I DON'T SEE THAT\nHERE. I SEE THE CITY STILL\nFOCUSING\nON SINGLE\nFAMILY HOUSING AND CAR CENTRIC\nCOMMUNITY.\nI THINK WE NEED TO\nSTART STOPPING PROJECTS THAT\nHEAD IN THAT DIRECTION.\nI WOULD LOVE TO SERVE\nTHIS COMMUNITY AND WALK\nAND TALK WITH\nMEMBERS.

IT'S NOT SAFE.\nAND WE KNOW THAT WE ARE A\nLONG WAY FROM REALLY\nACCOMPLISHING OUR VISION.\nZERO GOALS AND BEING ABLE TO\nACHIEVE STREET SAFETY.\nI'M THINKING ABOUT THE TIME\nI'VE\nSPENT WITH THE REIMAGINED\nCOALITION. REALLY THINKING ABOUT\nWHAT\nTHAT CORRIDOR MEANS FOR OUR\nCITY.\nWE HAVE PUT A LOT OF\nEXPECTATIONS ON IT.\nTHERE'S AN APPETITE TO\nREIMAGINE.\nAND I'LL CLOSE WITH TWO FINAL\nPOINTS. WE KNOW ALL OF THESE\nISSUES, PAIRED WITH JUST THE\nURGENCY\nAND THE NEW CLIMATE WE'RE IN\nWITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT\nHAVE CHANGED THINGS FOR OUR\nNEIGHBORS. IT WAS VOICED DURING\nPUBLIC COMMENT TODAY ABOUT HOW\nDISTRICT 5 IS HOME TO MANY OF\nOUR IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS.\nAND REALLY LOOKING FOR\nSOMEONE WHO WILL CHAMPION THE\nNEEDS OF\nOUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.\nTHE REALITY IS OUR NEIGHBORS\nARE BEING DISAPPEARED FROM\nOUR STREETS RIGHT NOW AND THERE\nIS TREMENDOUS FEAR.\nSO LOOKING FOR SOMEONE IN\nTHIS POSITION WHO CAN REALLY\nCHAMPION\nTHAT COMMUNITY, AND IS\nNOT AFRAID TO SPEAK TRUTH TO\nPOWER\nIN THAT WAY IS REALLY, REALLY\nIMPORTANT.\nAND SOMEONE WHO WILL BE A\nSTRONG COMMUNICATOR IN THIS ROLE\nTO MAKE SURE THAT INFORMATION IS\nGETTING OUT TO IMPACTED\nCOMMUNITIES IN A TIMELY,\nREGULAR\nMANNER.

WHAT I SEE IN DISTRICT\n5 IS\nA COMMUNITY OF, THAT IS\nISOLATED IN MANY WAYS FROM I- 5\nAND\n99, HOLMAN ROAD, GREENWOOD,\nNORTHGATE WAY.\n145, A STATE ROUTE.\nTHAT AREA IS SO\nDIFFERENT. MATTHEWS BEACH, IT IS\nDIFFERENT\nTHAN THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD. THE PARK IS\nDIFFERENT.\nCROWN HILL IS SO DIFFERENT\nTHAN LAKE CITY.\nMAPLE LEAF, EVEN THOUGH SO\nCLOSE, IS DIFFERENT THAN\nGREENWOOD.\nAND EVEN NORTHGATE IS\nSO DIFFERENT THAN LICTON\nSPRINGS.\nAND THEY ARE CONNECTED BY ONLY A\nQUARTER MILE.\nBITTER LAKE IS DIFFERENT.\nTHE BANKS OF LAKE WASHINGTON ARE\nDIFFERENT IN SUCH STARK\nWAYS THAN AURORA AVENUE.\nWE HAVE IN THESE NEXT FEW\nMONTHS TO DO SOME IMPORTANT\nPLACEMENT IN PINEHURST WITH THE\nNEW LIGHTRAIL STATION THAT IS\nNAMED\nPINEHURST.\nTHAT AREA IS GOING THROUGH\nSIGNIFICANT CHANGE AND IS IS\nA PLACE-MAKING OPPORTUNITY.\nIT WAS A REAL PLEASURE TO\nSPEAK TO SO MANY FOLKS OVER THE\nLAST FEW WEEKS.\nYESTERDAY I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK TO\n11 PEOPLE.\nI LEFT TWO VOICEMAILS.\nSHANE, IF YOU WANT TO CHATCHAT\nLATER, GIVE ME A CALL BACK.\nSORRY WE DIDN'T GET TO CHAT.\nI'M SORRY, LET'S CONNECT IN\nTHE\nFUTURE.\nWHAT I'M SEEING HERE IS\nTHAT THERE IS SUCH ENERGY FROM\nACROSS ALL OF THESE ISOLATED\nPOCKETS OF\nINTENSE COMMUNITY.\nTHE BRIDGE BUILDING ACROSS\nTHESE PHYSICAL MANMADE BARRIERS\nOF ROADS AND OTHER BARRIERS\nNEEDS\nTO HAPPEN.\nFOUR PEOPLE I TALKED\nTO LIVE ALONG AURORA.\nONE PERSON LIVES THERE.\nI'VE SEEN FOLKS WHO HAVE RUN\nFOR\nTHIS OFFICE BEFORE, SPOKEN TO\nFOLKS AND HEARD THAT\nPUBLIC SAFETY IS IMPORTANT.\nTHEIR KIDS WALKING TO SCHOOL IS\nIMPORTANT.\nSPEAKING TO NATHAN ABOUT\nTHE ISSUES OF OPERATING A SMALL\nBUSINESS.\nBRANDON HAS ALREADY HAD\nTOWN HALLS FOR THIS.\nTHERE'S SUCH ENERGY.\nTHE DISTRICT IS BURSTING WITH\nENERGY.\nALAN BOND HAS THE ABILITY TO\nBRING SOME REALLY\nIMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE SET ABOUT\nTHE\nFACT THAT IN THE NEXT YEAR,\nWE'LL HAVE 800,000 PEOPLE COME\nTHROUGH OUR CITY IN THREE TO SIX\nMONTHS.\nOUR CITY ONLY HAS 800,000\nPEOPLE. WHAT WILL THAT DO TO ALL\nTHE\nLIVE EVENTS THAT NEED TO OCCUR?\nSPEAKING OF BRENT ABOUT AGE\nFRIENDLY, THE ABILITY TO AGE IN\nPLACE, THAT KNOWLEDGE SET\nHAS CHANGED HOW I APPROACH MY\nPOLICY\nMAKING. AND I CAN'T THANK YOU\nENOUGH\nFOR ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS\nYOU'VE ALREADY MADE TO OUR\nCITY.\nJED HAS ALREADY OPERATED\nBUDGETS LARGER THAN THE CITY OF\nSEATTLE AND ANSEL IS\nBRINGING NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER\nTO\nBRIDGE DIVIDES ON IMPORTANT\nTOPICS.\nI NOTICED THERE WERE SOME\nTHAT DIDN'T APPLY.\nCOLLEEN COMES TO MIND.\nPATIENCE, BECCA COMES TO MIND.\nWE HAVE A COUPLE FOLKS, NILU\nJENKS, YOU'VE RUN BEFORE AS\nWELL.\nWE HAD A GREAT, LONG\nCONVERSATION AND DEBORA\nJUAREZ WHO HAS ALREADY SAT IN\nTHE SEAT.