Priority

federal
legislative
advocacy
during
the
2023
legislative
session
assistant
to
the
city
manager,
Christina
Gilmore
will
present
the
item.
A
C
Great
thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
and
Council
Christina
Gilmore
assistant
to
the
city
manager.
As
the
mayor
just
stated,
the
purpose
of
the
study
session
item
is
to
receive
city
council
input
on
the
proposed
legislative
program,
priorities
and
issues
that
guide
the
city's
Regional
and
State
Legislative
advocacy
during
the
2023
legislative
session.
C
Joining
me
this
evening
is
Dane
Hutchings
managing
director
from
Rennie
public
policy
group.
The
city's
legislative
advocacy
consultant,
Dane
and
I
will
present
the
proposed
legislative
platform
to
the
city
council
for
discussion
and
input,
after
which
staff
and
rppg
will
be
available
to
answer
questions
about
the
proposed
platform.
C
As
part
of
the
fiscal
Year's
21
2021-22
and
2022-23
strategic
plan,
Council
adopted
a
project
to
develop
and
Implement
and
enhance
legislative
program
under
the
organizational
strength
and
good
governance
strategic
priority
in
November
2021,
the
city
engaged
RPP
rppg
to
be
our
legislative
advocate
and
in
February
of
2022,
the
city
adopted
their
first
20
legislative
platform.
The
legislative
platform
that
was
adopted
in
2022
consisted
of
11
issue
areas
and
97
policy
statements.
C
The
legislative
platform
serves
as
a
guiding
document
for
the
city
to
promote
and
preserve
its
interests
at
the
regional
state
and
federal
levels.
It
also
provides
ongoing
direction
for
City
staff
and
the
legislative
Advocate
to
engage
on
a
variety
of
legislative
issues
and
is
a
guiding
document
for
the
city
to
promote
and
preserve
its
interests
at
the
regional
state
and
federal
levels.
C
So
a
summary
of
the
2022
legislative
advocacy
during
the
2022
session,
the
city
with
the
assistance
from
rppg,
engage
in
10
Regional
issues.
We
engage
in
13
pieces
of
State
legislation
and
five
Federal
legislation
issues.
We
also
were
able
to
obtain
two
Federal
funding
earmarks
in
from
the
with
the
assistance
of
Representative
Anna
Su,
and
we
also
increased
our
state
and
federal
intergovernmental
affairs
representing
the
city's
intergovernmental
interests
through
meetings
with
legislators
and
staff
to
communicate
the
city's
interests.
C
The
2023
legislative
platform
that
you'll
be
discussing
this
evening
is
based
on
the
2022
platform.
We,
our
PPG
and
staff,
met
with
each
City
Department
to
receive
feedback
from
them
about
the
platform
statements.
It
does
carry
forward
the
11
policy
issues
that
the
council
approved
in
the
2022
platform.
However,
it
does
modify
two-issue
area
titles
to
be
more
inclusive,
so
the
first
issue
area
that
we
modified
is
the
recreation
and
parks
issue
area
to
include
Library
services,
and
we
also
modified
the
homelessness
issue
area
to
include
Human
Services.
C
C
C
D
I
wanted
to
provide
really
just
a
high
level
overview,
we're
still
very
early
into
the
this
year's
new
legislative
session,
but
thought
since
I
was
here
to
provide
some
counsel
on
the
platform.
Providing
a
quick
snapshot
where
we're
at
on
the
legislative
session
would
be
a
good
use
of
time
as
well
go
ahead
and
next
slide.
Please
I.
D
D
So,
from
a
high
level
priority,
you
know
we
have
seen
some
of
the
most
turnover
in
the
legislature
since
2012
when
new
term
limits
were
established,
and
so
we
have
now
24
new
assembly
members
and
10
new
state
senators
and
so
really
a
whole.
You
know
by
2024,
we'll
see
complete
turnover,
which
means
we'll
see
new
priorities,
new
directions
and
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
continue
to
engage,
not
only
its
legislative
delegation,
but
you
know
other
lawmakers
throughout
the
state
of
California
bills.
D
Right
now
are
still
being
trickled
in
we're
going
to
see
really
an
influx
of
bills
likely
up
to
about
2
000
different
pieces
of
legislation
will
be
introduced
by
February
17th
of
this
year.
So,
right
now
from
what
we've
been
able
to
see
from
what's
being
introduced
right
now,
here's
some
of
the
major
themes
that
we
have
been
able
to
identify.
D
D
We're
also
seeing
moving
on
to
more
of
the
sort
of
the
housing
and
homelessness
issues.
There's
one
what
we
call
an
intent,
Bill,
meaning
that
it
doesn't
at
its
current
introduction,
does
not
actually
change
any
sort
of
code
or
section
of
law.
But
it
is
the
intent
of
the
legislature
too
and
so
sort
of
forecasting
what
they
want
to
do,
which
is
essentially
creating
a
what
you
would
liken
to
your
Regional
Housing
needs
assessment
for
housing,
sort
of
the
same
thing
for
homelessness.
D
D
That
has
been
an
ongoing
theme
for
a
couple
of
years
next
slide
now,
typically
speaking,
the
governor,
through
his
budget,
really
tries
to
outline
his
legislative
priorities
or
his
policy
objectives
to
the
budget
this
year
is
is
one
of
those
years.
It
was
really
Rosy.
Last
year
we
saw
these
really
record
surpluses
this
year,
unfortunately
we're
seeing
a
fairly
significant
budget
deficit
around
25
billion,
more
specifically,
the
governor
plan
for
22.5
billion
dollar
reduction.
D
So
major
themes
that
the
governor
has
has
put
forth
is
closing
some
of
those
funding
shortfalls
through
some
discretionary
Cuts,
also
some
trigger
Cuts.
So
if
we
see
by
that
by
the
May,
revise
levels
of
funding
have
not
come
back
that
that
could
trigger
automatic
Cuts
in
specific
programs
also
pulling
from
reserves.
The
goal
the
governor
has
outlined
is
really
not
to
try
and
cut
programs,
but
really
try
and
use
reserves
and,
if
needed,
out
your
trigger
Cuts.
So
we
can
keep
Baseline
funding
for
this
year.
D
That
being
said,
he's
also
pushed
pretty
significantly
and
really
made
a
point
to
address
homelessness
through
local
accountability.
However,
not
a
lot
of
increase
in
funding
to
help
close
the
gaps
for
those
services,
and
so
you
know,
of
course,
I
know
that
you
know
I
had
the
pleasure
today,
of
of
really
taking
a
tour
of
the
city
and
seeing
all
the
great
work
that
the
city
is
doing
not
only
in
addressing
its
homelessness
issues,
but
also
in
in
Spring,
affordable
housing.
D
But
we,
you
know,
we
need
to
rely
on
the
state
as
a
partner
to
ensure
we
can
close
the
funding,
Gap
and
so
we'll
be
working
with
the
administration
on
that
housing,
affordability
and
accountability,
climate
resiliency
and
transportation.
Now
he's
you
know,
the
governor,
through
the
budget,
has
really
been
wanting
to
push
more
streamlining
of
Transportation
active
Transportation,
not
necessarily
widening
of
Roads
or
anything
of
that
nature,
but
trying
to
find
ways
to
do
more
mass
transit
in
those
areas
as
a
ties
to
reducing
ghgs
and
climate
resilience.
D
But
again,
at
the
same
time,
there's
also
some
pretty
heavily
proposed,
Cuts,
specifically
in
rail,
which
I
know
actually
has
a
specific
interest
to
the
city
with
respect
to
its
potential
grade
crossing
projects.
And
so
there's
a
projected
about
two
billion
dollar
reduction
in
some
of
those
funds
that
we
really
want
to
take
a
close
look
at
and
see
if
we
can
Advocate
in
keeping
those
funds
restored,
or
at
least
at
Baseline,
oh
and
then
last
but
not
least,
keeping
Californians
safe.
D
California
with
some
of
the
unfortunate
incidences
that
have
been
happening
with
gun,
violence
and
and
in
addition,
seeing
a
pretty
significant
increase
in
in
fentanyl
abuse,
and
so
these
are
areas
of
law
that
both
the
administration
and
the
majority
of
the
legislature
are
really
going
to
be
pushing
this
year.
And
so
we
look
to
see
a
lot
of
those
measures
both
through
the
budget
and
also
through
State
legislation.
D
So
so
you
know
the
with
respect
to
the
process
of
modifying
the
platform
you
know.
Council
was
was
very
engaged
last
year
in
crafting
these.
These
policy
statements,
what
we're
really
looking
to
do
this
year
and
what
we
should.
What
we're
trying
to
to
do
each
legislative
cycle
is
to
take
a
look
to
see
if
the
policy
statements
are
still
germane,
do
they
need
to
be
expanded?
D
D
D
Assessing
you
know
major
issues
and
projects,
initiatives
that
the
city
is
undertaking
and
how
that
may
align
with
State
priorities
and
even
Federal
priorities,
major
policy
areas
of
importance
that
that
we
as
your
Consultants,
can
help
elevate
your
profile
also
Monitor,
and
engage
as
needed,
seeking
out
critical
funding
priorities
both
on
the
the
regional
state
and
federal
grant
opportunities.
Also
seeking
federal
and
state
budget
earmarks
I
can
tell
you.
We
have
been
in
contact
already
early
with
your
delegation
with
respect
to
opening
the
conversation
about
State
funding
requests
with
a
25
billion
deficit.
D
I,
don't
know
how
fruitful
we're
going
to
be.
That
being
said,
I'm
I
am
okay,
with
continuing
to
remind
our
delegation
the
importance
of
our
priorities
and
and
and
making
sure
that
we're
top
of
Mind
should
we
see
an
augmentation
in
the
May
revise
and
have
an
opportunity
to
seek
some
District,
specific
funding
and
then
and
then
last
but
not
least,
you
know
how
can
rppg
best
support
the
city
and
its
advocacy
efforts,
and
so
using
that
lens
we
have
the
you
know
really.
The
following
proposed
modifications
for
discussion
and
consideration.
A
Okay,
so
thank
you.
Mr
Hutchings
and
Ms
Gilmore
I
think
this
was
the
first
staff
and
consultant
presentation
in
almost
three
years.
So
congratulations
on
getting
through
it
note
that
the
following
individuals
will
be
available
for
questions
some
of
them
participating
via
Zoom.
It
will
be
Nicholas
Hargis.
The
field
representative
for
representative
Ona
issue,
supervisor
Joe
simidian,
who
I
believe
is
with
us
in
real
life,
the
the
from
the
Santa
Clara,
County,
Board
of
Supervisors
and
I.
Think
that
will
be
it
at
this
point.
Is
that
true
Ms
Gilmore?
A
Thank
you.
So
would
any
member
of
the
public
joining
us
either
virtually
or
in
person
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item?
If
so,
either
click
the
raise
hand
button
in
Zoom
or
submit
a
blue
speaker
card
to
the
city
clerk,
and
we
will
take
in-person
speakers
first
and
I
believe
if
I
have
this
right.
This
is
the
first
time
I've
done
it.
Kevin
Ma
is
has
he
submitted
he
stepped
out.
F
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Nicholas
I'm,
a
field
representative
for
congresswoman
issue
and
I
wanted
to
start
out
by
sharing
that
congresswoman
Ashu
was
in
Half
Moon
Bay.
Today,
in
the
wake
of
yesterday's
horrific
mass
shooting,
he
was
grieving
with
families
and
the
community
and
in
her
press
conference
with
local
elected
officials
and
Governor
Newsom,
she
noted
that
yesterday
was
a
tragic
call
to
action
for
us
to
redouble
our
commitment
to
making
sure
that
something
like
this
can
never
happen.
Again.
F
F
We
also
worked
hard
to
secure
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
a
bicycle
pedestrian
under
Crossing
at
the
Caltrain
Crossing
at
the
intersection
of
Evelyn
avenue
and
Bernardo
Avenue
in
Mountain
View
last
year,
Congress
passed
the
inflation
reduction
act,
which
made
a
historic
investment
in
clean
energy.
It
lowers
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
40
percent
by
2030
through
369
billion
dollars
in
tax
incentives,
grants
and
loans
for
clean
energy
and
other
technology
to
reduce
emissions.
F
F
It
caps
the
monthly
out-of-pocket
cost
for
insulin
to
35
dollars
for
Medicare
beneficiaries,
which
started
on
the
first
of
this
year.
It
also
caps
out
of
pocket
spending
on
drugs
at
two
thousand
dollars
annually
for
Medicare
beneficiaries,
and
it
saves
an
average
of
eight
hundred
dollars
per
year
for
13
million
people
on
their
health
insurance
plans
through
the
Affordable
Care
Act.
F
Congresswoman
issues,
priorities
for
2023
include
housing.
Representative
Su
has
been
a
strong
supporter
of
funding
for
programs
like
Community
Development
block
grants
and
the
home
investment
partnership
program
to
help
develop
new,
affordable
housing
in
the
Bay
Area
and
protect
existing
stocks.
Representative
eschu
voted
to
increase
funding
for
federal,
Housing
Programs
by
8.1
billion
dollars
in
transportation.
Congresswoman
Su
voted
for
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
law,
which
will
provide
four
and
a
half
billion
dollars
in
guaranteed
funding
to
the
Bay
Area
over
five
years.
F
In
addition
to
other
competitive
programs,
cities
and
Transit
providers
can
apply,
for
he
remains
committed
to
ensuring
that
the
funds
that
have
yet
to
be
allocated
benefit
for
constituents
and
finally,
in
protecting
choice.
Representative
issue
has
spent
her
entire
adult
life,
advancing
the
equality
of
women
and
girls
and
protecting
and
defending
choice
with
a
supreme
court,
unwilling
to
protect
the
right
to
access
an
abortion.
F
The
need
for
federal
legislation
to
permanently
protect
women's
rights
over
their
bodies
has
never
been
more
urgent.
Representative
issue
will
not
give
up
or
give
in
on
this
issue,
because
we
should
trust
women
to
make
the
best
decisions.
Thank
you,
and
if
anyone
has
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
connect
them
with
our
team.
G
Staff
asked
if
I
might
share
with
you
five
minutes
of
priorities
for
the
coming
year,
so
think
of
it,
as
so.
I
have
an
even
greater
sense
of
urgency
about.
Let's
get
this
done.
Let's
get
that
done,
then.
I
ordinarily
would
and
my
urgency
level
is
usually
pretty
high
anyway.
So
in
the
next
two
years,
things
that
are
specifically
relevant
to
Mountain
View
that
I
will
be
focusing
on
are
the
completion
of
what
we
shorthand
call
the
teacher
housing
project.
G
I
am
hoping
that
we
will
break
ground
in
April,
but
I'll
believe
it
when
I
see
it,
because
that's
the
way
I
am
about
these
things.
We
also
have
a
project
designed
to
serve
housing
project
designed
to
serve
folks
in
the
intellectually
and
developmentally
disabled
community
on
Charleston
Road
in
Palo
Alto,
just
around
the
corner
from
Mobility
path.
G
For
those
of
you
who
know
that
area
on
Middlefield
the
best
thinking
in
the
field
these
days
is
to
make
sure
there's
a
mix
of
housing,
so
25
of
the
50
units
there
would
serve
the
general
public,
but
at
affordable
levels
as
well.
25
of
the
units
would
be
specifically
geared
towards
folks
in
the
DD
Community
developmentally
disabled
Community
ability
path
has
had
an
office
there.
G
Historically,
this
is
on
a
county,
owned
property,
we're
going
to
try
and
well
we're
not
going
to
try
we're
going
to
put
services
from
ability
path
actually
in
the
building,
so
that
they
are
right
there
on
site
and
then,
of
course,
the
main
campus
for
ability
is
just
around
the
block
so
that
folks,
in
this
North
County
area,
who
are
thinking
I'm
still
here
for
my
young
adult.
But
what
are
they
going
to
do
for
housing
when
I'm
gone
one
day
have
an
answer
to
that
question?
G
That
project
has
been
approved,
we're
looking
for
funding
now
and
that's
the
challenge
of
the
moment,
but
we're
going
to
have
a
demolition
exercise
sometime
in
the
next
couple
of
months
and
we'll
invite
you
out
to
demal
or
something
because
before
we
can
put
something
up,
we
got
to
take
something
down.
I
know
you
know
about
distel
Circle
right
next
door
in
Los
Altos,
which
again
will
serve
the
North
County
area.
G
Really
a
very
big
deal
in
that
Los
Altos
has
I
think
struggled
to
develop
consensus
around
building,
affordable
housing,
and
this
was
a
project
that
on
a
council
that
folks,
sometimes
characterized
as
being
split.
3-2
voted
5-0
for
the
the
city's
first
all-affordable
housing
project
in
their
70
years
of
existence,
so
I
thought
that
was
an
encouraging
sign.
That
project
could
be
made
if
we
did
it
well
and
right,
and
then
I
don't
have
to
tell
anyone
on
this
Council
that
there's
a
project
called
Crestview,
which
you
heard
a
passing
reference
to.
G
That's
one
where
we
have
a
city
partner,
County
partner,
Federal
partner.
It's
everything
takes
longer.
We
have
Partners,
but
you
can
do
a
whole
lot
more
and
I
think
we're
going
to
do
a
whole
lot
more
and
we're
making
progress
there
as
well
on.
So
that's
on
the
housing
front
that
those
are
just
sort
of
four
specific
things
on
my
to-do
list.
In
addition
to
the
larger
measure,
a
efforts
that
I
know
you
are
all
aware
of.
G
On
the
health
care
front,
some
of
you
are
able
to
join
minus
when
we
announced
and
did
a
press
conference
on
Middlefield
Road
announcing
that
there
would
be
a
County
Health
Clinic
in
the
Fifth
supervisorial
District,
where
we
sit
I'm
sure
for
folks
who
are
listening.
They're
like
well.
Why
is
that
a
big
deal?
And
the
answer
is
because,
in
the
172
year
history
of
this
County
there
has
never
been
a
County
Health
Clinic
in
District
Five,
our
district
North
County
and
West
Valley.
G
Every
one
of
the
other
four
districts
has
at
least
three
or
four
County
hospitals
or
clinics.
For
years
and
years,
we've
had
to
make
the
case
that
there
really
was
a
need
for
such
a
facility
and
set
of
services
here
in
the
north
county,
and
we
in
fact
found
a
building
on
Middlefield,
not
quite
into
Mountain
View,
but
right
on
the
border.
It
was
as
close
as
we
could
get
it's
literally
one
parcel
away
from
San
Antonio
and
because
it's
an
existing
building,
we
have
rehab
work
to
do.
G
But
the
hope
is
that
by
the
end
of
2024,
we'll
be
able
to
open
the
door
and
provide
services
to
the
county
Clinic
to
Folks
at
modest
means
who
use
those
services
and
by
the
way,
trying
to
do
another
one
like
it
in
the
West
Valley
shout
out
to
Patrick
Ahrens
the
president
of
the
foothill
De
Anza
Community,
College
District
board,
who
said
you
know,
we've
got
this
De
Anza
campus.
It's
got
some
space.
G
We've
got
a
lot
of
community
college
students
and
surrounding
community
members
who
could
use
a
County
clinic
as
well
never
been
done
before.
So
that's
a
bit
of
a
challenge,
but
we're
talking.
We
have
an
exchange
of
letters,
sort
of
a
notice
of
of
interest
and
we're
hoping
to
have
a
feasibility
study
wrapped
up
by
June
or
July,
so
stay
tuned
on
that
one,
but
right
next
door
here
coming
soon
as
the
North
County
clinic.
G
Some
of
you
know
that
I
have
been
focused
on
mental
health
for
young
people.
Since
the
very
beginning
of
my
time,
back
on
the
Board
of
Supervisors
years
ago,
I
had
someone
come
up
to
me
at
a
holiday
party
and
say:
why
is
it
that
there
isn't
a
single,
secure
bed
in
an
acute
care
facility
for
teenagers
who
are
at
risk
of
doing
harm
to
themselves
or
others?
