No. 2 of Series: Council Meeting Of The Whole
During the Special Meeting, as seen this video, President Birney clarified that King County is contributing $2M to towards a regional aquatics center in north east King County. Council Vice President Carson mentioned he had talked with council members in Kirkland and Bellevue about a partnership with positive results. Council member Margeson was "very pleased to see Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond are working together despite initial reluctance from one of the communities" (probably Kirkland.) President Birney was thrilled.
This Park's & Human Services "Council Committee Of The Whole" was canceled by President Birney owing to inadequate agenda noticing. The meeting immediately devolved to a council "Parks and Human Services" standing committee. In this video, Parks & Culture Manager Carloyn Hope is presenting to council. Council had minimal conversation amongst themselves; it was mostly informational.
Five Council members were present: Chair Hank Myers (sweater), member David Carson (short sleaves,) member Jeralee Anderson (white jacket,) President Angela Birney (left of HM,) Hank Margeson (tie.)
High level staff were present: Parks Director, Dep. Parks Director, new Planning Director, Parks & Culture Manager, Parks Operations Manager.
After multiple "Where As" statements the Mayor summarized his draft statement [in part]:
