT TEAM FOR SEVERAL
YEARS.
WE ARE REACHING FOUR OF THE
HIGHEST LEVEL OF SUSTAINABLE
CERTIFICATION IN THE NATION.
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST AQUARIUM
THAT GET THAT CERTIFICATION.
SO WE ARE LEADING ON THAT FRONT.
LOTS MORE DETAILS.
I KNOW WE HAD A GREAT BRIEFING
WITH COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS'S
COMMITTEE A FEW WEEKS AGO.
I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE
MARKET CONDITIONS.
I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE
PRIMARY DRIVERS.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
THAT THERE HAS COST.
THERE IS BIG REASON FOR THAT.
EARLY ON IN THE PROJECT IN MAY
2019, WE LOOKED AT A COUPLE OF
ADDITIONAL INESTMENT.
ONE RAISE THE BAR FOR
SUSTAINABILITY.
IT DEALS WITH INVEST IN A
EFFICIENT BUILDING I AM LOOKING
AT MARSHALL FORESTER AND WE
ASSUMED THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
DELIVERING THE ROOFTOP PUBLIC
OPEN.
IN LATE 2019 WE HAD A MUCH
BETTER SENSE OF WHAT THAT TOTAL
COST WAS.
WE ALSO HAD A NUMBER OF LOCAL
LINE ITEMS RELATED COST.
THERE WAS OVERHEAD DANCING,
SUPPORT FOR THE PHILANTHROPIC
CAMPAIGN AS WELL AS AN OUTSIDE
ANIMAL CENTER.
THIS WAS BROUGHT INTO THE FOLD
FOR THE TOTAL PROJECT AMOUNT.
THIS WAS THE FIRST LEVEL OF
HIS.
THAT THE PANDEMIC HIT.
THAT CAUSED A NUMBER OF
CHALLENGES AND PROJECT DELIVERY
AND THE COST.
I THINK WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR
WITH NATIONAL SUPPLY-CHAIN
SHORTAGES, COST INCREASES,
ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY AND ALL OF
THOSE.
IMPACTED THE OVERALL PROJECT.
WE WERE ABLE TO NAVIGATE
THROUGH ALL OF THAT.
WE WERE ABLE TO NAVIGATE
THROUGH THE CONCRETE STRIKE
FAIRLY SUCCESSFULLY.
WE HAVE A TIMING CHALLENGE FOR
THE INITIAL FUNDS WE NEED A
LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO GET
THERE. AGAIN, GREAT SUCCESS ON
THAT FRONT TO DATE.
IN THE PANDEMIC IT IS TOUGH.
NOW THAT WE ARE BACK IN PERSON
WE ARE MEETING WITH ALL OF
THAT.
IT IS ACCELERATED AGAIN BUT WE
NEED HELP WITH THIS.
JUST A QUICK NOTE, I AM HAPPY
TO SEND THIS MEMO OUT TO THE
COMMITTEE AS BACKGROUND,
EXHAUSTIVE EFFORTS ON COST
CONTROL; WE ARE LOOKING AT
EVERY FACET OF THE OBJECT.
HOW CAN WE BEST SURE PRICING?
HOW CAN WE WORK WITH ALL OF THE
SUBCONTRACTORS TO ENSURE WE ARE
DELIVERING THE HIGHEST VALUE?
THIS IS TO THE AQUARIUM AND TO
THE PUBLIC.
WE WANT TO TEST ALL KEY
COMPONENTS OF THE PROGRAM TO
ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT IS
IN THE BUILDING, ON TOP OF THE
BUILDING IS DELIVERING TO THAT
CORE MISSION.
AT THE BOTTOM THERE IS A
SUMMARY OF THE CHANGES FROM 19-
20.
THIS IS A NUMBER THAT INCLUDES
ALL THOSE LITTLE LINE COST, IT
WAS A $140 MILLION PROJECT THAT
TIME.
CONSTRUCTION WAS AROUND 105.
THAN THE INCREASE THE WE SAW IN
2021 IS THAT WE GOT A GOOD
HANDLE THE IMPACTS WHAT WAS
PROJECTED AS ONGOING CHALLENGES
TO THE COMPLETION OF THE
PROJECT.
SETTING CONSTRUCTION BUDGET BY
10%.
YOU CAN THE THAT.
THAT INCLUDES TAX AND CONTENT.
WE ALSO SAW AN INCREASE IN THE
TAX.
SO, THIS IS NOT AN
INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT, $100
MILLION IN CONSTRUCTION EFFORT.
WE SAW AN INCREASE IN LETTER
AND LETTER E-SERVICES AS WELL
AS THE LOBAR OF THE LINE COST.
THIS DEALS WITH RESTORATION
THAT EXTENDED THE PROJECT.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
CONTINUITY AND INTEGRITY FOR
THE ENTIRE TEAM.
WE HAD A MORE SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENT.
YOU CAN THE THAT UNDER CAN
REGARDING THE SUSTAINABILITY
FRONT.
WE BROUGHT IN AN EXPERT, JASON
McLENNAN TO DO AN AUDIT OF THE
OVERALL DESIGN AND GET US TO
THE LEVEL WHERE WE CAN ACHIEVE
NATION'S LEADING CERTIFICATION.
I KNOW IN THE INTEREST OF TIME,
I WILL PAUSE THERE.
IF ANY OF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN
GOING INTO THE BUDGET DETAIL,
AND GREATER LINKS, PLEASE LET
ME KNOW.
IT TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR TO GO
THROUGH THE FULL COMPREHENSIVE
LOGIC BUDGET.
AND THIS DEALS WITH ALL OF THE
BACKUP.
>> THANK YOU.
MEMBER PETERSON, YOU ARE FIRST.
>> THANK YOU CHAIR MOSQUEDA.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
I WILL JUST GO THROUGH ALL OF
MY COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS TO
GET THEM ALL OUT NOW.
SO, I KNOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
EXCITED ABOUT THE PENSION OF
THE SEATTLE AQUARIUM.
I AM CONFIDENT THIS PROJECT IS
GOING TO GET DONE.
I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK THAT
HAS GONE INTO THE PROJECT THUS
FAR.
I LIKE TO PROVIDE A CONTEXT FOR
MY MANAGEMENT QUESTIONS.
IT DEALS WITH RECONNECTING OUR
CITY
>> WE JUST SAW PART OF THAT IN
THIS MEMO.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ON THE
SCREEN.
BACK IN DECEMBER 2019, COST WAS
113 MILLION.
I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW
IT WENT FROM 113,000,002 240
MILLION.
WHAT YOU SHOWED ON THE SCREEN
WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 140
MILLION AND 160 MILLION.
THAT IS THE AMOUNT TODAY FOR
THE TOTAL PROJECT COST.
SO, THAT IS A 41% INCREASE IN
JUST 30 MONTHS FROM THE 113
MILLION THAT WE WERE TOLD ON
DECEMBER OF 2019.
THAT LEAVES LINE OF QUESTIONING
ABOUT OTHER OPTION. I REALIZE
THE PROJECT IS INTEGRATED
PHYSICALLY WITH OTHER PARTS OF
THE WATERFRONT THAT ARE VITAL.
WHY NOT FOR HELPFUL ALL OF THE
EXTERIOR PART THAT ARE
INTEGRATED?
THE ROOF, THE STAIRWELLS OF
THESE ARE INCLUDE.
AND DELAY 20 MILLION OF THE
INTERIOR REGARDING IMPROVEMENTS
. THAT WOULD ONLY BE 12% OF THE
TOTAL PROJECT COST.
IT WOULD BE 160 MILLION.
THIS IS IF YOU JUST PHASE IN
THE INTERIOR TO THE SHARK TANK
OR WHAT EVER IT IS A COST
DRIVER FOR YOUR INTERIOR.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THE DEBT
POLICY MANAGEMENT ADVISORY
COMMITTEE GOING THROUGH THIS.
IT IS HELP TO KNOW THAT IT
COMPLIES WITH THE RULES FOR
ISSUING DEBT.
I AM WONDERING IF THERE ARE
OTHER OPTIONS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE REQUIREMENTS
PRETTY CONFIDENT IN GETTING
SOURCES OF REPAYMENT FOR THE
DEBT.
COMBINED.COM THE GOVERNMENT
PROVIDING LOAN GUARANTEES OR
SOMETHING ELSE.
BANK KING COUNTY FOR SOME FOR
THE FUNDING THE BULK OF THE
GOVERNMENT THOSE ARE MY
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FAR MAC
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT FOLKS
HAVE TO SAY BEFORE WE HAVE
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS.
