82
00:02:18,771 --> 00:02:19,005
MINIMAL 

83
00:02:19,005 --> 00:02:20,340

00:02:26,579 --> 00:02:27,847
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE 

89
00:02:27,847 --> 00:02:29,282
PUBLIC, WHICH IS THE MOST 

90
00:02:29,282 --> 00:02:29,616
IMPORTANT

CHANGED, IT IS THE SAME. 

96
00:02:33,887 --> 00:02:35,221
ONE NOTICEABLE CHANGE IS 

97
00:02:35,221 --> 00:02:38,291
THAT THE PUBLIC WILL NOT SEE THE

98
00:02:38,291 --> 00:02:39,459

99
00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:40,793
FORM DIRECTLY INTO THE WEBSITE. 

100
00:02:40,793 --> 00:02:42,795
SO THERE'S A MAIN PUBLIC 

101
00:02:42,795 --> 00:02:44,163
COMMENT PAGE WHICH TALKS ABOUT 

102
00:02:44,163 --> 00:02:46,399
DIFFERENT WAYS TO GIVE PUBLIC 

103
00:02:46,399 --> 00:02:46,833
COMMENT. 

104
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,069
IT WAS EMBEDDED 

105
00:02:50,069 --> 00:02:51,004
FIRST WITHIN THAT LINK. 

106
00:02:51,004 --> 00:02:53,907
YOU WILL NOW HAVE TO ACCESS ON 

107
00:02:53,907 --> 00:02:54,774
ANOTHER LINK. 

108
00:02:54,774 --> 00:02:56,109
SO PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO GO 

109
00:02:56,109 --> 00:02:59,145
ON THE MAIN PAGE, THEY WILL SEE 

110
00:02:59,145 --> 00:03:00,446
IT 

111
00:03:00,446 --> 00:03:02,181
SAYS "CLICK THIS LINK TO DO A 

112
00:03:02,181 --> 00:03:03,383

00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:05,518
SEND THEM TO A FORM WHERE 

114
00:03:05,518 --> 00:03:07,287

115
00:03:07,287 --> 00:03:07,620

116
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,088
THOSE WHO SIGN UP TO SPEAK 

117
00:03:09,088 --> 00:03:10,590
WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE 

118
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:11,558
A CONFIRMATION E- MAIL

00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:12,492
WITH INFORMATION, INSTRUCTIONS 

120
00:03:12,492 --> 00:03:12,725
ON HOW 

121
00:03:12,725 --> 00:03:15,495
TO PROVIDE THE REMOTE PUBLIC 

122
00:03:15,495 --> 00:03:15,862
COMMENT. 

123
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:17,330
I KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO 

124
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:21,601
BE A NICE VIDEO PUT OUT BY OUR 

125
00:03:21,601 --> 00:03:22,302
COMSCOMS WALKING PEOPLE THROUGH

00:03:22,302 --> 00:03:24,037
THIS AND JUST MAKING SURE PEOPLE

127
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:24,904
UNDERSTAND. 

128
00:03:24,904 --> 00:03:27,173
SO IT IS VERY MINIMAL EFFECT 

129
00:03:27,173 --> 00:03:27,941
TO THE PUBLIC. 

130
00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:29,709
THEY'LL SEE JUST A NEW 

131
00:03:29,709 --> 00:03:31,277
INTERFACE, PRETTY SIMPLE, BUT 

132
00:03:31,277 --> 00:03:32,278
THEY WILL RECEIVE THE

00:03:32,278 --> 00:03:33,980
SAME E-MAIL TO THEM, JUST GIVING

00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:35,515

135
00:03:35,515 --> 00:03:37,083
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S 

136
00:03:37,083 --> 00:03:38,451
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT, 

137
00:03:38,451 --> 00:03:42,322

DISCUSS TRIBAL AND URBAN NATIVE 

578
00:14:22,995 --> 00:14:23,796
ENGAGEMENT. BASICALLY I'M 

579
00:14:23,796 --> 00:14:24,463

580
00:14:24,463 --> 00:14:26,098
TALK ABOUT HOW PORTLAND AND 

581
00:14:26,098 --> 00:14:26,332

582
00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:26,865

584
00:14:27,233 --> 00:14:27,700
BOOM. WE'RE DONE. 

585
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:31,437
AND JUST ON A SIDE NOTE, 

586
00:14:31,437 --> 00:14:32,871
I HESITATED WITH THIS BUT THEN 

587
00:14:32,871 --> 00:14:34,974
I KNOW THAT I SHARED THIS 

588
00:14:34,974 --> 00:14:37,042
WITH PROFESSOR -- NOT PROFESSOR.

589
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:39,078
DR. CHAPPELLE AND 

590
00:14:39,078 --> 00:14:39,912
COUNCIL PRESIDENT BECAUSE I 

591
00:14:39,912 --> 00:14:40,779
THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT AND I 

592
00:14:40,779 --> 00:14:41,180
KNOW WE 

593
00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:42,748
WILL DO SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT 

594
00:14:42,748 --> 00:14:42,948
MORE 

595
00:14:42,948 --> 00:14:44,617
FORMAL DOWN THE ROAD. 

596
00:14:44,617 --> 00:14:47,820

SLAVERY AS THE GREATEST -- 

600
00:14:53,158 --> 00:14:55,027
GREATEST CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

601
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:57,830
YOU WOULD -- IT IS INTERESTING. 

602
00:14:57,830 --> 00:15:01,567
IT IS SEVEN PAGES LONG, BUT OF 

603
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:02,167
THE RESOLUTION, OF ALL OF 

604
00:15:02,167 --> 00:15:04,036
THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD 

605
00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:06,972
THAT BELONG TO THE 

606
00:15:06,972 --> 00:15:07,806
UNITED NATIONS, 123 COUNTRIES 

607
00:15:07,806 --> 00:15:08,841
VOTED YES, 

608
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:10,843
52 COUNTRIES ABSTAINED AND THREE

609
00:15:10,843 --> 00:15:12,411
COUNTRIES VOTED NO. 

610
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:14,346
I WON'T TELL YOU WHO THE 

611
00:15:14,346 --> 00:15:18,017
THREE COUNTRIES THAT VOTED NO. 

612
00:15:18,017 --> 00:15:20,119
BUT WHAT IS IN IT WHEN YOU READ 

613
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:22,788
IT, BESIDES -- I MEAN I 

614
00:15:22,788 --> 00:15:24,423
WORKED AT THE U.N. , BELIEVE IT 

615
00:15:24,423 --> 00:15:24,590
OR 

616
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:26,191
NOT, AT ONE TIME. 

617
00:15:26,191 --> 00:15:28,894
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN 

618
00:15:28,894 --> 00:15:31,030
CODIFYCODIFY WRITE OR PUT INK ON

619
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:31,530
PAPER TO 

620
00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:32,831
RECOGNIZE, AS THEY SAY, 

621
00:15:32,831 --> 00:15:36,635
HOW LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THE 

622
00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:37,336
400-YEAR- LONG 

623
00:15:37,336 --> 00:15:38,037
TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE. 

624
00:15:38,037 --> 00:15:40,272
I THINK WHAT I FOUND THE MOST 

625
00:15:40,272 --> 00:15:43,309
PROVOCATIVE AND PROFOUND IS THE 

626
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:45,277
COMBINING OF 

627
00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:47,112
SLAVERY, DEPORTATION AND 

628
00:15:47,112 --> 00:15:47,513
COLONIZATION AS 

629
00:15:47,513 --> 00:15:49,448
CRIMES AGAINST 

630
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:49,882
HUMANITY TOGETHER. 

