541
00:23:10,388 --> 00:23:11,990
OF TREE LOSS ACROSS THE CITY.  

542
00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:15,761
WHILE THE FOCUS  IS OFTEN ON  

543
00:23:15,761 --> 00:23:18,163
TREEPLANTING, IT IS  SUSTAINED  

544
00:23:18,163 --> 00:23:20,799
FUNDING FOR FIVE YEARS OF  TREE 

545
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:24,970
CARE  THAT STAFF SAY IS A GAME 

546
00:23:24,970 --> 00:23:26,872
CHANGER.  THIS INCLUDES FUNDING 

547
00:23:26,872 --> 00:23:29,541
FOR WATERING , WHICH WILL BE TH 

548
00:23:29,541 --> 00:23:33,412
LARGEST TASK , SO TREES DON'T  

549
00:23:33,412 --> 00:23:35,080
JUST GET PLANTED, BUT THEY GET 

550
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,851
MAINTAINED,  AND AN OPPORTUNITY 

551
00:23:39,851 --> 00:23:41,086

IN  Q4 AND  Q1 OF EACH YEAR.  

557
00:23:57,035 --> 00:23:58,503
THAT'S WHEN WE GET MOST OF OUR  

558
00:23:58,503 --> 00:24:02,541
RAIN. IT HELPS US DO SAPLINGS   

559
00:24:02,541 --> 00:24:04,176
AND HAVE THEM PLANTED DURING TH 

560
00:24:04,176 --> 00:24:06,311
COOLER  AND WETTER MONTHS. NEXT 

561

00:30:31,262 --> 00:30:34,399
OTHER AREAS, THERE WAS A BRIEF  

713
00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:37,368
MENTION  OF THE LIFEGUARD  

714
00:30:37,368 --> 00:30:40,905
TRAINING TEAM  IN THE 2022   

715
00:30:40,905 --> 00:30:45,543
REPORTS.  I WANT TO TAKE A  

716
00:30:45,543 --> 00:30:46,544
MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT AQUATICS  

717
00:30:46,544 --> 00:30:48,546
AND TALK ABOUT LIFEGUARDS HERE  

718
00:30:48,546 --> 00:30:55,620
AT THE BEGINNING  OF MY  

719
00:30:55,620 --> 00:30:56,554
QUESTIONS. IT IS SOMETHING I  

720
00:30:56,554 --> 00:30:57,488
DIDN'T REALLY SEE EMPHASIZED IN 

721
00:30:57,488 --> 00:31:00,358
THE SCALING UP PORTION.  TO DO  

722
00:31:00,358 --> 00:31:01,993
SOMETHING THAT CONTINUES TO BE  

723
00:31:01,993 --> 00:31:03,461
STRUGGLE , BOTH HERE AND 

724
00:31:03,461 --> 00:31:06,364
NATIONALLY , TO ADEQUATELY STAF 

725
00:31:06,364 --> 00:31:10,635
OUR  AQUATICS PROGRAMMING.  WE  

726
00:31:10,635 --> 00:31:11,703
HAVE A NUMBER OF SWIMMING  

727
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:13,872
BEACHES WHO HAVE  DELAYED  

728
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:15,206
OPENINGS, OR INDEFINITE CLOSURE 

729
00:31:15,206 --> 00:31:20,478
 THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.  THERE AR 

730
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:22,313
INCONSISTENT HOURS  DUE TO  

731
00:31:22,313 --> 00:31:26,618
INCONSISTENT STAFFING.  I DO  

732
00:31:26,618 --> 00:31:27,819
WANT TO JUST CHECK IN HERE,  

733
00:31:27,819 --> 00:31:30,021
SINCE I DON'T REALLY SEE A  

734
00:31:30,021 --> 00:31:34,592
COMPLETELY --  WHAT THE  

735
00:31:34,592 --> 00:31:36,027
DEPARTMENT PLANS ARE TO RESPOND 

736
00:31:36,027 --> 00:31:41,032
 AND MITIGATE TO MAKE SURE  WE  

737
00:31:41,032 --> 00:31:42,166
ARE SOLVING THIS ONGOING 

738
00:31:42,166 --> 00:31:47,038
CHALLENGE  POST-COVID  WITH  

739
00:31:47,038 --> 00:31:47,472
AQUATIC STAFFING.  

740
00:31:47,472 --> 00:31:49,140
>> THANK YOU FOR RAISING THAT.  

741
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:50,508
WE HAVE DONE A COUPLE OF THINGS 

742
00:31:50,508 --> 00:31:55,113
IN THE SCENES.  I THINK WE  

743
00:31:55,113 --> 00:31:57,548
TALKED TO YOU EARLIER THIS YEAR 

744
00:31:57,548 --> 00:32:02,620
 ABOUT POTENTIALLY  GOING TO TH 

745
00:32:02,620 --> 00:32:05,089
LABOR COMMITTEE . WE HAD A  

746
00:32:05,089 --> 00:32:07,458
SITUATION WHERE  WE GOT   

747
00:32:07,458 --> 00:32:11,529
AUTHORIZATION  TO PAY  NEW  

748
00:32:11,529 --> 00:32:13,264
INCOMING LIFEGUARDS  A HIGHER 

749
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:16,501
WAGE  THAN EXISTING LIFEGUARDS. 

750
00:32:16,501 --> 00:32:18,536
 THAT ACTUALLY HAD A CHILLING 

751
00:32:18,536 --> 00:32:21,906
EFFECT  ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN 

752
00:32:21,906 --> 00:32:23,141
HERE AS LIFEGUARDS FOR A LONG  

753
00:32:23,141 --> 00:32:24,776
TIME. WE WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE 

754
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:29,447
 WITH LOCAL 117 , AND OUR LABOR 

755
00:32:29,447 --> 00:32:36,921
PARTNERS , TO BE ABLE TO ELEVAT 

756
00:32:36,921 --> 00:32:38,156
 A COMPENSATION FOR EXISTING  

757
00:32:38,156 --> 00:32:40,425
STAFF SO THAT IT MATCHES WHAT  

758
00:32:40,425 --> 00:32:50,168
NEW STAFF  ARE BEING PAID . THE 

759
00:32:50,168 --> 00:32:51,202
HIGHER RATE THEY WERE RECRUITED 

760
00:32:51,202 --> 00:32:52,403
OUT. THAT WAS A BIG HELP.  

