115
00:04:46,140 --> 00:04:48,184
to share a few remarks about a

116
00:04:48,184 --> 00:04:49,751
very special person who has

117
00:04:49,751 --> 00:04:50,786
lived a tremendous life in King

118
00:04:50,786 --> 00:04:52,387
County and made an incredible

119
00:04:52,387 --> 00:04:53,856
difference for so many folks.

120
00:04:53,856 --> 00:04:55,900
Uh, but before we get into the

121
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:57,490
proclamation, those remarks, I

122
00:04:57,593 --> 00:04:58,894
thought I would let Ko Kim say

123
00:04:58,894 --> 00:05:00,629
a few words as well.

124
00:05:00,629 --> 00:05:01,930
Thank you. Council member

125
00:05:01,930 --> 00:05:03,132
Dembowski, on behalf of

126
00:05:03,132 --> 00:05:05,532
Executive Zahilay, I just

127
00:05:05,667 --> 00:05:08,370
wanted to acknowledge and thank

128
00:05:08,370 --> 00:05:09,271
Randy, you and your family for

129
00:05:09,271 --> 00:05:11,440
being here on behalf of your

130
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,430
mother. Um, it means so much to

131
00:05:14,430 --> 00:05:16,312
me as a young person who got

132
00:05:16,312 --> 00:05:17,413
started in politics. I think

133
00:05:17,413 --> 00:05:19,140
Dolores was one of the first

134
00:05:19,140 --> 00:05:20,716
people that I got to meet, and

135
00:05:20,716 --> 00:05:22,851
she was already retired, but

136
00:05:22,851 --> 00:05:24,487
still a force of nature. And

137
00:05:24,487 --> 00:05:26,789
like so many people, I think,

138
00:05:26,789 --> 00:05:28,457
that have read about her life

139
00:05:28,457 --> 00:05:30,426
and are going to enjoy reading

140
00:05:30,426 --> 00:05:32,261
some more. In her new memoir.

141
00:05:32,261 --> 00:05:34,630
Um, I think it is such an

142
00:05:34,630 --> 00:05:36,231
inspiration to not only past

143
00:05:36,231 --> 00:05:38,567
generations, but to future

144
00:05:38,567 --> 00:05:40,369
generations to know that she

145
00:05:40,369 --> 00:05:42,104
broke so many barriers. She was

146
00:05:42,104 --> 00:05:44,506
such a trailblazer, and she was

147
00:05:44,506 --> 00:05:46,141
so courageous in the face of

148
00:05:46,141 --> 00:05:47,843
incredible, incredible,

149
00:05:47,843 --> 00:05:49,912
systemic challenges, many of

150
00:05:49,912 --> 00:05:51,480
which we still face today. But

151
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,716
she led the way in breaking

152
00:05:53,716 --> 00:05:54,983
barriers that I think so very

153
00:05:54,983 --> 00:05:56,885
few of us can really, truly

154
00:05:56,885 --> 00:05:59,885
appreciate. So on behalf of

155
00:06:00,456 --> 00:06:02,157
executive administration, I

156
00:06:02,157 --> 00:06:03,959
joined Councilmember Dembowski

157
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:05,194
in just expressing our deep

158
00:06:05,194 --> 00:06:05,460
appreciation to your mother

159
00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:06,261
s

160
00:06:06,261 --> 00:06:07,897
leadership..

161
00:06:07,897 --> 00:06:09,897
Very nice.

162
00:06:12,234 --> 00:06:14,570
Um, Dolores turned 95 years old

163
00:06:14,570 --> 00:06:16,705
just a few days ago on AUGUST

164
00:06:16,705 --> 00:06:18,640
12th. Um, she was the first

165
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,574

00:06:19,574 --> 00:06:21,677

as a legislative aide to

174
00:06:39,828 --> 00:06:41,828
groundbreaking Councilmember

175
00:06:42,630 --> 00:06:43,298
Ruby Chow. Uh, after leaving

176
00:06:43,298 --> 00:06:43,665
the county council, she worked

177
00:06:43,665 --> 00:06:45,330
in the county

178
00:06:45,330 --> 00:06:46,735
s Office of Civil

00:06:46,735 --> 00:06:47,903

180
00:06:47,903 --> 00:06:50,206

00:06:50,206 --> 00:06:52,606

182
00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:54,243

00:06:54,243 --> 00:06:55,277

00:07:11,727 --> 00:07:15,130
where she got started as a

195
00:07:15,130 --> 00:07:16,799
little girl, uh, ran a cafe in

196
00:07:16,799 --> 00:07:18,799
the Chinatown International

197
00:07:18,968 --> 00:07:20,536
District. She a pioneering

198
00:07:20,536 --> 00:07:22,671
Filipino business in our

199
00:07:22,671 --> 00:07:25,106
community, and she writes about

200
00:07:25,106 --> 00:07:26,875
that experience in her new

201
00:07:26,875 --> 00:07:29,644
memoir, which I commend to

202
00:07:29,644 --> 00:07:30,980
everybody. Um, she and her late

203
00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:32,882
husband, Martin, published the

204
00:07:32,882 --> 00:07:35,282
Filipino Forum, a community

205
00:07:35,417 --> 00:07:37,653
newspaper which advocated for

206
00:07:37,653 --> 00:07:38,653
and coalition led civil rights

207
00:07:38,653 --> 00:07:41,530
for the Filipino American

208
00:07:41,390 --> 00:07:42,891
community in the 1970s. And she

209
00:07:42,891 --> 00:07:44,860
paved the way for women of

210
00:07:44,860 --> 00:07:46,628
color to seek and win elected

211
00:07:46,628 --> 00:07:48,163
office. She has written the

212
00:07:48,163 --> 00:07:50,766
memoir, which I mentioned. I

213
00:07:50,766 --> 00:07:52,267
commend it to everybody. And

214
00:07:52,267 --> 00:07:53,535
here at the county. Now, as you

215
00:07:53,535 --> 00:07:55,770
all know, for a number of years

216
00:07:55,770 --> 00:07:59,370
we have run a program called

217
00:07:59,507 --> 00:08:01,109
the Ruth Wu Emerging Leaders

218
00:08:01,109 --> 00:08:01,310
Fellowship. Uh, I think we

219
00:08:01,310 --> 00:08:03,310
ve

220
00:08:04,179 --> 00:08:05,614
had 50 young people, maybe

221
00:08:05,614 --> 00:08:05,764
more, a little less. We

222
00:08:05,764 --> 00:08:07,382
re

223
00:08:07,382 --> 00:08:09,782
hoping for 50 soon. Come

224
00:08:09,818 --> 00:08:10,953
through the program. Uh, but it

225
00:08:10,953 --> 00:08:13,121
would not. We would not have

226
00:08:13,121 --> 00:08:14,155
the program which brings young

227
00:08:14,155 --> 00:08:14,323
people who traditionally don

228
00:08:14,323 --> 00:08:15,858
t

229
00:08:15,858 --> 00:08:17,292
have access to opportunities in

230
00:08:17,292 --> 00:08:18,894
government into the halls of

231
00:08:18,894 --> 00:08:20,462
power here at the county to

232
00:08:20,462 --> 00:08:22,364
learn about careers and to be

233
00:08:22,364 --> 00:08:24,232
able to serve across our

234
00:08:24,232 --> 00:08:26,632
various departments. Uh, the

235
00:08:27,469 --> 00:08:29,504
idea came from Dolores and her

236
00:08:29,504 --> 00:08:30,572
good friend Joan Yoshitomo. Uh,

237
00:08:30,572 --> 00:08:32,207
they came to see then

238
00:08:32,207 --> 00:08:34,109
Councilmember McDermott and I

239
00:08:34,109 --> 00:08:35,100
many years ago now and asked

240
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:35,244
that we form it. And it

241
00:08:35,244 --> 00:08:37,244
s been

242
00:08:38,380 --> 00:08:39,815
a very successful program, and

243
00:08:39,815 --> 00:08:41,816
it is consistent with the life

244
00:08:41,816 --> 00:08:43,518
that she has led. Uh, in terms

245
00:08:43,518 --> 00:08:45,220
of building systems to create

246
00:08:45,220 --> 00:08:47,589
pathways of opportunity for

247
00:08:47,589 --> 00:08:49,625
those who, uh, Hale talked

248
00:08:49,625 --> 00:08:51,760
about might not otherwise have

249
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,329
as easy access to it. So she

250
00:08:54,329 --> 00:08:57,320
has done an incredible amount

251
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,300
of civic work in her time here,

252
00:08:58,300 --> 00:08:59,368
and we wanted to take a moment

253
00:08:59,368 --> 00:09:02,271
to recognize her today. And

254
00:09:02,271 --> 00:09:03,638
with that, maybe q Kim, you

255
00:09:03,638 --> 00:09:05,400
could help me read the

256
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:05,741
proclamation. Absolutely. All

257
00:09:05,741 --> 00:09:06,442
right. Would you like to go

258
00:09:06,442 --> 00:09:08,442
first?

259
00:09:08,711 --> 00:09:11,711
Thank you. Whereas Dolores was

260
00:09:12,113 --> 00:09:12,914
born on AUGUST 12th, 1931,

261
00:09:12,914 --> 00:09:13,148
growing up in Seattle

262
00:09:13,148 --> 00:09:14,249
s

263
00:09:14,249 --> 00:09:16,151
Chinatown International

264
00:09:16,151 --> 00:09:18,220
District, where her family ran

265
00:09:18,220 --> 00:09:20,210
the Iroquois Cafe. A pioneer of

266
00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:21,990
business in Filipino town.

