A
A
Here
now,
we'll
move
on
to
item
number
three
public
comments
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
We
do
have
a
study
session
this
evening
on
strategic
initiative
and
a
discussion
of
potential
downtown
ad
hoc
committee.
It's
not
related
to
that
and
you
wish
to
speak.
This
would
be
the
time
to
please
raise
your
hand
and
we
will
go
ahead
and
call
on
you.
A
C
C
Mayor
members
of
the
city,
council
and
members
watching
at
home,
javon
grogan
city
manager,
I'm
here
to
kick
off
our
presentation
of
the
strategic
initiative
updates
I'll
begin
from
here.
Then
I'll
sit
back
down
as
we
go
through
details
and
answer
questions
just
a
quick
overview.
The
objective
is
to
provide
the
city
council
with
an
update
on
funded
and
unfunded
strategic
initiatives.
C
This
is
really
high
level
update.
These
new
initiatives
were
adopted
for
the
fiscal
year
beginning
july
1
and
we
did
commit
to
give
quarterly
updates.
But
what
I
wanted
to
do
is
early
on,
because
not
everything
was
able
to
be
funded
in
the
budget.
Come
back
to
the
city
council
and
give
you
a
very
brief
high
level
update
and
let
you
know
what
we're
working
on.
C
In
addition,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
council
member
medina
requested
and
the
city
council
supported
a
discussion
with
regard
to
the
establishment
of
a
potential
downtown
ad
hoc
committee,
and
you
guys
all
received
a
powerpoint
from
council
member
medina
and
so
following
the
strategic
initiatives
discussion,
I
believe
the
mayor.
I
will
turn
the
meeting
over
to
council
member
medina,
who
will
then
give
that
presentation.
C
I
said
this
already
quarterly
updates.
I
know
the
city
council
knows
this,
but
as
a
reminder,
we
will
be
providing
four
quarterly
updates
for
each
quarter
of
the
fiscal
year.
At
this
point,
we
are
roughly
or
a
little
bit
over
halfway
through
the
first
quarter
and
then
the
second
quarter
begins
in
october
and
so
on
and
so
forth
wanted
to
begin
again.
C
They
do
change
over
time
and
they
are
intended
to
be
fluid
in
nature,
but
reflect
the
city
council's
primary
areas
that
they
would
like
concentration
on
strategic
initiatives
underpin
the
priority
focus
areas
they
are.
This
is
an
important
note,
typically,
in
addition
to
the
regular
work
effort
for
city
operations
in
capital,
improvement
projects
and
the
city
council
furthered
that
this
year,
because
we
took
out
all
of
the
capital
improvement
projects
and
initiatives
that
were
related
to
the
regular
workload
of
staff
and
council
really
wanted.
C
It's
important
to
note
that
these
are
not
in
priority
order,
but
they
are
the
priority
areas
of
focus.
So
your
strategic
initiatives
for
fiscal
year
2122
there
are
42
individual
initiatives.
At
this
point
we
have
completed
three
in
just
a
short
amount
of
time.
Most
of
those
are,
I
believe,
all
of
those
were
sort
of
things
that
were
in
progress,
but
not
yet
done
at
the
end
of
the
last
fiscal
year.
C
So
at
a
high
level,
I
have
a
few
slides
that
will
go
over
the
completed
strategic
initiatives
and
then
I'd
like
to
walk
through
that
matrix
that
you
have
one
by
one
and
give
just
a
brief
highlight.
But
the
three
completed
strategic
initiatives
was
our
traffic
calming
measures
and
speed
bump
repaving,
we'll
talk
more
about
that.
It
was
really
taking
a
holistic
look
at
how
that
process
works,
execution
of
our
cost
allocation
plan
and
user
fees.
C
C
C
I
know
council
member
medina
will
get
up
and
provide
the
presentation
and
there'll
be
a
council
discussion
about
a
potential
downtown
ad
hoc
committee,
as
we
were
going
through
the
strategic
initiatives
and
looking
at
them,
it
was
clear
that
a
number
of
them
actually
relate
to
to
downtown
20
of
the
42
are
actually
related
to
downtown,
either
directly
or
indirectly.
So
I
wanted
to
call
those
out.
It's
installation
of
parking
meters
weight,
finding
signage
the
short-term
parking
strategies
for
downtown
the
temporary
loading
zones.
C
Trash
receptacles
newspaper
racks,
the
downtown,
greening
and
landscaping
plan
posey
park
centennial
park,
cannabis
regulations.
I
know
a
number
of
council
members
have
talked
about
potentially
having
cannabis
retailers
in
the
downtown.
Certainly,
the
street
closures
downtown
the
east-west
sweeping
issue,
while
not
solely
related
to
downtown,
certainly
downtown,
is
on
the
east
side.
C
City-Wide
parking
programs
certainly
effective
in
the
downtown
area,
cleaning
san
bruno
again,
indirectly
related,
affordable
housing.
We've
talked
about
having
housing
in
the
transit
quarters
plan
downtown
and
same
thing
with
the
with
the
partnerships
with
with
developers,
certainly
economic
development,
and
that
new
position
that
the
city
council
approved
related
to
downtown
small
business
attraction
related
to
downtown
district
elections.
I
put
there
because
should
the
city
council
proceed
with
districts,
there
will
certainly
be
a
district
that
encompasses
downtown
so
potentially
a
greater
focus
there
and
then
culture
and
arts
committee
review.
C
We
talked
a
lot
about
having
more
culture
and
arts
and
murals
and
things
downtown.
So
again,
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
for
council
that
a
number
of
your
initiatives
nearly
half
are
on
some
way
related
to
downtown.
So
that
concludes
the
powerpoint
presentation.
I
do
want
to
sit
down
and
pull
up
that
the
matrix
that
we
provided
to
you.
