Say hi to my dirty, lovely Nazi.
Yeah, Fuhrer.
Lowlife, criminal, anti-Semite, thug, sucker, and killer.
My name is Alex Zimmerman.
I once spoke about Agenda No. 4, about people who are supposed to be today approved for the Seattle Human Rights Commission.
Four times, I went to the Human Rights Commission, filled out the application, and reject me, I'm more qualified than everybody.
I'm senior citizen, I'm refugee, I have five election, I have two class action, and I stay in political for all my life, and I cannot qualify for this.
Why?
Why is a big question.
Because what has happened here, it's exactly what is very interesting, and it's exactly what is I want to speak about this.
We have four brown Nazi dirty garbage rats.
who totally violate open public religion, rules, and everything.
It's a violation of every rule and regulation.
It's a violation of constitution, real.
It's a violation of constitution, real, and everything.
It's a crime.
So I want to explain to you why I cannot speak this.
I'm just putting you on notice as required by the rules that you're being disruptive with your attacks, just personal attacks that's nothing to do with our work program or our agenda.
Please, please resume.
I don't mention name, not a nothing.
Where is the problem?

You know what this mean, council code.

Why?
I'm not hearing anything dealing with any city council issues, sir.
Exactly.
I talking about number four guy who is two guy who for Human Rights Commission and I cannot qualify.
Why?
Because it's exactly what this happens is because you are Nazi, Gestapo principal use every day.
What is motivation?
Because I am a Jew?

Why?
Why I cannot qualify here for speak by constitution and rule.
Say hi, my Fuhrer.
Our next speaker is Betsy will be followed by the Honorable Michael Fuller.
Afternoon, can you hear me?
Yes, we can.
Thanks for the opportunity.
My name is Betsy Pito.
I've lived here since 2004. I live in a narrow neighborhood in the I-5 corridor that has been disrupted recently by a narrow homeless camp.
They have moved on and our neighborhood has returned to normal, more or less.
I think it's unfair for the city to let a homeless camp wherever we want.
I think it's unfair to let the homeless camp in densely populated neighborhoods like mine with small yards and narrow streets.
God knows they need all the help they can get and we don't have enough money for the homeless.
We feel abandoned by our leaders.
And we're not willing to tolerate the disruptions the homeless bring.
We don't want them back.
I only also want to say I think Seattle's problems are overwhelming, and I thank you for trying to solve them.
Thank you.
Following the Honorable Michael Fuller will be Jennifer A.
Yes, this is Honorable Michael Fuller, Siouxite Jewish.
I'd like to commend Jenny Durkin, the mayor, for recognizing Johnny Fuller Jr. that served this country over two and a half decades in the United States Air Force during the Korean War and Vietnam War.
And I'm devastated with the city council where you have breached your contract when you came in here talking about a new America, when the old America is in conflict.
And when it's a conflict in state constitution and statute, state must yield the federal constitution and statute.
United States v. First Bank, September 27, 1983, and Biven v. Sixth Unknown, August 1971. In reference to the letter dated July 5, 2018, Honorable Michael B. Fuller, so I jurors, rebuttal to Mayor Jeannie Durkin, after two and a half decades, I've spoken on issues of our homeless veterans and non-veterans and Black Lives Matter.
This is not the changes or dream Black Lives Matter can believe.
In September 11, 2001, Title VIII, USC, 1324A, offenses, aliens, all who took the ORCW2 RCW 204.080, they owe the office.
RCW 2.24.020, they owe.
And RCW 2.48.21, oh, they owe.
Thank you, honorable.
Thank you, sir.
Our next speaker will be...
But you got to realize, I'm your employer.
Yes, you are, sir.
Thank you.
And you are the employee.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
I will remember that.
Thank you, sir.
Jennifer A.
will be followed by Marguerite Richard.
Thank you, Honorable.
Please have a seat.
Thanks.
Hi, my name is Jennifer.
This past week, the City of Seattle renewed the lease of the low barrier drug tiny houses called Licton Springs.
Was there public testimony taken regarding this lease agreement?
And if so, where can the testimony be found?
