Employees.
A
G
A
H
Yeah
I
would
just
like
to
say
that,
as
a
resident
at
home
during
the
first
part
of
the
pandemic,
I
was
just
incredibly
proud
of
how
my
city
was
responding
and
you
were
the
people
who
was
who
were
implementing
that
response,
and
it
just
meant
a
tremendous
amount
to
all
of
the
Cities
all
of
the
citizens
of
Mountain
View,
to
know
that
you
were
stepping
up
and
to
see
you
step
up
and
to
see
all
the
creativity
and
care
that
was
taken.
So
thank
you
very
much.
H
Oh
another
thing,
I
I
hope
is
happening
somewhere.
Is
you
know
this?
Is
this
has
really
been
a
historical
period?
And
I
do
hope
that
there
are
some
write-ups
of
what
you've
done
and
so
that
we
have
a
history
of
this.
I
was
talking
to
some
people
the
other
day
and
thinking
you
know.
Could
we
talk
a
a
history,
PhD
candidate
or
somebody
into
writing
a
thesis
about?
You
know
how
the
city
responded,
but
but
keeping
a
record
of
what
you
did.
I
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
city,
employees
for
all
that
you
do
to
make
Mountain
View
a
great
City.
It's
not
just
what
you
did
during
covid,
but
it's
what
you
do
every
single
day.
You
should
feel
really
good
about
your
contributions,
because
this
is
a
great
City
and
I.
Thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
for
everything
you
do
to
make
it
that
way.
J
Thank
you
bear
well.
I
am
just
so
excited
to
be
in
our
Chambers
again
and
to
see
all
of
our
incredible
unsung
heroes,
which
are
all
of
you.
Our
employees
of
Mountain
View.
We've
talked
about
what
Mountain
View
makes
what
makes
Mountain
View
so
special
and
I
think
it
is
the
the
culture
of
service
that
you
all
embody
and
so
I'm
so
happy
that
I
saw
the
email
that
our
city
manager
put
forward
earlier
today.
J
K
K
L
L
I
I
can
not
express
how
proud
I
am
of
all
of
you
and
wherever
I
go,
you'll
hear
it
from
my
our
colleagues
in
other
cities.
They're,
probably
sick
of
me
saying
this,
but
I
really
believe
we
have
the
best
organization
around
and
the
way,
and
it
is
the
day-to-day
service
that
we
provide,
that
all
of
you
provide
to
the
city,
but
especially
during
covid
you,
you
shined,
so
brightly,
and
we
were
able
to
do
so
much
so
quickly
and
really
respond
to
the
needs
of
our
community
and
Beyond
I.
L
Think
we
were
able
to
do
things
new
things
and
differently
that
became
models
for
other
cities
and
the
county
and
being
able
to
like
put
up
our
testing
site
and
mobile
vaccinations,
and
everything
else
and
I
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
reflect
on
all
that
and
to
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
To
really
thank
you
all
for
all
that
you
did
during
the
last
three
years.
Thank
you
so
much.
E
M
Member
Ramos
I
got
to
join
you
all
and
the
tail
end
of
all
this,
so
yay,
but
I
want
to
to
to
thank
everyone,
those
who
who
served
in
our
city
to
help
us
get
to
where
we
are
in
times
of
great
stress
and
strife.
That's
when
you
that's,
when
you
find
out
who
you
are
and
I
hope
you
all.
You
can
look
in
the
mirror
and
see
extraordinary
extraordinary.
M
Courage
and
Innovation
and
optimism
you
could
look
in
the
mirror
and
just
know:
Mountain
View
leads
with
courage.
Mountain
View
leads
with
Innovation
Mountain
View
leads
together,
and
that
is
what
you
shared
with
each
other
and
inspired
everyone
else
to
do
the
same.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
service
to
the
city,
especially
in
a
very
difficult
time
period,
and
you
all
inspire
me
so
much.
Thank
you.
E
F
Thank
you,
mayor,
council,
member,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
that
are
here
those
of
you
that
are
in
the
audience
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
It's
been
a
pleasure
serving
alongside
you
these
last
three
years,
as
many
council
members
have
stated,
2020
seems
like
just
a
whirlwind
passing
passing
time,
but
as
we
were
in
the
thick
of
it,
it
really
felt
like
we
were
all
family
and
we
were
all
in
it
together.
F
We
were
all
trying
to
figure
it
out
along
with
the
rest
of
the
world,
but
we
were
the
helpers.
We
were
there
as
I
told
people
no,
no
one's
coming.
It's
us
we're
here,
helping
our
community.
So
thank
you
all
those
of
you
that
are
watching
on
YouTube
or
online,
those
of
you
that
are
here
in
the
chambers.
F
Thank
you
for
your
service
I'm,
so
proud
of
everything
that
you
all
have
accomplished,
proud
of
our
department
head
team,
proud
of
all
of
the
things
that
we
did
that
were
first,
that
many
other
cities
followed
behind
us.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
recognize
all
of
the
work
and
effort
that
all
of
you
have
made
so
you've
made
all
of
us
proud.
Thank
you,
foreign.
A
And
I'll,
just
close
by
making
my
own
comments,
that
was
a
mouthful
to
read.
It
was
one
of
the
longest
proclamations
that
I've,
read
and
I
didn't
know
if
I'd
get
through
it,
but
you
know
that's
because
it
was
a
lot
of
work
that
that
you
all
did
and
the
work
was
of
course
longer
than
the
proclamation
and
in
particular,
I
want
to
say
how
important
this
is
to
me,
because
I've
I've
been
I've
worked
for
cities,
most
of
my
professional
life
as
a
city,
planner
and
I.
A
A
A
K
You
mayor
I,
don't
want
to
pull
an
item,
but
I
do
want
to
share
information
that
I
received
from
the
police
chief
that
maybe
of
general
interest.
A
member
of
the
public
reached
out
asking
when
the
administrative
guidelines
for
the
72-hour
parking
ordinance
would
be
made
available
in
the
police
chief
shared
two
weeks,
which
is
much
much
quicker
than
I
was
anticipating.
So,
in
the
event,
that's
helpful
for
the
the
public
and
the
council
to
know.
That's
that's
when
the
the
police
chief
is
expecting
to
to
make
available
the
administrative
guidelines.
Thank
you.
A
N
Can
you
hear
me?
Oh
hi,
my
name
is
Marguerite
Layman
I
live
on
Ortega,
Avenue
and
I've
joined
you
all
for
public
comment
before
discussing
Vehicles
living
in
their
sorry
residents
living
in
their
vehicles
and
I'm.
Here
today
to
speak,
to
ask
that
you
really
fully
consider
4.1
I,
don't
feel
I
feel
pretty
disappointed
actually
by
the
discussion
that
happened
two
weeks
ago.
N
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
the
conversation
in
public
comment
and
afterwards
was
about
the
technicalities
of
the
72-hour
parking
enforcement,
which
I
understand.
That's
your
job,
but
how
I
see
it
is.
This
is
really
an
issue
for
people
living
in
their
vehicles.
We
saw
last
or
two
weeks
ago
that
that
the
majority
of
citations
are
for
people
living
in
RVs
and
I.
Think
that
you
know
considering
the
displacement
of
these
people
from
croissanto
Avenue
and
then
moving
dispersing
them
across
the
city
and
I.
N
People
who
are
now
my
neighbors,
who
I
care
about
and
I
think
that
passing
this
without
consideration
for
how
it
will
affect
people
living
in
their
vehicles
disproportionately
is
really
kind
of
hanging
out.
The
hanging
them
out
to
dry,
and
so
I
would
really
urge
the
city
council
not
to
approve
this
amendment
or
to
consider
a
carve
out
for
people
living
in
their
vehicles,
because
I
really
think
that
it's
just
not
fair.
N
It
just
doesn't
strike
me
as
fair
and
I
hope
that
you
all
will
stand
strong
in
our
shared
values
of
Mountain
View
for
all,
so
that
we
can
really
address
the
issue
of
people
living
in
their
vehicles.
Instead
of
you
know,
passing
in
ways
of
enforcing
parking
that
doesn't
really
sufficiently
address
their
needs.
P
P
O
Hi,
my
name
is
Oscar
Mejia
and
I
live
in
an
RV
and
it's
very
uncomfortable
to
be
moving
around
the
city.
I
have
a
seven-year-old
daughter
who
I
gets
picked
up
by
the
bus
to
go
to
school,
and
it's
never
in
the
same
area
which
has
caused
a
problem.
For
me,
her
schoolwork
has
been
interrupted
because
of
this,
and
also
my
work's
been
interrupted
because
I
can't
constantly
be
moving
within
72
hours.
I.
O
Q
Thank
you
mayor.
Can
you
all
hear
me?
Okay,
we
can
hear
you
yes
super.
Thank
you
I'd
like
to
thank
councilmember
Ramirez,
for
advising
that
the
administrative
information
from
the
police
would
be
would
be
ready
in
two
weeks
on
the
72-hour
rule.
I
wanted
to
comment
today.
I
know
you
all
know:
I
wear
a
bunch
of
hats.
Q
So
today,
I'm
going
to
be
commenting
as
a
staff
of
the
Los
Altos
Mountain
View
Community
Foundation
we've
been
hearing
from
the
community
that,
after
the
amendment
I
guess
the
amendments
to
the
amendment
or
the
ordinance
two
weeks
ago.
Confusion
about
exactly
what
the
changes
were
so
does
the
police
department
is.
What
are
they
exactly?
Are
they
going
to
do?
Did
anything
change
from
what
they're
doing
now?
Are
you
still
going
to
notify
owners
before
the
before
my
house
gets
towed?
How
much
judgment
is
going
to
be
involved
in
people
deciding?
Q
My
request
is
for
the
police
department
to
put
a
moratorium
on
enforcement
of
the
72-hour
rule
until
the
actual
guidelines
are
publicized,
both
in
English
and
Spanish,
in
such
a
way
that
you
can't
miss
it
if
you're
a
citizen
of
Mountain
View.
So
that
would
be
my
first
request
to
the
to
the
council
and
the
police
department
is
to
consider
that
for
the
safety
of
all
of
our
neighbors
and
just
just
having
civil
peace
around
this,
let
everyone
get
educated
before
this
goes
forward.
Q
My
second
comment
is
also
hearing
a
lot
from
our
neighbors
in
vehicles
who
live
in
around
Terra,
Bella,
Leghorn,
Pioneer
and
Gemini.
We
have
many
families
there
with
newborns,
also
family
with
young
children.
You
just
heard
someone
just
talk
about
how
the
rule
interrupts
their
their
children
School
in
this
case,
I
want
to
talk
about
porta-potties,
not
having
toilets
that
are
accessible
24
hours
where
people
are
living
is
really
really
difficult.
On
our
neighbors,
like
I,
said,
we've
got
people
with
newborns
people
with
children.
Q
They
can't
pick
up
and
move
and
drive
their
vehicle
from
Terra
Bella
to
CSA
or
hopes
corner
where
the
two
sets
of
public
toilets
are
currently
available.
They
can't
do
that
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
One
recent
vehicle
dweller
was
admitted
to
the
hospital
at
El
Camino
because
with
a
kidney
infection,
because
basically,
she
had
been
holding
her
urination
at
night
because
she
doesn't
have
a
toilet.
I
would
like
to
the
city
to
consider
actually
putting
public
toilets
where
people
are
and
giving
people
their
dignity
back.
Thank
you.

that
were
just
made
from
previous
speakers
and
just
I
really
want
to
get
to
I'd
like
to
see
Council
really
think
about
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
with
the
72-hour
ordinance
and
what
we're
actually
looking
for
it's
the
ordinance
two
weeks
ago
was
sort
of
introduced
as
a
minor
clarification
of
language.
S
A
K
I'm
I,
think
everybody
knows
my
politics
at
this
point,
I'm
very
sympathetic
with
what
we've
heard
from
members
of
the
public,
but
I
do
think.
It
is
important
to
reiterate
that
this
is
in
fact
a
minor
clarification
of
the
ordinance
that
was
already
in
the
books.
I
had
asked
both
both
the
City
attorney
and
the
police
chief
would
adopting
the
Amendments
materially
alter
the
enforcement
of
the
ordinance,
and
the
answer
was
no.
The
ordinance
would
continue
to
be
enforced.
The
way
it
has
been
enforced.
There
is
I
think
a
valid
question
about.
K
K
Those
are
administrative
guidelines
and
members
of
the
public
will
be
able
to
review
them
and
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
to
to
explore
once
we've
seen
those
guidelines,
whether
there
are
further
modifications
that
that
ought
to
be
considered
and
members
of
the
public
and
psab
and
the
council
I
think
will
be
probably
I'll
I'll.
Let
the
city
manager
respond
to
this,
but
we'll
always
have
the
opportunity
to
share
ideas
and
recommendations
with
mvpd.
So
with
that
I
will
move
the
recommendations.
Thank
you.
J
J
We
also
discussed
Outreach
in
terms
of
not
just
Spanish,
but
we
have
a
multilingual
Affairs
office
that
does
multiple
languages
and
making
sure
there's
language,
accessibility
and
also
providing
the
next
steps
in
terms
of
the
noticing
and
what
are
the
things
that
can
be
done.
What's
the
phone
number?
What's
the
email
and
more
points
of
contact,
so
I
thought
that
we
had
had
also
a
substantive
conversation
about
the
communications
and
Outreach
which,
in
the
two-week
time
period,
thank
you,
councilman
Ramirez,
for
sharing
with
all
of
us.
J
A
A
A
A
second
thing
is
that
they
also
told
me
there
is
now
room
in
there
was
at
the
time.
I
spoke
to
them.
There
were
spaces
in
our
safe
parking
lots,
so
people
who
are
having
trouble
at
this
point
moving
around
I
I
would
encourage
you
to
contact
to
contact
the
safe
parking
lot
providers
and
get
yourself
a
space,
because
there
is
some
turnover.
A
And
thirdly,
I
want
to
say
that
some
of
the
concerns
I
think
that
have
been
brought
up
tonight
and
in
the
discussion
that
we
had
in
our
last
council
meeting
I
think
we'll
be
covered
in
other
items
that
we'll
be
looking
at
on
the
work
plan
tonight,
such
as
our
homeless
response
strategy
and
possibly
other
items.
So
with
that
I
have
nothing
else
to
say.
Are
there
other
council
members?
Okay,
so
we're
ready
to
vote
them.
A
Next,
we
have
item
number
five
oral
Communications.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
reserved
for
persons
wishing
to
address
the
council
in
any
matter
not
on
the
agenda.
Speakers
are
allowed
to
speak
on
any
topic
for
up
to
three
minutes
during
this
section.
State
law
prohibits
the
council
from
acting
on
non-agenda
items.
If
you'd
like
to
speak
on
this
item
in
person
or
the
next
study
session
item,
please
submit
a
blue
speaker
card
to
the
city
clerk
now.
A
P
T
Hello,
fellow
community
members,
my
name
is
Jay
and
I'm.
A
native
Bay,
Area
resident
I
grew
up
here
and
watched.
My
parents
and
uncles
gain
success
through
their
work
into
Silicon
Valley,
High,
Tech
and
Health
Care
Industries
I,
followed
suit
by
attending
the
Valley's
best
schools
studying
engineering
at
a
top
university
and
working
for
several
years
at
respected
tech
companies.
However,
what
really
matters
to
me
is
to
feel
a
part
of
the
Vibrant
Community
we
have
here
promoting
the
positive
values
of
innovation.
T
Charity,
kindness
and
spirituality
is
part
of
the
Valley's
Progressive
Outlook
as
part
of
the
Valley's
Progressive
Outlook
is
what
I
look
live
for
before
covid
I
was
actively
involved
with
the
hacker
Dojo
Tech
Center.
It
was
here
in
Mountain
View.
It
was
a
Place
specifically
chartered
to
promote
a
sense
of
community
and
knowledge
sharing
between
Silicon
Valley
Tech
workers
and
especially
startup
founders,
I,
helped,
host
meetups
did
volunteer
work
and
made
new
friends.
T
Unfortunately,
the
director
is
ill-equipped
to
handle
such
issues
and
in
response
for
my
raising
the
issue,
punished
me
by
Banning,
my
member
account,
which
is
a
legal
violation
in
terms
of
retaliation
anyway.
I
need
help
from
dedicated
city
workers
who
can
help
mediate
and
resolve
this
issue
and
perhaps
alert
the
upper
management
of
the
hacker
Dojo.
That
handling
of
such
situations
needs
to
improve.
Please
let
me
know
if
you
can
take
on
this
project
to
improve
the
community
as
a
learning
experience
for
all
of
us.
Thank
you.
A
U
Okay,
I
just
got
the
unmute
thanks,
sorry
for
the
delay,
yes,
Bruce,
England
Station
Drive.
Thank
you
mayor.
Just
a
brief
comment
that,
as
you
know,
we've
had
an
interruption
of
the
public-facing
hybrid
meetings
after
covid,
which
I
was
hoping
would
not
happen.
My
understanding
is
that
the
plaza
room
is
well
was
planned
on
being
geared
up
for
the
public-facing
hybrid
meetings
in
February.
U
We're
now
into
March
and
I
am
interested
very
much
interested
in
knowing
if
that
has
been
completed,
and
if
meetings
can
start
to
happen
virtually
again
for
bodies
using
the
plaza
room
in
addition
to
council
chambers
and
the
atrium
room
as
a
community
organizer.
It's
very
important
for
me
to
see
the
continuity
so
that
people
are
able
to
continue
attending
meetings
uninterrupted.
So
we
have
an
interruption
now
but
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can
keep
it
as
short
as
possible.
Thank
you.
V
Hi,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Rocio
Molina
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
catalyze
SV,
we
are
a
local
non-profit
organization
that
focuses
on
community
engagement
in
the
area
of
development.
We
like
to
engage
the
community
and
public
stakeholders
in
a
collaborative
conversation
about
the
best
approaches
to
development
in
our
region.
Our
focus
is
particularly
in
the
areas
of
affordable
housing,
sustainable
development
and
transportation
and
Mobility
accessibility.
V
I
am
excited
to
see
the
number
of
programs
that
I
listed
in
today's
budget
item
in
regards
to
Transportation,
updates
and
affordable
housing
development
coming
to
the
city.
We
would
urge
staff
and
city
council
to
consider
Community
engagement
programs
as
a
critical
piece
of
these
items.
Engaging
the
community
can
increase
buy-in
in
potential
development
projects,
as
well
as
in
farm
city,
council
and
other
stakeholders,
about
critical
issues
that
may
be
of
high
value
to
the
community.
Prior
to
any
decisions
being
made.
V
A
W
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
Bruce
England's
comment
as
a
member
of
green
spaces,
I've
noticed
that
many
of
our
members,
when
they
are
able
to
attend
meetings
and
make
comments
virtually,
is
much
more
accessible.
It's
an
equity
issue
for
people
who
work,
alternate
work
schedules
or
who
have
children
or
maybe
even
have
mobility
issues,
or
you
know
Transportation.
W
A
And
seeing
no
more
speakers,
we
will
move
to
the
next
item,
which
is
item
6.1
our
study
session
for
fiscal
years,
20
23
through
24
and
24
through
25
Council
work
plan.
Development
purpose
of
this
study
session
is
to
review
and
confirm
the
city
council's
strategic
priorities
and
identify
potential
projects
to
advance
the
Strategic
priorities
for
further
staff
analysis
and
Council
consideration.
At
a
subsequent
study
session
for
inclusion
in
the
fiscal
year,
2023-24
and
2024-25
Council
work
plan
principal.
C
Thank
you
mayor
Hicks,
good
evening.
Council
I
am
here
to
discuss
the
fiscal
years
23-24
and
24
through
25
Council
work
plan
and
tonight
we'll
be
discussing
strategic
priorities
and
projects.
Tonight's
agenda
is
above
we
will
review
the
council
work,
plan,
purpose
and
process,
we'll
review
the
council's
Strategic
priorities
as
well
as
discuss
considerations
for
the
fiscal
year.
23-25
Council
work
plan
and
staff
recommendations,
we'll
review
the
next
steps
in
the
work
plan,
development
process
there'll
be
time
for
public
comment
and
we'll
have
a
council
discussion
on
the
staff
recommendations.
C
So
just
a
review
of
the
council
work
plan
purpose.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
identify
key
projects
for
Focus
during
the
two-year
work
plan
period
that
our
particular
interest
to
the
council
Advance
the
Strategic
priorities
in
a
significant
way,
and
often
these
projects
require
significant
City
resources,
particularly
staff
time
to
complete.
C
So
the
goal
here
is
to
balance
responsiveness
to
emerging
or
urgent
counsel
and
Community
issues
and
stability
for
efficient
use
of
City
resources
and
for
long-term
work
planning.
This
Council
work
plan
has
traditionally
included
non-discretionary
projects
and
projects
that
originate
from
the
council
work
plan
process
entirely,
and
some
projects
are
not
expected
to
be
finished
within
that
two-year
work,
plan,
time
frame,
but
will
be
substantively
advanced
and
either
carried
forward
or
moved
to
ongoing
operations.
C
So
we're
right
there
at
that
that
circled
three.
Once
the
council
adopts
the
work
plan
for
fiscal
years,
23
through
25
in
June,
we'll
move
to
a
check-in
process
that
occurs
every
six
months,
I
wanted
to
bring
up
the
Strategic
priorities
for
your
review,
which
we
will
discuss
again
later
in
this
study
session.
C
They
were
adopted
in
2021
and
intended
to
advance
the
council's
vision
for
the
future
of
Mountain
View
over
the
course
of
three
to
five
years,
rather
than
two
years
as
previous
Council
goals
had
been
in
this
study
session,
Council
will
have
the
opportunity
to
confirm
the
priorities
as
written
or
determine
that
they
are
missing
critical
elements
or
minor
changes
to
be
made.
The
staff
will
bring
back
warning
changes
for
consideration
in
the
next
phase
of
the
council
work
plan
development
process
as
appropriate,
based
on
the
feedback.
C
In
the
study
session
for
the
fiscal
year,
21-23
Council
work
plan,
12
projects
have
been
completed
as
of
December
31st
2022.
six
were
anticipated
to
be
complete
by
the
end
of
fiscal
year.
22-23
at
the
time
of
the
preparation
of
the
staff
report,
20
are
in
progress
and
three
were
not
yet
started.
Since
the
preparation
of
the
staff
memo,
the
Mountain
View
West
Mid
school
district
has
informed
staff
that
they
will
be
putting
the
joint
use.
C
Master
agreement
negotiations
on
hold
and
staff
is
considering
next
steps
for
communication
to
counsel
about,
following
through
with
that
project
for
the
fiscal
year
23-25
work
plan
staff
has
identified,
carry
forward
projects
that
are
listed
in
the
study
session
memo
and
on
the
following
slides
for
later
reference
during
the
council's
discussion.
I
will
advance
through
them,
but
not
read
all
of
the
projects
and
we
can
Circle
back
to
them
during
your
discussion.
C
C
special
projects
require
coordination
across
City
departments,
policy,
legal
and
fiscal
review
that
and
support
by
the
city,
manager's
office,
the
city
attorney's
office,
the
city
clerk's
office
and
the
finance
administrative
services
department.