\nFOR THIS PROCESS, I WON'T\nBE\nPUTTING FORWARD ANOTHER NAME.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nMOVING ON TO COUNCILMEMBER\nHOLLINGSWORTH.\nI BELIEVE YOU ARE THE ONLY: I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE ONLY\nPERSON THAT WENT TO HIGH\nSCHOOL IN DISTRICT 5.\nIS THAT CORRECT?\nYES.\nI LIKE -- I DON'T KNOW.\nI THINK I'M PRETTY SURE.\nSO I WANT TO GIVE A\nHEARTFELT THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO\nPARTICIPATED IN THIS DISTRICT 5\nVACANCY. YOUR\nWILLINGNESS TO STEP FORWARD AND\nSHARE YOUR IDEAS AND PUT\nYOURSELF OUT THERE IS\nSUPER DEEPLY APPRECIATED.\nAND I KNOW THAT IT TAKES COURAGE\nAND COMMITMENT TO DO THIS.\nAND ALSO, YOUR\nCONTRIBUTIONS, WHETHER YOU'RE\nSPEAKING,\nSHOWING UP, DEMONSTRATING HOW\nMUCH YOU\nCARE ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY\nIS GREATLY APPRECIATED.\nIT IS HARD TO PUT YOURSELF OUT\nTHERE. AND WE ALWAYS SAY, DON'T\nREAD THE COMMENTS.\nTHAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.\nBUT DISTRICT 5 IN SEATTLE\nHOLDS LIKE A REALLY RIGHT PLACE\nIN\nOUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT IS\nA DISTRICT OF WORKING CLASS\nFAMILIES. IT IS A DISTRICT OF\nOUR\nIMMIGRANT POPULATION.\nIT'S VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS,\nHARD-WORKING FAMILIES, SCHOOLS,\nPARKS, IT HAS A DEEP\nRESILIENCE OF HISTORY AND\nPROGRESS.\nI TALK ABOUT THE TWO\nDISTRICTS THAT SIT ON THE EDGE\nOF OUR\nBOUNDARIES, DISTRICT\n2 AND DISTRICT 5, WHICH HAPPEN\nTO\nBE THE MOST UNDERSERVED --\nEXCUSE\nME.\nUNDERRESOURCED NEIGHBORS,\nNEIGHBORHOODS.\nWE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY\nTO CONTINUE TO FILL THOSE\nRESOURCES FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES\nBUT\nALSO, NOT PUSH THOSE COMMUNITIES\nOUT\nAS WELL WHICH IS IMPORTANT.\nAND WE'VE SEEN THAT IN\nDISTRICT 3 AND OTHER PLACES\nWHERE IT IS\nBECOMING MORE UNAFFORDABLE\nIN\nOUR CITY. THERE ARE OTHER PLACES\nIN SEATTLE THAT HAVE BECOME HOME\nTO\nFOLKS. AS WE ARE CONTINUING TO\nRESOURCE THEM, WE DON'T WANT\nTHOSE FAMILIES THAT HAVE MADE\nTHOSE PLACES SPECIAL TO BE\nPUSHED OUT\nAT ALL.\nAND I THINK THE\nDISTRICT REPRESENTS THE CITY OF\nSEATTLE VALUES.\nTHAT'S WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO\nME\nFOR THIS PROCESS, SOMEONE\nWHO UNDERSTANDS THE BUDGET\nPROCESS THAT WE WILL TAKE UP\nIMMEDIATELY IN THE LAST PART OF\nTHE YEAR,\nSOMEONE WHO WILL JUMP RIGHT\nINTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN\nWHERE WE'RE BUILDING ABOUT THE\nFUTURE AND\nTHE GROWTH. WE HAVE A LOT OF\nEND.\nYEAR LEGISLATION THAT COME OUR\nWAY VERY FAST-PACED.\nSOME OF THE ISSUES ON\nAURORA THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM\nFOLKS.\nWHETHER IT IS STABILIZING\nAND CLEANING CERTAIN STUFF UP\nAND THEN ALSO THINKING ABOUT\nTHE FUTURE LIKE COUNCILMEMBER\nRINCK SAID OF REIMAGINING WHAT\nAURORA COULD BE.\nAND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHAT I\nWOULD LIKE TO HEAR\nFROM CANDIDATES IS OUR FUTURE.\nWE TALK A LOT ABOUT OUR\nISSUES THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CITY.\nBUT ALSO, THE HOPE.\nTHERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS\nTO LOOK FORWARD TO IN OUR CITY\nAND PEOPLE WANT A\nLITTLE HOPE. THE WAY TO DO THAT\nIS\nCENTERING OUR YOUTH AND OUR KIDS\nAND OUR\nFAMILIES.\nBECAUSE WHEN OUR BABIES ARE\nSAFE, OUR FAMILIES ARE SAFE\nAND OUR CITIES ARE SAFE.\nSO SOMEONE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT\nOUR YOUTH, WE HAVE TO START\nTHINKING ABOUT BEING A\nYOUNGER CITY FOR OUR KIDS.\nTHAT WILL BE THE FUTURE OF\nOUR CITY AND WHEN YOU THINK\nABOUT\nEMPIRES, CITIES, THAT ALL WERE\nSUCCESSFUL, IT WAS BECAUSE OF\nTHE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THEIR CITY,\nPARTICULARLY THE KIDS AND THE\nYOUTH. SO THAT'S WHAT IS\nIMPORTANT TO\nME.\nI WILL SAY THAT I HAD A LIST OF\nFOLKS AND THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN\nNOMINATED. SO I'LL BE BE\nPUTTING FORTH A\nNOMINATION\nTODAY. I BELIEVE THE GROUP\nOF CANDIDATES THAT WE HAVE IS, I\nFEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE. SO\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.\nOKAY.\nI'M THE LAST ONE HERE.\nSO DESPITE REPORTING\nTHAT MAY HAVE INDICATED\nOTHERWISE THAT\nCAME OUT PRIOR TOTO ALL\nAPPLICATIONS BEING\nMADE AVAILABLE TO US, THIS IS\nGOING TO BE AN OPEN AND\nTRANSPARENT PROCESS WHERE WE ARE\nKEEPING THE\nNEEDS OF THE CONSTITUENTS\nOF DISTRICT 5 FRONT AND CENTER\nOF\nOUR DECISION- MAKING PROCESS.