MOVE FORWARD THE HOUSING 

239
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:36,415
OPPORTUNITIES PACKAGE. I'VE 

240
00:08:36,415 --> 00:08:37,517
SPENT THE LAST DECADE BUILDING A

241
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:38,751
COMPANY, HELPING PEOPLE LIKE 

242
00:08:38,751 --> 00:08:41,020
NURSES, TEACHERS, FIREFIGHTERS 

243
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:42,255
BE ABLE TO AFFORD BUYING HOMES 

244
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:43,289
AND COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE. 

245
00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:44,557
ONE THING I LEARNED FROM THAT 

246
00:08:44,557 --> 00:08:45,958
WORK IS YOU CAN DO ALL THE 

247
00:08:45,958 --> 00:08:47,226
INNOVATION AND FINANCE YOU WANT,

248
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:48,594
BUT [ INAUDIBLE ] HOMES TO BUY, 

249
00:08:48,594 --> 00:08:49,762
THEN THEY KEEP GOING TO FOLKS 

250
00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:51,030
WHO OUTBID THE FOLKS [ INAUDIBLE

251
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:52,431
] ENOUGH MONEY FOR DOWN PAYMENT.

252
00:08:52,431 --> 00:08:54,901
SO, [ INAUDIBLE ] IS WHAT I WAS 

253
00:08:54,901 --> 00:08:57,370
ACTUALLY AT BLOCKING MORE HOMES 

254
00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:58,604
FROM BEING ADDED TO SPECIFICALLY

255
00:08:58,604 --> 00:08:59,372
ZONING RESTRICTIONS TO PREVENT 

256
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:01,173
MORE HOMES FROM BEING BUILT. [ 

257
00:09:01,173 --> 00:09:02,542
INAUDIBLE ]  AND ALLOWING MORE 

258
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:09,815
EMPTY BUILDINGS SITTING TO 

259
00:09:09,815 --> 00:09:11,017
BECOME HOMES. SO, THIS IS REALLY

260
00:09:11,017 --> 00:09:12,218
JUST ABOUT WHO GETS TO LIVE 

261
00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:13,653
HERE, NOT JUST WHO CAN OUTBID [ 

262
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:15,821

SEATTLEITE I AM HERE TO SUPPORT 

274
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:39,612
[ INAUDIBLE ]. PRESERVING THE 

275
00:09:39,612 --> 00:09:40,580
LOCAL CHARACTER OF SEATTLE AND 

276
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:41,814
THERE IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF 

277
00:09:41,814 --> 00:09:43,015
LOCAL CHARACTER THAT I WANT TO 

278
00:09:43,015 --> 00:09:44,283
TALK ABOUT TODAY WHICH IS I 

279
00:09:44,283 --> 00:09:45,284
REMEMBER A SEATTLE WHEN THE 

280
00:09:45,284 --> 00:09:46,519
PEOPLE WHO MADE THE CITY RUN 

281
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:48,020
COULD AFFORD TO LIVE HERE. THE 

282
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:48,688
BARTENDERS, THE TEACHERS, THE 

283
00:09:48,688 --> 00:09:51,958
ARTIST , THE SOCIAL WORKERS 

284
00:09:51,958 --> 00:09:53,025
COULD AFFORD TO BE OUR 

285
00:09:53,025 --> 00:09:54,026
NEIGHBORS. AND THE FACT THAT 

286
00:09:54,026 --> 00:09:55,261
THEY CAN'T ANYMORE IS A HUGE 

287
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:56,462
LOSS OF CHARACTER [ INAUDIBLE ].

288
00:09:56,462 --> 00:09:59,966
SO, I SUPPORT HOP BECAUSE ZONING

289
00:09:59,966 --> 00:10:01,267
CREATES DENSITY, WHICH CREATES 

290
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:01,734
SUPPLY, WHICH CREATES 

291
00:10:01,734 --> 00:10:03,602
AFFORDABILITY. SO, I AM ASKING

00:39:37,308 --> 00:39:39,276
REMOVES ROADBLOCKS TO HOUSING 

1091
00:39:39,276 --> 00:39:40,344
PRODUCTION IS REALLY THE ONLY 

1092
00:39:40,344 --> 00:39:41,746
WAY THAT WE CAN GET [ INAUDIBLE 

1093
00:39:41,746 --> 00:39:43,347

1094
00:39:43,347 --> 00:39:44,582

1095
00:39:44,582 --> 00:39:46,751
SPENT A TON OF TIME WITH CITY

00:45:48,278 --> 00:45:50,314
US AS A COUNCIL FOR THE 

1268
00:45:50,314 --> 00:45:51,215
LEGISLATION WE PASSED YESTERDAY,

1269
00:45:51,215 --> 00:45:53,517
BUT WE ALSO KNOW A CONSTRAINT IS

1270
00:45:53,517 --> 00:45:54,485
SITES, AND WITH SITES LIMITED, 

1271
00:45:54,485 --> 00:45:55,919
WE NEED TO BE SMARTER ABOUT HOW 

1272
00:45:55,919 --> 00:45:57,454
WE USE THE ONES THAT WE HAVE 

1273
00:45:57,454 --> 00:45:58,188
YESTERDAY, WE PASSED LEGISLATION

1274
00:45:58,188 --> 00:45:59,423
THAT ALLOWS THE CITY TO LEASE 

1275
00:45:59,423 --> 00:46:00,724
LAND OR TRANSITIONAL ENCAMPMENTS

1276
00:46:00,724 --> 00:46:03,961
AND ALSO FINDING TOP STANDUP 

1277
00:46:03,961 --> 00:46:04,795
ADDITIONAL SHELTER UNITS. TODAY 

1278
00:46:04,795 --> 00:46:05,929
AS WE ARE CONSIDERING THIS 

1279
00:46:05,929 --> 00:46:07,030
LEGISLATION, WE ARE REMINDING 

1280
00:46:07,030 --> 00:46:08,799
OUR AUTHORITY TO ACTUALLY 

1281
00:46:08,799 --> 00:46:17,608
DELIVER MORE UNITS OF SHELTER. 

1282
00:46:17,608 --> 00:46:18,909
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, OVER THE 

1283
00:46:18,909 --> 00:46:20,210
LAST SEVERAL WEEKS SINCE THIS 

1284
00:46:20,210 --> 00:46:20,844
LEGISLATION WAS SENT DOWN, MY 

1285
00:46:20,844 --> 00:46:22,212
OFFICE HAS ENGAGED DEEPLY WITH 

1286
00:46:22,212 --> 00:46:23,180
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, AS WELL AS 

1287
00:46:23,180 --> 00:46:24,314
WITH WRITERS ACROSS THE CITY AND

1288
00:46:24,314 --> 00:46:25,716
I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR 

1289
00:46:25,716 --> 00:46:26,917
TIME. WHAT WE HAVE HEARD IS 

1290
00:46:26,917 --> 00:46:28,185
CLEAR, THAT THERE IS A REAL 

1291
00:46:28,185 --> 00:46:30,988
OPPORTUNITY TO OPERATE LARGER 

1292
00:46:30,988 --> 00:46:32,422
SITES IN A WAY THAT WORKS, AND 

1293
00:46:32,422 --> 00:46:33,423
THAT OPPORTUNITY IS REFLECTED IN

1294
00:46:33,423 --> 00:46:34,525
SOME OF THE PRE-INTRODUCTION 

1295
00:46:34,525 --> 00:46:36,693
CHANGES THAT COLLEAGUES, YOU 

1296
00:46:36,693 --> 00:46:37,895
HAVE SEEN IN THE LEGISLATION IN 

1297
00:46:37,895 --> 00:46:39,463
FRONT OF US TODAY. THOSE CHANGES

1298
00:46:39,463 --> 00:46:40,964
INCLUDE FOCUSING ON A SINGLE 

1299
00:46:40,964 --> 00:46:42,666
PILOT SITE THAT CAN GO UP TO 250

1300
00:46:42,666 --> 00:46:45,035
RESIDENTS, AND PROVIDING CLEARER

1301
00:46:45,035 --> 00:46:46,003
DEFINITIONS AROUND WHAT 

1302
00:46:46,003 --> 00:46:49,006
TRANSITIONAL ENCAMPMENTS MEAN, 

1303
00:46:49,006 --> 00:46:50,107
SO FOCUS THIS SPECIFICALLY ON 

1304
00:46:50,107 --> 00:46:51,975
TINY HOUSE VILLAGES AND RVs. WE 

1305
00:46:51,975 --> 00:46:53,977
ARE DOING THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF

1306
00:46:53,977 --> 00:46:56,380
A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AT OUR 

1307
00:46:56,380 --> 00:46:57,447
COMMUNITY, SO WE WANT TO MAKE 

1308
00:46:57,447 --> 00:47:00,284
SURE THAT WE ARE BEING FOCUSED, 

1309
00:47:00,284 --> 00:47:02,219
THAT WE ARE BEING STRATEGIC, AND

1310
00:47:02,219 --> 00:47:03,387
WE ARE BEING REALISTIC ABOUT THE

1311
00:47:03,387 --> 00:47:04,454
RESOURCES AND THE ATTENTION THAT

1312
00:47:04,454 --> 00:47:08,725
IS GOING TO BE NEEDED TO OPERATE

1313
00:47:08,725 --> 00:47:09,893
THIS PROJECT AT SCALE, SO THIS 

1314
00:47:09,893 --> 00:47:10,727
PROPOSAL REFLECTS A CLOSE 

1315
00:47:10,727 --> 00:47:12,095
COORDINATION BETWEEN MY OFFICE 

1316
00:47:12,095 --> 00:47:13,564
AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, AND 

1317
00:47:13,564 --> 00:47:14,631
WITH THIS COMING TO COMMITTEE, I

1318
00:47:14,631 --> 00:47:15,699
AM EXCITED TO CONTINUE THIS 

1319
00:47:15,699 --> 00:47:16,800
CONVERSATION WITH COLLEAGUES. 

1320
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:25,509
LASTLY, AS A REMINDER, 

1321
00:47:25,509 --> 00:47:26,210

THE GATE, WE KNOW IT HAS BEEN A 

1379
00:49:11,248 --> 00:49:12,816
BIT OF A BREAKNECK PACE AND WE

DIVE IN TODAY ABOUT THE LAST 

1385
00:49:18,822 --> 00:49:24,761
PIECE OF THIS PARTICULAR POLICY 

1386
00:49:24,761 --> 00:49:26,063
PACKAGE AND WE ARE REALLY 

1387
00:49:26,063 --> 00:49:26,830
LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO

1388
00:49:26,830 --> 00:49:28,231
WORK WITH YOU ALL ON THE DETAILS

1389
00:49:28,231 --> 00:49:29,366
AND IMPLEMENTATION TO MAKE SURE 

1390
00:49:29,366 --> 00:49:30,400
THIS IS SUCCESSFUL, SO WE CAN 

1391
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,202
MAKE A REAL IMPACT ON REDUCING 

1392
00:49:32,202 --> 00:49:34,071
HOMELESSNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY. 

1393
00:49:34,071 --> 00:49:35,539
SO, THE REASON WE ARE HERE TODAY

1394
00:49:35,539 --> 00:49:38,175
IS TO DISCUSS LEGISLATION AROUND

1395
00:49:38,175 --> 00:49:40,077
CENSUS NUMBERS AT INDIVIDUAL 

1396
00:49:40,077 --> 00:49:43,580
SITES. THE REASON WE BROUGHT 

1397
00:49:43,580 --> 00:49:45,248
THIS TO YOU ALL TODAY IS THE 

1398
00:49:45,248 --> 00:49:48,752
MAYOR'S OFFICE CONVENED 

1399
00:49:48,752 --> 00:49:49,786
INTERDEPARTMENTAL TEAM EARLIER 

1400
00:49:49,786 --> 00:49:52,322
THIS YEAR TO IDENTIFY POLICIES 

1401
00:49:52,322 --> 00:49:53,690
THAT COULD FACILITATE EXPANSION 

1402
00:49:53,690 --> 00:49:55,125
OF TRANSITIONAL ENCAMPMENTS IN 

1403
00:49:55,125 --> 00:49:59,930
OUR CITY, AND ONE OF THE AREAS 

1404
00:49:59,930 --> 00:50:00,697
OF OPPORTUNITY THEY IDENTIFIED 

1405
00:50:00,697 --> 00:50:01,998
WAS EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF 

1406
00:50:01,998 --> 00:50:04,134
PEOPLE THAT COULD BE HOUSED AT 

1407
00:50:04,134 --> 00:50:05,135
AN INDIVIDUAL SITE. OUR CURRENT 

1408
00:50:05,135 --> 00:50:06,970
LAND USE CODE LIMITS SITES TO 

1409
00:50:06,970 --> 00:50:09,439
100 PEOPLE. WHEN WE HAVE LIMITED

1410
00:50:09,439 --> 00:50:16,213
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SITES FOR [ 

1411
00:50:16,213 --> 00:50:17,414
INAUDIBLE ], WE WANT TO MAKE 

1412
00:50:17,414 --> 00:50:18,682
SURE WE ARE USING OUR PUBLIC 

1413
00:50:18,682 --> 00:50:20,250
RESOURCES WELL AND RESPONSIBLY 

1414
00:50:20,250 --> 00:50:21,318
AND EFFICIENTLY, SO WE WOULD 

1415
00:50:21,318 --> 00:50:22,519
LIKE TO SEE THE OPPORTUNITY TO 

1416
00:50:22,519 --> 00:50:25,589
EXPAND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE 

1417
00:50:25,589 --> 00:50:26,656
CITED AT THOSE LOCATIONS. FOR 

1418
00:50:26,656 --> 00:50:27,958
EXAMPLE, WE HAVE SOME PUBLICLY 

1419
00:50:27,958 --> 00:50:31,628
OWNED SITES THAT HAVE A MICRO 

1420
00:50:31,628 --> 00:50:32,596
SHELTER CITED ALREADY, AND SOME 

1421
00:50:32,596 --> 00:50:34,131
OF THOSE HAVE UNUSED LAND, WE 

1422
00:50:34,131 --> 00:50:35,799
WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO USE 

1423
00:50:35,799 --> 00:50:37,000
THAT LAND. SO, WITH THAT, I'M 

1424
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,402
GOING TO PASS IT TO MY 

1425
00:50:38,402 --> 00:50:42,105
COLLEAGUE, JON, WILL GET US INTO

1426
00:50:42,105 --> 00:50:43,373
THE DETAILS OF THIS PARTICULAR 

1427
00:50:43,373 --> 00:50:48,245
LEGISLATION. 

1428
00:50:48,245 --> 00:50:49,379
>> GOOD MORNING, COUNCILMEMBERS.

1429
00:50:49,379 --> 00:50:50,747
I WILL TRY TO KEEP THIS PART OF 

1430
00:50:50,747 --> 00:50:51,782
THE PRESENTATION BRIEF BECAUSE I

1431
00:50:51,782 --> 00:50:52,883
KNOW THAT SEVERAL STAFF HAVE A 

1432
00:50:52,883 --> 00:50:54,084
MORE EXTENSIVE PRESENTATION TO 

1433
00:50:54,084 --> 00:50:56,153
GO OVER SOME OF THE NUANCES OF 

1434
00:50:56,153 --> 00:50:57,654
THE POLICY, BUT AT A HIGH LEVEL,

1435
00:50:57,654 --> 00:50:59,589
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO DO IS TO 

1436
00:50:59,589 --> 00:51:01,158
PASS INTERIM LEGISLATION THAT 

1437
00:51:01,158 --> 00:51:03,093
WOULD ALLOW FOR MICRO MODULAR 

1438
00:51:03,093 --> 00:51:07,864
SHELTERS AND RV AND VEHICLE SAVE

1439
00:51:07,864 --> 00:51:11,001
LOTS TO GO FROM LIMITATION OF 

1440
00:51:11,001 --> 00:51:12,169
100 PEOPLE PER SITE TO 150 

1441
00:51:12,169 --> 00:51:14,070
PEOPLE CITYWIDE. AND TO ALLOW 

1442
00:51:14,070 --> 00:51:19,676
FOR ONE SITE , AGAIN, LIMITED TO

1443
00:51:19,676 --> 00:51:22,979
MICRO MODULAR [ INAUDIBLE ] SAVE

1444
00:51:22,979 --> 00:51:25,282
LOTS TO GO UP TO 250 PEOPLE. AND

1445
00:51:25,282 --> 00:51:26,516
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE 

1446
00:51:26,516 --> 00:51:28,685
FOR THE PUBLIC THAT THIS IS A 

1447
00:51:28,685 --> 00:51:33,423
BIT OF A SMALL CHANGE TO THE 

1448
00:51:33,423 --> 00:51:34,791
ORIGINAL LEGISLATION. WE HAVE 

1449
00:51:34,791 --> 00:51:35,358
MADE SOME PRE-INTRODUCTION 

1450
00:51:35,358 --> 00:51:37,027
CHANGES, SO THAT WE CAN NARROW 

1451
00:51:37,027 --> 00:51:38,762
THE FOCUS OF THE LEGISLATION 

1452
00:51:38,762 --> 00:51:40,130
TOWARDS ONE PILOT PROGRAM THAT 

1453
00:51:40,130 --> 00:51:42,399
WOULD BE AT THAT LARGER 250 

1454
00:51:42,399 --> 00:51:49,372
PERSON SITE. I THINK THE INTENT 

1455
00:51:49,372 --> 00:51:50,574
THERE IS TO KIND OF DEMONSTRATE 

1456
00:51:50,574 --> 00:51:52,309
THAT, ONE, WE CAN DO IT, WE CAN 

1457
00:51:52,309 --> 00:51:53,677
DO IT WELL, AND THAT WE ARE 

1458
00:51:53,677 --> 00:51:55,011
MOVING AT A PACE THAT IS 

1459
00:51:55,011 --> 00:51:56,880
REASONABLE AND DEVELOP THE 

1460
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,081
APPROPRIATE POLICIES AND 

1461
00:51:58,081 --> 00:52:00,584
PROCEDURES TO DO SO. THIS WOULD 

1462
00:52:00,584 --> 00:52:01,985
BE INTERIM LEGISLATION THAT 

1463
00:52:01,985 --> 00:52:03,653
EXPIRES AFTER 12 MONTHS. THERE 

1464
00:52:03,653 --> 00:52:05,021
IS AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE OF THE 

1465
00:52:05,021 --> 00:52:06,289
LEGISLATION . NORMALLY THE WAY 

1466
00:52:06,289 --> 00:52:11,061
THIS WOULD WORK IS THAT STSCI 

1467
00:52:11,061 --> 00:52:12,596
WOULD HAVE TO DO AN ANALYSIS 

1468
00:52:12,596 --> 00:52:13,864
BEFORE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH 

1469
00:52:13,864 --> 00:52:15,198
THE POLICY. BUT GIVEN THE 

1470
00:52:15,198 --> 00:52:16,199
URGENCY OF THIS MATTER, THIS 

1471
00:52:16,199 --> 00:52:19,336
WILL ALLOW THE COUNCIL TO ADOPT 

1472
00:52:19,336 --> 00:52:20,370
THIS LEGISLATION, AND THEN SDCI 

1473
00:52:20,370 --> 00:52:25,775
PURPORTEDLY CAN PROCEED WITH 

1474
00:52:25,775 --> 00:52:27,244
ANALYSIS AT THE SAME TIME, SO BY

1475
00:52:27,244 --> 00:52:28,378
THE TIME YOU INTRODUCE PERMANENT

1476
00:52:28,378 --> 00:52:29,179
LEGISLATION, ALL OF THAT 

1477
00:52:29,179 --> 00:52:31,014
ANALYSIS AND THE SDCI DEPARTMENT

1478
00:52:31,014 --> 00:52:33,884
WILL PRODUCE A REPORT TO 

1479
00:52:33,884 --> 00:52:34,751
FINALIZE LEGISLATION ALONG THE 

1480
00:52:34,751 --> 00:52:37,487
TERMS OF THE COUNCIL DEEMS 

1481
00:52:37,487 --> 00:52:41,825
SATISFACTORY. SO, WHAT ARE WE 

1482
00:52:41,825 --> 00:52:45,662
TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH TODAY? I 

1483
00:52:45,662 --> 00:52:46,763
THINK THAT WHAT WE ARE SEEING 

1484
00:52:46,763 --> 00:52:47,931
ACROSS THE COUNTRY IS THAT THERE

1485
00:52:47,931 --> 00:52:49,566
ARE SUCCESSFUL MODELS OF LARGE 

1486
00:52:49,566 --> 00:52:50,467
MICRO MODULAR SHELTERS. SEATTLE 

1487
00:52:50,467 --> 00:52:53,103
IS ONE OF THE FIRST OF THE 

1488
00:52:53,103 --> 00:52:57,073
NATION TO INNOVATE AND CREATE 

1489
00:52:57,073 --> 00:52:59,943
THIS MODEL. BUT TYPICALLY , TINY

1490
00:52:59,943 --> 00:53:01,144
HOUSE VILLAGES OR MICRO MODULAR 

1491
00:53:01,144 --> 00:53:03,113
PROGRAMS RANGE BETWEEN, YOU 

1492
00:53:03,113 --> 00:53:07,817
KNOW, 50 UNITS TO ABOUT -- AT 

1493
00:53:07,817 --> 00:53:13,323
BIGGEST, 85 UNITS. BUT WHAT WE 

1494
00:53:13,323 --> 00:53:14,558
ARE SEEING ACROSS THE COUNTRY IS

1495
00:53:14,558 --> 00:53:15,492
THAT OTHER CITIES HAVE TAKEN 

1496
00:53:15,492 --> 00:53:16,560
THIS MODEL AND EXPANDED IT 

1497
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:17,360
SIGNIFICANTLY. WITH SOME SITES 

1498
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,463
GOING AS LARGE AS 100 TO UP TO 

1499
00:53:20,463 --> 00:53:22,032
220 UNITS PER SITE, OR SOMETIMES

1500
00:53:22,032 --> 00:53:23,833
MORE. THE LARGEST SITES THAT WE 

1501
00:53:23,833 --> 00:53:26,970
FOUND ACTUALLY SERVES 300 PEOPLE

1502
00:53:26,970 --> 00:53:31,641
IN A SINGLE LOCATION. SO, HERE 

1503
00:53:31,641 --> 00:53:33,143
ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES. THERE IS

1504
00:53:33,143 --> 00:53:34,277
TAMPA HOPE, WHICH IS IN TAMPA, 

1505
00:53:34,277 --> 00:53:40,383
FLORIDA, THAT IS 215 UNITS, +116

1506
00:53:40,383 --> 00:53:42,285
PLATFORM TENTS THAT SERVES 345 

1507
00:53:42,285 --> 00:53:43,820
PEOPLE. YOU MAY ALL RECALL THAT 

1508
00:53:43,820 --> 00:53:44,921
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FROM 

1509
00:53:44,921 --> 00:53:48,391
TAMPA HOPE ACTUALLY TESTIFIED AT

1510
00:53:48,391 --> 00:53:49,092

00:53:51,294 --> 00:53:54,397
OPERATES , AND I WILL TALK MORE 

1514
00:53:54,397 --> 00:53:55,632
ABOUT TAMPA HOPE IN JUST A 

1515
00:53:55,632 --> 00:53:58,368
MOMENT. THERE IS ALSO GENESIS 

1516
00:53:58,368 --> 00:53:59,636

00:54:12,549 --> 00:54:18,021
SITE. SO, JUST TO DO KIND OF A 

1524
00:54:18,021 --> 00:54:19,689
RECAP OF WHAT WE HEARD FROM

00:54:19,689 --> 00:54:21,858

1526
00:54:21,858 --> 00:54:25,262

THIS PROGRAM OVER A NUMBER OF 

1531
00:54:32,969 --> 00:54:34,537
YEARS. IT IS OPERATED BY 

1532
00:54:34,537 --> 00:54:35,138
CATHOLIC CHARITIES. CURRENTLY 

1533
00:54:35,138 --> 00:54:36,239
SERVING 345 PEOPLE. AND THEY 

1534
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:40,677

SERVE 400 PEOPLE WITH 400 BEDS, 

1536
00:54:42,512 --> 00:54:45,815
WHICH IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. THE 

1537
00:54:45,815 --> 00:54:46,716
SERVICES ARE PRETTY SIMILAR TO 

1538
00:54:46,716 --> 00:54:48,218
WHAT WE WOULD FIND THAT SOME OF 

1539
00:54:48,218 --> 00:54:52,789
OUR MICRO MODULAR SHELTERS, THEY

1540
00:54:52,789 --> 00:54:53,757
PROVIDE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 

