00:18:44,189 --> 00:18:44,790
GENERAL FUND PROVIDES ALMOST 

200
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:46,058
HALF OF THE DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET

201
00:18:46,058 --> 00:18:47,326

WHICH IS NOT SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE

241
00:20:07,272 --> 00:20:08,774
EXCEPT IN THE LITTLE FOOTNOTE AT

242
00:20:08,774 --> 00:20:10,842
THE BOTTOM. SO THERE IS ANOTHER 

243
00:20:10,842 --> 00:20:16,181
7 MILLION FOR THAT. OKAY. OH, 

244
00:20:16,181 --> 00:20:17,349

IN OUR OVERALL DEPARTMENT BUDGET

256
00:20:39,004 --> 00:20:40,672
PRESENTATION A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE

257
00:20:40,672 --> 00:20:42,608
BELIEVE THAT PUBLIC SERVING 

258
00:20:42,608 --> 00:20:43,208
ORGANIZATIONS WORK BEST WHEN 

259
00:20:43,208 --> 00:20:44,776
THEY ARE MISSION DRIVEN AND 

260
00:20:44,776 --> 00:20:47,613
GUIDED BY ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES.

261
00:20:47,613 --> 00:20:49,281
AS WE APPROACH THE BIENNIAL 

262
00:20:49,281 --> 00:20:52,217
BUDGETING PROCESS, WE PRIORITIZE

263
00:20:52,217 --> 00:20:52,718
DELIVERING SERVICES FOR 

264
00:20:52,718 --> 00:20:54,753
COMMUNITY AND ENSURING OUR

00:20:56,455 --> 00:20:58,590
PART OF DEVELOPING THIS PEOPLE 

267
00:20:58,590 --> 00:21:00,325
FIRST BUDGET, WE REVIEWED 

268
00:21:00,325 --> 00:21:01,193
BASELINE BUDGETS FOR 

269
00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:03,562
EFFICIENCIES AND POTENTIAL 

270
00:21:03,562 --> 00:21:05,530
FUNDING REALIGNMENTS TO MITIGATE

271
00:21:05,530 --> 00:21:07,733
GENERAL FUND REVENUE SHORTFALLS.

272
00:21:07,733 --> 00:21:10,302

273
00:21:10,302 --> 00:21:10,936
FUNDING REALIGNMENTS RECOGNIZE 

274
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:12,704
WHERE WE ARE UNCERTAIN. PARK 

275
00:21:12,704 --> 00:21:14,773
DISTRICT PROJECTS AND HOW THAT 

276
00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:16,575
INFORMS SPENDING PLANS FOR THE 

277
00:21:16,575 --> 00:21:18,777
UPCOMING BIENNIUM IN DEVELOPING 

278
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:19,645
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS, WE ARE 

279
00:21:19,645 --> 00:21:21,546
MINDFUL OF OUR PARK DISTRICT 

280
00:21:21,546 --> 00:21:23,315
CYCLE TWO COMMITMENTS AND OUR 

281
00:21:23,315 --> 00:21:25,450
BASELINE SERVICE LEVELS. BUT WE 

282
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:26,451
ALSO HEARD THE COUNCIL AND THEIR

283
00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:28,320
DESIRE TO HAVE MORE INFORMED 

284
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,822
CAPITAL BUDGETS AND LESS CAPITAL

285
00:21:30,822 --> 00:21:31,523
CARRY FORWARD. THIS REVIEW 

286
00:21:31,523 --> 00:21:33,125
INCLUDED A DEEP DIVE ON 

287
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:34,960
COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT 

288
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,762
SCHEDULES AND PARK DISTRICT FUND

289
00:21:36,762 --> 00:21:37,896
BALANCE. AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE 

290
00:21:37,896 --> 00:21:39,731
UPCOMING SLIDES, SOME OF THE 

291
00:21:39,731 --> 00:21:41,400
IDENTIFIED CAPACITY FROM THAT 

292
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,702
REVIEW IS PROPOSED TO OFFSET 

293
00:21:43,702 --> 00:21:45,037
GENERAL FUND, AND SOME IS 

294
00:21:45,037 --> 00:21:49,341
PROPOSED TO MEET EMERGENT NEEDS.

295
00:21:49,341 --> 00:21:52,110
THIS SLIDE IS A WILD SLIDE. UM, 

296
00:21:52,110 --> 00:21:53,812
BUT. WE WERE WONDERING WHY YOU 

297
00:21:53,812 --> 00:21:55,280

298
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,049
YOU USED TO. DO YOU. I'M 

299
00:21:57,049 --> 00:21:58,917
GUESSING ON NOVEMBER 20th YOU'LL

300
00:21:58,917 --> 00:22:00,485
HAVE THE WHOLE, THE WHOLE, NOT 

301
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:02,921
JUST THIS LITTLE, LITTLE ONE. WE

302
00:22:02,921 --> 00:22:04,056
BREAK IT OUT IN THE NEXT TWO 

303
00:22:04,056 --> 00:22:06,058
SLIDES TOO. SO THIS IS JUST TO 

304
00:22:06,058 --> 00:22:08,026
GIVE YOU ALL A BIG PICTURE OF 

305
00:22:08,026 --> 00:22:10,395
THE FOUR KEY CHANGES THAT WE'RE

306
00:22:10,395 --> 00:22:11,329
PROPOSING IN THE IN THE PARK 

307
00:22:11,329 --> 00:22:15,567
DISTRICT BUDGET. UM, THERE'S 

308
00:22:15,567 --> 00:22:16,201
TWO THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE 

309
00:22:16,201 --> 00:22:17,502
TECHNICAL. AND THEN WE'LL BUILD

310
00:22:17,502 --> 00:22:19,705
OUT AND DEEP DIVE INTO THE 

311
00:22:19,705 --> 00:22:21,073
OPERATING CHANGES AND THE 

312
00:22:21,073 --> 00:22:21,907
CAPITAL CHANGES ON THE NEXT 

313
00:22:21,907 --> 00:22:24,743
SLIDE. BUT I DO WANT TO COVER A 

314
00:22:24,743 --> 00:22:26,678
COUPLE QUICK THINGS ON THIS 

315
00:22:26,678 --> 00:22:28,680
SLIDE FIRST, UM, WHICH IS I KNOW

316
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:29,915
IT'S TINY, BUT ON THE RIGHT 

317
00:22:29,915 --> 00:22:32,484
HAND SIDE, THE VERY, VERY TOP 

318
00:22:32,484 --> 00:22:33,585
LINE, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT 

319
00:22:33,585 --> 00:22:37,389
THAT THE PROPERTY TAXES IN THE 

320
00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:39,224
BASELINE BUDGET THAT WAS ASSUMED

321
00:22:39,224 --> 00:22:41,827
IN THE ORIGINAL FINANCIAL PLAN 

322
00:22:41,827 --> 00:22:45,097
OF THE 137 MILLION, IS UNCHANGED

323
00:22:45,097 --> 00:22:46,798
FROM THE PROPOSED. SO OUR 

324
00:22:46,798 --> 00:22:48,834
OVERALL APPROACH TO THIS PARK 

325
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:51,236
DISTRICT BUDGET HAS NO CHANGE ON

326
00:22:51,236 --> 00:22:53,772
THE OVERALL TAXING AUTHORITY 

327
00:22:53,772 --> 00:22:54,940
THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR YOU 

328
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:56,608
TODAY. I SEE THAT'S WHY IT'S IN

329
00:22:56,608 --> 00:22:58,977
YELLOW TO MARK THE BUDGET 

330
00:22:58,977 --> 00:23:00,278
NEUTRAL TECHNICAL. THOSE WILL 

331
00:23:00,278 --> 00:23:01,813
BE. THE NEXT ONES WILL BE THE 

332
00:23:01,813 --> 00:23:03,582
HIGHLIGHT. BUT ON THE VERY, VERY

333
00:23:03,582 --> 00:23:06,585
TOP OF. THE I SEE IT. YEP. THANK

334
00:23:06,585 --> 00:23:11,089
YOU. OKAY. UM MOVING TO THE 

335
00:23:11,089 --> 00:23:11,723
TECHNICAL CHANGES, I WANT TO 

336
00:23:11,723 --> 00:23:13,959
BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO TWO 

337
00:23:13,959 --> 00:23:15,260
THINGS HIGHLIGHTED IN THAT TOP 

338
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:16,962
CATEGORY AND SHOWN ON THE RIGHT 

339
00:23:16,962 --> 00:23:22,768
IN THE YELLOW, UM, THERE IS A 

340
00:23:22,768 --> 00:23:26,371
PROPOSED BUDGET INCLUDES A 

341
00:23:26,371 --> 00:23:27,005
REAPPROPRIATION OF APPROXIMATELY

342
00:23:27,005 --> 00:23:29,374
$740,000 IN WATERFRONT 

343
00:23:29,374 --> 00:23:31,710
UNDERSPEND INTO THE SEATTLE 

344
00:23:31,710 --> 00:23:33,612
CENTER'S BUDGET IN 2027. AND 

345
00:23:33,612 --> 00:23:35,647
THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN IN 

346
00:23:35,647 --> 00:23:37,149
YELLOW. IN ADDITION, THE 

347
00:23:37,149 --> 00:23:39,651
PROPOSED BUDGET DOES MAKE SOME 

348
00:23:39,651 --> 00:23:41,753
TYPICAL TECHNICAL BUDGET CHANGES

349
00:23:41,753 --> 00:23:43,722
ASSOCIATED WITH CITY WIDE COSTS 

350
00:23:43,722 --> 00:23:44,322
LIKE HEALTH CARE, RETIREMENT, 

351
00:23:44,322 --> 00:23:46,625
AND OTHER CENTRAL COSTS ACROSS 

352
00:23:46,625 --> 00:23:48,360
ALL OF OUR LINES OF BUSINESS AND

353
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:50,595
FUNDING SOURCES. SO WHILE THOSE 

354
00:23:50,595 --> 00:23:52,397
ARE HIGHLIGHTED, IF YOU LOOK IN 

355
00:23:52,397 --> 00:23:54,599
ANY PARTICULAR LINE, YOU MAY SEE

356
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:56,034
A $10,000 ADJUSTMENT OR 

357
00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:57,502
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND THAT'S

358
00:23:57,502 --> 00:23:59,271
JUST RELATED TO THOSE CENTRAL 

359
00:23:59,271 --> 00:24:01,506
COSTS FOR HEALTH CARE. AND IT 

360
00:24:01,506 --> 00:24:04,643
SERVICES, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

361
00:24:04,643 --> 00:24:05,677
THE NEXT THING I'D LIKE TO 

362
00:24:05,677 --> 00:24:07,145
HIGHLIGHT ON THIS SLIDE IS IN 

363
00:24:07,145 --> 00:24:09,514
THE GREEN FOR THE GENERAL FUND 

364
00:24:09,514 --> 00:24:11,550

THE CHANGES. AND ALL OF THOSE 

605
00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:54,906
WOULD BE REFLECTED IN THE 

606
00:32:54,906 --> 00:32:57,041
PROPOSED LEGISLATION. SO FOR THE

607
00:32:57,041 --> 00:32:58,676
PUBLIC HEARING TODAY AND ALSO

00:33:04,582 --> 00:33:06,651
FOUR BUDGET RESOLUTIONS THAT

WOULD BE REQUIRED TO ADOPT THE 

612
00:33:09,187 --> 00:33:11,356
2027 BUDGET AND ESTABLISH THE 

613
00:33:11,356 --> 00:33:14,125
PROPERTY TAX COLLECTION FOR

00:33:16,794 --> 00:33:18,930
IN WITH ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS,

616
00:33:18,930 --> 00:33:20,531
BUT THE FIRST RESOLUTION, 

617
00:33:20,531 --> 00:33:25,069
RESOLUTION 80, IS OUR STANDARD 

618
00:33:25,069 --> 00:33:25,670
BUDGET RESOLUTION RESOLUTION 

619
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:29,407
THAT ADOPTS THE BUDGET BY B, S 

620
00:33:29,407 --> 00:33:33,845
L, AND THAT IS OUTLINED IN 

621
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:34,479
ATTACHMENT AYE AND AN ATTACHMENT

622
00:33:34,479 --> 00:33:38,116
B. YOU SEE THAT FULL UM PARK 

623
00:33:38,116 --> 00:33:39,617
DISTRICT FINANCIAL PLAN THAT WE 

624
00:33:39,617 --> 00:33:42,053
WERE SHOWING PARTS OF ON THE 

625
00:33:42,053 --> 00:33:44,856
SCREEN TODAY. RESOLUTION 81 IS 

626
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:47,392
THE STANDARD RESOLUTION ALSO 

627
00:33:47,392 --> 00:33:49,460
REFERRED TO AS THE SHORT 

628
00:33:49,460 --> 00:33:51,562
PROPERTY TAX RESOLUTION, WHICH 

629
00:33:51,562 --> 00:33:55,233
AUTHORIZES THE TAX INCREASE IN 

630
00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:57,702
2027 AND RESOLUTION 82, LOVINGLY

631
00:33:57,702 --> 00:34:00,538
CALLED THE LONG PROPERTY TAX 

632
00:34:00,538 --> 00:34:03,374
RESOLUTION, SETS THE ACTUAL RATE

633
00:34:03,374 --> 00:34:07,512
AND THE RATE IS $0.44, WITH AN 

634
00:34:07,512 --> 00:34:11,382
ESTIMATED HOMEOWNERS IMPACT OF 

635
00:34:11,382 --> 00:34:14,285
$399 ANNUALLY. THE FINAL 

636
00:34:14,285 --> 00:34:17,054
RESOLUTION, AS YOU MENTIONED, UM

637
00:34:17,054 --> 00:34:19,157
PRESIDENT JUAREZ SETS THE 

638
00:34:19,157 --> 00:34:21,325
MEETING DATES FOR NEXT YEAR. BUT

639
00:34:21,325 --> 00:34:23,027
82 IS THE RESOLUTION THAT WE 

640
00:34:23,027 --> 00:34:24,462
LOOK AT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE 

641
00:34:24,462 --> 00:34:29,100
TAX RATE AND INCREASING IT. UM, 

642
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:32,170
IN 2026 TO 0.44 TO IN 2027 TO 

643
00:34:32,170 --> 00:34:35,406
0.443, YES. SO CAN YOU JUST FOR 

644
00:34:35,406 --> 00:34:37,341
THOSE OF US THAT ARE STILL HAVE 

645
00:34:37,341 --> 00:34:40,411
TO CATCH UP ON THE HOMEOWNER 

646
00:34:40,411 --> 00:34:42,180
IMPACT ON THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, 

647
00:34:42,180 --> 00:34:45,883
WHAT THAT MEANS? SO THAT MEANS 

648
00:34:45,883 --> 00:34:52,356
AN AVERAGE HOME OWNER, WHICH, 

649
00:34:52,356 --> 00:34:53,257
UH. LOOKS LIKE 391 IN 2026, 

650
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:55,059
RIGHT? YEAH. THE ACTUAL TAX RATE

651
00:34:55,059 --> 00:35:00,731
ISN'T CHANGING MUCH AT ALL, BUT

652
00:35:00,731 --> 00:35:01,332
THE HOMEOWNER IMPACT ROUNDED 

653
00:35:01,332 --> 00:35:02,867
BASED ON THE, THE MEDIAN HOME 

654
00:35:02,867 --> 00:35:05,169
OWNER WOULD BE, UM, SUPPORTING 

655
00:35:05,169 --> 00:35:07,972
PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES AT

656
00:35:07,972 --> 00:35:09,774
$399. SO THIS IS WHAT I 

657
00:35:09,774 --> 00:35:10,942
UNDERSTAND ON THE MATH BECAUSE I

658
00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:12,710
SEE THIS A LITTLE FOOTNOTE DOWN 

659
00:35:12,710 --> 00:35:15,346
HERE THAT 81 IS CONNECTED TO THE

660
00:35:15,346 --> 00:35:17,181
AT THE BOTTOM BOX THAT YOU HAVE.

661
00:35:17,181 --> 00:35:22,220
SO IF AT 2026, IT'S $0.44, 

662
00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:28,459
RIGHT? SO IN 2027 IT BE 44. 

