00:22:00,285 --> 00:22:05,223
INDUSTRY TO BE DOING THAT. THEY

376
00:22:05,290 --> 00:22:09,261
ARE NOT SUSTAINING ANY

377
00:22:09,328 --> 00:22:13,665
REGULATORY BURDEN. LAST NIGHT,

378
00:22:13,732 --> 00:22:18,670
HAD 95 NOTES. THESE CHANGES NEE

379
00:22:18,737 --> 00:22:21,206
TO BE ADDRESSED FOR THIS

380
00:22:21,273 --> 00:22:22,174
LEGISLATION. SOME OF THE MAJOR,

381
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,212
SOME OF THE MINOR. THIS IS MAJO

382
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:30,148
RECIPROCITY BETWEEN CITY AND

383
00:22:30,215 --> 00:22:33,885
COUNTY. THESE ARE MAJOR CHANGES

384
00:22:33,952 --> 00:22:37,956
THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DISCUSSED. W

385
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:38,990
LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY

386
00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:42,894
TO DISCUSS THEM BY EMAIL. YOU

387
00:22:42,961 --> 00:22:47,733
ALL HAVE THEM. I WILL SEND THEM

388
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:51,002

389
00:22:51,069 --> 00:22:55,107
THIS. AT LEAST BEFORE IT BECOME

390
00:22:55,173 --> 00:22:57,008
A BURDEN. IF I MAY, THIS IS JUS

391
00:22:57,075 --> 00:22:59,444
FOR GREEN CABIN 2008.

392
00:22:59,511 --> 00:23:01,546
LEGISLATION FROM ALL HIGH. THIS

393
00:23:01,613 --> 00:23:06,451
IS THE PROACTIVE GOVERNMEN. WE

394
00:23:06,518 --> 00:23:07,386
HAVE RECEIVED A NUMBER OF

395
00:23:07,452 --> 00:23:11,223
TAXICAB OPERATOR FAMILIES. THIS

396
00:23:11,289 --> 00:23:21,032
IS FROM 2009. THIS IS WHAT WAS

397
00:23:21,099 --> 00:23:26,204
TOP-DOWN DRIVEN. THEY ARE

398
00:23:26,271 --> 00:23:26,872
PLAYING THE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

399
00:23:26,938 --> 00:23:28,240
THEY DID NOT HAVE IT NOTARIZED.

400
00:23:28,306 --> 00:23:39,451
I DEFENDED IT.

401
00:23:39,518 --> 00:23:44,790
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. DOES

402
00:23:44,856 --> 00:23:50,762
ANYONE ELSE WANT TO PROVIDE

403
00:23:50,829 --> 00:23:55,333
ANYTHING ELSE?

00:24:20,258 --> 00:24:21,760
PEOPLE? YOU NEED TO ASK THAT

408
00:24:21,827 --> 00:24:25,430
QUESTION. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE

409
00:24:25,497 --> 00:24:26,798
PERSON WHO CAN APPEAL ON THE

410
00:24:26,865 --> 00:24:32,571
TAXI TO TAKE THEIR KIDS TO

411
00:24:32,637 --> 00:24:43,849
SCHOOL? THIS IS BIG MONEY GOIN

412
00:24:43,915 --> 00:24:45,584
RIGHT HERE. WHATEVER YOU CALL

413
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:49,754
IT, IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR

414
00:24:49,821 --> 00:24:52,958
OUR COMMUNITY. THOSE CHANGES,

00:24:53,024 --> 00:24:59,931

LOOKING AT NEW TECHNOLOGIES.

417
00:25:00,832 --> 00:25:02,334
THIS IS THE WAY IT GOES. IT

418
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,638
DOESN'T WORK FOR US.

419
00:25:06,705 --> 00:25:12,244
ACCOUNTABILITY WILL BE HERE TO

420
00:25:12,310 --> 00:25:16,047

00:25:16,114 --> 00:25:17,282
DISPATCH IS GOING TO DO WHATEVE

422
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:23,121
THEY WANTED TO CONFIDE WHATEVER

423
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:28,460
THEY WANT.

424
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,395
>> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE FOR

00:25:30,462 --> 00:25:33,064

HAVE BETTER ALIGNMENT WITH THE

456
00:26:47,806 --> 00:26:53,845

TO ENSURE THAT THIS WORK IS

PRE-INTRODUCTION CHANGES ON THE

485
00:28:06,084 --> 00:28:09,054

REFLECTIVE IN THE SUBSTITUTE

THE EXISTING CODE. WE ARE

521
00:29:38,443 --> 00:29:43,748
LOOKING AT NEW STATE

522
00:29:43,815 --> 00:29:48,419
REGULATIONS. WE ARE LOOKING AT

523
00:29:48,486 --> 00:29:51,990
FOR HIGHER VEHICLES. WE HAVE

524
00:29:52,056 --> 00:29:54,526
ESTABLISHED A NEW CODE. THIS IS

525
00:29:54,592 --> 00:29:59,964

TAXICAB INDUSTRIES. I'M GOING T

530
00:30:10,341 --> 00:30:13,878
PRESENT THIS TODAY. THIS IS THE

531
00:30:13,945 --> 00:30:27,525
THIRD AND FINAL BILL. THEY ARE

00:30:35,533 --> 00:30:36,701
AMENDMENT I'M GOING TO SHARE ON

535
00:30:36,768 --> 00:30:39,537

536
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:46,277
PROPOSAL. THIS IS SPONSORED BY

AGENCIES. THEY ARE PAID BY

543
00:31:09,801 --> 00:31:12,237
PASSENGERS. THE INTRODUCED BILL

544
00:31:12,303 --> 00:31:14,072
REFLECTS A PRE-INTRODUCTION

545
00:31:14,138 --> 00:31:16,841
CHANGE THAT WOULD CAP THE

546
00:31:16,908 --> 00:31:17,709
INTRODUCTIONS THAT REGIONAL

547
00:31:17,775 --> 00:31:23,548

INTENTION OF THAT IS ADDED IN

00:31:45,603 --> 00:31:46,638

00:31:50,875 --> 00:32:04,289
IS ALL A 10%. THEY ARE LOOKING

556
00:32:04,355 --> 00:32:05,290
AT COMPANIES TO DEVELOP INTERNA

557
00:32:05,356 --> 00:32:11,896
POLICIES FOR OWNERS. THEY ARE

558
00:32:11,963 --> 00:32:17,235
GOING TO REQUIRE THESE INTERNAL

559
00:32:17,302 --> 00:32:20,371
POLICIES. WE ARE LOOKING AT A

560
00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:24,809
DIFFERENT RENEWAL PERIOD. THEY

WOULD NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN A

562
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:28,146
DEACTIVATION POLICY. THESE

563
00:32:28,212 --> 00:32:29,347
AMENDMENTS WOULD REMOVE THE DUE

564
00:32:29,414 --> 00:32:32,016
DATE FOR ANY REQUIREMENT TO

SUBMISSION FOR POLICIES BY RULE

568
00:32:39,424 --> 00:32:44,095
THIS IS THE SECOND PIECE. THIS

569
00:32:44,162 --> 00:32:48,166
IS THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE

570
00:32:48,232 --> 00:32:49,267
DEACTIVATION POLICY. IT IS THE

571
00:32:49,334 --> 00:32:50,268
REMOVAL OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO B

572
00:32:50,335 --> 00:32:51,869
HEARD WITH REPRESENTATION OF TH

573
00:32:51,936 --> 00:32:54,872
DRIVERS TWICE. THEY WILL HAVE

00:32:54,939 --> 00:33:00,778
DIFFERENT DISPUTES. THEY HAVE

575
00:33:00,845 --> 00:33:03,715
THIRD-PARTY STANDARDS. WE ARE

576
00:33:03,781 --> 00:33:04,882
LOOKING AT THE OPPORTUNITIES TO

577
00:33:04,949 --> 00:33:05,750
BE HEARD. WE HAVE SEVERAL

578
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:06,818
COMPONENTS THAT WOULD BE

579
00:33:06,884 --> 00:33:11,356
REMOVED. THIS IS A REMINDER. WE

580
00:33:11,422 --> 00:33:12,724
WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THIS POLIC

581
00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:15,727
IN THE CONTEXT OF THE

582
00:33:15,793 --> 00:33:16,394
INSPECTION. THEY WOULD NOT BE

583
00:33:16,461 --> 00:33:21,599
FORCING IMPLEMENTATION OF IT.

584
00:33:21,666 --> 00:33:22,633
THAT IS WHAT THIS AMENDMENT

585
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:29,574
SEEKS TO ACCOMPLISH.

586
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,143
>> WOULD YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON

587
00:33:32,210 --> 00:33:35,680
THE UNDERLYING LEGISLATIONS? DO

588
00:33:35,747 --> 00:33:37,115
YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF

589
00:33:37,181 --> 00:33:45,957
US? THESE GO AHEAD.

590
00:33:46,024 --> 00:33:47,458
>> WHAT IS THE CURRENT CHARGE

591
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:52,864
THAT IS BEING CHARGED BY

592
00:33:52,930 --> 00:33:56,567
DISPATCH AGENCIES?

593
00:33:56,634 --> 00:33:59,704
>> THAT IS WHAT THE CHARGES ARE

594
00:33:59,771 --> 00:34:05,777
FROM ANOTHER DISPATCH AGENCY AS

595
00:34:05,843 --> 00:34:12,116
WELL. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT

596
00:34:12,183 --> 00:34:13,051
IS A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF

597
00:34:13,117 --> 00:34:20,391
THE LAND WE HAVE NOW. I'M

598
00:34:20,458 --> 00:34:26,664
TRYING TO WORK WITH COUNTY AND

599
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:28,800
STAFF. THEY ARE TRYING TO

600
00:34:28,866 --> 00:34:33,671
IMPACT THIS REQUIREMENT. MAYBE

601
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:34,806
THEY COULD BUILD UPON THIS

602
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:35,606
RECITAL. THAT COULD BE REFLECTE

603
00:34:35,673 --> 00:34:40,845
IN THESE COUNTY DELIBERATIONS.

604
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:44,816
THEY ARE REVIEWING THIS AGAIN I

605
00:34:44,882 --> 00:34:45,083
DECEMBER.

606
00:34:45,149 --> 00:34:46,184
>> WHAT OF THESE COMPANIES ARE

607
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:51,022
CHARGING MORE THAN 10%?