631
00:15:49,882 --> 00:15:52,785
HAVING IT TALK ABOUT REPARATIONS

632
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:54,653
AND REPAIR, AND NOT JUST 

633
00:15:54,653 --> 00:15:56,221
IN TERMS OF WHAT WE NORMALLY 

634
00:15:56,221 --> 00:15:57,956
HEAR WHEN PEOPLE TALK 

635
00:15:57,956 --> 00:15:58,390
ABOUT REPARATIONS. 

636
00:15:58,390 --> 00:15:59,525
REPARATIONS MEANS REPAIR, 

637
00:15:59,525 --> 00:16:00,559
WHICH MEANS 

638
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:03,262
ACCOUNTABILITY, WHICH MEANS 

639
00:16:03,262 --> 00:16:05,798
APOLOGY, WHICH MEANS DO 

640
00:16:05,931 --> 00:16:08,267
SOMETHING. SO LOOKING AT THIS 

641
00:16:08,267 --> 00:16:08,901
AND 

642
00:16:08,901 --> 00:16:11,403
READING IT AND UNDERSTANDING HOW

643
00:16:11,403 --> 00:16:11,603
THEY 

644
00:16:11,603 --> 00:16:13,072
PULLED THIS TOGETHER AND 

645
00:16:13,072 --> 00:16:15,040
THEN HAVING CERTAIN COUNTRIES 

646
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:15,240
VOTE 

647
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,442
NO, BUT I THINK THE THING 

648
00:16:16,442 --> 00:16:18,210
THAT STRUCK ME THE MOST IS ONE 

649
00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:18,644
OF THE 

650
00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:20,879
MOST -- WELL, ALL OF IT IS 

651
00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:21,413
POWERFUL. 

652
00:16:21,413 --> 00:16:22,514
IT IS ONLY SEVEN PAGES IF YOU 

653
00:16:22,514 --> 00:16:23,649
GET A CHANCE TO READ IT. 

654
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:24,783
BUT I THINK THE 

655
00:16:24,783 --> 00:16:25,951
THING THAT CAUGHT MY HEART AND 

656
00:16:25,951 --> 00:16:26,151
MIND 

657
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:27,319
AND SOUL THE MOST IS THE VERY 

658
00:16:27,319 --> 00:16:29,588
END WHEN IT SAYS, IT CALLS 

659
00:16:29,588 --> 00:16:30,923
UPON MEMBER STATES INDIVIDUALLY 

660
00:16:30,923 --> 00:16:34,259

DIALOGUE, REPERTORY JUSTICE 

663
00:16:38,097 --> 00:16:40,666
INCLUDING A FULL AND FORMAL 

664
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:40,933
APOLOGY, 

665
00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:43,235
MEASURES OF RESTITUTION, 

666
00:16:43,235 --> 00:16:44,336
COMPENSATION, 

667
00:16:44,336 --> 00:16:46,739
REHABILITATION, SATISFACTION, 

668
00:16:46,739 --> 00:16:47,573
GUARANTEES OF 

669
00:16:47,573 --> 00:16:49,208
NON- REPETITION AND CHANGES 

670
00:16:49,208 --> 00:16:50,909
TO LAWS AND SERVICES TO ADDRESS 

671
00:16:50,909 --> 00:16:52,644
RACISM AND 

672
00:16:52,644 --> 00:16:53,212
SYSTEMIC DISCRIMINATION. 

673
00:16:53,212 --> 00:16:54,713
AND OF THE THREE COUNTRIES 

674
00:16:54,713 --> 00:16:56,815
THAT VOTED NO OUR COUNTRY WAS 

675
00:16:56,815 --> 00:16:57,049
ONE OF 

676
00:16:57,182 --> 00:17:00,019
THEM. SO THAT BEING SAID, THAT 

677
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:00,285
DOESN'T 

678
00:17:00,285 --> 00:17:01,520
TAKE AWAY FROM OUR HUMANITY 

679
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,389
AND WHAT WE KNOW TO BE TRUE AND 

680
00:17:03,389 --> 00:17:04,056
WHAT TO BE RIGHT. 

681
00:17:04,056 --> 00:17:05,724
SO WITH THAT I HOPE TO 

682
00:17:05,724 --> 00:17:06,825
WITH COUNCIL PRESIDENT LATER 

683
00:17:06,825 --> 00:17:08,660

00:28:31,876 --> 00:28:32,377
THAT'S CORRECT. 

1172
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:33,778
SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO

WEDNESDAY ABOUT SOME OF 

1182
00:28:45,123 --> 00:28:47,058
THE PREINTRODUCTION EDITS THAT 

1183
00:28:47,058 --> 00:28:50,328
FOLKS WILL SEE WITH THAT 

1184
00:28:50,328 --> 00:28:50,662
LEGISLATION. 

1185
00:28:50,795 --> 00:28:51,629
>> I HAVE 

1186
00:28:51,629 --> 00:28:51,930
A QUESTION. 

1187
00:28:51,930 --> 00:28:55,066

1189
00:28:55,967 --> 00:28:57,235
ALL, THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

1190
00:28:57,235 --> 00:28:58,737
FOSTER, FOR BEING SO 

1191
00:28:58,737 --> 00:28:59,471
GOOD ABOUT TALKING TO ALL OF US 

1192
00:28:59,471 --> 00:29:00,772
ABOUT THE SHELTER 

1193
00:29:00,772 --> 00:29:03,308
LEGISLATION WHEN ALL OF THIS 

1194
00:29:03,441 --> 00:29:05,343
STARTED. I THINK ONE OF 

1195
00:29:05,343 --> 00:29:06,878
THE CONVERSATIONS -- I DON'T 

1196
00:29:06,878 --> 00:29:07,112
KNOW -- 

1197
00:29:07,112 --> 00:29:07,912
I DON'T THINK YOU WERE IN 

1198
00:29:07,912 --> 00:29:09,314
THAT CONVERSATION, BUT WE WERE 

1199
00:29:09,314 --> 00:29:10,348
HAVING WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE 

1200
00:29:10,348 --> 00:29:10,515
AND 

1201
00:29:10,515 --> 00:29:11,549
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WAS 

1202
00:29:11,549 --> 00:29:11,816
PUT 

1203
00:29:11,816 --> 00:29:13,818
TO ME IS LIKE WHAT IS IT GOING 

1204
00:29:13,818 --> 00:29:16,387
TO TAKE TO GET YOU TO YES, AND 

1205
00:29:16,387 --> 00:29:16,554
MY 

1206
00:29:16,554 --> 00:29:17,822
RESPONSE WAS I THINK WE ARE ALL 

1207
00:29:17,822 --> 00:29:19,290
AT YES, WE JUST WANT TO KNOW 

1208
00:29:19,290 --> 00:29:21,092
HOW THE MAYOR GOT THERE, HOW THE

1209
00:29:21,092 --> 00:29:23,261
MAYOR'S OFFICE GOT TO 

1210
00:29:23,261 --> 00:29:25,263
THE FACTORS AND HOW THEY CITE 

1211
00:29:25,263 --> 00:29:25,463
TINY 

1212
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:26,397
HOUSE VILLAGES. 

1213
00:29:26,397 --> 00:29:27,932
I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE HAD 

1214
00:29:27,932 --> 00:29:30,001
THE DISCUSSION OF LOOKING AT 

1215
00:29:30,001 --> 00:29:32,403
THE MAPS, LOOKING AT HOW 

1216
00:29:32,403 --> 00:29:33,805
MANY TINY HOUSE 

1217
00:29:33,805 --> 00:29:34,839
VILLAGES ARE IN EACH DISTRICT, 

1218
00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:35,807
LOOKING AT THE TOP 

1219
00:29:35,807 --> 00:29:36,741
15 NEIGHBORHOODS IN SEATTLE 

1220
00:29:36,741 --> 00:29:38,143
AND WHETHER OR NOT -- AND THE 

1221
00:29:38,143 --> 00:29:39,644
MOST EXPENSIVE NEIGHBORHOODS IN 

1222
00:29:39,644 --> 00:29:41,946
WHICH THERE ARE WITHIN A FIVE- 

1223
00:29:41,946 --> 00:29:42,180
MILE 

1224
00:29:42,180 --> 00:29:43,882
RADIUS NO TINY HOUSE VILLAGES. 

