From YouTube: December 1, 2022 Human Relations Commission Meeting
Description
Live teleconference meeting of the Mountain View Human Relations Commission
A
A
So
this
meeting
it's
light
on
formal
business,
but
it
might
be
a
bit
heavy
on
reflection,
as
we
end
the
year
and
say
goodbye
to
chair
Lynn,
commissioner
Solomon
and
commissioner
ball,
and
prepare
to
welcome
three
new
Commissioners
in
2023,
which
I'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
later.
So
a
big
night
on
the
emotion,
so
I
hope.
Well,
we
will
get
through
this
together.
A
A
Okay,
so
we
now
have
a
policy
around
absenteeism
that
we
need
to
enforce
so
Excuse
me,
while
I
read
to
you
about
that
policy
per
Council
policy
k-02
on
Council
advisory
bodies,
I
must
now
propose
that
the
commissioner's
absence
be
defined
as
excused
or
unexcused.
The
commission
will
then
determine
by
General
consensus
whether
the
status
of
the
absence
is
excused
or
unexcused
for
the
list
of
qualified
excuses
laid
out
in
the
council
policy.
A
A
Great
I
figured
if
we
didn't
say
what,
then
it
would
be
pretty
hard
to
proceed,
but
thank
you
for
the
clarification
I
didn't
want
to
share
anything
we
weren't
supposed
to
share.
So
this
being
an
excused
absence,
I
propose
that
for
the
list
of
qualified
excuse
excuses
defined
in
Council
policy
k-02,
commissioner
rakestraw's
absence,
which
is
for
personal
illness,
which
is
considered
a
qualified
excuse,
be
defined
as
excused.
If
we
can,
if
the
Commissioners
Commissioners
are
in
agreement,
please
raise
your
hands.
A
Commissioner,
Webb
I
don't
see:
okay,
great,
oh
I'm.
Sorry
your
virtual
hand
was
raised.
Sorry
I
was
expecting
a
physical
hand,
but
thank
you.
Okay.
Moving
right
along
to
item
three
minutes
approval
the
minutes
for
the
November
3rd
2022
meeting
Regular
meeting
have
been
delivered
to
commission
members
and
copies
posted
on
the
city
hall
bulletin
board.
If
there
are
no
Corrections
or
additions,
emotion
is
ordered
in
order
to
approve
these
minutes.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions?
Questions
comments,
Corrections.
A
C
C
A
B
A
Yes
and
I
do
believe:
I
might
be
incorrect,
that
those
were
the
those
were
the
last
first
seconds
and
votes
by
Commissioners
ball
and
Solomon,
so
Psy
moving
along
oral
Communications
from
the
public.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
reserved
for
persons
wishing
to
address
the
commission
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
commission
from
discussing
or
acting
on,
non-agenda
items.
A
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
a
non-agenda
item?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone
Laurel
will
display
the
timer
on
the
screen.
I
do
see
that
we
have
one
attendee
I,
believe
that
is
and
Eric
I'm
going
to
mess
up
your
name,
because
I
promised
you
I,
wouldn't
Eric,
who
will
be
joining
the
Commission
in
January
I,
believe
that's
the
same
Eric.
A
So
if
that
is
the
case,
it's
wonderful
to
see
you
here,
we'll
see
you
again
in
January
and
if
you
would
like
to
say
hello
feel
free
to
raise
your
hand
and
you
will
be
able
to
speak,
seeing
no
hands
I
will
move
along
unfinished
business
item
five.
The
first
item
of
unfinished
business
is
an
update
from
the
housing
ins,
sorry
housing
and
security
subcommittee.
This
giant
Green
Bush
behind
me,
I
think
I'm
actually
allergic
to
so
to
forgive
me
as
I
choke
through
the
meeting.
It's
really
unfortunate.
A
No
action
will
be
taken
on
this
item,
but
we
can
take
questions.
I
will
be
providing
an
oral
update
on
our
subcommittee
I.
Believe
we've
met
only
once
since
our
last
HRC
meeting,
so
hopefully
nothing
I,
say
is
too
repetitive
from
what
you
heard
last
time.
As
you
all
know,
we're
working
with
Malia
Perez
from
reach
potential
and
Annette
Lynn
is
staying
with
our
subcommittee
as
a
community
member
and
volunteer.
A
So
in
the
in
the
last
month,
we've
done
a
lot
to
define
a
sort
of
a
sense
of
the
event,
the
overview
of
the
event.
We
are
still
working
on
refining
that
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
of
that
about
that
in
a
second,
we
are
looking
at
dates
in
may.