761
00:32:52,403 --> 00:32:53,805
RETENTION IS A BIG PART OF THIS 

762
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:55,106
EQUATION. THE OTHER THING WE AR 

763
00:32:55,106 --> 00:32:56,541
DOING IS, WE ARE TALKING TO KIN 

764
00:32:56,541 --> 00:32:58,242
COUNTY, THE CITY OF BELLEVUE, 

765
00:32:58,242 --> 00:33:02,013
YMCA , BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB,  

766
00:33:02,013 --> 00:33:06,351
OTHER PARTNERS IN THE COMMUNITY 

767
00:33:06,351 --> 00:33:08,219
, AND ASKING AND TRYING TO CLEA 

768
00:33:08,219 --> 00:33:13,224
ANY OTHER PARTNER  AND WHAT THE 

769
00:33:13,224 --> 00:33:14,392
HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS. ONE OF  

770
00:33:14,392 --> 00:33:15,360
THE THINGS THAT SEATTLE PARKS  

771
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,429
AND RECREATION HAS NOT DONE  IS 

772
00:33:18,429 --> 00:33:22,300
THAT WE  --  WE HAVEN'T HAD A 

773
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:24,435
DROWNING  IN A LIFEGUARD AT  

774
00:33:24,435 --> 00:33:26,504
BEACH IN YEARS.  IT'S PROBABLY  

775
00:33:26,504 --> 00:33:30,174
BEEN 50 YEARS.  OUR CHALLENGE I 

776
00:33:30,174 --> 00:33:34,312
TO MAINTAIN  THAT TRACK RECORD  

777
00:33:34,312 --> 00:33:35,513
WE CAN PROBABLY HIRE MORE  

778
00:33:35,513 --> 00:33:36,848
LIFEGUARDS IF WE LOWERED OUR 

779
00:33:36,848 --> 00:33:44,455
STANDARD,  FOR WHAT IT TAKES TO 

780
00:33:44,455 --> 00:33:45,990
BE A LIFEGUARD IN OPEN WATER. W 

781
00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:47,158
ARE KIND OF COMMITTED TO THE  

782
00:33:47,158 --> 00:33:48,926
HIGH STANDARD, BUT OUR WORK TO  

783
00:33:48,926 --> 00:33:50,862
THIS POINT  IS TO RAMP UP THE  

784
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:51,662
LIFEGUARD TRAINING PROGRAM,  

785
00:33:51,662 --> 00:33:55,099
BECAUSE THAT INCLUDES  13, 14,  

786
00:33:55,099 --> 00:34:03,975
15 YEARS  OLD PEOPLE. THAT GETS 

787
00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:05,343
THEM IN THE PIPELINE BY THE TIM 

788
00:34:05,343 --> 00:34:06,844
THEY ARE 18. THEY HAVE A GREAT  

789
00:34:06,844 --> 00:34:08,579
FULL-TIME JOB AS A LIFEGUARD.   

790
00:34:08,579 --> 00:34:10,047
WE DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO  

791
00:34:10,047 --> 00:34:10,882
DO THAT LIFEGUARD TRAINING  

792
00:34:10,882 --> 00:34:12,483
PROGRAM DURING COVID , BUT NOW  

793
00:34:12,483 --> 00:34:14,986
THAT WE HAVE RAMP SET UP,  WE  

794
00:34:14,986 --> 00:34:18,022
ARE BUILDING A PIPELINE  OF  

795
00:34:18,022 --> 00:34:19,891
FUTURE LIFEGUARDS.  WE ARE  

796
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:22,994
HOPEFUL THAT BY NEXT YEAR , OR  

797
00:34:22,994 --> 00:34:24,529
THE YEAR AFTER, OR HOPEFULLY  

798
00:34:24,529 --> 00:34:27,665
NEXT YEAR,  WE WILL BE IN A MUC 

799
00:34:27,665 --> 00:34:29,100
BETTER PLACE. I WILL SAY THAT W 

800
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:30,735
ARE NOT IN A WORSE PLACE THAN W 

801
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:33,805
WERE LAST YEAR. WE STILL HAVE   

802
00:34:33,805 --> 00:34:35,006
EIGHT PUBLIC SWIM BEACH IS OPEN 

803
00:34:35,006 --> 00:34:36,874
THIS YEAR. THAT IS HOW WE ARE  

804
00:34:36,874 --> 00:34:42,346
COMING UP TO THE COST . YOUR  

805
00:34:42,346 --> 00:34:47,685
POINT IS WELL TAKEN.   

806
00:34:47,685 --> 00:34:48,853
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.  

807
00:34:48,853 --> 00:34:49,720
DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE WILL  

808
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,156
CONTINUE TO MONITOR . HOPEFULLY 

809
00:34:52,156 --> 00:34:53,758
IN THE SUMMER OF 2024, WE ARE I 

810
00:34:53,758 --> 00:35:00,765
A STRONGER POSITION  TO USE AN  

811
00:35:00,765 --> 00:35:01,799
APPROPRIATE METAPHOR THAT WE AR 

812
00:35:01,799 --> 00:35:03,034
NOT JUST TREADING WATER, BUT WE 

813
00:35:03,034 --> 00:35:05,303
ARE ACTUALLY MOVING FORWARD  IN 

814
00:35:05,303 --> 00:35:06,270
CLOSING THIS GAP WE ARE  

815
00:35:06,270 --> 00:35:11,409
EXPERIENCING WITH AQUATICS.  I  

816
00:35:11,409 --> 00:35:12,543
HAVE ONE LAST QUESTION, AND THE 

817
00:35:12,543 --> 00:35:13,978
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN  

