I AM ON\nMEDICATION , PARTICIPATING IN\nTHERAPY. I AM ON THE OTHER SIDE\nOF IT. WHY AM I APPLYING FOR THE\nRENTERS COMMISSION? PEOPLE WHO\nARE OFTEN UNHEARD FOR VARIOUS\nREASONS BECAUSE OF THE STRUGGLES\nOR BECAUSE THEY PERCEIVE\nTHEMSELVES NOT CAPABLE BECAUSE\nOF THE STRUGGLES.

I ENTERED\nHOMELESSNESS UNTIL I SAVED UP\nENOUGH MONEY TO MOVE INTO AN\nAPARTMENT. IT WAS AN AFFORDABLE\nMICRO STUDIO . I CAN SAY WITHOUT\nA DOUBT THAT THE MICRO STUDIO\nEVEN THOUGH IT WAS 190 SQUARE\nFEET, SAVED MY LIFE. I AM EAGER\nTO WORK WITH YOU ALL AND\nIDENTIFY SOLUTIONS TO LIFT MORE\nPEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY THROUGH\nHOUSING. MORE PEOPLE IN SEATTLE\nRENT THEN OWN A HOME.

I\nWANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ALL\nSINGLE MOMS THAT ARE WORKING\nREALLY HARD TO STAY IN HOUSING.\nWE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED FROM\nSEATTLE FROM WHEN I WAS A YOUNG\nPERSON AS THE CENTRAL DISTRICT\nWITH GENTRIFICATION AND NOW\nBECAUSE THE RENT ARE TOO HIGH. I\nAM HERE TO PASS THE MIC QUITE\nLITERALLY TO OTHER TENANTS WHO\nMAY NOT HAVE A SEAT AT THIS\nTABLE.\nGOOD MORNING . MY NAME IS E.\nMANDISA SUBIRA. PART OF THE\nREASON WHY I AM SO EXCITED TO BE\nPART OF THE COMMISSION AND WAS\nEXCITED WHEN I WAS APPOINTED A\nYEAR AND A HALF AGO AND HAVE\nBASICALLY HAD TO JUST SIT IN\nMEETINGS AND NOT BE ABLE TO\nPARTICIPATE, NOT BE ABLE TO\nBRING MY SKILLS TO THE TABLE,\nNOT BE ABLE TO BRING MY WISDOM\nTO THE TABLE. AS A FILMMAKER AND\nSTORYTELLER NOT BEING ABLE TO\nTELL THE STORIES OF THE RENTERS\nIN OUR CITY . I LOOK AT THINGS\nAS A COMPLETE WHOLE PERSPECTIVE.\nI KNOW AND UNDERSTAND . I FIND\nIT QUITE DISINGENUOUS THAT WE\nHAVE A STADIUM COLD CLIMATE\nPLEDGE ARENA BUT THERE'S NO\nCOMMITMENT TO BUILDING\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH SAFE AND\nSUSTAINABLE EQUIPMENT AND\nBUILDING MATERIALS SO THAT\nPEOPLE DO NOT GET SICK IN THESE\nBUILDINGS AND THEN THEY BECOME A\nBURDEN ON OUR MEDICAID SYSTEM.\nTHERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT\nNEED TO BE CONSIDERED . NOT JUST\nTHE RENTER, BUT LOOKING AT THEM\nAS A HOLISTIC PERSON IN A\nHOLISTIC ENVIRONMENT . I ALSO\nHAVE PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE I USED\nTO BE A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT\nPERSON IN COMPTON, CALIFORNIA.\nI'VE BEEN AN ACTIVIST ALL\nAROUND THE COUNTRY. I FEEL THAT\nANY PLACE THAT HAS THE AUDACITY\nTO NAME THEM -- THEMSELVES AFTER\nMARTIN KING -- MARTIN LUTHER\nKING JR. COUNTY THEY SHOULD BE\nFOCUSED ON VISION. THE ONLY WAY\nYOU CAN BUILD A VISION IS WITH\nCOMMUNITY WORKING TOGETHER WITH\nTHE POLITICIANS WHO I FEEL THAT\nWE HAVE A LOT OF TREASURES AND\nWE HAVE A LOT OF WONDERFUL\nCOMMUNITY MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY\nRESOURCES WE COULD BE TAPPING\nINTO. FOR THE POLITICIANS, NOT\nNECESSARILY UNDERSTANDING THAT\nWE ARE HERE TO HELP AND WE WANT\nTO BUILD COMMUNITY AND WE WANT\nTO BUILD A VISION THAT IS WORTHY\nOF THE REASON THAT WE BUILT THE\nSPACE NEEDLE IN THE FIRST PLACE\nIS TO BE A BEACON AND AN EXAMPLE\nFOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.\nCAN WE MOVE TO ONLINE? SALLY.\nI AM SALLY KINNEY . THIS WILL\nBE MY FIRST TENURE WITH THE\nSEATTLE RENTERS COMMISSION. AS\nBACKGROUND, I GREW UP IN\nCALIFORNIA. QUITE A LONG YEARS\nAGO IN AN AREA OF MONTEREY\nCOUNTY THAT WAS THE GROWING\nCAPITOL OF THE COUNTRY. IT WAS\nALSO AT THAT TIME HOME TO PEOPLE\nFROM MEXICO AND FURTHER SOUTH\nWHO LIVED IN SALINAS AND WORKED\nTHE FIELDS . I WENT TO SCHOOL\nWITH THEIR CHILDREN . I SAW THE\nLIVING CONDITIONS THERE. THIS\nWAS BEFORE CESAR CHAVEZ, BEFORE\nANY CONCERN OF THE GREATER\nCOMMUNITY ABOUT THE LIVING\nSITUATIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WORK TO\nHELP US GET OUR FOOD . THEY\nLIVED IN SHACKS OUT IN THE\nFIELDS RUN BY THE GROWERS . NO\nELECTRICITY, NO PLUMBING .\nCHILDREN WERE OFTEN SICK. WHEN I\nWAS VERY YOUNG I HAD GROWN UP IN\nAN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE'S\nLIVING SITUATIONS WERE REALLY\nPRETTY BAD EXCEPT FOR THOSE OF\nUS WHO DID NOT HAVE TO WORK IN\nTHE FIELDS AND HAD OFFICE JOBS\nOR OUR PARENTS HAD OFFICE JOBS.\nTHEY WERE ALSO PEOPLE WHO HAD\nCOME, FAMILIES WHO HAD COME FROM\nARKANSAS AND OKLAHOMA. THEY\nLIVED IN SHACKS RIGHT ON THE\nSALINAS RIVER AND WERE FLOODED\nJUST ABOUT EVERY YEAR. THEN I\nMOVED TO SACRAMENTO AND STARTED\nWORKING FULL-TIME AFTER HIGH\nSCHOOL . NO MONEY FOR COLLEGE\nBECAUSE OF OUR FAMILIES DIVORCE\nSITUATION. THEN I MOVED TO\nSEATTLE. MY FIRST CHILD WAS\nDIAGNOSED AS AUTISTIC AND HAD\nOTHER MEDICAL SITUATIONS. SO I\nHAVE BEEN HER ADVOCATE SINCE SHE\nWAS BORN AND WORRIED ABOUT\nHOUSING FOR HER WHEN SHE GOT\nOLDER. SHE IS LIKELY NOW IN A\nGOOD HOUSING SITUATION. A\nWONDERFUL ORGANIZATION .\nHOWEVER, MANY PEOPLE IN HER\nSITUATION ARE NOT LIVING IN A\nGOOD SITUATION. THEY ARE STILL\nIN THE CARE OF THEIR AGING\nPARENTS WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT\nWHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THEIR\nCHILDREN WHEN THEY GO. I HAVE\nBEEN WORKING FOR THE LAST 20\nYEARS WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT\nARE CONCERNED WITH HOMELESSNESS\nBECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN MY FOCUS.\nTHAT IS THE ENDPOINT OF NOT\nHAVING A PLACE TO LIVE IS\nLITERALLY ON THE STREETS. I LIVE\nIN LAKE CITY IN DISTRICT 5 . I\nHAVE BEEN A FOUNDING MEMBER OF\nTHE LAKE CITY TASK FORCE ON\nHOMELESSNESS ALMOST 20 YEARS\nAGO. I'M A FORMER BOARD MEMBER\nOF THE SEATTLE KING COUNTY\nCOALITION ON HOMELESSNESS AND\nOTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND I'M\nCURRENTLY ON THE BOARD OF CAMP\nUNITED WE STAND. AND AUTHORIZED\nENCAMPMENT BETWEEN SEATTLE AND\nTHE NORTH KING COUNTY AREA. WE\nDO NOT HAVE ANY SUPPORT FROM\nPOLITICAL ENTITIES. NO GRANT\nMONEY AND NONE OF THE\nMUNICIPALITIES THAT WE MOVE\nAROUND TO FUND US. SO WE ARE\nBASICALLY THE ORGANIZERS AND\nFIDUCIARIES AND EVERYTHING FOR\nOUR CAMP. I SEE PEOPLE COME INTO\nTHE CAMP FROM ALL SORTS OF\nBACKGROUNDS WHO HAVE FALLEN INTO\nHOMELESSNESS AND ARE TRYING VERY\nHARD TO GET OUT. I AM VERY\nCONCERNED BECAUSE WE ARE NOT\nGOING TO HAVE ANY HELP FROM THE\nFEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WE\nESSENTIALLY ARE IT . THE CITY\nTHE STATE AND OTHER\nMUNICIPALITIES IN WASHINGTON\nSTATE ARE UNDER THE GUN BOTH FOR\nPROVIDING RESOURCES AT A TIME\nWHEN THEIR BUDGETS ARE REALLY\nSTRANGE. I WANT TO WORK WITH THE\nCOMMISSION TO TRY, IN SEATTLE AT\nLEAST TRY TO KEEP PEOPLE HOUSED,\nKEEP RENTERS HOUSED BECAUSE\nRENTERS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE IN\nDANGER AND TO BRING THE CITY TO\nRECOGNIZE THAT THAT MAY BE THE\nMOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO\nHERE NOW IS TO KEEP PEOPLE\nHOUSED, KEEP THEM OFF THE STREET\nAND MAKE IT EASIER FOR RENTERS\nTO CONTINUE BEING RENTERS .\nTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US\nTODAY. I AM REALLY EAGER TO WORK\nWITH THE COMMISSION ON THIS SAD\nSITUATION.\nTHANK YOU, SALLY. KATE.\nGOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. MY\nNAME IS KATE RUBIN. I'M ONE OF\nTHE INTERIM COCHAIRS OF THE\nSEATTLE RENTERS COMMISSION. I'M\nONE OF FIVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN\nHOLDING THE COMMISSION DOWN OVER\nTHE LAST 18 MONTHS. I'M ALSO\nSOMEBODY WHO WORKS WITH RENTERS\nIN MY DAILY WORK AT THE SEATTLE\nWE DO RENTER EDUCATION AND\nORGANIZING AND EMPOWER RENTERS\nTO GET MORE CYNICALLY INVOLVED\nBECAUSE WE ARE BEING\nSYSTEMICALLY SHUT OUT OF CITY\nHALL WHICH FEELS LIKE SUCH A\nPERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT, OF HOW\nOUR VOICES REALLY DO NOT MATTER\nTO THOSE IN POWER . I LIVE IN\nDISTRICT 2. I AM A VOTER AND\nACTIVELY ENGAGED IN SEEING MY\nCOUNCILMEMBER YET AGAIN , BEING\nDISRESPECTED AND SHUT OUT AND\nNOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE\nTHINGS FORWARD IN A VERY\nINTENTIONAL WAY. I AM FEELING\nVERY -- I AM ANGRY ABOUT ALL OF\nTHIS. -- I DO FEEL AN OBLIGATION\nTO SEATTLE RENTERS TO HOLD IT\nDOWN . I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD\nTO HAVING A FULLY SEATED\nCOMMISSION WHERE WE COULD TRY TO\nMOVE POLICY . THE TEAM HAD\nSIMILAR BACKGROUNDS AND LIFE\nEXPERIENCES . IT TAKES A DIVERSE\nGROUP OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE,\nDIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES,\nDIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND\nNEIGHBORHOODS TO REALLY\nREPRESENT THE SPECTRUM OF\nRENTERS. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS NOT\nGOING TO HAPPEN TODAY. MIGHT NOT\nHAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THIS\nIS REALLY HARD . WE ARE FUNDED\nBY THE CITY OF SEATTLE . NOT\nJUST FROM MY JOB BUT ACROSS THE\nBOARD, 40%. RENTERS ARE REALLY\nSTRUGGLING . I'M DOING OKAY NOW\nBECAUSE I AM EMPLOYED BUT I HAVE\nTO LOOK AS GO LIVE WITH A\nROOMMATE. WE WOULD BE IN DIRE\nSTRAITS IF WE LOST OUR JOBS. MY\nFAMILY IS GOING THROUGH A LOT OF\nTURMOIL . MY YOUNGER BROTHER HAD\nTO MOVE IN WITH MY AGING PARENTS\nAFTER A SERIES OF DISASTERS AND\nPROBABLY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO\nMOVE OUT ANYTIME SOON . IT IS\nREALLY SCARY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT\nTHE FUTURE HOLDS ESPECIALLY WITH\nALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE\nHAPPENING AT A NATIONAL LEVEL.\nTHEY ARE ATTACKING OUR TRANS\nNEIGHBORS AND IMMIGRANT AND\nREFUGEE NEIGHBORS. ANYONE WHO\nMIGHT BE DIFFERENT OR MIGHT BE\nAN EASY TARGET. THANK YOU FOR\nINVITING ME TO THIS TABLE TODAY.\nI WISH IT WERE UNDER BETTER\nCIRCUMSTANCES.\nLYDIA. AFTER LYDIA, LAUREN\nYOU SAID WE HAVE SOME FOLKS THAT\nARE NOT ABLE TO JOIN US THAT YOU\nWANT TO SPEAK ABOUT. IN THE\nINTEREST OF TIME I KNOW THAT WE\nHAVE SOMEONE WHO HAS SOMETHING\nTO PRESENT WHO DOES HAVE A HARD\nSTOP. WE WANT TO BE SURE WE GET\nTO THAT . IF WE COULD JUST TAKE\nA COUPLE MOMENTS TO TELL US\nABOUT YOU AND YOUR INTEREST IN\nBEING ON THE COMMISSION. THEN WE\nWILL MOVE ON TO THE INFORMATION\nABOUT THOSE WHO ARE NOT HERE.\nI AM LYDIA FELTY. I USE\nSHE/HER PRONOUNS . I'M THE\nCURRENT COCHAIR. I LIVE IN\nDISTRICT 3 AND A LIFELONG\nRENTER. I WORK IN THE NONPROFIT\nSECTOR. BEFORE THAT I WAS A\nTEACHER. WORKING WITH FOLKS FROM\nDIFFERENT PLACES AND AGE GROUPS\nAND CIRCUMSTANCES. I'VE BEEN ON\nTHE RENTERS COMMISSION FOR ABOUT\nTWO YEARS. I AM A STANDARD\nMAYORAL EMPLOYED T -- APPOINTEE.\nONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO\nMENTION TODAY IS KATE AND I HAVE\nBEEN INTERIM COCHAIRS FOR A YEAR\nNOW. WHEN THE PAST COCHAIRS,\nWHEN THEIR TENURE ENDED, WE WERE\nDECIDING ON NEW COCHAIRS BUT\nTHERE WERE ONLY FIVE OF US AND\nSEVERAL PENDING SO IT DID NOT\nFEEL RIGHT FOR US TO ELECT OUT\nOF SUCH A SMALL GROUP WHO WOULD\nBE THE COCHAIRS BEFORE THESE\nPENDING COMMISSIONERS WERE ABLE\nTO FILL IN THOSE ROLES. SO WE\nJUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO\nCELEBRATED OUR ONE YEAR\nANNIVERSARY OF BEING COCHAIRS\nWITH THE SAME FIVE COMMISSIONERS\nON BOARD AND THE NOTE THAT ONE\nIS MOVING FOR GRAD SCHOOL SOON\nSO WE ARE ABOUT TO BE DOWN TO\nFOUR. WE HAVE HAD -- I CHECKED\nTHE RECORD. WE RECOMMENDED IFOR\nAPPOINTMENT IN NOVEMBER 2023. MY\nCOLLEAGUES AND HOPEFUL\nCOLLEAGUES HAVE SHARED SO MANY\nSALIENT POINTS. I ECHO EVERY BIT\nOF ANGER AND FRUSTRATION AND\nPASSION. I KNOW THAT WE ARE\nSHORT ON TIME BUT AS WE COME UP\nON THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY TWO\nLETTERS THAT WERE SENT TO CITY\nCOUNCIL, I WANTED TO READ A\nCOUPLE NOTES FROM IT. THIS WAS\nSENT AUGUST 4, 2024. WE ARE\nWRITING TO DEMAND IMMEDIATE\nACTION REGARDING THE\nLONG-OVERDUE APPOINTMENTS TO THE\nSEATTLE RENTERS COMMISSION.\nDESPITE OUR REQUEST SINCE THE\nBEGINNING OF THE YEAR, THE\nCOMMITTEE CHAIR HAS YET TO\nREVIEW COMMISSIONER APPOINTMENTS\nAND ADD IT TO AGENDAS. THIS IS\nUNACCEPTABLE AND UNDERMINES THE\nREPRESENTATION OF MORE THAN HALF\nTHE SEATTLE POPULATION. WE HAVE\nONLY SIX COMMISSIONERS OF THE\nMANDATED 16. THE LACK OF BLACK\nCOMMISSIONERS IS ESPECIALLY\nCONCERNING GIVING SEATTLE'S\nHISTORY OF GENTRIFICATION. THE\nCURRENT COMPOSITION FAILS TO\nREFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF OUR\nCITY . I WILL EDITORIALIZE FOR A\nMOMENT TO ADD THE CURRENT\nCLIMATE STATE AND TRULY NATIONAL\nSTATE OF EMERGENCY WE ARE IN AND\nHOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANT ALL OF\nTHESE THINGS , OUR WORK IS AND\nPUTTING POLICIES IN PLACE\nBECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE\nMORE RENTERS COMING. OUR ROLE\nINCLUDES ISSUES ON POLICIES FOR\nRENTERS SUCH AS HOUSING\nAFFORDABILITY , ECONOMIC\nDEVELOPMENT. THE COUNCIL OF\nBLACK ENGAGEMENT SHOWS A\nMISGUIDED VIEW THAT IT CAN BE\nIGNORED RATHER THAN A VALUABLE\nCOLLABORATOR FOR THE COMMUNITY.\nTHIS IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE\nGOVERNMENT OF OUR CITY. THE\nHOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES\nCOMMITTEE MUST PRIORITIZE THE\nCOMMITMENT OF NEW COMMISSIONERS\nIMMEDIATELY. THE ONGOING NEGLECT\nNOT ONLY HAMPERS OUR WORK BUT\nALSO INSULTS THE COMMUNITIES WE\nAIM TO SERVE. I WILL JUST CLOSE\nWITH A THANK YOU FOR THE\nGRATITUDE THAT WE ARE ALL HERE.\nWE WERE FINALLY PUT ON THE\nAGENDA. I THINK THAT IS\nNOTEWORTHY . JUST AGAIN ECHOING\nTHE DISAPPOINTMENT, ANGER,\nFRUSTRATION AND PARTICULARLY FOR\nME THINKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO\nI'M SURE TOOK TIME OFF WORK AND\nARE PHYSICALLY AT CITY HALL IN\nPERSON ON WEDNESDAY MORNING ONLY\nTO HAVE THE MEETING DELAYED,\nDELAYED, AND CANCELED AND NOW\nBACK INTO THIS LIMBO OF NOT\nKNOWING WHEN OR WHETHER\nAPPOINTMENTS WILL BE MADE. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nLAURA: LAURA.\nI JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU: I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU\nTO ALL OF THE POTENTIAL\nAPPOINTEES THAT ARE HERE IN\nPERSON, ONLINE. THANK YOU FOR\nSHARING YOUR STORIES AND BEING\nHERE. I WILL JUST READ THROUGH.\nTHERE ARE SIX REMAINING\nAPPOINTEES. I WILL JUST READ OUT\nTHEIR BIOS AND NAME THEM. JUST\nLET ME KNOW AT ANY POINT IF YOU\nNEED TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT\nPORTION. I AM LAURA JENKINS THE\nSTAFF LIAISON FOR THE RENTERS\nCOMMISSION. I WORK IN THE\nDEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS.\nFIRST, WE HAVE ADORA BLUE. A\nRENTER LIVING IN PINEHURST.\nRAISED IN A WEALTHY NEIGHBORHOOD\nAND SO, AND MOVED TO SEATTLE\nWHERE SHE EXPERIENCED RENTING IN\nA LARGE VARIETY OF AREAS AND\nARRANGEMENTS. SHE BECAME\nINVOLVED IN HOUSING ACTIVISM IN\n2020 AND INSPIRED THE COVID-19\nMUTUAL AID EFFORTS. EVENTUALLY\nJOINED THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT\nB SEATTLE A LOCAL NONPROFIT.\nMORE RECENTLY SHE STARTED\nMULTIPLE RENT -- EFFORTS TO HELP\nTRANS PEOPLE FLEEING FROM\nPERSECUTION IN OTHER STATES WHEN\nTHEY MOVED TO WASHINGTON AND\nSPECIFICALLY SEATTLE. LEADING TO\nCREATING A CATCH NETWORK FOR\nTEMPORARY HOUSING TO RELOCATE\nTRANS-FOLKS WHO OFTEN WOULD\nOTHERWISE END UP UNANNOUNCED.\nTRANS PEOPLE ARE AND ESPECIALLY\nHOUSING INSECURE POPULATION DUE\nTO THE PREVALENCE OF LOSING\nACCESS TO FAMILY HOMES AND THE\nFAMILY SUPPORT THAT WOULD ALLOW\nFOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT. IT'S\nALSO THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE THAT\nMAKES SEATTLE A HARD PLACE TO\nMOVE TO FOR DISADVANTAGED\nPEOPLE. SHE WANTS TO REDUCE\nBARRIERS AND MAKE SEATTLE NOT\nJUST SAFE BUT ALSO ACCESSIBLE\nFOR TRANS PEOPLE, DISABLED\nPEOPLE AND PEOPLE BEING FORCED\nTO LEAVE THEIR HOMES DUE TO\nREGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT. NEXT UP\nIS KASEY BURTON. CASEY IS AN\nEXPERIENCED LANDLORD-TENANT LAW\nATTORNEY WOULD LIKE TO\nCONTRIBUTE LEGAL SKILLS AND\nSHAPE POLICIES TO ASSURE TENANTS\nRIGHTS AND ENSURE FAIR\nPRACTICES. SHE CAN ADVOCATE FOR\nSTRONGER LEGAL PROTECTIONS, HELP\nIDENTIFY GAPS IN CURRENT LAWS\nAND OFFER EXPERT LEGAL INSIGHT\nON ISSUES LIKE EVICTION\nPREVENTION AND OTHER STANDARDS.