Thank

I
enjoy
coming

every
every
year
to
provide
an
update
about
what
we
are
doing
in
the
Multicultural
engagement
program.
You
all
know
me.
My
name
is
Nancy
because
I
manage
the
Multicultural
engagement
program
for
the
city
of
Mountain
View.
E
Two
years
ago
we
became
part
of
the
communication
and
Office
Division
that
led
the
overall
communication
and
Multicultural
community
outreach
program
with
Lincoln
rights
as
Chief
communication
officer
that
change
change
and
provided
a
lot
of
energy
to
the
Multicultural
engagement
program.
The
MEP
support
public
access
to
information
that
improves
resident
involvement
in
local
public
decision
making.
Well,
we
do
we
provide
this
support
by
translating
essential,
essential
documents
interpreting
at
Community
meetings
and
identifying
multilingual
Outreach
for
opportunities.
E
The
Multicultural
engagement
program
builds
and
maintain
relationship
with
within
our
diverse
cultural,
diverse
city,
which
include
the
Latino
Community
Chinese
and
Russian
Community
beyond
the
translations,
that
we
do.
We
conduct
Outreach
at
city
and
community
events
and
through
the
WhatsApp
and
WeChat
applications
that
some
Community
use
as
a
mean
of
communication,
a
very
powerful
tool
which
I
will
talk
later
about
it.
The
MEP
also
leads
the
Spanish
and
the
Chinese
language
Civic
leadership
Academies
tonight.
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
just
go
briefly
about
some
of
these
elements.
E
E
Okay,
we
build
and
maintain
relationship
and
we
build
Bridges,
so
how
we
do
that.
We
believe
that
by
providing
information
and
opportunity
for
engagement
to
the
community,
we
we
build
those
those
connections
and
to
give
you
a
an
idea,
the
and
the
scope
of
work
while
we
do
at
map
I
will
give
you
just
a
few
ideas
of
the
of
the
work
we
are
doing
and
by
three
hourly
interpreters,
translators
and
one
Outreach
worker.
So
we
now
we
are
a
team
of
seven
eight
years
ago.
E
It
was
only
a
part-time
me
and
three
of
three
very
part-time
employees
in
this
working
with
the
Chinese
and
the
Russian
community,
and
now
we
have
a
team
of
seven
very
strong
team
so
last
year
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
we
did,
we
provided
support
and
we
are
still
providing
support
on
an
ongoing
basis
to
the
housing
and
eviction
help
center
and
the
rent
stabilization
program.
This
includes
translations
and
review
of
all
written
dsfri
FAQs
to
webinars.
E
We
also
provided
Outreach
and
interpretation
as
needed
for
the
Google
master
program.
We
provide
elevation
interpretation
again
for
the
artery
zoning
Outreach
as
needed.
We
supported
the
HRC
recovering
connection
and
history
of
housing
event
that
happens
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
We
provided
a
translation
for
Flyers.
Translation
for
description
will
help
with
the
evaluation.
We
provide
a
simultaneous
translation
interpretation
during
the
event.
We
also
were
very
busy
providing
support
to
the
housing
element.
E
We
did
two
things
we
help
with
Outreach
connecting
at
the
city
with
key
Grassroots
groups
like
the
tenant
coalition
step,
the
sea
doll,
the
the
solidarity
fund,
the
Community
Action
team
and
the
ambassadors.
We
also
were
able
to
provide
and
offer
simultaneous
interpretation
every
time
they
were
meeting
with
the
community.
We
also
provide
interpretation
to
during
the
CNC
meetings
and
we
translate
news
releases,
all
the
the
news
releases
that
our
our
division
generally,
we
translated
in
Spanish
and
and
Chinese
mostly
and
Russia,
not
needed.
E
E
So
how?
What
else
are
we
doing?
We
are
developing
Future
Leaders
and
how
we
do
that.
We
have
three
very
strong
programs.
The
first
one
is
the
Spanish
language,
language,
Civic,
Leadership
Academy,
the
Chinese
language,
Civic,
Leadership,
Academy,
that
this
year
was
the
first
time
that
the
city
of
Mountain
View
implemented
that
and
the
ambassador
program
we
had
in
November
2021
during
the
pandemic
Ambiance
and
all
the
things
that
were
happening.
We
were
able
to
recruit
18
members
of
the
Latino
community
and
the
academy
was
very
successful.
E
We
did
it
through
Zoom,
we
met,
we
had
a
lot
of
zoo
meetings
and
then
we
decided
that
we
needed
to
have
a
graduation
and
we
need
to
have
a
moment
to
connect
as
community
and
then
in
in
in
April
we
decided.
Okay,
let's
do
it
in
Chinese.
Now
again
it
was
so
well
received.
We
we
were
so
extremely
successful.
We
had
70
participants
and
we
have
100
retention
and
then
now
also
we
have
the
ambassador
program.
E
That
is
consists
of
the
graduates
of
the
the
Spanish
language
Academy,
and
they
are.
They
help
us
a
lot
with
Outreach
sharing
every
information
from
City
that
the
city
is
doing.
An
example
of
this
is
like,
for
instance,
they
were
able
to
prove
to
go
door
to
door
and
deliver
648
Flyers
regarding
housing,
so
it's
just
going
door
to
door
and
providing
information.
E
Okay,
one
thing
that
we
did
unique
and
I-
and
this
was
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic-
was
that
we
understood
that
access
to
devices
were
extremely
important
to
increase
literacy
development
and
involved
with
the
city
we
provided
devices
to
to
to
the
Spanish
language,
civil
religion,
Academy
participants,
with
with
the
partnership
with
the
Los
Santos
Mountain
View,
Community
Foundation.
They
provided
a
grant
in
where
we
were
able
to
provide
brand
new
laptops
to
participants
as
well
as
Ambassador
that
did
not
have
a
device
a
working
device
to
connect.
