Committee of the Whole - Special Meeting

Where is my office? There's a place like a jewel.

The microphone is on. It's time, and I think everyone's gathered a lot, so I'll start right away. Let's start the committee meeting. Today's meeting is an update report by the regional committee and the board of directors, and I think this is an opportunity for you to share your activities. I remember that there was an opinion that we wanted to report the activities of several regional committees and board meetings to the entire meeting. So, this seat was prepared for free debate and report. First, do you have anyone who would like to share what you have experienced after seeing, listening, and experiencing the regional committee and board activities?

Yes, thank you. I am active in the regional committee or board of directors of four places. I will briefly tell you about each. It is I-167-405 Advisory Committee. The meeting is scheduled for September 30. It is held twice a year. As you may know, the September 30 resolution includes the priority ranking, project progress situation and schedule review, and as you know, this is a big problem with the possibility of change. And there is also a recommendation for the 167th Road Traffic Master Plan. These cases are scheduled. As I said, the institution only gathers twice a year, and is usually the place to share changes and updates. We don't deal with a lot of practical work. Next is the KCAC, also known as KCAC. On October 2, the Seattle King County Building held a year-end pre-trial civil servant meeting. The committee has not yet been confirmed, but we are planning to announce the main climate issue of the Legislative Council's upcoming Legislative Council meeting. I am very excited to hear what he says and what the Legislative Council thinks about the main climate issue. It will be a really interesting time, and I will share more details later. Next is the WRIA 8-year health committee. I didn't know for a long time, but the WRIA is a abbreviation for the Water Shed Resource Inventory Area. So everything is related to oil and gas. For us, most of it is related to the Shida River. Yes, our budget and work plan for 2027 are almost the same as this year. Of course, there are changes such as rising prices, but we are still focusing on the same health program that we have been promoting for the past few years. One good thing about this year is that we visited the project site several times. So it was really good to be able to go to the site together and actually check the work that is being done and the work that is being carried out. Also, I would like to ask Mr. McGovern for his opinion. I know that you have attended the RA8 meeting several times in the past, and if you have anything you would like to add, welcome.

There is no content to add to the RA8 report, but thank you for explaining the meaning of the term. Yes. RA means Water Shed Resource Inventory Area.

Anyway, the most interesting thing is that there are a lot of things to do, not because it's fun, but because it's related to the King County Hongsu Regional Advisory Committee. We have to submit the budget to the King County Committee, which is called by another name, according to the site. This year is a bit difficult. According to the site, we have to submit the budget and work plan for next year, but we have not yet received a business evaluation report on the historical flood after December, 2025. So, it is very difficult to say how much budget is needed and what kind of work will be done without accurate business evaluation of the damage size. It's a really difficult problem. Currently, restoration and easing work is in full swing at Renton's Gyeonggi-an Park Road along the Shida River. Because of the flood, and unfortunately, due to the flood, salmon rearing works are also affected by salmon rearing due to a lot of salmon rearing. Salmon rearing is a small nest where baby fish grow. One of the very interesting news from the King County flood advisory committee is about the Black River Pump Station. As you all remember, before the water level dropped, the Black River passed through the lantern. There is currently a Black River Pump Station, which was designed to protect the lantern city where the flood occurred in the past. It also plays a role in protecting the wider Kent Valley industrial area. In the case of Black River Pump Station, it is planned to be $250 million in terms of capital improvement plans and CIP for the next six years. It is very important to restore the pump facility to normal function and to perform the role of protecting the lantern and the wider Kent Valley industrial complex, but I call it KCDIA because the region is responsible for 37% of the overall economy. The Black River Pump Station is the only facility that can protect the region in the event of a disaster. Therefore, the facility must be restored to a complete functional level, and the traffic problem there must also be solved together. So, for the next six years, $250 million will be invested in very important infrastructure. This is my report. Thank you. Thank you for your detailed report.