The same day, Seattle King County Health released a notice of an increase in HIV cases among a few North Seattle homeless.
Is there a connection?
Today, you're voting on extending a moratorium six more months related to land use and zoning within the Aurora-Licton Springs Village.
This legislation, if passed, would prohibit new, expanding, or converting land uses for businesses such as showroom wholesale and warehouses, et cetera.
Under the financial implications, there is no listing of a financial impact.
Why?
In my opinion, there is most definitely a loss.
Businesses pay taxes.
If you don't allow them, then you should be listing the impact of the revenues lost.
You're allowing Licton Springs Low Barrier Encampment to remain for two years, and the city will pay in part to keep it running.
Licton Springs is not going to generate any revenue, yet many businesses listed under this moratorium would have definitely Today, you'll also be discussing a council bill regarding teaching lawn bowling to the public at Jefferson Park Lawn Bowling.
I wish I was making this up.
Lawn bowling?
Seriously, we have more homeless and those suffering from addiction than ever.
We have an active HIV outbreak, and you've got funding and time to discuss lawn bowling?
Your priorities are not right.
And lastly, Council Member Juarez, this is for you, if you're listening.
I know you've been made aware of the encampment as a large group of people camping in a Seattle City planter box across from the Lake City Post Office.
These campers are urinating and pooping in public, even with a porta potty a block away.
The human waste is piling up near the post office and near the businesses located at the small mall nearby.
The city agency I contacted told me this camp was listed but is not a priority by the navigation team.
I think that human feces on the sidewalk and near the post office is a public health threat and it needs to be addressed and moved up in its priority.
Thank you.
Our next speaker is Marguerite Richard, followed by Christopher King.
Why you cut me off, Bruce?
I cut her off too.
Equal opportunity, cut her off.
Following Marguerite Richard will be Christopher King.
Yes, so this is a significant hour for me to speak in honor of the late Aretha Franklin.
I was able to I watched quite a bit of the service and saw many of the people that I had the privilege and honor of gracing the stage with.
And I do honor her legacy and what she meant to my life and my uncle's life that owned a record store that sold many of her albums and records as well as other people.
but we're going to speed up the process because Michael Eric Dyson mentioned a word fascism and I hear it used quite a bit here in this rotunda of such and I'm very sore displeased that this woman has gone on and yet we're struggling and suffering in our various city counties and states and origins and the human rights international human rights said we exiting from the United Nations.
The U.S. is exiting.
Now a lot of the stuff I see is fake news.
Just like we have fake people, we have fake news.
But if we're skipping like that in this day and age in 2018, we have a problem.
And I'm right in focus today in what this is supposed to be all about.
It's supposed to be equal protection up under the law.
But I get a letter from an assistant city attorney telling me, you know, basically you go to hell somewhere else because our problem, your problem, is not my problem.
Huh?
Is that right?
My problem is not your problem no more, Mr. Bruce Hale?
Huh?
I'm asking you.
Let's see you sit up there.
You don't say nothing except those that are privileged for you to honor and curtsy to and bow and all this other kind of fuddy-duddy business and you say, yeah, you mad at the security guard that says, oh, those that manage the security and the community police commission and the finance administration.
Thank you, Mr. Sharratt.
Next speaker will be Christopher King.
Hi.
Good afternoon.
As you know, I'm Christopher King.
And as you know, I'm a local mortgage professional.
and many of you attended a forum that I brainchilded a couple of years ago, four years ago, in which you came to that forum ostensibly to address issues of illegal foreclosure, homelessness, things of that nature.
Around the same time, you may recall that you retained the services of a colleague of mine Marie McDonald to do an audit, a review of the King County recorder of deeds vis-a-vis mortgage electronic registration services and the impact that MERS has had in the environment here, okay, in the socioeconomic environment.
And Ms. McDonald expressly told you basically to sue MERS, as 11 other counties have done in Oregon, as I pointed out to you.
and you would not even let Ms. McDonald present her findings here before you, okay?
So I've come now from making movies for Shama when she was a candidate and having you attend a forum of mine to suing you shortly for a public records violation.