267
00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:23,192
And whereas Dolores is a

268
00:09:23,192 --> 00:09:24,893
trailblazer in many different

269
00:09:24,893 --> 00:09:26,194
fields. As I mentioned, she was

270
00:09:26,194 --> 00:09:26,962
the first Filipino American

271
00:09:26,962 --> 00:09:29,962
attorney in the state of

272
00:09:29,965 --> 00:09:31,133
Washington. In 1973, the first

273
00:09:31,133 --> 00:09:32,201
female executive of the

274
00:09:32,201 --> 00:09:34,369
Washington State Human Rights

275
00:09:34,369 --> 00:09:35,504
Commission. In 1975, and the

276
00:09:35,504 --> 00:09:37,106
first woman of color to serve

277
00:09:37,106 --> 00:09:39,207
on the Seattle City Council in

278
00:09:39,207 --> 00:09:41,207
1978. And whereas.

279
00:09:41,243 --> 00:09:42,911
During her time on Seattle City

280
00:09:42,911 --> 00:09:43,145
Council, she led the push for

281
00:09:43,145 --> 00:09:44,613
Seattle

282
00:09:44,613 --> 00:09:46,348
s first affirmative

283
00:09:46,348 --> 00:09:47,883
action ordinance, elevated

284
00:09:47,883 --> 00:09:50,520
workers rights and employment

285
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,186
issues, championed economic

286
00:09:51,186 --> 00:09:52,921
development, and fought

287
00:09:52,921 --> 00:09:55,321
discrimination against women of

288
00:09:55,357 --> 00:09:56,358
color, and.

289
00:09:56,358 --> 00:09:57,926
Whereas her public service

290
00:09:57,926 --> 00:09:59,394
extends beyond elected office,

291
00:09:59,394 --> 00:10:00,795
and she served on several

292
00:10:00,795 --> 00:10:02,598
public service commissions,

293
00:10:02,598 --> 00:10:03,632
including the Washington Horse

294
00:10:03,632 --> 00:10:05,330
Racing Commission, the State

295
00:10:05,330 --> 00:10:05,968
Human Rights Commission, and

296
00:10:05,968 --> 00:10:07,403
our own King County Board of

297
00:10:07,403 --> 00:10:09,104
Tax Appeals and Equalization.

298
00:10:09,104 --> 00:10:10,806
And Whereas.

299
00:10:10,806 --> 00:10:12,700
Throughout her life, Dolores

300
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:13,776
has been a voice for the

301
00:10:13,776 --> 00:10:15,944
community, with a journalism

302
00:10:15,944 --> 00:10:18,146
career spanning across print,

303
00:10:18,146 --> 00:10:19,782
television, and eventually

304
00:10:19,782 --> 00:10:22,182
garnering an Emmy nomination

305
00:10:22,484 --> 00:10:24,219
for her work with komo tv. And

306
00:10:24,219 --> 00:10:26,219
Whereas.

307
00:10:27,690 --> 00:10:28,724
In the spring of 2017, Dolores

308
00:10:28,724 --> 00:10:29,658
Vega and John Yoshitomo

309
00:10:29,658 --> 00:10:30,859
approached the county about

310
00:10:30,859 --> 00:10:32,694
creating the Ruth Wu Emerging

311
00:10:32,694 --> 00:10:34,162
Leaders Fellowship to honor

312
00:10:34,162 --> 00:10:35,297
their late friend Ruth Wu and

313
00:10:35,297 --> 00:10:36,465
provide disadvantaged young

314
00:10:36,465 --> 00:10:38,600
people with opportunities in

315
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,600
government. And whereas.

316
00:10:40,803 --> 00:10:43,372
, in these ways and countless

317
00:10:43,372 --> 00:10:45,107
others, Dolores shines as an

318
00:10:45,107 --> 00:10:47,507
advocate, a leader, a

319
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:50,211
trailblazer, and a role model.

320
00:10:50,211 --> 00:10:51,446
Now, therefore, we, the

321
00:10:51,446 --> 00:10:53,480
Metropolitan King County

322
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,116
Council and the King County

323
00:10:55,116 --> 00:10:57,116
Executive, proclaim AUGUST

324
00:10:59,187 --> 00:11:01,990
18th, 2026, as Dolores Day o.

325
00:11:01,990 --> 00:11:03,158
In King County. In recognition

326
00:11:03,158 --> 00:11:04,893
of her achievements and

327
00:11:04,893 --> 00:11:07,293
contributions to the community.

328
00:11:12,670 --> 00:11:14,670
All right.

329
00:11:15,404 --> 00:11:16,371
As Dolores texted me and

330
00:11:16,371 --> 00:11:16,771
Christina recently, we

331
00:11:16,771 --> 00:11:17,806
re going

332
00:11:17,806 --> 00:11:19,700
to go try and see her. She said.

333
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:19,774
The mind is willing, but the

334
00:11:19,774 --> 00:11:21,210
body isn

335
00:11:21,210 --> 00:11:21,777
t. Um. We

336
00:11:21,777 --> 00:11:21,944
ve both.

337
00:11:21,944 --> 00:11:22,711
She

338
00:11:22,711 --> 00:11:23,678
s been in touch with us

339
00:11:23,678 --> 00:11:23,831
today, and she. Sorry she can

340
00:11:23,831 --> 00:11:25,514
t

341
00:11:25,514 --> 00:11:27,883
be here, but, um, one of my

342
00:11:27,883 --> 00:11:29,484
favorite constituents in Lake

343
00:11:29,484 --> 00:11:30,318
Forest Park, her daughter Randy

344
00:11:30,318 --> 00:11:31,352
is here, and I wondered if you

345
00:11:31,352 --> 00:11:36,152
might want to come up and say a

346
00:11:37,893 --> 00:11:38,394
few words.

347
00:11:38,394 --> 00:11:40,394
I am.

348
00:11:40,929 --> 00:11:43,798
Honored to represent mom today.

349
00:11:43,798 --> 00:11:46,635
Um, she turned 95 last week,

350
00:11:46,635 --> 00:11:48,804
and her mind is keen as ever,

351
00:11:48,804 --> 00:11:50,606
but her body, unfortunately, is

352
00:11:50,606 --> 00:11:52,107
really failing her. Otherwise,

353
00:11:52,107 --> 00:11:53,976
she would be here today to

354
00:11:53,976 --> 00:11:56,376
express her deepest gratitude

355
00:11:56,779 --> 00:11:57,790
for this recognition. Mom isn

356
00:11:57,790 --> 00:11:59,790
t

357
00:12:00,749 --> 00:12:03,184
one to ever expect or want

358
00:12:03,184 --> 00:12:05,584
accolades for her achievements.

359
00:12:05,621 --> 00:12:08,290
So over the years, any number

360
00:12:08,290 --> 00:12:10,926
of community folks would urge

361
00:12:10,926 --> 00:12:14,526
her to write her memoir. Um,

362
00:12:14,796 --> 00:12:17,196
she finally capitulated after

363
00:12:17,199 --> 00:12:19,334
realizing that, oh my goodness,

364
00:12:19,334 --> 00:12:21,169
this history of growing up in

365
00:12:21,169 --> 00:12:24,740
Chinatown in the 30s needed to

366
00:12:24,740 --> 00:12:27,709
be captured. Um, and also that

367
00:12:27,709 --> 00:12:29,678
if her story would inspire

368
00:12:29,678 --> 00:12:31,678
anyone, particularly young

369
00:12:33,148 --> 00:12:34,716
people, to become activists and

370
00:12:34,716 --> 00:12:37,119
advocates, then it would be

371
00:12:37,119 --> 00:12:39,621
worth it. So at 90, for her

372
00:12:39,621 --> 00:12:43,821
book The Best Adobo in Town was

373
00:12:43,826 --> 00:12:47,426
birthed. Um, mom, I asked mom

374
00:12:48,297 --> 00:12:49,331
to think about three, uh, key

375
00:12:49,331 --> 00:12:49,932
life lessons that she

376
00:12:49,932 --> 00:12:51,932
d want to

377
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,236
share with you all today. The

378
00:12:54,236 --> 00:12:56,338
first is, and I think she talks

379
00:12:56,338 --> 00:12:59,400
about this in her book, When

380
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Doors Open, walk through them

381
00:13:02,578 --> 00:13:04,613
and she speaks about folks who

382
00:13:04,613 --> 00:13:07,130
came before her. Trailblazers

383
00:13:07,449 --> 00:13:09,849
like Ruby, Councilmember Ruby

384
00:13:09,851 --> 00:13:12,200
Chow, um, publisher Victor

385
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:12,621
Velasco. And throughout her

386
00:13:12,621 --> 00:13:13,922
career, she

387
00:13:13,922 --> 00:13:16,922
s also tried to do

388
00:13:17,192 --> 00:13:17,659
the same. Um, and as she

389
00:13:17,659 --> 00:13:19,659
s been

390
00:13:19,695 --> 00:13:21,897
declining in health, so many

391
00:13:21,897 --> 00:13:22,640
people have stepped forward and

392
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,640
she

393
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,336
s just been so comforted by

394
00:13:27,336 --> 00:13:27,736
the fact that, um, people tell

395
00:13:27,736 --> 00:13:28,970
her it

396
00:13:28,970 --> 00:13:29,972
s because of you that I

397
00:13:29,972 --> 00:13:30,138
went to law school. It

398
00:13:30,138 --> 00:13:31,873
s

399
00:13:31,873 --> 00:13:34,410
because of you that I got into

400
00:13:34,410 --> 00:13:36,845
journalism and decided to run

401
00:13:36,845 --> 00:13:39,314
for public office. The second

402
00:13:39,314 --> 00:13:41,584
is, you need to have a seat at

403
00:13:41,584 --> 00:13:44,153
the table if you want to make a

404
00:13:44,153 --> 00:13:45,153
difference. Um, be the advocate

405
00:13:45,153 --> 00:13:45,887
for folks who don

406
00:13:45,887 --> 00:13:47,887
t have a

407
00:13:48,991 --> 00:13:51,793
voice. And finally, um, know

408
00:13:51,793 --> 00:13:53,862
your worth and never stop

409
00:13:53,862 --> 00:13:55,196
fighting for justice. Thank you

410
00:13:55,196 --> 00:13:57,320
again. Oh.

411
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,320
Thank you.

412
00:13:59,902 --> 00:14:00,680
Thank you. Thank you.