They
often
involve
Outreach
to
an
engagement
with
the
Mountain
View
Community
collaboration
with
external
partners
and
specialized
knowledge
and
or
intensive
use
of
limited
staff
resources,
and
they
only
comprise
a
portion
of
the
work
that
staff
does.
C
However,
just
because
a
department
is
a
lead
on
a
project
doesn't
mean
that
there
are
not
other
departments
along
that
project.
I
did
want
to
note
here
that
the
city
attorney's
office
is
heavily
involved
in
a
large
number
of
special
projects
in
a
supporting
role,
and
that
is
beyond
basic
contract
review
or
legal
advice.
That's
often
a
much
more
intensive
role.
C
This
is
a
breakdown
of
all
of
the
special
projects,
not
just
the
council.
Work
plan
carry
forward
projects
by
strategic
priority
once
again.
The
housing
element
is
primarily
intentional
development
and
housing
options,
driving
that
larger
number
pardon
me
and
the
Capital
Improvements
program
does
Drive
the
mobility
and
connectivity
number,
but
this
is
just
to
show
that
all
of
council's
strategic
priorities
are
being
Advanced
by
planned
work.
C
C
This
again
is
a
review
of
the
proposed
process
for
us
to
refer
to
later
on.
In
the
discussion
each
council
member
will
have
the
opportunity
to
propose
new
projects,
staff
will
record
council
member
proposals
and
which
and
there'll
be
a
straw
poll.
Whichever
proposals
receive
for
more
votes
based
on
that
straw
poll
will
be
analyzed
shared
with
the
council
advisory
bodies
and
presented
during
the
April
25th
study
session.
That
will
follow
this
one
and
finally,
staff
is
looking
for
Council
Direction
on
gatekeeper
projects.
C
So
with
that
being
said
after
tonight's
study
session,
the
next
steps
will
be
for
staff
to
complete
an
analysis
of
the
projects
that
are
put
forward
tonight
and
bring
those
projects
to
the
council
advisory
bodies
for
feedback
and
input.
In
return
with
that
information,
as
well
as
a
recommendation
for
the
prioritization
of
the
council
work
plan
projects
for
fiscal
year,
23-25
on
April
25th,
based
on
feedback
from
Council.
D
C
This
slide
is
a
reminder
of
the
support
that
staff
will
provide
to
the
council
process
for
the
April
25th
meeting,
including
analysis
advisory
body
input
and
the
prioritization
recommendation,
which
will
include
three
different
categories
of
project.
A
being
the
highest
priority
to
be
considered.
First
in
staff
allocation
and
planning
B
would
be
a
high
priority
projects
that
would
be
considered
after
category
a
and
staff
allocation
and
work
planning,
and
then
category
C
would
be
priority
projects
that
we
work
on
as
time
and
resources
allow.
A
You
very
much
now
would
any
member
of
the
public
joining
us
virtually
or
in
person
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item.
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand
button
in
Zoom
or
submit
a
speaker
card
to
the
city
clerk
we'll
take
in-person
speakers
first
and
each
speaker
will
have
a
minute
and
a
half
first
Julia
LA
Care.
X
Yes,
we
can
hear
you
great.
My
name
is
Julia
lacare
I
am
a
resident
of
Mountain
View
I
live
in
a
large
apartment,
building
on
the
San
Antonio
El
Camino
Corridor
I
also
work
in
the
city
of
Mountain
View
I
am
here
tonight
with
some
other
tenants
in
my
building
and
some
are
also
joining
us
online
as
well,
because
they
could
not
be
here
in
person.
X
One
of
the
things
that
we
would
like
to
bring
to
your
attention
is
some
of
our
safety
concerns
at
our
building.
We've
had
rampant
crime
security
issues
break-ins
to
our
lockers,
to
our
cars,
consistent,
consistent
issues
on
a
regular
basis,
and
it's
only
gotten
worse.
We've
met
with
Mountain
View
PD
we've
met
with
our
management.
Unfortunately,
we
haven't
had
much
increased
safety,
I
should
say
and
for
me
personally,
I
moved
out
of
San
Francisco
during
the
pandemic
to
feel
safer
and
I
moved
to
the
city
of
Mountain
View.
X
Let's
see
to
my
point,
we
have
we've.
We've
talked
to
our
management.
I
personally
have
asked
for
a
rent
reduction
understanding
that
our
building
is
not
included
in
your
current
rent
stabilization
act
because
it's
built
after
1995.,
so
I
was
told
no
I'd
like
not
to
be
pushed
out
of
the
city
of
Mountain
View
I
like
living
here.
Thank.
R
R
Do
we
have
a
conversation
with
our
management
and
have
them
do
something
for
us,
there's
always
the
spinning,
a
pointing
that
you
know
we'll
do
this
we'll
do
that,
but
it's
not
actually
any
action
being
taken
and
we,
as
you
all
know,
in
Mountain
View
we
pay
more
rent
than
the
city
of
San.
Francisco.
We've
just
become
the
number
one
city
in
terms
of
rent
and
we
don't
seem
to
be
getting
the
services
and
no
sense
of
accountability.
R
Y
Y
It
was
supposed
to
be
something
good
for
the
community,
unfortunately,
is
the
opposite
and
only
increase
the
events
for
everybody
in
Mountain
View,
as
my
colleagues
explained,
but
it
also
gives
a
false
sense
of
I
would
say
of
Ethics
among
my
family
just
just
across
the
street,
because
I
thought
it
was
safe
and
even
a
month
I
was
there.
My
car
got
broken
into
and
when
we
found
out
the
next
day
it
wasn't
just
mine.
It
was
like
six,
six
or
seven
other
cars
that
were
broken
into.
We
went
to
the
management,
not
accountability.
Y
Nobody
regulates
these
people
and
I
understand
that
the
pandemic
has
been
hard,
but
somebody
has
to
how
this
company
is
looking
for
profit
and
that
push
us
out
all
the
other
streets
of
the
city,
because
I've
been
here
for
20
years
and
only
I
haven't
only
seen.
My
ring
go
from
a
thousand
dollars
down
to
six
thousand
dollars.
It's
also
the
safety
you're
working
in
a
basement
where
you
think
you're
secure.
Y
You
actually
is
afraid
that
you're
gonna
get
attacked
by
a
thief
or
I
have
a
wife
and
a
dollar
I
I,
don't
know
if
they're
gonna
get
raped
on
days,
you
go
to
management,
no
sense
of
accountability,
no
responsibility,
so
my
my
request
to
you
guys
is
when
you
guys
get
these
proposals,
try
to
understand
what
is
it
that
they're
trying
to
help
the
community
versus
just
making
a
profit?
Thank.
Z
Good
evening,
Council
I'm
going
to
largely
Echo
the
comments
I
made
in
writing
via
email
earlier
well
actually
yesterday
and
urge
you
to
strongly
prioritize
Street
safety.
When
looking
at
your
work
plan
for
the
next
two
years,
the
the
fatality
on
El
Camino
only
within
the
last
month
only
helped
reaffirm
the
need
for
urgent
action
on
Street
safety
in
the
city.
Z
Let's
make
sure
that
the
work
plan
includes
time
for
like,
say
it's
the
City
attorney
to
be
able
to
review
new
policies
to
implement
that
come
out
of
that
active
Transportation
plan.
Let's
make
sure
that
we're
actually
able
to
use
time
as
effectively
as
possible
to
implement
new
projects.
Let's
make
sure
that
if
we
are
discussing
like
new
Revenue
measures
in
2024
that
we're
including
Street
safety
projects
on
those
measures
and
lastly,
I
know,
there's
there
have
been
there.
Z
A
lot
of
people
have
I've
seen
written
comments
being
very
passionate
about
specific
projects
that
are
on
this
list.
I
am
always
wary
of
having
two
stronger
prioritization
come
out
of
these
meetings,
because
councilman
has
so
much
perspective,
so
just
be
careful
about
over
excessive
prioritization.
Thank.
AA
Thank
you,
I'm
Cliff,
Chambers,
resident
of
Mountain
View
and
in
reviewing
attachment
one
of
the
21
to
23
work
plan.
It
was
really
obvious.
The
city
has
made
a
lot
of
really
good
progress
on
a
number
of
fronts.
However,
there
have
been
consistently
staff
constraints
where
you
haven't
been
able
to
have
sufficient
project
delivery,
and
this
is
a
ongoing
concern
and
I
really
would
like
some
discussion
at
some
point
in
terms
of
matching
the
Staffing
Resources
to
your
overall
goal.
So
why
is
this
important?
AA
It
was
then
in
the
CIP
for
years
and
and
it's
been
expanded
it,
but
every
year
that
I've
inquired
there's
always
a
staffing
constraint
that
really
doesn't
allow
to
go
forward
and
and
now
in
the
latest
iteration
it's
an
attachment
three,
but
not
an
attachment
two,
and
it
doesn't
have
the
priority
that
these
kind
of
policies
for
complete
streets
really
need
to
be
implemented.
So
I'd
like
to
hopefully
be
addressed
in
a
very
comprehensive
way,
so
we
can
move
these
projects
forward.
Thank
you.
E
G
Good
evening
Madam
mayor
members
of
the
council,
I've
recently
been
watching
Ken
Burns's
TV
series
about
the
Holocaust
and
one
line
really
caught
my
attention,
which
was
the
best
time
to
stop
a
holocaust,
is
before
it
starts.
We
Face
a
holocaust
through
climate
change,
we
observe
things
like
five
feet
of
snow
in
Southern
California.
G
We
must
have
more
resources
higher
priority,
more
staff
to
make
the
kind
of
progress
that's
necessary
to
win,
rather
than
just
to
lose
slowly.
Putting
back
a
couple
of
comments
from
earlier
tonight,
Pat
you
talked
about
the
history
of
this
historic
time.
There's
another
historic
Time
ahead
of
us
Lucas,
you
talked
about
life
safety.
Life
safety
issues
lie
ahead
of
us,
Margaret
figuring
out
what
we
need
to
do
today
every
day.
Yes,
we
do
that
and
Emily
in
particular.
You
talked
about
courage
and
Innovation.
We
need
lots
of
innovation.
AB
Yes,
thank
you
Mary
Hicks
and
members
of
the
council.
My
name
is
Beth
Fisher
I'm,
with
the
Santa
Clara
and
San
Benito
County,
building
and
construction
trades
Council.
We
represent
28
craft
unions
and
over
35
000
unionized
construction
workers
and
I'm
speaking
here
today
to
address
the
development
of
a
community
Workforce
agreement.
AB
The
community
Workforce
agreement
was
first
identified
as
a
city
council
priority
in
2018
and
even
though
the
pandemic
has
delayed
it.
We
really
appreciate
that
it's
remained
a
top
priority
for
the
city
of
Mountain
View
and
we're
eager
to
expedite
its
completion
in
the
normal
course
of
considering
a
community
Workforce
agreement.
AB
Usually
the
board
or
Council
of
a
public
entity
will
direct
staff
to
negotiate
a
community
Workforce
agreement
and
return
with
a
draft
for
consideration,
and
so
that's
something
we
asked
for
on
behalf
of
the
city
council
and
with
a
number
of
local
organizations
having
adopted
Community
Workforce
agreements
such
as
the
county
of
Santa
Clara,
the
city
of
San,
Jose,
Valley,
Water
and
so
forth.
We
really
urge
the
the
council
to
consider
negotiating
and
adopting
a
community
Workforce
agreement
and
utilizing
a
knowledgeable
resourceful,
experienced
Workforce.
Thank
you
very
much.
AC
These
projects
attack
attractable,
skilled
and
qualified
craft
persons.
The
best
workers
have
choices
and
they
choose
to
work
well.
They
will
not
be
exploited.
These
project
projects
get
completed
on
time
by
having
the
most
professional
contractors
who
know
how
to
properly
plan
and
execute
a
project.
AC
This
happens
when
there's
Fair
competition,
where
High
Road
contractors
are
not
pushed
out
by
Bad
actors
who
get
a
get
a
foot
in
the
door
with
a
little
bit
low
bid
but
end
up
costing
more
in
the
long
run,
those
cost
overruns
through
cost
overruns
and
change
orders.
Please
direct
the
staff
to
negotiate
a
community
Workforce
agreement
and
return
for
a
vote
by
August.
Thank
you.
AD
Hi,
thank
you
quickly.
I
wanted
today,
I'm
really
excited
to
see
that
we're
talking
about
prioritizing
prioritizing
projects
and
whatnot
three
points.
I
want
to
talk
about
tonight,
and
a
few
of
the
speakers
have
already
talked
about
that.
First
I
think
we
need
to
make
our
streets
safer
and
fully
commit
to
Vision
zeros
James
mentioned
this.
We
need
to
slow
drivers
down
and
prioritize
protected
lanes
and
traffic
coming
measures.
AD
AD
Second,
we
need
to
make
our
streets
more
Greener
and
livable,
as
Bruce
Carney
pointed
out,
the
climate's
changing,
and
we
can
do
this
partially
in
how
we
design
our
streets
as
well.
If
we
Implement
green
infrastructure
and
then
the
second
part
of
this
is
making
livable
by
making
the
facilities
more
attractive
and
comfortable,
adding
trees,
which
provides
shade,
addresses,
Urban
heat
effect,
art
Etc.
It
goes
a
long
way
to
achieving
that
and
third,
we
need
to
make
this
all
happen
sooner.
We
need
to
learn
how
to
go
from
planning
to
implementation.
AD
Clip
pointed
this
out,
California
started
making
funds
available
to
cover
projects.
Mountain
View
has
been
awarded
some
of
these
funds.
What
we
need
now
is
the
staff
to
execute
and
I
want
to
appeal
to
council
to
allocate
funds
from
the
budget
to
hire
the
staff
that
was
required
to
implement
this
isn't
something
specific
to
Mountain
View,
but
it's
facing
all
cities.
AE
Hello
good
evening,
mayor
and
Council
I'm
here
today
to
ask
that
you
support
a
community
Workforce
agreement.
My
ask
is
not
only
for
our
members
but
for
the
thousands
of
members
throughout
the
Bay
Area
that
have
invested
the
time
and
money
into
becoming
skilled
and
trained
the
future
of
skilled
and
trained
craft
workers
must
be
able
to
rely
upon
Community
Workforce
agreements
to
attract
more
skilled,
Crafts
People
quickly.
I
would
like
to
share
two
things
about
how
my
life
is
different
today,
because
I
am
a
member
of
UA
Local,
393.
AE
I'm
paid
family,
sustaining
wages
and
receive
an
honest
day's
pay
for
an
honest
day's
work
and
I'm
able
to
raise
a
family
here
in
the
Bay
Area
I'm,
also
granted
access
to
safe
working
conditions
and
training
to
be
sure,
I
go
home
safe
to
my
family,
so
please
direct
staff
to
negotiate
a
CWA
and
return
a
vote
by
August.
Thank
you
very
much.
AF
Good
evening,
mayor,
Hicks
and
city
council,
thank
you
for
your
time
tonight.
I
am
Erica
Valentine
with
UA
Local
393.
We
represent
the
Plumber's
pipefitters
team,
Fitters
and
hvacr
technicians.
We
represent
3
100
members
in
Santa,
Clara
and
San
Benito
County.
We
ask
every
single
one
of
you
to
please
support
and
prioritize
at
cwta.
You
guys
have
prioritized
this
in
2018.
We
ask
that
you
continue
to
do
so.
AF
We
ask
that
ubr
Partners
in
this
Community
Partners
with
the
development,
the
building
the
planning,
as
well
as
all
of
our
local
constituents
that
live
and
work
here
that
want
to
stay
living
and
working.
Here
we
ask
that
you
address
that.
We
have
over
a
thousand
applicants
per
year
that
want.
We
want
to
attract
the
workers
that
are
going
to
be
craft,
skilled,
trained
and
innovate
together
as
we
lead
through
this
building
phase.
We
ask
that
you
consider
your
legacy
to
reduce
the
errors
and
omissions
and
produce
quality
craftsmanship
in
the
Bay
Area.
AF
S
S
The
same
way
that
we
have
you
keep
the
lights
on
and
I'd
also
like
to
see
a
lowering
of
the
voting
age
in
Municipal
elections
to
16.,
coupled
ideally
with
some
sort
of
civics
education
in
high
school,
and
that
could
be
a
way
to
have
the
city
form
better
relationships
with
the
school
districts.
I
know
that
we've
sort
of
had
our
the
clashes
recently
with
montaloma,
Park
and
sort
of
the
general,
the
general
Parks
agreement,
so
creating
projects
that
we
can
work
together,
I
think
would
be
great.
AG
AH
Hi
I'm
Jim
zayorski
I'm,
a
member
of
green
spaces,
Mountain
View
and
a
resident
of
monteloma
I'd
like
to
speak
about
a
working
and
livability
issue
plan
that
may
not
have
the
importance
of
what
some
people
have
talked
about,
but
I
believe
it's
important
about.
A
year
ago,
I
had
the
Good
Fortune
to
camp
in
a
remote
portion
of
Big,
Bend,
National
Park
with
the
bright
night
sky
and
millions
of
stars
and
had
an
effect
on
me.
AH
This
was
especially
important
for
me,
as
I
was
growing
up
in
New
Jersey,
where
I
didn't
know,
there
was
a
big
dipper
until
I
was
eight
and
I
visited
my
cousin's
Farm
in
Pennsylvania
about
two
years
ago.
The
city
took
on
the
issue
of
Monarch
butterflies,
and,
although
they
didn't
change
it
by
themselves,
they
did
change
it.
They
embraced
it
and
they
made
a
difference
in
dealing
with
lights
night
skies.
AH
We
find
that
health
of
not
only
our
kids
and
ourselves,
is
dependent
upon
Darkness,
but
also
the
ability
to
have
animals,
and
things
like
that
around
us,
I
would
ask
the
city,
even
though
night
skies
is
not
a
big
thing
that
they
can
solve
themselves
to
address
the
issue
of
night
skies
and
to
put
this
in
the
plan.
In
that
it's
not.
AH
A
AI
Hire
you,
okay,
Council.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Randy
was
presented
today
in
one
of
the
things.
That's
not
in
there
and
it's
kind
of
a
universal
thing
is
you
have
to
have
the
ability
to
measure
the
success
of
what
we're
doing
and
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
metrics
in
these
things,
I
mean
for
to
adoptive
concerns
that
Bruce
client
has
or
others
in
terms
of
sustainability
or
any
other
project.
We
have
to
be
able
to
measure
before
and
after
to
determine.
AI
A
A
U
Thank
you
mayor
and
city
council
Bruce
England,
Station,
Drive
I
have
a
few
things.
I
wanted
to
bring
up
and
I.
You
know
about
all
of
these,
so
this
is
not
really
new
territory,
but
something
first
off
I
support,
essentially
everything
that
everybody
has
brought
up
so
far.
So
there's
that
and
I
won't
repeat
those
things,
but
something
that
we
really
need.
We
sorely
need
in
Mountain
View
are
more
public-facing
restrooms
and
water
fountains
or
Hydration
Stations.
We
have
very
few
of
them.
It's
really
pretty
embarrassing
that
we
don't
have
that
support.
U
Not
only
is
it
something
that
will
support
active
activity
in
Mountain
View
which
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
through
the
active
Transportation
plan,
but
it's
also
a
public
safety
and
an
equity
issue.
Kavita
IR
brought
up
earlier
the
need
for
adequate
public
toilets
for
people
living
in
vehicles,
but
it's
true
for
everybody.
If
you
walk
around
Mountain
View
you'll
find
that
there
are
very
few
essential
locations
available
to
you
and
then
also
support
for
the
dark
sky
strategy.
U
I
think
you're
going
to
be
talking
about
that
and,
lastly,
the
various
plans
that
are
happening.
The
active
Transportation
plan,
biodiversity
strategy
and
urban
Forest
plan
have
a
lot
of
potentially
actionable
items
that
will
come
out
of
those
and
those
themselves
need
to
go
into
your
work
plan
in
into
future
work
and
also.
Lastly,
a
lot
of
what
can
happen
can
happen
through
direction
to
step,
doesn't
have
to
be
part
of
your
work
plan.
U
W
Hi,
excuse
me
hi
so
again,
similarly
to
others,
I've
agreed
with.
Basically
almost
everything
that's
been
said
before,
so
my
new
points
are
one
of
the
things
we
notice
in
greenspace's,
Mountain,
View
and
wanting
to
volunteer
and
contribute
to
the
city
is
the
biggest
hurdle
we
had
was
for
finding
a
sponsor
for
liability
coverage.
Considering
that
a
lot
of
this
work
being
done
by
volunteers
is
for
the
city
on
city
property,
it
would
make
sense
for
the
city
to
have
a
way
to
cover
volunteers
through
the
city
liability
coverage.
W
This
would
encourage
a
lot
more
volunteers
within
the
city,
which
would
probably
we
reap
tenfold
benefit
over
the
cost
so
and
I
know
that
that's
something
that's
interdepartmental
and
then
again
in
terms
of
the
active
Transportation
plan
and
the
biodiversity
strategy
and
urban
Forest
plan,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
those
actionable
outcomes
become
part
of
a
work
plan
and
they
might
come
up
before
the
next
cycle.
So
how
do
we
make
sure
that
those
action
items
are
integrated
as
needed?

Good
evening,
mayor
Hicks
in
Mountain,
View
Community,
Council
Members,
my
name
is
JC
hatterly
and
I'm.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
the
Santa
Clara
Valley
Audubon
Society,
our
organization
organizations
with
other
local
and
Regional
groups
have
been
advocating
for
the
preparation
of
a
dark
sky
ordinance
in
Mountain
View,
which
is
something
that
previous
speakers
have
mentioned.
Since
the
development
of
LED
technology,
we
have
seen
light
pollution
increase
exponentially.
The
spectrum
of
light
has
also
shifted
from
warm
yellow
light
to
cold
blue
wavelings.
AJ
AJ
We
also
ask
that
you
prioritize
a
capital
Improvement
project
to
stop
the
erosion
of
the
sailing
Lake
Island.
The
island
is
critically
important
to
nesting
black
skimmers
and
other
local
species.
Protecting
the
island
is
included
in
the
shoreline
Wildlife
Management
plan,
which
will
come
to
you
for
discussion
soon
on
March
14th,
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
recommended
prioritizing
protection
of
the
island
and
the
design
and
permitting
of
this
project
is
likely
to
take
a
long
time.
So
it's
important
to
start
soon
and
I
hope
that
you
include
it
in
the
work
plan.
V
Hi,
yes,
hello,
councilman
from
catalysis
to
be
here.
Thank
you
for
the
direction
to
speak
on
this
item.
I
again
want
to
reiterate
the
value
of
community
engagement
and
particularly
as
it
could
potentially
address
some
of
the
community
concerns
that
have
been
expressed
today.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
do
focus
on
affordable
housing
creation,
figuring
out
collaborative
ways
of
making
it
work
in
our
community.
Part
of
that
is
facilitating
conversations
between
residents,
public
decision
makers
and
neighbors.
V
It
has
been
our
experience
that
many
of
the
residents
and
the
neighbors
share
a
lot
of
the
same
concerns
as
today.
We've
heard
one
of
those
being
safety.
