I AM GLAD THAT WE HAVE\nTHE LAWS NOW, TO HOLD PEOPLE\nACCOUNTABLE, AND THAT WE CAN ALL\nSPEAK UP WHEN WE SEE THERE IS\nSOMETHING WRONG, BECAUSE WHEN I\nWAS GROWING UP, IF YOU SAID\nANYTHING, NOBODY EITHER BELIEVED\nYOU OR ASKED WHAT YOU WERE\nWEARING OR THAT YOU ASKED FOR\nIT, AND IT WENT UNADDRESSED,\nTHIS HAPPENED ACROSS COLLEGE\nCAMPUSES IN THIS COUNTRY AND\nHAPPENS STILL TODAY, AND IT IS\nNOT OKAY, AND WE NEED DO BETTER.\nSO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE\nRESOLUTION AS THE REMINDER THAT\nWE NEED TO CONTINUE TO DO\nBETTER, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

THIS MONTH\nIS A REMINDER THAT SEXUAL\nVIOLENCE IS NOT INEVITABLE, BUT\nPREVENTABLE. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR\nTHE COUNCIL'S LEADERSHIP AND\nPARTNERSHIP, AND WE APPRECIATE\nYOUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO\nMAKING SEATTLE A CITY WHERE ALL\nPEOPLE CAN LIVE, WORK, FREE FROM\nVIOLENCE. THANK YOU FOR STANDING\nWITH SURVIVORS AND HELPING\nASSURE AWARENESS LEADS TO\nMEANINGFUL ACTION.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nHI. MY NAME IS WHITNEY. I\nHAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING PART\nOF THE SEATTLE WOMEN'S\nCOMMISSION. WE ARE A DIVERSE\nGROUP WHO VOLUNTEER AS\nCOMMISSIONERS BECAUSE WE CARE\nDEEPLY ABOUT OUR COMMUNITIES AND\nLOVE OUR CITY. WE KNOW YOU DO\nTOO. THANK YOU, COUNCIL, FOR\nYOUR COMMITMENT TO MAKING\nSEATTLE A SAFE AND WELCOMING\nPLACE FOR EVERYBODY. THANK YOU\nFOR RECOGNIZING APRIL AS SEXUAL\nASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH.\nADDRESSING ISSUES OF SAFETY AND\nWELLBEING AS PRIORITY FOR THE\nCOMMISSION, OUR FOCUS AREAS AND\nWORK PLANS ARE LARGELY\nCONTINUATION OF WHAT COMMUNITY\nWAS ELEVATING OVER 50 YEARS AGO\nWHEN THE SEATTLE WOMEN'S\nCOMMISSION WAS FORMED. THIS IS\nINCLUDED ADVOCATEING FOR THE\nDEVELOPMENT OF A WOMAN'S\nSHELTER FOR SURVIVORS OF\nDOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE 70s,\nHISTORY OF STRONG COLLABORATION\nWITH HSD AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE\nON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL\nASSAULT TO RESPOND TO COMMUNITY\nCONCERNS AND UPLIFT COMMUNITY\nSOLUTIONS VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL\nCAMPAIGNS, PUBLIC EVENTS, AND\nCOMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO\nPROMOTE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION\nOF GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. THIS\nTOPIC CONTINUES TO BE A FOCUS\nFOR OUR COMMISSION, BECAUSE THE\nCRISIS REMAINS PERVASIVE AND\nURGENT. AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE\nSTATISTICS IN TODAY'S\nPROCLAMATION. THE IMPACTS OF\nGENDER-BASED VIOLENCE ARE FELT\nIN EVERY DISTRICT IN EVERY\nNEIGHBORHOOD, AND IN EVERY\nCOMMUNITY OF OUR CITY. THE\nSEATTLE WOMEN'S COMMISSION IS\nINTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH THE\nREALTY, OUR FRIENDS ARE\nSURVIVORS OF GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE. OUR COLLEAGUES ARE\nSURVIVORS OF GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE. THE FOLKS WE SUPPORT\nAND PAID AND UNPAID ROLES ARE\nSURVIVORS, AND WE, PAST AND\nCURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEATTLE\nWOMEN'S COMMISSION ARE\nSURVIVORS OF GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE. SEXUAL ASSAULT\nAWARENESS MONTH COMPELS US TO\nHAWNTHER COURAGE OF SURVIVORS\nAND TO BELIEVE THEM. TO BE\nCANDED ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OUR\nCOMMUNITIES ARE EXPERIENCING,\nAND TO RECOGNIZE AND TRUST THE\nCRITICAL WORK OF COMMUNITY\nORGANIZATIONS IN THIS SPACE. ARE\nREMINDS US TO COMMIT TO BUILDING\nA CITY WHERE WE WITH EXPERIENCE\nSAFETY. HEALING IS POSSIBLE AND\nSEXUAL VIOLENCE IS PREVENTABLE.\nWE ALL HAVE A ROLE IN BUILDING\nTHE SAFER ANTI-RACIST FUTURE\nTHAT WE NEED AND DESERT. THANK\nYOU TO THE ORGANIZATIONS,\nCOALITIONS, AND PROGRAMS,\nINCLUDING MANY HERE TODAY, WHO\nPROMOTE CULTURALLY REL VENT\nSUPPORT, HEALING, AND HOPE IN\nOUR REGION, AND THANK YOU TO THE\nCITY FOR INVESTING IN THE\nCRITICAL EFFORTS. WE NEED TO\nCONTINUE RESOURCEING THIS WORK,\nWE NEED TO INCREASE THE FUNDING\nAND SUPPORT FOR THIS WORK. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nI AM GOING OLD SCHOOL WITH: I AM GOING OLD SCHOOL WITH\nPAPER.\nGO RIGHT AHEAD: GO RIGHT AHEAD.\nHELLO, COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK\nYOU FOR HAVING US. MY NAME IS\nAMANDA, MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE/HER\nAND I AM A MEMBER OF RESIDENT OF\nDISTRICT ONE. I SERVE AS\nCO-CHAIR OF THE GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE SUBCOMMITTEE AT THE\nSEATTLE WOMEN'S COMMISSION. ON\nTHIS 25th ANNIVERSARY OF SEXUAL\nASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH, WE\nCONFRONT A DIFFICULT TRUTH, THAT\nSEXUAL VIOLENCE REMAINS\nPERVASIVE ACROSS SOCIOECONOMIC\nAND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS IN\nSEATTLE. COMMUNITY FEEDBACK\nINDICATES FAR TOO OFTEN\nSURVIVORS ARE ASKED TO NAVIGATE\nSYSTEMS THAT ARE NOT DESIGNATED\nAROUND THEIR DIGNITY, SAFETY, OR\nCULTURAL NEEDS. IN ADDITION TO\nTHE PROCLAMATION, WE ARE ASKING\nYOU TO TAKE A CONCRETE STEP\nFORWARD IN STRENGTHENING\nCONFIDENCHALITY AND SURVIVOR\nSAFETY IN CITY COUNCIL\nPROCESSES, SPECIFICALLY INSURE\nMATERIALS SUBMITTED FOR PUBLIC\nMEETINGS DO NOT EXPLOIT\nSURVIVORS FOR SHOCK VALUE OR\nUNINTENTIONALLY ENDANGER\nEXPERIENCES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT,\nDOMESTIC VIOLENCE, HUMAN\nTRAFFICKING, OR STOCKING.\nSENSITIVE INFORMATION PUBLISHED\nWITHOUT SAFEGUARDS OR CONSENT\nPUT SURVIVORS AT RISK OF\nIDENTIFICATION, RETRAUMATIZEATIO\nN, HARASSMENT, OR WORSE. WHILE\nWE MAY BE PRESENTING AND\nREPRESENTING WOMEN, THAT RISK\nCAN SILENCEAL VOICES WE NEED TO\nHEAR MOST REGARDLESS OF GENDER\nIDENTITY. TODAY, IN RECOGNITION\nOF SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS\nMONTH, OUR CALL TO ACTION IS\nSIMPLE, AMEND CITY COUNCIL\nMEETING RULES AND PROCEDURES TO\nINSURE SURVIVOR'S SAFETY IN\nPRESENTATIONS, WE ARE ASKING FOR\nPHOTO AND VIDEO REDACTION AS\nWELL AS TRAUMA-INFORMED\nPARTICIPATION OPTIONS FOR THOSE\nWHO WOULD LIKE TO THEIR THEIR\nSTORIES. THIS WILL UPHOLD\nTRANSPARENCY FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS\nWHILE PROTECTING SURVIVOR\nIDENTITY. IF SEATTLE IS TO\nBECOME A PLACE WHERE SEXUAL\nASSAULT IS TREATED AS PUBLIC\nHEALTH ISSUE, WE URGE YOU TO\nADOPT THE PROTECTIONS AND LEAD\nWITH INTENTION. BY INSURING NO\nSURVIVOR HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN\nBEING HEARD AND BEING SAFE,\nBECAUSE AWARENESS ALONE IS NOT\nENOUGH. SAFETY MUST BE BUILT\nINTO OUR SYSTEMS AND REFLECTED\nIN OUR PROCESSES. SURVIVORS MUST\nBE ABLE TO ENGAGE WITHOUT FEAR.\nWE APPRECIATE YOUR SHARED\nCOMMITMENT TO THIS ISSUE AND\nWELCOME CONTINUED CONVERSATION\nABOUT THIS AND OTHER\nRECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE SEATTLE\nWOMEN'S COMMISSION HAS TO\nOFFER. WE LOOK FORWARD TO\nWORKING ALONGSIDE YOU, LONG WITH\nTHE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO\nCOULDN'T MAKE IT TODAY, AND\nEFFORT TO BE CHAMPIONS FOR THOSE\nWHO EXPERIENCE SEXUAL VIOLENCE,\nWHICH INCLUDE THOSE YOU KNOW,\nTHOSE YOU LOVE, AND THOSE YOU\nREPRESENT. THANK YOU.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU. THANK\nYOU, EMILY, THANK YOU, WHIT,\nTHANK YOU, AMANDA. NEXT WE HAVE\nSHELL FROM HUMAN SERVICES\nDEPARTMENT, AND WE ARE JOINED BY\nREPRESENTATIVE BREONNA TOMUS AND\nHANNAH FROM HUMAN SERVICES\nDEPARTMENT. WELCOME.\nTHANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON,\nCOUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS\nSHELL, I USE SHE/HER PRONOUNS\nWITH THE SAFE AND THRIVING\nCOMMUNITIES DIVISION. AS\nCONTRACT SUPERVISOR WITH THE\nMAYOR'S OFFICE ON DOMESTIC\nVIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT, IT\nIS A UNIT WITHIN STC, SORRY, I,\nALONG WITH OUR TEAM HERE, HAVE\nTHE HONOR OF WORKING WITH OVER\n30 COMMUNITY-BASED\nORGANIZATIONS. HSD FUNDS THE\nORGANIZATIONS AS A SAFETY NET\nFOR SURVIVORS OF GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE, TO INCREASE ACCESS TO\nSERVICES THAT ARE\nTRAUMA-INFORMED, AND CULTURALLY\nREL VENT. SEXUAL VIOLENCE\nAFFECTS EVERYBODY REGARDLESS OF\nAGE, GENDER, RACE, AND OTHER\nBACKGROUNDS. SURVIVORS OFTEN\nFACE BARRIERS TO REPORTING OR\nSEEKING HELP, INCLUDING FEAR,\nSTIG NU, AND LACK OF TRUST IN\nSYSTEMS SUCH AS THE IMPACT OF\nCURRENT FEDERAL POLICIES, AS\nWELL AS THE CONTINUED OPPRESSION\nTHAT MADE IT HARDER FOR\nSURVIVORS TO SEEK SAFETY. WE\nAPPRECIATE THE COUNCIL'S\nSUPPORT TO ADDRESS THE IMPACTS\nFOR SURVIVORS WHO WORK WITH\nSURVIVORS EVERY DAY AND WHO WORK\nWITH THE MOST VOLNERABLE. THANK\nYOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND\nADDRESSING GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE\nIN OUR CITY. TOGETHER WE CAN\nTAKE ACTION TO END SEXUAL\nVIOLENCE. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. [ APPLAUSE ]\nWE HAVE KATE GARVEY FROM KING: WE HAVE KATE GARVEY FROM KING\nCOUNTY SEXUAL ASSAULT RESOURCE\nCENTER, FOLLOWED BY DARIA, --\nTHEY DID, OKAY? I APOLOGIZE.\nTHERE IS NO D IN MY DOCUMENT ON\nTHE END, I JUST WANT YOU TO--\nSORRY. I APOLOGIZE, YOU WILL\nCORRECT ME WHEN YOU COME.\nALL RIGHT, FIRST AND\nFOREMOST, THANK YOU ALL. MY NAME\nIS KATE GARVEY, I AM THE CEO OF\nTHE KING COUNTY SEXUAL ASSAULT\nRESOURCE CENTER, AND I HAVE SO\nMANY NOTES HERE TO REFERENCE BUT\nI WANT TO START OFF WITH SOME\nTHANK YOUS BECAUSE ALL OF YOU\nHAVE SAID SOMETHING REALLY\nMEANINGFUL TODAY. WE GO TO THESE\nTHROUGHOUT THE MONTH IN ALL OF\nKING COUNTY AND HEAR WONDERFUL\nTHINGS FROM SO MANY OF OUR\nCOUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES ACROSS\nTHE COUNTY. TODAY WAS ESPECIALLY\nMEANINGFUL TO HEAR HOW SPECIAL\nTHIS PROCLAMATION AND HOW\nTHOUGHTFUL IT WAS. I WANT TO SAY\nTHANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER RINCK,\nBECAUSE YOU HIT SO MANY\nPERSONALIZED NOTES IN THERE,\nTHANK YOU. YEAH. COUNCIL MEMBER\nJUAREZ, WHAT YOU SAID TODAY WAS\nREALLY IMPACTFUL, PROBABLY MORE\nSO THAN WHAT I COULD SAY IN HERE\nABOUT BEING PART OF THE\nCOMMUNITY AND PAYING ATTENTION\nTO WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND YOU,\nAND TALKING ABOUT THOSE THAT\nCAME BEFORE US, THAT DID THE\nGOOD WORK. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND\nLISTENING TO THAT PODCAST AS\nWELL, ADULTS IN THE ROOM. YES.\nFINALLY, THANK YOU, COUNCIL\nMEMBER RIVERA, FOR TALKING ABOUT\nTHE BE LOUD BREAKFAST, THE\nMOMENT WE ASK EVERYBODY TO STAND\nUP, IF THEY THEMSELVES OR KNOW\nSOMEONE WHO IS A SURVIVOR, IT IS\nAN INCREDIBLY POWERFUL MOMENT.\nTO THE OTHER SURVIVORS IN THE\nROOM, I WANT TO SAY WE SEE YOU,\nWE ARE HERE FOR YOU, AND YOU ARE\nNOT ALONE. I THINK YOU HAVE\nHEARD SEXUAL ASSAULT IS\nINCREDIBLY COMMON. IT IS FAR\nMORE COMMON THAN PEOPLE REALIZE,\nHALF OF WOMEN AND A THIRD OF MEN\nWILL EXPERIENCE ASSAULT IN THEIR\nLIFETIME.\nWE KNOW YOUNG PEOPLE AMONG US\nARE THE MOST VOLNERABLE TO\nSEXUAL VIOLENCE AND OFTEN LEAST\nLIKELY TO BE BELIEVED. SEXUAL\nVIOLENCE PERSISTS IN SILENCE, IT\nTHRIVES WHEN WE LOOK AWAY, WHEN\nWE ASSUME IT DOESN'T AFFECT\nPEOPLE WE KNOW OUR COMMUNITIES\nWE ARE APART OF. WE TREAT\nAWARENESS AS A MOMENT INSTEAD OF\nA RESPONSIBILITY. WHILE THIS\nISSUE CAN FEEL OVERWHELMING AND\nCREATING CHANGE DOESN'T REQUIRE\nDOING EVERYTHING, WE CAN DO\nTHINGS THAT ARE SMALL, EVERY DAY\nCHOICES, IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE\nSPEAKING UP WHEN WE HEAR SOMEONE\nTHAT IS VICTIM BLAMING, NOT\nLAUGHING AT A JOKE THAT MAKES\nLIGHT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE, IT CAN\nBE HAVING AN HONEST\nAGE-APPROPRIATE CONVERSATION\nWITH YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT CONSENT\nAND HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS. IT\nCAN BE SIMPLE, AND IT CAN BE\nPOWERFUL. JUST LIKE BELIEVING\nSOMEONE WHEN THEY SHARE THEIR\nSTORY AND THEN HELPING THEM\nCONNECT TO SUPPORT. AN EASY\nPLACE TO START, OF COURSE, IS BY\nSHARING OUR RESOURCES, YOU CAN\nSHARE 24 HOUR RESOURCE LINE\n1-88-99-VOICE, SO ANYONE THAT\nNEEDS HELP KNOWS WHERE TO TURN.\nWE OFTEN SAY WE CAN'T CHANGE\nWHAT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT.\nSEATTLE, THANK YOU YOUR\nCOMMITMENT, ESPECIALLY THE LAST\nBUDGET SEASON, AND TO SURVIVORS\nIN SEATTLE AS A WHOLE. YOUR\nLEADERSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP AND\nWILLINGNESS TO BE LOUD ABOUT\nSEXUAL ASSAULT IS MAKING A\nDIFFERENCE. TOGETHER WE CAN\nCREATE A COMMUNITY WHERE\nSURVIVORS ARE SUPPORTED,\nBELIEVED, AND WHERE PREVENTION\nIS TRULY POSSIBLE. THANK YOU CHT\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nMY NAME IS DIADRA BOILENED: MY NAME IS DIADRA BOILENED.\nSO, I AM PROUD TO REPRESENT THE\nWASHINGTON STATE COALITION\nAGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND\nSEXUAL ASSAULT. THIS YEAR MARKS\nOUR FIRST AS THE DESIGNATED\nSEXUAL ASSAULT COALITION OF\nWASHINGTON STATE. WE HOLD THAT\nRESPONSIBILITY WITH DEEP HONOR\nAND PRIDE AS WE SUPPORT\nCOMMUNITY SEXUAL ASSAULT\nPROGRAMS ACROSS THE STATE. APRIL\n2026 MARKS THE 25th ANNIVERSARY\nOF SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS\nMONTH BUT THE MOVEMENT DID NOT\nBEGIN 25 YEARS AGO, IT IS ROOTED\nIN DECADES OF ORGANIZING DATING\nBACK TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA OF\nTHE 1940US AND 50s WHEN\nMOVEMENTS OF SOCIAL CHANGE AND\nEQUALITY BEGAN TO TAKE SHAPE. AT\nA TIME WHEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT\nSEXUAL AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE\nWERE OFTEN SILENCED, ACTIVEESTS\nPUSH ED FORWARD ANYWAY. WE MUST\nACKNOWLEDGE THIS WORK WAS, AND\nCONTINUES TO BE, LED BY BLACK\nWOMEN AND WOMEN OF COLOR, WHOSE\nLEADERSHIP, COURAGE, LAID THE\nFOUNDATION FOR THE MOVEMENT WE\nCARRY FORWARD TODAY. TODAY WE\nARE REMINDED THIS WORK IS FAR\nFROM OVER. RECENT DISCLOSURE\nINCLUDING DELOR EZ, SHARING HER\nTRUTH ALONGSIDE THE CONTINUED\nRECKONING IN EPSTEIN CASE,\nUNDERSCORE THE URGENCY, OFTEN AT\nGREAT PERSONAL COST, ASKING TO\nBE HEARD, BELIEVED, AND\nSUPPORTED. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT\nTHAN EVER WE STAND WITH\nSURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND\nWHAT W THE PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT\nTHEM EVERY DAY. SEXUAL VIOLENCE\nIMPACTS EVERY COMMUNITY, AND\nBEHIND EVERY STATISTIC IS A\nPERSON, A SURVIVOR WHO DESERVES\nTO BE BELIEVED, SUPPORTED, AND\nMET WITH CARE. COMMUNITY-BASED\nPROGRAMS ACROSS WASHINGTON STATE\nPROVIDE THAT CARE EVERY DAY,\nOFFERING CRISIS SUPPORT,\nADVOCACY, AND PATHWAYS TO\nHEALING. THIS MONTH IS NOT ONLY\nABOUT AWARENESS, IT IS ABOUT\nACTION. IT IS ABOUT INVESTING IN\nSERVICES AND SUPPORT FOR\nSURVIVORS. TO THE ADVOCATE\nSURVIVORS AND COMMUNITIES\nMEMBERS HERE TODAY, WE THANK\nYOU. YOUR VOICES, YOUR WORK,\nYOUR COMMITMENT ARE WHAT MOVE US\nFORWARD. WE ARE STRONGER\nTOGETHER. THANK YOU.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, MEMBERS OF\nTHE COUNCIL, MY NAME IS\nANNMARIE, COEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR\nOF THE COALITION ENDING\nGENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. SO MUCH\nBEAUTIFUL THINGS HAVE BEEN SAID\nBY ALL MY COLLEAGUES AND\nPARTNERS IN THE WORK Y AM GOING\nTO TRY TO ADD A LITTLE SOMETHING\nTO THE CONVERSATION. WE ARE JUST\nSO PROUD TO BE HERE WITH\nEVERYONE AND ACKNOWLEDGING APRIL\nAS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS\nMONTH. IN THE BOOK \"TRUTH AND\nREPAIR\" EXPERT JUDITH STATES\nSURVIVORS WANT THE TRUTH TO BE\nRECOGNIZED AND THE CRIME TO BE\nDENOUNCED BY THOSE IN THEIR\nCOMMUNITIES WHO MATTER TO THEM.\nTHIS MEANS SURVIVORS MUST\nACTUALLY MATTER TO THEIR WIDER\nCOMMUNITIES. OUR WORK AS A\nCOALITION IS TO CARE FOR,\nCONNECT WITH, AND MOBILIZE OVER\n35 LOCAL PROGRAMS WHO ARE ALL\nWORKING TO BUILD COMMUNITIES\nWHERE SURVIVORS AND THEIR\nEXPERIENCES ACTUALLY MATTER IN\nOUR SOCIETY. ADVOCATES BARE\nWITNESS TO THE IMPACTS OF RAPE,\nABUSE, AND VIOLENCE THAT PEOPLE\nOFTEN LOOK AWAY FROM OR PRETEND\nDOESN'T EXIST. AS WE WATCH THE\nNATIONAL NEWS, WE ARE ALL BARING\nWITNESS AS MENTIONED, TO\nSURVIVORS POWERFULLY DISCLOSING\nBUSE AND EXPOSING DECADES OF\nCOVER UPS. LOCALLY WE HAVE SEEN\nDISCLOSURES OF MISCONDUCT AND\nSEXUAL HARASSMENT AT SEVERAL\nCITY DEPARTMENTS AND LOCAL\nGENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PROGRAMS\nSTRUGGLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE\nNEED FOR SERVICES AMIDST\nINCREASING BUDGET CUTS AND\nFEDERAL FUNDING UNCERTAINTY.\nTHERE IS MUCH WORK TO BE DONE TO\nFULLY REALIZE OUR COLLECTIVE\nVISION OF EQUITABLE\nRELATIONSHIPS AND END TO\nGENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. WE\nBELIEVE HAVING STRONG SURVIVOR\nPROGRAMS AND WORKING IN\nCOALITION CAN SHIFT THE\nCONDITIONS THAT ALLOW ABUSES OF\nPOWER TO FLOURISH. AND WHY\nLEADERSHIP FROM ELECTED LEADERS\nAS EXHIBITED HERE TODAY IS SO\nCRITICAL. NAMING THE CURRENT AND\nHISTORICAL VIOLENCE OF SEXUAL\nASSAULT AND WHO IS MOST LIKELY\nTO EXPERIENCE ITS HARMS AS THIS\nPROCLAMATION DOES IS A\nMEANINGFUL WAY TO SHOW THAT\nSURVIVORS AND THEIR EXPERIENCES\nMATTER. THANK YOU, COUNCIL\nMEMBER, FOR THIS PROCLAMATION\nAND THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR\nWILSON FOR STANDING WITH US\nTODAY AND FOR MAKING THIS\nPROCLAMATION A PRIORITY. WE LOOK\nFORWARD TO CONTINUING THE WORK\nTOGETHER. THANK YOU.\nREPRESENTATIVE THOMAS, DID\nYOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?\nTHEY COVERED IT: THEY COVERED IT.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH\nFOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAME\nTODAY. I BELIEVE NOW WE ARE\nGOING TO DO A GROUP PHOTO. WE\nHAVE DONE THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES\nBEFORE, SO, COLLEAGUES, IF YOU\nWOULD COME TO THE CENTER AND\nTHEN THE FOLKS THAT SPOKE, WE\nARE GOING TO TAKE A GROUP PHOTO\nWITH THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THE\nPROCLAMATION AND WE ARE GOING TO\nHAVE EVERYBODY COME UP TO THE\nSTAGE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.\nNEXT, JUST A REMINDER TO THE\nGENERAL PUBLIC, YOU ARE NOT\nLOWED TO ATTACK COUNCIL MEMBERS\nBASED ON THEIR RACE, BASED ON\nTHEIR GENDER, BASED ON THEIR\nSEXUALITY, BASED ON THEIR\nRELIGION, JUST TO CLARIFY THAT.\n[ APPLAUSE ] WE WON'T-- JUST\nWON'T BETOLERATED. NEXT, ANDREA\n. WELCOME.\nHELLO, I AM HERE REPRESENTING\nLABORS ACROSS THE REGION. I WANT\nTO TALK ABOUT WHY SUPPORTING A\nBOND FOR THE SEATTLE CENTER SO\nIMPORTANT, NOT JUST FOR THE\nCITY, BUT FOR OUR MEMBERS AND WE\nRELY ON REALLY GOOD UNION JOBS.\nSO THE SEATTLE CENTER IS ONE OF\nTHE MOST IMPORTANT PLACES IN OUR\nCITY, IT WHERE PEOPLE COME\nTOGETHER FOR FESTIVALS,\nCONCERTS, SPORTING EVENTS, ET\nCETERA, BUT THE FACILITIES OLD,\nLOT OF MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PUT\nOFF FOR A VERY LONG TIME,\nWAITING TO FIX THE BUILDINGS\nDOESN'T MAKE IT CHEAPER, IT\nONLY MAKES IT MORE EXPENSIVE AND\nCONSTRUCTION COSTS AND INTEREST\nRATES ARE UNPREDICTABLE. SO, IT\nIS ACTUALLY GOING TO SAVE US\nMONEY IF WE DO THIS NOW.\nINVESTING IN THE SEATTLE CENTER\nIS ABOUT THE PEOPLE, REPAIRING\nAND UPGRADES CREATE JOBS RIGHT\nAWAY, WHICH MEMBERS NEED DURING\nTHE TOUGH TIMES AND CONSTRUCTION\nIS STEADY WORK FOR MEMBERS IN\nTHE CITY, AND THE LOCAL ECONOMY.\nVISITING THE CENTER, MORE\nBUSINESS. THIS WOULD MAKE THIS\nCENTER SAFER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE\nFOR EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY\nUNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES.\nIMPROVEMENTS NOW MEAN PEOPLE CAN\nENJOY THE PUBLIC SPACES WITHOUT\nDISRUPTIONS FROM CRUMBLING\nINFRASTRUCTURE, SO, AS I SAID,\nIF WE WAIT, WE RISK LOSING\nPUBLIC SUPPORT AND MOMENTUM,\nRIGHT NOW THE PEOPLE ARE PAYING\nATTENTION. WE CAN ACT WHILE THE\nNEED IS URGENT AND VISIBLE.\nSUPPORTING THE BOND IS SMART,\nRESPONSIBLE, AND SOMETIMELY, IT\nPROTECTS PUBLIC ACCESSS, SUPPORT\nUNION FAMILIES AND KEEP SEATTLE\nA VIBRANT HUB FOR THE CITY. WE\nURGE YOU TO ACT NOW AND PUT THIS\nON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT SO\nCONSTRUCTION CAN START SOONER,\nUNION JOBS CAN BE CREATED AND\nTHE CENTER CAN CONTINUE SERVING\nOUR COMMUNITY FOR GENERATIONS.\nNICOLE, STEVE, KEN, JERRY.\nMY NAME IS NICOLE AND I: MY NAME IS NICOLE AND I\nREPRESENT THE INTERNATIONAL\nBROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL\nWORKERS, LOCAL 46 I AM INAN\nELECTRICIAN. I WANT TO BOOST\nWHAT MY UNION SISTER WAS SAYING.\nGOOD TIME TO BE IN SEATTLE, WE\nWON THE SUPER BOWL, ABOUT TO\nHOST THE WORLD CUP, WE WILL, GOD\nWILLING, BE HAVING THE SEATTLE\nSUPER SONICS RETURNING TO THE\nSEATTLE CENTER IN THE NEAR\nFUTURE AND IT IS A GREAT TIME TO\nINVEST IN OURSELVES. THESE\nINVESTMENTS ARE A HEAVY LIFT. WE\nARE THE ONES THAT PAY FOR THEM.\nBUT IT IS NEVER GOING TO BE A\nBAD IDEA TO MAKE THE SEATTLE\nCENTER GOOD. IT IS THE SETTING\nOF OUR CHILDHOODS, FOR THE KIDS\nIN THE CITY, IT IS A PLACE WHERE\nEVERYBODY IS WELCOME, AND, YOU\nKNOW, SELFISHLY, I HAVE TO SAY\nTHAT IN MY UNION, WE HAVE HAD A\nLOT OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, YOU\nKNOW, IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY OUT\nTHERE IN THE ECONOMY AND THERE\nIS A THOUSAND ELECTRICIANS\nWITHOUT JOBS RIGHT NOW. IF THE\nINVESTMENT IN SOMETHING THAT\nLIFTS OUR CITY UP CAN ALSO BE AN\nINVESTMENT IN WORKERS WHO NEED\nJOBS RIGHT NOW, THAT IS A DOUBLE\nWIN FOR US, AND THAT IS OUR\nUNION IS COMING TO YOU, ASKING\nFOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON A BOND TO\nREDO THE SEATTLE CENTER, MAKE IT\nREADY FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE,\nAND CUT DOWN ON GREENHOUSE GAS\nEMISSIONS, AND IT IS THE SAME\nREASON WHY WE ARE GOING TO BE\nBACK TOMORROW MORNING ADVOCATING\nFOR THE AMENDMENTS TO THE\nLIBRARY LEVEE, WE ARE ASKING FOR\nYOU TO INVEST IN US AS WORKERS.\nTHANKS.\nTHANK YOU, NEXT, STEVE,\nFOLLOWED BY KEN, TERRY JOHN,\nDIANA, JIMMY.\nHE HAS GOT A SIGN. GOOD\nAFTERNOON, MY NAME IS STEVE Y AM\nA RETIRED MATH TEACHER, AND NOW\nI HAPPILY VOLUNTEER WITH TRASH\nWALK TO IMPROVE OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD. WHILE PICKING UP\nTRASH, WE HAVE OBSERVED DECAY OF\nPUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY RELATED\nTO OPEN AIR DRUG USE AND CRIME.\nWE HAVE DOCUMENTED THE IMPACT ON\nOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO RAISE\nAWARENESS AND AFFECT CHANGE. YOU\nHAVE A COPY OF OUR DOCUMENT.\nTHIS MAP SHOWS THE AFFECTED AREA\nBETWEEN THE LIGHT RAIL STATIONS.\nTHIS IS SEATTLE'S ONLY\nNEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS WALKING\nDISTANCE TO L1 AND L2, IT HAS SO\nMUCH POTENTIAL. BUT THIS\nNEIGHBORHOOD IS AT A BREAKING\nPOINT. EACH RED DOT REPRESENTS A\nSMALL FAMILY BUSINESS,\nNON-PROFIT SCHOOL, CHURCH, OR\nRESIDENT, WHO HAS BEEN IMPACTED.\nTHERE ARE WELL OVER 200 UNHOUSED\nIN THE MAPPED AREA. THE TOTAL\nFINANCIAL IMPACT FOR JUST THESE\n34 OVER THE LAST TWO TO THREE\nYEARS IN ARSON, THEFT, AND\nPROPERTY DAMAGE, IS 2.35 MILLION\nOR 80K PER PROPERTY. JUST AS\nIMPORTANT AS THE IMPACT FOR\nPUBLIC SAFETY, STAFF, STUDENTS,\nCONGREGATION. FOR DECADES MOUNT\nBAKER WAS A HERB OF COMMERCE AND\nCOMMUNITY SERVICE, WE ARE LEFT\nWITH VACANT LOTS, CLOSED\nBUSINESSES, AND UNSAFE\nENVIRONMENT THAT DETERS FUTURE\nGROWTH IN INVESTMENT. THIS\nPHOTO, ONE OF MANY IN THE\nPACKET, SHOWS A SEATTLE\nGREENWAY, A SCHOOL ZONE WITH AN\nELEMENTARY AND GIRLS MIDDLE\nSCHOOL ACROSS THE STREET. NOTE\nTHE VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON\nWITH THEIR GUIDE DOG WALKING TO\nTHE LIGHT HOUSE FOR THE BLIND,\nFORCED TO NAVIGATE AN ACTIVE\nDRUG DEAL, A WOMAN BUYING FROM\nTHE DEALER INSIDE THIS TENT.\nTHIS IS NOT CITY BASICS BETTER,\nTHIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY\nCRISIS THAT NEEDS A COVID-LEVEL\nRESPONSE. PLEASE AUTHORIZE\nACTION TO TAKE DRUG DEALERS OFF\nOUR STREETERS AND GET TREATMENT\nFOR THOSE THEY PRAY UPON. ACT TO\nRESTORE HEALTH AND SAFETY TO OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, KEN, STEVE, EXCUSE\nME. IT IS STEVE. WE HAVE KEN\nFOLLOWED BY TERRY.\nI LIVED IN MT. BAKER SINCE\n1992, I WAS WALKING BETWEEN\nRAINIER AVENUE AND SOUTH\nCOLLEGE, STEVE AND I WALK PRETTY\nMUCH EVERY DAY FOR EXERCISE OR\nPICK UP TRASH, THIS AREA HAS\nBEEN USED FOR DRUG DEALING ASK\nDRUG USES FOR A VERY LONG TIME.\nON THIS DAY I PASTED GENTLEMAN\nIN A BLACK TRENCH COAT AND I\nSAID GOOD MORNING, AS I\nAPPROACHED ONE OF THE RVs ALWAYS\nPARK TLD I SEE A HAND COME OUT\nOF THE WINDOW, BY THIS TIME A\nLINE OF PEOPLE HAD FORMED\nOUTSIDE THE WIND EO, THE FIRST\nPERSON IN LINE WAS A LITTLE OLD\nLADY, IN THE AS A RAIL. I SEE\nHER PUT SOMETHING INTO THE HAND,\nTHE HAND WITHDRAWS FROM THE RV,\nAND THEN REAPPEARS WITH\nSOMETHING. THE LITTLE OLD LADY\nTAKES THE SOMETHING FROM THE\nHAND AND SHE IS JUST THRILLED,\nSMILES AND GOES SKIPPING AWAY. I\nTURN AROUND TO WALK AWAY AND THE\nGENTLEMAN IN THE BLACK COAT IS\nRIGHT BEHIND ME, HE ASK MEEZS\nWHAT ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU\nDOING? I REPLIED WHO ARE YOU AND\nWHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HE SAYS\nYOU HERE TO HARASS THE HOMELESS\nPEOPLE. I SAID NO I AM WALKING\nTHROUGH. WITH THAT HE REPEATED\nHIS CLAIM AND SAID YOU BETTER\nGET THE F OUT OF HERE. HE\nAPPROACHED ME CLOSER, REPEATED\nHIS THREAT, AND RAISED HIS FIST\nTO MY FACE. WITH THAT I BACKED\nAWAY AND TOLD STEVE WE ARE NOT\nSAFE HERE, WE HAVE GOT TO GET\nOUT OF HERE. WE LEFT THE AREA\nAND CALLED THE POLICE. THERE IS\nSOMETHING WRONG IN THE CITY OF\nSEATTLE IF A RESIDENT CAN'T\nWALK DOWN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD\nSTREET WITHOUT GETTING\nTHREATENED BY A THUG TRYING TO\nPROTECT THE DRUG DEAL. THE THUG\nACTED AS IF HE WAS PROTECTING\nHOMELESS PEOPLE, IN REALTY HE\nWAS ACTUALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF\nTHE DRUG ADDICTS. THE POOR\nLITTLE OLD LADY AND MANY ARE\nBEING PRAYED UPON T IS NOT\nHUMANE AND ETHICAL TO LEAVE THEM\nON THE STREETS. THEY NEED\nTREATMENT AND DRUG DEALERS NEED\nTO BE ARRESTED, ARRESTING KNOWN\nDRUG DEALERS TAKES WAY TOO LONG,\nTHE PROCESS NEEDS TO BE\nEXPEDITED. MT. BAKER RESIDENTS,\nBUSINESSES, CHURCHES, AND\nSCHOOLS ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO\nDEAL WITH THE SITUATION PUT WITH\nWE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. WE NEED\nYOUR HELP. I KNOW YOU WANT TO\nHELP, WE NEED ACTION, NOT JUST\nWORDS, YOU CAN DO BETTER. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, KEN. NEXT, TERRY,\nFOLLOWED BY JOHN. WELCOME,\nTERRY. GOOD TO SEE YOU.\nHI. I AM TERRY MCGIBBON, I\nLIVED IN MT. BAKE FOR 50 YEARS.\nI NEVER THOUGHT IN MY RETIREMENT\nIED BE PICKING UP TRASH TO KEEP\nMYSELF OUT OF TROUBLE, BUT I AM.\nIT HAS BEEN A GOOD WAY FOR ME TO\nCONNECT WITH THE BUSINESSES IN\nOUR AREA, MEET OTHER NEIGHBORS\nAND STUFF, GIVE BACK A LITTLE\nBIT, TOO, A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I\nLOVE. I HELPED RAISE TWO\nDAUGHTERS THAT WENT TO GARFIELD.\nI HAVE A REAL LOVE FOR THE\nVALLEY AND MT. BAKER. I WANTED\nTO THANK SOME PEOPLE, COUNCIL\nMEMBER LINN, THESE PEOPLE AND\nTHEIR STAFFS, WE HAVE BEEN THE\nSQUEAKY WHEEL AND THEY ARE\nDEFINITELY HAVE BEEN HELPING US\nOUT. CHRISTINE HENDERSON, WHO\nISN'T HERE, BUT WORKED FOR\nCOUNCIL MEMBER SOLOMON REALLY\nHAS ORGANIZED AND GOT THE SAME\nGOAL AND WE HAVE OVER A HUNDRED\nPEOPLE IN OUR MT. BAKER TRASH\nGROUP NOW, WHICH IS CRAZY. JENNY\nFRANKAL, TALK ABOUT SUPER STAR,\nMAN, HER IN ADOPT A STREET,\nAMAZING. SHE HAS HELPED US A\nLOT. TRACY KRAMER AND FIND\nIT/FIX IT, I AM ALL ABOUT TRYING\nTO FIX IT. ANDREA, WE HEART\nSEATTLE, DOING AMAZING WORK AND\nSTUFF, I CAN'T DO WHAT SHE IS\nDOING, I AM JUST DOING WHAT I\nCAN. THEY ARE REALLY DOING THE\nHEAVY LIFTING. AND TEMPUAL THE\nMT. BAKER ALLIANCE AND AND HER\nSTAFF, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE AND\nTHEIR STAFFS HAVE BEEN GREAT TO\nWORK WITH AND STUFF. I AM GOING\nTO KEEP MY THOUGHTS ON THE\nPOSITIVE SIDE AND THIS GOOD TO\nSEE THINGS IMPROVE IN OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD DAY BY DAY.\nTHANK YOU, TERRY. NEXT WE\nHAVE JOHN, FOLLOWED BY DIANA,\nAND MINISTER HERD.\nHI, I OWN DEANY CONSTRUCTION,\nMY COMPANY HAS BEEN PART OF THE\nRAINIER VALLEY NEARLY 90 YEARS\nACROSS FOUR GENERATIONS, ONE OF\nTHE LAST LONG-STANDING\nFAMILY-RUN BUSINESSES STILL\nOPERATE IN THE COMMUNITY.\nBUSINESSES LIKE OURS HELP BUILD\nTHE VALLEY, LITERALLY AND\nFIGURATIVELY, BUT TODAY I HAVE\nTO ASK FOR HOW MUCH LONGER? WE\nARE DEEPLY CONCERNED, THE\nCONDITION OF THE MT. BAKER AND\nNORTH RAINIER VALLEY\nNEIGHBORHOODS HAS DECLINED IN\nWAYS THAT ARE UNSAFE FOR\nRESIDENTS, WORKERS, AND PEOPLE\nLIVING ON THE STREETS. WE SEE\nOPEN DRUG USE, INDIVIDUALS\nPASSED OUT OR WORSE NEAR\nROADWAYS, PEOPLE WANDERING INTO\nACTIVE TRAFFIC AND CONSTRUCTION\nZONES. DRUG USERS REGULARLY\nCONGREGATE IN LARGE NUMBERS IN\nOUR DRIVEWAY, AN ACT OF\nTHOROUGHFAIR ALL DAY LONG FOR\nVEHICLES. I WANT TO BE CLEAR,\nTHIS IS DANGEROUS FOR THEM,\nTHESE ARE PEOPLE AT REAL RISK OF\nBEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR\nKILLED BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY ARE\nIN THE CONDITION THEY ARE IN.\nALSO PUTS MY EMPLOYEES IN AN\nIMPOSSIBLE POSITION, I WANT THEM\nTO FEEL SAFE WHEN THEY COME TO\nWORK AND RIGHT NOW THEY DO NOT.\nIT IS NOT A HYPOTHETICAL RISK,\nIT SOMETHING WE ARE ALL ACTIVELY\nTRYING TO PREVENT EVERY DAY. WE\nALREADY HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS\nWHEN CONDITIONS ARE ALLOWED TO\nDETERIORATE. LONG STANDING\nBUSINESSES LIKE MUTUAL FISH AND\nTHE BAKERY HAVE BEEN FORCED TO\nCLOSE. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE NEXT\nALLOWING PEOPLE IN THE DANGEROUS\nCONDITIONS IS NEGLECTMENT WE\nNEED REAL INTERVENTION,\nTREATMENT, OUTREACH, AND\nACCOUNTABILITY. IMMEDIATE\nRESPONSE WHEN PEOPLE ARE NEAR\nROADWAYS AND ACTIVE WORK ZONES,\nWE HAVE CALLED 911 MULTIPLE\nTIMES WITH NO RESPONSE OR\nDOESN'T DO ANYTHING. CONSTANT\nENFORCEMENT OF BASIC PUBLIC\nSAFETY LAWS THAT ARE ALREADY ON\nTHE BOOKS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW\nWHAT IS HAPPENING ISN'T WORKING\nFOR ANYONE, NOT FOR THE PEOPLE\nON THE STREETS, NOT FOR WORKERS,\nNOT FOR THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE\nINVESTED GENERATIONS INTO THE\nCOMMUNITY. THE QUESTION IS\nWHETHER THE CITY WILL ACT BEFORE\nPREVENTABLE TRAGEDY FORCES THE\nISSUE. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, JOHN. NEXT WE HAVE\nDIANA, FOLLOWED BY JIMMY, IS IT\nKAJETEN OKAY. THANK YOU.\nHI, MY NAME IS DIANA, THANKS\nFOR LISTENING TO US. I AM HERE\nREPRESENTING A BUSINESS IN THE\nRAINIER VALLEY SINCE 1959, I\nWORKED FOR THEM FOR 40 YEARS, I\nSTARTED IN 1986. I MOVED INTO\nTHE CENTRAL DISTRICT 34 YEARS\nAGO, SO I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF\nSTUFF HAPPEN. WHEN I FIRST\nSTARTED WORKING AND LIVING IN\nTHE AREA, I COULDN'T GET\nAPPLICANTS TO COME TO APPLY FOR\nA JOB BECAUSE WE WERE OFF\nRAINIER AVENUE, PEOPLE WOULDN'T\nWALK IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE\nOF CRIME SDP&DRUG DEALING, OVER\n20 YEARS I SAW LOT OF\nIMPROVEMENTS AND IT WAS REALLY A\nGREAT PLACE TO LIVE. IT IS STILL\nA GREAT PLACE, EXCEPT IT IS\nDECLINING AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO\nBACK UP EVERYTHING SAID ALREADY,\nI DON'T WANT TO REPEAT\nEVERYTHING, BUT 2015 WAS WHEN\nHOMELESSNESS WAS A STATE OF\nEMERGENCY, IT IS 2026, IF YOU DO\nTHET MATH, THAT IS 11 YEARS,\nSTATE OF EMERGENCY, THAT IS\nCRAZY T. AND ALSO, LIKE,\nEVERYBODY SAID, I DO WALK AROUND\nLOT Y DO WALK TO WORK, BUT OUR\nEMPLOYEES GET WORRIED. WE HAD\nSOMEBODY DIE DOWN THE BLOCK, A\nHOMELESS PERSON, PEOPLE\nSHOULDN'T HAVE TO WITNESS THAT.\nPEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO\nEXPERIENCE IT, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT\nBE DYING IN PUBLIC. I WOULD LIKE\nTO SEE PEOPLE GET THE HELP THEY\nNEED, AND, AGAIN, AS OF BACKING\nWHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAID ABOUT\nTHE UNSAFE CONDITIONS WE ARE\nLIVE AND WORKING IN, I WOULD\nLIKE TO INVITE ANYBODY HERE\nLISTENING THE COUNCIL TO COME TO\nDAVIS DOOR, WE WILL WALK DOWN TO\nBUDDHA, HAVE LUNCH, I WILL BUY\nLUNCH, I WILL BUY DINNER, WALK\nAROUND, YOU CAN WITNESS WHAT WE\nARE LIVING WITH WITH ENCAMPMENTS\nAND DRUG DEALING AND DRUG USE ON\nTHE STREETS AND SEE THE\nBUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE\nAND TRYING TO SURVIVOR AND STAY\nIN BUSINESS AND KEEP EMPLOYING\nPEOPLE AND PAYING TAXES, JUST\nLIKE I LIVE IN THE AREA, I WANT\nTO KEEP WALKING AROUND, KEEP\nPAYING MY TAXES AND LIVE IN A\nBEAUTIFUL CITY, BUT I DON'T\nWANT TO SEE IT DECLINE, I WOULD\nLIKE TO SEE ACTION TAKEN TO SAVE\nOUR AREA.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE\nMINISTER HERD FOLLOWED BY\nKAJETAN AND THEN THE NEXT\nSPEAKER, YOU CAN USE MIC, WE\nHAVE LAURA, MICHAEL, JEFF, MATT,\nGARRET, JASON, NATHAN, SCOTT,\nAND JACK.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, I AM JIMMY\nHERD, MINISTER IN CENTRAL\nSEATTLE, WE HAVE SERVED THE\nSEATTLE COMMUNITY FOR OVER 50\nYEAR S, INCLUDING WE PROVIDE\nWEEKLY HOT MEALS FOR THOSE WHO\nARE HOMELESS, AND THOSE WHO\nOTHERWISE NEED THEM. WE HAVE\nBEEN DOING THAT FOR MANY YEARS,\nWE HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH\nRECURRING HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT.\nIT IS GONE NOW BUT IT WILL COME\nBACK. I AM ASKING YOUR HELP WITH\nTHAT AND FOR THE LACK OF POLICE\nPRESENCE IN THE AREA. WE HAVE\nBEEN VICTIMS OF THEFT,\nHARASSMENT, AND VANDALISM. I,\nPERSONALLY, HAVE BEEN THREATENED\nBY A RESIDENT OF THIS HOMELESS\nCOMMUNITY. WE SUFFERED PROPERTY\nLOSS, HAD OVER A HUNDRED\nTHOUSAND DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO\nOUR AIR CONDITIONING UNITS,\nPEOPLE TRYING TO GET THE COPPER\nOUT, WE HAD A RENTAL HOME THAT\nWE WERE RENTING OUT TO A LOW\nINCOME PERSON, WE HAD A HOMELESS\nPERSON BREAK IN, START A FIRE,\nTHERE IS NO FIREPLACE IN THERE,\nBURN THE HOUSE DOWN. THE HOUSE\nWAS A 1917 HISTORIC HOME. IT WAS\nVALUED OVER $500,000, WE\nCONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE $30,000 A\nYEAR OF LOST REVENUE BECAUSE IT\nIS A VACANT LOT. WE NEED HELP\nPREVENTING THE RETURN OF THIS\nENCAMPMENT. IT TAKES ONE THING,\nBECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS ONE\nPERSON WILL PITCH A TENT, WITHIN\n24 HOURATIZE THERE IS TEN TENTS\nUP. IF WE CAN HAVE SOME\nINTERVENTION WITH THE FIRST\nPERSON THAT PITCHES THEIR TENT,\nLET THEM KNOW THEY ARE NOT\nLOWED. WE HAVE A VACANT LOT, WE\nARE WELCOME TO PARTNER WITH THE\nCITY ON HOUSING PROJECT. WE NEED\nHELP THERE. IF WE COULD INCREASE\nTHE NEIGHBORHOOD PATROLS, THAT\nWOULD BE A GREAT HELP. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nKAJETAN AND THEN LAURA,\nMICHAEL, JEFF, MATT.\nGOOD AFTERNOON,IER AM OWNER\nSAF RON SPICE, I HAVE BEEN\nRUNNING THE SMALLBUS SINCE 2012.\nI WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HOW BAD THE\nSITUATION HAS BECOME SINCE AFTER\nTHE PANDEMIC AND DUE TO THE\nHOMELESSNESS AND THE DRUG\nADDICT, THE DRUG USE IN THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD. RIGHT NEXT TO MY\nPLACE THE CITY OPEN A BRAND NEW\nPLACE TO HELP SUPPORT THE\nHOMELESS POPULATION. HOWEVER,\nTHE RESIDENTS OF HOBSON PLACE A\nCONSTANTLY CREATING A HAZARD BY\nTHROWING USED NEEDLES ALL OVER\nTHE AREA, ON MY ROOF, AND IN\nFRONT OF THE STORES. LAST YEAR A\nCOUPLE OF PEOPLE EVEN TRIED TO\nBURN MY BUILDING DOWN IN SPITE\nOF THE PEOPLE BEING ON SECURITY\nFOOTAGE, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.\nTHERE WAS NO CONSEQUENCES TO\nTHEM, I TALKED TO THE ADDITIONAL\nCOST OF TRYING TO REBUILD THE\nSTORE FRONT, AND THE ROOF THAT\nWAS DAMAGED BY THE FIRE. THE\nFIRE DEPARTMENT WASN'T ON TIME,\nI WOULD HAVE LOST THE WHOLE\nBUILDING. NOT TO MENTION THE\nLOSS OF REVENUE WHEN I WAS CLOSE\nTO MAKE THE REPAIRS. ON THE\nREGULAR BUSINESS, YOU KNOW EVERY\nDAY, MY TRUCKS HAVE BEEN BROKEN\nDOWN, GENERATORVISE BEEN STOLEN,\nTHAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE THING\nTHEY NEED TO GET ELECTRICITY\nWHEN THEY ARE ON THE STREET.\nWINDOWS SMASHED, STEALING\nWHATEVER THEY CAN FIND IN THE\nFENCED AREA. ADDITIONAL COST TO\nGET IT BACK FROM THE TOWING\nCOMPANY, I LIKE THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD, IT HAS BEEN A GOOD\nNEIGHBORHOOD, CLOSE TO THE CITY\nAND I WANT HELP FROM THE CITY\nCOUNCIL TO, YOU KNOW, MORE\nPATROLLING AND MAYBE EVEN NO\nTOILET, SO DO IT ALL OVER THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD, JUST KIND OF SAD.\nTHANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.\n[ APPLAUSE ]\nNEXT WE HAVE LAURA FOLLOWED: NEXT WE HAVE LAURA FOLLOWED\nBY MICHAEL, JEFF, MATT, GARRET,\nJASON, NATHAN WALL.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS\nDR. LAURA, I AM THE OWNER OF THE\nVETERINARY HOSPITAL WHICH HAS\nBEEN SERVING NORTH BEACON HILL\nIN RAINIER VALLEY SINCE THE\n1950s. I AM NOT HERE TO DEBATE\nHOMELESSNESS Y AM HERE TO\nDESCRIBE THE UNCHECKED\nLAWLESSNESS, LOOKS LIKE OUTSIDE\nMY BUILDING AND TO HOLD THIS\nCOUNCIL ACCOUNTABLE. FOR NEARLY\nFOUR YEARS WE HAVE ENDURED\nCONSTANT ENCAMPMENT OUTSIDE OUR\nDOOR. STAFF WERE SUBJECTED TO\nLEWD COMMENTS AND INTIMIDATION,\nYOUNG FEMALE EMPLOYEES AND\nSTUDENTS FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL\nJUST UP THE STREET HAVE BEEN\nFOLLOWED, WE WITNESSED DALEY\nDRUG DEALS OUTSIDE OUR GATE,\nPEOPLE INCAPACITATED BY FENTANYL\nIN OUR DRIVEWAY, INDIVIDUALS\nNAKED IN OUR PARKING LOT. LAST\nSUMMER SOMEONE NEARLY BURNED MY\nBUILDING DOWN Y. HAPPENED TO\nARRIVE 6:30 A.M. TO FIND AN\nACTIVE FIRE FOUR FEET FROM MY\nOXYGEN TANKS, OXYGEN IS VERY\nCOMBUSTIBLE. FIVE MINUTES LATER\nTHE BUILDING WOULD HAVE BEEN ON\nFIREWORKS PATIENTS, BUSINESS,\nFIREFIGHTERS' LIVES AT RISK. I\nCALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TWICE\nFOR CAMP FIRES UNDER THE\nPHARMACY, ONE OF OUR NEIGHBOR'S\nROOF, WE GAVE THE CITY FOOTAGE\nOF THE ARSONIST WHO BURNED DOWN\nTHE FRUIT STAND ACROSS THE\nSTREET FROM US. WE BREATHED\nTOXIC SMOKE FROM CAMP FIRES\nBURNING TRASH ON OUR SIDEWALK.\nOUR FENCE WAS CUT, ROOF WAS\nBROKEN THROUGH, OUR LOT HAS BEEN\nBREACHED AND ITEMS HAVE BEEN\nSTOLEN. WE CALLED THE CITY, THE\nSEATTLE POLICE, REPEATEDLY,\nNOTHING HAPPENS. DURING THE PAST\nFOUR YEARS VANS AND RVs LEAKING\nHUMAN WASTE AND STEALING TRASH\nSAT OUTSIDE OUR BUSINESS WHILE\nTHE CITY IGNORED ITS OWN CODES.\nTHREATENED TO FINE US IF WE\nDIDN'T CLEAN THE CITY-OWNED\nALLEY BEHIND US. WE REMOVED\n2,000 POUNDS OF TRASH AT OUR\nEXPENSE, IT COST CLIENTS,\nREVENUE, AND SAFETY.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE\nMICHAEL, FOLLOWED BY JEFF, MATT,\nGARRET, JASON, NATHAN, SCOTT,\nSCOTT, AND JACK.\nHELLO. HI. I AM MICHAEL, A\nMT. BAKER RESIDENT, BUSINESS\nOWNER, NON-PROFIT DIRECTOR AND\nBOARD MEMBER OF A MUTUAL AID\nORGANIZATION. YOU HAVE RECEIVED\nNARRATIVES FROM MANY TODAY,\nINCLUDING MINE, INWANT TO FOCUS\nON THE SYSTEM LEVEL ISSUES\nDRIVING WHAT YOU ARE HEARING,\nAND HOW TO FIX THEM. RIGHT NOW\nTHE SYSTEM IS IS STRUCTURED, 30\nYEARS IN AND PROVIDERS ARE\nSPENDING TIME SEARCHING FOR THE\nNEXT SITE. THAT INSTABILITY\nUNDERMINES ABILITY TO REBUILD.\nTHERE IS A PLANNING PROBLEM. WE\nSHOULD HAVE A ROLLING PIPELINE\nOF SITES AT LEAST A YEAR IN\nADVANCE, WITHOUT THAT WE ARE\nCONTINUING REPEATED CONFLICTS\nBETWEEN NEIGHBORS, PROVIDERS,\nAND AGENCIES. THERE IS SPACE,\nSEATTLE 83.9 SQUARE MILES, OVER\n40,000 FOOTBALL FIELDS. THE\nISSUE ISN'T LAND T IS HOW WE\nARE STRUCTURING ACCESS TO IT\nFROM PERMITTING AND CODE\nSTANDPOINT, THERE ARE WAYS TO\nMAKES SITES MORE VIABLE, FEW\nPRACTICAL CHANGES, LOWER, ALLOW\nHYGIENE AND OPERATE MORE\nEFFICIENTLY. OFFER INCENTIVES TO\nLAND OWNERS. CREATE A PERMIT IN\nPLACE OPTION, NEAR COMPLIANCE,\nSET CLEAR STANDARDS THAT ALLOW\nSITES TO STABILIZE WHERE THEY\nARE WHEN APPROPRIATE AND CREATE\nPATHWAY TO DEVELOP SITES DURING\nPERMITTING OR CONSTRUCTION\nDELAYS, WITHIN INCENTIVES LIKE\nREDUCTIONS AND LIABILITY\nCOVERAGE. THESE ARE SOLVABLE\nOPERATIONAL PROBLEMS. I WOULD BE\nINTERESTED IN CONTINUING THE\nCONVERSATION WITH ANYONE WORKING\nON IMPLEMENTATION. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT, JEFF, MATT,\nTHEN GARRET, JASON, NATHAN. HI,\nJEFF.\nHELLO. MY NAME IS JEFF. I\nWANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR\nTHE WORK YOU DO. I KNOW YOU PUT\nA TON IN AND WE ARE PRIVILEGED\nEVEN TO BE HERE TO HAVE A VENUE\nTO SPEAK. THANK YOU Y. AM A\nBUSINESS OWNER IN THE AREA, MY\nCONTEXT FOR SEATTLE, I AM\nFIVE-GENERATION SEATTLE PERSON,\nMY MOM WAS MS. BALLARD IN\nSEAFAIR PARADE, MY DAD WAS AN\nOLYMPIC ATHLETE FROM UW, OWNED A\nBUSINESS UP THE STREET. I LOVE\nSEATTLE. I FIGHT FOR SEATTLE,\nJOY KNOWS THIS. I STARTED A\nPRAYER GROUP THAT PRAYED FOR YOU\nALL BY NAME FOR 300 WEEKS IN A\nROW, THAT MEETS AT WEST LAKE\nCENTER AND WALKS THE AREA AND\nTHEN WE GO BACK TO OUR BUSINESS.\nI REPRESENT A GROUP CALLED\nKIROS, WHICH HAS 9,000 BUSINESS\nPEOPLE IN IT, IN THE PACIFIC\nNORTHWEST. IT IS A PRETTY GOOD\nCONSTITUENCY, ALL VOLUNTEER . IT\nIS WOMEN, MEN, DIFFERENT AGES,\nDIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, BUT WE\nCOME TOGETHER TO LEARN HOW TO\nENGAGE THE CITY. SO I JUST AM\nACTUALLY VOLUNTEERING TO ANY\nCOUNCIL PERSON THAT WOULD WANT\nTO MEET WITH ME, OR A GROUP OF\nBUSINESS PEOPLE TO SAY WE WANT\nTO PARTNER WITH YOU AND PARTNER\nWITH THE CITY. THE CITY IS WORTH\nFIGHTING FOR. I DEFEND BECAUSE I\nPRAY FOR YOU EVERY WEEK, LIKE\nFINALLY I GET TO ACTUALLY SEE\nTHE FACES. I WANT TO THANK YOU\nFOR YOUR GOOD WORK. WE ARE IN\nFOR THE LONG RUN, THANK YOU FOR\nWHAT ALL YOU DO. I AM HAPPY TO\nMEET WITH ANYBODY. THANK YOU.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU, JEFF.\nTHANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS. MATT,\nMY MAN, YOU ARE UP NEXT. WE NEED\nALL THE PRAYERS-- JUST PLAYING,\nMATT, GARRET, JASON, NATHAN.\nHELLO, MY NAME IS MATT, I\nALSO WANT TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL I\nAM FOR EACH OF YOU, I REPRESENT\nORGANIZATION THAT HAS COME\nTOGETHER THE LAST FEW YEARS\nCALLED TOGETHER FOR SEATTLE,\nTHIS IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE\nWITHIN THE FAITH COMMUNITY OF\nSEATTLE THAT ARE TRYING TO BUILD\nBRIDGES, NOT WALLS, AND, REALLY,\nSO I COME HERE AS A BRIDGE\nBUILDER, ALSO TO RAISE AWARENESS\nOF SOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS\nHAPPENING IN THE CITY. EACH\nMONTH THERE ARE PASTORS COMING\nTOGETHER THAT AREN'T INTO THE\nTOXIC NATIONAL IDEOLOGICAL\nDRAMA, BUT WANT TO DO GOOD FOR\nSEATTLE, THEY LOVE THE CITY,\nTHEY LOVE JESUS, THEY REALLY\nLOVE SEATTLE, THEY WANT TO SERVE\nTHIS CITY. EVERY MONTH AROUND\nHOMELESSNESS, HUMAN TRAFFICKING,\nAROUND HOW TO SUPPORT OUR\nIMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS, REALLY\nAPPRECIATED AWARENESS OF SEXUAL\nVIOLENCE WE HAVE CHURCHES THAT\nCARE DEEPLY ABOUT THESE ISSUES.\nTHEY WANT TO SERVE THE CITY.\nLIKE JEFF SAID, I WANT TO MAKE\nMYSELF AVAILABLE, IF YOU WANT TO\nBUILD BRIDGES, THE LEADERS\nCOMING TOGETHER IN YOUR\nDISTRICTS, I WANT TO BE\nAVAILABLE TO YOU AND APPRECIATE\nEVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, MATT. NEXT IS\nGARRET, JASON, NATHAN, SCOTT,\nSCOTT, AND JACK.\nI WAS BORN IN SEATTLE, ALMOST\n62 YEARS AGO, AND THIS SMIE\nFIRST TIME TO SEATTLE SILTY\nCOUNCIL MEETING, I AM SO\nGRATEFUL TO BE HERE. AS MY\nFRIENDS SHARED, WE ARE SO\nGRATEFUL FOR EACH ONE OF YOU Y.\nAM A . I PRAY FOR EACH ONE OF\nYOU BY NAME. WE VALUE AND\nAPPRECIATE THE HARD WORK THAT\nYOU ARE DOING AND THE\nCHALLENGING JOB THAT YOU HAVE\nBEFORE YOU. I AM ALSO, LIKE\nJEFF, FROM A LONG LINE OF\nSEATTLEITES, MY PARENTS MOVED\nHERE IN THE EARLY 1940s, I\nDIDN'T KNOW THIS, BUT MY MOM\nWAS A SEA-FAIR PRINCESS, MISS\nCHINATOWN. SHE GRADUATED FROM\nGARFIELD IN 1952 AND CHERYL CHOW\nIS A GOOD FRIEND, WAS A GOOD\nFRIEND OF OUR FAMILY AS WELL. SO\nTHANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THAT\nDEAR WOMAN THAT SHE WAS AND ALSO\nI WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR\nYOUR PROCLAMATION AGAINST SEXUAL\nVIOLENCE, WE HAVE HAD CLOSE\nFRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS\nAFFECTED AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO\nCONTINUE TO RAISE AWARENESS AND\nBRING THESE THINGS TO LIGHT. I\nHAVE BEEN A LIFE-LONG SEATTLE\nSPORTS FAN, MYSELF, I REMEMBER\nAS A LITTLE KID CLIMBING UNDER\nCOVERS WITH THE RADIO LISTENING\nTO SONICS GAME BUT I AM EXCITED\nABOUT THE WORLD CUP BEING HERE,\nI AM A LIFE LONG SOCCER PLAYER\nAS WELL. THERE IS A GROUP THAT\nGATHERED TOGETHER, WE GO BY\nVICTORYSEATTLE.ORG, A COALITION\nOF PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER\nUNITING THE FAITH COMMUNITY,\nBUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN DIVERSE\nNEIGHBORS, HAVING WATCH PARTIES,\nWORKING WITH DIFFERENT\nNON-PROFITS, FIGHTING HUMAN\nTRAFFICKING. WE ARE EXCITED FOR\nTHE CUP AND WHAT WILL COME WITH\nTHAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE JASON\nFOLLOWED BY NATHAN AND THEN\nSCOTT.\nI HATE IT WHEN IT DOES THAT: I HATE IT WHEN IT DOES THAT.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL MEMBERS,\nMY NAME IS JASON, LIFE LONG\nRESIDENT OF KING COUNTY, MOST OF\nMY CAREER WORKING IN SEATTLE,\nPROUD MEMBER AND SERVE AS A\nLEADWER UA LOCAL 32 PLUMBERS AND\nHVAC. I URGE YOU TO ACT NOW ON\nINFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS BY\nINVESTING IN THE SEATTLE CENTER.\nWE NEED A ADDRESS AGING\nFACILITIES AND PUT ICING ON THE\nCAGE. I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE\nSINCE I WAS A KID AND HAVE A LOT\nOF FOUND MEMORIES, A PLACE THAT\nBRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER AND\nDRIVES LOCAL ECONOMY THROUGH\nEVENTS, TOURISM&SMALL BUSINESS\nACTIVITY. LIKE ME, 25-YEAR\nPIPEFITTER, IT SHOWING ITS AGE.\nACT NOW SO YOU CAN PROVIDE OUR\nFUTURE CHILDREN SIMILAR\nMEMORIES. WAITING ONLY MAKES\nTHINGS WORSE, DEFERRED\nMAINTENANCE DOES NOT GET\nCHEAPER, CONSTRUCTION COST AND\nINTEREST RATES ARE UNPREDICTABLE\nAND DELAY S TODAY WILL MEAN\nHIGHER COSTS TOMORROW. INVESTING\nNOW LOWS US TO IMPROVE SAFETY,\nACCESSIBILITY, AND COMMUNITY\nUSE. IT KEEPS SKILLED WORKERS ON\nTHE JOB, SUPPORTS APPRENTICESHIP\nPROGRAMS THAT TRAIN FOR THE NEXT\nGENERATION. THE ECONOMY IN A\nSLUMP, MANY MEMBERS ARE READY TO\nGO TO WORK RIGHT NOW, PUT THIS\nON THE BALLOT MEANS THESE\nPROJECTS CAN START SOONER AND\nSUPPORT FAMILY WAGE UNION JOBS\nHERE AT HOME. THIS IS THE RIGHT\nTIME TO INVEST IN OUR\nINFRASTRUCTURE, OUR WORKFORCE,\nAND OUR FUTURE, I URGE YOU TO\nACT NOW, THANK YOU.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU. NEXT WE\nHAVE NATHAN FOLLOWED BY SCOTT,\nTHEN SCOTT, THEN JACK.\nTHANK YOU. FIRST, I WANT TO\nREITERATE MY CALL FOR MAYOR\nWILSON TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON HER\nCAMPAIGN PROMISE AND TURN OFF\nTHE CAMERAS, THIS IS NOT A GOOD\nTIME TO INCREASE SURVEILLANCE\nUNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.\nI WANT TO REITERATE I DON'T\nTRUST THE SEATTLE POLICE\nDEPARTMENT TO COMPLY IN GOOD\nFAITH WITH KEEP WASHINGTON\nWORKING ACT WITH PROFESSIONALISM\nSTANDARDS OR WITH THE\nRECENTLY-PASSED BILLS BY THE\nSEATTLE CITY COUNCIL, WHICH HAVE\nBEEN PRETTY GOOD. I DON'T TRUST\nTHE SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO\nCOMPLY WITH IT. SO HOW DO WE GET\nTHEM TO DO THAT AS A CITY? HOW\nDO WE MAKE SURE OFFICERS COMPLY\nWITH THESE RULES? YOU KNOW, I\nUNDERSTAND IT IS PROBABLY NOT\nCONSTITUTIONAL TO SAY WE CAN\nJUST FIRE OFFICERS FOR THEIR\nPOLITICAL BELIEFS BUT THERE\nTHOOZ BE SOME WAY THEY HAVE BODY\nCAMERAS, IFEEL LIKE THIS IS\nSOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE\nMORE CONCERNED ABOUT, ESPECIALLY\nWITH THE WORLD CUP COMING UP. WE\nNEED TO EXPECT I.C.E COULD COME\nTO SEATTLE IN LARGE NUMBERS\nDURING THE WORLD CUP, AND THAT\nIS SOMETHING WE NEED TO PREPARE\nFOR. I GUESS THIS MIGHT NOT BE\nPROP TO SAY BUT I AM NOT\nTERRIBLY EXCITED WITH THE WORLD\nCUP WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON IN\nTHE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW I THINK\nFOLKS SHOULD NOT BE COMING TO\nTHIS COUNTRY. I THINK WE SHOULD\nBE EXPERIENCING BOYCOTTS AND I\nTHINK THE WORLD CUP SHOULD BE\nBOYCOTTED BY PEOPLE. SO, THAT\nSMIE PERSONAL OPINION, I DON'T\nTHINK THIS WILL BE VERY POPULAR\nHERE, BUT EITHER WAY WE NEED TO\nPREPARE FOR IT. FUCK I.C.E.\nTHANK YOU, NATHAN. NEXT,\nSCOTT, FOLLOWED BY SCOTT, THEN\nJACK. HEY, SCOTT.\nI AM SCOTT BUZZARD, TODAY\nHERE TO DEMAND THE CITY COUNCIL\nTAKE AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION\nAGAINST INCREASING SURVEILLANCE,\nAND TO CUT TIES WITH AX ON\nCOMPANY THAT SUPPLY THE CAMERAS\nBECAUSE THE CAMERAS, THE\nTECHNOLOGY IS A TOOL OF\nGENOCIDE. THE CAMERAS CONTRIBUTE\nTO THE DEATH OF THOUSANDS OF\nCHILDREN AND FAMILIES THROUGH\nTHE DADDY'S HOME TACTIC USED BY\nISRAELI MILITARY TO KILL\nPALESTINIAN MEN. IF YOU\nREPRESENTED THE INTEREST OF THE\nPEOPLE, AS YOU CLAIM YOU DO, YOU\nWOULD UNDERSTAND THE PEOPLE'S\nCONCERNS WITH THE VERY SIM\nTECHNOLOGY BEING USED IN OUR\nCITY. YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THE\nCONCERNS WITH LACK OF TANGIBLE\nMEASURE TAKEN AGAINST\nPRIVATEIZED SURVEILLANCE. THE\nCAMERAVISE BEEN PROVEN TO BE\nUSED BY I.C.E AND DHS IN ILLEGAL\nKIDNAPPING OF IMMIGRANT\nCOMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.\nAS UNIVERSITY STUDENT I CAN\nATTEST TO MY FACULTY AND FRIENDS\nBEING DETAINED AND HOW THE\nTECHNOLOGY MIGHT HAVE BEEN USED\nMAKES ME SICK. NO PERSON IN THE\nCITY SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE IN FEAR\nTHAT CAMERAS WILL USED TO\nHARASS. TO COMBAT POTENTIAL\nTERRORISM, IS ANOTHER EXCUSE\nMADE TO JUSTIFY MILITARYISM AND\nSECURITY EXPANSION. WE SEE WITH\nTHE MEDIA RHETORIC ON ECONOMIC\nTERRORISM, THE GREAT WAR ON\nTERROR JUSTIFYING ANOTHER\nATTACK. CEMENTMATIC OF THE\nDEMONTEIC PARTARY, YOU AS A\nWHOLE, WHERE WEAK SPINES\nPREVAIL. WE MUST REMOVE THE\nSECURITY SYSTEM BY ANY MEANS\nNECESSARY TO PROTECT THE WORKING\nCLASS. MUST REMOVE THE SECURITY\nSYSTEMS WHOSE ONLY BENEFIT IS\nLINE THE POCKETS OF A FEW WHILE\nMASSES SUFFER UNDER STATE\nVIOLENCE. LONG LIVE THE WORKING\nCLASS.\nTHANK YOU, SCOTT. NEXT WE\nHAVE SCOTT SHULER FOLLOWED BY\nJACK, DID I SAY YOUR NAME RIGHT?\nSKYLER: SKYLER.\nSO SORRY: SO SORRY.\nNOBODY GETS IT RIGHT: NOBODY GETS IT RIGHT.\nYOU ARE GOOD. WELCOME.\nTHANK YOU. HAWN TO BE HERE,\nGOOD AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS SCOTT\nSKYLER, MEMBER OF THE UPPER\nSKAGIT INDIAN TRIBE AND ELDER\nAND POLICY REP. I WOULD LIKE TO\nTALK ABOUT THE SEATTLE CITY\nLIGHT NEGOTIATEED SETTLEMENT,\nWHICH WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF AND\nHOPE THE CITY COUNCIL SEEKS TO\nAPPROVE THIS TODAY AND LOOKING\nFORWARD TO IMPLEMENTATION BUT\nTHE UPPER SKAGIT PEOPLE ARE\nPEOPLE LINED THE SKAGIT RIVER UP\nTO THE SEATTLE CITY LIGHT\nPROJECT AREA, WHAT IS SEATTLE\nCITY LIGHT NEGOTIATEED\nSETTLEMENT MEAN TO US? HAS GONE\nON A FOR EIGHT YEARS BUT TAKEN\nOEVER A HUNDRED YEARS FOR IT TO\nCOME TO FRUITION. EVERYTHING\nTHAT HAPPENED SINCE 1921 WHEN\nTHE DAMS WERE FIRST BUILT HAD TO\nHAPPEN TO GET US TO THIS POINT\nIN TIME. EVERYTHING NEEDED TO\nOCCUR TO MAKE THE SETTLEMENT\nPOSSIBLE, SO IF WE DO MOVE\nIMPLEMENTATION OF THE\nSETTLEMENT, WHAT IT MEANS TO THE\nUPPER SKAGIT PEOPLE, IT GIVES\nBACK OUR IDENTITY, ABOUT\nRESTORATIVE JUSTICE TO US, WE\nARE LOOKING FORWARD TO FULL\nIMPLEMENTATION AS QUICKLY AS\nPOSSIBLE AND ADDRESSING\nLONG-TERM HARMS. IT ACKNOWLEDGES\nWHAT THE DAMS WERE BUILT VALLEY\nOF SPIRIT, ACKNOWLEDGE OUR\nCULTURE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,\nTHE BEST PART OF THE SETTLEMENT,\nWE CAN COME HOME FOR THE FIRST\nTIME IN WELL OVER A HUNDRED\nYEARS, SO, THANK YOU, LOOK\nFORWARD TO YOUR SUPPORT.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH.\nWE HAVE MR. JACK.\nYEAH: YEAH.\nWELCOME: WELCOME.\nHONORABLE COUNCIL MEMBERS: HONORABLE COUNCIL MEMBERS.\nTHE CITY OF SEATTLE BLOCKED THE\nSKAGIT RIVER TO SALMON OVER A\nCENTURY AGO. EVEN THEN IN 1919\nSTATE LAW PROHIBITED BLOCKAGE OF\nSALMON-BEARING STREAMS. CITY\nLIGHTS FOUNDING FATHER, JD ROSS,\nKNEW IT WAS PROHIBITED, BUT DID\nIT ANYWAY. BUT OUR PEOPLE,\nWITHIN WHOSE TERRITORY YOUR\nHYDROELECTRIC FACILITIES WERE\nNOT CONSULTED. HOWEVER, LIKE\nSEATTLE, WE HAVE BEEN GATHERING\nPOWER FOR A HUNDRED YEARS. WE\nNOW KNOW, AS DOES THE STATE OF\nWASHINGTON, FROM WHAT IS CALLED\nTHE COVERTS CASE, THAT OUR\nTREATIES HAVE POWER. THE SKAGIT\nRIVER OF THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS,\nTHAT IS OUR BLACK HILLS. IT IS\nTHE AMAZON OF THE PACIFIC\nNORTHWEST, AND WE WILL NOT STOP\nFIGHTING FOR ITS PROTECTION\nBECAUSE, LIKE THE SALMON, WATER\nIS SACRED.