C
C
Of
your
priority
areas
of
focus-
and
so
I
just
want
to
want
to
highlight
a
few
of
them-
that
I
know
council
has
been
interested
in
installation
of
parking
meters.
This
project
is
linked
with
wayfinding
signage
funded
at
225
000..
It's
important
to
note
that
that
is
seed
funding
as
we
investigate
parking
meters,
the
installation
and
cost
to
operate
them
may
or
cost
to
implement
them
may
increase.
There
are
various
models
that
we're
looking
into.
There's
the
purchase
model.
There's
a
lease
model,
there's
a
lease
to
purchase
model.
C
It
has
varying
implementation
costs,
but
that
analysis
is
underway
with
regard
to
wayfinding
signage,
that
this
is
on
hold
pending
personnel
and
consultant
resources,
but
also
important
aligning
to
initiative
1.1
consistent
parking
signage
throughout
the
downtown.
So,
as
we
put
together
our
parking
plan
for
both
on
street
and
off
street
having
the
wayfinding
signage
linked
to
that
in
a
complimentary
way.
C
C
The
newspaper
rack
project
was
initiated,
but
has
been
temporarily
put
on
hold,
and
we
do
intend
to
reactivate
that
in
qt.
That
is
strictly
a
staffing
resource
issue
with
not
having
enough
personnel
to
move
all
these
projects
forward
and
you'll
see
the
downtown
greening
plan
a
high
important
interests
of
council
just
highlighting
that
in
a
few
weeks
we
will
be
at
the
citizens
revenue
oversight
committee
for
a
re-articulation
of
that
funding
request
from
measure
g,
as
requested
by
the
city
council
cozy
park.
C
Traffic
calming
this
was
a
completed
one
I'll
just
note
that
here
for
this
item
there
were
revisions
to
the
traffic
calming
tool
kit
that
went
to
the
tspc
committee
in
september
of
2020,
and
additional
work
related
to
this
topic
will
really
occur
with
regard
to
strategic
initiative,
26.5,
which
the
city
council
wanted
to
undertake
as
a
part
of
strong
governance.
A
review
of
the
tspc
committee
also
important
to
note
that
there
was
a
recent
committee
meeting
where
five
zones
or
five
areas
in
the
city
went
through
an
analysis
for
traffic
coming
measures.
C
C
The
items
that
are
listed
here
are
simply
those
high
level
items
that
we
will
be
working
on
in
this
fiscal
year.
The
council
has
directed
that.
We
look
at
a
city
charter
focused
on
the
commercial
transfer
tax.
This
is
anticipated
to
begin
later
this
fiscal
year.
There
have
been
a
number
of
internal
staff
meetings
on
this
already.
C
The
effort
is
currently
unfunded,
however,
depending
on
the
direction
we
may
be
able
to
do
that
with
existing
staff
resources.
However,
there
will
be
questions
that
we
will
post
to
the
city
council
such
as.
Do
we
want
to
undertake
a
likely
voter
poll
that
will
have
to
be
funded,
but
it
could
very
well
inform
the
tax
structure
that
we
put,
that
the
council
may
decide
to
put
on
the
ballot
short-term,
rentals,
the
city
council,
and
so
with
regard
to
I'm
sorry,
the
charter.
C
With
regard
to
short-term
rentals,
we
are
in
discussions
with
hdl
you'll,
know,
hcos
our
sales
tax
and
property
tax
consultant
and
the
company
that
we
recently
hired
for
administration
of
our
business
license
tax.
They
also
do
short
term
rental
implementation,
so
we
we
are
engaged
in
discussions
with
them
to
take
on
a
third
party
administration
of
the
city,
short-term
rental,
transient,
occupancy
tax,
cannabis
regulations.
This
is
an
active
project.
It
is
budgeted
for
forty
thousand
dollars.
C
Staff
is
evaluating
a
zoning
ordinance
amendment
change
that
could
begin
later
this
fiscal
year.
It
will
require
one
meeting
of
the
planning,
commission
and
three
meetings
of
the
city
council.
There
are
a
whole
host
of
decisions
that
are
needed
by
the
city
council.
How
many
dispensaries
should
the
city
allow
and
which
zoning
districts
should
those
dispensaries
be
allowed?
Should
we
conduct
a
whole
of
business
owners
and
property
owners
in
those
specific
zoning
districts
prior
to
getting
decisions
and
what
public
outreach
additional
public
outreach
efforts?
C
Should
we
undertake
a
lot
of
important
threshold
questions
and
we
will
be
scheduling
a
study
session
in
q2
to
bring
those
items
before
council
and
have
that
robust
discussion?
Stormwater
we've
talked
about,
but
again
that
decision
on
the
next
steps
is
set
for
october
cost
allocation
plan,
done
water
rate
study
and
sewer
rate
study.
I
won't
spend
much
time
on
anticipate
it
to
begin
later,
but
should
we
do
this
effort?
C
C
The
idea
of
having
summer
and
saturday
street
closures
in
downtown
is
on
hold,
pending
identification
of
existing
staff
resources
to
manage
and
oversee
downtown
events.
We
do
not
have
the
capacity
or
the
personnel
to
implement
this
at
this
time
and
the
effort
is
unfunded
and
so
that
that
project
is
on
hold
the
east-west
street.
Sweeping
alignment
anticipated
to
start
in
q3,
certainly
a
high
level,
an
important
effort.
It's
unfunded.
C
I
think
it's
important
to
note
there
that
until
the
analysis
is
done
and
we
intend
to
do
the
analysis
in
house,
we
will
not
know
the
full
complement
of
costs
to
undertake
that
effort.
Certainly
it
will
increase
our
enforcement
efforts
and
our
street
sweeping
program
that
will
come
at
a
cost.
There
may
be
some
offset
from
in
the
initial
years
from
revenue
from
citations,
but
we
know
that
patterns
change
when
citations
are
given
and
so
keeping
up
those
enforcement
habits
will
be
important.
