going
to
say
very
few
words
just
welcome
and
I'm
just
so
sorry
we
couldn't
do
this
in
person.
It
was
it's
entertaining
to
see
you
in
a
room
all
the
two
of
you
all
alone,
but
I
would
much
prefer
to
be.
You
know
to
be
all
together
all
of
council
staff
members
of
the
public
to
welcome
you.
So
I'm
sorry
about
that
and
I
look
forward
to
it
in
the
future.
E
Thank
you
mary.
I
just
wanna
also
offer
my
welcome
and
congratulations.
I
really
appreciate
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Ms
loge
we've
had
a
couple
events
where
we've
been
able
to
be
together
the
last
week
and
I
can
already
tell
yeah,
I
feel
like
you're,
just
been
with
us
and
already
a
part
of
our
our
family.
So
I
look
forward
to
a
long
working
relationship.
E
F
G
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
I
want
to
extend
my
formal
welcome
to
our
new
city
attorney
as
well.
We
are
so
pleased
to
have
you
here

a
thanks
go
out
to
janney

found
us
an
extraordinary
city
attorney.
So
thanks
to
them
and
all
the
best
of
luck
to
you.
H
I
Thank
you
mayor.
I
would
like
to
just
echo
the
council
members
comments
and
I
believe
that
I
even
remarked
to
jennifer.
Maybe
it
was
today
or
yesterday
that
I
felt
like
I
had
been
working
with
her
for
a
long
time.
So
on
behalf
of
the
organization,
I
want
to
officially
welcome
you
to

and
we're
so
happy
that
you're
here
so
welcome.

A
We

Thank

We
will

take
public
comment
for
the
presentation
items.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
the
presentation
items
listed
on
the
agenda?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone.
A
timer
will
be
displayed
on
the
screen
and
we'll
go
ahead
and
allocate
three
minutes.
The
first
speaker
is
alex
brown.
K
A
D
A
A
L
L
Let's
do
the
study
first
before
we
do
the
retrofit,
so
we
don't
tear
down
a
perfectly
good
building
in
a
couple
years
and
just
want
to
point
out
that
with
just
the
three
projects
that
are
in
in
construction
right
now
in
the
stirling
plan
area,
two
thousand
more
people
will
be
coming
to
this
area.
You
know
in
a
few
years:
that's
just
those
are
projects
already
under
construction,
not
even
you
know
being
planned,
and
so
we
really
need
park
spaces.
L
K
Oh
hey,
I
thought
I
had
muted
all
right
long
time
like
thank
you
again
for
bringing
the
trail
back
into
alignment
and
including
mobile
home
residents.
My
neighbors
are
all
frequently
concerned
about
displacement,
and
this
is
just
a
good
step
to
trying
to
really
alleviate
that
concern.
So
thanks
4.3,
by
the
way.
A
No
other
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
speak
will
return
to
the
council
for
deliberation,
and
I
will
note
that
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar
should
also
include
reading
the
title
of
the
ordinances
attached
to
items
4.2
and
4.3,
and
the
resolution
attached
to
4.4
and
those
are
listed
in
the
agenda
flow
and
I'll.
I'll.
Also
request
that
the
maker
of
the
motion
note
the
no
vote
registered
by
council
member
matajak
for
item
4.2.
A
D
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
comment
on
items.
Oh
gosh,
let
me
find
them.
It
was
two
items
regarding
okay,
4.5
and
4.6,
4.5,
being
miramonte
avenue,
improvements
and
4.6
being
intersection,
traffic
signal
and
replacement
and
upgrades
on
shoreline,
latham
and
church
street.
I
just
there's
been
a
lot
of
concern
in
the
community
recently
about
the
bike
fatality
on
grant
and
el
camino
and
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
from
from
members
of
the
public.
D
I'm
sure
other
council
members
have
as
well
on
what
we're
doing
regarding
bicycle
and
sometimes
pedestrian
safety
as
well,
and
I
just
I
know
that
not
everybody
who
comes
to
these
meetings
reads
all
the
ads
on
the
consent
calendar
and
I
wanted
to
let
people
know
that
there
were
that
there
are
improvements
for
bike
safety
in
both
of
these
items,
and
there
will
be.
We
will
also
be
visiting
that
issue
on
multiple
other
occasions
as
well.
H
Yeah,
even
though
the
items
on
the
consent
calendar
aren't
necessarily
controversial,
they
do
represent
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
on
the
particularly
on
the
part
of
our
staff.
So
I
I
wanted
to
just
just
bring
that
to
people's
attention,
particularly
on
this
list.
In
particular,
we
we
see
a
lot
from
public
works
and
from
finance,
and
so
I
wanted
to
thank
those
staffs
for
for
their
efforts
and
also
echo
what
vice
mayor
hicks
said
about
the
bicycle
infrastructure.
H
H
H
Only

The
illoni
tribe
is
currently
seeking
federal
recognition
as
tribe
status,
which
they
do
not
have.
Currently,
there
is
a
joint
resolution
at
the
state
level
that
is
sitting
in
committee.