We
have
an
open
action
item
to
nail
a
date,
but
this
will
be
an
in-person
event
in
May
and
we're
already
very
excited
so
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
the
concept
for
the
event
is
like.
A
What
their
lives
are
like
what
their
interests
are
like,
perhaps
some
discussion
around:
what's
their
definition
of
housing,
security
and
insecurity?
All
of
this
is
TBD.
So
forgive
me
I'll
stop
right
there
on
that
part
and
then,
after
some
amount
of
discussion,
we
will
have
those
that
are
unstably,
housed,
stand
up
and
present
themselves
to
the
room
and
then
have
them
come
to
the
front
at
which
point
we'll
have
either
a
storytelling
or
or
let
people
tell
their
stories
or
have
a
panel
or
something
TBD.
A
So
plenty
of
chance
for
those
folks
to
talk
about
their
lived
experience
finishing
it
up
with
group
discussion
and
we're
also
thinking
of
having
unstably
housed.
Children
and
young
adults
provide
art
that
could
be
visible
in
the
room
like
a
gallery
and
that's
where
we
are
at
right
now.
I
happily
entertain
questions.
A
I
see
no
questions
next
month,
I
promise.
We
will
have
a
bigger
update
for
you
and
we're
really
really
excited,
as
this
thing
starts
to
come
together.
I
think
we're
all
feeling
very,
very
positive
about
it
and
we'll
be
bringing
on
a
new
commission
number,
hopefully
to
the
subcommittee
next
month
as
well.
Oh
I
see
a
hand
from
commissioner
Solomon.
E
I,
thank
you.
It's
not
a
question,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
sounds
a
really
exciting
agenda
and
just
such
an
interesting
idea
to
have
folks
who
are
members
of
the
priority
population.
If
you
will,
for
this
particular
event,
to
be
part
of
the
initial
discussions,
but
not
being
identified
as
such,
I
think
that's
great,
so
I
look,
hopefully
I
will
be
available
on
that
date
and,
if
so,
I
really
look
forward
to
attending.
You
had
better
be.
A
F
A
Far,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
We
are
really
really
excited.
I.
Think
Malia,
Malia,
Perez's
involvement
is
has
been
so
helpful
in
bringing
so
much
passion
and
ideas
to
this
event,
she's
amazing
and
I
hope
that
you
all
know
her
and
get
a
chance
to
to
get
to
work
with
her.
At
this
event,
she
is
amazing,
so
we'll
share
more
as
we
go.
Hopefully,
hopefully,
we'll
have
a
fully
fledged
event
here
in
a
couple
months
and
be
able
to
share
the
whole
thing
with
you.
Then.
A
F
F
F
You
know,
as
we
had
mentioned
the
previous
meeting
we
couldn't
meet,
but
it
was
still
a
good
meeting
and
we
spent
more
time
just
brainstorming
on
you
know
what
the
main
goals
should
be
and
the
format
and
maybe
partners
that
we
could
bring
in
you
know
just
kind
of
defining
what
mental
health
really
is,
because
it's
it's
a
it's
a
really
sensitive.
But
yet
it's
a
very
broad
topic.
F
F
So
we
we,
you
know,
turn
around
with
different
ways
how
we
could
approach
this.
So
we
could
redesign.
You
know
a
program
that
would
be
beneficial
to
to
the
community
and
I
think
we
commercial
Direction,
was
supposed
to
look
into
Nami.
We
mentioned
Nami.
Most
people
know
Nami
because
they
seem
to
have
a
very
good
format
and
that
seem
to
be
all
inclusive
and
they're
very
credible
because
they
deal
with
mental
health
issues
and
things
like
that.
So
that
was
one
place.
F
We
were
going
to
kind
of
start
with
to
see
what
they
were
like
and
then
she
mentioned
another
group
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
parents
helping
parents.
She
was
going
to
also
look
into
because
she
was
more
familiar
with
that.
But
hopefully
you
know
next
time
we
will
have
a
little
bit
more
meat
to
it,
but
it
was
all
in
all
a
very
good
brainstorming
session
and
you
know
we're
still
Gathering
our
resources
still
trying
to
flush
out
a
few
things
because
of
the
nature
of
just
this
topic.
D
Webb,
oh
okay,
great
no
I
was
just
wondering
I'm
pretty
sure,
since
it
was
your
first
session,
you
guys
didn't
talked
about
your
timing
on
when
you're
thinking
about
having
the
event,
because
the
earlier
you
can
find
that
out.
