PROPOSING TO REFURBISH A POOL

00:11:39,432 --> 00:11:39,999
WHILE EVANS HAS SERVED OUR

00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:41,434

382
00:11:48,741 --> 00:11:49,942
LANES, WITH TEN OR MORE SWIMMERS

383
00:11:49,942 --> 00:11:52,111
SHARING A SINGLE LANE DURING A 

384
00:11:52,111 --> 00:11:52,945

385
00:11:52,945 --> 00:11:53,913
A BASKETBALL GAME WITH 20 OR 30 

386
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:55,715

389
00:11:58,984 --> 00:12:02,288
OF THAT, THE LANES ARE NARROW 

390
00:12:02,288 --> 00:12:02,788
THAN MODERN COMPETITION 

391
00:12:02,788 --> 00:12:03,722

THE CITY IS INVESTING $88.5 

404
00:12:24,944 --> 00:12:26,979

FROM PIONEER SQUARE. I'VE BEEN 

436

ATTENDING THE MEETINGS FOR ABOUT

00:13:18,964 --> 00:13:20,566
TWO WEEKS, AND I REMEMBER AT THE

00:13:20,566 --> 00:13:23,169
LAST SEATTLE CITY LIGHT MEETING,

439
00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:25,571
I VOICED CONCERNS ABOUT THE 

440
00:13:25,571 --> 00:13:28,374
COPPER LIGHT. UM, POSTS, LIGHT 

441
00:13:28,374 --> 00:13:30,809
LAMPS GETTING TAKEN AWAY. UM, 

442
00:13:30,809 --> 00:13:32,645
THEY WERE SUGGESTING THAT WE 

443
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:33,679
DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE LIGHT AND 

444
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,714
THEY WANT TO INCREASE THE BUDGET

445
00:13:35,714 --> 00:13:37,616
THAT'S BEEN TAKEN OUT. AND 

446
00:13:37,616 --> 00:13:39,485
KETTLE SAID THAT HE'LL MAKE 

447
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:41,987
SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO 

448
00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:43,622
EXPERIENCE CORPORATE RATING, UM,

449
00:13:43,622 --> 00:13:44,990
VIA SEATTLE CITY LIGHT. AND HE 

450
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:46,292
ASKED TO HAVE A PRIVATE MEETING.

451
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:49,195
SO I'M, I'D LIKE TO HEAR IF 

452
00:13:49,195 --> 00:13:50,196
THERE'S BEEN PROGRESS TO MAKE 

453
00:13:50,196 --> 00:13:52,565
SURE THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN. I 

454
00:13:52,565 --> 00:13:55,167
KNOW THAT I READ AND NOTICED 

455
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:57,002
THAT THERE'S A RESOLUTION THAT 

456
00:13:57,002 --> 00:13:59,672
YOU GUYS MIGHT VOTE ON TODAY 

457
00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:01,240

AUTHORITY TO OBLIGATE CITY OF 

459
00:14:03,809 --> 00:14:07,179

UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO KEEP 

464
00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:19,124
THINGS MOVING FORWARD, BUT JUST 

465
00:14:19,124 --> 00:14:21,293
TO AVOID THE CORPORATE RATING 

466
00:14:21,293 --> 00:14:23,062
THAT WE COULD EXPERIENCE AND TO 

467
00:14:23,062 --> 00:14:24,897
PROMOTE, UM, WHAT A GOOD THING 

468
00:14:24,897 --> 00:14:29,168
IT IS THAT WE OWN THE SEATTLE 

469
00:14:29,168 --> 00:14:31,370
CITY OWNS SEATTLE CITY LIGHT. 

470
00:14:31,370 --> 00:14:32,671
UM, JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THAT FOR

471
00:14:32,671 --> 00:14:35,040
THE BUDGET AND FOR OUR PROPERTY 

472
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,142
THAT WE ALL OWN THE TRUST 

473
00:14:37,142 --> 00:14:38,177

474
00:14:38,177 --> 00:14:43,015
THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE, UM,

475
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:44,049
GIVING AWAY ANY RESOURCES AND 

476
00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:46,185
INSTEAD WE COULD USE THAT 

477
00:14:46,185 --> 00:14:47,686
CAPITAL AND INVEST IT INTO ANY 

478
00:14:47,686 --> 00:14:49,655
KIND OF THING LIKE SOLAR. UM, 

479
00:14:49,655 --> 00:14:52,024
PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON THAT.

SOLAR PANELS SOMEWHERE, AND THEN

770
00:23:27,272 --> 00:23:27,906
WE'RE GETTING THE POWER FROM 

771
00:23:27,906 --> 00:23:29,708

00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:44,856
-- YEP. SO IN THE FUTURE 

779
00:23:44,856 --> 00:23:47,092
PROGRAM, WE WOULD LEVERAGE STATE

780
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:49,928
FUNDING TO RECOVER THE COSTS OF 

781
00:23:49,928 --> 00:23:51,396
BUILDING COMMUNITY SOLAR 

782
00:23:51,396 --> 00:23:52,464
PROJECTS IN COMMUNITY. WE MIGHT 

783
00:23:52,464 --> 00:23:53,999
BUILD THEM ON A CITY OWNED 

784
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:55,100
FACILITY. WE MIGHT BUILD THEM IN

785
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:56,334
COMMUNITY, FOR EXAMPLE, ON A 

786
00:23:56,334 --> 00:23:59,771
FOOD BANK. AND THEN WE WOULD 

787
00:23:59,771 --> 00:24:01,239
TRACK HOW MUCH ENERGY EACH 

788
00:24:01,239 --> 00:24:03,341
SYSTEM GENERATES, AND WE WOULD 

789
00:24:03,341 --> 00:24:03,975
ALLOCATE THE FINANCIAL BENEFIT 

790
00:24:03,975 --> 00:24:06,912
TO THE PARTICIPATING CUSTOMERS. 

791
00:24:06,912 --> 00:24:09,080
-- AND THE PARTICIPATING 

792
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,683
CUSTOMERS ARE THE FOOD BANK. 

793
00:24:11,683 --> 00:24:12,217
-- LOW INCOME CUSTOMERS. 

794
00:24:12,217 --> 00:24:14,686
-- SO SO YOU'RE GETTING MONEY 

795
00:24:14,686 --> 00:24:16,822
FROM GRANTS TO SITUATE THE 

796
00:24:16,822 --> 00:24:18,290
PANELS, THE ENERGY YOU'RE 

797
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:20,559
GETTING FROM THE PANELS, WHICH 

798
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,627
YOU'LL SITUATE IN COMMUNITY. 

799
00:24:22,627 --> 00:24:25,664
YOU'RE THAT YOU'RE OFFERING TO

800
00:24:25,664 --> 00:24:26,198
LOW INCOME CUSTOMERS, THE 

801
00:24:26,198 --> 00:24:28,433
FINANCIAL AT A LOWER PRICE. 

802
00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:29,568
-- EXACTLY. THE FINANCIAL VALUE 

803
00:24:29,568 --> 00:24:30,702
OF THE ENERGY GENERATED TO 

804
00:24:30,702 --> 00:24:30,936
THOSE. 

805
00:24:30,936 --> 00:24:33,405
-- JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I 

806
00:24:33,405 --> 00:24:33,939
WAS TRACKING. 

807
00:24:33,939 --> 00:24:34,673
-- YEAH. BECAUSE WHEN WE FIRST 

808
00:24:34,673 --> 00:24:35,640
LOOKED AT THIS, I THOUGHT YOU 

809
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,042
WERE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING IN 

810
00:24:37,042 --> 00:24:38,677
PANELS. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT

811
00:24:38,677 --> 00:24:39,277
YOU WERE ALREADY PUTTING THE 

812
00:24:39,277 --> 00:24:39,911
PANELS. AND WE GET THE BENEFIT 

813
00:24:39,911 --> 00:24:41,279
OF THE PANELS TO PEOPLE WHO CAN 

814
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:42,948
QUALIFY, WHO ARE LOW INCOME, WHO

815
00:24:42,948 --> 00:24:43,815
DON'T NORMALLY GET TO 

816
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:46,318
PARTICIPATE IN ENERGY. 

817
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:47,986
-- WE HAVE NOT YET BUILT NEW 

818
00:24:47,986 --> 00:24:49,588
COMMUNITY SOLAR PROJECTS. WE DID

819
00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:52,624
BUILD FIVE PROJECTS FROM 2011 TO

820
00:24:52,624 --> 00:24:54,025
2020, BUT THOSE FIVE PROJECTS 

821
00:24:54,025 --> 00:24:55,527
ARE NOW OWNED BY FOUR SITE 

822
00:24:55,527 --> 00:24:57,562
HOSTS, SO THEY ARE NO LONGER OUR

823
00:24:57,562 --> 00:24:59,297
PROJECTS, AND WE'RE NO LONGER 

824
00:24:59,297 --> 00:25:01,566
ALLOCATING THOSE BENEFITS TO 

825
00:25:01,566 --> 00:25:01,867
CUSTOMERS. 

826
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:02,801
-- OH, OKAY. I THOUGHT THEY 

827
00:25:02,801 --> 00:25:05,003
STILL WERE ALL. 

828
00:25:05,003 --> 00:25:06,338
-- THE PROJECT SITE HOSTS ARE 

829
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:07,939
BENEFITING FROM THOSE PROJECTS, 

830
00:25:07,939 --> 00:25:09,841
AND THEY'RE PARTICIPATING IN 

831
00:25:09,841 --> 00:25:10,275
OUR SOLAR PROGRAMS. 

832
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:12,544
-- SO WHEN YOU SAY 1200 

833
00:25:12,544 --> 00:25:15,247
CUSTOMERS PARTICIPATED, WHO 

834
00:25:15,247 --> 00:25:17,015
WHO'S THE 1200 CUSTOMERS? 

835
00:25:17,015 --> 00:25:18,383
-- I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY THE 

836
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:19,885
MAKEUP, BUT THEY BOUGHT SHARES 

837
00:25:19,885 --> 00:25:21,019
IN EACH PROJECT AND THAT SHARE 

838
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:22,520
WAS WORTH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF 

839
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,124
SOLAR ENERGY. AND THEN WE 

840
00:25:26,124 --> 00:25:26,691
REFLECTED THE VALUE OF THAT 

841
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:27,158
ENERGY ON THEIR BILL. 

842
00:25:27,158 --> 00:25:28,627
-- OKAY, NOW I UNDERSTAND YOU. 

843
00:25:28,627 --> 00:25:35,934
OKAY, COUNCILOR RIVERA, I KNOW 

844
00:25:35,934 --> 00:25:36,468
-- I WILL GET THERE. 

845
00:25:36,468 --> 00:25:37,702
-- WE'LL GET THERE. OKAY. 

846
00:25:37,702 --> 00:25:38,069
-- WE'LL GET. 

847
00:25:38,069 --> 00:25:39,437
-- WE'LL WE'LL LET YOU. WE'RE

848
00:25:39,437 --> 00:25:41,039
JUST TRYING TO I'M JUST TRYING 

849
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:43,141
TO MAKE SURE WE WE UNDERSTAND. 

850
00:25:43,141 --> 00:25:44,376
SO THANK YOU. OF COURSE. 

851
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:45,610
-- BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT JUST 

852
00:25:45,610 --> 00:25:47,045
GETTING YOU'RE NOT SITUATING 

853
00:25:47,045 --> 00:25:48,013
THE PANELS WITH JUST GRANTS. 

854
00:25:48,013 --> 00:25:49,714
ALSO, PEOPLE ARE PAYING INTO THE

855
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:51,116
SYSTEM TO SITUATE PANELS. 

856
00:25:51,116 --> 00:25:52,450
THAT'S WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY. 

857
00:25:52,450 --> 00:25:55,253
THE PARTICIPANTS ARE 

858
00:25:55,253 --> 00:25:56,788
CONTRIBUTING TO THE PLACEMENT, 

859
00:25:56,788 --> 00:25:58,156
TO THE BUYING OF THE PANELS AND 

860
00:25:58,156 --> 00:25:59,624
PLACEMENT OF THE PANELS. AND 

861
00:25:59,624 --> 00:26:02,494
THEN THEY GET A BENEFIT BACK. 

862
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:04,596
SO, SO THERE ARE LIKE TWO THINGS

863
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,331
GOING ON. AND I GUESS THAT'S 

864
00:26:06,331 --> 00:26:08,967
I'M TRYING TO RECONCILE BOTH 

865
00:26:08,967 --> 00:26:10,502
AND THANK YOU FOR NODDING 

866
00:26:10,502 --> 00:26:12,404
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE, DO YOU AM I

867
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:13,104
ARTICULATING? 

868
00:26:13,104 --> 00:26:13,972
-- YOU'VE GOT IT. YEAH, YOU'RE

869
00:26:13,972 --> 00:26:14,973
YOU'RE TRACKING WELL. SO, UM, 

870
00:26:14,973 --> 00:26:17,842
THIS WHAT THIS ORDINANCE DOES IS

871
00:26:17,842 --> 00:26:20,412
IT PROVIDES CITY LIGHT, THE 

872
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:22,981
FLEXIBILITY TO DESIGN A FUTURE 

873
00:26:22,981 --> 00:26:26,651
COMMUNITY SOLAR PROGRAM. AND 

874
00:26:26,651 --> 00:26:27,352
WE'RE LEADING OFF WITH A PROGRAM

875
00:26:27,352 --> 00:26:28,019
THAT IS FOCUSED ON INCOME 

876
00:26:28,019 --> 00:26:30,355
QUALIFIED CUSTOMERS. SO IN THAT 

877
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:31,856
INSTANCE, THEY'RE NOT 

878
00:26:31,856 --> 00:26:32,390
PURCHASING ANY ADDITIONAL 

879
00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:34,593

ENERGY. BACK TO THEIR BILL AS 

882
00:26:38,930 --> 00:26:41,800
CREDITS. ANOTHER FUTURE FLAVOR 

883
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,068
OF THE PROGRAM. WE MIGHT OPEN 

884
00:26:43,068 --> 00:26:46,204
THIS UP TO SMALL BUSINESSES AND 

885
00:26:46,204 --> 00:26:47,372
MARKET RATE CUSTOMERS THAT 

886
00:26:47,372 --> 00:26:48,606
DECIDE THEY WANT TO PAY A LITTLE

887
00:26:48,606 --> 00:26:52,711
BIT MORE ON THEIR BILL TO, TO 

888
00:26:52,711 --> 00:26:53,912
SUPPORT LOCALLY SITED COMMUNITY 

889

OF THE PROGRAM THAT WENT FROM 

891
00:26:58,083 --> 00:27:00,018
2011 TO 2020, HAT WAS SORT OF 

892
00:27:00,018 --> 00:27:02,253
MIMICKED THAT PARTICULAR DESIGN.

