E
D
A
A
But
before
we
move
on
to
the
proclamation,
I
wanted
to
share
some
of
the
things
that
the
city
of
mountain
view
is
doing
to
celebrate
black
history
month.
Our
city
library
has
a
celebrate
black
culture
and
history.
With
our
collections,
we've
created
a
list
of
books
and
media
celebrating
black
culture
and
history.
These
can
be
found
on
our
home
page
under
explore
selected
collections.
A
A
F
Congratulations
on
your
your
new
position
and
thank
you
to
the
honorable
council
members
who
are
here.
As
I
know,
you
are
all
committed
to
the
people
of
the
city
of
mountain
view
and
those
in
santa
clara
county.
It
is
just
an
honor
to
be
with
you
today
to
celebrate
african-american
contributions
here
in
america
and
to
be
recognized
by
one
of
our
most
important
cities
in
the
county
is
always
important.
F
And
I
want
to
thank
you,
the
previous
mayor,
the
mayor
before
who
have
sat
with
me
and
walked
with
me
through
this
journey
and
making
sure
that
we
recognize
these
contributions.
The
african-american
community
service
agency
is
definitely
here
for
the
people
of
mountain
view
and
serves
the
people
of
mountain
view.
A
A
A
A
H
Thank
you
mayor
good
evening,
council
members,
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
now,
so
I
am
here
to
present
the
latest
covet
19
update
tonight
for
february
9th,
and
I
will
try
and
just
highlight
the
most
high
level
changes
that
have
happened
since
my
last
update.
So
as
I
usually
do,
I'm
just
starting
with
the
numbers
right
now
county
wide
we're
at
about
105,
000
deaths
and
then
mountain
view.
Excuse
me
cases
1500
little
over
1500
deaths,
unfortunately,
and
for
hospitalizations
right
now
we're
at
326..
H
So
we
are
starting
to
see
a
trend
going
down
which
I'll
show
you
on
another
slide.
So
there
is
a
little
bit
of
good
news
there
in
mountain
view,
we're
at
a
little
over
2
600
positive
cases
right
now,
so
this
is
a
new
dashboard
that
the
county
has
put
on
their
website.
So
I
mentioned
before
that.
The
county
now
has
interactive
vaccine
data
on
their
website,
where
you
can
see
exactly
how
many
vaccines
they've
given
out
and
now
what
they've
done
is
show
the
actual
number
of
cases.
H
We
are
still
in
that
purple
tier
as
of
february
7th,
we're
averaging
about
32
new,
coveted
cases
a
day.
The
positivity
rate
right
now
is
4.9,
so
this
has
also
gone
down
from
that
high.
We
saw
after
the
holiday
period.
You
can
see
that
in
the
far
right
column
is
where
that
is
the
excuse
me.
The
middle
column
is
where
the
percentage
of
tests
are.
So
that's
that
positivity
rate
and
where
you're
put
in
in
the
different
tiers,
then
in
the
first
column,
is
the
adjusted
case
rate.
H
I
do
also
want
to
remind
everyone
that
scc
freebacks.org
is
the
county
website
where
you
can
go
see
what
tier
you're
in
and
you
can
also
go,
make
appointments
or
get
links
to
make
appointments
to
your
medical
care
provider.
So
right
now
the
eligibility
for
folks
who
can
get
vaccines
is
anyone
in
phase
1a,
so
healthcare
workers,
long-term
care
facility
workers
and
residents,
and
also
just
recently,
anyone
who's
over
the
age
of
65
right
now.
H
So
the
good
news
about
that.
As
we
talked
about
in
our
last
update,
we
do
have
a
vaccine
clinic
open
at
our
community
center
in
partnership
with
the
county.
So
right
now,
there's
what's
called
no
wrong
door
policy,
so
anyone
over
the
age
of
65
can
go
get
vaccinated
anywhere.
So
that
means
that
you
can
come
to
our
community
center
to
get
vaccinated,
regardless
of
where
your
health
care
is.
So
this
is
recent
news
that
that
the
county
just
changed
this
policy.
H
So
I
mentioned
last
time
that,
as
we've
ramped
up
county
wide
that
the
will
is
there,
the
infrastructure
is
there.
What
is
not
yet
there
is
the
supply,
so
that
does
still
continue
to
be
the
biggest
hurdle
county
wide,
but
we
are
anticipating
to
be
vaccinating
up
to
around
a
thousand
vaccines
per
day,
so
we're
almost
there.
I
think
we're
a
little
over
800
and
some
vaccines
that
occurred
just
this
past
day,
so
we'll
probably
get
to
a
thousand
vaccines
very
shortly.
H
H
So
you
can
see
right
now
that
percent
of
residents
that
are
16
and
older
who
have
fully
completed
the
vaccine,
is
only
2.7,
so
we
still
have
quite
a
ways
to
go
to
get
to
the
numbers
that
we
need
to
get
more
people
vaccinated
to
to
reach
that
stage
that
we're
really
coming
out
of
the
pandemic.
But
if
you
are
interested
in
learning
more
about
the
numbers,
this
is
a
great
tool
to
find
out.
H
So
there's
also
testing
going
on,
so
just
a
reminder
that
we
are
still
doing
a
lot
of
testing
events
at
our
mountain
view
center
for
the
performing
arts,
the
next
one
is
february.
16Th,
this
is
in
partnership
with
the
county.
It's
from
9
30
to
4..
You
can
just
go
to
sccfreetest.org
to
make
your
appointment
and
so
far
just
this
year,
we've
done
almost
2
000
tests
about
1900
tests.
So
please
make
sure
that
you're
going
to
get
a
test.
You
will
get
a
flu
test
as
long
as
well
as
a
cova
test.
H
At
the
same
time,
then
just
pivoting
to
updates
about
a
couple
of
our
programs
underway
right
now
I
do
want
to
let
the
community
know
that
our
small
business
grant
program
is
still
open,
applications
are
being
accepted
and
the
deadline
is
sunday
february
14th.
So
this
sunday
is
the
deadline
to
turn
your
application.
In
and
as
of
friday
february
5th,
we
have
received
about
83
applications
and
just
a
reminder.
H
This
is
funded
with
250
000
that
council
approved,
and
we
expect
that
it
will
fund
at
least
50
small
businesses
to
get
5
000
grants
each
and
those
will
be
selected
through
a
double
blind
lottery
system.
So
once
we
get
all
of
the
applications
in
and
staff
goes
through,
everything
then
we'll
be
granting
the
grants
and
announcing
the
winners.
H
We
also
hosted
a
webinar
last
week
and
it
was
attended
by
about
18
businesses,
so
we'll
still
continue
to
work
with
the
chamber
and
push
this
out
through
all
of
our
social
channels,
but
we
are
excited
that
that's
still
going
on.
Then.
I
also
wanted
to
let
the
community
know
that
we
do
have
two
advisory
body
recruitments
open
right
now,
so
our
rental
housing
committee
and
our
public
safety
advisory
body
or
excuse
me
advisory
board
are
recruiting
right
now,
so
applications
are
open
currently
and
the
deadline
to
apply
is
5
p.m.
H
So,
as
I
said
february,
26th
is
the
deadline
for
that,
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
thank
and
highlight
the
great
work
of
our
library
department.
So
I
know
that
many
of
you
know
I've
been
highlighting
the
work
of
staff
for
several
meetings
now
and
our
library
staff
has
just
done
wonderful,
amazing
work
and
keeping
our
grab
and
go
program
going.
H
We
hit
a
peak
in
december
where
there
were
almost
2
000
materials
checked
out,
are
given
out
through
our
gavin
grab
and
go
program
in
just
one
day,
and
it
was
almost
500
people.
I
believe
so.
We're
really
happy
that
we're
still
able
to
provide
the
service
to
the
community,
along
with
all
those
really
wonderful
things
that
we're
still
doing
virtually
for
the
community
through
facebook
and
through
online
webinars
and
even
the
items
that
the
mayor
announced
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting
and
celebration
of
african
american
history
month.