Mental
who
are
really
you
know
in
a
bad
way
in
terms
of
their
mental
health?
G
Maybe
thinking
about
suicide
and
I
was
new
newly
back
on
the
board
and
I
thought.
Well
that
can't
be
the
case
in
a
county
with
two
million
people
and
they
said
no
that's
the
way
it
is,
and
so
I
went
and
checked
and
sure
enough.
If
you
were
a
14
year
old
kid
and
you
needed
to
be
in
an
acute
care
facility
for
six
or
seven
days,
you
were
likely
to
get
shipped
off
to
San
Francisco
Sonoma
Sacramento.
If
you
were
lucky,
you
might
get
sent
to
a
facility
in
San.
G
G
So
that's
a
start
and
like
so
many
things
it
takes
longer
than
I
wish
it
would
or
could
or
should,
but
we've
at
least
dug
a
hole
and
we're
about
to
start
building
something
after
I
think
too
long
a
period
of
time,
but
that
will
serve
young
people
who
are
in
a
tough
way
throughout
our
County,
including
right
here,
folks
from
Mountain
View
Who.
Currently
don't
really
have
a
resource
at
a
very
tough
time
in
their
lives.
G
Covet
is
still
with
us
and
you
may
or
may
not
have
heard,
that
it
is
the
expectation
of
the
county
that
they
will
start
to
shut
down
the
county
testing
sites
and
covid
vaccine
sites
for
boosters
sometime
in
the
late
February
March
April
time
frame.
I
have
said
it
to
you
before,
but
I
want
to
say
it
again.
G
Thank
you
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
making
the
community
center
available
for
so
long,
and
you
were
very
patient
about
you
know,
waiting
waiting,
waiting
to
get
it
back
to
use
and
by
the
way
your
staff
was
just
great
I
was
you
know
out
there
meeting
with
them
from
time
to
time
and
off
one
night
handing
out
test
kits,
and
they
were
game.
They
were
really
game
and
it
was
just
really
sweet
to
see.
So
thank
you
for
that.
G
The
site
that
is
currently
in
Mountain
View,
as
you
know,
is
a
Los
Altos,
School
District
site
and
over
in
Joanne
Fabric
territory.
There
over
by
the
icon,
show
Showplace
theater.
It
will
close
February
28th.
So
if
you
know
folks
who
wanted
to
get
a
booster
still
haven't
gotten
a
booster,
it's
quick,
it's
free,
go
get
your
booster!
G
If
you
want
one,
but
after
February
28th,
it
looks
like
that
will
be
a
little
bit
more
challenging
and
folks
will
have
to
go
back
to
their
providers,
and
you
know
we're
pushing
on
the
providers
to
step
up
to
do
their
job,
a
host
of
programs
that
try
and
bring
Health
Care
to
folks
that
I
call
the
missing
middle
of
Health
Care.
These
are
folks
who
don't
make
enough
to
have
first-rate
insurance
that
covers
them
and
ensures
them
a
provider,
but
perhaps
make
a
bit
too
much
to
qualify
for
a
program
like
Medi-Cal.
G
So
we
have
a
range
of
programs
and
a
range
of
acronyms
to
go
with
them
and
I
will
not
impose
those
on
you,
Madame,
mayor
or
council
members.
I
will,
however,
call
out
just
one
program
because
it's
a
personal
favorite,
because
it
was
a
among
the
initiatives
from
my
office
and
that's
called
medassist
and
not
a
very
flashy
name.
But
the
general
notion
was
that
there
are
some
drugs
that
are
life
essential,
they're,
not
nice,
to
have
they're
Gotta
Have
I'm
talking
about
folks
who
need
epipens,
because
they're
at
risk
of
anaphylactic
shock
I'm.
G
Talking
about
folks
who
have
diabetes
and
need
insulin
or
other
relatively
high
cost
medications
that
have
emerged
I'm
talking
about
folks
who
have
asthma,
perhaps
and
need
inhalers,
and
these
things
cost
an
arm
and
a
leg.
And
if
you
don't
have
first-rate
health
insurance,
good
luck
and
now
there
is
a
program
called
medassist
that
the
county
runs.
Our
friends
at
the
state
and
federal
level
have
tried
to
wrestle
this
one
to
the
ground,
haven't
been
able
to
do
it
except
for
seniors.
G
The
program
again
is
called
Med
Assist
and
even
people
making
well
into
the
six
figures
qualify
for
a
reduced
cost
subsidy,
pretty
simple
approach,
which
is
just
say,
turn
in
your
bill
and
you'll
get
a
rebate,
and
so,
if
anybody
is
in
that
category,
who's
listening
I
hope
they
will
check.
In
again.
This
is
not,
for
quote
low-income
folks.
Only
it's
for
folks
well
into
six
figures
depending
on
family
size.
G
That's
a
one
land
use
the
Stanford
community
plan
amendments.
Why
would
you
care?
Why
do
you
care?
Because,
after
three
years
of
what
we
thought
was
an
application
for
three
and
a
half
million
square
feet
of
facilities?
Approval,
some
of
you
will
recall
back
in
2019
the
university
decided
to
step
away
from
its
application.
G
It
withdrew
the
application
literally,
but
that
left
a
number
of
issues
unresolved
about
development
on
the
Stanford
lands
in
the
future
of
the
8
000
Acres
of
Stanford
land
four
thousand
are
in
the
unincorporated
County
and
are
the
responsibility
of
our
County
Board
of
Supervisors.
What
happens
on
that?
Unincorporated
acreage
has
immense
impacts
in
terms
of
traffic
in
our
area,
including
Mountain,
View
and
housing
demand
in
our
area,
including
Mountain
View.
G
So
our
general
plan
Amendment,
which
we
call
a
community
plan
Amendment,
because
it's
focused
on
this
particular
Community,
specifically
addresses
protection
of
open
space
in
the
Foothills,
try,
traffic
mitigation
and
housing
mitigation
and
I
believe
if
we
can
ever
get
to.
Yes,
it
will
be
to
the
benefit
of
all
of
the
surrounding
communities,
because
future
development
will
be
fully
mitigated
as
I
believe
it
should
be.
The
other
land
use
issue
and
I
am
always
surprised
that
the
number
of
Mountain
View
folks
who
ask
about
this.
G
Some
of
you
are
aware
of
something
called
the
Lehigh
Quarry
and
cement
plant
sea
heads
nodding,
and
it's
a
Cupertino
thing.
I
can
assure
you
but
I
hear
about
it
pretty
much
everywhere
in
my
district
and
you
know
it's
been
80
to
100
years.
I
finally,
just
said:
could
we
get
a
list
of
all
the
violations
for
the
last
decade
and
because
I
I
felt
like
we
were
constantly
sort
of
getting
nickeled
and
dimed
on
violations
and
the
staff
did
a
great
job?
G
What
kind
of
council's
office
did
a
great
job
came
back
and
said?
There
are
2135
violations
over
the
last
decade
that
we
can
document
there
may
be
more,
and
that
has
resulted
in
a
conversation
about
what
I
would
say
are
my
three
goals
which
are
see
if
we
can't
get
the
cement
plant
shut
down,
see
if
we
can't
stop
the
quarrying
activity
and
eventually
restore
and
reclaim
the
site
Lehigh
has
indicated
they
are
prepared
to
do
the
first
two
of
those
things
shut
down
the
Plant
and
stop
the
quarrying
activity.
G
They
have
a
somewhat
different
business
model
in
mind.
That's
yet
to
be
fully
fleshed
out.
I'll
be
working
on
that
for
the
next
two
years,
caveat
no,
the
3,
500,
acre
Quarry
site
will
not
be
fully
restored
and
reclaimed
in
two
years.
It
doesn't
work
like
that.
It's
a
big
ticket
item
that
will
involve
literally
decades,
but
if
we
can
get
some
legally
binding
language
in
place
on
the
closure
of
the
cement
plant
and
the
Quarry
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
day's
work
all
around.
G
Law
enforcement
reform
and
accountability
over
the
last
10
years
or
so.
Obviously,
the
question
is,
you
know:
can
you
get
that
done
in
a
way
that
still
keeps
people
safe,
I?
Believe
you
can
I,
don't
think
those
two
things
are
mutually
exclusive.
We've
made
great
progress
at
the
county.
We
didn't
used
to
have
body
cams.
Now
we
do,
we
didn't
used
to
require
implicit
bias
training.
Now
we
do.
We
didn't
used
to
have
civilian
oversight.
G
Now
we
do.
We
have
an
office
of
Correction
law
enforcement
monitoring.
We
didn't
used
to
think
we
could
sit
down
with
the
sheriff's
department
and
talk
about
use
of
force
protocols,
because
the
sheriff's,
an
independently
elected
official,
but
now
we've
had
those
hard
conversations
and
made
some
progress.
I
suspect.
Most
of
you
will
know
from
what
you
saw
on
TV
or
read
in
the
newspaper
online.
Ultimately,
the
prior
Sheriff
was
found
by
a
jury
of
12
folks
to
have
engaged
in
six
acts
that
were
deemed
to
be
willful
or
correct
misconduct.
G
That
meant
she
lost
her
job.
It
was
a
bit
of
a
moot
point
because
she
had
already
resigned
an
anticipation
of
that.
We
have
a
newly
elected
sheriff
and
we're
having
those
conversations
now
about
how
we
can
go
forward
and
and
make
sure
that
his
Department
the
office
of
the
sheriff
does
the
work
that
it
does,
both
in
the
jails
and
out
in
the
community
in
a
better
way,
while
still
keeping
us
all
safe
lots
of
other
things
to
talk
about,
including
the
Social
Services
office,
which
we
were
able
to
keep
here
in
Mountain.
G
View
I'm,
going
to
close
here,
because
I
think
my
five
minutes
has
long
since
come
and
gone.
But
I
I
got
on
a
bit
of
a
roll
about
this
at
a
board
meeting
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
because
and
I'm
sorry,
councilmember
I
know
you've
heard
this
before.
But
there
is
this
perception
that
there's
no
need
in
the
north
county
and
it's
a
misperception
that
we
struggle
with
and
I
know
that
our
area
is
more
prosperous
than
other
parts
of
the
county.
G
Finally,
just
said
you
know,
if
it's
the
policy
of
our
County
to
gentrify
my
district,
then
you
know
say
so
out
loud
and,
as
you
can
imagine,
that
was
not
altogether
well
received
by
all
parties,
but
it
certainly
generated
a
lively
conversation.
I
thought
it
was
an
important
conversation.
It's
the
reason.
You
know
people
say
really.
What's
this
thing,
you
have
about
keeping
a
Social
Services
Agency
the
welfare
office
in
Mountain
View,
and
the
answer
is
that's
how
we
maintain
some
semblance
of
economic
diversity
in
our
community.
G
One
of
my
priorities
for
the
next
two
years
is
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
that
office
here
in
Mountain
View
or
as
close
as
close
as
we
possibly
can
to
make
sure
that
it's
readily
accessible
to
people
in
need
in
the
north
county,
who
are
still
hanging
on
as
best
they
can
and
with
that
I
will
say.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
run
over.
What
I
know
is
my
allotted
five
minutes
and
thank
you
for
all
the
collaboration
cooperation
as
I
said
at
the
outset.
We
it's
harder.
G
A
H
Great
thank
you
mayor,
well,
I'm,
sorry
to
have
you
stand
up,
then
sit
back
down
and
stand
up
again.
Supervisor
committee
and
but
I
do
have
some
questions
for
you,
but
first
and
I'm
saying
this
not
because
you're
my
former
boss,
but
because
of
the
collaboration
we've
had,
which
is
just
to
thank
you,
you're,
always
thinking
about
the
north
county,
you're
thinking
about
District,
Five
and
making
sure
that
we
are
the
diverse
place
that
you
grew
up
in
that
I
grew
up
in
and
it's
it's
really
heartening
to
hear
about
everything.
H
I
was
feverishly,
taking
notes
to
just
keep
track
of
everything,
but
something
that's
top
of
mind
and
wonderful
that
we
have
our
legislative
consultant
here
is
the
cares
court?
It's
something
I
know
in
particular,
you
know.
Csac,
the
the
California
cities
has
been
looking
at
much
talked
about
by
the
governor
I.
Think
your
experience
from
the
local
level
to
your
time
in
the
state.
It
would
be
helpful
to
hear
your
thoughts
on
it
and
how
we
might
tackle
that
side
of
things.
H
G
The
terminology
that
I
suspect
many
of
you
have
heard,
but
that
you
know
a
lot
of
folks
in
the
public.
Just
look
at
me
like
what
are
you
talking
about
is
Continuum
of
Care
and
because,
if
you
talk
about
this,
then
people
say
well
what
about
that?
And
if
you
talk
about
that
people
say
what
about
this,
and
the
answer
is
sort
of
it's
an
all
all
of
the
above
proposition.
You
need
to
have
a
range
of
programs
and
services
to
address
the
very
wide-ranging
set
of
needs
that
are
out
there
across
different
communities.
G
Different
age
groups,
so
on
care,
Court,
I,
would
say
too
soon
to
say
and
I'm
really
not
duck
in
here.
It's
just
that
I
think
right
now,
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
to
Define.
What
care
court
is
can
be
should
be
will
be.
I
can
tell
you
at
the
local
level
folks
around
on
the
state
in
the
various
58
counties
are
always
anxious,
and
this
continues
to
be
the
case
about.
Will
the
funding
be
there
to
match
the
expectations
and
or
the
mandates?
G
So
that's
kind
of
the
question
of
the
moment.
I
should
say
because
it
may
have
gone
unnoticed.
We
had
a
decision
to
make
it
within
the
last
year
or
a
year
and
a
half
about
whether
or
not
we
were
going
to
opt
in
to
Laura's
law,
because
Laura's
law
has
some
overlap
with
the
notion
of
a
care.
Court
Lord's
law
is
the
sort
of
colloquial
term
for
what's
known
as
assisted
Outpatient
Treatment.
G
It
was
very
controversial
back
in
2002,
irony
of
ironies,
I
voted
for
it
as
a
first
term
assembly
member
on
the
floor
of
the
assembly
and
I.
Remember
the
controversy,
because
it
was
about
essentially
compelling
folks
through
the
judicial
process,
to
get
help
if
they
were
unwilling
to
get
the
help,
and
there
were
civil
liberties
issues
that
were
very
important
and
the
way
that
issue
got
addressed
at
the
time
was
to
say.
G
Laura's
law
will
only
apply
in
any
given
County.
If
the
county
opts
in
for
20
years,
most
counties
did
not
opt
in
and
then
over
time
people
began
to
say
you
know
what
done
right.
This
could
be
a
real
help
to
folks
who
simply
cannot
process
the
fact
that
they
need
help.
It
can
be
a
tool
that
friends
and
family
can
use
to
get
someone
the
help
that
they
need
and
deserve.
G
When
we
looked
at
it
a
couple
years
ago,
the
law
had
changed
and
the
law
now
says
that
if
you
don't
opt
in,
you
have
to
formally
opt
out,
and
you
have
to
explain
why.
In
an
open
and
public
board
meeting
our
County
staff
came
to
the
health
and
Hospital
committee
on
which
I
sit
as
chair
and
supervisor.
Otto
Lee
sits
his
vice
chair
and
said.
We
don't
think
you
should
opt
in.
G
We
want
you
to
opt
out
supervisor,
Lee
and
I
said
we're
not
sure
we're
prepared
to
accept
that
recommendation
from
staff,
and
we
had
a
special
hearing
to
hear
from
other
counties
in
the
Bay
Area
who
had
had
a
good
experience.
Ultimately,
our
County
made
the
decision
on
the
recommendation
from
our
committee
supervisor,
Lee
and
I
made
the
recommendation
that
we
should
opt
in
to
Laura's
law.
It
is
now
in
place
in
Santa,
Clara
County.
G
It
is
not
a
cure-all,
it's
for
relatively
small
number
of
folks
and
the
reason
I'm
giving
you
such
detail
is
because
it's
really
the
thing
that
is
sort
of
most
closely
associated
with
what
we
think
care
Court
might
look
like
as
it
develops.
I
think
there
are
possibilities
for
what
I'll
call
particularly
challenging
cases,
but
I
also
think
people
need
to
be
realistic
about
the
fact
that
it's
not
a
big
picture
cure-all.
It's
for
some
very
tough
to
handle
cases
where
folks
just
aren't
accessing
the
care
that
they
probably
could
and
should.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
that's
informative
and
then
my
second
and
last
question
is
related
to
homelessness.
We
know
that
the
county
point
in
time
homeless,
count
is
coming
up
and
given
what
you've
seen
you
might
you
know
you
were
mentioning
covid
what
other
things
that
the
city
can
think
about
or
any
like
Lessons
Learned
in
terms
of
making
sure
we're
getting
the
correct
Outreach
for
that
count?.
G
G
When
I
came
back
on
the
Board
of
Supervisors
in
2013,
the
plan
was
to
demolish
the
only
shelter
serving
the
North
County
area,
which
was
actually
in
Sunnyvale
in
my
colleague's
district,
and
it
was
the
Sunnyvale
shelter
the
Armory
that
used
to
accommodate
about
125
folks
during
just
the
four
months
of
the
cold
weather
season.
I
came
back
in
2013
and
said
well,
okay,
but
what's
going
to
replace
that,
and
the
answer
was
there
is
no
plan
to
replace
it
and
I
said
well.
G
G
G
But
in
the
meantime,
where
those
125
people
going
to
put
their
heads
down
and
I
let
a
year
year
and
a
year
and
a
quarter
go
by
and
sure
enough
it
got
knocked
down.
The
shelter
did
and
then
sure
enough.
There
wasn't
a
place
for
those
folks
to
go
and
sure
enough.
The
point
in
time
count
showed
that
there
was
about
125
new
unsheltered
folks
in
the
north
county
and
so
I
went
to
our
board
in
2014
and
said
we
need
a
replacement
and
the
first
year
we
couldn't
find
a
replacement.
G
So
we
kind
of
cobbled
together
a
program
the
next
year
we
literally
used
modulars
Portables,
like
you,
see
at
a
lot
of
our
schools,
but
you
know
larger
and
that
worked
for
a
season
and
then,
ultimately,
we
found
a
site
in
Hamlin
Court
in
Sunnyvale
that
could
accommodate
125
folks
and
I'll.
Now
speed
it
up.
G
G
I
also
know
we
can't
let
it
go
so
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
be
thinking
about
both
of
those
possibilities,
and
you
know:
we've
partnered,
together
on
safe
parking,
we've
partnered
together
on
the
marvelous
small
shelter
we
have
at
Trinity
at
the
corner
of
Hope
and
mercy
that
serves
single
women
and
families
with
kids,
because
this
is
the
other
thing.
I
would
say,
as
an
exhortation
is
there's
a
range
of
needs
and
when
people
talk
about
the
unsheltered
community
or
the
homeless
Community,
as
if
it's
a
monolith,
just
dead
bang
wrong.
G
So
you
got
to
ask
yourself:
how
do
we
respond
to
the
very
different
sets
of
circumstances?
This
one
may
have
just
said.
You
know
what
I
can't
hang
on
in
a
tough
economy
anymore.
This
one
may
say:
I
just
lost
my
job
and
I
need
some
time
to
get
squared
away
again.
Somebody
else
may
be
fleeing
domestic
violence
in
their
home.
That's
a
different!
G
All
of
these
are
different
sets
of
circumstances,
and
you
got
to
have
a
range
of
Solutions
in
my
experience
over
the
years
that
that
responds
to
the
range
of
needs
and
gives
people
an
option
that
works
for
them.
It
is
not
the
one
size
fits
all
that
would
make
our
lives
so
much
easier,
but
just
isn't
consistent
with
facts
on
the
ground.
A
J
G
I
think
the
question
is:
what
would
the
sustainability
office
want
to
be
when
it
grows
up
and
I
don't
mean
that
flipping
leg
or
dismissively
I
just
mean
I?
Think
that
has
been
a
struggle
for
the
past
decade
that
I
have
been
on
the
Board
of
Supervisors.
