AMBITIOUS AS ALWAYS. FIRST AND 

24
00:01:20,346 --> 00:01:21,514
FOREMOST, IN ADDITION TO THE 

25
00:01:21,514 --> 00:01:23,016
FACT THAT WE DO HAVE A LOT TO 

26
00:01:23,016 --> 00:01:25,318
TALK ABOUT TODAY, I WANT TO 

27
00:01:25,318 --> 00:01:27,787
BEGIN BY ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT IS 

28
00:01:27,787 --> 00:01:30,390
GOING ON ACROSS THE STREET. KING

29
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:33,526
COUNTY COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING A 

30
00:01:33,526 --> 00:01:34,961

31
00:01:34,961 --> 00:01:35,462

TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT. 

33
00:01:40,433 --> 00:01:41,100
THERE'S A PENDING AMENDMENT ON 

34
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:43,903
THE TABLE RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD 

35
00:01:43,903 --> 00:01:44,604
LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE 

36
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:47,707
SEATTLE RECEIVES FROM THE TAX TO

37
00:01:47,707 --> 00:01:49,209
15%. WHICH ESTIMATES REFLECT 

38
00:01:49,209 --> 00:01:53,179
WOULD BE LESS THAN HALF THE 

39
00:01:53,179 --> 00:01:55,648
AMOUNT OF MONEY SEATTLE 

40
00:01:55,648 --> 00:01:56,316
TAXPAYERS WOULD CONTRIBUTE. NOW 

41
00:01:56,316 --> 00:02:01,855
SEATTLE IS DEFINITELY WILLING TO

42
00:02:01,855 --> 00:02:03,256
PAY OUR FAIR SHARE. BUT 

43
00:02:03,256 --> 00:02:05,325

POTENTIAL REVENUE THAT WE

TO ADDRESS THE RENOVATION AND 

70
00:03:04,284 --> 00:03:04,918
MODERNIZATION NEEDS AT SEATTLE 

71
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:10,990
CENTER. EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE 

72

73
00:03:14,394 --> 00:03:16,563
ARTICLE ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE 

74

HEADLINE READ "SEATTLE IS

FIX IT? "WELL, FOLKS, THE ANSWER

78
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:26,806
TO THAT QUESTION TODAY IS AN 

79
00:03:26,806 --> 00:03:31,911
EMPHATIC YES. AT LEAST IN PART. 

80
00:03:31,911 --> 00:03:35,014

RESPONSIBILITY TO INVEST IN IT 

88
00:03:46,326 --> 00:03:50,530
FOR OUR FUTURE. THE KEY 

89
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:51,731
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ARE HOW WE 

90
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:54,801
WILL PAY FOR IT, AND 

91
00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:55,735
SPECIFICALLY, WHEN. THIS 

92
00:03:55,735 --> 00:03:58,371
BRIEFING AND DISCUSSION WILL 

93
00:03:58,371 --> 00:04:00,373
CENTER AROUND THOSE TWO 

94
00:04:00,373 --> 00:04:02,375
QUESTIONS. OUR SECOND AGENDA 

95
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:07,080
ITEM IS A JOINT MAYORAL AND 

96
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,481

PARTNERSHIPS. IN APRIL, COUNCIL 

111
00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:40,513
PASSED BOLD NEW LEGISLATION THAT

112
00:04:40,513 --> 00:04:45,051
MY OFFICE DEVELOPED AND COWROTE 

113
00:04:45,051 --> 00:04:48,054
WITH MAYOR WILSON AND WHICH 

114
00:04:48,054 --> 00:04:48,655
UNEQUIVOCALLY DECLARED THAT 

115
00:04:48,655 --> 00:04:50,390
SEATTLE IS READY FOR AN NBA 

116
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:55,461
TEAM. WE KNOW THAT CLIMATE 

117
00:04:55,461 --> 00:05:00,466
PLEDGE ARENA TODAY IS READY TO 

118
00:05:00,466 --> 00:05:01,668
WELCOME A NEW NBA FRANCHISE. 

119
00:05:01,668 --> 00:05:02,702
THIS HISTORIC BILL HIGHLIGHTED A

120
00:05:02,702 --> 00:05:07,040
NUMBER OF KEY FACTORS THAT 

121
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,740
DEMONSTRATE OUR READINESS, 

122
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:09,042
RESOLVE, AND ENDURING COMMITMENT

123
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:09,976
TO BRING BACK OUR SONICS ONCE 

124
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:14,147
AND FOR ALL. AGAIN, WE KNOW 

125
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:16,182
CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA IS NBA 

126
00:05:16,182 --> 00:05:18,951
READY TODAY. THAT SAID, I 

127
00:05:18,951 --> 00:05:22,889
BELIEVE THAT MAKING THIS FUNDING

128
00:05:22,889 --> 00:05:24,524
COMMITMENT TO RESTORE AND 

129
00:05:24,524 --> 00:05:25,725
MODERNIZE SEATTLE CENTER ON 

130
00:05:25,725 --> 00:05:28,761
WHICH GROUNDS THE CLIMATE PLEDGE

131
00:05:28,761 --> 00:05:31,531
ARENA SITS AND THROUGH WHICH 

132
00:05:31,531 --> 00:05:33,633
FANS WILL PASS BEFORE AND AFTER 

133
00:05:33,633 --> 00:05:35,301
GAMES IS ANOTHER CRITICAL STEP 

134
00:05:35,301 --> 00:05:35,835
TOWARDS BRINGING BACK OUR 

135
00:05:35,835 --> 00:05:39,639
SONICS. IT'S LITERALLY AN 

136
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:42,575
OPPORTUNITY TO BACK OUR PRIOR 

137
00:05:42,575 --> 00:05:44,210
WORDS AND VALUE STATEMENTS WITH 

138
00:05:44,210 --> 00:05:44,844
CONCRETE TANGIBLE INVESTMENT AND

139
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:49,549
DOLLARS. AND SPECIFIC TIMELINE. 

140
00:05:49,549 --> 00:05:52,952
SO EVEN THIS WON'T BE THE 

141
00:05:52,952 --> 00:05:53,753
DECISIVE FACTOR, BUT HOPEFULLY 

142
00:05:53,753 --> 00:05:55,321
WILL BE A NICE CHERRY ON TOP SO 

143
00:05:55,321 --> 00:05:59,959
TO SPEAK. WE'RE NOT MESSING 

144
00:05:59,959 --> 00:06:01,928
AROUND IF I CAN PARAPHRASE A 

145
00:06:01,928 --> 00:06:03,796
FAMOUS PROVERB, THE BEST TIME TO

DO MAINTENANCE WORK ON SEATTLE 

147
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:09,369
CENTER WAS 20 YEARS AGO AT 

148
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:11,437
LEAST. THE SECOND BEST TIME IS 

149
00:06:11,437 --> 00:06:14,507
NOW. AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO 

150
00:06:14,507 --> 00:06:16,743
CONTINUE TO KICK THIS CAN DOWN 

151
00:06:16,743 --> 00:06:18,044
THE ROAD. THIRD, ON THE AGENDA,

252
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:47,954

OPEN ACCESS TO THE ON RAMP TO 

258
00:09:58,998 --> 00:10:00,166
THE WEST SEATTLE FREEWAY, IT 

259
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:02,702
INDUCES A GREAT AMOUNT OF CUT 

260
00:10:02,702 --> 00:10:04,170
THROUGH TRAFFIC THAT IS A DANGER

261
00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:06,439
AND ANNOYANCE TO THE RESIDENTS 

262
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:08,574
THAT LIVE ON THE STREET. 23rd 

263
00:10:08,574 --> 00:10:11,844
AVENUE SOUTHWEST. THIS ALSO 

264
00:10:11,844 --> 00:10:12,478
INCLUSIONS MORE TRAFFIC ALONG 

265
00:10:12,478 --> 00:10:14,513
21st AVENUE SOUTHWEST WHICH IS 

266
00:10:14,513 --> 00:10:16,082
THE ROUTE OF THE DELRIDGE 

267
00:10:16,082 --> 00:10:17,083

270
00:10:20,152 --> 00:10:21,620
23rd AVENUE SOUTHWEST IS A BIKE 

271
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:23,956
PATH LEADING TO THE WEST SEATTLE

272
00:10:23,956 --> 00:10:25,691
BRIDGE TRAIL. THIS CROSSING IS A

273
00:10:25,691 --> 00:10:27,393
SEVERE RISK FOR BOTH CYCLISTS 

274
00:10:27,393 --> 00:10:29,562
AND MOTORISTS. THE ANGLED STREET

275
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:31,697
DOES NOT ALLOW CLEAR VISIBILITY 

276
00:10:31,697 --> 00:10:33,265
OF TRAFFIC TRAVELING NORTH ON 

277
00:10:33,265 --> 00:10:35,334
DELRIDGE WAY TO THE WEST SEATTLE

278
00:10:35,334 --> 00:10:36,702
FREEWAY ON RAMP. THIS FORCES 

279
00:10:36,702 --> 00:10:39,038
DRIVERS TO BLOCK THE BIKEWAY TO 

280
00:10:39,038 --> 00:10:40,373
SEE APPROACHING TRAFFIC WHILE 

281
00:10:40,373 --> 00:10:41,607
WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC TO 

282
00:10:41,607 --> 00:10:42,775
CLEAR. THE DRIVERS ARE OFTEN 

283
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:45,077
FOCUSED ON LOOKING TO THE LEFT 

284
00:10:45,077 --> 00:10:46,712
AND NEVER SEE THE BIKE RIDERS 

285
00:10:46,712 --> 00:10:48,514
COMING DOWNHILL FROM THE WEST 

286
00:10:48,514 --> 00:10:49,448
SEATTLE BRIDGE TRAIL. ALSO A 

287
00:10:49,448 --> 00:10:51,083
HAZARD FOR MOTORISTS IN THE 

288
00:10:51,083 --> 00:10:53,252
NORTHBOUND DELRIDGE WAY TRAFFIC 

289
00:10:53,252 --> 00:10:55,354
IS ALREADY APPROACHING ON RAMP 

290
00:10:55,354 --> 00:10:55,921
ACCELERATION SPEEDS TO THE 

291
00:10:55,921 --> 00:10:58,391
FREEWAY. THE TIGHT CORNER IT 

292
00:10:58,391 --> 00:10:59,558
MAKES MOST OF THE DRIVERS 

293
00:10:59,558 --> 00:11:01,594
OVERSHOOT THE LANE AND THEN 

294
00:11:01,594 --> 00:11:02,662
PARTIALLY GO INTO THE THROUGH 

295
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:04,430
LANE ON DELRIDGE WAY THAT GOES 

296
00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:07,867
TO SPOKANE STREET. THIS INDUCES 

297
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:09,268
TRAFFIC FROM THIS STREET BEING 

298
00:11:09,268 --> 00:11:11,437
OPEN TO THE WEST SEATTLE FREEWAY

299
00:11:11,437 --> 00:11:13,105
ON RAMP COMPRISES MOSTLY OF 

300
00:11:13,105 --> 00:11:14,440
DRIVERS TRYING TO AVOID TRAFFIC 

301
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,408
CONTROL MEASURES AND ARE OFTEN 

302
00:11:15,408 --> 00:11:16,642
MOST LIKELY IN A RUSH TO DRIVE 

303
00:11:16,642 --> 00:11:19,512
OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS IS A 

304
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:22,081
CONCERN OF THE RESIDENTS THAT 

305
00:11:22,081 --> 00:11:22,982

BRIEF OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE 

421
00:17:27,513 --> 00:17:30,416
SEATTLE CENTER THAT I LEARNED IN

422
00:17:30,416 --> 00:17:34,987
THE FIRST FEW MONTHS AS ASSUMING

423
00:17:34,987 --> 00:17:38,090
THE COUNCIL CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE 

424
00:17:38,090 --> 00:17:41,360
SEATTLE DEPARTMENT. THAT IS, 

425
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,328
SEATTLE CENTER. AND TAKING 

426
00:17:43,328 --> 00:17:44,563
MULTIPLE TOURS AND SITE VISITS 

427
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:46,999
IN MY SORT OF DAY JOB AND I'M 

428
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:48,267
ALWAYS THERE REGULARLY WITH MY 

429
00:17:48,267 --> 00:17:50,536
FAMILY. I LOVE THE PLACE AND THE

430
00:17:50,536 --> 00:17:51,670
SPACE. IT'S GREAT FOR FAMILIES 

431
00:17:51,670 --> 00:17:54,573
AND CAN BE EVEN BETTER. BUT ALSO

432
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:56,075
SPEAKING WITH LITERALLY HUNDREDS

433
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:57,810
OF STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT IT OVER 

434
00:17:57,810 --> 00:17:59,945
THE PAST FEW MONTHS ALONE. IT'S

435
00:17:59,945 --> 00:18:03,348
VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT AFTER 60 

436
00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:05,384
YEARS, OF CONTINUOUS USE, MUCH 

437
00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:10,756
OF THE SEATTLE CENTER'S CORE 

438
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:12,057
INFRASTRUCTURE HAS AGED 

439
00:18:12,057 --> 00:18:13,592
SIGNIFICANTLY. MANY FACILITIES 

440
00:18:13,592 --> 00:18:17,129
NOW REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL 

441
00:18:17,129 --> 00:18:17,896
REINVESTMENT TO REMAIN 

442
00:18:17,896 --> 00:18:18,464
ACCESSIBLE, RESILIENT, AND 

443
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:21,567
RELEVANT. CORE SYSTEMS ACROSS 

444
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:23,869
THE CAMPUS HAVE EXPERIENCED 

445
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:24,336
DECADES-LONG DEFERRED 

446
00:18:24,336 --> 00:18:25,003
MAINTENANCE CHALLENGES AND ARE 

447
00:18:25,003 --> 00:18:26,105
OPERATING FAR BEYOND THEIR 

448
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:27,473
INTENDED LIFE CYCLE INCREASING 

449
00:18:27,473 --> 00:18:31,944
THE RISK OF DISRUPTION TO ONE OF

450
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:32,578
THE CITY'S MOST ICONIC CIVIC 

451
00:18:32,578 --> 00:18:37,349
ASSETS. VERY CLEAR THAT WE CAN 

452
00:18:37,349 --> 00:18:39,485
NO LONGER TAKE A PASS THE BUCK 

453
00:18:39,485 --> 00:18:40,919
APPROACH AND PASS THE BUCK ON TO

454
00:18:40,919 --> 00:18:42,354
FUTURE DECISION MAKERS IN THE 

455
00:18:42,354 --> 00:18:45,591
CITY TO FIND A WAY TO ADDRESS 

456
00:18:45,591 --> 00:18:47,659
THE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS OR NOT. IT

457
00:18:47,659 --> 00:18:50,562
NEEDS CRITICAL WORK AND THAT 

458
00:18:50,562 --> 00:18:52,397
WORK OFFICIALLY KICKS OFF TODAY.

459
00:18:52,397 --> 00:18:53,565
SPEAKING OF WORK AND LABOR 

460
00:18:53,565 --> 00:18:55,567
THAT'S WHY I ALSO WANT TO THANK

461
00:18:55,567 --> 00:18:59,872

462
00:18:59,872 --> 00:19:01,840

YOU ALL DO TO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL 

464
00:19:05,944 --> 00:19:08,981
ECONOMY. WE KNOW THAT LABOR 

465
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:10,849
UNIONS STRENGTHEN SEATTLE'S 

466
00:19:10,849 --> 00:19:14,253
ECONOMY BY RAISING WAGES 

467
00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:14,820
IMPROVING BENEFITS AND 

468
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:15,654
SUPPORTING SAFER WORKPLACES. 

469
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:18,524
STRONG UNIONS HELP REDUCE WAGE 

470
00:19:18,524 --> 00:19:20,526
GAPS, EXPAND ECONOMIC MOBILITY, 

471
00:19:20,526 --> 00:19:21,793
AND INCREASE CONSUMER SPENDING. 

472
00:19:21,793 --> 00:19:25,864
THEY ALSO SUPPORT WORK FORCE 

473
00:19:25,864 --> 00:19:26,865
TRAINING AND APPRENTICESHIP 

474
00:19:26,865 --> 00:19:27,799
PROGRAMS THAT SUSTAIN SEATTLE'S

475
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:28,433
CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURING 

476
00:19:28,433 --> 00:19:31,436
INDUSTRIES. FOLKS, THIS IS ABOUT

477
00:19:31,436 --> 00:19:34,106
MORE THAN BEAUTIFYING AND 

478
00:19:34,106 --> 00:19:34,973
MAINTAINING A VIBRANT PUBLIC 

479
00:19:34,973 --> 00:19:36,675
SPACE. THAT SO DESPERATELY NEEDS

480
00:19:36,675 --> 00:19:38,810
IT.. THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN 

481
00:19:38,810 --> 00:19:40,679
INVESTING IN OUR LOCAL ECONOMY, 

482
00:19:40,679 --> 00:19:41,580
STRENGTHENING OUR CULTURE AND 

483
00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:43,849

WORKING FAMILIES AND OUR YOUTH. 

486
00:19:47,653 --> 00:19:49,588
OR EVEN HELPING TO PLAY A 

487
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:52,958
TANGENTIAL ROLE IN BRINGING BACK

488
00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:56,695

489
00:19:56,695 --> 00:19:59,064
OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE MORE GOOD

UNION, GOOD PAYING JOBS. AND 

491

ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE. THIS IS

492
00:20:03,068 --> 00:20:04,770
ABOUT GETTING HAMMERS IN HANDS 

493
00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:08,073
AND SHOVELS IN THE GROUND TO 

494
00:20:08,073 --> 00:20:09,675
KEEP PAYCHECKS COMING INTO OUR

00:20:09,675 --> 00:20:11,276
LOCAL WORK FORCE, BUT AGAIN, 

496
00:20:11,276 --> 00:20:12,177
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. 

497
00:20:12,177 --> 00:20:16,181

COME TOGETHER AT THE CAMPUS. 

578
00:22:50,869 --> 00:22:52,871
WE'RE LARGELY SELF-FUNDED AND 

579
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:54,406
WE GENERATE 70% OF OUR OWN 

580
00:22:54,406 --> 00:22:56,675
REVENUE TO COVER THE EXPENSES OF

581
00:22:56,675 --> 00:22:57,909
RUNNING THE DEPARTMENT YEAR OVER

582
00:22:57,909 --> 00:23:01,012
YEAR. WE ARE VERY PROUD TO 

583
00:23:01,012 --> 00:23:02,047
MANAGE WATERFRONT PARK WHICH IS 

584
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:04,149
A REALLY WONDERFUL RESOURCE DOWN

585
00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:06,017
ON THE WATERFRONT. WELCOMING 

586
00:23:06,017 --> 00:23:07,419

EVENT MANAGEMENT. AND EVERYTHING

596
00:23:24,002 --> 00:23:26,471
IN-BETWEEN AND WE WORK WITH TEN 

597
00:23:26,471 --> 00:23:27,139
CRITICAL LABOR PARTNERS MANY OF 

598
00:23:27,139 --> 00:23:28,707
WHOM ARE HERE AT THE TABLE OR 

599
00:23:28,707 --> 00:23:29,775
VIRTUALLY AND WE'RE VERY PROUD 

600
00:23:29,775 --> 00:23:34,780
TO BE IN DEEP PARTNERSHIP WITH 

601
00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:35,447
OUR UNION PARTNERS. THIS IS OUR 

602
00:23:35,447 --> 00:23:36,448
VISION AND OUR MISSION AND I 

603
00:23:36,448 --> 00:23:38,049
WON'T READ IT TO YOU BECAUSE 

604
00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:39,751
IT'S ANNOYING WHEN PEOPLE READ 

605
00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:40,385
WHAT'S ON A POWERPOINT. BUT 

606
00:23:40,385 --> 00:23:41,486
SEATTLE CENTER HAS BEEN AN 

607
00:23:41,486 --> 00:23:42,754
ANCHOR AND A GATHERING PLACE FOR

608
00:23:42,754 --> 00:23:46,158
THIS CITY FOR ITS ENTIRE HISTORY

609
00:23:46,158 --> 00:23:47,759
SINCE 1962. IT'S WHERE WE 

610
00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:49,461
FILLED THE FOUNTAIN PAVILION 

611
00:23:49,461 --> 00:23:50,295
WITH FLOWERS ON 9/11. IT'S 

612
00:23:50,295 --> 00:23:51,530
WHERE WE PROTEST AND IT'S WHERE

613
00:23:51,530 --> 00:23:52,497
WE CELEBRATE AND COME TOGETHER. 

614
00:23:52,497 --> 00:23:53,465
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST DEMOCRATIC

615
00:23:53,465 --> 00:23:59,104
SPACES IN THE STATE OF 

616
00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:00,338
WASHINGTON. WE RECENTLY LAUNCHED

617
00:24:00,338 --> 00:24:01,907
A STRATEGIC PLAN. A TEN YEAR 

618
00:24:01,907 --> 00:24:04,342
PLAN. THAT A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE

619
00:24:04,342 --> 00:24:08,079
ROOM HELPED TO MAKE HAPPEN. AND 

620
00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:09,114
IT'S A REALLY THOUGHTFUL 

621
00:24:09,114 --> 00:24:10,315
VISION. ONE, THE GOAL NUMBER ONE

622
00:24:10,315 --> 00:24:11,917
IS REALLY ABOUT MAINTAINING THAT

623
00:24:11,917 --> 00:24:13,518
CULTURAL HEART OF THE CITY WHICH

624
00:24:13,518 --> 00:24:17,956
IS ABOUT HOW WE DRIVE AND 

625
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:18,590
SUSTAIN PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND 

626
00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:20,459
ACTIVITY FOR PUBLIC EXPERIENCE 

627
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:21,126
ON THE CAMPUS. THE SECOND IS HOW

628
00:24:21,126 --> 00:24:22,627
WE REINVEST IN THE CAMPUS AS A 

629
00:24:22,627 --> 00:24:23,328
GATHERING SPACE. IT'S A LOT OF 

630
00:24:23,328 --> 00:24:24,496
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 

631
00:24:24,496 --> 00:24:26,398
HERE TODAY. WE DO A LOT OF 

632
00:24:26,398 --> 00:24:28,433
AMAZING THINGS ON THE BACK OF 

633
00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:29,067
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS IN MOST 

634
00:24:29,067 --> 00:24:29,668
CASES WELL BEYOND ITS USEFUL 

635
00:24:29,668 --> 00:24:33,071
LIFE. AND WE ARE HOPING THAT WE 

636
00:24:33,071 --> 00:24:36,575
CAN SEE PUBLIC INVESTMENT IN 

637
00:24:36,575 --> 00:24:37,676
THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THE 

638
00:24:37,676 --> 00:24:38,877
THIRD IS BUILDING AND 

639
00:24:38,877 --> 00:24:39,377
MAINTAINING LONG TERM 

640
00:24:39,377 --> 00:24:40,846
SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC MOD EARL 

641
00:24:40,846 --> 00:24:41,580
FOR THE CAMPUS ITSELF AND THE 

642
00:24:41,580 --> 00:24:43,081
DEPARTMENT AND THE ORGANIZATIONS

643
00:24:43,081 --> 00:24:45,951
THAT CALL IT HOME. SO ABOUT SOME

644
00:24:45,951 --> 00:24:48,153
OF OUR CRITICAL REPAIR AND 

645
00:24:48,153 --> 00:24:49,154
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS. LOT OF THE

646
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:51,156
CORE BUILDINGS, THE ARMORY, THE 

647
00:24:51,156 --> 00:24:52,324
CHILDREN'S THEATER, THE SEATTLE

648
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:54,626
REP, THE NORTHWEST ROOMS, ARE AT

649
00:24:54,626 --> 00:24:55,961
OR WELL BEYOND THEIR USEFUL 

650
00:24:55,961 --> 00:24:57,462
LIFE. A LOT OF THESE FACILITIES 

651
00:24:57,462 --> 00:24:58,997
WERE BUILT IN 1962 FOR THE 

652
00:24:58,997 --> 00:25:00,098
WORLD'S FAIR. AND IN SOME CASES

653
00:25:00,098 --> 00:25:01,867
ONLY INTENDED TO LAST FOR THREE 

654
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:05,103
YEARS. THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

655
00:25:05,103 --> 00:25:06,271
AVAILABLE PUBLIC FUNDING HAS 

656
00:25:06,271 --> 00:25:10,208
BEEN VERY LIMITED OVER THE PAST 

657
00:25:10,208 --> 00:25:12,110
TWO DECADES. THERE HADN'T REALLY

658
00:25:12,110 --> 00:25:15,213
BEEN A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN

659
00:25:15,213 --> 00:25:17,749
THE CAMPUS SINCE 1991 HAS MY 

660
00:25:17,749 --> 00:25:18,416
FRIEND ROB JOHNSON LIKES TO SAY.

661
00:25:18,416 --> 00:25:20,852
HE WAS IN SEVENTH GRADE AND NOW 

662
00:25:20,852 --> 00:25:21,920
HAS A SEVENTH GRADER. THAT'S 

663
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,388
WHERE WE FIND OURSELVES. AND YOU

664
00:25:23,388 --> 00:25:24,022
KNOW I'M VERY, VERY PROUD OF 

665
00:25:24,022 --> 00:25:25,757
THE PORK THAT THE TEAM CONTINUES

666
00:25:25,757 --> 00:25:28,493
TO DO. BUT IT IS -- INCREDIBLY 

667
00:25:28,493 --> 00:25:29,194
INEFFICIENT AND COSTS MORE MONEY

668
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:30,395
TO DO IT ON TOP OF 

669
00:25:30,395 --> 00:25:32,731
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S AT RISK 

670
00:25:32,731 --> 00:25:34,766
OF CRITICAL FAILURE AT ANY GIVEN

671
00:25:34,766 --> 00:25:36,434
MOMENT. THE LAST VOTER APPROVED 

672
00:25:36,434 --> 00:25:39,371
LEVY LIKE I SAID WAS IN 1991 AND

673
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:41,907
THAT WAS FOR $25 MILLION. WHICH 

674
00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:42,540
REALLY IS ONLY SCRATCHING 

675
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:44,476
SURFACE OF THE NEED. THINGS THAT

676
00:25:44,476 --> 00:25:49,047
CAN HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF THIS 

677
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:50,649
INVESTMENT ARE -- ADDRESSING THE

678
00:25:50,649 --> 00:25:53,084
CRITICAL NEEDS AT PLACES LIKE 

679
00:25:53,084 --> 00:25:53,752
McCALL HALL. THE ARMORY, THE 

680
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:54,953
EXHIBITION HALL AS WELL AS THE 

681
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:57,622
CHILDREN'S THEATER AS I 

682
00:25:57,622 --> 00:26:01,526
MENTIONED IN THE NORTHWEST 

683
00:26:01,526 --> 00:26:05,931
ROOMS. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO

684
00:26:05,931 --> 00:26:07,332
DECARBONIZE THE CAMPUS. WHICH IS

685
00:26:07,332 --> 00:26:08,900
NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO 

686
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:10,869
SEE HAPPEN LONG-TERM. SO WE'D 

687
00:26:10,869 --> 00:26:11,670
REALLY LOVE TO NOT ONLY 

688
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:12,604
DECARBONIZE THE CAMPUS BUT SEE 

689
00:26:12,604 --> 00:26:13,872
ALL THE UNION JOBS THAT ARE 

690
00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:15,840
GOING TO COME ALONG WITH THAT 

691
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,943
WORK AND THE MAINTENANCE OF THE 

692
00:26:17,943 --> 00:26:18,510
WORK GOING FORWARD. WE CAN 

693
00:26:18,510 --> 00:26:20,278
ELEVATE THE HEART OF THE CAMPUS 

694
00:26:20,278 --> 00:26:23,949
TO CONTINUE TO BE A DESTINATION 

695
00:26:23,949 --> 00:26:25,917
FOR LOCALS AND VISITORS ALIKE 

696
00:26:25,917 --> 00:26:27,519
TRANSFORMING THE ARMORY INTO A 

697
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:28,520
MORE PERMEABLE. MORE DYNAMIC 

698
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,355
SPACE THAT CAN HOST MORE EVENTS 

699
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:31,589
AND OFFER MORE TO COMMUNITY AND 

700
00:26:31,589 --> 00:26:33,391
THE FESTIVALS THAT OCCUR ON 

701
00:26:33,391 --> 00:26:34,192
CAMPUS. EXPAND THE ARTIST AT 

702
00:26:34,192 --> 00:26:37,062
PLAY GROUNDS TO REALLY BE A 

703
00:26:37,062 --> 00:26:37,596
DESTINATION. UPGRADE THE 

704
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:38,430
INTERNATIONAL FOUNTAIN AND ALL 

705
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:40,298
THE FOUNTAINS THAT EXIST ALONG 

706
00:26:40,298 --> 00:26:41,599
THE CAMPUS. PRESERVE AND ENHANCE

707
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:42,667
THE SCIENCE CENTER COURTYARDS 

708
00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:44,669
AND THE ARCHES ONE OF THE ICONIC

709
00:26:44,669 --> 00:26:46,204
SPACES SO GREAT THAT NOW THE 

710
00:26:46,204 --> 00:26:47,272
GATES ARE DOWN, AND IF WE CAN 

711
00:26:47,272 --> 00:26:49,574
GET THE POOLS BACK WORKING IT 

712
00:26:49,574 --> 00:26:50,709
WOULD BE EVEN BETTER. AND PLUG 

713
00:26:50,709 --> 00:26:51,943
AND PLAY INFRASTRUCTURE, WE HOST

714
00:26:51,943 --> 00:26:54,012
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF EVENTS 

715
00:26:54,012 --> 00:26:55,113
ALL OVER THE CAMPUS. IT'S 

716
00:26:55,113 --> 00:26:57,782
INCREDIBLY INEFFICIENT TO SET UP

717
00:26:57,782 --> 00:27:01,219
AND TEAR DOWN GENERATORS AND 

718
00:27:01,219 --> 00:27:01,853
ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND 

719
00:27:01,853 --> 00:27:04,522
FENCING. EVENT OVER EVENT. WE 

720
00:27:04,522 --> 00:27:05,423
CAN ACTUALLY MODERNIZE AND 

721
00:27:05,423 --> 00:27:06,091
IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT 

722
00:27:06,091 --> 00:27:07,559
EXISTS SO IT COULD BE PLUG AND 

723
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:09,260
PLAY. SOME OF THAT IS ALREADY 

724
00:27:09,260 --> 00:27:10,862
HAPPENING WITH THE INVESTMENT IN

725
00:27:10,862 --> 00:27:12,297
MEMORIAL STADIUM WHICH IS REALLY

726
00:27:12,297 --> 00:27:14,432
EXCITING. AND THEN YOU KNOW, 

727
00:27:14,432 --> 00:27:15,967
THIS CAMPUS WAS BUILT TO EITHER 

728
00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:16,968
KEEP PEOPLE OUT OR IN DEPENDING 

729
00:27:16,968 --> 00:27:19,437
HOW YOU THINK ABOUT IT IN '62. I

730
00:27:19,437 --> 00:27:21,072
MEAN, IT WAS AN ARMORY AND WE 

731
00:27:21,072 --> 00:27:23,475
REALLY WARM TO CONNECT TO 

732
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:26,177
DOWNTOWN TO THE SURROUNDING 

733
00:27:26,177 --> 00:27:28,313
NEIGHBORHOODS AND TO SOUTH LAKE 

734
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:28,847
UNION AND THE WATERFRONT. 