\nPERSONALLY I HAVE ENDEAVORED\nTO MEET WITH EVERYBODY WHO\nHAS CONTACTED MY OFFICE WHO\nHAS ASKED FOR A\nMEETING AND WAS INTERESTED IN\nAPPLYING.\nI MET WITH SMALL BUSINESS\nOWNERS FROM LAKE CITY WHO HAVE\nTALKED\nABOUT THEIR NEEDS AND OF COURSE,\nI'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF, I'VE\nHAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT\nTHE NEEDS IN GENERAL.\nBEFORE COUNCILMEMBER MOORE\nDPARTD, I DID GET HER READ\nON WHAT THE NEEDS ARE AS WELL.\nSO I WAS IMPRESSED BY\nTHE BREADTH AND THE QUALITY OF\nALL\nTHE APPLICANTS. I WANT TO THANK\nALL OF\nTHEM FOR PUTTING THEMSELVES OUT\nTHERE TO\nBE CONSIDERED.\nI WANT TO THANK THE\nCOMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO REACHED\nOUT AND\nCOME TO SPEAK TODAY ON BEHALF OF\nTHE CANDIDATES THEY FEEL\nSTRONGLY\nABOUT.\nWE OWE IT TO THE D-\n5 CONSTITUENTS TO CONSIDER\nTHEIR NEEDS AND INTERESTS AND\nHOW\nTHEY WOULD LIKE TO BE\nREPRESENTED.\nONE THING I WAS LOOKING FOR\nDURING THIS PROCESS IS SOMEONE\nWHO WOULD BE INTERESTED\nIN RUNNING AGAIN IN 16 MONTHS.\nAND I HAVE SAID THIS WITH\nEVERY VACANCY THAT WE'VE FILLED\nTHE PREVIOUS TWO.\nAND HERE'S WHY.\nI BELIEVE TELL DECISIONS\nSOMEONE MAKES WHILE FILLING A\nVACANCY HAVE LONG- MATERIAL\nCONSEQUENCES.\nIT IS MY BELIEF THE BEST\nTHING IS TO APPOINT SOMEONE THE\nVOTERS\nWOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO\nHOLD ACCOUNTABLE AT THE BALLOT\nBOX.\nBUT THAT IS NOT A NECESSITY IN\nMY BOOK BUT IT IS A\nPREFERENCE THAT I'VE BROUGHT TO\nEACH ONE\nOF THESE PROCESSES AND I'M\nTRYING TO COMMUNITY THE THINGS I\nTHINK ABOUT WHEN I'M LOOKING AT\nTHESE APPLICATIONS.\nWITH ALL THAT BEING SAID,\nIN RECOGNIZING THAT MANY\nEXCELLENT CANDIDATES HAVE\nALREADY\nBEEN NOMINATED AS\nFINALISTS, I WOULD LIKE TO\nNOMINATE JIM BOUREY.\nHE IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY\nWELL QUALIFIED CANDIDATE WITH\nNATIONWIDE CITY AND\nCOUNTY ADMINISTRATOR EXPERIENCE.\nHE'S SEEN HOW\nLOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN WORK WELL\nIN DIFFERENT\nSYSTEMS.\nHE'S DEALT WITH MANY OF\nTHE SIMILAR CHALLENGES WE FACE\nHERE IN SEATTLE TODAY.\nAND HE WILL BE AT THE VERY\nLEAST, A VALUABLE PROSPECTIVE\nTHROUGH THE NEXT TWO WEEKS OF\nTHE APPOINTMENT PROCESS.\nSO WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THE\nEND, I ANTICIPATE THAT HAVING\nHIS VOICE AMONGST US IS A\nVALUABLEVALUABLE FOR US TO TAKE\nIN\nMIND, JUDGIST GIVEN THE BREADTH\nOF HIS\nEXPERIENCE.\nSO THAT IS MY RECOMMENDATION.\nAND IF WE'VE REACHED THE END\nOF OUR COMMENTS, I'M NOT SEEING\nANYBODY RAISING THEIR HANDS.\nEACH COUNCILMEMBER\nWAS PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO\nNOMINATE A\nCITY COUNCIL POSITION DISTRICT\n5 FINALIST.\nNOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.\nWILL THE CLERK PLEASE READ THE\nFINAL\nLIST.\nNOMINATED BY COUNCILMEMBER: NOMINATED BY COUNCILMEMBER\nKETTLE.\nDEBORA JUAREZ.\nNOMINATED BY COUNCILMEMBER\nRINCK.\nNILU JENKS.\nJULIE KING.\nNOMINATED BY COUNCILMEMBER\nSAIQA.\nROBERT D.

HER INTEGRITY,\nCOLLABORATIVE SPIRIT AND DEEP\nROOTS TO\nPUBLIC SERVICE MAKE HER AN\nEXCEPTIONAL CANDIDATE TO\nREPRESENT\nTHE BROADER CITY OF SEATTLE.\nHER DEDICATION TO COMMUNITY\nSERVICE IS BOTH BROAD AND DEEP.\nI FIRST MET JULIE WHILE SERVING\nON BOARD SEVERAL\nCIVIL ORGANIZATIONS WHILE WE\nADVOCATED FOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR\nIMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES AND\nORGANIZED\nCLEAN-UPS FOR EARTH DAY.\nWHAT TRULY SETS JULIE\nAPART IS NOT JUST HER HEART FOR\nSERVICE BUT ALSO HER\nLIVED EXPERIENCES AND KNOWLEDGE.\nSHE BRINGS STRONG\nBUSINESS ACUMEN THAT ARE\nURGENTLY\nNEEDED PARTICULARLY NOW AS THE\nCITY FACES BUDGET SHORTFALLS.\nJULIE UNDERSTANDS HOW TO\nMAKE TOUGH DECISIONS\nWITH TRANSPARENCY AND FAIRNESS.\nSHE KNOWS HOW TO\nBALANCE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY\nWITH\nMAINTAINING VITAL COMMUNITY\nSERVICES.

HER PROFESSIONAL\nBACKGROUND\nAND THE MIX OF HER LIVED\nEXPERIENCES\nUNIQUELY QUALIFIES HER FOR OUR,\nFOR YOUR SUPPORT.\nAS A 35- YEAR RESIDENT OF\nTHE CITY OF SEATTLE, I HAVE SEEN\nTHE EVOLUTION OF THIS COUNCIL.\nWHEN LOOKING AT\nTHE OPPORTUNITIES AND\nCHALLENGES BEFORE THE CITY OF\nSEATTLE, I KNOW JULIE BRINGS THE\nBEST\nSKILLS, PERSPECTIVE, AND\nENERGY TO THIS POSITION.\nI ENCOURAGE YOUR VOTE IN\nSUPPORT OF DR.

