NOW THAT YOU HAVE DONE IN OPEN
SESSION.
>> THANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING.
MY OFFICE EMAILED YOU ALL LAST
WEEK. OF COURSE TIMING WISE IT
SHOULD'VE BEEN LAST WEEK BUT IT
WAS OUT SICK.
I HOPE COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL
SIGN IT RETROACTIVELY AND WILL
MAKE THIS PART OF THE 2019
RECORD THAT THE CITY COUNCIL IS
STANDING WITH OUR TRANS
COMMUNITY MEMBERS AGAINST
VIOLENCE AND OPPRESSION.
AND OF COURSE WE KNOW THIS IS
GENERALLY IMPORTANT.
AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE
TRANS COMMUNITY MEMBERS
THEMSELVES LEADING ON THIS.
AND HOSTING YEAR AFTER YEAR THE
TRANSGENDER DAVE REDBIRDS WHICH
HAS TURNED INTO TRANSGENDER DAY
OF REMEMBRANCE AND RESISTANCE
ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE
ATTACKS BY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION AND THEIR
ATTEMPTS TO ERASE TRANS PEOPLE
FROM CIVIL RIGHTS PROTECTIONS.
I AM HAPPY WE ARE DOING THIS
PROCLAMATION.
AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TODAY I INTENDED TO BRING BACK
THE BUDGET AMENDMENT WE
DISCUSSED TO FUND RESTORATIVE
JUSTICE PROGRAMS BUT BUDGET
CHAIR COUNCILMEMBER BAGSHAW
HAS BROUGHT FORWARD AN
AMENDMENT I'M HAPPY TO SPONSOR
WITH HER.
SHE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS
MORE I AM SURE WHEN SHE STARTS
DISCUSSING THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
AND A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND I
SUPPORT THE AMENDMENT STRONGLY.
FINALLY I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE
WITH YOU AMENDMENTS FOR THE PNC
LEGISLATION THAT WE HAVE AT OUR
CITY COUNCIL MEETING IN THE
AFTERNOON.
AS YOU KNOW, HUNDREDS OF TNC
DRIVERS, ESPECIALLY DRIVERS OF
COLOR HAVE ADVOCATED FOR A
SOLITARY AND RESOURCE CENTER.
THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE
DISCUSSED BUT DIDN'T BRING
FORWARD AN AMENDMENT BECAUSE WE
WERE STILL TALKING TO THE
DRIVERS AND ALSO THE DRIVERS
WERE DISCUSSING WITH THE
TEAMSTERS AND THE DRIVERS
ASSOCIATION.
SO IN COLLABORATION WITH THEM
WE NOW HAVE SOME AMENDMENTS
WAITING FOR CITY COUNCIL.
THIS AFTERNOON.
AND THE TNC LEGISLATION HAS
BEEN GROUPED WITH OTHER BUDGET
LEGISLATIONS.
SO WE ARE BRINGING THIS TODAY
AND I WILL SAY MORE ABOUT THIS
AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING SO

AIDEN WRIGHT IS A LITTLE BOY
THAT WAS BORN 26 WEEKS INTO
ALLISON'S PREGNANCY. AND SHE
HAS BEEN VERY OPEN ABOUT IT IN
POSTING ABOUT HIM AND AIDEN

SOLUTION FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALL OF
YOU.
ALSO WITH GREAT PLEASURE,
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT AND I ARE
GOING TO BRING FORWARD AN
AMENDMENT, SOMETHING THAT LAST
WEEK WE HEARD.
AND MY CONCERN AT THAT POINT WAS
, AND THIS IS ABOUT THE YOUTH
DIVERSION RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
PROGRAMS THAT I PERSONALLY HAD
NOT TALKED WITH THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE SOURCE OF
FUNDS.
I HAVE SINCE TALKED WITH THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT AND I HAVE
CONNECTED WITH THE EXECUTIVE.