H
So
thank
you
to
all
of
our
great
library
staff
and
then.
Lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
remind
everyone
that
we
do
have
a
weekly
briefing
that
goes
out
and
you
can
text
mvcovid
to
22828
and
sign
up
with
your
email,
and
you
get
the
briefing
sent
directly
to
your
email
and
it
is
optimized
for
a
mobile
device
or
a
tablet
device
to
read
it,
and
that
information
is
any
latest
covet
updates
that
come
in,
along
with
certain
updates
for
the
city
and
city
news
and
business.

A
State

but
any

on

like
to
provide
public

If

please

blue

or
press

all

I
see
one
hand
up
and
miss
wonderland
and
we
have
the
timer
ready.
Okay,.
J
Hi
my
name,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
diane
gozzano
and
I
have
lived
in
mountain
view
since
the
1960s.
Recently
I
had
the
opportunity
to
learn
a
little
about
the
east
wisman
precise
plan.
I
marveled
at
the
details
of
the
plan
how
the
plan
strived
to
create
a
sense
of
community
and
how
it
planned
for
integration
into
the
surrounding
community.
J
J
This
weekend?
I
was
on
the
city
website
and
I
jumped
for
joy
when
I
read
about
the
mountain
view,
strategic
planning
and
vision
process.
I
live
on
cyprus,
point
drive
and
we
have
been
struggling
to
find
a
way
to
communicate
with
the
city.
Regarding
our
thoughts
on
the
rezoning
of
555
little
field,
I
would
like
to
make
the
suggestion
that
the
rezoning
of
555
middlefield,
a
precise,
planned
discussion,
be
incorporated
into
the
february
march
focus
groups
that
the
city
is
planning.
J
A
Very
much
miss
cabana
all
right
and
I
don't
see
any
other
people
with
their
hands
up
and
checking
in
there's
no
one
on
the
line.
Okay
and
there's
no
one
on
the
line,
so
I'll
close
oral
communications
and
we
can
move
to
item
6,
which
is
a
public
hearing
item
6.1,
is
density.
Bonus,
ordinance,
we'll
begin
with
a
stack
presentation
from
senior
planner
eric
anderson
and
assistant
planner
anna
salvador
and
let's
just
make
sure
that
they
are
moved
over.
A
A
A
A
So
this
awareness
is
a
state
program
that
is
implemented
at
the
local
level.
It
is
most
applicable
to
residential
projects
that
are
providing
affordable
units,
including
units
to
meet
replacement
requirements
depending
on
the
project's
scope
under
density
bonus
law
projects
can
be
eligible
for
a
density
bonus,
which
is
an
increase
above
the
maximum
density
that
is
otherwise
permitted.
A
There's
six
kind
of
key
components
that
I'd
like
to
touch
on
this
evening
about
the
proposed
ordinance.
At
this
time,
staff
is
proposing
a
simplified
ordinance
that
is
more
responsive
to
any
subsequent
changes
in
state
law
in
the
coming
years.
That
makes
reference
to
the
relevant
sections
rather
than
pulling
the
language
directly.
A
The
findings,
also
in
the
ordinance,
are
streamlined
to
further
clarify
the
city's
limited
discretion
to
deny
specific
requests
under
density
bonus.
Additionally,
staff
is
proposing
changes
that
provide
more
specific
detail
regarding
application
requirements,
and
this
just
further
provides
clarity
for
both
applicants
and
staff
as
to
what
is
required
to
review
and
determine
eligibility
for
a
density
bonus.
A
Another
component
of
the
proposed
ordinance
is,
it
is
to
do
with
the
affordable
housing
military
projects
and
the
current
density
bonus
ordinance
that
the
city
has
includes
language
that
would
allow
the
city
to
consider
a
density
bonus
greater
than
what
is
allowed
under
state
law.
The
challenge
with
this
existing
language
is
that
there
are
no
guideposts
to
determine
when
and
how
the
city
would
consider
a
greater
density
bonus,
and
so
the
proposed
language
would
just
further
clarify
that
this
greater
density
bonus
would
be
allowed
for
100
affordable
projects
through
our
nofa
process.
A
A
Additionally,
the
density
bonus
does
interact
with
our
bmr
program.
Historically,
the
city
has
used
bmr
standards
for
the
administration
of
affordable
units
that
have
been
delivered
through
density
bonus,
a
particular
particularly
in
how
the
affordability
is
guaranteed
and
the
tenant
selection
process.
A
A
Staff
is
also
proposing
to
move
density
bonus
to
the
administrative
article
of
the
zoning
code,
primarily
because
its
structure
now
includes
application
requirements
and
findings,
and
this
type
of
information
is
typically
housed
within
the
administration.
Section
staff
is
also
proposing
to
remove
density
bonus
from
table
3644-1
just
to
further
clarify
that
density.
Bonus
does
not
have
its
own
separate
application,
review
process
and
other
aspects
of
the
project
ultimately
determine
the
appropriate
review
process
for
that
project.
A
As
a
companion
to
the
ordinance
staff
is
also
developing
an
administrative
guidelines
document
that
will
serve
as
a
one-stop
shop
to
reference
and
better
understand
provisions
of
state
law
and
the
local
ordinance,
and
it
would
it
would
serve
as
a
living
document,
with
both
examples
and
further
explanation,
as
the
city
continues
to
navigate
future
projects,
if
state
law
is
amended
or
council
provides
specific
direction
that
could
impact
future
projects
as
well.
This
document
would
be
available
for
both
applicants
and
staff
to
reference.
A
A
K
A
K
And
my
reason
for
asking
I'm
thinking
back
to
a
piece
of
constituent
casework
where
a
woman
in
palo
alto
was
lucky
enough
to
gain
access
to
a
unit
through
a
similar
program.
But
then
the
railings
of
the
building
had
rotted
out
and
she
essentially
couldn't
afford
to
stay
in
her
unit
because
she
couldn't
pay
her
share
of
the
repair
to
the
building.
A
A
Great,
thank
you.
So
much
do
other
council
members
have
questions
all
right,
seeing
none.
I
will
move
over
to
public
comment.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone.
The
city
clerk
will
display
the
timer
on
the
screen
and
we
can
set
that
to
two
minutes.
If
that's
okay,
ms
swandromington
great
thank
you
oh
and
the
hand
went
down,
so
I
think
that
we
lost
our
public
comment
on
this
item.
A
I
B
I
Oh
okay,
I'm
sorry
about
that
introduce
an
ordinance
of
the
city
of
mountain
view
to
repeal,
in
its
entirety,
division
111
of
article
4
of
chapter
36
of
the
mountain
view,
city
code
and
add
division
8
to
article
16
of
chapter
36
of
the
mountain
view,
city
code
related
to
density,
bonus
to
be
read
in
title
only
for
the
reading
waived
and
set
a
second
meeting
from
march
9
2021,
and
this
is
attachment
one
to
the
council
report.
Thank
you.
E
E
I
think
it's
a
work
in
progress.
I
expect
that
the
state
will
continue
to
amend
various
laws
and
it
will
have
implications
for
how
we
implement
this,
but
I
understand
the
rationale
for
a
number
of
the
recommendations
that
are
being
made,
and
I
think
it's
it's
certainly
a
lot
better
than
where
we
were
coming
from
at
least
we're
you
know
becoming
compliant
with
state
law,
so
I'll
support
the
motion.
A
K
Thank
you.
I
also
wanted
to
commend
staff
for
navigating
a
path
that
delivers
the
greatest
benefit
to
our
residents
and
if
it
is
possible
to
get
some
information
back
about
other
cities
that
have
a
maintenance
reserve,
I
think
in
the
rare
cases
where
that's
needed,
it
could
really
solve
some
problems
for
some
individuals.
Thank
you.
