A
C
B
A
Yeah.
Thank
you
now
we'll
move
on
to
item
three
public
comments
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
There
are
attendees
or
participants
that
want
to
speak
on
something,
that's
not
on
the
agenda
and
again
this.
The
agenda
topic
is
receiving
a
presentation
on
voice
voting
and
the
center
for
election
science.
A
Seeing
none
at
this
time.
We
will
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
study
session.
We
have
one
item
which
is
free
presentation,
fair
vote
on
rank
place,
voting
and
essential
for
election
science
on
voting
method,
reform.
I'd
like
to
first
ask
our
city
manager
to
open
us
up
and
bring
us
into
our
speakers.
Please
sure
thank
you,
mayor
medina,
good.
C
Evening,
members
of
the
city,
council,
staff
and
members
of
the
public
tonight
you
will
receive
two
presentations,
one
on
ranked
choice,
voting
and
the
other
on
approval
voting.
I
want
to
first
take
us
back
to
late
2021
when
the
city
council
directed
staff
to
a
presentation
on
approval
voting,
but
more
particularly
the
city
council
asked
staff
to
schedule,
presentations
to
look
at
alternative
voting
methods
and
the
center
for
election
science
was
one
of
the
entities
that
the
city
council
explicitly
request.
C
C
That
is
an
advocacy
group
for
rank
choice,
voting
and
the
center
for
election
science.
That
is
an
advocacy
group
for
google
voting
should
be
noted
that
both
of
these
voting
systems
are
distinguished
from
plurality,
voting
or
majority
voting,
which
we
currently
have
today,
and
so
the
two
presentations
that
you
will
receive
are
directly
from
these
two
groups,
not
analyzed
by
staff
or
influenced
by
staff.
At
all.
We
really
just
want
you
to
receive
their
presentations
at
your
next
study
session,
which
is
scheduled
for
march
29th.
C
C
As
a
charter
city,
we
are
currently
a
general
law
city,
and
that
is
why
this
discussion
is
planned
to
occur
now
before
you
begin
your
discussions
of
potentially
putting
a
charter
measure
on
the
ballot,
and
so
with
that
the
first
presentation
will
be
provided
by
fair
vote,
and
you
have
diane
silver
and
steve
from
fairvolt
and
the
city
clerk.
Will
you
bring
them
in
the
room
and
they
will
share
their
presentation?
C
We've
scheduled
approximately
20
minutes
for
each
presentation
and.
A
What
we'll
do
is,
after
the
presentation
is
concluded
up
to
20
minutes,
then
we'll
I'm
gonna
go
to
counsel
for
questions,
go
to
the
public
for
any
comments
and
then
bring
it
back
to
the
council
for
regional
discussion
and
with
that.
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
I'll
turn
the
floor
over
to
you.
B
B
Let's
see
sorry,
I
wasn't
in
panelist
mode
until
just
now,
so
I
just
need
a
minute
of
your
patience,
so
I
need
to
click
around
a
little
bit
and
then
I
will
be
able
to
share.
B
Yes,
okay,
great
thanks,
so
much
all
right!
So
again
we
appreciate
you
having
us
here
and
I'm
going
to
dive
right
in
about
ranked
choice.
Voting.
The
basic
idea
is,
we
believe,
ranked
choice.
B
Billing
is
a
simple
common
sense
reform
that
makes
elections
better
and
more
cost
effective,
and
we
think
they
are
going
to
be
terrific
for
you
in
san
bruno
across
the
country,
there
are
more
than
50
jurisdictions
that
currently
have
adopted,
ranked
choice,
voting
and
are
using
it,
including
two
states
in
maine
and
alaska
they've,
adopted
it
for
statewide
use
and
a
whole
bunch
of
cities
across
the
country
already
have
it
for
local
elections.
B
You
can
see
some
of
them
listed
here,
including
a
number
of
municipalities
in
california,
san
francisco,
berkeley,
oakland
san
leandro
palm
desert,
albany
eureka.
They
all
have
adopted
ranked
choice.
Voting
already
I'll.
Give
you
a
quick
overview
of
how
ranked
choice
voting
works.
The
key
principle
here
is
majority
rule.
We
believe
that
majority
rule
is
a
basic
tenet
of
democracy,
so
majority,
of
course,
is
more
than
50
percent.
B
So
if
there
are
more
than
two
candidates
in
a
race
very
often
the
vote
is
split
more
than
two
ways
and
nobody
wins
more
than
50,
at
least
in
a
first
a
first
round
of
voting,
so
with
rent
choice
voting.
If
nobody
gets
that
50
threshold,
then
we
have
an
instant
runoff.
What
happens
is
the
lowest
getter
is
eliminated
and
we're
going
to
have
a
runoff
with
the
remaining
candidates,
only
that
runoff
happens
instantly.
B
So
in
our
simplified
example,
here
all
of
the
sea
voters
are
choosing
a
as
their
second
choice
in
real
life.
They
probably
wouldn't
have
the
exact
same
second
choice
for
every
single
order,
but
we've
simplified
it
here,
so
these
lavender
votes
would
choose
a
as
their
second
choice
and
in
the
second
round
of
counting
the
tally
would
look
like
this
there's
still
no
majority
winner.
So
we
do
it
again.
Another
instant
runoff,
now
the
lowest
vote.
B
So
the
big
idea
here
is
that,
with
a
plurality
vote,
the
vote
would
have
been
split.
A
and
c
are
are
like-minded
and
b
and
d
are
like-minded,
but
those
votes
get
split,
and
that
means
that
voters
face
a
conundrum
of.
B
Should
I
really
vote
for
my
favorite,
or
am
I
going
to
be
hurting
the
one
that
I
like,
but
has
a
better
chance
of
winning,
even
though
they're
not
my
first
choice
so
ranked
choice,
voting
solves
that
problem
for
voters
and
lets
them
vote
their
heart
and
eliminates
that
risk
of
vote
splitting
and
what's
called
a
spoiler
effect.
So
in
summary,
it's
a
series
of
runoff
elections.
B
The
weakest
candidate
is
defeated
in
each
round.
If
your
first
choice
is
still
active
for
any
given
voter,
if
your
first
choice
is
still
active,
your
vote
remains
with
them.
So
voting
for
a
second
choice
or
third
choice.
Ranking
additional
candidates
doesn't
ever
hurt
your
first
choice.
It's
one
person,
one
vote.
Your
whole
vote
goes
to
the
highest
ranking
candidate,
who
is
still
active
on
your
ballot.
So
if
your
first
choice
gets
eliminated,
then
your
next
pick
gets
your
vote.
Automatically
nobody's
vote
is
wasted
and
everybody
has
more
voice
all
the
way
to
the
end.
B
B
B
In
order
to
win
a
ranked
choice
election
you
need
to
have
a
strong
number
one,
showing
number
one
turnout
in
order
to
stay
in
the
race,
and
you
also
probably
likely
need
second
and
third
choice
votes
to
achieve
that
majority
threshold,
and
so
what
we
find
is
as
a
candidate.
It
is
not
a
good
strategy
to
attack
other
candidates.
B
It's
not
a
good
idea
to
be
a
mudslinger,
because
you
don't
want
to
alienate
the
supporters
of
other
candidates
because
you
need
their
second
or
third
choice
to
win,
and
so
what
we
find
is
that
ranked
choice.
Voting
elections
are
more
issue
oriented
and
we
tend
to
have
more
civil
campaigning.
We
think
that's
a
big
advantage.
B
Another
advantage
is
diversity
because
it
eliminates
that
vote
splitting
and
allows
voters
to
vote
their
heart
and
it
doesn't
create
spoiler
candidates.
We
find
that
more
women
and
people
of
color
enter
the
race
in
the
first
place,
and
more
of
them
are
actually
elected
to
office.
B
When
voters
aren't
worried
that
they
might
be
a
long
shot
and
even
though
they
like
them
best,
they
better
not
vote
for
them,
because
it's
a
strategic
choice,
ranked
choice,
voting
solves
that
problem
and
we're
finding
a
rise
in
women
and
people
of
color
being
elected
to
office,
and
that
means
that
elected
bodies
are
more
reflective
of
the
electorate
as
a
whole.
We
saw
last
summer
in
new
york
city
when
ranked
choice.
Voting
was
used
for
the
primaries
there.
B
New
york
city
elected
the
most
diverse
city
council
in
history,
so
we
think
that
that's
a
big
advantage.
Another
one
is
that
for
compared
to
cities
using
plurality
with
plurality
voting,
you
often
get
a
winner
who
doesn't
have
that
majority
mandate
and
being
elected
with
less
than
a
majority.
We
feel
weakens
your
effectiveness
in
office
or
can
weaken
effectiveness
in
office.
B
Favorites
still
win,
but
they've
got
that
mandate.
What
we
find,
interestingly,
is
85
percent
of
the
time
the
front-runner
in
round
one
goes
on
to
win
the
election.
So
it's
not
like
this
is
some
ploy
to
somehow
help
runners
up.
You
know
win
after
all,
most
of
the
time
the
the
winner,
the
the
leader
in
round
one
wins
anyway,
but
they
win
with
a
majority
rather
than
just
a
plurality,
and
it's
documented.
B
B
We
have
a
lot
going
on
these
days
with
people
challenging
election
results
and
feeling
a
lot
of
dissatisfaction
if
their
candidate
lost,
but
when
you
get
to
rank
the
candidates,
you
have
a
broader
range
of
what
would
make
you
feel
satisfied
as
a
voter
and
so
for
70
percent.
The
winner
is
in
their
top
three
and
they
feel
pretty
good
about
who
won
the
election.
B
One
final
advantage
will
compare
using
two
runoffs
if
you
like
that
idea
of
majority
mandate,
but
you
use
a
two-round
run
system.
You
get
substantial
savings
by
using
ranked
choice
voting
by
having
one
election
rather
than
two,
if
you
have
primaries
and
then
to
general
or
general
and
then
a
runoff
with
that
two-round
one
of
them
usually
has
very
low
turnout
and
you
have
only
a
subset
of
the
electorate,
making
the
making
the
final
choices
and
so
for
both
the
cost
savings
and
the
greater
voice
of
the
electorate
ranked
choice.
Voting
is
a
better
system.
B
D
Thank
you
diane
for
handing
it
over,
and
can
everybody
hear
me.
D
Can
everybody
hear
me,
can
anybody
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
okay.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
start
speaking
if
you
could
hear
me
so
I'm
going
to
cover
some
of
the
disadvantages
of
our
cv.
There's
actual
disadvantages
where
we
admit
there
are
disadvantages
of
things
that
people
say
are
disadvantages,
but
aren't
really
what
we
call
myths
and
then
areas
that
there's
no
clear
effect
or
gray
areas.
D
So
one
of
the
actual
advantages
is
that
ballots
can
become
inactive
and
what
this
means
is
that
say
with
the
earlier
rcv
equipment,
you
could
only
rank
three
candidates
say
there
were
five
or
six
candidates
running
for
office
and
you
ranked
three
and
all
three
of
your
candidates
were
eliminated
before
the
final
winner
was
determined
determined
that
is
in
an
active
ballot.
Well,
the
dominion
equipment
that
san
mateo
county
uses
allows
for
up
to
10
rankings,
and
so,
if
you
have
excuse
me,
I
need
to
turn
this
volume
down.
D
If
you
have
five
or
six
candidates
running
for
office
and
you
got
10
rankings
well,
then
a
voter
can
rank
as
many
candidates
as
they
want,
and
now
you
only
had
an
inactive
ballot.
If
the
voter
chooses
to
rank
fewer
candidates
and
all
the
candidates
they
rank
and
end
up
being
eliminated,
this
would
be
the
same
thing
as
in
a
two
round
runoff.
D
If
a
voter
decides
well,
my
favorite
candidate
didn't
make
the
runoff,
and
I
don't
like
any
of
the
tenants
in
the
runoff,
so
I'm
going
to
become
an
inactive
voter,
so
a
two-round
run.
You
have
inactive
voters
with
rank
choice.
Voting
you
can
have
inactive
ballots,
but
again
with
the
more
rankings
that
you
get
with
dominion,
it
means
it's
up
to
the
voter
to
decide:
they're
not
limited
by
the
equipment
and
by
having
more
rankings
available
to
the
voter.
That
means
you
get
more
input
from
the
voters.
D
There's
also
some
mathematical
arguments
against
choice
voting
because
it's
been
mathematically
proven
that
no
election
system
is
perfect.
Also
ranked
voting
is
not
good
for
small
elections
with
just
a
few
voters.
For
example,
if
you
have
a
city
council,
like
your
own
city
council,
that's
trying
to
appoint
somebody
to
a
commission
using
ranked
choice.
Voting
is
not
the
best
method
for
deciding
who
you
should
appoint
to
a
commission,
but
if
you
have
hundreds
or
thousands
of
voters,
then
ranked
choice.
Voting
is
very
good.
D
It's
very
good
for
city
council
elections,
both
either
within
districts
or
at
large
additional
advantage
disadvantages.
Some
people
complain
that
well,
the
trailing
candidates
can
gang
up
on
the
leader.
This
happens
sometimes
with
rankings
voting,
but
as
diane
pointed
out,
it's
not
negative
campaigning
is
not
terribly
effective.
D
D
Some
people
will
say
that
well
ranked
choice.
Voting
only
benefits
a
certain
ideology,
it's
actually
ideologically
neutral.
What
it
does
is
it
elects
majority
winners.
If
the
majority
of
your
community
leans
left,
then
the
majority
of
candidates
elected,
are
going
to
be
left-leaning.
The
majority
of
your
community
leans
right.
Then
the
majority
candidates
and
electors
are
going
to
lean
right.
You've
got
majority
winners.
D
Another
a
myth
is
that
rcv
is
easy
to
game.
Well,
actually,
plurality
voting
is
the
worst.
It's
been
said
that
when
the
first
mayor
daley
ran
in
chicago,
if
he
had
one
opponent,
he
made
sure
he
had
two
so
that
the
opposition
would
get
split
and
he
would
win.
There
are
actually
no
known
cases
of
manipulating
ranked
choice.
Voting
it's
been
mathematically
proven
to
be
extremely
difficult.
D
Some
people
will
say
that
right
choice
voting
doesn't
really
achieve
a
majority
winner
because
of
the
inactive
ballots
that
may
happen,
but
the
winner
always
has
a
majority.
In
the
final
round,
moving
on
to
the
next
set
of
myths,
some
people
say
that
rank
choice.
Voting
is
confusing
to
voters.
Well,
the
studies
that
we've
done
the
exit
polls
that
we've
done
show
that
voters
by
the
vast
majority
of
voters
across
all
demographic
groups
not
only
understand
rancho
voting.
D
They
actually
prefer
ranked
choice,
voting
to
what
other
to
the
previous
system
that
they
have
been
using
and
then
you'll
have
people
who
will
say
that.
Well,
some
other
system
is
better
lots
of
alternatives
do
exist,
but
they
haven't
been
actively
tested,
especially
not
in
public
elections
and
uses
where
they
have
been
used.
Buckland
voting,
for
example,
in
the
1920s
those
uses
have
turned
out
to
be
problematic.
D
Ranked
choice.
Voting
has
been
used
successfully
for
over
80
years
in
the
united
states
over
100
years
internationally,
and
we
have
80
years
of
data
that
documents
the
proven
success,
because
you
know
longevity
is
not
by
itself
without
a
reason
to
choose
one
method
over
another
I
mean
plurality
has
been
used
for
over
200
years,
but
the
history
of
plurality
is
just
poor
performance,
whereas
with
ranked
choice
voting
we
have
documented
evidence
that
it's
a
very
successful
election
system
and.
E
D
Also,
the
only
alternative
system
that's
been
certified
for
use
in
california,
so
the
most
important
criteria
for
rank
choice
voting
is
you
get
a
majority
winner
in
a
single
election,
extremely
resistant
to
strategic
voting,
because
there
are
no
opportunities
to
gain
the
system
and
there
is
no
incentive
to
bully
vote.
Your
second
choice
cannot
hurt
your
first
choice,
so
it's
in
the
voters
advantage
to
rank
as
many
candidates
as
they
like.
D
It
has
a
strong
history
of
success
and
it's
already
certified
for
use
in
california
and
it's
full
auditable
and
transparent
and
secure
on
the
par
with
the
existing
first
past,
the
postality
methods
that
have
been
used
in
california.
D
Now
we're
going
to
get
into
the
nuclear
effect
area.
Some
people
will
say:
well,
it
produces
higher
voter
turnout.
We
do
have
a
correlation
that
you
do
get
higher
turnout
with
rank
choice,
voting
elections,
but
causation
is
not
proven.
Turnout
really
depends
upon
a
lot
of
factors.
What
really
drives
turnout
is
having
a
very
interesting
contest.
It's
a
very
competitive
contest.
D
Also,
we
sometimes
see
that
it
produces
more
candidates.
We
did
a
study
in
albany
that
showed
no
difference,
but
there
are
other
studies
that
disagree
with
that.
So
this
is
another
great
area
and
then
some
people
will
say
that
rank
choice.
Voting
produces
better
candidates.
Well,
better
is
very
subjective.
It's
in
the
eye
of
the
beholder.
What
we
do
find
out,
though,
that
rank
choice
voting
does
tend
to
produce
more
diversity
of
candidates.
D
Now
I
want
to
transition
into
what
are
the
costs
of
implementing
rank
choice.
Voting
to
put
the
first
cost
to
the
city
to
put
ranked
choice.
Voting
on
the
ballot
is
minimal,
cost
it's
the
same
cost
as
any
other
ballot
measure.
You
would
have
to
put
a
charter
on
a
november
ballot,
so
whatever
it
would
cost
to
put
a
charter
in
the
ballot.
That's
how
much
it
would
cost
to
do
ranked
choice
voting.
D
Obviously,
the
staff
has
to
prepare
the
charter
language
and
then,
of
course,
the
city
council
has
to
repair
the
ballot
arguments,
the
ballot
argument
in
favor
and
the
rebuttal
for
the
ballot
argument
against.
As
for
the
ballot
measure
campaign
itself,
the
cost
of
the
city
zero,
because
a
city
cannot
campaign
on
ballot
measures,
local
advocates
will
have
to
run
the
campaign
and
the
california
ranks
voting
coalition
can
assist
them
with
running
that
campaign
going
on
to
the
cost
of
the
to
the
cities.
Well,
there
is
the
cost
of
the
software.
The
dominion
software
rank
trade.
D
Voting
module
would
have
to
be
acquired
by
the
by
the
county,
the
cost
for
that
module
may
vary,
and
you
need
to
talk
to
the
rov
to
find
out
how
much
that
would
cost.
But
we
do
know
that
dominion
charged
the
city
of
santa
fe,
25
000
for
that
software
module,
but
with
santa
clara
county
they
negotiated
santa
clara
county
visas,
their
dominion,
equipment
and
dominion
said
quoted
a
prize
for
the
ranked
choice.
D
Voting
module,
that's
basically
a
five
percent
surcharge
over
the
base,
the
base
lease
cost
for
the
entire
dominion
system.
D
So
that's
something
you
have
to
talk
to
the
registrar
about
what
we
normally
do
is
we
recommend
that
people
put
protection
clauses
in
their
right
choice,
voting
measures,
they're
very
common
and
recommended
they
would,
for
example,
you
could
limit
the
cost
to
some
percentage
of
the
city
budget.
D
You
would
also
put
into
your
charter
that
ranked
choice
voting
would
not
be
used
until
the
county
is
actually
able
to
count
it,
and
we
also
recommend
putting
authorizing
the
city
clerk
to
make
technical
modifications
in
case
the
equipment
implements
a
slightly
different
algorithm
than
what
you've
written
into
your
charter.
You
want
like,
for
example,
if
there's
a
limit
on
the
rankings,
even
though
the
dominion
equipment,
for
example,
allows
up
to
10,
we've
seen
other
counties
say:
well
we're
not
going
to.
D
Let
voters
have
10
rankings
wrong,
we'll
let
them
have
five
rankings,
for
example,
so
you
want
to
make
sure
that
you
can
handle
any
kind
of
minor
change
to
what
the
equipment
can
do.
So
your
charter
doesn't
turn
out
to
preclude
your
use
of
rank
choice,
voting
moving
on
there's
a
cost
of
voter
education.
D
We
highly
recommend
that,
for
the
at
least,
the
first
two
cycles
that
significant
voter
education
ranked
choice
voting
is
done
because
it
is
a
new
system
to
most
voters.
Focus
outreach
is
needed,
especially
to,
for
example,
the
elderly
elderly,
and
to
low
information
voter
groups,
cities
often
contract
with
various
non-governmental
organizations.
To
do
this
for
them
and
often
the
registrar's
office
will
also
do
some
ranked
choice.
D
Voting
education,
the
california
rank
choice,
voting
institute
can
help
with
doing
campaign,
workshops,
training,
camp
campaigns
and
candidates
how
to
successfully
campaign
under
ranked
choice
voting,
and
we
will
also
do
media
training
workshops,
teaching
the
the
press
of
the
media,
how
best
to
cover
a
ranked
choice.
Voting
election
because
the
normal
calling
that
they
do
is
not
really
adequate.