608
00:34:51,089 --> 00:34:56,661
>> THAT WOULD NEED TO BE

609
00:34:56,727 --> 00:35:07,638
CONSIDERED. THEY ARE GOING TO

610
00:35:07,705 --> 00:35:14,812
ENTERTAINMENT. HAVE A HIGHER

611
00:35:14,879 --> 00:35:22,653
CHARGE. THE CURRENT CAP IS

612
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:23,454
LOWER THAN WHAT SOME COMPANIES

613
00:35:23,521 --> 00:35:27,258
ARE DOING NOW. THEY ARE

614
00:35:27,325 --> 00:35:37,635
CONSIDERING THE IMPACTS. THIS

615
00:35:37,702 --> 00:35:38,769
IS ALL REGARDING THOSE DIFFEREN

616
00:35:38,836 --> 00:35:44,175
KINDS OF DEDUCTIONS THAT ARE

617
00:35:44,242 --> 00:35:44,742
HAPPENING.

618
00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:46,244
>> WE ARE CAPPING AT LESS THAN

619
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:47,612
WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING NOW. ARE

620
00:35:47,678 --> 00:35:48,513
THEY AT RISK FOR THAT?

621
00:35:48,579 --> 00:35:49,647
>> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD

622
00:35:49,714 --> 00:35:50,882
NEED TO BE EXPLORED. THEY HAVE

623
00:35:50,948 --> 00:35:55,286
DIFFERENT IMPLICATIONS OF THAT.

624
00:35:55,353 --> 00:35:58,589
THEY CAN BE ONGOING.

625
00:35:58,656 --> 00:36:03,594

>> WE HAVE DIFFERENT PIECES OF

881
00:49:56,426 --> 00:49:57,561

HAPPENED FOR THE TRANSIT BASED

883
00:50:03,300 --> 00:50:09,306

885
00:50:10,974 --> 00:50:16,513

IMPACT ON THE ABILITY OF PEOPLE

WHO DEPEND ON TRANSIT. THEY

893
00:50:37,667 --> 00:50:38,635
WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE SYSTEM

894
00:50:38,702 --> 00:50:44,274

LOOKING AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT

938

OF LICENSING REQUIREMENTS. THEY

939
00:52:48,665 --> 00:52:49,432
ARE LOOKING AT OTHER

940
00:52:49,499 --> 00:52:50,967
REQUIREMENTS FROM STATE LAW. IT

941
00:52:51,034 --> 00:52:52,536
IS VERY DETAILED IN THE

942
00:52:52,602 --> 00:52:53,336
AMENDMENT. THEY HAVE MORE

943
00:52:53,403 --> 00:53:02,045
REGULATIONS IF THE DIRECTOR

944
00:53:02,112 --> 00:53:02,345

INTERRUPTING. THE COMMITTEE JUS

00:54:14,818 --> 00:54:18,321

AMENDMENT TO MEET THE SUBSTITUT

981
00:54:19,456 --> 00:54:19,756

>> YES. JUST A SECOND

993
00:54:44,981 --> 00:54:46,549
PRELIMINARY FIGHT WHERE WE ARE

00:54:46,616 --> 00:54:51,821
AT. 12065 3. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER

995
00:54:51,888 --> 00:54:53,223
TWO. WE HAVE BEEN SUBSTITUTED.

996
00:54:53,290 --> 00:54:57,227
WE AMENDED IT. WE JUST VOTED ON

997
00:54:57,294 --> 00:54:58,828
THE AMENDMENT. WE ARE VOTING ON

998
00:54:58,895 --> 00:55:00,163
THE SUBSTITUTE AS AMENDED. HE

999
00:55:00,230 --> 00:55:03,233
WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SOME NOTIONS

1000
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:05,435
ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO?

1001
00:55:05,502 --> 00:55:09,472
>> I HAVE A QUESTION. IS THIS

1002
00:55:09,539 --> 00:55:10,640
THE PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT

1003
00:55:10,707 --> 00:55:20,383
CONCERNS THE MEDALLIONS?

1004
00:55:20,450 --> 00:55:22,752
>> THEY EVEN HAVE THE

1005
00:55:22,819 --> 00:55:26,423
RECIPROCITY ENDORSEMENTS FOR

1006
00:55:26,489 --> 00:55:31,861
MEDALLIONS. THERE NEEDS TO BE

1007
00:55:31,928 --> 00:55:32,662
TWO MEDALLIONS. THIS IS MY

1008
00:55:32,729 --> 00:55:33,797
QUESTION. WHAT HAPPENS IF PEOPL

1009
00:55:33,863 --> 00:55:37,400
ALREADY HAVE TWO? IS THAT A LOS

1010
00:55:37,467 --> 00:55:41,771
INVESTMENT? WHAT HAPPENS?

1011
00:55:41,838 --> 00:55:45,375
>> THIS WILL LIKELY HAVE AN

1012
00:55:45,442 --> 00:55:46,343
IMPACT ON DRIVER INVESTMENTS,

1013
00:55:46,409 --> 00:55:49,579
AND THE SECOND MEDALLION. THE

1014
00:55:49,646 --> 00:55:53,683
DRIVER COULD POTENTIALLY SELL

1015
00:55:53,750 --> 00:55:59,823
THE MENDELIAN FOR IT. THEY ARE

1016
00:55:59,889 --> 00:56:00,924
TRYING TO SPLIT THE MENDELIAN.

1017
00:56:00,990 --> 00:56:01,825
THEY ARE USING A SECOND VEHICLE

1018
00:56:01,891 --> 00:56:02,859
SOMEONE COULD PAY FOR IT. THE

1019
00:56:02,926 --> 00:56:06,196
DRIVER COULD PAY THE OWNER OF

1020
00:56:06,262 --> 00:56:11,134
THE MEDALLION TO DRIVE THE

1021
00:56:11,201 --> 00:56:11,935
VEHICLE. THOSE ARE POTENTIAL

1022
00:56:12,001 --> 00:56:18,007
WAYS TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF

1023
00:56:18,074 --> 00:56:19,042
THAT SYSTEM. THIS IS LIKELY TO

1024
00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:23,113
HAVE AN IMPACT ON DRIVERS. THE

1025
00:56:23,179 --> 00:56:26,249
INTENT IS FOR MORE STREAMLINED,

1026
00:56:26,316 --> 00:56:27,317
EFFICIENT WAYS. WE ARE ALLOWING

1027
00:56:27,384 --> 00:56:29,252
DRIVERS TO OPERATE IN SEATTLE

1028
00:56:29,319 --> 00:56:33,390
AND KING COUNTY. THIS WOULD

1029
00:56:33,456 --> 00:56:37,327
BENEFIT A NEW ENTRANCE TO THE

1030
00:56:37,394 --> 00:56:38,795
MARKET. IT COULD IMPACT THOSE

1031
00:56:38,862 --> 00:56:43,066
THAT ARE ALREADY IN IT.

1032
00:56:43,133 --> 00:56:44,134
>> FOLLOW-UP QUESTION. HOW MUCH

1033
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:50,974
DO THE MEDALLIONS COST? HAVE

1034
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,308
YOU LOOKED AT THE IMPACTS OF

1035
00:56:52,375 --> 00:56:54,110
STREAMLINING INTO ONE? DO YOU

1036
00:56:54,177 --> 00:57:00,083
KNOW HOW MUCH THEY COST?

1037
00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:01,418
>> WE DON'T SELL MEDALLIONS.

1038
00:57:01,484 --> 00:57:02,886
MOTHER THE CITY OR THE COUNTY

1039
00:57:02,952 --> 00:57:05,989
SALES MEDALLIONS. THEY ARE NEW

1040
00:57:06,055 --> 00:57:06,990
ONES ISSUED. THIS IS DONE

1041
00:57:07,056 --> 00:57:08,258
THROUGH A LOTTERY PROCESS

1042
00:57:08,324 --> 00:57:10,593
USUALLY. THE SALES TAKE PLACE.

1043
00:57:10,660 --> 00:57:11,494
THIS IS A SECONDARY MARKET

1044
00:57:11,561 --> 00:57:17,534
BETWEEN PRIVATE SELLERS. WE MAK

1045
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,369
IT OPTIONAL TO DISCLOSE THE

1046
00:57:19,436 --> 00:57:20,904
SALES PRICE. I BELIEVE WE ARE

1047
00:57:20,970 --> 00:57:26,176
RIGHT NOW PROBABLY AROUND

1048
00:57:26,242 --> 00:57:31,548
$20,000. THIS IS FOR HIM

1049
00:57:31,614 --> 00:57:40,924
MENDELIAN. WE HAVE BEEN VERY

1050
00:57:40,990 --> 00:57:41,891
SENSITIVE TO THE ISSUES OF DUAL

1051
00:57:41,958 --> 00:57:44,527
MENDELIAN PURPLE NURSE. IT IS

1052
00:57:44,594 --> 00:57:50,066
ABOUT THE INVESTMENTS THEY HAVE

1053
00:57:50,133 --> 00:57:51,134
MADE. THIS LEGISLATION IS

1054
00:57:51,201 --> 00:57:53,570
REFLECTING OPTIONS FOR DUAL

1055
00:57:53,636 --> 00:57:54,838
MENDELIAN OWNERS. THIS IS A NEW

1056
00:57:54,904 --> 00:57:57,874
MEDALLION ARRANGEMENT. IT IS AL

1057
00:57:57,941 --> 00:57:59,309
ADOPTED. WE HAVE OPTIONS FOR

1058
00:57:59,375 --> 00:58:04,280
OTHER OWNERS. UP UNTIL NOW, IF

1059
00:58:04,347 --> 00:58:05,515
YOU HAVE A DUAL MENDELIAN, YOU

1060
00:58:05,582 --> 00:58:06,950
ARE NOT ABLE TO SPLIT THAT. ONC

1061
00:58:07,016 --> 00:58:10,386
YOU HAVE JOINED A CITY AND

1062
00:58:10,453 --> 00:58:11,488
COUNTY, IT IS BASICALLY TREATED

1063
00:58:11,554 --> 00:58:15,325
AS ONE MEDALLION. THIS IS WHAT

1064
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,027
THIS LEGISLATION WILL DO. THEY

1065
00:58:18,094 --> 00:58:24,234
ALLOW A MEDALLION OWNER TO SPLI

1066
00:58:24,300 --> 00:58:28,204
IT. WITH THOSE TWO, THEY ARE

1067
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,074
TRYING TO SELL ONE OF THEM. THA

1068
00:58:31,140 --> 00:58:34,444
COULD BE A WAY TO RECOUP ANOTHE

1069
00:58:34,511 --> 00:58:38,181
INVESTMENT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY

1070
00:58:38,248 --> 00:58:41,317
MADE. THEY ARE KEEPING IT. THEY

1071
00:58:41,384 --> 00:58:44,654
OPERATE, AS THEY DO NOW. THEY

1072
00:58:44,721 --> 00:58:46,222
MAY ALSO CHOOSE TO SPLIT THE

1073
00:58:46,289 --> 00:58:47,257
MENDELIAN, AND PUT A SECOND

1074
00:58:47,323 --> 00:58:49,859
VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. THEY TAKE

1075
00:58:49,926 --> 00:58:51,327
ADVANTAGE OF THE RECIPROCITY

1076
00:58:51,394 --> 00:58:53,563
ENDORSEMENTS THAT WE ARE

1077
00:58:53,630 --> 00:58:55,999
PROPOSING. WE THINK THERE ARE

1078
00:58:56,065 --> 00:58:56,799
SOME OPTIONS. NOTHING IS

1079
00:58:56,866 --> 00:59:00,737
MANDATORY WITH REGARDS TO WHAT

1080
00:59:00,803 --> 00:59:04,507
DUAL MENDELIAN OWNER MAY DO.

