Student planned shooting at International School BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

A judge ordered a 17-year-old Bellevue student remain in juvenile detention Tuesday following his ar-rest last week for allegedly threaten-ing to go on a mass shooting at the International School he attends.

Police responded to multiple 911 calls around 10 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12, from people reporting a high school senior made threats to shoot

up the school. One student inter-viewed by police said he overheard the high school senior tell another student earlier that week there would be a school shooting and he would post the time when it was supposed to happen on Facebook the day before. According to the Bellevue police report, no such threats were found on the student's Facebook page.

That same student told police he received a text from the suspect on

Thursday, Feb. 12, stating, "24 hours from now we'll be dead." The Inter-national School was closed Feb. 13 due to the threat, and the 17-year-old student was arrested for felony harassment outside his Bellevue home that morning, presumably as he prepared to go to school.

The Bellevue Reporter is not publishing the name of the student, as he is a minor and has not yet been formally charged with a crime.

Another student interviewed by police said the high school senior told him he planned on "shooting up the school," and was selling his belongings to raise the cash to buy firearms, according to the police re-port. The suspect is alleged to have told his classmate he had raised $2,000 to buy body armor and a high-capacity gun magazine, with the goal of acquiring a handgun.

After a two-year construction cycle that included the engineering challenges of building a round per-formance venue into a hillside and harnessing natural light and geothermal heat, the Bellevue Youth Theatre will open to the public on March 14.

Crossroads police substation changing location to mallCurrent site slated to become a Jamba JuiceBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue Police Department will move out of the Crossroads substation it has operated out of since the mid-'90s into a new space at the mall this spring.

"It's going to be the same layout, almost, and then an additional meet-ing room," said Bellevue Police Ofc. Craig Hanaumi, who handles com-munity outreach from the Crossroads substation, "which is my personal favorite."

The substation will move into a larger

space next to Crunch Fitness. The cur-rent station space is set to be remodeled for a new Jamba Juice bar, said Cross-roads Mall property manager Susan Benton. Hanaumi said the new substa-tion location will benefit Crunch and Stone Gardens at the mall, with a police presence closer to areas of reported vehicle prowls.

It also positions the station closer to the Crossroads Community Center, where the BPD offers self-defense class-es and takes calls related to incidences at nearby parks, Hanaumi said.

The Crossroads substation is partly

operated using 10 volunteers, working 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday. The substation had 2,200 walk-ins in 2014.

"Different days more people come in. Their questions are not always police-related," Hanaumi said, add-ing a number of residents come in for information about conceal carry and other permits. "We're going to be open the whole time someplace."

Benton said the plan is for the new substation to open in April.

The student told police the 17-year-old suspect approached him the next day to see if he would join in shooting up the school, but he declined. He told police he was later told when the shooting would occur.

According to the police report, the suspect does not have a criminal history and his parents do not own any registered firearms at the Bellevue home in which they all reside.

Police interviewed the 17-year-old student following his arrest, where the honor roll student told a detective he does not get along with many students, has few friends and had been consider-ing suicide for the past five years, according to the police report. The student also reported having anger management issues due to being bullied and unpopular at school.

The student admitted he did not have body armor, but had been selling his belongings to raise money, having about $1,000 in his bedroom, ac-cording to the Bellevue Police report, adding he researched past school shootings — like Columbine — and firearms online, which calmed him. He also admitted to openly talking about wanting to shoot up the school while he was there.

He told police he convinced his mother to take him to a Bellevue shooting range last year, where he planned to kill himself in front of his mother, but then changed his mind, according to the report.

The King County Prosecutor's Office has until Thursday to issue a decision whether to pursue charges against the International School senior. Po-lice objected to the student's release from custody in the report due to his threats of suicide and to harm others.

The city of Bellevue will host a reception for the public to meet several finalists for police chief while they're here for in-person interviews next week.

The names of the unspecified number of finalists in this second-round search will not be released until early next week, according to a city news release. The reception is to be

held 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26, at Bellevue City Hall.The public reception is part of a two-day interview sched-

ule that will also include meetings with the City Council, community members and city staff, according to the news release. City Manager Brad Miyake expects to make a final hiring decision in March.

