BRIAN, YOU ARE UP, SIR.
>> TAKING TIME YOUR MEETING AT
FIRST OFF I LIKE TO THANK YOU
FOR SEEING ME.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE SOME OF YOU.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED HERE IN
SEATTLE I WAS ON SPEAK OUT
SEATTLE AND A LOT OF YOUR
EVENTS A PLACE TO SET UP AND
TEAR DOWN AND GOT TO SPEND.
BRIAN
>> BRIAN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE
YOUR MICROPHONE IS ON.
>> IS THIS ONE ON?
>> GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE
MICROPHONE.
START HIS TIME OVER.
GO AHEAD BRIAN.
>> WHAT I'M HERE FOR TODAY,
BOOM, IS THAT A GOOD-LOOKING
GUY OR WHAT?
THAT'S ME.
SATURDAY'S EDITION.
WHAT I'M GOING FOR IS TAX I.D.
NUMBER FOR A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION, TAX I.D.
NUMBER 910578229 IS THE COMPASS
HOUSING ALLIANCE AND THEY HAVE
STOLEN FROM ME FROM THE DAY I
WALKED IN, CHARGING ME
FRAUDULENTLY TO STAY IN A
HOMELESS SHELTER.
UNDER CITY CONTRACTS THAT'S
ILLEGAL.
WHAT I KNOW IS I WOULD BE IN
JAIL A FIGHT STARTED $673 FROM
ANYBODY AND THAT'S A FACT DUE
TO MY RECENT LIFE HISTORY, IT
PROVES IT.
WHAT I KNOW IS I CAN'T GET HELP
FROM CITY HALL.
I'VE BEEN IN YOUR OFFICE MRS.
BAGSHAW EVERY DAY I DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG AND BEEN TWO FOR
THREE TIMES A WEEK AND CAN'T
GET NO HELP.
WHAT I KNOW IS COMPASS HOUSING
ALLIANCE HAS STRIPPED ME OF MY
HOUSING.
I'M NOW GETTING DEATH THREATS.
WHAT I HAVE HERE IS A WHOLE
BUNCH OF PAPERWORK STATING THAT
THEY TOOK MY HOUSING VOUCHER
AND NOW NOBODY WANTS TO REPAY
ME.
I WORK HARD.
I DON'T NEED A HAND UP.
I NEED A HAND UP.
WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THIS
NAVIGATION TEAM, IT GOES OUT IN
THE COMMUNITY, WHY WOULD ANY
HOMELESS PERSON WANT TO ACCEPT
ANY KIND OF HELP TO GO INTO A
SHELTER THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY
THAT THEY GET 12 DIFFERENT
INTERPRETATIONS OF THIS POLICY?
IT RESORTS TO ESTABLISH
EVERYONE'S FAVORITE-ISM,
FAVORITISM A MONTH THE STAFF.
RIGHT HERE I SIGNED MY NAME AND
THAT'S ALL I HAVE LEFT TODAY.
SO I HAVE INTEGRITY.
BUT THAT STAFF ALSO SIGNED
RIGHT HERE AND WHEN THEY CHOOSE
NOT TO GO BY THAT, THEY ARE
COMMITTING FRAUD.
THIS NONPROFIT HAS TO GO.
THE WAY THIS SYSTEM IS SET UP
TO WHERE THEY GET ALL THE
MONEY, THAT IS A JOB SECURITY
FOR THEM.
THAT'S HOMELESS PEOPLE WE
AREN'T GETTING HELP.
I NEED HELP GETTING MY MONEY
BACK.
ANYONE WANT TO HELP ME?
WHAT I KNOW IS THAT'S A FACT
AND THAT'S FRAUD.
IF I HAVE TO TAKE THIS ALL THE
WAY TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AND BRING ALL MY INFORMATION
HERE, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
THIS IS THE ONLY GOOD THING I
DO FOR SOCIETY IN ORDER TO GET
THROUGH THE GATES OF HEAVEN,
THAT'S WHAT I WILL DO.
I AM GLAD YOU TOOK TIME OUT OF
YOUR DAY TO LISTEN TO ME.
GOOD TO SEE OUT OF ALL THESE
>> NEXT SPEAKER IS KATHY.
>> JUDY, I BELIEVE THIS
GENTLEMAN WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK
TOO.
>> HELLO, I AM KATHY AND I AM A
RETIRED CHILD CARE PROVIDER AND
VICE PRESIDENT IN MY UNION SCI
925 AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK TO
YOU IN FAVOR OF 2 ITEMS IN
FRONT OF YOU.
THE CHILDCARE CRISIS IN
WASHINGTON IS DRIVEN BY A
SHORTAGE IN THE WORKFORCE.
PROVIDERS FACE POVERTY TOTALLY
ACROSS THIS INDUSTRY.
AND THEY ARE IN POVERTY WAGES.
CHILDCARE PROVIDERS MAKE LESS
THAN PET GROOMERS AND PARKING
LOT ATTENDANTS.