893
00:27:02,253 --> 00:27:03,455
-- OH, OKAY. 

894
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:06,124
-- BUT IN THIS, THE 20 THESE

PAID INTO PARTIAL SITING OF 

903
00:27:22,907 --> 00:27:24,576
THOSE. SO THEY GOT SOME BENEFIT 

904
00:27:24,576 --> 00:27:25,477
BACK. THEY NO LONGER ARE GETTING

905
00:27:25,477 --> 00:27:27,345

YES. OKAY. SO, UM, JUST BRIEFLY,

00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,141
YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THE 

1011
00:30:43,141 --> 00:30:43,808
WHOLE THING INTO THE RECORD, BUT

1012
00:30:43,808 --> 00:30:45,343
SO FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC, WE 

1013
00:30:45,343 --> 00:30:47,011
UNDERSTAND WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT.

1014
00:30:47,011 --> 00:30:49,881
BUT THIS IS KIND OF ON TRACK 

1015
00:30:49,881 --> 00:30:51,549
WITH WHY WE INITIALLY, UM, 

1016
00:30:51,549 --> 00:30:52,851
STARTED TALKING ABOUT A RACE AND

1017
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:55,086

1019
00:30:57,388 --> 00:30:57,855

00:30:57,855 --> 00:30:58,790

LIGHT. WE SEE THEM ALL TIME. 

1024
00:31:03,561 --> 00:31:04,495
WHAT ARE THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS?

1025
00:31:04,495 --> 00:31:06,164
DO THEY OUTWEIGH THE SPACE THAT 

1026
00:31:06,164 --> 00:31:07,765
THEY'RE TAKING? HOW ARE THEY 

1027
00:31:07,765 --> 00:31:09,200
GIVING BACK? CAN YOU JUST

00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,169

00:31:11,169 --> 00:31:11,703
ABOUT THE RACE AND SOCIAL 

1030
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:12,570
JUSTICE PIECE THAT YOU WROTE IN 

1031
00:31:12,570 --> 00:31:12,770
HERE? 

1032
00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:15,039
-- SURE. IT'S A REAL WORK IN 

1033
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:15,740
PROGRESS. WE'RE REALLY COMMITTED

1034
00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:16,908
TO WORKING WITH COMMUNITY AND 

1035
00:31:16,908 --> 00:31:18,643
BUILDING TRUST, AND WE STARTED 

1036
00:31:18,643 --> 00:31:21,412
THIS TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO, 

1037
00:31:21,412 --> 00:31:22,814
AND WE KNEW THAT WE NEEDED TO GO

1038
00:31:22,814 --> 00:31:24,616
AND BE IN COMMUNITY AND SIT AND 

1039
00:31:24,616 --> 00:31:25,783
LISTEN TO WHAT OUR COMMUNITY 

1040
00:31:25,783 --> 00:31:27,852
PRIORITIES AND NOT MAKE ANY 

1041
00:31:27,852 --> 00:31:28,953
ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THESE SOLAR 

1042
00:31:28,953 --> 00:31:31,923
PROJECTS, PROVIDING BENEFIT OR 

1043
00:31:31,923 --> 00:31:33,358
EVEN BEING A VALUE TO COMMUNITY.

1044
00:31:33,358 --> 00:31:34,559
SO WE PARTNERED WITH THE 

1045
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,394
DEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS, 

1046
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:36,961
COMMUNITY LIAISONS PROGRAM, 

1047
00:31:36,961 --> 00:31:38,296
RECOGNIZING THAT THOSE ARE 

1048
00:31:38,296 --> 00:31:39,564
COMMUNITY LEADERS. THEY KNOW 

1049
00:31:39,564 --> 00:31:40,198
WHAT THEIR COMMUNITIES WANT, AND

1050
00:31:40,198 --> 00:31:42,500
THEY CAN HELP CONNECT US WITH 

1051
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:44,402
FOLKS THAT CAN HELP US BETTER 

1052
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:44,969
UNDERSTAND HOW THE UTILITY 

1053
00:31:44,969 --> 00:31:46,638
SHOULD BE DESIGNING A PROGRAM. 

1054
00:31:46,638 --> 00:31:48,339
SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH 

1055
00:31:48,339 --> 00:31:50,341
THOSE SEALS, AS THEY'RE REFERRED

1056
00:31:50,341 --> 00:31:53,278
TO FOR SOME TIME, AND IT TAKES 

1057
00:31:53,278 --> 00:31:53,978
TIME TO BUILD TRUST. SO FIRST 

1058
00:31:53,978 --> 00:31:55,213
IT'S BUILDING TRUST WITH THEM 

1059
00:31:55,213 --> 00:31:56,314
AND THEN IS ATTENDING COMMUNITY 

1060
00:31:56,314 --> 00:31:57,882
EVENTS AND NOT ASKING FOR 

1061
00:31:57,882 --> 00:31:58,449
ANYTHING. AND THEN IS BEING 

1062
00:31:58,449 --> 00:32:01,252
REALLY INTENTIONAL ABOUT 

1063
00:32:01,252 --> 00:32:02,620
STRUCTURING A GUIDE AND 

1064
00:32:02,620 --> 00:32:04,222
QUESTIONS IN A WAY FOR THOSE 

1065
00:32:04,222 --> 00:32:04,822
COMMUNITY LEADERS TO INTERACT 

1066
00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:06,691
AND ASK, HEY, DO YOU WANT 

1067
00:32:06,691 --> 00:32:08,092
COMMUNITY SOLAR? IF WE DID SITE 

1068
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:09,894
COMMUNITY SOLAR, WHAT ARE YOUR 

1069
00:32:09,894 --> 00:32:11,896
CONCERNS? DO YOU HAVE SAFETY 

1070
00:32:11,896 --> 00:32:12,563
CONCERNS? WHAT ABOUT BATTERIES? 

1071
00:32:12,563 --> 00:32:14,666
WHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?

1072
00:32:14,666 --> 00:32:15,833
AND WHAT WE'VE HEARD IS, YES, 

1073
00:32:15,833 --> 00:32:17,368
THEY WANT COMMUNITY SOLAR. THERE

1074
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:18,569
ARE SAFETY CONCERNS, OF COURSE, 

1075
00:32:18,569 --> 00:32:20,038
AND RIGHTFULLY SO, ESPECIALLY 

1076
00:32:20,038 --> 00:32:24,075
WHEN IT COMES TO BATTERIES. AND 

1077
00:32:24,075 --> 00:32:24,642
ALSO THEY WANT EDUCATIONAL 

1078
00:32:24,642 --> 00:32:25,243
OPPORTUNITIES. SO THEY'RE 

1079
00:32:25,243 --> 00:32:25,910
THINKING ABOUT WORKFORCE 

1080
00:32:25,910 --> 00:32:27,812
DEVELOPMENT. THEY'RE THINKING 

1081
00:32:27,812 --> 00:32:28,780
ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE AND NEEDING 

1082
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:30,481
TO UNDERSTAND, WELL, HOW DOES 

1083
00:32:30,481 --> 00:32:32,216
SOLAR EVEN WORK? AND SO WE'RE 

1084
00:32:32,216 --> 00:32:33,918
WE'RE LISTENING AND WE'RE 

1085
00:32:33,918 --> 00:32:35,653
HEARING THEM AND WE'RE, WE'RE 

1086
00:32:35,653 --> 00:32:36,587
PLANNING TO INTEGRATE ALL OF 

1087
00:32:36,587 --> 00:32:38,122
THIS FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE 

1088
00:32:38,122 --> 00:32:38,656
RECEIVED INTO OUR PROGRAM 

1089
00:32:38,656 --> 00:32:40,325
DESIGN. AND WE REALLY JUST HAVE 

1090
00:32:40,325 --> 00:32:41,793
STARTED THAT PROGRAM DESIGN. SO 

1091
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:43,561

BE TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE 

1095
00:32:48,132 --> 00:32:50,268
ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHY 

1096
00:32:50,268 --> 00:32:50,568

I KIND OF WANTED TO GIVE A PLUG 

1100
00:32:56,441 --> 00:32:58,343
TO THE COMMUNITY FOLKS THROUGH 

1101
00:32:58,343 --> 00:32:58,943

PORTFOLIO OF CUSTOMER ENERGY 

1163
00:34:55,293 --> 00:34:55,927
PROGRAMS, WHEN WE SET OUT AND WE

1164
00:34:55,927 --> 00:34:59,297
HEAR FROM COMMUNITY ABOUT THEIR 

1165
00:34:59,297 --> 00:35:00,565
PREFERENCES AND WHERE WE CAN 

1166
00:35:00,565 --> 00:35:01,332
PROVIDE BENEFITS, WHEN WE SET 

1167
00:35:01,332 --> 00:35:04,202
OUT TO DESIGN A PROGRAM, WE'RE 

1168
00:35:04,202 --> 00:35:05,636
OFTEN TALKING TO OUR UTILITY 

1169
00:35:05,636 --> 00:35:07,305
PEERS TO SEE WHAT WE CAN LEARN 

1170
00:35:07,305 --> 00:35:08,272
FROM OUR PEERS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, 

1171
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:10,274
THINGS THEY LEARNED ALONG THE 

1172
00:35:10,274 --> 00:35:12,110
WAY AND REALLY SPEED THOSE 

1173
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:13,177
LEARNINGS THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN 

1174
00:35:13,177 --> 00:35:14,378
PROCESS. SO ALEX AND TEAM HAVE 

1175
00:35:14,378 --> 00:35:16,781
TALKED TO MANY OF OUR PEERS HERE

1176
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:18,916
LOCALLY, INCLUDING PUGET SOUND 

1177
00:35:18,916 --> 00:35:20,384
ENERGY, UM, SNOHOMISH, I BELIEVE

1178
00:35:20,384 --> 00:35:23,154
AS WELL. SNOHOMISH, PUD. THERE 

1179
00:35:23,154 --> 00:35:23,788
HAVE BEEN OTHER UTILITIES HERE 

1180
00:35:23,788 --> 00:35:25,656
IN THE NORTHWEST THAT HAVE TAKEN

1181
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:28,626
ADVANTAGE OF THESE EARLY PHASES 

1182
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:30,862
OF THE WASHINGTON STATE 

1183
00:35:30,862 --> 00:35:31,429
UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY SOLAR 

1184
00:35:31,429 --> 00:35:32,430
EXPANSION PROGRAM. SEATTLEITE 

1185
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:33,564
HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT 

1186
00:35:33,564 --> 00:35:35,700
THUS FAR, AND WE'RE REALLY 

1187
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:37,168
EXCITED TO, UH, TRY TO ACCESS 

1188
00:35:37,168 --> 00:35:38,769
SOME OF THAT CAPITAL TO PROVIDE 

1189
00:35:38,769 --> 00:35:40,638
BENEFITS TO OUR COMMUNITY. 

1190
00:35:40,638 --> 00:35:43,741
-- THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND THE 

1191
00:35:43,741 --> 00:35:45,343
THE LOCAL UTILITIES AND 

1192
00:35:45,343 --> 00:35:46,944
ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE STATE NEXUS

1193
00:35:46,944 --> 00:35:50,515
WITH THE, UH, WAZOO GRANT, BUT,

WE'RE SEEKING TO EMULATE 

1202
00:36:05,796 --> 00:36:08,733
ANYTHING THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF. 

1203
00:36:08,733 --> 00:36:10,735
-- WE'RE PART OF THE NATIONWIDE

1204
00:36:10,735 --> 00:36:11,302
COMMUNITY SOLAR PARTNERSHIP 

1205
00:36:11,302 --> 00:36:12,270
PROGRAM. SO WE'RE TALKING WITH 

1206
00:36:12,270 --> 00:36:14,372
OUR PEERS IN OTHER STATES ABOUT 

1207
00:36:14,372 --> 00:36:15,773
WHAT'S WORKED AND WHAT HASN'T.

1208
00:36:15,773 --> 00:36:17,808
THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN STATE 

1209
00:36:17,808 --> 00:36:18,509
LEGISLATION THAT'S REQUIRED THAT

1210
00:36:18,509 --> 00:36:19,443
UTILITIES OFFER COMMUNITY SOLAR.

1211
00:36:19,443 --> 00:36:20,211
SO WE'RE LEARNING A LOT STATES 

1212
00:36:20,211 --> 00:36:22,513
LIKE COLORADO, NEW YORK IS 

1213
00:36:22,513 --> 00:36:23,814
PRETTY FAR ALONG AS WELL. SO 

1214
00:36:23,814 --> 00:36:24,482
IT'S AN ITERATIVE PROCESS. WE 

1215
00:36:24,482 --> 00:36:25,750
REACH OUT, WE TALK, WE HAVE AN 

1216
00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:28,252
IDEA, WE GO OUT AGAIN, AND WE'RE

00:36:28,252 --> 00:36:29,754
DEFINITELY KEEPING TABS ON THE 

1218
00:36:29,754 --> 00:36:31,422
GENERAL STATE OF COMMUNITY 

1219
00:36:31,422 --> 00:36:32,690
SOLAR. AS WE MOVE INTO FULL 

1220
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:34,192
PROGRAM DESIGN. 