1081
00:59:04,574 --> 00:59:06,843
THERE ARE SOME OPTIONS NOW

1082
00:59:06,910 --> 00:59:12,582
AVAILABLE. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE

1083
00:59:12,649 --> 00:59:16,519
NOT.

1084
00:59:16,586 --> 00:59:22,458
>> THIS IS FOR THIS TO WORK. WE

1085
00:59:22,525 --> 00:59:23,359
HAVE DELICATE DANCES BETWEEN TH

1086
00:59:23,426 --> 00:59:26,763
TWO JURISDICTIONS. THEY NEED TO

1087
00:59:26,829 --> 00:59:27,830
CONTINUE. THE LANGUAGE NEEDS TO

1088
00:59:27,897 --> 00:59:31,067
REALLY BE THE SAME. THIS IS IN

1089
00:59:31,134 --> 00:59:34,337
REGARDS TO MEDALLIONS. THIS IS

1090
00:59:34,404 --> 00:59:34,871
THE RECIPROCITY SYSTEM

1091
00:59:34,938 --> 00:59:40,543
ENDORSEMENT THAT WILL WORK. THI

1092
00:59:40,610 --> 00:59:40,843
WILL WORK.

1093
00:59:40,910 --> 00:59:46,049
>> OKAY. GREAT QUESTIONS. ANY

1094
00:59:46,115 --> 00:59:47,150
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I'M NOT

1095
00:59:47,216 --> 00:59:50,086
SEEING ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

1096
00:59:50,153 --> 00:59:51,254
THANK YOU FOR THAT. JUST TO

1097
00:59:51,321 --> 00:59:53,690
CONFIRM WHERE WE ARE AT IN THE

1098
00:59:53,756 --> 00:59:55,024
PROCESS, ITEM NUMBER TWO ON THE

1099
00:59:55,091 --> 00:59:55,959
AGENDA HAS BEEN SUBSTITUTED AND

1100
00:59:56,025 --> 01:00:00,396
AMENDED. WE WILL CONSIDER A

1101
01:00:00,463 --> 01:00:01,197
FINAL VOTE. PLEASE MAKE SOME

1102
01:00:01,264 --> 01:00:03,633
COMMENTS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

1103
01:00:03,700 --> 01:00:07,503
>> I WOULD. THANK YOU SO MUCH

1104
01:00:07,570 --> 01:00:11,908
FOR THE COMMENTS ON THE FINAL

1105
01:00:11,975 --> 01:00:13,109
PASSAGE. I HAVE BEEN CONSIDERIN

1106
01:00:13,176 --> 01:00:14,477
THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAVE HAD

1107
01:00:14,544 --> 01:00:18,448
FROM INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS.

1108
01:00:18,514 --> 01:00:19,983
SOME OF THE FOLKS HAVE CONCERNS

1109
01:00:20,049 --> 01:00:26,189
WITH THE LEGISLATIONS. THEY

1110
01:00:26,255 --> 01:00:27,357
HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE LEGISLATION

1111
01:00:27,423 --> 01:00:30,927
THEY KNOW WHETHER IT IS MORE

1112
01:00:30,994 --> 01:00:31,928
CHALLENGING FOR THE TAXICABS TO

1113
01:00:31,995 --> 01:00:33,930
COMPETE WITH LARGER COMPANIES.

1114
01:00:33,997 --> 01:00:36,633
THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE

1115
01:00:36,699 --> 01:00:39,002
BILL. IT ACTUALLY EASES SEVERAL

1116
01:00:39,068 --> 01:00:39,869
REGULATIONS THAT ARE ACTUALLY

1117
01:00:39,936 --> 01:00:41,738
MORE STRICT ON TAXICABS, RATHER

1118
01:00:41,804 --> 01:00:46,943
THAN RIDE SHARE DRIVERS. WE ARE

1119
01:00:47,010 --> 01:00:51,314
REDUCING THE DRIVER AGE MINIMUM

1120
01:00:51,381 --> 01:00:54,150
ON THE OTHER HAND, WE HAVE

1121
01:00:54,217 --> 01:01:00,423
FOUGHT FOR. THEY PROTECT RIGHTS

1122
01:01:00,490 --> 01:01:06,529
FOR DRIVERS. WE ARE LOOKING AT

1123
01:01:06,596 --> 01:01:10,066
TAXI DRIVERS. I THINK THEY HAVE

1124
01:01:10,133 --> 01:01:18,007
OTHER ISSUES. THEY ARE WORTHY O

1125
01:01:18,074 --> 01:01:19,108
OTHER FEATURES. WE HAVE

1126
01:01:19,175 --> 01:01:19,742
DIFFERENT DISPARITIES BETWEEN

1127
01:01:19,809 --> 01:01:23,913
STATE REGULATIONS OF ATHLETES.

1128
01:01:23,980 --> 01:01:25,148
WE HAVE OTHER CITY AND COUNTY

1129
01:01:25,214 --> 01:01:31,187
REGULATIONS ON TAXICABS. THIS

1130
01:01:31,254 --> 01:01:38,695
IS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN MAIMED.

1131
01:01:38,828 --> 01:01:42,231
>> THEY HAVE SUPPORTING

1132
01:01:42,298 --> 01:01:43,099
DOCUMENTS LEGISLATIONS. THE CIT

1133
01:01:43,166 --> 01:01:49,205
DOESN'T HAVE CONTROL OVER MOST

1134
01:01:49,272 --> 01:01:56,345
FACTORS. THIS COULD POTENTIALL

1135
01:01:56,412 --> 01:01:58,247
MEAN LOWER INSURANCE PREMIUMS T

1136
01:01:58,314 --> 01:02:01,651
THESE DRIVERS. I REALLY

1137
01:02:01,718 --> 01:02:04,821
APPRECIATE THE RECIPROCITY

1138
01:02:04,887 --> 01:02:10,326
ENDORSEMENTS SYSTEM. WE ARE

1139
01:02:10,393 --> 01:02:17,600
EXTREMELY EXCITED TO LOOK AT

1140
01:02:17,667 --> 01:02:18,267
THE STREAMLINING FEES. DRIVERS

1141
01:02:18,334 --> 01:02:19,569
WILL HAVE TO SPEND LESS MONEY O

1142
01:02:19,635 --> 01:02:20,236
MAINTAINING THEIR REQUIREMENTS

1143
01:02:20,303 --> 01:02:21,137
TO OPERATE THEIR BUSINESS. WE

1144
01:02:21,204 --> 01:02:25,875
APPRECIATE HOW THIS LEGISLATION

1145
01:02:25,942 --> 01:02:26,943
IS WORKING TO SUPPORT THE

1146
01:02:27,009 --> 01:02:34,250
INDUSTRY OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

1147
01:02:34,317 --> 01:02:35,151
WE ARE RECOGNIZING THAT THERE

1148
01:02:35,218 --> 01:02:38,721
ARE SOME ISSUES THAT FOLKS HAVE

1149
01:02:38,788 --> 01:02:39,989
IDENTIFIED ALL OF THAT IN THE

1150
01:02:40,056 --> 01:02:41,257
FUTURE. IT MIGHT BE ADDRESSED

1151
01:02:41,324 --> 01:02:44,127
WITH MORE TIME. WE ARE RUNNING

1152
01:02:44,193 --> 01:02:46,028
OUT AGAINST THE QUANTITIES

1153
01:02:46,095 --> 01:02:51,100
DEADLINE, AND LIVING SCHEDULES.

1154
01:02:51,167 --> 01:02:54,804
I JUST WANTED TO STAY FOR THE

1155
01:02:54,871 --> 01:02:55,872
RECORD, THE ISSUES ARE LEADING

1156
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:58,174

THE COUNCIL IS APPROVING THE

1206
01:05:16,512 --> 01:05:17,113
CITIES LEGISLATION. THIS IS

1207
01:05:17,179 --> 01:05:18,281
BEFORE THEY COMPLETE THE

1208
01:05:18,347 --> 01:05:19,148
DELIBERATIONS. THEY WOULD NEED

1209
01:05:19,215 --> 01:05:20,583
TO INTRODUCE NEW LEGISLATIONS T

1210
01:05:20,650 --> 01:05:34,897

CASE, WE WOULD DO WHAT YOU JUST

HAVE TO REINTRODUCE NEW

1217
01:05:45,508 --> 01:05:46,309
LEGISLATIONS, AND CONSIDER NEW

1218
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:47,310
AMENDMENTS THAT THE COUNTY HAS

1219
01:05:47,376 --> 01:05:48,744
PASSED. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE IN

1220
01:05:48,811 --> 01:05:49,979
FRONT OF US. WE HAVE THREE

1221
01:05:50,046 --> 01:05:51,113
PIECES OF LEGISLATION THAT WE

1222
01:05:51,180 --> 01:05:52,148
ARE PASSING OUT OF THE

1223
01:05:52,214 --> 01:05:55,418
COMMITTEE. WE WILL HEAR THOSE

1224
01:05:55,484 --> 01:05:56,285
FOUR COUNCILS. WE HAVE

1225
01:05:56,352 --> 01:05:57,453
AMENDMENTS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE

1226
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:02,925
AS A CITY COUNCIL. WE ARE ALONE

1227
01:06:02,992 --> 01:06:04,260
IN THIS. WE NEED TO PASS THOSE

1228
01:06:04,327 --> 01:06:05,628
AT FULL COUNSEL, SO THAT WE ARE

1229
01:06:05,695 --> 01:06:06,696
IN ALIGNMENT. WE HAVE THE

1230
01:06:06,762 --> 01:06:08,230
CENTRAL STAFF MEMO. THE FIRST

1231
01:06:08,297 --> 01:06:11,734
ONE IS WHAT WE ARE GOING WITH.