I
also
want
to
highlight
our
programming
in
the
areas
of
urban
forestry
and
support
for
sustainable
development
practices.
We
hosted
an
event
in
partnership
with
District
5
from
San
Jose
last
year,
where
we
brought
residents
in
to
learn
about
the
value
of
the
tree
canopy.
V
AG
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Keith
Silva
I
am
a
business
reputive
representative
for
Sheet
Metal,
Workers
Local
104.
I
represent
several
thousand
members
across
the
greater
Bay
Area,
many
of
which
live
in
the
wonderful
city
of
Mountain,
View
and
I'm.
Here,
as
we
heard,
implementing
for
a
community
Workforce
agreement,
Community
Workforce
agreements
provide
open
competition
and
bidding
and
high
road
contractors
are
not
pushed
out
by
Bad
actors
who
get
a
foot
in
the
door
with
a
low
bid
but
end
up
costing
more
in
the
long
run
through
cost
overruns
and
change.
AG
Orders
like
Community
Workforce
agreement
will
save
the
city
money
not
only
in
the
short
term,
but
also
in
the
long
term
as
a
high
quality
construction
will
extend
the
usable
life
of
projects
and
reduce
repairs.
I'm
a
firm
believer
that
communities,
cities
who
Implement
a
community
Workforce
agreement
are
ultimately
better
off.
AK
Second,
within
the
mode
ability
and
connectivity
priority,
there
are
a
number
of
projects
in
support
of
active
transportation
and
vision.
Zero
Transportation
creates
a
majority
of
our
City's
greenhouse
gases,
so
encouraging
active
Transportation
by
making
a
convenient,
safe,
pre-filled
and
attractive
is
absolutely
key
to
reduce
our
car
traffic
and
boy.
Less
car
traffic
would
be
a
happy
thing
for
everybody.
AK

AL
Hello,
my
name
is
Joshua
Leeds
and
I'm,
the
conservation
organizer
for
the
Sierra
Club
Lumber
Prieta
chapter.
We
support
the
implementation
of
dark
sky
policies
to
protect
ecological
and
human
health
from
the
negative
impacts
of
light
pollution.
Light
pollution
affects
both
humans
and
Wildlife,
as
circadian
rhythm
disruption
from
like
pollution
can
affect
our
hormone
regulation,
including
growth
hormones
in
children,
and
can
lead
to
increased
risks
of
cancer
and
other
ailments.
AL
Light
pollution
also
affects
critical,
Wildlife
behaviors
and
can
result
in
fatal
incidents
from
many
species
such
as
Birds,
who
can
get
thrown
off
their
migration
routes
entirely
from
Sky
glow.
We're
aware
that
members
of
this
Council
have
expressed
interest
in
dark
sky
policies
in
the
past,
and
we
encourage
you
to
add
the
creation
of
a
dark
sky
ordinance
to
your
work
plan.
Consider
using
cupertino's
ordinance
as
a
starting
point.
AL
We'd
also
like
to
thank
the
council
for
everything
you've
done
so
far
in
climate
change
and
as
you
move
forward
with
climate
action,
we
ask
you
to
simultaneously
enhance
biodiversity
and
ensure
Equity.
We
must
reduce
emissions
while
protecting
and
restoring
nature.
The
continued
existence
of
gas
pipelines
is
fundamentally
incompatible
with
Mountain
View
strategic
priorities.
Indoor
air
pollution
from
Gas
Appliances
threatens
the
livability
and
quality
of
Mountain
View
residents
and
these
pipelines
consistently
leak
and
leak
during
the
end
use
in
our
homes.
AL
Furthermore,
the
demand
we
generate
for
gas
here
leads
to
massively
polluting
operations
such
as
fossil
fuel
extraction
in
the
Permian
Basin.
We
support
Mountain,
View's,
ongoing
efforts
to
decarbonize
buildings
and
the
development
and
Rapid
implementation
of
a
city-wide
decarbonization
plan.
Let's
start
planning
for
a
future
without
gas
pipelines.
A
AM
Can
okay
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
I'm,
my
name
is
Danny

Fitters
Local

I
represent
over
900
active

men
and
women
who
install
Life
Safety
fire
protection,
many
who
live
and
work
in
Mountain
View
I'm
here
to
kind
of
echo.
You
know
some
of
the
previous
comments
about
the
community
Workforce
agreements.
AM
Cwas
can
also
ensure
projects
are
completed
on
time.
You
know
they
prevent
serious
delays
by
providing
alternate
alternatives
to
work,
stoppages
and
attract
the
best
of
the
best,
and
you
know
the
most
knowledgeable
professional
of
contractors
who
know
how
to
properly
plan
out
and
then
follow
up
that
and
execute
a
project
so
I'm
here
tonight
to
just
urge
the
staff
to
negotiate
a
CWA
and
return
for
a
vote
by
August.
Thank
you.
A
A
C
Thank
you,
mayor,
Hicks
I'll
be
sharing
a
slide
that
outlines
the
discussion
topic
for
the
Strategic
priorities,
which
includes
the
staff
recommendation
to
confirm
the
priorities
as
written
or
to
determine
their
missing
critical
elements
or
new
concerns
that
have
emerged
in
the
community
that
require
modification
of
the
Strategic
priorities,
provide
input
to
staff,
and
then
staff
will
bring
back
wording.
Changes
for
consideration
in
the
next
phase
of
the
council
work
plan
development
process
as
appropriate.
You
do
have
a
slide
that
displays
the
Strategic
priorities
for
your
reference
during
this
discussion.
E
I
A
I
was
going
to
make
one
seeing
no
other
comments.
I
was
going
to
make
one,
which
is,
if
you
look
at
the
the
priority
for
economic
Vitality.
The
first
sentence
is
support:
a
walkable,
beautiful,
vibrant,
downtown
and
accessible
Village
centers
that
draw
residents
and
visitors
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
that
sentence
could
that
that's
linked
to
so
many
of
the
priorities,
it's
part
of
mobility
and
connectivity
because
it
supports
walkability.
A
It's
also
a
part
of
livability
and
quality
of
life,
but
I
also
think
it
is
a
part
of
economic
Vitality,
because
if
a
downtown
is
attractive
and
Village
centers,
then
more
people
shop
there
and
and
hence
economic
Vitality.
It
leaves
me
wondering
whether
it
should
be
under
economic,
Vitality
or
livability
and
quality
of
life.
It
seems
equally,
it
seems
like
it
could
be
in
either
one
of
those
I
think
for
now
we
can
leave
it
there,
but
but
I.
A
A
So
the
council
will
now
discuss
potential
Council
work
plan
projects
and
before
we
begin
discussion
of
these
items,
the
potential
Council
work
plan
project,
comprehensive
updates
to
the
downtown
precise
plan
requires
some
members
of
the
council
to
recuse
themselves
due
to
conflicts
of
interest.
Could
council
members
with
conflicts
of
interest?
Please
make
your
recusal
statements.
A
H
I
Manacek
yeah
I
feel,
like
we've
talked
about
this
gosh
several
years
ago,
and
then
we
prioritized
updating
three
sections
of
the
downtown
precise
plan,
thinking
that
we
would
get
back
to
the
larger
precise
plan
as
soon
as
we
could
so
I'm,
absolutely
in
favor
of
keeping
this
in
the
queue
and
hope
others
are
in
favor
of
that
as
well.
Thanks.
H
Well,
I'd
like
to
make
a
comment
when
I
look
at
this.
One
of
the
things
I'd
like
to
see
us
work
on
this
one
together
is
the
Moffett
Boulevard
precise
plan.
I
think
that
there
should
be
a
great
deal
of
synergy
between
the
two
plans
and
so
I
hope
that
when
the
planning
goes
on
staff
will
they
could
conceivably
be
combined
or
maybe
done
as
sort
of
sister
plans,
but
I
think
that
they're,
you
know
when
the
underpass
under
the
Central
Expressway
is
finished.
H
Then
there's
going
to
be
just
a
much
much
better
connection
between
the
the
downtown
we
have
now,
which
I
think
we
all
think
of
as
Castro
Street
and
the
Moffett
area
and
I'm
hoping
that
20
years
from
now,
everybody
will
just
assume
that
that
Moffat
area
is
part
of
downtown
too
it'll.
Be
kind
of
seamless.
So
I
think
that
when
we
go
through
this
planning
process,
we
should
take
that
in
mind.
So.
K
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
I.
Think
I
don't
want
to
preclude
our
colleagues
from
participating
in
the
Moffett
Boulevard
precise
plan.
So,
while
I
agree
that
they
they
ought
to
be
integrated
in
some
fashion,
I
think
we
have
to
be
careful
about
not
to
explicitly
tying
them
together,
because
we
might
inadvertently
create
a
conflict
of
interest
right.
The
reason
the
mayor
and
council
member
ABI
kogar
aren't
here
is
because
they
can't
participate
in
the
downtown
precise
plan.
So
I
guess
a
question
for
for
the
for
the
city
manager
would
be.
F
F
So
I
I
think
for
purposes
of
updating
the
downtown
precise
plan
and
then
looking
at
a
brand
new
Moffett,
Boulevard
precise
plan.
It's
it's
a
little
bit
different,
but
certainly
I
would
imagine
they
will
be
incorporated
some
parts
of
it,
but
as
far
as
making
sure
that
they're
bifurcated
staff
would
recommend
keeping
them
separate.
H
Well,
I'm
I'm
not
concerned
with
them.
Being
you
know
at
this
point
being
completely
emerged:
that's
not
what
I
meant
to
suggest
what
I
meant
to
suggest
is
that
they
are
related
and
that
they
should
be
discussed
that
should
be
brought
up
in
in
parts
of
the
discussion,
which
I
think
is
something
that
planning
would
likely
do
anyway,
but
I
just
want
to
bring
It
Forward
that
that,
because
of
their,
you
know
this
expectation
of
the
underpass
and
it's
going
to
be
a
a
nice
connection
and
making
important
change
so
I
I.
I
Council
member
management,
thank
you.
Actually
that
was
one
of
the
ones
we
kind
of
skipped.
The
questions
section
of
this
study
session
I
had
a
question
about
actually
the
Moffett
Boulevard
precise
plan,
because
on
one
attachment
it
says
that
we
are
going
to
develop
the
Moffett
Boulevard,
precise
plan
and
in
a
different
attachment.
It
says
we're
going
to
hold
a
study
session
to
explore
consideration
of
a
Moffitt,
Boulevard,
precise
plan
and
I
I.
I
Guess
I'm
wondering
one
sounds
like
we've
already
done
it,
and
we've
decided
we're
going
to
do
a
precise
plan
which
I
don't
think
we
have,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
careful
about
our
wording
of
things
because
we
actually
haven't
had
that
study
session
yet
to
decide.
Do
we
want
to
do
a
malefic,
Boulevard,
precise
plan?
That
was
the
direction
we
talked
about
in
the
past.
C
I
believe
that
the
holding
a
study
session
to
discuss
the
development
of
a
Moffett
Boulevard
precise
plan
is
in
the
fiscal
year
21-23
work
plan
and
there
is
a
timeline
for
completing
that
particular
item
and
bringing
it
to
Council
in
the
near
future.
With
the
consideration
that
beginning
the
development
of
a
Moffett,
Boulevard,
precise
plan
would
need
to
be
considered
for
the
council
work
plan
as
well.
H
Does
anybody
else
have
a
question
about
the
downtown
I'm,
seeing
no
questions?
Okay?
So
let's
have
a
straw
poll
and
then
we
can
get
our
other
council
members
back
to
talk
about
them.
Often,
okay,
straw
poll,
everybody
raise
their
hand
please,
if
they're
for
it.
Okay,
anybody
against
all
right,
so
that
passed
our
council
members,
other
council
members,
mayor
Hicks
and
council
member
Abacoa.
Please
turn
return
to
the
diocese.
H
A
C
Thank
you,
mayor
Hicks.
The
discussion
for
this
section
will
be
focused
on
the
recommendations
for
carry
forward
projects
and
the
plan
projects
that
staff
recommends
for
consideration
in
the
fiscal
year,
23-25
Council
work
plan.
Those
projects
are
listed
in
sections,
a
b
and
c
of
attachment.
Two
to
the
study
session
memo
and
staff
request
that
the
council
provided
feedback
on
each
of
those
project
groupings.
A
I
I
Would
this
be
similar
to
the
approach
we
took
with
the
wage
theft
and
responsible
construction?
Where
kind
of
a
draft
came
to
us
with
the
major
elements
we
had
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions,
make
additions,
deletions
that
kind
of
stuff
and
then
the
next
time
it
came
to
us
it
was
comprehensive
of
all
of
our
input.
Would
this
be
the
same
process.
AN
AN
I'll
just
note
that
we
have
been
doing
some
research
recently,
we've
looked
at
various
agreements
locally
so
including
the
ones
listed,
San
Jose,
Valley,
Water,
we've
looked
at
VTA
Santa,
Clara,
County,
they're,
all
a
little
different
and
there's
a
reason.
Why
is
because
they
each
took
the
time
to
really
consider
how
the
policies
will
not
only
achieve
the
goals
of
the
governing
boards,
but
will
also
ensure
that
we
can
still
deliver
our
capital
projects
as
successfully
and
quickly
as
possible
and
have
a
really
good
competitive
bidding
process.
AN
L
AL
AN
AN
AN
So
it's
that
it's
the
time
you
know
I'm
personally,
spending
on
the
great
separation
projects,
the
Castro
Pedestrian
Mall.
These
are
all
things
that
have
made
it
challenging
to
find
the
time
to
prepare
a
study
session
and
we're
going
to
need
some
consultant
help
and
get
a
consultant
on
board
that
can
you
know
help
provide
the
support
that
we
need
to
bring
for
you
a
study
session
with
these
policy
questions
that
are
really
thoughtful
and
and
really
examine
what
might
be
with
you.
AN
What
will
help
achieve
our
goals
for
a
community
Workforce
agreement
for
Mountain
View,
so
the
these
are
what's
been
driving
it
and
why
you
know
we
put
as
a
June
study
session,
because
you
know
that's
the
timing
by
which
you
can
get
a
consultant
on
board
and
free
up
the
time
at
really
our
leadership
level
to
prepare
for
a
study
session.
For
you.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that,
and
I
and
I
understand
that
I
guess
what
what
I
was.
Thinking,
though,
is
in
a
way
I
feel
like.
We
need
this
policy
because
we
have
so
many
projects
that
the
police
policy
could
be
could
affect
the
projects
so,
rather
than
just
letting
Capital
Improvement
projects
continue
on
without
a
policy
I'm
very
interested
in
having
the
policy
first
before
we
go
out
to.
AL
L
With
what
it
would
take
to
to
make
this
policy
to
be
able
to
complete
it
sooner
and
I'll
say
by
the
end
of
this
20
to
23,
with
the
trade
to
what
the
trade-offs
would
be
to
make
that
happen,
I
had
a
few
other
items.
If
that's
okay,
so
I
heard
that
Moffitt
precise
plan
item,
I,
guess
I
I
thought
I
understood
all
these
charts
or
attachments
and
then
I
realized,
maybe
I
didn't,
because
I
was
looking
for
that
project
and
I
couldn't
find
it.
L
But
it
looks
like
it
was
on
two
different
and
in
written
in
two
different
ways,
but
there
are
other
projects
that
I
was
looking
for,
such
as
the
gun
safety
ordinances.
So
we
had
done
the
safe
storage,
ordinance
and
I
I.
Remember
that
we
we
talked
about
taking
looking
at
all
of
the
other
ones
and
doing
all
of
the
other
ones.
We
were
originally
like
a
couple
years
ago
saying
we
could
do
one
a
year,
but
then
we
I
think
we
last
year
talked
about
doing
more
more
quickly.
B
So
I'm
not
sure
about
all
of
the
other
ones
like
the
gun,
safety,
storage
and
all
of
that,
because
I
know
that
some
of
those
have
come,
but
one
of
the
ones
that
we
are
working
on,
that
we
just
got
direction
from
Council
on
not
too
long
ago
is
an
ordinance
that
is
one
imposing
a
permit
requirement
for
firearm
dealers
and
is
also
amending
the
zoning
ordinance
to
prohibit
firearm
sales
as
a
home
occupation.
So
you
will
be
seeing
that
in
May,
probably
around
the
May
time
frame
it's
it's
drafted.
B
We
are
doing
some
legal
research
on
the
amortization.
If
you
remember
that
was
one
of
the
things
we
discussed
so
that
is
coming
and
is
basically
drafted,
we're
just
finishing
up
that
research.
So
you
will
that's
comprehensive.
It
will
add
an
entire
new
section
to
the
code
and
it
will
amend
a
section
of
the
zoning
ordinance,
so
you'll
be
seeing
that
soon.
So.
AL
B
L
You
moving
on
to
micro,
Mobility
I,
appreciate
the
e-scooters
being
included
if
I
can
provide
commentary
on
that
I
appreciate
the
Bike
Share
program.
We
were
just
at
MTC.
The
other
day
approved
20
million
dollars
more
to
expand
Bike
Share,
but
the
plan
is
to
do
it
in
the
cities
that
already
have
it
like
San,
Jose
and
I've
asked
them
to
look
at
bringing
it
back
to
cities
that
had
it
like
Mountain
View
before
they
took
it
away
from
us.
L
But
in
addition,
I
I
went
to
a
transportation
conference
last
year
last
week
and
they
talked
about
e-scooters
and
that
just
how
much
ridership
increased
by
adding
e-scooters
so
I
appreciate
that
that
I'm,
assuming
that
we
are
going
to
add
that
to
this
okay,
the
other
piece
was
micro
in
micro,
Mobility,
I,
remember
discussing
the
via
the
shuttle
program.
That
Cupertino
has
the
on-demand
shuttle
program
and
they
had
asked
if
we
would
be
interested
in
partnering
with
them
and
I.
L
Remember
I
think
we
said
yes
I'm,
pretty
sure
we
said
yes,
but
again
this
is
pre-covered
so
wondering
where
that
is
and
part
of
it
is
maybe
I'm
not
I
got
a
little
confused
with
the
CIP
list
and
then
our
priorities
was
because
they're
projects
that
appear
on
both
and
then
there
are
projects
that
don't
so
I
don't
know.
If,
if
you
can
yeah
help
me
navigate
through
some
of
this.
AN
AN
We
have
not
been
overly
pursuing
this
or
studying
this
as
staff.
For
a
couple
of
reasons
number
one
is
we
have
a
very
successful
Mountain
View
Community
shuttle
program.
That
is,
you
know
by
the
way
I
should
let
you
know
that
I
think
it
was
last
week
of
the
week
before
we
hit
100
of
pre-covid
passenger,
for
you
know
we
peaked
on
a
day
and
we
keep
seeing
the
ridership
grow
and
that
is
using
a
significant
amount.
AN
You
know
it
uses
some
staff
time
and
resources,
but
it
also
use
is
a
significant
amount
of
the
funding
that
the
city
has
available
for
transit
services
and
the
key
thing
about
via
services,
with
the
Cupertino
program
and
I
apologize.
I,
don't
have
the
exact
numbers
in
front
of
me
and
but
other
cities
that
use
it
is
one.
It
tends
to
require
a
city
subsidy.
The
city
has
to
help.
You
know
these
cities
have
been
helping
to
cover
the
operating
costs.
AN
There
have
been
grants
out
there
that
can
help
with
starter
seed.
Money
will
last
for
a
year
or
two,
but
it's
not
meant
to
be
ongoing
continuously
and
number
two.
They
all
charge
fares
because
it's
actually
a
fairly
high
cost
to
to
actually
deliver
the
service.
So
it's
very
successful
in
cities
like
Cupertino
and
I
know,
Palo
Alto
is
trying
something
similar
out
where
you
don't
have
a
shuttle
system
that
serves
a
good
part
of
your
city.
AN
F
Mayor
may
I
may
I
add
something
so
to
piggyback
on
that.
As
a
public
works
director
Cameron
mentioned
the
funding
the
services
the
the
shuttle
is
provided
by
our
business
license
tax
and,
as
you
all
will
hear
about
in
the
next
item,
the
business
license.
Tax
revenue
is
projected
to
decrease
pretty
significantly
in
the
next
fiscal
year
and
Beyond,
just
as
a
reminder
that
tax
is
provided
by
businesses
based
on
head
count
of
their
employees.
F
L
Thank
you
for
that
explanation
and
I
I.
Think
that's
fine,
I
guess
I,
don't
recall
us
having
it
come
back
to
us
for
with
that.
With
that
information
and
the
discussion,
so
you
know
I,
guess
that's
what
I'm
asking
is.
There
are
some
of
these
projects
that
it's
been
a
while
and
I
couldn't
remember
where
they
were,
but
if
there's
a
way
to
you
know
yeah
issues
like
that
they
can
come
back
to
us,
so
we
can
then
make
the
decision
as
to
whether
we
want
to
move
forward.
I.
L
L
AO
It
is
my
memory,
although
I'd
like
the
opportunity
to
refresh
it
that
we
made
a
there,
was
a
council
decision
to
remove
that
item
from
the
work
plan
based
on
the
things
that
were
happening
at
the
State
Legislative
level.
Regarding
the
restricting
of
Vape
products.
I
do
see
our
police
chief
and
our
city
manager,
who
may
want
to
chime
in.
F
Thank
you,
mayor
council,
member
Abe
Koga,
so
it
was
removed
from
the
work
plan
and
that's
because
there's
a
state
law
about
vaping
and
at
that
time
I
believe
that
we
discussed
it.
I'd
have
to
look
at
our
our
notes
and
come
back
to
council
about
that,
but
that
at
that
time
that's
what
was
discussed
and
why
it
was
removed.
L
And
I
don't
know
I,
don't
recall
the
state
law
or
enough
to
know
what
that
does
as
opposed
to
I
think
what
we
had
originally
intended,
and
you
know
this
was
something
that
came
up
as
we've.
We
now
have
a
store
downtown
and
that's
what
reminded
me
so
yeah
it
doesn't
have
to
be
today,
but
if
we
could
get
clarification
on
that,
that
would
be
helpful
and
I'm
sorry.
L
These
are
just
things
that
kind
of
popped
up
in
my
mind
in
the
last
overnight,
as
a
project
said:
I
yeah,
I,
remember
at
some
point
in
time
as
talking
about
but
I'll
move
on
to
the
revenue
measure
item
in
the
list.
So
we
are
talking
not
just
tot
hotel
tax
but
other.
Are
we
planning
to
look
at
different
options
for
a
new
measure.
L
AN
AN
F
That
is
correct,
mayor
council,
member
Abe
Koga.
So
if
you
all
wanted
to
elevate
that
as
one
of
your
priority
projects,
you
could-
and
we
also
have
our
community
services
director
John
Marchant
here-
if
it
would,
if
it
would
help
to
expand
on
that
any
further.
But
that
certainly
is
something
you
could
could
elevate.
A
So
I'm
going
to
ask
a
question
of
clarification
on
that
one,
because
actually
this
is
a
question.
I
have
on
a
number
of
of
items
you're
here
the
biodiversity
strategy
seems
Seems
to
include
only
Landscaping
choices,
but
you're,
saying
that
Dark
Skies
is
also
under
that
umbrella
or
that
we
would
have
to
add
it
to
that
umbrella
or
add
it.
