Live Video Conference: YouTube, mountainview.legistar.com, and Comcast Channel 26.
C
Wonderful
great
so,
good
evening,
everyone
welcome
to
the
city
council,
regular
meeting
of
november
9
2021.,
I'm
going
to
read
the
usual
announcement
as
required.
This
meeting
will
be
conducted
in
accordance
with
the
city
of
mountain
view,
city
council
resolution
number
18613,
in
accordance
with
assembly
bill
361.
C
Any
emails
received
by
5
pm
today
were
received
directly
by
the
city
council,
so
I'd
like
to
have
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
So
please
join
me
in
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
C
C
E
C
Thank
you
so
we'll
move
on
to
item
three,
which
is
our
presentations,
we'll
now
take
public
comment
for
all
the
presentation
items
of
which
we
have.
I
believe
three
would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
public
comment
on
the
presentation
items
listed
on
the
agenda.
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand
button
in
zoom
or
press
star.
None
on
your
phone
and
we'll
display
a
two
minute.
Timer.
C
C
C
C
So
I'm
going
to
give
them
their
round
of
applause
now
for
all
these
activities,
and
I
know
that
cities
throughout
the
bay
area
and
throughout
the
country
are
also
participating
in
the
united
against
hate
week
as
well,
and
so
I'll
just
read
the
proclamation,
whereas
the
united
states
is
a
nation
of
immigrants
whose
strengths
comes
from
its
diversity
and
the
constitution
of
the
united
states
enshrines
quality
on
all
individuals,
regardless
of
race,
gender
orientation,
religion
or
political
views,
and
whereas
recent
federal
policies
and
rhetoric
have
generated
a
toxic
environment
that
encourages
the
propagation
of
racist,
xenophobic,
anti-semitic,
sexist
homophobic,
islamophobic
and
other
bigoted
views
by
emboldened
hate
groups
and
individuals
and
whereas
deep
divisions
within
our
country
are
the
result
of
extreme
ideology.
C
C
F
For
those
of
you
who
don't
know
united
against
hate
week
started
with
the
poster
campaign
when
white
supremacists
were
marching
in
across
the
bay
area
in
2017
right
after
charlottesville,
so
it
started
as
a
poster
campaign
in
13
cities
we're
now
quite
a
few
years
later
near
100
communities
and
organizations
that
are
participating
across
the
country
tomorrow,
I'm
speaking
to
a
group
of
women
in
ukraine
who
are
starting
an
event
for
united
against
hate
week
there,
so
it
has
spread
far
and
wide.
It's
very
exciting,
to
see
it's
also
a
sobering
moment.
F
F
I
think
when
we
talk
about
hate,
we
have
to
remember
the
dangers
that
that
we're
facing
and
the
threat
to
our
neighbors
that
that
we've
seen
so
starkly
here,
particularly
after
the
pandemic
and
the
rise
in
anti-asian
hate
across
the
bay
area
and
around
the
country.
I
guess
what
was
really
inspiring
about
this
event
was
that
it
was
focused
on
solutions.
F
We
can
do
something
about
it
and
we
see
united
against
tate
week
is
such
a
vital
part,
and
it's
exciting
to
speak
to
you
here
in
mountain
view,
because
you
are
a
center
of
solutions
and
a
community
that
has
so
much
capacity
for
helping
to
change
the
world,
and
so
we're
excited
to
see
what
you
do
next
in
mountain
view,
and
grateful
that
you
are
inviting
and
engaging
your
community
to
be
part
of
this.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
we
look
forward
to
spreading
and
sharing
the
actions
from
your
town.
C
F
Please
go
to
united
against
hate.
Week.Org
you'll
find
an
action
kit
with
with
20
things
you
can
do
in
your
town.
You'll
find
a
way
to
get
free
films
in
our
town
is
offering
free
films
for
people
to
screen
throughout
this
week.
So
if
you
want
to
just
have
a
screening
with
your
neighbors
or
your
family,
you
can
do
that
or
at
your
a
local
community
group
or
faith
organization.
F
So
there
are
many
ideas:
there
are
poetry,
slams,
having
happening
all
over
the
bay
area.
It's
really
nice
to
see
the
youth
events
you're
that
you're
you're
hosting
there
and
the
engagement
of
libraries
across
the
across
the
bay
area.
So
many
things
that
you
can
do
you
can
find
that
on
unite
against
week

the
get

section
united

So
we

people
in
your
town
to
actions
that
are
happening
there.
C
Perfect

you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks
to
you,
thanks
to
our
staff,
who
are
doing
all
these
incredible
events,
would
any
member
of
the
council
like
to
say
a
few
words
council
member
abby
coca.
G
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
creating
this
proclamation.
Thank
you
to
our
staff
for
all
of
the
activities
that
are
being
planned.
Thank
you
patrice
for
being
with
us
today.
I
am
very
proud
of
our
city
of
mountain
view.
We
celebrate
our
diversity
and
have
time
and
time
again
spoken
out
and
voiced
our
and
really
shown
shown
that
that
we
we
value
the
diversity
of
our
community.
G
G
As
you
may
have
read
in
the
news
the
mayor
there,
our
colleague,
mariko
sayak,
has
been
under
attack,
and
so
a
number
of
us
will
be
attending
the
march
that
this
sunday
at
2
p.m,
and
I
would
invite
others
to
join
in
it's
unfortunate
that
a
town
close
to
us
is
going
is
going
through
this
in
a
pretty
severe
way.
G
C
H
C
Great
thank
you
right.
So
we'll
move
on
to
item
3.2,
which
is
our
family
court
awareness
month
proclamation
and
tina
swinton
founder
and
ceo
of
one
mom's
battle,
joins
us
this
evening
to
accept
the
proclamation
and
I
think
hi,
tina
hi.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
great
all
right,
I'm
just
going
to
read
the
proclamation
and
turn
it
over
to
you
for
a
few
words.
C
C
Now,
therefore,
I
ellen
may
mayor
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
along
with
my
colleagues
on
the
city
council,
to
hear
where
I
proclaim
the
month
of
november
as
family
court
awareness
month
in
mountain
view,
and
commend
its
observation
to
all
citizens
and
thank
you
tina
for
joining
us.
Would
you
like
to
say
a
few
words
and
maybe
share
a
little
bit
about
the
committee,
for
not
only
my
myself
and
my
colleagues
but
for
the
public?
I.
I
Would
love
to
thank
you?
My
name
is
tina
swidden,
I'm
an
author
advocate
and
creator
of
family
court
awareness
month.
We
are
only
in
our
second
year
and
we
have
received
support
from
over
200
cities,
counties
and
seven
different
states
in
the
u.s,
and
so
we've
made
a
huge
amount
of
progress
in
our
second
year.
I
I
I
I
Nobody
wants
to
be
validated
in
that
way
in
family
court
because
it
comes
at
a
great
cost,
and
you
know
we
know
that
domestic
violence
is
about
power
and
control
and
that
need
for
power
and
control
doesn't
just
go
away
when
the
relationship
ends
it
transitions
into
the
family
court
system,
where
the
children
become
the
pawns,
because
the
abuser
knows
that's
the
number
one
way
to
hurt
the
healthy
parent.
I
It's
really
important
for
us
to
recognize
and
honor
the
children
who
have
lost
their
lives
due
to
family
court
failures.
To
date,
there
are
111
known
cases
where
the
protective
parent
told
the
court
that
the
other
person
was
unsafe
and
they
were
ultimately
failed.
Our
kids
lives
are
dependent
on
the
courts
becoming
educated
on
abuse,
and
I
wanted
to
dedicate
this
proclamation
to
catherine
campbell
who's,
a
resident
here
in
your
city
of
mountain
view,
she's
with
california
protective
parents
association,
and
she
is
a
fierce
advocate
for
children
and
does
just
amazing
work.
I
We
do
believe
that
the
first
step
towards
change
is
creating
awareness,
so
we
are
grateful
to
mountain
view
for
standing
with
us
to
recognize
the
importance
of
a
family
court
system
that
prioritizes
child
safety.
So
thank
you.
C
Great,
thank
you
so
much
tina.
I
really
appreciate
you
joining
us.
Would
any
member
of
the
council
like
to
say
a
few
words
council
member
hicks.
J
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you're
doing.
I
think
this
educational
work
is
extremely
important
and
also
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
your
personal
story.
I
think
that
that
really
illustrates
and
brings
it
home,
I
think,
to
a
lot
of
people,
but
it
I
imagine
that
it's
very
difficult
to
share
that.
So
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
for
doing
that.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
hicks
did
anyone
else
like
to
say
a
few
words
all
right,
well,
tina
thanks
so
much
for
joining.
We
just
want
to
give
you
a
round
of
applause
for
for
raising
the
awareness
for
working
with
members
of
our
community,
and
yes
thank
you
for
for
sharing
your
your
personal
situation
with
us
and
I'm
working
so
hard
to
advocate
for
those
who
don't
have
a
voice.
I
really
appreciate.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all.
C
Great
so
our
next
proclamation
is
item
3.3,
national
hunger
and
homelessness
awareness
proclamation,
and
we
have
tom,
myers
executive
director
of
community
services
agency,
also
known
as
csa,
who
will
join
us
this
evening
to
accept
the
proclamation,
and
so
there
we
go
hi
tom.
C
C
I
think
it's
also
important
to
think
and
send
appreciation
to
the
following
organizations
for
all
they
have
done
to
help
our
unhoused
and
unstably
housed
community.
The
list
is
long,
so,
hopefully,
you'll
have
a
colleagues
will
endure
this
a
little
bit
but,
as
was
mentioned,
it's
it
takes
everyone
to
help
with
our
homeless
crisis.
So
we
have
alta
housing.
C
C
K
Yes,
please
thank
you,
mayor
command
city,
council,
members
and
and
city
staff,
and
thank
you
for
mentioning
all
of
those
groups,
all
of
the
faith
communities
all
of
the
organizations
all
of
the
government
agencies,
all
of
the
non-profits
who
are
involved
in
working
with
our
unhoused
residents.
They
are
great
partners
all
of
them
and
they
do
very,
very
important
work.
K
We
have
the
largest
safe
parking
program
in
the
county.
There
are
showers
available
on
almost
every
day
more
food
gets
distributed.
A
lot
of
people
don't
know
this
more
food
gets
distributed
in
mountain
view
than
in
any
neighboring
city
on
the
peninsula,
and
just
today
I
signed
two
checks
to
move
two
unhoused
individuals
into
housing.
K
These
are
all
successes,
but
for
these
successes
there
remain
far
far
too
many
who
are
sleeping
unhoused
in
our
city
tonight
they
are
old
and
young,
gay
and
straight
families
with
children
singles
with
no
one
to
rely
on
people
from
all
walks
of
life
and
and
poignantly
this
week.
Many
are
veterans,
everyone,
a
different
story,
everyone
a
different
life,
and
it
is
for
them
that
csa
will
prominently,
display
this
proclamation
when
our
building
reopens
to
the
public.
So
thank
you
very
much.
C
Thank
you
so
much
tom,
yes,
a
round
of
applause.
Would
any
member
of
the
council
like
to
say
a
few
words:
councilmember
shaw
walter.
A
Yeah
I'd
like
to
just
sort
of
ditto
what
what
tom
said
about
the
power
of
all
these
organizations
and
the
volunteers
that
make
them
make
them
up.
I
mean
I
know
that
people,
you
know
people
want
a
way
to
contribute,
and
all
of
these
organizations
provide
that-
and
I
know
you
know,
people
who
take
part
in
many
of
them
and
they
get
a
lot
of
fulfillment
out
of
it
and
for
those
of
us
who
have
money
to
contribute.
A
These
are
all
great
places
to
to
contribute,
and
it's
you
know
it's
very
nice
to
be
able
to
send
our
donations
to
something
that's
really
going
to
help.
You
know
our
our
neighbors
so
anyway,
thanks
thanks
tom
for
your
leadership.
It's
just
it's
inspiring.
L
C
L
L
And
so
thank
you
to
them
as
well.
C
Great,
thank
you.
Many
other
council
members
like
to
say
a
few
words
all
right.
Well,
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
tom
for
representing
csa
and
all
of
the
long
list
of
safety,
net,
community
partners
and
organizations,
and
I
guess
I
just
want
to
give
you
an
opportunity
as
we're
talking
about
going
into
the
holiday
season.
You
know
some
people
may
be
asking
if
you're
doing
donations
or
anything
of
particular
interest
for
csa,
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
the
opportunity
to
share
that
before
we
say
goodbye.
K
K
One
thing
that
we
are
doing
is:
we've
listened
to
the
people
we
serve
and
we
are
concentrating
on
empowering
them
economically.
So
we
are
really
concentrating
on
giving
out
gift
cards
this
year
and
making
sure
people
have
cash
gift
cards,
we're
giving
actually
larger
amounts
than
we've
ever
given
before.
So
we
definitely
need
the
donations
for
those
larger
amount
gift
cards,
but
if
people
would
like
to
make
donations
to
us
or
to
any
of
the
other
very
deserving
organizations
that
that.
K
Here
tonight
the
the
work
is
never-ending,
but
it
as
as
councilmember
lieber
said
it's
very
fulfilling.
So
thank
you.
C
Great,
thank
you
very
much
all
right
thanks
tom
another
round
of
applause
for
tom.
Thank
you
so
much
wonderful,
all
right!
Well!
That
concludes
all
of
our
presentations
for
this
evening.
So
we
can
move
on
to
item
4,
which
is
our
consent
calendar.
These
items
will
be
approved
by
one
motion
unless
any
member
of
the
council
wishes
to
remove
an
item
for
discussion,
the
reading
of
the
full
text
of
resolutions
and
ordinances
will
be
waived
unless
a
council
member
requests
otherwise.
C
All
right,
I
am
not
seeing
any
hands,
so
would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
any
item
on
the
consent
calendar?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand
button
in
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone.
C
All
right,
I
am
not
seeing
any
hands
and
I
don't
think
anyone's
on
the
line,
so
I
can
bring
the
item
back
for
counsel
action
and
note
that
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar
should
also
include
reading
the
title
of
the
resolutions
attached
to
item
4.2
council
member
show
walter.
A
Yes,
I
move
the
the
consent
calendar
and
for
item
4.2.
C
Demotion
great
and
the
second
by
councilmember
mata
check,
so
shall
we
have
a
roll
call,
though.
D
E
C
You
so
we'll
move
to
item
five,
which
is
oral
communications.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
reserved
for
persons
wishing
to
address
the
council
on
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
any
non-agenda
items.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
issue?
C
N
C
N
N
This
is
very
bold
and
contrasts
with
mountain
view's,
carbon
neutral
by
2045
plan.
So
again,
mountain
view,
which
has
long
been
seen
as
one
of
the
most
environmentally
forward
communities,
is
seeing
other
communities
moving
past
it,
and
I
hope
that
the
council
sustainability
subcommittee
will
consider
whether
we
can
make
equally
bold
commitments.
N
O
Great
good
evening,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
hear
you
perfect
so
good
evening.
My
name
is
pilar
furlong
and
I'm
the
chief
community
resources
officer
for
build
wilson
center,
so
we're
a
local
non-profit
here
in
santa
clara
county.
That's
working
to
end
youth
and
family
homelessness,
but
I'm
here
this
evening
just
to
let
the
community
know
that
november
is
runaway
and
homeless
youth
prevention
month.
O
This
is
especially
critical
in
santa
clara
county
because,
despite
being
a
technology
hub,
our
county
now
has
the
fourth
highest
population
of
homeless,
individuals
in
the
entire
nation
and
the
highest
rate
of
unaccompanied
homeless
youth.
So
did
you
know
over
at
san
jose
state
university
alone?
They
had
about
4
000,
homeless
students
and
with
black
students
and
first
generation
students
being
the
worst
impacted,
the
longer
a
person
is
homeless,
the
longer
it
takes
and
the
costlier
it
is
to
help
them
transition
into
permanent
housing,
lacking
adequate
employment
and
skills
for
independent
living
increases.
O
O
In
mountain
view,
bill
wilson
center
is
partnering,
with
partnering,
with
local
high
schools
to
assist
families
who
are
homeless
or
on
the
brink
of
becoming
homeless,
to
obtain
or
maintain
housing
by
helping
families
find
stability.
Youth
are
more
likely
to
improve
school
attendance
and
achieve
higher
academic
success.
O
So
if
you'd
like
to
know
more
about
our
agency
and
the
work
we're
doing
in
the
community
to
end
youth
homelessness,
you
can
visit
our
website
at
billwilsoncenter.org
and,
if
you
know
of
a
young
person
who
is
homeless,
please
refer
them
to
us.
We
accept
clients
from
all
over
the
county
and
our
staff
are
trained
to
treat
youth
with
respect
and
empathy,
as
we
put
them
on
the
road
to
self-sufficiency.
C
M
Yeah,
I
have
a
couple
slides,
but
I
can
start
right
now,
while
heather's
getting
that
started.
Okay,
so
I'll
start,
my
own
timer
good
evening,
mayor
command,
council
members,
I'm
albert
jeans,
long-time
resident
of
sierra
leone
estates
in
mountain
view.
Tonight.
I
would
like
to
draw
your
attention
to
a
rapidly
deteriorating
situation
near
my
neighborhood.
M
The
western
part
of
terrible
avenue
has
always
been
the
envy
of
those
of
us
who
live
east
of
charlotte
boulevard,
because
no
street
parking
is
allowed
there
from
2
a.m
to
6
a.m,
and
they
have
signs
up
there.
It's
that's
how
it's
always
been.
This
has
kept
this
street
in
a
light
industrial
zone
safe
and
clean
for
as
long
as
I
can
remember,
however,
three
weeks
ago,
two
oversized
vehicles
parked
there,
one
of
which
was
not
motorized.
M
M
Clearly,
the
lack
of
parking
enforcement
has
encouraged
more
vehicles
to
park
there,
and
the
situation
will
only
get
worse,
as
word
gets
out,
and
parking
on
narrow
streets
becomes
more
restricted
by
the
way
this
street
is
more
than
40
feet
wide.
So
it's
not
a
narrow
street,
but
it
does
have
these
no
overnight
parking
signs.
M
Therefore,
I
urge
the
city
to
promptly
address
this
problem
before
it
gets
totally
out
of
control
by
the
way
on
my
way
to
this
west
terrible,
I
rode
my
bike
on
east
trail.
Bilbo
tarabelle
and
counted
24
oversized
vehicles
parked
there.
So
thank
you
for
listening
and
I
hope
you
know
we
can
do
something
about
this.
P
P
P
P
This
was
all
to
due
to
false
allegations
of
child
molestation
in
an
inadequate
investigation
by
mountain
view,
police
in
the
course
of
only
three
and
two
thirds
years,
the
city
of
mountain
view,
racked
up
three
major
civil
rights
violations
related
to
inadequate
investigations.
By
mountain
view,
police
department
of
alleged
child
sexual
abuse.
P
These
cases
have
cost
the
city
tremendously,
both
in
terms
of
actual
legal
costs
and
settlements,
but
also
moral,
standing
and
prestige.
The
residents
of
mountain
view
deserve
better
and
they
deserve
and
should
expect
concrete
actions
from
this
council
to
know
what
they
and
their
police
department
are
doing
to
correct
things.
P
P
Furthermore,
we
all
know
of
cases
in
which
autistic
developmentally
delayed
and
intellectually
disabled
youth
have
been
brutalized
or
even
killed
by
police.
I
do
not
want
this
happening
in
my
son's
town,
and
I
expect
this
city
council
to
take
meaningful
and
constructive
actions
to
fix
the
mvpd
and
right.
The
wrongs
done
by
the
mountain
view,