Both
mark
berman
and
josh
becker
are
in
support
of
it,
but
I
I
would
love
to
see
the
city
of
mountain
view,
pass
a
proclamation
recognizing
that
we
live
on
molecular
lonely
land
and
calling
to
on
the
state
state
legislature
to
move
the
bill
forward.
M
M
I
would
love
to
see
that
at
the
city
level,
I
also
encourage
all
council
members,
anyone
who
may
be
listening
to
go
to
the
department
of
interior
website
and
contact
us
and
say
I
live
in
mountain
view
and
would
like
the
federal
government
to
recognize
the
maloney
tribe.
I've
done
that,
but
I'm
just
one
person-
and
I
would
love
to
see
this
happen
at
the
municipal
level.
Thanks
a
lot.

The
fiscal
year
2022-23
annual
action
plan
has
been
shared
per
the
city's
citizen
participation
plan.
This
includes
all
the
items
listed
here
on
this
slide,
including
notices
in
the
mountain
view,
voice
and
palo
alto,
daily
post
emails
to
interested
parties,
including
the
nonprofit
partners
that
we
work
with
postings
at
city,
hall
and
the
library
and
on
our
website
in
multiple
languages,
a
presentation
at
the
april,
7th
human
relations
commission
meeting
and
then
tonight's
city
council
meeting
just
a
reminder.
O
O
There
may
be
small
changes
in
the
final
allocation
and
the
action
plan
anticipates
that
and
will
adjust
the
funding
proportionally
to
what's
discussed
here
and,
as
you'll
see
we're
proposing
expending
the
funds
per
the
limitations
of
the
fund
of
each
of
the
funds.
The
next
section
is,
what's
called
our
unallocated
funds.
This
includes
program
income.
We
received
this
year
that
we
didn't
anticipate
in
last
year's
action
plan
as
well
as
funds
that
we
had
previously
allocated
on
things
like
administration
but
didn't
spend,
and
then
the
last
section
is
our
estimated
program
income.
O
O
O
You'll
note
that
of
the
between
the
two
years,
a
larger
portion
of
funds
were
granted
last
year,
both
to
allow
non-profits
to
meet
the
significant
need
that
they
were
facing
during
the
pandemic
and
also
to
expend
significant
funds
that
the
city
had
available
that
year
in
order
to
give
grantees
maximum
flexibility,
they
are
allowed
to
use
the
funds
designated
last
year
in
this
upcoming
year.
So
this
90
000
is
not
all
that
they
will
have
available
this
year.
O
O
The
county,
in
partnership
with
the
city,
submitted
a
state
home
key
application,
which
we
anticipate
hearing
back
about
quite
soon,
and
the
city
and
state
city
and
county
also
worked
on
a
developer
selection
process,
which
is
just
wrapping
up
through
all
of
this
process.
We've
refined
the
plan
for
how
the
site
can
best
be
used,
and
it's
helped
us
to
better
understand
likely
costs.
O
One
of
the
costs
that
we
are
anticipating
is
the
cost
of
converting
a
portion
of
the
units
into
multi-bedroom
family
units.
The
rest
will
remain
studio
units
because
of
all
this,
it's
clear
that
more
funds
are
needed
for
the
project
and
therefore
staff
recommends
allocating
approximately
1.5
million
in
this
year's
plan.
To
the
project.
O
A
E
E
O
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilmember
the
initial
bay
area
allocation
was
expended
very
very
early
on
in
the
home
key
grant
process,
but
some
of
the
other
buckets
of
funds
were
still
are
still
available
and
also
there
have
been
reallocations
from
other
regions.
So
we're
quite
hopeful
that
these
funds
will
be
forthcoming.
A
M
P
A
E
E
H
Yes,
I'm
definitely
going
to
support
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
comment
that
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
the
nonprofits
that
we
support,
and
I
was
really
pleased
to
see
that
you
included
that
table
in
the
in
the
presentation,
because
I
know
the
support
that
we
give.
Those
non-profits
is,
you
know,
is
really
important
to
them.
I
mean
it
doesn't
keep
them
running
by
themselves
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination,
but
it
does
help
a
lot.
So
thank
you
for
including
that,
and
you
know
we
that's
that's.
H
We
have
a
long-standing
tradition
of
doing
that
and
then
the
other,
the
other
non-profit
I
wanted
to
mention,
was
check.
Tac
has
been
an
organization,
we've
supported
for
many
years,
and
sometimes
it's
been
in
this
process,
but
it's
not
in
this
process
anymore.
It
gets
a
special
allocation
and
that
will
come
up
in
the
budget.
So
I
just
wanted
anybody
who
was
listening.
Who
was
worried
about
whether
we'd
forgotten
them?
