BAGSHAW WILL BE WITH US SOON.
A QUICK REVIEW OF TODAY'S
AGENDA, WE HAVE DONE THE CALL
TO ORDER, WE WILL DO THE CHAIRS
REPORT AND MOVED TO PUBLIC
COMMENT AND ITEMS OF BUSINESS,
WE HAVE SEVEN MATTERS.
AS YOU KNOW, ON THE AGENDA
ITEMS 1 TO 3 ARE APPOINTMENTS
TO THE SEATTLE PARKS DISTRICT
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
SEAN PARKS AND MISSED DO WE
PARTNER DEWEY POTTER WILL BE
HERE, MATHEW McBRIDE WILL NOT
BE HERE.
WE WILL DISCUSS DISCOVERY PARK
WHICH WE BRIEFED ON COMMITTEE
JENNY 16, AND ITEMS FIVE
THROUGH SEVEN ARE REGARDING THE
CENTRAL WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENT.
I WILL NOW GIVE A BRIEF,
ANOTHER MORE FORMALIZED CHAIR
REPORT, THE THREE APPOINTMENTS
FOR THE SEATTLE PARKS DISTRICT
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE , I WILL

TABLE FOR BRIEF DISCUSSION, WE
WILL PROCEED ON THE POTENTIAL

THEN WE WILL TAKE POTENTIAL

WE HAD THIS COMMITTEE LAST

WATERFRONT, A BRIEF OVERVIEW
AGAIN BY THE OFFICE OF THE
WATERFRONT ON EACH ORDINANCE,
WE WILL VOTE ON THE ORDINANCES
IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER, THE
LID ORDER, THE MAINTENANCE