IN ADDITION TO COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON'S LINE OF CONCERNED,
IF YOU COULD INTEGRATE INTO
THAT WHAT ASSURANCE YOU HAVE
BUILT INTO THIS ARE BAKED IT IN
ORDER TO MAKE SURE IF THERE IS
ANY THAN THE AQUARIUM, GIVEN
THE ABILITY TO PAY THIS OFF,
GIVEN UNCERTAINTY.
WHAT ASSURANCES DOES THE CITY
HAVE MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS AN
OFFRAMP IF YOU WILL?
>> MY SUGGESTION START BY
ADDRESSING 113-140, 160.
GET THAT OUT AND THEN WE CAN
STEP INTO SOME OF THE OTHER
QUESTIONS ABOUT NOW, OTHER
OPTION I THINK IT WOULD BE
HELPFUL TO HEAR FROM YOU WHAT
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?
WE HAVE DISCUSSED THAT.
THE WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE
CITY'S DIFFERENT FINANCIAL
ALTERNATIVES.
I SEE CHRISTIAN FROM THE CITY
FINANCE DIVISION HAS JOINED US.
>> THANK YOU.
REALLY QUICK, SO 113 WAS A
NUMBER GENERATED IN THE
SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE OF THE
PROJECT.
IT DID NOT INCLUDE ALL OF
GLOBAL LINE ITEMS THAT I
DISCUSSED.
SO THIS INCLUDES COST, STAFFING
OVERHEAD IN SUPPORT FOR THE
PHILANTHROPIC CAMP THE OFF-SITE
COMPARISON.
IN ADDITION, THIS IS A MR.
FOSTER'S NEGOTIATING SKILLS
THROUGH THE PROCESS OF
FINALIZING THAT FUNDING
AGREEMENT, THE GRAHAM ASSUMED
RESPONSIBILITY INCLUDING COST
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DELIVERING
ALL OF THAT ON THE ROOFTOP OF
THE AQUARIUM.
FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF THAT,
WE UPDATED THE OVERALL PROJECT
COST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE
FULLY CAPTURING ALL OF THE
PLANTINGS THE WALKWAYS, THE
ELEVATORS AND TEARS.
THAT WAS THAT INITIAL INCREASE
OVERALL.
WE CAPTURED TO GIVE YOU A COME
PICTURE.
ONCE AGAIN, THE CITY DOES NOT
PROVIDE ANY REIMBURSEMENT FOR
THOSE COSTS.
THIS DEALS WITH COST OF RUNNING
THE CAMPAIGN, LEGAL COSTS OR
THE COSTS OF THE CAMPAIGN
CENTER.
THERE IS ARE SOLELY BORNE BY
THE A AND.
THE SECOND COST, THIS IS
PRIMARILY PANDEMIC DRIVEN.
ALL OF YOU WERE SEEN THIS ON
MANY OF YOUR PROJECTS.
THE COST INCREASES, THE
COMPLEXITY OF PROJECT
INTEGRITY, THIS IS BEEN
IMPACTED ON SO MANY LEVELS.
IT WOULD TAKE ME AN HOUR TO
WALK THROUGH THE COMPONENTS OF
THAT.
I AM HAPPY TO DO THAT AT ANY
TIME.
THAT IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER.
>> IF I COULD JUST ADD ONE
CHECKPOINT AND PLEASE CORRECT
ME IF I GET THIS WRONG.
AT THE TIME WE BROUGHT FORWARD
THE ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT
NEEDED TO BE CREATED FROM 113-
140.
PART OF WHAT WE UNDERSTOOD AS
THE CITY'S THING THE HEALTHCARE
FACILITY, THE IMAGERY, THE
FAILURE OF THE BUILDING, THOSE
WERE ESSENTIAL FOR THE
AGREEMENT TO HAVE A FUNCTIONING
BUILDING.
WE REALLY AGREED THOSE WORSE OF
THE LINE ITEMS KNEW THEY WERE
TIRED.
WE AGREED THAT IT ONLY MADE
SENSE US HAVE THE OVERSIGHT
THAT WE HAVE.
THE LAST POINT ON I ALSO WANTED
TO BRING THIS WHEN YOU BROUGHT
THIS TO US AT THAT TIME IT WAS
WITH AN UNDERSTANDING THAT
THOSE WERE ALSO IMPROPERLY
FUNDED.
THOSE WERE COMING FROM AN
INCREASE IN SIZE OF THE
CAMPAIGN THAT THE AQUARIUM WAS
AGREED TO ADVANCE IT MAY BE
HELPFUL TO HEAR WHERE YOU ARE
WITH THE CAMPAIGN.
YOU ARE IN A GOOD POSITION AND
CONTINUING
>> ABSOLUTELY MARSHALL.
I THINK ONE NOTE, COUNCILMEMBER
PETERSON, YOU ASKED ABOUT AN
APPROACH TO FACING.
THEY FACED PROJECT.
WE ARE NOW IN PHASE 3. WE ARE
IN THE MIDDLE OF PHASE 3. HE
TINY NEED EMERGES.
PHASE 3 ACTUALLY DELIVERS THE
FULL HEIGHT THE BUILDING.
IT GETS US UP TO THE ROOFTOP
LEVEL.
THIS GETS US IN POSITION WHERE
WE COULD EASILY FINISH ALL THE
EXTERIOR COMPONENTS.
THAT IS THE CRITICAL TIME IN
EACH OF THE WORK
>> IT DOES AFFECT THE THE AS
ERIC ALLUDED TO EARLIER FROM
STAFF.
CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY
LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO
THE AQUARIUM'S CONSTRUCTION.
PART OF THE TIMING URGENCY
HERE, I APOLOGIZE.
IT IS COMING FROM THE COUNCIL.
THIS ALLOWS US TO ENSURE WE
KEEP THESE TWO PROJECTS IN HAND
IN GLOVE.
RESPONDING TO WITH THE OTHER
HAS COMPLETED THE WE CAN TAKE
THE NEXT THE CITY PROJECT.
>> THE QUESTION I HAVE IS FROM
CENTRAL STAFF.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE FIRST FUNDING
WAS FROM THE REAL ESTATE TAX
ACCOUNT.
WE TYPICALLY USE THOSE DOLLARS
FOR CAPITAL BUDGETS.
I AM JUST HOPING THAT THE CITY
STAFF CAN EXPLAIN HOW YOU ARE
ABLE TO AFFORD TO GIVE OUT $20
MILLION FROM THE FUND WE GOT
SOMEBODY INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS
WITH THE CITY RIGHT NOW WE
COULD PUT THAT OUT THE DOOR
UNTIL WE ARE REIMBURSED IN
APRIL 2023.
>> COUNCILMEMBER THANK YOU.
I WILL BEGIN AND KRISTI AND
OTHER PEOPLE CAN THIS REGARDING
THE PROPOSAL.
SOME TIME AGO, THE CITY CHANGED
HIS REQUIRE THIS PARTICULAR
FUND BE IDENTIFIED.
PREVIOUSLY, THE CITY COULD SORT
OF IDENTIFY CASH.
AND THEN, THE POLICIES
TIGHTENED UP TO SAY THAT GROUP
ONE AS HE SAID.
THE PROJECT THE BUILDING ARE
THINGS.
THIS CONNECTS TO THE FUNDS THE
CITY HAS IMPACT WAS TO LOOK AT
THE CAPABILITY OF A PARTICULAR
LINE.
I AM GOING TO STOP THERE.
MAYBE I WILL TURN TO CALEB AND
KRISTI TO ADDRESS OF OF YOU
KNOW, AROUND, BEFORE IT IS PAID
BACK BY THE EXPECTED SALES.
IF THAT IS OKAY, I THINK THAT
PROPERLY.
>> WE HAVE THAT 45 ON THE TOPIC
SO FAR AND WE HAVE TWO OTHER
COUNCILMEMBERS AND ADDITIONAL
ITEMS TO THE.
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TO
THE COUNT IS.
>> ARE LOOKING AT CASH
BALANCES, PROJECT ENDING, THIS
DEALS WITH THE FUNDS.
THE BIG FUND HAS $98 MILLION
CASH ON HAND.
WE HAVE LOOKED AT SPENDING TO
DATE IN THAT FUND.
WE LOOKED AT HISTORIC AND IN
THE FUND.
WE HAVE DETERMINED ALONG WITH
THAT TREASURY AND THE MEETINGS
TEAM, THIS FUND WITH THE THE
RIGHT FUNDS TO REGARDING THE
CASH.
WE ARE MONITORING THIS DAILY.
WE DO NOT WANT A SITUATION
WHERE IT IS DRYING DOWN THIS IS
THE SHORT ANSWER
>> WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
MOVE ON.
IF COUNCILMEMBER PETERSON'S
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS DESERVE
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, IT
WOULD BE GOOD IF YOU COULD
SHARE THEM.
THAT WILL BE APPRECIATED.