1541
00:54:53,757 --> 00:54:54,324
CLASSES, SUBSTANCE USE AND 

1542
00:54:54,324 --> 00:54:56,860
MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT ON SITE,

1543
00:54:56,860 --> 00:54:58,295
CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES 

1544
00:54:58,295 --> 00:54:59,562
ON-SITE, THREE DAILY MEALS, 

1545
00:54:59,562 --> 00:55:00,864
CLOTHING, MEDICAL CARE, AND LIFE

1546
00:55:00,864 --> 00:55:02,032
SKILLS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 

1547
00:55:02,032 --> 00:55:09,673
CLASSES. [ INAUDIBLE ] A LOT OF 

1548
00:55:09,673 --> 00:55:10,507
QUESTIONS AROUND THE STAFFING 

1549
00:55:10,507 --> 00:55:11,775
MODEL, SO WE REACHED OUT AFTER 

1550
00:55:11,775 --> 00:55:12,609
THE MEETING, I KNOW SOME 

1551
00:55:12,609 --> 00:55:13,643
COUNCILMEMBERS HAD ADDITIONAL 

1552
00:55:13,643 --> 00:55:14,978
QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW IS THIS 

1553
00:55:14,978 --> 00:55:16,146
STAFFED? WE KIND OF WANTED TO 

1554
00:55:16,146 --> 00:55:17,414
GET THOSE DETAILS, AND WHAT WE 

1555
00:55:17,414 --> 00:55:18,581
LEARN FROM TAMPA HOPE IS THEY 

1556
00:55:18,581 --> 00:55:19,616
HAVE ABOUT EIGHT CASE MANAGERS 

1557
00:55:19,616 --> 00:55:21,084
ON SITE. TWO AVERAGE STOP, AND 

1558
00:55:21,084 --> 00:55:22,385
THEN 13 MONITORS THAT PROVIDE 

1559
00:55:22,385 --> 00:55:26,489
THE 24/7 STOPPING. SINCE THEY 

1560
00:55:26,489 --> 00:55:30,026
HAVE OPENED, THEIR PARTY HOUSED 

1561
00:55:30,026 --> 00:55:32,562
350 PEOPLE, SO THE PROGRAM HAS 

1562
00:55:32,562 --> 00:55:33,830
BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT GETTING FOLKS

1563
00:55:33,830 --> 00:55:40,336
INTO HOUSING. SO, IMPORTANT TO 

1564
00:55:40,336 --> 00:55:41,571
THIS CONVERSATION IS THE PUBLIC 

1565
00:55:41,571 --> 00:55:43,807
SAFETY DISCUSSION AND MAKING 

1566
00:55:43,807 --> 00:55:44,641
SURE THESE SITES ARE OPERATED, 

1567
00:55:44,641 --> 00:55:49,245
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NOT 

1568
00:55:49,245 --> 00:55:50,480
JUST APPLIES TO THIS LARGER 250 

1569
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:51,614
PERSON SITE, BUT POTENTIALLY TO 

1570
00:55:51,614 --> 00:55:54,317
ALSO -- SORRY, POTENTIALLY ALSO 

1571
00:55:54,317 --> 00:55:56,152
ANY MICRO MODULAR PROGRAM, WE 

1572
00:55:56,152 --> 00:55:57,754
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE 

1573
00:55:57,754 --> 00:56:04,327
IS OPERATIONAL SAFETY , AND SOME

1574
00:56:04,327 --> 00:56:05,395
OF THE THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT 

1575
00:56:05,395 --> 00:56:06,463
THESE LARGER SITES CONSISTENTLY 

1576
00:56:06,463 --> 00:56:07,731
WAS THAT THEY HAVE A 24/7 

1577
00:56:07,731 --> 00:56:10,333
STAFFING MODEL, [ INAUDIBLE ], A

1578
00:56:10,333 --> 00:56:15,972
SECURE ENTRY INTO THE SITE, 

1579
00:56:15,972 --> 00:56:16,973
OTHER PROGRAMS, YOU KNOW, WE 

1580
00:56:16,973 --> 00:56:18,808
WANT TO SEE A STRONG RESIDENT 

1581
00:56:18,808 --> 00:56:23,780
CODE OF CONDUCT. WE HAVE SAMPLES

1582
00:56:23,780 --> 00:56:24,814
OF THOSE FROM EXISTING PROVIDERS

1583
00:56:24,814 --> 00:56:26,082
THAT WERE HAPPY TO SHARE WITH 

1584
00:56:26,082 --> 00:56:27,450
THE COUNCIL TO AND GIVE YOU A

00:56:27,450 --> 00:56:28,718
PICTURE OF THE DETAILS OF THAT, 

1586
00:56:28,718 --> 00:56:29,686

00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,188
HAS BEEN GREAT ON LEADING ON 

1623
00:57:38,188 --> 00:57:39,856
THIS ISSUE, SO WE CAN ALWAYS 

1624
00:57:39,856 --> 00:57:41,991
STRENGTHEN AND IMPROVE THESE, 

1625
00:57:41,991 --> 00:57:42,992
BUT IN EVERY SINGLE CONTRACT FOR

1626
00:57:42,992 --> 00:57:44,160
THE PROVIDERS THAT ARE PROVIDING

1627
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:45,261
THESE SERVICES, THERE IS A 

1628
00:57:45,261 --> 00:57:46,262
REQUIREMENT TO HAVE A GOOD 

1629
00:57:46,262 --> 00:57:47,564
NEIGHBOR AGREEMENT. THERE IS 

1630
00:57:47,564 --> 00:57:52,035
ALSO GOING TO BE SAFETY 

1631
00:57:52,035 --> 00:57:53,336
CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF 

1632
00:57:53,336 --> 00:57:55,805
THESE PROGRAMS. THIS IS IN 

1633
00:57:55,805 --> 00:57:56,840
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SEATTLE 

1634
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:57,941
POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHICH DOES A 

1635
00:57:57,941 --> 00:58:01,444
REVIEW OF SITES, AND THIS IS A 

1636
00:58:01,444 --> 00:58:07,283
WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT LINES OF 

1637
00:58:07,283 --> 00:58:07,984
SIGHT, LIGHTING, ACCESS POINTS, 

1638
00:58:07,984 --> 00:58:10,653
THAT THERE IS KIND OF A PUBLIC 

1639
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:12,388
SAFETY LENS ON HOW THESE ARE 

1640
00:58:12,388 --> 00:58:14,224
BUILT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE 

1641
00:58:14,224 --> 00:58:18,261
SAFE. AND THEN LASTLY , BUT NOT 

1642
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:19,095
LEAST, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT 

1643
00:58:19,095 --> 00:58:20,263
ALWAYS REVIEWS EVERY SINGLE SITE

1644
00:58:20,263 --> 00:58:24,234
PLAN BEFORE THE USER STOOD UP 

1645
00:58:24,234 --> 00:58:25,435
AND DOES A FINAL WALK-THROUGH 

1646
00:58:25,435 --> 00:58:26,402
BEFORE THE SITE OPENS TO MAKE 

1647
00:58:26,402 --> 00:58:27,737
SURE THEY MEET HIGHER CODE. HOW 

1648
00:58:27,737 --> 00:58:28,805
AM I DOING ON TIME? 

1649
00:58:28,805 --> 00:58:32,342
>> JUST TRYING TO FIX THE 

1650
00:58:32,342 --> 00:58:33,510
PRESENTATION, IT WASN'T SHOWING

1651
00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:34,777
UP ONLINE. 

1652
00:58:34,777 --> 00:58:36,346
>> WONDERED WHAT WAS GOING ON, 

1653
00:58:36,346 --> 00:58:40,950
SORRY ABOUT THAT. 

1654
00:58:40,950 --> 00:58:43,319
>> I AM GOING TO TURN TO MY 

1655
00:58:43,319 --> 00:58:45,955
COLLEAGUE, ALLISON HOLCOMBE, TO 

1656
00:58:45,955 --> 00:58:47,290
TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE WORK 

1657
00:58:47,290 --> 00:58:47,991
AROUND A PUBLIC SAFETY 

1658
00:58:47,991 --> 00:58:48,791
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SEATTLE

POLICE DEPARTMENT. ALISON, TAKE 

1660
00:58:50,193 --> 00:58:50,460
IT AWAY. 

1661
00:58:50,460 --> 00:58:53,763
>> THANKS, JON, AND JUST A 

1662
00:58:53,763 --> 00:58:55,932
COUPLE OF QUICK NOTES TO ADD TO 

1663
00:58:55,932 --> 00:58:57,934
JON'S EXPLANATION. COMMUNITY 

1664
00:58:57,934 --> 00:58:59,636
PARTNERSHIPS ARE CRITICAL TO 

1665
00:58:59,636 --> 00:59:00,737
SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHES OF THESE 

1666
00:59:00,737 --> 00:59:01,671
SITES. IN ADDITION TO 

1667
00:59:01,671 --> 00:59:10,280
PARTNERSHIPS IN BETWEEN , THE 

1668
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:11,681
OPERATORS OF THE SHELTERS AND 

1669
00:59:11,681 --> 00:59:12,282
THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH THE 

1670
00:59:12,282 --> 00:59:13,716
SHELTER'S SAKE, THERE IS STRONG

1671
00:59:13,716 --> 00:59:16,386
COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION 

1672
00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:17,220
ACROSS CITY DEPARTMENTS, AND 

1673
00:59:17,220 --> 00:59:18,388
BETWEEN CITY DEPARTMENTS WITH 

1674
00:59:18,388 --> 00:59:18,988
THOSE COMMUNITIES, AND THE 

1675
00:59:18,988 --> 00:59:20,924
REASON FOR THIS IS THAT WE KNOW 

1676
00:59:20,924 --> 00:59:22,525
THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE SERVED 

1677
00:59:22,525 --> 00:59:27,897
BY THESE SHELTERS TEND TO BE 

1678
00:59:27,897 --> 00:59:28,631
MORE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. WE 

1679
00:59:28,631 --> 00:59:29,632
ARE DEALING WITH A POPULATION 

1680
00:59:29,632 --> 00:59:30,900
THAT HAS A HIGHER PREVALENCE OF 

1681
00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:32,001
MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS AND/OR 

1682
00:59:32,001 --> 00:59:34,470
CO-OCCURRING SUBSTANCE USE 

1683
00:59:34,470 --> 00:59:36,239
DISORDERS, AND THAT IN TURN 

1684
00:59:36,239 --> 00:59:39,309
MAKES THEM BOTH HONORABLE TO 

1685
00:59:39,309 --> 00:59:40,510
WHAT I WILL REFERRED TO AS 

1686
00:59:40,510 --> 00:59:41,511
PREDATORY OFFENSES, WHERE YOU 

1687
00:59:41,511 --> 00:59:44,314
HAVE MID-LEVEL DRUG DEALERS, 

1688
00:59:44,314 --> 00:59:45,682
DRUG TRAFFICKERS FOR EXAMPLE, 

1689
00:59:45,682 --> 00:59:49,052
LOOK INTO THIS BASE POPULATION 

1690
00:59:49,052 --> 00:59:52,522
AS CUSTOMERS FOR MOST OF THEIR 

1691
00:59:52,522 --> 00:59:55,291
DRUG TRAFFICKING, AS WELL AS A 

1692
00:59:55,291 --> 00:59:57,594
POTENTIAL WAIVER BASE FOR 

1693
00:59:57,594 --> 00:59:58,861

POLICE DEPARTMENT ALREADY ENJOYS

1698
01:00:09,739 --> 01:00:10,239
A STRONG COLLABORATIVE 

1699
01:00:10,239 --> 01:00:11,341

POPULATION AND ACTUALLY 

1710
01:00:33,329 --> 01:00:34,330
ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS WITH

THE INDIVIDUALS IN THOSE 

1712
01:00:37,166 --> 01:00:37,800
ENCAMPMENTS. WHAT THIS ALLOWS 

1713
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,202
THEM TO DO IS TO GAIN 

1714
01:00:39,202 --> 01:00:41,704
INFORMATION ABOUT THESE 

1715
01:00:41,704 --> 01:00:42,872
INCREASED RISKS OF CRIMINAL 

1716
01:00:42,872 --> 01:00:45,074
ACTIVITY THAT MAY FOLLOW 

1717
01:00:45,074 --> 01:00:49,679
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN

1718
01:00:49,679 --> 01:00:51,814
THESE HONORABLE SITUATIONS AND 

1719
01:00:51,814 --> 01:00:52,348
ENCAMPMENTS, AND THROUGH 

1720
01:00:52,348 --> 01:00:54,684
TARGETED ENFORCEMENT, BE ABLE TO

1721
01:00:54,684 --> 01:00:58,321
REMOVE THOSE ACTORS THAT ARE 

1722
01:00:58,321 --> 01:00:59,322
UNDERMINING THE SUCCESS OF THE 

1723
01:00:59,322 --> 01:01:01,591
SHELTERS AND THE INDIVIDUALS WHO

1724
01:01:01,591 --> 01:01:02,525
ARE ACCESSING THE SHELTERS TO 

1725
01:01:02,525 --> 01:01:04,060
EXIT HOMELESSNESS. 

1726
01:01:04,060 --> 01:01:08,331
>> THANK YOU. SO, WITH THAT, YOU

1727
01:01:08,331 --> 01:01:09,599
KNOW, WE BROUGHT REPRESENTATIVES

1728
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:18,174
FROM HST AND SDCI TO ANSWER 

1729
01:01:18,174 --> 01:01:19,142
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE. WE

1732
01:01:21,778 --> 01:01:24,647
AMBITION OF THIS LEGISLATION IS 

1733
01:01:24,647 --> 01:01:26,649
SO WE CAN USE OUR PUBLIC ASSETS 

1734
01:01:26,649 --> 01:01:27,784
AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE. IN 

1735
01:01:27,784 --> 01:01:28,818
OUR ASSESSMENT, THERE ARE 

1736
01:01:28,818 --> 01:01:31,421
OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW EXISTING 

1737
01:01:31,421 --> 01:01:32,955
PROGRAMS, AND I THINK WE CAN DO 

1738
01:01:32,955 --> 01:01:36,526
SO IN A RESPONSIBLE AND 

1739
01:01:36,526 --> 01:01:37,393

THE DISCUSSION, LAST TIME WE 

1749
01:02:08,324 --> 01:02:09,425
DISCUSSED THIS IN COMMITTEE, I 

1750
01:02:09,425 --> 01:02:10,860
KNOW I RAISED SOME QUESTIONS 

1751
01:02:10,860 --> 01:02:12,628
RELATED TO STAFFING. I WANT TO 

1752
01:02:12,628 --> 01:02:13,930

1756
01:02:17,333 --> 01:02:18,534

PROFILE, WHICH I THINK IS 

1760
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:23,806
HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND HOW LARGE 

1761
01:02:23,806 --> 01:02:25,241
SITES OPERATE AND I KNOW IN THIS

1762
01:02:25,241 --> 01:02:30,046
EXAMPLE, WE HAVE 345 PEOPLE 

1763
01:02:30,046 --> 01:02:31,147
SERVED WITH A CASE MANAGERS, AND

1764
01:02:31,147 --> 01:02:32,682
I THINK WE HAVE HEARD LOUD AND 

1765
01:02:32,682 --> 01:02:33,983
CLEAR, AND I KNOW IT THE INTENT 

1766
01:02:33,983 --> 01:02:35,017
OF THE ADMINISTRATION TO ENSURE 

1767
01:02:35,017 --> 01:02:36,552
THAT THE SITES WE ARE BRINGING 

1768
01:02:36,552 --> 01:02:39,889
ONLINE HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF 

1769
01:02:39,889 --> 01:02:40,923
SUPPORTIVE STAFFING, SO I AM

01:02:45,528 --> 01:02:47,396
RATIOS YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT, 

1774
01:02:47,396 --> 01:02:48,965
IS THE ADMINISTRATION THINKING 

1775
01:02:48,965 --> 01:02:51,033
ABOUT ONE TO 15 IN TERMS OF CASE

1776
01:02:51,033 --> 01:02:54,804

1780
01:03:00,910 --> 01:03:02,678
>> YEAH, I AM HAPPY TO DO THAT, 

1781
01:03:02,678 --> 01:03:04,013
IT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT 

1782
01:03:04,013 --> 01:03:05,448
QUESTION. SO, THE WAY THAT WE 

1783
01:03:05,448 --> 01:03:06,182
ARE ENVISIONING THIS IS THAT 

1784
01:03:06,182 --> 01:03:07,950
THERE ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT 

1785
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:09,018
SERVICE MODELS FOR DIFFERENT 

1786
01:03:09,018 --> 01:03:13,489
ACUITY POPULATIONS. THERE ARE 

1787
01:03:13,489 --> 01:03:14,323

MEDICAL ISSUES AND MENTAL HEALTH

1792
01:03:25,568 --> 01:03:27,203
ISSUES. THESE ARE FOLKS THAT MAY

1793
01:03:27,203 --> 01:03:28,771
BE INVOLVED IN THE CRIMINAL 

1794
01:03:28,771 --> 01:03:31,707
JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND REQUIRE THAT

1795
01:03:31,707 --> 01:03:34,110
ONE TO 15, ONE TO 20 RATIO. AND 

1796
01:03:34,110 --> 01:03:36,579
THEN THERE ARE OTHER SHELTER 

1797
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:38,581
PROGRAMS WHERE THERE ARE FOLKS 

1798
01:03:38,581 --> 01:03:42,818
THAT, FRANKLY, YOU KNOW, WE LIVE

1799
01:03:42,818 --> 01:03:44,787
IN AN EXPENSIVE CITY, IT IS HARD

1800
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,691
TO FIND HOUSING, AND SOME FOLKS,

1801
01:03:48,691 --> 01:03:49,826
IT JUST TAKES ONE CRITICAL 

1802
01:03:49,826 --> 01:03:50,927
INCIDENT AND THEY CAN LOSE THEIR

1803
01:03:50,927 --> 01:03:56,132
HOUSING. AND WHERE CAN THOSE GO 

1804
01:03:56,132 --> 01:03:57,166
WHILE THEY GET BACK UP ON THEIR 

1805
01:03:57,166 --> 01:03:59,001
FEET AND GET BACK INTO HOUSING? 

1806
01:03:59,001 --> 01:04:00,236
SO, FOR THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE NOT

1807
01:04:00,236 --> 01:04:01,771
QUITE AT THAT HIGH ACUITY LEVEL,

1808
01:04:01,771 --> 01:04:03,072
I THINK THERE IS GOING TO BE 

1809
01:04:03,072 --> 01:04:06,809
TIMES WHERE THERE IS GOING TO BE

1810
01:04:06,809 --> 01:04:07,944
A TRANSFER, SO LET'S SAY IF 

1811
01:04:07,944 --> 01:04:09,445
THERE IS A PERSON THAT MAY BE 

1812
01:04:09,445 --> 01:04:13,783
HAVING -- THEY'RE LIVING IN A 

1813
01:04:13,783 --> 01:04:14,650
HIGH ACUITY PROGRAM, BUT STILL 

1814
01:04:14,650 --> 01:04:16,118
HAS CASE MANAGEMENT ON SITE, AND

1815
01:04:16,118 --> 01:04:17,587
THAT PERSON, MAYBE [ INAUDIBLE 

1816
01:04:17,587 --> 01:04:22,124
], THEY GO OFF THEIR MEDICATION 

1817
01:04:22,124 --> 01:04:23,326
AND THEY NEED ASSISTANCE ON THAT

1818
01:04:23,326 --> 01:04:24,694
MEDICATION, AND IT TURNS OUT 

1819
01:04:24,694 --> 01:04:31,300
THEY NEED HIGHER [ INAUDIBLE ]. 

1820
01:04:31,300 --> 01:04:32,535
IN SOME CASES, THE WAY THE 

1821
01:04:32,535 --> 01:04:33,302
CURRENT PROGRAM WORKS, THAT 

1822
01:04:33,302 --> 01:04:34,570
PERSON MIGHT BE EXITED FROM THE 

1823
01:04:34,570 --> 01:04:35,705
SHELTER. THE SYSTEM WE ARE 

1824
01:04:35,705 --> 01:04:37,240
TRYING TO DESIGN IS THAT THESE 

1825
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,809
SHELTERS OPERATE AS A PORTFOLIO,

1826
01:04:39,809 --> 01:04:41,077
SO THAT IF SOMEBODY IS KIND OF 

1827
01:04:41,077 --> 01:04:42,411
FACING THE HIGHER ACUITY ISSUE, 

1828
01:04:42,411 --> 01:04:46,182
THEY ARE IN A MISMATCH FOR THE 

1829
01:04:46,182 --> 01:04:47,383
SERVICE NEED BECAUSE THERE WAS A

1830
01:04:47,383 --> 01:04:48,818
CHANGE IN THE SITUATION, WE CAN 

1831
01:04:48,818 --> 01:04:50,553
MAKE A TRANSFER TO A LARGER -- 

1832
01:04:50,553 --> 01:04:52,221
NOT TO A LARGER, BUT A HIGHER [ 

1833
01:04:52,221 --> 01:04:54,824
INAUDIBLE ] . SO, THAT IS THE 

1834
01:04:54,824 --> 01:04:55,891
AMBITION AND THE VISION THAT 

1835
01:04:55,891 --> 01:04:59,462
THESE PROGRAMS CAN BE WORKING IN

1836
01:04:59,462 --> 01:05:01,063
CONCORDANCE WITH EACH OTHER, BUT

1837
01:05:01,063 --> 01:05:02,598
AT THE SAME TIME, [ INAUDIBLE ] 

1838
01:05:02,598 --> 01:05:03,766
NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE 

1839
01:05:03,766 --> 01:05:05,001
SERVING THE HIGHEST ACUITY 

1840
01:05:05,001 --> 01:05:09,038
LEVEL, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT 

1841
01:05:09,038 --> 01:05:10,139
EXACTLY WHAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON

1842
01:05:10,139 --> 01:05:10,373
NEEDS. 

1843
01:05:10,373 --> 01:05:12,842
>> AND I WILL JUST ADD, WE 

1844
01:05:12,842 --> 01:05:13,743
APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENT TO THE 

1845
01:05:13,743 --> 01:05:14,844
LEGISLATION PASSED YESTERDAY, 

1846
01:05:14,844 --> 01:05:17,413
HIGH ACUITY WORK THAT WE 

1847
01:05:17,413 --> 01:05:18,648
ESTABLISHED AND WE ANTICIPATE A 

1848
01:05:18,648 --> 01:05:20,316
LOT OF THIS WORK WILL BE 

1849
01:05:20,316 --> 01:05:23,953
HAPPENING IN THAT SPACE , TO GET

1850
01:05:23,953 --> 01:05:25,054
REALLY CLEAR ON THOSE STAFFING 

1851
01:05:25,054 --> 01:05:27,390
MODELS, [ INAUDIBLE ]. WE LOOK 

1852
01:05:27,390 --> 01:05:28,457
FORWARD TO BEING IN CONVERSATION

1853
01:05:28,457 --> 01:05:29,925
WITH YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES ON 

1854
01:05:29,925 --> 01:05:33,562
THAT. 

1855
01:05:33,562 --> 01:05:35,197
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT, I KNOW WE

1856
01:05:35,197 --> 01:05:37,300
HAVE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS. 

1857
01:05:37,300 --> 01:05:38,901
WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF 

1858
01:05:38,901 --> 01:05:43,773
COMPLEXITY WHEN IT COMES TO [ 

1859
01:05:43,773 --> 01:05:44,473
INAUDIBLE ] WHO EXPERIENCE 

1860
01:05:44,473 --> 01:05:45,241
HOMELESSNESS AND HAVING A 

1861
01:05:45,241 --> 01:05:46,442
FOCUSED APPROACH ON HOW TO [ 

1862
01:05:46,442 --> 01:05:47,643
INAUDIBLE ] THOSE WITH HIGH 

1863
01:05:47,643 --> 01:05:49,312
ACUITY NEEDS, SO THANK YOU FOR [

1864
01:05:49,312 --> 01:05:50,680
INAUDIBLE ] HIGHER ACUITY 

1865
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:51,647
POPULATION WILL BE FOCUSED ON 

1866
01:05:51,647 --> 01:05:55,217
REALLY DEFINING THAT CASE 

1867
01:05:55,217 --> 01:05:55,885
MANAGEMENT RATIO, WHICH SOUNDS 

1868
01:05:55,885 --> 01:05:57,520
LIKE IT WAS REALLY IN THAT RANGE

1869
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:01,324
OF ONE TO 15 PROGRAM 

1870
01:06:01,324 --> 01:06:02,191
PARTICIPANTS, IT WOULD BE JUST 

1871
01:06:02,191 --> 01:06:04,060
GREAT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL ON

1872
01:06:04,060 --> 01:06:05,461
THE SAME PAGE IN TERMS OF WHAT 

1873
01:06:05,461 --> 01:06:06,662
ARE THEY EXPECTING IN CASE 

1874
01:06:06,662 --> 01:06:08,497
MANAGEMENT RATIOS, SO WE CAN 

1875
01:06:08,497 --> 01:06:10,066
ENSURE WE ARE DELIVERING ON 

1876
01:06:10,066 --> 01:06:11,934
SUCCESS AND MAKING SURE THE 

1877
01:06:11,934 --> 01:06:13,469
SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH REALLY RELIES 

1878
01:06:13,469 --> 01:06:20,509
ON HAVING THAT STAFFING SUPPORT 

1879
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:21,377
FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED. I THINK 

1880
01:06:21,377 --> 01:06:22,345
MY FOLLOW-UP QUESTION TO THIS 

1881
01:06:22,345 --> 01:06:23,713
POINT, IF YOU ALL CAN SPEAK TO 

1882
01:06:23,713 --> 01:06:24,814
THE CURRENT THINKING AROUND 

1883
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:28,718
HIRING. I KNOW AS A FOLLOW-UP, 

1884
01:06:28,718 --> 01:06:29,752
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR PROVIDING 

1885
01:06:29,752 --> 01:06:30,853
SOME INFORMATION ON THE HIGH 

1886
01:06:30,853 --> 01:06:36,726
LEVEL ACROSS ALL OF THE SITES, 

1887
01:06:36,726 --> 01:06:37,727
HOW MUCH STAFFING SUPPORT WILL 

1888
01:06:37,727 --> 01:06:39,028
BE NEEDED, BUT WHAT IS THE 

1889
01:06:39,028 --> 01:06:40,229
CURRENT THINKING ON HOW WE CAN 

1890
01:06:40,229 --> 01:06:41,397
ENSURE THAT WE CAN BRING ONLINE 

1891
01:06:41,397 --> 01:06:42,398
AND SUPPORT THE WORKFORCE TO 

1892
01:06:42,398 --> 01:06:42,998
SUPPORT THIS EXPANSION? 

1893
01:06:42,998 --> 01:06:44,266
>> I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY TURN 

1894
01:06:44,266 --> 01:06:49,572
TO [ INAUDIBLE ] TO TALK ABOUT 

1895
01:06:49,572 --> 01:06:50,639
CONVERSATIONS WITH PROVIDERS. I 

1896
01:06:50,639 --> 01:06:51,907
WILL SAY THAT WE HAVE HELD SOME 

1897
01:06:51,907 --> 01:06:52,675
ADDITIONAL MEETINGS WITH THE 

1898
01:06:52,675 --> 01:06:53,676
PROVIDERS TO ASSESS LIKE WHAT 

1899
01:06:53,676 --> 01:06:55,678
THEY WOULD NEED IN ORDER TO GROW

1900
01:06:55,678 --> 01:06:56,746
THEIR WORKFORCE AND EXPAND, AND 

1901
01:06:56,746 --> 01:06:58,047
THAT IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE 

1902
01:06:58,047 --> 01:07:00,983
REASON WHY THIS LEGISLATION IS 

1903
01:07:00,983 --> 01:07:05,154
HELPFUL, BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF 

1904
01:07:05,154 --> 01:07:06,122
STAFFING THAT IS REQUIRED TO 

1905
01:07:06,122 --> 01:07:07,456
EXPAND AN EXISTING SITE IS 

1906
01:07:07,456 --> 01:07:11,594
ACTUALLY LESS, THEN HAVING A 

1907
01:07:11,594 --> 01:07:12,561
BRAND-NEW LOCATION, BECAUSE A 

1908
01:07:12,561 --> 01:07:13,896
LOT OF THESE LOCATIONS WILL 

1909
01:07:13,896 --> 01:07:16,098
ALREADY HAVE 24/7 STAFFING AND 

1910
01:07:16,098 --> 01:07:17,099
CASE MANAGEMENT IN PLACE, SO 

1911
01:07:17,099 --> 01:07:18,567
THERE ARE KIND OF ORDERS OF 

1912
01:07:18,567 --> 01:07:21,170
MAGNITUDE THAT YOU CAN KIND OF 

1913
01:07:21,170 --> 01:07:22,638
ADDRESS, BUT I THINK IN TERMS OF

1914
01:07:22,638 --> 01:07:23,639
CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVE BEEN 

1915
01:07:23,639 --> 01:07:25,007
HAVING WITH PROVIDERS, TURN TO 

1916
01:07:25,007 --> 01:07:26,776
HS D AND TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE

1917
01:07:26,776 --> 01:07:31,680
HEARING IN TERMS OF THEM BEING 

1918
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,182
ABLE TO STEP INTO THESE INITIAL 

1919
01:07:33,182 --> 01:07:35,885
SITES. 

1920
01:07:35,885 --> 01:07:37,553
>> YEAH, I WILL SAY THAT WE ARE 

1921
01:07:37,553 --> 01:07:38,154
HAVING INITIAL CONVERSATIONS 

1922
01:07:38,154 --> 01:07:39,422
RIGHT NOW. OBVIOUS WAY, THE WEST

1923
01:07:39,422 --> 01:07:41,957
SITE WAS JUST ANNOUNCED, WE ARE 

1924
01:07:41,957 --> 01:07:44,894
EXCITED ABOUT THAT, SO VERY 

1925
01:07:44,894 --> 01:07:45,961
EARLY ON THE PLANNING STAGES 

1926
01:07:45,961 --> 01:07:47,730
THERE. I THINK THE GOAL OF THIS 

1927
01:07:47,730 --> 01:07:49,165
INITIAL SET OF SHELTERS IS TO 

1928
01:07:49,165 --> 01:07:53,002
WORK WITH PROVIDERS WHO FEEL 

1929
01:07:53,002 --> 01:07:54,070
THEY HAVE A CAPACITY RIGHT NOW 

1930
01:07:54,070 --> 01:07:55,871
TO STEP INTO IT IMMEDIATELY. 

1931
01:07:55,871 --> 01:07:56,872
THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS NOW 

1932
01:07:56,872 --> 01:08:01,343
CAN YOU TAKE THIS ON IN FOUR OR 

1933
01:08:01,343 --> 01:08:02,311
LESS MONTHS AND REALLY SUPPORT 

1934
01:08:02,311 --> 01:08:06,348
THAT WORK, AND I THINK, AGAIN, 

1935
01:08:06,348 --> 01:08:07,783
TO LEAN ON THE HIGH ACUITY WORK 

1936
01:08:07,783 --> 01:08:09,018
GROUP AND THE EFFORT THAT WILL 

1937
01:08:09,018 --> 01:08:10,586
COME FROM THAT, KIND OF 

1938
01:08:10,586 --> 01:08:13,789
CONFIRMING THAT AS WELL 

1939
01:08:13,789 --> 01:08:15,491
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. I JUST 

1940
01:08:15,491 --> 01:08:16,425
WANT TO CONNECT THE DOTS AGAIN 

1941
01:08:16,425 --> 01:08:17,226
BETWEEN SOME OF THE 

1942
01:08:17,226 --> 01:08:18,260
CONVERSATIONS I HAD IN THE 

1943
01:08:18,260 --> 01:08:19,595
COMMITTEE THAT I CHAIR, OUR 

1944
01:08:19,595 --> 01:08:23,666
HUMAN SERVICES LABOR ECONOMIC 

1945
01:08:23,666 --> 01:08:24,333
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, RECENTLY 

1946
01:08:24,333 --> 01:08:25,234
HAVING THAT DISCUSSION ON WAGE 

1947
01:08:25,234 --> 01:08:26,235
EQUITY AND THE CHALLENGES AND 

1948
01:08:26,235 --> 01:08:28,871
BEING ABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN 

1949
01:08:28,871 --> 01:08:30,439
THE WORKFORCE THAT WE ALL AGREE 

1950
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:31,740
THAT WE NEED, SO HOPING WE CAN 

1951
01:08:31,740 --> 01:08:32,741
CONNECT THE DOTS ON THOSE TO 

1952
01:08:32,741 --> 01:08:33,843
RUSSIANS, SO WE CAN REALLY 

1953
01:08:33,843 --> 01:08:35,478
DELIVER ON THE STAFFING SUPPORT 

1954
01:08:35,478 --> 01:08:36,679
THAT OUR NEIGHBORS FRANKLY 

1955
01:08:36,679 --> 01:08:43,052
DESERVE , AND THEIR [ INAUDIBLE 

1956
01:08:43,052 --> 01:08:44,153

GREAT PANEL OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE,

1967
01:08:59,535 --> 01:09:00,836
SO WE CAN JUST GET DIFFERENT 

1968
01:09:00,836 --> 01:09:02,238
INFORMATION. THE FIRST THING I 

1969
01:09:02,238 --> 01:09:06,642
WANTED TO ASK , FOR THE FIRST 

1970
01:09:06,642 --> 01:09:08,377

01:09:24,927 --> 01:09:26,629
IS A FOCUS ON FOLKS WHO ARE HIGH

1978
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:27,997
ACUITY, AND I THINK EVEN WITHIN 

1979
01:09:27,997 --> 01:09:28,664
THAT TERM, THERE IS NUANCE. 

1980
01:09:28,664 --> 01:09:30,065
THERE ARE SOME FOLKS THAT ARE 

1981
01:09:30,065 --> 01:09:31,200
GOING TO REQUIRE PRETTY, YOU 

1982
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,702
KNOW, SIGNIFICANT SUBSTANCE USE 

1983
01:09:33,702 --> 01:09:36,038
DISORDER COUNSELING, AND THEY 

1984
01:09:36,038 --> 01:09:37,339
HAVE A CO-OCCURRING MENTAL 

1985
01:09:37,339 --> 01:09:42,311
HEALTH ISSUE. WE NEED TO MAKE 

1986
01:09:42,311 --> 01:09:43,312
SURE, LIKE NOT EVERY BEHAVIORAL 

1987
01:09:43,312 --> 01:09:44,847
HEALTH PROVIDER DOES ALL OF 

1988
01:09:44,847 --> 01:09:46,181
THOSE THINGS. SOME MAY DO ONE, 

1989
01:09:46,181 --> 01:09:47,550
SOME ME TO THE OTHER, SOME DO 

1990
01:09:47,550 --> 01:09:48,884
BOTH, SO FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW 

1991
01:09:48,884 --> 01:09:52,421
THAT THERAPEUTIC HEALTH SERVICES

1992
01:09:52,421 --> 01:09:54,423
ACTUALLY PROVIDES BOTH OF THOSE 

1993
01:09:54,423 --> 01:09:57,226
SERVICES, AND WHAT THEY WILL DO 

1994
01:09:57,226 --> 01:09:59,428
IS ACTUALLY HIRE STAFF THAT ARE 

1995
01:09:59,428 --> 01:10:00,896
LICENSED BOTH AS A MENTAL HEALTH

1996
01:10:00,896 --> 01:10:02,164
COUNSELOR, AS WELL AS A 

1997
01:10:02,164 --> 01:10:05,267
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER 

1998
01:10:05,267 --> 01:10:07,203
COUNSELOR, SO THERE KIND OF CODE

1999
01:10:07,203 --> 01:10:09,438
LICENSED IN THAT WAY. THEY'RE 

2000
01:10:09,438 --> 01:10:10,639
GOING TO BE SOME PROGRAMS THAT 

2001
01:10:10,639 --> 01:10:11,674
WILL REQUIRE THAT DEEPER LEVEL 

2002
01:10:11,674 --> 01:10:12,708
OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT AND

2003
01:10:12,708 --> 01:10:14,076
THEN THERE ARE SOME FOLKS THAT, 

2004
01:10:14,076 --> 01:10:16,011
YOU KNOW, MAY NEED NOT QUITE AS 

2005
01:10:16,011 --> 01:10:20,716
MUCH AS THAT LEVEL OF 

2006
01:10:20,716 --> 01:10:21,584
ASSISTANCE, BUT MAYBE THEY WOULD

2007
01:10:21,584 --> 01:10:22,551
STILL BENEFIT FROM SOMETHING 

2008
01:10:22,551 --> 01:10:25,087
LIKE , YOU KNOW, A SUBSTANCE USE

2009
01:10:25,087 --> 01:10:26,956
DISORDER TREATMENT PROGRAM, AND 

2010
01:10:26,956 --> 01:10:28,424
THOSE ARE FOLKS THAT MAY BE, YOU

2011
01:10:28,424 --> 01:10:36,198
KNOW, IN A MANNER OF TIME CAN 

2012
01:10:36,198 --> 01:10:37,233
STABILIZE AND GET ACCESS TO 

2013
01:10:37,233 --> 01:10:38,000
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND

2014
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:39,234
MOVE THEM AS THOSE UNITS BECOME 

2015
01:10:39,234 --> 01:10:40,436
AVAILABLE. SO, I THINK THE FIRST

2016
01:10:40,436 --> 01:10:41,870
500 IS THAT RANGE OF LIKE 

2017
01:10:41,870 --> 01:10:43,072
CHRONICALLY HOMELESS FOLKS, AND 

2018
01:10:43,072 --> 01:10:46,842
WITHIN THAT RANGE, FOLKS CAN BE 

2019
01:10:46,842 --> 01:10:47,643
CHRONICALLY HOMELESS FOR LOTS OF

2020
01:10:47,643 --> 01:10:49,011
DIFFERENT REASONS, RIGHT? IT 

2021
01:10:49,011 --> 01:10:52,281
COULD BE A DISABLING CONDITION, 

2022
01:10:52,281 --> 01:10:53,115
MAYBE SOMEONE HAS A PHYSICAL 

2023
01:10:53,115 --> 01:10:54,016
DISABILITY THAT PREVENTS HIM 

2024
01:10:54,016 --> 01:10:55,384
FROM HAVING, YOU KNOW, SUSTAINED

2025
01:10:55,384 --> 01:11:00,089
EMPLOYMENT, AND THEY ARE ON 

2026
01:11:00,089 --> 01:11:01,590
SDCI, AND AS WE KNOW, THAT IS 

2027
01:11:01,590 --> 01:11:02,791
NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH [ INAUDIBLE 

2028
01:11:02,791 --> 01:11:05,661
]. IF THEY GET INTO A SHIFTER 

2029
01:11:05,661 --> 01:11:06,962
PROGRAM, BUT THEY DON'T 

2030
01:11:06,962 --> 01:11:09,331
NECESSARILY NEED LIKE ONGOING , 

2031
01:11:09,331 --> 01:11:10,132
YOU KNOW, TREATMENT SERVICES, 

2032
01:11:10,132 --> 01:11:11,367
WHAT THEY NEED IS PROBABLY 

2033
01:11:11,367 --> 01:11:12,701
SOMEBODY TO HELP THEM GET THEIR 

2034
01:11:12,701 --> 01:11:16,639
I.D. AND GET CONNECTED TO A 

2035
01:11:16,639 --> 01:11:18,207
RENTAL SUBSIDY PROGRAM TO MOVE 

2036
01:11:18,207 --> 01:11:20,442
THEM INTO HOUSING SO, WITHIN 

2037
01:11:20,442 --> 01:11:21,176
THAT RANGE OF CHRONICALLY 

2038
01:11:21,176 --> 01:11:22,478
HOMELESS FOLKS, THERE IS GOING 

2039
01:11:22,478 --> 01:11:26,548
TO BE A DIFFERENT SUBSET OF WHAT

2040
01:11:26,548 --> 01:11:28,017
THOSE NEEDS ARE, BUT I WOULD SAY

2041
01:11:28,017 --> 01:11:29,451
FOR THE FIRST 500, IF WE ARE 

2042
01:11:29,451 --> 01:11:31,954
LOOKING TO SORT OF CHRONICALLY 

2043
01:11:31,954 --> 01:11:32,755
HOMELESS FOLKS AND FOR THE NEXT 

2044
01:11:32,755 --> 01:11:34,323
500, I THINK WE ARE LOOKING AT A

2045
01:11:34,323 --> 01:11:35,157
BROADER SEGMENT OF THE 

2046
01:11:35,157 --> 01:11:36,492
POPULATION THAN FOLKS WHO ARE 

2047
01:11:36,492 --> 01:11:42,965
CURRENTLY STUCK IN SHELTER, WHO 

2048
01:11:42,965 --> 01:11:44,133
MIGHT BE LIKE A LARGE FAMILY AND

2049
01:11:44,133 --> 01:11:45,567
IT IS HARD TO FIND A FOUR 

2050
01:11:45,567 --> 01:11:46,835
BEDROOM APARTMENT THAT THEY CAN 

2051
01:11:46,835 --> 01:11:48,003
AFFORD. SO, I THINK FOR THOSE 

2052
01:11:48,003 --> 01:11:49,071
TYPES OF SITUATIONS, WE WOULD 

2053
01:11:49,071 --> 01:11:50,172
PROBABLY PIVOT TO ANOTHER MODEL 

2054
01:11:50,172 --> 01:11:51,340
LIKE SOME SORT OF RENTAL 

2055
01:11:51,340 --> 01:11:53,008
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. 

2056
01:11:53,008 --> 01:11:53,909
>> UNDERSTOOD, THAT IS SUPER 

2057
01:11:53,909 --> 01:11:55,744
HELPFUL. BECAUSE I KNOW I HAD AN

2058
01:11:55,744 --> 01:11:59,014
AMENDMENT FOR FAMILIES AND 

2059
01:11:59,014 --> 01:12:00,182
CHILDREN, VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT 

2060
01:12:00,182 --> 01:12:03,886
THAT , WE TRY TO OBVIOUSLY WORK 

2061
01:12:03,886 --> 01:12:05,054
WITH OUR MAYOR'S OFFICE TO GIVE

2062
01:12:05,054 --> 01:12:09,658
A LITTLE RUNWAY. FOR THE FIRST 

2063
01:12:09,658 --> 01:12:10,693
1000 SHELTERS FOR THAT, BECAUSE 

2064
01:12:10,693 --> 01:12:12,361
A LOT OF THOSE FAMILIES ARE 

2065
01:12:12,361 --> 01:12:16,165
SLEEPING IN CARS OR THEY ARE AT 

2066
01:12:16,165 --> 01:12:17,366
CAL ANDERSON PARK, THERE ARE AT 

2067
01:12:17,366 --> 01:12:18,667
DIFFERENT PLACES, THEY ARE DOING

2068
01:12:18,667 --> 01:12:21,337
COUCH SURFING. A LOT OF TIMES, 

2069
01:12:21,337 --> 01:12:22,071
WE DON'T SEE THEM, 

2070
01:12:22,071 --> 01:12:23,839
UNFORTUNATELY, AND THAT'S WHO I

2071
01:12:23,839 --> 01:12:25,307
AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT. I KNOW

2072
01:12:25,307 --> 01:12:26,475
OUR COLLEAGUES ARE AS WELL, 

2073
01:12:26,475 --> 01:12:28,243
WANTING TO GET THEM INTO SOME 

2074
01:12:28,243 --> 01:12:29,712
TYPE OF SHELTER, AND THEN ON TO 

2075
01:12:29,712 --> 01:12:30,345
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. 

2076
01:12:30,345 --> 01:12:33,482
I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW FROM HSD 

2077
01:12:33,482 --> 01:12:34,950
LESSONS LEARNED. SO, WE HEARD 

2078
01:12:34,950 --> 01:12:36,952
FROM YOU ALL OR FROM THE 

2079
01:12:36,952 --> 01:12:41,924
MAYOR'S OFFICE AND PROVIDERS 

2080
01:12:41,924 --> 01:12:43,192
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT NEEDED TO DO

2081
01:12:43,192 --> 01:12:44,126
BETTER, RIGHT? WITH CUTTING THE 

2082
01:12:44,126 --> 01:12:45,661
RED TAPE, GETTING STUFF ONLINE 

2083
01:12:45,661 --> 01:12:48,530
FASTER. WHAT HAS HSD LEARNED 

2084
01:12:48,530 --> 01:12:49,531
ABOUT PROVIDERS, WHAT IS WORKING

2085
01:12:49,531 --> 01:12:50,666
WELL AND WHAT IS NOT WORKING 

2086
01:12:50,666 --> 01:12:52,334
WELL AND WHAT IS GOING TO BE 

2087
01:12:52,334 --> 01:12:53,168
DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS 500 

2088
01:12:53,168 --> 01:12:54,303
SHELTERS THAT WE ARE PUTTING 

2089
01:12:54,303 --> 01:12:56,839
ONLINE THAT IS GOING TO BE 

2090
01:12:56,839 --> 01:13:00,943
BETTER, TO HAVE BETTER OUTCOMES?

2091
01:13:00,943 --> 01:13:02,945
>> I THINK PARTNERSHIP IS REALLY

2092
01:13:02,945 --> 01:13:03,912
CRITICAL. I THINK WITH THE 

2093
01:13:03,912 --> 01:13:04,980
MAYOR'S OFFICE HAD SHARED JUST 

2094
01:13:04,980 --> 01:13:06,348
ABOUT THE WORK TO DEVELOP HIS 

2095
01:13:06,348 --> 01:13:08,250
SHELTERS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. I 

2096
01:13:08,250 --> 01:13:09,885
WILL SAY, LOOKING BACK AT THE 

2097
01:13:09,885 --> 01:13:10,686
STAR CENTER WORKER RECENTLY, 

2098
01:13:10,686 --> 01:13:11,754
IT'S BEEN SUPER INFORMATIVE 

2099
01:13:11,754 --> 01:13:15,991
THERE. HSD WORKED REALLY CLOSELY

2100
01:13:15,991 --> 01:13:17,292
WITH OUR PARTNERS AT KING COUNTY

2101
01:13:17,292 --> 01:13:18,527
REGIONAL HOMELESS AUTHORITY AND 

2102
01:13:18,527 --> 01:13:20,996
OBVIOUSLY DES C, BUT A BROADER 

2103
01:13:20,996 --> 01:13:26,368
COALITION AS WELL. TO LOOK AT 

2104
01:13:26,368 --> 01:13:27,469
WHAT IS THAT PROGRAM ACHIEVING 

2105
01:13:27,469 --> 01:13:28,771
AND HOW ARE WE ACHIEVING THE 

2106
01:13:28,771 --> 01:13:30,305
GOALS THAT WE HAVE LAID OUT? HOW

2107
01:13:30,305 --> 01:13:32,808
ARE FOLKS [ INAUDIBLE ] INTO THE

2108
01:13:32,808 --> 01:13:34,042
SHELTERS AS WELL, WHEN DO WE 

2109
01:13:34,042 --> 01:13:37,379
HAVE TO PAY BUT, AND WE MEET ON 

2110
01:13:37,379 --> 01:13:38,714
A MONTHLY BASIS AS WELL, TO SEE 

2111
01:13:38,714 --> 01:13:39,882
HOW THINGS ARE GOING. AND I 

2112
01:13:39,882 --> 01:13:41,116
THINK ALSO OUT OF THE PROGRAM, 

2113
01:13:41,116 --> 01:13:42,551
JUST HOW ARE WE AS A PROGRAM 

2114
01:13:42,551 --> 01:13:43,786
DOING IN THE COMMUNITY AND 

2115
01:13:43,786 --> 01:13:45,654
NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO LOOK AT 

2116
01:13:45,654 --> 01:13:47,422
ISSUES THAT ARE COMING UP, SO I 

2117
01:13:47,422 --> 01:13:51,059
THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS GREAT 

2118
01:13:51,059 --> 01:13:52,094
SUCCESS LAST YEAR IN LAUNCHING 

2119
01:13:52,094 --> 01:13:52,928
THAT PROGRAM QUICKLY, AND I 

2120
01:13:52,928 --> 01:13:54,830
THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF LESSONS

2121
01:13:54,830 --> 01:13:56,064
LEARNED ABOUT HOW TO DO THAT 

2122
01:13:56,064 --> 01:13:57,065
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PIECE. 

