A
A
C
A
B
So
the
charter
gives
the
council
two
options
for
handling
a
vacancy
and
states
that
the
council
must
either
appoint
a
new
member
within
30
days
of
the
vacancy
commencement,
so
in
this
case
on
or
before
January
29th,
or
call
an
election
on
or
before
January
29th.
There's
no
mechanism
for
the
council
to
either
appoint
someone
to
serve
as
an
interim
until
an
election
can
be
held
or
leave
the
seat
vacant
until
the
next
general
municipal
election
in
November
of
next
year.
B
B
Oh
we'll
go
back.
The
the
earliest
date
recommended
for
an
election
would
be
August
1st,
which
would
essentially
be
a
standalone
election,
since
it's
highly
unlikely
that
any
other
jurisdiction
would
need
to
consolidate
on
that
date
and
it's
the
highest
estimate
that
we
received
from
the
council,
so
around
2.1
million.
B
The
other
option
is
the
November
7th
date
which
may
see
some
consolidation
from
other
jurisdictions,
so
it
might
be
a
little
bit
lower
in
in
cost,
but
we
won't
have
that
information
until
later
in
the
year,
we
provided
some
examples
of
timelines
for
each
process
which
were
pulled
from
the
report,
but,
as
you
can
see
again,
both
options
come
with
the
tank.
The
same
time
constraint,
which
is
that
appointment
has
to
be
completed
by
January,
29th
or
a
spec.
A
special
election
needs
to
be
called
by
January
29th
foreign
ly.
E
Thank
you,
Aaron
Happy,
New
Year
to
everyone,
so
I
had
a
couple
questions
and
sorry
I
didn't
get
them
in
earlier.
If
we
had
the
opportunity,
I
probably
went
out
last
night,
so
I
have
two
questions.
I
had
one
is
the
for
a
special
election
is
the
timeline
suggested
for
like
the
earliest
of
August?
Is
that
our
staff's
recommendation,
or
is
it
like
the
county
or
the
state
like?
Could
we
potentially
do
something
sooner.
B
The
county
requires
that
the
resolutions
be
delivered
125
days
in
advance
of
the
election,
and
the
nomination
period
has,
to
you
know,
be
substantially
the
same
as
any
other
election
that
we
would
run
so
113
days
to
88
days
prior
to
the
election.
If
we
could
technically
have
it
a
little
bit
earlier.
B
So
in
an
effort
to
accommodate
the
break
that
you've
already
set
up
for
yourselves
and
and
the
kind
of
flow
of
work
that
staff
kind
of
relies
on
through
that
break.
We
suggested
the
August
first
date
because
it
wouldn't
substantially
change
how
long
you
would
have
it
and
a
active
council
member
for.
E
B
E
B
E
You'd
have
to
meet
in
July
to
certify
the
votes-
okay,
okay,
great
and
then
are
we
able
to
add
any
other
items
if
we
were
to
call
those
special
election,
for
example,
the
you
know,
Transit
oriented
tax
item
that
we
didn't
do
this
past
year
that
we
were
planning
to.
Could
we
add
something
like
that
or
any
kind
of
Charter
cleanup
Amendment?
It's
anything
else
to
the
ballot.
B
I'll
take
the
first
part
of
that
and
then
I
think
that
maybe
the
city
manager,
the
City
attorney,
would
have
some
some
weigh-in
on
that
some
things
you
can
put
on
a
special
election,
some
things
you
cannot
so
technically
there
there
may
be
room
to
put
something
on
there.
Of
course,
that
was
not
part
of
the
estimate
that
we
received
from
the
county.
B
F
You
heather
Jennifer,
Lopez,
City
attorney,
I
I
would
have
to
research,
it
I,
don't
think
Charter
amendments
can
go
on
special
elections
and
it
would
depend
on
what
kind
of
tax
measure
you
were
talking
about.
So
I
would
require
a
research.
It
also
I
think,
would
be
very
difficult
for
me
to
pull
together
an
ordinance,
a
tax
measure
or
Charter
amendments
in
this
short
period
of
time,
in
order
to
get
it
on
the
ballot
in
June.
You
would
be
talking
about
just
having
the
city
attorney's
office.
F
E
G
G
B
There
is
work
that
we
need
to
do.
That's
not
necessarily
the
reason
why
the
August
first
date
was
suggested.
So,
let's,
let's
just
say
that
if
you
had
an
election,
the
beginning
of
June-
and
you
want
to
pick
days
that
are
going
to
work
with
having
a
nomination
period
that
spans
for
full
weeks
right
so
Monday
through
Friday
for
four
full
weeks.
G
B
G
All
right,
well,
I,
I
think
the
idea
that
we're
really
not
going
to
meet
from
the
end
of
June
until
mid-september
is
highly
unlikely.
It
has
there
I
suppose
there
might
have
been
one
or
two
years
where
that
happens,
but
it's
certainly
not
standard
operating
procedure.
So
we'll
we'll
see,
there's
there's
just
a
lot
of
work
that
the
city
does,
and
things
are.
You
know,
may
very
well
come
up
that
we
need
to
do
to
meet
in
there,
but
but
but
thank
you,
I
understand
it
better.
H
Can
can
staff
kind
of
reiterate
what
I
mean
aside
from
the
election?
Should
we
go
that
route?
We
know
that
people
would
be
able
to
to
vote.
If
we
go,
the
appointment
process
could
Steph,
maybe
outline
a
little
bit
about
how
public
may
be
able
to
to
provide
that
input.
Aside
from
the
Outreach
that
we've
received
over
the
winter
break
question
so
some
people,
so
some
people
have
success.
For
example,
we
have
the
six
suggested
questions
as
an
attachment.
H
Some
people
have
provided
council
members
with
ideas
of
alternate
questions,
we're
gonna
open
it
up
for
public
comment,
and
so
before
we
go
to
public
comment,
I
thought
it
would
be
informative
for
us
to
be
able
to
share
with
the
public
how
they
might
be
able
to
provide
input.
Aside
from
you
know,
direct
Outreach
to
council
members
as
well
as
you
know,
commenting
tonight
and
how
how
we
might
be
able
to
incorporate
that.
Should
we
go
on
a
you
know,
appointment
route,
so
that
would
be
helpful.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
B
So,
aside
from
this
evening
providing
input,
as
you
said,
you
you
know
reaching
out
to
the
council
as
a
group
and
providing
you
know,
suggested
questions
or
input
on
process
really
after
tonight.
If
the
council
decided
to
to
move
ahead
with
appointment
really
after
tonight.
The
only
thing
that
you
could
spend
more
time
on
are
the
questions
that
you
would
ask
during
interviews,
because
if
you
move
with
appointment
tonight
to
set
everything
in
motion
correctly,
we
kind
of
have
to
get
everything
nailed
down.
B
As
far
as
the
application
and
any
questions
you
may
wish
to
include
in
the
application
the
interview
process,
the
timeline
everything
kind
of
has
to
be
set
tonight,
because
we
have
such
a
narrow
frame
to
work
with.
So
that
would
that
would
be.
My
recommendation
is
that
people
contact
the
council
and
you
know,
speak
at
this
meeting
or
if
you
choose
to
defer
nailing
down
the
interview,
questions
that
you
would
ask
during
interviews
for
the
January
24th
meeting.
You
could
do
that
and
that
would
be
another
opportunity
for
people
to
weigh
in.
H
Great
thank
you,
I
appreciate
that
clarification
and
some
things
since
I've
had
the
the
joy
of
being
on
the
council's
policy
or
you
know,
being
part
of
the
sorry
Clark,
the
council
appointment,
Review
Committee
we've
received
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
cppc,
the
council
policies
and
procedures
committee.
But
given
that
this
is
a
professional,
this
would
be
a
an
appointment
for
a
vacancy
those
see
what
comes
from
the
cppc
would
not
be
necessarily
the
same
guidelines
for
this
process,
and
tonight
we
would
be
going
through
what
we
would
do.
B
Us
the
the
so,
if
I'm
understanding
it
correctly,
the
process
that's
outlined
in
Council
policy
K2
for
appointment
of
body
members
is,
is
a
great
place
to
start,
because
you've
already
got
something
in
writing
and
it's
already
a
process
that
the
public
is
familiar
with
and
that
you
all
are
familiar
with.
So
we
definitely
have
kind
of
woven
a
lot
of
that
into
our
recommendations.
B
As
far
as
the
the
process
for
your
interview
structure,
the
only
thing
that
I
would
say
is
is
a
little
bit
different
is,
since
these
are
likely
to
be
a
longer
a
little
bit
longer
interview
than
and
more
in
depth,
and
certainly
very,
very
important
that
you
would.
It
would
be
a
good
idea
to
set
the
interview
Order
ahead
of
the
interviews,
whereas
when
you
have,
you
know,
EPC
and
whatnot,
we
kind
of
have
maybe
an
order
that
could
be
moved
around.
H
Great
thank
you.
You
know.
I
do
have
a
couple
comments,
because
I
think
one
of
the
things
we've
moved
to
is
group
interviews
as
as
part
of
the
recommendation
and
have
it
kind
of
a
round
robin
style.
But
you
know
I
I
would
hope
that
we
could
augment
that
to
have
you
know
individualized
interviews
for
this,
but
I
think
that
that's
something
Council
can
discuss.
Is
that
correct.
B
F
Would
you
talk
about
a
group
interview
round
robin
I
I
did
not
I
was
not
able
to
watch
this.
The
EPC
interviews,
so
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
process,
but
when
you're
talking
about
round
robin,
are
you
talking
about
they're,
all
basically
they're,
all
in
the
room
and
then
you're
kind
of
going?
You
know
through
each
one
of
them
and
asking
the
questions
and
in
changing
that?
F
H
Yeah,
so
to
clarify,
you
know
when
in
the
past.
Well
what
I
hope
that
these
can
be
in
person
but
I
feel
like
this
is
deviating
into
comments
and
not
questions,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify,
because
the
council
policies
and
procedure
had
had
changed
policy
K2
to
move
to
a
group
interview
style,
and
so
yes,
it
was,
it
would
start
in
basically
alphabetical
order.
H
F
H
That's,
that's
not
my
concern,
I
think
it's,
it's
always
a
logistical
challenge.
Depending
on
we
don't
know
how
many
applicants
should
we
go
down
an
application
route?
We
don't
know
how
many
applicants
so
I
thought
I'd
ask
the
question
now.
So
you
know
another.
Another
question
I
have
is
what
we've
done
in
the
council
appointment
Review
Committee
is
we
have
our
application
process
for
EPC.
There
are
supplemental
questions
and
then
the
council
appointment,
Review
Committee,
actually
has
an
opportunity
to
change
questions.
H
Should
we
see
fit
and
we're
able
to
do
the
same
with
EPC
and
we
have
that
that
time
period
so
to
to
Circle
back
City
Court
Glazer.
My
question
is
you
know
tonight
we
could
come
up.
Should
we
go
the
appointment
route,
we
could
come
up
with
an
application
process,
maybe
a
draft
lift
of
list
of
questions,
and
then
we
would
have
an
opportunity
to
revisit
them
and
perhaps
even
discuss
further
when
we
go
through
the
interview
process,
correct.
I
Well,
I'm
glad
councilmember
committee
started
opening
this
line
of
questioning
because
I
was
going
to
say
these
questions
for
for
comments,
but
I
think
it
is
probably
works
better
to
open
up
some
of
them
as
questions
instead
and
I.
I'll.
Preface
my
questions
by
saying
these
are
all
about
the
appointment
process.
I
I'm
actually
open
to
either
either
the
special
election
or
the
appointment
process,
but
I
do
have
some
questions
about
how
the
appointment
process
might
work
and
a
lot
and
I
have
like
council
member
kame
I've
been
getting
a
lot
of
inquiries
and
suggestions,
a
lot
of
good
ones
and
and
also
a
lot
of
ones
that
can
from
residents
and
also
a
lot
of
ones.
That
kind
of
are
very
different.
We
couldn't
do
all
of
them.
I
I
Have
the
Forum
residents
could
watch
and
then
I
suppose
we
could
have
it
in
person
too?
That's
just
not
the
way
this
person
asks
it,
people
could
watch
and
then
we
could
make
our
decision
on
a
different
date.
Is
that
something
that
that
would
be
feasible,
I'm
not
and
again,
I'm,
not
there's
a
lot
of
possibilities
here.
So
I'm
not
I'm,
not
married
to
this
particular
one,
but
I
just
wanted
to
know.
If
that
would
be
a
possible
option.
I
K
We
could
try
and
incorporate
that
with
the
meeting
that
was
proposed
for
the
end
of
the
month.
Another
idea
is
that
if
you
get
feedback
from
the
public
regarding
certain
questions
that
they
might
want
to
be
asking,
you
could
also
think
about.
Should
you
go
the
appointment
route
you
could
think
about
including
questions
on
the
application
itself.
K
So
I
guess
the
bottom
line
is
yes,
we
could
schedule
a
special
meeting
but
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
it
would
accomplish
other
than
you
know
what
you
all
are
going
to
be
doing
tonight
and
then
again
in
a
couple
weeks.
So
I
would
just
want
a
little
more
clarity,
I
guess,
on
what
what
what
you
all
would
would
want
to
do
in
in
another
meeting.
I
Well,
thank
you
for
clarifying
the
other
thing.
I
was
going
to
ask
about
because
you've
raised
this
to
me
before
that.
Actually,
when
we
talk
about
questions
for
candidates
or
applicants
that
we're
talking
about
two
sets
of
questions,
the
questions
on
the
application
and
then
the
questions
that
we
ask
them
in
some
sort
of
interview
and
I
think
that's
important
to
be.
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
I
was
I.
I
I
was
not
asking
about
the
whether
the
League
of
Women,
Voters
or
some
other
group
I
think
it's
unlikely.
A
group
will
be
able
to
pull
something
together
in
this
time.
Although
I'd
love
to
be
surprised,
yeah
I
was
asking
whether
the
city
could
and
the
what
the
resident
had
thought
was
that
a
space
of
time
between
the
interview
and
us
making
the
decision
would
be
useful.
So
that's
why
I
asked
thank
you.
G
G
B
G
And
just
following
on
in
the
the
discussion
of
the
interview
process,
I
I
do
think
that
this
is
one
of
the
interviews
that
really
does
lend
itself
to
a
group
interview
and
the
reason
I
think
that
is
because
you
know
we
work
as
a
council
and
it's
very
important
to
see
how
people
interact
with
each
other.
You
know
we
we
add
on
to
things
that
you
know
one
person
will
bring
something
up
and
and
the
rest
of
us
May
respond
to
it.