They
really
do
need
to
pull
people
for
their
first
and
second
and
third
choices.
D
So
summarize
ranked
choice.
Voting
is
a
common
sense
reform.
I've
gone
over
the
advantages
and
disadvantages
right
choice,
voting
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
it
takes
to
do.
A
practical
implementation
of
ranked
choice.
Voting
one
more
thing
I
would
like
to
say:
you
just
went
through
a
districting
process,
where
I
believe
you
had
over
two
dozen
maps
submitted
by
voters
over
which
a
dozen
were
actually
legitimate,
and
then
you
had
to
decide
which
one
you're
going
to
adopt.
I
think
you're
doing
a
final
vote
this
evening
on
that
proportional
ranked
choice.
D
Voting
allows
you
to
get
equitable
representation
without
actually
needing
to
draw
districts
or
only
drawing
two
districts.
Instead
of
drawing
four
districts,
it
makes
gerrymanding,
it
basically
renders
gerrymandering
irrelevant.
This
is
a
picture
of
the
cambridge
city
council.
They
have
a
very
diverse
amazing
proportion
of
ranked
choice.
Voting
since
the
1940s.
D
They
have
a
very
diverse
city
council
and
there's
a
link
in
the
speaker's
notes
to
a
seven-minute
youtube
video.
I
highly
recommend
that
you
in
your
spare
time
you
watch
that
video
and
for
additional
resources
you
can
go
to
the
ranked
choice
voting
resource
center.
This
is
an
organization,
that's
been
set
up
to
explicitly
help
jurisdictions
and
election
officials
in
implementing
rank-choice
voting.
The
national
organization,
fair
voter,
which
diane
represents
also
provides
resources
and,
of
course,
the
california
rank
transvoting
institute
as
resources
available
and
I've
gone
slightly
over
them
to
20
minutes.
A
F
I
have
a
question
on
one
one
thing
that
you
said
when
you
said
that
the
rank
choice
voting
results
in
more
diverse
candidates.
Do
you
mean
that
that
results
in
more
diverse
candidates
or
more
diverse
winners,
because
I'm
just
wondering
if,
if
the
type
of
election
that's
going
to
take
place,
drives
a
candidate's
decision
to
run
or
not.
B
It's
actually
both.
What
we
find
is
that
when
there's
a
risk
of
votes
splitting
and
there's
a
risk
of
being
vilified
as
a
spoiler,
it's
a
disincentive
for
potential
candidates
to
throw
their
hat
in
the
ring
in
the
first
place,
and
especially
among
communities
of
color.
When
there's
a
fear
of
boat
splitting,
there's
kind
of
a
wait.
B
Your
turn
phenomenon,
where
leaders
in
that
community
kind
of
do
behind
the
scenes
vetting
before
the
election,
even
happens
where
you
know
within
within
their
community
they're
deciding
who's
going
to
run,
because
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
only
one
candidate,
because
we
want
our
community
to
rally
behind
that
one
candidate
and
so
with
ranks
to
voting.
With
that
risk
of
vote
splitting
eliminated,
you
eliminate
that
weight.
Your
turn
problem,
and
so
we
get
more
potential
candidates
joining
the
race
who
otherwise
might
not.
B
And
then
what
we
find
is
that,
rather
than
those
candidates
being
in
competition
with
each
other,
they
are
in
competition
with
each
other.
But
because
more
candidates
from
a
given
community
are
in
the
race
it
engages
that
community
and
what
we
find
is
that
the
turnout
sometimes
is
better
and
they
actually
are
able
to
win,
and
so
the
answer
is
both
you
get
more
diversity
in
the
candidate
pool
and
what
we
found
with
ranked
choice.
B
Voting
elections
is
that
more
diverse
winners,
more
women
and
people
of
color
are
actually
winning
office
than
under
plurality.
Voting.
G
Thank
you
for
the
presentations,
and
this
is
from
mr
chesson.
You
made
a
comment
about
districting.
Can
you
maybe
expand
a
little
bit
further
about
how
the
method,
how
your
particular
method
can
actually
kind
of
stand
alone
outside
of
districting
to
produce
the
same
results.
D
B
I
can't
I
can't
seem
to
get
past
it.
Sorry,
let
me
keep
talking
and
let
me
let
me
try:
okay,
okay,
all.
D
Right
well,
I
took
a
look
at
the
public
map
104
and
the
citizen
voting
age.
Population
statistic.
Excuse
me,
statistics
for
each
of
those
three
districts.
Four
districts
excuse
me,
and
I
noticed
that
district
four
has
a
hispanic
c-vap
of
40
percent,
which
makes
it
an
influence
district,
but
not
a
majority
minority
one.
So
you
could
say
that
well
they're
80
of
the
way
towards
electing
a
candidate
of
their
choice.
D
But
if
you
combine
district,
3
and
district
to
be
a
two-person
district,
that
would
have
a
hispanic
when
you
elect
a
get
it
back
up
orbit
with
partial
rank
is
voting.
It
lowers
the
threshold
of
election.
So
when
you're
electing
one
person,
the
winner
only
needs
to
get
slightly
more
than
half
vote.
If
you're
electing
two
people
with
proportional
rank
choice
voting
each
winner
only
needs
to
get
slightly
more
than
one
third
of
the
vote,
so
the
threshold
of
election
is
only
33
in
the
third
percent.
D
Similarly,
district
one
has
a
asian
pacific
islander
cvap
of
45,
which
is
90
of
the
way
towards
electing
a
candidate
for
their
choice
again
in
influence
district.
But
if
you
combine
districts,
one
and
two
that
would
have
an
apic
vap
of
41.5,
which
is
way
more
than
the
33
and
a
third
percent
to
elect
a
candidate
of
choice
in
a
two-seat
proportional
rank
choice,
voting
district.
So
so
this
is
and
again
proportional
running
towards
voting.
D
How,
where
you
draw
that
line
between
what
I
would
call
district,
a
that
combined
one
and
two
and
district
b,
the
combined
three
and
four.
The
way
through
that
line.
Matters
matters
much
less
because
you're
providing
more
opportunity
for
people
to
elect
the
candidates
of
their
choice.
D
G
D
D
All
the
other
cities
in
california
are
using
the
the
single
winner
former
ranked
choice,
voting
within
within
districts,
but
obviously
in
proportion
when
cambridge
is
using
a
proportional
one.
Australia
use
has
been
using
a
proportional
one
to
elect
their
upper
house,
the
their
federal
senate
since
the
1940s,
the
republic
of
ireland
used
proportional
rank
choice,
voting
to
elect
their
lower
house.
G
D
G
Specifically
within
california,
because
I
know
there's
there's
always
fear
of
that
this
this
you
know
letter
right
there
that
yeah.
B
Actually,
contrary
to
contrary
to
being
to
being
illegal-
or
you
know
not
accepted,
it
has
actually
been
used
as
a
remedy
for
voting
rights
act.
Lawsuits.
D
C
D
Yes,
albany
was,
this
is
actually
part
of
a
settlement
in
the
city
of
albany
to
use
proportional,
ranked
choice,
voting
and
the
city
of
palm
desert
when
they
settled
their
cvra
notice
letter.
They
reached
a
settlement
that
involved
the
use
of
proportional
rank
choice,
voting
in
a
two
district
system
and
by
actually
having
two
districts,
and
I
would
defer
to
your
city
attorney
on
this,
but
my
reading
and
I'm
not
an
attorney.
D
My
reading
of
the
cfra
says
that
if
you
have
districts,
they
don't
have
to
be
single
member
districts.
It's
just
if
you
have
districts.
If,
if
you
have
no
at
large
city
council
members,
then
you're
in
the
sea
very
safe
harbor,
so
a
two
different
system,
I
would
argue,
would
keep
you
in
this
very
safe
harbor
and
you
wouldn't
have
to
worry
about
a
threat
later.
D
If
it
is
providing
more,
if
it
is
providing
representation
for
protected
groups,
then
well,
there's
you
probably
won't
get
a
threat
letter
from
someone
who
has
a
reputation
for
for
good
friend,
letters
such
as
ken
shankman
or
the
excuse
me
or
robert
rubin,
or
I
did
some
a
couple
of
others.
D
The
law
alliance-
you
know
a
couple
of
these
other
firms
that
are
deaf
they're
organizations
that
are
legitimate,
and
then
there
are
a
couple
of
fly-by-night
attorneys
that
file
cvra
threat
letters
hoping
to
collect
thirty
thousand
dollars
and
they've
been
successfully
resisted.
D
So
when
you
get
a
seavery,
if
you
do
get
a
cvra
notice
letter,
I
know
you're
going
to
districts
because
you
want
to
avoid
notice
letter.
If
you
get
a
notice
letter
from
somebody
like
kevin
checkman,
then
yes,
you
need
to
pay
attention.
But
if
you
get
a
threat
letter
from
somebody
with
no
track
record
with
c
very
lawsuits,
it
can
be
successfully
resisted
yeah,
and
I
can
give
you
two
examples
of
that:
palo
alto,
unified
school
district,
they
got
a
threat
letter.
D
There
was
a
back
and
forth
communication
between
the
school
district's
attorney
and
the
person
who
filed
the
letter.
They
eventually
went
away
and
then
the
city
of
fort
bragg
got
a
letter
from
a
local
attorney
and
after
going
back
and
forth
and
showing
that
there
weren't
enough
people
in
a
protected
group
to
draw
a
district
that
would
enable
them
to
get
representation.
He
said
well,
why
don't
you
give
me
twenty
thousand
dollars
and
and
and
study
how
you
elect
your
counsel
and
I'll
go
away
and
that's
what
happened
there.
G
D
The
the
change,
the
demographic
change
to
the
population.
Similarly,
with
the
the
city
of
cincinnati,
which
used
to
use
the
proportional,
rare,
proportional
form
of
rank,
choice,
voting
to
like
their
city
council
as
the
they've
elected
nine
member
council,
where
the
threshold
of
election
when
you're
electing
online
at
once,
is
only
ten
percent.
D
So
as
the
as
the
african-american
population
crossed
that
ten
percent
threshold,
they
were
able
to
successfully
elect
one
person
and,
as
they
got
closer
to
20,
they
were
able
to
like
two
people
to
the
council
and
then
because
the
majority
was
getting
a
little
offset
with
having
blacks
on
the
city
council
in
nineteen.
It
was
in
1955,
they
repealed
it
and
went
to
a
nine
vote
for
nine.
The
top
nine
vote
gets
went
plurality
system
and
under
that
system,
no
african
americans
were
elected
to
the
council.
D
As
a
matter
of
fact,
the
proportional
version
of
ranked
choice
voting
was
used
by
many
communities
in
the
united
states
in
the
first
half
of
the
20th
century,
and
they
were
so
successful
at
electing
both
political
and
ethnic
minorities
that
the
white
conservative
power
structures
used
racism
and
red
baiting
after
world
war
ii
to
drive
their
appeal
efforts
so
that,
after
world
war
ii,
that
they
were
appealed
every
place,
except
in
cambridge
massachusetts,
which
still
lives
today
and
the
city
of
albany
will
be
the
second
city
in
the
united
states
to
use
proportional
rank
choice.
G
All
right,
thank
you
thanks
for
that,
and
then
is
there
a
and
you
I
don't
know
if
you
have
used
to
this,
but
do
you
have
any
idea
what
the
cost
is,
like
an
average
cost
for
a
city
of
our
size,
to
move
to
the
proportional
voting
method,
because
we've
just
spent
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
move
to
districting
and
I'm
curious
to
know
if
there's
a
comparison.
D
Well
again,
that's
I
don't
well,
let's
see
how
large
is
your
city.
D
Okay,
I
don't
know
how
large
albany
is.
I'd
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
that,
because
albany
is
going
to
rank
choice,
voting
and
there's
three
still
I'll
be
the
fourth
city
in
alameda
county
choose
rancho's
voting
when,
when
alameda
county
acquired
the
equipment
to
do
ranked
choice
voting,
they
signed
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
oakland
san
leandro
and
berkeley
to
basically
split
the
costs.
D
Now
that
albany's
using
it,
I
think
they're
going
to
rejigger
that
formula
and
then
fine,
so
I'll
be
able
to
find
out
hopefully
soon
but
I'll,
see.
If
I
can
find
out
if
albany
albany's
being
charged
and
what
the
population
of
albany
is
and
then
maybe
we
can
scale
that
to
what
the
popular
relation
of
san
bruno
is.
But
I
don't
have
it
off
the
top
of
my
head
bob
happy
to
see
if
I
can
get
those
numbers
for
you.
Okay,.
G
Thank
you
and
then
I
have
one
other
question
that
is
kind
of
random.
I
just
don't.
I
don't
have.
I
don't
know
the
answer,
but
I
know
that
santa
monica
successfully
appealed
appeal
their
case
and
so
I'm
curious
to
know
if
they
have
moved
in
any
of
these
alternative
voting
methods
when
they
won
their.
D
Case
and
feel
free
to
give
some
background,
but
just
I
know
help
supreme
court
rules
on
it.
Yet
I
don't
think
so
yeah
they
want
the
appeal
at
the
at
the
appellate
level,
but
now
it's
in
the
california
supreme
court.
So
it's
not
over
yet
yeah,
but
we
santa
monica.
I
believe,
that's
where
michael
feinstein,
we
do
have
activists
down
there
who
are
supportive
of
professional,
ranked
choice,
voting
who
would
like
to
see
santa
monica
adopt
that.
G
Just
wait:
yeah
just
okay,
just
waiting,
and
then
I
guess
my
last
question
is
regarding
just
the
division
of
cities.
Does
it
does?
It
seem
like
there's
more
public
support
for
less
division
of
districts,
because
I
know
one
of
the
regular
comments
we
get
is
we're
dividing
our
city
right
and
in
the
method
that
was
presented
tonight.
You
could
really
divide
your
city
into
two
instead
of
four
five
and
seven.
E
D
Of
electing
a
city
council
is
perfect,
there's
arguments
on
both
sides
for
districts
and
for
at
large,
and
actually
the
city
of
oakland
has
a
hybrid
system
where
I
think
they've
got
eight
districts
and
then
a
ninth
c
council
member
who's
elected
at
large.
D
The
mayor
is
separately
elected
at
large,
but
the
mayor
does
not
sit
on
the
city
council,
so
they
had
so
they
do
that
and
when
you
have,
for
example,
like
let's
say
where
san
bruno
is
going
towards
you're
going
to
still
have
an
at-large
elected
mayor.
So
then
some
saying
who
does
sit
on
the
city
council
so
in
some
sense
that's
a
hybrid
type
system.
F
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
It
really
is
fascinating
with
this.
This
experiment
that
this
grand
experiment
that
our
our
country
started
with
I
did
want
to
point
out.
Although
santa
monica
did
win
their
case
on
appeal,
it
did
cost
some
six
million
dollars
to
do
it,
and
that
was
part
of
the
factoring
in
my
vote.
Was
san
bruno
couldn't
afford
to
spend
much
money
fighting
a
case
because
our
revenues
aren't
there
santa
monica
decided
to
for
whatever
reason
and
and
that's
a
different
story,
I
was
able
to
quickly
look
up.
F
Albany
california
has
20
000
271
people
and
what
what
I
think
this
comes
to
is,
although
it
is
a
very
interesting
interesting
system,
and-
and
I
like
it,
it
requires
the
vote
of
the
people
to
establish
that
in
the
charter,
which
it
didn't
work
up
in
timing
for
us
that
that's
that's
the
bottom
line
for
me
now
my
next
question
and
it
could
be
to
staff
or
to
you
to
your
group.
F
Can
a
charter
be
established
that
lists
two
different
items?
What
and
what
we're
looking
at
is
the
commercial
property
transaction
tax
or
fee
whatever
you
want.
However,
you
want
to
use
that
word
and
adding
the
both
the
voting
method
here.
F
Does
that
all
have
to
happen
in
the
same
charter,
or
can
it
be
two
different
things
to
get
brought
forward
and
the
voters
get
to
vote
on
both
of
them
separately
I'll
get
to
vote
on
them
at
the
same
time
and
they're
both
passed
and
we
have
a
charter
with
the
commercial
sales
fee
and
the
alternative
voting
method.
D
There
may
be
a
way
that
you
could
have
a
charter
and
something
that
would
amend
the
charter
if
it
passed.
I
you
know
you
have
to
work
out
with
the
city
attorney,
but
of
course
you
could
put
a
your
basic
charter
on
this
november
ballot
and
then
once
a
a
charter
can
only
be
adopted
in
november,
but
a
charter
can
be
amended
in
a
primary
election,
so
you
could
put
your
basic
charter
on
the
november
22
ballot
and
then
have
a
discussion
and
you're
going
to
have
an
election
in
november.
Anyway.
D
The
charters
can
affect
your
your
district
elections
that
are
happening
this
november.
Have
your
lectures
they
have
a
discussion
asked
who
do
we
want
to
move
to
a
proportional
system,
for
example,
and
if
people
decide
to
do
that,
then
in
2024
the
primary
will
be
in
march.
You
could
put
a
charter
amendment
on
that
ballot
on
that
ballot
and
if
it
got
passed,
then
your
november
election
could
use
proportional
electorally.
C
Only
only
that
steve
is
correct
in
that
there
are
probably
as
many
different
kinds
of
mechanisms
as
you
can
dream
up
to
you
know
you
could
place
us
in
the
charter
in
front
of
the
voters
in
november.
You
could
keep
it
out
of
the
charter
and
have
it
have
it
be
a
separate
item?
C
You
could
do
it
in
the
amended
in
a
different
election,
but
all
of
those
things
would
at
the
moment
anyway,
unless
the
city
council
decided
to
forestall
the
district
election
system
would
have
to
go
forward
independently
or
the
district
election
would
still
have
to
go
forward.
Unless
the
city
council
wishes
to
affirmatively
pause
that
process
to
engage
in
in
this
process
and
see
whether
the
voters
approve
it
because
in
any
event,
it
couldn't
be
that
the
proportional
voting
system
could
not
be
implemented
until
2024
at
the
earliest.
D
C
D
Other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
there
actually
are
city
charters
that
leave
the
choice
of
electoral
system
up
to
the
council,
to
enact
by
ordinance
the
city
of
albany
had
that
language
in
their
charter,
their
actual
going
through
proportional
rights
voting
was
done
by
ordinance.
It
was
a
voter
approved
ordinance,
but
it
was
an
ordinance
nonetheless,
and
the
same
with
the
city
of
san
leandro.
D
H
F
F
D
A
D
Negotiated
the
I
don't
even
know
if
it's
a
purchase
or
a
lease
but
negotiated
a
contract
with
dominion
to
acquire
the
dominion
system,
I'm
assuming
since
no
jurisdictions
in
san
mateo
county
used
rank
choice,
voting
or
had
expressed
interest
that
it
wasn't
part
of
the
contract
negotiation
process
and
therefore
the
contract
may
not
include
the
use
of
the
dominion.
Ranked
choice.
Voting
software
module
that
soft
module
handles
both
the
single
winner
and
proportional
versions
of
rank
choice.
D
Voting
it's
been
certified
by
the
state
of
california
for
both
when
santa
clara
county
negotiated
its
contract,
because
there
was
interest
expressed
in
santa
clara
county
of
using
ranked
choice,
voting.
They
negotiated
a
price
up
front
for
the
use
of
that
module
and
that's
where
that
five
percent
comes
in
and
when
then,
of
course,
in
albany
and
san
francisco
were
already
using
rank
choice
voting
for
their
older
generation
of
equipment.
D
So
when
they
negotiated
contract
with
dominion,
they
negotiated,
including
the
use
of
the
module,
and
I
don't
think
it's
called
out
as
a
separate
line
item
in
those
contacts.
But
I
actually
haven't
looked
at
those
contracts.
So
it
may
be
hard
to
separate
that
out,
but
my
experience
with
election
system
vendors
just
observing
the
process.
They
basically
want
to
make
as
much
money
as
they
can
and
you're
in
a
much
better
bargaining
position
when
you're
negotiating
the
contract
before
you've
signed
it
than
if
you're
trying
to
get
an
add-on
after
you've
signed
the
contract.
D
So
it
depends
upon
how
good
a
negotiation
the
registrar
in
san
mateo
county
can
do
with
dominion
in
terms
of
getting
that
module
and
then,
of
course,
it's
a
question
of.
Does
the
county
want
to
pass
the
entire
cost
of
that
module
onto
san
bruno
because
you're,
the
first
people
who
are
going
to
use
it
might
be
better?
For
example,
I
know
there's
people
in
redwood
city
redwood,
so
they
believe
this
is
disregions,
but
there
are
activists
there
would
like
to
see.
D
Redwood
city
go
to
a
right
choice,
voting
system
and,
of
course,
they're
a
much
big
city
and
if
they
absorb
more
of
the
cost
of
the
rank
choice,
building
module
that
would
be
less
than
a
cost
with
san
bruno.
So
maybe
one
of
the
things
to
do
is
to
lobby
your
cities
in
san
mateo
county,
the
ones
that
you
have
district
elections
to
to
to
adopt
ranked
choice
running
as
well.