2123
01:13:57,065 --> 01:13:58,901
>> AWESOME, UNDERSTOOD, AND A 

2124
01:13:58,901 --> 01:14:00,469
FOLLOW-UP TO THAT, MR. CHAIR, IF

2125
01:14:00,469 --> 01:14:04,339
I MAY? I ALWAYS WANT TO CHECK 

2126
01:14:04,339 --> 01:14:05,774
WITH THE CHAIR. THE OTHER 

2127
01:14:05,774 --> 01:14:07,676
QUESTION I HAVE, TOO, IS HOW DO 

2128
01:14:07,676 --> 01:14:09,044
WE SEE KING COUNTY REGIONAL 

2129
01:14:09,044 --> 01:14:10,813
HOMELESS AUTHORITY PLAYING INTO 

2130
01:14:10,813 --> 01:14:13,816
THIS EXPANSION, OR DO THEY HAVE 

2131
01:14:13,816 --> 01:14:16,952
A ROLE? OR IS IT -- WE ARE 

2132
01:14:16,952 --> 01:14:18,487
STARTING TO TRANSITION SOME OF 

2133
01:14:18,487 --> 01:14:25,093
THEIR WORK PLAN OR WHAT WE HAVE 

2134
01:14:25,093 --> 01:14:26,562
EXPECTED THEM TO DO, ARE WE 

2135
01:14:26,562 --> 01:14:31,200
TRANSITIONING THAT A LITTLE BIT 

2136
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,669
NOW TO WHAT WE ARE DOING AT THE 

2137
01:14:33,669 --> 01:14:34,403
CITY, BECAUSE THOSE OUTCOMES 

2138
01:14:34,403 --> 01:14:35,838
HAVE NOT BEEN WHAT -- I WILL 

2139
01:14:35,838 --> 01:14:37,372
JUST BE FRANK OF THE PUBLIC HAS 

2140
01:14:37,372 --> 01:14:38,841
ANTICIPATED FOR THE MONEY THAT 

2141
01:14:38,841 --> 01:14:40,776
WE HAVE BEEN SPENDING OR GIVING 

2142
01:14:40,776 --> 01:14:42,444
TO KING COUNTY REGIONAL HOMELESS

2143
01:14:42,444 --> 01:14:42,744
AUTHORITY. 

2144
01:14:42,744 --> 01:14:46,915
>> I WILL LET JON TAKE A CRACK 

2145
01:14:46,915 --> 01:14:48,617
AT THIS, THEN I WILL TAKE OVER 

2146
01:14:48,617 --> 01:14:49,351
IF I NEED TO. 

2147
01:14:49,351 --> 01:14:51,186
>> KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK. [ 

2148
01:14:51,186 --> 01:14:51,753
INAUDIBLE ] 

2149
01:14:51,753 --> 01:14:52,988
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL 

2150
01:14:52,988 --> 01:14:54,957
PRESIDENT. WE HAVE, I THINK, A 

2151
01:14:54,957 --> 01:15:01,196
VERY IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIP AND 

2152
01:15:01,196 --> 01:15:02,231
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE KING

01:15:02,831 --> 01:15:03,932
AUTHORITY. LABEL THE MAJORITY, 

2155
01:15:03,932 --> 01:15:05,334
IF NOT ALL OF THE SHELTER 

2156
01:15:05,334 --> 01:15:06,502
CONTRACTS FOR THE CITY THAT HAVE

2157
01:15:06,502 --> 01:15:07,936
MOVED OVER EVER SINCE IT'S AN 

2158
01:15:07,936 --> 01:15:12,274
OPTION. AND I THINK THAT 

2159
01:15:12,274 --> 01:15:13,141
COLLABORATION WILL CONTINUE. WE 

2160
01:15:13,141 --> 01:15:14,109
HAVE BEEN IN CONVERSATION WITH 

2161
01:15:14,109 --> 01:15:14,943
THEM ABOUT BEST PRACTICES, 

2162
01:15:14,943 --> 01:15:16,478
LOOKING AT THE WAY THAT THEY 

2163
01:15:16,478 --> 01:15:17,946
HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, STRUCTURING

2164
01:15:17,946 --> 01:15:22,284
SOME OF THEIR CONTRACTS FOR 

2165
01:15:22,284 --> 01:15:24,086
SHELTER PROVIDERS AND SEEING IF 

2166
01:15:24,086 --> 01:15:24,720
THERE IS SOME MODELING THERE 

2167
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:25,587
THAT WE WANT TO EMULATE. AND IN 

2168
01:15:25,587 --> 01:15:26,588
TERMS OF WHAT IS THE LONG-TERM 

2169
01:15:26,588 --> 01:15:28,223
VIEW, I THINK THAT DIFFERENT 

2170
01:15:28,223 --> 01:15:31,627
TASKS CALL FOR DIFFERENT [ 

2171
01:15:31,627 --> 01:15:32,694
INAUDIBLE ], AND I THINK THE 

2172
01:15:32,694 --> 01:15:33,495
DIRECTION THAT THE MAYOR'S 

2173
01:15:33,495 --> 01:15:35,063
OFFICE IS HEADING TOWARDS IS TO 

2174
01:15:35,063 --> 01:15:39,868
QUICKLY STAND THESE INITIAL 

2175
01:15:39,868 --> 01:15:41,303
SHELTERS UP AS FAST AS POSSIBLE,

2176
01:15:41,303 --> 01:15:43,138
AND THE CITY JUST HAS UNIQUE 

2177
01:15:43,138 --> 01:15:49,177
ASSETS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO

2178
01:15:49,177 --> 01:15:51,079
[ INAUDIBLE ]. WE HAVE THE 

2179
01:15:51,079 --> 01:15:51,880
FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE 

2180
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:52,648
SERVICES DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS 

2181
01:15:52,648 --> 01:15:53,348
INCREDIBLE EXPERTISE IN REAL 

2182
01:15:53,348 --> 01:15:54,750
ESTATE AND NEGOTIATING LEASES. 

2183
01:15:54,750 --> 01:15:59,254
WE HAVE ALL THE STRENGTH WITH 

2184
01:15:59,254 --> 01:16:00,489
SDCI ABOUT HOW TO EXPEDITE 

2185
01:16:00,489 --> 01:16:01,757
PERMITTING, SO THE CITY HAD SOME

2186
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,525
UNIQUE TOOLS TO ACT QUICKLY ON 

2187
01:16:03,525 --> 01:16:08,163
STANLEY'S UP. I THINK THAT IS 

2188
01:16:08,163 --> 01:16:09,665
NOT -- THAT IS SEEN AS BEING A 

2189
01:16:09,665 --> 01:16:11,133
PARALLEL TO THE WORK THAT WE ARE

2190
01:16:11,133 --> 01:16:12,367
ALSO STILL DOING, AND THE WORK 

2191
01:16:12,367 --> 01:16:13,902
THAT THEY ARE DOING TO OPERATE 

2192
01:16:13,902 --> 01:16:14,836
EXISTING SHELTERS. 

2193
01:16:14,836 --> 01:16:16,638
>> YEAH, AND MY FINAL QUESTION, 

2194
01:16:16,638 --> 01:16:18,707
BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE ON 

2195
01:16:18,707 --> 01:16:22,110
CAPITOL HILL WHEN WE STOOD UP 

2196
01:16:22,110 --> 01:16:24,813
SHELTERS VERY QUICKLY, THERE WAS

2197
01:16:24,813 --> 01:16:26,348
-- I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS 

2198
01:16:26,348 --> 01:16:28,283
OFTEN, THERE WAS A SHELTER THAT 

2199
01:16:28,283 --> 01:16:29,918
WAS STOOD UP AND CAPITOL HILL, 

2200
01:16:29,918 --> 01:16:34,189
PEOPLE WERE [ INAUDIBLE ] VERY 

2201
01:16:34,189 --> 01:16:36,224
FAST, AND IT WAS A MESS, AND [ 

2202
01:16:36,224 --> 01:16:39,394
INAUDIBLE ] WE DO NOT HAVE FOLKS

2203
01:16:39,394 --> 01:16:43,765
ON SITE. IT WAS QUICKLY SET UP, 

2204
01:16:43,765 --> 01:16:45,067
I WAS HAPPY THAT WE GOT SHELTER,

2205
01:16:45,067 --> 01:16:46,969
BUT WE DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER 

2206
01:16:46,969 --> 01:16:47,703
AMOUNT OF SUPERVISION , 

2207
01:16:47,703 --> 01:16:50,839
COUNSELORS, AND PEOPLE TO WALK 

2208
01:16:50,839 --> 01:17:00,849
FOLKS DAY TODAY THROUGH WHATEVER

2209
01:17:00,849 --> 01:17:02,284
ISSUES FOLKS WERE HAVING, SO WE 

2210
01:17:02,284 --> 01:17:03,218
CAN HAVE POSITIVE OUTCOMES, SO I

2211
01:17:03,218 --> 01:17:04,653
THINK THAT IS A LITTLE BIT ON 

2212
01:17:04,653 --> 01:17:05,687
PEOPLE'S MIND WHEN THEY HEAR 

2213
01:17:05,687 --> 01:17:07,055
QUICKLY, THEY'RE LIKE, OKAY, 

2214
01:17:07,055 --> 01:17:09,391
THIS IS QUICKLY, BUT WHAT ARE WE

2215
01:17:09,391 --> 01:17:10,592
DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE 

2216
01:17:10,592 --> 01:17:11,426
FOUNDATION IS BUILT PROPERLY. 

2217
01:17:11,426 --> 01:17:14,896
THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS SAY, WHAT 

2218
01:17:14,896 --> 01:17:15,731
IS THE FOUNDATION BUILT 

2219
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:16,865
PROPERLY? SO, WORKING WITH YOUR 

2220
01:17:16,865 --> 01:17:18,266
OFFICE AND OBVIOUSLY THAT IS 

2221
01:17:18,266 --> 01:17:20,168
REALLY IMPORTANT TO US DISTRICT 

2222
01:17:20,168 --> 01:17:21,970
3 HAS ABSORBED A LOT OF LOW 

2223
01:17:21,970 --> 01:17:23,605
BARRIER SHELTERS AND PERMANENT 

2224
01:17:23,605 --> 01:17:30,278
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, WHICH THE 

2225
01:17:30,278 --> 01:17:31,013
CAPITOL HILL NEIGHBORHOOD IS 

2226
01:17:31,013 --> 01:17:31,847
WELCOMING, THERE ARE OTHER 

2227
01:17:31,847 --> 01:17:32,914

ACCOUNTABILITY METRICS BEING 

2231
01:17:39,154 --> 01:17:42,691
PROVIDED FOR IN THESE SHELTERS 

2232
01:17:42,691 --> 01:17:46,595
TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS 

2233
01:17:46,595 --> 01:17:47,596
SAFE, THEY ARE PROTECTED, AND 

2234
01:17:47,596 --> 01:17:48,964
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE THE 

2235
01:17:48,964 --> 01:17:56,238
RESOURCES THEY NEED , WHO ARE 

2236
01:17:56,238 --> 01:17:56,838
ALL NAVIGATING THIS TOGETHER. 

2237
01:17:56,838 --> 01:17:57,806
THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE 

2238
01:17:57,806 --> 01:17:59,207
NEIGHBORHOOD -- WELL, A COUPLE, 

2239
01:17:59,207 --> 01:18:00,409

2241
01:18:01,410 --> 01:18:02,744
EXCITED FOR THESE. YES, WE WANT 

2242
01:18:02,744 --> 01:18:07,315
TO GET PEOPLE HELP, BUT THE FEAR

2243
01:18:07,315 --> 01:18:08,850
THAT WE HEAR FROM FOLKS IS LIKE,

2244
01:18:08,850 --> 01:18:10,419
HEY, [ INAUDIBLE ], CAN WE MAKE 

2245

TODAY. I'M JUST GOING TO 

2256
01:18:31,707 --> 01:18:32,574
BRIEFLY SHARE SOME REFLECTIONS 

2257
01:18:32,574 --> 01:18:33,909
FROM THE PRESENTATION BECAUSE I 

2258
01:18:33,909 --> 01:18:35,177
KNOW THAT WE ARE RUNNING TIGHT 

2259
01:18:35,177 --> 01:18:36,178
ON TIME. THERE IS ANOTHER 

2260
01:18:36,178 --> 01:18:37,412
PRESENTATION THAT WE HAVE TO GET

2261
01:18:37,412 --> 01:18:39,047
THROUGH TODAY. JUST REAL QUICKLY

2262
01:18:39,047 --> 01:18:41,316
ON STAFFING, I KNOW THAT 

2263
01:18:41,316 --> 01:18:44,186
STAFFING TAKES TIME TO GET 

2264
01:18:44,186 --> 01:18:46,354
PEOPLE INTO THEIR JOBS. DO WE 

2265
01:18:46,354 --> 01:18:47,556
HAVE A CONSIDERATION OF, YOU 

2266
01:18:47,556 --> 01:18:49,591
KNOW, PART OF THIS CONVERSATION,

2267
01:18:49,591 --> 01:18:55,464
I GUESS JON, TO A DIRECT POINT 

2268
01:18:55,464 --> 01:18:56,231
OF QUESTION HERE, I APPRECIATE 

2269
01:18:56,231 --> 01:18:57,666
YOU SAYING THAT THE FOCUS ON THE

2270
01:18:57,666 --> 01:18:59,534
FIRST 500 WILL BE ON HIGH NEEDS 

2271
01:18:59,534 --> 01:19:00,702
OR HIGH ACUITY PEOPLE. WHEN YOU 

2272
01:19:00,702 --> 01:19:01,937
WERE PRESENTING AND TALKING 

2273
01:19:01,937 --> 01:19:04,473
ABOUT THAT THERE ARE IN FACT 

2274
01:19:04,473 --> 01:19:07,476
PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO DON'T NEED 

2275
01:19:07,476 --> 01:19:08,710
THAT LEVEL OF SERVICES, I AGREE 

2276
01:19:08,710 --> 01:19:12,681
WITH YOU, AND I POSIT THAT WE 

2277
01:19:12,681 --> 01:19:14,516
ALREADY HAVE THAT LEVEL OF 

2278
01:19:14,516 --> 01:19:15,250
SHELTER EXISTING TODAY. WHAT WE 

2279
01:19:15,250 --> 01:19:16,952
ARE MISSING RIGHT NOW IN THIS 

2280
01:19:16,952 --> 01:19:18,186
CRITICAL MOMENT IS THAT HIGHER 

2281
01:19:18,186 --> 01:19:22,157
ACUITY SHELTER. I SAY THAT, YOU 

2282
01:19:22,157 --> 01:19:23,658
KNOW, JUST IN MY ANECDOTAL 

2283
01:19:23,658 --> 01:19:24,993
EXPERIENCE ACROSS THE CITY IN 

2284
01:19:24,993 --> 01:19:27,462
DISTRICT 6. I KNOW THE PEOPLE 

2285
01:19:27,462 --> 01:19:28,897
WHO ARE CURRENTLY LIVING 

2286
01:19:28,897 --> 01:19:35,470
HOMELESS IN THE CITY AND IN 

2287
01:19:35,470 --> 01:19:36,138
BALLARD IN PARTICULAR HAVE BEEN 

2288
01:19:36,138 --> 01:19:37,205
KICKED OUT OF TINY HOMES BECAUSE

2289
01:19:37,205 --> 01:19:38,907
IT IS NOT THE RIGHT LEVEL OF 

2290
01:19:38,907 --> 01:19:39,774
SERVICE. AND SO, WE NEED THIS 

2291
01:19:39,774 --> 01:19:41,176
NEXT LEVEL OF SERVICE. IT IS NOT

2292
01:19:41,176 --> 01:19:42,978
JUST STOPPING TO ME, IT IS 

2293
01:19:42,978 --> 01:19:49,317
ESCALATION TEAMS, IT IS NOT THE 

2294
01:19:49,317 --> 01:19:49,985
BEHAVIOR REALISTIC, A FRONT 

2295
01:19:49,985 --> 01:19:51,586
DESK, IT IS THAT THERE IS A TEAM

2296
01:19:51,586 --> 01:19:53,288
OF PEOPLE READY TO CATCH THAT 

2297
01:19:53,288 --> 01:19:54,356
PERSON WHO IS FALLING INTO 

2298
01:19:54,356 --> 01:19:55,490
CRISIS AND THAT WE CAN MEET 

2299
01:19:55,490 --> 01:19:56,792
THEIR NEEDS, AND SO, WITH THAT, 

2300
01:19:56,792 --> 01:19:58,160
DO WE HAVE A PLAN FOR ON 

2301
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:00,562
BOARDING STUFF AND [ INAUDIBLE ]

2302
01:20:00,562 --> 01:20:02,998
ABLE TO HIRE AND TRAIN ALL THESE

2303
01:20:02,998 --> 01:20:05,534
FOLKS? 

2304
01:20:05,534 --> 01:20:07,536
>> I WILL KICK US OFF, THEN HAS 

2305
01:20:07,536 --> 01:20:11,439
TO JON. I JUST WANT TO RESPOND 

2306
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:12,140

2307
01:20:12,140 --> 01:20:13,041
COMMENT AND COUNCILMEMBER 

2308
01:20:13,041 --> 01:20:15,043
HOLLINGSWORTH'S COMMENT, I JUST

2309
01:20:15,043 --> 01:20:21,016
WANT TO REITERATE TO THE 

2310
01:20:21,016 --> 01:20:22,017
MAYOR'S OFFICE THAT WE VERY 

2311
01:20:22,017 --> 01:20:22,884
MUCH ASSURE YOUR INTEREST, 

2312
01:20:22,884 --> 01:20:23,485
COMMITMENT, CONCERN AROUND 

2313
01:20:23,485 --> 01:20:24,486
MAKING SURE THAT THESE SHELTERS 

2314
01:20:24,486 --> 01:20:25,387
ARE STAFFED APPROPRIATELY, THAT 

2315
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:26,388
WE'RE STRIKING THE RIGHT 

2316
01:20:26,388 --> 01:20:30,625
BALANCE BETWEEN RESPONDING WITH 

2317
01:20:30,625 --> 01:20:31,626
URGENCY AND ALSO DOING IT WELL. 

2318
01:20:31,626 --> 01:20:33,128
WE ARE VERY WELL AWARE THAT 

2319
01:20:33,128 --> 01:20:37,999
EVERY TIME SOMETHING DOESN'T GO

2320
01:20:37,999 --> 01:20:39,167
WELL, IT DAMAGES OUR ABILITY TO 

2321
01:20:39,167 --> 01:20:41,436
DO IT IN THE FUTURE, SO I AGAIN 

2322
01:20:41,436 --> 01:20:42,737
JUST WANT TO REITERATE OUR 

2323
01:20:42,737 --> 01:20:43,238
APPRECIATION FOR YOUR

01:20:43,238 --> 01:20:44,639
PARTNERSHIP, FOR YOUR ASKING US 

2325
01:20:44,639 --> 01:20:47,509
THE HARD QUESTIONS, FOR TRYING 

2326
01:20:47,509 --> 01:20:48,944
TO DO A HARD THING TOGETHER. IF 

2327
01:20:48,944 --> 01:20:50,612
IT WAS EASY, IT WOULD BE DONE BY

2328
01:20:50,612 --> 01:20:52,147
NOW. I THINK WE ARE LOOKING 

2329
01:20:52,147 --> 01:20:54,549
FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO PARTNER

2330
01:20:54,549 --> 01:20:55,350
WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THIS 

2331
01:20:55,350 --> 01:20:56,451
IMPLEMENTATION AS WE, YOU KNOW, 

2332
01:20:56,451 --> 01:20:58,453
WORK THROUGH WHAT WE THINK IS 

2333
01:20:58,453 --> 01:21:01,256
GOING TO WORK, LEARN WHAT IS NOT

2334
01:21:01,256 --> 01:21:02,324
QUITE HITTING THE MARKET, AND 

2335
01:21:02,324 --> 01:21:03,225
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AS NEEDED, 

2336
01:21:03,225 --> 01:21:04,426
BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A MAYOR'S 

2337
01:21:04,426 --> 01:21:07,462
OFFICE THAT WANTS TO TAKE A 

2338
01:21:07,462 --> 01:21:08,930
RIBBON AND KIND OF CLAIM A 

2339
01:21:08,930 --> 01:21:11,433
VICTORY WHEN THERE IS NOT 

2340
01:21:11,433 --> 01:21:12,701
ACTUALLY A REAL RESULT ON THE 

2341
01:21:12,701 --> 01:21:13,768
GROUND, SO WE ARE REALLY 

2342
01:21:13,768 --> 01:21:14,703
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH YOU 

2343
01:21:14,703 --> 01:21:16,705
ALL TO SEE THE RESULTS AND WE 

2344
01:21:16,705 --> 01:21:18,206
ARE WELL AWARE THAT THE PROOF IS

2345
01:21:18,206 --> 01:21:19,641
IN THE PUDDING AND WE WILL FIND 

2346
01:21:19,641 --> 01:21:21,109
OUT SOON IF WHAT WE ARE 

2347
01:21:21,109 --> 01:21:22,177
PROPOSING GOES THE WAY WE HOPE 

2348
01:21:22,177 --> 01:21:23,912
IT WILL, AND I THINK WE FEEL 

2349
01:21:23,912 --> 01:21:24,746
VERY CONFIDENT WITH WHAT WE ARE 

2350
01:21:24,746 --> 01:21:26,081
PROPOSING HERE AND WHAT WE ARE 

2351
01:21:26,081 --> 01:21:29,718
WORKING ON TOGETHER, WE WILL GET

2352
01:21:29,718 --> 01:21:30,919
THE RESULTS THAT WE NEED. WITH 

2353
01:21:30,919 --> 01:21:35,790
THAT, I WILL PASS IT TO JON TO 

2354
01:21:35,790 --> 01:21:37,058
TALK ABOUT STAFFING AND HOW WE 

2355
01:21:37,058 --> 01:21:37,425
ARE DOING. 

2356
01:21:37,425 --> 01:21:39,461
>> YEAH, I THINK IT IS AN 

2357
01:21:39,461 --> 01:21:39,961
EXCELLENT  RESTAURANT, 

2358
01:21:39,961 --> 01:21:42,297
COUNCILMEMBER. I WILL KIND OF 

2359
01:21:42,297 --> 01:21:43,732
TURNED TO HSD TO TALK ABOUT THE 

2360
01:21:43,732 --> 01:21:44,599
CONVERSATIONS THEY HAVE BEEN 

2361
01:21:44,599 --> 01:21:46,568
HAVING WITH PROVIDERS, BUT IN NO

2362
01:21:46,568 --> 01:21:48,370
SCENARIO WOULD BE OPEN A SHELTER

2363
01:21:48,370 --> 01:21:49,404
PROGRAM THAT WE WERE NOT 

2364
01:21:49,404 --> 01:21:54,843
CONFIDENT WAS CAPABLE OF BEING 

2365
01:21:54,843 --> 01:21:55,844
FULLY STOCKED AND ABLE TO 

2366
01:21:55,844 --> 01:21:57,145
PROVIDE THE NECESSARY SERVICES 

2367
01:21:57,145 --> 01:21:58,280
TO BE SUCCESSFUL. IT IS 

2368
01:21:58,280 --> 01:21:59,381
IMPORTANT NOT JUST FOR THE 

2369
01:21:59,381 --> 01:22:03,018
NEIGHBORHOOD , [ INAUDIBLE ], 

2370
01:22:03,018 --> 01:22:04,185
THE CLIENTS AND PROGRAM 

2371
01:22:04,185 --> 01:22:08,290
PARTICIPANTS. I WILL SAY THAT 

2372
01:22:08,290 --> 01:22:09,324
FOR THE CONVERSATIONS WE ARE 

2373
01:22:09,324 --> 01:22:10,325
HAVING WITH PROVIDERS, THAT IS 

2374
01:22:10,325 --> 01:22:11,760
WHAT WE ARE ASKING THEM. WE ARE 

2375
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:13,028
ASKING THEM, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE 

2376
01:22:13,028 --> 01:22:14,829
TO GET FROM HERE TO THERE? WHAT 

2377
01:22:14,829 --> 01:22:18,133
WOULD IT TAKE TO MAKE SURE THAT 

2378
01:22:18,133 --> 01:22:19,200
YOU CAN STAFF APPROPRIATELY? AND

2379
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:20,735
EVERY PROVIDER IS GOING TO HAVE 

2380
01:22:20,735 --> 01:22:26,174
A DIFFERENT ANSWER. SOME 

2381
01:22:26,174 --> 01:22:27,509
PROVIDERS ARE MAY BE LARGER THAN

2382
01:22:27,509 --> 01:22:28,343
OTHERS AND THEY CAN ACTUALLY 

2383
01:22:28,343 --> 01:22:29,678
SHIFT STAFF AROUND, AND AS THEY 

2384
01:22:29,678 --> 01:22:30,779
ARE IN THE PROCESS OF STAFFING 

2385
01:22:30,779 --> 01:22:32,213
UP, SOME [ INAUDIBLE ] MIGHT BE 

2386
01:22:32,213 --> 01:22:33,548
SMALLER, AND YOU NEED ADDITIONAL

2387
01:22:33,548 --> 01:22:34,616
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO GET THEM

2388
01:22:34,616 --> 01:22:35,884
TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE TO 

2389
01:22:35,884 --> 01:22:37,152
OPENING UP THE SECOND AND SO, 

2390
01:22:37,152 --> 01:22:38,153
EVERY CONVERSATION IS BEING DONE

2391
01:22:38,153 --> 01:22:39,521
IN, I THINK, AN INTENTIONAL WAY,

2392
01:22:39,521 --> 01:22:40,822
TO MAKE SURE WE ARE FINDING A 

2393
01:22:40,822 --> 01:22:42,457
GOOD MATCH, A GOOD FIT FOR THE 

2394
01:22:42,457 --> 01:22:45,226
SERVICE PROVIDER IN THEIR 

2395
01:22:45,226 --> 01:22:46,328
CAPACITY, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE 

2396
01:22:46,328 --> 01:22:47,595
CAN OPEN UP THESE SITES 

2397
01:22:47,595 --> 01:22:48,363
SUCCESSFULLY. BUT AGAIN, I WILL 

2398
01:22:48,363 --> 01:22:50,532
TURN IT BACK TO HSD AND TALK 

2399
01:22:50,532 --> 01:22:55,570
ABOUT THOSE CONVERSATIONS. 