1221
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:36,294
-- GOT IT. UH, SO I UNDERSTAND 

1222
00:36:36,294 --> 00:36:37,962
INCOME QUALIFIED CUSTOMERS IS, 

1223
00:36:37,962 --> 00:36:41,465
IS SORT OF ONE METRIC YOU'LL, 

1224
00:36:41,465 --> 00:36:45,136
YOU'LL USE TO GUIDE THIS WORK. 

1225
00:36:45,136 --> 00:36:46,571
UM, WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE SOME 

1226
00:36:46,571 --> 00:36:48,272
OTHER KIND OF HIGH LEVEL 

1227
00:36:48,272 --> 00:36:50,541
EVALUATION CRITERIA YOU ALL 

1228
00:36:50,541 --> 00:36:52,343
ANTICIPATE ON LEVERAGING TO, TO 

1229
00:36:52,343 --> 00:36:55,880
GUIDE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS. 

1230
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,082
-- UM 

1231
00:36:58,082 --> 00:36:59,917
-- SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH 

1232
00:36:59,917 --> 00:37:00,451
THE COMMUNITY LIAISONS TO 

1233
00:37:00,451 --> 00:37:02,820
DEVELOP SOME DRAFT SITING 

1234
00:37:02,820 --> 00:37:05,222
CRITERIA TO THINK STRATEGICALLY 

1235
00:37:05,222 --> 00:37:06,791
ABOUT HOW WE CAN BALANCE UTILITY

1236
00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:08,059
NEEDS. SO THE TECHNICAL NEEDS 

1237
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:10,061
AND OPERATIONAL NEEDS WITH 

1238
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:12,296
COMMUNITY PRIORITIES. SO THINGS 

1239
00:37:12,296 --> 00:37:13,397
LIKE, IS THE BUILDING READY? IS 

1240
00:37:13,397 --> 00:37:15,066
IT IN A HIGHLY IMPACTED 

1241
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:18,769
COMMUNITY? IS IT AT AN EXISTING 

1242
00:37:18,769 --> 00:37:20,304
HONORED COMMUNITY SITE? IS IT 

1243
00:37:20,304 --> 00:37:21,606
VALUABLE FOR OUR GRID? SO WE'VE

1244
00:37:21,606 --> 00:37:23,874
DONE SOME WORK TO MODEL WHAT 

1245
00:37:23,874 --> 00:37:25,776
FEEDER LINES AND TRANSFORMERS 

1246
00:37:25,776 --> 00:37:27,645
CAN ACCOMMODATE CERTAIN SIZED 

1247
00:37:27,645 --> 00:37:29,180
SOLAR PROJECTS. SO WE'LL HAVE 

1248
00:37:29,180 --> 00:37:30,147
THAT INFORMATION AND BE ABLE TO 

1249
00:37:30,147 --> 00:37:32,116
LAYER IT WITH WHAT WE KNOW 

1250
00:37:32,116 --> 00:37:34,418
COMMUNITY WANTS AND NEEDS. AND 

1251
00:37:34,418 --> 00:37:36,287
AS WE ENTER DESIGN, WE'LL THINK

1252
00:37:36,287 --> 00:37:38,155
ABOUT MORE CRITERIA RELATED TO 

1253
00:37:38,155 --> 00:37:39,991
HOW WE ENROLL CUSTOMERS, FOR 

1254
00:37:39,991 --> 00:37:41,525
EXAMPLE, AND HOW WE SHOW THEM A 

1255
00:37:41,525 --> 00:37:42,760
FINANCIAL BENEFIT. BUT WE'RE 

1256
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,995
STILL AT THE EARLY STAGES OF 

1257
00:37:43,995 --> 00:37:46,264
DESIGN. 

1258
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:46,931
-- WITH THE PROGRAM PRIMARILY 

1259
00:37:46,931 --> 00:37:49,934

1261
00:37:52,036 --> 00:37:53,571
CUSTOMERS, A MIXTURE OF BOTH. IF

1262
00:37:53,571 --> 00:37:56,107
BOTH LIKE, WHAT IS THE ROUGH 

1263
00:37:56,107 --> 00:37:58,175
SPLIT THAT YOU ANTICIPATE THERE.

1264
00:37:58,175 --> 00:38:00,411
-- INITIALLY, RESIDENTIAL 

1265
00:38:00,411 --> 00:38:02,246
CUSTOMERS THAT ARE AT 80% OF THE

1266
00:38:02,246 --> 00:38:04,582
AREA MEDIAN INCOME, IT'S LIKELY

1267
00:38:04,582 --> 00:38:07,251
THAT WE'LL MATCH TO OUR NEW 

1268
00:38:07,251 --> 00:38:09,220
UTILITY DISCOUNT PROGRAM INCOME 

1269
00:38:09,220 --> 00:38:10,855
THRESHOLD OF 60% OF AREA MEDIAN 

1270
00:38:10,855 --> 00:38:13,391
INCOME, WHICH WILL BROADEN THE 

1271
00:38:13,391 --> 00:38:14,859
OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS TO 

1272
00:38:14,859 --> 00:38:17,194
PARTICIPATE. THE STATE REQUIRES 

1273
00:38:17,194 --> 00:38:18,796
THAT THE BENEFIT BE OFFERED FOR 

1274
00:38:18,796 --> 00:38:20,498
TEN YEARS TO CUSTOMERS THAT ARE 

1275
00:38:20,498 --> 00:38:24,302
AT THE 80% AMI THRESHOLD. 

1276
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:27,304
-- GOT IT. AND FINAL QUESTION 

1277
00:38:27,304 --> 00:38:29,540
IS, YOU KNOW, IF THIS PROPOSAL 

1278
00:38:29,540 --> 00:38:32,043
PASSES, LIKE ROUGHLY HOW MANY 

1279
00:38:32,043 --> 00:38:35,212
PROJECTS DO YOU ANTICIPATE, LIKE

1280
00:38:35,212 --> 00:38:35,946
BRING IT TO LIFE OR WHAT IS YOUR

1281
00:38:35,946 --> 00:38:37,682
DO YOU HAVE A GOAL FOR THE 

1282
00:38:37,682 --> 00:38:40,251
NUMBER OF PROJECTS IF THIS 

1283
00:38:40,251 --> 00:38:42,353
PROPOSAL PASSES? AND ROUGHLY HOW

1284
00:38:42,353 --> 00:38:43,721
MANY CORRESPONDING CUSTOMERS 

1285
00:38:43,721 --> 00:38:45,856
WOULD THAT WOULD THAT SERVE? 

1286
00:38:45,856 --> 00:38:48,326
-- GREAT QUESTION. SO WE'RE 

1287
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:50,428
EARLY IN DESIGN AGAIN, AND WE'RE

1288
00:38:50,428 --> 00:38:52,930
THINKING WE COULD COVER ABOUT 

1289
00:38:52,930 --> 00:38:55,132
90% OF A TYPICAL LOW IN LOW 

1290
00:38:55,132 --> 00:38:57,802
INCOME CUSTOMERS ELECTRICITY 

1291
00:38:57,802 --> 00:38:59,070
BILL. AND IF WE BUILT FOUR 

1292
00:38:59,070 --> 00:39:00,504
MEGAWATTS, THAT'S OUR GOAL. WE 

1293
00:39:00,504 --> 00:39:04,141
COULD SERVE ABOUT 700 CUSTOMERS.

1294
00:39:04,141 --> 00:39:07,111
WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO 

1295
00:39:07,111 --> 00:39:08,112
DETERMINE BREADTH VERSUS DEPTH 

1296
00:39:08,112 --> 00:39:10,081
SO WE COULD COVER LESS OF AN 

1297
00:39:10,081 --> 00:39:11,949
ELECTRICITY BILL AND HAVE A 

1298
00:39:11,949 --> 00:39:13,551
LESS, LESSER FINANCIAL BENEFIT, 

1299
00:39:13,551 --> 00:39:15,252
BUT OFFER THE PROGRAM TO MORE 

1300
00:39:15,252 --> 00:39:16,854
CUSTOMERS. WE'LL NEED TO DIVE 

1301
00:39:16,854 --> 00:39:18,289
INTO THOSE DETAILS IN THE COMING

1302
00:39:18,289 --> 00:39:18,522
MONTHS. 

1303
00:39:18,522 --> 00:39:20,291
-- YEAH, NOW THAT MAKES SENSE. 

1304
00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:22,259
WELL, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS 

1305
00:39:22,259 --> 00:39:23,427
PROPOSAL. OVERALL, I WOULD 

1306
00:39:23,427 --> 00:39:25,396
ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT, 

1307
00:39:25,396 --> 00:39:27,498
UH, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOODS. AND

1308
00:39:27,498 --> 00:39:28,899
I THINK I HEARD THAT AS PART OF 

1309
00:39:28,899 --> 00:39:30,401
YOUR POTENTIAL EVALUATION 

1310
00:39:30,401 --> 00:39:32,770
CRITERIA THAT ARE ALREADY 

1311
00:39:32,770 --> 00:39:34,271
OVERBURDENED AND OVER POLLUTED. 

1312
00:39:34,271 --> 00:39:36,040
UM, AND, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, 

1313
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,942
DURING THE RECENT SEATTLE 

1314
00:39:37,942 --> 00:39:38,576
TRANSIT MEASURE CONVERSATIONS WE

1315
00:39:38,576 --> 00:39:42,279
HAD HERE, UH, WE, WE PASSED AN 

1316
00:39:42,279 --> 00:39:44,382
AMENDMENT TO PRIORITIZE ELECTRIC

1317
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:46,317
BUS DEPLOYMENT IN THE DUWAMISH 

1318
00:39:46,317 --> 00:39:49,053
VALLEY OF A VERY, UH, CLIMATE 

1319
00:39:49,053 --> 00:39:52,790
BURDENED, UM, AND HISTORICALLY 

1320
00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:53,958
MARGINALIZED AND POLLUTED 

1321
00:39:53,958 --> 00:39:56,393
NEIGHBORHOOD. UH, SO I WOULD 

1322
00:39:56,393 --> 00:39:57,795
ENCOURAGE YOU TO, YOU KNOW, 

1323
00:39:57,795 --> 00:39:59,396
START THERE AS A STARTING POINT 

1324
00:39:59,396 --> 00:40:02,233
FOR THOSE CUSTOMERS. AND 

1325
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:02,967
ORGANIZATIONS THAT WANT, WANT 

1326
00:40:02,967 --> 00:40:05,836
IT. AND I IMAGINE NOT EVERYONE 

1327
00:40:05,836 --> 00:40:07,938
OBVIOUSLY MIGHT WANT THIS, BUT, 

1328
00:40:07,938 --> 00:40:09,607
UH, BUT, UM, I'M EXCITED ABOUT 

1329
00:40:09,607 --> 00:40:11,142
THIS OVERALL. SO THANK YOU. 

1330
00:40:11,142 --> 00:40:12,209
-- THANK YOU. ALEX, I HAVE A 

1331
00:40:12,209 --> 00:40:13,811
QUESTION. BUT IT'S AND IF YOU 

1332
00:40:13,811 --> 00:40:15,446
DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER, THAT'S 

1333
00:40:15,446 --> 00:40:16,714
OKAY. BUT I JUST WAS WONDERING 

1334
00:40:16,714 --> 00:40:22,153
IF, IF WE'RE DOING 80, 80%, AM 

1335
00:40:22,153 --> 00:40:23,154
I FOR THE SOLAR? AND YOU KNOW, 

1336
00:40:23,154 --> 00:40:24,688
THAT WE LOWERED IT TO 60. AM I 

1337
00:40:24,688 --> 00:40:25,890
FOR THE UTILITY DISCOUNT 

1338
00:40:25,890 --> 00:40:26,757
PROGRAM? I WAS JUST THINKING 

1339
00:40:26,757 --> 00:40:27,425
THAT WHEN YOU WERE SAYING IT, 

1340
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:30,094
BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO SAY IT 

1341
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:33,130
ANYWAY. UM, WHY WOULDN'T WE HAVE

1342
00:40:33,130 --> 00:40:33,798
WITHIN THE ORDINANCE OR THE 

1343
00:40:33,798 --> 00:40:36,367
AMENDMENT OR, UM, JUST GO AHEAD 

1344
00:40:36,367 --> 00:40:39,003
AND LOWER THAT TO 60. NOW. 

1345
00:40:39,003 --> 00:40:43,774
-- SO, THE AT LEAST 80% AM I IS 

1346
00:40:43,774 --> 00:40:45,576
A REQUIREMENT OF THE GRANT. UM, 

1347
00:40:45,576 --> 00:40:47,378
WE HAVE FLEXIBILITY IN PROGRAM 

1348
00:40:47,378 --> 00:40:50,681
DESIGN TO, TO, UM, DRAW OUR 

1349
00:40:50,681 --> 00:40:52,449
ELIGIBILITY LINES WHERE WE MAY, 

1350
00:40:52,449 --> 00:40:55,085
UM, AND PLAN TO MIMIC THE 

1351
00:40:55,085 --> 00:40:56,720
ELIGIBILITY FOR UTILITY DISCOUNT

1352
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:56,987
PROGRAM. 

