Mayor
and
council
members
again,
Ed
orango
assistant,
Public,
Works,
director
and
I'm
also
joined
tonight
by
a
public
works
director
Cameron,
so
we're
here
to
present
the
count.
Council,
the
capital
Improvement
program,
regular
term
CIP,
for
council's
review
to
guide
staff
in
finalizing
the
recommended
fiscal
year,
2023-24
through
2027-28,
CIP
or
five-year
CIP.
C
At
their
April
27th
meeting
staff
presented
the
bicycle
pedestrian
advisory
committee.
The
materials
from
council's
first
study
session,
including
council's
Direction
staff,
included
an
update
on
the
addition
of
the
Evelyn
avenue
cycle
track,
project
El,
Camino,
Real,
protected
intersections
project
and
the
recommendation
to
move
to
the
unscheduled
list:
the
Central
Expressway
bicycle
and
pedestrian
Crossing
Villa
undercrossing
feasibility
study.
C
C
The
city's
share
is
approximately
9.3
million
dollars.
Staff
is
recommending
that
the
majority
of
these
funds
be
used
for
the
city's
Advanced
metering
infrastructure
project.
This
project
would
install
water
meters
and
communication
networks
to
streamline
meter
reading
and
provide
usage
data
to
customers.
Additionally,
availability
of
a
separate
Valley
water
grant
program
will
also
provide
funding
for
the
advanced
meter
infrastructure
project
and
remaining
funding
from
the
gp5
grant
program
will
be
available
and
can
be
used
for
the
Recycled
water
for
recycled
water
capital
projects.
C
Also,
at
the
previous
study
session
staff
discussed
the
high
inflation
Trend
and
in
response
staff
is
showing
applying
a
10
increase
to
all
non-discretionary
and
discretionary
projects
with
construction
plan
next
year.
Testament
three-year
memo
lists
the
non-discretionary
projects,
with
the
major
recommended
changes
to
those
projects
highlighted
here
for
discretionary
projects

two
of
your
memo
lists
the
recommended
projects
for
each
of
the
next
five
years,
including
nine
police
and
fire
related
projects
for
facilities
and
Equipment
37
active
Transportation
projects
and
four
new
park
projects.
C
Moving
to
amendments
and
unscheduled
projects,
staff's
recommendations
of
amendments
to
existing
projects
are
listed
in
table
three
of
the
memo
and
detailed
in

the
funding
source,
project
scope
and
or
title
unscheduled
projects
listed
in
attachment.
C

are
the
recommended
projects
not
included
in
the
five

due
to
limited
funding,
lack
of
Staff
resources

priority
than
those
within
the
five-year
CIP
or
planned
future

years
question
four:
does
council
support
staff's,
recommended
amendments
to
existing
projects
listed
in
table
3
and
question
five?
Are
there
any
projects
not
included
in
the
recommended
five-year
CIP
or
not
on
the
unscheduled
proposed
project
list
that
Council
would
like
staff
to
review
for
possible
inclusion?
C
Lastly,
listed
here
are
several
major
high
cost
projects
included
in
the
five-year
cap
that
Council
in
the
community
have
expressed
interest
in
moving
forward
as
soon
as
feasible
to
support
active
transportation
in
New
City
buildings.
These
projects
are
the
the
construction
phase
for
those
projects
either
in
design
or
that
will
be
starting
design.
C
Funding
sources
for
these
projects
are
not
yet
identified,
but
staff
will
be
looking
for
grant
opportunities
to
help
fund.
These
projects
staff
is
recommending
that
consideration
be
given
to
projects,
including
the
public
safety
building,
construction
and
fire
station
number
three
construction
for
the
potential
2024
Revenue
measure.
E
C
Be
presenting
to
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
the
recommendation
of
the
projects
using
Parkland
funds
in
the
five-year
CIP.
The
commission's
feedback
will
be
shared
with
council,
with
the
adoption
of
the
five-year
CIP
on
June
27th,
in
conjunction
with
the

