>> GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU
FOR BEING HERE FOR THE CONSUL
BRIEFING.

WE ARE HERE FOR THE REGULAR
LEASE -- REGULAR SCHEDULED
BRIEFING AND WE HAVE COUNCIL
MEMBERS, IF YOU ARE EXCUSED
TODAY, COUNCIL MEMBERS
GONZALEZ, JUAREZ AND SAWANT ARE
DISMISSED AND IT SHOULD BE
RELATIVELY QUICK.
AS A FOOTNOTE, WE HAVE TWO
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MEETING RIGHT
AFTER THIS BECAUSE OF
SCHEDULING CONFLICTS IT WAS
NECESSARY TO SCHEDULE THE CIVIC
MEETING AT 10:00 AND IT
SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO SLUNG WHAT
WE WANT TO DISCUSS A PIECE OF
LEGISLATION UP FOR VOTE AT 2:00
THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN WE HAVE
A SELECT COMMITTEE ON MHA AT
10:30 IN THIS BRIEFING COULD BE
RELATIVELY BRIEF AND I THINK
THAT IS WHY THEY CALL THEM
BRIEF THINGS.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
WHY DON'T I JUST GO FROM THERE.
>> THANK YOU.
WE ARE HAVING OUR LAST FINANCE
AND NEIGHBORHOODS COMMITTEE
MEETING OF THE YEAR NEXT
WEDNESDAY.
ONE WEEK -- 10 DAYS FROM NOW
BUT WE WILL HAVE A LOT ON THE

>> COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD?
>> AS FAR AS ITEMS I HAVE ON
THE FULL COUNCIL AGENDA FROM
THE CIVIL RIGHTS UTILITIES
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARTS
COMMITTEE, WE HAVE THREE
SEATTLE MUSIC COMMISSION
REAPPOINTMENTS.
THEY ARE COUNCIL REAPPOINTMENTS
AND WE ALSO HAVE A COUNCIL BILL
THAT GIVES THE AUTHORITY TO THE
OFFICE OF ARTS AND CULTURE TO
SAID FEES AND CHARGES FOR
CULTURAL SPACES OWNED OR
OPERATED BY THE OFFICE OF ARTS
AND CULTURE, CURRENTLY.
THAT AUTHORITY IS LIMITED IN
THE SEATTLE MUNICIPAL CODE TO
LANGSTON HUGHES PERFORMING
ARTS, THEY LIKE THE FLEXIBILITY
TO CHARGE RENTAL FEES FOR THE
FACILITY AT THE KING STREET
STATION.
ALSO, THIS WEEK, ON THURSDAY,
MY COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE
HOSTING A LUNCH AND LEARN
REGARDING RECOMMENDATIONS FROM
SEATTLE'S REENTRY WORKGROUP.
THE SEATTLE REENTRY WORKGROUP
WAS CREATED BY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION 31637, SPEARHEADED
BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT HARRELL
AND IT'S REALLY FOCUSED ON
COORDINATING AND STRENGTHENING
THE CITY'S EFFORTS TO ASSIST
REENTRY FOR FOLKS WHO ARE
COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY OUT
OF INCARCERATION.
THAT WORKGROUP, ITSELF, IS
COMPOSED OF COMMUNITY AND
INSTITUTIONAL STAKEHOLDERS
WORKING ON THESE ISSUES AND
THEY WILL TOGETHER BE JOINING
US ON THURSDAY AT NOON.
I'M HAPPY TO -- I DIDN'T PRINT
OUT COPIES OF THE REPORT -- BUT
I'M HAPPY TO SEND FOLKS COPIES
OF THE REPORT IN ADVANCE.
ALSO, FOR REGIONAL COMMITTEE
MEETINGS, THIS WEEK, I HAVE THE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND
THE REGIONAL WATER QUALITY
COMMISSION MEETING COMING UP
THIS WEEK.
I WANT TO MAKE MENTION -- I
THINK BEFORE WE ARE DONE HERE
-- HOPEFULLY, WE WILL BE
GETTING A COPY OF A
PROCLAMATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
DAVE. I LIKE TO DISTRIBUTE THAT
FOR SIGNATURES, BUT NOT ALL OF
US ARE HERE BUT WE COULD GET
STARTED.
THIS IS A PROCLAMATION FOR HUMAN
RIGHTS DAY AND I WILL BE
PRESENTING THE PROCLAMATION ON
BEHALF OF THE CITY ON THURSDAY
AND THE COMMEMORATION FOR THE
70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN
RIGHTS.