663
00:35:28,459 --> 00:35:31,762
CENTS. WELL, SAYS 443. YES. SO 

664
00:35:31,762 --> 00:35:32,396
JUST THAT LITTLE INCREASE BUMPS 

665
00:35:32,396 --> 00:35:36,701
IT TO 391 TO 399 $8. JUST THAT. 

666
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:38,569
LITTLE BIT. IT'S ALSO USING THE

667
00:35:38,569 --> 00:35:41,105
WHAT'S CHANGING ABOUT THE 

668
00:35:41,105 --> 00:35:44,575
MEDIAN HOMEOWNER COST. SO IT'S 

669
00:35:44,575 --> 00:35:46,210
IT'S IT'S MULTI VARIABLE. 

670
00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:47,945
OKAY. SO WE SHOULDN'T THIS 

671
00:35:47,945 --> 00:35:50,348
WON'T BE A FINAL NUMBER. 

672
00:35:50,348 --> 00:35:51,916
CORRECT. IT'S AN ESTIMATE 

673
00:35:51,916 --> 00:35:53,284
THAT'S GIVEN TO THE KING COUNTY

674
00:35:53,284 --> 00:35:55,820
ASSESSOR, BUT THEY ACTUALLY 

675
00:35:55,820 --> 00:35:58,222
COLLECT THE TAX REVENUE AT THAT 

676
00:35:58,222 --> 00:35:59,357
137 MILLION THAT YOU SET AT THE 

677
00:35:59,357 --> 00:36:04,829
OVERALL BUDGET. OKAY. I JUST 

678
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:05,463
WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD

679
00:36:05,463 --> 00:36:06,397
AND MAYBE THE PUBLIC, BECAUSE I 

680
00:36:06,397 --> 00:36:08,099
KNOW I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED. 

681
00:36:08,099 --> 00:36:08,866
JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR ON THE 

682
00:36:08,866 --> 00:36:10,434
INCREASE IN THE PROPERTY TAX 

683
00:36:10,434 --> 00:36:11,569
RATE AND WHAT THAT ACTUALLY 

684
00:36:11,569 --> 00:36:15,439
COMES OUT TO EACH HOUSEHOLD FOR 

685
00:36:15,439 --> 00:36:16,240
PARKS. ESTIMATED, ESTIMATED. 

686
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:17,675
I'M SORRY IF THEIR MEDIAN. 

687
00:36:17,675 --> 00:36:22,847
ESTIMATED. THANK YOU. OKAY 

688
00:36:22,847 --> 00:36:23,714
KARINA. DID I MISS ANYTHING ON 

689
00:36:23,714 --> 00:36:24,649
THAT ONE? I THINK YOU COVERED 

690
00:36:24,649 --> 00:36:27,652
IT. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. SO 

691
00:36:27,652 --> 00:36:29,320
WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO OPEN 

692
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:29,921
THE FLOOR TO MY COLLEAGUES IF 

693
00:36:29,921 --> 00:36:32,290
THEY HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING 

694
00:36:32,290 --> 00:36:33,024
FOR ANYONE, FOR ANY OF OUR 

695
00:36:33,024 --> 00:36:38,396
GUESTS AT THE PANEL. NO. OH, 

696
00:36:38,396 --> 00:36:40,197
YEAH. GOOD. COUNCILMEMBER LIN. 

697
00:36:40,197 --> 00:36:40,998
YEAH. THANK YOU. UM, COULD YOU 

698
00:36:40,998 --> 00:36:45,570
GO BACK TO THAT LAST SLIDE? UM 

699
00:36:45,570 --> 00:36:51,342
THE TAX RATE, UM, SO THE, THE 

700
00:36:51,342 --> 00:36:53,044
OVERALL AMOUNT THAT WE'RE 

701
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,946
COLLECTING, IS THAT CHANGING OR 

702
00:36:54,946 --> 00:36:58,282
IS THAT STAYING THE SAME IT IS. 

703
00:36:58,282 --> 00:37:02,587
CHANGING IT. IF IT IS SET AT 

704
00:37:02,587 --> 00:37:05,423
THIS VERY TOP LINE OF THE 

705
00:37:05,423 --> 00:37:08,259
FINANCIAL PLAN. SO IT'S UM, FOR,

706
00:37:08,259 --> 00:37:11,462
FOR 2027, IT WOULD BE THE 137 

707
00:37:11,462 --> 00:37:13,864
MILLION. AND THAT HAS AN 

708
00:37:13,864 --> 00:37:15,499
INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENT EVERY 

709
00:37:15,499 --> 00:37:17,768
YEAR. BUT IN THE PARK DISTRICT 

710
00:37:17,768 --> 00:37:20,237
FINANCIAL PLAN, THERE IS NOT A 

711
00:37:20,237 --> 00:37:22,940
CHANGE BETWEEN WHAT THE COUNCIL 

712
00:37:22,940 --> 00:37:25,543
AND THE PARK DISTRICT BOARD 

713
00:37:25,543 --> 00:37:27,345
WOULD HAVE APPROVED IN 2022 FOR 

714
00:37:27,345 --> 00:37:29,246
WHAT WAS ASSUMED TO BE COLLECTED

715
00:37:29,246 --> 00:37:31,115
IN 2027. AND WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY

716
00:37:31,115 --> 00:37:35,886
PROPOSING TO COLLECT. SO WE ARE 

717
00:37:35,886 --> 00:37:36,487
CONSISTENT WITH THE FINANCIAL 

718
00:37:36,487 --> 00:37:38,389
PLAN, BUT IT DOES INCREASE OVER 

719
00:37:38,389 --> 00:37:41,892
2026. RECOGNIZING INFLATIONARY 

720
00:37:41,892 --> 00:37:43,828
COSTS. UM. GOT IT. AND COULD YOU

721
00:37:43,828 --> 00:37:45,763
GO BACK TO THAT? THE OTHER SLIDE

722
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:52,136
IS AGAIN SO THAT'S IS THAT SO 

723
00:37:52,136 --> 00:37:52,637

00:43:55,132 --> 00:43:56,100
THE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE PLAN. 

904
00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:58,802
SO THAT COULD BE A PLACE THAT WE

905
00:43:58,802 --> 00:44:01,338
CAN KIND OF LOOK AT IS 

906
00:44:01,338 --> 00:44:03,874
ADDITIONAL BRICK AND MORTAR 

907
00:44:03,874 --> 00:44:05,476
NEEDED FOR TEEN PROGRAMS, OR CAN

908
00:44:05,476 --> 00:44:08,545
WE LEVERAGE OUR BUILDINGS AND 

909
00:44:08,545 --> 00:44:09,947
SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND DO OTHER 

910
00:44:09,947 --> 00:44:11,148
THINGS AS WELL, WHICH I THINK, 

911
00:44:11,148 --> 00:44:13,350
YOU KNOW, THESE BUILDINGS DO 

912
00:44:13,350 --> 00:44:14,585
COST A LOT OF MONEY TO BUILD. SO

913
00:44:14,585 --> 00:44:16,320
IF WE CAN LEVERAGE WHAT WE HAVE 

914
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,155
IN OUR INVENTORY, WE ALSO WANT 

915
00:44:18,155 --> 00:44:19,490
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING 

916
00:44:19,490 --> 00:44:21,859
THAT AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

917
00:44:21,859 --> 00:44:22,593
SO I THINK ONE THING THAT I'M 

918
00:44:22,593 --> 00:44:24,194
SORRY. GO AHEAD. NO, I JUST SAID

919
00:44:24,194 --> 00:44:26,430
I WOULD LOVE TO CONNECT MORE 

920
00:44:26,430 --> 00:44:27,564
NEXT NEXT YEAR. ONCE YOU HAVE 

921
00:44:27,564 --> 00:44:29,400
THAT CONSULTANT ON BOARD ON HOW 

922
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,001
TO BE A PART OF THAT. THAT WAS 

923
00:44:31,001 --> 00:44:32,636
WHAT I WAS GOING TO THANK YOU 

924
00:44:32,636 --> 00:44:33,270
FOR THAT. I WAS GOING TO JUST 

925
00:44:33,270 --> 00:44:34,905
SAY, I THINK SOME OF THE 

926
00:44:34,905 --> 00:44:37,408
CONFUSION AND WELL, NOT I'M NOT

927
00:44:37,408 --> 00:44:38,876
SAYING YOU'RE CONFUSED, 

928
00:44:38,876 --> 00:44:40,778
COUNCILMEMBER LIN, BUT CAN YOU 

929
00:44:40,778 --> 00:44:43,347
JUST BRIEFLY EXPLAIN HOW WE HAVE

930
00:44:43,347 --> 00:44:45,983
THE SEATTLE PARK DISTRICT? WE 

931
00:44:45,983 --> 00:44:49,086
DON'T. ARE WE STILL AND WE HAVE

932
00:44:49,086 --> 00:44:50,220
THE BOARD? I THOUGHT WE COMBINE 

933
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:52,122
THOSE TWO. ARE WE STILL SAYING 

934
00:44:52,122 --> 00:44:53,590
METROPOLITAN PARK DISTRICT? AM I

935
00:44:53,590 --> 00:44:55,559
GETTING THIS WRONG ON THE ON ALL

936
00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:56,260
THE NAMES, THE ALPHABET. WE. 

937
00:44:56,260 --> 00:44:58,062
CALL IT THE SEATTLE PARK 

938
00:44:58,062 --> 00:44:59,830
DISTRICT, BUT WE DON'T CALL IT 

939
00:44:59,830 --> 00:45:03,534
SPD. SO WE THEN USE MPD, FOR 

940
00:45:03,534 --> 00:45:04,968
WHICH WE KEEP TRYING TO NOT HAVE

941
00:45:04,968 --> 00:45:06,203
ANY DOCUMENTS. SO WE ARE THE 

942
00:45:06,203 --> 00:45:09,173
SEATTLE PARK DISTRICT. UM, AND 

943
00:45:09,173 --> 00:45:11,842
YOU ALL ARE THE BOARD. AND THEN 

944
00:45:11,842 --> 00:45:12,843
WE HAVE THE ADVISORY GROUP, 

945
00:45:12,843 --> 00:45:15,112
WHICH IS THE BOARD OF PARKS AND 

946
00:45:15,112 --> 00:45:17,047
RECREATION COMMISSIONERS, WHICH 

947
00:45:17,047 --> 00:45:21,051
ADVISE US AND YOU ALL BOTH ON 

948
00:45:21,051 --> 00:45:22,086
PARK AND RECREATION PROGRAMS FOR

949
00:45:22,086 --> 00:45:24,655
ALL OF THE. RIGHT. AND I THINK 

950
00:45:24,655 --> 00:45:26,090
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM, THE 

951
00:45:26,090 --> 00:45:27,291
ISSUE IS DURING BUDGET WITH SOME

952
00:45:27,291 --> 00:45:28,025
OF MY COLLEAGUES AND I HAD THE 

953
00:45:28,025 --> 00:45:30,627
SAME ISSUE TOO, IS IN 

954
00:45:30,627 --> 00:45:33,764
COUNCILMEMBER LIN KIND OF 

955
00:45:33,764 --> 00:45:34,298
UNDERSCORED THIS. ELECTED 

956
00:45:34,298 --> 00:45:36,033
OFFICIALS, COUNCILMEMBERS WANT 

957
00:45:36,033 --> 00:45:38,569
TO KNOW HOW TO ACCESS AND GET, 

958
00:45:38,569 --> 00:45:42,172
UM, IN FRONT OF OR LET THEIR 

959
00:45:42,172 --> 00:45:45,175
CONCERNS OR NEEDS KNOWN TO THE 

960
00:45:45,175 --> 00:45:46,276
COMMISSIONERS WHAT KIND OF 

961
00:45:46,276 --> 00:45:47,678
PROJECTS THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE 

962
00:45:47,678 --> 00:45:50,547
IN THEIR DISTRICT. BECAUSE BY 

963
00:45:50,547 --> 00:45:52,216
THE TIME IT GETS HERE, IT'S, 

964
00:45:52,216 --> 00:45:53,517
IT'S ALREADY BAKED. THE 

965
00:45:53,517 --> 00:45:56,019
OVERSIGHT BOARD HAS ALREADY TOLD

966
00:45:56,019 --> 00:45:57,387
SCL PARKS DISTRICT AND THEN 

967
00:45:57,387 --> 00:45:58,522
TELLS US. SO THERE'S NOT A LOT 

968
00:45:58,522 --> 00:45:59,623
OF WIGGLE ROOM. SO WHAT YOU 

969
00:45:59,623 --> 00:46:01,291
WOULD HAVE WITH NEWER 

970
00:46:01,291 --> 00:46:02,860
COUNCILMEMBERS AND SOME OTHER, 

971
00:46:02,860 --> 00:46:04,027
INCLUDING ME, IS, UM, AND I'VE 

972
00:46:04,027 --> 00:46:05,796
HAD A FEW COUNCILMEMBER WOO, I 

973
00:46:05,796 --> 00:46:07,998
WOULD SAY I THINK THAT'S A 

974
00:46:07,998 --> 00:46:09,600
METROPOLITAN PARK DISTRICT 

975
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,135
BUCKET OF MONEY THAT YOU MAY BE 

976
00:46:11,135 --> 00:46:12,669
ABLE TO ACCESS, LIKE FOR TURF OR

977
00:46:12,669 --> 00:46:14,138
FOR LIGHTS FOR WHY THE 

978
00:46:14,138 --> 00:46:15,272
INITIATIVE WAS PASSED. WAS IT 

979
00:46:15,272 --> 00:46:17,708
PASSED IN 2015? PARKS. IT WAS 

980
00:46:17,708 --> 00:46:20,511
AT. 41st ONE WAS 2014, AND THEN 

981
00:46:20,511 --> 00:46:21,778
WE DID 1 IN 2022. RIGHT. SO WE 

982
00:46:21,778 --> 00:46:24,448
DID. BUT WHEN WE DID THE 1 IN 

983
00:46:24,448 --> 00:46:26,750
2014, WHICH WAS A GREAT IDEA 

984
00:46:26,750 --> 00:46:28,285
BECAUSE WE TOLD THE VOTERS, 

985
00:46:28,285 --> 00:46:29,219
YOU'RE GOING TO PAY A TAX IN 

986
00:46:29,219 --> 00:46:31,922
THIS MONEY IS ONLY GOING TO GO 

987
00:46:31,922 --> 00:46:33,390
TO PARKS. AND THAT WAS GREAT. 

988
00:46:33,390 --> 00:46:36,026
AND THEN IN 2022, IF I REMEMBER 

989
00:46:36,026 --> 00:46:36,894
CORRECTLY, WELL, YOU HELPED ME. 