COUNCIL MEMBER LOUIS, PLEASE GO
AHEAD.
>> CHAIRMAN MOSQUEDA WITH THIS
BE THE TIME TO MAKE HER CLOSING
REMARKS ON THIS LEGISLATION?
I DO NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS . I DO NOT WANT TO
CROWDED OUT.
>> NO PROBLEM.
LET ME TURN TO COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD AND YOU CAN CLOSE US
OUT.
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD, DO YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SO, I THINK
THIS FALLS TO AN AREA NOT SO
MUCH OF ASHTON BUT EXPRESSING
ISSUES AND GIVING PUBLIC NOTICE
OF DOING.
FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD JUST LIKE
TO HIGHLIGHT FOR THE RECORD
THAT THIS LANGUAGE IS REALLY A
THIS LEGISLATION.
AND, I THINK IT IS INCUMBENT ON
THE COUNCIL TO ON THE RECORD
PUBLICLY KNOWLEDGE THE
LEGISLATION.
SUCH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
FUNDING THAT THE COUNCIL IS
CONSIDERING.
I JUST REALLY WANT TO CALL
ATTENTION TO THE LANGUAGE THAT
IS THE FUNDING SHALL BE THE
CITY'S FINAL CONTRIBUTION TO
THE OCEAN PAVILION.
ALTHOUGH THE TITLES DO NOT HAVE
THE FORCE OF LAW, SHOULD IT
REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN
THE FUTURE, IT IS UP TO THE
COUNCIL TO HOLD THIS TENSION
DATED IN THE BILL.
THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL
FUNDING.
SO, I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT
THAT.
SECONDLY, THERE IS SOME
LANGUAGE IN SECTION 12 OF THE
BILL.
COUNSEL BUILD 20397.
IT REFERS TO ALLOWED CHANGES
PROPOSE AQUARIUM AGREEMENT.
IT ALLOWS CHANGES THAT ARE IN
THE CITY'S BEST INTEREST AND I
AM QUOTING NOT.
WE KNOW THAT THIS BILL ALLOWS
THE NEGOTIATION ON THE
AMENDMENTS THAT IS LISTED ON
THE AGREEMENT.
IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY DEAL
WITH THE AQUARIUM.
I THINK WE ALL AGREE IT IS AND
EVERYBODY'S BEST INTEREST AND
WE ALL AGREED TO NEGOTIATION.
WE UNDERSTAND THE INTENTIONS.
I WOULD LIKE TO ENSURE THAT THE
ACTIVE BAN REGARDING THE
AQUARIUM, IT DOES NOT USE THE
LANGUAGE IN THE BILL.
THIS DEALS WITH THE AMENDMENT
AS DEVELOPED.
SO I MAKE THESE ARE MARKS OUT
OF CAUTION.
IT IS PROBABLY NOT NECESSARY
FOR THE FUTURE.
A LOT OF THINGS CHANGE.
THIS OVER THE LAST 2 1/2 YEARS.
I AM NOT EXPRESSED THE CONCERN
THAT THERE IS ANY INTENT THAT
IS LAID OUT THE AGREEMENT.
I AM CONSIDERING AN AMENDMENT
THAT WILL ENSURE THAT
NEGOTIATION ARE HONORED.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO FLY THAT.
CONDUCIVE LATE, I WOULD LIKE TO
THAT THE BILL HAS SUCCESS
NEGOTIATION.
I WANTED TO LET MY COLLEAGUES
KNOW THAT BEFORE WE MOVE
FORWARD.
>> THANK YOU, THAT IS VERY
HELPFUL VICE CHAIR.
ACTUALLY, IT WAS WHAT I WAS
TRYING TO GET THE FINAL
COMMENTS TO HAVE.
THE LANGUAGE, THOSE ARE THE TWO
AREAS OF CONCERN FOR MY HEALTH
AND THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR.
THIS WAS IN THE IMPACT MEETING.
WE WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR
REGARDING THE CONTINGENT IS FOR
THE CITY.
THIS WAS IF FUNDING WAS NOT
MATERIALIZING.
THIS WAS VERY ONE-TIME LAST
EFFORT TO SUPPORT THIS.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT LOGIC THAT
WE ALL HAVE, OTHERWISE, THERE
ARE MANY IMPORTANT OBJECTS. I
REALLY APPRECIATE YOU HELPING
US WITH THIS.
I AM VERY INTERESTED IN WORKING
REGARDING THE POTENTIAL
PROMISES THAT ARE THERE.
LET'S CLOSE THIS OUT.
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS, DID YOU
HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD
LIKE TO FOSTER?
>> VERY BRIEFLY,
COUNCILMEMBERS, I WANTED TO
JUST CAN TO YOU THAT THE LAST
AND FINAL FUNDING IS ALSO
INTEGRATED INTO THE BODY OF THE
AMENDMENTS.
SO, THAT IS IN ADDITION TO
THIS.
WE ARE AT TIMES.
WE HAVE REACHABLE TERMS GRAHAM.
THAT AGREEMENT, IF YOU COULD
RACE FOLKS COMFORT LEVELS I
THINK WE CAN ABSOLUTELY VERIFY
THAT THESE ARE THE TERMS.
>> X. WE WILL HAVE MORE WORK ON
THAT.
OKAY SO, PLEASE GO AHEAD AND
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
ON THIS EFFORT.
>> THANK YOU COUNCIL CHAIR.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE PANEL
FOR THEIR REMARKS TODAY ON THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.
I WILL TRY TO BE QUICK IN MY
SUMMARY HERE GIVEN THAT WE DO
HAVE A PACKED AGENDA WITH
ADDITIONAL ITEMS.
I AM PROUD TODAY TO SUPPORT
THIS CREATED LIVER THAT
CRITICAL PROJECT ON TIME AND ON
BUDGET WITHOUT THE DEDICATION
OF THE TAX.
IS A NIMBLE ANSWER TO THE
INTRACTABLE CHALLENGES THAT WE

DISPROPORTIONALITY OF IMPACT ON
THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

RACIAL ISSUES OF MEDICAL
CANNABIS TO RECREATIONAL

THIS LEGISLATION NOT UNDO
HORROR BUT IT IS A STEP TRACK
TO BE ABLE TO GO AS SOON AS THE
STATE EQUAL.
THERE ARE THREE PIECES OF
LEGISLATION THE FIRST ONE IS
FROM FR A S WHICH ADDRESS LIFE
ONE WE ARE PROPOSING TODAY AND
THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE
ARE RELEVANT THE BILL WAS
DRAFTED AND IT PROTECTS WORKERS.
IT GIVES WORKERS STABILITY
DURING A TIME OF TRANSITION.
IT ALSO DEALS WITH TRANSPARENCY
REGARDING WHO THE BOSS IS.
HAVE BUSINESSES IN THE CITY
BETTER OPERATING ALL 18 OF THE
LABOR STANDARDS.
THIS MAKE SURE THAT WORKERS ARE
ABLE TO HAVE THEIR DO.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST THERE IS SO
MUCH OF A PUTS FORWARD THE
CITY'S INTENTION TO ABDICATE
CANNABIS EQUITY WHO ARE ALREADY
DOING THIS WORK.
WE KNOW THAT THOSE FOLKS HAVE
ANSWERS IF THEY ARE THE SUBJECT
MATTER ASKED THEY DO NOT NEED

THEM.
AS IT PERTAINS TO THE ORGANIZED
COMMITTEE WHICH WE HEARD QUITE
A BIT OF COMMENT ON, IT IS
ALWAYS BEEN THE MAYOR'S
ATTENTION TO WORK
COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE
COUNCIL TO BUILD THE TEAM GOAL.
NOBODY IS INTERESTED IN PUTTING
THERE, THIS CAN MAKE SURE
SOMEBODY'S VOICES OUTSIZED.
WE WANT TO WORK WITH OUR
COUNCILMEMBERS TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE ARE BUILDING THE TABLE
THAT REPRESENT THE NEEDS FOR
THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY AND THIS

SLIDES THIS.
AS DISCUSSED THERE ARE THREE
PIECES OF CANNABIS EQUITY
LEGISLATION.
I WILL BE PRESENTING ON
>> WE WILL ADDRESS RACIAL
DISPARITIES IN THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY.
NEXT LIGHT.
THE CITY STAFF AT THE
ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT HAS
COMPLETED A RACIAL EQUITY
TOOLKIT ON CANNABIS POLICIES.
THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH
SEVERAL CITY DEPARTMENTS.
THEY DETAIL THE
DISPROPORTIONATE HARM TO BLACK
INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY BEFORE AND
AFTER THE CAUSATION.