1353
00:40:56,987 --> 00:40:57,655
-- RIGHT. WHAT I'M ASKING, WHY 

1354
00:40:57,655 --> 00:41:01,926
WOULDN'T YOU JUST DO IT TODAY 

1355
00:41:01,926 --> 00:41:03,727
-- WELL. GENERALLY WE DON'T, WE

1356
00:41:03,727 --> 00:41:06,463
DON'T PUT PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY 

1357
00:41:06,463 --> 00:41:07,097
INTO THE ORDINANCE BECAUSE THE 

1358
00:41:07,097 --> 00:41:09,300
UDP PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY MAY 

1359
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:10,167
CHANGE OVER TIME. AND THIS 

1360
00:41:10,167 --> 00:41:12,870
ALLOWS US TO MIMIC AND KIND OF 

1361
00:41:12,870 --> 00:41:15,606
KEEP IT UPDATED WITH THAT. MANY 

1362
00:41:15,606 --> 00:41:17,474
OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE INITIAL 

1363
00:41:17,474 --> 00:41:20,077
ORDINANCE THAT YOU THAT WAS 

1364
00:41:20,077 --> 00:41:23,380
AMENDED, UM, BROUGHT IN A LOT OF

1365
00:41:23,380 --> 00:41:24,014
SPECIFIC DESIGN PARAMETERS THAT 

1366
00:41:24,014 --> 00:41:24,849
WERE SPECIFIC TO THE LAST 

1367
00:41:24,849 --> 00:41:27,418
ITERATION OF THE GRANT. AND THEN

1368
00:41:27,418 --> 00:41:29,119
WE HAD, WE'RE BACK HERE TODAY 

1369
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:30,120
TO AMEND ALL THAT TO MAKE IT. SO

1370
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,355
WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT A 

1371
00:41:31,355 --> 00:41:32,790
LITTLE BIT BROADER AND MORE 

1372
00:41:32,790 --> 00:41:34,425
FLEXIBLE FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF 

1373
00:41:34,425 --> 00:41:36,160
GRANT OPPORTUNITIES, AND TO GIVE

1374
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,162
US FLEXIBILITY TO, TO AMEND 

1375
00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:39,997
PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY BASED ON 

1376
00:41:39,997 --> 00:41:40,698
WHAT WE HEAR FROM CUSTOMERS. 

1377
00:41:40,698 --> 00:41:42,500
-- SO IN A PERFECT WORLD, IN THE

1378
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:43,100
FUTURE, YOU WOULD BE BACK TO 

1379
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:45,336
AMEND IT. IF YOU IF YOU CAN 

1380
00:41:45,336 --> 00:41:48,772
-- UH, IN A, I THINK IDEALLY, 

1381
00:41:48,772 --> 00:41:50,241
THE AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE MAKING

1382
00:41:50,241 --> 00:41:51,642
TODAY PROVIDES US FLEXIBILITY 

1383
00:41:51,642 --> 00:41:53,777
TO, TO, UM, CHANGE THAT 

1384
00:41:53,777 --> 00:41:57,281
ELIGIBILITY OVER TIME AS NEEDED.

1385
00:41:57,281 --> 00:41:58,883
-- ERIC, WERE YOU GOING TO SAY 

1386
00:41:58,883 --> 00:42:00,751
SOMETHING? AYE. 

1387
00:42:00,751 --> 00:42:01,385
-- I JUST WAS ANIMATED BECAUSE I

1388
00:42:01,385 --> 00:42:02,286
WAS FOLLOWING THE CONVERSATION, 

1389
00:42:02,286 --> 00:42:03,354
BUT JUST, JUST TO SAY THAT I 

1390
00:42:03,354 --> 00:42:05,189
THINK THAT THE CHANGES TO THE 

1391
00:42:05,189 --> 00:42:06,690
CODE ALLOW UTILITY, THE 

1392
00:42:06,690 --> 00:42:08,392
FLEXIBILITY TO DESIGN THESE 

1393
00:42:08,392 --> 00:42:09,560
PROGRAMS, THIS FIRST ROUND THAT 

1394
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:10,861
FOLKS ARE TALKING ABOUT WILL BE 

1395
00:42:10,861 --> 00:42:12,530
FOR LOW INCOME CUSTOMERS, BE 

1396
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:13,764
ELIGIBLE ACCORDING TO THESE 

1397
00:42:13,764 --> 00:42:14,598
THRESHOLDS, THE FUTURE THEY 

1398
00:42:14,598 --> 00:42:16,133
COULD BE MARKET RATE, BUT WITHIN

1399
00:42:16,133 --> 00:42:18,302
THAT WHOLE ENVELOPE, IT ALLOWS 

1400
00:42:18,302 --> 00:42:21,071
THESE FOLKS TO SET IT UP TO BE 

1401
00:42:21,071 --> 00:42:22,273
CORRESPONDED WITH UDP OR WHAT 

1402
00:42:22,273 --> 00:42:23,974
HAVE YOU. SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO

1403
00:42:23,974 --> 00:42:24,975
COME IN FOR AN AMENDMENT IN THE 

1404
00:42:24,975 --> 00:42:26,377
FUTURE TO MAKE THEM GOOD. 

1405
00:42:26,377 --> 00:42:27,177
-- OKAY, GREAT. I SEE WHAT 

1406
00:42:27,177 --> 00:42:27,811
YOU'RE SAYING. OKAY, SO YOU 

1407
00:42:27,811 --> 00:42:29,346
DON'T NEED A STATUTORY FIX. 

1408
00:42:29,346 --> 00:42:30,581
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT. 

1409
00:42:30,581 --> 00:42:31,115
-- OKAY. GOT IT. 

1410
00:42:31,115 --> 00:42:32,349
-- OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU 

1411
00:42:32,349 --> 00:42:35,252

1620
00:48:29,673 --> 00:48:31,174
DIDN'T THIS COME OUT OF THE 

1621
00:48:31,174 --> 00:48:33,677
LITIGATION WHERE THE KALISPELL 

1622
00:48:33,677 --> 00:48:36,647
TRIBE SUED PONDERAY BACK IN THE 

1623
00:48:36,647 --> 00:48:38,949
90s? NO IT DIDN'T. OKAY. I JUST

1624
00:48:38,949 --> 00:48:40,217
WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I WAS 

1625
00:48:40,217 --> 00:48:42,653
AT MY THAT WAS MY CASE. SO I WAS

1626
00:48:42,653 --> 00:48:44,521
WONDERING IF THIS WAS IT, BUT. 

1627
00:48:44,521 --> 00:48:45,756
-- SEPARATE ISSUE. THEY 

1628
00:48:45,756 --> 00:48:47,224
NEGOTIATED FAIRLY STRONGLY WITH 

1629
00:48:47,224 --> 00:48:49,559
CITY LIGHT. I THINK DURING THE 

1630
00:48:49,559 --> 00:48:52,963
RELICENSING PROCESS. UM, GOT 

1631
00:48:52,963 --> 00:48:54,665
GENERALLY WHAT THEY WANTED OUT 

1632
00:48:54,665 --> 00:48:56,733
OF US. UM, IN TERMS OF RESOURCE 

1633
00:48:56,733 --> 00:48:59,102
BENEFIT, BUT THAT IS A SEPARATE 

1634
00:48:59,102 --> 00:48:59,503
ISSUE THAN THIS. 

1635
00:48:59,503 --> 00:49:01,238
-- OKAY. I'LL LET YOU GO AHEAD.

1636
00:49:01,238 --> 00:49:02,172
-- OKAY. I'LL TRY NOT TO REPEAT

1637
00:49:02,172 --> 00:49:04,241
TOO MUCH. UM, DENNIS HAD A VERY 

1638
00:49:04,241 --> 00:49:06,877
COMPREHENSIVE, UH, INTRO THERE. 

1639
00:49:06,877 --> 00:49:09,746
SO, UM, IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW,

1640
00:49:09,746 --> 00:49:12,115
THE RIVER IS ACTUALLY IN FAR 

1641
00:49:12,115 --> 00:49:12,749
NORTHEAST WASHINGTON, TWO HOURS 

1642
00:49:12,749 --> 00:49:13,750
NORTH OF SPOKANE. IT FLOWS FROM 

1643
00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:14,952
SOUTH TO NORTH. SO IT'S ONE OF 

1644
00:49:14,952 --> 00:49:18,021
THOSE, UM, DIFFERENT RIVERS. UM,

1645
00:49:18,021 --> 00:49:19,589
NOT MANY DO, BUT THIS ONE DOES. 

1646
00:49:19,589 --> 00:49:23,060
SO 42 YEAR TERM. SO WE'RE GOOD 

1647
00:49:23,060 --> 00:49:24,528
THROUGH 2055. UM WHICH ALLOWS US

1648
00:49:24,528 --> 00:49:28,198
TO OPERATE THE FACILITY, UM 

1649
00:49:28,198 --> 00:49:29,199
CREATING 35% OF THE POWER FOR, 

1650
00:49:29,199 --> 00:49:31,601
FOR THE CITY OF SEATTLE. 

1651
00:49:31,601 --> 00:49:33,203
-- WHAT YEAR IS IT GOOD TO. 

1652
00:49:33,203 --> 00:49:34,905
PARDON ME? TWO YEARS. WHAT DID 

1653
00:49:34,905 --> 00:49:35,272
YOU SAY? 2055. 

1654
00:49:35,272 --> 00:49:37,207
-- YES, MA'AM. 

1655
00:49:37,207 --> 00:49:37,474
-- OKAY. 

1656
00:49:37,474 --> 00:49:40,577
-- UM, THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE 

1657
00:49:40,577 --> 00:49:44,114
ENTIRE LICENSE WAS, UH, NATIVE 

1658
00:49:44,114 --> 00:49:47,250
FISH ENHANCEMENT. UH, IT COMES 

1659
00:49:47,250 --> 00:49:51,288
IN VARIOUS WAYS THROUGH MEASURES

1660
00:49:51,288 --> 00:49:53,690
DIRECTLY RELATED TO FISHERIES, 

1661
00:49:53,690 --> 00:49:55,092
HABITAT ENHANCEMENT. AND WE HAVE

1662
00:49:55,092 --> 00:49:55,692
ACTUALLY A HATCHERY OUT THERE 

1663
00:49:55,692 --> 00:49:58,395
NOW THAT WE BUILT AS PART OF THE

1664
00:49:58,395 --> 00:49:59,162
LICENSE, WHICH WE'RE ACTUALLY 

1665
00:49:59,162 --> 00:50:00,163
PUTTING NATIVE FISH BACK INTO 

1666
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:02,799
THE LANDSCAPE. SO EVERYTHING 

1667
00:50:02,799 --> 00:50:04,334
THAT WE'VE DONE RELATED TO THIS

1668
00:50:04,334 --> 00:50:09,539
LICENSE, UM, FROM THE, FROM THE 

1669
00:50:09,539 --> 00:50:10,774
LICENSE IS PRIMARILY FISHERIES 

1670
00:50:10,774 --> 00:50:13,443
BASED. SO IT'S A PRETTY UNIQUE 

1671
00:50:13,443 --> 00:50:14,444
OPPORTUNITY FOR CITY LIGHT TO 

1672
00:50:14,444 --> 00:50:16,513
MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE 

1673
00:50:16,513 --> 00:50:17,814
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE 

1674
00:50:17,814 --> 00:50:20,984
COMMUNITY ITSELF. UH, THE 

1675
00:50:20,984 --> 00:50:23,120
AGREEMENT REALLY ALSO FOCUSED ON

1676
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:24,654
PRESERVATION OF, UH, CITY 

1677
00:50:24,654 --> 00:50:27,357
LIGHTS, ABILITY TO FLEXIBLY 

1678
00:50:27,357 --> 00:50:31,061
CREATE POWER, PRODUCE POWER, UM,

1679
00:50:31,061 --> 00:50:34,765
THERE ARE NOT, UH, WE DON'T 

1680
00:50:34,765 --> 00:50:36,099
HAVE LOW FLOW RESTRICTIONS. WE 

1681
00:50:36,099 --> 00:50:37,334
DON'T HAVE TO PASS WATER WHEN 

1682
00:50:37,334 --> 00:50:38,568
WE'RE NOT MAKING POWER. UM, SO 

1683
00:50:38,568 --> 00:50:40,237
WE HAVE A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY. 

1684
00:50:40,237 --> 00:50:42,305
AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE PRIMARY 

1685
00:50:42,305 --> 00:50:44,474
FOCUSES OF RELICENSING WAS TO 

1686
00:50:44,474 --> 00:50:45,609
MAINTAIN THAT FLEXIBILITY. UH, 

1687
00:50:45,609 --> 00:50:47,677
THIS IS THE FIRST AMENDMENT 

1688
00:50:47,677 --> 00:50:49,413
SINCE 2013. WE'VE WORKED 

1689
00:50:49,413 --> 00:50:50,547
DILIGENTLY TO IMPLEMENT ALL OF 

1690
00:50:50,547 --> 00:50:51,982
THE, THE MEASURES IN THE LICENSE

1691
00:50:51,982 --> 00:50:54,951
TO DATE. UM, AND THIS IS SORT OF

1692
00:50:54,951 --> 00:50:57,587
A CULMINATION OF YEARS OF 

1693
00:50:57,587 --> 00:50:59,189
SCIENTIFIC DATA COLLECTION TO BE

1694
00:50:59,189 --> 00:51:00,157
ABLE TO GET TO THIS POINT AND 

1695
00:51:00,157 --> 00:51:03,193
MAKE A MEANINGFUL CHANGE IN THE 

1696
00:51:03,193 --> 00:51:03,460
LICENSE. 

1697
00:51:03,460 --> 00:51:05,328
-- HERE'S THE FUN SLIDE. 

1698
00:51:05,328 --> 00:51:09,466
-- YES, MA'AM. UH, SO THE, THE 

1699
00:51:09,466 --> 00:51:11,501
BIGGEST, ONE OF THE BIGGEST COST

1700
00:51:11,501 --> 00:51:14,304
ITEMS IN THE LICENSE IS 

1701
00:51:14,304 --> 00:51:16,072
ENTRAINMENT REDUCTION. SO 

1702
00:51:16,072 --> 00:51:18,275
ENTRAINMENT IS WHEN A FISH 

1703
00:51:18,275 --> 00:51:20,644
PASSES THROUGH THE DAM, EITHER 

1704
00:51:20,644 --> 00:51:22,312
THROUGH THE TURBINES THEMSELVES,

1705
00:51:22,312 --> 00:51:23,447
THROUGH A SPILLWAY, OR IN THIS 

1706
00:51:23,447 --> 00:51:24,815
CASE, THROUGH A SLUICE GATE. 