1225
00:29:43,882 --> 00:29:45,784
SO ANY EXPANSION FROM 

1226
00:29:45,784 --> 00:29:47,585
SEVEN FACTORS TO 21 FACTORS. 

1227
00:29:47,585 --> 00:29:49,220
SO MY ANSWER FOR EVERYONE 

1228
00:29:49,220 --> 00:29:50,922
LISTENING, FOR GOD AND 

1229
00:29:50,922 --> 00:29:52,991
EVERYBODY, WAS NO ONE HAS -- I 

1230
00:29:53,124 --> 00:29:54,159
HAVE NEVER BEEN AT NO. I KNOW MY

1231
00:29:54,159 --> 00:29:54,559
COLLEAGUES HAVE 

1232
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:55,426
NEVER BEEN AT NO. 

1233
00:29:55,426 --> 00:29:56,895
WE HAVE ALWAYS JUST WANTED 

1234
00:29:56,895 --> 00:29:58,663
TO KNOW HOW DID YOU GET THERE, 

1235
00:29:58,663 --> 00:29:59,497
MAYOR'S OFFICE, ESPECIALLY 

1236
00:29:59,497 --> 00:30:02,300
SINCE WE ARE TRANSITIONING TO A 

1237
00:30:02,433 --> 00:30:02,634
NEW 

1238
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:04,035
ADMINISTRATION. SOME OF THE 

1239
00:30:04,035 --> 00:30:04,402
POLICIES I 

1240
00:30:04,402 --> 00:30:06,004
DON'T COMPLETELY AGREE WITH, 

1241
00:30:06,004 --> 00:30:06,905
BUT THAT'S NEITHER 

1242
00:30:06,905 --> 00:30:07,705
HERE FOR THERE BECAUSE AT THE 

1243
00:30:07,705 --> 00:30:08,406
END OF THE DAY OF 

1244
00:30:08,406 --> 00:30:09,340
COURSE WE WANT TO 

1245
00:30:09,340 --> 00:30:10,308
HOUSE PEOPLE THAT NEED THAT. 

1246
00:30:10,308 --> 00:30:11,676
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR 

1247
00:30:11,676 --> 00:30:13,978
DOING THE LEADERSHIP THAT I 

1248
00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:17,515
HAVE WATCHED YOU GROW INTO, 

1249
00:30:17,515 --> 00:30:18,483
AND I'M NOT SPEAKING IN A 

1250
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:18,783
DEROGATORY 

1251
00:30:18,783 --> 00:30:19,551
OR 

1252
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,486
MINIMIZING WAY. IT IS MORE OF A 

1253
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:23,221
WAY OF 

1254
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:26,057
REALLY WATCHING YOU EXPRESS 

1255
00:30:26,057 --> 00:30:26,291
SHARED 

1256
00:30:26,291 --> 00:30:29,227
LEADERSHIP, WHICH YOU DON'T 

1257
00:30:29,227 --> 00:30:32,897
NORMALLY SEE IN ANGELO WESTERN 

1258
00:30:32,897 --> 00:30:33,531
CONCEPT. 

1259
00:30:33,531 --> 00:30:35,300
IT IS MAINLY HIERARCHICAL. 

1260
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:36,734
TO HAVE SOMEONE 

1261
00:30:36,734 --> 00:30:38,570
WITH YOUR CALIBER TAKING THE 

1262
00:30:38,570 --> 00:30:38,870
TIME TO GO 

1263
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:40,705
IN EVERYONE'S OFFICE, TALK TO 

1264
00:30:40,705 --> 00:30:40,905
THEM 

1265
00:30:40,905 --> 00:30:44,142
CITY WIDE, DISTRICT WIDE, 

1266
00:30:44,142 --> 00:30:45,210
AND ALSO ABOUT TRANSPORTATION 

1267
00:30:45,210 --> 00:30:45,443
SPINES 

1268
00:30:45,443 --> 00:30:46,811
AND WHAT SERVICES AND 

1269
00:30:46,811 --> 00:30:48,112
WHAT TRANSPORTATION SPINES ARE 

1270
00:30:48,112 --> 00:30:50,348
THERE AND HOW CLOSE SERVICES 

1271
00:30:50,348 --> 00:30:50,648
ARE, NOT 

1272
00:30:50,648 --> 00:30:52,750
ONLY TO TINY HOUSE VILLAGES 

1273
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:54,485
BUT TO PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE 

1274
00:30:54,485 --> 00:30:54,719
HOUSING 

1275
00:30:54,719 --> 00:30:56,554
AND OTHER AREAS OF 

1276
00:30:56,554 --> 00:30:56,955
HOUSING, PRIVATE. 

1277
00:30:56,955 --> 00:30:59,090
SO IT ISN'T JUST TINY 

1278
00:30:59,090 --> 00:31:00,225
HOUSE VILLAGES THAT THE CITY 

1279
00:31:00,225 --> 00:31:02,694
OF SEATTLE IS OVERSEEING WITH 

1280
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:04,696
OPERATORS, IT IS THE 

1281
00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:06,064
COUNTY, IT IS CHURCHES. 

1282
00:31:06,064 --> 00:31:07,632
WE'VE SEEN THAT IN OTHER 

1283
00:31:07,632 --> 00:31:07,966
PLACES. 

1284
00:31:07,966 --> 00:31:11,135
LIKE A GOOD EXAMPLE IS SHARE 

1285
00:31:11,269 --> 00:31:12,770
WHEEL. THEY RELY ON THE GOOD 

1286
00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:13,037
WORTH AND 

1287
00:31:13,037 --> 00:31:14,205
FAITH OF RELIGIOUS 

1288
00:31:14,205 --> 00:31:16,741
INSTITUTIONS TO ALLOW THEM TO 

1289
00:31:16,741 --> 00:31:16,941
SITE 

1290
00:31:16,941 --> 00:31:18,943
THERE. ALSO, YOU TAKING THE TIME

1291
00:31:18,943 --> 00:31:19,877
ALONG WITH COUNCIL PRESIDENT, 

1292
00:31:19,877 --> 00:31:20,311
AND 

1293
00:31:20,311 --> 00:31:22,146
I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS, TO 

1294
00:31:22,146 --> 00:31:25,183
LOOK AT THE CONTRACTS THAT 

1295
00:31:25,183 --> 00:31:27,619
THE OPERATORS HAVE, THE CRITICAL

1296
00:31:27,619 --> 00:31:28,519
RESPONSE INCIDENT REPORTS 

1297
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:31,055
THAT ARE REQUIRED AND ALSO OUR 

1298
00:31:31,055 --> 00:31:31,289
PUBLIC 

1299
00:31:31,289 --> 00:31:31,823
RECORD. 

1300
00:31:31,823 --> 00:31:33,391
THE GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD -- 

1301
00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:34,692
THE GOOD NEIGHBOR AGREEMENTS 

1302
00:31:34,692 --> 00:31:34,926
WHICH, 

1303
00:31:34,926 --> 00:31:36,160
YOU KNOW, NEEDED TO BE. 

1304
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,362
AS SOMEONE HAS -- AND, 

1305
00:31:37,362 --> 00:31:38,863
AGAIN, BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN HERE,

1306
00:31:38,863 --> 00:31:39,063
IS 

1307
00:31:39,063 --> 00:31:41,666
I WATCHED THE TRANSITION FROM 

1308
00:31:41,666 --> 00:31:43,268
HSD WHEN THE KING COUNTY 

1309
00:31:43,268 --> 00:31:45,536
REGIONAL HOUSING WAS CREATED, 

1310
00:31:45,536 --> 00:31:46,804
HOW SOME OF 

1311
00:31:46,804 --> 00:31:48,339
THOSE CONTRACTS MIGRATED TO 

1312
00:31:48,339 --> 00:31:51,209
KING COUNTY REGIONAL 

1313
00:31:51,209 --> 00:31:51,809
HOUSING BUT REALLY WEREN'T 

1314
00:31:51,809 --> 00:31:52,076
CHANGED. 

