>> THANK YOU.
I AM HONORED TO PRESENT TO THE
COUNCIL AND FOLKS JOINING US
TODAY IN CHAMBERS A
PROCLAMATION HONORING THE LIFE
OF SHARON JONES.
THE PROCLAMATION ITSELF
IDENTIFIES MANY OF SHARON'S
ATTRIBUTES IN THE WAYS IN WHICH
SHE HAS HELPED INFLUENCE THE
WORK THAT WE DO HERE. I WOULD
LIKE TO READ IT.
BEFORE I GET INTO THAT JUST A
COUPLE OF WORDS.
SHARON PASSED LAST MONTH AT THE
AGE OF 66.
SHE HAD LOU GEHRIG'S DISEASE.
SHE WAS A REAL CHANGE VENDOR
AND HAD A FREQUENT PRESENCE
HERE AT CITY HALL.
SHE WAS ADVOCATING FOR THE
HOMELESS.
SHARON HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
HER EXCUSE ME A LOT OF PRIDE.
SHE WISHED TO SHARE THE
STABILITY SHE HAD IN HAVING A
HOME WITH OTHER.
SHE WAS BRINGING THIS TO LIFE.
SHARON SAW THE RISK IN AND
HEALTH IMPACTS AND FONT TO
CHANGE IT.
WE LOOKED AT THESE ISSUES AT
CITY COUNCIL.
EIGHT 2018 KING COUNTY MEDICAL
EXAMINER REPORT SHOWS THAT OF
THE 194 KNOWN DEATHS OF PEOPLE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN
THE COUNTY THE MAJORITY WERE BY
NATURAL CAUSES.
AT A MEDIAN AGE, 25 YEARS
YOUNGER THAN THE AVERAGE.
THE AUDITOR REPORT ON HATE
CRIMES PROVIDED BACKGROUND AND
DATA THAT PEOPLE LIVING
SHELTERED ARE MORE LIKELY TO
EXPERIENCE VIOLENCE AND
HARASSMENT.
ADDITIONALLY, HER OPTIMISM
ENERGY AND OPEN-MINDEDNESS MADE
HER BELOVED BY THE COMMUNITY.
SHE IS DEEPLY MISSED.
I AM HAPPY WE HAVE SOME OF HER
FRIENDS HERE WITH US TO JOIN US
AND I KNOW THAT WE CAN RELY ON
THOSE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO
PUSH OUR CITY TO BETTER SERVE
PROTECT AND REPRESENT PEOPLE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
>> THANK YOU.>> WOULD YOU LIKE
TO DASHED YOU WANT TO READ THE
PROCLAMATION?
>> PLEASE DO.
>> SHARON JONES WAS BORN IN
SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA.
AFTER SUCCUMBING TO AMANITA
ATROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS SHE
PASSED AWAY IN HOSPICE CARE AT
THE AGE OF 66 ON SUNDAY, APRIL
28, 2019.
SHE WAS A TIRELESS ADVOCATE FOR
PEOPLE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS WITH A FREQUENT
PRESENCE IN CITY HALL AND A
BELOVED PART OF THE REAL CHANGE
RESIDENT ACTION PROJECT AND TOP
POT DONUTS COMMUNITIES.
SHARON JONES WAS ACTIVE IN
LOCAL AND STATEWIDE ADVOCACY
FOR HOMELESS SERVICES AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
SHE MODELED THE IMPORTANCE OF
VISION WITH THE GREATEST LOVE
HOUSING PLAN.
RESIDENT SELF MANAGING, TRANSIT
ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AND
COMMUNITIES OF OPPORTUNITY.
IN KING COUNTY 3 OF 4 EXTREMELY
LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS BY HALF.
INCOME TOWARD RENT.
PEOPLE OF COLOR, SURVIVORS OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY REPRESENTED
IN THE HOMELESS POPULATION.
RISING RENTS ARE DRIVERS OF
HOMELESSNESS AND THE TRAUMA OF
LIVING ON SHELTERED TAKES A
SIGNIFICANT HEALTH TOLL AND THE
KING COUNTY MANAGED EXCUSE ME
MEDICAL EXAMINER'S REPORT
RECORDS 100 KNOWN DEATHS OF
EXPERIENCING DEATH BY NATURAL
CAUSES.
AT A MEDIAN AGE 25 YEARS
YOUNGER THAN THE AVERAGE.
IN RECENT STUDIES PEOPLE LIVING
ON SHELTERED OUR 19% MORE LIKELY
TO EXPERIENCE VIOLENCE THEN
HOUSED PEOPLE.
ACCORDING TO THE SEATTLE TIMES
MORE THAN 10% OF HOMICIDE
VICTIMS IN 2018 WERE HOMELESS
WHEN ATTACKED.
SHARON JONES DEDICATED HERSELF
TO CHANGING THESE CONDITIONS BY
TELLING HER STORY USING
INGENUITY TO ADVANCE THE PUBLIC
GOOD AND HIGHLIGHTING
STRUCTURAL BARRIERS OF RACISM
AND POVERTY.