413
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:01,102
We

414
00:14:01,102 --> 00:14:04,102

423
00:15:13,508 --> 00:15:13,809
Yeah. There

She

00:15:17,445 --> 00:15:20,445
ll put it on display.

428
00:15:21,316 --> 00:15:23,316
Good.

429
00:15:23,418 --> 00:15:25,254
Thank you very much.

430
00:15:25,254 --> 00:15:27,654
Councilmember Dembowski and ceo

431
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:29,791
Kim for that presentation. Uh,

432
00:15:29,791 --> 00:15:31,260
we are now going to turn to the

433
00:15:31,260 --> 00:15:32,361
reading of items into the

434
00:15:32,361 --> 00:15:34,729
record and the hearing of

435
00:15:34,729 --> 00:15:36,798
public comments. Uh, but before

436
00:15:36,798 --> 00:15:38,334
we start that, um, before the

437
00:15:38,334 --> 00:15:39,401
clerk reads the items into the

438
00:15:39,401 --> 00:15:40,635
record, we have a handful of

439
00:15:40,635 --> 00:15:42,136
procedural matters to take care

440
00:15:42,136 --> 00:15:44,500
of colleagues. So bear with me

441
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:45,240
here. Uh, first Vice Chair

442
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,875
Dunn, will you please make a

443
00:15:46,875 --> 00:15:48,543
motion to relieve the local

Services and Land Use Committee

445
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:52,614
for items seven and eight.

446
00:15:52,614 --> 00:15:54,383
Move to relieve the local

447
00:15:54,383 --> 00:15:56,485
Services and land use Committee

448
00:15:56,485 --> 00:15:57,419
for items both seven and eight.

449
00:15:57,419 --> 00:15:58,753
Thank you very much. That

450
00:15:58,753 --> 00:16:00,589

00:16:06,928 --> 00:16:08,230

00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:10,999
remove item nine from the

00:16:10,999 --> 00:16:12,133
consent agenda? So moved. Thank

458
00:16:12,133 --> 00:16:13,568
you. The motion is before us.

459
00:16:13,568 --> 00:16:15,837
All those in favor say aye.

460
00:16:15,837 --> 00:16:18,640
Aye, aye. Those opposed say

461
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,341
nay. The motion is approved.

462
00:16:20,341 --> 00:16:21,943
Turning to our next procedural

463
00:16:21,943 --> 00:16:24,313
matter, which concerns agenda

464
00:16:24,313 --> 00:16:25,447
item 13, the sponsor of this

465
00:16:25,447 --> 00:16:26,615
legislation, Councilmember

466
00:16:26,615 --> 00:16:28,116
Dembowski, has requested this

467
00:16:28,116 --> 00:16:29,618
item not be taken up today and

468
00:16:29,618 --> 00:16:31,487
is to be placed on the agenda

469
00:16:31,487 --> 00:16:33,488
for first reading and referral.

470
00:16:33,488 --> 00:16:34,823
This item will therefore be

471
00:16:34,823 --> 00:16:36,157
referred to the transportation,

472
00:16:36,157 --> 00:16:38,260
Economy and Environment

473
00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:39,600
Committee. I understand that

474
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,495
Councilmember Dembowski would

475
00:16:40,495 --> 00:16:41,463
like to make a few remarks, so

476
00:16:41,463 --> 00:16:41,830
please go ahead, Councilmember

477
00:16:41,830 --> 00:16:43,398
Busk.

478
00:16:43,398 --> 00:16:45,267
Thank you, MISTER Chair. Um,

479
00:16:45,267 --> 00:16:46,368
this particular ordinance is is

480
00:16:46,368 --> 00:16:48,136
unusual in nature, I

481
00:16:48,136 --> 00:16:49,838
acknowledge, and it relates to

482
00:16:49,838 --> 00:16:51,340
a service change that is

483
00:16:51,340 --> 00:16:53,740
occurring largely in my

484
00:16:54,750 --> 00:16:55,843
district related to route 372,

485
00:16:55,843 --> 00:16:57,646
a very popular route that

486
00:16:57,646 --> 00:16:59,548
basically runs from uw Bothell

487
00:16:59,548 --> 00:17:00,715
to the uw main campus, right

488
00:17:00,715 --> 00:17:02,500
down what I call the spine of

489
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:04,850
my district, which is State

490
00:17:04,850 --> 00:17:05,387
Route 522 Bothell Way, Lake

491
00:17:05,387 --> 00:17:06,521
City Way. Depending on where

492
00:17:06,521 --> 00:17:07,155
you are on it. It

493
00:17:07,155 --> 00:17:08,824
s a real

494
00:17:08,824 --> 00:17:10,158
workhorse route. It has been

495
00:17:10,158 --> 00:17:11,860
for many years. It

496
00:17:11,860 --> 00:17:13,860
s the

497
00:17:14,729 --> 00:17:16,970
interestingly, the most popular

498
00:17:16,970 --> 00:17:18,497
University of Washington. You

499
00:17:19,268 --> 00:17:22,268
pass route, uh, in 2025, they

500
00:17:24,172 --> 00:17:26,572
had 919,000 boardings. Using a

501
00:17:26,941 --> 00:17:28,100
you pass on route 372, a lot of

502
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:29,244
riders, uh, it

503
00:17:29,244 --> 00:17:30,145
s going away in

504
00:17:30,145 --> 00:17:30,378
a couple of weeks, and it

505
00:17:30,378 --> 00:17:32,378
s

506
00:17:32,647 --> 00:17:33,982
caused a lot of concern in my

507
00:17:33,982 --> 00:17:35,950
district. I think all of you

508
00:17:35,950 --> 00:17:38,487
received a letter, uh, signed

509
00:17:38,487 --> 00:17:40,822
on by a number of folks,

510
00:17:40,822 --> 00:17:43,822
including, uh, cities of Lake

511
00:17:43,925 --> 00:17:46,394
Forest Park, the city of

512
00:17:46,394 --> 00:17:48,163
Kenmore, City of Bothell, the

513
00:17:48,163 --> 00:17:50,563
North Urban Human Services

514
00:17:51,466 --> 00:17:53,866
Alliance, um Transit Riders

515
00:17:54,703 --> 00:17:57,103
Union, the Urbanist, shoreline,

516
00:17:57,372 --> 00:17:58,773
um Lake City Business Alliance,

517
00:17:58,773 --> 00:17:59,741
the Non Drivers Alliance, and

518
00:17:59,741 --> 00:18:01,209
others. Um, it

519
00:18:01,209 --> 00:18:02,770
s in my time

520
00:18:02,770 --> 00:18:02,411
here on the council. I

521
00:18:02,411 --> 00:18:03,645
ve done

522
00:18:03,645 --> 00:18:04,913
a lot of service changes and

523
00:18:04,913 --> 00:18:05,790
when you eliminate a route,

524
00:18:05,790 --> 00:18:06,348
it

525
00:18:06,348 --> 00:18:06,648
s usually not very popular.

526
00:18:06,648 --> 00:18:07,348
People don

527
00:18:07,348 --> 00:18:08,750
t like to see their

528
00:18:08,750 --> 00:18:08,917
routes go away, and sometimes

529
00:18:08,917 --> 00:18:09,518
it

530
00:18:09,518 --> 00:18:11,386
s hard to see the

531
00:18:11,386 --> 00:18:13,210
replacement routes. But this

532
00:18:13,210 --> 00:18:15,957
one has caused quite a bit of

533
00:18:15,957 --> 00:18:17,525
challenges. Um, I had the

534
00:18:17,525 --> 00:18:18,793
ordinance drafted introduced

535
00:18:18,793 --> 00:18:21,193
because there was some

536
00:18:21,629 --> 00:18:23,699
communication from Metro at a

537
00:18:23,699 --> 00:18:24,800
presentation to the Lake Forest

538
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:25,601
Park City Council, and then

539
00:18:25,601 --> 00:18:26,834
also in some written

540
00:18:26,834 --> 00:18:28,200
communication, basically kind

541
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,237
of saying, well, the county

542
00:18:29,237 --> 00:18:30,638
council did this and it would

543
00:18:30,638 --> 00:18:32,841
take a legislative act to undo

544
00:18:32,841 --> 00:18:34,442
it. Um, which is true. But

545
00:18:34,442 --> 00:18:37,645
really what we did was adopt

546
00:18:37,645 --> 00:18:40,810
the Metro proposal. Um, and uh,

547
00:18:40,810 --> 00:18:41,115
I was in communication with

548
00:18:41,115 --> 00:18:42,684
Metro in the office. I thought

549
00:18:42,684 --> 00:18:44,385
perhaps there might be given

550
00:18:44,385 --> 00:18:46,588
the great interest in the

551
00:18:46,588 --> 00:18:48,290
route. A pause, administrative

552
00:18:48,290 --> 00:18:50,492
pause, and they might need a

553
00:18:50,492 --> 00:18:52,227
legislative companion to

554
00:18:52,227 --> 00:18:52,627
endorse that. So, um, I

555
00:18:52,627 --> 00:18:53,828
m not

556
00:18:53,828 --> 00:18:54,128
asking for a vote here today

557
00:18:54,128 --> 00:18:55,363
because it

558
00:18:55,363 --> 00:18:57,366
s not practical. The

559
00:18:57,366 --> 00:18:58,767
way we run routes, um, you

560
00:18:58,767 --> 00:18:59,834
know, routes are picked by our

561
00:18:59,834 --> 00:19:01,736
drivers. You got to have the

562
00:19:01,736 --> 00:19:01,937
equipment to run it. Um,

563
00:19:01,937 --> 00:19:02,871
there

564
00:19:02,871 --> 00:19:04,372
s a lot that goes into a

565
00:19:04,372 --> 00:19:06,274
service change, but I did want

566
00:19:06,274 --> 00:19:07,742
to take a few moments to just

567
00:19:07,742 --> 00:19:08,810
acknowledge that this is a

568
00:19:08,810 --> 00:19:10,645
difficult change for the

569
00:19:10,645 --> 00:19:12,580
community. We included in our

570
00:19:12,580 --> 00:19:14,950
budget a proviso asking for a

571
00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:15,516
Gaps analysis to see how we