L
Yeah
I
was,
I
want
to
particularly
think
thank
them
for
the
guidelines.
I
think
that
the
you
know
the
the
guidelines
document
is
very
helpful.
When
I
first
read
the
staff
report
and
the
ordinance,
I
was
a
little
perplexed
about
how
you
did
some
of
the
calculations,
but
I
found
the
examples
in
the
guidance
document
very
helpful.
So
I
like
the
idea
that
it's
a
living
document
and
as
things
change
or
you
find
out
that
you
know
there
are
other
examples
that
would
could
be
added
to
it
to
make
it
better.
M
L
A
D
A
You
so
we
will
move
on
to
item
seven,
which
is
new
business
item.
7.1
is
a
legislative
program
priorities
for
2021.,
we'll
begin
with
a
staff
presentation
from
our
assistant
to
the
city
manager
christine
and
gilmore.
We
can
move
her
over
and
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
nicholas
harvest
from
congresswoman
eshu's
office
and
alex
kobayashi
with
state
senator
becker's
office
who
are
joining
us
tonight,
and
I
just
got
word
that
we'll
also
have
zach
ross
from
the
seminar
member
berman's
office
he's
trying
to
join
as
well.
So
I
will
let
mrs
gilmore
kick
things
off.
N
N
A
A
N
Welcome
good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
christina
gilmore
assistant
to
the
city
manager.
The
purpose
of
this
item
this
evening
is
to
approve
recommendations
for
the
proposed
legislative
program
for
program
priorities
to
guide
the
city's
regional
state
and
federal
legislative
advocacy
during
the
2020-2021
legislative
session.
N
In
2020,
the
council
directed
staff
to
expand
the
existing
legislative
advocacy
program
to
focus
on
regional
and
state
legislative
issues,
identify
key
legislative
issues
and
bills,
analyze
and
track
priority
bills,
and
legislation
and
proactively
advocate
for
the
city's
interests
and
provide
counsel
with
talking
points
and
regular
written
legislative
updates
and
finally,
maintain
regular
contact
and
coordinate
meetings
with
our
legislative
representatives
for
the
2021
legislative
program
scope.
We
are
recommending
to
follow
the
the
program
scope
from
last
year
to
carry
it
over
with
the
exception
of
adding
back
the
federal
level
legislative
priorities.
N
N
Our
proposed
legislative
program
for
2021
includes
the
general
parameters
that
are
currently
as
part
of
our
council
policy
a16,
which
advocates
for
maintaining
local
control,
ensuring
that
we
have
funding
for
city
programs
opposing
any
unfunded
mandates
and
fit
within
our
existing
policy
practice
and
goals.
In
addition
to
those
council
policy
areas
that
are
already
established,
we
are
recommending
that
the
council
adopt
the
following
issue:
areas
that
issue
areas
for
tracking
legislation
at
the
state
and
federal
level,
so
those
would
include
code,
19,
recovery
and
relief,
race,
equity
and
inclusion,
housing,
sustainability
and
airplane
noise.
N
N
We
will
continue
to
engage
with
our
state
and
federal
representatives
for
information
sharing
and
coordinating
opportunities
for
the
council
to
meet
with
those
representatives
for
the
fiscal
year.
2021
22
budget
proposal
we'll
be
proposing
limited
period
funding
for
a
legislative
advocate.
As
I
spoke
about
earlier
and
then
finally,
we
will
have
a
request
for
proposals
prepared
for
launch
if
the
council
does
approve
funding
in
the
in
the
next
fiscal
year,
budget
to
include
to
to
to
contract
with
the
legislative
advocate,
advocacy,
consulting
firm.
A
A
O
The
congresswoman
is
humbled
and
deeply
grateful
for
the
trust
that
you
have
placed
in
her
to
represent
you
among
her
current
priorities
are
the
following
number
one
work
with
president
biden's
administration
to
beat
the
virus
congresswoman
ashu's
top
priority
is
to
take
aggressive
action
to
speed
up
vaccinations
and
crush
the
virus.
That's
why
her
first
order
of
business
as
chairwoman
of
the
health
subcommittee
in
the
house
was
to
hold
a
hearing
with
top
experts
to
get
the
latest
information
about
the
pandemic
and
hear
their
best
recommendations.
O
O
Furthermore,
the
congresswoman
supports
policing,
reform
and
reinstating
the
voting
rights
act,
which
was
gutted
by
the
supreme
court.
She
co-sponsored
the
george
floyd
justice
and
policing
act
last
summer
as
well,
and,
finally,
when
it
comes
to
the
climate
crisis,
congresswoman
eshoo
realizes
that
climate
change
is
one
of
the
most
serious
issues
facing
our
nation
and
our
planet.
A
M
M
M
He
wants
to
work
on.
Excuse
me
creating
more
fun,
affordable,
housing
looking
for
ways
to
fund
that
for
the
cities.
Obviously,
that's
always
the
biggest
issue,
so
he's
looking
at
ways
to
provide
funding
for
local
governments
to
provide
housing.
He
obviously
has
a
history
of
working
in
green
energy
sustainability
issues.
So
that's
great
we're
glad
that's
on
there
and
then
also
working
to
diversify
opportunities
for
some
of
our
under
served
communities
and
reforming
the
criminal
justice
system.
A
P
P
No,
I
appreciate
the
invitation
to
be
here
today
and
it's
great
to
see
all
of
your
legislative
priorities.
I
think
we
continue
to
share
a
lot
of
priorities
with
the
city
of
mountain
view,
between
between
housing
and
coveted
relief,
of
course-
and
I
am
a
proud
resident
of
mountain
view
and
actually
live
right
next
to
the
community
center
and
so
I'd
say
the
vaccines,
seeing
everything
that's
happening
with
the
vaccines
right
over
the
fence
right
there.
P
P
We
have
a
bill
this
year
to
make
permanent
some
of
our
previous
bills,
including
the
track
my
ballot
bill,
which
we
had
a
couple
years
ago
and
the
sort
of
universal
vote
by
mail
making
sure
every
active
californian
voter,
every
active
california
voter
gets
a
ballot
in
the
mail,
and
so
we
are.
We
have
bills
to
make
both
of
those
permanent.
We
also
have
other
transparency,
related
elections,
bills
and
we're
working
on
a
few
housing
bills
as
well.
P
And
so
that's
a
priority
of
certainly
of
our
local
office
and
definitely
of
assemblymember
berman
is,
is
how
do
we?
How
do
we
help
these
people
in
the
best
way
possible,
given
the
horrible
circumstances,
but
we
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you
we're
always
available.
If
anyone
ever
has
any
questions.
They're
they're
always
welcome
to
work
reach
out
to
us
and
it's
good.
We
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
senator
becker,
we're
very
excited
about
his
election
and
he
made
good
staffing
decisions.
P
A
E
Thank
you
mayor
and
echoing
what
you
just
said.
I
appreciate
the
representatives
from
each
of
the
legislative
offices
for
providing
these
updates
a
quick
question
for
staff.
I
don't
want
to
open
pandora's
box,
but
is
this
an
appropriate
time
to
bring
up
specific
legislative
proposals
or
do
you
do
you
just
want
high
level
direction
from
the
council?
What
would
be
most
helpful.
N
We
would
appreciate
receiving
high-level
direction
that
there
are
specific
bills
or
legislation
that
you
would
like
staff
to
track.
If
you
could
send
that
information
to
staff
after
the
council
meeting
and
then
that
way,
we
can
review
it
and
provide
analysis
and
assist
the
council
with
analysis
of
each
of
the
bills.
Q
Q
I
I
How
much
support
can
we,
as
council
members
receive
from-
I
guess
our
consultant
in
terms
of
regional
issues
and
what
I
did?
What
I
noticed
that
I
think
was
missing
on
the
list
that
I
might
try
to
add
is
transportation,
but
it
might
have
like
for
the
recent.
You
know,
discussions
with
fbta
about
measure
b
funds.