2400
01:22:55,570 --> 01:22:57,405
>> YEAH, I DON'T THINK I HAVE A

2401
01:22:57,405 --> 01:22:58,606
GREAT DEAL MORE TO ADD, BUT I 

2402
01:22:58,606 --> 01:22:59,808
WILL SAY, AS PART OF THOSE 

2403
01:22:59,808 --> 01:23:01,309
CONVERSATIONS, I THINK IT IS 

2404
01:23:01,309 --> 01:23:02,344
TALKING TO PROVIDERS ABOUT WHEN 

2405
01:23:02,344 --> 01:23:03,511
DOING A CONTRACT TO BE EXECUTED,

2406
01:23:03,511 --> 01:23:04,946
WHEN DO YOU NEED TO ONWARD, WHAT

2407
01:23:04,946 --> 01:23:05,780
KIND OF FLEXIBILITY AND 

2408
01:23:05,780 --> 01:23:06,948
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CAN WE 

2409
01:23:06,948 --> 01:23:07,949
PROVIDE TO GIVE YOU THAT 

2410
01:23:07,949 --> 01:23:09,184
CONTRACT TO BEGIN THE WORK, TO 

2411
01:23:09,184 --> 01:23:10,618
BE READY ONCE THE SITE IS FULLY 

2412
01:23:10,618 --> 01:23:12,187
DEVELOPED, SO I THINK THAT'S 

2413
01:23:12,187 --> 01:23:16,224
REALLY WHAT IS KEY AND THE 

2414
01:23:16,224 --> 01:23:17,158
STAGGERING OF WHEN STAFF GET 

2415
01:23:17,158 --> 01:23:18,993
HIRED AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE

2416
01:23:18,993 --> 01:23:19,994
THAT THE POSSIBILITY FOR THEM TO

2417
01:23:19,994 --> 01:23:21,363
BE READY TO GO, AND CONFIDENT 

2418
01:23:21,363 --> 01:23:22,464
THAT THEY CAN HANDLE THIS 

2419
01:23:22,464 --> 01:23:22,764
OPERATIONS. 

2420
01:23:22,764 --> 01:23:25,800
>> AND I MIGHT ADD TO THAT. 

2421
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:26,801
>> THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN. 

2422
01:23:26,801 --> 01:23:28,002
>> OH, I'M SORRY. 

2423
01:23:28,002 --> 01:23:33,208
>> GO AHEAD. 

2424
01:23:33,208 --> 01:23:34,576
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR, I KNOW I 

2425
01:23:34,576 --> 01:23:35,643
HAVE ALREADY TAKEN UP FIVE 

2426
01:23:35,643 --> 01:23:36,911
MINUTES, SO I'M JUST GOING TO 

2427
01:23:36,911 --> 01:23:38,513
ASK ONE MORE QUESTION JUST TO 

2428
01:23:38,513 --> 01:23:39,214
UNDERSTAND. I THINK I'VE HAD A 

2429
01:23:39,214 --> 01:23:40,515
DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE WITH SDCI 

2430
01:23:40,515 --> 01:23:41,216
THAN THE COMMITTEE TABLE, AND 

2431
01:23:41,216 --> 01:23:42,751
THAT IS JUST STATING WE HAD AN 

2432
01:23:42,751 --> 01:23:45,320
AUDIT OF THE PERMITTING PROCESS 

2433
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:49,057
DONE IN 2023 POINT I KNOW THAT 

2434
01:23:49,057 --> 01:23:50,558
SDCI IS WORKING ON IT RIGHT NOW,

2435
01:23:50,558 --> 01:23:52,027
BUT IT IS THREE YEARS LATER AND 

2436
01:23:52,027 --> 01:23:52,694
THEY HAVEN'T HAD THOSE 

2437
01:23:52,694 --> 01:23:54,029
RECOMMENDATIONS ACHIEVED YET. 

2438
01:23:54,029 --> 01:23:55,997
AND SPECIFICALLY, EVEN WITH THE 

2439
01:23:55,997 --> 01:24:00,402
EXPEDITED PERMITTING FOR, YOU 

2440
01:24:00,402 --> 01:24:01,803
KNOW, SHELTERS AND HOUSING, IT 

2441
01:24:01,803 --> 01:24:03,671
WAS MY EXPERIENCE [ INAUDIBLE ] 

2442
01:24:03,671 --> 01:24:08,176
SAFE LOT THAT SDCI SLOWED THE 

2443
01:24:08,176 --> 01:24:08,810
PROCESS DOWN AND ACTUALLY 

2444
01:24:08,810 --> 01:24:10,712
REDUCED THE NUMBER OF RVs THAT 

2445
01:24:10,712 --> 01:24:17,018
WE COULD HOST ON THAT SITE IN A 

2446
01:24:17,018 --> 01:24:18,119
TEMPORARY WAY, AND SO, MY 

2447
01:24:18,119 --> 01:24:19,387
QUESTION, AND I WILL ADD A 

2448
01:24:19,387 --> 01:24:22,457
CHARGE HERE FOR THE TABLE, FOR 

2449
01:24:22,457 --> 01:24:24,459
THE COMMITTEE TABLE. I BROUGHT 

2450
01:24:24,459 --> 01:24:28,696
THIS UP AT THE LAST COMMITTEE, 

2451
01:24:28,696 --> 01:24:29,497
EVERETT, THE SEVENTH LARGEST 

2452
01:24:29,497 --> 01:24:30,598
CITY IN THE STATE, NOT THE 

2453
01:24:30,598 --> 01:24:32,000
FIRST, SEVENTH, THEY WERE ABLE 

2454
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,969
FROM THE MOMENT THAT THEIR 

2455
01:24:34,969 --> 01:24:35,937
SHELTERS ARRIVED ON A LOCATION, 

2456
01:24:35,937 --> 01:24:38,073
48 HOURS LATER, THAT ENTIRE 

2457
01:24:38,073 --> 01:24:45,146
SHELTER SITE WAS ONLINE. AND IT 

2458
01:24:45,146 --> 01:24:46,014
MIGHT HAVE EVEN BEEN BEFORE 

2459
01:24:46,014 --> 01:24:47,115
THAT, THEY MIGHT HAVE DONE ALL 

2460
01:24:47,115 --> 01:24:48,349
PERMITTING IN 48 HOURS AS WELL. 

2461
01:24:48,349 --> 01:24:49,751
SO, MY CHALLENGE TO YOU IS TO 

2462
01:24:49,751 --> 01:24:52,053
MEET OR BEAT EVERETT'S RECORD 

2463
01:24:52,053 --> 01:24:58,259
AND GET THAT SHELTER SITE [ 

2464
01:24:58,259 --> 01:24:59,427
INAUDIBLE ] TURNED ON WITHIN 48 

2465
01:24:59,427 --> 01:25:00,228
HOURS OF RECEIVING PERMITS, 

2466
01:25:00,228 --> 01:25:02,997
BECAUSE IT'S MY EXPERIENCE THAT

2467
01:25:02,997 --> 01:25:04,466
IT IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS 

2468
01:25:04,466 --> 01:25:07,335
CONVEYED , AND SO, THAT IS MY 

2469
01:25:07,335 --> 01:25:08,536
CHALLENGE TO YOU, MAKE SURE THAT

2470
01:25:08,536 --> 01:25:11,739
WE ARE ABLE TO SUBMIT, LOCATE, 

2471
01:25:11,739 --> 01:25:13,775
AND CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY IS 

2472
01:25:13,775 --> 01:25:18,446
SHELTER SITES WITHIN 48 HOURS. 

2473
01:25:18,446 --> 01:25:19,881
ALSO NOTE, AND I DON'T NEED THE

2474
01:25:19,881 --> 01:25:21,149
ANSWER NOW IN THE INTEREST OF 

2475
01:25:21,149 --> 01:25:23,685
TIME, THAT IT WAS REPRESENTED BY

2476
01:25:23,685 --> 01:25:24,819
THE COMMITTEE TABLE THAT THERE 

2477
01:25:24,819 --> 01:25:28,623
ARE CONTINUING TO BE MONTHLY 

2478
01:25:28,623 --> 01:25:29,757
MEETINGS WITH THE TINY HOME 

2479
01:25:29,757 --> 01:25:31,926
VILLAGES. I CAN SAY THAT THE TWO

2480
01:25:31,926 --> 01:25:33,094
THAT ARE CLOSEST HERE IN 

2481
01:25:33,094 --> 01:25:37,298
DISTRICT 6, THE TWO TINY HOME 

2482
01:25:37,298 --> 01:25:38,566
VILLAGES, I DON'T EXPERIENCE 

2483
01:25:38,566 --> 01:25:41,136
ISSUES WITH THEM. THEIR 

2484
01:25:41,136 --> 01:25:42,337
NEIGHBORS KNOW HOW TO GET IN 

2485
01:25:42,337 --> 01:25:44,539
TOUCH WITH ME AND I KNOW HOW TO 

2486
01:25:44,539 --> 01:25:46,040
GET IN TOUCH WITH THE EXECUTIVE 

2487
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:47,308
DIRECTORS, SO WE HAVE BEEN ABLE 

2488
01:25:47,308 --> 01:25:48,443
TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUES THAT 

2489
01:25:48,443 --> 01:25:52,981
ARISE, BUT I AM NOT AWARE OF THE

2490
01:25:52,981 --> 01:25:54,215
MONTHLY MEETINGS. SO, IF WE AS A

2491
01:25:54,215 --> 01:25:55,216
CITY THINK THAT IS SOMETHING 

2492
01:25:55,216 --> 01:25:56,918
THAT IS GOING TO OCCUR, I WOULD 

2493
01:25:56,918 --> 01:25:57,719
LIKE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF 

2494
01:25:57,719 --> 01:26:00,588
WHEN AND HOW THOSE OCCUR. I WILL

2495
01:26:00,588 --> 01:26:01,856
TURN IT OVER TO THE COMMITTEE 

2496
01:26:01,856 --> 01:26:03,057
TABLE FOR ANY RESPONSES TO THE 

2497
01:26:03,057 --> 01:26:04,292
48 HOUR CHALLENGE, AND WE CAN 

2498
01:26:04,292 --> 01:26:05,560
FOLLOW UP LATER ABOUT THE 

2499
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:12,901
MONTHLY MEETINGS. 

2500
01:26:12,901 --> 01:26:14,235
>> I APPRECIATE THE CHALLENGE, 

2501
01:26:14,235 --> 01:26:16,671
COUNCILMEMBER. I'M DEFINITELY 

2502
01:26:16,671 --> 01:26:17,772
INTERESTED IN REACHING OUT TO 

2503
01:26:17,772 --> 01:26:21,576
EVERETT TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE 

2504
01:26:21,576 --> 01:26:23,278
DOING, HOW THEY ARE ACHIEVING 

2505
01:26:23,278 --> 01:26:25,680
THAT, VERY IMPRESSIVE. I BELIEVE

2506
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:26,981
RIGHT NOW, WE ARE DOING FIVE TO 

2507
01:26:26,981 --> 01:26:28,383

YOUR TIME. I WANT TO START FIRST

2536
01:27:27,809 --> 01:27:29,077
WITH, I KNOW THAT RECENTLY THE 

2537
01:27:29,077 --> 01:27:31,746
MAYOR ANNOUNCED ONE OF THE SITES

2538
01:27:31,746 --> 01:27:33,815
FOR THE SHELTER EXPANSION AND I 

2539
01:27:33,815 --> 01:27:34,782
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE, 

2540
01:27:34,782 --> 01:27:35,783
SPECIFICALLY WHETHER OR NOT YOU 

2541
01:27:35,783 --> 01:27:37,185
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY A 

2542
01:27:37,185 --> 01:27:38,553
LOCATION FOR THE 250 UNIT PILOT 

2543
01:27:38,553 --> 01:27:41,522
SITE 

2544
01:27:41,522 --> 01:27:42,657
>> HI, COUNCILMEMBER, NO, WE 

2545
01:27:42,657 --> 01:27:44,392
HAVE NOT, WE HAVE NOT LOCATED A 

2546
01:27:44,392 --> 01:27:46,361
SPECIFIC LOCATION. I THINK THE 

2547
01:27:46,361 --> 01:27:51,899
THINKING HERE IS THAT IT WOULD 

2548
01:27:51,899 --> 01:27:52,467
BE PREMATURE TO IDENTIFY A 

2549
01:27:52,467 --> 01:27:53,434
LOCATION UNTIL THIS LEGISLATION 

2550
01:27:53,434 --> 01:27:55,436
PASSES AND I WOULD SAY THAT, YOU

2551
01:27:55,436 --> 01:28:03,411
KNOW, OF THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS 

2552
01:28:03,411 --> 01:28:04,479
THAT ARE OUT THERE, WE DID GIVE 

2553
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:10,151
AN EXAMPLE OF THE LAST COMMITTEE

2554
01:28:10,151 --> 01:28:11,552
MEETING FOR CAMP SECOND CHANCE, 

2555
01:28:11,552 --> 01:28:12,186
JUST TO KIND OF ILLUSTRATE WHAT 

2556
01:28:12,186 --> 01:28:12,787
THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. I THINK 

2557
01:28:12,787 --> 01:28:14,789
FOLKS -- IT WAS KIND OF HARD TO 

2558
01:28:14,789 --> 01:28:15,356
PICTURE MAYBE WHAT TYPE OF 

2559
01:28:15,356 --> 01:28:15,990
PROGRAM WOULD BE A GOOD FIT. AND

2560
01:28:15,990 --> 01:28:17,492
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME SITES 

2561
01:28:17,492 --> 01:28:19,661
OUT THERE THAT HAVE A PRETTY 

2562
01:28:19,661 --> 01:28:20,261
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PUBLIC 

2563
01:28:20,261 --> 01:28:21,596
LAND ALONG THEM THAT COULD BE 

2564
01:28:21,596 --> 01:28:22,296
UTILIZED, BUT WE HAVE NOT 

2565
01:28:22,296 --> 01:28:27,502
DECIDED , YOU KNOW, WHAT 

2566
01:28:27,502 --> 01:28:28,302
PARTICULAR LOCATION WE MIGHT 

2567
01:28:28,302 --> 01:28:29,537
WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. I 

2568
01:28:29,537 --> 01:28:31,406
THINK WE WANT TO HAVE A LOT MORE

2569
01:28:31,406 --> 01:28:32,040
INTENTIONAL CONVERSATIONS WITH 

2570
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:32,674
EACH COUNCILMEMBER ABOUT SITES 

2571
01:28:32,674 --> 01:28:33,775
IN THEIR DISTRICT BEFORE MOVING 

2572
01:28:33,775 --> 01:28:34,042
FORWARD. 

2573
01:28:34,042 --> 01:28:34,942
>> OKAY, THANK YOU. THIS 

2574
01:28:34,942 --> 01:28:41,349
QUESTION ACTUALLY DOESN'T NEED 

2575
01:28:41,349 --> 01:28:42,617
A RESPONSE, IT JUST NEEDS A 

2576
01:28:42,617 --> 01:28:43,785
RESPONSE LATER, I JUST WANTED TO

2577
01:28:43,785 --> 01:28:45,086

2578
01:28:45,086 --> 01:28:46,087

01:29:55,923 --> 01:29:57,391
SPECIFIC STRATEGIES, AND I WOULD

01:30:20,748 --> 01:30:25,987
GEOGRAPHIC [ INAUDIBLE ] 

2628
01:30:25,987 --> 01:30:26,521
UNDERCOVER OPERATIONS FOR 

2629
01:30:26,521 --> 01:30:30,391
EXAMPLE. OUR MONITORING 

2630
01:30:30,391 --> 01:30:36,230

LIKE WE HAVE BEEN CALLING THEM, 

2633
01:30:41,502 --> 01:30:45,006
WHO TRAVEL TO SITES , ENGAGE IN 

2634
01:30:45,006 --> 01:30:47,875
COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS, LEAVE 

2635
01:30:47,875 --> 01:30:49,677
THE SITES. SOME OF THIS 

2636
01:30:49,677 --> 01:30:51,746
INFORMATION COMES IN FROM 

2637
01:30:51,746 --> 01:30:52,914
NEIGHBORS TO OBSERVE, TO TAKE 

2638
01:30:52,914 --> 01:30:53,848
PICTURES OF THEIR OWN CELL 

2639
01:30:53,848 --> 01:30:54,849
PHONES, SOME OF THE INFORMATION 

2640
01:30:54,849 --> 01:30:59,120
COMES FROM BEING ON SITE WHEN 

2641
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:00,955
OFFICERS ARE ACCOMPANYING USED 

2642
01:31:00,955 --> 01:31:08,963
CT SITE VISITS, AND SO, THAT 

2643
01:31:08,963 --> 01:31:09,997
PIECE -- I DON'T KNOW THAT 

2644
01:31:09,997 --> 01:31:11,299
THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE DETAIL 

2645
01:31:11,299 --> 01:31:12,433
THAT WE WILL BE PUBLISHING ABOUT

2646
01:31:12,433 --> 01:31:13,467
WHAT AN UNDERCOVER OPERATION 

2647
01:31:13,467 --> 01:31:15,636
MIGHT LOOK LIKE, BUT THAT IS 

2648
01:31:15,636 --> 01:31:16,704
PROBABLY THE PRIMARY TOOL THAT 

2649
01:31:16,704 --> 01:31:19,373
WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. AND I WILL 

2650
01:31:19,373 --> 01:31:23,811
OFFER, AGAIN, WHAT I THINK I 

2651
01:31:23,811 --> 01:31:25,213
OFFERED IN THE LAST HEARING, 

2652
01:31:25,213 --> 01:31:26,747
WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS 

2653
01:31:26,747 --> 01:31:30,484
EVENT, SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT

2654
01:31:30,484 --> 01:31:33,087
IS QUITE WILLING TO MEET WITH 

2655
01:31:33,087 --> 01:31:34,255

WITH A PARTICULAR [ INAUDIBLE ].

>> I SET IT AROUND THE TABLE 

2664
01:32:02,950 --> 01:32:04,252
EARLIER THIS WEEK, I THINK IT'S

2665
01:32:04,252 --> 01:32:05,219
IMPORTANT THAT WE ASK QUESTIONS 

2666
01:32:05,219 --> 01:32:06,420
AROUND SAFETY AND THAT WE ALL 

2667
01:32:06,420 --> 01:32:07,255
YOUR QUESTIONS FROM COMMUNITY 

2668
01:32:07,255 --> 01:32:08,723
MEMBERS. WE HEAR QUESTIONS FROM 

2669
01:32:08,723 --> 01:32:10,091
FOLKS WHO ARE LIVING IN THE TINY

01:32:10,091 --> 01:32:11,225
HOME VILLAGES, AS WELL AS 

2671
01:32:11,225 --> 01:32:14,829
NEIGHBORS, AND ASKING THOSE 

2672
01:32:14,829 --> 01:32:15,863
QUESTIONS DOES NOT MEAN THAT 

2673
01:32:15,863 --> 01:32:16,998
TINY HOME VILLAGES ARE 

2674
01:32:16,998 --> 01:32:21,068
INHERENTLY DANGEROUS I WANT TO 

2675
01:32:21,068 --> 01:32:22,303
STATE THAT PLAINLY AND CLEARLY. 

2676
01:32:22,303 --> 01:32:24,472
I HAVE THREE THAT I CAN WALK TO 

2677
01:32:24,472 --> 01:32:28,976
FROM MY HOUSE. MYSELF AND MY 

2678
01:32:28,976 --> 01:32:30,011
NEIGHBORS WELCOMED THEM AS PART 

2679
01:32:30,011 --> 01:32:31,245
OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND WITH THAT,

2680
01:32:31,245 --> 01:32:32,446
I WILL GO UNTIL MY FOLLOW-UP 

2681
01:32:32,446 --> 01:32:33,514

2682
01:32:33,514 --> 01:32:35,516
BUT I WANT TO GET INTO SOME OF 

2683
01:32:35,516 --> 01:32:43,624

2686
01:32:51,399 --> 01:32:58,105
THE SORT OF ATTEMPTS TO TAKE 

2687
01:32:58,105 --> 01:32:59,140
ADVANTAGE OF FOLKS IN THOSE 

2688
01:32:59,140 --> 01:32:59,974
COMMUNITIES. ARE THERE OTHER 

2689
01:32:59,974 --> 01:33:01,042
KINDS OF ACTIVITIES THAT ARE 

2690
01:33:01,042 --> 01:33:02,176
COMING TO MIND HIM COMING INTO 

2691
01:33:02,176 --> 01:33:02,610
FOCUS HERE? 

2692
01:33:02,610 --> 01:33:04,578
>> THE THREE CATEGORIES OF 

2693
01:33:04,578 --> 01:33:06,647
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY THAT APPEARED 

2694
01:33:06,647 --> 01:33:11,018
TO BE MORE PREVALENT IN CONCERNS

2695
01:33:11,018 --> 01:33:14,855
ABOUT ENCAMPMENTS REALLY DEAL 

2696
01:33:14,855 --> 01:33:15,890
WITH THE VULNERABILITY OF THE 

2697
01:33:15,890 --> 01:33:16,924
POPULATIONS THERE, SO IN 

2698
01:33:16,924 --> 01:33:17,892
ADDITION TO PEOPLE TAKING 

2699
01:33:17,892 --> 01:33:19,327
ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT PEOPLE ARE

2700
01:33:19,327 --> 01:33:24,699
SUFFERING FROM SUBSTANCE USE , 

2701
01:33:24,699 --> 01:33:25,833
WE ALSO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT 

2702
01:33:25,833 --> 01:33:27,201
HUMAN TRAFFICKING, AND FINALLY, 

2703
01:33:27,201 --> 01:33:29,103
THE ORGANIZED RETAIL THEFT 

2704
01:33:29,103 --> 01:33:32,807
AND/OR BASIC METAL, STEALING 

2705
01:33:32,807 --> 01:33:36,377
COPPER WIRES FROM COMMERCIAL 

2706
01:33:36,377 --> 01:33:37,278
SITES, CONSTRUCTION SITES, ET 

2707
01:33:37,278 --> 01:33:39,480
CETERA. AND SETTING UP SHOP IN 

2708
01:33:39,480 --> 01:33:42,817
RVs THAT ARE PARKED CLOSE TO 

2709
01:33:42,817 --> 01:33:49,390
ENCAMPMENTS. AN RV OR SPECIFIC 

2710
01:33:49,390 --> 01:33:50,992
TENT THAT IS NOT TOO FAR FROM AN

2711
01:33:50,992 --> 01:33:52,193
ENCAMPMENT WHERE YOU HAVE REALLY

2712
01:33:52,193 --> 01:33:53,260
A CONCENTRATION OF ILLICIT 

2713
01:33:53,260 --> 01:33:54,428
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY OCCURRING 

2714
01:33:54,428 --> 01:33:55,463
OUT OF THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION, 

2715
01:33:55,463 --> 01:33:57,498
AND TO YOUR POINT, IT'S ONE OR 

2716
01:33:57,498 --> 01:33:58,799
TWO PEOPLE THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE 

2717
01:33:58,799 --> 01:34:02,403
FOR A LOT OF THIS ACTIVITY THAT 

2718
01:34:02,403 --> 01:34:04,372
IS OF CONCERN TO COMMUNITY. 