818
00:35:13,978 --> 00:35:15,480
THIS UP TO COLLEAGUES. LAST 

819
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,849
QUESTION . WHEN WE WERE TALKING 

820
00:35:17,849 --> 00:35:21,119
ABOUT THE RANGERS , YOU  

821
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:23,020
MENTIONED THEY RECEIVED FLAGGIN 

822
00:35:23,020 --> 00:35:28,926
TRAINING?  I AM CURIOUS, THE 

823
00:35:28,926 --> 00:35:32,363
EXTENT  TO WHICH -- FIRST OFF , 

824
00:35:32,363 --> 00:35:33,798
DOES THAT GIVE THEM A 

825
00:35:33,798 --> 00:35:36,334
CERTIFICATION  AS A RESULT OF  

826
00:35:36,334 --> 00:35:39,504
COMPLETING THAT TRAINING  AS  

827
00:35:39,504 --> 00:35:42,206
FLAGGERS? AND WHAT IS THE EXTEN 

828
00:35:42,206 --> 00:35:48,779
 OF THEIR ABILITY  WITH THAT  

829
00:35:48,779 --> 00:35:50,381
FLAGGING TRAINING TO ENGAGE IN  

830
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:58,756
MORE BROAD  -- AS REQUIRED   

831
00:35:58,756 --> 00:35:59,457
TRAFFIC CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIE 

832
00:35:59,457 --> 00:36:00,591
, AS MAY BE REQUIRED IN THE  

833
00:36:00,591 --> 00:36:00,825
CITY.  

834
00:36:00,825 --> 00:36:01,826
>> YEAH. THAT'S A GREAT  

835
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:02,827
QUESTION. OF COURSE WE WANTED  

836
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:08,366
THEM TO HAVE THIS TRAINING   

837
00:36:08,366 --> 00:36:09,200
BECAUSE INCIDENTAL TO THEIR  

838
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,468
WORK, THERE COULD BE THE  

839
00:36:10,468 --> 00:36:11,269
OPPORTUNITIES, OR THE NEED TO  

840
00:36:11,269 --> 00:36:12,336
MANAGE TRAFFIC IN A 

841
00:36:12,336 --> 00:36:15,139
RIGHT-OF-WAY.  I THOUGHT IT WAS 

842
00:36:15,139 --> 00:36:18,242
ESSENTIAL FOR THEIR SAFETY , AN 

843
00:36:18,242 --> 00:36:19,677
FOR THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE 

844
00:36:19,677 --> 00:36:26,184
PUBLIC , TO HAVE THIS TRAINING. 

845
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:28,386
 WITH 12 PEOPLE NOW HAVING FLAG 

846
00:36:28,386 --> 00:36:34,392
 CERTIFICATION CARDS , THEY ARE 

847
00:36:34,392 --> 00:36:36,827
A POOL OF PEOPLE, I SUPPOSE, WH 

848
00:36:36,827 --> 00:36:38,663
 COULD BE USED. OUR PRIORITY FO 

849
00:36:38,663 --> 00:36:43,834
THEM WOULD BE TO HAVE  THE  

850
00:36:43,834 --> 00:36:44,435
FLAGGING CERTIFICATION BE  

851
00:36:44,435 --> 00:36:45,403
INCIDENTAL TO THEIR WORK, FOR  

852
00:36:45,403 --> 00:36:47,071
SINKS FORMING THE AMOUNT  FOR  

853
00:36:47,071 --> 00:36:49,707
FLOGGING OTHER PLACES.   

854
00:36:49,707 --> 00:36:54,912
>> ALL RIGHT.  WE WILL STAY IN  

855
00:36:54,912 --> 00:36:56,147
TOUCH ON THAT FOR SURE. THANKS  

856
00:36:56,147 --> 00:36:56,714
FOR THAT UPDATE.  

857
00:36:56,714 --> 00:36:57,281
>> YOU BET.  

858
00:36:57,281 --> 00:36:58,716
>> WE HAVE TWO BOARD MEMBERS IN 

859
00:36:58,716 --> 00:37:01,385
THE QUEUE HERE.  BOARD MEMBER  

860
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:09,093
NELSON, AND THEN BOARD MEMBER   

861
00:37:09,093 --> 00:37:09,393
MORALES.  

862
00:37:09,393 --> 00:37:10,228
>> THANKS FOR BRINGING UP THE  

863
00:37:10,228 --> 00:37:11,495
AQUATICS PROGRAM. I DID HAVE A  

864
00:37:11,495 --> 00:37:12,496
QUESTION ABOUT THAT. WE DID  

865
00:37:12,496 --> 00:37:15,299
DOUBLE THE  PARKS  DISTRICT  

866
00:37:15,299 --> 00:37:16,434
SPENDING PLAN LAST YEAR. LAST  

867
00:37:16,434 --> 00:37:17,902
YEAR WE HAD BEACHES THAT WERE  

868
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:18,703
CLOSED FOR LACK OF LIFEGUARDS.  

869
00:37:18,703 --> 00:37:20,705
THAT WAS A BIG DEAL.  THEN WE  

870
00:37:20,705 --> 00:37:21,906
PROVIDED MORE MONEY THIS YEAR.  