I HAVE OFFICE HOURS NEXT FRIDAY
THE 14TH AT THE SOUTH PARK
COMMUNITY CENTER FROM 2:00
UNTIL 7:00 AND THEN A BRIEF
ANNOUNCEMENT I'D LIKE TO SHARE
WITH YOU.
TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY THAT OUR
CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS WILL BE
AVAILABLE VIA CLOSED
CAPTIONING.
THE SEATTLE CHANNEL HAS BEEN
TESTING THIS CAPABILITY FOR THE
PREVIOUS WEEK AND THIS NEW WORK
IS TAKING THE SEATTLE CHANNEL
TO INCREASE ACCESS TO COUNCIL
MEETINGS FOR OUR HARD-OF-HEARING
VIEWERS.
THIS IS THE RESULT OF BUDGET
ACTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL TOOK
LAST YEAR AND I'M REALLY
EXCITED THAT ALL FOLKS IN
SEATTLE WILL BE ABLE TO
APPRECIATE SEATTLE'S FANTASTIC
CIVIC PROGRAMMING.
HOPEFULLY, IN A FUTURE BUDGET
CYCLE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO
EXPAND THE CLOSED CAPTIONING TO
INCLUDE ALL OF THE SEATTLE
CHANNEL PROGRAMMING, NOT JUST
OUR FANTASTIC MEETINGS THAT
PEOPLE LOVE TO WATCH.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT
ANNOUNCEMENT.
THAT'S GREAT.
>> COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA?
>> THERE ARE NO ITEMS FROM THE
HOUSING HEALTH ENERGY WORKERS
RIGHT ON THE FULL COUNCIL
AGENDA.
WE WILL HAVE OUR FIRST MEETING
IN DECEMBER, DECEMBER 6, THIS
THURSDAY AND I HOPE FOLKS MIGHT
BE ABLE TO JOIN US, IF YOU'RE
INTERESTED IN DISCUSSING THE
OFFICE, WE ARE WORKING
DILIGENTLY WITH THE SEATTLE
SILENCE BREAKERS, THE COALITION
FOR CITY UNIONS AND HAVE ALSO
TALKED TO SOME CONSULTANTS
WORKING IN OUR STATE CAPITOL ON
THEIR EFFORTS TO CREATE SAFE
AND RESPECTFUL PLACES FOR
PEOPLE TO BOTH COME TO IF
THEY'VE EXPERIENCED
INTIMIDATION OR HARASSMENT AND
WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN PREVENT
THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR FROM
OCCURRING.
WE HAVE SOME GOOD IDEAS THAT WE
WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE IN THE
ORDINANCE FOR THE COUNCIL'S
CONSIDERATION.
IN ADDITION, WE WILL HAVE THE
TWO REAPPOINTMENTS TO THE
CAPITOL HILL HOUSING
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, IT
APPOINTMENTS TO THE OFFICE OF
LABOR STANDARDS ADVISORY
COMMITTEE AND WE WILL HAVE, AS
WELL, A DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE
VOTE ON AN ORDINANCE ON THE
COMPLETION OF THE JOINT UTILITY
TRENCH IN BOTHELL.
LATER THIS WEEK, I WILL BE
ATTENDING THE SEATTLE PLANNING
COMMISSION NEIGHBORHOODS FOR
ALL.
THERE WILL BE A REPORT RELEASED
AT THIS EVENT AND I'M REALLY
EXCITED.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW TO DO
A BETTER JOB OF NOT JUST MOVING
FORWARD ON CREATING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND MORE DENSE HOUSING
IN THE UP ZONES THAT HAVE BEEN
APPROVED, BUT ALSO, THROUGHOUT
SEATTLE.
THERE'S INCREDIBLE INFORMATION
THROUGH THE RACIAL EQUITY LANDS
ABOUT WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO
THAT AND THE 86% OF LAND
CURRENTLY ZONED FOR SINGLE-
FAMILY USE AND HOW TO DO THAT
IN WAY THAT PROMOTES GREEN
SPACE AND CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND LIVABILITY.
SO, THAT WILL BE LATER TODAY AT
4:00 AND ON TUESDAY I WILL TO
ATTEND AN EVENT HOSTED BY OP
CD'S URBAN INNOVATION SPEAKER
SERIES G ENTITLED, WE CAN
CREATE MORE HOUSING CHOICES AND
LOWER DENSITY NEIGHBORHOODS
QUESTION MARK?
