QUIET PERSON. YOU DON'T SAY A 

170
00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:53,319
LOT. AND THAT'S WHY YOUR ACTIONS

171

274
00:09:19,358 --> 00:09:19,992

THIS PROCLAMATION TO TO MISS 

283
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,841
HEMPSTEAD'S FAMILY. TODAY. WE 

284
00:09:35,841 --> 00:09:38,277
ARE ON THE CUSP OF BREAST CANCER

285
00:09:38,277 --> 00:09:39,345
AWARENESS MONTH, AND I CAN THINK

286
00:09:39,345 --> 00:09:42,148
OF NO BETTER WAY THAN BESTOWING 

287
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:46,285
THIS RECOGNITION, A RECOGNITION.

288
00:09:46,285 --> 00:09:46,886
BRIDGET HEMPSTEAD WAS A WOMAN 

289
00:09:46,886 --> 00:09:49,255
WHO TOOK HER OWN EXPERIENCE WITH

290
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:51,023
BREAST CANCER AND TURNED IT INTO

291
00:09:51,023 --> 00:09:53,826
ALMOST THREE DECADES OF 

292
00:09:53,826 --> 00:09:54,327
ADVOCACY, EDUCATION AND 

293
00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:56,262
COMMUNITY CARE ON BEHALF OF 

294
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:59,265
BLACK WOMEN. AND BRIDGET IS 

295
00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:01,300
SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTOOD A LONG 

296
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:03,569
TIME BEFORE HEALTH EQUITY BECAME

297
00:10:03,569 --> 00:10:05,004
PART OF OUR EVERYDAY VOCABULARY,

298
00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:07,506
THAT BREAST CANCER DOES NOT 

299
00:10:07,506 --> 00:10:08,140
IMPACT EVERYONE EQUALLY. BLACK 

300
00:10:08,140 --> 00:10:10,109
WOMEN CONTINUE TO FACE PROFOUND 

301
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:12,078
DISPARITIES IN BREAST CANCER 

302
00:10:12,078 --> 00:10:14,046
OUTCOMES, INCLUDING A 

303
00:10:14,046 --> 00:10:14,680
SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER MORTALITY 

304
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:15,948
RATE THAN WHITE WOMEN. AND 

305
00:10:15,948 --> 00:10:17,516
BRIDGET IS SOMEONE WHO REFUSED 

306
00:10:17,516 --> 00:10:19,318
TO ACCEPT THOSE AS AN 

307
00:10:19,318 --> 00:10:21,020
INEVITABILITY. SHE ORGANIZED 

308
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:23,322
AROUND THEM. I THINK THAT WHAT 

309
00:10:23,322 --> 00:10:25,291
MADE WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM SO 

310
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:27,093
MANY FOLKS ABOUT WHAT MADE 

311
00:10:27,093 --> 00:10:27,727
BRIDGET EXTRAORDINARY WAS THAT 

312
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:29,562
SHE DIDN'T STOP AT RAISING 

313
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:31,130
AWARENESS. SHE WAS DETERMINED TO

314
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:32,631
BUILD POWER, AND SHE BROUGHT 

315
00:10:32,631 --> 00:10:34,834
PATIENTS, SURVIVORS, CAREGIVERS,

316
00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:36,902
RESEARCHERS, PHYSICIANS AND 

317
00:10:36,902 --> 00:10:39,138
INSTITUTIONS TOGETHER AND 

318
00:10:39,138 --> 00:10:40,606
INSISTED, DEMANDED AND MADE 

319
00:10:40,606 --> 00:10:42,208
POSSIBLE THAT BLACK WOMEN BE 

320
00:10:42,208 --> 00:10:42,842
PARTICIPANTS IN THEIR RESEARCH 

321
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:45,344
AND DECISION MAKING. THAT WAS 

322
00:10:45,344 --> 00:10:47,613
AFFECTING OUR OWN HEALTH. THE 

323
00:10:47,613 --> 00:10:49,281
COMMUNITY CENTERED APPROACH THAT

324
00:10:49,281 --> 00:10:51,183
SHE UPLIFTED REMAINS CENTRAL TO 

325
00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:52,284
SIERRA'S SISTERS TODAY, AND IN 

326
00:10:52,284 --> 00:10:53,853
FACT, HER LEGACY CONTINUES TO 

327
00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:55,488
LIVE ON THROUGH HER FAMILY AND 

328
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:56,856
HER DAUGHTERS, WHO I'M REALLY 

329
00:10:56,856 --> 00:10:58,290
PLEASED ARE HERE WITH US TODAY. 

330
00:10:58,290 --> 00:11:00,426
THIS YEAR, SIERRA SISTERS MARKS 

331
00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:02,361
30 YEARS OF SERVICE, AND WE'RE 

332
00:11:02,361 --> 00:11:05,231
SEEING THE THE LEGACY BE CARRIED

333
00:11:05,231 --> 00:11:05,664

449
00:14:19,625 --> 00:14:22,027
DON'T THINK RECEIVING ANYTHING 

450
00:14:22,027 --> 00:14:23,028
ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER WILL EVER

451
00:14:23,028 --> 00:14:25,397
STOP BEING BITTERSWEET, BECAUSE

ACCEPTING THIS PROCLAMATION 

454
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,768
BECAUSE SHE CANNOT. BUT WHAT AN 

455
00:14:29,768 --> 00:14:31,270
INCREDIBLE HONOR IT IS TO HEAR 

456
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:32,771
THE NAME BRIDGET HEMPSTEAD 

457

460
00:14:38,911 --> 00:14:40,379
RECOGNIZED BY THE CITY OF 

461
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:42,448
SEATTLE. WE ARE HERE BECAUSE THE

462
00:14:42,448 --> 00:14:44,016
DISPARITIES STILL REMAIN. I AM 

463
00:14:44,016 --> 00:14:45,618
NOT NAIVE ABOUT WHY THIS WORK IS

464
00:14:45,618 --> 00:14:47,486
STILL NECESSARY, OR ABOUT THE 

465
00:14:47,486 --> 00:14:48,854
PAINFUL REALITIES BLACK WOMEN 

466
00:14:48,854 --> 00:14:50,522
CONTINUE TO FACE WITHIN OUR 

467
00:14:50,522 --> 00:14:51,957
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. BUT I AM 

468
00:14:51,957 --> 00:14:52,558
DEEPLY THANKFUL THAT A WOMAN 

469
00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:54,526
NAMED BRIDGET, A MOTHER, A 

470
00:14:54,526 --> 00:14:56,729
MATRIARCH, A FORCE, AND A 

471
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:58,230
TRAILBLAZER SAID YES TO HER 

472
00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:58,797
CALLING. SHE SAID YES TO 

473
00:14:58,797 --> 00:15:00,899
SPEAKING UP FOR OUR COMMUNITY. 

474
00:15:00,899 --> 00:15:02,735
SHE SAID YES TO STANDING IN THE 

475
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:04,837
GAP. AND SHE CONTINUED SAYING 

476
00:15:04,837 --> 00:15:05,871
YES OVER AND OVER AND OVER 

477
00:15:05,871 --> 00:15:08,574
AGAIN. EVEN WHEN THE WORK WAS 

478
00:15:08,574 --> 00:15:09,208
DIFFICULT AND WHEN PEOPLE WERE 

479
00:15:09,208 --> 00:15:11,744
NOT READY TO LISTEN. AS HER 

480
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:14,046
DAUGHTER, I'LL SAY DAUGHTERS 

481
00:15:14,046 --> 00:15:16,382
AND A LEGACY OF A KEEPER OF HER 

482
00:15:16,382 --> 00:15:18,250
LEGACY. I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE

483
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,719
INHERITED MORE THAN HER WORK. WE

484
00:15:20,719 --> 00:15:23,355
HAVE INHERITED A RESPONSIBILITY.

485
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:23,989
WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROTECTING 

486
00:15:23,989 --> 00:15:26,558
WHAT SHE BUILT, CARRYING HER 

487
00:15:26,558 --> 00:15:27,960
VISION FORWARD AND CONTINUING TO

488
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,061
USE OUR VOICES UNTIL BLACK WOMEN

489
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:30,763
ARE HEARD, BELIEVED, SUPPORTED 

490
00:15:30,763 --> 00:15:32,298
AND GIVEN THE CARE THEY DESERVE.

491
00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:33,532
I WILL MAKE SURE HER LEGACY IS 

492
00:15:33,532 --> 00:15:35,200
NOT SOMETHING WE ONLY LOOK BACK 

493
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,669
ON, BUT SOMETHING THAT CONTINUES

494
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:39,271
TO LIVE, GROW AND CREATE CHANGE.

495
00:15:39,271 --> 00:15:40,739
MY HOPE IS THAT BRIDGET 

496
00:15:40,739 --> 00:15:42,007
HEMPSTEAD DAY BECOMES MORE THAN 

497
00:15:42,007 --> 00:15:42,708
A RECOGNITION OF WHAT SHE 

498
00:15:42,708 --> 00:15:45,945
ACCOMPLISHED LET IT ALSO BE A 

499
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:47,479
REMINDER OF THE WORK STILL AHEAD

00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:31,590
TWO ADVOCATES THAT SAID YES TO 

519

THE CALL THAT SAID YES TO THE 

520
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:38,030

SMALL. WE ARE NOT BACKING DOWN. 

523
00:16:42,134 --> 00:16:44,103
WE ARE NOT INTIMIDATED BY 

524
00:16:44,103 --> 00:16:45,904
RACISM, BUT WE EMBRACE THE IDEA 

525
00:16:45,904 --> 00:16:47,806
THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT 

526
00:16:47,806 --> 00:16:49,241
EXISTS AND WE'RE GOING TO 

527
00:16:49,241 --> 00:16:51,009

00:16:51,009 --> 00:16:53,946
MISSION FORWARD. MY MOTHER WAS 

529
00:16:53,946 --> 00:16:55,347
NOT AFRAID OF HER ADVOCACY. MY 

530
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:56,949
MOTHER WAS NOT AFRAID OF RACISM.

531
00:16:56,949 --> 00:17:00,252
MY MOTHER WAS NOT EVEN AFRAID OF

532
00:17:00,252 --> 00:17:02,321
CANCER. SO IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO

533
00:17:02,321 --> 00:17:04,523
COULD BE AGAINST US? WE ARE 

534
00:17:04,523 --> 00:17:06,358
LEGACY IN MOTION. WE ARE NOT 

535
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:07,493

536
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:09,895

637
00:20:02,768 --> 00:20:03,735
REQUIRING THE CITY BUDGET TO BE 

638
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:05,337
BALANCED IN OUT YEARS. WE TOOK 

639
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:08,207
THAT MANDATE SERIOUSLY, AND THE 

640
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:09,408

THAT DOES SO. REFLECTION 

644
00:20:15,914 --> 00:20:16,548
REFLECTING A STRUCTURAL BALANCE 

645
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:20,652
THROUGH 2030. GETTING TO THAT 

646
00:20:20,652 --> 00:20:21,253
IMPORTANT GOAL REQUIRED HARD 

647
00:20:21,253 --> 00:20:23,088
CHOICES. IT INCLUDES NEARLY $50 

648
00:20:23,088 --> 00:20:25,257
MILLION IN ANNUAL GENERAL FUND 

649
00:20:25,257 --> 00:20:29,695
REDUCTIONS, ELIMINATING 128 FULL

650
00:20:29,695 --> 00:20:31,330
TIME EQUIVALENT POSITIONS, 

651
00:20:31,330 --> 00:20:33,599
INCLUDING 15 THAT ARE FILLED AND

652
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:34,132
CONTINUALLY CONTINUING TO 

653
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:36,068
UTILIZE THE JUMPSTART PAYROLL 

654
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:38,070
TAX REVENUE FOR PROGRAMS BEYOND 

655
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:40,472
THE ORIGINALLY INTENDED PURPOSE.

656
00:20:40,472 --> 00:20:41,740
AT THE SAME TIME, MAYOR WILSON 

657
00:20:41,740 --> 00:20:44,309
WAS CLEAR THAT ESSENTIAL 

658
00:20:44,309 --> 00:20:45,911
SERVICES HAD TO BE PRESERVED, 

659
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:47,913
AND SO HER BUDGET PRIORITIZES 

660
00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:49,982
SHELTER AND HUMAN SERVICES, 

661
00:20:49,982 --> 00:20:53,051

663
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:56,188
THE RIGHTS OF ALL. I'LL JUST

665
00:20:57,422 --> 00:21:00,926

THE SAME LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY,

832
00:25:52,884 --> 00:25:54,653
THE CHIEF BEING LEFT OFF, THE 

833
00:25:54,653 --> 00:25:56,187
MAYOR NOT SAYING WHAT SHE'S 

834
00:25:56,187 --> 00:25:58,189
RESPONSIBLE FOR IS. IT'S 

835
00:25:58,189 --> 00:26:00,892
LUDICROUS. IT'S ACTUALLY 

836
00:26:00,892 --> 00:26:02,027
RETRAUMATIZING. WE WANT TO KNOW,

837
00:26:02,027 --> 00:26:03,194
ARE YOU GUYS DO YOU GUYS NEED 

838
00:26:03,194 --> 00:26:04,663
THE MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION OR 

839
00:26:04,663 --> 00:26:05,864

KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE? THIS IS

843
00:26:11,336 --> 00:26:13,605
NOT A GAME. KATIE MAKES PUBLIC 

844
00:26:13,605 --> 00:26:15,540
SAFETY THE LAST PRIORITY. SHE'S

845
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:16,808
TALKING ABOUT HAVING A NEW THESE

846
00:26:16,808 --> 00:26:17,609
PEOPLE HERE FOR GUN VIOLENCE. 

847
00:26:17,609 --> 00:26:19,110
WE'VE NEVER SEEN THEM. THEY 

848
00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:20,812
HAVE NOT PERSONALLY BEEN 

849
00:26:20,812 --> 00:26:22,213
IMPACTED LIKE US. BUT THEY'RE 

850
00:26:22,213 --> 00:26:22,814
MAKING THE CHANGE FOR US. YOU 

851
00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:24,482
GUYS NEED TO MAKE BETTER 

852
00:26:24,482 --> 00:26:27,052
DECISIONS. I GOT 8 OR 9 MINUTES.

853

859
00:26:37,295 --> 00:26:38,697
-- WELL GOOD AFTERNOON, 

860
00:26:38,697 --> 00:26:40,365
COUNCILMEMBERS. I'M HERE TODAY 

861
00:26:40,365 --> 00:26:42,300
TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THE 

862
00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:44,102
FAIR PRICING ORDINANCE. I WANT 

863
00:26:44,102 --> 00:26:45,870
TO THANK MAYOR WILSON SPONSORS 

864
00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:47,005
RINCK, FOSTER AND SAKA SAGEL.

00:26:47,005 --> 00:26:50,508
THE MEMBERS OF THE UF CW3000 

866
00:26:50,508 --> 00:26:52,077
TEAM. DUSTIN RICH, DOMINIC, 

867
00:26:52,077 --> 00:26:53,578
AMBER, SARAH AND THE DOZENS OF 

868
00:26:53,578 --> 00:26:55,814
WORKERS WHO ARE HERE TO EXPRESS 

869
00:26:55,814 --> 00:26:58,416
THEIR SUPPORT. BANNING 

870
00:26:58,416 --> 00:26:59,951
DISCRIMINATORY PRICING IS 

871
00:26:59,951 --> 00:27:01,519
POPULAR, BUT THIS VOTE IS ABOUT 

872
00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:02,621
SO MUCH MORE FOR THE LABOR 

873
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:04,856
MOVEMENT. IT'S A LITMUS TEST FOR

874
00:27:04,856 --> 00:27:08,860
WHICH SIDE YOU ARE ON CONSUMERS 

875
00:27:08,860 --> 00:27:11,329
OR CORPORATIONS, WORKERS OR 

876
00:27:11,329 --> 00:27:13,531
BILLIONAIRES. PEW FOUND THAT 73%

877
00:27:13,531 --> 00:27:15,800
OF AMERICANS BELIEVE MAJOR 

878
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:16,368
CORPORATIONS HAVE TOO MUCH 

879
00:27:16,368 --> 00:27:18,036
POWER. WE DON'T ASK A 

880
00:27:18,036 --> 00:27:19,070
CORPORATION TO DECIDE WHAT IS 

881
00:27:19,070 --> 00:27:21,740
FAIR, BUT WE DO EXPECT ELECTED 

882
00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:23,708
LEADERS TO ACT IN THE BEST 

883
00:27:23,708 --> 00:27:25,777
INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC AND TO 

884
00:27:25,777 --> 00:27:26,344
ENACT RULES WHEN CORPORATE 

885
00:27:26,344 --> 00:27:27,612
PROFIT THREATENS THE PUBLIC 

886
00:27:27,612 --> 00:27:30,648
GOOD. WE DID NOT START THIS 

887
00:27:30,648 --> 00:27:32,250
FIGHT. CORPORATIONS, WITH THEIR 

888
00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:34,352
HOARDING OF WEALTH, DID, BUT WE 

889
00:27:34,352 --> 00:27:35,820
WILL FINISH IT AND WE WILL 

890
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:37,022
REMEMBER WHO STOOD WITH US. 

891
00:27:37,022 --> 00:27:37,322
THANK YOU. 

892
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:40,558
-- THANK YOU KATIE. NEXT WE HAVE

893
00:27:40,558 --> 00:27:43,395
KATE. EXCUSE ME, DICKEY AND AND 

894
00:27:43,395 --> 00:27:46,231
HERE. 

895
00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:46,564
-- [APPLAUSE] 

896
00:27:46,564 --> 00:27:47,132
-- OKAY. I HATE TO DO THIS. 

897
00:27:47,132 --> 00:27:49,567
HERE'S THE THING. IF WE COULD 

898
00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:50,702
JUST DO SPIRIT HAND SO WE CAN 

899
00:27:50,702 --> 00:27:51,803
MOVE THROUGH PEOPLE. IT'S OKAY.

900
00:27:51,803 --> 00:27:52,637
WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS TO GET 

901
00:27:52,637 --> 00:27:53,872
THROUGH, AND IF WE DID IT EVERY 

902
00:27:53,872 --> 00:27:55,540
TIME, WE'D BE HERE FOR HOURS. 

903
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:56,775
OKAY, BUT I GET IT. I KNOW 

904
00:27:56,775 --> 00:27:57,809
PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTIVE. I DON'T 

905
00:27:57,809 --> 00:27:59,644
WANT TO SUPPRESS THAT. BUT IF WE

906
00:27:59,644 --> 00:28:00,345
JUST DO SPIRIT HANDS, WE'LL GET

907
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:02,213
THROUGH IT. OKAY, DICKEY, 

908
00:28:02,213 --> 00:28:02,480
WELCOME. 

909
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:02,881
-- HI. 

910
00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:03,948
-- MY NAME IS DICKEY. I'M A 

911
00:28:03,948 --> 00:28:05,550
MEMBER OF AMAZON EMPLOYEES FOR

CLIMATE JUSTICE AND A FORMER 

913
00:28:06,684 --> 00:28:07,919
SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT AMAZON. 

914
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:09,387
SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF THE FAIR 

915
00:28:09,387 --> 00:28:10,422
PRICING ORDINANCE AT THE 

916
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:11,956
PREVIOUS HEARING. ON THIS 

917
00:28:11,956 --> 00:28:13,958
LEGISLATION, CITIZENS LIKE JOHN,

918
00:28:13,958 --> 00:28:14,559
ANOTHER MEMBER EXPLAINED THAT 

919
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:16,694
LARGE CORPORATIONS ARE FOCUSED 

920
00:28:16,694 --> 00:28:18,329
ON PROFITING OFF OF US, NOT 

921
00:28:18,329 --> 00:28:19,497
LOWERING PRICES, AND THAT 

922
00:28:19,497 --> 00:28:20,098
ALGORITHMIC PRICING HAS BEEN 

923
00:28:20,098 --> 00:28:21,399
USED IN THE PAST BY TECH 

924
00:28:21,399 --> 00:28:22,434
COMPANIES TO INCREASE PRICES. 

925
00:28:22,434 --> 00:28:24,102
BUT STILL, AFTER THE HEARING, 

926
00:28:24,102 --> 00:28:25,670
THE GROCERY LOBBYISTS CONTINUED 

927
00:28:25,670 --> 00:28:26,504
TO STOKE FEARS THAT THIS LAW 

928
00:28:26,504 --> 00:28:28,306
WILL REMOVE GROCERY STORE'S 

929
00:28:28,306 --> 00:28:29,140
ABILITY TO OFFER DISCOUNTS. ALL 

930
00:28:29,140 --> 00:28:30,775
OF US FOLLOWING THIS LEGISLATION

931
00:28:30,775 --> 00:28:31,976
KNOW THAT IT INCLUDES A CARVE 

932
00:28:31,976 --> 00:28:33,144
OUT FOR DISCOUNT AND LOYALTY 

933
00:28:33,144 --> 00:28:35,280
PROGRAMS, SO I WANT TO FIRMLY 

934
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,214
OPPOSE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS 

935
00:28:36,214 --> 00:28:37,749
THAT WEAKEN THE BILL AND CALL 

936
00:28:37,749 --> 00:28:38,249
OUT THIS MESSAGING FROM 

937
00:28:38,249 --> 00:28:40,085
LOBBYISTS FOR WHAT IT IS A 

938
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:41,252
DISTRACTION. IT'S A DISTRACTION

939
00:28:41,252 --> 00:28:42,420
FROM WHAT THESE COMPANIES REALLY

940
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:43,855
WANT, WHICH IS FREE REIN TO MAKE

941
00:28:43,855 --> 00:28:45,723
USE OF OUR VAST AMOUNTS OF

SOFTWARE ENGINEER, I'VE SEEN 

944
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:49,961
HOW MUCH TECH I'VE SEEN HOW 

945
00:28:49,961 --> 00:28:51,229
TECH COMPANIES OPERATE, AND 

946
00:28:51,229 --> 00:28:51,796
THEY'RE NOT ALTRUISTIC. 

947
00:28:51,796 --> 00:28:53,131
SURVEILLANCE AND PRICE HIKES ARE

948
00:28:53,131 --> 00:28:54,666
THE NORM. I'M WORKING TO FIGHT 

949
00:28:54,666 --> 00:28:55,900
SURVEILLANCE AND OVERUSE OF AI 

950
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:57,902
FOR MAJOR TECH COMPANIES. I 

951
00:28:57,902 --> 00:28:59,037
CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO

952
00:28:59,037 --> 00:29:00,505
FIGHT IT AT THE GROCERY STORE, 

953
00:29:00,505 --> 00:29:01,973
TOO. LET'S KEEP PRICING IN 

954

BUT AMENDMENTS A AND C ARE 

975
00:29:40,211 --> 00:29:40,845
ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO PROTECT 

976

RETAIL ASSOCIATION. AS WE'VE 

997
00:30:16,915 --> 00:30:17,816
SHARED THROUGHOUT YOUR 

998
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:20,084
CONSIDERATION OF THIS ORDINANCE,

999
00:30:20,084 --> 00:30:20,685
OUR MEMBERS SUPPORT POLICIES 

1000
00:30:20,685 --> 00:30:22,453
PROHIBITING THE USE OF PERSONAL 

1001
00:30:22,453 --> 00:30:23,354
INFORMATION TO INCREASE PRICES 

1002
00:30:23,354 --> 00:30:25,456
AND BELIEVE IT CAN BE DONE WHILE

1003
00:30:25,456 --> 00:30:26,024
STILL MAINTAINING CONSUMER 

1004
00:30:26,024 --> 00:30:27,592
FRIENDLY PRACTICES THAT ALLOW 

1005
00:30:27,592 --> 00:30:28,693
SAVINGS. UNFORTUNATELY, WE STILL

1006
00:30:28,693 --> 00:30:30,061
HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE 

1007
00:30:30,061 --> 00:30:31,796
ORDINANCES. NARROW EXEMPTIONS, 

1008
00:30:31,796 --> 00:30:33,198
BROAD DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS, 

1009
00:30:33,198 --> 00:30:34,766
AND SIGNIFICANT PRIVATE 

1010
00:30:34,766 --> 00:30:35,333
LITIGATION EXPOSURE, WHICH 

1011
00:30:35,333 --> 00:30:36,935
CREATES SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY 

1012
00:30:36,935 --> 00:30:38,002
ON HOW RETAILERS CAN CONTINUE TO

1013
00:30:38,002 --> 00:30:40,505
DELIVER, COMMUNICATE AND 

1014
00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:41,039
ADMINISTER DISCOUNTS THAT 

1015
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:43,074
CONSUMERS RECEIVE TODAY THROUGH 

1016
00:30:43,074 --> 00:30:44,275
REWARDS PROGRAMS. WE WORKED ON A

1017
00:30:44,275 --> 00:30:45,844
SIMILAR PROPOSAL IN OLYMPIA LAST

1018
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:47,078
YEAR, PLAN TO ENGAGE 

1019
00:30:47,078 --> 00:30:48,513
PRODUCTIVELY THIS YEAR, AND 

1020
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:49,914
FULLY EXPECT A STATEWIDE POLICY 

1021
00:30:49,914 --> 00:30:51,449
TO MOVE FORWARD. BOTH GOALS CAN 

1022
00:30:51,449 --> 00:30:53,184
BE ACHIEVED, ENSURING CUSTOMER 

1023
00:30:53,184 --> 00:30:54,519
DATA IS NOT USED TO INCREASE 

1024
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:56,387
PRICES, WHILE ALSO PRESERVING 

1025
00:30:56,387 --> 00:30:58,089
CONSUMER FRIENDLY DISCOUNTS AND 

1026
00:30:58,089 --> 00:30:59,290
LOYALTY PROGRAMS. WE ENCOURAGE 

1027
00:30:59,290 --> 00:31:00,658
YOU TO SUPPORT AMENDMENTS TODAY 

1028
00:31:00,658 --> 00:31:01,192
THAT ENSURE DISCOUNTS AND 

1029
00:31:01,192 --> 00:31:02,861
SAVINGS PROGRAMS CAN CONTINUE 

1030
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:03,862
AND APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK 

1031
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:04,729
YOU. 

1032
00:31:04,729 --> 00:31:05,730
-- THANK YOU MARION. NEXT WE 

1033
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:08,199
HAVE ROBERT FOLLOWED BY DEBORA, 

1034
00:31:08,199 --> 00:31:11,502
JULIE, PAUL AND ASHLEY. WELCOME,

1035
00:31:11,502 --> 00:31:11,736
ROBERT. 

1036
00:31:11,736 --> 00:31:14,339
-- GOOD AFTERNOON, PRESIDENT 

1037
00:31:14,339 --> 00:31:14,973
HOLLINGSWORTH COUNCILMEMBERS. MY

1038
00:31:14,973 --> 00:31:15,640
NAME IS ROBERT SINGLETON. I'M 

1039
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,009
WITH CHAMBER OF PROGRESS, A TECH

1040
00:31:18,009 --> 00:31:18,543
INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION THAT 

1041
00:31:18,543 --> 00:31:19,544
SUPPORTS INCLUSIVE INNOVATION. 

1042
00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:21,045
I'M HERE TODAY IN RESPECTFUL 

1043
00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:21,679
OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED DATA 

1044
00:31:21,679 --> 00:31:23,047
DRIVEN PRICING BAN. BECAUSE THE 

1045
00:31:23,047 --> 00:31:24,182
PRACTICAL RESULTS OF THIS 

1046
00:31:24,182 --> 00:31:25,283
ORDINANCE WILL BE TO MAKE 

1047
00:31:25,283 --> 00:31:26,284
SEATTLE AN EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE 

1048
00:31:26,284 --> 00:31:27,252
CITY FOR RESIDENTS, AND EVEN 

1049
00:31:27,252 --> 00:31:29,153
HARDER PLACE FOR BUSINESSES TO 

1050
00:31:29,153 --> 00:31:29,787
OPERATE BECAUSE IT JEOPARDIZES 

1051
00:31:29,787 --> 00:31:30,888
COUPONS AND DISCOUNTS TO 

1052
00:31:30,888 --> 00:31:32,857
CONSUMERS HAVE COME TO EXPECT 

1053
00:31:32,857 --> 00:31:33,491
AND RELY ON. CHAMBER OF PROGRESS

1054
00:31:33,491 --> 00:31:35,326
SHARES THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO

1055
00:31:35,326 --> 00:31:36,894
AFFORDABILITY. WE SUPPORT THE 

1056
00:31:36,894 --> 00:31:37,862
DRAFT DRAFT STATED GOAL OF 

1057
00:31:37,862 --> 00:31:38,930
PROTECTING CONSUMERS FROM 

1058
00:31:38,930 --> 00:31:40,865
HIDDEN, DATA DRIVEN PRICE 

1059
00:31:40,865 --> 00:31:41,866
INCREASES. OUR CONCERN IS THE 

1060
00:31:41,866 --> 00:31:43,635
REACH. THE DRAFT DOES NOT STOP 

1061
00:31:43,635 --> 00:31:44,235
AT INDIVIDUALIZED MARKUPS. IT 

1062
00:31:44,235 --> 00:31:45,603
ALSO RESTRICTS THE EVERYDAY 

1063
00:31:45,603 --> 00:31:46,537
COUPONS, LOYALTY REWARDS AND 

1064
00:31:46,537 --> 00:31:48,373
PERSONALIZED DISCOUNTS THAT HELP

1065
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:49,707
SEATTLEITES SAVE. THE RESULT IS 

1066
00:31:49,707 --> 00:31:51,009
A 20 PAGE PROPOSAL AIMED AT A 

1067
00:31:51,009 --> 00:31:52,610
SECRET PRICE HIKES THAT SPENDS 

1068
00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:54,779
MORE OF ITS TIME IN OPERATIVE 

1069
00:31:54,779 --> 00:31:56,214
DETAIL, DECIDING WHO MAY RECEIVE

1070
00:31:56,214 --> 00:31:57,348
WHICH LOYALTY REWARD AND HOW TO 

1071
00:31:57,348 --> 00:31:58,716
COMPLY, AND HOW TO ADDRESS 

1072
00:31:58,716 --> 00:31:59,317
LEGITIMATE CONCERNS ABOUT THE 

1073
00:31:59,317 --> 00:32:01,252
HIGH COST OF LIVING. THAT BEING 

1074
00:32:01,252 --> 00:32:02,320
SAID, IF COUNCIL IS TO MOVE 

1075
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,855
FORWARD WITH PROPOSED ORDINANCE,

1076
00:32:03,855 --> 00:32:04,956
WE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO ADOPT 

1077
00:32:04,956 --> 00:32:06,924
AMENDMENT A FROM COUNCILMEMBER 

1078
00:32:06,924 --> 00:32:08,126
KETTLE BECAUSE THIS CLARIFIES 

1079
00:32:08,126 --> 00:32:09,761
THAT IT IS PRICE INCREASES THAT 

1080
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:10,662
ARE THE PROBLEM AND NOT THE USE 

1081
00:32:10,662 --> 00:32:12,730
OF ALGORITHMS GENERALLY, AND 

1082
00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:13,264
OPTIMIZING DELIVERING THE 

1083
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:14,565
EVERYDAY DISCOUNTS THAT SEATTLE 

1084
00:32:14,565 --> 00:32:15,667
SHOPPERS PRESENTLY ENJOY. 

1085
00:32:15,667 --> 00:32:17,068
-- THANK YOU. THANK YOU ROBERT.

ASHLEY. 

1089
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:24,275
-- GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. I'M

1090

DEBORA OSBORNE AND I'M BACK

00:32:29,314 --> 00:32:32,250
ENOUGH TIME FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO

1093
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:34,285
GET OUT THE SITUATION. THAT 

1094
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:36,154
CONCERNS ME AND MY FAMILY. MY 

1095
00:32:36,154 --> 00:32:38,756
SISTER WAS ABUSED AND NEGLECTED 

1096
00:32:38,756 --> 00:32:41,259
AND THE SEATTLE POLICE 

1097
00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:43,294
DEPARTMENT WAS INVOLVED IN THE 

1098
00:32:43,294 --> 00:32:45,296
MATTER. AND WHAT'S HAPPENING 

1099
00:32:45,296 --> 00:32:46,664
NOW IS THAT MY CASES BEFORE THE 

1100
00:32:46,664 --> 00:32:48,266
SUPREME COURT, AND I KNOW YOU 

1101
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:51,202

00:32:52,170 --> 00:32:54,205
LEGAL. BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW 

1104
00:32:54,205 --> 00:32:56,140
THAT I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO MAKE

1105
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:57,508
A DECISION, IN MY CASE, TO 

1106
00:32:57,508 --> 00:33:00,645
DECIDE THE MERIT, BUT WHAT I'M 

1107
00:33:00,645 --> 00:33:03,314
ASKING IS THAT I CAN HAVE AN 

1108
00:33:03,314 --> 00:33:04,782
ADVOCATE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE 

1109
00:33:04,782 --> 00:33:09,187
PUBLIC AWARE THAT MY SISTER WAS 

1110
00:33:09,187 --> 00:33:11,356
ABUSED AND NEGLECTED, AND 

1111
00:33:11,356 --> 00:33:14,025
NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I'VE COME

HEARTFELT SPEECH LAST WEEK. THAT

00:33:55,466 --> 00:33:57,268
WAS ON VIDEO. IT WAS VERY WELL 

1131
00:33:57,268 --> 00:33:59,904
DONE AND DAN FOR YOUR WORK FOR 

1132
00:33:59,904 --> 00:34:01,339
ON ARV'S AND BALLARD. WE'RE 

1133
00:34:01,339 --> 00:34:03,341
VERY IMPRESSED WITH THAT. ONE OF

1134
00:34:03,341 --> 00:34:05,009
THE THINGS THAT WE SEE THAT THE 

1135
00:34:05,009 --> 00:34:06,978
BEST PREDICTOR OF FUTURE 

1136
00:34:06,978 --> 00:34:08,112
BEHAVIOR IS PAST BEHAVIOR. AND I

1137
00:34:08,112 --> 00:34:08,946
SEE THAT THERE'S A CHANGE 

1138
00:34:08,946 --> 00:34:13,718
COMING. I WOULD OFFER THAT MAYBE

1139
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:16,521
BEFORE YOU GET A CONSULTANT THAT

1140
00:34:16,521 --> 00:34:18,256
YOU WOULD INTERVIEW PERHAPS TEN 

1141
00:34:18,256 --> 00:34:18,856
POLICE OFFICERS WITH OVER TEN 

1142
00:34:18,856 --> 00:34:21,292
YEARS OF 20 YEARS OF SERVICE AS 

1143
00:34:21,292 --> 00:34:23,061
TO WHAT THEY MIGHT DO BEFORE 

1144
00:34:23,061 --> 00:34:26,631
SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON, ON 

1145
00:34:26,631 --> 00:34:28,166
CONSULTANTS. AND LASTLY, 

1146
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:30,368
SATURDAY NIGHT, I WAS WITH 50 

1147
00:34:30,368 --> 00:34:32,170
PEOPLE WHERE WE CELEBRATED THE 

1148
00:34:32,170 --> 00:34:33,805
COMING TOGETHER OF CHIEF SEATTLE

FAMILY MEMBERS THERE. WE PRAYED 

1151
00:34:38,543 --> 00:34:39,377
OVER THE CITY. WE BELIEVE IN 

1152
00:34:39,377 --> 00:34:42,480
THIS CITY AND THE PEACE THAT 

1153
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,982
CAME BETWEEN THOSE TWO MIGHT 

1154
00:34:44,982 --> 00:34:46,784
BECOME BETWEEN YOUR COUNCIL AND 

1155
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:47,885
THE MAYOR AND THE CITIZENS. WE 

1156

THESE AMENDMENTS CLEARLY COME 

1173
00:35:14,579 --> 00:35:15,713
OUT OF THE CORPORATE PLAYBOOK TO

1174
00:35:15,713 --> 00:35:17,815
UNDERCUT THIS ORDINANCE. ENTIRE

PURPOSE. WE CAN. ENFORCEMENT AND

1176
00:35:18,850 --> 00:35:22,220
CREATE LOOPHOLES. THE IDEA THAT

00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:22,720
CORPORATE LOBBYISTS ARE 

1178
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:24,722
ATTEMPTING TO ENTIRELY GUT THIS

1182
00:35:28,359 --> 00:35:29,927
ME A BREAK. THESE ARE THE SAME 

1183
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:30,962
CORPORATIONS THAT REFUSE TO PAY 

1184
00:35:30,962 --> 00:35:33,865

1185

CONSISTENTLY CLOSE STORE

CORPORATIONS TRACKING DOWN OUR 

1189
00:35:38,236 --> 00:35:39,270
MIGRANT NEIGHBORS. THEY DON'T 

1190
00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:41,205
CARE ABOUT US. THEY CARE ABOUT 

1191
00:35:41,205 --> 00:35:41,873
SHAREHOLDER PROFITS. THEY CAN'T

1192
00:35:41,873 --> 00:35:42,840
COME OUT AND SAY THAT. SO THEY 

1193
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,141
HIDE BEHIND THE LIE THAT THEY 

1194
00:35:44,141 --> 00:35:45,877
CARE ABOUT WORKING PEOPLE AND 

1195
00:35:45,877 --> 00:35:47,278
COMMUNITIES. THIS LIE COMPLETELY

1196
00:35:47,278 --> 00:35:48,713
FALLS APART WHEN YOU NOTICE THAT

1197

YOU TO PASS THE FAIR AND 

1483
00:44:05,776 --> 00:44:06,377
TRANSPARENT PRICING ORDINANCE 

1484
00:44:06,377 --> 00:44:09,146
WITHOUT COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE'S 

1485
00:44:09,146 --> 00:44:09,913
AMENDMENTS, EVERYONE DESERVES TO

1486
00:44:09,913 --> 00:44:11,515
EAT AND EAT WELL. EVERYONE 

1487
00:44:11,515 --> 00:44:12,249
DESERVES TO HAVE WHAT THEY NEED 

1488
00:44:12,249 --> 00:44:14,618
TO LIVE AND LIVE WELL. AND OUR 

1489
00:44:14,618 --> 00:44:16,487
CHURCH, WE OFTEN HAVE COMMUNITY 

1490
00:44:16,487 --> 00:44:18,555
EVENTS CENTERED AROUND MEALS. WE

1491
00:44:18,555 --> 00:44:20,391
EVEN HAVE WORSHIP SERVICES THAT 

1492
00:44:20,391 --> 00:44:21,425
CENTER AROUND A MEAL. WE DO THIS

1493
00:44:21,425 --> 00:44:23,694
BECAUSE THERE'S ESSENTIAL AND 

1494
00:44:23,694 --> 00:44:25,396
MEANINGFUL CONNECTION THAT CAN 

1495
00:44:25,396 --> 00:44:26,864
HAPPEN OVER MEALS. WE ALSO DO 

1496
00:44:26,864 --> 00:44:28,699
THIS BECAUSE WE'RE COMMITTED TO

1497
00:44:28,699 --> 00:44:30,234
FOLLOWING JESUS, WHO FILLS THE 

1498
00:44:30,234 --> 00:44:32,036
HUNGRY AND OUR SCRIPTURES. JESUS

1499
00:44:32,036 --> 00:44:33,170
ALWAYS TENDS TO THE HUNGRY, 

1500
00:44:33,170 --> 00:44:34,672
MAKING SURE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR 

1501
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:37,775
FILL. SURVEILLANCE PRICING IS 

1502
00:44:37,775 --> 00:44:39,143
BOTH A VIOLATION AND MAKES THE 

1503
00:44:39,143 --> 00:44:40,778
ALREADY EXPENSIVE GROCERIES EVEN

1504
00:44:40,778 --> 00:44:41,745
MORE COSTLY. THERE ARE PEOPLE 

1505
00:44:41,745 --> 00:44:43,047
WHO CAN'T BUY FOOD OR GO INTO 

1506
00:44:43,047 --> 00:44:44,648
DEBT TO DO SO. BECAUSE OF THIS, 

1507
00:44:44,648 --> 00:44:46,517
I'M ASKING YOU ALL TO PASS THIS

1508

1522
00:45:05,702 --> 00:45:06,970
AND I'M HERE AS A STRONG 

1523
00:45:06,970 --> 00:45:08,405

ANY OF COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE 

1526
00:45:12,209 --> 00:45:13,444
AMENDMENTS, AMENDMENTS THAT

PROCURE SPECIAL DISCOUNT FOR

SOME DOES NOT OVERWEIGH THE 

1529
00:45:15,846 --> 00:45:17,381
PRIVACY RISK AND FUTURE PRICE 

1530
00:45:17,381 --> 00:45:19,950
INCREASES IN THE FUTURE. WE KNOW

1531
00:45:19,950 --> 00:45:21,585
THAT ALL OF THESE CORPORATIONS 

1532
00:45:21,585 --> 00:45:22,953
ARE LOOKING FOR TINY LITTLE 

1533
00:45:22,953 --> 00:45:24,088
HOLES LOOPHOLES SO THEY CAN KICK

1534
00:45:24,088 --> 00:45:25,189
THE DOOR IN AND JACK UP ALL OF 

1535
00:45:25,189 --> 00:45:26,924
OUR PRICES, EXPOSING ALL OF OUR 

1536
00:45:26,924 --> 00:45:28,292

1537
00:45:28,292 --> 00:45:29,693
NOT GOING TO DO ANY GOOD FOR 

1538
00:45:29,693 --> 00:45:30,894
ANYBODY. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT 

1539
00:45:30,894 --> 00:45:32,196
OTHER THAN THE PEOPLE WHOSE 

1540
00:45:32,196 --> 00:45:34,631
POCKETS ARE BEING LINED BY THIS,

1541
00:45:34,631 --> 00:45:36,600
MY SACRED TEXT SIMPLY SAYS THAT 

1542
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,001
THE HEALS WILL BE MADE LOW AND 

1543
00:45:38,001 --> 00:45:38,635
THE VALLEYS WILL BE RAISED UP, 

1544
00:45:38,635 --> 00:45:41,238
SO THAT ALL HAVE EQUAL PLAYING 

1545
00:45:41,238 --> 00:45:42,072
GROUND TO WALK ON. I'M NOT 

1546
00:45:42,072 --> 00:45:42,806

BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I FEEL

1548
00:45:43,507 --> 00:45:45,742

ORDINANCE ACROSS THE CITY. 