E
E
So
also
we
we're
also
engaging
with
communities,
and
how
are
we
doing
that?
Well,
we
are
assisting
with
with
the
survey
to
support
language
access
policy
development.
We
had
a.
We
had
a
survey
to
learn
about
how
people
were
learning
about
city
services
for
language
access.
We
are
providing
our
present
Technologies
support
from
man
to
build
a
foreign.
E
People
having
a
complete
the
application
or
providing
a
Technology
support
in
case
they
need
it.
We
also
help
with
translating
of
documents
we
have
with
Outreach
providing
information
in
several
languages.
My
team
was
there,
we
have
assistant
in
Chinese,
Russian,
Spanish
and
English.
One
thing
that
we
are
doing
that
is
very
popular
is
celebrating
the
other
Muertos.
We
will
be
doing
that
in.
E
Let
me
see
how
I
say
this:
we
are
going
to
be
celebrating
this
October
29th
and
it's
at
the
same
time
that
monster
batch
is
happening,
but
understanding
that
these
two
two
celebrations
are
very
different
and
they
have
different
Roots.
We
are
the
diversity
and
the
differences
between
those
two
celebrations.
E
We
are
also
developing
a
plan
to
be
more
intentional
about
how
we
Outreach
to
people
and
how
we
can
go
to
places
and
and
and
provide
a
bridge
between
what
the
city
does
and
what
the
people
need
and
like,
and
the
last
thing
we
did
was
we
provided
support
at
the
eviction
help
center
and
that
started
during
the
pandemic
and
also
since
January.
We,
my
staff,
the
Multicultural
engagement
staff,
is
providing
language
assistance
to
people
that
need
information
and
don't
have
the
the
and
need
support
understanding
how
the
system
works.
E
So
next
one,
so
this
is
my
my
brief
about
what
the
Multicultural
engagement
does.
I
just
need
to
to
emphasize
that
I'm
able
to
do
what
we
do
because
of
the
collaboration
and
the
the
work
we
do
together.
My
I
have
a
very
strong
team
and
and
and
I
just
need
to
acknowledge
that
they
are.
You
know
they
are
passionate.
They
are
com,
they
have
a
great
commitment
for
the
work
they
do
and
they
understand
how
you
know
the
feeling,
the
emotions
and
the
needs
of
the
community.
E
A
C
C
C
Several
years
ago
we
had
talked
about
adding
additional
languages
and
I'm
happy
to
see
that
coming
to
fruition.
I
was
curious,
actually
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
how
that
first
session
went
how
the
engagement
with
that
community,
in
the
leadership
academy,
went
and
also
if
there
are
plans
to
expand
it
to
any
other
languages.
E
Well,
I:
let's
see
people
were
very
interested.
It
was
a
bit.
It
was
a
different
experience
for
them,
because
here
we
are
local
government
with
council
members
and
city
manager,
talking
one-on-one
and
the
in
connection
and
providing
a
space
that
is
safe
and
a
place
where
we
talk
about
trust
and
we
are
very
transparent
about
it.
E
What
we
do
so
people
really
enjoy
that
they
were
very
impressed
by
the
fact
that
the
majority
of
the
women
that
were
there,
the
people
were
women
and
they
and
they
highlighted
that
so
everybody
was
attending.
We
were
supposed
to
do
in
zoom
and
suddenly
people
said
no.
We
want
to
get
together.
We
want
to
meet,
we
want
to
see
each
other
facing
so
then
we
decided
to
move
some
of
the
sessions
in
person
and
everybody
show
up.
So
it
was
a
very,
very
powerful,
happy
and
very
exciting
opportunity
for
me.
E
A
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
Nancy
and
Lenka,
and
your
team
for
all
that
you've
done
for
the
community
and
certainly
with
us
and
for
us
I,
had
a
question
a
little
bit
related
to.
If,
like
adding
new
languages,
I'm
wondering
if
you've
seen
the
demand
for
the
languages,
you
do
do
change
in
the
last.
H
E
We
well
not
other
people,
understand
and
know
more
than
we
that
there
is
deserve
it
that
is
available
and
they
have
the
connection
with
the
city.
Yes,
people
request
translations
in
in
in
Spanish
and
also
in
Chinese
in
regards
to
other
languages.
Sometimes
we
do
really
have
requests
for
people
like
Hindi
or
modern
other
languages
all
related
to
housing,
and
then
what
that
happened?
We
have
a
system
in
where
we
can
just
by
phone
call
a
company
that
provides
this
service.
F
Thank
you
for
that.
Chair,
Lynn,
Vice,
chair,
just
to
add
to
what
Nancy
was
sharing,
something
that
the
city
is
doing
right
now
we
are
exploring
the
development
of
a
language
access
policy,
so
that
will
help
guide
us
in
which
languages
that
we
provide
translations
interpretations
for,
and
so
that
is
something
that
we
have
been
working
on
over.
You
know
the
last
several
months
so
that
will
help
guide
us
moving
forward.
So
just
wanted
to
add
that
to.
I
Thank
you
Nancy,
thank
you,
as
always
to
you
and
all
of
your
team,
for
all
of
the
work
you're
doing
and
for
the
collaboration,
and
it's
always
exciting,
to
hear
a
presentation
about.
What's
been
going
on
recently
and
Lincoln.
Thank
you
for
being
here
as
well.
Very
nice
to
meet
you
I
do
have
a
few
questions.
I
I
was
wondering
about
Census
Data,
the
most
recent
available
census
data
and
just
curious
about
what
the
latest
Census
Data
say
about
the
most
commonly
used
languages
other
than
English
among
residents
of
Mountain
View,
and
this
is
related
to
Vice,
chair
Sylvester's,
query
about
whether
there
have
been
any
shifts
and
so
just
curious.
You
know
what
trends
there
might
be
in
the
Census,
Data
I
think
the
last
time
I
checked
online
for
the
Census
Data.