G
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
give
my
thanks
and
compliments
to
staff
as
well,
in
particular
on
the
crestview
project
and
moving
incredibly
rapidly
and
in
a
in
a
very
good
way,
and
I
think
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
really
meaningful,
important
addition
to
our
community
and
and
serve
people
very,
very
well.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
A
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Michaela
and
wayne
for
the
presentation
we'll
now
move
on
to
item
6.2,
ordinance,
approving
a
military
equipment,
funding
acquisition
and
use
policy
assistant
city
attorney,
megan,
mirovich
and
police
chief
chris
shung
will
present
the
item.
Please
begin
when
you're
ready.
Q
Thank
you
good
evening.
I'm
megan,
maravich
assistant
city
attorney
and
police
chief
shang
will
be
joining
me
later
in
the
slides
first
this
evening.
I'll
provide
background
and
information
regarding
assembly
bill.
481
then
we'll
present
to
you
the
mountain
view,
police
department's
draft
policy,
709
on
military
equipment,
funding,
acquisition
and
use.
Q
The
complete
draft
policy
is
attachment
two
to
the
council
report
to
provide
background
and
and
context
to
ab-481.
In
september
of
2021,
the
state
legislature
passed
and
governor
newsom
approved
eight
law
enforcement
reform
bills.
These
bills
included
the
expansion
of
public
access
to
law
enforcement
records
restricting
the
use
of
law
enforcement
equipment
during
protests,
among
others,
ab481
was
adopted
to
increase
transparency
into
the
funding,
acquisition
and
use
of
military
equipment
by
local
law
enforcement
agencies.
Q
Ab-481
requires
the
city
council
to
approve
a
military
equipment
policy
in
order
for
the
police
department
to
continue
use
of
existing
equipment.
If
the
policy
is
approved,
the
police
department
will
publish
an
annual
report
documenting
equipment
usage
reporting
on
compliance
with
the
policy
and
including
community
feedback
received
throughout
the
year.
Q
Q
Q
R
Thank
you,
member
good
evening,
honorable
mayor
vice
mayor
and
council
members.
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
little
context
on
the
type
of
equipment
that
we
have
and
I
think,
while
it's
important
to
note,
that
the
list
that
you
see
can
be
confusing
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
what
specifically
they
use
the
term
militarization
describes
what
it
is,
but
I
think
it's
also
important
to
call
out
more
importantly,
how
and
why
we
use
the
equipment
which
I
think
oftentimes
can
get
confusing.
R
For
example,
the
drones
and
the
the
rv
that
we
have
that
qualify
for
the
list
on
the
militarized
equipment
are
actually
available
to
anybody
off
the
shelf
as
well.
So
that's
just
one
example:
no
single
piece
of
equipment
that
we
have
in
the
police
department
is
perfect
for
any
situation,
so
the
the
tact
that
we
use
is
like
any
specialized
piece
of
equipment.
R
We
want
to
be
prepared
for
sometimes
the
worst
case
scenario
to
keep
our
community
safe
in
general,
you'll
kind
of
get
a
sense
of
the
theme
of
the
more
specialized
equipment
that
we
have
the
higher
degree
of
training.
The
fewer
number
of
mountain
view-
pd
personnel,
are
able
to
be
qualified
to
use
it
and
the
higher
degree
of
leadership,
authority
or
command
authority.
That's
required
to
even
deploy
it
or
use
it.
R
We
are
kind
of
keep
our
ears
to
the
ground
on
a
lot
of
the
different
incidents
happening
around
the
country
and
even
in
our
region,
and
I
think
we're
all
familiar
with
the
gilroy
garden,
shooting
the
vta
railroad
yard,
shooting,
as
well
as
active
shooters
that
unfortunately,
are
kind
of
the
norm
again
around
the
country.
So
we
pay
particular
attention
to
the
types
of
weapons
that
the
suspects
are
using
in
these
cases
and
oftentimes
serve
as
the
tabletop
exercises
for
us.
R
So,
as
mentioned,
we
don't
have
equipment
in
every
single
category
that
you
saw
that's
listed
in
the
staff
report,
but
we
do
have
general
ones
that
that
qualify
so
in
in
our
our
inventory.
Specifically,
we
do
have
drones
and
a
robot
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
the
drones
that
we
fly
are
actually
commercially
available
and
council
adopted
a
drone
use
policy
back
in
2019.
R
R
We
do
have
breaching
equipment,
that's
termed
explosive
breach,
and
I
want
to
call
out
that
generally,
what
you
see
in
here
on,
unlike
netflix
or
tv
or
movies,
is
not
and
quite
very
different
than
how
we
would
use
it.
It's
a
very
surgical,
specific
type
of
tool,
that's
used
in
very,
very,
very
fine
definitions
and
then
the
the
category,
eight,
nine
and
ten
that
covers
patrol
rifles,
sniper
rifles.
R
So
our
patrol
rifles
is
one
category
which
is
deployed
in
every
police,
car
and
motorcycle
they're
locked
up,
and
they
remain
there
and
the
general
usage
there
is,
if
you
think
of
it,
this
way
our
handguns.
Our
pistols
are
effective
up
to
a
certain
range
for
close
range
in
terms
of
defending
life,
but
rifles
are
a
lot
more
accurate
and
the
way
we
would
use
rifles
differs
greatly
in
terms
of
the
way
a
military
application
might
be.