department.
Q
Evening,
city,
council,
my
name
is
kevin
ma
a
six-month
resident
of
the
city.
I
was
not
intending
to
speak,
but
I'll
give
a
reaction
to
what
albert
just
posted
is
that,
fundamentally
as
good
citizens,
we
should
not
be
tattling
on
people
who
have
been
trying
to
live
in
our
communities
as
you've,
probably
seen
in
the
2019
homeless.
Point
in
time
count
the
81
of
people
who
are
homeless
in
this
county
came
from
this
county.
Q
They
were
priced
out
of
their
homes
or
had
some
other
incidents
that
led
them
to
be
unable
to
afford
rent
or
keep
their
homes.
Maybe
foreclosure
crisis,
maybe
just
for
other
costly
reasons
as
we
live
in
the
society,
but
people
want
to
be
in
the
places
they've
always
been,
and
if
that
means,
they'd
have
to
be
an
arby's,
so
be
it.
Q
Q
We
should
not
be
punching
down
on
those
who
are
trying
to
you
got
a
living
in
the
you
know
the
wealthiest
wealthiest
cities
in
america,
and
if
anything,
we
should
be
exploring
parking
throughout
the
city
to
figure
out
whether
they
are
as
arbitrary
as
probably
are.
Why
are
some
streets
locked
out
two
to
six
without
an
ordinance?
Why
are
some
streets
just
like
no
parking
at
all
this
pro?
This
came
up
during
the
life
moves
discussion
about
like.
Q
Q
Can
afford
to
be,
can
afford
to
be
luxurious
at
a
time
where
so
many
other
people
are
suffering
and
that
we
should
be
putting
our
efforts
on
our
resources
to
make
sure
that
people
who
are
living
in
cars,
who
are
living
in
tents
who
are
living
on
the
streets
have
a
place
to
be,
and
whether
that
means
that
we
should
just
not
you
know,
sick
cops
on
rvs
and
so
be
it.
Thank
you.
C
Okay,
all
right.
That
concludes
public
comment,
so
we
can
move
back
to
item
six,
which
is
a
public
hearing.
The
first
item
up
is
item
6.1
our
food
service.
Where
ordinance
solid
waste
program,
analyst
aaron
brewster
will
present
the
report.
Solid
waste
program
manager,
jennifer
cutter
and
public
works
director.
Don
cameron
will
also
be
available
for
questions,
and
I
see
erin
is
over.
E
R
Please
bear
with
us
we're
having
some
audio
difficulties.
Oh.
S
T
U
C
U
Sure
so
I
will
speak
right
into
the
microphone.
U
Okay,
fantastic
before
reviewing
the
ordnance,
I
want
to
emphasize
the
three
main
reasons
for
regulating
disposable
food.
Wear
first
is
to
reduce
landfilled
waste
from
single-use
plastics.
Nearly
all
single-use
plastic
food
wear
is
not
recyclable
in
mountain
view's
program
or
elsewhere.
U
U
U
Since
then,
council
approved
the
zero
waste
policy
and
zero
waste
plan
which
provide
direction
on
further
reducing
the
use
of
disposable
food
wear,
especially
plastic.
The
zero
waste
plan
includes
two
phases
of
food.
Rare
packaging
reduction
and
the
recommended
ordinance
implements
some
phase.
One
measures
separate
phases
allow
time
for
the
development
of
infrastructure
to
support
reusable
food
wear
and
avoid
overburdening
businesses.
U
U
U
U
It
would
require
disposable
food
wear
to
be
made
of
compostable
natural
fibers
and
certified
pfas
free
or
made
entirely
of
recyclable
aluminum,
while
not
mandated
by
this
ordinance.
We
do
promote
reusable
food
wear
as
the
best
option.
This
will
be
addressed
more
fully
in
phase
two
of
the
zero
waste
plan
measures.
U
U
There
are
potential
cost
savings
by
providing
accessories
only
upon
request
for
businesses
that
do
not
already
have
this
practice.
As
shown
here,
businesses
can
further
reduce
the
amount
of
disposable
items
used
by
switching
to
reusable
food.
Wear
for
dine
and
service,
resulting
in
ongoing
cost
savings
city
will
have
a
technical
assistance
program
available
next
year
to
assist
food
providers
ready
to
make
this
transition.
U
U
U
Staff
received
public
comments
requesting
to
include
single-use
plastic
bags
in
our
foodware
ordinance.
However,
these
items
are
regulated
separately
through
the
city's
reusable
bag,
ordinance
and
state
law,
so
the
existing
restrictions
do
not
apply
to
cert
to
restaurants
or
certain
other
food
providers.
U
The
city
can
expand
regulation
of
plastic
bags
in
areas
not
covered
by
state
law,
but
the
zero
waste
plan
does
not
currently
include
addressing
these
gaps.
Therefore,
we
are
seeking
direction
from
council
to
consider
adding
this
item
to
our
existing
work
plan,
which
calls
for
an
analysis
of
other
potential
amendments
to
the
reusable
bag.
Ordinance
such
as
adjusting
the
bagsy.
U
C
Great
thanks
so
much
does
any
member
of
the
council
have
any
questions.
A
I
remember
that
one
of
the
reasons
for
the
single-use
plastic
bag
ordinance
was
that
there
was
a
lot
of
down
time
at
the
smart
station
with
plastic
bags
getting
into
the
equipment
and
really
just
jamming
it,
and
I
wondered
if
that's
still
a
factor
with
the
with
the
use
of
plastic
bags
at
restaurants.
That's
pervasive!
U
We
can
certainly
check
with
the
smart
station
about
how
frequently
that
is
occurring.
I
know
that
during
the
covid
pandemic
we
did
see
an
increase
in
plastic
bag,
use
as
many
retailers
that
are
covered
by
the
ordinance
stopped,
allowing
people
to
bring
their
own
reusable
bags.
So
that
may
have
impacted
that
as
well,
but
we
can
check
for
you.
A
So
we
really
might
not
know
because
of
the
what
the
pandemic,
whether
I
mean
we
have
a
different
baseline
right
now
anyway,
I
was
just
gonna,
also
offer
that
that
I
know
at
the
water
district,
where
I
worked
when
the
plastic
bag
ban
went
into
effect,
it
made
an
immediate
difference
in
our
waterways,
the
amount
of
trash
that
was
found
there.
That
would
had
been
plastic
bags
before
just
went
practically
to
zero.
It
was
really
quite
beneficial,
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
the
fact.
A
You
know
that
that
that
the
the
ban
had
worked
it
did
you
know
and
cleaning
up
the
waterways,
which
was
one
of
the
the
you
know
the
desires
it
it
did.
That.
C
All
right,
I
am
not
seeing
any
so
I'll
move
on
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,
we'll
display
a
two-minute
timer
and
we
have
one
hand

I'm
just
waiting
for
the
timer
bruce
just
a
moment.