871
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:23,908
DO WANT TO KNOW HOW IS THE  

872
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:30,014
SPENDING GOING  IN THAT  

873
00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:30,948
DEPARTMENT? I UNDERSTAND YOU AR 

874
00:37:30,948 --> 00:37:32,049
LOOKING AT BEST PRACTICES FOR  

875
00:37:32,049 --> 00:37:33,217
WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING. BU 

876
00:37:33,217 --> 00:37:40,958
WHAT I HAVE HEARD IS THAT   

877
00:37:40,958 --> 00:37:42,627
PEOPLE HAD TO GO TO A CLASS TO  

878
00:37:42,627 --> 00:37:43,694
TAKE TRAINING. I'M NOT TALKING  

879
00:37:43,694 --> 00:37:44,762
ABOUT THE YOUTH YOU JUST  

880
00:37:44,762 --> 00:37:45,763
MENTIONED. BUT IF SOMEBODY JUST 

881
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:47,031
WANTS TO BE A LIFEGUARD, THEY  

882
00:37:47,031 --> 00:37:48,566
HAVE TO TAKE THAT TRAINING FOR 

883
00:37:48,566 --> 00:37:55,339
IT.  ONE OF MY OTHER QUESTION   

884
00:37:55,339 --> 00:37:56,774
WAS HOW ARE WE DOING ON THE  

885
00:37:56,774 --> 00:37:57,975
SPENDING PLAN FOR 2023? I WANT  

886
00:37:57,975 --> 00:37:59,243
TO KNOW THOSE ANSWERS IF YOU  

887
00:37:59,243 --> 00:38:00,311
HAVE THAT INFORMATION HANDY. NO 

888
00:38:00,311 --> 00:38:02,780
RIGHT NOW, BUT LATER.  WHY DON' 

889
00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:04,248
WE JUST PAY FOR PEOPLE'S 

890
00:38:04,248 --> 00:38:07,184
TRAINING ? I'M THINKING IF WE  

891
00:38:07,184 --> 00:38:08,452
HAVEN'T SPENT THE MONEY, IS THA 

892
00:38:08,452 --> 00:38:09,887
A POSSIBILITY TO PROVIDE THAT  

893
00:38:09,887 --> 00:38:11,255
TRAINING, OR DO WHATEVER IT 

894
00:38:11,255 --> 00:38:14,892
TAKES  TO STAFF UP ON  

895
00:38:14,892 --> 00:38:16,160
LIFEGUARDS? WE KNOW THIS WAS A 

896
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:21,198
PROBLEM.  IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR  

897
00:38:21,198 --> 00:38:22,633
ME TO PASS THAT THING LAST YEAR 

898
00:38:22,633 --> 00:38:24,001
BECAUSE IT WAS A DOUBLING OF TH 

899
00:38:24,001 --> 00:38:25,469
TAX BURDEN. I JUST WANT TO MAKE 

900
00:38:25,469 --> 00:38:27,238
SURE THAT AS WE ARE COLLECTING  

901
00:38:27,238 --> 00:38:29,740
THIS TAX  IT IS BEING USED FOR  

902
00:38:29,740 --> 00:38:31,442
WHAT WE IDENTIFIED.   

903
00:38:31,442 --> 00:38:31,809
>> RATES.  

904
00:38:31,809 --> 00:38:34,078
>> GREEN LAKE  IS CLOSED. CALL  

905
00:38:34,078 --> 00:38:39,216
ME OUT, COUNCILMEMBER  STRAUSS, 

906
00:38:39,216 --> 00:38:40,685
BUT I THINK THAT'S THE MOST USE 

907
00:38:40,685 --> 00:38:42,086
PARK IN THE CITY. GREEN LAKE   

908
00:38:42,086 --> 00:38:45,056
USED SWIMMING AREA  IS -- I  

909
00:38:45,056 --> 00:38:46,223
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE MOST  

910
00:38:46,223 --> 00:38:47,425
USED, BUT IT DOES SERVE A  

911
00:38:47,425 --> 00:38:50,528
EXTREMELY DIVERSE COMMUNITY.   

912
00:38:50,528 --> 00:38:52,396
IT'S A BIG ONE TO KEEP CLOSED. 

913
00:38:52,396 --> 00:38:53,331
THANKS.   

914
00:38:53,331 --> 00:38:56,067
>> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.  

915
00:38:56,067 --> 00:38:59,837
I THINK ON YOUR BROADER QUESTIO 

916
00:38:59,837 --> 00:39:01,005
 ABOUT THE OVERALL SPENDING  

917
00:39:01,005 --> 00:39:02,406
PLAN, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GET  

918
00:39:02,406 --> 00:39:05,943
BACK TO YOU WITH MORE DETAIL   

919
00:39:05,943 --> 00:39:06,977
AND INFORMATION ON THAT. I'M  

920
00:39:06,977 --> 00:39:08,379
GOING TO ASK MICHELLE TO JUMP I 

921
00:39:08,379 --> 00:39:12,116
AND HELP ME HERE.  I THINK WE  

922
00:39:12,116 --> 00:39:13,751
DID JUST WORK WITH OUR LABOR 

923
00:39:13,751 --> 00:39:16,821
PARTNERS  TO ALLOW US TO  

924
00:39:16,821 --> 00:39:20,324
REIMBURSE PEOPLE  FOR LIFEGUARD 

925
00:39:20,324 --> 00:39:21,592
TRAINING. IS THAT CORRECT, 

926
00:39:21,592 --> 00:39:25,362
MICHELLE?   

927
00:39:25,362 --> 00:39:26,997
>> I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK ON THA 

928
00:39:26,997 --> 00:39:28,232
SPECIFIC PART. I KNOW SOME OF  

929
00:39:28,232 --> 00:39:29,700
THESE TRAININGS THAT WE HAVE 

930
00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:31,602
OFFERED , THAT WE REFERENCED  

931
00:39:31,602 --> 00:39:33,003
EVEN MUSTER, WERE FREE TO 

932
00:39:33,003 --> 00:39:38,876
PARTICIPATE.  I DON'T KNOW THAT 

933
00:39:38,876 --> 00:39:40,144
ALL OF THEM ARE. WE CAN  

934
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:41,045
CERTAINLY GIVE YOU MORE  

935
00:39:41,045 --> 00:39:41,612
INFORMATION ON THAT,  

936
00:39:41,612 --> 00:39:42,446
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON. WE WOULD  

937
00:39:42,446 --> 00:39:44,515
AGREE THAT RECRUITING AND   

938
00:39:44,515 --> 00:39:45,349
TRAINING PEOPLE IS IMPORTANT.  