1315
00:31:52,076 --> 00:31:52,777
I SAID IT BEFORE AND I WILL SAY 

1316
00:31:52,777 --> 00:31:55,113
IT AGAIN ON THE RECORD, THE WERE

1317

1500
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:40,064
RESIDENTS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING 

1501
00:36:40,064 --> 00:36:40,231
WE 

1502
00:36:40,231 --> 00:36:41,399
ARE WATCHING CLOSELY, THAT WE 

1503
00:36:41,399 --> 00:36:41,599
SIT 

1504
00:36:41,599 --> 00:36:42,400
ON THE COMMITTEE. 

1505
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,834
IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE 

1506
00:36:43,834 --> 00:36:45,736
REGIONAL WATER QUALITY COMMITTEE

1507
00:36:45,736 --> 00:36:47,271
HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT JUST 

1508
00:36:47,271 --> 00:36:49,173
AS WE ARE THINKING 

1509
00:36:49,173 --> 00:36:51,475
ABOUT AFFORDABILITY IN THAT 

1510
00:36:51,475 --> 00:36:52,043
PIECE. 

1511
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:53,744
WE CANNOT HANDLE DOUBLE- 

1512
00:36:53,744 --> 00:36:55,012
DIGIT INCREASES FOR THE NEXT SIX

1513
00:36:55,012 --> 00:36:56,547
YEARS FOR OUR RESIDENTS AT ALL. 

1514
00:36:56,547 --> 00:36:59,850
FULL STOP. 

1515
00:36:59,850 --> 00:37:01,886
NEXT, SORRY, AS WE 

1516
00:37:01,886 --> 00:37:03,354
ARE TRANSITIONING -- SORRY, I 

1517
00:37:03,354 --> 00:37:04,422
WENT A LITTLE HARD THERE. 

1518
00:37:04,422 --> 00:37:05,823
WELL, THERE'S NOT -- IT IS 

1519
00:37:05,823 --> 00:37:07,692
20% OF YOUR WATER BILL, AND 

1520
00:37:07,692 --> 00:37:08,960
SO PEOPLE -- RESIDENTS, THE 

1521
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,595
FIRST THING THEY'RE GOING TO 

1522
00:37:10,595 --> 00:37:10,895
SAY IS 

1523
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:12,530
SEATTLE HAS RAISED YOUR WATER 

1524
00:37:12,530 --> 00:37:14,532
BILL, AND THAT IS NOT THE CASE. 

1525
00:37:14,532 --> 00:37:18,135
WE HAVE RATES THAT ARE ABOUT 

1526
00:37:18,135 --> 00:37:19,604
5% EVERY YEAR OVER YEAR, 

1527
00:37:19,604 --> 00:37:21,372
AND, YOU KNOW, WE VOTE ON RATES 

1528
00:37:21,372 --> 00:37:21,539
TWO 

1529
00:37:21,539 --> 00:37:24,542
TO THREE YEARS AND WE HAVE A 

1530
00:37:24,542 --> 00:37:24,742
PLAN. 

1531
00:37:24,742 --> 00:37:26,210
WHAT KING COUNTY IS PROPOSING IS

1532
00:37:26,210 --> 00:37:27,712
NOT SUSTAINABLE AT ALL, AND 

1533
00:37:27,712 --> 00:37:29,313
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WILL

1534
00:37:29,313 --> 00:37:29,480
BE 

1535
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,415
ADVOCATING AND BE VERY 

1536
00:37:31,415 --> 00:37:33,384
LOUD ABOUT AS WE ARE TRYING 

1537
00:37:33,384 --> 00:37:35,886
TO NAVIGATE THIS. 

1538
00:37:35,886 --> 00:37:36,354
COUNCILMEMBER 

1539
00:37:36,354 --> 00:37:36,587
RINCK. 

1540
00:37:36,587 --> 00:37:37,855
>> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS 

1541
00:37:37,855 --> 00:37:38,723
UP, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. 

1542
00:37:38,723 --> 00:37:40,458

QUICKLY WHAT THE 

1544
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:41,859
DECISIONMAKINGDECISIONMAKING 

1545
00:37:41,993 --> 00:37:44,795
IS. I HAVEN'T SAT ON RWQC FOR 

1546
00:37:44,795 --> 00:37:45,896
YOUR COMMITTEE SO I'M TRYING 

1547
00:37:45,896 --> 00:37:46,831
TO UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP 

1548
00:37:46,831 --> 00:37:49,266
AND THE DECISIONMAKING. 

1549
00:37:49,266 --> 00:37:51,502
DOES RWQC VOTE ON 

1550
00:37:51,502 --> 00:37:53,671
A RECOMMENDATION THAT GOES TO 

1551
00:37:53,671 --> 00:37:54,438
KING COUNTY 

1552
00:37:54,438 --> 00:37:54,705
COUNCIL? 

1553
00:37:54,705 --> 00:37:57,041
>> THAT'S CORRECT, AND THEN 

1554
00:37:57,041 --> 00:37:58,442
KING COUNTY COUNCIL VOTES ON 

1555
00:37:58,442 --> 00:37:58,909
THE RATES. 

1556
00:37:58,909 --> 00:38:02,013
MY ASK IN WORKING WITH THEM, 

1557
00:38:02,013 --> 00:38:03,948
THE CHAIR HAS BEEN 

1558
00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:04,615
PHENOMENAL USHERING THIS. 

1559
00:38:04,615 --> 00:38:05,816
THERE'S NOT ONE PERSON THAT IS 

1560
00:38:05,816 --> 00:38:07,551
LIKE, YEAH, RATES NEED 

1561
00:38:07,551 --> 00:38:07,885
TO INCREASE. 

1562
00:38:07,885 --> 00:38:10,588
WE'VE ASKED FOR A NUMBER 

1563
00:38:10,588 --> 00:38:11,489
OF THINGS IN PLANNING, NOT JUST 

1564
00:38:11,489 --> 00:38:11,656
ONE 

1565
00:38:11,656 --> 00:38:12,723
YEAR, GETTING RATES EVERY ONE 

1566
00:38:12,723 --> 00:38:14,992
YEAR, HAVING A PLAN SO WE CAN 

1567
00:38:14,992 --> 00:38:15,660
UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, 

1568
00:38:15,660 --> 00:38:17,895
THE INCREASES THAT ARE COMING 

1569
00:38:17,895 --> 00:38:18,829
OVER MULTIPLE YEARS. 

1570
00:38:18,829 --> 00:38:19,897
BUT THE CURRENT PROPOSAL 

1571
00:38:19,897 --> 00:38:22,199
THAT'S IN FRONT OF US OF THE 

1572
00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:24,468
DOUBLE DIGITS FOR THE NEXT SIX 

1573
00:38:24,468 --> 00:38:25,503
YEARS IS 

1574
00:38:25,503 --> 00:38:27,238
TOTAL -- IS NOT -- IS 

1575
00:38:27,238 --> 00:38:29,040
SOMETHING THAT I AM PUSHING BACK

1576
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,043
HEAVILY ON. SPEAK 

1577
00:38:32,043 --> 00:38:33,010
FOR COUNCILMEMBER LIN OR 

1578
00:38:33,010 --> 00:38:33,277
ANYTHING, 

1579
00:38:33,277 --> 00:38:35,913
I KNOW HE SITS ON THE COMMITTEE 

1580
00:38:35,913 --> 00:38:36,947
AS 

1581
00:38:37,081 --> 00:38:37,581
WELL. COUNCILMEMBER LIN. 

