Okay-
and
we
go
on
to
item
number
three
public
comments
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
This
would
be
for
three
up
to
three
minutes
for
items
not
on
the
agenda
and
there
are
two
items
which
is
in
regards
to
downtown
streetscape
and
also
the
personnel
board.
So
if
it's
other
than
those
items,
if
you
could
please
raise
your
virtual
hand-
and
we
will
start
to
call
you
in
so
again,
this
is
for
public
comments
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
D
Sandra
hi
sandra
whenever
you're
ready,
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks
for
the
opportunity,
a
couple
things
I
wanted
to
talk
about
our
cleanups
this
last
weekend.
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
we
received
quite
a
few
volunteers.
We
focused
on
the
downtown
area.
This
is
community
driven
by
the
cleaning
san
bruno
now,
and
some
of
the
people
who
are
out
volunteering.
Us
haven't
been
to
our
downtown
area,
10
15
20
years,
and
they
live
here
in
san
bruno
and
they
said
they
were
reminded
exactly
of
why
they
don't
go
down
there.
D
There
was
a
lot
of
very
dirty
areas
with
litter
all
over
the
streets,
as
we
picked
up
garbage
cans
just
flowing
over
the
the
storm
drains.
We
can't
get
to
those
so
those
had
you
know
cigarette
butts,
every
type
of
filth
in
there
and
people
did
start
talking
about
how
we're
going
to
have
changes
coming
up,
how
we're
going
to
be
doing
something
with
our
downtown,
which
we've
talked
about
that
a
long
time.
Well,
I
encourage
in
the
meantime
to
do
what
we
can,
because
we
don't
know
when
those
changes
are
coming.
D
So
if
it's
possible
to
get
a
cleaning
person
on
san
mateo
avenue
on
sunday
mornings,
it
is
the
dirtiest
day
of
the
week
after
everybody's
partied
on
friday.
That
would
be
very
beneficial
until
something
else
happens.
Another
thing
code
enforcement
needs
to
be
boots
on
the
ground
on
san
mateo
avenue.
There
are
so
many
visible
violations
that
are
making
our
downtown
look
very
ugly.
D
Some
of
them
have
their
garbage
cans
in
front
overflowing
with
garbage
food
scraps,
weeds,
growing,
dirty,
filthy
storefronts.
Some
look
like
they've
had
oil
thrown
at
them,
and
so
the
important
thing
is:
let's
do
what
we
can
right
now.
You
have
the
residents
completely
behind
any
efforts,
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
real
lost
opportunity
to
wait
until
the
stars
aligned
for
like
the
perfect
thing,
when
we're
going
to
do
everything
downtown,
which
you
know
I've
been
here
30
years,
I've
been
told
this
is
a
transitioning
area.
D
Things
are
coming,
yeah,
they've
only
gotten
worse.
Unfortunately,
the
last
thing
I
do
want
to
say
is
el
cristo
that
property
man
we're
getting
a
second
bite
at
that
apple.
It's
absolutely
amazing,
so
I
hope
in
this
process,
it'll
be
completely
transparent,
doing
something
really
great
with
our
community,
maybe
something
in
the
park,
but
it's
something
that
should
not
negatively
impact
the
area
and
the
residents
there.
You
know
good
things
could
be
coming
ahead,
but
we
we
have
to
move
past,
making
up
excuses
instead
of
telling
us
what
you
can
do.
B
B
Okay,
so
we
will
now
get
into
our
study
sessions.
We
have
two
items
this
evening.
The
first
one
is
receive
a
presentation
and
provide
direction
regarding
greenery
and
landscaping
of
downtown
streetscape,
centennial,
plaza
and
posey
park,
and
first
we'll
turn
it
over
to
our
city
manager.
Who
then
also
we
will
have
our
community
services
director
also
participating
as
well.
C
E
As
the
mayor
said
for
a
study
session
on
our
downtown
streetscape
and
two
of
our
special
areas,
downtown
centennial
park
and
cozy
centennial
plaza
and
hosing
park,
so
the
idea
tonight
is
to
present
council
with
a
number
of
options
and
let
you
know
of
the
staff's
progress
on
the
downtown
areas.
We
are.
E
And
so
now
we
want
to
take
that
down
to
the
block
by
block
schematic
design
level.
And
so
that's
what
we'll
be
talking
about,
as
well
as
a
quick
win
for
centennial
plaza
and
then
really
wanting
to
provide
you
with
some
rich
information
and
find
a
direction
for
where
we
want
to
go
with
cozy
park.
So
with
that.
C
E
F
All
right,
let's
get
to
slideshare
so
yeah,
I'm
anne
montola,
your
community
services
director
in
this
evening.
I'm
really
pleased
to
present
several
projects
from
the
conceptual
downtown
streetscape
plan
for
your
consideration
and
tonight
we're
specifically
talking
about
products
that
are
related
to
landscape
and
parks.
F
As
you
recall,
in
october,
2019
council
adopted
a
conceptual
downtown
street
state
plan
and
there
were
a
number
of
recommended
improvements
to
activate
public
spaces
to
green
the
downtown,
with
trees
and
plantings,
update
amenities
provide
wayfinding.
The
intention
of
all
these
different
elements
was
to
create
a
cohesive
and
unique
downtown
identity.
F
So
the
first
project
area
for
consideration
is
greening
and
landscaping.
San
mateo
avenue
the
adopted
streetscape
plan
included
restoration
of
trees
to
the
downtown
corridor,
and
this
some
of
the
images
that
you'll
see
are
taken
from
the
adopted
streetscape
plan,
so
you're
all
familiar
with
the
existing
conditions.
You're
familiar
with
the
plantings,
which
are
in
49
large
planters,
that
line
san
mateo
avenue
in
genevan,
the
planters
contained
a
mixed
variety
of
plants
and
trees.
F
F
Some
of
our
planters
have
trees
and,
as
you
can
see,
they're
not
faring
so
well,
maybe,
except
for
the
one
in
front
of
grand
leader,
and
I
have
no
idea
what
mike
is
feeding
it.
But
that's
like
the
only
tree
that
is
that
robust
on
the
avenue
and
so
what
we're
finding
in
the
planners
there's
a
restriction
of
the
root
ball.
That's
causing
many
of
the
trees
to
fail
and
those
that
are
surviving.
F
With
the
exception
to
100
grand
leader
really
are
not
thriving.
Then
we
have
the
planters
and
those
plants
in
the
planters
pose
another
challenge.
So
the
downtown
has
several
different
microclimates.
So
the
same
plant
is
going
to
react
differently
depending
on
where
the
location
is
on
san
mateo
avenue.
F
That's
why
you
see
that
not
all
of
the
planters
are
activated
they're,
really
trying
to
see
what
will
grow,
what
will
thrive
and
then
they
want
to
grow
on
success.
So
the
images
in
this
slide
show
a
number
of
our
different
successful
results.
So
in
the
upper
left
is
lavender
and
red
lantana.
It's
a
little
overgrown
at
some
of
the
older
plantings
that
we
have
the
right-hand
plant
with
the
tree.
It's
a
newer
planting.
F
F
F
In
the
conceptual
streetscape
plan,
the
installation
is
actually
called
out
in
bulb
outs,
similar
to
what
you
see
on
the
right
in
burlingame,
sidewalk
aligned,
installation
with
tree
brakes
is
also
an
option.
The
photo
on
the
left
is
from
milbray.
There
might
also
be
some
other
potential
solutions
that
we
need
to
explore.
C
F
To
layer,
landscaping,
elements
with
grade
level
plantings,
and
I
wanted
to
show
you
an
example
of
this
in
burlingame.
These
are
examples
of
plantings,
incorporated
into
stormwater
retention
areas,
and
what
you
can
see
is
it
adds
color
and
screening,
and
it's
actually
a
purposeful
installation
as
well.
F
F
So
starting
with
centennial
plaza,
we
are
familiar.
We
are
all
familiar
with
the
location
in
this
image
here,
so
I
want
to
take
a
look
at
the
the
plan,
view
and
kind
of
walk
you
through
what
is
existing,
so
the
plantings
from
this
I'm
going
to
go
from
cinema
tapes,
san
mateo,
avenue,
heading
east,
so
the
plantings
that
from
san
mateo,
avenue,
they're
rather
low
and
rather
sparse.
The
illustration
actually
makes
them
look
a
little
bit
more
colorful
and
robust
than
what's
there.
F
The
area
surrounding
the
fountain
is
relatively
level,
but
it
slopes
down
towards
the
right
towards
the
east
end
of
the
parcel
so
that
central
planting
area
that
you
see
it
serves
more
as
a
barrier
to
keep
pedestrians
from
gaining
access
to
the
unleveled
portion
of
the
site.
And
while
there
are
elements
like
the
fountain
that
try
to
add
some
visual
interest,
the
existing
closet
is
currently
not
a
program
space
and
that's
the
challenge.
We
really
want
to
improve
the
plaza,
so
people
use
it.
F
It
becomes
activated,
and
so
staff
has
worked
on
a
plan
which
we
believe
that
we
could
execute
in
in
a
relatively
short
timeline,
a
relatively
low
budget
and
in
a
good
timeline,
and
the
intention
was
to
make
this
a
place
which
was
more
usable,
a
place
where
people
actually
kind
of
spent
time
in
the
park
so
again
going
from
san
mateo
avenue,
east
plantings
on
san
mateo
avenue
side
right
at
that
entry.
We
want
to
do
something
that
marks
that
this
is
an
entry
and
in.
F
F
When
you
see
the
planting
in
the
middle
it's
thinned
out
and
that
arc
is
a
retaining
wall,
so
everything
to
the
east
of
it.
We
can
level
out
and
then
create
more
usable
space
there,
and
then
you
see
tables,
and
so
the
idea
is
there's
been
certainly
an
upsurgence
of
eating
outdoors.
We
really
want
to
encourage
people
to
come
down
to
this.
F
Our
downtown
has
like
an
amazing
assortment
of
restaurants,
and
this
is
a
really
perfect
space
for
people
to
come
and
to
congregate
and
to
really
have
this
a
usable,
active,
vibrant
space
in
the
lower
right
hand,
part
of
the
picture
you'll
see
kind
of
a
gazebo
and
depending
on
a
partner
restaurant,
it
could
be
something
which
they
want
to
install
there.
So
they
have
a
dedicated
space
to
send
their
patrons.
F
F
If
you
were
to
go
and
look
in
the
basins
and
and
look
at
the
fountain
structure,
you'll
see
exposed
rebar,
spelling
of
the
concrete
and
the
waterproofing
seal
coat,
which
is
almost
on
the
entire
structure
that
you
see
in
this
picture.