G
One
way
or
another
agree,
add
on
to
it
and
I.
Think
that
understanding
that
give
and
take
is
it's
one
of
the
soft
skills
that's
very
important
in
serving
on
a
council,
so
I
I,
don't
think
this
one
lends
itself
to
being
a
single
interview
as
well
as
some
of
the
other
positions
we
might
be
looking
at.
Okay.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
remaining
questions?
I
have
a
question
that
is
substantially
similar
to
questions
from
council
member
command
vice
mayor
Hicks,
and
that
has
to
do
with
what
we
must.
If
we
decide
to
pursue
an
appointment
process,
what
we
must
decide
today
and
what
we
could
potentially
push
out
until
the
January
24th
meeting.
So,
for
instance,
there
was
a
distinction
made
between
questions
that
would
be
asked
in
the
application
which
we
have
to
pick
now,
but
questions
for
the
interview
itself
could
be
determined
later.
A
B
I
would
recommend
that
you
give
good
consideration
to
the
procedure
that
you
would
like
to
use
tonight
that
the
more
that
we
can
solidify
it
tonight,
the
smoother
your
interview
process
goes
and
so
as
much
as
you
can
get
off
your
plate.
And
if
you,
if
you'd
like
to
give
more
attention
to
questions
you
know
on
the
24th,
then
you
know
certainly
that
that
would
be
appropriate.
But
as
much
as
you
can
nail
down
tonight
that
the
better
off
and
the
more
smooth
the
process
will
be
overall.
A
Okay
and
related
to
that,
we
can
provide
Direction
tonight
on
interview,
questions
and
a
selection
process
that
does
not
preclude
a
majority
at
the
council
in
the
meeting
itself
from
changing
the
questions
or
the
selection
process.
Right,
that's
happened
in
Planning,
Commission
interviews,
for
instance,
over
the
past
several
years.
A
L
F
I
think
you
can
you
could
change
the
questions
and
and
I'm
assuming
you're
talking
about
in
the
beginning.
In
the
meeting
before
you
started
interviewing
any
particular
candidate.
Are
you
talking
about
some
way
sometime
Midway
through
your
interview
process
and
you
decide
to
change
the
questions.
I
think.
The
problem
that
you
need
to
keep
in
mind
is
that
fairness
and
Equity
considerations
are
going
to
be
part
of
this
process.
F
If,
if
you
want
to
change
the
questions,
you
know
right
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
everybody
hears
what
they're
going
to
be.
You
know
before
you
start
the
interview
process.
That
would
probably
be
okay,
but
to
the
extent
that
someone
is
disadvantaged
in
the
process
that
could
create
issues,
and
so
you
just
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
you
decide,
it
is
Equitable
for
all
the
candidates,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
they're,
first
up
or
last
up.
K
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
would
suggest
that,
if
you
all
want
to,
if
you
decide
to
go
on
the
appointment
route-
and
you
want
to
change
questions
that
you
would
change
them
no
later
than
January
24th
at
the
regular
meeting
that
way,
whoever
is
going
to
be
interviewed,
whoever
will
have
applied,
they
will
know
the
questions.
They'll
know
the
order,
because
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
recommend
is
that
you
all
consider
the
city
clerk
doing
a
random.
K
Drawing
of
the
order
of
interviews,
so
I
would
suggest
if
you
do
change
them,
you
you
talk
about
it
tonight
and
then
you
have
time
to
talk
about
it
on
the
24th
as
well,
but
I
I
would
I
would
highly
recommend
that
you
don't
go
past
that
and
change
them
on
the
Fly.
For
all
the
reasons
that
the
City
attorney
just
spoke
about.
K
Yes,
I
I,
you
could
but
again
I
would
say
as
much
certainty
that
staff
have
tonight.
We
will
do
a
much
better
job
in
the
next
three
weeks,
making
sure
that
the
process
is
smooth
and
we're
not
reacting.
You
know
quickly
to
changes
that
are
made,
but
yes,
you
could
do
that,
but
I
would
advise
that
the
direction
that
you
give
us
tonight
be
clear
and
we
get
as
much
certainty
this
evening
and
then
the
24th
be
reserved
more
for
the
interview
questions.
K
If
you
want
to
talk
about
that,
I
think
there
are
some
low-hanging
fruit
on
the
application
process
itself
that
you
really
could
just
solidify
tonight,
and
some
of
the
longer
discussion
sounds
like
would
certainly
be
reserved
for
the
interview
process.
So
I
think
should
that,
should
the
application
process
be
in
the
appointment
process,
be
the
route
you
choose,
I
I
do
suggest
that
we
try
and
nailed
that
down
tonight
so
that
we
can
get
moving
on
it.
We
only
have
three
weeks.
H
Great,
thank
you
so
just
a
follow-up
question
on
some
of
the
discussions.
So
we
kind
of
talked
about
what
the
timeline
would
be.
Should
we
go
the
the
special
election
route,
but
for
the
appointment
it
sounded
like
the
26th
is
not
going
to
be
the
day.
We're
gonna
have
the
special
meeting
for
it
to
interview
applicants.
Is
that
correct,
and
so
did
staff
have
a
new
date
that
they
were
proposing
and
I.
Think
again
in
the
vein
of
trying
to
get
as
much
accomplished
tonight
as
possible.
K
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
member
camay,
so
the
26th
that
does
appear
there
are
a
couple
conflicts
unanticipated
conflicts
for
that
evening.
So
we
would
suggest
that
Council
determine
again.
If
you
choose
the
appointment
route,
a
separate
date
that
would
need
to
be
around
that
time
frame
the
24th
council's
already
meeting
for
your
regular
meeting.
The
25th
would,
you
know,
be
the
next
day,
so
that's
not
ideal,
but
that's
certainly
an
option.
The
25th,
the
27th,
could
also
be
an
option,
also
not
necessarily
ideal.
K
It's
a
Friday
night
and
you
may
have
applicants
or
candidates
that
may
not
be
available
then
so
the
30th
could
potentially
be
an
option
and
I've
already
discussed
this
with
the
city
attorney
and
city
clerk.
Now
it
is
one
day
after
the
29th,
but
I
do
think.
There
is
a
way
that
you
could
do
it
on
the
30th
and
I
would
ask
the
City
attorney
to
address
address
what
we've
spoke
about
and
how
we
would
would
be
able
to
do
that
on
the
30th.
F
Thank
you,
City
Attorney,
Jennifer
Logue,
so
in
doing
a
little
bit
of
research,
I
know
that
our
Charter
does
have
a
strict
30-day
deadline,
but
one
of
the
things
that
is
very
common
in
court
proceedings.
When
deadlines
fall
on
a
weekend
or
a
non-business
day,
it
is
very
common
for
it
to
be
able
to
roll
over
to
the
next
day.
So
because
January
29th
is
a
Sunday
I.
Think
legally,
we
can
argue
that
the
30th.
F
I
I'm
going
to
ask
another
question
that
I
thought
I'd
say
for
comments,
but
now
I
think
it's
better
better
as
a
question,
and
that
is
that
the
when
I
look
at
the
application,
it's
it's
unless
I'm
writing
it
wrong.
It's
extremely
brief,
unlike
the
ones
we
usually
use
for
commissions
and
committees
am
I
missing
some
documentation
because
it
it
we
usually
on
the
commissions
and
committees.
I
Ask
things
like
have
you
ever
been
to
you
know
if
you're
applying
for
the
visual
arts
committee
have
you
ever
been
to
a
Visual,
Arts
committee
meeting
and
and
ask
a
few
questions.
A
few
general
questions
on
your
you
know
your
orientation
to
visual
arts
and
your
thoughts
on
that
and
I.
Don't
see
that
in
this
application
am
I
missing
something
because
I
would
think
it
would
need
to
have
some
of
the
that.
B
No
you're
not
missing
anything,
and
that
was
certainly
you
know.
We
wanted
to
to
give
you
all
the
leeway
to
add
whatever
it
is
that
you
you
wanted
to
this.
So,
however,
you'd
like
to
tailor
it
to
capture
specific
information
as
city
manager,
McCarthy
said
some
low-hanging
fruit,
things
that
you
can
kind
of
glean
from
the
applicant
just
through
the
application
process
that
you
wouldn't
need
to
then
spend
time
asking
questions
about
during
the
interview
process.
So
we
can
certainly
make
any
changes
to
the
application
that
you
would
like.
E
Thank
you
mayor,
we're
talking
about
the
appointment
process,
I
thought
of
the
question.
Is
there
any
requirement
that
we
have
to
interview
everyone
who
applies?
I
guess
my
concern,
frankly,
is
if
we
get
a
large
number
of
applications
and
given
the
short
time
frame
we
have,
you
know
I,
don't
think
it's
realistic
for
us
to
be
interviewing
for
folks
for
12
15
hours
so
is
there?
Are
we
allowed
to
find
come
up
with
some
kind
of
mechanism
to
you
know
narrow
down
the
pool
to
more
reasonable
interview
number.
F
F
E
A
Thank
you
and
that's
a
process
that
I
believe
the
city
of
San
Jose
is
using
so
to
the
extent
staff
may
want
to
explore
that
the
city
of
Tennessee
staff
I,
would
look
at
answer.
Whatever
legal
constraints
they've
had
to
overcome
to
provide
that
policy.
Are
there
any
remaining
questions
not
seen
any
so
we'll
proceed
to
public
comment?
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item?
If
so,
please

A
M
Thank
you,
mayor
I'm,
Bruce,
England
speaking
for
Mountain,
View
Coalition
for
sustainable
planning
and
green
spaces.
Mountain
View.
We
submitted
a
lot
of
suggested
questions
for
the
candidates.
If
you
do
an
appointment,
we
didn't
take
a
position
on
whether
employment
or
special
election
is
the
best
way
to
go.
M
Are
you
familiar
with
Sally's
priorities
and
activities
as
a
council
member,
and
how
are
you
prepared
to
carry
forward
her
Legacy
members
of
the
public
that
follow
Council
decisions
and
changes
in
the
city
know
Sally
Lieber
and
where
she
sit
on
the
issues,
as
cited
in
the
questions
that
follow,
which
I'm
not
going
to
say
when
they
voted
for
her,
the
citizens
were
voting
for
her
positions.
In
our
view,
any
replacement
must
be
familiar
with
the
city
council
operation
issues,
especially
considering
the
incredible
breadth
of
experience
and
knowledge
that
we're
losing
with
Sally's
departure.
N
Thank
you
mayor
and
city
council.
It's
Peter,
Katz
CEO
of
the
Mountain
View
Chamber
of
Commerce
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
taking
on
this
important
task
of
healing
the
City
Council
seat
in
terms
of
process.
The
chamber
respects
whatever
decision
the
council
chooses,
be
it
appointment
or
election.
The
chamber
remains
ready
to
assist
in
any
way
that
we
can
especially
disseminating
the
information
presented
tonight
to
our
membership
via
social
media
and
our
broader
mailing
list.
We
can
also
host
a
forum
if
that's
deemed
appropriate.
N
We
rely
on
you
to
let
us
know
what
would
work
and
what
won't,
but,
regardless
of
approach,
the
interview
process
itself
remains
an
extremely
critical
component
and
we're
grateful
for
the
care
and
attention
invested
in
coming
up
with
sample
questions.
As
you
finalize
the
questions
to
be
asked,
we
would
like
to
suggest
four
additional
ones.
N
N
Second,
what
efforts
would
you
take
to
help
our
existing
businesses
stay
in
Mountain
View,
make
it
easier
for
new
businesses
to
enter
and
reduce
the
number
of
long-standing
empty
storefronts
number
three:
the
downtown
precise
plan,
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
and
the
Matrix
study
are
all
important
projects
that
the
city
is
undertaking
to
ensure
both
short
and
long-term
economic
vibrancy.
How
would
you
instruct
staff
to
prioritize
these
activities
and
four?
N
O
Okay,
hi
I'm
Robert
Cox
speaking
for
the
steering
committee
of
Liverpool
Mountain
View,
we're
sad
to
see
that
council
member
Sally
Lieber
has
resigned.
She
was
a
great
advocate
for
livability
in
Mountain
View,
especially
in
regard
to
our
downtown
and
its
historic
core,
as
the
council
considers
how
best
to
find
her
replacement.
If
you
interview
candidates,
please
question
candidates
on
their
ideas
concerning
key
items
on
the
council's
agenda
for
the
remaining
of
remaining
part
of
Sally's
term.
O
A
particular
interest
to
us
are
the
downtown
precise
plan
part
two
plans
for
the
Castro
Street
Pedestrian
Mall,
the
great
separation
at
Castro
Street,
the
historical
ordinance
update
and
the
parks
and
rec
plan.
It
would
be
great
to
have
someone
on
the
council
who
can
provide
expert
input
on
these
items
with
the
Excellence
that
Sally
lever
would
have.
Thank
you
for
considering
our
views.
O
P
Hi
all
thank
you
for
Council,
for
your
thorough
questions
really
helped
me
kind
of
wrap
my
head
around
what
the
appointment
process
would
look
like
and
I
think
that
I
also
found
it
interesting
that
the
super
majority
of
times
that
this
has
occurred
in
Mountain
View
history.
There
was
an
appointment
process
that
seems
reasonable
and
I
have
plenty
of
faith
in
Council
to
be
able
to
do
avoid
the
sort
of
fiasco
we're
seeing
with
the
house
right
now.
P
So
if
questions
do
come
up
or
including
the
question
of
how
what
how
the
potential
appointees
understand
Sally's
policies
and
how
what
their
vision
would
be
for
how
they
would
possibly
carry
them
forward
or
approach
the
issues
that,
because
it's
filling
a
seat
that
voters
had
to
say
on
a
few
years
ago,
I
have
plenty
of
faith
in
you
all
to
make
an
excellent
decision.
So
good
luck,
Tuesday!
Thank
you.
Q
Q
Q
If
that's
the
case,
then
I
got
to
say
the
the
only
way
you
could
potentially
have
held
an
election
at
this
point
in
time
would
be
to
actually
started
the
election
as
of
the
date
in
which
Sally
Lieber
had
submitted
her
her
notice,
but
in
any
case,
please
make
sure
that
the
public
record
does
clearly
state
that
you
are
actually
Mike
Charter
in
a
very
fixed
deadline,
whether
to
either
a
point
or
have
an
election
already
performed
within
30
days.
That's
all
I
ask
and
in
anything
anything
else.
R
Hi,
thank
you
Council
good
evening,
I'm
here
to
express
my
concern
about
the
potential
threats
to
democracy
posed
by
the
special
appointment
process
being
considered
as
a
citizen.