Plastic
pollution
and
climate
change
are
parallel:
global
emergencies
for
our
society
to
move
away
from
a
reliance
on
fossil
fuels
and
reduce
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
associated
with
them.
We
must
also
reduce
our
production
and
consumption
of
plastic
products.
Market
research
shows
that
the
use
of
single-use
disposable
plastic
items
is
increasing.
N
C
Great,
thank
you.
Next
is
kevin
ma.
Q
Hello
again,
I
like
to
echo
all
what
bruce
has
said
to
give
more
some
personal
background,
I'm
with
the
unitarian
university
of
palo
alto,
which
has
proposed
a
plastic
policy
to
try
to
get
rid
of.
You
know
single-use
plastics,
but
we
found
that
to
be
incredibly
difficult
in
the
area
just
because
you
know
kobe
now,
with
standing
everything
if
not
mandated
is
just
going
to
be
plastics,
so
it
is
at
the
time
where
it
has
become
public
policy
via
ordinances
like
this,
so
that
we
can
create
a
world.
Q
C
Hey,
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
to
raise
so
I'll
bring
this
item
back
for
council
deliberation
and
action
and
note
that
a
motion
to
approve
the
recommendation
should
also
include
reading
the
title
of
the
ordinance
that's
being
introduced.
Councilmember
hicks.
J
I'm
strongly
in
support
of
of
this
ordinance
for,
and
I
think
for
two
reasons:
one
are
the
sustainability
reasons
that
bruce
carney
detailed
much
better
than
I
can
so
I
won't
repeat
them,
but
the
other
one
that
staff
also
recognized
and
that
I
thought
I'd
add
a
little
detail
to
is
the
health
reasons
when
I
recently
took
nutrition
classes
for
cancer
therapy.
J
They
emphasized
how
bad
plastics
are
and
plastic
containers
are
for
one's
health,
and
I
really
hadn't
known
the
extent
of
it
before
so
I
I
hope
that
in
the
education
we
do
around,
I
hope
this
ordinance
passes
and
that
in
the
education
we
do
around
it,
we
emphasize
both
the
health
of
the
planet
and
the
health
of
the
people
of
ourselves
involved.
J
I
know
different
people
are
motivated
by
different
things,
so
I
think
putting
both
of
those
together
should
be
very
motivating,
and
then
I
was
just
going
to
add
that
one
of
the
things
that
staff
talked
about
was
the
financial
impacts
to
restaurants,
and
I
I
would
really
like
to
encourage
our
outreach
to
be
impart
positive
in
nature,
because
I
know
I'll
be.
J
I
am
much
less
likely
to
order
out,
because
I,
because
of
the
amount
of
of
plastics
that
collects
around
my
house
and
that
I
eat
off
of
and
feel
is
unhealthy,
and
when
I
talk
to
friends
and
neighbors,
they
feel
the
same
way.
So
I
think
you
know
advertising
yourself,
I'm
hoping
that
restaurants
will
see
this
as
a
positive
thing
and
will
you
know
maybe
even
embrace
it
earlier
than
they
have
to,
because
I
think
an
additional
financial
impact
may
be
that
they
get
more
customers.
H
J
Although
I
would
like,
if,
since
I
think
it's
a
very
important
thing,
I
would
like
to
hear
comments
from
other
council
members
as
well.
J
Make
a
motion
for
both
staff
recommendations.
D
V
J
J
So
I
will
be
introducing
an
ordinance
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
repealing
and
replacing
article
5
of
chapter
16
of
the
mountain
view,
city
code
related
to
food
service.
Well,
where
to
be
read,
entitled
only
further
reading
waived
and
set
a
second
reading
for
december
14th
with
section
16.96
as
amended
by
staff,
and
then
I
would
also
like
to
direct
staff
to
explore
the
amendment
regarding
the
reusable
bag.
Ordinance.
C
E
C
Great,
thank
you
so
we'll
move
on
to
item
6.2,
which
is
our
mandatory
organic
waste
disposal,
reduction,
ordinance
and
we'll
have
a
solid
waste
program
manager.
Jennifer
cutter
will
present
the
report
assistant
public
works,
director,
damian,
skinner
and
public
works
director.
Don
cameron
will
also
be
available
for
questions.
R
R
R
It
places
requirements
on
many
community
stakeholders
that
are
shown
here
separate
from
the
ordinance.
There
are
other
provisions
the
city
must
meet,
such
as
providing
organic
waste
collection
services
I'll
start
with
an
overview
of
the
ordinance
requirements
for
stakeholders
and
then
discuss
the
city's
responsibilities.
R
R
R
R
R
Most
cities
are
not
yet
sure
how
to
meet
this
requirement.
Staff
is
researching
all
options,
including
resident
compost,
giveaway
events
and
potential
regional
partnerships
for
recycled
content
paper
products.
The
city
has
an
existing
policy
that
directs
employees
to
purchase
recycled
content
products
when
feasible
in
alignment
with
this
new
state
law.
R
The
city
or
its
designee
must
establish
an
edible
food
recovery
program,
conduct
business,
outreach
document,
food
recovery
activities
and
report
to
the
state.
The
city
is
participating
in
a
regional
approach
led
by
santa
clara
county,
to
provide
consistency
for
edible
food
generators
and
food
recovery
organizations
across
jurisdictional
boundaries.
R
In
2022
and
2023,
the
city
and
ecology
will
distribute
educational
resources
to
help
businesses
and
residents
and
other
stakeholders
to
understand
the
new
requirements
and
provide
technical
support
for
compliance,
starting
in
2024.
The
state
directs
the
city
to
provide
official
warnings
and
then
enforcement
penalties
to
non-compliant
entities.
R
C
Great,
thank
you.
Does
any
member
of
the
council
have
a
question.
J
I
just
wanted
a
little
more
clarity
on
how
the
annual
audits
or
the
any
kind
of
inspection
will
proceed,
because
I've
had
I've
had
questions
both
from
from
people
in
apartments
and
people
working
for
restaurants,
about
how
that's
employees
working
for
restaurants,
not
those
in
charge.
R
Definitely
I
just
wanted
to
first
emphasize
that
we
are
required
by
the
state
to
conduct
the
enforcement,
but
we're
going
to
be
starting
out
for
the
first
two
years
in
2022
and
2023,
with
doing
a
lot
of
outreach
to
try
to
help
businesses
and
multi-family
complexes
to
gain
compliance.
R
So
in
terms
of
what
that's
going
to
entail,
the
city
is
going
to
be
required
to
have
route
inspections
done,
which
we
will
be
using
the
hauler
broncology,
primarily
to
help
conduct
those
route
audits.
So
they're
going
to
be
looking
in
the
containers
for
all
sectors
to
observe,
if
there's
any
contaminants
and
then
we're
going
to
be
educating
via
cart,
tags
and
direct
communication
to
those
accounts
to
let
them
know
what
materials
are
allowed
in
the
container
and
then
after
those
warnings
is
when
we
would
have
to
issue
penalties.
R
J
Okay,
I'm
thank
you,
I'm
very
interested
in
that,
because
I've
had,
as
I
said,
I've
had
both
residents
of
apartments
and
workers
in
restaurants,
who
feel
they're
powerless
to
make
the
change
themselves
or
even
ask
for
it,
hoping
that
the
the
city
will
be
able
to
enforce
it
audit
and
and
enforce.
So.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
any
other
questions
from
council
members
all
right,
not
seeing
any
I'll
move
on
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
in
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone,
we'll
display
a
2
minute
timer
and
we
have
bruce
carney.
N
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
usually
try
to
limit
myself
to
two
comments
per
council
session,
but
tonight
I
may
have
to
go
to
four,
because
you
have
so
many
interesting,
environmentally
sustainable
topics
on
your
agenda
tonight.
This
item,
which
is
a
state
law,
so
that
sort
of
simplifies
things.
This
all
was
also
a
recommendation
of
estf2.
N
Three
and
a
half
years
ago
we
called
it
recommendation
w5,
expand
mountain
view's
composting
program
to
all
residential
and
commercial
properties.
It
essentially
encompasses
what
jennifer
has
recommended.
So
I'm
strongly
in
support
of
this
and
I'm
sure
that
our
task
force
would
well
have
been
in
support.
Also
I'm
personally
a
user
of
the
excellent
compost
at
the
the
smart
station.
It's
helped
turn
the
adobe
clay
soil
in
my
yard,
into
something
you
can
actually
grow
vegetables
in.
N
I
wanted
to
mention
that
if
mountain
view
goes
ahead
with
this,
we
would
not
be
the
first
local
community
to
do
so.
Stanford
and
the
city
of
san
francisco
have
had
very
aggressive,
edible
and
compostable
recycling
programs
for
many
many
years,
and
so
we
would
just
be
catching
up.
So
I
encourage
you
to
say
yes
to
this
excellent
proposal.
W
Yes,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
yeah,
my
name
is
serge
bond,
I'm
a
mountain
view
resident,
so
I
I
support
the
the
you
know.
Obviously
these
type
of
programs
plus
you
know,
as
bruce
carney
mentioned-
that's
hello,
but
I
I
have
some
some
some
qualms
about
the
the
way
the
ordinance
seems
to
be
treating
residents
differently
in
mountain
view
when
they
live
in
a
single
family
homes
where,
as
opposed
to
in
a
multi
family
residents.
W
First,
I
think
it's
it's
pretty
clear.
You
know
from
my
own
experience
that
not
too
many
people
in
multiple
family
residents
have
access
to
compost
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
So
I
think
that
needs
to
be
more
educations
and
more
involvement
from
the
city
to
to
to
make
it
accessible
to
to
all
these
residents.
W
But
then,
if
you
look
at
the
ordinance,
it's
pretty
much
all
the
sticks
that
you
have
you
know
on
in
terms
of
requirements
in
terms
of
inspection,
enforcements,
they've
all
fall
onto
a
multi-family
residence.
None
of
them
are
for
single-family
res
residents.
So
I
think
it's
you.
W
You
need
to
do
a
better
job,
so
if
you
want
to
inspect
and
enforce
you
know
compliance,
you
should
do
it
also
for
single
family
homes,
and
there
is
also
requirements
to
notify
tenants,
but
it's
only
of
the
regulations
and
it's,
but
it's
only
for
multi-family
units.
Many
single-family
homes
are
rented
every
long
term
or
shorten
their
airbnb,
and
they
should
be
a
requirement
to
to
to
notify
your
tenants,
even
if
it's
just
for
a
weekend
on
airbnb.
Thank
you.
C
G
Thank
you
mary.
I
don't
see
any
other
hands,
so
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion
to
introduce
an
ordinance
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
adding
article
6
of
chapter
16
of
the
mountain,
obviously
code
to
mandate,
organic
waste
disposal
reduction
to
be
read
in
title
only
for
the
reading
waived
and
set
a
second
reading
for
december
14th
2021,
and
thank
you
to
staff
for
all
of
your
hard
work
on
this
item.
Thank
you.
A
Seconding
the
motion-
and
I
also
wanted
to
bring
up
that-
that
this
is
one
of
those
things
that
is
going
to
require
a
lot
of
assistance.
I
mean
they're
they're
we're
going
to
be
converting.
I
think
I
think
you
said
jennifer.
You
said
there
were
80
multi-family
housing
units
now
in
the
program
and
there's
something
like
600
in
our
community.
So
that's
a
lot
of
apartment
complexes
that
have
to
come
on
board
and
there
will
be
many
opportunities
for
volunteers
to
help
with
this.
A
I'm
sure,
as
well
as
the
staff
is
going
to
be
very,
very
busy.
So
I
just
would
urge
all
of
us
to
you
know
over
time.
Use
our
you
know
our
social
media
and
our
talking
to
people
to
outlets,
to
to
encourage
this,
because
it's
something
that
that
each
of
us
will
you
know
will
need
to
not
only
carry
out
but
kind
of
be
be
messengers
for
and
but
anyway.
A
Thank
you
very
much
to
to
the
staff
for
this
work
and
to
the
sustainability
task
force
and
and
also
to
the
the
technical
advisory
committee
on
the
county,
wise
technical
advisory
committee
on
solid
waste
that
that
that
brings
together.
Many
of
the
programs
for
all
the
all
the
communities
in
our
county.
C
E
X
H
X
And
there
we
go,
hopefully
people
can
see
this
awesome.
So
this
item
is
some
minor
east
wism
and
precise
plan
and
zoning
code.
Amendments.
X
X
It
allows
certain
exemptions
from
the
jobs,
housing
linkage
program
for
some
projects
and
limitations
for
partnerships
for
other
projects,
and
also
allowing
flexibility
on
bmr
requirements
for
residential
projects
to
ensure
that
they
stay
engaged
with
the
tdr
program.
X
In
addition,
we're
taking
this
opportunity
to
bring
some
minor
typos
and
map
corrections
to
in
the
east
wisconsin
precise
plan
to
council
for
correction.
We
are
also
bringing
forward
some
minor
code
amendments
to
the
affordable
housing
section
of
the
zoning
code.
Firstly,
to
support
flexibility
for
precise
plans
to
supersede
the
code.
X
This
is
necessary
for
the
previously
mentioned
council
direction,
but
also
to
ensure
that
the
north
base
or
precise
plan,
affordable
housing
guidelines
can
be
implemented
as
well,
and
we
are
also
doing
a
minor
cleanup
amendment
to
ensure
that
affordable,
100,
affordable
projects
are
not
required
to
comply
with
parts
of
the
code
that
they're
not
intended
to
to
have
to
comply
with,
such
as
providing
multiple
income
levels,
the
epc
recommended
approval
and
the
airport
land
communities.
Commission
found
it
consistent
with
the
club.
X
That
is
the
request
for
counsel
tonight.
Here's
a
lot
of
words
on
the
screen
that
we
are
recommending
that
you
say
tonight
and
look
forward
to
your
questions
and
discussion.
Thank
you.
C
All