THAT'S IN THE NIGHT ROOM.
ON THURSDAY, I WILL SPEAK AT AN
EVENT THAT IS A TOWN HALL THAT
THE STATE EMPLOYEE, THE
WASHINGTON FEDERATION OF STATE
EMPLOYEES IS HAVING THIS TO
REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING
ON WITH SOME OF THE LAUNDRY
WORKERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
WASHINGTON AND LOOKING FORWARD
TO LEARNING MORE AND THE YMCA
BENEFIT CENTER ON THE SAME
NIGHT.
I BELIEVE COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD
WILL BE THERE?
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
>> ON FRIDAY, I LOOK FORWARD TO
JOINING MY COLLEAGUE,
COUNCILMEMBER BAGSHAW AND I
BELIEVE WE WILL BE AT THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS MEETING AND I'M
LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING
TO PARTICIPATING IN THAT
EFFORT.
I ALSO WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE
FACT THAT OVER THE LAST TWO
WEEKS, WE'VE SEEN HEADLINE
AFTER HEADLINE TALKING ABOUT THE
CLIMATE CHANGE THAT IS PRESSING
UPON OUR COMMUNITIES, NOT JUST
OUR COUNTRY, BUT THE GLOBE.
AND, THE REALITY THAT CLIMATE
CHANGE -- IF WE DON'T COURSE
CORRECT -- WILL HAVE
DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES.
THE HEADLINES HAVE TALKED ABOUT
INCREASED HURRICANES AND FIRES
AND SEVERE WEATHER AND THE FACT
THAT MANY OF OUR NATURAL
SPECIES ARE REALLY BEING
THREATENED BY THE TYPE OF
CLIMATE CHANGE BEING IMPOSED
UPON US.
NOT ONLY IS IT CRITICAL FOR US
TO RECOGNIZE THIS AT THE
NATIONAL LEVEL, BUT REALLY, WE
ARE CALLED UPON AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL TO ACT WITH URGENCY
BECAUSE IN THIS COUNTRY WE ARE
GOING BACKWARD, IN TERMS OF OUR
COMMITMENT.
ONE OF THE REPORTS LOOKING AT
THE FOURTH NATIONAL ASSESSMENT
SAID THAT IN THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST, ALONE, WE COULD SEE
LESS SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS.
THAT DECREASE IN SNOW COULD
IMPACT THE WATER SUPPLY AND THE
ENTIRE WAY OF LIFE.
THAT CLIMATE CHANGE WILL CREATE
DAMAGE TO OUR SALMON HABITAT,
DRY OUT OUR FARMS AND HARM THE
REGION'S OUTDOOR INDUSTRY AND
INCREASE WILDFIRE RISK.
WE'VE ALL SEEN THE CONSEQUENCES
OF EXTREME WEATHER AND HEAT AND
DROUGHT IN OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE
SOUTH.
CALIFORNIA HAS HAD SEVERE FIRES
FOLLOWED BY TORRENTIAL RAIN
WHICH CREATES MUDSLIDES.
I WANTED TO BRING THIS UP IN
THE CONTEXT OF WHAT WE CAN DO
IN 2019 AND ACT WITH URGENCY AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL, ESPECIALLY
GIVEN OUR NATIONAL PARTNERS OR
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THAT HAS
EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN
STANDING IN THE WAY OF
PREVENTING CLIMATE CHANGE.
I THINK WE WILL STAND UP AND
SHOW THE WAY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION.
DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING SPECIFIC
YOU WERE DOING IN THE FIRST
QUARTER?
>> YES, WOULD YOU LIKE TO -- >>
ONE THING I WANTED TO ADD, THE
OUTREACH THAT WE HAVE DONE -- I
THINK THEY ARE CALLING IT
ECONOMICS AND PAUL ROBERTS FROM
EVERETT IS PARTICIPATING.
I WOULD LOVE TO TALK WITH YOU
AND COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN TO
MAKE SURE WE HAVE A PLAN HERE
THAT WE CAN MOVE ON IN THE
FIRST QUARTER 2019.
>> THAT'S WONDERFUL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I DO HAVE A REPORT, AS WELL,
MR. PRESIDENT FROM
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ.
>> 10 APPOINTMENTS, CORRECT?
>> [ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S CORRECT.