939
00:39:45,349 --> 00:39:52,923
>> I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.  DO  

940
00:39:52,923 --> 00:39:53,758
UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY THAT THE  

941
00:39:53,758 --> 00:39:54,992
REASON WE WEREN'T -- IS THE  

942
00:39:54,992 --> 00:39:57,695
LABOR DISPUTE, OR THE LABOR  -- 

943
00:39:57,695 --> 00:39:58,929
IS THE LABOR ISSUE THE REASON  

944
00:39:58,929 --> 00:40:00,131
WHY WE DON'T HAVE MORE GUARDS  

945
00:40:00,131 --> 00:40:01,766
NOW? I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST 

946
00:40:01,766 --> 00:40:04,368
IDENTIFYING  DIFFERENCES IN PAY 

947
00:40:04,368 --> 00:40:07,605
SCALE  FOR EXISTING. BUT   

948
00:40:07,605 --> 00:40:11,375
TALKING ABOUT  ACTUALLY GETTING 

949
00:40:11,375 --> 00:40:11,642
MORE?  

950
00:40:11,642 --> 00:40:15,713
>> YEAH. I THINK THAT  -- SO TH 

951
00:40:15,713 --> 00:40:17,081
LIFEGUARD JOB USED TO BE A VERY 

952
00:40:17,081 --> 00:40:18,282
WELL-PAYING JOB FOR 21, 

953
00:40:18,282 --> 00:40:20,918
22-YEAR-OLDS , A YOUNG PERSON  

954
00:40:20,918 --> 00:40:23,988
WHEN THEY WERE IN SCHOOL.  THER 

955
00:40:23,988 --> 00:40:25,623
IS THE QUESTION OF COMPENSATION 

956
00:40:25,623 --> 00:40:32,062
RIGHT NOW  IN THAT BODY OF WORK 

957
00:40:32,062 --> 00:40:33,964
 THEN THERE ARE OTHER LABOR 

958
00:40:33,964 --> 00:40:38,536
ISSUES  THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT 

959
00:40:38,536 --> 00:40:41,038
 IT'S KIND OF A MIXED BAG. WE  

960
00:40:41,038 --> 00:40:44,542
THINK THAT  THE SALARY RANGE FO 

961
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:45,743
LIFEGUARDS PROBABLY OUGHT TO 

962
00:40:45,743 --> 00:40:50,314
CHANGE , WHICH IS OUTSIDE OF OU 

963
00:40:50,314 --> 00:40:51,515
PAY GRADE. WE ARE WORKING WITH  

964
00:40:51,515 --> 00:40:55,386
THEM ON THAT  TO DO A WAGE  

965
00:40:55,386 --> 00:40:56,487
COMPENSATION STUDY  ON  

966
00:40:56,487 --> 00:41:03,394
LIFEGUARDS AROUND THE REGION.   

967
00:41:03,394 --> 00:41:04,628
MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE,  

968
00:41:04,628 --> 00:41:06,030
CLEARLY, ON HOW WE TRACK 

969
00:41:06,030 --> 00:41:06,997
LIFEGUARDS.   

970
00:41:06,997 --> 00:41:11,235
>> THANK YOU.

00:41:11,235 --> 00:41:13,070

972
00:41:13,070 --> 00:41:16,474
LATER.  IF YOU CAN GET ME THE  

973
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:18,275
SPENDING PLAN UP TO NOW, BECAUS 

974
00:41:18,275 --> 00:41:22,313
 ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS  HOW  

975
00:41:22,313 --> 00:41:26,417
MUCH WE HAVE NOT SPENT , AND  

976
00:41:26,417 --> 00:41:28,352
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH  

977
00:41:28,352 --> 00:41:31,288
THAT MONEY?  ANYWAY, JUST  

978
00:41:31,288 --> 00:41:32,489
PUTTING IT ALL ON THE TABLE.  

979
00:41:32,489 --> 00:41:32,756
THANKS.

A SPECIFIC PROGRAM , THE SWIM  

986
00:41:53,010 --> 00:41:54,712
SEATTLE PROGRAM. FORGIVE ME IF  

987
00:41:54,712 --> 00:41:57,915
SHOULD BE  ASKING THIS IN THE  

988
00:41:57,915 --> 00:41:58,716
CONTEXT OF OUR COMMITTEE  

989
00:41:58,716 --> 00:41:59,950
MEETING. WHILE YOU ARE HERE AND 

990
00:41:59,950 --> 00:42:01,485
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SUMMERTIME 

991
00:42:01,485 --> 00:42:03,254
AND AQUATICS,  THE IMPORTANCE O 

992
00:42:03,254 --> 00:42:04,088
MAKING SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND  

993
00:42:04,088 --> 00:42:05,623
HOW TO SWIM AND HOW TO 

994
00:42:05,623 --> 00:42:09,260
LIFEGUARD.  WE HAVE RECEIVED A  

995
00:42:09,260 --> 00:42:16,567
LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM PARENTS , 

996
00:42:16,567 --> 00:42:17,801

997
00:42:17,801 --> 00:42:18,636
ELEMENTARY ABOUT THE SWIM

SEATTLE PROGRAM. FOLKS MAY 

999
00:42:19,803 --> 00:42:26,377
REMEMBER  THE MAYOR ANNOUNCED  

1000
00:42:26,377 --> 00:42:27,411
THIS PROGRAM RECENTLY. IT'S AN  

1001
00:42:27,411 --> 00:42:27,945
EXCITING OPPORTUNITY,  

1002
00:42:27,945 --> 00:42:28,779
PARTICULARLY FOR KIDS OF COLOR, 

1003
00:42:28,779 --> 00:42:32,650
TO GET ACCESS TO SWIM LESSONS.  