PROTEST WAIVER AGREEMENT.
AND WITH THAT, LET'S DO PUBLIC
COMMENT.
HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE HAVE
SIGNED UP?
TWO.
GO-AHEAD.
LET ME DO A QUICK, AS YOU KNOW,
WHEN WE DO PUBLIC COMPED
COMMENT, COMMENT ON THE ITEMS
ON TODAY'S AGENDA.
YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES, WHEN HER
NAME IS CALLED, STATE YOUR NAME
FOR THE RECORD AND THANK YOU
FOR COMING HERE TODAY.
>> WE HAVE JOAN PAULSON.
>> MY NAME IS JOAN PAULSON AND
I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE
AT-LARGE, THE AT-LARGE MEMBER
FOR THE PIKE PLACE MARKET
CONSTITUENCY.
I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AND
ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF COUNCIL
BILL 119447 AND 119448.
WHICH WILL UNDERMINE THE
CHARTER FOR THE PIKE PLACE
MARKET PRESERVATION DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY, THESE TWO COUNCIL
BILLS ALLOW THE OPERATIONS OF
PIKE PLACE MARKET OUTSIDE THE
FEDERALLY DESIGNATED MARKET
HISTORICAL DISTRICT.
THIS IS BEING DONE BY THE
MISREPRESENTATION OF THE
BOUNDARIES AND AUTHORITY, NOT
INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET.
THE REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE
THE CITY COUNCIL IS BEING TOLD
WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR AND NOT
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
I AM HERE TODAY TO TRY TO AVOID
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE HEAD
TAX.
AS CITY COUCIL HAD BEEN TARRED
AND FEATHERED UNJUSTLY.
I HAVE BROUGHT TO YOU THREE MAPS
THAT NEED TO BE COMPARED WITH
THE MAPS AND INFORMATION YOU DO
NOT HAVE IN YOUR PACKET.
YOUR INFORMATION DOES NOT
DISTINGUISH THESE FLAWS IN YOUR
VOTING ACTION TODAY.
THE DEVIL IS TRULY IN THE
DETAILS AND YOU ARE NOT BEING
TOLD WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
IF YOU THINK THAT THE MARKET
HISTORICAL COMMISSION WOULD BE
IN A POSITION OF TELLING YOU
THESE ISSUES, ARE MISTAKEN.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO COMBAT THE
$900 MILLION PROJECT BEFORE YOU.
THE MAPS THAT I HAVE, ONE, THE
MARKET HISTORICAL, I'M SORRY,
THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN OF 1974.
WHICH SHOWS THE BOUNDARIES AT
THE EDGE OF THE AURORA, HIGHWAY
99.
IT DOES NOT EXTEND WESTWARD.
ANOTHER MAP IS WHAT THE MARKET
HISTORICAL COMMISSION
BOUNDARIES WHICH IS IN THE
WEBSITE FOR THE CITY.
WHICH POOCH IS PART OF THE
BOUNDARIES WITHIN HIGHWAY 99,
NOT THE CASE, LEGALLY SPEAKING.
AND A THIRD MAP HAS TO DO WITH
WHAT MARKET PDA PUT TOGETHER
FOR THE GUIDELINES FOR TOUR
LICENSING, WHICH TOOK THE WHOLE
AREA OF HIGHWAY 99 AS THE
HISTORICAL DISTRICT.
THE ONE YOU WANT TO FOLLOW IS
THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN, AND YOU
WANT TO ASK THE RIGHT
QUESTIONS.
SO, I PROVIDED THREE COPIES FOR
YOU TODAY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> JUST TRYING TO AVOID ANOTHER
ROUND OF TAR AND FEATHERING
BECAUSE THIS IS THE ELEPHANT IN
THE MEETING AND IT WILL TURN
INTO THE CAMEL.
>> OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> NOT A GOOD IDEA.
>> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE
DOCUMENTS AS WELL.
>> NICOLE GRANT.
>> GOOD MORNING, COUNCILMEMBER
JUAREZ AND COUNCILMEMBER
GONZALEZ, I REPRESENT UNION
WORKERS IN KING COUNTY.
I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
SAY WE ARE SUPPORTING THE LID
FOR THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT AND
TO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU
HAVE DONE TO BRING THIS
PROPOSAL FORWARD, WE ARE IN
SUPPORT OF THE LEGISLATION, NOT
JUST AS WORKERS, ALSO AS
LANDOWNERS.
AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HALF OF
THE CITY BLOCK AT FIRST AND
BROUGHT INSIDE OF THE L.I.D.,
WE BELIEVE WHAT WILL HAPPEN
DOWN THERE IS GOING TO BE GOOD
FOR THE COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF
NEW CITY OF SEATTLE UNION JOBS
OPERATING THE PARKS DOWNTOWN.
ON THE WATERFRONT AND WE ARE
EXCITED TO SEE THAT.
I KNOW THERE WAS SOME INTEREST
IN PRIVATIZING THOSE POSITIONS
A LONG TIME AGO.
BUT THAT GOT WORKED THROUGH AND
IT IS GREAT TO ADD THIS PARK TO
OUR PORTFOLIO OF CITY PARKS
COMPLETELY.
INCLUDING WITH THE WORKERS THAT
STAFF IT.
AND I'M ALSO GRATEFUL TO THE
MAYOR'S OFFICE AND TO
COUNCILMAN MOSQUEDA FOR HELPING
US ESTABLISH LABOR HARMONY
AGREEMENT LANGUAGE INSIDE THE
ORDINANCE.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR US
BECAUSE IT HELPS WORKERS THAT
MIGHT NOT BE CITY EMPLOYEES,
BUT ARE SERVING OUR COMMUNITY
DOWN AT THE PARK, HAVE AN EASY
PATH TO HAVING A VOICE IF THEY
CHOOSE TO HAVE A UNION.
AND JUST IN GENERAL, THE UNION
MOVEMENT IS IN THE QUALITY OF
LIFE GAME AND HAVING A FACILITY
LIKE THIS DOWNTOWN FOR
EVERYBODY TO ENJOY IS
FOUNDATIONAL TO WHAT WE DO SO
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, NICOLE.