I came before you three months ago pursuant to agenda items and I asked you to produce any and all notes relative to why you have not or why the city attorney has not sued MERS as they did down in Oregon.
Multnomah County was the first.
They got $9 million.
We are at least three times the populace of that.
We could have $30 million in our coffers for the homeless.
Anyway, nobody responded to my public records request, and I followed it up with an email.
So if you can show me any scintilla of a response to that, then I won't sue you.
I have better things to do.
But we have come to that, and I am sad about that.
I am also sad to know that I can't run my dog anywhere without homeless people, the belligerent ones, arguing at me about running my dog in public and chasing birds.
It is a bird dog.
That is what she does.
It is nature.
Meanwhile, these guys are smoking blunts in the park and complaining to me.
This homeless issue could be alleviated if you had sued MERS, and you won't even tell me why you haven't done it.
Thank you, sir.
Our last speaker will be Mark Cox.
I am out of here.
Hi, I just wanted to briefly say that people have two eyes, those who have eyes, and they don't know how to use them sometimes.
They don't see what they should see with their own eyes, even over a course of decades.
So we have two public figures who are biological brothers who don't receive recognition by any member of the public to any degree that they are biological brothers.
This is Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computer, and Howard Stern of Sirius XM Satellite Radio.
I know this because they were my neighbors in 1972 on Pamela Crest, where I lived at 1514 Pamela Crest, Redlands, California, in second grade in 1972. Steve Jobs taught me how to break pomegranates on the ground so we could eat fresh pomegranates from a tree of a neighbor's tree that was a pomegranate tree.
and they moved away, I think, when I was in third grade.
They don't have the same name today in public as they did when I knew them as a kid in second grade.
That is a benevolent instance of a family secret whose nature of hiding is benevolent.
We also have situations where, again, people must use their eyes to see, there is malevolent hiding of truth.
In the case of Jared Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, who serves as the advisor to the President of the United States of America, he lies to his own children of his Asiatic, Southeast Asian heritage.
He is 25% Southeast Asian.
His mother is one half, 50% Southeast Asian, and her mother is 100% Southeast Asian.
He lies so that he does not have to admit to the world that technically, according to the Orthodox, he would be, though he is Jewish through his father, he would be a proselyte if he admitted the truth, even though his own wife and his own children are labeled that exactly by the Orthodox, unfortunately.
Thank you, Mr. Cox.
That will conclude our public testimony.

Thank you, Madam Clerk, for reading that.
So we have 21 potential commissioners, and we had the absolute pleasure and honor to meet them this morning.
I won't read all of their backgrounds into the record.
It's quite lengthy, but I did pass out a document that our Get Engaged partner, the Accelerator YMCA work that is being done, led by Jeff Lindstrom, I passed out to all of you as just a synopsis of each of their very impressive backgrounds.
Just for the viewing public, since 2001, The Get Engaged program is a collaborative program of the YMCA and the City of Seattle that's really dedicated to cultivating the next generation of leaders and for advocating for the influence of young voices in city affairs.
And by young voices, we're talking about potential leaders between the ages of 18 and 29. And again, we are very intentional on trying to make sure we establish and hear the youth voice on our commissions citywide.
They acted in advisory capacity.
They have full voting responsibility.
They advised the mayor and the city council and their fellow commissioners to help us shape policy decisions and make recommendations and provide input and civic participation.
So again, we heard from nearly all of them this morning, and they certainly were a very impressive lot.
And again, you have their backgrounds in the materials in front of you.
Again, the commissions, and I won't read them all, from the Landmarks Preservation Board, to the Community Involvement Commission, to the Community Technology Advisory Board, the LGBTQ Commission, the Human Rights Commission, et cetera.
A good, certainly we have plenty of commissions and boards, and again, a lot of talent through this Get Engaged program.
So I would ask that we support them, and we want to thank them for their service.
Any questions or comments?
Okay, so I will move to confirm the appointments 1 0 8 4 through 1 1 0 3 and 1 1 0 5 Moved a second of the appointments be confirmed any further comments Those in favor of confirming the appointments, please vote.
Aye.
Aye Those opposed vote.