1004
00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:34,118
BUT WE ARE HEARING A LOT FROM  

1005
00:42:34,118 --> 00:42:35,753
FOLKS THAT SIGNING UP FOR THE 

1006
00:42:35,753 --> 00:42:40,291
PROCESS  IS REALLY HARD BECAUSE 

1007
00:42:40,291 --> 00:42:41,425
IT'S ALL ONLINE, IT'S ALL IN  

1008
00:42:41,425 --> 00:42:43,661
ENGLISH. A LOT OF THE FAMILIES  

1009
00:42:43,661 --> 00:42:44,728
PARTICULARLY AT THE SCHOOL, ARE 

1010
00:42:44,728 --> 00:42:50,501
SOMALI, AND DON'T  -- THEY  

1011
00:42:50,501 --> 00:42:51,335
RECEIVE SOME FINANCIAL AID  

1012

INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO GET A  

1013
00:42:52,570 --> 00:42:53,570
SCHOLARSHIP TO THE PROGRAM, AND 

1014
00:42:53,570 --> 00:42:57,107
THAT WAS IN SOMALI, BUT  THEN  

1015
00:42:57,107 --> 00:42:58,609
THEY ARE DIRECTED TO GO ONLINE  

1016
00:42:58,609 --> 00:43:00,110
TO REGISTER, AND THAT HAS PROVE 

1017
00:43:00,110 --> 00:43:06,250
REALLY CHALLENGING.  I AM  

1018
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:07,117

SPEAK ENGLISH, AND IF THERE IS

1025

PATIMELINE 

1254
00:54:53,256 --> 00:55:03,800
FOR GOING THIS DECISION -- AND 

1255
00:55:34,831 --> 00:55:35,398
SECONDLY, UNDERSTAND THAT LIKE 

1256
00:55:35,398 --> 00:55:36,032
MANY OF OUR FORWARD FACING CITY 

1257
00:55:36,032 --> 00:55:36,700
EMPLOYEES, PARK RANGERS ARE ALS 

1258
00:55:36,700 --> 00:55:37,300
EQUIPPED WITH -- FOR OVERDOSE 

1259
00:55:37,300 --> 00:55:37,934
REVERSALS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT 

1260
00:55:37,934 --> 00:55:38,568
HAS BEGUN TO DOCUMENT THAT, AS 

1261
00:55:38,568 --> 00:55:39,202
HAS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I'M 

1262
00:55:39,202 --> 00:55:39,769
COMMUNITY CENTERS HAVE HAD 

1263
00:55:39,769 --> 00:55:43,807
ACCESS  TO IT FOR A WHILE.  WHE 

1264
00:55:43,807 --> 00:55:45,208
THEY HAVE THAT KIND OF 

1265
00:55:45,208 --> 00:55:47,310
INTERVENTION , THOSE  

1266
00:55:47,310 --> 00:55:47,944
INTERVENTIONS ARE DOCUMENTED  

1267
00:55:47,944 --> 00:55:50,380
THROUGH WHAT WE CALL  AN  

1268
00:55:50,380 --> 00:55:55,151
INCIDENT REPORT.  WE HAVE 

1269
00:55:55,151 --> 00:55:56,753
PROBABLY  SEVERAL FILE CABINETS 

1270
00:55:56,753 --> 00:55:59,789
 FULL OF INCIDENT  REPORTS. I  

1271
00:55:59,789 --> 00:56:01,558
CANNOT TELL YOU RIGHT OFF HAND, 

1272
00:56:01,558 --> 00:56:07,664
THE FREQUENCY  OF ITS USE, BUT  

1273
00:56:07,664 --> 00:56:09,833
IT HAS BEEN USED IN OUR SYSTEM  

1274
00:56:09,833 --> 00:56:11,735
FEW TIMES.  WE WILL CONTINUE TO 

1275
00:56:11,735 --> 00:56:14,971
DOCUMENT THAT USE.   

1276
00:56:14,971 --> 00:56:16,639
>> THANK YOU. I THINK ONE OF TH 

1277
00:56:16,639 --> 00:56:19,509
CHALLENGES I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT 

1278
00:56:19,509 --> 00:56:21,010
 FROM WORKING WITH THE FIRE  

1279
00:56:21,010 --> 00:56:21,845
DEPARTMENT, AND THE POLICE  

1280
00:56:21,845 --> 00:56:23,313
DEPARTMENT, IS THAT IT IS  

1281
00:56:23,313 --> 00:56:24,481
USUALLY IN NOTES. IT IS NOT  

1282
00:56:24,481 --> 00:56:26,116
SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN QUANTIFY 

1283
00:56:26,116 --> 00:56:31,521
 WITHOUT GOING THROUGH   

1284
00:56:31,521 --> 00:56:34,224
LABORIOUSLY ALL OF THE  THE  

1285
00:56:34,224 --> 00:56:35,225
INCIDENT REPORTS. IT IS HELPFUL 

1286
00:56:35,225 --> 00:56:37,660
TO HAVE A CODE OR  SOMETHING  

1287
00:56:37,660 --> 00:56:41,398
THAT IS EASILY SORTABLE.   

1288
00:56:41,398 --> 00:56:42,999
>> WE WILL GO BACK AND TAKE A  

1289
00:56:42,999 --> 00:56:48,872
LOOK AT HOW TO DO THAT.   