990
00:46:36,894 --> 00:46:38,996
WHAT DID WE DO IN 2022? DO YOU 

991
00:46:38,996 --> 00:46:41,031
REMEMBER? WE DID THE NEXT SIX 

992
00:46:41,031 --> 00:46:42,232
YEAR PLAN, RIGHT? WE DID, WHICH 

993
00:46:42,232 --> 00:46:48,972
WAS THROUGH 2028. AND THAT TO 

994
00:46:48,972 --> 00:46:49,806
YOUR POINT, I THINK CAME THROUGH

995
00:46:49,806 --> 00:46:51,508
THE BOARD OF PARKS AND 

996
00:46:51,508 --> 00:46:52,442
RECREATION COMMISSIONERS WITH A 

997
00:46:52,442 --> 00:46:54,778
RECOMMENDATION TO YOU, THE MAYOR

998
00:46:54,778 --> 00:46:57,948
AND THE SUPERINTENDENT. ALL OF 

999
00:46:57,948 --> 00:46:59,550
WHICH, UM, YOU GUYS THEN MADE 

1000
00:46:59,550 --> 00:47:00,717
SOME CHANGES BASED ON. BUT IN 

1001
00:47:00,717 --> 00:47:01,585
THE SIX YEAR PLAN, WE HAD TO 

1002
00:47:01,585 --> 00:47:02,886
DELAY IT ONE YEAR BECAUSE OF 

1003
00:47:02,886 --> 00:47:04,688
COVID. DID WE NOT? YEARS. TWO 

1004
00:47:04,688 --> 00:47:09,359
YEARS. AND SO NEXT YEAR WOULD BE

1005
00:47:09,359 --> 00:47:12,196
THE YEAR 2028. RIGHT. THAT 

1006
00:47:12,196 --> 00:47:14,831
COUNCILMEMBERS CAN START HAVING 

1007
00:47:14,831 --> 00:47:15,332
DIRECT CONVERSATIONS OR 

1008
00:47:15,332 --> 00:47:17,134
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE OVERSIGHT

1009
00:47:17,134 --> 00:47:20,137
BOARD FOR PROJECTS, CAPITAL OR 

1010
00:47:20,137 --> 00:47:21,071
OPERATIONS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE 

1011
00:47:21,071 --> 00:47:26,410
TO SEE? IS THAT CORRECT? YES, 

1012
00:47:26,410 --> 00:47:27,878
ALTHOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO STAFF 

1013
00:47:27,878 --> 00:47:28,745
THAT FOR YOU. OKAY. WELL, I 

1014
00:47:28,745 --> 00:47:30,280
DON'T WANT TO GET IN THE WEEDS,

1015
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,381
BUT I THINK THEY DON'T KNOW HOW

1016
00:47:31,381 --> 00:47:33,083
TO UNLOCK THAT, THAT THOSE 

1017
00:47:33,083 --> 00:47:33,984
FUNDS. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING 

1018
00:47:33,984 --> 00:47:35,719
IS BECAUSE BY THE TIME IT GETS 

1019
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:36,720
HERE, THEN YOU HAVE 

1020
00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:38,488
COUNCILMEMBERS SAYING, WELL, WE 

1021
00:47:38,488 --> 00:47:39,723
NEED TURF OR WE WOULD NEED THE 

1022
00:47:39,723 --> 00:47:41,124
POOL FIXED OR AND I'M LIKE, 

1023
00:47:41,124 --> 00:47:42,259
IT'S ALREADY DONE. AND THEY'RE

1024
00:47:42,259 --> 00:47:43,193
LIKE, WELL, THEN HOW DO WE GET 

1025
00:47:43,193 --> 00:47:44,394
BACK IN? I'M LIKE, WELL, IT'S A

1026
00:47:44,394 --> 00:47:45,762
SIX YEAR PLAN. AND WE HAD TO 

1027
00:47:45,762 --> 00:47:48,198
DELAY IT TWO YEARS. SO I GUESS 

1028
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,801
I'M TRYING TO TEE UP FOR 

1029
00:47:50,801 --> 00:47:51,401
CONVERSATIONS IN 2028, GOING 

1030
00:47:51,401 --> 00:47:53,237
THROUGH YOU THAT COUNCILMEMBERS 

1031
00:47:53,237 --> 00:47:56,607
SHOULD COME TO YOU AND SAY, HEY 

1032
00:47:56,607 --> 00:47:57,841
DIRECTOR, INTERIM DIRECTOR, UM, 

1033
00:47:57,841 --> 00:47:59,009
IF YOU'RE STILL IF YOU'RE NOT 

1034
00:47:59,009 --> 00:48:01,278
DIRECTOR BY THEN, UM, THESE ARE 

1035
00:48:01,278 --> 00:48:02,012
THE THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO 

1036
00:48:02,012 --> 00:48:04,481
SEE, NOT JUST IN MY DISTRICT, 

1037
00:48:04,481 --> 00:48:05,983
BUT CITYWIDE. AND HOW DO WE 

1038
00:48:05,983 --> 00:48:07,517
ACCESS THOSE FUNDS? NO ONE'S 

1039
00:48:07,517 --> 00:48:08,418
EVER DONE LIKE A CHART OF LIKE, 

1040
00:48:08,418 --> 00:48:09,419
YOU START HERE AND THIS IS WHERE

1041
00:48:09,419 --> 00:48:11,021
YOU GO. EVEN I GET CONFUSED. 

1042
00:48:11,021 --> 00:48:12,823
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A DECADE. 

1043
00:48:12,823 --> 00:48:14,057
I THINK THAT'S WHAT 

1044
00:48:14,057 --> 00:48:14,658
COUNCILMEMBER LIN WAS GETTING 

1045
00:48:14,658 --> 00:48:16,360
AT. LIKE, IS IT, YOU KNOW, HOW 

1046
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:17,861
DO WE GET MORE BATHROOMS? YOU 

1047
00:48:17,861 --> 00:48:19,129
KNOW, HOW DO WE GET THE WADING 

1048
00:48:19,129 --> 00:48:21,131
POOLS OPENED UP MORE? HOW DO WE 

1049
00:48:21,131 --> 00:48:23,634
KEEP THE TEEN CENTERS? YOU KNOW,

1050
00:48:23,634 --> 00:48:26,069
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M

EXACTLY. AND NEXT JUNE, WE HAVE 

1053
00:48:30,774 --> 00:48:34,444
OUR WORK PLAN IS TO BRING YOU 

1054
00:48:34,444 --> 00:48:37,014
THE MID-CYCLE REPORT FOR THIS 

1055
00:48:37,014 --> 00:48:38,148
PARTICULAR CYCLE. AND I THINK 

1056
00:48:38,148 --> 00:48:39,249
THAT'S THE MOMENT WE CAN SAY, 

1057
00:48:39,249 --> 00:48:40,951
HERE'S HERE'S WHERE WE ARE IN 

1058
00:48:40,951 --> 00:48:43,787

SEEING. PLEASE TELL US WHAT

YOU'RE SEEING. I THINK THAT 

1061
00:48:46,356 --> 00:48:49,393
WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO DO IT 

1062
00:48:49,393 --> 00:48:50,927
AND THEN BAKE THAT INTO THE 

1063
00:48:50,927 --> 00:48:52,596
PROPOSAL MAKING. AND, UM, THAT 

1064
00:48:52,596 --> 00:48:55,832
WOULD GO TO THE BOARD OF PARK 

1065
00:48:55,832 --> 00:48:56,466
AND RECREATION COMMISSIONERS TO 

1066
00:48:56,466 --> 00:48:58,335

1075
00:49:11,615 --> 00:49:12,883
BUT BEFORE I GO TO COUNCILMEMBER

1076
00:49:12,883 --> 00:49:15,085
SAKA, WHO HAS HIS HAND UP, UM, 

1077
00:49:15,085 --> 00:49:16,687
I'M JUST SAYING THAT PERHAPS WE

1078
00:49:16,687 --> 00:49:18,188

NUMBERS. UM, SO IT LOOKS LIKE 

1102
00:50:02,165 --> 00:50:06,203
THERE'S A PROPOSED TRANSFER OF 

1103
00:50:06,203 --> 00:50:07,637
SOME MONEY FROM CAPITAL TO OPS 

1104
00:50:07,637 --> 00:50:10,340
AT A HIGH LEVEL, SPECIFICALLY $3

1105
00:50:10,340 --> 00:50:12,509
MILLION IN OFFSETTING CUTS FROM 

1106
00:50:12,509 --> 00:50:18,081
CAPITAL TO SUPPORT OPERATING 

1107
00:50:18,081 --> 00:50:22,018

SAMPLE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS THAT 

1113
00:50:38,268 --> 00:50:43,173
THAT MONEY WOULD TYPICALLY FUND?

1114
00:50:43,173 --> 00:50:45,709
AND THEN THE SECOND PART OF THE 

1115
00:50:45,709 --> 00:50:46,977
QUESTION IS BECAUSE, AND I KNOW 

1116
00:50:46,977 --> 00:50:48,879
YOU ALL WORK IN PLANS AND 

1117
00:50:48,879 --> 00:50:50,814

1119
00:50:56,353 --> 00:50:56,920
BECAUSE OF THIS SIGNIFICANT

00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,155
PROPOSED TRANSFER IN $3 MILLION 

1121
00:50:58,155 --> 00:51:02,359

1123
00:51:04,628 --> 00:51:07,731
WHAT GOT CUT OR DELAYED, WHICH 

1124
00:51:07,731 --> 00:51:10,901
SPECIFIC CAPITAL PROJECTS WERE 

1125
00:51:10,901 --> 00:51:13,270
CUT OR DELAYED TO ACCOMMODATE 

1126
00:51:13,270 --> 00:51:14,905
THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF $3 

1127
00:51:14,905 --> 00:51:17,240
MILLION? SO TWO PART QUESTION., 

1128
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:18,875
IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M GOING TO

1129
00:51:18,875 --> 00:51:21,077
GO TO THE SLIDE THAT HAS 

1130
00:51:21,077 --> 00:51:22,546
SLIGHTLY LARGER FONTS, BUT THE 

1131
00:51:22,546 --> 00:51:25,148
SAME INFORMATION. THIS 

1132
00:51:25,148 --> 00:51:26,850
LILLIPUTIAN WRITING HERE. SO 

1133
00:51:26,850 --> 00:51:29,853
THIS IS THE SAME PART OF THE 

1134
00:51:29,853 --> 00:51:36,126
CAPITAL SIDE. UM, IF I CAN POINT

1135
00:51:36,126 --> 00:51:40,263
OUT UM. PAGE EIGHT. IT'S A BIG 

1136
00:51:40,263 --> 00:51:42,265
ONE. THERE'S A CATEGORY AND 

1137
00:51:42,265 --> 00:51:42,799
UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT 

1138
00:51:42,799 --> 00:51:44,835
HIGHLIGHTED ON THIS SLIDE. OKAY.

1139
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:45,869
UM, CALLED MAJOR MAINTENANCE 

1140
00:51:45,869 --> 00:51:48,472
OTHER. AND THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE

1141
00:51:48,472 --> 00:51:51,308
THE $3 MILLION REDUCTION. UM, 

1142
00:51:51,308 --> 00:51:54,611
THAT POT OF MONEY FOR US COVERS 

1143
00:51:54,611 --> 00:51:56,813
SOME OF OUR SMALLER, WHAT WE 

1144
00:51:56,813 --> 00:52:00,016
CALL ONGOING PROGRAMS. SO LIKE 

1145
00:52:00,016 --> 00:52:02,185
ROOF REPAIRS, DRAINAGE, UH, 

1146
00:52:02,185 --> 00:52:03,253
PAVEMENT RESTORATION, SOME OF 

1147
00:52:03,253 --> 00:52:04,821
THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. AND IT'S

1148
00:52:04,821 --> 00:52:08,925
ALSO THE PLACE THAT EACH YEAR WE

1149
00:52:08,925 --> 00:52:12,028
ARE ASSESSING WHAT'S HAPPENING 

1150
00:52:12,028 --> 00:52:13,430
RIGHT NOW AND MAKING SOME 

1151
00:52:13,430 --> 00:52:18,969
CHANGES. SO BEING A LITTLE BIT 

1152
00:52:18,969 --> 00:52:20,470
MORE, UM, ADAPTABLE TO WHAT 

1153
00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:21,538
WE'RE SEEING ON THE GROUND. SO 

1154
00:52:21,538 --> 00:52:23,840
AS AN EXAMPLE, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE

1155
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,610
A PROJECT UNDERWAY AT WEST 

1156
00:52:26,610 --> 00:52:27,777
SEATTLE STADIUM. THERE'S A 

1157
00:52:27,777 --> 00:52:29,179
CHANGE ORDER THAT NEEDS SOME 

1158
00:52:29,179 --> 00:52:30,146
MORE MONEY. WE WOULD GO TO 

1159
00:52:30,146 --> 00:52:30,881
SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND SAY, 

1160
00:52:30,881 --> 00:52:34,317
WE'RE GOING TO NEED WE HAD A WE

1161
00:52:34,317 --> 00:52:36,553
HAD A PROJECT, WE HAD AN 

1162
00:52:36,553 --> 00:52:37,687
ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE. WE GOT A 

1163
00:52:37,687 --> 00:52:39,823
BID. WE RUN INTO THIS SITUATION.

1164
00:52:39,823 --> 00:52:40,991
IT NEEDS SOME MORE MONEY. WE 

1165
00:52:40,991 --> 00:52:43,527
WOULD GO TO THIS PLACE AND MOVE 

1166
00:52:43,527 --> 00:52:47,497
MORE MONEY. SO IT COULD BE A 

1167
00:52:47,497 --> 00:52:50,734
DESIGN IS COMING IN HIGHER. WE 

1168
00:52:50,734 --> 00:52:52,969
WOULD GO TO THAT PLACE. IT COULD

1169
00:52:52,969 --> 00:52:56,139
BE THAT IT'S OCTOBER AND A ROOF

1170
00:52:56,139 --> 00:52:57,807
STARTS LEAKING, AND WE NEED TO 

1171
00:52:57,807 --> 00:52:59,442
RESPOND TO IT. SO WE PUT SOME 

1172
00:52:59,442 --> 00:53:00,777
MORE MONEY IN THE ROOF PROGRAM. 

1173
00:53:00,777 --> 00:53:03,380
SO IT'S THAT KIND OF 6400 

1174
00:53:03,380 --> 00:53:07,484
ACRES, HUNDREDS OF ASSETS. 

1175
00:53:07,484 --> 00:53:08,919
THAT'S THE KIND OF MAJOR 

1176
00:53:08,919 --> 00:53:11,388
MAINTENANCE OTHER AS OPPOSED TO,

1177
00:53:11,388 --> 00:53:13,156
YOU KNOW, WE SAY WE'RE GOING TO

1178
00:53:13,156 --> 00:53:14,624
DO X NUMBER OF PLAY AREAS EVERY 

1179
00:53:14,624 --> 00:53:16,426
YEAR AND Y NUMBER OF RESTROOM 

1180
00:53:16,426 --> 00:53:18,328
RENOVATIONS. THIS IS, UM, KIND 

1181
00:53:18,328 --> 00:53:24,801
OF COVERING SOME OF THE LESS, 

1182
00:53:24,801 --> 00:53:27,137
UH, COMMUNITY, FACING PROJECTS. 

