“I also appreciate everyone that came out tonight and just wanted to say to the folks that are coming out in support and sort of a protective effort of our Olympia's waste resources is that hear you I really hear you and for what it's worth I don't think anyone on this council as I've experienced it is taking pleasure in this in this conversation and making light of the the amount of jobs and what we would lose I really believe that we do have something special and I am going to follow the process. And I think that your showing up, your emails, if you're part of the folks that also emailed in,…”

I do really appreciate the concern with the dollar amount and you know, seeking justification for why that is. Um, and, and you shared, and I think you, you spoke really well to that. Um, Sylvanas is really the opportunity to gather more perspective, um, to, uh, to also, uh, compensate people. And, um, this is, uh, something is my belief that people often don't get compensated. Well, uh, in this industry. And then when we asked for, we're shifting now and moving forward at…”

“I'll just keep it brief. I'm really glad to see this come around. I'm looking forward to supporting it. I'm hoping that the days end up being where many of us can attend. That would be great. But it's just important that it's happening overall. Yes, it's been some time since our ceasefire resolution, and it's ever relevant. So I think it's important that we continue to support whenever there are ways that we can, and I just really appreciate Council Member Gilman, you also sharing that context too. I think that's really important is, you know, what is the intention of it? Yeah. So looking…”

“Perhaps I should touch on the Olympia Downtown Alliance's summer barbecue, where I provided comments. I do do things. I just don't often feel the need to report them, but thank you. I think that's a nice prompt. Yeah, we have a great relationship with the ODA, the Olympia Downtown Alliance, and we got a chance to... be on the patio, outside on a summer evening with the ODA board members, some of the business and employees of businesses in the downtown area, and many council members there too. Oh, we heard from Congresswoman Strickland, and then I think it was the night before the primary, so…”

“All right, hello and welcome everyone to tonight's Tuesday, July 28th, 2026 regular meeting of business meeting of the Olympia City Council. First up, our roll call. As you can see, our mayor is not with us today, but I am. I'm Mayor Pro Tem Huynh, and our mayor does a lot, so it's nice for him to have a night off, I think. With that, everyone else is here on council, so we'll move to announcements. And I just have a quick one, which is just letting folks know that there will not be a regular council meeting next week. It is also primary election night, Tuesday next week, so reminding…”