I
am
not

on
this
as
well,
so
I'll
bring
the
item
back
for
council
deliberation

action

for
this
motion
we'll
need

Z
Z
The
majority
of
mountain
view's
water
comes
from
the
san
francisco
regional
water
system,
sourced
primarily
from
the
tuolumne
river
mountain
view.
Also,
purchases
water
from
the
santa
clara
valley,
water
district,
operates
local
groundwater
wells
and
receives
recycled
water
from
the
regional
water
quality
control
plant
in
palo
alto.
Z
Z
C
Great
great,
thank
you.
Does
any
member
of
the
council
have
any
questions.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
this
to
us
and
and
putting
together
a
very
well
researched
report.
There's
lots
of
good
information,
and
I
was
particularly
interested
in
the
the
the
state
boards
action.
That's
unprecedented.
I
never
heard
of
that
before.
It's
really
really
an
amazing
decision
for
them
to
make
to
protect
the
habitat
of
of
the
delta.
Anyway,
I
wanted
to
ask
about
ways
that
mountain
view
residents
can
can
know
how
much
water
they've
saved.
A
You
know
I,
when
I
get
my
water
bill,
it
reports
how
what
my
water
use
was
for
the
previous
two
months.
You
know
it's
so
it's
two
months
in
a
rear,
so
I
can't
you
know
I
I
and
and
the
and
the
weather
changes
a
lot,
so
the
water
that
we
need
to
use
outdoors
is
very
different.
You
know
two
months
down
the
road
than
it
was
the
previous
two
months
really
throughout
the
whole
year.
A
So
I
I
find
that
this
is
a
big
problem
and
I'm
I'm
wondering
if
I
know
that
we
don't
have
meters.
We
don't
have
a
way
to
to
get
this
information
out
to
people
very
rapidly
on
an
individual
basis.
What
other
things
can
we
offer.
Z
Thank
you,
councilmember
showalter,
yes,
the
city
does
only
read
our
water
meters
for
residential
accounts
every
two
months,
which
can
make
it
difficult,
certainly
to
track
your
real-time
water
use,
and
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
focus
in
particular
on
activities
that
use
water.
So
what
we're
asking
customers
to
do
right
now
is
to
reduce
irrigation.
Z
We
have
had
a
a
wet
winter,
the
last
wet
couple
of
weeks,
so
people
have
turned
off
irrigation,
but
but
if
that
doesn't
continue,
we
encourage
people
to
to
be
mindful,
in
particular
of
their
irrigation.
A
Do
we
have
a
program
to
get
meters
that
are
there?
There
was
a
program.
I
thought
we
discussed
years
ago
about
in
a
very
slow
way.
Getting
meters
changed
what
happened
with
that,
so
that
you
would
have
real-time
data.
Z
Yeah
we
do
have
about
half
of
the
city
is
deployed
with
a
certain
version
of
smart
meters,
and
it
allows
our
meter
readers
to
collect
the
reeds
by
driving
by
instead
of
walking
by
and
in
in
cases
where
customers
call.
If
they
have
a
leak,
we
can
go
and
we
can
get
the
hourly
water
use
data,
and
we
will
do
that
one
or
two
times
as
a
courtesy
to
help
them
assist
customers
in
their
leak
detection.
A
Well,
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful.
I
know
it's
not
something
we
can
do
on
the
fly
but
long-term.
I
I.
I
think
that
it
would
be
very
helpful
for
people
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I
know
that
there
are
meters
that
you
can
buy
on
flow
meters.
I
think
they
cost
almost
400
a
piece
that
allow
you
to
regulate
your
your,
your
your
irrigation
from
your
phone
and
and
also
tell
you
about
your
water
use.
But
that's
you
know,
that's
just
on
an
individual
basis.
A
It
would
be
all
it
would
be
interesting
to
have
us.
You
know
a
program
where
to
look
into
a
program
where
we
could
could
we
buy
something
like
that
in
mass,
for
people
I
mean
is
this:
would
that
be
helpful
in
addition
to
a
system
that
you're
talking
about
will
be
online
in
a
number
of
years?.
Z
Yeah,
we
have
done
several
pilot
studies
over
the
last
10
years.
One
of
the
difficulties
we
encountered.
Where
was
that
the
technology
didn't
perform
as
well
as
we
liked,
but
in
this
last
round
of
of
pilot
programs,
we
did
identify
technology
that
we
were
happy
with,
and
so
that's
why
we've
been
looking
at
at
this
cip
to
possibly
convert
the
city
over
a
large
portion
of
the
city
over
to
what
we
call
advanced
metering
and
that
would
provide
hourly
data
through
through
a
portal
for
customers.
Z
Well,
it
has
not
been
scheduled
yet
so
I
can
certainly
touch
base
with
lisa
and
don
and
we
can
try
to
get
you
some
more
specific
information
about
when
a
rollout
of
a
program
like
that
might
be
possible.
A
Okay,
so
you're
in
the
research
still
okay,
good
all
right!
Well,
yes,
keep
please
keep
us
posted.
I
think
that
that
the
programs
that
will
provide
us
with
short-term
feedback
on
on
water
use
would
be
very
helpful.
C
C
G
You
mayor,
I
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion.
I
didn't
see
other
hands,
but
hopefully
counselor
show.
Walter
is
going
to
second
position,
but
I
would
like
to
make
the
motion
to
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council,
the
city
of
mountain
view,
declaring
the
existence
of
a
stage
one
water
shortage,
emergency
condition
and
directing
implementation
of
stage
one
water
demand
reduction
measures
and,
let's
hope,
for
a
wet
winter.
A
Shellwalter
and
yes,
I
would
like
to
second
it
and
also
in
item
eight,
I'm
going
to
be
giving
a
a
report
on
our
recycled
water
committee,
which
is
about
something
that
we're
doing
to
to
help
with
drought-proof
supplies.
C
L
I've
actually
been
contacted
by
a
number
of
constituents
who
have
asked
why
why
this
step
wasn't
already
being
taken,
and
I
I
think
that
it
shows
that
our
community
in
mountain
view,
is
very
water
conscious,
and
I
think
that
this
will
be
a
very
helpful
step
in
increasing
that
behavior
and
it's
something
that
is
is
very
necessary
moving
water
equals
energy
and
that
that
adds
to
our
climate
crisis.
L
And
so
I
want
to
join
others
in
in
thanking
staff
for
putting
these
steps
together,
because
this
really
does
make
a
difference
for
our
community
and
the
wider
environment.
C
Great,
thank
you.
Any
other
council
members
like
to
say
anything
all
right,
not
seeing
any.
I
think
we'll
we'll
ask
for
the
roll
cover.

Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
tonight
we
are
discussing
the
downtown
parking
strategy.
The
parking
strategy
work
began
in
august
of
2020,
with
nelson
nygard
to
develop
a
comprehensive
strategy
in
may
2021
city
council,
discussed
and
agreed
with
the
proposed
framework
principles
and
solutions
and
recommended
a
multi-faceted
approach
to
address
the
parking
shortfall.
The
next
few
slides
will
be
a
quick
refresher
on
the
council,
approved
gold
and
early
findings.
AA
During
the
development
of
the
strategy,
input
was
collected
from
key
stakeholders,
including
residents,
businesses,
developers
and
visitors.
Perceptions
were
that
parking
is
inadequate
and
customers
need
assistance
in
finding
parking
parking
management
is
a
problem
and
resulting
in
spillover
in
residential
areas.
Businesses
are
not
sure
of
what
the
next
normal
will
be
after
covet
19..
AA
AA
As
a
reminder,
there
are
six
guiding
principles
of
the
downtown
parking
strategy.
A
comprehensive
package
to
support
the
recovery
of
near
of
covet
19
in
the
near
term
and
guide
growth
and
development
in
the
long
term
provide
an
equitable
balance
of
public
costs
and
benefits
to
meet
the
efficient
needs
of
everyone
who
lives,
works
and
visits
downtown
efficiently.
Manage
the
existing
public
parking
supply,
be
flexible
to
support
downtown
growth,
aligned
with
city
sustainability
goals
and
last
support.
AA
The
vision
of
a
vibrant,
accessible,
walkable
and
bikeable
downtown
implementation
of
the
strategy
is
broken
into
four
strategy
types,
management,
supply,
zoning
and
regulations,
and
accessibility
and
mobility
management
and
supply
support
the
parking
demand.
While
zoning
and
mobility
can
influence
the
market
for
parking,
there
are
18
strategies
and
82
implementation
action
items
identified
in
this
strategy.
AA
AA
AA
C
Great,
thank
you.
So
much
does
any
member
of
the
council
have
any
questions.
B
T
B
Great
thank
you.
I
should
have
sent
this
one
in,
but
I
didn't
think
about
it
at
the
time
this
question:
do
we
have
any
data
on
the
utilization
of
bike
racks
downtown?
B
B
Some
of
the
parking
was
going
to
parking
areas
were
going
to
be
categorized
as
like
premium
versus
value,
and
in
looking
at
the
map
I
was,
I
guess,
I
kind
of
had
a
different
perspective
on
maybe
what
should
be
premium
and
what
should
be
value-
and
I
was
wondering,
was
that
the
final
map
I
think
it
was
on-
I
saw
it
on
page
36
of
I
think
it's
attachment
one
or
was
more
work.
Gonna
be
done
on
that.
T
I
think
this
could
be
responded
to
by
one
of
the
consultants
phil.
Would
you
sure.
AB
Yeah
good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
council,
can
you
all
hear
me,
okay,
great
good,
to
see
you
all
again
great
question.
So
this
is
not
final.
This
is
one
potential
recommendation.
AB
What
we
as
looking
at
the
data
that
we
saw
from
the
study,
both
historic
utilization
data
as
well
as
data
that
we
collected
during
the
study
as
what
appeared
to
us
to
be
kind
of
the
distinction
between
premium
and
value.
But
this
would
be
very
much
something
that
you
know
could
be
revised
as
a
paid
parking
program
is
rolled
out,
certainly
as
more
data
is
collected,
but
it
is
up
for
discussion
and
further
consideration
with
with
y'all
and
the
community.
B
So
you
said
you
did
look
at
utilization
when
figuring
out
premium
versus
value.
AB
Correct
yeah,
so
we
caught,
we
looked
at
historic
data
from
previous
studies
prior
to
covid,
as
well
as
some
of
the
data
feeds
from
the
city
that
the
city
collects
on
an
ongoing
basis,
and
then
we
also
went
out
and
collected
data.
AB
I
believe
during
I'm
trying
to
remember
the
exact
timing.
I
think
it
was
october
november
of
2020
and
that
also
informed
some
of
the
some
of
the
recommendations.
B
Okay,
let's
see.
AB
Yeah,
so
the
mobility
wallet
is
a
concept
that
we've
seen
be
really
successful
in
other
communities.
Portland
in
particular
has
adopted
a
program
where
they
give
a
mobility,
what
they
call
a
mobility
wallet.
Basically
discounted
package
of
subsidized
mobility
pro
so
a
transit
pass
bike
share
in
portland
ride
hill
e-scooter,
and
they
distribute
that
not
only
to
employees
within
the
downtown
or
within
the
district
in
which
the
mobility
wallet
is
offered,
but
also
residents,
and
what
they've
seen
from
the
data
and
what
they've
shown
is.
AB
It's
been
successful,
particularly
in
their
responding
to
some
of
their
conditions
that
they
have
in
terms
of
reducing
overall
parking
demand,
so
residents
actually
giving
up
that
second
car,
which
frees
up
a
freeze
up
a
space
either
in
their
building
or
on
the
street.
If
they're
parking
on
the
street
and
they've
actually
seen
a
fair
number
of
residents
give
up
in
in
their
lo
this
location
residential
permit
parking,
because
they
don't
have
that
second
car
they
they've,
found
that
they
can
now
get
around
with
these
other
mobility
options.
B
I
was
also
wondering
kind
of
like
the
next
steps
for
all
of
this,
so
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
city
manager
about
this,
and
I
was
wondering:
does
any
of
this
come
back
to
the
council?
Clearly
we
saw
some
things
were
coming
back
to
us
and
I
kind
of
assume
if
we
need
to
allocate
additional
money
or
there's
an
ordinance
or
an
amendment
to
the
zoning
or
a
precise
plan,
or
something
like
that.
It
would
come
back
to
us
because
I
feel
like
maybe
there
are
some
things.
B
T
T
Many
of
these
will
need
council
input
in
terms
of
ordinances,
for
example,
downtown
precise
plan
phase
2
when
it
comes
back
on
the
council's
work
plan
would
address
some
of
the
zoning
and
other
regulations,
or
if
you
move
forward
the
parking
administrator
position,
we
would
come
back
for
funding
and
really
the
idea
is
if
we
do
come
back.
I
think
we'll
certainly
provide
information,
even
if
the
council
doesn't
have
to
specifically
make
a
decision.
T
So
you
could
see
the
package
that's
coming
forward
and
and
how
we're
starting
to
implement
that
so
there'll,
be
you
know,
funding
requests
we
might
tackle
some
in
terms
of
you
know
precise
plans
or
ordinance
amendments.
For
example,
we
are
planning
to
do
a
tdm
ordinance
and
that
will
come
back
to
council.
So
you'll
see
elements
of
this
come
back
in
various
in
various
parts.
T
Okay
and
and
then
you
could
do
a
deep
dive
at
that
time
when,
when
we
start
tackling
these
projects
individually,
okay.
B
Great
and
then
one
last
question
based
upon
the
council
q
a
and
that
somebody
sent
in
the
question
about
the
cost
of
utilization
of
valet
parking,
and
I
feel
like
that.
Question
was
asked
before
by
the
council
and
we
determined
that
it
actually
was
less
than
what
was
stated
and
I
went
back
and
found
it
and
it
had
the
same
answer
as
this
one.
So
I'm
wondering
was
this
really,
let's
see,
I
can't
find
what
page
it's
on.
B
T
That
ring
a
bell
to
anybody.
Well,
I
you
know,
I
think
the
best
way
to
respond
to
that
is
tiffany,
since
she
has
been
involved
with
providing
information
on
that.
I
know
we
also
took
another
look
at
this
for
tonight
and
you
can
give
you
the
update.
AA
The
yearly
cost
of
running
the
valet
program
is
still
cheaper
than
the
cost
of
building
one
parking
space.
So
it
was,
the
intent
of
the
program
was
to
create
more
available
parking
more
in
the
immediate
future
and
also
let
the
city
test
the
program.
So
I
know
that
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
I
know
not
specifically,
but
I
just
wanted
to
also
provide
some
context
on
that.
B
Yeah,
so
I
appreciate
that
I,
you
know
I've
heard
a
lot
of
great
things
about
the
valet
parking
program,
so
I'm
not
necessarily
questioning
the
value
of
it,
but
I
think
I'm
gonna
see
if
I
can
go
back
and
listen
to
that
council
meeting
to
figure.
AA
B
Okay,
great,
I
think
that's
it
for
now,
thanks.
J
I
was
going
to
ask
a
similar
question
on
what
things
would
come
back
to
council,
so
I
think
that
one
was
mostly
answered
and
I
think,
but
so
I'll
just
add
that
I
think
that's
super
important,
not
just
for
the
reasons
that
council
matacek
kind
of
outlined
what
she
wants
to
weigh
in
on,
but
also
things
are
changing
rapidly
in
terms
of
car
use
with
we
don't
know
how
things
will
change
with
the
pen
pandemic,
hopefully
winding
down
and
response
to
climate
crisis
and
so
forth.
J
Its
changes
to
its
under
m6
on
page
13,
revising
and
modernizing
the
residential
parking
permit
program
also
described
as
updating
that
program
to
help
mitigate
parking
spillover
into
the
residential,
neighborhoods,
etc.
So
I've
seen
very
successful
residential
parking
programs
around
downtowns
recently,
so
I'm
very
interested
in.
Maybe
you
can
provide
more
detail
on
your
thoughts
on
how
to
modernize
it.
I
I
know
that
currently,
it's
mostly
a
resident
initiated
thing
involving
one
or
more
blocks
and
I'm
thinking
that's
not
appropriate.
J
For
you
know
it's
not
the
job
of
residents,
in
my
opinion,
to
to
organize
our
downtown
parking
strategy.
That
seems
it
may
work
in
other
neighborhoods,
but
not
adjacent
to
the
downtown.
So
I'm
very
interested
in
what
your
thoughts
are
on
on
how
to
revise
that
program
in
this
particular
space.
You
know
the
the
downtown.
T
Council,
member
hicks,
if
I
may
just
give
you
an
update,
the
public
works
department
has
already
begun
that
process
of
looking
at
the
residential
permit
parking
program
or
what
we
call
the
rpp,
and
I
believe
it's
expected
to
come
back
to
council
next
year,
sometime
in
march
or
april.
So
we
could
certainly
it
it's
not
an
item.
T
That's
going
to
specifically,
you
know,
we've
already
begun
work
on
it,
and-
and
I
don't
have
the
exact
specifics-
unless
maybe
public
works
director
don
cameron
is
here,
but
we
can
certainly
get
you
an
update
after
this
meeting
to
let
you
know
where
it
is
in
the
process
and
when
it's
expected
to
come
back
to
council.
J
So,
okay,
that
would
be
great.
Maybe
I
can
ask
the
question
in
a
slightly
different
way.
Are
the
updates
that
you're
working
on?
Are
you,
I
think
a
residential
permit
program
in
a
downtown
and
in
a
place
like
say,
mona,
loma
or
waverly
park
are
two
very
different
creatures,
so
on
one
they
serve
very
different
purposes.
J
So
I'm
wondering,
will
the
update,
as
you
understand
it,
will
it
be
different?
Is
it
are
you
envisioning
it
that
it
be
different
in
the
downtown
versus
neighborhoods
that
are
purely
residential.
T
I
believe
that
the
focus
of
it
is
to
try
to
take
some
of
the
burden
off
the
residence
right
now.
It
does
place
a
certain
burden
on
the
residents,
and
so
I
know
it's
working
its
way
through
the
council,
transportation
committee
and
and
that's
about
all,
I
know,
they're
going
to
look
at
a
pilot
program
to
start
with.
J
AB
Oh,
I
was
just
going
to
jump
in
and
offer
just
add
a
little
bit
of
flavor
to
that
yeah.
We
we
worked
closely
with
don
and
her
team
and
really
made
sure
that
the
strategy
is
syncing
up
with
the
latest
thinking
so,
as
artie
mentioned,
really
making
the
process
more
streamlined
and
easy
for
residents
to
initiate
or
start
up
an
rpp
one
of
the
things.
AB
As
we
talk
about
a
phase
plan,
there's
some
low
hanging
fruit
on
the
rpp
just
around
the
policies
that
could
apply
not
just
in
the
downtown
but
citywide,
but
when
we
think
a
little
bit
longer
term.
Some
of
the
most
successful
rpp
programs
in
many
cities
are
doing.
This
now
is
moving
things
digital,
so
really
reducing
the
the
administrative
burden
for
staff,
but
also
making
it
super
user
friendly
for
for
residents
to
sign
up
their
cars
change,
their
cars
and
all
that's
done
digitally
now.
AB
J
So
I
guess
I'll
just
ask
one
more
piece
of
this
question,
so
I
visited
cities
in
colorado
that
had
essentially
residential
parking
permit
programs
that
drove
a
lot
of
their
access
to
downtown
parking
for
restaurant
customers,
and
it
wasn't
something
that
was
implemented.
You
know
one
or
two
blocks
at
a
time
by
residents.
J
It
was
implemented
by
the
city
to
sort
of
blanket
the
whole
downtown
area
and
and
make
people
employees
park
in
their
underground
garages
or
make
sure
people
didn't
park
for
eight
to
twelve
hours
on
the
street
and
it
gave
residents
free
parking
permits.
I'm
wondering
if
anything,
a
larger
program
for
a
downtown
has
been
envisioned
at
all
at
this
point
or
if
we're
sticking
more
with
what
it
sounds
like
you're
talking
about,
which
is
streamlining
the
current
sort
of
small
small
program
initiated
by
neighborhood
residents,
as
opposed
to
a
full
downtown
strategy.
T
C
Great,
thank
you.
Any
other
council
members
have
any
questions
all
right,
not
seeing
any.
We
can
turn
it
over
to
public
comment.