I AM NICK RUSSO.\nI AM FROM WHERE THE SIDEWALK\nENDS, ALSO KNOWN AS THE FIFTH\nDISTRICT.\nI HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN\nMODERN DAY POLITICS AND BEING\nSOMEBODY WHO FUNDRAISES MOST OF\nTHE TIME\nAND SMOOZES POWERFUL PEOPLE.\nI SAW THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO\nUSE MY LIFE EXPERIENCE\nAND INTEREST IN POLITICAL ISSUES\nTO\nHELP THE COMMUNITY THAT I\nREALLY LOVE AND HAVE LIVED IN\nFOR\nYEARS.\nTHE REASON I FOCUSED\nON SIDEWALKS IS THAT THEY\nREPRESENT IN A VERY REAL SENSE A\nBROKEN\nPROMISE TO THE COMMUNITY.\nTHESE COMMUNITIES IN THIS\nDISTRICT HAVE VIRTUALLY NO\nSIDEWALKS.\nTHEY WERE PROMISED THEM\nWHEN THEY WERE ANNEXED INTO THE\nCITY 60 TO 70 YEARS AGO, AND AT\nTHE RATE WE'RE GOING, IT WILL\nBE ANOTHER 300, 400 YEARS BEFORE\nTHEY GET THEM.\nI THINK THERE ARE WAYS TO\nIMPROVE PEDESTRIAN QUALITY\nTHAT ARE REALLY CRITICAL TO\nMAKING\nA HEALTHY COMMUNITY, THAT COULD\nBE DONE FOR LESS MONEY THAN THE\nS-\nDOT MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR PER\nBLOCK SCHEMES.\nOVER ALL, I SEE GLOBAL WARMING\nAS THE BIGGEST THREAT\nHUMANS HAVE EVER FACED AND I\nTHINK IT\nNEEDS TO BECOME CENTRAL TO\nEVERY DECISION THAT IS MADE IN\nGOVERNMENT. I DON'T SEE THAT\nHERE. I SEE THE CITY STILL\nFOCUSING\nON SINGLE\nFAMILY HOUSING AND CAR CENTRIC\nCOMMUNITY.\nI THINK WE NEED TO\nSTART STOPPING PROJECTS THAT\nHEAD IN THAT DIRECTION.\nI WOULD LOVE TO SERVE\nTHIS COMMUNITY AND WALK\nAND TALK WITH\nMEMBERS. THANK YOU.\nAFTER DAVID --\nTHANK YOU, MEMBERS OF THE\nSEATTLE CITY COUNCIL FOR\nTHIS OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON\nBEHALF OF CANDIDATE JULIE KANG.\nI'M DAVID WOODWARD, 48-\nYEAR SEATTLE RESIDENT.\nALSO ON THE\nSEATTLE INTERNATIONAL VISORY\nBOARD\nAPPOINTED BY YOU AND THE\nCHAIR OF THE THEATER WHICH\nCROSSES\nOVER BETWEEN DISTRICT 6 AND 5\nAND YOU'RE MY REPRESENTATIVE.\nALSO A BLOCK COORDINATOR.\nWE NOW CALL IT A BLOCK\nCOMMUNITY RATHER THAN A BLOCK\nWATCH.\nIT'S GROWN RATHER EXTENSIVE.\nABOUT 65 PEOPLE IN OUR BLOCK\nCOMMUNITY. A VERY ACTIVE ONE.\nSO I'M HERE TO SUPPORT THE\nCANDIDACY OF DR. JULIE KANG.\nI MET HER WHEN WE WERE\nBOTH WORKING IN EDUCATIONAL\nAT SEATTLE\nUNIVERSITY. I GREATLY APPRECIATE\nHER ACCOUNTABILITY AND WORK\nETHIC AND WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH\nHER AS\nSOON AS I FIRST MET HER.\nDR. KANG IS TRULY DEDICATED\nTO HER OWN FAMILY, HER\nCOLLEAGUES, AND THE PEOPLE OF\nOUR CITY.\nSHE HAVE HAS DEEP\nEXPERTISE IN MANY ARENAS\nINCLUDING\nEDUCATION, FINANCE, POLICY,\nSMALL\nBUSINESS, MULTICULTURAL\nCOMMUNITY\nDEVELOPMENT, AND NEIGHBORHOODS.\nSHE'S WORKED AT THE\nUNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, BY THE\nWAY,\nIN SOME VERY STRATEGIC WAYS.\nDR. KANG IS GREAT TO WORK WITH\nINTERPERSONALLY AND KNOWS HOW\nTO WORK ON A LARGE SCALE TO\nDEVELOP\nAND IMPLEMENT POLICY\nWHILE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT\nDIVERSE\nPERSPECTIVES. SHE'S EXACTLY THE\nTYPE OF LEADER\nI MOST WANT TO SEE IN LOCAL\nGOVERNMENT. SOMEONE I KNOW WILL\nBE ACCOUNTABLE TO ME AS WELL AS\nTHE NEEDS AND\nINTERESTS OF EVERYONE\nIN THE CITY.

KANG\nIS WILLING TO REPRESENT US\nALL ON THE SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL.\nTHANK YOU\nVERY MUCH.\nGOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.\nIT'S TRULY A JOY TO BE HERE\nFOR JULIE KANG.\nI FIRST MET DR. KANG WHEN HE\nWAS A GRADUATE STUDENT AT\nSEATTLE\nUNIVERSITY.\nSHE BECAME MY MENTOR.\nWHAT STOOD OUT TO ME THEN AND IT\nSTILL DOES IS THAT HOW SHE\nBALANCES HER\nPROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES\nWITH MENTORSHIP\nAND HER VOLUNTEER WORK.\nOVER 30 YEARS DR. KANG\nHAS HELPED STUDENTS TO GROW,\nSHE REPLIES TO EVERY EMAIL FROM\nSTUDENT ASKING FOR GUIDANCE.\nSHE HELPS THEM TO ACHIEVE THEIR\nMILESTONES.\nTHAT KIND OF IMPACT SPEAKS\nVOLUMES ABOUT HER ABILITY\nTO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER ACROSS\nCOMMUNITY.\nTHE LEADERSHIP SHE'S SHOWN IN\nCOMMUNITY BUILDING, SHE'LL\nBRING ALL OF THAT\nAND MORE TO THE CITY\nCOUNCIL. THANK YOU.\nAFTER PATTY, WE'LL HAVE JUDY.\nGOOD MORNING, COUNCILMEMBERS.\nTHANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE\nOPPORTUNITY TODAY.\nMY NAME IS PATTY LEE AND\nI'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT MY\nFRIEND, DR.