I
I
K
Thank
you
and
the
question
to
staff.
If
I'm
understanding
the
staff
report
correctly
we're
more
identifying
priorities
tonight
and
then
an
rfp
being
formed
and
going
out
would
be
dependent
on
budget
action,
so
we
would
have
the
ability
to
look
at
the
the
cost
of
having
having
lobbying
done
for
us
in
the
context
of
the
full
budget.
A
Thank
you.
Do
any
other
council
members
have
any
questions
all
right,
seeing
them
would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item.
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone.
The
city
clerk
will
display
the
timer
on
the
screen
and
I
think
we'll
just
stick
with
two
minutes.
If
that's
okay
miss
under
london
great
all
right,
so
I
see
your
hand
at
bruce
england.
A
R
Give
me
okay.
Yes,
we
hear
you
hi,
okay,
bruce
england
for
mountain
view.
Coalition
for
sustainable
planning
and
green
space
is
mountain
view.
I'm
not
sure
what
the
best
way
is
to
go
about
this.
I
have
a
number
of
bills,
citations
that
I
could
forward,
but
I
don't
want
to
just
list
them
off
here
and
I
didn't
manage
to
pull
off
a
letter.
So
I'll
just
tell
you
some
of
the
topics
and
then
we
can
go
from
there.
R
I
can
you
know,
contact
the
city
and
figure
out
the
rest
of
it,
but
any
kind
of
bills
that
have
to
do
with
active
transportation.
In
mountain
view,
support
for
that
and
programs
related
to
and
walking
and
biking
in
our
city
would
be
great
and
anything
related
to
environmental
sustainability.
I
saw
in
the
report
that
that
still
needs
to
be
fleshed
out,
and
I
assume
steve
avenger
and
other
people
on
staff
are
working
with
him
on
that.
R
So
I'm
not
going
to
worry
too
much
about
that,
but
our
green
spaces
group
is
very
interested
in
seeing
any
kind
of
support
for
developing
more
green
spaces
in
our
city,
and
that
can
be
anything
tree.
Canopy
park,
space,
those
sorts
of
things,
and
then
there
are
a
couple
of
bills
of
interest
related
to
walking
and
biking
in
mountain
view.
One
of
them
is
ab-122
and
that's
where
bikes
can
be
can
treat
stop
signs
as
yield
signs.
This
is
has
been
done
in
some
of
our
neighboring
states,
like,
I
believe,
oregon,
washington,
idaho.
R
It's
sometimes
called
the
idaho
law.
Something
like
that.
So
that's
that'd
be
a
great
interest
and
the
other
one
is
ab117,
which
is
an
electric
bike.
Purchase
incentive,
I'd
like
to
see
incentives
for
more
than
just
electric
bikes,
but
this
would
be
a
great
way
to
get
people
out
of
their
cars
and
writing
alternative
forms
of
transportation.
G
S
S
all
second,
what
alex
just
said
I'd
like
to
echo
that
point,
we
don't
need
a
lobbyist
and
just
sort
of
on
a
broad,
led,
broad
sort
of
priorities,
level,
something
that
I'd
like
to
see
more
of
from
mountain
view.
Is
us
sort
of
taking
the
lead
on
initiatives
and
not
looking
to
our
neighbor
cities
and
seeing
what
are
they
doing
what's
the
least
we
can
get
away
with?
S
But
when
we
look
to
our
neighbor
cities,
finding
best
practices
that
we
can
adopt
and
become
the
best
version
of
mountain
view
that
we
can
be,
and
we
will
be
the
best
city
in
the
area
and
everyone
will
be
racing
to
catch
up.
I
think
that
that
is
how
we
should
be
looking
at
things.
We
should
be
doing
everything
we
can
at
the
local
level
to
be
the
best
version
that
we
can
be,
and
then
that
can
serve
as
a
model.
S
You
know
the
traditional
american
ideal
of
the
shining
city
on
the
hill
that
everyone
else
can
model
themselves
after
mountain
view
could
be
that,
and
I
hope
that
that
is
the
the
direction
that
council
chooses
to
take.
That
will
look
for
what
we
can
do
and
use
that
to
be
leaders
and
then
be
able
to
coordinate
with
our
other
our
neighboring
cities,
to
help
bring
them
along
with
us,
and
then,
when
other
people
have
taken
the
lead,
we
we
follow
in
their
footsteps
and
maybe
even
take
it
a
step
further.
C
A
A
I
You
mayor
and
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
support
staff
recommendation.
Definitely
I
think
this
is
the
opportunity
made
at
the
federal
level
advocacy
with
the
new
administration.
I
think
we
have
many
I'm
looking
forward
to
many
opportunities
to
get
get
some
get
some
things
done.
I
So
I
definitely
would
add
that
in
particular-
and
I
don't
know
if
mr
hargis
is
around-
but
I
know
it's
one
of
our
goal-
I
believe
it's
one
of
our
goals
or
our
work
plan
for
our
goals,
but
shannon
the
shenandoah
properties.
My
hope
is
that
perhaps
with
the
new
administration,
there
might
be
some
movement
there.
I
So
I'm
hoping
we
can
revisit
that
that
topic
and
then
I
did
want
to
see
if
there
would
be
support
to
add
transportation
into
as
one
of
our
priority
areas
as
mentioned,
and
we've
been
discussing
a
lot,
a
lot
going
on
with
just
eta
and
measure
b,
but
I
think
there's
anticipation
that
there'll
be
some
infrastructure
bills,
even
at
the
federal
and
state
level.
So
I
would
like
for
us
to
be
involved
in
those
discussions.
I
You
know
I
appreciate
this
coming
in
terms
of
having
a,
I
guess,
we'll
say
consultant,
I
believe,
councilman
of
medicine
I
have
been
talking
advocated
for
the
for
more
help,
more
resources
in
this
area
for
several
years
now.
Ideally,
I
think
we
did
talk
about
having
a
staff
person,
but
in
light
of
the
other
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
my
my
interest
is
to
have
someone
as
soon
as
we
can,
and
if
this
is
the
way
to
do
that,
then
I
I
support
it.
I
Q
Q
I
also
have
quite
a
few
topics
that
I
would
also
like
to
focus
on,
or
have
tracked,
and
probably
the
biggest
one
is
having
been
on
the
airplane
noise
round
table
for
a
while.
The
impact
of
airplane
noise
on
people's
health,
so
there
were
some
bills
introduced
in
the
last
session,
but
they
didn't
go
anywhere,
but
they
were
gosh.
Q
I
think
they
were
up
to
17
or
18
relevant
bills
last
time,
so
I
feel
like
if
we
all
keep
on
adding
these
we're
going
to
have
so
many,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
we're
going
to
figure
out
a
priority,
but
I'm
thinking.
Maybe
we
need
to
do
that
because
there
could
be
a
lot
that
we're
interested
in
and
I'm
also
interested
in
things
that
help
when
it
comes
to
coven
small
landlords.
Q
We
moved
the
money
to
help
renters,
and
so
I
think,
there's
other
things,
and
you
know
we
ought
to
keep
our
eye
on,
and
I
also
am
very
interested
in
being
proactive
about
addressing
bills
that
have
already
been
passed.
It's
now,
legislation
that
we
know
have
issues
and
the
one
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
sb
330.
When
we
talked
about
that
as
a
council,
we
had
lots
of
concerns
about
it
and
said
we
don't
want
to
just
wait
until
they
do
something
about
it.
Q
Let's
proactively
say
what
we
want
done
and
work
with
our
representatives
to
try
to
make
those
changes
so
see.
I
will
send
the
topics
and
the
list
of
bills
that
I'm
aware
of
or
previous
ones
that
might
come
back,
but
again,
I
think
we
need
to
figure
out
some
way
to
prioritize
those
or
we
might
overwhelm
this.
The
the
consulting
firm
thanks.