1290
00:56:48,872 --> 00:56:53,643
>>  COUNCILMEMBER  HERBOLD'S  

1291
00:56:53,643 --> 00:56:57,213
QUESTION  LED TO ANOTHER THING  

1292
00:56:57,213 --> 00:56:58,882
I THINK I WILL JUST ASK IN THIS 

1293
00:56:58,882 --> 00:57:01,484
HEARING. IT IS EARLY , BUT I AM 

1294
00:57:01,484 --> 00:57:04,287
WILLING TO PREDICT  THAT OUR  

1295
00:57:04,287 --> 00:57:05,989
PARK RANGER  EXPANSION IS GOING 

1296
00:57:05,989 --> 00:57:09,559
TO BE POPULAR , AND THAT THE  

1297
00:57:09,559 --> 00:57:12,195
PARK RANGERS ARE GOING TO   

1298
00:57:12,195 --> 00:57:16,299
REALLY HAVE A GOOD RAPPORT WITH 

1299
00:57:16,299 --> 00:57:17,567
 PARK PATRONS AND STAKEHOLDERS  

1300
00:57:17,567 --> 00:57:18,902
IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING OUR 

1301
00:57:18,902 --> 00:57:22,238
PARKS.  PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE 

1302
00:57:22,238 --> 00:57:23,740
OF THEIR SERVICES AND THEIR 

1303
00:57:23,740 --> 00:57:25,708
PRESENCE.  IN ADDITION TO  

1304
00:57:25,708 --> 00:57:28,645
EXPANDING SERVICE AREA , I WOUL 

1305
00:57:28,645 --> 00:57:32,348
BE CURIOUS  IN GETTING  FROM TH 

1306
00:57:32,348 --> 00:57:38,688
DEPARTMENT  THE SCALABILITY  OF 

1307
00:57:38,688 --> 00:57:40,223
HOW WE MIGHT CONSIDER ADDING  

1308
00:57:40,223 --> 00:57:42,125
ADDITIONAL RANGERS  TO MEET  

1309
00:57:42,125 --> 00:57:43,760
DEMAND FOR SERVICE. I AM SURE 

1310
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:48,465
THAT  WHILE THERE IS A LOT WE  

1311
00:57:48,465 --> 00:57:49,899
CAN DO WITH 28 RANGERS, AND THE 

1312
00:57:49,899 --> 00:57:51,601
BACKGROUND OF THESE RANGERS , A 

1313
00:57:51,601 --> 00:57:52,802
PEOPLE CAN TELL FROM THE PICTUR 

1314
00:57:52,802 --> 00:57:57,173
YOU SHARED EARLIER,  WHERE THE  

1315
00:57:57,173 --> 00:58:00,376
MAYOR AND I ARE WITH THE COHORT 

1316
00:58:00,376 --> 00:58:02,045
 AND WE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO  

1317
00:58:02,045 --> 00:58:03,480
SPEND SOME TIME AND TALK ON THE 

1318
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,149
DAY OF SERVICE IN MAY , WITH  

1319
00:58:06,149 --> 00:58:08,918
THIS COHORT OF RANGERS.  TO HAV 

1320
00:58:08,918 --> 00:58:11,120
A VERY DIVERSE  ARRAY OF 

1321
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,990
BACKGROUNDS  RELATED TO PARK AN 

1322
00:58:13,990 --> 00:58:15,391
RECREATION, BUT ALSO LOTS OF 

1323
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:20,563
FORMER  MEMBERS OF THE ARMED  

1324
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:21,598
SERVICES, AND PEOPLE WHO WORKED 

1325
00:58:21,598 --> 00:58:22,632
IN SOCIAL SERVICES. PEOPLE WHO  

1326
00:58:22,632 --> 00:58:24,601
WORKED IN FAITH-BASED   

1327
00:58:24,601 --> 00:58:25,235
CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND  

1328
00:58:25,235 --> 00:58:30,974
WHAT HAVE YOU.  I IMAGINE THAT  

1329
00:58:30,974 --> 00:58:33,076
WE ARE GOING TO BE IN A POSITIO 

1330
00:58:33,076 --> 00:58:36,846
WHERE  GOING MORE CITYWIDE, AND 

1331
00:58:36,846 --> 00:58:37,981
MAKING IT A MORE CONFERENCE OF  

1332
00:58:37,981 --> 00:58:39,349
SERVICE, IS PROBABLY GOING TO 

1333
00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:44,921
REQUIRE  HAVING MORE THAN 28 .  

1334
00:58:44,921 --> 00:58:47,223
WOULD BE CURIOUS, IN TERMS OF   

1335
00:58:47,223 --> 00:58:48,491
GIVEN THE WORK WE HAVE DONE THI 

1336
00:58:48,491 --> 00:58:50,326
YEAR TO SCALE UP, PRETTY QUICKL 

1337
00:58:50,326 --> 00:58:53,463
 -- I'M VERY IMPRESSED . CORREC 

1338
00:58:53,463 --> 00:58:55,899
ME IF I'M WRONG WHEN ANSWERING  

1339
00:58:55,899 --> 00:58:58,501
THIS QUESTION , BUT MY  

1340
00:58:58,501 --> 00:58:59,903
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT BY MID 

1341
00:58:59,903 --> 00:59:04,507
AUGUST  ALL 28 RANGERS WILL BE  

1342
00:59:04,507 --> 00:59:06,709
HIRED, TRAINED, AND DEPLOYED .  

1343
00:59:06,709 --> 00:59:08,144
THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. THAT'S 

1344
00:59:08,144 --> 00:59:11,080
A PRETTY  IMPRESSIVE TURNAROUND 

1345
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:12,849
JUST TO HAVE THIS FIRST COHORT  

1346
00:59:12,849 --> 00:59:18,354
OUT THERE  THIS MONTH IN JUNE   

1347
00:59:18,354 --> 00:59:19,389
FROM WHEN WE STARTED THE  

1348
00:59:19,389 --> 00:59:20,390
PROGRAM. I WOULD JUST BE  

1349
00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:22,692
CURIOUS, IN TERMS OF  HOW MANY  

1350
00:59:22,692 --> 00:59:25,295
RANGERS THE DEPARTMENT THINKS   

1351
00:59:25,295 --> 00:59:28,765
PER HIRING COHORT , IS SCALABLE 

1352
00:59:28,765 --> 00:59:32,235
 WHAT THE COST PER  FTE IS 

1353
00:59:32,235 --> 00:59:36,205
ESTIMATED  TO BE GOING FORWARD. 