It's
peeling
and
flaking
off.
It's
a
very
significant
failure
of
that
coding.
F
Also,
there
was
a
leak
that
was
found
and
so
staff
has
been
gone.
We've
gone
through
different
processes
of
elimination
to
investigate
the
source
of
the
leak,
and
so
we
have
the
fountain
people
that
work
with
the
fountain
plumbing
water
department
and
leak
detection
to
come
out
and
what
we,
the
good
news,
is
that
the
fountain
plumbing
is
intact.
So
we
know
that
that
water
system
is
a
good,
viable
option
or
some
of
the
options
that
we're
going
to
talk
about.
F
F
Three
restores
the
fountain
and
adds
landscaping,
restores
the
fountain
surfacing
and
then
adds
landscaping
to
the
lower
basins
and
it's
a
it's
a
fairly
significant
price
tag
for
not
a
lot
of
space,
because
the
basins
are
only
18
inches.
So,
in
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
and
bringing
in
people
to
kind
of
give
us
guesstimates
and
whatnot
there
may
be,
we
may
need
to
do
some
excavation
of
the
concrete
to
give
us
more
depth.
So
there's
more
success
of
any
plantings
that
we
put
there
and
option.
F
Option
five
is
to
take
a
note
from
the
streetscape
plan
and
to
kind
of
revisualize
and
renovate
the
entire
plaza.
This
is
more
of
intentional
place,
making
to
include
elements
that
engage
people
to
encourage
them
to
spend
more
time
there,
rather
than
just
be
more
of
a
a
pass-through
caltrain
plaza
where
they
just
kind
of
go
on
their
way
to
the
training
platform.
F
So
at
this
point,
we're
looking
for
direction
on
the
greening
and
landscaping
the
implementation
plan
for
centennial
direction
on
cozy
park
and
direction
on
on-call
landscape,
architectural
services.
That
would
really
give
great
assistance
to
execute
all
of
these
different
elements.
And
that
concludes
my
presentation.
B
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
at
this
time.
If
there
are
any
members
of
the
public
that
wish
to
speak
on
this
topic,
now
would
be
the
time
if
you
could
please
to
raise
the
virtual
hand
and
again
keeping
it
to
the
items
that
were
presented
that
you
just
saw
a
moment
ago
and
city
clerk.
If
you
and
then
we
will
come
back
to
council
for
discussion,
I'm
sorry
questions,
discussions
and
direction.
City
clerk.
If
we
can
call
in
the
public.
I
I
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
also
say
that
I
think
that
the
council
should
look
deep
in
funding
all
of
what
she
put
up
there.
I
think
these
are
the
steps
that
are
needed
to
create
an
environment
that
invites
the
kind
of
business
businesses
that
we
want
on
the
avenue,
and
I
would
hate
to
see
us
cut
this
short
because
we're
talking
about
history
and
the
future
of
what
our
downtown
looks
like
and
we
all
know-
we've
been
anyone.
I
Who's
lived
here
for
any
length
of
time
at
all
knows
that
the
public
wants
to
see
a
more
vibrant
downtown.
So
I'd
like
to
say
that
I'd
also
like
to
say
kind
of
piggyback
on
a
little
bit
to
what
sondra
said
earlier,
we've
been
asking
for
code
enforcement
and
some
attention
from
city
for
a
long
time
down
the
avenue,
and
I
really
think
this
is
the
right
time
to
do
it
mix
it
in
it'll.
Help
prepare
us
for
the
changes
that
are
coming.
I
I
think
you
should
think
long
and
hard,
though
about
putting
up
benches
tables
and
benches
just
because
the
benches
invite
people
to
to
lay
on
them
it's
more
of
those
chair
things
that
need
to
go
up,
but
I'm
sure
that
the
whoever's
designing
this
will
will
be
able
to
lead
you
the
right
direction.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
C
C
B
Thank
you
for
your
comments
and
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
speaker.
So
we
will
end
with
the
public
comments
on
this
topic
and
where
there
was
a
question
which
was
in
regards
to
the
fountain
and
obviously,
we've
had
a
little
wind
in
san
bruno
and
so,
if
that's
still
viable,
or
that
there
was
not
an
option
in
regards
to
not
having
the
fountains.
E
B
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
Now
we
have
them
in
my
colleagues
three
areas
and
maybe
we
can
take
each
area,
so
we
don't
keep
going
all
around.
Why
don't
we
start
with
the
greening
and
landscaping?
So
we'll
start
with
that?
One
for
questions
on
the
presentation
to
staff
for
so
questions
your
direction,
not
your
commentary.
Just
any
questions
on
that
topic.
A
I
also
want
to
thank
thanks
ann
for
a
great
presentation,
very,
very
clear
and
thank
all
staff
for
working
on
this
and
bringing
this
to
us.
Everybody
knows
that
this
is
that
this
is
a
something
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
and
I'm
very
very
pleased
that
we're
talking
about
it.
One
comment
that
I
have
on
the
on
the
the
greening
of
downtown
that
I
wear
when
that
effort
to
identify
appropriate
trees
for
planting.
A
One
thing
thing
I
didn't
see
in
the
in
the
notes
that
I
think
we
should
take
into
consideration
would
be
to
identify
tree
species
that,
when
they're
mature,
have
a
high
canopy
so
that
we
don't
obstruct
the
storefronts
so
like,
for
example,
in
that
group
that
great
picture
in
front
of
grand
leader
of
the
one
healthy
tree.
You
can't
tell
if
the
grand
leader,
unless
you
know,
because
the
sign
is
completely
obscured
by
the
healthy
tree
and
it's
not
the
trees
fall.
A
This
is
how
that's
how
it's
going
to
grow
when
it's
in
the
pot.
So
the
that's,
that's
something
I
think
we
should
that
we
should
look
at.
You
know
the
the
the
height
of
maturity
and
how
the
how
the
canopy
forms
on
the
particular
species
that
we
that
we
identified,
I'm
very
very
supportive
of
of
the
the
direction
to
start
moving
on
this
for
trees.
So
I'll
stop
there.
J
J
J
J
J
J
It's
a
it's
an
interest.
Interesting
word:
choice:
cohesive
our
downtown,
isn't
collective!
Is
it
eclectic
funky,
different
eras
of
architecture?
I
mean
I
would
quit
using
the
word
cohesive
because
it
doesn't
fit
our
downtown.
It
is
its
own
eclectic
vibe
there
with
with
the
variety
the
with
the
diversity
but
nonetheless
250
000
in
design.
J
I
would
like
to
see
that
broken
down
a
little
bit
more,
but
I
think
we
need
this
landscape
architect
to
be
involved
with
centennial
plaza
for
the
selection
of
those
plants
of
those
trees
and
in
posey
park,
but
I
don't
want
to
jump
too
far
ahead.
So
I'll
leave
those
comments
there
and
once
again,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
H
Okay,
so
for
the
greening
and
landscaping
concept,
I
was
just
wondering
what
what
the
cost
is
there,
like
a
a
scale
of
cost
that
we're
looking
at
as
well,
and
then
I
wanted
to
ask
when
you're
looking
at
what
exactly
is
going
to
be
planted?
I
know
that
one
of
the
issues
I've
heard
has
been
like
a
broken
pipe
of
some
sort
for
the
pots
that
are
existing.
H
So
is
there
anything
that
we
can
do
to
make
sure
the
plants
are
drought,
tolerant,
so
that
the
beauty
of
the
plants
are
not
reliant
on
water
and
then
are
we
also
looking
at
the
maintenance
of
whatever
it
is
that
we
are
going
to
plan?
We
have
been
really
short
staffed.
We
don't
know
how
long
that's
going
to
last.
F
One
of
your
first
questions
was
the
overall
cost.
That's
actually
one
of
the
that's
within
the
scope
of
what
we
need
a
landscape
architect
to
help
us
with,
because
again
until
we
know
what
we're
dealing
with,
we
really
can't
estimate
the
cost.
So
I
don't
mean
to
be
big
or
dodge
that,
but
that's
the
reality
of
that
situation
as
far
as
and
as
far
as
the
the
drought,
tolerant
plants,
sustainable
maintenance.
That
is
another
thing
that
somebody
with
expertise
can
come
in
and
help
us
with
from
the
get
go
from
the
time.
F
B
H
What
was
that?
That's?
Actually
that
answers
it
the
broken.
Well,
I
mean
that
would
be
an
additional
question
that
mayor
medina,
I
think,
is
a
good
point
is:
is
there
a
cost
associated
or
are
we
interested
in
fixing
that
pipe?
But
really?
But
my
intention
of
my
other
question
was
just
to
make
sure
that
it's
drought,
tolerant
whatever
it
is
that
we
get,
but
I
think
that's
a
good
question,
because
my
understanding
is
that
that's
one
of
the
reasons
there's
been
a
delay
just.
E
To
keep
yeah,
I
think,
connected
to
that
question
was
marty's
question
about
the
design
build,
and
so
the
250
000
is
really
our
best
professional
guess
on
what
it
would
cost
to
do.
The
schematic
design
now
we're
going
to
have
to
do
an
rfp
and
get
bids,
and
so
we'll
hone
in
on
that
number.
But
right
now
this
project
is
not
funded,
so
we're
not
able
to
break
down
the
cost.
G
E
E
J
E
Money
will
come
from.
We
are
currently
in
the
process
of
our
budget
development,
so
I
do
not
know
that
we'll
have
general
fund
money,
and
so
we
may
be
looking
for
other
types
of
funds
to
fund
that
from
potentially
measure
fees
potentially
other
funds,
but
as
we're
developing
the
budget.
If
this
is
a
prior
priority
of
the
council,
that
is
the
next
step
is
to
actually
put
some
money
behind
this
project
and
try
and
fund
it
in
the
2122
budget.
H
Okay,
great
and
I'm
just
a
thank
you
to
director
mattola.
I
know
you're
fairly,
new
and
you've
really
jumped
into
this
and
a
number
of
meetings
I've
been
on
with
you,
so
I
really
appreciate
the
quick
turnaround
on
on
some
of
these
requests
and
just
moving
so
so
quickly
since
you
got
in
so.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
K
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
my
thanks
to
staff
for
for
bringing
this
next
step
a
while
back.
It's
been,
it's
been
a
while
now,
since
we
approved
the
first
funding
the
streetscape
plan,
so
that
was
a
few
years
back
and
there
were
concerns
back
then
that
you
know
we
were
going
to
spend
money
on
the
plan
and
then
it
would
just
sit
on
a
shelf
and
it
would
never
move
anywhere.