They
like
there
hadn't
been
a
posting
of
the
latest
information.
I
J
F
The
number
is
about
3
600
individuals
who
are
Mountain
View
residents
and
then
with
speaking
Asian
Pacific
island
languages,
it's
about
19
of
the
population
and
then
for
speaking
English
less
than
very
well,
it's
about
5700
I,
don't
have
the
breakdown
as
to
which
specific
languages,
those
are
that
are
Asian
and
Pacific
island
languages
and
then
speaking,
other
Indo-European
languages.
It's
about
12.8,
nearly
13
percent
of
Mountain
views
residents
and
speaking
English
less
than
very
well
it's
about
20,
close
to
2200
residents.
F
However,
we
don't
have
a
breakdown
as
to
how
many
of
those
would
be
speaking
Russian
as
far
as
the
data
that
we
have
readily
available,
but
that's
kind
of
a
high
level.
Look
at
you
know
what
we're
looking
at
and
what's
especially
important
to
us,
is
about
those
who
speak
English
less
than
very
well
who
are
not
English
proficient
and
that's
where
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
there
is
language
access
and
bringing
government
closer
to
all
residents
in
our
community.
I
You
and
I
know
that
having
tried
myself,
it
can
be
very
challenging
to
get
the
census
breakdown
within
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
without
having
to
like
put
in
an
application
and
pay
thousands
of
dollars
and
Etc
and
their
considerations
about
sizes
sample
sizes.
But
but
it
is
it.
It
would
be
so
helpful,
I
think
to
have
the
information
Language
by
language
to
really
have
a
sense
of
again
to
chair
Sylvester's
question
from
earlier
about.
Are
there
you
know?
Are
there
certain
Trends
in
kind
of
up-and-coming
languages,
so
to
speak
up
and
coming
languages?
I
What
I
mean
is
that
that
you
know
there
might
be
a
need
for
and
I'll
also
make
one
other
comment
related
to
that
that
many
of
you
have
probably
heard
me
make
before,
which
is
that
the
U.S
census
does
not
collect
data
on
use
of
American,
Sign,
Language
or
any
other
sign
language
America.
If
someone
reports
using
American
Sign
Language,
it
is
coded
to
English,
which
is
totally
Incorrect
and
inappropriate
for
it,
but
just
wanted
to
make
a
plug
for
it.
I
One
is
it's
so
funny,
since
the
program
change,
changed
names
to
map,
I
I
would
say:
oh,
is
it
Multicultural
or
multilingual?
Is
it
engagement
or
empowerment
and
I
actually
saw
in
the
agenda
for
today
it
says
multilingual
engagement
program,
so
just
perhaps
for
when
we
have
the
minutes,
if
it's
possible
to
update
the
name
and
it'll
help
people
like
me,
who
are
just
always
forgetting
to
to
try
to
remember
the
name
correctly
and
then
finally,
I
had
just
a
quick
question.
E
E
We
learned
that
there
are
some
time
of
the
year.
That
is
better
for
some
groups
than
others,
and
we
did
it
already
in
the
whole
year.
We
did
too
we're
ready
to
do
a
second
one,
so
this
year,
what
we
are
doing
is
helping
is
creating
programs
to
develop
leadership.
So
we
can
have
a
break
and
and
pay
attention
and
listen
and
plan
and
talk
to
people
and
then
for
the
following
year,
as
you
say:
September
October,
Spanish,
language,
Academy,
2023
and
the
spring
of
2000,
the
following
Chinese
Academy.
B
Thank
you
and
before
we
move
on
I,
do
want
to
note
that
link
I
gave
a
great
overview
of
the
2021
ACS
estimates
and
not
every
ACS
year
has
a
full
breakdown
of
all
of
the
different
languages.
So
we
do
have
the
2020
data,
which
provides
a
more
granular
view
of
the
different
languages
spoken
in
Mountain
View,
and
we're
certainly
using
that
data
to
inform
the
programs
that
Nancy
is
running
in
the
language
access
policy.
That's
underdevelopment.
A
Thanks
I
guess:
I'll
move
on
to
my
question
on
comments,
Nancy
and
Lenka.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
and
sharing
the
updates
with
us
and
Nancy.
It's
great
to
see
you
I
know.
You've
worked
really
closely
with
us
ever
since
you
were
formerly
mcop
and
I
know.
I've
worked
with
like
IDC
and
Eileen
Lee,
who
who
do
the
Mandarin
translation
and
I
know
how
hard
you
guys
have
worked
to
grow
your
program.
A
A
I'm
sure,
like
you
know,
there
are
other
folks.
Other
groups
that
work
with
city
council
that
also
would
love
to
see
an
increased
participation
with
those
groups.
Among
you
know,
immigrant
communities
and
communities
that
don't
speak
English
as
a
first
language.
So
can
you
sort
of
talk
a
little
bit
more
about?
Maybe
how
your
group
might
be
involved
in
that
recruitment?
I
know
the
leadership
academies
are
a
huge
sort
of
way
of
doing
that,
I
off
the
top
of
my
head
I'm.
A
Trying
to
think
of
you
know,
for
example,
I
think
the
advisory
body
like
announcements
and
like
the
application
forms
and
everything
I
think
they're
only
in
English.
Right
now,
if
I'm
correct,
like
I,
don't
think
there
are
any
translated
into
Spanish
or
Chinese
if
they
are
I,
haven't
seen
them
and
then
also
like.
A
If
there's
more
of
a
I
I
understand
that
I
think
we
were
told
that
your
group
would
provide
translation
services
not
just
like
to
public
participants
at
city
council
switch
I
know
you
already
talked
about,
but
also
like
say
if
we
had
a
member
join
us
who
didn't
speak
English
as
a
first
language
like.
How
would
that
look
for
that
person
to
be
able
to
participate
in
an
advisory
body,
for
example,.
E
Well,
you're
asking
several
questions,
sir.