1564
00:46:11,435 --> 00:46:12,035
WORKING FAMILIES ARE ALREADY 

1565
00:46:12,035 --> 00:46:13,537
STRUGGLING TO PAY FOR BASIC FOOD

1566

ITEMS, AND NOBODY BUT BIG 

1567
00:46:15,405 --> 00:46:17,741
GROCERY LOBBYISTS THINK MORE 

1568
00:46:17,741 --> 00:46:21,812
SURVEILLANCE AND INFLATED PRICES

1569
00:46:21,812 --> 00:46:22,412
ARE A GOOD THING FOR SEATTLE. 

1570
00:46:22,412 --> 00:46:23,046
THESE LOBBYISTS WANT US TO 

1571
00:46:23,046 --> 00:46:28,152
BELIEVE THAT SURVEILLANCE AND 

1572

ALGORITHMIC, ALGORITHMIC 

1573

STORES, WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO 

1575
00:46:29,887 --> 00:46:31,054
PUT FOOD ON THE TABLES IS 

1576
00:46:31,054 --> 00:46:33,524
PROGRESS OR IS INEVITABLE. BUT 

1577
00:46:33,524 --> 00:46:36,160

PROTECT WORKING PEOPLE FROM 

1584
00:46:46,403 --> 00:46:47,671
DISCRIMINATORY PRICING AND

TREAT AN ADMINISTRATIVE PR

HICCUP LIKE A CIVIC CRISIS, 

1632

COUNCILMEMBERS. MY NAME IS

00:49:14,418 --> 00:49:16,553
MARSALIS SMITH, AND I'M SPEAKING

1658
00:49:16,553 --> 00:49:19,089
ON BEHALF OF UAW 4121, 

1659
00:49:19,089 --> 00:49:19,656
REPRESENTING MORE THAN 6000 

1660
00:49:19,656 --> 00:49:20,290
ACADEMIC WORKERS AT THE 

1661
00:49:20,290 --> 00:49:21,825
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. WE 

1662
00:49:21,825 --> 00:49:22,960
WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR 

1663
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,662
SUPPORT FOR THE FAIR PRICING AND

1664
00:49:25,662 --> 00:49:26,997
TRANSPARENCY ORDINANCE WITHOUT 

1665
00:49:26,997 --> 00:49:28,465
AMENDMENTS. I WANT YOU TO 

1666
00:49:28,465 --> 00:49:29,900
IMAGINE TWO WORKERS WALKING INTO

1667
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:30,967
THE SAME GROCERY STORE AT THE 

1668
00:49:30,967 --> 00:49:32,336
SAME TIME TO BUY THE EXACT SAME 

1669
00:49:32,336 --> 00:49:34,638
GALLON OF MILK, LOAF OF BREAD OR

1670
00:49:34,638 --> 00:49:37,341
CARTON OF EGGS. ONE PAYS $5, THE

1671
00:49:37,341 --> 00:49:39,042
OTHER PAYS SIX. NOT BECAUSE 

1672
00:49:39,042 --> 00:49:40,944
THERE WAS A SALE, NOT BECAUSE 

1673
00:49:40,944 --> 00:49:42,713
ONE HAD A COUPON, BUT BECAUSE AN

1674
00:49:42,713 --> 00:49:46,116
ALGORITHM LOOKED AT THEIR 

1675
00:49:46,116 --> 00:49:46,750
PERSONAL DATA, THEIR LOCATION, 

1676
00:49:46,750 --> 00:49:47,617
THEIR SHOPPING HISTORY, MAYBE 

1677
00:49:47,617 --> 00:49:48,919
EVEN THE DEVICE THEY USE, AND 

1678
00:49:48,919 --> 00:49:51,321
DECIDED ONE OF THEM COULD BE 

1679
00:49:51,321 --> 00:49:54,024
CHARGED MORE FOR FOR WORKING 

1680
00:49:54,024 --> 00:49:54,558
SEATTLEITES EVERY DOLLAR 

1681
00:49:54,558 --> 00:49:55,359
MATTERS. WE FIGHT FOR OUR 

1682
00:49:55,359 --> 00:49:57,694
RIGHTS. WE FIGHT FOR OUR WAGES. 

1683
00:49:57,694 --> 00:49:58,695
WE FIGHT SO THAT WE CAN PAY FOR 

1684
00:49:58,695 --> 00:50:00,497
OUR RENT, CHILD CARE, 

1685
00:50:00,497 --> 00:50:01,998
TRANSPORTATION, HEALTH CARE, AND

1686
00:50:01,998 --> 00:50:02,966
GROCERIES. AND AFTER WE FOUGHT 

1687
00:50:02,966 --> 00:50:05,469
TO EARN EVERY ADDITIONAL DOLLAR,

1688
00:50:05,469 --> 00:50:06,370
CORPORATIONS SHOULD NOT BE 

1689
00:50:06,370 --> 00:50:08,105
ALLOWED TO USE OUR OWN PERSONAL 

1690
00:50:08,105 --> 00:50:09,072
INFORMATION TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO

1691
00:50:09,072 --> 00:50:10,941
TAKE OUR DOLLARS AWAY. OUR 

1692
00:50:10,941 --> 00:50:12,843
PERSONAL DATA SHOULD NEVER BE 

1693
00:50:12,843 --> 00:50:14,611
USED TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MORE 

1694
00:50:14,611 --> 00:50:16,079
AN INDIVIDUAL, WILLINGLY OR 

1695
00:50:16,079 --> 00:50:17,848
DESPERATE ENOUGH TO PAY. PLEASE 

1696
00:50:17,848 --> 00:50:20,217
PASS FAIR PRICING TRANSPARENCY 

1697
00:50:20,217 --> 00:50:20,650
ORDINANCE WITHOUT. 

1698
00:50:20,650 --> 00:50:22,185
-- THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 

1699
00:50:22,185 --> 00:50:23,920
MARCELLUS. NEXT WE HAVE GRACE 

1700
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:24,988
FOLLOWED BY SAMUEL AND THEN 

1701
00:50:24,988 --> 00:50:26,957
PATRICK. WELCOME, GRACE. 

1702
00:50:26,957 --> 00:50:28,592
-- HI, I'M GRACE PLACID, ALSO 

1703
00:50:28,592 --> 00:50:32,129
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF UAW 4121 

1704
00:50:32,129 --> 00:50:33,063
IN SUPPORT OF THE FAIR PRICING 

1705
00:50:33,063 --> 00:50:35,766
AND TRANSPARENCY BILL, WITHOUT 

1706
00:50:35,766 --> 00:50:37,000
AMENDMENTS. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT 

1707
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,101
SURVEILLANCE PRICING, I WANT US 

1708
00:50:38,101 --> 00:50:40,370
TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING VERY 

1709
00:50:40,370 --> 00:50:41,638
PERSONAL THE FOOD THAT WE EAT, 

1710
00:50:41,638 --> 00:50:44,007
WHAT WE BUY AT THE GROCERY STORE

1711
00:50:44,007 --> 00:50:45,509
ISN'T SIMPLY A PREFERENCE. 

1712
00:50:45,509 --> 00:50:47,277
SOMEONE WITH A SEVERE FOOD 

1713
00:50:47,277 --> 00:50:47,978
ALLERGY MIGHT ONLY HAVE A 

1714
00:50:47,978 --> 00:50:49,846
HANDFUL OF PRODUCTS THEY CAN 

1715
00:50:49,846 --> 00:50:52,749
SAFELY EAT. SOMEONE WITH AN 

1716
00:50:52,749 --> 00:50:54,785
AUTOIMMUNE CONDITION MAY NEED TO

1717
00:50:54,785 --> 00:50:55,352
AVOID CERTAIN INGREDIENTS. 

1718
00:50:55,352 --> 00:50:57,020
GROCERY CARTS MAY REFLECT FOODS 

1719
00:50:57,020 --> 00:50:58,021
DEEPLY CONNECTED TO FAMILY, 

1720

RELIGION, ETHNICITY, OR CULTURE 

1721
00:50:59,823 --> 00:51:01,291
FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, 

1722
00:51:01,291 --> 00:51:03,293
THESE CHOICES CAN BE EVEN MORE 

1723
00:51:03,293 --> 00:51:05,295
LIMITED. NOT EVERYONE CAN SIMPLY

1724
00:51:05,295 --> 00:51:05,829
DRIVE ACROSS TOWN BECAUSE 

1725
00:51:05,829 --> 00:51:06,563
ANOTHER GROCERY STORE HAS A 

1726
00:51:06,563 --> 00:51:08,165
BETTER PRICE. SOMEONE WHO RELIES

1727
00:51:08,165 --> 00:51:10,233
ON PUBLIC TRANSIT HAS LIMITED 

1728

MOBILITY OR NEEDS ASSISTANCE TO

00:51:13,837 --> 00:51:14,404
SHOP. DEPENDS ON STORES AND 

1730
00:51:14,404 --> 00:51:15,238
DELIVERY SERVICES THAT ARE 

1731
00:51:15,238 --> 00:51:16,406
ACCESSIBLE TO THEM. NOW IMAGINE 

1732
00:51:16,406 --> 00:51:18,442
AN ALGORITHM LEARNING THAT IT 

1733
00:51:18,442 --> 00:51:19,476
DOESN'T JUST KNOW WHAT YOU BUY,

1734
00:51:19,476 --> 00:51:21,545
IT CAN POTENTIALLY LEARN WHAT 

1735
00:51:21,545 --> 00:51:24,414
YOU NEED AND HOW YOU GET THOSE 

1736
00:51:24,414 --> 00:51:25,148
NEEDS MET A DISABILITY, A FOOD 

1737
00:51:25,148 --> 00:51:26,817
ALLERGY, OR YOUR CULTURE SHOULD 

1738
00:51:26,817 --> 00:51:28,085
NOT BECOME A PRICING ADVANTAGE 

1739
00:51:28,085 --> 00:51:29,920
FOR A CORPORATION. AND NEITHER 

1740
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:30,954
SHOULD OUR PERSONAL DATA BE USED

1741
00:51:30,954 --> 00:51:31,922
TO TURN OUR DISABILITIES, OUR

HEALTH, OR. 

1743
00:51:32,222 --> 00:51:33,890
-- A LACK OF ALTERNATIVES INTO

00:51:33,890 --> 00:51:35,459
SOMEONE ELSE'S PROFIT.

START. ALGORITHMIC PRICING 

1763

ABOUT WHY. WHY ARE SENIORS, WHY 

1955

ROWAN, FOLLOWED BY KATE. DID I 

1968
00:58:36,179 --> 00:58:38,681
SAY YOUR NAME RIGHT? OKAY. THANK

1969
00:58:38,681 --> 00:58:41,217
YOU ROWAN. AND THEN KATE, 

1970
00:58:41,217 --> 00:58:41,484
WELCOME. 

1971
00:58:41,484 --> 00:58:42,919
-- MY NAME IS ROWAN. 

1972
00:58:42,919 --> 00:58:44,821
-- I SUPPORT THE UNAMENDED FAIR 

1973
00:58:44,821 --> 00:58:45,755
PRICING ORDINANCE, THOUGH I 

1974
00:58:45,755 --> 00:58:47,123
THINK ITS ENFORCEMENT CAPACITY 

1975
00:58:47,123 --> 00:58:49,325
SHOULD BE STRONGER. I HAVE 

1976
00:58:49,325 --> 00:58:51,027
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND 

1977
00:58:51,027 --> 00:58:52,161
EDUCATION IN DATA SCIENCE. I 

1978
00:58:52,161 --> 00:58:53,563
KNOW WHAT AI LOOKS LIKE BEHIND 

1979
00:58:53,563 --> 00:58:56,165
THE CURTAIN. I ALSO HAVE 

1980
00:58:56,165 --> 00:58:58,601
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE GOING HUNGRY

1981
00:58:58,601 --> 00:59:00,870
BECAUSE GROCERY PRICES ARE TOO 

1982
00:59:00,870 --> 00:59:02,605
HIGH. MOST OF THE CONVERSATIONS 

1983
00:59:02,605 --> 00:59:03,940
I HAVE ABOUT AI FOCUS ON THE 

1984
00:59:03,940 --> 00:59:05,909
SECONDARY CONSEQUENCES 

1985
00:59:05,909 --> 00:59:07,343
IDENTIFYING, CORRECTING, AND 

1986
00:59:07,343 --> 00:59:09,746
PREVENTING HARM CAUSED BY ITS 

1987
00:59:09,746 --> 00:59:10,380
FREQUENT MISTAKES, ENVIRONMENTAL

1988
00:59:10,380 --> 00:59:11,514
IMPACTS, WATER RIGHTS, 

1989
00:59:11,514 --> 00:59:13,650
MISINFORMATION, SURVEILLANCE, 

1990
00:59:13,650 --> 00:59:14,851
PRICING CARRIES ALL THOSE SAME 

1991
00:59:14,851 --> 00:59:17,520
RISKS, BUT ITS PURPOSE IS 

1992
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,390
EXPLICITLY UNFAIR AND PREDATORY.

1993
00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:22,091
THIS AFFECTS DATA PRIVACY, 

1994
00:59:22,091 --> 00:59:23,626
SOCIOECONOMIC EQUITY, CORPORATE 

1995
00:59:23,626 --> 00:59:24,794
OVERREACH. IT'S EVEN A PUBLIC 

1996
00:59:24,794 --> 00:59:26,896
HEALTH ISSUE. BUT ALL THOSE 

1997
00:59:26,896 --> 00:59:28,331
COMPLEXITIES BOIL DOWN TO ONE 

1998
00:59:28,331 --> 00:59:33,169
VERY SIMPLE QUESTION. THE CITY 

1999
00:59:33,169 --> 00:59:33,670
HAS AN OPPORTUNITY AND 

2000
00:59:33,670 --> 00:59:34,904
RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTINUE BEING

2001
00:59:34,904 --> 00:59:36,472
A LEADER AND SET THE PRECEDENT 

2002
00:59:36,472 --> 00:59:37,373
FOR OURSELVES, OUR STATE, OUR 

2003
00:59:37,373 --> 00:59:38,508
NATION, AND THE WORLD. SO WILL 

2004
00:59:38,508 --> 00:59:40,176
YOU CHOOSE TO PROTECT THE 

2005
00:59:40,176 --> 00:59:41,377
PEOPLE, OUR RIGHTS AND OUR 

2006
00:59:41,377 --> 00:59:43,813
ACCESS TO BASIC NECESSITIES? YES

2007
00:59:43,813 --> 00:59:45,248
OR NO? 

2008
00:59:45,248 --> 00:59:46,516
-- THANK YOU. ROWAN. NEXT WE 

2009
00:59:46,516 --> 00:59:47,617
HAVE KATE. BEFORE YOU GO, KATE, 

2010
00:59:47,617 --> 00:59:49,752
I'M GONNA READ THE NEXT TEN 

2011
00:59:49,752 --> 00:59:50,853
PEOPLE. WE'RE ON 31 THROUGH 40.

2012
00:59:50,853 --> 00:59:55,592
SO THAT'S ADAM L, JOHN. WE HAVE

2013
00:59:55,592 --> 00:59:58,661
T SHANNON. WE HAVE BARRETT. 

2014
00:59:58,661 --> 01:00:04,567
DANIEL, RACHEL SNELL. SEPT. THIS

2015
01:00:04,567 --> 01:00:06,869
LOOKS LIKE ROY ROY'S LAST NAME.

2016
01:00:06,869 --> 01:00:09,606
ROY. AND THEN HANNAH. SO NUMBER 

2017
01:00:09,606 --> 01:00:13,576
39 AND THEN 40. SO ADAM L, JOHN 

2018
01:00:13,576 --> 01:00:15,411
T, BARRETT BENNETT BARRETT. I 

2019
01:00:15,411 --> 01:00:17,747
THINK IT'S BENNETT. DANIEL, 

2020
01:00:17,747 --> 01:00:20,683
RACHEL. SEPT. OH IT'S JEFF. MY 

2021
01:00:20,683 --> 01:00:21,985
BAD. THAT'S A. JEFF. AND THEN

RENTER IN BEACON HILL AND I'M 

2025
01:00:30,393 --> 01:00:32,261
THE CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF 

2026

SEATTLE. SPEAKING IN STRONG 

2027
01:00:33,830 --> 01:00:35,698
SUPPORT OF THE FAIR PRICING AND 

2028
01:00:35,698 --> 01:00:37,100
TRANSPARENCY ORDINANCE. WITHOUT 

2029
01:00:37,100 --> 01:00:37,634
THE WEAKENING AMENDMENTS 

2030
01:00:37,634 --> 01:00:39,702
PROPOSED BY COUNCILMEMBER 

2031
01:00:39,702 --> 01:00:40,837
KETTLE, RENTERS ALREADY SPEND A 

2032
01:00:40,837 --> 01:00:41,938
LARGE PORTION OF OUR INCOMES 

2033
01:00:41,938 --> 01:00:44,173
JUST KEEPING A ROOF OVER OUR 

2034
01:00:44,173 --> 01:00:45,808
HEADS. FOR MANY OF US, THERE 

2035
01:00:45,808 --> 01:00:47,477
ISN'T MUCH LEFT OVER TO ABSORB 

2036
01:00:47,477 --> 01:00:49,145
HIGHER GROCERY PRICES. OUR 

2037
01:00:49,145 --> 01:00:49,712
PERSONAL INFORMATION SHOULD 

2038
01:00:49,712 --> 01:00:51,447
NEVER TELL AN ALGORITHM THAT WE 

2039
01:00:51,447 --> 01:00:52,648
CAN BE CHARGED MORE FOR THE 

2040
01:00:52,648 --> 01:00:54,484
EXACT SAME PRODUCT. AS I 

2041
01:00:54,484 --> 01:00:56,352
MENTIONED IN COMMITTEE, I WAS 

2042
01:00:56,352 --> 01:00:57,453
DIAGNOSED WITH CELIAC DISEASE 

2043
01:00:57,453 --> 01:00:59,022
LAST YEAR AND HAD TO COMPLETELY 

2044
01:00:59,022 --> 01:01:00,256
CHANGE MY DIET. MY GROCERY BILLS

2045
01:01:00,256 --> 01:01:01,691
HAVE GONE UP SIGNIFICANTLY, AND 

2046
01:01:01,691 --> 01:01:03,226
I NOW HAVE FAR FEWER CHOICES 

2047
01:01:03,226 --> 01:01:06,129
ABOUT WHAT I CAN BUY. THERE'S 

2048
01:01:06,129 --> 01:01:06,763
SOMETHING DEEPLY INSIDIOUS ABOUT

2049
01:01:06,763 --> 01:01:08,464
AN ALGORITHM USING THAT 

2050
01:01:08,464 --> 01:01:09,198
VULNERABILITY TO EXTRACT MORE 

2051
01:01:09,198 --> 01:01:12,168
MONEY FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME. I 

2052
01:01:12,168 --> 01:01:14,170
URGE THE COUNCIL TO SUPPORT THIS

2053
01:01:14,170 --> 01:01:16,339
IMPORTANT BILL TO PROTECT 

2054
01:01:16,339 --> 01:01:17,173
WORKERS AND CONSUMERS. THANK 

2055
01:01:17,173 --> 01:01:17,373

SEATTLE AND WASHINGTON STATE. 

2065
01:01:33,322 --> 01:01:34,657
CAREGIVERS STRUGGLE MONTH TO 

2066
01:01:34,657 --> 01:01:35,792
MONTH TO PAY THEIR BILLS. THE 

2067
01:01:35,792 --> 01:01:37,794
COST OF FOOD HAS INCREASED 35% 

2068
01:01:37,794 --> 01:01:42,065
SINCE 2020, AND 1 IN 7 

2069
01:01:42,065 --> 01:01:42,632
CAREGIVERS REPORT THAT THEY 

2070
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:43,766
ALWAYS ARE, OFTEN EAT LESS OR 

2071
01:01:43,766 --> 01:01:47,537
SKIP MEALS TO MAKE ENDS MEET. 

2072
01:01:47,537 --> 01:01:48,137
CAREGIVERS ARE OFTEN SHOPPING 

2073
01:01:48,137 --> 01:01:49,639
AND PURCHASING FOOD FOR THEIR 

2074

FAMILY MEMBERS OR CLIENTS WHO 

2075
01:01:51,407 --> 01:01:53,276
HAVE SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS DUE 

2076
01:01:53,276 --> 01:01:55,078
TO THEIR HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND 

2077
01:01:55,078 --> 01:01:56,412
IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR GROCERY 

2078
01:01:56,412 --> 01:01:58,581
STORES TO BE ABLE TO CHARGE THEM

2079
01:01:58,581 --> 01:02:00,516
MORE BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE AND

2080
01:02:00,516 --> 01:02:02,719
WHAT THEY ARE PURCHASING. THANK 

2081

YOU TO MAYOR WILSON

AND SAKA FOR THIS IMPORTANT 

2084
01:02:07,657 --> 01:02:09,826
LEGISLATION, AND WE URGE THE 

2085
01:02:09,826 --> 01:02:11,227
COUNCIL TO PASS THE LEGISLATION 

2086
01:02:11,227 --> 01:02:11,861
WITHOUT THE AMENDMENT SPONSORED 

2087
01:02:11,861 --> 01:02:13,029
BY COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. THANK 

2088

YOU. 

2089
01:02:13,996 --> 01:02:15,932

2090
01:02:15,932 --> 01:02:18,434
ELLE, FOLLOWED BY JOHN AND THEN 

2091
01:02:18,434 --> 01:02:20,236
T. WELCOME, ELLE. GOOD TO SEE 

2092
01:02:20,236 --> 01:02:20,436
YOU.

01:02:20,436 --> 01:02:23,139
-- VERY MUCH. THANK YOU VERY 

2094
01:02:23,139 --> 01:02:25,708
MUCH. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. 

2095
01:02:25,708 --> 01:02:27,143
AND I'VE GOT TO TELL Y'ALL 

2096
01:02:27,143 --> 01:02:29,078
SOMETHING. YOU GUYS ARE PIONEERS

2097
01:02:29,078 --> 01:02:30,146
WHETHER YOU WANT TO BE OR NOT. 

2098
01:02:30,146 --> 01:02:32,448
THIS IS A TRYING TIME FOR ALL OF

2099
01:02:32,448 --> 01:02:34,383
US. THIS IS AN AGE WHEN 

2100
01:02:34,383 --> 01:02:35,384
TRANSGENDER IS COMING TO THE 

2101
01:02:35,384 --> 01:02:36,986
FOREFRONT. I'VE SENT YOU WHAT I

2102
01:02:36,986 --> 01:02:40,523
WOULD CONSIDER TO BE A PROPOSED 

2103
01:02:40,523 --> 01:02:42,925
ORAL AMENDMENT TO 32219 THAT 

2104
01:02:42,925 --> 01:02:43,459
WOULD ALSO RECOGNIZE THE 

2105
01:02:43,459 --> 01:02:44,894
TRANSGENDER MEMORIAL AND MURAL 

2106
01:02:44,894 --> 01:02:46,863
THAT IS IN CAL ANDERSON AS A 

2107
01:02:46,863 --> 01:02:49,365
HISTORICAL SITE, WHICH WE JUST 

2108
01:02:49,365 --> 01:02:51,200
PUT UP ANOTHER NAME ABOUT THREE 

2109
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:52,735
WEEKS AGO, AND ENOUGH'S ENOUGH.

2110
01:02:52,735 --> 01:02:54,837
WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT SPOT 

2111
01:02:54,837 --> 01:02:55,872
AS WELL. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I

2112
01:02:55,872 --> 01:02:57,039
WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET 

2113
01:02:57,039 --> 01:02:59,308
THAT I LISTENED TO TODAY. IT 

2114
01:02:59,308 --> 01:03:01,043
SOUNDED GREAT. WE GOT $500,000. 

2115
01:03:01,043 --> 01:03:02,879
I GOT 25 SECONDS TO SAY THIS. 60

2116
01:03:02,879 --> 01:03:05,214
NEW POLICE. WE DON'T NEED. WE 

2117
01:03:05,214 --> 01:03:07,817
POLICE OUR OWN. WE TAKE CARE OF 

2118
01:03:07,817 --> 01:03:08,985
OUR OWN. OUR NUMBERS HAVE 

2119
01:03:08,985 --> 01:03:11,187
DROPPED. THERE ARE VICTIMS HERE.

2120
01:03:11,187 --> 01:03:13,289
POLICE BRUTALITY THAT THAT 

2121
01:03:13,289 --> 01:03:15,124
EXISTED ON MAY THE 5th AND HAD 

2122
01:03:15,124 --> 01:03:16,659
NO OTHER PURPOSE MAY OF LAST 

2123
01:03:16,659 --> 01:03:18,461
YEAR. AND THEY HAD NOTHING ELSE 

2124
01:03:18,461 --> 01:03:20,663
THAN BEING IN THAT SPACE. SO 

2125
01:03:20,663 --> 01:03:21,931
PLEASE, WE DON'T NEED 60 MORE. 

2126
01:03:21,931 --> 01:03:23,699
BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THEY'RE 

2127
01:03:23,699 --> 01:03:24,333
GOING TO DO WHEN YOU GET THE 60 

2128
01:03:24,333 --> 01:03:26,836
MORE IS ASK FOR 60 MORE. AFTER 

2129
01:03:26,836 --> 01:03:27,036
THAT. 

2130

AMENDMENTS A, C, D, E, F AND G. 

2139
01:03:44,954 --> 01:03:46,389
WE'VE ALL SEEN THE HEADLINES 

2140
01:03:46,389 --> 01:03:47,590
ABOUT THE RISKS OF AI AND THE 

2141
01:03:47,590 --> 01:03:50,059
NEED FOR REGULATION. YOU HAVE A 

2142
01:03:50,059 --> 01:03:52,128
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO DO 

2143
01:03:52,128 --> 01:03:54,630
SOMETHING TODAY TO PROTECT, 

2144
01:03:54,630 --> 01:03:55,198
PROTECT SEATTLE CONSUMERS,

WORKERS AND INDEPENDENT GROCERS 

2146

OF THE COUNTRY. PLEASE DO NOT 

2148
01:03:59,468 --> 01:04:01,971
THROW AWAY THIS OPPORTUNITY BY 

2149
01:04:01,971 --> 01:04:04,006
ADDING LOOPHOLES AND WEAKENING 

2150
01:04:04,006 --> 01:04:06,242
ENFORCEMENT AMENDMENTS. A AND C 

2151
01:04:06,242 --> 01:04:07,944
COMPLETELY DESTROY THE BILL'S 

2152
01:04:07,944 --> 01:04:08,578
PROTECTIONS BY ALLOWING PERSONAL

INDIVIDUALIZED PRICING, BY 

2155
01:04:11,514 --> 01:04:12,181
MANIPULATING DISCOUNTS. THAT'S 

2156
01:04:12,181 --> 01:04:13,182
JUST A DIFFERENT WAY OF 

2157
01:04:13,182 --> 01:04:14,584
IMPLEMENTING SURVEILLANCE, 

2158
01:04:14,584 --> 01:04:15,618

YOUR GOOD WORK BY PRESSING THE

STATE LEGISLATURE TO PASS 

2167

SOMETHING WEAKER. SO PLEASE 

2168
01:04:30,733 --> 01:04:31,734
REJECT ALL THESE AMENDMENTS AND 

2169
01:04:31,734 --> 01:04:32,702
PASS A STRONG VERSION OF THE

ORDINANCE TODAY. THANKS VERY 

2171
01:04:33,302 --> 01:04:35,338
MUCH TO THE SPONSORS FOR ALL 

2172
01:04:35,338 --> 01:04:36,372
YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS BILL, AND

2173
01:04:36,372 --> 01:04:38,441
THIS IS SOMETHING TO BUILD ON IN

2174
01:04:38,441 --> 01:04:38,741
THE FUTURE. 

2175
01:04:38,741 --> 01:04:40,676

RACHEL SEPT. WELCOME T. 

2178
01:04:44,714 --> 01:04:46,182
-- GOOD AFTERNOON, 

2179
01:04:46,182 --> 01:04:48,017
COUNCILMEMBERS. I'M T SHANNON 

2180
01:04:48,017 --> 01:04:49,652
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE ACLU 

2181
01:04:49,652 --> 01:04:51,487
OF WASHINGTON IN SUPPORT OF THE 

2182
01:04:51,487 --> 01:04:54,056
FAIR PRICING ORDINANCE 

2183
01:04:54,056 --> 01:04:54,690
SURVEILLANCE PRICING THREATENS 

2184
01:04:54,690 --> 01:04:56,792
OUR PRIVACY. IT INCENTIVIZES 

2185
01:04:56,792 --> 01:04:58,494
BUSINESSES TO COLLECT EVEN MORE 

2186
01:04:58,494 --> 01:05:00,229
PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT 

2187
01:05:00,229 --> 01:05:01,163
CONSUMERS TO INCREASE THEIR 

2188
01:05:01,163 --> 01:05:02,298
PROFITS, BECAUSE THEY CAN USE 

2189
01:05:02,298 --> 01:05:03,432
THAT DATA TO SET THE HIGHEST 

2190
01:05:03,432 --> 01:05:05,501
PRICE. A SPECIFIC PERSON WILL 

2191
01:05:05,501 --> 01:05:08,604
PAY. IT'S ALSO AN EQUITY ISSUE.

2192
01:05:08,604 --> 01:05:09,205
SURVEILLANCE PRICING CAN PUT 

2193
01:05:09,205 --> 01:05:11,040
PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY 

2194
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:12,008
FINANCIALLY VULNERABLE AT 

2195
01:05:12,008 --> 01:05:14,110
GREATER RISK OF PAYING MORE FOR 

2196
01:05:14,110 --> 01:05:15,678
BASIC NECESSITIES, SETTING 

2197
01:05:15,678 --> 01:05:16,245
PRICES BASED ON PEOPLE'S 

2198
01:05:16,245 --> 01:05:18,848
PERSONAL DATA RISKS PRODUCING 

2199
01:05:18,848 --> 01:05:21,017
DISCRIMINATORY OUTCOMES EVEN IF 

2200
01:05:21,017 --> 01:05:21,651
PROTECTED CHARACTERISTICS LIKE 

2201
01:05:21,651 --> 01:05:22,652
RACE AND GENDER ARE NOT USED 

2202
01:05:22,652 --> 01:05:24,920
DIRECTLY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF AN 

2203
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,389
ALGORITHM USES DATA THAT IS 

2204
01:05:26,389 --> 01:05:27,823
HIGHLY CORRELATED WITH RACE OR 

2205
01:05:27,823 --> 01:05:29,058
GENDER, WE URGE YOU TO PASS A 

2206
01:05:29,058 --> 01:05:30,326
STRONG VERSION OF THIS 

2207
01:05:30,326 --> 01:05:31,193
ORDINANCE. WE BELIEVE 

2208
01:05:31,193 --> 01:05:33,029
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE'S 

2209
01:05:33,029 --> 01:05:33,663
AMENDMENTS WILL WEAKEN THE BILL 

2210
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:35,464
BY REMOVING IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

2211
01:05:35,464 --> 01:05:37,500
AND MAKING ENFORCEMENT HARDER. 

2212
01:05:37,500 --> 01:05:38,801
SEATTLEITES DESERVE TO SHOP FOR 

2213
01:05:38,801 --> 01:05:39,902
GROCERIES WITH THE CONFIDENCE 

2214
01:05:39,902 --> 01:05:41,704
THAT THEY'RE BEING TREATED 

2215
01:05:41,704 --> 01:05:43,639
FAIRLY. THANK YOU. 

2216
01:05:43,639 --> 01:05:44,674
-- THANK YOU. T NEXT WE HAVE 

2217
01:05:44,674 --> 01:05:45,975
BENNETT, FOLLOWED BY DANIEL, 

2218
01:05:45,975 --> 01:05:49,412
RACHEL AND SEPT. WELCOME 

2219
01:05:49,412 --> 01:05:49,679
BENNETT. 

2220
01:05:49,679 --> 01:05:50,846
-- AND COUNCIL AND I WANTED TO 

2221
01:05:50,846 --> 01:05:52,315
JOIN THE COUNCIL AND TAKE A 

2222
01:05:52,315 --> 01:05:54,583
MINUTE TO THANK. THANK YOU NICK 

2223
01:05:54,583 --> 01:05:56,285
FOR HIS SERVICE. THANKS BUDDY. 

2224
01:05:56,285 --> 01:05:57,186
SPEAKERS OUT THERE. YOU CAN HEAR

2225
01:05:57,186 --> 01:06:00,289
ME. NICK WAS ACTUALLY THE HEAD 

2226
01:06:00,289 --> 01:06:00,923
SECURITY GUARD ON THE DAY THAT 

2227
01:06:00,923 --> 01:06:02,692
ME AND FIVE OTHER PROTESTERS HAD

2228
01:06:02,692 --> 01:06:04,226
TO SIT IN HERE AND GOT ARRESTED.

2229
01:06:04,226 --> 01:06:05,127
AND, YOU KNOW, WE DID WHAT WE 

2230
01:06:05,127 --> 01:06:06,562
HAD TO DO. IT WASN'T PERSONAL. 

2231
01:06:06,562 --> 01:06:07,697
HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE 

2232
01:06:07,697 --> 01:06:09,298
HELPED TO DE-ESCALATE 

2233
01:06:09,298 --> 01:06:10,766
EVERYTHING, AND HE DID HIS JOB 

2234
01:06:10,766 --> 01:06:12,134
WITH THE DISTINCTION THAT DAY, 

2235
01:06:12,134 --> 01:06:13,736
JUST LIKE HE DOES EVERY DAY. SO 

2236
01:06:13,736 --> 01:06:15,538
THANKS, BUDDY. HAPPY TRAILS. 

2237
01:06:15,538 --> 01:06:17,740
NOW, I ALSO WANTED TO SPEAK IN 

2238
01:06:17,740 --> 01:06:18,908
SUPPORT OF THE FAIR PRICING 

2239
01:06:18,908 --> 01:06:20,109
ORDINANCE. I WANT TO CALL OUT 

2240
01:06:20,109 --> 01:06:21,677
SOMETHING THAT SAFEWAY IS 

2241
01:06:21,677 --> 01:06:23,746
TELLING PEOPLE ON THEIR WEBSITE,

2242
01:06:23,746 --> 01:06:25,247
PEXELS.COM, SAYING IT WOULD 

2243
01:06:25,247 --> 01:06:26,682
PROHIBIT BRANDS THAT SEND YOU 

2244
01:06:26,682 --> 01:06:27,717
DIGITAL COUPONS BASED ON WHAT 

2245
01:06:27,717 --> 01:06:29,085
YOU ALREADY BUY. THIS IS NOT 

2246
01:06:29,085 --> 01:06:30,987
TRUE. THE ORDINANCE SPECIFICALLY

2247
01:06:30,987 --> 01:06:31,987
SAYS THE DISCOUNTED PRICE IS 

2248
01:06:31,987 --> 01:06:33,422
OFFERED TO A SUBSET OF LOYALTY 

2249
01:06:33,422 --> 01:06:35,057
PROGRAM BASED ON PRIOR PURCHASE 

2250
01:06:35,057 --> 01:06:36,225
HISTORY, AS LONG AS IT'S DONE IN

2251
01:06:36,225 --> 01:06:37,994
AN EQUITABLE MANNER, ALLOWED FOR

2252
01:06:37,994 --> 01:06:39,228
EVERYBODY. THEY'RE JUST TRYING 

2253
01:06:39,228 --> 01:06:41,097
TO SCARE US. IT IS NOT TRUE THAT

2254
01:06:41,097 --> 01:06:42,398
THE NORMAL COUPONS BASED ON 

2255
01:06:42,398 --> 01:06:44,000
PURCHASE HISTORY ARE DISALLOWED,

2256
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,267
SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BILL. 

2257
01:06:45,267 --> 01:06:46,335
THAT'S WHY IT HAS SUPPORT FROM 

2258
01:06:46,335 --> 01:06:48,571
BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE. PEOPLE 

2259
01:06:48,571 --> 01:06:53,709
ADVOCATING TIRELESSLY AND 

2260
01:06:53,709 --> 01:06:54,343
TIRELESSLY FOR ACCOUNTABILITY. 

2261
01:06:54,343 --> 01:06:56,112
-- THANK YOU. BENNETT. AND JUST 

2262
01:06:56,112 --> 01:06:58,447
JUST TO CLARIFY, I WAS NOT THE 

2263
01:06:58,447 --> 01:06:59,815
COUNCIL PRESIDENT WHEN YOU ALL 

2264
01:06:59,815 --> 01:07:00,850
GOT ARRESTED. SO I JUST WANT TO 

2265
01:07:00,850 --> 01:07:02,518
CLARIFY THAT. DANIEL, ARE YOU 

2266
01:07:02,518 --> 01:07:04,720
HERE? DANIEL FOLLOWED BY RACHEL,

2267
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,222
SETH, JEFF AND HANNAH. WELCOME. 

2268
01:07:06,222 --> 01:07:07,556
-- GOOD AFTERNOON, 

2269
01:07:07,556 --> 01:07:09,325
COUNCILMEMBERS. MY NAME IS

OF THE SOUND INDUSTRIAL 

2272
01:07:11,127 --> 01:07:12,328
ALLIANCE. I'M HERE TODAY TO URGE

2273
01:07:12,328 --> 01:07:15,164
YOU TO PASS COUNCIL BILL 121268 

2274
01:07:15,164 --> 01:07:16,565
AND MOVE THE BALLARD INTERBAY 

2275
01:07:16,565 --> 01:07:18,034
AND GREATER DUWAMISH MIC SUB 

2276
01:07:18,034 --> 01:07:20,169
AREA PLANS FORWARD THE YEARS OF 

2277
01:07:20,169 --> 01:07:22,004
WORK THAT BROUGHT US HERE 

2278
01:07:22,004 --> 01:07:23,939
MATTERS. SEATTLE BROUGHT 

2279
01:07:23,939 --> 01:07:25,374
TOGETHER A DIVERSE COALITION OF 

2280
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:27,209
INDUSTRY, LABOR, COMMUNITY AND 

2281
01:07:27,209 --> 01:07:29,845
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO FIND 

2282
01:07:29,845 --> 01:07:31,514
COMMON GROUND AROUND THE FUTURE 

2283
01:07:31,514 --> 01:07:32,848
OF THESE INDUSTRIAL LANDS. 