First of all, as you started the presentation, you gave us a very detailed report on the local community, so I think you set a high standard for all of us. Thank you. Is there anyone who would like to present next? I'll continue after you, Mr. Prince. Yes, that's right. After the last conversation, a lot of things happened, and a lot of things didn't go well. In relation to the growth management planning committee, we are finishing the approval of all comprehensive plans last year, and we also started working on the regional center. We know that our employees are working on regional center-related work. And in the case of KCRA, the KCRA, the KCRA, the KCRA, the KCRA, the KCRA, the KCRA, the KCRA, Also, regarding KCRHA, my term has been terminated. Therefore, when the Seattle application comes out, if anyone is interested in working at KCRHA, there will probably be a seat in the replacement committee. Let's see. Last week, I went to Seattle City Policy Committee's C-PIC, where they are preparing for the bill. We are planning to share important information about our bill with each city and see if they are missing anything. The Washington City Council's AWC is also working on its own. I'm going to contact each city, and there's a workshop next week, so I think I'll get to know more about it then. And about Sound Transit, I talked to the CEO last Friday. They are preparing the 44th and the next parking lot in the northeast. Last Thursday, the System Expansion Committee approved to provide the rental parking lot budget in advance. It is scheduled to vote in the board meeting two weeks later. That's all, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Prince. I have a question. Yes. It may be a story that has already passed, but Mr. Prince, are you going to get a parking lot? In 2036. It's done. The parking lot is going to be built.

Yes, I see. I hope it will be faster, but anyway, the parking lot will be built. And is there any way to proceed at once with 44 and the business?

I see.

No. 44 is already in progress, and in the case of Lenten, as Mr. Eric mentioned, we decided to refund the construction cost of the parking lot at Sound Transit. Lenten will carry out the business and preserve the cost of Sound Transit, so there will be no delay. Thank you. Yes, Mr. Albert Sun. Let me add a little more to what Mr. Halloran said. First of all, there is not much to discuss, but the meeting of the Economic Development and Geospatial Development Committee mainly focused on planning the regional economic strategy and making drafts. There have been no specific achievements so far. There are a lot of words, but this is the stage in which progress is being made to reach that point. There's a little bit of talk about regulations and things like that. I won't force you to make it up because there's nothing as great as I can report. I'd like to hear a little more about the Eastside Transportation Partnership. Yes, so the Eastside Transportation Partnership. Every month, meetings are held and announcements are made at places such as Sound Transit or Metro. Let me mention a few things. Since the last update, the Kyeongjeon Railway line, which is of course connected to Redmond, has been completely opened. After opening, there was a discussion about what impact this would have on the situation. It can now be seen as a complete collapse. Well, one thing I want to mention here is a recent announcement about East Link Connection and East Link Connections. This is about using generational investment in 경전철, and 경전철 will play the role of moving people to Seattle, and the bus will connect local communities. So they discussed a few things. If you look at the participation aspect of METRO, there were more than 210,000 mail deliveries, 26 meetings of regional social meetings, 8 meetings of the Mobility Committee, and regional social partnerships for virtual meetings. They are taking a lot of time and effort in this specific field, and I will give you some statistics on East Link Connection. When the front line is implemented, the daily operation will increase by about 2,700 times, and the weekend operation will increase by 550 times, and 20 lines will be closed, 16 lines will be reformed, and 8 lines will be installed. This will once again be the lead of the metro, expanding the late-night operation, new weekend services, more frequent operation, faster cross-border connections, and a 14% increase in public transportation approach to the priority population. And I'm looking forward to a bigger connection with Gyeongjeon-cheol. So this is one of the main areas in which we are securing considerable data and moving in that direction. Finally, in March of 2027, Metro will implement the last stage of the East Link Connection. So, as you know, it's not too late. This includes the introduction of Line 251. It may not mean much to anyone, but the restoration of services that have been suspended in some regions will also be carried out. Usually, we hear the voices of the local communities that we have felt alienated. So they are trying to solve as many problems as possible. Now, another thing that came out recently is, um, what do you call it? Well, it's a furniture traffic accident investigation. I wanted to give you some data on this. To explain the background, this type of investigation started in the 1960s. Until recently, PSRC has conducted this investigation every 10 years. Now, it is being carried out every two years to find out the trend. Well, if you look at the highlights of the daily average means of transportation from the results of the investigation of the crime they looked at, the driver was almost recovered from 13.6 million to 13.9 million, which was the previous level of the pandemic in the last survey in 2025. The number of traffic jams decreased from 2,000,000 to 1,700,000 in 2021. So in 2025, the number of traffic jams decreased. The rate of public transportation use has increased in recent surveys. Still, the number of traffic jams decreased from 6.9 million to 6.9 million. It seems to be 5.8 million in total. However, the size of the bicycle and individual transportation is small. This actually showed an increase. It is the highest level since 2017. If you look at it again from the point of view of transportation by transportation, it is actually increasing. For your information, there are other areas. In the case of movement related to care for gender, women moved more than men on average, and it was 53% vs. 45%. In the case of movement according to disability, disabled people move 2.7 times a day per person, which is about one-third less than 3.9 times per non-disabled person per person. Let's take a look. The interesting thing is the status of workers per workplace. Let's talk about home work and actual commute. In 2017, it was 79%. In the most recent survey, in 2025, it was 63% full face-to-face work, 27% hybrid, and 10% full-time work. Therefore, in terms of transportation demand, it has not been completely recovered to the previous level of the pandemic. It is still about 14 to 15% lower than the face-to-face work standard. There are also delivery, food delivery, etc. It was a really interesting survey. In my opinion, the key that was exposed in this survey is that the car operation has recovered to its previous level, and the number of public transport and individual transportation is increasing. I'll tell you again about public transportation. It has increased, but it has not returned to the previous level of the pandemic. There are two main contents that I think are worth discussing, and that's it. Yes, thank you. There is a question from Ohalo Run.