As
a
separate
item
mayor.
F
AP
That
is
correct.
Thank
you.
City
manager,
McCarthy.
So
the
current
biodiversity
plan
may
look
at
the
overall
dark
sky,
but
if
there
is
a
desire
for
us
to
do
even
more
it's
a
matter
and
whether
you
would
like
that
to
come
as
a
policy
decision,
then
that
would
be
needed
to
be
added
as
an
additional
element
and,
as
stated,
a
phase
two
may
be
appropriate
depending
on
what
other
items
of
interest
there
are
based
on
the
council's
discussion
further.
A
So
I
think
I'll
ask
more
because
it's
a
related
question.
I've
also
been
hearing
a
lot
recently
because
of
our
sort
of
I
think
the
cycle
we're
going
to
continue
having
of
droughts
and
then
heavy
storms,
and
then
we,
then
we
go
back
to
a
drought
and
not
having
enough
water,
because
we
don't
capture
the
water.
A
For
instance,
groundwater
flows
back
into
the
into
the
ocean,
so
I've
I've
heard
more
about
increased
groundwater
capture
through
various
biodiversity
measures
like
bios
whales
and
additional
measures
and
I'm
wondering
whether
that's
something
that
was
envisioned
is
currently
envisioned
under
the
biodiversity
plan.
Or
is
that
another
item
that
would
be
under
the
umbrella
that
we,
you
know
like
the
Dark
Skies?
Is
it
something
we
should
highlight
tonight
that.
AN
Well,
that
is
correct
in
terms
of
our
not
only
Street
design
but
any
kind
of
a
major
project,
whether
it's
a
new
building
or
a
park
is
there
are
we
we
put
in
BIO,
swells
and
other
ways
to
handle
storm
water
in
order
to
not
only
you
know,
potentially
recapture
it
and
have
it
go
into
the
ground,
but
also
ensure
that
you
know
that
we're
not
increasing
the
storm
water
flow
into
the
creeks.
You
know
we're
trying
to
capture
it
more
on
site.
Now.
AN
We
could
talk
further
with
our
water
resources
manager
about
and
and
she
could
provide
more
information,
because
it's
a
process
by
which
you
replenish
the
aquifers
under
the
ground,
and
you
know
where
they're
located
and
how
that
feeds
into
it.
But
the
issue
of
bioswells
generally
have
to
do
with
capturing
your
storm
water
on
site
and
also
can
include
a
cleaning
process
a
little
bit
for
the
water
as
it
sinks
down
into
the
ground.
A
AN
To
some
extent,
it
can
be
looked
at
in
the
biodiversity
strategy
in
terms
of
how
it
it
supports
our
biodiversity
goals,
but,
as
vice
mayor
Showalter
was
saying,
one
of
the
primary
impetus
for
Bio
swells
and
trying
to
capture
the
storm.
Water
is
more
related
to
storm
water
pollution
controls,
storm
water
flow,
so
a
lot
of
that
is
already
regulated
by
some
of
our
permits
and
how
we
design
our
projects.
A
A
AN
Not
sure
I
would
use
the
term
that
was
part
of
complete
streets.
It
is
part
of
when
we
do
a
road,
Expansion,
Project
or
add
New
Roads,
as
well
as
as
I
saying
we
we
build
new
parks,
we
might
build
a
new
building.
For
instance,
you
may
have
noticed
that
the
new
community
center,
if
you've,
taken
a
tour
you've,
seen
they've
added,
swales
and
other
ways
to
capture
and
treat
storm
water
on
site.
The
ringsdorf
Aquatic
Center
will
include
this
many
of
our
parks
that
we're
working
on
now.
A
Great
to
hear,
because
I
think
the
edges
of
parks
are
often
underused.
You
don't
want
kids
rolling
their
balls
really
near
the
street,
so
but
it
also
seems,
like
you
say,
during
Road
expansion,
I'm
actually
hoping
we
do
less
Road
expansion
and
more
Road
diets,
and
that's
where
I
would
want
to
see
more
bias,
whales
and
other
green
streets.
So
there's
a
lot
of
places
that
this
could
be
a
part
of
and
there's
also
the
climate
resilience
re-evaluation.
AN
Okay,
thank
you
for
reminding
me.
I
really
appreciate
that
mayor
I
should
mention.
The
active
Transportation
plan
is
also
specifically
looking
at
complete
green
streets,
and
is
cons
will
be
considering
policies
as
well
as
opportunities
that
is
part
of
our
street
Improvement
projects,
more
green
streets
as
you're
discussing
so
you
will
see
that
come
back
to
you
via
the
active
Transportation
plan
and
I
want
to
be
clear
that
we're
also
coordinating
the
active
Transportation
plan
closely
with
the
biodiversity
strategy
and
the
parks
and
rec
strategic
plan.
A
AN
H
I
will
just
remind
everybody
that
in
the
consent
calendar
we
okayed.
The
extension
of
the
verb
agreement,
which
is
the
the
regional
plan
permit
shared
permit,
is,
has
all
the
requirements
for
things
like
bios
whales
in
them,
as
well
as
it's
our
npdes
permit
of
the
for
the
Clean
Water
Act.
So
anyway,
that
was
also
on
our
agenda
tonight.
If
anybody
was
paying,
we
were
paying
attention
to
that
anyway.
I
want
to
go
on
to
things
related
to
this
item
and
I.
H
I
too,
have
quite
a
few
questions
about
how
things
sort
of
map
I
am
I,
talked
to
quite
a
few
people
to
get
ready
for
this
meeting.
This
is
a
really
important
meeting.
I
mean
we
only
have
this
discussion
every
two
years.
So
it's
it's
a
big
deal
and
I
I
tried
to
talk
to
quite
a
few
people
about
what
was
important
to
them
and
I
would
say
you
know
the
number
one
thing
I
heard
that
was
was
really
bike:
safety
and
vision.
H
It
seems
to
me
that
that,
of
course
something
like
this
is
so
important
that
we
can
never
feel
like
we're
doing
it
fast
enough,
but
at
the
same
time
we're
making
a
lot
of
progress.
So
do
you
think
what
would
be
the
change
if
we
made
more
bike
infrastructure
a
council
priority
from
what
we
are
already
doing?
How
would
that
change
things?
Or
would
it
change
anything.
AN
At
the
same
time,
the
good
news
is
as
I've
you
know,
I
got
looks
like
three
new
Engineers
starting
at
the
end
of
this
month.
I've
got
four
more
job
offers
going
out
in
the
next
two
weeks,
I'm
trying
to
fill
10
I'm,
not
kidding,
10
project
manager,
positions
are
vacant
and
that's
what's
led
to
these
delays.
So
we've
been
strategizing
again
on
how
to
get
these
projects
delivered
as
quickly
as
possible,
which
is
why
you
saw
the
creative
item
two
weeks
ago.
AN
We
said
well,
in
addition,
the
grant
sleeper
enter
intersection,
we'd
like
to
add
nine
other
intersections,
that
have
been
long
needed
for
pedestrian
Crossing
improvements
and
put
them
all
under
one
design.
Consultant.
One
project
manager
move
them
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
one
is
waiting
for
materials
get
the
other
one
going
on
construction
you're
going
to
see
other
similar
projects
really
starting
to
really
move
forward
appearing.
AN
We
just
recently
have
been
pulling
for
two
Council
Transportation
committee
meetings
to
happen
in
the
next
three
two
to
three
months
and
they're:
very
full
agendas,
because
we're
ready
to
bring
to
you
the
El,
Monte,
Court
or
study,
we're
really
ready
to
bring
to
you
some
additional
bike
and
pet
thoughts
that
we
have
for
the
Miramonte
project
that
could
be
built
into
the
paving
project
and
I'm.
You
know
I've
got
two
or
three
other
key
ones
that
we
want
to
bring
to
council
Transportation
committee,
get
art
Direction
and
then
get
it
brought
to
council.
AN
H
H
Okay,
all
right
that's
later
and
then
the
other
thing
I
I
heard
a
tremendous
amount
about
is
keeping
sure
that
our
sustainability
projects
are
front
and
center,
and
that
is
is
something
that
I
think
is
I
understand
in
looking
at
at
the
list
of
these
that
that
they
are
and
so
we're.
You
know,
we
can't
move
fast
enough
with
it,
but
we're
you
know
we're
doing
the
best
that
we
can
and
we
will
continue
to
push
on
that.
H
Your
whole
life
long
so
I
I
I,
wanted
to
I
brought
that
up,
as
is
this
something
that
we
need
to
adopt
as
a
a
city
priority
to
teach,
as
many
amount
of
you,
kids
to
swim
as
possible.
So
I
met
with
community
development
director
Marchand
about
that,
and
it
turns
out
that
we
have
increased
the
the
number
of
swimming
lessons
that
are
available
dramatically
by
having
spring
and
fall
lessons.
H
And
then,
of
course,
when
ringsdorf
comes
back
online,
you
know
we'll
have
more,
but
so
I
I
understand
that
that
that
that
is
going
forward
and
also
as
part
of
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department
strategic
planning
effort.
I
hope
that
some
of
the
community
barriers
or
the
cultural
barriers
associated
with
making
people
understand
how
important
it
is
to
have
their
children
taught
to
swim
will
be
dealt
with
so
I
just
want
to
I'm
seeing
Mr
Marchand
shake
his
head.
H
A
So,
council,
member
sure
Walter
you
brought
up
sustainability.
Did
you
want
our
sustainability
staff
is
available
to
answer
that
I
know
it
was
a
little
confusing
because
I
think
many
projects
were
put
under
one
or
two
titles
and
which
might
make
it
as
opposed
to,
for
example,
some
of
the
bike
CIP
projects,
which
are
a
whole
long
list.
So
it
may
seem,
like
I,
think
we're
doing
a
lot,
but
it
may
seem
like
we're
doing
very
little.
Did
you
want
our
sustainability
staff
to
answer
that
question,
or
do
you
feel
like
you?
Have
it
answered.
D
AO
Seymour
randburg
assistant
city
manager,
and
we
also
have
participating
remotely
Danielle
Lee,
our
chief
sustainability
and
resiliency
officer
and
I.
Think.
Your
summary
mayor
is
correct
that
there
are
right
now
one
project
that
stands
for
dozens,
which
is
the
sustainability
action
plan
for
which
is
in
various
stages
of
status.
In
terms
of
many
of
the
projects
being
completed,
many
being
well
underway
and
some
others
that
might
potentially
be
de-prioritized.
AO
As
we
really
look
at
what
the
next
big
umbrella
is
in
place
of
a
sustainability
action
plan,
five,
which
is
really
a
decarbonization
strategy,
just
being
much
more
purposeful
in
Our
intention
to
decarbonize
and
looking
at
what
the
big
strategies
are
that
move
that,
needle
with
regard
to
electrification
of
vehicles
and
of
buildings
with
tremendous
progress
already
made
in
our
new
buildings.
Through
the
reach
codes
that
the
council
has
adopted.
AO
And
as
we
prepare
to
bring
that
forward
to
council,
we
would
also
be
bringing
forward
a
status
update
on
the
sustainability
action
plan
for
again
which
projects
completed,
which
ones
might
be
reprioritized.
And
that
would
first
go
to
our
Council
sustainability
committee.
Before
coming
to
the
council.
A
AO
Thank
you
for
that.
It
might
be
fewer
projects,
but
but
ones
that
would
be
of
a
very
significant
scope
and
then
the
second
item
is
a
assessment
around
vulnerability
to
really
get
at
the
other
part
of
our
our
chief
officers,
title,
which
is
the
resiliency
side
of
sustainability
and
resiliency,
and
then
I
guess
the
last
thing
I
would
say
in
terms
of
capacity
and
resources.
AO
This
Council
really
has
made
tremendous
investments
in
sustainability
by
dedicating
a
7,
a
half
million
dollar
Capital
Improvement
program
budget
to
fund
positions
and
projects,
and
that's
how
we
did
create
and
fill
the
position
of
the
chief
sustainability
and
resilience
officer,
a
analyst
that
is
dedicated
only
to
electrification
project
issues
and
that,
along
with
our
existing
coordinator
and
fellows,
we
have
seven
staff.
Three
analysts,
two
fellows
the
coordinator
and
the
the
chief
officer
which
compared
to
when
this
program
started.
AO
I
I
had
made
the
assumption
and
I
need
to
understand
if
this
was
a
correct
assumption,
that
any
of
the
actions
that
were
part
of
that
would
be
included,
and
we
wouldn't
have
to
one
by
one
say
we
want
to
do
this.
We
want
to
do
that
and
I'm
really
not
sure,
based
upon
our
discussion
about
other
topics
tonight.
F
How
does
this
work?
Thank
you,
council,
member
matacek,
so
I
think
it's
more
of
an
art
than
a
science.
So
there
are
certain
aspects
of
plans
that
we
have,
that
Council
has
identified,
of
being
kind
of
your
very
very
top.
Priorities
are
important,
similar
to
what
the
assistant
city
manager
just
said
about
decarbonization.
So,
even
though
the
sap
for
the
sustainability
action
plan
4
has
80
some
projects,
there
may
be
that
one
project
that
really
Rises
to
the
top
carbon
neutrality.
F
That's
that's
one
of
them
that
comes
to
mind,
so
that's
something
that
you
all
have
prioritized.
That
is
on
the
work
plan
now.
So
if
there
are
things
within
biodiversity
or
the
parks
and
rec
strategic
plan
that
you
feel
really
need
to
be
elevated
as
part
of
your
work
plan,
you
could
choose
to
do
that,
but
to
your
question.
I
Is
there
something
I
would
want
to
elevate
so
I'm,
not
sure
I
can
do
that
tonight,
I,
don't
know
if
everybody
else
has
them
all
memorized,
but
I
know
I,
don't
and
then
my
other
question
is
you
know
we
talked
about
this
Moffett
Boulevard,
precise
plan
and
I
I'm,
not
sure
we
closed
on
it
in
terms
of
what
really
is
the
scope
of
that
and
I
believe
that
the
scope
is
on
attachment.
One
page,
six,
the
last
item
on
that
page,
as
opposed
to
what's
on
attachment
to
so
on
attachment
one
page,
six.
C
It's
noted
that
the
project
isn't
started
and
that
staff
anticipates
beginning
the
project
to
hold
a
study
session
in
quarter
12023
or
this
quarter.
It's
included
on
the
attachment,
2
planned
and
existing
projects
list,
I
believe,
with
the
assumption
that
if
Council
were
to
want
to
move
forward
with
the
Moffett
Boulevard
precise
plan,
we
wanted
to
reflect
the
staff
capacity
that
would
be
required
to
complete
that
project.
I
F
C
Correct
it
is
included
in
the
staff
report.
I
do
want
to
note
in
the
staff
report
and
on
that
slide
we
didn't
include
include
plans
or
initiatives
or
projects
that
haven't
been
adopted
or
approved
by
Council.
Yet
so
anything
that's
on
the
list
that
we're
thinking
of
biodiversity,
strategy,
Parks
and
Recreation
strategic
plan.
Those
are
forthcoming
and,
as
we've
noted
may
have
additional
projects.
Yes,.
F
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
So
when
the
plans
are
developed
or
adopted
and
I'll
just
use
the
sustainability
action
plan
as
an
example,
80
80
projects
in
that,
so
we're
not
going
to
elevate
80
projects
to
the
council
work
plan,
but
there
were
I
think
maybe
one
or
two
items
that
were
elevated
just
by
the
nature
of
them
that
they
were
all
encompassing.
That
doesn't
mean
that
the
work
isn't
still
underway
with
that
plan,
because
a
lot
of
those
plans
or
strategies
take
multiple
years.
F
So,
for
example,
Parks
and
Rec
strategic
plan,
that's
being
worked
on
now
we
don't
actually
have
those
items
yet
because
that
hasn't
come
to
council.
That's
intended
to
come
to
you
all
within
the
next
few
months,
biodiversity
strategy,
same
thing
that
will
come
to
you
all
I
believe
this
fall.
So
when
you
actually
see
a
list
of
the
items,
sometimes
those
items
have
gotten
elevated,
but
in
general
it's
the
plan
itself.
That
is
the
priority
like
I
said
it's
more
of
the
art
than
the
science.
AL
M
F
We
there
have
been
times
where
staff
has
come
back
to
council
to
say
we're
not
able
to
do
all
of
this
with
their
existing
resources,
and
sometimes
we
have
recommended
those
resources
in
the
budget
so
that
that
can
happen
and
you'll
hear
in
the
next
Council
agenda
item
that
we
are
planning
to
budget
for
some
items
that
we
know
are
coming
up.
So
it
can
happen.
But
it's
not
for
every
item.
M
AL
M
F
So
that
would
be
in
the
next
item,
so
d,
e
and
f
were
intended
to
be
possibilities.
If
you
wanted
to
elevate
those
and
really
I
believe
it's
D,
because
those
are
the
projects
that
you
all
could
choose
to
elevate
to
your
work
plan
as
part
of
your
10
recommended
10
project
list
e,
our
CIP
projects
already
underway.
So
we
will
continue
to
do
those
and
F
are
all
of
the
housing
element
projects.
So
that
would
be
something
to
discuss
in
the
next
round
of
of
questions.
So
those
would
be
new
items.
F
M
And
then
I
had
actually
one
specific
question
relating
to
item.
Not
item
attachment
one,
and
this
also
kind
of
goes
into
like
when
are
things
at
what
point
is
this
project
done
and
then,
but
we're
still
kind
of
working
on
it?
So
someone
brought
up
to
me
item
1.6
and
it
was
deemed
complete,
but
my
understanding,
that's
the
explore
the
feasibility
of
alternative
Mental
Health
crisis
response
methods.
M
AO
That's
the
program
that
you
know
it's
it's
it's
like
the
Cahoots
program
and
others
that
have
been
highlighted
as
best
practices
in
other
parts
of
the
the
state
in
the
country,
and
luckily
the
county
has
created
a
pilot
to
bring
that
mobile,
non-police
driven
response
model
to
North
County,
and
so
we
were
able
to
use
the
work
of
the
public
safety,
Advisory
Board
to
help
inform
that
program,
and
then
there
was
grant
funding
or
rather
Federal,
earmark
funding.
That
was
provided
through
our
congressional
representative
in
issue
to
support
that
same
objective.
AO
AO
It
creates
a
whole
new
body
of
of
work
that
becomes
ongoing
often
and
that
kind
of
expands
what's
below
the
iceberg,
as
well
as
doing
work,
that's
above
the
iceberg,
and
it
becomes
a
little
bit
of
a
semantics
and
if,
if
we're
not
continually
able
to
grow
as
an
organization
in
our
resources,
then
the
the
work
that
that
switches
down
or
kind
of
moves
down
to
that
below
the
water
line
takes
away
from
the
capacity
that
allow
that
that
we
have
available
to
do
new
work
plan
items.
But
it
doesn't
discontinue.
It
doesn't
stop
happening.
M
Thank
you
for
that
I
guess
now.
It's
it's
more
now
for
comments
on
these
items.
I'm
I'm,
happy
with
all
projects
in
a
I
would
also
like
to
add
my
plus
one
to
council,
member
matacek
and
council
member
Abe
Koga
on
prioritizing
the
development
developing
a
community
Workforce
agreement.
I
would
love
to
see
that
move
a
little
quicker
and
I.
M
A
So
I
think
we're
asking
questions
now.
Oh
we're
still
just
questioning
sorry,
it's
all
right.
It's
often
very
confusing,
so
I
and
I've
also
been
asked.
We've
been
going
on
for
a
while
I've
been
asked
for
a
break,
so
I
think
what
we're
going
to
do.
I
assume,
council,
member
Ramos
that
you're
done
with
your
questions,
so
I'll
take
questions
from
council
member
May
and
council
member
Ramirez
and
ask
mine
and
then
we'll
do
a
break
and
then
we'll
come
back
and
make
our.
J
Thanks
mayor
so
perhaps
now
I'm
confused,
because
I
thought
we
I
thought
we
were
commenting
on
the
remaining
potential
Council
work
plan
projects,
including
the
proposals
for
carry
forward
transition
and
plan
projects.
So
my
understanding
is
now's
opportunity
to
talk
about
a
b
and
c
okay.
So
it's
not
just
questions
we're
talking
about
a
b
and
c.
A
J
K
So,
for
instance,
I'll
talk
briefly
about
D,
because
I
think
D
is
the
most
confusing
section
in
attachment
two
d
section
D
includes
items
that
are
nearly
complete.
It
includes
non-discretionary
items,
it
includes
things
required
by
state
law,
small
things
that
might
be
achieved
in
other
contexts.
It's
sort
of
a
hodgepodge
and
I
think
that's
that's
partly
why
I'll
speak
for
myself
I'm
confused
about
exactly
how
this
is
all
going
to
map
out.
K
So
is
it
fair
to
say,
for
instance,
if
we
were
going
to
place
D1
develop
a
comprehensive
public
art
strategy
which
is
nearly
complete
into
the
work
plan?
Essentially,
what
we're
saying
is
we're
going
to
just
not
add
an
item
that
will
actually
take
up
staff
capacity
is
that
is
that
are
those
functionally
equivalent.
K
Right
so
same
thing
with
adding
something
to
the
work
plan,
that's
required
by
state
law.
Essentially,
what
we're
saying
is
we're
going
to
take
off
or
remove
an
opportunity
for
us
to
add
something
new
that
would
that
would
Impact
Staff
capacity?
Okay,
that's
helpful.
I
think
that
that's.
That
was
the
distinction
that
I
wasn't
quite
grasping.
K
Right
and
I
came
up
in
the
context
of
the
Dark
Skies
ordinance
where
it
sounds
like
we're
exploring
that
in
the
biodiversity
strategy,
but
we
could
also
elevate
it
in
the
work
plan
and
there
might
not
actually
be
the
distinction
between
the
two.
It
would
simply
mean
that
we're
going
to
create
additional
space
to
get
the
stuff
in
the
work
plan
or
to
to
increase
the
probability
that
the
stuff
in
the
work
plan
actually
will
be
accomplished.
F
Council
member
Ramirez
for
that
item,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
components
to
the
biodiversity
strategy,
so
it
will
take
time
to
roll
out
the
various
items.
So,
if
you
all
prioritize
the
Dark
Skies
ordinance
part
of
that,
then
that
would
be
something
that
staff
would
likely
work
on
above
some
of
the
other
items
that
come
in
the
biodiversity
strategy
to
you
all.
So
there's
going
to
be
a
number
of
of
elements
of
that.
K
AP
AP
If
you
want
to
elevate
it
you're
actually
preceding
what
we
expect
an
outcome
to
be,
and
so
you
would
be
taking
that
element
in
advance
of
what
some
of
our
expectations
are
as
far
as
timeline
and
you're,
elevating
that
to
acknowledge
that
as
a
work
plan
item
that
you're
interested
in
before
it's
coming
to
you
before
the
actual
plan
is
complete.
So.
K
Another
way
of
thinking
about
that
is,
the
biodiversity
strategy
could
include
recommendations
that
staff
would
actually
prioritize
above
the
Dark
Skies
ordinance.