C
C
This
will
be
linked
to
initiative
1.1,
which
is
the
downtown
parking
meter
program,
because
the
enforcement
of
both
on-street
and
off-street
parking
in
the
commercial
areas
and
how
we
staff
to
do
that
really
relates
to
how
we
increase
parking
enforcement
city-wide
wildfire
risk
mitigation
in
crestmoor
canyon.
I
know
council
is
well
aware
of
this
project.
I
believe
that
the
conservative
california
conservation
corps
will
resume
their
spikes
to
do
wildfire
mitigation
in
the
next
few
months.
C
In
addition,
there's
that
larger
project
to
do
mitigation
throughout
the
canyon
proper
right
now
we
are
sending
centering
on
that
100
plus
dispensable
space,
clearing
from
all
the
structures
at
the
top
of
the
canyon,
but
as
a
part
of
that
three
million
dollar
pride,
three
plus
million
dollar
project,
there
is
wildfire
mitigation
and
also
a
plan
to
bring
water
to
the
the
existing
service
world.
That
is
in
the
canyon.
C
What's
actually
not
here,
is
the
work
that
staff
undertook
last
fiscal
year
in
this
fiscal
year
and
working
with
caltrans
for
the
wildfire
mitigation
work.
That's
currently
occurring
in
two
phases.
One
phase
concluded
a
few
months
ago.
Another
phase
is
active
now
and
they're
clearing
eucalyptus
trees
along
the
280
off
ramp
near
the
canyon
by
san
bernardino
avenue.
C
In
addition,
this
project
includes
funding
for
a
new
inspector
position
that
we
are
recruiting
for
and
wildfire
mitigation
across
various
city-owned
properties
that
will
is
funded
at
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year,
but
we'll
we'll
need
to
increase.
Our
initial
focus
area
is
crystal
springs
road.
C
San
bruno
won't
spend
a
ton
of
time
on
this,
but
the
count
because
the
council
recently
received
an
update
on
where
we
are
with
recology
and
their
pilot
program
for
the
abandoned
waste
program
that
we
launched.
There
are
additional
efforts
related
to
this
effort,
such
as
the
initiative
16
street,
sweeping
downtown
cleaning
that
may
be
related
to
the
parking
program.
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
talked
about
internally
is:
should
we
move
forward
with
parking
meters
down
in
downtown
once
we
have
a
revenue
projection?
C
C
This
project
is
moving
forward.
We
are
looking
at
evaluating
several
vendors,
but
we
have
a
goal
of
implementing
in
q2.
There
has
been
a
delay.
We
are
actually
shifting
from
each
racket
to
a
new
vendor
due
to
technical
difficulties
in
integration,
but
we
are
looking
to
initiate
the
launch
of
that
in
q2
economic
development
program,
20
and
20
and
21.1
there's
a
new
position
that
was
funded
in
the
budget.
We
were
recruiting
for
that
position.
C
I
think
actually
we're
beginning
the
recruitment
plan
for
that
position.
It
will
go
out
on
the
street
later
in
q1,
and
the
small
business
attraction
program
will
really
be
linked
to
that
economic
development
officer,
economic
development
manager
position,
and
so
when
that
position
comes
on
board,
if
we
can
actually
fill
that
position
sooner
rather
than
later,
this
initiative
may
move
from
a
two
to
a
three
climate
action
plan.
We
did
receive
a
ten
thousand
dollar
grant
from
pce
specific
to
reach
those.
C
Initial
work
has
begun
on
this,
however,
it
is
on
on
hold
pending
additional
resources,
staffing
and
consultant,
as
well
as
financial
resources
staff.
I
did
begin
conversations
with
faculty
at
skyline
college
for
research
and
fellowship
assistants,
and
those
conversations
will
be
reactivated
now
that
that
personality
skyline
is
will
be
back
on
campus
communications
plan
on
track
to
provide
that
to
council
by
the
end
of
q1
council
policies
and
procedures.
C
Looking
to
finalize
that
in
september,
we
pending
calendaring
of
a
final
study
session
or
two
and
final
action
by
the
city
council
at
our
regular
meeting.
We
did
run
into
a
delay
on
that,
but
we
are
reactivating
that
personnel
board
transition
is
complete
district
elections,
so
we
have
launched
that
project
internally
and
we
are
planning
a
study
session
for
the
city
council
on
september
28th.
C
C
D
D
D
My
phone
is
ringing,
my
computer,
sorry
about
that.
Could
we
adopt
the
design
standard
and
develop
signs
to
direct
deserts,
visitors
toward
our
downtown
from
other
areas
of
the
city
and
then
within
downtown
point
people
to
city
lots
and
then
use
that
same
design
standard
later
to
add
more
signs
related
to
parking
meters.
C
Sure
is
that
possible
to
do
absolutely
do
we
have
the
staff
resources
to
do
that
right
now?
No,
we
do
have
a
contract
traffic
engineer
that
we
can
apply
to
that
work.
One
of
the
challenges
with
that
is
just
cost
that
that
contract
engineer
actually
cost
more
than
a
city.
Staffer
would
cost
them.
So
we're
looking
to
bring
a
permanent
traffic
engineer
on
board
and
have
had
a
number
of
ongoing
recruitment
efforts
there.
E
D
C
A
sort
of
very
aesthetically
pleasing
thoughtful
approach
to
manage
parking
downtown
linking
to
a
financial
strategy.
With
regard
to
how
you
price
on
street
and
all
street
parking
theaters,
is
there
the
possibility?
There
are
standard
parking
signs
that
are
sort
of
white
with
green
lettering,
saying
parking
over
there
right?
Can
we
implement
those
that
is
possible
it
would.
It
would
take
some
staff
work
to
identify
where
those
go,
but
the
recommendation
was
to
do
a
holistic
approach
that
is
linked
with
a
comprehensive
parking
plan
for
for
downtown.