bring
the
item
back
for
Council
questions

interest
related
to
the
underground
utilities
at
10,
20
terabella?
Please
make
your
refusal
statement
now.
F
A
G
A
G
H
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
First,
I
guess
we
should
we're
all
going
to
be
saying
how
much
work
this
was
and
thank
you
I
know
in
the
you
know,
in
the
contest,
for
which
report
has
the
most
attachments.
This
is
you
know
this
is
right
up
there,
seven
attachments
and
they're
all
all
quite
quite
meaty,
I
I
wanted
to
ask
about
how
you
characterize
discretionary
versus
non-discretionary
projects,
I
I.
C
Thank
you
for
the
question
council
member.
The
distinction
between
discretionary
projects
and
non-discretionary
projects
is
better
defined
as
what
is
termed
a
discretionary
project,
which
is
those
ongoing
annual
projects
that
are
needed
for
just
the
regular
operation
and
maintenance
of
our
infrastructure.
This
includes
utilities
streets,
and
this
is
just
again
ongoing.
Day-To-Day
repair
and
maintenance
needs
anything
that
falls
outside
of
that
is
considered.
Non-Discretionary.
I
Are
the
annual
projects
that
are
mainly
designed
towards
maintaining
our
infrastructure
and
our
buildings,
our
parks
in
a
state
of
good
repair?
They
provide
a
lot
of
flexibility
staff
to
take
care
of
a
lot
of
smaller
scale,
repairs
and
maintenance.
You'll
notice
that
some
of
them,
though,
also
include
sewer
and
water
main
Replacements,
and
it
again
allows
us
then
to
select
which
ones
are
next
up,
based
upon
utility
master
plans
and
needs
and
just
keep
those
projects
moving
forward.
Okay,.
H
Well,
sometimes,
people
have
slightly
different
definition,
which
also
includes
anything
that
is
required
by
a
permit
or
and
and
I
I
noticed
that
I
thought
that
there
were
some
on
the
the
discretionary
list
that
actually
were
were
required.
We'd
made
a.
We
had
an
obligation
to
do
them,
whether
so
in
a
sense
they're.
You
know
they're,
not
they're,
not
an
ongoing
we're
going
to
do
them
every
year.
Discretionary,
but
right
now
that
specific
project
really
isn't
discretionary,
we've
made
an
obligation
to
do
it.
I
Vice
mayor
you're,
correct-
and
there
are
some
regulatory
requirements
built
into
the
non-discretionary
annuals,
but
again
those
are
more
standard
ongoing.
But
when
a
project
hits
a
certain
cost,
level
involves
major
scope
and
we
need
to
bring
on
a
formal
engine.
You
know,
do
engineering
plans
and
specs
and
do
a
formal
political
work,
Public
Works,
Construction
contract
we
tend
to
we,
we
do
call
those
discretionary
projects
so
that
they
do
receive
more
oversight
and
review,
including
the
money
that's
being
allocated
to
those
individual
projects.
H
Regular,
yes,
okay,
well
I,
just
I
just
wanted
so
so
there
is
a
little
bit
of
flux
in
that
in
terms
of
of
kind
of
the
management
required.
It
sounds
like
yeah,
okay
and
the
only
thing
I,
I
kind
of
wondered
about.
I
I
think
you
maybe
want
to
move
the
the
project.
Cip
development
to
the
non-discretionary
list.
You've
got
to
do
that
every
year
or
every
few
years,
and
you
know
we
really.
We
definitely
want
to
do
the
study,
because
then
we
can't
make
good.
H
If
we
don't
do
the
study,
we
can't
make
good
decisions
about
how
to
spend
our
money,
so
so
I
would
just
hope.
We
maybe
could
do
that
and
then
a
couple
more
questions
about
you
know
this
has
been
a
really
odd
year
or
a
record
year
in
terms
of
weather,
and
that
has
produced
a
tremendous
amount
of
of
damage
to
things
and
and
it's
put
a
lot
of
wear
and
tear
on
things
that
don't
normally
have
to
be.
H
You
know,
there's
been
erosive
incidents
at
at
some
corners
on
streets,
I
mean
you
know,
there's
just
there's
just
been
this
incredible
laundry
list.
We've
got,
we've
had
power,
outages
that
have
meant
we
had
to
have
shelters
opened
up
for
people
who
didn't
know
you
know
I
mean
really.
It's
been
quite
quite
remarkable,
all
the
work
that
the
city
has
stepped
up
and
done
and
we're
very
proud
of
you
and
we
want
you
to
do
it-
I
mean
that
but
I
just
wondered.
Is
there
a
capital
project?
Associate
I
mean?
H
C
C
C
I'll
defer
to
director
Cameron
absolutely
as
part
of
the
recent
storms.
There
has
been
a
significant
as
we've
all
seen,
additional
water
in
the
creeks
and
erosion,
so
as
part
of
this
fiscal
year
as
part
of
the
next
fiscal
years
proposal
to
add
a
capital
project
to
address
some
of
the
creek
erosion
that
we've
seen
right.
We've
added
a
new
project,
that's
specific!
Just
to.
H
So
that
would
fall
into
that
category.
Okay,
all
right
and
is
that
kind
of
the
only
one
the
other
ones
are
all
just
under
well
the
reason
I'm
just
wondering
about
this.
Besides
the
fact
that
I
know
that
many
of
these
things
are
episodic,
you
know
when
we
have
a
big
rainstorm
like
this.
They
rain
period
like
this.
It
creates
these
things
that
need
to
be
dealt
with
and
I
wonder.
H
I
Because
this
is
the
first
winter
we've
experienced
this
extreme
level
of
Storms
and
and
saw
some
of
the
you
know
as
you're
saying
that
tree
falls
the
creek
bank
erosion,
the
pavement
repairs
especially
come.
You
know,
since
we've
been
in
a
drought
right
now,
we
would
suggest
we
handle
it.
The
way
we
have
as
assistant
director
arango
mentioned,
because
of
we
were
aware
and
have
noted
some
Stevens
Creek
banking
Bank
issues.
I
We
have
proposed
a
new
CIP
project
that
will
allow
us
to
do
a
more
formal
assessment
and
pave
the
way
for
an
additional
CIP
potentially
to
make
repairs.
If
you
know
once
we
ident
fully
assess
it,
but
in
terms
of
ongoing
tracking
may
want
to
wait
to
see
if
this
becomes
more
of
a
regular
occurrence
every
year.
For
now
again
we're
able
to
address
most
of
the
repairs
that
are
necessary
through
the
non-discretionary
annuals.
That's
one
of
the
key
things
that
they're
there
for
is
for
us
to
dip
into
them
and
through
this
special
project.
I
Now
that
we've
identified
to
deal
with
some
Creek
erosion
I'll
note
that
staff
has
developed
a
working,
Public,
Works
and
Community
Services
has
worked
together
to
produce
a
memo
to
council.
That
does
summarize
the
the
damage
that
we
have
seen
from
the
storms
and
hope
to
have
that
ready
to
send
to
you
soon.
K
Thank
you
so
I
sent
in
the
question
about
how
do
patches
in
the
roads
impact
PCI,
pavement
construction
index,
sorry
to
be
so
in
the
Weeds
on
this
one,
but
I
would
say
that
right
now,
the
most
common
thing
residents
contact
me
about
or
talk
about,
are
the
state
of
our
roads
and
it's
nice
to
see
that.
So
many
people
now
recognize
that
El
Camino
Real
is
not
a
city
road,
we're
making
progress
but
the
rest
of
the
roads.
Man.
K
Is
it
an
outside
agency
that
calculates
the
PCI
for
every
single
Road,
or
is
it
internal
that
we
do
that
and
then
how
do
we
factor
in
those
patches
done
by
others?
Not
the
ones
done
by
the
city
and-
and
maybe
this
is
something
you
need
to
say-
Lisa,
here's
a
link
to
the
manual
on
how
to
calculate
PCI
and
that's
fine.
C
L
C
Homeowner
that
does
this
for
their
own
utility
upgrade
or
needs.
So
as
part
of
that
the
city
issues
a
permit.
It's
an
excavation
permit
that
outlines
conditions
and
details
on
how
to
repair
and
Patch
the
roadway
to
meet
our
standards
and
so
they're
very
detailed
guidelines
on
when
you
cut
the
roadway
and
you
excavate
and
do
repair.
When
you
do
the
patchwork,
we
have
a
specific
guidelines
to
identify
that
you
need
to
bring
it
up
to
our
standards
for
trench
Cuts.
M
K
Yeah
I'm
thinking
a
lot
of
people
are
not
necessarily
following
those
regulations:
I
shared
with
the
city
manager
that
there
is
one
company
that
I
think
has
done
a
terrific
job
of
patching
and
it's
surprising.
It's
PG
e,
but
they've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
wisman
road
and
their
patches
are
terrific,
but
I
can't
say
that
for
all
the
other
ones
throughout
the
city
and
I,
don't
know
how
we
fix
that,
because
those
the
unevenness
and
it's
like
the
patch
itself
is
not
even
consistent.
K
It
can
be
bumpy
and
sometimes
it's
lower
than
the
road
or
higher
than
the
road
and
for
both
bicyclists
and
vehicles.
It's
just
not
a
pleasant
experience,
so
it's
like
how
do
we
get
greater
consistency
when
roads
are
patched
by
others,
because
there
is
a
lot
that
is
going
on
because
of
development
throughout
the
city?
So
how
do
we
do
that.
C
So
I
think
one
one
Avenue
is
informing
us
informing
staff
that
there
is
an
issue
with
a
specific
location.
I
think
another
element
may
be
a
lot
of
times.
Construction
is
done
over
a
duration,
so
when
they
do
the
initial
patch
they're
not
really
ready
to
do
the
full
final
Patchwork,
so
they
put
back
what
what
we
call
is
cut
back.
It
looks
like
asphalt,
but
it's
more
malleable
and
then
as
it
wears
and
and
it
weathers
tires,
get
on
it.
M
C
Paving,
all
at
one
time
for
the
trench
work.
So
again,
it's
it's.
Maybe
a
combination
of
what
you
mentioned,
which
is
poor
workmanship
that
we
just
need
to
be
aware
of
cutback.
That's
put
in
place
as
part
of
a
larger
effort
to
kind
of
do
this
in
a
more
efficient
way
and
come
back
and
dispatch
everything
or
it's
it's
something
that
we
just
need
to
be
aware
of.
That
is
it's
not
holding
up
and
the
contractor
needs
to
come
back
and
fix
it.
D
C
They
they
come
back
and-
and
we
appreciate
the
feedback
as
well,
because
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
our
construction
section
to
ensure
that
when
they
are
looking
at
construction
patches
that
it
does,
it
needs
to
be,
you
know,
meet
the
weathering
requirements.
So
that
way,
it'll
stay
in
a
good
condition
for
the
duration
of
the
temporary
patch,
and
they
can
monitor.
G
M
I
If
I
may
also
add
on
so
that
you
don't
have
to
be
the
conduit
for
everything
coming
in
city-wide
you're
also
welcome
to
advise
him
to
spend
an
ass
Mountain
View.
Yes,
as
then,
we
will
immediately
send
out
either
a
member
of
our
streets,
crew
or
our
inspection
crew
to
take
a
look
at
the
situation,
but
it's
it's.
You
know
it's
a
good
way
for
the
community
to
contact
us
directly.
Yes,.
K
I
Is
it
it
assumes
full
Staffing
and
I?
It
is
still
an
ambitious
plan
and
we
do
focus
in
primarily
on
what
we
show
in
the
first
two
years,
because
we
want
to
be
able
to
deliver
those
knowing
that
we
may
need
to
adjust
what
we
show
in
years.
Four:
three:
four
and
five
not
just
based
upon
changes
in
funding
conditions,
but
what's
going
on
with
the
staff
workload,
so
we
we
really
try
to
focus
that
on
the
first
two
years
in
terms
of
you
know,
do
we
have?
Will
we
have
the
Staffing
to
deliver?
I
It
I'll
note
a
couple
more
things,
because
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
council
is
very
aware
of
our
staffing
challenges
and
and
have
been
appreciating
the
patients
Council
has
shown
in
terms
of
delivering
capital
projects.
We
definitely
slowed
down
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
and
we're
really
working
to
catch
up.
We
put
out
more
projects
to
bid
in
the
last
six
weeks
than
we
did
all
year
last
year
and
we
have
a
couple
and
we're
really
trying
to
get
the
projects
back
on
track.
I
While
we
had
the
principal
project
manager,
come
in
to
take
over
parks
and
building
projects
which
tend
to
need
to
require
a
combination
of
architectural
expertise
as
well
as
engineering
expertise,
and
that
reorganization
was
set
up
to
set
us
up
in
the
long
term
to
be
able
to
deliver
more
projects
more
efficiently.
By
the
way.
This
is,
in
addition
to
a
third
engineering
capital
projects
team
in
public
services
that
delivers
the
utility
cap
capital
projects.
I
However,
with
approving
that,
it
still
took
time
to
fill
it,
it
took
almost
a
year
to
fill
the
principal
project
manager
position.
In
that
time
we
had
a
lot
of
retirements
and
we
needed
to
then
backfill
his
staff
because
he
walked
in
the
door
with
three
vacancies
and
we
just
hired
our
third
senior
project
manager
started
about
two
weeks
ago,
one
more
vacancy
in
that
section
we're
working
hard
to
fill
the
Civil
infrastructure
vacancies
and
cross
our
fingers
have
offers
out
working
on.
I
K
A
A
I
Thank
you
for
the
question
mayor.
So,
first
off,
as
as
the
elected
officials
from
Sunnyvale
were
contacting
you
and
a
couple
of
our
other
council
members,
we
I
personally
called
sunnyvale's
key
Transportation
person
to
ask
them
what
is
the
status
of
their
plans
for
the
Evelyn
avenue
Bikeway?
Why
is
this
now
generating
so
much
interest
and
it
turned
out
that
they
had
applied
for
a
grant
and
it
looked
like
they
were
going
to
receive
it,
so
they
were
interested
in
moving
forward
with
the
idea
of
a
cycle
track
or
a
two-way
protected
Bikeway.
I
It
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
have
now
added
into
the
recommended
CIP
discretionary
project
list
funding
in
order
to
begin
first
to
do
a
feasibility
study
because
for
Mountain
View,
most
most
of
most
of
Evelyn
has
a
has
a
landscaped
median
with
trees
and
and
our
road
is
almost
right
up
against
the
fence
line
for
the
Caltrain
tracks.
So
one
of
the
first
steps
to
do
is
we've
got
to
study
what
our
options
are
to
put
in
a
cycle
track.
I
Are
we
going
to
remove
a
traffic
lane
and
reduce
down
to
one
lane
heading
towards
the
Transit
Center
in
downtown,
or
do
we
need
to
talk
about
narrowing
the
median
or
removing
the
median
and
affecting
those
trees?
So
our
process
is
going
to
be
a
little
more
longer
and
involved
than
sunnyvale's.
It
would
require
a
lot
more
technical
work
we
are
proposing.
I
We
want
to
get
started
on
the
feasibility
study
so
that
we
can
start
sharing
that
with
the
community
and
with
the
council,
but
on
the
assumption
that
there
is
a
desire
to
make
this
happen
one
way
or
another.
We
also
added
in
money
in
the
planned
CIP
to
proceed
with
design
once
we
know
the
preferred
alternative
and
then
two
years
later,
what
it
could
potentially
cost
to
construct
it,
because
we
may
not
be
able
to
go
as
fast
as
Sunnyvale,
but
we
would
like
to
not
be
too
far
behind
them.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
It
sounds
I
hope
we
can
do.
It
sounds
exciting
to
me,
so
this
is
a
last
call
for
Council
questions
in
case
anybody
thought
of
one.
So
now
we
will
look
up
if
you
can
put
the
four
questions
up
on
screen
for
us
or
five
questions.
I
guess
so
now
we
will
do
answers
and
comments
to
the
five
questions.
A
O
F
Great,
thank
you
so
I
agree.
Yes,
I
support
one
through
five
I
think
the
only
thing
I
wanted
to
note
for
question
number
four
is
just
looking
at
some
of
the
potential
projects
for
the
grade
separations.
It
gives
me
a
little
bit
of
heartburn
just
due
to
the
cost
and
so
I'm
just
always
grateful
that
staff
is
looking
for
grant
opportunities.
You
know
I
continue
to
hope
that
in
particular,
like
you
know,.
F
Will
provide
those
and
I
know
that
we
sit
on
many
Regional
bodies,
so
just
I
don't
know
how
quickly
some
of
those
will
happen,
and
so
I
know
we're
always
keeping
our
eye
out,
but
I
think
I
would
just
hope,
and
in
reading
some
of
the
answers
to
the
council
questions,
it
sounds
like
there's.
Flexibility
on
report
backs
to
Council,
in
terms
of
as
things
are
changing
in
the
climate
that
we're
living
in
as
the
vice
mayor
was
talking
about.
F
So
if
anything
comes
up,
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
I
would
be
interested
in
that,
whether
that
just
be
you
know
off
agenda
just
to
make
sure
that
we
meet
those
deadlines,
because
I
know
that
this
can
always
be
kind
of
tight
crunch
too
so,
but
much
thanks
to
to
staff,
as
always
for
a
very
comprehensive
list
and
I
can't
wait
till
next
year,
when
we
hear
that
all
the
vacancies
are
filled
and
we're
gonna
be
able
to
start
doing
even
more
things.
Thank
you.
H
H
You
know
this
is
the
one
where
you
have
a
little
box
for
each
project
and
you
you
know
you
talk
about
where
the
funding
comes
from
and
kind
of
how
it's
different
I
mean
why
it's
in
here
I
really
like
that
it
was,
is
easier
to
read
than
the
tables
and
it
did
they.
It
was
kind
of
lengthy
I.
Don't
know
how
I
don't
remember
how
many
pages,
but
it
was
a
lot,
but
but
anyway,
I
I
really
like
that.
H
So
thanks
for
that
and
I,
oh
and
and
likewise
the
unscheduled
proposed
projects,
I
think
that's
seven
I
really
found
that
one
I
like
that
one,
the
first
one
I
felt
I
need
attachment
one.
That's
that's
the
laundry
list
I
think
it
has
like
200
projects
on
it.
I
felt
like
I
needed
a
little
bit.
Have
a
magnifying
glass
for
that
I,
don't
quite
know
how
you
can
fix
that
or,
if
there's
a
way
to
fix
it,
but
it
that
it
was
it
was.
H
You
know
it
was
difficult
to
read
and
kind
of
keep
your
attention,
so
maybe
even
just
breaking
them
up
every
five
projects
or
every
10
projects,
so
you
can
I,
don't
know
anyway.
I
had
a
little
trouble
reading
them,
so
I
want
to
let
you
know
that,
but
I
really
liked
particularly
attachment
five
I
thought.
H
That
was
very
helpful
because
you
know,
when
you
jump
from
the
study
report
to
the
attachments
you
kind
of
lose
your
train
of
thought,
and
so
that
had
the
information
in
the
in
the
table,
that
was
in
the
in
the
study
report
and
I
found
that
really
helpful.
Okay,
so
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
make
a
comment
about
the
question
number
two:
does
the
council
support
staff
recommendation
to
use
State,
Water
Project
tax
funds
for
the
advanced
metering,
infrastructure
project
and
other
recycled
water
capital
projects?
H
Yes,
I
would
like
to
say
an
enthusiastic
yes
to
that
and
I
just
like
to
to
mention
to
my
fellow
council
members
that
that
one
of
the
reasons
this
is
so
important
is
that
it's
very
difficult
to
ask
people
to
save
water
if
they
don't
know
how
much
water
they're
using
and
these
Advanced
meters
will
provide
everybody
with
that
information.
So
it's
really
important
going
forward
as
we
continue
in
this
Whiplash
weather
cycle,
which
seems
to
be
where
California
is
moving
with.
H
You
know,
climate
change
that
that
we
do
provide
people
with
with
more
information,
and
so
I
think
this
is
really
valuable
and
I
I
wholeheartedly
support
it
and,
of
course
the
Recycled
water
is
is
another.
You
know
another
adaptation
measure
that's
very
important
for
for
moving
forward
with
climate
resiliency.
H
Maybe
we
don't
do
it
this
year,
but
somehow
commemorating
keeping
in
mind
just
all
the
incredible
amount
of
work
that
was
done
this
year
because
of
the
extreme
water
water
cycle,
and
if
there
is
some
sort
of
way
we
should
be
really
almost
historically
recording
that
and
analogously
to
that
I
I
wonder:
have
we
done
a
report
I
think
we
have
done
a
report
for
all
the
things
we
did
for
covid.
We
have
done
a
report
for
that.
Haven't
we
city
manager,
yeah,
yeah,
so
kind
of
a
similar
lines.
A
H
K
Thank
you.
I
also
am
supportive
of
the
staff
recommendations.
I
will
add,
though,
that
if
there
was
any
way
possible
to
add
additional
budget
to
fixing
roads,
I
would
appreciate
it
and
I
I
know.
I've
said
this
before
I,
don't
feel
that
we
need
to
be
limited
by
the
amount
of
funds
we
get
from
restricted
sources.
K
P
P
How
long
do
these
subpar
patches
happen
and
if
there
are
certain
areas
that
have
repeated
subpar
patching
work,
I
would
hate
to
think
that,
like
areas
around
say,
Castro
City
have
more
likely
to
have
subpar
patching
than
places
like
I.
Don't
know
downtown
so
it'd
be
nice
to
to
keep
track,
especially
if
there
might
be
Equity
issues
related
to
that,
and
but
other
than
that.
Thank
you
so
much
to
staff
and
your
hard
work
on
this
I
support,
I'm
comfortable
with
all
of
Sap's
recommendations.
Q
Thank
you
mayor,
like
everyone
else
in
the
council,
I
support
the
staff
recommendations
and
don't
have
a
whole
heck
of
a
lot
to
add,
like
councilmember,
matacek
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
achieve
everything
on
this
list
and
I'm
also
looking
forward
to
fully
Staffing
up.
But
if
it's
helpful,
some
of
the
projects
that
I
was
looking
at,
that
I
think
probably
could
safely
be
pushed
out.
A
little
bit
are
predominantly
North.
Bayshore
related,
like
The
Landings,
related
generally
Los
improvements.
Q
If
that
project
is
paused,
you
know
if
what
we're
observing
based
on
the
the
trip
cap
analysis
is
showing
that
we
don't
really
have
the
same
level
of
congestion
that
we
had
experienced
prior
to
the
Pandemic.
Those
are
consequently
lower
priority
projects,
at
least
for
me,
but
I
appreciated
the
staff
responses
to
the
questions
and
the
packet
prior
to
the
meeting,
and
you
know
I,
don't
feel
that
we
necessarily
have
to
change
anything
right
now,
but
as
we
learn
more,
those
are
the
things
that
I
feel
we
can
safely
push
out.
A
So,
like,
like
other
council
members,
I
support
the
staff
recommendations
for
all
five
questions.
I
guess
the
only
additional
comment
that
I
had
I
thought,
maybe
for
prioritization
what
I
saw-
and
this
is
a
next
time
thing
what
I
saw
was
people
were
prioritizing
a
lot
of
sustainability,
related
projects,
and
so
maybe
that's
something.
I
didn't
see
that
in
our
criteria
for
prioritizing
projects,
I
didn't
see
that
maybe
quite
as
specifically
called
out
as
as
maybe
the
direction
council
is
moving
in
I.
Think
it's
there
in
some
vague
terms.
K
A
K
Now,
if
there's
a
way
to
increase
funding-
and
it
might
be
from
the
general
fund,
it
might
be
from
projects
that
get
pushed,
and
then
funds
are
available,
I
would
or
something
comes
in
on
your
budget.
I,
don't
know
exactly
how
funds
might
be
freed
up.
There
might
be
many
ways,
but
I
just
would
like
to
if
we
could
increase
the
amount
we
spent
on
roads.
I
So,
thank
you.
We
will
go
back
and
re-look
at
the
amount
of
money.
That's
been
already
allocated
related
to
Road
pavement
projects,
both
interns
of
City
funds,
as
well
as
the
other
funding
sources.
We
receive
gas
tax.
We
have
measure
B
local
Road,
funding
funding.
We
have
vtas
vlf
funding,
there's
a
variety
of
sources
that
come
in.
Some
of
them
are
really
small,
but
we
pull
them
all
together,
and
then
we
have
the
state
Senate
bill.
One
funding
that
comes
in
again.
I
So
we're
going
to
be
start
spinning
down
the
other
funding
sources
that
we've
accumulated
first
and
but
we'll
also
take
a
look
at
whether
additional
funding
would
be
useful
to
supplement
that
in
terms
of
getting
some
of
the
other
projects
delivered.
The
one
thing
again
that
we
try
to
point
out.
Our
staff
report
is
the
unrestricted
CIP
funds
are
in
great
demand
and
there
are
many
many
types
of
projects
that
can't
use
the
restricted
funds.
A
A
We
need
a
strop
hole.
Yes,
it
was
clear
enough.
Okay,
I
shouldn't
ask
two
questions
at
once:
okay,
so
seeing
no
complaints
from
Council,
Members
I
assume
that
we're
we're
supporting
all
five
staff
recommendations,
and
so
we
are
now
adjourning
and
taking
a
break
until
6
30
PM,
when
our
regular
session
will
begin.
A
A
K
K
Q
A
Thank
you.
So
we
are
now
on
item
three
of
our
agenda,
which
is
presentations.
Please
note
that
these
are
presentations.
Only
the
city
council
will
not
take
any
action.
Public
comment
will
occur
after
the
presentation
items.
If
you'd
like
to
speak
on
these
items
in
person,
please
submit
a
blue
speaker
card
to
the
city
clerk.
Now,
first,
we
will
be
doing
our
bike
month,
Proclamation.
A
So
we're
happy
to
be
joined
this
evening
by
bicycle