the
screen.
C
Okay,
so
james,
we
still
don't
hear
you.
So
I
think
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
try
to
come
back
to
you
at
the
end,
and
hopefully
I
don't
know
if
you
have
to
connect
to
a
headset
or
something,
but
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
hear
you,
then
all
right
so
we'll
reset
the
timer
and
we'll
go
to
bruce
carney.
N
Thank
you,
mayor
commae.
Once
again,
this
is
an
item
the
council
is
considering,
which
was
recommended
by
the
sustainability
task
force.
Three
and
a
half
years
ago
we
called
it
recommendation
t6
restrict
parking
to
encourage
and
fund
alternative
modes
of
the
36
recommendations
from
the
task
force.
This
was
the
only
one
that
was
a
net
revenue
generator
for
the
city
of
mountain
view.
Essentially,
it's
a
paid
parking
recommendation.
N
There
were
five
points,
I'd
like
to
read
them
briefly.
The
first
was
implement
modest
fees
for
parking
in
downtown
public
lots
and
parking
structures
and
use
the
funds
collected
to
underwrite
investments
in
bicycle
and
ev
charging
infrastructure
point
two
charge
for
on-street
parking
downtown
point:
three
implement
neighborhood
parking
permits
for
a
modest
fee
number
four
unbundle
parking
from
rents
for
residential
and
commercial
tenants,
citywide
and
number
five
rent
parking
spaces
to
autonomous
ev
fleets
to
recharge
and
park
at
night.
N
Part
of
the
thinking
of
the
task
force
was
that
autonomous,
evs,
essentially
an
uber
without
a
driver
wasn't
that
far
away
and
when
it
came
into
force,
the
need
for
parking
would
really
diminish,
not
only
downtown
but
elsewhere.
So,
for
example,
instead
of
driving
to
castro
street
to
go
to
dinner,
you'd
take
an
autonomous,
ev
you'd
go
to
dinner,
but
the
ev
would
continue
to
circulate
and
not
park
and
then
you'd
call
another
one
when
it
was
time
to
go
home.
N
I
know
that
in
redwood
city
and
san
mateo
there
are
modest
charges
for
public
parking.
I
would
really
like
to
see
that
in
mountain
view
as
well.
I
think
that,
because
of
the
compact
size
of
our
city,
many
who
would
otherwise
drive
will
begin
to
bike
or
walk
to
downtown.
So
let's
do
what
we
can
to
make
that
happen.
Thank
you.
AC
Can
you
hear
me
yep,
honorable
mayor
commander
vice
mayor
ramirez
and
city
council
members?
I
am
robert
cox
co-chair
of
the
old
mountain
view,
neighborhood
association,
residential
parking
subcommittee.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
this
item.
Our
subcommittee
thanks
staff
and
the
consultant
for
this
excellent
parking
strategy
document.
For
many
reasons
that
we
listed
in
the
letter
that
we
sent
to
you.
AC
We
strongly
support
the
programs
providing
at
least
one
permit
per
household
free.
Without
this,
we
feel
there
will
not
be
sufficient
support
for
the
program.
The
result
will
be
a
continued
lack
of
adoption,
causing
even
more
serious
parking
problems
for
residents,
as
the
city
rolls
out
its
paid
parking
in
the
downtown.
AC
Secondly,
we
strongly
advise
against
selling
permits
to
non-residents
in
the
residential
areas.
From
the
beginning
of
our
discussion
with
the
city
of
the
city
has
acknowledged,
the
primary
reason
for
parking
spaces
in
the
residential
areas
is
to
provide
parking
for
the
residents
and
their
guests.
Selling
permits
to
employees
in
our
residential
areas
is
a
violation
of
that
fundamental
premise.
We
also
support
the
recommendation
to
create
a
parking
administrator
and
an
increase
in
parking
in
luffy's
to
better
reflect
the
cost
of
providing
parking
for
employees
and
business
customers.
AC
AD
Oh
hi,
mayor
and
council,
I
apologize
I'm
totally
logged
into
the
wrong
account.
My
name
is
drew
meyersek,
I'm
I
work
for
cynthia
guerrero
at
california
strategies,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
I
am
speaking
to
you
on
behalf
of
our
client,
clever
city,
which
is
a
technology
forward
parking
service
that
helps
move
drivers
into
parking
spaces
more
efficiently.
AD
Clever
city
supports
the
proposal
today
and
we
are
very
excited
about
the
changes
to
the
downtown
parking
strategy.
In
mountain
view,
clever
city,
as
I
just
mentioned,
offers
innovative
transportation
and
wayfinding
solutions
to
move
drivers
into
parkland
spaces.
Excuse
me,
spaces
more
efficiently
through
low
profile,
sensors,
just
digital
signage
and
flexible
app
integration.
AD
This
in
turn
reduces
carbon
emissions,
increases
movement
through
business
centers
and
creates
an
overall
convenience
for
drivers
as
cities
in
california,
including
mountain
view,
rethink
their
parking
strategies.
It's
our
hope
that
cities
can
maximize
the
use
of
existing
parking
assets
before
constructing
new
ones.
These
proposed
changes,
coupled
with
thoughtful
technology
solutions,
will
do
just
that.
AD
Should
these
changes
be
approved.
We
hope
the
mountain
view
will
continue
to
pursue
additional
solutions
to
improve
mobility
and
parking
in
downtown
as
projects
such
as
the
castro
street
closure
extension
are
considered.
We
believe
these
parkland
strategy
updates
will
become
even
more
crucial
to
fostering
a
walkable
livable
mountain
view.
AD
We
want
to
thank
the
council
and
city
staff
again
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
as
well
as
all
the
hard
work.
That's
gotten
into
this
plan,
we're
very
very
excited
to
see
this
move
forward
and
for
all
the
reasons
previously
stated,
we
request.
Excuse
me
respectfully
request
that
the
mayor
and
council
approve
the
downtown
parking
strategy
this
evening.
Thank
you.
AE
There
we
go
thank
you
mayor
command
and
esteemed
city,
council
members,
I'm
peter
katz,
president
and
ceo
of
the
mountain
view,
chamber
of
commerce.
On
behalf
of
our
750
members,
we
wish
to
state
our
strong
support
for
the
proposed
parking
strategy.
Framework
transportation
and
parking
in
particular
remains
a
critical
issue
for
our
businesses
and
our
community
at
large.
AE
It
is
also
a
complex
and
multifaceted
issue
for
which
there
is
no
single,
simple
solution.
The
staff
recommendation
for
a
long-term
multi-tiered
strategy
focusing
on
management
access
and
zoning
not
just
supply,
recognizes
this
fact.
All
of
these
areas
are
critical
and
interrelated
components
to
success.
We
cannot
simply
focus
on
one
alone.
AE
We
are
particularly
excited
about
the
technology
focused
strategies.
That
mountain
view
is
considering
mountain
view
is
one
of
the
world's
most
important
tech
centers
and
continues
to
offer
technology
solutions
to
difficult
problems.
Parking
should
be
no
different
investigation
into
creative
approaches
to
wayfinding
and
guidance
systems
such
as
clever
city,
as
mentioned
a
few
moments
ago,
park
stash
google
maps
and
other
technologies
help
create
a
more
sustainable
and
accessible
parking
program
that
is
so
sorely
needed.
AE
At
the
same
time,
we
are
pleased
the
plan
calls
for
parking
alternatives
to
be
found
during
construction,
especially
those
projects
that
will
overlay
existing
parking
lots.
We
also
support
improvements
to
mass
transit
and
non-vehicular
modes
of
transport
that
encourage
less
vehicular
use,
improved
efficiency
in
transport
access
and
parking
needs,
more
visitors
and
shoppers
to
our
city
and
increases
the
vibrancy
of
our
commercial
and
public
centers.
AE
D
AF
You
can
hear
me
yes
yeah,
so
I
I'm
a
mountain
view
resident.
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
reviewed
this
huge
strategy
document
parts
of
it.
There
were
some
things
that
I
thought
were
really
good,
and
then
there
were
some
things
that
that
gave
me
a
little
bit
pause,
paused.
AF
The
first
thing
and
the
main
thing
that
I
think
was
good
is
you
know
it
has
proper
parking
enforcement,
and
you
know
the
whole
idea
of
charging
fees
and
having
parking
permits.
This
is
a
way
that
the
city
can
get
money.
These
parking
structures
were
not
cheap
to
build,
and
so
it
makes
sense
that
we
should
be
trying
to
recoup
some
of
that
capital
cost
we're
not
like
a
community
that
is
can't
pay
for
parking
parking
is
not
like
a
huge
cost.
AF
I
back
in
my
college
student
days
in
a
tiny
college
town
had
to
pay
for
parking.
It
was
fine.
So
I
think-
and
the
big
thing
that
we
need
to
think
in
terms
of
fees
is
the
effect
on
incentives
for
people.
So
a
caltrain
ticket
costs
like
four
dollars
to
15
buses
cost
around
250.
AF
If
we
can't
get
people
change
the
incentives
so
that
that
is
the
better
option
for
people,
people
aren't
going
to
take
it,
and
so,
if
we
start
paying
for
fees
or
having
parking
fees,
we
can
change
those
incentives.
We
can
also
fund
transit
subsidies
for
people
in
the
downtown
if
we
want.
So
that
was
a
thing
I
like.
I
liked
the
bike
parking
requirements.
AF
Q
Evening
again,
council,
my
name
is
kevin
mom
again
a
resident
of
madame
in
the
san
antonio
neighborhood.
This
I
believe
I
will
hope
that
from
this
plan
you
can
determine
that
we
don't
really
need
any
more
parking
garages
in
the
area.
I
understand
that
every
time
usually
people
get
confused
about
like
I
ran
out
of
entry
parking,
they
always
say
why?
Q
As
the
previous
speakers
mentioned,
everything
else
has,
if
you
take
caltrain,
if
you
take
vta,
there
are
fees
associated
directly
to
the
consumer,
whereas
for
a
car,
obviously
you
just
bundle
it
into
your.
You
know
gas
budget
for
that
month
or
two
months,
depending
on
how
expensive
our
gas
is
in
the
future
and
fundamentally,
there's
no
equivalent
subsidy
for
people
who
take.
You
know
the
more
environmentally
friendly
sources
of
environmental
friendly
modes
of
transit,
which
is
important.
Q
Given
that
carb
has
known
known
to
itself
that
cars
as
it
stands,
we
cannot
just
transition
to
evs
fast
enough
to
be
able
to
meet
our
carbon
emission
targets
and
eventually
we
will
need
to
reduce
vehicle
miles
traveled,
which
means
we
need
to
give
people
a
way
to
get
to
the
places
they
want
to
be
not
in
a
car
and
fundamentally,
a
car
garage
and
parking
is
a
choice,
land
use
idea.
That
makes
an
impact
over
many
years
that
we
cannot
get
around
on
anymore.
Thank
you.
AG
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
adina
11
with
friends
of
caltrain
and
cmos
bay
area,
wanted
to
commend
the
city
for
a
really
well
developed
and
fleshed
out
parking
and
access
strategy
for
the
downtown
really
being
multi-dimensional
and
putting
adding
supply
as
the
last
resort,
starting
with
managing
supply
most
efficiently
and
providing
good
incentives
for
people
to
avoid
driving
and
getting
to
downtown
to
make
downtown
thrive.
AG
AG
If
there
is
paid
parking-
and,
lastly
is
caltrain-
is
electrified,
there's
the
potential
to
have
service
hours
that
support
a
wider
variety
of
work
hours
and
a
wider
variety
of
trip
types
so
wanted
to
support
what
others
are
saying
in
terms
of
using
these
strategies
to
balance
the
incentives
making
it
attractive
to
come
to
downtown
without
driving.
Thank
you.
AH
Firstly,
we
would
ask
that
to
meet
the
council's
own
guiding
principle
that
parking
and
driving
come
in
across
the
community,
we
should
explicitly
adopt
a
policy
of
maintaining
a
constant,
effective
parking
supply
to
ensure
that
when
we
add
the
shared
parking,
we
simultaneously
are
removing
some
physical
parking.
So
we
don't
increase
traffic
in
mountain
view.
We
would
not
want
to
make
our
physical
parking
more
efficient
and
then
end
up
with
more
people
driving
to
downtown.
AH
Secondly,
while
the
proposed
reforms
for
the
parking
and
move
fees
and
strategies
strategy,
z3
do
represent
progress,
it
is
still
sort
of
fundamentally
backwards
to
be
charging
fees
for
not
building
parking.
Despite
that
being
a
more
sustainable
choice.
Instead,
we
should
move
in
the
same
direction
that
san
jose
has
begun,
exploring
and
actually
charge
fees
when
developers
do
build
parking
to
better
represent
the
true
externalities
that
additional
driving
brings
to
our
community,
while
using
that
sales
funding
to
fund
better
public
transit
and
active
transportation
improvements.
AH
We
also
hope
that
the
city
will
consider
the
other
recommendations
we
listed
in
our
letter,
like
more
possibilities
for
using
the
curb
space,
avoiding
spending
tma
funding
on
wide
share
subsidies.
I'm
exclusively
programming,
some
tma
funding
for
working
with
increased
transit
service,
like
athena
mentioned,
as
well
as
the
concept
of
transit
validation
for
the
tdm,
rather
than
allowing
sort
of
the
concept
of
parking
validation
to
create
the
right
incentives
when
people
are
visiting
businesses.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
starting
with
me,
through
the
technical
difficulties.
AI
Hi
saleem,
I
live
and
work
in
mountain
view
and
I
agree
a
lot
with
james's
comment.
I
think
he
actually
said
it
better
than
I
could.
I
really
hope
mountain
view
doesn't
add
another
parking
structure,
I'll
admit,
I'm
a
little
biased.
I
was
biking
through
castro
two
days
ago
and
I
almost
got
hit
by
a
car.
So
I
really
hope
that
we
have
a
castro.
That's
walkable
bikeable,
it's
a
lot
more
vibrant
that
way
so
yeah.
Thank
you.
AJ
Hi,
I'm
david
watson,
I'm
a
member
of
mountain
view
yinby
it's
I
I
again
james's
comment
was
terrific.
I
mostly
I'm
just
echoing
what
he
said,
but
it
seems
clear
to
me
that
we
shouldn't
be
building
extra
parking
structures
in
downtown.
It's
premature
to
be
doing
that.
Also
we
shouldn't
be
charging
a
charging
commercial
property
that
doesn't
build.
AJ
Part
doesn't
build
parking
when
we
you
know,
would
prefer
that
we
don't
add
a
bunch
of
unnecessary
parking,
because
each
car
that
drives
to
downtown
right
now
imposes
costs
on
our
infrastructure,
and
there
are
much
more
effective
ways
to
ensure
that
we
have
available
ways
for
people
to
travel,
to
downtown
modest
fee
programs
that
target
90
utilization
of
parking
spaces
can
be
very
successful,
possibly
only
needing
to
charge
during
the
absolute
peak
hours.
AJ
Payment
for
parking
is
constantly
getting
simpler,