K
It's
you
know,
price
tag
that
looks
reasonable,
something
that
we
could
definitely
work
into
a
budget.
If
we
could
get
additional
funding
from
the
outside,
it
would
definitely
make
this
very,
very
doable,
and
I
think
it
would
have
a
huge,
huge
impact
on
on
the
appearance
of
downtown.
So
out
of
all
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at,
I
think
this
is
one
that
we
definitely
want
to
prioritize.
F
I
don't
know
that
they've
determined
it
yet.
So
my
understanding
is
there's
the
team
that
works
downtown,
that's
been
trying
all
the
different
plantings
they've
also
been
they've
repaired,
much
of
the
irrigation.
So
a
lot
of
the
issues
where
there
were
leaked
breakages
and
I
don't
know
that
they
determined
if
this
is
not
repairable
or
if
they
just
haven't
gotten
to
it.
Yet
I
can
find
out.
J
J
B
Thank
you
and
city
manager.
When
you
respond
to
that.
Maybe
we
can
be
very
clear.
I
don't
want
to
mislead
or
not
mislead,
but
just
there
are
no
measure
k
funds
that
are
assigned
for
this,
as
the
city
manager
said
just
so,
people
think
like
okay,
well,
it's
paid
for.
So
what
are
we
waiting
on?
So
it
is
about
developing
the
budget,
bringing
it
forward
finding
the
revenue
source
it's
for
250
000
at
this
time,
but
city
managers
are
answering
the
vice
mayor.
B
E
E
That
may
potentially
be
able
to
be
used
for
closing
park
and
centennial
plaza
question
mark
we're
still
looking
into
that.
With
regards
to
other
development
impact
fees,
it
is
unclear
right
now
if
we
have
development
impact
fee
revenue
that
can
be
used
for
greening
and
improving
the
streetscape
downtown.
I
know
that
that
question
is
out
there,
I'm
just
not
at
a
point
where
I
can
give
you
an
answer
on.
Are
there
development
impact
you
used
to
use
for
for
those
funds,
but
based
on
council
direction?
E
Lastly,
with
regard
to
what
will
250
000
dollars
provide,
that
is
our
best
estimate
on
what
it
would
cost
to
do.
The
professional
design
work
coming
from
conceptual
to
schematic
a
block
by
block
design.
Looking
at
everything
that
ann
talked
about
what
type
of
plants
looking
at
the
infrastructure,
looking
at
exactly
where
how
large
etc.
E
Yesterday.
We
will
absolutely
work
as
fast
as
we
can
and
but
I
think
we
all
agree
and
we've
talked
about
that.
Designing
it
and
having
the
right
plan
is
important
for
the
long
run.
So
the
trees
grow
to
the
right
height
and
they're
the
right
species
and
the
canopy
is
the
right
height
and
they're
drought,
tolerant
and
water.
They
would
maintain
and
then
they
survive.
E
B
C
J
J
J
E
The
250
k
is
a
separate
effort
to
identify
to
hire
a
landscape
architect
to
design
a
greening
and
landscaping
plan
for
downtown
schematic
block
by
block
design.
We
need
to
find
funding
for
that
and
we've
talked
about
the
foundation.
We've
talked
about
other
possible
money
that
the
city
may
have
for
that.
E
So
it's
also
worth
noting
that
pulsing
park
came
up
because
of
the
request
from
councilmember
mason.
We
combined
this
study
session
to
talk
about
the
next
level
of
the
speech
streetscape
plan,
because
we've
been
talking
about
that
through
your
council
retreat.
It's
a
strategic
initiative.
The
council
has
stated
that
we
really
want
to
make
progress
on
that.
We
did
not
make
progress
on
that
in
2020,
due
to
covenant,
funding
and
and
and
other
things.
So
we
wanted
to
use
this
opportunity
to
come
to
you
and
say:
okay.
Well,
we
have
the
streetscape
plan.
E
E
We
don't
have
10
million
dollars,
but
what
can
we
do
next
year
and
that's
begin
with
the
greening
and
landscaping
plan?
The
other
item
of
making
improvements
to
centennial
plaza
is
coming
to
you,
because
that
is
developed
as
a
staff
initiative
as
we're
walking
downtown,
as
we
see
that
there
needs
to
be
improvements
in
centennial
we're
talking
to
businesses
that
would
like
some
outside
dining
and
we
began
to
have
conversations
with
some
of
our
landscape
vendors
saying.
J
J
B
H
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
vice
mayor
medina
for
his
kind
words,
but
I
I
do
agree
with
c
manager
grogan
that
it
started
with
a
posey
park
and
the
conversation
expanded
from
there.
So
just
for
the
record,
but
it
was
vice
mayor
medina.
I
think
who
definitely
since
even
before
I
was
on
the
council,
has
really
been
pushing
for
the
greening
of
downtown.
So
I
am
hoping
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
find
a
way
to
make
all
three
of
these
possible
sooner
rather
than
later.
H
One
thing
I
do
want
to
ask
for
is
a
commitment
from
the
manager
or
the
city
manager
that
we
have
an
update
on
where
we
are
with
this
in
three
months.
So
if
the
landscape
architect
has
not
been
actually
procured
and
gotten
within
three
months,
then
that
you
have
to
come
back
to
council
again
to
let
us
know,
because
we
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
these
are
that
this
particular
request
is
moving
forward
as
quickly
as
possible.
B
And
thank
you
for
your
comments,
city
manager.
I
know
I
think
you're
saying
you
would
work
it
into
the
budget.
We
don't
vote
on
the
budget
until
june.
You
have
to
find
the
money
there
so
in
essence
we're
in
april
so
may
june.
Then
it
hits
july
when
the
budget
goes
into
effect
july
1st.
So
in
essence
he
probably
won't
my
assumption
city
manager
will
verify
would
not
have
been
prepared
by
july
to
say
it
already.
I
think
I
could
say
today
it
would
not
be
prepared
by
july,
but
maybe.
E
You
will
not
be
able
to
enter
into
contract
until
there's
funding
as
we
sit
right
now
if
we're
able
to
fund
it
with
city
funds
that
will
come
to
you
in
the
proposed
budget.
You
will
take
action
in
june
and
the
the
money
will
be
available
july
1,
and
then
we
can
identify
and
enter
into
contract
with
the
vendor.
B
As
well
as
I
think
in
strategic
initiatives,
we
also
talked
about
twice
a
year
or
about
theirs.
Our
discussions
to
have
the
initiative
updates
right.
Where
are
we
at
how
much
percentage
are
we
25
percent
through
50?
Just
so,
we
have
some
way
to
gauge
it
and
there's
a
lot
of
them.
So
some
some
kind
of
update,
I
think,
is
what
the
council
had
had
dialogued
about
than
just
once
a
year.
So
we
see
it,
you
know
maybe
at
least
twice
okay.
B
So
once
again,
I'm
going
to
reaffirm
that
on
the
greenery
and
landscaping
it
is
all
five
of
us
they're
saying
thank
you
to
the
director
for
her
presentation
and
getting
feedback
from
us.
We
appreciate
it,
and
so
is
to
direction,
is
to
go
ahead
with
that
city
manager.
Do
you
have
the
direction
needed
and
and
for.
B
I
I've
got
that
down,
sir,
so
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
second
item
that
in
the
presentation
that
came
up
which
was
centennial
park
as
a
reminder,
as
you
saw
some
of
the
visual
and
it
was
for
eighty
thousand
and
the
really
quick
the
one
thing
is.
I
know
you
talked
about
the
time
capsule
as
you
as
folks.
All
may
know
it's.
B
If
you
looked
at
it,
it's
a
way
ahead
of
schedule
to
be
opened
at
this
time,
but
it
has
have
staff
reached
out
to
rotary
just
to
see,
since
they
kind
of
you
know
facilitated
that
funded.
That
has
anybody
reached
out
to
them
just
to
see
what
their
thought
is
or
if
or
are
you
waiting
for
us
for
direction.
B
J
J
E
So
the
proposed
next
steps
is
that
we
would
strive
to
identify
funding
in
the
2021
budget
of
80
000.
So
we,
if
we
have
sufficient
general
fund
dollars,
we
will
propose
general
fund
or
we
will
look
at
other
other
pops
of
money.
But
one
idea
that
was
brought
up
tonight
that
we
are
looking
into
is
using
the
park
and
lutherans.
E
This
is
so
currently.
This
is
not
a
park,
it
is
a
close-off
area
and
I'm
not
sure
that
we
will
be
able
to
use
those
funds,
but
we
are.
We
are
looking
into
the
exact
verbiage
of
of
the
parking
loophole,
as
well
as
the
documents
surrounding
when
centennial
plaza
was
created
and
the
bank
was
purchased
and
this
plaza
developed.
J
J
J
A
a
programmable
space
like
a
really
and
when
I
look
when
I
think
of
that
I
would
think
of
of
potentially
having
shakespeare
in
our
downtown
on
a
little
stage
or
maybe
having
some
people
play
music
on
on
that
stage.
So
I'm
okay
with
the
the
shorter
term,
because
it's
just
dreadful
there
right
now,
but
just
kind
of
wanted
to
to
hear
staff's
kind
of
views
on
on
how
far
we
going
with
this.
E
Sort
of
something
that
we
could
do,
but
the
plan
is
to
do
it
nice
enough,
where
it
can
stand
the
time
and
that
could
be
centennial
plaza,
should
we
ever
have
funds
and
want
to
re-envision
it
absolutely.
The
streetscape
plan
included
things
like
that,
and
we
can.
We
can
look
at
having
a
more
programmed
space
there,
but
what
actually?
Why
don't?
I
turn
it
over
to
the
director
for
her
additional
thoughts.
F
Yeah,
so
I
think
echo
I
think
it
was
really
important
to
all
of
us
is
especially
being
downtown
now
and
getting
to
know
some
of
the
people
that
are
actually
working
there.
The
opportunity
to
have
a
rather
significant,
quick
win.
It's
really
important
and
you
can
tell
it's
really
important
to
the
community.
F
There
is
in
the
streetscape
plan,
I've
been
looking
at
the
different
options
and
it
was
really
a
lovely
activated
urban
park.
The
issue
is
that
the
ex
there's
your
significant
work,
it's
a
very
costly
proposition
to
be
able
to
transform
it
to
the
vision
in
the
streetscape
is
excavation
of
foundation.