SHE WAS KNOWN FOR HER
RELIABILITY, LOYALTY, HER
SELFLESS ATTITUDE DESPITE THE
DEMANDS OF COMMUTING FROM
FEDERAL WAY AND WORKING
MULTIPLE JOBS AND WHERE IS
SHARON JONES, I'M BLESSED AND
WELL REFLECTS THE OPTIMISM AND
HUMILITY BY WHICH THE CITY
STRIVES TO APPROACH PUBLIC
SERVICE AND WORK TO END
SUFFERING AND WHEREAS THE CITY
OF SEATTLE AND ITS ELECTED
LEADERS MOURN THE LOSS OF
SHARON AND GRACIOUSLY CELEBRATE
HER LIFE AND EFFORTS TO AFFECT
JUSTICE.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE SEATTLE
CITY COUNCIL HEREBY PROCLAIMS
MAY 14, 2019 TO BE HONORED FOR
THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF SHARON
L JONES.
>> THANK YOU.
>> BEFORE WE SUSPEND THE RULES
I WANT TO MAKE SURE ANY OTHER
COUNCIL MEMBERS MIGHT LIKE TO
SAY ANYTHING WE COULD HEAR FROM
OUR GUESTS.
I WOULD SIMPLY SAY IF NOT, IT
WAS A GREAT PIECE THAT YOUR
PAPER DID TO HONOR MS. JONES.
SHE WAS A REMARKABLE HUMAN
BEING.
MANY COMMUNITIES WILL MISS HER
AND I KNOW SHE WAS A SEAHAWKS
FAN.
HOPEFULLY SHE WILL BE WATCHING
SOME GAINS EXCUSE ME GAMES FROM
HER NEW VIEW.
THAT WAS CERTAINLY A LOSS.
MAYBE WE COULD HEAR FROM A
GUEST OR TWO.
>> NO PRESSURE.
TIM, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY A
FEW WORDS OR ANY OF YOU?
>>
>> MAC TAKE A PICTURE WITH ALL
OF YOU, PLEASE?
IF YOU DON'T MIND?
>> HOW ABOUT THIS.
>> THANK YOU.
AWESOME, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS LISA SAWYER.
I HAVE KNOWN SHARON JONES
THROUGHOUT THE -- A LITTLE BIT
OVER SEVEN YEARS SINCE I HAVE
BEEN HOMELESS.
RECENTLY I GOT INTO HOUSING. IT
WAS THIS PAST FEBRUARY.
DURING THE TIME I FOUND OUT
THAT SHARON DIED MY DAD PASSED
AWAY.
IT WAS A DOUBLE WHAMMY.
I WAS TOLD BY LISA THAT THIS IS
GOING TO BE HAPPENING TODAY SO
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS TIME
FOR LISTENING TO US TODAY.
SHARON JONES HAD A VISION.
SHE HAD A VISION THAT NO ONE
WOULD BE HOMELESS.
SHE HAD A BIG HUGE PLAN ON THE
PROPERTY AND HOMELESS PEOPLE
WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
BEING OUTSIDE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
BEING OR BEING BEATEN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER.
I AM EXPERIENCING FROM A
TRANSITION OF BEING OUTSIDE TO
INSIDE.
FOR PEOPLE THAT TAKE A LONG TIME
FROM BEING OUTSIDE FOR SO LONG,
IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO
TRANSITION.
I AM STILL LOOKING OVER MY
SHOULDERS FROM BEING OUTSIDE.
I AM STILL SLEEPING WITH THE
LIGHTS.
SOMETIMES I SLEEP OUTSIDE
BECAUSE I STILL HAVE THAT
MINDSET.
SHARON BRIGHTENED MY DAY.
EVERY TIME I SEE ALL HER SHE
SAYS SHE WAS BLESSED WELL AND
EVERY WEDNESDAY MORNING WE SEE
HERE AT THE OFFICE AND SHE
ALWAYS ASKED WHAT DAY IT IS AND
SHE KEEPS SAYING, PAYDAY.
>> THAT THE FIRST DAY I STARTED
A REAL CHANGE.
>> SINCE I HAVE BEEN WITH REAL
CHANGE, EVERYWHERE I WENT
SHARON WAS THERE.
SHE WAS WITH ME AT CITY COUNCIL
HEARINGS, MOST OF YOU KNOW
THAT.
SOME OF YOU MIGHT KNOW THAT SHE
WAS ALSO A PART OF THE RESIDENT
ACTION PROJECT THROUGH THE
WASHINGTON LOW INCOME HOUSING
ALLIANCE.
SHE ALSO, SHE HOSTED A WORKSHOP
THIS PAST CONFERENCE THAT WE
HAD OVER IN YAKIMA. SHE IS PUT
EVERYTHING OUT THERE JUST TO
SEE NO ONE OUTSIDE.
SHE SLEPT OUTSIDE WHEN WE WERE
ALL CAMPING OUT IN FRONT OF
CITY HALL AND UP HERE.
ALTHOUGH SHE HAD A PLACE, SHE
THOUGHT IT WAS BEST JUST TO
HAVE A SAFE PLACE AND HEALTHY
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
>> I'M IN A PLACE THAT'S OVER
THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR RENT.
NOT JUST ME, ME AND MY
BOYFRIEND.
WHAT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING?
A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKED ME THAT.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW, A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE ON SOCIAL
SECURITY BENEFITS.
MOST PEOPLE ON SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS DO NOT MAKE OVER $700
A MONTH, SOMETIMES LESS.
SENIORS MIGHT GET A LITTLE BIT
MORE THAN THAT.
MOST OF THE PEOPLE, HOMELESSNESS
. THEY ARE MOSTLY AROUND MY
AGE.
I AM 32, ALMOST 33.
WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
I'M GOING TO KEEP ON FIGHTING
AND MEMORIES OF SHARON FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SAY THAT THE
THREE DAY PAY OR VACATE, NO
MORE.