No, the motion carries and the appointments are confirmed Okay, please read uh items 22 and 23
Agenda items 22 and 23, clerk file 314366, full unit lot subdivision application of Mark Brasseth to subdivide one parcel into 12 unit lots at 3050 61st Avenue Southwest.
Council Bill 119334, approving and confirming the plant of Alki 12 in portions of the southeast quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 10 Township 24 North Range 3 East WM in King County, Washington.
Council Member Johnson.
Thank you.
This is one of those occasional land use topics that comes straight to full council based on the Seattle Municipal Code requirements for us to take action within a specific time frame.
So here we are taking action with these two pieces of legislation to allow the final subdivision of a property just a couple of blocks from Alki in District 1. The property has been reviewed by the Department of Transportation, the Department of Construction and Inspections, and central staff.
It's consistent with the hearings examiner's recommendations on this project, which was completed in November of 2017. And these actions essentially facilitate the conversion of a single family parcel to 12 unit lots for sale or lease of 12 row houses that are under construction.
And this final action allows for those 12 units to actually be listed and on the market.
Happy to answer questions, but I'm not seeing any.
So with that, I'll just move to place the clerk file on file.
Any further questions on this?
First, we'll do the clerk file.
Any further questions?
It's been moved and seconded that the application be filed.
Those in favor of filing the application, please vote aye.
Aye.
Those opposed vote no.
The motion carries and the application is filed.
Did you need to speak on the council bill as well, or should we move on?
The council bill does the real work here, and so the clerk file allows for us to proceed, and the council bill is the final action.
So those are related documents.
There's nothing left for me to add.
Very good.
Any further questions or comments?
I'll move to pass Council Bill 119334. Second.

Please read the next report.
The report of the Civil Rights Utilities Economic Development and Arts Committee agenda item 24, Council Bill 119308 relating to water services of Seattle Public Utilities, revising water rates and charges for service to wholesale customers and amending section 21.04.440 of the Seattle Municipal Code Committee recommends the bill pass.
Council Member Herboldt.
Thank you.
This piece of legislation relates to wholesale water rates in the southwest subregion.
The southwest subregion includes Highline, Des Moines, and Burien.
The city of Seattle sells water on a wholesale basis to over 20 suburban cities and utility districts, and the cost allocations and rates are set through water supply contracts.
Last fall, the council adopted the other wholesale water rates for the other regions, but the southwest subregional surcharge was delayed.
through changes in metering equipment and the need to complete a rate study before approving those new rates.
The new surcharge for the southwest region is decreasing and it works out to be about a $380,000 a year decrease.
Because of past over collection, this is fairly common and rates are adjusted every three years to account for over or under charging.
And also there has been a decrease in demand that was previously incorporated but has been delayed past 2023. Very good.
Any further questions or comments?
If not, please call the roll on the passage of the bill.

The committee recommends the resolution be adopted.
Thank you.
I'm Pinchitting here for Councilmember Mosqueda.
This resolution will adopt the mid-plan progress report for what is a state-mandated integrated resource plan for Seattle City Light.
It's actually required by our state statute and it requires City Light to invest in a broad resource mix.
What I like about this is it's a long-term planning tool.
to ensure that our utility prepares for the next 20 years.
And we are doing a lot already and have been for decades to increase conservation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
So this effort really supports the resolutions out of this council toward carbon neutrality and to meeting our growth loads through conservation and renewable energy.
And just as a heads up, as we are going to be looking at the new city light director, and going through this committee, is that I want to dovetail on this resolution to require and really explore clean energy options and a national transition plan, what Seattle City Light can be doing locally and through the state as a leader.
So you will be hearing more about this, but in the meantime, this resolution adopts this mid-plan update, and it came out of our committee unanimously recommending full council approval.
Thank you.
Any further questions?
Those in favor of adopting the resolution, please vote aye.
Aye.
Those opposed vote no.
The motion carries.
The resolution is adopted and the chair will sign it.
That concludes our agenda.
Is there any further business coming for the council?
If not, we stand adjourned and everyone have a great rest of the afternoon.
Great.
Thank you.