735
00:27:28,847 --> 00:27:31,249
THERE'S GOING TO BE ABOUT A 

736
00:27:31,249 --> 00:27:32,550
FOUR BLOCK GAP BETWEEN THE NEW 

737
00:27:32,550 --> 00:27:34,052
WATERFRONT PARK AND THE CAMPUS 

738
00:27:34,052 --> 00:27:36,154
ITSELF AND WE REALLY WANT TO 

739
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:37,789
CONNECT PHYSICALLY AND THROUGH 

740
00:27:37,789 --> 00:27:38,790
PEDESTRIAN AND TRANSIT MEANS TO 

741
00:27:38,790 --> 00:27:40,892
THE WHOLE CITY. SEATTLE CENTER 

742
00:27:40,892 --> 00:27:43,061
IS THE HEART OF THE CITY. 

743
00:27:43,061 --> 00:27:43,728
CULTURALLY AND CIVICALLY. BUT A 

744
00:27:43,728 --> 00:27:45,597
HEART IS CONNECTED TO THE WHOLE 

745
00:27:45,597 --> 00:27:46,531
BODY BY A CIRCULATORY SYSTEM. SO

746
00:27:46,531 --> 00:27:48,066
WE WANT TO CONNECT TO EVERY 

747
00:27:48,066 --> 00:27:50,168
CORNER OF SEATTLE AND MAKE SURE 

748
00:27:50,168 --> 00:27:51,870
EVERYBODY FEELS WELCOME THERE. 

749
00:27:51,870 --> 00:27:53,304
WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE MONORAIL 

750
00:27:53,304 --> 00:27:54,839
CONNECTIONS AND THE MONORAIL IS 

751
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:55,607
AN INCREDIBLY HARD WORKING 

752
00:27:55,607 --> 00:27:56,641
TRANSIT SYSTEM. I LEARNED A LOT 

753
00:27:56,641 --> 00:27:58,810
ABOUT THE MONORAIL IN THE LAST 

754
00:27:58,810 --> 00:27:59,511
EIGHT WEEKS. BUT THE RIDERSHIP 

755
00:27:59,511 --> 00:28:02,247
NUMBERS ARE PRETTY STAGGERING 

756
00:28:02,247 --> 00:28:04,082
AND ONLY GROWING. AND WE WANT TO

757
00:28:04,082 --> 00:28:04,949
CREIGHTON ACONNIC GATEWAY THAT 

758
00:28:04,949 --> 00:28:07,285
REALLY ENHANCES A SENSE OF 

759
00:28:07,285 --> 00:28:07,852
ARRIVAL TO THE CAMPUS. THE 

760
00:28:07,852 --> 00:28:09,688
ARMORY IS A BIG PART OF THIS. 

761
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:11,890
IT'S THE MOST VISITED BUILDING 

762
00:28:11,890 --> 00:28:12,524
ON THE CAMPUS AND TRUST WHERE 

763
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:14,526
THE RESTROOMS ARE FOR ALL THE 

764
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:15,860
EVENTS THAT COME THROUGH. IT'S 

765
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:18,096
WHERE THE FOOD HALL IS AND IT'S

766
00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:18,563
HOME TO MANY RESIDENT 

767
00:28:18,563 --> 00:28:19,798
ORGANIZATIONS WHERE ALL OF OUR 

768
00:28:19,798 --> 00:28:23,068
STAFF LIVES AND IT'S THE HOME 

769
00:28:23,068 --> 00:28:23,902
OF SEATTLE CENTER AND MILLIONS 

770
00:28:23,902 --> 00:28:26,604
OF VISITORS A YEAR COME THROUGH 

771
00:28:26,604 --> 00:28:28,073
THE BUILDING. WE TALKED A LITTLE

772
00:28:28,073 --> 00:28:29,274
BIT ABOUT WHAT'S POSSIBLE ON 

773
00:28:29,274 --> 00:28:31,176
THE GROUNDS THEMSELVES. THERE IS

774
00:28:31,176 --> 00:28:36,915
A RENDERING OF HOW THE FOUNTAIN 

775
00:28:36,915 --> 00:28:37,449
MIGHT CONNECT THE FISHER 

776
00:28:37,449 --> 00:28:38,983
PAVILION. HAVING THIS SO WE CAN 

777
00:28:38,983 --> 00:28:41,052
ACCOMMODATE MORE PEOPLE AND MORE

778
00:28:41,052 --> 00:28:42,887
ADA ACCESS. ADA WASN'T REALLY A

779
00:28:42,887 --> 00:28:43,721
THING IN 1962 IN THE WORLD'S 

780
00:28:43,721 --> 00:28:45,390
FAIR. THIS IS A BIG CHALLENGE 

781
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:46,758
THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS AND IN 

782
00:28:46,758 --> 00:28:47,792
MANY OF OUR BUILDINGS. SO WE 

783
00:28:47,792 --> 00:28:49,728
REALLY WANT TO -- TO SEE NOT 

784
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:50,361
JUST THE BUILDINGS CONNECT OUT 

785
00:28:50,361 --> 00:28:51,830
TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT TO SEE

786
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:53,231
THEM CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER 

787
00:28:53,231 --> 00:28:55,133
AND HAVE IT BE ONE CONTINUOUS 

788
00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:57,335
EXPERIENCE AS YOU MOVE THROUGH 

789
00:28:57,335 --> 00:28:58,670
THE CAMPUS. THE SCIENCE CENTER 

790
00:28:58,670 --> 00:29:02,107
HAS BEEN A GREAT ASSET FOR A 

791
00:29:02,107 --> 00:29:03,508
LONG TIME. WE WANT TO EXPAND THE

792
00:29:03,508 --> 00:29:05,777
HEART OF THE CAMPUS INTO THE 

793
00:29:05,777 --> 00:29:06,377
COURTYARDS. THE GATES COMING 

794
00:29:06,377 --> 00:29:10,782
DOWN ARE A BIG PART OF THAT. 

795
00:29:10,782 --> 00:29:12,617
ENHANCE THE POOLS AND ARCHES AND

796
00:29:12,617 --> 00:29:15,854
WE WANT TO BE THE NORTH ANCHOR 

797
00:29:15,854 --> 00:29:17,088
OF A REVITALIZED DOWNTOWN THAT 

798
00:29:17,088 --> 00:29:19,190
CAN GO THROUGH WEST LAKE INTO 

799
00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:20,358
HISTORIC SOUTH DOWNTOWN AND 

800
00:29:20,358 --> 00:29:23,795
REALLY A CATALYST TO THE 

801
00:29:23,795 --> 00:29:25,063
REIMAGINATION AND REVITALIZATION

802
00:29:25,063 --> 00:29:26,364
OF THE ENTIRE CENTER CITY. AND 

803
00:29:26,364 --> 00:29:28,433
ONE OF THE EARLY THINGS WE'RE 

804
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:30,135
GOING TO DO IS LOOKING AT THE 

805
00:29:30,135 --> 00:29:31,136
THOMAS STREET AREA. THE NEW 

806
00:29:31,136 --> 00:29:31,836
MONORAIL PLATFORM AND HOW WE 

807
00:29:31,836 --> 00:29:33,938
MIGHT TURN THAT INTO MORE OF A 

808
00:29:33,938 --> 00:29:36,708
DESTINATION FESTIVAL STREET THAT

809
00:29:36,708 --> 00:29:39,344
KEEPS PEOPLE LINGERING AND 

810
00:29:39,344 --> 00:29:40,645
GATHERING. THINKING ABOUT THE 

811
00:29:40,645 --> 00:29:41,579
THEATER COMMONS AND HOW WE 

812
00:29:41,579 --> 00:29:42,580
REALLY DOUBLE DOWN ON THE 

813
00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:44,749
THEATER DISTRICT AND HAVING THE 

814
00:29:44,749 --> 00:29:47,352
GATEWAYS WITH ART WORKS THAT CAN

815
00:29:47,352 --> 00:29:48,419
REALLY WELCOME PEOPLE WITH 

816
00:29:48,419 --> 00:29:49,354
GESTURE TO THE CAMPUS. THERE'S 

817
00:29:49,354 --> 00:29:50,522
A LOT HAPPENING IN SEATTLE 

818
00:29:50,522 --> 00:29:52,690
CENTER. WE CAN TALK ABOUT ANY 

819
00:29:52,690 --> 00:29:54,659
AND ALL OF IT. BUT I WANTED TO 

820
00:29:54,659 --> 00:29:55,927

FRAMING AND TEEING UP THE NEED, 

828
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,006
OPPORTUNITY. AT THIS TIME, WE'D

829
00:30:08,006 --> 00:30:16,948

RENOVATE THE SEATTLE CENTER ONCE

836
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:28,026
AND FOR ALL. AND THEN WE CAN 

837
00:30:28,026 --> 00:30:29,694
KIND OF INFORMALLY RIFF OFF OF 

838
00:30:29,694 --> 00:30:30,295
IT. THERE'S SOMETHING THAT 

839
00:30:30,295 --> 00:30:32,096

00:30:32,096 --> 00:30:35,200
SPEAKS TO YOU, MOVES YOU, YOU

UNION. AND THANK YOU DIRECTOR 

863
00:31:23,948 --> 00:31:24,849
FOR THE INCREDIBLE PRESENTATION 

864
00:31:24,849 --> 00:31:32,290
ON THIS PRIORITY FOR THE CITY OF

865
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:33,992
SEATTLE. FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, 

866
00:31:33,992 --> 00:31:34,592
THE SEATTLE CENTER IS SEATTLE 

867
00:31:34,592 --> 00:31:38,496
SPACE. AND YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR

868
00:31:38,496 --> 00:31:42,200
FACE. YOU KNOW? YOU WASH IT. YOU

869
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,936
BRUSH YOUR TEETH. YOU PLUCK HER 

870
00:31:44,936 --> 00:31:45,870
EYEBROWS AND YOU WANT IT TO LOOK

871
00:31:45,870 --> 00:31:47,839
GOOD AND YOU NEED IT TO 

872
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:51,809
FUNCTION. THIS SEATTLE CENTER IS

873
00:31:51,809 --> 00:31:54,279
NOT JUST THE FACE TO THE WORLD, 

874
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:58,016
TO THE CRUISE SHIPS AND ALL THE 

875
00:31:58,016 --> 00:32:01,819
TOURISTS THAT VISIT US HERE, 

876
00:32:01,819 --> 00:32:05,957
IT'S WHERE OUR FAMILIES AND OUR

877
00:32:05,957 --> 00:32:08,092
KIDS AND OUR ELDERS HAVE OUR 

878
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:11,629
MOST JOYOUS MOMENTS. IT'S OUR 

879
00:32:11,629 --> 00:32:14,832
BACKYARD. AND AS A UNION WOMAN, 

880
00:32:14,832 --> 00:32:17,769
I WANT TO SAY THAT NOTHING IS 

881
00:32:17,769 --> 00:32:19,137
TOO GOOD FOR THE WORKING CLASS. 

882
00:32:19,137 --> 00:32:20,972
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE IT SO 

883
00:32:20,972 --> 00:32:26,010
THAT WE CAN BE A WORLD CENTER OF

884
00:32:26,010 --> 00:32:27,845
AEROSPACE AND TECHNOLOGY AND ALL

885
00:32:27,845 --> 00:32:29,080
THE TEACHERS AND HEALTH CARE 

886
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:29,681
WORKERS AND TRANSIT WORKERS, 

887
00:32:29,681 --> 00:32:33,951
NOTHING IS TOO GOOD FOR THEM. 

888
00:32:33,951 --> 00:32:38,623
AND THEY DESERVE A BACKYARD, A 

889
00:32:38,623 --> 00:32:40,658
SEATTLE CENTER THAT TRULY BEFITS

890
00:32:40,658 --> 00:32:47,365
WHAT THEY PROVIDE TO SEATTLE AND

891
00:32:47,365 --> 00:32:48,132
OUR REGION. FROM A CLIMATE 

892
00:32:48,132 --> 00:32:53,137
PERSPECTIVE, REDOING THE SEATTLE

893
00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:57,008
CENTER IS VERY IMPORTANT. WE 

894
00:32:57,008 --> 00:32:59,277
NEED CLIMATE RESILIENCE. IT'S 

895
00:32:59,277 --> 00:33:02,080
GETTING TOO HOT. THE WEATHER IS 

896
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,715
TOO VOLATILE ON A SMOKY DAY THE 

897
00:33:03,715 --> 00:33:08,519
AIR IS UNFIT TO BREATHE. WE NEED

898
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:12,056
PLACES THAT ARE PUBLIC, THAT ARE

899
00:33:12,056 --> 00:33:14,592
ACCESSIBLE, AND THAT ARE A GOOD 

900
00:33:14,592 --> 00:33:16,361
TIME. AND THEY HAVE TO BE COOL 

901
00:33:16,361 --> 00:33:21,265
AND THE AIR HAS TO BE CLEAN. 

902
00:33:21,265 --> 00:33:23,568
THEY HAVE TO BE NICE. TO HEAR 

903
00:33:23,568 --> 00:33:27,905
THAT 16% OF THE CARBON POLLUTION

904
00:33:27,905 --> 00:33:28,539
COMES FROM THIS FACILITY IS 

905
00:33:28,539 --> 00:33:31,776
UNACCEPTABLE. BUT MORE THAN 

906
00:33:31,776 --> 00:33:34,746
ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM, WE NEED 

907
00:33:34,746 --> 00:33:36,447
TO MAKE IT BE THE SOLUTION. 

908
00:33:36,447 --> 00:33:39,684
RIGHT NOW, THERE IS A HEATING 

909
00:33:39,684 --> 00:33:41,185
AND VENTILATION SYSTEM AND A 

910
00:33:41,185 --> 00:33:43,788
COOLING SYSTEM AT THE SEATTLE 

911
00:33:43,788 --> 00:33:45,923
CENTER THAT IS GOING TO FAIL 

912
00:33:45,923 --> 00:33:48,459
WHEN WE MOST NEED IT. BECAUSE IT

913
00:33:48,459 --> 00:33:54,699
IS ANCIENT AND IT IS COLLAPSING.

914
00:33:54,699 --> 00:33:57,001
MT. CITY OF SEATTLE AND THE 

915
00:33:57,001 --> 00:33:59,103
PRIVATE SECTOR JOIN FORCES TO 

916
00:33:59,103 --> 00:34:02,507
BUILD CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA, IT 

917
00:34:02,507 --> 00:34:05,209
WAS VISIONARY. AND THAT IS AN 

918
00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:05,710
ICONIC FOSSIL FUEL-FREE 

919
00:34:05,710 --> 00:34:09,213
FACILITY. THE WHOLE OF SEATTLE 

920
00:34:09,213 --> 00:34:12,617
CENTER NEEDS TO BE THAT WAY. 

921
00:34:12,617 --> 00:34:14,085
BECAUSE YOU CANNOT ALWAYS JUST 

922
00:34:14,085 --> 00:34:15,386
WALK INTO CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA 

923
00:34:15,386 --> 00:34:16,788
BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS JUST WALK 

924
00:34:16,788 --> 00:34:18,923
INTO THE ARMORY AND IT'S SUCH A

925
00:34:18,923 --> 00:34:21,659
SPECIAL PLACE. NOW IS THE TIME 

926
00:34:21,659 --> 00:34:23,394
TO INVEST IN ADDRESSING CLIMATE 

927
00:34:23,394 --> 00:34:24,562
CHANGE AND BRINGING CLIMATE 

928
00:34:24,562 --> 00:34:29,400
RESILIENCE TO SEATTLE. THAT'S 

929
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:29,567
IT. 

930
00:34:29,567 --> 00:34:32,203
>> THANK YOU NICOLE. AND THAT'S

931
00:34:32,203 --> 00:34:35,173
-- JUST HIT ALL THE POINTS AND I

932
00:34:35,173 --> 00:34:37,442
WANT TO SAVE. ONCE AGAIN MONTY 

933
00:34:37,442 --> 00:34:38,109
ANDERSON WITH SEATTLE BUILDING 

934
00:34:38,109 --> 00:34:41,212
TRADES AND THANK YOU ALL FOR 

935
00:34:41,212 --> 00:34:42,313
HAVING US HERE. YOU KNOW, MY 

936
00:34:42,313 --> 00:34:45,550
FIRST -- I STILL REFER TO IT -- 

937
00:34:45,550 --> 00:34:46,951
I WAS CORRECTED DOWNSTAIRS, AS 

938
00:34:46,951 --> 00:34:47,819
THE SCIENCE CENTER BECAUSE THAT 

939
00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:50,455
WAS THE BIG FIELD TRIP WHEN WE 

940
00:34:50,455 --> 00:34:52,857
WERE KIDS RIGHT? FORGIVE ME IF I

941
00:34:52,857 --> 00:34:55,760
INTERJECT THE TWO WORDS FROM THE

942
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,394
SEATTLE TO SCIENCE CENTER. YOU 

943
00:34:56,394 --> 00:34:58,729
KNOW, WHEN WE FIRST WERE TALKING

944
00:34:58,729 --> 00:34:59,697
ABOUT BUILDING THE ARENA, WE HAD

945
00:34:59,697 --> 00:35:01,132
SOME OF THESE PEOPLE AT THE 

946
00:35:01,132 --> 00:35:02,233
TABLE WERE AROUND THAT TABLE 

947
00:35:02,233 --> 00:35:03,534
THERE. WE TALKED ABOUT ALL THE 

948
00:35:03,534 --> 00:35:06,671
THINGS WE'RE GOING TO DO AND WE

949
00:35:06,671 --> 00:35:07,271
TALKED ABOUT THE CENTER. AND 

950
00:35:07,271 --> 00:35:09,841
WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO THERE. 

951
00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:11,175
AND FOR SOME REASON, I THINK IT 

952
00:35:11,175 --> 00:35:13,711
WAS COVID OR SOMETHING, WE GOT 

953
00:35:13,711 --> 00:35:14,479
ALL THE PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND 

954
00:35:14,479 --> 00:35:15,980
WE GOT ALL THIS TO MAKE THE 

955
00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:16,914
ARENA WORLD CLASS AND THEY WERE 

956
00:35:16,914 --> 00:35:19,250
GOING TO UPGRADE THE SPACE 

957
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:21,619
NEEDLE. WE WERE TALKING WITH THE

958
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:24,755
SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT GETTING 

959
00:35:24,755 --> 00:35:25,423
TOGETHER, ABOUT FIXING MEMORIAL 

960
00:35:25,423 --> 00:35:28,626
STADIUM. AND SOMEWHERE IN ALL 

961
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:29,293
THOSE CONVERSATIONS, THE SEATTLE

962
00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:30,928
CENTER JUST KIND OF GOT I THINK 

963
00:35:30,928 --> 00:35:32,797
JUST LEFT OUT OR THE OXYGEN GOT 

964
00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:34,632
SUCKED OUT OF THE ROOM OR 

965
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:37,401
SOMETHING BUT I REMEMBER HAVING 

966
00:35:37,401 --> 00:35:38,236
THESE SAME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT 

967
00:35:38,236 --> 00:35:40,171
FAILURES OF SYSTEMS THERE NINE 

968
00:35:40,171 --> 00:35:42,373
YEARS AGO. SO FOR SOMEBODY THAT 

969
00:35:42,373 --> 00:35:45,276
WORKS AROUND ELECTRICAL AND HVAC

970
00:35:45,276 --> 00:35:47,845
AND STUFF FOR A LIVING, WHEN I 

971
00:35:47,845 --> 00:35:50,047
WORKED AT THE TUNNELS BACK IN 

972
00:35:50,047 --> 00:35:54,418
THE LATE 1990s HERE, I MEAN, WE 

973
00:35:54,418 --> 00:35:58,256
STILL HAD ASBESTOS DOWN THERE 

974
00:35:58,256 --> 00:35:59,223
FOR CRIPES' SAKE. NOW I'M OLD 

975
00:35:59,223 --> 00:36:00,358
AND HVAC IS OLD AND WE NEED TO 

976
00:36:00,358 --> 00:36:02,894
FIX IT. SO I THINK EVERYBODY 

977
00:36:02,894 --> 00:36:03,561
KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. 

978
00:36:03,561 --> 00:36:05,463
WE'VE JUST NOT TAKEN CARE OF 

979
00:36:05,463 --> 00:36:06,664
BUSINESS LONG ENOUGH. I DON'T 

980
00:36:06,664 --> 00:36:07,698
THINK THERE'S ANY FINGERS TO 

981
00:36:07,698 --> 00:36:09,100
POINT HERE. IT'S JUST ONE OF 

982
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,369
THOSE THINGS THAT POP UP THAT 

983
00:36:11,369 --> 00:36:12,203
YOU GO, YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT THE 

984
00:36:12,203 --> 00:36:14,972
COMPLETE THE REST OF THE PUZZLE 

985
00:36:14,972 --> 00:36:15,640
HERE. I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S 

986
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,175
TIME AND LOOK FORWARD AND 

987
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:19,710
GETTING TO WORK AND PUTTING SOME

988
00:36:19,710 --> 00:36:21,979
LOCAL HIRE APPRENTICES TO WORK 

989
00:36:21,979 --> 00:36:25,616
SHEER ON THIS -- HERE ON THIS 

990
00:36:25,616 --> 00:36:26,083
PROJECT. THANK YOU. 

991
00:36:26,083 --> 00:36:26,717
>> COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR GIVING

992
00:36:26,717 --> 00:36:31,556
ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH

993
00:36:31,556 --> 00:36:32,757
YOU TODAY. AGAIN EITEL 

994
00:36:32,757 --> 00:36:36,761
BRAUNSCHWEIG. I THINK THIS CIG 

995
00:36:36,761 --> 00:36:37,595
ANY IF -- SIGNALS AN 

996
00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:38,696
INFORMATIONMENT TO OUR 

997
00:36:38,696 --> 00:36:39,397
CONSTITUENTS AND OUR LANDMARK. 

998
00:36:39,397 --> 00:36:41,566
THERE'S A PRIDE THAT COMES WITH

999
00:36:41,566 --> 00:36:42,934
SEATTLE AND ITS RESIDENTS AND 

1000
00:36:42,934 --> 00:36:47,538
REALLY THIS OPENS UP THE GATEWAY

1001
00:36:47,538 --> 00:36:50,308
TO OPPORTUNITIES. WE'VE HEARD A

1002
00:36:50,308 --> 00:36:50,875
LOT ABOUT LABOR SHORTAGES. 

1003
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:51,576
EVERYONE WANTS TO GO TO WORK AND

1004
00:36:51,576 --> 00:36:53,077
THEY WANT TO EARN A LIVING WAGE 

1005
00:36:53,077 --> 00:36:57,448
AND THERE'S A SHORTAGE IN 

1006
00:36:57,448 --> 00:36:58,049
OPPORTUNITIES. THIS OPENS UP 

1007
00:36:58,049 --> 00:36:59,317
THAT PATHWAY FOR OPPORTUNITIES 

1008
00:36:59,317 --> 00:37:01,085
AND ALSO SIGNALS TO THE REST 

1009
00:37:01,085 --> 00:37:03,054
SEATTLE AND TO WASHINGTON THAT 

1010
00:37:03,054 --> 00:37:04,388
THE CITY IS INVESTING IN 

1011
00:37:04,388 --> 00:37:07,592
ECONOMIC GROWTH. AND WE WILL SEE

1012
00:37:07,592 --> 00:37:09,594
THAT FLOURISH FROM THIS. SO YOU 

1013
00:37:09,594 --> 00:37:12,163
KNOW, WANT TO SEE THIS 

1014
00:37:12,163 --> 00:37:13,531
INVESTMENT CARRIED THROUGH AND 

1015
00:37:13,531 --> 00:37:18,636
TO NOT KICK THE CAN FURTHER DOWN

1016
00:37:18,636 --> 00:37:20,204
THE ROAD. YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE 

1017
00:37:20,204 --> 00:37:22,773
GRADE IS MEDIOCRE. WE HAVE TO 

1018
00:37:22,773 --> 00:37:24,175
ACT AND DO SOMETHING NOW. WHAT 

1019
00:37:24,175 --> 00:37:25,242
WE BUILD AS A PORTFOLIO AND HOW 

1020
00:37:25,242 --> 00:37:27,011
WE BUILD IT IS A LEGACY. I THINK

1021
00:37:27,011 --> 00:37:28,479
IT'S TIME FOR THE COUNCIL TO 

1022
00:37:28,479 --> 00:37:31,182
TAKE THE STEPS TO SET THE 

1023
00:37:31,182 --> 00:37:31,782
FOUNDATION FOR THAT LEGACY. 

1024
00:37:31,782 --> 00:37:33,284
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 

1025
00:37:33,284 --> 00:37:37,488
AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THIS 

1026
00:37:37,488 --> 00:37:37,722
HAPPEN. 

1027
00:37:37,722 --> 00:37:43,995
>> MR. CHAIR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO 

1028
00:37:43,995 --> 00:37:46,931
KEEP THE LABOR OF LOVE GOING AND

1029
00:37:46,931 --> 00:37:47,832
HAVE JENNIFER GO NEXT? 

1030
00:37:47,832 --> 00:37:48,232
>> TERRIFIC IDEA. 

1031
00:37:48,232 --> 00:37:49,800
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH COUNCIL FOR

1032
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,868
INVITING ME TO ATTEND TODAY. 

1033
00:37:50,868 --> 00:37:53,204
I'M SORRY I WAS NOT ABLE TO BE 

1034
00:37:53,204 --> 00:37:56,607
THERE IN-PERSON. I WANT TO SAY 

1035
00:37:56,607 --> 00:37:58,809
YOU KNOW, STAGE TECHNICIAN ARE 

1036
00:37:58,809 --> 00:37:59,310
EXTREMELY CREATIVE AND 

1037
00:37:59,310 --> 00:38:00,444
INNOVATIVE PEOPLE. YOU GIVE THEM

1038
00:38:00,444 --> 00:38:02,680
SOME ZIP TIES AND SOME DUCT TAPE

1039
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,715
AND THEY WILL MAKE A THING 

1040
00:38:04,715 --> 00:38:06,584
HAPPEN. AND THAT'S WHAT THEY 

1041
00:38:06,584 --> 00:38:10,888
REALLY HAVE BEEN DOING OVER THE 

1042
00:38:10,888 --> 00:38:11,622
LAST FEW DECADES. SO WHEN 

1043
00:38:11,622 --> 00:38:12,189
INVESTMENTS LIKE THIS WILL 

1044
00:38:12,189 --> 00:38:15,593
REALLY GIVE THEM THE TOOLS AND 

1045
00:38:15,593 --> 00:38:16,661
THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE THE 

1046
00:38:16,661 --> 00:38:18,829
MAGIC THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF 

1047
00:38:18,829 --> 00:38:19,964
DOING. RATHER THAN JUST TRYING 

1048
00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:22,566
TO GET BY AND MAKE THINGS WORK. 

1049
00:38:22,566 --> 00:38:25,136
THE SHOW WILL GO ON. STAGE HANDS

1050
00:38:25,136 --> 00:38:27,104
WILL MAKE SURE THAT THAT 

1051
00:38:27,104 --> 00:38:28,205
HAPPENS. BUT IT WON'T 

1052
00:38:28,205 --> 00:38:28,806
NECESSARILY BE THE EXPERIENCE 

1053
00:38:28,806 --> 00:38:31,509
THAT IT COULD BE AND FRANKLY, 

1054
00:38:31,509 --> 00:38:34,945
OUR CITY DESERVES TO HAVE THE 

1055
00:38:34,945 --> 00:38:35,846
TOOLS AND THOSE EXPERIENCES. WE 

1056
00:38:35,846 --> 00:38:38,182
ARE A WORLD CLASS CITY. WE NEED 

1057
00:38:38,182 --> 00:38:39,550
TO PUT THAT FACE FORWARD. THE 

1058
00:38:39,550 --> 00:38:44,088
SEATTLE CENTER IS THAT CENTER 

1059
00:38:44,088 --> 00:38:54,632
THAT PEOPLE COME TO SEE. AND I 

1060
00:38:57,335 --> 00:38:59,704
THINK WE SHOULD MAKE THAT 

1061
00:38:59,704 --> 00:39:00,004
INVESTMENT. 

1062
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:01,305
>> THOUSAND GRATEFUL WE ARE TO 

1063
00:39:01,305 --> 00:39:04,008
BE NAZIIC MOMENT. ONE OF THE 

1064
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:05,710
PREDECESSORS USED TO SAY SHE 

1065
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:06,744
KNEW A MEETING WAS IMPORTANT TO 

1066
00:39:06,744 --> 00:39:08,145
SOMEONE WHEN THEY SHOWED UP IN 

1067
00:39:08,145 --> 00:39:09,280
HER OFFICE WEARING A TIE. ON A 

1068
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,782
HOT SEATTLE DAY I SHOWED UP

COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. YOU AS

1072
00:39:16,687 --> 00:39:19,156
HASN'T BEEN WITHOUT A TIE IN 

1073
00:39:19,156 --> 00:39:22,760
THE 80 DAYS HE'S BEEN ON THE 

1074
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,628
JOB. WE THE FOUNDATION SITS AS 

1075
00:39:24,628 --> 00:39:25,896
THE NONPROFIT PARTNER FOR THE 

1076
00:39:25,896 --> 00:39:26,497
PUBLIC SECTOR AGENCY THAT IS 

1077
00:39:26,497 --> 00:39:30,468
SEATTLE CENTER. FOR THE LAST 50 

1078
00:39:30,468 --> 00:39:31,969
YEARS, WE'VE BEEN RESPONSIBLE 

1079
00:39:31,969 --> 00:39:33,337
FOR BRINGING RESOURCES TO 

1080
00:39:33,337 --> 00:39:34,071
SEATTLE CENTER, BRINGING 

1081
00:39:34,071 --> 00:39:36,173
ATTENTION TO SEATTLE CENTER, 

1082
00:39:36,173 --> 00:39:38,008
TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO FUND FREE

1083
00:39:38,008 --> 00:39:38,876
PROGRAMMING THAT WOULD HAPPEN AT

1084
00:39:38,876 --> 00:39:40,778
SEATTLE CENTER AND STEWARDING IT

1085
00:39:40,778 --> 00:39:42,847
FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. WE ARE 

1086
00:39:42,847 --> 00:39:46,417
THE -- AS RANDY SAID, SO WELL, 

1087
00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:48,185
THE CULTURAL GATHERING SPACE. 