April
Webster,
you
you're
gonna,
think
there's
a
bunch
of
people,
but
it's
two
people
actually
to
accept
this
Proclamation,
so
Ms
Webster
and
Mr
kuzmo.
Will
you
please
join
me
at
the
lectern.
A
So
this
on
yes,
so
this
is
a
mercifully
short
Proclamation
I'm,
not
reading
the
very
long
ones
anymore,
I'm,
summarizing
them,
but
I
will
be
reading
this
one.
So,
whereas
for
more
than
a
century,
the
bicycle
has
been
an
important
part
of
the
lives
of
most
Americans
and
whereas
today
millions
of
Americans
engage
in
bicycling
as
an
environmentally
sound
form
of
transportation
Etc,
whereas
the
education
of
cyclists
and
motorists
as
to
the
proper
and
safe
operation
of
bicycles
is
important.
A
Etc,
whereas
the
league
of
American,
bicyclists
and
independent
cyclists
throughout
our
state
are
promoting
greater
public
awareness
of
bicycle
operation
and
safety.
Education
Etc,
whereas
Mountain
View
has
been
named
a
silver
level,
bicycle-friendly
Community
by
the
league
of
American
bicyclists.
Now,
therefore,
I
Alison
Hicks,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
along
with
my
colleagues
on
the
city
council,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
May
as
bike
month,
and
so
you
each
get
your
very
own
copy
of
the
proclamation
which
you
can
hang
in
your
living
rooms.
A
M
I,
don't
have
anything
specifically
prepared,
but
I
would
like
to
encourage
everyone
to
get
out
and
ride
your
bike.
This
bike
month
and
I
hope
that
all
the
good
work
the
city
is
doing,
as
evidenced
by
the
CIP
presentation
before
this
will
make
it
so
that
our
streets
are
safer
for
everyone
to
bike
and
walk
on
going
forwards.
R
Just
in
the
past
month,
we
have
prioritized
two
green,
complete
streets
projects
that
you
see
on
the
right,
and
we
have
also
committed
to
revisiting
our
parking
regulations,
which
presents
us
with
the
opportunity
to
open
up
more
space
on
our
streets
for
people
and
green
infrastructure
next
slide.
Please
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
visual
of
where
all
this
hard
work
can
take
us
and
it
can
move
us
from
where
we
are
in
a
hotter
and
slightly
more
hostile
landscape
on
the
left
to
a
safer,
more
attractive
and
comfortable
and
less
stressful
landscape.
R
R
R
R
R
There
are
two
on
the
on
the
screen.
There
are
two
new
funding
programs
that
I
just
learned
about
two
weeks
ago
for
transportation
infrastructure
projects
that
address
climate
resiliency,
there's
the
LT
cap
and
protect
one
is
already
open.
Another
is
opening
just
in
two
weeks
and
they're
closing
at
the
end
of
summer.
R
If
you
want
to
get
more
information,
the
full
description
is
on
the
slide.
I,
don't
want
to
read
it
out,
but
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
some
other
really
exciting
news,
and
that
Caltrans
has
just
released
their
updated,
complete
streets,
design,
guidance
and
I
was
really
excited,
and
a
lot
of
people
in
the
industry
are
as
well
to
see
that
it
includes
green
streets
and
narrow
car
Lanes.
This
can
have
a
huge
impact
next
slide.
Please.
R
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
keep
innovating
and
you
have
our
support.
The
community's
support.
One
thing
that
we
can
could
consider
is
supporting
continuing
continuing
education
for
our
Traffic
Engineers.
There
have
been
a
lot
of
changes
in
the
past
few
years
to
the
policies
and
standards
for
building
active,
Transportation
infrastructure,
and
there
are
courses
out
there,
such
as
the
Safe
Systems
approach
course
next
slide.
R
R
R
R
A
A
A
Now
this
one,
this
one
is
a
very
lengthy
Proclamation,
so
I'm
not
I'm,
not
going
to
read
every
single
word,
but
I'm
extremely
pleased
to
give
you
this
presentation
and
I'm
gonna
and
the
the
reason
I
do
not
give
all
the
present.
The
proclamations
were
asked
to
give
and
the
reason
I
chose
to
give
this
one
is
that
the
Seventh
Day
Adventist
Community
has
been
really
historic
addition
to
Mountain
View.
A
So
here
is
your
Proclamation
signed
by
the
mayor
and
I'm,
going
to
sum
it
up
just
to
say
that
the
Mountain
View
Academy
is
celebrating
a
hundred
years
of
providing
high
school
education
in
Mountain
View.
It's
a
secondary
school
ages,
9
through
12
and
part
of
the
Seventh-day
Adventist
educational
system,
the
Seventh
Day
Adventist
Pacific
press
publishing
Association
came
to
Mountain
View
in
1904
and
it
was
a
big
part
of
Mountain
View
use
economic
Vitality
strategy.
At
the
time
we
have
an
economic
Vitality
strategy.
A
So
the
campus
is
still
there
today
and
and
many
people
moved
here
to
work
at
the
Pacific
press
and
started
what
is
now
our
Swan
neighborhood
Southwest
Association
of
neighborhoods.
You
know
houses
that
are
still
largely
the
same
as
they
were
over
100
years
ago,
when
people
built
them
to
work
at
Pacific
press.
A
So
the
end
of
the
and
the
Pacific
press
and
the
Seventh-day
Adventist
Community
is
in
a
lot
of
mountain
View's
history
books
like
the
Milestone
history
book.
If
you've
read
it
so
the
end
of
your
Proclamation
says
now.
Therefore,
I
Alison
Hicks,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
do
hereby
recognize
the
100th
anniversary
of
the
Mountain
View
Academy.
And
would
you
like
to
say
a
few
words
I
will
listen
from
the
dice.
S
Mayor
Hicks
and
council
members
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
this
honor
for
the
proclamation
and
also
my
board
members
that
are
here
with
me.
I'm
joined
by
our
board
chairman
Dr
Renee,
tabiola
Kerner
and
the
representative
from
our
school
district
office.
The
central
California
Conference
of
Education
he's
our
vice
president
for
Education,
Ken
Bullington,
we're
just
so
thankful
for
the
recognition
we
have
been
part
of
the
community
and
we're
thankful
for
the
space
and
the
support
you've.
Given
us
there
on
our
little
corner
of
Shoreline
in
California.
F
First
I
was
just
wondering
if
Miss
Webster
could
send
us
that
lovely
deck
that
you
put
together,
I
think
it'd
be
great
for
my
colleagues
and
I
to
be
able
to
see
it
and
then
just
want
to
thank
the
the
Mountain
View
Academy.
It's
always
fun
learning
more
about
history
here
in
the
city,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
that
thanks
mayor
vice.
A
H
Yes,
I
wanted
to
extend
my
thanks
well
both
to
the
bike
group.
I
think
that
your
advocacy
has
made
a
huge
difference
in
our
community
and
and
we
and
we've
all
benefited
from
it.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that,
but
for
the
Mountain
View
Academy
I
was
wondering
both
how
many
students
that
you
have
how
big
your
school
is.
I
know
it's
been
there
a
long
time
and
also
I.
Remember
quite
a
few
years
ago
we
approved
some
on-site,
housing
and
I.
H
S
Let
me
see
if
I
remember
your
questions.
Currently,
we
have
60
students
and
we're
a
day,
High
School,
nine
grades,
nine
through
12.
and
before
covet
we
had
about
a
hundred
so
we're
we're
on
the
upswing.
We're
headed
back
up
as
far
as
the
building
project,
the
architect
in
charge,
passed
away
suddenly
just
before
covid,
and
then
we
didn't
get
back
on
track
with
the
building
permit
process.
S
H
A
T
Hi,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
the
bike
month,
Proclamation
and
congratulations
to
James
and
April
for
representing
the
community
there
tonight
and
also
to
April,
specifically
for
the
presentation
very
well
done,
and
it
well
States
the
case
for
green
complete
streets.
That
many
of
us
out
here
in
the
community
would
like
to
see
happen.
So
it's
nice
to
see
that
represented
at
the
council
meeting
tonight.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
seeing
no
other
public
commentators
I
will
close
the
presentation
portion
of
the
meeting.
Thank
you
so
much
for
everyone
for
coming
nice
to
see
you
and
we
will
move
on
to
item
four
on
our
agenda,
which
is
the
consent
calendar.
The
items
on
our
consent
calendar
will
be
approved
by
one
motion
unless
any
member
of
the
council
wishes
to
remove
an
item
for
discussion.
F
U
U
A
H
H
Sure
I
can
make
the
comments
down
well
on
the
the
4.4,
the
Plymouth
Street
realignment,
I
I'm.
All
for
that
I
know
it's
an
it's
an
important
project,
but
one
of
the
things
that's
happening
is
this
project
and
it's
it
happens
with
a
lot
of
some
projects.
Is
we
remove
Heritage
trees?
This
one
has
a
lot
of
trees,
86
trees
that
are
getting
removed
and
and
I
imagine.
H
That's
the
North
Bay
Shore
trip
cap
monitoring
report
and
I
wanted
to
bring
this
up
because
in
the
first
four
years
I
was
on
the
council.
This
was
a
huge
item
of
debate.
We
talked
about
this
for
many
many
hours
and
it's
very
exciting
to
see
this
report
and
see
how
things
are
changing
so
I
I
was
particularly
impressed
with
the
the
attachments
and
so
I
asked
the
the
the
clerk
to
help
me
out.
By
sharing
one
of
the
figures.
H
Here
we
go
yeah
well,
I
just
wanted
to
share
this.
We
we
have
a
lot
of
information
that
and
data
that
is
shared
with
the
city
council
and
sometimes
it's
not
very
easy
to
understand
or
well
put
together
or
well.
Sometimes
it's
harder
to
understand
this
I
thought
was
beautifully
done.
So
I
wanted
to
bring
this
to
your
attention.
You
see
the
the
quadrant
that
shows
single
occupancy,
Vehicles
active
Transportation,
Transit
and
hovs.
H
So
all
on
the
same
graph,
it's
clearly
shown
with
the
color
which
ones
come
from
which
which
ones
come
from
which
Gateway
and
so
I
really
wanted
to
share
it.
It
just
you
know,
encapsulates
really
quickly
an
awful
lot
of
information
there
that
most
people
come
on,
Shoreline
that
on
the
Steve
you
know
on
the
active
Transportation
it's
a
little
different.
The
SC
is
Stevens
Creek
for
the
Stevens
Creek
Trail.
H
K
A
K
So
the
question
is:
at
the
NLC
meeting
in
Washington,
DC
I
attended
the
session
on
broadband
and
it
was
very
much
said
and
reinforced
that
there
will
be
federal
funds
available,
but
they
will
be
made
available
through
the
state
and
if
you
are
not
in
on
the
ground
floor,
then
you
are
not
eligible
when
the
funds
are
actually
distributed,
and
so
I
was
wondering.
Have
we
checked
to
see
what
specifically
needs
to
be
done
to
get
into
on
the
ground
floor?
Is
it
just
putting
our
name
on
a
list?
V
L
So
in
answer
to
your
question
regarding
has
the
staff
explored
opportunities
for
State
funding
we
have
not
and,
however,
we
can
certainly
begin
exploring
to
understand
what
the
city
would
need
to
do
to
get
on
the
list
to
receive
potential
funding
opportunities
for
future
Broadband
implementation.
So
we
can
certainly
begin
exploring
that
while
we
are
simultaneously
conducting
the
RFP
process.
A
W
All
right,
4.4,
you
had
to
see
this
coming
Plymouth
and
short
like
series
Parkway
on
Shoreline.
It
is
an
awkward
set
of
intersections
alignment's.
Good
I
would
just
ask
the
city
have
a
good
notice
and
point
of
contact
for
the
people
in
Santiago
Villa.
We
are
currently.
We
have
two
ways
in
and
out
of
the
park
that
we
have
that
in
La
Venita.
W
We
have
a
lot
of
construction
going
on
in
La,
Bonita
and
pear
right
now
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
construction
on
Shoreline
soon,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
construction
on
Shoreline
soon,
and
it's
going
to
be
difficult
at
times.
I
imagine
for
people
to
understand
where
they
can
go,
how
they
can
get
in
and
out
back.
F
F
Now
it's
called
the
Hadley,
I
think
and
so
I
just
I
know
that
the
The
Flower
Mart,
Park
was
and
so
I
just
I
know
that
the
The
Flower
Mart
Park
was
voted
down
by
our
Parks
and
Rec.
Commission
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
the
if
the
applicant
had
already
put
like
a
plaque
or
anything
I
know
that
sometimes
our
developers
put
up
kind
of
an
homage
to
what
existed
there
before
to
Mountain
View's
history,
and
so
okay
I'm,
seeing
a
head
shaking.
F
No,
it
wasn't
included
so
maybe
in
the
design
of
the
park.
I
just
wanted
to
make
the
comment
then
that
I
I
would
like
to
see
that
you
know
much
of
our
Roots
here
in
the
city
are
to
to
those
who
raised
flowers
and
so
just
wanted
to
ask
that.
But
I'm
comfortable
with
the
Evelyn
Park
name,
but
just
wanted
to
to
check
if
that
had
already
existed,
not
to
make
anyone
have
a
heart
attack
on
it.
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there.
Thank
you.
A
Okay
and
I
see
staff
taking
notes
on
that
as
well.
I
think
it
doesn't
substantially
alter
the
what's
being
proposed.
Okay,
so
so
I
think
we
have
no
other
items
pulled
at
this
time.
So
I
see
I'm
bringing
it
this
back
for
Council
action
and
see
motion
by
council
member
Ramos
and
a
second
by
councilman.