Again
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
and
have
done
as
a
county.
G
You
know
that
you
mentioned
a
principle
among
them
the
Silicon
Valley
clean
energy
effort.
The
county
was
a
charter
member
I
was
a
charter
board
member
at
fit
nicely
with
the
work
I
had
done
at
the
state
level
as
an
advocate
for
renewable
energy,
but
for
better
or
worse,
a
lot
of
these
decisions
get
made
at
the
state
and
federal
level
in
terms
of
policy
decisions.
G
That
being
said,
you
know
at
a
minimum
what
every
local
government,
including
counties
and
cities,
can
do
is
model
the
behavior
we'd
like
to
see
so
you
know,
I
know,
you've
had
the
Lively
conversation
about
reach
codes
and
so
have
we,
but
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
land
use
patterns.
In
my
my
view,
in
terms
of
work
that
we
can
do
at
the
local
level,
so
when
we're
having
the
conversation
about
Stanford,
land
use
or
Lehigh,
you
know
it's
got
to
be
a
sustainability
conversation
as
well.
G
As
you
know,
an
old-fashioned
assessment
of
you
know.
Did
we
check
the
boxes
on
the
SQL
form
correctly
and
then
I
think
there's
a
question
that
still
hasn't
been
answered
over
the
years,
which
is:
are
there
other
ways
the
county
could
and
should
lead
and
I
think
that's
still
to
be
determined,
but
you
know
the
use
of
renewable
energy
for
our
facilities.
You
know
things
that
are
sort
of
everyday
in
pedestrian
to
the
members
of
the
public,
perhaps
but
you
know,
use
of
native
plants
and
drought,
resistant
or
drought,
tolerant
plants.
G
K
Well,
I'm
not
really
going
to
ask
you
a
question
I'm
just
going
to
basically
thank
you
and
following
up
on
what
council
member
Abby
kogi
said,
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
the
office
of
sustainability.
Yes,
there
have
been
some
growing
pains
and
it's
a
very
complex
subject,
and
that
makes
sense
that
it
would
take
quite
a
bit
of
thought
to
figure
out
what's
really
appropriate,
but
I
would
have
to
say
that
over
the
time
it
has
been
in
service
it
has.
K
It
has
functioned
as
a
convener
on
a
wide
range
of
topics
that
some
of
which
they
haven't
had
a
chance
to
follow
through
yet,
but
that
convening
function
is
is
not
to
be
sneezed
at.
It's
it's
important,
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that,
and
also
again
for
your
assistance
with
our
safe
parking.
You
know
by
giving
us
the
use
of
the
county
waiver
we've
been
able
to
have
the
24
7
safe
parking,
and
that
has
turned
out
to
be
very
helpful
for
our
community.
K
L
Thank
you,
I
also
want
to
thank
you.
I
feel,
like
I
was
sitting
here
just
kind
of
riveted
by
all
the
great
work
that
it
you've
done.
That
update
was
fabulous.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
thank
you
for
everything.
You've
done,
as
has
been
said,
for
North
County,
as
well
as
the
city
of
Mountain
View.
Greatly
appreciated.
L
You
know,
I
think
the
the
tweaks
they're,
basically
just
little
tweaks
in
the
whole
scheme
of
things
are,
you
know,
I'm,
very
supportive
of
them,
so
I
think
it's
going
well.
It
feels
good
to
have
it
so
organized
and
I
feel
like
we're
able
to
have
more
of
an
impact
now.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
this.
J
Yes,
thank
you,
I
wanted
to
comment
on
our
legislative
platform
and
thank
you
to
Steph
and
thank
you
Dane.
It's
great
to
see
you
in
person
here.
I
too
appreciate
the
the
additions.
The
revisions
I
did
have
a
couple
of
I
guess
I'll
come
questions,
but
they
may
end
up
being
statements.
So
I
think
this
would
be
on
page
five
number
four
is
where
I
was
just.
J
Maybe
we
insert
but,
as
you
know,
probably
know,
there's
an
effort
now
at
the
regional
level,
for
a
Regional,
Housing
Bond
measure,
Buffa
Bay,
Area,
Housing
and
Finance
Authority
at
mtca
bag
is
rent
working
on
that
I'm
on
that
committee,
and
one
issue
that
has
come
up.
I
guess
before
we
go
into
an
actual
Bond
measure,
is
the
lowering
of
the
thrust
threshold
of
passage
of
these
types
of
bond
measures.
I
know,
there's
been
attempts
in
the
past.
J
J
Of
my
colleagues,
but
include
that
item
as
and
I
was
going
to
suggest
it
being
under
number
four
on
page
five.
The
second
item
I-
and
this
is
more
of
a
question-
is
on
page
five
item.
Six
there's
mention
of
a
hundred
percent
replacement
requirement
on
these
are
for
affordable
units
that
will
be
demolished
or
for
due
to
Redevelopment
I
can't
remember,
but
I
thought
we
were
going
to
have
a
presentation
or
study
session
eventually
about
this
and
I
think
it's
under
the
displacement
strategies,
but
there's
you
know
been
questioned.
J
A
Just
to
clarify
I
was
going
to
take
questions
and
comments
overall
comments
first
and
then
move
into
asking
the
question
about
any
any
changes
to
the
modifications,
additions
or
removals
from
the
legislative
platform
seems
like.
Maybe
we
flowed
into
that
a
little
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
is
that
was
your
last
one
a
question
or
is
fine
to
flow
into
that,
but
was
your
I
guess
a
statement
about
the
replacement
requirements
and
whether
they're
feasible?
Do
you
want
somebody
to
answer
that.
J
Yes
or
okay,
so
yes,
so
if
someone
staff
could
remind
me
where
we
were
on
that
analyzes
if
I
had
the
with
my
recollection,
is
correct
on
that
and
if
we've
done
that
and
it's
I
don't
think
it's
been
presented
to
us.
But
you
know
if
it's
already
been
done
by
staff
and
they
think
that
they're
confident
in
this
100
replacement
requirement.
I
could
go
with
that.
But
I
would
actually
prefer
to
see
that
analysis
before
we
make
that
concrete
statement.
O
J
A
A
P
You
mayor
and
I
so
I
have
some
suggestions
too,
but
I'll
hold
off
on
that
for
the
next
round.
But
first,
echoing
all
of
my
comments,
thank
you
supervisor
submittian
for
your
presentation.
The
only
thing
I
would
request
or
suggest
is
if,
if
there
are
opportunities
for
the
council
to
assist
you
in
your
work,
especially
in
preserving
any
existing
County
facilities
or
services
or
expanding
them,
you
know
if
there
are
opportunities
for
the
council
and
our
staff
to
assist.
P
Please
let
us
know,
because
we
don't
know
what
we
don't
know
and
I
think
you've
done
a
phenomenal
job,
expanding
Services
in
North,
County
and
then
I.
Having
served
as
mayor
during
the
inaugural
year
for
this
program,
I
found
generally
everything
worked
quite
well.
I,
don't
really
have
so
by
councilmember
matacek
had
said
I
I,
don't
have
any
major
revisions
to
suggest,
but
in
terms
of
process
there
were
a
couple
of
opportunities
where
I'm
not
sure
I
felt
totally
comfortable
taking
a
position
on
behalf
of
the
full
Council.
P
There
are
two
bills
that
in
particular,
I
think
there
might
be
many
different
perspectives
on
right.
The
Berman
Bill
related
to
VTA
governance-
that's
one
where
you
know
it
might
be
better
for
the
full
Council
to
discuss
how
best
to
take
a
position,
because
there
are
many
different
ways
of
doing
that,
and
then
I
think
there
was
an
opportunity
to
send
a
letter
related
to
AB
2011
and
that's
another
one
where
I
think
there
there
could
be
many
different
perspectives
and
so
not
really
within
the
scope
of
this
item.
P
But
I
would
suggest
that
we
think
about
some
kind
of
procedural
or
process
element
where,
if
there
are
big
ticket
items
where
we
can
reasonably
anticipate
many
different
perspectives
on
the
council,
if
the
policy
document
or
the
platform
doesn't,
you
know,
doesn't
provide
total
Clarity
on
the
count,
the
the
position
of
the
council,
it
would
be
nice
to
do
a
check-in
right.
Is
there
a
subcommittee?
We
could
turn
to?
Can
you
put
it
before
the
council
as
a
consent
item,
but
that
that
rarely
happened?
Those
were
the
only
two
bills.
P
I
think
that
were
both
pretty
high
profile.
Where
you
know
personally,
I
feel
like
there
was
some
Merit
in
going
back
to
the
council
for
a
little
bit
more
guidance
and
then
related
to
that
I.
I
I,
don't
care
what
position
we
take
on
for
most
bills,
that
are
that
are
introduced
by
legislators
who
do
not
represent
Mountain
View,
but
I
feel
that
there
is
a
special
consideration
when
we're
when
we're,
especially
for
a
posey
to
Bill
that
one
of
our
Representatives
has
introduced
and
again
I.
P
Don't
have
great
ideas
for
how
to
have
to
introduce
that
sensitivity
in
our
in
our
own
approach.
But
it's
a
big
deal.
You
know
for
us
to
go
and
say
you
know:
Senator
Becker
assembly,
member
Berman.
We
don't
like
your
bill,
here's
why
that
might
be
one
where.
Similarly,
one
might
be
good
to
go
to
the
council
and
sort
of
discuss,
hearing
staff's
perspective,
and
you
know
your
perspective
as
the
legislative
Advocate.
Here's
why
it's
really
important
that
we
take
this
position
and
we
go
in
Eyes,
Wide
Open.
P
Knowing
that
it
might,
you
know,
rub
some
people
the
wrong
way,
but
at
the
very
least
you
know
giving
some
some
special
consideration
or
special
attention
to
bills
that
are
controversial.
That
you
know
would
have
a
major
impact
on
Mountain
View,
but
are
introduced
by
our
own
legislators.
Where
we
don't.
You
know
you
know
we
might
have
to
be
careful.
P
You
know
we're
opposing
you
now,
but
tomorrow
we're
going
to
come
to
you
for
money
right
or
come
to
you
with
a
different
ask,
and
and
appreciating
that
it's
the
same
person
and
you
know
they
might-
they
might
remember
the
conversation
we
had
the
previous
day.
So
some
some
things
I'd
like
to
think
about
that.
Don't
have
good
answers
for
right
now,
but
beyond
that
overall
high
level,
I
don't
have
too
many
other
suggestions
other
than
one
revision
I'll
suggest
in
the
next
round.
Thank
you.
P
C
Q
H
Great,
thank
you
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
anything
to
add
for
the
next
question,
so
I'm
just
going
to
make
my
comments
now,
which
is
I
just
want
to
thank
staff.
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues,
we
kind
of
went
out
and
did
Something
New
by
trying
to
engage
with
a
legislative
consultant
and,
as
we
are
approaching,
I'm
thinking
what
is
it
year?
Two
I
see
the
value
as
we've
received
millions
of
dollars,
both
from
the
state.
H
You
know,
via
Senator
Becker,
for
Lot
12
or
as
Nicholas
was
mentioning
from
congresswoman
eschu
from
federal
funds
and
being
able
to
have
those
relationships.
I
I
think
that
that's
really
important
and
what
I
have
found
too
is
our
consultant
is
very
open
to
the
feedback
that
we
provide
and
I
think
that
is
from
my
experience
on
the
cities.
Association
for
Santa
Clara
County
I
sit
on
the
legislative
action
committee.
We
see
various
bills
and
being
able
to
cross-reference
the
city's
positions
on
certain
significant
bills.
H
Is
council,
member
Ramirez
said
and
where
they
may
have
alignment.
It's
nice
to
be
able
to
know
our
position,
have
the
background
on
the
bills
and
go
into
these
meetings
prepared
and
I
know,
as
councilman
Broadway
Koga
gets
ready
to
take
the
home
and
be
president
of
cities.
Association
that'll,
be
even
of
more
value
and
I'm
really
grateful
that
we
have
our
consultant
there
to
be
able
to
do
that.
H
H
That
would
be
my
hope
and,
and
so
I
think
that
was
was
difficult
because
there
were
many
different
implications
on
on
bills
and
I
know
that
there's
discussion
about
working
with
our
current
delegation
to
run
bills
together
and
to
address
the
needs
and
the
issues
in
our
community
together,
so
I
don't
feel
like
it.
It's
like
us
Amadeus.
Sometimes
we
have
differing
opinions,
but
we're
all
invested
in
what's
best
for
the
residents
and
the
rest,
the
best
for
Mountain
View,
so
I
think
it's.
H
H
And
this
platform
is
a
way
for
us
to
be
more
on
the
same
page
and
I
see
this
as
the
vehicle
to
be
able
to
do
that
in
an
open
and
public
process,
and
that
this
is
the
opportunity
for
us
to
voice
the
concerns
and
our
suggestions
and
and
have
that
relationship
continue,
but
but
I
like
that.
We're
able
to
air
things
transparently.
So
thank
you.
A
K
Yeah
I
I
serve
on
the
national
league
of
cities
EE
and
our
committee
policy
committee,
the
energy
environment
and
natural
resources
committee
and
I
have
just
wanted
to
comment
that
I
have
found
this
document
our
document
very
valuable
and
supporting
the
policy
making
at
NLC
and
comparing
you
know
how
they,
how
they
work
together.
So
my
question
is:
how
how
do
our
consultant,
you
use
those
policies
that
from
NLC
do
you
find
them
valuable
or
do
you
engage
with
them.
D
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
Showalter,
so
now
we'll
be
moving
into
unless
I
have
additional
people
with
comments
and
questions
will
be
moving
to
have
each
council
member
answer
the
following
question
for
staff
and
the
question
is:
are
there
any
policy
issues,
priorities
or
policy
statements?
The
council
would
like
to
discuss,
seek
further
clarification
on
modify,
add
or
remove
from
the
proposed
2023
legislative
platform
and
I
will
be
taking
notes
and
at
the
end,
as
taking
straw
polls
to
see
which
of
these
items
will
move
forward.
A
J
Is
this
the
time
to
bring
back
the
two
items
so
again,
just
reiterating
the
100
replacement
of
affordable
units?
I
would
like
to
get
the
analysis
before
we
make
that
statement
and
then
the
second
was
adding
a
statement
about
supporting
lowering
the
threshold
to
passing
on
measures
such
as
ones
related
to
affordable
housing
and
then
I'm
sorry
I'm
going
to
go
backwards.
Q
J
N
J
So
I
I
know
it's
more
work,
but
I
think
it
is
really
important
to
do
that.
So
that
would
be
my
request
is
that
we
try
to
start
scheduling
those
meetings
with
legislators
again
and
and
I
would
I'll
say
you
know,
that's
as
president
of
the
city's
Association
this
year,
we're
trying
to
get
back
to
business
as
usual
and
and
that's
a
piece
that
I
want
to
reinstate
with
the
cities
Association
as
well
and
I
will
say
and
I
agree
with
councilmember
comeys
comments.
You've
been
a
great
help.
N
J
Is
you
know,
Mountain
View's
position
or
having
a
vote
and
not
knowing
what
our
position
was,
and
so
now,
with
this
background
and
research
and
actually
even
having
positions,
it's
put
us
in
a
different
place
and
I
actually
see
us.
You
know
we've
thank
you.
We
will
be
having
Dane
at
our
next
cities
association
meeting
in
February
to
provide
us
an
update
or
a
preview
of
what
to
expect
at
the
state
legislation,
legislature
and
and
that's
what
other
cities
are
actually
looking
for
like
we
are
now.
J
J
We
do
have
a
legislative
subcommittee
and
might
be
something
we
want
to
look
at
adding
a
council
subcommittee
on
legislation
now
that
we
have
Dane
and
staff
to
help
us
with
this,
and
you
know,
I
think
it
is
helpful
at
least
to
meet
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
to
go
over
the
legislation.
That's
being
introduced
come
up
with
ideas
for
legislation
we
might
want
to
propose.
You
know
at
the
end
of
the
year
for
the
next
term.
A
Okay,
just
for
clarification,
I've
noted
three
things
that
you've
said
the
item
on
displacement.
Is
it
fun
to
say
that
you
we
leave
it
in
there,
but
it's
only
if
it's
found
feasible
after
the
displacement?
Okay,
because
that's
and
then
I've
added
the
additional
item
on
Council
subcommittee
on
the
legislation
and.
P
P
If
there's
an
opportunity
and
I
think
part
of
that
discussion
was
there
was
a
response
in
the
staff
report
that
provided
some
of
the
state
requirements
for
for
child
care
that
often
have
the
unintended
consequence
of
making
it
very
difficult
to
provide
child
care
in
urban
settings,
and
so
it
would
be
I,
don't
know
what
language
to
propose
but
advocate
for
changes
in
in
state
law.
That
would
make
it
easier
to
provide
child
care.
P
You
know,
and
maybe
thinking
about
different
standards
that
would
apply
to
in
environment
like
like
Mountain
View
and
then
the
other
idea
of
which
may
not
even
need
direction.
One
thing
that
so
we
have
a
deficit
at
the
state
level
that
we're
contending
with,
and
also
enormous
amounts
of
money
coming
from
the
federal
government.
That
I
think
we
we're
doing
doing
our
best
to
stay
on
top
of
and
trying
to
take
advantage
of
and
I
guess.
P
I
guess
for
staff
to
evaluate
whether
evaluate
so
we
have
I'm
presuming
I,
think
the
the
staff
responds
to
one
of
the
council
questions
about
grants
and
earmarks
says
you
know
the
that
rppt
has
been
very
helpful
in
securing
some
of
those
funding
opportunities
and
it
would
be
helpful
for,
for
me,
I'll
speak
for
myself
to
know
whether
you
have
capacity
to
to
continue
that
and
then
expand
it
to
to
look
at.
You
know
the
inflation
reduction
act
or
bipartisan
infrastructure
law
opportunities
tons
of
money.
P
A
R
C
I,
just
isn't
a
response
to
councilmember
Ramirez,
we
do
receive
grants,
support
from
rppg,
and
so
we
are
actively
working
with
their
Grant
manager
to
identify
a
potential
funding
opportunities
that
align
with
Council
city
council
priorities,
and
so
we
do
meet
monthly
with
them
as
well
as
receive
grant
opportunities.
And
we
will
share
that
with
staff
and
we'll
work
with
staff
to
assess
each
opportunity
to
see
if
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
apply.
But
thank
you
for
your
comments
and
your
feedback,
and
it
is
noted.
E
A
A
So
first
we
have
and
the
the
makers
of
the
comments
can
modify
the
way.
I've
summed
it
up.
If
you
don't
like
the
way,
I'm
I'm
summarizing
your
comments,
so
the
first
one
is
regarding
the
Bay
Area
Housing,
Finance,
Authority,
Bond
and
I.
Don't
know
whether
you
also
intended
other
bonds
but
looking
into
whether
we
can
lower
the
threshold.
The
voter
threshold
for
passing
those
bonds
and
are
there
people
who
are
interested
in
that
seems
to
pass
unanimously.
A
Then
the
second
one
is
regarding
our
displacement
policy:
we're
we
are
pursuing
a
hundred
percent
replacement
requirement,
but
we
will
not
be
sure
if
this
is
feasible
or
not
until
we
review
the
displacement
item
as
a
council
agenda
item.
So
this
is
to
the
comment
here
is
to
reword
this
to
say
that
we
will
do
it
if
we
find
it
feasible.
When
that
agenda
item
is,
is
reviewed,
council
members
can
I
see
a
straw
vote.
Q
A
A
A
Have
that
capacity,
I'm
satisfied?
Thank
you.
They
already
got
okay,
that
one's
achieved.
The
next
one
is
to
advocate
for
changes
in
state
law
regarding
child
care
settings
so
that
possibly
it
will
be.
It
will
be
more
possible
to
provide
child
care
in
urban
settings.
Who
agrees
would
like
to
explore
that?