That
remains
here
from
the
building
that
was
that
was
raised,
and
so
there's
the
cost
difference
to
wait
until
we
can
do
the
execution
to
that
plan
is
rather
substantial.
F
So
I
think
when
you
have
the
park
and
it's
activated-
and
it's
used
it
actually
it
will
it
again.
It
is
a
temporary
fix.
What
we're!
What
we're
putting
there
is
is
there's
no
hardscape,
so
it's
actually
easily
removed.
Should
funding
become
available
for
us
to
do
the
greater
more
more
permanent
vision
of
the
park.
E
J
J
J
J
J
So
so
please
don't
take
this
in
the
wrong
way,
but
I
think
I
think
our
our
community
really
really
wants
to
see
us
do
something
there
and
the
council
needs
to
be
more
involved.
So,
mr
mayor,
at
some
point
tonight,
I
I
I
hope
that
you
can
consider
my
request
to
have
a
subcommittee
I'd
be
happy
to
serve
on
it,
but
I
don't
need
to
serve
on
it.
I'm
just
I
just
wanted.
J
B
And
what
I
would
probably
say,
the
city
attorney
will
say:
we
can't
form
or
point
anything
tonight.
It
was
not
on
the
agenda
and
then
vice
mayor.
Maybe
I
need
to
we
can
we
can
talk
and
walk
just
as
far
as
I'll
be
talking
about
these
topics?
Are
we
talking
about
subsequent
topics?
Just
so
because
I
know
staff
will
say
well
all
five
of
you
gave
direction,
but
now
two
of
you.
J
H
H
This
is
really
a
request
for
direction
to
say
this
is
how
much
money
we
think
we
can
minimally
do
something
to
open
the
park
up
and
make
it
usable,
and
I
think,
if
that's
what
staff
is
asking
for,
then
I
definitely
support
it,
because
we
see
the
vast
difference
between
florida
park
before
and
after
our
own
staff
got
involved
and
assisted
in
beautifying
it.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
accurate.
H
A
So
I
I'm
also
supportive
of
of
this.
This
is
this
is
a
great
interim
long-term
interim,
I
guess,
is
a
good
way
to
put
it
a
solution
for
this
space.
I
would
like
to
see
us.
You
know
down
down
the
road,
come
back
to
do
a
more
permanent
grander
plan
once
we
have
funding
for
it,
but
this
is.
This
is
exactly
the
right
thing
to
do
now.
K
Thank
you,
you
know
so
my
concern.
Every
time
we
talk
about,
centennial
plaza
is
just
you
know
what
is
the
longer
term
vision
for
that
section
of
downtown
and
when
that
building
was
acquired
many
many
many
years
ago,
I
don't
think
it
was
ever
intended
to
be
preserved
as
a
public
space.
It
was
sort
of
an
interim
step.
K
K
K
I
heard
the
the
response
to
marty's
questions
and
it
sounds
like
this
is
definitely
going
to
be
designed
as
a
as
a
temporary,
easily
removed
thing
so
that
when,
if
and
when
those
other
plans
do
materialize,
we'll
be
able
to
to
reprogram
that
and
put
it
back
into
something,
that's
more
usable
at
eighty
thousand
dollars.
It's
definitely
a
good
investment
in
making
that
area
look
nice
in
the
interim.
K
I
know
that
the
the
current
the
current
setup
there
was
done
practically
at
no
cost
done
by
city
staff,
very
minimal
cost,
because
it
was
an
empty
lot
that
the
city
owned,
and
so
it
was.
It
was
beautified
and
looked
really
nice
at
first.
It's
definitely
gotten
a
little
shabby
over
time,
and
so
maybe
a
an
investment
to
just
kind
of
keep
it
going
in.
The
interim
would
be
a
good
infusion
there,
but
again
I
I
think
we
have
to.
B
Yeah
and
councilmember
salazar
is
right
on
the
history
was
wells.
Fargo
said
he
purchased
it
to
have
skin
in
the
game
to
be
for
my
time,
but
it
was
to
say,
hey
we're
part
of
san
mateo
avenue,
so,
let's,
let's
be
on
it
together.
Then,
as
it
was
said,
the
wells
fargo
facility
came
down.
The
foundation
still
remains
so
you
would
have
to
go
underneath
for
something
of
more
permanency
and
that
in
council,
member
salazar
is
correct.
B
That
was
done
with
city
staff,
no
consultants,
no
outside
architects
or
design,
and
it
was
done
with
stuff
items
whether
it
was
the
fountain
trees
and
vegetation
that
we
already
had
in
house.
So
it
was
done
very
nominally
because
what
it
was
was
a
high
chain-link
fence
that
got
the
newspapers
against
it
with
the
winds
and
the
weeds
on
the
other
side
of
the
fence.
So
that's
what
it
was
for
time,
and
so
this
was
supposed
to
be
temporary,
and
so
it
is
from
redevelopment
is
how
we
acquired
it.
B
I
know
sometimes
my
understanding
could
be
incorrect,
but
there
are
some
rules
as
far
as
it
being
open
space
and
that
I
don't
know
if
we
could
erect
building,
but
they
talked
about
using
it
as
a
a
drive
through
into
the
back
parking
or
to.
As
the
council
members
said,
to
have
something
more
long
term,
and
I
see
vice
mayor
medina
and
then
council,
member
hamilton.
J
J
A
So
I
should
have,
I
should
have
framed
my
statement
about
the
holiday
treat
more
of
as
a
question,
which
is:
is
it
f
it
would
it
be
feasible
to
do
a
it
would?
Obviously,
you
know
likely
be
an
artificial
tree,
because
we
would
want
to
use
it
for
for
three
to
four
years,
while
the
rack
is
being
constructed,
would
it
be
feasible
to
display
a
holiday
tree
in
in
centennial
plaza,
just
while
we're
just
while
the
the
the
park
is
under
construction,
and
we
likely
wouldn't
do
a
tree
lighting
in
the
park.
A
F
B
J
B
Yeah,
well,
it's
not
getting
beyond,
but
so
what
I'm
hearing-
and
I
want
to
reaffirm
that
for
the
80
000
as
kind
of
was
outlined
in
that
diagram-
is
that
there
is
concurrence.
Mr
hamilton
concurs
and
I
want
you
to
please
stop
me
and
correct
me.
Councilmember
mason
concurs
councilmember
salazar
vice
mayor
medina,
I'll,
concur,
okay,
I've,
gotten
acknowledgments
and
favorable
from
all
five.
B
Let's
move
on
to
the
final
of
the
three
cozy
park
and,
as
you
know,
folks,
as
a
reminder,
it
had
from
various
options
from
85
000
up
to
2
million.
So
talk
about
what
to
ask
for
for
christmas
and
boy,
there
is
a
range
of
of
course,
so
I
think
we
you
saw
kind
of
the
various
options.
Would
the
option
ideas
be
best
to
be
brought
back
up
on
the
shared
screen
for
everybody
to
see
them
again?
B
B
H
H
I
definitely
think
we
have
some
viable
options
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
throw
in
there
that
council,
member
hamilton
and
I
were
walking
this
weekend
and
that's
how
the
holiday
tree
idea
came
up
and
I
was
actually
going
to
mention
it
for
this
park.
I've
gone
back
and
forth
with
centennial
park,
but
the
reason
that
I
would
like
to
highlight
it-
and
you
know
I
spoke
with
city
manager
grogan
about
this
last
year
during
covid
thinking.
Maybe
people
can
come
outside
with
their
masks
on,
but
it
was
the
pandemic.
H
It
really
could
liven
up
the
really
what's
the
beginning
of
our
downtown
beginning
or
end
depending
on
what
side
you're
you're
seeing
it.
So
I
have
already
submitted
that
request
as
part
of
our
strategic
planning
for
saturday.
So
I
don't
want
to
be
here
too
much,
but
I
would
support
option
four
and
either
for
a
holiday
tree,
but
I
do
like
this
one
just
because
of
the
caltrain
passing
by
here.
K
Thank
you,
you
know.
Actually
you
know
out
of
out
of
all
of
them.
It
really
seems
like.
Maybe
five
would
would
be
the
one
to
shoot
for
if
we're,
if
we
really
wanna,
you
know,
do
something
with
that
area.
I
I
agree
with
linda
that
a
fountain
was
probably
a
bad
idea
when
we
decided
to
do
it
in
the
first
place,
and
so
spending
money
on
you
know,
waterproofing
and
restoring.
K
So
you
know
I
I
think.
If
we're
going
to
do
it,
we
should
do
it
right,
I
think,
trying
to
fix.
What's
there
is
only
going
to
end
up
looking
kind
of
half
baked.
Definitely
don't
want
to
do
another
fountain
there.
If
we
do
the
planning
and
we
have
to
break
up
what's
there,
it
seems,
like
you
know,
we're
halfway
toward
this
other
thing,
so
I
I
realize
that
the
two
million
dollars
is
probably
well
beyond
what
we
had.
A
E
Unfortunately,
the
the
staff
members
that
are
here
do
not
have
the
history
to
answer
that
definitively
with
all
the
research
that
we've
done
in
seeing
the
various
designs
that
that
came
forward
to
the
city
and
options
presented
to
the
city
council.
I
think
the
best
answer
that
I
could
give
you
is
that
it
was
in
partnership,
because
I
know
in
looking
at
fire
staff
proportion
draft
versions
that
we
have,
that
there
were
several
models
that
were
talked
about.
B
Internally,
right
and
mr
I'm
sorry,
councilmember
hamilton,
I'm
gonna
go
off
memory
and
that's
never
a
wise
thing
so
keep
it
with
that
is
for
all
council.
There
was
going
to
be
two
fountains.
First
of
all,
so
council
said:
let's,
let's
just
do
one,
it
was
going
to
be
one
on
the
on
the
east
side.
So
so
look
at
the
bright
side.
There's
one
fountain
not
too,
and
my
understanding
is
for
the
grade
separation.
Most
all
of
it
was
funded
through
grants
that
were,
I
think,
up
to
2014.
B
There
was
over
100
million
that
was
paid
for
the
city
very
paid.
Almost
nothing.
The
only
thing
it
was
going
to
go
in
partnership
was
the
arch
which
became
astronomical
from
500
to
a
million
that
they
wanted
from
the
city
and
then
from
their
part,
and
we
said
stop
so
then,
when
the
punch
list
was
achieved,
then
it
was
being
turned
over
to
city.
To
maintain
that's
my
memory,
but
councilmember
salazar
may
be
maybe
remember
as
well.
So
so
I
remember
councilmember
hamilton
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
more
stupid.