14 DAYS, HERE WE GO.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR DEDICATING A
DAY TO SHARON JONES.
YOU ARE THE BEST.
I CAN'T WAIT TO TALK TO YOU
GUYS AGAIN.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH.
>> OKAY.
I WILL BE VERY BRIEF.
MY NAME IS SHELLEY COHEN.
I'VE BEEN UP HERE MANY TIMES
TRYING TO FOLLOW MS. REAL
CHANGE.
YOU CAN'T FOLLOW HER.
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
SHE WAS AN AMAZING WOMAN.
I CAN'T VISUALIZE ANOTHER MS.
REAL CHANGE.
TO PUT ONE OF MY OTHER HATS ON
NOW.
AS A BOARD MEMBER OF REAL
CHANGE, SHE WILL DEARLY BE
MISSED.
IMPROVE ON YOUR GOOD WORK.
IT NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU SIR.
>> THANK YOU CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS.
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU LISA HERBOLD FOR THE
PRESENTATION.
>> AT THIS POINT WE WILL MOVE
ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
I WILL CALL YOU OUT IN THE
ORDER IN WHICH YOU SIGNED UP.
>> WE START OFF WITH BRIAN
SIMPSON FOLLOWED BY SHELLEY
COHEN.
>> GO AHEAD.
>> IT'S BYRON SIMPSON
>> I'M SORRY.
SEATTLE'S LB DQ COMMISSION
WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE LISA
HERBOLD FOR HER RESPONSIVENESS
TO COMMUNITY INPUT ON FRIDAY,
MAY 17.
MOVING TO DELAY THE VOTE ON
COUNCIL 11 8258.
WE EXPRESS THE IMPACTS OF THE
BILL.
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO VOTE
AGAINST THE BILL UNLESS THE
TOOLKIT IS ABLE TO CONFORM
THERE WILL BE NO INCREASE IN
DISPROPORTIONALITY RELATED TO
THE PROSECUTION OF BLACK AND
NATIVE PEOPLE.
WE HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE OUT OF
COMLIANCE WITH THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT'S CONSENT DECREE AND
AS SUCH WE ERRED CAREFUL
CONSIDERATION AT THE TIME.
IT IS IMPERATIVE FUTURE ACTION
REGARDING THIS LEGISLATION HAVE
INPUT FROM THOSE MOST IMPACTED
BY PAY CRIMES AND THOSE MS.
IMPACT BY CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN
THIS CITY AND IN THIS COUNTRY
SPECIFICALLY THE INPUT OF BLACK
AND NATIVE COMMUNITIES ALREADY
OVER POLICE THAT OVER
PROSECUTED WHILE MEASURES TO
ADDRESS BIAS ARE APPRECIATED WE
CANNOT TRAIN AWAY SYSTEMIC
OPPRESSION AND JUSTICE AND IN
INEQUALITY.
>> THOSE THINGS ARE AT THE ROOT
OF THESE CLIMES.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WE HAVE HEARD FROM SHELLEY
SO WE WILL HEAR FROM DENNIS
SAXTON.
>> [ INAUDIBLE ]
>> JOSHUA DOWER D FOLLOWED BY
TROY CHARTER.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
I AM JOSHUA DOCKERY.
I'M HERE AS THEY VOLUNTEER FOR
UNITED SEATTLE.
I AM MAKING A STATEMENT BECAUSE
THE HOMELESS NEED HELP.
WE CANNOT EXPECT PEOPLE TO [
INAUDIBLE ] THEY DO NOT
ENCOURAGE OR REQUIRE LIFESTYLE
CHANGES.
DRUG ADDITION PLAYS A MAJOR
ROLE IN THE HOMELESS CRISIS AND
REJECTING THIS TRUTH IS A PART
OF THE CITY'S PROBLEM.
DISMISSING THIS REALITY
ENCOURAGES POLICIES THAT KEEP
THE HOMELESS SUFFERING FROM
DRUG ADDITION.
THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE
CONTINUING TO BE ENSLAVED TO
SUBSTANCE ABUSE BECAUSE OF
SHACK ENCAMPMENTS THAT OFFER
LITTLE TO NO ASSISTANCE.
RETREAT EXCUSE ME REAL
TREATMENT OPTIONS MUST BE
IMPLEMENTED.
IN ADDITION PROGRESS PROVIDING
MENTORING AND JOB TRAINING ARE
CRUCIAL TO KEEPING HOMELESS OFF
THE STREET AND INTO PERMANENT
HOUSING WITH JOBS THAT CAN
PROVIDE THEM WITH PERSONAL
STABILITY, REAL ACTIONS MUST BE
TAKEN TO PROTECT HOMELESS BY
FOCUSING ON THE NEEDS OF THOSE
LIVING ON THE STREETS TO ALLOW
THEM TO CREATE A LIFE FOR
THEMSELVES.
WE NEED REAL SOLUTIONS NOT
SHOCKS.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> TROY SCHROEDER.
FOLLOWING TROY I HAVE TWO OTHERS
THAT WOULD BE IRENE WARD AND
JEFFREY EUSTIS. I DO HAVE
ANOTHER SIGN-UP SHEET HERE, OF
COURSE.
>> HELLO.
MY NAME IS TROY SCHROEDER.
I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
HOMELESS DRUG ADDICTION HANDOUT
PROJECT AND MYSELF.
85 DAYS AGO I MYSELF WAS
HOMELESS.