A
Okay
and
then
the
last
one
is,
is
reviewing
the
possibly
changing
looking
into
changing
the
assessment
after
tenant
improvements
and
facade
improvements,
the
tax
assessment
to
see
whether
there
can
be
any
changes
to
enable
small
businesses
to
thrive.
So
how
many
people
wanted
to
explore
that?
Okay,
so
staff
Do,
you
have
a
do.
You
have
good
notes
on
these
or
need
any
further
review.
We.
C
S

7
300
more,
are
shot
and
wounded,

February,
more
Americans
are
killed
with
guns
than
are
killed
in
our
peer

in
an
entire
calendar
year

whereas
gun

View
and
the
community
Chris.
Would
you
like
to
say
a
few
words
thank.
T
T
Quick
trivia
is
when
I
first
learned
about
my
job
here
at
Mountain
View,
the
only
experience
I
had
was
attending
the
Moffett
Field
air
shows
as
a
little
boy
outside
of
that.
My
first
full-time
job
was
here
in
Mountain,
View
and
I
may
or
may
not
have
gotten
so
lost
on
training
that
I
ended
up
driving
by
the
airport
and
watching
a
737
take
off
only
for
the
training
officer
to
tell
me
there's
no
airports
in
Mountain
View,
so
fast
forward
a
few
decades
later.
T
The
best
way
I
can
summarize
this
is
all
of
the
planets
lining
up
all
the
planets,
meaning
a
community.
That's
just
loved
and
supported
our
Police
Department,
our
men
and
women
who
who
work
with
and
serve
every
day,
the
planets
of
being
paired
up
with
just
incredible
colleagues
on
the
department
head,
Team,
all
the
different
departments
that
just
work
together
all
the
time.
T
This
long
to
always
know
that,
there's
a
stable
love
and
and
support
at
home
for
no
matter
what
we
go
through
and
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
the
women
and
men
of
Mountain
View
PD,
who
make
it
their
passion
to
just
serve
every
day
this
community,
and
always
doing
a
little
bit
more
than
the
industry
standard,
calls
for
and
and
I
guess.
One
last
thing
is
just
the
mentors
that
come
before
me
that
have
helped
out
these.
These
accolades.
T
That
you
see
here
are
not
never
done
individually,
they're
always
done
as
a
team,
especially
calling
out
friends
and
mentors
like
future
interim
Chief,
Max
bozell
for
just
giving
us.
You
know
giving
me
the
the
leadership
Compass
of
knowing
you
know
the
direction
to
go
in
always
so.
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
vice
mayor
council
for
just
the
art
and
support
over
the
years
foreign.
A
Not
want
to
go
right
now,
I'm
going
to
give
I'm
going
to
give
council
members
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
both
of
the
presentations.
I
probably
should
have
done
one
at
a
time,
but
I
didn't
so,
if
you
want
to.
If
we
have
any
Council
comments
on
the
retirement
and
the
gun,
violence,
Proclamation
I
see
council
member
Abacoa.
J
Thank
you,
mayor,
I
will
start
with
thank
you
to
Rachel
and
Mom's
demand
action
for
being
here
today
to
accept
a
proclamation
that
is
unfortunate,
that
we
have
to
do
and
I
know
that
we
all
are
still
trying
to
process.
What's
what
happened
just
the
other
day
in
Half,
Moon,
Bay
and
Monterey
Park,
and
especially
at
this
time
during
Lunar
New
Year
for
the
API
Community,
it's
been
quite
devastating
and
and
we're
just
all
trying
to
reflect
on
that.
J
So
you
know
I
appreciate
this
Council
for
your
support
over
the
years
to
strengthen
our
gun
safety
ordinances
in
Mountain
View.
Clearly
we
have
so
much
more
work
to
do.
I
wish
the
rest
of
the
country
would
follow
along.
That's
the
bigger
challenge
in
the
uphill
battle,
but
I
I
appreciate
just
this
reminder
that
we
need
to
continue
to
to
fight
for,
for
gun
safety
and,
and-
and
you
know
we
just
can't
lose
one
more
life.
J
The
way
we
have
so
thank
you
Rachel
and
please
thank
your
organization
for
all
the
leadership
that
you've
taken
in
this
issue
and
then
for
Chief
Sean,
it's
with
a
heavy
heart.
Although
I
am
you
know,
definitely
congratulate
you
for
all
that
you've
accomplished
for
so
long.
You
know
when
I
I've
been
here
15
years
now
in
the
city,
the
city
staff
have
really
become
like
family.
To
me
and
Chris
is
someone
who
I
met
very
early
on
when
I.
J
We
were
rival
high
schools,
we
became
good
I
had
and
friends
and
and
and
it's
just
been
a
real
honor
to
watch
Chris's
development
here
in
Mountain,
View
and
ascending
to
Chief
has
just
been
a
real
source
of
Pride,
for
you
know
for
our
entire
community,
and
you
know,
I
will
note
too
for
the
Asian
aapi
Community.
He
was
one
of
13
aapi
chief
police
Chiefs
in
the
state
I
believe
so
a
real.
J
You
know
real
sense
of
achievement
coming
at
a
time
with
well
now
that
we've
experienced
the
last
three
years
with
covid
and
police
reform,
and
really
you
know,
probably
the
most
challenging
times
at
least
I've,
seen
and
and
Chris
has
really
led
the
organization
Department
with
such
Grace
and
thoughtfulness
and
and
real
leadership,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
you
Chris
for
all
that
you've
done.
We
wish
you
well,
you
know.
I
I
had
hoped
that
we'd
had
a
few
more
years
with
you
here,
but
my
plan
was.
J
We
were
going
to
go
out
together,
but
I'm
proud
that
I
was
able
to
install
you
as
the
chief
and
and
so
many
good
memories,
and
at
least
I
know
that
you'll
be
protecting
my
home
base
of
San
Mateo
County.
So
congratulations
on
your
new
adventures
and
thank
you
again
for
all
of
your
leadership
and
thank
you
to
the
entire
department.
All
of
you,
I
just
have
so
much
pride
for
our
organization
and
and
to
really
believe
you
guys
you
are
all
the
best
of
the
best.
Thank
you.
L
L
I
appreciate
all
that
you
have
done
for
Mountain,
View
and
for
the
police
department.
You
know
it
has
been
a
very
challenging
time
and
your
leadership
and
thoughtfulness
really
has
come
through
I
feel
like
yeah
all
the
best
in
your
new
role,
but
please
don't
forget
us
and
come
back
and
say:
hi
or
I'll
come
up
there
and
we
can
have
coffee.
So
all
the
best
to
you
and
thank
you
again
for
everything
you've
done
for
this
community.
H
You
well
first
I'd
like
to
thank
a
Mom's
demand
action.
As
councilman
Bobby
Koka
mentioned,
you
have
been
such
a
collaborator
as
we've
been
looking
to
take
the
lead
in
Mountain,
View,
related
to
to
gun
safety
and
addressing
gun,
violence
and
I
really
appreciate
how
accessible
you
all
are
and
I
think
you
vote
you
both
know.
I
recently
became
a
mom
and
there's
nothing
fiercerer
than
a
mama
bear
and
I
I
applaud
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done,
but
the
work
that
we
continue.
H
We
need
to
continue
to
do
because
it's
not
done
and
it
sometimes
feels
like
What's
it
gonna
take
it's
going
to
take
your
continued
passion
and
commitment.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
that.
Chief,
you
will
always
be
my
chief
to
me.
I
I,
want
to
say
that
we've
often
talked
about
the
city
of
Mountain
View
culture
and
how
unique
and
special
it
is
and
when
I
think
about
it
personified.
H
It's
you.
You
are
our
empathetic
compassionate
leader
who
has
changed
the
face
of
law
enforcement
in
our
city,
but
also
nationally
and
and
the
world
you
go
and
talk
at
these
conferences
globally.
I
know-
and
you
can
see
that
through
how
you've
been
able
to
I
think
Bridge
The
Divide
about
what
people
think
about
Public
Safety
police
I
know
that
when
we
met
a
decade
ago,
I
was
doing
fire.
Ops
I
was
doing
a
Citizens
Academy
in
a
city.
I
was
working
in
and
it
was
your
accessibility.
H
Your
willingness
to
answer
my
questions
doesn't
listen
to
me.
That
really
made
me
feel
empowered
to
do
things
with
the
Mountain
View,
Public,
Safety,
foundation
and
I
do
want
to
call
out
mvpdx,
which
I
think
has
been
a
really
great
community
resource
for
our
residents
in
terms
of
understanding
the
relationship
and
you
are
not
afraid
to
have
those
car
hard
conversations.
But
I
also
want
to
say
that
the
enthusiasm
that
you
bring
to
the
department
is
something
that
I
know
will
be
missed.
H
I
see
the
posts
and
I
I
softies
Boba
I
hope
that
that
tradition
continues
with
our
interim
Chief
bozell,
because
I
I
do
think
that
it
is
there's
the
heaviness
to
the
to
the
role.
But
we
also
need
to
have
the
the
moments
of
levity
and
you
were
able
to
bring
that
balance.
So,
for
that
I
am
eternally
grateful
to
you.
I
know
our
residents
are
and
congratulations
thanks.
P
To
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
evening
and
chief
shung
I'm
really
going
to
miss.
You
you've
been
a
tremendous
pleasure
to
work
with
very
responsive,
as
my
colleagues
have
said,
empathetic
compassionate
and
I
want
to
share
my
appreciation
for
you
for
working
with
the
Latino
Community,
the
Latino
Community
advisory
Council
on
the
faith,
faith,
community,
Leadership,
Council,
I've
heard
nothing
but
good
things.
You've
done
remarkable
work,
engaging
both
communities
and
pretty
close
to
both,
and
you
know
my
pastor
is
you
know
a
a
participant
in
the
Faith
Community,
Council
and
I.
P
Think
what
you've
helped
done
is
build
trust
with
communities
that
historically
may
not
always
have
had
strong
relationships
with
with
the
police
department
and
I'm,
really
grateful
to
you
for
for
making
the
effort,
especially
as
my
colleagues
have
said,
during
such
a
difficult
time
when
we
saw
the
erosion
of
trust
I
think,
but
in
Mountain
View
it
remains
strong
and
it
remains
drawn
because
of
your
leadership.
So
thank
you
and
I'm
hopeful
that
your
successor
will
continue
that
strong
tradition.
Thank
you.
K
Yeah,
it's
it's
hard
to
follow
all
of
those
after
all,
of
those
thoughts,
I
just
really
Echo.
What
has
been
said
previously,
but
I
I
also
think
it's
just
kind
of
ironic
tonight
that
we
have
two
presentations
and
really
in
a
sense
they
both
relate
to
guns
or
gun
organ.
You
know,
organizations
that
you
associate
with
guns
we're
we're
we're
thanking
the
the
moms-to-man
action
for
helping
us
to
reduce
gun
violence,
and
your
perseverance
is
so
so
vital.
K
K
Remember
when
we
were
working
on
developing
the
psab
learning
that
it
had
almost
been
19
years
since
a
Mountain
View
policeman
had
had
to
fire
a
gun
because,
besides
outside
of
training,
I,
don't
know
if
that's
still
true,
because
you
do
such
a
good
job
of
figuring
out
other
ways
to
to
de-escalate
situations
and
to
deal
with
safety
problems
that
we
have
and
I
think
that
our
I
know.
I
am
very
grateful
for
that
and
I
think
I
share
that
with
our
entire
community.
So
thank
you.
O
O
The
last
two
years.
I
really
do
feel
a
tremendous
amount
of
gratitude
and
appreciation
for
your
Council,
your
wisdom,
your
guidance
not
just
to
me,
but
to
your
peers
on
the
executive
team
and
to
the
entire
Mountain
View
Community.
You
will
be
missed.
You
are
a
son
of
Mountain
View
and
thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
done.
I
know
this
isn't
goodbye.
This
is
until
next
time
and
our
loss
is
San.
A
A
I
had
a
feeling
that
it
was
going
to
be
relevant
this
year,
although
I
truly
hoped
that
it
wouldn't
and
I.
You
know
again:
I
I
hope
that
this
is
the
last
time,
but
since
it's
probably
not,
we
all
have
to
continue
to
work
to.
You
know
reduce
the
likelihood
of
gun,
violence
and
then
Chris
the
first
time.
I,
remember
really
talking
to
you
was
right.
After
I
was
elected,
we
all
went
out
to
dinner.
A
You
know
those
dinners
where
you
don't
know
anybody
and
you
don't
know
who
you're
going
to
sit
next
to
and
I
sat
next
to
you-
and
you
told
me
multiple
stories
about
traveling
with
your
four
children.
I
think
it's
four
is
it
for
all
around
Europe
I
thought
that
was
pretty
bold,
because
I
would
not
take
my
two
children
around
Europe
when
they
were
that
age.
A
So
I
hope
you
with
this
I
hope
that
you
now
have
more
time
for
that,
among
other
things,
I'm
sure,
so
that
next
we
will
take
public
comment
for
the
presentation
items.
Would
any
members
of
the
public
joining
us
either
virtually
or
in
person
like
to
provide
comment
on
the
presentation
items
listed
on
the
agenda?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand
button
in
Zoom
or
submit
a
blue
speaker
card
to
the
city
clerk.
We
will
take
in
person.
Speakers
first.
V
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
and
Steve
members
city
council.
This
is
Peter
Capps
CEO
of
the
Mountain
View
Chamber
of
Commerce
I'm.
Not
quite
sure
this
is
the
right
place
for
public
comment
regarding
the
accommodation
for
Chiefs
young,
so
I'm
gonna
just
go
with
it.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
chamber,
we
wanted
to
congratulate
you
on
your
new
role
in
San
Mateo
and
thank
you
for
all.
V
You
have
done
for
the
community,
let
alone
for
the
chamber,
our
members
and
Leadership
Mountain
View
over
the
many
many
years,
whereas
we
speak
often
with
other
cities
and
business
communities
about
their
issues
with
the
police
force.
No
such
conversations
happen
here
in
Mountain.
View
businesses
here
have
great
respect
and
gratitude
for
the
department
and
especially
its
compassion
for
our
most
vulnerable.
We
are
safer,
healthier
and
better
for
your
leadership
and
the
performance
of
your
team.
V
A
A
A
K
Now
yeah
I
would
just
like
to
comment
on
item
4.1
that
is
annual
Water
and
Sewer
main
Replacements.
That
isn't
something
that
a
lot
of
people
think
about,
but
it's
very
important
for
making
sure
that
we
have
a
clean
water
supply
that
is
delivered
to
all
of
our
various
houses
and
businesses,
and
so
that
our
you
know
our
waste
is
taken
to
where
it
needs
to
go
and
and
treated
carefully.
K
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
joining
us
virtually
or
in
person
like
to
provide
comment
on
any
item
on
the
consent
calendar?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
submit
a
blue
speaker
card
to
the
city
clerk
and
we
will
take
in-person
speakers.
First
I
see
no
speakers
either
in
person
or
virtually
so
now.
Actually
I'm
going
to
ask
the
city
manager.
Should
we
go
with
all
of
the
consent
items
or
do
the
pulled
one
first.
O
A
P
Thank
you
mayor.
The
goal
setting
subcommittee
had
a
very
lengthy
and
productive
conversation
about
this
item
on
the
whole
I
think
it's
very
good,
I
think
the
the
process
is
solid
and
and
support
I
support.
All
of
the
the
recommendations
I
do
want
to
make
one
tweak
and,
after
speaking
with
the
city
manager,
it
does
require
Council
Direction,
and
it
relates
to
the
first
response
in
the
staff
responses
to
council
questions
on
this
item.
P
One
of
the
evaluation,
a
Criterion
that
is
proposed,
is
to
determine
whether
any
proposed
projects
help
Advance
the
council's
Strategic
priorities,
which
is
perfectly
consistent
with
I,
think
the
intent
of
goal
setting
I
was
wondering
if
we
could
tweak
that
or
maybe
add
a
separate
Criterion.
That
would
evaluate
whether
the
proposed
project
helps
Advance
other
existing
work
plans
or
initiatives.
P
We
may
want
to
propose
projects
that
that
help
Advance
those
goals,
and
it
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
know
if
a
proposed
project
does
happen
to
help
us
achieve
a
previously
approved
goal
or
objective,
and
so
I
was
hoping
that
we
can
include
adding
a
Criterion
that
staff
would
would
would
reference
as
part
of
the
evaluation
of
of
the
projects
when,
when
we
start
proposing
them,
that
would
look
at
that.
You
know.
Q
A
Q
A
Okay,
so
next
we'll
move
to
item
five,
which
is
oral
Communications.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
reserved
for
persons
wishing
to
address
the
council
in
any
manner
not
on
the
agenda.
Speakers
are
allowed
to
speak
on
any
topic
for
up
to
three
minutes
during
this
section.
State
law
prohibits
the
council
from
acting
on
non-agenda
items.
If
you'd
like
to
speak
on
this
item
in
person
or
the
next
section
of
items
listed
under
new
business,
please
submit
a
blue
speaker
card
to
the
city
clerk
now.
A
U
Okay,
thanks
on
Thursday
May
26
2022
MVP
D
received
a
9-1-1
call
from
Shelby
Garrison
VP
of
HR
at
Purcell,
my
former
employer,
Miss
Garrison,
went
on
a
rambling
discourse
about
supposed
problems
that
I
was
having
at
work.
The
911
dispatcher
interrupted
multiple
times
asked
why
Miss
Garrison
was
calling
9-1-1
Miss
Garrison
finally
invented
a
fiction
that
I
was
suicidal.
U
The
only
description
could
provide
the
911
operator
was
that
I?
Would
my
transgender
woman
cage
not
my
skin
color,
not
my
hair
color,
nor
any
other
physical
characteristics.
Simply
I
was
transgender
mvpd
had
a
choice
on
how
to
respond
and
VPD
chose
to
handcuff
me
leave
me
in
a
squad
car
for
several
minutes,
while
neighbors
could
see
me
being
detained,
and
then
transport
me
to
emergency
psych
services
they're
the
transporting
officer
misgendered
me.
U
In
spite
of
my
appearance,
my
government
identification
and
my
spouse's
reference
to
me
as
a
woman,
I
was
placed
involuntary
overnight
hold
forces
sleeping
on
recliner
in
a
room
with
the
lights
turned
on
full
forced
to
take
a
coveted
test.
I
was
billed
for
I
was
released
the
next
day
after
I
answered
six
simple
questions,
questions
that
mvpd
could
have
asked
and
saved
me
from
a
great
deal
of
trauma.
U
The
EPS
psychiatrist
at
this
point
asked.
Why
are
you
here?
My
answer
was
because
mvpd
demonstrated
by
their
actions
that
being
transgender
means,
I'm,
crazy,
Purcell
uses
involuntary
hold
that
mvpd
willingly
or
unwillingly
participated
in
as
part
of
her
sales
pretext
for
terminating
me,
I
have
a
separate
legal
action
with
them.
I
spent
all
summer
trying
to
deal
with
the
trauma
of
being
handcuffed,
detained
and
terminated,
because
of
who
I
am
not
because
of
my
actions.
U
U
U
city
of
Mountain,
View
attorney
denied
this
request
so
now
I'm
being
forced
to
pay
for
the
cost
of
my
imprisonment.
This
is
my
notice
until
I
find
the
the
paperwork
to
file
for
an
appeal
of
that
decision,
because
the
City
attorney,
like
all
lawyers,
will
concern
themselves
with
the
law,
but
never.
What
is
just
I
realize
that
you
cannot
take
action
on
this
issue
at
this
moment.
However,
please
do
I
genitize
this
item
as
soon
as
possible.
U
Q
A
A
A
X
Hi
yeah,
this
is
Megan
Fraley
I
am
a
mountain
view,
resident
I'm,
honestly,
just
speaking
kind
of
spur
of
the
moment.
I
cannot
remember
the
name
of
the
woman
who
just
spoke,
but
I
just
want
to
express
my
deepest
deepest
condolences
for
the
trauma
that
she
experienced
it.