We
don't
know
what
those
higher
priorities
will
be,
but
we're
going
to
presuppose
that
the
highest
priority
will
be
dark
skies
in
this
case.
That
is
correct.
Okay,
so
that's
that,
thank
you.
That's
helpful.
I
think
that
that
clear
clears
up
a
lot
of
the
ambiguity
in
my
mind
about
how
this
is
structured
so
similar
to
questions
that
have
already
been
asked.
But
again,
for
my
benefit,
that's
that's
true.
K
Also
for
California
Street,
that's
already
in
the
CIP
we're
already
working
on
it.
I
think
the
Public
Works
director
had
said,
including
it
formally
in
the
work
plan,
wouldn't
speed
it
up.
It
wouldn't
mean
we're
delivering
it
more
quickly.
It's
simply
giving
us
some
space
to
guarantee
that
things
in
the
work
plan
are
more
likely
to
be
achieved
within
the
two-year
cycle.
F
Council
member
ramirezuela,
Public
Works
director
is
coming
up.
I'll
also
say
that
it
also
helps
by
daylighting
it
for
the
public
more
frequently
because
we
are
going
to
be
coming
back
with
six
month
updates
to
council,
and
so
when
an
item
is
on
the
work
plan,
especially
an
item.
That's
in
our
CIP
list,
there's
so
many
items
and
we
don't
often
come
back
to
council
with
an
update
on
the
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
items
that
we're
doing
so.
AN
Thank
you,
I
was
going
to
say
something
similar,
because
that
was
how
this
work
item
was
initially
introduced
by
Laurel
was
talking
about
putting
a
capital
project
on
your
work
plan
means
you
are
expecting
more
frequent
updates
about.
It.
You're
also,
basically
telling
us
that
if
we
have
a
staffing
shortage
or
a
staffing
issue,
that's
the
project
we're
going
to
focus
on
over
other
projects.
We
may
not
have
started
yet.
AN
However,
having
said
that,
when
we
already
have
a
project,
that's
well
into
design,
it's
already
on
course,
and
it's
it's
moving
forward
and
we
don't
typically
being
projects
that
are
well
into
design
to
a
pause
or
stop.
We
want
to
get
them
into
construction,
so
usually
capital
projects
that
are
useful
to
put
on
your
work
plan
might
be
the
large-scale
capital
projects
that
actually
could
take
a
lot
of
resources
to
get
it
through
design
and
has
multiple
steps
involved
with
it.
And
you
want
to
keep
it
top
of
mind.
AN
You
want
to
see
regular
updates,
so
examples
of
that
that
come
to
mind
are
like
the
great
separation
projects
and
they
have
a
lot
of
moving
Parts
a
lot
of
other
agencies
involved
that
could
cause
it
to
come
to
be
stalled
out.
So
it's
a
great
separation
projects,
the
public
safety
building
and
our
sea
level
rise
projects.
Frequently
we
we,
you
know,
we
put
something
related
to
those,
sometimes
because
of
the
nature
of
the
project.
We
want
to
keep
all
eyes
on
it
make
sure
it
truly
is
a
high
priority.
K
AN
Well,
the
safe
well
one
is
there
can
be,
you
can
consider,
there's
overlap,
but
the
local
Road
Safety
plan,
slash
Vision
zero
action
plan
is
more
comprehensive
and
looking
at
all
of
our
you,
our
people
moving.
You
know
whether
they're
driving
it
includes
drivers
and
Automobiles,
as
well
as
bicycle
and
pedestrians,
and
an
overall
you
know
identifying
strategies
that
we
want
to
take
in
order
to
make
our
roads
overall
safer.
Now
safe
routes
to
school
program
is,
as
it
says,
focused
on
improving
safety
related
to
students
by
getting
to
school.
AN
So
it's
kind
of
a
subset
of
the
local
Road
and
safety
program.
A
key
reason
why
you
will
see
them
different,
though,
is
safe
routes
to
school
program.
It
is
a
is
a
major
undertaking
and
it
includes
not
only
Capital
infrastructure
improvements,
but
education
and
encouragement
and
that's
a
big
part
of
the
activity
and
your
road
safety
plan
and
vision.
Zero
action
plan
can
tend
to
be
more
focused
on
your
infrastructure
improvements.
K
AN
Is
a
component
of
the
vision,
zero
plan
and
it
is
and
an
encouragement
for
using
alternate
modes
and
so
on,
but
I
think
the
key
is
the
local
Road
and
safety
plan,
so
the
local
Road
Safety
plan
is
was
undertaken
because
it
is
now
a
requirement
to
have
such
a
plan
adopted
that
meets
Caltrans
standards.
Caltrans
actually
defines
what
has
to
be
in
your
local
Road
Safety
plan
in
order
to
be
eligible
for
future.
AN
Certain
federal
transportation
grants
so
many
jurisdictions
when
they
start
to
undertake
the
local
Road
Safety
plan,
which
is
more
of
a
systemic
look
at
your
road
Network
and
it's
a
little
different
than
Vision
zero.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
overlap,
so
a
vision,
zero,
we'll
take
you
back
to
that
focus
is
on
the
high
Injury
Network.
It
looks
at
your
past
Collision
history,
where
you've
had
collisions
with
severe
injuries
and
fatalities
and
focused
on
what
you
want
to
do
to
improve
those
locations
and
make
them
safer.
AN
Local
Road
Safety
plans
is
more
of
a
systemic
look
at
your
road
system
where
one
of
the
key
foundations
of
it
is
you
look
at
what
are
some
of
the
key
characteristics
of
an
intersectional
Road.
Where
you
have
a
history
of
collisions,
and
now
you
say:
do
we
have
other
intersections
that
have
similar
characteristics?
They
may
not
have
the
history
of
collisions,
but
they
have
similar
characteristics.
So
you
want
to
apply
the
same
type
of
counter
measures
to
those
intersections
or
Road
segments.
AN
That
is
it's
a
combination
of
achieving
our
vision,
zero
policies,
but
also
in
terms
of
where
you
have
a
past
history
of
collisions,
but
also
taking
a
step
further
and
looking
at
your
whole
systems,
more
of
a
systemic
approach
and
identifying
high
priority
improvements
that
you
want
to
make
that
is
not
just
based
upon
your
history
of
collisions,
it
is
I
will
mention
we're
we're
well
underway
with
finishing
that,
and
that
is
one
of
the
items
that
is
scheduled
to
come
to
CTC.
We
hope
in
in
their
May
meeting
it's
already
a
version.
K
K
AN
What
may
come
out
of
it
in
terms
of
the
previous
discussion
is
there
may
be
implementation
strategies
that
come
out
of
it?
You
know
it's
sort
of
that
transition.
I
know
we
had
a
question
in
your
question.
Your
answer,
questions
and
answers.
That's
very
similar
to
the
questions
that
the
city
manager
was
just
responding
to
where
we
said
for
the
active
Transportation
plan,
which
is
a
high
on
your
priority
list.
AN
Now
out
of
that
plan
to
be
finished
in
about
a
year
will
be
a
whole
list
of
will
be
priority
capital
projects
which
we
will
integrate
into
our
CIP,
but
there's
also
going
to
be
likely
some
recommendations
for
new
policy
policy
revisions
code
amendments
and
all
of
those
could
lead
into
one
or
two
key
items
that
may
be
on
your
future
priority
list.
In
order
I
mean
the
intent
would
be
to
fulfill
the
entire
plan
over
time,
but
your
priority
list
helps
determine
where
we're
going
to
put
maybe
initial
Focus.
AN
K
I
that
might
be
helpful
to
flesh
out
when
this
returns
in
April,
because
it
feels
like
we're,
including
in
the
work
plan
for
the
next
two
fiscal
years-
an
item
that's
going
to
be
achieved
this
fiscal
year
and
I'm
I'm,
not
persuaded
that.
There's
a
lot
of
value
in
that.
But
if
what
we're
saying
in
practices
this,
what
this?
What
C2
actually
is
is
the
implementation
of
the
local
road
safety
and
vision,
zero,
Action,
Plan
and
there's
a
lot
of
Staff
capacity
necessary
to
achieve
that
over
the
next
two
years.
Then
I
understand
the
value.
AN
And
I
will
note
that
I
see
staff
put
it
out
to
quarter
to
2024
to
finish
so.
The
piece
I
saw
that
went
to
the
B
pack
will
show
tremendous
progress
and
we'll
plan
to
bring
to
CTC.
But
it
looks
like
they're
thinking
that
they
are
going
to
need
through
a
good
part
of
next
fiscal
year
to
finalize
it
and
get
something
final
to
you.
So
I
apologize,
I
didn't
look
at
the
schedule
before
I.
K
AN
Must
have
been
well
before
my
time.
I
do
not
remember
a
project
of
Church
Street
safety
improvements.
I
will
say
that
Church
Street
has
been
the
subject
of
more
than
one
neighborhood
traffic
Management
program
and
several
years
ago,
sections
of
Church
Street
had
various
traffic
calming
measures
installed,
and
then
we
recently
just
went
through
another
postcard
survey
for
adding
speed
humps
to
a
remaining
segment
of
Church
Street
that
did
not
have
traffic
calming
measures
and
that
survey
came
back.
AN
Very
positive,
definitely
met
all
the
criteria,
so
we're
just
waiting
for
the
weather
to
improve
and
put
out
a
work
order
to.
You
know
add
some
speed
humps
on
that
remaining
section
of
Church
Street,
but
I'm
not
familiar
whether
there
was
another
project
and
I
know.
We
need
to
be
careful,
because
we
have
two
council
members
that
live
on
that
section
of
Church
Street
yeah.
K
AN
So
we've
been
through
for
the
Latham
project
that
for
the
section
that
qualified
for
neighborhood
traffic
Management
program,
in
terms
of
you
know
speeding,
the
key
was
vehicle,
speeding,
which
was
the
subject
of
the
the
big
petition
that
we
received.
We've
been
through
the
community
meeting,
the
last
I
heard.
We
had
done
a
postcard
survey
but
got
a
very
few
postcards
back
and
we
feel
that
part
of
the
reason
might
be
a
language
barrier
as
well
as
we're
dealing
with
a
lot
of
apartment
complexes.
A
So
I'm
going
to
ask
my
questions.
Luckily,
they've
got
and
then
we'll
take
the
break,
we'll
take
the
break
and
we'll
come
back
to
to
make
our
comments,
which
will
be
about
whether
there
are
specific
emissions
or
changes
requested.
But
before
that,
my
my
questions
have
have
mostly
been
answered:
I'm
going
to
bring
up
one
that
we've
several
of
us
have
talked
about
and
I
still
don't
fully
understand
it.
This
is
The
Moffat,
precise
plan,
which
it
appears,
as
people
have
said,
as
both
a
study
and
as
doing
it.
A
In
my
opinion,
we
have
this.
Turning
into
a
comment
am
I.
In
my
opinion,
we
have
to
do
it
as
soon
as
possible,
because
I
believe
that
there
may
be
developments
that
happen
and
we
may
lose
a
lot
of
the
a
lot
of
the
neighborhoods
serving
retail
that's
important
to
people
there
and
that
we
also,
you
know,
need
to.
A
We
need
to
continue
the
sidewalks
and
make
it
a
second
half
of
our
downtown
and
also
their
opportunities
for
density,
but
I
don't
want
to
lose
some
of
those
things
because
the
development
happens
before
we
do
the
plan.
So
is
this?
This,
when
it's
described
as
a
study,
is
that
study
of
whether
to
do
it
is
that
something
that
would
slow
it
down.
AQ
AQ
The
reason
it's
also
showing
up
as
a
future
item
is
because
there
is
a
Time
sensitivity
here,
both
from
a
planning
effort
that
was
sort
of
mentioned
before,
but
also
there
is
a
million
dollar
MTC
grant
that
we're
looking
at
applying
for
in
the
next
like
60
days,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
miss
out
on
that
opportunity.
If
there
is
interest
by
the
council
and
doing
a
precise
plan.
A
A
If,
if
that
applied
to
a
particular
building
and
that
sort
of
curated,
you
know
facade,
Improvement
Plus,
in
other
words,
not
just
handing
people,
five
thousand
dollars
and
say,
go
buy
a
bucket
of
paint,
but
a
little
a
little
design
assistance
that
was
tremendously
important
in
reducing
vacancies
and
making
Downtown
Oakland
more
vital.
I
would
like
to
see
something
like
that
here
is
that,
would
that
be
something
I
would
bring
up
under
the
economic
Vitality
plan,
or
should
I
be
highlighting
it
tonight
or
again?
Is
that
more
of
an
earth.
F
So
that
could
be
an
item
to
bring
up
during
that
discussion
because
number
in
in
section
B
and
it
is
labeled
B2-
is
begin
implementation
of
the
economic
Vitality
strategic
plan.
So
that
would
incorporate
all
of
the
items
that
are
in
the
economic
Vitality
strategic
plan,
which
could
include
the
item
that
that
you're
referencing,
especially
if
you
do
want
to
bring
it
up
at
that
time.
I
also
see
that
our
assistant
city
manager
and
Community
Development
director
has
her
hand
raised,
or
she.
K
F
In
Zoom
I'm
not
sure
if
she
wanted
to
speak
to
this
or
another
item,
she
does
have
it
raised.
Yes,
okay
and
for
some
reason
I
am
we
I
hope
we're
not
having
some
technological
issues,
but
she
has
been
promoted,
but
I
don't
see
her,
so
it
looks
like
maybe
she'll
be
joining
soon,
but
Mr
vastava.
Are
you
there.
AR
H
D
A
E
J
J
Think
of
the
point
of
the
of
what
we
talked
about
in
the
subcommittee
was
we
often
have
different
projects
or
plans
that
end
up
intersecting
and
we
don't
have
a
good
opportunity
to
see
them
all
or
see
how
they
might
intersect
talk
to
each
other
and
and
having
one
document.
So
we
could
see
that
all
laid
out
as
clearly
as
as
you
know,
feasible
was
the
goal
there.
J
Thirty
Thirty,
okay
I'm,
looking
at
my
various
charts,
okay,
so
30
projects,
two
in
item
a
that
are
of
interest
to
me
that
I
just
wanted
to
to
highlight
that
other
colleagues
talked
about
was
in
A7.
The
community
Workforce
agreement,
I
really
appreciated
the
questions.
Colleagues
asked
and
the
timeline
that
our
Public
Works
director
shared
I'm
I,
want
to
be
cognizant
of
the
staff
capacity
and
the
different
vacancies,
and
so,
while
I
think
in
an
Ideal
World,
this
would
probably
be
completely
off
the
work
plan.
J
Since
we
discussed
it
first
in
in
2019,
I
want
to
give
the
June
2023
when
this
will
come
back
to
to
counsel
the
opportunity
to
flesh
it
out
and
I.
Don't
feel
like
we're
going
to
be
wedded
to
this
projected
timeline.
My
Hope,
Is
that
with
dedicated
time
from
public
works
and
having
the
opportunity
of
looking
at
the
different
agreements
and
tweaking
it
to
Mountain
View,
we
might
be
able
to
reach
that
goal.
That
council,
member
Abe
Coco
was
bringing
up
of
being
able
to
finish
that
sooner.
J
The
other
in
item
a
is
A14,
which
is
the
Moffitt
Boulevard
precise
plan,
and
appreciate
Miss
Hagan's
comments
on
on
that
I
do
think.
A
study
session
is
warranted
after
a
lot
of
the
conversations
Council
had
over
the
last
few
years
and
and
I
want
to
support
that
I.
Don't
necessarily
want
to
get
into
tweaking
the
existing
timelines,
which
staff
has
presented
kind
of
again.
J
Going
back
to
the
staff
report
discussing
the
various
workloads
that
are
currently
happening,
I
I
do
want
to
give
staff
the
opportunity,
as
we
emerge
from
the
pandemic,
to
kind
of
see
how
some
of
this
plays
out
so
I
I
don't
feel
like
I'm
going
to
be
tweaking
the
timeline.
So
at
this
point,
I
support
staff
recommendation
for
a
B
and
C.
Thank
you.
I
I
I
Yeah
and
so
C
8,
9
and
10
are
ones
I'm
interested
in
prioritizing
I
actually
had
talked
to
some
folks,
and
we
were
thinking
that
maybe
we
dropped
C7,
which
is
the
micro
Mobility,
including
the
scooter
share
and
I,
think
we
were
thinking
that
the
bike
share.
We
stopped
and
I
can't
remember
why
I,
but
I
thought
it.
We
stopped
doing
it
because
it
wasn't
very
successful
why'd.
We
stop.
AS
L
You
can
we
had
it
under
VTA
was
running
it,
and
then
it
was
so
successful
that
MTC
took
it
over
and
when
they
took
it
over,
they
decided
to
focus
on
the
big
cities
and
dropped
Mountain
View.
Then
we
did
we
allowed
like
the
companies
to
come
in
on
their
own
and
they
set
those
up,
but
the
Corrals
and
whatnot
I
I
understand
they
just
went
away
it
pulled
out.
So
that
was
what
happened
with
the
Bike
Share
program.
L
But
so
the
latest
is,
as
I
mentioned,
is
with
MTC.
They
are
expanding
the
program
and
their
initial
thought
was.
They
would
expand
it
in
the
cities
that
already
have
them,
but
we've
been
talking
with
them.
Some
of
the
cities
that
used
to
have
them
and
lost
them
are
now
talking
to
them
about
bringing
them
back
to
our
cities
so
that
that's
the
current
status
and
then
I've
asked
for
the
e-scooters
because
it
seems
like
e-scooters
are
actually
more
popular
than
bike
bikes.
AN
Well,
that
was
related
to
the
Via
Services,
which
is
on-demand
transit
services.
If
I
may
just
add
a
little
bit
more
to
what
councilman
Bradley
Koga
was
mentioning
when
we
did
our
pilot
program,
where
we
allowed
the
Bike
Share
companies
just
come
into
Mountain
View
for
a
very
low
cost
permit
and
free
free.
You
know
parking,
you
know
where
they
could
park
the
bikes.
They
didn't
have
to
be
docked.
Dockless
parking.
AN
D
L
L
As
you
know,
I
wanted
to
do
the
tot
lost
out
on
that
vote,
and
so,
and
it
may
not
be
tot-
may
not
be
enough-
is
what
I'm
hearing
so
the
sooner,
and
it
just
takes
time
to
get
the
right.
Do
the
polling
and
whatnot
to
see
what
would
work
so
we
def
I
believe
we
really
need
to
get
going
on
that
and
I
support,
C9
and
I.
Guess:
I
can't
talk
about
C10,
but
the
the
item
that
I
was
looking
at,
oh
and
then
C7.
L
L
AQ
That's
a
great
question,
so
this
particular
online
permitting
is
about
you
know:
building
planning,
Public
Works
permits
part
of
what
we're
looking
at
both
because
of
state
law
requirements
and
also
just
as
part
of
our
larger
streamlining
efforts.
We
are
looking
at
what
I
would
call
sort
of
these
simple
permits,
or
these
smaller
permits
that
streamlining
them
and
making
in
some
cases
some
of
them
under
state
law,
are
going
to
be
mandated
to
be
reviewed.
AQ
AQ
L
H
H
A
A
There
were
one
two
three
possible
change:
three
or
I'm
going
to
say
four,
because
I'm
gonna
have
to
walk
away
when
we
talk
about
the
downtown
precise
plan,
I
think
so
so
four,
but
three
that
I'm
gonna
to
bring
up
so
we'll
stay
on
the
staff
schedule,
because
nobody
said
not
to
with
possible
exceptions
that
we
can
take
straw
votes
on
one
is
to
drop
C7
that
council
member
matachek
brought
up.
That
was
the
one
on
E
bikes
and
scooters.
Do
you
still
want
to
do
that
or
given
the
additional
discussion?
A
A
K
F
Mayor
council,
member
Ramirez-
so
yes,
this
is
already
just
by
virtue
of
the
deadlines
that
we
have
to
to
meet
with
the
counties,
Revenue
measure
deadlines
which
are
really
next
summer.
This
will
automatically
be
sped
up
and
we're
already
starting
work
on
this.
So
what
we'll
have
to
do
is
bring
it
back
to
council
for
consideration
in
terms
of
what
potential
Revenue
measure
you
all
are
interested
in,
we'll
likely
need
to
have
a
subcommittee
so
we're
going
to
get
started
on
this
process
immediately.
Okay,.
A
K
D
AN
Essentially
we're
already
going
as
fast
as
we
can
and
in
fact
you
will
find
in
your
next
agenda
item
a
mid-year
budget
request
to
add
funding
to
the
program
that
will
allow
us
to
plan
for
an
expanded
program
next
school
year,
and
we
will
we're
continuing
to
look
at
how
we
can
expand
the
program.
But
it's
a
continuous
process.
We're
doing.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
mayor
may
I
just
comment
on
that
too.
So
one
of
the
things
that
staff's
going
to
do
when
we
come
back
in
April
is
priority
suggest
how
to
prioritize
your
priorities.
Clearly,
we
will
take
your
direction
tonight
when
you
identify
the
items,
but
one
of
the
things
that
it's
going
to
do
for
staff
is
to
make
sure
that
those
items
are
are
frankly
the
items
that
we
accomplish
during
the
next
work
plan
cycle.
F
So
I
think
it's
it's
okay,
that
we
kind
of
flag
these
with
an
asterisk
if
they're
your
priorities
and
then
when
we
come
back
in
April,
we'll
just
make
sure
to
note
that,
but
but
now
that
you
all
know
that
at
least
the
revenue
measure
and
the
safe
routes
to
school
are
kind
of
on
our
radar
as
being
really
high
priorities
and
we're
moving
them
fast.
Okay,.
X
E
F
When
we
come
back
to
you
all
in
April,
one
of
the
things
that
staff
is
going
to
do
over
the
next
month
and
a
half
is
look
at
all
of
the
projects.
So
let's
say
you
all
say
yes
to
all
30
projects
or
29
in
a
b
and
c
whatever
it
ends
up
being
they're,
going
to
look
at
all
those
projects
and
come
with
a
recommendation
to
council
to
say
these
are
your
high
priority
projects.
F
These
are
your
medium
priority
projects
and
these
are
important
projects,
but
they
may
not
necessarily
get
fully
accomplished
in
the
next
work
plan
cycle,
but
identifying
your
high
priority
projects
is
something
that
we
will
be
bringing
to
you
and
that's
part
of
what
you
all
will
weigh
in
on
in
April
to
bless
it
or
to
change
it.
If
you
want
to
shift
things
around
so.
F
K
K
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
I'm,
my
my
understanding,
is
in
April.
We
will
be
assigning
category
a
b
and
c
priority
with
category
a
being
the
highest
priority
and
category
C
being
projects
that
we
will
accomplish
when
there's
time
and
capacity
with
so
with
the
exception
of
the
one
that
I
think
we're
going
to
vote
on
next
A7,
my
preference
would
be
to
have
staff
flesh
out
what
these
projects
actually
mean
and
will
look
like
and
then
provide
a
recommendation
on
prioritization,
because
right
now,
I'm
I.
K
A
I
A
So
are
you
ready
so
you
would
like
to
wait,
okay
and
then
also
for
the
community
Workforce
agreement,
which
is
A7
council
member
abek
hoga.