The
last
one
I
think
it
would
require
more
conversation
to
see
how
can
we
support
a
person
that
needs
a
language
support
to
be
participating
in
a
commission?
We
have
we.
It
is
something
that
we
need
to
discuss
to
see
how
that
can
happen
in
regards
to
the
the
people
that
graduate
in
going
to
serving
or
being
a
volunteer,
we
have
from
the
Latino
Community
we,
the
Spanish
language
Academy.
We
have
several
that
have
been
serving.
E
You
have
Fernando
that
was
here
with
you,
the
HRC.
We
have
two
members
that
are
part
of
the
EPC.
We
also
have
people
that
go
into
working
and
supporting
non-profit
organizations
and
creating
their
own
groups.
For
instance,
you
have
Community
Action
team
they're,
all
graduate
from
the
from
the
Spanish
language
Academy
members
of
the
solidarity
fund
are
graduate
from
the
LA
from
the
Spanish
language
Academy,
so
they're,
serving
in
different
with
the
in
different
role
in
different
places,
and
also
the
same
with
the
Chinese
Language
Academy.
E
We
have
a
person
that
is
is
saying:
the
Performing
Art
a
group,
a
perform
mean
art
community
and
she
as
soon
as
she
graduated,
and
we
talked
about
a
different
opportunity.
She
asked
she
applied
for
it
and
she
was
appointed.
So
yes,
we,
we
had
several
people
that
are
working
on
developing
their
leadership
at
a
higher
level
level.
E
One
more
thing
about
that
is
that
that
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
talking
to
people
providing
information,
sharing
information
in
different
ways
how
they
can
serve
I.
Think
it's
a
process.
It
doesn't
happen
over
time.
Some
people
might
feel
very
intimidated
by
a
a
a
committee
or
something
once
they
know
and
they
discover
their
own
power
and
they
understand
how
the
system
works
and
how
and
then
it's
easier
for
them
to
to
venture
into
that.
I
always
talking
about
it.
E
I
share
information,
some
people
sometimes
I'm
very
busy,
and
eventually
you
know
which
they
say.
Okay,
this
is
ready.
Let's
do
it.
Regarding
languages,
we
translated
HRC
description
in
Chinese,
Spanish
and
English,
so
we
can
provide
that
information
to
people
and
there
order
that
might
be
in
other
languages.
But
the
only
one
I'm
aware
that,
because
we
did
it
ourselves,
is
the
HRC
commission,
Commission.
F
Well,
thank
you,
commissioner
Lynn,
and
something
else
that
our
Multicultural
engagement
program
team
does.
Is
they
remain
in
contact
with
graduates
of
the
Civic
Leadership
Academy,
so
we
consider
them
being
connectors
in
the
community.
So
when
there
are
commission,
Advisory
board,
openings
Nancy
and
the
team
will
share
it
within
those
networks
and
translate
when
appropriate,
in
order
to
kind
of
broaden
our
reach
into
the
community,
to
let
folks
know
in
their
language
as
to
these
opportunities
that
are
available
to
them.
A
E
Commissioner,
Lynn
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
if
you
want
more
information
about
the
the
different
academies
you
can
visit
our
webpage,
you
have
photos
and
names
of
people.
You
will
see
a
lot
of
people
that
you
already
know
and
our
webpage
is
alive,
always
changing.
We
actually
were
able
to
translate
the
the
graduate
from
the
Spanish
Academy
we're
inviting
people
from
the
Chinese
community
and
we
were
able
to
translate
what
they
were
saying
in
Chinese.
So
you
can
see
that
this
is
a
very
alive
and
dynamic
page.
E
So
I
invite
you
to
visit
our
webpage,
we're
always
changing
and
with
the
communication
division
we
are
improving
and
getting
stronger.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that.
Thank
you
to
Lenka,
because
you
know
she
guys
us.
We
have
a
lot
of
new
tools
and
I'm
really
enjoying
how
we
are
working
with
the
community
and
I'm
bringing
devices
and
and
people.
E
A
A
B
Thank
you
chairwen.
So
the
purpose
of
this
item
is
to
revisit
the
subcommittee
appointments
that
were
discussed
at
the
September
1st
meeting.
The
council
did
approve
the
hrc's
work
plan
on
the
September
19th
week.
Excuse
me,
September
13th
meeting
and
those
three
subcommittees,
as
we
discussed
and
as
approved,
would
be
the
housing
and
security
storytelling
subcommittee,
the
bystander
intervention,
training
subcommittee
and
the
mental
health
subcommittee.
B
Commissioner
registraw
and
vice
chair
Sylvester
indicated
their
interest,
and
there
was
an
assumption
that
commissioner
mokido
would
be
interested
given
that
she
had
proposed
the
project.
So
if
we
want
to
confirm
the
interest
in
each
of
those
committees
and
revisit
the
housing
insecurity
subcommittee
in
order
to
ensure
that
there
are
only
three
Commissioners
sitting
on
that
subcommittee
in
order
to
avoid
Brown
act
issues
due
to
having
a
quorum.
Those
are
the
goals
of
today's
discussion.
A
Okay,
great
thanks
for
that
update,
Laurel
just
to
check
in
because
I
know,
commissioner
Webb
said
he
would
be
late,
but
don't
know
if
you've
heard
from
him.
Okay
so,
but
we'll
continue
the
discussion
without
him
and
he
already
indicated
his
interests
during
the
last
meeting.
So
do
you
want
us
Laurel
in
any
way
to
like
how
you
want
us
to
conduct
this,
or
do
you
want
us
to
like
kind
of
work
it
out
amongst
ourselves?
B
In
terms
of
structure,
I
think
the
number
one
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
housing
and
security
storytelling
has
no
more
than
three
Commissioners
on
it,
and
there
are
a
couple
of
options
by
which
to
approach
this.