572
00:19:15,516 --> 00:19:16,584
might. We

573
00:19:16,584 --> 00:19:17,586
ll see the impacts of

574
00:19:17,586 --> 00:19:19,721
this and then see how we might

575
00:19:19,721 --> 00:19:22,491
address it later. But the core

576
00:19:22,491 --> 00:19:23,925
of it is, um, a lot of one seat

577
00:19:23,925 --> 00:19:25,494
rides can serve a lot of

578
00:19:25,494 --> 00:19:27,295
communities, including the

579
00:19:27,295 --> 00:19:27,795
struggling community of of Lake

580
00:19:27,795 --> 00:19:29,197
City, where we

581
00:19:29,197 --> 00:19:31,133
ve lost a number

582
00:19:31,133 --> 00:19:33,369
of drugstores and grocery

583
00:19:33,369 --> 00:19:35,170
stores. Um, are going to have

584
00:19:35,170 --> 00:19:36,204
some challenges getting through

585
00:19:36,204 --> 00:19:36,357
this corridor. There

586
00:19:36,357 --> 00:19:37,605
s

587
00:19:37,605 --> 00:19:38,706
definitely replacement service

588
00:19:38,706 --> 00:19:40,942
coming to connect to light

589
00:19:40,942 --> 00:19:41,376
rail. Um, but for certain

590
00:19:41,376 --> 00:19:43,376
rides, it

591
00:19:43,412 --> 00:19:45,280
s not as convenient

592
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,182
and not as effective. And and

593
00:19:47,182 --> 00:19:48,490
the transfers around 145 Lake

594
00:19:48,490 --> 00:19:49,550
City were particularly

595
00:19:49,550 --> 00:19:51,253
challenging. So I guess what I

596
00:19:51,253 --> 00:19:52,687
wanted to say is, um, I

597
00:19:52,687 --> 00:19:53,889
appreciate the outreach from

598
00:19:53,889 --> 00:19:55,824
the community. We are going to

599
00:19:55,824 --> 00:19:59,424
keep working on service in this

600
00:19:59,994 --> 00:20:03,265
in this area. And, um, but this

601
00:20:03,265 --> 00:20:04,933
this is not ready, ready to

602
00:20:04,933 --> 00:20:05,734
take action on practically. So

603
00:20:05,734 --> 00:20:06,902

604
00:20:06,902 --> 00:20:07,836

00:24:54,756 --> 00:24:57,659
ten year ago Council make third

767
00:24:57,659 --> 00:25:00,395
street only for buses. Smarter

768
00:25:00,395 --> 00:25:01,295
day. Exactly. Absolutely. So

769
00:25:01,295 --> 00:25:02,330
for ten years I

770
00:25:02,330 --> 00:25:04,330
m talking why

771
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:07,680
buses have a special street

772
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,737
number three in downtown. You

773
00:25:08,737 --> 00:25:12,337
know what is mean. But most

774
00:25:12,774 --> 00:25:14,776
buses go in street for why?

775
00:25:14,776 --> 00:25:16,878
What is the reason for this?

776
00:25:16,878 --> 00:25:18,980
Who these people with soft

777
00:25:18,980 --> 00:25:21,549
brain who cannot fix this

778
00:25:21,549 --> 00:25:23,949
problem is idiotic situation.

779
00:25:24,319 --> 00:25:26,754
Please cost us a million bucks.

780
00:25:26,754 --> 00:25:29,154
And this complication. Because

781
00:25:29,324 --> 00:25:31,860
four in downtown is very busy.

782
00:25:31,860 --> 00:25:34,696
So these buses make situation

783
00:25:34,696 --> 00:25:35,664
complicated, dangerous and cost

784
00:25:35,664 --> 00:25:35,864
a ton of money. I don

785
00:25:35,864 --> 00:25:37,298
t

786
00:25:37,298 --> 00:25:39,467
understand who this freaking

787
00:25:39,467 --> 00:25:41,867
idiot who different in

788
00:25:42,337 --> 00:25:43,938
approximately 3040ft from one

789
00:25:43,938 --> 00:25:46,274
line to another cannot move

790
00:25:46,274 --> 00:25:47,442
buses to street number three.

791
00:25:47,442 --> 00:25:48,430
And I token, this doesn

792
00:25:48,430 --> 00:25:49,711
t time

793
00:25:49,711 --> 00:25:53,311
for three for ten years and

794
00:25:53,314 --> 00:25:54,916
nothing happened. No one. Sorry

795
00:25:54,916 --> 00:25:56,918
man, without brain, you know

796
00:25:56,918 --> 00:25:59,955
what this mean? One fixes this.

797
00:25:59,955 --> 00:26:02,423
So my question right now why

798
00:26:02,423 --> 00:26:03,224
people in King County, you

799
00:26:03,224 --> 00:26:03,378
know, what is men don

800
00:26:03,378 --> 00:26:05,590
t

801
00:26:05,590 --> 00:26:06,995
understand says I, African and

802
00:26:06,995 --> 00:26:08,620
Nazi buster. You know fascist.

803
00:26:08,620 --> 00:26:09,898
You know what is mean? What is

804
00:26:09,898 --> 00:26:11,800
not care about people, money.

805
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,701
Viva Trump. Even your American

806
00:26:12,701 --> 00:26:13,668
ReReRevolution. It

807
00:26:13,668 --> 00:26:15,668
s very

808
00:26:15,803 --> 00:26:17,472
complicated. Stand up Slovene

809
00:26:17,472 --> 00:26:19,872
happy cows, very complicated.

810
00:26:20,508 --> 00:26:22,908
Make one third avenue.

811
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,846
Thank you. Your time is up.

812
00:26:24,846 --> 00:26:28,383
The next name on the list is

813
00:26:28,383 --> 00:26:30,383
Yvette Danish.

814
00:26:32,454 --> 00:26:33,821
Welcome, Yvette.

815
00:26:33,821 --> 00:26:35,656
So this is.

816
00:26:35,656 --> 00:26:35,924
A quick aside. I didn

817
00:26:35,924 --> 00:26:36,157
t know

818
00:26:36,157 --> 00:26:37,525
that we

819
00:26:37,525 --> 00:26:37,826
re here long. She

820
00:26:37,826 --> 00:26:39,194
s

821
00:26:39,194 --> 00:26:42,794
just so secret. I had to

822
00:26:47,502 --> 00:26:48,970
comment out of. So no.

823
00:26:48,970 --> 00:26:49,337
Uh. Good afternoon. Yvette.

824
00:26:49,337 --> 00:26:51,337
Donna, I

825
00:26:51,472 --> 00:26:53,241
m from the South End,

826
00:26:53,241 --> 00:26:54,375
and, uh, the the Lord

827
00:26:54,375 --> 00:26:56,375
s day was

828
00:26:56,644 --> 00:26:58,846
remarkable because the honors

829
00:26:58,846 --> 00:27:00,215
her achievements and advocacy,

830
00:27:00,215 --> 00:27:02,950
which in turn reminded me of

831
00:27:02,950 --> 00:27:04,950
another female trailblazer,

832
00:27:04,952 --> 00:27:06,121
Jennifer Dunn, which in turn

833
00:27:06,121 --> 00:27:07,656
reminded me of her son,

834
00:27:07,656 --> 00:27:09,524
Councilmember Reagan Dunn,

835
00:27:09,524 --> 00:27:11,590
which in turn are brought to

836
00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:13,662
mind the article in the Seattle

837
00:27:13,662 --> 00:27:14,763
Times that he wrote saying that

838
00:27:14,763 --> 00:27:15,663
the Seattle region

839
00:27:15,663 --> 00:27:17,399
s approach

840
00:27:17,399 --> 00:27:19,301
to homelessness needs a

841
00:27:19,301 --> 00:27:20,268
complete overhaul and that it

842
00:27:20,268 --> 00:27:21,536
does. And in particular, I

843
00:27:21,536 --> 00:27:23,304
refer to the last paragraph in

844
00:27:23,304 --> 00:27:24,940
which he states that King

845
00:27:24,940 --> 00:27:26,975
County and Seattle have an

846
00:27:26,975 --> 00:27:28,743
opportunity to move beyond the

847
00:27:28,743 --> 00:27:30,378
false choice between compassion

848
00:27:30,378 --> 00:27:32,714
and accountability. We need

849
00:27:32,714 --> 00:27:34,515
both a successful system to

850
00:27:34,515 --> 00:27:36,217
invest in our diversity of

851
00:27:36,217 --> 00:27:38,190
solutions, but not shy away

852
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:39,454
from holding people accountable

853
00:27:39,454 --> 00:27:41,356
and intervening when people are

854
00:27:41,356 --> 00:27:42,857
too sick to help themselves.

855
00:27:42,857 --> 00:27:44,693
Other jurisdictions are proving

856
00:27:44,693 --> 00:27:46,161
that these strategies work.

857
00:27:46,161 --> 00:27:47,862
Local leaders should implement

858
00:27:47,862 --> 00:27:49,497
them here and revert to failed

859
00:27:49,497 --> 00:27:51,333
policy. Experiments over the

860
00:27:51,333 --> 00:27:52,333
last decade. Well written and I

861
00:27:52,333 --> 00:27:53,769
totally agree with what he had

862
00:27:53,769 --> 00:27:55,503
to say. Thank you.

863
00:27:55,503 --> 00:27:56,304
Thank you. Reagan all signed

864
00:27:56,304 --> 00:27:59,304
that. If you want an

865
00:27:59,507 --> 00:27:59,974
autographed copy of it.

866
00:27:59,974 --> 00:28:00,241
Well.

867
00:28:00,241 --> 00:28:00,675
Yeah, I

868
00:28:00,675 --> 00:28:02,675
m serious.

869
00:28:02,778 --> 00:28:03,678
If you want.