That
would
definitely
help
all
of
us
because
we
want
to
plan
our
events
around
those
as.
F
F
D
F
On
and
how
the
event
formation
would
look
like,
and
also
so,
structuring
ourselves
also
how
we're
going
to
conduct
ourselves
going
forward.
You
know
facilitating
how
frequent
our
meetings
we're
just
trying
to
do
our
Logistics
as
well.
So
that's
what
we
focus
on
and
since
it
was
our
first
meeting
too,
but
that's
something
we
could
put
on
our
agenda
for
next
meeting
right.
D
F
A
Thank
you
so
moving
along,
we
don't
have
an
update
from
the
bystander
intervention
train,
bystander
intervention,
training
subcommittee
this
month.
So
moving
on
to
six
new
business,
there
is
no
new
business
on
the
agenda
for
this
meeting,
so
we
will
continue
on
to
commission
and
staff
comments,
questions
and
commission
reports
so
item.
Seven,
no
action
will
be
taken
on
any
of
the
questions
raised
by
the
commission.
At
this
time.
State
law
prohibits
the
commission
from
discussing
on
discussing
or
acting
upon
substantive
non-agenda
items.
B
B
The
city
attorney's
office
will
be
hosting
a
brown
act,
training
for
all
new
and
incumbent
board,
commission
and
committee
members
in
January,
2023
trainings
will
be
held
virtually
in
the
evenings
to
facilitate
as
many
people
attending
as
possible,
and
the
city
clerk's
office
will
send
out
invitations
to
all
of
you
and
who
are
going
to
be
attending
the
training
in
the
next
few
weeks.
I
also
wanted
to
remind
you
about
the
form.
700
I
want
to
remind
Commissioners
that
your
form
700s
are
due
to
the
fair
political
practices.
B
B
I
have
been
made
aware
that
there
were
some
concerns
about
the
process
to
determine,
excuse
and
unexcused
absences
at
the
November
3rd
meeting,
which,
like
today,
can
included
in
a
general
consensus
vote,
and
there
was
some
surprise
around
that
inclusion.
They
want
to
clarify
that
this
process
was
introduced
to
bring
the
HRC
into
alignment
with
Council
policy
k02
governing
Council
advisory
bodies.
The
policy
establishes
the
expectation
that
Committee
Member
or
excuse
me.
B
B
The
policy
policy
k02
that
Allied
this
in
a
summary
of
the
attendance
policy
should
be
an
email
that
you
may
have
from
me
from
the
past
and
if
you
need
help
identifying
or
excuse
me
finding
that
policy
or
would
like
it
recent
to
you,
please
just
let
me
know
and
I'm
happy
to
provide
that
information
I'm
going
to
pause
here
and
ask
if
there
are
any
questions
about
those
first,
three
items
as
I've
been
moving
through
them,
rather
quickly.
The
cognizant
of
your
time
no.
A
B
B
D
F
Have
two
more
I
actually
do
have
a
comment?
Oh
sorry
about
that,
because
I
get
hearing
again
for
the
second
time,
the
first
time
around
yes,
you're
right,
it
was
a
bit
confusing
and
you
know
because
we
were
not
familiar
with
it
and
hearing
it
again.
It's
seemed
to
me
that,
because
we
don't
know
the
details,
when
someone
is
absent
and
that's
okay
but
I,
think
the
way
it's
read,
it
seemed
like
the
decision
is-
or
it's
already
defined
by
the
codes.
F
What
is
excuse
or
on
excuse-
and
it's
just
asking
us
to
agree
I,
don't
think
we
have
a
church
to
say
whether
we
agree
or
not,
and
so
I'm
trying
to
understand
why
we
need
to
vote
on
what,
when
it's
already
determined
what
excuse
or
unexcused
based
on
the
code,
because
it
just
claims
that
oh,
this
is
an
excuse
based
on
so
so
so
you
know
code
or
just
one
excuse.
So
why
are
we
voting?
It
makes
it
uncomfortable.
B
B
B
So
I
want
to
remind
you
that
temporary
changes
to
the
brown
act
that
have
legalized
virtual
meetings
will
be
coming
to
an
end
with
the
quotes
of
the
state
of
emergency
declaration
in
California
and
in
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
which
will
happen
in
the
new
year.
So
Council
authorization,
professional
meetings
will
discontinue
a
meeting
of
February
all
board
commission
and
committee
meetings
from
February
1st
2023
onward
will
be
held
in
person.