R
So
that's
also
something
I
want
to
call
out
that
distinguishes
it.
The
last
category
is
less
lethal
munitions.
It's
a
category
that
covers
either
rubber
batons,
tear
gas
and
tear
gas
comes
in
many
forms.
Sometimes
we
will
use
in
terms
of
crowd
control
situations
other
times
it's
a
munition
that
can
be
shot
into
a
room
that
disperses
a
small
amount
of
tear
gas
to
in
those
situations,
move
a
suspect
from
one
room
to
another.
R
Q
How
does
ab-481
affect
the
city
of
mountain
view?
Well,
if
the
city
council
adopts
an
ordinance
approving
the
military
equipment
policy,
police
department's
policy
709,
the
mountain
view,
police
department
will
be
able
to
continue
to
use
the
equipment
that
is
designated
as
military
equipment
and
listed
as
in
the
inventory,
which
is
attachment.
A
G
G
R
G
Okay,
so
over
the
past
couple
years,
we've
seen
when
there
were
political
demonstrations
and
both
well
really.
All
of
these
things-
bean
bags,
pepper,
balls,
tear
gas,
batons
etc
were
used
within
our
county,
and
I
am
just
trying
to
see
if,
in
the
policies
that
we're
adopting,
is
there
anything
that
distinguishes
between
political
speech
and
and
when
someone
becomes
a
a
suspect
in
a
crime
you
mentioned
using
it
for
crowd
control.
R
So
the
use
in
terms
of
crowd,
control
situations
and
there's
nothing
specific
to
the
term
political
type
of
rallies
or
anything
like
that
in
any
sort
of
crowd
control
situation,
if
there,
if
it
becomes
a
situation
where
crimes
are
being
committed,
windows
are
being
broken,
for
instance,
or
there's
fights
or
something
the
incident
command
at
that
point
would
deem
it
a
basically
a
riot
and
give
a
riot
proclamation.
So
at
that
point
and
certain
criminal
elements
have
to
be
met
at
that
point.
R
R
N
R
I
don't
believe
so
because
I
think
the
manual
side
of
it
is
more
mostly
like
an
inventory,
what
we
have,
what
we'd
like
to
have,
how
we've
used
it,
because
the
other
parts
of
the
policy
like
policy
709,
is
part
of
an
overall
the
mountain
view,
police
department
policy,
so
the
other
parts.
Other
chapters
have
actually
already
have
it
covered
in
the
use
of
force
in
the
swat
section.
D
So,
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
staff
for
this
thorough
report.
It's
a
lot
of
information
to
digest,
not
in
my
field,
but
I
you
know.
Usually
I
rely
on
our
our
committees
to
do
sort
of
the
deep
dive
on
things
like
this.
So
I
was
wondering
I
know
that
the
our
psab,
the
public
safety
advisory
board
did
a
review
of
this
policy
and
I
I
assume
that
that
you
are
a
part
of
that.
R
If
I
recall
the
discussion,
one
was
clarification
on
what
exactly
a
pistol
the
difference
between
a
pistol
and
a
rifle.
I
provided
that
and
that
in
essence
is
range
and
accuracy.
There
was
another
question
in
terms
of
like
mutual
aid.
If,
if
a
neighboring
agency,
like
sunnyvale,
has
an
armored
personnel
carrier,
what
are
the
qualifications
there
and
the
answer
to
that?
R
Being
that
sunnyvale
city
of
sunnyvale
has
their
police
department
has
presented
that
piece
of
equipment
to
their
council
already,
but
again,
if
we
were
to
call
upon
them
for
help
the
usage
of
it
would
have
to
go
through
our
chain
of
command
to
allow
for
it.
And
if
I
recall
there
was
some
comment
on
it
was
more
one
of
the
commissioners
highlighted
just
kind
of
events
around
the
country
that
in
many
cases
the
police
department
were
outgunned
and
responding
to
these
things,
because
the
the
types
of
weapons
that
criminals
use.
D
Okay
and
then
I
I
appreciate,
when
I
read
this-
that
this
is
going
to
come
back
to
us
every
year,
because
I
really
think
it
takes
quite
a
bit
of
time
to
digest,
and
so
I'm
wondering
the
top
of
page
two
of
the
staff
report
says
every
year
the
city
has
to
prepare
a
military
equipment
report,
hold
a
community
engagement
meeting
and
get
the
policy
approved
by
a
governing
body.
Can
you
outline
how
we're
likely
to
do
that?
Will
it
involve
the
psab
or
a
separate
community
meeting
or
both?
D
Q
So
that
gives
the
30-day
period
in
advance
to
the
council
meeting
where
it
would
be
introduced
for
renewal.
There
is
no
requirement
that
the
report
go
before
the
report
in
the
policy
go
before
psab,
but
the
there's
the
community
engagement
meeting
would
be
held
by
police
department
and
then
it
could
go
to
council.
It
could
potentially
be
a
consent
item
if
there
were
no
changes
to
the
policy
or
significant
uses
to
report.
D
R
Sure
I'm
happy
to
do
so
so
like
with
tear
gas.
It
would
be
almost
like
a
canister
that
you
pull
the
pin
on
and
when
you
do,
it
lets
off.
Basically
a
lot
of
smoke
and
within
that
smoke
is
the
chemical.
It's
a
cn
or
cs
gas.
It's
an
irritant.
So
if
it
gets
on
your
skin
your
skin
burns,
if
it
gets
in
your
airways,
it
makes
you
tear
up,
makes
it
just
very
unpleasant,
but
it's
not
lethal
at
I
mean
hypothetically.
R
If
you
were
trapped
in
a
room
and
it
it
kind
of
displaced
the
oxygen,
that's
a
concern
and
that's
something
we
we
definitely
take
into
account,
but
in
the
open
air
it.
Basically,
you
can
wash
it
off
with
water
and
that's
that
and
so
in
smaller
quantities.
If
you
imagine,
if
you've
ever
seen
like
a
shotgun
shell,
they
have
little
shotgun
shells
that
have
little
projectiles
that
have
a
plastic
capsule
of
the
same
chemical
and
so
one
application
we
might
use,
but
only
by
the
swat
team
members
would
be.
R
If
we
knew
a
suspect,
was
in
the
back
side
of
a
house,
and
we
wanted
to
move
him
or
her
to
the
front
side.
We
would
shoot
into
the
room
before
we
do
that.
We'd
have
to
know
who
was
in
the
room.
We
couldn't
just
blindly
fire
into
the
room,
but
that
would
explode
in
a
little
wall.
A
little
puff
would
go
out
and
that
irritant
would
fill
that
room
right
and
the
thought
there
being.
You
move
people
from
one
end
of
the
house
to
the
other,
there's
other.
R
R
R
They
have
to
go
to
a
two-week
school,
it's
quite
quite
intense
and
quite
mathematical,
but
they
have
to
look
at
the
material
they're
trying
to
get
through
the
wall
and
calculate
how
much
debt
court
to
use
and
shape
it
in
a
form
that
would
allow
maybe
a
six-foot
police
officer
to
fit
through
and
when
we
would
use
it.
Give
you
an
example
of
a
use
case
is
typically
only
in
a
hostage
rescue
situation.
R
Half
of
this
is,
while
all
of
that's
going
on
is
extensive
negotiations
by
our
hostage
negotiators.
So
our
preference
is
if
we
have
to
sit
there
and
talk
for
four
six,
eight
20
hours
we'll
talk,
but
what
would
trigger
the
decision
to
use
an
explosive
breach
is
suddenly
the
hostage
negotiator
telling
us
the
suspect's
unstable
he's,
made
a
threat
to
hurt
or
kill
the
hostage
or
we
believe
he's
actually
moving
towards
the
hostage
to
do
so.
Then
the
command
authority
would
be
given
to
do
an
immediate
rescue.
So
it's
mostly
like
a
tool.
R
R
H
H
R
H
R
We
have
an
armory,
that's,
I
think
it's
governed
by
state
osha,
it's
it's
like
a
fireproof
type
of
box,
so
everything
that's
in
there.
That's
that
type
of
munition
is
stored
within
there.
There's
fire
department
oversight
of
that
because
we're
storing
something
that's
that
could
be
explosive
in
nature.
So
that
part
has
a
lot
of
different
safety
protocols
around
it.
H
H
R
There's
a
there's:
a
number
of
dealers
and
vendors
will
generally
go
out
to
state
bid,
so
like
ammunition
or
firearms
there's
quite
a
few
up
and
down
the
state
that
deal
solely
with
law
enforcement
agencies.
They
don't
just
sell
one
thing:
they'll
sell
the
tear
gas
they'll,
sell
the
bullets.
They'll
sell
the
rifles
they
have
to
go
through
all
the
same
federal
firearm
licensed
protocols
as
if
anyone
was
buying
a
weapon.
So
everything
is
serialized
and
completely
there's
a
lot
of
paperwork
involved.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
answers
your
question.
H
R
Correct
and
that's
a
good
distinguish,
it's
something
distinguished
because
the
military,
the
program
you're
talking
about
was
known
as
the
1033
program,
where
the
military
would
give
free
surplus
weapons
in
our
entire
inventory
of
roughly
90
something
rifles.
I
believe
five
of
them
were
provided
free
by
the
military.
The
rest
were
purchased
prior
to
that
just
using
general
general
city
funds,
they're,
almost
identical
and
again
this
goes
back
to
the
very
beginning
of
my
presentation.
R
How
you
use
a
weapon
like
this
is
very
different,
the
what
is
the
same
right,
they're,
the
same
piece
of
equipment,
but
in
the
military,
for
example,
if
you
say,
cover
fire
they're,
basically
spraying
a
lot
of
bullets
down
towards
the
enemy
police
departments
operate
entirely
differently.
We're
accountable
for
every
single
bullet,
that's
fired,
so
we
cannot
just
indiscriminately
fire
weapons
same
weapon
platform
different
entirely
180
degree
different
way
to
use
it.
H
Okay
and
then
the
other
thing
I
I
was
hoping
we
could
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
is,
is
the
use
of
drones.
I
really
enjoyed
seeing
the
demonstration
of
the
drone
at
the
you
know
with
the
pal
event
on
on
friday,
and
I
really
think
that
that
these
drones
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
utility
throughout
our
city,
not
just
for
not
just
for
this.
H
In
fact,
looking
at
the
photo
that's
behind
megan,
I
think
that
was
probably
taken
by
a
drone
and
it's
you
know
it's
very
nice
photo
so
anyway,
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
you
know
how
you
the
police
department?
Oh
I
you
know.
I
asked
that
question.
The
police
department
owns
the
the
drones,
and
yet
you
lend
them
out
for
other
departments
use
or
you
help
other
departments
with
them.
How
does
that
work.
R
Sure
so
this
is
actually
outlined
also
in
our
drone
use
policy,
but
they're,
basically
free
to
use
by
other
city
departments.
So
our
most
frequent
customers,
the
public
works
department,
we're
happy
to
fly
the
drones
above
all
the
city
buildings.
It
saves
someone
from
getting
on
a
ladder
or
renting
the
equipment
to
get
onto
a
roof
where
we
can
basically
just
hover
over
the
parts
that
they
want
to
look
at.
R
To
my
knowledge,
they
used
it
twice
over
the
past
couple
years,
the
city
of
palo
alto
next
door
when
they
had
a
a
foot,
pursuit
called
for
our
help,
and
we
had
one
of
our
drone
operators
working
and
was
able
to
fly
up.
Unfortunately.
Well,
fortunately,
for
them
they
caught
the
person
before
we
actually
got
up
in
the
air,
but
in
terms
of
the
ways
we
use
it
internally
is
also.
R
There
was
one
case
where
we
were
trying
to
arrest
a
suspect
known
to
carry
weapons,
and
the
drone
was
hovering
above
his
house
first
before
we
surrounded
the
house
and
they
actually
saw
the
guy
put
the
gun
in
a
bag
and
throw
it
over
the
fence.
And
you
know
that's
a
danger
to
the
public,
because
if
we
didn't
know
about
that
and
we
weren't
looking
for
it,
then
you
know
anyone
a
child
could
come
along
and
find
a
loaded
gun
that
gun
in
that
case
turned
out
to
be
a
ghost
gun.
R
H
Q
Q
A
Thank
you,
then.
We
will
turn
to
the
public.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to

comment
on
this
item?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,

and
zoom
or
press
star

on
your

A
timer
will
be
displayed
on
the
screen.
Let's
go
ahead
and
allocate
two
minutes.
The
first
speaker
is
tim
mckenzie.
M
Hi,
all
at
last
month's
psab
meeting,
in
addition
to
military
use
policy,
there
was
a
presentation
on
the
budget
where
we
learned
by
mvpd's
own
numbers
and
admission
that
there
are
well
over
twice
as
many
sworn
officers
as
are
needed
nearly
three
times
as
many
as
are
needed
for
24
7
coverage
across
the
city.
We
furthermore
learned
that
the
distribution
between
sworn
officers
carrying
weapons
and
community
service
officers
is
three
to
one.
75
percent
are
sworn
officers
and
25
percent
are
community
services
agents.
M
M
I
ask
city
council
to
reject
the
military
use
policy
until
such
time
as
the
percentage
of
sworn
officers
to
community
service
agents.
Agencies
within
the
police
department
has
completely
swapped
so
that
we
have
three
times
as
many
community
service
agents
than
we
do
people
with
military
weapons.
I
don't
think
it
is
appropriate
for
military
weapons
and
the
fact
that,
if
this
is
rejected,
may
require
a
huge
reworking
of
policies
isn't
necessarily
a
bad
thing.
M
S
S
If
anyone
on
city
council
knew
that
they
had
all
these
different
types
of
equipment,
chemical
munitions,
explosive,
breaching
equipment,
sniper
rifles,
I
knew
that
they
had
grown
because
I
came
up
two
years
ago
at
a
council
meeting,
but
I
did
not
know
they
had
like
tear
gas,
and
I
think
this
speaks
to
a
broader
problem
with
policing
and
that's
that
there
basically
isn't
very
much
oversight.
Local
officials
typically
don't
get
into
local
government
because
they
want
to.
You
know
like
look
over
what
the
police
department
is
doing.
S
A
lot
of
local
officials
get
involved
because
of
land
use
or
bike
infrastructure,
and
so
cities
have
been
deferring
a
lot
of
these
decisions
to
the
police
departments,
and
you
know
I
I
think.
Of
course
we
should
make
decisions
about
when
to
have
these
kinds
of
equipment
just
in
case,
but
we
should
make
those
decisions
like
they
should
actually
be
decisions.
S
The
fact
that
we've
just
had
this
equipment
for
so
long
and
like
I
think
most
of
us
did
not
know
that
they
had
all
these
different
types
of
military
equipment
is
alarming
right.