870
00:28:03,678 --> 00:28:03,845
Thank you very much.

871
00:28:03,845 --> 00:28:05,647
Let

872
00:28:05,647 --> 00:28:07,480
s go to. The next one. Next

873
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:07,249
speaker. Gotcha.

874
00:28:07,249 --> 00:28:07,749
That

875
00:28:07,749 --> 00:28:09,617
s good buddy.

876
00:28:09,617 --> 00:28:12,120
The next name on the list is

877
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:14,120
Joe Kunstler.

878
00:28:15,323 --> 00:28:15,723
Craigslist.

879
00:28:15,723 --> 00:28:17,723
Joe.

880
00:28:18,226 --> 00:28:18,960
Hi, everybody. Can you hear me?

881
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,394
Yes.

882
00:28:20,394 --> 00:28:21,596
Great. Joe Kunstler here.

883
00:28:21,596 --> 00:28:22,931
Always happy to call in. I

884
00:28:22,931 --> 00:28:24,232
understand what your

885
00:28:24,232 --> 00:28:26,232
Councilmember Dembowski needs.

886
00:28:26,434 --> 00:28:27,635
A bus saved from Nazis. And,

887
00:28:27,635 --> 00:28:28,570
uh, I very much support his

888
00:28:28,570 --> 00:28:28,721
efforts today. I think it

889
00:28:28,721 --> 00:28:29,637
s

890
00:28:29,637 --> 00:28:30,672
important we have neighborhood

891
00:28:30,672 --> 00:28:31,106
service. I think it

892
00:28:31,106 --> 00:28:32,307
s important

893
00:28:32,307 --> 00:28:33,742
that we have democratic

894
00:28:33,742 --> 00:28:35,409
representation over public

895
00:28:35,409 --> 00:28:37,612
transportation. And I believe

896
00:28:37,612 --> 00:28:39,480
that route free 72 should be

897
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,820
renamed the Dombrowski route.

898
00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:42,216
Um, to remain consistent with

899
00:28:42,216 --> 00:28:43,284
all my teachings. Like, for

900
00:28:43,284 --> 00:28:44,653
instance, we should name the

901
00:28:44,653 --> 00:28:47,289
East Main station the Claudia

902
00:28:47,289 --> 00:28:49,324
duty station. Hi, Claudia. And

903
00:28:49,324 --> 00:28:49,925
we should also, um, you know

904
00:28:49,925 --> 00:28:50,659
what? What? We

905
00:28:50,659 --> 00:28:52,427
re, uh,

906
00:28:52,427 --> 00:28:54,262
yammering away here. Um, you

907
00:28:54,262 --> 00:28:55,697
know, really make sure that,

908
00:28:55,697 --> 00:28:56,764
uh, King County metro is

909
00:28:56,764 --> 00:28:57,966
responsive to the local

910
00:28:57,966 --> 00:28:59,400

911
00:28:59,400 --> 00:28:59,564

00:28:59,564 --> 00:29:00,736

tomorrow to go to the airport.

915
00:29:02,737 --> 00:29:05,339
So I want to thank you for

916
00:29:05,339 --> 00:29:05,501
public service. And, uh, and

917
00:29:05,501 --> 00:29:06,408
I

918
00:29:06,408 --> 00:29:07,208

00:30:07,168 --> 00:30:09,137
materials for this item begin

960
00:30:09,137 --> 00:30:10,938
on page 32 of the meeting

961
00:30:10,938 --> 00:30:12,173
packet. Um, the clerk also

962
00:30:12,173 --> 00:30:13,775
emailed some additional

963
00:30:13,775 --> 00:30:15,644
materials out to members this

964
00:30:15,644 --> 00:30:18,479
morning. Before you today are

965
00:30:18,479 --> 00:30:20,879
two motions. Proposed motion

966
00:30:22,850 --> 00:30:24,385
2026 0168 and 0169, which would

967
00:30:24,385 --> 00:30:26,121
fill two vacant positions on

968
00:30:26,121 --> 00:30:27,989
the fire district number 24,

969
00:30:27,989 --> 00:30:29,357
Board of Commissioners. All

970
00:30:29,357 --> 00:30:30,425
three board positions are

971
00:30:30,425 --> 00:30:31,693
currently vacant, and the

972
00:30:31,693 --> 00:30:33,270
district has not held any

973
00:30:33,270 --> 00:30:35,270
elections for commissioners

974
00:30:35,831 --> 00:30:37,265
since 2013. Under state law, if

975
00:30:37,265 --> 00:30:38,800
there are less than two members

976
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,602
of a governing body for a

977
00:30:40,602 --> 00:30:42,437
special purpose district, then

978
00:30:42,437 --> 00:30:44,720
the legislative authority of

979
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:45,673
the county is responsible for

980
00:30:45,673 --> 00:30:47,875
appointing physicians until the

981
00:30:47,875 --> 00:30:49,477
body has two members, and then

982
00:30:49,477 --> 00:30:50,611
those two commissioners have 90

983
00:30:50,611 --> 00:30:53,611
days to fill the remaining

984
00:30:53,914 --> 00:30:56,217
vacancy. As a brief background,

985
00:30:56,217 --> 00:30:57,819
Fire district 24 is a small

986
00:30:57,819 --> 00:30:59,553
special purpose district

987
00:30:59,553 --> 00:31:01,690
located in unincorporated King

988
00:31:01,690 --> 00:31:03,190
County. There is a map on the

989
00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:03,858
screen, um, and it

990
00:31:03,858 --> 00:31:05,858
s in between

991
00:31:06,361 --> 00:31:08,529
the cities of Tukwila, Kent and

992
00:31:08,529 --> 00:31:10,465
SeaTac. Uh, just some brief

993
00:31:10,465 --> 00:31:12,465
history. Originally included

994
00:31:12,534 --> 00:31:13,935
what is now the city of SeaTac.

995
00:31:13,935 --> 00:31:16,935
Uh, the city was incorporated

996
00:31:17,773 --> 00:31:19,306
in 1989. Um, just 2% of the

997
00:31:19,306 --> 00:31:20,975
district at that time remain

998
00:31:20,975 --> 00:31:24,575
outside of that area. And then

999
00:31:25,646 --> 00:31:26,848
ten years later, in 22,009, um,

1000
00:31:26,848 --> 00:31:28,917
three fourths of the district

1001
00:31:28,917 --> 00:31:30,585
was annexed by the city of

1002
00:31:30,585 --> 00:31:31,886
Tukwila. So the district

1003
00:31:31,886 --> 00:31:34,286
currently does not provide

1004
00:31:34,722 --> 00:31:37,122
direct fire services. Instead,

1005
00:31:37,225 --> 00:31:39,694
there is an Mou under which

1006
00:31:39,694 --> 00:31:41,129
Tukwila provides services to a

1007
00:31:41,129 --> 00:31:42,697
portion of the district that is

1008
00:31:42,697 --> 00:31:44,697
within Tukwila. Potential

1009
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,368
annexation area, and then under

1010
00:31:47,368 --> 00:31:49,104
another legacy agreement with

1011
00:31:49,104 --> 00:31:51,390
the city of SeaTac, the Puget

1012
00:31:51,390 --> 00:31:52,207
Sound Regional Fire Authority

1013
00:31:52,207 --> 00:31:53,374
provides services to the

1014
00:31:53,374 --> 00:31:54,508
remainder of the district,

1015
00:31:54,508 --> 00:31:54,875
which is in the City of Kent

1016
00:31:54,875 --> 00:31:56,875
s

1017
00:31:57,111 --> 00:31:59,480
potential annexation area. Um

1018
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,181
under state law, by JUNE 1st of

1019
00:32:00,181 --> 00:32:00,481
each year, the county

1020
00:32:00,481 --> 00:32:01,550
s

1021
00:32:01,550 --> 00:32:02,917
auditor, which in the case of

1022
00:32:02,917 --> 00:32:05,190
King County is the Department

1023
00:32:05,190 --> 00:32:07,321
of Elections, is required to

1024
00:32:07,321 --> 00:32:08,556
search records and then notify

1025
00:32:08,556 --> 00:32:09,657
the legislative authority,

1026
00:32:09,657 --> 00:32:11,692
which in the case of King

1027
00:32:11,692 --> 00:32:12,927
County is you, the council, um,

1028
00:32:12,927 --> 00:32:15,960
if any special purpose

1029
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,265
districts are appear to be

1030
00:32:17,265 --> 00:32:18,533
inactive after this notice from

1031
00:32:18,533 --> 00:32:19,734
elections, the council is

1032
00:32:19,734 --> 00:32:22,300
required to hold a public

1033
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:23,710
hearing before SEPTEMBER 1st to

1034
00:32:23,710 --> 00:32:24,939
determine whether these

1035
00:32:24,939 --> 00:32:27,339
districts are meeting the

1036
00:32:27,508 --> 00:32:29,908
criteria for being inactive.