SKYROCKETING SEATTLE RENTS,
LACK OF HEALTHCARE COVERAGE AND
RETIREMENT PLANS, OPPRESSIVE
LICENSING BURDENS, EXPENSIVE
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
REQUIREMENTS ALL CONTRIBUTING
TO DRIVING CHILDCARE PROVIDERS
OUT OF OUR CITY.
PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO DO THIS
WORK IN THIS CITY.
THIS CRISIS HURTS FAMILIES AND
OUR STATE ECONOMY WITH LIMITED
OPTIONS FOR FAMILIES.
OFTEN TIMES THEY MANAGE TO
PATCH TOGETHER FRIENDS AND
FAMILIES AND OFTENTIMES THEY
ARE UNSAFE AND UNLICENSED
PROVIDERS.
OR THEY TAKE TIME OFF FROM
WORK.
FAMILIES ARE TOLD TO GET ON
MULTIPLE WAITING LISTS EVEN
BEFORE THEY GET PREGNANT, THEY
ARE TOLD TO GET ON MULTIPLE
WAITING LISTS.
EVEN THEN THEY FIND IT REALLY
CHALLENGING AND SOMETIMES
IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND APPROPRIATE
CARE.
OUR CITY CAN BE A LEADER IN
EXPANDING ACCESS TO HIGH-
QUALITY CARE.
WE, MY UNION, SUPPORT CAPITAL
FUNDING TO BUILD CHILDCARE
CENTER RIGHT HERE IN OUR CITY
HALL.
AND IN THE FUTURE IN OTHER
PUBLICLY OWNED BUILDINGS.
WE ALSO SUPPORT THE CITY
LEVERAGING ITS POSITION TO
REQUIRE HIGH STANDARDS FOR
CONTRACTORS.
LAST YEAR MY UNION SUPPORTED
THE FAMILIES AND EDUCATION LEVY
BECAUSE WE NEED MORE PROVIDERS,
MORE CHILDCARE IN THE CITY.
THE LEVY INCLUDED LABOR HARMONY
FOR PROVIDERS TAKING THAT
SUBSIDY AND WE THINK OTHER
ENTITIES TAKING CITY MONEY
SHOULD ALSO COMPLY WITH THIS
BASIC STANDARD.
WE SUPPORT DEAL, WORKING WITH
PROVIDERS AND TEACHERS TO
PROVIDE THAT CITY CONTRACTS
INCLUDE LABOR HARMONY MEANING
THAT IF PROVIDERS OR TEACHERS
HAVE PROBLEMS AT WORK THERE IS
A PROCESS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.
THE CITY CAN SET STANDARDS
AROUND --
>> AND YOU START TO WRAP UP,
KATHY?
YOU ARE BEYOND YOUR TIME SO
JUST WRAP UP.
>> CAN I SAY THREE MORE
SENTENCES?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> SINCE 2006 WHEN WE FIRST
FORMED THE UNION WE HAVE RAISED
WAGES BY MORE THAN 30% THROUGH
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE STATE AND
STILL A TON OF WORK TO DO.
OTHER CHILDCARE PROVIDERS AND
TEACHERS WANT TO JOIN US AND
THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO SO
SMOOTHLY.
ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
HAVE A UNION.
USUALLY I TALK FASTER.
>> THANK YOU, KATHY.
ELMER CROSSED JUNIOR, YOU ARE
WELCOME TO COME TO THE
MICROPHONE AND TWO MINUTES.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
MY NAME IS ELMER CROSSED JUNIOR
AND I'M HERE TO ASK FOR
PROTECTION TO HELP BECAUSE I'M
BEING PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY
AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY TERRORIZED
AND ABUSED BY THE WHITE HOUSE
EVERYWHERE I GO.
EVEN IN MY OWN BEDROOM.
I WILL START WITH WHAT THEY ARE
DOING TO ME.
BRIEFLY, THEY ARE DOING
SOMETHING TO MY BRAIN, MY
OPTICAL NERVES IN MY NERVOUS
SYSTEM WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC
SIGNALS THROUGH THE OPTICAL
NERVE --
>> ELMER, WE HAD A LONG TALK
LAST WEEK.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE
TELLING US THIS IS BECAUSE WE
FUND THINGS IN OUR BUDGET AND
YOU WANT TO CONSIDER THIS,
CORRECT?
>> I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO FUND
IT.
I'M HERE JUST TO SPEAK TO THE
CITY COUNCIL IN GENERAL ABOUT
THE TREATMENT I'M GETTING --
>> AND OUR INVESTMENTS IN
MENTAL HEALTH AND SURVEILLANCE
AND THAT KIND OF STUFF, YOU
WANT TO TALK TO US ABOUT OUR
WORK IN THIS AREA, CORRECT?
>> I'M ASKING FOR PROTECTION
FOR HIM THE CITY COUNCIL AND
THE MAYOR TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND
THE WHITE HOUSE CAN NO LONGER
TREAT ME THE WAY I HAVE BEEN
TREATED.