I
believe
that
one
of
the
most
important
principles
of
democracy
is
the
right
to
choose
our
Representatives
through
fair
and
open
elections
by
bypassing
this
process
and
making
a
special
appointment.
The
city
council
will
be
disregarding
the
will
of
the
people
and
the
right
to
have
a
say
and
who
represents
them.
R
I
understand
that
the
council
and
each
member
may
have
their
own
preferences
and
desires,
but
please
please
remember
that
the
role
of
an
elected
official
is
to
represent
the
wishes
of
the
voters,
and
in
this
case
it's
replacing
Sally
Lieber.
Please
remember
the
special
appointment
process
being
considered.
It's
not
what
you
want
as
a
council
member,
but
rather
what
the
voters
wanted
in
order
to
minimize
the
threat
to
democracy
posed
by
special
appointments.
It's
important
that
the
process
gets
closely
aligned
with
Democratic
principles
as
possible.
R
This
could
include
using
a
transparent
and
partial
selection
process,
ensuring
that
all
qualified
candidates
have
an
equal
to
be
to
considered
and
publicly
interviewed
and
allow
for
public
input
and
participation.
Further,
it's
crucial.
That's
everything
done
rigorously
and
seriously
keeping
in
mind
the
threat
to
democracy,
particularly
in
this
day
and
age
that
we
live
in
and
I
would
love
to
hear.
R
I
urge
the
council
to
carefully
weigh
these
considerations
and
to
prioritize
the
principles
of
democracy
and
any
decision
to
make
an
appointment.
In
that
vein,
really
just
two
things.
One
please
have
an
open,
transparent
process
for
public
input
is
allowed
and
please
keep
in
mind.
It
is
not
about
what
the
council
members
individually
want.
This
is
not
an
opportunity
to
change
the
makeup,
but
please
find
an
appointment
that
will
most
closely
represent
the
values
that
Sally
Lieber
has
so
represented
for
us
as
people
who
voted
for
her.
Thank
you.
S
D
S
And
at
this
point
it
looks
like
the
housing
element
is
going
to
be
delayed
again
and
that's
really
the
number
one
issue
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
for
Mountain
View.
We
really
need
to
have
an
applicant
or
an
appointment
of
someone
who
is
familiar
deeply
familiar
with
that
issue
and
I
hope.
You'll.
Keep
that
in
mind
when
you
make
your
decision.
A
L
Hello
Council,
so
Mountain
View
is
a
unique
City.
It's
voters
in
2016
passed
rent
stabilization,
so
if
you
are
choosing
as
I
expect,
you
will
to
add
content
questions
to
either
the
written
application
or
to
the
interview
process.
I.
Hope
that
exploring
having
some
way
to
allow
the
applicants
to
comment
on
Mountain,
View's,
csfra,
rent
stabilization
is
included.
L
One
reason
this
is
important
is
that
there
are
rental
housing
committee,
not
appointments
in
your
future,
and
in
this
this
person
appointed
will
be
weighing
in
on
the
rental
housing
committee
appointments
another
litmus
test
in
a
sense,
or
you
know
interesting.
Point
of
data
that
you
might
ask
about
is
the
applicant's
positions
on
measure
D,
which
would
have
amended
the
csfra
I
support.
L
Whatever
process
you
choose
and
I
just
you
know
also
asking
how
they
would
choose
rental,
housing
applicants
or
other
applicants
like
a
public
safety.
Advisory
Board,
which
are
coming
up
would
also
be
informative.
I
also
support
that
you
have
Chosen
and
I
hope
we'll
stay
with
that
choice
or
have
that
choice
ahead
of
you
to
ask
for
the
disclosure
form
as
part
of
the
process
for
application.
Thank
you
very
much.
T
T
The
facts
is
that,
as
a
member
of
the
council,
Lieber
felt
a
duty
to
lower
Google's
tax
burdens
on
a
piece
of
Telecom
equipment,
but
as
a
matter
of
the
SBE,
she
has
a
responsibility
to
ensure
that
imposed
taxes
are
fair,
for
everyone
didn't
do
both,
so
she
had
to
resign
under
a
functioning
democracy.
Voters
have
the
right
to
cast
a
vote
for
a
candidate
who
wants
to
do
what
is
best
for
residents,
not
what
is
best
for
Google
Lee
Zhang
finished.
T
T
At
this
point,
the
fact
is
that
Zhang
earned
more
votes
than
any
other
potential
candidate,
I'm,
not
alone,
in
my
belief
that
Zhang
would
be
the
front
runner
if
a
free
and
fair
election
was
held,
appointing
anyone
else,
instead
of
requiring
them
to
compete
in
a
free
and
fair
election.
What
can
I
say
that
is
not
democracy.
Please,
please.
Please
don't
do
this
I
strongly
recommend
that
a
special
election
be
held.
T
U
Yes,
hello
good
evening,
mayor
council,
members
and
Council
staff,
my
name
is
Hala
al-shawani
I'm
a
long
time
resident
of
Mountain
View
I
believe
that
misleads
in
won
over
six
thousand
of
Mountain
View
residents
votes
in
the
last
election,
which
was
only
about
two
months
ago.
Now
that
the
when
she
came,
you
know,
as
you
know,
fourth
right
after
the
three
elected
incumbents
now
that
the
incumbent
Sally
Lieber
is,
is
no
longer
there.
She
vacated
her
seat.
U
I
am
wondering
if,
if
there's
a
hybrid
solution,
where
the
city
council
would
consider
appointing
lead,
Zhang
who
was
democratically
elected
and
she
would
have
been
actually
on
the
council
if
Sally
Lieber
resigned
before
the
you
know
election
or
did
not
run.
However,
that
did
not
happen,
and
now
it's
I
think
it's
appropriate
for
the
council
to
consider
that,
if
they're
not
willing
to
appoint
lead
Zhang
to
this
position,
then
I
strongly
recommend
that
we
do
special
elections.
U
Even
though
the
process
is
lengthy
and
it
is
expensive,
I
think
a
democratic,
truly
Democratic
representation
of
the
public
and
council
is
essential.
City
manager
or
a
City
attorney
talked
about
equity
and
fairness
and
I.
Don't
see
how
you
know,
allowing
only
six
people
to
choose
a
person
instead
of
all
of
the
residents
of
Mountain
View
would
be
Equitable.
So
I
hope
you
consider
my
point.
Thank
you,
foreign.
V
So,
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
We
I
appreciate
this
conversation.
So,
first
of
all,
Sally
Lieber
was
an
exceptional
council
member
that
truly
understood
the
issues
in
our
community.
She
will
be
greatly
missed
in
this
role,
like
Megan
friendly
I
am
deeply
concerned
about
upholding
democracy
in
this
process.
Mountain
View
residents
voted
for
Sally
Lieber
because
of
her
positions
on
issues,
and
it
would
only
be
fair
to
put
this
decision
back
into
the
hands
of
the
people.
V
If
the
appointment
route
is
taken
by
Council,
then
there
should
be
extensive
actions
taken
to
make
sure
that
the
will
of
the
people
is
held
in
place
while
replacing
Sally
Lieber.
There
should
also
be
transparency
when
it
comes
to
vetting
any
applications
like
anything
that
people
the
council
decides
to
throw
out
or
not
move
forward
with
I'd
love
to
see
what
more
information
about
that.
V
Council
moves
forward
with
making
this
as
Democratic
as
possible
and
upholding
the
fact
that
people
residents
of
Mountain
View
overwhelmingly
voted
for
Sally
Lieber
because
of
who
she
is
what
she
stands
for
and
what
she
actually
does
and
the
fact
that
she's
not
afraid
to
stand
up
to
Google
or
pretty
much
anyone
so
I'm,
hoping
Council
does
the
will
of
the
people
and
move
forward
with
a
special
election.
Thank
you
so
much.
W
All
right,
all
right,
you
don't
have
to
twist
my
arm
I'll,
accept
the
appointment
tonight.
Save
everyone
all
the
time,
I'll
be
happy
to
join
you
guys
up
on
the
Deus.
Oh
wait.
I
would
actually
love
that
that
would
be
fun.
No
I'm
gonna
miss
Sally
up
there.
I
am
looking
forward
to
hanging
out
with
her
in
the
audience
at
Council
meetings
again,
just
like.
W
We
used
to
I
think
that
the
appointment
process
should
be
fair,
should
be
transparent
and,
as
part
of
that,
I
would
be
happy
to
help
organize
any
sort
of
forum
or
Community
organized
interview
with
the
appoint
the
appointment
potential
appointees
candidates,
candidates,
those
who
would
offer
their
services
as
possible.
Member
of
council
yeah,
we've
done
it
before
for
the
various
elections.
I'd
be
happy
to
do
it
again,
including
the
virtual
component,
try
to
include
as
many
people
as
possible.
W
A
Very
much
seeing
no
other
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
speak.
We
will
return
to
the
council
for
deliberation
and
action
before
deliberations.
Start
I
would
like
to
outline
the
process
we
will
follow
tonight.
Council
will
first
discuss
the
primary
question
of
whether
to
either
appoint
someone
to
fill
the
vacancy
or
hold
a
special
election.
I
will
now
open
the
floor
for
Council,
discussion
and
determination
on
this
first
matter.
A
B
I
So
I'm,
just
going
to
start
out
by
saying
I
am
I'm
actually
open
to
to
either
the
special
election
or
the
appointment
process.
I've
gotten
like
I'm
sure
all
of
you
have
many
comments
from
residents,
saying
that
we'd
be
crazy
to
do
a
special
election.
Another
saying
we'd
be
crazy
to
do
an
appointment,
so
I
guess
we're
crazy
either
way
the
money.
But
here
are
some
of
my
considerations.
I
I
I
The
and
and
I
just
want
to
say
I've
also
been
moved
by
the
many
thoughtful
comments
from
residents
on
how
to
make
any
appointment
process
a
more
robust
process
and,
after
other
people
weigh
in
you
know,
if
we
go
down
that
route,
I
will
I'll
be
adding
comments
about
how
to
make
the
appointment
process
more
robust.
Thank
you.
X
A
question
and
then
I
have
a
couple
of
comments,
but
my
question
is:
I:
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
our
City
attorney
for
a
while
today
and
I
asked
a
lot
of
questions,
some
of
which
you
also
asked
tonight,
and
it
was
a
really
good
discussion.
I
thought,
but
my
take
away
from
it
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
City
attorney
was
that
if
we
go
the
appointment
route,
we're
really
focusing
on
qualifications
for
to
serve
on
the
council-
and
you
know,
I
took
that
to
mean
things
like.
X
X
X
F
Foreign
I'm
happy
to
address
that
question
so
I
do
this
is
this
is
a
unique
situation
in
that
it
is
an
appointed
you.
You
would
be
making
an
appointment
to
a
typically
elected
seat
and,
like
I
said
in
elections,
they're
very
different.
You
know
the
issues,
your
positions
on
particular
issues.
They
all
matter.
F
The
voters
have
a
right
to
take
all
that
to
into
consideration
when
you
are
when
they
are
voting
for
a
particular
candidate
in
this
appointment
situation,
the
it
is,
it
is
akin
to
a
job
application,
and
so,
with
that
in
mind,
you
do
need
to
have
set
some
parameters
where
you
are
really
focusing
on
the
qualifications
of
the
candidate.
Can
this
or
the
applicant
I'm
sorry
can
this
person
come
in
and
do
the
job
if
there
are
particular
issues
that
you
know,
members
of
the
public
would
like
to
you
know
hear
about.
F
You
could
certainly
include
questions
that
that
address
some
of
the
issues
I
mean
it
is
it's
not
it's
public
knowledge,
what
you
know
some
of
the
issues
and
things
that
the
city
will
be
doing
moving
forward,
and
so
you
could
certainly
include
questions
that
are
that
are
issue
based,
but
again,
I
think
that
you
know
you
ask
that
question
of
all
the
candidates
so
that
you're
getting
that
answer
from
all
the
candidates.
And
it's
you
know
it's
not.
F
It
would
be
as
much
about
the
quality
of
the
response
and
their
preparedness
and
how
much
they
know
about
the
city
as
it
would
be
the
position
they
took
on
the
issue
that
I
think
you
would
be
considering.
So
there
is
definitely
a
way
to
balance
their
their
their
views
on
issues
with
their
their
thoroughness
and
their
ability
to
articulate
and
understand
the
job
of
a
council
member.
So
there
is
definitely
a
balance
there.
F
It's
I'm,
not
you
know,
I
didn't
intend
to
say
that
you
can't
address
the
issues,
but
you
know
the
question
should
be
across
the
board
to
all
the
candidates.
So
if
there
is
a
particular
issue
you
want
to
address
you
should
frame,
you
know
you
should
prepare
those
questions
in
advance,
so
that
everyone
is.
Is
that
helpful?
Thank.
X
You
I
appreciate
that
you
know,
and
so
moving
on
to
a
comment
or
two,
like
others
have
mentioned:
I'm
not
really
thrilled
that
we're
at
this
point
and
all
the
paths
that
we
have
to
fill
the
vacancy
have
pros
and
cons.
There
really
is
not
a
perfect
path
from
my
perspective,
and
so
this
is
really
challenging
and
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
most
critical
decisions
that
we're
going
to
be
making
in
a
in
a
long
time.
X
So
I
don't
want
to.
You
know:
have
that
be
the
primary
focus.
For
me,
the
primary
focus
is
letting
residents
choose
who
should
fill
the
vacancy
if
we
did
go
the
appointment
route,
because
I
heard
a
lot
of
people
ask
questions
about
that,
and
some
Express
preference
for
it
I
feel
very
strongly
that
we
should
appoint
somebody
who
is
not
going
to
run
for
Council
in
2024.
X
and
I'm,
saying
that,
because
an
incumbent
has
a
distinct
Advantage
in
an
election
and
that
person
would
then
be
an
incumbent
and
would
have
that
Advantage
I,
don't
think
it's
up
to
us
to
make
somebody
an
incumbent,
I
think
that's
up
to
the
residents
to
do
that
and
I.
Don't
really
feel
like
a
council
sheet
seat
should
be
handed
to
anybody
and
I
think
they
need
to
earn
it
so
to
be
fair
to
our
residents,
even
though
it
takes
a
little
bit
longer
time.
E
E
I,
you
know,
consider
the
job
the
job
of
a
council
member
extremely
important
and
is
a
high
honor,
and
what
makes
it
that
way
is
that
the
people
of
the
city
vote
Us
in
and
so
when
I
think
about
our
decision
today,
I've
been
trying
to
you
know,
try
to
decide
how
I
could
best
carry
out
the
will
of
the
voters
who
I
was
elected
to
represent
and
I.