2284
01:07:32,848 --> 01:07:35,151
MOVING THESE PLANS FORWARD 

2285
01:07:35,151 --> 01:07:36,085
PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT 

2286
01:07:36,085 --> 01:07:37,119
FOUNDATION, BUT IT SHOULD ALSO 

2287
01:07:37,119 --> 01:07:39,321
MARK THE BEGINNING OF OUR NEXT 

2288
01:07:39,321 --> 01:07:40,489
CONVERSATION. WHAT DO WE WANT 

2289
01:07:40,489 --> 01:07:42,258
THE NEXT GENERATION OF 

2290
01:07:42,258 --> 01:07:43,592
SEATTLE'S INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY TO

2291
01:07:43,592 --> 01:07:45,394
LOOK LIKE? HOW DO WE HELP 

2292
01:07:45,394 --> 01:07:47,096
EXISTING BUSINESSES STAY, GROW 

2293
01:07:47,096 --> 01:07:47,763
AND INVEST? HOW DO WE ATTRACT 

2294
01:07:47,763 --> 01:07:49,799
NEW INDUSTRIES AND CREATE NEW 

2295
01:07:49,799 --> 01:07:52,935

2300
01:08:01,243 --> 01:08:02,678

BECOME A NATIONAL MODEL FOR 

2302

MODERN URBAN INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY.

2303
01:08:06,916 --> 01:08:07,550
THAT STARTS WITH PROTECTING THE 

2304
01:08:07,550 --> 01:08:09,251
LAND THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE. I 

2305

01:09:35,905 --> 01:09:38,007
PASSED OUT OF COMMITTEE WITHOUT 

2354
01:09:38,007 --> 01:09:40,509
CORPORATE AMENDMENTS. EVERY 

2355
01:09:40,509 --> 01:09:42,611
AMENDMENT ASIDE FROM AMENDMENT B

2356
01:09:42,611 --> 01:09:44,213

01:09:44,213 --> 01:09:46,282
AND SEATTLE DESERVES BETTER. I 

2358
01:09:46,282 --> 01:09:47,616
ALSO WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL 

2359
01:09:47,616 --> 01:09:50,085
FOR RECOGNIZING DENNY BLAINE

01:09:50,085 --> 01:09:51,887
PARK THAT PARK AS SIGNIFICANCE 

2361
01:09:51,887 --> 01:09:53,088
TO ME. IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I 

2362
01:09:53,088 --> 01:09:55,124
BELONG IN A WORLD THAT IS ALWAYS

2363
01:09:55,124 --> 01:09:56,592
TELLING US THAT OUR IDENTITIES 

2364
01:09:56,592 --> 01:09:59,895
ARE WRONG. SO THANK YOU FOR 

2365
01:09:59,895 --> 01:10:02,231
THAT. SO PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE 

2366
01:10:02,231 --> 01:10:03,732
FORCED TO PAY DIFFERENT PRICES 

2367
01:10:03,732 --> 01:10:05,935
FOR THE SAME GOODS, BECAUSE AN 

2368
01:10:05,935 --> 01:10:08,170
ALGORITHM ANALYZED THEIR 

2369
01:10:08,170 --> 01:10:10,873
PERSONAL INFORMATION TO US. 

2370
01:10:10,873 --> 01:10:13,375
LGBTQIA PLUS PEOPLE ALREADY 

2371
01:10:13,375 --> 01:10:13,976
EXPERIENCED DISPROPORTIONATE 

2372
01:10:13,976 --> 01:10:14,710
FINANCIAL BURDENS AND THEREFORE 

2373
01:10:14,710 --> 01:10:16,445
SPEND A LARGER PORTION OF OUR 

2374
01:10:16,445 --> 01:10:18,013
INCOMES ON NECESSITIES LIKE 

2375
01:10:18,013 --> 01:10:20,316
FOOD. WE DO OUR BEST TO KEEP 

2376
01:10:20,316 --> 01:10:22,184
EACH OTHER SAFE IN A POLITICAL 

2377
01:10:22,184 --> 01:10:23,752
CLIMATE THAT CONSISTENTLY 

2378
01:10:23,752 --> 01:10:25,621
THREATENS OUR VERY EXISTENCE, 

2379
01:10:25,621 --> 01:10:26,155
AND ALLOWING COMPANIES TO 

2380
01:10:26,155 --> 01:10:27,556
UNFAIRLY RAISE PRICES WILL 

2381
01:10:27,556 --> 01:10:29,692
FURTHER DESTABILIZE OUR 

2382
01:10:29,692 --> 01:10:31,460
COMMUNITY. SO PLEASE PASS THIS 

2383
01:10:31,460 --> 01:10:32,428
WITHOUT CORPORATE AMENDMENTS.

IT'S NOT POLITICAL. IT'S NOT 

2407
01:11:14,937 --> 01:11:17,573
ANY PARTY. IT'S JUST A GROUP OF

2408
01:11:17,573 --> 01:11:18,207
PEOPLE THAT CARE ABOUT THE CITY.

2409

AND THEN SARAH. 

2418
01:11:42,297 --> 01:11:45,868
-- HI, MY NAME IS HANNAH. I'M 

2419
01:11:45,868 --> 01:11:47,536
INTERESTED IN OUR LOCAL ECONOMY.

2420
01:11:47,536 --> 01:11:49,938
I LIVE NEARBY IN PIONEER SQUARE,

2421
01:11:49,938 --> 01:11:52,408
AND I'M ALSO GOING TO 

2422
01:11:52,408 --> 01:11:54,743
SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS NUMBER 

2423
01:11:54,743 --> 01:11:56,045
121268. TODAY. I WANT TO BRING 

2424
01:11:56,045 --> 01:11:59,348
ATTENTION TO THIS DUWAMISH 

2425
01:11:59,348 --> 01:11:59,982
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIAL CENTER 

2426
01:11:59,982 --> 01:12:03,452
REAL ESTATE PLAN. I HAVE A 

2427
01:12:03,452 --> 01:12:05,421
PICTURE OF DOWNTOWN PULLED UP ON

2428
01:12:05,421 --> 01:12:10,326
MY PHONE AND YOU NOTICE IT'S 

2429
01:12:10,326 --> 01:12:11,894
BLUE. AND THIS IS MARKED TO BE 

2430
01:12:11,894 --> 01:12:14,963
THE GREATER DUWAMISH INDUSTRIAL 

2431
01:12:14,963 --> 01:12:17,599
AREA. A NICE OF THEM TO LEAVE 

2432
01:12:17,599 --> 01:12:18,767
OUT MY BLOCK. I THINK THAT THERE

2433
01:12:18,767 --> 01:12:21,303
ARE SOME HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS 

2434
01:12:21,303 --> 01:12:23,572
SOUTH OF HERE, AND THEN IT ALSO 

2435
01:12:23,572 --> 01:12:28,043
GOES ALL ALONG I-5 AND CROSSES 

2436
01:12:28,043 --> 01:12:29,845
IN INTO THE WOODS IN COLUMBIA 

2437
01:12:29,845 --> 01:12:31,080
CITY. HERE IN SEATTLE WE HAVE 

2438
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,182
WOODS TO THE NORTH, THE SOUTH, 

2439
01:12:33,182 --> 01:12:33,816
THE EAST AND THE WEST. AND I 

2440
01:12:33,816 --> 01:12:36,218
THINK THAT'S COUNTER TO WHO WE 

2441
01:12:36,218 --> 01:12:39,321
ARE AS A CITY TO APPROVE OF 

2442
01:12:39,321 --> 01:12:40,022
THIS. I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER

2443
01:12:40,022 --> 01:12:42,124
IF WE SAY SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE 

2444
01:12:42,124 --> 01:12:45,327
NEED AND TRY TO MEET THOSE NEEDS

2445
01:12:45,327 --> 01:12:47,529
SPECIFICALLY, MAYBE IN AREAS. 

2446
01:12:47,529 --> 01:12:49,264
-- THAT ARE. 

2447
01:12:49,264 --> 01:12:49,732
-- ALREADY PREPARED. 

2448
01:12:49,732 --> 01:12:50,666
-- THANK YOU. HANNAH. NEXT WE 

2449
01:12:50,666 --> 01:12:52,534

2452
01:12:59,675 --> 01:13:04,146

2566
01:17:17,799 --> 01:17:20,035
THAT WE WERE NO LONGER

STOPPED SUPPLYING US WITH GOODS.

2571
01:17:27,442 --> 01:17:29,211
SO TODAY WE SPEND OUR OWN MONEY 

2572
01:17:29,211 --> 01:17:30,379
TO PUT THAT FOOD OUT THERE. WE 

2573

PROGRAMS THAT THEY'RE CITING, 

2575

FIRST TIMES I CAN SAY THEY DID A

2596
01:18:08,250 --> 01:18:09,151
PRETTY GOOD JOB THIS TIME. 

2597
01:18:09,151 --> 01:18:09,885
PRETTY HAPPY WITH THIS ONE. SO 

2598
01:18:09,885 --> 01:18:11,686
LET'S READ SOME QUOTES HERE. 

2599
01:18:11,686 --> 01:18:14,022
OFFICER CALEB HOWARD'S TACKLE 

2600
01:18:14,022 --> 01:18:14,756
WAS OBJECTIVELY UNREASONABLE, 

2601
01:18:14,756 --> 01:18:17,426
UNNECESSARY AND DISPROPORTIONATE

2602
01:18:17,426 --> 01:18:18,093

2603
01:18:18,093 --> 01:18:19,961

2606

BLAME THE VICTIM HERE? LET'S 

2608
01:18:23,799 --> 01:18:24,833
READ THE QUOTE. AND WHAT I DID, 

2609
01:18:24,833 --> 01:18:26,101
THE COMPLAINANT DID NOT APPEAR 

2610
01:18:26,101 --> 01:18:27,436
TO COMMIT A CRIME. POSE A 

2611
01:18:27,436 --> 01:18:29,471
THREAT, RESIST OR ATTEMPT TO 

2612
01:18:29,471 --> 01:18:30,505
ESCAPE. BUT THAT DIDN'T MATTER.

2613
01:18:30,505 --> 01:18:31,273
I GOT PUNCHED IN THE HEAD A LOT.

2614
01:18:31,273 --> 01:18:33,208
ANYWAY, DURING THIS 

2615
01:18:33,208 --> 01:18:33,875
INVESTIGATION, HE ALSO TRIED TO 

2616
01:18:33,875 --> 01:18:35,777
LIE AND SAY THAT I ASSAULTED 

2617
01:18:35,777 --> 01:18:37,145
ANOTHER OFFICER AND THAT I HAD 

2618
01:18:37,145 --> 01:18:40,148
ASSAULTED HIM, WHICH AGAIN DID 

2619
01:18:40,148 --> 01:18:41,683
NOT COMMIT A CRIME, AS 

2620
01:18:41,683 --> 01:18:42,350
MENTIONED, BUT ALSO DIDN'T MAKE

2621
01:18:42,350 --> 01:18:43,685
A LOT OF SENSE BECAUSE AFTER 

2622
01:18:43,685 --> 01:18:44,686
PUNCHING ME IN THE HEAD 

2623
01:18:44,686 --> 01:18:45,353
REPEATEDLY, INSTEAD OF ARRESTING

2624
01:18:45,353 --> 01:18:46,855
ME, HE WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE. AND 

2625
01:18:46,855 --> 01:18:48,190
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS 

2626
01:18:48,190 --> 01:18:48,824
OFFICER? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. HE 

2627
01:18:48,824 --> 01:18:50,492
JUST WENT ON TO PUNCH OTHER 

2628
01:18:50,492 --> 01:18:51,860
PEOPLE, AND NOW HE'S STILL ON 

2629
01:18:51,860 --> 01:18:52,494
THE FORCE INVESTIGATION. SO 

2630
01:18:52,494 --> 01:18:53,328
YEAH, HE DEFINITELY DID THAT 

2631
01:18:53,328 --> 01:18:56,431
STUFF. BUT OUTSIDE THE TIMELINE,

2632
01:18:56,431 --> 01:18:58,200
WHAT CAN YOU DO? HE'S STILL. 

2633
01:18:58,200 --> 01:18:58,800
-- THANK YOU GABRIEL. NEXT WE

01:19:18,053 --> 01:19:20,255
AND I SCRAMBLED. I KNOW, MY BAD.

2644

RELATIONS CHAIR IN THE HUMAN 

2651
01:19:30,332 --> 01:19:32,300
RIGHTS COMMISSION. AND I SUPPORT

2652
01:19:32,300 --> 01:19:34,569
THE FAIR PRICING ORDINANCE AS 

2653
01:19:34,569 --> 01:19:36,838
IS. AND I WANT TO SHARE MY OWN 

2654
01:19:36,838 --> 01:19:41,476
STORY TONIGHT. TODAY, WHEN THE 

2655
01:19:41,476 --> 01:19:42,577
LAST ECONOMIC DOWNTURN HAPPENED 

2656
01:19:42,577 --> 01:19:44,312
IN THE EARLY 2000, BOTH MY 

2657
01:19:44,312 --> 01:19:45,380
FAMILIES WERE ON. BOTH MY MOM 

2658
01:19:45,380 --> 01:19:49,684
AND MY DAD WERE UNEMPLOYED, AND 

2659
01:19:49,684 --> 01:19:50,886
WE HAD TO MAKE ENDS MEET. AND WE

2660
01:19:50,886 --> 01:19:53,755
WERE DEPENDENT ON, ON BUYING 

2661
01:19:53,755 --> 01:19:55,257
GROCERIES AND GOING TO THE FOOD 

2662
01:19:55,257 --> 01:19:57,859
BANK. AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE 

2663
01:19:57,859 --> 01:20:01,396
WHAT IT WOULD DO TO OUR FAMILY 

2664
01:20:01,396 --> 01:20:03,231
IF OUR PRICES ROSE, IF THE PRICE

2665
01:20:03,231 --> 01:20:03,798
OF GROCERIES ROSE, AND ON 

2666
01:20:03,798 --> 01:20:06,401
AVERAGE, THE PRICE OF GROCERIES 

2667
01:20:06,401 --> 01:20:07,736
FROM THIS FROM THIS SURVEILLANCE

2668
01:20:07,736 --> 01:20:11,306
IS GOING TO AVERAGE THE GROCERY 

2669
01:20:11,306 --> 01:20:12,374
BILL TO RISE BY $100. AND SO 

2670
01:20:12,374 --> 01:20:14,409
WHEN I THINK ABOUT THAT, I THINK

2671
01:20:14,409 --> 01:20:15,777
ABOUT THE MANY BLACK AND BROWN 

2672
01:20:15,777 --> 01:20:17,412
FAMILIES THAT ARE IN OUR CITY, 

2673
01:20:17,412 --> 01:20:19,214

2674
01:20:19,214 --> 01:20:19,848
FAMILIES THAT CALL SEATTLE HOME,

2675
01:20:19,848 --> 01:20:21,116
THAT ARE GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY

2676
01:20:21,116 --> 01:20:23,018
THAT. AND I ASK THAT YOU ALL 

2677
01:20:23,018 --> 01:20:25,220

ECONOMIC CLIMATE IN SEATTLE. THE

2696
01:20:49,411 --> 01:20:51,012
PROPOSED PRICING ORDINANCE WOULD

2697
01:20:51,012 --> 01:20:52,080
HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON 

2698
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:53,515
BOTH BUSINESS CLIMATE AND 

2699

THE BRUNT OF THE FASTEST FOOD 

2704
01:21:00,555 --> 01:21:01,990
INCREASES SINCE THE 1970s DUE TO

2705
01:21:01,990 --> 01:21:03,625
A VARIETY OF FACTORS. THE 

2706
01:21:03,625 --> 01:21:04,793
PROGRAMS CONSUMERS USE TO 

2707
01:21:04,793 --> 01:21:06,261
MITIGATE THESE HIGHER COSTS 

2708
01:21:06,261 --> 01:21:07,796
COUPONS, FUEL DISCOUNTS, REWARD 

2709
01:21:07,796 --> 01:21:08,830
PROGRAMS WILL DISAPPEAR WITH THE

2710
01:21:08,830 --> 01:21:10,165
PASSAGE OF THIS ORDINANCE. SOME 

2711

CARVE OUTS HAVE BEEN 

2712
01:21:11,900 --> 01:21:12,500
INCORPORATED IN THE PROPOSAL, 

2713
01:21:12,500 --> 01:21:15,303
BUT THEY'RE SO NARROW THAT THEY

01:21:15,303 --> 01:21:15,804
EFFECTIVELY PROHIBIT OR 

2715
01:21:15,804 --> 01:21:17,272
DISCOURAGE THESE MUCH LOVED

OF LIVING AND BUSINESS CLIMATE 

2723
01:21:28,049 --> 01:21:29,284

NOT OKAY. HOWEVER, GETTING 

2888
01:26:16,037 --> 01:26:16,604
PERSONALIZED DISCOUNTS IS A 

2889
01:26:16,604 --> 01:26:17,739

OTHER PLACES ACROSS THE CITY. 

3017

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS 

3018
01:30:39,700 --> 01:30:42,336
CONTINUALLY HAPPENING THAT 

3019
01:30:42,336 --> 01:30:42,970
DESPITE THE SUPPOSED RESOURCES 

3020

THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO COME TO OUR

3021

COMMUNITY, THE COPS ARE 

3022
01:30:47,041 --> 01:30:47,575
CONTINUALLY HARASSING AND 

3023
01:30:47,575 --> 01:30:48,209
THROWING PEOPLE FROM ONE PLACE 

3024
01:30:48,209 --> 01:30:50,077
TO THE CITY TO ANOTHER. THIS IS 

3025
01:30:50,077 --> 01:30:52,246
SOMETHING THAT IS 

3026
01:30:52,246 --> 01:30:52,847
UNCONSCIONABLE, ESPECIALLY AS 

3027
01:30:52,847 --> 01:30:54,549
THE MAYOR HAS HAS PROPOSED THE 

3028
01:30:54,549 --> 01:30:56,584

INCREASE TO THE POLICE BUDGET. 

3030

TRANS PEOPLE ARE WONDERING, WHY 

3031

DO WE HAVE TO FUND ALL OF THE 

3032
01:31:02,990 --> 01:31:06,294
PEOPLE THAT DO NOT SUPPORT US? 

3033
01:31:06,294 --> 01:31:07,662
TRANS PEOPLE DO NOT GET POLICE

3035
01:31:09,330 --> 01:31:11,532
PEOPLE WAIT FOR UPWARDS OF A DAY

3036
01:31:11,532 --> 01:31:13,835
FOR A CALL BACK FROM THE COPS, 

3037
01:31:13,835 --> 01:31:15,236
AND THEN THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP. 

3038
01:31:15,236 --> 01:31:17,705
WE WANT TO KNOW WHY IS IT THAT 

3039
01:31:17,705 --> 01:31:19,440
THEY ALWAYS GET MORE AND MORE 

3040

3041
01:31:21,509 --> 01:31:24,212
SWEPT FROM PLACE TO PLACE? THIS 

3042
01:31:24,212 --> 01:31:26,214
IS NOT OKAY. THIS IS NOT 

3043
01:31:26,214 --> 01:31:28,449
REASONABLE. AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY

3044
01:31:28,449 --> 01:31:29,684
UNCONSCIONABLE THAT THIS 

3045
01:31:29,684 --> 01:31:30,318
CONTINUES TO KEEP HAPPENING IN 

3046

3100
01:33:43,818 --> 01:33:48,389
MY ET LIKE AMAZON OR DOORDASH 

3101
01:33:48,389 --> 01:33:50,324
AND. I THINK THAT WITH THE 

3102
01:33:50,324 --> 01:33:52,293
SURVEILLANCE PRICING, THEY WOULD

3103
01:33:52,293 --> 01:33:53,728
BE CERTAIN TO KNOW I WAS 

3104
01:33:53,728 --> 01:33:55,997
DESPERATE. EITHER THAT OR THINK 

3105
01:33:55,997 --> 01:33:59,667
I CAN. OH, YOU KNOW SHE'S 

3106
01:33:59,667 --> 01:34:00,201
BUYING PREPARED FOODS SHE 

3107
01:34:00,201 --> 01:34:01,068
DOESN'T HAVE. YOU KNOW, SHE HAS

3108
01:34:01,068 --> 01:34:03,437
PLENTY OF MONEY. SO EITHER WAY, 

3109
01:34:03,437 --> 01:34:05,840
PASS THE SURVEILLANCE PRICING 

3110

INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION, 

3120

WHOLESALERS AND SUPPLIERS. 

3123
01:34:31,232 --> 01:34:33,567
TODAY, I'M SPEAKING ON THE FAIR

3124
01:34:33,567 --> 01:34:35,036
PRICING ORDINANCE. WE ARE 

3125

3126
01:34:35,603 --> 01:34:38,239

3127
01:34:38,239 --> 01:34:38,773

SEATTLE'S INDEPENDENT GROCERY

STORES. THIS EXEMPTION IS 

3130
01:34:42,410 --> 01:34:43,244
CRITICAL TO PROTECTING THE 

3131
01:34:43,244 --> 01:34:45,546
SMALL, LOCALLY OWNED STORES THAT

3132
01:34:45,546 --> 01:34:47,648
SERVE AS THE CORNERSTONES OF 

3133
01:34:47,648 --> 01:34:48,215
SEATTLE'S NEIGHBORHOODS. 

3134
01:34:48,215 --> 01:34:49,016
INDEPENDENT GROCERS PROVIDE 

3135
01:34:49,016 --> 01:34:51,519
ACCESS TO FOOD AND ESSENTIAL 

3136
01:34:51,519 --> 01:34:52,086
HOUSEHOLD GOODS WILL ALSO. 

3137
01:34:52,086 --> 01:34:53,187
PARTNERING IN VITAL PUBLIC 

3138
01:34:53,187 --> 01:34:55,489

01:34:57,792 --> 01:34:59,193
CUSTOMERS SAVE MONEY, REWARD 

3142
01:34:59,193 --> 01:35:00,661
LOYALTY AND ENABLE SMALL STORES 

3143
01:35:00,661 --> 01:35:02,163
TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE. OUR 

3144
01:35:02,163 --> 01:35:03,597
STORES DO NOT USE ALGORITHMIC 

3145
01:35:03,597 --> 01:35:04,999
PRICING, NOR DO THEY USE 

3146
01:35:04,999 --> 01:35:06,467

3147
01:35:06,467 --> 01:35:07,601

AND FOR RECOGNIZING THE 

3152
01:35:12,940 --> 01:35:14,675
IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING 

3153
01:35:14,675 --> 01:35:15,676
INDEPENDENT GROCERS SO THEY CAN 

3154
01:35:15,676 --> 01:35:17,011
CONTINUE TO SERVE THEIR 

3155
01:35:17,011 --> 01:35:18,279

FAIR PRICING AND TRANSPARENCY 

3163
01:35:31,592 --> 01:35:33,227
ORDINANCE. WE OPPOSE AMENDMENT 

3164
01:35:33,227 --> 01:35:34,729
A, WHICH WOULD LET COMPANIES 

3165
01:35:34,729 --> 01:35:35,963
INFLATE THE BASE PRICE AND CALL 

3166
01:35:35,963 --> 01:35:37,531
SURVEILLANCE PRICES A DISCOUNT. 

3167
01:35:37,531 --> 01:35:40,835
THIS IS WHAT HOTELS, UBER, YOU 

3168
01:35:40,835 --> 01:35:43,003
NAME IT. COMPANIES SAY WHEN THEY

3169
01:35:43,003 --> 01:35:44,105
GET CHARGED. PEOPLE MORE FOR THE

3170
01:35:44,105 --> 01:35:46,073
EXACT SAME THING. THEY OPPOSE 

3171
01:35:46,073 --> 01:35:47,775
AMENDMENT C BECAUSE IT WOULD LET

3172
01:35:47,775 --> 01:35:49,110
COMPANIES COMBINE PURCHASE 

3173
01:35:49,110 --> 01:35:50,811
HISTORY, BEHAVIORAL LOCATION

SPENDING DATA, AND CLAIM THAT 

3175
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:56,250
THE PRICE SET WITH THAT DATA WAS

3176
01:35:56,250 --> 01:35:56,817
PRIMARILY BASED ON PURCHASE 

3177
01:35:56,817 --> 01:35:57,852

AND TRANSPARENT PRICING 

3190
01:36:21,442 --> 01:36:23,677
ORDINANCE. GROCERY STORES SHOULD

3191
01:36:23,677 --> 01:36:25,746
NOT BE COLLECTING INDIVIDUAL 

3192

SHOPPER INFORMATION AND USING 

3193
01:36:27,348 --> 01:36:29,583

PRICING TO THE PARTICULAR 

3195
01:36:31,519 --> 01:36:32,153

TO SHOPPERS AND CONTRIBUTES TO 

3197
01:36:34,855 --> 01:36:36,257

SPEAK TODAY AND FOR PUTTING 

3212
01:37:02,149 --> 01:37:04,018
FORWARD A FAIR PRICING 

3213
01:37:04,018 --> 01:37:04,952
ORDINANCE. I WANT TO URGE THE 

3214
01:37:04,952 --> 01:37:08,889
COUNCIL TO PASS CB 12, 1267, TO 

3215
01:37:08,889 --> 01:37:10,324
BAN ALGORITHMIC PRICE SETTING 

3216
01:37:10,324 --> 01:37:11,792
FOR GROCERY CHAINS IN OUR CITY, 

3217
01:37:11,792 --> 01:37:13,360
EXCLUDING AMENDMENT F AND OTHER 

3218
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:14,995
WEAKENING AMENDMENTS, WHICH 

3219
01:37:14,995 --> 01:37:16,797
WOULD PERMIT SURVEILLANCE FOR 

3220
01:37:16,797 --> 01:37:18,098
PURPOSES OTHER THAN PRICE 

3221
01:37:18,098 --> 01:37:19,733
SETTING. SEATTLE HAS THE 

3222
01:37:19,733 --> 01:37:21,202
OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD THE WAY TO 

3223
01:37:21,202 --> 01:37:21,669
LIMIT THE CAPACITY OF 

3224
01:37:21,669 --> 01:37:23,304
CORPORATIONS TO DRIVE UP COSTS 

3225
01:37:23,304 --> 01:37:25,472
FOR CONSUMERS BUYING BASIC 

3226
01:37:25,472 --> 01:37:26,774
ESSENTIALS. THE COST OF LIVING 

3227
01:37:26,774 --> 01:37:28,442
HAS SKYROCKETED IN RECENT YEARS 

3228
01:37:28,442 --> 01:37:29,443
AND IS LIKELY TO ONLY CONTINUE, 

3229
01:37:29,443 --> 01:37:31,445
WITH RISING OIL PRICES AFFECTING

3230
01:37:31,445 --> 01:37:33,814
CONSUMER GOODS IN EVERY SECTOR. 

3231
01:37:33,814 --> 01:37:35,382
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, IT IS 

3232
01:37:35,382 --> 01:37:36,317
ESSENTIAL THAT THE CITY OF 

3233
01:37:36,317 --> 01:37:37,484
SEATTLE GOVERNMENT DOES WHAT IT 

3234
01:37:37,484 --> 01:37:38,886
CAN TO REGULATE THE MASSIVE 

3235
01:37:38,886 --> 01:37:40,387
CORPORATIONS LOOKING TO SQUEEZE 

3236
01:37:40,387 --> 01:37:42,623
EVERY LAST DOLLAR OUT OF ITS 

3237
01:37:42,623 --> 01:37:43,757
RESIDENTS. ALGORITHMIC BASED 

3238
01:37:43,757 --> 01:37:45,226
PRICING IS NOT ONLY AN INVASIVE 

3239
01:37:45,226 --> 01:37:49,363
USE OF DATA, IT IS ALSO 

3240
01:37:49,363 --> 01:37:50,731
BLATANTLY UNEQUAL. FURTHERMORE, 

3241
01:37:50,731 --> 01:37:51,465
WE KNOW THAT SURVEILLANCE CAN BE

3242
01:37:51,465 --> 01:37:53,367
USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES, SUCH AS

3243
01:37:53,367 --> 01:37:55,803
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ENFORCEMENT 

3244
01:37:55,803 --> 01:37:57,972
OF IMMIGRATION POLICY 

3245
01:37:57,972 --> 01:38:00,007
-- THANK YOU AL. AND IF THERE'S

3246
01:38:00,007 --> 01:38:02,743

01:38:08,349 --> 01:38:09,550
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT SHOWED UP 

3251
01:38:09,550 --> 01:38:10,885
TODAY. WE REALLY, REALLY 

3252
01:38:10,885 --> 01:38:11,685
APPRECIATE IT. AND I ALSO WANT 

3253
01:38:11,685 --> 01:38:13,921
TO THANK THE PEOPLE WHO WAITED 

3254
01:38:13,921 --> 01:38:14,855
ONLINE BECAUSE WE DID MOVE 

3255
01:38:14,855 --> 01:38:15,923
THROUGH A NUMBER OF SPEAKERS 

3256
01:38:15,923 --> 01:38:16,757
THAT WERE HERE IN PERSON AS 

3257
01:38:16,757 --> 01:38:18,325
WELL. SO I JUST WANT TO SEND MY 

3258
01:38:18,325 --> 01:38:19,426
GRATITUDE AND THANK YOU ALL FOR 

3259
01:38:19,426 --> 01:38:21,762
FOR COMING DOWN. WE NEVER TAKE 

3260
01:38:21,762 --> 01:38:22,396
PUBLIC COMMENT LIGHTLY AND JUST 

3261
01:38:22,396 --> 01:38:24,031

3645
01:48:35,342 --> 01:48:37,344
WHEN FEDERAL SNAP REDUCTIONS 

3646
01:48:37,344 --> 01:48:38,511
HAVE ROCKED OUR COMMUNITY, 

3647
01:48:38,511 --> 01:48:40,680
LEAVING PEOPLE WITH LESS TO 

3648

SPEND ON FOOD. THIS IS AN 

3649
01:48:42,182 --> 01:48:44,284
IMPORTANT STEP THAT WE CAN TAKE 

3650
01:48:44,284 --> 01:48:45,752

3653
01:48:49,556 --> 01:48:50,690
TODAY, I BELIEVE THIS COUNCIL 

3654
01:48:50,690 --> 01:48:53,159
SHOULD PASS A STRONG ENFORCEABLE

3655
01:48:53,159 --> 01:48:55,262
POLICY, ONE WITHOUT LOOPHOLES 

3656
01:48:55,262 --> 01:48:57,197
THAT LET COMPANIES CALL 

3657
01:48:57,197 --> 01:48:59,733
INDIVIDUALIZED PRICES A LOYALTY 

3658
01:48:59,733 --> 01:49:00,333
BENEFIT OR DISCOUNT. I HAVE A 

3659
01:49:00,333 --> 01:49:01,468
LOT MORE TO SAY ABOUT THE 

3660
01:49:01,468 --> 01:49:03,003
IMPORTANCE OF THIS LEGISLATION, 

3661
01:49:03,003 --> 01:49:04,404
BUT I'LL BE SAYING THAT DURING 

3662
01:49:04,404 --> 01:49:05,605
MY FINAL REMARKS AT BILL 

3663
01:49:05,605 --> 01:49:08,008
PASSAGE. WHEN WE GET THERE, I 

3664
01:49:08,008 --> 01:49:09,209
WILL NOTE TODAY, JUST AT THE 

3665
01:49:09,209 --> 01:49:10,377
TOP, THAT I AM SUPPORTING THE 

3666
01:49:10,377 --> 01:49:13,313
BILL AS IT'S FORM, AS IT PASSED

3667
01:49:13,313 --> 01:49:15,415
OUT OF COMMITTEE. SO THIS MEANS,

3668
01:49:15,415 --> 01:49:16,449
RESPECTFULLY, I WILL NOT BE 

3669
01:49:16,449 --> 01:49:17,517
SUPPORTING ANY OF THE AMENDMENTS

3670
01:49:17,517 --> 01:49:20,220
ON THE TABLE TODAY. I WILL HAVE 

3671
01:49:20,220 --> 01:49:20,787
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT 

3672
01:49:20,787 --> 01:49:23,123
THESE AMENDMENTS TO UNPACK SOME 

3673
01:49:23,123 --> 01:49:24,024
OF THEIR IMPACTS AND WHAT IT 

3674
01:49:24,024 --> 01:49:25,759
WOULD MEAN FOR THE LEGISLATION, 

3675
01:49:25,759 --> 01:49:26,893
BUT I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR AT 

3676
01:49:26,893 --> 01:49:28,094
THE TOP THAT I'M SUPPORTING THE

3677
01:49:28,094 --> 01:49:29,529
VERSION OF THE BILL THAT LEFT 

3678
01:49:29,529 --> 01:49:31,031

01:49:41,241 --> 01:49:43,076
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING 

3687
01:49:43,076 --> 01:49:45,178
FINAL ACTION ON THIS IMPORTANT 

3688
01:49:45,178 --> 01:49:46,713
LEGISLATION TODAY. THANK YOU,

01:49:49,783 --> 01:49:51,518
WE MOVE INTO DISCUSSION ON THE 

3693
01:49:51,518 --> 01:49:52,919
PROPOSED EIGHT AMENDMENTS, WE 

3694
01:49:52,919 --> 01:49:54,054
HAVE CENTRAL STAFF ALREADY AT 

3695
01:49:54,054 --> 01:49:55,488
THE TABLE THAT WILL HELP WALK US

3696
01:49:55,488 --> 01:49:58,758
THROUGH SOME OF THESE 

3697
01:49:58,758 --> 01:49:59,559
AMENDMENTS, AND THEY HAVE JOINED

3698
01:49:59,559 --> 01:50:01,928
US AT THE TABLE. SO WE'RE NOW 

3699
01:50:01,928 --> 01:50:04,230
GOING TO BEGIN THE DISCUSSION ON

3700
01:50:04,230 --> 01:50:05,265
THE FIRST THREE AMENDMENTS. AND 

3701
01:50:05,265 --> 01:50:07,200
ARE WE ABLE TO SHOW THEM UP ON 

3702
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:08,335
THE SCREEN? YOU ARE DOING THAT 

3703
01:50:08,335 --> 01:50:10,270
TO MUSCLE, SO WE'LL BE AT EASE 

3704
01:50:10,270 --> 01:50:12,005
WHILE WE PUT IT UP THERE. THANK 

3705
01:50:12,005 --> 01:50:14,574
YOU ALL SO MUCH. SO THAT'S THIS

3706
01:50:14,574 --> 01:50:18,845
AWKWARD MOMENT OF SILENCE THAT 

3707
01:50:18,845 --> 01:50:20,046
WE'LL HAVE. YOU ALL MAKE IT 

3708
01:50:20,046 --> 01:50:21,514
AWKWARD. THAT'S WHY IT'S 

3709
01:50:21,514 --> 01:50:29,289
AWKWARD. BUT 

3710
01:50:29,422 --> 01:50:33,126
THANK YOU TOMMASO. REALLY 

3711
01:50:33,126 --> 01:50:39,165
APPRECIATE YOU. SO WE ARE GIVE 

3712
01:50:39,165 --> 01:50:44,537
ME ONE SECOND. OKAY. GOT IT. SO 

3713
01:50:44,537 --> 01:50:45,872
HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS IS 

3714
01:50:45,872 --> 01:50:48,441
TOMMASO IS GOING TO REVIEW 

3715
01:50:48,441 --> 01:50:50,810
AMENDMENTS A, B AND C BEFORE 

3716
01:50:50,810 --> 01:50:52,512
THEY'RE MOVED. AND WE VOTE ON 

3717
01:50:52,512 --> 01:50:57,217
THEM SO THEY CAN TALK ABOUT HOW 

3718
01:50:57,217 --> 01:50:57,584
THEY INTERACT. 

3719
01:50:57,584 --> 01:50:58,518
-- THANK YOU. 

3720
01:50:58,518 --> 01:50:58,985
-- COUNCIL PRESIDENT. 

3721
01:50:58,985 --> 01:51:01,321
-- FOR THE RECORD, TOMMASO 

3722
01:51:01,321 --> 01:51:01,955
JOHNSON COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF. 

3723
01:51:01,955 --> 01:51:05,058
AS IS MENTIONED, I'M GOING TO 

3724
01:51:05,058 --> 01:51:07,894
DESCRIBE AMENDMENTS A, B AND C 

3725
01:51:07,894 --> 01:51:09,129
FIRST BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO OTHER

3726
01:51:09,129 --> 01:51:12,332
AMENDMENTS. THAT IS BECAUSE 

3727
01:51:12,332 --> 01:51:13,667
AMENDMENT A CONFLICTS WITH 

3728
01:51:13,667 --> 01:51:14,534
AMENDMENT B AND C, BECAUSE OF 

3729
01:51:14,534 --> 01:51:18,838
THE WAY THAT IT IS WRITTEN. SO 

3730
01:51:18,838 --> 01:51:20,340
IF AMENDMENT A IS VOTED ON AND 

3731
01:51:20,340 --> 01:51:22,208
PASSED, THEN AMENDMENT B AND C 

3732
01:51:22,208 --> 01:51:24,044
AMENDMENTS B AND C WILL BECOME 

3733
01:51:24,044 --> 01:51:25,812
MOOT. IF AMENDMENT A FAILS, THEN

3734
01:51:25,812 --> 01:51:27,781
WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE OTHER 

3735
01:51:27,781 --> 01:51:28,982
AMENDMENTS, INCLUDING B AND C. 

3736
01:51:28,982 --> 01:51:30,784
SO FIRST OF ALL, AMENDMENT A 

3737
01:51:30,784 --> 01:51:33,586
WOULD PROHIBIT THE USE OF 

3738
01:51:33,586 --> 01:51:34,087
ALGORITHMIC-BASED PRICE 

3739
01:51:34,087 --> 01:51:35,021
DISCRIMINATION TO INCREASE THE 

3740
01:51:35,021 --> 01:51:37,190
PRICE OF CERTAIN GOODS ABOVE THE

3741
01:51:37,190 --> 01:51:38,958
BONA FIDE MARKET PRICE, RATHER 

3742
01:51:38,958 --> 01:51:40,994
THAN PROHIBIT THE MODIFICATION 

3743
01:51:40,994 --> 01:51:43,663
OF PRICE BASED ON 

3744
01:51:43,663 --> 01:51:44,164
ALGORITHMIC-BASED PRICE 

3745
01:51:44,164 --> 01:51:46,399
DISCRIMINATION, THE SPECIFIC 

3746
01:51:46,399 --> 01:51:47,000
RESTRICTIONS IN ON INCREASING 

3747
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:48,068
THE PRICE OF GOODS VARIES BY THE

3748
01:51:48,068 --> 01:51:49,969
TYPE OF RETAILER AND IS LISTED 

3749
01:51:49,969 --> 01:51:54,207
UNDER THE PROPOSED SECTION 

3750
01:51:54,207 --> 01:51:55,675
7.35.020, WHICH IS AMENDED BY 

3751
01:51:55,675 --> 01:51:58,011
THIS AMENDMENT. BECAUSE 

3752
01:51:58,011 --> 01:51:59,145
DISCOUNTS BASED ON PERSONAL 

3753
01:51:59,145 --> 01:51:59,746
INFORMATION WOULD BE ALLOWED 

3754
01:51:59,746 --> 01:52:01,081
UNDER THIS AMENDMENT, THE 

3755
01:52:01,081 --> 01:52:03,450
AMENDMENT WOULD ALSO STRIKE 

3756
01:52:03,450 --> 01:52:05,118
PROPOSED REGULATIONS RELATED TO 

3757
01:52:05,118 --> 01:52:06,586
DISCOUNTED PRICES IN THE BILL. 

3758
01:52:06,586 --> 01:52:09,022
IT WOULD REQUIRE THAT COVER 

3759
01:52:09,022 --> 01:52:09,589
COVERED RETAILERS DISCLOSE 

3760
01:52:09,589 --> 01:52:11,057
WHETHER PERSONAL INFORMATION WAS

3761
01:52:11,057 --> 01:52:12,992
USED IN SETTING ANY OF THE 

3762
01:52:12,992 --> 01:52:14,661
DISCOUNTED PRICES AVAILABLE TO 

3763
01:52:14,661 --> 01:52:17,697
THE CONSUMER, RATHER THAN THE 

3764
01:52:17,697 --> 01:52:18,298
SPECIFIC ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA 

3765
01:52:18,298 --> 01:52:19,899
AND QUALIFYING TIERS FOR 

3766
01:52:19,899 --> 01:52:21,434
DISCOUNTS. SO, SO BRIEFLY, THIS 

3767
01:52:21,434 --> 01:52:23,436
AMENDMENT WOULD SORT OF CHANGE 

3768
01:52:23,436 --> 01:52:25,138
THE FUNDAMENTAL STRUCTURE OF THE

3769
01:52:25,138 --> 01:52:28,575
BILL. THE CURRENT BILL PROHIBITS

3770
01:52:28,575 --> 01:52:30,977
ALGORITHMIC PRICE, ALGORITHMIC 

3771
01:52:30,977 --> 01:52:33,613
BASED PRICE DISCRIMINATION, AND 

3772
01:52:33,613 --> 01:52:36,683
THEN ALLOWS AN ENUMERATED SET OF

3773
01:52:36,683 --> 01:52:39,686
EXCEPTIONS TO THAT WHICH CONCERN

3774
01:52:39,686 --> 01:52:40,320
PRIMARILY THE WAY THAT DISCOUNTS

3775
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:40,920
CAN BE APPLIED, TYPES OF 

3776
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:43,156
DISCOUNTS AND HOW THEY COULD BE 

3777
01:52:43,156 --> 01:52:46,559
APPLIED. IN CONTRAST, THIS 

3778
01:52:46,559 --> 01:52:49,329
AMENDMENT WOULD BROADLY JUST 

3779
01:52:49,329 --> 01:52:51,798
DISCRIMINATE THE IT WOULD 

3780
01:52:51,798 --> 01:52:52,232
PROHIBIT THE USE OF 

3781
01:52:52,232 --> 01:52:52,732
ALGORITHMIC-BASED PRICE 

3782
01:52:52,732 --> 01:52:54,367
DISCRIMINATION FOR INCREASES. 