I DON'T\nWANT TO REPEAT A LOT OF STUFF\nTHAT MY BROTHERS AND SISTER SAID\nEARLIER BUT I AM HERE IN STRONG\nSUPPORT OF BRINGING SEATTLE\nCENTER BOND INITIATIVE THIS\nNOVEMBER. LETS BRING SONICS BACK\nTO AN AREA TO SEATTLE CENTER\nCAMPUS THAT IS GOING TO BE WORLD\nCLASS. I THINK WE WILL HAVE A\nGENERATION WHERE WE ARE AT WITH\nCLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA, BUILDING A\nSECOND MEMORIAL STADIUM BUT HAVE\nTHE BONES OF THE SEATTLE CENTER\nTHAT IS NOW 64 YEARS OLD. IT IS\nNOT JUST ABOUT BRINGING\nCONSTRUCTION JOBS TO DO THE WORK\nTHERE, IT IS ABOUT THE EMPLOYEES\nCURRENTLY, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A\nLOT OF REPRESENTED FOLKS THERE,\nSTAGE HANDS, MUSICIANS,\nMAINTENANCE WORKERS, FOLKS THAT\nWORK AT THE ARMORY, THAT THOSE\nNUMBERS AND REVENUE COMING IN\nARE DWINDLING BECAUSE THE\nSEATTLE CENTER WITH THE AGING\nINFRASTRUCTURE HAS TO COMPETE\nWITH ALL THE DIFFERENT NEW\nARENAS IN THE AREA, ALL THE NEW\nPARKS AND EVENT SPACES THAT HAVE\nBEEN PUT IN PLACE SINCE THE\n1960s WHEN ORIGINALLY BUILT. WE\nNEED SEATTLE TO COMPETE. IF WE\nADD THE SONICS AND KNOW ONCE WE\nADD THE SONICS, CLIMATE PLEDGE\nALINA WILL BE TOP FIVE IN THE\nWORLD AS FAR AS EVENTS COMING TO\nSEATTLEMENT MADISON SQUARE\nGARDEN AND A COUPLE OTHERS BUT\nOVER 250 EVENTS EVERY SINGLE\nYEAR RIGHT THERE AT CLIMATE\nPLEDGE ARENA AND NEED TO BRING\nTHEM TO A WORLD CLASS FACILITY.\nPLEASE WORK WITH THE 7th FLOOR\nAND TRY TO FIGURE A WAY TO GET\nTHIS PUSHED FORWARD INTO\nNOVEMBER AND ON THE BALLOT,\nSTRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT.\nGABRIEL, YVETTE, RACHEL, THEN\nONLINE SPEAKERS.\nFIRSTLY, CANNOT START WITHOUT\nASKING FOLKS TO SAY A PRAYER FOR\nTHE PEOPLE OF IRAN AFTER OUR\nPRESIDENT THREATENED GENOCIDE\nAGAINST THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. NOW\nMANY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE SPOKEN\nAGAINST I.C.E, SOME ISSUES,\nREASONS WE HAVE SPOKEN OUT IS\nI.C.E IS UNACCOUNTABLE,\nDANGEROUS, INJURED AND HURT\nPEOPLE AND CAN GET AWAY WITH\nWHATEVER THEY WANT BECAUSE THEY\nHAVE POLITICAL POWER BEHIND\nTHEM. MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN WE\nGIVE THOSE ARGUMENTS ABOUT I.C.E\nBUT NOT ABOUT SPD? Y'ALL Y AM\nSURE ALL OF YOU SAW THIS IMAGE,\nTHIS IS THE IMAGE OF SOMEONE\nBEING PEPPER PRAYED WHILE ON THE\nGROUND, TWO WOMEN, WHILE ON THE\nGROUND. WE TALK ABOUT\nUNACCOUNTABILITY OF I.C.E, BUT I\nWILL SHARE TWO FACTS THAT\nSURPRISE NOBODY THAT WAS THERE\nTHAT DAY. ONE, OPA FOUND NO\nWRONG DOING FOR THE OFFICER\nSPRAYING THE PERSON ON THE\nGROUND, THEY WILL NOT RECEIVE\nDISCIPLINARY ACTION, HIS BODY\nCAM WAS OFF . WE HAVE SO MANY\nPEOPLE ON THIS, WHO HAD AROUND\nTHE AREA, HAD BODY CAM ON BUT\nSURPRISINGLY THE OFFICERS WAS\nOFF. HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE,\nOFFICER CALY HEINZMAN WASCUSED\nOF PUNCHING PROTESTERS ON THE\nHEAD WHOOL ON THE GROUND, HAND\nRESTRAINED, ALSO, NO BODY CAM.\nTHERE A CONSTANT HISTORY OF\nPOLICE TURNING OFF BODY CAM OR\nNOT TURNING THEM ON DURING\nMOMENTS WHEN THEY WANT TO GET\nROUGH WITH PEOPLE. ANOTHER CASE\nINVESTIGATED BY OPA WHEN AN\nOFFICER SHOT SOMEBODY DURING THE\nPROTESTS IN THE BACK OF THE\nWEAPON WHILE SHOT IN THE BACK,\nHE WAS GIVEN NOTICE ASHGZ FOR\nSHOOTING HIM IN THE BACK ONLY\nGIVEN A SUPERVISOR WARNING,\nSTERN TALKING TO FOR NOT WARNING\nHE WOULD SHOOT HIM IN THE BACK\nWHILE RUNNING AWAY, NOT\nCOMMITTING A CRIME. LASTING\nMEDICAL ISSUES, BECOME DISABLED\nLEAVING ME WITH SOME CONSTANT\nAMNESIA I HAD TO LEAVE MY JOB. I\nDON'T KNOW IF I AM GOING TO\nWORK AGAIN. WE NEED TO--\nTHANK YOU, GABRIEL.