Think
and
I've
learned
a
lot.
E
E
I
also
think
that
you
know
it
was
mentioned
that
we
should
focus
on
qualifications,
but
you
know,
frankly
we're
all
elected
or
a
council
member
is
elected
for
many
different
reasons.
Qualifications
might
be
one
of
them,
but
there
are
many
other
reasons
why
why
certain
members
are
elected
and
so
to
just
focus
on
that
I
think
would
be.
E
You
know
it
would
be
incomplete
and
so
and,
as
we
heard,
I
really
appreciate
the
many
different
questions
that
the
public
suggest
members
suggested.
I
agree.
I
think
we
should
be
asking
a
lot
of
those
questions,
but
again
I
think
about
just
the
reality
that
pragmatically.
How
could
we
do
that
in
this
very
short
time
frame
of
three
weeks,
or
you
know,
an
interview
process
where
you
have
maybe
an
hour
to
interview
one
person
I
think
you
know
that
would
be
frankly
generous
if
we
can
do
that.
E
So,
in
light
of
all
that
again,
I
think
that
the
The
Prudent
way
to
go
would
be
to
hold
a
special
election
now
I
appreciate
staff's
concerns
about
time
and
workload
and
being
mindful
of
our
you
know,
summer
vacation.
But
as
council
members
show
Walter
mentioned,
there
have
been
many
years
where
we've
called
special
meetings,
even
through
the
summer.
E
But
at
least
two,
if
there's
some,
you
know
sense
of
who
might
be
elected,
that
person
can
start
working
to
get
up
to
speed
like
just
like
we
do.
When
we're
elected
in
November.
We
have
a
couple
of
months
to
orient
ourselves
and
learn
about
the
you
know,
departments
and
whatnot,
so
I.
That
would
give
that
person
time
to
do
all
that,
rather
than
waiting
until
August
and
when
we
come
back
into
session
at
the
end
of
August,
so
my
I
would
suggest
we
move
it
up
to
June.
E
The
earliest
we
can
in
June
doesn't
have
to
be
the
first
week,
but
whatever
we
can
do
in
June,
I
know
that
that
leaves
the
vacancy
for
a
few
months.
Events
but
I
think
that
just
means
that
we,
as
the
six
of
us
will
work,
will
have
to
work
harder
to
build
consensus
and
maybe
compromise
and
I
kind
of
looked
at
looked
forward
to
that,
because
you
know
perhaps
that
will
actually
bring
us
closer
together.
E
I
So
I
said
when
I
I
first
spoke,
that
I
was
open
to
both
and
gave
things.
Why
wanted
to
hear
from
other
council
members,
having
heard
from
two
I
am
now
leaning
towards
a
special
election,
although
I
also
agreed
with
what
councilmember
matacek
said
that
if
we
appoint
someone,
I
would
like
them
to
to
promise
not
to
not
to
run.
G
One
of
the
things
that
concerns
me
about
a
special
election
besides
the
the
time
and
effort
that
it
takes
and-
and
the
money
of
course
is
the
low
turnout
that
is
typically
brought
about
by
special
elections.
Usually
they
have
about
half
my
understanding.
Is
they
have
about
a
half
to
a
quarter
as
many
people
as
vote
in
Regular
elections?
G
And
that's
that's
something
that
that
really
does
concern
me
so
I
I,
you
know
I
want
to
bring
that
up
as
an
issue
and
then
the
other
thing
is
I.
I
think
that
we
have
a
lot
on
our
work
plate.
We
we
hear
continuously
from
the
staff
about
how
how
they
there's
you
know,
there's
so
much
that
we
need
to
do
and
sometimes
I
I
think
we
hear
it
enough
that
we
feel
a
little
bit
like
it's
wolf,
wolf
but
I.
Don't
really
think
that's
the
case.
G
I
do
think
that
our
our
Council
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
important
policy
issues
to
weigh
in
on
and
concentrate
on.
So
having
that
hole
in
our
group
for
six
or
eight
months,
I
I
find
worrisome
and
I
I
know
I've
I've
observed
over
the
having
lived
in
Mountain
View
a
long
time.
I
have
observed
that
both
processes
have
worked
well.
You
know
the
appointment
process
has
worked
well,
we've
gotten
a
lot.
One
of
the
things
that
Mountain
View
is
blessed
with
is
I.
Think.
G
Is
that
a
lot
of
really
qualified
people
step
up
to
be
part
of
our
committees
to
be
part
of
council
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
either
way
we
will
get
really
good
candidates
and
but
I
wanted
to
bring
up
the
issue
of
a
very
low
turnout
for
a
special
election,
because
I
think
that
it
it's
one
of
the
you
know
it's
just
one
of
the
Practical
problems.
Thank
you.
H
Great,
thank
you
so
much
mayor
really
appreciate
the
the
comments
from
the
public
and
staff's
Analysis
on
this.
In
a
short
turnaround,
I
think,
as
was
expressed
by
some
of
my
colleagues,
this
is
a
very
challenging
position
that
that
Council
has
put
in
and
I
think
that
that
is
something
that
we
we
hadn't
necessarily
anticipated.
H
But
that's
something
that
that's
part
of
coming
along
with
council
is
we're
often
put
in
situations
where
we
need
to
to
make
the
best
decisions
we
can
for
residents,
and
you
know
I'd
like
to
take
a
step
back
and
say
you
know.
If
the
time
period
on
the
vacancy
was
different,
it
would
trigger
the
special
election.
But,
given
that
we're
at
about
two
years
left
on
council
member
libre's
term,
we
do
have
the
option
of
going
special
election
or
an
appointment
process.
H
You
know.
Another
part
is
that,
since
we
are
two
years
out
from
any
type
of
general
election,
we
don't
really
have
the
opportunity
for
consolidation
into
a
municipal,
General
municipal
election.
The
only
Opera
option
really
is:
is
this
special
election,
so
I
think
the
the
timing
also
is
something
that
affects
my
my
viewpoint.
Yeah.
H
Given
all
of
these
factors,
I
am
leaning
towards
the
appointment
process
and
I'd
like
to
outline.
Why
the
should
we
not
go
the
appointment
process,
this
seat
would
sit
vacant
for
about
nine
months.
To
me,
that
is
much
more
than
a
recusal
which
I
you
know.
I
don't
live
in
the
downtown,
so
that
doesn't
happen
very
often
for
me.
So
I
find
it.
H
Those
include
our
housing
policy,
housing
element,
our
upcoming
budget
process
or
displacement
response
strategy
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
the
last
four
years
or
historic
preservation.
Ordinance
is
finally
coming
back,
which
we've
also
been
talking
about
for
four
years.
We've
also
been
talking
about
expanding
our
safe
parking
program.
All
of
these
things,
I
think,
are
really
critical
policy
topics
that
we
need
a
full
Council
to
discuss.
H
H
We
also
know
that,
given
the
Registrar
of
voter
data,
which
I
did
reach
out
to
Shannon
Boucher
and
her
staff
to
ask
in
a
regular
general
election,
the
turnout
is
typically
60
to
70
percent
in
a
special
election.
The
low
voter
turnout
is
anywhere
to
25
to
35
percent
and
that's,
usually,
you
usually
see
a
low
voter
turnout
from
hard
to
reach
communities.
H
The
registrar
voters
isn't
able
to
share
disaggregated
data
because
it's
considered
unreliable,
but
given
that
we
have
the
most
recent
2020
data
will
know
that
people
could
be
not
being
able
to
participate
as
fully
as
they
like
so
for
those
Reasons
I'm,
leaning
towards
the
appointment
process
and
happy
to
discuss
further.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
agree
with
council
member
command
complement
control
very
strongly
and
I
feel
sort
of
peculiarity
of
having
thought
this
battle
in
my
day,
stuff
and
now
having
to
fight
it
again.
I.
There
are
many
good
reasons
why
an
appointment
process
is
appropriate,
as
articulated
by
my
colleagues,
but
the
biggest
one
in
my
mind
is.
A
You
fell
off.
Can
you
hear
me
I'm
so
sorry
about
that
I've
got
technical
challenges
Galore
going
on
if
I
cease
to
be
understandable,
please
let
me
know,
and
I
will
call
in
but
I
I'm,
so
I
agree
with
councilmember
command
councilmember
each,
given
several
strong
reasons
why
you
know
in
the
process
is
appropriate
in
my
mind
the
strongest.
The
most
compelling
reason
is
the
cost.
I
can't
justify
I
can't
defend
spending
2.1
million
dollars
on
a
special
election.
A
It's
an
extraordinary
expenditure
and
we'll
have
to
we'll
be
accountable
to
our
constituents.
Why
didn't
we
spend
that
money
on
Capital
Improvements?
Why
didn't
we
spend
that
money
on
filling
the
vacancies?
Among
our
staffing,
a
lot
of
our
one-time
funding,
which
was
so
critical
to
sustain
us
through
the
pandemic,
is
gone
now.
A
I
I
I
find
it
so
difficult
to
make
any
case
at
all
for
spending
that
much
money
on
a
special
election,
especially
in
a
special
election.
When
I
know,
we
will
have
many
qualified,
capable
and
compassionate
and
good
people
who
are
interested
in
this
world
who
will
apply.
I
have
absolute
confidence
in
this
Council
and
selecting
someone
and
do
a
good
job.
Who
can
work
with
us.
Make
good
decisions,
trust
the
voters
in
making
a
good
choice.
The
voters
picked
all
of
us,
you
know
so.
A
The
council
member,
who
will
represent
every
member
of
the
community
and
not
even
close
to
a
majority,
will
be
able
we'll
likely
weigh
in,
and
that's
a
big
problem
to
me
so
I
I
could
not
under
any
circumstances,
support
special
emotion,
I.
Just
don't
think,
there's
there's
a
compelling
argument
for
for
that
amount
of
money
to
be
spent,
especially
when
we
have
many
good
people
in
our
community
who
actually
are
ready
to
step
up
and
feel
the
vacancy
and
serve
from
day
one
and
not
have
a
risk.
A
G
Be
quick,
another
thing
I
would
just
like
to
bring
up
is
I
think
that
one
of
the
most
important
meetings
that
we'll
have
in
in
in
this
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
will
happen
this
year
is
our
goal.
Setting
meeting
we
do
that
every
two
years
and
I
think
the
longer
I'm
on
Council.
The
more
important
I
understand
this
process
to
be
so
having
a
full
Council
to
take
part
in
that
and
to
weigh
what
our
priorities
should
be.
E
E
You
know
I've
I
watch
each
election
and
even
during
our
general
elections
we've
had
years
when
we
have
93
turnout
and
then
back
in
2014,
we
had
I
think
the
lowest,
at
least
in
the
modern
times
above
57
turnout
in
a
general
election
year.
So
you
know
as
much
as
I
appreciate
the
the
concern
about
a
special
election
having
even
lower,
which
is
possible.
E
You
know
whether
it's
20
30
40
50
of
the
voting
population,
that's
frankly
more
than
six
of
us
and
I
think
that's
what
the
voter,
the
the
residents.
At
least
you
know
the
ones
who've
spoken,
I
I
haven't
heard
too
many
folks,
I.
Think
there's
one
today,
who
said
you
know
they're
they've.
They
they're
concerned
about
the
money
and
should
do
appointment,
but
I
appreciate
those
who
have
give
interested
in
us.
E
The
decision
making
but
I
sit
here
have
heard
I
think
from
more
folks
who
want
the
opportunity
to
vote
and
to
choose
and
and
that's
what
I
think
is
worth
two
point
whatever
it
is,
and
2.1
million
you
know,
I
know
is
what
would
have
been
told,
I
think
in
past
election,
since
usually
that
price
comes
down
so
we're
not
really
sure
and
in
terms
of
where
that
funding
would
come
from.
You
know
we
have
been
fortunate.
You
know,
I
am
very
mindful,
as
you
all
know,
about
fiscal
responsibility.
E
I
think
I
am
probably
the
most
you
know
and
I've
been
ridiculed
at
times
for
being
too
cautious,
but
I
also
know
that
because
of
that
we
have
saved
up
money
and
we
had
a
lot
of
Reserve
funds
and
and
funds
that
we
have.
You
know
just
yeah
in
case.
We
want
to
do
something,
and
so
I
think
this
is
something
worth
doing
and
important,
for
you
know
the
voters
to
just
have
that
choice.
So
that's
you
know.
E
I
I
make
a
strong
argument
that
it
is
worth
the
money
to
have
this
special
election,
and
you
know
I
keep
hearing
the
nine
months
and
whatnots,
but
I
would
hope
that
folks
would
agree
and
would
be
willing
to
put
in
the
extra
meetings
that
we
might
need
to
do
to
make
this
election
happen
sooner.
If
we
can
I'm,
certainly
willing
to
you,
know,
I've
done
it
in
the
past
for
General
the
general
plan
updates
and
everything
else
you've
done.
So.
E
Yes,
it's
going
to
take
us
a
little
more
effort
more
time
and
we'll
take
some
money,
but
I
just
really
believe
very
strongly,
especially
in
this
time
day
and
time.
You
know
when
we
talked
about
democracy
being
threatened.
I
think
this
is
really
important
for
us
to
give
the
voters
the
opportunity
to
vote.
So
you
know
I
I
still
stand
by
that
option.
I
will
say
if
we
do
go
to
an
appointment
process.
I
do
agree
with
council
member
matacek
and
vice
mayor.
E
That
I
would
like
to
appoint
someone
who
will
commit
to
only
doing
the
remainder
of
Sally's
term,
and
you
know,
as
I
think
councilmember
medic
mentioned.
We
had
to
run
and
we
had
to
earn
this
and
I
take
that
very,
very
seriously
so
I
want
you
know
as
Fair
of
playing
field
as
possible
and
folks
who
are
willing
to
put
in
that
commitment
to
to
run
for
or
office
without,
you
know
a
leg
up
in
any
way
to
try
to
give
everyone
a
fair
shot.
E
X
Well,
council,
member
ABI
Koga
just
pretty
much
said
everything
I
was
thinking
and
I
think
you
know
the
key
points
for
me.
Are
you
know,
even
if
there
is
low
voter
turnout,
as
she
said,
it's
more
than
the
six
of
us,
I'm
sure,
there's
going
to
be
more
than
six
people
voting
and
I.
Think
that's
really
important.
This
is
such
an
important
role.