A REPORT FROM THE GENDER EQUITY
NEW AMERICANS IN EDUCATION
COMMITTEE, THERE WILL BE 10
ITEMS ON THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA PERTAINING TO THIS
COMMITTEE.
THESE INCLUDE EIGHT
REAPPOINTMENTS -- I'M SORRY, IT
APPOINTMENTS AS WELL AS TWO
REAPPOINTMENTS TO THE IMMIGRANT
AND REFUGEE COMMISSION.
WE WISH OUR COLLIE GOOD LOG --
GOOD LUCK.
>> COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN?
>> SUSTAINABILITY AND
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING ON THE
AGENDA THIS AFTERNOON BUT WE
HAVE OUR FIRST MEETING IN A FEW
MONTHS AND ON TOMORROW'S AGENDA
WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ITEMS.
SIX APPOINTMENTS TO THE SEATTLE
BICYCLE ADVISORY BOARD AND WE
WILL BE GETTING AN UPDATE ON
SOUND TRANSIT 3 WEST SEATTLE
AND BALLARD LINK EXTENSIONS
AND WE WILL HAVE THE LEADERSHIP
GROUP -- THEY DID NOT HAVE A
MEETING LAST MONTH -- WE HAD
BRIEFINGS TO GET UPDATED BUT
WE'VE ASKED SOUND TRANSIT TO
COME TO THE TABLE TOMORROW TO
WALK THROUGH WHERE THEY ARE IN
THE PROCESS.
SPECIFICALLY, ASKING THEM TO
TALK ABOUT THE RACIAL -- THE
RACIAL EQUITY TOOLKIT BEING
DONE FOR THE ALIGNMENT,
SPECIFICALLY IN THE DISTRICT
AND THERE SHOULD BE A GOOD
DISCUSSION ON THE TOMORROW.
THERE IS ONGOING WORK THERE.
WE WILL GET AN UPDATE ON THE
LEVEE TO MOVE SEATTLE.
THERE IS A WORK PLAN THAT WAS
RELEASED THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
THIS WORK PLAN LAYS OUT A MUCH
HIGHER LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY ON
THE REMAINING SIX YEARS OF THE
LEVEE AND HOW THEY PLAN TO
ADDRESS A VARIETY OF THINGS.
ONE IS THAT SDOT HAS STRUGGLED
TO GET PROJECTS OUT THE DOOR AT
THE PACE OF WHICH THE LEVEE
ANTICIPATED AND TWO, THE
CONSTRUCTION MARKET IS SHIFTING
AND THINGS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE
TODAY THAN THEY WERE WHEN THE
LEVEE WENT OUT TO VOTERS THREE
YEARS AGO AND THREE, THE
FEDERAL FUNDING SCENARIO
ANTICIPATED, BASED ON A
COMBINATION OF OVERLY AMBITIOUS
ASSUMPTIONS EVEN AT THE TIME
PLUS A COMPLETE CHANGE IN THE
FEDERAL FUNDING ENVIRONMENT
TODAY HAVE CAUSED THEM TO
RESHAPE SOME THINGS AND WE WILL
BE DIGGING INTO THAT.
WE'VE SET UP A PROCESS WHERE WE
WILL BE, ESSENTIALLY, THROUGH
RESOLUTION AT SOME POINT --
BLESSING THIS.
WE WON'T DO THAT TOMORROW BUT
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST
CONVERSATION IN GETTING SOME
PUBLIC DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT IS
IN THAT WORK PLAN.
WE HAVE A BRIEFING ON COUNCIL
BILLS RELATED TO STATE ROUTE
520 PROJECTS, THE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY IN THE STATE,
NOT A VOTE ON THAT BUT A
DISCUSSION AND THEN WE HAVE A
COUPLE ORDINANCES AROUND STREET
VACATIONS.
THE FIRST IS COMPLETING A
STREET VACATION ON HARBOR
ISLAND.
THE PORT OF SEATTLE, THIS IS A
PROJECT THAT I BELIEVE US CLOSE
TO TWO DECADES IN THE WORK AND
-- IN THE WORKS. I
BELIEVE OVER THOSE TWO DECADES
I HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF
ATTEMPTS TO FINALIZE IT.
FOR WHATEVER REASON, THINGS RAN
INTO HICCUPS AND IT WAS TABLED
AND DIDN'T COME BACK.
SO, I FEEL FAIRLY CONFIDENT WE
WILL BE ABLE TO FINALLY RESOLVE
THIS.