We
haven't
really
been
asking
like
how
common
is
it
that
there's
a
critical
event
in
a
city
like
mountain
view?
How
common
is
it
that
a
police
could
a
police
officer?
Could
mobilize
that
event
and
then
use
a
sniper
rifle
to
end
that
critical
event?
I
I
don't
think
we
know.
S
I
also
don't
think
we
know
if
our
public
safety
dollars
would
be
better
spent
protecting
children
biking
to
school
right.
We
could
spend
this
money
differently
for
public
safety.
I
I'm
open-minded
to
what
those
decisions
end
up
being,
but
I
just
don't
think:
we've
even
had
these
decisions
as
a
city.
Thank
you.
P
I
don't
really
see
a
case
in
the
future,
where
mountain
view,
police
department
needs
water,
cannons
or
giant
taser,
shockwave,
machine
or
explosive
projectiles
or
a
weaponized
aircraft,
or
a
humvee
anytime
soon,
but
this
policy
as
it
stands,
still
leaves
that
open,
because
it's
not
a
ban.
It
just
says
that
we
have
a
process
to
collect
them
in
the
future,
but
I
think
it'll
be
more.
I
would
be
more
confident
in
the
city
if
we
just
get
those
off
the
table
in
the
first
place,
rather
than
needing
to
just
come
back
in
the
future.
P
I
do
I
wrote.
I
knew
this
report
that
says
that
there
are
various
of
these
items
that
basically
haven't
been
used
right.
Chemical
munitions
never
been
used
sniper
rifles.
The
last
one
was
used
was
for
a
person
who
barricaded
himself
in
a
building
which
I,
as
an
outsider,
would
say,
that's
a
waited
out
game,
but
obviously
I
was
not
in
situations,
so
I
can't
fully
say
that
explosive
reaching
equipment
that
has
never
been
used.
P
I
understand
that
police
are
imagined
to
be
prepared
for
worst
case
scenarios,
but
that
is
kind
of
a
maintenance
cost,
not
necessarily
financial.
Just
someone
has
to
do
that
stuff
that
perhaps
focuses
the
police
resources
on
situations
that
monthly
just
never
happen,
whereas
the
things
that
do
happen
stolen
bikes,
they
have
don't
really
get
addressed
with
any
of
these
flash
equipment
so
yeah
those.
A
K
Okay,
hey
chris,
as
a
participant
in
mvpdx.
I
just
want
to
say
I
feel
cheated
that
I
was
not
invited
to
either
play
with
the
drones
or
the
deck
cord
I
feel
like
if
I
want,
if
I'm
supposed
to
get
a
picture
of
what
mvpd
is
and
can
do
that,
I
want
the
full
breadth
of
it
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
breach
a
wall
using
decor.
That
sounds
like
fun.
A
Thank
you
see
no
other
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
speak.
I
will
now
bring
the
item
back
for
council
deliberation
and
action
and
note
that
a
motion
to
approve
the
recommendation
should
also
include
reading
the
title
of
the
ordinance
attached
to
the
report
or
any
comments
or,
if
not
emotion,
is
in
order.
F
While
I
was
aware
of
some
of
these
items,
I
wasn't
aware
of
all
of
them,
but
I
think
the
key
takeaway
for
me
is
these
items
are
not
used
very
frequently
and
they
are
used
for
very
specific,
narrowly
defined
circumstances,
and
so
it's
not
like
they
are
used
every
day.
They're
there
just
in
case-
and
I
appreciate
the
psab,
taking
a
look
at
this
and
asking
questions.
F
H
H
H
F
So
I
guess
I
would
like
to
understand.
We
also
then
have
to
have
a
separate
meeting,
that's
held
by
the
police
department,
which
means
it
would
be
reviewed
or
we'd
have
three
separate
times:
psab
police
department,
city,
council,
or
could
we
combine
any
of
those?
I
don't
have
any
problems
with
the
piece
of
you
know
reviewing
it.
I
just
I'm
worried
about
the
number
of
meetings.
H
Yeah,
I'm
a
little
worried
about
that
too,
which
is
why
I
asked
the
question
about:
could
they
conceivably
have
a
joint
meeting,
but
at
the
same
time
I
feel
like
we
have
just
founded
this
public
safety
advisory
board
and
their
and
their
job
is
really
to
help
us
with
the
oversight
of
the
police
and
understand
what
our
police
does
in
our
community,
and
it
seems
like
this
is
a
you
know.
This
is
a
job,
that's
really
appropriate
for
them.
So
I
I
would
really
like
them
to
be
involved.
F
G
G
I
I
Q
G
D
So
I'll
be
brief
I'll
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion.
I
think
the
most
important
one
of
the
more
important
things
about
this
is
that
it's
a
process,
it's
a
a
lot
to
digest
all
in
one
reading,
and
I
I
certainly
wouldn't
want
to
be
throwings
out
right
and
left
on
the
dice
right
now.