A
Great
thank
you
councilmember
check,
so
I
believe
councilmember
moved
the
staff
recommendation
plus
adding
transportation.
Is
that
right
and
so
we're
looking
for
a
second
one?
Oh
I'm
happy
to
move
it
yeah!
Okay,
I
was
double
checking
and
double
checking
because
I
realized
they
got
right
into
comments
and
then
so
I
just
want
to
see
if
there
was
a
second
cousin
overlapper.
I
think
I
saw
you
still.
Second,
I
feel
free
to
add
your
comments.
Go
ahead.
K
Thank
you
so
much
well,
I'm
so
glad
to
see
the
scope
of
the
topics
that
we're
going
to
potentially
consider
pieces
of
legislation
within,
and
I
think
it's
really
a
breath
of
fresh
air
and
it's
going
to
make
us
more
effective
to
not
just
be
on
the
same
topics
that
you
know.
Council
had
been
for
many
years
and
I
I
know
this
is
a
couple
years
coming.
K
L
Well,
I'm
pleased
to
see
it
move
forward
too.
I
I
think
this
is
very
important
and
I
know
when
I
was
on
council
the
first
few
years
we
were
able
to
do
quite
a
bit
of
lobbying
and
I
think
it
was
really
effective,
for
instance,
the
shenandoah
the
shenandoah
park
that
you're
talking
about
that.
We
got
that
some
work
with
that
started
and
we'd
like
to
get
back
on
track
with
that
it
was
a
very
important
project.
L
L
So
I
think
that
that
we
don't
want
to
protect
or
increase
blanket
local
control.
We
want
to
be
very
judicious
with
that
and
if
there's
local
control,
I
mean,
for
instance,
with
housing
bills.
We're,
inter,
I
think
I
I'm
interested
in
housing
bills
that
support
people
who
do
good
housing
and
perhaps
penalize
people
who,
who
don't-
and
I
know
one
of
the
things
I've
heard
all
again
and
again-
is
how
we
want
our
neighbors
to
step
forward.
So
I
I
feel
uncomfortable
with
this
blanket
local
control
statement.
T
H
T
T
A
Great,
thank
you,
council,
member
hicks,
so
I
see
councilmember
ave
and
councilmember
mata
check
with
their
hands
up,
so
I'm
going
to
just
put
in
my
two
cents
before
we
go
into
second
round.
So
my
comments
in
general
are
that
I
will
approve
the
I'm
in
support
of
the
staff
recommendation
and
the
motion.
A
I
think
that
perhaps
I
might
think
of
things
a
little
bit
differently,
though,
in
my
support,
which
is
to
note
to
me
it's
about
increasing
our
capacity
to
keep
up
with
the
various
legislation,
that's
happening
both
on
the
federal
level
and
in
the
state
level.
So
when
I
think
about
any
type
of
irp,
I
perhaps
think
of
it
as
more
having
more
capacity
to
triage
the
amount
of
bills
that
are
being
you
know,
written
every
day
and
where
our
our
city
priorities
are
and
being
able
to
align
them,
and
so
I
think
particularly
you
know.
A
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
balance
as
well,
I'm
happy
to
to
advocate
and
support
and
lobby,
but
I
think
some
of
us
also
have
a
full-time
jobs,
and
so
it's
a
full-time
job
being
able
to
track
all
this
legislation.
That's
coming
and
being
able
to
keep
up
and
the
different
that
and
then
things
that
can
happen.
So
I
think
I'm
just
looking
for
a
bit
of
of
help
and
I
think
we've
tried
to
explore
in
prior
years
staff
capacity
to
do
this.
A
You
know
now
we're
facing
a
pandemic,
so
I
think
it's
it's
more
to
give
a
little
bit
of
of
kind
of
soothing
room
for
the
importance
of
these
legislative
priorities
and
that's
why
I'm
supporting
it
not
so
much.
You
know
to
kind
of,
I
think,
to
the
other
comments
that
have
been
made,
and
I
know
that
we'll
be
able
to
talk
about
this
more
throughout
the
budgeting
process
and
really
refine
the
scope.
But
I
think
that
for
the
high
level,
I'm
in
support
of
this
direction,
so
council,
member
abe
coca.
I
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
respond
to
some
others,
and
also
I
I
am
in
agreement.
It
wasn't
about
giving
it
to
someone
to
advocate
for
us,
but
you
know
you
know.
I've
been
in
situations,
especially
at
the
cities,
association
chairing
the
legislative
action
committee,
where
we
went
through
all
the
housing
bills
two
years
ago,
and
you
know
other
cities
have
their
binder
and
they
have
positions
on
every
bill
and
we
just
never
had
that,
and
so
I
was
pretty
much
kind
of
on
my
own
trying
to
figure
out.
I
You
know
what
would
be
best
for
our
city.
So
that's
what
I'm
really
looking
for
is
that
kind
of
backup
support,
so
we
can
take
positions.
You
know
publicly
on
some
of
these
issues
and
then
yes
to
supplement
if
we
can't
get
out
there.
That
has
a
backup
person
to
to
do
that
to
advocate
for
us,
but
I
wanted
to
circle
back
and
kind
of
tie
that
to
councilmember
show
walter's
comments
about
local
control
and
I
very
much
agree
with
what
was
said.
I
That
would,
you
know,
want
full
local
control,
no
one,
these
housing
bills,
as
I
was
trying
to
find
ways
to
get
to
yes,
so
you
know,
I
didn't
want
to
say
no
on
everything
it
was
challenging,
because
I
just
didn't
have
that
support,
backup
support
to
figure
out
what
our
path
would
be.
So
that's
what
that's
my
interest
here,
and
so
you
know
I'm
okay
with
saying
local
control,
but
I
want
mountain
view
to
figure
out
what
that
means
for
mountain
view
and
that's
what
I
would
look
for
help
on.
Thank
you.
Q
So
a
little
bit,
let's
see
uncertain
about
what
what
process
we're
going
to
use
here
to
say
what
we
want
to
track.
So
I
agree
with
the
topics
that
were
in
the
staff
recommendation
and
I
certainly
agree
transportation,
which
is
part
of
the
motion
is
important,
but
I
feel
like
there's
all
these
others
so
are.
Are
we
supposed
to
put
them
all
forward
tonight
to
get
them
into
the
motion
or
are
we
so?
Q
H
So
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
is
just
find
out
what
all
of
the
bills
are
and
then
certainly,
if
you're
interested
in
an
advocacy
firm,
they
can
help
with
that
as
well.
However,
timing
will
be
an
issue
with
that,
because,
if
that's
not
going
to
be
until
part
of
this
budget
process,
then
that
won't
be
approved
until
june.
H
So
you
all
know
what's
happening
where
things
are
at
so
essentially
you
would
need
to
give
that
information
to
staff
and
then
we'll
go
from
there
and
I
think
for
the
items
that
don't
necessarily
fall
neatly
under
the
priorities.
For
instance,
you
mentioned
covid
or
other
things
that
we
know
could
fall
under
the
umbrella
of
council
priorities.
I
think
if
council
members
are
interested
in
certain
items,
go
ahead
and
send
them
and
staff
will
analyze
them
and
have
that
assessment
and
then
be
able
to
give
the
recommendation
about
it.
Q
A
Q
K
I
know
that
they
have
been
absolutely
flooded
and
I
worked
with
leslie
bullduck
from
assemblymember
berman's
office
on
an
edd
case,
which
was
for
a
resident
of
mountain
view,
who
had
been
having
trouble
all
year
long
trying
to
get
money
and
was
really
having
a
hard
time
because
of
it,
and
they
were
able
to
help
in
resolving
the
case
and
get
the
money
into
the
bank
account
within
three
days,
and
that's
really.
The
proof
in
the
pudding
is
when
the
money
comes
into
the
bank
account.
K
L
Yeah
I
wanted
to
bring
up
the
judicious
evaluation
of
of
local
control
that
two
of
us
have
mentioned
it,
and
I,
I
hope
that
there's
more
support
for
that,
because
I,
I
really
do
think
we
you
know
we
want
to
look
at
every
instance
as
whether
it's
local
control
that
we're
that
mountain
view
is
interested
in
not
that
just
blanket
local
control.
That's
very
important
to
me,
so
I'd
like
to
add
that
is
that
okay,
yeah
good!
Thank
you.
A
It
looks
like
you
have
thumbs
up
from
both
motion
makers,
so
seeing
no
more
hands
from
council
members.
I
think
it'll
be
all
right
to
move
on
to
a
roll
call
vote,
if
that's
all
right
with
my
colleagues
all
right,
seeing
some
heads
mapping
I'll
turn
it
over
to
miss
wanderington.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
D
A
Great,
thank
you
yes
and
once
again,
thank
you
to
our
our
guests,
who
joined
us
and
gave
us
an
update
on
the
legislation
all
right.
So
now
we'll
move
on
to
item
7.2
our
fiscal
year.
2021
mid-year
budget
status
report
recommended
meteor
adjustments.
Fiscal
year,
2021-22
preliminary
general
operating
fund
forecast
and
fiscal
year,
2020-21
performance
workload,
measures
so
to
begin
city
manager,
kinder
mccarthy,
will
start
things
off
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
finance
and
administrative
services.
Director
jesse
takahashi.
H
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members,
so
tonight
is
our
mid-year
update
that
we're
bringing
forward
to
inform
council
of
our
our
status
of
our
current
budget
and
let
you
know
about
where
we're
going
to
be
at
least
projected
right
now
for
next
fiscal
year.
So
I
think
you
all
know
one
of
the
things
we've
all
been
talking
about.
So
much
is
just
a
great
deal
of
uncertainty
that
we're
in
right
now,
not
only
with
how
things
are
right
now
with
covet,
but
how
things
are
going
to
go.
H
So
I
would
just
say
that
the
information
we
have
tonight
is
only
as
good
as
what
we
know
right
now.
So
a
lot
of
this
could
change
over
the
next
several
months.
It
could
change
either
way,
and
I
think
that
that's
really
part
of
the
top
line
information
that
you're
going
to
get
from
mr
takahashi
tonight
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
him
to
give
you
the
details
and
then
certainly
we'll
answer
questions
when
it
comes
time
to.
C
U
Okay,
excellent
and
you
should
see
the
title
slide:
yes,
very
good
in
that
case
good
evening,
american
may
and
honorable
council
members
jesse
takahashi
finance
administrative
services
director
before
we
get
into
the
mid
year.
I
just
want
to
kind
of
bring
you
up
to
speed
with
a
little
bit
of
background
as
to
where
we
actually
how
we
got
here
and
up
to
today,
most
recently
on
november,
the
10th,
the
budget
update,
was
brought
to
council
and
at
that
time
appeared
to
be
on
track
with
overall
revenues
and
expenditures.
U
U
This
is
a
summary
of
our
revenues
for
the
general
operating
fund
and
we
actually
show
our
prior
year
audited
what
we
adopted
and
estimated
so
reading
the
chart
from
left
to
right,
the
blue,
green
and
purple
adopted,
or
I'm
sorry,
audited,
adopted
and
estimated.
The
purple
colors
overall.
Revenues
for
the
general
operating
fund
are
estimated
to
be
140.5
million
dollars
slightly
lower
than
budget
overall.
But
I
wanted
to
focus
in
on
a
few
of
the
components,
and
these
are
essentially
the
revenues
broken
down
into
the
major
categories.
U
Our
second
largest
source,
and
one
that
I
wanted
to
highlight,
is
use
of
money
and
property
which
essentially
consists
of
rents
and
leases,
which
is
rather
unique
to
the
city
of
mountain
view,
as
I
think
we
have
mentioned
in
the
past.
The
fact
that
we
actually
have
ground
leases
and
lease
out
to
various
companies
and
businesses
throughout
the
city
has
also
been
a
source
of
stable
revenues
over
the
years
and
during
this
time,
especially,
is
continuing
to
act
as
a
source.
U
You'll
notice
that
there's
a
slight
decrease
here
and
that's
because
our
investment
income
is
also
included
in
this
category
and
there's
been
a
slight
decrease
in
earnings
on
that.
But
overall,
this
continues
to
be
a
stable
source
of
the
city's
general
operating
fund
revenues
where
we've
seen
the
most
impacts
because
of
covet
are
in
our
next
sources,
which
are
the
sales
tax
and
tot
our
transit
occupancy
tax.
U
We've
had
a
lot
of
personnel
turnovers
as
well
and
that
those
vacancies
and
empty
positions
have
helped
keep
the
expenditures
down
somewhat
to
a
large
degree
and
services
and
supplies
those
are
essentially
on
track
with
budget
and
and
really
those
are
the
significant
pieces
of
of
what
we
have
here.
Really
a
lot
of
the
vacancies
and
salary
savings
that
are
helping
to
keep
expenditures
in
check.
U
While
this
could
improve,
there's,
certainly
a
lot
of
risk
that
this
could
also
deteriorate
further.
So
at
this
point
in
time,
we'll
proceed
here.
We're
recommending
that
the
city
proceed
cautiously
with
the
remaining
part
of
the
year,
continue
to
monitor,
expenditures
and
and
and
try
to
do
its
best
to
deal
with
the
pandemic.
U
So
this
this
next
slide
summarizes
some
of
the
other
major
funds
that
we
have
in
the
city.
We
have
development
services
fund,
which
is
composed
of
essentially
a
building
and
plan
check
planning
areas,
and
these
are
well
within
the
general
fund-
are
a
segregated,
separate
fund
to
monitor
the
activity
of
those
of
those
services.
U
So
to
summarize,
the
revenues
are
for
the
development
services
are
running
slightly
below
budget.
However,
these
are
also
offset
with
below
budget
expenditures,
and
so
those
are
roughly
offsetting
each
other
and
development
services
in
general
are
still
continuing
to
stay
very
busy,
and
while
the
numbers
are
down
a
bit,
we
do
expect
they
are
going
to
net
out
and
still
remain
positive
for
the
rest
of
the
fiscal
year.
U
Our
utility
funds,
water,
waste,
water
and
solid
waste
or
garbage
those
are
also
essentially
on
track
or
below
budget.
In
terms
of
the
expenditures:
the
waste
water.
There
is
a
slight
under
budget
for
revenues,
but
something
or
nothing
that
is
causing
considerable
concern
at
this
point
in
time,
and
then
our
solid
waste
is
is
also
on
track
as
well.
So
the
utility
funds
are
projected
to
remain
in
good
shape
for
the
rest
of
this
fiscal
year.
U
At
this
time,
and
a
lot
of
them
are
related
to
the
coveted
19
costs
that
we've
incurred
and
there's
several
half
a
million
dollars
is
being
requested
for
expenditures
that
have
been
made
throughout
this
fiscal
year.
Continuing
from
last
fiscal
year
in
terms
of
ppe
provisions
providing
hygiene
stations
throughout
the
community
and
various
overtime
related
to
covert
mitigation
efforts,
there's
also
technology
related
expenditures
that
have
been
incurred
for
staff.
U
Setting
up
new
zoom
licenses
deploying
laptops
in
order
to
allow
people
to
work
at
home
and
other
related
expenditures
as
a
result
of
trying
to
address
these
issues
with
covid
and
then
150
000
is
being
requested
for
work
at
from
home
mitigation.
We
have
over
300
employees
that
are
continuing
to
work
from
home
and
these
are
related
to
costs
necessary
to
help
with
making
that
situation
better
for
them.
As
this
situation,
it
has
continued
to.