Yes, regarding economic development, I was just having a conversation with Eric Perry. Are you dealing with personnel development or talent development in economic development? I want to tell you that, but I can't do that at all.

Oh, I'm careful to tell you. It has never been carried out in any practical way. I think it will be promoted soon. Maybe I mentioned it, but there are so many stories about strategy development. I want to build a strategy quickly and move on to a practical implementation plan, but that's the only story that keeps coming. So why can't I start right away? I think. But... Thank you. Yes.

I don't think we can calculate Ryan's bicycle driving distance as a result of all your achievements. I think the results are a little distorted because of that.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Yes, regarding the joint traffic meeting held last week, the 5th member will continue what he said at the South County Regional Traffic Council. In fact, before FIFA 2026, it was a discussion on how traffic groups such as Metro, Sound Transit, PSCR, and RTC and NLC cooperated with other regional communities. Each institution shared the situation, discussed strategies, and reviewed the sound connection network. Also, when considering the regional FIFA World Cup, which is only once in a lifetime, it is important to make public transportation very easy for the local community to use. It is important to increase the service time and opportunity for traffic accessibility, and that part has been well implemented. It was a very large regional cooperation, and I think it was really important. This was a report related to the Regional Transportation Committee of Nambu County. Now I will tell you about the Council of Seniors for Old and Disability Services. As I said before, at this meeting every month, experts in the field of elderly issues will present various topics. Recently, we covered the topic of the law on eating healthy food in areas where it is difficult to get food. In particular, the elderly in our local society have a lower approach to food. Um, as I mentioned, it deals with various topics such as memory deprivation prevention using music. In the case of Renton, it is usually referred to as a senior age group over the age of 50. However, there are various spectrums in aging. Therefore, there are various age ranges from 50 to 60 years old, or from 50 to 55 years old, 60 to 70 years old, etc. It is important to identify what is needed for each age group, and it is very important to consider cultural connection in the Council for the Advisory Committee on Elderly and Disability Services. As part of the regional cooperation related to Seattle City, the Seattle Mayor's Office and the African American Seniors' Committee invited us to the committee. On September 18, I will meet with Mayor Jenny Wilson and deal with the problems of the local social elders in depth. As I said, it is scheduled to be held at 2 p.m. on September 18 at Grace Union Catholic Church. The other committee is the King County Regional Corruption and Waste Committee. The good thing is that they have provided a tool for the local community to help them understand the waste of daily necessities for the past two years. And as I said, the good thing is that there is a dashboard to help our consumers and residents on the King County website. This is my update. Thank you.