A
A
I
remember
it
cool,
thank
you
because
the
reason
that
I
ask
is
that
you
know
with
the
the
problems
that
are
happening
in
the
fountain,
that
that's
not
very
long.
It's
not
it's
not
that
old.
Considering
that
this
was
a
you
know,
a
municipal
structure
that
was
that
was
built,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
any,
we
have
any
legal
resource
recourse
to
go
back
to
caltrain
for
some
help
on
taking
care
of
this
problem
financially.
L
L
A
Okay,
so
so
I
I
don't
imagine
that
the
the
the
structural
problems
that
we're
seeing
in
the
fountain
we're
talking
we're
on
that
punch
list,
because
we
didn't
know
about
it.
Then
this
is
something
that
failed
years
later,
but
you're
saying
that
the
settlement
that
we
entered
into
said
basically
said
that
park
is
yours
and
we're
not
we're.
Never
going
to
worry
about
it
again
and
we
agreed
to.
L
That
right
it
actually
the
their
some
of
the
problems
with
fountain
were
were
evident
even
at
that
time
as
a
result
of
the
construction-
and
I
don't
have
why.
I
don't
have
the
settlement
agreement
in
front
of
me
and
can't
recall
all
of
the
all
the
details.
It
was
quite
a
while
ago.
In
any
event,
it
resolved
all
of
the
city's
claims
about
both
what
was
known
at
that
time
and
also
any
unknown
claims
that
that
might
have
already
accrued,
as
is
common
for.
Basically,
all
settlement
agreements.
A
A
What
I
worry
about,
though,
if
approving
option
five,
is
that,
because
there
isn't
a
pot
of
two
million
dollars
laying
around
to
to
fund
that
that
nothing
would
happen
in
the
in
the
short
or
even
medium
term.
So
I
guess
my
question
is:
I
know
a
lot
of
what's
in
option.
Four
is
in
option
five
or
vice
versa,
and
is
there
a?
Is
there
a
way
to
proceed
with
option
four,
while
still
keeping
option
five
on
the
table
as
a
long-term
goal.
C
E
Is
there
a
way
to
proceed
with
option
four
and
still
proceed
with
option
five,
unfortunately,
not
because
it
would
essentially
be
a
waste
of
funds
to
do
the
restoration
of
the
fountain
and
the
waterproofing
where
option
five
is
really
reinvigorating
the
entire
plaza,
which
means
demolition
of
that,
and
so
the
I
think,
the
best
way
to
break
up
the
options
is
one
through
four
is
reusing
the
existing
infrastructure
in
some
fashion
battle
or
no
fountain
option.
Five
is
a
complete
revisioning
that
will
begin
designer
landscape
architect,.
A
J
J
It
does
not
be
painted
on
on
this
on
the
actual
wall.
It
could
be
on
wood
or
other
media
and
then
adhered
to
the
or
bolted
to
the
walls
there,
just
so
that
it
doesn't
look
so
bland
and
and
so
nasty
so
and
then,
when
it
comes
down
to
option
five
yeah.
That's
that's
always
the
great
thing
to
have
to
have
a
brand
new
park
with
all
those
great
bells
and
whistles,
but
we
we
have
a
serious
financial
difficulty
doing
a
lot
of
things.
J
J
K
What's
happening
in
front
of
that
fountain,
which
is
the
area
that
could
be
usable,
used
to
be
a
park
there
now
there's
no
grass
or
anything
well,
except
for
that
little
mound,
but
you
know
maybe
focus
on
I'm
doing
something
there
and
then
coming
back
to
repairing
the
fountain
area
as
downtown
starts.
Evolving
and
more
funds
become
available
from
that
development.
J
J
B
E
E
E
So
it's
really
a
council
policy
system
when
we
talked
about
the
challenges
with
using
the
parking
lot
funds
earlier,
I
want
to
be
clear
that
was
on
centennial
plaza,
because
centennial
plaza
right
now
is
not
a
technical
park.
It
is
a
temporary
plaza
from
a
former
redevelopment
parcel
and
it's
essentially
a
holding
place
because
we
have
been.
E
E
In
addition,
it's
worth
clarifying,
I
think,
a
comment
that
council
member
medina
made
and
and
that
we
could
revise
a
500
000
figure.
If
we
do
not
do
a
water
feature.
The
85
000
for
restoration
of
the
surface
and
waterproofing
is
needed,
whether
we
do
planning
or
accounting,
because
the
the
plants
actually
have
to
drain
too.
So
we
would
need
to
repair
the
concrete.
The
exposed
green
bar
waterproof,
whether.
E
C
J
E
H
E
H
I
think
so,
I'm
not.
I
think
what
I'm
having
a
hard
time
grasping
is
that
it's
unclear
to
me
what
more
we're
getting
for
1.5
million
dollars.
So
I'd
like
to
better
understand
because
you're
taught
you're,
I
mean
you're
talking
about
taking
money
from
like
you
said,
three
million
dollars
could
go
fast.
H
F
F
So,
no
matter
what
we
do,
you're
going
to
see
the
massive
wall
when
you're
at
the
cloud,
it's
very
interesting
when
you
take
pictures
of
it,
it
doesn't
seem
to
have
that
same.
I
will
say:
oppressive
impact
is
when
you're
there,
and
it's
just
this
wave
of
this
beige
kind
of
wall,
we're
not
going
to
activate
the
fountain
there's
a
whole
stepped
area
which
will
end
up
just
being
this
odd
step.
Here
we
can't
make
any
of
this
go
away,
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
the
expectation
that
these
solutions
may
soften.
F
So
if
you
look
at
five,
what
it
does
is
what
the
streetscape
attempted
to
do
is
really
to
repurpose
that
whole
area
and
when
I,
as
I'm
reading
it
from
the
plan
view,
you
can
kind
of
see
that
the
fountain
isn't
a
isn't
a
fountain
right.
It's
this
wall.
It
looks
like
a
living
picture,
so
it's
very
green.
F
It's
a
shaded
area,
it's
a
place
which
is
more
inviting
to
gather
it
doesn't
have
the
starkness,
so
the
first
four
action
options,
no
matter
what
we
do,
it's
still
going
to
be
a
very
broad
apron
of
a
concrete
plaza
with
some
cool
treatments
and
cladding.
If
you
will
to
that
big
concrete
structure,
that's
there,
so
I
really
think
the
expectation
of
what
we'll
spend
the
money
on
it's
different.
So
we
can
kind
of
dress
it
up.
F
F
Regardless
of
what
we
do,
I
do
think
you
know
we're
moving
towards
this.
Let's
bring
in
an
expert,
let's
bring
somebody
in
that
knows:
material
abuse,
the
species,
the
plantings,
so
they
would
render
a
plan.
They
may
be
able
to
render
two
options:
the
interesting
thing
about
products
and
park
funding.
If
I
have
a
plan,
like
your
part,
funding
that
comes
up
and
you
can
apply
for
grants
to
transform
spaces-
and
you
can
always
do
what
we're
trying
to
do
now-
planning
it.
F
C
H
Very
helpful,
thank
you
and
for
five
then,
so
I
I
don't.
I
missed
it.
I
think
earlier
when,
until
you
just
said
this
right
now
so
this,
if
this
rendering
came
right
of
the
straight
out
of
the
streetscape
plan,
then
that
means
that
this
two
million
dollars
is
part
of
the
overall
budget
given
to
the
streetscape
plan
that
the
council
approved.
H
Is
that
also
is
that
right
then?
So
it's
not
like
you're
gonna
have
the
the
budget,
that's
in
the
streetscape
plan,
and
then
it's
gonna
be
like.
Oh,
this
is
two
million
dollars
which
is
more
than
had
been
anticipated
as
part
of
the
plan.
This
is
part
of
the
overall
budget
and
the
phasing
is
that
right.
E
E
The
plan
was
done,
council
accepted
the
plan,
it's
a
20
million
dollar
plan.
It
was
never
funded
and
so
there's
no
fun
no
identified
funding
to
follow
through
on
implementation.
This
would
be
a
carved
out
of
that
plan
to
look
at
making
a
new
two
million
dollar
part
ballpark
at
closing
car
or
reutilizing
the
existing
infrastructure.
H
Well,
let
me
let
so
I
I'm
sorry,
I
don't
think
you
maybe
I
wasn't
clear
on
the
question,
so
I
understand
that
the
money
is
not
budgeted
the
20
million
dollars,
but
it
was
broken
down
into
phases,
and
so
this
slide.
If
it
came
out
of
the
streetscape
plan,
then
the
20
million
should
be
out
of
the
20
million.
That
had
been
estimated
and
that's
my
question:
is
this
a
a
whole
separate?
E
H
A
So
a
lot
of
my
questions
were
answered
by
director
montola's,
very
complete
answer
to
linda's
question.
So
looking
at
all
this
and
learning
about
the
the
the
park
and
lou
fund
and
what
we
potentially
could
use-
and
all
of
that
I
I
don't
you
know-
I
I'm
you
know
I'm
with
councilmember
salzer.
I
don't
like
the
idea
of
you
know
dressing
up
what's
here
if
we
can
do
it
correctly,
but
I
also
don't
like
the
idea
of
adopting
a
plan
that
can't
be
funded
from
for
many
years.
I
don't
think
we're
there.
A
A
A
That
would
be-
and
if
that's
something
that's
that's
feasible-
that
we
can
get
started
on
getting
the
getting
the
being
able
to
do
the
short-term
funding
to
do
the
design
to
make
a
shovel-ready
project
that
makes
it
easier
to
get
grants
for
so
that
we're
ready
to
do
it.
I
would
be
supportive
of
that.
C
K
K
This
is
part
of
a
plan
that
we've
already
approved
we're
committed
to
this
and
that
the
what
was
in
the
streetscape
plan
is
what
we're
talking
about
now
versus
trying
to
do
a
short.
You
know
quick
win
to
use.
Javon's
words.
You
know
trying
to
get
a
quick
win
out
of
this,
and
if
it
is
a
quick
win
that
will
eventually
be
torn
down
to
make
way
for
our
ultimate
vision,
then
it's
not
a
good
use
of
our
monies
in
the
short
term.
K
So
you
know,
if
we're
going
to
go,
ask
for
measure
k
funding
and
if
it's
something
we
could
use
at
centennial
and
it's
not
something
that
we
can
pull
out
of
park
and
lew.
Then
I
think
we
go
that
route
and
maybe
just
stay
the
course
on
this.
Look
at
it
long
term.
