“Thank you for the presentation. By the way, that cake walk was very exciting. I don't even eat cake. I look at it, it makes me so happy. Thank you for planning that. And I heard that was sold out right after release, right? It was. In seconds. Very quickly. Thank you. I just have a few questions, just I think actually two mostly. One of them, I was wondering, you know, the Art and Culture and Innovation Initiative, I find that very exciting. And how does it translate to exactly the dollar allocated to marketing and communication for, I say, the branding of the East Side?”

“Thank you, Mayor. And first of all, I love this name. Thank you so much for picking it and for your hard work. By thinking about over 200 names, that just show how excited our residents are. And that's rare to find sometimes for 200 just for one park. And at City of Bellevue, we are a city, park in the city, city in the park, but any. The city with many parks we love, that's what matters. And I think that the part that we can actually honoring our Japanese American residents who's been here for so long.

“Thank you for the presentation. As our city grows, this is so exciting to see what we can do. I really appreciate the way that you're improving the process where it's like, I don't know which slide was, it was just really, I think it's very effective how to break it down to the single portfolio versus so many different ones. So it's going to be really transparent and clear for our residents to understand.”

“Thank you. Number 12. I just have a few questions. And let me see. Actually, one of the questions, it was not the one I shared, but I just wanted this out of curiosity. So I read somewhere. So we are doing the $20 on the vehicle registration, right? I just read the other day that about 10% of the Washington state residents don't pay their tab. That's about 600,000 vehicles per year. Do we know a percentage in Bellevue how many yes we don't pay tab? Ooh, yes.”

“That's good. Thank you so much, because I was looking at them. I was like, okay, what are we going to do for the people? We're going to be projecting the budget, right? So thank you. That answer, the... But the first actual question was, so when in April we were talking about the 60% budget and then the 40% to major projects, and I see there's a shift to 90 to 10% TBD revenue. Can you kind of walk through that, the funding assumption now behind the 10% for the grant connection? And then like, how did they change through the process?”

“Thank you for listening. That's really important. Thank you. I appreciate you. And my second question is, under the new portfolio management structure, because there's a lot of neighborhood that's underserved, you know, like Vasa neighborhood. There's so many neighborhoods out there. When I walk the side way, there's a lot of projects could help the resident and the kids feel safe. How are we going to track the progress in these underserved community versus like a bulk as a whole portfolio?”

“Thank you. Can I ask one more question? Yes, absolutely. OK, one last question, I promise. So my last question is, so far, I really appreciate there's so many engagement sessions. I read we have about 171 survey response so far Okay, correct me if I'm wrong. So for September 15th, do you think that we were gonna have enough engagement for a really sound data to share with the public? I feel like especially the renters and lower income families.”