B
Commission
meetings
will
do
so
many
person
and
then,
with
my
final
update
for
you
and
I'll,
take
questions
on
both
of
them
is
brief:
Council
appointments,
so
the
recommendation
from
the
council
appointments
committee,
including
new
and
incumbent
appointments
to
the
HRC,
will
go
before
the
council
for
consideration
on
December
13th
and
that's
it
so
I
welcome
any
questions
the
Commissioners
have
about
those
last
two
updates
or
the
first
three.
If
something
has
occurred
to
you
since
we've
spoke
about
this
commissioner
Paul.
Yes,.
C
A
A
One
of
them
is
in
the
attendee
box,
I'm
almost
positive.
So
yes,
yes,
I,
don't
maybe
I
need
not
say
more
about
that
now
until
the
council
votes,
but
there
the
interviews
were
it
pretty
intense.
Actually
it
was
big
panel
interview
with
everybody
together
and
a
lot
of
really
interesting
folks
in
our
community.
So
it
was
nice
after
some
years
of
begging
and
pleading
yeah.
A
Seeing
none
right
now
I'm
going
to
move
on.
Thank
you
very
much
Laurel.
That
was
a
lot
of
information
to
digest
on
a
lot
of
topics.
So
thank
you
for
for
spearheading
that
so
now
on
to
commission
questions
and
comments,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
allow
time
to
acknowledge
our
colleagues
and
would
like
that
are
leaving
and
would
like
to
end
the
meeting
on
this
note.
A
E
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
We
have
still
been
wrapping
up
some
transcript
edits
from
interviews
that
were
conducted
under
the
history
of
discrimination
and
inclusion
and
housing
in
Mountain
View
work.
So
we
we
have
been
moving
forward
with
that
and
specifically
for
Spanish
language
interviews.
We
want
to
be
sure
we
have
sign
off
from
the
participants
on
the
transcripts,
so
I'm
continuing
to
move
forward
with
that
with
the
subcommittee
and
with
Camila
from
Stanford,
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that
until
it's
finished.
A
A
A
As
you've
heard,
we
will
have
new
members
starting
in
January
and
I
think
we
are
quite
fortunate
to
have
quite
a
mix
of
new
folks.
I
had
the
pleasure
of
hearing
them
during
their
panel
interviews
and
the
people
are
that
we
have
that
will
be
joining
us,
are
committed,
bright,
diverse,
energetic,
well-versed,
well-connected,
awesome
people,
so
we
you
know
have
that
to
look
forward
to,
but
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
and
recognize
that
depart
departing
Commissioners,
ball
and
Solomon,
and
recently
departing
chair
Lynn,
who
I
believe
is
now
on
the
call.
A
A
I
also
want
to
give
you
all
a
chance
to
say
something,
those
of
you
who
are
leaving
to
say
something.
If
you
would
like
to
say
goodbye
and
then,
of
course,
all
of
us
to
have
a
chance
to
say
something
to
you.
If
we
have
anything
we'd
like
to
add
to
what
we've
signed
on
your
card,
but
I
will
start
I
want
to
just
say
the
three
of
you
have
left
enormous
impact
and
shape
the
HRC
in
ways
that
will
continue
long
after
you
are
gone.
A
I
personally
appreciate
your
heart,
your
soul,
your
passion,
your
ideas,
your
skills
and
the
so
many
many
hours
you
all
gave
to
the
HRC.
So
you
leave
us
with
inspiration
and
we'll
miss
you,
but
you
better
all
be
in
touch
because
we
still
need
you
around.
So
with
that
said,
would
I
don't
want
to
put
anyone
on
the
spot,
but
would
any
of
our
departing
folks
like
to
to
say
anything?
I
know,
Vice
or
chair
Lynn
had
wanted
to
say
something
as
well.
G
C
So
I
think
the
last
few
years
have
really
shown
us.
The
importance
of
community
and
they've
shown
us
how
how
much
we
miss
when
we
don't
have
community
and
we're
kind
of
locked
away
in
different
ways.
And
it's
it's
interesting,
because
I'll
talk
to
people
who
live
in
cities
around
the
Bay,
Area
or
other
parts
of
the
country
and
many
of
them
don't
feel
a
sense
of
local
community.
They
don't
have
like
a
local
connection.
C
They
don't
have
like
a
feeling
that
the
people
in
their
City
just
kind
of
get
together
and
spend
time
together
as
people
they
don't
have
a
wonderful
walkable,
downtown
or
like
great
festivals
or
other
things
and
I
always
love
to
share
about
like
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
in
Mountain
View
and
like
the
the
events
that
go
on
the
fact
that,
like
we
walk
with
our
kids
to
school
and
there's
a
mob
of
kids,
we
walk
with
like
10
or
12
kids
to
school
most
days
right.