U
U
That
is
being
requested
in
anticipation
of
a
couple
of
key
positions
that
are
going
to
be
retiring
at
the
end
of
the
calendar
year,
positions
that
will
may,
in
some
cases
be
difficult
to
fill
and
where,
over
56
years
of
combined
experience
and
institutional
knowledge
will
be
leaving
us
at
around
the
same
time,
and
we
feel
it's
imperative
that
there's
sufficient
training
and
transfer
of
knowledge
to
occur
with
these
before
these
folks
go.
And
so
that
is
why
this
request
is
being
made.
U
Now
I
wanted
to
turn
attention
briefly
to
the
preliminary
forecast
for
next
fiscal
year.
Fiscal
22,
our
projections
and,
at
this
point
in
time,
indicate
that
we
will
experience
another
deficit
of
1.4
million,
which
is
comparable
to
where
the
current
mid-year
estimate
is
and
again
the
revenues
and
expenditures.
U
While
we,
while
we,
you
know,
have
done
our
best
to
to
make
this
forecast
do,
are
based
on
a
lot
of
uncertainty
that
continues
to
occur,
and
it
was
a
challenge
continues
to
be.
A
challenge
to
you
know
really
pin
these
down.
So
would
just
note
that
these
are
a
snapshot
in
time
once
several
months
from
now.
These
these
certainly
could
be
off
in
either
direction,
but
this
is
based
on
the
best
that
we
can
do
at
this
point.
U
Some
of
the
assumptions
that
went
into
this
into
the
forecast-
I
wanted
to
just
list
out
here,
so
the
property
tax
base,
which
was
our
largest
general
fund
revenue,
is
increasing
by
only
a
little
bit
over
one
percent
versus
the
normal
two
percent.
That
is
more
typical
in
a
normal
year.
Part
part
of
that
is.
We
also
expect
appeals
to
increase
because
of
turnover
in
the
commercial
area
and
the
fact
that
the
work
from
home
may
affect
the
values
of
certain
commercial
properties,
and
so
that
will
be
lower
than
what
we
have
experienced.
U
U
We'll
also
we'll
be
having
capital
improvement
study
sessions.
In
march
we
will
be
incorporating
and
having
our
community
budget
101
workshop
towards
the
end
of
march,
which
we're
continuing
to
work
on
and
finalize
and
then,
as
we
get
into
april,
we'll
do
another
budget
check-in
and
update
for
council
to
show
what
may
have
changed
since
tonight,
we'll
be
having
hearings
on
cdbg
and
home
consideration
of
action
plan,
as
well
as
funding
recommendations
in
may.
A
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
my
question
and
maybe
it's
a
little
early,
but
I
haven't
seen
a
deficit
in
a
long
time,
but
of
course
that
is
extremely
concerning
to
me
and
so
and
that's
the
one
I
was
wondering
is
intent
that
for
us
to
in
order
to
close
the
deficit,
are
we
looking
at
cuts
or
do
you
have
other
options
for
for
how
we
might
close
that
deficit.
H
There's
a
lot
of
things
that
can
also
change
between
now
and
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
just
in
terms
of
controlling
expenditures
and
looking
at
some
other
parts
of
the
budget
that
we
may
be
able
to
bring
in
mind
to
be
balanced.
We
also
do
have
reserves
that
we
haven't
needed
to
use
and,
like
you
said,
maybe
many
many
years.
H
So
we
don't
think
that
this
is
a
situation
like
we've
had
in
the
past,
in
the
sense
that
we
would
be
thrown
out
of
whack
for
a
long
time,
which
is
just
the
uncertainty
of
covid
and
then
once
a
shelter
in
place
changes,
it
will
likely
change
how
a
lot
of
revenues
are
impacted.
So
I
guess
high
level
takeaway
a
lot
of
uncertainty
still
and
we
hope
to
have
more
information
in
april.
H
So
yes,
council,
council
member,
show
walter,
so
the
community
budget
101
workshop
was
something
that
came
out
of
the
race,
equity
and
inclusion
subcommittee,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
really
want
to
try
and
do
is
present
the
community
with
really
an
overview
of
how
the
budget
works.
First
of
all,
so
that
people
understand
just
the
nuances
of
it,
because
if
you're
not
really
in
it,
it's
really
hard
to
understand
how
it
even
works.
H
So
we
want
to
at
least
give
a
good
overview
of
revenues
and
expenditures
and
our
our
primary
revenues
primary
expenditures,
how
it
all
works,
how
the
process
works
and
then
what
we're
really
wanting
to
do
is
also
figure
out
how
we
might
be
able
to
engage
the
community
in
an
exercise
in
which
they
are
actually
putting
together
a
budget
themselves.
So
they
understand
how
the
trade-offs
work
and
how
budgeting
actually
works.
H
We're
still
trying
to
figure
out
how
that
might
work
virtually
just
because
in
many
instances
that
I've
had
the
ability
to
do
this
sort
of
exercise.
It's
a
lot
easier
to
do
in
person
when
you're
in
groups,
so
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out
what
some
of
those
details
might
be,
but
certainly
also
give
the
chance
for
people
to
ask
questions,
provide
feedback
and
really
just
give
a
general
chance
for
the
community
to
just
learn
more
about
the
budget.
H
K
H
So,
council,
member
libra,
I
think
I'll-
need
to
discuss
that
with
staff
and
and
think
about
that
more
how
that
process
could
work,
as
I
mentioned
to
earlier.
At
this
point,
I
I
don't
think
we
are
thinking
about
major
service
level
impacts,
but
obviously
we'll
know
more
as
time
goes
on,
so
I
would
encourage
folks.
I
do
know
that
we
have
certain
funding
opportunities
through
the
cdbg
process,
which
I
think
was
on
the
next
steps
outline
where
certain
community
groups
may
request
funding
through
that
process.
H
That
council
has
already
identified
then
in
terms
of
specific
requests.
I
think
obviously,
council
members
would
hear
from
community
groups,
so
I
think
we
would
need
to
talk
further
about
how
that
might
work
if
we
do
get
to
that
point,
but
I
don't
have
any
specific
feedback
on
how
that
may
work
tonight.
C
U
And
I
would
just
add
that
again,
because
things
are
changing
so
quickly
that
you
know
the
numbers
that
we
saw
tonight
may
change
very
significantly
by
the
time
we
get
closer
to
you
know
the
ability
to
adopt
budgets,
so
it's
really
kind
of
a
work
in
process.
We
have
to
monitor
as
we
go
and
be
able
to
make.
You
know,
changes
and
decisions,
not
on
the
fly,
but
certainly
what
we
think
tonight
may
change
next
month,
based
on
some
new
information.
One
thing
I
didn't
mention
that
was
well
along
with
the
presidential
transition.
U
A
Great,
thank
you,
20.
Other
council
members
have
questions
all
right,
so
would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
public
comment
on
this
item?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
starlight
on
your
phone
and
the
city
clerk
will
display
the
timer
on
the
screen
for
two
minutes.
S
Five
out
of
seven,
you
of
you
were
here
last
june
when
we
commented
till
about
three
in
the
morning
or
so
specifically
about
the
budget,
and
there
was
a
huge
upswell
of
support
from
the
community
to
reallocate
resources
from
the
police
department
to
other
places
to
better
match
the
services
of
our
community
to
the
needs
of
our
community,
the
police.
We
ask
them
to
do
far
too
much
they're
a
catch-all
for
every
emergency
emergency
call
that
comes
in
and
we
were
told
at
the
time
the
budget
is
a
month,
long
process.
S
S
It
feels
like
at
least
sometimes
more
frequently,
sometimes
a
little
bit
less
specifically
about
the
topic
of
the
budget
and
via
the
police,
and
I'd
like
to
once
again
highlight
that
reiterate
that,
and
I
know
that
the
public
safety
advisory
board
has
been
created,
but
the
appointment
process
will
be
such
that
it
will
be
impossible
for
them
to
do
their
work
in
time
for
budgeting
this
year.
So
I
hope
that
council
will
be
we'll
take
some
action.