Only the two of us are left now.

I'll do it first. I'll do it. All right.

If you're ready, I can do it at the end. I'll do it at the end.

Or I'll do it in the next order and you can do it at the end. It's okay. It's your turn. All right. All right. All right. All right.

All right. All right.

All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. WRIA-9 is in charge of other areas of the water resource survey area. WRIA-8 deals with the Shida River and the Sama-Mishi area. I am in charge of the Doua-Mishi and the Green area. Unfortunately, due to schedule and approachable problems, I could not attend the meeting. There was a schedule problem, Last time it was a face-to-face meeting, but we only had one car, so it was difficult to attend due to the problem of approachability. I'm telling you to the traffic-related regional officials, but we need more approachability and more frequent bus lines. That's all I can say about it. However, at the 9th meeting of the WRIA in August, I discussed the budget and work plan in 2027, as well as the recovery site of the U.S. Miller Creek walkway that I missed. Mr. Ron Straka is making excellent support for the committee I belong to. The next committee I would like to talk about is the Regional Law, Safety and Justice Committee, part of the Sound City Association. As the name suggests, it is a regional committee focused on law, safety, and justice. Yes, I'm listening to a lot of really good announcements. Yes, there are also announcements from the Regional Police Department. We, SPD, KCSO, SFD, King County Emergency Management System, Operating Board, Security and Metro Emergency Management Team, have heard a very in-depth and thorough presentation on FIFA safety and security. It was really perfectly prepared. They did a great job. Also, during the meeting related to public safety, I also received a law update. Mental health emergency response and work in various cities I heard about the group's announcement. I think it's really important. It's definitely something we can look at more closely. The intersection of gun violence and crisis intervention is another important topic. Unfortunately, gun violence is still quite common around us. So I've heard a lot about him. We also heard the announcement of the crisis management center burden money update, which was one of the last announcements, as well as the Soyeok Hall Bertsen Project, a preventive and intervention service for young people in crisis and homeless people. This is the content of how the North, Central, South, East and Youth target centers are being established through crisis management burdens. The RFP has been released. In the case of the central region, it is scheduled to enter Seattle. The north region has already opened its doors to Kirkland, but it was a bit of a special situation there. Kirkland was really ahead of its time in that matter, and I think it opened the center by responding much more preemptively than other regions. Also, I heard that the operator of the South crisis management center was selected, but the location has not been decided yet. We also heard excellent announcements about the new initiative of King County Administrator Jahilai, Breaking the Cycle. This is a project in which 45 business groups submit proposals to the Administrator in November of 2027. They are analyzing data and looking at the transformation and profit business groups. They also attended the next committee I will tell you about. It was the Regional Law and Justice Committee. Oh, to be clear about the schedule, the meeting is usually held on Thursday, Thursday, at 7.30 a.m. Also, there is a meeting like a caucus for our region, so I met with other cities in the south and east regions to discuss more specific public safety issues, and these meetings are also held on Thursday, Thursday afternoon. The King County Administration announced the work they are doing. The next meeting was South King County Housing and Housing Partners. It is known as Skip. Mr. Gabin was active in my previous committee meeting. I had a really interesting and beneficial year. I signed up for a new board of directors. I planned all the meeting schedule. The next meeting is scheduled to be held face-to-face on September 18. The SKIP meeting is usually held on Friday, the third week of every month. Here are the news related to the bill. We are discussing the relevant legislation being reviewed at the Olympics. This year, we reviewed the 2027-2028 work plan and budget adopted by the June Development Commission and the Board of Directors. We also talked about the announcement of the ACHIWI, a regional association related to housing, and discussed their achievements and lessons as a group that is similar to us. In addition, we also discussed the tax exemption benefits through small-scale regional investment, the resolution of the places we meet, and the guidelines of the housing capital fund. The face-to-face meeting is usually held at room 5. Therefore, if you want to attend the next meeting, you can come to room 5. We also discussed the housing capital fund guidelines. And we reviewed all the projects we support. The renters are eligible to skip a certain amount of money, and we put this money into a certain cheap housing project that will be helpful to the region. Therefore, we will review