it
wasn't

So
thank
you

attachment

to
the
council
report
and
set
a
date
for

A
I
Thank
you,
Mayor
Don,
Cameron
Public
Works
director.
We
have
been
informed
by
the
Bay
Area
Water
Supply
and
conservation
agency
or
Bosca
that
a
Bosca
board
director
must
be
appointed
for
a
four-year
term.
Should
the
appointee
resign
before
the
end
of
their
four-year
term,
Council
may
make
a
new
appointment
for
completing
the
four-year
term.
A
K
I
do
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
revision
to
this.
I
have
been
on
the
bus
board
for
four
years
and
recently
there
has
been
quite
a
bit
of
turnover
on
the
board
and
because
of
that,
the
CEO
contacted
me
and
asked
if
I
would
consider
being
reappointed
and
I.
Let
her
know
that
we
do
have
a
policy
here
in
Mountain.
K
It
is
my
intention
and
I
will
follow
the
council
policy
of
not
being
on
a
regional
board
if
I'm
not
on
the
council,
and
so
I
will
resign
at
the
end
of
my
Council
term,
which
is
about
a
year
and
a
half
from
now,
and
then
you'll
have
the
opportunity
to
appoint
somebody
who
is
a
current
council
member.
Thank.
L
A
A
A
And
that
passes
unanimously,
so
we
are
now
on
item
five
on
the
agenda,
which
is
oral
Communications.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
reserved
for
people
wishing
to
address
the
Council
on
any
matter,
not
on
the
agenda.
Speakers
can
speak
on
any
topic
for
up
to
three
minutes
during
this
section.
State
law
prohibits
the
council
from
acting
on
non-agenda
items.
A
X
X
From
my
understand,
the
Clean
Water
Act,
basically
overrode
that
and
what
I
understand
now,
is
that
there's
still
currently
a
consideration
regarding
that,
what
is
going
to
be
the
fines
regarding
the
pollution
of
decree?
Now,
the
important
thing
I
want
to
point
out
is
that
the
creek
was
polluted
with
E
coli
and,
as
we
all
know,
any
person
with
E
coli
is
Gravely
ill.
X
I
understand
now
is
that
the
city
has
something
until
2027
to
be
in
order
to
correct
the
problem
regarding,
what's
going
on
with
the
E
coli
getting
into
the
river,
and
that
means
that
it
looks
like
we're
going
to
have
to
get
some
kind
of
a
treatment
facility
put
in
place
in
order
to
correct
the
problem
and
we're
going
to
have
to
fix
all
the
storm
water
systems
that
are
in
the
city
and
so
far,
I'm
not
hearing
anything
regarding
it.
In
the
meantime,
of
course,
I've.
X
What
I've
read
is
that
the
daily
buying
could
be
as
much
as
53
000
a
day
that
could
be
levied
to
the
city
based
on
the
the
statutory
language
of
the
Clean,
Water,
Act
and
so
I'm
confused
as
to
wondering
why
it
seems
like
this
report
has
only
been
on
the
the
printed
version
of
the
Palo
Alto
knows,
and
it's
not
been
reported
at
all
on
the
Mountain
View
voice
and
I'm.
Thinking
that
what's
going
on
here
is
that
people
are
not
wanting
to
discuss
the
fact.
X
This
means
that
at
least
a
million
dollars
is
going
to
be
lost
by
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
just
for
the
legal
fees
alone,
and
who
knows
what
the
the
total
regarding
the
the
cleanup
and
the
fines
are
going
to
be.
I
mean
at
the
same
time.
When
is
this
going
to
be
discussed
by
the
city
council
in
some
form
because
it
seems
like
the
decision
was
already
made
in
the
courts
in
any
case.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
have
a
great
rest
of
your
night.
Y
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
I
am
Aruna
boduna
Transportation
planner
here
to
present
this
item.
Joining
me
and
available
for
questions
are
Don
Cameron,
Public,
Works,
director
John
Lang
economic
Vitality
manager
and
krisha
pinolear,
Associate
planner.
We
are
here
tonight
to
present
for
Council
consideration,
ordinances
and
resolution
to
support
implementation
of
outdoor
patio
program
for
the
Castro
Street
interim
Pedestrian,
Mall
and
downtown
precise
plan
areas.
Y
The
City
established
Sidewalk
Cafe
program
in
2000
for
businesses
in
downtown
to
operate
Outdoors
the
program
allowed
for
operations
in
the
sidewalk
areas
and
parking
stalls
along
Castro,
Street
and
sidewalk
areas
along
the
cross
streets.
The
program
required
execution
of
a
planning
permit,
along
with
payment
of
application
and
rental
fees
in
June
of
2020.
The
Castro
streets
program
was
implemented
to
facilitate
outdoor
dining
within
the
public
right-of-way
by
restricting
vehicle
access
along
Castro.
This
was
to
support
the
recovery
of
downtown
businesses
as
a
result
of
covid-19
pandemic.
Y
Y
Subsequently,
in
October
of
last
year,
the
city
council
adopted
Pedestrian
Mall
establishment
on
Castro
Street
between
East
leg
of
West,
Evelyn
avenue
and
California
Street.
As
a
part
of
this
adoption,
staff
identified
interim
Pedestrian
Mall
improvements,
including
development
of
new
standards
and
guidelines
for
outdoor
patio
operations.
Y
Staff
develop
new
outdoor
patio
program
based
on
the
existing
Sidewalk
Cafe
program.
The
new
outdoor
patio
program
includes
design
standards
and
guidelines
that
are
simple,
unobtrusive
and
convey
the
look
and
feel
of
an
attractive
and
vibrant
area
across
the
three
blocks
of
Castro
Pedestrian
Mall
and
throughout
the
greater
downtown
area.
Y
The
design
guidelines
provide
locational
requirements
of
outdoor
patios,
permitted
activities
and
Furnishings
that
can
be
placed
in
the
outdoor
patios.
The
guidelines
also
outline
business
responsibilities
for
clarity.
Outdoor
patios
are
permitted
in
program
zones
and
sidewalk
areas
of
The,
Pedestrian,
Mall
and
sidewalk
only
throughout
the
rest
of
the
downtown.
The
City
previously
prohibited
outdoor
dining
through
the
Sidewalk
Cafe
program.
Retail
was
also
permitted
with
a
planning
permit,
but
no
businesses
utilize
this
provision,
outdoor
dining
and
Retail,
will
continue
to
be
permitted
in
certain
area
of
certain
areas
of
the
downtown.
Y
Under
this
new
program,
live
entertainment
will
be
added
added
as
a
permitted
ancillary
activity
within
the
program
patios
in
The
Pedestrian
Mall
areas.
Only
the
design
guidelines
include
specific
requirements
on
the
permitted
Furnishings
for
an
outdoor
patio,
such
as
seating
umbrellas
heaters
Etc,
a
council
ad
hoc
subcommittee
was
appointed
to
review
and
provide
Direction
on
the
new
design
standards
and
guidelines,
along
with
an
implementation
plan
for
the
interim
Castro
pedestrian
model.
Y
This
committee
met
four
times
beginning
last
September,
at
their
most
recent
meeting
on
March
20,
the
ad
hoc
subcommittee
approved
the
standards
and
guidelines
and
recommended
for
Council
approval,
since
the
establishment
of
The
Pedestrian
Mall
in
October
of
last
year,
staff
have
conducted
several
Outreach
and
engagement
activities
listed
on
the
slide
here
to
receive
feedback
from
businesses,
Property
Owners,
downtown
Business,
Association
downtown
committee
and
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
The
design
guidelines
were
revised
based
on
feedback
received
from
various
stakeholders.
Y
While
the
design
guidelines
recommended
by
the
council
ad
hoc
subcommittee
are
for
The
Pedestrian
Mall
staff
is
proposing
to
expand
the
guidelines
to
apply
to
permitted
outdoor
activities
throughout
the
downtown
precise
plan
area.
The
Sidewalk
Cafe
guidelines
will
be
replaced
by
the
new
outdoor
patio
program
standards
and
guidelines.
Y
Y
Y
staff,
recommends
replacing
the
Sidewalk
Cafe
program
fee
structure,
with
a
new
outdoor
patio
program,
initial
application
fee
and
a
rental
rate
of
ten
dollars
per
square
foot.
There
would
not
be
an
annual
renewable
fee
staff
derived
the
rate
shown
here,
based
on
information
gathered
from
neighboring
cities
that
provide
similar
outdoor
patio
program,
along
with
current
retail
lease
rates
in
Mountain
View.
Y
The
last
item
for
Council
consideration
today
is
approval
of
intersection
control
at
Castro
Street
at
Villa
and
Dana
intersections
signals
at
both
locations
were
changed
to
flashing
red
operation
with
implementation
of
Castro
streets
program
in
2020.
signals
were
reactivated
in
Fall
of
last
year
and
staff
conducted
studies
to
analyze
pedestrian
signal
wardens
at
these
locations,
based
on
the
analysis,
staff
recommend
signal
at
both
the
locations.
Y
If
Council
supports
this
recommendation,
improvements
will
be
implemented
in
two
phases.
The
initial
phase
this
year
will
continue
to
use
the
existing
signalized
crosswalk
with
enhanced
pavement
treatments.
The
second
phase,
as
shown
on
the
slide
here,
will
include
converting
to
a
single,
centralized
Crossing
with
new
pedestrian
signals
and
other
traffic
signal
upgrades
for
next
steps.
Staff
will
continue
community
and
business
Outreach
on
the
implementation
of
the
interim
Pedestrian
Mall
work
with
the
businesses
on
license
application
process
and
implement
the
new
program
beginning
November
1
of
this
year.
Concurrently
staff
will
continue.
Y
A
So
I'll
now
bring
the
item
back
for
Council
deliberation.
Oh
nope,
first
I'm
going
to
ask
if
any
members
of
the
public
joining
us,
virtually
or
in
person
would
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item.
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.
A
T
Sorry,
multiple
mute
buttons,
Bruce,
England,
whisman,
Station,
Drive
I
have
five
comments
I'd
like
to
make,
but
they're
fast,
and
so
I
can
do
it
in
three
minutes.
First
of
five
signaling
at
Villa
and
Dana
needs
to
be
more
pedestrian
friendly
than
it
is
currently.
Please
turn
the
standard
signals
back
on
to
help
provide
additional
cues
to
pedestrians,
where
the
signal
cycle
is
at
the
moment,
not
just
the
walk.
Don't
walk
sign
number
two
clarify
that.
T
Presumably
electricity
can
be
allowed
in
areas
that
don't
require
running
power,
cords
over
sidewalks
or
other
open
areas,
if
possible,
I
think
the
Creperie
is
one
situation
where
that
could
happen.
Number
three
clarify
that
live
music
is
allowed
in
areas
outside
of
the
business
dining
areas
and
please
explore
ways
to
encourage
live
performance
downtown,
including
busking
number.
Four.
T
In
addition
to
allowing
the
monetary
transactions
Outdoors
provision
for
allowing
and
encouraging
Food
Service
Outdoors
would
be
welcome.
This
can
be
a
great
convenience
for
some
patrons
and
it
can
help
to
activate
the
streetscape
and
enhance
business
presence
in
the
area
which
we
know
many
retail
businesses
sorely
need
number
six.
T
The
APM
cutoff
for
live
entertainment
seems
too
stringent
to
me
and
I
encourage
some
loosening
of
this
guidance
and,
lastly,
please
ensure
that
sidewalks
are
sufficiently
wide
for
pedestrian
passage,
including
for
those
walking
side
by
side
or
moving
strollers,
Walkers
and
other
such
devices
even
on
side
streets,
which
might
constitute
part
of
downtown
eight
feet,
might
be
the
needed
width
and
certainly
not
four
feet
which
can
pose
problems
for
ADA
compliance.
Note
that
proper
sidewalk
design
can
help
to
activate
streetscapes
and
to
encourage
business
transactions
via
foot
traffic.
Thank
you.
Z
Thank
you,
mayor
and
esteem
members
of
City
Council.
The
chamber
has
been
a
strong
sport
of
the
city's
plan
for
The
Pedestrian
Mall
for
some
time
in
decoding
the
staff
report
and
based
on
conversations
I've
had
with
the
city.
It's
really
about
formalizing
the
steps
the
city
has
said
it
will
take
for
some
time
now
to
make
both
the
sidewalk
and
the
street
space
allocation
more
Equitable
and
in
keeping
with
the
overall
planned,
look
feel
and
utility
of
the
PED
Mall.
It
also
takes
things
out
of
the
zoning
code.
Z
Z
At
the
same
time,
we
recognize
that
many
of
our
businesses
are
still
struggling,
so
the
challenges
in
implementation
as
this
process
continues.
We
need
to
be
aware
that,
for
a
good
number
of
small
businesses,
any
additional
costs
or
actions
that
would
curtail
their
ability
to
bring
in
Revenue
will
be
hurtful
to
their
recovery
to
their
recovery.
We
also
strongly
endorse
the
restoration
of
outdoor
music
and
would
Echo.
U
J
Mayor
Hicks
vice
mayor
Showalter
and
members
of
the
city
council.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
this
item.
I
applaud
this
as
a
big
step
in
the
right
direction.
Keep
up
the
good
work.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
brief
suggestion
on
the
facade
grant
program
that
will
be
made
available
to
small
businesses
to
improve
signs,
awnings,
Windows,
Doors
and
exterior
paint
as
Vice
chair
of
the
Old
Mountain
View
neighborhood
association.
My
neighbors
often
share
with
me
what
they
like
about
the
changes
along
Castro
Street.
J
The
city
could
provide
Consulting
on
how
to
best
use
the
available
funds
to
get
the
most
for
the
grant
money
and
enhance
our
downtown
business
properties
to
be
consistent
with
the
district's
overall
historic
look
and
feel
I
have
been
told
the
city
of
Oakland
made
such
a
Consulting
as
part
of
its
revitalization
plan,
and
it
was
a
key
to
the
plan's
success.
Thank
you
for
considering
my
view.
I
yield
my
time.
A
E
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
oh
awesome,
so
I
just
want
to
once
again
let
the
counselor
know
my
concerns
about
banning
bicycle
traffic
on
Caster
sheet
and
the
unintended
consequences
that
can
produce,
including
less
Safe
Streets
as
a
cyclists
ride
through
there
through
the
sidewalks
through
the
downtown
Pedestrian
Mall,
because
they're
not
allowed
to
have
their
own
bike
lane.
E
That's
just
going
to
create
conflicts
like
I,
see
everywhere
that
bikes
are
banned.
Even
if
it's
clear
signage
saying
to
go
around,
not
everyone
will
read
the
signs,
also
having
a
no
biking
zone
for
those.
Three
bucks
will
really
disrupt
our
cycling
networks
throughout
the
city
and
not
just
like
cyclists,
who
plan
to
arrive
at
downtown
they're,
Peninsula,
bikeways,
bike,
boulevards
and
lots
of
bike
Lanes
in
general
that
just
kind
of
converge
on
downtown.
E
So,
if
you're
telling
people
to
get
off
this
Mount
or
go
around
it,
that
disrupts
many
paths
in
many
different
directions.
So
one
example
is
that
the
south
to
North
Route
on
Evelyn
is
currently
bikable.
There's
a
nice
little
protected
Lane
that
you
can
go
take
past
the
Hot
Pot
place
and
continue
down
Evelyn.
However,
it
is
illegal
to
bike
in
the
opposite
direction.
If
you
try
to
go
north
to
south
there's
no
way
to
do
it
and
that's
because
of
the
no
biking
in
downtown
rule.
So
there
are.
E
There
are
many
other
examples
like
that,
where
you're
going
to
have
to
create
a
whole
bunch
of
different
alternate
routes,
so
I'd
encourage
you
to
allow
cycling
downtown,
it
could
be
done
safely
become
the
center
lane,
which
is
currently
playing
to
be
a
16
foot
wide
pedestrian
walkway.
That
could
be
a
two-way
cycle
track.
You
could
have
it
be
slow,
you
can
have
it
be
filled
with
trees
and
public
art
and
make
it
kind
of
a
winding
path
to
encourage
people
to
go
slowly
and
safely
and
even
have
intersections
at
the
midpoints
of
the
blocks.
E
E
Remember,
a
Viva
Cayenne
meeting
I
went
to
in
San
Jose
presented
by
the
city
and
svbc
I
believe,
and
they
had
some
studies
showing
that
when
you
ban
cars
temporarily
when
they
close
it
down
to
car
traffic
and
then
allow
cyclists
to
go
through
that
area
that
actually
increases
sales
to
local
businesses.
Despite
initial
worries
that
it
would
have
the
opposite
effect,
they
turned
out
to
be
helpful
to
the
economy.
So
I
hope
you
consider
this.
Thank
you
very
much.