X
That
residents
should
have
the
opportunity
to
decide
who
the
person
is
and
I'm
not
too
concerned
about
having
a
vacancy
for
a
while
I
think
the
six
of
us
can
work
through
issues
and
as
I
think
it
was
the
vice
mayor
who
said
you
know
with
the
number
of
recusals
we
have.
You
know
we
often
have
less
than
a
full
Council,
so
I
think
we
can
still
function
very
well
with
fewer
people.
X
I
So
I'll
keep
it
short
I.
You
know,
I
I,
do
I,
think
the
point
that
about
the
vote
or
turnout
and
that
you
know
low-income
people
and
people
of
color,
less
likely
to
vote
and
I
would
add
kind
of
maybe
campaign
exhaustion
of
people
who
volunteer
frequently
for
campaigns.
You
know
those
to
me
are
the
most
Salient
points
that
have
been
brought
up.
I
I,
really,
don't
think
that
the
difference
between
you
know
many
councils
have
have
five
people
on
them.
I.
I
Don't
think
that
the
issues
that
we
grapple
with
need
a
full
seven
people
it's
nice
to
have.
You
know
like
it
would
be
nice
right
now
to
have
a
a
seventh
person
to
be
a
tiebreaker
here,
so
so
that
that
can
be
useful
but
other
than
that.
I.
Don't
really
think
that
you
know
we
need
to
pick
someone
because
we
can't
grapple
with
issues
as
only
three
it's
only
six
of
us
and
the
thing
I
have
to
say.
I
I
A
J
B
Well,
you
know
every
general
election
we
dedicate
all
of
those
months
to
shepherding
the
process
and
helping
candidates
and
running
a
nomination
period,
and
and
doing
all
of
that,
so
there
will
definitely
be
a
strain
on
on
our.
You
know
the
city
clerk's
office
resources,
because
when
we
would
normally
be
catching
up
on
things
that
we
set
aside
for
the
general
municipal
election,
we're
going
to
be
running
it.
You
know
we're
turning
right
back
around
and
running
another
election.
So
there's
that
and
to
the
question
of
June
versus
August.
J
A
B
B
A
F
I
did
some
quick
research
on
that
today
and
I
do
not
think
you
can
legally
prevent
them
from
running
in
2024
they
can
make
a
promise
and
still
run
I.
Also
think
you
know,
I'm,
not
I,
don't
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
ask
that
as
a
as
an
interview
question,
do
you
plan
to
run
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
an
applicant's
qualifications
to
do
the
job
or
even
their
positions
on
a
particular
issue.
E
So,
just
going
further
into
the
issue
of
commitments
to
run
again
or
not,
if
they're
appointed
I
believe
in
Sunnyvale,
they
were
able
to
get
someone
who
committed
not
to
run
to
and
to
say
that
and
I
understand.
We
can't
legally
require
it,
but
there
must
be
some
way
that
we
can
ask
that
of
the
applicants
yeah,
because
Sunnyvale
seem
to
have
been
able
to
do
something
there.
E
F
F
Asking
that
question
and
and
then
making
a
decision
where
you
have
two
perfectly
qualified
candidates
for
a
position
and
one
says
they're
not
going
to
run
and
one
says
they
are
going
to
run,
and
that
is
the
sole
basis
for
excluding
someone
from
this
Council
I
think
creates
potential
problems
for
this
Council,
so
I
mean
you
I.
Think
it's
risky
I
think
it
is.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
applicant's
qualifications
to
serve
as
a
council,
member
and
so
I
I.
A
Sunnyvale
also
has
the
the
again
the
peculiarity
of
having
gone
from
at
large
elections
to
District
elections
in
the
future.
In
case
the
they
were
feeling
the
balancing
the
balance
of
an
unexpended
at
large
term
because
of
this
issue
shows
somebody
who
would
be
eligible
for
for
the
districts.
They
were
a
member
of
the
council
who
was
outside
the
district.
I
Yeah
I'm,
so
I'm
getting
I
have
to
say
a
little
bit
troubled
by
the
when
we
talk
about
the
application
process.
The
lack
of
questions
we're
allowed
to
ask
because
I
would
hope
that
we
would
be
able
to
ask
that
question
about
the
the
person's
thoughts
on
running
without
making
it
the
the
sole
criteria,
or
you
know
one
of
the
criteria.
So
that's
one
statement
and
then
there's
also
been
because
I
should
say
one
of
the
reasons
I'm
concerned
is
that
I
think
that.
I
I
mean
they.
The
decision
about
who
sits
on
Council
is
essentially
a
political
decision.
I
mean
I,
guess
that's
perfectly
obvious,
and
the
idea
that
we're
picking
someone
just
because
they're
qualified
kind
of
boggles
my
mind
I,
don't
even
really
know
what
that
means.
I
would
think
you
know
a
good
I,
don't
know.
That's
the
adults
in
Mountain.
I
Some
of
the
upcoming
issues
on
our
work
plan
and
the
reason
that
I'm,
hoping
those
are
okay
to
ask,
is
that
I've
been
you
know:
I've
been
living
in
this
city
for
over
20
years,
I've
seen
a
lot
of
candidate
forums,
and
sometimes
when
people
address
issues,
questions
it's
quite
clear.
They
have
no
idea
what
they're
talking
about
and
they
just
would
not
hit
the
ground
running
and
it
doesn't
really
matter
what
my
opinion
is
on
that
particular
issue.
I
If
we
end
up
going
with
the
application
process,
I
would
like
to
hear
people
grapple
with
some
of
the
things
that
are
upcoming
on
our
you
know
on
our
work
plans
so
that
I
I'm,
okay,
I'm
going
to
repeat
myself
now,
but
so
that
I
know
that
they
can
hit
and
run
and
then
I
do
you
know
I
continue
to
have
the
question
of
whether
we
can
at
least
raise
what
the
person
thinks
about
whether
they
would
be
running
a
gift.
Thank
you.
A
Yes,
in
a
direct
response
to
your
last
Point
vice
mayor,
Hicks,
I'm
I
agree
that
I
think
we
have
to
be
very
thoughtful.
Should
there
be
four
vote
for
books
for
an
appointment
process,
we
would
like
to
be
very
thoughtful
about
the
questions
that
we
asked.
You
know
and
there
are
some
pretty
clear
legal
guard
rails,
that
I
think
the
City
attorney
has
outlined
and
so
being
mindful
of
those
should
we
decide
to
pursue
an
appointment
process?
F
F
You
know,
and
and
as
I
noted
earlier
I
think
that
you
should
just
make
sure
that
the
questions
are
the
same
for
all
candidates,
so
that
the
process
itself
is
fair
and
equitable.
You
know,
but
I
think
you
can
get
at
the
issues.
If
you
want
to
ask
the
question
about
whether
or
not
they
are
going
to
run
again,
I
think
that
you
can
ask
the
question:
I
was
just
presenting
a
potential
legal
risk.
F
F
You
know
how
best
to
handle
the
situation
fairly
and
whether
or
not
someone
is
going
to
run
again
doesn't
really
go
towards
their
ability
to
serve
the
city,
and
maybe
they
come
in
and
and
do
a
fantastic
job,
and
you
know
if
they
run
as
an
incumbent,
then
that's
great.
They
come
in
and
do
a
terrible
job
and
run
as
an
incumbent.
Maybe
they
don't
get
elected
I
think
it
can
play
out
many
ways.
So
I
think
you
can
ask
the
question.
F
G
You
know,
I
just
think
that
there
is
quite
a
bit
of
variation
in
the
number
of
people
that
run
in
an
election
and
in
the
2024
election
for
city
council.
There
will
be
four
openings,
so
there
will
be
at
least
at
least
two
new
openings,
and
at
least
based
on
my
observation.
Every
time
we
have
an
election
where
there
are
a
number
of
openings,
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
come
forward.
G
So
I
I
think
the
idea
that
having
an
additional
person,
who
who
is
an
incumbent
would
mean
we
have
a
sleepy
election,
is
I
I
that
doesn't
ring
true
to
me
at
all
I
I.
It
seems
like
when
we
have
a
few
slots
open
on
this
Council.
We
normally
have
you
know
a
really
healthy
group
like
five
to
ten
people
who
come
forward
to
to
I
would
think
with
four.
We
would.
We
would
easily
have
ten
candidates
so
so
that
that
worry
about.
G
G
G
E
E
E
Qualifications
is
one
of
them,
maybe,
but
not
the
only
thing
and
so
I
think
the
more
questions
we
can
ask
and,
and
then
I
do
think
we
could
go
ahead
and
ask
the
question
of
what
you
know
whether
they're
willing
to
serve
just
the
remainder
of
the
term
and
knowing
that,
with
more
more
robust
questions
that
wouldn't
be
the
only
factor
in
our
decision
making.
I
think
if
we
had
five
questions,
and
that
was
one
of
them,
it
would
be
more
of
a
case
to
say.
Oh,
you
know.
E
That
was
the
reason
why
if
this
a
person
was
selected,
but
if
we
have
more
questions
to
to
help
us
with
our
decision
making,
then
I
think
that
you
know
Waters
down
the
importance
of
that
question.
So
that's
another.
You
know
reason
I
could
say
to
one
include
that
the
question
and
then
just
make
sure
we
have
more
questions
to
try
to
really.
Frankly,
the
key
here
is
to
try
to
get.
Is
you
know
as
well-rounded
a
picture
of
the
individual
as
we
can,
despite
our
limited
time,
payment?
Other
restraints
thanks.
J
A
I
was
gonna,
make
an
attempt
at
a
compromise,
because
I
I
think
I
think
there
could
be
a
path
to
a
majority
for
an
appointment
process.
If
we
make
some
commitments
about
having
a
very
thoughtful
and
robust
opportunity
to
ask
questions
in
the
application,
and
also
in
the
interview
and
I
I
was
hoping
that
maybe
we
can
find
a
majority
if,
if
we
provide,
you
know
two
commitments
right
and
that
would
be
first.
A
You
know
we'll
have
a
link
to
discussion
about
which
questions
to
include
in
the
application
and
then
because
we'll
have
more
time
to
decide
which
questions
to
ask
in
the
interview.
Maybe
we
can
ask
the
City
attorney
to
do
a
little
bit
more
research
and
provide
some
information
to
the
council
about
the
legal
risk
or
or
our
ability
to
ask
a
question.
Like
you
know,
would
you
run
for
election.
J
A
2024,
if
you
are
right,
maybe
that
can
give
us
some
comfort
without
conducting
the
abandonment
process
and
making
sure
that
we
have
the
information
that
we
need
understanding
that
we
couldn't
only
make
a
decision
about
that
one
point,
but
that
you
know
it
does
contribute
to
a
more
holistic
understanding
of
of
the
gay
buildings.
So
just
an
idea,
but
I'll
go
to
things.
Remember.
H
Great
thanks
so
much
mayor,
I,
appreciate
your
your
efforts
for
a
compromise.
I
think
I
was
gonna.
Try
to
go
down
that
route
too.
You
know,
as
I
was
saying
in
my
opening
comments.
I
think
we're
in
a
really
challenging
situation
and
if
circumstances
were
different,
we
may
all
have
you
know,
switched
opinions
or
different
opinions.
That
kind
of
given
the
the
timeline
and
the
you
know.
H
I
really
appreciate
similar
to
elections.
The
the
public
can
hold
forums
at
any
time
and
can
invite
the
potential
applicants
to
them,
and
so
those
can
happen
independently
of
the
city
and
of
council
and
I
really
appreciate
the
offers
and
the
public
comment
that
those
opportunities
would
exist.
So
I
do
feel
like
there
are
paths
for
democracy
to
work
out
to
to
be
in
in
action
in
a
timeline
that
doesn't
leave
a
vacancy
for
for
nine
months.
H
To
me,
that
is
a
long
time
when
we're
talking
about
really
critical
policy
issues
and
in
a
Way,
Mount
View's
been
been
a
leader
and
I
want
us
to
continue
to
do
that,
and
we
so
so
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
augment
the
both
the
application
and
the
questions
along
the
process
and
have
people
be
able
to
weigh
in
despite
the
quick
turnaround.
So
thank
you.
E
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
guess
I
I
wanted
to
ask.
If
we
can
just
take
a
you
know,
hand,
vote
and
I
wanted
to
pose
the
other,
the
other
option
of
doing
a
special
election,
but
in
June
not
in
August
and
move
up
the
timeline.
So
if
we
can
just
do
a
vote
and
see
where
we
are
and
then
we
can
go
to
the
next
com
discussion,
I
would
appreciate
that.
X
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
I
actually
think
with
an
election,
there's
greater
opportunity
for
public
participation
and
there
are
more
forums.
There
is
a
longer
period
of
time
here
you
can
have
conversations
with
the
candidates
and,
in
the
end,
it's
up
to
the
voters
to
decide,
as
opposed
to
us,
so
I
can't
think
of
any
other
opportunity
that
is
greater
than
allowing
residents
to
vote
for
public
input
on
this
process
and
who
is
then
representing
them
thanks.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
see
no
other
hands
up.
I'll
start
with,
as
councilman
Bobby
Koga
proposed
a
straw
poll
on
conducting
a
special
election
released
in
June
right
and
then,
if
there
was
a
majority
support
for
that,
then
I'll
ask
if
there
is
support
for
holding
an
employment
process
and
then
we'll
have
another
separate
discussion
about
questions
and
the
selection
process
there.
So
first
release
your
hand
if
you
support
conducting
a
special
election
in
June
to
fill
vacancy.
J
A
A
A
I
So
one
of
the
things
I
would
really
like
to
add
to
the
application
is
whether
the
person
has
we
do
this
with
the
Committees
and
commissions,
whether
they've
ever
been
to
a
council
meeting
or
perhaps
a
certain
yeah
I.
Don't
have
the
details
on
how
I
would
maybe
there's
additional
input.
People
can
have
on
how
to
phrase
this
the
Committees
and
commissions
asks
have.
I
You
ever
been
and
then
asks
the
number
that
you've
been
to
my
the
reason
I
want
to
ask
this
I
actually
think
we
could
make
a
requirement
for
committees
and
commissions,
but
is
something
that
people
spoke
about
earlier.
Is
that
that
we
could
there's
the
potential
to
get,
because
this
sounds
like
an
easy
route
to
get
on
Council
there's
the
potential
to
get
who
knows
how
many
applications,
10
20
30
applications
and
then
have
to
interview
everyone
and
I
frankly,
don't
want
to
interview
somebody
who's,
never
been
to
a
council
meeting.
I
I
A
So
I
think
what
I'm
going
to
try
and
do
and
I
will
need
some
help.