PEOPLE ARE NOT THRILLED ABOUT
HAVING MORE MONEY TAKEN OUT OF
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
BUT FRANKLY I AM THRILLED ABOUT
THIS RESTORATIVE JUSTICE YOUTH
DIVERSION AND EDUCATION EFFORT.
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT AND I WILL
BRING THIS FORWARD.
IT WILL BE PART OF OUR PACKAGE
WHEN IT GOES FORWARD AT 2 PM.
PEOPLE WILL KNOW WE ARE
SUPPORTING THIS ADDITIONAL
$226,000.
I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU AND
YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS ON THIS.
I THINK THAT IS FOR ME, IT.
WE HAVE A BUDGET MEETING
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS MEETING.
I HOPE IT WON'T TAKE US BEYOND
NOON.
THEN WILL HAVE A 2 PM MEETING

COMMITTEE MEETING.
>> THANK YOU COMES MEMBER BAG
SHOT.
COMES MEMBER AND PARKS CHAIR
PRESIDENT COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ
.
>> MORNING EVERYBODY.
OUR NEXT CIVIC DEVELOPMENT,
PUBLIC ASSETS, AND NATIVE
COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE MEETING
IS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 4 AT
2 PM.
AS FOR CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS,
THIS AFTERNOON THE IRC INCLUDES
14 APPOINTMENTS TO THE CITIES
NEW CENTRAL WATERFRONT
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ALSO KNOWN
AS THE SEA WALK.
IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2019 BY
ORDINANCE 125761.
THIS COMMITTEE SHALL PROVIDE
FEEDBACK TO THE CITY AND
CENTRAL WATERFRONT ON THE
OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE, SAFETY
AND SECURITY OF THIS PUBLIC
PARK.
THE APPOINTMENTS WILL BE MADE
BEFORE MY COMMITTEE, THEY CIVIC
DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC ASSETS, AND
NATIVE COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE ON
DECEMBER 4 AT 2 PM.
AS YOU KNOW WE HAVE DONE A LOT
OF WORK ON THE WATERFRONT AND
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE
OFFICE OF THE WATERFRONT.
I AM EXCITED TO WORK WITH THE
NEW BOARD.
QUICKLY, AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE
HAVE EIGHT MEETING LAST MONDAY
FOR THE METROPOLITAN PARK
DISTRICT AND WILL HAVE ONE LAST
ONE TODAY.
ONCE THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
úCONCLUDES I WILL DO THE
MEETING.
LAST WEEK RECEIVED A BRIEFING
AND PRESENTATION ON THE PARK
DISTRICT ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS
A FINANCIALS BY SUPERINTENDENT
AND TRACY CLIFFT FROM CENTRAL
STAFF.
THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A PUBLIC
HEARING TO ACCEPT COMMENTS ON
PROPOSED REVENUE SOURCES FOR
THE METROPOLITAN PARK DISTRICTS
2020 OPERATING BUDGET.
I WILL SAY THERE WAS SOME
CONFUSION OVER WHETHER THE
PROPOSED LEGISLATION IS
AUTHORIZING AN INCREASE IN
PROPERTY TAXES OR THE RATE
BEING CHARGED TO INDIVIDUAL THE
OWNERS.
THE 2020 BUDGET REMAINS
UNCHANGED EXCEPT FOR THE
RECEIPT OF UNANTICIPATED JUST
EARNINGS THAT WILL COVER THE
PARK DISTRICTS PORTION OF THE
ANNUAL WAGE INCREASE INCLUDED
IN THE PROPOSED CITY LABOR
AGREEMENTS.
AS WAS COVERED DURING THE
DISCUSSION OF THE SEATTLE PARKS
AND RECREATION'S 2020 PROPOSED
BUDGET CHANGES.
THE CITY AUTHORIZED A SIX YEAR
SPENDING PLAN IN 2014 AND EVERY
YEAR SINCE THEN WE HAVE
APPROVED THE PARK DISTRICT
BUDGET IN NOVEMBER.
PARALLEL TO THE CITY BUDGET
PROCESS AND TIMELINE AS
REQUIRED BY THE RCW.
THIS IS NOTHING NEW.