A
F
In
a
in
a
scenario
where
you
use
proportional
rank,
choice,
voting
and
divide
the
city
into
two
districts.
What
happens
if
you
have
an
odd
number
of
council
members,
because
one
of
one
other
thing
that's
potentially
on
the
horizon
would
be
to.
If
the
voters
decide
to
go
with
a
rotating
mayor,
we
would
have
five
council
members.
So
how
would
that
work
with
two
districts
or
what
could
it
be.
D
Yeah
yeah
it
could.
You
could
have
one
district
that
elects
three
and
one
district
that
elects
two.
That's
one.
You.
D
F
That
was
my
second
question
is:
do
you
need
some
districts
at
all?
If
you're
using
you.
D
Don't
need
to
albany
does
not
have
districts,
they
have
a
five
member
council
three
in
one
cycle,
two
in
another:
they
they
select
their
mayor.
They
do
not
have
a
separately
elected
mayor
and
it
does
change
the
threshold
election
when
you're
electing
three
people.
The
threshold
drops
to
25
when
you're
electing
two
people,
like
I
said
before
the
threshold's
at
33
and
a
third
percent.
D
So
that's
another
way,
you
could
do
it
or
you
could
go
hybrid.
If
you
wanted
two
districts,
you
could
elect
two
and
two
and
then
one
at
large.
B
There
was
a
question
earlier
about
how
districts
are
perceived
as
dividing
the
city,
which
is,
which
is
what
they're
doing
you're,
dividing
it
up
in
some
way
or
another.
And
of
course
the
big
question
is
in
what
way
are
we
going
to
divide
the
city?
So
if
you
were
to
to
move
to
proportional,
you
could,
as
steve
just
said,
simply
do
at
large
across
the
board
and
if
you
were
to
elect
all
five
candidates
at
the
same
time,
you
know
not
any
staggered
terms,
but
to
do
you
know
every.
B
However
many
years
all
five
are
up
for
re-election,
then,
as
steve
said,
threshold
for
election
is
reduced
with
a
with
a
five
person
with
five
a
five
winner
election,
the
threshold
to
win
is
less
less
than
twenty
percent
depends,
there's
two
different
towing
methods,
but,
and
so
with
that
lower
threshold
to
win
then
more
diverse
communities,
any
community,
that's
more
than
20
of
the
population,
has
a
very
viable
chance
of
electing
at
least
one
candidate
of
their
choice
to
city
council,
and
they
feel
that
they
have
some
representation.
B
F
So
then,
my
last
question
would
be
with
that
without
having
any
not
having
any
districts,
then
bring
this
all
the
way
back
to
the
beginning,
where,
where
there's
there's
potential
litigation
under
the
cbra
since
having
just
concern,
we
heard
earlier
that
just
having
districts
kind
of
makes
it
makes
it
makes
it
good,
even
if
it's
only
two.
But
now,
if
you
go
back
to
having
zeros,
that
does
not
bring
us
all
the
way
back
to
where
we
started.
D
If
you
have
all
you
have
all
your
council
members,
whether
with
us
with
or
without
a
stagger
using
proportional
ranked
voting
but
elected
city-wide,
you
are
not
as
my
reading
of
the
seavery
you're,
not
in
the
safe
harbor,
and
I
can
I'll
send
I'll,
send
you
the
the
settlement
agreement
that
albany
came
up
with
that
that
how
they're
handling
that
particular
situation,
because
after
they
decided
to
put
it
on
the
on
the
on
the
ballot
at
after
it
after
they
got
it
on
the
ballot.
D
But
before
it
was
passed
by
the
voters,
they
did
receive
a
cvra
threat
letter.
It's
actually
one
of
the
council
members
who
did
not
want
the
adoption
of
proportional
rank.
Choice
voting
actually
contacted
the
attorney.
D
So
it's
not
not
done
on
an
honest,
honest
process
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
anyway,
but
I
can
get
to
their
settlement
agreement.
It
wouldn't
put
you
in
a
safe
harbor,
but
if
you're
getting
adequate
reputation
for
protected
minorities,
then
there
really
would
be
no
motivation
for
the
legitimate
voting
rights
community
to
send
you
a
notice
letter
you
would
get.
You
could
get
a
notice
letter
from
one
of
these
fly-by-night
attorneys
but,
as
I
said,
they've
been
successfully
resisted
because
they
have
no
trafficker,
they
don't
really
want
to.
A
Great
that
was
very
helpful.
Thank
you.
Okay,
this
time,
let's
see
if
we
have
any
members
of
the
community
that
would
like
to
speak
on
this
topic
from
the
presentation
that
we
had
not
seen
any
at
this
time.
I
want
to
thank
both
of
you
for
your
time,
your
presentation
and
answering
questions,
and
we
do
have
a
another
group,
the
election
science
that
will
be
coming
up
next
and
you
can
bring
them
in.
A
We
wish
both
of
you
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Alex
so
I'm
not
sure
if
city,
I
think,
city
hall's
kind
of
brought
us
forward
to,
we
would
like
to
hear
from
you
and
would
like
you
to
if
you
need
to
share
the
screen
or
whatever
in
up
to
20
minutes.
If
you
could
certainly
give
your
presentation
to
us,
we'll
ask
for
questions
from
council,
then
we'll
see
about
public
and
and
then
finish
up.
E
Okay,
excellent,
so
no
need
to
share
the
screen
got
some
some
good
magic
happening
here,
and
I,
I
think,
one
of
the
things
I
actually
really
want
to
start
off
with
is
I
really
want
to
thank
diane
and
steve
for
their
presentation?
I
think
it's
absolutely
excellent.
I
I
want
to
first
take
a
step
back
and
say
that,
like
we're
not
coming
at
things
from
an
adversarial
perspective,
we
are
both
very
engaged
peoples
in
the
voting
reform.
Community.
E
Anything
is
better
than
plurality
voting,
and
so,
as
long
as
as
long
as
san
bruno
does
not
use
plurality
voting
anymore,
I
think
you
know
both
of
us
can
count
that
as
a
win,
but
I
am
here
to
make
a
presentation
on
approval
voting
which
is
going
to
be
a
simpler
alternative
to
rankles
voting
captures
all
of
the
benefits
that
they
talk
about,
but
will
make
your
life
a
lot
easier
in
this
actual
implementation
and
also
for
citizens
to
be
able
to
use
it.
E
So,
first
about
the
center
for
election
science,
we're
a
national,
non-partisan,
non-profit
and
obviously
we're
here
to
talk
about
approval
voting.
So,
let's
what
we're
gonna
do
is
we're
gonna.
First.
A
Because
I
very
much
apologize
for
for
that
you're
having
your
display,
is
there
any
way
for
it
to
be
shared
so
that
we
could
see
it
easier
I'll
speak
for
myself?
Oh,
I
might.
E
Not
yeah,
if
you
can,
if
you
pin
at
me,
I
don't
know
if
you
get
the.
If,
if
that
works
for
everyone,
but
effectively.
E
Absolutely
let
me
bring
that
up.
Sorry,
let's
do
that.
E
Okay,
excellent:
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
have
everything,
so
I
can
see
you
and
I
can
see
myself
so
the
structure
of
the
of
the
talks
I'm
going
to
be
giving
today
is
first
we're
going
to
go
over
the
basics,
we're
going
to
do
a
bit
of
a
head-to-head
of
approval,
voting
and
rank-choice
voting,
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
impact
for
everyday
voters
and
how
making
that
change
actually
works.
E
E
I
I
I
With
65
against
her
opponent,
mr
squash
and
she
still
enjoys
strong
support
once
again,
mr
squash
is
quick
to
challenge
miss
blueberry,
but
this
time
they're
joined
by
a
third
challenger.
Mr
peach,
who
shares
similar
views
with
mayor
blueberry,
sweet
talks,
almost
half
of
blueberry
supporters,
into
switching
their
vote
to
him.
While
mr
squash
was
the
same
35
percent,
he
had
last
time.
The
votes
are
counted,
and
what's
this,
mr
squish
wins,
blueberry
and
peach
have
split
the
fruit
boat.
How
did
this
happen?
I
I
I
Approval
voting
accurately
reflects
peach's
support.
May
your
blueberry
wins.
The
election
democracy
is
restored.
Approval
voting
is
more
than
just
a
smart
idea
in
plantsville.
It's
a
smart
idea
anywhere.
You
vote.
Approval
voting
is
used
by
organizations
across
the
globe
and
for
good
reason.
It's
democratic,
because
the
candidate
with
the
most
support
wins.
It
removes
the
spoiler
effect.
I
E
All
know
about
that,
but
so
I
think
it's
very
clear
that
both
ranked
choice,
voting
and
approval
voting
have
the
same
enemy,
which
is
vote
splitting
and
also
my
one-year-old
daughter,
running
through
the
house.
So
we're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
the
same
benefits
in
that
we
end
up
removing
vote
studying
because
of
that.
So,
for
example,
the
the
person
with
the
most
approval
is
the
person
who
wins
just
in
the
same
way
that
right
choice,
voting
talks
about
you
know
their
being
a
majority
winner.
E
E
E
But
effectively
you
can
already
run
approval
voting
elections
using
the
software
you
already
have,
so
you
know
no
need
to
to
spend
the
sixty
thousand
dollars
or
the
the
five
percent
in
order
to
be
able
to
to
upgrade
your
systems,
you
can
use
it
with
the
software
that
you
have
right
now.
E
So
let's
talk
about
how
these
voting
methods
are
different,
it's
certainly
something
I've
counted
a
lot
where
people
like
hang
on
a
second
like
approval
voting.
How?
How
is
that
different
between
these
two?
Let's
first
go
into
plurality
voting.
E
So
when
you
get
the
results
from
plurality
voting
the
thing
that
they're
reporting
is
the
percentage
of
vote,
which
means
that,
in
order
for
a
candidate
to
you,
know,
gain
vote
share,
they
need
to
take
votes
away
from
somebody
else.
E
So
here
we
have
a
candidate
who's,
one
with
three
percent
of
the
vote.
But
you
know:
that's
not
necessarily.
You
know
a
a
large
amount
of
support,
it's
hard
to
see
that
there's
any
kind
of
consensus
between
the
around
the
ex-candidate.
E
So
in
ranked
choice
voting
you,
you
vote
relatively
the
same
way
in
that
the
you
know.
The
only
thing
that
really
counts
is
your
first
place
vote
until
your
first
place
candidate
is
eliminated,
so
it
is
still
plurality
voting.
It's
just
that
you
have
a
second
go
round
once
your
candidate
has
been
eliminated,
but
that
also
means
that
fundamentally,
your
candidates
aren't
independent
from
each
other.
E
So
the
other
way
that
that
ranked
race
voting
works
is
that
it
eliminates
candidates
sequentially
in
order
for
there
to
be
a
majority,
but
I
don't
think
it's
fair
to
call
something:
a
majority
when
you
eliminate
people's
choices
until
you
end
up
the
inclusive
candidate,
ultimately,
in
ranked
choice
voting
you
can
end
up
with
a
candidate
who
has.
It
was
supported
by
less
than
50
percent
of
all
the
people
who
voted,
and
I
think
you
know
saying
something
saying
that
a
true
majority
is
elected
using
right
choice.
E
Voting
under
all
circumstances
is
not
an
accurate
description
of
how
the
how
the
system
works
or
how
it
how
it
works
for
democracy.
E
So,
let's
talk
about
approval
voting
in
approval
voting.
All
of
your
votes
for
each
candidate
are
entirely
independent,
meaning
that,
if
I
vote
for,
if
I
vote
for
candidate
a
I
can,
I'm
not
hurting
candidate
b
and
and
vice
vice
versa,
and
so
just
in
the
same
way
that
you
can
have
many
friends.
Many
food
preferences
you
can
say
here
are
the
things
I
do
like
here
are
the
things
I
don't
like,
and
just
because
I,
like
a
bunch
of
things,
doesn't
mean
I
necessarily
have
to
put
them
in
order.
E
You
just
said:
okay,
you
know
these
are
the
things
that
I
like,
which
means
that
when
you
actually
get
your
results,
the
results
are
super
easy
to
understand.
So
we
know
that
candidate
candidate
x
was
approved
of
by
57
people
out
of
the
100
people
who
vote
in
that
election.
There's
no
runoff,
there's
no
complicated
mathematics
and
it
means
that
even
losers
know
how
much
support
they
had.
So
if
they
want
to
go
around
for
a
second
time,
let's
say
that
you
know
the
the
candidate
is
turned
out.
E
They
know
that
it's
going
to
be
worth
it
which
keeps
candidates
in
the
game
and
makes
it
so
that
they
they
they
know
how
well
they
did.
E
So,
let's
compare
the
two.
The
first
thing
with
ranked
choice.
Voting
is
knowing
what
the
public
wanted.
So
approval
voting
was
enacted
in
st
louis
with
our
help
in
2002,
and
we
was
used
in
the
st
louis
election
shortly
thereafter,
tadara
jones.
Oh
sorry,
I'm
just
going
to
catch
my
breath,
so
tashara
jones
had
57
approval
from
her
election.
Cara
spencer
had
46
percent
of
the
of
support
from
the
total
electorate
for
their
election.
Now
you
notice
this.
E
You
know
these
percentages,
don't
add
up
to
100,
that's
because
all
of
the
candidates
are
independent,
but
it
means
that
tashara
jones,
when
she
went
to
office,
was
able
to
say
hey.
I
I
have
a
majority
support
and
it's
absolutely
unambiguous.
There
is
no
fuzzing
with
various
different
run-offs.
You
know.
E
Without
a
doubt,
we
have
asked
everyone
who
voted
57
of
those
people
actually
supported
that
candidate.
E
On
the
other
hand,
here's
a
tabulation
result
from
from
oakland,
and
you
can
see
that
gene
quan
ends
up
with
50
50
percent
of
the
vote,
but
she
certainly
didn't
start
with
it.
In
fact,
gene
quanah
started
with
25
percent
of
the
vote
and
ended
up
gaining
those
percentages
through
the
subsequent
rounds.
E
There
are
we're
showing
five
rounds
here,
but
there
were
ten
rounds
total
in
this
election
and
that's
one
of
the
biggest
ones
that
I've
seen
both
I
live
in
san
francisco
and
I've
lived
in
oakland
actually
living
through
ranked
choice
voting
elections.
E
It
is
very,
very
difficult
to
tell
who
the
winner
is
going
to
be,
especially
when
you
think
about
what
happened
in
new
york
city,
where
there
were
two
weeks,
they
were
counting
the
ballots
and
trying
to
figure
out
who
was
the
win
and
the
the
register
of
voters
was
releasing
information.
E
You
know
in
drips
and
drabs
about
who
might
be
gaining
in
in
certain
places.
It
makes
the
system
incredibly
difficult,
and
that's
because
french
responding
also
requires
all
of
the
ballots
to
be
centralized
in
order
for
them
to
be
counted
as
opposed
to
being
summable
at
the
various
different
voting
precincts
and
just
pulled
in
you
say,
like
oh
yeah,
you
know
under
approval
voting.
You
know
this
candidate.
Has
this
many
votes
great
record
that
and
make
sure
that
it's
all
certified
later
so
issue
number
two
is
vote
splitting
so
vote.
E
Splitting
is
entirely
removed
in
approval
voting,
because
every
candidate
is
independent
and
every
cat
is
running
their
own
race,
just
in
the
same
way
that
when
you're
running
you
know,
if
you're
trying
to
get
better
at
running
you're
trying
to
compete
with
yourself
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
you
have
as
much
approval
as
a
and
and
in
approval
voting
you're
trying
to
get
as
much
approval
as
you
can
so
you're
incentivized
to
reach
out
to
various
different
communities.
E
E
So
one
of
the
things
that
steve
chesson
talked
about
was
that
no
election
system
is
is
perfect.
You
know
again
rank
choice.
Voting
I
would
you
know
I
would
get
a
seven
out
of
ten
if
it's
between
plurality
voting
and
ranked
choice
voting,
I
would
always
pick
francis
voting,
but
there
are
situations
where
rank
choice.
E
Voting
can
lead
to
an
error
in
that
there
is
a
candidate
that
would
beat
every
other
candidate
head
to
head,
but
instead
because
they
didn't
have
a
lot
of
first
place,
support
they're
kicked
out
of
the
election
early
and
and
and
effectively.
You
know
the
the
person
who
wins
is
a
random
choice
between
the
the
left
or
the
right.
E
In
that
scenario,
there
is
history
of
it
happening
in
burlington,
vermont
and
shortly
thereafter,
burlington
vermont
repealed,
ranked
choice,
voting
and
and
we've
seen
ranked
choice,
voting
repealed
from
many
other
cities
across
the
united
states.
So,
while
rank
responding
does
have
momentum,
it
also
does
have
a
history
of
repeal,
mainly
due
to
complexity
and
also
it
yielding
a
result.
That
was
not
the
will
of
the
people.
E
This
situation
is
rare.
I
want
everyone
to
understand
that
this
is
not
the
worst
thing
about
ranked
choice
voting,
but
I
want
to
understand
that
it's
a
possibility
and
it's
a
possibility
that
literally,
cannot
occur
under
approval
voting.
E
So
let's
talk
about
number
three,
which
is
ease
of
use
for
voters
and
administrators.
It
is
impossible
for
a
candidate
to
spoil
a
ballot.
I
recently
gave
a
talk
to
the
people
of
san
francisco
for
together
ff
on
how
ranked
choice
voting
works
in
order
to
make
sure
that
people
knew
how
to
fill
out
their
ballot
properly.
But,
for
example,
you
know
I
I
would
quiz
you
what
happens
when
you
rank
two
candidates
at
the
same
level.
E
What
happens
to
the
rankings
that
are
after
you
know
that
that
overvote,
for
that
particular
rank
in
san
francisco,
if
there
is
an
overvote
all
rankings
after
that
are
eliminated,
because
the
the
will
of
the
voter
can't
be
interpreted
under
approval
loading?
You
don't
have
to
worry
about
that
problem.
Now,
there's
always
a
situation
where
a
candidate
can
tear
up
their
ballot,
but
a
approval.
E
Voting
ballot
is
still
valid,
even
if
a
candidate
votes
for
no,
even
if
a
voter
votes
for
all
candidates
on
that
ballot
or
if
they
vote
for
no
candidates
on
that
ballot.
It's
just
them
giving
their
opinion
about
how
it
works.
E
Oh
and
also
I'll,
say
that
approval
voting
is
is
free
to
implement,
because
all
voting
machines
can
can
already
do
that
and
that's
what
we
saw
in
fargo
north
korea,
when
it
was
implemented
there
in
2018
and
saint
louis
missouri,
when
it
was
implemented
in
2020.
E
So
one
of
the
interesting
things
is,
I
was
very
interested
to
see
that
in
the
favorite
presentation
they
didn't
actually
show
any
of
the
rankings
voting
ballots.
I
don't
know,
maybe
I
maybe
made
a
mistake.
Maybe
I
didn't
necessarily
see
it
there,
but
you
know
here
are
some
of
the
instructions
about
how
people
are
encouraged
to
not
spoil
their
ballot
in
in
ranked
voting
elections,
and
I
should
mention
that
spoiled
ballots
and
ranked
responding.
Elections
are
significant
and
and
and
can
very
often
sorry.
E
I
don't
want
to
say
very
often,
but
there
have
been
many
situations
in
which
the
number
of
spoiled
ballots
outnumber
the
difference
between
the
various
two
candidates
in
the
last
in
the
final
runoff.
So
it's
something
that
that
needs
to
be
considered
seriously
in
order
to
make
sure
that
the
will
of
the
people
is
actually
represented
properly.
E
It's
also
important
to
talk
about
exhaustion,
so
say,
for
example,
in
district
7
in
the
the
20
in
the
most
recent
election
for
san
francisco.
E
The
the
person
who
ended
up
winning
was
the
was
was
ranked
fifth
for
surface
in
in
the
first
round
tallies,
which
meant
that
there
were
a
significant
number
of
the
votes
that
that
didn't
even
vote
for
that
candidate,
but
every
other
candidate
was
eliminated
before
them,
and,
and
so
the
number
of
exhausted
ballots
outweighed
the
difference
between
the
top
two
candidates.
E
Again,
this
situation
is,
is
rare,
but
does
happen
can
be
one
of
the
ways
that
people
can
lose
faith
in
in
rank,
choice,
voting
and
a
situation,
that's
avoided
using
approval
voting.
E
And,
lastly,
let's
talk
about
voter
voice
and
expressiveness,
so
the
simplicity
of
approval
voting
is
one
of
the
biggest
benefits
that
it
has.
Everyone
can
understand
saying:
okay,
you
know.
Yes,
I
like
this
candidate,
this
candidate,
this
candidate.
No,
I
don't
like
these
candidates.
It
means
that
the
better
education
and
outreach
is
incredibly
simple
and
very
affordable.
We
have
I'm
going
to
be
getting
to
polls
a
little
bit
after
this,
but
effectively
every
every
vote
matters.
E
Every
vote
is
counted
and
it
helps
paint
a
better
picture
of
what
the
electorate
actually
wants.
I
think
we've
already
gone
over
this
a
little
bit.