1183
00:53:27,137 --> 00:53:28,872
IT'S MORE THE INFRASTRUCTURE 

1184
00:53:28,872 --> 00:53:31,141
PROJECTS. OKAY. SO CORRECT ME IF

1185
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,076
I'M WRONG RESPONSE TO YOUR 

1186
00:53:33,076 --> 00:53:36,112
FIRST QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE SOME

1187
00:53:36,112 --> 00:53:39,215
EXEMPLAR, ILLUSTRATIVE, UH, 

1188
00:53:39,215 --> 00:53:43,286
CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT THIS 

1189
00:53:43,286 --> 00:53:44,688
FUNDING WOULD ORDINARILY BE USED

1190
00:53:44,688 --> 00:53:47,057
TO FUND AND OR USE FOR? AND I 

1191
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:52,562
HEAR YOU SAY, LEAKY ROOFS, 

1192
00:53:52,562 --> 00:53:54,631
GUTTERS, UH, PAVEMENT 

1193
00:53:54,631 --> 00:53:58,068
CONDITIONS. AND I'M THINKING IN

1194
00:53:58,068 --> 00:54:00,837
SOUTHWEST TEEN LIFE CENTER RIGHT

1195
00:54:00,837 --> 00:54:02,172
NOW, THERE'S. THERE ARE ONE TOO

1196
00:54:02,172 --> 00:54:03,740
MANY POTHOLES FOR MY LIKING IN 

1197
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,075
THE PARKING LOT. AND WHEN YOU 

1198
00:54:05,075 --> 00:54:08,912
SAY REDUCES, UH, PAVEMENT 

1199
00:54:08,912 --> 00:54:09,879
CONDITIONS, MAINTENANCE BUDGET, 

1200
00:54:09,879 --> 00:54:11,081
UM, I GET GET A LITTLE 

1201
00:54:11,081 --> 00:54:16,186
HEARTBURN. UH, BUT SO, SO 

1202
00:54:16,186 --> 00:54:16,820
THAT'S THE FIRST PART OF THE 

1203
00:54:16,820 --> 00:54:17,621
QUESTION. AND THEN I ALSO HEAR 

1204
00:54:17,621 --> 00:54:18,788
YOU SAYING IT'S AT THE, 

1205
00:54:18,788 --> 00:54:22,926
PRIMARILY AT THE PROGRAM LEVEL, 

1206
00:54:22,926 --> 00:54:23,560
AS OPPOSED TO SPECIFIC PROJECTS 

1207
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,462
IN A, IN A, IN A CIP LIST, FOR 

1208
00:54:25,462 --> 00:54:27,597
EXAMPLE, IS ADMINISTERED AT THE 

1209
00:54:27,597 --> 00:54:28,965
PROGRAM LEVEL AND KIND OF ON AN 

1210
00:54:28,965 --> 00:54:31,001
AD HOC AS NEEDED. OH, LEAKY ROOF

1211
00:54:31,001 --> 00:54:34,371
OVER HERE, TOO MANY POTHOLES IN 

1212
00:54:34,371 --> 00:54:35,739
THIS PARKING LOT IN WEST 

1213
00:54:35,739 --> 00:54:37,073
SEATTLE, WHATEVER IT IS. AND 

1214
00:54:37,073 --> 00:54:38,341
THAT'S AND THAT'S KIND OF HOW 

1215
00:54:38,341 --> 00:54:41,911
IT'S ADMINISTERED. SO IS IT 

1216
00:54:41,911 --> 00:54:47,584
ALSO TRUE THEN THAT THERE ARE NO

1217
00:54:47,584 --> 00:54:50,820
MATERIAL OR SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL 

1218
00:54:50,820 --> 00:54:55,692
PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING CUT OR 

1219
00:54:55,692 --> 00:54:58,228
CUTS NOT DELAYED AS A DIRECT 

1220
00:54:58,228 --> 00:55:01,531
RESULT OF THE PROPOSED $3 

1221
00:55:01,531 --> 00:55:08,271
TRANSFER FROM CAPITAL. AS FAR AS

1222
00:55:08,271 --> 00:55:09,939
I UNDERSTAND IT, WE DID NOT HAVE

1223
00:55:09,939 --> 00:55:11,908
NAMED PROJECTS FOR THAT. NAME 

1224
00:55:11,908 --> 00:55:15,111
PROJECTS. BUT IT. BUT IT DOES 

1225
00:55:15,111 --> 00:55:17,514
IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO BE 

1226
00:55:17,514 --> 00:55:21,318
RESPONSIVE TO THINGS THAT ARE 

1227
00:55:21,318 --> 00:55:23,119
COMING UP IN 2027 THAT WE MAY 

1228
00:55:23,119 --> 00:55:25,021
NOT KNOW RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE 

1229
00:55:25,021 --> 00:55:29,426
AREN'T AT THAT POINT OF A 

1230
00:55:29,426 --> 00:55:31,561
CURRENT CAPITAL PROJECT OR AN 

1231
00:55:31,561 --> 00:55:32,529
ASSET IS FAILING IN A WAY. YOU 

1232
00:55:32,529 --> 00:55:33,830
KNOW, THE QUEEN ANNE POOL STUFF 

1233
00:55:33,830 --> 00:55:34,497
THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE,

1234
00:55:34,497 --> 00:55:39,169
YOU KNOW, THINGS HAPPEN MID YEAR

1235
00:55:39,169 --> 00:55:40,437
AND THIS IS A POT OF MONEY THAT 

1236
00:55:40,437 --> 00:55:42,472
WE WOULD GO TO FOR. GOT IT. SO 

1237
00:55:42,472 --> 00:55:43,973
IT REDUCES OUR ABILITY AND 

1238
00:55:43,973 --> 00:55:46,543
FLEXIBILITY TO BE RESPONSIVE TO 

1239
00:55:46,543 --> 00:55:47,777
EMERGING EMERGENT SORT OF 

1240
00:55:47,777 --> 00:55:49,746
CAPITAL NEEDS ON A KIND OF SPOT 

1241
00:55:49,746 --> 00:55:52,882
REPAIR OR IMPROVEMENT BASIS. UM,

1242
00:55:52,882 --> 00:55:55,285
WOULD THAT BE? WOULD THAT POT OF

1243
00:55:55,285 --> 00:55:58,922
MONEY BE ABLE TO COVER. 

1244
00:55:58,922 --> 00:56:02,459
MAINTENANCE UPGRADES AT EXISTING

1245
00:56:02,459 --> 00:56:04,794
RESTROOMS, ASSETS AND 

1246
00:56:04,794 --> 00:56:06,796
INFRASTRUCTURE? AND I ASK 

1247
00:56:06,796 --> 00:56:10,734
BECAUSE AS WE KNOW, THE 2025 

1248
00:56:10,734 --> 00:56:12,268
AUDIT REPORT FROM THE CITY 

1249
00:56:12,268 --> 00:56:15,238
AUDITOR'S OFFICE INCLUDED A 

1250
00:56:15,238 --> 00:56:16,272
NUMBER OF KEY FINDINGS, 

1251
00:56:16,272 --> 00:56:17,774
INCLUDING AT AT LEAST AT A HIGH 

1252
00:56:17,774 --> 00:56:20,276
LEVEL, THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE 

1253
00:56:20,276 --> 00:56:22,812
HAVE BECAUSE OF PERSISTENT 

1254
00:56:22,812 --> 00:56:24,748
GRAFFITI, UH, AND VANDALISM 

1255
00:56:24,748 --> 00:56:26,883
ACROSS OUR PARKS, RESTROOMS, AND

1256
00:56:26,883 --> 00:56:28,718
THE SIGNIFICANT STRAIN THAT IT 

1257
00:56:28,718 --> 00:56:31,187
IMPOSES ON, UH, YOU KNOW, 

1258
00:56:31,187 --> 00:56:33,223
OPERATIONS AND PERSONNEL TO 

1259
00:56:33,223 --> 00:56:34,858
CLEAN AND JUST IT'S LITERALLY 

1260
00:56:34,858 --> 00:56:36,226
THE WORST GAME OF WHACK A MOLE 

1261
00:56:36,226 --> 00:56:39,262
POSSIBLE. UM, AND ONE OF THE 

1262
00:56:39,262 --> 00:56:43,366
THINGS WE CAN DO TO ADDRESS THAT

1263
00:56:43,366 --> 00:56:46,302
IS HARDEN AND UPGRADE THOSE 

1264
00:56:46,302 --> 00:56:47,804
EXISTING ASSETS, MAKE THEM MORE 

1265
00:56:47,804 --> 00:56:49,439
TAMPER RESISTANT, GRAFFITI 

1266
00:56:49,439 --> 00:56:51,374
RESISTANT, HARDER TO VANDALIZE, 

1267
00:56:51,374 --> 00:56:53,543
EASIER TO CLEAN. IF IT DOES GET,

1268
00:56:53,543 --> 00:56:57,080
YOU KNOW, VANDALIZED OR DAMAGED.

1269
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,849
SO WOULD ANY OF THAT. ALL HAS TO

1270
00:56:59,849 --> 00:57:06,022
SAY IS THAT $3 MILLION? $3 

1271
00:57:06,022 --> 00:57:07,390
MILLION IN PROPOSED TRANSFER 

1272
00:57:07,390 --> 00:57:09,259
FROM THE CAPITAL, MAJOR 

1273
00:57:09,259 --> 00:57:10,860
MAINTENANCE FUNDS? COULD ANY OF 

1274
00:57:10,860 --> 00:57:13,696
THAT FUNDS BE USED TO SUPPORT 

1275
00:57:13,696 --> 00:57:14,898
CAPITAL UPGRADES IN RESTROOMS, 

1276
00:57:14,898 --> 00:57:18,268
IN EXISTING RESTROOMS YES. THERE

1277
00:57:18,268 --> 00:57:22,238

00:57:23,339 --> 00:57:25,074
WERE HERE TALKING ABOUT THE CITY

1280
00:57:25,074 --> 00:57:27,610
SIDE. I WILL JUST REMIND THAT WE

1281
00:57:27,610 --> 00:57:29,145
DID GET AN INCREMENT INCREASE IN

1282
00:57:29,145 --> 00:57:32,182
THE KING COUNTY LEVY RESOURCES 

1283
00:57:32,182 --> 00:57:33,716
TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, AND WE 

1284
00:57:33,716 --> 00:57:35,852
ARE PUTTING SOME MORE MONEY INTO

1285
00:57:35,852 --> 00:57:38,388
RESTROOMS THROUGH THAT FUNDING 

1286
00:57:38,388 --> 00:57:40,723
SOURCE. RESTROOM CAPITAL. YEAH.

IN. SO HERE. I'M JUST. I'M 

1292
00:57:56,806 --> 00:57:59,209
INTRIGUED, SURPRISED, AND

00:57:59,209 --> 00:58:02,045
CONFUSED THAT WE ARE PROPOSING 

1294
00:58:02,045 --> 00:58:03,713
TO CUT $3 MILLION OR TRANSFER $3

1295
00:58:03,713 --> 00:58:06,749

1297
00:58:08,485 --> 00:58:11,588

1298
00:58:11,588 --> 00:58:12,956

FOR FOR NEW ASSETS. THIS 

1303
00:58:22,432 --> 00:58:24,100
TRANSFER WOULD IMPEDE OUR 

1304
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:24,734
ABILITY TO PROPERLY LOOK AFTER 

1305
00:58:24,734 --> 00:58:28,104

1319
00:59:06,809 --> 00:59:08,711

BECAUSE PARKS ARE CRITICALLY 

1404
01:02:13,830 --> 01:02:15,631
IMPORTANT TO MY CONSTITUENTS. 

1405
01:02:15,631 --> 01:02:17,133
IT'S EXACTLY THE PROVINCE OF 

1406
01:02:17,133 --> 01:02:18,134
LOCAL GOVERNMENT. IT'S WHAT WE 

1407
01:02:18,134 --> 01:02:19,769

GET HEARTBURN. AND I'M CONFUSED

1411
01:02:24,006 --> 01:02:25,174
WHEN I HEAR BUILDING NEW SHINY 

1412
01:02:25,174 --> 01:02:26,309
THINGS, AND WE CAN'T EVEN LOOK 

1413
01:02:26,309 --> 01:02:27,777
AFTER OUR EXISTING THINGS THAT 

1414
01:02:27,777 --> 01:02:30,680
ARE DULL AND DIRTY AND NEED A 

1415
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,715

CONVERSATION WE HAVE PUBLICLY 

1420
01:02:40,823 --> 01:02:43,526

APPRECIATE THAT RELATIONSHIP. 

1422
01:02:44,727 --> 01:02:45,895

01:05:30,226 --> 01:05:35,264
A POTENTIAL RENEWAL? OF THE 28 

1498
01:05:35,264 --> 01:05:37,199
PARKS DISTRICT LEVY? GREAT 

1499
01:05:37,199 --> 01:05:39,101
QUESTION. UM, WE ARE WORKING

RIGHT NOW TO DEVELOP OUR 

1501
01:05:41,203 --> 01:05:43,339

01:05:43,339 --> 01:05:45,207
AND OPEN SPACE PLAN. LOTS OF 

1503
01:05:45,207 --> 01:05:46,976
PLANNING. UM, AND SO THAT I 

1504
01:05:46,976 --> 01:05:49,111
THINK WILL BE A PLACE WHERE 

1505
01:05:49,111 --> 01:05:50,947
COMMUNITY CAN REALLY ENGAGE ON 

1506
01:05:50,947 --> 01:05:52,848
WHAT THEIR PRIORITIES ARE AND 

1507
01:05:52,848 --> 01:05:54,884
SPECIFIC TO TURF WOULD. THAT'S 

1508
01:05:54,884 --> 01:05:56,385
AN ASSET THAT PARKS AND OPEN 

1509
01:05:56,385 --> 01:05:57,653
SPACE PLAN WILL BE LOOKING AT IN

1510
01:05:57,653 --> 01:05:59,088
TERMS OF CONDITION ASSESSMENT. 

1511
01:05:59,088 --> 01:06:00,923

01:06:13,035 --> 01:06:14,303
AGREEMENT. AND FIELDS ARE 

1518
01:06:14,303 --> 01:06:16,572
OBVIOUSLY A VERY KEY ELEMENT 

1519
01:06:16,572 --> 01:06:20,876
THERE. WE ALSO, UM, WELL, I SAY 

1520

1522
01:06:23,112 --> 01:06:24,981
WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR AGING 

1523
01:06:24,981 --> 01:06:27,683
POOLS AND THE USE OF THAT THE 

1524
01:06:27,683 --> 01:06:29,452
SCHOOLS HAVE OF THOSE POOLS AND 

1525
01:06:29,452 --> 01:06:31,821

THERE'LL BE SOME DIALOG OVER THE

1529
01:06:37,593 --> 01:06:40,363

QUESTION, I JUST GOT TO ASK 

1543
01:07:06,455 --> 01:07:07,089
BECAUSE RESTROOMS ARE IMPORTANT.

1544
01:07:07,089 --> 01:07:08,057
IT'S JUST THERE'S ALWAYS A 

1545
01:07:08,057 --> 01:07:12,228
TRADE OFF AND A BALANCE BETWEEN 

1546
01:07:12,228 --> 01:07:16,866
STRIKING THE MOST APPROPRIATE 

1547
01:07:16,866 --> 01:07:17,500
BALANCE BETWEEN MAINTAINING WHAT

1548
01:07:17,500 --> 01:07:18,601
YOU HAVE AND, AND ADDING NET NEW

1549
01:07:18,601 --> 01:07:20,636

1553
01:07:28,444 --> 01:07:31,781
LARGE PART BY LOOKING AFTER OUR 

1554
01:07:31,781 --> 01:07:32,848
EXISTING ASSETS SO THAT PARKS 

1555
01:07:32,848 --> 01:07:34,550
AUDIT RESTROOM AUDIT. A COUPLE 

1556
01:07:34,550 --> 01:07:38,954
YEARS AGO, LIKE I SAID, KIND OF,

1557
01:07:38,954 --> 01:07:43,626
UH, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT 

1558
01:07:43,626 --> 01:07:45,694
REVEALED IS THAT NOT THERE'S, 

1559
01:07:45,694 --> 01:07:46,228

1560
01:07:46,228 --> 01:07:47,630
DISPARITY IN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT

1563
01:07:51,133 --> 01:07:51,700
GEOGRAPHIC DISPARITY THERE, 

1564
01:07:51,700 --> 01:07:52,535

1568
01:08:00,076 --> 01:08:02,445
AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE HOURS, 

1569
01:08:02,445 --> 01:08:03,045

1605
01:09:14,116 --> 01:09:17,253
COULD BE USED FOR MAINTENANCE 

1606
01:09:17,253 --> 01:09:20,823
AND OF EXISTING RESTROOMS. AND 

1607
01:09:20,823 --> 01:09:22,825
ADDING 1.2 MILLION FOR TWO NEW 

1608
01:09:22,825 --> 01:09:24,026
SHINY RESTROOMS. PLEASE TELL ME 

1609
01:09:24,026 --> 01:09:25,494
AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE RESTROOMS 

1610
01:09:25,494 --> 01:09:27,029
IS GOING IN MY DISTRICT. WHERE 

1611
01:09:27,029 --> 01:09:30,032
ARE THOSE RESTROOMS GOING? THESE

1612
01:09:30,032 --> 01:09:31,467
TWO ARE CHERYL CHOW PARK AND 

1613
01:09:31,467 --> 01:09:32,801
SOMEWHERE IN NORTHEAST, BUT WE 

1614
01:09:32,801 --> 01:09:34,870
ARE WORKING ON THE ONE FROM LAST

1615
01:09:34,870 --> 01:09:36,672
YEAR IN YOUR DISTRICT AT THE 

1616
01:09:36,672 --> 01:09:38,207
BATHHOUSE. THAT ONE IS UNDERWAY.

1617
01:09:38,207 --> 01:09:39,508
THAT WAS THE ONE THAT I 

1618
01:09:39,508 --> 01:09:40,543
IDENTIFIED. WE, I GUESS, 

1619
01:09:40,543 --> 01:09:41,544
IDENTIFIED AND FUNDED. AND I 

1620
01:09:41,544 --> 01:09:43,045
WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES 

1621
01:09:43,045 --> 01:09:44,446

1622
01:09:44,446 --> 01:09:47,516
TO SECURE THAT FUNDING. BUT NOT 

1623
01:09:47,516 --> 01:09:48,817
ONE, NOT ONE GOING TO DISTRICT 

1624
01:09:48,817 --> 01:09:53,455
ONE OR WEST SEATTLE. OKAY. UM, 

1625
01:09:53,455 --> 01:09:55,324
THANK YOU AGAIN, SUPERINTENDENT.