the success of the project, make a contract with various housing partners and developers, and find out about the impact of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, 21 Stone Century Road to Housing Act, on the way to 21st century homes. We heard the announcement from the Adam Smith House Office. There was also a great announcement about the first place in the law in 2027. We set a priority for the upcoming meeting and are thinking about how to adjust it. On September 18, there is actually a visit to a cheap residential area. The time is from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. I hired a new board member. Congratulations to Mr. Lee Gi-do, the chairman of the Renton City Planning Committee. He is the new board member of SKIP. Related to the investment that breaks the vicious circle mentioned earlier, They have asked us how to increase affordable housing and what kind of income they will use. They are thinking about paying off new taxes. We are reviewing whether to maintain existing taxes. Well, I raised my hands and said very passionately. If they pay off another burden, it will probably cost a lot. It's because I'm really tired of the burden and the impact of the property tax on King County every year. So I'm going to use the funds from the existing burden I strongly delivered the opinion that I prefer. They are considering the best starts for kids burden, and the funds will be spent on cheap housing supply and housing-related financial support in South King County. In my opinion, rather than adding a property tax burden for another project, I think it will be much more productive and preferred for our residents. So I provided such feedback. They will receive opinions until November and provide feedback. Now, let's check my memo again. I'll skip the regional legislature and the law-abiding story, and now I'll tell you about the Yanghyeong General Assembly. This is the General Assembly of the week that the governor appointed me. Let me tell you what the priority ranking of the Yanghyeong General Assembly this year is. We have a meeting every Monday and Friday on Zoom, and you can watch the meeting through TVW. You can watch all of our meetings on TVW via streaming. However, the Yangyeong Standard Committee is having a very good discussion on the criminal prevention system. Are you curious about what the criminal prevention system is? Well, this is for middle-ranking criminals with a certain age. Basically, if a certain control condition is completed, it can be transferred to the government, or it can be transferred to the government. In fact, it makes it disappear as if there was no record of middle crime. Of course, this is only true for certain middle criminals and middle criminals. We are currently reviewing the recommendations to be delivered to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court. The goal of our committee is to present recommendations to the Supreme Court. We are not a medical decision-making institution, but a place that provides our professional knowledge and insight. It is a group made up of very diverse members. Those who have experience in the past, national lawyers, prosecutors, judges, police officers, security officers, There are people from various backgrounds, including many victims, advocates, and members of the committee. We are having a very productive and meaningful conversation about how to make the system easier to access, as well as updating the double standard table. In fact, the early criminal exemption has been expanded, because there have been few cases of use in the past few years. Despite the increase in qualifications, it is rare to actually use the law to exempt the perpetrator of the crime. So we are having a very good conversation right now. We decided to exclude a few things such as violence, car theft, and stalking for domestic violence. Domestic violence-related crimes are excluded from the first, second, and third crimes exempted, so they are not included. Once again, we need a thorough discussion on what is the target. The last committee I am going to participate in is the South King County Leadership Game and Change Link Committee. This is a part of the Youth Justice Union, CCYJ, which supports teenagers who have been involved in unauthorized graduation or gags at school, and in particular, the Link team consists of service providers and non-profit group leaders who are active on site. Commander Rutledge often participates in the committee meetings with me. In fact, I think you attend more often than me. They discuss a lot about the intervention of youth gangs and prevention of violence in South King County. We hear about the violence prevention program of the Harvard Hospital and the Washington-based young people's human trafficking response. We also hear from the violence reduction committee and discuss regional response to the King County gun violence that I mentioned earlier. As you can see, links, skip, South Regional Legislative Council and Legislative Council, There are multiple parts between several councils, and this is a great help to the work. Yes, this is all the councils that I participate in from regional units to regional units, and I leave a very large amount of notes. If you need my memo, I will gladly share it with you. Do you have any questions?