Miyake passed up on five candidates for the position in November, electing to do a more targeted search using the Police Executive Research Firm. The city paid the Mercer Group more than $21,000 to conduct the first search for a new police chief, following Linda Pillo's retirement last April.

hang out," said McClain of the grassy roof.

The main black-box theater (in the round) is equipped with cameras that can be used to broadcast plays on flatscreen televi-sions hanging around the BYT, for patrons arriving late and also for actors and staff to know at what point a performance is at from nearly every part of the facility.

McClain said he's ex-cited about the 360-degree catwalk, accessible by only one location in the theater, adding equipment can be lowered for those youth and volunteers with disabil-ities — about 12 percent of volunteers — that prevent them from ascending a staircase.

"It's a great acting space," he said. "We're going to use it for a show."

Behind the main theater space is a large rollup door that turns the acting space into an amphitheater — the first in Bellevue — the audience now able to sit outside, McClain said. He

added outdoor shows can quickly be moved indoors during periods of inclem-ent weather. The first amphitheater production will be "10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse," starting in August.

Twenty staff will work out of office space that doubles as the theater's box office, not including BYT's 200 annual volunteers. One room will be used by the Bellevue Youth Theatre Foundation for fundrais-ing, the organization bring-ing in $15,000-$75,000 annually. The old perfor-mance space at the former Ivanhoe Elementary School

will continue to be used for rehearsals and set design, McClain said.

A ribbon cutting will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, March 14, followed by tours and demonstra-tions until 1 p.m. The first performance, "Oblio and the Pointless Forest," runs March 20-29, and is suit-able for all ages. It is based on "The Point," by musician Harry Nilsson.

"The show is about diver-sity and acceptance," Mc-Clain said, "and that's what this theater is all about."

QUOTE

OF NOTE

E D I T O R I A L

Keep minimum wage the same across the state

The $15 an hour minimum wage got another twist this week with a bill introduced in the state Sen-ate. Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, would take

away local authority to raise the minimum wage while peg-ging the statewide minimum wage to new standards.

It’s an idea that has merit and deserves attention.Seattle voters last year approved a $15 an hour minimum

wage, which will be phased in over several years depending on such things as company size. Under Miloscia’s plan, the state’s minimum wage instead would rise based on urban inflation and personal income growth. Miloscia says those factors would boost the minimum wage about 45 cents each year. It would take longer to reach $15, but it would get there faster than under the state formula now.

That likely won’t sit well with backers of the $15 an hour wage, but a statewide system makes sense.

The problem with local options is they can produce confusion and sometimes unintended consequences when one city bumps up against another. That was the case some years back regarding blood-alcohol levels that would trigger a DUI in Bellevue and Redmond. A motor-ist having some drinks in a restaurant in the Overlake area could drive legally on the Bellevue side of 148th Avenue Northeast. Yet, just across the street in Redmond, the same amount of alcohol in the blood could trigger a DUI.

Likewise, a business in Seattle, having to pay a higher-than-elsewhere minimum wage, would be at a competitive disadvantage with a similar company operating a few short feet away in a city without the higher wage.

Sure, most businesses further within the Seattle city lim-its won’t face that situation. But the $15 an hour minimum wage already has caused one Seattle company to say it’s transferring some manufacturing jobs to Nevada.

Given the Democratic control of the state House, Mi-loscia’s bill probably will have tough sledding there. But the fact remains we have a statewide minimum wage now. If it needs to be raised higher and faster, then it should be statewide as well.

Energize Eastside about local systemA recent letter to the editor suggested that Puget Sound

Energy’s (PSE) Energize Eastside project was conceived to help balance treaty requirements between the United States and Canada. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Energize Eastside — a project to build a new electric substation and higher capacity transmission lines — has always been about improving the local electric delivery system for PSE’s Eastside-area customers in the face of more than 50 years of unprecedented growth. Respon-sible agencies such as the Puget Sound Regional Coun-cil project this dramatic growth to continue. Energize Eastside is needed to maintain reliable and affordable electricity for nearly 400,000 current and untold future PSE electric customers on the Eastside.