1232
01:06:11,801 --> 01:06:14,870
THIS IS HOLDING FINAL PASSAGE T

1233
01:06:14,937 --> 01:06:16,706
CONFIRM THAT WE ARE IN

1234
01:06:16,772 --> 01:06:19,308
ALIGNMENT. WE WILL DO ANY

1235
01:06:19,375 --> 01:06:20,409
ADJUSTMENTS NECESSARY, PRIOR TO

1236
01:06:20,476 --> 01:06:22,378
THE FINAL PASSAGE AT FULL

01:06:25,348 --> 01:06:25,481
THAT?

1239
01:06:25,548 --> 01:06:27,516
>> THAT IS THE CORRECT SUMMARY.

1240
01:06:27,583 --> 01:06:32,321
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT?

1241
01:06:32,388 --> 01:06:36,359
>> THIS IS THE FIRST OPTION. IF

1242
01:06:36,425 --> 01:06:40,262
WE TAKE IT, WE HAVE INTRODUCED

1243
01:06:40,329 --> 01:06:41,230
NEW LEGISLATION. TRYING TO

1244
01:06:41,297 --> 01:06:44,500
FIGURE OUT IF THAT IS LIKELY OR

1245
01:06:44,567 --> 01:06:48,004
NOT. THEY ARE REFERRING TO 653,

1246
01:06:48,070 --> 01:06:51,240
NOT 654. I WAS LOOKING AT THAT

1247
01:06:51,307 --> 01:06:53,042
TIMING ISSUE. DOES THAT APPLY T

1248
01:06:53,109 --> 01:06:55,644
THE LOCAL NEEDS? THAT WAS MY

1249
01:06:55,711 --> 01:06:55,945
QUESTION.

1250
01:06:56,012 --> 01:07:01,684
>> I UNDERSTAND.

1251
01:07:01,751 --> 01:07:04,720
>> I THINK THEY ARE LOOKING AT

1252
01:07:04,787 --> 01:07:08,257
THE FOR HIRE ACTION. THIS IS AL

1253
01:07:08,324 --> 01:07:12,428
ABOUT THE VEHICLE ROAD

1254
01:07:12,495 --> 01:07:13,295
LEGISLATIONS. IN MY DISCUSSIONS

1255
01:07:13,362 --> 01:07:15,097
WITH COUNTY STAFF, WE HAVE

1256
01:07:15,164 --> 01:07:17,266
DIFFERENT COUNTERPARTS. THEY AR

1257
01:07:17,333 --> 01:07:19,268
IDENTIFYING TECHNICAL EDITS.

1258
01:07:19,335 --> 01:07:23,139
THEY MAY CONSIDER IT. COUNTY

1259
01:07:23,205 --> 01:07:24,140
COUNSEL, MAY CONSIDER IT FOR AL

1260
01:07:24,206 --> 01:07:25,541
THREE OF THE BILLS. IF ANY OF

1261
01:07:25,608 --> 01:07:29,578
THOSE TECHNICAL EDITS ARE

1262
01:07:29,645 --> 01:07:30,479
SUCCESSIVE, THE CITY COUNCIL

1263
01:07:30,546 --> 01:07:34,083
SHOULD CONSIDER ADOPTING THEM.

1264
01:07:34,150 --> 01:07:35,684
THIS IS EVEN IF THEY ARE PURELY

1265
01:07:35,751 --> 01:07:36,619
TECHNICAL. IT COULD HELP THE

1266
01:07:36,685 --> 01:07:37,753
PUBLIC, AND HELP READERS TO HAV

1267
01:07:37,820 --> 01:07:41,257
ALL OF THE LANGUAGE BE ALIVE. I

1268
01:07:41,323 --> 01:07:42,258
ALL NEEDS TO BE ALIGNED.

1269
01:07:42,324 --> 01:07:44,760
>> THINK YOU MUCH. FOR THE

1270
01:07:44,827 --> 01:07:48,230

1271
01:07:48,297 --> 01:07:52,168
THAT WAS CONTINGENT UPON THE

1272
01:07:52,234 --> 01:07:53,369
COUNTIES PROCESS. I WILL BE

NELSON. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS?

1277
01:08:03,112 --> 01:08:06,282
OKAY. JUST TRYING TO DOUBLE

1278
01:08:06,348 --> 01:08:08,717
CHECK. IT WAS A TECHNICAL

1279
01:08:08,784 --> 01:08:13,756
PERSPECTIVE ON ALIGNMENT.

1280
01:08:13,823 --> 01:08:17,927
>> WE ARE WORKING WITH THE

1281
01:08:17,993 --> 01:08:19,095

TODAY. THAT IS ON ME. THESE

1289
01:08:42,952 --> 01:08:46,021
PARTNERS WERE IN THE ROOM. I

1290
01:08:46,088 --> 01:08:47,790
WANT TO LOOK AT THE DRIVERS

1291
01:08:47,857 --> 01:08:48,891

>> GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. THIS

1480
01:19:13,448 --> 01:19:14,249
IS MY TITLE. HOMEOWNERSHIP

1481
01:19:14,316 --> 01:19:16,284
DIVISIONS ARE RIGHT HERE. I'M

1482
01:19:16,351 --> 01:19:19,020
GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MOR

1483
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:19,921
DETAIL ON THE DIFFERENT PIECES

1484
01:19:19,988 --> 01:19:25,861
OF LEGISLATION IN FRONT OF YOU

1485
01:19:25,927 --> 01:19:44,079
TODAY. WE HAVE SEVEN SITES IN

1486
01:19:44,146 --> 01:19:47,415
THE RAINIER VALLEY, ALONG THE

1487
01:19:47,482 --> 01:19:49,017
LIGHT RAIL CORRIDOR. THIS IS A

1488
01:19:49,084 --> 01:19:50,085
LONG MLK. WE HAVE THREE

1489
01:19:50,152 --> 01:19:55,323
DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONAL

1490
01:19:55,390 --> 01:20:03,565
EXPERIENCES. WE HAVE MORE

1491
01:20:03,632 --> 01:20:05,667
BACKGROUNDS ON THE AFFINITY

1492
01:20:05,734 --> 01:20:07,202
PROPERTIES. THIS IS WHAT WE

1493
01:20:07,269 --> 01:20:07,969
REFERENCED EARLIER. THIS

1494
01:20:08,036 --> 01:20:14,242
PROPERTY WAS ALREADY DECLARED

1495
01:20:14,309 --> 01:20:16,211
ACCESS. THE OFFICE OF HOUSING

1496
01:20:16,278 --> 01:20:19,948
WENT THROUGH A REQUEST FOR

1497
01:20:20,015 --> 01:20:21,149
PROPOSAL PROCESSES. WE REWARDED

1498
01:20:21,216 --> 01:20:22,484
THIS PROPERTY TO HOMESTEAD AND

1499
01:20:22,551 --> 01:20:26,421
THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST. WE

1500
01:20:26,488 --> 01:20:30,926
DON'T TYPICALLY TRANSFER

1501
01:20:30,992 --> 01:20:32,194
PROPERTIES. WE ARE LOOKING AT

1502
01:20:32,260 --> 01:20:33,161
THESE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS. WE

1503
01:20:33,228 --> 01:20:33,929
HAVE ALL OF THE HOUSING

1504
01:20:33,995 --> 01:20:35,363
DEVELOPMENT AVAILABLE WITH

1505
01:20:35,430 --> 01:20:38,834
TITLES IN HAND. THAT IS THE WOR

1506
01:20:38,900 --> 01:20:45,774
THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING. THE

1508
01:20:46,842 --> 01:20:48,543

WEBSITE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

1510
01:20:55,016 --> 01:20:58,820
THEY ARE ACCOMMODATING ALL OF

1511
01:20:58,887 --> 01:21:04,526
THESE HOMES. THEY WILL BE

1512
01:21:04,593 --> 01:21:05,360
PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE. THIS IS

1513
01:21:05,427 --> 01:21:11,533
AT OR BELOW 80%. WE HAVE

1514
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:15,937
ONGOING RESTRICTIONS. THEY ARE

1515
01:21:16,004 --> 01:21:16,671
CREATING THESE PRESALES. THEY

1516
01:21:16,738 --> 01:21:19,741
ARE ALLOWING HOUSEHOLD TO TAKE

1517
01:21:19,808 --> 01:21:21,176
PLACE IN A REASONABLE RIGHT OF

1518
01:21:21,243 --> 01:21:23,178
RETURN INVESTMENTS. THEY ARE

1519
01:21:23,245 --> 01:21:25,080
PRICING THE NEXT HOUSEHOLD. THE

1520
01:21:25,146 --> 01:21:29,451

1521
01:21:29,517 --> 01:21:30,585
HAVE A NO-COST TRANSFER FOR THE

1522
01:21:30,652 --> 01:21:32,787
OFFICE OF HOUSING. THIS IS JUST

1523
01:21:32,854 --> 01:21:38,593
OVER $2 MILLION. WE ARE LOOKING

1524
01:21:38,660 --> 01:21:47,435

HOMES. EIGHT, TWO BEDROOM HOMES

1528
01:21:53,975 --> 01:22:00,315
WE ARE EXCITED. WE ARE MOVING

1529
01:22:00,382 --> 01:22:12,994
ON BEFORE IT. WE HAVE SEEN THI

1530
01:22:13,061 --> 01:22:22,304
BEFORE. WE HAVE 10 PROPERTIES.

1531
01:22:22,370 --> 01:22:28,476
WE ARE OPPOSING JURISDICTIONS.