1707
00:51:24,815 --> 00:51:26,116
-- THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE 

1708
00:51:26,116 --> 00:51:28,452
DEFINITION IN THERE. I WAS 

1709
00:51:28,452 --> 00:51:29,419
WONDERING WHAT ENTRAINMENT MEANT

1710
00:51:29,419 --> 00:51:29,586
TO. 

1711
00:51:29,586 --> 00:51:32,322
-- RIGHT. IT'S KIND OF JARGONY 

1712
00:51:32,322 --> 00:51:33,757
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. 

1713
00:51:33,757 --> 00:51:34,458
-- THAT'S OKAY. JUST JUST SAY 

1714
00:51:34,458 --> 00:51:36,159
IT'S HOW THE FISH GET THROUGH. 

1715
00:51:36,159 --> 00:51:40,297
-- YEAH. SO, UM, SOMETIMES THAT 

1716
00:51:40,297 --> 00:51:41,998
LEADS TO MORTALITY. AND IF 

1717
00:51:41,998 --> 00:51:44,468
MORTALITY HAPPENS TO AN 

1718
00:51:44,468 --> 00:51:45,502
ENDANGERED SPECIES, FISH REALLY 

1719
00:51:45,502 --> 00:51:45,702
BAD. 

1720
00:51:45,702 --> 00:51:47,504
-- NOT GOOD FOR US. THE FISH DIE

1721
00:51:47,504 --> 00:51:47,704
AND. 

1722
00:51:47,704 --> 00:51:49,539
-- THEY CAN DIE. THEY DON'T ALL

1723
00:51:49,539 --> 00:51:50,974
DIE. UM, FISH THAT GO THROUGH 

1724
00:51:50,974 --> 00:51:52,809
THE TURBINES ACTUALLY SURVIVE 

1725
00:51:52,809 --> 00:51:54,377
HAVE A FAIRLY GOOD SURVIVAL 

1726
00:51:54,377 --> 00:51:57,214
RATE. UM, THERE'S SOME PRESSURE

1727
00:51:57,214 --> 00:51:59,082
AND THINGS THAT I THINK MESS 

1728
00:51:59,082 --> 00:52:00,450
WITH THEIR PHYSIOLOGY, BUT WE DO

1729
00:52:00,450 --> 00:52:02,085
HAVE TAGGED FISH THAT WE TAGGED 

1730
00:52:02,085 --> 00:52:03,687
IN THE UPPER RESERVOIR THAT 

1731
00:52:03,687 --> 00:52:04,354
WE'VE CAUGHT BELOW THE DAM. AND

1732
00:52:04,354 --> 00:52:05,689
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO GET 

1733
00:52:05,689 --> 00:52:07,057
THERE. IT'S 350FT TALL AND THEY

1734
00:52:07,057 --> 00:52:09,659
DON'T CLIMB. SO THEY WENT 

1735
00:52:09,659 --> 00:52:12,462
THROUGH UM, SO ENTRAINMENT IS A 

1736
00:52:12,462 --> 00:52:14,097
VERY EXPENSIVE PROCESS. UH, A 

1737
00:52:14,097 --> 00:52:17,868
LOT OF THE ENTRAINMENT, UM 

1738
00:52:17,868 --> 00:52:20,437
PROJECTS ARE RELATED PRIMARILY 

1739
00:52:20,437 --> 00:52:21,905
TO THE WAY THAT THE COLUMBIA 

1740
00:52:21,905 --> 00:52:24,674
RIVER WORKS. UM, THE COLUMBIA 

1741
00:52:24,674 --> 00:52:25,642
RIVER HAS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS 

1742
00:52:25,642 --> 00:52:27,277
OF SALMON. WE DON'T HAVE 

1743
00:52:27,277 --> 00:52:28,712
SALMON, WE HAVE SALMONIDS, WHICH

1744
00:52:28,712 --> 00:52:30,680
ARE TROUT, BUT THEY DON'T GO TO

1745
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,282
THE OCEAN. SO ON THE COLUMBIA 

1746
00:52:32,282 --> 00:52:34,150
RIVER, MANY, MANY FISH GO UP, 

1747
00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:35,752
THEY SPAWN AND THEN THEY'RE 

1748
00:52:35,752 --> 00:52:36,653
LITTLE BABY FISH HEAD OUT 

1749
00:52:36,653 --> 00:52:39,155
TOWARDS THE OCEAN, GETTING THOSE

1750
00:52:39,155 --> 00:52:40,390
LITTLE BABY FISH THROUGH THE 

1751
00:52:40,390 --> 00:52:42,392
DAMS IS SUPER, SUPER IMPORTANT 

1752
00:52:42,392 --> 00:52:45,695
TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THOSE 

1753
00:52:45,695 --> 00:52:48,431
FISH POPULATIONS. MANDATORY 

1754
00:52:48,431 --> 00:52:49,032
CONDITIONING AUTHORITIES FROM 

1755
00:52:49,032 --> 00:52:51,268
FEDERAL AGENCIES DICTATE 

1756
00:52:51,268 --> 00:52:52,302
-- THAT IF YOU GET A FEDERAL 

1757
00:52:52,302 --> 00:52:53,803
LICENSE FOR A HYDROPOWER 

1758
00:52:53,803 --> 00:52:55,205
FACILITY, YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL 

1759
00:52:55,205 --> 00:52:56,773
WITH DOWNSTREAM PASSAGE OF FISH 

1760
00:52:56,773 --> 00:52:57,807
AND UPSTREAM PASSAGE OF FISH. 

1761
00:52:57,807 --> 00:53:02,045
OUR FISH DON'T FIT WELL INTO 

1762
00:53:02,045 --> 00:53:03,313
THEIR BOX. SO OVER THE YEARS, 

1763
00:53:03,313 --> 00:53:06,516
WE'VE REALLY DEVELOPED A LOT OF

1764
00:53:06,516 --> 00:53:09,019
SCIENCE TO TO SHOW, TO 

1765
00:53:09,019 --> 00:53:10,687
DEMONSTRATE THAT OUR FISH DON'T

1766
00:53:10,687 --> 00:53:13,623
ACT LIKE FISH ON THE COLUMBIA 

1767
00:53:13,623 --> 00:53:15,592
RIVER, SALMON, ANADROMOUS FISH 

1768
00:53:15,592 --> 00:53:17,894
ON THE ON THE COLUMBIA WITH 

1769
00:53:17,894 --> 00:53:18,695
MILLIONS OF FISH MIGRATING 

1770
00:53:18,695 --> 00:53:20,830
DOWNSTREAM, WE HAVE VERY FEW 

1771
00:53:20,830 --> 00:53:22,332
FISH. THE RIVER IS WARM AND 

1772
00:53:22,332 --> 00:53:24,334
TROUT DON'T LIKE WARM WATER, SO

1773
00:53:24,334 --> 00:53:25,735
WE HAVE VERY FEW FISH. AND WE 

1774
00:53:25,735 --> 00:53:27,103
WOULD HAVE A VERY, VERY SLIM 

1775
00:53:27,103 --> 00:53:29,339
CHANCE OF ACTUALLY CAPTURING 

1776
00:53:29,339 --> 00:53:31,074
THEM TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THEM 

1777
00:53:31,074 --> 00:53:33,476
AROUND THE DAM TO, TO THEN 

1778
00:53:33,476 --> 00:53:34,878
COMPLETE WHATEVER LIFE CYCLE 

1779
00:53:34,878 --> 00:53:37,380
THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO 

1780
00:53:37,380 --> 00:53:40,016
COMPLETE. SO THESE ARE VERY 

1781
00:53:40,016 --> 00:53:42,285
EXPENSIVE PROJECTS. THEY'RE 

1782
00:53:42,285 --> 00:53:45,288
VERY HARD TO MAINTAIN. THEY'RE 

1783
00:53:45,288 --> 00:53:46,690
JUST CHALLENGING IN GENERAL. SO 

1784
00:53:46,690 --> 00:53:48,625
OUR GOAL FOR A LONG TIME HAS 

1785
00:53:48,625 --> 00:53:50,927
BEEN TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS 

1786
00:53:50,927 --> 00:53:54,097
TO PROVE TO THEM THAT THIS 

1787
00:53:54,097 --> 00:53:55,498
MEASURE IN PARTICULAR, ISN'T 

1788
00:53:55,498 --> 00:53:56,900
GOING TO BE EFFECTIVE, EVEN IF 

1789
00:53:56,900 --> 00:53:58,568
WE BUILD IT, AND IT'S JUST GOING

1790
00:53:58,568 --> 00:53:59,936
TO COST A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY. 

1791
00:53:59,936 --> 00:54:04,174
UM, THEY WERE AWARE OF THAT. 

1792
00:54:04,174 --> 00:54:06,009
THEY'RE COGNIZANT OF THAT AND 

1793
00:54:06,009 --> 00:54:07,077
THEY WERE SYMPATHETIC TO US AND 

1794
00:54:07,077 --> 00:54:09,279
SAW THAT WE COULD PROVIDE A 

1795
00:54:09,279 --> 00:54:11,514
BETTER BENEFIT TO OTHER 

1796
00:54:11,514 --> 00:54:12,148
RESOURCES WITHIN THE WATERSHED 

1797
00:54:12,148 --> 00:54:13,650
IF WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT 

1798
00:54:13,650 --> 00:54:15,118
MEASURE, WE COULD USE THAT MONEY

1799
00:54:15,118 --> 00:54:17,320
IN A BETTER IN DIFFERENT WAY. 

1800
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,255
OKAY. SO REMOVAL OF THAT PROJECT

1801
00:54:19,255 --> 00:54:22,259
WILL SAVE US APPROXIMATELY $100 

1802
00:54:22,259 --> 00:54:26,630
MILLION, UM, PLUS OR MINUS, UM, 

1803
00:54:26,630 --> 00:54:31,334
OVER THE LIFE OF THE LICENSE IN 

1804
00:54:31,334 --> 00:54:31,901
ADDITION TO THAT PARTICULAR 

1805
00:54:31,901 --> 00:54:32,736
MEASURE, WE HAVE THREE OTHER 

1806
00:54:32,736 --> 00:54:34,170
MEASURES THAT WE'RE GOING TO 

1807
00:54:34,170 --> 00:54:37,774
REMOVE. UM, THERE WAS A CULVERT 

1808
00:54:37,774 --> 00:54:41,745
THAT THE FOREST SERVICE HAD 

1809
00:54:41,745 --> 00:54:43,046
ASKED TO BE PUT INTO THE LICENSE

1810
00:54:43,046 --> 00:54:43,647
FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY THOUGHT 

1811
00:54:43,647 --> 00:54:45,615
THAT IT WOULD PROVIDE A 

1812
00:54:45,615 --> 00:54:47,517
SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN FISH 

1813
00:54:47,517 --> 00:54:49,786
HABITAT. UM, IN ACTUALITY, IT'S

1814
00:54:49,786 --> 00:54:51,254
A VERY SHORT SECTION OF STREAM 

1815
00:54:51,254 --> 00:54:55,625
ABOVE THAT CULVERT. UM BEFORE IT

1816
00:54:55,625 --> 00:54:56,826
GOES TO THE DAM WHERE THERE'S NO

1817
00:54:56,826 --> 00:54:57,861
FISH PASSAGE. AND THAT'S FOR THE

1818
00:54:57,861 --> 00:55:01,264
CITY OF MEDELLIN FALLS WATER 

1819
00:55:01,264 --> 00:55:02,565
TREATMENT SYSTEM. UM, SO THAT 

1820
00:55:02,565 --> 00:55:03,633
WAS A DAM THAT WASN'T COMING 

1821
00:55:03,633 --> 00:55:05,635
OUT. SO FOREST SERVICE AGREED 

1822
00:55:05,635 --> 00:55:06,736
THAT WE COULD REMOVE THAT 

1823
00:55:06,736 --> 00:55:07,904
MEASURE FROM THE LICENSE AS 

1824
00:55:07,904 --> 00:55:09,739
WELL. THAT SAVES US ABOUT $10 

1825
00:55:09,739 --> 00:55:11,641
MILLION. UH, THERE'S A FEW 

1826
00:55:11,641 --> 00:55:14,944
LOGJAMS. UM, THEY'RE CALLED 

1827
00:55:14,944 --> 00:55:16,279
ENGINEERED LOGJAMS. BASICALLY, 

1828
00:55:16,279 --> 00:55:19,182
WE CREATE A LITTLE HABITAT 

1829
00:55:19,182 --> 00:55:22,385
FEATURE IN A CREEK FOR VARIOUS 

1830
00:55:22,385 --> 00:55:22,919
REASONS. CONSTRUCTABILITY 

1831
00:55:22,919 --> 00:55:23,920
LANDOWNER ISSUES. WE WEREN'T 

1832
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,455
ABLE TO REALLY BE ABLE TO 

1833
00:55:25,455 --> 00:55:27,424
IMPLEMENT THOSE. SO WE'RE TAKING

1834
00:55:27,424 --> 00:55:28,825
THOSE OUT AS WELL. AND ONE 

1835
00:55:28,825 --> 00:55:31,861
ADDITIONAL PROJECT, UM, IN THE 

1836
00:55:31,861 --> 00:55:34,364
MAIN STEM POND AREA THAT WAS 

1837
00:55:34,364 --> 00:55:36,333
TARGETING MOUNTAIN WHITE FISH 

1838
00:55:36,333 --> 00:55:37,867
SPAWNING HABITAT. AGAIN, WE HAD 

1839
00:55:37,867 --> 00:55:40,503
VERY HARD TIME. UM, WORKING WITH

1840
00:55:40,503 --> 00:55:43,273
THE PARTNERS TO, TO PROVE THAT 

1841
00:55:43,273 --> 00:55:46,009
OUR MEASURE WOULD BE EFFECTIVE. 