ONE ALTERNATIVE\nIS BUILD TINY HOMES IS TOP\nSHEDS, THEY PROVIDE STYLES AND\nVISUALLY APPEALING, PLUS COST\nEFFECTIVE. THE ONES I SAW AT\nLOWES $2400 TO $5,000,\nPOTENTIALLY 500 BY MAY 1.

LAST WEEK I WAS\nVERY THANKFUL TO HAVE CITY\nCOUNCIL BRING OUT THE TRANSDAY\nOF PROCLAMATION, THE\nPROCLAMATION FOR THE TRANSDAY OF\nDISABILITY, AND THAT WAS VERY\nGOOD, VERY HELPFUL, HOWEVER, WE\nARE SEEING IN THE WORLD THAT\nWORDS ARE DOING SO MUCH BUT WE\nNEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE DOING\nACTION. THE PROCLAMATION TODAY\nABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS\nIS ALSO HELPFUL. THAT IS\nSOMETHING THAT, AS A TRANS\nPERSON IS AN ENDEMIC, A LOT OF\nUS EXPERIENCE SEXUAL ASSAULT,\nSOMETHING WE ARE VERY COMMON\nWITH. AS WE ARE LOOKING FOR\nTHINGS TO BE DOING IN THE\nFUTURE, WE HAVE TO BE NOT JUST\nDOING WHAT LITTLE PIECE THINGS\nLITTLE BY LITTLE, WE ALSO HAVE\nTO BE WORKING AS QUICKLY AS WE\nCAN TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS.\nTHERE ARE REAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE\nGOING TO NEED IMMEDIATE ACTION.\nI DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL ARE\nAWARE, WE HAVE EIGHT DAYS BEFORE\nTHE STOCK PILE OF GAS RUNS OUT\nIN THE U.S. IT IS IMPERATIVE\nTHAT WE, AS A CITY, THAT ALL THE\nCITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYER\nAND EVERYBODY GET TOGETHER TO\nTRY AND WORK ON THAT, TO TRY AND\nSEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO GET AHEAD\nOF THIS, BECAUSE WE ARE REACHING\nA SITUATION THAT PEOPLE ARE\nCOMPARING TO THE BEGINNING OF\nCOVID. WE ARE HAVING THINGS, AN\nENTIRELY NEW WORLD SHOWN BEFORE\nUS, IF WE DO NOT GET AHEAD T IS\nGOING TO SWAMP UP. FOR THE\nTRANSCOMMUNITY, WE EXPERIENCE\nTHIS TOO, RIGHT AFTER THE\nTRANSDAY OF DISABILITY\nPROCLAMATION, IDAHO PASSED THE\nBATHROOM BAN BILL AND WE NEED\nTHE HELP OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS\nAND MAY TO GET AHEAD OF THIS AND\nHELP WITH EVERYBODY.

ALL OF THESE REPEAT\nOFFENDING CRIMINALS THAT ARE\nRUINING THE PURSUIT TO HAPPINESS\nAND DESTROYING LIVES DALEY END\nUP GETTING OUTF JAIL AND ON THE\nLIST, ARE NOT BEING QUESTIONED\nTO FIND WHERE THEY KEEP GETTING\nIT TO SHUT IT DOWN. IT IS\nEXACERBATING THE CRISIS IN\nHOMELESSNESS, HOUSING, IN THE\nREACTIVATION AND WHOLE GENERAL\nPUBBING ALL HEALTH OF WELLBEING\nOF COMMUNITY. IT IS NOT FAIR THE\nCHIEF KEEPS GETTING A PASS FOR\nMANIPULATING MEDIA REPORT HAVING\nSUCCESS WITH CRIME BECAUSE THE\nCRIME HOTSPOTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE\nCALLING FROM, WHERE CRIME IS\nTAKING PLACE, IS BEING\nMANIPULATED BY SUVS THERE. THE\nTHING IS, WE NEED TO TAKE THE\nRESTRICTIONS OFF THE\nCOMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT THE\nSMALL-TIME LANDLORDS AND THEIR\nSELF-DEALING CONFLICTS OF\nINTEREST CONSPIRE TO CUT SIN\nHALF FROM 12 STORIES TO SIX\nSTORIES, AND THEN WATER DOWN\nINTEGRITY OF THE DESIGN TO HELP\nUNQUALIFIED NON-PROFITS\nPOLITICALLY CONNECTED TO BUILD\nCRAPPY HOUSING FOR THE NEXT 20\nYEARS TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T\nCOMPETE WITH THE LANDLORDS ON\nCITY COUNCIL TRYING TO CREATE\nTHEIR OWN REAL ESTATE EMPIRE AT\nTHE EXPENSE OF EVERYBODY ELSE\nBEING DENIED A BETTER CHOICE IN\nHOUSING, AND REAL EQUITY.\nTHANK YOU, NEXT, CHARLOTTE,\nFOLLOWED BY JOE.\nTHANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT,\nMEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, MY NAME\nIS CHARLOTTE Y LIVE IN D3 AND\nWORSHIP IN D4.

I SAY THAT BECAUSE THE\nLAST LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR\nCOLLEAGUES, ROSS LAKE, SO LARGE\nIT GOES FROM ALMOST SKAGIT\nCOUNTY, BUT WHATCOM, TO CANADA,\nTHE LAST LICENSE THERE WAS A\nCONSERVATION AGREEMENT THAT\nCONSERVED AS MUCH LAND AS ROSS\nLAKE OCCUPIES. SO IT IS HARD TO\nSEE IT ALL IN ONE PLACE BUT WHEN\nYOU LOOK AT THE LAKE ON A MAP,\nYOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH WAS\nACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST\nLICENSE, AND THIS AGREEMENT GOES\nEVEN FURTHER. YOUR WILLINGNESS\nTO WORK WITH US IN AN OFF\nLICENSE AGREEMENT AND YOUR\nCOMMITMENT TO HOLD US TO ACCOUNT\nIS WHAT MAKES THIS MOMENT\nINCREDIBLY SPECIAL. IT IS WHAT\nMAKES THIS AGREEMENT HISTORIC,\nAND WE WILL LIVE BETTER LIVES,\nOUR FUTURE GENERATION WILL BE\nBETTER OFF, BECAUSE OF THE WORK\nTHAT YOU DID IN THIS AGREEMENT.\nAND THANK YOU, CHRIS, FOR\nGETTING US TO THE CITY BEING IN\nAGREEMENT WITH TLEM. I REALLY\nWANT TO SETTLE ON THAT, THOUGH.\nFUTURE GENERATIONS ARE GOING TO\nBE BETTER BECAUSE OF THE\nPOSITIONS YOU HAVE HELD OVER THE\nLAST DECADE, AND HOW YOU HAVE\nHELD US TO ACCOUNT IN THIS\nAGREEMENT. SO FROM THE BOTTOM OF\nMY HEART, THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER\nSTRAUSS.

ONE THING, I AM NOT GOING\nINTO SPEECH I GAVE DURING\nCOMMITTEE BUT I WILL SAY THIS,\nWATCHING PUBLIC UTILITIES ARMY\nCORPS OF ENGINEERS AND FOLKS IN\nTHE 30s, 40s, AND 50s, AND WHAT\nTHEY DID TO MAINSTREAM AND RIVER\nSYSTEMS IN THE STATE, AND OTHER\nSTATES, I WANT TO SAY VERGES ON\nVIOLENCE BECAUSE IT DID MORE\nTHAN JUST TAKE FISH. ONE THING\nTHAT COMES TO MIND IS WHEN\nTACOMA CITY LIGHT MOVED THE\nMIDDLE FORK OF THE RIVER, AND\nWHAT THAT DID TO THE PEOPLE. SO\nTHAT BEING SAID, THERE IS ONE\nNICE THING ABOUT GETTING OLD IS\nYOU DO HAVE WISDOM AND WE DO\nKNOW YOU LEARN MORE FROM YOUR\nFAILURES THAN YOU DO YOUR\nSUCCESSES AND FOR LONGEVITY OF\nTHE PEOPLE AND WHAT UNCLE BILLY\nUSED TO SAY IS NATIVE PEOPLE\nDON'T HAVE A PIONEER STORY, WE\nWERE HERE, AND AS UNCLE BILLY\nUSED TO SAY, WE ARE NOT A\nTRANSIENT COMMUNITY OR GROUP, WE\nWILL LIVE AND DIE ON THOSE\nRIVERS BECAUSE IT IS HOME, AND\nSO YOU BEING HERE TODAY AND YOUR\nWORDS AND COOPERATION ALONG WITH\nTHE OTHER TWO TRIBES AND THE\nCITY, FOR ME IS A LONG JOURNEY,\nI RAISE MY HANDS TO YOU.

THANK\nYOU. THIS RESOLUTION IS\nIMPORTANT AND I AM EXCITED TO\nBRING PFORWARD FOR A NUMBER OF\nREASONS. ONE IS WE KNOW TAX\nFRAUD LEADS TO LOST REVENUE FOR\nCOMMUNITY, WHICH IS CRITICALLY\nNEEDED TO FUND ESSENTIALLY\nSERVICES. ANOTHER IS THAT IT\nCONTRIBUTES TO THE EXPLOITATION\nOF WORKERS WHEN THEY ARE PAID\nUNDER THE TABLE AND WHEN THEY\nLOSE ACCESS TO FAIR WAGES,\nHEALTHCARE, BENEFITS, AND SAFE\nWORKING CONDITIONS. THESE HARMS\nCAN DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT\nPEOPLE OF CULLER AND\nUNDOCUMENTED WORKERS AND I\nBELIEVE THAT WE MUST INSURE THAT\nOUR STRONG LABOR STANDARDS AND\nWORKER PROTECTIONS IN THE CITY\nOF SEATTLE APPLY TO EVERYONE. I\nAM EXCITED TO SHARE THE MAYOR\nSIGNED ON TO THE PROCLAMATION\nAND I ASK FOR MY COLLEAGUE'S\nSUPPORT.

SO, WHEREAS THE\nCONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY PLAYS A\nVITAL ROLE IN BUILDING AND\nSUSTAINING THE INFRASTRUCTURE\nECONOMY, AND COMMUNITIES OF THE\nCITY, WHEREAS COMMUNITIES ARE\nDISPROPORTIONED, EXCUSE ME,\nCOMMUNITIES DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY\nCONTRACTORS WHO FAIL TO FOLLOW\nTHE LAW, PAY WORKERS UNDER THE\nTABLE OR MISCLASSIFY EMPLOYEES\nCREATING INSTABILITY FOR WORK\nSXRZ FAMILIES, AND WHEREAS\nWORKERS SUBJECTED TO THE\nPRACTICES OFTEN LOSE ACCESS TO\nFAIR WAGES, HEALTHCARE,\nRETIREMENT BENEFITS, AND SAFE\nWORKING CONDITIONS, IMPACTING\nNOT ONLY INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES BUT\nENTIRE COMMUNITIES. AND WHEREAS\nORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE UNITED\nBROTHERHOOD OF CARPINEERS\nINCLUDING NORTHCOATS STATE\nREGIONAL COUNCIL OF CARPINEERS\nLED EFFORTS TO EBPOSE TAX FRAUD,\nEDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND ADVOCATE\nFOR STRONGER ENFORCEMENT WHEREAS\nTHE CITY OF SEATTLE REMAINS\nCOMMITTED TO UPHOLDING STRONG\nLABOR STANDARDS, SUPPORTING FAIR\nAND RESPONSIBLE EXNOMIC\nDEVELOPMENT, THEREFORE THE MAYOR\nAND CITY COUNCIL PROCLAIM APRIL\n6 THROUGH 18th, 2026, TO BE TAX\nFRAUD DAYS OF ACTION.

THE REASON I WANT TO\nADDRESS THE ROOM IS THAT I AM\nHOPING THAT ALL OF YOU, I KNOW,\nMANY LISTEN TO NPR AND KEOW,\nFINISHED A SEVEN-PART EPISODE\nCALLED ADULTS IN THE ROOM,\nREGARDING GARFIELD HIGH SCHOOL.\nAND I SAY THIS BECAUSE ONE OF\nOUR FORMER COUNCIL MEMBERS AND\nPRINCIPLE THERE, CHERYL CHOW,\nWAS ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE TO\nSTAND FOR STUDENTS THAT WERE\nSUBJECTED TO SEXUAL ASSAULT, TO\nGROOMING, AND IT CONTINUED, AND\nIT CONTINUES TODAY. THIS KEOW\nEXPOSE AOF TWO FOLKS WHO WENT TO\nHIGH SCHOOL AT GARFIELD, ONE WHO\nIS NOW REPORTER, I CAN'T THINK\nOF HER NAME, ZELDA RAFFERTY, YOU\nWERE AROUND, THIS IS ABOUT THE\nTIME YOU GRADUATED FROM HIGH\nSCHOOL. I THINK IT IS SO\nPROFOUND THAT IN MARCH OF APRIL,\n2026, THAT WE ARE STILL\nGRAPPLING WITH EVEN POST ME TOO,\nWITHOUT GOING INTO MY OWN\nEXPERIENCE AS AN OLDER WOMAN\nNOW, NOW WE HAVE THE LANGUAGE\nAND THE WORDS TO GRASP WHAT\nGROOMING IS. WE HAVE THE\nLANGUAGE WHERE WE CAN GO BEYOND\nWHAT IS JUST INAPPROPRIATE. NOW\nWE HAVE LAWS AND RULES IN PLACE\nTO SAY YOU ARE A MANDATORY\nREPORTER, THAT YOU HAVE TO DO\nTHAT, AND IT STILL PERSISTS. SO\nI AM HOPING THOSE OF YOU WHO\nHAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO\nLISTEN TO KEOW CALLED ADULTS IN\nTHE ROOM, SEVEN EPISODES YOU GET\nA CHANCE TO DO THAT,\nPROCLAMATIONS ARE IMPORTANT,\nRESOLUTIONS ARE IMPORTANT, BUT\nMOST IMPORTANT THING IS\nEDUCATION AND THAT WE CONTINUE\nTO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AND I\nHAVE SAID THIS BEFORE, I WILL\nSAY IT MANY TIMES, YOU CAN\nALWAYS JUDGE A SOCIETY ABOUT HOW\nTHEY TREAT THEIR WOMEN AND THEIR\nGIRLS. THIS IS A TRUISM\nTHROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND\nTHROUGHOUT TIME. SO THANK YOU,\nCOUNCIL PRESIDENT.\nTHANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER\nJUAREZ.