3783
01:52:54,367 --> 01:52:56,970
THEREFORE, IT WOULD ALSO NEED TO

3784
01:52:56,970 --> 01:52:57,570
STRIKE THE VARIOUS EXCEPTIONS 

3785
01:52:57,570 --> 01:53:01,241
THAT HAVE TO DO WITH DISCOUNTS, 

3786
01:53:01,241 --> 01:53:01,808
BECAUSE DISCOUNTS WOULD BE 

3787
01:53:01,808 --> 01:53:05,044
BROADLY ALLOWED AND WOULD NOT 

3788
01:53:05,044 --> 01:53:05,678
NEED THE ENUMERATED EXCEPTIONS 

3789
01:53:05,678 --> 01:53:08,548
TO THAT DEFINITION OF 

3790
01:53:08,548 --> 01:53:09,048
ALGORITHMIC-BASED PRICE 

3791
01:53:09,048 --> 01:53:09,415
DISCRIMINATION. 

3792
01:53:09,415 --> 01:53:11,017
-- I THINK. NOW, ARE THERE ANY 

3793
01:53:11,017 --> 01:53:11,584
QUESTIONS FOR CENTRAL STAFF 

3794
01:53:11,584 --> 01:53:13,553
BEFORE AMENDMENT A IS MOVED BY 

3795
01:53:13,553 --> 01:53:17,190
THE SPONSOR? THIS WOULD BE THE 

3796
01:53:17,190 --> 01:53:18,925
TIME NOW. 

3797
01:53:18,925 --> 01:53:20,293
-- I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO 

3798
01:53:20,293 --> 01:53:20,760
SPEAK TO THAT. THREE. 

3799
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:25,365
-- OH MY. WE'RE AT WE'RE AT 

3800
01:53:25,365 --> 01:53:31,905
EASE. MY APOLOGIES. SO TOMMASO 

3801
01:53:31,905 --> 01:53:35,508
WILL SPEAK TO ALL THREE. MY 

3802
01:53:35,508 --> 01:53:36,843
APOLOGIES. SO WE'LL SPEAK TO 

3803
01:53:36,843 --> 01:53:38,678
ALL THREE AND THEN WE'LL START 

3804
01:53:38,678 --> 01:53:41,147
TAKING QUESTIONS ABOUT A, A, B 

3805
01:53:41,147 --> 01:53:43,983
AND C ONE BY ONE. OKAY. 

3806
01:53:43,983 --> 01:53:46,386
-- THANK YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT 

3807
01:53:46,386 --> 01:53:48,655
AMENDMENT B, THIS AMENDMENT 

3808
01:53:48,655 --> 01:53:50,123
WOULD CLARIFY THAT DISCOUNTS ON 

3809
01:53:50,123 --> 01:53:51,691
GAS PRICES ARE PERMITTED UNDER 

3810
01:53:51,691 --> 01:53:53,560
THE BILL, SUBJECT TO THE 

3811
01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:56,729
REQUIREMENTS OF SUBSECTION OF 

3812
01:53:56,729 --> 01:53:59,265
SUBSECTION FIVE, C 1 OR 5 C TWO.

3813
01:53:59,265 --> 01:54:01,968
THE UNDERLYING BILL DOESN'T 

3814
01:54:01,968 --> 01:54:03,536
SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO GAS PRICE 

3815
01:54:03,536 --> 01:54:06,039
DISCOUNTS, THE KINDS OF 

3816
01:54:06,039 --> 01:54:08,308
DISCOUNTS THAT ARE APPLIED AT 

3817
01:54:08,308 --> 01:54:10,009
THE POTENTIALLY AT THE PUMP OF 

3818
01:54:10,009 --> 01:54:13,012
CERTAIN GAS STATIONS WHERE 

3819
01:54:13,012 --> 01:54:13,580
SOMEONE ENTERS IDENTIFYING 

3820
01:54:13,580 --> 01:54:15,615
INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH A 

3821
01:54:15,615 --> 01:54:16,983
GROCERY DISCOUNT LOYALTY 

3822
01:54:16,983 --> 01:54:17,684
PROGRAM, FOR EXAMPLE, AND THEN 

3823
01:54:17,684 --> 01:54:19,619
RECEIVES A DISCOUNT THERE. SO 

3824
01:54:19,619 --> 01:54:20,753
THE UNDERLYING BILL DOESN'T 

3825
01:54:20,753 --> 01:54:22,956
ADDRESS THIS. BUT THIS AMENDMENT

3826
01:54:22,956 --> 01:54:24,924
WOULD CLARIFY THAT THESE TYPES 

3827
01:54:24,924 --> 01:54:28,595
OF DISCOUNTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO 

3828
01:54:28,595 --> 01:54:29,829
TO REGULATION, OR THAT THEY ARE 

3829
01:54:29,829 --> 01:54:34,334
ALLOWED, RATHER, UNDER THE BILL.

3830
01:54:34,334 --> 01:54:35,368
-- AND WOULD YOU MIND PUTTING IT

3831
01:54:35,368 --> 01:54:38,137
UP ON THE SCREEN TOO? TOMASO? 

3832
01:54:38,137 --> 01:54:40,006
SORRY. AND THEN I KNOW WE'RE NOW

3833
01:54:40,006 --> 01:54:42,675
FOR AMENDMENT C. YOU'RE ALL 

3834
01:54:42,675 --> 01:54:42,876
GOOD. 

3835
01:54:42,876 --> 01:54:45,712
-- THERE'S BE. 

3836
01:54:45,712 --> 01:54:46,379
-- ALL RIGHT. AND THEN WE'RE ON

3837
01:54:46,379 --> 01:54:47,113
AMENDMENT C NOW. 

3838
01:54:47,113 --> 01:54:49,015
-- MOVING ON TO AMENDMENT C, 

3839
01:54:49,015 --> 01:54:50,984
THIS AMENDMENT WOULD ALLOW FOR 

3840
01:54:50,984 --> 01:54:53,019
MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR COVERED 

3841
01:54:53,019 --> 01:54:53,553
RETAILERS TO USE PERSONAL 

3842
01:54:53,553 --> 01:54:55,154
INFORMATION TO PROVIDE DISCOUNTS

3843
01:54:55,154 --> 01:54:56,923
TO CONSUMERS. IT WOULD FIRSTLY 

3844
01:54:56,923 --> 01:54:58,791
ALLOW FOR A COVERED, COVERED 

3845
01:54:58,791 --> 01:55:00,560
RETAILER TO SHARE PERSONAL 

3846
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:03,196
INFORMATION TO DETERMINE OR 

3847
01:55:03,196 --> 01:55:03,763
FACILITATE DETERMINING THE 

3848
01:55:03,763 --> 01:55:05,031
AMOUNT OR TARGETING OF 

3849
01:55:05,031 --> 01:55:07,500
MANUFACTURER OR THIRD PARTY 

3850
01:55:07,500 --> 01:55:09,068
COUPONS. SECONDLY, IT WOULD 

3851
01:55:09,068 --> 01:55:09,636
REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT THAT 

3852
01:55:09,636 --> 01:55:11,971
COVERED RETAILERS OFFER 

3853
01:55:11,971 --> 01:55:13,439
DISCOUNTS ON EQUAL TERMS TO 

3854
01:55:13,439 --> 01:55:14,874
GROUPS OF CONSUMERS. THIRDLY, IT

3855
01:55:14,874 --> 01:55:16,542
WOULD ALLOW PURCHASE HISTORY TO 

3856
01:55:16,542 --> 01:55:18,611
BE AMONG THE ELIGIBLE 

3857
01:55:18,611 --> 01:55:19,912
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR 

3858
01:55:19,912 --> 01:55:21,748
DISCOUNTS OFFERED TO ALL 

3859
01:55:21,748 --> 01:55:22,282
CONSUMERS AND REMOVE THE 

3860
01:55:22,282 --> 01:55:24,183
REQUIREMENT THAT THESE DISCOUNTS

3861
01:55:24,183 --> 01:55:25,451
MUST BE ONES THAT ANY CONSUMER 

3862
01:55:25,451 --> 01:55:27,287
COULD POTENTIALLY BE ELIGIBLE 

3863
01:55:27,287 --> 01:55:28,621
FOR. AND FINALLY, IT WOULD ALLOW

3864
01:55:28,621 --> 01:55:30,290
FOR DISCOUNTS OFFERED TO SUBSETS

3865
01:55:30,290 --> 01:55:33,660
OF LOYALTY PROGRAM MEMBERS TO BE

3866
01:55:33,660 --> 01:55:35,061
BASED ON, QUOTE, UNQUOTE, 

3867
01:55:35,061 --> 01:55:36,496
PRIMARILY ON PURCHASE HISTORY, 

3868
01:55:36,496 --> 01:55:38,898
BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY ON PURCHASE 

3869
01:55:38,898 --> 01:55:39,499
HISTORY WITHOUT PARAMETERS ON 

3870
01:55:39,499 --> 01:55:40,767
THE USE OF PURCHASE HISTORY OR 

3871
01:55:40,767 --> 01:55:42,568
PERSONAL INFORMATION. AND THAT 

3872
01:55:42,568 --> 01:55:45,605
IS AMENDMENT C. 

3873
01:55:45,605 --> 01:55:49,809
-- ALL RIGHT, COLLEAGUES, SO ARE

3874
01:55:49,809 --> 01:55:51,444
THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CENTRAL 

3875
01:55:51,444 --> 01:55:53,079
STAFF? SO WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT 

3876
01:55:53,079 --> 01:55:55,014
AMENDMENT A FIRST. SO IF WE GO 

3877
01:55:55,014 --> 01:55:57,951
BACK TO PUT AMENDMENT A UP, ARE 

3878
01:55:57,951 --> 01:55:59,018
THERE PARDON ME. 

3879
01:55:59,018 --> 01:55:59,485
-- SHOULD I MOVE IT. 

3880
01:55:59,485 --> 01:56:02,021
-- WE DON'T NEED TO MOVE IT. AM

3881
01:56:02,021 --> 01:56:03,022
I NOT YET. BECAUSE WE'RE GOING 

3882
01:56:03,022 --> 01:56:04,057
TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AND 

3883
01:56:04,057 --> 01:56:05,792
THEN WE'LL MOVE IT. WE'LL HAVE

3884
01:56:05,792 --> 01:56:06,392
YOU ADDRESS IT COUNCILMEMBER 

3885
01:56:06,392 --> 01:56:07,193
KETTLE AND THEN WE'LL MOVE 

3886
01:56:07,193 --> 01:56:09,395
FORWARD. SO ARE THERE ANY 

3887
01:56:09,395 --> 01:56:12,065
QUESTIONS REGARDING AMENDMENT A 

3888
01:56:12,065 --> 01:56:13,032
BEFORE I ASK THE SPONSOR TO MOVE

3889
01:56:13,032 --> 01:56:15,101
IT? AND I BELIEVE THAT. 

3890
01:56:15,101 --> 01:56:15,702
COUNCILMEMBER RINCK YOU WERE 

3891
01:56:15,702 --> 01:56:16,970
FIRST AND THEN. COUNCILMEMBER 

3892
01:56:16,970 --> 01:56:21,207
RIVERA WAS SECOND. WE HAD IT 

3893
01:56:21,207 --> 01:56:21,841
LAST TIME. COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. 

3894
01:56:21,841 --> 01:56:23,176
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

3895
01:56:23,176 --> 01:56:25,745
AND THANK YOU FOR THE OVERVIEW. 

3896
01:56:25,745 --> 01:56:27,914
TOMMASO. SO THIS AMENDMENT WOULD

3897
01:56:27,914 --> 01:56:30,350
PERMIT DISCOUNTS BASED ON 

3898
01:56:30,350 --> 01:56:33,019
PERSONAL INFORMATION. SO SUPPOSE

3899
01:56:33,019 --> 01:56:35,722
AN ITEM HAS A LEGITIMATE 

3900
01:56:35,722 --> 01:56:38,324
ADVERTISED PRICE OF $10 AND AN 

3901
01:56:38,324 --> 01:56:38,825
ALGORITHM USES PERSONAL 

3902
01:56:38,825 --> 01:56:41,094
INFORMATION TO GIVE ONE SHOPPER 

3903
01:56:41,094 --> 01:56:43,696
$3 OFF. AND ANOTHER SHOPPER ONLY

3904
01:56:43,696 --> 01:56:46,332
$1 OFF WOULD BOTH PRICES BE 

3905
01:56:46,332 --> 01:56:51,037
PERMITTED UNDER THIS AMENDMENT? 

3906
01:56:51,037 --> 01:56:52,105
-- YES, WE BELIEVE THAT THEY 

3907
01:56:52,105 --> 01:56:55,575
WOULD BE, BECAUSE THE AMENDMENT 

3908
01:56:55,575 --> 01:56:56,109
WOULD ONLY REGULATE PRICE 

3909
01:56:56,109 --> 01:56:59,212
INCREASES. SO IF THE. THE 

3910
01:56:59,212 --> 01:57:00,346
EXAMPLE THAT YOU CITED, IF THE 

3911
01:57:00,346 --> 01:57:01,481
BONA FIDE MARKET PRICE, WHICH IS

3912
01:57:01,481 --> 01:57:03,349
THE TERM THAT THE BILL AND THE 

3913
01:57:03,349 --> 01:57:04,450
AMENDMENT USES, IF THAT BONA 

3914
01:57:04,450 --> 01:57:06,953
FIDE MARKET PRICE WAS DETERMINED

3915
01:57:06,953 --> 01:57:10,490
TO BE $10 AND THEN A DISCOUNT OF

3916
01:57:10,490 --> 01:57:11,657
$3 WAS GIVEN TO ONE CUSTOMER AND

3917
01:57:11,657 --> 01:57:13,059
A DISCOUNT OF ONE WAS GIVEN TO 

3918
01:57:13,059 --> 01:57:14,761
THE OTHER. NEITHER OF THOSE 

3919
01:57:14,761 --> 01:57:16,095
WOULD BE CONSIDERED PRICE 

3920
01:57:16,095 --> 01:57:17,263
INCREASES, SO BOTH OF THOSE 

3921
01:57:17,263 --> 01:57:19,298
WOULD BE ALLOWED. 

3922
01:57:19,298 --> 01:57:19,866
-- THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING 

3923
01:57:19,866 --> 01:57:21,868
THAT. SO HOW DOES THIS AMENDMENT

3924
01:57:21,868 --> 01:57:24,337
PROTECT THE SHOPPER PAYING $9 

3925
01:57:24,337 --> 01:57:25,505
FROM BEING CHARGED MORE BECAUSE 

3926
01:57:25,505 --> 01:57:29,108
OF THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION? 

3927
01:57:29,108 --> 01:57:32,078
-- IT DOES NOT WOULD NOT COMMENT

3928
01:57:32,078 --> 01:57:35,014
ON THAT. IT WOULD ALLOW THAT 

3929
01:57:35,014 --> 01:57:35,281
PRACTICE. 

3930
01:57:35,281 --> 01:57:37,683
-- THANK YOU. AND YOU MENTIONED 

3931
01:57:37,683 --> 01:57:39,986
THE BONA FIDE MARKET PRICE AND 

3932
01:57:39,986 --> 01:57:41,821
THIS AMENDMENT USES BONA FIDE 

3933
01:57:41,821 --> 01:57:43,556
MARKET PRICE AS A BENCHMARK. HOW

3934
01:57:43,556 --> 01:57:45,525
WOULD A CONSUMER OR THE CITY 

3935
01:57:45,525 --> 01:57:46,459
ESTIMATE THAT PRICE AND WHAT 

3936
01:57:46,459 --> 01:57:48,694
LANGUAGE IN THIS AMENDMENT 

3937
01:57:48,694 --> 01:57:50,496
PREVENTS A RETAILER FROM RAISING

3938
01:57:50,496 --> 01:57:54,200
ITS STARTING PRICE BEFORE 

3939
01:57:54,200 --> 01:57:54,834
OFFERING PERSONALIZED DISCOUNTS?

3940
01:57:54,834 --> 01:57:56,803
-- SO A BONA FIDE MARKET PRICE 

3941
01:57:56,803 --> 01:57:58,704
IS A IS A TERM OF ART THAT'S 

3942
01:57:58,704 --> 01:58:00,406
DEFINED BY THE BILL. IT'S 

3943
01:58:00,406 --> 01:58:02,008
DEFINED AS THE PRICE AT WHICH A 

3944
01:58:02,008 --> 01:58:03,843
CONSUMER OR CONSUMER, CONSUMER 

3945
01:58:03,843 --> 01:58:05,445
GOODS OR SERVICES ADVERTISED TO 

3946
01:58:05,445 --> 01:58:08,614
THE PUBLIC ON A REGULAR BASIS BY

3947
01:58:08,614 --> 01:58:10,349
THE RETAILER FOR A REASONABLY 

3948
01:58:10,349 --> 01:58:12,652
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME. 

3949
01:58:12,652 --> 01:58:15,621
THOSE TERMS ARE NOT FURTHER 

3950
01:58:15,621 --> 01:58:17,256
DEFINED. IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING

3951
01:58:17,256 --> 01:58:19,525
THAT THIS DEFINITION, THIS TERM 

3952
01:58:19,525 --> 01:58:22,328
AND THE WAY THAT IT'S DEFINED 

3953
01:58:22,328 --> 01:58:23,696
IS, WAS DRAFTED BY THE MAYOR'S 

3954
01:58:23,696 --> 01:58:25,731
OFFICE AND IS INTENDED TO BE 

3955
01:58:25,731 --> 01:58:27,667
ALIGNED WITH TERMINOLOGY USED BY

3956
01:58:27,667 --> 01:58:32,104
THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION IN 

3957
01:58:32,104 --> 01:58:32,705
RULEMAKING. SO I WOULD EXPECT 

3958
01:58:32,705 --> 01:58:34,640
THAT AS THIS BILL, IF THIS BILL 

3959
01:58:34,640 --> 01:58:36,976
IS PASSED AND AS THIS IS 

3960
01:58:36,976 --> 01:58:39,078
IMPLEMENTED, THAT TERM WOULD BE 

3961
01:58:39,078 --> 01:58:43,049
DEFINED BOTH LIKELY LOOKING TO 

3962
01:58:43,049 --> 01:58:44,784
EXISTING FEDERAL LAW 

3963
01:58:44,784 --> 01:58:46,552
DEFINITIONS. THERE WOULD BE 

3964
01:58:46,552 --> 01:58:47,854
RULEMAKING BY THE ADMINISTERING 

3965
01:58:47,854 --> 01:58:50,490
AGENCY THAT WOULD SET THAT OUT. 

3966
01:58:50,490 --> 01:58:53,126
AND THEN, OF COURSE, IF THERE 

3967
01:58:53,126 --> 01:58:53,693
ARE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND 

3968
01:58:53,693 --> 01:58:54,760
THOSE ACTIONS ARE CHALLENGED IN 

3969
01:58:54,760 --> 01:58:56,195
COURT, THEN THAT THAT TERM WILL 

3970
01:58:56,195 --> 01:58:58,197
BE FURTHER CLARIFIED IN THE 

3971
01:58:58,197 --> 01:59:00,066
COURT PROCEEDINGS. 

3972
01:59:00,066 --> 01:59:01,033
-- THANK YOU. AND MY LAST 

3973
01:59:01,033 --> 01:59:02,735
QUESTION, JUST ON THE MECHANICS 

3974
01:59:02,735 --> 01:59:04,370
AND WHAT THIS AMENDMENT WOULD DO

3975
01:59:04,370 --> 01:59:06,005
TO THE UNDERLYING LEGISLATION 

3976
01:59:06,005 --> 01:59:07,473
AND THE POLICY WE'RE WORKING 

3977
01:59:07,473 --> 01:59:09,375
TOWARDS. SO THIS AMENDMENT WOULD

3978
01:59:09,375 --> 01:59:11,811
REPLACE DISCLOSURE OF DISCOUNT 

3979
01:59:11,811 --> 01:59:12,411
ELIGIBILITY AND TIER CRITERIA 

3980
01:59:12,411 --> 01:59:13,779
WITH DISCLOSURE OF WHETHER 

3981
01:59:13,779 --> 01:59:14,881
PERSONAL INFORMATION WAS USED. 

3982
01:59:14,881 --> 01:59:17,817
WITH THAT IN MIND, HOW WOULD A 

3983
01:59:17,817 --> 01:59:19,452
SHOPPER UNDERSTAND WHY THEY 

3984
01:59:19,452 --> 01:59:21,521
RECEIVED A SMALLER DISCOUNT OR 

3985
01:59:21,521 --> 01:59:23,689
IDENTIFY A POTENTIAL VIOLATION 

3986
01:59:23,689 --> 01:59:29,762
FROM THAT DISCLOSURE ALONE 

3987
01:59:29,762 --> 01:59:30,429
-- THEY WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE

3988
01:59:30,429 --> 01:59:33,533
ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE THE BEHIND 

3989
01:59:33,533 --> 01:59:35,568
THE SCENES MECHANISM THROUGH 

3990
01:59:35,568 --> 01:59:36,969
WHICH THEY WERE SELECTED OR NOT 

3991
01:59:36,969 --> 01:59:38,371
SELECTED FOR A DISCOUNT. THE 

3992
01:59:38,371 --> 01:59:39,071
DISCLOSURE WOULD SIMPLY BE THAT 

3993
01:59:39,071 --> 01:59:40,773
IT WAS. IT WOULD BE THAT THE 

3994
01:59:40,773 --> 01:59:43,342
PERSONAL INFORMATION WAS USED. 

3995
01:59:43,342 --> 01:59:44,010
-- UNDERSTOOD WOULD STILL BE IN 

3996
01:59:44,010 --> 01:59:45,211
THAT BLACK BOX. WE WOULDN'T KNOW

3997
01:59:45,211 --> 01:59:46,812
FOR CERTAIN. 

3998
01:59:46,812 --> 01:59:48,514
-- THAT. YEAH, THE BILL WOULD 

3999
01:59:48,514 --> 01:59:50,116
WOULDN'T CHANGE, WOULDN'T 

4000
01:59:50,116 --> 01:59:51,784
CHANGE THAT. IT WOULD SIMPLY 

4001
01:59:51,784 --> 01:59:53,252
REQUIRE THE DISCLOSURE OF THAT 

4002
01:59:53,252 --> 01:59:53,886
PERSONAL, PERSONAL INFORMATION 

4003
01:59:53,886 --> 01:59:55,454
WAS USED TO SET THE PRICE. 

4004
01:59:55,454 --> 01:59:56,022
-- THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING 

4005
01:59:56,022 --> 01:59:57,924
THAT, THOMAS. THANK YOU. COUNCIL

4017
02:00:17,777 --> 02:00:18,244
-- YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 

4018

-- THANK YOU. 

4021
02:00:21,213 --> 02:00:23,316
-- ONE ONE. ONE SECOND. CAN I 

4022
02:00:23,316 --> 02:00:25,017

TABLE AND. THAT'S GOOD. OKAY. 

4030
02:01:35,087 --> 02:01:35,521
-- WE HAVE RETURNED. I 

4031
02:01:35,521 --> 02:01:36,288
APOLOGIZE, SO I HAVE TO 

4032
02:01:36,288 --> 02:01:37,790
APOLOGIZE AT COUNCILMEMBER 

4033
02:01:37,790 --> 02:01:39,492
KETTLE BECAUSE I SHOULD HAVE LET

THE QUESTIONS THAT WE TOOK WERE 

4035
02:01:41,260 --> 02:01:44,330
ABOUT THE POLICY DISCUSSION. AND

4036
02:01:44,330 --> 02:01:46,098
THIS. WHEN I ALLOWED 

4037

COUNCILMEMBERS TO SPEAK IN NO 

4038
02:01:47,033 --> 02:01:50,836
FAULT OF ANY COUNCILMEMBER, THE 

4039

BEEN ASKED WERE ABOUT THE HOW A,

4041
02:01:54,006 --> 02:01:56,642
B, AND C INTERACT. AND SO I JUST

4042
02:01:56,642 --> 02:01:57,543
WENT STRAIGHT TO THE POLICY 

4043
02:01:57,543 --> 02:01:58,544
DISCUSSION, SO I APOLOGIZE. THAT

4044
02:01:58,544 --> 02:02:02,014

WITH B AND C, HOW IT'S MUTUALLY

4052
02:02:16,362 --> 02:02:18,331
EXCLUSIVE? OKAY. SO NOW I'M

NUMBER OF WEEKS. IT GOES ACROSS 

4079
02:03:05,644 --> 02:03:07,713
THE SPECTRUM FROM TALKING TO A 

4080
02:03:07,713 --> 02:03:10,249
LOCAL SMALL SCALE GROCER LAST 

4081

4082
02:03:12,084 --> 02:03:13,886
CHALLENGES HIS STORE FACES IN 

4083
02:03:13,886 --> 02:03:15,287
THE INDUSTRY, BUT ALSO WITH THE 

4084
02:03:15,287 --> 02:03:17,456
TARIFFS AND THE IRAN WAR FUELED 

4085

4089
02:03:27,433 --> 02:03:28,400
APPRECIATE IT. AND AND I ALSO 

4090
02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:31,604

4091
02:03:31,604 --> 02:03:32,838
ENTIRE UFCW TEAM THAT'S HERE 

4092
02:03:32,838 --> 02:03:34,173
TODAY. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE 

4093
02:03:34,173 --> 02:03:38,477
AND AND I DON'T KNOW, 

4094
02:03:38,477 --> 02:03:39,078
CONSIDERING HOW MUCH TIMES MY 

4095
02:03:39,078 --> 02:03:40,312
NAME WAS MENTIONED, AM I THE 

4096
02:03:40,312 --> 02:03:43,482
MOST POPULAR COUNCILMEMBER? 

4097
02:03:43,482 --> 02:03:46,986
OKAY, MAYBE NOT. I DON'T KNOW I

4098
02:03:46,986 --> 02:03:48,654
RECOGNIZE, BY THE WAY, I 

4099
02:03:48,654 --> 02:03:50,122
RECOGNIZE THIS BILL WILL PASS 

4100
02:03:50,122 --> 02:03:52,725
AND SOME, IF NOT ALL OF THE 

4101
02:03:52,725 --> 02:03:53,893
AMENDMENTS WILL FAIL. MY 

4102
02:03:53,893 --> 02:03:55,294
AMENDMENTS ARE PRESENTED FROM A 

4103
02:03:55,294 --> 02:03:58,564
PLACE OF CARE AND CONCERN FOR 

4104
02:03:58,564 --> 02:03:59,832
AFFORDABILITY FOR THOSE LEAST 

4105
02:03:59,832 --> 02:04:04,336
ABLE TO AFFORD IT. THIS CARE AND

4106
02:04:04,336 --> 02:04:06,872
CONCERN IS BORN FROM BEING THE 

4107
02:04:06,872 --> 02:04:08,374
FIRSTBORN OF FOUR OF IMMIGRANT 

4108
02:04:08,374 --> 02:04:10,009
PARENTS. I REMEMBER HELPING MY 

4109
02:04:10,009 --> 02:04:12,545
MOM AT HER GROCERY STORE 

4110
02:04:12,545 --> 02:04:15,548
DIFFICULT, WATCHING HOW COUPONS 

4111
02:04:15,548 --> 02:04:17,316
MADE A DIFFERENCE FROM BEING A 

4112
02:04:17,316 --> 02:04:18,851
GROCERY STORE CLERK MYSELF. 

4113
02:04:18,851 --> 02:04:19,518
AFTER MY LONG CAREER AS A PAPER 

4114
02:04:19,518 --> 02:04:23,989
BOY WHEN I WAS A YOUNG ADULT TO 

4115
02:04:23,989 --> 02:04:25,791
MOST RECENTLY AND JUST BEFORE 

4116
02:04:25,791 --> 02:04:26,692
BECOMING A COUNCILMEMBER, 

4117
02:04:26,692 --> 02:04:28,260
BECOMING A STAY AT HOME DAD, 

4118
02:04:28,260 --> 02:04:29,462
WHERE EACH AND EVERY WEEK I 

4119
02:04:29,462 --> 02:04:31,564
WOULD GO TO DIFFERENT GROCERY 

4120
02:04:31,564 --> 02:04:33,032
STORES. I DO COME FROM AN AREA 

4121
02:04:33,032 --> 02:04:34,200
WHERE WE ARE DEFINITELY NOT IN A

4122
02:04:34,200 --> 02:04:35,501
DESERT. IT'S. IN FACT, IT'S 

4123
02:04:35,501 --> 02:04:36,735
LIKE NOAH'S ARK OF GROCERY 

4124
02:04:36,735 --> 02:04:39,405
STORES. THERE'S TWO REPRESENTED

4125
02:04:39,405 --> 02:04:40,840
WITHIN A RELATIVELY SHORT 

4126
02:04:40,840 --> 02:04:43,609
DISTANCE, BUT I WOULD GO TO EACH

4127
02:04:43,609 --> 02:04:44,910
OF THESE GROCERY STORES, SEEING 

4128
02:04:44,910 --> 02:04:47,546
WHERE THE SALES WERE, HOW 

4129
02:04:47,546 --> 02:04:48,147
LOYALTY PROGRAMS HELPED WHEN 

4130
02:04:48,147 --> 02:04:50,115
PAYING FOR GROCERIES, BUT ALSO 

4131
02:04:50,115 --> 02:04:55,054
LATER FOR WHEN BUYING GAS. AND 

4132
02:04:55,054 --> 02:04:55,621
THIS INCLUDES, BY THE WAY, 

4133
02:04:55,621 --> 02:04:56,589
SEEING HOW THE PANDEMIC AND NOW 

4134
02:04:56,589 --> 02:04:58,824
HOW THE ACTIONS OF THE TRUMP 

4135
02:04:58,824 --> 02:05:00,392
ADMINISTRATION THAT RISES, THE 

4136
02:05:00,392 --> 02:05:03,362
RAISES, THE COST OF GROCERIES. 

4137
02:05:03,362 --> 02:05:06,398
AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS POINT 

4138
02:05:06,398 --> 02:05:06,999
TWO. I PARTICULARLY WITH THE 

4139
02:05:06,999 --> 02:05:09,101
PANDEMIC, AGAIN, I THANK 

4140
02:05:09,101 --> 02:05:11,103
EVERYONE WHO UFCW 3000 WHO WAS 

4141
02:05:11,103 --> 02:05:11,904
WORKING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC, 

4142
02:05:11,904 --> 02:05:13,672
WHO'S BEEN WORKING THROUGH 

4143
02:05:13,672 --> 02:05:15,541
THESE CHALLENGING AREAS, TIME 

4144
02:05:15,541 --> 02:05:17,543
PERIODS, IT'S IT IS A SERVICE. 

4145
02:05:17,543 --> 02:05:19,612
IT IS A PUBLIC SERVICE IN 

4146
02:05:19,612 --> 02:05:20,512
ITSELF. AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY

4147
02:05:20,512 --> 02:05:25,084
THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND TODAY, 

4148
02:05:25,084 --> 02:05:27,853
MY CONCERNS ON AFFORDABILITY AND

4149
02:05:27,853 --> 02:05:29,388
SPECIFICALLY HOW GOVERNMENT 

4150
02:05:29,388 --> 02:05:30,022
IMPACTS AFFORDABILITY, WHETHER 

4151
02:05:30,022 --> 02:05:32,524
IT'S THROUGH SALES TAXES OR 

4152
02:05:32,524 --> 02:05:34,326
PROPERTY TAXES, UTILITY RATES, 

4153
02:05:34,326 --> 02:05:36,495
WHICH ARE GOING UP AND UP LIKE 

4154
02:05:36,495 --> 02:05:38,864
THE OTHERS, BUT ALSO REGULATION.

4155
02:05:38,864 --> 02:05:41,867
AND THIS IS WHAT DRIVES MY 

4156
02:05:41,867 --> 02:05:43,135
AMENDMENTS. AND I RECOGNIZE, 

4157
02:05:43,135 --> 02:05:49,475
AGAIN, THAT MY COLLEAGUES ARE IN

4158
02:05:49,475 --> 02:05:50,409
OPPOSITION, BUT, YOU KNOW, AS I 

4159
02:05:50,409 --> 02:05:52,845
THINK ABOUT IT, YOU CAN REQUIRE 

4160
02:05:52,845 --> 02:05:54,480
A DISCOUNT TO BE AVAILABLE TO 

4161
02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:56,248
EVERYONE, BUT THEN YOU CAN'T 

4162
02:05:56,248 --> 02:05:58,050
REQUIRE A BUSINESS TO KEEP 

4163
02:05:58,050 --> 02:06:00,519
OFFERING THAT DISCOUNT. AND 

4164
02:06:00,519 --> 02:06:02,454
SIMPLY ASSUMING THE DISCOUNTS 

4165
02:06:02,454 --> 02:06:03,022
GETS REDISTRIBUTED. IT'S 

4166
02:06:03,022 --> 02:06:04,924
ACTUALLY MORE LIKELY THAT THE 

4167
02:06:04,924 --> 02:06:06,992
DISCOUNT WILL DISAPPEAR, MAKING 

4168
02:06:06,992 --> 02:06:08,427
IT HARDER ON THE MOST VULNERABLE

4169
02:06:08,427 --> 02:06:11,764
IN TERMS OF THE AFFORDABILITY 

4170
02:06:11,764 --> 02:06:13,465
PIECE. AND THAT'S DRIVING MY 

4171
02:06:13,465 --> 02:06:17,269
CONCERN WITH AMENDMENT A, AND IN

4172
02:06:17,269 --> 02:06:17,903
GENERAL, THIS, MY INTRODUCTION 

4173
02:06:17,903 --> 02:06:19,738
HERE GOES FOR ALL MY AMENDMENTS.

4174
02:06:19,738 --> 02:06:20,973
AND THAT IS THE PLACE FROM WHERE

4175
02:06:20,973 --> 02:06:22,975
IT'S COMING. AND AND 

4176
02:06:22,975 --> 02:06:24,310
COLLEAGUES, I ASK FOR YOUR 

4177
02:06:24,310 --> 02:06:27,947
SUPPORT FOR AMENDMENT A. 

4178
02:06:27,947 --> 02:06:28,514
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

4179
02:06:28,514 --> 02:06:29,348
KETTLE COLLEAGUES, NOW WE CAN 

4180
02:06:29,348 --> 02:06:30,316
HAVE THE POLICY DISCUSSION. I 

4181
02:06:30,316 --> 02:06:31,750
APOLOGIZE. SO COUNCILMEMBER 

4182
02:06:31,750 --> 02:06:32,818
RINCK I WILL PASS IT TO YOU IF 

4183
02:06:32,818 --> 02:06:33,953
YOU HAD ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS,

4184
02:06:33,953 --> 02:06:36,622
AND THEN WE'LL GO TO 

4185
02:06:36,622 --> 02:06:37,089
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. 

4186
02:06:37,089 --> 02:06:38,257
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

4187
02:06:38,257 --> 02:06:40,693
NO ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP 

4188
02:06:40,693 --> 02:06:41,660
QUESTIONS. I FELT IT WAS 

4189
02:06:41,660 --> 02:06:42,861
IMPORTANT TO ASK SOME OF THE 

4190
02:06:42,861 --> 02:06:44,797
POINTS JUST ON THE POLICY, 

4191
02:06:44,797 --> 02:06:45,864
PARTICULARLY WHAT IT WOULD MEAN 

4192
02:06:45,864 --> 02:06:49,234
IF THIS AMENDMENT WAS APPROVED 

4193
02:06:49,234 --> 02:06:50,836
FOR, ULTIMATELY, THE USE OF DATA

4194
02:06:50,836 --> 02:06:52,638
FOR PERSONALIZED DISCOUNTS. AND 

4195
02:06:52,638 --> 02:06:54,106
GIVEN THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY 

4196
02:06:54,106 --> 02:06:55,341
OF SEEING INTO THAT BLACK BOX, I

4197
02:06:55,341 --> 02:06:56,709
REMAIN CONCERNED THAT THIS WOULD

4198
02:06:56,709 --> 02:06:58,978
CREATE A LOOPHOLE IN THE POLICY 

4199
02:06:58,978 --> 02:07:00,079
AND UNDERMINE OUR LARGER EFFORTS

4200
02:07:00,079 --> 02:07:01,213
HERE. AND SO I ASK FOR A NO 

4201
02:07:01,213 --> 02:07:02,314
VOTE. THANK YOU. 

4202
02:07:02,314 --> 02:07:03,816
-- ALL RIGHT. AWESOME. THANK 

4203
02:07:03,816 --> 02:07:04,483
YOU, COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. CAN IT

4204
02:07:04,483 --> 02:07:05,284
BE A WHITE BOX INSTEAD OF A 

4205
02:07:05,284 --> 02:07:09,321
BLACK? I'M JUST PLAYING. ALL 

4206
02:07:09,321 --> 02:07:09,922
RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. 

4207
02:07:09,922 --> 02:07:12,391
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT 

4208
02:07:12,391 --> 02:07:16,628
AND THANK YOU, COLLEAGUES, FOR 

4209
02:07:16,628 --> 02:07:18,063
WHAT IS. I'M GOING TO 

4210
02:07:18,063 --> 02:07:19,198
PROPHYLACTICALLY. THANK YOU FOR 

4211
02:07:19,198 --> 02:07:20,966
WHAT I THINK WILL BE A ROBUST 

4212
02:07:20,966 --> 02:07:22,901
CONVERSATION, WHICH I THINK IS 

4213
02:07:22,901 --> 02:07:24,403
APPROPRIATE. I WANT TO ALSO 

4214
02:07:24,403 --> 02:07:32,411
THANK UFCW FOR ENGAGING WITH ME 

4215
02:07:32,411 --> 02:07:32,978
EARLIER ON ON THIS PIECE OF 

4216
02:07:32,978 --> 02:07:35,280
LEGISLATION. I JUST I WANT TO 

4217
02:07:35,280 --> 02:07:37,383
ADDRESS THE LEGISLATION, AND 

4218
02:07:37,383 --> 02:07:38,717
THEN I, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT 

4219
02:07:38,717 --> 02:07:45,257
AMENDMENT A, BUT I, I FEEL AS 

4220
02:07:45,257 --> 02:07:45,858
THOUGH THIS LEGISLATION COULD 

4221
02:07:45,858 --> 02:07:47,826
HAVE USED MORE TIME. THIS IS 

4222
02:07:47,826 --> 02:07:54,867
SOMETHING THAT I I TALKED ABOUT 

4223
02:07:54,867 --> 02:07:58,003
WITH WITH OUR PARTNERS, WITH 

4224
02:07:58,003 --> 02:08:01,673
UFCW W EARLY ON, I THINK THAT I 

4225
02:08:01,673 --> 02:08:07,012
SUPPORT BANNING ALGORITHMIC 

4226
02:08:07,012 --> 02:08:09,782
PRICING. HOWEVER, I'M CONCERNED

4227
02:08:09,782 --> 02:08:10,949
ABOUT THESE LOYALTY PROGRAMS 

4228
02:08:10,949 --> 02:08:13,452
BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO RELY

4229
02:08:13,452 --> 02:08:15,954
ON THE LOYALTY PROGRAMS, AND 

4230
02:08:15,954 --> 02:08:16,555
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE 

4231
02:08:16,555 --> 02:08:17,689
LEGISLATION TODAY WILL ACTUALLY 

4232
02:08:17,689 --> 02:08:19,658
HAVE AN IMPACT ON THOSE 

4233
02:08:19,658 --> 02:08:22,795
PROGRAMS. AND I FELT LIKE MORE 

4234
02:08:22,795 --> 02:08:25,397
TIME COULD HAVE BEEN BENEFICIAL 

4235
02:08:25,397 --> 02:08:28,667
TO ENSURE THAT WE WERE CLEAR 

4236
02:08:28,667 --> 02:08:29,935
THAT WHATEVER WE WERE GOING TO 

4237
02:08:29,935 --> 02:08:32,004
DO WASN'T GOING TO HAVE IMPACT 

4238
02:08:32,004 --> 02:08:36,175
ON THAT LOYALTY PROGRAM. THIS 

4239
02:08:36,175 --> 02:08:38,043
PARTICULAR. SO SO I'LL JUST SAY

4240
02:08:38,043 --> 02:08:40,112
THAT, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE 

4241
02:08:40,112 --> 02:08:43,048
SOMETIMES I JUST FEEL LIKE WHEN 

4242
02:08:43,048 --> 02:08:46,018
WE GO QUICKLY, WE WIND UP HAVING

4243
02:08:46,018 --> 02:08:46,652
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES ON THE 

4244
02:08:46,652 --> 02:08:47,853
BACK END. AND I DON'T THINK THAT

4245
02:08:47,853 --> 02:08:49,721
HELPS ANYONE, PARTICULARLY 

4246
02:08:49,721 --> 02:08:51,690
BECAUSE FOLKS KEEP COMING TO 

4247
02:08:51,690 --> 02:08:53,659
CHAMBERS, NOT JUST ABOUT THIS 

4248
02:08:53,659 --> 02:08:54,693
LEGISLATION, BUT WRIT LARGE. 