1582
00:38:37,715 --> 00:38:38,582
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY THIS 

1583
00:38:38,582 --> 00:38:40,751
ISSUE IS NOT JUST AFFECTING 

1584
00:38:40,751 --> 00:38:41,185
SEATTLE RESIDENTS. 

1585
00:38:41,185 --> 00:38:43,387
I MEAN THESE CHARGES GET 

1586
00:38:43,387 --> 00:38:45,389
PASSED ON TO OTHER JURISDICTIONS

1587
00:38:45,389 --> 00:38:45,556
AS 

1588
00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:48,159
WELL. SO IT IS CERTAINLY REGION 

1589
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:48,492
WIDE 

1590
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:51,295
ISSUE THAT SOMEHOW I DO THINK WE

1591
00:38:51,295 --> 00:38:52,663
COLLECTIVELY NEED TO GET 

1592
00:38:52,663 --> 00:38:53,964
OUR ARMS AROUND. 

1593
00:38:53,964 --> 00:38:56,000
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY 

1594
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:02,373
EASY ANSWERS TO THESE RISING 

1595
00:39:02,373 --> 00:39:02,640
COSTS ON 

1596
00:39:02,773 --> 00:39:03,274
DRAINAGE AND WASTEWATER. 

1597
00:39:03,274 --> 00:39:03,941
CERTAINLY I DON'T KNOW IF WE 

1598
00:39:03,941 --> 00:39:05,109
NEED HELP FROM STATE PARTNERS 

1599
00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:07,244
OR WHAT THE SOLUTION IS, BUT WE 

1600
00:39:07,244 --> 00:39:07,445
-- 

1601
00:39:07,445 --> 00:39:10,981
AT A MINIMUM WE NEED BETTER 

1602
00:39:10,981 --> 00:39:11,882
LONG- TERM PLANNING. 

1603
00:39:11,882 --> 00:39:13,551
BUT, YEAH, WITH RISING 

1604
00:39:13,551 --> 00:39:15,052
COSTS, IT IS DIRECTLY GOING TO 

1605
00:39:15,052 --> 00:39:15,286
IMPACT 

1606
00:39:15,286 --> 00:39:17,021
ALL OF OUR 

1607
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:17,488
AFFORDABILITY GOALS. 

1608
00:39:17,488 --> 00:39:17,788
>> AWESOME. 

1609
00:39:17,788 --> 00:39:18,789
THANK YOU FOR 

1610
00:39:18,789 --> 00:39:19,457
THAT, COUNCILMEMBER LIN. 

1611
00:39:19,457 --> 00:39:21,158
WE ARE NOT VOTING ON IT YET. 

1612
00:39:21,158 --> 00:39:22,660
WE HAVE BEEN GETTING UPDATES. 

1613
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:24,161
WE WROTE A LETTER. 

1614
00:39:24,161 --> 00:39:25,463
WE JUST WANT BETTER LONG- 

1615
00:39:25,463 --> 00:39:26,831
TERM PLANNING FROM OUR COUNTY 

1616
00:39:26,831 --> 00:39:29,333
PARTNERS, AND I KNOW THEY DO 

1617
00:39:29,467 --> 00:39:30,868
TOO. IT IS NOT EASY, ANY ANSWER,

1618
00:39:30,868 --> 00:39:31,035
BUT 

1619
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:32,303
I THINK THE CURRENT PROPOSAL 

1620
00:39:32,303 --> 00:39:35,439
AT HAND IS SOMETHING THAT IS 

1621
00:39:35,439 --> 00:39:36,674
NOT SUSTAINABLE FOR RESIDENTS 

1622
00:39:36,674 --> 00:39:37,174
AT ALL. 

1623
00:39:37,174 --> 00:39:38,642
SO I WILL SAY THAT. 

1624
00:39:38,642 --> 00:39:43,881
YEAH, YOU LOVE WRITING 

1625
00:39:43,881 --> 00:39:44,148

CLEARLY. SORRY.

00:41:11,402 --> 00:41:14,305
SAY THAT FOR THE RECORD BECAUSE 

1684
00:41:14,438 --> 00:41:16,207
ANYTHING THAT HAS -- ANY 

1685
00:41:16,207 --> 00:41:18,776
COMMENT THAT CAN MAKE IT SEEM 

1686
00:41:18,776 --> 00:41:19,176
LIKE 

1687
00:41:19,176 --> 00:41:20,911
COUNCIL HAS BEEN SLOWING DOWN 

1688
00:41:20,911 --> 00:41:22,913
ANYTHING, COMPLETELY PUSH 

1689
00:41:22,913 --> 00:41:23,514
BACK ON AT ALL. 

1690
00:41:23,514 --> 00:41:25,149
YOU CAN TALK TO EVERY 

1691
00:41:25,149 --> 00:41:26,617
SINGLE COLLEAGUE ON HERE BECAUSE

1692
00:41:26,617 --> 00:41:26,784
WE 

1693
00:41:26,784 --> 00:41:29,820
HAVE ALL MADE A VALIANT EFFORT 

1694
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:31,021
TO GET STUFF PUSHED THROUGH 

1695
00:41:31,021 --> 00:41:33,524
AND TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALSO 

1696
00:41:33,524 --> 00:41:34,124
GETTING 

1697
00:41:34,124 --> 00:41:35,125
PROPERLY SITED SHELTERS THAT 

1698
00:41:35,125 --> 00:41:36,093
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. 

1699
00:41:36,093 --> 00:41:36,794
I THINK THAT'S THE KEY. 

1700
00:41:36,794 --> 00:41:38,262
IT IS NOT THE SPEED OF STUFF. 

1701
00:41:38,262 --> 00:41:40,030
IT IS GETTING STUFF 

1702
00:41:40,030 --> 00:41:41,432
PROPERLY SITED SO THEY CAN BE 

1703
00:41:41,432 --> 00:41:42,433
SUCCESSFUL SO EVERYONE WILL SAY,

1704
00:41:42,433 --> 00:41:42,733
I 

1705
00:41:42,733 --> 00:41:44,235
WOULD LIKE THIS IN MY 

1706
00:41:44,235 --> 00:41:44,568
NEIGHBORHOOD, 

1707
00:41:44,568 --> 00:41:48,539
RIGHT? OR WE WELCOME THIS, THIS 

1708
00:41:48,539 --> 00:41:48,739
MAKES 

1709
00:41:48,873 --> 00:41:49,473
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFER, WE WANT 

1710
00:41:49,473 --> 00:41:50,608
TO GET PEOPLE OFF THE STREET AND

1711
00:41:50,608 --> 00:41:52,209
HOUSED AND BE SUCCESSFUL. 

1712
00:41:52,209 --> 00:41:53,677
SO THERE'S A PROCESS TO THAT. 

1713
00:41:53,677 --> 00:41:54,879
ANYWAYS, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I

1714
00:41:54,879 --> 00:41:57,781
SAID THAT BEFORE I ENDED 

1715
00:41:57,781 --> 00:41:57,948
ANY 

1716
00:41:57,948 --> 00:41:58,749
COMMENTS. 

1717
00:41:58,749 --> 00:41:59,216
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ. 

1718
00:41:59,216 --> 00:41:59,984
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, YOU 

1719
00:41:59,984 --> 00:42:02,720
SAID SOMETHING AND I THINK 

1720
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:04,521
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS OFF LINE, I

1721
00:42:04,521 --> 00:42:06,090
KNOW COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER AND I 

1722
00:42:06,090 --> 00:42:06,290
DID, 

1723
00:42:06,290 --> 00:42:07,725
ON THE GOOD NEIGHBOR AGREEMENTS.