EXPERIENCE AND WHAT YOU HAVE
DONE, I DON'T NEED TO READ A
LOT OF THIS INTO THE RECORD AND
YOU ARE HERE AND I WOULD LIKE
TO HEAR FROM YOU . AND THEN WE
WILL MOVE FORWARD.
>> I CAME TO THE COUNCIL IN
1978 AND WORKED EIGHT YEARS FOR
COUNCILMEMBER MICHAEL HILL AND
SPENT EIGHT YEARS IN THE BUDGET
OFFICE, THE LAST 20 YEARS AT
PARKS.
I RETIRED FIVE YEARS AGO.
I WAS APPOINTED TO MY FIRST TERM
I GUESS THREE YEARS AGO ON THE
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE, THIS COMMITTEE
BRINGS DIVERSITY TO THE TABLE
AND ALSO DIVERSITY OF POINTS OF
VIEW WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT
TO THE PROCESS.
WE HAVE HAD VERY RICH
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT A LOT OF
POLICY ISSUES, WE ARE ABOUT TO
SUBMIT OUR MID FINANCIAL CYCLE
REPORT TO YOU, THAT WILL COME
FROM PARKS WITH A COVER LETTER
FROM THE COMMITTEE,
RECOMMENDING A FEW TWEAKS WE
THINK WILL BE HELPFUL.
>> GREAT.
>> DEWEY , I HAD THE PLEASURE
OF WORKING WITH YOU WHEN I
FIRST CAME ON COUNCIL 10 YEARS
AGO, APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP.
MAYBE YOU CAN DESCRIBE A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE
ON THIS COMMITTEE, HAD WE MAKE
SURE THE PUBLIC KNOWS ABOUT
THESE RICH CONVERSATIONS YOU'RE
HAVING?
BECAUSE NO SMALL PART, WHEN WE
PASSED THE METROPOLITAN PARK
DISTRICT, THERE WERE SOME
CONCERNS WE WOULD NOT BE
TRANSPARENT, WE WERE NOT
ACCOUNTABLE, THE VOTERS WOULD
NOT HAVE A SAY.
HOW DO YOU GET THAT WORD OUT TO
PEOPLE?
>> WELL, WE ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK
ON A SERIES OF YOU KNOW,
ONGOING VISITS TO COMMUNITY
MEETINGS AND OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES, POP-UPS, WHERE
WE WILL GO AS INDIVIDUALS OR
PAIRS, HOWEVER, JUST GO AND
LISTEN.
BECAUSE AS WITH THE PARK BOARD,
THE SAME PEOPLE TEND TO SHOP AT
THE SAME MEETINGS WITH THE SAME
ISSUES.
WE ARE GOING TO BRANCH
OURSELVES OUT INTO THE
COMMUNITY AND LISTEN.
>> I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TOO
TO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN YOU
REALLY ARE ACTIVE, YOU'RE NOT
JUST RUBBERSTAMPED.
>> CORRECT.
>> I THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
THAT, THAT WOULD BE VALUABLE.
>> ESPECIALLY AS WE EMBARK ON
WORK FOR THE NEXT SIX YEAR
FINANCIAL PLAN.
>> RIGHT.
VERY GOOD.

THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO
POINT OUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE
SUCH A GEM, YOU WORKED FOR THE
CITY 36 YEARS, YOU SERVED ON
THE VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE, YOU
ARE AROUND WHEN THE PARKS LEVY
WAS PASSED, YOU HAVE BEEN THE
FACE AND VOICE TO GIVE US
INFORMATION AND YOUR
WILLINGNESS TO SERVE AS A
VOLUNTEER AND SHOW UP AND DO
THE WORK, I WISH MORE PEOPLE IN
THE PUBLIC WOULD BE PART OF THE
SOLUTION.
I WANT TO THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WE VALUE YOUR WISDOM AND
EXPERIENCE AND I MADE A
MISTAKE, I SHOULD HAVE SAID
THIS IS A REAPPOINTMENT.

COLLEAGUES?

JURISDICTION MEETS THE
REQUIREMENTS OF ORDINANCE 118477
, WHICH ADOPTED INITIATIVE 42

ELSE?

>> TRACI RATZLIFF OF COUNCIL
CENTRAL STAFF, PRETTY
STRAIGHTFORWARD, SIMPLE PIECE
OF LEGISLATION THAT GIVES THAT
PARTIAL TRANSFER JURISDICTION TO
SPU SO THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF
THEIR WATER AND SEWER PIPES, WE
DON'T ANTICIPATE THERE BEING