THEY ARE HARD TO\nFOLLOW UP BUT I DID WANT TO JUST\nSAY I WAS RECENTLY AT THE BE\nLOUD BREAKFAST. WHEN IT COMES TO\nTHAT PART OF THE BREAKFAST WHERE\nTHEY ASK ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN\nTOUCHED BY OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO\nHAS BEEN A VICTIM OF SEXUAL\nASSAULT, PLEASE STAND. THERE ARE\nVERY FEW PEOPLE IN THE ROOM THAT\nREMAIN SITTING, TO SHOW YOU THE\nLEVEL OF HOW SEXUAL ASSAULT\nIMPACTS WOMEN AND GIRLS AND BOYS\nAND MEN IN OUR SOCIETY. SO I\nREALLY-- TO YOUR POINT, COUNCIL\nMEMBER JUAREZ, A RESOLUTION,\nTHESE ARE JUST WORDS, ACTIONS\nMEAN MORE, AND JUST I AM\nGRATEFUL, AS AN OLDER WOMAN\nMYSELF, THAT WE DO HAVE THE LAWS\nTO HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE, WHO\nENGAGE IN WRONG ACTIONS. I HAVE\nTWO DAUGHTERS MYSELF, SO THIS IS\nREALLY MEANINGFUL TO ME, AND IT\nIS NOT JUST WORDS FOR ME, THIS\nIS SOMETHING THAT I CARE DEEPLY\nABOUT, AND THAT WE SHOULD BE\nDOING MORE JUST THAN WORDS\nAROUND. I AM GLAD THAT WE HAVE\nTHE LAWS NOW, TO HOLD PEOPLE\nACCOUNTABLE, AND THAT WE CAN ALL\nSPEAK UP WHEN WE SEE THERE IS\nSOMETHING WRONG, BECAUSE WHEN I\nWAS GROWING UP, IF YOU SAID\nANYTHING, NOBODY EITHER BELIEVED\nYOU OR ASKED WHAT YOU WERE\nWEARING OR THAT YOU ASKED FOR\nIT, AND IT WENT UNADDRESSED,\nTHIS HAPPENED ACROSS COLLEGE\nCAMPUSES IN THIS COUNTRY AND\nHAPPENS STILL TODAY, AND IT IS\nNOT OKAY, AND WE NEED DO BETTER.\nSO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE\nRESOLUTION AS THE REMINDER THAT\nWE NEED TO CONTINUE TO DO\nBETTER, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

AS A COMMISSION THAT IS\nDEDICATED TO GENDER EQUITY, WE\nKNOW THAT SEXUAL VIOLENCE IS NOT\nONLY A PERSONAL TRAUMA, BUT A\nSYSTEMIC ISSUE THAT REQUIRES\nCOMMUNITY-WIDE COMMITMENT,\nTHOUGHTFUL POLICY, AND SURVIVOR\nCENTERED RESPONSES. THIS MONTH\nIS A REMINDER THAT SEXUAL\nVIOLENCE IS NOT INEVITABLE, BUT\nPREVENTABLE. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR\nTHE COUNCIL'S LEADERSHIP AND\nPARTNERSHIP, AND WE APPRECIATE\nYOUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO\nMAKING SEATTLE A CITY WHERE ALL\nPEOPLE CAN LIVE, WORK, FREE FROM\nVIOLENCE. THANK YOU FOR STANDING\nWITH SURVIVORS AND HELPING\nASSURE AWARENESS LEADS TO\nMEANINGFUL ACTION.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nHI. MY NAME IS WHITNEY. I\nHAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING PART\nOF THE SEATTLE WOMEN'S\nCOMMISSION. WE ARE A DIVERSE\nGROUP WHO VOLUNTEER AS\nCOMMISSIONERS BECAUSE WE CARE\nDEEPLY ABOUT OUR COMMUNITIES AND\nLOVE OUR CITY. WE KNOW YOU DO\nTOO. THANK YOU, COUNCIL, FOR\nYOUR COMMITMENT TO MAKING\nSEATTLE A SAFE AND WELCOMING\nPLACE FOR EVERYBODY. THANK YOU\nFOR RECOGNIZING APRIL AS SEXUAL\nASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH.\nADDRESSING ISSUES OF SAFETY AND\nWELLBEING AS PRIORITY FOR THE\nCOMMISSION, OUR FOCUS AREAS AND\nWORK PLANS ARE LARGELY\nCONTINUATION OF WHAT COMMUNITY\nWAS ELEVATING OVER 50 YEARS AGO\nWHEN THE SEATTLE WOMEN'S\nCOMMISSION WAS FORMED. THIS IS\nINCLUDED ADVOCATEING FOR THE\nDEVELOPMENT OF A WOMAN'S\nSHELTER FOR SURVIVORS OF\nDOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE 70s,\nHISTORY OF STRONG COLLABORATION\nWITH HSD AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE\nON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL\nASSAULT TO RESPOND TO COMMUNITY\nCONCERNS AND UPLIFT COMMUNITY\nSOLUTIONS VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL\nCAMPAIGNS, PUBLIC EVENTS, AND\nCOMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO\nPROMOTE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION\nOF GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. THIS\nTOPIC CONTINUES TO BE A FOCUS\nFOR OUR COMMISSION, BECAUSE THE\nCRISIS REMAINS PERVASIVE AND\nURGENT. AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE\nSTATISTICS IN TODAY'S\nPROCLAMATION. THE IMPACTS OF\nGENDER-BASED VIOLENCE ARE FELT\nIN EVERY DISTRICT IN EVERY\nNEIGHBORHOOD, AND IN EVERY\nCOMMUNITY OF OUR CITY. THE\nSEATTLE WOMEN'S COMMISSION IS\nINTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH THE\nREALTY, OUR FRIENDS ARE\nSURVIVORS OF GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE. OUR COLLEAGUES ARE\nSURVIVORS OF GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE. THE FOLKS WE SUPPORT\nAND PAID AND UNPAID ROLES ARE\nSURVIVORS, AND WE, PAST AND\nCURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEATTLE\nWOMEN'S COMMISSION ARE\nSURVIVORS OF GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE. SEXUAL ASSAULT\nAWARENESS MONTH COMPELS US TO\nHAWNTHER COURAGE OF SURVIVORS\nAND TO BELIEVE THEM. TO BE\nCANDED ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OUR\nCOMMUNITIES ARE EXPERIENCING,\nAND TO RECOGNIZE AND TRUST THE\nCRITICAL WORK OF COMMUNITY\nORGANIZATIONS IN THIS SPACE. ARE\nREMINDS US TO COMMIT TO BUILDING\nA CITY WHERE WE WITH EXPERIENCE\nSAFETY. HEALING IS POSSIBLE AND\nSEXUAL VIOLENCE IS PREVENTABLE.\nWE ALL HAVE A ROLE IN BUILDING\nTHE SAFER ANTI-RACIST FUTURE\nTHAT WE NEED AND DESERT. THANK\nYOU TO THE ORGANIZATIONS,\nCOALITIONS, AND PROGRAMS,\nINCLUDING MANY HERE TODAY, WHO\nPROMOTE CULTURALLY REL VENT\nSUPPORT, HEALING, AND HOPE IN\nOUR REGION, AND THANK YOU TO THE\nCITY FOR INVESTING IN THE\nCRITICAL EFFORTS. WE NEED TO\nCONTINUE RESOURCEING THIS WORK,\nWE NEED TO INCREASE THE FUNDING\nAND SUPPORT FOR THIS WORK. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nI AM GOING OLD SCHOOL WITH: I AM GOING OLD SCHOOL WITH\nPAPER.\nGO RIGHT AHEAD: GO RIGHT AHEAD.\nHELLO, COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK\nYOU FOR HAVING US. MY NAME IS\nAMANDA, MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE/HER\nAND I AM A MEMBER OF RESIDENT OF\nDISTRICT ONE. I SERVE AS\nCO-CHAIR OF THE GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE SUBCOMMITTEE AT THE\nSEATTLE WOMEN'S COMMISSION. ON\nTHIS 25th ANNIVERSARY OF SEXUAL\nASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH, WE\nCONFRONT A DIFFICULT TRUTH, THAT\nSEXUAL VIOLENCE REMAINS\nPERVASIVE ACROSS SOCIOECONOMIC\nAND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS IN\nSEATTLE. COMMUNITY FEEDBACK\nINDICATES FAR TOO OFTEN\nSURVIVORS ARE ASKED TO NAVIGATE\nSYSTEMS THAT ARE NOT DESIGNATED\nAROUND THEIR DIGNITY, SAFETY, OR\nCULTURAL NEEDS. IN ADDITION TO\nTHE PROCLAMATION, WE ARE ASKING\nYOU TO TAKE A CONCRETE STEP\nFORWARD IN STRENGTHENING\nCONFIDENCHALITY AND SURVIVOR\nSAFETY IN CITY COUNCIL\nPROCESSES, SPECIFICALLY INSURE\nMATERIALS SUBMITTED FOR PUBLIC\nMEETINGS DO NOT EXPLOIT\nSURVIVORS FOR SHOCK VALUE OR\nUNINTENTIONALLY ENDANGER\nEXPERIENCES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT,\nDOMESTIC VIOLENCE, HUMAN\nTRAFFICKING, OR STOCKING.\nSENSITIVE INFORMATION PUBLISHED\nWITHOUT SAFEGUARDS OR CONSENT\nPUT SURVIVORS AT RISK OF\nIDENTIFICATION, RETRAUMATIZEATIO\nN, HARASSMENT, OR WORSE. WHILE\nWE MAY BE PRESENTING AND\nREPRESENTING WOMEN, THAT RISK\nCAN SILENCEAL VOICES WE NEED TO\nHEAR MOST REGARDLESS OF GENDER\nIDENTITY. TODAY, IN RECOGNITION\nOF SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS\nMONTH, OUR CALL TO ACTION IS\nSIMPLE, AMEND CITY COUNCIL\nMEETING RULES AND PROCEDURES TO\nINSURE SURVIVOR'S SAFETY IN\nPRESENTATIONS, WE ARE ASKING FOR\nPHOTO AND VIDEO REDACTION AS\nWELL AS TRAUMA-INFORMED\nPARTICIPATION OPTIONS FOR THOSE\nWHO WOULD LIKE TO THEIR THEIR\nSTORIES. THIS WILL UPHOLD\nTRANSPARENCY FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS\nWHILE PROTECTING SURVIVOR\nIDENTITY. IF SEATTLE IS TO\nBECOME A PLACE WHERE SEXUAL\nASSAULT IS TREATED AS PUBLIC\nHEALTH ISSUE, WE URGE YOU TO\nADOPT THE PROTECTIONS AND LEAD\nWITH INTENTION. BY INSURING NO\nSURVIVOR HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN\nBEING HEARD AND BEING SAFE,\nBECAUSE AWARENESS ALONE IS NOT\nENOUGH. SAFETY MUST BE BUILT\nINTO OUR SYSTEMS AND REFLECTED\nIN OUR PROCESSES. SURVIVORS MUST\nBE ABLE TO ENGAGE WITHOUT FEAR.\nWE APPRECIATE YOUR SHARED\nCOMMITMENT TO THIS ISSUE AND\nWELCOME CONTINUED CONVERSATION\nABOUT THIS AND OTHER\nRECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE SEATTLE\nWOMEN'S COMMISSION HAS TO\nOFFER. WE LOOK FORWARD TO\nWORKING ALONGSIDE YOU, LONG WITH\nTHE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO\nCOULDN'T MAKE IT TODAY, AND\nEFFORT TO BE CHAMPIONS FOR THOSE\nWHO EXPERIENCE SEXUAL VIOLENCE,\nWHICH INCLUDE THOSE YOU KNOW,\nTHOSE YOU LOVE, AND THOSE YOU\nREPRESENT. THANK YOU.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU. THANK\nYOU, EMILY, THANK YOU, WHIT,\nTHANK YOU, AMANDA.

HSD FUNDS THE\nORGANIZATIONS AS A SAFETY NET\nFOR SURVIVORS OF GENDER-BASED\nVIOLENCE, TO INCREASE ACCESS TO\nSERVICES THAT ARE\nTRAUMA-INFORMED, AND CULTURALLY\nREL VENT. SEXUAL VIOLENCE\nAFFECTS EVERYBODY REGARDLESS OF\nAGE, GENDER, RACE, AND OTHER\nBACKGROUNDS. SURVIVORS OFTEN\nFACE BARRIERS TO REPORTING OR\nSEEKING HELP, INCLUDING FEAR,\nSTIG NU, AND LACK OF TRUST IN\nSYSTEMS SUCH AS THE IMPACT OF\nCURRENT FEDERAL POLICIES, AS\nWELL AS THE CONTINUED OPPRESSION\nTHAT MADE IT HARDER FOR\nSURVIVORS TO SEEK SAFETY. WE\nAPPRECIATE THE COUNCIL'S\nSUPPORT TO ADDRESS THE IMPACTS\nFOR SURVIVORS WHO WORK WITH\nSURVIVORS EVERY DAY AND WHO WORK\nWITH THE MOST VOLNERABLE.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND\nLISTENING TO THAT PODCAST AS\nWELL, ADULTS IN THE ROOM. YES.\nFINALLY, THANK YOU, COUNCIL\nMEMBER RIVERA, FOR TALKING ABOUT\nTHE BE LOUD BREAKFAST, THE\nMOMENT WE ASK EVERYBODY TO STAND\nUP, IF THEY THEMSELVES OR KNOW\nSOMEONE WHO IS A SURVIVOR, IT IS\nAN INCREDIBLY POWERFUL MOMENT.\nTO THE OTHER SURVIVORS IN THE\nROOM, I WANT TO SAY WE SEE YOU,\nWE ARE HERE FOR YOU, AND YOU ARE\nNOT ALONE. I THINK YOU HAVE\nHEARD SEXUAL ASSAULT IS\nINCREDIBLY COMMON. IT IS FAR\nMORE COMMON THAN PEOPLE REALIZE,\nHALF OF WOMEN AND A THIRD OF MEN\nWILL EXPERIENCE ASSAULT IN THEIR\nLIFETIME.\nWE KNOW YOUNG PEOPLE AMONG US\nARE THE MOST VOLNERABLE TO\nSEXUAL VIOLENCE AND OFTEN LEAST\nLIKELY TO BE BELIEVED. SEXUAL\nVIOLENCE PERSISTS IN SILENCE, IT\nTHRIVES WHEN WE LOOK AWAY, WHEN\nWE ASSUME IT DOESN'T AFFECT\nPEOPLE WE KNOW OUR COMMUNITIES\nWE ARE APART OF. WE TREAT\nAWARENESS AS A MOMENT INSTEAD OF\nA RESPONSIBILITY. WHILE THIS\nISSUE CAN FEEL OVERWHELMING AND\nCREATING CHANGE DOESN'T REQUIRE\nDOING EVERYTHING, WE CAN DO\nTHINGS THAT ARE SMALL, EVERY DAY\nCHOICES, IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE\nSPEAKING UP WHEN WE HEAR SOMEONE\nTHAT IS VICTIM BLAMING, NOT\nLAUGHING AT A JOKE THAT MAKES\nLIGHT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE, IT CAN\nBE HAVING AN HONEST\nAGE-APPROPRIATE CONVERSATION\nWITH YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT CONSENT\nAND HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS. IT\nCAN BE SIMPLE, AND IT CAN BE\nPOWERFUL. JUST LIKE BELIEVING\nSOMEONE WHEN THEY SHARE THEIR\nSTORY AND THEN HELPING THEM\nCONNECT TO SUPPORT. AN EASY\nPLACE TO START, OF COURSE, IS BY\nSHARING OUR RESOURCES, YOU CAN\nSHARE 24 HOUR RESOURCE LINE\n1-88-99-VOICE, SO ANYONE THAT\nNEEDS HELP KNOWS WHERE TO TURN.\nWE OFTEN SAY WE CAN'T CHANGE\nWHAT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT.\nSEATTLE, THANK YOU YOUR\nCOMMITMENT, ESPECIALLY THE LAST\nBUDGET SEASON, AND TO SURVIVORS\nIN SEATTLE AS A WHOLE. YOUR\nLEADERSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP AND\nWILLINGNESS TO BE LOUD ABOUT\nSEXUAL ASSAULT IS MAKING A\nDIFFERENCE. TOGETHER WE CAN\nCREATE A COMMUNITY WHERE\nSURVIVORS ARE SUPPORTED,\nBELIEVED, AND WHERE PREVENTION\nIS TRULY POSSIBLE. THANK YOU CHT\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nMY NAME IS DIADRA BOILENED: MY NAME IS DIADRA BOILENED.\nSO, I AM PROUD TO REPRESENT THE\nWASHINGTON STATE COALITION\nAGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND\nSEXUAL ASSAULT. THIS YEAR MARKS\nOUR FIRST AS THE DESIGNATED\nSEXUAL ASSAULT COALITION OF\nWASHINGTON STATE. WE HOLD THAT\nRESPONSIBILITY WITH DEEP HONOR\nAND PRIDE AS WE SUPPORT\nCOMMUNITY SEXUAL ASSAULT\nPROGRAMS ACROSS THE STATE. APRIL\n2026 MARKS THE 25th ANNIVERSARY\nOF SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS\nMONTH BUT THE MOVEMENT DID NOT\nBEGIN 25 YEARS AGO, IT IS ROOTED\nIN DECADES OF ORGANIZING DATING\nBACK TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA OF\nTHE 1940US AND 50s WHEN\nMOVEMENTS OF SOCIAL CHANGE AND\nEQUALITY BEGAN TO TAKE SHAPE. AT\nA TIME WHEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT\nSEXUAL AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE\nWERE OFTEN SILENCED, ACTIVEESTS\nPUSH ED FORWARD ANYWAY. WE MUST\nACKNOWLEDGE THIS WORK WAS, AND\nCONTINUES TO BE, LED BY BLACK\nWOMEN AND WOMEN OF COLOR, WHOSE\nLEADERSHIP, COURAGE, LAID THE\nFOUNDATION FOR THE MOVEMENT WE\nCARRY FORWARD TODAY. TODAY WE\nARE REMINDED THIS WORK IS FAR\nFROM OVER. RECENT DISCLOSURE\nINCLUDING DELOR EZ, SHARING HER\nTRUTH ALONGSIDE THE CONTINUED\nRECKONING IN EPSTEIN CASE,\nUNDERSCORE THE URGENCY, OFTEN AT\nGREAT PERSONAL COST, ASKING TO\nBE HEARD, BELIEVED, AND\nSUPPORTED. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT\nTHAN EVER WE STAND WITH\nSURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND\nWHAT W THE PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT\nTHEM EVERY DAY. SEXUAL VIOLENCE\nIMPACTS EVERY COMMUNITY, AND\nBEHIND EVERY STATISTIC IS A\nPERSON, A SURVIVOR WHO DESERVES\nTO BE BELIEVED, SUPPORTED, AND\nMET WITH CARE. COMMUNITY-BASED\nPROGRAMS ACROSS WASHINGTON STATE\nPROVIDE THAT CARE EVERY DAY,\nOFFERING CRISIS SUPPORT,\nADVOCACY, AND PATHWAYS TO\nHEALING. THIS MONTH IS NOT ONLY\nABOUT AWARENESS, IT IS ABOUT\nACTION. IT IS ABOUT INVESTING IN\nSERVICES AND SUPPORT FOR\nSURVIVORS. TO THE ADVOCATE\nSURVIVORS AND COMMUNITIES\nMEMBERS HERE TODAY, WE THANK\nYOU. YOUR VOICES, YOUR WORK,\nYOUR COMMITMENT ARE WHAT MOVE US\nFORWARD. WE ARE STRONGER\nTOGETHER. THANK YOU.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, MEMBERS OF\nTHE COUNCIL, MY NAME IS\nANNMARIE, COEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR\nOF THE COALITION ENDING\nGENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. SO MUCH\nBEAUTIFUL THINGS HAVE BEEN SAID\nBY ALL MY COLLEAGUES AND\nPARTNERS IN THE WORK Y AM GOING\nTO TRY TO ADD A LITTLE SOMETHING\nTO THE CONVERSATION. WE ARE JUST\nSO PROUD TO BE HERE WITH\nEVERYONE AND ACKNOWLEDGING APRIL\nAS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS\nMONTH. IN THE BOOK \"TRUTH AND\nREPAIR\" EXPERT JUDITH STATES\nSURVIVORS WANT THE TRUTH TO BE\nRECOGNIZED AND THE CRIME TO BE\nDENOUNCED BY THOSE IN THEIR\nCOMMUNITIES WHO MATTER TO THEM.\nTHIS MEANS SURVIVORS MUST\nACTUALLY MATTER TO THEIR WIDER\nCOMMUNITIES. OUR WORK AS A\nCOALITION IS TO CARE FOR,\nCONNECT WITH, AND MOBILIZE OVER\n35 LOCAL PROGRAMS WHO ARE ALL\nWORKING TO BUILD COMMUNITIES\nWHERE SURVIVORS AND THEIR\nEXPERIENCES ACTUALLY MATTER IN\nOUR SOCIETY. ADVOCATES BARE\nWITNESS TO THE IMPACTS OF RAPE,\nABUSE, AND VIOLENCE THAT PEOPLE\nOFTEN LOOK AWAY FROM OR PRETEND\nDOESN'T EXIST. AS WE WATCH THE\nNATIONAL NEWS, WE ARE ALL BARING\nWITNESS AS MENTIONED, TO\nSURVIVORS POWERFULLY DISCLOSING\nBUSE AND EXPOSING DECADES OF\nCOVER UPS. LOCALLY WE HAVE SEEN\nDISCLOSURES OF MISCONDUCT AND\nSEXUAL HARASSMENT AT SEVERAL\nCITY DEPARTMENTS AND LOCAL\nGENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PROGRAMS\nSTRUGGLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE\nNEED FOR SERVICES AMIDST\nINCREASING BUDGET CUTS AND\nFEDERAL FUNDING UNCERTAINTY.\nTHERE IS MUCH WORK TO BE DONE TO\nFULLY REALIZE OUR COLLECTIVE\nVISION OF EQUITABLE\nRELATIONSHIPS AND END TO\nGENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. WE\nBELIEVE HAVING STRONG SURVIVOR\nPROGRAMS AND WORKING IN\nCOALITION CAN SHIFT THE\nCONDITIONS THAT ALLOW ABUSES OF\nPOWER TO FLOURISH. AND WHY\nLEADERSHIP FROM ELECTED LEADERS\nAS EXHIBITED HERE TODAY IS SO\nCRITICAL. NAMING THE CURRENT AND\nHISTORICAL VIOLENCE OF SEXUAL\nASSAULT AND WHO IS MOST LIKELY\nTO EXPERIENCE ITS HARMS AS THIS\nPROCLAMATION DOES IS A\nMEANINGFUL WAY TO SHOW THAT\nSURVIVORS AND THEIR EXPERIENCES\nMATTER. THANK YOU, COUNCIL\nMEMBER, FOR THIS PROCLAMATION\nAND THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR\nWILSON FOR STANDING WITH US\nTODAY AND FOR MAKING THIS\nPROCLAMATION A PRIORITY. WE LOOK\nFORWARD TO CONTINUING THE WORK\nTOGETHER. THANK YOU.\nREPRESENTATIVE THOMAS, DID\nYOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?\nTHEY COVERED IT: THEY COVERED IT.\nAWESOME.