You
brought
that
one
up.
Would
you
like
us
to
vote
on
it?
Okay,
so
that's
and
then
there's
also
going
to
be
the
downtown
precise
plan.
One.
Are
you
withdrawing
that
or
should
council
member
Abaco
and
I
leave
the
room
while
you
prioritize
or
not
prioritize
it.
K
The
difference
in
in
my
mind,
is
what
what
we're
asking
for
is
information
from
staff
about
what
would
need
to
be
sacrificed
in
order
to
speed
it
up
fairly
significantly
right.
So
it's
that
maybe
it's
a
distinction
without
a
difference,
but
it
sounds
like
it's
a
it's
a
non-trivial
impact
to
speed
up
the
CWA
and
it
would
and
staff
I
think
needs
some
time
to
explain
to
us
what
the
trade-offs
might
be
and
that's
that's
different
from
assigning.
K
You
know
category
a
b
or
c
priority,
which
is
the
April
study
session
exercise
where
I
think
we
we're
using
timelines
that
are
largely
congruent
with
what
staff
is
proposing
to
us
where
there
wouldn't
need
to
be
a.
You
know,
a
greater
any
additional
analysis
on
if
we
were
to,
for
instance,
bring
up
the
CW
wave
to
a
December
2023
time
frame.
You
know
what
what
are
we
sacrificing
in
order
to
accomplish
that
goal?.
I
C
If
I
may
make
an
alternative
suggestion,
one
of
the
criteria
that
you've
approved
for
a
staff
to
consider
in
our
analysis,
to
help
prepare
a
recommendation
for
this
prioritization
conversation
is
urgency
and,
in
this
conversation,
you've
given
us
plenty
of
information
about
the
relative
urgency
of
some
of
these
projects.
That
could
be
factored
in
along
with
the
staff
impact
into
that
recommendation.
So
if
that's
sufficient
for
the
council
tonight,
there
may
not
be
no
need
to
have
a
vote
and
I
do
want
to
make
a
point
of
clarification
for
our
City
attorney.
C
B
J
Thanks
so
I
think,
given
Miss
James
explanation,
I
I
feel
comfortable,
not
voting
on
prioritization.
It
sounds
like
we've
given
a
lot
of
feedback
in
terms
of
urgency
for
what's
currently
in
the
list
of
projects
for
a
b
and
c,
and
so
it
sounds
like
in
April.
Perhaps
we'll
get
the
information
that
we
need
to
maybe
drill
down
on
if
we'd
like
to
move
it
up
or
down
in
the
list?
That
was
what
the
summation
of
what
I
heard.
Does
that.
L
AL
D
A
O
A
Okay,
so
next
we
are
next,
staff
is
going,
Council
will
have
the
opportunity
to
propose
so
staff
is
going
to
oh
summarize,
Council
Direction
I.
Think
we've
done
enough
of
that.
Now.
Council
will
have
the
opportunity
to
propose
potential
new
work
plan
projects.
Each
council
member
will
have
the
opportunity
to
share
up
to
two
projects.
Staff
will
record
Council
proposals
as
they
are
made.
The
proposal
will
then
be
subject
to
a
straw
poll
staff.
A
L
Thank
you
mayor,
so
we
get
to
propose
two.
Is
that,
yes,
you
do
all
right
so
well,
and
this
one
maybe
well
it
ties
into
the
gatekeeper
discussion
and
I.
Don't
know
if
we
should
have
had
that
first,
but
I
would
like
to
propose
that
we
look
at
just
overhauling
the
gatekeeper
process
because
in
all
frankness,
I
don't
really
know
what
project,
what
our
criteria
is
anymore.
L
L
That's
obvious,
but
you
know
I
think
we
just
need
to
look
at
the
entire
process
and
come
up
with
some
clear
criteria
and
it
actually
I
shouldn't
I,
don't
want
it
to
I,
don't
want
it
to
stall
like
when
we
can
talk.
I
guess,
we'll
talk
about
the
gatekeeper
process
for
this
year
later
is
that
the
plan
so
I
can
add
more
thoughts.
L
A
D
L
Is
two
different
things
but
I
think
that,
because
I
don't
want
to
do
like
a
moratorium
and
to
do
the
you
know,
reho
the
overhaul,
like
I,
think
we
should
can
look
at
doing
something
in
2023,
but
I
think
we
really
do
need
to
look
at
the
gatekeeper
process
because
I
don't
know
if
it's
really
working
the
way
and
to
be
honest,
I,
don't
even
know
anymore
what
the
intent
of
it
is.
Okay,.
L
H
Thank
you
well.
I
would
like
to
say
here
here
to
what
councilmember
Abby
Koga
said:
I
I
really
think
that
the
gatekeeper
project
has
it's
morphed
into
something
we
that
was
really
never
intended,
and
it
it
is
a
a
real
barrier
to
innovation
in
our
community
and
we're
supposed
to
be
the
Innovation
Center
for
Silicon
Valley,
which
so
so
this
is
just
you
know.
It's
just
not
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be
so
I
think
reevaluating.
H
The
gatekeeper
project
program
is
is
very
important
and
so
I'm
really
glad
that
you
brought
that
up.
That's
great
I
was
going
to
bring
that
up,
but
I'm
glad
you
brought
it
up
and
then
the
other
one
I
would
like
to
bring
up
is
the
holistic
review
of
our
parking
regulations
on
February
14th.
We
discussed
the
72-hour
Rule
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
mentioned
as
a
possibility
was
was
looking
at
how
well
it
fits
in
with
all
of
our
parking
regulations.
H
I
I
really
think
that
we
need
to
have
an
overview
of
them
and
we
need
to
really
consider.
Why
do
we
have
you
know?
What
is
it
that
we
want
to
regulate?
What
do
we
need
these
regulations
to
do
and
are
they
doing
it?
Are
they
meeting
our
needs
and
we
also
need
to
understand
how
they
fit
together?
So
that's
my
my
second
one,
I
guess.
H
The
other
thing
I
wonder
about
is
moving
things
up
and
if
I
get
to
have
an
if,
if
Margaret's
going
to
take
the
gatekeeper
and
I
get
to
have
another
one,
I
want
to
move
up
the
Stevens
Creek
Trail
extension.
It
is
e24
and
I
know
we
have
it's
under
here
on
quality
of
life
I,
don't
know
why
it's
not
also
mobility
and
connectivity,
but
anyway
we
have
grant
funding
to
do
that.
H
I
H
AN
Thank
you
that
is
correct.
What
we
have
is
a
grant
for
design
which
is
not
insignificant.
We're
estimating
this
design
cost
is
going
to
be
6
million
or
more,
as
I
recall,
I'm
trying
to
work
off
of
them
every
year,
but
it
is
something
that
is
on
our
work
plan
that
we
want
to
assign
a
project
manager
this
summer
in
order
to
get
the
project
going.
It's
one
of
our
many
new
hires
that
we're
doing
that's
going
to
create
the
project
manager.
The
grant
funding
that
we
had
was
an
extra
long
one.
AN
We
had
up
to
10
years,
but
frankly,
we've
eaten
into
three
years
of
that
already.
So
we
do
want
to
get
started.
It
is
going
to
be
a
major
construction
cost,
but
it's
an
example
one
by
getting
through
design
and
starting
that
process.
That's
where
you
start
to
create
the
opportunities
for
future
Grant
funds
towards
Construction.
I
Okay,
thank
you
so
in
terms
of
new
ones,
I
think
some
folks
are
going
to
bring
up
some
later
during
this
discussion.
That
I
would
support,
but
the
one
I
haven't
heard
anyone
mention
is
I'd,
actually
I've
heard
from
residents
that
they
would
like
to
revitalize
Gateway
Park.
This
is
the
park
at
the
corner
of
Castro
and
El
Camino.
I
It
is
I
mean
I
feel
like
Gateway
is
kind
of
an
overused
term,
but
if
I
had
to
use
it
one
place,
I
would
say
this
is
a
Gateway
Park,
because
it
is
marking
the
entrance
to
Castro,
Street
and
I.
Think
it
could
be
make
more
of
a
statement,
be
more
significant,
be
more
useful,
be
more
attractive,
although
I
would
not
want
to
destroy
any
trees.
I'll
quickly.
I
Add
that
but
I
think
you
know
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time,
sprucing
up,
Castro
and
doing
things
not
all
the
way
down
to
that
end,
but
you
never
know,
and
that
might
eventually
happen,
and
so
I
would
like
to
actually
Revitalize
Gateway
Park
and
that's
the
only
one
I
guess
I'll
reserve,
my
other
one.
Just.
D
I
A
K
You
mayor
so
first
I,
I,
guess
a
question
or
comment
about
the
process
where
we're
limiting
ourselves
to
the
introduction
of
two
new
items
each
and
then
we're
also
adding
a
second
limitation
of
10
new
projects.
I
personally
feel
uncomfortable
voting
on
which
ones
to
advance
to
an
analysis
stage,
because
we
don't
we
don't
even
have
scopes
for
any
of
these.
Some
of
these
might
be
very
easy.
Some
of
them
might
not
be
feasible
and
I
would
I
think
these
are
good
ideas.
K
My
I
would
prefer
that
we
advance
all
of
our
new
ideas
for
at
least
analysis,
and
then
staff
can
come
back
with
this
is
feasible.
This
is
not
feasible.
This
is
something
that's
easily
Incorporated
in
some
other
item
right.
So
the
Stevens
Creek
Trail
extension,
for
instance,
I'm
fine
as
elevating
that,
but
it
sounds
like
we're
already
doing
that
and
I'm
not
certain.
It
needs
to
be
in
the
work
plan
proper,
so
I
guess
a
request
would
be
that
since
we're
all
ready
subjecting
ourselves
to
so
many
different
constraints
that
we
don't
necessarily
apply.
K
K
Have
two
and
of
course
they
are
wonky
and
boring.
The
first
is
not
actually
I'm,
not
bringing
up
performance
auditing.
This
time,
I've
been
shot
down
twice
and
I.
Don't
need
to
be
shot
down
a
third
time.
The
the
first
is
this
is
this
is
so
exciting.
A
municipal,
Municipal,
Code,
cleanup
and
I
recognize
that
it's
not
something
that's
going
to
be
done
immediately.
K
I'm,
actually
fine,
pre-assigning
it
category
C
priority
and,
just
as
the
staff
would
identify
a
scope,
they
would
come
back
with
sections
of
the
code
that
really
need
to
be
cleaned
up.
There
are
things
there
are
ordinances
that
are
unenforceable.
There
are
inconsistencies,
there
are
ambiguities
and
I.
Think
it's
helpful
to
assign
some
space
for
staff
to
to
you
know
bring
to
the
council's
attention
the
the
the
sections
of
the
code
that
you
know,
Merit
the
greatest
attention
right
and
then
things
that
are
really
low.
Priority
staff
can
consciously
de-prioritize
and
come
to
us.
K
You
know
years
down
the
road.
That's
fine,
but
I
just
want
to
give
some
space
to
a
comprehensive
cleanup,
because
it's
something
that
we
haven't
done
and
who
knows
how
many
years
and
the
other,
since
we're
likely
to
place
a
revenue
measure
on
the
ballot
very
similar,
a
charter
modernization
just
to
give
us
an
opportunity
to
clean
up
sections
of
the
charter
that
are
clearly
inconsistent
with
you
know,
Council
policy
or
you
know
that
are
maybe
archaic
requirements
that
made
sense
as
council
member
or
vice
mayor,
Showalter
explained
to
me.
K
You
know
we
don't
really
need
to
read
things
into
the
record
because
we're
all
literate
now.
So
that's
a
that's
something
that
maybe
doesn't
need
to
be
in
the
charter
but
at
any
rate,
I
think
giving
us
an
opportunity
or
staff
an
opportunity
to
flesh
out
a
scope
we
could
place.
What
I
would
hope
would
be
a
largely
non-controversial
measure
on
the
ballot
that
would
clean
up
the
charter
and
address
any
any
ambiguities
or
inconsistencies
inconsistencies
there.
I
do
have
a
question
for
staff.
K
The
other
thing
that
I
think
we
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
about.
We've
got
a
lot
of
public
input.
Clearly,
staff
capacity
and
staff
retention
or
constraints
that
impede
our
ability
to
do
good
work
and
I
I've
been
wondering.
Is
there
value
in
placing
something
on
the
work
plan
explicitly
to
address
the
challenge
of
Staff
capacity
or
or
or
staff
retention,
or
is
that
something
you're
already
doing
in
some
other
good
governance
work
plan.
F
Thank
you,
council,
member
Rivera's,
that's
a
great
question.
I,
wouldn't
necessarily
say
that
you
would
need
to
put
it
on
your
work
plan.
That
is
something
that
we're
working
on
we're
very
actively
working
on
expanding
our
internal
training
program,
our
coaching.
We
have
launched
our
leadership
program
for
our
employees.
It's
it
started,
I
think,
one
time,
maybe
in
2019
pre-covered,
so
we
were
just
recently
able
to
hold
it
again.
This
year
we
are
really
looking
at
morale,
Employee,
Engagement,
Employee
Appreciation.
K
AL
F
The
most
highest
priorities
so
I,
don't
necessarily
think
you
would
have
to
put
it
on
your
work
plan,
but
just
know
that
it
is
something
that,
as
city
manager
and
the
executive
team,
this
is.
This
is
just
one
of
our
highest
priorities
in
secession.
Planning
is
also
part
of
that.
That's
something
that
HR
is
currently
and
and
has
already
undertaken
a
review
with
every
single
Department
about
our
secession
planning
efforts,
potential
retirements
on
the
horizon
and
how
we're
building
our
pipeline
of
great
staff
so
I.
F
K
You
and
if,
if
staff
decides
by
April
that
actually
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
really
need
some
dedicated
capacity
personally
I
I
would
be
very
comfortable,
adding
an
explicit
item
to
the
work
plan.
If
it
really
helps
us
address
the
capacity
issue,
but
I'll
leave
discretion
so
so
my
two
would
be
minico,
cleanup
and
Charter.
Modernization
I
did
want
to
highlight
something
in
the
staff
responses
to
council
questions,
the
shopping,
cart
abatement
item.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
M
M
M
One
idea
I
had
and
it's
interesting
because
we
do
have
item
F,
which
is
the
planned
existing
housing
element
projects
in
the
housing
element
draft
most
recent
draft
and
I
know
that
it's
actually
really
squishy
right
now,
but
in
the
under
the
Housing
Programs
item
1.12,
which
is
the
maintenance
of
existing
housing
stock,
utilizing
existing
programs
to
ensure
proper
maintenance
of
the
existing
housing
stock
and
support
Rehabilitation
of
housing
developments
now
I'm.
Sorry.
M
This
is
not
in
your
attachments,
it's
in
the
the
most
recent
draft
of
our
housing
elements,
but
that
program
itself
was
mostly
focused
on
csfra
properties
that
that
are
under
our
rent
control
law.
But
there
is
another
item:
2.5
in
the
housing
element,
draft
mediation
and
Fair
Housing
Programs.
That's
broader
and
I'm
kind
of
wondering
if
we
can
and
the
reason
why
I
brought
up
item
1.12
is
because
it
has
an
item
as
a
metric
and
Milestone
that
by
December
31st
2024
to
prepare
additional
Outreach
and
marketing
materials.
M
But
if
we
expand
having
that
timeline
include
the
mediation
and
fair
housing
programs
that
might
be
a
way
to
protect
those
who
don't
have
that
same
protections
under
the
csfra
so
that
they
residents,
who
don't
have
the
protection
of
the
rent
increases.
They
still
know
that
they
have
access
to
mediation,
that
they
have
access
to
fair
housing
and
they
have
access
to
other
state
laws
that
that
might
be
able
to
protect
them
and
I'm.
M
AB
A
I
have
a
question
of
clarification
related
to
that
and
I
I
believe,
and
you
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
that
this
came
to
mind
because
of
the
many
comments
we've
had
on
habitability
and
and
safety
and
garage
underground
garage
doors.
Breaking
that
many
many
people
in
one
of
our
new
high-end
departments
have
been
emailing
us
about
and
I.
A
Also
with,
am
interested
in
some
way
of
addressing
that
and
was
trying
to
think
of
a
project,
but
I'm
wondering
whether
it
would
be
a
project
of
if
we
were
to
do
something
like
that.
A
habitability
project
for
for
for
properties
that,
because
of
Costa
Hawkins,
are
not
on
our
csfra,
whether
that
would
be
a
an
RHA
rental
housing,
whether
that
would
be
their
project
or
a
council
project
or.
F
Both
thank
you,
council,
member
Ramos
and
mayor
I
was
actually
going
to
provide
an
update
in
item
eight
about
the
emails
and
the
concerns
that
we've
received
from
some
of
the
residents
in
these
apartment
complexes.
So
I'll
first
say
that
to
directly
answer
your
question
staff
will
need
to
look
at
it,
so
we
will
need
to
figure
out
what
some
sort
of
vehicle
could
be.
Having
said
that,
a
lot
of
the
concerns
and
issues
that
were
raised
were
from
members
of
as
noted
complexes
that
are
not
covered
under
the
csfra.
F
So
essentially,
these
are
properties
that
are
not
owned
or
funded
or
protected
by
the
city,
and
assuming
that
some
of
these
challenges
are
solely
about
these
private
apartment
complexes,
so,
for
example,
repairs
to
grow
garage
doors,
pools
things
not
being
fixed
in
time.
That
is
the
responsibility
of
that
private
property
owner.
However,
that
does
not
mean
that
City
staff
cannot
get
involved.
So
some
of
the
tenants
that
we've
heard
from
are
in
Prometheus
properties
and
Prometheus
is
aware.
F
F
Staff
has
talked
to
them
about
the
mediation
program
that
we
have
in
the
city
and
that's
available
to
anyone
to
deal
with
landlord
and
tenant
concerns.
So
so
that's
one
thing,
and
maybe
it's
also
just
a
matter
of
the
city,
making
sure
that
we're
communicating
that
to
everyone
and
making
sure
that
everyone
in
the
apartment
complexes
are
aware
of
that.
As
far
as
the
security
aspect
of
it,
that's
something
that
you
all
heard
about
out
today
and
through
emails.
F
The
police
department
is
going
to
be
working
with
the
the
property
management
company
and
already
has,
but
they
will
continue
to
to
address
some
of
these
concerns
that
that
we've
been
hearing
about
so
I
think
I'm,
not
quite
sure
if
it
would
be
an
actual
agenda
item.
That's
what
we'll
need
time
to
flesh
out
but
I
do
want
to
let
you
and
the
public
know
that
this
is
something
that
staff
is
taking
care
of
we're
looking
into
it.
F
A
M
Yeah
I
guess
I
guess
if
that's
the
case
and
and
it's
being
handled
I
guess
we
can
just
have
a
broaden.
How
are
we
protecting
those
who
are
not
covered
by
our
by
RCS
fra
and
I?
Guess
that
will
that's
a
very
proud
project,
but
it's
not
within
the
purview
of
the
rhc
as
it
is
because
they
cannot
touch
units
that
are
not
covered
by
the
csfra.
F
Thank
you,
councilmember
Ramos
I
would
also
note
that
staff
do
not
work
on
issues
that
are
not
covered
by
the
csfra,
because
there's
also
a
parameters
around
the
work
that
the
csfra
and
staff
and
those
that
help
the
rhc
can
do.
I
mean
there's
there's
a
little
bit
of
gray,
but
we
would
have
to
look
at
that
too.
M
J
Great
thanks:
I
only
have
one
item
and
I
was
going
to
ask
staff
if
this
is
actually
a
project
or
maybe
just
something
to
further
look
into,
which
is
today.
The
Santa
Clara
County
Board
of
Supervisors
office
of
Children
and
Families
policy
adopted
an
allocation
of
20
million
dollars
from
their
arpa
funds
related
to
early
childhood
education,
as
well
as
child
care.
J
So
15
million
will
go
towards
infrastructure
grants
for
child
care
so
that
it
includes
reopening
Child,
Care
Home
Centers
providers
that
had
to
close
because
of
the
pandemic
and
renovation
for
facilities
and
family
child
care.
Homes
and
I
know
that
over
the
course
of
particularly
properties
that
are
City
owned,
we
had
looked
at
trying
to
encourage
Child
Care
Centers
I
know
that
it
came
up
in
conversations
that
I
had
with
the
economic
vitality
consultant
is
trying
to
come
up
with
alternate
uses
and
I
think
just
in
the
conversations
I've
had
with
the
neighbors
and
residents.
J
It's
something
that's
a
need,
so
cities
will
be
eligible
for
these
grants
and
I
would
love
for
the
city
of
Mountain
View
to
be
able
to
maybe
tackle
this
issue
for
our
residents
and
our
community
via
this
grant
process.
So
I
don't
know
if
it's
necessarily
a
work
plan
project
item
but
I
just
wanted
to
Daylight
it
in
this
setting,
so
that
staff
could
and
and
thankful
that
stuff
will
analyze
it.
So
we
could
figure
out
if,
if
that's
where
it
should
live
or
not,
but
talking
about
you
know
funding.
A
A
And
then,
as
for
mine,
one
of
them
that
I
was
going
to
bring
up
may
be
the
same
or
similar
to
something
that
the
vice
mayor
brought
up.
This
is
the
holistic
review
of
parking
regulations
I'm
thinking
of
it
not
I
I.
Imagine
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
what
I'm
thinking
of
is
not
a
separate
project
from
yours
that
it's
the
same
one
or
that
there's
a
enough
overlap,
that
it
can
be
one
project,
I'm
thinking
we.
A
We
have
recently
spoken
about
the
72-hour
rule,
but
what
I'm
thinking
of
is
one
one
of
the
things
that,
in
in
talking
that
over
came
up
was
the
fact
that
there's
some
fairly
dramatic
changes
in
parking
in
general
in
terms
of
parking
minimums
being
that
we
don't
set
parking
minimums
in
many
places,
and
that
will
be
an
increasing
factor.
I
think
in
multiple
places
and
I
think
we
have
to
be
proactive
and
make
sure
that
we're
that
our
public
streets
are
for
public
uses.
A
H
H
Could
help
us
is,
is
some
metrics
about
how
these
things
work?
How
we
see
parking
changing
over
time-
and
you
know
we
might-
we
might
want
to
be
doing
some
counts.
You
know
of
how
many
cars
are
on
streets
various
places,
but
yes,
no
I,
think
we're
talking
about
exactly
the
same
thing
is:
is
a
holistic
review
of
of
really
how
we
use
that
public
space
that
is
our
streets
for
parking
and
and
how
do
we?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
want
to
control
it?
Yeah.
A
So
I
think
about
the
same
project.
I
won't
bring
up
an
additional
one.
I
would,
as
a
part
of
that,
though,
I
might
like
to
see
some
sort
of
post-occupancy
evaluation
when
we
have
reduced
parking
on
apartments.
You
know:
how
is
that
working
out?
How
do
Neighbors,
you
know,
how
is
it
working
out
with
neighbors?
Are
our
streets
becoming
parking
lots
that
we
can't
change
to
bike
Lanes
or
slow
streets
or
whatever,
or
is
it
really
working
out?