REALLY LONG TIME, AND I JUST 

1634
01:10:09,204 --> 01:10:09,772
ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOUR HOW 

1635
01:10:09,772 --> 01:10:11,540
RESPONSIVE YOU ARE WHEN WE REACH

1636
01:10:11,540 --> 01:10:13,075
OUT AND WHEN I IN PARTICULAR 

1637
01:10:13,075 --> 01:10:14,610
REACH OUT. SO THANK YOU. UM, 

1638
01:10:14,610 --> 01:10:16,478
THAT'S WHAT A PARTNERSHIP LOOKS

1639
01:10:16,478 --> 01:10:20,616
LIKE. AND I SO APPRECIATE YOU. 

1640
01:10:20,616 --> 01:10:21,650
UM, RELATED TO THIS, I'M GOING 

1641
01:10:21,650 --> 01:10:23,219
TO PLUS ONE ON MY COLLEAGUE ON 

1642
01:10:23,219 --> 01:10:24,687
THE RESTROOMS. I KNOW HIS 

1643
01:10:24,687 --> 01:10:28,524
DISTRICT. UM, UH, FEARED THE 

1644
01:10:28,524 --> 01:10:30,025
WORST IN THAT AUDIT. UM, BUT THE

1645
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:31,627
RESTROOM ISSUE IS ACROSS THE 

1646
01:10:31,627 --> 01:10:34,563
CITY, INCLUDING IN MY DISTRICT. 

1647
01:10:34,563 --> 01:10:36,832
AND MOST NOTABLY, I WILL SAY 

1648
01:10:36,832 --> 01:10:38,067
THAT DOLL FIELD HAD A FIRE, AND 

1649
01:10:38,067 --> 01:10:40,035
NOW WE'RE OUT. UM, THE RESTROOM

1650
01:10:40,035 --> 01:10:42,304
AT THAT PLAYFIELD. SO I WOULD 

1651
01:10:42,304 --> 01:10:43,639
LIKE I EXCUSE ME, I WOULD LOVE 

1652
01:10:43,639 --> 01:10:47,876
TO KNOW WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR, 

1653
01:10:47,876 --> 01:10:50,379
UM, THE REPLACEMENT OF THAT 

1654
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:53,515
RESTROOM. UM, IT'S WELL UTILIZED

1655
01:10:53,515 --> 01:10:54,817
BECAUSE IT'S, THERE ARE PLAYING

1656
01:10:54,817 --> 01:10:57,686
FIELDS THERE. AND, UH, IN 

1657
01:10:57,686 --> 01:10:58,654
ADDITION TO THE PLAYGROUND. SO 

1658
01:10:58,654 --> 01:11:00,923
IT'S, IT'S HEAVILY UTILIZED 

1659
01:11:00,923 --> 01:11:02,391
AND WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT THE 

1660
01:11:02,391 --> 01:11:06,261
PLAN FOR THAT IS. UM, YOU KNOW, 

1661
01:11:06,261 --> 01:11:08,097
I SHARE THE CONCERNS THAT 

1662
01:11:08,097 --> 01:11:10,299
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA HAS IN TERMS 

1663
01:11:10,299 --> 01:11:11,600
OF, YOU KNOW, DOING NEW THINGS. 

1664
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,103
WELL, WE NEED TO MAINTAIN OLD 

1665
01:11:14,103 --> 01:11:16,238
THINGS. UM, I SUSPECT THOUGH 

1666
01:11:16,238 --> 01:11:18,073
SOME OF THE NEW THINGS, SO 

1667
01:11:18,073 --> 01:11:20,709
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT 

1668
01:11:20,709 --> 01:11:23,279
DOES NEW MEAN ACTUALLY, UM, UH, 

1669
01:11:23,279 --> 01:11:25,748
IT'S NOT A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE 

1670
01:11:25,748 --> 01:11:27,116
SOMETIMES I KNOW YOU'RE 

1671
01:11:27,116 --> 01:11:27,950
REPLACING SOMETHING THAT WAS 

1672
01:11:27,950 --> 01:11:30,753
THERE AND IT WOULD BE NEW, BUT 

1673
01:11:30,753 --> 01:11:32,287
IT ACTUALLY WAS THERE BEFORE AND

1674
01:11:32,287 --> 01:11:33,422
IT'S JUST A BRAND NEW 

1675
01:11:33,422 --> 01:11:34,356
REPLACEMENT BECAUSE YOU HAD TO 

1676
01:11:34,356 --> 01:11:36,358
TAKE IT DOWN. OR IS IT ACTUALLY 

1677
01:11:36,358 --> 01:11:37,793
NEW? IT'S LIKE AN ADDITION TO 

1678
01:11:37,793 --> 01:11:40,362
WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE. BECAUSE 

1679
01:11:40,362 --> 01:11:41,630
FOR INSTANCE, DOLL, YOU'D HAVE 

1680
01:11:41,630 --> 01:11:43,932
TO START, I BELIEVE YOU HAD TO 

1681
01:11:43,932 --> 01:11:45,567
HAVE TO WOULD HAVE TO DO A NEW 

1682
01:11:45,567 --> 01:11:47,670
ONE, BUT THERE WAS ONE ALREADY 

1683
01:11:47,670 --> 01:11:49,371
THERE. SO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT 

1684
01:11:49,371 --> 01:11:52,241
REPLACEMENTS? ARE WE TALKING 

1685
01:11:52,241 --> 01:11:54,009
ABOUT NET NEW THAT WE'VE NEVER 

1686
01:11:54,009 --> 01:11:57,379
HAD BEFORE? THESE TWO ARE NET 

1687
01:11:57,379 --> 01:12:01,183
NEW. SO CHERYL CHOW PARK, UH, A 

1688
01:12:01,183 --> 01:12:03,852
NEWER PARK, RIGHT. AND SO WHEN 

1689
01:12:03,852 --> 01:12:06,655
WE DESIGN THAT, WE A RESTROOM 

1690
01:12:06,655 --> 01:12:09,558
WAS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN, BUT 

1691
01:12:09,558 --> 01:12:11,727
WE DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDING TO 

1692
01:12:11,727 --> 01:12:13,696
BRING THAT TO FRUITION. SO THE, 

1693
01:12:13,696 --> 01:12:17,433
UH, INFRASTRUCTURE IS THERE. AND

1694
01:12:17,433 --> 01:12:18,500
THIS WOULD BE ACTUALLY ADDING 

1695
01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:21,537
THAT BATHROOM THAT WAS, UH, 

1696
01:12:21,537 --> 01:12:23,472
PLANNED WITH THE PARK DESIGN 

1697
01:12:23,472 --> 01:12:25,674
PROJECT. UM, THE NORTHEAST ONE 

1698
01:12:25,674 --> 01:12:27,076
IS COMING OUT OF A PARK 

1699
01:12:27,076 --> 01:12:32,581
COMMUNITY FUND, UH, PROJECT 

1700
01:12:32,581 --> 01:12:34,917
WHERE, UM, NEIGHBORHOOD PROPOSED

1701
01:12:34,917 --> 01:12:35,951
THAT THERE'S A GAP IN THAT AREA

1702
01:12:35,951 --> 01:12:37,619
AND THEY ASKED US TO EXPLORE IT.

1703
01:12:37,619 --> 01:12:40,856
SO WE WERE JUST WORKING THROUGH 

1704
01:12:40,856 --> 01:12:42,991
A FEASIBILITY STUDY RELATED TO 

1705
01:12:42,991 --> 01:12:44,026
THAT, BUT THE IDEA WITH THAT ONE

1706
01:12:44,026 --> 01:12:46,929
IS IT WOULD BE NET NEW TO A SITE

1707
01:12:46,929 --> 01:12:48,130
THAT DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE 

1708
01:12:48,130 --> 01:12:50,365
THEM. BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, WE USE 

1709
01:12:50,365 --> 01:12:52,134
THE TERM RENOVATION WHEN 

1710
01:12:52,134 --> 01:12:54,570
SOMETIMES IT IS A TRULY NEW 

1711
01:12:54,570 --> 01:12:55,938
REBUILD, MOST LIKELY AT A SPOT 

1712
01:12:55,938 --> 01:12:56,972
THAT USED TO HAVE IT JUST 

1713
01:12:56,972 --> 01:12:57,506
BECAUSE WE USE THE SAME 

1714
01:12:57,506 --> 01:13:00,142
INFRASTRUCTURE. BUT FROM TIME TO

1715
01:13:00,142 --> 01:13:00,909
TIME WE PUT IT IN A DIFFERENT 

1716
01:13:00,909 --> 01:13:02,277
PART OF A PARK BASED ON SEPTET 

1717
01:13:02,277 --> 01:13:04,446
OR SOME OTHER, UM, RATIONALE 

1718
01:13:04,446 --> 01:13:06,749
FOR, FOR COMMUNITY USE 

1719
01:13:06,749 --> 01:13:10,119
IMPROVEMENTS. THANK YOU. UM, 

1720
01:13:10,119 --> 01:13:12,721
INTERIM DIRECTOR AND ON, AND I 

1721
01:13:12,721 --> 01:13:15,457
UNDERSTAND ALSO THE NEW PARK 

1722
01:13:15,457 --> 01:13:16,158
AYE. CHERYL CHOW PARK. IT'S NEW,

1723
01:13:16,158 --> 01:13:17,760
BUT IT WAS ALWAYS CONTEMPLATED 

1724
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:18,994
TO HAVE A BATHROOM AND YOU 

1725
01:13:18,994 --> 01:13:20,095
PROBABLY RAN OUT OF FUNDS AND 

1726
01:13:20,095 --> 01:13:22,931
THEN YOU HAD TO DO A ROUND TWO 

1727
01:13:22,931 --> 01:13:23,465
TO ACTUALLY COMPLETE THE 

1728
01:13:23,465 --> 01:13:24,366
BATHROOM THAT WAS INTENDED TO BE

1729
01:13:24,366 --> 01:13:27,669
THERE TO BEGIN WITH. SO I 

1730
01:13:27,669 --> 01:13:28,203
UNDERSTAND THAT. AND THE 

1731
01:13:28,203 --> 01:13:30,706
NORTHEAST I, I, WHAT, WHAT, 

1732
01:13:30,706 --> 01:13:33,175
WHAT, WHAT LOCATION IS THIS 

1733
01:13:33,175 --> 01:13:35,377
FEASIBILITY STUDY LOOKING AT? OR

1734
01:13:35,377 --> 01:13:36,044
DO WE NOT HAVE A LOCATION AT 

1735
01:13:36,044 --> 01:13:38,147
ALL? I MEAN, YOU'VE INDICATED 

1736
01:13:38,147 --> 01:13:39,414
IT'S NEW. SO IT ALMOST SOUNDS 

1737
01:13:39,414 --> 01:13:42,918
LIKE YOU KNOW WHERE IT WOULD GO 

1738
01:13:42,918 --> 01:13:44,453
OR THEY EXPLORED A FEW DIFFERENT

1739
01:13:44,453 --> 01:13:46,221
PARKS, BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD THE 

1740
01:13:46,221 --> 01:13:47,589
PRESENTATION AND ACTUALLY WORK 

1741
01:13:47,589 --> 01:13:49,491
THROUGH IT AND HAD THE, THE 

1742
01:13:49,491 --> 01:13:50,859
BROADER CONVERSATION ABOUT 

1743
01:13:50,859 --> 01:13:52,961
SEPTET, IT WAS LIKE, HOW FAR ARE

1744
01:13:52,961 --> 01:13:54,963
THESE PARKS FROM WATER LINES AND

1745
01:13:54,963 --> 01:13:56,465
THAT SORT OF THING. SO WE STILL 

1746
01:13:56,465 --> 01:13:59,668
DO HAVE SOME WORK TO DO TO 

1747
01:13:59,668 --> 01:14:01,503
ACTUALLY IDENTIFY, UH, A 

1748
01:14:01,503 --> 01:14:03,772
RECOMMENDED SITE. OKAY. UM, I 

1749
01:14:03,772 --> 01:14:06,675
WILL SAY SOMETHING. I'LL COME 

1750
01:14:06,675 --> 01:14:07,943
RIGHT BACK TO COUNCIL JUST SO I 

1751
01:14:07,943 --> 01:14:09,077
WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE

1752
01:14:09,077 --> 01:14:14,483
TALKING ABOUT. UM, SO WE SAID D4

1753
01:14:14,483 --> 01:14:16,718
AND D5 LOCATION $400,000. THAT 

1754
01:14:16,718 --> 01:14:18,053
DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT OF 

1755
01:14:18,053 --> 01:14:19,888
MONEY FOR A NEW BATHROOM. IT'S 

1756
01:14:19,888 --> 01:14:23,091
OVER TWO YEARS. SO THERE'S 

1757
01:14:23,091 --> 01:14:24,293
ACTUALLY $900,000 TOTAL FOR 

1758
01:14:24,293 --> 01:14:24,927
THAT. BECAUSE IT'S THE ONE 

1759
01:14:24,927 --> 01:14:28,664
TIME. OH, OKAY. SO IT'S 900. 

1760
01:14:28,664 --> 01:14:29,498
OVER THE. TWO YEARS. FOR TWO. 

1761
01:14:29,498 --> 01:14:32,434
YEARS. THIS IS. WHERE THE D5. 

1762
01:14:32,434 --> 01:14:34,069
THAT YOU ONLY SEE ONE SLICE OF 

1763
01:14:34,069 --> 01:14:35,771
THE. OH, NEXT TIME YOU MIGHT 

1764
01:14:35,771 --> 01:14:37,239
WANT TO SEE BOTH SLICES. I KNOW,

1765
01:14:37,239 --> 01:14:38,607
BUT I WAS JUST TRYING. I THINK I

1766
01:14:38,607 --> 01:14:39,942
SEE WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT 

1767
01:14:39,942 --> 01:14:40,609
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA LIKE, IS IT

1768
01:14:40,609 --> 01:14:42,277
IS IT RENOVATED? IS IT NEW OR 

1769
01:14:42,277 --> 01:14:43,712
ARE YOU FIXING IT UP? AND IF IT 

1770
01:14:43,712 --> 01:14:45,180
IS BRAND NEW OR IF IT IS 

1771
01:14:45,180 --> 01:14:46,849
RENOVATED, BECAUSE NOW WE'RE 

1772
01:14:46,849 --> 01:14:49,484
FOCUSING ON D4 AND D5, WHERE 

1773
01:14:49,484 --> 01:14:54,623
DOES THAT STAND NOW YEAH. WE ARE

1774
01:14:54,623 --> 01:14:56,558
WITHOUT A SITE YET, RIGHT? OUR 

1775
01:14:56,558 --> 01:15:00,996
INTENT. IS INTENT. IS TO ADD 

1776
01:15:00,996 --> 01:15:04,533
EIGHT. SO I DON'T QUOTE ME, BUT

1777
01:15:04,533 --> 01:15:07,002
MY LAST RECOLLECTION WAS WE HAVE

1778
01:15:07,002 --> 01:15:13,175
129 PARK RESTROOMS, UH, 130 

1779
01:15:13,175 --> 01:15:15,711
WOULD BE THE ALKAI BATHHOUSE 

1780
01:15:15,711 --> 01:15:21,116
THESE TWO WOULD BE 31 AND 32. SO

1781
01:15:21,116 --> 01:15:22,184
IT WOULD BE A NEW ASSET. IT 

1782
01:15:22,184 --> 01:15:23,752
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE LOOKING AT 

1783
01:15:23,752 --> 01:15:24,820
DIFFERENT SITES. AND I GUESS 

1784
01:15:24,820 --> 01:15:26,255
WHAT YOU'RE HEARING, AT LEAST 

1785
01:15:26,255 --> 01:15:29,691
FROM ME AND MAYBE EVEN, UM, THE 

1786
01:15:29,691 --> 01:15:32,961
BOARD CHAIR HERE, UM, IS THAT 

1787
01:15:32,961 --> 01:15:35,364

FEASIBILITY STUDY IS LOOKING 

1789
01:15:38,133 --> 01:15:39,902
SOMEWHERE WHERE SO IT LOOKS LIKE

1790
01:15:39,902 --> 01:15:41,303
MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, YOU KNOW, 

1791
01:15:41,303 --> 01:15:41,837
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO A 

1792
01:15:41,837 --> 01:15:44,039
FEASIBILITY STUDY WITHOUT 

1793
01:15:44,039 --> 01:15:45,774
KNOWING WHERE OR THE POTENTIAL. 