4249
02:08:54,693 --> 02:08:57,029
TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABILITY. AND

4250
02:08:57,029 --> 02:09:02,801
EVERY TIME WE PASS A ORDINANCE, 

4251
02:09:02,801 --> 02:09:04,770
YOU KNOW, IT HAS IMPACTS ON 

4252
02:09:04,770 --> 02:09:07,272
FOLKS. SOMETIMES UNINTENDED 

4253
02:09:07,272 --> 02:09:09,041
CONSEQUENCES. AND SOMETIMES THEY

4254
02:09:09,041 --> 02:09:11,477
HAVE LED TO WHETHER IT BE THIS 

4255
02:09:11,477 --> 02:09:16,849
COUNCIL OR PRIOR COUNCILS HAS 

4256
02:09:16,849 --> 02:09:19,785
RESULTED IN THINGS INCREASING 

4257
02:09:19,785 --> 02:09:21,954
FOR FOLKS IN THE CITY. IT IS A 

4258
02:09:21,954 --> 02:09:23,455
VERY EXPENSIVE CITY. AND SO 

4259
02:09:23,455 --> 02:09:25,557
WE'RE ALL GRAPPLING WITH THIS 

4260
02:09:25,557 --> 02:09:26,992
AFFORDABILITY PIECE. AND I THINK

4261
02:09:26,992 --> 02:09:29,294
SOMETIMES, THOUGH WE MIGHT BE 

4262
02:09:29,294 --> 02:09:31,530
WELL MEANING THE THE THINGS THAT

4263
02:09:31,530 --> 02:09:34,533
WE DO DO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THAT 

4264
02:09:34,533 --> 02:09:35,267
AFFORDABILITY PIECE. AND OF 

4265
02:09:35,267 --> 02:09:38,070
COURSE, LOW INCOME FOLKS BEAR 

4266
02:09:38,070 --> 02:09:40,472
THE BRUNT OF THAT AFFORDABILITY 

4267
02:09:40,472 --> 02:09:42,741
PIECE. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY 

4268
02:09:42,741 --> 02:09:45,744
THAT OUT OF THE GATE, THIS 

4269
02:09:45,744 --> 02:09:46,211
PARTICULAR AMENDMENT, 

4270
02:09:46,211 --> 02:09:48,380
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, I 

4271
02:09:48,380 --> 02:09:53,252
UNDERSTAND AND TOMMASO, I, I 

4272
02:09:53,252 --> 02:09:53,852
DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND. 

4273
02:09:53,852 --> 02:09:55,654
APOLOGIES FOR HOW YOU ANSWERED 

4274
02:09:55,654 --> 02:09:57,789
THE QUESTION. COUNCILMEMBER 

4275
02:09:57,789 --> 02:10:00,392
RINCK ASKED, BUT MY 

4276
02:10:00,392 --> 02:10:01,026
UNDERSTANDING OF THIS AMENDMENT 

4277
02:10:01,026 --> 02:10:03,996
IS THAT IT WOULD PROHIBIT 

4278
02:10:03,996 --> 02:10:06,698
ALGORITHMIC PRICING IN TERMS OF 

4279
02:10:06,698 --> 02:10:11,570
INCREASING THE PRICE OF A GOOD. 

4280
02:10:11,570 --> 02:10:12,204
BUT IT WOULD STILL ALLOW THOSE 

4281
02:10:12,204 --> 02:10:12,871
LOYALTY PROGRAMS WHERE YOU SIGN 

4282
02:10:12,871 --> 02:10:14,940
UP AND THEN YOU GET THE LOYALTY 

4283
02:10:14,940 --> 02:10:17,943
PROGRAM PRICE, WHICH, YOU KNOW, 

4284
02:10:17,943 --> 02:10:20,345
YOU GO INTO QFC OR SAFEWAY AND 

4285
02:10:20,345 --> 02:10:22,147
YOU HAVE TWO PRICES. YOU HAVE 

4286
02:10:22,147 --> 02:10:23,682
THE NONMEMBER PRICE AND THE 

4287
02:10:23,682 --> 02:10:26,752
MEMBER PRICE, BASICALLY. AND YOU

4288
02:10:26,752 --> 02:10:28,453
DON'T USUALLY HAVE, DEPENDING ON

4289
02:10:28,453 --> 02:10:31,790
WHO, WHO SHOWS UP AT QFC. 

4290
02:10:31,790 --> 02:10:33,659
EVERYBODY GETS THAT MEMBER 

4291
02:10:33,659 --> 02:10:35,494
PRICE. IF YOU SIGNED UP FOR THE 

4292
02:10:35,494 --> 02:10:40,732
LOYALTY PROGRAM. SO I GUESS I 

4293
02:10:40,732 --> 02:10:43,335
WAS NOT UNDERSTANDING. TOMMASO, 

4294
02:10:43,335 --> 02:10:43,936
YOUR EXPLANATION THAT SOMEHOW 

4295
02:10:43,936 --> 02:10:45,604
TWO PEOPLE WOULD WALK INTO QFC 

4296
02:10:45,604 --> 02:10:47,573
AND WOULD GET A DIFFERENT PRICE 

4297
02:10:47,573 --> 02:10:49,708
BASED ON BEING MEMBERS. SO IF 

4298
02:10:49,708 --> 02:10:52,578
YOU WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT OR 

4299
02:10:52,578 --> 02:10:53,845
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, IF YOU 

4300
02:10:53,845 --> 02:10:55,948
WANTED TO ADDRESS THE INTENT 

4301
02:10:55,948 --> 02:10:58,217
BEHIND YOUR AMENDMENT, WHICH I 

4302
02:10:58,217 --> 02:11:02,254
TAKE TO BE THAT YOU WANT TO BAN 

4303
02:11:02,254 --> 02:11:03,388
ALGORITHMIC PRICING, BUT YOU 

4304
02:11:03,388 --> 02:11:08,160
WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE LOYALTY 

4305
02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:08,660
PROGRAMS REMAIN INTACT. 

4306
02:11:08,660 --> 02:11:11,663
-- COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE TOMMASO.

4307
02:11:11,663 --> 02:11:13,398
-- THANK YOU. YES. COUNCILMEMBER

4308
02:11:13,398 --> 02:11:17,069
RIVERA. I'M HAPPY TO ATTEMPT TO

4309
02:11:17,069 --> 02:11:19,104
CLARIFY. SO COUNCILMEMBER RINCK 

4310
02:11:19,104 --> 02:11:21,873
OFFERED A HYPOTHETICAL WHEREBY 

4311
02:11:21,873 --> 02:11:25,744
THERE WAS A ITEM THAT HAD A LIST

4312
02:11:25,744 --> 02:11:26,378
PRICE, A BONA FIDE MARKET PRICE 

4313
02:11:26,378 --> 02:11:31,049
OF $10, AND THERE WERE TWO 

4314
02:11:31,049 --> 02:11:33,819
DIFFERENT CONSUMERS. ONE WAS 

4315
02:11:33,819 --> 02:11:35,787
OFFERED A $3 COUPON OR $3 

4316
02:11:35,787 --> 02:11:38,123
DISCOUNT ON THAT ITEM, AND ONE 

4317
02:11:38,123 --> 02:11:41,026
WAS OFFERED A $1 DISCOUNT. AND 

4318
02:11:41,026 --> 02:11:44,196
COUNCILMEMBER RINCK HAD ASKED 

4319
02:11:44,196 --> 02:11:46,198
IF, UNDER AMENDMENT A, IF, THAT 

4320
02:11:46,198 --> 02:11:47,699
PRACTICE WOULD BE ALLOWED, AND 

4321
02:11:47,699 --> 02:11:50,435
THE ANSWER TO THAT IS IS YES. 

4322
02:11:50,435 --> 02:11:53,472
THE AMENDMENT CHANGES THE 

4323
02:11:53,472 --> 02:11:55,574
REGULATORY STRUCTURE. THE BILL. 

4324
02:11:55,574 --> 02:11:58,377
SO IT BROADLY PERMITS. IT 

4325
02:11:58,377 --> 02:11:58,977
DOESN'T REGULATE DISCOUNTS 

4326
02:11:58,977 --> 02:12:01,213
WHATSOEVER. IT ONLY REGULATES 

4327
02:12:01,213 --> 02:12:04,016
INCREASES USE OF 

4328
02:12:04,016 --> 02:12:04,516
ALGORITHMIC-BASED PRICE 

4329
02:12:04,516 --> 02:12:05,817
DISCRIMINATION FOR INCREASES. SO

4330
02:12:05,817 --> 02:12:07,552
UNDER AMENDMENT A, AS LONG AS 

4331
02:12:07,552 --> 02:12:09,121
THE PRICE IS NOT INCREASING, AS 

4332
02:12:09,121 --> 02:12:12,858
LONG AS IT IS DISCRETE DISC 

4333
02:12:12,858 --> 02:12:14,993
DECREASING BY SOME AMOUNT, THE 

4334
02:12:14,993 --> 02:12:17,996
BILL WOULD NOT WOULD NO LONGER 

4335
02:12:17,996 --> 02:12:18,597
REGULATE WHAT THAT DISCOUNT, 

4336
02:12:18,597 --> 02:12:20,699
WHAT THAT DECREASE IS, AND IT 

4337
02:12:20,699 --> 02:12:24,403
WOULD NO LONGER SAY THAT ANY 

4338
02:12:24,403 --> 02:12:25,971
GROUPS OF CONSUMERS OR GROUPS OF

4339
02:12:25,971 --> 02:12:27,406
LOYALTY CLUB MEMBERS WOULD NEED 

4340
02:12:27,406 --> 02:12:29,341
TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME $3 

4341
02:12:29,341 --> 02:12:31,076
DISCOUNT THEY COULD. A RETAILER 

4342
02:12:31,076 --> 02:12:34,479
UNDER THE AMENDMENT, COULD OFFER

4343
02:12:34,479 --> 02:12:35,113
DIFFERENT DISCOUNTS TO DIFFERENT

4344
02:12:35,113 --> 02:12:37,716
PEOPLE BASED ON WHATEVER 

4345
02:12:37,716 --> 02:12:38,617
CRITERIA THEY WANT TO USE, BUT 

4346
02:12:38,617 --> 02:12:39,952
THE INFORMATION THEY HAVE FROM 

4347
02:12:39,952 --> 02:12:42,220
THAT PERSON. SO JUST BECAUSE 

4348
02:12:42,220 --> 02:12:43,689
NEITHER WOULD BE AN INCREASE, SO

4349
02:12:43,689 --> 02:12:46,158
NEITHER WOULD BE REGULATED. 

4350
02:12:46,158 --> 02:12:47,125
-- COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA FLOOR IS

4351
02:12:47,125 --> 02:12:50,262
STILL YOURS. BEFORE I HAND 

4352
02:12:50,262 --> 02:12:50,729
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. 

4353
02:12:50,729 --> 02:12:54,299
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

4354
02:12:54,299 --> 02:12:56,969
AND DO WE? BECAUSE AGAIN, I HAD 

4355
02:12:56,969 --> 02:12:59,404
NOT HEARD IF TWO OF US WALK INTO

4356
02:12:59,404 --> 02:13:00,972
QFC AND WE'RE LOYALTY CARD 

4357
02:13:00,972 --> 02:13:02,808
MEMBERS, BOTH ARE GETTING THE 

4358
02:13:02,808 --> 02:13:07,546
THE SAME LOYALTY PRICE. SO IS 

4359
02:13:07,546 --> 02:13:14,686
THERE IS THERE SOME DO WE HAVE 

4360
02:13:14,686 --> 02:13:17,489
DATA BY WHICH. TO MAKE THE 

4361
02:13:17,489 --> 02:13:19,157
DETERMINATION THAT TWO PEOPLE 

4362
02:13:19,157 --> 02:13:20,859
WALKING INTO QFC. BOTH LOYALTY 

4363
02:13:20,859 --> 02:13:22,894
MEMBERS ARE GETTING DIFFERENT 

4364
02:13:22,894 --> 02:13:24,830
PRICES BECAUSE THE PRICES ARE ON

4365
02:13:24,830 --> 02:13:26,031
THE ACTUAL ITEM AS THAT LOYALTY 

4366
02:13:26,031 --> 02:13:29,668
PRICE AND. OR IS THIS A 

4367
02:13:29,668 --> 02:13:30,002
THEORETICAL. 

4368
02:13:30,002 --> 02:13:32,337
-- WELL, I WAS I WAS ASKED A 

4369
02:13:32,337 --> 02:13:35,006
HYPOTHETICAL WHICH AYE. I 

4370
02:13:35,006 --> 02:13:37,175
ANSWERED, I CAN'T COMMENT ABOUT

4371
02:13:37,175 --> 02:13:38,210
INFORMATION DATA THAT WE HAVE 

4372
02:13:38,210 --> 02:13:40,078
ABOUT THE EXTENT TO WHICH THIS 

4373
02:13:40,078 --> 02:13:41,246
IS OCCURRING OR NOT. TO EXPAND 

4374
02:13:41,246 --> 02:13:44,750
ON THE HYPOTHETICAL, YOU KNOW, 

4375
02:13:44,750 --> 02:13:47,652
SOMEONE, THE PERSON GETTING THE 

4376
02:13:47,652 --> 02:13:49,020
$3 DISCOUNT COULD CONCEIVABLY, 

4377
02:13:49,020 --> 02:13:50,756
YOU KNOW, HAVE A PRIOR PURCHASE 

4378
02:13:50,756 --> 02:13:52,324
HISTORY, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY COULD

4379
02:13:52,324 --> 02:13:53,925
MORE FREQUENTLY PURCHASE THAT 

4380
02:13:53,925 --> 02:13:56,695
ITEM SO THEY COULD BE OFFERED A 

4381
02:13:56,695 --> 02:13:58,463
HIGHER DISCOUNT THAN, THAN 

4382
02:13:58,463 --> 02:13:59,464
ANOTHER LOYALTY CLUB MEMBER. I 

4383
02:13:59,464 --> 02:14:00,599
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WHAT EXTENT 

4384
02:14:00,599 --> 02:14:02,300
THAT'S HAPPENING NOW. THE 

4385
02:14:02,300 --> 02:14:02,934
QUESTION WAS ABOUT WHETHER THAT 

4386
02:14:02,934 --> 02:14:04,836
WOULD BE ALLOWED UNDER THIS 

4387
02:14:04,836 --> 02:14:05,537
AMENDMENT, AND THE ANSWER TO 

4388
02:14:05,537 --> 02:14:10,208
THAT IS YES, IT WOULD BE 

4389
02:14:10,208 --> 02:14:10,475
ALLOWED. 

4390
02:14:10,475 --> 02:14:13,045

02:14:23,655 --> 02:14:26,158
THIS AMENDMENT IS, YOU KNOW, 

4397
02:14:26,158 --> 02:14:26,792
FOCUSED ON PROHIBITING THE 

4398
02:14:26,792 --> 02:14:29,394
INCREASE OF PRICES BUT ALSO 

4399
02:14:29,394 --> 02:14:31,863
PROTECTING THE LOYALTY PROGRAMS.

4400

AND AS NOTED BY COUNCILMEMBER 

4401
02:14:34,132 --> 02:14:38,303
RIVERA, SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE 

4402
02:14:38,303 --> 02:14:41,606
HAVE. COME TO RELY ON. AND, YOU 

4403
02:14:41,606 --> 02:14:44,276
KNOW, CLEARLY AT THIS STAGE, 

4404
02:14:44,276 --> 02:14:46,278
THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO ME. BUT 

4405
02:14:46,278 --> 02:14:47,479
AS IT'S INTERESTING AS A STAY 

4406
02:14:47,479 --> 02:14:49,481
AT HOME DAD, YOU KNOW, LOOKING 

4407
02:14:49,481 --> 02:14:51,416
AT MY DAUGHTER AND CONTRASTING, 

4408
02:14:51,416 --> 02:14:53,718
YOU KNOW, WITH MY CHILDHOOD, YOU

4409
02:14:53,718 --> 02:14:56,988
KNOW, I AM I AM FOCUSED ON THAT 

4410
02:14:56,988 --> 02:14:59,591
AND JUST, I GUESS A WEEK AND A 

4411
02:14:59,591 --> 02:15:02,194
HALF AGO NOW, YOU KNOW, I WAS AT

4412
02:15:02,194 --> 02:15:03,962
A QFC AND, YOU KNOW, AND THAT 

4413
02:15:03,962 --> 02:15:06,698
LOYALTY PROGRAM, BECAUSE I WAS 

4414
02:15:06,698 --> 02:15:08,033
LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE 

4415
02:15:08,033 --> 02:15:10,068
DEALS WERE, WHAT THE OPTIONS 

4416
02:15:10,068 --> 02:15:11,236
WERE. AND, AND I DO HAVE A LOVE 

4417
02:15:11,236 --> 02:15:14,072
OF DIET COKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN 

4418
02:15:14,072 --> 02:15:16,274
THAT SAVED ME A GREAT AMOUNT AND

4419
02:15:16,274 --> 02:15:18,310
ENDED UP SAVING 21% ON MY 

4420
02:15:18,310 --> 02:15:25,217
GROCERY BILL 21% QFC JUST IN MY 

4421
02:15:25,217 --> 02:15:28,420
DISTRICT. AND AGAIN I CAN AFFORD

4422
02:15:28,420 --> 02:15:33,825
IT MYSELF. BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE 

4423
02:15:33,825 --> 02:15:35,827
OUT THERE WHERE THAT 21% MAKES A

4424
02:15:35,827 --> 02:15:38,763
DIFFERENCE? YOU KNOW, IN TERMS 

4425
02:15:38,763 --> 02:15:41,099
OF THAT? YES, 21% MAKES A 

4426
02:15:41,099 --> 02:15:43,869
DIFFERENCE. AND SO THAT'S MY 

4427
02:15:43,869 --> 02:15:45,370
CONCERN. THIS IS NOT A 

4428
02:15:45,370 --> 02:15:49,574
HYPOTHETICAL THAT 21% WAS REAL. 

4429
02:15:49,574 --> 02:15:50,475
AND MY CONCERN IS THE LOSS OF 

4430
02:15:50,475 --> 02:15:53,044
THESE LOYALTY PROGRAMS. AND SO 

4431
02:15:53,044 --> 02:15:54,846
AGAIN, COLLEAGUES, I ASK FOR 

4432

TO AMEND THE BILL AS PRESENTED 

4471
02:16:57,842 --> 02:16:59,244
ON AMENDMENT B AND AS SPONSOR. I

4472
02:16:59,244 --> 02:17:01,980
WILL ADDRESS IT AND I KNOW WE'LL

4473
02:17:01,980 --> 02:17:03,682
PUT IT UP ON THE SCREEN. SO, 

4474
02:17:03,682 --> 02:17:05,450
COLLEAGUES, WHEN WE WERE IN, I 

4475
02:17:05,450 --> 02:17:07,085
WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THESE TWO 

4476
02:17:07,085 --> 02:17:09,487
AMENDMENTS TO COMMITTEE. I HATE 

4477
02:17:09,487 --> 02:17:10,889
BRINGING AMENDMENTS TO FULL 

4478
02:17:10,889 --> 02:17:12,324
COUNCIL ONLY IF I ABSOLUTELY 

4479
02:17:12,324 --> 02:17:13,792
HAVE TO. I MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

4480
02:17:13,792 --> 02:17:15,827
THESE WERE CAUGHT UP IN LAW TO 

4481
02:17:15,827 --> 02:17:16,494
MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE 

4482
02:17:16,494 --> 02:17:17,996
COULD GET THROUGH SOME OF THE 

4483
02:17:17,996 --> 02:17:19,998
WORDING. SO TODAY IN SEATTLE, AS

4484
02:17:19,998 --> 02:17:22,300
YOU ALL KNOW, GAS PRICES ARE 

4485
02:17:22,300 --> 02:17:23,702
STEADILY CLIMBING. AND THIS IS 

4486
02:17:23,702 --> 02:17:26,871
THIS IS A CLARIFYING AMENDMENT. 

4487
02:17:26,871 --> 02:17:29,307
JUST CLARIFYING, OKAY, THERE'S 

4488
02:17:29,307 --> 02:17:31,076
A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OUT 

4489
02:17:31,076 --> 02:17:32,944
THERE. THIS IS A CLARIFYING 

4490
02:17:32,944 --> 02:17:34,879
AMENDMENT ON GAS PRICES THAT ARE

4491
02:17:34,879 --> 02:17:35,413
THAT ARE DISCOUNTS ARE 

4492
02:17:35,413 --> 02:17:37,082
PERMITTED. SO THIS AMENDMENT 

4493
02:17:37,082 --> 02:17:38,783
CLARIFIES THAT ALL PARTICIPANTS 

4494
02:17:38,783 --> 02:17:40,752
IN LOYALTY AND MEMBERSHIP 

4495
02:17:40,752 --> 02:17:43,455
PROGRAMS CAN CONTINUE TO RECEIVE

4496
02:17:43,455 --> 02:17:46,191
FUEL DISCOUNTS. YOU KNOW, 

4497
02:17:46,191 --> 02:17:47,192
SAFEWAY OFFERS FUEL TO MEMBERS. 

4498
02:17:47,192 --> 02:17:48,727
I KNOW KROGER HAS A DEAL WITH 

4499
02:17:48,727 --> 02:17:50,362
SHELL TO OFFER GAS DISCOUNTS, 

4500
02:17:50,362 --> 02:17:53,098
AND COSTCO HAS ITS OWN GAS 

4501
02:17:53,098 --> 02:17:54,966
STATION AS WELL. SO THIS IS JUST

4502
02:17:54,966 --> 02:17:57,936
TO CLARIFY THAT GAS DISCOUNTS 

4503
02:17:57,936 --> 02:18:00,872
ARE PERMITTED WITHIN THE BILL. 

4504
02:18:00,872 --> 02:18:02,173
THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE BILL. 

4505
02:18:02,173 --> 02:18:03,541
IT'S JUST CLARIFIES IT. I ALSO 

4506
02:18:03,541 --> 02:18:05,944
WANT TO THANK YUSSUF C W WHO 

4507
02:18:05,944 --> 02:18:09,014

4508
02:18:09,014 --> 02:18:10,949

4509
02:18:10,949 --> 02:18:11,983
AMENDMENT AS WELL. AND YOU CAN 

4510
02:18:11,983 --> 02:18:13,952
LOOK AT THEM AS WELL TO SEE IF 

4511
02:18:13,952 --> 02:18:15,453
I'M LYING OR NOT. OKAY, SO 

4512
02:18:15,453 --> 02:18:17,389

4573
02:20:09,501 --> 02:20:11,903
REGARDING AMENDMENT C AS 

4574
02:20:11,903 --> 02:20:16,174
PRESENTED ON COUNCIL BILL 

4575
02:20:16,174 --> 02:20:19,611
121267? NO. OKAY. WILL THE CLERK

4576
02:20:19,611 --> 02:20:20,779
OH, SORRY. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA 

4577
02:20:20,779 --> 02:20:22,747
FOLLOWED BY COUNCILMEMBER RINCK.

4578
02:20:22,747 --> 02:20:25,550
-- THANK YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

4579
02:20:25,550 --> 02:20:27,085
AGAIN, I'M TAKING THIS TO MEAN 

4580
02:20:27,085 --> 02:20:29,354
THAT THE SPONSOR IS CONCERNED 

4581
02:20:29,354 --> 02:20:32,891
ABOUT THESE LOYALTY PROGRAMS. SO

4582
02:20:32,891 --> 02:20:35,093
I GUESS COUNCIL PRESIDENT, MAY I

4583
02:20:35,093 --> 02:20:38,396
ASK CENTRAL STAFF ALSO IN TERMS 

4584
02:20:38,396 --> 02:20:41,466
OF THE UNDERLYING LEGISLATION, 

4585
02:20:41,466 --> 02:20:43,935
DOES IT REQUIRE LOYALTY PROGRAM 

4586
02:20:43,935 --> 02:20:49,841
TO STAY IN EXISTENCE? MEANING 

4587
02:20:49,841 --> 02:20:52,010
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS SAYING WE 

4588
02:20:52,010 --> 02:20:53,378
DON'T WANT ALGORITHMIC PRICING,

4589
02:20:53,378 --> 02:20:54,879
WHICH WE'VE ALL ESTABLISHED 

4590
02:20:54,879 --> 02:20:57,482
THAT I BELIEVE WE ALL SUPPORT 

4591
02:20:57,482 --> 02:21:00,084
HERE, BUT THE WAY THAT THE 

4592
02:21:00,084 --> 02:21:01,252
LEGISLATION I MEAN, IT'S A 

4593
02:21:01,252 --> 02:21:05,190
LITTLE BIT I UNDERSTAND IT'S A 

4594
02:21:05,190 --> 02:21:08,726
LITTLE COMPLEX, BUT I'M 

4595
02:21:08,726 --> 02:21:10,395
CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACTS ON 

4596
02:21:10,395 --> 02:21:11,830
THE LOYALTY PROGRAM. SO WHICH, 

4597
02:21:11,830 --> 02:21:13,031
AGAIN, PEOPLE HAVE COME TO 

4598
02:21:13,031 --> 02:21:15,099
EXPECT, AND WE'VE HEARD FROM 

4599
02:21:15,099 --> 02:21:19,504
PEOPLE TO SAY WE'RE OFTEN MAKING

4600
02:21:19,504 --> 02:21:20,071
THINGS MORE LESS AFFORDABLE 

4601
02:21:20,071 --> 02:21:23,274
RATHER THAN MORE. SO IT IS AN 

4602
02:21:23,274 --> 02:21:23,908
UNDERLYING LEGISLATION PRESERVE,

4603
02:21:23,908 --> 02:21:25,210
YOU KNOW, IS THERE SOME 

4604
02:21:25,210 --> 02:21:27,679
REQUIREMENT TO DO LOYALTY 

4605
02:21:27,679 --> 02:21:29,814
PROGRAM OR COULD WE LOSE THOSE 

4606
02:21:29,814 --> 02:21:31,516
LOYALTY PROGRAMS? BECAUSE 

4607
02:21:31,516 --> 02:21:32,217
THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE IS AT 

4608
02:21:32,217 --> 02:21:34,319
STAKE HERE. AND THEN FOLKS ARE 

4609
02:21:34,319 --> 02:21:37,989
IT'S GOING TO WIND UP RESULTING

4610
02:21:37,989 --> 02:21:42,327
IN THINGS BEING MORE EXPENSIVE 

4611
02:21:42,327 --> 02:21:42,727
RATHER THAN LESS. 

4612
02:21:42,727 --> 02:21:46,865
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

4613
02:21:46,865 --> 02:21:50,034
RIVERA. THE LEGISLATION DOESN'T

4614
02:21:50,034 --> 02:21:52,203
ATTEMPT TO REQUIRE THAT LOYALTY 

4615
02:21:52,203 --> 02:21:55,173
PROGRAMS EXIST OR CONTINUE TO 

4616
02:21:55,173 --> 02:21:57,775
EXIST. IT OFFERS A VARIETY OF 

4617
02:21:57,775 --> 02:21:59,978
EXCEPTIONS TO ALGORITHMIC. THE 

4618
02:21:59,978 --> 02:22:03,147
DEFINITION OF ALGORITHMIC-BASED 

4619
02:22:03,147 --> 02:22:06,818
PRICE DISCRIMINATION, ONE OF 

4620
02:22:06,818 --> 02:22:07,418
THOSE EXCEPTIONS IS PRIMARILY 

4621
02:22:07,418 --> 02:22:10,488
DESIGNED TO ALLOW DISCOUNTS 

4622
02:22:10,488 --> 02:22:12,390
BASED ON LOYALTY PROGRAMS, 

4623
02:22:12,390 --> 02:22:14,492
WHICH. THIS AMENDMENT WOULD MAKE

4624
02:22:14,492 --> 02:22:15,693
SOME MODIFICATIONS TO. BUT IN 

4625
02:22:15,693 --> 02:22:19,197
TERMS OF YOUR QUESTION, NO, 

4626
02:22:19,197 --> 02:22:19,864
THERE'S THERE'S NOTHING IN THE

4627
02:22:19,864 --> 02:22:20,899
UNDERLYING BILL, NOR THIS 

4628
02:22:20,899 --> 02:22:22,800
AMENDMENT THAT WOULD REQUIRE 

4629
02:22:22,800 --> 02:22:25,136
ATTEMPT TO REQUIRE LOYALTY 

4630
02:22:25,136 --> 02:22:27,438
PROGRAMS TO CONTINUE TO EXIST IN

4631
02:22:27,438 --> 02:22:30,375
SOME SPECIFIC FORM OR IN 

4632
02:22:30,375 --> 02:22:30,642
GENERAL. 

4633
02:22:30,642 --> 02:22:32,710
-- THANK YOU. THANK YOU. TOMASO.

4634
02:22:32,710 --> 02:22:34,078
COUNCIL PRESIDENT, MAY I ASK ONE

4635
02:22:34,078 --> 02:22:39,450
MORE QUESTION AND APOLOGIES? A 

4636
02:22:39,450 --> 02:22:41,352
COLLEAGUES. I DON'T SIT ON THE 

4637
02:22:41,352 --> 02:22:42,720
COMMITTEE THAT HEARD THIS BILL. 

4638
02:22:42,720 --> 02:22:46,124
SO I'M I'M JUST MY OPPORTUNITY

4639
02:22:46,124 --> 02:22:47,892
TO ASK QUESTIONS AND TRY TO 

4640
02:22:47,892 --> 02:22:51,496
UNDERSTAND SOME OF THIS. SO 

4641
02:22:51,496 --> 02:22:54,465
UNDERSTOOD THAT LOYALTY PROGRAMS

4642
02:22:54,465 --> 02:22:59,504
ARE NOT REQUIRED. SO IS IS IF WE

4643
02:22:59,504 --> 02:23:04,509
ARE SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO 

4644
02:23:04,509 --> 02:23:06,577
DO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO BAN

4645
02:23:06,577 --> 02:23:09,514
ALGORITHMIC PRICING AND THEN 

4646
02:23:09,514 --> 02:23:15,219
LOYALTY PROGRAMS, THEN THE THE 

4647
02:23:15,219 --> 02:23:17,255
GROCERS CAN DECIDE TO TAKE THE 

4648
02:23:17,255 --> 02:23:18,590
LOYALTY PROGRAMS AWAY. THEN 

4649
02:23:18,590 --> 02:23:20,959
WE'RE GOING TO WIND UP, THEY 

4650
02:23:20,959 --> 02:23:23,995
CAN CHARGE WHATEVER THE MARKET 

4651
02:23:23,995 --> 02:23:26,731
WILL BEAR FOR THAT PARTICULAR 

4652
02:23:26,731 --> 02:23:28,666
PRODUCT. AND THERE IS NO WAY TO,

4653
02:23:28,666 --> 02:23:30,401
AS LONG AS THEY'RE OFFERING THE

4654
02:23:30,401 --> 02:23:32,503
PRODUCT AT THE SAME PRICE TO 

4655
02:23:32,503 --> 02:23:36,474
EVERYONE. THERE IS NO ABILITY TO

4656
02:23:36,474 --> 02:23:38,810
HAVE THAT PRODUCT BE OFFERED AT 

4657
02:23:38,810 --> 02:23:40,144
A LESSER RATE, OR AT A RATE THAT

4658
02:23:40,144 --> 02:23:42,547
WE WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE 

4659
02:23:42,547 --> 02:23:43,781
WITH, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WAY 

4660
02:23:43,781 --> 02:23:50,254
TO SAY IT. CORRECT. 

4661
02:23:50,254 --> 02:23:52,490
-- SO THE, THE, THE EXISTENCE 

4662
02:23:52,490 --> 02:23:54,392
AND THE STRUCTURE OF LOYALTY 

4663
02:23:54,392 --> 02:23:56,027
PROGRAMS ARE, YOU KNOW, 

4664
02:23:56,027 --> 02:23:57,895
GENERALLY SPEAKING, A, A CHOICE 

4665
02:23:57,895 --> 02:24:01,866
THAT THE BUSINESSES ARE MAKING. 

4666
02:24:01,866 --> 02:24:07,705
THE BILL WOULD REQUIRE THAT 

4667
02:24:07,705 --> 02:24:11,209
DISCOUNTS IF THE DISCOUNTS ARE 

4668
02:24:11,209 --> 02:24:14,312
THE PRICES ARE ADJUSTED THROUGH 

4669
02:24:14,312 --> 02:24:17,882
VIA ALGORITHMIC METHODS THAT 

4670
02:24:17,882 --> 02:24:20,018
DISCOUNTS NEED TO MEET CERTAIN 

4671
02:24:20,018 --> 02:24:25,223
TYPES OF CRITERIA. SO SO THOSE 

4672
02:24:25,223 --> 02:24:27,658
EXCEPTIONS TO THE GENERAL 

4673
02:24:27,658 --> 02:24:28,292
PROHIBITION ON ALGORITHMIC-BASED

4674
02:24:28,292 --> 02:24:29,394
PRICE DISCRIMINATION ARE 

4675
02:24:29,394 --> 02:24:33,031
DESCRIBED IN THE ORDINANCE. AND 

4676
02:24:33,031 --> 02:24:34,332
AND MEMBERSHIP OR ENROLLMENT IN 

4677
02:24:34,332 --> 02:24:36,200
A LOYALTY PROGRAM IS ONE OF THE 

4678
02:24:36,200 --> 02:24:38,903
CRITERIA THAT ARE CARVED OUT AS 

4679
02:24:38,903 --> 02:24:44,542
AN EXCEPTION TO BE AN ALLOWED 

4680
02:24:44,542 --> 02:24:45,777
PRACTICE. THAT YEAH, LIKE I SAID

4681
02:24:45,777 --> 02:24:49,347
BEFORE, WHETHER WHETHER OR NOT A

4682
02:24:49,347 --> 02:24:51,015
BUSINESS CONTINUES TO CHOOSE TO 

4683
02:24:51,015 --> 02:24:53,518
OFFER A LOYALTY PROGRAM IS A 

4684
02:24:53,518 --> 02:24:55,219
DISCRETIONARY DECISION THAT THE 

4685
02:24:55,219 --> 02:24:56,988
BUSINESS WOULD WOULD MAKE, THEY 

4686
02:24:56,988 --> 02:24:58,956
COULD THAT THEY COULD MAKE 

4687
02:24:58,956 --> 02:25:02,226
PRESENT OR ABSENT OF THIS 

4688
02:25:02,226 --> 02:25:04,762
LEGISLATION IF THEY WERE TO USE 

4689
02:25:04,762 --> 02:25:06,564
DATA, PERSONALIZED DATA, IF THEY

4690
02:25:06,564 --> 02:25:07,865
WERE TO USE DATA IN A WAY TO 

4691
02:25:07,865 --> 02:25:09,867
VARY THE PRICE IN A WAY THAT 

4692
02:25:09,867 --> 02:25:12,570
MEETS THE DEFINITION OF 

4693
02:25:12,570 --> 02:25:13,171
ALGORITHMIC ALGORITHMIC-BASED 

4694
02:25:13,171 --> 02:25:14,205
PRICE DISCRIMINATION, THEN THEY 

4695
02:25:14,205 --> 02:25:16,374
WOULD NEED TO DO SO IN ONE OF 

4696
02:25:16,374 --> 02:25:17,742
THE MANNERS THAT'S ALLOWED BY 

4697
02:25:17,742 --> 02:25:20,945
THE BILL, WHICH INCLUDES USE OF 

4698
02:25:20,945 --> 02:25:23,414
LOYALTY PROGRAMS SUBJECT TO 

4699
02:25:23,414 --> 02:25:24,082
CERTAIN CRITERIA. SO I HOPE THAT

4700
02:25:24,082 --> 02:25:27,485
ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. 

4701
02:25:27,485 --> 02:25:29,854
-- YES, TOMMASO, I THINK AT THE 

4702
02:25:29,854 --> 02:25:33,057
END OF THE DAY, IF WE PASS THE 

4703
02:25:33,057 --> 02:25:35,026
UNDERLYING LEGISLATION AND THE 

4704
02:25:35,026 --> 02:25:37,395
GROCERS BELIEVE THAT, YOU KNOW, 

4705
02:25:37,395 --> 02:25:38,963
IT'S A LITTLE COMPLICATED 

4706
02:25:38,963 --> 02:25:39,997
BECAUSE THEN THERE'S THIS 

4707
02:25:39,997 --> 02:25:40,798
PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION, ET 

4708
02:25:40,798 --> 02:25:42,100
CETERA.. AND SO THEY COULD 

4709
02:25:42,100 --> 02:25:44,202
DECIDE TO DO AWAY WITH THE 

4710
02:25:44,202 --> 02:25:45,603
LOYALTY PROGRAMS AND JUST OFFER 

4711
02:25:45,603 --> 02:25:47,538
THE SAME PRICE TO EVERYONE, BUT 

4712
02:25:47,538 --> 02:25:52,543
THAT SAME PRICE CAN BE A HIGHER 

4713
02:25:52,543 --> 02:25:55,713
END PRICE THAN FOLKS ARE, ARE 

4714
02:25:55,713 --> 02:25:58,516
CURRENTLY GETTING WHO ENROLL IN 

4715
02:25:58,516 --> 02:26:00,518
THOSE LOYALTY PROGRAMS 

4716
02:26:00,518 --> 02:26:02,120
-- YEAH. THAT'S CORRECT. 

4717
02:26:02,120 --> 02:26:03,454
THAT'S, THAT'S ONE POTENTIAL 

4718
02:26:03,454 --> 02:26:07,058
OUTCOME. YES 

4719
02:26:07,058 --> 02:26:08,326
-- THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING, 

4720
02:26:08,326 --> 02:26:10,428
TOMASO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 

4721
02:26:10,428 --> 02:26:10,862
COUNCIL PRESIDENT. 

4722
02:26:10,862 --> 02:26:12,430
-- AWESOME. COUNCILMEMBER RINCK.

4723
02:26:12,430 --> 02:26:14,198
AND THEN WE'LL CLOSE WITH 

4724
02:26:14,198 --> 02:26:15,566
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. 