1842
00:55:46,009 --> 00:55:46,643
SO TOTAL COST SAVINGS OF ABOUT 

1843
00:55:46,643 --> 00:55:48,178
$12 MILLION TO REMOVE THOSE 

1844
00:55:48,178 --> 00:55:50,714
THREE LITTLE PROJECTS. IN 

1845
00:55:50,714 --> 00:55:52,015
COMPARISON. THE OTHER THING THAT

1846
00:55:52,015 --> 00:55:53,450
THIS REALLY DOES, AND THIS IS 

1847
00:55:53,450 --> 00:55:55,218
WHERE THE TRIBE AND ALL OF OUR 

1848
00:55:55,218 --> 00:55:56,820
PARTNERS ARE SUPER EXCITED, IT 

1849
00:55:56,820 --> 00:55:58,855
DOES ALLOW US TO USE THIS 

1850
00:55:58,855 --> 00:55:59,823
HATCHERY THAT WE BUILT AS PART 

1851
00:55:59,823 --> 00:56:02,959
OF THE LICENSE COMPLETED IN 2020

1852
00:56:02,959 --> 00:56:05,862
FOR, FOR REGIONAL BENEFIT, 

1853
00:56:05,862 --> 00:56:10,400
MEANING THAT WE WILL TAKE FISH 

1854
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:10,934
FROM THE WATERSHED WHILE 

1855
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:16,539
THERE'S UM. WHILE THERE'S 

1856
00:56:16,539 --> 00:56:17,107
NON-NATIVE FISH ERADICATION 

1857
00:56:17,107 --> 00:56:20,410
HAPPENING IN THESE CREEKS WILL 

1858
00:56:20,410 --> 00:56:23,113
PRESERVE THOSE FISH AND TAKE 

1859
00:56:23,113 --> 00:56:24,114
THEM BACK AFTER, UM, ERADICATION

1860
00:56:24,114 --> 00:56:25,181
HAS HAPPENED. AND WE CAN TALK 

1861
00:56:25,181 --> 00:56:28,651
ABOUT ERADICATION IF YOU WANT 

1862
00:56:28,651 --> 00:56:30,987
LATER. UM, ONE OF THE THINGS 

1863
00:56:30,987 --> 00:56:32,288
THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, WE

1864
00:56:32,288 --> 00:56:33,656
WILL BUILD A THIRD WILL LIKELY 

1865
00:56:33,656 --> 00:56:36,126
BUILD A THIRD BUILDING AT OUR 

1866
00:56:36,126 --> 00:56:38,394
FACILITY TO, UH, HANDLE 

1867
00:56:38,394 --> 00:56:40,530
POTENTIALLY DIFFERENT STOCKS OF 

1868
00:56:40,530 --> 00:56:42,599
FISH AND POTENTIALLY MORE FISH 

1869
00:56:42,599 --> 00:56:43,066
DEPENDING ON WHAT THE 

1870
00:56:43,066 --> 00:56:44,667
PROGRAMING, THE BIO BIOLOGICAL 

1871
00:56:44,667 --> 00:56:45,602
PROGRAMING LOOKS LIKE. 

1872
00:56:45,602 --> 00:56:48,638
ULTIMATELY FOR THAT, UM, SYSTEM.

1873
00:56:48,638 --> 00:56:50,974
SO ONE NEW BUILDING IN OUR BRAND

1874
00:56:50,974 --> 00:56:53,443
NEW FACILITY, UM, AND THEN THE 

1875
00:56:53,443 --> 00:56:54,611
TRIBES AND THE AGENCIES ALSO 

1876
00:56:54,611 --> 00:56:58,414
WANTED US TO CREATE A $4 MILLION

1877
00:56:58,414 --> 00:56:59,516
FUND TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO 

1878
00:56:59,516 --> 00:57:02,585
FUNDING TO HELP IMPROVE NATIVE 

1879
00:57:02,585 --> 00:57:05,021
FISH RESTORATION EFFORTS IN THE 

1880
00:57:05,021 --> 00:57:06,489
WATERSHEDS OUTSIDE OF OUR 

1881
00:57:06,489 --> 00:57:08,992
WATERSHED. SO THE TRIBE DOES A 

1882
00:57:08,992 --> 00:57:10,493
LOT OF WORK FOR US IN THE 

1883
00:57:10,493 --> 00:57:11,761
FISHERIES REALM, AND THEY WOULD 

1884
00:57:11,761 --> 00:57:14,931
HAVE ACCESS TO THESE FUNDS, AS 

1885
00:57:14,931 --> 00:57:17,734
WOULD WDFW UM, AS WE REMOVE 

1886
00:57:17,734 --> 00:57:19,068
NON-NATIVE FISH FROM THE 

1887
00:57:19,068 --> 00:57:22,972
WATERSHEDS AND, AND TRY TO, UM, 

1888
00:57:22,972 --> 00:57:23,540
REPOPULATE THE STREAMS WITH 

1889
00:57:23,540 --> 00:57:24,808
NATIVE FISH. 

1890
00:57:24,808 --> 00:57:26,042
-- THANK YOU LLOYD, THAT'S A 

1891
00:57:26,042 --> 00:57:26,810
LOT, BUT THANK YOU. 

1892
00:57:26,810 --> 00:57:29,012
-- IT IS. I'M SORRY. IT'S OKAY.

1893
00:57:29,012 --> 00:57:29,646
I KNOW YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT 

1894
00:57:29,646 --> 00:57:30,880
THIS. ALWAYS. 

1895
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:31,548
-- HAPPENS WITH WITH BIO PEOPLE.

1896
00:57:31,548 --> 00:57:33,383
I REMEMBER ALL MY TRIAL DAYS ARE

1897
00:57:33,383 --> 00:57:35,051
COMING BACK LIKE, OKAY, I GET 

1898
00:57:35,051 --> 00:57:37,187
IT. AND THANK YOU. SO ARE WE 

1899
00:57:37,187 --> 00:57:44,794
GOING TO THE NEXT SLIDE? 

1900
00:57:44,794 --> 00:57:46,963
-- UM, A LITTLE DUPLICATIVE. UM,

1901
00:57:46,963 --> 00:57:48,298
OKAY. 

1902
00:57:48,298 --> 00:57:49,532
-- WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS THE 

1903
00:57:49,532 --> 00:57:49,866
PONDERAY ONE? 

1904
00:57:49,866 --> 00:57:51,634
-- YES, MA'AM. THAT IS THAT'S 

1905
00:57:51,634 --> 00:57:53,436
BOUNDARY DAM. SO YOU CAN SEE AT 

1906
00:57:53,436 --> 00:57:54,737
THE VERY, VERY TOP IN THAT 

1907
00:57:54,737 --> 00:57:56,172
PICTURE, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT 

1908
00:57:56,172 --> 00:57:58,541
OF A TOWER. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE

1909
00:57:58,541 --> 00:57:59,642
SPILLWAYS IS JUST ADJACENT TO 

1910
00:57:59,642 --> 00:58:00,310
THAT. SO IF A FISH GOES OFF OF 

1911
00:58:00,310 --> 00:58:04,047
THAT, IT TAKES ABOUT A 200 FOOT 

1912
00:58:04,047 --> 00:58:05,615
FREE FALL. UM, THE BIG BOXES IN 

1913
00:58:05,615 --> 00:58:07,150
THE MIDDLE OF THAT PICTURE ARE 

1914
00:58:07,150 --> 00:58:10,086
SLUICE GATES. THOSE ARE ABOUT 

1915
00:58:10,086 --> 00:58:12,021
200FT UNDER WATER. THEY CAN OPEN

1916
00:58:12,021 --> 00:58:13,790
THAT, UH, FOR EMERGENCY DRAINING

1917
00:58:13,790 --> 00:58:15,658
OF THE RESERVOIR. AND THEN OUT 

1918
00:58:15,658 --> 00:58:16,693
OF SCREEN HERE, JUST TO THE 

1919
00:58:16,693 --> 00:58:18,661
RIGHT IS WHERE THE ACTUAL 

1920
00:58:18,661 --> 00:58:22,065
TURBINES ARE. UM, SO ONE OF THE 

1921
00:58:22,065 --> 00:58:23,233
BIGGEST THINGS THAT THIS DOES, 

1922
00:58:23,233 --> 00:58:24,534
OBVIOUSLY, IT SAVES US $100 

1923
00:58:24,534 --> 00:58:26,436
MILLION. IT ALSO ADVANCES OUR 

1924
00:58:26,436 --> 00:58:27,537
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE KALISPELL. 

1925
00:58:27,537 --> 00:58:28,705
WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY, VERY 

1926
00:58:28,705 --> 00:58:31,541
HARD SINCE 2013, SINCE BEFORE 

1927
00:58:31,541 --> 00:58:33,810
2013. UM, AS SOON AS WE AS SOON 

1928
00:58:33,810 --> 00:58:35,245
AS WE PUT THE LICENSE INTO FERC 

1929
00:58:35,245 --> 00:58:37,447
FOR APPROVAL, WE'VE BEEN WORKING

1930
00:58:37,447 --> 00:58:38,615
WITH THE KALISPELL TRIBE ON OUR 

1931
00:58:38,615 --> 00:58:40,683
FISHERIES PROGRAMS. THEY 

1932
00:58:40,683 --> 00:58:42,385
IMPLEMENT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF

1933
00:58:42,385 --> 00:58:43,019
OUR FISHERIES PROGRAMS FOR US. 

1934
00:58:43,019 --> 00:58:46,456
AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH US. SO 

1935
00:58:46,456 --> 00:58:48,224
EVERYTHING THAT WE DO, UM, WE 

1936
00:58:48,224 --> 00:58:51,427
WORK WITH THE TRIBE. IT'S THEIR,

1937
00:58:51,427 --> 00:58:52,562
IT'S THEIR RESOURCE AS WELL. SO

1938
00:58:52,562 --> 00:58:53,196
IT'S REALLY, IT'S REALLY 

1939
00:58:53,196 --> 00:58:56,566
IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO 

1940
00:58:56,566 --> 00:58:57,100
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THAT 

1941
00:58:57,100 --> 00:58:58,501
RELATIONSHIP AND MAINTAIN THAT 

1942
00:58:58,501 --> 00:59:00,603
RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. AND IT 

1943
00:59:00,603 --> 00:59:04,107
ALSO, UM, CAN, ALLOWS US THE 

1944
00:59:04,107 --> 00:59:05,642
CONTINUED OPERATION, EFFICIENT 

1945
00:59:05,642 --> 00:59:07,310
OPERATION OF BOUNDARY, UM, TO 

1946
00:59:07,310 --> 00:59:09,112
THE BENEFIT OF SEATTLE CITY 

1947
00:59:09,112 --> 00:59:12,015
LIGHT 

1948
00:59:12,015 --> 00:59:12,749
-- ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME WHAT

1949
00:59:12,749 --> 00:59:14,951
KIND OF FISH THIS IS? 

1950
00:59:14,951 --> 00:59:15,952
-- THAT IS MY FAVORITE FISH. 

1951
00:59:15,952 --> 00:59:17,654
THAT IS A WEST SLOPE CUTTHROAT 

1952
00:59:17,654 --> 00:59:18,054
TROUT CUTTHROAT. 

1953
00:59:18,054 --> 00:59:19,956
-- I KNEW IT WAS A CUTTHROAT. 

1954
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:23,359
-- YEAH. SO IT'S BEAUTIFUL. UM,

1955
00:59:23,359 --> 00:59:25,662
VERY UNIQUE POPULATIONS. 70% OF 

1956
00:59:25,662 --> 00:59:28,331
THE OF THE HABITAT VALUE OF WEST

1957
00:59:28,331 --> 00:59:30,767
SLOPE CUTTHROAT TROUT, WHICH 

1958
00:59:30,767 --> 00:59:32,502
KIND OF COVERED MONTANA, 

1959
00:59:32,502 --> 00:59:34,737
NORTHERN IDAHO, WASHINGTON, UM, 

1960
00:59:34,737 --> 00:59:36,539
HAS BEEN LOST. SO THIS FISH IS 

1961
00:59:36,539 --> 00:59:38,074
IMPERILED. UM, AND EVERYTHING 

1962
00:59:38,074 --> 00:59:41,044
THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP PRESERVE 

1963
00:59:41,044 --> 00:59:41,611
THESE POPULATIONS IS SUPER 

1964
00:59:41,611 --> 00:59:44,914
IMPORTANT. UM. 

1965
00:59:44,914 --> 00:59:46,649
-- SO YOU'RE ON THE 

1966
00:59:46,649 --> 00:59:46,983
STAKEHOLDERS. 

1967
00:59:46,983 --> 00:59:48,551
-- THOSE ARE OUR STAKEHOLDERS. 

1968
00:59:48,551 --> 00:59:50,219
THEY'VE ALL BEEN PART OF THIS. 

1969
00:59:50,219 --> 00:59:52,422
WE'VE BEEN FOR TWO, THE 2:02 

1970
00:59:52,422 --> 00:59:54,157
PAST YEARS. WE'VE HAD EVERY 

1971
00:59:54,157 --> 00:59:55,592
OTHER WEDNESDAY, WE HAVE AN HOUR

1972
00:59:55,592 --> 00:59:57,193
LONG MEETING WITH THESE FOLKS, 

1973
00:59:57,193 --> 00:59:58,728
HAMMERING OUT THIS AGREEMENT. 

1974
00:59:58,728 --> 01:00:02,332
SO, UM, EVERYONE IS TRULY ON 

1975
01:00:02,332 --> 01:00:02,565
BOARD. 

1976
01:00:02,565 --> 01:00:03,833
-- TRUE CONSULTATION. 

1977
01:00:03,833 --> 01:00:04,133
-- INDEED. 

1978
01:00:04,133 --> 01:00:05,902
-- LOVE IT. OTHERWISE YOU GET 

1979
01:00:05,902 --> 01:00:06,803
SUED. BUT GREAT. 