1794
01:15:45,774 --> 01:15:47,843
AND I GUESS THAT'S WHAT WE'RE 

1795
01:15:47,843 --> 01:15:49,244
LOOKING FOR IS INFORMATION ON 

1796
01:15:49,244 --> 01:15:51,280
WHERE THOSE. IF YOU'RE LOOKING 

1797
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:53,048
AT FIVE POTENTIAL SITES AND 

1798
01:15:53,048 --> 01:15:54,583
YOU'RE DOING THE FEASIBILITY 

1799
01:15:54,583 --> 01:15:56,051
STUDY, WHAT ARE THOSE FIVE 

1800
01:15:56,051 --> 01:15:57,219
SITES? I DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME,

1801
01:15:57,219 --> 01:16:00,822
BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THE TEAM

1802
01:16:00,822 --> 01:16:02,157
EXPLORED. THAT WOULD BE. I CAN 

1803
01:16:02,157 --> 01:16:05,460
TELL YOU I HAVEN'T BEEN BRIEFED

1804
01:16:05,460 --> 01:16:06,561
YET ON WHAT THE ASSESSMENT IS 

1805
01:16:06,561 --> 01:16:08,163
AND WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT OTHER 

1806
01:16:08,163 --> 01:16:08,797
THINGS HAPPENING. YOU KNOW, IT 

1807
01:16:08,797 --> 01:16:11,466
WAS A IT WAS MORE OF A TECHNICAL

1808
01:16:11,466 --> 01:16:12,467
ASSESSMENT. AND, YOU KNOW, SO 

1809
01:16:12,467 --> 01:16:13,535
THERE MAY BE A SITE THAT YOU'RE

1810
01:16:13,535 --> 01:16:14,569
LIKE, I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD

1811
01:16:14,569 --> 01:16:17,339
HAVE A BATHROOM RIGHT NOW. BUT 

1812
01:16:17,339 --> 01:16:18,340
YOU'LL. WHAT WOULD BE THE 

1813
01:16:18,340 --> 01:16:20,208
TIMELINE ON THAT TO FOLLOW UP 

1814
01:16:20,208 --> 01:16:20,742
WITH COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA 

1815
01:16:20,742 --> 01:16:22,978
QUESTION. I CAN GET, WE CAN GET 

1816
01:16:22,978 --> 01:16:24,112
YOU THAT TODAY. THAT'D BE 

1817
01:16:24,112 --> 01:16:26,248
GREAT. THAT'D BE GREAT. I MEAN,

1818
01:16:26,248 --> 01:16:27,316
THERE'S A LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY

1819
01:16:27,316 --> 01:16:29,284
HERE. AND I THINK YOU HEARD, UM,

1820
01:16:29,284 --> 01:16:34,856
THE BOARD CHAIR SAY EARLIER, UH,

1821
01:16:34,856 --> 01:16:37,125
WE NEED THIS INFORMATION SO 

1822
01:16:37,125 --> 01:16:37,659
FOLKS KNOW WHAT WE'RE 

1823
01:16:37,659 --> 01:16:38,327
CONTEMPLATING. OTHERWISE, IT 

1824
01:16:38,327 --> 01:16:40,128
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE WITHHOLDING 

1825
01:16:40,128 --> 01:16:41,763
INFORMATION AND THAT DOESN'T 

1826
01:16:41,763 --> 01:16:44,333
FEEL GOOD. UM, AND I KNOW YOU'RE

1827
01:16:44,333 --> 01:16:44,900
NOT WITHHOLDING INFORMATION 

1828
01:16:44,900 --> 01:16:46,702
TODAY. UM, INTERIM 

1829
01:16:46,702 --> 01:16:48,070
SUPERINTENDENT, BECAUSE I, WE'VE

1830
01:16:48,070 --> 01:16:49,237
WORKED TOGETHER A LONG TIME AND 

1831
01:16:49,237 --> 01:16:51,173
I KNOW YOU'RE ABOVE BOARD AND I

1832
01:16:51,173 --> 01:16:52,841
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. SO I'M 

1833
01:16:52,841 --> 01:16:54,309
NOT SAYING YOU'RE DOING THAT 

1834
01:16:54,309 --> 01:16:55,711
TODAY. I JUST MEAN IN GENERAL, 

1835
01:16:55,711 --> 01:16:58,747
RIGHT? WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

1836
01:16:58,747 --> 01:16:59,414
THAT WE'RE GIVING CONSTITUENTS 

1837
01:16:59,414 --> 01:17:00,682
THE INFORMATION. AND ALSO, MORE 

1838
01:17:00,682 --> 01:17:02,117
IMPORTANTLY, SOMETHING THAT I 

1839
01:17:02,117 --> 01:17:05,320
WANT A PLUS ONE. UM, WITH THE 

1840
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,389
BOARD CHAIR AND ALSO 

1841
01:17:07,389 --> 01:17:08,924
COUNCILMEMBER LIN SAID, UM, AS 

1842
01:17:08,924 --> 01:17:10,325
WELL AS JUST, YOU KNOW, OUR 

1843
01:17:10,325 --> 01:17:12,160
CONSTITUENTS NEED THE ABILITY TO

1844
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,863
WEIGH IN. UM, AND WE WEIGH IN ON

1845
01:17:14,863 --> 01:17:16,598
THEIR BEHALF. SO IF WE DON'T 

1846
01:17:16,598 --> 01:17:17,366
HAVE THE INFORMATION, IT'S HARD

1847
01:17:17,366 --> 01:17:18,900
FOR US TO WEIGH IN AND WE CAN 

1848
01:17:18,900 --> 01:17:20,035
TELL YOU, I CAN TELL YOU I NEED 

1849
01:17:20,035 --> 01:17:23,438
A RESTROOM AT DOLL FIELD. THERE 

1850
01:17:23,438 --> 01:17:24,806
ISN'T, YOU KNOW, THERE ISN'T A

1851
01:17:24,806 --> 01:17:25,741
RESTROOM NOW BECAUSE 

1852
01:17:25,741 --> 01:17:26,408
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS A FIRE.

1853
01:17:26,408 --> 01:17:30,379
IT WAS UNFORESEEN. UM, TO FOLLOW

1854
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:31,380
ON COUNCILMEMBER SAKA THREAD 

1855
01:17:31,380 --> 01:17:33,982
THAT 3 MILLION. THAT'S FOR 

1856
01:17:33,982 --> 01:17:34,950
UNANTICIPATED. THAT WOULD 

1857
01:17:34,950 --> 01:17:36,551
QUALIFY, I WOULD THINK, BECAUSE 

1858
01:17:36,551 --> 01:17:38,520
THAT WAS NOT IT WAS AN EMERGING 

1859
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,389
NEED. IT'S UNFORTUNATE. THERE 

1860
01:17:40,389 --> 01:17:43,125
WAS A FIRE. SO, UM, YOU KNOW, 

1861
01:17:43,125 --> 01:17:44,059
THAT'S THE KIND OF THING I ALSO

1862
01:17:44,059 --> 01:17:46,061
WANT TO SWITCH GEARS AND PLUS 

1863
01:17:46,061 --> 01:17:48,663
ONE TO COUNCILMEMBER SAKA ON THE

1864
01:17:48,663 --> 01:17:50,165
PLAY FIELDS AND THE REPLACEMENT 

1865
01:17:50,165 --> 01:17:52,234
OF TURF. YOU KNOW, THERE IS A 

1866
01:17:52,234 --> 01:17:54,236
DISPARITY WITH THE THE GIRLS 

1867
01:17:54,236 --> 01:17:56,571
FIELDS AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THE 

1868
01:17:56,571 --> 01:17:59,608
SOFTBALL NOT, NOT INSUFFICIENT 

1869
01:17:59,608 --> 01:18:00,709
SOFTBALL FIELDS. AND A LOT OF 

1870
01:18:00,709 --> 01:18:03,578
THE GIRLS DO PLAY. THAT'S WHAT 

1871
01:18:03,578 --> 01:18:04,479
THEY'RE PLAYING SOFTBALL. AND 

1872
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,916
SO WE DO GIVE, UM, WE SEEM TO 

1873
01:18:07,916 --> 01:18:09,418
GIVE PRIORITY TO THE BOY FIELDS.

1874
01:18:09,418 --> 01:18:12,087
UM, AND NOT THE GIRL FIELDS. AND

1875
01:18:12,087 --> 01:18:13,989
SO WHEN, WHEN THESE DECISIONS 

1876
01:18:13,989 --> 01:18:15,924
ARE BEING MADE, UM, WE WANT TO 

1877
01:18:15,924 --> 01:18:18,226
BE ABLE TO WEIGH IN ON BEHALF OF

1878
01:18:18,226 --> 01:18:20,862
OUR CONSTITUENTS AND WE DON'T 

1879
01:18:20,862 --> 01:18:23,031
ALWAYS KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, 

1880
01:18:23,031 --> 01:18:24,800
WHICH IS WHAT I HEARD THE BOARD 

1881
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,202
CHAIR SAY EARLIER. UM, IN THIS 

1882
01:18:27,202 --> 01:18:29,071
CONVERSATION IS WHEN IS THE BEST

1883
01:18:29,071 --> 01:18:30,338
TIME TO WEIGH IN? BECAUSE BY THE

1884
01:18:30,338 --> 01:18:32,441
TIME IT COMES TO US, IT'S TOO 

1885
01:18:32,441 --> 01:18:34,543
LATE. SO AT WHAT POINT DO WE 

1886
01:18:34,543 --> 01:18:37,712
HAVE THE ABILITY TO WEIGH IN? 

1887
01:18:37,712 --> 01:18:39,848
CAN WE SEND A SURVEY TO OUR 

1888
01:18:39,848 --> 01:18:40,449
CONSTITUENTS SO WE CAN SAY, 

1889
01:18:40,449 --> 01:18:43,285
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A 

1890
01:18:43,285 --> 01:18:45,620
TURF FIELD OR A RESTROOM OR 

1891
01:18:45,620 --> 01:18:47,522
WHATEVER IT IS, A PLAYGROUND, 

1892
01:18:47,522 --> 01:18:49,091
WHATEVER IT IS, A TEEN CENTER. 

1893
01:18:49,091 --> 01:18:51,760
LET ME ALSO ADD THAT MAGNUSON 

1894
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,463
PARK, AND YOU KNOW, I REALLY 

1895
01:18:54,463 --> 01:18:56,965
APPRECIATE THAT YOU ALL THERE 

1896
01:18:56,965 --> 01:18:58,734
ISN'T AN OFFICIAL TEEN NIGHT, 

1897
01:18:58,734 --> 01:19:01,169
WHICH I THOUGHT THERE WAS AT 

1898
01:19:01,169 --> 01:19:03,972
MAGNUSON COMMUNITY CENTER. BUT 

1899
01:19:03,972 --> 01:19:06,108
YOU MADE ACCOMMODATIONS TO HAVE 

1900
01:19:06,108 --> 01:19:08,176
OURS OPEN, UM, FOR THE TEENS. 

1901
01:19:08,176 --> 01:19:11,513
UM, AND YOU HAVE TEEN ACTIVITY 

1902
01:19:11,513 --> 01:19:13,415
THERE, ACTIVITIES THERE, WHICH I

1903
01:19:13,415 --> 01:19:15,250
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE, AS DO THE 

1904
01:19:15,250 --> 01:19:18,153
RESIDENTS AT MERCY HOUSING AND 

1905
01:19:18,153 --> 01:19:20,689
SOLID GROUND, WHOSE KIDS UTILIZE

1906
01:19:20,689 --> 01:19:22,991
THAT SPACE. UM, I'M DISAPPOINTED

1907
01:19:22,991 --> 01:19:24,960
THAT THE HOURS ARE GETTING CUT 

1908
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,762
FOR THAT UM, UNOFFICIAL TEEN 

1909
01:19:27,762 --> 01:19:29,431
NIGHT AND I'D LOVE TO MAKE IT 

1910
01:19:29,431 --> 01:19:30,565
OFFICIAL. AND I WOULD LOVE FOR 

1911
01:19:30,565 --> 01:19:33,268
THOSE HOURS TO CONTINUE SO THAT 

1912
01:19:33,268 --> 01:19:34,736
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT IS 

1913
01:19:34,736 --> 01:19:37,839
UTILIZED AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE

1914
01:19:37,839 --> 01:19:39,674
THAT THE KIDS THERE, YOU KNOW, 

1915
01:19:39,674 --> 01:19:42,210
HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE ACCESS 

1916
01:19:42,210 --> 01:19:44,012
TO THAT. SO I'LL JUST SAY THAT,

1917
01:19:44,012 --> 01:19:45,313
AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WANT TO 

1918
01:19:45,313 --> 01:19:46,915
RESPOND. SO DID YOU WANT TO SAY 

1919
01:19:46,915 --> 01:19:50,418
SOMETHING? SORRY. WE MAY HAVE 

1920
01:19:50,418 --> 01:19:51,052
MADE A MISCOMMUNICATION BECAUSE 

1921
01:19:51,052 --> 01:19:52,053
WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT PROPOSING 

1922
01:19:52,053 --> 01:19:55,557
ANY CHANGES TO MAGNUSON. TO THE 

1923
01:19:55,557 --> 01:19:56,591
HOURS. I THOUGHT YOU WERE 

1924
01:19:56,591 --> 01:19:58,026
SHORTENING, RIGHT? NO NO NO NO 

1925
01:19:58,026 --> 01:20:00,595
NO, IT JUST ISN'T. AN OFFICIAL 

1926
01:20:00,595 --> 01:20:02,731
ONE. IT DOESN'T GO TO THE 

1927
01:20:02,731 --> 01:20:04,432
MIDNIGHT. BUT IT'S IT'LL STAY 

1928
01:20:04,432 --> 01:20:05,534
WITH THE SAME HOURS. I TOLD YOU 

1929
01:20:05,534 --> 01:20:07,435
THAT. I, OF COURSE, DON'T 

1930
01:20:07,435 --> 01:20:08,537
REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

1931
01:20:08,537 --> 01:20:09,571
IF IT'S TILL 9:00 AT NIGHT, 

1932
01:20:09,571 --> 01:20:10,972
WHATEVER. I THINK IT WAS 11. AND

1933
01:20:10,972 --> 01:20:12,307
YOU SAID IT WAS GOING TO NINE. 

1934
01:20:12,307 --> 01:20:13,441
THAT'S WHERE THE CONFUSION IS. 

1935
01:20:13,441 --> 01:20:16,144
SO MAYBE WE CAN FOLLOW UP. IT'D

1936
01:20:16,144 --> 01:20:17,512
BE GREAT IF THE HOURS WERE 

1937
01:20:17,512 --> 01:20:18,146
CONTINUED. BECAUSE AYE. HATE 

1938
01:20:18,146 --> 01:20:19,414
SAME AS WHAT IT IS NOW. THAT'S 

1939
01:20:19,414 --> 01:20:22,083
WHAT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN. WHEN WE 

1940
01:20:22,083 --> 01:20:22,951
STARTED IT. PERFECT. THANK YOU. 

1941
01:20:22,951 --> 01:20:25,353
BECAUSE WHAT I HATE IS WE WE 

1942
01:20:25,353 --> 01:20:27,923
GIVE ACCESS TO KIDS AND THEN WE 

1943
01:20:27,923 --> 01:20:29,157
CHANGE IT ON THEM. AND I JUST 

1944
01:20:29,157 --> 01:20:30,725
DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S FAIR. 