1532
01:22:28,543 --> 01:22:34,115
THIS IS FOR SEVEN OF THOSE

1533
01:22:34,182 --> 01:22:40,121
WEBSITES. WE ARE TRYING TO DO

1534
01:22:40,188 --> 01:22:43,959
THAT SINCE NEXT SPRING. WE HAVE

1535
01:22:44,025 --> 01:23:03,111
THE AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERS. WE

1536
01:23:03,178 --> 01:23:03,912
ARE LOOKING AT THE

1537
01:23:03,979 --> 01:23:04,646
ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY FOR

1538
01:23:04,713 --> 01:23:05,981
THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO ENGAGE I

1539
01:23:06,047 --> 01:23:09,317
THE DEVELOPMENT AND STEWARDSHIP

1540
01:23:09,384 --> 01:23:15,523

AFRICAN COMMUNITY AND HOUSING

1542
01:23:17,158 --> 01:23:17,726
DEVELOPS. THIS IS THE

1543
01:23:17,792 --> 01:23:19,461
PARTNERSHIP THEY HAVE

1544
01:23:19,527 --> 01:23:24,866
ESTABLISHED WITH HABITAT FOR

1545
01:23:24,933 --> 01:23:26,434
HUMANITY. THEY ARE TURNING IT

1546
01:23:26,501 --> 01:23:28,336
INTO THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

1547
01:23:28,403 --> 01:23:37,245
THIS IS THE RESULT OF YEARS OF

1548
01:23:37,312 --> 01:23:39,914
SOUND TRANSIT. WE ARE JUST

1549
01:23:39,981 --> 01:23:44,753
THRILLED TO BE AT THIS PLACE IN

1550
01:23:44,819 --> 01:24:17,085
THE PROCESS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

1551
01:24:17,152 --> 01:24:19,054
I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A

1552
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:20,188
POINT. THE COMMUNITY PREFERENCE

1553
01:24:20,255 --> 01:24:20,855
IS RIGHT HERE. THESE POLICIES

1554
01:24:20,922 --> 01:24:25,994

1555
01:24:26,061 --> 01:24:27,629

1557
01:24:33,368 --> 01:24:33,968
SIGNIFICANT PARTNERSHIPS. THIS

1558
01:24:34,035 --> 01:24:38,473
WILL BE RELOCATED IN THESE RANG

1559
01:24:38,540 --> 01:24:39,574
NEIGHBORHOODS. WE ARE REALLY

1560
01:24:39,641 --> 01:24:42,210
EXCITED ABOUT THAT PART AS WELL

1561
01:24:42,277 --> 01:24:59,994
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. THEY'RE

1562
01:25:00,061 --> 01:25:05,733
TRYING TO BRING THIS PROJECT TO

01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:19,714
FRUITION. THEY ARE READY TO GO

1564
01:25:19,781 --> 01:25:22,684

01:25:22,750 --> 01:25:28,756
NEXT SLIDE IS A TABLE OF THE

1566
01:25:28,823 --> 01:25:30,758
VARIOUS SITES AND RECIPIENTS

1567
01:25:30,825 --> 01:25:37,599
FOR THE MEGAPROJECTS. OVER 60

1568
01:25:37,665 --> 01:25:39,634
OF THE HOMES HAVE MORE THAN TWO

1569
01:25:39,701 --> 01:25:40,835
BEDROOMS. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE

1570
01:25:40,902 --> 01:25:46,941
DIVERSITY OF HOUSING SITES.

1571
01:25:47,008 --> 01:25:53,615
THIS IS ALL IN SUMMARY. WE ARE

1572
01:25:53,681 --> 01:25:58,653
TRYING TO GET TO THIS POINT. WE

1573
01:25:58,720 --> 01:25:59,654
ARE OPEN FOR THIS LEGISLATION.

1574
01:25:59,721 --> 01:26:01,222
WE ARE TRYING TO ANSWER THESE

1575
01:26:01,289 --> 01:26:01,556
QUESTIONS.

1576
01:26:01,623 --> 01:26:05,093

ABOUT THE TWO PIECES OF

1579
01:26:07,228 --> 01:26:09,631
LEGISLATION, AND THE OUTLINES?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE

1584
01:26:28,416 --> 01:26:29,817

1585
01:26:29,884 --> 01:26:30,919
HOMESTEAD COMMUNITY IS ALREADY

1586
01:26:30,985 --> 01:26:35,089

>> WE ARE TRYING TO SHARE THE

1591
01:26:48,069 --> 01:26:53,841
SAME ADDRESS. IT IS A LITTLE BI

1592
01:26:53,908 --> 01:27:00,215
CONFUSING.

1593
01:27:00,281 --> 01:27:01,482

1594
01:27:01,549 --> 01:27:27,408

THIS IS PART OF THE ECONOMIC

01:28:34,842 --> 01:28:41,916
DEVELOPMENT. THEY ARE INTENDED

1604
01:28:41,983 --> 01:28:46,721
TO INCLUDE COMMERCIAL SPACE.

1605
01:28:46,788 --> 01:28:47,689
THEY ARE CONTEMPLATING DOING

1606
01:28:47,755 --> 01:28:52,026
MORE OF THIS. THIS IS THE

1607
01:28:52,093 --> 01:28:53,294
PROPERTY OF MY DISTRICT. THEY

1608
01:28:53,361 --> 01:28:54,395
HAVE BEEN VERY INTERESTED IN

1609
01:28:54,462 --> 01:28:59,367
REPLICATING A SIMILAR MODEL.

1610
01:28:59,434 --> 01:29:02,570
THEY HAVE ANOTHER FOLLOW-UP

1611
01:29:02,637 --> 01:29:02,870

COMPARED TO THE RAINIER VALLEY

1624
01:29:46,180 --> 01:29:51,085
SITES. THIS IS BACK IN 2019.

1625
01:29:51,152 --> 01:29:55,356
THIS IS PART OF THE VALLEY

1626
01:29:55,423 --> 01:29:56,224
SITES. THEY WERE APPROVING THE

1627
01:29:56,290 --> 01:30:01,996
TRANSFERS BACK IN SPRING OF

1628
01:30:02,063 --> 01:30:14,909
2022. ANOTHER AWARD HAS BEEN

1629
01:30:14,976 --> 01:30:19,514
MADE. THIS LEGISLATION BROUGHT

1630
01:30:19,580 --> 01:30:20,948
THE COUNSEL TO THESE DIFFERENT

1631
01:30:21,015 --> 01:30:21,649
GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS. THIS IS ALL

1632
01:30:21,716 --> 01:30:26,053
ABOUT RAINIER VALLEY.

1633
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:30,758

1634
01:30:30,825 --> 01:30:33,594
QUESTION, GREAT QUESTION. THIS

1635
01:30:33,661 --> 01:30:41,269
IS THE TIMELINE. THIS WAS ALL

1636
01:30:41,335 --> 01:30:45,773
ELONGATED. WE ARE TRYING TO

1637
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:47,008
HAPPEN WITH THIS. WE HAVE BEEN

1638
01:30:47,074 --> 01:30:47,909
WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF

1639
01:30:47,975 --> 01:30:49,110
ECOLOGY ON HOW TO MOVE FORWARD

1640
01:30:49,177 --> 01:30:52,713
BY THAT. AT THE TIME, WE HAVE

1641
01:30:52,780 --> 01:30:58,453
DESIGN REVIEWS. THAT IS NO

1642
01:30:58,519 --> 01:31:13,167
LONGER NECESSARY. THIS IS PART

1643
01:31:13,234 --> 01:31:19,273
OF MY DISTRICT. I JUST WANTED A

1644
01:31:19,340 --> 01:31:20,141
LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON

1645
01:31:20,208 --> 01:31:24,245
THIS. I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THESE

1646
01:31:24,312 --> 01:31:25,680
TWO BILLS. THIS IS PART OF THE

1647
01:31:25,746 --> 01:31:30,751
HOUSING. THIS IS WHAT THEY

1648
01:31:30,818 --> 01:31:31,986
REALLY KNOW. WE ARE LOOKING AT

1649
01:31:32,053 --> 01:31:33,521
THE SEATTLE CITY LIGHT

1650
01:31:33,588 --> 01:31:35,056
SUBSTATIONS. THEY HAVE A LONG

01:31:35,122 --> 01:31:40,962
AND STORIED HISTORY. WE HAVE TH

1652
01:31:41,028 --> 01:31:42,029
COMMUNITY EFFORTS. WE ARE TRYIN

PROPERTIES FOR AFFORDABLE

1655
01:31:44,465 --> 01:31:46,267
HOUSING. THIS IS WAY BACK IN

1656
01:31:46,334 --> 01:31:48,936
2015. THIS IS BEFORE I WAS A

1657
01:31:49,003 --> 01:31:50,137
COUNCILMEMBER. WE HAD A

1658
01:31:50,204 --> 01:31:52,206
STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT

1659
01:31:52,273 --> 01:31:59,113

01:31:59,180 --> 01:32:00,815
TRYING TO ANALYZE IT. WE ARE

1734
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:51,479
DIFFERENT GROUPS. I JUST WANTED

PROCESS. I UNDERSTAND ANOTHER

1742

FIRST PIECE OF LEGISLATION. IT

1743
01:36:19,940 --> 01:36:21,142
WAS THE LAND TRUST MODEL. THAT

1744
01:36:21,208 --> 01:36:22,943
IS HOW THAT WORKS. IT WAS THE

1745
01:36:23,010 --> 01:36:25,146
SECOND PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

1746
01:36:25,212 --> 01:36:26,347
COULD YOU EXPLAIN IT? IS THAT

GOING TO OWN THE UNDERLYING

1749
01:36:33,988 --> 01:36:37,992

1750
01:36:38,058 --> 01:36:40,861
IS IT JUST ANOTHER COVENANT THA

1751
01:36:40,928 --> 01:36:47,067

01:49:57,691 --> 01:49:58,358
CITYWIDE COUNCILMEMBERS THAT

2024
01:49:58,425 --> 01:50:04,764
ARE UP FOR ELECTION. THIS IS

2025
01:50:04,831 --> 01:50:06,099
FROM 2029. THIS IS EVERY FOUR

2026
01:50:06,166 --> 01:50:13,773
YEARS AFTERWARDS AS WELL. THIS

2027
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:14,941
IS PART OF THE SEATS EIGHT AND

2028
01:50:15,008 --> 01:50:21,348
NINE AS WELL. THIS IS FOR

2029
01:50:21,414 --> 01:50:23,216
EXAMPLE. THEY WOULD HAVE ALL

2030
01:50:23,283 --> 01:50:26,286
OF THESE DISTRICTS UP FOR

2031
01:50:26,353 --> 01:50:29,389
ELECTION. EVERY FOUR YEARS

2032
01:50:29,456 --> 01:50:31,424
AFTER THAT. THAT IS THE EXTENT

2033
01:50:31,491 --> 01:50:34,427
OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT.

2034
01:50:34,494 --> 01:50:35,362
THEY'RE TRYING TO PLACE ALL OF

2035
01:50:35,428 --> 01:50:37,197
THESE ON THE BALLOT.

2036
01:50:37,263 --> 01:50:40,700
>> DO YOU HAVE THE UPDATED

2037
01:50:40,767 --> 01:50:41,668
TABLE? ARE WE TRYING TO DISPLAY

2038
01:50:41,735 --> 01:50:47,407
THIS AS WELL?