\nJOINING THE COMMISSION ALSO\nPROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO\nCOLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITY\nLEADERS, STAKEHOLDERS AND OTHER\nPROFESSIONALS TO CREATE MORE\nEQUITABLE HOUSING ENVIRONMENT\nFOR RENTERS. NEXT IS ANGELA\nO'BRIEN. RAISED IN SEATTLE AND\nPASSIONATE ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE\nDRIVEN BY A DEEP BELIEF IN\nFAIRNESS AND EQUALITY. WITH A\nBACKGROUND IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING\nAND GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING SHE\nBRINGS THE UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE TO\nSOCIAL JUSTICE BY ADVOCATING AND\nEDUCATING. HER COMMITMENT TO\nPOSITIVE CHANGES DEMONSTRATED\nTHROUGH ORGANIZING COMMUNITY\nOUTREACH PROGRAMS AND\nINFLUENCING POLICY CHANGE. AS A\nCASE MANAGER FOR GOODWILL\nDEDICATED TO FUTURE GOALS,\nCREATING A MORE JUST AND\nEQUITABLE WORLD FOR ALL. KAREN\nTAYLOR IS A DISABLED RENTER IN\nTHE BEACON HILL AREA. LIVING ON\nA FIXED INCOME FROM SSDI AND HER\n20 YEARS AS A RENTER HAS DEALT\nWITH VARIOUS ISSUES SUCH AS LACK\nOF ACCESSIBLE UNITS, HAVING TO\nSPEND 70% OF INCOME ON RENT AND\nTHE CONSTANT NEED TO FIND NEW\nROOMMATES TO AFFORD A PLACE TO\nLIVE. SHE RENTS FROM A SMALL\nLANDLORD AND IS PASSIONATE ABOUT\nRENTER PROTECTIONS INCLUDING\nRENTERS RENT FROM LANDLORD TO\nMANAGE ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF\nPROPERTIES AND EXTENDING TO SUB\nLETTERS. AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE\nTRANSIT WRITERS UNION . SHE\nIMAGINES A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE\nWHO NEEDS THEM HAS ACCESSIBLE\nUNITS AND CAN LIVE ON THEIR OWN\nIF THEY SO CHOOSE. SAMUEL\nWOLFSON HAS LIVED IN SEATTLE HIS\nENTIRE LIFE AND SAW FIRSTHAND\nTHE EXPLOSION OF GROWTH THAT\nCAME WITH THE NEWFOUND POSITION\nAS A HUB FOR TECHNOLOGY. AS\nSOMEONE WHO LOVES SEATTLE AND\nWANTS TO SEE IT THRIVE HE\nUNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF\nMAKING HOUSING AFFORDABLE,\nWELCOMING AND PLENTIFUL FOR THE\nINCREASINGLY LARGE NUMBER OF\nPEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE HERE.\nLAST UP WE HAVE ANDREW , A\nDEDICATED ADVOCATE FOR EQUITY,\nPUBLIC HEALTH, AND HOUSING\nJUSTICE WITH DEEP ROOTS IN\nSEATTLE'S COMMUNITY, ORGANIZING\nAND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. AS A\nRENTER AND LONGTIME LEADER IN\nLGBTQ PLUS ADVOCACY, THEY HAVE\nCONSISTENTLY WORKED TO ELEVATE\nTHE VOICES OF MARGINALIZED\nVOICES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.\nFROM SERVING ON THE COMMISSION\nTO LEADING STATEWIDE EFFORTS\nTHROUGH THE WASHINGTON STONEWALL\nDEMOCRATS, ANDREW HAS CHAMPIONED\nPOLICIES THAT ADDRESS HOUSING,\nHEALTHCARE AND RACIAL JUSTICE.\nTHEIR PASSION FOR HOUSING IT\nSTEMS FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE\nAND PROFESSIONAL WORK SUPPORTING\nVULNERABLE POPULATIONS. ANDREW\nBELIEVES HOUSING IS HUMAN RIGHT\nAND THEY ARE COMMITTED TO\nADVANCING POLICIES TO PRINT --\nPREVENT DISPLACEMENT AND PROTECT\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL. THEY\nSEEK TO SERVE ON THE RENTERS\nCOMMISSION TO BRING LIVED\nEXPERIENCE, POLICY AND SITE AN\nUNWAVERING ADVOCACY TO THE TABLE\nENSURING RENTERS ARE NOT ONLY\nHEARD BUT EMPOWERED IN SHAPING\nTHE FUTURE OF THE CITY. THOSE\nARE ALL OF THE REMAINING\nAPPOINTEES WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO\nMAKE IT. ANDREW WAS HERE AT CITY\nHALL BUT ENDED UP LEAVING AFTER\nSOME OF THE DELAYS. HE DID\nATTEMPT TO BE HERE AS WELL.\nAGAIN, THANK YOU FOR\nPRESENTING ON THOSE FOLKS.\nCOUNCILMEMBER RINCK, DO YOU HAVE\nANY COMMENTS?\nTHANK YOU. AS WAS MENTIONED,\nTHE RENTERS COMMISSION HAS NOT\nHAD APPOINTMENTS IN ABOUT A YEAR\nAND A HALF. IT'S MY WORKING\nUNDERSTANDING THAT NO OTHER\nCOMMISSION HAS EXPERIENCED THIS\nPROFOUND OF A CHALLENGE WHEN IT\nCOMES TO APPOINTMENTS BY THIS\nBODY. I WANT TO SAY ON BEHALF OF\nTHIS BODY I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO\nEACH OF YOU. FOR EVERYONE WHO\nHAS COME IN PERSON AND ALSO\nTHOSE ONLINE. I WANT TO\nAPOLOGIZE TO EACH OF YOU FOR NOT\nBEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD\nTODAY. THIS IS SO DISRESPECTFUL\n. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO READ THIS\nAS ANYTHING OTHER THAN\nINTENTIONAL SUPPRESSION OF\nREPRESENTATION. SEATTLE IS A\nMAJORITY RENTER CITY. I AM THE\nONLY MEMBER OF THIS BODY THAT IS\nA RENTER. WE ARE THE MAJORITY\nAND RENTERS ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY\nTO BE DISPLACED AND EXPERIENCE\nHOMELESSNESS. WORKING PEOPLE ARE\nBEING DISPLACED FROM THIS CITY\nEVERY DAY AS WE FAIL TO ADDRESS\nTHE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS. WE\nHAVE BEEN IN A STATE OF\nEMERGENCY ON HOMELESSNESS FOR\nYEARS. WE ARE LOSING FEDERAL\nRESOURCES FOR HOUSING AND HUMAN\nSERVICES. I KNOW THAT WE WILL\nHEAR A PRESENTATION TODAY ON\nSOME OF THE FEDERAL RESOURCES\nBUT THAT IS CRITICAL ACTION WE\nCANNOT TAKE. THAT IS $30 MILLION\nWE HAVE NOT LOST YET . MEMBERS\nOF THIS BODY CONTINUED TO STATE\nTHEY ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT\nLOSING FEDERAL FUNDING AND WE\nARE THE ONES THROWING THIS INTO\nJEOPARDY. I WANT TO REMIND FOLKS\nTHAT FOR ANYONE WHO IS TUNED IN\nRIGHT NOW, THIS IS NOT A\nCOMMITTEE MEETING . IT'S JUST A\nCOMMUNITY MEETING. IT IS THE\nCOUNCIL MEMBERS CHARTERED\nRESPONSIBILITY TO BE AT THESE\nMEETINGS. THIS IS LITERALLY OUR\nJOB. I FIND IT DEEPLY\nFRUSTRATING THAT PEOPLE TOOK\nTIME TO LEAVE THEIR JOBS IN THE\nMIDDLE OF THE DAY AND YET NOT\nEVERY MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE\nCOULD SHOW UP TO DO THERE'S. I\nKNOW WE ARE ON A TIME CRUNCH. WE\nMISSED CRITICAL TIME AND I'M\nMINDFUL THAT WE HAVE TIME\nCONSTRAINTS. I WANT TO CONTINUE\nTHE CONVERSATION WITH EACH OF\nYOU TO BE SURE WE ARE FULLY\nUNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES\nTHAT RENTERS EXPERIENCE AT THIS\nTIME. YOU HAVE MY COMMITMENT\nTHAT WE WILL MAKE SURE WE SEE\nTHROUGH THESE APPOINTMENTS AND\nTHERE'S NO ADDITIONAL DELAY .\nWITH THAT SAID, I HAVE TO CLOSE\nBY EXPRESSING MY DEEP\nFRUSTRATION WITH THE SITUATION\nWE FIND OURSELVES IN TODAY AND I\nCALL ON OUR COLLEAGUES TO DO\nBETTER.\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH. I ALSO\nWANT TO APOLOGIZE THAT WE ARE\nNOT ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD ON\nADVANCING YOUR NAMES AT THIS\nTIME . I APOLOGIZE FOR YOU\nTAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY\nTO COME DOWN HERE AND BE\nFRUSTRATED. I WANT TO ECHO THAT\nWE NEED TO DO BETTER . I WANT TO\nTHANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, THANK\nYOU FOR BEING WILLING TO GIVE OF\nYOUR TIME TO DO THIS WORK\nVOLUNTARILY. IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT\nYOUR CHARACTER THAT YOU ARE\nWILLING TO GIVE YOUR TIME, YOUR\nENERGY, YOUR EFFORT TO ADVOCATE\nFOR FOLKS AND NOT GET PAID FOR\nIT . THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK\nYOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR\nSACRIFICE. THANK YOU FOR BEING\nHERE TODAY. AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE\nWE ARE NOT ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD\nAT THIS TIME. WITH THAT, I HOPE\nTHAT YOU ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR\nDAY . THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR\nBEING HERE.\nI HAVE ONE MORE QUICK NOTE: I HAVE ONE MORE QUICK NOTE.\nI JUST WANTED TO ADD A QUICK: I JUST WANTED TO ADD A QUICK\nNOTE OF THANKS TO THE END OF THE\nLIST JUST CALLING OUT LORI\nJENKINS OUR CITY LIAISON. IT IS\nDUE TO LAURA ESPECIALLY AT A\nCAPACITY OF FIVE COMMISSIONERS\nTHE RENTERS COMMISSION IS ABLE\nTO STILL GET THINGS DONE. I JUST\nWANTED TO GIVE A HUGE SHOUT OUT\nTO HER FOR BEING HERE, ALL OF\nHER HARD WORK AND REPRESENTING\nTHE PENDING COMMISSIONERS WHO\nWERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TODAY.\n[APPLAUSE].\nLAURA DESERVES THAT APPLAUSE: LAURA DESERVES THAT APPLAUSE.\nTHANK YOU SO MUCH. OUR NEXT\nPERSON , IF WE CAN HAVE YOU COME\nUP PLEASE. THE OTHER -- CAN THE\nOTHER PROSPECTIVE APPOINTEE COME\nFORWARD PLEASE?\nGOOD MORNING . MY NAME IS\nJANET STAFFORD. I'M WITH THE\nSEATTLE OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS.\nIN OUR OFFICE WE HAS\nCOMMISSIONS, SPECIFICALLY THE\nSEATTLE DISABILITY COMMISSION\nWHO HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN THE\nLAST 15 YEARS, ADVOCATING FOR\nDISABILITY JUSTICE. TODAY WE\nHAVE WITH US A RECOMMENDED\nCOMMISSIONER, SCOT NELSON THAT\nHAS BEEN AN ACTIVE MEMBER FOR\nTHE LAST FEW MONTHS. I WOULD\nLIKE TO PASS IT ON TO HIM TO\nSHARE SOME WORDS.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH. FIRST\nOFF I WOULD LIKE TO SAY INFINITE\nSOLIDARITY WITH THE RENTERS\nCOMMISSION FOLKS. THERE'S A\nREASON WHY HOUSING AND HUMAN\nSERVICES ARE PAIRED TOGETHER.\nDISABILITY, HOMELESSNESS,\nQUESTIONS OF HOW WE HELP PEOPLE\nIN HARD TIMES ARE INTRINSICALLY\nLINKED. I WANT TO RESPECT THAT.\nMY NAME IS SCOT NELSON, NO\nRELATION. I USE HE/HIM PRONOUNS\nAND WORK FOR THE CITY OF\nSEATTLE. I AM NOT THE NELSON\nWITH TUTEES IN THE FIRE\nDEPARTMENT . I WORK FOR THE\nDEPARTMENT OF RECREATION. AT THE\nCOMMUNITY CENTER. I GREW UP IN\nSOUTH TACOMA. FOR THE LAST FIVE\nYEARS I HAVE LIVED IN DISTRICT 2\nIN THE CID AS A CARLESS RENTER.\nI'M ALSO SOMEONE WHO LIVES WITH\nAND HAS MANY LOVED ONES WITH\nDISABILITIES. I HAVE BEEN\nNOMINATED TO THE DISABILITY\nCOMMISSION WHICH IS AN\nINCREDIBLE HONOR. I SEEK TO BE\nCONCERNED -- CONFIRMED SO I CAN\nLEVERAGE MY DATA SCIENCE AND\nCOMMUNITY BACKGROUND AND MY\nUNIQUE POSITION AS A CITY OF\nSEATTLE EMPLOYEE TO ASSIST THE\nCOMMISSION TO AMPLIFY EFFORTS IN\nADVOCACY, TRANSPORTATION AND\nEMPLOYMENT. I BELIEVE HOW WE\nCREATE AXIS POINTS AND PROVIDE\nRIGHTS TO DISABLED FAMILY AND\nNEIGHBORS IS A KEY INDICATOR FOR\nHOW SOCIETY IS GOING AS A WHOLE.\nAS A YOUNG PERSON IT IS\nSOMETIMES HARD NOT TO BE CYNICAL\nI THINK THAT WE ARE COOKED.\nMYSELF AND MANY OTHER YOUNG\nFOLKS WHO I ENCOURAGE TO APPLY\nTO THE DISABILITY COMMISSION\nCANNOT STOP FIGHTING ANYWAYS.\nTHAT IS WHY I WOULD LIKE TO BE\nPART OF THIS FANTASTIC\nCOMMISSION WITH INCREDIBLE\nMEMBERS SUPPORTED BY SUCH A\nWONDERFUL PERSON AS JADEN\nSTAFFORD.\nTHANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR\nOUR POTENTIAL COMMISSIONER?\nCOMMENTS?\nTHANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I\nAM SORRY . I APPRECIATE YOUR\nSERVICE TO OUR COMMISSION. I\nSUPPOSE JUST A GENERAL QUESTION,\nHOW ARE YOU HOPING TO SEEK\nCOUNCIL ENGAGE WITH THE\nCOMMISSION. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK\nLIKE AND HOW CAN WE DO BETTER?\nI THINK IN GENERAL I WOULD: I THINK IN GENERAL I WOULD\nLIKE TO SEE A LOT MORE\nAFFIRMATIVE STEPS TAKEN IN THE\nREALM OF CREATING ACCESS AND\nLEGISLATION THAT CITY COUNCIL\nPUTS FORWARD. OFTEN TIMES WHEN\nWE THINK ABOUT DISABILITY ACCESS\nWE THINK ABOUT IT IN A VERY\nREACTIVE OR LEGALISTIC SENSE .\nWE THINK ABOUT ADA COMPLIANCE\nAND WE THINK ABOUT IT WITH THE\nCOMPLIANCE FRAMEWORK. JUST\nTALKING ABOUT IT AS THINGS THAT\nPEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO.\nTALKING ABOUT THE RIGHTS PEOPLE\nHAVE TO ACCESS. WHEN IT COMES TO\nTRANSPORTATION OR JOBS, PEOPLE\nWITH DISABILITIES HAVE THE SAME\nRIGHT AS ANYBODY ELSE DOES. WHEN\nWE THINK ABOUT HOW WE LEGISLATE\nTHAT ARE HOW WE DISTRIBUTE\nRESOURCES, THINKING ABOUT IT IN\nTHOSE TERMS AS OPPOSED WILL BE\nLEGALLY PUNISHED IF WE DO NOT DO\nTHIS. I THINK THAT WOULD GO A\nLONG WAY TOWARDS PEOPLE'S\nCONCEPTION OF WHAT A GOOD\nSOCIETY IS.\nI REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. I\nTHINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE\nTHAT THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY IS\nA COMMUNITY THAT ANYONE CAN\nBECOME A MEMBER OF.\nDARN NEAR EVERYONE DOES: DARN NEAR EVERYONE DOES.\nIT'S A MULTIFACETED SPECTRUM\nAND SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AS\nSORT OF AN INEVITABILITY OF\nAGING AND EXISTING IN A SOCIETY\nESPECIALLY WHERE A LOT OF FOLKS\nDON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. A\nLOT OF FOLKS LACKS SAFE ACCESS\nTO TRANSIT. WHILE WE CELEBRATE\nDISABILITY AS A UNIQUE PART OF\nWHO PEOPLE ARE, THERE IS A LOT\nOF TRAUMA AND TRAGEDY THAT COMES\nWITH UNEXPECTED DISABILITY AND\nCOMES WITH THE REALLY BAD THINGS\nTHAT CAN SUDDENLY HAPPEN TO EACH\nAND EVERY ONE OF US.\nCAN I JUST ADD ONE QUICK: CAN I JUST ADD ONE QUICK\nNOTE. SCOTT WILL BE OUR SEVENTH\nMEMBER ON THE BOARD ONCE\nAPPOINTED . IT IS A SMALL GROUP\nOF FOLKS. WE DO HAVE NEWLY\nAPPOINTED COCHAIRS WHO HAVE\nALREADY DONE A MEET AND GREET\nWITH A COUNCILMEMBER. I WILL\nJUST SHOUT OUT . I KNOW THAT\nTHEY WANT TO CONTINUE THAT\nEFFORT THIS YEAR. I'M SURE THEY\nWOULD LOVE TO MEET WITH ALL OF\nYOU. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU\nFOR BEING HERE AGAIN. APOLOGIES\nFOR THE DELAY. I KNOW YOU HAVE\nBEEN HERE THE ENTIRE TIME.\nAPOLOGIES THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE\nTO VOTE ON YOUR NOMINATION TO\nPROCEED FORWARD . IT WILL HAPPEN\nSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR\nWILLINGNESS TO VOLUNTEER AND\nSTEP UP. IT DOES SAY A LOT SO\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nWHAT DO WE HAVE NEXT? NEXT IN\nTHE COMMUNITY MEETING IS TALKING\nABOUT THE HUD ACTION PLAN. DO\nYOU ALL HAVE A HARD STOP?\n11:55.\nHOPEFULLY WE WILL NOT TAKE: HOPEFULLY WE WILL NOT TAKE\nTHAT LONG.\nI APPRECIATE THE: I APPRECIATE THE\nCONSIDERATION. READY?\nYES.\nGOOD MORNING COUNCILMEMBER: GOOD MORNING COUNCILMEMBER\nSOLOMON, COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. I\nWORK FOR THE HUMAN SERVICES\nDEPARTMENT. I AM HERE TO TALK\nTODAY ABOUT THE 2025 ANNUAL\nACTION PLAN. JUST TO BE UPFRONT\nABOUT THIS, RECOGNIZING THE\nNATURE OF TODAY'S MEETING, WHAT\nI WILL BE PRESENTING DOES HAVE\nSOME REFERENCES TO LEGISLATION\nAND COUNCIL PROCESS. THEY ARE\nDESCRIPTIVE. I'M JUST TELLING\nTHE STORY OF HOW WE GOT TO WHERE\nWE ARE TODAY. WE ARE HERE\nBECAUSE THE VOTE TO APPROVE THIS\nPLAN WILL ALLOW HST TO MEET A\nSUBMISSION DEADLINE TO THE\nFEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING\nAND URBAN DEVELOPMENT . THE\nDEADLINE IS AUGUST 16. LAST\nDECEMBER WE PRESENTED ON THE\nDRAFT 2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN\nAND HELD A PUBLIC HEARING. THAT\nPLAN INCLUDED ESTIMATED FUNDING\nALLOCATIONS . WE RECEIVED THE\nFINAL FUNDING ALLOCATIONS IN\nMAY. WE HAVE PREPARED\nLEGISLATION APPROVING THE 2025\nANNUAL ACTION PLAN . IN A SENSE\nTHIS ACTION PLAN CAN BE SEEN AS\nA SPENDING PLAN. I AM HERE TODAY\nTO SHARE THE SPENDING PLAN FOR\n2025 HST GRANT FUNDING. WHAT WE\nWILL DO TODAY. WE WILL REVIEW\nTHE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANNUAL\nACTION PLAN, TOUCH ON SOME KEY\nMILESTONES AND DATES LEADING UP\nTO THE 2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN\nSUBMITTAL. WE WILL GIVE A\nHIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW OF PROJECTS\nTHAT THESE GRANTS SUPPORT. THEN\nI WILL OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS.\nALLOCATIONS IN THE 2025 ANNUAL\nACTION PLAN ARE ESTABLISHED\nFUNDING GOALS AND PRIORITIES\nTHAT WERE DOCUMENTED IN THE 2024\nTO 2028 CONSOLIDATED PLAN. THAT\nPLAN AND THE GOALS THERE AND\nWERE ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL\nIN OCTOBER 2023. THE CITY\nCOUNCIL ALSO APPROVED THIS\nYEAR'S PLAN ALLOCATIONS AS PART\nOF THE 2025 BUDGET PROCESS. THE\nLEGISLATION WE HAVE PREPARED AND\nWILL LATER BRING TO COUNCIL\nMATCHES THE TWO PREVIOUSLY\nADOPTED PLANS WITH ACTUAL 20 $25\nMADE AVAILABLE TO THE CITY\nTHROUGH THE FEDERAL BUDGET\nPROCESS. THOSE ARE THE\nALLOCATIONS I MENTIONED EARLIER.