YOU ARE\nRESPONSIBLE, IT IS A PROBLEM. SO\nI WANT TO EXPLAIN TOIOYOU,\nPEOPLE, NOT YOU, PERSONAL,\nDON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, MY\nQUESTION TO YOU, MARTIN LUTHER\nKING KILL, WHY HE KILLED?\nBECAUSE HE HAVE DIFFERENT\nOPINION I AM ALEX FOR 30-PLUS\nYEAR, I AM HERE AND HAVE\nDIFFERENT OPINION AND DIFFERENT\nVIEW.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.\nNEXT, JUST A REMINDER TO THE\nGENERAL PUBLIC, YOU ARE NOT\nLOWED TO ATTACK COUNCIL MEMBERS\nBASED ON THEIR RACE, BASED ON\nTHEIR GENDER, BASED ON THEIR\nSEXUALITY, BASED ON THEIR\nRELIGION, JUST TO CLARIFY THAT.\n[ APPLAUSE ] WE WON'T-- JUST\nWON'T BETOLERATED. NEXT, ANDREA\n. WELCOME.\nHELLO, I AM HERE REPRESENTING\nLABORS ACROSS THE REGION. I WANT\nTO TALK ABOUT WHY SUPPORTING A\nBOND FOR THE SEATTLE CENTER SO\nIMPORTANT, NOT JUST FOR THE\nCITY, BUT FOR OUR MEMBERS AND WE\nRELY ON REALLY GOOD UNION JOBS.\nSO THE SEATTLE CENTER IS ONE OF\nTHE MOST IMPORTANT PLACES IN OUR\nCITY, IT WHERE PEOPLE COME\nTOGETHER FOR FESTIVALS,\nCONCERTS, SPORTING EVENTS, ET\nCETERA, BUT THE FACILITIES OLD,\nLOT OF MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PUT\nOFF FOR A VERY LONG TIME,\nWAITING TO FIX THE BUILDINGS\nDOESN'T MAKE IT CHEAPER, IT\nONLY MAKES IT MORE EXPENSIVE AND\nCONSTRUCTION COSTS AND INTEREST\nRATES ARE UNPREDICTABLE. SO, IT\nIS ACTUALLY GOING TO SAVE US\nMONEY IF WE DO THIS NOW.\nINVESTING IN THE SEATTLE CENTER\nIS ABOUT THE PEOPLE, REPAIRING\nAND UPGRADES CREATE JOBS RIGHT\nAWAY, WHICH MEMBERS NEED DURING\nTHE TOUGH TIMES AND CONSTRUCTION\nIS STEADY WORK FOR MEMBERS IN\nTHE CITY, AND THE LOCAL ECONOMY.\nVISITING THE CENTER, MORE\nBUSINESS. THIS WOULD MAKE THIS\nCENTER SAFER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE\nFOR EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY\nUNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES.\nIMPROVEMENTS NOW MEAN PEOPLE CAN\nENJOY THE PUBLIC SPACES WITHOUT\nDISRUPTIONS FROM CRUMBLING\nINFRASTRUCTURE, SO, AS I SAID,\nIF WE WAIT, WE RISK LOSING\nPUBLIC SUPPORT AND MOMENTUM,\nRIGHT NOW THE PEOPLE ARE PAYING\nATTENTION. WE CAN ACT WHILE THE\nNEED IS URGENT AND VISIBLE.\nSUPPORTING THE BOND IS SMART,\nRESPONSIBLE, AND SOMETIMELY, IT\nPROTECTS PUBLIC ACCESSS, SUPPORT\nUNION FAMILIES AND KEEP SEATTLE\nA VIBRANT HUB FOR THE CITY. WE\nURGE YOU TO ACT NOW AND PUT THIS\nON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT SO\nCONSTRUCTION CAN START SOONER,\nUNION JOBS CAN BE CREATED AND\nTHE CENTER CAN CONTINUE SERVING\nOUR COMMUNITY FOR GENERATIONS.\nNICOLE, STEVE, KEN, JERRY.\nMY NAME IS NICOLE AND I: MY NAME IS NICOLE AND I\nREPRESENT THE INTERNATIONAL\nBROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL\nWORKERS, LOCAL 46 I AM INAN\nELECTRICIAN. I WANT TO BOOST\nWHAT MY UNION SISTER WAS SAYING.\nGOOD TIME TO BE IN SEATTLE, WE\nWON THE SUPER BOWL, ABOUT TO\nHOST THE WORLD CUP, WE WILL, GOD\nWILLING, BE HAVING THE SEATTLE\nSUPER SONICS RETURNING TO THE\nSEATTLE CENTER IN THE NEAR\nFUTURE AND IT IS A GREAT TIME TO\nINVEST IN OURSELVES. THESE\nINVESTMENTS ARE A HEAVY LIFT. WE\nARE THE ONES THAT PAY FOR THEM.\nBUT IT IS NEVER GOING TO BE A\nBAD IDEA TO MAKE THE SEATTLE\nCENTER GOOD. IT IS THE SETTING\nOF OUR CHILDHOODS, FOR THE KIDS\nIN THE CITY, IT IS A PLACE WHERE\nEVERYBODY IS WELCOME, AND, YOU\nKNOW, SELFISHLY, I HAVE TO SAY\nTHAT IN MY UNION, WE HAVE HAD A\nLOT OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, YOU\nKNOW, IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY OUT\nTHERE IN THE ECONOMY AND THERE\nIS A THOUSAND ELECTRICIANS\nWITHOUT JOBS RIGHT NOW. IF THE\nINVESTMENT IN SOMETHING THAT\nLIFTS OUR CITY UP CAN ALSO BE AN\nINVESTMENT IN WORKERS WHO NEED\nJOBS RIGHT NOW, THAT IS A DOUBLE\nWIN FOR US, AND THAT IS OUR\nUNION IS COMING TO YOU, ASKING\nFOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON A BOND TO\nREDO THE SEATTLE CENTER, MAKE IT\nREADY FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE,\nAND CUT DOWN ON GREENHOUSE GAS\nEMISSIONS, AND IT IS THE SAME\nREASON WHY WE ARE GOING TO BE\nBACK TOMORROW MORNING ADVOCATING\nFOR THE AMENDMENTS TO THE\nLIBRARY LEVEE, WE ARE ASKING FOR\nYOU TO INVEST IN US AS WORKERS.\nTHANKS.\nTHANK YOU, NEXT, STEVE,\nFOLLOWED BY KEN, TERRY JOHN,\nDIANA, JIMMY.\nHE HAS GOT A SIGN. GOOD\nAFTERNOON, MY NAME IS STEVE Y AM\nA RETIRED MATH TEACHER, AND NOW\nI HAPPILY VOLUNTEER WITH TRASH\nWALK TO IMPROVE OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD. WHILE PICKING UP\nTRASH, WE HAVE OBSERVED DECAY OF\nPUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY RELATED\nTO OPEN AIR DRUG USE AND CRIME.\nWE HAVE DOCUMENTED THE IMPACT ON\nOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO RAISE\nAWARENESS AND AFFECT CHANGE. YOU\nHAVE A COPY OF OUR DOCUMENT.\nTHIS MAP SHOWS THE AFFECTED AREA\nBETWEEN THE LIGHT RAIL STATIONS.\nTHIS IS SEATTLE'S ONLY\nNEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS WALKING\nDISTANCE TO L1 AND L2, IT HAS SO\nMUCH POTENTIAL. BUT THIS\nNEIGHBORHOOD IS AT A BREAKING\nPOINT. EACH RED DOT REPRESENTS A\nSMALL FAMILY BUSINESS,\nNON-PROFIT SCHOOL, CHURCH, OR\nRESIDENT, WHO HAS BEEN IMPACTED.\nTHERE ARE WELL OVER 200 UNHOUSED\nIN THE MAPPED AREA. THE TOTAL\nFINANCIAL IMPACT FOR JUST THESE\n34 OVER THE LAST TWO TO THREE\nYEARS IN ARSON, THEFT, AND\nPROPERTY DAMAGE, IS 2.35 MILLION\nOR 80K PER PROPERTY. JUST AS\nIMPORTANT AS THE IMPACT FOR\nPUBLIC SAFETY, STAFF, STUDENTS,\nCONGREGATION. FOR DECADES MOUNT\nBAKER WAS A HERB OF COMMERCE AND\nCOMMUNITY SERVICE, WE ARE LEFT\nWITH VACANT LOTS, CLOSED\nBUSINESSES, AND UNSAFE\nENVIRONMENT THAT DETERS FUTURE\nGROWTH IN INVESTMENT. THIS\nPHOTO, ONE OF MANY IN THE\nPACKET, SHOWS A SEATTLE\nGREENWAY, A SCHOOL ZONE WITH AN\nELEMENTARY AND GIRLS MIDDLE\nSCHOOL ACROSS THE STREET. NOTE\nTHE VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON\nWITH THEIR GUIDE DOG WALKING TO\nTHE LIGHT HOUSE FOR THE BLIND,\nFORCED TO NAVIGATE AN ACTIVE\nDRUG DEAL, A WOMAN BUYING FROM\nTHE DEALER INSIDE THIS TENT.\nTHIS IS NOT CITY BASICS BETTER,\nTHIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY\nCRISIS THAT NEEDS A COVID-LEVEL\nRESPONSE. PLEASE AUTHORIZE\nACTION TO TAKE DRUG DEALERS OFF\nOUR STREETERS AND GET TREATMENT\nFOR THOSE THEY PRAY UPON. ACT TO\nRESTORE HEALTH AND SAFETY TO OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, KEN, STEVE, EXCUSE\nME. IT IS STEVE. WE HAVE KEN\nFOLLOWED BY TERRY.\nI LIVED IN MT. BAKER SINCE\n1992, I WAS WALKING BETWEEN\nRAINIER AVENUE AND SOUTH\nCOLLEGE, STEVE AND I WALK PRETTY\nMUCH EVERY DAY FOR EXERCISE OR\nPICK UP TRASH, THIS AREA HAS\nBEEN USED FOR DRUG DEALING ASK\nDRUG USES FOR A VERY LONG TIME.\nON THIS DAY I PASTED GENTLEMAN\nIN A BLACK TRENCH COAT AND I\nSAID GOOD MORNING, AS I\nAPPROACHED ONE OF THE RVs ALWAYS\nPARK TLD I SEE A HAND COME OUT\nOF THE WINDOW, BY THIS TIME A\nLINE OF PEOPLE HAD FORMED\nOUTSIDE THE WIND EO, THE FIRST\nPERSON IN LINE WAS A LITTLE OLD\nLADY, IN THE AS A RAIL. I SEE\nHER PUT SOMETHING INTO THE HAND,\nTHE HAND WITHDRAWS FROM THE RV,\nAND THEN REAPPEARS WITH\nSOMETHING. THE LITTLE OLD LADY\nTAKES THE SOMETHING FROM THE\nHAND AND SHE IS JUST THRILLED,\nSMILES AND GOES SKIPPING AWAY. I\nTURN AROUND TO WALK AWAY AND THE\nGENTLEMAN IN THE BLACK COAT IS\nRIGHT BEHIND ME, HE ASK MEEZS\nWHAT ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU\nDOING? I REPLIED WHO ARE YOU AND\nWHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HE SAYS\nYOU HERE TO HARASS THE HOMELESS\nPEOPLE. I SAID NO I AM WALKING\nTHROUGH. WITH THAT HE REPEATED\nHIS CLAIM AND SAID YOU BETTER\nGET THE F OUT OF HERE. HE\nAPPROACHED ME CLOSER, REPEATED\nHIS THREAT, AND RAISED HIS FIST\nTO MY FACE. WITH THAT I BACKED\nAWAY AND TOLD STEVE WE ARE NOT\nSAFE HERE, WE HAVE GOT TO GET\nOUT OF HERE. WE LEFT THE AREA\nAND CALLED THE POLICE. THERE IS\nSOMETHING WRONG IN THE CITY OF\nSEATTLE IF A RESIDENT CAN'T\nWALK DOWN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD\nSTREET WITHOUT GETTING\nTHREATENED BY A THUG TRYING TO\nPROTECT THE DRUG DEAL. THE THUG\nACTED AS IF HE WAS PROTECTING\nHOMELESS PEOPLE, IN REALTY HE\nWAS ACTUALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF\nTHE DRUG ADDICTS. THE POOR\nLITTLE OLD LADY AND MANY ARE\nBEING PRAYED UPON T IS NOT\nHUMANE AND ETHICAL TO LEAVE THEM\nON THE STREETS. THEY NEED\nTREATMENT AND DRUG DEALERS NEED\nTO BE ARRESTED, ARRESTING KNOWN\nDRUG DEALERS TAKES WAY TOO LONG,\nTHE PROCESS NEEDS TO BE\nEXPEDITED. MT. BAKER RESIDENTS,\nBUSINESSES, CHURCHES, AND\nSCHOOLS ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO\nDEAL WITH THE SITUATION PUT WITH\nWE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. WE NEED\nYOUR HELP. I KNOW YOU WANT TO\nHELP, WE NEED ACTION, NOT JUST\nWORDS, YOU CAN DO BETTER. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, KEN. NEXT, TERRY,\nFOLLOWED BY JOHN. WELCOME,\nTERRY. GOOD TO SEE YOU.\nHI. I AM TERRY MCGIBBON, I\nLIVED IN MT. BAKE FOR 50 YEARS.\nI NEVER THOUGHT IN MY RETIREMENT\nIED BE PICKING UP TRASH TO KEEP\nMYSELF OUT OF TROUBLE, BUT I AM.\nIT HAS BEEN A GOOD WAY FOR ME TO\nCONNECT WITH THE BUSINESSES IN\nOUR AREA, MEET OTHER NEIGHBORS\nAND STUFF, GIVE BACK A LITTLE\nBIT, TOO, A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I\nLOVE. I HELPED RAISE TWO\nDAUGHTERS THAT WENT TO GARFIELD.\nI HAVE A REAL LOVE FOR THE\nVALLEY AND MT. BAKER. I WANTED\nTO THANK SOME PEOPLE, COUNCIL\nMEMBER LINN, THESE PEOPLE AND\nTHEIR STAFFS, WE HAVE BEEN THE\nSQUEAKY WHEEL AND THEY ARE\nDEFINITELY HAVE BEEN HELPING US\nOUT. CHRISTINE HENDERSON, WHO\nISN'T HERE, BUT WORKED FOR\nCOUNCIL MEMBER SOLOMON REALLY\nHAS ORGANIZED AND GOT THE SAME\nGOAL AND WE HAVE OVER A HUNDRED\nPEOPLE IN OUR MT. BAKER TRASH\nGROUP NOW, WHICH IS CRAZY. JENNY\nFRANKAL, TALK ABOUT SUPER STAR,\nMAN, HER IN ADOPT A STREET,\nAMAZING. SHE HAS HELPED US A\nLOT. TRACY KRAMER AND FIND\nIT/FIX IT, I AM ALL ABOUT TRYING\nTO FIX IT. ANDREA, WE HEART\nSEATTLE, DOING AMAZING WORK AND\nSTUFF, I CAN'T DO WHAT SHE IS\nDOING, I AM JUST DOING WHAT I\nCAN. THEY ARE REALLY DOING THE\nHEAVY LIFTING. AND TEMPUAL THE\nMT. BAKER ALLIANCE AND AND HER\nSTAFF, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE AND\nTHEIR STAFFS HAVE BEEN GREAT TO\nWORK WITH AND STUFF. I AM GOING\nTO KEEP MY THOUGHTS ON THE\nPOSITIVE SIDE AND THIS GOOD TO\nSEE THINGS IMPROVE IN OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD DAY BY DAY.\nTHANK YOU, TERRY. NEXT WE\nHAVE JOHN, FOLLOWED BY DIANA,\nAND MINISTER HERD.\nHI, I OWN DEANY CONSTRUCTION,\nMY COMPANY HAS BEEN PART OF THE\nRAINIER VALLEY NEARLY 90 YEARS\nACROSS FOUR GENERATIONS, ONE OF\nTHE LAST LONG-STANDING\nFAMILY-RUN BUSINESSES STILL\nOPERATE IN THE COMMUNITY.\nBUSINESSES LIKE OURS HELP BUILD\nTHE VALLEY, LITERALLY AND\nFIGURATIVELY, BUT TODAY I HAVE\nTO ASK FOR HOW MUCH LONGER? WE\nARE DEEPLY CONCERNED, THE\nCONDITION OF THE MT. BAKER AND\nNORTH RAINIER VALLEY\nNEIGHBORHOODS HAS DECLINED IN\nWAYS THAT ARE UNSAFE FOR\nRESIDENTS, WORKERS, AND PEOPLE\nLIVING ON THE STREETS. WE SEE\nOPEN DRUG USE, INDIVIDUALS\nPASSED OUT OR WORSE NEAR\nROADWAYS, PEOPLE WANDERING INTO\nACTIVE TRAFFIC AND CONSTRUCTION\nZONES. DRUG USERS REGULARLY\nCONGREGATE IN LARGE NUMBERS IN\nOUR DRIVEWAY, AN ACT OF\nTHOROUGHFAIR ALL DAY LONG FOR\nVEHICLES. I WANT TO BE CLEAR,\nTHIS IS DANGEROUS FOR THEM,\nTHESE ARE PEOPLE AT REAL RISK OF\nBEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR\nKILLED BECAUSE OF WHERE THEY ARE\nIN THE CONDITION THEY ARE IN.\nALSO PUTS MY EMPLOYEES IN AN\nIMPOSSIBLE POSITION, I WANT THEM\nTO FEEL SAFE WHEN THEY COME TO\nWORK AND RIGHT NOW THEY DO NOT.\nIT IS NOT A HYPOTHETICAL RISK,\nIT SOMETHING WE ARE ALL ACTIVELY\nTRYING TO PREVENT EVERY DAY. WE\nALREADY HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS\nWHEN CONDITIONS ARE ALLOWED TO\nDETERIORATE. LONG STANDING\nBUSINESSES LIKE MUTUAL FISH AND\nTHE BAKERY HAVE BEEN FORCED TO\nCLOSE. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE NEXT\nALLOWING PEOPLE IN THE DANGEROUS\nCONDITIONS IS NEGLECTMENT WE\nNEED REAL INTERVENTION,\nTREATMENT, OUTREACH, AND\nACCOUNTABILITY. IMMEDIATE\nRESPONSE WHEN PEOPLE ARE NEAR\nROADWAYS AND ACTIVE WORK ZONES,\nWE HAVE CALLED 911 MULTIPLE\nTIMES WITH NO RESPONSE OR\nDOESN'T DO ANYTHING. CONSTANT\nENFORCEMENT OF BASIC PUBLIC\nSAFETY LAWS THAT ARE ALREADY ON\nTHE BOOKS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW\nWHAT IS HAPPENING ISN'T WORKING\nFOR ANYONE, NOT FOR THE PEOPLE\nON THE STREETS, NOT FOR WORKERS,\nNOT FOR THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE\nINVESTED GENERATIONS INTO THE\nCOMMUNITY. THE QUESTION IS\nWHETHER THE CITY WILL ACT BEFORE\nPREVENTABLE TRAGEDY FORCES THE\nISSUE. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, JOHN. NEXT WE HAVE\nDIANA, FOLLOWED BY JIMMY, IS IT\nKAJETEN OKAY. THANK YOU.\nHI, MY NAME IS DIANA, THANKS\nFOR LISTENING TO US. I AM HERE\nREPRESENTING A BUSINESS IN THE\nRAINIER VALLEY SINCE 1959, I\nWORKED FOR THEM FOR 40 YEARS, I\nSTARTED IN 1986. I MOVED INTO\nTHE CENTRAL DISTRICT 34 YEARS\nAGO, SO I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF\nSTUFF HAPPEN. WHEN I FIRST\nSTARTED WORKING AND LIVING IN\nTHE AREA, I COULDN'T GET\nAPPLICANTS TO COME TO APPLY FOR\nA JOB BECAUSE WE WERE OFF\nRAINIER AVENUE, PEOPLE WOULDN'T\nWALK IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE\nOF CRIME SDP&DRUG DEALING, OVER\n20 YEARS I SAW LOT OF\nIMPROVEMENTS AND IT WAS REALLY A\nGREAT PLACE TO LIVE. IT IS STILL\nA GREAT PLACE, EXCEPT IT IS\nDECLINING AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO\nBACK UP EVERYTHING SAID ALREADY,\nI DON'T WANT TO REPEAT\nEVERYTHING, BUT 2015 WAS WHEN\nHOMELESSNESS WAS A STATE OF\nEMERGENCY, IT IS 2026, IF YOU DO\nTHET MATH, THAT IS 11 YEARS,\nSTATE OF EMERGENCY, THAT IS\nCRAZY T. AND ALSO, LIKE,\nEVERYBODY SAID, I DO WALK AROUND\nLOT Y DO WALK TO WORK, BUT OUR\nEMPLOYEES GET WORRIED. WE HAD\nSOMEBODY DIE DOWN THE BLOCK, A\nHOMELESS PERSON, PEOPLE\nSHOULDN'T HAVE TO WITNESS THAT.\nPEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO\nEXPERIENCE IT, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT\nBE DYING IN PUBLIC. I WOULD LIKE\nTO SEE PEOPLE GET THE HELP THEY\nNEED, AND, AGAIN, AS OF BACKING\nWHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAID ABOUT\nTHE UNSAFE CONDITIONS WE ARE\nLIVE AND WORKING IN, I WOULD\nLIKE TO INVITE ANYBODY HERE\nLISTENING THE COUNCIL TO COME TO\nDAVIS DOOR, WE WILL WALK DOWN TO\nBUDDHA, HAVE LUNCH, I WILL BUY\nLUNCH, I WILL BUY DINNER, WALK\nAROUND, YOU CAN WITNESS WHAT WE\nARE LIVING WITH WITH ENCAMPMENTS\nAND DRUG DEALING AND DRUG USE ON\nTHE STREETS AND SEE THE\nBUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE\nAND TRYING TO SURVIVOR AND STAY\nIN BUSINESS AND KEEP EMPLOYING\nPEOPLE AND PAYING TAXES, JUST\nLIKE I LIVE IN THE AREA, I WANT\nTO KEEP WALKING AROUND, KEEP\nPAYING MY TAXES AND LIVE IN A\nBEAUTIFUL CITY, BUT I DON'T\nWANT TO SEE IT DECLINE, I WOULD\nLIKE TO SEE ACTION TAKEN TO SAVE\nOUR AREA.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE\nMINISTER HERD FOLLOWED BY\nKAJETAN AND THEN THE NEXT\nSPEAKER, YOU CAN USE MIC, WE\nHAVE LAURA, MICHAEL, JEFF, MATT,\nGARRET, JASON, NATHAN, SCOTT,\nAND JACK.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, I AM JIMMY\nHERD, MINISTER IN CENTRAL\nSEATTLE, WE HAVE SERVED THE\nSEATTLE COMMUNITY FOR OVER 50\nYEAR S, INCLUDING WE PROVIDE\nWEEKLY HOT MEALS FOR THOSE WHO\nARE HOMELESS, AND THOSE WHO\nOTHERWISE NEED THEM. WE HAVE\nBEEN DOING THAT FOR MANY YEARS,\nWE HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH\nRECURRING HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT.\nIT IS GONE NOW BUT IT WILL COME\nBACK. I AM ASKING YOUR HELP WITH\nTHAT AND FOR THE LACK OF POLICE\nPRESENCE IN THE AREA. WE HAVE\nBEEN VICTIMS OF THEFT,\nHARASSMENT, AND VANDALISM. I,\nPERSONALLY, HAVE BEEN THREATENED\nBY A RESIDENT OF THIS HOMELESS\nCOMMUNITY. WE SUFFERED PROPERTY\nLOSS, HAD OVER A HUNDRED\nTHOUSAND DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO\nOUR AIR CONDITIONING UNITS,\nPEOPLE TRYING TO GET THE COPPER\nOUT, WE HAD A RENTAL HOME THAT\nWE WERE RENTING OUT TO A LOW\nINCOME PERSON, WE HAD A HOMELESS\nPERSON BREAK IN, START A FIRE,\nTHERE IS NO FIREPLACE IN THERE,\nBURN THE HOUSE DOWN. THE HOUSE\nWAS A 1917 HISTORIC HOME. IT WAS\nVALUED OVER $500,000, WE\nCONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE $30,000 A\nYEAR OF LOST REVENUE BECAUSE IT\nIS A VACANT LOT. WE NEED HELP\nPREVENTING THE RETURN OF THIS\nENCAMPMENT. IT TAKES ONE THING,\nBECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS ONE\nPERSON WILL PITCH A TENT, WITHIN\n24 HOURATIZE THERE IS TEN TENTS\nUP. IF WE CAN HAVE SOME\nINTERVENTION WITH THE FIRST\nPERSON THAT PITCHES THEIR TENT,\nLET THEM KNOW THEY ARE NOT\nLOWED. WE HAVE A VACANT LOT, WE\nARE WELCOME TO PARTNER WITH THE\nCITY ON HOUSING PROJECT. WE NEED\nHELP THERE. IF WE COULD INCREASE\nTHE NEIGHBORHOOD PATROLS, THAT\nWOULD BE A GREAT HELP. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nKAJETAN AND THEN LAURA,\nMICHAEL, JEFF, MATT.\nGOOD AFTERNOON,IER AM OWNER\nSAF RON SPICE, I HAVE BEEN\nRUNNING THE SMALLBUS SINCE 2012.\nI WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HOW BAD THE\nSITUATION HAS BECOME SINCE AFTER\nTHE PANDEMIC AND DUE TO THE\nHOMELESSNESS AND THE DRUG\nADDICT, THE DRUG USE IN THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD. RIGHT NEXT TO MY\nPLACE THE CITY OPEN A BRAND NEW\nPLACE TO HELP SUPPORT THE\nHOMELESS POPULATION. HOWEVER,\nTHE RESIDENTS OF HOBSON PLACE A\nCONSTANTLY CREATING A HAZARD BY\nTHROWING USED NEEDLES ALL OVER\nTHE AREA, ON MY ROOF, AND IN\nFRONT OF THE STORES. LAST YEAR A\nCOUPLE OF PEOPLE EVEN TRIED TO\nBURN MY BUILDING DOWN IN SPITE\nOF THE PEOPLE BEING ON SECURITY\nFOOTAGE, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.\nTHERE WAS NO CONSEQUENCES TO\nTHEM, I TALKED TO THE ADDITIONAL\nCOST OF TRYING TO REBUILD THE\nSTORE FRONT, AND THE ROOF THAT\nWAS DAMAGED BY THE FIRE. THE\nFIRE DEPARTMENT WASN'T ON TIME,\nI WOULD HAVE LOST THE WHOLE\nBUILDING. NOT TO MENTION THE\nLOSS OF REVENUE WHEN I WAS CLOSE\nTO MAKE THE REPAIRS. ON THE\nREGULAR BUSINESS, YOU KNOW EVERY\nDAY, MY TRUCKS HAVE BEEN BROKEN\nDOWN, GENERATORVISE BEEN STOLEN,\nTHAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE THING\nTHEY NEED TO GET ELECTRICITY\nWHEN THEY ARE ON THE STREET.\nWINDOWS SMASHED, STEALING\nWHATEVER THEY CAN FIND IN THE\nFENCED AREA. ADDITIONAL COST TO\nGET IT BACK FROM THE TOWING\nCOMPANY, I LIKE THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD, IT HAS BEEN A GOOD\nNEIGHBORHOOD, CLOSE TO THE CITY\nAND I WANT HELP FROM THE CITY\nCOUNCIL TO, YOU KNOW, MORE\nPATROLLING AND MAYBE EVEN NO\nTOILET, SO DO IT ALL OVER THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD, JUST KIND OF SAD.\nTHANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.\n[ APPLAUSE ]\nNEXT WE HAVE LAURA FOLLOWED: NEXT WE HAVE LAURA FOLLOWED\nBY MICHAEL, JEFF, MATT, GARRET,\nJASON, NATHAN WALL.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS\nDR. LAURA, I AM THE OWNER OF THE\nVETERINARY HOSPITAL WHICH HAS\nBEEN SERVING NORTH BEACON HILL\nIN RAINIER VALLEY SINCE THE\n1950s. I AM NOT HERE TO DEBATE\nHOMELESSNESS Y AM HERE TO\nDESCRIBE THE UNCHECKED\nLAWLESSNESS, LOOKS LIKE OUTSIDE\nMY BUILDING AND TO HOLD THIS\nCOUNCIL ACCOUNTABLE. FOR NEARLY\nFOUR YEARS WE HAVE ENDURED\nCONSTANT ENCAMPMENT OUTSIDE OUR\nDOOR. STAFF WERE SUBJECTED TO\nLEWD COMMENTS AND INTIMIDATION,\nYOUNG FEMALE EMPLOYEES AND\nSTUDENTS FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL\nJUST UP THE STREET HAVE BEEN\nFOLLOWED, WE WITNESSED DALEY\nDRUG DEALS OUTSIDE OUR GATE,\nPEOPLE INCAPACITATED BY FENTANYL\nIN OUR DRIVEWAY, INDIVIDUALS\nNAKED IN OUR PARKING LOT. LAST\nSUMMER SOMEONE NEARLY BURNED MY\nBUILDING DOWN Y. HAPPENED TO\nARRIVE 6:30 A.M. TO FIND AN\nACTIVE FIRE FOUR FEET FROM MY\nOXYGEN TANKS, OXYGEN IS VERY\nCOMBUSTIBLE. FIVE MINUTES LATER\nTHE BUILDING WOULD HAVE BEEN ON\nFIREWORKS PATIENTS, BUSINESS,\nFIREFIGHTERS' LIVES AT RISK. I\nCALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TWICE\nFOR CAMP FIRES UNDER THE\nPHARMACY, ONE OF OUR NEIGHBOR'S\nROOF, WE GAVE THE CITY FOOTAGE\nOF THE ARSONIST WHO BURNED DOWN\nTHE FRUIT STAND ACROSS THE\nSTREET FROM US. WE BREATHED\nTOXIC SMOKE FROM CAMP FIRES\nBURNING TRASH ON OUR SIDEWALK.\nOUR FENCE WAS CUT, ROOF WAS\nBROKEN THROUGH, OUR LOT HAS BEEN\nBREACHED AND ITEMS HAVE BEEN\nSTOLEN. WE CALLED THE CITY, THE\nSEATTLE POLICE, REPEATEDLY,\nNOTHING HAPPENS. DURING THE PAST\nFOUR YEARS VANS AND RVs LEAKING\nHUMAN WASTE AND STEALING TRASH\nSAT OUTSIDE OUR BUSINESS WHILE\nTHE CITY IGNORED ITS OWN CODES.\nTHREATENED TO FINE US IF WE\nDIDN'T CLEAN THE CITY-OWNED\nALLEY BEHIND US. WE REMOVED\n2,000 POUNDS OF TRASH AT OUR\nEXPENSE, IT COST CLIENTS,\nREVENUE, AND SAFETY.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE\nMICHAEL, FOLLOWED BY JEFF, MATT,\nGARRET, JASON, NATHAN, SCOTT,\nSCOTT, AND JACK.\nHELLO. HI. I AM MICHAEL, A\nMT. BAKER RESIDENT, BUSINESS\nOWNER, NON-PROFIT DIRECTOR AND\nBOARD MEMBER OF A MUTUAL AID\nORGANIZATION. YOU HAVE RECEIVED\nNARRATIVES FROM MANY TODAY,\nINCLUDING MINE, INWANT TO FOCUS\nON THE SYSTEM LEVEL ISSUES\nDRIVING WHAT YOU ARE HEARING,\nAND HOW TO FIX THEM. RIGHT NOW\nTHE SYSTEM IS IS STRUCTURED, 30\nYEARS IN AND PROVIDERS ARE\nSPENDING TIME SEARCHING FOR THE\nNEXT SITE. THAT INSTABILITY\nUNDERMINES ABILITY TO REBUILD.\nTHERE IS A PLANNING PROBLEM. WE\nSHOULD HAVE A ROLLING PIPELINE\nOF SITES AT LEAST A YEAR IN\nADVANCE, WITHOUT THAT WE ARE\nCONTINUING REPEATED CONFLICTS\nBETWEEN NEIGHBORS, PROVIDERS,\nAND AGENCIES. THERE IS SPACE,\nSEATTLE 83.9 SQUARE MILES, OVER\n40,000 FOOTBALL FIELDS. THE\nISSUE ISN'T LAND T IS HOW WE\nARE STRUCTURING ACCESS TO IT\nFROM PERMITTING AND CODE\nSTANDPOINT, THERE ARE WAYS TO\nMAKES SITES MORE VIABLE, FEW\nPRACTICAL CHANGES, LOWER, ALLOW\nHYGIENE AND OPERATE MORE\nEFFICIENTLY. OFFER INCENTIVES TO\nLAND OWNERS. CREATE A PERMIT IN\nPLACE OPTION, NEAR COMPLIANCE,\nSET CLEAR STANDARDS THAT ALLOW\nSITES TO STABILIZE WHERE THEY\nARE WHEN APPROPRIATE AND CREATE\nPATHWAY TO DEVELOP SITES DURING\nPERMITTING OR CONSTRUCTION\nDELAYS, WITHIN INCENTIVES LIKE\nREDUCTIONS AND LIABILITY\nCOVERAGE. THESE ARE SOLVABLE\nOPERATIONAL PROBLEMS. I WOULD BE\nINTERESTED IN CONTINUING THE\nCONVERSATION WITH ANYONE WORKING\nON IMPLEMENTATION. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT, JEFF, MATT,\nTHEN GARRET, JASON, NATHAN. HI,\nJEFF.\nHELLO. MY NAME IS JEFF. I\nWANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR\nTHE WORK YOU DO.