The
5150
process
can
be
used
and
I
have
seen
it
used
as
kind
of
an
arm
of
different
institutions
and
as
a
way
to
like
discriminate.
X
So
I
don't
know
if
the
person
who
spoke
has
heard
of
the
Mountain
View
Coalition
for
police
reform
and
accountability,
my
name
is
Megan
Fraley.
My
email
is
Megan
Fraley
gmail.com.
If
there's
any
way,
I
can
be
a
listening
ear
or
in
any
way,
I.
Think
someone
just
messaged
me
that
your
name
was
Patrice
yeah.
X
If
there's
anything,
I
can
do
even
just
have
coffee
or
tea,
it
sounds
really
very
traumatic
and
I
would
just
like
to
provide
any
witnessing
I
can
and
since
this
is
not
just
since
it's
a
city
council
meeting,
this
is
actually
a
really
very,
very,
very
big
problem
in
terms
of
the
5150
process:
I'm,
a
clinical
psychologist
and
at
times
I.
Actually
have
to
use
the
process
as
much
as
I
can
in
an
ethical
way
when
there's
someone
truly
in
danger,
but
this
process
is
incredibly
traumatic
and
I.
X
It
actually
does
damage,
let
alone
having
it
be
used,
as
an
act
of
like
discrimination
is,
can
cause
lifelong
scars,
so
I
mean
yeah
I
think
it
would
be
really
great
if
there
is
some
way
on
a
city
level
to
actually
get
into
the
5150
process.
Maybe
it's
more
of
a
County
issue.
I,
don't
know,
but
anything
we
could
do
and
training
our
own
police
officers.
Perhaps
around
yeah
I
I
don't
have
the
solutions,
but
it
is
a
very,
very,
very
big
problem
and
it
does
deep
deep
damage.
A
Y
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
vice
mayor
and
members
of
council.
As
you
know,
this
meeting
before
you
or
excuse
me
this
item
before
you
this
evening
is
for
to
appoint
Max
bozell
as
interim
police
chief
earlier
this
evening,
Council
recognized
current
police
chief
Chris
Chang
for
his
service
to
Mountain
View
as
he
retires
next
month.
E
Y
Government
code
21221h
permits
city
council
to
appoint
a
Calpers
retired
annuitant
to
a
vacant
position
during
a
recruitment
with
several
restrictions,
which
include
that
the
interim
appointment
is
for
a
single
appointment
and
does
not
exceed
960
hours
in
a
fiscal
year.
The
proposed
interim
appointment
meets
the
Calpers
requirements.
Y
A
A
J
J
So
yes,
I
would
like
to
make
the
motion
to
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
appointing
Max
bazel
as
interim
police
chief
under
government
code,
section
21221
H
to
be
read
entitled
only
for
the
reading
wave
waved
and
I'd
just
like
to
note
that
despite
the
big
shoes
that
he
has
to
build,
I
think
he's
going
to
fill
them
just
fine
and
we're
very
fortunate
to
be
able
to
welcome
back
interim
police
chief
Max
basal
to
the
position.
And
thank
you
for
coming
out
of
retirement.
B
Builds
on
the
council's
January
5th
determination
to
pursue
the
appointment
process
to
fill
the
vacancy
that
was
created
by
Sally
lieber's
resignation,
the
city
clerk's
office
accepted
applications
until
January
18th
at
5,
PM
Tang,
completed
applications
were
submitted,
which
were
attached
to
this
report.
For
for
your
use,
three
things
that
we
really
need
from
the
council
this
evening
in
anticipation
of
your
January
30th
interviews,
are
to
one
determine
whether
you'll
interview
all
10
applicants
or
narrow
that
pool.
B
If
the
council
chooses
to
narrow
the
pool
staff
has
proposed
a
path
forward
for
that
or
the
council
can
choose
another
method
to
tackle
that
the
other
two
things
would
be
to
finalize
the
questions
for
the
January
30th
interviews
and
then
final
is
the
amount
of
time
that
will
be
allotted
either
to
each
question
or
each
applicant
from
response
to
all
questions.
That's
just
the
brief
overview
that
I
wanted
to
give,
and
obviously
city
manager
and
City
attorney
and
I
are
available
for
questions.
A
Z
Z
But,
just
like
my
team
I
believe
that
there
is
a
member
of
our
our
community
that
deserves
just
that
chance
in
Council,
and
that
is
Emily
Ramos
Emily
Ramos
has
shown
time
and
time
again
has
even
been
the
biggest
reason
why
I
even
moved
to
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
and
why
this
city
is
cherished,
what
can
be
done
in
this
community
and
how
we
can
build
a
community
of
belonging,
so
I
hope
in
this
process.
You
consider
Emily
Ramos
for
the
appointment
of
city
council.
Thank
you.
AA
Yeah
I
can't
lower
and
raise
my
hand
so
weird
being
in
person.
Hi
everybody,
Alex,
Brown,
santiagoville,
neighbors
Association
remind
people
Home
Alliance.
Other
groups
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
and
the
public
know
that
you
know
for
this
process
we're
hoping
to
have
a
community
Forum
on
Friday.
We've
got
it
scheduled.
I,
actually
think
all
of
you
at
this
point

registered
Maybe

view
it
afterwards
we're
gonna.
AA
You
know
let
the
community
interview
ever
that
all
the
applicants
to
get
through
tonight.
First,
if
that's
all
10,
it's
going
to
be
busy
if
it's
fewer
than
that,
then
we'll
have
more
time
to
answer
questions
from
various
Community
groups:
mountain
people,
Home,
Alliance
level,
Mountain,
View,
Mountain,
View
streets
for
all
Green
Space,
Mountain
View.
So
many
more,
if
you
want,
if
anyone
wants
to
register

versions
of

Mountain
View
voice
article,

got
a
link.
AA
AB
Greetings
all
I
I,
just
I
learned
a
lot
in
the
discussion
on
the
fifth
and
one
thing
that
really
stood
out
was
the
the
decision
to
do
the
appointment
process
was
that
was
worrying
about
sort
of
disenfranchising,
historically
marginalized
groups,
with
due
to
low
voter
turnout,
less
than
50
percent
of
the
electorate.
Generally.
So,
just
as
a
principal
for
your
discussions
tonight
and
next
Monday
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
the
need
to
sort
of
focus
on
or
to
respect
the
will
of
the
voters.
AB
In
terms
of
the
last
time
that
people
had
to
say
it
during
the
election,
which
was
Sally
Lieber
seat.
Now,
people
elected
someone
who
had
that
so
I
hope
that
you'll
consider
someone
whose
values
align
with
Sally's
as
as
a
kind
of
guiding
principle
as
you
work
through
the
process
tonight
and
I'll
I'll,
just
Echo
what
was
said
earlier,
like
I
I,
would
love
to
see
Emily
on
I
I'm
active,
pretty
much
in
a
lot
of
City
things.
AB
One
place
that
I
actually
haven't
put
too
much
of
my
time,
because
we
all
only
have
so
much
capacity.
Is
the
rental
housing
committee,
because
I've
known
that
Emily
is
a
strong
advocate
for
rental
protections
and
and
tenants?
So
that's
that's
something
I've
always
appreciated,
knowing
that
that's
there
and
I
I
think
some
of
the
values
that
made
me
vote
for
Sally
also
I
recognize
in
Emily.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
AC
Excellent
good
evening
to
The
Honorable,
mayor
and
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
Ryan
Globus
and
I'm
I'm
asking
you
tonight
to
if,
if
you
narrow
down
the
list
of
candidates
for
next
week,
I
ask
that
you,
please
include
Emily
Ramos
in
next
week's
meeting
and
ultimately,
a
pointer
to
the
vacancy
Emily
is
an
intelligent
and
experienced
collaborative
and
kind
person.
I
met
Emily
six
years
ago
when
I
joined
the
Silicon
Valley,
young,
Democrats
and
I
was
sort
of
unsure
of
how
to
make
a
difference
locally.
AC
As
you
all
know,
the
issues
that
Mountain
View
faces
can't
be
solved
by
one
person
or
even
one
body
or
agency,
and
that
the
city
needs
to
collaborate
with
the
county.
The
state,
the
federal
government
and
the
community
on
the
ground
and
I've
seen
her
work
firsthand
with
the
community
on
the
ground,
myself
included
and
I
was
not
at
all
surprised
when
she's
face
recognition
from
State
leaders
like
state
senator
Becker,
as
well
as
support
from
federal
elected
officials
like
congresswoman
eshu.
AC
M
Hello:
everyone,
my
name
is
Angel
Martinez
and
I'm.
A
student
Democrat
here,
counting
there's
nothing.
I
can
say
that
hasn't
already
been
said
about
Emily
Ramos,
but
as
past
president
of
the
Silicon
Valley
young
Democrats
I
believe
that
she
is
the
most
qualified
individual
that
can
be
appointed
to
the
Mountain
View
city
council.
I
urge
the
city
council
to
continue
pushing
their
name
forward
and
hopefully,
ultimately
ending
with
Emily
Ramos
being
appointed
city
council
for
the
city
of
Mountain
View.
Thank
you.
L
L
L
First,
one
is
what
are
your
top
priorities
and
how
would
you
get
them
tackled
or
how
would
they
get
tackled?
The
second
question:
are
there
any
issues
where
you
disagree
with
Council
Direction
and
what
would
you
change
and
I
think
that
one
is
fine,
I'm
very
interested
in
that
one
I'm
also
interested
in
number
three?
How
can
we
enhance
the
city's
livability
and
quality
of
life
for
our
residents
question
four
I
would
tweak
this
slightly
to
say
what
projects
on
the
current
Council
strategic
work
plan
are
important
to
you
and
why.
L
But
if
we
did
that's
such
a
a
big
question
that
I
think
I
would
break
it
into
pieces
and
personally
I'd
be
more
interested
in
just
hearing.
How
would
they
consider
public
comments
from
residents
and
then
question
six
I
would
make
a
minor
tweak
too.
What
efforts
that
we
are
not
already
doing.
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?
L
A
Maybe
I
will
summarize
those
oh
for
you
if
that's
okay,
so
you
want
to
delete
question
number.
One.
Keep
question
number
two
keep
question
number
three:
was
it
tweet
question
number
four
to
ask
about
projects
on
the
work
plan
what's
important
and
why
tweak
5
to
focus
on
how
you
would
consider
public
comments
from
rest
from
restaurants
from
residents,
keep
number
six
and
add
a
number
seven,
which
is?
How
would
you
quickly
come
up
to
speed?
Is
that.
L
L
L
L
I
guess
I,
don't
want
to
constrain
the
number
of
people
we
might
interview
at
the
beginning.
I'd
rather
see
how
much
support
there
is
and
then
interview
everyone
who
has
at
least
four
council
members
who
are
supportive
of
having
them
interview
with
us
and
I.
You
know
I
also
took
this
to
me.
You
know,
there's
no
cumulative
voting,
just
to
be
curable
clear
about
that.
Q
L
So
we
would
all
just
list
the
names
of
the
I
mean
we're
gonna
have
fewer
people.
If
we
narrow
it
down,
so
I
would
say
you
know.
Maybe
we
want
to
say
you
know
list
the
the
two
people
that
you're
interested
in
appointing
and
then
whichever
one
receives
the
most
void
votes
would
be
the
person
we
appoint.
K
Well,
thank
you
Lisa,
for
that.
I
really
appreciate
the
changes
that
you
made
to
the
questions
you
gave
that
a
lot
of
thought
and
I
think
those
are
good
I,
particularly
like
adding
in
the
closing
statement.
I
think
that's
always
a
good.
You
know.
I
mean
it's
good
to
give
the
person
the
person
a
sort
of
a
time
to
summarize
and
and
share
their
most
important
thoughts.
So
I
I
really
like
that,
but
I
have
a
different
take
on
the
process.
K
The
number
of
people
to
interview
in
the
process
I
think
we
should
interview.
Everybody,
I
mean
they're,
10
and
initially
it
was
success,
suggested
a
30
minute
interview,
I
think
with
10.
That's
too
much
I
think
we
should
have
them
be
20
minute
interviews,
but
I
think
you
can
still
have
a
good
interview
in
20
minutes
20
times.
10
is
200
minutes,
that's
about
three
and
a
half,
that's
about
three
and
a
half
hours,
not
quite
three
and
a
half
hours.
K
K
You
know
if
nobody
got
any
votes,
they
obviously
wouldn't
go
on
to
the
second
round,
or
perhaps
we
could
say
if
nobody
got,
you
know
three
votes.
They
wouldn't
go
on
to
the
second
round,
but
but
I
think
that
there
should
be
a
a
process
so
that
we
don't
just
vote
for
one
person
the
first
round
and
and
then
we
would
reduce
the
number.
Until
we
have
say
three
three
applicants
left
and
then
we
would
just
all
vote
for
one.
N
H
Try
to
keep
track
I,
don't
envy
you
mayor,
so
I
think,
let's
see
where
shall
I
start
so
I'll
start
with
my
feedback
for
the
questions
I've.
Given
it
a
lot
of
thought
and
I
have
thought
back
to
being
on
cart,
particularly
the
last
two
years
and
I
do
like
asking
some
sort
of
opening
type
question
and
some
closing
type
of
question,
because
I
think
we're
all
familiar
with
having
gone
through
the
electoral
process.
They
don't
just
ask
you
a
question.
They
do
allow
you
to
have
some
sort
of
opening
statement.
N
H
I
want
to
give
the
opportunity
so
I'm
comfortable.
You
know
keeping
question
one
I
do
want
to
hear
what
people
have
to
say
in
terms
of
what
they
are
thinking.
I,
don't
see
it
as
being
an
agenda,
but
I
I
want
people's
point
of
view
beyond
the
paper
application
which
we
received
or
the
electronic
version
and
I
think
that
could
be
an
opening
question
in
terms
of
giving
us
more
of
a
sense
of
who
the
applicant
is
I,
like
the
closing.
H
So
we
I
have
I
support
that
I.
Think
that
is
the
majority
of
my
comments
on
the
question
process
in
terms
of
the
criteria
process,
I'm
open
to
discussing
with
colleagues
more
where,
where
we
land,
I
I,
think
when
looking
at
the
10
applications,
I
thought
that
it
was
council's
opportunity
to
include
criteria
that
addresses
the
get
up
to
speed
question.
H
We
have
applicants
who
either
have
prior
elected
experience,
Who
currently
serve
on
a
border,
a
commission
which
I
feel
gives
them
a
familiarity
with
the
with
the
city
and
I
thought.
That
might
be
a
criteria
that
we
could
look
at
in
terms
of
experience
that
that's
brought
as
a
way
of
narrowing
in
the
pool
before
going
into
the
30th,
so
that
we
could
have
the
full
30
minutes.
H
I
do
not
want
to
feel
rushed
through
the
process
and
but
also
make
sure
that
we're
not
there
until
the
next
day
the
delicate
balance
so
I
think
in
when
we
had
the
robust
discussion
on
the
fifth.
Is
that
one
or
the
we
talked
about
getting
applications
as
quickly
as
possible?
I
think
so
we
could
review
them.
So
we
could
look
at
them.
I
know,
we've
all
done
that
so
I
thought
we
could
at
least
do
some
narrowing
tonight.
H
My
concern,
too,
is:
if
we
don't
do
some
sort
of
criteria
discussion
tonight
we
interview
potentially
10
people,
then
we
narrow
it
down
to
or
I
wasn't
sure
what
the
final
number
would
be.
Then
that
would
probably
be
a
discussion
of
the
four
and
then
we
would
do
a
final
narrowing.
So
this
sounds
like
it's
a
you
know:
yeah,
it's
a
long
and
lengthy
process
and
we
had
an
application
process
so
that
we
could
now
yeah
narrow
it
down.
H
Thank
you,
council,
member
of
it
and
or
at
least
that
that
was
the
discussion
that
I
left
our
prior
meeting.
When
we
discussed
this,
that's
the
impression
I
left
with
so
the
current
feedback
is
different
than
than
what
I
thought
we
had
discussed,
but
again
completely
open
to
to
the
rest
of
the
discussion,
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
the
clerk
mentioned
is
talking
about
a
time.
Perhaps
a
time
per
question
and
I
know
we
haven't
discussed
that
yet.
So,
if
potentially,
we
have
seven
questions,
you
know
was
it
three.
V
H
Each
five
minutes
each
I
think
we
as
a
council
need
to
decide
that
which
also
to
me
plays
into
how
many
people
should
we
interview
if
it's
five
minutes
times
seven
with
ten
applicants,
I'll,
let
council
member
Ramirez,
do
the
math
on
that.
So
I
I
just
want
us
to
fully
flesh
that
out,
because
I
do
think.
That
was
the
feedback
that
our
appointees
gave
us
from
from
the
prior
meeting.
Is
that
to
be
to
promote
the
transparency
is?
H
Have
the
full
discussion
go
before
going
into
third,
the
30th,
because
I
also
would
feel
personally.
I
would
feel
bad
if
we
had
10
people
go
in
and
then
the
first
thing
we
do
is
narrow
it
down
to
four
to
five
people,
and
they
have
they
go
into
that
30th
meeting
I
feel
like
that
would
be
much
more
difficult.
A
Thank
you
so
just
to
clarify
I'm,
letting
everybody
go
through
all
all
of
the
questions
at
once,
because,
as
you
said,
council
member
can
may
I
think
they're
related.
You
know
we
could
ask
people
to
respond
for
10
minutes
if
we
only
have
if
we
come
away
from
tonight
with
only
two
applicants
which
I
don't
think
they'll
do,
but
just
as
an
example,
if
we
have
all
10,
we
can
probably
questions
will
have
to
be
fewer,
so
so,
first
I'm
taking
an
overall
response
council
member
Abacoa.
J
Thank
you,
mayor
and
I
appreciate
the
comments
already
been
made
that
have
been
made.
I'll
start
with
the
questions,
I
really
appreciate
and
I
kind
of
count
on
councilmember
matacek
to
to
dig
deep
in
in
and
look
at
these
types
of
items
and
details.
So
I
really
appreciate
you
for
coming
up
with
your
suggestions
on
the
questions.
J
J
J
You
know
my
expectation
is
to
find
a
team
member
who's
going
to
help
us
get
through
that
strategic
plan.
I,
don't
really
expect
us
to
go.
You
know
completely
in
a
different
direction,
because,
frankly,
that
plan
was
delayed
with
covid,
and
so
we
have
a
lot
of
work
still
to
do
so.
You
know
I
I.
If
it's
priorities
within
and
I
think
that
question
comes
in
four,
you
know
what
are
the
items
on
the
Strategic
plan
that
are
important
to
you
to
me.
That
is
that's
really
more
important
to
me.
J
Closing
or
an
opening
statement,
but
if
it's
an
opening
statement
that
would
just
you
know,
help
the
inner
in
the
applicant
set
the
stage
we
can
flip
it
and
do
it
that
way.
But
I
don't
really
want
to
talk
about
new
priorities
in
this
situation,
and
you
know
if
someone
has
different
priorities.
There
welcome
to
run
in
next
year,
and
you
know
after
that.
So
that's
what
I
would
so
I
yeah
I
would
eliminate
one
I
like
adding
seven
five
is
interesting.
I
think
you
know,
because
we
do
so
much
land
use.
J
J
J
J
We
are
looking
for
certain
qualifications
and
so
in
light
of
that
I
think
the
application
was
the
real
first
cut
or
we
should
make
a
cut
from
there
and
interview
a
smaller
pool
and
I
was
thinking
of
you
know,
just
cutting
it
in
half
at
five.
So
four
to
five
four
to
six
four
minimum
five,
six
maximum
sounds
reasonable
to
me
and
yes,
I
think
San
Jose
did
it
where
you
had
to
have
so
many
votes
to
make
it
to
the
next
to
the
interview
round.
E
J
I
think,
but
you
know,
four
votes:
majority
votes
make
sense,
so
yeah
and
I
I
would
agree
three
and
a
half
hours
to
interview
and
then
deliberate
and
then
Whittle
down,
and
it's
not
going
to
be
three
and
a
half
hours,
we'd
be
looking
at
six
or
seven
hours.