But
there
are
several
Commissioners
who've
indicated
their
interest
on
the
subcommittee,
who
will
not
be
serving
on
the
HRC
in
the
new
year,
and
one
option
is
for
those
Commissioners
to
it,
as
I.
B
Think,
commissioner
Solomon
volunteered
to
do
at
the
previous
meeting,
spend
their
effort
and
time
on
other
projects
in
order
to
allow
the
continuing
Commissioners
an
opportunity
to
serve
in
continuity,
and
then
an
alternative
would
be
to
have
the
Commissioners
who
will
be
leaving
the
commission
serve
on
this
subcommittee,
knowing
that
there
will
be
new
Commissioners
and
continuing
Commissioners
who
may
be
able
to
step
up
to
serve
on
the
subcommittee
so
I
suppose.
The
first
question
is
which
approach?
Well.
First,
is
everyone
who
indicated
their
interest
in
that
subcommittee
still
interested
in
are?
B
A
Thank
you
and
then
I'm
also
one
of
the
Commissioners
that
expressed
interest
but
I.
Let
the
other
Commissioners
know
earlier
today
and
then
I've
also,
let
you
know
Laurel
that,
even
though
my
term
is
not
up,
I
will
unfortunately
have
to
resign
my
my
spot
on
the
HRC,
because
I'll
be
moving
to
San
Mateo
at
the
end
of
the
year.
So,
along
with
commissioner
ball,
I
will
be
vacating
my
seat.
I
Thank
you
a
couple
of
things
on
this
point.
I
I
wanted
to
reiterate
that
I
also
have
the
same,
take
the
same
position
that
I
did
last
time,
which
is
that
I
I
think
that
in
just
considering
how
my
time,
my
my
remaining
time
on
the
HRC
can
be
best
used,
I
think
that
closing
out
some
of
the
activities
from
the
discrimination
and
inclusion
in
housing
project
I
think
that
would
be
a
helpful
use
of
my
time.
There
may
be
some
potential
overlap.
I
I'll
speak
about
this
later
when
we
get
to
the
last
item
of
the
agenda,
but
there
may
be
a
little
bit
of
overlap
with
the
new
subcommittee
on
housing
and
security
storytelling,
so
I
it
would
be
if
it
is
the
case
that
there
is
some
overlap.
I
would
be
happy
to
find
a
way,
perhaps
through
Laurel
and
avoiding
any
brown
act
issues
to
if
there
would
be
some
to
kind
of
pass.
Some
information
off
to
the
other
committee
ready
and
also
I,
wanted
I
thought.
I
D
A
D
H
I
have
no
preferences
but
I'm
hearing
the
three
people
who
are
at
least
two
of
the
three
people
who
are
vacating
seats,
saying
they're
happy
not
to
take
an
assignment
and
I
respect
that
I
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
if
that's
what
they
want
and
I'm
Sorry,
Charlie
and
I'm,
not
I,
wasn't
quite
sure
where
you
were
leaning
on
that.
My
only
advice
would
be
that
the
the
bystander
intervention
training
commit
subcommittee
could
potentially
get
a
lot
of
work
done
before
the
end
of
the
year.
H
J
Think
my
what
I
would
say
is
I
hate
to
lose
the
institutional
knowledge
that
all
three
of
you
have
and
if
we
can
take
advantage
of
that
or
capture
that,
or
you
know,
I'd
hate
to
see
you
guys
step
completely
away.
When
we
have
another
couple
months
where
you
could
really
add
value,
and
it
might
actually
make
the
transition
easier
when
the
new
people
come
in
as
a
as
opposed
to
I,
don't
know.
A
Okay,
yeah!
No
thanks
for
that
that
input.
That's
yeah
good
to
good,
to
know,
and
also
just
so
that
to
sort
of
assuage
your
concerns,
Laurel
will
be
like
the
ultimate
repository
of
institutional
knowledge
so
and
she's
not
going
anywhere
like
I'll
I'll
speak
on
her
behalf,
but
but
yeah
totally
totally
hear
you
on
that,
commissioner,
egg
straw
and
and
thanks
for
that
input.
Commissioner
nakidu,
do
you
have
any
sort
of
preferences
or
thoughts?
No.
D
H
Point
of
clarification,
I
wasn't
assuming
that
the
subcommittees,
even
if
they
were
missing
a
member,
would
or
two
I
didn't
assume
that
they
would
not
do
any
work.
I
assume
that
they
would
work.
Even
if
there
were
two
people
on
them
or
one
people.
One
person,
one
person
would
be
a
little
challenging,
but
I
assume
that
two
people
would
start
the
work.
Yeah.
A
I
think
I
mean
my
interpretation
of
what
the
two
Commissioners
are
saying
were
just
that
like
there
were
more
because
the
three
of
us
who
are
vacating
are
more
experienced
and
maybe
not
to
lose.
That,
like,
as
commissioner
Rickshaw
said,
like
the
institutional
knowledge,
I
think
that's
I
see
a
nodding
head,
so
I'll
assume
that
I
yeah
yeah,
so
given
that
I
think
I
feel
comfortable
being
on.
A
One
of
the
subcommittees
doesn't
have
to
be
the
one
that
I
expressed
interest
in
I
also
worked
on
the
bystander
subcommittee
last
year,
so
happy
to
also
stay
on
with
that
and
I.
Don't
know
if
commissioner
Solomon
or
commissioner
ball,
whether
sort
of
that
input
from
the
remaining
Commissioners
who
will
be
staying
on
whether
this
sort
of
helps
you
in
one
way
or
another
or
change
your
mind
or
something
like
that.
C
B
If
I
can
summarize
what
I've
heard,
it's
that
there's
a
desire
for
a
balance
of
having
continuity
with
continuing
Commissioners
and
involving
Commissioners,
who
will
be
vacating
their
roles
so
that
there's
an
opportunity
for
new
Commissioners
to
join
and
to
to
use
their
institutional
knowledge
and
knowledge
of
the
community
to
kick
these
projects
off.