Is
writing
down,
suggested
questions
as
I
hear
them,
because
a
majority
of
the
council
will
have
to
provide
Direction
on
which
questions
to
include
in
the
application
process
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
majority
support
for
each
question
so
physically.
The
question
we
would
ask
on
the
application
is:
how
many
Council
meetings
have
you
attended
or
observed.
I
I
X
Thanks
you
know
initially,
I
was
kind
of
surprised
that
we
might
just
ask
for
a
letter,
but
then
the
more
I
thought
about
it.
The
more
I
thought.
Well,
you
know
maybe
that's
not
too
bad,
because
then
we'll
see
what
they
want
us
to
know
about
them
without
forcing
them
to
answers.
Other
specific
questions,
but
there
are
a
couple
of
fundamental
questions
for
me.
That
I
was
thinking.
I
would
want
to
ask
during
the
interviews
but
I'm.
X
But
I
don't
want
a
ton
of
details
on
that.
I
just
want
to
more
than
anything
else.
I
want
to
know.
Are
they
going
to
try
to
change?
Something?
I
guess
is
the
upshot
of
that?
A
decision
that
we've
already
made
I
also
would
like
to
know
what
their
top
priorities
are,
and
how
do
you
propose
they
get
tackled,
which
I
think
is
different
than
the
challenges
that
the
city
might
be
facing,
because
your
priorities
might
be
different
than
some
of
the
challenges
that
we're
working
on
and.
X
A
Thank
you
and
if,
if
one
question
isn't
included
in
the
application,
we
could
always
include
it
in
the
interviews.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
capture
the
questions
that
you
are
recommending
and
they
would
include
something
along
the
lines
of.
Why
do
you
want
to
be
appointed
to
the
council?
Why
do
you
believe
you
are
the
most
qualified
to
serve?
What
are
your
top
priorities
and
how
would
they
get
tackled
and
then
share
any
significant
disagreements
you
may
have
with
previous
Council
Direction.
X
Yeah
I
guess
I
characterize
that
more
of
like
future
like
the
direction
this
Council
has
set
for
the
future
those
decisions,
as
opposed
to
looking
back
to
something
that's
already
been
completed,
so
to
speak.
So
the
current
issues
we're
facing
and
the
decisions
we've
made
that
are,
you
know,
starting
to
get
implemented.
J
G
G
If
we
want
to
limit
that,
but
or
maybe
that's
too
many,
maybe
500
I'm
not
sure
what
the
number
of
words
should
be,
but
if
there
needs
to
be
a
limit,
so
we
don't
get
20
pages
from
anyone,
but
I
would
I
would
like
to
know
how
many
Council
meetings
people
have
attended
and
also
what
was
their
involvement
generally
in
the
council
meeting
I
mean:
did
they
just
sit
there?
Did
they
talk?
You
know
what
what
what
did
they
do?
That
I
think
that
would
be
interesting.
G
Another
thing
that
I
would
really
like
to
understand
kind
of
getting
to
that
idea
of
of
that
council
member
matacek
mentioned
of.
Is
it?
Do
you
think
the
council
is
on
the
right
track?
Is
there
something
that
we've
done,
that
you
disagree
with
I,
I
I?
Think
that
that's
you
know,
that's
a
very
interesting
question
and
I
I
would
like
to
see
something
along
those
lines
included
in
addition
to
that,
I
am
interested
in
having
them
discuss
what
the
concept
of
a
community
for
all
means
to
them.
G
That
has
been
that's
a
very
important
Council
goal,
I
think
to
most
of
us,
and
it
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
can
have
a
lot
of
meanings
and
what
someone
says
about
that
is
I,
think
very
telling
about
how
what
what
have
they
thought
about
how
they
want
what's
their
vision
for
the
city
and
how
what
kind
of
community
we
want.
Have
that
sort
of
thing
so
I
think
it's
a
very
thought-provoking
question
and
I
would
like
I
would
like
that
to
be
in
the
letter.
G
G
General
discuss
one
of
the
council
goals
and
what
it
means
to
you,
and
what
do
you
think
should
be
done
to
regress
it
that
isn't
already
being
done
and
and
then
also
what
do
you
think
we
should
continue
doing,
because
I
I
would
really
like
to
elicit
some
information
about
the
depth
of
knowledge
and
Mountain
View
process
and
programs
that
people
come
to
come
to
this
application
with
I.
Think
it's.
It's
really
important
that
they've.
G
You
know
that
they
really
know
what
we're
working
on
and
they
have
ideas
about
it.
One
way
or
the
other,
and
then
the
other
one
I
I
think
would
be.
A
good
thing
to
include
in
the
letter
is
what
is
the
most
serious
social
issue:
I'm
Mountain
View,
and
how
should
we
deal
with
it?
So
those
are
just
some
thoughts.
I'd
be
interested
in
hearing
other
people's.
A
A
Problem
and
I
suppose
several
Bitcoins
have
been
made
about
asking
these
questions
as
suggestions
for
topics
to
include
in
a
letter
rather
than
having
essays
and
response
to
each
one
of
them.
So
we
can
decide
whether
to
to
have
a
couple
of
application
questions
that
everyone
must
respond
to
and
then
a
more
General
letter
that
could
include
responses
to
these
questions.
If
the
applicant
wants
serious
consideration,
councilmember.
J
H
Great,
thank
you
that
so
that
was
going
to
be
my
question.
A
mayor
was
kind
of
what
the
package
of
the
application
would
look
like.
So
it
sounds
like
there
would
be
the
personal
information,
the
letter
of
interest,
and
it
would
be
like
free-flowing
topics
that
people
can
just
expand
upon
as
they
wish.
Is
that
and
we're
giving
bullet
points
on
what
they
can
talk
about?
H
H
H
Those
can
be,
you
know,
even
ones
that
the
the
public
suggested
via
email
or
tonight
and
then
I
I
like
the
idea
of
a
letter
of
interest,
it
would
be
for
me,
I
I
would
love
to
understand
a
little
bit
more
about
the
potential
person
that
we're
working
with
we've
often
talked
about
how
a
lot
of
the
things
we
do
is
is
together
it's
a
group
and
so
in
an
interview
process
you
don't
always
have
the
opportunity
to
understand
someone's
work
style
or
their
background.
I
I
do
find
background.
H
Important
I
do
find
experience
important.
Those
are
the
things
that
we
talk
about
when
we
get
elected
so
I'd
love
to
hear
those
things
when
someone
gets
appointed,
and
so
perhaps
the
letter
of
interest
can
include
that.
So
if,
if
council
members
are
open
to
that,
perhaps
we
can
differentiate,
which
would
be
the
supplemental
questions
that
would
be
standardized
and
then
which
would
be
the
topics
for
the
letter
of
interest.
That
would
be
helpful
for
me.
Thank
you.
A
The
the
only
thing
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
include
is
because
I
don't
think
we
do
this
right
now
with
the
applications
for
the
advisory
bodies,
but
some
contact
information
that
the
applicant
would
understand
is
available
to
the
public
so
not
to
keep
comparing
us
to
the
city
of
San
Jose.
But
the
list
of
applicants
is
now
publicly
available
and
most
have
elected
to
provide
either
a
phone
number
or
an
email
address
and
I
really
like
that,
because
that
means
members
of
the
public
to
reach
out
and
say
Hey.
A
You
know
I'm
interested
in
learning
more
about
you.
What
are
your
thoughts
on
the
items
of
interest
and
I?
Think
right?
I
could
be
wrong,
but
I
think
right
now
the
council
gets
to
see
the
contact
information,
but
I
don't
believe
that
the
contact
information
is
made
available
in
the
public
documents
if
I'm
wrong
about
that,
my
apologies,
if
I
had
to
think
of
something
that
we
ought
to
consider
making
explicit
funding
application
experience.
I
So
I
agree
with
the
direction
this
is
going
in
I.
Yes,
I
really
would
like
some
way.
The
members
of
the
public
can
contact
the
person,
of
course,
when
we're
candidates
and
when
we're
on
Council,
we
we
have
to
change
that
so
the
person
the
applicants
should
be
open
to
that
as
early
as
possible.
I,
also
like
the
idea
of
what
council
member
camay
said
of
making
the
application
in
some
ways
more
similar
to
you
know
a
committee
or
commission
application
with
some
specific
questions.
I
But
what
some
members
of
the
public
have
brought
up
actually
I
think
it's
people
from
a
livable
Mountain
View
and
from
Green
spaces
and
from
nbcsp
brought
up
items
that
are
on
our
work
plan
and
what
so
they
listed
the
two
of
them
together.
Housing
element,
displacement,
downtown
precise
plan,
Castro
Mall
grade
separation,
the
park
strategic
plan,
biodiversity
plan,
active
Transportation
plan.
I
want
some
point:
where
people
can
it's
less
hearing,
maybe
their
position
on
on
each
of
those
I'm.
I
Thinking,
probably
most
application
applicants
are
not
anti-park,
for
example,
but
maybe
I'm
wrong,
but
just
that
they
can
engage
with
those
issues
and
that's
again
what
I
said
earlier
that
I've
seen
over
the
years
when
people
are
in
forums.
Some
people
can't
engage
very
deeply
on
these
things,
and
this
is
somebody
who's
going
to
be
on
for
two
years
dealing
with
the
these
I
think
specific
items,
so
I
would
like
to
know
that
they
can
engage
I.
I
Think
for
me,
that's
sort
of
the
basics,
for
qualifications
is
how
they
engage
on
the
on
the
issues
that
we
have
coming
up
so
some
way
of
of
including
that
and
then
I
also
want
us
to
address
at
some
point
what
I
think
council
member
abek
Koga
addressed,
as
is
there
a
way
in
the
process
of
eliminating
people
that
we
think
are
just
not
worth
interviewing.
So
we
don't
end
up
so.
J
I
We
can
have
a
more
thoughtful
process
with
the
number
of
people
we
do
interview
and
not
be
obligated
obligated
to
interview
whatever
35
people
or
whatever
thank
you,
which
might
be
the
number
of
times
one
step
towards
that
might
be
the
number
of
times
they've
attended,
Council
meetings.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I
think
that's
one
where
we
will
probably
need
a
lot
of
guidance
from
the
city
attorney
for
whatever
it's
worth
in
San,
Jose
I.
Believe
four
members
of
the
council
have
to
express
interest
in
interviewing
an
applicant
in
order
for
that
action
to
be
interviewed
by
the
full
Council
and
that's
four
out
of
a
body
of
nine
right
now
again
now,
that's
that's
a
very
superficial
analysis
and
I
think
you
know
the
City
attorney
hopefully
can
can
provide
some
some
other
that's
risky
or
something
that's
perfectly
acceptable.
X
Yes,
I
think
we
need
to
Define
what
it
means
to
attend
a
council
meeting.
Also,
since
you
know
you
can
watch
them
after
the
fact
you
can
watch
them
live
in
the
past.
You
used
to
be
able
to
come
and
sit
in
the
council
chambers,
so
I
think
we
just
need
to
be
clear
on
what
we're
asking
with
that
question
and
I
think
the
vice
mayor's
comment
about
wanting
to
see
whether
or
not
they
are
up
on
an
issue
and
how
they
engage
with
it
is
important
and
I.
X
A
D
B
I
was
just
gonna
interject
that
it
would
also
be
helpful
if,
when
you're
determining,
if
something's
going
to
be
on
the
application,
if
it's
going
to
be
one
of
the
suggested
topics
for
a
letter
of
interest
or
if
it's
an
actual
question
that
you
want
them
to
write
an
answer
similar
to
to
the
applications
we
have
for
advisory
bodies.
Now.
A
F
I
K
A
B
Is
that
right,
yeah
we're
gonna,
we'll
we
can
bring
something
back
to
you
on
the
24th,
so
you
can
solidify
interview
questions,
but
if
you
think
there
might
be
some
crossover
just
know
that
you
know
nothing
would
be
able
to
change
about
the
application.
So
if
you
want
to
interject
them
now,
that's
up
to
you
but
yeah.
X
E
Maybe
we
go
through
all
the
questions,
because
I
guess
I'm,
mostly
I'm,
concerned
about
the
top
issue
of
time
with
the
interviews.
So,
depending
on
how
many
questions
we
want
to
ask
at
the
interview
we'll
determine
the
length
of
the
interviews
or
vice
versa,
and
then
so
then
you
know
there
are
other
questions
remaining
we
could
potentially
put
them
in.
The
application
was
how
I
was
looking
at
it.
E
So
I
mean
I,
don't
know
what
the
best
process
is.
If
we
just
lay
out
all
the
questions
tonight
and
then
figure
out
where
we
want
to
put
which
question
you
know,
there
may
be
questions
we
just
have
to
eliminate,
but
I
think
we
need
to
kind
of
start
to
write
pair
down
and
figure
out
what
the
framework
is
in
terms
of
like
the
number
of
questions
and
where
they're
going
to
go.
A
It
makes
sense
and
I
think
right
now.
The
plan
is
to
have
an
item
on
the
January
24th
agenda
in
case
we
need
it
and
we
can
decide
if
we
want
to,
for
instance,
if
we
want
to
decide
the
interview
questions
tonight
and
then
on
the
24th
aside.
Those
questions
are
fine.
Then
we
don't
need
to
spend
any
more
time
on
the
24th
discussing
it.
K
Thank
you
mayor
for
context,
I'll,
just
let
Council
know
that
when
we
interview
applicants
for
jobs
with
the
city.
Typically,
if
you
have
around
10
to
12
questions
that
is
typically
a
30
to
45
minute
interview,
sometimes
the
questions
might
be
compound
questions,
meaning
that
it's
one.
It's
like
your
first
or
second
question,
but
it's
really
kind
of
a
couple
parts
to
that
question
and
that
might
take
a
little
longer.
So
if
that
gives
you
context
for
how
many
questions
you
want
to
ask
and
how
long
your
interviews
are.
K
So
if
you
are
looking
for,
let's
say
10
to
15
minute
interviews,
then
I
would
suggest
probably
no
more
than
five
questions
and
even
that's
going
to
push
it
depending
on
how
wordy
people
are,
because
everyone
interviews
differently.
Some
people
can
get
quickly
to
the
answer
and
others
take
a
little
bit
longer,
but
I
would
suggest
if
that's
what
you're
kind
of
shooting
for
10
to
15
minutes
about
five
questions
and
then
determining
how
many
you
want
to
put
in
the
application.
A
A
A
A
What
are
some
examples
of
current
or
future
issues
we
are
facing,
where
you
disagree
with
Council
Direction?