1088
00:39:48,185 --> 00:39:49,520

1238
00:44:57,928 --> 00:45:00,664
THE ECONOMY BOTTOMED OUT AFTER

INDUSTRY PAID FOR. THE PRIVATE 

1250
00:45:30,127 --> 00:45:34,198
SECTOR. AND WHEN ONE WORKER 

1251
00:45:34,198 --> 00:45:37,534
LEAVES LIKE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW, 

1252
00:45:37,534 --> 00:45:41,572
BY THE HUNDREDS, TO GO SOMEWHERE

1253
00:45:41,572 --> 00:45:44,041
LIKE BOISE OR TEXAS WHERE THE 

1254
00:45:44,041 --> 00:45:45,175

1255
00:45:45,175 --> 00:45:50,681

THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S GOING TO 

1261
00:46:00,324 --> 00:46:05,129
BE IN FIVE YEARS. WE CANNOT LOSE

1262
00:46:05,129 --> 00:46:07,197
OUR CONSTRUCTION WORK FORCE NOW.

1263
00:46:07,197 --> 00:46:07,998
PROJECTS LIKE A REVITALIZED 

1264
00:46:07,998 --> 00:46:11,735
SEATTLE CENTER CAN BE THE BRIDGE

1265
00:46:11,735 --> 00:46:15,806
UNTIL THE NEXT WAVE OF 

1266
00:46:15,806 --> 00:46:16,373
CONSTRUCTION HITS SEATTLE. 

1267
00:46:16,373 --> 00:46:17,741
>> THANK YOU NICOLE. THAT'S -- 

1268
00:46:17,741 --> 00:46:18,342
YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE FORGET 

1269
00:46:18,342 --> 00:46:20,043
WHAT IT WAS LIKE HERE A FEW 

1270
00:46:20,043 --> 00:46:26,383
YEARS AGO. I WAS GOING THROUGH 

1271
00:46:26,383 --> 00:46:32,289
SOME OF OUR NUMBERS. ONE YEAR WE

1272
00:46:32,289 --> 00:46:34,892
CLOCKED ABOUT 20,000 HOURS -- I 

1273
00:46:34,892 --> 00:46:37,661
MEAN, 800,000 HOURS A WEEK HERE 

1274
00:46:37,661 --> 00:46:39,730
IN SEATTLE. THAT WAS $52 MILLION

1275
00:46:39,730 --> 00:46:42,065
A WEEK IN WAGES AND BENEFITS AND

1276
00:46:42,065 --> 00:46:43,767
THAT -- WAGES ALONE. I PUT -- WE

1277
00:46:43,767 --> 00:46:49,940
PUT IT AT A MEDIUM. THAT YEAR, 

1278
00:46:49,940 --> 00:46:50,841
THE CITY CRANKED OUT $2.7 

1279
00:46:50,841 --> 00:46:52,576
BILLION IN WAGES FOR PEOPLE TO 

1280
00:46:52,576 --> 00:46:53,343
PUT THAT MONEY IN THEIR POCKET 

1281
00:46:53,343 --> 00:46:58,315
AND GO SPENDS IN THE ECONOMY. WE

1282
00:46:58,315 --> 00:46:59,116
TALK ABOUT CONSTRUCTION WAGES, 

1283
00:46:59,116 --> 00:47:04,288
WE TALK ABOUT -- NO MYSTERY. 

1284
00:47:04,288 --> 00:47:06,390
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ARE NOT 

1285
00:47:06,390 --> 00:47:10,827
SENDING THEIR MONEY OFFSHORE. 

1286
00:47:10,827 --> 00:47:11,995
THESE CONSTRUCTION JOBS ARE 

1287
00:47:11,995 --> 00:47:13,130
REALLY TAX BASE FOR THE CITY AND

1288
00:47:13,130 --> 00:47:15,098
AN ECONOMIC BOOST FOR THE CITY. 

1289
00:47:15,098 --> 00:47:16,333
IT'S REALLY JUST AN INVESTMENT 

1290
00:47:16,333 --> 00:47:16,934
IN YOURSELF. ROB WAS TALKING 

1291
00:47:16,934 --> 00:47:18,802
HERE AND HE HAS IT ABSOLUTELY 

1292
00:47:18,802 --> 00:47:19,903
RIGHT. THERE'S AN ECOSYSTEM 

1293
00:47:19,903 --> 00:47:20,904
HERE WE'RE LOOKING TO FIND YOU 

1294
00:47:20,904 --> 00:47:22,906
KNOW. WE CANNOT PUT ALL THE 

1295
00:47:22,906 --> 00:47:24,708
BURDEN ON SEATTLE OR KING COUNTY

1296
00:47:24,708 --> 00:47:26,543
OR HOPE THAT SOME BILLIONAIRE IS

1297
00:47:26,543 --> 00:47:27,177
GOING TO BUILD SOME PROJECT. 

1298
00:47:27,177 --> 00:47:29,146
IT'S AN ECOSYSTEM THAT WE'RE 

1299
00:47:29,146 --> 00:47:31,415
OPEN FOR BUSINESS. AND I THINK 

1300
00:47:31,415 --> 00:47:32,082
THIS REALLY SHOWS EVERYBODY THAT

1301
00:47:32,082 --> 00:47:33,417
WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS. AND 

1302
00:47:33,417 --> 00:47:34,851
WE'RE OPEN FOR MORE PRIVATE 

1303
00:47:34,851 --> 00:47:37,621
INVESTMENT HERE AT THE CITY. SO 

1304
00:47:37,621 --> 00:47:39,556
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A 

1305
00:47:39,556 --> 00:47:40,958
BROAD PICTURE HERE, SAT SYSTEM 

1306
00:47:40,958 --> 00:47:44,428
OPEN FOR BUSINESS, YEAH. THEY'RE

1307
00:47:44,428 --> 00:47:45,562
NOT BUILDING ANY COVID CHANGE 

1308
00:47:45,562 --> 00:47:46,263
TUNE AROUND OFFICER BUILDINGS 

1309
00:47:46,263 --> 00:47:48,098
AND WE GET THAT. BUT WE ARE 

1310
00:47:48,098 --> 00:47:49,233
STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND 

1311
00:47:49,233 --> 00:47:49,967
WE'RE STILL A LOT OF THINGS WE 

1312
00:47:49,967 --> 00:47:51,268
CAN BUILD AND MAINTAIN HERE IN 

1313
00:47:51,268 --> 00:47:56,773
THE CITY. SO THANK YOU FOR 

1314
00:47:56,773 --> 00:47:57,241
ASKING THAT, ALEXIS. 

1315
00:47:57,241 --> 00:47:59,710
>> WANT TO ECHO WHAT MY ESTEEMED

1316
00:47:59,710 --> 00:48:00,677
PANELIST PARTNERS SAID. THEY DID

1317
00:48:00,677 --> 00:48:04,448
A GREAT JOB. AND REALLY WANT TO 

1318
00:48:04,448 --> 00:48:05,816
POINT OUT WHAT ROB MENTIONED 

1319
00:48:05,816 --> 00:48:08,385
EARLIER IS IT'S A SIGNAL IF 

1320
00:48:08,385 --> 00:48:12,456
PUBLIC IS MAKING THE INVESTMENT 

1321
00:48:12,456 --> 00:48:13,423
INTO THE INFRASTRUCTURE. PRIVATE

1322
00:48:13,423 --> 00:48:18,028
WILL FOLLOW. FOR THE LAST 12, 14

1323
00:48:18,028 --> 00:48:18,662
YEARS SEATTLE HEAVILY DEPENDED 

1324
00:48:18,662 --> 00:48:19,696
ON THAT PRIVATE INVESTMENT. IN A

1325
00:48:19,696 --> 00:48:21,965
BOOM TOWN WE HAD 60 PLUS TOWER 

1326
00:48:21,965 --> 00:48:24,468
CRANES. A MAJORITY OF THAT WAS 

1327
00:48:24,468 --> 00:48:25,902
PRIVATE INVESTMENT. DOING THIS 

1328
00:48:25,902 --> 00:48:26,470
WILL SIGNAL BACK TO PRIVATE 

1329
00:48:26,470 --> 00:48:28,205
INVESTMENT THAT IT'S TIME TO 

1330
00:48:28,205 --> 00:48:28,905
BUILD, IT'S TIME TO REINVEST 

1331
00:48:28,905 --> 00:48:29,573
AND BUILD AROUND SOUTH LAKE 

1332
00:48:29,573 --> 00:48:32,342
UNION TO BUILD AROUND THE 

1333
00:48:32,342 --> 00:48:34,611
SEATTLE CENTER. WHEN YOU KNOW, 

1334
00:48:34,611 --> 00:48:35,946
YOU LOOK AT THE UNEMPLOYMENT 

1335
00:48:35,946 --> 00:48:37,714
RATES FOR CONSTRUCTION IN 

1336
00:48:37,714 --> 00:48:39,049
WASHINGTON STATE AND THEY'RE 

1337
00:48:39,049 --> 00:48:40,651
ABOVE 10%, THERE IS AN ISSUE. 

1338
00:48:40,651 --> 00:48:41,785
PERMITTING BEING SLOW, BUT YOU 

1339
00:48:41,785 --> 00:48:42,653
LOOK AT THE SIGNALS THAT THE 

1340
00:48:42,653 --> 00:48:45,789
CITY HAS DONE AND THE STATE. WE 

1341
00:48:45,789 --> 00:48:46,523
HAVE BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB AND 

1342
00:48:46,523 --> 00:48:48,759
WE BUILT TWICE AS MANY 

1343
00:48:48,759 --> 00:48:50,661
RESIDENTIAL UNITS AS ANY OF THE 

1344
00:48:50,661 --> 00:48:51,328
NEIGHBORING STATES. IT'S JUST 

1345
00:48:51,328 --> 00:48:54,164
CERTAIN POINTS THAT WE NEED TO 

1346
00:48:54,164 --> 00:48:55,299
MAKE THE INVESTMENT INTO. TO 

1347
00:48:55,299 --> 00:48:55,832
KEEP BUSINESS BOOMING AND 

1348
00:48:55,832 --> 00:48:59,536
GROWING. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT

1349
00:48:59,536 --> 00:49:01,805
OPPORTUNITY AS CHAIR SAKA HAD 

1350
00:49:01,805 --> 00:49:03,774
MENTIONED TO SIGNAL TO THE NBA 

1351
00:49:03,774 --> 00:49:06,176
FOR THE EXPANSION. AND TO 

1352
00:49:06,176 --> 00:49:07,344
CONTINUE THAT PATHWAY FORWARD. 

1353
00:49:07,344 --> 00:49:10,814
SO ON THE LABOR SIDE? FOR US, WE

1354
00:49:10,814 --> 00:49:13,016
HAVE BEEN DOING QUITE WELL AS 

1355
00:49:13,016 --> 00:49:15,752
THE CARPENTERS, WE DO AROUND 26 

1356
00:49:15,752 --> 00:49:17,220
MILLION HOURS IN WASHINGTON 

1357
00:49:17,220 --> 00:49:20,357
STATE. OUR OUT OF WORK LIST IS 

1358
00:49:20,357 --> 00:49:22,526
NOT VERY DEEP. WE COVER 12 

1359
00:49:22,526 --> 00:49:23,527
DIFFERENT CRAFTS. SO FOR US, 

1360
00:49:23,527 --> 00:49:26,663
THIS WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO 

1361
00:49:26,663 --> 00:49:27,564
UPLIFT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE 

1362
00:49:27,564 --> 00:49:30,600
LOOKING TO GET INTO 

1363
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,569
CONSTRUCTION. WHICH WE LOOK 

1364
00:49:32,569 --> 00:49:33,236
FORWARD TO. 

1365
00:49:33,236 --> 00:49:34,071
>> EXCELLENT. MISS JENNIFER 

1366
00:49:34,071 --> 00:49:35,972
BACON, I THINK YOU ARE LAST FROM

1367
00:49:35,972 --> 00:49:37,941
THE LABOR PARTNERS TO CHIME ON 

1368
00:49:37,941 --> 00:49:38,108
IN. 

1369
00:49:38,108 --> 00:49:39,643
>> YES. SO YOU KNOW, STAGE HANDS

1370
00:49:39,643 --> 00:49:41,011
DON'T DO A LOT IN CONSTRUCTION 

1371
00:49:41,011 --> 00:49:43,947
ALTHOUGH WE DO DO SOME. YOU 

1372
00:49:43,947 --> 00:49:47,084
WOULD BE SURPRISED. THERE ARE 

1373
00:49:47,084 --> 00:49:47,684
THESE RIGORS THAT INSTALLED A 

1374
00:49:47,684 --> 00:49:50,987
NUMBER OF THINGS IN THE CLIMATE 

1375
00:49:50,987 --> 00:49:54,624
PLEDGE ARENA. OUR WORK IS 

1376
00:49:54,624 --> 00:49:55,892
SEASONAL AND DEPENDENT ON A GOOD

1377
00:49:55,892 --> 00:49:57,661
ECONOMY. SO INVESTING IN A PLACE

1378
00:49:57,661 --> 00:49:58,929
THAT'S GOING TO UP LIFT THE 

1379
00:49:58,929 --> 00:50:00,831
ECONOMY IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR 

1380
00:50:00,831 --> 00:50:04,501
US LONG-TERM. WE SAW THAT WITH 

1381
00:50:04,501 --> 00:50:05,168
CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA. THERE WAS 

1382
00:50:05,168 --> 00:50:08,005
DEFINITELY A DOWN TIME DURING 

1383
00:50:08,005 --> 00:50:08,638
THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION. BUT 

1384
00:50:08,638 --> 00:50:12,542
THE JOBS THAT HAVE COME BACK TO 

1385
00:50:12,542 --> 00:50:14,244
US AFTER THAT CONSTRUCTION IS 

1386
00:50:14,244 --> 00:50:15,379

1387
00:50:15,379 --> 00:50:18,682
A PLACE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO GO 

1388
00:50:18,682 --> 00:50:20,884
TO WORK. WE SEE, YOU KNOW, THE 

1389
00:50:20,884 --> 00:50:22,452
CONCERTS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH

1390
00:50:22,452 --> 00:50:26,823
THERE. AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE 

1391
00:50:26,823 --> 00:50:29,393

00:50:30,894 --> 00:50:33,563
OUR TECHNICIANS IN THE CITY. WE 

1394
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,399
HAVE ON OUR HIRING HALL LIST AS 

1395
00:50:35,399 --> 00:50:36,533

WORK THROUGH OUR HIRING HALL. 

1398
00:50:40,904 --> 00:50:42,406
AND WE NEED THE VENUES WE NEED 

1399
00:50:42,406 --> 00:50:46,143
THE PLACES TO BE ABLE TO PUT ON 

1400
00:50:46,143 --> 00:50:47,878

THOSE RESPONSES AND I DON'T ASK

1405
00:50:54,050 --> 00:50:55,652
THAT QUESTION TO BE DOWNER BY 

1406
00:50:55,652 --> 00:50:57,087
ANY MEANS BUT RATHER TO PLACE US

1407
00:50:57,087 --> 00:51:02,092
IN OUR CONTEXT THAT WE ARE IN 

1408
00:51:02,092 --> 00:51:03,527
RIGHT NOW. AND TO SAY THIS -- 

1409
00:51:03,527 --> 00:51:05,328
THIS WOULD MEAN A LOT TO OUR 

1410
00:51:05,328 --> 00:51:06,730
COMMUNITY. IT WOULD MEAN GETTING

1411
00:51:06,730 --> 00:51:07,697
FOLKS TO WORK WHILE ALSO TENDING

1412
00:51:07,697 --> 00:51:10,600
TO REALLY THE HEART OF OUR CITY 

1413
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:11,768
AND SO THANK YOU ALL FOR THOSE 

1414
00:51:11,768 --> 00:51:12,969
RESPONSES AND KIND OF BRIDGING

00:51:12,969 --> 00:51:14,337
INTO JUST ONE OTHER QUESTION I 

1416
00:51:14,337 --> 00:51:17,307
HAVE FOR TODAY, CHAIR IF I MAY. 

1417
00:51:17,307 --> 00:51:20,243
WE SPOKE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE 

1418
00:51:20,243 --> 00:51:21,945
DECARBONIZATION EFFORTS WHICH IS

1419
00:51:21,945 --> 00:51:22,579
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AND VERY 

1420
00:51:22,579 --> 00:51:23,914
EXCITING AND I'M WONDERING 

1421
00:51:23,914 --> 00:51:25,515
RIGHT NOW IN TERMS OF SEATTLE 

1422
00:51:25,515 --> 00:51:27,584

1423
00:51:27,584 --> 00:51:28,585
FOUNDATION SIDE OR ALSO WITHIN 

1424
00:51:28,585 --> 00:51:31,154
SEATTLE CENTER CITYSIDE, HOW WE 

1425
00:51:31,154 --> 00:51:37,761
MIGHT BE THINKING ABOUT 

1426
00:51:37,761 --> 00:51:38,361
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR 

1427
00:51:38,361 --> 00:51:40,697
FURTHER CLIMATE RESILIENCE 

1428
00:51:40,697 --> 00:51:40,964
MEASURES. 

1429
00:51:40,964 --> 00:51:42,766
>> I ALWAYS DEFER TO OUR PUBLIC 

1430
00:51:42,766 --> 00:51:43,266
SECTOR PARTNERS FIRST. 

1431
00:51:43,266 --> 00:51:45,101
>> WELL, IT WAS MENTIONED 

1432
00:51:45,101 --> 00:51:49,139
EARLIER THAT ROB BROUGHT UP THE 

1433
00:51:49,139 --> 00:51:49,739
COOLING SHELTERS, THE HEATING 

1434
00:51:49,739 --> 00:51:51,141
SHELTERS. WE -- WE ARE I BELIEVE

1435
00:51:51,141 --> 00:51:53,677
A VERY WELCOMING PLACE FOR OUR 

1436
00:51:53,677 --> 00:51:54,311
ENTIRE COMMUNITY INCLUDING OUR 

1437
00:51:54,311 --> 00:51:55,412
MOST VULNERABLE. AND IF YOU COME

1438
00:51:55,412 --> 00:51:56,813
TO THE ARMORY ANY DAY, I'D BE 

1439
00:51:56,813 --> 00:51:59,549
GLAD TO SHOW YOU HOW AND WHY. I 

1440
00:51:59,549 --> 00:52:00,851
THINK THE CHALLENGE AS WAS 

1441
00:52:00,851 --> 00:52:02,652
STATED IS THAT HEATING AND 

1442
00:52:02,652 --> 00:52:04,488
COOLING SHELTER ONLY WORKS IF 

1443
00:52:04,488 --> 00:52:07,324
THE HVAC SYSTEM WORKS AND IF THE

1444
00:52:07,324 --> 00:52:09,192
SYSTEM WAS BUILT IN 1962 AND 

1445
00:52:09,192 --> 00:52:09,793
IT'S STEAM POWERED IT'S 

1446
00:52:09,793 --> 00:52:10,827
VULNERABLE AND I THINK YOU KNOW,

1447
00:52:10,827 --> 00:52:13,163
THERE'S A LOT WE CAN DO IN THE 

1448
00:52:13,163 --> 00:52:13,864
ARMORY RENOVATION AND THERE'S A

1449
00:52:13,864 --> 00:52:17,801
LOT WE CAN DO WITH THE 

1450
00:52:17,801 --> 00:52:20,837
RENOVATION OF EACH INDIVIDUAL 

1451
00:52:20,837 --> 00:52:21,471
BUILDING. MECHANICAL HAUL AND 

1452
00:52:21,471 --> 00:52:22,839
CORNISH PLAY HOUSE AND 

1453
00:52:22,839 --> 00:52:26,710
CHILDREN'S THEATER AND 

1454
00:52:26,710 --> 00:52:27,844
NORTHWEST ROOMS HOME TO KEXP. 

1455
00:52:27,844 --> 00:52:29,279
VERA PROJECT, THERE'S A LOT OF 

1456
00:52:29,279 --> 00:52:30,614
BUILDING ON CAMPUS WHILE SOME 

1457
00:52:30,614 --> 00:52:31,581
HAVE BEEN RENOVATED IN BETTER 

1458
00:52:31,581 --> 00:52:33,049
SHAPE IN PARTICULAR THE VERA 

1459
00:52:33,049 --> 00:52:34,451
PROJECT. THEY DID A GREAT JOB ON

1460
00:52:34,451 --> 00:52:35,385
THAT CAMPAIGN BUT THERE'S A 

1461
00:52:35,385 --> 00:52:37,420
LONG WAY TO GO. WE'RE A LONG 

1462
00:52:37,420 --> 00:52:42,993
WAY FROM BEING RESILIENT IN THE 

1463
00:52:42,993 --> 00:52:43,994
WAY THAT NICOLE DESCRIBED. AND 

1464
00:52:43,994 --> 00:52:45,395
WE'RE ANXIOUS TO MODEL THE 

1465
00:52:45,395 --> 00:52:46,930
BEHAVIOR THAT WE THINK ALOINS 

1466
00:52:46,930 --> 00:52:52,135
WITH OUR VALUES AND THE CITY'S 

1467
00:52:52,135 --> 00:52:52,369
VALUES. 

1468
00:52:52,369 --> 00:53:00,410
>> NICOLE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO 

1469
00:53:00,410 --> 00:53:00,610
NEXT? 

1470
00:53:00,610 --> 00:53:05,382
>> YEAH. WELL, EVERYTHING RANDY 

1471
00:53:05,382 --> 00:53:09,519
SAID. AND SEATTLE IS -- AN 

1472
00:53:09,519 --> 00:53:12,389
INNOVATIVE PLACE. AND I THINK WE

1473
00:53:12,389 --> 00:53:16,293
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THAT COULD 

1474
00:53:16,293 --> 00:53:17,627
ITERATE AND BUILD. BECAUSE WHEN 

1475
00:53:17,627 --> 00:53:19,829
WE DO THE RESILIENCE HUBS AT THE

1476
00:53:19,829 --> 00:53:22,866
ARMORY, AND AT OTHER FACILITIES 

1477
00:53:22,866 --> 00:53:25,202
AT THE SEATTLE CENTER, IT'S 

1478
00:53:25,202 --> 00:53:27,504
ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTRACT 

1479
00:53:27,504 --> 00:53:29,206
INTEREST FROM THE STATE OF 

1480
00:53:29,206 --> 00:53:32,275
WASHINGTON, FROM THE PRIVATE 

1481
00:53:32,275 --> 00:53:35,612
SECTOR, TO SEE IF WE CAN ALSO DO

1482
00:53:35,612 --> 00:53:37,514
SOLAR ON THE BUILDINGS. IF WE 

1483
00:53:37,514 --> 00:53:40,417
CAN ALSO DO A MICROGRID. AND 

1484
00:53:40,417 --> 00:53:45,522
HAVE A LEVEL OF RESILIENCE THAT 

1485
00:53:45,522 --> 00:53:48,258
BUILDS UPON MAKING THE CHANGES 

1486
00:53:48,258 --> 00:53:51,094
TO THE HEATING AND COOLING 

1487
00:53:51,094 --> 00:53:53,296
SYSTEM. AND I THINK THAT JUST 

1488
00:53:53,296 --> 00:53:55,031
LIKE IT HAPPENED WITH CLIMATE 

1489
00:53:55,031 --> 00:53:57,133
PLEDGE ARENA WHERE THE CITY TOOK

1490
00:53:57,133 --> 00:53:59,669
A BIG STEP, MADE A BIG 

1491
00:53:59,669 --> 00:54:02,205
COMMITMENT, AND THE PRIVATE 

1492
00:54:02,205 --> 00:54:04,407
SECTOR ROSE TO THE OCCASION, WE 

1493
00:54:04,407 --> 00:54:08,144
COULD DO THAT AGAIN WITH CLIMATE

1494
00:54:08,144 --> 00:54:09,913
INNOVATION. AND IT COULD BE A 

1495
00:54:09,913 --> 00:54:12,616
MODEL TO THE CITY AND TO THE 

1496
00:54:12,616 --> 00:54:17,387
REGION AND TO THE WORLD ABOUT 

1497
00:54:17,387 --> 00:54:18,722
HOW A WORLD CLASS FACILITY 

1498
00:54:18,722 --> 00:54:20,457
OPERATES IN YOU KNOW, CLIMATE 

1499
00:54:20,457 --> 00:54:22,392
THREATENED ERA. 

1500
00:54:22,392 --> 00:54:25,095
>> JUST A COUPLE OF BRIEF 

1501
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:26,396
THOUGHTS COUNCILMEMBER. AS THE 

1502
00:54:26,396 --> 00:54:28,098
GUY WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF 

1503
00:54:28,098 --> 00:54:29,199
SUSTAINABILITY AT CLIMATE PLEDGE

1504
00:54:29,199 --> 00:54:31,001
ARENA, I WANT TO JUST TELL ONE 

1505
00:54:31,001 --> 00:54:32,569
QUICK STORY AND THEN USE THAT AS

1506
00:54:32,569 --> 00:54:36,006
A FRAMEWORK FOR I THINK THE 

1507
00:54:36,006 --> 00:54:36,906
FUTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY AT 

1508
00:54:36,906 --> 00:54:38,708
SEATTLE CENTER. WE WERE UNDER 

1509
00:54:38,708 --> 00:54:39,509
CONSTRUCTION OF THAT ARENA. WE 

1510
00:54:39,509 --> 00:54:41,845
HAD BUILT WHAT WE WERE CALLING 

1511
00:54:41,845 --> 00:54:43,980
THE WEDDING TENT BECAUSE THE 44 

1512
00:54:43,980 --> 00:54:45,248
MILLION-POUND ROOF WAS FLOATING 

1513
00:54:45,248 --> 00:54:46,716
ON 75 TEMPORARY STEEL COLUMNS WE

1514
00:54:46,716 --> 00:54:50,720
JUST POURED THE FOUNDATION. WHEN

1515
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:51,454
GOVERNOR INSLEE SENT 

1516
00:54:51,454 --> 00:54:52,489
WASHINGTONIANS HOME IN THE 

1517
00:54:52,489 --> 00:54:55,392
NATION'S FIRST DAY AT HOME, 

1518
00:54:55,392 --> 00:54:59,429
COVID REQUIREMENT. WE HAD OUR 

1519
00:54:59,429 --> 00:55:00,630
FIRST OWNERSHIP CALL ON ZOOM 

1520
00:55:00,630 --> 00:55:03,199
THAT FRIDAY. AND ONE OF OUR 

1521
00:55:03,199 --> 00:55:04,467
OWNERS RAISED HIS DIGITAL HAND 

1522
00:55:04,467 --> 00:55:06,436
AND SAID WHAT IF THIS IS MOTHER 

1523
00:55:06,436 --> 00:55:07,304
NATURE'S WAY OF FIGHTING BACK? 

1524
00:55:07,304 --> 00:55:09,506
DURING THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 

1525
00:55:09,506 --> 00:55:13,076
TEN WEEKS, THE CONSTRUCTION 

1526
00:55:13,076 --> 00:55:14,077
TEAM, THE ENGINEERING TEAM, 

1527
00:55:14,077 --> 00:55:18,248
MYSELF, A COHORT OF OTHER 

1528
00:55:18,248 --> 00:55:19,249
OWNERS' REPRESENTATIVES 

1529
00:55:19,249 --> 00:55:20,450
REDESIGNED AND REPERMITTED THAT 

1530
00:55:20,450 --> 00:55:21,985
ENTIRE FACILITY TO ELIMINATE ALL

1531
00:55:21,985 --> 00:55:24,387
FOSSIL FUELS FROM THE BUILDING. 

1532
00:55:24,387 --> 00:55:25,822
AND DECARBONIZE 100% OF THE 

1533
00:55:25,822 --> 00:55:28,091
SCOPE ONE EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED 

1534
00:55:28,091 --> 00:55:29,693
WITH THE FACILITY. AND I USE 

1535
00:55:29,693 --> 00:55:31,394
THAT AS AN ANECDOTE BECAUSE THAT

1536
00:55:31,394 --> 00:55:32,028
WAS A CRITICALLY IMPORTANT 

1537
00:55:32,028 --> 00:55:35,165
MOMENT AND THERE'S A CHANCE FOR

1538
00:55:35,165 --> 00:55:38,134
US TO TAKE THE LEADERSHIP OF 

1539
00:55:38,134 --> 00:55:40,003
CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA AND 

1540
00:55:40,003 --> 00:55:40,870
TRANSITION THAT OVER TO, THIS IS

1541
00:55:40,870 --> 00:55:45,542
THE HEAVENS TELLING US THIS IS A

1542
00:55:45,542 --> 00:55:47,310
GOOD IDEA. WE CAN TRANSITION 

1543
00:55:47,310 --> 00:55:48,278
THAT LEADERSHIP FROM THE PRIVATE

1544
00:55:48,278 --> 00:55:52,549
SECTOR OVER TO THE PUBLIC 

1545
00:55:52,549 --> 00:55:53,717
SECTOR. AND DECARBONIZATION OF 

1546
00:55:53,717 --> 00:55:57,020
16% OF CITY OWNED FACILITIES IS 

1547
00:55:57,020 --> 00:55:58,755
IMPORTANT. AT THE TIME, CPA 

1548
00:55:58,755 --> 00:56:00,156
DECARBONIZED CITY OWNED 

1549
00:56:00,156 --> 00:56:02,392
FACILITIES BY 5%. SO 

1550
00:56:02,392 --> 00:56:03,526
COLLECTIVELY, THOSE TWO ACTIONS 

1551
00:56:03,526 --> 00:56:05,328
WOULD REDUCE THE CARBON 

1552
00:56:05,328 --> 00:56:06,129
FOOTPRINT OF CITY OWNED 

1553
00:56:06,129 --> 00:56:07,931
FACILITIES BY GREATER THAN 20% 

1554
00:56:07,931 --> 00:56:09,165
BUT ON TOP OF THAT WE'VE GOT AN

1555
00:56:09,165 --> 00:56:11,201
OPPORTUNITY HERE WITH THE WAY WE

1556
00:56:11,201 --> 00:56:13,403
THINK ABOUT THE OPERATIONS OF 

1557
00:56:13,403 --> 00:56:14,904
THE FACILITY. SO SCOPE ONE IS 

1558
00:56:14,904 --> 00:56:16,539
IMPORTANT. SCOPE TWO AND SCOPE 

1559
00:56:16,539 --> 00:56:17,140
THREE ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT. 