BUT MOST\nIMPORTANTLY, I\nWAS STRUCK BY HER LOVE FOR\nSERVING\nOUR COMMUNITY AND BY HER\nABILITY TO GET OTHERS\nINVOLVED, INCLUDING ME.\nSINCE THAT EARLY TIME, I\nHAVE SEEN HER GENUINE PASSION\nFOR SERVING THE COMMUNITY AS SHE\nCONTINUED TO BE INVOLVED\nWITH AND LED NUMEROUS COMMUNITY\nORGANIZATIONS, WHETHER IT WAS\nHER VOLUNTEER WORK AS\nA PRINCIPAL FOR THE UNITED\nSEATTLE\nBELLEVUE KOREAN SCHOOL,\nFOUNDING AND CHAIRING THE BOARD\nOF\nLOCAL COMMUNITY BANK, HER WORK\nWITH THE KING COUNTY\nCITIZENS ELECTION OVERSIGHT\nCOMMITTEE.\nMENTORING STUDENTS AND\nEDUCATORS AND ORGANIZING\nVOLUNTEERS FOR\nEARTH DAY PARK CLEAN- UP TO\nNAME A FEW.\nSHE HAS A PASSION AND\nINNATE ABILITY TO BRING PEOPLE\nTOGETHER\nTO WORK TOWARD THE COMMON\nGOOD, PERSONALLY I KNOW THAT\nJULIE\nHAS A GOOD AND CARING HEART\nFOR PEOPLE AND WITH HER\nGREAT LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND\nEXPERIENCE, SHE WOULD BE\nAN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO THE\nCITY\nCOUNCIL.

JULIE KANG IS EXACTLY THE\nKIND OF LEADER SEATTLE\nNEEDS AT THIS MOMENT.\nSHE SPENT HER LIFE BRIDGING\nCOMMUNITIES, WHETHER IT\nIS\nADVOCATING FOR KOREAN-AMERICAN\nVOICES, SERVING ON EQUITY\nBOARDS OR MENTORING K- 12\nEDUCATORS.\nAT SEATTLE UNIVERSITY,\nSHE'S WORKED WITH NUMEROUS\nORGANIZATIONS TO BUILD\nCONNECTIONS.\nAT THE YMCA SHE LEADS\nOUTREACH THAT BRINGS PEOPLE IN\nFROM THE\nMARGINS.\nSHE BUILDS COALITIONS NOT\nFOR CREDIT BUT BECAUSE THAT'S\nWHO SHE IS.\nSOMEONE WHO BELIEVES EVERYONE\nDESERVES TO BELONG, TO BE\nHEARD AND TO HELP SHAPE THE\nFUTURE OF\nTHIS CITY.\nSEATTLE NEEDS HEART, VISION, AND\nA STEADY HAND.\nPLEASE CONSIDER DR.\nJULIE KANG WHEN THINKING ABOUT\nYOUR\nNEXT APPOINTMENT TO THE CITY\nCOUNCIL.\nTHANK\nYOU.\nAFTER MINDY, WE'LL HAVE\nJULIE.

AS ONE OF THE\nCITYWIDE\nREPRESENTATIVES, I'VE\nBEEN REFLECTING A LOT ABOUT MY\nTIME IN DISTRICT 5 AND\nTHE ORGANIZATION SERVING\nOUR COMMUNITIES THAT WORK OUT OF\nDISTRICT\n5. THE CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD\nWITH\nRESIDENTS AND THINKING ABOUT\nMY TIME ON THE GROUND WALKING\nON STREETS WITHOUT\nSIDEWALKS, CONNECTING DIRECTLY\nWITH\nRESIDENTS, AND WANTING TO REALLY\nCENTER ALL THOSE VOICES AS\nWE'VE BEEN CONSIDERING THIS\nREALLY CRITICAL APPOINTMENT\nPROCESS.\nAND DISTRICT 5 HAS BEEN\nHISTORICALLY UNDERINVESTED IN\nIN SO MANY WAYS.\nI WOULD BE REMISS AS\nCHAIR, SAYING HOW DISTRICT 5\nCONTINUES TO BE DISPROPORTIONATE\nLY HIT BY\nOUTAGES, EVEN NAMING THE\nOUTAGE FROM LAST NIGHT WHICH\nIMPACTED\n21,000 CITY LIGHT CUSTOMERS.\nMANY OF WHOM IN DISTRICT 5.\nAND REFLECTING TO THE BOMB\nCYCLONE EVENT FROM EARLIER\nTHIS YEAR WHICH OUR CITY DID\nNOT RECEIVE OUR FEMA REQUEST\nOF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BE\nABLE TO FILL AND I WANT TO THANK\nTHE\nCITY LIGHT CREWS WHO\nWORKED REALLY HARD TO RESTORE\nPOWER.\nAGAIN, NOTING THAT DISTRICT\n5 WAS DISPROPORTIONATELY HIT\nAND CONTINUES TO BE HIT BY\nCITY LIGHT OUTAGES AND THAT IS\nDUE\nIN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF\nUNDERINVESTMENT.\nTHAT IS SOMETHING THAT\nNEEDS TO BE\nREMEDIED. THAT PAIRED WITH THE\nTREMENDOUS NEED FOR SIDEWALKS\nWITHIN THE\nDISTRICT.\nAND I'VE WALKED THE STREETS\nMYSELF. IT'S NOT SAFE.\nAND WE KNOW THAT WE ARE A\nLONG WAY FROM REALLY\nACCOMPLISHING OUR VISION.\nZERO GOALS AND BEING ABLE TO\nACHIEVE STREET SAFETY.\nI'M THINKING ABOUT THE TIME\nI'VE\nSPENT WITH THE REIMAGINED\nCOALITION. REALLY THINKING ABOUT\nWHAT\nTHAT CORRIDOR MEANS FOR OUR\nCITY.\nWE HAVE PUT A LOT OF\nEXPECTATIONS ON IT.\nTHERE'S AN APPETITE TO\nREIMAGINE.\nAND I'LL CLOSE WITH TWO FINAL\nPOINTS. WE KNOW ALL OF THESE\nISSUES, PAIRED WITH JUST THE\nURGENCY\nAND THE NEW CLIMATE WE'RE IN\nWITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT\nHAVE CHANGED THINGS FOR OUR\nNEIGHBORS. IT WAS VOICED DURING\nPUBLIC COMMENT TODAY ABOUT HOW\nDISTRICT 5 IS HOME TO MANY OF\nOUR IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS.\nAND REALLY LOOKING FOR\nSOMEONE WHO WILL CHAMPION THE\nNEEDS OF\nOUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.\nTHE REALITY IS OUR NEIGHBORS\nARE BEING DISAPPEARED FROM\nOUR STREETS RIGHT NOW AND THERE\nIS TREMENDOUS FEAR.\nSO LOOKING FOR SOMEONE IN\nTHIS POSITION WHO CAN REALLY\nCHAMPION\nTHAT COMMUNITY, AND IS\nNOT AFRAID TO SPEAK TRUTH TO\nPOWER\nIN THAT WAY IS REALLY, REALLY\nIMPORTANT.\nAND SOMEONE WHO WILL BE A\nSTRONG COMMUNICATOR IN THIS ROLE\nTO MAKE SURE THAT INFORMATION IS\nGETTING OUT TO IMPACTED\nCOMMUNITIES IN A TIMELY,\nREGULAR\nMANNER. SO FOR ALL OF THESE\nREASONS, I WILL BE PUTTING\nFORWARD NILU\nJENKS' NAME FOR\nCONSIDERATION FOR A FINALIST.\nI LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING\nMORE ABOUT ALL THE FINALISTS AS\nWE\nGO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND I\nWANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO\nAPPLIED\nFOR THIS, STEPPING UP INTO\nA LEADERSHIP POSITION,\nESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW IS A GREAT\nTHING TO\nDO.\nI WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO\nHAS APPLIED FOR THIS ROLE.\nTHANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nOKAY.\nCOUNCILMEMBER\nRIVERA.\nTHANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.\nTHANK YOU TO ALL THE\nCANDIDATES WHO HAVE STEPPED UP\nTO REPRESENT\nTHE D-5.\nI'M ENCOURAGED BY THE NUMBER\nOF PEOPLE WHO -- EXCUSE ME.\nI'M ENCOURAGED BY THE NUMBER OF\nPEOPLE WHO STEPPED UP AND\nFOR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE.\nAND I WANT TO THANK ALL\nTHE FOLKS THAT CAME HERE TODAY\nTO\nEITHER SPEAK ABOUT THEY'RE\nPUTTING THEIR OWN NAMES INTO\nTHE HAT OR FOR THE FOLKS WHO\nCAME TO\nSUPPORT SOMEONE WHO HAS\nPUT THEIR NAME FORWARD.\nAS THE CLOSEST PARTNER TO D-\n4, THE D- 5 REPRESENTATIVE IS\nREALLY\nIMPORTANT TO ME.\nI'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE THAT\nWILL REALLY LISTEN TO ALL\nTHE VOICES NTSB D- 5 AND WORK\nWITH ALL OF US ON THE TOUGH WORK\nTHAT WE NEED TO DO ON THE\nCOUNCIL.\nTHESE ARE REALLY TOUGH JOBS AND\nI REALLY WANT,\nI VERY MUCH RESPECT ANDED AD,\nWE'VE HAD\nMANY QUALIFIED CANDIDATES.\nWE CAN PICK, WE CAN ONLY PICK\nONE.\nMY\nNOMINATION WILL GO TO JULIE\nKANG.