What
was
your
involvement
in
the
council
meetings?
You've
attended?
What
does
a
community
for
all
mean
for
you
or
discuss
one
Council
goal
and
what
it
means
to
you.
What
is
the
most
serious
social
issue
in
Mountain
View
and
then
there's
the
question
of
whether
an
applicant
is
interested
in
running
the
2024
election
pending
additional
guidance
from
the
city
attorney?
H
H
H
G
G
Oh
okay,
I
didn't
hear
the
other
one.
Thank
you,
sorry
and,
and
then
the
other
question
I
had
for
the
clerk.
When
you
were
doing
your
research,
did
you
and,
and
we
had
the
application
procedure
in
the
past?
Did
you
notice
how
many
applicants
there
were?
You
know
we've
been
discussing
how
many
people
there
might
be
to
interview
and
that
kind
of
stuff
I
wondered
if
there
was
some
history
of
how
many
people
actually
applied.
B
X
I
J
I
What
what
they
could
be,
how
many
Council
meetings
you've
been
to
and
your
level
of
involvement
and
are
you
considering
running
again,
could
be
long
essay
questions
or
they
could
just
be
when
we
do
the?
How
many
Council
meetings
have
you
been
to
those
are
just
check
box
questions
on
the
counseling
committee,
I
mean
commission
and
committee
for
the
commission
and
committee
applicants,
so
maybe
they're
not
full
questions,
but
otherwise
this
is
a
lot
of
questions
and
there
were
also
the
questions
that
that
residents
had
brought
up
that.
I
Before
about
particular
things
on
our
work
plan
that
people
said,
maybe
we
would
be
better
in
interviews,
but
now
it
seems
like
this
is
about
interviews
as
well,
so
I
guess
we
can
just
so
I'd
like
to
add
that
one,
how
they
you
know,
how
they,
how
they
would
address
things
on
our
upcoming
pal
or
work
plan,
which
ones
they
think
would
be
important.
That
would
be
I.
I
Think
an
interview
question
is
council,
member
matacek
said,
but
I
would
something
more
specific
on
those
to
be
asked
in
terms
of
an
interview,
so
I
don't
know
what
we
do
now.
We're
just
voting
and
Valley
out
is
seems
a
little
messy
to
me
the
process
of
just
voting
and
we're
not
saying
whether
they
go
on
the
application
or
the
interview.
How
are
you,
how
are
you
seeing
us
proceed
to
take
this
long
list
of
questions
and
and
work
with
them.
A
A
Wait
I'll
do
my
best
to
be
very
clear
and
whichever,
however,
it's
categorized
by
majority
first
is
where
it
will
land
right.
So
if,
on
the
first
vote,
you
know
I'll
say
do
we
want
to
include
this
on
the
application
right,
not
as
a
prompt
of
the
letter
of
interest
and
a
majority
of
us
support
that,
then
we
don't
need
to
take
additional
votes.
It
will
appear
on
the
application.
K
So
I
would
like
to
share
my
screen,
so
you
all
can
see
that
and
then
there's
also
columns
for
whether
you
want
it
on
the
application.
Whether
you
want
a
prompt
in
the
letter
of
interest
and
I
do
suggest
you
just
decide
your
interview
questions
tonight.
If
there
are
ones
that
you
feel
strongly
about
and
you
can
get
consensus
on,
I
say:
let's
go
ahead
and
do
it.
K
You've
already
put
most
of
them
on
the
table
and
then
when
we
come
back
on
the
24th,
if
there's
things
that
come
up
that
you
forgot
or
you
might
want
to
shift
things
around,
then
you
can
do
that.
But
let's,
let's
get
a
little
certainty.
We
definitely
have
to
have
certainty
for
the
application,
but
you
have
a
little
bit
of
wiggle
room
for
the
interview.
So
if
you
all
don't
mind,
I
can
share
my
screen.
K
A
B
H
From
what
I
remember
they
see
the
two
questions
seem
linked.
I.
Remember
us
having
a
long
discussion
about
it,
so,
okay
to
be
together,
I
I,
don't
care
where
they
are,
but
I
I.
Just
remember
that
came
up
quite
a
bit
and
since
the
majority
of
what
we
do
on
Council
is,
is
you
know,
land
use?
I
would
like
to
hear
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
K
K
A
A
H
A
X
I
So
yesterday
there
are
any
other
questions.
I
just
wanted
to
include
the
one
that
was
kind
of
asked
by
several
groups
when
they
emailed
us
questions
which
the
way
they
asked
it
was
long,
but
basically
how
how
applicants
engage
with
the
with
things
on
our
upcoming
work
plan.
And,
although
that's
a
vague
question
at
this
point,
when
we
talked
about
it,
people
or
at
least
council
member
matacek
said
it
would
be
best
to
put
that
in
in
an
interview.
I
A
We
will
take
straw
holes
right,
so
I'll
ask
everyone
to
raise
their
hand
as
we
go
through
each
question
and
categorize
them
and
I
think
again
with
an
understanding.
This
is
not
an
exhaustive
list
because
on
the
24th
we
will
have
another
discussion
about
interview
questions
if
we
want
to
make
modifications
or
add
questions.
X
K
Mayor
if
I
may,
I
just
want
a
little
more
clarity
on
what
I
just
changed
for
row
12..
So
we
have
the
current
strategic
work
plan,
which
is
what
applicants
would
see
in
January.
The
upcoming
work
plan
they're
not
going
to
know
about
yet
so
I
can
change
this
to
say
what
agenda
items
on
the
current
strategic
work
plan
or
what
items
on
the
on
the
current
strategic
work
plan
are
important
to
you.
Does
that
work?
A
A
A
So
there's
majority
support
for
that.
Thank
you
question
three.
Why
do
you
want
to
be
appointed?
Should
it
be
in
the
application,
raise
your
hand,
so
there's
one
two:
okay,
three
I'm,
only
seeing
three
for
that.
So
should
it
be
a
prompt
for
the
letter
of
interest
rates
here
in
it
one
two,
three,
four:
five:
okay,
so
the
majority
support
question
four:
why
do
you
believe
you
were
the
most
qualified
to
serve?
A
Should
that
be
in
the
application?
Raise
your
hand
there
is
not
majority
support
for
application,
and
actually
this
might
help
I
I
started
to
be
rude,
but
city
clerk
and
city
manager.
Would
you
mind
stopping
your
video
because
then
I
think
that
means
all
of
the
members
of
the
council
will
be
shifted
up
in
my?
Yes,
that's
perfect,
okay,
almost
a
little
bit
so
the
question:
why
do
you
believe
you
are
the
most
qualified
to
serve?
A
So
that's
question,
four,
so
application
one
more
time,
my
apologies,
there's!
No
support
for
them.
Should
it
be
in
the
letter
of
interest.
Raise
your
hand
one
two
three.
Yes,
the
majority
support
for
the
letter
of
interest.
Thank
you.
What
are
your
top
priorities
and
how
would
they
get
tackled?
Should
that
be
in
the
application.
J
A
A
A
One
two:
three:
a
council
member
command,
your
screen,
I'll
just
vote;
okay,
good,
that's
the
four!
So
yes,
so
that
should
be
that
got
four
votes
that
will
be
in
the
application
question
eight
discuss
one
Council
ball
and
what
it
means
for
you
should
that
be
in
the
application
to
two
three
four.
Yes,
that
is
in
the
application.
A
A
A
F
A
X
One
clarification,
I,
I,
guess:
I
want
to
make
sure
we
get
good
responses
to
this
one,
and
so
you
know
that
is
very
definitive.
Do
we
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
less
definitive
and
say?
Are
you
thinking
of
running
or
are
you
going
to
run?
You
know
any
variation
of
that
because
some
people
say
well,
you
I,
don't
know
for
sure.
If
I'm
gonna
run
and
then
they
might
say
no
and
then
they
run,
you
know
how
do
you?
How
do
we
make
it?
A
A
A
No,
the
letter
of
interest
no
and
then
the
interview
one
two,
three,
four,
yes
and
then
what
items
on
the
council?
Sorry
on
the
current
Council
strategic
work
plan
are
important
to
you,
support
for
including
that
on
the
application,
the
majority
on
the
letter
of
interest,
one
two,
three
four!
So
yes,
four
for
that
one
and
then
the
final
question:
how
would
you
balance
actually
I
think
we
did
have
a
question
about
public
comment
but
they're?
A
Well,
private
property
rights
with
public
benefits,
I
think,
is
the
question
that
was
often
in
the
EPC
questionnaire,
so
I
I
wouldn't
interpret
this
literally
but
I
think
it's
it.
What
council
member
Kami
was
suggesting
was
that
we
include
the
questions
that
we've
asked
in
the
most
recent
Planning
Commission
interview
process.
B
I
was
just
gonna,
give
the
city
manager
the
wording
from
our
last
EPC
meeting,
which
was
how
would
you
benefit?
How
would
you
balance
private
property
rights
and
Community
benefits,
and
how
would
you
consider
public
comments
from
residents,
property
rights
and
Community
benefits,
yes
from
residence,
perfect.
A
A
Okay,
we
are
a
very
thoughtful
and
deliberate
watch.
Are
there
any
final
comments
or
questions
about
about
the
questions?
There
are
still
some
other
questions
that
I'll
have
to
ask
about
the
appointment
process
based
on
the
agendas
but
whatever
so
city
manager,
I
think
we
can
take
these
questions.
Experience.
I
J
I
That
gives
me
no
information
they're
going
to
have
to
deal
with
those,
so
I'm
kind
of
making
a
plea
now,
maybe
I'm
speaking
out
of
turn,
but
for
for
switching
it
to
the
interview,
because
I
think
it's
kind
of
I
forget
where
it
landed,
but
maybe
it
was
a
prompt
in
the
letter
of
interest.
I
think
it's
not
a
very
useful
prompt.
So
if
people
are
willing
to
do
that,
they
can
and
if
not,
you
know,
it
landed
where
it
landed.
A
K
Thank
you,
mayor
I,
just
want
to
reiterate
so
where
you
all
landed
was
you
have
four
questions
for
the
application?
You
have
three
questions
or
kind
of
prompts
for
the
letter
of
interest
and
then
there's
five
interview
questions.
So
when
we
come
back
on
the
24th,
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
just
make
sure
that
all
of
this
is
included
in
the
staff
report,
and
then
you
can
discuss
these
five
questions
that
you've
landed
on
for
your
interview.
Tweak
them
change
them,
but
I
would
just
remind
you
all,
don't
be
adding.
K
G
Well,
two
things
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
we
don't
seem
to
have
captured
too
many
of
the
questions
that
we
received
in
emails
from
for
the
application
process,
and
if
we
only
have
one
more
question
left,
then
that's
that's
a
bit
of
a
problem
but,
for
instance,
I.
Don't
think
we
really
got
any
of
the
questions
from
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
included,
but
I'm
wondering
if
well,
what
I
really
want
to
talk
about
is
the
interview
process
itself.
G
G
So
that's
what
I
wanted
to
bring
up
now
is
is
how
are
we
going
to
do
this
interview
process,
or
are
we
going
to
talk
to
one
person
for
15
minutes
and
another
person
for
15
minutes
and
another
person
for
15
minutes,
or
are
we
going
to?
We
could
conceivably
I
I
know
when
I
got
interviewed
for
the
EPC.
We
had
four
people
that
were
interviewed
at
a
time
and
they
they
had
several
groups.
A
H
Great
thank
you.
Apologies
I
have
to
have
been
switching
back
and
forth.
I
have
connectivity
issues
today,
so
I'm
comfortable
with
adding
a
question
really
that
the
Mr
Katz
brought
up
from
the
chamber.
I
I
know
that
we
have
our
ad
hoc
group
of
council
members,
who've
been
working
on
like
The,
Pedestrian,
Mall
and
the
downtown,
so
I
don't
know
if
it's
better
suited
to
to
defer
to
them.
H
If
there's
a
question
that
they
would
like
to
add,
but
I
think
that
might
be
a
good
like
letter
of
interest
prompt
or
maybe
even
in
the
application
process,
but
I
do
think
that's
something
we
have
talked
a
lot
about
as
a
council,
so
I'm
happy
to
include
that
in
a
in
either
the
application
or
the
letter
of
interest.
Since
we've
kind
of
maxed
out
in
the
in-person
interview,
questions
thanks.
H
H
A
X
X
J
A
I
Yeah
I
have
to
say
I,
actually
kind
of
prefer
these
more
specific
questions
about
issues
we
grapple
with
and
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
came
from
the
public
are
those
and
I
I
did
like
I
actually
liked
all
the
questions
that
Peter
Katz
raised.
We
can't
ask
all
of
them
so
I
encourage
him
to.
He
said
he
might
hold
a
forum
and
I
I
encourage
him
to
do
so,
but
I
think
I'm
kind
of
going
in
the
direction
that
councilmember
matatrick
did
the
one
on
small
businesses
or
retain
retaining
businesses.
I
A
So
I
see
that
Mr
Katz
is
still
in
the
attendees
list.
So
what
I'll
suggest
is
that
Peter?
If
you
can
hear
us
or
or
me,
can
you
please
send
in
an
email,
the
questions
that
you
have
recommended
or
at
least
send
it
to
the
city
clerk
and
then
once
we
have
those
questions,
we
can
come
back
and
decide
whether
to
include
them
on
the
application
as
a
prompt
for
the
letter
of
interest
or
in
the
interview
process
itself.
In
that
way,
we're
not
just
seeing
what
the
question
is.
X
Thanks
and
the
only
comment
I
have
is
under
the
bullet
point
about
advertising
the
last
one.
Other
methods
distracted
by
Council
and
I
think
it
would
be
useful
to
send
information
to
the
neighborhood
associations
for
a
distribution
to
all
the
neighborhoods,
and
you
know
the
city
has
interest
lists
for
different
topics
and
I
was
wondering
if
any
of
those
would
be
appropriate
or
the
email
distribution
list
for
the
newsletter
that
the
city
sends
out.
X
A
E
K
Certainly,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
member
of
a
Coca,
so
I
would
just
say
when
we,
when
you
all
select
a
date,
I've
heard
interest
from
council
member
matacek,
saying
perhaps
30
minute
interviews.
Maybe
some
of
you
are
interested
in
shorter
interviews,
but
depending
on
how
many
applicants
you
have
let's
say:
there's
10
people,
that's
five
hours
worth
of
interviews.
If
it's
30
minutes
each
person,
obviously
you
can
figure
out
a
process
to
narrow
it
down
which
we
should
talk
about,
but
it.