1560
00:56:17,140 --> 00:56:20,643
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE LIFE 

1561
00:56:20,643 --> 00:56:22,045
CYCLE OF A BUILDING LIKE CLIMATE

1562
00:56:22,045 --> 00:56:22,645
PLEDGE ARENA, THE NUMBER OF 

1563
00:56:22,645 --> 00:56:25,115
PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE 

1564
00:56:25,115 --> 00:56:26,683
SCOPE THREE EMISSIONS OF 

1565
00:56:26,683 --> 00:56:27,484
ATTENDANCE AND OF THINGS THAT 

1566
00:56:27,484 --> 00:56:28,752
HAPPEN IN THAT EVENT ARE MORE 

1567
00:56:28,752 --> 00:56:30,754
SIGNIFICANT ON A YEAR OVER YEAR 

1568
00:56:30,754 --> 00:56:32,389
BASIS THAN THE DECARBONIZATION 

1569
00:56:32,389 --> 00:56:33,022
EFFORTS FROM SCOPE ONE. SO THE 

1570
00:56:33,022 --> 00:56:35,391
MORE WE CAN DO TO ELIMINATE THE 

1571
00:56:35,391 --> 00:56:38,595
FOSSIL FUELS FROM CAMPUSES IS 

1572
00:56:38,595 --> 00:56:39,229
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. HOWEVER, 

1573
00:56:39,229 --> 00:56:39,829
IT'S EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO 

1574
00:56:39,829 --> 00:56:40,930
INVEST IN THE MONORAIL. TO GET 

1575
00:56:40,930 --> 00:56:42,198
PEOPLE ON PUBLIC TRANSIT. TO 

1576
00:56:42,198 --> 00:56:43,700
REDUCE THOSE SCOPE THREE 

1577
00:56:43,700 --> 00:56:45,902
EMISSIONS TO THINK ABOUT 

1578
00:56:45,902 --> 00:56:46,503
IMPLEMENTATION OF REUSABLES 

1579
00:56:46,503 --> 00:56:47,470
THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS, TO REDUCE

1580
00:56:47,470 --> 00:56:51,207
THE AMOUNT OF WASTE THAT GOES TO

1581
00:56:51,207 --> 00:56:51,941
LANDFILL. TO IMPLEMENT MORE 

1582
00:56:51,941 --> 00:56:52,842
SUSTAINABLE OPERATING PRACTICES 

1583
00:56:52,842 --> 00:56:53,843
AT ALL OF THOSE OTHER NONPROFIT 

1584
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:55,879
FACILITIES THAT ARE PART OF THE 

1585
00:56:55,879 --> 00:56:59,115
CAMPUS. THESE ARE ALL PART OF A 

1586
00:56:59,115 --> 00:57:00,383
GRAND VISION OF DECASHNIIZATION 

1587
00:57:00,383 --> 00:57:02,285
OF THE CAMPUS AS A WHOLE. NONE 

1588
00:57:02,285 --> 00:57:06,055
OF IT CAN START WITHOUT A 

1589
00:57:06,055 --> 00:57:06,790
SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC SECTOR 

1590
00:57:06,790 --> 00:57:07,524
INVESTMENT IN DECARBONIZATION OF

1591
00:57:07,524 --> 00:57:10,393
THE CENTRAL PLANT AND THE HVAC 

1592
00:57:10,393 --> 00:57:11,628
SYSTEMS AND THE OTHER CRITICAL 

1593
00:57:11,628 --> 00:57:14,464
INVESTMENTS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN 

1594
00:57:14,464 --> 00:57:15,598
THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS WRIT 

1595
00:57:15,598 --> 00:57:16,633
LARGE. THIS IS THE BIG DOMINO 

1596
00:57:16,633 --> 00:57:17,867
THAT KNOCKS OVER ALL OF THE REST

1597
00:57:17,867 --> 00:57:19,569
OF THE THINGS THAT ALLOWS US TO 

1598
00:57:19,569 --> 00:57:23,206
MEET OUR GOALS OF BEING REALLY A

1599
00:57:23,206 --> 00:57:23,807
CLIMATE NEUTRAL CITY BY 2040. 

1600
00:57:23,807 --> 00:57:25,241
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. 

1601
00:57:25,241 --> 00:57:29,312
AND COLLEAGUES I MEAN, THIS IS A

1602
00:57:29,312 --> 00:57:31,948
MAJOR OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A 

1603
00:57:31,948 --> 00:57:33,049
LARGE-SCALE CIVIC PROJECT THAT 

1604
00:57:33,049 --> 00:57:36,119
WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO 

1605
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:39,422
SUPPORT CLIMB RESILIENCE EFFORTS

1606
00:57:39,422 --> 00:57:40,623
AND INNOVATION. BRING ONLINE 

1607
00:57:40,623 --> 00:57:42,992
GOOD UNION JOBS AND TO TENDS TO 

1608
00:57:42,992 --> 00:57:43,460
OUR CRITICAL PUBLIC 

1609
00:57:43,460 --> 00:57:46,362
INFRASTRUCTURE AND I REALLY MEAN

1610
00:57:46,362 --> 00:57:46,996
EMPHASIS ON INFRASTRUCTURE. I 

1611
00:57:46,996 --> 00:57:49,399
MEAN, I HAVE BEEN IN THE 

1612
00:57:49,399 --> 00:57:50,800
PAVILION FOR EVENTS AND ALSO 

1613
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,035
BEEN IN FISHER WHEN IT'S OUR 

1614
00:57:52,035 --> 00:57:52,969
SEVERE WEATHER SHELTER WHEN IT 

1615
00:57:52,969 --> 00:57:55,672
IS FAR TOO COLD OUTSIDE FOR 

1616
00:57:55,672 --> 00:57:57,474
PEOPLE TO BE OUTSIDE. SO TRULY 

1617
00:57:57,474 --> 00:57:59,008
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT SERVES SO 

1618
00:57:59,008 --> 00:57:59,809
MANY DIFFERENT FOLKS ACROSS OUR 

1619
00:57:59,809 --> 00:58:01,077
CITY. SO THANK YOU CHAIR AND 

1620

YEAR BUT MY OFFICE HAS BEEN 

1664
00:59:27,830 --> 00:59:30,066
WORKING THE ISSUES FOR THREE 

1665
00:59:30,066 --> 00:59:34,604
YEARS YOU KNOW. INITIALLY I WAS 

1666
00:59:34,604 --> 00:59:37,373

TENANTS IF YOU WILL. ALL THE 

1670
00:59:42,979 --> 00:59:45,615
DIFFERENT PIECES AND IT'S 

1671
00:59:45,615 --> 00:59:46,215
INTRICATE. AND WE'VE BEEN 

1672
00:59:46,215 --> 00:59:48,418
WORKING THE -- WE'RE IN THE 

1673
00:59:48,418 --> 00:59:50,486
THIRD YEAR OF WORKING THOSE 

1674
00:59:50,486 --> 00:59:51,921
PIECES AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY 

1675
00:59:51,921 --> 00:59:53,423
IMPORTANT WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE

1676
00:59:53,423 --> 00:59:55,558
BUT WE NEED TO DO MORE. AND THIS

1677
00:59:55,558 --> 00:59:56,225
IS WHAT THIS REPRESENTS. AND WE 

1678
00:59:56,225 --> 00:59:58,161
NEED TO DO IT IN PARTNERSHIP. 

1679
00:59:58,161 --> 01:00:00,530
YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST FEW 

1680
01:00:00,530 --> 01:00:01,998
YEARS DOING THE PARTNERSHIP WITH

1681
01:00:01,998 --> 01:00:02,966
MR. JOHNSON IN HIS NEW ROLE BUT 

1682
01:00:02,966 --> 01:00:05,134
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. ONE ROOF 

1683
01:00:05,134 --> 01:00:09,172
IN ITS VARIOUS FORMS AND THAT'S

1684
01:00:09,172 --> 01:00:11,474
LATEST FORM. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

1685
01:00:11,474 --> 01:00:13,209
WHICH WAS HUGE AS IT RELATES TO 

1686
01:00:13,209 --> 01:00:14,310
THE PARTICULARLY WITH THE MORAL 

1687
01:00:14,310 --> 01:00:16,913
STADIUM AND THE MEMORIAL WALL. 

1688
01:00:16,913 --> 01:00:18,581
BUT IT'S ALSO, YOU KNOW, THE 

1689
01:00:18,581 --> 01:00:19,215
PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER. YOU 

1690
01:00:19,215 --> 01:00:20,984
KNOW, BECAUSE THERE'S ELEMENTS 

1691
01:00:20,984 --> 01:00:24,787
THAT ARE NOT TECHNICALLY PART OF

1692
01:00:24,787 --> 01:00:27,190
SEATTLE CENTER. BUT ARE INTEGRAL

1693
01:00:27,190 --> 01:00:29,459
TO IT. CIVIC SCIENCE NEEDLE AND 

1694
01:00:29,459 --> 01:00:30,626
SPACE CENTER AND WHICH HUELY. 

1695
01:00:30,626 --> 01:00:32,028
NOT MENTIONED BUT THE IMAX 

1696
01:00:32,028 --> 01:00:35,231
THEATER IS A GEM. THERE'S ONLY 

1697
01:00:35,231 --> 01:00:37,667
ONE. AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE

1698
01:00:37,667 --> 01:00:39,502
IT IS. THIS IS YOU KNOW, AND SO 

1699
01:00:39,502 --> 01:00:40,603
WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT 

1700
01:00:40,603 --> 01:00:42,138
PARTNERSHIP. MOPOP OF COURSE. 

1701
01:00:42,138 --> 01:00:43,639
BUT I ALSO WANTED TO NOTE WE 

1702
01:00:43,639 --> 01:00:45,241
NEED TO HAVE PARTNERSHIP I MEAN 

1703
01:00:45,241 --> 01:00:46,142
THERE'S ONE LINE AT THE 

1704
01:00:46,142 --> 01:00:47,677
BEGINNING OF THE BRIEFING. BUT 

1705
01:00:47,677 --> 01:00:52,015
WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT PARTNERSHIP

1706
01:00:52,015 --> 01:00:52,615
WITH NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES. 

1707
01:00:52,615 --> 01:00:53,249
FIRST UPTOWN. THEN QUEEN ANNE. 

1708
01:00:53,249 --> 01:00:55,118
SOUTH LAKE UNION AND AS VERY 

1709
01:00:55,118 --> 01:00:58,254
WELL NOTED BY MR. ENGSTROM, 

1710
01:00:58,254 --> 01:01:00,089
BELLTOWN. COMING BECAUSE PEOPLE 

1711
01:01:00,089 --> 01:01:02,058
-- THOSE CONNECTIONS, YOU SEE IT

1712
01:01:02,058 --> 01:01:03,826
IN CRACKING GAMES FOR EXAMPLE. 

1713
01:01:03,826 --> 01:01:05,261
BETWEEN BELLTOWN YOU KNOW, IT'S

1714
01:01:05,261 --> 01:01:09,132
NOT JUST WITH THE OPENING OF THE

1715
01:01:09,132 --> 01:01:11,534
CONNECTOR YOU KNOW, WITH -- 

1716
01:01:11,534 --> 01:01:12,135
MERLE EDWARDS AND CENTENNIAL 

1717
01:01:12,135 --> 01:01:14,203
PARK BUT ALL THE DIFFERENT 

1718
01:01:14,203 --> 01:01:15,438
PIECES OF BELLTOWN AS WELL. 

1719
01:01:15,438 --> 01:01:16,506
THOSE FOUR ENTITIES BECAUSE 

1720
01:01:16,506 --> 01:01:18,274
THEY'RE THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.

1721
01:01:18,274 --> 01:01:21,444
AND THEY'RE REALLY IMPORTANT IN

1722
01:01:21,444 --> 01:01:23,546
TERMS OF THAT PARTNERSHIP. AND 

1723
01:01:23,546 --> 01:01:25,381
SO I JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT, BUT AT

1724
01:01:25,381 --> 01:01:28,985
THE END OF THE DAY, THE LABOR OF

1725
01:01:28,985 --> 01:01:31,187
PEACE GOT TO BE THERE. AND I 

1726
01:01:31,187 --> 01:01:33,856
WILL SAY BE REPRESENTED. MR. 

1727
01:01:33,856 --> 01:01:35,758
ANDERSON AND I HAVE HAD THESE 

1728
01:01:35,758 --> 01:01:37,226
CONVERSATIONS. BE THERE WHEN 

1729
01:01:37,226 --> 01:01:39,929
SHOVELS ARE GOING IN THE GROUND.

1730
01:01:39,929 --> 01:01:40,797
BE THERE AT THOSE IMPORTANT 

1731
01:01:40,797 --> 01:01:41,898
POINTS TO BE REPRESENTED AND BE 

1732
01:01:41,898 --> 01:01:46,869
SEEN. BECAUSE THAT SHOWS THE 

1733
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,337
TRUE PARTNERSHIP AND SO THAT'S 

1734
01:01:48,337 --> 01:01:50,239
MY COMMITMENT TO YOU AS WE WORK 

1735
01:01:50,239 --> 01:01:51,607
THROUGH THIS. WORKING WITH OUR 

1736
01:01:51,607 --> 01:01:53,576
CHAIR AND THEN WORKING WITH THE 

1737
01:01:53,576 --> 01:01:57,280
EXECUTIVE TO DO THAT. BECAUSE 

1738
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:58,147
IT'S IMPORTANT AND IT'S 

1739
01:01:58,147 --> 01:01:59,248
IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS THE 

1740
01:01:59,248 --> 01:02:00,717
ECOSYSTEM. THAT'S SO KEY. THAT 

1741
01:02:00,717 --> 01:02:02,618
WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS. 

1742
01:02:02,618 --> 01:02:05,321
THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS 

1743
01:02:05,321 --> 01:02:08,091
ABOUT THAT IN TODAY'S SEATTLE. 

1744
01:02:08,091 --> 01:02:09,492
YOU KNOW? WHERE ARE WE? YOU 

1745
01:02:09,492 --> 01:02:11,427
KNOW, AND BY THE WAY, IT'S IN 

1746
01:02:11,427 --> 01:02:12,795
REALITY, BUT THEN ALSO 

1747
01:02:12,795 --> 01:02:14,897
PERCEPTION OF REALITY. THE 

1748
01:02:14,897 --> 01:02:15,998
PERCEPTION OF REALITY IS EVEN A 

1749
01:02:15,998 --> 01:02:18,935
BIGGER CHALLENGE. AND I THINK 

1750
01:02:18,935 --> 01:02:20,970
THAT THIS EFFORT ALONG WITH 

1751
01:02:20,970 --> 01:02:24,340
OTHER THINGS RELATED TO BUDGET, 

1752
01:02:24,340 --> 01:02:26,109
TAX POLICY, TRANSPORTATION, BUT 

1753
01:02:26,109 --> 01:02:27,310
THIS PUBLIC INVESTMENT IS REALLY

1754
01:02:27,310 --> 01:02:29,345
KEY TO SHOW THAT WE HAVE THAT 

1755
01:02:29,345 --> 01:02:31,414
BALANCE. THAT WE'RE ENGAGED ON 

1756
01:02:31,414 --> 01:02:32,515
ALL THESE DIFFERENT PIECES TO 

1757
01:02:32,515 --> 01:02:34,150
MOVE FORWARD AND TO IN THIS 

1758
01:02:34,150 --> 01:02:35,051
CASE, BRING SEATTLE CENTER WHERE

1759
01:02:35,051 --> 01:02:36,652
IT NEEDS TO BE. AND I THINK WE 

1760
01:02:36,652 --> 01:02:39,922
CAN DO IT. AND I THINK WE CAN DO

1761
01:02:39,922 --> 01:02:41,057
IT IN PARTNERSHIP. THERE'S ALSO

1762
01:02:41,057 --> 01:02:42,892
A LOT OF TALK ABOUT PARTNERSHIP.

1763
01:02:42,892 --> 01:02:44,260
BUT I MAKE THE COMMITMENT AND I 

1764
01:02:44,260 --> 01:02:45,762
MAKE THE COMMITMENT TO EVERYONE 

1765
01:02:45,762 --> 01:02:47,630
HERE TO HAVE THIS PARTNERSHIP 

1766
01:02:47,630 --> 01:02:48,731
WITH THE MAYOR AND HER TEAM. I 

1767
01:02:48,731 --> 01:02:51,334
HAVE BEEN DOING IT ON PUBLIC 

1768
01:02:51,334 --> 01:02:52,869
SAFETY PIECES. AND THIS IS 

1769
01:02:52,869 --> 01:02:55,638
ANOTHER AREA WHERE I THINK THAT 

1770
01:02:55,638 --> 01:02:58,508
THE EXECUTIVE AND THE 

1771
01:02:58,508 --> 01:02:59,442
LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES CAN WORK 

1772
01:02:59,442 --> 01:03:01,644
STRONGLY TOGETHER IN PARTNERSHIP

1773
01:03:01,644 --> 01:03:03,212
ON THOSE OUTSIDE ENTITIES 

1774
01:03:03,212 --> 01:03:03,780
PARTICULARLY LABOR TO MOVE 

1775
01:03:03,780 --> 01:03:06,082
FORWARD. AND SO AT THE END OF 

1776
01:03:06,082 --> 01:03:06,816
DAY, IT'S ABOUT LEADERSHIP. AND

1777
01:03:06,816 --> 01:03:09,318
I THINK EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM 

1778
01:03:09,318 --> 01:03:10,786
CAN STAND UP AND MAKE THE 

1779
01:03:10,786 --> 01:03:12,155
ARGUMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF 

1780
01:03:12,155 --> 01:03:13,089
SEATTLE ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT 

1781
01:03:13,089 --> 01:03:16,893
SEATTLE CENTER IS. AND YOU KNOW,

1782
01:03:16,893 --> 01:03:17,527
CREATE THAT EXCITEMENT. AND THAT

1783
01:03:17,527 --> 01:03:18,194
EXCITEMENT COMES FROM LIKE WHEN 

1784
01:03:18,194 --> 01:03:19,929
YOU WERE THERE WITH A YOUNG 

1785
01:03:19,929 --> 01:03:21,397
CHILD AT THE PACIFIC SCIENCE 

1786
01:03:21,397 --> 01:03:22,598
CENTER OR AT THE ARMORY. YOU 

1787
01:03:22,598 --> 01:03:25,501
KNOW, WITH THE -- CHILDREN'S 

1788
01:03:25,501 --> 01:03:26,769
MUSEUM. OR THE FOUNTAIN. I MEAN,

1789
01:03:26,769 --> 01:03:28,237
THERE'S A MILLION THINGS THAT 

1790
01:03:28,237 --> 01:03:29,872
CAN MAKE THIS EXCITEMENT AND 

1791
01:03:29,872 --> 01:03:32,642
THIS EXCITEMENT IS ONLY GOING TO

1792
01:03:32,642 --> 01:03:33,943
BE THAT MUCH MORE BECAUSE 

1793
01:03:33,943 --> 01:03:35,411
MEMORIAL STADIUM IS GOING TO 

1794
01:03:35,411 --> 01:03:36,946
COME ONLINE. WE HAVE THE 

1795
01:03:36,946 --> 01:03:37,647
IMPROVEMENTS ALREADY WITH PACK 

1796
01:03:37,647 --> 01:03:38,714
SIGH AND MORE TO COME THERE BE 

1797
01:03:38,714 --> 01:03:42,752

THESE AGING INFRASTRUCTURE 

1846
01:05:45,041 --> 01:05:47,009
SYSTEMS ARE HEAVILY 

1847
01:05:47,009 --> 01:05:48,711

1848
01:05:48,711 --> 01:05:50,813
MAINTENANCE, CONSTANT STATE OF 

1849
01:05:50,813 --> 01:05:55,184

1851
01:05:56,285 --> 01:05:57,787

1852
01:05:57,787 --> 01:06:01,057
TIME TO FOCUS ON OTHER STRATEGIC

1853
01:06:01,057 --> 01:06:05,127
PRIORITIES IN THE CENTER. BUT 

1854
01:06:05,127 --> 01:06:08,531
THAT'S -- THAT'S THE REASON 

1855
01:06:08,531 --> 01:06:09,131
THIS THING FRANKLY HASN'T 

1856
01:06:09,131 --> 01:06:15,037
COMPLETELY FELL APART BEFORE OUR

1858
01:06:16,672 --> 01:06:19,108

ADDRESSED THIS CRITICAL 

1863
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,522
MAINTENANCE GAP. FINALLY, THE 

1864
01:06:33,522 --> 01:06:34,156

01:06:34,156 --> 01:06:36,692
MONORAIL. AND BY THE WAY, 

1866
01:06:36,692 --> 01:06:37,360
TOURISTS LOVE THE MONORAIL TOO. 

1867
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,463

1870
01:06:45,001 --> 01:06:47,870
AND ONE OTHER THING I KNOW ABOUT

1871
01:06:47,870 --> 01:06:50,473
THE MONORAIL IS IT'S A GREAT 

1872
01:06:50,473 --> 01:06:51,340
LINE OF TRANSIT SERVICE THAT ONE

1873
01:06:51,340 --> 01:06:54,143
OF TWO THAT THE CITY OPERATES IN

1874
01:06:54,143 --> 01:06:55,711
SEATTLE. THE CITY OF SEATTLE. 

1875
01:06:55,711 --> 01:07:00,750
THE OTHER OF COURSE BEING THE 

1876
01:07:00,750 --> 01:07:02,418
STREETCAR. BUT THE EXPERIENCE 

1877
01:07:02,418 --> 01:07:06,922
FROM AN INGRESS EGRESS 

1878
01:07:06,922 --> 01:07:11,894
PERSPECTIVE OF THE MONORAIL FOR 

1879
01:07:11,894 --> 01:07:12,561
DIFFERENTLY ABLED PEOPLE, ISN'T

1880
01:07:12,561 --> 01:07:19,535
THE BEST. IT'S NOT AT ALL ADA 

1881
01:07:19,535 --> 01:07:20,736
COMPLIANT TO CURRENT STANDARDS. 

1882
01:07:20,736 --> 01:07:23,739
SO TRYING TO NAVIGATE THE 

1883
01:07:23,739 --> 01:07:26,208
MONORAIL AND HAVING A DESIRE TO 

1884
01:07:26,208 --> 01:07:28,310
TAKE THE MONORAIL I CAN'T EVEN 

1885
01:07:28,310 --> 01:07:32,415
IMAGINE WHAT THAT'S LIKE FOR 

1886
01:07:32,415 --> 01:07:33,983
SOMEONE WITH DIFFERENT MOBILITY 

1887
01:07:33,983 --> 01:07:35,284
NEEDS BECAUSE AGAIN, IT NEEDS TO

1888
01:07:35,284 --> 01:07:40,456
BE UPGRADED AS PART OF THIS 

1889
01:07:40,456 --> 01:07:41,524
REFRESH. SO HUGE OPPORTUNITY 

1890
01:07:41,524 --> 01:07:42,625
THERE. AND FINALLY I WANT TO 

1891
01:07:42,625 --> 01:07:45,261

THAT? YEAH, THE SCIENCE OVERLAY.

1894
01:07:50,699 --> 01:07:51,634
COULDN'T AGREE MORE. AT THE END

1895
01:07:51,634 --> 01:07:55,538
OF THE DAY THIS IS OUR ARTS AND 

1896
01:07:55,538 --> 01:07:57,406

THIS IS A PLACE OF DISCOVERY AND

1900
01:08:00,009 --> 01:08:04,647
THIS IS A PLACE OF IMAGINATION. 

1901
01:08:04,647 --> 01:08:06,182
IT'S A PLACE OF EXPLORATION. 

1902
01:08:06,182 --> 01:08:07,550

1918
01:08:32,374 --> 01:08:35,744
EVERY ONE OF YOU. AND YOUR 

1919
01:08:35,744 --> 01:08:36,579
LEADERSHIP AND ALSO THE 

1920
01:08:36,579 --> 01:08:37,546
DIVERSITY OF THE DISCUSSION 

1921
01:08:37,546 --> 01:08:38,914
TODAY IN TERMS OF LIKE WHAT 

1922
01:08:38,914 --> 01:08:41,584
SEATTLE CENTER IS AND WHAT IT 

1923
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:42,751
MEANS TO OUR CITY. I WANT TO 

1924
01:08:42,751 --> 01:08:45,521
TURN US -- I THINK WE HAVE 

1925
01:08:45,521 --> 01:08:47,323
TALKED ABOUT OBVIOUSLY LIKE THE 

1926
01:08:47,323 --> 01:08:47,857
BUILDING AS THESE JUST 

1927
01:08:47,857 --> 01:08:50,126
TREMENDOUS NEEDS. AND I KIND OF 

1928
01:08:50,126 --> 01:08:51,694
WANT TO FIRST ASK A QUESTION YOU

1929
01:08:51,694 --> 01:08:54,396
KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING A LOT 

1930
01:08:54,396 --> 01:08:55,464
ABOUT OUR DEFERRED 

1931
01:08:55,464 --> 01:08:56,265
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS ACROSS THE 

1932
01:08:56,265 --> 01:09:00,402
CITY. AND HOW WE BALANCE THAT 

1933
01:09:00,402 --> 01:09:01,670
ALONGSIDE, YOU KNOW, AROUNDSIDE 

1934
01:09:01,670 --> 01:09:03,506
THE IMPACT FOR COST. BUT I ALSO 

1935
01:09:03,506 --> 01:09:04,807
THINK A LOT ABOUT THE COST OF 

1936
01:09:04,807 --> 01:09:09,945
INACTION. OR CONTINUING TO DELAY

1937
01:09:09,945 --> 01:09:10,579
MUCH-NEEDED INVESTMENT AND I 

1938
01:09:10,579 --> 01:09:13,649
WONDER IF SOMEBODY AT THE TABLE 

1939
01:09:13,649 --> 01:09:16,018
I'M NOT SURE INTERIM DIRECTOR 

1940
01:09:16,018 --> 01:09:17,253
ENGSTROM OR DEPUTY MAYOR COULD 

1941
01:09:17,253 --> 01:09:19,154
SPEAK TO THAT. I THINK THAT'S 

1942
01:09:19,154 --> 01:09:20,589
AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS 

1943
01:09:20,589 --> 01:09:24,527
CONVERSATION AROUND WHY WE NEED 

1944
01:09:24,527 --> 01:09:26,795
TO BE TAKING ACTION. 

1945
01:09:26,795 --> 01:09:27,763
>> SURE. I'LL START. AND HAPPY 

1946
01:09:27,763 --> 01:09:29,365
TO SHARE THE FLOOR. I MEAN, AT 

1947
01:09:29,365 --> 01:09:30,766
THE MOST BASIC LEVEL IF YOU BUY 

1948
01:09:30,766 --> 01:09:32,568
A CAR, THAT'S NOT AN ELECTRIC 

1949
01:09:32,568 --> 01:09:35,771
CAR, AND YOU DON'T CHANGE THE 

1950
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:37,873
OIL, EVER, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE

1951
01:09:37,873 --> 01:09:40,409
TO REPLACE THE ENGINE ON THE CAR

1952
01:09:40,409 --> 01:09:43,245
AND WE'VE DONE AS MANY OIL 

1953
01:09:43,245 --> 01:09:45,047
CHANGES AS WE CAN. AND WHEN YOU 

1954
01:09:45,047 --> 01:09:46,815
ARE LITERALLY HOLDING HVAC PIPES

1955
01:09:46,815 --> 01:09:50,185
TOGETHER WITH DUCT TAPE, OR THE 

1956
01:09:50,185 --> 01:09:51,353
EARTH ITSELF, YOU HAVE REACHED A

1957
01:09:51,353 --> 01:09:52,321
POINT WHERE IT JUST NEEDS TO BE 

1958
01:09:52,321 --> 01:09:56,825
REPLACED. AND, YOU KNOW, I'M 

1959
01:09:56,825 --> 01:09:57,760
GLAD COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, YOU 

1960
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,162
SHOUTED OUT THE STAFF. THE STAFF

1961
01:10:00,162 --> 01:10:00,963
AT SEATTLE CENTER IS 

1962
01:10:00,963 --> 01:10:01,530
UNBELIEVABLE. THE HEART AND 

1963
01:10:01,530 --> 01:10:03,666
HUSTLE THEY BRING TO WORK EVERY 

1964
01:10:03,666 --> 01:10:05,968
DAY AND THE FACT THAT THEY MAKE 

1965
01:10:05,968 --> 01:10:07,102
THIS MACHINE KEEP RUNNING AND 

1966
01:10:07,102 --> 01:10:08,804
KEEP DELIVERING FROM EVERYTHING 

1967
01:10:08,804 --> 01:10:10,206
FROM HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATIONS TO 

1968
01:10:10,206 --> 01:10:10,873
THE KING COUNTY HEALTH CLINIC 

1969
01:10:10,873 --> 01:10:14,443
TO, YOU KNOW, SHOWS AT THE OPERA

1970
01:10:14,443 --> 01:10:15,344
AND EVERYTHING IN-BETWEEN, THAT 

1971
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:18,847
IS A HUGE STRAIN ON THE LABOR 

1972
01:10:18,847 --> 01:10:20,282
FORCE. THEY ARE WORKING ABOVE 

1973
01:10:20,282 --> 01:10:21,584
AND BEYOND WHAT'S REASONABLE TO

1974
01:10:21,584 --> 01:10:26,288
EXPECT IN TERMS OF THE EQUIPMENT

1975
01:10:26,288 --> 01:10:26,922
THAT THEY'RE WORKING WITH. SO 

1976
01:10:26,922 --> 01:10:27,923
ALL CREDIT TO THEM FOR DOING 

1977
01:10:27,923 --> 01:10:33,128
THAT WORK. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO 

1978
01:10:33,128 --> 01:10:34,063
SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY 

1979
01:10:34,063 --> 01:10:35,531
COULD BE WORKING WITH 

1980
01:10:35,531 --> 01:10:35,998
CONTEMPORARY MODERN 

1981
01:10:35,998 --> 01:10:36,632
INFRASTRUCTURE AND WHAT THAT 

1982
01:10:36,632 --> 01:10:39,201
WOULD MEAN FOR THE COMMUNITY. 

1983
01:10:39,201 --> 01:10:40,936
TWO YEARS AGO, TWO HOURS BEFORE 

1984
01:10:40,936 --> 01:10:43,105
THE RAINIER BEACH HIGH SCHOOL 

1985
01:10:43,105 --> 01:10:43,739
GRADUATION CENTER CEREMONY WE 

1986
01:10:43,739 --> 01:10:45,708
LOST POWER. AND HAD TO GET ON 

1987
01:10:45,708 --> 01:10:46,475
THE PHONE AND FIND EVERY 

1988
01:10:46,475 --> 01:10:48,110
GENERATOR IN KING COUNTY THAT 

1989
01:10:48,110 --> 01:10:48,711
WAS NOT CURRENTLY RENTED. AND 

1990
01:10:48,711 --> 01:10:50,613
GET IT BROUGHT TO THE CENTER AND

1991
01:10:50,613 --> 01:10:52,381
REWIRE THE ELECTRICAL SO THAT 

1992
01:10:52,381 --> 01:10:55,751
THOSE KIDS COULD GREAT WATT ON 

1993
01:10:55,751 --> 01:10:57,586
TIME. THAT'S ONE EXAMPLE OF 

1994
01:10:57,586 --> 01:10:59,388
WHAT HAPPENS. WITH A SYSTEM 

1995
01:10:59,388 --> 01:11:00,389
THAT'S AT RISK OF CRITICAL 

1996
01:11:00,389 --> 01:11:01,056
FAILURE ALL THE TIME. 