1980
01:00:06,803 --> 01:00:09,839
-- YEAH, WE'RE NOT. 

1981
01:00:09,839 --> 01:00:10,506
-- GONNA COME ON NOW. YOU KNOW, 

1982
01:00:10,506 --> 01:00:11,174
THAT'S WHAT THIS, YOU KNOW, I 

1983
01:00:11,174 --> 01:00:11,441
CAN SAY. 

1984
01:00:11,441 --> 01:00:12,608
-- THAT I'M NOT A LAWYER. I 

1985
01:00:12,608 --> 01:00:12,875
CAN'T. 

1986
01:00:12,875 --> 01:00:14,744
-- SAY THAT 

1987
01:00:14,744 --> 01:00:16,346
-- ALL RIGHT? YEAH. ALL RIGHT. 

1988
01:00:16,346 --> 01:00:18,147
SO THE PURPOSE OF THE ORDINANCE,

1989
01:00:18,147 --> 01:00:22,719
UM, IT JUST ALLOWS ROB. SANTOS, 

1990
01:00:22,719 --> 01:00:23,820
OUR CEO, TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT.

1991
01:00:23,820 --> 01:00:24,988
WE WILL BE THE LAST ONES TO SIGN

1992
01:00:24,988 --> 01:00:26,389
IT. ALL OF OUR PARTNERS WILL 

1993
01:00:26,389 --> 01:00:29,592
SIGN IT FIRST. UM, IT WOULD 

1994
01:00:29,592 --> 01:00:32,061
ALLOW ROB TO SIGN IT. AND AT 

1995
01:00:32,061 --> 01:00:33,796
THAT POINT IT WILL, UM, THEN GO 

1996
01:00:33,796 --> 01:00:35,665
TO FERC, WHICH WILL TAKE 12 TO 

1997
01:00:35,665 --> 01:00:37,433
18 MONTHS BEFORE THEY'LL ISSUE 

1998
01:00:37,433 --> 01:00:39,602
THE NEW LICENSE AND ALLOW THIS 

1999
01:00:39,602 --> 01:00:43,706
TO, TO GO INTO ACTION. UM, IT 

2000
01:00:43,706 --> 01:00:44,307
TRULY SUPPORTS THE KALISPELL 

2001
01:00:44,307 --> 01:00:46,809
TRIBES RESTORATION EFFORTS FOR 

2002
01:00:46,809 --> 01:00:48,811
NOT ONLY WESTSLOPE CUTTHROAT 

2003
01:00:48,811 --> 01:00:50,113
TROUT, THAT IS A BULL TROUT THAT

2004
01:00:50,113 --> 01:00:52,982
IS AN ENDANGERED FISH. UM, AND 

2005
01:00:52,982 --> 01:00:54,884
THAT IS A FISH OF CULTURAL 

2006
01:00:54,884 --> 01:00:56,386
SIGNIFICANCE TO THE TRIBE FOR 

2007
01:00:56,386 --> 01:01:00,323
SURE. SO THIS NEW FACILITY AND 

2008
01:01:00,323 --> 01:01:04,160
THIS NEW INITIATIVE WILL ALLOW 

2009
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:05,328
US TO BROADEN THE RESTORATION 

2010
01:01:05,328 --> 01:01:09,565
EFFORTS FOR BULL TROUT AS WELL 

2011
01:01:09,565 --> 01:01:11,467
-- SO I I'M YOU'RE ON MOVING 

2012
01:01:11,467 --> 01:01:13,302
ON TO PAGE SEVEN. 

2013
01:01:13,302 --> 01:01:14,003
-- YES, MA'AM. 

2014
01:01:14,003 --> 01:01:16,506
-- SO THAT PICTURE IS THAT IS 

2015
01:01:16,506 --> 01:01:17,140
THAT A KALISPELL TRIBAL PICTURE?

2016
01:01:17,140 --> 01:01:18,641
-- YES, MA'AM. SO FROM THE 

2017
01:01:18,641 --> 01:01:20,777
EARLY 1900s, THAT IS A STURGEON 

2018
01:01:20,777 --> 01:01:22,679
CANOE. UM, IS WHAT THEY CALL 

2019
01:01:22,679 --> 01:01:25,281
THAT. AND THE, THE FRONT AND 

2020
01:01:25,281 --> 01:01:27,283
BACK, UM, APPARENTLY LOOK LIKE 

2021
01:01:27,283 --> 01:01:30,186
THE BACK OF A STURGEON. SO, UM 

2022
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:32,321
THAT WAS THEM FISHING AND 

2023
01:01:32,321 --> 01:01:35,024
STURGEON IS ANOTHER SPECIES 

2024
01:01:35,024 --> 01:01:36,526
POTENTIALLY THAT UM THAT USED TO

2025
01:01:36,526 --> 01:01:38,027
EXIST IN THE RIVER DOESN'T 

2026
01:01:38,027 --> 01:01:39,529
EXIST ANYMORE, BUT WE'RE 

2027
01:01:39,529 --> 01:01:40,730
CONSIDERING IT. SO. OKAY. UM 

2028
01:01:40,730 --> 01:01:42,865
BULL TROUT WESTSLOPE CUTTHROAT 

2029
01:01:42,865 --> 01:01:43,232
TROUT PICTURE. 

2030
01:01:43,232 --> 01:01:45,368
-- SEND ME A PICTURE OF ONE. 

2031
01:01:45,368 --> 01:01:47,403
-- A STURGEON. YEAH. THEY'RE 

2032
01:01:47,403 --> 01:01:56,012
AMAZING. UM, SO YEAH, SO, UM. 

2033
01:01:56,012 --> 01:01:56,646
CONSEQUENCE OF DELAY CERTAINLY 

2034
01:01:56,646 --> 01:01:58,081
WOULD STRAIN OUR RELATIONSHIP 

2035
01:01:58,081 --> 01:01:58,981
WITH THE TRIBE. THEY HAVE BEEN 

2036
01:01:58,981 --> 01:01:59,615
PUSHING VERY, VERY HARD FOR US 

2037
01:01:59,615 --> 01:02:02,852
TO GET THIS DONE. UM, THEY'RE 

2038
01:02:02,852 --> 01:02:05,722
THERE WITH US EVERY TIME. UH, I 

2039
01:02:05,722 --> 01:02:07,123
HAVE HEARD REPEATEDLY HOW 

2040
01:02:07,123 --> 01:02:08,157
QUICKLY WE WERE ABLE TO 

2041
01:02:08,157 --> 01:02:10,126
NEGOTIATE THE ENTIRE LICENSE FOR

2042
01:02:10,126 --> 01:02:10,927
BOUNDARY AND HOW LONG THIS ONE 

2043
01:02:10,927 --> 01:02:12,829
HAS TAKEN JUST TO DO AN 

2044
01:02:12,829 --> 01:02:14,163
AMENDMENT. SO, UM, THE 

2045
01:02:14,163 --> 01:02:17,133
FRUSTRATION LEVEL IS THERE, BUT 

2046
01:02:17,133 --> 01:02:17,767
UNDERSTANDABLY, WE'RE REALLY 

2047
01:02:17,767 --> 01:02:19,368
TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING, UM, 

2048
01:02:19,368 --> 01:02:21,170
NAILED DOWN COMPLETELY STRAIGHT 

2049
01:02:21,170 --> 01:02:22,138
SO THAT WHEN WE TAKE IT TO FERC,

2050
01:02:22,138 --> 01:02:23,539
IT COMES BACK QUICKLY AND 

2051
01:02:23,539 --> 01:02:28,444
WITHOUT ISSUE. SO, UM, AND IT 

2052
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:29,078
INCREASES FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES 

2053
01:02:29,078 --> 01:02:30,313
FOR TRIBAL HARVEST ACROSS THE 

2054
01:02:30,313 --> 01:02:32,648
REGION. IT DOES NOT REDUCE 

2055
01:02:32,648 --> 01:02:35,218
OPPORTUNITIES. UM, IT INCREASES.

2056
01:02:35,218 --> 01:02:36,152
-- SO THE PONDERAY DAM WAS ONE 

2057
01:02:36,152 --> 01:02:37,920
OF THE DAMS THAT WERE UP FOR 

2058
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:38,755
RELICENSING IN THE 90s. THEIR 

2059
01:02:38,755 --> 01:02:42,191
LICENSE EXPIRED IN THE 90s, 

2060
01:02:42,191 --> 01:02:42,425
RIGHT? 

2061
01:02:42,425 --> 01:02:44,827
-- SO IN 1965, WE GOT THE FIRST 

2062
01:02:44,827 --> 01:02:45,595
LICENSE. IT WAS FOR 50 YEARS, SO

2063
01:02:45,595 --> 01:02:49,065
IT ACTUALLY EXPIRED IN 2000 AND 

2064
01:02:49,065 --> 01:02:49,265
505. 

2065
01:02:49,265 --> 01:02:49,532
-- OKAY. 

2066
01:02:49,532 --> 01:02:52,568
-- UM, AND WE HAD ANNUAL 

2067
01:02:52,568 --> 01:02:53,503
LICENSES UP TO THAT POINT. AND 

2068
01:02:53,503 --> 01:02:57,740
THEN IN 2010, WE FILED OUR, UM, 

2069
01:02:57,740 --> 01:02:59,008
FILED FOR A NEW LICENSE AND 

2070
01:02:59,008 --> 01:03:00,409
RECEIVED THAT LICENSE IN 2013. 

2071
01:03:00,409 --> 01:03:02,411
-- SEE, THAT'S WHY I WAS GETTING

2072
01:03:02,411 --> 01:03:04,013
CONFUSED. THE LITIGATION I WAS 

2073
01:03:04,013 --> 01:03:04,580
TALKING ABOUT WAS WHEN THE 

2074
01:03:04,580 --> 01:03:06,249
KALISPELL TRIBE SUED PONDERAY 

2075
01:03:06,249 --> 01:03:07,550
FOR FLOODING THEIR TRIBAL LANDS.

2076
01:03:07,550 --> 01:03:09,886
YES, THAT WAS IN THE LATE 90s. 

2077
01:03:09,886 --> 01:03:11,587
DENNIS, YOU PROBABLY REMEMBERS 

2078
01:03:11,587 --> 01:03:11,854
THAT ONE. 

2079
01:03:11,854 --> 01:03:13,589
-- NOT US. 

2080
01:03:13,589 --> 01:03:14,457
-- IT WAS ME. I SUED YOU, OKAY? 

2081
01:03:14,457 --> 01:03:16,893
YEAH. AND ONE. 

2082
01:03:16,893 --> 01:03:18,961
-- IT WASN'T OUR DAM, OKAY? IT 

2083
01:03:18,961 --> 01:03:21,898
WASN'T OUR DAM THAT CAUSED THAT

2084
01:03:21,898 --> 01:03:22,265
FLOODING. YEAH. 

2085
01:03:22,265 --> 01:03:25,334
-- GREAT. OKAY, SO, LLOYD, THANK

2086
01:03:25,334 --> 01:03:28,304
YOU VERY MUCH. I LEARNED A LOT. 

2087
01:03:28,304 --> 01:03:31,007
AND THE PICTURES, THE FISH, UM, 

2088
01:03:31,007 --> 01:03:32,108
IS THERE ANY IS THERE ANYTHING 

2089
01:03:32,108 --> 01:03:34,043
ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD? 

2090
01:03:34,043 --> 01:03:34,544
-- I DON'T THINK SO. 

2091
01:03:34,544 --> 01:03:35,378
-- ARE YOU SURE? 

2092
01:03:35,378 --> 01:03:36,245
-- YES, MA'AM. 

2093
01:03:36,245 --> 01:03:37,747
-- OKAY, UM, LET ME ASK MY 

2094
01:03:37,747 --> 01:03:39,549
COLLEAGUES. I'M LOOKING AT 

2095
01:03:39,549 --> 01:03:41,450
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS. HE'S 

2096
01:03:41,450 --> 01:03:42,051
PROBABLY FASCINATED WITH THE 

2097
01:03:42,051 --> 01:03:43,452
CANOE. YES, I KNEW IT. GO AHEAD.

2098
01:03:43,452 --> 01:03:44,887
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS. 

2099
01:03:44,887 --> 01:03:47,089
-- I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE 

2100
01:03:47,089 --> 01:03:47,924
AGAIN THE TIME THAT WE GOT TO 

2101
01:03:47,924 --> 01:03:51,260
SPEND IN MY OFFICE AHEAD OF THIS

2102
01:03:51,260 --> 01:03:51,894
MEETING. AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT 

2103
01:03:51,894 --> 01:03:53,996
EMERITUS JUAREZ, I TOO HAD TO 

2104
01:03:53,996 --> 01:03:56,399
ASK WHAT ENTRAINMENT MEANT. SO I

2105
01:03:56,399 --> 01:03:56,899
REALLY APPRECIATED THAT 

2106
01:03:56,899 --> 01:03:58,434
CLARIFICATION THIS TIME THROUGH,

2107
01:03:58,434 --> 01:04:02,338
UM, YEAH, THIS IS A GOOD, GOOD 

2108
01:04:02,338 --> 01:04:04,173
DEAL. I'M EXCITED FOR THIS 

2109
01:04:04,173 --> 01:04:06,142
AMENDMENT AND I'M EXCITED THAT 

2110
01:04:06,142 --> 01:04:07,777
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE 

2111
01:04:07,777 --> 01:04:09,679
WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS TO 

2112
01:04:09,679 --> 01:04:12,014
UNDERSTAND WHAT OF THE ORIGINAL 

2113
01:04:12,014 --> 01:04:13,316
AGREEMENTS DO AND DO NOT WORK, 

2114
01:04:13,316 --> 01:04:15,184
AND THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THEM 

2115
01:04:15,184 --> 01:04:17,353
THROUGH THIS AMENDMENT SO THAT 

2116
01:04:17,353 --> 01:04:19,422
WE CAN KEEP MEETING OUR 

2117
01:04:19,422 --> 01:04:21,424
COMMITMENT AREAS WHILE ALSO NOT 

2118
01:04:21,424 --> 01:04:23,593
SPENDING MONEY OR ENGAGING IN 

2119
01:04:23,593 --> 01:04:24,093
ACTIVITIES THAT ARE NOT 

2120
01:04:24,093 --> 01:04:25,261
ULTIMATELY FRUITFUL. SO JUST 

2121
01:04:25,261 --> 01:04:26,596
GREAT APPRECIATION TO EVERYONE. 