Because the electric system is interconnected for the benefit of all, it is a federal requirement to study all elec-tric transmission projects to ensure there are no adverse impacts to the reliability or operating characteristics of PSE’s or any surrounding utilities’ electric systems. Ener-gize Eastside has been studied to ensure it passes that test, and it does.

Since the inception of the Energize Eastside project, PSE has publicly discussed these studies and how the Energize Eastside project fits into the interconnected system. Details can be found in the published studies available on the Energize Eastside project website: PSE.com/energizeeastside.

The studies also clearly demonstrate that Energize

Eastside is about local Eastside electricity delivery needs. This local need isn’t diminished by the project’s ability to safely integrate into the interconnected electric system.

Jens Nedrud, senior project manager, Puget Sound Energy – Energize Eastside project

Obama college plan sounds good; is it?President Obama’s free community college proposal

may sound good on the surface, but is it?1. Some people are more adapt at the trades vs. college.

Therefore, why leave out trade schools from being free?2. School is mandatory up through high school —

community college is not. Should two years of commu-nity college or a trade school be mandatory and funded by the taxpayers’?

3. If a person has no skin in the game (e.g. it is free), they typically are less motivated to put forth their best effort.

4. We could provide cheap loans, e.g. 1/4 or 1/2 percent interest that must be paid back in a 5-15 years after completion of their education, Or give scholarships requiring effort to attain e.g. tell why I want to succeed, my goals etc. Setup mentoring and measurable progress towards completion.

5. Do something that is not just another step towards an entitlement, which is one of the problems with our country now. Let’s stop that mindset and figure out how to help people succeed. As the saying goes — give a person fish, and they will eat for a day, teach them how to fish and they will eat for a lifetime. Let’s teach people how to succeed in life so they can provide for themselves, and not rely on Uncle Sam who is already in debit over his head.

Updating Bellevue’s comprehensive plan

Development: Encouraging green building in BellevueEditor's Note: The city of Bellevue is updating its com-

prehensive plan. Over the next four weeks, city officials will discuss different parts of the plan on this page. See box on this page for how to comment on the plan and attend an open house.

BY MIKE BRENNANSPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Three years ago, when Jeff Scherpelz and his wife, Erika Rice Scherpelz, decided to build a super-energy efficient home in Bellevue’s Monthaven neighborhood in south Bel-levue, they did so for a variety of reasons.

“I guess partly it’s our philosophy of wanting to conserve resources and make our home as efficient as possible,” said Scherpelz, a software engineer. “But practically, we’ll have lower energy bills.”

The result of their philosophical-yet-practical decision is a comfortable three-bedroom, 2,750-square-foot home. The house captured a five-star rating from Built Green, a nonprofit, residential building program developed by the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish coun-ties.

Green features include LED lighting, triple-paned win-dows, a ductless heating and cooling system, a green roof, the use of pervious surfaces on part of the property and the preservation of trees and natural vegetation. The house is also pre-wired to accommodate rooftop solar panels in the future.

Building highly energy efficient homes in Bellevue is catching on, but slowly. Since 2005 there have been 89 Built Green homes constructed in Bellevue, according to the Master Builders Association, but only eight of those got a five-star rating.

The city of Bellevue wants to encourage more green building techniques like those at Scherpelz’s home and

we’re taking steps to make that happen. We have several staff in our Development Services group who are knowl-edgeable about these techniques and standards. Permitting a green building project takes no longer than a conven-tional project and we’re ready to assist anyone interested in doing so. 

In addition to our experienced staff, we now have an online permitting system that makes the permit process in general easier and more efficient for customers. More specifically, we’ve streamlined permitting for small-scale, solar photovoltaic projects, making it simpler and more cost effective for residents to install rooftop solar panels on their homes.

The issues of green building and energy efficiency are addressed in the draft update of the city’s Comprehensive Plan, which is currently underway. Last updated in 2004, the Comp Plan is the community’s vision for the future of Bellevue, guiding city investments in infrastructure and policy. It helps define the kind of city we want Bellevue to become.