THERE'S NOTHING SUBSTANTIVE,
POLICY WISE, JUST A LOT OF WORK
BACK AND FORTH WITH THE IDEA OF
PIPELINING OWNERS TO GET IT
RESOLVED.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE CLERK FILE
ABOUT A VACATION AT THE BROAD
STREET ELECTRICAL STATION,
SEATTLE CITY LIGHT WOULD LIKE
TO VACATE PART OF BROAD STREET.
BROAD STREET, AS A WHOLE, IS
BEING VACATED BECAUSE WE ARE NO
LONGER USING THAT.
IT'S ABOUT 3400 SQUARE FEET AT
THE STATION AND THEN WE HAD A
CONVERSATION IN JULY, I
BELIEVE, WAS SEATTLE CITY
LIGHT, PRELIMINARY TO APPROVE
THE CLERK FILE AND THE PLAN IS
TO VOTE ON THIS TOMORROW AND
THAT GIVES THEM CLARITY THAT
THIS IS WHAT WE'VE TOLD YOU TO
DO AND WE WILL APPROVE THIS
WHEN THAT WORK IS DONE.
>> IN ASK A QUICK QUESTION?
THE COUNCILMEMBER, JUST WEST OF
THE SUBSTATION, THERE IS AN
ALLEY THAT IS UNDER QUESTION.
WILL SEATTLE CITY LIGHT
CONTINUE TO USE THAT AS ACCESS
TO THE SUBSTATION, DO YOU KNOW?
>> I DO NOT KNOW.
I'M TRYING TO PICTURE WHERE THE
ALLEY IS JUST WEST OF IT.
>> THE PARKING LOT WHERE RIDE
THE DUCKS IS RIGHT NOW.
>> YEAH.
>> THE REASON I'M BRINGING IT
UP IS THAT IS THE PLANNED SITE
FOR THE NEW SKATE PARK.
I THINK THERE HAS BEEN SOME
INTEREST IN EITHER MOVING THAT
ACCESS OR FINDING SOME WAY THAT
THEY COULD EXCHANGE PROPERTY TO
MAKE THE SKATE PARK ONE THAT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DIVIDED WITH
THIS ACCESS ROAD FOR HEAVY
EQUIPMENT.
I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT
THIS AND I WOULD JUST LIKE -- >>
SURE.
I CAN MAKE A NOTE TO ASK WHAT
THEY KNOW ABOUT THAT.
>> RIGHT.
JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE
TALKING TO SEATTLE CENTER AND
TO THE FOLKS WORKING SO HARD TO
GET THIS FUNDED.
>> YEAH.
WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT SKATE
PARK.
WE SHARE THAT GOAL.
THE PARCEL TO THE WEST OF THE
ACTUAL SUBSTATION, ALSO HAS THE
BROAD STREET CUTTING THROUGH
THAT AND THIS IS NOT VACATING
THAT, IT IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF
TAYLOR WITH A CORNER THAT IS
ABOUT 100 X 85 FEET THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT VACATING AND I
WILL BRING THAT UP IN
COMMITTEE.
>> THERE LOOKING TO CATCH OUR
EYE.
WOULD IT BE OKAY IF BEVERLY
CAME TO THE MICROPHONE?
>> PLEASE DO.
>> HOLD ON ONE SECOND.
WE ARE GETTING THE MICROPHONE
TURNED ON.
>> GOOD MORNING.
BEVERLY BARNETT WAS SEATTLE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
I HEARD THE TRANSPORTATION
DISCUSSION ON BROAD STREET AND
COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN WAS
TALKING ABOUT A BLOCK TO THE
EAST OF THE PROPOSED SKATE
PARK.
THE BROAD STREET VACATION, THEY
ARE LOOKING AT THIS TOMORROW
AND THAT IS FOR A TRIANGULAR
PORTION OF BROAD STREET
ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING BROAD
STREET SUBSTATION.
THE BLOCK TO THE WEST, CITY
LIGHT HAS A FACILITY THEY CALL
THE AN EX-AND BROAD STREET HAS
A RIGHT-OF-WAY BEING LOOKED AT
FOR THE SKATE PARK REPLACEMENT.
IT IS ADJACENT TO THAT
FACILITY.
THE ALLEY AND THE ACCESS WOULD
CONTINUE TO BE PART OF ANY
SKATE PARK DESIGN BUT IT'S
ACTUALLY ONE BLOCK TO THE WEST
OF THE SUBSTATION VACATION, THE
ONE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
BEVERLY.