\nHST IS THE GRANTEE ON BEHALF OF\nTHE CITY OF SEATTLE FOR THIS\nFUNDING. HST COORDINATES THE\nDEVELOPMENT OF THE ANNUAL\nSPENDING PLAN THAT IS REQUIRED\nFOR THESE FOUR FORMULA GRANTS\nADMINISTERED . WE WILL TALK\nABOUT THOSE PROGRAMS LATER IN\nTHE PRESENTATION. THE TIMELINE\nON THE SLIDE REFLECTS A STANDARD\nPROCESS THAT HST UNDERTAKES IN\nFULFILLING THE REQUIREMENTS AND\nPARTICIPATING IN THESE FOUR\nPROGRAMS. THESE ARE THE KEY\nDATES LEADING UP TO PLAN\nCOMPLETION AND SUBMITTAL BY THE\nAUGUST 16 STATUTORY DEADLINE. AS\nI MENTIONED, HST WILL SEEK\nAPPROVAL TO MAKE THIS DEADLINE\nAND RECEIVE THE 2025 GRANT\nFUNDS. THE 2024 TO 2028\nCONSOLIDATED PLAN IS A FRAMEWORK\nFOR THE ACTION PLAN. IT HAS FIVE\nKEY POLICY PRIORITIES WHICH WERE\nADOPTED WHEN THE PLAN WAS\nRATIFIED IN 2023. I WILL JUST\nREAD THOSE TO THE RECORD. THESE\nARE SERVICES TO PREVENT PEOPLE\nFROM EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.\nADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE\nIMPACTED BY MENTAL HEALTH AND\nSUBSTANCE USE WHICH IS IMPORTANT\nIN LIGHT OF THE OPIOID AND\nFENTANYL CRISIS. TO INCREASE\nECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB\nRETRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW\nAND MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS\nAND THOSE DISADVANTAGED AND\nRECOVERING FROM RECENT ECONOMIC\nSTABILITY. FINALLY, TO INCREASE\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS.\nRELATED TO THESE PRIORITIES, THE\n2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN WITH'S\nSPECIFIC INVESTMENTS TO ADDRESS\nTHE OPIOID AND FENTANYL CRISIS.\nTHAT IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE\nMAYOR'S PRIORITIES. THIS SHOWS\nTHE DIFFERENCE IN ALLOCATIONS\nRECEIVED IN 2024 AND 2025 FOR\nTHE PROGRAMS THAT I REFERENCED A\nFEW SLIDES BACK. ALL OF THESE\nPROGRAMS ARE ADMINISTERED BY\nHUD. THEY ARE THE COMMUNITY\nDEVELOPMENT LOCK GRANT , HOME\nINVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS,\nEMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT . I\nWILL BRIEFLY DEFINE EACH OF THEM\nFOR YOUR REFERENCE. THIS PROGRAM\nENCRYPTS -- IMPROVES THE\nECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL\nENVIRONMENT TO ENHANCE THE\nQUALITY OF LIFE FOR LOW AND\nMODERATE INCOME RESIDENTS. THE\nHOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP\nPROVIDES FUNDING THAT SUPPORTS\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR LOW AND\nMODERATE INCOME FAMILIES. THIS\nTHE ONLY PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE\nLIVING WITH HIV AND AIDS. THE\nEMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT\nASSISTS PEOPLE WITH QUICKLY\nREGAINING STABILITY AND\nPERMANENT HOUSING AFTER\nEXPERIENCING A HOUSING CRISIS\nAND/OR HOMELESSNESS. GENERALLY,\nTHE 2025 AMOUNTS REFLECT\nAPPROXIMATELY A 1% DIFFERENCE\nFROM THE 2024 AWARD. WE DO NOT\nANTICIPATE THIS WILL HAVE ANY\nSIGNIFICANT IMPACTS. A SLIGHT\nEXCEPTION IS THE EST FUNDING\nWHERE WE SEE THE 4% REDUCTION\nFROM THE 2024 ALLOCATION. THIS\nIS USED TO FUND RAPID REHOUSING\nWHICH IS A CATEGORY WE TYPICALLY\nSEE UNDER SPENT. NO ANTICIPATED\nIMPACT FROM THIS SLIGHT\nREDUCTION FROM 2024 LEVELS.\nMINOR FLUCTUATIONS LIKE THIS ARE\nTYPICAL AND OVERALL NATIONALLY\nCONGRESS APPROPRIATED LESS TO\nTHIS PROGRAM THIS YEAR. SPEAKING\nOF CONGRESS I WILL HIGHLIGHT\nTHAT THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF\nBIPARTISAN SUPPORT AS IS\nREFLECTED IN THESE ALLOCATIONS\nWHICH DO NOT DIFFER\nSIGNIFICANTLY FROM 2024 LEVELS.\nIN ALIGNMENT WITH THE MIDYEAR\nSUPPLEMENTAL LEGISLATION THAT IS\nSHORTLY BEFORE COUNCIL, THIS\nTABLE SHOWS HOW HST IS\nALLOCATING THIS FUNDING IN THE\n2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. THE TOP\nPART OF THE TABLE SHOWS THE\nINTENT TO ALLOCATE THE 2025\nGRANT AWARDS TOTALING 8.9\nMILLION ACROSS VARIOUS PROJECTS.\nTHE BOTTOM PART OF THE TABLE\nSHOWS 13 POINT 8 MILLION\nREMAINING BALANCE OF DOLLARS\nFROM PREVIOUS FUNDING YEARS AS\nWELL AS THEIR INTENDED\nALLOCATIONS. THE DATA IS IN\nALIGNMENT WITH THE DRAFT 2025\nANNUAL ACTION PLAN THAT WAS\nPASSED LAST DECEMBER. YOU CAN\nSEE AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, ONE\nOF THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN\n2025 IS INCREASED INVESTMENTS IN\nOPIOID TREATMENT STUDIES. THE\nLAST SLIDE WAS LARGELY SPECIFIC\nTO THE FUNDING. THIS WAS\nINTENDED TO SHOW THE PLANNED\nUSES OF FUNDING FROM THE OTHER\nTHREE PROGRAMS. THE FIRST DOES\nREFERENCE THE REVOLVING LOAN\nFUND. WE PRESENT THAT ON THIS\nPAGE BECAUSE IT IS A DIFFERENT\nAND SPECIFIC USE . FOR TECHNICAL\nREASONS IT'S A BETTER FIT HERE.\nBOTH THIS SLIDE AND THE PREVIOUS\nONE ARE CONSISTENT WITH POLICY\nPRIORITIES THAT COUNCIL APPROVED\nIN THE FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED\nPLAN. IMPORTANTLY THEY REFLECT\nOPPORTUNITIES TO SPEND DOWN\nFUNDING IN A MAXIMALLY TIMELY\nMANNER. THESE ALLOCATIONS HAVE A\nTIMELINESS OF EXPENDITURE\nREQUIREMENT THAT WE ARE VERY\nATTENDANT TWO. JUST TO SAY IT\nONE MORE TIME, THE STATUTORY\nDEADLINE TO SUBMIT THE ACTION\nPLAN IS AUGUST 16. I NOTED THAT\nWE WILL SEEK COUNCIL APPROVED\nMEANT TO SUBMIT THE PLAN AND\nSUBSEQUENTLY BE ABLE TO ACCESS\nTHE FUNDING AND SUPPORT THESE\nBODIES OF WORK. THAT IS ALL THAT\nI HAVE FOR YOU TODAY. HAPPY TO\nENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS.\nTHANK YOU FOR BEING HERE: THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.\nCOUNCILMEMBER RINCK, DO YOU HAVE\nQUESTIONS?\nYOU MENTION CONGRESS HAS: YOU MENTION CONGRESS HAS\nLOWERED THE AMOUNT FOR THIS\nYEAR. COULD YOU JUST REPEAT THAT\nINFORMATION?\nI DON'T KNOW IF LOWERED IS\nTHE TERM OF ART FOR WHAT\nOCCURRED . IT WAS A LOWER\nAPPROPRIATION. THERE COULD BE\nVARIOUS REASONS. THERE'S ALWAYS\nCOMPETITION FOR THIS TYPE OF\nGRANT FUNDING. FROM OUR\nPERSPECTIVE, I DO NOT BELIEVE WE\nARE AWARE OF ANY POLICY CONCERN\nAT THIS TIME. AGAIN, THESE\nFLUCTUATIONS, EVEN THIS 4% ARE\nNOT UNEXPECTED JUST BASED ON\nYEAR-TO-YEAR VARIANCE.\nTHANK YOU FOR BREAKING THAT: THANK YOU FOR BREAKING THAT\nDOWN. UNDERSTANDING WE ARE NOT\nSEEING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES BASED\nON LAST YEAR.\nTHAT IS CORRECT: THAT IS CORRECT.\nGOOD TO HEAR. I UNDERSTAND\nTHE COUNTY CONVENES THE\nCOMMITTEE. I AM WONDERING OUR\nLEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT. I KNOW\nTHAT IS A GREAT WAY TO\nUNDERSTAND SOME OF THE OTHER\nNEIGHBORING CITIES AND\nUNDERSTANDING THEIR ALLOCATIONS\nAND WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. I KNOW\nTHAT INCLUDES A MULTITUDE OF\nPARTNERSHIPS. HOW ARE WE\nENGAGING AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT\nREGIONAL PARTNERS MAY BE\nEXPERIENCING?\nI DO NOT STAFF THAT BODY OF: I DO NOT STAFF THAT BODY OF\nWORK. I WOULD LOVE TO GET SOME\nMORE INFORMATION AND FOLLOW UP\nWITH YOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nMY BOTTOM LINE QUESTION IS: MY BOTTOM LINE QUESTION IS\nWHAT IS THE TIMELINE? FIRST,\nWHAT HAPPENS IF THE COUNCIL DOES\nNOT PHONE IN TIME ON THIS?\nIF HST IS NOT ABLE TO SUBMIT: IF HST IS NOT ABLE TO SUBMIT\nITS APPLICATION TO HUD ON OR BY\nAUGUST 16, I DO NOT WANT TO SAY\nWE LOSE ACCESS TO THE FUNDING\nBECAUSE I AM NOT SURE THAT IS\nTHE CASE, BUT THERE'S A RISK\nTHAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS\nTHE FUNDING THAT'S BEEN\nALLOCATED ACROSS THESE PROGRAMS.\nSO AUGUST 16 IS YOUR DEADLINE\nTO SUBMIT?\nYES.\nWHAT IS THE COUNCIL DEADLINE: WHAT IS THE COUNCIL DEADLINE\nTO ACT SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR\nDEADLINE?\nI AM NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER: I AM NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER\nTHAT QUESTION. I THINK THAT'S A\nCONVERSATION THAT HS THE AND\nTHOSE THAT SUPPORT THE COUNCIL\nNEED TO HAVE TO ENSURE . SINCE\nWE WERE NOT ABLE TO POTENTIALLY\nVOTE THIS ANNUAL ACTION PLAN OUT\nOF COMMITTEE TODAY THAT THERE IS\nA PATH TO THAT TAKING PLACE. I\nKNOW THAT CONVERSATIONS ARE\nBEING HAD.\nTHE LAST THING THAT WE WANT: THE LAST THING THAT WE WANT\nTO SEE, 16+ MILL LEFT ON THE\nTABLE BECAUSE WE DID NOT DO\nSOMETHING IN A TIMELY FASHION.\nJUST SAYING.\nI APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU\nVERY MUCH.\nIF WE COULD JUST DO SOME: IF WE COULD JUST DO SOME\nFOLLOW-UP, IF NECESSARY UNTIL A\nFULL CHAIR CAN BE SEATED, MAYBE\nTHE VICE CHAIR CAN CALL A\nSPECIAL MEETING I WILL DO THAT.\nIT SEEMS THAT THERE COULD BE: IT SEEMS THAT THERE COULD BE\nAT LEAST A COUPLE OF CREATIVE\nOPTIONS THAT WOULD SUPPORT THE\nSUBMITTAL OF AN APPROVED ACTION\nPLAN BY AUGUST 16.\nSINCE WE ARE HAVING A: SINCE WE ARE HAVING A\nCOMMUNITY MEETING DOES THIS HAVE\nTO GO THROUGH THE HOUSING AND\nHUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE?\nI SEE THE CLERK SHAKING HIS: I SEE THE CLERK SHAKING HIS\nHEAD. I DON'T BELIEVE IT NEEDS\nTO GO THROUGH THE HOUSE AND AND\nHUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE. DOES\nIT NEED TO GO TO ANOTHER\nCOMMITTEE BEFORE IT CAN GO TO A\nFULL COUNCIL . SO LET'S GET\nCREATIVE. .\nI WANT TO ECHO YOUR: I WANT TO ECHO YOUR\nSENTIMENTS AND MAKE SURE IT IS\nNOT DELAYED. I FULLY SUPPORT ANY\nLEGISLATIVE PATH THAT GET THIS\nDONE ON TIME. I WANT TO THANK\nYOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS.\nTHANK YOU. AGAIN, THANK YOU\nFOR STICKING WITH US TODAY TO\nSTICK IT OUT AND HANGING IN\nTHROUGH THE TIME DELAYS. WHO DO\nWE HAVE NEXT. TO QUOTE THE GREAT\nPHILOSOPHER MARSHAWN LYNCH, WHAT\nIS NEXT? GOOD MORNING.\nGOOD MORNING, COUNCIL\nMEMBERS. WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DO\nINTRODUCTIONS?\nPLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELVES: PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELVES\nFOR THE COMMUNITY MEETING.\nKRISTA FROM THE MAYOR'S\nOFFICE. LAUREN FROM CONSUMER\nPROTECTION DIVISION. TRACY FROM\nTHE COUNCIL STAFF.\nWE ARE HERE TO TALK TO YOU: WE ARE HERE TO TALK TO YOU\nABOUT LEGISLATION THE MAYOR\nTRANSMITTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL\nTO REGULATE PREDATORY HOMEBUYING\nPRACTICES. WE HAVE THE DECK THAT\nWE ARE PREPARED TO WALK THROUGH\nWITH YOU. I AM HAPPY TO JUST\nDIVE IN.\nPLEASE: PLEASE.\nLET ME START BY TALKING ABOUT: LET ME START BY TALKING ABOUT\nWHAT IS PREDATORY HOMEBUYING? IT\nIS WHEN HOMEOWNERS RECEIVE\nUNSOLICITED OFFERS, OFTEN FOR\nCASH FOR SELLERS TO BUY THEIR\nHOMES THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY ON\nTHE MARKET AND NOT LISTED. THIS\nWILL INVOLVE GETTING CALLS,\nLETTERS, POSTCARDS, TEXT\nMESSAGES FROM VARIOUS SELLERS\nSUGGESTING THEY ARE INTERESTED\nIN BUYING SOMEONE'S HOME. THE\nFOLKS MOST AT RISK FOR THESE\nTYPES OF PRACTICES ARE\nVULNERABLE HOMEOWNERS, OFTEN THE\nELDERLY AND FINANCIALLY\nDISTRESSED. THERE IS A STRONG\nINTERSECTION WITH RACE,\nESPECIALLY BLACK LEGACY\nHOMEOWNERS WHO'VE BEEN MOST AT\nRISK FOR THESE TYPES OF\nPRACTICES. IT OFTEN INVOLVES\nHEAVY-HANDED PRESSURE TACTICS.\nTHE END RESULT COULD BE SOMEONE\nSELLING THEIR HOME FOR BELOW\nMARKET VALUE WHICH MEANS THEY\nMIGHT BE GETTING LESS FOR THEIR\nHOME THAN THEY WOULD OTHERWISE\nIF THEY HAVE LISTED IT ON THE\nMARKET. SO WHY ARE WE TACKLING\nTHIS ISSUE NOW? I JUST WANT TO\nPROVIDE SOME CONTEXT. THERE'S A\nMAJOR UPDATE TO THE\nCOMPREHENSIVE PLAN . A LOT OF\nCONCERNS THAT COME WITH THE\nZONING ABOUT DISPLACEMENT\nPRESSURES. IN THAT CONTEXT WE\nHEARD FROM SOME OF THE COMMUNITY\nABOUT CONCERNS ABOUT PREDATORY\nHOMEBUYING PRACTICES. PERHAPS\nTHOSE MIGHT HEAT UP WHEN THE HB\n1110 LEGISLATION TAKES EFFECT\nWHICH THE INTERIM DID A COUPLE\nMONTHS AGO. WE ARE CONCERNED\nABOUT THAT, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT\nYOU CAN ADD MORE HOMES TO WHAT\nWAS TRADITIONALLY A\nSINGLE-FAMILY PARCEL . WE ASKED\nTHE INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE\nTEAM TO DO A REVIEW OF THE\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT PRACTICES. IN\nTHE CITY WE HAVE MANY PROGRAMS\nIN PLACE, BUT THE INNOVATION AND\nPERFORMANCE TEAM IDENTIFIED\nVARIOUS WAYS WE CAN IMPROVE UPON\nOUR CURRENT PROGRAMMING . THE\nEND RESULT OF THAT IS AN\nEXECUTIVE ORDER WE ISSUED TO\nIMPROVE THE EFFICACY OF THE\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT PROGRAMS AND\nFILL IN SOME OF THE GAPS. ONE OF\nTHE GAPS THAT WAS IDENTIFIED WAS\nREGULATING PREDATORY HOMEBUYING\nPRACTICES. MAYOR HARRELL ASKED\nTHE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION\nDEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP\nLEGISLATION TO REGULATE THESE\nPRACTICES. THAT IS A LITTLE BIT\nOF THE CONTEXT ABOUT HOW THIS\nLEGISLATION CAME TO BE. HIGH\nLEVEL OVERVIEW, THE LEGISLATION\nOBLIGATES POTENTIAL BUYERS TO\nDISCLOSE CERTAIN INFORMATION TO\nHOMEOWNERS ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS.\nIT PROVIDES AN OUT FOR\nHOMEOWNERS TO CANCEL A CONTRACT\nAFTER THEY SIGN IT. IT GIVES THE\nCITY THE ABILITY TO FIND\nBUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUALS THAT\nDO NOT COMPLY AND ESTABLISHES\nACTION. I WILL JUST KEEP GOING\nIF THERE ARE NOT ANY QUESTIONS\nWITH A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ABOUT\nWHAT'S IN THE LEGISLATION. FEEL\nFREE TO ASK ME AS I GO. IN TERMS\nOF THE DETAILS, THE PROPOSED\nREGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT\nPOTENTIAL BUYERS OF THESE HOMES\nWHEN THEY ARE ENGAGING WITH\nHOMEOWNERS NEED TO PROVIDE\nVARIOUS DISCLOSURE INFORMATION\nTO HOMEOWNERS ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS\nPRIOR TO SIGNING A PURCHASE\nCONTRACT AS WELL AS WHEN THE\nPURCHASE CONTRACT GOES TO BE\nSIGNED. AT LEAST FIVE DAYS IN\nADVANCE, THE POTENTIAL BUYER\nMUST PROVIDE WRITTEN NOTICE TO\nTHE OWNER OF THE HOME ABOUT HOW\nTO ASSESS THE FAIR MARKET VALUE\nOF THEIR HOME. IT OUTLINES THE\nOWNER'S RIGHT TO APPRAISAL\nWHICH THE POTENTIAL BUYER MUST\nPAY FOR. IT HIRES -- HIGHLIGHTS\nTHE OWNER'S RIGHT TO HIRE A\nREAL ESTATE AGENT AND SEEK LEGAL\nCOUNCIL AND ANY OTHER\nINFORMATION DEEMED APPROPRIATE .\nWHEN IT COMES TO THE PURCHASE\nCONTRACT, THE CONTRACT MUST\nINCLUDE A SEPARATE DISCLOSURE\nDOCUMENT WITH ALL THE\nINFORMATION I JUST COVERED AND\nALSO SPECIFY THAT THE HOMEOWNER\nHAS A RIGHT TO CANCEL THE\nCONTRACT WITHOUT PENALTY.\nREASONABLY THAT WILL INCLUDE\nDETAIL ABOUT HOW LONG THEY HAVE\nTO CONSIDER PURCHASING THE\nCONTRACT WHICH I WILL GET INTO\nIN A MOMENT. THE DISCLOSURE\nNOTICE WILL ALSO INCLUDE CONTACT\nINFORMATION FOR REPORTING\nVIOLATIONS TO THE CITY. AFTER\nSIGNING THE CONTRACT THE OWNER\nCAN HIRE AN APPRAISER EVEN UP TO\n10 DAYS AFTER SIGNING. THE OWNER\nCAN ALSO CANCEL THE CONTRACT\nWITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER\nRECEIVING APPRAISAL. THE OWNER\nCAN CANCEL THE CONTRACT 10 DAYS\nAFTER EXECUTION IF NO APPRAISAL\nIS SIGNED. THERE'S VARIOUS TIME\nPERIODS IN THE LEGISLATION\nTALKING ABOUT WHEN AND HOW THE\nHOMEOWNER CAN CANCEL THE\nCONTRACT WITH NO PENALTY. SO\nTHAT PROVIDES A BUFFER IN THE\nEVENT THE HOMEOWNER HAS SELLERS\nREMORSE OR LEARNS THAT THEIR\nHOME IS WORTH MORE MONEY AND\nPROVIDES ADDITIONAL PROTECTION\nFOR THE HOMEOWNER. OUR\nLEGISLATION CLOSELY ALIGNS WITH\nLEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED BY\nTHE STATE . WHEN WE STARTED TO\nFIRST LOOK AT THIS ISSUE THE\nSTATE LEGISLATION WAS NOT ON OUR\nRADAR. I THINK THE STATE FOR\nSIMILAR REASONS WITH ALL OF THE\nLEGISLATION COMING OUT ALSO\nWANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT\nPREDATORY HOMEBUYING PRACTICES.