The plan addresses a wide range of topics, including land use, housing, transportation, parks, economic develop-ment and human services. Through the plan, Bellevue can encourage a strong local economy, schools and colleges,

COMMENT ON THE CITY’S COMP PLAN

The city of Bellevue is updating its Comprehensive Plan, the community’s plan for shaping the future of the city. Your thoughts and suggestions are encouraged.If you want to comment on the topic highlighted in today’s story, or any other section of the draft Comp Plan Update, here are ways to do it:• Online Open House: http://bellevue2035.publicmeeting.info• Planning Commission public hearing: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, City Hall, 450 110th Ave. N.E.• More information: http://www.bellevuewa.gov/comp-plan-update.htm

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue’s third recreational marijuana shop, BelMar, began its soft opening Feb. 12, relying mostly on word-of-mouth and curious drivers along 116th Avenue Northeast to draw in customers.

General manager Khang Nguyen said the former Pawn Pros — and Bellevue Auto Performance before that — site is an ideal location for drawing in a fraction of 116th’s heavy weekday vehicle traffic, either interested in making a purchase or to explore BelMar’s product selection.

BelMar’s opening makes it the third recreational mari-juana store to open in Bellevue since licenses were issued by the Washington State Liquor Control Board. Green Theory was first to open last October east of Old Bellevue on Main, followed by Novel Tree in early November.

Nguyen said BelMar receives its marijuana from four indoor grow vendors in Washington, having whittled its options down from about 50. Employees selected them through blind sample testing, Nguyen said, adding not all strains from each of BelMar’s vendors are carried; that would have been more than 40.

“We all unanimously picked the four,” he said. “We’re not going to carry anything that we wouldn’t smoke.”

Nguyen said he hopes to expand its number of suppli-ers, but the vetting process would be long to do them all. When possible, he added, he likes to see a vendor’s facility first.

“I had time to go through 50,” he said of the vendor selection. “There are 500.”

Opening day items of popularity included edibles and marijuana supplier Evergreen’s vaporizer pens, of which BelMar is the flagship retailer, Nguyen said.

BelMar is located at 614 116th Ave. N.E., and its soft hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Satur-day and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays.

BELLEVUE REPORTER

MOD Super Fast Pizza and information technology solutions company Intergen North America are moving bases to the Bellevue Tech-nology Center, according to KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT.

Intergen North America, a leader in Microsoft solu-tions providers, will move from Redmond into a 7,330-square-foot space at the Bellevue Technology Center at Northeast 24th Street and 156th Avenue Northeast, according to the real estate investment trust.

MOD is nearly tripling the size of its corporate office space, with 15,772 square feet being leased at the Bellevue business park, which lines up with the pizza company’s expansion into the East Coast market,

starting with Philadelphia next month.

“It’s our first East Coast store, and then we’ll be fol-lowing with North Carolina, Chicago ...,” said MOD spokeswoman Charlotte Wayte, adding MOD plans to jump from 31 stores to 90 by the end of 2015. “Last year was a big year of open-ings, and well-received in every market.”

MOD also plans to open two more locations in Port-land, and one in Lynnwood, Lacey and Bellevue’s Over-lake area in the next couple months. Eastern Wash-ington locations include Spokane and Yakima.

Wayte said MOD was attracted to the Bellevue Technology Center for its workout facilities, cafe, easy access to State Route 520 and Interstate 405 and office space that allows for an open floor plan.

Big changes are coming at the Crossroads Mall, with new tenants coming in and others shuffling and expanding spaces.

“It’s all a work of domi-nos, trying to fit everyone in here that wants to be here, but also meeting all the de-mands our customers have,” said Susan Benton, prop-erty manager at Crossroads Mall. “We are getting a lot

of questions. There’s a lot of feedback from the custom-ers and public in general.”

Salvatore Lembo’s Piz-zeria Guido has closed at the mall, but a number of its menu items are mov-ing to Firenze Ristorante, Lembo’s other business at the mall. Pizzeria Guido will be replaced by another restaurant.

“We have a new Asian grill concept coming in that will open in late summer from the same owners who own Flying Fish in Seattle, but it won’t be Flying Fish,” Benton said.