2039
01:50:47,474 --> 01:50:48,508
>> WE WERE PULLING OUT OF. I

2040
01:50:48,575 --> 01:50:50,610
WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. I HEARD

2041
01:50:50,677 --> 01:50:51,978
FROM THREE MEMBERS OF THE

2042
01:50:52,045 --> 01:50:52,912
COMMUNITY LAST TIME, THAT WE

2043
01:50:52,979 --> 01:50:55,815
HAVE TWO AT-LARGE POSITIONS.

2044
01:50:55,882 --> 01:51:00,687
THIS IS PART OF THE SAME

2045
01:51:00,754 --> 01:51:01,821
ELECTION CYCLE. THEY ARE

2046
01:51:01,888 --> 01:51:14,901
STAGGERING THE OTHER SEATS.

2047
01:51:14,968 --> 01:51:16,269
THEY ARE GOING TO ZOOM IN JUST

2048
01:51:16,336 --> 01:51:33,787
A LITTLE BIT MORE. THEY ARE

2049
01:51:33,853 --> 01:51:38,324
ADJUSTING THE CYCLE.

2050
01:51:38,391 --> 01:51:41,461
>> WE ARE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT

2051
01:51:41,528 --> 01:51:42,796
ELECTION CYCLES. THIS IS FROM A

2052
01:51:42,862 --> 01:51:46,933
FOUR YEAR TERM. THEY DON'T HAVE

2053
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:51,071
ANY IMPACTS TO THE DISTRICT

2054
01:51:51,137 --> 01:51:52,272
TERMS. WE HAVE THREE SEATS THAT

2055
01:51:52,338 --> 01:51:54,941
WOULD EXPERIENCE A SHORT GAP.

2056
01:51:55,008 --> 01:51:55,608
THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT

2057
01:51:55,675 --> 01:51:56,309
TRANSITION PERIOD THAT WILL

2058
01:51:56,376 --> 01:51:58,411
ALIGN WITH THE DESIRED

2059
01:51:58,478 --> 01:52:02,649
TIMEFRAME AFTER THE GAP IN THAT

2060
01:52:02,716 --> 01:52:05,218
YEAR. THIS IS THE TRANSITION

2061
01:52:05,285 --> 01:52:07,620
TERM. THANK YOU FOR THE

2062
01:52:07,687 --> 01:52:09,055
FEEDBACK. THIS IS FROM THE LAST

2063
01:52:09,122 --> 01:52:10,356
COMMUNITY MEETING THAT WE HAD.

2064
01:52:10,423 --> 01:52:15,829
PLEASE GO AHEAD.

2065
01:52:15,895 --> 01:52:17,897
>> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU

2066
01:52:17,964 --> 01:52:20,300
HEARING MY COMMENTS ABOUT

2067
01:52:20,366 --> 01:52:34,280
MOVING THE CITYWIDE ACTIONS. I

2068
01:52:34,347 --> 01:52:35,715
APPRECIATE YOU TRYING. THIS IS

2069
01:52:35,782 --> 01:52:36,549
THE FUNDAMENTAL PART OF MY

2070
01:52:36,616 --> 01:52:42,021
RESERVATION ABOUT THIS WHOLE

2071
01:52:42,088 --> 01:52:45,158
THING. WE ARE LOOKING AT

2072
01:52:45,225 --> 01:52:54,234
DIFFERENT DISTRICTS NOW. THIS

2073
01:52:54,300 --> 01:52:56,870
IS WHAT WE WERE USING. THIS WAS

2074
01:52:56,936 --> 01:53:02,075
THE LAST MEETING. WHAT IS THE

2075
01:53:02,142 --> 01:53:05,745
PROBLEM THAT WE ARE TRYING TO

2076
01:53:05,812 --> 01:53:11,151
FIX? WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK AT

2077
01:53:11,217 --> 01:53:11,785
DIFFERENT CONSTITUENTS. THEY

2078
01:53:11,851 --> 01:53:15,989
HAVE THE YEARS THAT YOU VOTE.

2079
01:53:16,055 --> 01:53:21,861
THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE DISTRICT

2080
01:53:21,928 --> 01:53:27,233
IN GENERAL. WE ARE WORKING

2081
01:53:27,300 --> 01:53:31,871
FROM THESE CONSTITUENTS. THAT

2082
01:53:31,938 --> 01:53:33,206
IS WHY I KEEP TRYING TO DRILL

2083
01:53:33,273 --> 01:53:36,543
DOWN ON WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE.

2084
01:53:36,609 --> 01:53:37,977
IS WITHOUT INSULTING IT. THEY

2085
01:53:38,044 --> 01:53:43,483
HAVE DIFFERENT FRAMERS. THEY

2086
01:53:43,550 --> 01:53:46,586
ARE TRYING TO CHANGE IT. I DID

2087
01:53:46,653 --> 01:53:47,620
READ THE LETTER FROM EUGENE

2088
01:53:47,687 --> 01:53:52,025
INTO THE RECORD LAST TIME. WE

2089
01:53:52,091 --> 01:53:53,226
ARE JUST TRYING TO REFER PEOPLE

2090
01:53:53,293 --> 01:53:59,199
WHO ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW.

2091
01:53:59,265 --> 01:54:00,767
THEY'RE TRYING TO LOOK AT THE

2092
01:54:00,834 --> 01:54:06,406
DIFFERENT CHARTER. WE WROTE

2093
01:54:06,472 --> 01:54:12,045
THOSE AMENDMENTS. IT HAS BEEN

2094
01:54:12,111 --> 01:54:12,812
VERY SUCCESSFUL. WE HAVE A

2095
01:54:12,879 --> 01:54:14,180
DIVERSE GROUP OF CITY

2096
01:54:14,247 --> 01:54:14,781
COUNCILMEMBERS. THE CURRENT

2097
01:54:14,848 --> 01:54:18,151
SYSTEM HAS BEEN CONTROVERSY

2098
01:54:18,218 --> 01:54:18,885
FREE. THE DISTRICT AND

2099
01:54:18,952 --> 01:54:22,355
COMMITTEES ARE HELPING THE

2100
01:54:22,422 --> 01:54:23,389
DIFFERENT MEETINGS. THEY ARE

2101
01:54:23,456 --> 01:54:24,390
TRYING TO CHANGE WHEN ALL OF

2102
01:54:24,457 --> 01:54:29,896
THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE

2103
01:54:29,963 --> 01:54:41,274
ELECTED. WAS THE DIFFERENT

2104
01:54:41,341 --> 01:54:42,709
TURNOVER. MEDIA IS PICKING UP

2105
01:54:42,775 --> 01:54:46,546
ON THIS CYCLE. THEY ARE TRYING

2106
01:54:46,613 --> 01:55:01,361
TO LEAVE THEIR SEATS. THEIR

2107
01:55:01,427 --> 01:55:09,269
WINNING RE-ELECTIONS. THIS IS

2108
01:55:09,335 --> 01:55:16,576
WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO. THEY

2109
01:55:16,643 --> 01:55:26,185
ARE TRYING TO DISCUSS IT TWICE.

2110
01:55:26,519 --> 01:55:29,055
>> GREAT. WE HAVE ADDITIONAL

2111
01:55:29,122 --> 01:55:33,092
COMMENTS? PLEASE GO AHEAD.

2112
01:55:33,159 --> 01:55:34,661
>> I WANT TO SAY FOR THE

2113
01:55:34,727 --> 01:55:36,863
RECORD, WE HAVE ADDRESSED

2114
01:55:36,930 --> 01:55:41,734
CONCERNS THAT I HAVE ABOUT THIS

2115
01:55:41,801 --> 01:55:42,635
MEASURE. THE COUNCIL HAS THE

2116
01:55:42,702 --> 01:55:47,073
AUTHORITY TO PUT THESE ITEMS ON

2117
01:55:47,140 --> 01:55:48,341
THE BALLOT. WE ARE CHARTERING

2118
01:55:48,408 --> 01:55:55,014
AMENDMENTS ON THE BALLOT. WE

2119
01:55:55,081 --> 01:55:56,816
ARE TRYING TO LOOK AT THIS

2120
01:55:56,883 --> 01:55:57,784
DIFFERENT ITEM. THEY HAVE

2121
01:55:57,850 --> 01:56:01,554
PASSED IT ALL BACK IN 10 YEARS

2122
01:56:01,621 --> 01:56:02,789
AGO. THIS IS BACK SINCE 2013.

2123
01:56:02,855 --> 01:56:11,664
IT WAS UNREASONABLE. THEY WILL

2124
01:56:11,731 --> 01:56:25,945
BE UP TO A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.

2125
01:56:26,012 --> 01:56:27,780
THEY'RE TRYING TO AS THE

2126
01:56:27,847 --> 01:56:29,115
VOTERS TO CONSIDER IT. THANK

2127
01:56:29,182 --> 01:56:29,315
YOU.

2128
01:56:29,382 --> 01:56:41,494
>> ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS?

2129
01:56:41,561 --> 01:56:42,195
>> EXCUSE ME.

2130
01:56:42,261 --> 01:56:46,199
>> I SEE YOU NOW. PLEASE GO

2131
01:56:46,265 --> 01:56:46,466

PRESENTED TODAY. THANK YOU, FOR

2136
01:56:59,479 --> 01:57:00,747
MAKING THAT CLEAR. IT IS ABOUT

2137
01:57:00,813 --> 01:57:04,684
THE MATERIALS THAT YOU SHARE.