1997
01:11:01,056 --> 01:11:03,726
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. OH YES, 

1998
01:11:03,726 --> 01:11:04,526
DEPUTY MAYOR, PLEASE. 

1999
01:11:04,526 --> 01:11:05,594
>> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER. THE 

2000
01:11:05,594 --> 01:11:08,897
ONLY THING I WOULD ADD IS YOU 

2001
01:11:08,897 --> 01:11:11,634
ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THERE'S A

2002
01:11:11,634 --> 01:11:13,769
COST FOR CONTINUED DELAY. AND AT

2003
01:11:13,769 --> 01:11:16,338
THE SAME TIME, I THINK IT'S 

2004
01:11:16,338 --> 01:11:17,106
ALSO IRONICALLY THIS DEFERRED 

2005
01:11:17,106 --> 01:11:21,810
MAINTENANCE HAS ALLOWED US TO BE

2006
01:11:21,810 --> 01:11:23,412
SMARTER FRANKLY ON WHAT'S 

2007
01:11:23,412 --> 01:11:24,046
POSSIBLE. AT SEATTLE CENTER. I 

2008
01:11:24,046 --> 01:11:25,914
THINK THE -- THE NEW 

2009
01:11:25,914 --> 01:11:29,718
TECHNOLOGIES AND NEW VISIONS 

2010
01:11:29,718 --> 01:11:30,452
AROUND WHAT IS DECARBONIZATION 

2011
01:11:30,452 --> 01:11:32,921
TRULY MEAN HAS GIVEN I THINK US 

2012
01:11:32,921 --> 01:11:35,391
LOT OF IDEAS OF WHAT AGAIN 

2013
01:11:35,391 --> 01:11:37,426
WHAT'S POSSIBLE. AND SO I THINK

2014
01:11:37,426 --> 01:11:39,628
WE ALL SHARE THAT SAME URGENCY 

2015
01:11:39,628 --> 01:11:41,864
THAT WE CAN NO LONGER KICK THE 

2016
01:11:41,864 --> 01:11:44,300
CAN DOWN THE ROAD. THE QUESTION 

2017
01:11:44,300 --> 01:11:45,734
BECOMES FOR US IS, LET'S BE 

2018
01:11:45,734 --> 01:11:48,771
REALLY, REALLY TIGHT ON EXACTLY 

2019
01:11:48,771 --> 01:11:50,205
WHAT WE WANT. AND THEN WE'LL 

2020
01:11:50,205 --> 01:11:51,573
TALK ABOUT THIS IN THE NEXT 

2021
01:11:51,573 --> 01:11:52,975
SESSION OF THE AGENDA. BUT YOU 

2022
01:11:52,975 --> 01:11:56,078
KNOW THE TIMING OF IT, YOU KNOW,

2023
01:11:56,078 --> 01:11:59,615
IF WE WERE ASKING VOTERS TO 

2024
01:11:59,615 --> 01:12:00,683
INVEST IN THE TREASURED ASSET IS

2025
01:12:00,683 --> 01:12:01,684
KIND OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO 

2026
01:12:01,684 --> 01:12:04,086
MAKE SURE WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT 

2027
01:12:04,086 --> 01:12:05,521
WE WANT TO ASK OF THE VOTERS AND

2028
01:12:05,521 --> 01:12:06,188
LET'S BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT IT. 

2029
01:12:06,188 --> 01:12:07,890
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH DEPUTY 

2030
01:12:07,890 --> 01:12:09,858
MAYOR. AND JUST FOR THE RECORD I

2031
01:12:09,858 --> 01:12:13,195
WANT TO SAY WE'VE HEARD SEATTLE

2032
01:12:13,195 --> 01:12:13,862
CENTER TODAY COMPARED TO A 

2033
01:12:13,862 --> 01:12:16,565
HEART, A FACE AND A CAR. SO 

2034
01:12:16,565 --> 01:12:18,333
IT'S -- OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF 

2035
01:12:18,333 --> 01:12:20,803
GREAT ANALOGIES COMING FROM THE 

2036
01:12:20,803 --> 01:12:22,004
TABLE TODAY. AND I WILL JUST 

2037
01:12:22,004 --> 01:12:22,905
HAVE ONE FINAL QUESTION CHAIR. 

2038
01:12:22,905 --> 01:12:24,573
SO YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING I 

2039
01:12:24,573 --> 01:12:25,874
WANT TO BRING INTO THIS 

2040
01:12:25,874 --> 01:12:26,909
CONVERSATION AND I WOULD JUST BE

2041
01:12:26,909 --> 01:12:28,811
REMISS NOT TO BECAUSE I HAVE THE

2042
01:12:28,811 --> 01:12:30,879
PLEASURE OF SERVING AS THE CHAIR

2043
01:12:30,879 --> 01:12:33,215
OF HOUSING ARTS AND CIVIL 

2044
01:12:33,215 --> 01:12:34,683
RIGHTS. AND THE SEATTLE CENTER 

2045
01:12:34,683 --> 01:12:38,620
IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PLACE FOR 

2046
01:12:38,620 --> 01:12:39,955
OUR ART COMMUNITY. I THINK ABOUT

2047
01:12:39,955 --> 01:12:42,124
FESTAL AND THE CONNECTION WITH 

2048
01:12:42,124 --> 01:12:44,093
VENDORS. BUT I ALSO THINK ABOUT 

2049
01:12:44,093 --> 01:12:46,895
THE DIVERSITY IN OUR ARTS 

2050
01:12:46,895 --> 01:12:48,297
COMMUNITY IN SEATTLE. AND HOW 

2051
01:12:48,297 --> 01:12:50,599
THAT DIVERSITY IS ALSO 

2052
01:12:50,599 --> 01:12:51,266
INTERTWINED WITH SEATTLE CENTER.

2053
01:12:51,266 --> 01:12:53,902
SO THAT MIGHT MEAN OTHER 

2054
01:12:53,902 --> 01:12:54,703
INDEPENDENT ARTS ORGANIZATIONS 

2055
01:12:54,703 --> 01:12:57,306
THAT PARTNER WITH THE CENTER. 

2056
01:12:57,306 --> 01:12:58,974
AND SO I WONDER IF SOMEBODY 

2057
01:12:58,974 --> 01:13:01,710
SPEAK TO THAT NETWORK AND THAT 

2058
01:13:01,710 --> 01:13:02,311
CONNECTION AND HOW SEATTLE 

2059
01:13:02,311 --> 01:13:04,380
CENTER PARTNERS WITH OUR BROADER

2060
01:13:04,380 --> 01:13:08,884
ARTS COMMUNITY. BECAUSE I REALLY

2061
01:13:08,884 --> 01:13:12,721
SEE THAT INTERCONNECTION AS 

2062
01:13:12,721 --> 01:13:12,955
VITAL. 

2063
01:13:12,955 --> 01:13:19,862
>> OKAY. ME AGAIN. HI. WELL, I 

2064
01:13:19,862 --> 01:13:21,663
MEAN, ONE, AMENTIALED FESTAL. WE

2065
01:13:21,663 --> 01:13:23,532
HAVE 25 CULTURAL FESTIVALS THAT 

2066
01:13:23,532 --> 01:13:25,634
ARE ALL YEAR-ROUND. CULTURAL 

2067
01:13:25,634 --> 01:13:26,635
PARTNERS FROM ALL OVER THE 

2068
01:13:26,635 --> 01:13:27,903
REGION. THE -- THE I MEAN, NORTH

2069
01:13:27,903 --> 01:13:29,138
WEST FOLK LIFE IS GOING TO 

2070
01:13:29,138 --> 01:13:31,140
WELCOME 200,000 PEOPLE TO THE 

2071
01:13:31,140 --> 01:13:32,574
CAMPUS AND HUNDREDS OF ARTISTS 

2072
01:13:32,574 --> 01:13:36,545
AND VENDORS OF ALL SHAPES AND 

2073
01:13:36,545 --> 01:13:37,579
SIZES. WE HAVE THE -- THE BITE 

2074
01:13:37,579 --> 01:13:40,783
OF SEATTLE WHICH BRINGS A LOT OF

2075
01:13:40,783 --> 01:13:42,017
LOCAL FOOD VENDORS AND 

2076
01:13:42,017 --> 01:13:43,152
HOSPITALITY VENDORS. THE FISHER 

2077
01:13:43,152 --> 01:13:45,354
PAVILION IS HOME TO A TON EVENTS

2078
01:13:45,354 --> 01:13:47,856
AND I WAS AT THE PACIFIC SCIENCE

2079
01:13:47,856 --> 01:13:48,557
CENTER LUNCH ON FRIDAY AND THEN 

2080
01:13:48,557 --> 01:13:51,426
I WAS AT THE PRATT AUCTION ON 

2081
01:13:51,426 --> 01:13:53,662
SATURDAY. ALSO MARY'S PLACE WAS

2082
01:13:53,662 --> 01:13:54,630
THERE LAST WEEK. IT'S -- IT IS 

2083
01:13:54,630 --> 01:13:56,732
HOME TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT KINDS

2084
01:13:56,732 --> 01:13:57,733
OF EVENTS AND IT SUPPORTS THE 

2085
01:13:57,733 --> 01:13:59,334
COMMUNITY IN A VARIETY OF 

2086
01:13:59,334 --> 01:14:04,940
DIFFERENT WAYS. YOU KNOW, McCALL

2087
01:14:04,940 --> 01:14:08,644
HALL IS HOME TO EVENTS AND ALSO 

2088
01:14:08,644 --> 01:14:11,647
OF ALLEY WONG THIS SUMMER AND 

2089
01:14:11,647 --> 01:14:12,281
OTHER EVENTS THROUGH THE CITY. 

2090
01:14:12,281 --> 01:14:14,016
WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH 

2091
01:14:14,016 --> 01:14:15,250
SEATTLE UNIVERSITY WHERE THE 

2092
01:14:15,250 --> 01:14:16,819
STUDENTS AND PUBLIC ACCESS THAT 

2093
01:14:16,819 --> 01:14:18,320
SPACE. THE REP AND THE 

2094
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:19,888
CHILDREN'S THEATER HOST OF 

2095
01:14:19,888 --> 01:14:20,956
COURSE THEIR OWN PROGRAMMING BUT

2096
01:14:20,956 --> 01:14:22,324
ALSO HOST COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING 

2097
01:14:22,324 --> 01:14:23,892
AND THEN WE HAVE ORGANIZATIONS 

2098
01:14:23,892 --> 01:14:25,861
THAT DO EVENTS ALL OVER THE 

2099
01:14:25,861 --> 01:14:27,062
CITY. ORGANIZATIONS LIKE TEAM 

2100
01:14:27,062 --> 01:14:30,933
TICKS THAT SEND YOUNG PEOPLE TO 

2101
01:14:30,933 --> 01:14:32,134
ENGAGE WITH ARTS AND CULTURAL 

2102
01:14:32,134 --> 01:14:33,035
CITY-WIDE. I THINK THAT 

2103
01:14:33,035 --> 01:14:33,969
SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD

2104
01:14:33,969 --> 01:14:35,571
TO DOING SOMETHING IS HOW WE CAN

2105
01:14:35,571 --> 01:14:38,273
BE A RESOURCE FOR THE WIDER 

2106
01:14:38,273 --> 01:14:38,974
CULTURAL AND CREATIVE ECONOMY 

2107
01:14:38,974 --> 01:14:41,443
ECOSYSTEM. YOU KNOW, WE SUPPORT 

2108
01:14:41,443 --> 01:14:42,311
19,000 JOBS AT THE CAMPUS. HOW 

2109
01:14:42,311 --> 01:14:44,479
CAN WE BE A RESOURCE TO EVERY 

2110
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,582
STUDENT IN SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOL

2111
01:14:46,582 --> 01:14:47,850
WHO'S INTERESTED IN A CAREER 

2112
01:14:47,850 --> 01:14:48,851
PATHWAY IS SOMETHING INTO THE 

2113
01:14:48,851 --> 01:14:49,918
CREATIVE ECONOMY IS SOMETHING I 

2114
01:14:49,918 --> 01:14:54,323
TALKED ABOUT WITH JENNIFER AND 

2115
01:14:54,323 --> 01:14:54,990
THE LABOR PARTNERS. THERE'S WHAT

2116
01:14:54,990 --> 01:14:57,192
WE CAN DO FOR THE REST OF THE 

2117
01:14:57,192 --> 01:14:59,461
CITY AND I HOPE WE CAN BE AN 

2118
01:14:59,461 --> 01:15:02,798
ENGINE FOR THE WIDER ECOLOGY OF 

2119
01:15:02,798 --> 01:15:03,065
THE CITY. 

2120
01:15:03,065 --> 01:15:06,535
>> IF I MAY, COUNCILMEMBER I 

2121
01:15:06,535 --> 01:15:08,403
WANT TO PUT A PIN IN ONE LITTLE 

2122
01:15:08,403 --> 01:15:10,706
THING THERE. ONE OF THE WAYS IN 

2123
01:15:10,706 --> 01:15:11,573
WHICH WE CAN CONTINUE TO BE A 

2124
01:15:11,573 --> 01:15:13,442
HOME FOR ARTS AND CULTURE IS BY 

2125
01:15:13,442 --> 01:15:14,076
BRINGING THE COSTS DOWN. RIGHT 

2126
01:15:14,076 --> 01:15:15,210
NOW IF YOU ARE A FESTIVAL AND 

2127
01:15:15,210 --> 01:15:16,378
YOU LIKE TO BRING SOMETHING TO 

2128
01:15:16,378 --> 01:15:17,512
SEATTLE CENTER YOU HAVE TO PAY 

2129
01:15:17,512 --> 01:15:18,113
FOR THE TEMPORARY POWER. YOU 

2130
01:15:18,113 --> 01:15:19,047
HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TEMPORARY 

2131
01:15:19,047 --> 01:15:21,116
WATER AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR 

2132
01:15:21,116 --> 01:15:22,518
WHOLE LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE. 

2133
01:15:22,518 --> 01:15:23,819
THAT DOESN'T EXIST ON CAMPUS 

2134
01:15:23,819 --> 01:15:25,053
TODAY. A LOT OF THE 

2135
01:15:25,053 --> 01:15:25,621
MODERNIZATION THAT WE'RE 

2136
01:15:25,621 --> 01:15:28,824
TALKING ABOUT WILL MAKE IT 

2137
01:15:28,824 --> 01:15:29,625
SIMPLER AND FASTER AND EASIER TO

2138
01:15:29,625 --> 01:15:31,894
KNIT TOGETHER WHILE ALSO 

2139
01:15:31,894 --> 01:15:33,462
BRINGING THE COSTS DOWN. 

2140
01:15:33,462 --> 01:15:34,663
MAINTAINS THAT POSITION AS AN 

2141
01:15:34,663 --> 01:15:35,864
INCUBATOR THAT I KNOW YOU CARE 

2142
01:15:35,864 --> 01:15:38,500
SO MUCH ABOUT FOR ARTS AND 

2143
01:15:38,500 --> 01:15:39,034
CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS AND 

2144
01:15:39,034 --> 01:15:41,637
COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM NOT JUST 

2145
01:15:41,637 --> 01:15:42,137
THROUGHOUT THE CITY BUT 

2146
01:15:42,137 --> 01:15:45,007
THROUGHOUT REGION. INCREASINGLY 

2147
01:15:45,007 --> 01:15:46,174
COMPETITIVE SPACE. SEATTLE 

2148
01:15:46,174 --> 01:15:49,211
CENTER NEEDS TO MODERNIZE IN 

2149
01:15:49,211 --> 01:15:50,746
ORDER TO STAY RELEVANT TO THOSE 

2150
01:15:50,746 --> 01:15:53,215
FOLKS AND TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE 

2151
01:15:53,215 --> 01:15:55,517
BEING AS AFFORDABLE AS WE 

2152
01:15:55,517 --> 01:15:56,818

THE SEATTLE CENTER ARMORY. AND 

2175
01:16:37,292 --> 01:16:39,227
THEY ARE AN AMAZING CONNECTOR IN

2176
01:16:39,227 --> 01:16:42,597
THE ARTS COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, 

2177
01:16:42,597 --> 01:16:43,498
THEY'RE WORKING WITH 

2178
01:16:43,498 --> 01:16:44,900
ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE, YOU 

2179
01:16:44,900 --> 01:16:47,736
KNOW, THEY ARE NOT THE BIG FOR 

2180
01:16:47,736 --> 01:16:52,374
PROFIT THEATERS. OR NOT EVEN FOR

2181
01:16:52,374 --> 01:16:54,176
PROFIT. NONPROFIT THEATERS. LIKE

2182
01:16:54,176 --> 01:16:55,877
5th AVENUE THEATER YOU KNOW, 

2183
01:16:55,877 --> 01:16:58,580
THEY ALSO CONNECT WITH ALL OF 

2184
01:16:58,580 --> 01:16:59,147
THESE SMALLER ORGANIZATIONS 

2185
01:16:59,147 --> 01:17:00,048
THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND THEY 

2186
01:17:00,048 --> 01:17:04,152
MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THESE 

2187
01:17:04,152 --> 01:17:06,021
ORGANIZATIONS TO DO THAT BY 

2188
01:17:06,021 --> 01:17:08,056
BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AT THE 

2189
01:17:08,056 --> 01:17:09,691
SEATTLE CENTER. BUT THE 

2190
01:17:09,691 --> 01:17:13,996
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THEY ARE 

2191
01:17:13,996 --> 01:17:14,630
CURRENTLY WORKING WITH IS VERY 

2192
01:17:14,630 --> 01:17:17,199
LIMITED. SO THEY'RE ABLE TO 

2193
01:17:17,199 --> 01:17:20,035
MAKE THINGS POSSIBLE AND THEY DO

2194
01:17:20,035 --> 01:17:20,636
THE AUDITIONS FOR ALL SMALLER 

2195
01:17:20,636 --> 01:17:21,770

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR A 

2197
01:17:23,071 --> 01:17:25,674
TECH OPPORTUNITY. AND HELPING TO

2198
01:17:25,674 --> 01:17:26,641
CREATE SOME OF THOSE PATHWAYS 

2199
01:17:26,641 --> 01:17:30,312
FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE A LIVING AND 

2200
01:17:30,312 --> 01:17:31,913
A CAREER IN THE ARTS. AND THEY 

2201
01:17:31,913 --> 01:17:35,450
ARE ALSO DOING IT ON A SHOE 

2202
01:17:35,450 --> 01:17:37,386
STRING AND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT 

2203
01:17:37,386 --> 01:17:38,954
REALLY DOESN'T GIVE THEM 

2204
01:17:38,954 --> 01:17:41,023
EVERYTHING THAT THEY COULD USE 

2205
01:17:41,023 --> 01:17:43,759
TO MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS MORE 

2206
01:17:43,759 --> 01:17:45,093

FRAME UP SOME OF THE 

2250
01:19:33,602 --> 01:19:36,905
CONVERSATION ON THIS NEXT AGENDA

2251
01:19:36,905 --> 01:19:37,439
ITEM DIRECTLY FROM MY 

2252
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:40,475
PERSPECTIVE. WANT TO TAKE A 

2253
01:19:40,475 --> 01:19:43,111
MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FISCAL

2254
01:19:43,111 --> 01:19:43,979
STRAIN THAT MANY RESIDENTS, 

2255
01:19:43,979 --> 01:19:46,715
FAMILIES AND LOCAL BUSINESSES 

2256
01:19:46,715 --> 01:19:47,282
ARE UNDER THESE DAYS. 

2257
01:19:47,282 --> 01:19:51,219
>> AFFORDABILITY IS TOP OF MIND 

2258
01:19:51,219 --> 01:19:53,121
IN MY OFFICE. ASKING TAXPAYERS 

2259
01:19:53,121 --> 01:19:56,358
TO SUPPORT THIS EFFORT IS NOT A 

2260
01:19:56,358 --> 01:19:58,226
DECISION THAT I HAVE TAKEN 

2261
01:19:58,226 --> 01:20:00,862
LIGHTLY. MY OFFICE HAS SPENT 

2262
01:20:00,862 --> 01:20:04,065
MUCH OF THE YEAR RESEARCHING THE

2263
01:20:04,065 --> 01:20:05,534
VARIOUS FUNDING OPTIONS THAT ARE

2264
01:20:05,534 --> 01:20:06,368
AVAILABLE TO INCLUDE THOROUGH 

2265
01:20:06,368 --> 01:20:08,970
REVIEW OF WHAT OTHER CITIES DO 

2266
01:20:08,970 --> 01:20:12,007

ARTS, CULTURAL, CIVIC GATHERING 

2268
01:20:14,409 --> 01:20:15,243

2269
01:20:15,243 --> 01:20:16,611
THOUGHT AND DELIBERATION, I HAVE

2270
01:20:16,611 --> 01:20:20,549
DETERMINED THAT THIS IS THE 

2271
01:20:20,549 --> 01:20:24,452
RIGHT MOVE, THE RIGHT TIME. IN 

2272
01:20:24,452 --> 01:20:25,220
PARTNERSHIP WITH MAYOR'S OFFICE

2273
01:20:25,220 --> 01:20:27,189
AND COMMUNITY. REALLY FOR A FEW 

2274
01:20:27,189 --> 01:20:29,357
KEY REASONS. FIRST AND FOREMOST 

2275
01:20:29,357 --> 01:20:32,194
I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS 

2276
01:20:32,194 --> 01:20:33,128
FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL THAT WE'LL 

2277
01:20:33,128 --> 01:20:35,564
HEAR MORE ABOUT IN JUST A MOMENT

2278
01:20:35,564 --> 01:20:38,934
WOULD ESTABLISH AND HEAVILY RELY

2279
01:20:38,934 --> 01:20:40,669
ON THE CREATION OF ROBUST 

2280
01:20:40,669 --> 01:20:41,269
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. 

2281
01:20:41,269 --> 01:20:44,539
THAT LEVERAGE OUR PRIVATE AND 

2282
01:20:44,539 --> 01:20:45,407
PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITIES TO 

2283
01:20:45,407 --> 01:20:47,676
AMPLIFY THE IMPACT THAT ANY CITY

2284
01:20:47,676 --> 01:20:48,710
DOLLAR OR ANY CITY INVESTMENT. 

2285
01:20:48,710 --> 01:20:54,249
WE'RE LOOKING AT A COUPLE 

2286
01:20:54,249 --> 01:20:57,619
MODELS RIGHT NOW FOR PRIOR CITY 

2287
01:20:57,619 --> 01:21:01,489
FUNDED INVESTMENT THAT INCLUDED 

2288
01:21:01,489 --> 01:21:03,625
ROBUST PRIVATE CONTRIBUTIONS AS 

2289
01:21:03,625 --> 01:21:04,159
WELL. AND WHATEVER THOSE 

2290
01:21:04,159 --> 01:21:07,229
PROJECTS WERE, WE WANT THIS TO 

2291
01:21:07,229 --> 01:21:13,868
BE THE NEW GOLD STANDARD IN 

2292
01:21:13,868 --> 01:21:15,036
TERMS OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE 

2293
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:16,638
PARTNERSHIPS. THIS IS AS WE 

2294
01:21:16,638 --> 01:21:17,672
LEARNED ABOUT EARLIER AS WELL, 

2295
01:21:17,672 --> 01:21:21,276
THIS IS A STRATEGIC INVESTMENT 

2296
01:21:21,276 --> 01:21:25,247
THAT OFFERS ECONOMIC 

2297
01:21:25,247 --> 01:21:26,181
OPPORTUNITIES AND ALSO UNLOCKS 

2298
01:21:26,181 --> 01:21:27,415
FUTURE REVENUE AND GROWTH 

2299
01:21:27,415 --> 01:21:29,818
POTENTIAL FOR ALL. SEATTLE 

2300
01:21:29,818 --> 01:21:33,154
CENTER IS A KEY DRIVER OUR 

2301
01:21:33,154 --> 01:21:34,022
TOURISM INDUSTRY. EVERY SINGLE 

2302
01:21:34,022 --> 01:21:35,090
DOLLAR INVESTED IN THE CAMPUS 

2303
01:21:35,090 --> 01:21:38,960
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPACT 

2304
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:40,862
VARIOUS SMALL BUSINESSES, 

2305
01:21:40,862 --> 01:21:41,496
NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANTS, HOTELS

2306
01:21:41,496 --> 01:21:44,266
AND RETAIL SHOPS. RENOVATION 

2307
01:21:44,266 --> 01:21:46,835
WOULD CREATE IMMEDIATE HIGH 

2308
01:21:46,835 --> 01:21:48,536
QUALITY UNION JOBS, PUTTING 

2309
01:21:48,536 --> 01:21:50,071
PEOPLE TO WORK. IT'S AN URGENT 

2310
01:21:50,071 --> 01:21:53,108
OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN OUR 

2311
01:21:53,108 --> 01:21:55,277
LOCAL WORK FORCE AND SEATTLE'S 

2312
01:21:55,277 --> 01:21:58,813
LONG-TERM ECONOMIC HEALTH. NEXT,

2313
01:21:58,813 --> 01:22:00,048
CURRENT OPERATIONS AS I 

2314
01:22:00,048 --> 01:22:01,449
MENTIONED EARLIER RELY HEAVILY 

2315
01:22:01,449 --> 01:22:04,286
ON TEMPORARY FIXES AND BAND-AIDS

2316
01:22:04,286 --> 01:22:06,454
AND EMERGENCY RESPONSES AND 

2317
01:22:06,454 --> 01:22:07,022
STAFF WORK AROUNDS. THIS 

2318
01:22:07,022 --> 01:22:07,922
APPROACH IS INEFFECTIVE IN THE 

2319
01:22:07,922 --> 01:22:10,892
SHORT TERM AND NOT AT ALL 

2320
01:22:10,892 --> 01:22:12,560
SUSTAINABLE. THAT'S WHY 

2321
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,362
INVESTING NOW ALLOWS US TO PAY 

2322
01:22:14,362 --> 01:22:19,801
MUCH LESS IN THE FUTURE AS 

2323
01:22:19,801 --> 01:22:21,303
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER TEED UP. NO

2324
01:22:21,303 --> 01:22:23,438
SECRET THAT COSTS ARE GOING UP 

2325
01:22:23,438 --> 01:22:29,978
AND WE ALL FEEL IT. THAT'S WHY 

2326
01:22:29,978 --> 01:22:31,112
INVESTING IN SEATTLE CENTER IS 

2327
01:22:31,112 --> 01:22:32,847
NOW IS FISCALLY PRUDENT AND 

2328
01:22:32,847 --> 01:22:33,481
AVOIDS SKYROCKETING COSTS IN THE

2329
01:22:33,481 --> 01:22:38,019
FUTURE. FOR THE CITY AND ITS 

2330
01:22:38,019 --> 01:22:40,121
PRIVATE PARTNERS. FINALLY I'LL 

2331
01:22:40,121 --> 01:22:44,826
NOTE THAT VOTER APPROVED BONDS 

2332
01:22:44,826 --> 01:22:45,794
HELP DISTRIBUTE COSTS OVER TIME.

2333
01:22:45,794 --> 01:22:48,897
REDUCING CURRENT YEAR FINANCIAL 

2334
01:22:48,897 --> 01:22:51,299
IMPACTS AND MAKING SIGNIFICANT 

2335
01:22:51,299 --> 01:22:51,900
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS POSSIBLE. 

2336
01:22:51,900 --> 01:22:53,501
IT'S -- BORROWING AUTHORITY 

2337
01:22:53,501 --> 01:22:55,303
AGAINST THE CITY'S FUTURE SELF 

2338
01:22:55,303 --> 01:23:00,175
AS OPPOSED TO RAISING NET NEW 

2339
01:23:00,175 --> 01:23:02,677
REVENUES VIA A LEVY. OR 

2340
01:23:02,677 --> 01:23:03,311
BORROWING AGAINST OURSELVES. SO 

2341
01:23:03,311 --> 01:23:04,913
AND AGAIN TO BE CLEAR WE'RE NOT

2342
01:23:04,913 --> 01:23:07,482
ASKING THE PUBLIC TO FOOT THE 

2343
01:23:07,482 --> 01:23:10,151

01:23:10,151 --> 01:23:10,785
SEATTLE CENTER RENOVATIONS. 

2345
01:23:10,785 --> 01:23:11,419
PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS WILL

2346
01:23:11,419 --> 01:23:12,988
BE A KEY COMPONENT OF THEIR 

2347
01:23:12,988 --> 01:23:17,392
OVERALL FUNDING STRATEGY. ALL

01:23:17,392 --> 01:23:19,928

2361
01:23:45,887 --> 01:23:47,922
CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR AND 

2362
01:23:47,922 --> 01:23:48,590
COUNCILMEMBERS, SEATTLE CENTER 

2363
01:23:48,590 --> 01:23:52,427
AS YOU HEARD FROM THE PREVIOUS 

2364
01:23:52,427 --> 01:23:52,994
PANEL IS A PRIORITY. IT'S 

2365
01:23:52,994 --> 01:23:55,730
SOMETHING THAT IN MANY WAYS WHEN

2366
01:23:55,730 --> 01:23:59,734
YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, 

2367
01:23:59,734 --> 01:24:00,402
ASSETS THAT COMMUNITIES TAKE FOR

2368
01:24:00,402 --> 01:24:01,169
GRANTED, I THINK SEATTLE CENTER 

2369
01:24:01,169 --> 01:24:03,438
IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS BECAUSE 

2370
01:24:03,438 --> 01:24:04,539
IT'S BEEN EVER PRESENT. RIGHT? 

2371
01:24:04,539 --> 01:24:07,909
AND IT'S LIKE OH, IT'S THERE. 