So
with
that
in
mind
for
the
mental
health
subcommittee,
the
interest
is
in
Commissioners
nokido
and
Rick
strand
Vice,
chair
Sylvester,
who
I'll
be
continuing
bystander.
B
Intervention
training
has
interest
from
Commissioners
ball,
break
straw
and
web,
so
one
person
who
will
be
vacating
into
who
will
be
continuing
and
housing
insecurity.
Storytelling
has
interest
from
Commissioners,
commissioner
Webb
and
vice
chair
Sylvester,
who
will
be
continuing
as
well
as
all
three
Commissioners
who
will
be
vacating.
Given
that
commissioner
Solomon
has
volunteered
to
wrap
up
loose
ends
on
the
history
of
housing,
color
of
law
pieces
of
the
projects
from
last
year,
and
that
commissioner
ball
will
be
on
the
bystander
intervention
training
subcommittee.
B
A
Yeah
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
I
think
that
one
I
think
Vice
chair,
Sylvester
and
I.
You
know
like
two
years
ago:
I
think
that
was
something
that
grew
out
of
you
know
the
the
storytelling
projects
that,
like
we
were
very
interested
in
at
least
that's
how
I
remember
it
so
and
then
so
happy
to
join
that
commission,
so
I
I
just
want
to
check
in
with
Commissioners
Ballin
Solomon
if
you're
comfortable
with
those
assignments
given
okay
great.
A
So
in
that
case,
I'm
hearing
for
the
mental
health
subcommittee,
we
have
Commissioners
melchidu,
Ray
straw
and
vice
chair
Sylvester,
who
will
all
be
staying
on
and
for
bystander
training
subcommittee.
We
have
commissioner
ball
on
who
will
be
vacating
that
come
January
and
then
Commissioners
make
sure
on
Webb
who
will
be
continuing
on
for
housing
and
security,
storytelling
that
one
I
got
a
little
lost
on,
but
I
have
Vice,
chair,
Sylvester
and
me
and
then
sorry
was
Miss.
The
third
will.
A
A
We'll
just
keep
our
fingers
across
that
commissioner.
Webb
is
still
fine,
with
the
two
commissions
two
subcommittees
that
he
expressed
interest
in
for
the
next
fiscal
year
and
that
can
always-
and
oh
so,
for
Commissioners.
No
kidu
like
also
know
that
you
know
when
the
new
Commissioners
come
on
or
at
any
point,
if
you
need
to
say
if,
like
other
things,
just
happen
in
your
life
or
something
you
know,
you
can
always
vacate
a
spot
on
the
subcommittee.
A
D
I
have
a
question:
is
I
mean
knowing
from
the
past
right?
Well,
we
were
sick
for
a
long
time.
I
mean
there
are
no
guarantees
that
there'll
be
additional
Commissioners
coming
on,
because
we
have
no
idea
what
applications
have
been
put
in
and
even
if
that
were
the
case,
if
everyone
would
pass
so
what
if
no
other
Commissioners
come
in
or
we
don't
get
enough
numbers.
So
what
happens
to
these
subcommittees.
C
B
They
would
continue
with
Commissioners
who
would
be
willing
to
serve
on
them,
and
if
that
is
the
case
in
typically
in
January,
when
new
Commissioners
are
sworn
and
unseated,
there
is
a
revisiting
of
the
subcommunity
appointments
to
appoint
them
to
new
commissions.
If
they're
is
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
total
HRC
members
serving,
then
it
would
also
be
an
opportunity
to
rebalance
the
workload
or
to
read
the
scope
of
the
projects
within
the
submittees
I
believe
all.
B
H
Oh
that
hand
raised
of
mine
was
I,
believe
it's
four,
so
the
minimum
to
meet
Quorum,
assuming
that
the
body
has
seven
people
or
seven
openings,
which
means
that
everyone
would
have
to
attend
every
meeting
and
be
there
present
for
the
entire
thing
and
blah
blah
I
can't
swear
to
that.
But
I'm
pretty
sure
that
is
the
truth.
I.
J
B
J
H
A
I
think
way
back
when
I,
don't
think
I
think
I
had
a
like
personal
interest
in
the
HRC,
but
it
really
was
talking
to
you
that
helped
me
like
decide
to
go
for
it
eventually.
So
yeah
I
think
that's
really
good
indication.
So
great,
let's
see
are
there
any
other
questions
comments
I
think
we
have
a
good
balance
right
now,
going
forward
for
the
next
quarter
or
at
least
we're
the
first
part
of
the
fiscal
year.
So.
J
A
So
my
understanding,
since
the
fiscal
year
I
think
began
in
September
or
something
right,
Laurel
or
maybe
this
month
or
something
so.
Basically,
yes,
so
the
subcommunities
will
start
meeting
is
my
understanding
and
then
you,
amongst
the
three
two
or
three
of
you
on
each
subcommittee,
you'll
decide
with
Laurel
like
when
it
is
you
want
to
meet
and
the
Cadence
at
which
you
want.
You
feel
that
you
need
to
meet
at
so
these
are
working
meetings,
many
times
you're,
making
more
sort
of
substantive
decisions
at
these
meetings.
A
But
no,
we
don't
want
you
to
be
working
after
hours,
Laurel
for
sure,
but
anyway,
so
I
think
that'll,
Laurel,
I
think
when
we
had
Audrey
and
Christina
working
with
us
from
staff,
they
would
kind
of
split
up
the
subcommittees
on
like
amongst
themselves.
But
my
understanding
is
that
you
you
will
you
be
the
only
staff
member
working
with
all
the
subcommittees?
That's.
A
Okay:
okay,
that's
a
big
big
job,
so
yeah,
but
hopefully
like
I,
think
Vice,
chairperson
of
Lester
and
I,
like
the
bystander
subcommittee
I
think
last
year
laid
a
decent
amount
of
groundwork.