INCLUDES THE DISPROPORTIONATE
FORCE OF THE CANNABIS
PROHIBITION, DISPROPORTIONATE
ENFORCEMENT OF PUBLIC LAWS, THE
LAWS OF LACK OF MEDICAL
MARIJUANA THIS, AND THE LACK OF
CURRENT BLACK OWNERSHIP FOR
CANNABIS INDUSTRY BUSINESSES.
RIDES, STAKEHOLDERS HAD EVER
WORKED FOR CANNABIS EQUITY.
THIS USING EQUITY IN BUSINESS
LIFE DISPERSION FOR.
CANNABIS INDUSTRY.
IT DEALS WITH PROVIDING GRANTS
FOR LOW TEMPS TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE TO BLACK CANNABIS
BUSINESSES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE
MENTORSHIP AND INVESTING
COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED BY
CANNABIS MISSION.
THIS SLIDE DETAILS WHAT COUNTS
THE 120-3912.
BILL BREAKFAST THE CITY'S
INTENTION TO CANNABIS'S 2023
STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE
AGENDAS IT INCLUDES ADVOCATING
WITH KING COUNTY FOR THE
EXPUNGEMENT OF CANNABIS
CONVICTIONS.
IT WOULD EXPRESS THE INTENT TO
PARTNER WITH ORGANIZATION IT
WOULD HELP MITIGATE THE DAMAGE
TO THE RULE OF DRUG.
IT WOULD ALSO DO WITH CANNABIS
EQUITY WORK.
IN ADDITION, IT WAS NOT THEY
CANNABIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
COMPRISED OF WORKERS, INDUSTRY
MEMBERS AND NEXT LIGHT..
THANK YOU.
I JUST ALL ITEMS CONSIDERATION
COUNSEL.
THE CANNABIS EQUITY WRAP

RASUL EQUITY TOOLKIT
RECOMMENDATION REQUIREMENTS IN
BUSINESS SUPPORT FOR FIND THE
BEST CANNABIS EQUITY ACTION.
SLIDE PLEASE.
THE SECOND ONE ISLAMIC COUNCIL
BUILD THE FUNDING OF THE
CANNABIS ASSESSMENT IS NOT
APPROPRIATE THE FIVE WAS THE
MAYOR'S OFFICE ESTIMATE COUNSEL
COULD FUNDING IS IDENTIFIED OR,
COULD TAKE NO ACTION.
THE FINAL ISSUE IS THE NEXT
SLIDE.
THE PROPOSED COUNCIL BUILD TO
WRITE THE TEMPORARY ADVISORY TO
SUPPORT THE NEEDS ASSESSED.
IS NOT INCLUDE SIGNIFICANT
GUIDANCE ON PRIORITIZATION OF
WHO SHOULD SERVE ON THE
COMMITTEE OR THE PROCESS IN
WHICH THE COMMITTEE SHOULD BE
IN, THE COUNCIL MAY WANT TO
CONSIDER AMENDING THE BILL TO
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON
THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
NEXT SLIDE.
WE WILL BE DISCUSSING
AMENDMENTS WEEK.
THERE IS ONE AMENDMENT THAT HAS
ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED AND BY
LAW WE ARE READY TO SHARE
TODAY.
THIS IS OFFERED BY
COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA WHO
WOULD ADD TO SECTION 10 TO
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE IN
PREFERRED CHARACTERISTICS FOR
THE ORGANIZATION TO CONDUCT THE
ASSESSMENT.
IT SPECIFIES THAT THE NEEDS
ASSESSMENT WORK SHOULD BE DONE
BY ORGANIZATION SUCH AS WE
TRAIN WASHINGTON AND THE
AMENDMENT CAN BE FOUND ATTACHED
TO THE MEMO ON COUNCIL BILL
120391.
THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE FOR YOU
TODAY.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AMY AND I WILL ASK QUESTIONS.
JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT I FULLY
UNDERSTAND THE ANSWERS TO THEM
AS WELL.
THIS IS REGARDING THE POLICY
ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED.
WE ALREADY SHARED AMENDMENT
THAT YOU HAVE.
I WILL WALK THROUGH WHAT I HAVE
IN A MINUTE.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE
SUGGESTED AMENDMENT, I WILL ASK
YOU TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS.
I WILL JUST DARK WITH THAT VERY
BRIEFLY.
AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE JACK,
THANK YOU AMY FOR SUMMARIZING
THAT., THIS IS A PRETTY SMALL
COMMON SENSE.
IT ENSURES THAT WE ARE REALLY
BEING WAS THE TO MAKING SURE
THAT THE TRAINING OF WORKERS IS
BEING GIVEN BY AN ENTITY WHO
HAS EXPERIENCE SPECIFICALLY THE
REASON FOR THIS AMENDMENT AND
THE REASON I WILL FOCUS ON
TRAINING I WOULD LIKE TO THANK
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF THE
TRAINING OFFICE AS WELL.
RESPONDING TESTIMONY THAT WE
RECEIVED IN THIS COMMUNITY AND
THE WORK THAT FAS HAS WAS.
THIS DEALS WITH TIME IS
COMMUNITY REGARDING THE
ANALYSIS.
WE DECIDED TO RACIAL EQUITY
ANALYSIS AND PUBLIC COMMENT TO
THE COMMITTEE THAT WORKERS
REALLY A BETTER OF SAFETY THEY
WANT TRAINING.
THIS IS SO THAT THEY ARE
TRAINING FOR TIME ON THE JOB
AND IT IS ADEQUATELY FOCUSED ON
HOW TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE
DOING THEIR JOB SAFELY.
IS THAT THE HE HAS A BROAD
UNDERSTANDING AND EVALUATING
THE KINDS OF LONG-TERM OF
WORKERS.
ACCORDING TO LOCAL HEIGHT 502
TRACKER, IN THE YEAR 2022
ALONE, THERE HAS BEEN IN OF
ARMED ROBBERY, ATTEMPTED ARMED
ROBBERY AT 87 STORIES IN
WASHINGTON.
WORKERS HAVE CONSTANTLY TOLD US
THAT THEY ARE NOT ADEQUATELY
TRAINED TO DEAL WITH THESE
KINDS HAVING ALL HAVE TO
OPERATE DUE TO A FEDERAL RULE
AND ALL CASH OPERATION THIS
MAKES THE RETAIL THEFT UNIQUE
AND ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS FOR
WORKERS.
SO, MY INTEREST IN THIS
AMENDMENT IS TO NOT NECESSARILY
HELP THEFT.
I KNOW THIS IS A MUCH BIGGER
ISSUE.
THERE IS A NUMBER OF STRATEGIES
THAT WERE INTERESTED IN TERMS
OF HOW TO SECURE BRICK AND
MORTAR, IT IS DEPRESSED TO
ENSURE THAT WORKERS IN THIS
INDUSTRY HAVE THE TRAINING AND
EDUCATION THAT THEY NEED.
SUPPORT SAFETY PROTECTIONS THE
AND IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR WORKERS BE PART OF THE
TRAINING OPPORTUNITY AND
PRIORITIZE EQUITY WITHIN DAYS
BY THE WAR ON DRUGS.
I AM VERY INTERESTED IN HAVING
US AS A CITY LOOK AT AN
ORGANIZATION PARTY HAS IT IS
IMPORTANT TO WORK WITH
MANAGEMENT AND LABOR IN THE
EXACT ASSESSMENT THAT ARE
OUTLINED IN THE LEGISLATION.
YOU HEARD IN PUBLIC COMMENT AS
WELL AS THAT WE TRAIN HAS
CONDUCTED SUCCESSFUL RETAIL
INDUSTRY NEEDS ASSESSED.
DEALS WITH REGISTERED
APPRENTICESHIPS AND LEADERSHIP
DEVELOPMENT GRANTS.
THEY ARE FIVE ADDITIONAL RETAIL
GROCERY NEEDS ASSESSED JUST TO
REMIND.
THIS IS INCLUDING AND ASSESS
HER AND EMPLOYER SAFETY AND
PARTICIPATION WITH THE
WASHINGTON THAT WILL BE
RELEVANT FOR MAKING SURE THAT
THIS LEGISLATION.
I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO
CONTRACT WITH AN ORGANIZATION
THAT HAS THE TACTICS.
I ALSO RESPECTFULLY RECOGNIZE
THAT THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
CANNOT TELL THE EXECUTIVE
BRANCH HUTUS IS.
THAT IS WHY IT SAYS SUCH AS, AS
WE USUALLY DO IS LEGISLATION.
FINAL DECISION DOES RELY ON THE
MAN'S OFFICE BACKGROUND ON THE
AMENDMENT.
WE WOULD LOVE TO OPEN IT UP TO
OUR CALLS HER QUESTIONS.
WE HAVE ABOUT FIVE MORE MINUTES
FOR THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION.