So
what's
the
impact
for
everyday
voters
so
isn't
louis
in
2017,
linda
cruzen
won,
won
her
mayorship
with
32
percent
of
the
vote.
Clearly,
no
kind
of
endorsement
or
majority,
so
in
2020
lewis
voted
on
proposition
b
to
implement
approval,
voting
it
passed
by
68.2,
which
is
an
absolute
landslide.
E
In
2021,
the
st
louis
had
its
mayoral
elections
so
due
to
state
law,
the
saint
louis
is
required
to
have
two
stage
elections
because
they
need
they
have
a
majority
requirement
so
effectively.
We
had
an
open
approval,
voting
primary
in
that
primary
tashara
jones
got
57
and
kara
spencer
got
46
percent
lewis,
reid
got
39
and
you
know
lewis
reed
had
18
in
the
previous
election.
E
E
So
there
were
1.6
votes
per
ballot,
which
meant
the
majority
of
people
voted
for
more
than
one
candidate,
and
it
was
the
second
highest
turnout
in
16
years,
despite
it
being
coveted,
and
there
was
no
vote
splitting
that
was
recorded
in
in
the
election,
because
everyone
is
able
to
vote
for
their
candidates
that
they
approved
of
the
center
for
election
science.
Commission,
the
poll
which
got
411
voters
there's
a
lot
of
vl
here.
E
But
the
biggest
thing
is
that
both
black
voters
and
white
voters
felt
comfortable.
They
liked
using
it
and
they
felt
like
they
could
vote
for
their
favor
without
a
fear
of
creating
spoilers.
E
It
was
approved
strongly
by
fifa,
bachelor's
degrees
or
some
college
or
less
so.
People
with
higher
education
really
enjoyed
it.
I
think
this
is
yeah,
okay,
so
some
college,
sorry
bachelor's
degree
or
higher
some
college
or
less
meaning,
meaning
we
may
not
have
any
kind
of
college
education
whatsoever.
E
E
Approval
voting
doesn't
discriminate
in
that
fashion
and
we
also
polled
across
the
united
states
using
change
research
in
2019
across
likely
voters,
so
we're
asking
them
about.
You
know
how
much
have
you
heard
about
about
approval
and
rank
choice?
Voting
a
lot
of
people
have
heard
about
so
49
percent
of
people
said
they'd
heard
a
lot
about
ranked
choice.
E
Voting
39
of
people
have
heard
about
approval,
so
we
we
clearly
admit
we're,
not
necessarily
in
everyone's
mindset,
but
for
those
who
said
you
know
a
little
bit,
you
know
we're
on
the
same
level
of
rank,
choice,
voting
and
approval
voting.
You
know
this
is.
It
is
something
that
people
are
aware
of.
E
Ranked
choice
voting
has
more
support
across
the
u.s
average
democrats.
Independents
and
republicans
especially
interesting,
is
looking
at
the
percentage
of
support
for
approval
voting
rank
choice.
Voting
is
very
clearly
seen
as
a
democratic
reform
and
something
that
is
not
acceptable
in
in
republican
circles.
I
I
know
we're
all
the
bay
area
here,
but
I
think
you
know,
even
among
democrats,
approval
voting
is
is
far
more
supported
than
ranked
choice.
Voting
when
it's
explained
in
the
poll.
E
And
I
don't
think
we
need
to
go
into
how
much
people
are
interested
in
alternatives.
I
think
everyone
knows
that
an
alternative
is
going
to
be
far
more
useful,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
these
slides
are
available
to
you.
E
Let's
pop
through
the
nation,
was
watching
st
louis
when,
when
they
moved
to
approval
voting,
I
think
one
of
the
things
that's
often
said
by
rcb
advocates
is
sure
there
are
alternate
methods,
but
none
of
them
have
necessarily
been
tried.
Yet
this
this
election
was
a
real
trial
by
fire
for
approval
voting
and
it
succeeded
without
a
doubt.
I
think
one
of
the
the
things
I
was
most
happy
about
was
the
statement
from
the
clerk
of
st
louis,
which
is
just
said
yeah.
E
I
don't
have
any
problems,
I
we
we
got
him
onto
a
goal
with
with
some
of
our
our
supporters
of
the
organization
he's
like
yeah,
I
you
know,
like
you
know.
We
just
drafted
the
the
ballot
with
with
these
this
particular
configuration,
and
it
was
absolutely
no
fuss
whatsoever.
E
So
there
are
many
reforms
needed
in
order
for
our
democracy
to
function
more
effectively,
open
primaries,
which,
thankfully
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
in
san
francisco.
I'm
really
happy
that
there
was
a
very
big
discussion
about
proportional
representation
previously
in
in
this
company.
In
this
call,
I
wanna
say
that
approval
voting
is
compatible
with
proportional,
proportional
representation.
E
But
the
biggest
thing
about
all
of
the
reforms
is
that
approval
voting
will
work
with
any
other
reform
that
you
have
or
any
other
system.
It
doesn't
preclude
you
moving
to
proportional
representation
or
having
various
other
electoral
reforms.
It
works
with
districting
or,
if
you
somehow
decide
not
to
move
to
districts.
Approval
voting
can
also
work
in
that
scenario
and
won't
have
the
same
downsides
as
california's
traditional
at-large
system.
E
The
costs
were
incredibly
minimal.
The
city
spent,
basically
nothing
on
on
voter
education
is
something
that
the
center
for
election
science
and
show
me
integrity,
which
is
the
organization
based
in
louis,
ran
entirely
by
themselves.
E
So
the
big
question
is:
why
make
the
change
we
just
did
a
a
big
round
table
of
a
bunch
of
candidates
that
were
based
out
of
ohio
and
asked
them.
E
You
know
how
was
your
experience
running
and
they
said
that
the
experience
was
particularly
painful
because
they
so
often
had
to
run
aggressive
campaigns
against
candidates
who
they
felt
were
very
similar
to
them
in
order
for
them
to
be
able
to
stand
out,
that's
one
of
the
biggest
disadvantages,
with
plurality
voting
as
it
stands
right
now,
and
it's
one
of
the
things
that's
easily
solved
with
approval
voting
in
that
you
can
run
an
election
where
you
say,
like
hey
vote
for
me
and
this
candidate
who's
very
like
me
and
as
many
candidates
as
as
are
like
me
as
as
can
be
on
the
ballot.
E
I
recently
ran
a
poll
for
the
organization.
That's
recalling
the
the
san
francisco
school
board
in
order
to
make
recommendations
for
these.
The
mayor
of
san
francisco,
in
order
for
them
to
be
able
to
appoint
people,
we
did
it
using
approval
voting.
We
had
an
absolutely
incredible
turnout
for
something:
that's
just
run
through
a
mailing
list
of
more
than
1
500
votes
over
over
one
day,
and
we
had
20
candidates
on
that
ballot
and
people
were
able
to
go
through
and
easily
say.
E
Okay,
I
you
know
these
are
the
candidates
that
I
want
to
support
and
they
didn't
have
to
think
about
all
of
them
or
all
of
them
relative
to
each
other.
They
just
had
to
think
like
okay,
you
know,
I
read
all
the
all
the
bios
here
are
the
ones
that
I
remember
here
are
the
ones
that
I'm
going
to
support.
A
E
No
worries
here,
let
me
just
you
know,
go
to
the
question
slide.
D
A
F
Hey
felix,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
My
my
main
question
is
similar
to
the
charter.
It
has
to
be
charter
in
order
to
go
forward
with
this
with
this
voting
method,
and
if
I
can
see
that
it
the
advantages
of
this
or
it
really
is,
as
you
said,
vote
for
as
many
as
you
like.
You
know,
if
you
like.
All
of
us
then
vote
for
us
all,
but
I
think
what
what
happens?
Is
you
tell
your
your
friends?
Well
hey.
F
This
is
the
way
it
works,
so
vote
for
me.
Don't
vote
for
anybody
else.
You
know
if
you
really
want
me
in
power,
so
that
has
happened
in
san
bruno
because
you
were
previously.
You
were
allowed
to
open
two
council
members
across
the
whole
election.
So
thank
you
very
much.
This
is
very
interesting.
I
love
the
data
part
of
it
and
it,
and
it
seems
like
it's
other
than
the
change
that
most
people
have
the
fear
of
change
and
just
people
are
used
to
doing.
E
Things
a
certain
way
and
it's
a
little
confusing,
but
I
think
we
could
overcome
that,
and
I
do
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you
very
much.
If
I
may
respond
to
the
question
about
about
about
vote
for
one
the.
I
think
this
is
something
that
we
hear
a
lot
from
from
rancho
sporting
advocates
about
like
well
what
people
just
vote
for
one
candidate
and
so
first
off.
Let's
talk
about
in
plurality,
voting
in
plurality
voting.
You
have
a
very
strong
incentive
to
not
vote
your
honest
favorite.
E
Instead,
you
vote
for
your
you
vote
for
the
candidate.
You
think,
has
the
most
charge,
winning
or
beating
the
person
that
you
hate
you
vote
for
the
lesser
evil
under
approval
voting.
If
you
vote
for
just
one
person,
you
will
always
be
voting
your
favor.
There
is
no
reason
not
for
you
for
you
to
be
doing
that
and
just
in
the
same
in
ranked
choice
voting.
E
If
you
like,
only
one
candidate,
you
can
rank
them
first
and
and
rank
other
people
after
that,
but
your
ballot
may
be
exhausted
when,
when
you
do
that,
so
you
know
it's
it's
okay
for
candidates
to
say
you
know,
hey
just
vote
for
me.
That
doesn't
mean
that
that
that
voters
will
comply
with
that,
because
you
know
it's
perfectly
reasonable
for
someone
to
say,
like
oh
well,
just
vote
for
me
and
then,
if
the
other
person
says
you
know
like
well
just
vote
for
me.
E
Well,
you
might
be
a
better
candidate
and
better
a
better
leader
in
being
able
to
do
that
and
to
be
better
being
able
to
build
coalitions,
and
you
have
a
way
of
like
saying
you
know
attracting
votes
from
that
other
candidates,
that
from
consistent
constituency,
because
you
say
like
hey,
we
share
the
same
ideas
like
let's
agree
on
this,
so
there
are
advantages
for
for
trying
to
build
coalitions
and
there
there's
like
if
I
would
never
consider
voting
for
one
candidate,
a
failure.
A
Thank
you
vice
mayor
mason,.
G
Hey
felix,
I
wanted
to
ask
whether
so
so
far
the
the
city
is
moving,
obviously
towards
districting
can
can
this
complement,
districting
and
meaning
they
can
be
occurring
currently
and
then.
My
second
question
is:
if
they
can,
is
there
concerns
that
by
districting
you're
going
to
have
less
candidates.
E
So
it
it
works
incredibly
well
with
districting
in
districting
you're
voting
for
you're
going
to
be
electing
a
single
winner
per
district,
and
you
know
if
you're,
if
you're
going
to
be
doing
that
approval
voting,
will
elect
the
the
candidate
with
the
most
votes.
The
question
of
how
many
candidates
are
there
per
district
is
more
about
districting
than
it
is
about
either
rangers
voting
or
approval
voting.
I
would
assume
under
approval,
voting
or
righteous
voting.
E
You
would
have
the
same
number
of
candidates
who
would
choose
to
run
that's
largely
a
factor
of
the
population.
You
know
the
empowerment,
the
you
know,
political
conversation
and
and
the
support
that
people
have.
G
I
think
more
specifically
in
a
city
our
size,
I
think
the
last
election
and
correct
me,
those
of
you
who
were
part
of
it.
I
think
they
had
four
or
five
candidates
for
two
seats,
and
so,
if
we
only
get,
let's
say
two
candidates,
because
now,
when
they're
districting
those
candidates
would
all
be
split
up
and
you
wouldn't
have
four
candidates,
you
only
have
two
candidates.
E
So
if,
if
it's
a
two-candidate
race,
then
approval
voting,
rank-choice
voting
and
morality
voting
will
work
the
same.
If
there's
only
two
candidates
there's
no
chance
of
a
spoiler
effect,
because
you
know
the
the
person
with
the
most
votes
will
will
win.
So
that's
not
really
a
scenario
that
any
voting
that
is
is
attempting
to
fix,
because
you
know
when
that
scenario
happens,
it's
they're
not
really
a
failure.
E
I
think
I
think
the
bigger
failure
is
more
on
the
lines
of
like
why
aren't
more
people
running,
and
you
know,
making
sure
that
ballot
access
is
is
easy,
is
very
important.
It's
one
of
the
reasons
that
we're
running
a
campaign
right
now
in
seattle,
which
has
democracy
dollars,
which
is
every
candidate
or
every
voter,
has
a
hundred
dollars.
They
can
give
to
any
candidate,
which
means
that
incentivizes
incentivizes
a
ton
of
candidates
to
run
for
any
district
in
seattle.
E
There
have
been
races
where
there
have
been
20
different,
different
candidates
running
for
that
for
that
position,
and
we,
you
see
incredible
amounts
of
votes
splitting
when
there
are
that
many
candidates
who
are
all
running
at
the
same
time
under
approval
voting.
You
can
encourage
as
many
candidates
as
you
like,
to
run,
but
still
get
a
very
good
signal
at
the
end
of
the
race.
G
G
There
was
a
lot
of
effort
placed
on
the
media
to
make
sure
people
understood
how
it
worked,
and
so
I
guess
what
what
is
the
recommendation
to
you
know
have
public
engagement
on
the
different
writing
methods,
because
I
find
that
a
lot
of
the
public
don't
know
that
there
are
other
options
out
there.
It's
just
always
been
done
this
way.
E
Yeah,
absolutely
I
I
you
know,
voter
engagement,
voter
education
is
an
incredibly
important
part
of
that
I
used
to
live
in
new
york
and
I
remember
the
first
time
I
voted
and
I
got
a
pamphlet
which
had
no
information
about
any
of
the
candidates
on
it.
I
you
know
we're
very
spoiled
in
in
california,
with
these
nice
thick
books
about
you
know
various
different
candidates
running.
You
know,
people
doing
responses
and
rebuttals
to
various
different
measures.
E
So
I
think
that
the
the
voter
education
component
is
incredibly
important,
but
it's
something
that
california
already
does
very
very
well.
Our
organization
is,
is
here
to
be
incredibly
supportive
of
any
campaign
that
is
done.
We
will
we'd
be
happy
to
fund
the
education
methods
for
the
city
in
order
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
what
approval
voting
is.
E
This
is
literally
why
our
organization
exists
and,
and
is
the
one
of
the
most
effective
ways
for
us
to
be
able
to
you
know,
grow
as
an
organization
and
to
have
people
use
it.
So
it's
in
our
strong
interest
to
make
sure
it's
successful
as
possible.
E
On
top
of
that,
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
I
keep
hearing,
especially
in
san
francisco,
where
we
use
ranked
choice
voting,
is
how
complicated
ranked
choice
voting
is,
despite
voter
outreach
method
talks,
despite
voter
ballot
guides,
the
the
registrar
of
voters
in
san
francisco
is
really
really
excellent
and
has
been
an
incredible
resource
to
me.
As
I've
been
doing.
You
know
the
work
that
I've
been
doing
and
have
been
giving
talks
on
how
to
use
ranked
choice.
E
Voting,
but
fundamentally
there
are
always
communities
that
is
difficult
to
reach,
and
you
know
when,
when
putting
boxes,
you
know
when,
when,
when
filling
out
the
ballot
of
one
two
three,
what
happens
when
you're?
You
know
you
do
an
overvote
people
run
into
that
problem,
and
that's
why
approval
voting
is
so
incredibly
useful
and
empowering
is
that
it
is.
E
You
know
almost
impossible
to
to
to
get
wrong
so
that
your
ballot
is
no
longer
valid
and
also
it's
it's
very
simple
to
describe
because
people,
you
know
it's
like

Item
number
four
public
comments
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
We
are
going
to
begin
members
public
we'll
have
up
to
three
minutes.
It
is
council
policies
to
refer
matters
raised
in
this
form.
The
staff
are
investigating
our
actions
where
appropriate
brown
apps
exhibits
the
council
from
discussing
or
acting
upon
items
and
agendas.
Pursuant
to
state
law.
We
do
have
a
710
public
hearing.
B
F
F
C
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much
enjoying
next
speaker.
Please.
B
B
The
second
thing
I
have
is,
I
know
that
they're
starting
to
pave
the
area
and
and
strike
the
area
of
the
senior
center
and
we've
been
told
that
we
can
park
below.
I
don't
know
if
the
council
has
thought
about
a
tram
that
would
come
from
the
parking
below
to
bring
you
up
to
the
doors
of
the
senior
center,
and
maybe
you
could
have
times
so
that
people
would
know
when
they
can
park
and
when
it
they
could.
B
The
third
area
I
have
is
you
know:
volunteers
are
run
the
center
basically
and
they
are
the
diamonds
of
the
whole
community,
but
there
is
a
woman
there
who
has.
I
have
heard
her
on
a
number
of
occasions,
speaking
to
volunteers,
I
believe
she's,
the
supervisor
or
the
superintendent,
I'm
not
positive,
but
she
has
just
yelling
disrespectful
inappropriate,
and
it
is
very
very
sad
because
we
want
to
keep
our
volunteers.
B
They
don't
have
to
be
there
if
they
don't
want
to.
On
a
second
thought,
with
the
same
person,
she
spoke
on
stage
to
the
group
about
the
the
paving
people
were
talking,
the
audience
and
she
said,
shut
up,
just
shut
up,
which
I
thought
that
is
inappropriate
disrespectful
and
it's
also
elder
abuse,
and
I
would
hope
that
you
would
look
into
it.
Maybe
we
could
contact
aging
and
adult
services
to
bring
in
some
classes
or
something
for
her,
so
she
could
interact
with
people
on
a
more
pleasant
basis.
A
Thank
you
for
for
your
comments
and
your
time
as
well.
Next
speaker,
please.
D
F
D
D
F
F
E
F
F
F
A
Okay,
thank
you
with
that
we're
going
to
move
into
our
public
hearing,
which
is
to
begin
at
7
10,
but
we
are,
I
then
close
and
as
we
read
it
and
get
prepared,
I
think
we
will
be
making
that
time
on
time
that
we
have
in
the
past.
This
is
under
public
hearings.
Item
a
hold.
The
sixth
public
hearing
waive
the
second
reading,
an
adopted
ordinance
to
adopt
a
district
map
and
amend
municipal
code
chapter
2.32.010.
A
A
A
I
know
for
members
of
the
public
that
have
not
attended
our
other
public
hearings.
There
may
be
a
question
of
why
we
are
waiting.
We
are
waiting
because
state
law
mandates
that
these
public
hearings
begin
at
a
time,
certain
that
is
on
the
posted
agenda,
and
so
that's
7
10.
A
Thank
you
for
that
explanation.
There's
a
state
as
the
manager
indicated
and
we
have
been
very
good
and
have
had
all
those
hearings
starting
properly
at
7
10.
So
we
will
do
just
that
and
we
have
just
a
little
bit
on
the
nasa
council
just
and
staff
and
our
presenters
please
stand
by
as
we
begin
right
at
17.
A
I'm
showing
the
hour
of
7
10
unless
my
clock
is
fast
or
slow,
and
so
with
that
I
would
ask
if
we
can
begin.
I
You
good
evening
my
name
is
kristen
parks
with
national
demographics
corporation,
and
I
am
going
to
be
driving
the
slide
deck
this
evening.
I'm
also
joined
by
jennifer
netwig
from
tri
pepe
smith,
so
council,
you
have
seen
a
lot
of
this
before,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who's
joining
us
from
the
public
this
evening
gets
a
little
bit
of
the
background
to
understand
why
the
city
of
san
bruno
is
transitioning
to
district-based
elections.
I
So
I'm
going
to
start
by
giving
a
quick
background
so
currently
in
the
city
of
san
bruno,
both
the
mayor
and
the
council
members
are
elected
at
large.
What
that
means
is
that
every
voter
in
the
city
has
the
opportunity
to
elect
the
mayor
and
every
council.
Member
now
there
is
a
state
law
called
california
voting
rights
act
that
encourages
cities
to
switch
from
at
large
elections
to
buy
district
elections
in
a
by-district
election
system.
I
Voters
will
continue
to
be
able
to
elect
the
mayor
every
voter
in
the
city,
but
each
district
will
elect
one
council,
member
and
only
voters
within
that
district
will
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
for
their
one
council.
Member
in
2020.
The
city
of
san
bruno
proactively
made
the
decision
to
make
the
transition
to
by
district
elections,
and
this
decision
was
made
in
the
context
of
several
other
cities
around
the
state
and
the
county
being
faced
with
lawsuits
that
were
forcing
the
change
to
buy
district
elections.
I
I
So
in
order
to
change
either
the
number
of
council
members
or
the
direct
election
of
the
mayor,
voter
approval
is
required,
and
that
is
because
of
a
proposition
from
the
1970s
that
put
that
governing
structure
in
place
for
san
bruno.
I
So
we
have
held
five
public
hearings.
This
evening
is
the
sixth
and
the
city
has
gone
above
and
beyond,
because
only
four
public
hearings
are
required
or
five
public
hearings
are
required
by
law.