I.
Think
and
I
do
want
to
be
mindful
that
we
are
doing
this
on
the
last
day
that
we're
allowed
to
do
this,
so
I
would
hope
that
we
can
do
it
before
midnight
and
make
our
deadline.
J
P
Thank
you
mayor
on
the
questions.
I
I'm
generally.
Supportive
of
the
modifications
that
have
been
proposed.
I
do
agree
with
council
member
command
council
member
matachek
about
having
some
high-level
introductory
statement,
and
it
could
be
framed
with
a
question
about
priorities
or
whatever
it
may
be,
but
in
an
opportunity
for
the
applicants
to
distinguish
themselves
in
some
ways.
P
P
P
Participate
in
that
process-
and
you
know
there
will
be
some
opportunity-
maybe
for
for
new
projects
but
I.
Think
most
of
this
of
this
of
the
discussion
will
be
challenging.
You
know,
and
getting
the
sense
of
here's
really
where
we
have
to
focus,
could
be
helpful
for
us
again
to
select
someone
who
is
likely
to
carry
forward
projects
that
we
think
are
are
really
the
top
priority.
P
P
Others
that
may
need
to
wait
for
a
future
goal.
Setting
cycle
I'm
comfortable
with
the
staff
recommendation
for
process
council
member
or
vice
mayor
Showalter
I
am
sympathetic
with
where
you're
coming
from
you
know,
I
think
you
know.
Ideally
it
would
be
nice
to
to
give
everyone
an
opportunity
to
again
differentiate
themselves
in
an
interview
process
could
be
really
powerful,
I'm,
not
sure,
there's
four
votes
for
for
interviewing
everybody.
P
I'm
not
opposed
to
it
personally,
but
I'm
I'm
recognizing
that
there's
a
time
constraint
and
you
know-
and
it
would
be
very
difficult
in
practice-
I
think
logistically
to
pull
it
off.
So
five
I
think
is
fine
and
one
of
one
of
the
things
I
appreciated
about
the
staff
recommendation
is,
it
would
likely
result
in
an
outcome
where
we're
not
prematurely
eliminating
viable
contenders.
I
think
there
are
some
there's
I
appreciate
everyone
who
has
applied.
Thank
you
for
doing
that.
P
P
There
are
folks
who
have
been
active
for
a
number
of
years
have
relevant
experience,
and
then
we
have
some
newcomers
right
who
I
think
are
saying:
I
have
an
interest
in
serving
my
community
and
that's
great,
but
I
think
what
we're
hearing
a
consensus
that
I'm
I'm
hearing
is
we're
looking
for
someone
who
who
doesn't
need
a
year
to
get
up
to
speed
and
I.
Think
five
is
a
good
number
for
us
to
get
the
five
folks.
You
know
I'm.
P
Six
is
okay
too,
but
really
five
people
who
are
distinguished
in
the
applications
by
virtue
of
highlighting
the
qualifications
and
experience
that
they
have
and
I
think
are
worthy
of
of
an
interview
because
they're
already
strong
candidates,
I
I,
don't
I,
just
I,
feel
uncomfortable
with
prematurely
eliminating
folks,
you
know
without
even
giving
them
the
benefit
of
an
interview
I.
So
in
San
Jose,
a
majority
was
not
required
to
ascend
to
the
interview.
It
was
I.
P
Think
four
votes,
four
out
of
nine
council
members,
I
I,
don't
feel
personally
a
strong
need
to
have
a
majority
to
advance
to
the
interviews.
I
think
the
top
five,
regardless
of
vote
is
fine.
You
don't
have
to
vote
for
the
folks
at
the
bottom
if
you
don't
want
to
on
June
30th,
but,
more
importantly,
I
think
you
know
my
suggestion
is
Staff
recommendation.
P
Does
a
good
job
of
making
sure
your
you
know
the
Stellar
contenders
that
the
top
choices
for
the
council
right
now
at
least
get
an
interview
and,
and
you
know,
prevents
challenging
scenarios
where
you
know
we
might
have
to
come
back
after
a
vote.
Finding
out
that
you
know
some
viable
contenders
maybe
were
left
out.
A
Thank
you
so
now
that
everyone's
spoken,
except
for
me,
I'm
I'm,
going
to
summarize
the
things
that
I've
heard
somewhat
of
a
consensus
on
so
the
first
is
that
I
heard
that
I
I
heard
one
two
three
four
out
of
five
council
members,
speaking
saying
that
we
should
narrow
the
field
tonight
and
I
agree
with
that.
Do
we
need
a
show
of
hands
just
to
make
sure
that
that
we're
on
a
show
of
hands
for
narrowing
the
field
a
little
tonight,
just
to
make
sure
I
heard
it
right?
Okay,
so.
A
The
first
tweak
I
heard.
We
have
the
process,
the
staff
recommended
says,
should
Council
wish
to
narrow
the
applicant
pool
for
interviews
a
proposed
process
could
be
each
council
member
would
write
down
their
choice
of
five
or
six
applicants
to
interview
or
another
specific
number
and
in
no
particular
order.
Council
member
matichek
said
four
to
six.
Applicants
to
interview
can
I
have
a
show
of
hands
for
that
modification.
A
A
So
the
next
process,
oh
well,
four
to
six!
Oh
you
wanted
specifically
five
okay,
you
didn't
win
that
Steph
says
five
or
six
anyway.
Those
votes
will
be
collected
and
the
city
clerk
will
publicly
announce
announce
council
members
votes
on
the
four
to
six
applicants
to
interview
I
guess
we
can
raise
our
hand
on
that,
although
nobody
has
suggested
any
changes,
but
just
to
confirm
that
the
votes
will
be
collected
and
the
city
clerk
will
publicly
announce
each
Council
member's
vote
tonight.
K
A
O
So
it's
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
you
all
would
vote
down
to
write
down
tonight
between
four
to
six
votes.
Then
those
will
be
tallied
up
tonight.
The
clerk
will
read
them
out
loud
and
then
people
who
have
at
least
four
votes
from
four
council
members
would
move
forward
to
the
interview
on
the
30th
yeah.
A
H
Yeah
I
just
wasn't
sure
if
based
on
which
way,
I
hadn't
I
wasn't
sure.
If
we
had
decided
on
the
questions
and
the
time
for
questions.
But
are
we
going
to
just
do
we're
going
to
do
our
selection
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
all
the
applicants
and
who
will
interview
first
and
then
we'll
Circle
back
to
the
question
part
and
because
I
know
there
was
some
wordsmithing
people
had
suggested
and
then
we'll
talk
about
time
after
we
vote
on
who
we
want
to
interview.
Yes,.
H
A
A
The
council
vacancy
applicant
selection
for
interview
form
that
we've
just
received
and
then
once
we
know
how
many
people
that's
going
to
be,
we
will
talk
about
the
remainder
of
the
questions
so
the
last
part,
the
last
part
of
our
process
for
narrowing
tonight,
is
that
the
votes
by
each
council
member
would
be
tallied
by
applicant
and
the
applicants
receiving
the
four
votes
or
more
would
be
put
through
to
interviews.
Do
people
agree
with
that.
K
Yeah
I
would
just
prefer
to
have
the
top
five
interviewed
the
people
who
get
the
most
top
five
well,
the
Thai
will
have
to
vote
again,
but
but
the
first
five
or
the
top
five
or
six
I
think
we
should
just
interview
this
idea
that
we
have
to.
Everybody
has
to
get
four
votes,
I'm,
not
sure
that
that
will
necessarily
play
out.
It
probably
will.
But
it
was
it's
simpler
if
it's
just
the
the
five
app
the
five
people
who
get
the
most
votes.
A
A
So
my
comments
were
just
that
I
agreed
with
people
that
I
thought
we
should
narrow
tonight
and
that
I
would
go
through
I
generally
agree
with
the
with
the
staff
process
and
I'm
open
to
tweaks,
and
then
I
started
taking
votes
on
the
tweaks.
So
here
we
are
so
I
guess
I'll
do
I'll
go
through
the
those.
Unless
there
are
further
modifications,
I
guess
we
see
now
why
we
need
an
additional
council
person,
so
I
will
get.
A
Are
there
additional
suggestions
and
I'll
just
go
through
the
voting
again
until
we
until
we
have
a
majority
or
we
have
additional
suggestions
for
how
to
move
forward?
So
we're
now
voting
on
the
votes
by
each
council.
Member
will
be
tallied
by
applicant
and
the
applicants
receiving
the
four
votes
or
more
would
be
put
through
to
interview.
We
vote
on
this
one
again
how
many
people
would
like
to
do
that.
Q
A
A
Q
A
A
A
So
I
see
no
additional
comments
so
for
question
number
one
I
heard
I
I
heard
that
people
would
like
an
opening
question.
I
heard
that
that
people
do
not
necessarily
want
to
a
list
of
top
priorities
that
were
not
on
the
Strategic
plan
and
there
was
one.
There
was
one
suggestion
that
that
the
opening
question
be
what
are
your
top
priorities
on
our
strategic
plan.
A
A
A
A
Okay
and
why
so
number
four
is
eliminated
and
number
five,
which
will
be
the
new
number
four
is
how
would
you
balance
well,
it
was
about
balancing
property
rights,
but
the
suggestion
was
to
simplify
it
to
how
would
you
consider?
How
would
you
consider
public
comments
from
residents
everybody
in
favor,
of
simplifying
it
to
that?
A
How
would
you
consider
public
comments
from
residents
yeah?
That
was
the
so
everybody
in
favor
of
that
one,
two,
three
they're,
four,
okay,
it's
simplified
number!
Six
is
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.
A
A
Yes,
okay,
so
we
have
questions
and
the
next.
There
were
some
comments
on
the
number
of
minutes
per
question.
Now
that
we
have
six
questions,
oh
you
don't
think
I
thought
that.
How
would
you
quickly
come
up
to
speed?
Was
the
closing
question.
You
want
you're
proposing
an
additional
closing
question.
Okay,.
A
H
X
H
P
I'm
inclined
to
agree
with
council
member
kame
I
think
that
the
the
question
that's
proposed,
I
think
is
at
least
similar
to
a
question
that
we
ask
of
our
EBC
applicants
and
I
think
there's
Merit
in
in
something
along
those
lines:
I
I
there.
There
are
land
use,
related
questions
in
the
application,
but
it
is
so
important
to
the
work
that
we
do.
I
feel
there's
value
in
in
continuing
to
press
on
that.
P
I
would
be
willing
to
I
didn't
vote
for
it,
but
a
majority
did
I
would
be
willing
to
eliminate
the
question
about.
How
would
you
come
up
to
speed
because
we
have
four
former
council
members
who
presumably
know
their
stuff
and
an
applicant
who
comes
to
basically
every
council
meeting,
so
I
I
mean
unless
there's
there's
value
to
having
that
question
that
I
haven't
thought
about.
That's
the
question
I'd
be
willing
to
to
replace
with
a
land
use
question.
H
I
I
wouldn't
do
that,
but
I
wanted
to
to
bring
forward
the
idea.
You
know
we've
been
looking
at
so
many
different
Master
plans.
We
are
asking
for
Community
Development,
open
space,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
different
directions.
We
can
go
obviously
our
sustainability
goals
as
well,
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
one
floating,
but
I
know
that
others
on
our
Council
can
have
strong
opinions
on.
You
know
how
we
might
tackle
a
question
like
that.
K
A
K
A
Okay,
so
let's
see
a
show
of
hands
for
for
eliminating.
How
do
you
quickly
come
up
to
speed
and
also
we're
eliminating?
How
would
you
consider
public
comments
from
residents
or
leaving
leaving
that
one
in
okay
and
replacing?
How
would
you
quickly
come
up
to
speed
with
how
do
you
consider
land
use?
What
criteria
do
you
use
to
consider
land
use
decisions,
all
those
in
favor?
Okay,
we've
got
that
okay,
so
we
have
our
questions
and
now
the
question
is
how
many
minutes
for
each
question.
J
And
it's
just
going
to
say
three
given
that
that's
what
we
give
you
know
every
member
of
the
public,
so
I
I,
having
listened
to
many
people
as
we
all
have
I've,
actually
come
to
appreciate
the
ability
of
folks
who
can
be
succinct
in
even
one
minute,
so
I,
don't
really
think
we
need
to
give
five
minutes
or
you
know
much
more
than
three
minutes.
I.
Think
three
minutes
is
actually
quite
sufficient.
A
K
Just
do
the
simple
math
we're
thinking
30,
you
know
30
minutes
and
we
have
seven
questions
right.
Well,
that
is
four
yeah.
So
four
minutes,
four
four
and
a
half
four
and
a
quarter
minutes.
So
four
minutes
or
three
minutes
three
and
a
half
minutes
or
or
just
let
it
float
basically
say
we
have
a
30
minute
interview
and
if
they
don't
answer
all
the
questions,
that's.
J
A
K
O
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
would
suggest
that
what
you
could
do
is
just
give
the
general
guidelines
at
the
beginning
and
everyone's
going
to
know,
there's
a
30-minute
interview
time
per
applicant,
which
is
generally
around
three
to
four
minutes
per
question,
but
you
also
have
to
time
their
opening
and
closing
some
people
will
talk
longer
on
their
closing.
Perhaps
some
people
might
be
shorter,
so
you
could
just
give
those
General
guidelines
now
oftentimes
in
interviews.
You
do
give
folks
a
warning,
let's
say
they're
only
on
question
two
and
they're
20
minutes
in
I.
O
Think
it's
perfectly
fine
to
say
you
know:
we've
only
gotten
through
two
questions.
There's
still,
you
know
five
questions
remaining
and
you
only
have
10
minutes
so
I
think
you
can
gauge
it
and
we
can
kind
of
keep
track
of
that
as
well.
But
if
you
give
people
that
General
guideline
from
the
beginning,
then
I
would
expect
that
they
would
try
to
adhere
to
that.
Like
three
minutes
per
question,
plus
they're
closing
thank.
A
You,
okay!
So
what
I'm
hearing
is
it's
an
estimate
of
roughly
three
minutes
per
question
that
we're
giving
each
applicant
30
minutes
that
we're
giving
them
the
questions
written
ahead
of
time
and
that
we
and
that
we
give
them
a
benchmark
when
they're
I'd
say
halfway
through
and
then
maybe
when
they
only
have
three
minutes
left
to
close
that
sound
good,
any
additional
comments,
all
those
in
favor,
okay,
okay,
so
we
have
our
process
the
do
we
need
to
refine.
Are
there
any
comments
on
refining
more
the?
A
O
A
P
P
So,
just
for
whatever
it's
worth,
I
I'm
a
little
bit
more
comfortable
with
an
iterative
process,
but
I'd
have
to
think
about
how
that
would
work
in
practice.
I
I
was
for
whatever
it's
worth.
We
did
approve
a
process
on
January
5th
and
it's
okay.
If
we
deviate
from
that,
but
that
was
sort
of
the
process.
I
was
up.
You
know,
assuming
that
we
would
go
into
January
30th
with.
Q
J
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
guess
my
recollection
from
the
fifth
was
that
we
were
going
to
decide
today
on
the
questions
in
the
process.
So
I
didn't
think
that
what
was
what
we
was
proposed
was
the
final
process
and
then
I
I
like
the
two,
because
you
know
what
I'm
looking
for
is
someone
that
hopefully
we
can
all
work
with,
and
so
my
my
sense
is
as
if
we
all
have
a
choice
of
two
there
can
there
will
be
someone
who
can
rise
to
the
Top
by
by.
J
Might
not
be
our
first
choice
could
be
our
second
choice.
That's
how
elections
are
run
right.
You
don't
have
to
be
everybody's
first
choice
if
there's
three
seats
or
four
seats,
and
that's
how
I'm
looking
at
this
as
well
is
that
we,
you
know
hopefully
there'll,
be
someone
who
we
most
of
us.
If
not
all
of
us
can,
you
know,
say
we're
comfortable
working
with.
So
that's
that's.
N
L
You
know
I
feel
like
by
after
reading
all
of
the
applications
and
interviewing
the
folks
I
think
we
should
have
a
pretty
good
idea
of
you
know
who
we
could
work
with
and
I'm.
Looking
at
this
thinking,
you
know
I
I'd
list
two
people
that
I
would
be
happy
if
either
one
were
appointed
that
I
could
work
with
either
one
of
them
I'm.
L
K
I
am
a
little
happier
with
the
three
idea.
This
is
a
very
important
decision
and
I.
Think
going
through
another
round
is
just
fine,
so
so
I'm
I'm
a
little
happier
with
the
three
and
and
the
criteria.
Could
we
all
work
with
I
mean
I
voted
yeah
I
think
that
people
were
interviewing,
we
I
mean
I,
have
knowledge
of
all
of
them.
I'm
quite
positive,
quite
quite
quite
sure
that
I
can
work
with
all
of
these
people.
So
that's
not
a
criteria
that
that's.
A
P
Two
or
three
in
the
first
round,
I'm
I'm,
not
not
as
wedded
to
so
much
as
having
an
opportunity
to
have
a
subsequent
round
of
voting
right.
So
if
we
pick
two
and
somebody
gets
all,
six
I
think
it's
very
clear
that
that
person
is
probably
our
winner,
I'm,
not
anticipating
that
I'm,
anticipating
some
some
messiness
in
the
outcome
and
I'm
I'm
thinking
even
with
with
two
a
subsequent
round,
would
would
be
helpful
in
in
identifying
who
the
consensus
pick
is
likely
to
be
right.
P
J
So
I
I
guess
I
see
it
as
the
consensus
candidate
could
come
out
of
that
vote
for
two.
So
again,
it's
like
we
all
you
know,
might
we'll
have
our
first
and
that's
probably
a
second
and
my
expectation
is
right.
Those
are
the
two
folks
that
we
feel
most
comfortable
working
with,
and
someone
could
very
well
come
out
with
at
least
a
majority
in
just
that
one
vote
for
two
folks,
so
it
might
not
be
your
Top
Choice
that
gets
in.
A
O
I
I
A
E
P
I
hadn't
thought
this
was
really
an
option
because
I
had
presumed.
We
had
selected
a
voting
process
so
I
I
guess
my
discomfort
is
not
having
really
had
an
opportunity
to
think
I
think
plays
out
where
I
had
sort
of
the
Assurance
of
a
process
that
staff
had
determined
earlier.
That
was
that
we
did
vote
on.
We
do
have
the
discretion
to
change
at
all.
I'll.
P
That
but
I
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
like
just
sort
of
creating
the
process
on
the
Fly.
You
know
what
I
mean
if
a
majority
supports,
whichever
you
know,
that's
that's:
okay,
but
I'm,
I'm,
more
comfortable
with
three
than
I
am
with
two
just
because
it
seems
to
be
more
likely
that
it'll
force
a
second
round
of
voting.
L
And
I
don't
feel
comfortable
with
that.
I
feel
like
I
would
prefer
to
be
more
intentional
about
who
we
select,
I
kind
of
feel
like
that
might
result
in
maybe
not
a
good
choice
from
all
of
our
perspectives.
I
would
like
to
go
back
to
the
original
proposal,
which
was
to
vote
for
two
and
whichever
applicant
gets.
The
most
votes
is
appointed
and
if
there's
a
tie,
then
we
take
another
vote.
H
May
thanks,
so
thank
you
for
navigating
this
discussion.
Mayor
I
I
find
that
it
would
be
of
use
to
me
for
the
council
to
be
able
to
discuss
the
applicants
and
we've
done
that
before.
For
example,
we
just
went
through
EPC
interviews
where
people
were
able
to
talk
about
the
applicants
and
what
they
were
looking
for.
H
K
I
I
I
just
would
have
to
disagree
with
the
city
attorney.
We
can
set
the
process
to
do
this
and
we
can
say
we
want
to
have
at
least
three
rounds
and
the
first
round
people
are
going
to
vote
for
three.
The
second
round,
the
you
know
the
top
continue
three
contenders
are
going
to
be
voted
on
and
you'll
get
to
vote
for
two
and
then
we'll
have
a
final
one.