There
was
a
recent
paper
in
pnas
proceedings
of
the
National
Academy
of
Sciences
that
actually
showed
that
building
bicycle
infrastructure
can
increase
active
travel
and
and
kind
of,
create
and
induce
demand
because
there's
the
safe
infrastructure.
So
that's
that's
a
great
suggestion.
I
want
to
Echo
that
and
I'll
also
Echo.
Another
thing
I
heard
earlier
live
music
performing
downtown.
That
sounds
cool
I'd
love
to
have
that
sort
of
stuff.
Yay
live
music!
A
Thank
you.
So
this
is
the
last
call
for
public
comments
on
this
subject.
Anybody
in
person
or
virtually
I,
see
no
hands
or
blue
cards.
So
now
we'll
bring
the
item
back
for
Council
deliberation
and
action,
and
just
to
let
council
members
know
that
proving
the
rec
staff
recommendations
should
also
include
reading
the
title
of
the
ordinances
and
resolutions
attached
to
the
report,
which
you
should
have
in
front
of
you.
So.
H
H
One
is
about
the
room
for
buskers
and
the
prohibition
of
essentially
having
musicians
play.
You
know
like
somebody
who
opens
up
their
guitar
and
stands
and
plays
their
guitar
and
people
drop
dollars
in
Apparently.
That
is
not
allowed
at
the
moment,
and
it
would
only
be
allowed
if
one
of
the
private
owners
said
they
could
do
it
on
their
property.
Is
that
how
I
understand
the
current.
I
Thank
you
vice
mayor
for
the
question:
Don
Cameron
Public
Works
director.
So
as
we
did
work
to
clarify
and,
as
you
said,
the
council
q,
a
the
regulations
that
you
see
here
are
simply
related
to
what's
allowed
within
the
outdoor
patio
areas
to
be
licensed
to
private
businesses
where
it
is
allowed.
As
we
noted
live
entertainment
as
an
auxiliary
use,
it
is
permitted,
it
would
have
to
be
part
of
their
application
when
applying
for
for
the
patio
license.
This
is
not
regulating
what
happens
outside
of
these
patio
license
areas
in
the
public
right
away.
I
The
key
item
that
does
regulate
what
happens
to
the
public
right
away
is
the
city
does
have
a
requirement
that
there
be
no
Amplified
music
and
therefore,
if
somebody
did
a
buskers
did
set
up
shop
and
had
Amplified
music,
that
was
very
loud.
They
would
be
basically
asked
to
stop,
because
it's
not
to
have
Amplified
music
and
as
long
as
they're,
not
obstructing
sidewalks
or
causing
any
other
problems.
I
A
So
I
just
want
to
clarify,
because
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
public
comment
and
questions
on
this
everything
will
in
terms
of
buskers.
It
will
be
the
same.
The
regulations
that
we're
reading
about
are
just
about
what
goes
on
in
the
Gated
areas.
That
is,
that
are
the
areas
we're
talking
about
under
this
item
is
that
true.
H
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
clarification.
I
I
really
like
that
answer,
because
it
is
charming
from
time
to
time
to
just
listen
to
people
play
their
guitars
or
I.
Remember
one
time
there
was
a
guy
with
a
violin
that
was
nice,
but
that's
different
from
Amplified
music.
Some
from
time
to
time
we
have
carolers,
we
wouldn't
want
them
to
be
okay,
all
right,
then.
My
second
question
was
about
how
the
permitting
will
work
if
you're
coming
you're
a
merchant
and
you're
coming
in
to
get
your
your
permit.
H
Y
They
would
be
coming
to
one
person
to
apply
for
permit
and
it
would
be
routed
internally
in
the
city
staff,
so,
whether
they're
applying
for
a
public
or
a
private
in
the
licensed
intake
process
we'll
we
will
list
out
all
the
items
that
need
to
be
submitted,
along
with
the
application
form
and
they're
just
making
one-time
application
and
one
person
to
reach
out
to
as
their
initial
point
of
contact.
It
is
on
the
city
staff.
Y
H
Our
goal:
no,
that's
really
the
way
it
should
be.
That
sounds
great
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
problems
that
there
always
is
with
this
kind
of
program
is
the
nomenclature
making
sure
that
you
know
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
is
telling
people
that
the
merchants
should
ask
for
the
outdoor
patio
team
or
is
that
what
it
is
that
or
the
downtown?
What's
the
name
of
the
team
see
I
already
didn't
get
it
right.
Y
G
H
Y
Sure
thank
you
for
the
question
again.
Currently
the
downtown
cleaning,
it
has
already
been
ramped
up
now
it
has
doubled.
It
was
happening
once
a
month
in
the
first
three
blocks
of
Castro.
During
the
past
few
years
it
has
been
increased
the
cleaning,
the
power
the
pressure
washing,
has
been
increased
to
twice
a
month.
Y
If
I'm
stating
this
wrong
John,
please
correct
me:
it
has
been
increased
in
the
first
three
blocks
because
of
the
extensive
views
with
the
outdoor
patios,
so
it's
been
increased
and
in
the
beyond
the
three
blocks,
it's
been
ramped
up
to
twice
a
month
along
along
sidewalks
in
Castro
and
the
cross
streets.
Oh.
I
It's
just
that
that's
a
much
more
intense
process,
including
having
to
have
furniture
and
other
items
moved
off
the
street
so
that
we
can
do
the
proper
cleaning.
So
that
is
planned
for
twice
a
year
in
the
street,
but
along
the
sidewalks
and
spot
cleaning
will
occur
as
Miss
Madonna
said
much
more
frequently.
That's.
H
Great
and
I
assume
that
if
there's
a
problem,
people
can
just
submit
something
through
S,
Mountain
View
and
it
will
get
routed
to
the
proper
people.
Okay,
great
then,
the
other
question
I
had
was
about
or
a
couple
more
one
is,
is
about
a
group
buy
for
the
furniture.
Are
we
going
to
be?
Are
we
working
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
perhaps
to
encourage
them
to
organize
that
I
know
that
you
said
that
the
city
was
not
organized?
Is
the
chamber
here
today?
H
Okay,
yeah
well
I.
Think
sometimes
you
know,
government
can
be
a
sort
of
a
facilitator
and
not
actually
take
care
of
the
the
nuts
and
bolts,
and
that's
that's
where
I
wanted
to
bring
it
up.
Okay
and
then
another
question
I
had
was
how
much
revenue
do
we
really
expect
to
get
from
this
outdoor
patio
fee
program.
I
Again,
thank
you
for
the
question
vice
mayor.
So
estimating
the
amount
of
Revenue
is
is
challenging
at
this
point,
because
it's
a
program
we
have
not
yet
initiated,
and
it
will
be
based
upon
the
num,
the
amount
of
Interest
we
get
the
applications
we
get
and
what
size
patios
they
want,
because
we
plan
to
be
flexible
and
work
with
the
businesses
in
terms
of
the
the
sizing
of
the
patios.
I
We
have
estimated
that,
based
upon
current
use
of
the
right-of-way
and
what
we've
already
heard
from
the
businesses
in
terms
of
their
interests,
we
could
have
between
40
and
60
businesses
participating.
We
can.
We
know
that
the
average
size
is
is
likely
to
be
in
the
range
of
about
540
square
feet
and
we
work
those
numbers
out.
We
could
see
that
the
revenue
coming
in
could
range
between
215
000
and
325
000
a
year.
H
Thank
you,
okay
and
then
last
one
is
this:
this
isn't
really
about
vacant,
storefront
fees
or
penalties.
This
is
really
about
operating
businesses,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
we
will
be
working
on
the
storefront.
The
vacant
storefront
issues
we
are,
we
will
be
working,
but
we're
just
that's
not
what
this
one
is
about.
I
H
V
H
V
I
may
and
council
member
show
Walter
I
just
also
want
to
clarify
that
we
do
have
a
separate
team
that
is
working
on
the
vacancies
downtown
right
now:
city
managers,
office
staff,
in
conjunction
with
city,
attorney's,
office
staff.
It's
also
going
to
be
part
of
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
that
the
consultant
is
working
on,
where
we
will
be
coming
back
with
some
ideas
and
solutions
for
Council
to
consider.
O
I
Forgot
what
we
call
it,
but
today
we
have
been
using
our
general
fund.
A
lot
of
this
work
is
done
by
staff,
mostly
community
services,
staff
for
maintaining
the
cleanliness
and
maintenance.
Also
Street
staff
comes
in
regularly
and
it's
just
using
our
existing
funding
sources.
Our
general
fund
thank.
O
A
So
not
seeing
other
Council
questions
I'll
ask
some
questions.
If
other
council
members
come
up
with
questions,
of
course,
you
can
ask
after
me,
so
first
a
couple
questions
on
things
that
members
of
the
public
were
interested
in
what
there
were
some
questions
on,
what
we're
doing
regarding
bikes
on
Castro
and
bikes
to
the
transit.
Stop.
My
understanding
from
being
on
the
downtown
ad
hoc
committee
is
that
that
will
be
dealt
with
under
our
active
Transportation
plan.
Can
you
confirm
that
that's
the
place
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
that
item.
I
I'll
just
know,
and
that
is
the
goal.
One
of
the
goals
of
the
active
Transportation
plan
is
to
identify
a
parallel
route,
say
Hope
Street
along
those
three
blocks
of
Castro
for
bicyclists
that
want
to
ride
through
for
bicyclists
that
wish
to
visit
the
Castro
Pedestrian
Mall
when
they,
when
they
do
approach
the
block
from
a
side
street
that
they
want
to
then
enter
the
pet
mall
they
will,
they
will
be
asked
to
walk
their
their
bike
there.
A
Thank
you.
There
are
many
moving
parts
to
improving
the
downtown
and
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
members
of
the
public
know
I
mean
I'm,
always
happy
to
hear
from
members
of
the
public.
Even
if
it's
not
the
the
exact
place,
we're
going
to
make
the
final
decision,
but
I
just
didn't,
want
people
to
feel
ignored,
and
then
there
was
a
question
from
a
member
of
the
public
about
whether
music
has
to
be
over
at
8
pm.
Y
Y
I
Well,
as
Miss
pedona
mentioned
it
is,
it
is
a
pilot
program.
One
of
the
things
we're
going
to
be
watching
is
to
see
if
there
is
live,
entertainment
in
one
patio
area.
Is
it
disruptive
in
any
way
shape
or
form
for
an
adjacent
patio
area
for
the
other
businesses,
or
does
It
Blend
in
well
work?
Well,
as
as
we
see
how
that
develops,
we
can
make
adjustments
to
this.
We
can,
if
we
get
many
requests
to
go
a
little
later.
I
We
can
explore
that
part
of
the
action
you're
being
asked
to
approve
tonight
would
give
authority
to
the
public
works
director
to
make
such
amendments
to
the
guidelines
without
having
to
keep
coming
back
to
council.
As
we
see
how
things
develop,
I
think
the
other
area
we're
going
to
always
want
to
be
concerned
about
is
while
this
is
Castle
Street
and
you
know,
has
a
bit
of
a
nightlife.
You
know
which
we
do
want
to
have
happen.
A
So
when
I
was
on
the
downtown
ad
hoc
committee,
there
was
one
of
the
items
people
tossed
around
a
little
was
the
idea
of
merchandise
displays
outdoor
Merchant
that
Merchants
can
have
their
merchandise
outside,
because
sometimes
that
can
frankly
be
a
mess
and
sometimes
but
it
could
be
nice
as
well.
So
I
just
want
to
know
the
nature
of
that
I.
Y
Right
right
now,
there
there
are
specific
guidelines
in
the
in
the
design
guidelines
of
the
patio
program
on
what
these
merchandise
this
place
could
look
like,
and
staff
will
continue
to
add
to
inspect
and
make
sure
the
businesses
are
complying
with
the
guidelines,
and
you
know
so.
We
we
did
add
some
guidelines
on
what
kind
of
items
should
be
displayed.
Y
You
know
how
it
should
look,
you
know
it
should
be
an
extension
of
what
they
are
displaying
inside,
so
not
for
sale
tracks
or
you
know,
oh
some
attractive
displays
that
actually
brings
a
business
to
to
downtown.
We
can
amend
you
know
if
the
guidelines
are
not.
You
know
if
Merchants
are
not
staying
compliant
with
the
guidelines
we
can
amend
in
the
future
or
re-evaluate
the
nature
of
the
pilot
for
this
activity
in
the
future.
A
A
The
other
thing
we're
trying
to
do
in
addition
to
allowing
outdoor
cafes
is
filling
vacancies
which
I
understand,
is
a
separate
program,
but
I'm
wondering
whether
it's
a
separate
program
that
has
costs
and
staff
costs
and
I
wonder
if,
if
we
reduce
fees,
maybe
one
time
if
that
makes
attracting
businesses
easier
or
is
there,
you
know
how
you
feel
about
that?
How
Mr
Lang
would
feel
about
that
or
if
there's
no
relation
between,
do
you
feel
there's
no
relation
between
the
the
setup
fees
for
outdoor
patios
and
attracting
businesses?
A
I
We're
going
to
go
ahead
and
invite
economic
fatality
manager
Lang
to
help
respond
to
that
I'll.
Note
that
for
now
it'll
only
be
you
know,
the
businesses
that
will
be
participating
are
the
ones
that
are
there
and
as
new
businesses
come
in
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
want
the
flexibility
that
nothing's
permanent.
We
can
move
things
around
that
you
know
we
hopefully
can
offer
outdoor
patio
areas
to
new
businesses
as
they
move
in
by
shifting
some
things
around
as
needed
with
the
public
spaces.
AC
AC
It's
an
added
benefit
to
actually
be
out
on
the
street,
but
first
and
foremost
does
the
building
conform
to
the
use.
You
need
it
for
so,
in
talking
with
other
communities,
don't
Envision
the
ten
dollars
a
square
foot
to
be
an
obstacle
or
an
impediment
to
leasing
space
I
I
would
like
to
just
footnote
I.
Think
it's
an
important
piece
of
the
puzzle
here.
AC
When
we
talk
about
allowing
space
and
going
through
a
licensing
processes,
there
are
opportunities
where
people
can
potentially
license
space
in
front
of
another
space,
but
part
of
that
process
is
we
want
people
to
get
approval
from
a
property
owner
or
a
business
owner,
that's
there,
and
that
is
good
for
a
year.
So,
if
some
point
in
time
things
change,
we
have
the
ability
to
capture
backspace
and
use
it
for
those
New
Uses
that
are
coming
on.
AC
So
we've
built
in
some
flexibility
to
Ms
Cameron's
Point,
some
flexibility
in
this
program,
so
as
things
change
and
as
the
street
evolves
with
different
uses,
we
have
the
ability
to
recapture
space.
If
that
does
occur,
recognizing
there
is
an
ebb
and
flow
to
the
business
cycle
and
what
the
attractive
space
is.
So
we
feel
like
the
ten
dollars.
A
square
foot
is
not
necessarily
a
huge
impediment
based
upon
current
market
rates
for
actual
build
space.
Today,.
AD
G
A
So
I
see
I
see
a
lot
going
on
here.
I'll
just
make
a
comment
myself
that
as
given
that,
given
that
my
questions
have
been
answered
and
that
this
is
a
pilot
that
we
can
adjust,
I'm
comfortable
with
the
staff
recommendation
and
I,
see
emotion,
council,
member
Abacoa.
What
is
your
the
comments?
First,
okay,
sure,
council,
member
Mattituck.
K
Thank
you
so
I
was
on
the
ad
hoc
committee
for
this
topic
and
I
certainly
had
a
lot
to
say
on
that
committee
and
I
do
appreciate
how
this
program
has
evolved.
I
appreciate
the
changes
that
have
been
made
in
response
to
not
just
the
committee
members,
but
members
of
the
public,
the
chamber
and
others
who
have
commented
and
I'm
really
happy
with
where
it
is
right
now.
F
F
I
I
know
that
it's
a
heavy
lift
but
for
at
least
me
I'm,
just
thrilled
to
see
the
evolution
and
to
see
the
collaboration,
I
was
really
happy
to
hear
from
Mr
Katz
in
public
comment.
The
chamber
has
been
a
wonderful
partner,
I
think
in
outreaching
with
the
businesses
and
the
robust
communication
plan.
I
think
is
really
what's
made.
It
successful
people
ask
me
all
the
time.
How
were
we
able
to
keep
Castro
closed
and
kind
of
evolve
to
this
program?
F
We
have
today
and
I
say
that
it
was
a
joint
partnership
with
you
know
our
community,
our
residents,
our
city
council,
our
staff
and
our
chamber
to
make
it
successful.
So
I
just
really
want
to
acknowledge
that,
because
we're
always
so
busy
doing
the
work
that
we
don't
always
get
the
opportunity
to
just
talk
about
what
a
gem
it
is,
as
other
cities
were
doing
away
with
theirs,
we've
been
able
to
implement
it
in
something
that
will
have
longevity,
so
I'm
thrilled
about
that.
F
A
And
I
just
I
just
want
to
Second
what
council
member
camay
said:
I
I,
since
it's
a
pilot
program
and
and
Public
Works
can
make
changes.
I'd
love
to
hear
I'd
love
to
have
some
feedback,
whether
it's
in
the
council
connection
or
some
other
Forum
on
you
know
what
those
changes
are,
what
what
feedback
you've
gotten
from
people
and
and
how
the
pilot
is
changing.
O
Yes,
mayor
I
drew
the
Short
Straw
here;
I
guess
sorry
chimed
in
too
early
and
before,
if
I
do,
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
staff.
I
joined
the
ad
hoc
committee
for
the
last
meeting,
but
by
then
quite
a
bit
of
all
of
this
has
been
worked
out
and
I
I
note.
The
extensive
number
of
meetings
and
Outreach
that
was
done
to
get
here
so
I
think
folks
are
just
really
excited
to
make
it
happen.