Wiggleworks will take over the Paula’s Hallmark space at the end of March

and expand its indoor playground, while Paula’s will take over the side of the vacated Silver Platters space facing the mall’s interior. Benton said Hand & Stone — a massage, facials and waxing franchise — will take over the exterior side of Platters. Paula’s and Hand & Stone are both anticipated to open in late June or early July.

Dress Barn has taken over its sister space at Dress Barn Woman, allowing two new tenants to open up at its old location, Benton said, adding those business-es won’t be announced until the leases are fully executed.

Ulta Beauty is taking over

space at the former Famous Footwear site, and is ex-pected to open in Novem-

ber, following construction. The Bellevue Police

Department’s Crossroads

substation also is relocat-ing from its space next to Chipotle to a larger unit next to Crunch Fitness (See Page 2) to make room for a new Jamba Juice bar.

“We wanted to bring Jamba Juice into the center, so we’re relocating the police department into that area,” Benton said, adding the juice bar should open by late July or early August.

The new BPD Cross-roads substation is expected to open in April, Benton said.

"Being mayor and holding down a full-time job just wouldn't leave me enough time to do the things I need to do."

Balducci's announcement came a week after Hague, who has been on the county council for 20 years, declared her bid for reelection.

"I just feel there's a lot more work to do, especially with the road and transit issues," said Hague, who will now be defending her District 6 seat.

District 6 includes Bellevue, Medina, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point, Beaux Arts, Yarrow Point, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Redmond and Woodinville.

The county councilwoman said she wants to continue focusing on strength-ening economic development on the Eastside, improving government ef-

ficiency with a lean budget and beau-tification projects. In Bellevue, Hague said she wants to find more support for the Tateuchi Center, a performing arts center project lacking more than $130 million in funding to be completed.

"I think we've got an opportunity with Tateuchi to not only do great perfor-mances but also provide another eco-nomic engine on the Eastside," she said.

Balducci said she has assembled a campaign team and raised $15,000 in the first few days since quietly announc-ing her bid. She reports endorsements from U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, 48th District Sen. Cyrus Habib and Rep. Ross Hunter and 41st District Rep. Tana Senn. Bellevue councilmembers Lynne Robinson and John Stokes are also endorsing Balducci, as is former Mayor Connie Marshall.

and a healthy environ-ment.

In the draft Comp Plan Update, language about green building calls for the city to “Support the use of emerging best practices in the area of

green building and site design through the use of pilot programs and model ordinances.” An-other section states that “Green building and low impact development are key strategies to balanc-ing urban growth with environmental protection and achieving Bellevue’s long-term environmental

sustainability.”That’s our big picture.

For Scherpelz, it’s more particular. “It’s definitely worthwhile,” he said of his Built Green home. “The energy savings and per-sonal comfort are worth-while, even if you don’t care about save the planet type stuff.”

Mike Brennan is direc-tor of development services for the city of Bellevue. City staff contributed to this story.

James Whitfield surveyed the crowd of nearly 500 and said he knew the future of the Eastside was in good hands.

BY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

As president of Leadership Eastside, James Whitfield led a panel discussion on Feb. 13 at the Meydenbauer Center, with Greg John-son, president of Wright Runstad; Kimberly Harris, CEO of Puget Sound Energy; and Lauren Thomas, CEO of Hopelink, focused on how those in attendance can do their part to ensure a thriving, healthy community.

"Everyone deserves to thrive in this area," Whitfield told the Reporter. "We can't create a greater future by ourselves, we need everyone in this room."

The luncheon, a "Future-Raiser" not a fundraiser, also served as the kick-off to the group's year-long 10th anniversary celebration.

Those in attendance spent the majority of the time listening and talking to each other about the keys to a healthy community, which

Whitfield listed as "basic needs, health and wellness, education, economy, arts and cul-ture, neighborhoods and communities and a healthy environment."

"You're starting to feel a real charge on the Eastside, people are really rolling up their sleeves and getting work done," Har-ris said. "We're talking about infrastruc-ture constantly in this state, but it can't be just about roads and bridges, we have to

include energy solutions.Each of the attendees were asked to write

down an idea on how they'd like to improve the Eastside community. Students in Leader-ship Eastside's two-year development class will go through all the submissions to decide which project they'll tackle this year. The full list is slated to be released later this year.

Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in the world of sports

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue Bulldogs men's bas-ketball team kept its winning streak alive despite an off-kilter performance against the Olympic Rangers.

Sophomore guard Jalen Ward scored a game-high 33 points, catapulting the Bulldogs to a 92-85 victory against the Rangers on Feb. 11 in Bellevue. The Bulldogs have won 13 consecutive games and improved their overall record to 22-2. Olympic dropped to 5-16 and are winless in Northwest Athletic Conference play. The Bulldogs, who are in first place in the NWAC North Division, didn't have their best game against the last-place Rangers, but still found a way to win. Bulldogs guard Dom Holub, who scored 14 points off the bench, said he wasn't surprised the Rangers brought their "A" game.

"They were hungry and were ready to get after it. They played like they had something to prove and their game spoke for itself," Holub said.

Bellevue head coach Jeremy Eggers was shocked his team wasn't clicking on all cylinders against Olympic.

"I hope it was an eye-opener for us. Overall we didn't do our part," Eggers said. "We have to realize when you are at the top (first place) you are a marked man and teams are coming

after you. If you don't bring it, you're going to lose regardless of who you are playing."

Ward, Holub and Dominique Jordan made key buckets down the stretch to preserve the victory. Bel-levue fell behind Olympic twice early in the second half but made the plays down the stretch when they needed to. Jordan finished with 20 points in the win.

"Fortunately we hit some shots when we needed to and they missed a couple of shots when it was a tight ballgame," Eggers said. "We didn't match their intensity. Luckily it wasn't detrimental to us, but it was a big fac-tor in the game."

Holub said the Bulldogs are focused on making the 2014-15 season a memorable one.

"Our goal from Day 1 was to play in the NWAC tournament. All of these games have been stepping stones to get there. Tonight's performance didn't really show how much work and effort we show every single day at practice," Holub said. "We squeezed by today and live to fight another day."

Foul trouble proved to be a thorn in the side of the Newport Knights in the

Woodinville took advantage of Newport's depleted lineup, captur-ing a 53-48 victory on Feb. 14 at Redmond High School in Redmond. Newport center Calvin Throckmorton was on the bench for most of the sec-

paint and on the perimeter."They are a very tough team to guard.

They can go inside and they can shoot from the outside," Woodinville head coach Mark Folsom said. "They were trying to pound it down low because we were switching everything on the perimeter. That made it tough for us and we struggled offensively. They definitely had us on our heels."

Woodinville led Newport 38-29 with 3:39 left in the third quarter of play but Newport wouldn't go away quietly. Block scored on a driving layup, cutting Woodinville's lead

to 51-48 with 28.3 seconds left in regula-tion. It was the closest the Knights would get in their comeback quest. Newport head coach Steve Haizlip was proud of his team's performance in the face of adversity.

"I thought we battled really well. We were in major foul trouble and the way we kept after it and kept going was amazing," Haizlip said.

Haizlip is glad his team has a chance to continue its postseason run.

"We just get to go a different route," Hai-zlip said after the loss to Woodinville.

Unfortunately for the Knights their sea-son came to an end courtesy of a 50-47 loss to the Redmond Mustangs in a loser-out district playoff game on Feb. 17 at Red-mond High School in Redmond.

Joint replacement isn’t a life saver. But it is a lifestyle saver.

BY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue College will not serve as a satellite campus for Washington State University, according to the college's board of trustees.

Working groups for each of the univer-sities had only met once before Wednes-day's meeting, but talks will continue every other week until they decide if a partnership is mutually beneficial, ac-cording to board chairman Steve Miller.

"This is a prime location for an edu-

cational institution," Miller said of the Bellevue College campus. "We have a density of students, growing industry, supportive community for education, the possibility of big donors in the region, all of which makes this very attractive. The question from our point of view is, given what we're trying to achieve, is this the best way to do it?"

Last fall officials from WSU ap-proached BC president David Rule with the idea of a partnership and after the board of trustees approved its explora-tion in December, a working group was formed.