I USED DRUGS FOR MANY YEARS.
IT WAS ALWAYS JUST GIVEN.
THERE WAS NO HOPE.
NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE.
I WAS ON THE VERGE OF MAYBE
DYING MYSELF OR SOMETHING.
THEN THEY HAND UP A PROJECT
REACHED OUT TO ME AND THEY GAVE
ME HOPE.
THEY SHOWED ME THAT THEY CARED.
BEING A HOMELESS DRUG ADDICT,
WHEN SOMEBODY DID THAT FOR ME
THEY GOT ME INTO TREATMENT,
DETOX AND OFFERED HOUSING AND
JOBS.
BASICALLY, IF WE COULD GET MORE
HELP AND NOT CONDONE DRUGS AND
NEEDLES TO THE HOMELESS OR ANY
ADDICTION -- IT IS A BLESSING
WHEN PEOPLE SHOW THEY CARE AND
WHEN THEY CAN HELP NOT JUST
OFFER OR GIVE US OR ENABLE US
TO BE ABLE TO USE NEEDLES AND
DRUGS.
IF WE ARE ABLE TO DO THAT IT
MAKES US THINK IT IS OKAY.
IT IS NOT.
WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO HELP US
AND SHOW THAT THEY CARE IF
THERE'S ANYTHING POSSIBLE YOU
GUYS CAN DO, WE APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, SIR.
>> UNLESS THERE ARE OBJECTIONS
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE
JUDICIAL METAL LAST AND SO
UNLESS THERE ARE OBJECTIONS WE
HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER SPEAKERS.
I'M GOING TO TAKE THE
QUASIJUDICIAL MATTER LAST.
SO WE WILL HEAR FROM MARJORIE
TO SHARD THEN THE HONORABLE
MICHAEL FULLER.
>> YES.
GOOD DAY.
I AM HERE -- THERE IS THEN
ORDINANCE THAT SHOULD BE
IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY, HATE
CRIMES.
PEOPLE ARE DOWN HERE HATING ON
ME.
ANOTHER SITUATION IS THAT THIS
IS NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH MONTH
AND WE HAVE A BLACK GENTLEMAN
THAT WAS IN THE NEWS TODAY,
VERNON GRAY.
HE CAME OUT OF THE CENTRAL
DISTRICT AND WAS TOTALLY
DISRESPECTED AS A BLACK MAN.
YOU COULD CONSIDER THAT A HATE
CRIME AS WELL.
AN AGENCY FAILED TO EVEN LOOK
UPON HIM AS A HUMAN BEING.
TO THE TUNE OF SEVEN POINT
MILLION DOLLARS OR $8 MILLION
FOR NOT OBEYING THE LAW.
THE STUFF THAT HAPPENED TO MR.
GRAY IS IN LINE WITH THE CORM.
IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
CORM, YOU BETTER ASK BLACK
PEOPLE BACK IN THE 60s WHAT
COLOR DECORUM DID YOU HAVE TO
BRING FORTH THE SINGABLE RIGHTS
ACT?
HUMAN RIGHTS, BILL OF RIGHTS,
ANY RIGHTS THAT OTHER PEOPLE
ARE PRIVILEGE TO HAVE AND THEY
DO US IN AND THEN WE DON'T GET
ANYTHING.
I SAID HOW DO YOU DO THAT.
HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE LAW TO
FIT YOUR SCRIPT AND WE ARE NOT
LIVING IN THE SCRIPT.
I AM STANDING IN LINE WITH
VERNON GRAY TODAY SENDING A
MESSAGE OUT TO TELEVISION AND
ALL YOU OTHER PATHOLOGICAL
LIARS.
WE WILL NOT BE MOVED.
WE WILL STAND ON HOLY GROUND
WITH ANGELS AND FORCING US TO
DO THE RIGHT THING SO THAT
AMERICA CAN BE THE LAND OF THE
FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.
RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT.
BLACK PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING
DENIGRATED.
WE ARE NOT FREE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
THAT IS WHY I KEEP COMING DOWN
HERE.
I AM TELLING YOU AGAIN, YOU FIX
IT.
YOU HAVE LOST TO DO IT.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY.
NAOMI FINKELSTEIN FOLLOWED BY
THE HONORABLE MICHAEL FULLER.
>> TAKE YOUR TIME.
MAKE SURE THE MICROPHONE WORKS.
>> HELLO.
I AM A STRAGGLER.
THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THAT IT GOT
POSTPONED.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
MY NAME IS NAOMI FINKELSTEIN
AND I AM HERE PRIMARILY -- I
GOT UP OUT OF THE SICKBED.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE HERE.
IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO ME TO TALK
ABOUT THIS.
I AM A VICTIM OF HATE CRIMES IN
THE CITY THREE TIMES OVER.
ONCE FOR BEING JEWISH, ONCE FOR
BEINGAND WANTS FOR BEING
DISABLED.
I OPPOSE HATE.
I THINK IT IS POLITICAL AND
SYMBOLIC.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN LEGISLATE
PEOPLE'S INTENT.
I THINK THAT IS DANGEROUS
CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS TO START
MESSING WITH.
YOU START TO MESS WITH PEOPLES
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
YOU KNOW, EVEN APART FROM THAT,
IT DOESN'T WORK.