4725
02:26:15,566 --> 02:26:17,668
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

4726
02:26:17,668 --> 02:26:18,669
AND ENCOURAGE ALL COLLEAGUES IF 

4727
02:26:18,669 --> 02:26:20,238
YOU EVER WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN 

4728
02:26:20,238 --> 02:26:21,439
A HUMAN SERVICES, LABOR AND 

4729
02:26:21,439 --> 02:26:22,073
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, 

4730
02:26:22,073 --> 02:26:24,208
YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US. 9:30

4731
02:26:24,208 --> 02:26:28,946
A.M. EVERY OTHER FRIDAY. TO THAT

4732
02:26:28,946 --> 02:26:31,048
END, I WANT TO NOTE THE EXISTING

4733
02:26:31,048 --> 02:26:33,117
BILL ALREADY ALLOWS DISCOUNTS 

4734
02:26:33,117 --> 02:26:34,919
BASED ON PURCHASE HISTORY TIERS 

4735
02:26:34,919 --> 02:26:37,421
WITH RESTRICTIONS ON PROFILING 

4736
02:26:37,421 --> 02:26:37,922
AND COMBINING PERSONAL 

4737
02:26:37,922 --> 02:26:39,157
INFORMATION. TOMASO, WHAT 

4738
02:26:39,157 --> 02:26:42,026
SPECIFIC LOYALTY PROGRAMS 

4739
02:26:42,026 --> 02:26:48,933
PRACTICE WOULD REQUIRE REMOVING 

4740
02:26:48,933 --> 02:26:49,367
THOSE RESTRICTIONS? 

4741
02:26:49,367 --> 02:26:53,137
-- I'M NOT AWARE. WE DON'T WE 

4742
02:26:53,137 --> 02:26:56,040
DON'T HAVE GRANULAR INFORMATION

4743
02:26:56,040 --> 02:26:56,541
ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF 

4744
02:26:56,541 --> 02:26:58,442
INDIVIDUAL LOYALTY PROGRAMS TO 

4745
02:26:58,442 --> 02:27:03,381
THAT LEVEL. SO I'M NOT AWARE 

4746
02:27:03,381 --> 02:27:05,183
THAT. I'M NOT AWARE OF THE 

4747
02:27:05,183 --> 02:27:07,351
SPECIFIC WAYS IN WHICH THE 

4748
02:27:07,351 --> 02:27:08,586
REGULATIONS IN THIS BILL WOULD 

4749
02:27:08,586 --> 02:27:10,521
OR WOULD OR WOULDN'T CONFLICT 

4750
02:27:10,521 --> 02:27:11,823
WITH LOYALTY PROGRAMS. I THINK 

4751
02:27:11,823 --> 02:27:14,158
WE'VE HEARD SOME TESTIMONY FROM

4752
02:27:14,158 --> 02:27:16,594
GROCERS ABOUT THAT, BUT WE 

4753
02:27:16,594 --> 02:27:19,063
DON'T HAVE INDEPENDENTLY 

4754
02:27:19,063 --> 02:27:19,664
VERIFIED INFORMATION, ENOUGH 

4755
02:27:19,664 --> 02:27:22,967
DETAIL TO TO SPEAK TO WHETHER OR

4756
02:27:22,967 --> 02:27:26,237
NOT EXISTING LOYALTY PROGRAMS 

4757
02:27:26,237 --> 02:27:29,140
WOULD REQUIRE A LEVEL OF, OF 

4758
02:27:29,140 --> 02:27:30,641
INFORMATION OR A LEVEL OF 

4759
02:27:30,641 --> 02:27:32,210
PRACTICE THAT ISN'T ALLOWED BY 

4760
02:27:32,210 --> 02:27:32,510
THIS BILL. 

4761
02:27:32,510 --> 02:27:33,611
-- OKAY. AND BUILDING ON THAT, 

4762
02:27:33,611 --> 02:27:36,380
THIS AMENDMENT ALSO REMOVES THE 

4763
02:27:36,380 --> 02:27:38,616
EQUAL TERMS REQUIREMENT IN 

4764
02:27:38,616 --> 02:27:39,116
SUBSECTION FIVE AND THE 

4765
02:27:39,116 --> 02:27:40,084
RESTRICTIONS ON USING AND 

4766
02:27:40,084 --> 02:27:41,519
SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO 

4767
02:27:41,519 --> 02:27:43,888
DETERMINE OR TARGET MANUFACTURER

4768
02:27:43,888 --> 02:27:46,457
AND THIRD PARTY COUPONS. ARE 

4769
02:27:46,457 --> 02:27:48,926
THOSE CHANGES NECESSARY TO 

4770
02:27:48,926 --> 02:27:49,460
PRESERVE ORDINARY LOYALTY 

4771
02:27:49,460 --> 02:27:52,196
REWARDS 

4772
02:27:52,196 --> 02:27:55,333
-- ONCE AGAIN, YOU KNOW, 

4773
02:27:55,333 --> 02:27:56,901
UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T WE DON'T

4774
02:27:56,901 --> 02:27:57,535
HAVE THAT LEVEL OF INFORMATION 

4775
02:27:57,535 --> 02:27:59,303
ABOUT THE SPECIFIC BUSINESS 

4776
02:27:59,303 --> 02:28:00,705
PRACTICES TO SAY WHETHER OR NOT 

4777
02:28:00,705 --> 02:28:03,674
IT'S IT'S IT'S NECESSARY. I 

4778
02:28:03,674 --> 02:28:07,078
MEAN, I THINK, AS I SAID BEFORE,

4779
02:28:07,078 --> 02:28:08,746
THESE ARE PROGRAMS, BUSINESS 

4780
02:28:08,746 --> 02:28:11,816
PRACTICES THAT ARE BEING OFFERED

4781
02:28:11,816 --> 02:28:14,552
VOLUNTARILY BY THE BUSINESSES. 

4782
02:28:14,552 --> 02:28:17,655
IF IF YOU KNOW, IF THIS 

4783
02:28:17,655 --> 02:28:19,390
LEGISLATION PASSES, THEY'LL, YOU

4784
02:28:19,390 --> 02:28:22,126
KNOW, HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE 

4785
02:28:22,126 --> 02:28:25,363
ABOUT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE 

4786
02:28:25,363 --> 02:28:26,230
REGULATIONS WOULD CONFLICT WITH 

4787
02:28:26,230 --> 02:28:26,864
THE CURRENT BUSINESS PRACTICE, 

4788
02:28:26,864 --> 02:28:28,799
THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE

4789
02:28:28,799 --> 02:28:31,769
ABOUT CHANGING THE STRUCTURE OF 

4790
02:28:31,769 --> 02:28:32,403
THEIR LOYALTY PROGRAM OR BEING 

4791
02:28:32,403 --> 02:28:34,472
OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH WITH THE 

4792
02:28:34,472 --> 02:28:36,440
LAW. SO THEY WOULD EITHER CHANGE

4793
02:28:36,440 --> 02:28:37,275
THE STRUCTURE. IF IT CONFLICTS, 

4794
02:28:37,275 --> 02:28:38,142
IT MAY NOT CONFLICT. THEY MAY 

4795
02:28:38,142 --> 02:28:39,577
NOT NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING, OR 

4796
02:28:39,577 --> 02:28:41,078
THEY MAY DO AWAY WITH LOYALTY 

4797
02:28:41,078 --> 02:28:42,513
PROGRAMS. BUT IT'S HARD TO 

4798
02:28:42,513 --> 02:28:43,614
SPECULATE ABOUT THAT. 

4799
02:28:43,614 --> 02:28:45,016
-- THANK YOU. TOMASO. I THINK 

4800
02:28:45,016 --> 02:28:46,684
I'D JUST CLOSE NOTING 

4801
02:28:46,684 --> 02:28:47,885
COLLEAGUES, I'M DIGGING SO MUCH

4802
02:28:47,885 --> 02:28:51,222
INTO SOME OF THESE PIECES ON 

4803
02:28:51,222 --> 02:28:51,856
DISCOUNTS AND LOYALTY PROGRAMS 

4804
02:28:51,856 --> 02:28:52,957
BECAUSE OF THE CAREFUL AND 

4805
02:28:52,957 --> 02:28:56,861
THOUGHTFUL WORK MY TEAM AND MANY

4806
02:28:56,861 --> 02:28:57,428
OTHERS SPENT CRAFTING THIS 

4807
02:28:57,428 --> 02:28:58,462
POLICY TO REALLY FOCUS ON 

4808
02:28:58,462 --> 02:29:00,097
PRESERVING THE INTEGRITY OF A 

4809
02:29:00,097 --> 02:29:03,167
DISCOUNT. AND SO FOR THOSE 

4810
02:29:03,167 --> 02:29:05,269
REASONS, I URGE A NO VOTE ON 

4811
02:29:05,269 --> 02:29:08,406
THIS AMENDMENT. THANK YOU. 

4812
02:29:08,406 --> 02:29:08,973
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

4813
02:29:08,973 --> 02:29:09,607
RINCK. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. AND

4814
02:29:09,607 --> 02:29:10,708
THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO TO 

4815
02:29:10,708 --> 02:29:13,511
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE TO CLOSE. 

4816
02:29:13,511 --> 02:29:13,978
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. 

4817
02:29:13,978 --> 02:29:15,479
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

4818
02:29:15,479 --> 02:29:17,515
AND THANK YOU FOR THOSE 

4819
02:29:17,515 --> 02:29:19,650
COMMENTS. COUNCILMEMBER. RINCK. 

4820
02:29:19,650 --> 02:29:21,585
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, WE 

4821
02:29:21,585 --> 02:29:24,121
CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT THESE 

4822
02:29:24,121 --> 02:29:26,958
LOYALTY PROGRAMS ARE GOING TO 

4823
02:29:26,958 --> 02:29:28,859
CONTINUE IF THE UNDERLYING BILL 

4824
02:29:28,859 --> 02:29:30,261
PASSES. SO THIS IS WHY I'M 

4825
02:29:30,261 --> 02:29:31,962
ASKING ALL THOSE ALL THESE 

4826
02:29:31,962 --> 02:29:33,130
QUESTIONS. AND OF COURSE, 

4827
02:29:33,130 --> 02:29:34,899
COLLEAGUES, WE ALL ALWAYS CAN 

4828
02:29:34,899 --> 02:29:35,800
ATTEND EACH OTHER'S MEETINGS, 

4829
02:29:35,800 --> 02:29:37,268
BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE.

4830
02:29:37,268 --> 02:29:39,837
SO I WANT TO AGAIN, THANK YOU 

4831
02:29:39,837 --> 02:29:41,439
ALL FOR BEARING WITH ME AS I ASK

4832
02:29:41,439 --> 02:29:43,207
THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE 

4833
02:29:43,207 --> 02:29:45,876
UNDERLYING BILL. REALLY 

4834
02:29:45,876 --> 02:29:47,812
APPRECIATE YOUR ALLOWING ME TO 

4835
02:29:47,812 --> 02:29:49,046
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, AND 

4836
02:29:49,046 --> 02:29:50,581
MAYBE EVEN SOMEONE LISTENING AT 

4837
02:29:50,581 --> 02:29:51,983
HOME MIGHT HAVE THE SAME 

4838
02:29:51,983 --> 02:29:53,784
QUESTIONS. SO I WANT TO MAKE 

4839
02:29:53,784 --> 02:29:56,120
SURE I'M DOING MY DUE DILIGENCE

4840
02:29:56,120 --> 02:29:57,521
AS WE CONSIDER THIS PIECE OF 

4841
02:29:57,521 --> 02:29:58,689
LEGISLATION, BECAUSE I THINK IT 

4842
02:29:58,689 --> 02:30:00,157
IS A REALLY IMPORTANT ONE. THANK

4843
02:30:00,157 --> 02:30:02,460
YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT. 

4844
02:30:02,460 --> 02:30:03,427
-- ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. 

4845
02:30:03,427 --> 02:30:05,096
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA 

4846
02:30:05,096 --> 02:30:07,798
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. ANY FOLLOW

4847
02:30:07,798 --> 02:30:08,099
UP CLOSING? 

4848
02:30:08,099 --> 02:30:10,735
-- YES. THANK YOU. COUNCIL 

4849
02:30:10,735 --> 02:30:13,671
PRESIDENT, AGAIN, THE FOCUS ON 

4850
02:30:13,671 --> 02:30:16,173
THIS ONE WAS PRIMARILY RELATED 

4851
02:30:16,173 --> 02:30:21,379
TO THE LOYALTY PROGRAMS AND YOU 

4852
02:30:21,379 --> 02:30:22,446
KNOW, AND MY CONCERN FOR EVERY 

4853
02:30:22,446 --> 02:30:24,415
ACTION, THERE'S A REACTION. AND

4854
02:30:24,415 --> 02:30:26,283
AS I STATED AT THE BEGINNING OF 

4855
02:30:26,283 --> 02:30:27,051
MY REMARKS, I TALKED ABOUT, YOU 

4856
02:30:27,051 --> 02:30:29,387
KNOW, ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS AND 

4857
02:30:29,387 --> 02:30:30,488
ACROSS THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, FROM

4858
02:30:30,488 --> 02:30:33,557
ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER. AND, YOU 

4859
02:30:33,557 --> 02:30:34,725
KNOW, IN THIS EXCHANGE, IT KIND 

4860
02:30:34,725 --> 02:30:35,993
OF HIGHLIGHTS WE ALMOST NEED 

4861
02:30:35,993 --> 02:30:37,628
ANOTHER COMMITTEE MEETING AND 

4862
02:30:37,628 --> 02:30:39,463
HAVE THE VARIOUS GROCERIES FROM 

4863
02:30:39,463 --> 02:30:40,398
SMALL SCALES, LIKE I TALKED TO 

4864
02:30:40,398 --> 02:30:42,900
LAST NIGHT, TO THE BIGGER 

4865
02:30:42,900 --> 02:30:44,502
SAFEWAY QFC, THE KROGER, THE 

4866
02:30:44,502 --> 02:30:48,672
ALBERTSONS, THE MIX TO SPEAK TO 

4867
02:30:48,672 --> 02:30:52,843
THIS POINT, BECAUSE I THINK IT 

4868
02:30:52,843 --> 02:30:55,112
WOULD BE INSIGHTFUL. AND THAT'S

4869
02:30:55,112 --> 02:30:57,314
THE REASON WHY THIS AMENDMENT 

4870
02:30:57,314 --> 02:30:59,316
WAS OFFERED. AGAIN, IT'S THAT 

4871
02:30:59,316 --> 02:31:01,719
AND MY CONCERNS AND THEN THE 

4872
02:31:01,719 --> 02:31:02,887
AFFORDABILITY IMPACTS WHEN THOSE

4873
02:31:02,887 --> 02:31:05,089
GO AWAY ON THOSE THAT RELY ON 

4874
02:31:05,089 --> 02:31:06,624
THEM. SO WITH THAT, I ASK FOR 

4875
02:31:06,624 --> 02:31:09,393
YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. 

4876
02:31:09,393 --> 02:31:09,960
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

4877
02:31:09,960 --> 02:31:12,329
KETTLE COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA

WELL, THE CLERK THANK YOU. WILL 

4880
02:31:15,232 --> 02:31:16,400
THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL 

4881
02:31:16,400 --> 02:31:20,604
ON ADOPTION OF AMENDMENT C. 

4882
02:31:20,604 --> 02:31:21,105
-- COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. 

4883
02:31:21,105 --> 02:31:24,642

-- THANK YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

4901
02:31:54,405 --> 02:31:56,006
I MOVE TO AMEND COUNCIL BILL

02:31:56,006 --> 02:31:58,409

4905
02:31:59,844 --> 02:32:01,011
SECOND, TO AMEND THE BILL AS 

4906
02:32:01,011 --> 02:32:03,481
PRESENTED ON AMENDMENT D 

4907
02:32:03,481 --> 02:32:04,114
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE AS SPONSOR,

4908
02:32:04,114 --> 02:32:05,149
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED TO ADDRESS 

4909
02:32:05,149 --> 02:32:06,183
YOUR AMENDMENT. 

4910
02:32:06,183 --> 02:32:06,817
-- COLLEAGUES. THIS IS SIMPLE. 

4911
02:32:06,817 --> 02:32:08,719
IT'S JUST A TECHNICAL FIX. 

4912
02:32:08,719 --> 02:32:09,386
IT'S ABOUT KEEPING IT SIMPLE. 

4913
02:32:09,386 --> 02:32:11,722
IT'S ABOUT KEEPING IT FOCUSED. 

4914
02:32:11,722 --> 02:32:13,724
AND BY DOING SO, I THINK IT WILL

4915
02:32:13,724 --> 02:32:17,194
AVOID CHALLENGES IN THE FUTURE. 

4916
02:32:17,194 --> 02:32:18,529
SO WITH THAT, COLLEAGUES, I ASK 

4917
02:32:18,529 --> 02:32:24,301
FOR YOUR SUPPORT. 

4918
02:32:24,301 --> 02:32:24,869
-- THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

4919
02:32:24,869 --> 02:32:27,972
KETTLE. WE'LL GO TO TOMMASO TO 

4920
02:32:27,972 --> 02:32:29,039
TALK ABOUT THE AMENDMENT REAL 

4921
02:32:29,039 --> 02:32:29,673
QUICK AND SEE IF COUNCILMEMBERS 

4922
02:32:29,673 --> 02:32:31,775
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. 

4923
02:32:31,775 --> 02:32:33,744
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

4924
02:32:33,744 --> 02:32:35,646
SO AMENDMENT D, THIS AMENDMENT 

4925
02:32:35,646 --> 02:32:38,182
WOULD CLARIFY THAT AN ELECTRONIC

4926
02:32:38,182 --> 02:32:39,350
SHELF LABEL SYSTEM, WHICH IS A 

4927
02:32:39,350 --> 02:32:40,818
TERM DEFINED IN THE BILL, MEANS 

4928
02:32:40,818 --> 02:32:42,119
ANY HARDWARE, SOFTWARE OR 

4929
02:32:42,119 --> 02:32:43,654
CONNECTED TECHNOLOGY USED TO 

4930
02:32:43,654 --> 02:32:45,656
DISPLAY OR UPDATE PRICES 

4931
02:32:45,656 --> 02:32:47,324
ELECTRONICALLY. AND IT WOULD ADD

4932
02:32:47,324 --> 02:32:50,161
THE WORDS AT THE SHELF RATHER 

4933
02:32:50,161 --> 02:32:51,795
THAN DEFINITION THAT COULD BE 

4934
02:32:51,795 --> 02:32:54,365
INTERPRETED POTENTIALLY TO 

4935
02:32:54,365 --> 02:32:54,965
DEFINE ELECTRONIC SHELF LABEL 

4936
02:32:54,965 --> 02:32:56,400
SYSTEM NOT CONNECTED TO A 

4937
02:32:56,400 --> 02:32:58,435
PHYSICAL SHELF. BECAUSE THE 

4938
02:32:58,435 --> 02:32:59,837
PROHIBITION ON THE USE OF 

4939
02:32:59,837 --> 02:33:00,437
ELECTRONIC SHELF LABEL ONLY 

4940
02:33:00,437 --> 02:33:02,473
APPLIES TO GOODS WHERE COVERED 

4941
02:33:02,473 --> 02:33:04,842
RETAIL IS COVERED, RETAILER IS 

4942
02:33:04,842 --> 02:33:06,944
PROHIBITED FROM USING 

4943
02:33:06,944 --> 02:33:07,444
ALGORITHMIC-BASED PRICE 

4944
02:33:07,444 --> 02:33:08,746
DISCRIMINATION TO SET PRICES. 

4945
02:33:08,746 --> 02:33:11,048
THIS AMENDMENT WOULD NOT 

4946
02:33:11,048 --> 02:33:12,550
SUBSTANTIVELY IMPACT THE 

4947
02:33:12,550 --> 02:33:13,050
OBLIGATIONS OF COVERED 

4948
02:33:13,050 --> 02:33:14,618
RETAILERS. ANOTHER WAY TO SAY 

4949
02:33:14,618 --> 02:33:17,988
THAT IS IF A RETAILER WAS ALL IN

4950
02:33:17,988 --> 02:33:24,161
ORDER TO TO TO VIOLATE THIS 

4951
02:33:24,161 --> 02:33:27,598
PROHIBITION, THEY WOULD ALREADY 

4952
02:33:27,598 --> 02:33:28,232
BE ENGAGING IN ALGORITHMIC-BASED

4953
02:33:28,232 --> 02:33:30,267
PRICE DISCRIMINATION, WHICH IS 

4954
02:33:30,267 --> 02:33:30,868
PROHIBITED IN THE UNDERLYING 

4955
02:33:30,868 --> 02:33:34,271
BILL. SO ONCE AGAIN, THIS THIS 

4956
02:33:34,271 --> 02:33:35,873
AMENDMENT JUST ADDS THE WORDS AT

4957
02:33:35,873 --> 02:33:38,709
THE SHELF TO THAT DEFINITION. 

4958
02:33:38,709 --> 02:33:40,411
-- THANK YOU. TOMMASO. 

4959
02:33:40,411 --> 02:33:43,180
COLLEAGUES, ARE THERE ANY 

4960
02:33:43,180 --> 02:33:46,050
QUESTIONS REGARDING AMENDMENT D 

4961
02:33:46,050 --> 02:33:49,687
COUNCIL BILL 121267. 

4962
02:33:49,687 --> 02:33:50,154
COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. 

4963
02:33:50,154 --> 02:33:51,255
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

4964
02:33:51,255 --> 02:33:54,592
JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION. I MEAN,

4965
02:33:54,592 --> 02:33:58,596
DOES THIS IN EFFECT BANNED 

4966
02:33:58,596 --> 02:34:01,131
ELECTRONIC SHELF LABELS? 

4967
02:34:01,131 --> 02:34:04,368
-- IT DOES. THE THE UNDERLYING 

4968
02:34:04,368 --> 02:34:06,370
BILL AND THIS THIS AMENDMENT, 

4969
02:34:06,370 --> 02:34:07,805
NEITHER OF THOSE IS AN OUTRIGHT 

4970
02:34:07,805 --> 02:34:09,640
BAN ON THE USE OF ELECTRONIC 

4971
02:34:09,640 --> 02:34:12,810
SHELF LABELS. THERE. IT IS A. 

4972
02:34:12,810 --> 02:34:15,145
THE BILL BANS THE USE OF 

4973
02:34:15,145 --> 02:34:17,314
ELECTRONIC SHELF LABELS TO 

4974
02:34:17,314 --> 02:34:19,049
ENGAGE IN ALGORITHMIC-BASED 

4975
02:34:19,049 --> 02:34:21,719
PRICE DISCRIMINATION. SO 

4976
02:34:21,719 --> 02:34:23,821
ELECTRONIC SHELF LABEL MAY BE 

4977
02:34:23,821 --> 02:34:26,023
USED IF IT IS NOT BEING USED FOR

4978
02:34:26,023 --> 02:34:28,192
A PROHIBITED PRACTICE OF 

4979
02:34:28,192 --> 02:34:28,692
ALGORITHMIC-BASED PRICE 

4980
02:34:28,692 --> 02:34:30,160
DISCRIMINATION AND THE AMENDMENT

4981
02:34:30,160 --> 02:34:31,428
WOULD CHANGE THAT. 

4982
02:34:31,428 --> 02:34:33,230
-- THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING, 

4983
02:34:33,230 --> 02:34:34,198

AMENDMENT D BEFORE I TURN IT

4990
02:34:41,805 --> 02:34:43,340

02:35:29,253 --> 02:35:29,720
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE.

-- YES, THANK YOU, COUNCIL 

5019
02:35:30,587 --> 02:35:32,456
PRESIDENT. I MOVE TO AMEND 

5020
02:35:32,456 --> 02:35:34,725
COUNCIL BILL 121267 IS PRESENTED

5021
02:35:34,725 --> 02:35:36,927
ON AMENDMENT E ECHO. 

5022
02:35:36,927 --> 02:35:39,063
-- SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED. AND

5023
02:35:39,063 --> 02:35:41,165
SECOND, TO AMEND THE BILL AS 

5024
02:35:41,165 --> 02:35:41,965
PRESENTED ON AMENDMENT E CENTRAL

5025
02:35:41,965 --> 02:35:43,801
STAFF, WILL YOU PLEASE PROVIDE 

5026
02:35:43,801 --> 02:35:45,302
OVERVIEW ON AMENDMENT AND THEN I

5027
02:35:45,302 --> 02:35:48,539
WILL JUMP TO COUNCILMEMBER 

5028
02:35:48,539 --> 02:35:49,039
KETTLE AS THE SPONSOR. 

5029
02:35:49,039 --> 02:35:50,841
-- YES, THIS AMENDMENT WOULD 

5030
02:35:50,841 --> 02:35:53,510
MAKE TWO CHANGES. THE TERM THREE

5031
02:35:53,510 --> 02:35:54,578
YEARS USED TWICE IN THE BILL 

5032
02:35:54,578 --> 02:35:56,613
WOULD BE SUBSTITUTED FOR ONE 

5033
02:35:56,613 --> 02:35:59,483
YEAR. THE AREAS OF THE 

5034
02:35:59,483 --> 02:36:00,818
LEGISLATION WHERE THAT CHANGE 

5035
02:36:00,818 --> 02:36:04,621
WOULD BE EFFECTUATED WOULD BE 

5036
02:36:04,621 --> 02:36:06,490
THE REQUIREMENT TO RETAIN 

5037
02:36:06,490 --> 02:36:08,659
COVERED RETAILER RECORDS. SO THE

5038
02:36:08,659 --> 02:36:10,027
CURRENT BILL REQUIRES RECORDS TO

5039
02:36:10,027 --> 02:36:10,894
BE RETAINED FOR THREE YEARS. 

5040
02:36:10,894 --> 02:36:12,496
THIS AMENDMENT WOULD CHANGE THAT

5041
02:36:12,496 --> 02:36:14,865
REQUIREMENT TO ONE YEAR. 

5042
02:36:14,865 --> 02:36:18,902
SECONDLY, THE BILL WOULD ALSO 

5043
02:36:18,902 --> 02:36:20,637
REQUIRE THAT THE AMENDMENT 

5044
02:36:20,637 --> 02:36:22,439
RATHER WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THAT A

5045
02:36:22,439 --> 02:36:23,974
PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION, A CIVIL

5046
02:36:23,974 --> 02:36:25,809
ACTION UNDERTAKEN UNDER THE 

5047
02:36:25,809 --> 02:36:26,577
BILL'S PRIVATE RIGHT ACTION, 

5048
02:36:26,577 --> 02:36:29,613
NEED TO BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE 

5049
02:36:29,613 --> 02:36:31,181
YEAR OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION. 

5050
02:36:31,181 --> 02:36:32,382
THE CURRENT LANGUAGE IS THREE 

5051
02:36:32,382 --> 02:36:34,752
YEARS, SO IT WOULD REDUCE THAT 

5052
02:36:34,752 --> 02:36:36,453
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, PERIOD, 

5053
02:36:36,453 --> 02:36:39,223
SO TO SPEAK, TO ONE YEAR FROM 

5054
02:36:39,223 --> 02:36:39,556
THREE YEARS. 

5055
02:36:39,556 --> 02:36:40,691
-- THANK YOU. TOMASO 

5056
02:36:40,691 --> 02:36:42,025
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, YOU ARE 

5057
02:36:42,025 --> 02:36:43,260
RECOGNIZED TO TALK ABOUT YOUR 

5058
02:36:43,260 --> 02:36:43,560
AMENDMENT. 

5059
02:36:43,560 --> 02:36:45,129
-- THANK YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

5060
02:36:45,129 --> 02:36:49,967
THIS RELATES TO, YOU KNOW, 

5061
02:36:49,967 --> 02:36:52,870
GOVERNMENT IN THIS CASE THROUGH 

5062
02:36:52,870 --> 02:36:53,337
REGULATION IMPACTING 

5063
02:36:53,337 --> 02:36:55,105
AFFORDABILITY AND THROUGH THE 

5064
02:36:55,105 --> 02:36:58,008
INCREASING COSTS AND THIS 

5065
02:36:58,008 --> 02:36:59,176
AMENDMENT WOULD CHANGE IT, BUT 

5066
02:36:59,176 --> 02:37:00,611
THEN IT WOULD DO SO IN A WAY 

5067
02:37:00,611 --> 02:37:03,914
THAT IT WOULD JUST REDUCE THE 

5068
02:37:03,914 --> 02:37:06,650
THE LIKELIHOOD OF THESE COSTS 

5069
02:37:06,650 --> 02:37:09,420
BEING TRANSFERRED TO THE AVERAGE

5070
02:37:09,420 --> 02:37:11,655
PERSON, TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE 

5071
02:37:11,655 --> 02:37:13,791
SHOPPING AT THESE LOCATIONS. AND

5072
02:37:13,791 --> 02:37:15,259
AND THAT'S MY CONCERN. THIS 

5073
02:37:15,259 --> 02:37:16,593
THIS COMES BACK TO LIKE ACTUALLY

5074
02:37:16,593 --> 02:37:17,227
ALL THESE AMENDMENTS COME BACK 

5075
02:37:17,227 --> 02:37:19,563
TO THE AFFORDABILITY QUESTION. 

5076
02:37:19,563 --> 02:37:21,064
AND, YOU KNOW, IT IS JUST A 

5077
02:37:21,064 --> 02:37:23,834
MATTER OF FACT HOW THIS WILL BE 

5078
02:37:23,834 --> 02:37:25,936
DONE. AND THIS IS WHY ECONOMICS 

5079
02:37:25,936 --> 02:37:27,971
IS A SCIENCE. SO THANK YOU. 

5080
02:37:27,971 --> 02:37:30,007
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

5081
02:37:30,007 --> 02:37:32,910
KETTLE COLLEAGUES, ARE THERE ANY

5082
02:37:32,910 --> 02:37:37,714
OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT AMENDMENT 

5083
02:37:37,714 --> 02:37:38,348
E? 

5084
02:37:38,348 --> 02:37:38,949
-- COUNCILMEMBER RINCK THANK. 

5085
02:37:38,949 --> 02:37:40,751
-- YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT JUST 

5086
02:37:40,751 --> 02:37:42,853
ONE QUICK QUESTION ON THIS ONE. 

5087
02:37:42,853 --> 02:37:46,223
AND TO PUT US IN ANOTHER 

5088
02:37:46,223 --> 02:37:46,757
HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO. SO 

5089
02:37:46,757 --> 02:37:48,158
QUESTION FOR TOMASO. SUPPOSE A 

5090
02:37:48,158 --> 02:37:50,027
SHOPPER LEARNS MORE THAN A YEAR 

5091
02:37:50,027 --> 02:37:51,829
AFTER A PURCHASE THAT THEIR 

5092
02:37:51,829 --> 02:37:54,031
PERSONAL INFORMATION WAS USED TO

5093
02:37:54,031 --> 02:37:56,600
DETERMINE THEIR PRICE. SO WHAT 

5094
02:37:56,600 --> 02:37:58,802
RECOURSE UNDER THE ORDINANCE, AS

5095
02:37:58,802 --> 02:38:01,004
IS, DOES THE SHOPPER HAVE AND 

5096
02:38:01,004 --> 02:38:03,841
RETAIN. AND THEN WHERE DOES THIS

5097
02:38:03,841 --> 02:38:07,544
AMENDMENT, IF APPROVED, PRESERVE

5098
02:38:07,544 --> 02:38:11,248
IT? 

5099
02:38:11,248 --> 02:38:14,685
-- SO IF THIS AMENDMENT WERE TO 

5100
02:38:14,685 --> 02:38:17,321
PASS VIOLATIONS THAT OCCURRED 

5101
02:38:17,321 --> 02:38:21,225
MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER, OR MORE 

5102
02:38:21,225 --> 02:38:22,860
THAN A YEAR PRIOR WOULD NOT BE 

5103
02:38:22,860 --> 02:38:23,861
THE PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION, 

5104
02:38:23,861 --> 02:38:26,163
WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO 

5105
02:38:26,163 --> 02:38:27,764
ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THOSE. IT 

5106
02:38:27,764 --> 02:38:31,168
WOULD. THIS AMENDMENT WOULDN'T 

5107
02:38:31,168 --> 02:38:32,302
CHANGE THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY

5108
02:38:32,302 --> 02:38:35,806
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO ENFORCE 

5109
02:38:35,806 --> 02:38:38,475
VIOLATIONS, TO INVESTIGATE AND 

5110
02:38:38,475 --> 02:38:39,877
ENFORCE THE LAW. SO IT WOULDN'T

5111
02:38:39,877 --> 02:38:41,512
IT WOULDN'T CHANGE THE ABILITY,

5112
02:38:41,512 --> 02:38:43,146
THEORETICALLY, OF THE CITY 

5113
02:38:43,146 --> 02:38:44,815
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO PURSUE 

5114
02:38:44,815 --> 02:38:47,317
VIOLATIONS, BUT IT WOULD MAKE 

5115
02:38:47,317 --> 02:38:51,321
THE PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION 

5116
02:38:51,321 --> 02:38:51,755
LIKELY UNAVAILABLE. 

5117
02:38:51,755 --> 02:38:52,623
-- UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU FOR 

5118
02:38:52,623 --> 02:38:53,924
THAT RESPONSE, TOMASO. 

5119
02:38:53,924 --> 02:38:56,393
COLLEAGUES, I'LL JUST QUICKLY 

5120
02:38:56,393 --> 02:38:57,528
NOTE THAT THIS IS THIS WOULD BE 

5121
02:38:57,528 --> 02:39:02,499
A NEW POLICY FOR THE CITY AS WE 

5122
02:39:02,499 --> 02:39:04,735
EMBARK ON ENFORCEMENT. I BELIEVE

5123
02:39:04,735 --> 02:39:06,603
IT IS INCUMBENT UPON US TO ALLOW

5124
02:39:06,603 --> 02:39:08,305
OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS TO 

5125
02:39:08,305 --> 02:39:09,706
UNDERSTAND THE LEGISLATION, GET 

5126
02:39:09,706 --> 02:39:11,775
AMPLE TIME TO BE ABLE TO PURSUE 

5127
02:39:11,775 --> 02:39:14,144
A PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION AS WE 

5128
02:39:14,144 --> 02:39:17,648
CONTINUE OUR EDUCATION EFFORTS 

5129
02:39:17,648 --> 02:39:18,949
ON THE THE RECOURSE OPTIONS THAT

5130
02:39:18,949 --> 02:39:20,951
FOLKS MAY HAVE. AND SO FOR THOSE

5131
02:39:20,951 --> 02:39:22,519
REASONS, I BELIEVE PRESERVING 

5132
02:39:22,519 --> 02:39:23,820
THE PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION 

5133
02:39:23,820 --> 02:39:24,988
LANGUAGE AS IS AND ALLOWING A 

5134
02:39:24,988 --> 02:39:26,456
LONGER TIMELINE IS REALLY 

5135
02:39:26,456 --> 02:39:27,090
IMPORTANT. AND I ASK FOR A NO 

5136
02:39:27,090 --> 02:39:29,259
VOTE ON THIS AMENDMENT. 

5137
02:39:29,259 --> 02:39:31,862
-- THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

5138
02:39:31,862 --> 02:39:32,763
RINCK. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. AND

5139
02:39:32,763 --> 02:39:34,464
THEN WE'LL GO TO COUNCILMEMBER 

5140
02:39:34,464 --> 02:39:37,801
KETTLE FOR FINAL COMMENTS. 

5141
02:39:37,801 --> 02:39:38,435
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT 

5142
02:39:38,435 --> 02:39:40,237
TOMASO. SO I'M AWARE THAT 

5143
02:39:40,237 --> 02:39:44,508
THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER CITIES, 

5144
02:39:44,508 --> 02:39:46,643
I DON'T KNOW, TWO OR 3 OR 4 

5145
02:39:46,643 --> 02:39:50,080
THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERING 

5146
02:39:50,080 --> 02:39:52,549
SURVEILLANCE, PRICING 

5147
02:39:52,549 --> 02:39:53,984
LEGISLATION. I KNOW ONE SUCH 

5148
02:39:53,984 --> 02:39:56,954
CITY, NEW YORK, ACTUALLY PASSED 

5149
02:39:56,954 --> 02:39:57,921
THE LEGISLATURE, THE STATE 

5150
02:39:57,921 --> 02:39:59,222
LEGISLATURE. IT WAS BROUGHT AT 

5151
02:39:59,222 --> 02:40:00,991
THE STATE LEVEL, NOT AT THE 

5152
02:40:00,991 --> 02:40:04,628
LOCAL LEVEL. I BELIEVE THAT WAS 

5153
02:40:04,628 --> 02:40:05,896
FOR UNIFORMITY, BECAUSE IF WE 

5154
02:40:05,896 --> 02:40:08,765
PASS THIS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND

5155
02:40:08,765 --> 02:40:10,667
A DIFFERENT CITY IN THE STATE 

5156
02:40:10,667 --> 02:40:12,669
DOESN'T, AND NOW WE HAVE 

5157
02:40:12,669 --> 02:40:14,538
GROCERY STORES WHO WE KNOW ARE 

5158
02:40:14,538 --> 02:40:17,274
ACROSS ALL THE CITIES MAYBE 

5159
02:40:17,274 --> 02:40:19,376
OFFERING LOYALTY PROGRAMS IN ONE

5160
02:40:19,376 --> 02:40:22,379
CITY, BUT MAYBE NOT OURS. WE 

5161
02:40:22,379 --> 02:40:24,548
DON'T KNOW. WE'RE ALL 

5162
02:40:24,548 --> 02:40:26,049
SPECULATING HERE, BUT I DO KNOW 

5163
02:40:26,049 --> 02:40:28,318
THAT WHEN NEW YORK PASSED THIS, 

5164
02:40:28,318 --> 02:40:29,753
IT HASN'T BEEN SIGNED BY THE 

5165
02:40:29,753 --> 02:40:32,022
GOVERNOR. BUT WHEN IT PASSED 

5166
02:40:32,022 --> 02:40:32,889
THIS LEGISLATION, THERE WAS NO 

5167
02:40:32,889 --> 02:40:34,691
PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION 

5168
02:40:34,691 --> 02:40:39,463
ATTACHED. AND THAT IS A POLICY 

5169
02:40:39,463 --> 02:40:40,697
CHOICE TO MAKE. CAN YOU TALK A 

5170
02:40:40,697 --> 02:40:46,203
LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY THAT POLICY

5171
02:40:46,203 --> 02:40:47,904
CHOICE WAS MADE VERSUS ALLOWING 

5172
02:40:47,904 --> 02:40:51,308
THE CITY TO BRING ACTION ON 

5173
02:40:51,308 --> 02:40:54,845
BEHALF OF, YOU KNOW, LIKE IN A 

5174
02:40:54,845 --> 02:40:56,713
SIMILAR FASHION, LIKE OLS DOES 

5175
02:40:56,713 --> 02:41:01,018
FOR OTHER BUSINESS PRACTICES? 

5176
02:41:01,018 --> 02:41:02,686
-- THANKS, COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA 

5177
02:41:02,686 --> 02:41:08,158
FOR THAT QUESTION. SO. YES, THE,

5178
02:41:08,158 --> 02:41:10,560
THE OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT 

5179
02:41:10,560 --> 02:41:11,128
HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REGULATE 

5180
02:41:11,128 --> 02:41:15,966
SURVEILLANCE PRICING, GENERALLY 

5181
02:41:15,966 --> 02:41:17,901
SPEAKING. ALMOST ALL, IF NOT ALL

5182
02:41:17,901 --> 02:41:19,736
OF ALL OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN 

5183
02:41:19,736 --> 02:41:25,375
ENACTED ARE STATE LEVEL 

5184
02:41:25,375 --> 02:41:26,009
REGULATIONS. I BELIEVE THE OTHER

5185
02:41:26,009 --> 02:41:27,644
MUNICIPALITY THAT IS CONSIDERING

5186
02:41:27,644 --> 02:41:29,279
THIS IS PORTLAND, BUT I DON'T 

5187
02:41:29,279 --> 02:41:32,249
BELIEVE THEY'VE ACTED ON THEIR 

5188
02:41:32,249 --> 02:41:32,749
LEGISLATION. THE OTHER 

5189
02:41:32,749 --> 02:41:33,483
JURISDICTIONS THAT I'M AWARE OF

5190
02:41:33,483 --> 02:41:35,085
THAT HAVE TAKEN ACTION ON THIS 

5191
02:41:35,085 --> 02:41:41,691
ARE STATE LEVEL. THE PRIMARY 

5192
02:41:41,691 --> 02:41:42,325
ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM FOR THOSE 

5193
02:41:42,325 --> 02:41:45,095
OTHER STATES IS INVESTIGATION 

5194
02:41:45,095 --> 02:41:47,464
AND ENFORCEMENT BY THE STATE 

5195
02:41:47,464 --> 02:41:49,766
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. I 

5196
02:41:49,766 --> 02:41:53,870
BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE CORRECT. I,

5197
02:41:53,870 --> 02:41:56,306
I DON'T KNOW, FOR 100% 

5198
02:41:56,306 --> 02:41:57,841
CERTAINTY, BUT I'M NOT AWARE OF

5199
02:41:57,841 --> 02:41:59,376
OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE AT

5200
02:41:59,376 --> 02:42:00,777
THE STATE LEVEL THAT HAVE 

5201
02:42:00,777 --> 02:42:01,578
INCLUDED PRIVATE, PRIVATE RIGHTS

5202
02:42:01,578 --> 02:42:04,047
OF ACTION. I THINK THEY'RE 

5203
02:42:04,047 --> 02:42:06,750
PRIMARILY ATTORNEY, STATE 

5204
02:42:06,750 --> 02:42:08,552
ATTORNEY GENERAL ENFORCEMENT. I 

5205
02:42:08,552 --> 02:42:10,987
DON'T HAVE INFORMATION TO SPEAK

5206
02:42:10,987 --> 02:42:13,090
TO. WHY NEW YORK OR OTHER STATES

5207
02:42:13,090 --> 02:42:15,025
DIDN'T PURSUE ADDING A PRIVATE 

5208
02:42:15,025 --> 02:42:17,561
RIGHT OF ACTION, OR WHETHER THAT

5209
02:42:17,561 --> 02:42:19,930
WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS 

5210
02:42:19,930 --> 02:42:21,498
CONSIDERED. AND THEN DROPPED. I 

5211
02:42:21,498 --> 02:42:23,033
THINK, GENERALLY SPEAKING, AT 

5212
02:42:23,033 --> 02:42:25,502
THE STATE LEVEL, THE STATE 

5213
02:42:25,502 --> 02:42:30,207
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICES ARE 

5214
02:42:30,207 --> 02:42:33,310
ENTITIES THAT ARE GENERALLY MORE

5215
02:42:33,310 --> 02:42:34,811
WELL RESOURCED OR MORE WELL 

5216
02:42:34,811 --> 02:42:37,814
RESOURCED THAN OUR CITY 

5217
02:42:37,814 --> 02:42:38,482
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO UNDERTAKE 

5218
02:42:38,482 --> 02:42:39,850
THESE TYPES OF INVESTIGATIONS. 