WE WILL JUST MOVE FORWARD
AGAIN.
I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION AND
I APPRECIATE THOSE VIGILS
COMING OUT LAST WEEK AND
SPEAKING UP.
OUR NEXT PARK DISTRICT BOARD
MEETING IS THIS AFTERNOON EMILY
FOLLOWING THE COUNCIL MEETING.
THE AGENDA INCLUDES ONE
PRESENTATION AND FIVE PIECES OF
LEGISLATION.
I BELIEVE THERE ARE FIVE
RESOLUTIONS THAT WILL AUTHORIZE
AND ADOPT THE 2020 SEATTLE PARK
DISTRICT BUDGET.
ILOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EACH
OF YOU THERE.
THANK YOU.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND ARTS

IT IS ITEM NUMBER 37.
THIS IS THE HATE CRIMES
LEGISLATION THAT PASSED
COMMITTEE IN THE SUMMERTIME.
THAT WE HAVE BEEN HOLDING,
WORKING, SOME RESOLUTION WITH
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND
COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS.
WE, THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HAS A
DIFFERENT APPROACH SHE WANTS TO
PURSUE.
I CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT THAT AT FULL COUNCIL.
I WILL BE MOVING FOR A HOLD ON
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION.
>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD . COUNCILMEMBER
GONZALEZ.
>> GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
I HAVE NOTHING ON THIS
AFTERNOON'S AGENDA.
FOR THE GENDER EQUITY, SAFE

HOWEVER.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU ALL A
HEADS UP AS TO A FEW MEETINGS
COMING UP IN DECEMBER.

BY THE COMMUNITY POLICE
COMMISSION, THE OFFICE OF
POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL TO
KICK OFF THE DISCUSSION, THE
PUBLIC DISCUSSION ON EMBARKING
UPON LABOR NEGOTIATIONS WITH
THE SEATTLE POLICE OFFICERS
GUILD.
THAT WILL BE A HEARING DECEMBER
5, THAT IS THE EARLIEST HEARING
WE CAN DO IN ORDER TO COMPLY
WITH THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
THAT REQUIRE THE CITY COUNCIL
TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING TO
HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT
CONCERNS RELATED TO THE
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
BEFORE THE EXECUTIVE CAN
ACTUALLY FORMULATE THE
PARAMETERS AND BEGIN THE
OFFICIAL FORMAL PROCESS OF
NEGOTIATION.
THAT IS DECEMBER 5 AT 5:30 PM
HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
MY STAFF WILL BE WALKING THE
FLOOR JUST TO BE ABLE TO
IDENTIFY WHO INTENDS TO COME TO
THAT PUBLIC HEARING.
REALLY WANT TO STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES TO
ATTEND IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE TO
ATTEND.
I THINK AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY
FOR US TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM
MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ABOUT
ONGOING CONCERNS WITH THE
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY
WE WILL BE NEGOTIATING WITH
MANAGEMENT NEXT YEAR.
THROUGH THAT LABOR RELATIONS
POLICY PROCESS.
THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR
FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT ONGOING
CONCERNS RELATED TO THE
CONTRACT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STRUCTURE
OF THE COMMITTEE ARE WHAT YOU
CAN ANTICIPATE AT THE
COMMITTEE, YOU CAN TALK TO CODY
IN MY OFFICE.
YOU CAN ALSO TALK TO COUNCIL
CENTRAL STAFF , DAN, WHO STAFFS
THIS ISSUE FOR THE LABOR
RELATIONS POLICY COMMITTEE.
THE NEXT HEADS UP I WANTED TO
GIVE FOLKS IS THAT ON DECEMBER
11 MY COMMITTEE WILL BE HAVING
ITS REGULARLY SCHEDULED
COMMITTEE MEETING ON DECEMBER 11
. THAT IS A WEDNESDAY, AT 9:30
AM.
WE WILL KICKOFF OUR FIRST
CONVERSATION AROUND THE
CAMPAIGN ACT, THIS IS OUR
CORPORATE PACKED BILL.