I
J
Awesome,
thank
you
kristen
and,
as
has
been
mentioned,
my
name
is
jen
mentwig.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
again
this
evening
and
share
another
update
with
you
at
this
sixth
public
hearing.
As
kristin
mentioned,
I'm
with
your
philly
smith,
the
outreach
and
engagement
firm
that
has
really
been
supporting
the
city
and
your
communications
about
this
important
effort.
J
So
we
can
move
right
along
to
the
next
slide
and
one
more
so
in
the
next
few
slides.
You
see
the
various
types
of
media
that
we
have
employed
as
part
of
these
outreach
engagement
efforts,
but
I
want
to
highlight
that
it's
been
through
a
variety
of
media
and
a
variety
of
languages
and,
as
kristin
mentioned,
this
city
really
has
gone
above
and
beyond.
J
We've
also
worked
with
a
city
to
communicate
in
various
languages,
including
spanish,
as
well
as
chinese,
traditional
materials
or
translated
materials
and
or
interpreters
have
been
provided
for
outreach
elements
such
as
the
website
social
media
flyers,
the
citywide
mailer
that
I'll
describe
on
a
following
slide,
as
well
as
the
virtual
community
workshop,
and
I
won't
read
through
all
of
these
items
in
this
slide
that
describes
the
digital
outreach.
J
So,
in
addition
to
the
digital
outreach
I
described,
we
have
of
course
help
the
city
distribute
print
material,
and
this
is
for
folks
who
may
not
necessarily
spend
a
lot
of
time.
Online
may
not
feel
comfortable
getting
their
information
electronically.
We
still
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
outreach
to
those
folks,
so
there
have
been
flyers
distributed
throughout
the
process.
J
Your
required
public
notices,
press
releases
sent
to
print
media,
including
those
that
have
been
picked
up
by
the
daily
journal
a
couple
of
times
and
then
an
important
area
to
highlight
is
a
citywide
mailer,
and
that's
what
you
see
here
on
this
slide.
It
was
distributed
to
all
postal
customers
across
the
city
in
february
to
notify
them
of
the
process
and
to
really
encourage
people
to
take
a
look
at
draft
maps
and
provide
their
feedback,
and
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
slide.
J
In
addition
to
digital
and
print
outreach,
we've
also
had
some
in-person
opportunities
for
people
to
get
information,
and
that
has
included
the
two
workouts
that
we've
talked
about
a
kiosk
in
the
tanforan
mall
various
engagements
at
city
associations
and
a
marquee
that
you
can
see
there
on
the
slide
at
el
caminovial
and
san
mateo
ave,
really
just
letting
people
know
about
the
process
and
including
that
url.
J
So
we
can
move
on
to
the
net
guide
as
we
are
here
in
this
process.
We
do
want
to
encourage
people
to
continue
to
engage.
As
I
mentioned,
that
website
remains
up
it's
a
great
resource
for
information.
If
anyone
is
curious
and
wanting
to
learn
more
and
then
you
can,
of
course,
always
contact
the
districting
team
via
that
phone
number
and
the
email
address
listed
there,
and
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
back
over
to
kristen
parks
to
continue
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
I
Thanks
jen
all
right,
so
this
is
the
third
and
final
part
of
our
presentation.
I
am
going
to
show
you
the
maps
selected
by
council
describe
which
districts
will
be
holding
elections
in
2022,
which
will
be
holding
elections
in
2024
and
also
review
the
legal
requirements
that
the
map
is
required
to
comply
with.
I
So
first
we
have
federal
law
and
from
the
federal
government
we
have
three
requirements
for
our
district
maps.
First
is
that
districts
are
equal
population
and
it
doesn't
mean
exactly
equal.
There
is
a
permissible
total
deviation,
which
is
the
difference
in
population
size
from
the
largest
district
to
the
smallest
district,
so
up
to
10
percent
is
permitted.
I
First,
all
districts
must
be
second,
and
this
is
the
area
where
a
lot
of
discussion
occurs
and
has
occurred
throughout
this
process,
with
with
members
of
the
public
is
to
draw
districts
that
minimize
the
division
of
neighborhoods
and
communities
of
interest
within
the
city.
I
That
is
the
goal
to
minimize
the
division.
Third,
to
create
easily
identifiable
boundaries
and
fourth
to
maintain
compactness
compactness
is
something
you
can
often
see
by
looking
at
the
shape
of
a
district.
I
You
want
to
make
sure
that
that
district
doesn't
look
like
it's
avoiding
taking
in
a
certain
area
and
going
farther
away
to
take
in
another
area.
So
these
are
all
things
to
keep
in
mind
that
we
have
been
talking
about,
as
we
have
reviewed
all
of
the
maps
that
that
have
been
submitted
throughout
this
process,
of
which
there
were
many,
so
30
maps
were
submitted
by
members
of
the
public.
I
This
is
not
necessarily
30
different
individuals,
but
some
individuals
submitted
multiple
maths
and
of
these
30
public
maps.
16
of
them
met
the
two
most
basic
requirements:
the
federal
population,
equality
requirement
and
the
contiguity
requirement
under
state
law.
I
So
of
those
public
maps
a
little
more
than
half
were
legally
compliant
at
the
baseline,
and
then
your
consultant
team
just
added
three
additional
maps
to
the
mix,
just
to
make
sure
that
all
kinds
of
different
options
were
on
the
table
and
as
those
who've
been
following,
this
process
know
at
the
last
public
hearing
couple
identified,
their
preferred
math
and
this
map
was
drawn
and
submitted
by
a
member
of
the
public
anonymously,
and
this
map
is
public
map
104,
and
you
can
see
here
on
the
screen
that
the
four
districts
here
follow
major
roads
as
boundaries.
I
There,
on
the
other
side
of
tanforan
council,
also
selected
an
election
sequence
for
this
map,
meaning
that
for
the
2022
election,
which
is
happening
on
november,
8th
districts,
1
and
4
will
hold
elections.
I
I
Again,
no
current
members
of
council
have
any
changes
to
their
terms
as
a
result
of
this
transition
and
council
members
remain
at
large
until
they
are
elected
in
a
by-district
election.
So
you
can
think
of
this
as
a
rollout
of
the
by
district
system.
So
the
first
two
districts
that
will
hold
by
district
elections
do
that
this
year
and
then
the
remaining
two
in
2024..
I
So
well,
you
see
on
the
screen
very
clearly
the
boundary
lines.
I
also
want
to
show
you
a
little
bit
of
the
demographics
here.
I
You
can
see
the
racial
and
ethnic
breakdown
and
you
can
also
see
the
the
breakdown
of
citizens
by
voting
age,
and
so
it's
worth
pointing
out
in
this
particular
map
that
district
4
is
the
majority
hispanic
or
latino
district
by
total
population.
I
But
when
you
look
at
citizen
voting
age
population,
it's
40
percent,
hispanic
or
latino,
what
that
means
to
me
is
very
likely
in
10
years
that
could
be
a
majority
of
latino
or
hispanic
district
by
citizen
voting
age
population
as
well,
and
then
also
pointing
out
that
district
one.
While
it's
not
a
majority
asian-american
district
by
population,
every
seven
percent,
it's
again
very
close
and
perhaps
in
ten
years,
will
be,
and
the
citizen
voting
age
population
for
district
1
is
45
asian
pacific
islander.
So
these
are
some
of
the
stats
here.
I
You
can
also
see
the
language,
education,
housing
staff
and
there's
even
more
statistics
on
the
website.
If
you
pull
up
the
demographic
report,
so
with
that,
we
will
conclude
our
presentation,
encourage
all
members
of
public
again
to
visit
districting
san
bruno
dot
org.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
at
this
time
I'll,
ask
colleagues
if
they
have
any
questions
on
the
presentation,
then
we
will
go
to
the
public
for
the
public
hearing,
bring
back
to
city
council
for
further
discussion
and
or
action.
Apparently
any
questions
on
the
presentation
at
the
time.
A
City
manager
where's
the
attorney.
C
I
think
the
city
manager
is
coming
on
and
hopefully
can
explain,
yeah
see,
amanda,
yes
april.
6
was
a
tentative
date
for
the
second
reading
if
we
elongated
the
process,
and
so
there
at
this
point
is
not
a
april
sixth
meeting
scheduled
for
the
for
the
the
second
reading.
The
first
reading
was
at
the
last
city
council
meeting,
and
this
is
the
second
reading.
So
this
would
be
the
conclusion
of
the
process
in
confirming
the
selection
of
math
104.
C
With
regard
to
ballot
measures
and
then
I
believe
as
a
part
of
that
action
that
is
scheduled
for
july
12th
in
the
materials
that
the
council
authorizes
us
to
send
to
the
county
for
the
vote,
we
will
formally
inform
the
county
of
of
the
map
and
the
districts
that
will
be
on
the
november
22
ballot.
A
B
Hi,
whenever
you're
ready
all
right.
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council.
I
did
have
a
question
and
needed
clarification
in
regards
to
the
new
district
voting.
Is
there
a
minimum
requirement
of
votes
that
a
candidate
must
receive
before
being
elected
to
city
council
in
this
new
districting
process,
for
instance,
if
there
is
just
one
candidate
for
a
particular
district
and
voters,
don't
care
for
this
candidate
and
they
don't
vote
for
this
candidate?
B
B
A
I
tried
no,
but
no
thank
you
for
pausing
just
to
make
sure.
Okay
with
that
said,
we're
going
to
bring
it
back
to
council,
but
at
this
time
I
would
ask
for
action
from
council
so
that
we
do
officially
close
a
public
hearing
and
at
this
point
would
come
back
and
stay
with
council.
So
do
I
have
action
on
the
closing
of
the
public
hearing?
Please.
A
Thank
you
and
now
we'll
bring
it
back
to
the
council
for
further
discussion,
questions
or
comments.
F
This
is
probably
a
good
time
to
answer
the
question
that
was
asked
in
the
comments.
A
That
would
be
fine.
I
would
do
just
that.
Absolutely
no
problem.
We
did
have
a
question
and
that
I
think
we
know
the
answer,
but
let's
let's
go
to
our
folks
that
have
seen
us
through
the
process.
Ms
parks,
the
question
was
again:
let's
say
you
had
a
district
and
there
was
one
person
running
and
is
there
a
percentile
that
that
person
must
receive
in
order
to.
I
No
to
my
knowledge,
there's
not,
we
usually
see
more
than
one
person
running,
however,
in
each
district,
particularly
because
one
of
the
things
that
district
based
elections
do
is
reduce
the
cost
of
running
for
city
council.
So
we
often
see
more
than
one
candidate,
you
know,
and
if
there
were
no
candidates
run
in
the
election.
Of
course,
the
the
council
could
appoint
a
accountable
number
to
fill
that
vacancy.
So
thank
you
for
the
question.
A
And
then,
if
I
may,
because
I
see
he's
ready
our
city
attorney.
C
Only
to
clarify
just
to
make
it
crystal
clear,
there
is
no
such
requirement
of
any
threshold
number
of
votes
that
any
candidate
receives
regardless
of
the
number
of
candidates.
The
only
rule
is
under
our
current
voting
methodology
that
the
candidate
with
the
most
votes
wins,
and
that
can
be
one
vote
or
it
could
be
10
000
votes.
A
Thank
you
appreciate
that
now
again
back
to
council
for
other
comments,
thoughts,
et
cetera
vice
mayor
mason,.
G
Thank
you.
I
have
some
written
comments,
so
prepare
yourselves,
because
it's
a
little
bit
long,
so
I
received
an
email
after
one
of
our
last
public
meetings
asking
why
I
have
been
so
quiet
in
the
recent
council
meetings.
Regarding
my
thoughts
on
districting
in
maths,
in
particular,
the
member
of
the
public
stated
that
they
felt
the
public
deserve
to
know
what
those
thoughts
were.
G
This
particular
trajectory
since
the
beginning,
because
people
have
lives
outside
of
the
council
and
just
because
we
are
supposed
to
be
here,
doesn't
mean
that
members
of
the
public
are
at
every
meeting.
So
I
wanted
to
be
sure
to
provide
some
context
and
some
comments
at
this
meeting.
Regarding
my
thoughts
on
districting.
G
G
G
G
There
was
an
item
entitled
receiving
report
and
confirmed
date
of
transition
to
a
by-district
method
of
city
elections,
consider
adopting
a
resolution
appropriating
forty
five
thousand
dollars
from
general
fund
balance
and
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
national
demographics
corporation
for
districting
services,
the
council
decided
to
move
forward
with
the
route
of
districting
after
the
census.
Count
was
provided
it's
worth
noting
that
districting
was
not
an
area
that
the
council
had
identified
as
a
priority.
G
The
council,
originally
by
consensus,
vote
and
again
by
consensus
vote,
received
a
provided
direction
to
move
forward
and
since
that
initial
vote,
I
have
been
opposed
to
moving
forward
with
districting
and,
as
of
today,
I
have
not
been
swayed
that
districting
is
the
path
for
our
city,
and
here
are
the
reasons
why
number
one
there
are.
No
alternatives
have
been
presented
at
the
onset
of
my
at
the
onset.
G
G
G
The
council
has
provided
the
opportunity
to
learn
more
about
this
and
other
options
two
years
ago,
but
decided
to
move
forward
restricting
anyway.
So,
first
and
foremost,
we
have
not
been
provided
with
alternatives,
regardless
of
whether
those
options
are
viable.
High
risk
have
been
used
or
not.
The
decision
is
ultimately
the
councils
to
make.
I
stated
this
in
the
beginning
of
the
process
and
continue
to
raise
this
as
a
concern
tonight
to
threat
of
litigation.
I
have
been
asked
by
residents
whether
threat
of
litigation
is
true
and
we
are
being
forced
to
move
to
districting.
G
G
Imagine
if
councilmember
salazar
is
the
district
representative
in
mills
park
and
is
recused
from
transit
corridor
decisions
such
as
mills
park,
the
largest
development
to
impact
mills
park
likely
since
mills
park
was
built
or
mayor
medina
is
recused
from
bay
hill
pacific
plan
that
will
impact
the
entire
city
of
san
bruno
by
its
footprint
population,
economics
and
imagine
if
council,
member
medina
marty
medina
to
differentiate
was
the
district
representative
to
downtown
making
decisions
for
businesses
when
the
owners
do
not
vote,
they
don't
live
in
san
bernardino.
These
are
all
real
situations.
G
These
are
real
issues
that
are
currently
before
us
or
have
come
before
us
and
these
refusals
are
real.
So
what
happens
when
the
person
intended
to
represent
you
cannot
and
the
other
four
candidates
support
an
action
that
may
and
will
greatly
impact
your
neighborhood
and
not
theirs
under
districting.
Nothing!
What's
the
impact
and
what
effort
do
voters
need
to
put
to
remove
council
members
that
have
made
decisions
that
greatly
impact
their
neighborhoods
in
ways
that
they
do
not
support?
G
In
fact,
any
decision
made
requires
three
votes
at
a
minimum.
This
means
that
decisions
that
greatly
impact
a
district
would
not
result
or
impact
council
members,
not
in
their
district,
absent
voters
in
neighboring
districts
and
in
their
own
districts,
uniting
going
out
of
their
way
and
potentially
unseating
three
neighboring
districts
in
order
to
make
a
stand
on
issues
that
they
do
not
agree
with,
that
impact
their
backyards.
G
This
is
highly
unlikely
to
occur.
Allowing
council
members
make
decisions
outside
of
their
districts
with
very
little
fear
of
being
voted
out.
Number
four,
not
holistic.
The
city
has
not
made
a
decision
yet
on
whether
to
place
rotational
mayor
on
the
ballot,
nor
has
a
decision
been
made
by
the
public
on
whether
to
accept
it
or
not.
G
Both
belmont
and
santeria
are
much
greater
in
population
than
san
bruno
at
issue.
Here
you
have
an
at-large
mayor
that
all
devoted
at
large
has
to
live
in
one
of
the
established
four
districts.
That
means
that
one
district
will
have
a
district
council
member
and
then
that
large
mayor
with
an
equal
weight
of
the
vote.
This
means
a
single
district
will
have
40
percent
representation
of
the
vote
on
any
given
item.
G
G
Once
we
have
an
answer
to
the
rotational
mayor
issue,
the
decision
is
not
taking
into
account
the
possible
outcome
by
the
public
and,
as
a
result,
the
public
end
up
paying
twice
for
this
process
greatly
exceeding
the
thirty
thousand
dollar
price
tag
often
mentioned
under
this
threat
of
letter
that
we
never
received
and
clearly
exceeding
the
hundred
thousand
dollar
price
tag.
We
have
already
spent
number
five
city
divide.
G
We
have
heard
that
we
don't
want
to
divide
our
neighborhoods
but
are
further
dividing
them
by
freeways,
as
if
freeways
and
divides
don't
already
create
their
own
socioeconomic
divides
by
their
soul,
nature
in
inclusion.
The
public
is
closely
following
the
city
of
santa
monica,
a
case
where
the
city
has
fought
the
cvra
lawsuit
they
were
actually
sued
and
so
far
have
successfully
defended
the
cvra.
G
Time
will
tell
in
which
direction
the
supreme
court
goes,
but
worth
mentioning
is
that
the
league
of
california
cities
that
represents
476
california,
cities
filed
a
brief
to
the
with
the
court,
and
I
would
simply
state
a
letter
of
support
supporting
the
city
of
saint
monica
and
while
we
await
our
findings,
while
we
await
the
supreme
court's
findings,
we
are
continuing
to
move
forward
without
knowledge
of
whether
this
is
really
required
by
our
city,
placing
our
constituents
and
voters
in
the
middle.
It
is
well
worth
acknowledging
that
is
long
overdue.
G
There
are
other
methods
we
heard
tonight
that
can
increase
representation,
including
initiatives.
We
will
be
reviewing,
such
as
campaign
contribution
limits
that
would
limit
how
much
can
be
contributed
to
candidates
term
limits,
limiting
the
amount
of
time
that
candidates
can
run
for
four
and
two-year
terms,
allowing
others
an
opportunity
to
run
rotational
mayor,
providing
equal
representation
to
each
district
and
different
methods
of
voting.
G
As
I
have
reflected
on
this
change,
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
and
thank
the
staff
for
the
outreach
to
the
community
member
of
the
public
who
have
engaged
in
the
process
and
my
fellow
council
members
for
the
thought
placed
on
this
item
tonight.
The
irony
of
all
this
was
really
a
last
meeting,
we're
in
the
council
on
a
consensus,
vote
supported
districting
and
an
election
cycle
affecting
this
next
election.
G
G
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
item
tonight,
have
not
supported
this
item
from
the
onset
and
thank
all
members
of
the
public
for
their
participation.
I
acknowledge
and
understand
the
validity
of
why
districts
offer
an
alternative
to
at
large
elections
that
may
provide
additional
opportunities
to
those
that
may
not
otherwise
run
for
office.
I
also
believe
strongly
that
representation
is
important.
G
A
Thank
you
for
your
comments,
other
comments
or
feedback
from
colleagues
on
this
item
for
staff
or
the
presenters.
C
So
my
my
comment
in
light
of
the
previous
speaker,
it
seems
my
comment
is
very
trivial,
but
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
vice
mayor,
her
comments.
I
know
she
has
given
this
a
lot
of
thought
and
initial
go
around.
I
didn't
support
the
districts
either,
but
you
know
it's.
The
majority
of
the
council
voted
at
the
time
to
move
forward,
and
so
we
are
where
we
are
right
now.
C
My
only
question
at
this
point
was
regarding
the
public
map
104
the
way
it's
drawn
out
and
the
way
the
description
is
written.
C
I
Yeah,
if
I
may
absolutely
nbc,
does
its
final
technical
review
of
the
map
once
once
it's
been
approved
and
we
can
make
any
of
these
small
changes
that
do
not
affect
population.
I
What
happens
sometimes,
when
a
member
of
the
public
is
creating
a
map,
is
they
may
not
be
paying
attention
to?
You
know
one
side
of
the
freeway
versus
another
right,
because
it's
a
sort
of
non-non-material
issue,
so,
yes,
we
can
make
that
change.
Thank
you.
F
All
of
which
are
true
and
the
irony
of
the
the
vote
at
the
last
meeting
was
not
lost.
That
was
the
the
first
comment
that
I
made
to
my
wife
after
we
adjourned.
Is
that
that
the
four
men
on
council
voted
that
the
one
woman
can't
run
again
on
international
women's
day
and
that's
horrible.
F
F
We
received
two
presentations
earlier
today.
There
was
only
a
few
members
of
the
public
in
attendance,
a
special
meeting
at
five
o'clock
looking
at
alternative
voting
methods,
and
the
vice
mayor
is
absolutely
correct
that
this
is
the
first
time
we've
really
seen
any
detail
of
any
other
options.
F
If
we
were
to
pause
and
choose
to
not
move
ahead
for
2022,
the
effort
that's
been
done
until
now,
wouldn't
necessarily
be
lost,
because
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
we
learned
if
we
were,
for
example,
to
go
to
a
proportional
rank
choice,
voting
system
that
we
could
use
public
map
104
as
its
basis
and
divide
the
city
into
two
districts
would
be
one
and
two
and
then
three
and
four
as
two
districts
and
move
forward
with
that.