I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR AMY.
I CAN THE COUNCILMEMBER
TRANSFER'S HAND.
ONE TO QUESTION FOR ME IS ON
POLICY ISSUE IDENT OCCASION
ONE, IN TERMS OF ADDITIONAL
ACTIONS NOTED THE RACIAL EQUITY
TOOL HIT ANALYSES THAT ARE TELL
NOT INCLUDED IN THIS
LEGISLATION.
THE RACIAL EQUITY TOOLKIT
RECOMMENDED BY REDUCING AND
OFFERING DISCRETION CANNABIS IS
FREQUENT POLICY.
THE OTHER TWO, I CAN HOW THERE
COULD BE A FISCAL IMPACT
PROVIDING THERE ANY FISCAL
IMPACT?
BUFFERING OFFHAND I WOULD JUST
SAY THAT WOULD INVOLVE WORK AT
ST I: I CANNOT THINK OF OTHER
CAUSE STAFF WORK THAT IS PART
OF THE NORMAL COSTS THAT WE
INCUR AND TAKE ON.
WE TAKE ON NEW REGULATIONS I
CAN REACH OUT TO EXACT
INDIVIDUAL TO FIND OUT WHAT
THAT WEDDING CAN'T TELL THAT
COST IF YOU ARE INTERESTED..
I WILL TURN TO MY COLLEGE
QUESTION WE HAVE TWO MORE BILLS
TO GO.
THIS IS FOR DEBATE I WOULD LOVE
TO HEAR ANY QUESTION
>> YES, IN THE ASKING THAT MARK,
WAGE ATTACHMENT ONE, YOU
DESCRIBE THE ATTRIBUTE OF THE
ENTITY THAT WOULD BE SEEKING TO
TO THE CANNABIS, NONPROFIT,
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT,
ADMINISTERING RETAIL TRAINING
AND PRODUCE PROGRAMS IN THE
STATE OF WASHINGTON REGARDING A
JOB.
IT IS NOT PRIMARILY FUNDED BY
CANNABIS OR EMPLOYER
ASSOCIATION I AM WONDERING,
LIKE A VERY GOOD DESCRIPTION OF
THE ATTRIBUTES AND WHETHER OR
NOT YOU MIGHT BE ABOUT THE NAME
OF THE ORGANIZATION.
THAT IS LAUNCHES THING I WANTED
TO WRITE OUT.
AND MADAM CHAIR, YOU GAVE A
VERY ACCURATE STATEMENT THAT IT
WILL BE IN THE PURVIEW OF
EXECUTIVE TO ELECT THE ENTITY.
I AM WONDERING IF MS. THOMAS
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT
MIGHT BACK I KNOW THERE HAS
DISCUSSION AROUND DEVELOPMENT
OF THE SCOPE OF THE ASSESSED
HAVING A ROUND TABLE TO HELP
DEVELOP THE ASSESSMENT IS
LOOKING AT.
COULD YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT ALL THE LIKELY INTENTION
FOR HOW TO SELECT SOMEONE
>> I
>>> THERE WOULD BE ALL THE
OTHER BACKGROUND EXPERTISE AND
ATTRIBUTES THAT ARE DESCRIBED
IN THE PROPOSED.
>> EVEN THOUGH I LISTED IT, I
THOUGHT IT WAS VERY THOROUGH.
I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN WHETHER
OR NOT AN ACTIVE INSTITUTION
MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THIS
WORK
>> I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND
FOLKS, WE ARE APPRECIATIVE OF
THE QUESTIONS TODAY.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO NOT GET
INTO THE DEBATE ON THE
AMENDMENT.
WE HAVE TWO OTHER PIECES OF
LEGISLATION TO CONSIDER.
I WOULD LIKE TO FOLLOW UP WITH
YOU.
BEEN 100% SURE THAT THE AMENDED
TEST ALLOWS FOR A COMPETITIVE
PROCESS.
IT DOES NOT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM
OFFICE OFFICE.
WE OFTEN IN THE LEGISLATIVE
BRANCH RIGHT IN SUCH AS IS A
GOOD WAY TO GIVE INDICATION FOR
THE TYPE WE HAVE DONE THIS THE
LAST FEW TIMES THE BUDGET.
THE ORGANIZATION NOTED DID NOT
RECEIVE THE FUNDING.
IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO
FURTHER CLARIFY THE LEGISLATIVE
BRANCH, AN ORGANIZATION THAT
NEEDS CREDENTIALS THAT WERE
OUTLINED BY THE COUNCILMEMBER
AND IT IS CURRENTLY LEGISLATION
I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT.
OKAY COUNCILMEMBER NELSON.
YOU ARE STILL ON.
YOU.
>> I HAVE THE BASE LEGISLATION.
PARTICULARLY THIS DEALS WITH
THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT.
THIS LEGISLATION WAS TRADED
NEARING THE AS PART OF THE
LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD ON SOCIAL
EQUITY IN CANNABIS.
IT DEALS WITH SOCIAL EQUITY
CANNABIS TASK FORCE STRUCTURAL
STAFF MEMO REFERENCES THE
TOOLKIT CONDUCTED IN
COLLABORATION ANOTHER
ORGANIZATION.
IN THEIR SURVEY ANALYSIS
NEITHER THE LCB TASK'S
RECOMMENDATION NOR FAS ARE ET
CALLED FOR A ASSESSMENT.
THE VERY PURPOSE AND WORK
PRODUCT OF THOSE EFFORTS WAS TO
SERVE AS SOCIAL EQUITY ISSUES
THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED TO
EQUITY IN CANNABIS INDUSTRY AND
THE THE NEXT TWO COUNSEL BILLS
ACTUALLY DO THAT.
SO MY QUESTION THE RATIONALE
FOR THE PROCESS.
A COMMENTATORS THEY ARE AUSTIN
AND THEY WANT TO MEASURE THAT
REALLY DOES SOMETHING.
HOW DID THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
GET INTO 120391 THAT WE ARE
NOW?
I'M WONDERING IF THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE FOR CHAIR MOSQUEDA HAVE
CAN ALLIE GARRETT OR ANY OTHER
BOARD MEMBERS OR ANYBODY ON
SOCIAL EQUITY AND CANNABIS TAG
FORCE VIA.
IT IS ABOUT THIS COMPONENT THE
LEGISLATION WE ARE AIMING FOR
ALIGNMENTS, I WILL TAKE THE
ANSWER OFF-LINE.
I HAVE HISTORY THAT MIGHT BE
RELEVANT.
IT 2020 THERE WERE TWO
CANNABIS.
IT WAS DICTATING IT NEEDS
ASSESSMENT.
THE WASHINGTON BILLBACK PLAZA
LINES IN THE STATE COMMISSION
ON AFRICAN-AMERICAN OR 700,000
BLACK WASHINGTON PROS BOTH
BILLS DIED.
LATE LAST YEAR, U.S. CW PUT
FORWARD IT PROPOSAL FOR
CANNABIS TAG THAT WOULD
GENERATE 5 TO 6 DOLLARS A YEAR.
I HAVE ASKED HIM TO MUCH EVERY
COMMITTEE DISCUSSED CANNABIS IS
THIS IS THE END GOAL.
I HAVE PUBLICLY STATED THAT
WOULD HARM THE AUTO'S THEY ARE
ALREADY TAXED AT A HIGHER RATE
THAN ANY OTHER STATE AT 37% OF
AND NICE TASK.
THAT WOULD BE EVEN BLACK
CANNABIS IS GENERALLY LESS
CAPITAL TO START BUSINESSES.
NO, THIS WOULD BE ANTI-EQUITY.
ANYWAY, I PRESUME THAT THE TAX
PART FOR TRAINING.
TO BE ADVANCED FOR EMPLOYEES IN
THE INDUSTRY OR MAYBE WORKER
SAFETY.
IT IS NOT THERE BECAUSE OF ALL
KEEPS MAIL THAT AMBROSE AND ON
JUNE 17, CALLED FOR URGENT
ACTION WORKER SAFETY.
WHEN I GOT BACK TO HIM I COPIED
ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I ASKED IF HE THE WORKER SAFETY
TRAINING HE NEVER GOT BACK TO.
I ALSO --
>> COUNCILMEMBER QUESTION
PERCENT WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE
QUESTION EARLIER ABOUT LIFE IN
US WAS APPROPRIATE.
THERE IS NO TAX LEGISLATION
THIS LEGISLATION DOES NOT HAVE
ANY TEXT INSTEAD OF
REGURGITATING HAVE'S OFFICE
THIS IS MEANT MENTIONED IN
COMMENT AND IN THE OF WHAT IT
SAYS U.S. IDENTIFY CONTRACT --
LET'S THAT FELT WITH A QUESTION
DRAFT BILL?