If
we
make
the
investment,
let's
make
it
in
the
initial
design
and
start
moving
that
street
streetscape
plan
forward,
rather
than
looking
at
quick.
You
know
shortcuts.
B
F
E
Things
in
a
vacuum,
because
if
we
are
sort
of
zeroing
zeroing
in
on
option
five,
because
we're
thinking-
oh,
let's
fund
it
with
park
and
lou,
I
really
think
that
that
question
really
needs
to
go
in
context
with
your
capital
budget
planning
discussion,
where
you're
looking
at
all
of
your
park
needs
across
the
city,
because
that
is
our
right.
Now,
our
only
pot
of
money
that
we
have
within
our
discretion
to
improve
our
parts
and
the
the
needs
in
our
park
system
far
outstrips
every
dollar
in
there.
C
H
E
E
That
said,
absolutely
re-envisioning
the
park,
as
identified
in
the
streetscape
plan
for
a
2
million
more
park,
is
something
that
would
absolutely
be
very
beautiful
and
something
that
we
may
want
to
go
down
as
a
city.
But
I
I
just
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
there
may
or
may
not
be
the
near-term
funding
for
that,
depending
on
what.
C
E
We
typically
do
not
factor
highly
high
on
that
scale,
because
this
is
not
the
type
of
park
in
a
underserved
neighborhood
that
meets
the
criteria,
for
example,
that
we
were
able
to
meet
with
florida
park.
When
we
looked
at
the
prop
68
funding
the
park
grant
funding
florida
park
was
an
area
that
qualified,
but
other
areas
in
the
city
did
not
qualify
and
we.
C
E
That
will
be
looked
at
as
beneficial
or
meeting
the
grant,
criterias
that
are
out
there
and,
as
it's
currently
configured
as
more
of
a
entry
point
to
the
train
station,
it
may
not
care
high
in
grant
funds,
and
I
know
that
was
a
lot.
But
I
just
want
to.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
the
totality.
E
B
Okay,
real
quick,
because
I
do
because
I
I'm
going
to
assume
that's
not
a
good
thing
to
do,
but
council,
member
mason
and
vice
mayor
medina
may
have
just
a
follow-up
question
or
a
comment
on
that.
And
then
so.
Let
me
defer
to
councilman
mason
and
vice
mayor
medina.
If
we
could
start
to
wind
this
up,
because
I
think
we've
all
had
a
good
dialogue
council
member.
B
J
I
heard
loud
and
clear
what
our
city
manager
said.
We
have
millions
of
dollars
in
improvements
needed
at
our
city
parks.
All
of
them
could
use
a
little
bit
more
love
and
money,
and
we
haven't
yet
even
came
up
to
that
discussion
and
heard
from
the
park
and
rec
department.
I'm
sorry
the
park
and
rec
commission
on
their
recommendations
on
where,
where,
where
is
the
need
in
san
bruno
for
parks,
right
so
with
when
this
opportunity
came
up,
250
000,
yeah,
hey
great,
let's
go
ahead
and
go
for
it!
J
J
B
H
B
H
So
there
is
a
stronger
argument
for
measure
k
funds
when
you
link
it
to
the
county,
because
they're
meant
for
county
funds,
so
it
doesn't
mean
that
cities
haven't
received
those
funds.
I
believe
one
of
the
cities
in
down
the
peninsula
or
up
the
peninsula
received
almost
a
million
dollars
for
their
park.
H
There's
a
number
of
gives
similar
to
that,
but
I
did
just
want
to
say
that
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
that
my
focus
was
intentionally
around
posey
park
was
really
to
improve
our
chances
of
getting
the
funds
and
hopefully
more
funds,
and
then
I
did
want
to
ask
with
the
development
that's
coming
from
youtube
and
some
of
these
other
sources.
How
quickly
can
that
park
in
lieu
fun
be
replenished.
E
The
park
and
move
feed
was
eliminated
when
we
created
a
comprehensive
set
of
development
impacts,
and
so
money
will
go
for
new
development
into
development
impact
fees,
and
there
is
a
portion
of
development
impact
fees
that
can
be
used
for
park
infrastructure.
I
know
that's
a
nuanced
question
but
sort
of
think
about
it
as.
C
E
E
E
And
those
payments
are
due,
I
believe,
at
building
permit
issuance,
so
that's
at
least
a
year
from
entitlement,
and
so
we
may
be
talking
about
24
months.
If
that
project
proceeds
rapidly.
There's
improvements
at
the
sears
building
and
a
potential
redevelopment
there
likely
two
years
away
before
they'll
speak.
Certainly
so
I
would
say
there's
several
years
before
there
are
significant
development
impact
dollars
paid
to
do
significant
parts.
H
A
Well,
I
actually,
I
just
had
a
clarifying
question
on
the
the
the
the
the
impact
fees
city
manager.
You
said
that
that
a
portion
of
those
are
can
be
used
for
parks.
What
is
that
portion
is
it
set?
Is
it
a
set
percentage?
You
know
every
dollar
that
comes
in
you
know,
x,
accents
goes
to
parks,
and
this
much
goes
to
water
and
sewer
or
whatever.
How
does
that?
How
does
that
work.
E
There's
a
detailed
explanation
of
that
and
I
will
not
try
and
do
it
for
memory,
because
I
will
not
get
it
correct,
but
at
a
high
level
our
development
impact
fees
have
several
buckets
one
for
infrastructure,
one
one
for
parts,
there's
a
there's.
I
believe
five
different
buckets
where
the
money
goes
into.
One
is
for
affordable
housing,
for
example,
and
so
the
money
is
take
divided
into
the
buckets
and
you
can
use
from
one
of
one
of
the
pots
or
you
can
actually
borrow
from
the
other
box.
But
why
don't?
B
B
E
I
E
B
E
Is
direction
on
which
path
to
take
and
then
we
will
identify
funds
further
than
endeavors.
So
if
the
city
council
chose
option
five,
our
next
step
would
be
through
the
budget
process
to
identify
funds
for
a
landscape
architect
to
begin
the
process
of
re-envisioning
closing
part
estimation.
That
will
be,
if
not
a
100,
000,
potentially
worn,
and
so
we
would
look
to
fund
a
a
park
architect
at
somewhere
between
100
to
200
000.
E
To
begin
this
effort,
if
we
wanted
to
sort
of
forthrightly
begin.
So
if
we're
looking
at
options
one
through
four,
certainly
we
can,
I
think,
find
the
funds
to
do
option
one
and
somewhere
between
options.
Two
through
four.
I
think
that
that
is
something
that
we
can
work
to
identify
funds
or
and
execute
on
within
within
12
months.
B
Okay
and
like
I
said,
I
think
people
are
to
option
four
and
five,
so
I
haven't
heard
anybody
acknowledge
one
two
or
three
just
so
we
can
kind
of
scale
this
down.
You
know
to
me:
I've
had
this
conversation
with
somebody.
It's
just
you
know.
The
intentions
are
great
to
say.
Well,
why
don't?
We,
you
know,
do
so
much
and
then
we'll
we
can
always
come
back
and
do
it
again
costs
go
up.
Things
happen
as
you
get
off
the
train
station.
This
is
a
visual.
B
The
way
that
mound
is,
I
think,
visual
purposes
for
enforcement
driving
by
is
not
it's
not
a
good
thing.
I
think
there's
a
lot
that
can
be
done.
So
in
my
mind,
at
this
time
I
would
say:
option
five,
because
I
think
you
know
you
you.
This
is
what
we
already
talked
about
with
streetscape
plans.
That's
why
the
photo
is
there,
and
so
that
was
what,
when
we
had
outreach
and
we
had
community
involvement
and
the
walk-throughs
and
et
cetera,
so
that's
kind
of
where
I'm
at
at
this
moment.
B
I
want
to
kind
of
recap
what
I
heard
and
please
this
would
be
very
helpful
to
correct
me
at
this
time.
I'm
hearing
from
councilman
mason
option
four
council
member
salazar
option:
five
council
vice
mayor
medina
option:
four
myself
option
five
and
then
mr
hamilton,
it
was
four
but
funding
kind
of
was
variable
where,
where
I'm
at
two
is
right,
it
was
the
funding.
That's
why
I
was
asking
that
question
so
yeah
exactly.
B
B
J
The
idea
here
is
okay,
so
we'll
look
at
the
worst
thing
is
to
hire
somebody
and
the
plan
sits
on
the
shelf
for
years
right
and
the
city
manager
just
said,
the
additional
funding
from
development
isn't
going
to
come
for
a
couple
years,
so
figuring
what
what
we
can
do
to
keep
it
to
make
it
not
look
as
bad
as
it
does
right
now,
if
wow.
So,
if
we
could
get
the
grants
great,
but
we
don't
know
the
the
we
haven't
assessed
all
our
parks
and
how
much
that's
going
to
cost.
B
B
E
What
interim
improvements
can
be
made
to
unify
the
area,
and
we
have
come
back
with
options,
one
through
four,
which
involve
reusing
the
existing
infrastructure,
an
option
five,
which
is
totally
re-envisioning,
the
entire
area
likely
demolition
of
the
fountain
and
opening
up
the
area
and
placemaking.
We
don't.
M
B
A
A
J
B
B
E
E
When
you
adopt
the
budget
and
fund
the
project
caveat
dean,
we
heard
you
tonight
saying
if
you
can
find
funds
to
move
faster
with
centennial
plaza.
Please
do
so
and
don't
wait
to
the
budget
saturday
morning's
priority
setting
process
is
talking
about
a
full
list
of
city
council
priorities,
not
just
the
streetscape,
but
a
whole
list
of
priorities.
E
E
B
Okay,
so
vice
versa,
he's
asking
for
an
option
so
you're
with
option
four:
four:
four
and
then
councilman
mason
had
four
and
and
fine.
We
we
need
to
to
move
forward
on
this,
and
I
think
we've
talked
well
and
and
on
this
task.
So
why
don't
we
go
with
option
four,
and
that
is
by
consensus,
and
it
is
option
four.
Anybody
can
correct
me
if
I'm
incorrect
in
my
counting.
Oh.
B
C
H
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
copy
at
that
to
say
that
I
I
don't
disagree
with
councilmember
salazar's
point
around
being
this
being
part
of
the
longer
streetscape
plan.
So
if
there's
funds
that
staff
can
identify
that
doesn't
take
away
from
the
other
projects
and
the
other
initiatives,
I'd
definitely
be
happy
to
reconsider
it.
When
we
get
to
the
budget
season
so.