D
Okay
and
then
that
makes
sense-
and
I'm
not
advocating
you
know
getting
generic
generic
science
or
anything
like
that.
I
think
what
you
described
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
So
thank
you
and
then
my
my
my
other
question.
Under
the
clean
san
bruno
topic,
you
mentioned
that
it
said
in
the
in
the
the
matrix
there
that
public
education
and
information
was
underway.
Are
these?
Are
these,
but
by
underway,
do
you
mean
that
those
communications
are
still
being
developed
or
has
any
of
those
communications
gone
out?.
C
There
have
been
communications
around
sp
response,
and
that
is
how
we're
communicating
to
the
public
around
illegal
dumping.
You
see
something
reported
to
sp
response,
and
so
we
we
have
done
communications
around
that
both
in
social
media,
newsletters
and
print,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
that
to
increase
awareness
and
use
the
response.
D
Okay,
thank
you.
I
I
wasn't
sure
because
I
wasn't
sure
if
I
had
seen
any
of
them,
but
you
know
with
the
way
social
media
works,
you
don't
always
get
to
see
everything
you
know
I.
I
know
that
I
would
be
willing
and
by
some
some,
if
not
all
of
my
colleagues
would
probably
be
willing
to
amplify
those
communications
when
they
go
out.
So
if
there's
a
way
to
keep
us
in
the
loop
when
those
things
go
out,
so
we
can
look
for
them
and
amplify
them.
I'm
sure
we'd
be
happy
to
do
that.
E
C
C
So
a
recruitment
plan
has
been
developed
a
number
of
those
positions,
including
that
one
was
not
funded
for
the
full
year.
There
was
a
recognition
that
I
believe
we
did
a
four
month
recruitment
cycle
for
a
number
of
those
positions,
and
so
we
are
developing
the
recruitment
plan
for
the
economic
development
manager
and
the
plan
for
that
is
to
launch
in
this
quarter,
which
would
mean
between
now
and
the
end
of
september.
E
A
B
So
I
think
what
would
help
me
to
really
understand
where
the
city
is
prioritizing.
As
far
as
operations
go
is
we
have
a
number
of
departments
and
it
seems,
like
various
departments
might
be
able
to
focus
on
these
different
areas.
So
you
know,
public
works
is
around
the
cleanliness,
the
police
code
enforcement
community
development
around
the
greening,
to
identify
a
priority
area
for
each
department
and
then
identify
timelines
for
actual
execution.
B
But
I
I
don't
know
that
those
two
areas
for
the
amount
of
time
that
are
being
placed
on
the
presentations
and
the
conversations
I
think
from
all
council
members
with
our
city
manager.
You
know
shouldn't
or
couldn't
be
substituted
with
even
picking
one
and
saying,
let's
see
what
we
can.
If
we
can
accomplish
this
in
in
two
or
three
months,
by
having
everybody
work
as
a
strategic
initiative
within
the
departments
on
this
area,
and
I
do
understand
that
departments
have
to
work
together.
B
No,
I
would
like
a
response,
though,
from
the
city
manager.
I
think
the
question
is:
would
it
be
possible
for
the
departments
to
kind
of
take
an
initiative
on
on
their
own?
They
would
they
get
to
pick
the
initiative
based
on
you
know
their
that
whatever
they
have
on
their
plates
and
champion
it.
I
I
just
like
to
see
some
movement,
given
the
amount
of
attention
that
our
downtown
has
right
now,.
C
Sure
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
there,
but
if
we
unpack
it,
what
I
would
say
is
your
departments
are
absolutely
championing
initiatives
and
working
on
them,
and
I
think
the
progress
that
we
saw
from
at
least
I
can
speak
on
the
2019
and
2020
completed
initiatives
is
that
things
are
getting
done.
It
is
absolutely
true
that
there
are
42
initiatives
when
the
city
council
did
prioritize
them
in
a
bulk
sort
of
your.
Your
one,
two
and
three
priority.
What's
also
true,
is
that
the
various
pro
projects.
E
C
C
Some
are
not
some
are
not
complex,
so
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
when
the
city
council
adopted
these
pro
these
strategic
initiatives,
one
of
the
conversations
we
had
was
one:
let's
pull
off
a
number
of
projects
that
staff
are
working
on,
because
we
want
this
list
to
focus
on
a
articulation
of
the
strategic
initiatives
that
council
is
most
focused
on.
What's
also
true
about
that,
and
then
that
is
a
very
appropriate
decision.
What's
also
true
about.
C
That
is
all
those
other
projects
we
took
off,
didn't
go
away
right
and
and
your
and
your
organization
are
working
on
those
projects,
plus
their
own
departmental
initiatives
and
plus
doing
their
day-to-day
job,
and
so
there's
a
truth
in
that
there
is
only
so
much
bandwidth
to
go
around
right
and
it's
totally
appropriate
to
set
the
bar
high.
But
when
you
set
the
bar
as
high
as
we've
said
it,
I
think
you
have
to
recognize
that
everything
will
not
be
worked
on
simultaneously.
C
C
What
I
don't
think
in
the
organization
cannot
accomplish
with
the
resources
and
and
capacity
constraints
we
have
now
and
that's
the
point
of
the
matrix
you
receive.
That's
the
point
of
this
conversation.
This
is
not
to
be
a
detailed
here's,
the
timeline
for
this
project,
here's
where
we
are
all
that
can
come
later.
C
This
is
sort
of
pulse
adoption,
here's
an
assessment
of
what
we're
working
on
what
we
are
planning
to
begin
later
and
what
is
outside
of
the
bandwidth
and
with
regard
to
focus,
I
welcome
a
another
discussion
like
we
had
at
code
with
two
years
ago
now
at
skyline
college,
where
we
had
all
of
the
department
heads
with
the
city
council
and
a
very
open
and
candid
conversation
about
the
work
that
is
on
the
department's
work
program
right.