2372
01:24:07,909 --> 01:24:11,980
IT'S THERE. AND WHAT WE HAVE 

2373
01:24:11,980 --> 01:24:13,148
FOUND IS OVER TIME, WE HAVE NOT 

2374
01:24:13,148 --> 01:24:14,215
DONE WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE 

2375
01:24:14,215 --> 01:24:15,784
DOING WITH ONE OF OUR MOST 

2376
01:24:15,784 --> 01:24:20,588
IMPORTANT ASSETS. I THINK THE 

2377
01:24:20,588 --> 01:24:22,991
URGENCY AND THE LITANY OF 

2378
01:24:22,991 --> 01:24:24,826
IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE NEED TO SEE

2379
01:24:24,826 --> 01:24:27,162
DONE, YOU KNOW, THE LIST IS 

2380
01:24:27,162 --> 01:24:30,198
LONG. AND I THINK WE HAVE AN 

2381
01:24:30,198 --> 01:24:32,934
OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING 

2382
01:24:32,934 --> 01:24:36,070
REALLY, REALLY DRAMATIC GOING 

2383
01:24:36,070 --> 01:24:36,871
FORWARD. ALSO APPRECIATE CHAIR, 

2384
01:24:36,871 --> 01:24:38,173
YOUR, YOU KNOW, YOUR COMMENTS 

2385
01:24:38,173 --> 01:24:43,344
AROUND HOW WE PUT THIS IN A 

2386
01:24:43,344 --> 01:24:44,279
CONTEXT OF THE PUBLIC. AND, YOU 

2387
01:24:44,279 --> 01:24:46,147
KNOW, AFFORDABILITY IS ON TOP OF

2388
01:24:46,147 --> 01:24:49,684
MIND FOR EVERYBODY. AND WHAT WE 

2389
01:24:49,684 --> 01:24:56,458
WANT TO DO AS WE MOVE FORWARD 

2390
01:24:56,458 --> 01:24:58,993
WITH BEING THOUGHTFUL AND 

2391
01:24:58,993 --> 01:25:00,328
INTENTIONAL AND DILIGENT IN 

2392
01:25:00,328 --> 01:25:01,196
SUPPORTING ANY KIND OF FUNDING 

2393
01:25:01,196 --> 01:25:02,864
MEASURE OR STRATEGY, WANT TO 

2394
01:25:02,864 --> 01:25:04,299
KEEP THAT IN MIND AND IF WE'RE 

2395
01:25:04,299 --> 01:25:07,101
GOING TO DO THIS, AND WHEN WE DO

2396
01:25:07,101 --> 01:25:11,339
THIS, WHEN WE DO THIS, I THINK 

2397
01:25:11,339 --> 01:25:12,974
IT'S INCUMBENT UPON US TO BE 

2398
01:25:12,974 --> 01:25:15,210
REALLY, REALLY CLEAR ON WHAT 

2399
01:25:15,210 --> 01:25:17,946
WE'RE ASKING VOTERS TO APPROVE.

2400
01:25:17,946 --> 01:25:19,714
THE THRESHOLD IS IF WE DO GO 

2401
01:25:19,714 --> 01:25:23,751
DOWN THE PATH OF THE BOND, WHICH

2402
01:25:23,751 --> 01:25:27,789
IS THE MOST LIKELY VEHICLE, THE 

2403
01:25:27,789 --> 01:25:29,023
THRESHOLD IS HIGH. AND THE 

2404
01:25:29,023 --> 01:25:29,691
CHALLENGE TO US TO COMMUNICATE 

2405
01:25:29,691 --> 01:25:33,595
THE VALUE WILL BE HIGH. AND SO 

2406
01:25:33,595 --> 01:25:35,396
THE PREVIOUS PANEL DID A GREAT 

2407
01:25:35,396 --> 01:25:38,466
JOB OF OUTLINING KIND OF HIGH 

2408
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:40,802
LEVEL WHAT'S NEEDED. THE BIG 

2409
01:25:40,802 --> 01:25:41,603
BUCKETS. AND THERE'S SOME 

2410
01:25:41,603 --> 01:25:42,770
DEEPER WORK AND PLANNING THAT WE

2411
01:25:42,770 --> 01:25:44,973
NEED TO DO SO IF WE'RE GOING TO

2412
01:25:44,973 --> 01:25:46,808
ASK THE VOTERS WE NEED TO BE 

2413
01:25:46,808 --> 01:25:50,178
THOUGHTFUL AND STRATEGIC AND I 

2414
01:25:50,178 --> 01:25:52,347
THINK THIS RESOLUTION IS A GREAT

2415
01:25:52,347 --> 01:25:55,683

2416
01:25:55,683 --> 01:25:56,317

2419
01:26:02,390 --> 01:26:03,958

LITERALLY QUITE LITERALLY WROTE 

2594
01:32:00,381 --> 01:32:03,718

01:32:14,061 --> 01:32:19,233
THAT WE HAVE HERE BEFORE US. SO 

2600
01:32:19,233 --> 01:32:20,968
I'LL SHARE THAT TO ECHO 

2601
01:32:20,968 --> 01:32:23,905
COMMENTS FROM DEPUTY MAYOR A 

2602
01:32:23,905 --> 01:32:25,206
MOMENT AGO, WHAT THIS IS, IT'S A

2603
01:32:25,206 --> 01:32:31,012
FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL. THIS 

2604
01:32:31,012 --> 01:32:32,179
ESTABLISHES A FRAMEWORK FOR HOW,

2605
01:32:32,179 --> 01:32:36,284
WHEN AND WHY WE'RE GOING TO GO 

2606
01:32:36,284 --> 01:32:40,121
RENOVATE THE SEATTLE CENTER. IT 

2607
01:32:40,121 --> 01:32:42,290
THE CLEARLY DOESN'T INCLUDE OR 

2608
01:32:42,290 --> 01:32:42,857
CONTEMPLATE EVERY SINGLE 

2609
01:32:42,857 --> 01:32:43,858
CONCEIVABLE DETAIL. SOME OF THAT

2610
01:32:43,858 --> 01:32:46,661
A LOT OF THAT, A DECENT AMOUNT 

2611
01:32:46,661 --> 01:32:48,829
OF THAT, NEEDS TO BE FIGURED 

2612
01:32:48,829 --> 01:32:50,197
OUT. GOOD NEWS IS, A LOT OF THAT

2613
01:32:50,197 --> 01:32:53,301
WORK IS ALREADY BEEN GOING ON 

2614
01:32:53,301 --> 01:32:56,237
FOR OVER A YEAR AS REPORTED IN 

2615
01:32:56,237 --> 01:33:01,676
SOME OF THIS EARLY REPORTING. 

2616
01:33:01,676 --> 01:33:02,343
ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW. IMPORTANT 

2617
01:33:02,343 --> 01:33:03,444
LIMITATION WITH THAT, IT HASN'T

2618
01:33:03,444 --> 01:33:08,950
BEEN THAT WORK -- THAT WORK 

2619
01:33:08,950 --> 01:33:11,018
HASN'T BEEN FULLY OPTIMIZED AND

2620
01:33:11,018 --> 01:33:11,652
VETTED WITH TODAY'S DECISION 

2621
01:33:11,652 --> 01:33:15,890
MAKERS. IN THE -- ADMINISTRATION

2622
01:33:15,890 --> 01:33:17,692
AND MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES. AND 

2623
01:33:17,692 --> 01:33:22,897
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE 

2624
01:33:22,897 --> 01:33:23,664
SOME CONTINUING ONGOING 

2625
01:33:23,664 --> 01:33:24,398
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT REFINEMENT, 

2626
01:33:24,398 --> 01:33:26,300
WHAT'S IN SCOPE VERSUS OUT OF 

2627
01:33:26,300 --> 01:33:33,174
SCOPE AND ONE EXAMPLE SOME 

2628
01:33:33,174 --> 01:33:35,076
CONVERSATIONS AROUND SHOULD IT 

2629
01:33:35,076 --> 01:33:35,843
INCLUDE ORGANIZATIONS WITH DIRE 

2630
01:33:35,843 --> 01:33:39,246
CAPITAL NEEDS THAT AREN'T 

2631
01:33:39,246 --> 01:33:40,915
TECHNICALLY ON THE SEATTLE 

2632
01:33:40,915 --> 01:33:42,483
CENTER CAMPUS? THAT'S AN OPEN 

2633
01:33:42,483 --> 01:33:44,719
QUESTION TODAY. I THINK AT A 

2634
01:33:44,719 --> 01:33:47,622
HIGH LEVEL, HOW I'M APPROACHING

2635
01:33:47,622 --> 01:33:50,558
THIS IS A MORE URGENT PRIORITY 

2636
01:33:50,558 --> 01:33:57,732
AT THE PRINCIPAL LEVEL IS YOU 

2637
01:33:57,732 --> 01:33:58,299
NEED ROBUST PUBLIC-PRIVATE 

2638
01:33:58,299 --> 01:33:59,467
PARTNERSHIPS. AND IF THERE'S --

2639
01:33:59,467 --> 01:34:03,738
IF WE HAVE AN ABILITY TO SECURE 

2640
01:34:03,738 --> 01:34:05,039
A HIGH LEVEL OF MATCHING OR 

2641
01:34:05,039 --> 01:34:06,941
DOLLARS TO EXCEED WHATEVER THE 

2642
01:34:06,941 --> 01:34:07,441
CITY INVESTMENT, WORTH 

2643
01:34:07,441 --> 01:34:11,979
EXPLORING. BUT WE NEED TO BE 

2644
01:34:11,979 --> 01:34:13,180
DISCIPLINED AS WELL IN OUR 

2645
01:34:13,180 --> 01:34:14,849
APPROACH. THE CITY CAN'T BE ALL

2646
01:34:14,849 --> 01:34:15,416
THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE AT ALL 

2647
01:34:15,416 --> 01:34:19,220
TIMES AND EVEN IF WE AS DECISION

2648
01:34:19,220 --> 01:34:23,724
MAKERS THE MAYOR AND THIS 

2649
01:34:23,724 --> 01:34:26,494
COUNCIL, DECIDED THAT WE THOUGHT

2650
01:34:26,494 --> 01:34:28,829
AS A POLICY MATTER IS WORTHWHILE

2651
01:34:28,829 --> 01:34:30,531
TO EXPAND OUTSIDE THE SEATTLE 

2652
01:34:30,531 --> 01:34:31,298
CENTER THERE MIGHT BE LEGAL 

2653
01:34:31,298 --> 01:34:34,235
HURDLES TO THAT AS WELL. BECAUSE

2654
01:34:34,235 --> 01:34:36,971
ONE UNIQUE FEATURE OF THIS IS 

2655
01:34:36,971 --> 01:34:42,710
THERE IS A SAFEGUARD BAKED IN 

2656
01:34:42,710 --> 01:34:46,847
WHERE YOU NEED AN INDEPENDENT 

2657
01:34:46,847 --> 01:34:47,848
UNAFFILIATED PERSON TO CERTIFY 

2658
01:34:47,848 --> 01:34:49,884
THAT IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS 

2659
01:34:49,884 --> 01:34:51,585
AND IT FUNDS THE CAPITAL 

2660
01:34:51,585 --> 01:34:52,186
PROJECTS TIED TO THE SEATTLE 

2661
01:34:52,186 --> 01:35:01,195
CENTER THAT WE SAY IT IS. SO 

2662
01:35:01,195 --> 01:35:04,231
THERE'S AN ATTESTATION 

2663
01:35:04,231 --> 01:35:04,865
REQUIREMENT. WE ARE ESTABLISHING

2664
01:35:04,865 --> 01:35:07,702
THE FRAMEWORK. AND I'M EXCITED 

2665
01:35:07,702 --> 01:35:08,335
ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS. WE STILL 

2666
01:35:08,335 --> 01:35:10,271
NEED TO FINALIZE A LOT OF 

2667
01:35:10,271 --> 01:35:11,172
DETAILS. ONE THING WE KNOW FOR 

2668
01:35:11,172 --> 01:35:13,240
SURE THE ARMORY IN SCOPE AND WE 

2669
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:14,909
CALL THAT OUT AND EXPANDED 

2670
01:35:14,909 --> 01:35:18,979
VETERANS MEMORIAL WALL. OR 

2671
01:35:18,979 --> 01:35:21,215
MEMORIAL OF SOME SORT. WE KNOW 

2672
01:35:21,215 --> 01:35:26,687
THAT IT'S PART OF THE SEATTLE 

2673
01:35:26,687 --> 01:35:30,357
MEMORIAL STADIUM, PUBLIC-PRIVATE

2674
01:35:30,357 --> 01:35:30,991
PARTNERSHIP RENOVATION THAT'S 

2675
01:35:30,991 --> 01:35:34,729
CURRENTLY ONGOING, WE ARE 

2676
01:35:34,729 --> 01:35:35,362
RENOVATING THE EXISTING MEMORIAL

2677
01:35:35,362 --> 01:35:38,833
WALL. IT'S A TERRIFIC PLACE TO 

2678
01:35:38,833 --> 01:35:39,867
HONOR SOME OF OUR CITY'S FALLEN

2679
01:35:39,867 --> 01:35:45,172
SERVICE MEMBERS. BUT A COUPLE 

2680
01:35:45,172 --> 01:35:46,907
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO 

2681
01:35:46,907 --> 01:35:47,875
SEEING THAT REFRESHED AND 

2682
01:35:47,875 --> 01:35:50,177
REFURBISHED MEMORIAL WALL. IT'S

2683
01:35:50,177 --> 01:35:50,811
IMPORTANT PART OF OUR CITY'S 

2684
01:35:50,811 --> 01:35:58,119
HISTORY. THAT SAID, IT HONORS 

2685
01:35:58,119 --> 01:36:02,623
WORLD WAR II VETERANS WHO ARE 

2686
01:36:02,623 --> 01:36:06,060

2749
01:38:10,684 --> 01:38:11,886
PROJECT CAN COME INTO FRUITION

01:38:11,886 --> 01:38:14,021
AND CAN BE MEANINGFUL. AND I 

2751
01:38:14,021 --> 01:38:14,922
KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE 

2752
01:38:14,922 --> 01:38:17,925
THINK ABOUT A LOT WHEN WE'RE 

2753
01:38:17,925 --> 01:38:18,792

2754
01:38:18,792 --> 01:38:21,862

2755
01:38:21,862 --> 01:38:23,931
THEN 100% DESIGN. AND THEN BEING

2756
01:38:23,931 --> 01:38:27,268
ABLE TO GET SHOVELS IN THE 

2757
01:38:27,268 --> 01:38:28,903
GROUND. CAN YOU JUST SPEAK TO 

2758

IN SO MUCH AS IT REFERENCES 

2760
01:38:35,276 --> 01:38:38,445
POTENTIAL BUDGET ACTION FOR 

2761
01:38:38,445 --> 01:38:39,847
2027, 2028? 

2762
01:38:39,847 --> 01:38:40,614
>> SURE. YEAH. AS YOU JUST 

2763
01:38:40,614 --> 01:38:41,782
DESCRIBED, WHATEVER YOU ARE 

2764
01:38:41,782 --> 01:38:42,416
TALKING ABOUT CAPITAL PROJECTS 

2765
01:38:42,416 --> 01:38:43,250
YOU KNOW, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT 

2766
01:38:43,250 --> 01:38:43,917
NOW, YOU KNOW, IN THE NEAR 

2767
01:38:43,917 --> 01:38:46,553
FUTURE. IN THE LONG OUT FUTURE 

2768
01:38:46,553 --> 01:38:48,389
YOU KNOW AND IT'S SORT OF A 

2769
01:38:48,389 --> 01:38:50,724
ROLLING PROCESS. AND I THINK 

2770
01:38:50,724 --> 01:38:51,725
THAT THE STRUCTURE OF THE 

2771
01:38:51,725 --> 01:38:52,793
RESOLUTION, ATTEMPTS TO DO THAT 

2772
01:38:52,793 --> 01:38:55,562
IN A WAY THAT'S CLEAR SO IT 

2773
01:38:55,562 --> 01:38:57,564
DOES IDENTIFY WHAT WOULD BE 

2774
01:38:57,564 --> 01:38:59,533
GOING FORWARD IN THE LONG HAUL. 

2775
01:38:59,533 --> 01:39:03,203
FOR THE SEATTLE CENTER. BUT THEN

2776
01:39:03,203 --> 01:39:04,505
IT POINTS TO THINGS THAT COULD 

2777
01:39:04,505 --> 01:39:05,105
HAPPEN AND IT IDENTIFIES 

2778
01:39:05,105 --> 01:39:07,441
PRIORITIES FOR THE COUNCIL AND 

2779
01:39:07,441 --> 01:39:10,311
MAYOR IN THE NEAR TERM. THAT 

2780
01:39:10,311 --> 01:39:11,312
ALLUDES TO SOME EXPECTATIONS AND

2781
01:39:11,312 --> 01:39:12,413
LOOKING TOWARD WHAT COULD HAPPEN

2782
01:39:12,413 --> 01:39:14,948
IN THE BUDGET THIS FALL TO START

2783
01:39:14,948 --> 01:39:16,183
TO SUPPORT CAPITAL PLANNING FOR 

2784
01:39:16,183 --> 01:39:16,750
EXAMPLE WITHIN THE SEATTLE 

2785
01:39:16,750 --> 01:39:19,953
CENTER. TO GET THOSE PROJECTS 

2786
01:39:19,953 --> 01:39:21,455
READY. SO THAT THEY'RE STAGED 

2787
01:39:21,455 --> 01:39:23,557
FOR FUTURE FUNDING AND 

2788
01:39:23,557 --> 01:39:24,591
INVESTMENT AND TAKING THEM ON. 

2789
01:39:24,591 --> 01:39:26,527
DOES THAT HELP TO ANSWER THE 

2790
01:39:26,527 --> 01:39:27,895
QUESTION? I MEAN, IT DOES 

2791
01:39:27,895 --> 01:39:29,797
STRADDLE AT LEAST TWO SORT OF 

2792
01:39:29,797 --> 01:39:30,764
TIME SCALES RIGHT? THE NEAR TERM

2793
01:39:30,764 --> 01:39:34,335
AND THAT'S SORT OF MID TO LONG 

2794
01:39:34,335 --> 01:39:35,202
TERM. I HOPE THAT'S HELPFUL. 

2795
01:39:35,202 --> 01:39:35,402
YEAH. 

2796
01:39:35,402 --> 01:39:38,739
>> JUST TO ADD ON TO THAT 

2797
01:39:38,739 --> 01:39:39,773
COUNCILMEMBER. YOU KNOW, ONE OF 

2798
01:39:39,773 --> 01:39:42,776
THE ITEMS ON THE RESOLUTION I 

2799
01:39:42,776 --> 01:39:44,345

2800
01:39:44,345 --> 01:39:47,281
BUDGET THAT WE'RE JUST NOW 

2801
01:39:47,281 --> 01:39:48,615

2807
01:39:59,927 --> 01:40:03,030
ESPECIALLY AGAIN IF WE'RE GOING

2808
01:40:03,030 --> 01:40:05,499
TO ASK VOTERS TO APPROVE AN 

2809
01:40:05,499 --> 01:40:07,601
INVESTMENT AT THE SCALE THAT WE 

2810
01:40:07,601 --> 01:40:09,203
ALL BELIEVE THAT THE CENTER 

2811
01:40:09,203 --> 01:40:10,804
DESERVES. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE 

2812
01:40:10,804 --> 01:40:14,675
THAT WE'VE GOT CAPACITY AND 

2813
01:40:14,675 --> 01:40:16,443
WE'RE CONTEMPLATING POSITION 

2814
01:40:16,443 --> 01:40:16,877
AUTHORITY FOR YOUR 

2815
01:40:16,877 --> 01:40:17,745
CONSIDERATION. WHEN WE TRANSMIT 

2816
01:40:17,745 --> 01:40:21,215
THE BUDGET LATER THIS YEAR TO 

2817
01:40:21,215 --> 01:40:21,949

DIRECTOR ENGSTROM. AND HE HAS 

2821
01:40:30,758 --> 01:40:33,761
TAKEN THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND 

2822
01:40:33,761 --> 01:40:34,895
ADD ANOTHER ANALOGY TO THE FRAY 

2823
01:40:34,895 --> 01:40:37,564
AND IS COMMITTED TO BE AS 

2824
01:40:37,564 --> 01:40:38,198

AND THE OTHER -- REST OF THE 

2832
01:40:54,281 --> 01:40:56,850
CITY AROUND WHAT'S REALLY 

2833
01:40:56,850 --> 01:41:00,187
NEEDED. BUT THE PLANNING IS 

2834
01:41:00,187 --> 01:41:01,688
ONGOING. AND WE PLAN ON 

2835
01:41:01,688 --> 01:41:03,056
SUBMITTING BUDGET AUTHORITY OR 

2836
01:41:03,056 --> 01:41:03,924
BUDGET REQUESTS TO MAKE SURE 

2837
01:41:03,924 --> 01:41:06,226
THAT WE GET EVEN MORE EXPERTISE 

2838
01:41:06,226 --> 01:41:10,497
TO BUILD OUT A REALLY 

2839
01:41:10,497 --> 01:41:11,532
COMPREHENSIVE CAPITAL PROPOSAL. 

2840
01:41:11,665 --> 01:41:13,600
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND THEN I

2841
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,604
WANT TO ASK A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION

2842
01:41:17,604 --> 01:41:20,507
AND I'M LOOKING NOW AT -- 

2843
01:41:20,507 --> 01:41:22,943
SECTION 3 WHICH IS ON PAGE 21. I

2844
01:41:22,943 --> 01:41:23,644
AS COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ ALSO 

2845
01:41:23,644 --> 01:41:25,379
CALLS US TO USE OUR PAGE 

2846
01:41:25,379 --> 01:41:27,281
NUMBERS. SO I WANT TO ASK YOU AS

2847
01:41:27,281 --> 01:41:28,015
I'M LOOKING AT THIS, THIS IS 

2848
01:41:28,015 --> 01:41:29,817
HELPFUL BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS 

2849
01:41:29,817 --> 01:41:31,952
SORT OF SAYING WHAT COUNCIL IS 

2850
01:41:31,952 --> 01:41:32,686
REQUESTING THE EXECUTIVE TO 

2851
01:41:32,686 --> 01:41:35,522
DIRECT AND COORDINATE. HOWEVER, 

2852
01:41:35,522 --> 01:41:39,059
I VERY MUCH READ THIS AS NOT 

2853
01:41:39,059 --> 01:41:40,694
BEING AN EXCLUSIVE LIST TO WHAT 

2854
01:41:40,694 --> 01:41:45,933
COULD BE POTENTIALLY CONSIDERED.

2855
01:41:45,933 --> 01:41:47,100
SO THIS IS PROVIDING SOME THINGS

2856
01:41:47,100 --> 01:41:48,101
WE DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE 

2857
01:41:48,101 --> 01:41:48,902
EXPLORED. IF THERE ARE SOME 

2858
01:41:48,902 --> 01:41:50,471
THINGS THAT NEED TO BE EXPLORED 

2859
01:41:50,471 --> 01:41:52,339
OUTSIDE OF THIS LIST, THIS 

2860
01:41:52,339 --> 01:41:54,374
RESOLUTION DOES NOT PRECLUDE 

2861
01:41:54,374 --> 01:41:57,411
THAT EXPLORATION. IS THAT 

2862
01:41:57,411 --> 01:41:57,678
CORRECT? 

2863
01:41:57,678 --> 01:41:58,245
>> THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. 

2864
01:41:58,245 --> 01:41:59,079
>> TRUNK SO MUCH AND THEN JUST 

2865
01:41:59,079 --> 01:42:03,083
HAVE ONE COMMENT WHICH I DON'T 

2866
01:42:03,083 --> 01:42:04,585
USUALLY DO BUT OCCASIONALLY LIKE

2867
01:42:04,585 --> 01:42:05,619
TO THROW ONE IN. THE REASON IS I

2868
01:42:05,619 --> 01:42:08,388
THINK AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE 

2869
01:42:08,388 --> 01:42:09,656
PREVIOUS PANEL DISCUSSION WHICH 

2870
01:42:09,656 --> 01:42:10,624
WAS SO HELP. , THERE'S SO MUCH 

2871
01:42:10,624 --> 01:42:13,560

2872
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:14,928

2873
01:42:14,928 --> 01:42:15,662
MEANINGFUL SPACE FOR SO MANY 

2874
01:42:15,662 --> 01:42:18,398
PEOPLE IN OUR CITY. I HAVE SO 

2875

IN THE WATER FOUNTAIN AND I KNOW

2878
01:42:24,905 --> 01:42:26,173
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. AND I 

2879
01:42:26,173 --> 01:42:28,075

THERE ARE A LOT OF 

2888
01:42:42,656 --> 01:42:43,590
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AT SEATTLE 

2889
01:42:43,590 --> 01:42:46,126
CENTER. AND WITH OUR PARTNERS 

2890
01:42:46,126 --> 01:42:46,793

2892
01:42:48,562 --> 01:42:49,162
BUSINESSES THAT ARE LOCATED

ROBUST DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT 

2897
01:42:56,503 --> 01:42:57,971
MIGHT BE INCLUDED IN A POTENTIAL

2898
01:42:57,971 --> 01:42:59,439
BALLOT INITIATIVE AND I WANT TO 

2899
01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:00,741

2900
01:43:00,741 --> 01:43:02,342
CLARITY AS WE'RE DISCUSSING

01:43:02,342 --> 01:43:04,344
THIS FOR THE PUBLIC OF WHAT THE 

2902
01:43:04,344 --> 01:43:05,445
RESOLUTION SORT OF DOES AND DOES

2903
01:43:05,445 --> 01:43:07,314
NOT LOCK US INTO IN THE FUTURE. 

2904
01:43:07,314 --> 01:43:10,317

01:43:30,571 --> 01:43:32,306
OUT BRIEFLY FOR ANOTHER MEETING.

2916
01:43:32,306 --> 01:43:33,173
BUT SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND

2917
01:43:33,173 --> 01:43:35,175
THERE'S A FEW WAYS THAT I'M 

2918
01:43:35,175 --> 01:43:36,777
THINKING ABOUT IT. ONE, I'M 

2919
01:43:36,777 --> 01:43:38,812
SUPER EXCITED AND WE HAVE THE 

2920
01:43:38,812 --> 01:43:41,014
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ECODISTRICT

2921
01:43:41,014 --> 01:43:42,683
AND RESILIENCY HUBS. YOU KNOW, 

2922
01:43:42,683 --> 01:43:44,418
THERE'S BOTH SORT OF THE COST 

2923
01:43:44,418 --> 01:43:46,653
OF WHAT THIS MIGHT COST AND 

2924
01:43:46,653 --> 01:43:48,855
FINDING THOSE RESOURCES AND THEN

2925
01:43:48,855 --> 01:43:50,691
THERE'S THE BENEFITS. AND I 

2926
01:43:50,691 --> 01:43:53,760
THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE MANY 

2927
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:54,328
DIFFERENT BENEFITS SEATTLE 

2928
01:43:54,328 --> 01:44:00,267
CENTER PROVIDES AND SO I THINK 

2929
01:44:00,267 --> 01:44:01,468
ABOUT THE PUBLIC HEALTH CARE 

2930
01:44:01,468 --> 01:44:02,636
CLINIC THAT WAS PROVIDED THERE. 

2931
01:44:02,636 --> 01:44:04,171
I THINK ABOUT YOU KNOW, WHERE WE

2932
01:44:04,171 --> 01:44:05,105
MIGHT NEED TO SERVE OUR 

2933
01:44:05,105 --> 01:44:07,207
COMMUNITY IF WE HAVE A MAJOR 

2934
01:44:07,207 --> 01:44:09,543
NATURAL DISASTER IN THE SEATTLE 

2935
01:44:09,543 --> 01:44:10,777
CENTER SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE A 

2936
01:44:10,777 --> 01:44:13,814
GREAT PLACE IF WE PLAN IT RIGHT 

2937
01:44:13,814 --> 01:44:15,549
TO BE THIS RESILIENCY HUB. I 

2938
01:44:15,549 --> 01:44:18,819
THINK ABOUT THIS IDEA OF THE 

2939
01:44:18,819 --> 01:44:21,855
ECODISTRICT. AND YOU KNOW, AS 

2940
01:44:21,855 --> 01:44:22,456
WE'RE GOING THROUGH THESE 

2941
01:44:22,456 --> 01:44:23,123
DISCUSSIONS IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE

2942
01:44:23,123 --> 01:44:25,325
PLAN ABOUT HOW DO WE HAVE YOU 

2943
01:44:25,325 --> 01:44:26,593
KNOW, A TREE CANOPY AND HOW DO 

2944
01:44:26,593 --> 01:44:28,929
WE PLAN FOR CLIMATE CHANGE, YOU 

2945
01:44:28,929 --> 01:44:30,464
KNOW, COULD, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 

2946
01:44:30,464 --> 01:44:32,199
CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA, COULD THIS

2947
01:44:32,199 --> 01:44:35,269
BE SORT OF CLIMATE PLEDGE 

2948
01:44:35,269 --> 01:44:36,503
SEATTLE CENTER? WHERE THE ENTIRE

2949
01:44:36,503 --> 01:44:39,706
CENTER IS REALLY ON THE LEADING 

2950
01:44:39,706 --> 01:44:41,842
FOREGROUND OF, YOU KNOW, 

2951
01:44:41,842 --> 01:44:44,945
IMAGINING HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR,

2952
01:44:44,945 --> 01:44:46,246
YOU KNOW, NEXT 50, 100 YEARS. 