The
neighborhood
schools
are
really
truly
neighborhood.
C
Schools
that,
and
you
know,
I
I
talk
with
I
mean
my
dad
lives
in
Cupertino
and
he
comes
to
Mountain
View
and
he's
like
it's
more
alive
here.
There's
more
people
there's
more
stuff
doing
things.
It
feels
like
a
city
designed
for
people,
and
there
are
many
many
different
sources
of
that.
But
I
think
the
people
who
choose
to
do
HRC
are
are
part
of
that
and
I
appreciate
all
of
you
and
the
time
and
energy
and
and
care
that
you've
put
into
making
this
a
city
that
is
great
to
live
in.
A
E
Thank
you
well,
I
will
say:
I
joined
the
HRC
I
guess
a
little
over
six
years
ago,
and
it's
so
interesting.
Commissioner,
ball.
What
you
said
about
communities
so
I
was
interested
to
join
the
HRC,
because
I
really
was
looking
for
more
of
a
sense
of
community
in
Mountain
View
I
I
had
lived
in
Mountain
View
for
many
years
seemed
like
a
great
place
to
live,
but
I
really
was
lacking
a
sense
of
community
here.
E
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
All
all
I
can
say
is
whatever
folks.
Whatever
groups
you'll
work
with
going
forward
in
any
capacity,
they
are
really
really
lucky
to
have
the
three
of
you
who
are
departing
us
tonight,
yeah.
So
thank
you.
You
can
never
quite
leave
us.
You
will
always
have
that
impact
that,
in
the
imprint
you've
left
upon
us,
but
whoo
I'm
feeling
both
really
good
and
really
sad.
At
the
same
time,
so
I
would
love
to
open
up
the
floor.
If
anyone
would
like
to
make
any
further
comments
or
bid
there,
I
do.
D
D
I'd
like
to
tell
people
how
I
feel
in
person
and
with
the
three
of
you
guys
and
of
course,
by
the
rose
and
and
when
I
came
on
board
I
had
no
expectations.
I
knew
nothing
about
the
process
and
you
guys
were
so
kind
and
so
thoughtful
and
so
giving
of
yourselves
to
helping
us
to
become
better
Partners
in
this
process
and
I'm
truly,
truly
grateful
for
you
guys
for
doing
that
and
I
know.
You
think
it's
nothing
that
it's
just
a
you
know
a
part
of
your
day,
but
it
has
impact.
D
D
Even
though
you're
not
here,
you're
still
a
mountain
viewing.
If
that's
a
thing,
Mountain
View
nurse,
whatever
it
is
you're
still
part
of
us
and
we're
we're
all
a
part
of
a
something.
That's
bigger
and
we're
part
of
this
community
and
and
I'm
really
happy
that
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
serve
with
you
guys
and
also
to
become
part
of
your
community,
because
I've
always
had
that
sense
of
walking
down
the
street
and
and
going
to
my
local
stores
and
not
having
that
sense
of
you
know.
This
is
my
city.
D
G
A
D
F
A
F
Well
I
mean
Javier
said
it
all:
I
decided
real,
well
and
I
feel
the
same
and
I
I.
Think
I
said
it
a
lot
on
my
cards
to
how
much
I
really
appreciate
having
the
opportunity.
I've
worked
with
with
all
of
you,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
again
and
wish
you
all
the
best
and
keep
in
touch
come
back
and
thank
you,
foreign.
A
Well,
I
only
can
encourage
you
all
to
stay
active
in
your
communities,
whatever
you
do
going
forward,
should
you
have
the
time
and
the
energy
to
do
so,
because
you
are
invaluable
to
whatever
work
you
apply
yourself
to
so
I
fully
expect
to
be
turning
to
you
or
working
with
you
in
the
future.
With
that
said,
I
actually
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
service
to
the
community.
In
2022,
it's
been
a
year.
A
We've
achieved
an
awful
lot,
despite
all
of
the
issues
in
the
world
in
2022,
and
as
commissioner
ball
said,
this
is
a
commission
that
really
puts
Community
First
that
really
focuses
on
bettering
and
bringing
Community.
So
you
did
that
this
year
and
you
should
feel
very,
very
proud
for
all
the
work
you've
done.
I
look
forward
to
serving
you
next
year
or
seeing
you
on
the
other
paths
that
will
cross
I,
wish
you
and
yours
a
restful
and
restorative
holiday
season.