Well.
A
Let's
say,
I
was
going
to
also
ask
about
something
related
to
the
the
Prometheus
projects,
but
that's
been
brought
up
and
I
guess
the
last
one
I
will
bring
up
a
storefront
activation,
a
comprehensive
storefront
activation
project,
which
I
described
before
as
one
of
the
most
effective
things
I've
seen
to
cut
down
on
vacancies
and
make
you
know,
make
areas
like
our
downtown
and
Village
centers,
more
vibrant,
so
and
then
council,
member
matichek,
you
brought
up
one.
Did
you
say
you
were
going
to
bring
up
a
second
one
or
I?
A
A
P
K
I'll
be
quick.
Thank
you.
I
have
a
question
about
the
the
parking
evaluation
or
review
because
I'm
a
little
confused
it
I
initially
thought
we
were
talking
about
parking
enforcement
and
parking
compliance.
So
what
is
what
does
the
72r
parking
ordinance
do
and
Achieve,
but
it
sounded
like
we're
talking
more
about
parking
standards
right.
So
when
there
are
when
there's
new
development,
you
know
that
that's
what
I!
That's
what
it
sounded
like
the
mayor
was
talking
about,
but
I
think
I'm
confused
I.
H
Think
we're
talking
about
both
I
think
we're
talking
about
parking,
we're
looking
at
our
parking
regulations
and
then
then
we,
you
know
over
time.
We
will
want
to
be
seeing
well,
how
are
those
regulations
working
and
how
are
they
working
within
changes
that
we've
had
like
we're?
We
have
changes
in
parking
minimums
and
after
some
of
those
buildings
are
built,
you
know
we
want
to
see
well
what
happens
in
those
neighborhoods?
Does
it
work?
Are
our
parking
regulations
still
adequate
or
do
we
need
to
revisit
them
again?.
K
While
I
I
do
support
evaluating
parking
standards,
I
I
I
feel,
like
that's
a
very
different
category,
from
what
do
we
do
about
the
guy
who's
operating
the
business
and
using
public
right-of-way
to
store
Vehicles
right
where
the
72r,
our
parking
regulation
really
doesn't
address
that
or
like
you
and
I
had
talked
about.
You
know
somebody
who's,
maybe
an
inhabited
vehicle.
Where
there's
you
know,
encroachment
onto
the
street
right
the
storage
of
like
a
a
generator
right.
K
H
L
I,
don't
I
don't
really
have
comment
about
bringing
gatekeeper
back
this
year.
My
comment
had
more
to
do
with
the
type
of
projects
that
we
should
see
or
allow
in
the
gatekeeper
or
consideration.
I.
Think
that
one
thing
I
think
with
the
gatekeeper
that
can
work
or
does
work
or
does
work
can
work.
Maybe
we
have
to
as
council
members
we
have
to
be
more
clear
on
is
what
kind
of
projects
we
want
to
see
so
that
we
already
have
that
discretion.
The
whole
point
of
gatekeeper
being
right.
L
Think
that
also
the
the
we've
jumped
to
also
the
types
of
buildings
so
office
has
been
definitely
the
most
popular
or
abundant
in
this
last
10
15
years
right
because
of
the
type
of
business
you
know
having
to
do
with
software
and
whatnot,
but
I
guess,
as
I've
been
looking
at.
What's
the
next
Frontier,
we
talk
about
life
science.
L
So
they
affect
the
jobs,
housing
ratio
differently
and
so
I
think
it's
important
for
our
economic
vitality
and
development
to
continue
to
allow
commercial
development
through
gatekeeper
process
and
so
looking
into
the
future
I.
Don't
think
we
should
limit
to
just
residential
or
mixed-use
projects.
I
think
we
should
look
at
them
all,
and
we
can
you
know,
do
the
whatever
you
want
to
call
beauty
contest
being
mindful
of
the
community
benefit
piece,
and
you
know
I,
think
about
the
public
storage
project
right,
and
that
was
one
I
mean
it's.
The
intensity
is
not
that
intense.
L
So
it's
okay,
but
it's
fine,
but
I
think
what
for
me
convinced
you
know
me
to
support.
It
was
that
they
were
going
to
offer
100
units
of
affordable
housing.
So
I
don't
want
us
to
limit
ourselves
and
lose
opportunities
like
that.
So
that's
what
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
we
leave
it
open
for
all
types
and
then
we
can
decide
like.
Maybe
we
don't
want
any
more
office
and
that's
fine,
but
you
know,
let's
look
at
other
commercial
buildings
that
we
may
need
for
a
future,
the
next
Frontier
or
next
next
technology.
L
H
Well,
along
those
lines,
I
think
another
thing
with
gatekeeper
that
we
would
I
would
like
to
be
party
evaluation
is
figuring
out
a
way
that
isn't
so
staff
intensive
to
bring
those
projects
forward.
You
know
I
I,
don't
think
that
we
have
to
have
a
completely
detailed
project
in
order
to
say
this
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
think
is
worth
our
staff
working
on
or
not.
H
So
that's
one
of
the
things
I
I
hope
can
be
included
in
the
reevaluation,
because
clearly,
staff
resources
are
a
big
problem
and
we
don't
and-
and
that's
why?
One
of
the
reasons
we
instituted
that-
and
we
don't
want
to
make
that
worse.
So
I
I
hope
that
there
would
be
a
way
to
think
about
sort
of
an
early
evaluation.
H
I
K
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
agree
with
my
colleagues
I.
Think,
council,
member
Robbie
kogo
brings
up
a
good
example
in
the
public
storage
Alta
Housing
Partnership,
which
would
not
meet
the
standard
that
is
in
the
staff
recommendation.
So
I
agree
that
I
think
the
the
more
interesting
parameter
to
me
is
the
the
value
of
the
community
benefit.
That's
much
more
important,
or
even
you
know,
does
it
does
it
help
us
achieve
a
defined,
Community
or
Council
goal
of
a
development
proposal
helps
us
Advance,
something
that's
important
to
us.
That's
more
important
than
does
it.
K
Have
you
know
a
two-thirds,
you
know
residential
square
footage
component,
so
so
I'm
comfortable
with
with
what
all
of
my
colleagues
have
proposed
and
and
open
to
reviewing
gatekeeper
proposals
this
year
and
then
to
respond
to
what
council
vice
mayor,
Showalter
had
said:
I
I,
don't
know
if
we
necessarily
want
to
do
it
this
way.
But
if
we
are
thinking
about,
as
in
the
context
of
the
work
plan,
we
have
the
review
of
the
gatekeeper
process
item.
J
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
think
that
what
I
would
propose
then
hearing
all
of
my
colleagues
and
then
I'll
add
my
comments
is
for
the
staff
recommendation.
Maybe
just
it's
to
hear
the
gatekeeper
requests
in
quarter
four
of
2023
and
then
remove
the
and
limit
the
requests
portion.
I.
Think
just
you
know,
hear
gatekeeper.
Requests
in
in
quarter.
Four
is
is
fine
with
me
and
then
just
a
couple
comments.
J
I
had
a
nice
history
lesson
with
a
former
council
member
who
was
who
was
part
of
the
council
in
the
1990s
when
the
gatekeeper
process
began
and
I
think
my
understanding
of
the
historical
context
was:
how
do
we
evaluate
a
project
that
is
outside
of
our
current
General
plan
and
precise
plans?
So
to
me,
I
I
really
don't
feel
it's
accurate
to
say
it's
a
beauty
contest,
because
it's
not
to
me
what
it
looks
like
to
me
it's.
J
The
precise
plans
we
many
of
us
have
been
on
the
Planning
Commission,
where
you
know
we
worked
on
on
both
and
to
me
it's
about
the
above
and
beyond
the
parameters
with
which
we
already
have
set
out
the
roadmap
of
what
we'd
like
the
city,
to
look
like
so
I,
just
kind
of
wanted
to
at
least
share
to
me.
The
semantics
of
it
are
important.
You
know
it
to
me:
it's
you
know
it's
not
the
outside.
It's
the
inside
right,
so
I
think.
A
I
think
I'm,
the
only
one
who
is
a
little
more
attracted
to
the
staff
proposal
than
than
the
rest
of
my
colleagues
I,
do
like
the
emphasis
I
would
like
to
tell
developers
early
and
often
with
emphasis
on
early.
What
we're
looking
for
and
I
do
feel
that
we
need
housing
above
all
else
and
I
would
personally
I
know.
Other
people
may
not
agree
with
me.
I
would
like
to
give
that
signal
in
some
way
that
they're
I
guess
the
other
piece
of
it
is
that
I'm
wondering
are.
A
Is
that
something
that
the
rest
of
my
colleagues
feel
and
would
be?
We
be
miscommunicating
if
we
didn't,
if
we
didn't
specify
that
there's
some
kind
of
preference
for
for
housing,
and
now
that
I've
asked
that
question
I'll
say:
maybe
it's
because
I
haven't
been
through
the
gatekeeper
process
before
so
maybe
it's
that
I
don't
exactly
either
on
EPC
or
Council
I've!
Never
done
it.
So
I
guess
I
should
ask
a
question:
is
there
a
way
of
spelling
out
what
our
preferences
are?
As
we
begin
the
process?
AL
A
F
Mayor
so
when
this
comes
to
you
all,
and
it
could
very
potentially
be
Porter
four,
you
all
will
have
the
ability
to
prioritize
the
gatekeeper
projects
because
they
are
outside
of
the
general
plan
or
outside
of
any
precise
plans.
You
can
choose
whether
you
want
to
hear
them
whether
they
are
in
different
categories,
whether
you
like
all
of
them,
but
you,
like
you,
know
one
or
two
more
than
others
and
I
would
just
note
that
these
projects
historically
often
take
longer
just
because
they
are.
They
have
typically
been
more
involved.
F
Like
the
example
that
council
member
Abe
Koka
raised
has
taken
a
long
time.
I
have
never
seen
a
process,
and
this
is
you
know
two
rounds
of
me
working
for
the
city
of
Mountain
View.
So
we
will
just
need
to
take
it
back
and
and
look
at
what
the
process
was
and
what
it
could
be
now
to
be
better
for
the
future.
But
you
all
will
have
the
ability
to
prioritize
which
project
you
like
better
than
others.
So.
A
I
know
that
if
we
were,
if
we
were
to
do
this
in
Q4,
that
a
bunch
of
projects
could
be
submitted-
and
we
could
all
sit
here
and
say
you
know
I
like
this
one
better
than
that
one
and
that
one
no
way
and
so
forth.
What
I'm
saying
is:
is
there
some
way
if
we
do
have
preferences,
and
maybe
we
don't?
But
if
we
do
have
preferences,
is
there
some
way
to
tell
the
developers
that
ahead
of
time
so
that
they
don't
do
work
on
pointless
projects.
L
Actually
ties
back
to
our
earlier
work
plan
items
and
the
one
I
put
up
was
exactly
that.
The
gatekeeper
you
know,
I
think
we
do
need
to
have
that
discussion
about
what
we
want
to
see.
It's
been
done,
informally
in
the
past,
where
developers
will
meet
with
all
of
us
right
and
ask
us
well
what
do
you
want?
Community
benefit
wise,
but
I
think
we
could
be
clearer,
and
that
would
that's
really
one
of
the
criteria.
L
I
guess
that
I
was
referencing,
you
know
what
do
we
want
to
base
it
on
and
when
I'm
at
booting
contest,
I
didn't
mean
just
what
it
looks
like
outside
I
meant
the
whole
thing.
The
whole
package
I
just
used
that
term
because
it's
been
used
in
the
past,
but
you
know
it's
like
you
know
what
looks
best
for
the
community
inside
and
out
it's
the
whole
package,
but
the
real
key
to
this
is
because
it
is
outside
the
general
plan.
L
You
know
size
wise,
so
I
would
limit
it
by
size
as
well,
so
I
just
want
I
think
we
really
need
to
have
that
discussion
first
before
we
see
the
next
set
of
gatekeeper
projects.
So
that's
why
I
do
think
that
item
on
the
work
plan,
if
it
has
to
go
on
there
needs
to
happen
before
we
say
yes
to
any
more
gatekeeper
projects,
so
we
I,
don't
even
know
if,
like
we
should
have,
we
should
wait
until
to
adopt
it
in
June.
AQ
Yeah
I
was
just
gonna
add,
as
somebody
who's
been
through
many
Gatekeepers,
so
just
a
little
context.
It
has
been
many
years
since
we've
done
it.
So
what
happens
with
gearing
up
to
going
into
a
gatekeeper
request?
Public
hearing
is
essentially
we
put
out
a
call
for
applications.
Folks
do
submit
you
know
an
application
form
fee.
AQ
They
provide
a
very
preliminary
set
of
plans,
usually
just
sort
of
basic
site
plan
and
some
you
know,
building
elevations
and
then
a
letter
describing
their
objective
and
their
purpose
and
intent
and
often
their
Community
benefit
and
then
really.
We
summarize
all
the
ones
that
we've
received
and
explain
what
legislative
changes
or
other
things
would
be
required
to
actually
Implement
what
they're
proposing.
AQ
AQ
Council
member
Abby
Koga
brings
up
is
he
has
a
different
task
really
at
hand
of
of
looking
at
our
gatekeeper
requirements
right
now,
the
gatekeeper
requires
a
minimum
of
two
acres
in
size
and
we
do
have
some
exceptions
to
that
and
I
know
as
part
of
the
housing
element.
There's
also
a
work
plan
item
for
looking
at
gatekeeper
process
as
well.
F
So
what
may
be
helpful
is
to
get
Council
Direction
on
whether
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
open
that
call
for
gatekeeper
projects
this
year
or
you
would
rather
determine
what
the
process
is
going
to
be
first,
because
I
don't
think
it's
realistic
to
do
probably
both
before
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
It's
a
lot
of
Staff
work.
A
H
Well,
it
seems
like,
since
we're
all
rather
Rusty
on
what
is
what
is
the
gatekeeper
process?
I'm
wondering?
Is
there
a
document
that
describes
it?
Is
there
like
a
memo
that
says
this?
Is
this?
Is
the
gatekeeper
process
I
certainly
haven't
seen
it
in
a
long
long
time?
If
effort
Lindsay,
is
there
such
a
memo.
AQ
H
If,
if
the,
if
our
desire
is
to
use
the
criteria
or
change
them
some,
what
really
hasn't
worked
is
the
time
frame
I
mean
we
haven't
had
one
of
these
in
what
three
years
five
years
three
years,
I
think
at
least
so
that's
particularly
bad,
so
I
I
would
think
if
we
start
out
with
a
memo.
That
would
be
a
really
good
first
step.
A
J
I
just
had
a
question
so
to
to
staff,
since,
given
all
of
this
discussion
from
Council
I'm
trying
to
channel
my
my
best
Chris
Clark
here
could
could
we
take
the
pause
on
the
gatekeeper
discussion,
we
could
get
the
memo
from
staff
and
then
on
the
April
24th.
We
could
have
had
the
memo
and
then
we
could
talk
about
it.
Having
seen
the
memo,
We
could
decide
which
path
we
want
to
go.
L
I
think
that's
fine
I
just
you
know
I'm
concerned
about
about
the
time.
So
if
staff
thinks
we
can
wait
until
April
get
the
memo
wait
until
April
to
decide-
and
you
know
if
we
decide
to
look
at
the
process,
I
would
like
to
know
then,
when
we
could
actually
see
Gatekeepers
in
my
mind,
having
done
Gatekeepers
like
the
whole
point
of
gatekeeper
is
is
to
basically
determine
you
know
whether
a
Project's
worth
letting
it
through
to
the
next
to
put
staff
time
into
it.
L
L
You
know
what
and
even
get
a
tutorial
on
how
the
gatekeeper
has
worked,
and
then
we
can
talk
about
what
has
worked
and
what
hasn't
worked
and
what
we
want
to
see
going
forward
and
if
we
want
to
add
any
criteria,
so
I
guess
I
do
not
again-
and
you
know
maybe
because
I'd
like
to
hear
from
RT
but
I-
don't
Envision
this
being
a
huge
effort,
but
you
know
I
could
be
wrong.
So
I
guess
I
would
like
to
hear
from
staff.
A
Okay,
so
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
past
several
comments
is
that
the
the
project
that
council
member
Abe
Koga
brought
forward
earlier
of
overhauling
the
gatekeeper
when
this
all
comes
back
that
comes
back
along
with
the
possibility
of
when
we
could
possibly
schedule
one
that
all
comes
back
to
us
at
the
same
time,
and
if
that
is
okay,
I
see
a
couple
other
comments.
But
yes,.
F
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
member
Abe
Koga,
so
the
timing
was
such
that
I
believe
we
were
going
to
issue
the
call
for
proposals
next
month
in
March
tomorrow.
I
guess
is
March
1st,
so
in
March.
So
that's
why
I
was
saying
that
just
the
the
timing
would
be
sped
up
because
I'm
also
hearing
the
council
is
interested
in
making
some
changes
to
the
parameters
and
the
criteria.
F
So
if
you're,
okay,
with
how
things
are
now,
we
were
going
to
move
forward
in
March
to
then
have
Gatekeepers
come
to
you
all
in
the
fall,
and
we
can
still
do
that
and
include
all
The
Gatekeepers,
not
just
housing,
but
if
you're
really
wanting
to
make
changes
to
the
criteria,
we
would
need
to
do
that.
First
before
we
issue
the
call
for
proposals,
that's
what
I
was
referring
to.
So
it's
kind
of
two
separate
timing
items.
I
L
F
K
AO
AR
We
can
hear
you,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
city
manager
and
mayor.
If
I
may
address
this,
as
the
city
manager
said,
these
are
two
separate
items
the
council
can
tonight
or
in
April,
make
a
decision
on
hearing
all
gatekeeper
requests
in
the
fall.
Typically,
it
takes
us
about
six
months
because
it
takes
about
three
months
for
people
to
put
their
projects
together.
It
takes
us
one
month
to
review.
AR
A
month
of
you
know,
write
the
staff
report,
review
and
publish
it,
and
that
brings
us
probably
to
a
fall
review
where
Council
can
look
at
everything
separately
as
part
of
the
housing
element.
We
will
be
recommending
in
our
latest
draft
that
is
to
come
out
revising
the
gatekeeper
process,
specifically
for
residential
projects
and
looking
at
exemptions,
and
so
before
the
council
makes
a
decision
on
making
changes
to
that.
AR
We
would
request
that
we
go
through
the
housing
element,
get
hcd
approval
and
then
it
can
become
an
implementation
item,
at
which
point
the
council
can
look
at
other
non-residential
criteria
as
well.
So
the
review
of
the
gatekeeper
process
and
the
revision
of
the
ordinance
can
become
an
implementation
of
the
housing
element.
Project
and
I
would
recommend
that
we
wait
until
we
get
our
housing
element
certified
before
we
move
on
that,
but
that
doesn't
preclude
the
council
from
hearing
all
the
gatekeeper
items
in
the
fall.
A
So
I'm
trying
to
see
how
that
fits
in
with
where
I
thought
we
were
going
I'm
hearing
that
we
could
see,
we
could
hear
all
of
them
in
the
fall
and
that
we
could
also
have
a
study
session
on
on
what
we
want
the
gatekeeper
process
to
be,
and
that
that,
when
this,
when
we
bring
all
this
back,
the
work
plan
back,
all
of
that
could
be
scheduled,
am
I.
Yeah.
AR
AR
Confirm
mayor
yes,
so
for
tonight
you
can
decide
you
want
to
hear
all
the
gatekeeper
projects
for
this
upcoming
year
and
then,
as
part
of
the
housing
element,
we're
going
to
be
revamping
the
gatekeeper
process
for
residential
projects,
including
looking
at
exemptions
and
as
part
of
that
the
council
can
also
look
at
other
items.
So
it's
going
to
become
a
housing
element,
implementation
item,
just
the
review
of
gatekeeper
items
of
the
future
and
so
I'm
requesting
that
we
do
that
as
part
of
that
project,
and
that
will
include
a
study
session.
AR
A
Okay,
so
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong,
we
would
what
people
are
talking
about.
Now
is
hearing
the
hearing
gatekeeper
projects
in
quarter
four,
but
also
do
having
a
study
session
on
what
the
gatekeeper
process
should
be
in
the
future
at
some
point
as
part
of
the
housing
element,
and
it
may
have
other
aspects
as
well
as
far
as
I
can
tell.
AR
Right
and
both
of
those
can
happen
in
in
I
would
say,
probably
closer
to
Q4
of
this
year,
given
that
we
are
trying
to
gear
up
for
a
whole
bunch
of
other
housing
element
implementation
items.
So
this
year
the
council
can
hear
everything
and
decide
which
ones
they
want
to
board
and
then
we'll
have
a
study
session
on
the
process
separately.
F
Mayor
so
if
council
is
comfortable,
I
think
we
can
still
get
you
all
the
memo
within
the
next
month
so
that
you
can
talk
about
this
in
April
and
we
now
we
know
it's
a
six-month
time
frame
for
staff
to
basically
release
the
our
the
call
for
proposals.
Do
the
work,
the
analysis
and
then
bring
it
back.
So
if
you
all
are
comfortable
with
at
least
providing
the
memo
to
you
all
before
April,
you
can
at
least
see
what
the
parameters
are
now
and
then,
if
you're
comfortable
moving
forward
with
the
parameters.
F
Now,
then
we
can
just
issue
the
call
for
proposals
shortly
after
that
which
is
going
to
put
us
more
towards
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
If
it,
if
it's
not
necessarily
about
the
calendar
year,
we
can
then
still
schedule
a
study
session.
If
you
all
want
to
change
things,
and
then
we
can
issue
the
the
call
for
proposals
right
after
that,
so
it
may
not
be
all
in
this
calendar
year,
but
they
can
be
in
in
fairly
quick
secession
if
you
do
want
to
make
changes.
A
F
So
I
would
suggest
that
you
all
have
a
discussion
at
the
April
25th
meeting
about
what
you
want
to
do
with
Gatekeepers.
You
may
get
the
memo
and,
if
you're
comfortable
with
the
current
rules
and
parameters,
then
we
can
open
up
the
proposals
at
that
point,
it
will
just
be
pushed
back
a
little
bit
further.
It
won't
come
to
you
early
fall.
It
may
come
to
you
later
later
fall
later
this
calendar
year
and
then,
if
you
feel
like
no,
we
can't
live
with
these
these
criteria.
We
really
want
to
change
it.
F
A
H
A
F
Okay,
I
realized
the
late
hour
is
upon
us,
so
I
think
we
will
try
and
move
through
this
presentation
rather
quickly.
So
I'm
very
thankful
to
be
here
with
you
all
tonight,
with
our
new
finance
and
administrative
Services,
director
Derek
rampone,
and
also
with
our
Assistant
Director
of
Finance
administrative
Services,
Grace
sang.
So
we
will
be
presenting
to
you
the
mid-year
budget
report
next
slide.
So
I
just
briefly
wanted
to
give
an
overview
of
where
we're
at.
F
Just
kind
of
kind
of
a
picture
lay
of
the
land,
so,
as
we've
heard
and
we've
been
talking
about,
the
city
is
back
to
business.
This
didn't
just
start:
we've
been
back
to
business
for
quite
some
time.