Passes
unanimously

Now
we
move

business
section
of
our
agenda.
First,
we.
The
first
item,
is
7.1,
which
is
the
American
Rescue
plan
act,
funding
for
small
businesses,
assistant
city
manager,
community
development,
director,
artesh
vastava,
an
economic
Vitality
manager,
John
Lang
will
present
the
item.
AC
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
council,
John
Lang
economic
Vitality
manager,
I'm
joined
by
assistant
city
manager
and
Community
Development,
director
RT
shivastava.
We
have
a
brief
PowerPoint
presentation
for
you
this
evening.
Talk
in
about
four
proposals
for
arpa
funding
that
Council
discussed
back
on
June
of
last
year.
The
discussion
at
Council
was
allocating
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
small
business
funds.
AC
The
feedback
we
got
from
Council
at
that
point
in
time
was
looking
to
do
a
program
potentially
around
sustained
businesses
that
were
going
through
Americans
with
Disability
Act
lawsuits
also
looking
to
provide
grant
funding
assistance
just
for
strictly
financial
assistance
and
then
also
looking
to
support
businesses
in
the
broader
Mountain
View.
Community
staff
is
coming
back
to
you
this
evening
with
four
proposals
to
break
out
the
funding
and
we're
going
to
dive
into
each
one
of
these
independently,
but
as
an
overview.
AC
The
four
are
a
facade
grant
program
in
total
amount
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
outdoor
Furnishing
grant
program
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars:
a
social
media
training
program
for
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
and
a
contract
Amendment
with
rethink
disposable
for
seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
All
four
of
these
programs
do
align
with
different
Council
priorities,
three
of
them
align
with
the
economic
Vitality
strategic
priority,
and
then
the
rethink
disposal
aligns
with
the
sustainability
and
climate
resiliency
diving
more
into
detail
about
the
facade
matching
grant
program.
AC
G
AC
New
sign
or
replace
a
door
that
may
not
be
ADA
Compliant.
The
this
program
is
envisioned
to
be
very
minimal,
facade
improvements,
not
full
exterior
facade
improvements.
The
grant
tiers
are
really
estimated
based
upon
the
type
of
work
and
the
approach
would
be
working
with
small
businesses
or
Property
Owners,
identifying
what
they're
looking
to
do,
what
tier
it
falls
into
and
then
working
through
the
city's
permit
process
in
doing
a
grant
reimbursement
program
around
that.
AC
The
second
program
is
a
grant
program
designed
to
support
the
replacement
of
outdoor
Furnishings
from
any
business.
That's
been
operating
outside
in
Mountain
View.
This
would
allow
for
up
to
forty
five
thousand
dollar
grants
for
businesses
to
replace
broken
chairs
tables
heaters
umbrellas,
anything
that
had
maybe
been
damaged
after
being
outside
for
the
last
three
years.
AC
The
third
program
is
to
amend
the
rethink
disposable
agreement.
This
program
is
currently
inexistent
in
Mount
View.
The
program
provides
assistance
to
Food
Service
businesses.
They
go
in,
they
audit
the
business.
They
look
for
opportunities
to
take
disposable
containers
that
are
used
for
dine-in
services
and
replace
those
with
reusable
materials.
The
classic
example
is
thinking
about
a
plastic
cup
that
you
may
put
condiments
in
take
into
the
table
that
gets
thrown
away.
This
program
goes
in.
Does
that
audit
they
will
maybe
suggest
a
Ramekin
or
some
other
reusable
type
of
device.
This
reduces
the
redu.
AC
AC
Two
lessons
learned
during
the
pandemic,
both
for
the
city
as
well
as
by
the
chamber.
City
staff
have
been
doing
some
analysis
on
small
businesses
that
utilize
social
media
versus
those
that
don't
and
can
looking
at
the
sales
tax
Trends,
we
have
seen
that
those
small
businesses
that
are
utilizing
social
media
have
had
a
quicker
return
or
recaptured
that
are
lost
sales
from
the
pandemic,
they're,
basically
back
at
their
pre-pandemic
levels.
There
is
a
very
strong
correlation
to
that.
Those
that
are
not
playing
actively
in
social
media
have
not
seen
quite
the
return.
AC
We've
also
heard
anecdotally
from
the
chamber
in
the
downtown
Business
Association
that
those
businesses
that
are
active
in
social
media
are
also
seen
greater
crowds
in
interest
in
their
businesses.
So
we
think
this
is
a
great
opportunity
to
partner
with
the
chamber
and
Implement
a
toolkit
program
for
small
businesses
to
be
educated
on
the
types
of
social
media
out
there.
What
are
the
resources
that
they
need
and
what
are
the
social
media
channels?
P
P
In
other
cases,
that's
just
the
Caterers
that,
like
they
know
the
kitchen,
they
can
handle
everything
and
they
just
happen
to
be
the
ones
that
that
venue
likes
to
work
with
a
lot
and
it's
easier
for
someone
who
who
decides
to
have
an
event
at
that
venue,
for
example,
are
do
we
do.
We
have
like
a
level
of
because
I
assume
that
there
have
been
facade
improvements
coming
before
staff
before,
and
there
are
probably
some
Architects
that
you
see
over
and
over
again.
P
AE
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Council
member.
Our
teacher
vastava
is
a
city
manager,
community
development
director.
What
we
do
is
when
somebody
typically
comes
in
they
do
need
a
designer,
and
staff
actually
is,
is
pretty
well
worsened.
Design
requirements,
they
they
have
a
preliminary
meeting
to
meet
with
the
team,
but
we
don't
typically
give
people
a
list
of
private
Architects
because
I
think
we
don't
want
to.
We
don't
want
to
play
favorites
with
certain
designers,
but
what
we
do
is
we
point
people
to
projects
that
have
moved
forward
successfully.
AE
In
the
past
there
had
been
a
program
when
we
were
still
a
Redevelopment
agency
with
the
city
hired
an
architect
to
provide
Design
Services.
So
that
was
another
example,
and
that
probably,
would
have
to
be
done
as
part
of
a
longer
term
program.
It'd
be
hard
to
just
do.
A
very
short
program
takes
a
while
to
get
someone
on
board,
so
those
are
two
examples
of
how
staff
can
help
appoint
them
to
successful
projects.
But.
To
answer
a
question:
we
can't
give
people
a
favored
list
of
private
Architects
because
that
that
would
be.
A
AC
AC
If
I,
remember
correctly,
50
businesses
to
engage
in
this
process.
They
have
had
some
adoption
from
the
local
businesses
a
big
part
of
it
is
they
do
the
audits,
the
audits
don't
always
necessarily
result
in
a
an
opportunity
to
make
the
changes.
There
may
be
other
requirements
that
are
needed
to
support
that,
but
they
do
go
through
a
process.
They
try
to
educate
businesses
about
what
they
can
do.
They
do
provide
recommendations
on
Alternatives.
AC
They
have
made
some
Investments.
We
think
there's
a
greater
opportunity
to
get
one
more
of
Mountain
View
involved
in
this
conversation,
but
two
it
does
align
with
a
lot
of
the
city's
policy
goals
and
so
we'd
really
like
to
continue
to
push
and
get
the
word
out,
especially
as
we're
looking
to
reduce
weight
streams.
There
is
also
a
goal
of
trying
to
reduce
the
takeout
container
issue
as
well,
so
there's
opportunities
to
also
provide
gentle
guidance
along
that
path
as
well
in
during
those
audits.
So
we
think
there's
a
win-win
Synergy
there.
AC
K
F
Thanks
mayor
I
think
that
this
I
might
have
asked
this
during
my
briefing
on
the
topic,
but
for
the
different
programs
for
the
small
businesses
we
will
be
able
to
provide
translation
services
or
some
of
the
forms
in
different
languages,
at
least
in
Mandarin
and
Spanish,
okay,
I'm,
seeing
a
Nottingham,
absolutely
okay,
great
yeah,
I,
didn't
I,
don't
remember
seeing
it
in
the
Council
report,
and
so
I
do
think
that
that
would
be
an
important
thing
to
highlight.
I
think
a
lot
of
our
small
businesses.
F
A
A
So
I've
worked
I
I
like
comment:
I
I,
like
these
programs.
A
lot
and
I
won't
go
into
details,
because
this
is
questions,
but
the
one
that
I
look
at
most
closely
is
the
facade
Improvement,
because
I
worked,
not
I
didn't
work
on
it,
but
I
worked
alongside
one
in
Oakland,
and
that
was
decades
ago,
and
it
was
very,
it
was
seminal
in
making
Oakland
really
some
of
the
very
run
down
streets
really
work
and
they
were
they
were
at
the
time
they
were
mostly
historic
buildings
and
getting
design.
A
A
Even
though
the
city's
spending
money
on
the
program,
So
and
I've
followed
those
programs,
as
they've
changed
over
the
decade
and
they've
decades
and
they've,
a
lot
of
them
have
really
become
not
just
about
historic
preservation,
but
about
celebrating
the
people
who
are
running
the
business
or
the
people
who
have
worked,
who
have
lived
in
the
area
for
over
the
past
hundred
years.
So
a
lot
of
celebration
of
different
immigrant
communities.
A
You
know
often
the
people
running
the
restaurants
are
great
at
cooking
food,
but
not
very
good
at
telling
their
story
visually
on
the
front,
facade
or
or
in
other
places.
So
I
agree
with
council
member
Ramos's
question
and
Mr
Cox's
question,
and
you
know
when
you
say,
staff
I'm
wondering
if
there's
a
way
we
can
strengthen
that,
because
I've
seen
you
know
I
kind
of
browsed.
What
different
cities
are
doing
because
I'm
interested
in
it
and
I
know
the
city
of
Sacramento.
Does
they
hire
they?
They?
A
G
A
If
you'd
like
and
they're,
not
the
only
ones
doing
it
they're
doing
it
in
like
LA
and
San
Francisco
and
places
around
the
country,
so
I'm
wondering
if
there's
a
way
that
we,
if
you
have
some
suggested
ways
and
whether
they
would
be
short-term
or
long
term,
to
kind
of
reinforce
the
design
assistance
aspect,
because
my
experience
is,
when
you
just
hand
out
money,
the
people
whose
facades
look
the
worst
don't
get
much
better,
because
the
reason
they're
the
worst
is
that's
not
their
strength.
Design
is
not
their
strength.
AE
You
know
kind
of
complete
this
program
and
we
saw
this
as
a
pilot
and
we
were
going
to
do
research
and
look
at
other
programs
so
that
if
we
were
to
develop
one
as
part
of
the
economic
Vitality
strategy,
I
think
we
would
certainly
look
at
the
city.
Hiring
services
and
I
did
see
some
some
of
the
examples
they
hired
window
dressers.
You
know
to
go
out
and
and
design
and
dress
windows.
AE
AE
We
do
use
the
design
Review
Committee
from
time
to
time,
but
we
don't
want
them
to
be
a
hold
up
to
the
process,
and
so
you
know
we
have
in-house
staff
who's
pretty
well
worsened
design,
and
the
idea
was
if
somebody
wanted
to
apply
for
a
grant
program.
We'd
we'd
have
the
downtown
team
or
the
the
business
team
meet
with
the
design
person
and
go
through
the
preliminary
discussion,
so
whatever
came
in
would
be
successful.
So
that
was
our
proposal
for
this
time
around,
but
we're
happy
to
make
any
revisions.
A
AE
I
mean
one
of
the
one
of
the
program
recommendations
could
be
looking
at
you
know.
What's
other
successful
cities
have
done
and
developing
some
kind
of
a
program
that
would
allow
maybe
the
hiring
of
Design,
Services
or
hiring
of
certain
things.
You
know
certain
Consultants
to
help.
If
the
city
hires,
then
we
can
offer
the
services
on
a
consultant
basis
and
we
wouldn't
hire
a
person
full-time.
The
idea
would
be
to
have
a
consultant
on
hand
if
necessary,
so
that
we're
not
spending.
AE
You
know
time
they're
not
going
to
use
on
the
on
the
particular
service.
So
that's
what
we
were
proposing
and
would
propose
as
part
of
the
broader
strategy
we
are
not
currently
proposing
it
primarily
because
it
takes
time
to
put
this
together,
probably
take
a
good
six
months
to
go,
find
people
talk
to
people
and-
and
we
didn't
want
a
lot
of
time
to
go
by,
but
it
certainly
could
be
part
of
the
longer
longer
strategy.
A
Yeah
and
I
really
think
the
the
other
thing.
Maybe
you
said
this
I
think
there
are
different
kinds
of
Design
Services.
There
are
people
who
are
really
who
their
background
is
historic.
There
are
other
people
who
do
window
displays,
I
actually
have
a
neighbor
who
does
really
good
ones
and
there's,
and
then
there
are
people
who
do
more
like
color
and
design
of
contemporary
buildings,
and
there
are
kind
of
three
different
Specialties.
So,
yes,
you
would
probably
want
to
have
various.
AE
We
would
certainly
want
we
certainly
want
to
have
someone
with
with
some
historic
background
for
the
historic
buildings,
and
then
you
know
there
might
be
other
city-wide
buildings
where
you
may
not
need
that
kind
of
architect.
So
we'd
look
for
more
than
one
one,
one
kind
of
design
professional
to
offer
those
services.
A
Okay,
okay,
that
sounds
good
I
guess
those
are
my
questions.
Oh,
you
know,
I
have
another
question
about
how
signage
will
be
dealt
with
because,
in
my
opinion
the
signage,
downtown
and
I
should
have
read
up
on
this.
But
it's
there's
a
lot
of
lightbox
signs
which
are
more
the
kind
of
sign
you
see
in
a
strip
mall
or
maybe
in
a
pretty
dated
strip
mall
at
that,
and
not
the
kind
of
signs
that
really
you
know
walkable
streets
usually
have
do
you
have
any
comments
on
how
we
might
upgrade
that.
AE
I
think
staff
has
several
ideas
and
usually,
when
somebody
comes
in
for
facade
Improvement,
you
can
immediately
see
the
difference
when
they've
gone
through
the
improvements,
primarily
because
they've
staff
has
kind
of
reviewed
their
project
and
provided
input.
A
lot
of
what
we
see
were
built
before
some
of
these
signed
guidelines
went
into
effect,
and
you
could
be
sure
that
anyone
who
comes
in
for
a
facade
Improvement
for
signs
will
get
that
initial
guidance
from
staff,
and
we
do
give
people
examples
of
work.
That's
been
done.
AE