>> THIS HOPE OF THE TYPES OF
TRAINING THAT WE HAVE OUTLINED
IN THE BILL THAT ARE YET TO BE
COSTED OUT WE WERE
CONTEMPLATING WORKING WITH AN
EDUCATIONAL IS NOT AN FEEDBACK
TYPES OF COSTS WOULD BE
ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT TYPES OF
TRAINING IT IS TAKING A BIT
LONGER THAN WE HAVE HAD IN TIME
AND ARE ABOUT TO GET THAT
WITHOUT.
THEN THE IDEA OF GETTING INPUT
FROM BOTH FROM THE TASK FORCE
ABOUT WHAT THE NEEDS ARE ARE
APPLICABLE.
ATTRACTIVE WAY TO TRY TO
RESOLVE THE SCOPE RUSSIAN..
THE LAST PART FROM THAT
>> I WILL ASK THAT WE ENGAGE IN
ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION.
WE TALK ABOUT THOSE AMENDMENTS
POLICY PIECE DISCUSSION TO HAVE
ABOUT THE CONCEPT THAT I HAVE
OUTLINED IN NUMBER ONE.
I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION THAT
HAVE BEEN RAISED ABOUT THE
INITIAL WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US
HERE.
WAS BILL.
>> I DROPPED MY SCRIPT HERE.
PLEASE GO AHEAD STAFF FOR ITEM
NUMBER FOUR.
>> I AM LISA K AMMANN CENTRAL
DATA.
I WILL BE THE SECOND OF THE
THREE BILLS IN THE AGENDA.
YOU CAN ON MY SCREEN I AM HOPING
>> COUNSEL 120392 HE ADDRESSED
>> THIS BILL WOULD CREATE A
SOCIAL EQUITY LIFE AND
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE
LIFE THE DRAFT RULES STATE LIKE
CANNABIS TOWARD.
AS WITH THE CANNABIS PLACE
CANNABIS SEATTLE OR THOSE
LOCATED OUTSIDE THE THAT HAVE
BEEN DOING BUSINESS IN REQUIRE
A LICENSE AS A PREREQUISITE
UNDER THIS PROPOSAL THE SOCIAL
EQUITY LIFE FIRE AND THE THE
PROPOSED BILL WOULD ALSO ALLOW
REAL ACTION ON ESTABLISHMENTS
THAT HAVE LIFE IS.
IT WOULD OF ACTIVITY YOU COULD
DO TO GET A LIFE.
IF DATE WANT CANNABIS DELIVERY
AND SPECIAL EVENT CONSUMPTION
TO BE CONSIDERED.
FINALLY, THE BILL WOULD CHANGE
CRIMINOLOGY IN THE MUNICIPAL
CODE CANNABIS MARIJUANA.
IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TERM
MARIJUANA HAS THE REPLACE WITH
THE TERM CANNABIS THAT IS MORE
SCIENTIFIC.
THIS SLIDE SHOWS WITH THE
PROPOSED BILL WOULD KEEP AS THE
CURRENT ANNUAL ACCOUNT THIS.
THAT WILL BE $3500 FOR
BUSINESSES IN THE CITY.
$2000 FOR THOSE LOCATED OUTSIDE
OF THE CITY TO DO BUSINESS IN
THE CITY.
A MAP OF THE LATEST CANNABIS
BUSINESSES AND A LIST OF THOSE
OUTSIDE THE CITY OUR
ATTACHMENTS LOGIC IN TWO.
THE PROPOSED ELIGIBILITY
CRITERIA SHALL EQUITY APPLICANT
IS ALIGNED WITH THE LIQUOR AND
COUNTY DRAFT RULES.
THAT BOARD HAS BEEN WORKING ON
THE DRAFT RULES FOR MOST OF THE
YEAR AND HAVE DRAFT.
THE ADOPTION OF THE FINAL RULES
TAKING AS YOU SEE ON THIS WHY
THIS BILL DEAL WITH ADVERSITY
IT CONTAINS MUCH OF THE
FOLLOWING CRITERIA.
FIRST SET OF CRITERIA IS FIVE
MUST HAVE OWNERSHIP BY
INDIVIDUALS WHO RESIDE IN THE
IMPACTED AREA.
THAT AREA IS DEFINED IN THE
BILL AS COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC
AREA THAT SATISFIES ALL OF THE
FOLLOWING FIVE IT DEALS WITH
HIGH POVERTY RATE, HIGH RATE OF
PARTICIPATION BASED FEDERAL
ESTATE BRANDS, HIGH RATES OF
UNEMPLOYMENT AND A HIGH RATE OF
CANNABIS RELATED ARREST
CONVICTION AND INCARCERATION
THE SECOND SET OF ELIGIBILITY
CRITERIA WITH ACCEPTANCE AND
APPLICANTS MENTEES INHABITANTS
51% OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL BY OR
IS A FAMILY BILL ALSO PROVIDES
FOR POTENTIAL FOR THAT OF
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA.
THIS IS DEFINED BY THE DIRECTOR
OF THESE FACILITIES AND
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AFTER
THE BOARD ADOPTS THE AMENDMENT.
I HAVE TWO POLICY ISSUES
IDENTIFY THE PACKET.
SHALL EQUITY LIFE PROGRAM WHICH
MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
FINAL RULES THAT WOULD BE
ADOPTED BY THE LOCAL COUNTIES.
SEPTEMBER 28 IS THE EARLIER
ABOUT.
THERE IS AN OPTION BY WHICH YOU
CAN MAKE CHANGES TO THE
CRITERIA AFTER THE CRITERIA IS
BEEN ADOPTED.
ALTERNATIVE TO THIS APPROACH
COULD BE HUSBAND THE CITY'S
ACTION UNTIL THE BOARD
FINALIZES ITS RULES OR, THEY
COULD ADD A REQUIREMENT TO THIS
WILL AND THE COUNCIL WOULD BE
ABLE TO APPROVE ANY CHANGES TO
THE CRITERIA.
>> I AM GETTING AHEAD OF
MYSELF.
THE SECOND POLICY ISSUE DEALS
WITH ADDING A LIFE AND HOW BACK
IMPACT COST.
THIS DEPENDS ON HOW COST IS
CALCULATED.
IT DEALS WITH HOW MANY LIFE IS
ARE AVAILABLE TO THE CITY AND
THE RESOURCES REQUIRED TO
PROCESS APPLICATIONS.
UNDER CURRENT LAW, SEATTLE
SOCIALIZED.
SEATTLE COULD RECEIVE A LARGER
SHARE OF THE 2023 LEGISLATION
THIS BILL WAS INTRODUCED LAST
YEAR AND IT WOULD CHANGE THE
DISTRICT.
POLICY OPTION AVAILABLE TO THE
COMMITTEE WOULD BE FOR I
COUNSEL REGARDING THE PROGRAM'S
COST.
I HAVE RECEIVED TWO POLICY
AMENDMENT FOR THE BILL TODAY.
THE FIRST RESPONSE BY
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD.
IT WOULD REDUCE FEES $3500
$2000.
ALL BUSINESSES PRODUCING I WAS
NOT SURE MADAM CHAIR YOU WANTED
TO HAVE I SHOULD GO TO GO AHEAD
AND DO THAT.
I SPOKE TO THE AMENDMENT RIGHT
AFTER YOU FINISHED THE LAST
PRESENTATION.
NO, LET'S DO THAT.
AND THEN TO COUNSEL NOW AFTER
THE CENTRAL STAFF GO BACK TO
QUESTION.
OKAY, COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD.
PLEASE GO AHEAD.
YOU ARE ON
>> I WANTED TO TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO FLEX THAT I'M
WORKING WITH COUNSEL CENTRAL
STAFF ON AN AMENDMENT THAT IS
IMPLEMENTING A CONCEPT THAT FAS
HAS HAD A NUMBER OF YEARS.
THIS WAS PROMPTED BY COUNSEL
REQUEST SEVERAL YEARS AGO IN
ORDER TO DO SOME ANALYSIS.
AND, BASICALLY THIS AMENDMENT
WITH THIS DEVILISH CANNABIS OF
$2000 BUT ONLY FOR CANNABIS
REDUCTION BUSINESSES THAT ARE
CLASSIFIED BY THE AT TIER ONE
BUSINESSES TIER 1 TO BUSINESSES
CANNABIS TREND ARE IN THE CASE
OF, THEY ARE 4000 LAST.
THIS WOULD BE A REDUCTION OF
1500.
BUT AGAIN, IT WOULD ONLY APPLY
TO TIER ONE BUSINESSES AND
TRENDS ORDER AND FAS HAVE
LEARNED THAT WHEN THEY MEET
PROPOSAL, PREVIOUS MOVE FORWARD
AND NOW, THERE ARE ONLY TWO
LIFE THAT TO MEET THE CRITERIA.