I
think
that
discussion
will
elevate.
A
D
C
Person
retreat
conversations
where
council
can
receive
that
detailed
articulation
from
the
department
heads
on
sort
of
what
are
their
departmental
initiatives
as
a
leader
in
their
department.
Where
are
they
spending
their
time
to
improve
just
the
basic
nuts
and
bolts
right?
Where
are
they?
Where
are
they
spending
their
time
on
initiatives,
both
city-wide
initiatives
and
the
city
council,
strategic
initiatives
and.
B
Yeah-
and
I
think
I
enjoyed
that
meeting
when
we
had
it,
and
I
would
also
like
to
hear
what
initiatives
our
leadership
team
have
that
they
are
enjoying,
because
you
know
it,
it
is
overwhelming.
I
you
know
we
hear
very
often
about
capacity,
and
we,
I
think
we
all
understand
that
we're
at
capacity
we
have
a
lean
staff.
B
That's
why
the
council
overwhelmingly
approved
a
number
of
positions
this
year
to
not
just
get
what
has
been
outstanding
done,
but
also
to
get
the
initiatives
that
we
narrowed
down
to
eight,
if
I
remember
correctly
done-
and
so
I
I'd
really
like
to
hear
from
the
directors
and
I'd
love
to
hear
what
they're
enjoying
doing
about
their
you
know
with
their
with
the
initiatives
that
they
have.
Is
it
just
a
feeling
of
we're
getting
work
or
is
there
any
joy?
B
E
B
D
Okay,
I'm
not
saying
one
quick
comment.
I
I
agree
the
city
manager
mentioned
about
having
a
you
know,
trying
to
schedule
a
an
in-person
retreat
to
go
to
go
through
this
with
the
department
heads.
I
love
that
idea.
Obviously
it
wasn't
here
two
years
ago,
when
the
last
one
happened.
That
sounds
great
and
I
would
really
like
to
participate
in
that
and
whatever
we
can
do
to
get
to
make
that
happen
sooner
rather
than
later.
I
would
be
in
favor
of
thank
you.
A
C
E
D
E
E
E
E
E
E
So
the
good
news,
as
we
saw
tonight,
20
of
the
42
strategic
initiatives
are,
are
related
to
our
downtown.
This
council
wants
to
get
something
done:
the
san
bruno
community
foundation,
as
councilwoman
mason,
pointed
out
in
their
poll,
our
residents.
I
think
this
is
the
second
highest
need
from
our
residents
that
they
want
to
see
and
what
have
we
done?
E
E
E
E
E
I
am
very
proud
of
the
work
that
all
of
the
council
members
have
done
in
reaching
out
to
all
the
businesses
in
san
bruno,
but
yet
not
everyone
has
applied
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
again.
They
need
a
little
bit
more
hand-holding
and
it's
a
little
hard
to
do
that
socially
distant,
but
it
it
takes
additional
effort,
and
I
and
I
believe
that
we
can
do
it.
There
are
two
business
owners
that
I've
been
trying
to
get
to
to
apply
and
it's
like.
E
E
E
E
So
who's
on
it.
Well
like
just
like
the
clean
san
bruno
committee,
we
need
two
two
council
members.
I
I
really
want
to
be
on
this,
so
we
need
one
more.
If,
if
we're
going
to
do
it,
this
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
unfortunately
I
have
the
time
I
have
a
number
of
comm
connections
downtown
and
we
need
one
more
next
slide.
Please.
E
Because
in
the
city
of
burlingame,
in
their
economic
development
committee,
they
they
meet
once
a
once
a
year
with
the
hotel
operators
to
figure
out
how
they
can
help
them
help
the
businesses
downtown
with
with
those
guides
that
you
get
in
a
hotel
right
when
you
go
there,
what
what's
to
do
in
center
room,
they
also
meet
with
the
car
dealerships
and
we
can
expand
to
it's,
not
just
the
downtown.
But
what
are
our
other
shopping?
E
E
A
Okay,
thank
you
vice
mayor
for
the
powerpoint
and
your
comments,
I'm
going
to
first
see
if
there's
any
members
of
the
public
that
would
like
to
have
any
comments
on
this.
This
would
be
the
opportunity
to
raise
your
hand.
Now
I'm
going
to
move
back
to
the
council
for
questions
to
the
vice
mayor
on
on
claire
on
the
powerpoint
in
his
comments,
all
right,
seeing
no
hands
we'll
bring
it
back
to
council
and
any
questions
to
the
vice
mayor.
A
D
First
of
all
I
want
to
I
want
to
commend
the
vice
mayor
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
know
that
after
years
of
trying
to
get
efforts
started
downtown
and
always
sort
of
coming
up
short.
I
I
think
this
is
an
innovative
approach.
Definitely
something
different.
I
don't
think
we've
ever
tried
forming
a
committee.
I
know
that
we've
tried
some
efforts
to
form
merchants
association
years
ago
and
it
didn't
go
so
well,
but
you
know
that
that's
really
not
a
good
reason
to
never
try
again.
C
C
Do
we
want
to
create
a
seat
on
the
or
talk
work
with
the
chamber
on
having
a
seat
on
the
chamber
for
a
member
of
the
city
council
and
because
a
lot
of
the
sort
of
strategies
there
to
work
with
businesses
and
improve
assistance
and
collaboration?
I
think,
relates
to
the
work
that
the
chamber
does
with
with
regard
to
staff's
ability
to
support
the
effort.
C
C
C
I
do
think
that
there
is
a
overall
desire,
not
just
from
council
member
medina
but
members
of
council,
to
engage
with
our
emergence
in
downtown
right
when
I,
as
I
look
at
our
existing
work
plan
over
the
next
six
months,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
going
to
require
a
lot
of
engagement,
one
of
it.