with
widespread
adoption
of
smartphone
payment
systems,
which
will
further
reduce
friction
for
payment.
This
is
a
great
way
to
limit
vehicle
miles,
traveled
in
mountain
view,
to
meet
our
environmental
goals
while
continuing
to
build
our
downtown,
which
I'd
say,
is
already
the
nicest
of
our
pure
cities.
C
C
I
believe
for
this
item.
It
would
just
be
the
staff
recommendation,
which
is
to
adopt
the
downtown
parking
vice
mayor,
ramirez,.
Y
Thank
you
mayor.
I
didn't
see
any
other
hand,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
the
staff
recommendation.
Just
a
couple
of
quick
comments.
I
think
council
members,
matajak
and
hicks
were
right
on
and
asking
what
will
come
back
to
the
council.
That
also
was
a
question
I
had
asked
asked
during
the
briefing
that
they
provided.
H
Y
I
I
think
many
I
won't
say
most,
but
many
of
the
items
of
greatest
significance
brought
up
by
members
of
the
public
will
come
back
to
us
in
one
form
or
another
through
an
appropriation
or
an
amendment
to
the
zoning
code
or
the
precise
plan
capital
improvements
that
kind
of
thing.
So
I'm
I'm
not
too
terribly
concerned
about
providing
direction
that
we're.
Y
We
where
we
won't
have
an
opportunity
to
solicit
significant
stakeholder
and
community
input
later
later
on
or
if
we
have
a
change
of
opinion,
because
there's
a
significant
change
in
circumstance.
I
think
there
there
will
be
opportunities
for
us
to
to
reconsider
some
of
the
more
significant
items,
but
I
do
think
as
a
whole.
This
is
a
very
well
thought
out
set
of
strategies,
and
I
think
you
know,
takes
a
lot
of
the
input
that
we've
provided
over
the
past
several
of
years
and
sets
us
on
a
very
good
direction.
Y
I
think
when
it
comes
to
managing
and
addressing
concerns
about
parking
in
downtown,
so
I'll
just
move
the
staff
recommendation.
B
Thanks,
I'm
happy
to
second
the
motion.
I
just
had
a
couple
of
comments.
B
I'm
happy
that
this
has
all
come
together
into
one
cohesive
strategy,
although
it's
got
a
lot
of
action
items
there
to
do
the
implementation-
and
I
do
think
it's
important
for
many
of
these-
for
them
to
come
back
to
the
council,
because
one
of
the
things
I'm
concerned
about
is
while
a
lot
of
stakeholders
were
contacted
and
provided
input.
B
B
Actually,
we
heard
I,
I
think
it
was
from
every
single
business
downtown
that
parking
was
an
issue
and
that
some
businesses
are
losing
revenue
because
customers
can't
find
a
place
to
park,
and
while
I
totally
agree
that
public
transportation
is
the
way
to
go,
walking
biking
are
also
great
ways
to
get
there.
Not
everyone
is
going
to
take
advantage
of
those
ways
and
in
many
cases
we
really
have
not
provided
people
with
effective,
efficient
public
transit.
B
So
I
feel
like
at
some
point.
We
have
to
just
recognize
that
and
say
we
either
need
to
solve
the
public
transit
problem
and
that's
a
big
problem.
We
can't
do
it
on
our
own
granted.
There
are
some
good
forms
caltrain.
I
think
our
community
shuttles
are
good,
but
they
don't
go
everywhere
and
not
everyone
can
take
advantage
of
them.
B
So
it'd
be
great
if
we
could
solve
that
public
transit
problem,
but
in
the
meantime
a
lot
of
people
are
opting
to
drive
and
I
don't
want
our
businesses
to
suffer
because
they
can't
find
a
place
to
park
when
they
get
here.
So
I
am
happy
this
has
all
come
together
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
especially
the
quick
hits
getting
implemented.
So
I'm
very
happy
to
support
this
thanks.
G
You
mayor
and
thank
you
to
staff
and
to
the
members
of
nelson
nygard
for
this
comprehensive
report
and
strategy.
I'm
very
excited
to
see
it,
I'm
very
supportive
of
it.
I
agree
with
echo
and
agree
with
a
lot
of
what
councilmember
matacek
has
mentioned.
You
know
I
the
one
thing
I
guess
I
my
biggest
concern
frankly
is
the
implementation
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
the
phases
and
and
frankly
just
getting
to
doing
implementing
as
quickly
as
we
can,
I'm
probably
I
don't.
G
I
counselor
matter
check
may
have
been
around
too,
but
we
actually
went
through
this
exercise
probably
about
10
years
ago,
and
we
did
have
some
strategies.
G
Then
you
know
I
I
turned
out
and
came
back
and
was
wondering
what
had
happened
to
a
lot
of
that
quite
a
bit
or
actually
I
don't
know
how
much
is
implemented.
So
in
some
ways
this
is
a
repeat
for
me,
which
is
fine,
because
I
think,
with
time
we've
been
able
to
improve
and
modify
some
of
our
strategies
to
to
be
more
current.
G
So
I
can
appreciate
that,
but
I
really
think
you
know:
we've
talked
about
parking
downtown
parking
for
years
and
years
and
probably
decades
at
this
point-
and
you
know
it's
it's
great-
that
we
are
a
destination
downtown.
I
hear
more
and
more
people
say
from
outside
of
mountain
view,
say
how
they
like
to
come
to
our
downtown
for
our
restaurants
and
so
forth.
So
you
know
it's
a
real
issue,
it's
a
real
challenge,
and
so
I
think
we
do
need
to
to
move
quickly
in
into
implementation.
G
I
appreciate
the
concerns
about
you
know
parking
parking
structure
to
will
we
need
it.
The
land
use
decisions.
I
think
you
know
again,
things
have
changed.
Technologies
have
changed,
you
know
whatever
even
a
parking
structure
can
potentially
be
converted
down
the
road.
Now
that
was
not
the
case
10
years
ago,
so
I
I.
I
think
this
can
be
a
flexible
strategy
and
we
can
revisit
it.
I
hope
we
revisit
it
frankly
more
frequently
this
time
around,
so
that
we
can
adjust
accordingly.
A
Yeah,
I'm
going
to
be
glad
to
support
this
report.
I'm
I'm
happy
to
see
it,
but
one
of
the
policy
questions
that
I
just
want
to
mention-
and
I
I'd
really
like
to
hear
from
my
council
colleagues
on
this-
is-
is
about
the
revenue
neutrality
of
it.
A
I
know
that,
maybe
five
six
years
ago,
we
put
together
the
residential
parking
permit
program
and
it
really
hasn't
been
utilized
at
all,
and
I
think
one
of
the
fatal
flaws
with
it
was
that
it
was
designed
to
be
revenue
neutral,
which
being
meant
that
all
these
people,
who'd
been
parking
for
free
on
the
on
the
streets
for
years
were
all
of
a
sudden
going
to
be
required
to
pay
for
parking
permits,
as
well,
as
you
know,
go
through
all
the
bureaucracy
of
getting
the
system
set
up
and,
and
that
really
just
wasn't
a
very
appetizing
idea
for
anybody.
A
So
I
think
that
that
our
our
driving
policy
shouldn't
be
revenue
neutrality.
It
should
be
to
make
the
parking
that
we
have
work
as
well
as
possible.
You
know
our.
We,
I
think
all
of
us
have
said
many
different
ways
that
that
a
core
community
value
for
mountain
view
is
a
vibrant
downtown
and
having
the
parking
work
really
well
contributes
to
that
vibrancy.
A
A
I
think
that's
a
very,
very
minor
issue
relatively,
and
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up
because,
as
as
council
member
abracova
just
said
mountain
view,
downtown
is
a
destination
people
love
to
come
here
and
we
love
to
have
them
come
right,
but
but
they
do
need
a
place
to
park
their
cars
or
their
bikes
when
they
get
here
and
and
we
we
need
to
have
the
you
know
the
system
that
we
have
work
effectively,
and
so
I
just.
A
I
just
think
that
that
that
effectiveness,
that
leads
to
vitality
of
the
downtown,
that's
what
I
care
about
the
revenue
neutrality
is,
of
course
we
have
to
be
careful
with
our
pennies,
but
the
revenue
neutrality
is
a
a
a
secondary
or
or
tertiary
kind
of
brewery.
To
me
relative
to
this,
it's
making
the
downtown
work
better,
because
because
the
parking
is
better-
and
one
thing
I
have
to
say
you
know
in
looking
at
what
has
worked.
Is
you
know?
A
One
of
the
things
in
the
policy
that
we
we
discussed
maybe
five
years
ago,
were
the
way
finding
signs
that
are
in
the
parking
garages
and
it
took
a
long
time
to
get
those
installed,
but
they're
great.
You
know,
I
mean
it
shows
you,
you
can
see
from
the
lights
which
which
which
stalls
are
empty
or
or
not
from
quite
a
distance,
and
then
there's
a
sign
right
outside
that
says
well
they're,
either
there's
either
room
or
there's
not
so
you
know
you
know
not
to
drive
in
and
waste
your
time.
A
I
think
I
mean
that's
a
huge
improvement,
so
getting
what
we
can
implement
it
as
quickly
as
possible
is
also
really
important
to
me.
Thank
you
to
steph.
J
Well,
I
will
also
be
happily
supporting
the
strategy
adoption
and
I
was
very
pleased
to
read
the
overall
framework
and
I'm
also
glad
to
hear
that
it's
going
to
be
coming
back
to
us
piece
by
piece
so
that
we
can
adjust
it
over
time
as
as
conditions
change
and
as
we
learn.
I
I
agree
with
council
member
showalter
that
this
is
very
important
and
one
of
the
main
things
residents
want
when
they
talk
to
me
is
a
vibrant
downtown
and
a
parking
strategy
is
key
to
that.
J
Another
thing
residents
want,
I
think,
increasingly,
is
sustainability
planning,
and
this
is
key
to
that
as
well.
I
agree
with
councilmember
showalter
that
it
doesn't
have
to
be
revenue
neutral
as
long
as
we're
delivering
on
that.
You
know
that
thing
that
is
the
vibrant
downtown
that
so
many
people
want.
J
I'm
also
hearing
two
different
things
from
some
of
the
public
comments.
One
I'm
I've
heard
that
people
want
from
residents
that
they're
worried
about
downtown
businesses
coming
back
and
want
to
make
sure
that
that
we
have
strong
local
restaurants
and
other
businesses
that
people
can
easily
visit
that
people,
don't
just,
for
example,
drive
to
los
altos
or
palo
alto
or
wherever
they
can
find
parking
more
easily.
At
the
same
time,
I
very
much
sympathize
with
the
speakers.
J
Who've
said
they
don't
want
us
to
just
go
out
and
build
a
new
parking
garage,
and
I
think
that
there
are
a
couple
things
we
can
do
to.
I
think,
happily,
in
this
case,
there
are
a
couple
things
we
can
do
in
the
short
term
to
kind
of
meet
the
needs
of
both
of
those
groups
of
people,
and
one
of
the
biggest
is
is
the
one
that
I
mentioned
in
questions,
which
is
the
rpp
that
I
think
I
think
in
council
questions.
J
I
got
from
staff
that
there
are
over
3
000
parking
street
parking
places
and
what
I
saw
in
my
recent
travel
to
cities
around
colorado
is
that
they
blanketed
the
whole
downtown
with
with
parking
permits
they
gave
residents
free
parking
permits.
They
structured
three-hour
parking
so
that
employees
parked
in
the
underground
garages
and
the
parking
that
they
had
already
built
was
well
used,
and
I
think
that
if
we
do
that,
I
think
that's
that's
a
pretty
easy
first
step.
J
J
So
I'm
hoping
we
can
do
something
like
I've
seen
in
other
cities
that
will
access
much
more
parking
that
will
drive
employees
into
the
underground
lots
and
access
the
street
parking
that
we
have.
I
also
liked
the
idea
when
I
talked
to
staff
earlier
of
having
our
our
downtown
parking
permits
sold
in
places
that
are
not
the
the
most
favorable
parking
spaces
reserve,
those
for
restaurant
and
retail
customers.
J
So
I
think
they're
further
away
places,
whether
those
be
the
top
floors
of
our
parking
garages,
whether
it
be
the
police
lot
that
we're
reconfiguring
or
some
other
spaces.
I
think
we
can.
I
think
we
can
better
access
a
lot
of
the
parking
we
have
and
hopefully
not
have
to
build
more
supply
and
then
continue
to
tweak
as
conditions
change
and
as
we
go
on
other
than
that,
I
love
a
lot
of
the
other
suggestions
and
I'm
not
going
to
read
them
through
one
by
one.
J
I'm
not
going
to
read
them
all
through,
but
I
hope
to
revisit
them.
You
know,
as
they
come
back
to
council.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
I
appreciate
so
much
the
the
comments
of
my
colleagues
and
I
hope
that,
as
we
receive
pieces
of
this
back
and
work
our
way
through
this
process
that
we
can
do
it
with
the
over
overarching
way
of
thinking
about
this
is
having
that
vibrant,
downtown
and
circulation
in
and
out
of
our
downtown
and
easy
access
to
our
downtown.
L
I
think
sometimes,
when
you
look
at
it
from
the
question
of,
should
we
have
a
new
parking
structure.
It's
the
tail
starts
to
wag
the
dog,
and
I
I
think
that
as
we
as
we
move
through
the
planning
for
this,
it's
really
important
to
take
into
account
the
diverse
ages
and
ability
of
people
that
are
coming
to
the
downtown.
L
I
think
it's
great
to
say,
let's
really
incentivize
people
to
jump
on
an
expensive,
cal
train
and
and
get
to
the
downtown
that
way
for
for
the
ages
of
folks
who
spend
money
in
our
restaurants
that
that
may
just
not
be
a
possibility
and
we
are
in
competition
with
every
other
downtown
on
the
peninsula.
L
But
I
think
that
we
have
to
look
at
age.
How
do
young
people
get
into
the
downtown?
How
do
community
members
who
are
are
a
bit
older,
get
into
the
downtown?
L
How
accessible
is
our
downtown
and
that's
a
huge
issue?
I
also
think
that,
as
we
talk
about
bicycling
to
get
to
the
downtown,
we
have
to
really
grapple
with
safe
bicycle
parking.
L
Most
people
who
are
serious,
cyclists
and
and
will
cycle
at
night
and
will
cycle
to
their
their
grocery
shopping
and
their
commercial
transactions
have
really
good
quality
bikes
in
silicon
valley,
and
we
don't
really
have
the
the
infrastructure
that
makes
them
comfortable
with
bringing
those
bikes
into
the
downtown
and
and
having
a
place
to
park.
C
Thank
you,
so
I
believe
everybody's
had
their
opportunity
to
make
their
comments.
So
I
think
see-
and
we
have
a
motion
by
the
vice
mayor
that
was
seconded
by
council
member
mata
check.
So
I
think
we
could
do
a
roll
call
vote,
but
I
just
want
to
add
in
some
comments
as
well,
which
is
just
I'm
so
happy
that
the
full
council
is
able
to
talk
about
our
downtown
parking
strategy.
C
I
think
kind
of
the
robust
comments
that
we're
hearing,
just
kind
of
shows
the
importance
and
it's
so
wonderful
to
be
able
to
have
a
full
council
be
able
to
to
weigh
in
this
time,
and
so
just
want
to
echo
the
things
that
were
mentioned
earlier
to
our
staff
to
our
consultants
as
well
as
the
community.
C
I
think
one
of
the
really
kind
of
interesting
silver
linings
of
the