I
think
so.
Fingers
crossed
for
that
yeah
so,
and
yeah
and
I
can't
see
who
oh
I
can't
see.
Who
made
this
comment
but
yeah
a
lot
of
lunch
meetings.
A
Okay,
great
excited
to
do
excellent
work
in
the
next
quarter,
so
and
then
Solomon
on
to
the
next
section,
which
is
the
commission
and
staff
Commons
questions
and
commission
reports
and
I
know.
Commissioner
Solomon,
you
already
indicated
that
you
had
an
item
that
you
wanted
to
discuss
so
I'll.
Let
you
go
first,.
I
I
So
one
item
that
we
had
pending
was
there's
one
individual
I
will
not
use
her
name,
but
one
individual
who
had
participated
in
an
interview
that
was
recorded
with
her
permission,
but
we
did
not
have
a
release
form
because
there
was
some
question
about
whether
we
would
be
able
to
Archive.
So
we
would
be
able
to
Archive
the
interview
whether
she
would
permit
archiving
of
the
interview
so
I
was
able
to.
I
I
There's
a
second
issue,
which
was
that
chair,
Lynn
had
reached
out
to
our
subcommittee
I
think
a
few
weeks
after
our
event
in
Late
July
to
let
us
know
that
there
were
some.
There
were
four
individuals
who
had
provided
email
addresses
indicating
they
were
interested
to
speak
with
us,
and
some
of
us
didn't
either
didn't
get
them
the
email
or
missed
the
email,
and
so
some
time
went
by.
I
We
had
a
discussion
about
this
yesterday
in
our
subcommittee
meeting
about
how
to
proceed
in
relation
to
these
four
people,
and
we
felt
that
the
best
way
to
proceed
would
be
to
contact
them
and
really
understand
you
know.
Was
it
the
that
they
wanted
to
share
a
story?
Was
it
that
they
actually
just
kind
of
wanted
to
talk
to
someone
about
their
experience?
Did
they
maybe
want
to
referral
to
some
kind
of
service
or
support?
I
What
we
agreed
in
our
subcommittee
meeting
I
would
tell
them
in
terms
of
Storytelling,
is
basically
to
you
know,
make
them
aware
that
that
the
project
for
which
we
had
the
in-person
event
is
essentially
wrapping
up,
but
that
there
is
a
new
subcommittee.
Therefore,
a
new
project
of
the
HRC
starting
that
will
be
focused
on
housing
and
security.
Storytelling,
so
I
will
try
to
find
out
from
folks
if
they
actually
have
a
story
that
they
want
to
share.
You
know,
through
an
interview
and
potentially
be
recorded.
I
I
will
see
if
their
story
may
actually
fall
under
the
category
of
Housing
and
security
and
if
they
might
be
interested
to
be
to
be
in
contact
with
the
new
subcommittee
about
potentially
participating
in
that,
if
they
really
are
interested
to
share
their
story
about
discrimination
or
inclusion
and
have
it
archived
and
made
available
to
the
public,
we
can
follow
up
at
Camila.
A
research
assistant
is
that
the
right
term
that
excuse
me
for
forgetting
that
she's
been
a
a
researcher?
Thank
you.
I
A
research
assistant
to
Michael
Khan
from
Stanford
Camilla
continues
to
work
for
Michael,
and
so,
if
we
may
have
one
or
two
additional
stories,
perhaps
Camila
would
be
able
to
do
transcription.
I
would
be
willing
to
do
to
interviews,
so
we
can
follow
up
and
see
if
that
would
be
possible.
But
in
essence
what
we
decided
as
a
subcommittee
yesterday
is.
I
So
those
are
my
updates
about
that
and
Vice
chair
Sylvester
had
had
several
other
follow-up
items
that
for
the
subcommittee
to
discuss
and
I
believe
that
there's
our
action
steps
that
Laurel
had
shared
yesterday
about
those
items,
so
I
will
turn
the
floor
over
to
Vice
chairs
Sylvester,
if
I
may
and
and
or
Laurel,
to
speak
about
those
items.
If
that's
okay,
Carolyn.
B
She
had
mentioned
that
she
was
hoping
to
see
a
few
more
updates
to
the
webpage,
which
will
be
made
shortly,
including
adding
a
video
gallery
eventually
adding
the
oral
histories
and
or
videos
that
are
available
and
meant
to
be
shared
more
publicly
and
just
making
more
information
about
the
event
and
answers
to
the
questions
received
at
the
event
available
as
final
a
final
punch
list
for
closing
up
the
project,
and
we
will
have
City
staff.
Take
care
of
that.
H
H
H
H
A
That
makes
sense
it
that
makes
it
even
easier
if
it's
already
uploaded
to
YouTube
and
is
in
that
format
already
like
I
guess,
the
only
question
I'd
have
for
Laurel,
and
maybe
that
was
actually
for
the
communications
team
that
was
here
earlier
more
for
them
but
like
if
we
would
be
able
to
ask
if
staff
could
just
upload
it
onto
the
Mountain
View
server
and
just
get
a
wider
audience
for
that.
That
would
that
would
be
great,
I.
Think.
J
Had
a
request
from
the
Palo
also
historical
Association,
for
the
link,
because
they
were
fascinated
by
the
concept
and
wanted
to
since
it's
very
similar,
the
history
housing
in
Palo
Alto
in
here
they
wanted
to
watch
it.
So
it's
nice
to
know
that
it's
up
there
and
I
was
wondering
that
too
so
I'm
glad
it
was
brought
up.
H
I
think
history
of
housing,
all
one
phrase
I
believe
and
that's
where
all
the
other
things
we're
talking
about
will
be
added,
but
a
lot
of
stuff
is
already
there
and
I
think
some
of
us
would
also
be
happy
to
be
a
resource
to
other
communities,
since
other
communities
were
a
resource
for
us
and
gave
me
their
crib
sheet
and
all
the
things
that
they
did
to
prepare
for
this
event.