One
of
them,
is
cannabis.
C
You
know.
Does
the
council
want
to
have
a
subcommittee
that
meets
with
businesses
downtown
around
campus?
Is
that
a
and
the
sort
of
zoning
conversations
and
how
many
businesses
we
we
have
downtown
sort
of?
Is
it
centered
on
council
policy,
or
is
it
centered
on
other
things
that
are
maybe
more
aligned
to
a
chamber
or
emergency
association?
C
And
so
that's
where
I'm
trying
to
understand
this
sort
of
demarcation?
Because
if
it's
centered
on
council
policy,
that
can
be
an
ad
hoc
committee
or
that
could
be
a
limited
duration,
outreach
effort.
If
it's
centered
on
other
items,
those
items
are
typically
more
focused
on
a
chamber
or
merchants
association
and
so
sort
of
what
is
the
sort
of
core
focus
of
of
of
the
effort
in
in
the
end
goal?
Because
if
it's
to
report
to
the
city
council
for
potential
accidents,
I
think
a
lot
of
the
the
items
there.
C
Don't
all
don't
necessarily
align
to
that.
So
my
recommendation
would
be
to
make
it
very
focused
and
or
think
about
structuring
it
as
a
partnership
with
other
organizations
that
are
focused
on
the
business
community
in
the
merchant
community-
and
I
guess
the
last
thought
was
also
that,
should
the
city
council
go
to
district
elections,
you
will
have
a
district
council
member
in
that
area
to
focus,
and
so
how
would
that
be?
C
If
it's,
that
could
be
the
focus
of
that
district
council
member
to
meet
with
with
the
merchants
in
downtown
and
do
those
sorts
of
activities?
If
you
decide
to
have
a
committee,
maybe
it's
the
district
council
member
and
the
mayor,
because
that's
the
sort
of
overarching
you
have
you
have
that
district
council
member
and
the
mayor
that
serves
the
entire
city.
So
are
those
two
people
on
the
committee
just
some
overarching
thoughts
as
I
sort
of
receive
this
with
council.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
hamilton,
I'm
going
to
call
first,
we
have
a
member
of
the
public
nancy
foreman
and
to
see
the
only
hand
up
at
this
time
so
we'll
if
I
can
switch
back
to
miss
foreman
and
hear
from
her
and
then
we'll
bring
it
back
to
council
link
with
you,
mr
city
clerk,
if
you
can
bring
in
yes.
Thank
you.
F
They're,
tired
of
hearing
a
run
around
we
keep
hearing
you're
going
to
do
something.
I
hear
that
council
member
medina
is
offering
to
reach
out
and
let
these
merchants
know
that
they're
being
heard,
we
desperately
need
to
come
up
with
a
win-win
situation,
and
our
merchants
feel
like
they're,
being
paid
attention
to
there's
so
many
simple
five-minute
projects
that
can
be
done
downtown
that
just
show
volumes
of
care.
F
F
D
So
I
wanted
to
this
kind
of
follows
on
from
councilmember
salazar's
question
and
the
city
manager's
answer
to
it
regarding
staff,
time
and
availability.
I
would
what
I
would
what
I
took
away
from
the
from
what
we
heard
from
the
vice
parents.
Please
marty,
correct
me:
if
I'm,
if
I'm
mistaken,
is
that
the
the
focus
of
this
would
be.
D
To
do
what
we
can
as
council
members
on
this
committee,
without
involving
staff
as
much
as
possible,
and
if
there
were
things
that
would
eventually
need
to
involve
staff.
That's
where
we
talk
about
on
that
that
last
bullet
about
providing
recommendations
to
council
for
action,
because
you
know
we,
wouldn't
we
wouldn't
be
directing
staff
to
do
anything
directly
from
this
committee.
It
would
have
to
come
from
the
full
council.
D
So
as
far
as
going
through
and
doing
these
individual
items
that
the
vice
mayor
laid
out,
I
was
envisioning
that
this
would
be
this.
These
would
be
things
that
would
be
done
specifically
by
the
members
of
the
committee
and
not
asking
staff
to
do
any
of
them,
because
we
because,
as
we
all
know,
staff
staff
doesn't
have
capacity
to
do
one
more
thing.
So
it
is
it's
it's
it's
to
be
a
it's
to
extend
our
reach
and
pitch
in
and
help
not
to
add
another
burden.
E
D
I
think
it
would
be
important.
My
other
point
that
I
wanted
to
make.
I
think
it
would
be
important
that
it
also
is
not
just
a
guerrilla
effort,
that's
being
done
without
any
communication,
I
think
we,
I
think
it
would
be
important
to
keep
to
keep
staff
through
through
communicating
directly
through
the
city
manager's
office,
of
what
this
committee
is
doing,
just
so
that
we
don't
step
on
each
step
on
toes
or
or
you
know,
cause
any
conflicts
or
whatever.
E
E
E
That's
that's
in
the
in
the
less
than
five
percent,
so
we
can
assist
our
chamber
as
we
all
know,
there's
been
a
number
of
changes
in
the
chamber
and
and
they
were
making
great
progress
and
then
got
hit
by
covid,
just
like
everybody
else,
and
all
those
efforts
went
away,
and
now
we
have
somebody
new
so
yeah
this.
This
won't
take
much
staff
time
very,
very,
very
little
other
than
giving
an
update
and
when
any
time
is
needed,
then
I
understand
the
process.
E
We
come
back
report
back
out
to
the
council
and
ask
for
action,
but
this
is
primarily
at
this
point
is
obtaining
the
input
and
and
building
those
relationships
getting
those
grant
applications
out
again.
We
we
we
gave
one.
The
whole
council
gave
one
to
everyone,
every
business
owner
in
san
bruno
just
about
and
yet
not
everybody
applied,
and
this
next
round
of
funding
is
specifically
for
those
that
haven't
received
that
funding.