1724
00:42:07,725 --> 00:42:08,325
YOU HAD THOUGHTS 

1725
00:42:08,325 --> 00:42:08,626
ABOUT THAT. 

1726
00:42:08,626 --> 00:42:08,993
>> I DO. 

1727
00:42:09,126 --> 00:42:11,662
>> WOULD YOU MIND SHARING JUST 

1728
00:42:11,662 --> 00:42:13,797
A LITTLE BIT FOR -- I'M SORRY. 

1729
00:42:13,797 --> 00:42:15,165
I DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE 

1730
00:42:15,165 --> 00:42:16,534
SPOT, BUT I THINK SOME OF 

1731
00:42:16,534 --> 00:42:18,936
WHAT YOU SHARED WITH ME WAS 

1732
00:42:18,936 --> 00:42:20,571
OBVIOUSLY NOT ONLY WELL 

1733
00:42:20,571 --> 00:42:20,905
ARTICULATED, 

1734
00:42:20,905 --> 00:42:23,741
BUT FOR LEADERSHIP PURPOSES GAVE

1735
00:42:23,741 --> 00:42:25,609
US SOME DIRECTION, WHAT YOU 

1736
00:42:25,609 --> 00:42:26,911
WERE THINKING AS 

1737
00:42:26,911 --> 00:42:27,344
COUNCIL PRESIDENT. 

1738
00:42:27,344 --> 00:42:27,611
>> YEAH. 

1739
00:42:27,611 --> 00:42:29,313
SO I THINK WE HAVE ALL -- 

1740
00:42:29,313 --> 00:42:31,215
I DON'T WANT TO SAY CONCERNS, 

1741
00:42:31,215 --> 00:42:31,382
BUT 

1742
00:42:31,382 --> 00:42:33,083
WE'VE ALL EXPERIENCED 

1743
00:42:33,083 --> 00:42:33,951
DIFFERENT FEEDBACK FROM 

1744
00:42:33,951 --> 00:42:34,852
DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS WHEN 

1745
00:42:34,852 --> 00:42:36,620
THERE MIGHT BE SOME TYPE OF 

1746
00:42:36,620 --> 00:42:37,187
ISSUE 

1747
00:42:37,187 --> 00:42:37,988
GOING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 

1748
00:42:37,988 --> 00:42:39,023
THE FIRST THING 

1749
00:42:39,023 --> 00:42:40,157
THAT NEIGHBORHOODS ASK, WELL, 

1750
00:42:40,157 --> 00:42:40,391
WHO 

1751
00:42:40,391 --> 00:42:41,091
CAN WE CONTACT? 

1752
00:42:41,091 --> 00:42:42,826
IS THERE A CONTACT ON SITE? 

1753
00:42:42,826 --> 00:42:44,161
IS THERE AN E-MAIL? 

1754
00:42:44,161 --> 00:42:45,596
IS THERE A NUMBER, YOU 

1755
00:42:45,596 --> 00:42:46,797

1756
00:42:46,797 --> 00:42:47,064
THIS IS 

1757
00:42:47,064 --> 00:42:49,099
WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR 

1758
00:42:49,099 --> 00:42:50,267
NEIGHBORHOOD, TO BE ABLE TO -- 

1759
00:42:50,267 --> 00:42:54,972
YOU KNOW, SOME ISSUES THAT ARE 

1760
00:42:55,105 --> 00:42:56,540
PRESENTED. IN OUR 

1761
00:42:56,540 --> 00:42:57,174
GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD AGREEMENTS, A 

1762
00:42:57,174 --> 00:42:57,808
LOT OF THEM 

1763
00:42:57,808 --> 00:42:59,176
ARE DIFFERENT PER PROVIDER. 

1764
00:42:59,176 --> 00:42:59,977
THEY'RE DIFFERENT FOR 

1765
00:42:59,977 --> 00:43:00,411
DEPARTMENT. 

1766
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:01,779
THEY MIGHT BE DIFFERENT AT KING 

1767
00:43:01,779 --> 00:43:03,714
COUNTY REGIONAL HOMELESS 

1768
00:43:03,714 --> 00:43:04,481

1769
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:05,115
HAVE STUFF THAT'S DIFFERENT 

1770
00:43:05,115 --> 00:43:05,549
THAN OUR 

1771
00:43:05,549 --> 00:43:06,617
HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT. 

1772
00:43:06,617 --> 00:43:07,484
THEY'RE DIFFERENT AT KING 

1773
00:43:07,618 --> 00:43:08,819
COUNTY. THEY'RE ALL OVER 

1774
00:43:08,819 --> 00:43:09,853
THE PLACE. ONE OF THE THINGS 

1775
00:43:09,853 --> 00:43:10,220
THAT WE 

1776
00:43:10,220 --> 00:43:12,723
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE 

1777
00:43:12,723 --> 00:43:15,292
DOING IS WHO IS THE POINT OF 

1778
00:43:15,292 --> 00:43:16,060
CONTACT 

1779
00:43:16,060 --> 00:43:17,361
PER SHELTER? 

1780
00:43:17,361 --> 00:43:18,963
IS THERE A 24- HOUR LINE 

1781
00:43:18,963 --> 00:43:20,331
THAT SOMEONE CAN CALL AND GET A 

1782
00:43:20,331 --> 00:43:21,999
PERSON, NOT AN A.I. BUT GET 

1783
00:43:21,999 --> 00:43:23,634
AN ACTUAL PERSON IF THERE'S 

1784
00:43:23,634 --> 00:43:25,402
ISSUES THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE

1785
00:43:25,402 --> 00:43:27,037
NEIGHBORHOOD? 

1786
00:43:27,037 --> 00:43:29,073
HOW OFTEN ARE SHELTERS 

1787
00:43:29,073 --> 00:43:29,873
OR PROVIDERS MEETING 

1788
00:43:29,873 --> 00:43:31,308
WITH NEIGHBORHOODS TO TELL THEM,

1789
00:43:31,308 --> 00:43:32,810
HEY, HERE IS WHAT IS GOING ON, 

1790
00:43:32,810 --> 00:43:33,010
THIS 

1791
00:43:33,010 --> 00:43:35,512
IS THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WE ARE

1792
00:43:35,512 --> 00:43:36,680
PUTTING. 

1793
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:37,247
JUST GIVING PEOPLE AN 

1794
00:43:37,247 --> 00:43:38,682
UPDATE, JUST HAVING THAT 

1795
00:43:38,682 --> 00:43:39,049
CONNECTION WITH 

1796
00:43:39,049 --> 00:43:39,683
FOLKS. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING 

1797
00:43:39,683 --> 00:43:39,883
WHERE 

1798
00:43:39,883 --> 00:43:41,318
WE ARE GOING TO SAY, YOU ARE 

1799
00:43:41,318 --> 00:43:42,753
GOING TO GET YOUR FUNDING CUT IF

1800
00:43:42,753 --> 00:43:44,121
YOU DON'T DO THIS AND THIS AND 

1801
00:43:44,121 --> 00:43:44,321
THIS. 

1802
00:43:44,321 --> 00:43:46,523
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE SAYING. 