E
E
It
is
important
to
note
that
we
again
are
not
asking
for
final
direction
here
tonight.
This
action
should
we
transition.
The
duties
of
the
personnel
board
to
the
city
manager
will
have
to
occur
at
a
regular
meeting,
and
so
we
will
put
it
on
as
a
consent
item
and
have
a
full
staff
report
there
as
well.
E
E
The
concept
has
also
been
shared
with
both
our
labor
unions
and
the
personnel
board,
both
of
which
are
supportive
of
the
direction,
and
we
do
have
a
person,
a
member
of
the
personnel
who
are
here
tonight,
who's
on
the
phone
that
would
like
to
speak
in
public
comment
and
so
at
the
appropriate
time,
melissa,
the
city
clerk.
Can
you
provide
instructions
for
the
personnel
board
chair
to
amuse
themselves
and
speak
so
with
that?
I
will
turn
it
over
to
assistant
city
manager,
jennifer
brazell,
who
will
provide
the.
G
G
G
The
functions
of
the
board
have
changed
dramatically
over
the
course
of
the
years
and
so
for
our
agenda
I'll
go
over
the
the
role
over
the
years
of
the
the
personnel
board.
Give
you
an
overview
scope
of
responsibility
currently
of
the
personnel
board
enhancements
that
have
been
made
of
classification,
recruitment,
selection
selection
and
our
focus
on
equity
and
inclusion
staff
recommendations
and
our
next
steps
going
forward
and
our
request.
G
G
G
G
G
G
So
staff
reviewed
our
current
practice
against
our
local
survey
agencies
to
identify
how
we
compare
so
the
civil
service
personal
board
model
is
not
utilized
or
is
faced
out
amongst
many
of
our
local
agencies.
Out
of
the
10
agencies,
we
compared
to
for
recent
bargaining.
Only
three
others
have
personnel
boards
of
those
three
personnel
boards.
None
conducted
meetings
in
2020
and
one
city
had
only
three
meetings
in
2019
and
another
hasn't
had
any
personal
board
meetings
in
the
last
three
years.
G
You
know
what
our
next
steps
should
be
before
bringing
this
to
you
publicly
so
looking
at
you
know
the
current
duties
of
the
the
personnel
board
and
focusing
on
job
descriptions.
We
realize
that
their
function
is
rather
redundant
with
what
already
exists.
Also
extending
or
abolishing
eligible
lists
is
another
function
that
they
perform,
but
that
function
is
somewhat
rare
and
that
action,
we
believe,
really
should
be
reviewed
with
a
bargaining
group,
since
it
impacts
potentially
current
employees
that
are
that
are
on
those
eligible
lists.
G
So
job
descriptions
should
be
created
and
reviewed
when
new
positions
are
added
when
the
requirements
of
those
positions
change
significantly
when
turnover
occurs
or
on
a
regularly
scheduled
basis.
That
corresponds
with
the
performance
evaluation
process.
Due
to
the
cumbersome
process
of
today.
Job
description
changes
are
often
put
on
the
back
burner,
resulting
in
compromised
job
postings
and
inadequate
outdated
language
and
requirements.
G
Up-To-Date
job
descriptions
are
critical
to
clearly
and
accurately
defining
roles
and
job
functions.
Managing
workflow
issues
serving
as
a
basis
for
performance
assessment,
providing
a
standard
of
essential
functions
for
determining
whether
an
employee
or
applicant
with
a
disability
is
qualified
and
as
an
aid
in
developing
workplace,
accommodations
for
return
to
work,
accommodations,
equal
pay,
analyses,
reductions
in
force,
assessment,
succession
planning
and
defending
wrongful
termination
claims,
as
well
as
defending
claims
of
retaliation,
fair
labor
standards,
act.
G
Americans
with
disabilities
act,
family
medical
leave
act
as
well
as
discrimination
claims
that
fall
under
the
eeoc
and
dfbh
hr
has
developed
classification
templates
recently
based
on
job
type
so
for
entry
level,
journey
level,
advanced
journey
level,
coordinator
supervisor
or
division
head
department
head
and
the
city's
classification
hand.
That
plan
in
the
past
had
been
inconsistent
with
drug
families
over
the
years
with
disparities
in
job
description,
definitions,
distinguishing
characteristics,
qualifications
and
work
standards
which
increase
the
city's
liability.
G
G
The
first
is
to
examine
and
eliminate
any
artificial
barriers
and
biases
within
job
description
language.
The
second
was
to
assist
with
the
development
of
a
classification
structure
that
reflects
the
city's
overall
classification
strategy
and
includes
a
clear
definition
of
terms.
The
third
was
to
develop
a
consistent
format
for
class
specifications,
aligned
with
job
families
and
then
to
develop
a
framework
for
the
allocation
of
positions
to
the
appropriate
class
based
on
the
duties
and
responsibilities
assigned
at
the
time
the
position
was
studied.
G
So,
in
addition
to
this
redesign
process,
hr
acquired
quality
tools
and
training
for
staff
to
conduct
thorough
job
analyses
in
partnership
with
key
internal
stakeholders
in
the
development
of
job
descriptions.
Job
descriptions
are
reviewed
by
their
respective
unions
in
order
to
gain
greater
operational
efficiency.
Staff
recommends
delegating
authority
to
the
city
manager,
who
is
the
designated
personnel
officer
based
on
our
municipal
code,
to
approve
the
creation
and
revision
of
a
classification
plan
in
accordance
with
industry,
best
practices.
G
G
So
our
focus
on
equity
and
inclusion,
so
currently
our
goals
that
we've
achieved
for
this
year,
so
we've
provided
workforce
training
to
managers
and
employees
in
the
prevention
of
harassment,
discrimination,
retaliation
and
abuse
of
conduct.
We've
updated
our
administrative
regulation
to
comply
to
be
in
compliance
with
the
with
the
with
the
law.
We've
retained
impact
justice,
as
you
learned
from
our
previous
council
meeting
to
conduct
a
safe
and
equitable
policy
review,
developed
a
new
classification
structure,
aligned
with
industry,
best
practices
and
examined
biases
in
the
development
of
qualifications
of
job
descriptions.
G
Our
objectives
going
forward
for
this
next
fiscal
year
are,
is
to
integrate
new
tools
and
technology
for
our
employees,
to
increase
the
quality
and
diversity
of
our
applicants
and
to
streamline
the
selection
and
onboarding
process
and
in
partnership
with
our
operating
departments.
We
hope
to
develop
programs
to
enhance
employee
engagement
and
retention.
G
So
our
request
tonight
is
to
provide
direction
regarding
the
transition
of
personal
board
functions
to
the
city,
manager's
office
and
human
resources.
We
believe
that
these
recommended
changes
will
expedite
human
resource
processes
and
allocate
more
time
and
resources
to
managing
compliance
and
workforce
development
activities.
G
B
C
C
B
M
M
M
They
assisted
in
all
aspects
of
the
hiring
process,
but
now,
as
technology
has
evolved
and
the
hr
staffing
has
increased,
these
activities
have
slowly
been
migrating
to
city
functions
and,
and
now,
with
the
personal
board
made
up
of
myself
and
ed
commerford
and
joe
roberts
resigned
in
december.
We
we
review
as
jennifer
mentioned,
you
know,
review,
review
and
revised
job
descriptions,
evaluate
eligibility,
eligibility
list,
and
we
review
the
government
diversity
report
the
eeo4
report.
It's
probably
the
only
public
report
out
there
that's
required
from
a
municipality.
M
I
think
that
the
the
role
of
the
personnel
board
can
easily
be
resolved
into
current
city
functions.
I
would
like,
however,
like
the
city
to
not
lose
lose
sight
of
the
eeo
for
form,
which
is
a
public-facing
government.
Diversity
type
form
it's
it's
it's
valuable,
it's
it,
it's
ambiguous,
whether
it's
valid
or
not,
but
it
is
public
facing
in.
M
In
conclusion,
as
the
the
chair
of
the
personal
board,
I
would
like
to
express
my
appreciation
to
monica
walker,
our
hr
manager,
who
you
know,
seamlessly
stepping
into
a
leadership
role
after
the
retirement
of
tamiyuki
and
before
you
know,
jennifer
brazil
assumed
her
role
monica
during
that
time.
We
had
several
meetings
where
she
harmoniously
brought
us
together
and
managed
all
the
parties
that
need
to
be
involved
to
get
those
job
descriptions
through,
and
I
wanted
to
publicly
acknowledge
her.
You
know
before
any
possibility
of
disbandment
of
the
personal
board.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
thank
you
for
your
service
and
thank
you
for
being
on
the
call,
and
I
would
echo
exactly
what
you
said
about
monica
she.
He
is
a
staple
and
certainly
knows
the
team
and
the
city
staff
and,
if
anyone's
ever
met
her
she's,
an
extremely
kind
person
and
even
if
you're
having
a
bad
day,
there
was
no
way.
You
could
not
be
pleased
when
to
see
her.
Have
her
greet
you
so
thank
you
for
your
comments.
B
All
right
city
council,
we're
gonna,
bring
it
back
to
us.
I
don't
see
any
other
speakers
and
what
I
would
say
is.
I
know
there
was
a
lot
in
the
presentation,
but
I
want
to
stick
specific
to
providing
direction
regarding
the
transition
of
personnel
board
functions
to
the
city
manager's
office.
So
let's
stick
that
vice
mayor.
J
Thank
you
for
that
report.
A
lot
of
history
there
and
a
lot
of
things
have
changed
and
it
seems
like
it's
it's
it's
the
reasonable
thing
to
do.
Did
we
get
like
a
letter
of
concurrence
from
the
union
or
or
is
there
that's
my
first
question?
It
would
be
great
if,
if
we
were
to
hear
that,
it's
not
that
it's
just
good
to
have
that
information,
and-
and
we
can
probably
hear
that
or
request
that
some
kind
of
concurrence
from
them
that
would
make
me
feel
better.
J
B
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
I
think
in
the
presentation
and
staff
will
correct
me
that,
yes,
they
did
speak
to
the
teamsters
is
whom
they're
referencing
they're,
not
ours,
but
the
team
sort
of
represents
the
staff.
I
don't
believe
there
is
a
letter,
but
I
think
there
was
a
staff
correct
me
with
verbal
conversation
which
they
were
in
concurrence.
Is
that
accurate.
B
K
K
A
H
G
Have
representatives
from
each
bargaining
group
and
we,
for
example,
when
we
have
updates
on
administrative
regulations,
will
do
a
meet
and
confer
with
the
bargaining
group
so
that
they
can
represent
their
their
their
collective
argument.