>> SO WE TALKED FOR ABOUT 30
MINUTES LAST WEEK OUTSIDE AND I
SUGGESTED WE WOULD TRY TO HELP
SO GO AHEAD, I AM LISTENING SO
WE CAN TRY TO INVEST IN SOME
HELP.
>> WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS
LOOKING THROUGH MY EYES AND
SPEAKING THROUGH MY VOCAL
CORDS.
LAST NIGHT I HEARD THE VOICE OF
MY BROTHER COME OUT OF MY MOUTH
AND I HEARD THE VOICE OF MY
MOTHER COME OUT OF MY MOUTH AND
THEY DRAIN MY ENERGY 24 HOURS A
DAY.
THEY ARE MANIPULATING AREAS OF
MY BRAIN THAT REVOLVE AROUND
MOTIVATION AND MY SENSE OF
SMELL, SENSE OF TASTE.
THEY ARE MAKING MY FOOD TASTE
LIKE IT IS SPOILED ROTTEN.
THEY ARE MAKING IT SMELL LIKE
DISGUSTING SPELLS.
THEY PUT A DENT IN THE TOP OF
MY SKULL IN LOS ANGELES.
THEY FLATTENED MY SKULL.
EVER SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN GOING
ON.
THEY HAVE BENT MY CONVERTIBLE
COLUMN AND DEVELOP SCOLIOSIS
AND THOUGHT I NEEDED A
CHIROPRACTOR AND SEEING A
CHIROPRACTOR FOR YEARS IN
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
THEY PUT BUNIONS ON MY FEET.
LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS SHAVING
THE CUP MY LIP OPEN.
THERE IS A SCAR ON MY LIP.
I WAS BLEEDING FROM MY LIP, MY
TOP LIP.
THEY CREATED AND CUT THE TOP OF
MY LEFT FOOT AND IT WAS
BLEEDING.
IT'S BECAUSE I WON'T LET THEM
TALK ANYMORE.
THEY INSIST ON TALKING THROUGH
THANKSGIVING AND THROUGH
CHRISTMAS AND SAID IT'S THE
MOST IMPORTANT TIME.
THEY WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW
EVIL AND SADISTIC AND CRUEL BUT
THEY ARE DOING TO ME IS.
THEY INSIST ON TALKING
THANKSGIVING IS OUR HOLIDAY.
THEY SAID THIS COUNTRY IS ONLY
FOR RICH WHITE PEOPLE AND
CONSERVATIVE PEOPLE.
NOT LIBERAL PEOPLE BUT
CONSERVATIVE PEOPLE.
THEY TOLD ME YOU REPRESENT THE
GOVERNMENT OF NEW MEXICO.
THEY REALY DID.
THEY SAID WE WANT EVERYONE IN
NEW MEXICO TO GO BACK.
THEY WANT US TO GO BACK TO
SPAIN AND AFRICA.
THEY ARE CALLING ME A SISSY AND
EXPLETIVES.
>> THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATED
TALKING WITH YOU LAST WEEK AND
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> I WANT TO SAY ONE MORE THING
THAT EVERYONE HAS THE POWER TO
STOP IT.
DONALD TRUMP IS BEING SUED BY
MANY PEOPLE AND THERE ARE MANY
LAWSUITS STOPPING ME FROM
CRYING AND BREAKING DOWN. I AM
PLEADING WITH PEOPLE AND HAVING
AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN AND THEY
ARE CONTROLLING MY LEVELS OF
ANGER AS WELL.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU AND I TRUST YOU
WILL ALL PUT AN END TO THIS.
I HAVE FAITH IN YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR
THOUGHTS.
THAT WILL CONCLUDE, JUST ONE
MOMENT.
AFTER THE PAYMENT OF THE BILLS,
I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT.
PLEASE READ THE PAYMENT OF THE
BILLS.
>> CB 119693 AN ORDINANCE
APPROPRIATING MONEY TO PAY
CERTAIN AUDITED CLAIMS FOR THE
WEEK OF OCTOBER 14, 2019
THROUGH OCTOBER 19, 2019 AND
THE ORDERING OF PAYMENT
THEREOF.
>> I MOVED TO PASS COUNCIL BILL
119693.
IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED
THAT THE BILL IS PASSED.
ANY COMMENTS?
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE
PASSAGE OF THE BILL .
>> [ROLL CALL VOTE]
>> SEVEN IN FAVOR IN NONE
OPPOSED.
THE BILL PASSES.
I BELIEVE THAT CONCLUDES OUR
AGENDA.
I WILL SIGN IT FIRST.
AND JUST ONE MOMENT.
IS THERE ANY FURTHER BUSINESS
THAT COMES BEFORE THE COUNCIL?
THERE IS ONE STATEMENT I WOULD
LIKE TO SAY DURING THE SECTION
IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION

THE NUMBER OF EXCUSED ABSENCES
EDITED CITY COUNCIL MEETING IN