1945
01:20:30,725 --> 01:20:32,594
AND WE WANT TO IT'S A SAFE PLACE

1946
01:20:32,594 --> 01:20:34,663
FOR KIDS TO TEENS TO GO. SO I 

1947
01:20:34,663 --> 01:20:35,664
WANT TO. MAKE SURE IT'S THE SAME

1948
01:20:35,664 --> 01:20:37,766
AS IT IS NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF 

1949
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:38,833
IT WAS THE SAME AS IT'S ALWAYS 

1950
01:20:38,833 --> 01:20:41,636
BEEN FOREVER, BUT IT IS THE SAME

1951
01:20:41,636 --> 01:20:43,872
AS WHAT 2027 WILL LOOK JUST LIKE

1952
01:20:43,872 --> 01:20:47,175
2026. GREAT. AND 2025, I HOPE. 

1953
01:20:47,175 --> 01:20:48,610
AND FOR WHEN I STARTED HERE AND 

1954
01:20:48,610 --> 01:20:50,145

1955
01:20:50,145 --> 01:20:51,213
THAT'S WHAT. I'M LOOKING FOR. 

1956
01:20:51,213 --> 01:20:52,380

CAN'T GIVE KIDS SOMETHING AND 

1961
01:20:58,854 --> 01:21:01,122
THEN TAKE IT AWAY. THAT'S JUST 

1962
01:21:01,122 --> 01:21:03,191
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN 

1963
01:21:03,191 --> 01:21:05,627
THAT. UM, BECAUSE THOSE KIDS 

1964
01:21:05,627 --> 01:21:07,863

01:21:24,946 --> 01:21:27,682
ABOUT THOSE. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR

01:21:27,682 --> 01:21:31,253
CLARIFYING THAT. UM, AND THEN, 

1974
01:21:31,253 --> 01:21:32,020
YOU KNOW, THERE ALWAYS SEEMS TO 

1975
01:21:32,020 --> 01:21:34,656
BE A LITTLE BIT OF IT SEEMS A 

1976
01:21:34,656 --> 01:21:37,125
LITTLE AMORPHOUS ON CRITERIA FOR

1977
01:21:37,125 --> 01:21:39,594
HOW PROJECTS ARE SELECTED AND 

1978
01:21:39,594 --> 01:21:41,763

1980
01:21:42,797 --> 01:21:45,166
SHARE WITH OUR CONSTITUENTS IS 

1981
01:21:45,166 --> 01:21:46,968
REALLY IMPORTANT. AND MAYBE THIS

1982
01:21:46,968 --> 01:21:51,039
IS STUFF I IMAGINE THAT, YOU 

1983
01:21:51,039 --> 01:21:52,374
KNOW, AT YEARS PAST THIS HAS 

1984
01:21:52,374 --> 01:21:55,210
BEEN SHARED, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS

1985
01:21:55,210 --> 01:21:56,611
NEW COUNCILMEMBERS CYCLING IN. 

1986
01:21:56,611 --> 01:21:58,079

01:22:10,859 --> 01:22:11,860
WHAT THINGS YOU KNOW, THERE ARE 

1994
01:22:11,860 --> 01:22:13,261
THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT IN THE 

1995
01:22:13,261 --> 01:22:14,062
DISTRICT AND THERE AND THERE ARE

1996
01:22:14,062 --> 01:22:16,564
THINGS WE DON'T THAT YOU ARE 

1997
01:22:16,564 --> 01:22:19,134
WORKING ON. AND SOMETIMES WE 

1998
01:22:19,134 --> 01:22:21,569
FIND OUT INADVERTENTLY, UM, 

1999
01:22:21,569 --> 01:22:22,804
THROUGH A CONSTITUENT BECAUSE 

2000
01:22:22,804 --> 01:22:23,872
THEY LIVE NEARBY OR SORT OF, AND

2001
01:22:23,872 --> 01:22:25,607
IT'D BE REALLY GREAT TO HAVE A 

2002
01:22:25,607 --> 01:22:26,541
LIST. LIKE, HERE'S ALL THE 

2003
01:22:26,541 --> 01:22:28,343
PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON 

2004
01:22:28,343 --> 01:22:30,245
OR WE'LL BE WORKING ON IN YOUR 

2005
01:22:30,245 --> 01:22:31,980
DISTRICT. AND THAT ALSO HELPS US

2006
01:22:31,980 --> 01:22:36,117
HAVE THE ABILITY TO WEIGH IN. 

2007
01:22:36,117 --> 01:22:37,085
UM, AND THEN I WILL SAY THAT 

2008
01:22:37,085 --> 01:22:40,188
THERE'S A PARK AT WEDGEWOOD 

2009
01:22:40,188 --> 01:22:40,855
THAT I'M CONTINUING, YOU KNOW, 

2010
01:22:40,855 --> 01:22:44,292
LIKE A POCKET PARK, NOT LIKE IT 

2011
01:22:44,292 --> 01:22:46,161

2012
01:22:46,161 --> 01:22:48,096
GET COMPLETED. YEAH. UM, DO YOU 

2013
01:22:48,096 --> 01:22:51,166
HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THAT?

2014
01:22:51,166 --> 01:22:51,966
AND IS THAT PART IN HERE? I 

2015
01:22:51,966 --> 01:22:54,803
MEAN, IS THAT INCLUDED IN THIS 

2016
01:22:54,803 --> 01:22:57,505
OR IS THAT A SEPARATE. IT'S 

2017
01:22:57,505 --> 01:22:58,473
PARK DISTRICT FUNDING. YEAH. 

2018
01:22:58,473 --> 01:23:00,775
IT'S NOT A. NEW APPROPRIATION 

2019
01:23:00,775 --> 01:23:03,678
IN 2027. BUT IT IS. I, I JUST 

2020
01:23:03,678 --> 01:23:04,279
HAD AN UPDATE BECAUSE WE JUST 

2021
01:23:04,279 --> 01:23:05,447
TALKED. I JUST TALKED TO A 

2022
01:23:05,447 --> 01:23:06,848
CONSTITUENT AT THE BURKE-GILMAN 

2023
01:23:06,848 --> 01:23:08,550
EVENT. AND SO WE PROVIDED AN 

2024
01:23:08,550 --> 01:23:09,918
UPDATE. BUT I DON'T I DON'T WANT

2025
01:23:09,918 --> 01:23:11,686
TO SAY THE WRONG DATES SO I CAN 

2026
01:23:11,686 --> 01:23:12,854
GET YOU AN UPDATE, BUT IT'S, 

2027
01:23:12,854 --> 01:23:15,156
IT'S MOVING ALONG TOWARDS 

2028
01:23:15,156 --> 01:23:18,593
BIDDING AND, AND DELIVERY. YEAH.

2029
01:23:18,593 --> 01:23:20,762
AND I, AND I UNDERSTAND THERE 

2030
01:23:20,762 --> 01:23:21,396
WERE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES 

2031
01:23:21,396 --> 01:23:22,931
THAT WERE UNKNOWN AND DISCOVERED

2032
01:23:22,931 --> 01:23:25,500
AND HAD TO BE, UM, YOU KNOW, 

2033
01:23:25,500 --> 01:23:31,473
THERE HAS HAD TO BE, UH 

2034
01:23:31,473 --> 01:23:32,607
REMEDIATION AND THAT'S PART OF 

2035
01:23:32,607 --> 01:23:35,243
THE DELAY, BUT JUST PEOPLE ARE 

2036
01:23:35,243 --> 01:23:36,544
ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE 

2037
01:23:36,544 --> 01:23:38,012
COMPLETION OF THAT, OF THAT

POCKET PARK. SO GETTING THE

2040
01:23:41,649 --> 01:23:42,984
GREAT. UM. AND THAT WOULD BE 

2041
01:23:42,984 --> 01:23:44,352

FINNEGAN FOR THE PRESENTATION. I

2057
01:24:13,248 --> 01:24:15,316
JUST HAVE TWO QUICK QUESTIONS OR

2058
01:24:15,316 --> 01:24:17,552
ONE COMMENT. DOUBLING DOWN ON 

2059
01:24:17,552 --> 01:24:18,887
WHAT COUNCILMEMBER SAKA AND 

2060
01:24:18,887 --> 01:24:19,454
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA SAID, 

2061
01:24:19,454 --> 01:24:23,324
OBVIOUSLY ABOUT, UH, THE TURF, 

2062
01:24:23,324 --> 01:24:25,260
PIECE. UM, AS WELL. I KNOW THAT 

2063
01:24:25,260 --> 01:24:27,295
THE COUNCIL THE LAST COUPLE 

2064
01:24:27,295 --> 01:24:28,663
YEARS HAVE CHAMPIONED A LOT OF 

2065
01:24:28,663 --> 01:24:30,532
THE TURF PROJECTS. JUST 

2066
01:24:30,532 --> 01:24:32,700
UNDERSTANDING THE SAFETY THAT IT

2067
01:24:32,700 --> 01:24:34,836
BRINGS TO OUR COMMUNITY. AND ONE

2068
01:24:34,836 --> 01:24:36,438
OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE FUNDED 

2069
01:24:36,438 --> 01:24:39,374
LAST YEAR WAS ROGERS PLAYFIELD, 

2070
01:24:39,374 --> 01:24:41,443
NOT FOR THE TURF PROJECT, BUT 

2071
01:24:41,443 --> 01:24:43,044
FOR THE DESIGN, WHICH IS NEXT TO

2072
01:24:43,044 --> 01:24:46,781
TOP SCHOOL OVER IN EASTLAKE. UM,

2073
01:24:46,781 --> 01:24:49,050
JUST BECAUSE OF THE DANGER THAT 

2074
01:24:49,050 --> 01:24:51,286
THAT PHIL POSSESSES, UH, 

2075
01:24:51,286 --> 01:24:52,921
REGARDING THE RAIN, THE 

2076
01:24:52,921 --> 01:24:54,889
DRAINAGE, THE HOLES, THE 

2077
01:24:54,889 --> 01:24:56,458
MAINTENANCE ON IT. THERE ARE 

2078
01:24:56,458 --> 01:24:57,759
PEOPLE THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, JUST

2079
01:24:57,759 --> 01:24:58,960
REALLY HAVE GOTTEN INJURED AND 

2080
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:02,697
HURT ON THAT FIELD. UM, BECAUSE 

2081
01:25:02,697 --> 01:25:03,865
OF THE, UM, YOU KNOW, HOW OLD IT

2082
01:25:03,865 --> 01:25:06,935
IS. AND, AND, UH, THE, THE 

2083
01:25:06,935 --> 01:25:08,069
WELLNESS OF THAT, THAT FIELD. 

2084
01:25:08,069 --> 01:25:10,905
SO, UM, JUST ALWAYS THINKING 

2085
01:25:10,905 --> 01:25:12,774
ABOUT WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN 

2086
01:25:12,774 --> 01:25:14,909
UPGRADE STUFF. BUT THE ONE THING

2087
01:25:14,909 --> 01:25:16,010
THAT I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT, WE 

2088
01:25:16,010 --> 01:25:17,245
SECURED FUNDING LAST YEAR FROM 

2089
01:25:17,245 --> 01:25:20,381
THE STATE FOR $1.5 MILLION. THE 

2090
01:25:20,381 --> 01:25:22,550
GOVERNOR HAD PUT IN FOR JUST 

2091
01:25:22,550 --> 01:25:23,952
TURF IN SEATTLE. AND HOW DO YOU 

2092
01:25:23,952 --> 01:25:26,421
ALL DECIDE WHERE THAT FUNDING 

2093
01:25:26,421 --> 01:25:28,690
GOES? DO YOU CHOOSE A PROJECT? 

2094
01:25:28,690 --> 01:25:31,226
DO YOU ADD IT TO A PROJECT THAT 

2095
01:25:31,226 --> 01:25:32,627
WAS FUNDING THAT WE ADVOCATED 

2096
01:25:32,627 --> 01:25:34,128
FOR WITH THE GOVERNOR? AND I 

2097
01:25:34,128 --> 01:25:36,131
KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD 

2098
01:25:36,131 --> 01:25:38,333
PSAS ABOUT SOFTBALL FIELDS TO 

2099
01:25:38,333 --> 01:25:43,271
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA'S CREDIT, 

2100
01:25:43,271 --> 01:25:43,905
REGARDING THE, UM, UH, EQUITABLE

2101
01:25:43,905 --> 01:25:45,373
FIELD, UH, ACCESSIBILITY FOR 

2102
01:25:45,373 --> 01:25:47,909
GIRLS VERSUS BOYS SOFTBALL 

2103
01:25:47,909 --> 01:25:49,177
VERSUS BASEBALL. HOW DOES THE 

2104
01:25:49,177 --> 01:25:50,778
PARKS DISTRICT, HOW DOES THAT 

2105
01:25:50,778 --> 01:25:52,847
GET INCORPORATED? THE 1.5 

2106
01:25:52,847 --> 01:25:54,048
MILLION THAT WE SECURED FROM THE

2107
01:25:54,048 --> 01:25:57,886
STATE THAT'S A. GREAT QUESTION.

2108
01:25:57,886 --> 01:25:59,287
AND I HAVEN'T GOT AN UPDATE 

2109
01:25:59,287 --> 01:26:00,355
THAT IN A WHILE, BUT WE WERE 

2110
01:26:00,355 --> 01:26:02,524
WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S 

2111
01:26:02,524 --> 01:26:03,691
OFFICE TO CONFIRM THIS SITE. SO 

2112
01:26:03,691 --> 01:26:05,660
PART OF IT WAS IN DIALOG WITH 

2113
01:26:05,660 --> 01:26:07,128
THEM, AND THEN IT WOULD BE 

2114
01:26:07,128 --> 01:26:08,897
SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE OTHER 

2115
01:26:08,897 --> 01:26:11,666
DIRECT APPROPRIATIONS WHERE WE 

2116
01:26:11,666 --> 01:26:14,969
WOULD ENTER INTO A CONTRACT FOR 

2117
01:26:14,969 --> 01:26:15,637
THE STATE FUNDING. UM, BUT I WE 

2118
01:26:15,637 --> 01:26:17,338
CAN GET YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE 

2119
01:26:17,338 --> 01:26:22,243
THAT'S AT COUNCIL PRESIDENT 

2120
01:26:22,243 --> 01:26:22,911
THAT WOULD BE SUPER HELPFUL. I 

2121
01:26:22,911 --> 01:26:24,779
DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS FOR AN 

2122
01:26:24,779 --> 01:26:25,947
EXISTING PROJECT OR A NEW 

2123
01:26:25,947 --> 01:26:29,083
PROJECT. I KNOW THAT THE 

2124
01:26:29,083 --> 01:26:29,717
GOVERNOR MYSELF, COUNCILMEMBER 

2125
01:26:29,717 --> 01:26:31,352
KETTLE. UM, I KNOW 

2126
01:26:31,352 --> 01:26:32,987
COUNCILMEMBER. RIVERA, UM, 

2127
01:26:32,987 --> 01:26:35,757
SUPPORTED IT AS WELL. THE PARK 

2128
01:26:35,757 --> 01:26:36,824
UP NORTH AND I'M FORGETTING THE

2129
01:26:36,824 --> 01:26:38,459
NAME BECAUSE WE, IT WAS A NAME 

2130
01:26:38,459 --> 01:26:41,596
CHANGE FOR A NEW PARK, UM, FOR A

2131
01:26:41,596 --> 01:26:43,464
FALLEN SOLDIER WHO HAD SERVED 

2132
01:26:43,464 --> 01:26:44,999
OUR COUNTRY AND DIED IN ACTION. 

2133
01:26:44,999 --> 01:26:48,136
UM, AND IT WAS A PARK NEXT TO, 

2134
01:26:48,136 --> 01:26:50,738
HE WAS THERE BECAUSE THAT FAMILY

2135
01:26:50,738 --> 01:26:51,306
HAD ADVOCATED TO CHANGE THE 

2136
01:26:51,306 --> 01:26:52,874
NAME. AND I KNOW THAT YOU ALL 

2137
01:26:52,874 --> 01:26:54,275
WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN THAT AS 

2138
01:26:54,275 --> 01:26:56,077
WELL, BUT, UM, IT COULD HAVE 

2139
01:26:56,077 --> 01:26:56,844
BEEN FOR THAT PARK, BUT I JUST 

2140
01:26:56,844 --> 01:26:58,479
WANTED, I WAS CURIOUS IF YOU HAD

2141
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:00,348
ANY OTHER INFORMATION. SO 

2142
01:27:00,348 --> 01:27:01,316
THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. I THINK. 