2138
01:57:04,751 --> 01:57:05,651
WE ARE ANSWERING SOME OF THE

2139
01:57:05,718 --> 01:57:09,422
CONCERNS THAT I HAVE HEARD FROM

2140
01:57:09,489 --> 01:57:10,490
STAKEHOLDERS. WE ARE LOOKING AT

2141
01:57:10,556 --> 01:57:14,160

01:57:14,227 --> 01:57:15,828

WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE

2148
01:57:37,784 --> 01:57:41,487
ORIGINAL INITIATIVE. I,

2149
01:57:41,554 --> 01:57:44,190
MYSELF, WAS ACTUALLY INVOLVED

2150
01:57:44,257 --> 01:57:49,529
10 YEARS AGO. AND I DO WANT TO

2151
01:57:49,595 --> 01:57:50,263
MAKE SOME SPACE AND ALLOWANCE

2188
01:59:30,730 --> 01:59:32,965

2190
01:59:33,799 --> 01:59:34,800

POWER. I UNDERSTAND THAT

2200
01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:58,024
VOTERS CAN CHANGE THINGS. IF

2201
01:59:58,090 --> 01:59:59,125

02:00:02,195 --> 02:00:03,596
STILL REMAINING, THE FRAMERS

2205
02:00:03,663 --> 02:00:06,832
OF SEATTLE DISTRICTS NOW, IF

2206
02:00:06,899 --> 02:00:09,202
THEY DID CONTEMPLATE

2207
02:00:09,268 --> 02:00:12,872
STAGGERING THE DISTRICTS SO

2208
02:00:12,939 --> 02:00:14,173
THAT SOME WOULD BE ON THE

2209
02:00:14,240 --> 02:00:15,608
BALLOT, CITYWIDE. AS I

2210
02:00:15,675 --> 02:00:17,310
MENTIONED LAST TIME, IN MY

2211
02:00:17,376 --> 02:00:18,811
COMMENTS, WHEN THE CITYWIDE'S

2212
02:00:18,878 --> 02:00:20,346
ARE ALTOGETHER, USUALLY THE

2213
02:00:20,413 --> 02:00:21,714
QUESTIONS WE GET FROM THE

2214
02:00:21,781 --> 02:00:25,151
ADVOCACY GROUPS , REPORTERS, IT

2215
02:00:25,218 --> 02:00:26,586
HAS TO DO WITH CITYWIDE

2216
02:00:26,652 --> 02:00:29,555
POLICIES . THAT IS THE ISSUE ,

2217
02:00:29,622 --> 02:00:31,057
YOU KNOW, PUTTING BOTH DISTRICT

2218
02:00:31,123 --> 02:00:36,596
AND CITYWIDE ON THE BALLOT

2219
02:00:36,662 --> 02:00:37,930
DOES CHANGE THE NATURE OF THE

2220
02:00:37,997 --> 02:00:38,998
DISCUSSION DURING THAT YEAR. IF

2221
02:00:39,065 --> 02:00:40,833
WE ARE GOING TO BE CHANGING, TO

2222
02:00:40,900 --> 02:00:43,836
WHOEVER IS STILL IN THIS

2223
02:00:43,903 --> 02:00:49,976
CONVERSATION , BUT ALSO

2224
02:00:50,042 --> 02:00:55,181
COUNCILMEMBER , TOO.

2225
02:00:55,248 --> 02:00:57,483
>> ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? I

2226
02:00:57,550 --> 02:01:01,587
WILL AGAIN JUST THANK THE

2227
02:01:01,654 --> 02:01:03,222
COALITION OF FOLKS WE HAVE BEEN

2228
02:01:03,289 --> 02:01:06,492
CHATTING WITH. ANDREW HAS DONE

2229
02:01:06,559 --> 02:01:10,863
SOME ADVOCACY AROUND THE

2230
02:01:10,930 --> 02:01:12,999
CONCEPT, AT THE STATE LEVEL,

2231
02:01:13,065 --> 02:01:16,736
THEY HAVE SOME GREAT COVERAGE

2232
02:01:16,802 --> 02:01:18,204
OF THIS INITIALLY, GIVEN THAT

2233
02:01:18,271 --> 02:01:24,110
THIS IS WORKING WITH THE

2234
02:01:24,176 --> 02:01:25,578
STATE PARTNERS ON THE CONCEPT

2235
02:01:25,645 --> 02:01:31,150
OF GREATER COMMUNITY AND CIVIC

2236
02:01:31,217 --> 02:01:32,918
ENGAGEMENT, BEING A CONCEPT

2237
02:01:32,985 --> 02:01:34,253
THAT SUPPORTS THAT. SO, WE LOOK

2238
02:01:34,320 --> 02:01:37,857
FORWARD TO HEARING MORE, AS

2239
02:01:37,923 --> 02:01:40,326
COUNCILMEMBER ANDREW LEWIS

2240
02:01:40,393 --> 02:01:44,163
NOTED . EXCUSE ME,

2241
02:01:44,230 --> 02:01:46,532
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, DO YOU

2242
02:01:46,599 --> 02:01:51,937
HAVE SOMETHING ELSE?

2243
02:01:52,004 --> 02:01:57,109
>> I RECOGNIZE THAT MOVING

2244
02:01:57,176 --> 02:01:58,244
OUR ELECTIONS TO EVEN YEARS IS

2245
02:01:58,311 --> 02:01:59,979
NO LONGER PART OF THE BALLOT

2246
02:02:00,046 --> 02:02:04,283
TITLE. BUT ON THE POINT OF

2247
02:02:04,350 --> 02:02:05,251
DISCUSSION, IF ALL ELECTIONS

2248
02:02:05,318 --> 02:02:06,652
ARE ON THE BALLOT AT THE SAME

2249
02:02:06,719 --> 02:02:08,387
TIME, THAT DOES INCREASE

2250
02:02:08,454 --> 02:02:08,888
POTENTIAL TURNOVER AND

2251
02:02:08,954 --> 02:02:11,123
DISRUPTION. THAT IS WHY,

2252
02:02:11,190 --> 02:02:15,294
KEEPING THEM AS ODD YEARS IS

2253
02:02:15,361 --> 02:02:16,395
BENEFICIAL, IF WE ARE LOOKING

2254
02:02:16,462 --> 02:02:21,133
AT TURMOIL. THANKS.

2255
02:02:21,200 --> 02:02:22,735
>> THERE IS MORE CONVERSATION

2256
02:02:22,802 --> 02:02:24,036
TO BE HAD AROUND THAT. I WANT

2257
02:02:24,103 --> 02:02:24,670
TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE

2258
02:02:24,737 --> 02:02:25,805
DISCUSSIONS ARE ROOTED IN DATA

2259
02:02:25,871 --> 02:02:28,741
AND CONVERSATIONS WITH FOLKS

2260
02:02:28,808 --> 02:02:30,209
ABOUT HOW TO ENSURE STABILITY

2261
02:02:30,276 --> 02:02:33,479
FOR THE CITY , AND GREATER

2262
02:02:33,546 --> 02:02:35,481
STABILITY FOR THE CITY IS ALSO

2263
02:02:35,548 --> 02:02:41,620
GOOD FOR OUR DEMOCRACY. SO, I

2264
02:02:41,687 --> 02:02:43,089
AM LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE

2265
02:02:43,155 --> 02:02:44,023
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE PROS AND

2266
02:02:44,090 --> 02:02:47,159
CONS ABOUT THAT CONCEPT. FOR

2267
02:02:47,226 --> 02:02:48,494
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION, WE

2268
02:02:48,561 --> 02:02:50,062
WILL FOCUS ON STAGGERED

2269
02:02:50,129 --> 02:02:51,864
ELECTIONS, ONE THAT ALLOWS FOR

2270
02:02:51,931 --> 02:02:55,735
FOUR SEATS TO BE UP IN ONE

2271
02:02:55,801 --> 02:02:57,536
YEAR AND FIVE SEATS IN ANOTHER

2272
02:02:57,603 --> 02:02:59,372
YEAR. JUST FOR THE PURPOSES OF

2273
02:02:59,438 --> 02:03:00,539
CITY COUNCIL AND CITY HALL, I

2274
02:03:00,606 --> 02:03:02,408
THINK THAT IS A REALLY POSITIVE

2275
02:03:02,475 --> 02:03:04,477
THING FOR THE STABILITY OF

2276
02:03:04,543 --> 02:03:06,545
DELIVERY OF SERVICES,

2277
02:03:06,612 --> 02:03:07,446
CONTINUITY, FOR RESIDENTS OF

2278
02:03:07,513 --> 02:03:10,616
THE CITY. COUNCILMEMBER

2279
02:03:10,683 --> 02:03:16,489
NELSON , I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE

2280
02:03:16,555 --> 02:03:17,590
YOUR HAND. BECAUSE I WILL BE

2281
02:03:17,656 --> 02:03:18,357
CLOSING COMMENTS HERE.

2282
02:03:18,424 --> 02:03:23,095
>> THANKS. IF YOU MOVE TO

2283
02:03:23,162 --> 02:03:24,530
DISTRICTS, WHEN ALL FOUR ARE ON

2284
02:03:24,597 --> 02:03:26,465
THE CITYWIDE BALLOTS, IT IS

2285
02:03:26,532 --> 02:03:28,934
EIGHT.

2286
02:03:29,001 --> 02:03:31,637
>> DO WE NEED TO SHOW THE CHART

2287
02:03:31,704 --> 02:03:31,871
AGAIN?

2288
02:03:31,937 --> 02:03:36,041
>> WHAT ?

2289
02:03:36,108 --> 02:03:38,077
>> I THINK WE NEED TO SHOW THE

2290
02:03:38,144 --> 02:03:39,678
CHART AGAIN, LISH WHITSON, ONE

2291
02:03:39,745 --> 02:03:42,348
MORE TIME. TO SHOW THE

2292
02:03:42,415 --> 02:03:46,318
STAGGERED PROPOSAL THAT IS IN

2293
02:03:46,385 --> 02:03:47,820
FRONT OF US. AND, AS YOU CAN

2294
02:03:47,887 --> 02:03:48,721
SEE, THERE ARE TWO AT-LARGE

2295
02:03:48,788 --> 02:03:51,957
POSITIONS THAT ARE UP. EIGHT

2296
02:03:52,024 --> 02:03:54,660
AND NINE. I THINK THERE MAY BE

2297
02:03:54,727 --> 02:03:58,063
TWO EIGHTHS, LISTED THERE. BUT

2298
02:03:58,130 --> 02:04:02,034
POSITIONS EIGHT AND NINE.

2299
02:04:02,101 --> 02:04:03,135
LISH WHITSON, DO YOU WANT TO

2300
02:04:03,202 --> 02:04:05,137
DESCRIBE HOW THERE ARE EIGHT

2301
02:04:05,204 --> 02:04:06,605
AND NINE IN DIFFERENT ELECTION

2302
02:04:06,672 --> 02:04:12,745
CYCLES WE

2303
02:04:12,812 --> 02:04:14,313
>> GUESS, SO THERE WILL BE.

2304
02:04:14,380 --> 02:04:15,514
>> CAN YOU DO THAT FOR THE

2305
02:04:15,581 --> 02:04:17,216
PUBLIC, AS WELL, LISH WHITSON ?

2306
02:04:17,349 --> 02:04:19,285
>> STARTING IN THE 2029, THERE

2307
02:04:19,351 --> 02:04:23,656
WOULD BE FIVE COUNCILMEMBERS

2308
02:04:23,722 --> 02:04:25,090
UP FOR ELECTION, AND THERE

2309
02:04:25,157 --> 02:04:27,092
WOULD BE FOUR THEN.