F
F
So
I
guess
what
it
comes
down
to
is
the
you
know
the
decision
that
put
us
on
this
path.
That
was
that
decision
was
me
before
I
joined.
I
wasn't
part
of
that,
and
you
know
the
decision
was
was
made
that
we
needed
to
move
to,
and
you
know
that
that
resolution
said
that
we
would
move
to
district
elections
by
2022.
F
F
Given
what
we
learned
earlier
tonight
and
given
that
it
certainly
would
make
sense
to
see
what
the
what
the
landscape
is
before
we
move
ahead
and
also
considering
that
we
would
potentially
be
moving
from
one
voting
system
that
we
have
today,
which
is
which
is
in
the
majority
of
the
majority,
vote
two
district
elections
and
then,
potentially,
if
the
city
charter
is
passed
and
that
charter
includes
proportional
representation,
we
would
change
it
again,
and
that
would
be
three
consecutive
elections
with
three
different
voting
methods.
F
And
I
think
that
that's
a
heck
of
a
lot
of
change.
So,
given
all
of
this,
I'm
supportive
of
pausing
on
moving
ahead
with
districting,
taking
what
we're
taking
all
the
work
that
we've
done
and
just
putting
it
to
one
side
for
now.
We're
not
throwing
it
away
and
moving
ahead
with
these
other
other
options,
so
that
and
we
can
make
an
informed
decision
and
have
moved
to
whatever
final
landscape.
This
is
going
to
look
like
in
2024.
F
Thank
you
very
much
and
salazar,
and
vice
mayor
mason,
for
your
comments
for
those
that
didn't
watch
this
this
from
the
last
meeting.
This
was
a
very
difficult
decision
for
us,
but
I
believe
it
was
necessary
in
2020
or
when
we
were
trying
to
figure
out
to
try
to
do
it
in
2020.
F
If
we
go
ahead
and
put
it
say
that
we're
going
to
go
to
district
elections
in
2022,
using
the
data
from
2020,
we
buy
ourselves
some
time
to
figure
out
what
we
want
to
do
so
then
we
move
along
and
we
were
looking
at
the
rotational
layer
and
the
need
to
put
that
on
the
ballot
having
a
special
election.
I
believe
we
heard
from
staff
that
it
was
very
expensive
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
have
a
special
election
and
there
was
no
interest-
and
I
wasn't
supporting
that.
F
So
we
continue
moving
forward
with
this
and
we
talked
about
going
to
five
districts
and
found
out
that,
a
little
later
than
we
would
prefer
that
that
would
that
would
have
rushed
our
process
instead
of
from
before
what
the
public
understood
to
adding
it
to
five.
In
the
event
that,
in
this
upcoming
election
in
2022
that
the
public
decided
hey,
we
do
want
rotational
matter.
F
The
other
thing
that's
necessary
to
move
forward
with
an
alternative
voting
method
which
we
were
told
prior
to
our
decisions.
But
we
had
a
presentation
on
the
a
full
study
session
this
evening
on.
It
was
that,
in
order
to
do
that,
we
needed
to
have
that
we
have
become
a
charter
city
become
a
charter
city
that
has
to
be
on
an
election,
and
we
we're
talking
about
putting
that
on
2022..
F
So
here
we
are.
I
will
acknowledge
the
irony
in
in
the
vote
on
that
day,
but
I
can
absolutely
guarantee
everyone
here.
F
The
my
vote
was
for
what
was
reasonable
moving
forward
with
the
with
with
the
situation
that
the
council
was
facing,
that
as
other
councils
and
other
cities
had
to
do
just
by
chance
or
by
the
left
of
the
draw
that
council
members
live
together
and
trying
to
draw
a
line
between
council
members.
So
they
don't
so
they
are
not
in
the
same
district
is
absolutely
contrary
to
what
the
whole
point
of
what
districting
is.
F
So
we
can
respectfully
disagree
on
whether
or
not
districting
is
important,
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
wait
for
better,
but
other
neighboring
cities
have
received
that
letter
and
the
reason
why
we
didn't
receive
a
letter
is
because
we
said
in
2020
that
we're
going
to
take
care
of
it
in
2022
and
the
city
attorney.
I
think
if
we
could
help
out
well
we're
never
going
to
know.
F
So
I'm
interested
in
in
what
our
city
attorney
would
have
to
say
about
councilman,
hamilton's,
suggestion
or
preference
that
we
pause
for
me.
That
would
seem
like
that
would
be
a
red
flag
that
okay
they're
not
going
to
do
what
they
said
they
were
going
to
do
in
2022,
and
what
we
also
know
from
going
through
this
process
is
that
enrolling.
The
district
one
there
is
their
demographics
are
that
there
is
no
council
person
of
asian
descent
that
that
is
on
the
council
and,
I
think
that's
a
red
flag
like
that
would
be.
F
F
F
We
are
moving
forward
with
different
collect.
We
are
moving
forward
with
putting
the
charter
city
on
the
ballot,
at
least
that's
where
we're
leading
to,
and
we're
going
to
be
talking
about.
I
guess
at
the
next
council
meeting,
so
I'm
interested
in
hearing
some
more
about
councilman,
hamilton's
suggestion
or.
A
Preference-
and
I
have
a
plan
we
haven't
heard
from
the
mayor-
so
you
know,
would
be
interesting,
also
beneficial
to
hear
from
him
and
maybe
even
councilman
salazar.
As
you
know,
councilman
hamilton
kind
of
expressed
these
views
and
we
can
see
how
it
goes
from
there.
So
those
are
my
comments
for
now.
You
know
thank
you
and,
and
you
will
and
everybody
their
hands
up,
but
you
did
ask
of
the
city
turning.
We
saw
that
he
is
here
and
with
his
mic
on
so
why
don't
we?
If
that's
okay?
A
We
ask
city
attorney
to
respond
at
this
time.
Of
course,
just
a
couple
of
thoughts.
C
Members
of
the
city
council,
obviously
a
difficult
issue.
The
presentations
earlier
were
intriguing,
and,
I
think
is
one
of
the
both
of
them
said:
there's
no
perfect
system
of
elections
generally.
What
you
try
to
do
is
figure
out
what
the
problem
is,
that
you're
trying
to
solve
and
then
adopt
one
or
or
other
of
the
methods,
each
of
which
have
different
variations,
as
I
think
you've
heard
to
sort
of
address
that
particular
problem.
C
So
I
think
at
the
moment
there
there
doesn't
appear
to
be
a
clear
articulation
from
the
city
council
about
what
what
the
problem
is.
That
would
be
solved
by
adopting
an
alternative
voting
mechanism,
but
leaving
that
aside,
I
think
the
the
notion
of
pausing
the
decision.
I
guess
it
depends
on
what
you
mean
by
pause.
C
So
if
you
don't
do
it
in
2022,
somebody
will
understandably
ask
why
didn't
you
and
the
city's
answer
presumably
would
be
well.
That's
because
the
city
council
want
to
study
different
alternative
election
methods,
but
they
really
haven't
made
any
decision
about
it.
They
don't
know
which
one
they
want
to
implement
and
it's
really
not
clear
whether
they're
going
to
address
any
of
the
problems
and,
moreover,
none
of
them
have
really
been
formally
approved
as
an
alternative
to
district
elections,
except
perhaps
in
unusual
circumstances
that
we
haven't
really
fully
studied.
C
So
I
think
one
of
the
speakers
earlier
said
that
that
their
method
was
not
in
the
safe
harbor
provision
under
the
cvra.
So
we
already
know
that
presumptively,
it's
it's
likely
going
to
be
disallowed
or
a
high
likelihood
of
litigation
anyway,
whether
it
would
be
successful
or
not
is
is
hard
to
say,
but
of
course,
litigation
doesn't
have
to
be
successful
in
order
to
be
expensive.
C
The
other
aspect
of
it
is
that,
while
the
city
council
may
choose
to
put
a
charter
at
the
november
2022
election,
remember
there's
no
guarantee
that
voters
will
approve
it.
So
if
the
voters
don't
approve
the
charter,
then
you're
actually
stuck
going
past
the
2024
election,
because
then
you
can't
put
the
charter
on
until
another
general
election.
You
can't
do
that
at
a
special
election.
C
So
the
difficulty
is
that
then
in
theory,
you
might
actually
be
postponing
districts
until
2026
or
later
so
so
I
think,
there's
there
are
a
variety
of
issues
with
with
potting
and
as
high
a
legal
risk.
I
think
is
as
we
can.
We
can
evaluate
at
this
point,
but
but
more
importantly,
I
think
the
postponement
of
the
district
elections
on
the
hope
that
a
charter
would
be
adopted
with
an
alternative
election
system
embedded
in
it
or
or
otherwise
is
really
speculation.
C
A
G
So
my
recollection
of
the
2020
meeting
was
that
the
reason
that
it
that
this
was
titled
intent
was
because
that
opportunity
would
be
there
to
change
those.
I
think,
there's
a
whole
conversation
if
I
recall
around
the
word
intent-
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that.
C
No,
a
council
member,
I
sorry
vice
mayor
mason.
It
certainly
is
an
option.
All
I'm
advising
is
that
it
comes
with
attendant
risk.
If
you,
if
you
choose
that
option,
you
can
intend,
you
can
say
you
intend
to
do
something
and
not
do
it,
which
is
what
this
would
be
tantamount
to.
But
then
you
you
there
is
a
risk
associated
with
that
decision.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
just
wanted
to
chime
back
in
because
I
didn't
really
state
an
opinion
one
way
or
the
other,
so
I
appreciate
council,
member
medina's
prompting,
and
so
I
would
say
that
I
I
am
at
this
point
not
in
favor
of
delaying
the
decision,
for
the
same
reason
that
I
was
not
in
favor
of
modifying
the
process
at
the
last
hour
and
acknowledging
the
fact
that
we
got
more
information
today,
at
least
in
my
opinion,
the
information
that
we
did
receive
earlier
was
not
compelling
enough
for
me
to
say,
wait
a
minute.
C
We
really
missed
a
great
opportunity
here.
I
believe
we
heard
one
of
the
statistics
is
that
50
cities
in
the
country
have
gone
to
one
of
these
alternative
methods
and
given
that
there's
probably
close
to
20
000
cities,
that's
you
know,
left
one
percent
of
cities
that
have
gone
that
route
and
in
california
we
have
this
new,
more
stringent
requirement,
and
so
we've
we've
gone
through
the
process.
C
I
don't
believe
we
should
close
the
door
on
looking
at
other
opportunities
going
forward,
but
I
think
at
this
point
we
have
made
a
commitment,
even
though
I
wasn't
completely
in
favor
in
the
beginning,
having
gone
this
far
down
the
process
and
having
received
public
input
and
having
vetted
out
solutions
and
having
real
evidence
that,
while
this
solution
may
not
be
the
only
solution
or
possibly
even
the
best
solution,
it
is
a
solution
that
might
encourage
better
broad
participation
and
might
encourage
people
that
might
not
have
run
otherwise
to
run.
C
So
it's
not
the
only
solution,
but
it
is
a
solution,
we're
very
far
down
the
process,
and
so
I
I'm
going
to
suggest
that
we
that
we
not
change
force
at
this
point
and
see
what
happens
with
the
charter
city
when
that
does
appear
on
the
ballot
and
then
make
another
decision
based
on
that
on
those
opportunities
that
are
created.
At
that
point,.
A
Thank
you
everybody
and
for
everybody's
comments
and
remarks,
and
I
think
in
this
whole
process.
I
think
it's
been
alluded
to
by
somebody
else,
but
that
I
think
everybody's
acted
within
professional
collegiate
and-
and
I
appreciate
that
some
of
my
concerns
until
until
we
were
in
our
study
session,
I
didn't
know
how
much
until
councilmember
medina
mentioned,
how
much
the
city
that
is
in
the
state
supreme
court
or
has
spent
on
fighting
this.
I
think
you
said
six
million
dollars
which
I
was
shocked.
A
I
will
tell
you
that
in
my
way,
if
we
could
divide
it
up
and
do
with
it
right
that
it
affects
no
one,
that
would
be
my
ideal
choice,
but
I
know
that
that's
not
wasn't
realistic
in
some
respects
or
another.
I
know
that
I've
been
getting
calls
over
this
weekend,
we're
just
talking
to
folks-
and
you
know,
there's
certain
electeds
in
school
districts
and
cities,
they're
districting
and
have
been
forced
to
do
it
with
very
nominal
time,
and
there
are
folks
that
will
be
off
their
their
elected
bodies
this
november.
A
My
surprise
at
some,
because
you
know
you
just
don't
know
but,
like
you
said
it's
hard
just
to
draw
the
perfect
line
and
map,
we
have
gone
through
this
process
for
some
time.
If
there
was
a
metric
map,
we
could
bring
forward,
but
I
don't
see
it.
You
know
the
only
other
alternative
was
to
have
the
other
districts
up
before
the
election
of
the
two
folks
that
have
their
turmoil.
A
That
would
then
give
that
opportunity,
but
I
do
have
the
risk
of
of
the
liability.
I
think
we've
gone
through
this
process,
there's
a
lot
of
what-ifs.
A
If
we
put
the
charter
on
the
ballot,
if
that
passes,
if
then
the
rank
voting,
if
we
put
it
on
about
the
rotational
mayor,
if
that
passes,
if
we
put
term
limits
on
the
ballot,
if
that
passes
so
there's
not
always
that's
not
a
guarantee,
but
I
can
understand
trying
to
wait
and
look
at
the
big
picture.
I
think
tonight's
presentations
are
great,
but
you
do
need
to
be
a
charter
city
or
those
options
aren't
afforded
to
us.
A
So
that's
my
immediate
concern
having
gone
through
the
process
to
this
degree
having
you
know,
like
I
said
at
the
last
meeting
it
bothered
me.
I
think
it
bothered
everybody,
because
you
know
that's
not
what
we
want
to
do,
and
so
anyway,
I'm
rambling.
Now
vice
mayor
mason,
then
council,
member
hamilton.
G
G
So
you
know
the
effort
was
made
so
that
we
did
this
in
order,
but
it
didn't
receive
support.
So
thank
you.
F
And
the
vice
mayor's
last
comment
is
really
at
the
core
of
what's
what
the
issue
is
here
is
that
the
order
of
operations
isn't
working
out.
I
want
to.
I
want
to
be
clear
that-
and
I
mentioned
this
earlier-
that
you
know
the
decision
to
go
on
this
path
for
district
elections
was
made
before
I
got
here
and
there's
been.
You
know.
F
This
is
our
sixth
public
hearing
on
this,
and
at
a
few
of
these
hearings,
we've
been,
you
know,
asked
for
action
and
we've
taken
taken
votes
in
hearing
four,
we
chose
a
map
in
hearing
five.
We
confirm
that
map
and
determine
the
election
order,
but
only
now
in
hearing
six
is
fmi
as
a
council
member
being
asked,
should
we
do
this
at
all
the
first
opportunity,
I've
had
to
say
up
or
down?
Should
we
even
do
this
at
all?
F
F
Why
did
we
not
do
what
we
said
we
were
going
to,
and
the
answer
to
that
is
a
lot
more,
in
my
opinion
is
a
lot
more
clear
than
than
the
the
the
the
workiness
and
the
examples
that
were
given
it's
because
we
have
alternatives
that
require
us
to
go
to
the
ballot,
and
we
can't
do
all
these
things
simultaneously.
F
That's
that's
the
that's
my
main
point
and
the
other.
The
other
biggest
point
here
is
that
what
I
said
earlier,
which
is
moving
to
we
will
be
moving
to
a
new
election
election
system
here
in
in
november,
moving
to
district
elections,
which
is
going
to
be
a
big
change
for
folks
and
then
very
likely,
or
at
least
you
know,
potentially,
if
a
charter
is
passed,
then
we
would
be
making
another
change
account
and
which
I
don't
think
is
ideal.
A
Yeah
and
the
only
thing
is
we
did
have
some
options
and
one
of
the
options
was
to
put
some
you
know
slow
it
down,
put
some
brakes
on
it
that
that
was
an
alternative
at
one
point
and
that's
where
I
think
we
we
have
worked
well
together,
but
it
has
not
been
I'm
pausing
because
I
just
thought
said
he
hauls
him
go
up.
Why
don't
we
go
to
city
hall
and
then
we'll
come
back.
C
City
manager,
grogan
pan,
went
up
not
in
relation
to
your
to
your
comment,
but
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
two
things.
The
5
pm
study
session
on
alternative
voting
methods
was
meant
to
align
to
your
conversation
around
the
city
charter.
Your
first
study
session
on
that
charter
is
scheduled
for
may
29th.
C
C
It's
important
to
note
that
the
conversation
around
alternative
voting
methods
did
come
up
in
prior
conversations
with
the
city
council,
and
at
that
time
it
was
discussed
that
any
of
those
alternatives
would
require
becoming
a
charter
city
which
would
inevitably
delay
the
transition
to
districts
to
2024
at
the
earliest.
There
was
a
discussion
around
that
and
the
city
attorney
provided
a
similar
analysis
that
he
did
tonight
about
the
potential
legal
risk
of
postponing
the
decision
to
2024,
and
at
that
time
the
city
council
did
decide
to
continue
with
the
districting
process.
C
And
so
I
just
want
to
point
that
out,
because
while
it
is
very
true
that
you
received
new
and
additional
information
tonight
at
the
5pm
study
session
about
alternative
voting
methods,
that
was
meant
to
inform
your
future
conversation
on
charter.
But
the
decision
to
continue
with
this
process,
knowing
that
an
alternative
voting
system
could
not,
after
alias,
be
implemented
until
24
was
talked
about,
and
the
decision
was
made
to
continue
with
this
process.
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
elevate
that
a
little
bit
more
because
I
know
there's
been
some
comments
about.
C
We've
received
new
information
today,
but
a
decision
was
made
earlier
to
actually
bifurcate
and
separate
these
properties,
because
moving
to
alternatives
would
actually
delay
the
decision.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
councilmember
medina.
F
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
apologize.
I
I
found
a
correction
in
my
notes.
It's
in
santa
clara
that
spent
6
million
in
four
years
fighting
and
eventually
conceding
that
they
lost
and
the
amount
that
santa
monica
has
spent
has
not
been
disclosed
in
the
newspaper
report
that
I
read,
the
other
attorneys
were
asking
for
90
million
in
in
attorney
fees.
So
I
wanted
to
make
that
clarification.
F
Thank
you
and
that's
it.
Thank
you.
A
I
mean
what
what
what
happens
to
this
process
or
the
work
that's
been
done
or
the
dollars
that
have
been
spent,
and
I
know
there
is
question
and
let
me
tell
you
there
are.
There
are
folks
that
have
lived
in
our
community
a
long
time,
former
electeds,
who
are
just
don't
like
the
district
honestly,
but
it's
something
hard
to
imagine
and
in
a
lot
of
folks
world
we
are
too
small
of
a
city
to
be
districted,
but
then
there
is
half
moon
bay.
A
You
know
belmont's
what
28
29
000
folks
we're
at
43
around
there
millbrae
berlin
lingane,
so
the
school
districts
high
schools
is
going
to
districting
this
november
community
college
board
already
has
so
it
is
happening.
They
have
received
letters,
but
then
you
know
they
have
their
their.
I
think
it's
90
days
right
in
which
to
make
it
happen.
A
So
could
that
happen
to
us
where
we
say?
Let's,
let's
pause
a
letter
comes,
and
does
that
mean
then
we
have
90
days
in
which
to
do
this
or
because
we're
too
close
to
the
2022
election.
We
don't
have
to
worry
about
that
until
the
next
one.
C
Well,
I
want
to
address
that
to
say
that,
in
the
likely
event
that
we
were
to
receive
a
letter,
it
would
then
rely
on
our
ability
to
persuade
the
person
writing
the
letter
that
we
were
actually
going
to
do
something
that
was
compliant
with
the
cvra,
which
is
at
the
moment
by
no
beats
certain.
So
I
think
it
would
be
the
the
argument
would
be
well
we're
going
to
do
one
of
these
things,
these
other
things
and
that's
sort
of
all.
C
We
could
all
we
could
say
I
think
at
that
point,
and
we
certainly
could
not
complete
that
process.
I
don't
think
in
a
reasonable
fashion
with
him
within
90
days.
That
would
be
a
real
stress
to
try
to
figure
out.
You
know
what
systems
you
want
to
have
that
go
through
all
the
pros
and
cons.
Suppose
it's
possible
but
see
that
kristen
is
on
and
she'd
have
some
additional
comments.
I
I
You
could
actually
be
forced
into
it
for
the
2022
election
and
have
a
map
imposed
by
a
judge,
as
opposed
to
this
process,
which
has
involved
the
public
and
the
council
did
select
an
app
drawn
by
a
member
of
the
public.
A
Oh
well,
council
we're
here
at
the
sixth
meeting
and
what's
what's
the
pleasure
of
the
council.
C
We'll
start
with
waiving
the
readings
you
have
to
take
action
to
waive
the
second
reading.
A
Yes,
the
the
first
action
would
be
to
waive
the
second
reading.