Russell Beard, Bellevue College's VP of information technology services and its working group spokesperson, told facul-ty, students and community members the two groups are trying to determine what BC would look like as a hybrid university offering both four-year bachelor's degrees and associates degrees.

"The overarching theme is that if we can't come up with something unique, then the conversation isn't worth having," Beard said. "It's not really hard trying to figure out why they want to be in Bel-levue. So we hold all the cards … The goal right now is trying to figure out if we should continue having this conversation. Bellevue College is going to do something extraordinary with or without WSU."

Miller said a partnership with WSU currently offers a lot of positives, espe-cially financially, but ironing out the details will take time and compromise.

"We probably can't get everything we want, so the question is what are the absolutes? What are our highest priori-ties?" he said.

If an agreement and deal can get struck, the earliest anything could hap-pen is five years, Beard said, adding it would take roughly two years for it to get approved by the Legislature and the governor and another three to align the school's curriculum transitioning from BC's quarter system to WSU's semester system.

Both working groups are slated to meet again next week to identify the outline for a memorandum of understanding.

Although it's another step toward a partnership, Miller said there's still miles to go and there's still a chance nothing comes of it. As the largest transfer facil-ity to the University of Washington, a partnership with WSU could put that ac-cessibility for students in jeopardy, which could be a deal breaker.

Miller began the meeting stating any partnership would only be agreed to if it benefited the students, both current and future, and the surrounding com-munity. Fellow board member Lisa Chin expanded on Miller's sentiment saying the underlying motive for any changes has to be enrichment of the students and community.

She and the other board members agreed that, "there's enough potential" in a partnership to continue the discussion. If a deal can be worked out however, Bellevue College will not keep doing the same song and dance.

"I don't think there's any going back for us," Miller said. "We either go forward with WSU or go it alone. The status quo is no longer acceptable."

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue City Coun-cil on Monday approved removing a northbound lane on 116th Avenue Northeast to add bike lanes north and south between Northeast 12th Street and Northup Way following an overlay proj-ect later this year.

City staff approached the council about revis-ing this section of 116th in September, stressing again Monday the "unique opportunity" to restripe a portion of the road for bike lanes when an overlay project occurs there, likely in late summer or early fall.

Reviews of traffic vol-umes were studied ahead of the proposal, and about 11,000 vehicles travel that stretch of 116th daily, split nearly evenly north and south, said Bellevue Transportation Commis-sioner Vic Bishop, adding no congestion problems are anticipated by remov-ing one of two northbound lanes. The two lanes would

merge into one about 600 feet north of the Northeast 12th Street traffic signal.

"We have very sketchy information about how many bicycles are on our streets," Bishop said, add-ing the city estimates about 160 bicyclists ride in Bel-levue daily. The transporta-tion commission will look more closely at pedestrian and bike improvements through an initiative ap-proved in December. "This is a good project and we think it works."

The transportation com-mission did add stipula-tions to its recommenda-tion for council's approval,

which require city staff to maintain a monitoring plan to measure vehicle and bike volumes along that portion of 116th before and after bicycle lanes are added, as well as adding up accident reports and taking public com-ments.

Mark Poch, manager for the overlay project, said the "unique" corridor is a long stretch without signalized intersections — where congestion occurs most — that should keep traffic flowing normally, even with a northbound lane removed. The 2013-24 transportation facilities

plan also forecasts volumes there to remain steady into 2024.

"At this point I've heard the word unique used about a half a dozen times, so far, and I agree," said Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace, who objected in September to adding bike lanes on 116th. He added he now believes it makes sense, but worried staff could come back with more proposals like this. "To me this is concerning from the precedent-setting stand-point that it does have."

Wallace said he wants to see standards for removing vehicle lanes for bike lanes

put in writing, adding motor vehicles continue to make up the majority of 116th traffic.

"Obviously the road portion is important, and more important than the bike lane," he said.

A cycling group repre-sentative later thanked the city council for approving

the change to 116th, which will improve connectivity on the State Route 520 bike trail — as will more lanes during a Northup Way overlay project — she said, but will still not actually connect at Northeast 12th.