LET ME SAY IF EIGHT KNOTS HE
PUNCHES ME IN THE FACE OR TRIES
TO KILL ME OR WHATEVER IT IS,
AND THEN YOU SEND THEM TO
PRISON AND YOU DOUBLE THEIR
SENTENCE AND WE KNOW IN PRISON
THERE ARE ARYAN GANGS, WE KNOW
THAT TO BE WHITE IN A PRISON
YOU HAVE TO JOIN ONE OF THOSE
GANGS, WHAT GOOD DOES THAT DO
ME OR YOU?
ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS MADE
SOMEBODY A BETTER . THAT
DOESN'T WORK.
THAT IS THE FIRST THING.
THE SECOND THING IS THAT WE
NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE
STATE IS A PERPETRATOR OF
VIOLENCE.
I CAN COME TO THE STATE AND
EXPECT AS A QUEER I WILL BE
PROTECTED.
I EXPERIENCE VIOLENCE FROM THE
STATE ALL THE TIME SO DO BLACK
PEOPLE AND SO DO BROWN PEOPLE.
I THINK IT IS NOT SOMETHING I'M
GOING TO DO TO COME TO THE
STATE FOR PROTECTION.
WE NEED COMMUNITIES SOLUTIONS.
COMMUNITY SAFETY SOLUTIONS AND
WE NEED TO ADDRESS, I'M SORRY.
WE NEED TO ADDRESS WHY SOME
PEOPLE ARE DEVALUED BY THE
SOCIETY SO COMPLETELY THAT
OTHER PEOPLE AND THE STATE FEEL
LIKE WE ARE USELESS TRASH.
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PARTICIPATION.
>> NOT PENALIZING PEOPLE, THAT
IS THE ISSUE.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE TIME OVER,
I APOLOGIZE.
>> THE NEXT SPEAKER IS THE
HONORABLE MICHAEL FULLER.>> YES.
I WANT YOU TO BE MINDFUL AS OF
AUGUST 2010 OR 2019 IT WILL BE
400 YEARS ENSLAVEMENT BY THE
EUROPEAN SETTLERS.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND, THEN YOU
TURN AROUND, YOU DON'T WANT TO
ENFORCE IN HONOR OF GEORGE
WASHINGTON, GEORGE HW BUSH,
SENIOR WHO SERVED IN THE UNITED
STATES NAVY DURING WORLD WAR II
JUNE 6 OF 1944 AND WAS IN THE
UNITED STATES ARMY DURING WORLD
WAR II JUNE 6 OF 1944.
JOHNNY FORD JUNIOR WHO SERVED
IN THE KOREAN WAR AND VIETNAM
WAR.
I TRIED TO DECREASE
HOMELESSNESS AND Y'ALL SAID A
NEW AMERICA.
WE ARE IN THE OLD AMERICA.
YOU MUST BE MINDFUL WHEN IT IS
A CONFLICT IN STATE
CONSTITUTION THAT THE STATE
MUST YIELD TO FEDERAL
CONSTITUTION SET SEPTEMBER 27,
1983 AND THAT STARTED IN 1971
WHICH IS EXTRAORDINARY.
THEY HAVE RECKLESS CONDUCT AND
YOUR REVOCABLE INJURY AND HARM
TO BLACKS LIVES MATTER.
THIS IS NOT THE CHANGE OR THE
DREAM.
I KNEW GENERATION WITH FEMALES
AND MALES WHO FOUGHT TO MAKE
THIS COUNTRY FREE AND SECURE
FROM THE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION
REFORM ACT OF 1986 SIDE BY
PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN
>> THANK YOU.
>> FINALLY, THIS INFLUENCES [
INAUDIBLE ]
>> THANK YOU SIR.
>> OKAY.
THANK YOU.
>> I GOT A COUPLE MORE
PARENTHESES ON THAT BEFORE YOU
ARE CALLED DISRUPTIVE,.
[ INAUDIBLE ] I UNDERSTAND.
>> PLEASE HAVE A SEAT.>> THANK
YOU, SIR.
>> OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.
>> OUR NEXT OR LAST TWO
SPEAKERS WILL SPEAK ON THE
QUASIJUDICIAL MATTER. I HAVE
IRENE WALL AND JEFFREY EUSTIS.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
I AM JEFFREY EUSTIS. I WILL BE
SPEAKING FOR THE PETITIONERS IN
THE CASE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF
THE RE-MANNED AND THAT IS IRENE
WALL AND ROBERT MORGAN.
BASICALLY, THE QUESTION THAT IS
BEING PRESENTED BEFORE YOU IS
WHETHER YOU ARE GOING TO
COMPLIANCE WITH CITY CODE.
>> I'M SORRY.
>> PLEASE RESTART.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I
DON'T HAVE ANY DISTRACTIONS.
THE HONORABLE -- THANK YOU SIR.
>> OKAY.
PLEASE LET THIS GENTLEMAN SPEAK
NOW.
>> THANK YOU, SIR.
>> I'M SORRY.
PLEASE PROCEED.
>> I AM STILL JEFFREY EUSTIS
AND I'M STILL WHERE
REPRESENTING IRENE WALL AND MR.
MARKET WHO ARE THE PETITIONERS.
THE QUESTION THAT IS PRESENTED
TO YOU IS WHETHER YOU ARE GOING
TO ENFORCE YOUR OWN COAT AS IT
IS WRITTEN OR ATTEMPTED TO
FUDGE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE.
THE CODE SECTION IS AT ISSUE IN
THIS CASE.
THE PROVISION THAT SAYS THERE
HAS TO BE A GRADUAL TRANSITION
IN HEIGHT AND SCALE BETWEEN THE
TWO ZONES INVOLVED.