So
we
have
multiple
representatives
from
each
employee
group.
B
Okay,
my
turn.
I
have
a
couple
questions
and
I
have
some
statements.
This
has
been
something
that
has
been
talked
about
prior
councils.
That's
why
it
went
from
a
larger
group
to
five
and
it
came
forward
to
modify
the
personnel
board
back
then
from
five
to
three.
I
had
not
supported
that
because
to
me
you
are
lessening
the
amount
of
folks
on
a
body,
and
three
is
very:
nobody
usually
has
a
committee
or
committee
commission
board
of
three,
but
that's
what
it
is
with
the
resignation
of
one
bringing
it
down
to
two.
B
It
makes
the
sense.
This
is
something
that
has
been
worked
on
for
years
ago
and
they
have
modified
it
as
ed
brought
up.
It
has
been
modified
because
they
did
the
interviewing.
They
did
the
recommendations
they
provided
the
list
of
the
department
head,
so
it
has
evolved
over
many
many
years
that
I've
known
it
since
the
city
employee
to
keep
up
with
the
times
and
then
make
modifications
along
the
way,
and
so
this
is
something
that
staff
and
prior
city
manager
had
worked
on
with
tamiyuki
and
and
then
here
staff
is
brought
forward.
B
B
Also
for
history,
you
know
it
used
to
come
to
the
city
council
twice
for
a
job
description.
It
was
streamlined
to
have
it
come
up
once
so
that
was
to
have
efficiency
and
effectiveness,
and
that
was
done
some
time
ago.
But
I
want
to
ask
something
to
the
assistant
city
manager.
Did
I
hear
correctly
that
the
job
descriptions
would
then
no
longer
be
coming
to
council
for
not
reclassification
talking
about
current
existing
and
then
making
changes
to
job
descriptions.
G
So
changes
to
job
descriptions
that
are
simply
just
awarding
changes
would
no
longer
need
to
go
to
council,
but
any
change
that
had
a
budgetary
impact
would
go
to
council.
So
anytime
there
was,
you
know
an
addition
to
a
you
know:
a
department
if
a
an
increase
in
a
position
or
a
change
to
a
position
that
would
increase
a
department
budget
that
would
go
to
council
yeah.
E
B
Okay,
there's
my
point
so
it
it
did
now
it
has,
and
that
would
change
so
city
council
would
not
see
it
any
longer.
Even
though
we've
streamlined
it
from
two
to
one
and
we're
streaming,
it
would
be
streamlined
more
if
looks
like
the
council
touring
who
transitioned
the
personnel
board.
So
in
essence,
you've
dropped
three,
but
you
don't
want.
The
desire
is
not
to
have
the
city
council
review
those
any
longer
unless
it's
a
monetary
situation.
B
So
that's
the
one,
that's
the
one
thing
that
I'm
not
comfortable
with
at
this
moment.
I
think
this
is
a
big
transition.
I
still
think
those
should
come.
I
think
it
gives
perspective
for
public
view.
I
think
it
gives
perspective
so
the
community
knows
what's
happening
and
I
think
it's
good
for
council
to
be
up
to
speed
on
what's
happening,
and
I
know
some
of
it
could
be
rico.
You're,
changing
class
b
to
class
c,
something
can
be
very
simple,
doesn't
mean.
I
don't
know
that.
That's
that's
under
consent.
B
B
C
G
I
I
like
to
address
both
issues,
the
first
one.
As
far
as
the
classification
actions,
I
definitely
understand
the
request
to
have
classification
actions
go
to
council.
We
have
a
large
volume
of
classifications
that
need
updating.
We
are
currently
looking
now
at
a
classification
review,
as
we
start
doing
our
benchmark
study
with
the
bargaining
groups
preparing
for
negotiations.
G
B
B
G
You
know
in
my
over
20
years
in
this
field,
you
know,
there's
always
data
to
back
up
those
decisions,
because
you
know
we're.
Usually
there
there
are
lots
of
other.
You
know
job
descriptions
to
explain
why
we
might
need
specific.
I
mean
it's
with
any
need
and
confirm
right.
You
have
to
come
to
a
decision.
You
know.
B
For
that
I
understand
that,
but
I
guess
what
happens
if,
because
it
it's
the
the
it'd,
be
the
two
bodies,
be
the
city
through
hr
and
it'd,
be
the
union
and
I've
been
a
shop
steward.
There
are
times
that
there's
not
a
concurrence.
So
then
my
question
is
what
happens
whether
it's
today
or
whether
it's
tomorrow.
E
Is
that
it
is
a
meet
and
confirm,
but
it's
not
a
meeting
agreement,
so
it
will
still
be
a
management
right
to
change
the
job
description.
Even
if
the
union
does
not
disagree.
As
the
assistant
city
manager
said,
the
goal
is
always
to
not
have
disagreement
with
your
unions
and
to
come
to
an
amicable
resolution
and
we're
for
the
most.
B
And
would
this
change
the
current
practices
of
the
hiring
and
then?
Lastly,
because
I
I
know
it's
arduous-
sometimes
to
hire
folks
right
it
is
you
got
to
go
through
the
backgrounds
of
this
and
that
and
especially
in
our
public
safety.
I
worry
because
I
know
they
have
the
extra
hurdle
right,
especially
in
our
police
and
or
fire,
and
this
would
not
stifle,
modify
change
or
not.
Allow
us
to
get
the
quality
personnel
that
we
want
in
a
timely
fashion.
G
Address
the
other
concern
regarding
the
eeo4
reports.
Currently
those
reports
don't
go
to
council
and,
if
there's
a
council's
desire,
that's
something
that
we
can
bring
to
council
along
with
something
that
we
have
already
talked
about,
providing
which
is
an
equity
inclusion
plan
on
a
regular
schedule.
B
Perfect,
thank
you
for
including
that
okay
and
thank
you
for
answering
those
questions,
because
those
are
and
important-
and
I
appreciate
you,
you
folks,
taking
that
detailed
time,
and
I
do
appreciate
the
chair
being
kind
to
offer
that,
because
that
was
one
of
my
big
questions
and
concerns,
is
you
know
what
their
thought
is
and
that's
important
to
me.

However,
the
detailed
work
behind
that
happens
with
subordinate
staff
and
the
interface
between
the
unions
does
not
happen
at
sitting
at
the
city
manager's
level
when
things
arise
up
to
the
city
manager's
office
to
approval,
it's
99
of
the
times
has
already
been
embedded
and
approved
by
the
union,
and
the
city
manager
is
the
final
approval,
so
it's
just
deciding
what
that
final
approval
is
and
council
member
medina.
I
I
would
give
that
professional
recommendation,
whether
we're
talking
about
this
or
or
anything
else.
E
J
G
E
J
Sure,
with
all
respect
to
that
and
and
we're
going
from
where
the
changes
used
to
have
to
be
approved
by
the
council
right,
so
I
was
just
trying
to
find
a
way
that
we
would
be
advised
of
changes
at
some
point.
That's
all
from
where
we're
at
today
and
where
we're
going
with
this.
It's
a
huge
change
and
just
kind
of
like
well.
J
J
And
maybe
like
on
the
website,
it
would
be
like
these.
These
are
the
changes
and
it'd
be
dates,
but
you'd
have
to
go
through
each
job
description
to
find
out
if
it
was
changed,
but
where
it
would
be
kind
of
highlighted.
These
are
the
ones
that
were
changed
and
that
was
it
and
then,
but
anyhow,
it's
not
going
to
hold
me
up
from
from
from
going
forward.
I
just
wanted
to
to
understand-
I
didn't
think
about
it
until
now,
so.
B
H
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
I
think
that
the
one
of
the
reasons
I'm
comfortable
with
this
change
is
that
the
union
is
involved
in
the
process.
It
sounds
like
they're
going
to
have
to
agree
to
this
and
that
the
council
right
there
has
to
be
some
kind
of
agreement
between
the
two
at
some
point
to
move
this
forward,
and
so
I
think
that
the
fact
that
we
manage
a
city
manager
provides
him
with
a
discretion
to
work
directly
with
each
of
his
directors.
Who
then,
in
this
case,
would
be
miss.
H
Brazil
would
work
directly
with
the
unions
on
the
job
classifications.
Otherwise,
I'm
generally
not
in
favor
of
taking
away.
You
know
any
like
power
direct
power
from
the
council,
but
I
do
feel
that
in
this
case,
with
the
union
being
as
involved
as
they
are,
and
the
conversations
happening
that
there
would
be
representation
on
behalf
of
the
membership,
so
that
that's
really
my
justification
around
this.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
for
the
record,
thank
you.
B
B
City
staff
under
the
under
the
office
of
the
manager
may
say
it
is
being
changed.
There
does
not
have
to
be
a
concurrence.
I
don't
want
to
give
the
misconception.
Am
I
am
I
accurate?
I
mean
it
could
be
like.
I
said
it
could
be
a
small
word
change
and
if
the
union
says
I
don't
like
that
word,
I
want
a
different
word.
It's
like
hey,
it's
the
same
meaning
and
we're
slicing
the
hairs
on
a
word.
So
it's
going
to
change.
Is
that
accurate?
Just
so
we're
clear
this
time.
E
B
G
Going
to
work
with
the
union
to
establish
administrative
regulations
that
will
be
very
clear
about
what
the
process
is.
However,
we
before
javascriptions
even
go
to
the
personnel
board
they're
already,
we've
already
established
an
agreement
with
the
union,
so
we've
been
already
doing
this
for
years
and
you
know
sometimes
the
changes
happen
after
we've
already
agreed.
B
B
G
C
C
B
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
have
clarity
on
that,
because
it's
a
comment
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
look
to
my
zoom
window
here
and
I
believe
that
all
of
us
are
in
concurrence
with
that
director.
Am
I
incorrect?
I've
got
a
yes,
yes,
a
yes
is
that
what
was
that
okay
thumbs
up?
I
didn't
know
how
to
take
that
one
and
then
yes,
so
city
staff,
ms
brazil,
do
you
have
enough
direction.
B
Okay,
so
I
think
we
have
concluded
our
two
items.
I
know
we
had
said
eight
and
we're
a
couple
minutes
over.
I
want
to
thank
staff,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
council
and
we
are
going
to
adjourn
to
the
next
regular
city
council
meeting,
which
will
be
held
on
april
27
2021
and
in
addition,
as
we
were
said,
we
do
have
saturday
strategic
initiatives,
eight
to
one
so
have
a
good
night,
and
we
will
see
you
saturday.