2719
01:34:04,372 --> 01:34:08,476
>> THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO TURN

2720
01:34:08,476 --> 01:34:14,415
TO SOME QUESTIONS THAT MY 

2721
01:34:14,415 --> 01:34:15,082
COLLEAGUE, COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ,

2722
01:34:15,082 --> 01:34:15,916
PASSED ON, SINCE SHE COULDN'T 

2723
01:34:15,916 --> 01:34:17,752
ATTEND TODAY, SO I WANT TO ASK 

2724
01:34:17,752 --> 01:34:20,087
THOSE FOR HER. CAN YOU JUST 

2725
01:34:20,087 --> 01:34:20,988
SHARE MORE ABOUT HOW THE 

2726
01:34:20,988 --> 01:34:22,056
VICINITY OF SHELTER PROGRAMS IS 

2727
01:34:22,056 --> 01:34:23,124
TO FIND? WE'VE GOT SOME 

2728
01:34:23,124 --> 01:34:26,761
LANGUAGE THAT IS ON THIS SLIDE. 

2729
01:34:26,761 --> 01:34:28,596
X WE DON'T HOUSE SPECIFIC 

2730
01:34:28,596 --> 01:34:29,563
MEASUREMENTS AT THIS TIME. WHAT 

2731
01:34:29,563 --> 01:34:30,831
I CAN SHARE JUST ANECDOTALLY IS 

2732
01:34:30,831 --> 01:34:32,500
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I WENT ON A 

2733
01:34:32,500 --> 01:34:35,870
FIELD TRIP WITH YOU CT TO SOME 

2734
01:34:35,870 --> 01:34:37,605
SITES, THERE WAS ONE 10th THAT 

2735
01:34:37,605 --> 01:34:40,207
WAS ALLEGED TO BE A LOCATION OF 

2736
01:34:40,207 --> 01:34:41,475
A PERSON ENGAGING IN DRUG 

2737
01:34:41,475 --> 01:34:44,045
DEALING THAT WAS ROUGHLY TWO 

2738
01:34:44,045 --> 01:34:46,947
BLOCKS FROM ONE OF THE MULTIPLE 

2739
01:34:46,947 --> 01:34:48,215
ENCAMPMENTS ACROSS THE BALLARD 

2740
01:34:48,215 --> 01:34:51,318
NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS WHERE WE 

2741
01:34:51,318 --> 01:34:54,722
WERE VISITING. SOME MAY BE 

2742
01:34:54,722 --> 01:34:55,523
ACTUALLY WITHIN THE ENCAMPMENT 

2743
01:34:55,523 --> 01:34:59,927
ITSELF. YOU MIGHT HAVE ONE TENT 

2744
01:34:59,927 --> 01:35:02,063
TO THE MIDDLE OF AN ENCAMPMENT. 

2745
01:35:02,063 --> 01:35:03,030
THERE WAS ANOTHER LOCATION WHERE

2746
01:35:03,030 --> 01:35:04,865
THAT APPEARED TO BE WHAT WAS 

2747
01:35:04,865 --> 01:35:07,334
HAPPENING AT THAT ACTIVITY. A 

2748
01:35:07,334 --> 01:35:08,335
THIRD LOCATION THAT WE VISITED, 

2749
01:35:08,335 --> 01:35:10,204
AN RV WAS POINTED OUT TO ME THAT

2750
01:35:10,204 --> 01:35:14,308
WAS -- NO INFORMATION SUGGESTING

2751
01:35:14,308 --> 01:35:16,510
THAT THE INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVED 

2752
01:35:16,510 --> 01:35:18,512
IN THAT RV OR RESIDED IN THAT RV

2753
01:35:18,512 --> 01:35:22,483
-- EXCUSE ME, I WOULD SAY, AS A 

2754
01:35:22,483 --> 01:35:23,651
POINT OF CLARIFICATION, MAY NOT 

2755
01:35:23,651 --> 01:35:29,423
ACTUALLY MEAN LIVING IN THAT RV,

2756
01:35:29,423 --> 01:35:31,025
BUT MAYBE LIVING IN A HOME OR AN

2757
01:35:31,025 --> 01:35:32,193
APARTMENT CLOSE BY AND USING 

2758
01:35:32,193 --> 01:35:33,094
THAT RV AS A LOCATION. 

2759
01:35:33,094 --> 01:35:34,462
GENERALLY, I WOULD SAY WITHIN 

2760
01:35:34,462 --> 01:35:35,930
WALKING DISTANCE OF INDIVIDUALS 

2761
01:35:35,930 --> 01:35:38,566
THAT ARE NOT LIKELY TO WALK VERY

2762
01:35:38,566 --> 01:35:40,134
FAR FROM THERE ENCAMPMENTS, TO 

2763
01:35:40,134 --> 01:35:45,339
BE ABLE TO ACCESS ILLICIT 

2764
01:35:45,339 --> 01:35:46,240
SUBSTANCES FOR EXAMPLE, SO 

2765
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:46,774
DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC 

2766
01:35:46,774 --> 01:35:47,374
MEASUREMENTS, AND APPRECIATE 

2767
01:35:47,374 --> 01:35:49,143
THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS 

2768
01:35:49,143 --> 01:35:51,612
BEEN DISCUSSED , AND IT MAY BE 

2769
01:35:51,612 --> 01:35:52,913
USEFUL FOR US TO HAVE ONGOING 

2770
01:35:52,913 --> 01:35:55,449
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT THE 

2771
01:35:55,449 --> 01:36:01,455
DATA CAN SHOW US AS WE START TO 

2772
01:36:01,455 --> 01:36:02,590
HAVE INVESTIGATIVE OPERATIONS 

2773
01:36:02,590 --> 01:36:02,890
COMPLETED. 

2774
01:36:02,890 --> 01:36:08,863
>> THANK YOU. AND THEN MY FINAL 

2775
01:36:08,863 --> 01:36:10,164
QUESTION, IT IS STILL SORT OF IN

2776
01:36:10,164 --> 01:36:11,031
THE PUBLIC SAFETY REALM, BUT 

2777
01:36:11,031 --> 01:36:12,199
MAYBE A DIFFERENT APPROACH, I 

2778
01:36:12,199 --> 01:36:13,334
KNOW THAT SOME OF THE PROVIDERS 

2779
01:36:13,334 --> 01:36:14,702
HAVE WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS 

2780
01:36:14,702 --> 01:36:16,704
WHO THEN HELP WITH MAKING SURE 

2781
01:36:16,704 --> 01:36:17,838
THAT THE FOLKS WHO WERE THERE 

2782
01:36:17,838 --> 01:36:19,807
WERE SAFE, SO I KNOW SOME THE 

2783
01:36:19,807 --> 01:36:20,441
PROVIDERS HAVE A CONTRACT WITH 

2784
01:36:20,441 --> 01:36:21,175
WE DELIVER CARE, FOR EXAMPLE, 

2785
01:36:21,175 --> 01:36:22,810
AND THAT FOCUS IS ON MAKING SURE

2786
01:36:22,810 --> 01:36:24,478
THAT THERE ARE FOLKS IN THE 

2787
01:36:24,478 --> 01:36:30,584
ENCAMPMENT [ INAUDIBLE ] AND 

2788
01:36:30,584 --> 01:36:31,652
THEY HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO 

2789
01:36:31,652 --> 01:36:32,920
TREATMENT, THE FATHER ACCESS TO 

2790
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:33,654
CASE MANAGEMENT, AND THEN THERE 

2791
01:36:33,654 --> 01:36:35,389
IS SORT OF A WAY TO MAKE SURE 

2792
01:36:35,389 --> 01:36:36,690
THAT THOSE HOPES ARE ALSO SAFE 

2793
01:36:36,690 --> 01:36:38,225
COMING AND GOING. IS THAT ALSO 

2794
01:36:38,225 --> 01:36:38,959
PART OF THE CURRENT CONVERSATION

2795
01:36:38,959 --> 01:36:40,227
AS WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THE 

2796
01:36:40,227 --> 01:36:41,796
APPROACH TO PUBLIC SAFETY, AND 

2797
01:36:41,796 --> 01:36:45,800
GIVEN SORT OF THE SPD COMPONENT 

2798
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:46,801
TODAY, AND I'M CURIOUS WHERE 

2799
01:36:46,801 --> 01:36:47,701
THAT SORT OF COLLABORATIVE OR 

2800
01:36:47,701 --> 01:36:49,170
INTEGRATIVE MODEL MIGHT FIT INTO

2801
01:36:49,170 --> 01:36:49,503
THE APPROACH. 

2802
01:36:49,503 --> 01:36:53,707
>> WHAT I WILL SAY IS THAT WE 

2803
01:36:53,707 --> 01:36:54,909
REALLY APPRECIATED THAT COUNCIL 

2804
01:36:54,909 --> 01:36:59,480
HAS ENGAGED US IN PROVIDING MORE

2805
01:36:59,480 --> 01:36:59,980
INFORMATION ABOUT THE 

2806
01:36:59,980 --> 01:37:00,781
ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE TEAMS THAT 

2807
01:37:00,781 --> 01:37:06,687
CITY DEPARTMENTS HAVE. I MIGHT 

2808
01:37:06,687 --> 01:37:07,988
GET BACK TO MY COLLEAGUE IF 

2809
01:37:07,988 --> 01:37:08,956
THERE HAVE BEEN SPECIFIC 

2810
01:37:08,956 --> 01:37:09,990
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT. WHAT I

2811
01:37:09,990 --> 01:37:11,058
CAN SAY FROM MY ENGAGEMENT WITH 

2812
01:37:11,058 --> 01:37:12,359
SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND 

2813
01:37:12,359 --> 01:37:21,435
CARE IS THAT ABSOLUTELY, THE 

2814
01:37:21,435 --> 01:37:22,436
GOAL IS TO HAVE PEOPLE 

2815
01:37:22,436 --> 01:37:23,671
AVAILABLE, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT 

2816
01:37:23,671 --> 01:37:26,040
RELATIONSHIP IS WHAT IS THE KEY 

2817
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:36,250
TO SUCCESS. 

2818
01:37:41,088 --> 01:37:42,489
>> WE HAVE BEEN IN CONVERSATION 

2819
01:37:42,489 --> 01:37:43,190
WITH A FEW PROVIDERS THAT 

2820
01:37:43,190 --> 01:37:43,891
PROVIDE DE-ESCALATION SERVICES, 

2821
01:37:43,891 --> 01:37:45,192
AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE

2822
01:37:45,192 --> 01:37:46,460
HAVE ASKED -- WE ARE BROUGHT 

2823
01:37:46,460 --> 01:37:47,461
TOGETHER SOME PROVIDERS TO GIVE 

2824
01:37:47,461 --> 01:37:48,696
FEEDBACK ON THIS LARGER EFFORT. 

2825
01:37:48,696 --> 01:37:50,097
AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE 

2826
01:37:50,097 --> 01:37:51,332
ASKED WAS WHAT WORKS BEST? LIKE 

2827
01:37:51,332 --> 01:37:52,566
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A 

2828
01:37:52,566 --> 01:37:53,767
CITYWIDE TEAM OF FOLKS THAT ARE 

2829
01:37:53,767 --> 01:37:57,571
TRYING TO DO ESCALATION, THAT 

2830
01:37:57,571 --> 01:37:59,006
CAN KIND OF BE LIKE AN ADDED 

2831
01:37:59,006 --> 01:38:01,775
ASSET TO WHAT YOU NEED AT A 

2832
01:38:01,775 --> 01:38:03,410
PARTICULAR LOCATION THAT CAN BE 

2833
01:38:03,410 --> 01:38:08,048
KIND OF LIKE A MOBILE UNIT THAT 

2834
01:38:08,048 --> 01:38:08,849
TRAVELS AROUND TO DIFFERENT 

2835
01:38:08,849 --> 01:38:10,150
LOCATIONS AND PROVIDES SERVICES 

2836
01:38:10,150 --> 01:38:20,194
THERE, OR ALTERNATIVELY, [ 

2837
01:38:20,194 --> 01:38:21,362
INAUDIBLE ] WITH THE PEOPLE THAT

2838
01:38:21,362 --> 01:38:22,396
THEY HAVE WORKING WITHIN THE 

2839
01:38:22,396 --> 01:38:23,163
EXISTING ORGANIZATION? A GOOD 

2840
01:38:23,163 --> 01:38:24,665
EXAMPLE OF THAT IS THE STAR 

2841
01:38:24,665 --> 01:38:25,833
CENTER, DSC STAFF IN FRONT OF 

2842
01:38:25,833 --> 01:38:26,634
THE BUILDING TRYING TO 

2843
01:38:26,634 --> 01:38:27,902
DE-ESCALATE SITUATIONS FROM THE 

2844
01:38:27,902 --> 01:38:30,471
STREET , RIGHT IN THE VICINITY, 

2845
01:38:30,471 --> 01:38:31,939
SO THAT WOULD BE THE OTHER 

2846
01:38:31,939 --> 01:38:32,940
APPROACH. AND THE SHORT ANSWER 

2847
01:38:32,940 --> 01:38:43,484
TO IT IS THAT WE HEAR YES, YES 

2848
01:38:43,651 --> 01:38:44,618
AND. BOTH OF THOSE STRATEGIES 

2849
01:38:44,618 --> 01:38:46,053
CAN WORK, AND I THINK IT IS 

2850
01:38:46,053 --> 01:38:47,187
GOING TO DEPEND ON THE PROVIDER.

2851
01:38:47,321 --> 01:38:49,023
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT, 

2852
01:38:49,023 --> 01:38:51,425
AND THANK YOU , REALLY BRIEFLY 

2853
01:38:51,425 --> 01:38:52,526
AS I CONCLUDE, I'M SO PROUD TO 

2854
01:38:52,526 --> 01:38:53,527
GET TO SPONSOR THIS LEGISLATION,

2855
01:38:53,527 --> 01:38:54,995
AND IN PART BECAUSE I WANT TO 

2856
01:38:54,995 --> 01:38:56,430
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE WORKING TO

2857
01:38:56,430 --> 01:38:57,631
DO THIS, I HAVE SAID THIS 

2858
01:38:57,631 --> 01:38:59,066
BEFORE, THAT WE ARE DOING IT AND

2859
01:38:59,066 --> 01:39:06,573
WE ARE DOING IT WELL, AND WELL 

2860
01:39:06,573 --> 01:39:08,108
FOR ME MEANS IT WORKS WELL FOR 

2861
01:39:08,108 --> 01:39:09,043
THE FOLKS THAT ARE IN THE 

2862
01:39:09,043 --> 01:39:10,244
COMMUNITY, AND I THINK WE WANT 

2863
01:39:10,244 --> 01:39:11,512
TO GIVE THAT LEVEL OF ATTENTION 

2864
01:39:11,512 --> 01:39:12,713
AND DETAIL THERE, AS WELL AS 

2865
01:39:12,713 --> 01:39:13,547
THIS COMPONENT AROUND MAKING 

2866
01:39:13,547 --> 01:39:14,782
SURE THAT WE ARE MANAGING AND 

2867
01:39:14,782 --> 01:39:15,215
COLLABORATING WITH 

2868
01:39:15,215 --> 01:39:16,016
NEIGHBORHOODS, SO WE CAN 

2869
01:39:16,016 --> 01:39:17,184
CONTINUE TO SCALE UP, BECAUSE WE

2870
01:39:17,184 --> 01:39:18,485
SO DESPERATELY NEED TO, SO I 

2871
01:39:18,485 --> 01:39:19,620
APPRECIATE THE CANDOR AND THE 

2872
01:39:19,620 --> 01:39:20,454
RESPONSES TO THOSE QUESTIONS, 

2873
01:39:20,454 --> 01:39:21,956
AND I KNOW THAT WE WILL GET INTO

2874
01:39:21,956 --> 01:39:23,223
THOSE DETAILS MORE IN THE IDT. 

2875
01:39:23,223 --> 01:39:23,557
THANK YOU. 

2876
01:39:23,557 --> 01:39:25,025
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

2877
01:39:25,025 --> 01:39:26,193
FOSTER. THANK YOU, COLLEAGUES. 

2878
01:39:26,193 --> 01:39:27,494
WE ARE RUNNING A LITTLE BIT 

2879
01:39:27,494 --> 01:39:29,296
SHORT ON TIME. HOPING THAT WE 

2880
01:39:29,296 --> 01:39:35,469
CAN GO PAST 1130. WE DO HAVE AN 

2881
01:39:35,469 --> 01:39:36,103
ADDITIONAL PRESENTATION FROM 

2882
01:39:36,103 --> 01:39:37,371
COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF, I'M 

2883
01:39:37,371 --> 01:39:43,644
HOPING THAT THAT ONE CAN BE 

2884
01:39:43,644 --> 01:39:44,845
PRETTY BRIEF. I KNOW MOST OF OUR

2885
01:39:44,845 --> 01:39:45,579
QUESTIONS WILL BE TARGETED 

2886
01:39:45,579 --> 01:39:47,448
TOWARDS THE MAYORS OFFICE BUT I 

2887
01:39:47,448 --> 01:39:48,882
DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THEN 

2888
01:39:48,882 --> 01:39:50,217
WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT 

2889
01:39:50,217 --> 01:39:51,185
PRESENTATION, THEN WE WILL 

2890
01:39:51,185 --> 01:39:53,120
FOLLOW UP WITH THE NEXT 

2891
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:53,954
LEGISLATION. REALLY, REALLY 

2892
01:39:53,954 --> 01:39:55,255
APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK 

2893
01:39:55,255 --> 01:39:58,325
THAT HAS GONE INTO THIS, I 

2894
01:39:58,325 --> 01:39:59,326
REALLY APPRECIATE THE MAYORS 

2895
01:39:59,326 --> 01:40:03,564
OFFICE, REALLY BEING WILLING TO 

2896
01:40:03,564 --> 01:40:04,932
TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE. I 

2897
01:40:04,932 --> 01:40:06,300
THINK FOR TOO LONG, WE HAVE NOT 

2898
01:40:06,300 --> 01:40:11,805
-- WE HAVE EXTERNALIZED THIS ON 

2899
01:40:11,805 --> 01:40:13,307
TO OUR PROVIDERS, WE HAVE SORT 

2900
01:40:13,307 --> 01:40:15,609
OF POINTED IT AT COUNCIL VERSUS 

2901
01:40:15,609 --> 01:40:16,777
MAYOR VERSUS SOME OTHER AGENCY, 

2902
01:40:16,777 --> 01:40:20,914
AND TO ME, WE NEED TO BE TAKING 

2903
01:40:20,914 --> 01:40:22,383
A PROACTIVE ROLE IN SITING AND 

2904
01:40:22,383 --> 01:40:28,288
PERMIT AND IN OUR PUBLIC SAFETY 

2905
01:40:28,288 --> 01:40:29,156
RESPONSE. AND SO, I REALLY, 

2906
01:40:29,156 --> 01:40:30,791
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK 

2907
01:40:30,791 --> 01:40:34,695
WE ALL AGREE THAT WE NEED A 

2908
01:40:34,695 --> 01:40:35,729
ROBUST SERVICES, AND I THINK 

2909
01:40:35,729 --> 01:40:37,097
IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE 

2910
01:40:37,097 --> 01:40:44,938
THAT AMONG OUR UNHOUSED 

2911
01:40:44,938 --> 01:40:45,739
REGULATION, IT'S DIVERSE JUST 

2912
01:40:45,739 --> 01:40:46,673
LIKE OUR HOUSED POPULATION, 

2913
01:40:46,673 --> 01:40:47,608
THERE IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL

2914
01:40:47,608 --> 01:40:48,809
, AND WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT OUR

2915
01:40:48,809 --> 01:40:50,377
UNHOUSED POPULATION IS MORE 

2916
01:40:50,377 --> 01:40:52,446
LIKELY TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE 

2917
01:40:52,446 --> 01:40:53,280
DISABILITIES, TO OF MENTAL 

2918
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:54,448
HEALTH, TO HAVE A SUBSTANCE USE 

2919
01:40:54,448 --> 01:40:55,282
DISORDER, AND OTHER HIGHER 

2920
01:40:55,282 --> 01:40:56,817
NEEDS, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE 

2921
01:40:56,817 --> 01:40:57,818
THE SLIDE 10 ABOUT HOW 

2922
01:40:57,818 --> 01:41:02,089
VULNERABLE THIS POPULATION IS, 

2923
01:41:02,089 --> 01:41:03,257
AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY 

2924
01:41:03,257 --> 01:41:03,924
IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE, THAT 

2925
01:41:03,924 --> 01:41:05,359
THIS IS A VULNERABLE POPULATION 

2926
01:41:05,359 --> 01:41:10,931
THAT IS OFTENTIMES EXPLOITED AND

2927
01:41:10,931 --> 01:41:12,199
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, AND I THINK 

2928
01:41:12,199 --> 01:41:13,967
THAT'S, FOR ME, WHY IT IS SO 

2929
01:41:13,967 --> 01:41:18,472
CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE SERVICES 

2930
01:41:18,472 --> 01:41:19,807
AND SECURITY, AND THAT WE HAVE 

2931
01:41:19,807 --> 01:41:20,741
TINY HOME VILLAGES, BECAUSE I 

2932
01:41:20,741 --> 01:41:21,842
THINK OUR MOST VULNERABLE FOLKS 

2933
01:41:21,842 --> 01:41:22,943
ARE THE ONES THAT ARE IN 

2934
01:41:22,943 --> 01:41:23,911
UNSANCTIONED ENCAMPMENTS WHERE 

2935
01:41:23,911 --> 01:41:27,314
WE DON'T HAVE AN ABILITY TO 

2936
01:41:27,314 --> 01:41:28,749
PROVIDE SERVICES AND SECURITY. 

2937
01:41:28,749 --> 01:41:30,684
AND SO, I DO THINK IT'S SO 

2938
01:41:30,684 --> 01:41:32,219
CRITICAL THAT WE BE CAUTIOUS 

2939
01:41:32,219 --> 01:41:33,520
ABOUT UNSANCTIONED ENCAMPMENTS 

2940
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:36,056
NEAR OUR SANCTIONED ONES, 

2941
01:41:36,056 --> 01:41:37,391
BECAUSE OF THOSE PUBLIC SAFETY 

2942
01:41:37,391 --> 01:41:41,328
CONCERNS, ALSO BECAUSE I DON'T 

2943
01:41:41,328 --> 01:41:43,197
WANT FOLKS -- WE HAVE A LOT OF 

2944
01:41:43,197 --> 01:41:44,631
DIFFERENT PROVIDERS AND 

2945
01:41:44,631 --> 01:41:45,466
DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS THAT WE 

2946
01:41:45,466 --> 01:41:47,267
SERVE, BUT I THINK THERE IS A 

2947
01:41:47,267 --> 01:41:48,702
CONCERN THAT WHEN THERE IS AN 

2948
01:41:48,702 --> 01:41:51,171
UNSANCTIONED ENCAMPMENTS NEAR 

2949
01:41:51,171 --> 01:41:53,207
THE SANCTIONED ONE THAT IT CAN 

2950
01:41:53,207 --> 01:41:54,007
CERTIFIES AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT.

2951
01:41:54,007 --> 01:41:55,642
IT WILL ALSO CONFLATE THE TWO 

2952
01:41:55,642 --> 01:41:56,643
WITHIN THE PUBLIC'S MIND THAT 

2953
01:41:56,643 --> 01:41:58,145
SOMEHOW HIS ISSUES ARE REALLY 

2954
01:41:58,145 --> 01:42:01,648
POPPING UP THAT IT RELATES TO 

2955
01:42:01,648 --> 01:42:02,749
THE SANCTIONED ONE, AND SO, I 

2956
01:42:02,749 --> 01:42:04,251
WANT TO BE VERY MINDFUL OF THAT 

2957
01:42:04,251 --> 01:42:07,688
I ALSO JUST REALLY APPRECIATE 

2958
01:42:07,688 --> 01:42:08,689
THE CONVERSATION ABOUT SOME OF 

2959
01:42:08,689 --> 01:42:10,190
THE PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS. I'M NOT

2960
01:42:10,190 --> 01:42:13,460
SURE THAT I RECALL US HAVING 

2961
01:42:13,460 --> 01:42:14,394
SUCH A FRANK AND HONEST 

2962
01:42:14,394 --> 01:42:15,829
CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT AND I 

2963
01:42:15,829 --> 01:42:16,697
THINK THAT'S REALLY NECESSARY 

2964
01:42:16,697 --> 01:42:18,165
FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR US TO 

2965
01:42:18,165 --> 01:42:20,934
SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, SO, I 

2966
01:42:20,934 --> 01:42:22,636
APPRECIATE THAT. AND FINALLY, I 

2967
01:42:22,636 --> 01:42:26,073
JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I THINK 

2968
01:42:26,073 --> 01:42:27,608
YOU SEE A STRONG PARTNERSHIP 

2969
01:42:27,608 --> 01:42:29,610
COMING FROM COUNCIL. AND NOT 

2970
01:42:29,610 --> 01:42:33,981
ONLY INSERTED THE PERMITTING, 

2971
01:42:33,981 --> 01:42:37,251
BUT ALSO IN THE BUDGET, AT LEAST

2972
01:42:37,251 --> 01:42:38,852
IN MY MIND, WE ARE GOING TO NEED

2973
01:42:38,852 --> 01:42:42,956
TO FIND SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF 

2974
01:42:42,956 --> 01:42:43,957
RESOURCES, SO AT LEAST SPEAKING 

2975
01:42:43,957 --> 01:42:44,892
FOR MYSELF, I WANT TO DO 

2976
01:42:44,892 --> 01:42:46,159
EVERYTHING I CAN TO PARTNER WITH

2977
01:42:46,159 --> 01:42:47,327
YOU ALL ON FINDING THOSE 

2978
01:42:47,327 --> 01:42:49,796
RESOURCES. THANK YOU, MOVE ON TO

2979
01:42:49,796 --> 01:42:56,270
COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF. 