NEIGHBORHOOD, COMMERCIAL AND
SINGLE-FAMILY AND LESS EXCUSE
ME UNLESS THERE IS A MAJOR
PHYSICAL BUFFER.
THE CODE GIVES EXAMPLES AS TO
WHAT CONSTITUTES A MAJOR
PHYSICAL BUFFER.
LAKES, RIVERS, FREEWAYS,
EXPRESSWAYS, RAILROAD TRACKS.
OPEN SPACE THAT IS USED FOR
PARKS AND RECREATION PURPOSES.
NOW, THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU
WOULD HAVE A FIVE FOOT 50 FOOT
HIGH MULTI USE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT
ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE OF A
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE.
FOR TRANSITION WHAT THEY ARE
PROPOSING IS THE SINGLE-FAMILY
PROPERTY BE GROWN IN LAND AND
GRANT THE TRANSITION.
IT IS NOT A MAJOR PHYSICAL
BUFFER AND DOES NOT EXIST
BETWEEN ZONES RATHER IT
REQUIRES THE SINGLE-FAMILY
PROPERTY BUFFER AGAINST THE
MULTI FAMILY PROPERTY.
THE DANGER OF YOU APPROVING
THIS IS WHEN THE NEXT DEVELOPER
COMES ALONG WITH A SIMILAR
PROPOSAL TO ACQUIRE SINGLE-
FAMILY PROPERTY YOU USE THAT AS
A BUFFER YOU WOULD HAVE
ESSENTIALLY ALREADY GRANTED.
ONE APPROVAL SET THE PRECEDENCE
AND YOU WILL BE IN THE POSITION
OF NOT SAYING NO.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THAT WILL CONCLUDE OUR
PUBLIC COMMENTS SECTION.
I SEE A PERSON RAISING THEIR
HAND.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIGN UP.
BEFORE YOU START LET'S GET THE
PAPERWORK IN ORDER.
THERE YOU GO.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU WE HAVE KATIE
KENDALL WHO IS THE NEXT TO
SPEAK.
PLEASE PROCEED.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
I AM HALF EXCUSE ME ON BEHALF
OF THIS CLERK FILE.
THIS WAS REZONED FROM NC TO 40
TO ANSI 255 PRIOR TO ADOPTION.
AS A RESULT THE APPLICANT IS
READY TO CONSTRUCT UP PROJECT
WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
LOCAL RETAILERS AND PROVIDE
HOUSING FUNDS RIGHT NOW.
THE ONLY QUESTION IS THIS
COMPLIANCE WITH 2330 40 92
WHICH MR. USES SAID WAS TO
REQUIRE TRANSITION OF MAJOR
PHYSICAL BUFFERS.
THE COURT THAT REMANDED THIS
SAID THAT THE LOT, THE LARGER
PARCEL THAT YOU ALREADY PUT INTO
FOR PERPETUITY, IF THE OTHER
AREA WAS ALSO PUT INTO
PERPETUITY THAT OPEN SPACE WAS
IN PERPETUITY, THAT WOULD BE
SUFFICIENT AS A MAJOR PHYSICAL
BUFFER.
THAT IS WHAT THE APPLICANT WILL
PROPOSE.
THIS WILL PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT
BUFFER UNDER THE CITY CODE.
WE REQUESTED THAT THE COUNCIL
APPROVE THIS REZONED AND WE
HAVE EXECUTED THIS HERE TODAY.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY.
>> WE HAVE ONE MORE?
>> OKAY.
YOUR NAME IS ON A SIGN-UP SHEET
SO YOU ARE CERTAINLY WELCOME
AND WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS.
>> I AM IRENE WALL.
YOU HAVE SEEN ME HERE A FEW
TIMES.
I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR WHAT
YOU ARE DOING.
IN THE NAME OF MHA.
>> THE START THE CLOCK OVER.
I'M SORRY.
I DID HAVE YOUR NAME ON THIS
SHEET HERE.
IT WAS BOTH SPACES.
>> I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU.
>> LET'S DO A DO OVER.
>> THANK YOU.
>> SOMETIMES I DO NEED THOSE.
WHEN YOU PASSED THE MHA
LEGISLATION EFFECTIVELY WHY
YOU'RE ABLE TO GRANT THIS
PROPERTY WAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
CREATING HOUSING.
WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN THIS
PROPERTY IS CREATING LESS
HOUSING THEN YOU COULD AND
POSSIBLY YOU SHOULD.
HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?
YOU ARE, IN THE NAME OF THIS
RIDICULOUS NOTION OF MAJOR
PHYSICAL BUFFER DISABLING A
SINGLE FAMILY HOME BY CHOPPING
OFF HIS REAR DECK, ACCESS TO
ITS OWN BACKYARD MAKING SURE
WHOEVER LIVES THERE HAS NO
PRIVACY BECAUSE THERE WILL BE
NO FENCING ALLOWED.
YOU ARE MANDATING AN EMPTY
SINGLE-FAMILY LOT BE TURNED
INTO A WATER GUZZLING LAWN.
IN FACT, YOU COULD HAVE THREE
HOUSING UNITS THERE.
ALL YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO IS
OBSERVE YOUR OWN CODE WHICH
REQUIRES A 15 FOOT UPPER-LEVEL
SETBACK.