IT IS A PRETTY GOOD\nCONSTITUENCY, ALL VOLUNTEER . IT\nIS WOMEN, MEN, DIFFERENT AGES,\nDIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, BUT WE\nCOME TOGETHER TO LEARN HOW TO\nENGAGE THE CITY. SO I JUST AM\nACTUALLY VOLUNTEERING TO ANY\nCOUNCIL PERSON THAT WOULD WANT\nTO MEET WITH ME, OR A GROUP OF\nBUSINESS PEOPLE TO SAY WE WANT\nTO PARTNER WITH YOU AND PARTNER\nWITH THE CITY. THE CITY IS WORTH\nFIGHTING FOR. I DEFEND BECAUSE I\nPRAY FOR YOU EVERY WEEK, LIKE\nFINALLY I GET TO ACTUALLY SEE\nTHE FACES. I WANT TO THANK YOU\nFOR YOUR GOOD WORK.

EACH\nMONTH THERE ARE PASTORS COMING\nTOGETHER THAT AREN'T INTO THE\nTOXIC NATIONAL IDEOLOGICAL\nDRAMA, BUT WANT TO DO GOOD FOR\nSEATTLE, THEY LOVE THE CITY,\nTHEY LOVE JESUS, THEY REALLY\nLOVE SEATTLE, THEY WANT TO SERVE\nTHIS CITY. EVERY MONTH AROUND\nHOMELESSNESS, HUMAN TRAFFICKING,\nAROUND HOW TO SUPPORT OUR\nIMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS, REALLY\nAPPRECIATED AWARENESS OF SEXUAL\nVIOLENCE WE HAVE CHURCHES THAT\nCARE DEEPLY ABOUT THESE ISSUES.\nTHEY WANT TO SERVE THE CITY.\nLIKE JEFF SAID, I WANT TO MAKE\nMYSELF AVAILABLE, IF YOU WANT TO\nBUILD BRIDGES, THE LEADERS\nCOMING TOGETHER IN YOUR\nDISTRICTS, I WANT TO BE\nAVAILABLE TO YOU AND APPRECIATE\nEVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, MATT. NEXT IS\nGARRET, JASON, NATHAN, SCOTT,\nSCOTT, AND JACK.\nI WAS BORN IN SEATTLE, ALMOST\n62 YEARS AGO, AND THIS SMIE\nFIRST TIME TO SEATTLE SILTY\nCOUNCIL MEETING, I AM SO\nGRATEFUL TO BE HERE. AS MY\nFRIENDS SHARED, WE ARE SO\nGRATEFUL FOR EACH ONE OF YOU Y.\nAM A . I PRAY FOR EACH ONE OF\nYOU BY NAME. WE VALUE AND\nAPPRECIATE THE HARD WORK THAT\nYOU ARE DOING AND THE\nCHALLENGING JOB THAT YOU HAVE\nBEFORE YOU. I AM ALSO, LIKE\nJEFF, FROM A LONG LINE OF\nSEATTLEITES, MY PARENTS MOVED\nHERE IN THE EARLY 1940s, I\nDIDN'T KNOW THIS, BUT MY MOM\nWAS A SEA-FAIR PRINCESS, MISS\nCHINATOWN. SHE GRADUATED FROM\nGARFIELD IN 1952 AND CHERYL CHOW\nIS A GOOD FRIEND, WAS A GOOD\nFRIEND OF OUR FAMILY AS WELL. SO\nTHANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP THAT\nDEAR WOMAN THAT SHE WAS AND ALSO\nI WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR\nYOUR PROCLAMATION AGAINST SEXUAL\nVIOLENCE, WE HAVE HAD CLOSE\nFRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS\nAFFECTED AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO\nCONTINUE TO RAISE AWARENESS AND\nBRING THESE THINGS TO LIGHT. I\nHAVE BEEN A LIFE-LONG SEATTLE\nSPORTS FAN, MYSELF, I REMEMBER\nAS A LITTLE KID CLIMBING UNDER\nCOVERS WITH THE RADIO LISTENING\nTO SONICS GAME BUT I AM EXCITED\nABOUT THE WORLD CUP BEING HERE,\nI AM A LIFE LONG SOCCER PLAYER\nAS WELL. THERE IS A GROUP THAT\nGATHERED TOGETHER, WE GO BY\nVICTORYSEATTLE.ORG, A COALITION\nOF PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER\nUNITING THE FAITH COMMUNITY,\nBUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN DIVERSE\nNEIGHBORS, HAVING WATCH PARTIES,\nWORKING WITH DIFFERENT\nNON-PROFITS, FIGHTING HUMAN\nTRAFFICKING. WE ARE EXCITED FOR\nTHE CUP AND WHAT WILL COME WITH\nTHAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE JASON\nFOLLOWED BY NATHAN AND THEN\nSCOTT.\nI HATE IT WHEN IT DOES THAT: I HATE IT WHEN IT DOES THAT.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL MEMBERS,\nMY NAME IS JASON, LIFE LONG\nRESIDENT OF KING COUNTY, MOST OF\nMY CAREER WORKING IN SEATTLE,\nPROUD MEMBER AND SERVE AS A\nLEADWER UA LOCAL 32 PLUMBERS AND\nHVAC. I URGE YOU TO ACT NOW ON\nINFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS BY\nINVESTING IN THE SEATTLE CENTER.\nWE NEED A ADDRESS AGING\nFACILITIES AND PUT ICING ON THE\nCAGE. I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE\nSINCE I WAS A KID AND HAVE A LOT\nOF FOUND MEMORIES, A PLACE THAT\nBRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER AND\nDRIVES LOCAL ECONOMY THROUGH\nEVENTS, TOURISM&SMALL BUSINESS\nACTIVITY. LIKE ME, 25-YEAR\nPIPEFITTER, IT SHOWING ITS AGE.\nACT NOW SO YOU CAN PROVIDE OUR\nFUTURE CHILDREN SIMILAR\nMEMORIES. WAITING ONLY MAKES\nTHINGS WORSE, DEFERRED\nMAINTENANCE DOES NOT GET\nCHEAPER, CONSTRUCTION COST AND\nINTEREST RATES ARE UNPREDICTABLE\nAND DELAY S TODAY WILL MEAN\nHIGHER COSTS TOMORROW. INVESTING\nNOW LOWS US TO IMPROVE SAFETY,\nACCESSIBILITY, AND COMMUNITY\nUSE. IT KEEPS SKILLED WORKERS ON\nTHE JOB, SUPPORTS APPRENTICESHIP\nPROGRAMS THAT TRAIN FOR THE NEXT\nGENERATION. THE ECONOMY IN A\nSLUMP, MANY MEMBERS ARE READY TO\nGO TO WORK RIGHT NOW, PUT THIS\nON THE BALLOT MEANS THESE\nPROJECTS CAN START SOONER AND\nSUPPORT FAMILY WAGE UNION JOBS\nHERE AT HOME. THIS IS THE RIGHT\nTIME TO INVEST IN OUR\nINFRASTRUCTURE, OUR WORKFORCE,\nAND OUR FUTURE, I URGE YOU TO\nACT NOW, THANK YOU.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU. NEXT WE\nHAVE NATHAN FOLLOWED BY SCOTT,\nTHEN SCOTT, THEN JACK.\nTHANK YOU. FIRST, I WANT TO\nREITERATE MY CALL FOR MAYOR\nWILSON TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON HER\nCAMPAIGN PROMISE AND TURN OFF\nTHE CAMERAS, THIS IS NOT A GOOD\nTIME TO INCREASE SURVEILLANCE\nUNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.\nI WANT TO REITERATE I DON'T\nTRUST THE SEATTLE POLICE\nDEPARTMENT TO COMPLY IN GOOD\nFAITH WITH KEEP WASHINGTON\nWORKING ACT WITH PROFESSIONALISM\nSTANDARDS OR WITH THE\nRECENTLY-PASSED BILLS BY THE\nSEATTLE CITY COUNCIL, WHICH HAVE\nBEEN PRETTY GOOD. I DON'T TRUST\nTHE SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO\nCOMPLY WITH IT. SO HOW DO WE GET\nTHEM TO DO THAT AS A CITY? HOW\nDO WE MAKE SURE OFFICERS COMPLY\nWITH THESE RULES? YOU KNOW, I\nUNDERSTAND IT IS PROBABLY NOT\nCONSTITUTIONAL TO SAY WE CAN\nJUST FIRE OFFICERS FOR THEIR\nPOLITICAL BELIEFS BUT THERE\nTHOOZ BE SOME WAY THEY HAVE BODY\nCAMERAS, IFEEL LIKE THIS IS\nSOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE\nMORE CONCERNED ABOUT, ESPECIALLY\nWITH THE WORLD CUP COMING UP. WE\nNEED TO EXPECT I.C.E COULD COME\nTO SEATTLE IN LARGE NUMBERS\nDURING THE WORLD CUP, AND THAT\nIS SOMETHING WE NEED TO PREPARE\nFOR. I GUESS THIS MIGHT NOT BE\nPROP TO SAY BUT I AM NOT\nTERRIBLY EXCITED WITH THE WORLD\nCUP WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON IN\nTHE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW I THINK\nFOLKS SHOULD NOT BE COMING TO\nTHIS COUNTRY. I THINK WE SHOULD\nBE EXPERIENCING BOYCOTTS AND I\nTHINK THE WORLD CUP SHOULD BE\nBOYCOTTED BY PEOPLE. SO, THAT\nSMIE PERSONAL OPINION, I DON'T\nTHINK THIS WILL BE VERY POPULAR\nHERE, BUT EITHER WAY WE NEED TO\nPREPARE FOR IT. FUCK I.C.E.\nTHANK YOU, NATHAN. NEXT,\nSCOTT, FOLLOWED BY SCOTT, THEN\nJACK. HEY, SCOTT.\nI AM SCOTT BUZZARD, TODAY\nHERE TO DEMAND THE CITY COUNCIL\nTAKE AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION\nAGAINST INCREASING SURVEILLANCE,\nAND TO CUT TIES WITH AX ON\nCOMPANY THAT SUPPLY THE CAMERAS\nBECAUSE THE CAMERAS, THE\nTECHNOLOGY IS A TOOL OF\nGENOCIDE. THE CAMERAS CONTRIBUTE\nTO THE DEATH OF THOUSANDS OF\nCHILDREN AND FAMILIES THROUGH\nTHE DADDY'S HOME TACTIC USED BY\nISRAELI MILITARY TO KILL\nPALESTINIAN MEN. IF YOU\nREPRESENTED THE INTEREST OF THE\nPEOPLE, AS YOU CLAIM YOU DO, YOU\nWOULD UNDERSTAND THE PEOPLE'S\nCONCERNS WITH THE VERY SIM\nTECHNOLOGY BEING USED IN OUR\nCITY. YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THE\nCONCERNS WITH LACK OF TANGIBLE\nMEASURE TAKEN AGAINST\nPRIVATEIZED SURVEILLANCE. THE\nCAMERAVISE BEEN PROVEN TO BE\nUSED BY I.C.E AND DHS IN ILLEGAL\nKIDNAPPING OF IMMIGRANT\nCOMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.\nAS UNIVERSITY STUDENT I CAN\nATTEST TO MY FACULTY AND FRIENDS\nBEING DETAINED AND HOW THE\nTECHNOLOGY MIGHT HAVE BEEN USED\nMAKES ME SICK. NO PERSON IN THE\nCITY SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE IN FEAR\nTHAT CAMERAS WILL USED TO\nHARASS. TO COMBAT POTENTIAL\nTERRORISM, IS ANOTHER EXCUSE\nMADE TO JUSTIFY MILITARYISM AND\nSECURITY EXPANSION. WE SEE WITH\nTHE MEDIA RHETORIC ON ECONOMIC\nTERRORISM, THE GREAT WAR ON\nTERROR JUSTIFYING ANOTHER\nATTACK. CEMENTMATIC OF THE\nDEMONTEIC PARTARY, YOU AS A\nWHOLE, WHERE WEAK SPINES\nPREVAIL. WE MUST REMOVE THE\nSECURITY SYSTEM BY ANY MEANS\nNECESSARY TO PROTECT THE WORKING\nCLASS. MUST REMOVE THE SECURITY\nSYSTEMS WHOSE ONLY BENEFIT IS\nLINE THE POCKETS OF A FEW WHILE\nMASSES SUFFER UNDER STATE\nVIOLENCE. LONG LIVE THE WORKING\nCLASS.\nTHANK YOU, SCOTT. NEXT WE\nHAVE SCOTT SHULER FOLLOWED BY\nJACK, DID I SAY YOUR NAME RIGHT?\nSKYLER: SKYLER.\nSO SORRY: SO SORRY.\nNOBODY GETS IT RIGHT: NOBODY GETS IT RIGHT.\nYOU ARE GOOD. WELCOME.\nTHANK YOU. HAWN TO BE HERE,\nGOOD AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS SCOTT\nSKYLER, MEMBER OF THE UPPER\nSKAGIT INDIAN TRIBE AND ELDER\nAND POLICY REP. I WOULD LIKE TO\nTALK ABOUT THE SEATTLE CITY\nLIGHT NEGOTIATEED SETTLEMENT,\nWHICH WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF AND\nHOPE THE CITY COUNCIL SEEKS TO\nAPPROVE THIS TODAY AND LOOKING\nFORWARD TO IMPLEMENTATION BUT\nTHE UPPER SKAGIT PEOPLE ARE\nPEOPLE LINED THE SKAGIT RIVER UP\nTO THE SEATTLE CITY LIGHT\nPROJECT AREA, WHAT IS SEATTLE\nCITY LIGHT NEGOTIATEED\nSETTLEMENT MEAN TO US? HAS GONE\nON A FOR EIGHT YEARS BUT TAKEN\nOEVER A HUNDRED YEARS FOR IT TO\nCOME TO FRUITION. EVERYTHING\nTHAT HAPPENED SINCE 1921 WHEN\nTHE DAMS WERE FIRST BUILT HAD TO\nHAPPEN TO GET US TO THIS POINT\nIN TIME. EVERYTHING NEEDED TO\nOCCUR TO MAKE THE SETTLEMENT\nPOSSIBLE, SO IF WE DO MOVE\nIMPLEMENTATION OF THE\nSETTLEMENT, WHAT IT MEANS TO THE\nUPPER SKAGIT PEOPLE, IT GIVES\nBACK OUR IDENTITY, ABOUT\nRESTORATIVE JUSTICE TO US, WE\nARE LOOKING FORWARD TO FULL\nIMPLEMENTATION AS QUICKLY AS\nPOSSIBLE AND ADDRESSING\nLONG-TERM HARMS. IT ACKNOWLEDGES\nWHAT THE DAMS WERE BUILT VALLEY\nOF SPIRIT, ACKNOWLEDGE OUR\nCULTURE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,\nTHE BEST PART OF THE SETTLEMENT,\nWE CAN COME HOME FOR THE FIRST\nTIME IN WELL OVER A HUNDRED\nYEARS, SO, THANK YOU, LOOK\nFORWARD TO YOUR SUPPORT.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH.\nWE HAVE MR. JACK.\nYEAH: YEAH.\nWELCOME: WELCOME.\nHONORABLE COUNCIL MEMBERS: HONORABLE COUNCIL MEMBERS.\nTHE CITY OF SEATTLE BLOCKED THE\nSKAGIT RIVER TO SALMON OVER A\nCENTURY AGO. EVEN THEN IN 1919\nSTATE LAW PROHIBITED BLOCKAGE OF\nSALMON-BEARING STREAMS. CITY\nLIGHTS FOUNDING FATHER, JD ROSS,\nKNEW IT WAS PROHIBITED, BUT DID\nIT ANYWAY. BUT OUR PEOPLE,\nWITHIN WHOSE TERRITORY YOUR\nHYDROELECTRIC FACILITIES WERE\nNOT CONSULTED. HOWEVER, LIKE\nSEATTLE, WE HAVE BEEN GATHERING\nPOWER FOR A HUNDRED YEARS. WE\nNOW KNOW, AS DOES THE STATE OF\nWASHINGTON, FROM WHAT IS CALLED\nTHE COVERTS CASE, THAT OUR\nTREATIES HAVE POWER. THE SKAGIT\nRIVER OF THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS,\nTHAT IS OUR BLACK HILLS. IT IS\nTHE AMAZON OF THE PACIFIC\nNORTHWEST, AND WE WILL NOT STOP\nFIGHTING FOR ITS PROTECTION\nBECAUSE, LIKE THE SALMON, WATER\nIS SACRED. DOWN STREAM FROM YOUR\nDAMS, PUGET SOUND ENERGY HAVE\nFISH PASSAGE, WHICH BROUGHT\nSALMON IN THE BAKER RIVER FROM\nNEAR EXTINCTION 292,000 SALMON.\nIN THE SKAGIT RIVER THERE ARE\nTHREE SPECIES OF SALMON ON THE\nTHREATENED OR ENDANGERED SPECIES\nRIGHT NOW. THE AGREEMENT BEFORE\nYOU, IF FULFILLED IN GOOD FAITH,\nWILL MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE\nNEXT 50 YEARS, AND WE WILL HELP\nYOU MAKE A SUCCESS. THANK YOU.\nBECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO END N\nVOLVE SOME CONSTRUCTION, I HAVE\nSOMETHING I WANT YOU TO BUILD,\nBECAUSE, REMEMBER, THERE IS 1%\nFOR ART.\nTHANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR.\nJACK. YOU SANG THE HILLS ARE OUR\nAMAZON HERE IN THE PACIFIC\nNORTHWEST GOT ME, REALLY GOT ME,\nRIGHT THERE. THANK YOU. NEXT WE\nHAVE BILLY, WELCOME, BILLY.\nBILLY IS A GREAT BASEBALL PLAY,\nI WANT TO THROW THAT OUT THERE.\nTHEN GABRIEL, YVETTE.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL\nPRESIDENT, AND REST OF THE FULL\nCOUNCIL, I AM BILLY AND I LOOK\nMORE LIKE A LEADOFF HITTER THAN\nCLEAN UP HITTER TODAY. I DON'T\nWANT TO REPEAT A LOT OF STUFF\nTHAT MY BROTHERS AND SISTER SAID\nEARLIER BUT I AM HERE IN STRONG\nSUPPORT OF BRINGING SEATTLE\nCENTER BOND INITIATIVE THIS\nNOVEMBER. LETS BRING SONICS BACK\nTO AN AREA TO SEATTLE CENTER\nCAMPUS THAT IS GOING TO BE WORLD\nCLASS. I THINK WE WILL HAVE A\nGENERATION WHERE WE ARE AT WITH\nCLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA, BUILDING A\nSECOND MEMORIAL STADIUM BUT HAVE\nTHE BONES OF THE SEATTLE CENTER\nTHAT IS NOW 64 YEARS OLD. IT IS\nNOT JUST ABOUT BRINGING\nCONSTRUCTION JOBS TO DO THE WORK\nTHERE, IT IS ABOUT THE EMPLOYEES\nCURRENTLY, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A\nLOT OF REPRESENTED FOLKS THERE,\nSTAGE HANDS, MUSICIANS,\nMAINTENANCE WORKERS, FOLKS THAT\nWORK AT THE ARMORY, THAT THOSE\nNUMBERS AND REVENUE COMING IN\nARE DWINDLING BECAUSE THE\nSEATTLE CENTER WITH THE AGING\nINFRASTRUCTURE HAS TO COMPETE\nWITH ALL THE DIFFERENT NEW\nARENAS IN THE AREA, ALL THE NEW\nPARKS AND EVENT SPACES THAT HAVE\nBEEN PUT IN PLACE SINCE THE\n1960s WHEN ORIGINALLY BUILT. WE\nNEED SEATTLE TO COMPETE. IF WE\nADD THE SONICS AND KNOW ONCE WE\nADD THE SONICS, CLIMATE PLEDGE\nALINA WILL BE TOP FIVE IN THE\nWORLD AS FAR AS EVENTS COMING TO\nSEATTLEMENT MADISON SQUARE\nGARDEN AND A COUPLE OTHERS BUT\nOVER 250 EVENTS EVERY SINGLE\nYEAR RIGHT THERE AT CLIMATE\nPLEDGE ARENA AND NEED TO BRING\nTHEM TO A WORLD CLASS FACILITY.\nPLEASE WORK WITH THE 7th FLOOR\nAND TRY TO FIGURE A WAY TO GET\nTHIS PUSHED FORWARD INTO\nNOVEMBER AND ON THE BALLOT,\nSTRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT.\nGABRIEL, YVETTE, RACHEL, THEN\nONLINE SPEAKERS.\nFIRSTLY, CANNOT START WITHOUT\nASKING FOLKS TO SAY A PRAYER FOR\nTHE PEOPLE OF IRAN AFTER OUR\nPRESIDENT THREATENED GENOCIDE\nAGAINST THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. NOW\nMANY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE SPOKEN\nAGAINST I.C.E, SOME ISSUES,\nREASONS WE HAVE SPOKEN OUT IS\nI.C.E IS UNACCOUNTABLE,\nDANGEROUS, INJURED AND HURT\nPEOPLE AND CAN GET AWAY WITH\nWHATEVER THEY WANT BECAUSE THEY\nHAVE POLITICAL POWER BEHIND\nTHEM. MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN WE\nGIVE THOSE ARGUMENTS ABOUT I.C.E\nBUT NOT ABOUT SPD? Y'ALL Y AM\nSURE ALL OF YOU SAW THIS IMAGE,\nTHIS IS THE IMAGE OF SOMEONE\nBEING PEPPER PRAYED WHILE ON THE\nGROUND, TWO WOMEN, WHILE ON THE\nGROUND. WE TALK ABOUT\nUNACCOUNTABILITY OF I.C.E, BUT I\nWILL SHARE TWO FACTS THAT\nSURPRISE NOBODY THAT WAS THERE\nTHAT DAY. ONE, OPA FOUND NO\nWRONG DOING FOR THE OFFICER\nSPRAYING THE PERSON ON THE\nGROUND, THEY WILL NOT RECEIVE\nDISCIPLINARY ACTION, HIS BODY\nCAM WAS OFF . WE HAVE SO MANY\nPEOPLE ON THIS, WHO HAD AROUND\nTHE AREA, HAD BODY CAM ON BUT\nSURPRISINGLY THE OFFICERS WAS\nOFF. HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE,\nOFFICER CALY HEINZMAN WASCUSED\nOF PUNCHING PROTESTERS ON THE\nHEAD WHOOL ON THE GROUND, HAND\nRESTRAINED, ALSO, NO BODY CAM.\nTHERE A CONSTANT HISTORY OF\nPOLICE TURNING OFF BODY CAM OR\nNOT TURNING THEM ON DURING\nMOMENTS WHEN THEY WANT TO GET\nROUGH WITH PEOPLE. ANOTHER CASE\nINVESTIGATED BY OPA WHEN AN\nOFFICER SHOT SOMEBODY DURING THE\nPROTESTS IN THE BACK OF THE\nWEAPON WHILE SHOT IN THE BACK,\nHE WAS GIVEN NOTICE ASHGZ FOR\nSHOOTING HIM IN THE BACK ONLY\nGIVEN A SUPERVISOR WARNING,\nSTERN TALKING TO FOR NOT WARNING\nHE WOULD SHOOT HIM IN THE BACK\nWHILE RUNNING AWAY, NOT\nCOMMITTING A CRIME. LASTING\nMEDICAL ISSUES, BECOME DISABLED\nLEAVING ME WITH SOME CONSTANT\nAMNESIA I HAD TO LEAVE MY JOB. I\nDON'T KNOW IF I AM GOING TO\nWORK AGAIN. WE NEED TO--\nTHANK YOU, GABRIEL. NEXT WE\nHAVE YVETTEE FOLLOWED BY RACHEL.\nIF YOU ARE ONLINE, WE ARE COMING\nTO YOU NEXT. THANK YOU.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL\nMEMBERS.\nGOOD AFTERNOON: GOOD AFTERNOON.\nTO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED: TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED\nSTATES AMERICA, AND TO THE\nREPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS,\nONE NATION, UNDER GOD,\nINDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND\nJUSTICE FOR ALL. I WANT TO GIVE\nA SHOUTOUT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL\nCHAMPIONS, KING COUNTY\nMETROPOLITAN MEETING, PRETTY\nCOOL. I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT\nMAYOR WILSON HAS AMBITIOUS GOAL\nTO BUILD 500 SHELTER BY JUNE 1,\nMANY WHO FLEE DANGEROUS\nSITUATIONS END UP IN HOMELESS\nENCAMPMENTS WAITING FOR SHELTER,\nFAR TOO OFTEN WITH YOUNG\nCHILDREN IN TOW. ONE ALTERNATIVE\nIS BUILD TINY HOMES IS TOP\nSHEDS, THEY PROVIDE STYLES AND\nVISUALLY APPEALING, PLUS COST\nEFFECTIVE. THE ONES I SAW AT\nLOWES $2400 TO $5,000,\nPOTENTIALLY 500 BY MAY 1. I WANT\nTHEM, BECAUSE MT. BAKER\nCOMMUNITY SHOWED UP TODAY,\nWONDERING IF THEY ARE CONSIDERED\nA COMMUNITY SENTINEL AS FAR AS\nPATROLLING THE COMMUNITY TO, AS\nDETERRENT FOR ALL THE DRAMA\nGOING ON THERE. OTHER THAN THAT,\nI AM GOOD TO GO. THANK YOU VER Y\nMUCH.\nTHANK YOU. BUDDHISM, ORANGE,\nIS ENLIGHTENMENT, AND THE\nHIGHEST FORM OF SPIRITUALITY.\nTHAT FITS YOU. YOU ARE NEXT.\nGOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL\nMEMBER, MEMBERS OF THE CITY\nCOUNCIL. I WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE\nPUBLIC COMMENT TODAY BUT I CAME\nIN TO WATCH BUT HEARD YOU WERE\nGIVING A PROCLAMATION FOR SEXUAL\nASSAULT AND I WANT TO THANK YOU\nFOR THAT. I AM-- I HAVE BEEN A\nVICTIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND I\nKNOW THAT HOW ISOLATING IT IS TO\nCOME OUT WITH IT YAZ AM DOING IT\nNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME. TO THE\nPUBLIC. US, AS VICTIMS OF SEXUAL\nSALT, KNOW HOW ISOLATING IT IS\nTO WHICH OUT AND TALK ABOUT IT,\nBECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID WE ARE NOT\nGOING TO BE BELIEVED, WE ARE\nGOING TO BE SHAMED. I WAS\nWEARING TOO MANY HEELS,\nSTILETTOS WERE TOO HIGH, I ASKED\nFOR IT OR I WAS TOO VOLNERABLE,\nI DIDN'T STICK UP FOR MYSELF. I\nKNOW THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH. I\nCOULDN'T BE MORE GRATEFUL FOR\nTHIS DAY. US, AS SEATTLEITES, AS\nALECTED OFFICIALS, AS COMMUNITY\nLEADERS, AS ORGANIZERS, AS\nCOALITION BUILDERS, AS ELECTED\nOFFICIALS AND AS OVERALL, JUST\nHUMAN BEING ON THIS EARTH, WE\nHAVE COME A LONG WAY WHEN IT\nCOMES TO SEXUAL ASSAULT. BUT THE\nNEWLY PASSED MILLIONAIRES WEALTH\nTAX, WE NEED TO BE-- WE NEED TO\nBE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT\nFUNDING AND USE IT TO MAKE SURE\nWE ARE USING THAT TOWARD MORE\nFUNDS FOR VICTIMS, LIKE MYSELF\nAND OTHERS, AND WE ARE IN THIS\nALL TOGETHER, SO I REALLY AM\nGRATEFUL TO THANK YOU.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU, RACHEL.\nTHANK YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE AND\nVULNERABILITY TODAY DURING THAT\nPUBLIC COMMENT. THANK YOU FOR\nTHAT.