2143
01:27:01,316 --> 01:27:04,285
WE ORIGINALLY STARTED TALKING 

2144
01:27:04,285 --> 01:27:05,553
ABOUT ANOTHER FIELD AT LOWER 

2145
01:27:05,553 --> 01:27:06,621
WOODLAND TO TRY TO PACKAGE IT, 

2146
01:27:06,621 --> 01:27:09,224
BECAUSE IT WAS A PRETTY TIGHT 

2147
01:27:09,224 --> 01:27:12,360
BUDGET. UM, BUT I DO THINK THAT 

2148
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:13,494
OTHER FIELD HAD DID COME UP IN 

2149
01:27:13,494 --> 01:27:15,463
THE CONVERSATION. SO WE'LL GET 

2150
01:27:15,463 --> 01:27:17,498
YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT. WE HAD A 

2151
01:27:17,498 --> 01:27:20,535
SLIDE. THANK YOU. WE HAD A SLIDE

2152
01:27:20,535 --> 01:27:21,603
LAST YEAR THAT INCLUDED JUDKINS 

2153
01:27:21,603 --> 01:27:23,338
FIELD, THAT PARK THAT I'M 

2154
01:27:23,338 --> 01:27:24,172
TALKING ABOUT UP NORTH. AND 

2155
01:27:24,172 --> 01:27:26,007
ANOTHER ONE, I THINK IT WAS ONE 

2156
01:27:26,007 --> 01:27:26,641
IN COUNCILMEMBER SAKA DISTRICT. 

2157
01:27:26,641 --> 01:27:28,843
I'M NOT SURE MY VOTE. IF YOU 

2158
01:27:28,843 --> 01:27:30,411
ALL HAD A IT WOULD BE IN 

2159
01:27:30,411 --> 01:27:31,779
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA'S 

2160
01:27:31,779 --> 01:27:33,414
DISTRICT, AND THAT WOULD HAVE 

2161
01:27:33,414 --> 01:27:34,916
BEEN THAT PARK UP NORTH FOR THAT

2162
01:27:34,916 --> 01:27:36,851
FALLEN SOLDIER. I'M NOT GOING 

2163
01:27:36,851 --> 01:27:39,053
TO, UM, TAKE A VOTE HERE, BUT IF

2164
01:27:39,053 --> 01:27:41,022
IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT 

2165
01:27:41,022 --> 01:27:43,024
WOULD BE MY ASK FOR THAT PARK 

2166
01:27:43,024 --> 01:27:44,859
THAT HAD THREE FIELDS OR MAYBE 

2167
01:27:44,859 --> 01:27:46,527
TWO, I DON'T KNOW. I CAN'T 

2168
01:27:46,527 --> 01:27:47,695
REMEMBER HOW MANY FIELDS, BUT 

2169
01:27:47,695 --> 01:27:49,731
THAT WOULD THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN 

2170
01:27:49,731 --> 01:27:50,832
MY PREFERENCE, UM, AS WELL. BUT 

2171
01:27:50,832 --> 01:27:53,601
I, I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE A 

2172
01:27:53,601 --> 01:27:54,702
PROCESS, BUT I'M ROOTING FOR 

2173
01:27:54,702 --> 01:27:56,437
THAT PARK. THANK YOU. FOR 

2174
01:27:56,437 --> 01:27:58,006
SHARING. THANK YOU. COUNCIL 

2175
01:27:58,006 --> 01:27:59,173
PRESIDENT. UM, I JUST HAVE A FEW

2176
01:27:59,173 --> 01:28:01,909
FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS I WANT TO 

2177
01:28:01,909 --> 01:28:04,112
CLEAR UP JUST SOME BASIC, UM, 

2178
01:28:04,112 --> 01:28:05,246
CAN YOU REMIND ME, MICHELLE, 

2179
01:28:05,246 --> 01:28:07,715
WHEN WAS THE FIRST THE DATE ON 

2180
01:28:07,715 --> 01:28:09,651
OUR FIRST INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT 

2181
01:28:09,651 --> 01:28:14,956
BETWEEN THE CITY OF SEATTLE AND 

2182
01:28:14,956 --> 01:28:18,559
MPD? SO PARK DISTRICT. IT WAS 

2183
01:28:18,559 --> 01:28:20,561
DRAFTED IN 2014 WHEN THE BALLOT 

2184
01:28:20,561 --> 01:28:24,132
MEASURE. RIGHT. IT WASN'T SIGNED

2185
01:28:24,132 --> 01:28:26,000
UNTIL AFTER IT PASSED. AND THERE

2186
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:27,935
WAS A SEATTLE PARK DISTRICT 

2187
01:28:27,935 --> 01:28:31,873
BOARD TO SIGN IT. UM, SO IT WAS,

2188
01:28:31,873 --> 01:28:33,775
I THINK, SIGNED IN 2015, BUT IT 

2189
01:28:33,775 --> 01:28:37,478
WAS. SO HAVE WE UPDATED THAT 

2190
01:28:37,478 --> 01:28:42,283
SINCE? I CAN'T REMEMBER. WE 

2191
01:28:42,283 --> 01:28:44,452
HAVE UPDATED IT. I THINK, UM, 

2192
01:28:44,452 --> 01:28:52,327
BUT THERE HAVE BEEN PRETTY 

2193
01:28:52,460 --> 01:29:02,937
ARE WE STILL ON TV? IT JUST OH, 

2194
01:29:10,912 --> 01:29:13,514
HERE WE GO. ARE WE HERE? OKAY, 

2195
01:29:13,514 --> 01:29:16,451
OKAY. WELL, THAT WAS OKAY. SO 

2196
01:29:16,451 --> 01:29:17,185
THE ONLY ISSUES AND NOW SOME OF 

2197
01:29:17,185 --> 01:29:18,753
IT'S COMING BACK TO ME WHEN 

2198
01:29:18,753 --> 01:29:20,621
TRACI WAS STILL DOING OUR STUFF.

2199
01:29:20,621 --> 01:29:23,658
UM, NOT NOT NOTHING AGAINST YOU.

2200
01:29:23,658 --> 01:29:25,426
SO I THINK THAT THOSE WERE 

2201
01:29:25,426 --> 01:29:25,960
TECHNICAL CHANGES TO THE 

2202
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:27,261
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT. MAYBE IT 

2203
01:29:27,261 --> 01:29:30,465
WHOEVER CHAIRS OR IS THE NEXT 

2204
01:29:30,465 --> 01:29:34,302
PRESIDENT OF MPD. UM, CAN 

2205
01:29:34,302 --> 01:29:35,236
REVISIT THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT

2206
01:29:35,236 --> 01:29:37,071
BECAUSE I THINK WHAT I'M HEARING

2207
01:29:37,071 --> 01:29:38,306
AND WHAT I'VE SEEN SINCE I'VE 

2208
01:29:38,306 --> 01:29:41,309
BEEN BACK, AND THIS HAS ALWAYS 

2209
01:29:41,309 --> 01:29:43,111
BEEN AN ISSUE, IS, UM, I THINK 

2210
01:29:43,111 --> 01:29:48,983
THAT SINCE 2014 OR 2016, I THINK

2211
01:29:48,983 --> 01:29:49,584
THAT WE'VE KIND OF OUTGROWN 

2212
01:29:49,584 --> 01:29:52,620
THE, UM, THE, THE, UM, MID, THE 

2213
01:29:52,620 --> 01:29:55,423
CYCLE OF WHEN YOU REPORT FOR THE

2214
01:29:55,423 --> 01:29:58,159
MPD, DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?

2215
01:29:58,159 --> 01:29:58,793
SO WE DO IT TWICE A YEAR. WE DO 

2216
01:29:58,793 --> 01:30:01,596
IT IN JUNE OR JULY. THEN WE HAVE

2217
01:30:01,596 --> 01:30:02,597
ONE DURING BUDGET. AND THEN WE 

2218
01:30:02,597 --> 01:30:03,831
HAVE THE FINAL ONE ON THE DAY. 

2219
01:30:03,831 --> 01:30:05,633
SO THAT'S THREE. BUT WHAT I 

2220
01:30:05,633 --> 01:30:06,834
THINK WHAT WHAT I'M HEARING 

2221
01:30:06,834 --> 01:30:08,870
HERE, WHAT I'M SEEING ON THE 

2222
01:30:08,870 --> 01:30:12,507
TIMING IS BECAUSE AND AGAIN, I 

2223
01:30:12,507 --> 01:30:13,875
REMEMBER HAVING AND I THINK 

2224
01:30:13,875 --> 01:30:15,143
TRACI DID IT FOR ME, I HAD HER 

2225
01:30:15,143 --> 01:30:17,578
DO A FLOW CHART TO SAY, OKAY, 

2226
01:30:17,578 --> 01:30:20,014
WHERE DO WE START? THE 15 MEMBER

2227
01:30:20,014 --> 01:30:22,784
OVERSIGHT BOARD, YOU START 

2228
01:30:22,784 --> 01:30:25,119
THERE. THEY ADVISE WITH YOU 

2229
01:30:25,119 --> 01:30:27,688
GUYS, SEATTLE PARKS AND REC, THE

2230
01:30:27,688 --> 01:30:30,191
MONEY. AND THEN FROM THERE THEY 

2231
01:30:30,191 --> 01:30:33,194
MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO US. THE

2232
01:30:33,194 --> 01:30:35,029
THE MPD IN WHICH I'M WHOEVER 

2233
01:30:35,029 --> 01:30:36,330
SITS HERE IS THE PRESIDENT, NOT 

2234
01:30:36,330 --> 01:30:38,499
THE NOT THE CHAIR, THE 

2235
01:30:38,499 --> 01:30:39,834
PRESIDENT. AND THEN WHATEVER WE 

2236
01:30:39,834 --> 01:30:40,835
DECIDE HERE WILL GO TO FULL 

2237
01:30:40,835 --> 01:30:44,338
COUNCIL. SO I MIGHT SUGGEST WE 

2238
01:30:44,338 --> 01:30:46,274
REVISIT THAT KIND OF FLOW CHART,

2239
01:30:46,274 --> 01:30:47,375
BECAUSE I THINK WHAT YOU'RE 

2240
01:30:47,375 --> 01:30:48,776
SEEING IS PEOPLE DON'T SEE AN 

2241
01:30:48,776 --> 01:30:52,280
ON RAMP TO HOW TO GET TO MPD 

2242
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:54,282
MONEY FOR THEIR DISTRICTS. UM, 

2243
01:30:54,282 --> 01:30:56,384
SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT PAGE FOUR, 

2244
01:30:56,384 --> 01:30:57,485
AND I ONLY KNOW THIS BECAUSE 

2245
01:30:57,485 --> 01:30:59,921
I'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME, 

2246
01:30:59,921 --> 01:31:01,789
UM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE GENERAL

2247
01:31:01,789 --> 01:31:03,191
FUNDS, SEATTLE PARKS AND REC, 

2248
01:31:03,191 --> 01:31:06,394
THE FUND, AND IT'S $275 MILLION

2249
01:31:06,394 --> 01:31:10,998
OF THAT 87 MILLION IS PARK 

2250
01:31:10,998 --> 01:31:13,968
DISTRICT MPD MONEY ON THE ON THE

2251
01:31:13,968 --> 01:31:15,369
CAPITAL SIDE UM THE GENERAL 

2252
01:31:15,369 --> 01:31:20,541
BUDGET FOR PARKS IS 124 MILLION.

2253
01:31:20,541 --> 01:31:21,175
BUT 42 MILLION AGAIN IS MPD. SO 

2254
01:31:21,175 --> 01:31:27,181
YOU HAVE $129 MILLION. SEATTLE 

2255
01:31:27,181 --> 01:31:27,648
DISTRICT OR MPD THAT 

2256
01:31:27,648 --> 01:31:29,250
COUNCILMEMBERS WANT TO BE ABLE 

2257
01:31:29,250 --> 01:31:30,651
TO ACCESS. AND IN ORDER TO 

2258
01:31:30,651 --> 01:31:33,321
ACCESS IT, THEY WOULD NEED A LOT

2259
01:31:33,321 --> 01:31:34,622
OF NOTICE WHEN THEY CAN REPORT 

2260
01:31:34,622 --> 01:31:37,391
AND WORK WITH YOU VIA. AND ALSO 

2261
01:31:37,391 --> 01:31:38,726
THE OVERSIGHT BOARD TO SAY, 

2262
01:31:38,726 --> 01:31:39,393
THESE ARE THE THINGS WE THINK WE

2263
01:31:39,393 --> 01:31:40,828
NEED IN OUR DISTRICT. I THINK 

2264
01:31:40,828 --> 01:31:41,829
THAT'S THE FRUSTRATION. I 

2265
01:31:41,829 --> 01:31:44,131
DON'T KNOW IF THE MID CYCLE OR 

2266
01:31:44,131 --> 01:31:45,466
THE MODEL THAT WE'VE BEEN USING

2267
01:31:45,466 --> 01:31:47,668
IS, UM, IS USER FRIENDLY 

2268
01:31:47,668 --> 01:31:49,503
ANYMORE. IS THAT WHAT I'M 

2269
01:31:49,503 --> 01:31:50,505
HEARING FROM, FROM FOLKS? UM, 

2270
01:31:50,505 --> 01:31:51,572
LIKE I SAID, WHEN BY THE TIME 

2271
01:31:51,572 --> 01:31:54,609
YOU GET TO US, LIKE TODAY, 

2272
01:31:54,609 --> 01:31:55,776
EVERYTHING'S BAKED IN, IT'S, 

2273
01:31:55,776 --> 01:31:56,811
THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN REALLY 

2274
01:31:56,811 --> 01:31:57,678
DO BECAUSE THE OVERSIGHT BOARD 

2275
01:31:57,678 --> 01:32:00,481
AND THE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS IT, 

2276
01:32:00,481 --> 01:32:01,916
RIGHT? IS THAT FAIR TO SAY? I 

2277
01:32:01,916 --> 01:32:03,684
HEAR. YOU OKAY. AND I THINK I 

2278
01:32:03,684 --> 01:32:05,753
THINK IT'S GREAT. AND I THINK 

2279
01:32:05,753 --> 01:32:08,756
WHAT COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA SHARED

2280
01:32:08,756 --> 01:32:10,725
ABOUT LIKE IN COMMUNITY 

2281
01:32:10,725 --> 01:32:12,326
ENGAGEMENT ALSO TO SEE HOW WE 

2282
01:32:12,326 --> 01:32:15,329
CAN ALIGN AND LEVERAGE YOUR 

2283
01:32:15,329 --> 01:32:16,230
RELATIONSHIPS WITH CONSTITUENTS.

2284
01:32:16,230 --> 01:32:17,265
I WOULD LOVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT

2285
01:32:17,265 --> 01:32:19,267
AS WE WORK TOWARDS. WHEN IS OUR 

2286
01:32:19,267 --> 01:32:23,404
SO OUR SIX YEAR CYCLE IS UP NEXT

2287
01:32:23,404 --> 01:32:25,039
YEAR. UM, IT THE NEXT SIX YEAR 

2288
01:32:25,039 --> 01:32:27,875
CYCLE WOULD BEGIN JANUARY 2029. 

2289
01:32:27,875 --> 01:32:29,911
OKAY. BUT THAT STILL GIVES 

2290
01:32:29,911 --> 01:32:32,380
EVERYONE TIME TO GET ALL THEIR 

2291
01:32:32,380 --> 01:32:34,315
ASKS IN FOR THAT SIX YEAR CYCLE.

2292
01:32:34,315 --> 01:32:35,983
YES. WELL, WE WERE HOPING TO DO 

2293
01:32:35,983 --> 01:32:37,251
IN JUNE WAS TO BRING THE MID 

2294
01:32:37,251 --> 01:32:39,020
CYCLE, WHICH KIND OF TALKS 

2295
01:32:39,020 --> 01:32:40,421
BASELINE, AND THEN TALK TO YOU 

2296
01:32:40,421 --> 01:32:44,559
ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT PLAN. AND I

2297
01:32:44,559 --> 01:32:46,360
THINK WE CAN TALK TO THE NEXT 

2298
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:47,828
PARK DISTRICT BOARD OR PARKS 

2299
01:32:47,828 --> 01:32:50,898