2310
02:04:27,159 --> 02:04:30,696
>> GREAT. THANK YOU FOR

2311
02:04:30,763 --> 02:04:31,897
SHOWING THAT AGAIN. ANY

2312
02:04:31,964 --> 02:04:37,436
QUESTIONS ON THAT ?

2313
02:04:37,503 --> 02:04:38,304
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, DO YOU

2314
02:04:38,370 --> 02:04:40,105
HAVE YOUR HAND UP FOR

2315
02:04:40,172 --> 02:04:40,940
ADDITIONAL COMMENT?

2316
02:04:41,006 --> 02:04:44,810
>> I AM TAKING IT DOWN.

2317
02:04:44,877 --> 02:04:49,348
>> I WILL CONCLUDE MY

2318
02:04:49,415 --> 02:04:51,317
COMMENTS. I HOPE THIS DOES TEE

2319
02:04:51,383 --> 02:04:54,820
UP A CONVERSATION FOR FOLKS TO

2320
02:04:54,887 --> 02:04:56,489
HAVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE ABOUT

2321
02:04:56,555 --> 02:05:00,192
THE STABILITY OF COUNCIL, IF

2322
02:05:00,259 --> 02:05:01,560
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CONCLUDE

2323
02:05:01,627 --> 02:05:02,595
THIS IN DECEMBER WITH THE

2324
02:05:02,661 --> 02:05:04,797
EXISTING COUNCIL, I HOPE THIS

2325
02:05:04,864 --> 02:05:06,098
IS GOOD FOOD FOR THOUGHT AS WE

2326
02:05:06,165 --> 02:05:07,766
ENTER INTO 24, THIS IS NOT

2327
02:05:07,833 --> 02:05:09,568
ANYTHING THAT WOULD GO IN FRONT

2328
02:05:09,635 --> 02:05:12,505
OF THE VOTERS BEFORE NOVEMBER,

2329
02:05:12,571 --> 02:05:14,073
2024. THERE IS TIME TO CONTINUE

2330
02:05:14,139 --> 02:05:18,244
TO MASSAGE THIS CONCEPT. AND

2331
02:05:18,310 --> 02:05:19,712
WE CAN LOOK AT VARIOUS

2332
02:05:19,778 --> 02:05:20,980
SCENARIOS TO DO SOME GREATER

2333
02:05:21,046 --> 02:05:30,890
ANALYSIS, AND REDUCE

2334
02:05:30,956 --> 02:05:32,224
TURNOVER. THE WAYS IN WHICH WE

2335
02:05:32,291 --> 02:05:33,559
CAN DO THIS, IF THIS TURNS OUT

2336
02:05:33,626 --> 02:05:35,027
TO BE ONE OF THE WAYS WE CAN

2337
02:05:35,094 --> 02:05:36,128
ACCOMPLISH LESS TURNOVER, MORE

2338
02:05:36,195 --> 02:05:36,729
INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, I

2339
02:05:36,795 --> 02:05:37,963
THINK THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR OUR

2340
02:05:38,030 --> 02:05:38,631
LOCAL DEMOCRACY. AGAIN,

2341
02:05:38,697 --> 02:05:39,832
COLLEAGUES, I WANT TO THANK THE

2342
02:05:39,899 --> 02:05:41,800
PEOPLE WHO WORK ON THE ORIGINAL

2343
02:05:41,867 --> 02:05:43,068
ELECTIONS IN 2013. THIS HAS

2344
02:05:43,135 --> 02:05:45,838
BEEN ILLUMINATING ABOUT THE

2345
02:05:45,905 --> 02:05:46,639
CONVERSATION THAT HAPPENED 10

2346
02:05:46,705 --> 02:05:47,973
YEARS AGO. I AM MORE FAMILIAR

2347
02:05:48,040 --> 02:05:55,247
WITH THE COALITION FROM 2015

2348
02:05:55,314 --> 02:05:56,181
ON HONEST ELECTIONS. THAT

2349
02:05:56,248 --> 02:05:56,982
COALITION IS STILL AROUND. PART

2350
02:05:57,049 --> 02:05:58,217
OF THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT I HAVE

2351
02:05:58,284 --> 02:05:59,985
REACHED OUT TO AND HAD A

2352
02:06:00,052 --> 02:06:00,953
CONVERSATION ABOUT, THEY HAVE

2353
02:06:01,020 --> 02:06:01,954
BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF MOVING IN

2354
02:06:02,021 --> 02:06:04,490
THIS DIRECTION. THE OTHER

2355
02:06:04,557 --> 02:06:05,257
LETTER WAS READ INTO THE

2356
02:06:05,324 --> 02:06:06,692
RECORD. I WANT TO READ SOME

2357
02:06:06,759 --> 02:06:08,827
OTHER COMMENTS, FROM HOWARD,

2358
02:06:08,894 --> 02:06:13,365
WHO WORKED ON THAT IN 2015,

2359
02:06:13,432 --> 02:06:17,736
THAT IS SEPARATE FROM DISTRICT

2360
02:06:17,803 --> 02:06:18,604
ELECTIONS, BUT SIMILARLY, THE

2361
02:06:18,671 --> 02:06:19,805
2015 EFFORT WAS INTENDED TO

2362
02:06:19,872 --> 02:06:21,006
ENSURE THAT WE HAD DISSIPATION.

2363
02:06:21,073 --> 02:06:22,441
AND ALSO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN

2364
02:06:22,508 --> 02:06:26,879
OUR LOCAL ELECTIONS, THIS IS

2365
02:06:26,946 --> 02:06:28,647
ALL INTERCONNECTED. AS WAS

2366
02:06:28,714 --> 02:06:29,748
WRITTEN TO THE FULL COUNCIL, I

2367
02:06:29,815 --> 02:06:32,318
WRITE TO THE COUNCIL TO ALLOW

2368
02:06:32,384 --> 02:06:38,924
THE VOTERS TO CHOOSE, WHETHER

2369
02:06:38,991 --> 02:06:40,559
TO MOVE THE STAGGERED DISTRICT

2370
02:06:40,626 --> 02:06:42,461
ELECTIONS, WITH THE LEGISLATION

2371
02:06:42,528 --> 02:06:44,763
INTRODUCED BY COUNCILMEMBER

2372
02:06:44,830 --> 02:06:51,670
MOSQUEDA. SUCH LEGISLATION

2373
02:06:51,737 --> 02:06:52,404
WOULD BENEFIT THE CITY OF

2374
02:06:52,471 --> 02:06:53,806
SEATTLE IN A VARIETY OF WAYS.

2375
02:06:53,872 --> 02:06:54,873
WORKFLOW WOULD BE LESS IMPACTED

2376
02:06:54,940 --> 02:06:55,975
BY THE POSSIBILITY OF DRAMATIC

2377
02:06:56,041 --> 02:06:56,575
TURNOVER IN LEADERSHIP.

2378
02:06:56,642 --> 02:06:57,710
FORENSIC, PUBLIC TERMS CREATE

2379
02:06:57,776 --> 02:06:58,577
THE POTENTIAL THAT CERTAIN

2380
02:06:58,644 --> 02:07:00,546
ELECTIONS COULD RESULT IN 7 OF

2381
02:07:00,613 --> 02:07:05,451
9 COUNCILMEMBERS MOVING OUT ,

2382
02:07:05,517 --> 02:07:06,852
AT THE SAME TIME. THAT WOULD

2383
02:07:06,919 --> 02:07:07,920
MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN

2384
02:07:07,987 --> 02:07:08,854
ANY CONSISTENCY IN THE

2385
02:07:08,921 --> 02:07:09,755
TRAJECTORY OF OUR COUNCIL.

2386
02:07:09,822 --> 02:07:15,928
MULTI--YEAR PROJECTS COULD

2387
02:07:15,995 --> 02:07:17,296
STALL, COUNCIL LEADERSHIP COULD

2388
02:07:17,363 --> 02:07:18,397
BECOME MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO

2389
02:07:18,464 --> 02:07:24,236
SHORT-TERM REACTIONS TO

2390
02:07:24,303 --> 02:07:25,004
SENSATIONALIZED STORIES. WHAT

2391
02:07:25,070 --> 02:07:26,338
WE NEED IS A COUNCIL THAT IS

2392
02:07:26,405 --> 02:07:28,407
STABLE, FORWARD -THINKING, AND

2393
02:07:28,474 --> 02:07:30,209
PROACTIVE. THIS IS FAR EASIER

2394
02:07:30,275 --> 02:07:32,678
TO MAINTAIN AN ENVIRONMENT IN

2395
02:07:32,745 --> 02:07:33,579
WHICH WE CAN PREVENT THE

2396
02:07:33,646 --> 02:07:35,014
POSSIBILITY OF LOSING A SUPER

2397
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:37,216
MAJORITY OF COUNCIL EVERY FEW

2398
02:07:37,282 --> 02:07:38,150
YEARS. IN ADDITION, STAGGERING

2399
02:07:38,217 --> 02:07:39,785
THE TERMS WOULD HELP INCREASE

2400
02:07:39,852 --> 02:07:42,221
VOTED RETENTION, AND DONOR

2401
02:07:42,287 --> 02:07:47,426
RETENTION , THAT WOULD INCLUDE

2402
02:07:47,493 --> 02:07:48,594
AT LEAST ONE OPPORTUNITY FOR

2403
02:07:48,661 --> 02:07:50,396
FOLKS TO SEE , EXCUSE ME, AT

2404
02:07:50,462 --> 02:07:53,499
LEAST AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE

2405
02:07:53,565 --> 02:07:56,268
IN THE CYCLE EVERY YEAR.

2406
02:07:56,335 --> 02:07:58,637
STAGGERING OUR DISTRICT CITY

2407
02:07:58,704 --> 02:08:01,540
COUNCIL RACES IS GOOD . I HOPE

2408
02:08:01,607 --> 02:08:03,776
YOU WILL ALLOW THE PEOPLE TO

2409
02:08:03,842 --> 02:08:05,611
DECIDE. ON THAT LAST QUESTION,

2410
02:08:05,678 --> 02:08:09,481
WE WILL BE DECIDING LATER

2411
02:08:09,548 --> 02:08:10,983
WHETHER WE TAKE THIS UP AS FULL

2412
02:08:11,050 --> 02:08:15,120
COMMITTEE OR FULL COUNCIL.

2413
02:08:15,187 --> 02:08:16,855