There's
been
a
motion
made
to
waive
a
second
reading.
That's
not
on
the
adoption
of
the
ordinance.
Is
there
a
second
to
that
executive?
A
I
G
A
Okay:
next,
we
can
either
adopt
the
ordinance
which
would
bring
this
whole
process
to
finality
or
make
an
amendment
or
or
choose
to
do
something
different,
but.
A
A
I
think
it's
it's
mike
didn't
go
on
so
I
think
we're
okay
through
the
chair.
Yes,.
C
No
other
action.
I
will
make
a
motion
to
adopt
the
ordinance
adopting
the
district
map
and
amending
the
municipal
code.
Chapter
2.32.010.
A
I
A
Okay.
Colleagues,
thank
you
again,
like
I
said,
through
this
whole
process,
I
appreciate
everyone's
thoughts,
passion
to
the
process
and
and
to
san
bruno.
A
What
I
think
I'd
like
to
do
with
council's
permission,
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
do
the
announcements
and
presentations
okay
with
council.
I
would
like
to
take
maybe
just
a
five
minute
break
after
that
before
we
get
into
consent
and
then
we'll
get
into
conduct.
B
I
A
A
A
That's
the
breakfast
with
the
egg
countdown
beginning
at
11a,
sharp
with
four
egg
hunt
areas
designated
by
ages,
four,
eight
and
under
between
lara
field
and
diamond
two
at
san
bernardino
city
park,
and
so
it's
nice
first
thank
you
to
the
alliance
and
to
the
rotary
for
all
of
their
effort
and
work
and
as
well
as
it's
nice
to
have
this
come
back.
A
So
I
hope
to
see
you
there
and
hopefully
the
weather
will
be
beautiful
net
item
item
b
the
deadline
to
apply
for
rent
and
utilities
relief
is
march
31st
2022.
All
applications
must
be
submitted
by
the
deadline
in
order
to
be
considered
for
funding,
qualified
renters
and
landlords
impacted
by
covid19
should
apply
at
housingthiskey.com
or
833.430.211.
A
Which
is
also
on
the
screen
there
for
everyone
to
see.
So
thank
you,
city
clerk.
Thank
you.
Folks
and
again,
you
know
I'd
say
you
know
six,
seven
minutes
if
that's
okay,
just
to
take
a
short
recess
and
if
you
go
I'll
stay
logged
in
and
I'm
sorry
you
know
what
before
I
stop,
though,
let
me
see
if
there's
anybody
from
the
public
who
wanted
to
comment
on
the
announcements
and
then
also
I
see
vice
mayor
mason
has
her
hand
up
on
the
announcements.
G
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
say
I
got
an
email
today
and
I
I'm
gonna
link
it
to
the
egg
hunt,
but
they're.
The
first
staff
is
also
doing
the
egg.
I
guess
it's
like
an
egg
basket
drop,
so
just
a
reminder,
because
I'm
seeing
that
they're
already
selling
out
so
I
guess
someone
surprises
you
and
leaves
like
a
basket
of
eggs
at
your
house,
for
your
kids,
so
check
it
out
on
our
website.
It's
pretty
neat
and
then
just
from
my
other
life,
my
full-time
job.
G
I
just
wanted
to
really
echo
and
highlight
the
march
31st
deadline.
The
state
has
extensively
helped
runners
behind
in
rent.
I
have
seen
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
returned
to
agencies
to
individuals,
so
it
is
real.
If
people
think
it's
not
a
real
program
out
there,
it
is
a
real
program.
I
have
seen
it.
G
A
A
Items
a
through
g
are
there
any
items
that
anybody
wants
to
pull
for
a
separate
vote,
see
none.
Are
there
any
items
that
council
members
wish
to
answer
or
make
a
comment.
B
Item
eight:
a
adopt
a
resolution
approving
the
design
offering
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
construction
contract
with
golden
bay
construction
for
the
huntington
san
antonio
bicycle
corridor
project
in
the
amount
of
one
million
one
hundred
and
twenty
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
four
dollars
approving
a
construction
contingency
of
285
000,
approving
a
total
budget
in
the
amount
of
one
million.
Five
hundred
and
eighty
eight
one
hundred
and
four
dollars
and
appropriating
eight
hundred
and
forty
three
thousand
four
hundred
and
sixty
seven
from
the
gas
tax
fund.
A
Thank
you
for
reading
that.
I
want
to
pause
for
a
moment
and
go
back
to
consent
because
I'm
just
realizing,
I
don't
think
I
asked
for
any
public
input.
So
let
me
make
sure
that
that
was
taken
care
of
so
and
I
apologize
everyone.
So
if
we
can
go
back
to
under
consent,
if
there
were
any
items
from
the
public
that
wanted
to
speak
or
comment.
B
I
see
paul
wominski
is
her
hand
is
raised.
Was
this
a
question
or
comment
on
the
consent
calendar.
F
A
It's
variety
day:
okay,
just
wanted
to
be
make
sure.
Okay,
with
item
8a,
we're
going
to
turn
over
to
the
public
works
director.
Mr
lee.
F
H
Okay,
good
evening,
members
of
city
council,
let
me
bring
up
the
presentation
and
then
we
could
begin.
H
Yes,
perfect.
Thank
you,
okay,
okay.
So
the
item
up
for
discussion
at
this
time
is
the
huntington
san
antonio
bike
corridor
project
and
before
I
dive
into
the
media,
the
presentation
just
a
quick
agenda,
I'll
be
going
over
the
background
of
the
project
and
how
it
got
started,
we'll
talk
about
the
project,
location
and
where
it
is
in
relation
to
the
city.
What
the
scope
of
work
is,
what
staff's
recommendation
is
for
this
project
and
then
I'll
open
up
for
any
questions?
Should
there
be
any
so
background?
H
This
is
actually
the
first
walk-in
bike
plan
that
the
city
of
san
bernardino
had
and
one
of
the
primary
purposes
of
this
walk
and
bike
plan
was
to
create
east-west
as
well
as
north-south
connections
for
a
bicyclist
in
san
bruno,
as
well
as
creating
connections
to
the
north,
with
the
city
of
south
san
francisco
and
connections
to
the
south,
with
the
the
milbury
to
the
south
and
as
part
of
that
process,
the
walk
and
bike
plan
created
a
proposed
biteway
network
for
the
entire
city.
H
So
here
you
can
see
kind
of
various
types
of
bike
paths,
bike
trails,
class,
3
class,
4
class
1,
and
they
kind
of
create
a
network
that
once
fully
constructed,
creates
a
easy
way
for
pedestrians
to
go
east-west
or
south,
as
well
as
to
the
neighboring
jurisdictions
so
kind
of
with
all
cities.
Cities
are
dealing
with
limited
funding,
so
staff
on
a
regular
basis.
We
apply
for
grant
opportunities
as
they
become
available
and
use
the
city's
available
funding
as
a
vocal
match.
H
H
So
some
of
the
constraints
on
that
grant
is
that
it
must
be
used
on
bike
and
pen
improvements
only
and
it
has
to
be
complete.
The
entire
project
has
to
be
complete
by
august
of
2022,
so
kind
of
going
back
to
the
project
location.
So
so,
where
is
this
project
exactly?
This
map
is
rotated
in
order
to
get
fit
on
the
slide,
so
north
is
kind
of
pointing
diagonal
this
way.
H
So
this
project
is
this
orange
highlighter
area
and
it
runs
from
pretty
much
downtown
san
bruno
at
san
mateo
avenue
and
goes
south,
which
is
to
the
right
of
the
slide
to
the
middlebury
border
right
here
here
you
can
kind
of
see
it's
to
the
east
of
common
point,
82
and
south
of
I-380,
so
huntington
avenue
becomes
san
antonio
avenue
at
san
franciso.
That's
why
it's
called
the
huntington
san
antonio
bike
corridor
project.
H
This
is
the
scope
of
work
and
I'm
not
gonna
talk
too
much
about
it
on
this
slide,
just
to
kind
of
highlight
these
are
sort
of
the
major
improvements
that
will
be
constructed
with
that
project
and
we'll
step
into
more
detail
of
each
of
these
particular
improvements
on
each
individual
slide.
That's
coming
up
right
now!
H
So
again,
this
is
it
started.
The
purpose
of
this
is
it's
a
bike
project
so,
as
shown
in
the
walking
bike
plan
and
that
proposed
bikeway
network,
this
green
line
that
runs
from
san
mateo
avenue
to
the
middlebury
border
right
here
and
is
proposed
to
be
a
enhanced
class
iii
bike
route.
So
enhanced
class
feedback
route
is
really
a
shared
lane
roadway
that
has
been
enhanced
with
additional
visibility.
H
H
So
that's
what's
proposed
and
that's
the
primary
purpose
of
this
project.
There
are
other
improvements
with
this
project.
At
the
same
time,
we're
also
going
to
be
doing
pedestrian
improvements,
so
we'll
be
doing
a
bunch
of
curb
extensions.
Some
people
refer
to
as
bull
belts
at
various
locations.
H
The
primary
curve
extension
is
going
to
be
huntington,
avenue
and
angus
avenue,
and
what
it's
going
to
do
is
it's
going
to
create
this
kind
of
picture
right
here?
It's
not
that
location,
but
it
looks
something
similar
and
it's
also
going
to
add
a
crossing
that
intersection
right
now
is
a
four-way
stock
control
intersection
with
three
crosswalks.
H
So,
with
the
completion
of
this
project,
it
will
have
four
crosswalks
and
at
three
other
locations
which
are
mid
block
crossings
we'll
be
constructing
these
sort
of
mid
block
bulb
outs.
It
looks
similar
to
this
picture
right
here
minus.
H
What
is
a
pole
that
you
see
is
actually
a
rectangular
rapid
flashing
beacon
that
that
is
not
included
on
this
project,
along
with
the
kerbex
we'll
be
installing
various
accessible
curb
ramps
at
various
locations.
These
purple
and
yellow
dots
to
improve
accessibility
for
pedestrians
that
are
walking
along
the
bike
corridor.
H
So,
in
order
to
fully
realize
the
benefits
of
a
class
b,
enhanced
bike
corridor,
it's
ideal
to
install
those
green
back
trails
on
pavement
that
is
in
fair
or
good
condition
for
really
two
reasons.
H
The
first
reason
is
that
having
kind
of
newish
pavement
provides
a
smoother
surface
for
best
less
to
ride
on,
they
really
feel
it
because
their
bicycles
don't
leave
any
shocks
and
it
encourages
special
riding
by
having
good
pavement
and
the
second
reason
is
actually
enhances
the
visibility,
because,
when
thermoplastic
is
applied
on
pavement,
that
is
degraded
that
tends
to
affect
the
look
and
make
it
not
stand
out
as
much
to
motorists.
H
So
going
back
a
little
bit,
this
area
actually
has
been
the
site
of
various
projects
and
it's
actually
repaved
a
good
portion
of
the
project
site
already
so
back
in
2019,
there
was
actually
a
avenues.
What
city
refers
to
avenues,
1-1,
1-2
water,
main
replacement
project,
and
actually
we
paved
huntington
avenue
from
san
mateo
avenue
to
florida
avenue
through
a
project
last
year?
H
That's
about
to
close
out
this
year
the
avenues,
1-3
project
and
we
paid
florida
avenue
to
san
flippe
avenue,
and
there
was
a
paving
project
that
was
also
grant
funded,
that
we
paved
san
antonio
avenue
from
santa
domingo
avenue
to
santa
ana's
avenue.
H
So
this,
the
the
areas
that
are
not
highlighted
are
actually
in
in
good
condition.
We
recently
took
care
of
the
repaved
it.
This
area
in
red
is
part
of
the
base,
bin
and
staff
included
as
part
of
the
base
bit,
because
it's
actually
in
poor
condition.
That's
what
staff
considers
this
area,
so
it
would
be
optimum
to
repeat
this
area.
H
This
area
in
yellow
is
also
in
a
condition-
that's
not
so
great,
but
the
reason
why
it
was
not
originally
included
in
the
work
when
staff
was
finding
out
the
project
was
at
the
time
staff
was
forecasting
that
we
would
be
replacing
the
water
utilities
in
this
area,
but
with
the
update
to
the
water
master
plan
that
is
currently
in
progress,
it
looks
like
that
project
prioritization,
for
this
area
is
being
pushed
back
and
it
will
be
occurring
in
the
near
future.
So
we're
recommending
that
we
also
repave
this
area.
H
The
last
remaining
area
is
this
area
in
blue.
It's
actually
fair
edition,
it's
not
bad,
but
it's
pretty
interesting
because
actually
half
of
the
rollway,
I
guess
on
the
on
the
right
for
the
slide,
the
orientation,
the
long
sim
array
and
half
of
it
belongs
to
the
sabrinal.
So
city
of
san
bruno
staff,
we've
been
talking
to
our
counterparts
with
millbrae,
and
it
appears
that
they're
open
to
entering
into
a
cost
sharing
agreement.
H
So
if
we're
able
to
execute
a
cost-sharing
agreement
with
no
brand
time,
then
well,
we
pay
santa
alana
as
long
as
we're
able
to
get
that
clustering
agreement
without
in
time
without
jeopardizing
the
grant
funding
which
requires
that
the
project
be
complete
by
august
2022.
H
So
with
that
staff's
recommendation
is
that
we
adopt
resolution
approved
design,
execute
construction,
construction
contract
with
golden
bay
construction
approval,
construction,
contingency
of
285
thousand
approve
a
total
budget
of
one
million
five
hundred
eighty
eight
thousand
one
hundred
four
dollars
and
appropriate
843
467
from
the
gas
tax
fund,
and
with
that
I'll
open
up
for
the
questions.
A
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
I
would
like
to
go
to
colleagues
at
this
time
and
then
we
will
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
public
council
member
medina.
F
Yes,
first
of
all,
thank
you.
Staff,
san
antonio
and
huntington,
have
been
in
really
important
for
quite
a
while.
Understandably,
a
number
of
different
projects
are
going
through
there,
so
it
was
great
to
see
us
moving
forward
with
this.
A
couple
questions
one
and
clarifying
the
policy
when
water
and
sewer
pipes
are
installed.
F
F
What
does
the
city
do
in
in
having
bart
maybe
contribute
to
on
the
street,
because,
as
you
grind,
that
down
you're
gonna
run
into
the
roots
and
you're
gonna
potentially
damage
the
health
of
the
tree
and
a
number
of
those
trees?
There
are
they're,
quite
old
and
are
likely
to
fall.
So
those
are
my
first
questions
about
clarifying
the
policy
and
pick
and
paving
for
santa
helena.
F
F
I
grow
this
section.
I
really
avoid
driving
the
street
because
it
is
in
such
poor
shape
and
you're
bouncing
along,
and
it's
only
getting
worse.
So
I
think
my
last
question
would
be
for
the
addition
of
speed
bumps.
We
I'm
sorry.
F
I
have
another
question
at
that:
the
addition
of
speed
bumps
that
we
could
add
those
later
but
clearly
they're,
not
part
of
the
project
for
the
time
being,
the
tsp
has
a
new
tool
kit
and
that
allows
e-books
to
be
installed,
and
I
I'm
sure
this
would
be
one
of
them
that
that
should
be
there
and
those
are
my.
Those
are
my
questions
for
now.
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
the
last.
F
The
last
comment
is:
there
are
three
driveways
that
enter
bark
property
that
lead
to
gates
or
a
wire
that
bart
utilizes
to
access
their
property
and
to
get
to
the
track
side,
and
it
would
be
proper
and
best
managed
practices
for
those
driveway
approaches
to
actually
be
paved
and
and
and
constructed
because
right
now
it
just
bounces
right
into
dirt.
F
So
just
wanted
to
leave
those
comments
with
you
and
hopefully
see
mark
do
their
part
to
keep
from
tracking
mud
and
debris
onto
newly
paved
streets,
and
I'm
sorry
now
one.
I
got
one
more
question.
I
I
thought
here
as
I
grow
through
today,
so
there's
a
section
right
there
from
georgia
to
florida
that
the
street
really
becomes
really
wide,
and
it's
my
understanding
that
wider
streets
attract
quicker
cars
and
is
anything
planned.
F
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
member
medina
through
the
chair.
There's
a
couple
questions
there.
I'm
gonna
try
to
attempt
to
answer
some
of
them
and
and
we'll
go
from
there.
Hopefully
I
can
get
most
of
them
so
first
helena.
The
question
is:
are
have
utilities
been
replaced
in
that
location,
I'll
defer
for
water
and
sewer
lines
to
our
principal
engineer,
david
wong,
to
answer
but
for
our
storm
water?
F
We
are
doing
some
spot
repairs
in
the
next
coming
week
or
two
on
salinas,
so
those
we
we
definitely
do
try
to
coordinate
all
our
utility.
F
The
the
goal
is
to
not
go
and
dig
it
up
twice.
I
think
sometimes,
that's
not
possible,
just
given
the
timing
and
the
resources
that
we
have
and
when
we
have
to
do
repairs
in
certain
areas,
but
we
always
do
try
to
find
alignment
whenever
possible.
H
Hi,
okay,
so
thanks
matt,
I'm
gonna
try
to
answer
any
questions
that,
hopefully
you
might
have
missed,
and
hopefully
I
don't
miss
any,
and
I
guess
we
could
always
ask
council
member
medina
to
re-ask
questions
that
we
might
have
missed.
Okay,
so
first
question:
I'm
gonna
tackle
the
bark,
probably
so
my
understanding
I'm
going
to
start.
This
slide
show
right
here
right
here,
so
council
member
medina
is
correct
that
a
portion
of
huntington
avenue
about
half
of
it
is
not
within
city's
jurisdiction.
H
That
portion
is
actually
north
of
san
felipe
avenue
and
with
the
avenues
1-3
project
that
is
now
lifting
up
the
city
did
enter
into
a.
We
did
get
a
precaution
permit
from
a
bart
to
to
do
to
do
work
in
that
area,
and
it
was
repaved.
This
area
to
the
right,
which
is
actually
south
of
san
felipe
avenue,
is
wholly
within
the
cities
right
away.
H
The
railways
actually
have
been
there
or
I
think,
34
feet
or
something
and
and
then
past
the
the
the
curb
would
be
not
city
of
san
bernardino's
property,
so
we're
we're
not
gonna
run
into
any
issues
of
our
ad
area.
Second,
question,
I
believe,
was
a
drive
driveways
in
this
area.
I
I
don't
recall
there
being
any
driveways
along
the
face
urban
area
that
we're
planning
to
repave,
which
is
south
of
san
felipe
avenue.
H
But
that
is
a
good
comment
and
we'll
just
we'll
double
check
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
miss
that
and
then
I
believe
the
last
question
was
regards
to
santa
helena
avenue,
and
this
entire
area
under
the
previous
water
master
plan,
was
actually
the
avenues
for
what
we
call
the
four
dash
project.
But
with
the
update
that's
going
on
right
now,
we
probably
won't
be
getting
to
any
of
these
streets
within
the
next
five
plus
years.
H
Probably
so,
if
we
were
to
repave
this
area,
I
I
I
think
it
would
be
worth
it
just
because
it's
a
while
before
we
would
get
to
it
with
the
utility
project,
so
we
may,
or
we
may
not
be
paid.
I
think
it
depends
on
whether
or
not
we're
able
to
enter
in
the
cost-sharing
agreement
with
library
and
it
due
to
the
kind
of
the
time
constraints
of
the
event.
I
believe
that
was
the
questions
that
were
asked.
F
Thank
you
for
that
clarification
on
the
property.
I
know
that's
been
kind
of
an
ongoing
issue
with
bart
being
that
for
a
while
there,
the
homeless
were
were
gathering
along
that
section
of
property
and
and
then
bart
put
up
some
science.
F
Finally,
but
my
question
about
the
trees
and
how
the
tree
roots
are
at
the
surface,
and
you
can
see
where,
where
in
a
couple
of
locations,
they
were
buckling
the
road
in
the
event
that
as
you're
as
you're
digging
those
grinding
those
out-
and
I
don't
know
if
you're
going
to
do
any
deeper
repairs
to
the
subgrade
there,
but
just
the
the
likelihood
of
encountering
roots
there,
and
if
it
was
a
tree
that
was
on
my
part,
they
would
be
responsible.
F
I
would
think
for
the
damage
caused
to
this
to
the
street.
I
can
send
you
the
three
driveways
that
I
took
pictures
of
today.
I
just
went
by
there
and
just
out
of
curiosity,
so
that
are
my
questions,
anything
that
can
be
done
about
the
wideness
of
the
street,
the
appearance
between
florida
and
georgia,
because
speed
and
bikes
don't
mix
well
what
could
possibly
be
done
there
or
as
it
has
has
been
brought
forward.
F
Maybe
that's
a
project
later
or
some
striking,
but
right
now
I
think
just
wanted
to
see
what
staff
thought
about
that
yeah.
But
as
far
as
my
knowledge,
nothing
has
been
brought
forward
about
the
width
of
that
location.
Yet,
but
I
think
you
bring
up
a
good
point
as
we're
thinking
about
this
project.