K
E
E
I'll
say
on
the
30th:
I
actually
have
gonna
be
in
all
day
interviews
at
MTC
for
our
finalists
or
the
executive
directors.
It's
gonna
be
pretty
interviewed
out
already,
so
I
don't
want
to
be
interviewing
10
or
more
applicants
and
I.
Think
five
is
a
reasonable
number.
Many
we're
between
three
to
five.
A
So
I
think
a
majority
of
the
council.
Let's
do
a
quick
stop
poll
on
this.
Is
there
support
for
having
some
preliminary
process
where
we
would
weed
out
applicants
that
were
interested
in
interviewer
sort
of
like
the
San
Jose
process?
So
raise
your
hand
if
you
support
end
of
additional
processor
council
member
command.
H
A
There
are
no
established
criteria.
Each
individual
council,
member,
submits
I,
think
it's
it's
four
or
five
names
from
from
the
list,
and
if
four
or
more
council
members
expressed
interest
in
interviewing
that
person
and
that
person
advances
to
the
interview
process
and
four
is
less
than
a
majority,
since
there
are
only
nine
members
of
the
council.
Now
you
know
core
is,
is
indication
of
is
a
substantial
interest,
but
it's
not
majority
support.
H
H
So
you
know
I
think
that
I
I
think
I
would
be
a
little
bit
more
comfortable
with
the
criteria
that
was
kind
of
accessible
to
the
to
the
public
and
just
kind
of
letting
people
know
what
we
might
be
using
as
a
barometer.
You
know,
I
I
appreciate
the
comments
about
wanting
to
make
sure
we
have
a
good
sense
of
who
the
individual
is
and
and
I
agree
with
that.
H
F
H
Know
if
we're,
if
it's
an
open
and
public
process
to
apply,
then
I
think
we
need
to
have
an
open
and
public
process
in
which
we
let
people
know
what
the
criteria
is,
that
we
will
be
reviewing
the
applications
so
before
we
do
it.
So
that's
kind
of
the
comment
that
I
have
there
I
feel
a
bit
uncomfortable,
taking
a
vote
on
saying
that
we
will
weed
out
people
if
we
don't
discuss
what
the
weeding
out
process
is
and
since
we
are
a
part-time
Council,
not
a
full-time
Council
I
do
think.
H
F
A
H
Oh,
the
the
other
alternative
I
would
say
is
just
looking
looking
back
at
the
Timeline.
It
looks
like
applications
are
due.
The
18th
can
Council
discuss
at
our
meeting
on
the
24th
what
potential
criteria
we
have
based
on
how
many
applicants
we
receive,
because
it
kind
of
feels
like
a
little
big
cart
before
the
horse
right.
If,
and
so,
maybe
that
could
be
the
compromise,
which
is
to
say
at
the
24th
meeting
Council,
will
evaluate
the
list
of
applications
and
discuss
criteria
for
how
we'd
like
to
move
forward
with
the
interviews.
I
Yeah
I,
like
suggestion
and
in
addition
to
that
I
think
the
one
thing
we
have
on
the
application
that
to
me
clearly
I
mean
we
can
use
this
on
the
24th,
but
the
one
that
that
I
think
we
put
on
as
criteria
is
the
one
I.
Don't
remember
the
exact
words
but
the
the
question
regarding
whether
they've
been
to
Council
meetings
and
how
many
I
think
that
we
can
see.
Maybe
we
can
discuss
it
more
on
the
24th.
I
But
if
there's
you
know
a
clear
distinction
between
applicants,
I
don't
want
to
say
that
they,
it's
all
a
numbers
game
and
anybody
you
know,
will
rank
them
by
number
of
Council
meetings
and
that's
the
only
criteria.
But
if
there's
you
know
a
bunch
of
applicants
that
have
been
to
you
know,
somewhere
between
one
and
zero
Council
meetings
to
me,
that
that
would
be
a
reason
to
to
you
know,
screen
those
out.
That
seems
to
me
to
be
the
clearest
criteria
we
have
already.
E
So
I
was
going
to
ask
if
we
could
receive
the
applications
as
soon
as
possible
to
give
us
the
time
to
review
the
I
mean
I
was
expecting
to
review
them
all,
so
it
would
be
helpful
to
get
them
as
soon
as
we
can.
So
we
have
more
time
to
do
that
and-
and
you
know,
I'm
fine
right
with
the
process
and
waiting
on
until
the
24th
to
decide
based
on
how
many
applications
we
get.
E
But
you
know,
I
I
was
expecting
we're
going
to
read
through
all
the
applications
at
some
point,
and
the
issue
for
me
was
with
how
many
we're
going
to
interview
the
night
of
the
or
whatever
day
we
picked
for
the
interviews.
So
the
criteria
I'm
sure
we
can
talk
about
it,
but
I'm
just
was
going
to
base
it
on
the
applications
and
the
answers
and
come
up
with
my
you
know,
top
power
from
any
to
interview.
A
B
A
I
Okay,
well
I'd
love
to
hear
what
other
people
think
I
I
mean
honestly
I
think
this
timeline
is
ridiculous
and
I
know
that
we're
constrained,
but
to
get
up
to
get
the
word
out
to
get
it
filled
out
and
to
get
us
to
read
them
it's
you
know
it
shouldn't
be
this
way,
but
I
I
understand
that
no
hair
has
has
made
it
this
way.
So
this
is
what
we
have
to
deal
with.
E
E
Well,
how
do
I
do
I
was
one
I
guess
I
wanted
to
know
if
we
can
get
the
applications
beforehand?
You
know
my
thought
was:
if
they're
due
on
the
18th,
could
we
get
them
on
the
20th,
but
do
they
need
to
be
published
at
that
time
in
part
of
the
packet,
or
are
we
able
to
just
access
the
applications
ourselves
like?
E
If
you
know
we
were
hiring
somebody
just
to
give
us
as
much
time
to
read
through
them,
I,
don't
think
the
content
of
the
applications
matter
so
much
on
the
24th
like
it'd,
be
good
to
know
how
many
we
got
so
then
from
there
we
could
decide
how
many
we
want
to
narrow
it
down
to,
but
I
wasn't
yeah
necessarily
thinking
on
the
24th.
We
would
do
that
whittling
down
based
on
the
applications
and
then
the
Monday
is
actually
MLK
day.
B
F
Yeah
I'm
not
seeing
any
reason
why
they
can't
have
the
applications
as
they
come
in
early
I
mean
they
can
I
think
that
they
can
be
doled
out
to
the
city
council
members
on
a
rolling
basis
as
they
come
in.
They
are
shared
with
the
council
members
individually
for
their
own
personal,
individual
review
of
each
applicant's
papers.
G
G
Well,
I
think
we
may
have
actually
solved
the
problem,
then,
if
we
could
just
roll
them
out,
but
because
basically
real
it's
really
a
number
we're
going
to
be
worrying
about.
If
we
had
the
number
of
applications
on
the
24th,
then
you
know
we
can
do
the
math
and
figure
out
how
many
we
have.
You
know
time
to
interview
and
and
I
and
I
honestly
think
it'll
be
a
pretty
manageable
number,
because
we
have
there's
a
lot.
We're
asking
for
I
mean
a
form
700
a
letter
of
interest.
G
Most
people
have
a
resume
or
many
people
have
a
resume,
but
they
probably
want
to
redo
it.
Of
answering
the
questions.
I
mean
this
is
a
pretty
short
time
frame
for
people
to
get
this
stuff
together.
So
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
have
you
know
hundreds
I
would
imagine
we'll
have
on
the
order
of
you
know
five
to
ten,
but
but
we'll
see,
but
anyway
I.
The
other
thing
I
was
going
to
say
is
sometimes
in
these
processes.
G
You
will
point
a
subcommittee
to
go
through
the
applications
and
say
you
know
these
are
the
ones
we're
going
to
interview
if
we
have
that
many
that's
also
a
possibility.
We
don't
have
to
do
it,
as
necessarily
as
a
group
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up,
because
there
might
be
that
might
be
helpful.
A
A
K
A
Okay,
so
box
on
the
interview
date
from
the
council.
Is
there
support
for
Friday
the
27th
or
Monday
the
30th
it's
hands
for
Monday
the
30th?
If
there's
support
one
two,
three
four
okay,
unanimous
support.
So,
then,
is
there
support
for
the
proposed
timeline
with
the
modification
that
the
interview
will
be
conducted
individually
conducted
on
Monday
January
30th
raised.
H
Just
wanted
to
clarify
that
we
were
on
the
same
page
too.
I'd
be
interested
in
in-person
interviews
with
the
and
I
know
we'll
be
doing
the
hybrid
meeting
options
so
that
people
the
public
can
attend
virtually
should
they
choose,
but
I
think
we
had
discussed.
Someone
had
brought
that
up
and
I
think
it's
so
I'd
like
to
nail
that
down
that
I.
That
I
would
like
it
to
be
in
person.
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
if
there's,
if
that's
all
right
to
amend
yes,.
A
E
E
A
A
So
then
there's
unanimous
support
for
5
PM
in
person
and
we've
approved
the
time
frame,
approving
and
providing
input
on
the
application.
So
now
we're
going
to
go
back,
Mr
Cass
did
send
an
email
with
the
questions
and
I
I
think
we've
all
received
it.
If
you
have
not,
you
know,
please
let
us
know
but
feel
free
to
read
through
them
and
if
there
are
questions
you
would
like
to
include,
then
that
was
the
time
to
suggest
that
we
include
them.
I
You
know,
I
think
we've
all
been
getting
email
from
residents
regarding
the
idea,
how
much
they
care
about
small
businesses
and
and
vacancies
and
and
so
forth.
So
it's
number
two
that
I'm.
If
we
can
only
do
one
I'm
very
interested
in
number
two
and
also
I'm
actually
interested
in
all
of
them,
and
hope
that
the
chamber
can
hold
a
forum
as
well.
H
I,
like
I
like
number
one
and
two
as
council
member
matachek
suggested,
and
could
we
have
one
as
an
interview,
question
and
one
either
in
the
application
or
the
letter
of
interest.
If
colleagues
are
interested,
maybe
number
two
could
be
the
interview
question
since
we
heard
Vice
mayor's
interested,
particularly
in
that
one,
and
we
can
add
that
to
the
interview
we'll
you
know
we
can
adjust.
H
G
Yeah
I'm
quite
partial
to
the
fourth
one.
What
are
your
thoughts?
Ideas
for
improving
the
housing
Supply
to
me
today.
Today's
requirements,
including
R3,
as
well
as
planning
for
the
future
relatedly
increasing
housing,
needs
to
increase
its
attendance
levels
at
well,
I'm,
not
sure
if
we
need,
but
that
first
part
of
four
I
think
is
an
excellent
question
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
one
to
add
to
the
application.
A
A
First
application.
Second
letter
of
interest
third
interview:
is
there
support
for
including
in
the
application,
use
your
hand
one
two:
okay:
is
there
supporting
in
the
letter
of
interest
one
two,
three,
four,
okay,
so
question
one
will
appear
in
the
letter
of
interest
as
a
prompt
and
then
the
second
question
is
what
efforts
would
you
take
to
help
our
existing
businesses
stay
in
Mountain,
View
and
then
or
many
components
to
the
question?
Is
there
support
for
including
that
as
an
application,
question
or
research,
a.
A
Interest
interview,
question
and
support
for
including
questions
too,
as
an
interview
question
and
the
other
question
that
was
brought
up
was
the
first
part
of
question
four.
What
are
your
thoughts
or
ideas
for
improving
the
housing
Supply
to
meet
today's
requirements
as
well
as
well
as
planning
for
the
future,
so
support
for,
including
that
in
the
application.
A
A
A
G
G
A
Win
some
lose
some
I
like
to
say
so.
Is
there
support
for
directing
the
city
clerk
to
randomly
select
the
interview
order
of
the
applicants?
There
is
majority
support
for
that
now.
This
is
not
on
the
list,
but
it's
important
to
discuss
the
selection
procedure
and
there
is
a
proposal
attachment
to
in
the
packet
I
think
the
intent
is
to
try
to
adhere
is
as
much
as
possible
to
the
process
we
use
for
the
Planning
Commission,
it's
a
little
bit
more
detailed
here.
K
K
Sure,
okay,
so
we
have
captured
all
of
the
prior
questions
that
Council
determined
whether
they
were
going
to
be
in
the
interview,
the
letter
of
interest
or
the
application
packet
itself,
and
then
we've
also
added
the
three
additional
questions
that
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
proposed.
We
will
bring
those
back
to
you
all
on
the
24th
and
then
you
can
look
at
them
again
if
you
have
any
tweaks
or
changes
or
additions.
K
K
So
we
will
try
and
bring
something
to
you
all
to
react
to
and
then
in
terms
of
the
advertising
time
frame
of
the
vacant
position,
we're
okay
with
the
deadline,
the
18th
5
p.m.
Anything
later
than
that
will
not
be
taken,
and
we
will
also
make
sure
that
for
advertising
we
will
send
information
to
the
neighborhood
associations
to
share
the
information
and
everything
else
we
had
listed,
which
does
include
City,
Hall
connection
social
cities,
interest
lists.
K
We
will
just
make
sure
we
do
a
very
robust,
Communications
Outreach
in
multiple
languages
through
all
of
our
channels
and
then
lastly,
the
city
clerk
will
randomly
select
the
interview
order
of
the
applicants
and
you
all
are
in
unanimous
support
of
the
selection
process
that
staff
outlined
so
I
think
I
think
I
captured
everything.
But
that
is
a
summary.
So
thank
you
all
for
getting
through
this
in
a
a
very
clear
way
appreciate
it.
A
A
A
Are
there
any
final
questions
or
comments
before
we
conclude
item
4.1
I'm,
not
seeing
any?
So.
Thank
you
all
for
your
patience
and
working
through
this.
This
was
difficult,
but
I.
Think
we've
made
some
good
and
important
decisions.
Just
before
we
adjourn
I
wanted
to
I
was
hoping
there'd,
be
sort
of
an
ime
equivalent
person.
A
I
didn't
want
to
publicly
acknowledge
and
and
thank
the
staff
for
their
incredible
efforts
over
the
past
few
days,
preparing
for
the
storm
and
responding
to
many
many
requests
for
service.
You
know
Public
Safety,
Public,
Works,
CSD,
I,
think
everybody
has
been
involved
in
that
and
I'm
I'm.
Very
proud
of
for
someone
that
takes
a
lot
of
work
and
it
often
doesn't
feel
recognize
so
so.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
reference
in
serving
our
residents
over
the
past
few
days
and
with
that.