So.
A
A
Might
mean
more
work
for
some
of
the
subcommittee
members,
so
yeah
thanks
for
doing
that,
and
thank
you
Laurel
for
looking
into
the
city
of
Mountain
View
YouTube
I'm
on
like
YouTube
a
lot
so
like
that's
all
I'm,
just
sort
of
wondering,
but
anyway
great.
Are
there
any
other
reports
from
commissioners.
A
I
Oh,
thank
you.
I
I
wanted
to
share
that
I
received
a
message
from
Audrey
Seymour,
ramberg
Monday,
and
she
was
responding
to
a
message
from
Captain
Canfield
of
Mountain
View
PD
and
Captain.
Cantrell
was
looking
for
a
representative
of
the
local
LGBT
community.
He
specifically
said
he
was
wondering
if
there
was
a
rep,
he
had
originally
contacted
Audrey.
I
He
was
wondering
if
there
was
a
representative
who
was
active
with
the
HRC
and
saying
that
the
Ripa
subcommittee
hasn't
found
many
Mountain
View
focused
LGBT
organizations
or
people
and
they'd
like
to
get
a
broader
perspective,
and
indeed
Audrey
replied
that,
based
on
our
lgbtq
plus
needs
an
assets
assessment
from
some
years
ago.
There
was
not
a
significant
organized
Network.
She
copied
me
because
I
had
been
on
the
subcommittee
that
did
that
assessment
and
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
everybody
know
that
so
this
was
Monday.
G
I
Certainly,
if
I
just
worded
it
that
way
so
anyway,
I
have
not
gotten
a
reply
with
any
specifics,
but
I
just
wanted
you
all
to
know,
because
this
is
connected
to
a
previous
HRC
subcommittee
and
project
that
you
know
I'm
I'm
happy
to
put
out
the
word
and
if
anybody
else
has
any
suggestions
of
whom
to
reach
out
to
once,
I
do
understand
what
the
purpose
of
the
Outreach
is
and
I
see.
Vice
chair,
Sylvester
raising
your
hand.
Thank
you
very
much.
I'd
be
happy
to
put
the
message
out
that
way.
H
G
H
I
G
H
Just
a
couple
of
of
random
things:
I
know
that
chair
Lynn's
position
obviously
didn't
get
posted
in
time
in
term
of
recruitment,
but
if
there
are
enough
applicants
in
the
existing,
if
there
is
an
existing
pool,
that's
big
enough.
Could
we
recruit
from
that
or
would
it
have
to
be
opened
up
as
a
whole
new
application
process?
H
H
H
I
B
G
I
A
Yeah
I'm
trying
to
look
up
the
invitation.
Oh
here
it
is
yeah,
okay,
great
yeah,
looking
forward
to
it
is
that
it
for
commissioner
reports
that
was
going
to
be
mine
but
good
to
know
everyone
knows
about
it
and
then
I
know
there
was
a
staff
report,
at
least
on
the
the
the
new
requirements
for
disclosures.
That
was
that
we
all
received
earlier
this
week,
so
yeah
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Laurel.
B
Thank
you,
chair,
Lynn
I
have
two
staff
reports
for
you
today.
One
is
you
have
all
received
an
email
this
week
and
perhaps
several
regarding
the
September
27th
council
meeting,
at
which
the
city
council
added
the
HRC
to
the
list
of
designated
officials
for
the
city
that
are
required
to
file
a
statement
of
economic
interest
with
the
California
fair
political
practices.
Commission.
B
The
council
will
be
amending
City
policy
in
the
future
to
require
any
advisory
body
member
who
has
not
pulled
out
the
form
to
be
excluded
from
meetings
that
go
beyond
the
due
date
of
the
form
as
an
unexcused
absence.
So
that
will
be
the
penalty
for
not
filing
in
the
future,
and
you
will
also
receive
an
email
if
you
have
not
already
from
the
city's
form
700
filing
platform
called
net
file.
B
D
H
B
H
A
B
I
Okay,
I
would
also
add
there
is
I
believe
Laurel.
We
had
discussed
this
I'm
just
sharing
general
information.
That
I
think
applies
to
everybody
that,
at
whatever
point
you
leave
the
Commission
in
the
future.
Whenever
that
is,
there
is
also
you
also
file
again
as
an
exit
there's
an
exit
form
that
that
covers
and
the
penalty
it
sounds
like
is
then.
B
C
A
B
D
Okay,
yeah
I,
think
one
thing
to
also
ask
Laurel
is
even
though
the
cities
panel
team
might
just
be
unexcused
options
from
meetings,
the
state
levels
at
the
state
level
or
what
about
level
outside
of
the
city?
There
might
be
other
penalties
or
fines.
If
you
don't
so
I
think
it
will
be
also
a
good
idea
to
find
out
what
that
might
be.
B
You
so
with
that
I
will
take
any
other
questions
about
that
topic
by
email
or
phone.
Please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
I'm
very
happy
to
answer
your
questions
and
help
you
with
this
in
in
that
forum
and
then
my
next
announcement
or
would
be
something
that
you
likely
already
know,
given
that
we
are
meeting
virtually
the
council
did
in
mid-september
extend
the
virtual
meetings
provision.
A
Great,
thank
you
and
then
I
see.
Commissioner
Webb
has
signed
on
so
I'll
just
if
it's
okay,
I'll
quickly
update
him
on
the
subcommittee
assignments
that
we
made,
and
so
we,
commissioner
web.
If
you
can
hear
us,
we
we
had
you
continue
on
in
your
in
the
subcommittees.
We
assigned
you
basically
the
subcommittees
that
you
had
expressed
interest
in
in
the
last
meeting.
So
that's
the
housing
and
security
storytelling
subcommittee
and
the
bystander
training
subcommunity,
so
you'll
be
getting
I
hear
you.
Thank
you.