2122
01:04:26,596 --> 01:04:28,130
THANK YOU. 

2123
01:04:28,130 --> 01:04:29,298
-- AND I WANT TO ADD ON THIS 

2124
01:04:29,298 --> 01:04:33,069
NOTE, UM, THIS IS SUCH A GOOD 

2125
01:04:33,069 --> 01:04:35,504
EXAMPLE WITH SEATTLE CITY LIGHT.

2126
01:04:35,504 --> 01:04:37,039
UM, PRACTICING TRUE TRIBAL 

2127
01:04:37,039 --> 01:04:38,040
CONSULTATION. SO THANK YOU FOR 

2128
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:39,308
THAT BECAUSE WE COULDN'T HAVE 

2129
01:04:39,308 --> 01:04:40,676
SAID THIS 30 YEARS AGO, EVEN 20 

2130
01:04:40,676 --> 01:04:43,145
YEARS AGO, UNTIL FEDERAL COURT 

2131
01:04:43,145 --> 01:04:45,281
SAID THAT. SO, UM, IF THERE'S 

2132
01:04:45,281 --> 01:04:46,349
ANY LAW STUDENTS WATCHING, UM, 

2133
01:04:46,349 --> 01:04:48,584
THIS IS, THIS IS HOW YOU DO 

2134
01:04:48,584 --> 01:04:49,685
TRIBAL CONSULTATION. AND I THINK

2135
01:04:49,685 --> 01:04:51,420
YOU SAW IT IN THE LAST 

2136
01:04:51,420 --> 01:04:51,988
PRESENTATION IN COMMUNITY, 

2137
01:04:51,988 --> 01:04:52,889
ASKING PEOPLE WHAT THEY NEED, 

2138
01:04:52,889 --> 01:04:54,390
BUT ALSO RECOGNIZING WHEN WE 

2139
01:04:54,390 --> 01:04:57,159
COME BACK TO YOUR ISSUE ON 

2140
01:04:57,159 --> 01:04:57,793

IS AN IMPORTANT PARK NOT JUST 

2391
01:14:34,837 --> 01:14:39,608

WOULD WAIT TILL THE END, BUT 

2399
01:14:50,986 --> 01:14:52,521
JUST BECAUSE AND I LOVE HOW

YOU'RE FLIPPING THROUGH THIS 

2401
01:14:53,155 --> 01:14:54,590
BECAUSE WE WENT THROUGH THIS, 

2402
01:14:54,590 --> 01:14:56,191
UM, IN THE FUTURE, WHICH I, WHEN

2403
01:14:56,191 --> 01:15:00,062
WE GET TO PAGE 13, I WENT AND 

2404
01:15:00,062 --> 01:15:01,396
MARKED UP LIKE JUDKINS MILLER 

2405
01:15:01,396 --> 01:15:02,564

2406
01:15:02,564 --> 01:15:03,165
THAT THEY WERE IN BECAUSE YOU 

2407
01:15:03,165 --> 01:15:04,266
KNOW, HOW YOU DID THAT GREAT 

2408
01:15:04,266 --> 01:15:07,436
MAP. SO JUDKINS IS IN D-3, 

2409
01:15:07,436 --> 01:15:08,136
MILLER'S IN D-3, JOSE RIZAL IS 

2410

IN D-2, BUT WHEN WE GET TO PAGE 

2411
01:15:10,372 --> 01:15:12,140
13, I KIND OF DID A COLUMN. SO 

2412
01:15:12,140 --> 01:15:12,875
IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU COULD DO 

2413
01:15:12,875 --> 01:15:13,742
THAT, BECAUSE THE REASON WHY I 

2414
01:15:13,742 --> 01:15:14,743
LIKE THAT OTHER MAP YOU HAVE IS 

2415
01:15:14,743 --> 01:15:16,211

2417
01:15:18,747 --> 01:15:20,415

MONEY AND THEN MAKING SURE THAT 

2419
01:15:24,653 --> 01:15:26,355
WE HAD THIS DISTRICT PARITY, BUT

2420
01:15:26,355 --> 01:15:26,955
ALSO NOT IGNORING PARTICULAR

01:15:28,557 --> 01:15:30,125
DEMONSTRATIVE, IT'S JUST A 

2423
01:15:30,125 --> 01:15:31,326

SAKA WANTS TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING

01:20:53,481 --> 01:20:58,286
ON WITH HIS HIS SOCCER FIELDS 

2571
01:20:58,286 --> 01:20:59,387
PICKLEBALL PARKS WANT TO MAKE 

2572
01:20:59,387 --> 01:21:00,855
SURE. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP

2573
01:21:00,855 --> 01:21:01,723
D ONE'S GETTING A LOT OF LOVE. 

2574
01:21:01,723 --> 01:21:05,994
I'M JUST SAYING. YEAH. GO 

2575
01:21:05,994 --> 01:21:06,828
AHEAD. 

2576
01:21:06,828 --> 01:21:07,429
-- ALTHOUGH CHAIR, I MEAN, I 

2577
01:21:07,429 --> 01:21:10,665
WILL SAY, UM, THERE ARE A LOT OF

2578
01:21:10,665 --> 01:21:12,734
PARKS ACROSS THE CITY. I KNOW, 

2579
01:21:12,734 --> 01:21:16,705
AND I KNOW WE NEED TO, UM, DO 

2580
01:21:16,705 --> 01:21:18,807
WORK ON MAINTAIN AND UPGRADE A 

2581
01:21:18,807 --> 01:21:21,676
LOT OF ALL THE PARKS. I MEAN, 

2582
01:21:21,676 --> 01:21:22,577
ALL THE PARKS AT SOME POINT, 

2583
01:21:22,577 --> 01:21:24,512
RIGHT? BUT YOU KNOW, THIS 

2584
01:21:24,512 --> 01:21:26,314
ARBORETUM IS IN D THREE, BUT 

2585
01:21:26,314 --> 01:21:27,449
IT'S HEAVILY UTILIZED. I KNOW 

2586
01:21:27,449 --> 01:21:29,117
BY D FOUR AND FIVE. SO I JUST 

2587
01:21:29,117 --> 01:21:32,854
WANT TO ALSO CALL THAT OUT 

2588
01:21:32,854 --> 01:21:34,356
BECAUSE YOU KNOW PARK MIGHT BE 

2589
01:21:34,356 --> 01:21:35,624
LOCATED IN ONE DISTRICT, BUT 

2590
01:21:35,624 --> 01:21:36,224
DEPENDING UPON WHERE IT IS, 

2591
01:21:36,224 --> 01:21:38,827
IT'S ALSO HEAVILY UTILIZED. BUT

2592
01:21:38,827 --> 01:21:40,362
THE SURROUNDING DISTRICTS. SO I 

2593
01:21:40,362 --> 01:21:42,063
WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AS 

2594
01:21:42,063 --> 01:21:42,264
WELL. 

2595
01:21:42,264 --> 01:21:42,831
-- YEAH, PARKS ARE FOR 

2596
01:21:42,831 --> 01:21:43,999
EVERYBODY. BUT I THINK THE 

2597
01:21:43,999 --> 01:21:45,867
REASON WHY I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT

2598
01:21:45,867 --> 01:21:47,402
THE PARKS IS THAT, UM, WHEN WE 

2599
01:21:47,402 --> 01:21:49,271
HAVE CONSTITUENTS WHO ARE LIKE 

2600
01:21:49,271 --> 01:21:50,372
JUST LASER FOCUSED ON THEIR, 

2601
01:21:50,372 --> 01:21:51,606
LIKE, YOU HEARD IT PUBLIC 

2602
01:21:51,606 --> 01:21:52,741
COMMENT, YOU HEARD SOME PEOPLE 

2603
01:21:52,741 --> 01:21:53,908
LIKE THE GREEN LIGHT CENTER AND 

2604
01:21:53,908 --> 01:21:55,810
WHAT THEY WANT THEIR NEW POOL. 

2605
01:21:55,810 --> 01:21:57,779
SO GETTING BACK TO JOSE RIZAL 

2606
01:21:57,779 --> 01:21:59,147
PARK, THE ONLY THING I WANT TO 

2607
01:21:59,147 --> 01:22:00,715
ASK ANDY IS, AND THIS MAY BE 

2608
01:22:00,715 --> 01:22:02,017
TRUE OF SOME OF THE OTHER PARKS 

2609
01:22:02,017 --> 01:22:03,618
AS WELL, I KNOW THAT PARKS HAS 

2610
01:22:03,618 --> 01:22:05,921
SPENT A LOT OF TIME HAVING TO 

2611
01:22:05,921 --> 01:22:07,789
DO, UH, ENCAMPMENT REMOVAL. 

2612
01:22:07,789 --> 01:22:10,325
WE'VE HAD TO SPEND MONEY ON, ON

2613
01:22:10,325 --> 01:22:13,228
CLEANUP AND SAFETY AND ALSO GO 

2614
01:22:13,228 --> 01:22:13,862
BACK AND REPAIR PLAYGROUNDS THAT

2615
01:22:13,862 --> 01:22:15,163
WERE DAMAGED. IS THERE ANYTHING 

2616
01:22:15,163 --> 01:22:16,765
YOU WANT TO SHARE ABOUT THAT, 

2617
01:22:16,765 --> 01:22:17,832
THAT, OR IS THIS MONEY 

2618
01:22:17,832 --> 01:22:18,934
SPECIFICALLY GOING TO, AS YOU 

2619
01:22:18,934 --> 01:22:20,302
SAY, JUST MAKING THE PARK 

2620
01:22:20,302 --> 01:22:23,705
BETTER? OR IS IT ALSO GOING TO, 

2621
01:22:23,705 --> 01:22:25,340
UM, REBUILDING AND FIXING PARKS 

2622
01:22:25,340 --> 01:22:25,874
THAT HAVE BEEN DESTROYED? 

2623
01:22:25,874 --> 01:22:28,843
-- IT'S GOING TO INCREASE THE 

2624
01:22:28,843 --> 01:22:31,613
ACCESSIBILITY OF THE PLAY AREA 

2625
01:22:31,613 --> 01:22:35,216
AND USABILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY 

2626
01:22:35,216 --> 01:22:38,253
OF THE PARK. UM, SO WE'RE, I 

2627
01:22:38,253 --> 01:22:40,588
THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING 

2628
01:22:40,588 --> 01:22:42,824
IS TO CREATE A SAFE SPACE IN 

2629
01:22:42,824 --> 01:22:45,694
ORDER FOR THE RESIDENTS ACROSS 

2630
01:22:45,694 --> 01:22:47,896
THE STREET TO ENJOY THAT PLAY 

2631
01:22:47,896 --> 01:22:52,734
AREA. CURRENTLY, UM, SPD HAS SET

2632
01:22:52,734 --> 01:22:54,836
UP A SERIES OF COMMUNITY WALKS 

2633
01:22:54,836 --> 01:22:56,571
THAT WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN 

2634
01:22:56,571 --> 01:23:01,376
THROUGH LEWIS PARK AND DR. JOSE 

2635
01:23:01,376 --> 01:23:04,446
RIZAL PARK. AND WE ARE LOOKING 

2636
01:23:04,446 --> 01:23:06,815
FOR DEVELOPING A STRONGER 

2637
01:23:06,815 --> 01:23:09,351
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AND 

2638
01:23:09,351 --> 01:23:11,686
ACTIVATION IDEAS THROUGH THE 

2639
01:23:11,686 --> 01:23:13,355
THROUGH THOSE PARKS. 

2640
01:23:13,355 --> 01:23:15,657
-- ANDY, CAN YOU SPEAK QUICKLY 

2641
01:23:15,657 --> 01:23:17,993
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 

2642
01:23:17,993 --> 01:23:18,660

01:23:25,233 --> 01:23:29,771
EXCITING. WE, UM, STARTED A NEW 

2650
01:23:29,771 --> 01:23:31,740

2651
01:23:31,740 --> 01:23:34,275
CLOSELY WITH SEATTLE DESIGN

IDEAS INTO DESIGN. UM, IT'S BEEN

2659
01:23:56,831 --> 01:24:01,669
A VERY LENGTHY PROCESS, BUT, UM,

2660
01:24:01,669 --> 01:24:04,139
HAS REAPED A LOT OF REWARDS 

2661
01:24:04,139 --> 01:24:09,878

-- OH, OKAY. SO YOU DESIGNED THE

2665
01:24:14,048 --> 01:24:15,984
PARK. 

2666
01:24:15,984 --> 01:24:16,618
-- THERE WAS A SPECIFIC, THERE 

2667
01:24:16,618 --> 01:24:19,754
WAS, IT WAS A DESIGN COMPETITION

2668
01:24:19,754 --> 01:24:22,590
IN THE COMMUNITY. ONE ENTITY WAS

2669
01:24:22,590 --> 01:24:24,492
SELECTED AND THEY WERE PAIRED UP

2670
01:24:24,492 --> 01:24:29,330
WITH A DESIGN FIRM TO TRANSLATE 

2671
01:24:29,330 --> 01:24:30,765

2672
01:24:30,765 --> 01:24:32,233
-- OH THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. 

2673
01:24:32,233 --> 01:24:33,868
UM, WITH THAT, I SEE THAT

2901
01:31:47,802 --> 01:31:48,836

2903
01:31:51,806 --> 01:31:53,841

A UNIVERSAL APPLICATION FOR ALL

2962
01:33:23,364 --> 01:33:24,298