pandemic
has
been
the
the
community
outreach
that
we
have
been
able
to
do,
and
so
I
would
just
say,
as
we're
talking
about
phasing
the
various
implementing
the
various
phases
trying
to
continue
that.
I
think
you
know
the
the
goals
and
the
strategies
make
sense.
The
kind
of
new
strategy
study
area
also
makes
sense,
and
I
think,
as
we
have
been
discussing,
looking
at
the
moffat
area
being
able
to
incorporate
willowgate
into
the
moffat.
C
A
precise
plan
is
also
another
way
to
address
that
issue
that
we
had
seen
kind
of
permeating
into
our
downtown
parking
kind
of
challenges.
So
I'm
happy
to
see
that
staff
has
been
able
to
be
creative
that
way.
The
strategy
toolkit
with
the
18
strategies,
I
think,
are
very
clear
and
agree
and
echo
the
comments
in
terms
of
being
able
to
continue
to
have
council
input
onto
the
phasing
and
the
implementation
process.
C
I
think
it
will
be
kind
of
looking
at
the
the
details
to
make
sure
that
it's
successful
and
then
continuing
to
have
the
outreach.
C
I,
like
the
the
comments
about
making
sure
we're
not
only
including
the
the
community
and
the
business
owners
that
live
right
and
in
the
downtown,
or
have
businesses
right
in
the
downtown,
but
also
reaching
out
to
all
our
various
neighborhood
associations
and
hearing
kind
of
their
use
patterns,
and
I
think
that's
what
was
the
great
feedback
we
were
able
to
receive
when
we
looked
at
the
pedestrian
mall
study
and
so
would
love
to
kind
of
kind
of.
Do
that
as
well.
C
The
only
other
comments
that
I
would
add
as
we're
thinking
about
implementation,
is
when
we're
discussing
kind
of
way
finding
when
we're
discussing
you
know,
strategies
making
sure
that
we
are
doing
that
kind
of
in
language,
doing
multiple
languages
and
even
kind
of
maybe
exploring
that
with
our
way
finding
opportunities,
and
I
think
that
that
will
be
kind
of
phased
in
later.
C
But
I
think
we
all
know
mountain
view
is
a
very
vibrant
multicultural
city
where
you
have
people
all
around
the
world
coming
and
it
would
be
great
to
have
signage
in
multiple
languages.
So
that's
the
only
other
thing
that
I
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
included
so
thanks
everyone,
and
we
will
call
the
question
and
have
a
roll
call,
though
vice.
E
D
C
Everyone
thanks
staff,
thanks
alex
and
phil
all
right.
So
that
concludes
item
number
seven.
So
we
can
move
on
to
item
eight,
which
is
our
council
staff
and
committee
reports,
and
I
know
that
we
have
someone
already
in
the
queue
which
is
council,
member
showalter,
so
councilmember
showalter
will
turn
it
over
to
you
and
city
clerk.
Glazer
will
pull
up
your
slides.
A
You
go
there,
we
go
okay,
all
right!
Yes,
if
you
could
call
up
the
slides,
I
appreciate
it
heather
clerk
laser.
Thank
you,
okay,
so
I
I
serve
on
the
recycled
water
committee.
That's
a
joint
committee
with
valley,
water,
palo,
alto,
mountain
view
and
east
palo
alto,
and
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
a
little
about
the
two
advanced
purification
plants
that
we're
working
on
they're,
very
important
as
a
drought,
proof
source
of
water.
A
Why
don't
you
go
to
about
slide?
Seven?
I
think
it
is
flip
through
keep
going.
Okay,
stop
that
this
is
the
site
of
an
advanced
purification
plant
is
a
plant
that
takes
the
tertiary
treated
waste
water
and
it
puts
it
through
processes
that
we
normally
consider
with
desalination.
A
The
the
the
already
treated
wastewater
and
our
recycled
water
in
the
north
bay
shore
is
is
that
tertiary
treated
wastewater
and,
unfortunately,
the
salt
content
of
it
is
too
high
to
work
well
for
for
irrigating
everything
such
as
redwood
trees
or
for
going
through
cooling
towers
as
many
times
as
we
want
them
to
well
valley.
A
Water
wants
to
increase
the
amount
of
water
in
our
county,
that's
used,
that's
recycled
water
and
they
have
a
pretty
aggressive
goal
for
doing
that,
and
so
one
of
the
ways
that
they're
doing
that
is
with
sort
of
region-wide
advanced
purification
plants,
and
there
is
one
plan,
that's
currently
being
planned
for
the
boundary
of
our
community.
A
If
you
I
don't
know
you
can't,
I
don't
have
a
cursor,
but
this
road
that
you
see
is
san
antonio
road
yeah.
That's
it
that's
san
antonio
road
and
that
path,
that's
terminal
avenue
there.
I
imagine,
we've
all
walked
out
on
that
path
in
the
bay
lands.
So
you
recognize
on
that's
what
this
site
is
next
slide.
A
Then
this
is
just
what
it
will
look
like
when
it's
built
and
next
slide,
and
this
is
kind
of
what
the
path
by
it
looks
like
keep
going.
A
This
is
another
view
of
it
keep
going,
and
this
is
another
view
of
it
keep
going
so
so
these
are
just
perspectives
of
what
this
plant
will
look
like
after
it's
you
know
after
it's
built
now
it's
properly
in
palo
alto,
but
I
wanted
you
to
be
aware
of
it,
because
it's
just
across
the
street
from
mountain
view
and
they
will
be
using
our
waste
water,
that's
what
they
will
be
treating
at
this
plant,
so
this
is
still
in
the
planning,
phases
and
they're
still
doing
sighting
work,
but
it's
going
to
be
an
important
source
of
water
for
kind
of
the
rest
of
the
the
county.
A
This
water
will
be
piped
south
and
used
for
recharge.
If
the.
If
the
requirements
for
the
regulations
for
potable
use
of
recycled
water
are
changed
and
they're
expected
to
change,
there
might
be
more
uses
of
it,
but
the
plan
now
is
for
it
to
be
used
for
recharge
of
the
groundwater
basin.
Further
south
next
slide-
and
this
is
the
this-
is
the
schedule-
it's
not
expected
to
be
finished
until
2027,
but
so
we'll
just
stay
tuned
on
that
one,
okay,
the
next
one.
A
What
I
really
want
to
talk
about
is
that
this
is
stay
here.
A
second
yeah
is,
is
the
the
local
salt
removal
facility
at
the
palo
alto
wastewater
treatment
plant
you'll,
see
this
that,
where
the
the
edge
just
that
corner
is
going
to
be
the
facility
and
they're
going
to
take
about
an
mgd
or
more
of
our
water,
a
million
gallons
a
day
of
our
water
and
they're
going
to
after
it's
treated
and
they're,
going
to
treat
it
for
and
and
this
will
produce
a
water.
A
That's
almost
like
distilled
water,
it's
very,
very
pure,
so
they're
going
to
be
blending
that
water
in
with
our
recycled
water
and
that's
going
to
create
a
much
better
quality
recycled
water
for
use
in
the
north
bay
shore.
A
And
you
know,
as
you
all
know,
we
have
a
purple
pipe
distribution
system
throughout
the
north
bay
shore
and
it's
used
to
irrigate
the
the
golf
course
and
several
other
things,
and
we
also
are
requiring
large
buildings
that
are
being
built
in
the
north
bay
shore
to
have
dual
plumbing,
and
so
this
will
be
the
source.
You
know
this
will
be
helped
to
have
a
good
recycled
water
source
for
all
those
uses.
Next
slide.
A
This
is
a
little
bit
about
the
the
schedule
and
you
can
see
now
we're
about
at
december
2021.
The
30
design
has,
as
is
where
we
are,
and
they
expect
to
finish
in
early
2024..
A
So
that's
when
they
when
that's
commissioned,
that's
when
the
water,
this
clean
water
will
start
to
flow
into
the
north
bay
shore
of
mountain
view,
and
this
is,
I
think
this
is
really
exciting,
because
it's
a
long-term
drought-proof
supply
because
no
matter
what
happens,
we're
all
going
to
continue,
flushing
our
toilets
and
and
having
you
know,
showers
shower
water,
go
out
and
all
those
things.
So
there
will
be
a
source
of
water
to
our
wastewater
treatment
plant
that
we're
going
to
be
reusing
and
making
to
be
just
a
really
good
supply.
A
Next,
then,
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention
just
because
of
its
it's
not
really
related
to
water,
but
it's
at
the
same
time
is
palo.
Alto
is,
is
going
to
be
building
another
home
key
site,
that's
very
similar
to
ours
and
it's
in
the
area.
A
The
green
area
you
see
this
is
the
same
site
of
this
is
the
same
site
of
the
los
altos
treatment
plant.
That's
on
san
antonio
road,
near
terminal
avenue,
and
so
that
home
key
site
will
make
up
part
of
that
and
will
be
right
on
the
edge
of
our
community.
A
And
I
I
personally
don't
think
this
is
a
problem
at
all,
but
I
just
think
it's
good
to
know
about
kind
of
like
sunnyvale
needs
to
know
about
the
crestview
hotel.
It's
because
it's
you
know
it's
on
the
border,
so
there
will
be
another,
a
homeless,
a
facility
to
help
homeless
residents
there-
and
I
think,
that's
you
know,
that's
a
good
thing,
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
information
with
you
and
that's
that's
and
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
C
J
This
is
more
of
a
comment
than
a
question
actually
but
yeah.
I
go
hiking
there
a
lot
and
it
all
sounds
good
to
me.
I
just
say,
put
a
lot
of
trees
around
it
because
because
I
don't
need
to
see
the
treatment
plant
when
I
go
hiking
there
and
I'm
sure
the
the
people
in
the
transitional
shelter
would
would
like
a
lot
of
trees,
because
I
would
have
forever
living
there.
So
otherwise,
all
good.
A
You
know
that's
really
an
interesting
point
because
down
there
you
know
that's
marsh
martian
grassland
naturally,
and
there
really
wouldn't
have
been
a
lot
of
trees,
but
I
think,
under
the
circumstances
you're
absolutely
right.
It
would
be
beautiful
to
have
trees
to
to
mark
it
off
and
and
provide
shade
and
all
of
those
yeah.
A
I
I
attended
the
a
bcdc
meeting
about
two
weeks
ago
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
we
approved
was
the
new
report
called
bay,
adapt,
which
is
a
regional
framework
for
planning,
sea
level,
rise
implementation,
and
I
would
be
glad
to
share
that
information
with
anybody
who
who's
interested
in
it,
and
it's
been
worked
on
for
about
three
years
from
a
consortium
of
many
agencies
and
and
groups,
and
will
really
help
as
a
road
map
for
all
of
us
moving
forward.
A
It
particularly
emphasizes
collaboration,
technical
collaboration
and
environmental
justice
issues
and
how
to
find
funding
so
it
takes.
You
know
very
much
a
regional
point
of
view,
which
is
different
from
the
sea
level
rise
program
that
mountain
the
city
of
mountain
view
itself
has
put
together
that
we're
moving
forward
on,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
share.
They
adapt
with
with
everybody
thanks.
G
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
report
that
last
week
I
attended
a
two-day
mtc
workshop
and,
along
with
the
board
meeting,
the
focus
was
on
what
the
mtc's
work
on
a
blue
ribbon
task
force,
which
is
focused
originally
focused
on
coveted
recovery,
and
then
it
it
evolved
into
a
lot
of
what
we
talked
about
with
and
we
adopted
the
same
seamless
transit
principles
and
how
to
move
those
forward.
So
there's
a
lot
more
coming.
G
One
of
the
measures,
one
of
the
items
being
talked
about
to
be
able
to
implement
a
lot
of
the
strategies,
is
a
regional
measure
ballot
measure.
Although
timing
is,
of
course
very
important,
I
also
serve
on
the
baja
baffa.
G
The
bay
area,
housing
finance
authority
which
you
may
have
heard
of,
and
that
is
a
organization
or
agency
created
to
basically
find
funding
to
build
more
affordable
housing
and
is
also
looking
at
a
regional
measure
actually
did
some
polling
that
did
not
come
out
very
strong,
so
it
will
not
be
happening
in
2022,
but
I
think
24
is
being
looked
at
potentially
by
both
agencies.
G
So
please
stay
tuned.
I
think
this
will
be.
You
know
a
hot
topic
of
conversation
as
it
makes
its
way
through
the
various
committees
and
communities.
Thank
you.
B
Thanks
we
had
a
meeting
of
the
santa
clara
county
airport
land
use
commission
and
we
discussed
once
again
updating
the
comprehensive
land
use
plan
for
the
san
jose
airport,
and
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
was
the
recent
faa
study
that
shows
airplane
noise
is
even
more
annoying
than
previously
thought
which
I
can
attest
to.
I
live
under
the
south
flow
for
san
jose
airport,
and
you
know
how
we
might
factor
that
into
the
update
to
the
club
for
san
jose
airport
if
we
factor
it
in
so
interesting
discussions
thanks.
L
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
was
very
pleased
to
see
our
community
member
bruce
carney,
be
very
present
in
tonight's
meeting
and
to
raise
the
the
good
work
that
was
done
by
the
environmental
sustainability
task
force,
and
one
of
his
requests
was
that
we
we
look
at
the
recent
actions
of
san
jose
and
see
if
it
might
be
possible
to
accelerate
our
efforts
in
time
as
well.
L
I
know
that
we've
received
a
lot
of
recent
information
about
the
amount
of
time
that
we
have
to
take
very
meaningful
actions,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
mechanically
how
we
can
refer
that
to
the
council
committee.
That
will
be
meeting
at
some
point
soon,
but
I
I
would
like
to
see
that
issue
of
accelerating
the
date
for
our
carbon
neutrality
goals
referred
to
to
the
committee.
C
Great,
thank
you.
Let
me
turn
it
over
turn.
Your
question
over
to
staff.
That's
all
right!
Council,
member
libra,
please.
AK
I
would
ask
if
there's
interest,
to
do
this
from
other
council
members
and
find
out
if
there's
a
consensus
on
this.
D
C
Council
member
libra,
do
you
want
to
just
restate
your
strong
motion
and
then
we
can
see
if
it
gets
a
second
and
take
the
vote.
L
L
C
C
Great
wonderful,
thank
you,
councilmember
shawwalter,
okay,
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
lieber
seconded
by
council
member
show
walter.
So
we'll
just
do
I,
I
think,
just
a
raising
of
the
of
the
hands
as
it's
a
strong
motion.
So
all
those
in
favor
and
I
just
raise
your
hand
all
right-
looks
unanimous
great.
Thank
you,
councilmember
lieber.
Anything
else.
Thank
you.
C
C
Right,
thank
you.
So
we'll
move
on
to
item
10,
which
is
adjournment
thanks
so
much
everyone
for
joining
us
tonight,
and
maybe
some
of
you
joined
us
yesterday
too,
and
our
next
city
council
meeting
will
be
held
next
week
on
november
16
2021
until
then
stay
healthy
and
our
meeting
is
adjourned
at
9
37
pm
thanks.
Everyone
have
a
great
night.