2980
01:42:56,270 --> 01:42:57,771
>> IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, I 

2981
01:42:57,771 --> 01:42:58,672
DON'T KNOW THAT WE NECESSARILY 

2982
01:42:58,672 --> 01:42:59,840
NEED TO GO INTO THE PRESENTATION

2983
01:42:59,840 --> 01:43:00,807
THAT WE ARE PREPARED TODAY. 

2984
01:43:00,807 --> 01:43:01,775
PRESENTATION REMINDS THE COUNCIL

2985
01:43:01,775 --> 01:43:03,210
AND THOSE WATCHING ABOUT ACTIONS

2986
01:43:03,210 --> 01:43:05,479
THAT TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY . TWO 

2987
01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:07,180
BILLS WERE PASSED, ONE [ 

2988
01:43:07,180 --> 01:43:14,454
INAUDIBLE ] . FOR LARGER SITES 

2989
01:43:14,454 --> 01:43:15,422
THAT COULD SERVE AS TRADITIONAL 

2990
01:43:15,422 --> 01:43:16,390
ENCAMPMENTS, AND THE OTHER, THE 

2991
01:43:16,390 --> 01:43:17,591
BUDGET BILL, WHICH [ INAUDIBLE ]

2992
01:43:17,591 --> 01:43:19,193
MANY OF WHICH WERE TALKED ABOUT 

2993
01:43:19,193 --> 01:43:25,933
TODAY. A LOT OF THOSE HAVING TO 

2994
01:43:25,933 --> 01:43:27,367
DO WITH [ INAUDIBLE ] SAFETY AND

2995
01:43:27,367 --> 01:43:27,935
COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS. AS 

2996
01:43:27,935 --> 01:43:28,569

ALONG WITH THE BUDGET BILL THAT 

3000
01:43:31,672 --> 01:43:32,973
WILL HELP INFORM COUNCIL 

3001
01:43:32,973 --> 01:43:33,574
DECISION-MAKING ABOUT ONGOING 

3002
01:43:33,574 --> 01:43:35,509
APPROPRIATIONS TO THE 

3003
01:43:35,509 --> 01:43:36,977
ENCAMPMENTS AS THEY ARE SET UP. 

3004
01:43:36,977 --> 01:43:38,912
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, 

3005

THAT IS NOT TOO LATE. WONDERFUL.

3073
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:56,750

OPPORTUNITIES LEGISLATION 

3088
01:46:44,064 --> 01:46:46,099
PROPOSAL THIS MORNING. I WILL 

3089
01:46:46,099 --> 01:46:50,537
GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW, AND JUST 

3090
01:46:50,537 --> 01:46:51,972
WANT TO NOTE AT THE TOP THAT 

3091
01:46:51,972 --> 01:46:53,507
WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE TODAY 

3092
01:46:53,507 --> 01:46:56,276
IS AN EXPRESSION OF MAYOR 

3093
01:46:56,276 --> 01:46:56,910
WILSON'S VALUES, AND 

3094
01:46:56,910 --> 01:46:58,345
SPECIFICALLY ONE THAT SHE IS 

3095
01:46:58,345 --> 01:47:02,182
COMMUNICATING ABOUT PROVIDING 

3096
01:47:02,182 --> 01:47:03,517
AFFORDABLE, ABUNDANT HOUSING AND

3097
01:47:03,517 --> 01:47:08,221
THRIVING NEIGHBORHOODS, SO, AN 

3098
01:47:08,221 --> 01:47:09,422
ALL OF THE ABOVE TYPE HOUSING. 

3099
01:47:09,422 --> 01:47:10,757
THE STRATEGY IS VERY IMPORTANT 

3100
01:47:10,757 --> 01:47:11,925
TO THIS, MAYOR, AND CONTINUING 

3101
01:47:11,925 --> 01:47:12,959
WITH HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES AT 

3102
01:47:12,959 --> 01:47:16,696
EVERY INCOME LEVEL. SO, THE 

3103
01:47:16,696 --> 01:47:19,332
PURPOSE OF THIS LEGISLATION IS 

3104
01:47:19,332 --> 01:47:24,638
TO MAKE SOME FOCUSED CHANGES TO 

3105
01:47:24,638 --> 01:47:28,275
THE CITY'S LAND USE CODE AND 

3106
01:47:28,275 --> 01:47:29,476
ZONING THAT CAN SUPPORT 

3107
01:47:29,476 --> 01:47:30,777
ADDITIONAL HOUSING SUPPLY. THESE

3108
01:47:30,777 --> 01:47:31,978
CHANGES ARE FOCUSED ON HOUSING 

3109
01:47:31,978 --> 01:47:35,715
PRODUCTION ON OPPORTUNITY SITES,

3110
01:47:35,715 --> 01:47:38,351
AND IN AREAS THAT ARE WELL 

3111
01:47:38,351 --> 01:47:40,654
SERVED -- OR WELL-POSITIONED FOR

3112
01:47:40,654 --> 01:47:41,521
NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT 

3113
01:47:41,521 --> 01:47:42,589
CAUSING DISPLACEMENT PRESSURE. 

3114
01:47:42,589 --> 01:47:43,523
AND THESE CHANGES CAN BE 

3115
01:47:43,523 --> 01:47:51,798
ADVANCED EVEN WHEN WE ARE 

3116
01:47:51,798 --> 01:47:57,637
WORKING ON PARALLEL. THAT LAST 

3117
01:47:57,637 --> 01:47:58,738
POINT ALSO IS CONSISTENT WITH 

3118
01:47:58,738 --> 01:47:59,840
ONE OF VALUES THAT MAYOR WILSON 

3119
01:47:59,840 --> 01:48:01,241
HAS EXPRESSED TO OUR OFFICE 

3120
01:48:01,241 --> 01:48:02,275
AROUND BEING INCLUSIVE AND 

3121
01:48:02,275 --> 01:48:05,879
ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT, SO IF WE

3122
01:48:05,879 --> 01:48:07,948
CAN DO SOMETHING SOON , MAKE A 

3123
01:48:07,948 --> 01:48:09,216
SUPPORTIVE CHANGE FOR HOUSING 

3124
01:48:09,216 --> 01:48:13,520
NOW, SHE WANTS US TO MOVE THINGS

3125
01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:14,788
FAST, QUICKLY. 

3126
01:48:14,788 --> 01:48:16,022
>> THIS LEGISLATION HAS SEVEN 

3127
01:48:16,022 --> 01:48:17,724
COMPONENTS. IT IS A BUNDLE OF 

3128
01:48:17,724 --> 01:48:20,493
THINGS. I WILL GIVE QUICK 

3129
01:48:20,493 --> 01:48:25,165
OVERVIEW OF EACH OF THOSE. SO, 

3130
01:48:25,165 --> 01:48:26,566
THE LIST HERE IS -- SOME OF 

3131
01:48:26,566 --> 01:48:28,001
THESE ARE ZONING CHANGES ON THE 

3132
01:48:28,001 --> 01:48:29,870
MAP, OTHERS ARE CHANGES TO THE 

3133
01:48:29,870 --> 01:48:31,104
LAND-USE CODE, SO THERE IS A 

3134
01:48:31,104 --> 01:48:32,772
REASON ZONE IN THE FREMONT STONE

3135
01:48:32,772 --> 01:48:39,512
WAY AREA. THERE IS A REAL ZONE 

3136
01:48:39,512 --> 01:48:41,014
IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. THERE ARE 

3137
01:48:41,014 --> 01:48:47,020
A FEW REZONES ON COMMUNITY SITES

3138
01:48:47,020 --> 01:48:48,288
LIKE YMCA SITES FOR EXAMPLE, WE 

3139
01:48:48,288 --> 01:48:50,457
WILL TALK ABOUT THAT. WE WILL 

3140
01:48:50,457 --> 01:48:55,395
REMOVE BARRIERS TO MODULAR AND 

3141
01:48:55,395 --> 01:48:56,196
MASS TIMBER CONSTRUCTION, AND 

3142
01:48:56,196 --> 01:48:57,564
THIS WOULD IMPLEMENT DIRECTION 

3143
01:48:57,564 --> 01:48:59,799
FROM THE STATE IN HOUSE BILL 

3144
01:48:59,799 --> 01:49:03,970
1193 EARLY. THIS PROPOSAL WOULD 

3145
01:49:03,970 --> 01:49:05,739
ALSO INCREASE HEIGHT LIMITS TO 

3146
01:49:05,739 --> 01:49:06,673
ENCOURAGE MORE HOUSING IN 

3147
01:49:06,673 --> 01:49:11,711
BELLTOWN WHERE OUR PLANNING HAS 

3148
01:49:11,711 --> 01:49:12,746
SUGGESTED THAT AS A NEIGHBORHOOD

3149
01:49:12,746 --> 01:49:16,516
THAT IS READY FOR MORE HOUSING. 

3150
01:49:16,516 --> 01:49:18,285
WE WOULD ALSO REMOVE CODE 

3151
01:49:18,285 --> 01:49:19,219
BARRIERS TO CONVERSION FROM 

3152
01:49:19,219 --> 01:49:20,287
COMMERCIAL TO HOUSING IN MORE 

3153
01:49:20,287 --> 01:49:23,423
ZONES. AND THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES

3154
01:49:23,423 --> 01:49:27,294
AN INCENTIVE FOR A NEW GROCERY 

3155
01:49:27,294 --> 01:49:28,695
STORE IN LAKE CITY SHOULD THERE 

3156
01:49:28,695 --> 01:49:32,565
BE DEVELOPMENT THERE. SO, THAT 

3157
01:49:32,565 --> 01:49:34,067
IS THE LIST, I'M JUST GOING TO 

3158
01:49:34,067 --> 01:49:35,402
GIVE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF EACH OF

3159
01:49:35,402 --> 01:49:36,703
THOSE ITEMS FOR YOU. SO, THE 

3160
01:49:36,703 --> 01:49:38,104
FIRST ONE HERE IS THE REZONE IN 

3161
01:49:38,104 --> 01:49:40,840
FREMONT STONE WAY AREA. IT IS AT

3162
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:42,542
THE BASE OF STONE WAY, AND IT IS

3163
01:49:42,542 --> 01:49:46,179
CENTERED AROUND THE CAMPUS LAKE 

3164
01:49:46,179 --> 01:49:47,213
ENVIRONMENT WHERE THERE IS A 

3165
01:49:47,213 --> 01:49:50,050
BROOKS SPORTS HEADQUARTERS AND 

3166
01:49:50,050 --> 01:49:54,654
THE EVO COMPANY. AND THEY ARE 

3167
01:49:54,654 --> 01:49:59,426
ABOUT 1000 OR SO EMPLOYEES AND A

3168
01:49:59,426 --> 01:50:00,694
RANGE OF WELL-PAYING JOBS, AND 

3169
01:50:00,694 --> 01:50:02,295
FOLKS IN THIS AREA WANT TO ADD 

3170
01:50:02,295 --> 01:50:08,001
HOUSING NEAR THOSE EMPLOYERS. 

3171
01:50:08,001 --> 01:50:09,102
THIS WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO 

3172
01:50:09,102 --> 01:50:10,537
THE ZONES THAT ARE JUST NORTH OF

3173
01:50:10,537 --> 01:50:13,039
THIS AREA ALONG STONE WAY WITH A

3174
01:50:13,039 --> 01:50:14,474
SIMILAR HEIGHT LIMIT AND DENSITY

3175
01:50:14,474 --> 01:50:17,277
TO THAT. AND WE HAVE DISCUSSED 

3176
01:50:17,277 --> 01:50:23,516
WITH PARTNERS AT THE PORT AND 

3177
01:50:23,516 --> 01:50:24,718
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, THIS AREA IS

3178
01:50:24,718 --> 01:50:27,954
NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURING 

3179
01:50:27,954 --> 01:50:28,989
INDUSTRIAL CENTER, IT IS WITHIN 

3180
01:50:28,989 --> 01:50:30,023
THE FREMONT RIVER VILLAGE, AND 

3181
01:50:30,023 --> 01:50:32,392
THERE ARE NO CONCERNS THERE. 

3182
01:50:32,392 --> 01:50:35,128
MOVING FORWARD, THE NEXT 

3183
01:50:35,128 --> 01:50:39,199
PROPOSAL FOR A REZONE IS IN 

3184
01:50:39,199 --> 01:50:40,700
DOWNTOWN RETAIL CORE AREA, THIS 

3185
01:50:40,700 --> 01:50:42,802
IS A LONG UNION STREET NEAR 

3186
01:50:42,802 --> 01:50:46,806
FOURTH AVENUE. THIS EXTENDS A 

3187
01:50:46,806 --> 01:50:48,308
REAL ZONE THAT THE COUNCIL DID 

3188
01:50:48,308 --> 01:50:55,415
IN 2023, AND IT IS A CHANGE FROM

3189
01:50:55,415 --> 01:50:57,317
THE DOWNTOWN RETAIL CORE ZONE 

3190
01:50:57,317 --> 01:50:59,052
THAT HAS A HEIGHT LIMIT OF A 

3191
01:50:59,052 --> 01:51:02,389
MAXIMUM OF 170 TO THE DOWNTOWN 

3192
01:51:02,389 --> 01:51:03,690
MIXED COMMERCIAL ZONE THAT HAS A

3193
01:51:03,690 --> 01:51:06,292
HEIGHT LIMIT MAXIMUM OF 440 

3194
01:51:06,292 --> 01:51:08,228
FEET. IT WOULD DO TWO THINGS 

3195
01:51:08,228 --> 01:51:08,862
SIMULTANEOUSLY. ON REDEVELOPMENT

3196
01:51:08,862 --> 01:51:12,932
SITES LIKE THE SITE OF A VACANT 

3197
01:51:12,932 --> 01:51:14,601
FORMER CHASE BANK, IT COULD 

3198
01:51:14,601 --> 01:51:17,570
ALLOW A NEW TOWER LIKE HOUSING 

3199
01:51:17,570 --> 01:51:22,842
DEVELOPMENT. SO, INFILL WHERE 

3200
01:51:22,842 --> 01:51:23,309
IT'S APPROPRIATE. 

3201
01:51:23,309 --> 01:51:24,077
SIMULTANEOUSLY, IT WOULD 

3202
01:51:24,077 --> 01:51:25,745
INCENTIVIZE CONVERSION OF 

3203
01:51:25,745 --> 01:51:29,249
HISTORIC STRUCTURES FROM 

3204
01:51:29,249 --> 01:51:32,318
COMMERCIAL SPACE TO HOUSING, SO 

3205
01:51:32,318 --> 01:51:33,219
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THOSE 

3206
01:51:33,219 --> 01:51:34,554
TYPES OF BUILDINGS IN THIS AREA.

3207
01:51:34,554 --> 01:51:36,423
THAT WORKS BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER

3208
01:51:36,423 --> 01:51:39,325
HAS MORE TRANSFERRED [ INAUDIBLE

3209
01:51:39,325 --> 01:51:40,794
] THAT THEY CAN SELL TO HELP 

3210
01:51:40,794 --> 01:51:41,928
OFFSET THE COST OF THE 

3211
01:51:41,928 --> 01:51:45,398
CONVERSION, SO DO BOTH THINGS AT

3212
01:51:45,398 --> 01:51:52,072
ONCE. THE NEXT THREE ZONE IS IN 

3213
01:51:52,072 --> 01:51:53,273
THE RAINIER BEACH AREA, THIS IS 

3214
01:51:53,273 --> 01:51:54,507
VERY CLOSE TO THE RAINIER BEACH 

3215
01:51:54,507 --> 01:51:55,341
LIGHTHOUSE STATION. IT WOULD 

3216
01:51:55,341 --> 01:52:00,246
CHANGE THE HATCHED AREA FROM THE

3217
01:52:00,246 --> 01:52:03,917
SEATTLE MIXED RAINIER BEACH, 55 

3218
01:52:03,917 --> 01:52:06,252
HEIGHT LIMIT ZONE UP TO 125 FOOT

3219
01:52:06,252 --> 01:52:09,222
ZONE. THE VACANT PART OF THAT 

3220
01:52:09,222 --> 01:52:10,623
SITE THAT YOU SEE IN THE IMAGE 

3221
01:52:10,623 --> 01:52:12,258
IS OWNED BY [ INAUDIBLE ] 

3222
01:52:12,258 --> 01:52:16,129
HOUSING AND IS BEING LOOKED AT 

3223
01:52:16,129 --> 01:52:16,996
FOR AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING 

3224
01:52:16,996 --> 01:52:18,231
DEVELOPMENT. THIS WOULD ALLOW 

3225
01:52:18,231 --> 01:52:19,432
THAT DEVELOPMENT TO REALLY 

3226
01:52:19,432 --> 01:52:29,375
MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF HOUSING 

3227
01:52:29,375 --> 01:52:30,710
UNITS THAT COULD BE IN IT, AND 

3228
01:52:30,710 --> 01:52:31,678
THIS IS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE 

3229
01:52:31,678 --> 01:52:33,179
OF THE LIGHT RAIL STATION, SO IT

3230
01:52:33,179 --> 01:52:34,481
IS A GOOD LOCATION THE NEXT 

3231
01:52:34,481 --> 01:52:35,849
OPPORTUNITY SITE HERE IS IN THE 

3232
01:52:35,849 --> 01:52:38,451
U DISTRICT. THIS IS ON THE SITE 

3233
01:52:38,451 --> 01:52:40,720
OF THE UNIVERSITY FAMILY YMCA, 

3234
01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:45,291
AND SOME ADJACENT PROPERTIES. 

3235
01:52:45,291 --> 01:52:46,960
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A FEW SITES

3236
01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:48,261
LIKE THIS, SO, LAST YEAR, THE 

3237
01:52:48,261 --> 01:52:50,396
COUNCIL DID SOMETHING REALLY 

3238
01:52:50,396 --> 01:52:56,269
COOL, WHICH WAS TO ENCOURAGE 

3239
01:52:56,269 --> 01:52:57,270
REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LAKE CITY 

3240
01:52:57,270 --> 01:52:58,404
COMMUNITY CENTER SITE WITH 

3241
01:52:58,404 --> 01:53:00,440
HOUSING ABOVE, SO YOU CAN HAVE A

3242
01:53:00,440 --> 01:53:01,508
COMMUNITY CENTER TYPE FACILITY 

3243
01:53:01,508 --> 01:53:03,409
WITH FLOORS OF HOUSING ABOVE 

3244
01:53:03,409 --> 01:53:08,081
THAT. AND WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT

3245
01:53:08,081 --> 01:53:09,182
IN A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES, 

3246
01:53:09,182 --> 01:53:13,820
INCLUDING THIS ONE, SO YMCA IS 

3247
01:53:13,820 --> 01:53:15,054
AN AGING FACILITY, IT MAY NEED 

3248
01:53:15,054 --> 01:53:16,389
TO BE UPGRADED OR REPLACED SOON.

3249
01:53:16,389 --> 01:53:17,357
THEY APPROACHED THE CITY AND 

3250
01:53:17,357 --> 01:53:18,525
SAID, HEY, CAN WE LOOK AT 

3251
01:53:18,525 --> 01:53:19,792
REDEVELOPMENT FOR A SITE WITH A 

3252
01:53:19,792 --> 01:53:20,827
WHOLE BUNCH OF HOUSING ABOVE, 

3253
01:53:20,827 --> 01:53:22,028
AND THIS WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT, 

3254
01:53:22,028 --> 01:53:23,263
IT WOULD INCREASE THE ZONING 

3255
01:53:23,263 --> 01:53:29,903
FROM A MIDRISE TYPE ZONE TO A 

3256
01:53:29,903 --> 01:53:33,439
TOWER TYPE ZONE AT 240 FEET OF 

3257
01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:34,574
HEIGHT, SIMILAR TO OTHER TOWERS 

3258
01:53:34,574 --> 01:53:36,910
THAT HAVE RECENTLY BEEN BUILT IN

3259
01:53:36,910 --> 01:53:45,251
THE U DISTRICT. THE NEXT REZONE 

3260
01:53:45,251 --> 01:53:46,553
AREA IS SIMILAR TO THE LAST ONE,

3261
01:53:46,553 --> 01:53:47,754
BUT IT IS IN THE MADISON/MILLER 

3262
01:53:47,754 --> 01:53:52,492
NEIGHBORHOOD. IT ALSO INCLUDES 

3263
01:53:52,492 --> 01:53:53,226
THE MEREDITH MATTHEWS EAST 

3264
01:53:53,226 --> 01:53:55,395
MADISON YMCA SITE, SO A SIMILAR 

3265
01:53:55,395 --> 01:53:56,329
STORY HERE, BUT THE REZONE WOULD

3266
01:53:56,329 --> 01:53:58,765
BE FROM A LOWRISE  TO ZONE TO 

3267
01:53:58,765 --> 01:53:59,766
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONE 

3268
01:53:59,766 --> 01:54:01,701
WITH A 75 FOOT HEIGHT LIMIT, 

3269
01:54:01,701 --> 01:54:04,904
THAT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO ZONING 

3270
01:54:04,904 --> 01:54:06,439
IN THE VICINITY AND IT WOULD 

3271
01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:09,576
ALLOW THAT YMCA TO DEVELOP WITH 

3272
01:54:09,576 --> 01:54:10,443
A MIXED-USE BUILDING, SHOULD 

3273
01:54:10,443 --> 01:54:15,849
THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO. THE NEXT 

3274
01:54:15,849 --> 01:54:16,883
REZONE PROPOSAL IS IN THE 

3275
01:54:16,883 --> 01:54:17,850
BELLTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD, AND  

3276
01:54:17,850 --> 01:54:19,686
THROUGH DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD 

3277
01:54:19,686 --> 01:54:22,655
PLANNING, IT CAME TO OUR 

3278
01:54:22,655 --> 01:54:25,892
ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A GREAT 

3279
01:54:25,892 --> 01:54:30,697
PLACE FOR ADDING MORE HOUSING . 