M

Our
small
businesses-
this
is
a
thoughtful
and
necessary
infusion
that
can
have
a
real
impact
on
their
ability
to
recover
and
to
survive.
Some
quick
comments.
New
outdoor
furniture
is
very
costly,
so
relief
in
its
purchase
will
be
very
helpful
and
in
answer
to
the
question
raised
by
council
member
Showalter
on
group
purchases
of
furniture,
yes,
the
chamber
will
be
working
with
businesses
to
do
this
has
jaw
online
pointed
out.
Z
Social
media
has
proven
to
be
a
cost-effective
method
for
small
businesses
to
increase
awareness
and
sales,
and
yet
too
many
of
our
owners
and
managers
are
not
proficient
or
just
lack
the
bandwidth
to
take
full
advantage.
The
chamber
has
been
working
closely
with
the
city
on
tools
and
resources
that
should
help.
So
again,
this
funding
is
exciting.
With
regards
to
facade
dollars.
Z
This
too
is
important
and
exciting,
but
we
simply
asked
that
the
city
be
broad
enough
in
its
definition,
so
that
vital
repairs
that
may
or
may
not
be
cosmetic
but
are
critical
to
being
a
street-facing
storefront
and
I
mean
things
like
the
installation
of
ADA,
Compliant
ramps
or
widening
of
doorways
to
things
like
that
that
these
that
these
items
also
be
allowed.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
Hello
again,
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
getting
this
funding.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
great
for
our
downtown
businesses
and
also
have
a
couple
comments
and
suggestions.
I
wanted
to
kind
of
echo
what
mayor
Hicks
said
earlier
about
allowing
These
funds
to
be
used
for
window
displays,
hiring
designers
or
even
local
artists
to
put
up
murals
I
have
two
businesses
that
have
come
to
me
with
with
a
desire
to
put
up
murals
and
it
can
be
cost
prohibitive.
E
It
also
makes
sense
that
the
funding
should
be
able
to
be
used
for
necessary
repairs
and
ADA
compliance
as
Peter
Katz
mentioned
so
yeah,
whether
it's
it's
a
small
fix
that
just
really
needs
to
be
done
or
or
someone's
dreaming
big,
and
they
want
a
big.
You
know
beautiful
storefront
or
they
want
a
mural
I.
Think
flexibility
is
important
and
thank
you
for
going
after
the
spending.
A
H
And
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
up
was
related
to
the
social
media.
I
wondered
if
we
could
encourage
people
to,
or
we
might
want
to
to
partner
with
the
high
school
freestyle
Academy
program.
You
know
that
is
a
two-year
design
program
in
Mountain
View,
High
School
there.
There
could
be
also
something
at
Los,
Altos,
I
honestly,
don't
know,
but
but
the
freestyle
Academy
is
teaching
kids.
H
How
how
to
do
graphics
and
they're,
really
quite
good
at
web
design
and
and
Facebook
ads,
and
you
know
all
that
sort
of
thing
and
it
would
I
think
it
could
be
a
nice
Synergy
between
downtown
merchants
and
and
and
the
social
media
assistance.
So
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up
as
a
as
a
as
a
common
suggestion.
A
So
I'll
I'll
make
another
comment:
yeah
I,
actually
I
was
reminded
by
Mr
cupp's
comments
that
I
hadn't
brought
up
murals
or
interfacing
with
the
Visual
Arts
Committee
in
any
way,
which
I
think
might
be
helpful
again.
You
know
somebody
may
want
something
on
their
their
wall,
but
need
some.
It's
like
needing
a
designer
needing
an
artist
or
a
painter.
Has
there
been
any
thought
along
those
lines.
AE
AE
The
BAC
is
is
supportive
of
the
program,
but
but
if
we,
if
we
do
murals,
it
will
go
through
the
staff
level
review,
so
I
think
the
idea
is,
it
could
be
allowed
and
the
city
could
potentially
pay
for
it,
but
we
would
we
would
just
review
it.
For
you
know
if
it's
a
historic
building,
we
want
to
make
sure,
for
example,
that
it
fits
in
with
the
character
if
it's
a
different
kind
of
building,
so
we
would
go
through
our
typical
staff
review
process
for
a
facade
Improvement.
AE
A
K
AE
A
Actually
have
one
question
about
a
change
which
is
a
window
displays
were
not
in
there
at
all
and
often
there
some
of
them
are
pretty
bleak
and
they
can
be
pretty
inexpensive
to
have
somebody
do
them
for
you,
I'd
like
to
re.
Well,
maybe
I
need
to
wait
for
the
motion,
but
when
the
motion
is
made,
I'd
like
to
add
window
displays
as
a
friendly
Amendment
unless
you're
getting
it
so
the
motion
council,
member
Ramirez,
thank.
Q
Q
So
if,
if
we're
adding
so
my
preference
would
be
have
staff
evaluate
modifications
as
we
go
through
this
program
and
then
we
can
make
modifications
as
as
recommended
by
staff.
But
if,
if
there
is
majority
support
for
including
a
new
type
of
improvement,
then
we
would
have
to
specify
which
tier
it
would
fall
under
because
there's
a
maximum
amount
of
funding
based
on
the
improvements
that
are
proposed.
F
Yeah
I
I
think
I
support
that
amendment
I
would
I
would
think
it
would
just
be.
You
know,
after
sign,
removal,
comma
window
display.
That's
that's
how
I
would
see
the
change.
I
wouldn't
see
it
as
anything.
More
substantive
and
people
can
kind
of
I.
I
would
see
it
as
like
a
menu.
People
can
pick
and
choose
what
they'd
like
within
that
tier
or
they
could
choose
the
whole
thing
right
if
it
falls
within
that
budget,
so
I'm
comfortable.
Thank
you.
A
AF
AF
AG
I'm
going
to
Briefly
summarize
the
funding
recommendations
that
are
detailed
in
the
staff
report.
Next,
first
City
staff
recommends
allocating
169,
000
and
75
dollars
of
the
arpa
funding
to
City
programs
that
are
run
by
the
library.
They
include
Universal
class,
which
is
an
online
course
catalog
of
over
550
offerings
brain
fuses
job
now,
a
web-based
career
resource
that
includes
live
coaching
and
the
queer
online
high
school
program,
scholarships
and
stipends.
AG
Additionally,
staff
recommends
funding
partnership
programs
with
other
community-based
organizations
and
agencies,
including
working
Partnerships,
usas
trades
orientation
program,
which
provides
a
pre-apprenticeship
program,
and
this
would
cover
this
particular
funding.
Recommendation
would
cover
10,
Mountain
View
residents
Reserve
spots.
P
This
is
a
quick
one,
actually
more
toward
the
city
manager.
I
was
looking
through
the
questions
from
the
pre-question
packet
on
question
number.
Four:
it
asks
about
how
the
mompreneur
program
is
seeking
matching
funds
and
that
they
will
be
on
the
agenda
tomorrow
for
the
Board
of
Supervisors.
If
we
do
pass
the
funding
for
that
program,
is
it
possible
for
us
to
throw
in
a
quick
note
to
the
Board
of
Supervisors,
showing
our
support
for
that
matching
fund.
V
AH
A
AI
I'll
probably
be
quicker
so
good
evening,
mayor
city,
council,
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Jose
Cabrera
I'm,
one
of
the
members
of
Carpenters
Local,
405
I've
been
a
member
since
for
28
years
and
I'm.
Here,
simply
just
to
say
thank
you
for
supporting
the
trace
organization
program,
better
known
as
stop
program.
You
know
your
support
is
really
going
to
help
out
a
lot
of
folks
and
we
hope
that
this
support
continues
throughout
the
years.
Thank
you.
AJ
Thank
you,
mayor
council
members,
Louise,
our
Han
with
working
Partnerships
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
city
for
advancing
this
item
and
urge
your
support
for
the
staff
recommendation.
The
trades
orientation
program,
The,
Working
Partnerships
leads.
We
call
it
top
the
talk
program,
it's
one
of
those
that's
recommended
for
funding
and
we're
really
excited
for
the
opportunity
to
deepen
our
Outreach
and
relationships
with
Mountain
View
communities.
AJ
So
why
is
this
important?
As
you
all
know,
one
of
the
biggest
long-term
challenges
facing
many
of
our
community
members
is
access
to
livable
wage
family
supporting
careers.
The
registered
apprenticeship
system
and
Construction
in
California
can
provide
those
careers.
It's
an
amazing
opportunity
to
get
into
a
union
construction
job,
but
it's
very
challenging.
If
you
don't
have
family
or
know
someone
to
get
in,
there
are
just
in
our
area.
There
are
over
24
different
construction
trades.
AJ
Each
one
has
their
own
apprenticeship
with
different
state
standards,
different
requirements,
different
methods
to
get
in
it's
like
if
you
were
applying
for
a
college,
but
there
was
no
College
counselors,
no
College
Prep,
no
College
guides
it's
very
difficult
to
navigate
on
your
own
and
that's.
Where
top
comes
in
it's
something
that
was
developed
by
us,
the
unions
and
the
industry,
to
really
provide
that
Missing
Link.
AJ
AK
Good
evening
mayor
vice
mayor
and
City,
councilors
I'm
here
today,
I'm
a
resident
of
Redwood
City
but
I'm
here
today
as
a
board
member
of
Tiffin
The
Institute
for
families
and
nannies
I
commend
you
on
your
interest
in
reducing
the
disparities
between
different
people
here
in
Silicon,
Valley,
and
appreciate
you
supporting
both
the
economic
development
and
the
Workforce
Development
initiatives
and
hope
that
both
of
them
pass
Tiffin
has
been
expanding
into
Silicon
Valley.
Many
people
think
that
nannies
are
only
for
wealthy
people.
AK
AL
Right,
I'm,

I,
don't
speak
a

I'm
being
here
in
the
United

living

years.
I
am
studying
doing
a
graffiti
side
because
of
the
pandemic.
It's
getting
so
hard
for
my
family.
My
husband
couldn't
work
well
because
it
has
to
be
had
an
operation,
so
I
started
a
small
business
on
my
own.
AL
It's
doing
crafts
like
doing
balls
for
girls,
yeah
right
now,
I'm
working
all
about
graduations,
like
stalls
like
the
the
colors
I,
don't
know
how
to
use
cold
in
them,
but
I'm
trying
to
get
into
get
money
to
help
my
family
and
also
I
have
two
jungles
kids.
One
both
are
in
the
college

college
and
to
get
some
career
I

it's
kind
of
being
difficult.

The
population
we
historically
and
currently
serve
is
low-income,
Spanish-speaking
households,
whether
that's
at
the
Castro
Mistral
Latham
campus,
where
we
just
hosted
our
Dia
de
los
Ninos
event
and
over
a
thousand
community
members
came
together
or
Distributing
groceries
at
the
caltega
apartments.
We
have
a
rich
history
in
asking.
How
can
we
help
and
resoundingly
during
the
pandemic
to
current
women
are
asking?
How
can
we
sell
our
food?
We
need
jobs,
we
want
to
work
and
they're
here
they're
here
to
tell
you
about
what
they'd
like
to
do
and
I'm
glad
to
be
here.
Thank
you.

I've
been
working
with
Rich
potential
I'm
part
of
the
cafesia
and
I
know
her
hard.
The
work
because
Me
Myself
and
more
the
community
members
were
helping
to
get
some
money
during
the
coffee
time.
What
they
do
they
sew
in
clothes
they
sell
in
tamales
they
selling
pupusas

Like
many
of
the
sitting.
You

AD
They
you
try
the
tamales,
you
try
the
pozole

you
try
everything

thank
you
so
much
for
supporting
there
and
because
I
have
for
you
emails
and
when
they
selling
food
the
you
guys
purchase
so,
which
is
great,
but
they
want
more.
They
want
education.
They
want
it
to
be
successful
to
helping
their
kids
to
being,
like
the
other
member

keep
finish
her
school

like
us

you

could
support
her

any
way
possible.
She
she
wants
to
work
by
herself,
her
own
management,
and
it
would
really
benefit
her
children,
because
Child