I FOR ONE AM A PROUD\nSON OF\nA NIGERIAN IMMIGRANT.\nAND IN NIGERIA, THERE IS THE\nRELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE ROUGHLY\nSPLIT, 40 TO 40% CHRISTIAN AND\nMUSLIM, THE OTHER 20%\nROUGHLY BEING INDIGENOUS\nBELIEFS.\nBUT MY NOW LATE GRANDFATHER WAS\nA MUSLIM.\nAND HE HAD EARNED THE HONORIFIC\nTITLE.\nBASICALLY A MALE WHO HAS TAKEN\nTHE HOLY PILGRIMAGE, THE MECCA.\nI'M PROUD OF MY IMMIGRANT\nAND MUSLIM BACKGROUND.\nI'M A CHRISTIAN,\nNONPRACTICING THESE DAYS.\nTHAT PERSPECTIVE IS WELL\nREPRESENTED NOW.\nWE CAN ALWAYS, OBVIOUSLY, ADD\nMORE.\nIN ANY EVENT.\nSO AGAIN, I APPLAUD EVERYONE\nWHO HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO APPLY.\nTHIS IS A TOUGH JOB WHICH\nLEADS ME TO MY NEXT POINT.\nEARLIER, BECAUSE THIS IS MY\nTHIRD TIME DOING THIS, THE THIRD\nTIME FOR MOST OF US, IN EARLIER\nITERATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE LAST\nONE, I HAD VERY\nSTRONG FEELINGS ABOUT THIS\nNOTION OF A CARE\nTAKER VERSUS SOMEONE WHO\nWOULD LIKE TO, OR AT LEAST\nCONSIDER RUNNING ON A MORE\nPERMANENT BASIS FOR THE SEAT\nPERMANENTLY.\nTHIS IS A TOUGH JOB.\nTHAT IS STILL THE CASE\nNOW.

THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU VERY: THANK YOU VERY\nMUCH.\nCOUNCILMEMBER: COUNCILMEMBER\nSTRAUSS.\nTHANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.\nDISTRICT 6 SHARES A BORDER\nWITH DISTRICT\n5. I SPENT A LOT OF MY LIFELIFE\nDISTRICT 5.\nIT HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY\nHEART.\nEVEN AFTER THE REASON\nGERRYMANDERING, A LOT TOOK PART\nIN DISTRICT 6 AND I STILL\nSERVE THOSE\nRESIDENTS. WE AS DISTRICT\nCOUNCILMEMBERS SERVE ALL\nSEATTLEITES.\nEVEN JUST LAST NIGHT, THERE\nWAS THE POWER OUTAGE THAT\nAFFECTED SO MANY RESIDENTS IN\nDISTRICT 5\nAND IT IMPACTED DISTRICT 6 AS\nWELL.\nI WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A\nSPECIAL THANK YOU TO EVIE\nKETTLE.\nWE WERE ABLE TO GET\nTHE REAL-TIME INFORMATION\nABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH\nTHAT.\nTHANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER RINCK.\nI WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE\nTHAT INFORMATION ONLY BECAUSE\nYOU\nHAD SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED IT\nALREADY. THIS IS HOW A COMMUNITY\nALL WORKS\nTOGETHER. WHAT I SEE IN DISTRICT\n5 IS\nA COMMUNITY OF, THAT IS\nISOLATED IN MANY WAYS FROM I- 5\nAND\n99, HOLMAN ROAD, GREENWOOD,\nNORTHGATE WAY.\n145, A STATE ROUTE.\nTHAT AREA IS SO\nDIFFERENT. MATTHEWS BEACH, IT IS\nDIFFERENT\nTHAN THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD. THE PARK IS\nDIFFERENT.\nCROWN HILL IS SO DIFFERENT\nTHAN LAKE CITY.\nMAPLE LEAF, EVEN THOUGH SO\nCLOSE, IS DIFFERENT THAN\nGREENWOOD.\nAND EVEN NORTHGATE IS\nSO DIFFERENT THAN LICTON\nSPRINGS.\nAND THEY ARE CONNECTED BY ONLY A\nQUARTER MILE.\nBITTER LAKE IS DIFFERENT.\nTHE BANKS OF LAKE WASHINGTON ARE\nDIFFERENT IN SUCH STARK\nWAYS THAN AURORA AVENUE.\nWE HAVE IN THESE NEXT FEW\nMONTHS TO DO SOME IMPORTANT\nPLACEMENT IN PINEHURST WITH THE\nNEW LIGHTRAIL STATION THAT IS\nNAMED\nPINEHURST.\nTHAT AREA IS GOING THROUGH\nSIGNIFICANT CHANGE AND IS IS\nA PLACE-MAKING OPPORTUNITY.\nIT WAS A REAL PLEASURE TO\nSPEAK TO SO MANY FOLKS OVER THE\nLAST FEW WEEKS.\nYESTERDAY I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK TO\n11 PEOPLE.\nI LEFT TWO VOICEMAILS.\nSHANE, IF YOU WANT TO CHATCHAT\nLATER, GIVE ME A CALL BACK.\nSORRY WE DIDN'T GET TO CHAT.\nI'M SORRY, LET'S CONNECT IN\nTHE\nFUTURE.\nWHAT I'M SEEING HERE IS\nTHAT THERE IS SUCH ENERGY FROM\nACROSS ALL OF THESE ISOLATED\nPOCKETS OF\nINTENSE COMMUNITY.\nTHE BRIDGE BUILDING ACROSS\nTHESE PHYSICAL MANMADE BARRIERS\nOF ROADS AND OTHER BARRIERS\nNEEDS\nTO HAPPEN.\nFOUR PEOPLE I TALKED\nTO LIVE ALONG AURORA.\nONE PERSON LIVES THERE.\nI'VE SEEN FOLKS WHO HAVE RUN\nFOR\nTHIS OFFICE BEFORE, SPOKEN TO\nFOLKS AND HEARD THAT\nPUBLIC SAFETY IS IMPORTANT.\nTHEIR KIDS WALKING TO SCHOOL IS\nIMPORTANT.\nSPEAKING TO NATHAN ABOUT\nTHE ISSUES OF OPERATING A SMALL\nBUSINESS.\nBRANDON HAS ALREADY HAD\nTOWN HALLS FOR THIS.\nTHERE'S SUCH ENERGY.\nTHE DISTRICT IS BURSTING WITH\nENERGY.