1037
00:32:31,679 --> 00:32:32,981
Every year since 2000, 22,

1038
00:32:32,981 --> 00:32:34,915
elections has notified the

1039
00:32:34,915 --> 00:32:36,618
council of the apparently

1040
00:32:36,618 --> 00:32:38,220
inactive status of this

1041
00:32:38,220 --> 00:32:39,787
district. Um, as I mentioned,

1042
00:32:39,787 --> 00:32:40,989
elections has no record that

1043
00:32:40,989 --> 00:32:42,357
the district has held any

1044
00:32:42,357 --> 00:32:44,357
elections for commissioners

1045
00:32:44,659 --> 00:32:46,127
since 2013, and the state

1046
00:32:46,127 --> 00:32:47,595
Auditor also declared the

1047
00:32:47,595 --> 00:32:49,995
district as quote unquote,

1048
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,867
unaudited in its report from

1049
00:32:52,867 --> 00:32:54,368
2021. The council has provided

1050
00:32:54,368 --> 00:32:56,171
a public hearing in accordance

1051
00:32:56,171 --> 00:32:58,139
with state law each year since

1052
00:32:58,139 --> 00:33:00,208
2022, and it has chosen to

1053
00:33:00,208 --> 00:33:03,208
defer action. The next hearing

1054
00:33:03,377 --> 00:33:06,800
is scheduled for next Tuesday,

1055
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:07,649
AUGUST 25th. So that brings us

1056
00:33:07,649 --> 00:33:09,500
to today. As I mentioned, all

1057
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:10,285
three positions are currently

1058
00:33:10,285 --> 00:33:11,853
vacant, and the proposed

1059
00:33:11,853 --> 00:33:13,921
motions would fill positions

1060
00:33:13,921 --> 00:33:15,890
two and three, after which the

1061
00:33:15,890 --> 00:33:16,257
two commissioners would then

1062
00:33:16,257 --> 00:33:18,920
have 90 days to fill the

1063
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,294
remaining vacancy for position

1064
00:33:20,294 --> 00:33:21,863
one. If those two commissioners

1065
00:33:21,863 --> 00:33:22,897
do not fill that position, this

1066
00:33:22,897 --> 00:33:25,660
will come back to you, and the

1067
00:33:25,660 --> 00:33:27,869
Council will then have 180 days

1068
00:33:27,869 --> 00:33:29,603
to fill the third position. Uh,

1069
00:33:29,603 --> 00:33:31,339
as far as terms go, any of the

1070
00:33:31,339 --> 00:33:32,940
positions appointed by council

1071
00:33:32,940 --> 00:33:36,377
would be held until the next

1072
00:33:36,377 --> 00:33:37,812
general election in 2027. And

1073
00:33:37,812 --> 00:33:39,480
then after that election,

1074
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,282
position one would be a two

1075
00:33:41,282 --> 00:33:42,917
year term. Position two would

1076
00:33:42,917 --> 00:33:44,486
be a four year term, and

1077
00:33:44,486 --> 00:33:46,321
position three would be a six

1078
00:33:46,321 --> 00:33:48,957
year term to stagger those.

1079
00:33:48,957 --> 00:33:50,891
Next up for the district, due

1080
00:33:50,891 --> 00:33:52,260
to the apparent inactivity of

1081
00:33:52,260 --> 00:33:53,762
the district and the need to

1082
00:33:53,762 --> 00:33:55,429
continue to provide ongoing

1083
00:33:55,429 --> 00:33:56,798
services, the council has

1084
00:33:56,798 --> 00:33:57,866
considered different options

1085
00:33:57,866 --> 00:33:59,900
over the years regarding the

1086
00:33:59,900 --> 00:34:01,802
future of the district, and one

1087
00:34:01,802 --> 00:34:03,805
potential would be a proposal

1088
00:34:03,805 --> 00:34:06,508
to merge the district with Fire

1089
00:34:06,508 --> 00:34:08,900
District 37. Filling the board

1090
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:10,409
would allow the commissioners

1091
00:34:10,545 --> 00:34:13,545
to work together to determine

1092
00:34:15,383 --> 00:34:19,287
the next steps on their own. Um

1093
00:34:19,287 --> 00:34:21,287
proposed motion 2026 0168 would

1094
00:34:21,656 --> 00:34:23,291
appoint MR. Anton, Joseph, Zach

1095
00:34:23,291 --> 00:34:25,593
or Tony to fill position number

1096
00:34:25,593 --> 00:34:26,427
two on the board. Uh, he grew

1097
00:34:26,427 --> 00:34:27,795
up in the neighborhood

1098
00:34:27,795 --> 00:34:29,264

24 and has served as a

00:34:30,532 --> 00:34:32,334
commissioner for King County

1101
00:34:32,334 --> 00:34:34,269
Drainage District Number two

1102

1103
00:34:36,710 --> 00:34:37,772
accounting from working with

1104
00:34:37,772 --> 00:34:40,172
Kent School District. Proposed

1105
00:34:41,442 --> 00:34:43,442
motion 2026 0169 would appoint

1106
00:34:43,811 --> 00:34:45,313
MR. James Donald Hopf or Jim to

1107
00:34:45,313 --> 00:34:47,381
fill position number three on

1108
00:34:47,381 --> 00:34:49,217
the board. He has lived in Fire

00:34:53,521 --> 00:34:55,423

00:34:55,423 --> 00:34:56,958

1114
00:34:58,659 --> 00:34:58,927

00:35:07,340 --> 00:35:08,169

Thank you very much, cherry.

00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:15,777
Appreciate that report. Uh, do

1125
00:35:15,777 --> 00:35:16,845
my colleagues have any

1126
00:35:16,845 --> 00:35:18,120

1127
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,281

Thank you. No questions. Just

00:35:23,285 --> 00:35:25,530
would like to speak to it.

1132
00:35:25,530 --> 00:35:26,320
Thank you. Thank you all for,

1133
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,720
uh, allowing these appointments

1134
00:35:28,823 --> 00:35:30,392
to bypass the committee. For

1135
00:35:30,392 --> 00:35:31,359
context, they were referred to

1136
00:35:31,359 --> 00:35:33,759
committee, but because of

1137
00:35:34,729 --> 00:35:36,897
timing and, um, somewhat urgent

1138
00:35:36,897 --> 00:35:37,965
need to move this along, we

1139
00:35:37,965 --> 00:35:40,334
asked the chair to bring them

1140
00:35:40,334 --> 00:35:42,870
directly to us at council for

1141
00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:45,270
consideration today. So, uh,

1142
00:35:47,208 --> 00:35:48,420
motion 0168 relating to, uh,

1143
00:35:48,420 --> 00:35:49,176
MR. Reagan

1144
00:35:49,176 --> 00:35:49,777
s appointment is

1145
00:35:49,777 --> 00:35:50,111
before us, but I

1146
00:35:50,111 --> 00:35:52,111
m going to

1147
00:35:52,613 --> 00:35:54,140
speak to, um, well, what I

1148
00:35:54,140 --> 00:35:54,182
speak to will apply to both. So

1149
00:35:54,182 --> 00:35:56,182
we

1150
00:35:57,252 --> 00:35:59,653
ll save some time here. Um,

1151
00:35:59,653 --> 00:36:01,456
this is an unusual situation

1152
00:36:01,456 --> 00:36:02,924
that has been unresolved for a

1153
00:36:02,924 --> 00:36:05,226
long time. As you heard, uh,

1154
00:36:05,226 --> 00:36:07,280
fire district 24 sits in

1155
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,280
unincorporated district five.

1156
00:36:10,197 --> 00:36:12,967
We had put the map up earlier.

1157
00:36:12,967 --> 00:36:14,735
Just, um, to illustrate that

1158
00:36:14,735 --> 00:36:16,704
the unincorporated area is in

1159
00:36:16,704 --> 00:36:19,140
red. Uh, here in the center of

1160
00:36:19,140 --> 00:36:20,542
the page, it sits somewhat of

1161
00:36:20,542 --> 00:36:21,909
as an island. Um, you

1162
00:36:21,909 --> 00:36:23,909
ll see to

1163
00:36:25,179 --> 00:36:27,682
the west it sits SeaTac,

1164
00:36:27,682 --> 00:36:29,830
directly to the east is Tukwila

1165
00:36:29,830 --> 00:36:32,120
in the darker yellow and then

1166
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,421
pale yellow to the east and

1167
00:36:34,421 --> 00:36:36,457
south sits Kent, and then Des

1168
00:36:36,457 --> 00:36:40,570
Moines is in the orange there.

1169
00:36:41,228 --> 00:36:43,300
Um, it is complicated, as you

1170
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:44,632
can imagine, with several

1171
00:36:44,632 --> 00:36:46,632
different potential annexation

1172
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,469
areas with Tukwila and Kent.

1173
00:36:48,469 --> 00:36:49,971
Um, and then SeaTac also

1174
00:36:49,971 --> 00:36:52,371
providing some services there.

1175
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:55,343
So, um, residents, I do want to