We
can
set
that
there'll
be
that
number
of
rounds.
K
If
we
want,
we
can
say
that's
the
criteria
is,
is
the
rounds,
and
that
would
give
us
an
opportunity
to
have
the
discussion
that
council
member
kame
has
suggested
I.
Think
what's
more
likely
to
happen
is
that
we
will
have
several
people
who
get
six
and
then
well.
You
know
we'll
have
to
we'll
have
to
go
through
the
tie,
but
but
I
I
just
doing
the
math
quickly
in
my
head
with
this
I
I.
Don't
think
we
really
need
to
worry
too
much
about
this.
J
Q
J
N
J
That's
why
I'm
saying
let's
limit
it
to
two
and
the
dialogue
happens
after
we
do
the
interviews
we
can
all
talk
about.
You
know
who
our
preferences
are
and
why
and
what
not
and
then
we
just
pick
two
and
and
then
whoever
comes
out.
If
someone
comes
out
with
the
majority,
then
great.
If
not,
then
we
can
go
for
another
round.
But
if
we
do
three
and
there's
four
for
someone
who
gets
four
votes,
I
just
don't
see
the
necessity
of
voting
again
because
we
have
someone
who
has
the
majority
support
of
the
council.
J
I'm
trying
to
say
is
like
at
least
with
a
you
know:
two
choices.
Your
first
choice
might
not
get
it,
but
maybe
your
second
choice
will
and
we
can
get
to
that
consensus.
Candidate,
I,
think
more
quickly
and
I.
I
actually
think
that
we
could
end
up
with
someone
that
has
even
a
super
majority
of
support.
L
Thanks
I
guess
I
had
assumed.
We
would
have
a
discussion
about
the
candidates,
not
that
as
soon
as
we
finished
the
interviews
we
would
vote
I
think
one
of
the
things
I
appreciate
is
no
matter
what
the
topic
is
when
we
actually
have
a
discussion
about
it,
as
opposed
to
just
quickly
jumping
to
a
vote,
so
I
absolutely
would
support
I
kind
of
assumed.
We
would
have
a
discussion
about
the
candidates
and
then
do
the
vote,
because
it
is
helpful
to
hear
what
others
have
to
say.
L
A
So
I'm
hearing
that
we
will
do
the
interviews,
the
suggestion
being,
we
will
do
the
interviews,
then
we
will
discuss
the
interviews
and
then
we
will
vote
for
two
people
and
then,
if
those
two
people,
if
it
ends
up
tied,
we'll
take
a
second
vote
for
two
people.
Again
is
what
I'm
hearing
all
those
in
favor.
H
I
So
when
you
have
a
majority,
you
know
I
think
the
expectation
is
that
that
is
the
winning
person.
So
if
that's
not
going
to
be
it
I
think
you
should
be
very,
very
clear
what
it's
going
to
take
to
move
forward,
because
it
would
be
weird
to
go
through
the
process
and
then
get
to
the
end,
and
the
person
that
actually
gets
appointed
only
has
three
in
the
end
or
something
because
of
the
way
it
played
out.
You
forced
multiple
rounds.
I
So
that's
the
concern
that
I
have
I
I,
don't
know
mathematically
if
it
could
work
out
that
way.
But
it's
weird
to
have
someone
get
majority
and
then
the
winning
person
kind
of
not
be
there.
So
I
would
just
be
crystal
clear
on
what
it's
going
to
take
to
be
appointed.
If
it's,
you
know,
if
it's
all
six
of
you
coming
to
a
consensus,
eventually,
okay,.
H
H
So
at
least
we
get
a
sense
of
the
three
who
rise
to
the
top
and
then
I
because
I
and
then
because
it
sounds
like
the
round.
Situation
brings
up
a
multitude
of
issues.
So
perhaps
you
know
more
of
like
a
verbal
narrowing,
which
is
these
are
the
top
three
I'm
interested
in
given
the
five.
We
just
interviewed
discussion
of
council
sharing
of
perspectives,
and
then
we
vote
for
two
is
that
a
compromise
that
colleagues
might
be
interested
in
I
think
it
gets
at
the
heart
of
all
concerns.
A
P
P
P
Thank
you
and
then
I
I
think
I,
know
the
answer
to
this,
but
just
to
be
very
clear,
a
formal
motion
is
still
necessary
right.
So
the
the
conclu,
the
conclusion
of
the
voting
process
isn't
an
appointment.
There
would
have
to
be
a
motion.
A
second
we'd
have
to
say
you
know
somebody
moves
to
a
point
who
whoever
gets
whatever
the
majority
looks
like
yeah.
I
A
So
we
will
vote
on
I
think
it
was
Council
member's
recommended
process,
which
is
that
we
we
interview,
we
discuss
the
interview
and
one
of
the
points
of
discussion
of
the
interview
is
our
top
three
candidates.
Then
we
vote
for
our
top
two
with
the
process
that
we
use
tonight,
and
then
we
may
have
to
do
that
more
than
one
time,
but
the
winner
of
that
process.
We
will
have
a
resolution
and
have
have
somebody
appointed
that
night.
All
those
in
favor.
A
A
7.1
is
the
topic
General
plan
zoning
and
precise
plan
amendments
related
to
the
housing
element,
update
senior
planner,
Ellen
Yao
will
present
the
item
and
there
will
be
a
number
of
individuals
available
for
questions,
including
Eric
Anderson
from
Advanced
plan.
The
advanced
planning
manager,
RT
srivastava,
the
community
development
director
and
assistant
city
manager,
Jill,
I,
hope,
I'm
pronouncing
your
name
right:
Jill
fakemany,
managing
environmental
planner
Esa
and
participating
via
Zoom
Sandra,
Lee
senior
assistant,
City
attorney.
S
Good
evening,
council
members,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
The
item
before
you
tonight
I'll,
be
presenting
on
the
general
plan.
Zoning
and
precise
plan
amendments
for
the
housing
element
update
again.
My
name
is
Ellen
yaos
project
planner
and
I'm
joined
here
tonight
with
my
Advanced
planning
manager,
Eric
Anderson,
and
our
consultant,
who
is
available
on
Zoom.
S
At
the
March
8th
study
session,
the
city
council
supported
the
site's
inventory
methodology,
which
included
directing
staff
to
include
shopping
centers,
where
the
general
plan
already
allows
for
residential
and
at
the
June
14th
study
session.
The
city
council
supported
the
rezoning
strategy
for
the
journal
plan,
Village
centers
to
also
include
the
5767
East
Evelyn
avenue,
and
the
1010
Linda
Vista
Avenue
sites
and
the
El
Camino
Real
Village
Center
sites
and
to
establish
the
mixed-use
centers
standard
framework
to
ensure
commercial
uses
would
remain
on
those
sites
and
it
would
provide
open
areas.
S
So
the
three
amendments
to
address
the
council
direction
from
those
previous
study
sessions
number
one
is
to
prepare
zoning
amendments
to
the
R4
zoning
district
for
a
hundred,
a
hundred
percent,
affordable
housing
developments
and
the
site-specific
rezonings
for
the
housing
sites,
f57
67,
East
Evelyn
and
the
1110
Carabella
Avenue
site.
The
second
item
is
to
prepare
the
El
Camino
Real
precise
plan
amendments
to
eliminate
the
tier
2
overlay.
S
Zoning
requirements
for
residential
projects
with
far
that's
greater
than
1.85
and
then,
lastly,
to
prepare
zoning
and
precise
plan
amendments
at
the
shopping
centers
that
are
identified
in
the
general
plan
as
Village
centers.
This
is
to
allow
residential
uses,
require
neighborhood
commercial
uses
and
include
other
standards
for
development.
I
want
to
highlight,
specifically
the
last
two
items
are
to
address
state
law
requirements
to
bring
the
zoning
ordinance
in
alignment
with
what
is
allowed
in
the
existing
General
plan.
S
So
the
first
item
at
the
June
study
session,
Council
directed
staff
to
prepare
the
rezonings
for
these
two
pending
affordable
housing
development
projects
shown
on
the
screen.
This
will
streamline
the
approval
process,
which
will
allow
them
to
utilize
the
SB
35
approval
process
and
will
benefit
from
having
the
rezoning
environment
to
review
as
part
of
the
housing
elements
eir.
S
During
this
analysis,
one
of
the
Lots
1110
terabella
did
not
meet
the
requirements
for
rezoning
to
R4.
So,
as
you
can
see
on
the
slide
here,
the
changes
include
amending
the
zoning
code
to
eliminate
lot
area
and
lot
width
minimums
for
a
hundred
percent,
affordable
housing
developments
that
receive
funding
through
the
city's
notice
of
funding
availability,
nofa
process.
This
will
allow
for
more
flexibility
for
100,
affordable
housing
development
at
higher
densities.
On
these
smaller
sites.
S
The
second
change
will
be
to
the
general
plan:
land
use
designations
for
the
sites.
It
will
be
changed
to
the
high
density,
residential
designation
and
then
the
last
change
is
to
the
zoning.
Each
of
these
sites
will
change
from
industrial
to
high
density
residential,
so
the
EPC
also
recommended
the
staff
recommendation.
S
The
second
item
is
related
to
the
El
Camino
Real
precise
plan.
So
on
the
screen,
you
can
see
that
the
price
size
plan
has
specific
sub
areas
called
Village
centers.
These
areas
allow
for
additional
density
with
a
combination
of
required
ground
floor
commercial
and
these
areas
are
near
a
specific
VTA,
522
stops
and
other
major
intersections.
This
includes
the
intersections
of
San
Antonio
Road
showers,
drive
Escuela
Avenue
El
Monte
Avenue,
Castro
Street
and
Grant
Road.
S
So
this
just
shows
the
specific
locations
on
the
next
slide.
I'll
show
the
changes
to
the
El
Camino
Real
price,
precise
plan,
so
right
now
the
village
centers
they
require.
Specifically,
these
are
El
Camino,
Real,
Village
centers.
They
require
an
overlay
rezoning
process
to
reach
the
highest,
far
or
tier
2.
In
the
precise
plan,
however,
the
current
General
plan
already
allows
the
higher
far,
and
so
the
proposed
amendments
will
remove
the
tier
2
overlay
rezoning
requirement
for
residential
development
and
allow
for
that
higher
far
within
the
tier
one
approval
process.
S
S
This
change
does
not
alter
the
development
standard
for
Village
centers,
but
it
simply
modifies
as
the
approval
process
to
allow
for
residential
to
be
built
to
the
density
allowed
in
the
general
plan
without
the
rezoning
process
that's
required
in
tier
two,
so
this
is
in
compliance
with
the
housing
accountability
act
which
clarifies
that
if
zoning
standards
and
criteria
are
inconsistent
with
applicable,
objective
General
plan
standards
for
the
site,
the
Housing
Development
cannot
be
found
inconsistent
with
the
standards
and
criteria
of
the
zoning.
Further.
S
If
such
an
inconsistency
does
exist,
the
local
agency
may
not
require
rezoning
prior
to
the
Housing
Development
approval.
So
again,
this
is
Shifting
allowed
residential
in
the
general
plan
into
the
tier
one.
So
it
does
not
require
the
rezoning
process.
That's
currently
identified
in
the
El
Camino
Real
precise
plan,
so
the
tier
2
rezoning
overlay
requirements
will
still
continue
to
apply
but
for
non-residential
uses.
S
And
then
the
third
item
is
the
general
plan,
Village
centers,
so
Council
first
directed
staff
to
integrate
the
general
plan,
Village
centers
into
the
site's
inventory,
and
then
they
asked
to
propose
zoning
amendments
that
would
address
that
General
plan
policy
Direction
and
to
specifically
ensure
that
the
resident
residential
development
on
those
sites
would
provide
for
neighborhood
commercial
uses,
publicly
accessible,
open
spaces
and
also
consider
transitions
to
the
surrounding
residential
areas.
If
there
are
adjacent
residential
zones,
those
sites
again,
residential
development
is
allowed
on
these
sites.
S
and
I'll
go
over
some
of
that
in
the
next
couple
of
slides.
So
you
can
see
here
these
changes
that
we're
talking
about
to
the
general
plan
Village
centers.
They
are
located
throughout
the
city
they're
shown
on
the
map
and
in
this
table
the
general
plan.
Village
Center
sites
have
one
of
three
General
plan:
land
use
designations
and
you
can
see
in
the
table
here
they
are
the
neighborhood
mixed
use,
General
General,
mixed
use
or
mixed-used
Corridor.
S
S
So
to
avoid
changes
to
the
existing
districts
that
could
affect
existing
conforming
uses,
the
sites
are
not
actually
being
re-zoned.
Instead,
a
new
general
plan,
mixed-use
Village,
Center
development
land
use,
is
adjusted
into
the
zoning
ordinance,
and
so,
if
you
look
at
the
attachments,
you'll
see
that
the
specific
changes
are
to
the
zoning
ordinance
and
the
grant
Phyllis
precise
plan
to
allow
for
mixed-use
Village
centers
in
these
sites,
so
zoning
will
still
remain
as
commercial.
S
This
would
only
allow
the
land
use.
It
would
permit
residential,
specifically
only
on
these
commercial
districts,
for
these
Village
centers
identified
in
the
general
plan,
so
these
sites
will
maintain
their
commercial
zoning
and
development
following
the
commercial
development
of
commercial
uses
would
still
follow
the
commercial
development
standards
of
that
zone.
The
changes
that
we
are
making
specifically
to
residential
being
added
to
these
commercial
sites
so,
as
stated
earlier,
SB
330
prohibits
development
standards
that
reduces
residential
density.
S
Therefore,
the
standards
that
have
been
developed
with
that
in
mind
considers
the
goals
of
maintaining
neighborhood
commercial
and
providing
publicly
accessible
open
spaces.
So
on
this
chart
here
shown
on
the
slide,
we
use
the
El
Camino
Real
precise
plan,
highlighted
in
green
as
the
basis
for
development.
S
So
since
the
El
Camino
Real
precise
plan
right
now
doesn't
require
commercial,
the
changes
that
we're
listing
out
here
for
the
far
and
height
standards.
The
heights
will
be
increased
by
an
additional
story
to
accommodate
for
the
commercial
that
Council
directed
staff
to
have
in
these
General
plan.
Village
centers-
and
this
will
by
accommodating
for
that
additional
story.
This
wouldn't
reduce
the
residential
density
allowed
in
the
general
plan.
S
And
then,
on
this
slide,
we
highlight
the
other
standards
aside
from
far
and
height.
It
highlights
the
major
development
standards
that
are
related
to
The
mixed-use
Village
Center
developments,
and
they
are
more
specific
than
compared
to
the
El
Camino
Real
precise
plan
because
of
the
specific
goals
of
the
general
plan,
Village
Center
developments,
the
approval
process
for
these
projects
are
consistent
with
the
underlying
zoning
districts
or
the
precise
plan,
depending
on
which
site
we're
looking
at
and
to
highlight
this.
S
So
at
their
December
7th
7th
meeting,
the
EPC
recommended
allowing
exceptions
to
certain
standards
if
they
physically
constrain
the
residential
floor
area
allowed
in
the
general
plan
so
based
on
the
EPC
recommendation
and
the
public
comments
that
we've
received
staff
revised
the
amendments
to
the
zoning
ordinance
and
the
grant
Phyllis
precise
plan
to
allow
for
such
exceptions.
But
the
exceptions
are
limited
to
these
standards
that
are
shown
on
the
slide.
These
changes
are
reflected
in
the
Amendments
that
are
presented
to
council
tonight
and
attached
to
the
staff
report.
S
And
I'll
briefly
go
over
the
environmental
review.
The
eir
prepared
analyze
potential
physical
environmental
impacts.
This
eir
is
a
program
eir
and
does
not
provide
the
detailed
analysis
that
you
would
typically
see
on
a
project
level
eir.
Instead,
this
eir
discloses
potential
environmental
impacts
that
could
be
reasonably
anticipated
if
the
maximum
scenario
of
the
housing
elements
built
out
at
a
broad
scale.
S
When
each
project
comes
in
for
review,
they
will
be
assessed
to
determine
their
consistency
with
this
eir.
They
will
be
subject
to
the
mitigation
measures
identified
and
will
be
required
to
conduct
project-specific
environmental
analyzes
as
necessary.
This
eir
studied
both
the
draft
housing
element
update
and
then
these
specific
rezonings
that
you
are
considering
tonight,
the
eight
the
housing
element
is
anticipated
at
about
18
000
units
between
2021
and
2031.
S
There
were
several
impacts
that
were
identified
and
but
they
were
determined
that
mitigation
measures
would
reduce
the
impact
to
less
than
significant
I'm
going
to
highlight
that
there
was
one
significant
and
unavoidable
impact
related
to
air
quality
for
larger
development
projects.
But
again
this
captures
the
potential
for
a
variety
of
projects
that
could
come
in
through
the
housing
element
in
the
next
eight
years.
It
will
depend
on
the
size
of
the
project
the
length
of
construction
time,
and
because
this
is
a
program
eir,
it
kind
of
captures
all
potentiality.
S
So
it
is
likely
that
most
projects
would
not
exceed
any
of
these
significant
thresholds
and
that
the
identified
mitigated
mitigation
measures
will
reduce
the
number
of
cases
and
the
severity
of
impacts
of
air
pollutants.
As
you
can
see
on
this
slide,
I
also
highlight
this
short
schedule
that
we
went
through
public
review.
We
held
an
EPC
public
meeting
and
the
final
eir
was
published
on
November
4th.
S
So,
however,
so
since
the
publication
of
the
eir,
there
have
been
some
changes
to
the
housing
element,
we've
had
a
couple
of
study
sessions
in
between
as
well,
but
these
are
mainly
program
details.
Some
background,
analysis
and
site
inventory
changes
that
don't
materially
affect
the
analysis
and
the
final
conclusion
that
is
reflected
in
the
eir.
So
the
eepc
after
December
7th
meeting
was
able
to
recommend
certification
of
the
eir.
S
I'm
going
to
wrap
up
my
presentation
with
next
steps,
the
rezonings
presented
to
you
tonight.
They
are
required
to
be
approved
prior
to
the
start
of
the
sixth
plan,
six
cycle
planning
period,
which
begins
January
31st
of
this
year.
This
is
to
ensure
there
is
adequate
existing
sites
within
not
the
necessary
residential
zoning
to
accommodate
for
the
arena
and
that
the
additional
residential
capacity
is
captured
in
the
site's
inventory.
S
I'm
a
little
bit
of
schedule,
information
hcd
provided
comments
on
our
latest
draft.
Our
second
draft
on
January
17th
a
brief
overview.
Their
comments
do
relate
to
three
major
three
key
issues.
One
is
to
address
the
displace
potential
displacement
of
safe
parking
residents
when
the
site
at
87,
East
Evelyn
is
developed
with
affordable
housing
because
we
did
have
identified
that
as
a
housing
element
site.
S
A
You
thank
you
Miss
yeah,
so
now
is
I'm
going
to
ask
whether
any
members
of
council
have
questions
we
did
receive
a
lot
of
for
the
benefit
of
members
of
the
public
council
did
ask
a
lot
of
questions
in
written
form.
So
I,
don't
know
whether
we're
going
to
get
questions
now.
But
do
any
members
of
council
have
questions.
P
Thank
you,
mayor
I
have
mostly
clarifying
questions
based
on
the
staff
responses,
so
first,
thank
you.
There
were
a
lot
of
questions,
as
the
mayor
alluded
to,
and
the
responses
were
helpful
but
I.
Don't
think
I
understand
the
response
to
question
8
about
the
impact
of
the
need
for
second
readings
for
some
of
the
ordinances
and
then
how
that
ties
into
or
addressing
a
shortfall.
The
the
buffer
issue,
I've
read
through
it
a
couple
of
times
and
it
and
I
don't
think
it's
it's
quite
sinking
in.
N
AE
The
most
kind
of
relevant
to
this
discussion
is
that
you
can't
require
commercial
on
those
sites.