\nALAN BOND HAS THE ABILITY TO\nBRING SOME REALLY\nIMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE SET ABOUT\nTHE\nFACT THAT IN THE NEXT YEAR,\nWE'LL HAVE 800,000 PEOPLE COME\nTHROUGH OUR CITY IN THREE TO SIX\nMONTHS.\nOUR CITY ONLY HAS 800,000\nPEOPLE. WHAT WILL THAT DO TO ALL\nTHE\nLIVE EVENTS THAT NEED TO OCCUR?\nSPEAKING OF BRENT ABOUT AGE\nFRIENDLY, THE ABILITY TO AGE IN\nPLACE, THAT KNOWLEDGE SET\nHAS CHANGED HOW I APPROACH MY\nPOLICY\nMAKING. AND I CAN'T THANK YOU\nENOUGH\nFOR ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS\nYOU'VE ALREADY MADE TO OUR\nCITY.\nJED HAS ALREADY OPERATED\nBUDGETS LARGER THAN THE CITY OF\nSEATTLE AND ANSEL IS\nBRINGING NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER\nTO\nBRIDGE DIVIDES ON IMPORTANT\nTOPICS.\nI NOTICED THERE WERE SOME\nTHAT DIDN'T APPLY.\nCOLLEEN COMES TO MIND.\nPATIENCE, BECCA COMES TO MIND.\nWE HAVE A COUPLE FOLKS, NILU\nJENKS, YOU'VE RUN BEFORE AS\nWELL.\nWE HAD A GREAT, LONG\nCONVERSATION AND DEBORA\nJUAREZ WHO HAS ALREADY SAT IN\nTHE SEAT.\nFOR THIS PROCESS, I WON'T\nBE\nPUTTING FORWARD ANOTHER NAME.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nMOVING ON TO COUNCILMEMBER\nHOLLINGSWORTH.\nI BELIEVE YOU ARE THE ONLY: I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE ONLY\nPERSON THAT WENT TO HIGH\nSCHOOL IN DISTRICT 5.\nIS THAT CORRECT?\nYES.\nI LIKE -- I DON'T KNOW.\nI THINK I'M PRETTY SURE.\nSO I WANT TO GIVE A\nHEARTFELT THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO\nPARTICIPATED IN THIS DISTRICT 5\nVACANCY. YOUR\nWILLINGNESS TO STEP FORWARD AND\nSHARE YOUR IDEAS AND PUT\nYOURSELF OUT THERE IS\nSUPER DEEPLY APPRECIATED.\nAND I KNOW THAT IT TAKES COURAGE\nAND COMMITMENT TO DO THIS.\nAND ALSO, YOUR\nCONTRIBUTIONS, WHETHER YOU'RE\nSPEAKING,\nSHOWING UP, DEMONSTRATING HOW\nMUCH YOU\nCARE ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY\nIS GREATLY APPRECIATED.\nIT IS HARD TO PUT YOURSELF OUT\nTHERE. AND WE ALWAYS SAY, DON'T\nREAD THE COMMENTS.\nTHAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.\nBUT DISTRICT 5 IN SEATTLE\nHOLDS LIKE A REALLY RIGHT PLACE\nIN\nOUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT IS\nA DISTRICT OF WORKING CLASS\nFAMILIES. IT IS A DISTRICT OF\nOUR\nIMMIGRANT POPULATION.\nIT'S VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS,\nHARD-WORKING FAMILIES, SCHOOLS,\nPARKS, IT HAS A DEEP\nRESILIENCE OF HISTORY AND\nPROGRESS.\nI TALK ABOUT THE TWO\nDISTRICTS THAT SIT ON THE EDGE\nOF OUR\nBOUNDARIES, DISTRICT\n2 AND DISTRICT 5, WHICH HAPPEN\nTO\nBE THE MOST UNDERSERVED --\nEXCUSE\nME.\nUNDERRESOURCED NEIGHBORS,\nNEIGHBORHOODS.\nWE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY\nTO CONTINUE TO FILL THOSE\nRESOURCES FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES\nBUT\nALSO, NOT PUSH THOSE COMMUNITIES\nOUT\nAS WELL WHICH IS IMPORTANT.\nAND WE'VE SEEN THAT IN\nDISTRICT 3 AND OTHER PLACES\nWHERE IT IS\nBECOMING MORE UNAFFORDABLE\nIN\nOUR CITY. THERE ARE OTHER PLACES\nIN SEATTLE THAT HAVE BECOME HOME\nTO\nFOLKS. AS WE ARE CONTINUING TO\nRESOURCE THEM, WE DON'T WANT\nTHOSE FAMILIES THAT HAVE MADE\nTHOSE PLACES SPECIAL TO BE\nPUSHED OUT\nAT ALL.\nAND I THINK THE\nDISTRICT REPRESENTS THE CITY OF\nSEATTLE VALUES.\nTHAT'S WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO\nME\nFOR THIS PROCESS, SOMEONE\nWHO UNDERSTANDS THE BUDGET\nPROCESS THAT WE WILL TAKE UP\nIMMEDIATELY IN THE LAST PART OF\nTHE YEAR,\nSOMEONE WHO WILL JUMP RIGHT\nINTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN\nWHERE WE'RE BUILDING ABOUT THE\nFUTURE AND\nTHE GROWTH. WE HAVE A LOT OF\nEND.\nYEAR LEGISLATION THAT COME OUR\nWAY VERY FAST-PACED.\nSOME OF THE ISSUES ON\nAURORA THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM\nFOLKS.\nWHETHER IT IS STABILIZING\nAND CLEANING CERTAIN STUFF UP\nAND THEN ALSO THINKING ABOUT\nTHE FUTURE LIKE COUNCILMEMBER\nRINCK SAID OF REIMAGINING WHAT\nAURORA COULD BE.\nAND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHAT I\nWOULD LIKE TO HEAR\nFROM CANDIDATES IS OUR FUTURE.\nWE TALK A LOT ABOUT OUR\nISSUES THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CITY.\nBUT ALSO, THE HOPE.\nTHERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS\nTO LOOK FORWARD TO IN OUR CITY\nAND PEOPLE WANT A\nLITTLE HOPE. THE WAY TO DO THAT\nIS\nCENTERING OUR YOUTH AND OUR KIDS\nAND OUR\nFAMILIES.