\nTHE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE\nRECOMMENDED WE TRY TO ALIGN WITH\nTHE STATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO\nAVOID CONFUSION AND DUPLICATION\nOF EFFORTS. IT WAS AT THAT POINT\nWE PIVOTED FROM SOME OF THE\nOTHER IDEAS WE WERE EXPLORING\nAND TOOK A LOOK AT THE STATE\nLEGISLATION. I JUST WANT TO\nHIGHLIGHT THE CITY LEGISLATION\nGOES ABOVE AND BEYOND . FIRST OF\nALL IT IMPOSES MORE STRINGENT\nFINES . IT PROVIDES MORE TIME\nFOLLOWING EXECUTION OF THE\nCONTRACT TO OBTAIN AN APPRAISAL\nAND CANCEL THE CONTRACT. IT HAS\nSTRONGER DOCUMENTATION\nREQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE THE\nSTATEMENTS TO THE HOMEOWNERS ARE\nACTUALLY BEING RECEIVED. IT\nESTABLISHES THAT HOMEOWNERS HAVE\nA RIGHT OF ACTION . THOSE ARE\nALL THE WAYS IN WHICH OUR\nLEGISLATION WHILE TRYING TO\nADHERE TO THE INTENT WE DECIDED\nTO INCREASE SOME PROTECTIONS FOR\nHOMEOWNERS AS WELL. YOU KNOW, WE\nDO NOT AT THIS POINT HAVE A GOOD\nHANDLE ON THE EXTENT OF THE\nPROBLEM. THIS IS ANOTHER WAY FOR\nTHE CITY TO START DOCUMENTING\nTHE EXTENT TO WHICH THESE\nPRACTICES ARE OCCURRING AND\nPEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH\nTHIS PRACTICE. WE ARE LOOKING\nFORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO TRACK\nTHIS MORE CLOSELY. IF ADDITIONAL\nPROTECTIONS ARE NEEDED IN THE\nFUTURE WE WILL BE IN POSITION TO\nDETERMINE THAT. WITH THAT, I\nWANT TO TURN IT OVER TO TALK\nABOUT IMPLEMENTATION.\nGOOD MORNING. FOR THE\nIMPLEMENTATION STEPS, THERE'S A\nCOUPLE OF WAYS THAT WE LOOKED AT\nIT. WE DO NOT HAVE A HANDLE ON\nHOW OFTEN THIS IS HAPPENING. ONE\nOF THE FIRST THINGS WE WILL DO\nIS UPDATE ANY WEBSITE\nINFORMATION. THAT WOULD BE\nINCLUDING THE CONSUMER\nPROTECTION WEBSITE WITH\nINFORMATION FOR THE BUYERS,\nWHOLESALERS, RESIDENTS AND\nHOMEOWNERS ABOUT HOW THIS WILL\nIMPACT THEM, HOW TO REPORT\nCOMPLAINTS AND UP DATE\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION. ONE OF\nTHE THINGS WE ARE LOOKING AT AS\nFAR AS OUTREACH AND EDUCATION,\nSINCE WE DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE\nALL IN SEATTLE, IN THE STATE OR\nTHROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WOULD BE\nTHROUGH MAIL AND PHONE CONTACTS\nAND INFORMATION WE RECEIVED FROM\nRESIDENTS ABOUT WHO THEY MAY\nHAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY FOR\nSELLING THEIR HOME. FOR THE\nOTHER AREAS WE WERE LOOKING AT\nIS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION CARDS\nAT PUBLIC LOCATIONS SUCH AS\nCOMMUNITY CENTERS, CLINICS,\nLIBRARIES, SERVICE CENTERS,\nAREAS WHERE WE ARE REALLY SEEING\nCHANGES AND DEVELOPMENT WITHIN\nTHE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THESE\nHOMES MIGHT BE MORE LIKELY TO BE\n-- AS THOSE AREAS EXPAND. WE\nWOULD ADDITIONALLY USE THE\nLANGUAGE ACCESS THAT IS\nAVAILABLE FOR THE HIGH-LEVEL\nLANGUAGES TO BE TRANSLATED IN.\nWE THINK THAT IS REALLY\nIMPORTANT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS\nTO UNDERSTAND THEIR RIGHTS AND\nSERVICES. THE TRAINING WOULD\nALSO BE FOR LICENSE AND STANDARD\nINSPECTORS AS WELL AS TO WORK\nWITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BUREAU\nAS THEY MANAGE THE BEGINNING OF\nTHOSE CALLS FROM CUSTOMERS WITH\nQUESTIONS. THEY COULD DO IT\nONLINE OR GET THOSE CONCERNS TO\nTHE CONSUMER PROTECTION BUREAU\nTO DO AN INVESTIGATION. AS FAR\nAS THE ENFORCEMENT FOR THIS A\nCOMPLAINT WOULD BE RECEIVED BY\nCONSUMER PROTECTION EITHER\nONLINE, IN PERSON OR THROUGH THE\nPHONE . IT WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO\nAN INSPECTOR. AFTER THAT THE\nINSPECTOR WOULD DO THEIR\nINSPECTION TO SEE IF THE\nPROTOCOL WAS FOLLOWED . THE\nINSPECTOR WOULD NOTIFY BOTH\nPARTIES OF THE OUTCOME OF THE\nINVESTIGATION. IF IT IS DEEMED\nTHAT THERE WAS A VIOLATION A\nCITATION WOULD BE ISSUED TO THE\nWHOLESALE BUSINESS. THE FIRST\nVIOLATION IS $7500. THE SECOND\nWOULD BE $10,000 IF THAT\nHAPPENED IN THAT FIRST 12\nMONTHS. THE CITATIONS CAN BE\nAPPEALED . THEY WOULD HAVE 10\nDAYS TO DO THAT . THAT IS THE\nPLAN AT THIS TIME. I WOULD BE\nHAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.\nSINCE WE ARE HAVING THIS: SINCE WE ARE HAVING THIS\nCONVERSATION, HOW LONG CAN YOU\nSTICK AROUND FOR THE\nCONVERSATION?\nI AM AVAILABLE: I AM AVAILABLE.\nTRACY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING\nTO ADD.\nTHE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD IS: THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD IS\nA QUESTION TO THE EXECUTIVE. IT\nTALKS ABOUT USING AN EXISTING\nSTAFF PERSON FOR 2025. NOTHING\nABOUT 2026 . I AM WONDERING HOW\nYOU PLAN TO APPROACH THAT. THE\nONLY OTHER COMMENT I HAD WAS\nBECAUSE THERE IS A SLIGHT\nDIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE\nSTATE WILL BE IMPLEMENTING AND\nWHAT THE CITY WILL BE\nIMPLEMENTING, JUST MAKING SURE\nWE INFORM PEOPLE OF CITY\nREQUIREMENTS VERSUS THE STATE\nBECAUSE WE DO HAVE MORE\nSTRINGENT REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS\nOF THIS NOTICE. THE CITY HAS\nPROVISIONS THAT ARE STRICTER\nTHAN THE STATE. MAKING SURE\nPEOPLE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THOSE\nDIFFERENCES AND THE NEED TO\nCOMPLY WITH THE CITY\nREQUIREMENTS.\nAT THIS POINT CONSUMER: AT THIS POINT CONSUMER\nPROTECTION FEELS WE HAVE ENOUGH\nINSPECTORS TO ABSORB COMPLAINTS\nCOMING IN. THE ROLE OF THE\nSTRATEGIC ADVISOR PROBABLY WOULD\nBE FINE AND 2025. IN 2026 WE\nANTICIPATE ABSORBING THE WORK.\nWHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS SEE\nWHAT KIND OF NUMBERS WE ARE\nSEEING. THERE'S A LOT OF\nUNKNOWNS ABOUT WHAT IMPACTS THEY\nARE SEEING. AS SOMEBODY WHO\nLIVES IN THE CITY OF SEATTLE I\nKNOW I PROBABLY GET 15 TO 20\nSOLICITATIONS PER MONTH . THAT\nIS ONE WAY I'M LOOKING TO SEE\nWHERE THESE ARE COMING FROM, HOW\nTO INFORM THEM. IS IT FROM\nCERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT IS\nWHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO. AT\nTHIS POINT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE\nTHE FINANCIAL NEED FOR SUPPORT.\nI GET A LOT OF THOSE AS WELL: I GET A LOT OF THOSE AS WELL.\nTHEY GO STRAIGHT IN THE TRASH.\nTHERE IS A PRESS RELEASE THIS\nMORNING FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE\nABOUT THIS. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT\nTHE SAME THING. WHAT ACTION IF\nANY DO YOU NEED THE COUNCIL TO\nTAKE?\nWE HAVE TRANSMITTED: WE HAVE TRANSMITTED\nLEGISLATION. FOR THESE TO GO\nINTO EFFECT WE WOULD NEED\nCOUNCIL TO VOTE ON THE\nLEGISLATION AT SOME POINT.\nIS THERE A TIMELINE BY WHICH: IS THERE A TIMELINE BY WHICH\nTHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? OTHER\nTHAN SOONER RATHER THAN LATER?\nPREFERABLY BEFORE THE BUDGET: PREFERABLY BEFORE THE BUDGET\nPROCESS STARTS. WHEN I\nUNDERSTAND YOU DO NOT TAKE UP\nADDITIONAL LEGISLATION.\nAGAIN, JUST TRYING TO FIGURE\nOUT TIMING, GIVEN, HOW THEY WILL\nSHAKE OUT IN ORDER TO GET THINGS\nROLLING AND GET IT IN PLACE. IT\nIS NOT LIKE THE HUD THING . I'M\nJUST WONDERING IF THERE IS A\nDROPDEAD DATE FOR THIS OTHER\nTHAN DO IT BEFORE WE START DOING\nBUDGET STUFF.\nNO. OUR PREFERENCE IS THAT IT\nDOES GET ADOPTED BEFORE BUDGET.\nANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?\nJUST AN OVERARCHING COMMENT: JUST AN OVERARCHING COMMENT.\nI'M PLEASED THIS IS COMING\nBEFORE US. IT'S AN ISSUE I'VE\nCONTINUED TO HEAR ABOUT. I KNOW\nTHAT FOLKS HAVE FELT A BIT OUT\nOF SORTS LIKE WHAT IS SOMETHING\nWE CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE.\nUNDERSTANDING IT IS HARD TO\nMEASURE THE SCALE OF THE ISSUE.\nIT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD INITIAL\nFIRST STEP FOR US TO START\nCOLLECTING INFORMATION AND\nUNDERSTANDING THE PERVASIVENESS\nOF IT, COMMON TACTICS, WHO SOME\nOF THESE FOLKS ARE,\nUNDERSTANDING THIS IS A FIRST\nSTEP AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO\nLEARN AS WE GET SOME OF THIS\nINFORMATION. I AM CURIOUS ABOUT,\nAS WE MOVE FORWARD HOW WE WILL\nPLAN TO FURTHER ENGAGE WITH THE\nEXISTING COMMISSION OR SOME OF\nTHE KEY STAKEHOLDER GROUPS IN\nTHE COMMUNITY THAT MIGHT HAVE A\nGOOD UNDERSTANDING. INKING ABOUT\nLEGACY BLACK HOMEOWNERS. THE\nMAYOR'S COUNCIL FOR\nAFRICAN-AMERICAN ELDERS AND\nOTHER APPROPRIATE COMMISSIONS AS\nWELL. I WOULD ASSUME PART OF\nTHAT EDUCATION WOULD BE PART OF\nWHAT THEY ARE DOING. AS PART OF\nTHE EXECUTIVE ORDER WE ALSO HAVE\nA WHOLE SECTION ON BETTER\nCOORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION\nAMONG DEPARTMENT TO GET THE WORD\nOUT GENERALLY ABOUT THE MANY\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT PROGRAMS THE\nCITY IS FUNDING. WHAT WE LEARNED\nTHROUGH THE REVIEW OF OUR WORK\nIS THAT A LOT OF FOLKS ARE NOT\nFAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THESE\nPROGRAMS SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE\nWE DO A BETTER JOB CONNECTING\nPEOPLE WITH THESE PROGRAMS AND\nTHOSE THAT NEED THE MOST ARE\nAWARE OF THEM AND THE COMMUNITY\nARE AWARE OF THEM. THOSE WHO\nWILL ARE WORKING WITH VULNERABLE\nPOPULATIONS CAN HELP GET OUT THE\nWORD AND THESE WILL BE ADDED TO\nTHE LIST ASSUMING COUNCIL PASSES\nTHIS LEGISLATION OF THINGS WE\nCAN BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR AND\nHELPING MITIGATE CONCERNS.\nI'M WONDERING IF THERE IS\nBUILDING ON THAT POINT IN TERMS\nOF GETTING THE WORD OUT. IF\nTHERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO TIE THIS\nTO EXISTING PROGRAMS WITH GROUPS\nTHAT MAY BE MORE IMPACTED BY\nTHIS. FOLKS THAT MAY BE ENROLLED\nIN THE UTILITY DISCOUNT PROGRAM,\nI'M THINKING ABOUT EXISTING\nCHANNELS SO WE CAN ATTACH THIS\nINFORMATION . IF WE HAVE THOUGHT\nABOUT CONNECTING WITH THE COUNTY\nIF THERE IS AN EXEMPTION FOR\nPROPERTY TAXES FOR SENIORS IF WE\nCAN SEE IF WE CAN USE THEIR\nCHANNELS TO BE SURE FOLKS THAT\nARE ACCESSING THIS TO BE SURE.\nI'M HAPPY TO COME BACK TO\nCITY COUNCIL AND TALK ABOUT WHAT\nTHE COMMUNICATION PLAN IS ONCE\nWE PULL IT TOGETHER. I THINK\nSOME OF THAT WORK IS HAPPENING\nNOW. I REALLY APPRECIATE SOME OF\nTHAT. I THINK IT IS CONSISTENT\nWITH WHERE WE ARE GOING.\nTHOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS AND: THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS AND\nCOMMENTS.\nA FEW WEEKS BACK WE DID THE: A FEW WEEKS BACK WE DID THE\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT RESOURCE AT\nTHE RAINIER BEACH COMMUNITY\nCENTER. BASICALLY EDUCATING\nFOLKS ABOUT WHAT RESOURCES EXIST\nTO HELP THEM STAY IN THEIR HOMES\nWHETHER IT IS DISCOUNTS, HOME\nREPAIR, NO-COST OR LOW-COST\nLOANS. A LOT OF THE PROVIDERS\nTHAT WERE THERE FROM HOMEOWNERS\nTO UNITED WAY TO HABITAT FOR\nHUMANITY , INCLUDING OUR OWN\nCITY DEPARTMENTS, A LOT OF FOLKS\nDID NOT WANT -- DID NOT KNOW\nWHAT THEY PROVIDED. IT WAS AN\nEDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE TO FIND\nOUT WHO ELSE DOES WANT TO HELP\nPEOPLE STAY IN THEIR HOMES. I\nTHINK ABOUT WHEN WE HAD THE\nATMOSPHERIC RIVER A COUPLE YEARS\nAGO. I HAD FLOODING IN MY\nBASEMENT. THE PRICE TAG FOR THAT\nADDED UP IN TERMS OF MITIGATION\nAND THE FIXES AND THE WHOLE BIT.\nFORTUNATELY I HAD ACCESS TO MY\nDEFERRED COMP I COULD DIP INTO\nTO OFFSET THE COSTS. I THINK\nABOUT THE NEIGHBOR TWO DOORS\nDOWN IN HER 90s. SHE DOES NOT\nHAVE THAT LIQUID. SO THAT IS\nWHERE I AM LOOKING AT THESE\nPREDATORY FOLKS WHO SAY WE KNOW\nYOU HAD AN ISSUE. WE WILL GIVE\nYOU X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS FOR YOUR\nHOUSE AND IT IS WORTH THREE OR\nFOUR TIMES MORE. THAT IS THE\nKIND OF THING WE WANT TO SQUASH.\nI AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS\nBEING VOTED ON . ANYTHING ELSE\nTO ADD ?\nI WOULD JUST SUGGEST. YOUR\nCOLLEAGUES WOULD BE AWARE ABOUT\nTHIS PROPOSAL BECAUSE\nCOUNCILMEMBER WILL HAD PROPOSED\nLOOKING AT A PROGRAM IN SOME\nSORT. THIS IS SQUARE IN RESPONSE\nTO WHAT SHE WAS THINKING. YOUR\nCOLLEAGUES MAY BE AMENABLE TO AN\nEXPEDITED PROCESS GIVEN THAT\nTHEY SUPPORTED IT DURING THE\nLAST BUDGET PROCESS AS A\nPROPOSED SOLUTION.\nWHEN WE ARE ACTUALLY IN: WHEN WE ARE ACTUALLY IN\nCOMMITTEE WE WILL HAVE THE\nPROCESS . AS WE ARE JUST HAVING\nA CONVERSATION, WE WANT TO THINK\nHOW WE CAN MOVE THINGS FORWARD .\nSO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I\nGUESS THE COMMUNITY CONVERSATION\nIS TIME TO GO TO LUNCH.\nCAN I JUST SHARE SOME REMARKS: CAN I JUST SHARE SOME REMARKS\nI WANT TO THANK YOU FOR LEADING\nUS THROUGH THIS PROCESS. YOU ARE\nSERVING AS CHAIR ON THIS\nCOMMITTEE AS AN INTERIM BASIS. I\nWANT TO THANK YOU FOR GOING\nABOVE AND BEYOND TODAY. YOU DID\nNOT HAVE TO HAVE A COMMUNITY\nMEETING TODAY. WE COULD HAVE\nJUST SAID CORAM IS NOT HERE. WE\nWILL CALL IT ANOTHER TIME. YOU\nSHARE THE VALUE THAT I SHARE\nWHICH IS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE\nHEARD AND WE SHOULD BE SURE THIS\nCOMES BEFORE THE COMMUNITY TODAY\nAND IS RECORDED FOR THE PUBLIC\nTO SEE. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR\nYOUR LEADERSHIP. IT MEANS A LOT\nTO ME AND I THINK IT MEANT A LOT\nFOR THE PEOPLE THAT CAME BEFORE\nUS TODAY. WITH THAT BEING SAID\nWE ARE HERE PERFORMING OUR\nCHARTERED RESPONSIBILITIES TO BE\nIN COMMITTEE AND DOING THIS\nWORK? WHERE'S THE COUNCIL\nPRESIDENT AND WHERE IS\nCOUNCILMEMBER SAKA?

I WANT TO ECHO\nWITH THE CHAIR SAID. THANK YOU\nFOR TAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR\nDAY TO COME DOWN. I'M\nDISAPPOINTED WE ARE UNABLE TO\nTAKE ACTION TODAY, LOSING QUORUM\nFIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING.\nIT FEELS SUSPECT. AS THE ONLY\nRENTER AS PART OF THIS BODY I\nTHINK IT'S TREMENDOUSLY\nIMPORTANT THAT RENTER\nPERSPECTIVES ARE HURT SO WE WANT\nTO BE SURE WE HEAR FROM YOU\nTODAY AT THE VERY LEAST. CHAIR,\nI DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO\nTAKE A MOMENT TO INVITE THE\nPROSPECTIVE APPOINTEES TO THE\nTABLE ARE WE WANT TO TRY TO USE\nTHE MICROPHONES AT THE PUBLIC\nCOMMENT AREA, I WILL LET THAT BE\nYOUR DECISION BUT I WANT TO\nVOICE AGAIN MY GRATITUDE FOR\nEVERYONE TAKING TIME TO BE HERE\nTODAY. WE WILL MAKE SURE\nEVERYONE IS HEARD. THANK YOU,\nCHAIR.\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE ARE\nJUST HAVING A COMMUNITY\nDISCUSSION. PLEASE JOIN US AT\nTHE TABLE . WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN\nTHE FIRST ITEM OF BUSINESS, YES.\n[ INAUDIBLE - LOW VOLUME ]\nTHANK YOU, CHAIR SOLOMON AND\nCOUNCILMEMBER RINCK FOR HAVING\nUS AT THIS DISCUSSION. IF IT'S\nOKAY WITH YOU MAYBE WE CAN START\nWITH THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.\nTHESE ARE PEOPLE THAT WERE\nSUBMITTED FOR APPOINTMENTS. THEY\nWOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THEIR\nBIOS AND WHY THEY ARE INTERESTED\nSERVING ON THE COMMISSION. I\nTHINK WE ARE JOINED BY A FEW\nPEOPLE ONLINE AS WELL. I CAN\nREAD OUT ANY OF THE REMAINING\nBIOS .\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH. FOR OUR\nEDIFICATION, PLEASE INTRODUCE\nYOURSELF . AS YOU GO AROUND, WE\nWANT TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE.\nI AM LAURA JENKINS WITH THE\nSEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF\nNEIGHBORHOODS.\nMY NAME IS LIZ. I'M A\nRESIDENT OF DISTRICT FOUR ,\nEDGEWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M HERE\nTO GIVE A COUPLE OF INTRODUCTORY\nTHOUGHTS ABOUT BEING PART OF THE\nCOMMISSION . JUST SOME THINGS TO\nSAY. I AM A RENTER IN THE CITY.\nI HAVE ENCOUNTERED A LOT OF THE\nCHALLENGES MANY OF US FACE\nNAVIGATING RESOURCES. TRYING TO\nADAPT TO RISING COSTS AND\nSEARCHING FOR SUPPORT AND A LOT\nOF THE OVERWHELMING SYSTEMS .\nPROFESSIONALLY, I WORK IN\nINFORMATION MANAGEMENT. MY DAILY\nWORK IS VERY MUCH INVOLVED IN\nSIMPLIFYING COMPLEX INFORMATION\nAND MAKING IT ACCESSIBLE FOR\nEVERYONE. THIS IS SOMETHING I\nWOULD LOVE TO FOCUS ON AS PART\nOF THE COMMISSION, TAKING THAT\nINFORMATION OUT THERE AND MAKING\nIT ACCESSIBLE FOR FOLKS. I'VE\nALSO HAD A LOT OF WORK IN\nCOMMUNITY OUTREACH AND CIVIC\nENGAGEMENT, MOSTLY VOTER\nENGAGEMENT AS WELL AS SUPPORTING\nISSUE CAMPAIGNS WHERE I LIVED\nPREVIOUSLY BEFORE I MOVED TO\nSEATTLE . THAT IS SOMETHING I\nWOULD LOVE TO DO HERE AS A\nRESIDENT OF THE CITY. I LOVE TO\nHELP OTHERS AND EMPOWER FOLKS.\nAS PART OF THIS COMMISSION MUCH\nOF IT WOULD BE MAKING SURE\nPEOPLE HAVE THE RESOURCES THEY\nNEED AND KNOW HOW TO USE THEM.\nTHANK YOU.\nGOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR\nHEARING US . MY NAME IS ALLAN\nFRANCIS. I AM A RENTER. MY\nPROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND, BOARD\nOF DIRECTORS SEATTLE HOUSING\nRESOURCES . THE NEIGHBORS\nEDUCATION FUND. WHY AM I HERE? A\nYEAR AGO I WAS ABLE TO SIGN THE\nRENTAL AGREEMENT TO LIVE IN THE\nROOSEVELT DISTRICT. THAT IS\nPRETTY SPECTACULAR TO ME BECAUSE\nIT HAD BEEN AT LEAST 12 YEARS\nBECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO SEE MY\nNAME ON A RENTAL AGREEMENT SO\nTHAT WAS HUGE. A LITTLE BIT OF\nBACKGROUND. TRAIN OF THOUGHT.\nLIVED EXPERIENCE WITH\nHOMELESSNESS , DISABILITY, EVERY\nDAY POVERTY . IN 2002 I HAD A\nBRIEF RUN THROUGH WITH THE\nCRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND\nMENTAL HEALTH . I AM ON\nMEDICATION , PARTICIPATING IN\nTHERAPY. I AM ON THE OTHER SIDE\nOF IT. WHY AM I APPLYING FOR THE\nRENTERS COMMISSION? PEOPLE WHO\nARE OFTEN UNHEARD FOR VARIOUS\nREASONS BECAUSE OF THE STRUGGLES\nOR BECAUSE THEY PERCEIVE\nTHEMSELVES NOT CAPABLE BECAUSE\nOF THE STRUGGLES. I WANT TO HAVE\nA SEAT AT THE TABLE TO HELP WITH\nRESOURCES FOR THOSE PEOPLE AND\nMAYBE ALONG THE WAY ENCOURAGE\nSOMEBODY TO FIND THEIR VOICE AND\nSIT AT THIS TABLE TOMORROW AND\nBE THAT VOICE. THANK YOU VERY\nMUCH.\nTHANK YOU.\nGOOD MORNING. I USE HE/AND\nPRONOUNS. I AM SUPER EXCITED TO\nBE A POTENTIAL APPOINTEE FOR THE\nSEATTLE RENTERS COMMISSION.\nGROWING UP I DID NOT LIVE IN A\nSTABLE HOME. I EVENTUALLY ENTER\nTHE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM AND I WAS\n17 YEARS OLD. WE TALK ABOUT\nSTATISTICS WERE FOSTER YOUTH\nFALL THROUGH THE CRACKS . FOR ME\nTHANKFULLY FOSTER CARE SAVED MY\nLIFE. PEOPLE LIKE YOU GAVE ME AN\nOPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE MY\nSTABILITY. THANK YOU. THE POLICY\nYOU PAST REALLY DOES SAVE LIVES.\nTHIS WORK IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE\nTAKEN LIGHTLY. I'VE BEEN\nBLESSED WITH AN AMAZING CAREER\nSINCE EXITING FOSTER CARE. I\nEXITED INTO HOMELESSNESS. WHEN I\nWAS 20 YEARS OLD, I WAS NEARING\nTHE AGE CLIFF FOR THE FOSTER\nCARE SYSTEM WHICH IS 21 YEARS\nOLD. I TRIED CALLING RESOURCE\nAFTER RESOURCE FOR SUPPORT BUT\nNOTHING CAME THROUGH. I ENTERED\nHOMELESSNESS UNTIL I SAVED UP\nENOUGH MONEY TO MOVE INTO AN\nAPARTMENT. IT WAS AN AFFORDABLE\nMICRO STUDIO . I CAN SAY WITHOUT\nA DOUBT THAT THE MICRO STUDIO\nEVEN THOUGH IT WAS 190 SQUARE\nFEET, SAVED MY LIFE. I AM EAGER\nTO WORK WITH YOU ALL AND\nIDENTIFY SOLUTIONS TO LIFT MORE\nPEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY THROUGH\nHOUSING. MORE PEOPLE IN SEATTLE\nRENT THEN OWN A HOME. THERE'S A\nLOT OF OPPORTUNITY AHEAD AND WE\nARE REALLY THANKFUL TO THE TWO\nOF YOU FOR BEING WILLING TO\nCOLLABORATE. WE HOPE THE OTHER\nCOUNCILMEMBERS WILL FOLLOW SUIT.\nTHANK YOU FOR BEING A LEADER AND\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR\nRENTERS AND THANK YOU FOR\nSTANDING UP FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE\nHOUSING INSECURE.\nTHANK YOU.\nGOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS\nJULISSA SANCHEZ. SHE/HER\nPRONOUNS. I HAVE BEEN PART OF\nTHE SEATTLE RENTERS COMMISSION\nFOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. BEFORE\nTHAT I WORKED FOR THE TENANTS\nUNION AS A TENANTS RIGHTS\nEDUCATOR AND COMMUNITY\nORGANIZER. IT WAS DURING THE\nFIRST TRUMP ADMINISTRATION . A\nLOT OF MY COMMUNITY, THE\nUNDOCUMENTED MEXICAN LATINO\nMIXED STATUS COMMUNITY WERE\nTHREATENED BY LANDLORDS FOR\nI.C.E. TO BE CALLED ON THEM IF\nTHEY KEPT ASKING FOR REPAIRS. A\nLOT OF THEM RECEIVED A PAY OR\nVACATE OR VACATE AND EVICTION\nNOTICES BECAUSE THEY KEPT ASKING\nFOR TENANT PROTECTIONS AND\nRIGHTS. EXCUSE ME. BECAUSE I AM\nPERSISTING THROUGH A COLD . I AM\nHERE TO BE REINSTATED TO THE\nSEATTLE RENTERS COMMISSION\nBECAUSE EQUITY AND ACCESSIBILITY\nTO RENTERS WHO ENGLISH IS NOT\nTHEIR FIRST LANGUAGE OR WHO MAY\nNOT SPEAK ENGLISH AT ALL ARE\nOFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE TABLE OR\nOUT OF ACCESS TO DIFFERENT\nRESOURCES. I THANK YOU FOR\nHOLDING THIS MEETING TODAY AND I\nAM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT WE DID\nNOT MEET QUORUM BECAUSE WE HAVE\nBEEN WAITING FOR TWO YEARS TO\nEXPAND THE SEATTLE RENTERS\nCOMMISSION IT DOES SEEM VERY\nDISRESPECTFUL. IT IS VERY\nDISRESPECTFUL AND SEEMS QUITE\nSUSPECT OR IT JUST ACTUALLY\nDEMONSTRATES . I AM QUITE\nEMOTIONAL ABOUT THAT. I AM HERE\nBECAUSE I'M FIERCE AND I'M\nHERE BECAUSE I'M A STRONG\nADVOCATE FOR RENTERS AS A SINGLE\nMOM OF A STUDENT AT GARFIELD\nHIGH SCHOOL. I FIGHT TOOTH AND\nNAIL TO STAY IN CAPITOL HILL SO\nHE CAN STAY WITH HIS FRIENDS. I\nWANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ALL\nSINGLE MOMS THAT ARE WORKING\nREALLY HARD TO STAY IN HOUSING.\nWE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED FROM\nSEATTLE FROM WHEN I WAS A YOUNG\nPERSON AS THE CENTRAL DISTRICT\nWITH GENTRIFICATION AND NOW\nBECAUSE THE RENT ARE TOO HIGH. I\nAM HERE TO PASS THE MIC QUITE\nLITERALLY TO OTHER TENANTS WHO\nMAY NOT HAVE A SEAT AT THIS\nTABLE.\nGOOD MORNING . MY NAME IS E.\nMANDISA SUBIRA. PART OF THE\nREASON WHY I AM SO EXCITED TO BE\nPART OF THE COMMISSION AND WAS\nEXCITED WHEN I WAS APPOINTED A\nYEAR AND A HALF AGO AND HAVE\nBASICALLY HAD TO JUST SIT IN\nMEETINGS AND NOT BE ABLE TO\nPARTICIPATE, NOT BE ABLE TO\nBRING MY SKILLS TO THE TABLE,\nNOT BE ABLE TO BRING MY WISDOM\nTO THE TABLE. AS A FILMMAKER AND\nSTORYTELLER NOT BEING ABLE TO\nTELL THE STORIES OF THE RENTERS\nIN OUR CITY . I LOOK AT THINGS\nAS A COMPLETE WHOLE PERSPECTIVE.\nI KNOW AND UNDERSTAND . I FIND\nIT QUITE DISINGENUOUS THAT WE\nHAVE A STADIUM COLD CLIMATE\nPLEDGE ARENA BUT THERE'S NO\nCOMMITMENT TO BUILDING\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH SAFE AND\nSUSTAINABLE EQUIPMENT AND\nBUILDING MATERIALS SO THAT\nPEOPLE DO NOT GET SICK IN THESE\nBUILDINGS AND THEN THEY BECOME A\nBURDEN ON OUR MEDICAID SYSTEM.\nTHERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT\nNEED TO BE CONSIDERED . NOT JUST\nTHE RENTER, BUT LOOKING AT THEM\nAS A HOLISTIC PERSON IN A\nHOLISTIC ENVIRONMENT . I ALSO\nHAVE PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE I USED\nTO BE A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT\nPERSON IN COMPTON, CALIFORNIA.\nI'VE BEEN AN ACTIVIST ALL\nAROUND THE COUNTRY. I FEEL THAT\nANY PLACE THAT HAS THE AUDACITY\nTO NAME THEM -- THEMSELVES AFTER\nMARTIN KING -- MARTIN LUTHER\nKING JR. COUNTY THEY SHOULD BE\nFOCUSED ON VISION. THE ONLY WAY\nYOU CAN BUILD A VISION IS WITH\nCOMMUNITY WORKING TOGETHER WITH\nTHE POLITICIANS WHO I FEEL THAT\nWE HAVE A LOT OF TREASURES AND\nWE HAVE A LOT OF WONDERFUL\nCOMMUNITY MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY\nRESOURCES WE COULD BE TAPPING\nINTO. FOR THE POLITICIANS, NOT\nNECESSARILY UNDERSTANDING THAT\nWE ARE HERE TO HELP AND WE WANT\nTO BUILD COMMUNITY AND WE WANT\nTO BUILD A VISION THAT IS WORTHY\nOF THE REASON THAT WE BUILT THE\nSPACE NEEDLE IN THE FIRST PLACE\nIS TO BE A BEACON AND AN EXAMPLE\nFOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.\nCAN WE MOVE TO ONLINE? SALLY.\nI AM SALLY KINNEY . THIS WILL\nBE MY FIRST TENURE WITH THE\nSEATTLE RENTERS COMMISSION. AS\nBACKGROUND, I GREW UP IN\nCALIFORNIA. QUITE A LONG YEARS\nAGO IN AN AREA OF MONTEREY\nCOUNTY THAT WAS THE GROWING\nCAPITOL OF THE COUNTRY. IT WAS\nALSO AT THAT TIME HOME TO PEOPLE\nFROM MEXICO AND FURTHER SOUTH\nWHO LIVED IN SALINAS AND WORKED\nTHE FIELDS . I WENT TO SCHOOL\nWITH THEIR CHILDREN . I SAW THE\nLIVING CONDITIONS THERE. THIS\nWAS BEFORE CESAR CHAVEZ, BEFORE\nANY CONCERN OF THE GREATER\nCOMMUNITY ABOUT THE LIVING\nSITUATIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WORK TO\nHELP US GET OUR FOOD . THEY\nLIVED IN SHACKS OUT IN THE\nFIELDS RUN BY THE GROWERS . NO\nELECTRICITY, NO PLUMBING .\nCHILDREN WERE OFTEN SICK. WHEN I\nWAS VERY YOUNG I HAD GROWN UP IN\nAN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE'S\nLIVING SITUATIONS WERE REALLY\nPRETTY BAD EXCEPT FOR THOSE OF\nUS WHO DID NOT HAVE TO WORK IN\nTHE FIELDS AND HAD OFFICE JOBS\nOR OUR PARENTS HAD OFFICE JOBS.\nTHEY WERE ALSO PEOPLE WHO HAD\nCOME, FAMILIES WHO HAD COME FROM\nARKANSAS AND OKLAHOMA. THEY\nLIVED IN SHACKS RIGHT ON THE\nSALINAS RIVER AND WERE FLOODED\nJUST ABOUT EVERY YEAR. THEN I\nMOVED TO SACRAMENTO AND STARTED\nWORKING FULL-TIME AFTER HIGH\nSCHOOL . NO MONEY FOR COLLEGE\nBECAUSE OF OUR FAMILIES DIVORCE\nSITUATION. THEN I MOVED TO\nSEATTLE. MY FIRST CHILD WAS\nDIAGNOSED AS AUTISTIC AND HAD\nOTHER MEDICAL SITUATIONS. SO I\nHAVE BEEN HER ADVOCATE SINCE SHE\nWAS BORN AND WORRIED ABOUT\nHOUSING FOR HER WHEN SHE GOT\nOLDER. SHE IS LIKELY NOW IN A\nGOOD HOUSING SITUATION. A\nWONDERFUL ORGANIZATION .\nHOWEVER, MANY PEOPLE IN HER\nSITUATION ARE NOT LIVING IN A\nGOOD SITUATION. THEY ARE STILL\nIN THE CARE OF THEIR AGING\nPARENTS WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT\nWHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THEIR\nCHILDREN WHEN THEY GO. I HAVE\nBEEN WORKING FOR THE LAST 20\nYEARS WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT\nARE CONCERNED WITH HOMELESSNESS\nBECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN MY FOCUS.\nTHAT IS THE ENDPOINT OF NOT\nHAVING A PLACE TO LIVE IS\nLITERALLY ON THE STREETS. I LIVE\nIN LAKE CITY IN DISTRICT 5 . I\nHAVE BEEN A FOUNDING MEMBER OF\nTHE LAKE CITY TASK FORCE ON\nHOMELESSNESS ALMOST 20 YEARS\nAGO. I'M A FORMER BOARD MEMBER\nOF THE SEATTLE KING COUNTY\nCOALITION ON HOMELESSNESS AND\nOTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND I'M\nCURRENTLY ON THE BOARD OF CAMP\nUNITED WE STAND. AND AUTHORIZED\nENCAMPMENT BETWEEN SEATTLE AND\nTHE NORTH KING COUNTY AREA. WE\nDO NOT HAVE ANY SUPPORT FROM\nPOLITICAL ENTITIES. NO GRANT\nMONEY AND NONE OF THE\nMUNICIPALITIES THAT WE MOVE\nAROUND TO FUND US. SO WE ARE\nBASICALLY THE ORGANIZERS AND\nFIDUCIARIES AND EVERYTHING FOR\nOUR CAMP. I SEE PEOPLE COME INTO\nTHE CAMP FROM ALL SORTS OF\nBACKGROUNDS WHO HAVE FALLEN INTO\nHOMELESSNESS AND ARE TRYING VERY\nHARD TO GET OUT. I AM VERY\nCONCERNED BECAUSE WE ARE NOT\nGOING TO HAVE ANY HELP FROM THE\nFEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WE\nESSENTIALLY ARE IT . THE CITY\nTHE STATE AND OTHER\nMUNICIPALITIES IN WASHINGTON\nSTATE ARE UNDER THE GUN BOTH FOR\nPROVIDING RESOURCES AT A TIME\nWHEN THEIR BUDGETS ARE REALLY\nSTRANGE. I WANT TO WORK WITH THE\nCOMMISSION TO TRY, IN SEATTLE AT\nLEAST TRY TO KEEP PEOPLE HOUSED,\nKEEP RENTERS HOUSED BECAUSE\nRENTERS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE IN\nDANGER AND TO BRING THE CITY TO\nRECOGNIZE THAT THAT MAY BE THE\nMOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO\nHERE NOW IS TO KEEP PEOPLE\nHOUSED, KEEP THEM OFF THE STREET\nAND MAKE IT EASIER FOR RENTERS\nTO CONTINUE BEING RENTERS .\nTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US\nTODAY. I AM REALLY EAGER TO WORK\nWITH THE COMMISSION ON THIS SAD\nSITUATION.\nTHANK YOU, SALLY. KATE.\nGOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. MY\nNAME IS KATE RUBIN. I'M ONE OF\nTHE INTERIM COCHAIRS OF THE\nSEATTLE RENTERS COMMISSION. I'M\nONE OF FIVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN\nHOLDING THE COMMISSION DOWN OVER\nTHE LAST 18 MONTHS. I'M ALSO\nSOMEBODY WHO WORKS WITH RENTERS\nIN MY DAILY WORK AT THE SEATTLE\nWE DO RENTER EDUCATION AND\nORGANIZING AND EMPOWER RENTERS\nTO GET MORE CYNICALLY INVOLVED\nBECAUSE WE ARE BEING\nSYSTEMICALLY SHUT OUT OF CITY\nHALL WHICH FEELS LIKE SUCH A\nPERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT, OF HOW\nOUR VOICES REALLY DO NOT MATTER\nTO THOSE IN POWER . I LIVE IN\nDISTRICT 2. I AM A VOTER AND\nACTIVELY ENGAGED IN SEEING MY\nCOUNCILMEMBER YET AGAIN , BEING\nDISRESPECTED AND SHUT OUT AND\nNOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE\nTHINGS FORWARD IN A VERY\nINTENTIONAL WAY. I AM FEELING\nVERY -- I AM ANGRY ABOUT ALL OF\nTHIS. -- I DO FEEL AN OBLIGATION\nTO SEATTLE RENTERS TO HOLD IT\nDOWN . I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD\nTO HAVING A FULLY SEATED\nCOMMISSION WHERE WE COULD TRY TO\nMOVE POLICY . THE TEAM HAD\nSIMILAR BACKGROUNDS AND LIFE\nEXPERIENCES . IT TAKES A DIVERSE\nGROUP OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE,\nDIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES,\nDIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND\nNEIGHBORHOODS TO REALLY\nREPRESENT THE SPECTRUM OF\nRENTERS. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS NOT\nGOING TO HAPPEN TODAY. MIGHT NOT\nHAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THIS\nIS REALLY HARD . WE ARE FUNDED\nBY THE CITY OF SEATTLE . NOT\nJUST FROM MY JOB BUT ACROSS THE\nBOARD, 40%. RENTERS ARE REALLY\nSTRUGGLING . I'M DOING OKAY NOW\nBECAUSE I AM EMPLOYED BUT I HAVE\nTO LOOK AS GO LIVE WITH A\nROOMMATE. WE WOULD BE IN DIRE\nSTRAITS IF WE LOST OUR JOBS. MY\nFAMILY IS GOING THROUGH A LOT OF\nTURMOIL . MY YOUNGER BROTHER HAD\nTO MOVE IN WITH MY AGING PARENTS\nAFTER A SERIES OF DISASTERS AND\nPROBABLY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO\nMOVE OUT ANYTIME SOON . IT IS\nREALLY SCARY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT\nTHE FUTURE HOLDS ESPECIALLY WITH\nALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE\nHAPPENING AT A NATIONAL LEVEL.\nTHEY ARE ATTACKING OUR TRANS\nNEIGHBORS AND IMMIGRANT AND\nREFUGEE NEIGHBORS. ANYONE WHO\nMIGHT BE DIFFERENT OR MIGHT BE\nAN EASY TARGET. THANK YOU FOR\nINVITING ME TO THIS TABLE TODAY.\nI WISH IT WERE UNDER BETTER\nCIRCUMSTANCES.\nLYDIA. AFTER LYDIA, LAUREN\nYOU SAID WE HAVE SOME FOLKS THAT\nARE NOT ABLE TO JOIN US THAT YOU\nWANT TO SPEAK ABOUT. IN THE\nINTEREST OF TIME I KNOW THAT WE\nHAVE SOMEONE WHO HAS SOMETHING\nTO PRESENT WHO DOES HAVE A HARD\nSTOP. WE WANT TO BE SURE WE GET\nTO THAT . IF WE COULD JUST TAKE\nA COUPLE MOMENTS TO TELL US\nABOUT YOU AND YOUR INTEREST IN\nBEING ON THE COMMISSION. THEN WE\nWILL MOVE ON TO THE INFORMATION\nABOUT THOSE WHO ARE NOT HERE.\nI AM LYDIA FELTY. I USE\nSHE/HER PRONOUNS . I'M THE\nCURRENT COCHAIR. I LIVE IN\nDISTRICT 3 AND A LIFELONG\nRENTER. I WORK IN THE NONPROFIT\nSECTOR. BEFORE THAT I WAS A\nTEACHER. WORKING WITH FOLKS FROM\nDIFFERENT PLACES AND AGE GROUPS\nAND CIRCUMSTANCES. I'VE BEEN ON\nTHE RENTERS COMMISSION FOR ABOUT\nTWO YEARS. I AM A STANDARD\nMAYORAL EMPLOYED T -- APPOINTEE.\nONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO\nMENTION TODAY IS KATE AND I HAVE\nBEEN INTERIM COCHAIRS FOR A YEAR\nNOW. WHEN THE PAST COCHAIRS,\nWHEN THEIR TENURE ENDED, WE WERE\nDECIDING ON NEW COCHAIRS BUT\nTHERE WERE ONLY FIVE OF US AND\nSEVERAL PENDING SO IT DID NOT\nFEEL RIGHT FOR US TO ELECT OUT\nOF SUCH A SMALL GROUP WHO WOULD\nBE THE COCHAIRS BEFORE THESE\nPENDING COMMISSIONERS WERE ABLE\nTO FILL IN THOSE ROLES. SO WE\nJUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO\nCELEBRATED OUR ONE YEAR\nANNIVERSARY OF BEING COCHAIRS\nWITH THE SAME FIVE COMMISSIONERS\nON BOARD AND THE NOTE THAT ONE\nIS MOVING FOR GRAD SCHOOL SOON\nSO WE ARE ABOUT TO BE DOWN TO\nFOUR. WE HAVE HAD -- I CHECKED\nTHE RECORD. WE RECOMMENDED IFOR\nAPPOINTMENT IN NOVEMBER 2023. MY\nCOLLEAGUES AND HOPEFUL\nCOLLEAGUES HAVE SHARED SO MANY\nSALIENT POINTS. I ECHO EVERY BIT\nOF ANGER AND FRUSTRATION AND\nPASSION. I KNOW THAT WE ARE\nSHORT ON TIME BUT AS WE COME UP\nON THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY TWO\nLETTERS THAT WERE SENT TO CITY\nCOUNCIL, I WANTED TO READ A\nCOUPLE NOTES FROM IT. THIS WAS\nSENT AUGUST 4, 2024. WE ARE\nWRITING TO DEMAND IMMEDIATE\nACTION REGARDING THE\nLONG-OVERDUE APPOINTMENTS TO THE\nSEATTLE RENTERS COMMISSION.