S
We
already
have
some
information
from
the
hrc
listening
sessions
last
year
and
a
specific
policy
that
I
want
to
flag
and
put
put
out
there,
for
you
is
elimination
of
the
sro
program.
Getting
cops
out
of
schools.
Police
in
schools
are
a
major
contributor
of
the
school.
The
prison
prison
pipeline,
basically
they're,
taking
on
the
role
of
mental
health
professionals,
which
they
are
not
trained
to
do,
and
over
800
high
school
students
in
mountain
view
have
signed
a
petition
asking
for
sros
to
be
removed.
So
I'll
ask
that
you
consider
that.
Thank
you.
Q
G
As
a
member
of
several
community
groups,
I
really
appreciate
council
member
libra's
question.
I
personally
would
love
to
have
earlier
access
to
details
and
much
more
transparency
when
it
comes
to
the
full
city
budget
and
the
budgeting
process,
I
will
show
up
matter
what
night
of
the
week
it
is
to
the
budget
one-on-one
thing
because
about
michelle's.
You
know
it
knows
I'll
make
time
yeah
the
budget
is
the
crystallized
priorities
of
the
city.
It
is
what
we
care
about
it's
what
we
are
doing.
G
It's
not
just
what
we
say:
it's
it's,
how
we
make
a
difference,
and
I
think
that
we
as
a
people
need
to
know
where
our
priorities
lie
and
what
we
intend
to
do
and
also
need
to
have
a
say
in
it
directly.
Not
just
you
know,
to
vote
for
people
and
then
hope
that
they
do
the
right
thing
later
on.
Thanks.
A
E
Thank
you
mayor,
and
I
think
this
was
pretty
clear
to
members
of
the
public,
but
just
in
case
you
know,
the
recommendations
pertain
to
the
current
budget,
not
for
the
especially
for
the
next
fiscal
year.
So
I
think
there
will
be
plenty
of
opportunity
for
public
comment
on
the
development
of
that
budget.
E
I'm
prepared
to
move
the
staff
recommendation,
including
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,
2020
to
21
to
be
read,
entitled
only
further
leading
ways
and
the
only
addition
I
would
like
to
make
and
of
course
I'm
welcome
to
hear
recommendations
from
from
my
colleagues.
But
the
performance
measures
have
long
been
of
interest
to
me.
E
I
don't
think
this
is
something
that
is
urgent,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
for
us
to
provide
some
direction
because
I
don't
think
a
lot
of
them
are
terribly
valuable
and
I
think
the
best
way
to
do
this
would
be
to
add
it
to
a
cppc
to
the
cppc
work
plan.
As
a
non-urgent
item,
if
we
can
review
them
before
the
adoption
of
the
budget
for
implementation
in
the
next
fiscal
year
great,
but
I'm
not
expecting
that
that
will
be
the
case.
E
Enough
staff
has
a
lot
going
on,
but
I
do
think
starting
with
the
cppc
as
an
opportunity
just
to
provide
some,
maybe
high
level
direction
on
performance
metrics.
That
would
be
useful
to
the
council
and
removing
things
that
are
not
terribly
valuable.
So
that
way
you
don't
have
to
spend
the
time
working
on
those.
That
would
be
the
only
thing
I
would
add
to
the
motion,
aside
from
the
staff
recommendation.
E
A
Q
Second,
that
motion
I
have
talked
to
the
previous
city
manager
as
well
as
others
at
city
hall,
about
the
metrics
many
times,
I'm
big
on
metrics,
and
so
I
absolutely
support
us
taking
a
look
at
that,
but
I
feel
like
clearly
the
department
heads
and
the
city
manager
will
need
to
be
involved
because
they
also
know
more
about
the
operations
than
we
do.
But
yes,
I
absolutely
support
that.
Thanks.
L
Yeah,
I
guess,
as
a
as
a
past
civil
servant,
I
I'm
a
little
interested
in
whether
or
not
the
performance
measures
are
really
to
inform
the
council
or
to
inform
sort
of
staff
and
department
heads
about
what
their
jobs
are
and
what
the
what
what
obvious
deadlines
and
sort
of
workload
requirements
they
have.
Can
the
city
manager
talk
to
that
a
little
bit.
H
H
The
individual
departments
and
department
heads
make
decisions,
obviously,
depending
on
what
kind
of
measure
it
is.
If
it's
an
output
measure,
you're
measuring,
what's
happening,
what
the
workload
is
doing.
If
it's
an
outcome,
measure
you're,
actually
you're
you're,
measuring
the
impact
of
the
work
that
staff
have.
H
But
it
is
a
big,
it
is
a
big
lift
and
it
is
important
to
have
those
performance
measures
so
that
people
know
how
we're
performing
and
how
we're
serving
the
community.
But
it
is
certainly
a
big
project.
So
I
think
if
we
consider
this,
it
should
be
part
of
the
work
plan
effort
over
the
the
two-year
work
plan
period.
L
L
But
it
is
something
that
we
should
think
about
in
the
work
plan,
and
perhaps
if
staff
has
given
some
time
to
think
about
it,
they
could
come
up
with
a
a
subset
or
some
policies
related
to
it.
That
might
be
more
manageable
than
going
over
the
the
whole
list
for
each
department,
or
maybe
we
want
to
do
one
or
two
departments
at
a.
H

E
A
Q
Yeah
I'm
happy
to
comment
so
I
do
think
it's
important
to
have
the
city
manager
and
the
department
heads
involved
and
I
I'm
fine
with
it
being
a
work
plan
project
as
you
know,
but
we
have
to
prioritize
that
as
we
work
on
our
priorities
and
the
projects
to
support
those,
but
I'm
okay
with
it
being
moved
to
that
group
rather
than
the
cppc.
If
others
are
okay
with
that,
so
I
guess
do
I
go
sorry,
go
ahead.
E
I'm
comfortable
with
what
councilmember
mattis
suggested,
so
that
would
be
in
the
context
of
goal
setting.
Maybe
staff
can
prepare
some
information
about
the
workload
impact
just
so
we
have
a
sense
of
what
it
would
entail,
but
rather
than
have
it
as
a
cppc
work,
the
council
would
review
it
there
and
hopefully
prioritize
it.
A
Okay,
so
I
guess
for
clarity,
I
guess
I'll
look
to
the
city
attorney
city
attorney
turquoise,
so
it
sounds
like
we
have
a
motion
for
the
staff
recommendation
council
also
at
least
two
council
members
have
showed
interest
in
pursuing.
You
know
how
we
might
be
able
to
review
the
performance.
Metrics
we've
been
advised
that
that
would
be
best
through
goal
setting
do
we
need
to
include
that
in
the
motion,
or
would
we
just
wait
until
the
goal-setting
time.

Since
then,
the
vta
staff
came
back
with
another
presentation
that
would
show
some
financing
for
the
project,
which
would
then
keep
the
other
funding
sources
like
local
streets
and
so
forth
that
we
are
very
concerned
with
intact.
So
this
is
the
work
in
progress.
The
expectation
is
there'll,
be
a
more
discussion
and
a
decision
as
we
that
they
look
at
adopting
their
budget
in
june.
I
Also,
as
you
probably
have
heard,
our
general
manager,
nuria
fernandez
was
tapped
to
be
the
department
of
transportation
administrator,
oh
she's,
currently
deputy,
but
pro
expected
to
be
the
administrator
for
dot,
which
is
big
for
for
us.
Here
in
santa
cruz
county,
as
a
result,
we
are
engaging
in
a
search
for
a
new
gm
and
I
am
a
part
of
the
search
committee
at
this
time
with
the
cities
association.
I
A
Great
thank
you.
So
I
have
many
check
related
items.
Students
were
asking
that
they
attended
our
monthly
check
board
meeting
and
then
we
also
had
a
check
retreat
after
our
owning
city
council
retreat
on
saturday.
There
was
a
full
day
of
retreats
for
myself
and
check
is
also
the
czech
family.
Resource
center