\nBECAUSE WHEN OUR BABIES ARE\nSAFE, OUR FAMILIES ARE SAFE\nAND OUR CITIES ARE SAFE.\nSO SOMEONE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT\nOUR YOUTH, WE HAVE TO START\nTHINKING ABOUT BEING A\nYOUNGER CITY FOR OUR KIDS.\nTHAT WILL BE THE FUTURE OF\nOUR CITY AND WHEN YOU THINK\nABOUT\nEMPIRES, CITIES, THAT ALL WERE\nSUCCESSFUL, IT WAS BECAUSE OF\nTHE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THEIR CITY,\nPARTICULARLY THE KIDS AND THE\nYOUTH. SO THAT'S WHAT IS\nIMPORTANT TO\nME.\nI WILL SAY THAT I HAD A LIST OF\nFOLKS AND THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN\nNOMINATED. SO I'LL BE BE\nPUTTING FORTH A\nNOMINATION\nTODAY. I BELIEVE THE GROUP\nOF CANDIDATES THAT WE HAVE IS, I\nFEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE. SO\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.\nOKAY.\nI'M THE LAST ONE HERE.\nSO DESPITE REPORTING\nTHAT MAY HAVE INDICATED\nOTHERWISE THAT\nCAME OUT PRIOR TOTO ALL\nAPPLICATIONS BEING\nMADE AVAILABLE TO US, THIS IS\nGOING TO BE AN OPEN AND\nTRANSPARENT PROCESS WHERE WE ARE\nKEEPING THE\nNEEDS OF THE CONSTITUENTS\nOF DISTRICT 5 FRONT AND CENTER\nOF\nOUR DECISION- MAKING PROCESS.\nPERSONALLY I HAVE ENDEAVORED\nTO MEET WITH EVERYBODY WHO\nHAS CONTACTED MY OFFICE WHO\nHAS ASKED FOR A\nMEETING AND WAS INTERESTED IN\nAPPLYING.\nI MET WITH SMALL BUSINESS\nOWNERS FROM LAKE CITY WHO HAVE\nTALKED\nABOUT THEIR NEEDS AND OF COURSE,\nI'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF, I'VE\nHAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT\nTHE NEEDS IN GENERAL.\nBEFORE COUNCILMEMBER MOORE\nDPARTD, I DID GET HER READ\nON WHAT THE NEEDS ARE AS WELL.\nSO I WAS IMPRESSED BY\nTHE BREADTH AND THE QUALITY OF\nALL\nTHE APPLICANTS. I WANT TO THANK\nALL OF\nTHEM FOR PUTTING THEMSELVES OUT\nTHERE TO\nBE CONSIDERED.\nI WANT TO THANK THE\nCOMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO REACHED\nOUT AND\nCOME TO SPEAK TODAY ON BEHALF OF\nTHE CANDIDATES THEY FEEL\nSTRONGLY\nABOUT.\nWE OWE IT TO THE D-\n5 CONSTITUENTS TO CONSIDER\nTHEIR NEEDS AND INTERESTS AND\nHOW\nTHEY WOULD LIKE TO BE\nREPRESENTED.\nONE THING I WAS LOOKING FOR\nDURING THIS PROCESS IS SOMEONE\nWHO WOULD BE INTERESTED\nIN RUNNING AGAIN IN 16 MONTHS.\nAND I HAVE SAID THIS WITH\nEVERY VACANCY THAT WE'VE FILLED\nTHE PREVIOUS TWO.\nAND HERE'S WHY.\nI BELIEVE TELL DECISIONS\nSOMEONE MAKES WHILE FILLING A\nVACANCY HAVE LONG- MATERIAL\nCONSEQUENCES.\nIT IS MY BELIEF THE BEST\nTHING IS TO APPOINT SOMEONE THE\nVOTERS\nWOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO\nHOLD ACCOUNTABLE AT THE BALLOT\nBOX.\nBUT THAT IS NOT A NECESSITY IN\nMY BOOK BUT IT IS A\nPREFERENCE THAT I'VE BROUGHT TO\nEACH ONE\nOF THESE PROCESSES AND I'M\nTRYING TO COMMUNITY THE THINGS I\nTHINK ABOUT WHEN I'M LOOKING AT\nTHESE APPLICATIONS.\nWITH ALL THAT BEING SAID,\nIN RECOGNIZING THAT MANY\nEXCELLENT CANDIDATES HAVE\nALREADY\nBEEN NOMINATED AS\nFINALISTS, I WOULD LIKE TO\nNOMINATE JIM BOUREY.\nHE IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY\nWELL QUALIFIED CANDIDATE WITH\nNATIONWIDE CITY AND\nCOUNTY ADMINISTRATOR EXPERIENCE.\nHE'S SEEN HOW\nLOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN WORK WELL\nIN DIFFERENT\nSYSTEMS.\nHE'S DEALT WITH MANY OF\nTHE SIMILAR CHALLENGES WE FACE\nHERE IN SEATTLE TODAY.\nAND HE WILL BE AT THE VERY\nLEAST, A VALUABLE PROSPECTIVE\nTHROUGH THE NEXT TWO WEEKS OF\nTHE APPOINTMENT PROCESS.\nSO WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THE\nEND, I ANTICIPATE THAT HAVING\nHIS VOICE AMONGST US IS A\nVALUABLEVALUABLE FOR US TO TAKE\nIN\nMIND, JUDGIST GIVEN THE BREADTH\nOF HIS\nEXPERIENCE.\nSO THAT IS MY RECOMMENDATION.\nAND IF WE'VE REACHED THE END\nOF OUR COMMENTS, I'M NOT SEEING\nANYBODY RAISING THEIR HANDS.\nEACH COUNCILMEMBER\nWAS PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO\nNOMINATE A\nCITY COUNCIL POSITION DISTRICT\n5 FINALIST.\nNOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.\nWILL THE CLERK PLEASE READ THE\nFINAL\nLIST.\nNOMINATED BY COUNCILMEMBER: NOMINATED BY COUNCILMEMBER\nKETTLE.\nDEBORA JUAREZ.\nNOMINATED BY COUNCILMEMBER\nRINCK.\nNILU JENKS.\nJULIE KING.\nNOMINATED BY COUNCILMEMBER\nSAIQA.\nROBERT D.