I don't think you have any questions. Thank you for your very comprehensive report today. It was my mistake to give my fellow members a chance first. I think I'm going to set the standard too low, so I think I should have done it first. Thank you for your sincere report on each of your members. Then let's get started. The numerous terms of our committee and meeting are like alphabet soup, so it's really fun. First of all, I would like to tell you about RTC. Oh, not Lenten Technical College. This is the King County Regional Transportation Committee, which I am participating in through the Sound City Association. Like Mr. Prince, my term as a member of this committee is about to end. So I would like to recommend support to fellow members who are interested in metro consultation. There are quite important tasks scheduled for the next few years. I've already been in a relationship once, so I can't come back. I'll try, but I've been pretty good at this job, and I think it's very important to maintain the representative nature of this place when it comes to things to come in the future. I have a lot to do in the future for the plan to be approved in 2028. Next year, we will focus on updating the three major policy documents of Metro, strategy plans, service guidelines, and long-term plans, Metro Connects and Metro Connects. It's a lot of work. I was lucky enough to participate in the last update, It would be nice if the voice of Renton would be reflected in the process of leading the next update. Among the other plans we received this year, there are already released Metro Next Stop and Metros Next Stop. I don't know if you've seen it. It was released in June. Looking for related memos. The page aims to expand the service by 12% by 2038 for Metro Next Stop, and includes a new 9-bus route and 4 rapid ride, rapid ride route installation plans. It is known that the eye line of Renton is also included here. A meeting is scheduled on Wednesday, and one of the items is an update related to the rapid ride. This plan also aims to improve the range, speed and reliability, and modernize vehicles. At the Wednesday meeting, we will also discuss the previous bus movement, and the safety and security issues that have been discussed are also on the agenda. This year, a briefing on the Metro Safety Task Force has already been held. This year, the RTC, the regional public transport committee, was busy with a lot of briefings and information sharing. There was also a preliminary report on the FIFA World Cup. We are planning to receive a summary report on how FIFA will proceed in the future. According to the initial report, it was quite successful in terms of the metro, considering the stress test, and the response was good. At that time, I heard similar experiences from others who used the public transportation system. I heard similar opinions from both people who were going to go to see the game and people who were going to go to work or move as usual. Yes, I think the relevant content of the Regional Transportation Commission is enough. Let's check it out. Oh, there's one more update after the unmanned vehicle. We're going to talk about the fully electrified Tukwila, Tukwila base replacement on Wednesday. It's the Rapid Ride, Rapid Ride update of I, J, K, R lines that I mentioned. And there will be a briefing update on the use and distribution of the ORCA card. In particular, there are many cases where young people do not have an ORCA card even though it is free because they do not need to pay for it. I would like to recommend that all young people use the card. The next committee to report is the GMPC of the Development Management Planning Committee. There are a few tasks that overlap as mentioned by Mr. Prince, but there are a few more things to deal with at GMPC than RTC. It is a measure to determine the entire center of the county, and there are two places, Rainier Grady and Sunset District, in Renton. So I'm going to promote and recommend it. There will also be a few appointment procedures. This committee is a place to appoint a member of the affordable housing committee. If you are interested in fellow members, you can apply for the same application period. This committee has that right of appointment. The interesting thing is that the gmpc itself is an advisory body. In the end, the Household Supply Committee is structured as a financial aid for the advisory committee. Nevertheless, all house supply recommendations that come out through GMPC are first reviewed by the Household Supply Committee, so it performs a very important task. Therefore, I encourage many people to watch this process. As I said before, we are planning to appoint new members at the SCI. There are no newly recommended members at this meeting, and only the re-appointments of existing members are available. I think there will be a few places where you can apply for the next term. At this point, the end of the year is approaching, and it is a bit strange to hear such news, but it seems to have been delivered at the right time. A few technical amendments to the county-wide planning policy are also being carried out. If you think about the other cases that went through this year's committee, it seems that most of them were related to updates. The last committee to mention is the East Rail Regional Advisory Committee, which you might think I like the most, but I won't pick the one I like the most. This committee is actually connected to the Centennial Trail, which directs the work of the East Rail Ferris wheel from the lantern, which is the southern end, to the Odin Bill. Honestly, when the lantern section is completed, you will be able to use many miles of trails through Lake to Sound Trail, Cedar River Trail, Interurban Trail, and Green River Trail. It can be said that it is a really important component. Currently, the focus is on Cool Now Park. Fortunately, I was able to have a meeting at Cool Now Park in July this year. We gathered at the site to discuss the work, but most of the meetings focused on the site tour and updates, so that we could directly check the tasks we were doing along the railroad track. As you can see, the current trail suddenly stops at the end of the south and continues straight to the railroad. It is not naturally connected to the park or neighborhood. Therefore, we discussed the tasks to make it easier for visitors to pass the Cool Now Park, even though Boeing can continue to transport the body by accepting or removing the existing railroad width. It is very difficult to cooperate with huge companies such as Burrington and Northern, as you well know, and the work is still underway. This is closely related to our Lanternpros plan, that is, the park and recreation open space plan. We discussed the accessibility to provide to our community members by taking Lantern's core area as the center of these regional trails, and thank you very much to the employees who attended the meeting. Especially from East Rail to Lake Samami, I think it was a big topic of conversation about how to move on to the next stage of this process. Of course, we have to complete that section first to the north entrance of Houghton Park, but it is very interesting to see the vision of what this place will ultimately look like beyond that range. Wilburton trestle or I-90 iron crosswalk And just like what's going on in the middle of the North, we're getting a lot of positive momentum from other members of the RAC so that we can get attention as much as we pay attention to Seattle. We are one of the last puzzles that have fallen out to connect this section to a continuous pathway, and we are very excited to see that we will be able to complete it soon. That's all I have to report on the regional committee. Is there anyone who has any questions among the fellow members? Or is there anything you're curious about today's topic or something you haven't talked about during the press conference?