AS BACKGROUND, I HAVE BEEN
TOUCHED WITH RELEVANT
INDIVIDUAL OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS TO $3500 REALLY
WE ARE TAKING THE EQUITY THE
FEET TO STRIVE TOWARDS
REGULATORY COST RECOVERY THAT
NOT ALL BUSINESSES ARE.
ONE THING THAT FAS LOOKED AT
DOING THIS WAS THEY LOOKED AT
THE POSSIBILITY FOR REDUCING
BUSINESS LICENSING COSTS SUCH
THAT ELEMENTS OF THE WORK THAT
MIGHT BE OVERLAPPING CANNABIS.
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO SEE WHAT
THE PROPOSALS.
IT IS REMOVAL OF THE $250 FEE
FOR THE ACTION $150 LIFE
REQUIREMENT FEE.
THE AMENDMENT AS PROPOSED, THIS
IS BASED ON A PROPOSAL THAT FAS
HAD 2020.
THERE WAS AN ANALYSIS FOLLOWING
THE COUNCIL IN 2018 GET DEALT
WITH THIS STATEMENT OF
LEGISLATIVE INTENT THAT ICE
CONCERT SOLID AMENDMENT.
IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.
THESE TIER ONE PRODUCERS HAVE
LOWER MARGIN THAN ANY OTHER
CLASSIFICATION.
SAME STATE REGULAR REQUIREMENTS
SHOULD BE THE SAME AS OTHER
PARTICIPANTS.
THE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL BY
ACTIVE.
FAS NOTED THAT THE AMOUNT OF
TIME TO AFFECT MARIJUANA
TRENDS LAST THAN NECESSARY FOR
ANY OTHER TYPE OF LIFE
MARIJUANA ENTRANCE
AGAIN, DEALS WITH A REGULATORY
LOAD
>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER
TRENT.
BEFORE WE GET TO THE SECOND
AMENDMENT THAT ALREADY SHARED BY
THE COUNCIL, I WOULD LIKE TO
LIST OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
NOT ONLY IS THERE NO NEW TAX
ELATION THAT WE HAVE, THERE IS
NO NEW TAX HERE.
IT AS A LITTLE BIT MORE ALREADY
IN THE LEGISLATION BARRIERS.
THEY HAVE ZERO MY SON THIS AND
THEY ELIMINATED THE $250 FEE
FOR ACTION AND LIFE IN FAS.
THESE FEES ARE NOT NEEDED TO
HAVE BEEN CAUSED REGULATORY
PROGRAM ENFORCEMENT TOUCH IN
THE INTEREST OF MAKING SURE
THAT WE ARE PROMOTING EQUITY BY
REDUCING THE FEES AND I AM
EAGER TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE
AMENDMENT TO OUR WORK AND.
WE WILL SAY DISCUSSION AND
DEBATE ON THAT FOR THE NEXT
MEETING.
CENTRAL STAFF, WALK THIS
AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO.
>> THIS AMENDMENT IS SPONSORED
BY COUNCILMEMBER NELSON WOULD
PRIORITIZE SOCIAL EQUITY LIFE
OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA
DISPENSARIES.
OR IT WOULD PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
BASICALLY THE ORIGINAL
LEGISLATION REGARDING
INITIATIVE 502
>> OKAY, COUNCILMEMBER NELSON,.
I DID NOT HAVE MUCH TO ADD.
I WAS NOT PREPARED TO HAVE I
THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE
CONSIDERING AMENDMENT FOR THE
NEXT EATING.
>> WALK US THROUGH THE EVENT TO
PUSH.
CHAIRMAN MOSQUEDA, I WAS
ADDRESSING THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
WHEN IT BROUGHT FORTH.
THIS AMENDMENT IS PRIORITIZES
AS HE SAID PEOPLE HAD MEDICAL
CANNABIS DISPENSARIES PRIOR
THEN BEING SHUT DOWN TO MEET
THE SOCIAL EQUITY CRITERIA SET
FORTH IN THE LEGISLATION
BROUGHT FORWARD BY PETER AND
MIKE.
AT TODAY'S.
WE MET WITH THEM SEPARATELY AS
WELL.
THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO ADD RIGHT
NOW.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ON THE LINE IN FRONT OF US, I
WOULD APPRECIATE THAT IS WE
NEED TO HARMONIZE THE TIME 12
40 IN PERPETUITY.
CAP ON THE DEAL WITH WHAT THE
STATE HAS CONSIDERED A 26.
THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING
INTERESTING TO DISCUSS
COUNCILMEMBER TRENT REALLY,
THERE IS NO HIDDEN THE
AMENDMENT.
IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS IS
MAKING ME THINK THAT I I DON'T
>> I COULD APPLICANT THE STATE
LIKE
-- THIS DATE WOULD'VE HAD TO
GIVE THEM LIFE.
THESE BUSINESSES LOST THEIR
LIVES BEFORE THIS ACTION HAVE
BEEN.
STATE WOULD HAVE TO ONE REISSUE
THEIR LIFE AND TWO, IDENTIFY
THEM AS A SOCIAL EQUITY LICENSE
ELIGIBLE.
>> THAT IS TRUE.
>> THERE ARE ONLY TWO.
WHAT DOES CREATING A PRIORITY
MEAN?
>> IT MEANS THAT IF THE CITY,
IF THERE WERE TWO APPLICANTS,
OR IF THERE WERE MULTIPLE
APPLICATIONS FOR THE TWO NEW
LIFE IS THAT THE CITY WOULD
HAVE IT.
IF SOME OF THE APPLICANTS FOR
THIS LIFE SAYS COULD
DEMONSTRATE HARM FOR MEDICAL
MARIJUANA LIFE IS GOING OUT,
BUSINESSES BASED ON WHATEVER
RULES THAT HAVE THE DEVELOPS,
THE CITY WOULD PRIORITIZE
GRANTING A CITY LICENSE BECAUSE
YOU COULD HAVE MULTIPLE
APPLICANTS FOR CITY LICENSE.
>> I GUESS I JUST ASSUMED THAT
THE CITY IS GOING TO BE ISSUED
EQUITY DESIGNATION TO --
ASSUMING THAT HAPPENED THE CITY
THEY COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE IN
KING COUNTY.
ARE ISSUED FOR BUSINESSES WITH
SEATTLE CITY IS GOING TO BE
DESIGNATED THOSE TWO.
THIS WOULD BE A SOCIAL EQUITY
BUSINESSES.
>> WE WILL GET BACK TO ON
>> HOW WITH THIS OPERATIONAL AS
TO NOT DEBATE OF THE AMENDMENT?
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE
TEAM'S OFFICE.
THOUGHTS ABOUT THE APPLICATION
PERIOD FOR CALM?
YOU ARE WELCOME TO TRIED AS
WELL.
THIS DEALS WITH
OPERATIONALIZATION THANK YOU
COUNCILMEMBER.-FOUR OF THE
UNDERLYING ISSUES WILL BE THAT
THE STATE WILL TAKE UP THE
ISSUE OF AFFORDABILITY IN THE
NEXT LEGISLATING SECTION.
THIS COULD BE UP TO EIGHT.
WE FEEL FIRM ON TWO ABOUT
AFFORDABILITY.
AFFORDABILITY COMES INTO PLAY
AT UP TO EIGHT.
CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, IT IS
MY UNDERSTANDING CITY'S
INTENTION ANY LICE BY THE STATE
SHALL EQUITY THE PROCESS.
THE LEGISLATION DOES NOT CAP ON
THE NUMBER OF SOCIAL EQUITY
LIFE PROVIDE.
>> WE HAVE NOT PUT LEGISLATION
ON OURSELVES ON OUR ABILITY TO
ENTER LIFE IS.
IT IS IMPORTANT THE MESSAGE WE
ARE GETTING TO COMMUNITY IS
THAT WE ARE UP OLD THE BEHAVIOR
OF THIS STATE BEFORE THE CITY
IS ABLE TO ACT.
I DID NOT WANT TO ACCIDENTALLY
GET A NARRATIVE OUT THERE THAT
THE CITY IS ABLE TO ACT AS
INDIVIDUAL ACTOR IN THIS DATE.
DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
>> GO AHEAD COUNCILMEMBER
NELSON.
>> LIKE I SAID, THIS IS NOT
FULLY COOKED.
I DID NOT KNOW WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT IT LIFE NOT NECESSARILY
HAVE TO I JUST
>> OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT.
>> I THINK IT MIGHT, THE CITY
WOULD TO BE CLEAR.
I THINK LEGISLATION IS YOUR.
THE SOCIAL EQUITY LIFE TO THE
SOCIAL EQUITY LIFE THE CASE OF
THE SALE BETWEEN THE ENTITY.