THANK\nYOU FOR LETTING ME CHAT TODAY\nWITH Y'ALL. LAST WEEK I WAS\nVERY THANKFUL TO HAVE CITY\nCOUNCIL BRING OUT THE TRANSDAY\nOF PROCLAMATION, THE\nPROCLAMATION FOR THE TRANSDAY OF\nDISABILITY, AND THAT WAS VERY\nGOOD, VERY HELPFUL, HOWEVER, WE\nARE SEEING IN THE WORLD THAT\nWORDS ARE DOING SO MUCH BUT WE\nNEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE DOING\nACTION. THE PROCLAMATION TODAY\nABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS\nIS ALSO HELPFUL. THAT IS\nSOMETHING THAT, AS A TRANS\nPERSON IS AN ENDEMIC, A LOT OF\nUS EXPERIENCE SEXUAL ASSAULT,\nSOMETHING WE ARE VERY COMMON\nWITH. AS WE ARE LOOKING FOR\nTHINGS TO BE DOING IN THE\nFUTURE, WE HAVE TO BE NOT JUST\nDOING WHAT LITTLE PIECE THINGS\nLITTLE BY LITTLE, WE ALSO HAVE\nTO BE WORKING AS QUICKLY AS WE\nCAN TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS.\nTHERE ARE REAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE\nGOING TO NEED IMMEDIATE ACTION.\nI DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL ARE\nAWARE, WE HAVE EIGHT DAYS BEFORE\nTHE STOCK PILE OF GAS RUNS OUT\nIN THE U.S. IT IS IMPERATIVE\nTHAT WE, AS A CITY, THAT ALL THE\nCITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYER\nAND EVERYBODY GET TOGETHER TO\nTRY AND WORK ON THAT, TO TRY AND\nSEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO GET AHEAD\nOF THIS, BECAUSE WE ARE REACHING\nA SITUATION THAT PEOPLE ARE\nCOMPARING TO THE BEGINNING OF\nCOVID. WE ARE HAVING THINGS, AN\nENTIRELY NEW WORLD SHOWN BEFORE\nUS, IF WE DO NOT GET AHEAD T IS\nGOING TO SWAMP UP.

I WILL BE A LITTLE\nWORDY BECAUSE THIS IS A HUGE\nLIFT FROM MOVING ACROSS THE\nFINISH LINE FROM EIGHT YEARS\nAGO, I HAVE PREPARED COMMENTS.\nWORK ON THIS COMPREHENSIVE\nSETTLEMENT AGREEMENT STARTED IN\n2018, THAT IS EIGHT YEARS AGO,\nCREATES A 50 YEAR LICENSE WHICH\nPRODUCES CARBON FREE FOR\nSEATTLE, AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN\nTHREE TRIBES, TWO STATE AGENCY,\nSKAGIT COUNTY AND FIVE\nENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS. IT\nCONTAINS OFF LICENSING\nAGREEMENTS AND REPRESENTS ABOUT\n$4 BILLION. WE DISCUSS THE\nAGREEMENT AT TWO COMMITTEE\nMEETINGS MARCH 18th AND APRIL 1\nAND PASS IT OUT OF COMMITTEE 50.\nCITY LIGHT GAVE TWO\nPRESENTATIONSB IN DEPTH ON THE\nAGREEMENT, HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF\nTHE LICENSING GOING BACK TO\n1927, AND WHAT HAPPENS DURING\nTHE PROCESS WHICH STARTS AFTER\nTHE CITY'S STEP THREE PROCESS\nOF PASSING THROUGH COMMITTEE,\nFULL COUNCIL, AND TO THE\nMAYOR'S OFFICE. IF, INDEED, IT\nPASSES TODAY. WE ARE HONORED TO\nHOST A PANEL OF TRIBAL\nLEADERSHIP AT THE MARCH 18th\nCOMMITTEE. THE PANEL WAS MADE OF\nCHAIRMAN NINO, COUNCIL MEMBER\nKEVIN LENNON AND JACK, GENERAL\nCOUNCIL FROM YAKIMA NATION FROM\nTHE INDIAN TRIBE, AND THEN WE\nALSO HAD CHAIRMAN STEVE EDWARDS\nAND VICE CHAIRMAN BRIAN PORTER\nFROM THE INDIAN TRIBAL COMMUNITY\nAND WE HAD MR. SCOTT SKYLER,\nPOLICY LEAD, AND DAVID HAWKINS,\nATTORNEY FROM UPPER SKAGIT\nINDIAN TRIBE, I SHOULD ADD WE\nHAD A CHANCE TO HEAR FROM MR.\nSKYLER TODAY DURING PUBLIC\nCOMMENT. THANK YOU FOR BEING\nHERE, MR. SKYLER. THE TRIBE\nSPOKE ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE OF\nTHE LICENSING PROCESS AND\nHISTORY IN&THE IMPORTANCE TO\nTRIBES. BEFORE WE GO ON, I WANT\nTO THANK-- SOME THANK YOUS,\nBRIEFLY, A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO\nCOUNCIL MEMBER KETTLE, COUNCIL\nMEMBER STRAUSS, COUNCIL MEMBER\nSAKA, AND COUNCIL MEMBER RIVERA,\nFOR THEIR AUTHENTIC AND MUCH\nAPPRECIATED PARTICIPATION IN THE\nCONCLUSION OF THIS EIGHT-YEAR\nPROCESS, AND ESPECIALLY THANKS,\nOF COR, TO COUNCIL MEMBER RINCK,\nWHO WAS FORMER CHAIR OF THIS\nCOMMITTEE. OF COURSE, THANK YOU\nTO MAYOR WILSON AND HER STAFF.\nSKAGIT, WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO\nTHANK SEATTLE CITY LIGHT, CRAIG\nSMITH, SEATTLE CITY LIGHT\nINTERIM GM AND CEO, DENNIS\nMCLARYN, CHRIS TOWNSEND, MARA\nBURGER, BRIDGET MALINA, AND,\nLETS SEE, STEVEN, MATT LOVE, AND\nERIC MCCONAUGHEY FROM CENTRAL\nSTAFF. THAT BEING SAID, THIS HAS\nBEEN A LONG PROCESS AND I AM\nHOPING THAT WE WILL ALL BE\nENDEAVOR AS COUNCIL MEMBER\nSTRAUSS SAID, ENDEAVOR TO VOTE\nYES TODAY AND HAVE THIS MOVE\nFORWARD AFTER EIGHT YEARS.\nAGAIN, THANK TRIBE LEADERSHIP\nFOR BEING PRESENT TODAY. RAISE\nOUR HANDS TO YOU, THANK YOU.\nWITH THAT, IF THERE IS ANYONE\nELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT.\nI WAS TAKEN OVER A FOR MINUTE,\nGOING TO A VOTE BUT THAT IS YOUR\nJOB.\nNO, THAT WAS GREAT. THANK YOU\nFOR THAT REPORT. WE KNOW THERE\nWAS A LOT OF HARD WORK IN THIS,\nAND COUNCIL MEMBER JUAREZ, THANK\nYOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THIS\nDURING THE COMMITTEE, AND ARE\nTHERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS DURING\nTHIS TIME? COUNCIL MEMBER\nSTRAUSS?\nTHANK YOU. I WILL KEEP THIS\nBRIEF BECAUSE I HAD COUNCIL\nMEMBER JUAREZ SPEAK WITH MY\nREMARKS AT THE FIRST COMMITTEE\nMEETING, I ALREADY SPENT TOO\nMUCH TIME TALKING ABOUT HOW I AM\nNOT GOING TO TALK. WITH THAT,\nTHANK YOU TO OUR TRIBAL LEADER,\nI KNOW NOT ALL OF OUR TRIBAL\nLEADERS ARE HERE TODAY, AND\nTHANK YOU TO THE CITY LIGHT TEAM\nBUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO OUR\nTRIBAL LEADERS. THE REASON I SAY\nTHIS IS BECAUSE I WANT TO FIRST\nTHANK YOU FOR LETTING US BE YOUR\nGUESTS IN THE SKAGIT, YOU\nTOUCHED A LOT ON THE LAST\nHUNDRED YEARS THAT COULD HAVE\nGONE BETTER AND SOMETHING I\nOFTEN TIMES SAY IS TIME DOES NOT\nHEEL WOUNDS, HEALING ACTION\nHEALS WOUNDS, AND THAT IS A BIT\nOF WHAT WE ARE HERE TO DO TODAY.\nTHE SKAGIT RIVER IS ONE OF THE\nHEALTHIEST RIVERS IN OUR AREA\nAND HAS THE HIGHEST SALMON RUN\nIN PUGET SOUND, THAT IS NOT BY\nACCIDENT. THIS IS TO TRIBAL\nLEADERS, THIS IS BECAUSE YOUR\nMILLENNIA OF STEWARDSHIP, YOUR\nCONSERVATION EFFORTS OVER THE\nLAST CENTURY, AND THE POSITIONS\nTHAT YOU HAVE HELD IN THE LAST\nDECADE OF NEGOTIATING THIS\nRELICENSE AGREEMENT. IT IS\nWONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU SITTING\nACROSS THE TABLE FROM US, AND\nDEMANDING THE THINGS THAT YOU\nKNOW WE NEED FOR OUR REGION. ME,\nMY FAMILY, AND OUR FUTURE\nGENERATIONS ARE INDEBTED TO YOU\nFOR WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED\nIN THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE US\nTODAY. I SAY THAT BECAUSE THE\nLAST LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR\nCOLLEAGUES, ROSS LAKE, SO LARGE\nIT GOES FROM ALMOST SKAGIT\nCOUNTY, BUT WHATCOM, TO CANADA,\nTHE LAST LICENSE THERE WAS A\nCONSERVATION AGREEMENT THAT\nCONSERVED AS MUCH LAND AS ROSS\nLAKE OCCUPIES. SO IT IS HARD TO\nSEE IT ALL IN ONE PLACE BUT WHEN\nYOU LOOK AT THE LAKE ON A MAP,\nYOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH WAS\nACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST\nLICENSE, AND THIS AGREEMENT GOES\nEVEN FURTHER. YOUR WILLINGNESS\nTO WORK WITH US IN AN OFF\nLICENSE AGREEMENT AND YOUR\nCOMMITMENT TO HOLD US TO ACCOUNT\nIS WHAT MAKES THIS MOMENT\nINCREDIBLY SPECIAL. IT IS WHAT\nMAKES THIS AGREEMENT HISTORIC,\nAND WE WILL LIVE BETTER LIVES,\nOUR FUTURE GENERATION WILL BE\nBETTER OFF, BECAUSE OF THE WORK\nTHAT YOU DID IN THIS AGREEMENT.\nAND THANK YOU, CHRIS, FOR\nGETTING US TO THE CITY BEING IN\nAGREEMENT WITH TLEM. I REALLY\nWANT TO SETTLE ON THAT, THOUGH.\nFUTURE GENERATIONS ARE GOING TO\nBE BETTER BECAUSE OF THE\nPOSITIONS YOU HAVE HELD OVER THE\nLAST DECADE, AND HOW YOU HAVE\nHELD US TO ACCOUNT IN THIS\nAGREEMENT. SO FROM THE BOTTOM OF\nMY HEART, THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER\nSTRAUSS. WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER\nFOSTER, FOLLOWED BY COUNCIL\nMEMBER JUAREZ.\nCLOSING: CLOSING.\nABSOLUTELY: ABSOLUTELY.\nWE WILL COME TO COUNCIL: WE WILL COME TO COUNCIL\nMEMBER JUAREZ AS CLOSING. ANYONE\nWHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE\nRAISE YOUR HAND. COUNCIL MEMBER\nFOSTER.\nTHANK YOU. I WILL BE VERY\nBRIEF WITH MY REMARKS. I WANT TO\nSAY THANK YOU FOR MOVING THIS\nFORWARD. I APPRECIATE YOUR\nINCREDIBLY HARD WORK THERE, SO\nTHANK YOU, ESPECIALLY TO COUNCIL\nMEMBER JUAREZ. I WANTED TO,\nREALLY WHY I WANTED TO MAKE A\nQUICK REMARK, I WANTED TO SAY\nTHANK YOU TO TRIBAL LEADERS WHO\nARE HERE AND MR. SKYLER, I WROTE\nDOWN WHAT YOU SAID, KEY WITH\nCOME HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN\nYEARS, I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR\nSHOWING UP AND TESTIFYING AND\nSHARING WITH US THAT LANDED ON\nME. I WANTED TO SPEAK MY\nAPPRECIATION TO YOU. THANK YOU.\nAWESOME. THANK YOU, COUNCIL\nMEMBER FOSTER. IS THERE ANY\nOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER THAT WOULD\nLIKE TO SAY SOMETHING? COUNCIL\nMEMBER JUAREZ? CLOSE?\nCLOSE YOU OUT: CLOSE YOU OUT.\nTHE CLOSE IS YOURSISM STRIKE: THE CLOSE IS YOURSISM STRIKE\nDOWN THE MIDDLE, LIKE YOU THREW\nTHAT BALL.\nI DID: I DID.\nTHAT WENT OVER THE PLATE: THAT WENT OVER THE PLATE.\nWHAT SHE IS REFERRING TO IS: WHAT SHE IS REFERRING TO IS\nBASEBALL TOURNAMENT WE GOT TO\nTHROW OUT THE FIRST PITCH AND I\nWANT TO SAY I THREW OUT THE BEST\nONE. I WILL JUST PUT IT THERE. I\nWANT TO CLOSE US OUT,&RECOGNIZE,\nSCOTT SKYLER, FROM UPPER SKAGIT\nBECAUSE SCOTT'S MOTHER, DOREEN\nMALONEY WHO I HAVE KNOWN SINCE A\nTEENAGER, STARTED THE\nNEGOTIATIONS WITH LORRAINE AND\nBOB, I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS FIRST\nNAME, FROM SWIN, AND THOSE ARE\nTHE DAYS BACK IN 1991, 1992, AND\nSO I WANT TO-- WANT THIS COUNCIL\nTO BE PROUD THAT THEY ARE PART\nOF A HISTORICAL MOMENT THAT EVEN\nTHOUGH PROCEDUREERALLY THIS HAS\nBEEN IN SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL,\nWITH SEATTLE CITY LIGHT, WITH\nTHREE FORMER GM SHGSs AND CEOs\nAND FOUR MAYORS, AND FOR EIGHT\nYEARS AND I HAVE BEEN A PART OF\nTHIS, I AM REALLY GLAD IT IS\nOVER, BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL GO\nUP TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND\nFROM THEN TO THE FEDERAL ENERGY\nREGULATORY COMMISSION AND THEN\nANOTHER PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD,\nBUT I THINK THAT GOES TO THE\nRESILIENCE OF OUR PEOPLE, LIKE\nYOUR MOTHER, DOREEN, AND OTHER\nFOLKS THAT HAVE WALKED ON, HOW\nIMPORTANT THE RIVER SYSTEMS ARE\nTO US. ONE THING, I AM NOT GOING\nINTO SPEECH I GAVE DURING\nCOMMITTEE BUT I WILL SAY THIS,\nWATCHING PUBLIC UTILITIES ARMY\nCORPS OF ENGINEERS AND FOLKS IN\nTHE 30s, 40s, AND 50s, AND WHAT\nTHEY DID TO MAINSTREAM AND RIVER\nSYSTEMS IN THE STATE, AND OTHER\nSTATES, I WANT TO SAY VERGES ON\nVIOLENCE BECAUSE IT DID MORE\nTHAN JUST TAKE FISH. ONE THING\nTHAT COMES TO MIND IS WHEN\nTACOMA CITY LIGHT MOVED THE\nMIDDLE FORK OF THE RIVER, AND\nWHAT THAT DID TO THE PEOPLE. SO\nTHAT BEING SAID, THERE IS ONE\nNICE THING ABOUT GETTING OLD IS\nYOU DO HAVE WISDOM AND WE DO\nKNOW YOU LEARN MORE FROM YOUR\nFAILURES THAN YOU DO YOUR\nSUCCESSES AND FOR LONGEVITY OF\nTHE PEOPLE AND WHAT UNCLE BILLY\nUSED TO SAY IS NATIVE PEOPLE\nDON'T HAVE A PIONEER STORY, WE\nWERE HERE, AND AS UNCLE BILLY\nUSED TO SAY, WE ARE NOT A\nTRANSIENT COMMUNITY OR GROUP, WE\nWILL LIVE AND DIE ON THOSE\nRIVERS BECAUSE IT IS HOME, AND\nSO YOU BEING HERE TODAY AND YOUR\nWORDS AND COOPERATION ALONG WITH\nTHE OTHER TWO TRIBES AND THE\nCITY, FOR ME IS A LONG JOURNEY,\nI RAISE MY HANDS TO YOU.

THANK\nYOU. THIS RESOLUTION IS\nIMPORTANT AND I AM EXCITED TO\nBRING PFORWARD FOR A NUMBER OF\nREASONS. ONE IS WE KNOW TAX\nFRAUD LEADS TO LOST REVENUE FOR\nCOMMUNITY, WHICH IS CRITICALLY\nNEEDED TO FUND ESSENTIALLY\nSERVICES. ANOTHER IS THAT IT\nCONTRIBUTES TO THE EXPLOITATION\nOF WORKERS WHEN THEY ARE PAID\nUNDER THE TABLE AND WHEN THEY\nLOSE ACCESS TO FAIR WAGES,\nHEALTHCARE, BENEFITS, AND SAFE\nWORKING CONDITIONS. THESE HARMS\nCAN DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT\nPEOPLE OF CULLER AND\nUNDOCUMENTED WORKERS AND I\nBELIEVE THAT WE MUST INSURE THAT\nOUR STRONG LABOR STANDARDS AND\nWORKER PROTECTIONS IN THE CITY\nOF SEATTLE APPLY TO EVERYONE.