The
city
has
returned
most
of
our
staff
working
quite
some
time
ago.
Well,
over
a
year
year
and
a
half
ago,
we
actually
were
doing
a
lot
of
stuff
in
person.
F
Well
before
many
other
cities
were
just
in
terms
of
our
our
operation
bless
you
in
our
service
to
the
community
city,
as
we
also
have
heard,
the
state
of
emergency
ended
today.
So
this
is
something
that
I
think
is.
Is
a
monkey
off
of
all
of
our
backs,
but
really
just
solidifies,
that
back
to
business
approach
that
we're
taking
in
terms
of
where
we're
at
economically
the
the
changing
nature
and
the
Paradigm
of
remote
work
is
not
only
affecting
us
internally,
but
I.
F
Think
we've
we've
touched
a
little
bit
on
how
it's
also
affecting
our
private
sector
companies.
So
that
is
an
uncertainty
that
does
kind
of
hang
over
where
we're
at
with
our
budget,
because,
as
we
have
less
people
here
in
Mountain,
View
or
working
on
site
it
it
can
affect.
Certainly
our
finances.
Our
business
license
tax
revenue,
which
I
I
mentioned
earlier,
but
all
in
all
the
economy
is
continuing
to
recover
fairly
well
in
our
region.
Right
now,
we
are
at
what
is
considered
full
employment.
F
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
mentioned
was
that
the
city
of
Mountain,
View
historically,
has
a
very
sound
approach
to
how
we
budget
and
how
we
handle
our
finances.
Our
budget
principles
are
really
rooted
in
the
fact
that
we
we
budget
with
ongoing
revenues
for
ongoing
expenses.
We
only
use
one-time
ex
revenues
for
one-time
expenses,
which
we
call
limited
period
items
we
adopt
structurally
balanced
budgets
every
year,
and
that
is
when
your
revenues
and
your
expenses
match.
F
We
make
sure
that
we
are
prioritizing
paying
down
our
long-term
liabilities,
which
the
biggest
one
are.
Is
our
purse
our
pension
liabilities,
and
this
is
something
that
cities
all
across
the
state
grapple
with,
and
we
will
have
more
of
a
discussion
about
our
pension
liabilities
when
we
have
our
our
budget
or
the
recommended
budget
discussion.
But
pers
has
not
made
their
investment
return
assumptions
the
past
several
Cycles.
This
is
impacting
cities,
it
is
impacting
us.
F
Staff
is
recommending
putting
funding
and
reserves
we
right
now
we
have
a
healthy
operating
balance
and
we
are
recommending
setting
aside
around
11
million
dollars
in
our
reserves,
and
this
again
is
historically
what
we
do
to
just
really
maintain
fiscal
sustainability
for
the
city
and
then
the
next
slide
is
really
just
recognizing
that
this
is.
This
is
a
partnership
between
both
Council
staff
and
the
community
that
we
really
take
this
seriously.
F
We
we
win
Awards
annually
for
how
we
budget,
not
just
our
budget
document,
but
also
our
end
of
the
year
annual
reports,
our
procurement
practices.
This
is
something
that
we
take
very
seriously
along
with
that
is
our
AAA
credit
rating,
that
not
very
many
cities
can
can
boast
about,
and
the
fact
that
we
do
all
this
taken
at
the
same
time
with
making
sure
that
we
are
funding
our
reserves
and
paying
down
our
our
unfunded
liabilities.
This
really
means
that
we
also
consistently
receive
clean
audits.
F
The
way
we
do
things
our
processes,
our
procedures,
so
I,
just
kind
of
wanted
to
start
off
this
presentation
for
Council
and
the
community
with
with
that
Foundation
to
know
that
we
are
at
least
right
now
now
it
appears
that
that
we
are
on
Solid,
Ground
and
stable
ground.
So
it's
both
how
things
are
going
right
now
and
also
the
history
of
how
we
do
things
here
in
Mountain
View.
AT
Thank
you,
city
manager,
McCarthy
good
evening,
Mary
Hicks,
vice
mayor,
show
Welter
and
council
members
staff
and
public
as
Kimber
stated
I'm.
Your
new
finance
and
administrative
Services
director
Derek
rampone
with
me
in
person
tonight,
is
great
Zhang
assistant
director
of
the
department,
and
we
also
have
two
of
the
budget
team
members
that
are
available
online
for
support
in
case.
We
need
to
turn
to
them,
so
real,
quick,
I
just
wanted
to
start
off
by
thanking
Grace
and
the
budget
team
for
putting
this
report
together.
AT
AT
You
know
a
lot
of
that's
in
the
news
is
high
inflation
and
the
FEDS
continue
to
attempt
to
bring
inflation
under
control,
and
it's
expected
that
the
feds
will
rage,
raise
interest
rates
a
few
more
times
to
help
lower
inflation.
But,
however,
in
the
meantime,
consumers
are
still
spending
the
most
recent
reports
from
the
Commerce
department
for
January
show
that
personal
spending
Rose
1.8
percent,
so
spending
is
still
up,
so
that
is
not
helping
with
the
inflation.
AT
The
continued
supply
and
demand
imbalance
has
not
also
not
been
helping
ease
inflation,
as
we
all
know,
and
then
the
upward
pressure
on
labor
costs,
as
as
businesses,
compete
for
workers
and
increase
their
wages
to
close
the
labor
Gap,
also
not
helping
inflation.
So
on
top
of
this,
the
nation
is
expected
to
reach
its
debt
limit.
This
summer,
economic
uncertainty
will
grow
as
as
we
get
closer
to
the
date
that
the
treasury
may
run
out
of
cash.
AT
It's
obviously
the
hope
and
and
belief
that
a
deal
will
be
reached
to
raise
the
limit
before
the
treasury
runs
out
of
cash,
but
as
it
gets
closer,
you
tend
to
see
some
economic
uncertainty
and
some
fluctuations
now
Switching
gears
real
quickly
to
the
state
budget.
The
last
month,
Governor
Newsome
released
his
23-24
proposed
budget,
which
projects
a
22
million
or
22
billion
shortfall.
AL
AT
City
manager,
McCarthy
stated
it.
The
local
economy
continues
to
experience
a
rebound
from
the
pandemic,
specifically
here
in
Mountain
View.
In
regards
to
the
tot
Transit
occupancy
tax
sales
tax
and
investment
in
rental
income.
Tot
is
actually
really
shining
expected
to
increase
from
4.4
Million
last
year
to
almost
10
million
dollars
this
year,
so
it's
over
100
percent
increase.
AT
Obviously
this
is
a
result
of
additional
hotels
coming
online,
but
also
an
increase
in
occupancy
rates
that
we're
seeing
and
finally,
just
in
you
know,
employment
rate,
it's
around
1.6
percent
locally,
it's
an
ultra
low
rate,
considered
full
employment.
So,
at
this
point
in
time
and
and
due
to
some
of
the
uncertainty
and
the
recently
announced
layoffs
of
Corporations,
the
employment
rate
is
is
not
expected
to
stay
at
this
low
rate
and
we'll
probably
see
a
small
rise.
AT
Okay.
The
next
slide
is
the
our
forecast
for
this
fiscal
year.
22-23.
As
you
can
see,
it's
a
comparison
of
what
we're
estimating
for
this
fiscal
year
compared
to
the
actual
amounts
from
the
prior
fiscal
year
and
then
the
current
budget
for
this
fiscal
year
we
are
expecting
when
we
adopted
the
budget.
AT
We
expected
a
3.8
million
dollar
operating
balance
and
now
we're
expecting
a
7.2
million
dollar
operating
balance
and
I'll
provide
some
further
detail
on
this
fiscal
Year's
estimated
results
a
little
bit
later
in
the
presentation,
specifically
speaking
about
revenues
for
this
fiscal
year.
We're
expecting
revenues
to
mostly
be
the
same
or
higher
than
the
adopted
budget.
As
you
can
see
in
this
chart,
the
largest
increase
are
from
sales
tax
and
Transit
occupancy
tax.
AT
Turning
to
expenditures
for
this
fiscal
year,
as
you
can
see
on
this
chart,
a
majority
of
the
general
operating
fund
costs
are
salaries
and
benefits,
as
the
city
continues
to
experience
vacancies
in
retirements.
These
are
the
largest
drivers
of
our
expenditure
savings.
To
put
it
into
context,
there
were
138
vacancy
events
in
calendar
year,
2022,
which
is
a
33
percent
increase
from
2021
and
20
percent
of
those
vacancies
were
from
retirements.
AT
AT
AT
AT
Here's
a
breakdown
of
our
recommended
mid-year
adjustments
for
reserves
with
so
with
the
obviously,
as
a
city
manager,
McCarthy
stated
earlier,
with
the
amount
of
future
economic
uncertainty
and
with
the
positive
balance
expected
in
the
general
operating
fund
for
2223
staff
is
recommending
transferring
to
reserves
approximately
11
million
dollars.
Four
million
of
that
will
go
forward
to
CIP
for
critical
projects.
3
million
to
The
Spar
account
and
then
two
million
for
unfunded
liability
payment
to
Calpers
to
pay
down
that
liability.
AT
I
do
want
to
just
highlight
briefly
highlight
the
budget
adjustments
that
are
that
tackle
the
council
priority
to
enhance
downtown
vitality
and
ramp
up
resources
for
the
interim
Castro
Street
Pedestrian
Mall.
So
staff
is
currently
recommending
an
increase
of
3.25
at
full-time
equivalent
employees
to
help
maintain
and
manage
The
Pedestrian
Mall,
as
well
as
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
supplies
and
services
that
are
for
pressure,
washing
lighting,
landscaping
and
Banners.
And
in
addition
to
that,
another
13
000
for
live
entertainment
and
other
new
activities.
AT
AT
AT
I,
just
briefly
want
to
touch
on
some
assumptions
and
risks
and
unknowns.
You
know
nobody
has
a
crystal
ball.
We
we're
using
current
data
with
input
from
economists
and
to
build
our
forecast,
as
well
as
historical
Trend
data
that
we
have.
You
can
see
our
assumptions
on
this
slide
overall
Revenue
we're
expecting
to
revert
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels
as
we're
already
seeing.
Obviously
we
are
forecasting
business
license.
AT
Revenue
to
cool
15
due
to
you
know,
announced
corporate
layoffs
tot,
as
we
stated
earlier,
is
probably
hitting
a
peak,
but
we
expect
it
to
be
status
quo
in
2324
and
then
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
unknowns
at
this
point.
Some
some
risks
that
we've
identified
are
the
severity
and
timing
of
a
possible
recession,
a
Slowdown.
AT
How
long
it
will
high
inflation
last
and
then
also
in
the
increased
conflicts
internationally
that
could
impact
the
economy,
global
economy
and
local
with
that
I
just
want
to
go
over
next
steps
on
the
closing
slide
here.
Talk
about
our
final
slide,
showing
the
CIP
study
session
that'll
be
next
up
in
a
month
from
now
and
then
we'll
have
our
public
hearing
on
the
cdbg
home
and
general
operating
fund
requests
for
the
next
fiscal
year.
AT
D
AT
L
Thank
you
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
It
looks
like
good
news,
which
is
always
appreciated.
I
had
a
couple
of
questions.
The
first
one
I'll
start
it's
a
first
slide.
13.,
it's
been
a
while,
so
I
wasn't
looking
at
budgets,
but
the
ending
balances
are
those
for
the
well
I
guess
adopted
were
estimated,
is
much
higher
for
the
forecast
for
2023-24.
Is
that
included
the
7.2
million
in
the
the
starting
revenues,
or
is
that
the
ending
balance
so.
L
L
L
AT
Great
question
so
two
two
parts
to
that:
the
most
recent
Actuarial
does
not
include
the
the
loss
of
six
percent
of
last
year,
and
so
we
are
expecting
I
met
with
the
actuary
a
couple
weeks
ago,
actually
and
we're
expecting
a
drop
of
our
funding
percentage
about
nine
to
ten
percent,
so
we'll
be
back
to
the
2020
level
in
the
70s.
Oh.
L
Wow,
okay,
all
right!
Well
that
changes
things
a
lot
well,
so
then
I
guess
I
would
go
back
to
and
it's
this
probably
a
recommendation
I'm
as
anticipating
a
recommendation,
but
should
we
be
paying
down
this
liability
with
some
of
our
remaining
balance
and
I
know?
We
have
done
that
in
the
past
when
we
could
afford
to
do
so.
I
personally
think
we
should
be
doing
that
before
we
spend
more
money.
F
So,
thank
you,
council,
member
abek,
hoga,
so
the
two
million
to
the
reserve
that
will
be
in
addition
to
our
annual
payment
that
we're
already
making-
and
we
did
anticipate
potentially
coming
back
to
you
all
with
the
recommended
budget,
making
more
of
a
recommendation
to
paid
on
more
so
that
2
million
will
help
us
kind
of
chip
away
at
that
loss.
We
received
in
our
funded
status,
so
a
drop
of
around
10,
that's
significant
and
if
pers
continue
used
to
to
not
hit
their
assumption
their
rate
of
return
assumption
every
year.
F
F
Another
thing
that
staff
is
wanting
to
do
is
hire
an
actuary
to
actually
look
at
some
sort
of
long-term
plan
that
we
can
bring
to
you
all
to
give
us
policy
Direction
on
how
we
actually
get
to
paying
down
our
unfunded
liabilities,
which
would
be
more
of
a
long-term
plan.
So
that's
also
something
that
that
I'm,
just
guessing
with
staff.
L
A
I'm
going
to
ask
a
question:
if
I
hear
no,
if
I
see
nobody
else,
can
you
tell
me
a
little
more
about
the
business
license?
Tax
I
thought
that
at
one
point
we
were
estimating
it
would
bring
in
as
much
as
as
5
million,
but
it's
nowhere
close
to
that
and
I
know
it's
and
then
you
said:
I
didn't
catch,
whether
you
said
it
had
dropped
15
or
you
expect
15
more.
So
maybe
a
little
more
clarity
on
that.
AT
F
H
Yes,
I
asked
a
question
about
the
the
water
hookups
and
and
who
you
know
how
many
people
couldn't
pay
their
water
bill
and
I
was
surprised
when
I
saw
how
much
of
our
arpa
funds
were
going
to
that
I
didn't
realize
that
that
there
were
that
many
people
in
our
community
who
had
trouble
paying
their
water
bills,
and
so
it's
something
I
kind
of
like
to
look
into
a
little
further
as
a
social
issue.
I
know
we
do
have
support
through
CSA.
H
Don't
we
to
help
people
and
anyway,
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
about
that
and
just
to
understand
better.
If
the
social
support
we
have
is
adequate.
These
people
are,
you
know
if
these
people
are
Bad
actors
and
or
or
if
you
know,
this
is
something
because
water
I
see
water
as
a
I,
see
water
as
really
is
a
public
trust
thing
and
as
something
that
as
humans,
we
all
need
so
I.
A
Seeing
no
more
questions
would
any
member
of
the
public
joining
us
virtually
or
in
person
like
to
provide
comments
on
this
item.
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
submit
a
blue
speaker
card
to
the
city
clerk
we'll
take
in-person
speakers.
First
I
do
not
see
any
and
I
do
those
see
one
virtual
speaker,
Tim
McKenzie.
S
S
I
wanted
to
raise
an
idea.
I
think
I
brought
this
up
in
one
of
the
displacement
response
meetings,
but
I
wanted
to
raise
it
in
this
venue
and
Council
about
a
possible
Revenue
generating
thing
if
we're
worried
about
not
getting
as
much
revenue
from
the
business
tax
due
to
possible
layoffs
in
the
future.
S
Well,
one
I
know
that
the
topic
has
been
brought
up
before
from
at
Council
of
vacancy
tag.
Taxes
on
storefronts
and
I'd
also
like
to
perhaps
see
that
for
landlords
but
additionally
analogously
to
the
business
tax
that
sort
of
per
employee
I
I
would
like
to
see
some
sort
of
tax
on
a
on
landlords
that
are
given
a
certain
size.
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
it
would
look
like,
but
I'm
sure
there
there
would
be
a
reasonable
way
to
figure
it
out.
S
J
J
The
budgeted
amounts
to
actual
expenditures
that
are
anticipated
to
occur
during
fiscal
year,
2020
to
through
2023,
to
be
read
in
title
only
for
the
reading
waived
and
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Mountain,
View
authorizing
the
city
manager
or
designee
to
amend
the
classification
and
salary
plan
for
regular
employees
for
fiscal
year
2022-23
to
be
read
in
title
only
for
the
reading
waived.
Thank
you
see
Council
Ramirez,
seconding
council
member
matichek.
Do
you
want
to
discuss
something?
J
Yeah
I
do
and
so
I
didn't
have
questions,
but
I
did
have
some
comments
and,
and
while
I
appreciate
the
discussion
about
our
unfinded
liability
and
I
do
support
if
there
is
the
opportunity
to
contribute
more
to
that
to
do
that.
I
also
would
like
us
to
consider
putting
some
money
into
affordable
housing,
and
we
know
we've
got
several
lots
that
are
being
dedicated
to
the
city
and
it
is
going
to
cost
money
to
build
the
affordable
housing.
J
J
One
and
I
think
that's
it
thanks.
So
are
you
making
those
as
friendly
amendments
to
the
current
motion
or
are
you
is
that
something
you're
suggesting
for
future
budgets?
Well,
since
this
is
estimated
and
we
haven't
allocated
like
7.2
million,
you
know
we
talked
about
putting
additional
into
purse.
I
would
like
us
to
as
we
look
at
what
the
actuals
end
up
being
allocating
some
of
it
to
affordable
housing
and
a
public
art
fund.
J
J
I
thought
that
Council
might
discuss
that
as
part
of
the
economic
Vitality
report
back,
and
so
that's
why
it
didn't
come
up
as
a
work
plan
project
and
why
I
didn't
bring
it
up
in
any
comments.
Is
that
that's
where
I
thought
it
was
going
to
revert
back
to
us,
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
for
a
public
commenter
about
why
I
didn't
bring
that
up.
So,
thank
you.
J
Council
member
Ramos
I
just
wanted
to
report
back
that
I
went
to
the
avenida's
board
of
directors
meeting
as
the
council
liaison.
It
was
really
quite
wonderful
and
the
pastor
just
a
strategic
plan
and
one
of
a
very
important
plank
that
they
added
in
was
a
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
so
that
was
that
was
quite
wonderful
and
it
was
they
mentioned
it.
They
talked
about
how
important
the
the
rose
Klein
Center
here
in
Mountain
View
was
was
was
toward
that.
J
So
that's
my
report
back
from
avenida's.
Thank
you,
council,
member
Abba
Koga.
Thank
you.
Mayor
I
wanted
to
report
that
I
was
invited
to
attend
the
cities
today.
Institute
leadership
Forum
on
Mobility
I,
mentioned
that
earlier
it
was
a
two-day
conference
in
Houston
and
they
they
had
called
they.
They
had
called
me
in
the
fall
asking
about
what
the
transportation
issues
in
Mountain
View
were.
So
we
had
a
little
interview
and
then
soon
after
I
was
invited
to
actually
participate
in
this
conference,
and
it
was
a
very
interesting.
J
Some
of
the
topics
that
were
covered
were
so
it
was
in
Houston,
so
Houston
was
kind
of
a
model
City
in
terms
of
how
cities
collaborate
with
Transportation
agencies,
and
then
we
talked
about
traffic
management,
a
big
discussion
on
frankly,
Recruitment
and
Staffing
and
the
challenges
there.
Everybody
is
experiencing
the
same
and
then,
as
I
mentioned,
there
was
a
a
a
a
workshop
on
micro,
Mobility
or
in
Denver,
and
they
were
the
case
study
that
showed
this
huge
rise
like
they
have
a
bike
share
Pro
program.
J
It
was
hovering
about
20
percent
users
and
then,
when
they
added
e-scooters
it
jumped
by
almost
six
times
that,
and
so
that's
why
I'm
now
on
this
e-scooter
kick.
But
it
was
interesting
as
they
had
shared
that
there
was
a
huge
rise
in
user
usership
with
women
one,
because
it
allows
you
to
wear
more
different
types
of
clothing
with
a
scooter
as
opposed
to
a
bike,
and
then
they
used
to
have
a
curfew
on
these
at
9
00
PM.
J
But
there
were
a
lot
of
folks
who
worked
like
the
swing
shift,
who
take
transit
to
work,
but
then
couldn't
get
home,
and
so
they
lifted
that
and
that
increased
the
ridership
too.
So
that's
a
lot
of
interesting
data
points
that
I
hope
that
we
will,
you
know,
take
into
consideration
as
we
shape
our
program.
Thank
you,
council.
Member
matter
check.
J
Thank
you
and
I
was
wondering
if
my
colleagues
are
interested
in
referring
to
the
cppc,
an
item
that
came
up
recently
and
that
was
the
informal
process
we
have
of
electing
a
mayor
and
a
vice
mayor,
the
policy
or
the
the
yeah.
The
council
policy
we
have
right
now
is
not
as
clear
as
it
could
be,
and
so
before
we
use
it
again,
we
were
thinking.
Maybe
we
ought
to
clarify
it,
but
part
of
that
is
also,
but
the
council
can
do
whatever
they
want
to
do.
J
But
if
we
were
going
to
try
to
document
what
our
historical
process
has
been,
we
would
need
to
clean
up
our
current
policy.
Folks:
okay,
referring
that
to
the
cppc
yeah
yeah
straw
poll,
everybody,
three,
four,
five,
okay,
I
guess
I'd
like
to
understand
the
concerns
about.
If
there
are
any
not
referring
it
to
the
cppc,
since
that
was
a
5-2
or
were
you
just
abstaining
I
mean
I,
think
I'm
just
traumatized
by
watching
other
cities
deal
with
their
mayorships,
so
it
we've
always
been
very
good
about
being
kind
to
each
other.
J
So
I'm
just
always
scared
like
what
happens
if
we
throw
the
wrench
into
that,
so
that
that's
largely
my
my
concern
I
think
we
would
still
at
least
it
would
be
my
goal
to
still
be
kind
to
each
other
and
Fair,
and
our
policy
right
now
can
be
interpreted.
Many
different
ways
was
kind
of
the
issue
that
came
up
and
yeah
I.
Think
sometimes
it's
clear,
and
sometimes
it's
not
yeah
yeah.
J
Okay,
any
other
comments
on
that
or
council
member
kamay
great.
Thank
you.
Last
Wednesday
I
attended
our
check
Finance,
as
well
as
our
board
meeting.
There's
a
lot
of
changes
at
track.
We
have
our
interim
executive
director
for
a
few
more
weeks
and
I
should
have
more
information
about
the
comings
and
goings
there
and
then
yeah.
I
think
that.
J
Okay,
seeing
no
more
reports,
City
attorney
Logue.
Do
you
have
a
closed
session
report?
No
there's
no
closed
session
report
this
evening.
So
we're
moving
to
item
10
then,
which
is
adjournment.
The
next
city
council
meeting
will
be
held
on
March
7th
2023
to
interview
applicants
for
the
public
safety
Advisory
Board
in
the
rental
housing
committee.
This
meeting
is
adjourned
at
12
18.