5219
02:42:39,850 --> 02:42:41,118
CONSUMER REGULATORY 

5220
02:42:41,118 --> 02:42:44,020
INVESTIGATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT 

5221
02:42:44,020 --> 02:42:45,889
ACTIONS. THAT'S TRUE, AT LEAST 

5222
02:42:45,889 --> 02:42:50,193
IN OUR STATE. SO I CAN'T SPEAK 

5223
02:42:50,193 --> 02:42:53,964
TO WHY THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE 

5224
02:42:53,964 --> 02:42:54,598
PRIVATE RIGHTS OF ACTION. BUT I 

5225
02:42:54,598 --> 02:42:55,999
DO KNOW THAT THE PRIMARY 

5226
02:42:55,999 --> 02:42:56,633
ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM IN OTHER 

5227
02:42:56,633 --> 02:42:58,435
JURISDICTIONS IS IS STATE 

5228
02:42:58,435 --> 02:43:02,272
ATTORNEY GENERAL 

5229
02:43:02,272 --> 02:43:02,906
-- THANK YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

5230
02:43:02,906 --> 02:43:06,977
IF I MAY ASK A FOLLOW UP 

5231
02:43:06,977 --> 02:43:11,281
QUESTION. SO AT THE STATE LEVEL,

5232
02:43:11,281 --> 02:43:11,748
THIS HAS PASSED OTHER 

5233
02:43:11,748 --> 02:43:12,482
JURISDICTIONS AT THE STATE 

5234
02:43:12,482 --> 02:43:15,485
LEVEL. SO I UNDERSTAND YOU 

5235
02:43:15,485 --> 02:43:16,987
DON'T KNOW WHY THE PRIVATE 

5236
02:43:16,987 --> 02:43:18,355
RIGHT OF ACTION WAS INCLUDED 

5237
02:43:18,355 --> 02:43:20,423
HERE. I, TOO, DID SOME RESEARCH 

5238
02:43:20,423 --> 02:43:23,059
AND AND LIKE YOU FOUND THAT THE 

5239
02:43:23,059 --> 02:43:25,996
OTHER JURISDICTIONS HAVE PASSED 

5240
02:43:25,996 --> 02:43:28,565
THIS AT THE STATE LEVEL, WHICH 

5241
02:43:28,565 --> 02:43:29,199
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PORTLAND, 

5242
02:43:29,199 --> 02:43:32,636
AS YOU SAY, BUT THEY HAVEN'T 

5243
02:43:32,636 --> 02:43:38,008
MOVED FORWARD WITH IT YET. BUT 

5244
02:43:38,008 --> 02:43:39,609
IN TERMS OF PROCEEDING AT THE 

5245
02:43:39,609 --> 02:43:42,312
STATE LEVEL VERSUS AT THE LOCAL 

5246
02:43:42,312 --> 02:43:44,614
LEVEL, YOU KNOW, THOSE OTHER 

5247
02:43:44,614 --> 02:43:48,718
STATES DID DO IT AT THE STATE 

5248
02:43:48,718 --> 02:43:49,286
LEVEL VERSUS THE MUNICIPAL 

5249
02:43:49,286 --> 02:43:53,490
LEVEL. SO WAS THERE A REASON WHY

5250
02:43:53,490 --> 02:43:55,325
THIS LEGISLATION WAS PURSUED AT 

5251
02:43:55,325 --> 02:43:56,293
THE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL? AS I 

5252
02:43:56,293 --> 02:43:57,661
SAID EARLIER, IT DOES HAVE AN 

5253
02:43:57,661 --> 02:44:00,463
IMPACT ON OTHER CITIES. AND 

5254
02:44:00,463 --> 02:44:02,966
THEN, YOU KNOW, STATE FOLKS 

5255
02:44:02,966 --> 02:44:04,134
BEING TREATED DIFFERENTLY 

5256
02:44:04,134 --> 02:44:05,602
DEPENDING ON THE STATE THAT 

5257
02:44:05,602 --> 02:44:07,037
THEY'RE EXCUSE ME, THE CITY THAT

5258
02:44:07,037 --> 02:44:09,673
THEY LIVE IN. THEY POTENTIALLY 

5259
02:44:09,673 --> 02:44:11,474
COULD, INCLUDING THINGS MIGHT BE

5260
02:44:11,474 --> 02:44:12,776
MORE EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE IN 

5261
02:44:12,776 --> 02:44:14,344
SEATTLE, THINGS ARE ALREADY MORE

5262
02:44:14,344 --> 02:44:15,145
EXPENSIVE IN SEATTLE. THIS COULD

5263
02:44:15,145 --> 02:44:20,050
LEAD TO EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE IN 

5264
02:44:20,050 --> 02:44:21,885
SEATTLE THAN GROCERIES AND OTHER

5265
02:44:21,885 --> 02:44:24,254
CITIES, WHICH COULD ALSO THEN 

5266
02:44:24,254 --> 02:44:26,523
IMPACT GROCERS, WHETHER THEY 

5267
02:44:26,523 --> 02:44:27,891
OPEN MORE GROCERY STORES IN OUR 

5268
02:44:27,891 --> 02:44:29,860
CITY. AND WE ALREADY HAVE MANY 

5269
02:44:29,860 --> 02:44:32,929
NEIGHBORHOODS OF FOOD DESERTS IN

5270
02:44:32,929 --> 02:44:35,065
OUR CITY, ARE YOU ABLE TO ANSWER

5271
02:44:35,065 --> 02:44:36,766
THE STATE VERSUS WHY WE DECIDED 

5272
02:44:36,766 --> 02:44:38,635
TO DO THIS AT THE MUNICIPAL 

5273
02:44:38,635 --> 02:44:40,103
LEVEL? BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE 

5274
02:44:40,103 --> 02:44:43,006
ANSWER I HAD POSED EARLIER, AND 

5275
02:44:43,006 --> 02:44:49,045
I'M NOT CLEAR 

5276
02:44:49,045 --> 02:44:49,679
-- I WOULD I WOULD DEFER TO THE 

5277
02:44:49,679 --> 02:44:51,615
SPONSOR AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE 

5278
02:44:51,615 --> 02:44:53,917
ABOUT THE THE REASONS THAT 

5279
02:44:53,917 --> 02:44:55,785
CERTAIN DECISIONS WERE WERE MADE

5280
02:44:55,785 --> 02:44:57,487
TO PURSUE THIS OR INCLUDE 

5281
02:44:57,487 --> 02:44:58,755
CERTAIN POLICY COMPONENTS. MY 

5282
02:44:58,755 --> 02:45:00,423
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE WAS 

5283
02:45:00,423 --> 02:45:05,729
AN EFFORT TO ADDRESS THIS 

5284
02:45:05,729 --> 02:45:08,431
PRACTICE AT THE STATE LEVEL IN 

5285
02:45:08,431 --> 02:45:09,065
THE WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE

5286
02:45:09,065 --> 02:45:13,637
THIS PAST SESSION. THE EFFORT 

5287
02:45:13,637 --> 02:45:16,239
WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, AND THAT IS IN

5288
02:45:16,239 --> 02:45:18,241
IN LARGE PART, WHY WE'RE HERE 

5289
02:45:18,241 --> 02:45:20,410
TODAY. SHOULD THAT HAVE BEEN 

5290
02:45:20,410 --> 02:45:21,878
SUCCESSFUL? I DON'T KNOW THAT WE

5291
02:45:21,878 --> 02:45:24,347
WOULD BE SEEING A SEATTLE 

5292
02:45:24,347 --> 02:45:26,149
MUNICIPAL LEVEL REGULATION. WE 

5293
02:45:26,149 --> 02:45:29,419
MIGHT STILL. BUT IN TERMS OF THE

5294
02:45:29,419 --> 02:45:30,053
PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION, ONCE 

5295
02:45:30,053 --> 02:45:32,055
AGAIN, I THINK I WOULD I WOULD 

5296
02:45:32,055 --> 02:45:33,490
DEFER TO THE SPONSOR IN TERMS OF

5297
02:45:33,490 --> 02:45:34,824
THE REASON WHY THAT POLICY 

5298
02:45:34,824 --> 02:45:37,494
CHOICE WAS MADE. I'LL JUST SAY 

5299
02:45:37,494 --> 02:45:38,795
THAT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT

5300
02:45:38,795 --> 02:45:41,932
WAS INCLUDED IN ORDER TO TRY TO 

5301
02:45:41,932 --> 02:45:46,770
CREATE THE MOST ROBUST POSSIBLE 

5302
02:45:46,770 --> 02:45:50,774
ENFORCEMENT STRUCTURE TO GIVE, 

5303
02:45:50,774 --> 02:45:52,275
GIVE ADDITIONAL OPTIONS TO THE 

5304
02:45:52,275 --> 02:45:54,844
CITY TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THIS 

5305
02:45:54,844 --> 02:45:57,881
LEGISLATION ENFORCED WITH THE 

5306
02:45:57,881 --> 02:45:58,748
ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT, AS I SAID 

5307
02:45:58,748 --> 02:46:00,317
EARLIER, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S 

5308
02:46:00,317 --> 02:46:01,951
OFFICE, THIS WOULD BE A NEW BOOK

5309
02:46:01,951 --> 02:46:03,420
OF BUSINESS FOR THEM, AND 

5310
02:46:03,420 --> 02:46:05,922
THEY'RE NOT, GENERALLY 

5311
02:46:05,922 --> 02:46:07,824
SPEAKING, THEY'RE NOT AS MUCH 

5312
02:46:07,824 --> 02:46:09,559
ACTIVE IN THE SPACE OF THIS TYPE

5313
02:46:09,559 --> 02:46:11,594
OF CONSUMER REGULATORY WORK AS, 

5314
02:46:11,594 --> 02:46:13,096
FOR EXAMPLE, A STATE ATTORNEY 

5315
02:46:13,096 --> 02:46:13,830
GENERAL'S OFFICE WOULD BE. BUT 

5316
02:46:13,830 --> 02:46:15,665
LIKE I SAID, I WOULD I WOULD 

5317
02:46:15,665 --> 02:46:18,535
DEFER TO THE SPONSOR WITH 

5318
02:46:18,535 --> 02:46:20,370
QUESTIONS ABOUT REASON, 

5319
02:46:20,370 --> 02:46:20,904
REASONING OR STRATEGY FOR 

5320
02:46:20,904 --> 02:46:22,339
INTRODUCTION OF MUNICIPAL 

5321
02:46:22,339 --> 02:46:24,607
LEGISLATION, OR INCLUDE 

5322
02:46:24,607 --> 02:46:25,208
INCLUSION OF SPECIFIC POLICY 

5323
02:46:25,208 --> 02:46:25,709
TOOLS. 

5324
02:46:25,709 --> 02:46:27,077
-- THANK YOU. TOMMASO AND 

5325
02:46:27,077 --> 02:46:28,912
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, TO KEEP US

5326
02:46:28,912 --> 02:46:30,780
MOVING ALONG, I WILL DEFER TO 

5327
02:46:30,780 --> 02:46:31,848
THE SPONSOR IF THEY WOULD LIKE 

5328
02:46:31,848 --> 02:46:33,450
TO ANSWER THAT WITH 

5329
02:46:33,450 --> 02:46:34,050
COUNCILMEMBER RINCK, AND THEN 

5330
02:46:34,050 --> 02:46:36,086
WE'LL CLOSE WITH COMMENTS FROM 

5331
02:46:36,086 --> 02:46:37,487
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. IS THAT 

5332
02:46:37,487 --> 02:46:39,489
OKAY? AWESOME. COUNCILMEMBER 

5333
02:46:39,489 --> 02:46:40,924

02:46:44,361 --> 02:46:44,627
QUESTION? 

5336
02:46:44,627 --> 02:46:46,162
-- WELL, MORE COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

5337
02:46:46,162 --> 02:46:48,064
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT 

5338
02:46:48,064 --> 02:46:49,566
ABOUT THE CITY ATTORNEY'S 

5339
02:46:49,566 --> 02:46:50,667
OFFICE. IT WOULDN'T BE THE 

5340
02:46:50,667 --> 02:46:54,104
FIRST TIME THAT WE GAVE A CITY 

5341
02:46:54,104 --> 02:46:56,272
DEPARTMENT A, YOU KNOW, TO, TO 

5342
02:46:56,272 --> 02:46:58,508
NEW BODY OF WORK. WE'VE DONE 

5343
02:46:58,508 --> 02:46:59,976
THAT MANY TIMES. WE RECENTLY DID

5344
02:46:59,976 --> 02:47:02,412
IT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF 

5345
02:47:02,412 --> 02:47:03,613

5346
02:47:03,613 --> 02:47:05,148

THEM TO DO. SO I DON'T I DON'T

5350
02:47:13,022 --> 02:47:14,391
UNDERSTAND THAT PIECE, BUT 

5351
02:47:14,391 --> 02:47:16,359
THAT'S FINE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL

I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS FROM 

5359
02:47:28,571 --> 02:47:29,839
MY COLLEAGUES, AND I SUSPECT 

5360
02:47:29,839 --> 02:47:30,774
THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, 

5361
02:47:30,774 --> 02:47:32,142
WITHIN ONE YEAR, YOU'RE PROBABLY

5362
02:47:32,142 --> 02:47:33,309
NOT GOING TO NOTICE IN TWO YEARS

5363
02:47:33,309 --> 02:47:37,313
OR THREE YEARS. I DON'T REALLY 

5364
02:47:37,313 --> 02:47:38,748
DO HYPOTHETICALS, BUT I DO 

5365
02:47:38,748 --> 02:47:41,084
WONDER WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FOUND

5366
02:47:41,084 --> 02:47:44,421
OUT IN YEAR FOUR. AGAIN, THE 

5367
02:47:44,421 --> 02:47:46,356
BOTTOM LINE HERE IS, YOU KNOW, 

5368
02:47:46,356 --> 02:47:48,558
THE AFFORDABILITY PIECES AND THE

5369
02:47:48,558 --> 02:47:51,027
EFFECT OF GOVERNMENT ACTION THAT

5370
02:47:51,027 --> 02:47:53,430
COULD IMPACT THE PEOPLE, THE 

5371
02:47:53,430 --> 02:47:54,731
FAMILIES THAT WE REPRESENT. SO 

5372
02:47:54,731 --> 02:47:56,066
WITH THAT, COLLEAGUES, I ASK FOR

5373
02:47:56,066 --> 02:47:57,066
YOUR SUPPORT. 

5374
02:47:57,066 --> 02:47:58,468

I'M THE SPONSOR AND THEN I WILL

02:49:00,263 --> 02:49:03,199
ADDRESS IT 

5410
02:49:03,199 --> 02:49:05,435
-- YES. AMENDMENT F ADDS A NEW 

5411
02:49:05,435 --> 02:49:07,704
SECTION TO THE LEGISLATION 

5412
02:49:07,704 --> 02:49:08,338
INTENDED TO CLARIFY THAT NOTHING

5413
02:49:08,338 --> 02:49:09,506
IN THE BILL PREVENTS BUSINESSES 

5414
02:49:09,506 --> 02:49:10,940
FROM USING TECHNOLOGY FOR THE 

5415
02:49:10,940 --> 02:49:13,376
SOLE PURPOSE OF SECURITY LOSS 

5416
02:49:13,376 --> 02:49:15,712
PREVENTION, SAFETY, FRAUD 

5417
02:49:15,712 --> 02:49:17,514
PREVENTION OR DETECTION, OR 

5418
02:49:17,514 --> 02:49:20,283
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. I'LL SAY 

5419
02:49:20,283 --> 02:49:23,586
BRIEFLY TO SUPPLEMENT THIS THAT 

5420
02:49:23,586 --> 02:49:24,988
THIS AMENDMENT IS, IN TIME 

5421
02:49:24,988 --> 02:49:28,324
INTENDED TO ADDRESS. THERE'S A 

5422
02:49:28,324 --> 02:49:30,126
THERE IS A TERM DEFINED IN THE 

5423
02:49:30,126 --> 02:49:33,229
BILL ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE 

5424
02:49:33,229 --> 02:49:34,297
TECHNOLOGY THAT TERM. THE ONLY 

5425
02:49:34,297 --> 02:49:36,432
PLACE THAT THAT TERM IS USED IS 

5426
02:49:36,432 --> 02:49:40,103
WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF 

5427
02:49:40,103 --> 02:49:40,603
ALGORITHMIC-BASED PRICE 

5428
02:49:40,603 --> 02:49:42,505
DISCRIMINATION. THIS AMENDMENT 

5429
02:49:42,505 --> 02:49:45,909
IS INTENDED TO CLEAR UP ANY 

5430
02:49:45,909 --> 02:49:48,745
QUESTIONS OR INTERPRETATION THAT

5431
02:49:48,745 --> 02:49:51,581
MIGHT EXIST THAT THE AMENDMENT 

5432
02:49:51,581 --> 02:49:53,550
THAT THE UNDERLYING BILL WOULD 

5433
02:49:53,550 --> 02:49:55,251
ATTEMPT TO REGULATE THE USE OF 

5434
02:49:55,251 --> 02:49:59,622
SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY FOR NON 

5435
02:49:59,622 --> 02:50:00,523
PRICING PURPOSES. SO THIS 

5436
02:50:00,523 --> 02:50:01,124
AMENDMENT JUST MAKES IT CLEAR 

5437
02:50:01,124 --> 02:50:02,859
THAT IT'S NOT THE BILL IS NOT 

5438
02:50:02,859 --> 02:50:03,192
DOING THAT. 

5439
02:50:03,192 --> 02:50:04,193
-- ALL RIGHT. AWESOME. THANK 

5440
02:50:04,193 --> 02:50:09,832
YOU. TOMASO. COLLEAGUES, AGAIN, 

5441
02:50:09,832 --> 02:50:10,366
AMENDMENT F IS CLARIFIES 

5442
02:50:10,366 --> 02:50:11,768
ALLOWABLE USE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR 

5443
02:50:11,768 --> 02:50:13,102
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF SECURITY AND

5444
02:50:13,102 --> 02:50:15,605
LOSS PREVENTION. AS I SAID IN 

5445
02:50:15,605 --> 02:50:16,306
COMMITTEE, WASHINGTON LEADS THE 

5446
02:50:16,306 --> 02:50:18,107
NATION IN RETAIL THEFT. THAT'S 

5447
02:50:18,107 --> 02:50:19,375
NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE PROUD 

5448
02:50:19,375 --> 02:50:22,211
TO LEAD ON. BUT WHEN STORES 

5449
02:50:22,211 --> 02:50:23,646
CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE THEFT, 

5450
02:50:23,646 --> 02:50:25,381
OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW IT PLACES 

5451
02:50:25,381 --> 02:50:26,583
FINANCIAL STRAIN ON GROCERS. AND

5452
02:50:26,583 --> 02:50:28,551
LET ME ALSO SAY I'M NOT THE 

5453
02:50:28,551 --> 02:50:35,091
PERSON TO GO AFTER OR OR FOR US 

5454
02:50:35,091 --> 02:50:37,193
TO GO AFTER CRIMINALIZING 

5455
02:50:37,193 --> 02:50:39,629
POVERTY. AND I THINK THAT'S 

5456
02:50:39,629 --> 02:50:40,229
IMPORTANT TO DISTINGUISH THE 

5457
02:50:40,229 --> 02:50:42,465
DIFFERENCE OF A MOTHER WHO MIGHT

5458
02:50:42,465 --> 02:50:43,099
MAKE A REALLY DIFFICULT CHOICE 

5459
02:50:43,099 --> 02:50:45,602
AT A STORE TO FEED HER FAMILY, 

5460
02:50:45,602 --> 02:50:47,470
VERSUS PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING 

5461
02:50:47,470 --> 02:50:48,538
THIS AS WE'VE MADE IT AS A 

5462
02:50:48,538 --> 02:50:51,674
BUSINESS FOR THEM TO OPERATE IN 

5463
02:50:51,674 --> 02:50:52,809
SEATTLE FOR DOING THIS. SO I 

5464
02:50:52,809 --> 02:50:54,444
JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT IN MY 

5465
02:50:54,444 --> 02:50:56,379
DISTRICT, WE'VE HAD CLOSURES OF

5466
02:50:56,379 --> 02:50:58,548
AMAZON FRESH AT 23rd AND 

5467
02:50:58,548 --> 02:51:00,083
JACKSON. WE'VE ALSO HAD CLOSURES

5468
02:51:00,083 --> 02:51:02,118
AT WHOLE FOODS AND AMAZON GO AS 

5469
02:51:02,118 --> 02:51:04,187
WELL, WHO ALSO TALKED ABOUT HOW 

5470
02:51:04,187 --> 02:51:06,956
HARD IT IS TO BE IN A GROCERY 

5471
02:51:06,956 --> 02:51:08,391
STORE AND SURVIVE, AND SOME OF 

5472
02:51:08,391 --> 02:51:10,593
THE LOSS OR SHRINKAGE THAT IS 

5473
02:51:10,593 --> 02:51:13,162
HAPPENING IN SEATTLE. 

5474
02:51:13,162 --> 02:51:14,030
COLLEAGUES, I ASKED SOME OF THE 

5475
02:51:14,030 --> 02:51:16,532
RETAILERS TO TELL ME SOME OF 

5476
02:51:16,532 --> 02:51:17,233
THEIR SHRINKAGE YEARS. FOR THE 

5477
02:51:17,233 --> 02:51:19,702
LAST COUPLE YEARS, AND THE 

5478
02:51:19,702 --> 02:51:21,871
AMOUNT OF SECURITY THAT IS PUT 

5479
02:51:21,871 --> 02:51:25,141
INTO THE NUMBER OF STORES. ONE 

5480
02:51:25,141 --> 02:51:28,177
GROCER THAT HAS 15 STORES SPENDS

5481
02:51:28,177 --> 02:51:30,480
BETWEEN 15 TO $22 MILLION ON 

5482
02:51:30,480 --> 02:51:32,115
SECURITY ALONE. ANOTHER STORE 

5483
02:51:32,115 --> 02:51:33,816
THAT HAS 7 OR 19 STORES SPENDS 

5484
02:51:33,816 --> 02:51:36,052
ABOUT THAT SAME AMOUNT OVER $20 

5485
02:51:36,052 --> 02:51:39,422
MILLION. SO I THOUGHT IT WAS 

5486
02:51:39,422 --> 02:51:41,991
IMPORTANT FOR THIS TO HAVE IN 

5487
02:51:41,991 --> 02:51:43,826
THE BILL. I ALSO WORKED WITH 

5488
02:51:43,826 --> 02:51:45,962
STAKEHOLDERS, AND I ALSO WANT TO

5489
02:51:45,962 --> 02:51:47,363
SAY I KNOW SOME OF THE EMAILS 

5490
02:51:47,363 --> 02:51:48,831
THAT WE GOT SAYING THAT THIS 

5491
02:51:48,831 --> 02:51:52,168
WOULD BACK DOOR DHS WOULD COME 

5492
02:51:52,168 --> 02:51:55,171
IN HERE AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT 

5493
02:51:55,171 --> 02:51:57,507
THINGS AND UNDERMINE AND REALLY 

5494
02:51:57,507 --> 02:51:58,107
DISRESPECT THE INTENT BEHIND 

5495
02:51:58,107 --> 02:51:59,575
THIS AND MY CREDIBILITY HAS BEEN

5496
02:51:59,575 --> 02:52:01,411
A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTING 

5497
02:52:01,411 --> 02:52:02,779
BECAUSE I WORKED IN GOOD FAITH 

5498
02:52:02,779 --> 02:52:06,316
WITH THIS AMENDMENT, WITH UFCW, 

5499
02:52:06,316 --> 02:52:07,350
TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE 

5500
02:52:07,350 --> 02:52:09,385
THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE 

5501
02:52:09,385 --> 02:52:10,553
EXPERIENCING. AND SO I JUST 

5502
02:52:10,553 --> 02:52:11,888
WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT FOR THE 

5503
02:52:11,888 --> 02:52:13,423
RECORD, THERE'S A LOT OF 

5504
02:52:13,423 --> 02:52:14,757
INFORMATION OUT THERE, AND I 

5505
02:52:14,757 --> 02:52:15,992
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT 

5506
02:52:15,992 --> 02:52:17,727
YOU HEARD MY PERSPECTIVE AND HOW

5507
02:52:17,727 --> 02:52:21,931
THIS CAME ABOUT AS WELL. I ALSO 

5508
02:52:21,931 --> 02:52:23,132
WANT TO TALK ABOUT TWO AS WELL. 

5509
02:52:23,132 --> 02:52:24,634
THERE ARE WORKERS AT THE FRONT 

5510
02:52:24,634 --> 02:52:26,235
DOOR, THERE'S BLUE LIGHTS AND 

5511
02:52:26,235 --> 02:52:28,071
BATHROOMS TO DETER FENTANYL, USE

5512
02:52:28,071 --> 02:52:31,307
THEIR SECURITY. THAT GATES AT A 

5513
02:52:31,307 --> 02:52:33,076
LOT OF THE STORES. THERE'S 

5514
02:52:33,076 --> 02:52:35,945
PEOPLE CHECKING YOUR RECEIPTS. 

5515
02:52:35,945 --> 02:52:36,579
THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, 

5516
02:52:36,579 --> 02:52:38,981
WHEN YOU DO SELF-CHECKOUT AND 

5517
02:52:38,981 --> 02:52:39,682
YOU SCAN SOMETHING, IF YOU 

5518
02:52:39,682 --> 02:52:41,317
DON'T SCAN, YOU CAN SEE YOUR 

5519
02:52:41,317 --> 02:52:42,985
PICTURE RIGHT THERE SAYING THAT 

5520
02:52:42,985 --> 02:52:44,987
YOU DIDN'T SCAN. SO THIS IS TO 

5521
02:52:44,987 --> 02:52:46,089
CLARIFY THAT THOSE PROTECTIONS 

5522
02:52:46,089 --> 02:52:47,857
FOR TECHNOLOGY CAN STILL BE 

5523
02:52:47,857 --> 02:52:50,093
PERMISSIBLE FOR LOSS PROTECTION 

5524
02:52:50,093 --> 02:52:51,160
FOR GROCERY STORES THAT MAKE A 

5525
02:52:51,160 --> 02:52:54,897
THIN MARGIN IN BUSINESSES AS 

5526
02:52:54,897 --> 02:52:56,699
WELL. OR EXCUSE ME, THAT HAVE 

5527
02:52:56,699 --> 02:53:00,203
THIN MARGINS IN OUR IN OUR CITY.

5528
02:53:00,203 --> 02:53:00,970
SO ANYWAYS, THIS CLARIFIES THAT 

5529
02:53:00,970 --> 02:53:02,638
COLLEAGUES, I WOULD LOVE YOUR 

5530
02:53:02,638 --> 02:53:04,040

MAKE SURE CLEAN THE LINES UP AND

YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, JUST ONE

5594
02:54:49,712 --> 02:54:51,347
QUESTION ON THIS ONE. SINCE THIS

5595
02:54:51,347 --> 02:54:53,583
AMENDMENT WOULD MAKE SEATTLE'S 

5596
02:54:53,583 --> 02:54:54,951
PROVISIONS SUPERSEDED AND 

5597
02:54:54,951 --> 02:54:56,385
UNENFORCEABLE, WHEN A QUALIFYING

5598
02:54:56,385 --> 02:54:57,620
STATE LAW TAKES EFFECT, I MEAN, 

5599
02:54:57,620 --> 02:55:00,556
WHAT ASSURANCES DO WE HAVE IN 

5600
02:55:00,556 --> 02:55:01,157
PLACE THAT A STATE LAW TAKING 

5601
02:55:01,157 --> 02:55:04,260
EFFECT WOULD BE AS STRONG AS THE

5602
02:55:04,260 --> 02:55:08,331
LEGISLATION WE'VE PUT FORWARD 

5603
02:55:08,331 --> 02:55:11,667
TODAY? 

5604
02:55:11,667 --> 02:55:13,336
-- WE DON'T HAVE ANY SUCH 

5605
02:55:13,336 --> 02:55:14,904
ASSURANCE, NOR COULD WE MAKE 

5606
02:55:14,904 --> 02:55:16,572
SUCH AN ASSURANCE BECAUSE IT'S 

5607
02:55:16,572 --> 02:55:18,608
THE PREEMPTION WOULD BE 

5608
02:55:18,608 --> 02:55:20,176
CONTINGENT ON SOMETHING THAT 

5609
02:55:20,176 --> 02:55:22,078
HASN'T HAPPENED YET IN OLYMPIA 

5610

NEXT SESSION OR IN FUTURE 

5611
02:55:24,680 --> 02:55:25,948
SESSIONS. SO I CAN'T SPECULATE 

5612
02:55:25,948 --> 02:55:27,950
ABOUT THAT. 

5613
02:55:27,950 --> 02:55:29,318
-- CERTAINLY A LOT CAN HAPPEN 

5614
02:55:29,318 --> 02:55:29,886
DURING A STATE LEGISLATIVE 

5615
02:55:29,886 --> 02:55:31,454
SESSION. I THINK WE WE ALL KNOW 

5616
02:55:31,454 --> 02:55:34,624
THAT. SO COLLEAGUES, I THINK WE 

5617
02:55:34,624 --> 02:55:35,625
SHOULD DO WHAT WE CAN TO STAND 

5618
02:55:35,625 --> 02:55:37,960
BY THE POLICY THAT WE PASS HERE 

5619
02:55:37,960 --> 02:55:39,829
TODAY AS A STRONG, ENFORCEABLE 

5620

02:58:09,612 --> 02:58:11,714
RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM THE 

5705
02:58:11,714 --> 02:58:13,416
MAYOR'S OFFICE THAT THEY 

5706
02:58:13,416 --> 02:58:17,286
BELIEVE THAT THERE WOULD BE A 

5707
02:58:17,286 --> 02:58:18,554
FISCAL IMPACT TO EFFECTUATE THIS

5708
02:58:18,554 --> 02:58:20,556
AMENDMENT IF IT WAS PASSED, THAT

5709
02:58:20,556 --> 02:58:23,893
THE. THEY BELIEVE THAT THIS. 

5710
02:58:23,893 --> 02:58:25,494
DOING THIS TYPE OF ANALYSIS 

5711
02:58:25,494 --> 02:58:28,197
WOULD BE SOMEWHAT RESOURCE 

5712
02:58:28,197 --> 02:58:30,733
INTENSIVE, AND WE DON'T HAVE 

5713
02:58:30,733 --> 02:58:32,068
SPECIFICS ON AN ESTIMATE ON 

5714
02:58:32,068 --> 02:58:33,903
THAT. BUT THAT'S THAT'S THE 

5715
02:58:33,903 --> 02:58:36,305
INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE. 

5716
02:58:36,305 --> 02:58:37,206
-- THANK YOU FOR FOR THAT 

5717
02:58:37,206 --> 02:58:38,607
RESPONSE. I THINK I WOULD JUST 

5718
02:58:38,607 --> 02:58:39,241
STATE MY COMMITMENT WHETHER OR 

5719
02:58:39,241 --> 02:58:41,077

02:58:41,077 --> 02:58:42,945
ENSURE THAT MY ROLE AS CHAIR

02:58:42,945 --> 02:58:45,514
OVER HUMAN SERVICES LABOR AND 

5722

02:58:56,492 --> 02:58:58,094
ARE THERE ANY FINAL COMMENTS 

5731
02:58:58,094 --> 02:59:01,297
ABOUT AMENDMENT H? I'LL JUST SAY

5732

THIS. I'M SUPPORTING THIS. I 

5733
02:59:02,498 --> 02:59:04,300
THINK THERE'S NOTHING WRONG 

5734
02:59:04,300 --> 02:59:05,401
WITH A REPORT AND HAVING 

5735

5736
02:59:06,969 --> 02:59:08,437

02:59:08,437 --> 02:59:10,806
POLICY THAT PEOPLE HAVE TOUTED

ABOUT BEING FIRST IN THE

TO HAVE DATA AND INFORMATION. 

5741

03:01:42,725 --> 03:01:43,492
ABOUT AFFORDABILITY AND I SEE IT

5831
03:01:43,492 --> 03:01:47,730
AND ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE 

5832
03:01:47,730 --> 03:01:49,064
HAPPENING. YOU KNOW, WHETHER 

5833
03:01:49,064 --> 03:01:50,599
IT'S AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL WITH 

5834
03:01:50,599 --> 03:01:53,035
THE, YOU KNOW, THE MISSTEPS OF 

5835
03:01:53,035 --> 03:01:53,669
THE ADMINISTRATION AS IT RELATES

5836
03:01:53,669 --> 03:01:55,004
TO TARIFFS. AND, YOU KNOW, THE 

5837
03:01:55,004 --> 03:01:57,373
IRAN WAR, FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE 

5838
03:01:57,373 --> 03:02:00,409
STATE, YOU COULD BE PROPERTY 

5839
03:02:00,409 --> 03:02:02,378
TAXES, COUNTY SALES TAXES. WE 

5840
03:02:02,378 --> 03:02:03,045
HAVE THE SAME THING. AND HERE 

5841
03:02:03,045 --> 03:02:05,781
LOCALLY TOO, WE HAVE UTILITY 

5842
03:02:05,781 --> 03:02:07,983
RATES. AND AND MY CONCERN 

5843
03:02:07,983 --> 03:02:08,617
RELATES TO THE REGULATION PIECE 

5844
03:02:08,617 --> 03:02:11,754
HERE WITH THIS. AND THAT'S WHAT

5845
03:02:11,754 --> 03:02:13,622
DRIVES IT. AND IN MY CONCERN, 

5846
03:02:13,622 --> 03:02:14,723
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, 

5847
03:02:14,723 --> 03:02:16,392
LIKE I SAID EARLIER, YES, I 

5848
03:02:16,392 --> 03:02:18,093
COULD AFFORD THAT. BUT FOR THAT 

5849
03:02:18,093 --> 03:02:19,762
PERSON WHERE THAT MAKES A 

5850
03:02:19,762 --> 03:02:21,730
DIFFERENCE, WHO'S DISADVANTAGED

5851
03:02:21,730 --> 03:02:24,566
OR VULNERABLE, I THINK THAT IS 

5852
03:02:24,566 --> 03:02:28,470
WHERE I AM AND THAT'S DRIVES MY

5853
03:02:28,470 --> 03:02:30,973
CONCERNS WITH THIS LEGISLATION. 

5854
03:02:30,973 --> 03:02:31,573
IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING 

5855
03:02:31,573 --> 03:02:34,143
RELATED TO, YOU KNOW, THE REASON

5856
03:02:34,143 --> 03:02:36,445
WHY I AVOID THE CHECKOUT 

5857
03:02:36,445 --> 03:02:37,079
SELF-CHECKOUTS, BECAUSE I WANT 

5858
03:02:37,079 --> 03:02:40,215
TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S A DEMAND

5859
03:02:40,215 --> 03:02:40,816
SIGNAL TO HAVE THOSE WORKERS, 

5860
03:02:40,816 --> 03:02:43,018
YOU KNOW, WORKING THERE AT THE 

5861
03:02:43,018 --> 03:02:45,154
GROCERY STORE AND ALL THOSE 

5862
03:02:45,154 --> 03:02:47,389
PIECES, AND TO SUPPORT THE U OF 

5863
03:02:47,389 --> 03:02:49,992
RCW TEAM THAT I SEE HERE TODAY, 

5864
03:02:49,992 --> 03:02:50,959
INCLUDING ITS LEADERSHIP. AND 

5865
03:02:50,959 --> 03:02:54,330
THAT'S WHERE IT COMES FROM. 

5866
03:02:54,330 --> 03:02:56,565
AND, AND THAT'S IT. I JUST 

5867
03:02:56,565 --> 03:02:57,232
WANTED TO SAY THAT THANK YOU. 

5868
03:02:57,232 --> 03:02:59,802
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

5869
03:02:59,802 --> 03:03:01,170
KETTLE. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. 

5870
03:03:01,170 --> 03:03:02,771
FOLLOWED BY COUNCILMEMBER LIN, 

5871
03:03:02,771 --> 03:03:05,074
THEN COUNCILMEMBER SAKA. AND 

5872
03:03:05,074 --> 03:03:05,641
THEN COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER. 