3280
01:54:30,697 --> 01:54:31,764
THE CITY AND ITS PARTNERS ARE 

3281
01:54:31,764 --> 01:54:32,966
MAKING A LOT OF INVESTMENTS IN 

3282
01:54:32,966 --> 01:54:35,235
PUBLIC SPACES IN THIS AREA, AND 

3283
01:54:35,235 --> 01:54:36,469
THE ZONING HAS NOT CHANGED IN 

3284
01:54:36,469 --> 01:54:39,505
BELLTOWN FOR A VERY LONG TIME, 

3285
01:54:39,505 --> 01:54:41,274
SO IT IS MUCH LOWER THAN OTHER 

3286
01:54:41,274 --> 01:54:41,941
PARTS OF DOWNTOWN. THIS PROPOSAL

3287
01:54:41,941 --> 01:54:43,076
WOULD BE A LIMITED TIME 

3288
01:54:43,076 --> 01:54:45,612
OPPORTUNITY UNTIL WE CAN MAKE 

3289
01:54:45,612 --> 01:54:49,249
PERMANENT ZONING CHANGES IN 

3290
01:54:49,249 --> 01:54:49,916
GREATER DOWNTOWN. IT WOULD ALLOW

3291
01:54:49,916 --> 01:54:52,785
AN ADDITIONAL 50 FEET OF HEIGHT 

3292
01:54:52,785 --> 01:54:54,821
IN 95 FOOT ZONES AND AN 

3293
01:54:54,821 --> 01:54:56,055
ADDITIONAL 100 FEET OF HEIGHT IN

3294
01:54:56,055 --> 01:54:57,924
100 85 FEET ZONES TO ENCOURAGE 

3295
01:54:57,924 --> 01:55:06,199
INFILL HOUSING SITES THAT COULD 

3296
01:55:06,199 --> 01:55:07,467
BE READY TO BUILD. SO, THERE ARE

3297
01:55:07,467 --> 01:55:08,468
SOME VACANT PROPERTIES THAT ARE 

3298
01:55:08,468 --> 01:55:10,370
READY TO GO THERE THAT COULD BE 

3299
01:55:10,370 --> 01:55:13,606
HELPED BY THIS. THE NEXT ITEM IS

3300
01:55:13,606 --> 01:55:19,279
REMOVING BARRIERS TO MODULAR AND

3301
01:55:19,279 --> 01:55:20,113
MASS TIMBER CONSTRUCTION. THIS 

3302
01:55:20,113 --> 01:55:20,880
IMPLEMENTS STATE LEGISLATION, 

3303
01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:22,882
AND SO, IF A PROJECT IS ONE OF 

3304
01:55:22,882 --> 01:55:25,618
THOSE BULLETED ITEMS, INCLUDING 

3305
01:55:25,618 --> 01:55:27,620
BUILDS OF MASS TIMBER, I WILL 

3306
01:55:27,620 --> 01:55:30,490
JUST FOCUS ON THAT ONE, THERE 

3307
01:55:30,490 --> 01:55:34,594
WOULD BE A WAIVER OF UPPER-LEVEL

3308
01:55:34,594 --> 01:55:35,628
, SOME MODULATION, AND 

3309
01:55:35,628 --> 01:55:36,996
UPPER-LEVEL [ INAUDIBLE ]. WHEN 

3310
01:55:36,996 --> 01:55:39,399
YOU BUILD WITH MASS TIMBER, IT 

3311
01:55:39,399 --> 01:55:44,837
IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. SO, THIS

3312
01:55:44,837 --> 01:55:46,039
WOULD ALLOW FOR MASS TIMBER TO 

3313
01:55:46,039 --> 01:55:47,407
KIND OF BUILD IN A RECTANGULAR 

3314
01:55:47,407 --> 01:55:48,441
FORM AND SUPPORT THAT 

3315
01:55:48,441 --> 01:55:50,576
CONSTRUCTION METHOD. THE NEXT 

3316
01:55:50,576 --> 01:55:56,716
ITEM FOCUSES IN LAKE CITY, AND 

3317
01:55:56,716 --> 01:55:58,751
THIS WOULD BE AN INCENTIVE THAT 

3318
01:55:58,751 --> 01:56:02,588
ON A VERY LARGE SITE LIKE THE 

3319
01:56:02,588 --> 01:56:05,224
FORMER FRED MEYER SITE, IF THE 

3320
01:56:05,224 --> 01:56:11,965
NEW BUILDING INCLUDES ANY 

3321
01:56:11,965 --> 01:56:12,598
COMBINATION OF GROCERY STORES, 

3322
01:56:12,598 --> 01:56:13,900
PHARMACY, AND OTHER SERVICES, ET

3323
01:56:13,900 --> 01:56:16,069
CETERA, IT COULD HAVE A HEIGHT 

3324
01:56:16,069 --> 01:56:17,937
LIMIT INCREASE OF 55 FEET TO 85 

3325
01:56:17,937 --> 01:56:19,372
EIGHT, AND INCLUDING AT LEAST 

3326
01:56:19,372 --> 01:56:28,214
200 UNITS , THAT WOULD ALSO BE A

3327
01:56:28,214 --> 01:56:28,915
PREREQUISITE FOR THAT INCENTIVE.

3328
01:56:28,915 --> 01:56:30,283
IT IS BASICALLY SAYING THAT SITE

3329
01:56:30,283 --> 01:56:31,551
OR SIMILAR SITES ARE GOING TO BE

3330
01:56:31,551 --> 01:56:32,352
DEVELOPED IN LAKE CITY, 

3331
01:56:32,352 --> 01:56:33,586
WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF WE 

3332
01:56:33,586 --> 01:56:34,587
COULD HAVE A NEW COMMERCIAL 

3333
01:56:34,587 --> 01:56:36,055
STORE IN IT? JUST A FEW IMAGES 

3334
01:56:36,055 --> 01:56:39,993
TO CLOSE US OUT HERE. OB CD IS 

3335
01:56:39,993 --> 01:56:40,960
VERY EXCITED ABOUT MASS TIMBER 

3336
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:42,295
CONSTRUCTION AND SOME OF THE 

3337
01:56:42,295 --> 01:56:43,262
CHANGES THE PACKAGE WOULD 

3338
01:56:43,262 --> 01:56:46,566
SUPPORT . THIS TYPE OF BUILDING,

3339
01:56:46,566 --> 01:56:49,902
THIS IS A PROPOSAL FOR A SITE 

3340
01:56:49,902 --> 01:56:51,337
THAT IS IN EARLY PERMITTING IN 

3341
01:56:51,337 --> 01:56:54,774
SEATTLE. IT HAS 12 STORIES OF 

3342
01:56:54,774 --> 01:56:57,176
MASS TIMBER OVER A CONCRETE AND 

3343
01:56:57,176 --> 01:57:01,481
STEEL BASE. OTHER CHANGES TO THE

3344
01:57:01,481 --> 01:57:07,086
CONSTRUCTION CODES ARE 

3345
01:57:07,086 --> 01:57:08,087
FACILITATING THIS TYPE OF 

3346
01:57:08,087 --> 01:57:08,921
BUILDING, AND WE ARE EXCITED 

3347
01:57:08,921 --> 01:57:10,156
ABOUT THE FUTURE, THAT WE COULD 

3348
01:57:10,156 --> 01:57:11,157
SEE MORE KIND OF INTERMEDIATE 

3349
01:57:11,157 --> 01:57:12,158
SCALE TOWERS THAT ARE VERY 

3350
01:57:12,158 --> 01:57:14,360
LIVABLE WITH BIG WINDOWS AND 

3351
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:15,194
PERSONAL HOUSING. SO, THE 

3352
01:57:15,194 --> 01:57:18,364
CHANGES YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU 

3353
01:57:18,364 --> 01:57:19,632
ENCOURAGE MORE MASS TIMBER TYPE 

3354
01:57:19,632 --> 01:57:20,733
CONSTRUCTION IN THE FUTURE. THIS

3355
01:57:20,733 --> 01:57:24,804
IS AN IMAGE IN BELLTOWN WHERE 

3356
01:57:24,804 --> 01:57:35,281
THE ZONING TODAY THIS WOULD 

3357
01:57:37,250 --> 01:57:38,718
ALLOW A TOWER TYPE SCALE ON MORE

3358
01:57:38,718 --> 01:57:48,861
SITES. 

3359
01:57:50,997 --> 01:57:53,466
JUST WANT TO NOTE THIS 

3360
01:57:53,466 --> 01:57:55,501
PROPOSAL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 

3361
01:57:55,501 --> 01:57:59,439
BONUS ON LANDMARK SITES. 

3362
01:57:59,439 --> 01:58:00,473
SO LANDMARK SITES WOULD 

3363
01:58:00,473 --> 01:58:01,941
CONTINUE TO BE PROTECTED. 

3364
01:58:01,941 --> 01:58:04,243
IN THE LAST IMAGE, THIS IS 

3365
01:58:04,243 --> 01:58:04,977
AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY. 

3366
01:58:04,977 --> 01:58:06,879
THIS IS THE BASE OF STONE 

3367
01:58:06,879 --> 01:58:10,817
WAY AND THE BUILDING THAT IS 

3368
01:58:10,817 --> 01:58:11,017
NOTED 

3369
01:58:11,017 --> 01:58:14,420
HERE IS A PROPOSED 

3370
01:58:14,420 --> 01:58:15,822
INFILL HOUSING AND HOTEL THAT 

3371
01:58:15,822 --> 01:58:16,355
WOULD BE 

3372
01:58:16,355 --> 01:58:18,624
ADDED BASICALLY TO THE 

3373
01:58:18,624 --> 01:58:20,626
CAMPUS- LIKE SETTING NEAR 

3374
01:58:20,626 --> 01:58:22,795
THE BROOKS AND EVO HEADQUARTERS.

3375
01:58:22,795 --> 01:58:25,097
HOUSING IS NOT CURRENTLY ALLOWED

3376
01:58:25,097 --> 01:58:26,199
IN THAT ZONE. 

3377
01:58:26,199 --> 01:58:28,568
THIS PROPOSAL WOULD ALLOW 

3378
01:58:28,568 --> 01:58:33,039
HOUSING TO BE BUILT THERE. 

3379
01:58:33,039 --> 01:58:35,308
I'LL JUST FINISH OUT BY 

3380
01:58:35,308 --> 01:58:36,776
SAYING WE THINK THIS IS KIND OF 

3381
01:58:36,776 --> 01:58:36,909
A 

3382
01:58:36,909 --> 01:58:38,277
COMMON SENSE PACKAGE OF 

3383
01:58:38,277 --> 01:58:39,779
FOCUS CHANGED THAT CAN SUPPORT 

3384
01:58:39,779 --> 01:58:40,746
HOUSING. 

3385
01:58:40,746 --> 01:58:50,923
HOUSING, 

3386
01:58:54,494 --> 01:58:54,694
WE'D 

3387
01:58:54,694 --> 01:58:56,629
LIKE TO LOOK AT HOUSING 

3388
01:58:56,629 --> 01:58:57,430
OPPORTUNITY PACKAGES AGAIN IN 

3389
01:58:57,430 --> 01:58:58,231
THE FUTURE. 

3390
01:58:58,231 --> 01:58:59,765
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 

3391
01:58:59,765 --> 01:59:01,834
I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF 

3392
01:59:01,834 --> 01:59:02,068
TIME. 

3393
01:59:02,068 --> 01:59:04,103
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER 

3394
01:59:04,103 --> 01:59:06,038
ANY QUESTIONS NOW OR OFFLINE. 

3395
01:59:06,038 --> 01:59:06,806
THANK YOU. 

3396
01:59:06,939 --> 01:59:09,775

3410
01:59:28,961 --> 01:59:29,195

WE BELIEVE THESE 

3421
01:59:49,916 --> 01:59:51,017
ARE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE, YOU 

3422
01:59:51,017 --> 01:59:54,020

3423
01:59:54,020 --> 01:59:54,287
BUILDERS 

3424
01:59:54,287 --> 01:59:58,991
OR COMMUNITY PARTNERS CAME 

3425
01:59:58,991 --> 02:00:02,428
FORWARD AND -- IF THE CITY MADE 

3426
02:00:02,428 --> 02:00:02,895
SOME 

3427
02:00:02,895 --> 02:00:08,601
CHANGES IN THE RELATIVELY NEAR 

3428
02:00:08,601 --> 02:00:17,009
TERM. 

3429
02:00:17,143 --> 02:00:18,544
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. 

3430
02:00:18,544 --> 02:00:19,212
THAT WAS 

3431
02:00:19,212 --> 02:00:19,445
IT. 

3432
02:00:19,445 --> 02:00:20,279
>> THANK YOU. 

3433
02:00:20,279 --> 02:00:23,482
MOVING ONTO -- I LOST MY SCREEN

02:00:23,482 --> 02:00:23,716
HERE. 

3435
02:00:23,716 --> 02:00:26,185
COUNCIL MEMBER FOSTER. 

3436
02:00:26,319 --> 02:00:31,224
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR. 

3437
02:00:31,224 --> 02:00:33,759
I WANTED TO TURN QUICKLY TO 

3438
02:00:33,759 --> 02:00:39,065
THE LAKE CITY GROCERY STORE 

3439
02:00:39,065 --> 02:00:42,969
INCENTIVIZE 

3440
02:00:42,969 --> 02:00:43,402
INCENTIVIZIZATION. 

3441
02:00:43,402 --> 02:00:46,505
THERE WAS ANOTHER GROCERY STORE 

3442
02:00:46,505 --> 02:00:48,874
THAT COULD HAVE SITED IN THE 

3443
02:00:48,874 --> 02:00:49,375
COMMUNITY. 

3444
02:00:49,375 --> 02:00:51,410
THIS INSENT VIIZATION 

3445
02:00:51,410 --> 02:00:53,412
THAT'S COVERED HERE ALLOWED 

3446
02:00:53,412 --> 02:00:54,513
AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL BONUSES 

3447
02:00:54,513 --> 02:00:55,982
IF THERE'S A GROCERY STORE 

3448
02:00:55,982 --> 02:00:57,483
THAT ALSO PROVIDES HOUSING. 

3449
02:00:57,483 --> 02:00:59,051
BUT IT DOES NOT ADDRESS 

3450
02:00:59,051 --> 02:01:00,319
THE RECENT SORT OF DECISION 

3451
02:01:00,319 --> 02:01:02,321
THAT CAME THROUGH, IS THAT 

3452
02:01:02,321 --> 02:01:02,588
CORRECT? 

3453
02:01:02,722 --> 02:01:03,289
>> THAT IS CORRECT. 

3454
02:01:03,289 --> 02:01:13,866
IT'S UNRELATED TO THAT ISSUE. 

3455
02:01:25,011 --> 02:01:29,148
>> THE STEEP DROPOFFS IN 

3456
02:01:29,148 --> 02:01:29,448
PERMITS. 

3457
02:01:29,448 --> 02:01:32,018
WE HAVE OVER A THOUSAND 

3458
02:01:32,018 --> 02:01:33,619
UNEMPLOYED ELECTRICIANS READY 

3459
02:01:33,619 --> 02:01:34,020
TO WORK. 

3460
02:01:34,020 --> 02:01:35,488
WE KNOW WE'RE IN A 

3461
02:01:35,488 --> 02:01:36,522
HOUSING SHORTAGE WITH A REAL 

3462
02:01:36,522 --> 02:01:36,789
NEED 

3463
02:01:36,789 --> 02:01:38,824
FOR MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING 

3464
02:01:38,824 --> 02:01:39,058
OPTIONS 

3465
02:01:39,058 --> 02:01:40,926
ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY SO 

3466
02:01:40,926 --> 02:01:42,561
THE FOLKS WHO BUILD THIS CITY 

3467
02:01:42,561 --> 02:01:42,728
AND 

3468
02:01:42,728 --> 02:01:46,766
MAKE IT RUN COULD AFFORD 

3469
02:01:46,766 --> 02:01:47,066
TO LIVE 

3470
02:01:47,066 --> 02:01:49,001
HERE. I WAS VERY EXCITED TO HAVE

3471
02:01:49,001 --> 02:01:51,537
THIS BILL COME BEFORE US, THESE 

3472
02:01:51,537 --> 02:01:53,239
ZONES FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY 

3473
02:01:53,239 --> 02:01:56,275
FRIENDLY ARE EXACTLY WHAT WE 

3474
02:01:56,275 --> 02:01:57,977
NEED TO KICK START JECTS 

3475
02:01:57,977 --> 02:02:00,179
WE KNOW ARE READY TO GET GOING. 

3476
02:02:00,179 --> 02:02:03,449
MY FIRST QUESTIONS IS RELATED TO

3477
02:02:03,449 --> 02:02:05,551
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION. 

3478
02:02:05,551 --> 02:02:06,719
THIS CURRENTLY SEEMS TO 

3479
02:02:06,719 --> 02:02:09,255
BE WRITTEN IN A WAY THAT COULD 

3480
02:02:09,255 --> 02:02:09,422
BE 

3481
02:02:09,422 --> 02:02:10,589
INTERPRETED PRETTY BROADLY. 

3482
02:02:10,589 --> 02:02:15,394
IT SAYS STANDARDIZED 

3483
02:02:15,394 --> 02:02:18,431
COMPONENTS ARE SSEMBLED AT 

3484
02:02:18,431 --> 02:02:19,131
ANOTHER 

3485
02:02:19,131 --> 02:02:19,432
LOCATION. 

3486
02:02:19,432 --> 02:02:21,167
WHAT GUARDRAILS ARE IN PLACE 

3487
02:02:21,167 --> 02:02:23,736
TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT APPLIED 

3488
02:02:23,736 --> 02:02:24,136
TO 

3489
02:02:24,136 --> 02:02:27,606
PRETTY MUCH EVERY PROJECT IN THE

3490
02:02:27,606 --> 02:02:30,209
CITY AND WE'RE MEETING 

3491
02:02:30,209 --> 02:02:31,143
OUR POLICY GOALS HERE? 

3492
02:02:31,277 --> 02:02:35,715
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER 

3493
02:02:35,715 --> 02:02:38,084
RINCK, FOR THE QUESTION. 

3494
02:02:38,084 --> 02:02:40,353
WE'RE OPEN TO CONTINUING TO 

3495
02:02:40,353 --> 02:02:43,355
IMPROVE THIS LEGISLATION 

3496
02:02:43,355 --> 02:02:45,458
AND ADDING WHATEVER UARDRAILS 

3497
02:02:45,458 --> 02:02:45,624
ARE 

3498
02:02:45,624 --> 02:02:46,092
NECESSARY. 

3499
02:02:46,092 --> 02:02:48,127
ONE THING THAT'S HELPFUL HERE 

3500
02:02:48,127 --> 02:02:49,795
IS THE STATE OF WASHINGTON HAS 

3501
02:02:49,795 --> 02:02:52,131
A PROGRAM FOR MODULAR 

3502
02:02:52,131 --> 02:02:52,465
CONSTRUCTION 

3503
02:02:52,465 --> 02:02:54,800
WHERE PROPOSED MODULAR 

3504
02:02:54,800 --> 02:02:58,704
BUILDINGS HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED 

3505
02:02:58,704 --> 02:03:00,773
BY THE 

3506
02:03:00,773 --> 02:03:02,274
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND 

3507
02:03:02,274 --> 02:03:03,342
INDUSTRIES, KIND OF 

3508
02:03:03,342 --> 02:03:03,976
INSPECTED OFF SITE. 

3509
02:03:03,976 --> 02:03:06,245
ANYTHING THAT'S MODULAR HAS TO 

3510
02:03:06,245 --> 02:03:07,513
GO THROUGH THAT. 

3511
02:03:07,513 --> 02:03:12,551
WE THINK THAT WOULD HELP 

3512
02:03:12,551 --> 02:03:15,054
PROTECT AGAINST UNINTENDED 

3513
02:03:15,054 --> 02:03:17,156
CONSEQUENCES, WHERE WE WOULD SAY

3514
02:03:17,156 --> 02:03:18,257
ONLY BUILDINGS THAT ARE GOING 

3515
02:03:18,257 --> 02:03:21,527
THROUGH THE STATE'S MODULAR 

3516
02:03:21,527 --> 02:03:21,761
PROGRAM 

3517
02:03:21,761 --> 02:03:22,728
WOULD BE ELIGIBLE. 

3518
02:03:22,728 --> 02:03:24,563
THAT COULD BE SOMETHING DONE 

3519
02:03:24,563 --> 02:03:26,232
BY INTERPRETATION OR IF IT 

3520
02:03:26,232 --> 02:03:28,467
NEEDS TO BE AMENDED INTO THIS 

3521
02:03:28,467 --> 02:03:32,705
PROPOSAL, WE WELCOME THAT. 

3522
02:03:32,838 --> 02:03:34,740
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. 

3523
02:03:34,740 --> 02:03:37,409
ON THE PASSIVE HOUSE DEFINITION,

3524
02:03:37,409 --> 02:03:38,811
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING 

3525
02:03:38,811 --> 02:03:40,146
WE'RE CURRENTLY LINKING OUR 

3526
02:03:40,146 --> 02:03:40,746
CODE TO 

3527
02:03:40,746 --> 02:03:44,884
A DEFINITION PROVIDED BY THE 

3528
02:03:44,884 --> 02:03:45,718
PASSIVE HOUSE INSTITUTE. 

3529
02:03:45,718 --> 02:03:49,622
CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT CURRENT 

3530
02:03:49,622 --> 02:03:49,955
DEFINITION? 

3531
02:03:49,955 --> 02:03:51,891
HAVE WE SEEN PASSIVE 

3532
02:03:51,891 --> 02:03:53,526
HOUSE DEFINITIONS CHANGE OVER 

3533
02:03:53,526 --> 02:03:53,692
THE 

3534
02:03:53,692 --> 02:03:53,926
YEARS? 

3535
02:03:53,926 --> 02:03:55,761
I'M THINKING ABOUT WHETHER 

3536
02:03:55,761 --> 02:03:56,862
THERE'S POTENTIAL BENEFIT 

3537
02:03:56,862 --> 02:03:58,164
FOR DEVELOPING OUR OWN 

3538
02:03:58,164 --> 02:03:58,931
DEFINITION 

3539
02:03:58,931 --> 02:04:02,635
OR TYING IT TO THIS ONE. 

3540
02:04:02,635 --> 02:04:05,971
CAN YOU EXPLAIN SOME OF 

3541
02:04:05,971 --> 02:04:06,539
THE RATIONALE 

3542
02:04:06,539 --> 02:04:06,772
THERE. 

3543
02:04:06,772 --> 02:04:08,574
>> I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON 

3544
02:04:08,574 --> 02:04:09,842
THE PASSIVE HOUSE TOPIC. 

3545
02:04:09,842 --> 02:04:11,510
WE TOOK THE 

3546
02:04:11,510 --> 02:04:12,978
LANGUAGE MORE OR LESS FROM THIS 

3547
02:04:12,978 --> 02:04:13,712
CITY BILL 

3548
02:04:13,712 --> 02:04:16,882
FROM WHAT WAS IN THE STATE HB 

3549
02:04:16,882 --> 02:04:17,116
1183. 

3550
02:04:17,116 --> 02:04:21,320
I SAW THE QUESTION FROM 

3551
02:04:21,320 --> 02:04:23,189
COUNCIL STAFF SUGGESTING WE 

3552
02:04:23,189 --> 02:04:23,489
MIGHT NEED 

3553
02:04:23,489 --> 02:04:28,527
TO BE CLEARER ABOUT WHAT COUNTS 

3554
02:04:28,527 --> 02:04:31,297
AS A PASSIVE HOUSE 

3555
02:04:31,297 --> 02:04:31,664
CERTIFICATION. 

3556
02:04:31,664 --> 02:04:35,000
YOU KNOW, WE'D WELCOME 

3557
02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:36,602
A CLARIFYING AMENDMENT THERE. 

3558
02:04:36,602 --> 02:04:39,505
SO THAT'S MY SHORT ANSWER. 

3559
02:04:39,505 --> 02:04:41,273
WE BORROWED THE STATE'S 

3560
02:04:41,273 --> 02:04:43,275
DEFINITION, AND THERE'S 

3561
02:04:43,275 --> 02:04:43,542
PROBABLY 

3562
02:04:43,542 --> 02:04:44,243
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. 

3563
02:04:44,376 --> 02:04:48,848
>> THAT'S GREAT TO UNDERSTAND. 

3564
02:04:48,848 --> 02:04:54,053
I KNOW PHIA HAS -- ARE WE 

3565
02:04:54,053 --> 02:04:55,154
THINKING ABOUT LINKING 

3566
02:04:55,154 --> 02:04:57,590
THIS BONUS TO THE LOWEST LEVEL 

3567
02:04:57,590 --> 02:04:57,756
OF 

3568
02:04:57,756 --> 02:04:59,191
CERTIFICATION OR ARE 

3569
02:04:59,191 --> 02:05:00,626
THERE DIFFERENCES BASED 

3570
02:05:00,626 --> 02:05:01,760
ON CERTIFICATION WE WANT TO 

3571
02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:05,297
CONSIDER? 

3572
02:05:05,431 --> 02:05:09,134
>> I THINK WE ERRED ON THE 

3573
02:05:09,134 --> 02:05:11,403
SIDE OF IF IT'S CERTIFIED, 

3574
02:05:11,403 --> 02:05:12,571
IT WOULD BE FOR THIS BONUS. 

3575
02:05:12,571 --> 02:05:14,607
THE PASSIVE HOUSE STANDARD IS 

3576
02:05:14,607 --> 02:05:15,841
A VERY HIGH 

3577
02:05:15,841 --> 02:05:16,408
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE 

3578
02:05:16,408 --> 02:05:16,909
STANDARD. 

3579
02:05:16,909 --> 02:05:18,444
SO WE FELT AS LONG AS IT WAS ONE

3580
02:05:18,444 --> 02:05:21,146
OF THE TIERS OF 

3581
02:05:21,146 --> 02:05:22,214