But
I
think
this
is
a
process,
and
I
I
appreciate
that
council,
member
matacek
and
and
shower
added
the
pseb
going
over
this
as
well,
because
I
think
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
form
the
the
psab.
D
B
Yes,
good
evening,
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
clarification
with
regard
to
the
psab
meeting
and
then
the
community
meeting
that
is
to
be
held
by
the
law
enforcement
agency.
We're
definitely
going
to
look
into
combining
that
meeting
into
one
meeting.
I
I
will
point
out
that
the
ab
41
is
new
and
I'm
sure
that
there
will
be
some
later
clarification
regarding
that,
because
there
are
many
cities
that
have
advisory
bodies
like
psab
that
should
weigh
in
on
and
on
items
like
this.
B
A
H
A
F
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
why
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
have
a
combined
meeting,
not
just
the
fact
that
it's
fewer
meetings
but
the
psab
is
an
established
board,
and
so
I
think
people
are
more
apt
to
take
notice
of
their
meetings
than
they
would
a
completely
separate
meeting
and
there
might
be
greater
attendance
at
that
because
it
is
an
established
board.
So
that's
in
addition
to
fewer
meetings.
I
think
it's
important
that
they
be
combined
because
it's
an
existing
forum
thanks.
A
A
G
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
I
I
noticed
that
mr
tim
mckenzie
referenced
the
mwakmah
and
there's
actually
an
event
coming
up
on
the
30th
at
santa
clara
university.
That's
going
to
be
a
day-long
cultural
event
with
the
muhammad
tribe
and
the
url,
for
it
is
wekma.org,
and
I
think
that
that
should
be
quite
interesting
for
people
from
our
area.
G
E
Thanks
mirror
sorry,
I
had
a
couple
of
items
to
report
out
on
so
on
saturday,
silicon
valley,
clean
energy
celebrated
their
fifth
anniversary,
and
I
was
gonna,
ask
to
show
the
video
there's
a
nice
video
that
stuff
put
together,
but
it
was
five
minutes
long,
so
I
think
I'll
just
send
it
to
all
of
you
and
probably
will
post
it
on
my
facebook
site
too.
But
a
lot
has
been
accomplished
in
five
years
and
we
have
a
lot
to
be
proud
of.
E
As
one
of
the
founding
for
agencies
of
svce
at
the
air
district,
we
have
the
retire.
We
had
the
retirement
of
our
apco,
which
is
the
air
pollution
control
officer,
are
basically
our
head
person,
jack
broadbrand,
and
we
are
in
to
begin
about
to
begin
our
search
for
a
new
apco.
We
also
passed
new
sequa
thresholds
for
evaluating
significance
of
climate
impacts
from
land
use
projects
and
plants.
So
what
does
that
mean?
E
It's
mostly
advisory,
but
this
is
basically
giving
some
guidelines
on
you
know
what
would
be
acceptable
ways
of
reducing
ghg
emissions.
So
some
of
the
suggested
guidelines
include
things
like
this:
is
all
land
use
and
building
no
gas
appliances,
reduction
of
vmt
ev
charging
stations.
So
a
lot
of
the
work
that
the
cities
have
already
been
doing
have
now
been
incorporated
into
these
new
sequa
threshold
guidelines,
so
that
that
was,
I
think,
a
major
achievement
to
to
have
that
move
up
to
the
air
district
level.
Bta.
E
We
had
a
workshop
on
friday,
where
we
went
through
the
fine,
a
finance
assessment,
that's
being
conducted,
a
report
on
that
that
gave
us
like
a
10-year
projection
of
vta
finances
as
well
as
vta
forward.
This
is
a
plan
to
strengthen
and
prepare
the
vta
workforce
for
challenges
ahead.
So,
as
you
know,
we
have
a
new
general
manager
and,
with
her
staff,
has
engaged
in
this
plan
to
try
to
one
just
recover
from
kovid,
but
looking
forward
looking
for
ways
to
improve,
hopefully
improve
the
workforce
and
include
improved
service
for
our
writers.
A
H
You
know
these
reports,
so
so
I
I
I
think
they
kind
of
fall
on
deaf
ears
and
they
they
don't
have
the
impact
that
that
they
should
have
so.
I
would
also
like
th
this
analysis
to
consider
other
ways
to
ask
for
us
to
communicate
that
information
either
by
just
sharing
emails
with
everybody,
which
we
have
gotten
legal
advice
over
years,
is
either
I've
gotten
legal
advice.
H
Some
of
the
time
I
was
on
council,
but
that
was
acceptable
to
send
something
to
the
whole
council
and
then
I've
gotten
legal
advice
more
recently
that
it
was
not
acceptable.
So
I
would
like
to
know
you
know
if
I
want
to
write
up
a
little
report
about
one
something:
that's
happened
at
a
regional
meeting.
Can
I
just
share
it
with
my
council
members,
so
I
would
like
all
those
things
to
be
considered
in
this.
I
think
that,
there's,
you
know
definitely
room
for
improvement.
So
thanks
for
bringing
it
up.