A
B
B
I
think
very
quaint
and
beautiful
downtown
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
enhance
what
we
have
is
really,
I
think,
the
priority
right
now.
So
my
suggestion
would
be
that
in
lieu
of
having
kind
of
this
broad
committee
that
brings
back
recommendations
that
I
think
honestly
are
going
to
be
largely
what
are
already
recommended
to
take.
What's
already
been
taken
advised
like,
for
example,
take
the
streetscape
plan
and
use
and
used
the
committee
to
gather
the
merchants
and
say
within
the
streetscape
plan,
which
would
be
your
priorities
today.
B
B
There
actually
has
two
council
members
attend
every
chamber
meeting
and
it
was
established
years
ago
to
make
sure
that
the
chamber
is
aware
that
the
city
council
is
there
to
assist
them
to
support
them
and
also
have
a
chamber
that
that
is
advocating
for
their
merchants
in
the
ways
that
most
benefit
the
merchants
right-
and
I
know
our
our
chamber
has
struggled
but
hopefully
they'll
come
out
of
this.
You
know
the
covet,
like
all
the
other,
like
everybody
else.
You
know
everybody's
struggling
right
now.
B
So
really
my
my
two
suggestions
would
be
to
really
narrow
this
down.
To
saying
we
have
a
streetscape
plan
sharing
it
with
the
merchants.
I've
had
meetings
with
the
merchants,
and
I
can
honestly
say
that
I
think
a
lot
of
merchants
are
not
familiar
with
the
streetscape
plan,
so
I
think
that
would
be
the
first
part
and
then
within
the
streetscape
plan.
What
do
the
merchants
want
to
see
as
priorities
and
then
the
second
part
would
be
the
same
committee?
B
Would
it
would
be
responsible
to
attending
the
chamber
of
commerce
meetings
and
then
I
would
say,
let's
see
how
that
comes
out,
and
then
maybe
that
could
be
expanded
to
another
project.
But
I
think
that
way.
We're
really
starting
to
lean
in
on
what
are
going
to
be
our
priorities,
and
you
know
our
checklist
to
start
really
fixing
and
seeing
a
visible
improvement
downtown.
A
Once
again,
as
I
started,
thank
you
for
your
time
and
effort
and
we've
taken
our
walks,
and
so
I
and
watched
your
water
and
other
things,
so
the
passion
is
obviously
there.
So
thank
you
marty.
Vice
mayor.
I
know
you
had
mentioned.
Also
there's.
I
believe,
if
I
heard
correctly,
like
20
of
the
42
initiatives,
have
something
to
do
with
downtown
in
some
respect.
So
what
I
certainly
don't
want
to
do
is
duplicate
and
have
too
many
of
us
going
over
things.
A
So
you
know
some
folks
may
not
know
that
the
council
has
taken
some
of
the
streetscapes
and
said
okay,
let's
do
newspaper
rex,
let's
do
trash
receptacles,
maybe
they
don't
know
about
centennial
plaza.
So
it's
probably
an
educational
aspect
that
I
think
is
a
reach
out
and
let
them
know
I
think
councilmember
mason
about
the
streetscape
plan
is
kind
of
good
to
to
see
that
and
of
course
it
takes
money.
Community
benefits
will
come
in
at
some
points,
and
so
maybe
there's
some
opportunities
with
the
chamber.
A
There's
always
been
a
department
head
that
has
sat
on
the
board
of
directors
and
that
that
occurs
and
still
does
today.
So
that
the
city
is
connected
closely
with
the
the
board,
so
they
have
the
board
of
directors
which
are
elected
by
their
peers,
and
then
I
don't
know
if
they
have
general
meetings,
but
I
think
that's
something
that
has
to
be
worked
out.
I
don't
know
that
we
can
walk
in
and
impose
us
putting
people
there.
A
It's
about
the
collaboration,
what
works
well
for
that
system,
if
they
like
that,
but
I
think
you
know
communicating
is
everything,
but
I
think
setting
expectations
are
as
well
and
I
think
some
of
the
things
can
be
done.
That
has
been
proven,
and
I
mean
there
are
some
things
about
just
the
sidewalks.
A
There
are
some
basic
things
as
miss
foreman
minutes
said
mrs
forman
said
about
you
know
that
we
could
probably
do
or
or
or
our
low-hanging
fruit
that
you
can
take
care
of,
but
I
do
believe
that,
eventually
you
know,
staff
is
going
to
find
themselves
in
a
situation
that
it's
going
to
be.
Okay,
let's
look
into
this.
How
can
we
do
this?
What's
the
timeline?
Is
it
whose
property
is
it
on,
for
example,
caltrain
or
caltran?
A
B
B
So
I
guess
what
would
the
merchants
want
to
see
that
complement
their
existing
business
without
necessarily
being
strong
competition,
and
that
would
be
something
else
that
I
think
would
be
really
helpful
to
get
more
information
on
and
knowledge,
because
I
I
don't
really
know
more
than
you
know:
random
conversations
with
store
owners.
So
thank
you.
A
And
thank
you
for
those
comments
because
you
just
triggered
my
mind
to
one
thing.
I
forgot
ahead
of
my
note
here:
didn't
it's
just
the
when
businesses,
you
know
when
you
have
a
business
on
in
our
community
that
come
in
there
aren't
a
chain
or
something
sometimes
they
need
that
extra
assistance
right.
There
are
businesses
that
go
in
there
and,
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to
say,
holding
hands
in
a
negative
way,
but
I
mean
sometimes
you
need
a
little
extra
assistance
about
the
requirements
about
what
needs
to
be
done.
A
Here's
the
list
this
this
will
have
the
best
success
for
both
sides
and
I
think,
that's
an
important.
It
may
not
be
for
this
committee,
but
you
know
I
I
look
to
ways.
How
can
we
streamline
the
process?