YOU INCREASE THE UPPER-LEVEL
SETBACK AND YOU NAMED PHINNEY
RIDGE GREENWOOD IN THE S DCI
REPORT RECOMMENDING HOW YOU
CHANGE THAT.
FURTHERMORE, THIS IS NOT A ZONE
WHICH REQUIRES ANY COMMERCIAL
USE AT ALL.
YOU COULD HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL
HOUSING UNITS ON THE GROUND
FLOOR IN THE BACK ABUTTING THE
SINGLE-FAMILY ZONE AND THAT IS
EXACTLY WHAT EVERY OTHER
APARTMENT AND CONDO DWELLER HAS
DONE FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS.
THIS CODE HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR
AT LEAST THAT LONG.
WHY THIS DEVELOPER GETS A FREE
BE PASSED ON MEETING THE CODE,
I DON'T KNOW.
THE JUDGE MADE A VERY CLEAR AND
I WAS THERE THE ENTIRE TIME
THAT THE ANSWER TO THIS
QUESTION IS TO SET THE BUILDING
BACK AT A MINIMUM WHERE IT
ABUTS IN THE DEVELOPED SINGLE-
FAMILY PROPERTY WHERE SOMEONE
WILL LIVE AND EXPECT TO HAVE
SOME PRIVACY AND ACCESS TO
THEIR BACKYARD.
YOU ARE MAKING A TERRIBLE
MISTAKE.
I'M ASKING YOU TO STOP THIS AND
RECONSIDER AND ADD CONDITION SO
YOU DO NOT CREATE A PRECEDENT.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC
COMMENT.
LET'S MOVE TO THE PAYMENT OF
THE BILLS THE SECTION.
PLEASE READ THE TITLE.>> I WILL
MOVE TO BILL EXCUSE ME ANY
COMMENTS.
>> PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE
PASSAGE OF THE BILL.
EIGHT IN FAVOR NOT OPPOSE.
>> THE BILL PASSED.
>> THANK YOU.
>> OKAY.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 1 WE HAVE
HELD.
>> SO WE ARE GOING TO -- WE
MOVED TO ITEMS UP.

FOR CONTRACT REZONING
APPLICATION OF 70th AND
GREENWOOD AVENUE ELWOOD C2
REZONED APPROXIMATE 12,188 SITE
LOCATED AT GREENWOOD AVENUE
NORTH FROM NEIGHBORHOOD
COMMERCIAL WITH A 40 FOOT
HEIGHT LIMIT TO A 55 FOOT
HEIGHT LIMIT AND A MANDATORY
HOUSING ABILITY SUSPECTS.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT
COUNSEL GRANT HAS CONDITIONED
AND REPORT OF CITY COUNCIL AND
ORDINANCE RELATING TO LAND USE
AND ZONING AFFIRMING THE
REZONED APPROVAL THROUGH
ORDINANCE 125640.
THIS WAS INTRODUCED MAY 6,
2019.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
COUNCILMEMBER O'BRIEN?
>> THANK YOU.
>> COLLEAGUES, I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU RECALL LAST FALL WE HAD A
PROCESS WHERE WE WENT THROUGH
THIS AND WE MADE AN APPROVAL OF
THE CONTRACT REZONING THAT WAS
APPEALED TO THE SUPERIOR COURT.
THE SUPERIOR COURT REMANDED IT
FOR -- TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF
THE TRANSITION. THAT CAME TO
THE COMMITTEE ABOUT A MONTH
AGO.
IN THE COMMITTEE WE HAD FIVE
MINUTES OF -- WHAT'S THE RIGHT
WORD DASHED TESTIMONY FROM BOTH
SIDES AND THEN MADE A
RECOMMENDATION.
THAT RECOMMENDATION WAS GIVING
DIRECTION TO THE STAFF ON HOW
TO PROCEED.
THEY REVISED THE BUDDHA AND THE
PROPERTY USE AND DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT AND WE HAVE THOSE NOW
BEFORE US TODAY.
THERE IS THE CLERK FILE WHICH
IS THE FINANCE CONCLUSIONS AND
DECISION.
I WILL TALK TO THAT 1st AND
THEN THE SECOND ITEM IS AN
ORDINANCE WHICH BRINGS IN THE
PDA.
I WILL HIGHLIGHT ON PAGE 3 THE
CLERK FILE, WHAT THE SUPERIOR
COURT DIRECTED US TO DO.
PURSUANT TO RCW 36.76 THAT 140
THE REZONED APPROVAL AND
PROPERTY USE IN DEVELOPING
AGREEMENT ARE REMANDED TO THE
CITY COUNCIL TO ADDRESS
COMPLIANCE WITH SMC 23.34.009.2
WHICH REQUIRES THAT A GRADUAL
TRANSITION IN HEIGHT AND SCALE
AND LEVEL OF ACTIVITY BETWEEN
ZONES BE PROVIDED UNLESS MAJOR
PHYSICAL BUFFERS AS DESCRIBED
ARE PRESENT.
IN THE AREA WHERE THE
COMMERCIAL LOT 2877 SHARES THE
REAR BOUNDARY LINE WITH THE
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOT AT
7010 PALATINE AVENUE NORTH, WE
DISCUSSED A COUPLE OF OPTIONS
IN COMMITTEE AND CHOSE TO SET
ASIDE THE REAR LOT DEFINED AS
THE BUFFER.
IN THE FINDINGS OF FACT FOR
THIS CLERK FILE, I WANT TO READ
THE SECOND ONE IN PARTICULAR.