2953
01:44:46,246 --> 01:44:48,015
AND BE A SORT OF A THOUGHT 

2954
01:44:48,015 --> 01:44:49,750
LEADER IN HA REGARD. AND AS WE 

2955
01:44:49,750 --> 01:44:53,387
THINK ABOUT THESE MULTIPLE USES,

2956
01:44:53,387 --> 01:44:54,888
DOES THAT OPEN UP DIFFERENT 

2957
01:44:54,888 --> 01:44:57,424
FUNDING SORT OF PARTNERS WHETHER

2958
01:44:57,424 --> 01:45:00,627
IT'S LIKE FEMA GRANTS IF WE'RE

2959
01:45:00,627 --> 01:45:03,330
TALKING ABOUT RESILIENCY. OPEN 

2960
01:45:03,330 --> 01:45:05,165
UP OTHER PARTNERSHIP 

2961
01:45:05,165 --> 01:45:05,766
OPPORTUNITIES WITH, YOU KNOW, 

2962
01:45:05,766 --> 01:45:09,369
OTHER BUSINESSES OR OTHER FOLKS 

2963
01:45:09,369 --> 01:45:14,307
WHO WANT TO BE LEADERS IN THE 

2964
01:45:14,307 --> 01:45:17,611
CLIMATE, YOU KNOW, ADDRESSING 

2965
01:45:17,611 --> 01:45:18,278
CLIMATE CHANGE? ONE OTHER 

2966
01:45:18,278 --> 01:45:20,013
THOUGHT IS THAT, YOU KNOW, AS I 

2967
01:45:20,013 --> 01:45:23,450
LOOK AT SORT OF THE ECONOMIC 

2968
01:45:23,450 --> 01:45:24,718
REVENUES GENERATED BY THE 

2969
01:45:24,718 --> 01:45:28,622
SEATTLE CENTER AND I THINK ABOUT

2970
01:45:28,622 --> 01:45:30,457
THESE OTHER MAJOR FACILITIES, 

2971
01:45:30,457 --> 01:45:32,459
YOU KNOW, OUR STADIUMS AND/OR 

2972
01:45:32,459 --> 01:45:34,061
THE CONVENTION CENTER AND 

2973
01:45:34,061 --> 01:45:35,495
OFTENTIMES THIS IS NOT JUST A 

2974
01:45:35,495 --> 01:45:36,863
SEATTLE ASSET. THIS IS A 

2975
01:45:36,863 --> 01:45:40,033
REGIONAL ASSET. THIS IS A 

2976
01:45:40,033 --> 01:45:41,968
STATEWIDE ASSET. AND SO I WOULD 

2977
01:45:41,968 --> 01:45:46,306
REALLY HOPE THAT OUR, YOU KNOW, 

2978
01:45:46,306 --> 01:45:47,341
REGIONAL PARTNERS, OUR STATE 

2979
01:45:47,341 --> 01:45:48,642
PARTNERS, RECOGNIZE THE VALUE 

2980
01:45:48,642 --> 01:45:51,778
THAT THIS SEATTLE CENTER DRIVES 

2981
01:45:51,778 --> 01:45:54,414
IN TERMS OF OUR ECONOMY AND THE 

2982
01:45:54,414 --> 01:45:55,716
BENEFITS TO NOT JUST THE CITY, 

2983
01:45:55,716 --> 01:45:56,483
BUT TO, YOU KNOW, TO THE COUNTY 

2984
01:45:56,483 --> 01:46:00,087
AND TO THE STATE. AND, YOU KNOW,

2985
01:46:00,087 --> 01:46:08,528
CAN WE RECAPTURE SOME OF THOSE 

2986
01:46:08,528 --> 01:46:09,129
BENEFITS SOMEHOW THROUGH SOME 

2987
01:46:09,129 --> 01:46:10,664
CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS? AND 

2988
01:46:10,664 --> 01:46:12,232
FINALLY GOING BACK TO THE 

2989
01:46:12,232 --> 01:46:13,066
ECODISTRICT COMPONENT. YOU KNOW,

2990
01:46:13,066 --> 01:46:16,937
I MET WITH THE SEATTLE AQUARIUM 

2991
01:46:16,937 --> 01:46:17,571
RECENTLY DOWN IN THE WATERFRONT 

2992
01:46:17,571 --> 01:46:20,207
AND THEY WANT TO REALLY BE 

2993
01:46:20,207 --> 01:46:22,509
THOUGHT LEADERS IN SORT OF 

2994
01:46:22,509 --> 01:46:23,944
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE AND 

2995
01:46:23,944 --> 01:46:27,280
SPECIFICALLY IMPACTS TO OUR, YOU

2996
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:28,482
KNOW, WATERWAYS AND OUR MARITIME

2997
01:46:28,482 --> 01:46:30,183
AREAS. AND, YOU KNOW, COULD THIS

2998
01:46:30,183 --> 01:46:32,452
SEATTLE CENTER KIND OF BE THIS 

2999
01:46:32,452 --> 01:46:34,387
OTHER COMPONENT TO IT? YOU KNOW 

3000
01:46:34,387 --> 01:46:36,089
THIS STRONG CONNECTION TO OUR 

3001
01:46:36,089 --> 01:46:39,426
WATERFRONT AND THEN THE SEATTLE 

3002
01:46:39,426 --> 01:46:42,229
CENTER AND AGAIN, THESE -- COULD

3003
01:46:42,229 --> 01:46:45,031
THESE BE LEADERS AS WE PREPARE 

3004
01:46:45,031 --> 01:46:47,601
FOR THE FUTURE? SO AND I'LL 

3005
01:46:47,601 --> 01:46:51,471
JUST SORT OF SAY WITH QUESTION 

3006
01:46:51,471 --> 01:46:54,207
IN TERMS OF THE PLANNING, THE 

3007
01:46:54,207 --> 01:46:54,808
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, YOU KNOW, 

3008
01:46:54,808 --> 01:46:56,643
WHAT IS THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE?

3009
01:46:56,643 --> 01:46:58,478
HOW DO WE START TO IDENTIFY 

3010
01:46:58,478 --> 01:47:02,149
THOSE PARTNERS AND ENGAGE WITH 

3011
01:47:02,149 --> 01:47:02,983
THE REGIONAL AND STATEWIDE 

3012
01:47:02,983 --> 01:47:06,853
PARTNERS? AND ALSO HOW DO WE 

3013
01:47:06,853 --> 01:47:08,889
ENGAGE WITH OUR TRIBAL PARTNERS?

3014
01:47:08,889 --> 01:47:10,524
AGAIN, AS WE REIMAGINE THE 

3015
01:47:10,524 --> 01:47:11,958
SEATTLE CENTER, AS WE LOOK TO 

3016
01:47:11,958 --> 01:47:13,326
SOME OF OUR STRONGEST STEWARDS 

3017
01:47:13,326 --> 01:47:15,295
OF OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, YOU 

3018
01:47:15,295 --> 01:47:18,231
KNOW, IT'S OFTENTIMES OUR 

3019
01:47:18,231 --> 01:47:18,999
TRIBAL PARTNERS. BOTH THE 

3020
01:47:18,999 --> 01:47:21,301
HISTORY, THE PRESENT 

3021
01:47:21,301 --> 01:47:22,402
CONTRIBUTIONS AND THE FUTURE 

3022
01:47:22,402 --> 01:47:24,070
CONTRIBUTIONS. YOU KNOW, I JUST 

3023
01:47:24,070 --> 01:47:25,605
WANT TO SORT OF SUGGEST AND 

3024
01:47:25,605 --> 01:47:30,877
INSIST THAT WE ENGAGE WITH OUR 

3025
01:47:30,877 --> 01:47:32,546
TRIBAL PARTNERS AS WELL. 

3026
01:47:32,546 --> 01:47:34,548
>> JUST A BRO RESPONSE. THANK 

3027
01:47:34,548 --> 01:47:35,148
YOU COUNCILMEMBER FOR THAT. I 

3028
01:47:35,148 --> 01:47:37,250
THINK THIS GOES BACK TO THE 

3029
01:47:37,250 --> 01:47:38,518
COMMENT THAT COUNCILMEMBER 

3030
01:47:38,518 --> 01:47:41,054
FOSTER MADE EARLIER ABOUT THE 

3031
01:47:41,054 --> 01:47:42,422
COST OF NOT MOVING FORWARD. AND 

3032
01:47:42,422 --> 01:47:47,060
OBVIOUSLY I THINK WE KIND OF 

3033
01:47:47,060 --> 01:47:49,329
DISSECTED WHAT THOSE COSTS ARE. 

3034
01:47:49,329 --> 01:47:50,497
AND AGAIN, IRONICALLY, THE FACT 

3035
01:47:50,497 --> 01:47:52,566
THAT WE HAVE NOT MOVED ALLOWS US

3036
01:47:52,566 --> 01:47:56,336
A HOLT OF SPACE TO BE AS 

3037
01:47:56,336 --> 01:47:58,538
THOUGHTFUL AS POSSIBLE. AND LOOK

3038
01:47:58,538 --> 01:47:59,673
AT AGAIN, NEW PARTNERS THAT, YOU

3039
01:47:59,673 --> 01:48:03,176
KNOW, MAYBE TEN YEARS AGO OR 15 

3040
01:48:03,176 --> 01:48:04,744
YEARS AGO WEREN'T THERE. NEW 

3041
01:48:04,744 --> 01:48:08,281
TECHNOLOGIES THAT WEREN'T THERE

3042
01:48:08,281 --> 01:48:12,118
A DECADE AGO. WHAT I FEEL REALLY

3043
01:48:12,118 --> 01:48:13,253
BOLSTERED BY IN ALL THE THINGS 

3044
01:48:13,253 --> 01:48:16,156
YOU LAID OUT AND HAVE SUGGESTED 

3045
01:48:16,156 --> 01:48:17,290
WE ENGAGE, WE'VE GOT AGAIN 

3046
01:48:17,290 --> 01:48:19,793
GREAT LEADERSHIP IN OUR NEW 

3047
01:48:19,793 --> 01:48:22,529
ACTING DIRECTOR. I THINK THE 

3048
01:48:22,529 --> 01:48:24,764
SEATTLE CENTER FOUNDATION IS A 

3049
01:48:24,764 --> 01:48:25,799
THE STRONGEST THAT IT'S EVER 

3050
01:48:25,799 --> 01:48:27,601
BEEN UNDER THEIR NEW LEADERSHIP 

3051
01:48:27,601 --> 01:48:32,105
IN ROB JOHNSON. I THINK YOU HAVE

3052
01:48:32,105 --> 01:48:34,808
GOT A DYNAMIC COALITION OF LABOR

3053
01:48:34,808 --> 01:48:35,742
AND BUSINESS AND ARTS COMMUNITY 

3054
01:48:35,742 --> 01:48:36,843
THAT, YOU KNOW, IN MANY WAYS IN 

3055
01:48:36,843 --> 01:48:38,712
THE PAST YOU KNOW, THEY'VE 

3056
01:48:38,712 --> 01:48:39,946
ALWAYS BEEN THERE. BUT HERE'S 

3057
01:48:39,946 --> 01:48:41,448
AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY 

3058
01:48:41,448 --> 01:48:42,983
GALVANIZE AROUND THIS. AND BRING

3059
01:48:42,983 --> 01:48:44,818
ALL THESE OTHER PARTNERS THAT 

3060
01:48:44,818 --> 01:48:45,685
YOU HAD MENTIONED TO THE TABLE. 

3061
01:48:45,685 --> 01:48:49,155
SO I THINK WE'RE -- WE'RE IN A

3062
01:48:49,155 --> 01:48:50,557
REALLY, YOU KNOW, CRITICAL TIME.

3063
01:48:50,557 --> 01:48:51,458
AND YOU KNOW, AND EXCITING 

3064
01:48:51,458 --> 01:48:54,461

3065
01:48:54,461 --> 01:48:54,928
PIECES TOGETHER. SO. 

3066
01:48:54,928 --> 01:48:58,098
>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU AND IF I

DISCUSSION TODAY. SO THAT WE -- 

3070
01:49:02,469 --> 01:49:05,038
I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE A 

3071
01:49:05,038 --> 01:49:06,273
WHILE TO DO THE PLANNING FOR 

3072
01:49:06,273 --> 01:49:07,040

3073
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:09,142

3074
01:49:09,142 --> 01:49:10,677
WHAT THE CAMPUS, YOU KNOW, HOW 

3075
01:49:10,677 --> 01:49:11,945
DO WE MAKE THE MOST OF THIS 

3076
01:49:11,945 --> 01:49:12,612
OPPORTUNITY? AND I THINK IT'S 

3077
01:49:12,612 --> 01:49:14,314
GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO 

3078
01:49:14,314 --> 01:49:16,750
ENGAGE WITH THE PUBLIC. SO I'M 

3079
01:49:16,750 --> 01:49:20,287
GLAD THAT WE'RE GETTING STARTED

3080
01:49:20,287 --> 01:49:20,954
EARLY. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S SOME 

3081
01:49:20,954 --> 01:49:22,989
URGENCY JUST GIVEN THE CONDITION

3082
01:49:22,989 --> 01:49:24,157

3083
01:49:24,157 --> 01:49:27,861

CAMPUS AS WELL. AND IT'S A 

3106

THE INDIGENOUS ADVISORY OUTREACH

3114
01:50:38,164 --> 01:50:39,432
AND ALL THOSE PIECES ARE GERMANE

3115
01:50:39,432 --> 01:50:41,201

3116
01:50:41,201 --> 01:50:42,569
NOW THE L. A. BAY CONNECTIONS. 

3117

02:05:16,008 --> 02:05:17,776
THE END OF THE SUMMER IS JUST 

3484
02:05:17,776 --> 02:05:20,312

YOU'LL SEE IN THESE SLIDES AND 

3505
02:06:03,155 --> 02:06:03,689
WHEN WE COME BACK FOR 

3506
02:06:03,689 --> 02:06:07,593
CONVERSATION IN THE FALL WHICH 

3507
02:06:07,593 --> 02:06:11,497
REALLY EMPHASIZES LOWERING 

3508
02:06:11,497 --> 02:06:12,364
BARRIERS TO ACCESS TO 

3509
02:06:12,364 --> 02:06:12,865

3512
02:06:19,705 --> 02:06:21,307
FOCUSING ON THESE STRATEGIES FOR

3513
02:06:21,307 --> 02:06:23,142
NEAR TERM IMPLEMENTATION, I WANT

3514
02:06:23,142 --> 02:06:26,345

02:06:26,345 --> 02:06:30,115
OVERALL GOALS FOR THESE. THE 

3516
02:06:30,115 --> 02:06:32,084
BEST WAY TO ADDRESS UNPERMITTED

3518
02:06:33,118 --> 02:06:35,254

3524
02:06:44,797 --> 02:06:45,798
OPPORTUNITY, PROVIDED BY THE 

3525
02:06:45,798 --> 02:06:48,767

3526
02:06:48,767 --> 02:06:49,835

PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY. . WE WANT 

3531
02:06:58,610 --> 02:07:02,915

3532
02:07:02,915 --> 02:07:04,350
LIKELIHOOD OUCH FOODBORNE 

3533
02:07:04,350 --> 02:07:04,984
ILLNESS OUTBREAKS DURING FIFA 

3534
02:07:04,984 --> 02:07:05,751
AND LEVERAGE THIS MOMENT WHEN 

3535
02:07:05,751 --> 02:07:07,686
THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE WANTING TO

02:07:07,686 --> 02:07:10,322

3541
02:07:20,132 --> 02:07:20,799
FOR IMPLEMENTATION THIS SUMMER. 

3542
02:07:20,799 --> 02:07:22,334

3543
02:07:22,334 --> 02:07:24,803
AND COME BACK TO SHARE WHAT WE 

3544
02:07:24,803 --> 02:07:28,240
LEARN IN THE FALL. I'M GOING TO

3545
02:07:28,240 --> 02:07:30,909
TURN OVER TO ALYSE THE TALK -- 

3546
02:07:30,909 --> 02:07:34,313
TO TALK ABOUT THE STRATEGIES. 

3547
02:07:34,313 --> 02:07:34,880
>> OH SORRY JULIE. 

3548
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:36,782
>> I'LL BE SPEAKING ON THE 

3549
02:07:36,782 --> 02:07:39,184
EDUCATION PIECE OF THIS. AND AS 

3550
02:07:39,184 --> 02:07:42,621
YOU SPOKE TO CHAIR SAKA RIGHT? 

3551
02:07:42,621 --> 02:07:44,056
THE MAIN GOAL IS PUBLIC HEALTH 

3552
02:07:44,056 --> 02:07:45,691
AND SAFETY PROTECTING FOLKS FROM

3553
02:07:45,691 --> 02:07:46,625
FOODBORNE ILLNESS OUTBREAKS AND 

3554
02:07:46,625 --> 02:07:48,293
WHEN WE HAVE PERMITTED FOOD 

3555
02:07:48,293 --> 02:07:49,094
ESTABLISHMENTS RIGHT? THEY'RE 

3556
02:07:49,094 --> 02:07:51,230
GOING THROUGH ALL OF THE 

3557
02:07:51,230 --> 02:07:53,999
PROCESSES AND STEPS TO MAKE SURE

3558
02:07:53,999 --> 02:07:57,002
THAT THEY'RE SAFE FOOD 

3559
02:07:57,002 --> 02:07:58,370
FACILITIES AND HANDLING OF THOSE

3560
02:07:58,370 --> 02:08:02,241
FOODS FOR THE PUBLIC. UNPERMITED

3561
02:08:02,241 --> 02:08:05,677
VENDORS DON'T HAVE THE BENEFIT 

3562
02:08:05,677 --> 02:08:06,712
OF HAVING THOSE SAFE SETUPS 

3563
02:08:06,712 --> 02:08:09,748
RIGHT? AS WELL AS HAVING THE 

3564
02:08:09,748 --> 02:08:10,749
ACCESS TO HAND WASHING, 

3565
02:08:10,749 --> 02:08:12,951
RESTROOMS, KEEPING FOOD 

3566
02:08:12,951 --> 02:08:13,886
APPROPRIATELY HOT AND COLD. 

3567
02:08:13,886 --> 02:08:15,387
WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES 

3568
02:08:15,387 --> 02:08:18,123
THE RISK OF FOODBORNE ILLNESS. 

3569
02:08:18,123 --> 02:08:21,794
SO ON THE EDUCATION PIECE, WE'RE

3570
02:08:21,794 --> 02:08:23,429
COLLABORATING WITH MULTIPLE 

3571
02:08:23,429 --> 02:08:24,697

3572
02:08:24,697 --> 02:08:25,898

THERE'S ALSO ENFORCEMENT. I'LL

3697
02:13:02,474 --> 02:13:04,676
BE TALKING ABOUT A COUPLE OF 

3698
02:13:04,676 --> 02:13:07,646
THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING WITH 

3699
02:13:07,646 --> 02:13:09,881
THIS STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE 

3700
02:13:09,881 --> 02:13:10,882
INTENT AROUND ENFORCEMENT AND 

3701
02:13:10,882 --> 02:13:13,018
PILOTING NEW IDEAS. WE ALREADY 

3702
02:13:13,018 --> 02:13:13,819
HAVE GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIPS

3703
02:13:13,819 --> 02:13:15,320
WITH THE DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE 

3704
02:13:15,320 --> 02:13:19,658

3705
02:13:19,658 --> 02:13:20,158
ENFORCEMENT RELATED TO 

3706
02:13:20,158 --> 02:13:21,093
UNPERMITTED VENDING. BUT WITH 

3707
02:13:21,093 --> 02:13:22,594
THIS RESPONSE WE'RE SEEING HOW 

3708
02:13:22,594 --> 02:13:24,529
WE CAN BUILD UPON THAT GREAT 

3709
02:13:24,529 --> 02:13:27,632
RELATIONSHIP. WE DO FIND THAT 

3710
02:13:27,632 --> 02:13:29,668
SAVVY UNPERMITTED VENDORS KNOW 

3711
02:13:29,668 --> 02:13:30,335
THE LINE BETWEEN JURISDICTIONAL 

3712
02:13:30,335 --> 02:13:31,903
BOUNDARIES AND THEY CAN MOVE 

3713
02:13:31,903 --> 02:13:33,772
INTO AN AREA WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL

3714
02:13:33,772 --> 02:13:35,807
DEPARTMENT WHO IS OUT CANNOT 

3715
02:13:35,807 --> 02:13:38,510
CONNECT WITH THEM. SO TO IMPROVE

3716
02:13:38,510 --> 02:13:40,379
OUR ENFORCEMENT EFFICIENCY AND 

3717
02:13:40,379 --> 02:13:42,781
CAPACITY, WE ARE REVIEWING 

3718
02:13:42,781 --> 02:13:43,448
OPPORTUNITIES TO DELEGATE 

3719
02:13:43,448 --> 02:13:44,049
ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY BETWEEN 

3720
02:13:44,049 --> 02:13:44,816
DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE

3721
02:13:44,816 --> 02:13:46,585
CITY OF SEATTLE. SO WE'RE 

3722
02:13:46,585 --> 02:13:47,652
LOOKING AT SEATTLE CENTER, 

3723
02:13:47,652 --> 02:13:51,256
SEATTLE PARKS AND RECREATION AS 

3724
02:13:51,256 --> 02:13:52,858
WELL AS SDOT. EVERYONE WITHIN --

3725
02:13:52,858 --> 02:13:54,359
WITHIN THE CITY OF SEATTLE HAS 

3726
02:13:54,359 --> 02:13:55,994
AN EDUCATION FIRST MODEL FOR 

3727
02:13:55,994 --> 02:13:57,929
ENFORCEMENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO

02:13:57,929 --> 02:14:00,699
HAVE THAT EDUCATION FIRST 

3729
02:14:00,699 --> 02:14:01,366
APPROACH WITH MANY DELEGATIONS. 

3730
02:14:01,366 --> 02:14:04,403
SO THAT IS KIND OF SOMETHING 

3731
02:14:04,403 --> 02:14:06,171
THAT WE'RE DEVELOPING NOW. IT 

3732
02:14:06,171 --> 02:14:07,639
PROBABLY WON'T HIT THE GROUND 

3733
02:14:07,639 --> 02:14:10,642
BEFORE FIFA IS HERE. BUT IT IS A

3734
02:14:10,642 --> 02:14:13,478
REALLY EXCITING OUTCOME FROM THE

3735
02:14:13,478 --> 02:14:16,381
INITIAL PHASE OF THE S. L. Y.. 

3736
02:14:16,381 --> 02:14:20,419

SAL JOAN AS J. E. T.. THAT'S A 

3742
02:14:30,195 --> 02:14:32,364
NIGHT LIFE FOCUSED TEAM THAT 

3743
02:14:32,364 --> 02:14:35,600
GOES OUT ALREADY AND WE HAVE 

3744
02:14:35,600 --> 02:14:36,368

CLOSELY WITH PARTNER AGENCIES 

3751

AND WE WILL HAVE PATROLS DURING 

3752
02:14:48,680 --> 02:14:51,416
THE GAME DAYS TO MINIMIZE 

3753
02:14:51,416 --> 02:14:53,318
IMPACTS FROM UNPERMITTED

SOME OF THE NEW THINGS WE'RE

02:15:05,330 --> 02:15:09,301

02:16:11,229 --> 02:16:14,032
VENDOR NEEDS TO SHUT DOWN AND 

3799
02:16:14,032 --> 02:16:15,033
FEELING FRUSTRATED BY THAT. SO

CAN YOU SPEAK MORE ABOUT AN 

3801
02:16:16,434 --> 02:16:18,470

WHAT SDOT DOES. WHICH PROBABLY 

3811
02:16:35,053 --> 02:16:36,354
ALIGNS WITH SOME OF THE OTHER 

3812
02:16:36,354 --> 02:16:38,924

INTO COMPLIANCE FIRST AND 

3844
02:17:44,055 --> 02:17:44,689
FOREMOST. THAT'S ALWAYS OUR 

3845
02:17:44,689 --> 02:17:44,889
GOAL. 

3846
02:17:44,889 --> 02:17:46,458
>> I'M GOING TO ADD TO THAT. 

3847
02:17:46,458 --> 02:17:49,094
FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH SIDE OF 

3848
02:17:49,094 --> 02:17:50,528
IT, SIMILARLY TO SDOT, RIGHT? 

3849
02:17:50,528 --> 02:17:54,532
WE'RE WANTING TO PROVIDE ALL OF

3850
02:17:54,532 --> 02:17:56,401
THE INFORMATION ACCESS TO 

3851
02:17:56,401 --> 02:18:01,072
INFORMATION, THROUGH BOTH OUR 

3852
02:18:01,072 --> 02:18:01,606
INSPECTORS WHO SPEAK MANY 

3853
02:18:01,606 --> 02:18:02,674
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AS WELL AS 

3854
02:18:02,674 --> 02:18:03,274
THROUGH LANGUAGE SERVICES AND 

3855
02:18:03,274 --> 02:18:05,443
JUST TO STEP BACK FOR A MOMENT 

3856
02:18:05,443 --> 02:18:09,481
ON THIS, RIGHT? OUR GOAL IS TO 

3857
02:18:09,481 --> 02:18:12,117
HAVE AS MANY VIBRANT VENDORS OUT

3858
02:18:12,117 --> 02:18:15,086
THERE SERVING FOOD, SAFE FOOD TO

3859
02:18:15,086 --> 02:18:15,987
OUR COMMUNITIES RIGHT? SO OUR 

3860
02:18:15,987 --> 02:18:20,392
GOAL IS REALLY TO EDUCATE BUT TO

3861
02:18:20,392 --> 02:18:21,760
REDUCE BARRIERS TO BE ABLE TO 

3862
02:18:21,760 --> 02:18:23,728
ACCESS THE SYSTEMS TO BE ABLE TO

3863
02:18:23,728 --> 02:18:25,196
BE A PERMITTED VENDOR. AND SO 

3864
02:18:25,196 --> 02:18:28,299
THAT LOOKS LIKE A REALLY BROAD 

3865
02:18:28,299 --> 02:18:31,036
RANGE OF RESOURCES FROM HOLDING 

3866
02:18:31,036 --> 02:18:33,071
COMMUNITY BASED FORUMS -- LIKE 

3867
02:18:33,071 --> 02:18:34,105
SESSIONS WHERE FOLKS CAN SHOW 

3868
02:18:34,105 --> 02:18:35,173
UP. WE'VE HAD 50 PLUS FOLKS 

3869
02:18:35,173 --> 02:18:36,908
COME TO EACH SESSION WHERE 

3870
02:18:36,908 --> 02:18:38,109
THEY'RE SITTING DOWN ONE-ON-ONE

3871
02:18:38,109 --> 02:18:40,478
WITH OUR TEAMS TO GET TO KNOW 

3872
02:18:40,478 --> 02:18:41,746
ALL OF THE PROCESSES. WORKING 

3873
02:18:41,746 --> 02:18:44,849
WITH COMMUNITY BASED 

3874
02:18:44,849 --> 02:18:45,717
ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE CONNECTED 

3875
02:18:45,717 --> 02:18:47,886
TO COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE A 

3876
02:18:47,886 --> 02:18:48,553
COMMISSARY VOUCHER PROGRAM TO 

3877
02:18:48,553 --> 02:18:55,160
TRY TO REDUCE A LOT OF THE 

3878
02:18:55,160 --> 02:18:57,762
BARRIERS ARE THROUGH THE INITIAL

3879
02:18:57,762 --> 02:18:58,863
COST BEYOND THE PERMING. ACCESS 

3880
02:18:58,863 --> 02:18:59,431
TO COMMISSARY KITCHENS IS 

3881
02:18:59,431 --> 02:19:01,232
EXPENSIVE AND HAVING YOU KNOW, A

3882
02:19:01,232 --> 02:19:02,934
FOOD TRUCK THAT MEETS THE 

3883
02:19:02,934 --> 02:19:03,568
REQUIREMENTS IS EXPENSIVE. RIGHT

3884
02:19:03,568 --> 02:19:07,405
AND SO FINDING WAYS TO REDUCE 

3885
02:19:07,405 --> 02:19:10,208
THOSE BARRIERS AND GETTING FOLKS

3886
02:19:10,208 --> 02:19:11,509
ACCESS TO BECOMING PERMITTED 

3887
02:19:11,509 --> 02:19:13,845
VENDORS. SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF

3888
02:19:13,845 --> 02:19:15,580
DIFFERENT TOOLS THAT WE'RE 

3889
02:19:15,580 --> 02:19:16,014
BRINGING INTO THOSE 

3890
02:19:16,014 --> 02:19:17,282
CONVERSATIONS. TO SUPPORT THAT. 

3891
02:19:17,282 --> 02:19:19,551
>> JUST AS A POINT OF 

3892
02:19:19,551 --> 02:19:20,819
CLARIFICATION, THIS VOUCHER 

3893
02:19:20,819 --> 02:19:23,988
PROGRAM IS WITHIN PUBLIC HEALTH?

3894
02:19:23,988 --> 02:19:25,123
>> CURRENTLY, YES. 

3895
02:19:25,123 --> 02:19:25,857
>> OKAY. THANK YOU. SCOTT? 

3896
02:19:25,857 --> 02:19:27,025

3897
02:19:27,025 --> 02:19:28,159
TO ADD TO THAT. I MEAN, VERY 

3898
02:19:28,159 --> 02:19:30,862
SIMILAR TO BE A JULIE JUST SAID.

3899
02:19:30,862 --> 02:19:34,532
YOU KNOW, ALL OF OUR MATERIALS 

3900
02:19:34,532 --> 02:19:36,201

PROVIDE INFORMATION. AND WE ARE 

3904
02:19:41,106 --> 02:19:43,308
WORKING WITH OUR COMMUNITY 

3905
02:19:43,308 --> 02:19:44,476
PARTNERS AND WITH THE BIAs TO BE

02:19:44,476 --> 02:19:46,578
ABLE TO PUT IN INFORMATION OUT 

3907
02:19:46,578 --> 02:19:48,680
AND GET IT INTO AS MANY HANDS AS

3908
02:19:48,680 --> 02:19:50,515
POSSIBLE. AND I BELIEVE THAT WE 

3909
02:19:50,515 --> 02:19:53,485
ARE LOOKING THIS SUMMER TO DO 

3910
02:19:53,485 --> 02:19:54,152
SOME VERY TARGETED WORK WITH 

3911
02:19:54,152 --> 02:19:56,187
KING COUNTY ON SOME OF THE 

3912
02:19:56,187 --> 02:20:00,225
VENDORS THAT HAVE BEEN CITED TO 

3913
02:20:00,225 --> 02:20:02,761
REALLY HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THE 

3914
02:20:02,761 --> 02:20:04,229
PROCESSES AND REDUCE THOSE 

3915
02:20:04,229 --> 02:20:04,896
BARRIERS. AS WAS MENTIONED. THAT

3916
02:20:04,896 --> 02:20:09,000
WE WANT TO SEE WHAT COSTS CAN WE

3917
02:20:09,000 --> 02:20:11,703
REDUCE AND WHAT PERMITTING CAN 

3918
02:20:11,703 --> 02:20:12,771
BE STREAMLINED AND HOW DO WE 

3919
02:20:12,771 --> 02:20:14,539
JUST REALLY MAKE THIS AS EASY AS

3920
02:20:14,539 --> 02:20:17,842
POSSIBLE FOR FOLKS? TO BE ABLE 

3921
02:20:17,842 --> 02:20:18,376
TO GET INTO THE PERMITTED 

3922
02:20:18,376 --> 02:20:20,512
SPHERE. 

3923
02:20:20,512 --> 02:20:22,480
>> I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. 

3924
02:20:22,480 --> 02:20:23,415
JUST INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS TO 

3925
02:20:23,415 --> 02:20:25,717
THE PROCESSES. BECAUSE I WAS 

3926
02:20:25,717 --> 02:20:29,287
PARTICULARLY CAUGHT BY THE 

3927
02:20:29,287 --> 02:20:32,524
COFFEE CART STORY THAT CAME OUT 

3928
02:20:32,524 --> 02:20:33,925

3929
02:20:33,925 --> 02:20:34,626
REALLY VOLATILE AS FOLKS ARE 

3930
02:20:34,626 --> 02:20:41,199
FIGURING OUT THE CLIENT BASE AND

3931
02:20:41,199 --> 02:20:43,034
MODEL AND SO ON. IT'S 

3932
02:20:43,034 --> 02:20:46,237
DISAPPOINTING WHEN OUR OWN 

3933
02:20:46,237 --> 02:20:47,138
INTERNAL PROCESSES ARE PROVIDING

3934
02:20:47,138 --> 02:20:48,773
MIXED MESSAGES TO TWO VENDORS. 

3935
02:20:48,773 --> 02:20:53,912
HOW WE'RE WORKING TO REMEDY 

3936
02:20:53,912 --> 02:20:54,846
THAT KIND OF SITUATION? FROM 

3937
02:20:54,846 --> 02:20:55,246
HAPPENING AGAIN. 