1803
00:43:46,523 --> 00:43:47,224
WE ARE ACTUALLY ASKING 

1804
00:43:47,224 --> 00:43:48,792
FOR BETTER OPEN LINES 

1805
00:43:48,792 --> 00:43:50,894
OF COMMUNICATION WITH OUR 

1806
00:43:50,894 --> 00:43:51,729
PROVIDERS AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS 

1807
00:43:51,729 --> 00:43:52,029
SO IT 

1808
00:43:52,029 --> 00:43:54,732
IS NOT THE COUNCIL MEMBER AT 

1809
00:43:54,732 --> 00:43:57,067

ON YOUR CITY LINE REGARDING 

1812
00:43:59,236 --> 00:44:01,105
CERTAIN THINGS AND THEN YOU ARE 

1813
00:44:01,105 --> 00:44:03,073
CALLING THE POLICE AND, YOU 

1814
00:44:03,073 --> 00:44:03,641
KNOW,

00:44:03,641 --> 00:44:04,975
WE'RE CUTTING THE MIDDLE FOLKS 

1816
00:44:04,975 --> 00:44:05,442
OUT 

1817
00:44:05,442 --> 00:44:06,643
SO FOLKS CAN HAVE DIRECT ACCESS 

1818
00:44:06,643 --> 00:44:09,279
TO THESE PROVIDERS AND PEOPLE 

1819
00:44:09,279 --> 00:44:10,314
ON SITE SO THEY CAN ADDRESS 

1820
00:44:10,314 --> 00:44:10,514
THEIR 

1821
00:44:10,648 --> 00:44:11,048
CONCERNS. 

1822
00:44:11,048 --> 00:44:12,883

1823
00:44:12,883 --> 00:44:13,717

00:44:25,496 --> 00:44:27,398

THOSE ARE SERIOUS CRIMES. 

1841
00:44:32,036 --> 00:44:33,804
SCHEDULE TWO ARE SERIOUS 

1842
00:44:33,804 --> 00:44:34,538

TINY HOUSE VILLAGES BUT THOSE 

1857

00:45:28,592 --> 00:45:29,693
THAT ARE HAPPENING INSIDE AND 

1879
00:45:29,693 --> 00:45:29,993

1883
00:45:35,399 --> 00:45:36,567
BY LAW THERE ARE CERTAIN 

1884
00:45:36,567 --> 00:45:38,869
THINGS YOU MUST REPORT, BUT 

1885
00:45:38,869 --> 00:45:39,103

THOUGH THEY'RE PUBLIC RECORDS. 

1890
00:45:45,709 --> 00:45:47,044
SO THAT'S ALL I WAS TRYING TO 

1891
00:45:47,044 --> 00:45:48,746

DISTRICT, LIKE YOU SAID, 

1896
00:45:55,018 --> 00:45:57,454
SO YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE CALL 

1897
00:45:57,454 --> 00:45:59,089
AS A 

1898
00:45:59,089 --> 00:45:59,656
COUNCILMEMBER ON YOUR WORK 

1899
00:45:59,656 --> 00:46:01,291

AND NOBODY IS THERE TO PICK UP 

1904
00:46:05,929 --> 00:46:06,296
THE PHONE. 

1905
00:46:06,296 --> 00:46:06,797
SO THANK YOU. 

1906
00:46:06,797 --> 00:46:08,532
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO 

1907
00:46:08,532 --> 00:46:08,699
SAY 

1908
00:46:08,699 --> 00:46:08,999
SOMETHING. 

1909
00:46:08,999 --> 00:46:09,233
>> OH, 

1910
00:46:09,233 --> 00:46:09,399
NO. 

1911
00:46:09,399 --> 00:46:11,368
>> I WAS GOING TO JUMP 

1912
00:46:11,368 --> 00:46:11,668
IN ON -- 

1913
00:46:11,668 --> 00:46:12,035
>> OH, 

1914
00:46:12,035 --> 00:46:12,269
SORRY. 

1915
00:46:12,269 --> 00:46:12,903
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. 

1916
00:46:12,903 --> 00:46:14,738
I JUST WANTED TO SAY, SORT 

1917
00:46:14,738 --> 00:46:16,540
OF LIKE I ALLUDED TO THIS 

1918
00:46:16,540 --> 00:46:18,809
EARLIER WHEN I WAS MENTIONING, 

1919
00:46:18,809 --> 00:46:20,344
CONFIRMING THINGS WITH 

1920
00:46:20,344 --> 00:46:21,411
KCRHA BECAUSE WE HAD 

1921
00:46:21,411 --> 00:46:22,546
THE CONVERSATION WITH THEM ABOUT

1922
00:46:22,546 --> 00:46:22,780
THE 

1923
00:46:22,780 --> 00:46:23,680
CRITICAL INCIDENT REPORTS AND 

1924
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:24,014
THOSE 

1925
00:46:24,014 --> 00:46:25,082
ARE THANKS THAT THE PROVIDERS 

1926
00:46:25,082 --> 00:46:27,451
DO REPORT TO, AS YOU MENTIONED, 

1927
00:46:27,451 --> 00:46:29,686
ALREADY REPORT TO KCRHA, BUT 

1928
00:46:29,686 --> 00:46:30,954
I THINK PART OF THE CHALLENGE 

1929
00:46:30,954 --> 00:46:32,489
HAS BEEN THAT IF YOU ARE A 

1930
00:46:32,489 --> 00:46:34,291
MEMBER OF 

1931
00:46:34,291 --> 00:46:34,858
THE PUBLIC YOU PROBABLY GO 

1932
00:46:34,858 --> 00:46:40,097
TO YOUR COUNCILMEMBER NOT TO THE

1933
00:46:40,097 --> 00:46:42,633
KCRHA ADMINISTRATOR. 

1934
00:46:42,633 --> 00:46:44,201
FOR COUNCILMEMBERS HAVING 

1935
00:46:44,201 --> 00:46:45,402
THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE WE 

1936
00:46:45,402 --> 00:46:45,569
CAN 

1937
00:46:45,569 --> 00:46:47,504
BETTER RESPOND TO FOLKS 

1938
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:49,006
AND SHORTEN THE CONSTITUENT 

1939
00:46:49,006 --> 00:46:49,273
RESPONSE 

1940
00:46:49,273 --> 00:46:50,474
TIME WHEN WE GET THE INQUIRIES. 

1941
00:46:50,474 --> 00:46:52,109
I WANTED TO SAY BECAUSE I 

1942
00:46:52,109 --> 00:46:53,343
DON'T THINK YOU ARE IMPLYING 

1943
00:46:53,343 --> 00:46:53,710
THIS 

1944
00:46:53,710 --> 00:46:55,512
SO I WILL SAY IT ANYWAYS, YOU 

1945
00:46:55,512 --> 00:46:55,913
KNOW, 

1946
00:46:55,913 --> 00:46:57,181
I THINK -- LET ME BACK UP. 

1947
00:46:57,181 --> 00:46:59,183
YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONE, TWO -- 

1948
00:46:59,183 --> 00:47:01,084
I WOULD SAY CAN WALK TO THREE 

1949
00:47:01,084 --> 00:47:01,285
TINY 

1950
00:47:01,285 --> 00:47:03,120
HOUSES FROM WHERE I LIVE 

1951
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,421
IN SOUTH SEATTLE, AND ONE OF 

1952
00:47:04,421 --> 00:47:04,655
THEM 

1953
00:47:04,655 --> 00:47:05,322
IS ABOUT TO OPEN. 

1954
00:47:05,322 --> 00:47:07,758
SO I'LL COUNT IT THOUGH, 

1955
00:47:07,758 --> 00:47:07,958
WITH 

1956
00:47:07,958 --> 00:47:09,226
THREE. I THINK IT IS REALLY 

1957
00:47:09,226 --> 00:47:11,395
IMPORTANT, LIKE WE WALKED, SOME 

1958
00:47:11,395 --> 00:47:11,562
OF 

1959
00:47:11,562 --> 00:47:13,130
THEM HAVE MOVED AROUND AND WE 

1960
00:47:13,130 --> 00:47:14,498
WALKED AND BROUGHT THINGS 

1961
00:47:14,498 --> 00:47:15,666
OVER THERE. THERE'S TONS OF 

1962
00:47:15,666 --> 00:47:16,266
KIDS WHO 

1963
00:47:16,266 --> 00:47:16,833
LIVE IN ONE OF THEM. 