>> RAGE. I
ALSO HAVE SOME NOTES FROM
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON, WHO IS
SICK THIS MORNING.
I WILL JUMP INTO THE PLANNING
LAND USE ZONING COMMITTEE.
THERE ARE SIX ITEMS ON THE
INTRODUCTION CALENDAR INCLUDING
THREE APPOINTMENTS TO THE
SEATTLE PLANNING COMMISSION.
THE COUNCIL CONTAINS THE
CLARIFICATION OF GOALS AROUND
OFF STREET PARKING AND REVISING
THE BALLARD BOUNDARY TO
FACILITATE THE PROCESS FOR THE

THE COUNCIL GRANTED CONDITIONED

MASTER PLAN PROCESS THAT HAS
BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE AND
CLERK FILE 314-410, AN
APPLICATION FROM KING COUNTY
METRO TO ALLOW A BUS LAYOVER
FACILITY WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-
WAY LOCATED AT 699 EAST LAKE
AVENUE NORTH.
THIS APPLICATION -- THIS IS THE
QUASI JUDICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT AND
MAKING FOR YOU.
THIS APPLICATION IS NOW PENDING
FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE
QUASI JUDICIAL RULES.
COUNCILMEMBER SHOULD AVOID
COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE MERITS
OF THE REZONING APPLICATION WITH
PROPONENTS OR OPPONENTS OF THE
PROJECTS.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE

THE COMMITTEE HAS NO ITEMS ON

WITH 7 ITEMS ON THAT AGENDA,
THREE APPOINTMENTS TO THE
PLANNING COMMISSION, BRIEFING,
PUBLIC HEARING AND POSSIBLE
VOTES ON TWO MEMBERS TO THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE THINGS
ON THE CALENDAR I MENTIONED IN A
BRIEFING AND POSSIBLE VOTE ON A
BILL TO HAVE THE TRANSPORTATION
LEVEL STANDARDS -- SERVICE
STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THE PLAN
AND A DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE
VOTE ON THE UW DECISION.
AS A REMINDER, THE UW MASTER
PLAN IS STILL A QUASI JUDICIAL
MATTER AND THE COUNCIL RULES
RELATED TO EX PARTE
COMMUNICATIONS CONTINUE TO
APPLY.
ALSO, THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
MANDATORY HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
HAS ITS NEXT MEETING TODAY,
10:30 A.M.
OR, AFTER THE SELECT MEETING
ENDS AND WE HAVE THREE ITEMS ON
THAT AGENDA.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE RECENT YEAR-
LONG APPEAL PROCESS FOR
CITYWIDE MHA PROPOSAL AND THE

OUT ON MORE DESPERATELY NEEDED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
HOUSING.
AND, PRESENTATION ON THE
DISPLACEMENT ANALYSIS FOR THE
CITYWIDE MHA PROPOSAL.
FINALLY, I AM CIRCULATING A
PROCLAMATION ON BEHALF OF
COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON, WHO IS
SICK THIS MORNING AND THIS IS
FOR BRYANT ELEMENTARY, A
SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOL IN
NORTHEAST SEATTLE THAT IS
CELEBRATING THEIR 100TH
ANNIVERSARY.
WE WILL PRESENT THE
PROCLAMATION TO PRINCIPAL
MARSHALL AT FULL COUNCIL TODAY.
IT'S DATED THE 13TH, THE ACTUAL
DAY THEY ARE HOLDING A
CELEBRATION.
I'M NOT SURE IF I'M REQUIRED BY
COUNCIL RULES TO USE OTHER
COUNCILMEMBERS PONDS AND WOMEN
-- TO COUNCILMEMBER PUNS.
THEY ARE CALLING IT THE BRY
CENTENNIAL.
>> JUST TO REMIND YOU, WE LIKE
TO START AT 10:00 SHARP AND
THAT WOULD BE THE SELECT
COMMITTEE ON CIVIL ARENAS ON
THE DAIS.
WE WILL HAVE SDOT, MARSHALL
FOSTER, AND WE WILL ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS AND THAT SHOULD BE
LESS THAN 30 MINUTES AND WE
WILL MOVE RIGHT INTO THE MHA
COMMITTEE MEETING AFTER THAT.
WITH THAT, WE STAND ADJOURNED.
10:00, A HARD START ON THE
DAIS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