\nDESPITE OUR REQUEST SINCE THE\nBEGINNING OF THE YEAR, THE\nCOMMITTEE CHAIR HAS YET TO\nREVIEW COMMISSIONER APPOINTMENTS\nAND ADD IT TO AGENDAS. THIS IS\nUNACCEPTABLE AND UNDERMINES THE\nREPRESENTATION OF MORE THAN HALF\nTHE SEATTLE POPULATION. WE HAVE\nONLY SIX COMMISSIONERS OF THE\nMANDATED 16. THE LACK OF BLACK\nCOMMISSIONERS IS ESPECIALLY\nCONCERNING GIVING SEATTLE'S\nHISTORY OF GENTRIFICATION. THE\nCURRENT COMPOSITION FAILS TO\nREFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF OUR\nCITY . I WILL EDITORIALIZE FOR A\nMOMENT TO ADD THE CURRENT\nCLIMATE STATE AND TRULY NATIONAL\nSTATE OF EMERGENCY WE ARE IN AND\nHOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANT ALL OF\nTHESE THINGS , OUR WORK IS AND\nPUTTING POLICIES IN PLACE\nBECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE\nMORE RENTERS COMING. OUR ROLE\nINCLUDES ISSUES ON POLICIES FOR\nRENTERS SUCH AS HOUSING\nAFFORDABILITY , ECONOMIC\nDEVELOPMENT. THE COUNCIL OF\nBLACK ENGAGEMENT SHOWS A\nMISGUIDED VIEW THAT IT CAN BE\nIGNORED RATHER THAN A VALUABLE\nCOLLABORATOR FOR THE COMMUNITY.\nTHIS IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE\nGOVERNMENT OF OUR CITY. THE\nHOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES\nCOMMITTEE MUST PRIORITIZE THE\nCOMMITMENT OF NEW COMMISSIONERS\nIMMEDIATELY. THE ONGOING NEGLECT\nNOT ONLY HAMPERS OUR WORK BUT\nALSO INSULTS THE COMMUNITIES WE\nAIM TO SERVE. I WILL JUST CLOSE\nWITH A THANK YOU FOR THE\nGRATITUDE THAT WE ARE ALL HERE.\nWE WERE FINALLY PUT ON THE\nAGENDA. I THINK THAT IS\nNOTEWORTHY . JUST AGAIN ECHOING\nTHE DISAPPOINTMENT, ANGER,\nFRUSTRATION AND PARTICULARLY FOR\nME THINKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO\nI'M SURE TOOK TIME OFF WORK AND\nARE PHYSICALLY AT CITY HALL IN\nPERSON ON WEDNESDAY MORNING ONLY\nTO HAVE THE MEETING DELAYED,\nDELAYED, AND CANCELED AND NOW\nBACK INTO THIS LIMBO OF NOT\nKNOWING WHEN OR WHETHER\nAPPOINTMENTS WILL BE MADE. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU.\nLAURA.\nI JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU\nTO ALL OF THE POTENTIAL\nAPPOINTEES THAT ARE HERE IN\nPERSON, ONLINE. THANK YOU FOR\nSHARING YOUR STORIES AND BEING\nHERE. I WILL JUST READ THROUGH.\nTHERE ARE SIX REMAINING\nAPPOINTEES. I WILL JUST READ OUT\nTHEIR BIOS AND NAME THEM. JUST\nLET ME KNOW AT ANY POINT IF YOU\nNEED TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT\nPORTION. I AM LAURA JENKINS THE\nSTAFF LIAISON FOR THE RENTERS\nCOMMISSION. I WORK IN THE\nDEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS.\nFIRST, WE HAVE ADORA BLUE. A\nRENTER LIVING IN PINEHURST.\nRAISED IN A WEALTHY NEIGHBORHOOD\nAND SO, AND MOVED TO SEATTLE\nWHERE SHE EXPERIENCED RENTING IN\nA LARGE VARIETY OF AREAS AND\nARRANGEMENTS. SHE BECAME\nINVOLVED IN HOUSING ACTIVISM IN\n2020 AND INSPIRED THE COVID-19\nMUTUAL AID EFFORTS. EVENTUALLY\nJOINED THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT\nB SEATTLE A LOCAL NONPROFIT.\nMORE RECENTLY SHE STARTED\nMULTIPLE RENT -- EFFORTS TO HELP\nTRANS PEOPLE FLEEING FROM\nPERSECUTION IN OTHER STATES WHEN\nTHEY MOVED TO WASHINGTON AND\nSPECIFICALLY SEATTLE. LEADING TO\nCREATING A CATCH NETWORK FOR\nTEMPORARY HOUSING TO RELOCATE\nTRANS-FOLKS WHO OFTEN WOULD\nOTHERWISE END UP UNANNOUNCED.\nTRANS PEOPLE ARE AND ESPECIALLY\nHOUSING INSECURE POPULATION DUE\nTO THE PREVALENCE OF LOSING\nACCESS TO FAMILY HOMES AND THE\nFAMILY SUPPORT THAT WOULD ALLOW\nFOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT. IT'S\nALSO THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE THAT\nMAKES SEATTLE A HARD PLACE TO\nMOVE TO FOR DISADVANTAGED\nPEOPLE. SHE WANTS TO REDUCE\nBARRIERS AND MAKE SEATTLE NOT\nJUST SAFE BUT ALSO ACCESSIBLE\nFOR TRANS PEOPLE, DISABLED\nPEOPLE AND PEOPLE BEING FORCED\nTO LEAVE THEIR HOMES DUE TO\nREGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT. NEXT UP\nIS KASEY BURTON. CASEY IS AN\nEXPERIENCED LANDLORD-TENANT LAW\nATTORNEY WOULD LIKE TO\nCONTRIBUTE LEGAL SKILLS AND\nSHAPE POLICIES TO ASSURE TENANTS\nRIGHTS AND ENSURE FAIR\nPRACTICES. SHE CAN ADVOCATE FOR\nSTRONGER LEGAL PROTECTIONS, HELP\nIDENTIFY GAPS IN CURRENT LAWS\nAND OFFER EXPERT LEGAL INSIGHT\nON ISSUES LIKE EVICTION\nPREVENTION AND OTHER STANDARDS.\nJOINING THE COMMISSION ALSO\nPROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO\nCOLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITY\nLEADERS, STAKEHOLDERS AND OTHER\nPROFESSIONALS TO CREATE MORE\nEQUITABLE HOUSING ENVIRONMENT\nFOR RENTERS. NEXT IS ANGELA\nO'BRIEN. RAISED IN SEATTLE AND\nPASSIONATE ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE\nDRIVEN BY A DEEP BELIEF IN\nFAIRNESS AND EQUALITY. WITH A\nBACKGROUND IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING\nAND GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING SHE\nBRINGS THE UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE TO\nSOCIAL JUSTICE BY ADVOCATING AND\nEDUCATING. HER COMMITMENT TO\nPOSITIVE CHANGES DEMONSTRATED\nTHROUGH ORGANIZING COMMUNITY\nOUTREACH PROGRAMS AND\nINFLUENCING POLICY CHANGE. AS A\nCASE MANAGER FOR GOODWILL\nDEDICATED TO FUTURE GOALS,\nCREATING A MORE JUST AND\nEQUITABLE WORLD FOR ALL. KAREN\nTAYLOR IS A DISABLED RENTER IN\nTHE BEACON HILL AREA. LIVING ON\nA FIXED INCOME FROM SSDI AND HER\n20 YEARS AS A RENTER HAS DEALT\nWITH VARIOUS ISSUES SUCH AS LACK\nOF ACCESSIBLE UNITS, HAVING TO\nSPEND 70% OF INCOME ON RENT AND\nTHE CONSTANT NEED TO FIND NEW\nROOMMATES TO AFFORD A PLACE TO\nLIVE. SHE RENTS FROM A SMALL\nLANDLORD AND IS PASSIONATE ABOUT\nRENTER PROTECTIONS INCLUDING\nRENTERS RENT FROM LANDLORD TO\nMANAGE ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF\nPROPERTIES AND EXTENDING TO SUB\nLETTERS. AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE\nTRANSIT WRITERS UNION . SHE\nIMAGINES A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE\nWHO NEEDS THEM HAS ACCESSIBLE\nUNITS AND CAN LIVE ON THEIR OWN\nIF THEY SO CHOOSE. SAMUEL\nWOLFSON HAS LIVED IN SEATTLE HIS\nENTIRE LIFE AND SAW FIRSTHAND\nTHE EXPLOSION OF GROWTH THAT\nCAME WITH THE NEWFOUND POSITION\nAS A HUB FOR TECHNOLOGY. AS\nSOMEONE WHO LOVES SEATTLE AND\nWANTS TO SEE IT THRIVE HE\nUNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF\nMAKING HOUSING AFFORDABLE,\nWELCOMING AND PLENTIFUL FOR THE\nINCREASINGLY LARGE NUMBER OF\nPEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE HERE.\nLAST UP WE HAVE ANDREW , A\nDEDICATED ADVOCATE FOR EQUITY,\nPUBLIC HEALTH, AND HOUSING\nJUSTICE WITH DEEP ROOTS IN\nSEATTLE'S COMMUNITY, ORGANIZING\nAND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. AS A\nRENTER AND LONGTIME LEADER IN\nLGBTQ PLUS ADVOCACY, THEY HAVE\nCONSISTENTLY WORKED TO ELEVATE\nTHE VOICES OF MARGINALIZED\nVOICES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.\nFROM SERVING ON THE COMMISSION\nTO LEADING STATEWIDE EFFORTS\nTHROUGH THE WASHINGTON STONEWALL\nDEMOCRATS, ANDREW HAS CHAMPIONED\nPOLICIES THAT ADDRESS HOUSING,\nHEALTHCARE AND RACIAL JUSTICE.\nTHEIR PASSION FOR HOUSING IT\nSTEMS FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE\nAND PROFESSIONAL WORK SUPPORTING\nVULNERABLE POPULATIONS. ANDREW\nBELIEVES HOUSING IS HUMAN RIGHT\nAND THEY ARE COMMITTED TO\nADVANCING POLICIES TO PRINT --\nPREVENT DISPLACEMENT AND PROTECT\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL. THEY\nSEEK TO SERVE ON THE RENTERS\nCOMMISSION TO BRING LIVED\nEXPERIENCE, POLICY AND SITE AN\nUNWAVERING ADVOCACY TO THE TABLE\nENSURING RENTERS ARE NOT ONLY\nHEARD BUT EMPOWERED IN SHAPING\nTHE FUTURE OF THE CITY. THOSE\nARE ALL OF THE REMAINING\nAPPOINTEES WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO\nMAKE IT. ANDREW WAS HERE AT CITY\nHALL BUT ENDED UP LEAVING AFTER\nSOME OF THE DELAYS. HE DID\nATTEMPT TO BE HERE AS WELL.\nAGAIN, THANK YOU FOR\nPRESENTING ON THOSE FOLKS.\nCOUNCILMEMBER RINCK, DO YOU HAVE\nANY COMMENTS?\nTHANK YOU. AS WAS MENTIONED,\nTHE RENTERS COMMISSION HAS NOT\nHAD APPOINTMENTS IN ABOUT A YEAR\nAND A HALF. IT'S MY WORKING\nUNDERSTANDING THAT NO OTHER\nCOMMISSION HAS EXPERIENCED THIS\nPROFOUND OF A CHALLENGE WHEN IT\nCOMES TO APPOINTMENTS BY THIS\nBODY. I WANT TO SAY ON BEHALF OF\nTHIS BODY I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO\nEACH OF YOU. FOR EVERYONE WHO\nHAS COME IN PERSON AND ALSO\nTHOSE ONLINE. I WANT TO\nAPOLOGIZE TO EACH OF YOU FOR NOT\nBEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD\nTODAY. THIS IS SO DISRESPECTFUL\n. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO READ THIS\nAS ANYTHING OTHER THAN\nINTENTIONAL SUPPRESSION OF\nREPRESENTATION. SEATTLE IS A\nMAJORITY RENTER CITY. I AM THE\nONLY MEMBER OF THIS BODY THAT IS\nA RENTER. WE ARE THE MAJORITY\nAND RENTERS ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY\nTO BE DISPLACED AND EXPERIENCE\nHOMELESSNESS. WORKING PEOPLE ARE\nBEING DISPLACED FROM THIS CITY\nEVERY DAY AS WE FAIL TO ADDRESS\nTHE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS. WE\nHAVE BEEN IN A STATE OF\nEMERGENCY ON HOMELESSNESS FOR\nYEARS. WE ARE LOSING FEDERAL\nRESOURCES FOR HOUSING AND HUMAN\nSERVICES. I KNOW THAT WE WILL\nHEAR A PRESENTATION TODAY ON\nSOME OF THE FEDERAL RESOURCES\nBUT THAT IS CRITICAL ACTION WE\nCANNOT TAKE. THAT IS $30 MILLION\nWE HAVE NOT LOST YET . MEMBERS\nOF THIS BODY CONTINUED TO STATE\nTHEY ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT\nLOSING FEDERAL FUNDING AND WE\nARE THE ONES THROWING THIS INTO\nJEOPARDY. I WANT TO REMIND FOLKS\nTHAT FOR ANYONE WHO IS TUNED IN\nRIGHT NOW, THIS IS NOT A\nCOMMITTEE MEETING . IT'S JUST A\nCOMMUNITY MEETING. IT IS THE\nCOUNCIL MEMBERS CHARTERED\nRESPONSIBILITY TO BE AT THESE\nMEETINGS. THIS IS LITERALLY OUR\nJOB. I FIND IT DEEPLY\nFRUSTRATING THAT PEOPLE TOOK\nTIME TO LEAVE THEIR JOBS IN THE\nMIDDLE OF THE DAY AND YET NOT\nEVERY MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE\nCOULD SHOW UP TO DO THERE'S. I\nKNOW WE ARE ON A TIME CRUNCH. WE\nMISSED CRITICAL TIME AND I'M\nMINDFUL THAT WE HAVE TIME\nCONSTRAINTS. I WANT TO CONTINUE\nTHE CONVERSATION WITH EACH OF\nYOU TO BE SURE WE ARE FULLY\nUNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES\nTHAT RENTERS EXPERIENCE AT THIS\nTIME. YOU HAVE MY COMMITMENT\nTHAT WE WILL MAKE SURE WE SEE\nTHROUGH THESE APPOINTMENTS AND\nTHERE'S NO ADDITIONAL DELAY .\nWITH THAT SAID, I HAVE TO CLOSE\nBY EXPRESSING MY DEEP\nFRUSTRATION WITH THE SITUATION\nWE FIND OURSELVES IN TODAY AND I\nCALL ON OUR COLLEAGUES TO DO\nBETTER.\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH. I ALSO\nWANT TO APOLOGIZE THAT WE ARE\nNOT ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD ON\nADVANCING YOUR NAMES AT THIS\nTIME . I APOLOGIZE FOR YOU\nTAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY\nTO COME DOWN HERE AND BE\nFRUSTRATED. I WANT TO ECHO THAT\nWE NEED TO DO BETTER . I WANT TO\nTHANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, THANK\nYOU FOR BEING WILLING TO GIVE OF\nYOUR TIME TO DO THIS WORK\nVOLUNTARILY. IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT\nYOUR CHARACTER THAT YOU ARE\nWILLING TO GIVE YOUR TIME, YOUR\nENERGY, YOUR EFFORT TO ADVOCATE\nFOR FOLKS AND NOT GET PAID FOR\nIT . THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK\nYOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR\nSACRIFICE. THANK YOU FOR BEING\nHERE TODAY. AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE\nWE ARE NOT ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD\nAT THIS TIME. WITH THAT, I HOPE\nTHAT YOU ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR\nDAY . THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR\nBEING HERE.\nI HAVE ONE MORE QUICK NOTE.\nI JUST WANTED TO ADD A QUICK\nNOTE OF THANKS TO THE END OF THE\nLIST JUST CALLING OUT LORI\nJENKINS OUR CITY LIAISON. IT IS\nDUE TO LAURA ESPECIALLY AT A\nCAPACITY OF FIVE COMMISSIONERS\nTHE RENTERS COMMISSION IS ABLE\nTO STILL GET THINGS DONE. I JUST\nWANTED TO GIVE A HUGE SHOUT OUT\nTO HER FOR BEING HERE, ALL OF\nHER HARD WORK AND REPRESENTING\nTHE PENDING COMMISSIONERS WHO\nWERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TODAY.\n[APPLAUSE].\nLAURA DESERVES THAT APPLAUSE.\nTHANK YOU SO MUCH. OUR NEXT\nPERSON , IF WE CAN HAVE YOU COME\nUP PLEASE. THE OTHER -- CAN THE\nOTHER PROSPECTIVE APPOINTEE COME\nFORWARD PLEASE?\nGOOD MORNING . MY NAME IS\nJANET STAFFORD. I'M WITH THE\nSEATTLE OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS.\nIN OUR OFFICE WE HAS\nCOMMISSIONS, SPECIFICALLY THE\nSEATTLE DISABILITY COMMISSION\nWHO HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN THE\nLAST 15 YEARS, ADVOCATING FOR\nDISABILITY JUSTICE. TODAY WE\nHAVE WITH US A RECOMMENDED\nCOMMISSIONER, SCOT NELSON THAT\nHAS BEEN AN ACTIVE MEMBER FOR\nTHE LAST FEW MONTHS. I WOULD\nLIKE TO PASS IT ON TO HIM TO\nSHARE SOME WORDS.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH. FIRST\nOFF I WOULD LIKE TO SAY INFINITE\nSOLIDARITY WITH THE RENTERS\nCOMMISSION FOLKS. THERE'S A\nREASON WHY HOUSING AND HUMAN\nSERVICES ARE PAIRED TOGETHER.\nDISABILITY, HOMELESSNESS,\nQUESTIONS OF HOW WE HELP PEOPLE\nIN HARD TIMES ARE INTRINSICALLY\nLINKED. I WANT TO RESPECT THAT.\nMY NAME IS SCOT NELSON, NO\nRELATION. I USE HE/HIM PRONOUNS\nAND WORK FOR THE CITY OF\nSEATTLE. I AM NOT THE NELSON\nWITH TUTEES IN THE FIRE\nDEPARTMENT . I WORK FOR THE\nDEPARTMENT OF RECREATION. AT THE\nCOMMUNITY CENTER. I GREW UP IN\nSOUTH TACOMA. FOR THE LAST FIVE\nYEARS I HAVE LIVED IN DISTRICT 2\nIN THE CID AS A CARLESS RENTER.\nI'M ALSO SOMEONE WHO LIVES WITH\nAND HAS MANY LOVED ONES WITH\nDISABILITIES. I HAVE BEEN\nNOMINATED TO THE DISABILITY\nCOMMISSION WHICH IS AN\nINCREDIBLE HONOR. I SEEK TO BE\nCONCERNED -- CONFIRMED SO I CAN\nLEVERAGE MY DATA SCIENCE AND\nCOMMUNITY BACKGROUND AND MY\nUNIQUE POSITION AS A CITY OF\nSEATTLE EMPLOYEE TO ASSIST THE\nCOMMISSION TO AMPLIFY EFFORTS IN\nADVOCACY, TRANSPORTATION AND\nEMPLOYMENT. I BELIEVE HOW WE\nCREATE AXIS POINTS AND PROVIDE\nRIGHTS TO DISABLED FAMILY AND\nNEIGHBORS IS A KEY INDICATOR FOR\nHOW SOCIETY IS GOING AS A WHOLE.\nAS A YOUNG PERSON IT IS\nSOMETIMES HARD NOT TO BE CYNICAL\nI THINK THAT WE ARE COOKED.\nMYSELF AND MANY OTHER YOUNG\nFOLKS WHO I ENCOURAGE TO APPLY\nTO THE DISABILITY COMMISSION\nCANNOT STOP FIGHTING ANYWAYS.\nTHAT IS WHY I WOULD LIKE TO BE\nPART OF THIS FANTASTIC\nCOMMISSION WITH INCREDIBLE\nMEMBERS SUPPORTED BY SUCH A\nWONDERFUL PERSON AS JADEN\nSTAFFORD.\nTHANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR\nOUR POTENTIAL COMMISSIONER?\nCOMMENTS?\nTHANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I\nAM SORRY . I APPRECIATE YOUR\nSERVICE TO OUR COMMISSION. I\nSUPPOSE JUST A GENERAL QUESTION,\nHOW ARE YOU HOPING TO SEEK\nCOUNCIL ENGAGE WITH THE\nCOMMISSION. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK\nLIKE AND HOW CAN WE DO BETTER?\nI THINK IN GENERAL I WOULD\nLIKE TO SEE A LOT MORE\nAFFIRMATIVE STEPS TAKEN IN THE\nREALM OF CREATING ACCESS AND\nLEGISLATION THAT CITY COUNCIL\nPUTS FORWARD. OFTEN TIMES WHEN\nWE THINK ABOUT DISABILITY ACCESS\nWE THINK ABOUT IT IN A VERY\nREACTIVE OR LEGALISTIC SENSE .\nWE THINK ABOUT ADA COMPLIANCE\nAND WE THINK ABOUT IT WITH THE\nCOMPLIANCE FRAMEWORK. JUST\nTALKING ABOUT IT AS THINGS THAT\nPEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO.\nTALKING ABOUT THE RIGHTS PEOPLE\nHAVE TO ACCESS. WHEN IT COMES TO\nTRANSPORTATION OR JOBS, PEOPLE\nWITH DISABILITIES HAVE THE SAME\nRIGHT AS ANYBODY ELSE DOES. WHEN\nWE THINK ABOUT HOW WE LEGISLATE\nTHAT ARE HOW WE DISTRIBUTE\nRESOURCES, THINKING ABOUT IT IN\nTHOSE TERMS AS OPPOSED WILL BE\nLEGALLY PUNISHED IF WE DO NOT DO\nTHIS. I THINK THAT WOULD GO A\nLONG WAY TOWARDS PEOPLE'S\nCONCEPTION OF WHAT A GOOD\nSOCIETY IS.\nI REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. I\nTHINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE\nTHAT THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY IS\nA COMMUNITY THAT ANYONE CAN\nBECOME A MEMBER OF.\nDARN NEAR EVERYONE DOES.