WE WILL HAVE A SLATE OF LOCAL
AND NATIONAL SUBJECT MATTER
EXPERTS WHO WILL COME IN AND
HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH US
ABOUT WHY THIS ISSUE IS
IMPORTANT FOR SEATTLE AND ALSO
WALK US THROUGH FROM BOTH EIGHT
LEGAL AND PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE
WHAT THIS LAW COULD ACCOMPLISH
IN TERMS OF CONTINUING TO
PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY MOVING
FORWARD.
AND THEN THE EVENING BEFORE ON
DECEMBER 10th THERE WILL BE A
TOWN HALL ORGANIZED BY FIXED
DEMOCRACY FIRST LADY TO THE ACT
AND ISSUES RELATED TO CORPORATE
CONTRIBUTIONS AND SUPER PACS IN
OUR LOCAL ELECTIONS.
WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THE
DETAILS WITH THEM.
IT WILL LIKELY BE HERE AT CITY
HALL BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH
THOSE ADVOCATES ON STRUCTURING
A PROGRAM THERE.
THAT WILL LIKELY BE TUESDAY,
DECEMBER 10 AT 6 PM WHICH IS
THE DAY BEFORE OUR FIRST
HEARING ON THE CLEAN CAMPAIGNS
ACT WHICH IS AGAIN WEDNESDAY,
DECEMBER 11 AT 9:30 AM HERE IN
COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
THAT IS IT.
>> GONZALEZ, I THINK
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT HAD A
COMMENT.
>> YOU SAID DECEMBER 11, AND
IT'S JUST AN INITIAL
DISCUSSION?
IN CASE I DON'T MAKE IT ARE WE
GOING TO HAVE DISCUSSION IN
JANUARY?
>> DECEMBER 11 IS A BRIEFING
AND DISCUSSION.
AN INITIAL WALK-THROUGH BY LISH
WHITSON WHO IS THE COUNCIL
CENTRAL STAFF WORKING ON THIS
LEGISLATION.
HE WILL WALK THROUGH THE
LEGISLATION AS IT WAS
INTRODUCED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
AND HE WILL BE PREPARED TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
LEGISLATION AS IT WAS
INTRODUCED.
AND THEN WE WILL HAVE AN EXPERT
PANEL CONVERSATION OF SUBJECT
MATTER EXPERTS FROM ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND HERE AT HOME WHO
WILL WALK US THROUGH SOME ISSUE
IDENTIFICATION, WHY THEY THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT, AND ULTIMATELY
WHY THEY THINK WE HAVE THE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT IS A CITY
TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BILL.
>> I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
THANK YOU AGAIN THE
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ.
OF ELECTIONS WILL BE CERTIFIED
BY THEN.
WE CAN HAVE A NICE CANDID
CONVERSATION I AM SURE SOME
GOOD THINGS WILL BE GENERATED
FROM THE WORK YOU ARE DOING.
THANK YOU.
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT HARRELL ,
WILL ALSO, AS I MENTIONED IN A
PUBLIC DOCUMENT, WE WILL BE
HAVING RELATED EXECUTIVE
SESSIONS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR
PIECE OF LEGISLATION WITHOUT
DIVULGING WITH THE ACTUAL
CONTENT IS.
THAT IS ANOTHER FYI, WE WILL
HAVE A PROPERLY SCHEDULED
EXECUTIVE SESSIONS TO MAKE SURE
THOSE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED IN
THAT.
>> COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN.
>> THANK YOU.
SUSTAINABILITY AND
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE HAS A
COUPLE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.
AFTER WE FINISH OUR
THANKSGIVING BUDGET MEAL WE
HAVE ESTATE ABILITY AND
TRANSPORTATION DESERT.
WE HAVE TWO ITEMS ONE IS A
LOCAL AGREEMENT FOR THE
EXISTING STREAKER SEGMENTS FOR
KING COUNTY.
THE CURRENT LOCAL OPERATING
AGREEMENT, THIS IS THE
AGREEMENT FOR KING COUNTY METRO
THE OPERATES THE TWO STREAKER
SEGMENTS WE HAVE.