I
do
hear
that
folks
want
to
come
in,
but
this
isn't
a
loud
downtown.
This
is
not
allowed
and
I'm
not
you
know.
A
Also,
the
other
side
of
it
is
when
a
business
sits
vacant
for
years
and
years
and
nothing
happens
inside
of
it,
and
you
know
what
can
the
city
do
if
anything,
rather
than
allow
it
to
stay
vacant,
because
maybe
that
that
business
owner
is
saying
I'm
okay
with
just
sitting
as
a
vacant
storefront?
So
I
think
those
are
two
other
matters
too
sorry
to
go
off
on
on
that
offside
of
that.
But
anyway,
I'm
gonna
turn
it
back
to
the
vice
mayor.
E
E
That
could
be
one
of
the
things.
It's
it's
pretty
easy
easy
to
pivot.
On
that.
The
the
primary
thing,
though,
is,
is
that
we
need
to
get.
We
need
to
communicate
when
we
are
proposing
a
agreeing,
a
parking
zone,
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
our
businesses
understand
what's
going
on
and
and
making
sure
that
they're
involved
and
perhaps
they're
not
as
involved
as
they
would
as
they
as
we.
E
It's
not
going
to
take
staff
much
time
at
all
and
let's
say
in
three
months
report
back
what
we
found
out
so
far
with
these
different
surveys,
these
different
meetings,
our
city
manager,
will
be
updated
every
other
week,
probably
even
more
often,
if,
if
he
would
like,
but
there
are
20
23
vacancies
downtown
right,
what
can
we
do
to
help
help
help
get
the
word
out
on
on
social
media?
Letting
people
know
hey
at
four
on
a
second
at
675
there's
a
vacancy.
It's
this
many
square
feet.
E
E
I
can't
this
is
this:
is
about
reaching
out
to
our
community
and
building
these
relationships
with
the
additional
support,
knowing
that
we're
on
an
improvement
committee
and
we're
going
to
invite
everybody,
we
can
invite
everybody
figure
out
if
we
can,
if
we
need
to
do
it
block
by
block,
we
could
do
it
like
that,
because
it's
hard
when
you're
when
you
own
a
business
and
if
you
come
up
downtown
you'll,
see
the
majority
of
them
need
help
right.
They
need
staff.
E
This.
This
cobid
has
wiped
out
a
lot
of
people
that
are
not
interested
in
returning
to
these
jobs
and
the
help
wanted
signs
are
up
there
and
it's
very
difficult
to
get
people
to
kind
of
want
to
come
back
to
take
those
jobs.
People
figured
out,
they
could
do
something
else.
So
anyhow,
I
thank
you
all
for
your
for
your
time.
E
A
You
thank
you
vice
mayor
and
to
be
mindful
of
time.
What
I
think
would
need
to
be
done
too,
is
ad
hoc
versus
just
two
council
members.
You
know
talks
about
noticing
and
talks
about
the
process,
so
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
that.
The
city
manager
articulated
that
you
know
he
again
is
is
receiving
this.
So
I
want
him
to
have
a
little
time
to
digest
that
with
you.
A
Maybe-
and
you
know,
come
up
I'm
going
to
unless
I'm
seeing
unless
I'm
not
reading
the
colleagues
well
that
to
to
bring
this
back
up
at
a
regular
schedule,
counseling
in
because
we
have
to
we
can't
appoint
committees
here
they
need
to
be
done,
as
you
know,
especially
depending
on
what
type
of
committee
it's
going
to
be.
So
it's
established
the
process
and
protocol.
E
D
I'm
looking
at
the
agenda,
it
says
discussion
of
potential
downtown
ad
hoc
committee.
It
doesn't
say,
appoint
members
to
the
ad
hoc
committee.
It
says
there's
going
to
be
a
discussion
about
it.
I
don't
know
what
was
intended
that
this
would
be,
but
when
I
read
it,
I
thought
it
was
a
discussion
of
the
potential
committee
and
not
whether
members
were
going
to
be
appointed
at
this
time,
but
I
think
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution.
D
I
would
suggest
that
if
there
is
agreement
or
majority
or
consensus
that
it
could
simply
be
agendized
at
the
next
meeting
for
appointment
of
the
individuals
to
be
on
that
committee
you're,
the
mayor,
I
might
suggest
that
you
know
well,
I
want
to
get
going,
get
to
get
us
going
on
this
as
soon
as
possible
as
well.
I
think
we
not
knowing
exactly
what
type
of
committee
it
is
that
needs
to
be
well
defined
before
we
would
vote
on
it.
I
believe
yeah.
D
I
would
add
that
this
is
the
first
time
that
several
of
us
are
hearing
about
this.
It
would
be
helpful
to
make
sure
that
we
determine
what
sort
of
committee
is
it
going
to
be.
What
are
the
rules
associated
as
an
ad
hoc
or
or
otherwise?
So
I
think,
there's
a
little
bit
of
vetting
that
staff
would
need
to
do
just
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
all
the
details.
D
Sure,
obviously
we
we
will
need
to
figure
out
what
kind
of
committee
it
is
normally
committees,
even
of
less
than
a
quorum
that
are
established
by
formal
action
of
the
city
council
are
required
to
comply
with
the
brown
act,
even
if
they
don't
include
members
of
the
public.
So
there's
just
some
things.
We
we
need
to
discuss
and
work
through
and
make
sure
that
everybody's
on
the
same
page.
A
Understood,
okay,
better
to
be
always
safe
than
sorry.
I
think
we've
all
learned
that
in
our
lifetimes.
Okay-
with
that,
I
want
to
thank
again
vice
mayor,
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
your
input
and
thoughts.
We're
going
to
go
ahead
and
adjourn
in
just
a
couple
of
minutes,
we'll
be
going
to
the
next
zoo
meeting,
which
will
be
seven
o'clock
city
council
meeting.