COURSE WE HAD A HEARING
EXAMINER WHICH HAD FOUR
HEARINGS DURING THE SUMMER IN
JULY, THE REPORT CAME OUT IN

COMMENTS AND WE HAD PEOPLE THAT

WITH THAT, LET'S GO THROUGH, IT
IS FOUR PAGES.
YOUR SLIDE IS FOUR PAGES.
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
THANK YOU, CHAIR JUAREZ.
LIKE YOU SAID, THIS IS A BIG
MOMENT FOR US, ALONG ROAD WITH
A LOT OF TWISTS AND TURNS, WE
ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE TO
TAKE THE NEXT STEP WITH THIS
PACKAGE OF LEGISLATION.
AS WE DISCUSSED AT OUR LAST
COMMITTEE BRIEFING IN DEPTH,
THERE ARE THREE ELEMENTS WE ARE
GOING TO QUICKLY SUMMARIZE
AGAIN THIS MORNING AND THEN WE
WILL LET YOU TAKE THE STEPS
AFTER THAT.
AGAIN, L.I.D.
FORMATION ORDINANCE, THE STATE
REQUIRED STEP FOR THE ACTUAL
FORMATION OF THE WATERFRONT
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.
PROTEST WAIVER AGREEMENT WHICH
WILL ESTABLISH AGREEMENT BETWEEN
AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS AND
THE CITY AS TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE L.I.D.
AND THE OPERATIONS AND
MANAGEMENT OF THE NEW
WATERFRONT.
AND FINALLY AN ORDINANCE THAT
WILL FINALLY ESTABLISH OUR OWN
STRATEGY AND PARTNERSHIP AS
WELL AS OUR FINAL PHILANTHROPIC
FUNDING.
JOSHUA, WALK US THROUGH EACH
PIECE.
>> GREAT.
WE WILL DO THIS QUICKLY, THE
L.I.D.
ORDINANCE IS THE SECOND IN THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS TO FORM THE
L.I.D..
THERE ARE COUPLE THINGS THAT
FORM THE LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT, IT CAPS THE AMOUNT AT
$161 AND OBLIGATES THE CITY TO
FIND AND COMPLETE THE
IMPROVEMENTS.
IT DOES NOT, THE ACTUAL
INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS WILL BE
ADDRESSED LATER ON THIS YEAR.
THEN WE HAVE THE PROTEST WAIVER
AGREEMENT PER STATE LAW, WE CAN
ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH
PROPERTY OWNERS, THIS ALLOWS US
THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS
CONCERNS WE HAVE HEARD OVER THE
PAST YEAR AND A HALF, OVER 100
BRIEFINGS, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT
LAST TIME.
THE PROPERTY OWNERS THEN COMMIT
TO WAIVE THEIR PROTESTS AND
THEIR ABILITY TO LEGALLY
CHALLENGE THE L.I.D.
AND THE CITY THEN HAS REVISED
THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO 160 MILLION
DOWN FROM 200 MILLION AND THEN
ALSO COMMITS TO APPROVE AND
IMPLEMENT THE OPERATIONS AND
MAINTENANCE ORDINANCE.
THE FUNDING OPERATIONS AND
MAINTENANCE ORDINANCE, THERE
ARE A FEW THINGS, IT RE-COMMITS
FRIENDS AT WATERFRONT SEATTLE
TO NOT ONLY RAISE $100 MILLION
THEY COMMITTED IN THE PAST, IT
NOW UPS THAT TO $110 MILLION,
OUTLINES THE CONTRIBUTION
SCHEDULE, WE FORMALIZED THE
LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
FRIENDS OF WATERFRONT SEATTLE
AND PARKS, WE TALKED A LOT
ABOUT THAT.
ESSENTIALLY, PARKS DOES ALL THE
MAINTENANCE, FRIENDS DOES ALL
THE PROGRAMMING.
IS A PILOT AGREEMENT COUNCIL
WOULD BE AUTHORIZING US TO
ENTER INTO FOUR TWO YEARS FOR
PIER 62 WHICH WOULD BEGIN LATER
THIS YEAR, WE WOULD BE BACK TO
REVIEW THAT WITH YOU.
AND IT OUTLINES WHAT A LONG-
TERM MANAGEMENT LOOKS LIKE, THE
BUDGET AND THEN CALLS TO COME
BACK WITH PARK BOULEVARD BUT
THIS LEGION.
FINALLY, IT CREATES THE
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, WE TALK A
LOT ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE
LAST TIME.
THE LAST SLIDE I WANT TO
QUICKLY REVIEW FOR YOU, WE WENT
THROUGH THIS LAST TIME, WHAT WE
ADDED IN HERE IN RESPONSE TO
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ'S
RECOMMENDATIONS, WE MADE IT
CLEAR ALTHOUGH WE WOULD BRING A
BUDGET AMENDMENT TO YOU IN
FEBRUARY, COUNCIL LIKELY WOULD
NOT VOTE ON THAT UNTIL APRIL.
AFTER THE PROTEST IN LEGAL
CHALLENGE PERIODS HAVE
COMPLETED.
I WILL ALSO NOTE WE HAD AT THE
HEARING EXAMINER'S REPORT TO
THE CLERK'S FILE.
>> I WAS GOING TO NOTE THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK IS A
MEMBER GONZALEZ FOR HER