IT SAYS THE REAR YARD OF THE
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOT
AT 7010 BALLANTINE AVENUE NORTH
CAN BE MODIFIED TO PROVIDE AN
OPEN SPACE THAT COULD BE
INTEGRATED INTO THE LANDSCAPED
OPEN SPACE ON SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL LOT AND THE LOT
NUMBER WHICH I BELIEVE IT IS
IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH AND
THEN WE HAD A CONCLUSION THAT
ON PAGE 4, IT SAYS A LANDSCAPED
OPEN SPACE IN THE REAR YARD OF
THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
LOT PROVIDES A PHYSICAL OPEN
SPACE BUFFER BETWEEN LAND USES
AND ALLOWS FOR GRADUAL
TRANSITION BETWEEN THE HEIGHT
AND SCALE OF THE COMMERCIAL
ZONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE
PROPERTY AND THE SINGLE-FAMILY
ZONE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE
PROPERTY.
I THINK THAT'S ABOUT ALL I HAVE
TO SAY ON THIS IF PEOPLE HAVE
QUESTIONS I'M MORE THAN HAPPY
TO MOVE FORWARD.
I SHOULD SAY THAT WE WILL NEED
TO SUBSTITUTE VERSION 2 DAYS
FOR VERSION 1. MAYBE I WILL
MOVE FOR SUBSTITUTION NOW.
>> LET'S TAKE THE SUBSTITUTION
FIRST.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND FORMALLY
MOVED THE SUBSTITUTIONS. I
GUESS THAT IS THE FORMAL MOTION
IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THIS HAS BEEN MOVED AND
SECONDED.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY
THOSE OPPOSED SAY
BILL IS SUBSTITUTED.
>> DID YOU HAVE ANY MORE WORDS
TO SAY, TRANCE DYING EXCUSE ME
MIKE O'BRIEN.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS MATTER?
>> OKAY.
HERE NOT I WANT TO THANK
EVERYONE FOR TESTIFYING.
I THANK YOU FOR DOING THE
COMMITTEE WORK ON THIS AND
LISTENING TO TESTIMONY IN MORE
THAN ONE ARENA.
WE WILL MOVE TO VOTE.
THOSE IN FAVOR OF GRANTING THE
APPLICATION HAS CONDITIONED ALL
THOSE IN FAVOR SAY

AND THE CHAIR WILL SIGN THE
DECISION OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

MEANS HOLD UP.

EFFORT FOR THE COUNTY AND THE
CITY.
IT IS DESIGNED TO LIMIT THE
NUMBER OF OVERFLOWS IN ORDER TO
REDUCE CONTAMINATED WATER FROM
REACHING PUGET SOUND.
THIS WORK, THE PROJECT IS
REQUIRED UNDER FEDERAL AND
STATE CONSENT DECREE THAT HAS
BEEN PLACED ON THE CITY AND THE
COUNTY.
THE PUBLIC UTILITIES CAME AND
BRIEFED COUNSEL IN COMMITTEE
LAST WEEK AND LET US KNOW THE
GOOD NEWS THAT THEY HAVE
UPDATED THE CONFIDENCE RATING
FROM 65% TO 70% WHICH MEANS THE
PROJECT IS 70% LIKELY TO COST
$570 MILLION OR LESS.
THE CITY SHARE OF THIS PROJECT
IS $393 MILLION.
IT IS ACTUALLY FIVE MAJOR
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN ONE.
THE STORAGE TUNNEL IS THE
LARGEST PART OF THE PROJECT
ESTIMATED AT $218 MILLION.
THE TUNNEL PORTION OF THE
PROJECT IS WHAT THE COUNCIL
PLACED THE PROVISO ONE AND WE
HAVE PLACE THAT ON THE PROJECT
AT THE POINT OF 100% DESIGN.
LIMITING THE NUMBER OF DOLLARS
THAT COULD BE SPENT UNTIL THE
COMPLETION OF THE DESIGN PHASE
HAVING THEM COME BACK TO
COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL AND
LIFTING THE PROVISO BEFORE THEY
START SPENDING FUNDS FOR
CONSTRUCTION.
VOTING IN FAVOR OF THIS NOW

QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ABOUT
ANY NEW BUILDING, THEY GO TO

BOARD HAS THE ABILITY TO LISTEN
AND REQUIRE CHANGES IF
NECESSARY.
OF THE 42 SEAT SUMMERS THAT
DESIGNATED FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY
MEMBERS AND SOME FOR SUBJECT
MATTER EXPERTS AND OTHERS FOR
DEVELOPERS AND BIG BUSINESSES.
THE BOARD NEEDS TO HAVE
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TO BE ABLE
TO ACCURATELY EVALUATE
DEVELOPMENT.
IN THIS CASE, IT SEEMS LIKE ALL
THE NEW APPOINTMENTS AND MANY
OF THE REAPPOINTMENTS ARE
MANAGEMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT
INDUSTRY. I'M CONCERNED THAT
THE SEEDS FOR RESIDENTIAL
REPRESENTATIVES THE PEOPLE WITH
APPOINTMENTS HAVE PROFESSIONAL
TIES. I'M CONCERNED THIS WILL
DEPRIVE THE COMMISSION OF THE
VOICES OF WORKING PEOPLE.

POSITIONS.

INTEREST.
IT IS A CONCERN THAT HAVING ALL
THE NEW APPOINTEES HAVING THOSE
TIES IS TO IMBALANCE.

REBOOT APARTMENT.