1354
00:59:36,205 --> 00:59:38,007
 AND WHAT THE DEPARTMENT MIGHT 

1355
00:59:38,007 --> 00:59:42,078
ANTICIPATE  DEMAND FOR  

1356
00:59:42,078 --> 00:59:42,946
INCREASING THE RANGER SERVICE  

1357
00:59:42,946 --> 00:59:44,247
MIGHT BE, BASED ON OUR CURRENT  

1358
00:59:44,247 --> 00:59:45,448
EXPERIENCE. THOSE WOULD BE 

1359
00:59:45,448 --> 00:59:47,917
REPORT S I WOULD BE INTERESTED  

1360
00:59:47,917 --> 00:59:50,720
IN FOR THE FUTURE.  FOR THE 

1361
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,924
GENERAL  COMMITTEE, ESPECIALLY  

1362
00:59:54,924 --> 00:59:56,125
AS WE GO INTO BUDGET DISCUSSION 

1363
00:59:56,125 --> 00:59:57,093
AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THAT'S A  

1364
00:59:57,093 --> 01:00:01,431
LOT TO POINT OUT THERE TO HANDL 

1365
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,132
. BUT I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO YOU 

1366
01:00:03,132 --> 01:00:03,967
ANSWERS FOR THOSE QUESTIONS.  

1367
01:00:03,967 --> 01:00:05,168
>> REALLY QUICKLY, AND 

1368
01:00:05,168 --> 01:00:10,106
HIGH-LEVEL.  WE HIRED THE FIRST 

1369
01:00:10,106 --> 01:00:11,341
TRANCHE OF PARK RANGERS, AND I  

1370
01:00:11,341 --> 01:00:15,211
THINK WE HIRED 14 THIS YEAR . W 

1371
01:00:15,211 --> 01:00:16,679
WERE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE EN 

1372
01:00:16,679 --> 01:00:18,014
OF THE YEAR TO REASSESS IF WE  

1373
01:00:18,014 --> 01:00:22,785
NEEDED MORE FOR DOWNTOWN.  WE  

1374
01:00:22,785 --> 01:00:27,457
THINK 14 FOR DOWNTOWN MAY BE   

1375
01:00:27,457 --> 01:00:28,458
SUFFICIENT. WE WANT TO GET  

1376
01:00:28,458 --> 01:00:29,525
EXPERIENCE UNDER OUR BELT BEFOR 

1377
01:00:29,525 --> 01:00:34,697
WE BRING ON AN ADDITIONAL 14.   

1378
01:00:34,697 --> 01:00:35,798
THINK THE DEPLOYMENT WE USE FOR 

1379
01:00:35,798 --> 01:00:38,534
PARK RANGERS, ASSUMING  THEY CA 

1380
01:00:38,534 --> 01:00:39,936
BE DEPLOYED ACROSS THE CITY,  

1381
01:00:39,936 --> 01:00:42,238
WILL HELP US DECIDE HOW MANY WE 

1382
01:00:42,238 --> 01:00:47,243
NEED  AS SOME OF THE DEPLOYMENT 

1383
01:00:47,243 --> 01:00:48,511
STRATEGIES MAY INCLUDE EMPHASIS 

1384
01:00:48,511 --> 01:00:52,281
PATROLS , WHERE WE ARE NOT  

1385
01:00:52,281 --> 01:00:53,316
TRYING TO STAFF ARRANGER AT  

1386
01:00:53,316 --> 01:00:54,484
EVERY SINGLE PARK, BUT WE ARE  

1387
01:00:54,484 --> 01:00:56,052
TRYING TO FIT KNOWN HOTSPOTS. 

1388
01:00:56,052 --> 01:01:00,757
AGAIN , DEPLOYING RANGERS  AND  

1389
01:01:00,757 --> 01:01:02,659
ZONE FORMAT . CURRENTLY IN 

1390
01:01:02,659 --> 01:01:04,560
DOWNTOWN  WE HAVE RANGERS 

1391
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:08,164
DEPLOYED  IN A NORTH AND SOUTH  

1392
01:01:08,164 --> 01:01:11,934
OF ZONE.  RECOGNIZING THAT NOT  

1393
01:01:11,934 --> 01:01:14,237
EVERY SINGLE PARK  IN OUR SYSTE 

1394
01:01:14,237 --> 01:01:17,640
 IS A PROBLEM PARK,  BUT WHAT I 

1395
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,144
THE BEST STRATEGY  IF WE HAD  

1396
01:01:21,144 --> 01:01:24,080
MORE RANGERS TO DEPLOY THEM  IN 

1397
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,517
THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY , AND  

1398
01:01:27,517 --> 01:01:29,052
WAYS THAT MAKE SENSE TO THE 

1399
01:01:29,052 --> 01:01:36,192
PUBLIC.  WE WILL GO THROUGH THA 

1400
01:01:36,192 --> 01:01:39,996
EXERCISE.  I IMAGINE IN EVERY  

1401
01:01:39,996 --> 01:01:42,465
DISTRICT THERE ARE PARKS  THAT  

1402
01:01:42,465 --> 01:01:44,734
HAVE MORE OF A NEED  FOR PARK  

1403
01:01:44,734 --> 01:01:48,137
RANGERS THAN OTHERS.  WE WANT T 

1404
01:01:48,137 --> 01:01:53,342
ASSESS THAT.  WE THINK THIS  

1405
01:01:53,342 --> 01:01:54,343
PROGRAM IS SCALABLE AND CANNOT  

1406
01:01:54,343 --> 01:01:55,378
BE RAMPED UP. THE CURRENT  

1407
01:01:55,378 --> 01:01:56,379
LIMITATION IS WITH AN AGREEMENT 

1408
01:01:56,379 --> 01:01:59,215
THE CITY MADE  A FEW YEARS AGO. 

1409
01:01:59,215 --> 01:02:04,987
 WHICH  LIMITS PARK RANGERS TO  

1410
01:02:04,987 --> 01:02:08,658