1176
00:36:55,343 --> 00:36:56,610
reiterate, residents, uh, do

1177
00:36:56,610 --> 00:36:56,811
receive fire service, so

1178
00:36:56,811 --> 00:36:57,612
they

1179
00:36:57,612 --> 00:36:58,212
re not without fire

1180
00:36:58,212 --> 00:36:58,579
service, but it

1181
00:36:58,579 --> 00:37:00,114
s through

1182
00:37:00,114 --> 00:37:00,281
existing agreements and there

1183
00:37:00,281 --> 00:37:01,515
s

1184
00:37:01,515 --> 00:37:02,683
no functioning board of

1185
00:37:02,683 --> 00:37:04,185
commissioners to oversee the

1186
00:37:04,185 --> 00:37:05,987
district or oversee any

1187
00:37:05,987 --> 00:37:07,421
outstanding financial issues or

1188
00:37:07,421 --> 00:37:09,224
even really address the future

1189
00:37:09,224 --> 00:37:11,158
of this district. So over the

1190
00:37:11,158 --> 00:37:13,928
past seven months, our offices

1191
00:37:13,928 --> 00:37:15,396
work closely with our local and

1192
00:37:15,396 --> 00:37:17,131
regional affairs team and the

1193
00:37:17,131 --> 00:37:18,966
residents of the district to

1194
00:37:18,966 --> 00:37:21,366
identify available options and

1195
00:37:22,703 --> 00:37:23,304
identify um residents who are

1196
00:37:23,304 --> 00:37:24,539
willing to serve as

1197
00:37:24,539 --> 00:37:26,540
commissioners, for which we are

1198
00:37:26,540 --> 00:37:27,942
very grateful. Um, after many

1199
00:37:27,942 --> 00:37:29,977
conversations and meetings with

1200
00:37:29,977 --> 00:37:31,579
property owners and residents,

1201
00:37:31,579 --> 00:37:33,314
i agree with the residents that

1202
00:37:33,314 --> 00:37:35,316
appointing commissioners is the

1203
00:37:35,316 --> 00:37:37,652
next best next step. It

1204
00:37:37,652 --> 00:37:39,253
restores local representation,

1205
00:37:39,253 --> 00:37:40,721
gives the residents a direct

1206
00:37:40,721 --> 00:37:40,989
role in addressing the

1207
00:37:40,989 --> 00:37:42,223
district

1208
00:37:42,223 --> 00:37:44,191
s outstanding issues

1209
00:37:44,191 --> 00:37:46,930
and and ability to work on the

1210
00:37:46,930 --> 00:37:46,253
best long term plan. As you

1211
00:37:46,253 --> 00:37:46,861
ve

1212
00:37:46,861 --> 00:37:48,529
heard from Sherry

1213
00:37:48,529 --> 00:37:49,663
s report, um,

1214
00:37:49,663 --> 00:37:51,663
council has previously

1215
00:37:51,666 --> 00:37:52,967
considered other options for

1216
00:37:52,967 --> 00:37:54,635
the district, including a

1217
00:37:54,635 --> 00:37:56,137
potential merger with another

1218
00:37:56,137 --> 00:37:57,605
fire district. But rather than

1219
00:37:57,605 --> 00:37:58,940
us making that decision for

1220
00:37:58,940 --> 00:38:00,742
them, these appointments give

1221
00:38:00,742 --> 00:38:03,577
residents a more direct role in

1222
00:38:03,577 --> 00:38:05,790
determining what comes next. So

1223
00:38:05,790 --> 00:38:06,314
with that, I am pleased to

1224
00:38:06,314 --> 00:38:07,648
sponsor both appointments. But

1225
00:38:07,648 --> 00:38:10,451
the first one here before us

1226
00:38:10,451 --> 00:38:13,451
today is the appointment of,

1227
00:38:13,788 --> 00:38:15,489
um, MR. Anton Reagan. And he is

1228
00:38:15,489 --> 00:38:17,124
a lifelong resident of the Fire

1229
00:38:17,124 --> 00:38:18,526
District. He was not able to

1230
00:38:18,526 --> 00:38:20,228
join us today. So he has

1231
00:38:20,228 --> 00:38:21,629
submitted written comments,

1232
00:38:21,629 --> 00:38:22,997
responses to questions that we

1233
00:38:22,997 --> 00:38:23,564
provided ahead of time with

1234
00:38:23,564 --> 00:38:25,564
your office

1235
00:38:25,633 --> 00:38:27,301
s collaboration.

1236
00:38:27,301 --> 00:38:28,937
Um, those have been emailed and

1237
00:38:28,937 --> 00:38:31,339
a hard copy, I believe is at

1238
00:38:31,339 --> 00:38:32,874
your desk. Um, I think that

1239
00:38:32,874 --> 00:38:33,808
restoring a functional board is

1240
00:38:33,808 --> 00:38:36,440
going to be the best path

1241
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,445
forward. Gives residents a

1242
00:38:37,445 --> 00:38:39,580
voice in what happens in their

1243
00:38:39,580 --> 00:38:42,580
district going forward, and ask

1244
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,952
for your support. Um, again,

1245
00:38:44,952 --> 00:38:46,587
for both, I want to thank our

1246
00:38:46,587 --> 00:38:48,623
local and regional affairs

1247
00:38:48,623 --> 00:38:50,892
team, especially Tom Goff and

1248
00:38:50,892 --> 00:38:52,326
Tanya Medaka, for their work

1249
00:38:52,326 --> 00:38:54,610
with residents in this small

1250
00:38:54,610 --> 00:38:56,461
unincorporated area over many

1251
00:38:56,497 --> 00:38:57,665
years. Um, I also want to thank

1252
00:38:57,665 --> 00:38:59,734
Sherrie Hsu for providing

1253
00:38:59,734 --> 00:39:02,134
policy support. Kendall Morris

1254
00:39:02,269 --> 00:39:03,504
provided a fair number of or a

1255
00:39:03,504 --> 00:39:05,907
fair amount of legal guidance.

1256
00:39:05,907 --> 00:39:09,476
So thank you. Um, and a special

1257
00:39:09,476 --> 00:39:11,645

1258
00:39:11,645 --> 00:39:13,681
Cimarron Paddle, for leading

1259
00:39:13,681 --> 00:39:16,116
this effort. It is, um, been

1260
00:39:16,116 --> 00:39:17,819
complicated. So, with that

1261
00:39:17,819 --> 00:39:19,819
support, appointment number

1262
00:39:22,724 --> 00:39:25,293
one, which is, um, motion.

1263
00:39:25,293 --> 00:39:27,693

Sherry already gave us a

00:41:05,926 --> 00:41:06,193

1337
00:41:15,970 --> 00:41:17,271

your qualifications to be a

1339
00:41:18,406 --> 00:41:20,406
commissioner for Fire

1340
00:41:21,175 --> 00:41:23,430
Protection. District number 24.

1341
00:41:23,430 --> 00:41:25,880
Um, yes. Hi. Thank you for

1344
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:31,251
Councilmember Fain, uh, staff.

1345
00:41:31,251 --> 00:41:32,520
That

1346
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,254
s been amazing through

1347
00:41:34,254 --> 00:41:34,455
this whole process. Um, I

1348
00:41:34,455 --> 00:41:36,455
didn

1349
00:41:37,991 --> 00:41:39,694
t know such issues existed

1350
00:41:39,694 --> 00:41:40,694
when I moved into this, um,

1351
00:41:40,694 --> 00:41:43,940
beautiful piece of property

1352
00:41:43,196 --> 00:41:44,865
that we have. And, um, when I

1353
00:41:44,865 --> 00:41:46,633
first started getting all of

1354
00:41:46,633 --> 00:41:47,635
the letters, I was like, oh,

1355
00:41:47,635 --> 00:41:48,636
somebody else is going to take

1356
00:41:48,636 --> 00:41:49,700
care of this, you know, it

1357
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:49,236
s

1358
00:41:49,236 --> 00:41:49,670
it

1359
00:41:49,670 --> 00:41:50,437
s not can

1360
00:41:50,437 --> 00:41:50,838
t be me. Like, I

1361
00:41:50,838 --> 00:41:51,505
m

1362
00:41:51,505 --> 00:41:52,907
like, I

1363
00:41:52,907 --> 00:41:55,900
m not qualified to do

1364
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:56,343
any of this stuff and then

1365
00:41:56,343 --> 00:41:58,212
realize that we are in a very

1366
00:41:58,212 --> 00:41:58,379
small district and there really

1367
00:41:58,379 --> 00:41:59,580
isn

1368
00:41:59,580 --> 00:42:02,316
t a whole lot of other

1369
00:42:02,316 --> 00:42:02,950
options. And so when, um,

1370
00:42:02,950 --> 00:42:04,452
council member Fein

1371
00:42:04,452 --> 00:42:05,753
s uh, staff

1372
00:42:05,753 --> 00:42:06,120
reached out to me, finally

1373
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:06,820
answered, I

1374
00:42:06,820 --> 00:42:06,988
m like, what

1375
00:42:06,988 --> 00:42:07,187
s

1376
00:42:07,187 --> 00:42:08,122
what

1377
00:42:08,122 --> 00:42:09,757
s going on here? Like

1378
00:42:09,757 --> 00:42:13,193
what? What can I, you know, is

1379
00:42:13,193 --> 00:42:15,263
this a spam email or spam call?

1380
00:42:15,263 --> 00:42:16,731
Like, you know, you get all

1381
00:42:16,731 --> 00:42:19,731
these things like, yeah, sure,

1382
00:42:19,934 --> 00:42:22,770
sure, buddy. Um, but but you

1383
00:42:22,770 --> 00:42:25,139
know, realize Tom did a great

1384
00:42:25,139 --> 00:42:26,707
job of, uh, outlining what it

1385
00:42:26,707 --> 00:42:28,309
was that was in front of us and

1386
00:42:28,309 --> 00:42:29,710
what we needed to do. Um, the

1387
00:42:29,710 --> 00:42:31,345
whole staff has been great. And

1388
00:42:31,345 --> 00:42:32,547
and bringing this to my

1389
00:42:32,547 --> 00:42:32,880
attention and knowing that it

1390
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,880
s

1391
00:42:37,285 --> 00:42:39,720
not a spam issue. And, um, so

1392
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:41,755
who am I? Uh, James Hoff? I

1393
00:42:41,755 --> 00:42:43,424
grew up here. Uh, I grew up,

1394
00:42:43,424 --> 00:42:46,560
born in Seattle, grew up on the

1395
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,263
East side. Um, moved out to

1396
00:42:49,263 --> 00:42:51,698
Enumclaw, uh, quickly started a

1397
00:42:51,698 --> 00:42:53,501
company back in 2000. We moved

1398
00:42:53,501 --> 00:42:54,435
to Kent, and, um, I

1399
00:42:54,435 --> 00:42:56,435
ve been

1400
00:42:57,138 --> 00:42:59,140
running a trade show exhibit,

1401
00:42:59,140 --> 00:43:00,274
uh, company for the last 25

1402
00:43:00,274 --> 00:43:01,942
years. Uh, we

1403
00:43:01,942 --> 00:43:04,342
ve kind of. We

1404
00:43:04,411 --> 00:43:05,646
started this company in 2000,

1405
00:43:05,646 --> 00:43:08,150
quickly had to deal with that

1406
00:43:08,150 --> 00:43:09,617
11 and being a live events

1407
00:43:09,617 --> 00:43:12,186
company, that was an easy, uh,

1408
00:43:12,186 --> 00:43:13,787
then, you know, 2007, 2010

1409
00:43:13,787 --> 00:43:15,489
happened and we had to navigate

1410
00:43:15,489 --> 00:43:17,558
the whole economic downturn.