\nIT'S A MULTIFACETED SPECTRUM\nAND SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AS\nSORT OF AN INEVITABILITY OF\nAGING AND EXISTING IN A SOCIETY\nESPECIALLY WHERE A LOT OF FOLKS\nDON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. A\nLOT OF FOLKS LACKS SAFE ACCESS\nTO TRANSIT. WHILE WE CELEBRATE\nDISABILITY AS A UNIQUE PART OF\nWHO PEOPLE ARE, THERE IS A LOT\nOF TRAUMA AND TRAGEDY THAT COMES\nWITH UNEXPECTED DISABILITY AND\nCOMES WITH THE REALLY BAD THINGS\nTHAT CAN SUDDENLY HAPPEN TO EACH\nAND EVERY ONE OF US.\nCAN I JUST ADD ONE QUICK\nNOTE. SCOTT WILL BE OUR SEVENTH\nMEMBER ON THE BOARD ONCE\nAPPOINTED . IT IS A SMALL GROUP\nOF FOLKS. WE DO HAVE NEWLY\nAPPOINTED COCHAIRS WHO HAVE\nALREADY DONE A MEET AND GREET\nWITH A COUNCILMEMBER. I WILL\nJUST SHOUT OUT . I KNOW THAT\nTHEY WANT TO CONTINUE THAT\nEFFORT THIS YEAR. I'M SURE THEY\nWOULD LOVE TO MEET WITH ALL OF\nYOU. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU\nFOR BEING HERE AGAIN. APOLOGIES\nFOR THE DELAY. I KNOW YOU HAVE\nBEEN HERE THE ENTIRE TIME.\nAPOLOGIES THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE\nTO VOTE ON YOUR NOMINATION TO\nPROCEED FORWARD . IT WILL HAPPEN\nSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR\nWILLINGNESS TO VOLUNTEER AND\nSTEP UP. IT DOES SAY A LOT SO\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH.\nTHANK YOU.\nWHAT DO WE HAVE NEXT? NEXT IN\nTHE COMMUNITY MEETING IS TALKING\nABOUT THE HUD ACTION PLAN. DO\nYOU ALL HAVE A HARD STOP?\n11:55.\nHOPEFULLY WE WILL NOT TAKE\nTHAT LONG.\nI APPRECIATE THE\nCONSIDERATION. READY?\nYES.\nGOOD MORNING COUNCILMEMBER: GOOD MORNING COUNCILMEMBER\nSOLOMON, COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. I\nWORK FOR THE HUMAN SERVICES\nDEPARTMENT. I AM HERE TO TALK\nTODAY ABOUT THE 2025 ANNUAL\nACTION PLAN. JUST TO BE UPFRONT\nABOUT THIS, RECOGNIZING THE\nNATURE OF TODAY'S MEETING, WHAT\nI WILL BE PRESENTING DOES HAVE\nSOME REFERENCES TO LEGISLATION\nAND COUNCIL PROCESS. THEY ARE\nDESCRIPTIVE. I'M JUST TELLING\nTHE STORY OF HOW WE GOT TO WHERE\nWE ARE TODAY. WE ARE HERE\nBECAUSE THE VOTE TO APPROVE THIS\nPLAN WILL ALLOW HST TO MEET A\nSUBMISSION DEADLINE TO THE\nFEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING\nAND URBAN DEVELOPMENT . THE\nDEADLINE IS AUGUST 16. LAST\nDECEMBER WE PRESENTED ON THE\nDRAFT 2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN\nAND HELD A PUBLIC HEARING. THAT\nPLAN INCLUDED ESTIMATED FUNDING\nALLOCATIONS . WE RECEIVED THE\nFINAL FUNDING ALLOCATIONS IN\nMAY. WE HAVE PREPARED\nLEGISLATION APPROVING THE 2025\nANNUAL ACTION PLAN . IN A SENSE\nTHIS ACTION PLAN CAN BE SEEN AS\nA SPENDING PLAN. I AM HERE TODAY\nTO SHARE THE SPENDING PLAN FOR\n2025 HST GRANT FUNDING. WHAT WE\nWILL DO TODAY. WE WILL REVIEW\nTHE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANNUAL\nACTION PLAN, TOUCH ON SOME KEY\nMILESTONES AND DATES LEADING UP\nTO THE 2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN\nSUBMITTAL. WE WILL GIVE A\nHIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW OF PROJECTS\nTHAT THESE GRANTS SUPPORT. THEN\nI WILL OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS.\nALLOCATIONS IN THE 2025 ANNUAL\nACTION PLAN ARE ESTABLISHED\nFUNDING GOALS AND PRIORITIES\nTHAT WERE DOCUMENTED IN THE 2024\nTO 2028 CONSOLIDATED PLAN. THAT\nPLAN AND THE GOALS THERE AND\nWERE ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL\nIN OCTOBER 2023. THE CITY\nCOUNCIL ALSO APPROVED THIS\nYEAR'S PLAN ALLOCATIONS AS PART\nOF THE 2025 BUDGET PROCESS. THE\nLEGISLATION WE HAVE PREPARED AND\nWILL LATER BRING TO COUNCIL\nMATCHES THE TWO PREVIOUSLY\nADOPTED PLANS WITH ACTUAL 20 $25\nMADE AVAILABLE TO THE CITY\nTHROUGH THE FEDERAL BUDGET\nPROCESS. THOSE ARE THE\nALLOCATIONS I MENTIONED EARLIER.\nHST IS THE GRANTEE ON BEHALF OF\nTHE CITY OF SEATTLE FOR THIS\nFUNDING. HST COORDINATES THE\nDEVELOPMENT OF THE ANNUAL\nSPENDING PLAN THAT IS REQUIRED\nFOR THESE FOUR FORMULA GRANTS\nADMINISTERED . WE WILL TALK\nABOUT THOSE PROGRAMS LATER IN\nTHE PRESENTATION. THE TIMELINE\nON THE SLIDE REFLECTS A STANDARD\nPROCESS THAT HST UNDERTAKES IN\nFULFILLING THE REQUIREMENTS AND\nPARTICIPATING IN THESE FOUR\nPROGRAMS. THESE ARE THE KEY\nDATES LEADING UP TO PLAN\nCOMPLETION AND SUBMITTAL BY THE\nAUGUST 16 STATUTORY DEADLINE. AS\nI MENTIONED, HST WILL SEEK\nAPPROVAL TO MAKE THIS DEADLINE\nAND RECEIVE THE 2025 GRANT\nFUNDS. THE 2024 TO 2028\nCONSOLIDATED PLAN IS A FRAMEWORK\nFOR THE ACTION PLAN. IT HAS FIVE\nKEY POLICY PRIORITIES WHICH WERE\nADOPTED WHEN THE PLAN WAS\nRATIFIED IN 2023. I WILL JUST\nREAD THOSE TO THE RECORD. THESE\nARE SERVICES TO PREVENT PEOPLE\nFROM EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.\nADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE\nIMPACTED BY MENTAL HEALTH AND\nSUBSTANCE USE WHICH IS IMPORTANT\nIN LIGHT OF THE OPIOID AND\nFENTANYL CRISIS. TO INCREASE\nECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB\nRETRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW\nAND MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS\nAND THOSE DISADVANTAGED AND\nRECOVERING FROM RECENT ECONOMIC\nSTABILITY. FINALLY, TO INCREASE\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS.\nRELATED TO THESE PRIORITIES, THE\n2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN WITH'S\nSPECIFIC INVESTMENTS TO ADDRESS\nTHE OPIOID AND FENTANYL CRISIS.\nTHAT IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE\nMAYOR'S PRIORITIES. THIS SHOWS\nTHE DIFFERENCE IN ALLOCATIONS\nRECEIVED IN 2024 AND 2025 FOR\nTHE PROGRAMS THAT I REFERENCED A\nFEW SLIDES BACK. ALL OF THESE\nPROGRAMS ARE ADMINISTERED BY\nHUD. THEY ARE THE COMMUNITY\nDEVELOPMENT LOCK GRANT , HOME\nINVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS,\nEMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT . I\nWILL BRIEFLY DEFINE EACH OF THEM\nFOR YOUR REFERENCE. THIS PROGRAM\nENCRYPTS -- IMPROVES THE\nECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL\nENVIRONMENT TO ENHANCE THE\nQUALITY OF LIFE FOR LOW AND\nMODERATE INCOME RESIDENTS. THE\nHOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP\nPROVIDES FUNDING THAT SUPPORTS\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR LOW AND\nMODERATE INCOME FAMILIES. THIS\nTHE ONLY PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE\nLIVING WITH HIV AND AIDS. THE\nEMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT\nASSISTS PEOPLE WITH QUICKLY\nREGAINING STABILITY AND\nPERMANENT HOUSING AFTER\nEXPERIENCING A HOUSING CRISIS\nAND/OR HOMELESSNESS. GENERALLY,\nTHE 2025 AMOUNTS REFLECT\nAPPROXIMATELY A 1% DIFFERENCE\nFROM THE 2024 AWARD. WE DO NOT\nANTICIPATE THIS WILL HAVE ANY\nSIGNIFICANT IMPACTS. A SLIGHT\nEXCEPTION IS THE EST FUNDING\nWHERE WE SEE THE 4% REDUCTION\nFROM THE 2024 ALLOCATION. THIS\nIS USED TO FUND RAPID REHOUSING\nWHICH IS A CATEGORY WE TYPICALLY\nSEE UNDER SPENT. NO ANTICIPATED\nIMPACT FROM THIS SLIGHT\nREDUCTION FROM 2024 LEVELS.\nMINOR FLUCTUATIONS LIKE THIS ARE\nTYPICAL AND OVERALL NATIONALLY\nCONGRESS APPROPRIATED LESS TO\nTHIS PROGRAM THIS YEAR. SPEAKING\nOF CONGRESS I WILL HIGHLIGHT\nTHAT THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF\nBIPARTISAN SUPPORT AS IS\nREFLECTED IN THESE ALLOCATIONS\nWHICH DO NOT DIFFER\nSIGNIFICANTLY FROM 2024 LEVELS.\nIN ALIGNMENT WITH THE MIDYEAR\nSUPPLEMENTAL LEGISLATION THAT IS\nSHORTLY BEFORE COUNCIL, THIS\nTABLE SHOWS HOW HST IS\nALLOCATING THIS FUNDING IN THE\n2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. THE TOP\nPART OF THE TABLE SHOWS THE\nINTENT TO ALLOCATE THE 2025\nGRANT AWARDS TOTALING 8.9\nMILLION ACROSS VARIOUS PROJECTS.\nTHE BOTTOM PART OF THE TABLE\nSHOWS 13 POINT 8 MILLION\nREMAINING BALANCE OF DOLLARS\nFROM PREVIOUS FUNDING YEARS AS\nWELL AS THEIR INTENDED\nALLOCATIONS. THE DATA IS IN\nALIGNMENT WITH THE DRAFT 2025\nANNUAL ACTION PLAN THAT WAS\nPASSED LAST DECEMBER. YOU CAN\nSEE AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, ONE\nOF THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN\n2025 IS INCREASED INVESTMENTS IN\nOPIOID TREATMENT STUDIES. THE\nLAST SLIDE WAS LARGELY SPECIFIC\nTO THE FUNDING. THIS WAS\nINTENDED TO SHOW THE PLANNED\nUSES OF FUNDING FROM THE OTHER\nTHREE PROGRAMS. THE FIRST DOES\nREFERENCE THE REVOLVING LOAN\nFUND. WE PRESENT THAT ON THIS\nPAGE BECAUSE IT IS A DIFFERENT\nAND SPECIFIC USE . FOR TECHNICAL\nREASONS IT'S A BETTER FIT HERE.\nBOTH THIS SLIDE AND THE PREVIOUS\nONE ARE CONSISTENT WITH POLICY\nPRIORITIES THAT COUNCIL APPROVED\nIN THE FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED\nPLAN. IMPORTANTLY THEY REFLECT\nOPPORTUNITIES TO SPEND DOWN\nFUNDING IN A MAXIMALLY TIMELY\nMANNER. THESE ALLOCATIONS HAVE A\nTIMELINESS OF EXPENDITURE\nREQUIREMENT THAT WE ARE VERY\nATTENDANT TWO. JUST TO SAY IT\nONE MORE TIME, THE STATUTORY\nDEADLINE TO SUBMIT THE ACTION\nPLAN IS AUGUST 16. I NOTED THAT\nWE WILL SEEK COUNCIL APPROVED\nMEANT TO SUBMIT THE PLAN AND\nSUBSEQUENTLY BE ABLE TO ACCESS\nTHE FUNDING AND SUPPORT THESE\nBODIES OF WORK. THAT IS ALL THAT\nI HAVE FOR YOU TODAY. HAPPY TO\nENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS.\nTHANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.\nCOUNCILMEMBER RINCK, DO YOU HAVE\nQUESTIONS?\nYOU MENTION CONGRESS HAS\nLOWERED THE AMOUNT FOR THIS\nYEAR. COULD YOU JUST REPEAT THAT\nINFORMATION?\nI DON'T KNOW IF LOWERED IS\nTHE TERM OF ART FOR WHAT\nOCCURRED . IT WAS A LOWER\nAPPROPRIATION. THERE COULD BE\nVARIOUS REASONS. THERE'S ALWAYS\nCOMPETITION FOR THIS TYPE OF\nGRANT FUNDING. FROM OUR\nPERSPECTIVE, I DO NOT BELIEVE WE\nARE AWARE OF ANY POLICY CONCERN\nAT THIS TIME. AGAIN, THESE\nFLUCTUATIONS, EVEN THIS 4% ARE\nNOT UNEXPECTED JUST BASED ON\nYEAR-TO-YEAR VARIANCE.\nTHANK YOU FOR BREAKING THAT\nDOWN. UNDERSTANDING WE ARE NOT\nSEEING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES BASED\nON LAST YEAR.\nTHAT IS CORRECT.\nGOOD TO HEAR. I UNDERSTAND\nTHE COUNTY CONVENES THE\nCOMMITTEE. I AM WONDERING OUR\nLEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT. I KNOW\nTHAT IS A GREAT WAY TO\nUNDERSTAND SOME OF THE OTHER\nNEIGHBORING CITIES AND\nUNDERSTANDING THEIR ALLOCATIONS\nAND WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. I KNOW\nTHAT INCLUDES A MULTITUDE OF\nPARTNERSHIPS. HOW ARE WE\nENGAGING AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT\nREGIONAL PARTNERS MAY BE\nEXPERIENCING?\nI DO NOT STAFF THAT BODY OF\nWORK. I WOULD LOVE TO GET SOME\nMORE INFORMATION AND FOLLOW UP\nWITH YOU.\nTHANK YOU.\nMY BOTTOM LINE QUESTION IS\nWHAT IS THE TIMELINE? FIRST,\nWHAT HAPPENS IF THE COUNCIL DOES\nNOT PHONE IN TIME ON THIS?\nIF HST IS NOT ABLE TO SUBMIT\nITS APPLICATION TO HUD ON OR BY\nAUGUST 16, I DO NOT WANT TO SAY\nWE LOSE ACCESS TO THE FUNDING\nBECAUSE I AM NOT SURE THAT IS\nTHE CASE, BUT THERE'S A RISK\nTHAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS\nTHE FUNDING THAT'S BEEN\nALLOCATED ACROSS THESE PROGRAMS.\nSO AUGUST 16 IS YOUR DEADLINE\nTO SUBMIT?\nYES.\nWHAT IS THE COUNCIL DEADLINE\nTO ACT SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR\nDEADLINE?\nI AM NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER\nTHAT QUESTION. I THINK THAT'S A\nCONVERSATION THAT HS THE AND\nTHOSE THAT SUPPORT THE COUNCIL\nNEED TO HAVE TO ENSURE . SINCE\nWE WERE NOT ABLE TO POTENTIALLY\nVOTE THIS ANNUAL ACTION PLAN OUT\nOF COMMITTEE TODAY THAT THERE IS\nA PATH TO THAT TAKING PLACE. I\nKNOW THAT CONVERSATIONS ARE\nBEING HAD.\nTHE LAST THING THAT WE WANT\nTO SEE, 16+ MILL LEFT ON THE\nTABLE BECAUSE WE DID NOT DO\nSOMETHING IN A TIMELY FASHION.\nJUST SAYING.\nI APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU\nVERY MUCH.\nIF WE COULD JUST DO SOME\nFOLLOW-UP, IF NECESSARY UNTIL A\nFULL CHAIR CAN BE SEATED, MAYBE\nTHE VICE CHAIR CAN CALL A\nSPECIAL MEETING I WILL DO THAT.\nIT SEEMS THAT THERE COULD BE\nAT LEAST A COUPLE OF CREATIVE\nOPTIONS THAT WOULD SUPPORT THE\nSUBMITTAL OF AN APPROVED ACTION\nPLAN BY AUGUST 16.\nSINCE WE ARE HAVING A\nCOMMUNITY MEETING DOES THIS HAVE\nTO GO THROUGH THE HOUSING AND\nHUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE?\nI SEE THE CLERK SHAKING HIS\nHEAD. I DON'T BELIEVE IT NEEDS\nTO GO THROUGH THE HOUSE AND AND\nHUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE. DOES\nIT NEED TO GO TO ANOTHER\nCOMMITTEE BEFORE IT CAN GO TO A\nFULL COUNCIL . SO LET'S GET\nCREATIVE. .\nI WANT TO ECHO YOUR\nSENTIMENTS AND MAKE SURE IT IS\nNOT DELAYED. I FULLY SUPPORT ANY\nLEGISLATIVE PATH THAT GET THIS\nDONE ON TIME. I WANT TO THANK\nYOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS.\nTHANK YOU. AGAIN, THANK YOU\nFOR STICKING WITH US TODAY TO\nSTICK IT OUT AND HANGING IN\nTHROUGH THE TIME DELAYS. WHO DO\nWE HAVE NEXT. TO QUOTE THE GREAT\nPHILOSOPHER MARSHAWN LYNCH, WHAT\nIS NEXT? GOOD MORNING.\nGOOD MORNING, COUNCIL\nMEMBERS. WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DO\nINTRODUCTIONS?\nPLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELVES: PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELVES\nFOR THE COMMUNITY MEETING.\nKRISTA FROM THE MAYOR'S\nOFFICE. LAUREN FROM CONSUMER\nPROTECTION DIVISION. TRACY FROM\nTHE COUNCIL STAFF.\nWE ARE HERE TO TALK TO YOU\nABOUT LEGISLATION THE MAYOR\nTRANSMITTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL\nTO REGULATE PREDATORY HOMEBUYING\nPRACTICES. WE HAVE THE DECK THAT\nWE ARE PREPARED TO WALK THROUGH\nWITH YOU. I AM HAPPY TO JUST\nDIVE IN.\nPLEASE.\nLET ME START BY TALKING ABOUT\nWHAT IS PREDATORY HOMEBUYING? IT\nIS WHEN HOMEOWNERS RECEIVE\nUNSOLICITED OFFERS, OFTEN FOR\nCASH FOR SELLERS TO BUY THEIR\nHOMES THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY ON\nTHE MARKET AND NOT LISTED. THIS\nWILL INVOLVE GETTING CALLS,\nLETTERS, POSTCARDS, TEXT\nMESSAGES FROM VARIOUS SELLERS\nSUGGESTING THEY ARE INTERESTED\nIN BUYING SOMEONE'S HOME. THE\nFOLKS MOST AT RISK FOR THESE\nTYPES OF PRACTICES ARE\nVULNERABLE HOMEOWNERS, OFTEN THE\nELDERLY AND FINANCIALLY\nDISTRESSED. THERE IS A STRONG\nINTERSECTION WITH RACE,\nESPECIALLY BLACK LEGACY\nHOMEOWNERS WHO'VE BEEN MOST AT\nRISK FOR THESE TYPES OF\nPRACTICES. IT OFTEN INVOLVES\nHEAVY-HANDED PRESSURE TACTICS.\nTHE END RESULT COULD BE SOMEONE\nSELLING THEIR HOME FOR BELOW\nMARKET VALUE WHICH MEANS THEY\nMIGHT BE GETTING LESS FOR THEIR\nHOME THAN THEY WOULD OTHERWISE\nIF THEY HAVE LISTED IT ON THE\nMARKET. SO WHY ARE WE TACKLING\nTHIS ISSUE NOW? I JUST WANT TO\nPROVIDE SOME CONTEXT. THERE'S A\nMAJOR UPDATE TO THE\nCOMPREHENSIVE PLAN . A LOT OF\nCONCERNS THAT COME WITH THE\nZONING ABOUT DISPLACEMENT\nPRESSURES. IN THAT CONTEXT WE\nHEARD FROM SOME OF THE COMMUNITY\nABOUT CONCERNS ABOUT PREDATORY\nHOMEBUYING PRACTICES. PERHAPS\nTHOSE MIGHT HEAT UP WHEN THE HB\n1110 LEGISLATION TAKES EFFECT\nWHICH THE INTERIM DID A COUPLE\nMONTHS AGO. WE ARE CONCERNED\nABOUT THAT, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT\nYOU CAN ADD MORE HOMES TO WHAT\nWAS TRADITIONALLY A\nSINGLE-FAMILY PARCEL . WE ASKED\nTHE INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE\nTEAM TO DO A REVIEW OF THE\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT PRACTICES. IN\nTHE CITY WE HAVE MANY PROGRAMS\nIN PLACE, BUT THE INNOVATION AND\nPERFORMANCE TEAM IDENTIFIED\nVARIOUS WAYS WE CAN IMPROVE UPON\nOUR CURRENT PROGRAMMING . THE\nEND RESULT OF THAT IS AN\nEXECUTIVE ORDER WE ISSUED TO\nIMPROVE THE EFFICACY OF THE\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT PROGRAMS AND\nFILL IN SOME OF THE GAPS. ONE OF\nTHE GAPS THAT WAS IDENTIFIED WAS\nREGULATING PREDATORY HOMEBUYING\nPRACTICES. MAYOR HARRELL ASKED\nTHE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION\nDEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP\nLEGISLATION TO REGULATE THESE\nPRACTICES. THAT IS A LITTLE BIT\nOF THE CONTEXT ABOUT HOW THIS\nLEGISLATION CAME TO BE. HIGH\nLEVEL OVERVIEW, THE LEGISLATION\nOBLIGATES POTENTIAL BUYERS TO\nDISCLOSE CERTAIN INFORMATION TO\nHOMEOWNERS ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS.\nIT PROVIDES AN OUT FOR\nHOMEOWNERS TO CANCEL A CONTRACT\nAFTER THEY SIGN IT. IT GIVES THE\nCITY THE ABILITY TO FIND\nBUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUALS THAT\nDO NOT COMPLY AND ESTABLISHES\nACTION. I WILL JUST KEEP GOING\nIF THERE ARE NOT ANY QUESTIONS\nWITH A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ABOUT\nWHAT'S IN THE LEGISLATION. FEEL\nFREE TO ASK ME AS I GO. IN TERMS\nOF THE DETAILS, THE PROPOSED\nREGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT\nPOTENTIAL BUYERS OF THESE HOMES\nWHEN THEY ARE ENGAGING WITH\nHOMEOWNERS NEED TO PROVIDE\nVARIOUS DISCLOSURE INFORMATION\nTO HOMEOWNERS ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS\nPRIOR TO SIGNING A PURCHASE\nCONTRACT AS WELL AS WHEN THE\nPURCHASE CONTRACT GOES TO BE\nSIGNED. AT LEAST FIVE DAYS IN\nADVANCE, THE POTENTIAL BUYER\nMUST PROVIDE WRITTEN NOTICE TO\nTHE OWNER OF THE HOME ABOUT HOW\nTO ASSESS THE FAIR MARKET VALUE\nOF THEIR HOME. IT OUTLINES THE\nOWNER'S RIGHT TO APPRAISAL\nWHICH THE POTENTIAL BUYER MUST\nPAY FOR. IT HIRES -- HIGHLIGHTS\nTHE OWNER'S RIGHT TO HIRE A\nREAL ESTATE AGENT AND SEEK LEGAL\nCOUNCIL AND ANY OTHER\nINFORMATION DEEMED APPROPRIATE .\nWHEN IT COMES TO THE PURCHASE\nCONTRACT, THE CONTRACT MUST\nINCLUDE A SEPARATE DISCLOSURE\nDOCUMENT WITH ALL THE\nINFORMATION I JUST COVERED AND\nALSO SPECIFY THAT THE HOMEOWNER\nHAS A RIGHT TO CANCEL THE\nCONTRACT WITHOUT PENALTY.\nREASONABLY THAT WILL INCLUDE\nDETAIL ABOUT HOW LONG THEY HAVE\nTO CONSIDER PURCHASING THE\nCONTRACT WHICH I WILL GET INTO\nIN A MOMENT. THE DISCLOSURE\nNOTICE WILL ALSO INCLUDE CONTACT\nINFORMATION FOR REPORTING\nVIOLATIONS TO THE CITY. AFTER\nSIGNING THE CONTRACT THE OWNER\nCAN HIRE AN APPRAISER EVEN UP TO\n10 DAYS AFTER SIGNING. THE OWNER\nCAN ALSO CANCEL THE CONTRACT\nWITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER\nRECEIVING APPRAISAL. THE OWNER\nCAN CANCEL THE CONTRACT 10 DAYS\nAFTER EXECUTION IF NO APPRAISAL\nIS SIGNED. THERE'S VARIOUS TIME\nPERIODS IN THE LEGISLATION\nTALKING ABOUT WHEN AND HOW THE\nHOMEOWNER CAN CANCEL THE\nCONTRACT WITH NO PENALTY. SO\nTHAT PROVIDES A BUFFER IN THE\nEVENT THE HOMEOWNER HAS SELLERS\nREMORSE OR LEARNS THAT THEIR\nHOME IS WORTH MORE MONEY AND\nPROVIDES ADDITIONAL PROTECTION\nFOR THE HOMEOWNER. OUR\nLEGISLATION CLOSELY ALIGNS WITH\nLEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED BY\nTHE STATE . WHEN WE STARTED TO\nFIRST LOOK AT THIS ISSUE THE\nSTATE LEGISLATION WAS NOT ON OUR\nRADAR. I THINK THE STATE FOR\nSIMILAR REASONS WITH ALL OF THE\nLEGISLATION COMING OUT ALSO\nWANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT\nPREDATORY HOMEBUYING PRACTICES.\nTHE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE\nRECOMMENDED WE TRY TO ALIGN WITH\nTHE STATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO\nAVOID CONFUSION AND DUPLICATION\nOF EFFORTS. IT WAS AT THAT POINT\nWE PIVOTED FROM SOME OF THE\nOTHER IDEAS WE WERE EXPLORING\nAND TOOK A LOOK AT THE STATE\nLEGISLATION. I JUST WANT TO\nHIGHLIGHT THE CITY LEGISLATION\nGOES ABOVE AND BEYOND . FIRST OF\nALL IT IMPOSES MORE STRINGENT\nFINES . IT PROVIDES MORE TIME\nFOLLOWING EXECUTION OF THE\nCONTRACT TO OBTAIN AN APPRAISAL\nAND CANCEL THE CONTRACT. IT HAS\nSTRONGER DOCUMENTATION\nREQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE THE\nSTATEMENTS TO THE HOMEOWNERS ARE\nACTUALLY BEING RECEIVED. IT\nESTABLISHES THAT HOMEOWNERS HAVE\nA RIGHT OF ACTION . THOSE ARE\nALL THE WAYS IN WHICH OUR\nLEGISLATION WHILE TRYING TO\nADHERE TO THE INTENT WE DECIDED\nTO INCREASE SOME PROTECTIONS FOR\nHOMEOWNERS AS WELL. YOU KNOW, WE\nDO NOT AT THIS POINT HAVE A GOOD\nHANDLE ON THE EXTENT OF THE\nPROBLEM. THIS IS ANOTHER WAY FOR\nTHE CITY TO START DOCUMENTING\nTHE EXTENT TO WHICH THESE\nPRACTICES ARE OCCURRING AND\nPEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH\nTHIS PRACTICE. WE ARE LOOKING\nFORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO TRACK\nTHIS MORE CLOSELY. IF ADDITIONAL\nPROTECTIONS ARE NEEDED IN THE\nFUTURE WE WILL BE IN POSITION TO\nDETERMINE THAT. WITH THAT, I\nWANT TO TURN IT OVER TO TALK\nABOUT IMPLEMENTATION.\nGOOD MORNING. FOR THE\nIMPLEMENTATION STEPS, THERE'S A\nCOUPLE OF WAYS THAT WE LOOKED AT\nIT. WE DO NOT HAVE A HANDLE ON\nHOW OFTEN THIS IS HAPPENING. ONE\nOF THE FIRST THINGS WE WILL DO\nIS UPDATE ANY WEBSITE\nINFORMATION. THAT WOULD BE\nINCLUDING THE CONSUMER\nPROTECTION WEBSITE WITH\nINFORMATION FOR THE BUYERS,\nWHOLESALERS, RESIDENTS AND\nHOMEOWNERS ABOUT HOW THIS WILL\nIMPACT THEM, HOW TO REPORT\nCOMPLAINTS AND UP DATE\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION. ONE OF\nTHE THINGS WE ARE LOOKING AT AS\nFAR AS OUTREACH AND EDUCATION,\nSINCE WE DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE\nALL IN SEATTLE, IN THE STATE OR\nTHROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WOULD BE\nTHROUGH MAIL AND PHONE CONTACTS\nAND INFORMATION WE RECEIVED FROM\nRESIDENTS ABOUT WHO THEY MAY\nHAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY FOR\nSELLING THEIR HOME. FOR THE\nOTHER AREAS WE WERE LOOKING AT\nIS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION CARDS\nAT PUBLIC LOCATIONS SUCH AS\nCOMMUNITY CENTERS, CLINICS,\nLIBRARIES, SERVICE CENTERS,\nAREAS WHERE WE ARE REALLY SEEING\nCHANGES AND DEVELOPMENT WITHIN\nTHE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THESE\nHOMES MIGHT BE MORE LIKELY TO BE\n-- AS THOSE AREAS EXPAND. WE\nWOULD ADDITIONALLY USE THE\nLANGUAGE ACCESS THAT IS\nAVAILABLE FOR THE HIGH-LEVEL\nLANGUAGES TO BE TRANSLATED IN.\nWE THINK THAT IS REALLY\nIMPORTANT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS\nTO UNDERSTAND THEIR RIGHTS AND\nSERVICES. THE TRAINING WOULD\nALSO BE FOR LICENSE AND STANDARD\nINSPECTORS AS WELL AS TO WORK\nWITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BUREAU\nAS THEY MANAGE THE BEGINNING OF\nTHOSE CALLS FROM CUSTOMERS WITH\nQUESTIONS. THEY COULD DO IT\nONLINE OR GET THOSE CONCERNS TO\nTHE CONSUMER PROTECTION BUREAU\nTO DO AN INVESTIGATION. AS FAR\nAS THE ENFORCEMENT FOR THIS A\nCOMPLAINT WOULD BE RECEIVED BY\nCONSUMER PROTECTION EITHER\nONLINE, IN PERSON OR THROUGH THE\nPHONE . IT WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO\nAN INSPECTOR. AFTER THAT THE\nINSPECTOR WOULD DO THEIR\nINSPECTION TO SEE IF THE\nPROTOCOL WAS FOLLOWED . THE\nINSPECTOR WOULD NOTIFY BOTH\nPARTIES OF THE OUTCOME OF THE\nINVESTIGATION. IF IT IS DEEMED\nTHAT THERE WAS A VIOLATION A\nCITATION WOULD BE ISSUED TO THE\nWHOLESALE BUSINESS. THE FIRST\nVIOLATION IS $7500. THE SECOND\nWOULD BE $10,000 IF THAT\nHAPPENED IN THAT FIRST 12\nMONTHS. THE CITATIONS CAN BE\nAPPEALED . THEY WOULD HAVE 10\nDAYS TO DO THAT . THAT IS THE\nPLAN AT THIS TIME. I WOULD BE\nHAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.\nSINCE WE ARE HAVING THIS\nCONVERSATION, HOW LONG CAN YOU\nSTICK AROUND FOR THE\nCONVERSATION?\nI AM AVAILABLE.\nTRACY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING\nTO ADD.\nTHE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD IS\nA QUESTION TO THE EXECUTIVE. IT\nTALKS ABOUT USING AN EXISTING\nSTAFF PERSON FOR 2025. NOTHING\nABOUT 2026 . I AM WONDERING HOW\nYOU PLAN TO APPROACH THAT. THE\nONLY OTHER COMMENT I HAD WAS\nBECAUSE THERE IS A SLIGHT\nDIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE\nSTATE WILL BE IMPLEMENTING AND\nWHAT THE CITY WILL BE\nIMPLEMENTING, JUST MAKING SURE\nWE INFORM PEOPLE OF CITY\nREQUIREMENTS VERSUS THE STATE\nBECAUSE WE DO HAVE MORE\nSTRINGENT REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS\nOF THIS NOTICE. THE CITY HAS\nPROVISIONS THAT ARE STRICTER\nTHAN THE STATE. MAKING SURE\nPEOPLE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THOSE\nDIFFERENCES AND THE NEED TO\nCOMPLY WITH THE CITY\nREQUIREMENTS.\nAT THIS POINT CONSUMER\nPROTECTION FEELS WE HAVE ENOUGH\nINSPECTORS TO ABSORB COMPLAINTS\nCOMING IN. THE ROLE OF THE\nSTRATEGIC ADVISOR PROBABLY WOULD\nBE FINE AND 2025. IN 2026 WE\nANTICIPATE ABSORBING THE WORK.\nWHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS SEE\nWHAT KIND OF NUMBERS WE ARE\nSEEING. THERE'S A LOT OF\nUNKNOWNS ABOUT WHAT IMPACTS THEY\nARE SEEING. AS SOMEBODY WHO\nLIVES IN THE CITY OF SEATTLE I\nKNOW I PROBABLY GET 15 TO 20\nSOLICITATIONS PER MONTH . THAT\nIS ONE WAY I'M LOOKING TO SEE\nWHERE THESE ARE COMING FROM, HOW\nTO INFORM THEM. IS IT FROM\nCERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT IS\nWHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO. AT\nTHIS POINT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE\nTHE FINANCIAL NEED FOR SUPPORT.\nI GET A LOT OF THOSE AS WELL.\nTHEY GO STRAIGHT IN THE TRASH.\nTHERE IS A PRESS RELEASE THIS\nMORNING FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE\nABOUT THIS. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT\nTHE SAME THING. WHAT ACTION IF\nANY DO YOU NEED THE COUNCIL TO\nTAKE?\nWE HAVE TRANSMITTED\nLEGISLATION. FOR THESE TO GO\nINTO EFFECT WE WOULD NEED\nCOUNCIL TO VOTE ON THE\nLEGISLATION AT SOME POINT.\nIS THERE A TIMELINE BY WHICH\nTHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? OTHER\nTHAN SOONER RATHER THAN LATER?\nPREFERABLY BEFORE THE BUDGET\nPROCESS STARTS. WHEN I\nUNDERSTAND YOU DO NOT TAKE UP\nADDITIONAL LEGISLATION.\nAGAIN, JUST TRYING TO FIGURE\nOUT TIMING, GIVEN, HOW THEY WILL\nSHAKE OUT IN ORDER TO GET THINGS\nROLLING AND GET IT IN PLACE. IT\nIS NOT LIKE THE HUD THING . I'M\nJUST WONDERING IF THERE IS A\nDROPDEAD DATE FOR THIS OTHER\nTHAN DO IT BEFORE WE START DOING\nBUDGET STUFF.\nNO. OUR PREFERENCE IS THAT IT\nDOES GET ADOPTED BEFORE BUDGET.\nANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?\nJUST AN OVERARCHING COMMENT.\nI'M PLEASED THIS IS COMING\nBEFORE US. IT'S AN ISSUE I'VE\nCONTINUED TO HEAR ABOUT. I KNOW\nTHAT FOLKS HAVE FELT A BIT OUT\nOF SORTS LIKE WHAT IS SOMETHING\nWE CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE.\nUNDERSTANDING IT IS HARD TO\nMEASURE THE SCALE OF THE ISSUE.\nIT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD INITIAL\nFIRST STEP FOR US TO START\nCOLLECTING INFORMATION AND\nUNDERSTANDING THE PERVASIVENESS\nOF IT, COMMON TACTICS, WHO SOME\nOF THESE FOLKS ARE,\nUNDERSTANDING THIS IS A FIRST\nSTEP AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO\nLEARN AS WE GET SOME OF THIS\nINFORMATION. I AM CURIOUS ABOUT,\nAS WE MOVE FORWARD HOW WE WILL\nPLAN TO FURTHER ENGAGE WITH THE\nEXISTING COMMISSION OR SOME OF\nTHE KEY STAKEHOLDER GROUPS IN\nTHE COMMUNITY THAT MIGHT HAVE A\nGOOD UNDERSTANDING. INKING ABOUT\nLEGACY BLACK HOMEOWNERS. THE\nMAYOR'S COUNCIL FOR\nAFRICAN-AMERICAN ELDERS AND\nOTHER APPROPRIATE COMMISSIONS AS\nWELL. I WOULD ASSUME PART OF\nTHAT EDUCATION WOULD BE PART OF\nWHAT THEY ARE DOING. AS PART OF\nTHE EXECUTIVE ORDER WE ALSO HAVE\nA WHOLE SECTION ON BETTER\nCOORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION\nAMONG DEPARTMENT TO GET THE WORD\nOUT GENERALLY ABOUT THE MANY\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT PROGRAMS THE\nCITY IS FUNDING. WHAT WE LEARNED\nTHROUGH THE REVIEW OF OUR WORK\nIS THAT A LOT OF FOLKS ARE NOT\nFAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THESE\nPROGRAMS SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE\nWE DO A BETTER JOB CONNECTING\nPEOPLE WITH THESE PROGRAMS AND\nTHOSE THAT NEED THE MOST ARE\nAWARE OF THEM AND THE COMMUNITY\nARE AWARE OF THEM. THOSE WHO\nWILL ARE WORKING WITH VULNERABLE\nPOPULATIONS CAN HELP GET OUT THE\nWORD AND THESE WILL BE ADDED TO\nTHE LIST ASSUMING COUNCIL PASSES\nTHIS LEGISLATION OF THINGS WE\nCAN BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR AND\nHELPING MITIGATE CONCERNS.\nI'M WONDERING IF THERE IS\nBUILDING ON THAT POINT IN TERMS\nOF GETTING THE WORD OUT. IF\nTHERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO TIE THIS\nTO EXISTING PROGRAMS WITH GROUPS\nTHAT MAY BE MORE IMPACTED BY\nTHIS. FOLKS THAT MAY BE ENROLLED\nIN THE UTILITY DISCOUNT PROGRAM,\nI'M THINKING ABOUT EXISTING\nCHANNELS SO WE CAN ATTACH THIS\nINFORMATION . IF WE HAVE THOUGHT\nABOUT CONNECTING WITH THE COUNTY\nIF THERE IS AN EXEMPTION FOR\nPROPERTY TAXES FOR SENIORS IF WE\nCAN SEE IF WE CAN USE THEIR\nCHANNELS TO BE SURE FOLKS THAT\nARE ACCESSING THIS TO BE SURE.\nI'M HAPPY TO COME BACK TO\nCITY COUNCIL AND TALK ABOUT WHAT\nTHE COMMUNICATION PLAN IS ONCE\nWE PULL IT TOGETHER. I THINK\nSOME OF THAT WORK IS HAPPENING\nNOW. I REALLY APPRECIATE SOME OF\nTHAT. I THINK IT IS CONSISTENT\nWITH WHERE WE ARE GOING.\nTHOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS AND\nCOMMENTS.\nA FEW WEEKS BACK WE DID THE\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT RESOURCE AT\nTHE RAINIER BEACH COMMUNITY\nCENTER. BASICALLY EDUCATING\nFOLKS ABOUT WHAT RESOURCES EXIST\nTO HELP THEM STAY IN THEIR HOMES\nWHETHER IT IS DISCOUNTS, HOME\nREPAIR, NO-COST OR LOW-COST\nLOANS. A LOT OF THE PROVIDERS\nTHAT WERE THERE FROM HOMEOWNERS\nTO UNITED WAY TO HABITAT FOR\nHUMANITY , INCLUDING OUR OWN\nCITY DEPARTMENTS, A LOT OF FOLKS\nDID NOT WANT -- DID NOT KNOW\nWHAT THEY PROVIDED. IT WAS AN\nEDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE TO FIND\nOUT WHO ELSE DOES WANT TO HELP\nPEOPLE STAY IN THEIR HOMES. I\nTHINK ABOUT WHEN WE HAD THE\nATMOSPHERIC RIVER A COUPLE YEARS\nAGO. I HAD FLOODING IN MY\nBASEMENT. THE PRICE TAG FOR THAT\nADDED UP IN TERMS OF MITIGATION\nAND THE FIXES AND THE WHOLE BIT.\nFORTUNATELY I HAD ACCESS TO MY\nDEFERRED COMP I COULD DIP INTO\nTO OFFSET THE COSTS. I THINK\nABOUT THE NEIGHBOR TWO DOORS\nDOWN IN HER 90s. SHE DOES NOT\nHAVE THAT LIQUID. SO THAT IS\nWHERE I AM LOOKING AT THESE\nPREDATORY FOLKS WHO SAY WE KNOW\nYOU HAD AN ISSUE. WE WILL GIVE\nYOU X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS FOR YOUR\nHOUSE AND IT IS WORTH THREE OR\nFOUR TIMES MORE. THAT IS THE\nKIND OF THING WE WANT TO SQUASH.\nI AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS\nBEING VOTED ON . ANYTHING ELSE\nTO ADD ?\nI WOULD JUST SUGGEST. YOUR\nCOLLEAGUES WOULD BE AWARE ABOUT\nTHIS PROPOSAL BECAUSE\nCOUNCILMEMBER WILL HAD PROPOSED\nLOOKING AT A PROGRAM IN SOME\nSORT. THIS IS SQUARE IN RESPONSE\nTO WHAT SHE WAS THINKING. YOUR\nCOLLEAGUES MAY BE AMENABLE TO AN\nEXPEDITED PROCESS GIVEN THAT\nTHEY SUPPORTED IT DURING THE\nLAST BUDGET PROCESS AS A\nPROPOSED SOLUTION.\nWHEN WE ARE ACTUALLY IN\nCOMMITTEE WE WILL HAVE THE\nPROCESS . AS WE ARE JUST HAVING\nA CONVERSATION, WE WANT TO THINK\nHOW WE CAN MOVE THINGS FORWARD .\nSO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I\nGUESS THE COMMUNITY CONVERSATION\nIS TIME TO GO TO LUNCH.\nCAN I JUST SHARE SOME REMARKS\nI WANT TO THANK YOU FOR LEADING\nUS THROUGH THIS PROCESS. YOU ARE\nSERVING AS CHAIR ON THIS\nCOMMITTEE AS AN INTERIM BASIS. I\nWANT TO THANK YOU FOR GOING\nABOVE AND BEYOND TODAY. YOU DID\nNOT HAVE TO HAVE A COMMUNITY\nMEETING TODAY. WE COULD HAVE\nJUST SAID CORAM IS NOT HERE. WE\nWILL CALL IT ANOTHER TIME. YOU\nSHARE THE VALUE THAT I SHARE\nWHICH IS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE\nHEARD AND WE SHOULD BE SURE THIS\nCOMES BEFORE THE COMMUNITY TODAY\nAND IS RECORDED FOR THE PUBLIC\nTO SEE. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR\nYOUR LEADERSHIP. IT MEANS A LOT\nTO ME AND I THINK IT MEANT A LOT\nFOR THE PEOPLE THAT CAME BEFORE\nUS TODAY. WITH THAT BEING SAID\nWE ARE HERE PERFORMING OUR\nCHARTERED RESPONSIBILITIES TO BE\nIN COMMITTEE AND DOING THIS\nWORK? WHERE'S THE COUNCIL\nPRESIDENT AND WHERE IS\nCOUNCILMEMBER SAKA? I WOULD LOVE\nTO KNOW. I THINK THE PEOPLE\nWOULD LOVE TO KNOW. ON THAT NOTE\nI WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN. I\nWANT TO THANK THE TEAM AS WELL\nFOR COMING TODAY TO PROVIDE THIS\nINFORMATION TO US. I HAVE A LOT\nOF QUESTIONS COMING OUT OF THIS\nMEETING AND NOT ABOUT THE\nLEGISLATION. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR\nBEING HERE. GO GET LUNCH. THERE\nIS REALLY NOTHING TO CLOSE OUT\nBECAUSE IT IS NOT AN OFFICIAL\nCOMMITTEE MEETING.\nTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR\nTIME, SEATTLE CHANNEL."