Now
it
in
several
of
the
areas
that
the
council's
focused
on
tonight,
including
the
El
Camino
Real,
Village
Center,
it's
the
general
plan,
Village
centers
in
Grant,
Park
Plaza.
The
general
plan,
as
well
as
Council,
have
expressed
interest
in.
AE
AE
Which
are
subject
to
Second
reading,
and
so
even
if
conservatively,
we
say
they
were
not
approved
or
in
place
that
zoning
wasn't
in
place
before
January
31st,
which
you
could
say
conservatively.
That's
only
82
units
that
we
would
need
to
exceed
in
our
buffer,
and
it
certainly
staff's
intention.
I
know
it's
council's
intention
to
adopt
a
housing
element
that
has
a
resilient
buffer
to
no
net
loss
and
82
units
at
less
than
two
percent
of
the
lower
income
sites.
Inventory
would.
AE
Than
our
intended
buffer
in
the
housing,
even
if
we
need
to
upon
further
review
identify,
you
know,
there's
a
shortfall
and
we
need
to
identify
additional
sites
for
rezoning,
we're
going
to
identify
more
than
82
units
rights,
just
because
it's
so
trivially
small
in
the
in
the
overall
inventory.
However,
the
El
Camino
Real
precise
plan
and
the
Grant
Park
Plaza
Village
Center
contribute
over
600
units.
That's
a
much
more
substantial
number
to
be
concerned
about
in
terms
of
meeting
that
buffer.
AE
P
P
You
know:
comply
with
shortfall,
requirements,
I,
don't
think
I,
fully
grasped,
grasped
but
I
think
I
do
now
and
then
really
the
only
two
that
have
any
time
urgency
are
the
El
Camino
Real
precise
plan
and
the
Grand
Park
Plaza
Village
Center,
and
because
those
don't
require
a
second
reading,
we're
we're.
Okay,
there
we
can
request,
require
a
commercial.
P
AE
The
way
the
guidelines
are
structured
or
the
way
the
the
term
guideline
is
structured
in
the
general
plan
is
that
you
would
need
to
identify
some
kind
of
policy
standard
or
public
benefit
in
order
to
exceed
it.
That's
the
language
in
the
in
the
general
plan.
So
without
that
we
would
apply,
you
know
without
the
the
a
an
adopted
standard
or
public
benefit,
we
would
apply
the
height
limit
in
the
general
plan.
Okay,.
E
AE
L
P
I
think
I
understand
that
too
there's
a
lot
of
complexity.
This
is
this
is
not
trivial
material
and
then
for
The
Moffat
Boulevard
area.
The
general
plan
allows
a
much
higher
far
than
what
the
zoning
prescribes
and
I'm
curious
to
understand.
What
what
does
that
mean?
If
there's
a
development
proposal
in
that
area,
do
the
standards
in
the
CRA
zoning
apply.
AE
L
Q
AE
Approved
on
Central
Avenue
in
CRA,
with
the
mixed-use
corridor
General
plan
designation,
we
applied
a
density
equivalent
in
1.85,
far
from
from
43
units
per
acre
up
to
that
density
equivalent
at
1.85
far
and
then
because
they
were
requesting
a
density
bonus.
We
went
through
the
kind
of
typical
waiver
process
for
what
what
Heights
they
needed
in
order
to
accommodate
that
density
and
setbacks.
P
And
then
sorry,
I
have
a
lot
of
questions.
The
I
I
appreciate
the
the
language
that
allows
for
waivers
in
the
event
that
the
standards
physically
preclude
the
construction
of
the
residential
floor
area
ratio
in
the
general
plan,
but
I'm
I,
I'm,
not
sure
I,
fully
understand
exactly
how
that
would
be
applied
objectively
right.
So
what
I
know
there
are
some
constraints
with
the
density
bonus
law
and
what
we
can
ask
for
right.
We
can't
ask
for
a
pro
forma,
for
instance,
I.
P
Don't
know
if
there's
a
relevance
here
to
that.
But
you
know
a
developer
comes
to
the
city
and
says
I
can't
build
the
project
I
want
because
of
the
restrictive
standards.
What
do
they
have
to
prove
to
you
to
get
waivers,
and
then
how
do
you
determine
which
waivers
are
applied?
Do
they
get
to
pick
or
does
the
city
get
to
impose
waivers?
AE
So
I
can
describe
the
typical
waiver
process
and
I.
This
is
a
distinction
this,
it's
not.
We
don't
want
to
create
Confusion
by
calling
them
waivers,
because
waivers
are
special
about
density
bonus.
So
we
do
call
them
exceptions,
because
the
exceptions
are
encoded
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
We
would
expect
that
a
developer
would
be
able
to
achieve
those
exceptions.
AE
AE
The
city
and
being
contextually
appropriate,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear
the.
What
would
the
the
typical
waiver
process
is
that
an
applicant
simply
shows
the
that
the
requested
waiver
has
a
relationship
or
a
Nexus
to
the
physical
size
of
the
building
and
that
the
amount
of
of
of
reduction
in
that
standard
is
proportional
or
related
to
the
actual
amount
of
additional
density.
That.
L
AE
It's
an
amount
of
floor
area
that
that
were
allowed
on
the
under
the
general
plan
and
and
that
kind
of
rationale
and
amount
of
floor
area
would
be,
you
know,
would
be
evaluated
for
its
relationship
to
the
physical.
You
know
the
the
physical
envelope
of
the
building
in
reality.
What's
probably
going
to
happen,
is
that
these
will
be
density.
G
P
It
I
think
part
of
the
value
in
eliminating
the
minimum
is
that
we
don't
have
R4
throughout
the
city
right.
In
order
for
there
to
be
additional
R4
zoning
districts,
the
council
would
have
to
affirmatively
allow
a
rezoning
I'd
have
to
go
through
the
gatekeeper
process
essentially,
and
it
allows
for
the
application
of
a
zoning
District
that
has
utility
and
that
it's
defined
we
don't
have
to
do
like
a
p
district
or
something
and
go
through
a
lot
of
work
and
creating
entirely
new
development
standards.
You
know
why.
P
Why
do
you
pick
one
acre
as
the
minimum
size?
What
would
be
wrong
with
half
an
acre
or
elimini,
eliminating
the
the
acreage
entirely
and
then
sharing
with
the
council
when
we
get
a
gatekeeper
proposal,
this
isn't
appropriate
because
the
there
are
you
know
so
many
variances
required
or
whatever
right
it's
it's.
It
would
be
an
extreme
deviation
from
the
zoning
District
to
the
point
that
we
couldn't
even
recommend
processing
the
application.
What
is
the
value
of
the
one
acre
minimum.
AF
and
even
60
would
have
been
hard
to
accommodate
on
a
one
acre
site
if
we
had
to
get
to
if
they
had
to
meet
all
of
the
requirements,
and
so
we
did.
These
test
fits
and
it's
very
common
in
zoning
districts
to
do
that,
because
what
you
don't
want
to
do
is
frustrate
the
applicant
by
implying
that
a
site
can
accommodate
it
and
then
they
go
through
this
whole
exercise,
and-
and
you
know
this
General
frustration
between
the
applicant
staff
and
the
community.
AF
P
But
we
have
examples
in
like
East,
wisman
and
North
Bayshore,
for
instance,
where
we
have
well
beyond
that
density
on
on
potentially
smaller
Acres,
right
or
smaller
parcels,
and
in
that
case
you
know,
we
I
guess
a
completely
different
set
of
development
standards,
but
higher
density
projects
can
be
done.
Parcels
smaller
than
one
acre
yeah.
AF
And
I
think
your
point
is
very
well
made.
East
Lisbon
has
a
different
set
of
standards
and
they
probably
went
through
the
modeling
to
determine
how
those
sites
could
accommodate
in
some
I
think
the
Assumption
might
have
been
made
that
there
would
be
some
site.
Aggregation
and
issuism
does
have
some
rather
large
sites.
P
AF
I
wanted
to
look
at
right
now.
R4
allows
80
units
to
the
acre
and,
yes,
the
site
minimum
is
is
one
acre
if
Council
wanted
to
look
at
allowing
these
on
half
acre
sites,
for
example,
we
might
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
densities
that
are
allowed
either
in
North
Bayshore
or
in
East
Lisbon,
to
see
like
we're
using
El
Camino
Real,
for
example,
for
our
village
centers.
L
Thank
you
on
the
topic
of
exceptions.
I
also
had
a
question
I
appreciate,
though,
that
the
state
density
bonus
law
comes
into
effect,
a
lot
of
times,
I
hadn't
thought
about
that.
But
on
page
10
of
the
presentation
and
actually
in
the
staff
report,
it
says
the
reduction
of
the
minimum
neighborhood
commercial
floor
area
and
ground
floor
building,
Frontage
storefront
to
50
percent
of
required.
N
L
L
L
L
AE
Bunch
of
fun
little
cleanup
items
of
which
that
is
one
of
them
I.
To
be
honest,
we
we
haven't
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
what
formed
the
standard
is
going
to
take.
We
have
to
dive
into
that,
but
we
know
and
we've
had
this
conversation
with
the
commission
on
several
occasions.
We
know
that
it's
a
requirement
we
want
to
just
make,
get
it
done
on
a
city-wide
basis,
so
that
we're
not
getting
this
this.
This
requirement
on
a
project
by
project
basis.
L
AE
Q
A
So
seeing
no
more
questions
so
seeing
no
more
questions
would
any
member
of
the
public
joining
us
virtually
or
in
person
like
to
provide
comment
on
any
item
on
the
consent,
not
the
consent.
Calendar
I,
don't
know
how
that
got
into
this
anyway.
Would
any
members
of
the
public
like
to
make
comments?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand
button
in
Zoom
or
submit
a
blue
speaker
card
to
the
city,
and
we
will
take
the
city.
Clerk
will
take
in-person
speakers
first
and
we
have
Kevin
Ma.
R
Evening
Council,
my
name
is
Kevin.
Ma
I
will
be
representing
the
League
of
Women
Voters.
Tonight
we
have
sent
a
letter
about
this
topic.
We
do
support
the
rezonings
for
the
affordable
housing
projects,
as
this
would
make
them
zoning
compliant
and
therefore
allow
sp-35
to
be
used
to
reduce
everyone's
time
money
and
answered
me.
We
are
behind
the
R4
amendments.
We
do
agree
that
the
minimum
lot
area
and
width
requirements
seems
arbitrary,
given
really
in
our
appendix
to
a
letter.
R
There's
not
many
R4
parcels
and
other
requirements
ready
to
make
market
rate
development
on
those
Parcels
infeasible
with
that
with
even
without
the
requirement
and
to
correct
the
bid
on
the
slides
it.
The
rezoning,
the
lifting
of
the
requirements,
would
only
be
possible
for
projects
that
go
through
the
notebook
process
and
receive
funding
through
it,
so
for
all
affordable
projects
that
don't
go
through
nofa,
for
whatever
reason
or
was
rejected,
would
not
be
able
to
take
that
advantage.
R
A
small
correction
to
a
letter
that
was
correct
on
the
EPC
one
is
that
sp230
prohibits
the
reducing
of
overall
residential
development
capacity,
which
includes
density
but
includes
a
bunch
of
other
things,
including
height
and
open
space
requirements.
We
are.
We
are
still
concerned
that
there
has
not
been
enough
analysis
to
determine
whether
it
follows
sb330,
but
we
are
encouraged
to
see
a
density
bonus
waiver
like
requirement
mechanism.
R
We
also
note
that
there
remains
a
conditional
use
permit
in
the
zoning
table,
as
well
as
the
requirement
for
the
Grand
in
the
grand
Phyllis
precise
plan
that
it
always
goes
to
council,
whereas
the
other
ones
go
through
Za
and
the
intention
of
putting
it
going
through
this
process
is
to
put
them
on
the
side
inventory
of
the
house
element,
which
implies
that
we
want
them
to
be
loved
in
eight
years.
So
we
should
be
reducing
constraints
in
order
to
make
that
into
your
cap
if
we
want
to
keep
them
in
the
silentory.

Q
P
Thank
you,
mayor
I'll
probably
make
the
motion
because
I
know
nobody
else
wants
to
read
the
extensive
staff
recommendations
here,
but
I
I
did
want
to
start.
So.
First,
thank
you
for
for
bringing
these
amendments
to
us,
especially
given
the
the
urgency
in
doing
so
right.
I
think
the
council
has
been
clear
in
wanting
to
preserve
commercial
uses
in
those
areas.
The
Village,
centers,
designated
in
the
general
plan
and
I
know,
on
top
of
everything
else,
you're
doing
you're.
P
You
know
implementing
a
component
of
the
general
plan
that
I
don't
think
anybody
thought
we
would
be
implementing
in
this
context,
but
for
state
law
right.
So
I
I
appreciate
your
your
diligence
in
in
taking
these
amendments
to
us
now
and
I
support
all
of
the
the
recommendations.
I
think
these
these
all
make
sense
and
are
necessary
for
for
housing
element
compliance,
I,
I,
guess
where
I
wish.
P
You
know
there
might
be
a
little
bit
more
time
to
do
some
of
these
things
or
where
we
might
want
to
be
that
for
now,
is
you
know
we?
We
got
the
the
comment
letter
from
hcd
and
I'm
I'm
wondering
if
there
are
things
you
know
minor
adjustments,
we
can
incorporate
into
these
recommendations
that
might
help
us
achieve
compliance
address
some
of
the
comments
in
the
hcd
letter.
P
P
To
saying
you
know
this,
it's
a
you
know
0.75
acre
lot,
but
we
think
we
could
do
an
R4
development
and
it
would
be
helpful
and-
and
you
know,
making
the
case
to
each
CD
that
we're
making
these
tactical
adjustments
to
help
facilitate
housing
without
eliminating
discretion,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
get
to
pick
you
know.
If
we
don't
want
that
project
there,
we
could
say
no,
because
it
must
be
a
gatekeeper.
P
There
is
no
instance
where
a
developer
would
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
elimination
of
the
minimum
lot
size
because
there
is
no
R4
in
the
city
where
that
would
be
possible.
So
that's
one
idea:
there
might
be
other
development
standards
we
would.
We
would
want
to
look
at
using
and
so
I
need
to
speak
more
into
my
mic.
Is
that
what
I'm
understanding?
P
So
so
that
that's
one
instance
there
might
be
other
development
standards
that
we
would
want
to
look
at
and
see.
Is
this
something
that
we
can
modify
now
to
help
meet
our
our
obligations
under
state
law?
One
standard
I've
heard
concerns
about,
for
instance,
is
the
the
private
storage
or
personal
storage
requirement
which
not
every
city
has,
and
it's
something
that
some
developers,
including
Charities
housing
with
Montecito,
has
used
a
density
bonus
to
eliminate
entirely.
So
that's
something
that
we
might
want
to
look
at.
That
could
be
a
program.
P
P
You
know
and
address
the
comments
that
were
that
were
just
provided.
There
are
other
examples
where
you
know
that
that
might
be
useful,
but
I'll
I'll
start
with
the
last
thing
getting
back
to
the
the
waiver.
I
think
this
was
referenced
in
the
public
comment.
It
would
have
been
it
had
you
more
time
right,
it
would
have
been
I
think
ideal
to
have
development
standards
that
we
knew
were
sp3
330,
compliant
that
didn't
allow
that
level
of
flexibility.
P
I
know
it's
not
easy
to
do
that
after
the
fact
and
in
such
a
short
period
of
time,
but
I
I
do
have
a
little
bit
of
hesitation
with
just
sort
of
this
generic
catch-all.
You
know
you
can
waive
standards
to
access
the
the
far
because
what
it
it
it's
it's
necessary
to
do
and
I
understand
why
we're
doing
it
but
I
feel
like
it's.
It's
not
the
type
of
planning
that
we're
accustomed
to
doing.
P
We
would
want
to
have
development
standards
that
are
more
likely
to
guarantee
certain
types
of
outcomes
right
community
supported
outcomes,
but
because
we
we
maybe
haven't
had
the
time
to
really
think
through
what
standards
would
be
SB,
330,
compliant
and
produce.
You
know
the
kinds
of
outcomes
that
we're
hoping
to
achieve.
This
is
I,
think
fine
language
for
now,
but
it's
it's
something.
I
don't
want
to
get
into
a
habit.
P
Ideally,
you
know
we
would
have
more
time
and
we
can
be
a
little
bit
more
prescriptive
and
development
standards.
At
any
rate,
I'll
move
the
staff
recommendation,
including
one
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Mountain
View
certified
the
2023-2031
housing
element,
update
environmental
impact
report
in
adopting
California
Environmental
Quality
act,
findings
related
to
environmental
impacts,
mitigation
measures
and
Alternatives,
and
adopting
a
statement
of
overwriting
considerations
and
a
mitigation
monitoring
and
Reporting
program
to
be
read
on
title.
B
L
I
just
had
a
quick
comment:
I
watched
the
EPC
meeting
on
this
topic
and
I
just
want
to
give
them
a
big
Kudos.
They
really
dug
into
this
topic,
especially
chair
Cranston,
and
vice
chair
Yin
I.
Ask
a
lot
of
great
questions.
Had
great
discussion
I
feel
like
they
really
did
their
due
diligence.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
EPC
for
their
work
on
this
topic.
Thanks.
A
Q
A
J
Thank
you,
mayor.
Had
a
number
of
report
outs,
I,
attended
the
Bay,
Area
Housing
Finance
Authority,
meeting
committee
meeting.
We
continue
to
work
on
the
programs
that
we
would
like
to
propose
as
part
of
the
regional
Bond
measure
plan
and
they're
around
the
three
p's
I
believe
it's
production,
preservation
and
protection.
Although
the
the
the
enabling
legislation
puts
an
emphasis
on
the
production,
I
think
that
it's
about
85
of
the
funding
to
be
generated
to
go
into
production.
So
there's
some
work
in
trying
to
tweak
that
legislation.
J
Svc
you
know
has
launched
Essence
it
launched
it
set
a
direction
of
providing
carbon
free
electricity
on
an
annual
basis
and
SVC
is
on
track
to
meet
its
renewable
energy
procurement
obligations,
as
mandated
mandated
by
the
state.
Svc
has
contracts
for
16
long-term
renewable
energy
projects,
totaling
1.8
billion
dollars.
Six
of
these
projects
are
now
delivering
energy
to
customers.
However,
there
are
many
challenges
that
we
are
facing
to
meet
our
100
clean
goals
such
as
competition
for
resources,
drought,
conditions,
supply
chain
constraints
and
Regulatory
changes.
J
So
it's
becoming
more
challenging
to
do
it
in
a
cost-effective
way,
but
we're
continuing
to
look
for
frankly,
Alternatives
and
as
many
options
as
possible
to
try
to
continue
with
our
mission.
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that,
as
you
probably
will
hear
in
the
news,
these
types
of
issues
coming
up
I
also
attended.
The
sister
cities,
dinner
I
know
actually
almost
all.
J
J
So
I
wanted
to
relay
that
thanks
and
then.
Just
to
note,
this
Thursday
is
our
first
city
Association
board
meeting.
We
also
had
planned
a
city
selection
committee
meeting
before
that,
but
due
to
some
transition
issues,
some
councils
actually
have
not
seeded
all
of
their
members.
We
were.
We
will
have
to
postpone
that
to
February
9th.
So
if
anyone
has
applied
for
a
position,
we
closed
the
application
or
letters
of
interest,
but
we
do
always
allow
nominations
for
for
the
from
the
floor.
J
P
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
I.
Think
it's
in
accordance
with
Council
policy
A2
is
that
right,
I
attended
a
taxpayer-funded
trip
to
Washington
DC
for
the
mayor's
Innovation
project.
You
don't
have
to
be
the
mayor
as
long
as
you're
a
former
mayor,
it's
okay
to
participate,
I,
think
that
was
January
19th
through
the
21st,
and
it
was
a
very
informative
program,
discussions
about
polarization
and
racial
Equity,
pedestrian
safety
and
Municipal
finance.