1964
00:47:16,833 --> 00:47:18,168
THE KIDS ARE ALWAYS OUT 

1965
00:47:18,168 --> 00:47:19,403
PLAYING, WE WILL SEE THEM OUT. 

1966
00:47:19,403 --> 00:47:20,470
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO SAY 

1967
00:47:20,470 --> 00:47:22,105
A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT TINY 

1968
00:47:22,105 --> 00:47:22,306
HOUSE 

1969
00:47:22,306 --> 00:47:23,173
VILLAGES HAVE 

1970
00:47:23,173 --> 00:47:24,107
DIFFERENT POPULATIONS AND 

1971
00:47:24,107 --> 00:47:25,409
DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WITHIN 

1972
00:47:25,409 --> 00:47:25,609
THEM, 

1973
00:47:25,609 --> 00:47:26,944
WHETHER, YOU KNOW, SOME MAY 

1974
00:47:26,944 --> 00:47:29,046
BE SERVING HIGH ACUITY, SOME MAY

1975
00:47:29,046 --> 00:47:31,114
BE SERVING LOWER ACUITY 

1976
00:47:31,114 --> 00:47:32,015
AND THAT WILL JUST BE DIFFERENT 

1977
00:47:32,015 --> 00:47:32,616
ACROSS THE BOARD. 

1978
00:47:32,616 --> 00:47:33,784
I DO THINK SOMETIMES ONE OF 

1979
00:47:33,784 --> 00:47:35,586
THE THINGS THAT HAPPENS 

1980
00:47:35,586 --> 00:47:36,486
INADVERTENTLY IS WHEN WE 

1981
00:47:36,486 --> 00:47:37,855
ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CRITICAL 

1982
00:47:37,855 --> 00:47:39,056
INCIDENT REPORTS OR SOME OF THE 

1983
00:47:39,056 --> 00:47:41,925
PLACES WHERE WE'VE HAD 

1984
00:47:41,925 --> 00:47:44,261
VIOLENCE OR OTHER THINGS 

1985
00:47:44,261 --> 00:47:44,795
HAPPENING THAT 

1986
00:47:44,795 --> 00:47:46,530
IT MAY SOUND LIKE WE 

1987
00:47:46,530 --> 00:47:48,298
ARE IMPLYING THAT HAPPENS AT 

1988
00:47:48,298 --> 00:47:48,498
EVERY 

1989
00:47:48,498 --> 00:47:50,200
LOCATION, AND WE'RE NOT, RIGHT.

1990
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,703
BUT WE'RE SAYING WE WANT TO 

1991
00:47:52,703 --> 00:47:53,203
MAKE 

1992
00:47:53,203 --> 00:47:54,004
SURE THAT WE HAVE 

1993
00:47:54,004 --> 00:47:55,072
THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE SO WE

1994
00:47:55,072 --> 00:47:56,673
CAN THEN BE RESPONSIVE. 

1995
00:47:56,673 --> 00:47:59,076
SO JUST FELT IMPORTANT FOR ME 

1996
00:47:59,076 --> 00:48:01,612
TOTO SAY -- STATE IT 

1997
00:48:01,612 --> 00:48:01,878
THAT WAY. 

1998
00:48:02,012 --> 00:48:02,346
>> ABSOLUTELY. 

1999
00:48:02,346 --> 00:48:02,613
>> YEAH. 

2000
00:48:02,746 --> 00:48:03,580
>> AND I THINK -- AND I'M SO 

2001
00:48:03,580 --> 00:48:05,015
GLAD YOU SAID THAT BECAUSE 

2002
00:48:05,015 --> 00:48:07,517
WE KNOW HOW PEOPLE TAKE OUR 

2003
00:48:07,517 --> 00:48:07,985
WORDS 

2004
00:48:07,985 --> 00:48:12,222
AND THEY, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. 

2005
00:48:12,222 --> 00:48:13,824
I WILL SAY FROM MY 

2006
00:48:13,824 --> 00:48:15,158
UNDERSTANDING THE FIRST 500 

2007
00:48:15,158 --> 00:48:16,026
SHELTERS 

2008
00:48:16,026 --> 00:48:17,761
ARE RESERVED -- NOT GOING TO 

2009
00:48:17,761 --> 00:48:18,929
SAY RESERVED BUT THE PRIORITY 

2010
00:48:18,929 --> 00:48:20,464
IS HIGH ACUITY FOLKS. 

2011
00:48:20,464 --> 00:48:22,499
SO THAT EVEN CHANGED 

2012
00:48:22,499 --> 00:48:27,804
MY AMENDMENTS TO FAMILIES 

2013
00:48:27,804 --> 00:48:30,507
AND CHILDREN FOR THE FIRST 1,000

2014
00:48:30,507 --> 00:48:31,808
SO WE WOULDN'T BIND THE 

2015
00:48:31,808 --> 00:48:33,076
EXECUTIVE ON IDENTIFYING IT FOR 

2016
00:48:33,076 --> 00:48:33,644
THE FIRST 

2017
00:48:33,644 --> 00:48:34,945
500, BUT GIVING IT A LITTLE 

2018
00:48:34,945 --> 00:48:36,613
BIT OF RUNWAY AS WE WERE 

2019
00:48:36,613 --> 00:48:36,880
BUILDING 

2020
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:37,147
THESE UP. 

2021
00:48:37,147 --> 00:48:43,687
FROM MY 

2022
00:48:43,687 --> 00:48:44,221
UNDERSTANDING PRIORITIZE. 

2023
00:48:44,221 --> 00:48:45,355
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE 

2024
00:48:45,355 --> 00:48:46,657
IS PRIORITIZING HIGH 

2025
00:48:46,657 --> 00:48:47,758
ACUITY. IT IS VERY DIFFERENT, 

2026
00:48:47,758 --> 00:48:48,225
THAT DEMOGRAPHIC. 

2027
00:48:48,225 --> 00:48:49,326
THAT'S WHY THERE WERE -- I 

2028
00:48:49,326 --> 00:48:51,161
KNOW I HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT, HEY,

2029
00:48:51,161 --> 00:48:55,332
HOW ARE WE IMPLEMENTING THESE 

2030
00:48:55,332 --> 00:48:57,167
AND WHAT ARE -- WHAT PRECAUTIONS

2031
00:48:57,167 --> 00:48:59,503
ARE WE DOING TO MAKE SURE WE 

2032
00:48:59,503 --> 00:49:01,104
HAVE GREAT WRAP- AROUND SERVICES

2033
00:49:01,104 --> 00:49:01,271
FOR 

2034
00:49:01,271 --> 00:49:01,738
THESE FOLKS. 

2035
00:49:01,738 --> 00:49:05,042
THERE'S A GREAT ONE BEHIND THE 

2036
00:49:05,042 --> 00:49:06,209
RAINIER VALLEY FOOD BANK, 

2037
00:49:06,209 --> 00:49:07,978
THAT IS WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND 

2038
00:49:07,978 --> 00:49:08,512
FAMILIES. 

2039
00:49:08,512 --> 00:49:10,280
SO IT IS VERY -- EVERY TINY 

2040
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,516
HOME IS VERY 

2041
00:49:12,516 --> 00:49:12,883
DIFFERENT, THE 

2042
00:49:12,883 --> 00:49:14,551
POPULATION. I'M GLAD YOU 

2043
00:49:14,551 --> 00:49:15,085
POINTED THAT 

2044
00:49:15,085 --> 00:49:16,386
OUT, COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER, 

2045
00:49:16,386 --> 00:49:17,421
AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAS 

2046
00:49:17,421 --> 00:49:18,655
BEEN PRIORITIZED BY THE 

2047
00:49:18,655 --> 00:49:18,922
EXECUTIVE 

2048
00:49:18,922 --> 00:49:20,857
OR HAS BEEN SAID PRIORITIZED FOR

2049
00:49:20,857 --> 00:49:22,092