very
expensive,

this
is
a
way
for

Her
name
is
Rosa
and
she
belongs
to
the
reach,
reach
mem
I'm,
sorry,
this
is
Rosa
and
she
belongs
to
the
breach.
Potential
staff
and
she's
really
excited
to
be
here
tonight.
Just
to
to
be
aware,
and
just
to
know,
you
that
she's
here
to
support
all
the
families
and
moms
and
moms
that
couldn't
make
it
tonight
and
also
the
moms
from
our
the
RVs
that
are
located,
and
they
also
are
wanting
to
continue
with
this
project.
AM
A
E
Hey
it
was
really
great
hearing
all
this
public
commentary
from
all
of
our
working
parents
who
are
working
hard
on
their
small
businesses.
I
think
it's
great
to
see
these
kind
of
micro
businesses
like
food
carts
and
food
stands.
Food
trucks
have
more
opportunities,
so
I
hope
they
can
continue
to
support
that
and
give
them
resources
such
as
ghost
kitchens
or
commercial
kitchens
that
they
can
apply
for
space
in
and
use
I
totally
support
this.
E
This
reach
SV,
is
it
and
and
all
the
other
programs
mentioned,
there's
just
a
lot
of
cool
programs
that
I
didn't
know
about.
So
you
know
I
hope
this
passes.
It
sounds
like
it's
going
to
pass,
but
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
think
for
the
for
the
this
is
something
that
we
can
do
to
help
these
micro
businesses
immediately
like
right
now,
but
in
the
more
medium
term,
I
think
the
city
should
consider
what's
the
next
step
up
for
these
businesses.
E
If
someone
starts
out
as
a
food
cart
or
a
tiny,
a
tiny
business
like
that,
then
I
think
we
need
to
have
stepping
stones
in
place
and
support
so
that
they
can
get
go
from
carts
to
truck
and
from
a
truck
to
maybe
a
food
Hall
like
a
cafeteria
style
thing
with
with
low
rent,
where
they
can
try
their
hand
at
growing
their
business
and
those
resources
could
really
help
these
micro
businesses
become
small
businesses
become
bigger
over
time.
So
thank
you
very
much.
E
N
A
Q
When
we
emerge
from
the
pandemic,
there
would
be
jobs
available
to
our
community,
but
I
think
we.
We
also
recognize
that
that
money
is
not
infinite
and
eventually
we
would
exhaust
the
funding
that
we've
allocated
for
rent
relief
and
direct
financial
assistance
and
what's
really
attractive
and
Powerful
about
Workforce
Development.
Is
that
we're
helping
people
get
access
to
the
education
that
they
will
need
to
make
a
living
for
the
rest
of
their
lives?
It's
not
just
a
one-time
check.
Q
You
know
that's
great
for
a
month,
but
you
know,
if
you're
not
able
to
get
a
job
that
you
need
to
remain
in
our
community.
That
check
is
only
going
to
go
so
far,
so
I'm
really
excited
to
to
explore
something
that
is
new
to
our
city
and
it's
providing
a
substantial
investment
in
a
variety
of
programs.
Q
Some
City
sponsored
programs,
but
also
programs
that
are
offered
by
some
new
and
existing
non-profit
partners
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
doing
a
tremendous
job
reaching
out
and
identifying
potential
partners
that
we
can
work
with.
It's
really
a
testament
to
your
work
that
you
found
so
many
and
and
have
I
think
come
forward
with
a
robust
set
of
programs
that
provide
different
opportunities
to
different
segments
of
the
population.
So
it's
all
very
exciting
a
lot
of
great
work
tonight.
D
A
O
O
One
is
what
we're
fortunate
that
we
had
the
second
installment
two
I
wanted
to
just
acknowledge
that
it's
really
because
we
as
a
city
have
been
in
a
financially
strong
position
that
we
were
able
to
use
these
funds
not
to
necessarily
have
to
backfill
our
cities,
services
and
programs,
which
other
cities
admittedly
have
had
to
do.
But
we
were
able
to
use
this
really
to
to
get
it
back
out
to
the
community
and
assist
our
our
community
members.
O
So
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
Community
Partners
who
are
coming
forward.
I
do
remember,
I
mentioned
it
somewhere
and
that
we
were
going
to
do
this
and
there's
just
like
the
lies
eyes
lit
up
and
so
there's
you
know.
Obviously,
a
lot
of
great
interest
and
I
appreciate
staff's
work.
I'm,
really
pleased
at
the
the
diversity
of
Partnerships
that
we've
res
we've
seen
we've
had
we
have
and
to
be
offering
to
be
able
to
offer
a
variety
of
Workforce.
O
V
P
P
P
Several
years
ago,
I
was
laid
off
of
a
job
that,
after
seven
years
working
there
and
it's
it's
very
interesting
when
you,
when
you
identify
your
life
around
your
job
and
then
you
lose
it
and
then
that
that
that
you're
able
to
kind
of
get
over
because
you're
here
in
Mountain
View
in
Silicon
Valley,
where
there's
so
much
opportunity
right
and
then,
as
time
went
on.
You
realize
that
sometimes,
even
though
you
can
see
that
opportunity,
there's
always
there
could
be
something
missing
that
that
prevents
you
from
getting
that
opportunity.
P
P
So
I.
It's
one
of
the
strange
things
when
you're
new
on
Council.
So
much
of
the
work
has
done
before
you
even
arrive,
and
so
when
we
finally
do
like
that
stamp
of
approval,
you
kind
of
get
credit
for
it.
But
I
really
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
for
really
pushing
for
this
and
and
building
ahead
this
these
kinds
of
programs
and
and
this
opportunity
for
our
community.
P
D
F
I
do
have
a
question,
and
this
is
for
staff
I'm,
not
sure
who
just
a
an
understanding
of
the
translation
for
tonight.
So
I
know
we
had
someone
online
is
that
only
for
someone's
calling
in
Via
zoom
and
if
people
are
listening
on,
Zoom
or
because
I
think
part
of
what
we
had
worked
on
as
a
council.
I
thought
in
the
evolution
of
the
multilingual
outreach
program
was
that
we
I
think
in
the
past
had
like
the
ear
translations.
We
had
in-person
translations
and
well.
V
Thank
you,
councilmember
kame
I
think
there
was
some
confusion,
so
our
translator
was
going
to
be
translating
for
those
in
the
audience.
But
since
there
was
someone
here
in
person
she
didn't
and
then
I
think
we
were
going
to
try
and
translate
what
the
Community
member
was
saying
in
English
back.
But
there
was
some
delay
with
that.
So
we
will
make
sure
that
next
time
that
that's
a
little
more
clear
between
staff
behind
the
scenes.
A
H
Yeah
I
just
like
to
Echo
what
many
people
have
said
and
I've
been
thinking
about.
The
adage
give
a
man
a
fish
and
you
feed
him
for
a
day.
Teach
him
how
to
fish,
and
you
feed
him
for
a
lifetime.
I
thought
it
was
a
Benjamin
Franklin
quote,
but
I
just
looked
it
up
and
it
they
and
Google
says
it
allows
you
which
is
a
taoism.
So
whatever
I
think
it's
it's,
it's
sort
of.
It
summarizes
what
Workforce
Development
is
about.
A
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
so
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion
as
well.
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
to
conclude
by
saying
that
I
really
loved
all
the
ideas
that
the
different
partners
brought
forward.
I
thought
they
were
I
think
that
they
all
are
things
that
can
really
add
to
our
community,
in
addition
to
they
sound
like
viable
jobs,
I
think
in
particular
thinking
about,
for
example,
the
mompreneurs
idea
that
you
know
a
lot
of
things
that
you
that
you
would
sell.
A
So
with
a
lot
of
families
that
have
two-person
workers,
I
think
that's
a
really
viable
idea
and
and
and
who
doesn't
want
to
start
their
own
restaurant
I
know
when
I
when
I
was
reading
the
staff
report
at
home.
My
children
asked
if
they
could
join
the
program
as
well
so
and
I
agree
with
what
one
of
the
the
public
speakers
said
is
I
hope
it's
a
first
step
to
other
other
job
opportunities.
A
Maybe
you
don't
have
to
stop
with
a
food
cart,
but
the
the
other
things
on
this
menu
of
options,
I
think
are,
are
really
viable
too.
I,
like
that,
the
the
day
Worker
Center
Gardening
Skill
training,
was
going
to
incorporate
some
of
the
new
kinds
of
gardening
that
are
happening,
not
just
the
mow
and
blow,
but
the
you
know
the
dry,
Gardens
and
Native
Gardens
and
some
of
the
biodiversity
gardening.
That
council
is
talking
about.
A
Also
the
there's
I,
hopefully
there's
a
link
to
Foothill
College
there,
because
I
know
they
have
a
some
landscaping
courses
as
well,
and
then
there
were
were
a
whole
bunch
of
others,
there's
certainly
a
shortage
of
construction
workers.
So
I
was
very
happy
to
to
read
that
the
trades
stepped
up
bike
repair.
I
really
think
we
need
more
people
schooled,
and
that
is
the
reason
I
often
don't
bike
is
that
it's
I
can't
find
a
place
to
get
it
fixed
and
our
bike
stores
are
closing
one
after
another.
A
AW
Good
evening,
Madam,
mayor
and
city
council
I'm
Max
bozell
I'm,
serving
as
your
interim
police
chief
and
it's
my
pleasure
tonight
to
present
to
you
AB
481,
the
annual
report
for
militarized
equipment
tonight,
I'll
provide
you
a
background
of
the
bill
as
well
as
give
you
an
overview
of
the
categories.
The
use
of
our
equipment
last
year
talk
about
the
intended
purchases
that
we.
X
AW
May
of
last
year,
the
council
approved
the
ordinance
7.22
and
adopted
the
policy
for
the
police
department
governing
military
equipment,
which
also
has
annual
requirements.
Concerning
an
annual
report
that
is
presented
at
a
community
engagement
meeting.
This
was
done
on
April
27th
as
part
of
the
psab
process,
as
well
as
have
you
review
the
annual
report
and
renew
the
ordinance.
So
if
you
so
choose
and
then
also
post,
the
annual
report
online,
which
has
been
done
already,
the
bill
has
15
categories.
AW
Some
considerations
of
the
use
they're
highly
specialized
in
nature
and
they're
used
under
restrictions
of
various
policies
and
procedures,
as
well
as
training.
We
do
a
number
of
after
action
reports
for
incidents
that
occur
both
regionally
and
nationally,
to
ensure
that
we're
using
the
equipment
to
the
best
practices
that
the
industry
provides,
as
well
as
evaluate
the
continuing
use
or
even
need
for
new
equipment,
and
most
of
the
equipment
requires
mvpd
leadership,
notification
and
incident
command
approval.
In
the
event
we
were
to
use
that
equipment
in
an
operation.
AW
It
can
only
be
deployed
by
a
Personnel
who
are
trained
and
in
some
cases,
certified
and
we
do
store
the
equipment
at
the
police
department.
The
patrol
rifles
which
go
in
the
patrol
vehicles
are
locked
in
the
patrol
cars
during
their
operations
with
officers,
but
once
they're
returned
they're
returned
to
an
Armory
and
stored
there.
AW
We
use
our
Command
and
control
vehicles
at
high
risk
operations
and
commonly
at
concerts
special
events,
and
you
may
even
see
them
at
the
downtown
Art
and
Wine
Festival
the
specialized
arms
and
ammunition,
as
well
as
kinetic
energy
weapons
impact
weapons,
less
lethal
weapons
are
deployed
for
at-risk
high-risk
incidents.
Swat
call
outs,
some
Patrol
calls
that
they
may
be
utilized.
It
should
be
noted,
though,
that
as
we
deploy
them
operationally,
they
have
not
been
fired.
So
when
we
say
they
were
used,
they
were
not
actually
fired
for
the
intent
of
a
use
of
force.
AW
Predominantly
we
use
the
equipment
and
training
and
certification
all,
but
one
we
haven't
last
year
used
our
explosive,
breaching
and
training,
but
the
other
categories
we
did
with
most
of
the
items
that
are
in
those
categories.
Some,
for
example,
we
have
older
equipment
that
is
still
in
inventory,
but
is
not
used,
so
that
was
not
used
during
operations
or
for
training
and
certification,
and
that's
reflected
on
this
slide
here,
which
includes
our
explosive
breaching
and
some
of
our
specialized
Firearms
Munitions
and
kinetic
energy
weapons,
which.
E
AW
AW
This
is
an
area
of
Effectiveness
that
we're
seeing
in
the
industry
where
you
can
use
small
drones
to
travel
inside
homes
and
look
ahead
of
where
officers
may
have
to
travel
in
person
for
protecting
them
as
they're
engaging
an
incident
within
a
building
or
a
house,
and
we're
also
looking
at
replacing
equipment.
Typically,
we
go
through
during
training
such
as
ammunition
and
the
total
request.
Just
under
95
000,
the
drones
were
proposing
using
asset
forfeiture
funds,
and
then
the
remaining
is
through
our.
AW
The
other
comment
that
I
heard
was
related
to
policy
concerning
the
transfer
or
destruction
of
equipment
that
we
don't
use
currently,
and
we
do
have
City
policies
around
that,
but
not
a
department
policy,
but
I
think
it
would
be
beneficial
for
the
police
department
to
adopt
guidelines
and
policy
with
the
disposal
or
transfer
of
equipment.
That's
categorized
as
military
equipment,
so
we'll
be
looking
at
that
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
AW
AW
We
do
have
future
planned
purchases
which
I've
highlighted
and
then
the
public
comments
which
I've
highlighted
as
well.
So
the
staff
recommendation
is
for
your
consideration
to
adopt
renew
our
city
ordinance
7.22,
your
alternatives
are
to
decline
the
renewal
or
give
further
Direction
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
I'll
ask
just
one
question
and
we
may
be
talking
to
the
same
people,
because
I
got
a
question
from
a
member
of
the
public
about
how
you
dispose
of
the
equipment,
and
you
said
you
said
you
there's
City
policies,
but
not
a
departmental
policy.
What
do
you
mean
by
city
for
disposing
of
City
equipment
like
chairs
or
or
maybe
you
can
give
me
a
little
more
detail
on
what
the
city
policy
is
for
and
how
it
relates
to
the
Department
of.
AW
AW
The
military
equipment
is
a
little
bit
different
and
I.
Think
there
are
concerns
about,
for
example,
are
our
fully
automatic
weapons
which
we
we
don't
currently
utilize
operationally,
but
have
on
hand
whether
it
would
be
prudent
for
the
Department
to
dispose
of
those,
as
opposed
to
looking
to
trade
them
in
or
seek
a
value.
In
return
for,
for
that.
A
AW
P
AW
P
I
I
had
a
comment
from
someone.
It
was
more
in
passing,
but
someone
mentioned
that
they
didn't
think
that
was
a
community
meeting
I
guess,
because
in
Mountain
View
we're
used
to
having
the
type
of
community
meetings
where
they
have
giant
maps
and
dots
I,
don't
know
how
that
would
translate
to
this,
but
are
there
ways
that
we
can
be
more
engaging
of
the
public
that
they're
used
to
being
engaged
with
when
it
comes
to
community
meetings?
I
wouldn't
know
how
that
would
work,
but
I'm.
AW
So
I
think
some
of
the
comments
I
heard
listening
to
the
recording
was
surrounding
the
Public
public
notification
and
perhaps
using
social
media
more
effectively.
You
know
perhaps
talking
with
staff
and
the
city
manager's
office,
about
ways
in
which
we
may
be
able
to
improve
Community
engagement
at
that
process.
V
Mayor
if
I
may
thank
you
councilmember
Remo,
so
just
to
bolster
what
the
police
chief
said.
So
when
this
law
was
first
passed
and
we
tried
to
determine
what
would
be
the
most
effective
way
for
the
community
to
hear
about
this,
we
believe
that
having
it
via
the
psab
was
going
to
get
the
most
Community
engagement,
because
that's
what
they
what
they
do.
So
we
will
certainly
take
the
feedback
that
was
received
this
year
about
publicizing
it
more.
V
But
I
would
recommend
that
we
still
keep
that
as
the
community
meeting
just
because
they're
the
body
that
talks
about
these
items
and
they
also
have
really
robust
public
engagement
with
their
medians.
Usually
so
we
will
certainly
work
on
publicizing
it
better,
but
I
do
think
it's
the
best
forum
for
that
to
be
the
public
meeting.
AN
A
AB
Greetings
all
and
thanks
for
bringing
and
bringing
this
item
on
the
agenda
I'll
just
give
a
brief.
A
brief
mention
about
the
psab
meeting.
I'm,
actually
I'm
a
little
bit
of
a
one
of
those
psab
engaged
people
I've
been
to
not
quite
all
of
the
meetings
but
I
think
if,
for
this
a
B
I
forget
the
exact
number
sir.
AB
Think
that
the
the
the
considerations
that
I
heard
the
the
police
chief
saying
with
regards
to
that
were
more
good
ones
to
keep
going
forward.
But
demilitarizing
removing
weapons
of
war
from
our
streets
seems
like
a
good
idea,
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
of
drones
seems
like
kind
of
a
lot
and
maybe
even
if
it's
coming
from
for
his
asset
seizure.
Now.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
A
H
Yeah
I
have
two
reports
that
I
want
to
tell
you
about
and
I'm
going
to
really
be
sending
you
presentations
through
Heather
about
them.
One
is
a
bcdc
meeting
where
we
had
a
presentation
on
the
cost
of
sea
level
rise
implementation
and
it.
The
bad
news
is
that
it
will
it's
estimated
to
cost
approximately
110
billion
dollars
to
protect
the
entire
Bay
Area
region.
H
O
Thank
you
mayor
a
week
week
or
two
ago.
Time
is
so
that's
weird
I
attended,
MTC
Retreat,
where
we
discussed
the
state
of
transportation
and
as
I
know,
as
many
of
you
have
probably
read
it
and
heard
about
the
physical
cliff
that
several
of
the
agencies
are
facing.
We
would
discussed
the
future
funding
challenges
of
transportation
and
it
tied
into
some
ballot
measure.
O
There
was
also
discussion
about
potentially
going
out
for
a
transportation
measure
down
the
road,
not
at
the
same
time,
but
just
the
need
for
obviously
for
more
transportation
funding
the
positive
there
was
a
pulling
the
done
and
results
of
the
polling.
The
the
positive
is
that
people
do
seem
to
Value
transportation
and
Transit.
O
The
the
challenge
is
obviously
the
funding.
The
funding
would
piece
to
all
that
so
more
to
come.
I
attended
a
chair
of
the
VTA
ad
hoc
grade
separation
committee
and
I
know.
We
talked
about
it
earlier
in
our
CIP,
the
art
Mountain
View
projects
are
moving
along.
There
we've
the
city,
submitted
Grant
applications
to
the
federal
government
and
where
should
be
hearing
from
them
this
Summer,
you
know
with
vice
mayor
when
we
were
in
DC.
O
We
talked
we
met
with
the
administration
folks,
and
they
mentioned
that
so
fingers
crossed
on
that
also,
the
as
a
whole
Caltrain
is
moving
to
or
they're
working
on
a
overall
comprehensive
rail
Corridor
study.
So
looking
at
all
of
the
grade
separations
together
to
see
how
they
can
better
coordinate,
potentially
consolidate
for
efficiencies
so,
which
is
great,
I
was
I've,
been
concerned.
I
don't
want
our
projects
to
get
slowed
down
because
of
this
comprehensive
View
and
have
been
assured
that
that
is
not
the
case.
O
We
used
to
call
it
the
general
membership
meeting,
but
we're
going
to
change
it
to
something
like
the
annual
membership
dinner.
So
all
council,
members
and
City
staff
will
be
invited
to
this.
It's
on
June,
15th
Thursday
evening
and
it'll
be
at
the
Los
Altos
Community
Center.
The
theme
is,
will
be
sustainability
and
we
will
be
having
a
cooking
demonstration
with
induction
cooking
along
with
dinner
and
some
speakers.
This
is
a
partnership
with
Silicon
Valley,
clean
energy,
they're
sponsoring
the
event,
as
well
as
joint
venture
Silicon
Valley,
so
encourage
all
of
you
to
please
attend.
K
Although
it's
now
changed
its
name
for
the
other
airports
in
Santa,
Clara,
County
and
I
have
two
other
things
given
what
seems
to
be
a
different
understanding
of
what
the
policy
is
around
having
a
meeting
past
10
o'clock.
Technically
the
policy
is,
we
don't
start
a
new
topic
past
10
o'clock,
but
we
seem
to
just
say:
let's
continue
the
meeting
past
10
o'clock,
so
maybe
we
ought
to
just
simplify
that
policy
and
change
it
to
what
other
cities
have
I.
K
U
A
K
Yeah,
instead
of
you
know,
technically
the
policy
is
but
we've
everybody
says
something
different,
that
we
don't
start
a
new
topic
past
10
o'clock,
but
our
meeting
might
you
know
there
might
be
three
or
four
topics
or
you
know,
we've
never
really
done
that
when
it
comes
to
items.
Eight,
nine
and
it's
item
eight
in
Utah.
Well
different
people
have
different
interpretations
of
that.
So,
let's
just
simplify
it
and
say
past
10
o'clock
or
it
could
be
past
midnight.
Okay,.
K
Then
I
have
one
other
I
was
recently
speaking
with
our
City
attorney
about
codifying
previous
Council
direction
that
had
not
yet
been
included
in
our
Council
policies,
and
one
item
that
we
discussed
was
what
is
typically
mentioned
in
item
8
itself
and
that's
the
council
staff
committee
parts
department.
We
are
in
now
and
there's
already
error
policy
A2
on
what's
required
to
be
mentioned,
and
that
is
when
the
city
expends
money
on
something
we're
doing,
such
as
attending
a
conference
or
a
meeting.
K
That
is
a
requirement,
but
at
the
council
team
building
meeting
on
January
29
2019,
that's
when
we
talked
about
you
know
lots
of
different
things,
and
one
of
them
was
how
could
we
improve
the
efficiency
of
our
meetings
and
one
council
member
suggested
that
for
item
eight?
In
addition
to
the
requirements
we
disclose
information
on
the
regional
boards,
like
we
typically
do
but
report
outs
on
other
activities
like
social
events
or
ceremonies
or
things
along
that
line
are
not
reported
out
during
that
time.
K
K
So
that
is
what
we
decided
at
that
Retreat,
but
it
wasn't
ever
codified,
and
now
we
have
a
different
makeup
of
the
council,
so
I
thought
I
would
bring
it
up
here
to
see
if
folks
are
still
supportive
of
that,
or
should
we
send
it
back
to
the
cppc
or
send
it
to
the
cppc.
It
never
went
there,
but
I
I
would
like
to
get
that
codified
in
our
Council
policies.
K
F
Sure,
yes,
you
know
I
would
even
be
so
comfortable
as
just
what
is
required
per
A2
and
I
feel
like.
There
are
quite
a
few
attachments
that
colleagues
send
through
the
city
clerk
and
maybe,
if
there's
information
from
one
of
your
Regional
bodies
and
then
we
can
get
it
via
that
way,
I'm
comfortable
with
just
going
back
to
the
original
A2
policy,
which
is
just
I,
think
a
little
bit
of
a
simpler
version,
and
then
colleagues
can
send
around
the
attachments
via
the
clerk.
F
If
that's
okay,
because
I
do
think,
some
of
the
policy
topics
have
been
pretty
robust
and
so
getting
that
information
with
the
attachments
has
been
something
that
I
click
on
and
read
when
I,
when
I
have
the
capacity
to
do
so
so
I
would
support
that
or
even
go
back
to
the
original
policy.
If
colleagues
were
open
to
that,
thank
you.
A
K
H
Guess
I'd,
like
I,
like
the
I,
like
Lisa's
requirement,
better
I,
think
that
these
Regional
bodies
are
really
interesting
to
hear
about,
and
the
other
thing
is,
but
I
do
think
we
want
to
get
keep
the
the
reports
pretty
short
because,
frankly,
at
this
time,
we're
tired
and
we
don't
absorb
as
much
information
as
so.
They
should
be
short.