THAT EXPIRES AT THE END OF THIS
YEAR.
THIS NEEDS TO BE PASSED IF WE
WANT TO KEEP THOSE THINGS
OPERATIONAL BY THE END OF THE
YEAR.
THE LOCAL AGREEMENT IS A FIVE
YEAR AGREEMENT WITH 25 YEAR
EXTENSIONS AT THE CITIES
PREROGATIVE.
AND SO, THAT WOULD KEEP THOSE
THINGS OPERATIONAL.
A COUPLE THINGS IT CHANGES, THE
RECONCILIATION BILLING PERIOD,
I THINK ULTIMATELY WILL
TRANSITION TO MONTHLY BILLS.
IN THE PAST WE'VE DONE
CONCILIATION AT THE END OF THE
YEAR AND THINGS HAVE SHIFTED
SIGNIFICANTLY FINANCIALLY.
THAT WILL CLEAN IT UP.
IT ALSO SHIFTS SOME OF THE
RESPONSIBILITY SDOT HAVE BEEN
TAKING ON THAT MAKES MORE SENSE
FOR KING COUNTY METRO IS FOR
HIS MAINTENANCE OF THE ACTUAL
MAINTENANCE FACILITIES AND
STUFF LIKE THAT.
THE SECOND PIECE OF LEGISLATION
WE HAVE IS A STREET VACATION.
A PROJECT CALLED WILLOWS
CROSSING.
IT IS VACATE A PORTION OF NEAR
THE OTHELLO STATION.
THIS IS A PRIVATE DEVELOPER
THAT IS BUILDING A COUPLE
HUNDRED UNITS OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
THE LAND ACQUISITION WAS AIDED
IN PART WITH AN OFFICE OF
HOUSING ACQUISITION FUND THAT
WILL BE REPAID BACK IN THE
CONSTRUCTION.
THERE IS NO OTHER CITY SUBSIDY
GOING INTO THIS PROJECT.
IT USES FEDERAL TAX CREDITS.
IT IS GREAT TO SEE PROJECTS IN
ADDITION TO THE ROUGHLY 1000
UNITS PER YEAR WE ARE BUILDING
WITH CITY SUBSIDIZED MONEY,
THERE IS ALSO FOR-PROFIT
DEVELOPERS BUILDING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING USING OTHER SOURCES.
THOSE ARE THE TWO ITEMS FOR
SUSTAINABLE AND TRANSPORTATION.
>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER
BRIAN.
O'BRIEN.
THANK YOU FOR THE BRIEFING.
WE ARE GOING TO GET READY TO GO
INTO BUDGET DISCUSSIONS.
10 AM WILL BE UP ON THE DAIS.
>> YES WE WILL AND WE WILL HAVE
PUBLIC COMMENT FIRST.
>> DOES THE SELECT BUDGET
COMMITTEE AGENDA SITE 10 AM OR
1030?
>> I THOUGHT IT SAID 10:30 AM
BUT I WAS TOLD BY AMELIA AND
CREW IT CAN START AT 10 AM.
>> IT'S AT 10 AM.
SO WE WILL HAVE EIGHT MINUTES.
COUNCIL AMBER O'BRIEN, PRIOR TO
YOUR COMING IN, COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT AND I ARE GOING TO BE
PROPOSING AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE
WORK THAT SHE BROUGHT FORWARD
LAST WEEK.
AT THAT POINT IT WAS A COLD, WE
HAVE FOUND AN ALTERNATIVE
SOURCE.
WE'RE GOING TO BRING FORWARD
PRECISELY WHAT SHE WAS FOCUSED
ON WITH THE YOUTH DIVERSION AND
EDUCATION.
I AM BRINGING THAT FORWARD IT
10:30 AM SO CAN BE PART OF THE
FULL PACKAGE THIS AFTERNOON.
>> GREAT.
THANK YOU.
>> WE STAND ADJOURNED.
>> SEE YOU AT 10 AM.