3938
02:20:55,246 --> 02:20:56,681
>> I WOULD SAY THAT IS ONE OF 

3939
02:20:56,681 --> 02:20:59,117
THE THINGS THAT REALLY EXCITED 

3940
02:20:59,117 --> 02:21:00,685
ABOUT FOR THIS SECOND PHASE OF 

3941
02:21:00,685 --> 02:21:01,286
OUR STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE 

3942
02:21:01,286 --> 02:21:03,988
INTENT RESPONSE. THIS HAS BEEN A

3943
02:21:03,988 --> 02:21:06,057
REALLY EXCITING PROCESS SO FAR 

3944
02:21:06,057 --> 02:21:07,058
THAT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE 

3945
02:21:07,058 --> 02:21:08,326
CONVENED AND EVERYBODY IS ALL IN

3946
02:21:08,326 --> 02:21:10,795
AND WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT 

3947
02:21:10,795 --> 02:21:11,729
DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE 

3948
02:21:11,729 --> 02:21:13,798
PARTICIPATING AND SO I THINK 

3949
02:21:13,798 --> 02:21:15,533
THAT THROUGH THE SECOND PHASE OF

3950
02:21:15,533 --> 02:21:19,537
THIS WORK, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE 

3951
02:21:19,537 --> 02:21:20,471
GOING TO DIG INTO. RIGHT? 

3952
02:21:20,471 --> 02:21:21,573
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS FRUSTRATED 

3953
02:21:21,573 --> 02:21:23,341
BY THE CURRENT STATE. WE DON'T 

3954
02:21:23,341 --> 02:21:24,909
WANT TO BE OUT THERE DOING 

3955
02:21:24,909 --> 02:21:26,678
ENFORCEMENT AND FOCUSING ON 

3956
02:21:26,678 --> 02:21:28,780
THAT. WE WANT TO MAKE IT SO ANY 

3957
02:21:28,780 --> 02:21:31,082
SMALL BUSINESS THAT WANTS TO SET

3958
02:21:31,082 --> 02:21:32,617
UP, CAN. AND SO I THINK THAT'S 

3959
02:21:32,617 --> 02:21:33,918
WHAT WILL BE NEXT. AND I CAN'T 

3960
02:21:33,918 --> 02:21:35,420
WAIT TO BE BACK THIS FALL AND 

3961
02:21:35,420 --> 02:21:40,492
TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'VE COME UP 

3962
02:21:40,492 --> 02:21:40,692
WITH. 

3963
02:21:40,692 --> 02:21:43,394
>> THANK YOU. AND ONE OTHER JUST

3964
02:21:43,394 --> 02:21:44,963
POINT TO MAKE ON THIS SHARE. AND

3965
02:21:44,963 --> 02:21:46,998
I KNOW I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE 

3966
02:21:46,998 --> 02:21:48,366
AT THE TABLE IS -- HAS 

3967
02:21:48,366 --> 02:21:51,469
INFORMATION OR CAN SPEAK TO IN 

3968
02:21:51,469 --> 02:21:54,973
MATTER. BUT I KNOW KING COUNTY 

3969
02:21:54,973 --> 02:21:56,140
COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA HAS 

3970
02:21:56,140 --> 02:21:56,941
FLAGGED THE CONCERNS AROUND 

3971
02:21:56,941 --> 02:21:58,510
POTENTIAL LABOR TRAFFICKING AS 

3972
02:21:58,510 --> 02:22:00,612
IT RELATES TO UNPERMITTED STREET

3973
02:22:00,612 --> 02:22:02,080
VENDING. THAT'S AN ELEMENT IN 

3974
02:22:02,080 --> 02:22:05,683
THIS DISCUSSION AS WELL I KNOW 

3975
02:22:05,683 --> 02:22:07,418
JUST A HUMAN TRAFFICKING 

3976
02:22:07,418 --> 02:22:09,187
COMPONENT. I WANT TO BRING THAT 

3977
02:22:09,187 --> 02:22:09,654
TO THE DISCUSSION. 

3978
02:22:09,654 --> 02:22:10,722
>> YEAH. I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT 

3979
02:22:10,722 --> 02:22:13,258
IN DETAIL AT THE TABLE HERE 

3980
02:22:13,258 --> 02:22:16,127
TODAY. BUT I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW

3981
02:22:16,127 --> 02:22:19,731
COUNCILMEMBER, THAT WE ARE IN 

3982
02:22:19,731 --> 02:22:20,598
CONVERSATION WITH COUNCILMEMBER 

3983
02:22:20,598 --> 02:22:22,367
MOSQUEDA'S OFFICE AND THAT IS 

3984
02:22:22,367 --> 02:22:22,967
IN MY INTRODUCTORY REMARKS, I 

3985
02:22:22,967 --> 02:22:25,770
SAID I WANT TO BE ABLE TO COME 

3986
02:22:25,770 --> 02:22:28,973
BACK WITH JUST A CLEARER PICTURE

3987
02:22:28,973 --> 02:22:30,541
OF THE LANDSCAPE. AND THAT IS 

3988
02:22:30,541 --> 02:22:31,943
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT 

3989
02:22:31,943 --> 02:22:34,312
TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A REALLY 

3990
02:22:34,312 --> 02:22:35,113
CLEAR ASSESSMENT OF LIKE WHAT --

3991
02:22:35,113 --> 02:22:38,416
WHAT DO WE THINK IS ACTUALLY 

3992
02:22:38,416 --> 02:22:40,451
HAPPENING? BECAUSE IT IS -- I 

3993
02:22:40,451 --> 02:22:41,619
THINK THE LANDSCAPE IS DIFFERENT

3994
02:22:41,619 --> 02:22:43,588
THAN WHEN A LOT OF THESE 

3995
02:22:43,588 --> 02:22:45,790
PROGRAMS WERE INITIALLY SET UP. 

3996
02:22:45,790 --> 02:22:46,891
AND WE NEED TO RESPOND TO 

3997
02:22:46,891 --> 02:22:48,359
WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW. SO MORE 

3998
02:22:48,359 --> 02:22:50,628
TO COME ON THAT AS WELL. 

3999
02:22:50,628 --> 02:22:52,297
>> UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU FOR 

4000
02:22:52,297 --> 02:22:54,866
THAT RESPONSE. THANK YOU CHAIR. 

4001
02:22:54,866 --> 02:22:57,435
>> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER LIN,

4002
02:22:57,435 --> 02:22:57,835
FLOOR IS YOURS. 

4003
02:22:57,835 --> 02:23:01,039
>> THANK YOU. THANKS FOR 

4004
02:23:01,039 --> 02:23:02,307
ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. AND BEING

4005
02:23:02,307 --> 02:23:02,907
THOUGHTFUL WITH THE EDUCATION 

4006
02:23:02,907 --> 02:23:05,143
FIRST AND YOU KNOW WITH THE GOAL

4007
02:23:05,143 --> 02:23:05,810
OF GETTING THESE PERMITTED. AND 

4008
02:23:05,810 --> 02:23:06,544
JUST ONE CONCERN AND I THINK 

4009
02:23:06,544 --> 02:23:10,715
THIS WAS TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE 

4010
02:23:10,715 --> 02:23:12,350
BIT. BUT ANY ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS

4011
02:23:12,350 --> 02:23:12,917
ON JUST CONCERNS ABOUT 

4012
02:23:12,917 --> 02:23:14,686
ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES AS 

4013
02:23:14,686 --> 02:23:17,021
PARTICULARLY WHEN THERE'S SORT 

4014
02:23:17,021 --> 02:23:18,623
OF LARGER FOOD VENDING 

4015
02:23:18,623 --> 02:23:20,959
OPERATIONS ON THE SIDEWALK? AND 

4016
02:23:20,959 --> 02:23:22,427
FOLKS, ESPECIALLY IN, YOU KNOW, 

4017
02:23:22,427 --> 02:23:23,328
WHEELCHAIRS CAN'T GET BY AND 

4018
02:23:23,328 --> 02:23:25,263
THEN FORCED TO GO INTO THE 

4019
02:23:25,263 --> 02:23:26,331
STREET OR THE BIKE LANE. IS 

4020
02:23:26,331 --> 02:23:30,835
THERE SORT OF A BEST PRACTICE OR

4021
02:23:30,835 --> 02:23:31,469
THOUGHTS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, 

4022
02:23:31,469 --> 02:23:34,572
LOCATIONS AND HAVE YOU KNOW, HOW

4023
02:23:34,572 --> 02:23:35,940
TO IDENTIFY BETTER LOCATIONS FOR

4024
02:23:35,940 --> 02:23:38,476
VENDING RATHER THAN SIDEWALKS 

4025
02:23:38,476 --> 02:23:43,348
WHERE IT BECOMES AN ACCUSES -- 

4026
02:23:43,348 --> 02:23:43,815
ACCESSIBILITY ISSUE? 

4027
02:23:43,815 --> 02:23:45,049
>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 

4028
02:23:45,049 --> 02:23:47,418
THANK YOU. THAT'S ONE OF THE 

4029
02:23:47,418 --> 02:23:49,587
REASONS THAT SDOT ISSUES PERMITS

4030
02:23:49,587 --> 02:23:50,154
FOR VENDING. RIGHT? BECAUSE 

4031
02:23:50,154 --> 02:23:51,456
IT'S KIND OF WEIRD MAYBE WHEN 

4032
02:23:51,456 --> 02:23:53,191
YOU THINK ABOUT IT. WHAT DOES A 

4033
02:23:53,191 --> 02:23:55,226
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

4034
02:23:55,226 --> 02:23:56,427
HAVE TO DO WITH VENDING? BUT 

4035
02:23:56,427 --> 02:23:59,364
THAT'S EXACTLY ONE OF THE MAIN 

4036
02:23:59,364 --> 02:24:01,566
PURPOSES FOR US IS THINKING 

4037
02:24:01,566 --> 02:24:02,233
ABOUT MOBILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY

4038
02:24:02,233 --> 02:24:04,435
AND MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN HAVE

4039
02:24:04,435 --> 02:24:05,370
THIS GREAT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY 

4040
02:24:05,370 --> 02:24:08,006
BUT ALSO KEEP THE SIDEWALK AND 

4041
02:24:08,006 --> 02:24:08,639
STREETS AVAILABLE AND ACCESSIBLE

4042
02:24:08,639 --> 02:24:11,743
FOR EVERYONE. MANY OF THOSE 

4043
02:24:11,743 --> 02:24:15,046
SETUPS ARE NOT PERMITTED AS YOU 

4044
02:24:15,046 --> 02:24:18,716
MAY EXPECT. BUT WE ARE 

4045
02:24:18,716 --> 02:24:19,250
INTERESTED IN LOOKING AND 

4046
02:24:19,250 --> 02:24:19,917
TALKING TO THOSE FOLKS ABOUT HOW

4047
02:24:19,917 --> 02:24:21,052
COULD THEY FIND PLACE THAT WOULD

4048
02:24:21,052 --> 02:24:23,588
WORK RIGHT AND IS IT IN A CURB 

4049
02:24:23,588 --> 02:24:26,357
SPACE. IS IT IN A NEARBY PARK? 

4050
02:24:26,357 --> 02:24:27,725
WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES SO 

4051
02:24:27,725 --> 02:24:30,628
THAT WE CAN HAVE BOTH, YOU KNOW,

4052
02:24:30,628 --> 02:24:32,096
HAVE THAT GREAT VIBRANT ECONOMIC

4053
02:24:32,096 --> 02:24:32,730
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY AND HAVE 

4054
02:24:32,730 --> 02:24:34,332
SIDEWALKS THAT ARE OPEN FOR 

4055
02:24:34,332 --> 02:24:39,470
PEOPLE. 

4056
02:24:39,470 --> 02:24:39,804
>> THANK YOU. 

4057
02:24:39,804 --> 02:24:40,805
>> EXCELLENT. WELL, THANK YOU 

4058
02:24:40,805 --> 02:24:43,908
AGAIN FOR JOINING US TODAY A 

4059
02:24:43,908 --> 02:24:44,342
COUPLE OF COMMENTS 

4060
02:24:44,342 --> 02:24:44,876
SELF-REFLECTIONS FROM MY 

4061
02:24:44,876 --> 02:24:45,543
PERSPECTIVE. WHEN I THINK ABOUT 

4062
02:24:45,543 --> 02:24:47,145
THIS WORK I THINK ABOUT THREE 

4063
02:24:47,145 --> 02:24:52,216
Es. EDUCATION, EMPOWERMENT, 

4064
02:24:52,216 --> 02:24:56,087
WHICH INCLUDES LANGUAGE ACCESS, 

4065
02:24:56,087 --> 02:24:58,556
EMPOWERING FOLKS TO BE COMPLIANT

4066
02:24:58,556 --> 02:25:00,992
THROUGH NOT PURELY JUST 

4067
02:25:00,992 --> 02:25:05,029
EDUCATION, AND YES, ENFORCEMENT.

4068
02:25:05,029 --> 02:25:08,633
I 100% AGREE AND ASCRIBE TO THE 

4069
02:25:08,633 --> 02:25:10,501
EDUCATION FIRST MODEL. YOU ARE 

4070
02:25:10,501 --> 02:25:12,170
NOT AT ALL SUBSCRIBE TO THE 

4071
02:25:12,170 --> 02:25:22,680
EDUCATION ONLY MODEL. EITHER. 

4072
02:25:22,880 --> 02:25:27,652
AND -- AND I'M CONCERNED THAT 

4073
02:25:27,652 --> 02:25:29,887
SOME OF THESE VENDORS OPERATING 

4074
02:25:29,887 --> 02:25:32,990
WITHOUT PERMITS AND LICENSES 

4075
02:25:32,990 --> 02:25:35,460
KNOW THOSE CITY BOUNDARIES 

4076
02:25:35,460 --> 02:25:35,993
THROUGH INTERDEPARTMENTAL 

4077
02:25:35,993 --> 02:25:36,994
JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES. IT'S

4078
02:25:36,994 --> 02:25:40,431
CONCERNING. WHEN MEMBERS OF THE 

4079
02:25:40,431 --> 02:25:43,868
PUBLIC CALL THE CITY TO REPAIR A

4080
02:25:43,868 --> 02:25:48,172
POTHOLE, IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, 

4081
02:25:48,172 --> 02:25:49,774
TRIM THE HEDGES IN THE PARK, 

4082
02:25:49,774 --> 02:25:53,111
THEY SHOULDN'T KNOW OR BE 

4083
02:25:53,111 --> 02:25:55,379
CONCERNED WITH OR FRANKLY CARE 

4084
02:25:55,379 --> 02:25:57,482
ABOUT WELL, THE POTHOLE ON PARKS

4085
02:25:57,482 --> 02:25:59,984
DEPARTMENT PROPERTY BECAUSE IF 

4086
02:25:59,984 --> 02:26:00,718
SO THAT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.

4087
02:26:00,718 --> 02:26:07,558
IS TECHNICALLY SDOT LAND IN THE 

4088
02:26:07,558 --> 02:26:09,093
RIGHT OF WAY? THAT THE PARK -- 

4089
02:26:09,093 --> 02:26:12,897
THE BRUSH NEEDS TO BE TRIMMED 

4090
02:26:12,897 --> 02:26:17,034
SHOULD BE A COMPLETELY SEAMLESS 

4091
02:26:17,034 --> 02:26:18,603
PROCESS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF 

4092
02:26:18,603 --> 02:26:19,771
A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC. EXCUSE 

4093
02:26:19,771 --> 02:26:22,874
ME. NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE THE 

4094
02:26:22,874 --> 02:26:23,508
INTERDEPARTMENTAL JURISDICTIONAL

4095
02:26:23,508 --> 02:26:26,744
BOUNDARIES ARE BEING EXPLOITED 

4096
02:26:26,744 --> 02:26:31,048
AND THAT'S NO GOOD. WE -- HAVE 

4097
02:26:31,048 --> 02:26:34,919
DONE A LOT COLLECTIVELY AS A 

4098
02:26:34,919 --> 02:26:35,920
CITY. AND I APPRECIATE THE 

4099
02:26:35,920 --> 02:26:37,088
ALIGNMENT WITH THE MAYOR'S 

4100
02:26:37,088 --> 02:26:38,856
OFFICE ON THIS AND THE WORK THAT

4101
02:26:38,856 --> 02:26:39,557
THEY'RE LEADING TO FIND A 

4102
02:26:39,557 --> 02:26:40,224
BETTER STATE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 

4103
02:26:40,224 --> 02:26:45,563
THERE. TODAY. ASK ANY SMALL 

4104
02:26:45,563 --> 02:26:47,765
BUSINESS OWNER. WE'RE NOT THERE.

4105
02:26:47,765 --> 02:26:51,769
BUT IN THIS BODY, WE HAVE THREE 

4106
02:26:51,769 --> 02:26:55,673
PRINCIPAL POWERS. POWER OF THE 

4107
02:26:55,673 --> 02:26:57,475
PURSE, POWER TO WRITE LAWS, AND 

4108
02:26:57,475 --> 02:26:59,911
THE THIRD WHAT I'LL CALL ARE 

4109
02:26:59,911 --> 02:27:04,115
PLATFORM OR THE PULPIT ADVOCACY.

4110
02:27:04,115 --> 02:27:04,949
SO WE HAVE THOUGHTFULLY 

4111
02:27:04,949 --> 02:27:05,583
EXERCISED TAKEN ACTION ON THE 

4112
02:27:05,583 --> 02:27:13,057
POWER OF THE PURSE. IT'S WHY WE

4113
02:27:13,057 --> 02:27:15,893
HEARD EARLIER WE WROTE SOME 

4114
02:27:15,893 --> 02:27:16,694
SLIDES CALLING ON REPORTS. 

4115
02:27:16,694 --> 02:27:17,929
FUNDED NEW POSITIONS TO HELP 

4116
02:27:17,929 --> 02:27:24,035
WITH ENFORCEMENT. AND I HAVE -- 

4117
02:27:24,035 --> 02:27:25,536
SO EXERCISING THOSE POWERS WILL 

4118
02:27:25,536 --> 02:27:29,540
CONTINUE TO EXERCISE THEM. I 

4119
02:27:29,540 --> 02:27:30,107
HAVE CAREFULLY PERSONALLY 

4120
02:27:30,107 --> 02:27:32,810
REVIEWED THE RELEVANT CODE AND 

4121
02:27:32,810 --> 02:27:35,379
LAWS ON THIS. I DON'T THINK -- 

4122
02:27:35,379 --> 02:27:39,350
I THINK THE LAW IS SUFFICIENTLY 

4123
02:27:39,350 --> 02:27:40,918
CLEAR ON WHAT'S PERMISSIBLE. 

4124
02:27:40,918 --> 02:27:42,286
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE, WHAT'S 

4125
02:27:42,286 --> 02:27:43,487
COMPLIANT AND WHAT'S NOT. IN 

4126
02:27:43,487 --> 02:27:44,155
SCOPE AND WHAT'S NOT. I THINK 

4127
02:27:44,155 --> 02:27:45,756
THE CODE IS CLEAR FROM THAT 

4128
02:27:45,756 --> 02:27:47,425
PERSPECTIVE. IS THAT SAID AS 

4129
02:27:47,425 --> 02:27:50,628
PART OF THIS INTERDEPARTMENTAL 

4130
02:27:50,628 --> 02:27:53,364
REVIEW IF I ALSO DON'T FORFEIT 

4131
02:27:53,364 --> 02:27:56,000
-- POWER ON THERE NOT EXECUTION 

4132
02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:56,634
REIMPLEMENTATION. THAT'S THE 

4133
02:27:56,634 --> 02:27:58,169
MAYOR'S. SO I DON'T WANT -- 

4134
02:27:58,169 --> 02:27:58,936
CONTROL EXECUTION, I HAVE BLIND 

4135
02:27:58,936 --> 02:28:02,373
SPOTS. IF THE MAYOR IS PART OF 

4136
02:28:02,373 --> 02:28:04,275
THIS YOU KNOW WANTS TO PROPOSE 

4137
02:28:04,275 --> 02:28:06,811
SOME TWEAKS TO THE CODE I 

4138
02:28:06,811 --> 02:28:07,945
WELCOME SEEING THOSE AND THEN 

4139
02:28:07,945 --> 02:28:09,547
PLATFORM, PULPIT THAT'S EXACTLY

4140
02:28:09,547 --> 02:28:10,781
WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY. TO TALK 

4141
02:28:10,781 --> 02:28:12,550
ABOUT IT. BECAUSE WE HAVE TAKEN 

4142
02:28:12,550 --> 02:28:15,519
ACTION AND NOW WE NEED TO CHECK 

4143
02:28:15,519 --> 02:28:16,654
IN AND WE'LL BE INVITING YOU 

4144
02:28:16,654 --> 02:28:20,424
AGAIN ALL LATER THIS FALL AND 

4145
02:28:20,424 --> 02:28:25,329
WOULD EXPECT TO SEE A BETTER, 

4146
02:28:25,329 --> 02:28:26,530
MORE REFINED STATE. AND PLAN. 

4147
02:28:26,530 --> 02:28:27,531
AND STEPS TO IMPLEMENT. ALIGN 

4148
02:28:27,531 --> 02:28:29,133
WITH THE THREE Es. YOU CAN CALL 

4149
02:28:29,133 --> 02:28:29,767
THEM WHATEVER YOU WANT. WHATEVER

4150
02:28:29,767 --> 02:28:37,108
YOU LIKE. I THINK WE'RE ALIGNED

4151
02:28:37,108 --> 02:28:37,642
IN PRINCIPLE. WHICH YES, 

4152
02:28:37,642 --> 02:28:38,709
INCLUDES ENFORCEMENT. BUT 

4153
02:28:38,709 --> 02:28:41,746
EDUCATION ONLY IS -- NOT THE 

4154
02:28:41,746 --> 02:28:42,880
SOLUTION. ALL RIGHT. LOVE THE 

4155
02:28:42,880 --> 02:28:46,517
QUESTIONS. I HAD A SIMILAR 

4156
02:28:46,517 --> 02:28:48,152
QUESTION VICE CHAIR ABOUT THE --

4157
02:28:48,152 --> 02:28:53,524
THE STATE OF THE POTENTIAL HUMAN

4158
02:28:53,524 --> 02:28:56,060
TRAFFICKING CHALLENGE. IT'S A 

4159
02:28:56,060 --> 02:28:59,230
GREAT ONE. THE FINAL THING I'LL

4160
02:28:59,230 --> 02:29:01,832
ASK OUR PARTNER FROM KING COUNTY

4161
02:29:01,832 --> 02:29:02,566
PUBLIC HEALTH, WHEN EDUCATION 

4162
02:29:02,566 --> 02:29:05,836
HAS FAILED, HOW DOES TODAY, HOW 

4163
02:29:05,836 --> 02:29:07,672
DOES SEATTLE KING COUNTY PUBLIC 

4164
02:29:07,672 --> 02:29:10,641
HEALTH CURRENTLY ADDRESS 

4165
02:29:10,641 --> 02:29:12,209
UNPERMITTED UNLAWFUL STREET 

4166
02:29:12,209 --> 02:29:14,045
VENDING? INCLUDING THROUGH 

4167
02:29:14,045 --> 02:29:14,378
ENFORCEMENT. 

4168
02:29:14,378 --> 02:29:17,315
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. YES. SO WE 

4169
02:29:17,315 --> 02:29:19,216
DO START WITH THE EDUCATION 

4170
02:29:19,216 --> 02:29:22,820
FIRST AND ALL OF THE PIECES TO 

4171
02:29:22,820 --> 02:29:24,121
HELP FOLKS COME INTO COMPLIANCE.

4172
02:29:24,121 --> 02:29:25,489
WE HAVE SEEN A LARGE INCREASE IN

4173
02:29:25,489 --> 02:29:28,659
VENDORS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN 

4174
02:29:28,659 --> 02:29:30,061
WILLING TO ENGAGE WITH OUR STAFF

4175
02:29:30,061 --> 02:29:34,932
IN THAT PROCESS. AND WE'VE ALSO

4176
02:29:34,932 --> 02:29:39,570
SEEN WITH THAT AN INCREASE IN 

4177
02:29:39,570 --> 02:29:40,438
SORT OF CENTRALIZED OPERATIONS. 

4178
02:29:40,438 --> 02:29:41,238
SYSTEM -- SOME OF WHICH ARE 

4179
02:29:41,238 --> 02:29:43,507
ORGANIZED OUT OF CALIFORNIA OR 

4180
02:29:43,507 --> 02:29:44,542
OTHER PLACES. THERE'S MORE TO 

4181
02:29:44,542 --> 02:29:48,145
LEARN ON ALL OF THAT. BUT WE ARE

4182
02:29:48,145 --> 02:29:53,751
SEEING A SHIFT IN THE DYNAMICS 

4183
02:29:53,751 --> 02:29:55,286
OF UNPERMITTED VENDING. SO SOME 

4184
02:29:55,286 --> 02:29:56,454
OF THE PIECES THAT INVOLVES. WE 

4185
02:29:56,454 --> 02:29:58,255
RESPOND TO EVERY COMPLAINT THAT 

4186
02:29:58,255 --> 02:30:00,157
WE RECEIVE REGARDING UNPERMITTED

4187
02:30:00,157 --> 02:30:02,193
FUNDING AND ANY OTHER FOOD 

4188
02:30:02,193 --> 02:30:06,063
COMPLIANCE. WE VISIT THE VENDOR 

4189
02:30:06,063 --> 02:30:08,165
AND WE DO THE EDUCATION. WE -- 

4190
02:30:08,165 --> 02:30:09,900
IDENTIFY THE FOOD SAFETY RISKS 

4191
02:30:09,900 --> 02:30:10,534
ASSOCIATED WITH THE OPERATION 

4192
02:30:10,534 --> 02:30:12,036
AND ASK THEM TO CEASE 

4193
02:30:12,036 --> 02:30:16,674
OPERATIONS. AND SO WE CLOSE THEM

4194
02:30:16,674 --> 02:30:20,845
AT THAT TIME. WHAT WE FIND IS 

4195
02:30:20,845 --> 02:30:22,013
THAT OFTEN VENDORS WILL REOPEN 

4196
02:30:22,013 --> 02:30:23,514
AFTER WE HAVE LEFT. EITHER IN 

4197
02:30:23,514 --> 02:30:28,519
THAT LOCATION OR NEARBY. AND WE 

4198
02:30:28,519 --> 02:30:32,957
DO ALSO ASK THEM TO VOLUNTARILY 

4199
02:30:32,957 --> 02:30:33,924
DISCARD THE FOOD AT THIS POINT. 

4200
02:30:33,924 --> 02:30:36,127
WE ARE ALSO IMPLEMENTING A 

4201
02:30:36,127 --> 02:30:37,695
STICKER THAT WE PLACE ON THE 

4202
02:30:37,695 --> 02:30:41,499
CART TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC THAT 

4203
02:30:41,499 --> 02:30:43,334
IT IS AN UNPERMITTED FACILITY. 

4204
02:30:43,334 --> 02:30:45,836
WE ARE WORKING ON A PROCESS TO 

4205
02:30:45,836 --> 02:30:52,243
EXPAND BEYOND THAT IN TERMS OF A

4206
02:30:52,243 --> 02:30:56,047
PROGRESSIVE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS 

4207
02:30:56,047 --> 02:30:58,349
THAT BUILDS INCLUDING DISPOSAL 

4208
02:30:58,349 --> 02:31:00,584
OF FOOD. AS WELL AS 

4209
02:31:00,584 --> 02:31:01,619
CONSIDERATION OF MISDEMEANOR 

4210
02:31:01,619 --> 02:31:05,156
VIOLATIONS TOWARDS THE OWNER. 

4211
02:31:05,156 --> 02:31:06,457
NOT NECESSARILY THE OPERATOR. 

4212
02:31:06,457 --> 02:31:09,727
WHERE THERE IS NOT ANOTHER PATH 

4213
02:31:09,727 --> 02:31:10,327
THAT IS FOUND. RIGHT? NO OFF 

4214
02:31:10,327 --> 02:31:12,696
RAMPS THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND WHEN 

4215
02:31:12,696 --> 02:31:13,364
THERE'S MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES. 

4216
02:31:13,364 --> 02:31:16,901
AND SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF 

4217
02:31:16,901 --> 02:31:22,006
LOOKING INTO AND DEVELOPING THE 

4218
02:31:22,006 --> 02:31:22,606
PROGRESSIVE ENFORCEMENT. THE 

4219
02:31:22,606 --> 02:31:24,275
GOAL IS TO REALLY GET FOLKS 

4220
02:31:24,275 --> 02:31:27,311
PERMITTED AND TO HAVE THE 

4221
02:31:27,311 --> 02:31:29,914
BACKSTOP AND TO FOCUS ON THE 

4222
02:31:29,914 --> 02:31:30,548
OWNERS, NOT NECESSARILY THE 

4223
02:31:30,548 --> 02:31:32,516
FOLKS RIGHT? THAT ARE OUT THERE 

4224
02:31:32,516 --> 02:31:36,353
ON THE STREET. BUT THE FOLKS 

4225
02:31:36,353 --> 02:31:37,688
THAT ARE OPERATING THESE LARGER 

4226
02:31:37,688 --> 02:31:37,988
OPERATIONS. 

4227
02:31:37,988 --> 02:31:42,226
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. 

4228
02:31:42,226 --> 02:31:43,360
APPRECIATE THAT. WE'RE ABOUT 

4229
02:31:43,360 --> 02:31:45,162
THE LOSE QUORUM HERE AND I 

4230
02:31:45,162 --> 02:31:47,364
APPRECIATE EVERYONE BEING HERE 

4231
02:31:47,364 --> 02:31:49,100
TODAY. AGAIN WE WILL BE INVITING

4232
02:31:49,100 --> 02:31:50,668
YOU BACK IN THE FALL AND COME 

4233
02:31:50,668 --> 02:31:52,603
BACK AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING

4234
02:31:52,603 --> 02:31:54,305
HOW THE REPORT HAS DEVELOPED AND

4235
02:31:54,305 --> 02:31:54,972
REFINED AND MORE CONCRETE PLANS 

4236
02:31:54,972 --> 02:31:56,674
IN PLACE TO BETTER ADDRESS THIS.

4237
02:31:56,674 --> 02:31:59,276
THANK YOU. WE HAVE RUN OUT OF 

4238
02:31:59,276 --> 02:32:00,845
TIME TO HEAR AGENDA ITEM FOUR. 

4239
02:32:00,845 --> 02:32:02,913
AND WE HEARD NEXT COMMITTEE 

4240
02:32:02,913 --> 02:32:04,915
MEETING AND THAT MEANS REACHED 

4241
02:32:04,915 --> 02:32:06,617
THE END OF TODAY'S MEETING 

4242
02:32:06,617 --> 02:32:08,319
AGENDA. THE STEPS COMMITTEE WILL

4243
02:32:08,319 --> 02:32:09,553

DISTRICT. WHICH MEANS OUR NEXT

REGULAR MEETING WILL LIKELY BE 

4248
02:32:16,127 --> 02:32:18,662
HELD ON AUGUST 6th , 2026. 9:30.

4249
02:32:18,662 --> 02:32:21,499
IS THERE ANY FINAL BUSINESS TO 

4250
02:32:21,499 --> 02:32:23,067
COME BEFORE THE COMMITTEE BEFORE

4251
02:32:23,067 --> 02:32:26,270