5873
03:03:05,641 --> 03:03:08,844
-- THANK YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

5874
03:03:08,844 --> 03:03:12,314
I JUST WANT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, 

5875
03:03:12,314 --> 03:03:15,517
LIKE MY COLLEAGUE COUNCILMEMBER 

5876
03:03:15,517 --> 03:03:17,953
KETTLE, I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT 

5877
03:03:17,953 --> 03:03:19,321
THE AFFORDABILITY PIECE. I VERY 

5878
03:03:19,321 --> 03:03:21,290
MUCH SUPPORT THE BANNING OF 

5879
03:03:21,290 --> 03:03:24,393
ALGORITHMIC PRICING. WE 

5880
03:03:24,393 --> 03:03:26,595
SHOULDN'T BE USING ALGORITHMS TO

5881
03:03:26,595 --> 03:03:28,564
INCREASE THE PRICES OF GOODS FOR

5882
03:03:28,564 --> 03:03:29,264
FOLKS. BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE 

5883
03:03:29,264 --> 03:03:33,102
ARE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT RELY ON 

5884
03:03:33,102 --> 03:03:34,169
THE LOYALTY PROGRAMS. AND I DO 

5885
03:03:34,169 --> 03:03:36,905
THINK THAT THERE IS A STRONG 

5886
03:03:36,905 --> 03:03:40,676
CONCERN HERE THAT MOVING FORWARD

5887
03:03:40,676 --> 03:03:42,411
WITH THIS UNDERLYING BILL WILL 

5888
03:03:42,411 --> 03:03:44,780
HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON THOSE 

5889
03:03:44,780 --> 03:03:46,648
LOYALTY PROGRAMS. AND THEN ALSO,

5890
03:03:46,648 --> 03:03:49,251
YOU KNOW, JUST IN GENERAL, THE 

5891
03:03:49,251 --> 03:03:51,720
UNINTENDED POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCE 

5892
03:03:51,720 --> 03:03:54,490
OF HAVING LESS GROCERY STORES AS

5893
03:03:54,490 --> 03:03:56,592
IT IS IN SEATTLE, YOU KNOW, AND 

5894
03:03:56,592 --> 03:03:57,993
IRONICALLY ENOUGH, THE FOLKS 

5895
03:03:57,993 --> 03:04:01,697
THAT ARE HURT MOST BY THIS BILL 

5896
03:04:01,697 --> 03:04:05,167
COULD VERY WELL BE, YOU KNOW, 

5897
03:04:05,167 --> 03:04:07,036
FOLKS, YOU KNOW, OUR BLUE COLLAR

5898
03:04:07,036 --> 03:04:08,237
WORKERS AND OUR LOW INCOME 

5899
03:04:08,237 --> 03:04:10,506
WORKERS BECAUSE TRULY, ALWAYS 

5900
03:04:10,506 --> 03:04:13,041
WHEN WE PASS THINGS LIKE AN 

5901
03:04:13,041 --> 03:04:14,410
INCREASE OF SALES TAX AT KING 

5902
03:04:14,410 --> 03:04:17,913
COUNTY IS NOW LOOKING AT 

5903
03:04:17,913 --> 03:04:20,883
INCREASING SALES TAX, A, SORRY, 

5904
03:04:20,883 --> 03:04:22,618
A SALES TAX. AND THAT ALWAYS, 

5905
03:04:22,618 --> 03:04:24,953
YOU KNOW, IT'S A REGRESSIVE 

5906
03:04:24,953 --> 03:04:26,155
TAX. IT IMPACTS LOW INCOME FOLKS

5907
03:04:26,155 --> 03:04:27,623
THE MOST. SIMILARLY, I HAVE 

5908
03:04:27,623 --> 03:04:30,359
CONCERNS ABOUT THIS. AND I SAID 

5909
03:04:30,359 --> 03:04:32,594
AND I SAID, AS I SAID EARLIER, I

5910
03:04:32,594 --> 03:04:35,731
WISHED WE WOULD HAVE HAD MORE 

5911
03:04:35,731 --> 03:04:37,866
TIME WITH THIS LEGISLATION TO 

5912
03:04:37,866 --> 03:04:40,269
TRULY BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH 

5913
03:04:40,269 --> 03:04:42,237
SOMETHING THAT WOULD BAN THE 

5914
03:04:42,237 --> 03:04:45,107
ALGORITHMIC PRICING. BUT REALLY 

5915
03:04:45,107 --> 03:04:48,877
LEAD TO THE LOYALTY PROGRAMS 

5916
03:04:48,877 --> 03:04:51,013
CONTINUING AND NOT HAVING AN 

5917
03:04:51,013 --> 03:04:52,481
IMPACT ON WHETHER OR NOT GROCERY

5918
03:04:52,481 --> 03:04:54,249
STORES ARE GOING TO CHOOSE TO 

5919
03:04:54,249 --> 03:04:56,251
OPERATE IN SEATTLE, AND WHETHER 

5920
03:04:56,251 --> 03:04:57,186
THEY'RE GOING TO CHOOSE TO GO 

5921
03:04:57,186 --> 03:05:02,624
TO OTHER CITIES IN THE STATE. I 

5922
03:05:02,624 --> 03:05:03,258
DON'T KNOW WHETHER THIS WOULD 

5923
03:05:03,258 --> 03:05:03,892
HAVE BEEN BETTER TO BE DONE. I 

5924
03:05:03,892 --> 03:05:06,395
THINK, AT THE STATE LEVEL, AND 

5925
03:05:06,395 --> 03:05:08,230
MAYBE IT'S STILL WILL. BUT AS 

5926
03:05:08,230 --> 03:05:11,166
IT STANDS, WE'RE THE ONLY CITY 

5927
03:05:11,166 --> 03:05:15,604
WHO IS TAKING THIS ON THE OTHER 

5928
03:05:15,604 --> 03:05:16,872
PLACES THAT HAVE TAKEN THIS ON 

5929
03:05:16,872 --> 03:05:18,273
ARE AT THE STATE LEVEL, AND THAT

5930
03:05:18,273 --> 03:05:19,741
SEEM MORE APPROPRIATE TO ME. AND

5931
03:05:19,741 --> 03:05:21,710
I UNDERSTAND IT DIDN'T PASS LAST

5932
03:05:21,710 --> 03:05:23,545
SESSION, BUT THERE'S NO IT 

5933
03:05:23,545 --> 03:05:24,980
DOESN'T MEAN IT WOULDN'T PASS 

5934
03:05:24,980 --> 03:05:26,748
THIS SESSION. SO ANYWAY, ALL 

5935
03:05:26,748 --> 03:05:31,019
THIS TO SAY THAT I JUST HAVE 

5936
03:05:31,019 --> 03:05:36,325
CONCERNS ABOUT THIS INCREASING 

5937
03:05:36,325 --> 03:05:37,526
THE PRICES OF GROCERIES IN OUR 

5938
03:05:37,526 --> 03:05:38,527
CITY. AND I'M JUST REALLY 

5939
03:05:38,527 --> 03:05:40,028
CONCERNED ABOUT THIS 

5940
03:05:40,028 --> 03:05:40,896
AFFORDABILITY PIECE. AND I WILL 

5941
03:05:40,896 --> 03:05:45,334
SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, TO THE JOKE 

5942
03:05:45,334 --> 03:05:45,901
FROM EARLIER TODAY ABOUT I 

5943
03:05:45,901 --> 03:05:47,769
REALLY APPRECIATE COUNCILMEMBER 

5944
03:05:47,769 --> 03:05:49,304
KETTLE BRINGING ALL THESE 

5945
03:05:49,304 --> 03:05:49,905
AMENDMENTS FORWARD, BECAUSE I 

5946
03:05:49,905 --> 03:05:52,508
KNOW HE, TOO, IS CONCERNED ABOUT

5947
03:05:52,508 --> 03:05:53,108
THE AFFORDABILITY PIECE, AND 

5948
03:05:53,108 --> 03:05:55,511
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

5949
03:05:55,511 --> 03:05:58,747
DOING THIS IN A WAY THAT WOULD 

5950
03:05:58,747 --> 03:06:01,316
PLACE THE LOYALTY PROGRAMS IN A 

5951
03:06:01,316 --> 03:06:04,019
BETTER PLACE. AND I THINK THEY 

5952
03:06:04,019 --> 03:06:06,054
WILL BE WHEN THIS THING PASSES. 

5953
03:06:06,054 --> 03:06:08,156
SO I HOPE THAT FOLKS WILL SEE 

5954
03:06:08,156 --> 03:06:12,494
THIS. YOU KNOW, MY COMMENTS IN 

5955
03:06:12,494 --> 03:06:13,795
THE SPIRIT OF WHICH THEY ARE 

5956
03:06:13,795 --> 03:06:14,963
OFFERED, AND THAT IS THAT WHILE 

5957
03:06:14,963 --> 03:06:17,299
I DO SUPPORT THE BANNING OF 

5958
03:06:17,299 --> 03:06:19,001
ALGORITHMIC PRICING, I REALLY 

5959
03:06:19,001 --> 03:06:23,138
WANTED TO TO ENSURE I, I DON'T 

5960
03:06:23,138 --> 03:06:25,207
WANT TO CAUSE ADDITIONAL 

5961
03:06:25,207 --> 03:06:27,876
AFFORDABILITY ISSUES IN OUR 

5962
03:06:27,876 --> 03:06:30,245
CITY, WHICH WE'RE ALREADY 

5963
03:06:30,245 --> 03:06:31,513
STRUGGLING WITH. SO ANYWAY, 

5964
03:06:31,513 --> 03:06:32,481
THANK YOU ALL.

03:06:59,208 --> 03:07:01,843
SOMEWHAT LIKE WHISTLEBLOWERS 

5978

HERE. YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'RE 

5979
03:07:03,879 --> 03:07:07,115
SEEING THIS VERY CONCERNING AND 

5980
03:07:07,115 --> 03:07:08,517
DISTURBING TECHNOLOGY COMING TO 

5981
03:07:08,517 --> 03:07:11,253
STORES WHERE YOU WORK. AND, AND 

5982
03:07:11,253 --> 03:07:11,887
AS I INTERPRET IT, YOU DON'T 

5983
03:07:11,887 --> 03:07:14,856
WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT. YOU 

5984
03:07:14,856 --> 03:07:16,458
CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE, YOUR 

5985
03:07:16,458 --> 03:07:18,393
NEIGHBORS AND THE PEOPLE YOU 

5986
03:07:18,393 --> 03:07:21,463
SERVE. AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY

5987
03:07:21,463 --> 03:07:24,900
THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR 

5988
03:07:24,900 --> 03:07:26,301
ALL OF US. YOU KNOW, I DON'T SEE

5989
03:07:26,301 --> 03:07:27,636
THIS AS A AS A PARTISAN ISSUE. I

5990
03:07:27,636 --> 03:07:29,171
THINK WE ALL CARE ABOUT 

5991
03:07:29,171 --> 03:07:30,639
AFFORDABILITY. AND THANK YOU TO 

5992
03:07:30,639 --> 03:07:33,041
MY COLLEAGUES FOR RAISING 

5993
03:07:33,041 --> 03:07:34,710
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS. BUT, YOU

5994
03:07:34,710 --> 03:07:37,512
KNOW, I THINK I'M DEEPLY 

5995
03:07:37,512 --> 03:07:39,982
CONCERNED ABOUT THE WAY BIG DATA

5996
03:07:39,982 --> 03:07:42,217
IS USED, THAT ALL OF OUR DATA IS

5997
03:07:42,217 --> 03:07:44,419
BOUGHT AND SOLD WITHOUT WITHOUT 

5998
03:07:44,419 --> 03:07:45,954
REALLY OUR CONSENT, WITHOUT ANY 

5999
03:07:45,954 --> 03:07:48,757
PART OF THAT COMING BACK TO US. 

6000
03:07:48,757 --> 03:07:50,158
AND THEN TO ADD INSULT TO 

6001
03:07:50,158 --> 03:07:52,194
INJURY, IT'S GOING TO BE USED 

6002
03:07:52,194 --> 03:07:54,329
TO SORT OF JACK UP PRICES AND 

6003
03:07:54,329 --> 03:07:56,298
EXPLOIT US FURTHER. I'M DEEPLY 

6004
03:07:56,298 --> 03:07:58,600
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. AND WHILE 

6005
03:07:58,600 --> 03:07:59,635
THIS DOESN'T SORT OF BAN THE 

6006
03:07:59,635 --> 03:08:01,503
BUYING AND SELLING SELLING OF 

6007
03:08:01,503 --> 03:08:04,373
THAT DATA, HOPEFULLY IT PREVENTS

6008
03:08:04,373 --> 03:08:07,242
THAT SECOND HARM OF THAT FURTHER

6009
03:08:07,242 --> 03:08:08,777
EXPLOITATION, AT LEAST IN THIS 

6010
03:08:08,777 --> 03:08:13,482
ONE ARENA YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I 

6011
03:08:13,482 --> 03:08:15,117
DON'T SEE THIS. THIS IS, I 

6012
03:08:15,117 --> 03:08:17,919
THINK, WIDESPREAD CONCERN ACROSS

6013
03:08:17,919 --> 03:08:18,720
THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM ABOUT 

6014
03:08:18,720 --> 03:08:20,589
THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY. YOU 

6015
03:08:20,589 --> 03:08:24,226
KNOW, THERE WAS A CAIRO NEWS 

6016
03:08:24,226 --> 03:08:25,060
RADIO REPORTER WHO WAS COMING 

6017
03:08:25,060 --> 03:08:25,794
OUT AGAINST THIS SAYING AND JUST

6018
03:08:25,794 --> 03:08:27,462
SAYING, GIVE, GIVE EVERYONE A 

6019
03:08:27,462 --> 03:08:29,765
DISCOUNT. YOU DON'T NEED TO 

6020
03:08:29,765 --> 03:08:31,900
PICK AND CHOOSE WITH THIS 

6021
03:08:31,900 --> 03:08:32,968
ALGORITHMIC PRICING. YOU KNOW, 

6022
03:08:32,968 --> 03:08:36,405
WE RECEIVED A VERY STRONG LETTER

6023
03:08:36,405 --> 03:08:37,839
FROM CONSUMER REPORTS, YOU KNOW,

6024
03:08:37,839 --> 03:08:39,875
NONPROFIT, INDEPENDENT, 

6025
03:08:39,875 --> 03:08:42,544
NONPARTISAN, YOU KNOW, GROUP 

6026
03:08:42,544 --> 03:08:43,412
DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT CONSUMERS

6027
03:08:43,412 --> 03:08:47,883
AND VERY STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF 

6028
03:08:47,883 --> 03:08:50,619
THIS BILL. AND, YOU KNOW, THESE 

6029
03:08:50,619 --> 03:08:52,888
DISCOUNTS HAVE EXISTED LONG 

6030
03:08:52,888 --> 03:08:53,522
BEFORE ALGORITHMIC PRICING CAME 

6031
03:08:53,522 --> 03:08:55,123
ABOUT. THERE'S NOTHING THAT WILL

6032
03:08:55,123 --> 03:08:56,692
PREVENT GROCERY STORES FROM 

6033
03:08:56,692 --> 03:08:58,794
CONTINUING TO PROVIDE DISCOUNTS.

6034
03:08:58,794 --> 03:09:04,399
AND IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO, 

6035
03:09:04,399 --> 03:09:06,334
THAT IS ON THEM. AND I JUST, YOU

6036
03:09:06,334 --> 03:09:10,472
KNOW, IT'S SHOCKING TO ME THAT 

6037
03:09:10,472 --> 03:09:11,940
ALL OF US COULD WALK INTO A 

6038
03:09:11,940 --> 03:09:13,809
STORE RIGHT NOW AND SOMEHOW EACH

6039
03:09:13,809 --> 03:09:16,511
AND EVERY ONE OF US COULD GET A 

6040
03:09:16,511 --> 03:09:19,114
DIFFERENT PRICE THAT IS QUITE 

6041
03:09:19,114 --> 03:09:20,549
DYSTOPIAN TO SOME OF THE SIGNS. 

6042
03:09:20,549 --> 03:09:26,288
IT'S CREEPY IT'S I, IT'S 

6043
03:09:26,288 --> 03:09:28,523
SHOCKING THAT IT'S NOT ILLEGAL.

6044
03:09:28,523 --> 03:09:29,224
AND THEN HOPEFULLY TODAY, AFTER 

6045
03:09:29,224 --> 03:09:33,161
TODAY'S VOTE, IT WILL BE AT 

6046
03:09:33,161 --> 03:09:35,864
LEAST AGAIN FOR GROCER LARGE 

6047
03:09:35,864 --> 03:09:38,567
RETAILERS OF GROCERIES FOR THIS 

6048
03:09:38,567 --> 03:09:40,669
ONE INDUSTRY. SO AGAIN, THANK 

6049
03:09:40,669 --> 03:09:42,704
YOU ALL FOR THIS INCREDIBLY 

6050
03:09:42,704 --> 03:09:46,808
IMPORTANT WORK. AND YOU KNOW, I 

6051
03:09:46,808 --> 03:09:47,442
CERTAINLY HOPE THAT THIS EXPANDS

6052
03:09:47,442 --> 03:09:51,446
TO OTHER AREAS, TO THE STATE, TO

6053
03:09:51,446 --> 03:09:53,181
THE FEDERAL LEVEL. NOBODY WANTS 

6054
03:09:53,181 --> 03:09:54,116
THEIR DATA TO BE EXPLOITED IN 

6055
03:09:54,116 --> 03:09:56,985
THIS WAY. OR WHY I CAN'T SAY 

6056
03:09:56,985 --> 03:09:59,020
NOBODY BUT THE LARGE, 

6057
03:09:59,020 --> 03:09:59,654
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY DOES NOT 

6058
03:09:59,654 --> 03:10:03,992
WANT THIS. AND THANK YOU FOR FOR

6059
03:10:03,992 --> 03:10:04,526
EVERYONE FOR MOVING THIS 

6060
03:10:04,526 --> 03:10:06,495
FORWARD. 

6061
03:10:06,495 --> 03:10:09,097
-- THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER LIN 

6062
03:10:09,097 --> 03:10:10,398
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA CO-SPONSOR OF

6063
03:10:10,398 --> 03:10:10,665
THE BILL. 

6064
03:10:10,665 --> 03:10:12,067
-- THANK YOU, MADAM COUNCIL 

6065
03:10:12,067 --> 03:10:14,836
PRESIDENT. THE TIME IS NOW TO 

6066
03:10:14,836 --> 03:10:18,607
PROTECT AFFORDABILITY FOR 

6067
03:10:18,607 --> 03:10:21,810
EVERYDAY SEATTLEITES THIS 

6068
03:10:21,810 --> 03:10:22,210
LEGISLATION IS A 

6069
03:10:22,210 --> 03:10:23,645
STRAIGHTFORWARD, COMMON SENSE 

6070
03:10:23,645 --> 03:10:26,681
STEP TO SHUT DOWN ALGORITHMIC 

6071
03:10:26,681 --> 03:10:29,918
PRICE GOUGING AND DISCRIMINATORY

6072
03:10:29,918 --> 03:10:30,719
SURVEILLANCE PRICING PRACTICES. 

6073
03:10:30,719 --> 03:10:35,924
IT DOES NOT LET ME EMPHASIZE AND

6074
03:10:35,924 --> 03:10:39,094
REPEAT. IT DOES NOT AT ALL BAN 

6075
03:10:39,094 --> 03:10:40,629
DISCOUNTS OR LOYALTY PROGRAMS. 

6076
03:10:40,629 --> 03:10:42,831
IN FACT, THERE ARE MULTIPLE 

6077
03:10:42,831 --> 03:10:44,866
PROVISIONS IN THE BILL THAT 

6078
03:10:44,866 --> 03:10:46,034
CLARIFIES AS MUCH AND MAKES 

6079
03:10:46,034 --> 03:10:47,502
CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT IT DOES NOT 

6080
03:10:47,502 --> 03:10:51,940
BAN THOSE THINGS. INSTEAD, IT 

6081
03:10:51,940 --> 03:10:52,541
SIMPLY ENDS PREDATORY TACTICS 

6082
03:10:52,541 --> 03:10:55,310
THAT QUIETLY INFLATE PRICES AND 

6083
03:10:55,310 --> 03:10:59,948
UNDERMINE TRUST AT ITS HEART, 

6084
03:10:59,948 --> 03:11:01,683
THIS BILL STRENGTHENS FAIRNESS, 

6085
03:11:01,683 --> 03:11:05,787
TRANSPARENCY AND AFFORDABILITY 

6086
03:11:05,787 --> 03:11:07,856
FOR EVERYONE BY PROHIBITING 

6087
03:11:07,856 --> 03:11:09,524
LARGE RETAILERS FROM USING 

6088
03:11:09,524 --> 03:11:10,158
PERSONAL DATA TO INFLATE PRICES.

6089
03:11:10,158 --> 03:11:12,327
THE BILL HELPS ENSURE 

6090
03:11:12,327 --> 03:11:14,396
SEATTLEITES ARE NOT PENALIZED 

6091
03:11:14,396 --> 03:11:17,232
BECAUSE OF THEIR DEMOGRAPHICS, 

6092
03:11:17,232 --> 03:11:20,068
INCOME LEVELS OR PERSONAL 

6093
03:11:20,068 --> 03:11:22,571
BROWSING HABITS. TALK ABOUT 

6094
03:11:22,571 --> 03:11:25,307
CREEPY IN DISTRICT ONE. MANY 

6095
03:11:25,307 --> 03:11:27,476
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE FOOD DESERTS 

6096
03:11:27,476 --> 03:11:28,777
TODAY, INCLUDING SOUTH PARK, 

6097
03:11:28,777 --> 03:11:29,911
GEORGETOWN, DELRIDGE, PIGEON 

6098
03:11:29,911 --> 03:11:35,484
POINT, AND PUGET RIDGE. MY 

6099
03:11:35,484 --> 03:11:38,019
CONSTITUENTS SHOULDN'T PAY MORE

6100
03:11:38,019 --> 03:11:38,486
JUST BECAUSE POWERFUL 

6101
03:11:38,486 --> 03:11:39,454
CORPORATIONS CAN GET AWAY WITH 

6102
03:11:39,454 --> 03:11:43,024
IT, OR BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE GOOD 

6103
03:11:43,024 --> 03:11:45,494
FOR BUSINESS. THIS LEGISLATION 

6104
03:11:45,494 --> 03:11:48,496
DRAWS A CLEAR LINE AFFORDABILITY

6105
03:11:48,496 --> 03:11:50,632
SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON HOW MUCH 

6106
03:11:50,632 --> 03:11:52,501
DATA A COMPANY COLLECTS AND 

6107
03:11:52,501 --> 03:11:57,172
MINDS ABOUT YOU. THE 

6108
03:11:57,172 --> 03:11:57,739
DELIBERATION AND AMENDMENT 

6109
03:11:57,739 --> 03:11:58,907
PROCESS MADE THIS BILL STRONGER 

6110
03:11:58,907 --> 03:12:01,343
AND MORE PRECISE. I BELIEVE 

6111
03:12:01,343 --> 03:12:03,879
THOUGHTFUL REFINEMENTS, IMPROVED

6112
03:12:03,879 --> 03:12:05,981
SAFEGUARDS, CLARIFIED INTENT AND

6113
03:12:05,981 --> 03:12:08,783
ENSURED THE POLICY RESPONDS 

6114
03:12:08,783 --> 03:12:11,920
DIRECTLY TO RISING HOUSEHOLD 

6115
03:12:11,920 --> 03:12:14,456
COSTS. NO BILL IS PERFECT, BUT 

6116
03:12:14,456 --> 03:12:18,293
THIS ONE IS NOW FIRMLY ALIGNED 

6117
03:12:18,293 --> 03:12:21,630
WITH ITS ORIGINALLY INTENDED 

6118
03:12:21,630 --> 03:12:22,230
GOAL PROTECTING CONSUMERS AND 

6119
03:12:22,230 --> 03:12:24,566
DEFENDING FAIR PRICES IN 

6120
03:12:24,566 --> 03:12:26,201
SEATTLE. SO FOR THOSE REASONS, 

6121
03:12:26,201 --> 03:12:28,003
I'M PROUD TO BE COSPONSORING 

6122
03:12:28,003 --> 03:12:30,071
THIS LEGISLATION AND EXCITED TO 

6123
03:12:30,071 --> 03:12:33,441
VOTE YES IN JUST A MOMENT. I 

6124
03:12:33,441 --> 03:12:35,844
WANT TO THANK MAYOR WILSON IN 

6125
03:12:35,844 --> 03:12:37,946
HER OFFICE FOR FOR SENDING THIS 

6126
03:12:37,946 --> 03:12:40,782
DOWN. I WANT TO THANK MY FELLOW 

6127
03:12:40,782 --> 03:12:43,118
CO-SPONSORS, THE PRIME SPONSOR, 

6128
03:12:43,118 --> 03:12:44,986
COUNCILMEMBER RINCK, AND MY 

6129
03:12:44,986 --> 03:12:47,022
FELLOW CO-SPONSOR, COUNCILMEMBER

6130
03:12:47,022 --> 03:12:48,523
FOSTER, AS WELL. APPRECIATE YOU 

6131
03:12:48,523 --> 03:12:49,324
AND YOUR YOUR STEADFAST 

6132
03:12:49,324 --> 03:12:51,326
LEADERSHIP AND VISION ON GETTING

6133
03:12:51,326 --> 03:12:55,697
US HERE AND THE FINAL THING THAT

6134
03:12:55,697 --> 03:12:57,766
I'LL SAY IS I AGREE WITH 

6135
03:12:57,766 --> 03:12:58,433
COUNCILMEMBER LIN WHEN HE SAID A

6136
03:12:58,433 --> 03:13:00,402
MOMENT AGO, I DON'T I DON'T VIEW

6137
03:13:00,402 --> 03:13:03,038
THIS AS A PARTISAN ISSUE BUT, 

6138
03:13:03,038 --> 03:13:05,173
YOU KNOW, TO DIRECTLY RESPOND TO

6139
03:13:05,173 --> 03:13:08,176
THE COMMENT, I THINK FROM 

6140
03:13:08,176 --> 03:13:09,844
BENNETT EARLIER TODAY THAT THIS 

6141
03:13:09,844 --> 03:13:12,314
IS A BIPARTISAN PIECE OF 

6142
03:13:12,314 --> 03:13:13,548
LEGISLATION, I SUPPOSE, BY 

6143
03:13:13,548 --> 03:13:16,952
SEATTLE STANDARDS, THAT'S NOT A

6144
03:13:16,952 --> 03:13:18,954
IT'S NOT A DIFFICULT STRETCH OF

6145
03:13:18,954 --> 03:13:19,654
THE IMAGINATION TO CONCLUDE AS 

6146
03:13:19,654 --> 03:13:22,057
MUCH. BUT BUT AGAIN, THIS IS NOT

6147
03:13:22,057 --> 03:13:23,792
NOT A PARTIZAN THING. THIS IS 

6148
03:13:23,792 --> 03:13:25,794
ABOUT AFFORDABILITY. IT'S ABOUT

6149
03:13:25,794 --> 03:13:27,195
TRANSPARENCY AND IT'S ABOUT 

6150
03:13:27,195 --> 03:13:31,166
FAIRNESS. THAT'S IT. 

6151
03:13:31,166 --> 03:13:31,766
NONPARTISAN ISSUES. SO AGAIN, 

6152
03:13:31,766 --> 03:13:34,269
FOR THOSE REASONS, HONORED TO 

6153
03:13:34,269 --> 03:13:36,404
SUPPORT IT. EXCITED TO VOTE YES 

6154
03:13:36,404 --> 03:13:36,738
FOR IT TODAY. 

6155
03:13:36,738 --> 03:13:39,908
-- THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 

6156
03:13:39,908 --> 03:13:41,710
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA. 

6157
03:13:41,710 --> 03:13:44,713
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER. AND THEN 

6158
03:13:44,713 --> 03:13:45,347
FOLLOWED BY COUNCILMEMBER RINCK.

6159
03:13:45,347 --> 03:13:47,248
-- GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, 

6160
03:13:47,248 --> 03:13:48,750
COUNCIL PRESIDENT, AND THANK 

6161
03:13:48,750 --> 03:13:49,784
YOU, COLLEAGUES. YOU KNOW, ONE 

6162
03:13:49,784 --> 03:13:51,519
OF THE THINGS THAT HAS BEEN ON 

6163
03:13:51,519 --> 03:13:53,421
MY MIND IS JUST HOW IMPORTANT IT

6164
03:13:53,421 --> 03:13:55,090
IS FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT 

6165
03:13:55,090 --> 03:13:56,358
WE'RE PROTECTING. WE TALK A LOT

6166
03:13:56,358 --> 03:13:57,025
ABOUT PROTECTING OUR RESIDENTS, 

6167
03:13:57,025 --> 03:13:59,661
AND SOME OF THAT IS CONSUMER 

6168
03:13:59,661 --> 03:14:00,662
PROTECTIONS. AND IT'S SO CLEAR 

6169
03:14:00,662 --> 03:14:03,098
TO ME THAT WHEN OTHERS FAIL TO 

6170
03:14:03,098 --> 03:14:05,700
ACT AND ADEQUATELY PROTECT 

6171
03:14:05,700 --> 03:14:07,969
CONSUMERS, IT'S THE JOB OF 

6172
03:14:07,969 --> 03:14:08,570
MUNICIPALITIES AND CITIES TO 

6173
03:14:08,570 --> 03:14:10,672
LEAD. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT 

6174
03:14:10,672 --> 03:14:12,207
THIS BILL DOES. SO I'LL START 

6175
03:14:12,207 --> 03:14:13,975
OFF WITH MY APPRECIATION TO THE 

6176
03:14:13,975 --> 03:14:15,410
MAYOR'S OFFICE, TO SIGAL KARAM,

6177
03:14:15,410 --> 03:14:16,311
MANY OF THE OTHER FOLKS WHO 

6178
03:14:16,311 --> 03:14:18,847
WORKED TIRELESSLY ON THIS FOR 

6179
03:14:18,847 --> 03:14:21,049
SEVERAL MONTHS. THANK YOU FOR 

6180
03:14:21,049 --> 03:14:21,883
YOUR WORK AND YOUR LEADERSHIP, 

6181
03:14:21,883 --> 03:14:23,718
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE 

6182
03:14:23,718 --> 03:14:24,886
ORGANIZERS AND THE ADVOCATES AND

6183
03:14:24,886 --> 03:14:26,221
EVERYBODY THAT'S ENGAGED IN THIS

6184
03:14:26,221 --> 03:14:27,956
PROCESS. I KNOW, ESPECIALLY TO 

6185
03:14:27,956 --> 03:14:29,324
THE FRONTLINE WORKERS AT UFCW, I

6186
03:14:29,324 --> 03:14:30,492
THINK COUNCILMEMBER LIN, YOU 

6187
03:14:30,492 --> 03:14:32,560
SAID IT VERY WELL EARLIER TODAY 

6188
03:14:32,560 --> 03:14:33,528
IN TERMS OF THE RINGING OF THE 

6189
03:14:33,528 --> 03:14:35,463
ALARM BELLS, THAT THAT THE 

6190
03:14:35,463 --> 03:14:37,065
FRONTLINE STAFF ARE DOING IN 

6191
03:14:37,065 --> 03:14:40,168
TERMS OF ON THIS ISSUE, YOU 

6192
03:14:40,168 --> 03:14:41,536
KNOW, I WILL JUST BRING US BACK 

6193
03:14:41,536 --> 03:14:42,404
TO SOMETHING THAT I HEARD IN 

6194
03:14:42,404 --> 03:14:43,271
COMMITTEE. I KNOW TODAY WE 

6195
03:14:43,271 --> 03:14:45,807
DIDN'T WE DIDN'T REHASH SOME OF

6196
03:14:45,807 --> 03:14:46,441
THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD IN 

6197
03:14:46,441 --> 03:14:47,575
COMMITTEE, BUT SOMETHING THAT 

6198
03:14:47,575 --> 03:14:48,576
HAS JUST STUCK WITH ME THROUGH 

6199
03:14:48,576 --> 03:14:49,277
THIS PROCESS, AND I'LL SAY 

6200
03:14:49,277 --> 03:14:50,912
AGAIN, IS WHAT WE HEARD FROM 

6201
03:14:50,912 --> 03:14:53,281
SOMEBODY SAYING, I STOOD IN A 

6202
03:14:53,281 --> 03:14:53,915
GROCERY STORE AND I LOOKED AT 

6203
03:14:53,915 --> 03:14:55,083
THE PRICE ON MY PHONE AND I 

6204
03:14:55,083 --> 03:14:56,317
TALKED TO SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE 

6205
03:14:56,317 --> 03:14:58,520
SAME GROCERY STORE AT THE SAME 

6206
03:14:58,520 --> 03:14:59,988
MOMENT IN TIME, WHO HAD A 

6207
03:14:59,988 --> 03:15:02,190
DIFFERENT PRICE ON THEIR PHONE. 

6208
03:15:02,190 --> 03:15:03,591
AND THAT JUST SHOULDN'T BE THE 

6209
03:15:03,591 --> 03:15:06,461
CASE. RIGHT? AND IT SHOULDN'T BE

6210
03:15:06,461 --> 03:15:07,562
THE CASE, PARTICULARLY BASED ON 

6211
03:15:07,562 --> 03:15:09,831
DATA THAT THESE LARGE COMPANIES 

6212
03:15:09,831 --> 03:15:12,233
ARE COLLECTING FROM US. YOU 

6213
03:15:12,233 --> 03:15:14,469
KNOW, I'VE SAID BEFORE I LEAVE 

6214
03:15:14,469 --> 03:15:15,537
MY HOUSE AND I GO TO THE LIBRARY

6215
03:15:15,537 --> 03:15:18,606
WHEN I BUY A PLANE TICKET 

6216
03:15:18,606 --> 03:15:20,408
BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF MY MY DAD,

6217
03:15:20,408 --> 03:15:22,610
I GET ON A PRIVATE BROWSER, BUT 

6218
03:15:22,610 --> 03:15:23,311
WE CAN'T ASK THAT OF PEOPLE 

6219
03:15:23,311 --> 03:15:24,779
WHEN THEY'RE SHOPPING FOR THEIR

6220
03:15:24,779 --> 03:15:26,247
GROCERIES, RIGHT? PEOPLE SHOULD 

6221
03:15:26,247 --> 03:15:28,216
BE ABLE TO GO TO THE STORE, SEE 

6222
03:15:28,216 --> 03:15:29,384
A FAIR PRICE ON THE SHELF, AND 

6223
03:15:29,384 --> 03:15:31,986
CHECK OUT. IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT

6224
03:15:31,986 --> 03:15:34,122
THE VALUE OF SOMEONE'S DATA 

6225
03:15:34,122 --> 03:15:34,956
DETERMINES THE VALUE OF THE ITEM

6226
03:15:34,956 --> 03:15:37,258
THAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR. AND 

6227
03:15:37,258 --> 03:15:38,827
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP, THIS 

6228
03:15:38,827 --> 03:15:40,628
REGULATION, TO PROTECT OUR 

6229
03:15:40,628 --> 03:15:42,330
CONSUMERS FROM THAT KIND OF 

6230
03:15:42,330 --> 03:15:44,833
PRICE GOUGING AND VALUING AND 

6231
03:15:44,833 --> 03:15:45,467
MANIPULATION OF INFORMATION THAT

6232
03:15:45,467 --> 03:15:47,402
COMPANIES HAVE ABOUT THEM. AT 

6233
03:15:47,402 --> 03:15:48,570
THE SAME TIME, IT'S AN IMPORTANT

6234
03:15:48,570 --> 03:15:50,405
THING FOR US TO TAKE ON BECAUSE 

6235
03:15:50,405 --> 03:15:53,241
AS WE'VE HEARD TODAY, 

6236
03:15:53,241 --> 03:15:53,742
AFFORDABILITY REMAINS A 

6237
03:15:53,742 --> 03:15:55,076
CHALLENGE. AND SO KNOWING THAT 

6238
03:15:55,076 --> 03:15:56,644
WHAT WE'VE SEEN FROM CONSUMER 

6239
03:15:56,644 --> 03:15:58,613
REPORTS AND OTHER DATA ON HOW 

6240
03:15:58,613 --> 03:16:00,381
THIS TECHNOLOGY AND THIS 

6241
03:16:00,381 --> 03:16:02,817
PRACTICE CAN BE USED TO INCREASE

6242
03:16:02,817 --> 03:16:03,685
PRICES FOR FOLKS IS JUST 

6243
03:16:03,685 --> 03:16:05,120
SOMETHING WE SHOULD NOT ACCEPT 

6244
03:16:05,120 --> 03:16:06,888
AT ALL. ON ITS FACE. I'M REALLY

6245
03:16:06,888 --> 03:16:10,492
PROUD OF US FOR TAKING ACTION. I

6246
03:16:10,492 --> 03:16:11,059
WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER 

6247
03:16:11,059 --> 03:16:12,727
RINCK FOR HER LEADERSHIP, AND I 

6248
03:16:12,727 --> 03:16:14,295
KNOW YOU'LL APPRECIATE YOUR 

6249
03:16:14,295 --> 03:16:15,463
STAFF FOR THEIR WORK AS WELL ON 

6250
03:16:15,463 --> 03:16:18,333
THIS REALLY IMPORTANT POLICY. IT

6251
03:16:18,333 --> 03:16:20,235
TAKES A LOT TO LEAD, AND I'M 

6252
03:16:20,235 --> 03:16:22,070
VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR 

6253
03:16:22,070 --> 03:16:23,605
STEPPING INTO THAT AND FOR 

6254
03:16:23,605 --> 03:16:25,273
MOVING THIS BILL FORWARD AND 

6255
03:16:25,273 --> 03:16:26,908
STEWARDING A REALLY STRONG 

6256
03:16:26,908 --> 03:16:27,509
PROCESS. SO WITH THAT, THANK 

6257
03:16:27,509 --> 03:16:29,277
YOU. I'M EXCITED TO VOTE YES 

6258
03:16:29,277 --> 03:16:29,511
TODAY. 

6259
03:16:29,511 --> 03:16:31,146
-- THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

6260
03:16:31,146 --> 03:16:32,981
FOSTER COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. 

6261
03:16:32,981 --> 03:16:34,549
-- THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

6262
03:16:34,549 --> 03:16:35,617
ALL RIGHT. WE'VE WE'VE MADE IT.

6263
03:16:35,617 --> 03:16:37,485
THANK YOU, EVERYONE, FOR HANGING

6264
03:16:37,485 --> 03:16:40,355
IN. IT'S GOOD TO SEE THESE 

6265
03:16:40,355 --> 03:16:42,257
CHAMBERS STILL QUITE FULL FOR 

6266
03:16:42,257 --> 03:16:44,092
THIS EXCITING MOMENT. NOW 

6267
03:16:44,092 --> 03:16:46,327
COLLEAGUES, THIS LEGISLATION IS 

6268
03:16:46,327 --> 03:16:47,729
BASED ON A SIMPLE PRINCIPLE THAT

6269
03:16:47,729 --> 03:16:49,063
THE PRICE OF GROCERIES SHOULD BE

6270
03:16:49,063 --> 03:16:50,965
BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT,

6271
03:16:50,965 --> 03:16:52,267
NOT ON WHO THE SHOPPER IS OR 

6272
03:16:52,267 --> 03:16:53,968
WHAT AN ALGORITHM THINKS THEY 

6273
03:16:53,968 --> 03:16:56,037
SHOULD PAY. THE QUESTION. AS 

6274
03:16:56,037 --> 03:17:00,408
WE'VE UNPACKED, THE QUESTION IS

6275
03:17:00,408 --> 03:17:02,744
NOT WHETHER THIS TECHNOLOGY IS 

6276
03:17:02,744 --> 03:17:05,613
POSSIBLE. IT'S WHETHER SEATTLE 

6277
03:17:05,613 --> 03:17:06,247
ESTABLISHES RULES BEFORE THESE 

6278
03:17:06,247 --> 03:17:07,949
EXPERIMENTS BECOME STANDARD 

6279
03:17:07,949 --> 03:17:10,451
PRACTICE AND MUCH HARDER TO 

6280
03:17:10,451 --> 03:17:11,519
UNWIND. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF 

6281
03:17:11,519 --> 03:17:13,655
DISCUSSION ON DISCOUNT PROGRAMS,

6282
03:17:13,655 --> 03:17:15,590
BUT I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY 

6283
03:17:15,590 --> 03:17:17,492
CLEAR THAT NO COMPANY INVESTS 

6284
03:17:17,492 --> 03:17:18,226
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS 

6285
03:17:18,226 --> 03:17:20,695
TECHNOLOGY JUST TO GIVE EVERYONE

6286
03:17:20,695 --> 03:17:24,833
DISCOUNTS SO DO WE WANT TO 

6287
03:17:24,833 --> 03:17:27,302
CREATE AN ECONOMY WHERE DATA 

6288
03:17:27,302 --> 03:17:28,636
BROKERS COLLECT 2000 DATA POINTS

6289
03:17:28,636 --> 03:17:30,438
ON YOU TO TAILOR ALL OF YOUR 

6290
03:17:30,438 --> 03:17:32,106
PRICES FOR YOU, FOR BETTER OR 

6291
03:17:32,106 --> 03:17:33,708
FOR WORSE? THAT'S NOT THE 

6292
03:17:33,708 --> 03:17:35,243
FOUNDATION OF A FAIR 

6293
03:17:35,243 --> 03:17:36,344
MARKETPLACE, AND I DO NOT 

6294
03:17:36,344 --> 03:17:37,879
BELIEVE THAT IS THE ECONOMY THAT

6295
03:17:37,879 --> 03:17:40,481
WILL SERVE WORKING PEOPLE WELL. 

6296
03:17:40,481 --> 03:17:42,851
AND THAT IS WHY THIS LEGISLATION

6297
03:17:42,851 --> 03:17:44,052
IS SO IMPORTANT. THAT'S WHY 

6298
03:17:44,052 --> 03:17:47,088
WE'VE WORKED IN PARTNERSHIP 

6299
03:17:47,088 --> 03:17:48,489
WITH DATA PRIVACY EXPERTS, 

6300
03:17:48,489 --> 03:17:49,090
CONSUMER PROTECTION EXPERTS, 

6301
03:17:49,090 --> 03:17:50,658
COMMUNITY ADVOCATES, LABOR 

6302
03:17:50,658 --> 03:17:52,861
PARTNERS, AND YES, GROCERY 

6303

6304
03:17:54,529 --> 03:17:57,465
MEANINGFUL POLICY TO ADDRESS 

6305
03:17:57,465 --> 03:17:59,033
THESE PRACTICES. I'M SO PROUD 

6306
03:17:59,033 --> 03:18:00,935
AND HONESTLY VERY GRATEFUL TO 

6307

LEAD SPONSOR. BUT I WANT TO BE