>> I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.
I KNOW WE HAD THE CALENDAR
UNTIL 1230.
I AM SITTING NOT THAT YOU ARE
OKAY.
ARE GOING TO KEEP GOING.
BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I HAVE FOUR
QUESTION SUB.
ON PAGE 4 OF YOUR MEMO,
SUMMARIZED WHAT HE DOES THE
IMPACTED AREA CRITERIA WOULD BE
THERE AS I WAS, I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK THE WORK OF THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE AND THE COMMUNITY
MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT HOW DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACTED AREA MUST BE PART OF
LEGISLATION WAS FOR US TO FOCUS
ON THE HARMS CAUSED BY THE WAR
ON DRUGS MANY PEOPLE HAVE THEIR
BUSINESSES NOT BE SUPPORTED.
THEY WERE IMPACTED
DISPROPORTIONATELY IN THE
CENTRAL DISTRICT I APPRECIATE
THAT THIS IS IN HERE.
I HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE
CRITERIA.
IT IS I AM NUMBER 124.
ITEM NUMBER THREE IS THAT ONE
OF THE CRITERIA FOR IMPACTED
AREA HAS A HIGH RATE OF ONE OF
GIVEN THE NATIONAL TRENDS THAT
WE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE NOT
NECESSARILY BEING THUS HAVING
HAD MULTIPLE JOBS.
I JUST WONDERED HOW THAT TREND
IS RELATED?
IF THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR
HIGH AND THE RIGHT WONDERING IF
THERE IS AN ORDER THERE
>> THANK YOU.
ANYONE ON THE CALL THAT IS
>> IT IS INCLUSIVE OF ALL
KIDDING
>> I WANTED TO MAKE SURE DID
NOT HAVE TO BE ALL FOR, RIGHT
IF IT HAS TO BE ALL OR THAT WE
APPRECIATE THE COLLABORATION
HAVE HAD THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.
I AM NOT THINK I WOULD LIKE TO
DO THAT ABOUT HOW THE TREND
FACTOR IN.
I AM SORRY I DID NOT THINK
ABOUT IT FOR.
THANK YOU FOR THINKING THROUGH
THAT WITH ME OVER THE NEXT TWO
DAYS COLLEGE
>> I WOULD DID LIQUOR CONTROL
CRITERIA.
WE MAY NOT HAVE BILLETED TO
DIVERT
>> THAT IS VERY HELPFUL WE WANT
TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN IN
HARMONY.
ERIN, TO HAVE REAL VALUE IN
MAKING SOMETHING OF THIS
PROCESSES THE PART OF THIS
CONVERSATION AND THE SEATTLE
OFFICE ASSISTANT INTENT.
WE LOOK IT HARMONIZING MEMBER
HERBOLD ? BEFORE WE MOVE ON?
I FORGOT TO MENTION WE MIGHT
HAVE ALREADY COVERED IT BUT I I
REQUESTED THE INCLUSION OF THE
CONCEPT FOR ANOTHER AMENDMENT
TO LIFE IN ORDER TO GET THE
MEMO.
I DON'T THINK IT WAS REFLECTED
IN THE.
IT MAY HAVE BEEN VERBALLY
MENTIONED THERE IS A SECTION
REGARDING WORK ON EXPUNGEMENT
OF CANNABIS CONVICTION THERE IS
THE VACATING OF JUDGMENT WHICH
IS ALREADY HAPPENED EXPUNGEMENT
OF RECORD PRODUCT THAT I THINK
IS REALLY REALLY THE LANGUAGE
REFERS WORK ON THIS EFFORT AND,
I'M JUST SUGGESTING THAT WE
REPLICATE FIVE.
IT LIFTS UP THAT WE ALSO WANT
TO COMMUNITIES IMPACTED BY THE
FEDERAL WAR ON DRUGS
>> THERE ARE OTHER AMENDMENTS
YOU ARE CONSIDERING, CENTRAL
VALLEY TO KNOW BEFORE THE END
OF THE DAY TOMORROW.
LET'S MOVE ONTO THE LAST ONE.
JAZZ HE STARTED TO TALK ABOUT
WORKERS AND WHAT IS THE GLOBAL
ECONOMY THE LAST PIECE OF WHAT
AGAIN, MY NAME IS JASMINE I AM
TALKING ABOUT COUNSEL BILL
120393.
IT IS ALSO LAWYER NOTICED THIS
WOULD ALLOW BUSINESSES TO TAKE
CERTAIN ACTIONS THE AND REDUCE
JOB INSECURITY CAUSED BY
CHANGES IN SHIP.
COVERED EMPLOYERS ARE THOSE WHO
OPERATE AND OR CONTROL A
CANNABIS CANNABIS BUSINESS IS
DEFINED AS CHAPTER 6500.
COVERAGE ALSO RATED ENTERPRISES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIFE MY
UNDERSTANDING AS WE MENTIONED
EARLIER IN THE MEETING THAT
CANNABIS BUSINESSES DO NOT HAVE
ASKED US TO FEDERALLY INSURED
BANKING, THEY MUCH ESTABLISHED
SEPARATE BUSINESS AND IS USED
TO PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES.
THESE ENTITIES WOULD BE
CONSIDERED AN ENTERPRISE WITH
THE LIGHTS.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE TO CAPTURE
THAT COVERAGE AS WELL.
AND COVERED EMPLOYEES ARE THOSE
WHO WORK FOR A COVERED EMPLOYER
FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO
CHANGING THE OWNERSHIP OF THE
BUSINESS SLIDE.
COVERED EMPLOYERS WOULD BE
OBLIGATED TO A PREFERENTIAL
HIRING THERE AND THERE WOULD BE
A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP OF THE
JOBSITE.
INCOMING EMPLOYERS MUST HIRE
FROM THE PREFERENTIAL HIRING
LIST FOR HUNDRED AND 80 DAYS.
THEY MUST RETAIN EMPLOYEES 90
DAYS UNLESS THERE IS ANOTHER
CAUSE.
THEY ALSO HAVE TO KNOW THIS FOR
HUNDRED AND 80 DAYS AFTER THE
CHANGE OF.
ALL THE OBLIGATIONS I MENTIONED
ARE JOB RETENTION WILL HIS JOB
RETENTION ORDINANCE.
COUNCILMEMBER SHOULD BE
FAMILIAR WITH IT.
THIS CAN BE HELPFUL FOR
IMPLEMENTATION AND IT HELPS
THAT NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
THE JOB RETENTION FELL, THE
BILL DOES DIFFERENTIATE FROM
HOTEL ANYWAY.
SIGNIFICANT REQUIREMENT TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE DIFFERENT WAY
THE INDUSTRY IS ORGANIZED.
THE BILL WILL REQUIRE A WRITTEN
NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES AND THE
NEED FOR ANY ENTERPRISES TO
INTERVENE.
THIS IS INTENDED TO OPERATE
CURRENT NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT
INFORMATION.
ALREADY PROVIDE THIS.
SO BASICALLY, THIS ADDITIONAL
LINE FOR CANNABIS EMPLOYERS TO
FILL IN ON A FORM THERE SEEMS
TO BE A JUSTIFICATION THE OF
THE.
BUT, IT IS A NOTABLE DIFFERENCE
FROM THE HOTEL JOB RETENTION
ORDINANCE THAT THIS BILL IS
MODELED AFTER IT SO CLOSELY.
OTHERWISE THERE IS THE
INTEGRATES WITH.
THAT IS IT FOR THE SUMMER.
>> IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE NOT
ANY AMENDMENT LEFT.
I COULD AND THE DATE AND HAVE
PEOPLE RESUME DISCUSSION
TOMORROW AT NOON.
ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS ANY AMENDMENT FOLKS
WOULD LIKE TO FLAG FOR THE GOOD
OF THE ORDER THAT YOU MIGHT BE
CENTERING ON THE THIRD PIECE OF
LEGISLATION?
>> OKAY JASMINE, YOU DID A
GREAT JOB.
THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS FROM
THIS LAST ONE.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS
OF LEGISLATION.
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, I
APOLOGIZE FOR CUTTING YOU OFF
EARLIER.
THERE WAS NO INTEREST IN PRIOR
TO DEBATE.
YOU ARE WELCOME TO ADMIT ISSUES

LEGISLATION IN FRONT.
IT IS NOT ONLY FOCUSED ON THE
CITY OF SEATTLE TO PARTNER WITH
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS.

WE WANT TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOST
TIME WE HAVE HAD IN THE LAST 10
REGULATIONS EVERYBODY THESE
THREE PIECES OF LEGISLATION
TOGETHER.
THIS STEP.
I THINK THAT THEY ARE'S OFFICE