EXCELLENT RECOMMENDATION, IN
THE L.I.D.
DOCUMENT ON PAGE 4, IT TALKS
ABOUT THE HEARING EXAMINER'S
REPORT WHICH WILL BE PART OF
THE RECORD AND PART OF THE
CLERK FILE COMPLETED AUGUST 31,
2018 AND ISSUED SEPTEMBER 2018.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE
EVEN THOUGH IT IS 170 PAGES, 16
PAGES IS THE REPORT, OF THE 16
PAGES, ONLY EIGHT PAGES ARE
DATING COMMENTS CONCERNING
CONCERNS AND OBSERVATIONS.
I DON'T WANT THEM TO COME TO
COME TO CONCLUSIONS, MAINLY
NOTED THOSE CONCERNS, THE FOUR,
THE WATERFRONT AND THOSE
AGAINST THE WATERFRONT, I
THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD WE DID
THOSE FOUR PUBLICANS AND THANK
YOU FOR MAKING THAT
RECOMMENDATION ARE THANK YOU
FOR INCLUDING IT.
>> I MADE A GENTLE REQUEST.
>> COUNCILMEMBER BACK SHOP, I
WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT
THE FULL COUNCIL POSSIBLE VOTE
ON MONDAY IS ON THE L.I.D.
LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING FROM MY
COLLEAGUES? THIS WOULD BE THE
TIME.
>> NO.
HOW MANY MEETINGS WE HAVE
ATTENDED, I ALSO WANT TO SAY
THANKSTO THOSE IN THE
AUDIENCE, WE WOULD NOT BE HERE
BUT FOR THE WORK OF THE PUBLIC,
THE COMMITTEE.
HEIDI, YOU HAVE BEEN AWESOME
WITH FRIENDS OF THE WATERFRONT,
NICOLE GRANT, THANK YOU FOR ALL
YOUR HELP AROUND LABOR.
ANGIE, THE WORK YOU AND YOUR
COLLEAGUES HAVE DONE FOR THE
ENGINEERING AND DESIGN.
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IT, I
WOULD SAY WITH A SLIGHT
COMPLAINT, YOU HAVE BEEN DOING
THIS THREE YEARS, THIS IS MY
50th YEAR ON THIS PROJECT.
>> YOU HAVE ME BEAT.
WHILE
>> I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WE
ARE HERE, I HAVE ALSO TAKEN
MANY MANY MEETINGS OVER THE
YEARS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
HAPPY.
MY NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS WITH THE
L.I.D..
AGAIN, I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY
EVERY MEETING, I AM GROUND ZERO
ON THIS WATERFRONT L.I.D.
, YES MY HUSBAND AND I ASSUMING
THIS PASSES WILL PARTICIPATE IN
THE L.I.D.
I HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE
ELECTIONS OFFICE TO BE ABLE TO
VOTE AND I FULLY INTEND TO BE
VOTING YES, TO BE SUPPORTING
THIS.
I BELIEVE OUR PROPERTY VALUES
ARE GOING TO INCREASE.
I THINK IT IS FAIR I'M GOING TO
BE PAYING AN ADDITIONAL $8000
OVER 20 YEARS OR WHATEVER MY
SHARE IS AND I JUST REALLY
RESPECT THE WORK YOU, MARSHALL
AND JOSHUA HAVE BEEN DOING WITH
OUR NEIGHBORS.
I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS
THAT SAY MY PROPERTY TAXES
GOING TO GO UP ANYWAY, I WILL
BE PAYING FOR IT.
THIS IS SPECIAL, THIS IS
DIFFERENT, THIS HAS BEEN FOR 15
YEARS, SOMETHING WE DISCUSSED,
THE LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
FROM THE DOCUMENTS, I WENT BACK
AND LOOKED AT THE I DRAFTED IN
2004 WHEN WE HAD OUR FIRST
DESIGN MEETING.
ALL THAT WE HAVE ENVISIONED
HAVE COME TO PASS, IN NO SMALL
PART BECAUSE OF THE DEDICATED
WORK YOU HAVE BEEN DOING.
SO, MANY THANKS.
LET'S VOTE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ MAY
HAVE A GENTLE REMINDER OF
SOMETHING.
>> GENTLE REMINDER.
DO I LIKE THE NO, GOING ALONG
WITH THE THANKS, REALLY WANT TO
COMMEND THE GOOD WORK OF THE
PRIOR PARKS CHAIR AND THE
CURRENT PARKS CHAIR FOR ALL OF
THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE TO
REALLY MAKE SURE WE ARE GETTING
THIS RIGHT AND IT IS TRANSPARENT
AND JUDICIOUS AND ALL THOSE
GOOD THINGS.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF THAT
HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS AND
THE VOLUNTEERS I'M EXCITED
ABOUT FINALLY SEEING THIS MOVE
FORWARD AND REALLY EXCITED ABOUT
THE AMOUNT OF GOOD UNION LABOR
JOBS THAT WE ARE CREATING BY
VIRTUE OF TAKING THIS VOTE AS
WELL, IT IS A WIN-WIN.
>> WAIT UNTIL WE DO THE NHL
TRAINING CENTER.
>> MORE JOBS.
MAKING THOSE JOBS.
>> YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
YES.

>> I JUST BROKE 12 LAWS THERE
BUT OKAY.
I WILL MOVE FORWARD ON THIS