Actually, can I ask you a question? Yes. Did you discuss Sam Chastain in East Rail? Thank you for pointing it out. As you said.

In fact, there was a discussion about it at the face-to-face meeting. We looked at the waterworks as a possible connection point and talked about its vision together. Of course, the members of the committee were not as deeply aware of that vision as you were. We are also looking forward to that possibility. So, pointing out the other side, yes, I think this is a very important connection point that leads to the city's strength. It was good to be able to say that. Of course, we were able to talk about the works that the city has done so far to check where that point will lead and to promote it. And of course, Steve Buckist also mentioned the support he showed to pursue this. Yes, it was definitely discussed. Thank you. Thank you. I have a question for Mr. Cohen.

Yes. Um, can I hear an update from the RRFA representative, that is, the representative of the fire department in the southern region? I know that two of the three of you attended, and I would like to hear an update from them.

Of course. I don't know if the slide for the regional committee is ready, but I think I can add it right now. I'm really sorry.

I think it's probably the regional fire department. I don't know. I just forgot. Yes, I'm sorry, but you can make your own decisions. I completely ignored it.

Yes, I went out.

So, then, yes, I haven't seen you for a while, but I met you today, and I approved several provisions for the support of the government's funds. That's really all. and talked about some of the major events that occurred during the summer. Yes, to add one more thing, I think that the solution to some extent has been made clear about the wildfire cases we saw and the things that happened repeatedly, and that a solution has been prepared for that part. It's probably about responsible individuals. Yes, I'm used to the adjustment. I don't expect it to be a problem in the future. If such a thing continues to happen in the local community, Well, you have to turn off the fire. It's not a deliberate joke. Yes, but other than that, as you said, I'd like to tell you that it wasn't different from usual. Nothing special happened. Thank you. It's less comprehensive than other reports. 알겠습니다. 더 이상 논의할 내용이 없는 것 같으니 오후 7시에 있을 전체 위회 회의 전 휴식 시간을 갖기 전에 하실 말씀이 없다면 회의를 마치겠습니다. 없으신 것 같으니 전체 위원회 회의를 사내합니다. 감사합니다. 감사합니다.