1411
00:43:17,558 --> 00:43:19,627
Um, and then Covid was the

1412
00:43:19,627 --> 00:43:21,496
real, um, one that really threw

1413
00:43:21,496 --> 00:43:22,163
us for a loop. So, um, I

1414
00:43:22,163 --> 00:43:23,631
ve

1415
00:43:23,631 --> 00:43:25,333
been able to navigate a live

1416
00:43:25,333 --> 00:43:26,867
event company through the ups

1417
00:43:26,867 --> 00:43:30,400
and downs of the economy over

1418
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,205
the years. Um, I think outside

1419
00:43:31,205 --> 00:43:32,606
of that, I don

1420
00:43:32,606 --> 00:43:34,700
t really have

1421
00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:36,100
qualifications to be a fire

1422
00:43:36,100 --> 00:43:37,778
commissioner, but I would look

1423
00:43:37,778 --> 00:43:38,780
at this as as I do any other

1424
00:43:38,780 --> 00:43:39,380
project that that

1425
00:43:39,380 --> 00:43:41,181
s in front of

1426
00:43:41,181 --> 00:43:44,151
me and kind of get the facts

1427
00:43:44,151 --> 00:43:46,254
and get the, uh, what what

1428
00:43:46,254 --> 00:43:49,190
options we do have and, um,

1429
00:43:49,190 --> 00:43:51,358
kind of work alongside Tony to,

1430
00:43:51,358 --> 00:43:55,558
um, figure out what is the best

1431
00:43:56,630 --> 00:43:58,332
course for us. Um, so as far as

1432
00:43:58,332 --> 00:44:00,134
qualifications for a business,

1433
00:44:00,134 --> 00:44:00,288
I live in the district. Um, and

1434
00:44:00,288 --> 00:44:02,288
I

1435
00:44:02,503 --> 00:44:04,839
m willing and able to, um, to

1436
00:44:04,839 --> 00:44:06,707
help out and do what I can, um,

1437
00:44:06,707 --> 00:44:08,109
for you all. And and the people

1438
00:44:08,109 --> 00:44:10,109
in our district.

1439
00:44:10,411 --> 00:44:11,712
Thank you very much, MR.

1440
00:44:11,712 --> 00:44:14,712
Councilmember Fain. Do you want

1441
00:44:15,830 --> 00:44:16,450
to ask further questions?

1442
00:44:16,450 --> 00:44:18,786
Sure. Thank you so much. I

1443
00:44:18,786 --> 00:44:20,187
would say that, um, you are

1444
00:44:20,187 --> 00:44:22,587
qualified as an engaged

1445
00:44:23,891 --> 00:44:25,759
resident. Um, and you own a

1446
00:44:25,759 --> 00:44:28,429
business and and employ folks

1447
00:44:28,429 --> 00:44:30,531
here in Kent, in our district.

1448
00:44:30,531 --> 00:44:32,233
And thank you for being willing

1449
00:44:32,233 --> 00:44:33,468
to serve and for hosting us

1450
00:44:33,468 --> 00:44:35,636
several times, both at your

1451
00:44:35,636 --> 00:44:37,710
home and your business, um, in

1452
00:44:37,710 --> 00:44:38,172
meetings so that we could meet

1453
00:44:38,172 --> 00:44:38,772
with you and other community

1454
00:44:38,772 --> 00:44:39,774
members. It

1455
00:44:39,774 --> 00:44:42,174
s been very helpful

1456
00:44:43,945 --> 00:44:46,781
to have you there. So you are

1457
00:44:46,781 --> 00:44:48,282
qualified. Um, if appointed,

1458
00:44:48,282 --> 00:44:50,551
would what do you believe is

1459
00:44:50,551 --> 00:44:52,520
the best long term path for

1460
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,920
Fire District 24 and the

1461
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:56,857
residents it serves?

1462
00:44:56,857 --> 00:44:58,590
Uh, well over the last seven

1463
00:44:58,590 --> 00:44:58,793
months? Uh, it

1464
00:44:58,793 --> 00:44:59,894
s we

1465
00:44:59,894 --> 00:45:01,194
ve went

1466
00:45:01,194 --> 00:45:03,594
around and around about

1467
00:45:04,980 --> 00:45:04,298
different options and, um,

1468
00:45:04,298 --> 00:45:05,900
what

1469
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:08,402
s seems to be the most

1470
00:45:08,402 --> 00:45:10,704
likely option is merging with

1471
00:45:10,704 --> 00:45:13,774
37. Uh, Tony and I both kind of

1472
00:45:13,774 --> 00:45:14,800
agree with this. Um, direction.

1473
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:15,420
I don

1474
00:45:15,420 --> 00:45:15,242
t honestly think that

1475
00:45:15,242 --> 00:45:16,770
there

1476
00:45:16,770 --> 00:45:17,311
s any other viable

1477
00:45:17,311 --> 00:45:18,812
option. There are other options

1478
00:45:18,812 --> 00:45:19,913
out there, but I think that

1479
00:45:19,913 --> 00:45:21,349
this is the best for our

1480
00:45:21,349 --> 00:45:23,349
district.

1481
00:45:24,218 --> 00:45:27,154
Thank you, and chair, for

1482
00:45:27,154 --> 00:45:29,554
context, uh, Fire District 37

1483
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:31,492
sits, um, to the west, east.

1484
00:45:31,492 --> 00:45:33,261
Uh, it

1485
00:45:33,261 --> 00:45:34,395
s right next door, so it

1486
00:45:34,395 --> 00:45:36,897
would not have to provide its

1487
00:45:36,897 --> 00:45:38,332
own services and fire district.

1488
00:45:38,332 --> 00:45:41,932
The other option really is Fire

1489
00:45:42,403 --> 00:45:44,472
District 24 would contract with

1490
00:45:44,472 --> 00:45:46,872
Fire District 37 for services.

1491
00:45:47,641 --> 00:45:49,577
So, um, it makes sense for a

1492
00:45:49,577 --> 00:45:51,612
merger to be the most efficient

1493
00:45:51,612 --> 00:45:52,146
way. And then the fire district

1494
00:45:52,146 --> 00:45:53,313
24 wouldn

1495
00:45:53,313 --> 00:45:54,649
t have to maintain a

1496
00:45:54,649 --> 00:45:56,784
board of commissioners and

1497
00:45:56,784 --> 00:45:59,253
maintain all of its, um,

1498
00:45:59,253 --> 00:46:01,589
structure going forward. Uh,

1499
00:46:01,589 --> 00:46:03,124
just for context, thank you.

1500
00:46:03,124 --> 00:46:04,558
Thank you very much.

1501
00:46:04,558 --> 00:46:05,793
Councilmember Fain. Are there

1502
00:46:05,793 --> 00:46:07,600
any further questions or

1503
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:07,494
comments from colleagues?

1504
00:46:07,494 --> 00:46:08,228
And a quick.

1505
00:46:08,228 --> 00:46:09,960
Comment, COUNCILMAN.

1506
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:10,531
Just wanted to thank you for

1507
00:46:10,531 --> 00:46:10,864
your willingness to serve. I

1508
00:46:10,864 --> 00:46:11,866
think you

1509
00:46:11,866 --> 00:46:13,234
re eminently

1510
00:46:13,234 --> 00:46:14,167
qualified and you do great in

1511
00:46:14,167 --> 00:46:14,601
politics, except you

1512
00:46:14,601 --> 00:46:16,601
re too

1513
00:46:17,471 --> 00:46:18,839
modest.

1514
00:46:18,839 --> 00:46:20,508
Thank you, Councilmember

1515
00:46:20,508 --> 00:46:21,708
basket. Agree. Uh, colleagues,

1516
00:46:21,708 --> 00:46:23,770
we normally ask the candidate

1517
00:46:23,770 --> 00:46:23,310

note that we have Nick Bowman

1611
00:48:45,319 --> 00:48:46,520

1613
00:48:48,422 --> 00:48:49,723
a briefing if needed. There is

1614
00:48:49,723 --> 00:48:50,791
an amendment to this

1615
00:48:50,791 --> 00:48:52,560
legislation, which is I think

1616
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:53,694
we pulled it out of consent.

1617
00:48:53,694 --> 00:48:55,263
Uh, do my colleagues have any

1618
00:48:55,263 --> 00:48:56,497
opening comments or questions

1619
00:48:56,497 --> 00:48:56,997
for discussion?

1620
00:48:56,997 --> 00:48:58,980
I would just.

1621
00:48:58,980 --> 00:48:59,667
Say.

1622
00:48:59,667 --> 00:49:00,902
Before the council, and I do

1623
00:49:00,902 --> 00:49:02,350
pass the recommendation out of

1624
00:49:02,350 --> 00:49:03,304
the Budget and management

1625
00:49:03,304 --> 00:49:05,600
committee. There was a

1626
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:05,872
technical error with regard to

1627
00:49:05,872 --> 00:49:06,407
the attachment. So we

1628
00:49:06,407 --> 00:49:07,341
re merely

1629
00:49:07,341 --> 00:49:08,775
bringing it off to get the

1630
00:49:08,775 --> 00:49:08,976
correct attachment on there.

1631
00:49:08,976 --> 00:49:10,440
That

1632
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:11,778
s correct. Yep.

1633
00:49:11,778 --> 00:49:13,414
Thank you very much, Nick.

1634
00:49:13,414 --> 00:49:14,114
Anything, any anything else

1635
00:49:14,114 --> 00:49:15,820
that we should know?

1636
00:49:15,820 --> 00:49:15,949
No, I would just if you would

1637
00:49:15,949 --> 00:49:17,451
like me to brief the amendment,

1638
00:49:17,451 --> 00:49:19,530
I can do so quickly. But the

1639
00:49:19,530 --> 00:49:19,787
council member just described

1640
00:49:19,787 --> 00:49:20,254
it perfectly. It

1641
00:49:20,254 --> 00:49:21,121
s just a

1642
00:49:21,121 --> 00:49:21,823
simple error with the

1643
00:49:21,823 --> 00:49:21,989
attachment, and we

1644
00:49:21,989 --> 00:49:22,857
re

1645
00:49:22,857 --> 00:49:24,258
correcting that error.

1646
00:49:24,258 --> 00:49:25,459
Great. Thank you. Seeing no

1647
00:49:25,459 --> 00:49:25,726