A
lot
of
the
things
that
you
mentioned
council
member
medina,
is
a
lot
of
traffic
calming
measures
for
roadway,
and
so
that's,
obviously
those
items
will
be
brought
up
at
tspc.
H
H
And
then,
as
one
of
the
toolkits
that
we
have
in
the
traffic
calming
program,
one
of
one
of
them
is
actually
what
councilmember
dean
was
saying,
which
would
be
a
fog
lines
or
a
center
line
to
kind
of
visually,
make
the
world
apparently
or
to
lower
speeds.
I
I
do
want
to
add
kind
of
related
to
that
is
we
do.
H
We
are
installing
traffic
calming
not
speed
bumps,
but
we
will
be
putting
into
radar
speed
feedback
signs
in
this
area,
so
that
should
hopefully
alleviate
some
of
the
speeding
that
you
may
may
have
seen.
F
Great,
I
I
didn't
pick
that
up,
but
that
would
be
wonderful
and
probably
we
would
have
to
wait
for
the
street
to
get
paved
anyhow
before
we
do
a
speed
study,
because
I
think
the
bottles
slow
people
down
enough.
I
mean,
if
you
try
to
go
through
that
area
at
30
miles
an
hour
you're
going
to
blow
out
a
tire
or
so
they've
got
some
natural
speed
possibles
there.
So
thank
you
for
the
report,
I'm
in
support
of
this.
G
G
No,
and
maybe
I'm
calling
it
some
the
wrong
thing,
it's
the
presentation
that
heiwan
gave
on
the
schedule
for
streets
to
be
repaved
and
redone,
and
she
she.
It
was
a
great
presentation,
but
it
provides
all
the
different
streets
and
how
they
are
measured
and
what
the
need
is,
and
so
I
think
that's
one
of
the
most
common
questions
we
get,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
that
these
different
plans
are
complementing
each
other.
F
F
Program
which
looks
at
the
road
conditions
of
the
streets
within
the
city
of
san
bruno
and
so
what
we,
what
we
generally
do
as
part
of
our
favorite
program,
it
provides
a
list
of
streets
to
be
repaved
at
a
specific
time,
given
the
the
funding
out
and
the
road
conditions.
F
What
we
do
with
a
lot
of
these
general
plans
is
they're
just
that
their
their
plans,
and
we
need
to
factor
all
the
various
plans
in
because
we
have
a
water
master
plan.
We
have
a
you,
know,
sewer
master
plan,
and
so
what
we
do
is
we
take
those
plans
and
we
actually
make
sure
we
coordinate
it
so
that
we
can
disrupt
the
public
and
minimally
as
possible.
F
You
know
it's
great
for
us
to
do
all
this
work,
but
as
more
and
more
work,
I'm
in
there
will
be
more
areas
of
disruption
and
we're
really
trying
to
minimize
that,
and
so
these
are
factored
in.
Obviously,
some
of
these
street
locations
probably
were
not
not
slated
to
be
paved
until
a
later
time,
because
we
got
the
grant
for
the
bike
quarter
to
come
in.
We've
decided
to
repave
those
streets
like
the
two
roadblock
sections
that
we
were
discussing
on
san
antonio.
G
Okay,
I
think
just
a
direct
release.
That's
a
question
I'll
probably
be
asking
more
regularly,
because
I
just
want
to
see
where
I
guess
where
we
are
with
the
plan
that
I
can
send
it
over
to
you
via
email,
but
it
would
be
good
to
get
an
update
on
that,
but,
in
particular
as
we're
spending.
You
know
this
is
over
a
million
dollars
and
we
get
calls
and
say
well,
why
isn't
my
street
repaved?
Yet
it's
good
to
be
able
to
say?
Well,
we
have
this
grant
money
now.
G
It
applies
specifically
to
the
street,
but
it's
also
good
to
know.
Does
that
mean
that
the
funds
that
had
been
set
aside
for
something
else?
Are
they
not
going
to
be
able
to
use
for
that?
Since
you
know
this
shouldn't
impact
another
project
right
because
of
the
grant
funding,
so
so
I
think
just
as
far
as
staff
capacity
goes
is
that
still
realistic,
and
you
don't
have
to
answer
that
right
now,
I'm
just
in
general.
It
would
be
good
as
these
projects
come
to
be
able
to
say
it
is
part
of
this
longer
10-year
plan.
G
It's
not.
The
street
has
been
moved
up
and
here's
why
so
that
we
can
just
better
communicate
that
to
the
public.
Thank
you
yeah.
As
part
of
as
part
of
the
street
saver
plan.
Our
goal
is
to
resurface
or
repave
all
streets
over
the
life
cycle.
F
G
And
then,
just
as
far
as
the
timeline
goes,
what
was
the
anticipated
time
frame
for
this
again.
F
H
Starting
okay,
so
should
council
approve
this
item
staff
plans
to
issue
the
north
proceed
to
the
contractor
late
april,
which
means
construction
will
probably
start
in
may
again,
but
we're
aiming
for
completion
of
the
project
in
by
august
because
of
the
grant
deadline.
So
we
are
on
a
sort
of
a
fast
track.
A
F
Through
the
chair,
yes,
that
is
a
great
point.
Those
are
points
of
discussions
that
we
have
after
we
receive
council
award
and
we
have
pre-construction
meeting
with
the
contractor.
Our
goal
is
to
try
to
minimize
that
as
much
as
possible.
Obviously,
this
project
is
a
little
more
challenging
just
because
of
the
grant
deadlines
so,
depending
on
the
order
of
operation
of
work.
That
needs
to
be
done.
It
may
potentially
conflict
with
school,
but
our
hope
is
to
not
have
that
be
the.
C
So
I
I
share
some
of
council
member
madinah's
concerns
around
speech.
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
there's
going
to
be
some
some
of
those
feedback
mechanisms
put
in
place.
Sometimes
they
work.
Sometimes
they
don't
so.
Hopefully,
they'll
have
an
impact
here.
I
sometimes
run
down
that
street
and
you
know
I
get
to
you
know
when,
if
I'm
on
the
side
of
the
street
that
has
no
sidewalk
I'm
in
the
street-
and
I
know
cars
do
tend
to
come-
sometimes
dodging
the
potholes,
so
they
can
maintain
their
speed.
C
So
it
would
be
nice
if
we
can
do
something,
but
to
control
that
I
heard
staff
say
that
if
there
are
complaints
from
the
neighbors
that
we
could
look
at
other,
you
know
other
systems
to
to
control.
The
speed
I
was
wondering
is
that
necessarily
only
residents
that
can
issue
a
complaint
or
could
it
be
cyclists
that
use
the
the
track?
Would
they
also
be
entitled
to
initiate
that
investigation.
F
Yeah,
I
so
generally
typically
I'll.
Let
david
talk
a
little
more
about
it,
but
general
terms.
You
generally
want
the
residents
in
that
street
or
that
neighborhood
to
want
the
traffic
calming
device
measure.
You
don't
want
someone
else
saying.
H
It's
going
too
fast
and
they
put
a
speed
bump
right
in
your
street,
and
you
know
you
run
over
that
speed
bump
every
day.
So
that
and
general
terms,
that's
what
it
is.
I'm
gonna!
Let
david
talk
a
little
bit
more
in
specifics
about
our
our
program
david.
Can
you
come
in
sure
thanks
man,
okay,
so
in
general
terms,
that
is
correct.
I
was
just
reminded
by
my
colleagues
that
I
believe,
huntington
avenue
in
san
antonio
avenue
is
a
collector
roadway
which
precludes
it
from
participating
in
traffic
calming
program.
H
I
will
say
that
every
five
to
seven
years,
the
city
has
a
city-wide
speed
survey
where
we
have
someone
do
lidar,
so
that
police
can
for
speed
limits
throughout
the
city
and
as
part
of
that,
what
continent
and
san
antonio
will
be
done
and
we'll
know
kind
of
what
the
85
percentile
is
and
whether
or
not
people
are
speeding
on
street
and
should
they
speeding,
we'll,
certainly
have
traffic
look
into
what
might
be
some
potential
solutions?
H
Okay,
and
to
add
to
what
david
is
saying
generally.
F
The
theory
behind
it
is
sometimes
when
you
make
road
waste,
either
class,
three
or
class
three
class
one
and
there's
more
cyclists
on
the
roadway
that
sometimes
helps
with
the
feed
as
well,
because
people
come
to
expect
that
that
is
a
bicycle
corridor,
and
so
sometimes
that
helps
all
these
measures
that
we
talk
about.
Like
you
said,
council
member
cells,
are
it
might
work?
It
might
not?
F
We
hope
that
it
does,
but
we
know
that
those
are
the
tools
that
we
use
and
it's
all
to
just
make
sure
we
have
kind
of
a
livable
community,
and
so
the
hope
is
that
this
bike
corridor
will
will
be
just
that
because
it
does
connect
from
milbray
in
the
south
and
we're
going
to
be
extending
further
north
with
the
other
project,
and
it
is
part
of
the
bicycle
plan.
That's
that's!
Truly
the
vision
right
to
make
a
corridor.
That's
more
south
on
the
east
side
of
town.
C
F
H
Go
ahead,
dude,
so
thermal
flex
typically
has
a
life
of
five
to
seven
years.
You
will
be
placing
it
so
that
outside
of
driveways
to
kind
of
minimize,
vehicular
traffic,
so
as
much
as
possible,
we're
going
to
try
to
keep
it
outside
the
wheel
paths
and
any
vehicles
to
kind
of
extend
the
left
of
that
thermoplastic
marking.
C
F
I
I
think
I
think
it
was
not
clear
it's
actually
the
center
of
the
travel
way,
so
a
travel
lane,
so
it
would
keep
it
outside
the
wheel
path.
You
know
in
terms
of
striping
technology,
there's
either
paint
or
thermal
plastic
and
thermoplastic
is
of
course,
the
more
durable
item,
and
so
that's
what
we're
putting
out
there.
Obviously
there
is
a
maintenance
aspect
to
it.
The
hope
is
for
us
to
as
we
install
new
infrastructure.
F
Maintenance
is
always
the
challenge
right.
We
it's
all
more
capital
instructions,
so
we're
looking
at
ways
of
how
we
can
look
at
that
corridor.
This
is
one
of
I
believe,
the
one
one
of
the
first
new
class
three
bike
corridors
on
a
collector
road
and
so
we'll
be
evaluating
that
as
as
after
installation
to
see
you
know
what
our
maintenance
cycle
should
be.
C
Okay
and
and
finally,
along
those
same
lines,
are
we
going
to
be
monitoring
the
bicycle
traffic
in
on
on
the
lane
to
see
what
kind
of
return
we're
getting
on
on
the
investment
and
it's
going
to
be
heavily
used.
F
I
will
defer
to
david
if
there's
an
account
or
that,
like
our
radar
stuff
tracks,
things
like
that.
H
You
know
that
that
was
that's,
certainly
something
that
we
should
probably
consider
it
wasn't
something
that
we
accounted
for
right
now,
but
I
I
think
in
general,
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
practice.
F
First,
I
want
to
say
you
know,
I'm
very
pleased
this
project
is
going
forward
and
acne
and
that
it's
being
fast
tracked,
this
is
a
key
component
to
making
that
bike
bridge
make
its
way
all
the
way
through
san
bernardino.
So
this
is
where
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
this.
I
just
want
to
make
a
one
clarification
announcement
made
earlier
regarding
hunting
being
a
collector
and
then
therefore
it
can't
participate
in
traffic
calming
programs.
I
want
to
clarify
that
because
I
I
don't.
F
I
don't
think
that
entire
statement
is
necessarily
true,
because
it
definitely
precludes
speed
bumps,
but
it
wouldn't
preclude
any
traffic
coming
measures,
because
the
bulb
outs
that
were
mentioned
are
traffic
coming
measures
fade
lines
can
be
done.
Those
types
of
things
I
just
wanted
to.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
for
folks
who
are
watching
just
in
case
they
live
on
a
collector
like
I
do
and
think
that
nothing
can
ever
be
done
for
the
drive,
because
that's
not
true.
A
Thank
you.
Let's
go
to
a
public
comment
for
this
item.
Anybody
who
wishes
to,
if
you
could
raise
your
virtual
hand
or
city
clerk,
will
bring
you
into
the
room.
F
Good
evening,
first,
I'd
like
to
say
I'm
a
bike
rider
and
I
ride
my
bike
quite
a
bit
around
the
town,
but
I
don't
know
why
we're
spending
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
for
a
bike
path.
F
You
know,
I
think,
was
councilman
salazar
asked
the
question
you
know:
are
we
going
to
monitor
how
many
people
well?
Why
didn't
we
think
about
how
many
people
are
going
to
use
this
before
we're
going
to
spend
a
million
and
a
half
dollars?
I
mean:
was
there
a
study
done
to
say
how
many
users
there
would
we
think
that
we're
gonna
be?
F
It
sounds
like
that
wasn't
done.
We
just
asked
for
a
bunch
of
money
to
to
pave
it.
The
second
thing
is.
F
On
this
street,
if
there's
a
speed
problem,
why
did
we
pick
the
street
to
put
bicyclists
that
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
me?
Maybe
we
should
have
picked
a
street
that
wasn't
going
to
be
a
problem
where
we
could
have
accidents,
and
the
thing
is:
why
didn't
we?
Why
doesn't
it
go
the
full
length
of
san
bruno?
Are
we
doing
the
you
know
the
the
train
to
nowhere
or
we're
building
a
bike
path
here
and
then
we're
going
to
spread.
F
A
Thank
you,
president.
Just
it
was
asking
a
question
just
as
far
as
why
this
was
selected
or
you
know,
did
we
do
any
kind
of
survey
per
se
on
the
usage
by
bicyclists?
Is
there
any
mr
lee
or.
F
Yeah,
thank
you
to
the
to
the
resident.
So,
as
we
talked
about
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation,
this
was
part
of
the
white
walk
and
bike
plan
which
was
adopted
by
council
in
2016..
F
Those
particular
questions
are
asked
in
the
plan
as
we
choose
those
corridors.
Sometimes
you
choose
corridors
because
there
is
a
north
south
street
that
can
go
straight
through
for
a
bicyclist
that
would
be
a
residential
street.
Sometimes
that's
not
the
case,
and
it
would
have
to
be
a
collector
by
myself
and
my
bicyclist.
I
commute
to
work
by
bike
sometimes,
and
so
I'm
well
aware
of
you
know
the
business
of
streets.
The
class
three
bike
way
is
to
try
to
make
the
the
bike
corridor
a
usable
space
for
all
rider
levels.
F
F
And
so,
if
you
think
about
the
bicycling
itself,
the
the
more
bicyclists
the
more
facilities
you
can
create
for
bicyclists
and
opportunities
for
them
to
bike
and
you
they
will
choose
that
as
an
alternative
option
than
driving,
and
so
that's
part
of
the
goal
of
the
bike
plan.
F
Although
this
project
particularly
stops
at
that
particular
area,
we
do
have
another
project
that
connects
all
the
way
up
into
huntington
as
a
cycle
track,
and
so
this
bike
route
itself
is
not
something
that
the
city
of
san
bruno
is
saying:
funding
100
we
did
receive,
grant
funding
to
do
it.
So
there
is
regional
significance
for
this
bike
corridor,
and
so
that's
why
we're
we
as
part
of
our
bike
plan
and
and
the
grant?
We
felt
that
this
was
a
good,
viable
project
that
also
connected
the
rest
of
huntington
cycle
track.
That
will.
A
Thank
you
director,
just
in
yeah
this
this
road,
this
stretch
of
san
antonio,
has,
has
been
in
need
and
I'm
sure
once
the
construction
is
done,
it
will
be
appreciated
so
and
I'm
glad
for
that.
So
is
there
any
action?
This
is
a
resolution.
Any
action
by
council.
A
Thank
you.
Next,
we'll
move
on
to
item
b
city
clerk,
adopt
resolution
approving
the
design
authorizing
the
c
manager
to
execute.
B
Approving
an
agreement
amendment
with
frayer
and
loretta
for
grant
support
services
for
15
000,
approving
a
construction
contingency
of
one
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
and
approving
a
total
project
budget
in
the
amount
of
one
million.
Four
hundred
and
fifty
five
thousand
dollars.
A
Thank
you
city
clerk.
Now
we
will
turn
over
for
the
presentation
to
the
deputy
director,
juan
richie.
I
So
yes,
thank
you
tonight.
The
item
I
have
before
you
is
the
request
to
award
a
construction
award
of
the
spyglass
drive
storm
drain
improvements,
project.
I
So
this
is
just
you
know.
Pictorial
of
what
sample
watershed
could
be
could
be
composed
of
you
know
various
types
of
uses.
We
have
an
urban
area
here
farm,
so
this
is
not
yet
specific
to
san
bruno,
but
just
in
general
and
as
a
drop
of
water
falls
on
vegetated
area.
Some
of
that
water
will
infiltrate
and
percolate
into
the
ground
and
grow
water.
Some
will
run
off
if
it's
more
urbanized
and
there's
you
know,
structures
with
roof
and
paving
and
convey
then
that
rain
water
is
less
likely
to
infiltrate.
I
You
know
there
may
be
lawns,
but
that
will
run
off
into
the
storm
drain
system.
So
in
the
case
of
spyglass
drive,
it
will
go
back
all
right
in
the
space
in
the
case
of
spy
glass
drives
a
shark
park
road
in
the
area
south
flow
through
blow
through
spy
glass.
Their
existing
storm
drain
system.
I
So
the
scope
of
the
project
includes
replacement
and
upsize
the
storm
drain
pipe,
and
I
will,
on
the
next
slide,
show
a
generalized
overview
of
where
these
areas
are
include
also
repair
and
cure
in
place.
Installing
new
storm
drain
pipe
and
restoring
the
trench,
and
so
here
again
is
my
glass
drive.
We
have
more
of
this
up
and
see.
Spyglass
drive
is
this
straight
here.
I
So
first
is
to
upsize
pipe,
so
this
pipe
size
is
currently
a
27
inch
pipe
and
that
will
be
replaced
with
a
42
inch
outer
diameter
pipe.
The
amount
of
this
work
is
approximately
160,
linear,
feet,
repair
and
cure
in
place
about
150
lineal
feet.
There
is
already
large
size
pipes
existing
at
this
location,
and
this
area
will
be,
any
offices
will
be
repaired
and
then
any
connections
that
may
have
occurred
in
its
history
will
be
isolated
and
the
pipe
will
be
cured
in
place
and
on.
I
The
top
right
is
an
example
of
what
the
before
and
after
of
the
pipe
would
look
like,
and
then
we
have
new
pipe
installation
and,
as
I
mentioned,
any
potential
connections
from
private
systems
or
otherwise
will
be
separated
and
isolated
and
will
now
flow
into
the
separate
system.
There's
currently
not
a
storm
drain
system,
it's
all
service
flow,
but
there
is
some
private
valley,
gutter
and
inlets,
and
so
those
will
be
gathered
into
this
pipe
within
an
easement.
I
The
private
system
is
not
within
an
easement,
but
the
pipe
will
be
installed
in
an
easement
and
then
flow
downhill.
There's
my
glass
drive
and
it
also
oops.
There
is
existing
system
through
an
easement
here
as
well
across
from
pacific
heights,
and
so
the
line
will
connect
to
that
system
and
flow
again
to
the
system.
That's
running
behind
the
north,
the
homes
on
the
north
side
of
scylla.
I
So
the
project
was
initiated
with
a
appropriation
of
370
000
for
design
in
the
fiscal
year,
2019
staff
at
that
time.
Well,
right
before
that
staff
had
applied
for
a
cal
oes
fema
hazard
mitigation
grant,
the
application
was
first
submitted
in
2017
and
through
the
course
of,
as
you
can
see
four
years
when
it
was
finally
awarded
2021,
the
representative
have
turned
over
in
cal
oes,
and
so
there
are
multiple
aerations
of
questions
to
the
designer
to
the
city,
and
so
after
the
designs
had
had
commenced.
I
There
were
additional
questions
from
fema
that
had
not
additional
originally
been
as
part
of
the
their
bryan
learners
agreement,
but
they
did
help
us
with
the
multiple
rounds
of
questions
that
cal
oes
had
for
the
city,
so
we
did
eventually,
fortunately
receive
a
grant.
The
total
eligible
expenses
were
approximately
1.6
million
dollars.
Of
that
cal
oes
would
provide
1.2
million
in
grants.
25
local
match
is
required,
and
so
25
on
that
1.6
million
is
approximately
400
thousand
dollars.
I
So
there
were
favorable
bid
results
when
we
opened
the
grant
or
sorry
we
opened
the
bids
and
the
total
project
costs
are
closer
to
1.455
million,
so
the
grant
is
anticipated
to
contribute
at
75
about
1
million,
90,
000
and
so
25
local
match
of
that
would
be
approximately
365
000
and
so,
as
you
can
tell,
with
the
operation
that
was
already
granted
or
by
council
for
the
design
and
that
pretty
much
at
the
time,
pretty
much
matches
our
grant
local
match,
and
so
at
this
time
we
are
not
requesting
any
additional
appropriations
for
this
project
to
look
forward
to
construction.
I
We
do
have
contingency
on
the
project
and
so
for
whatever
reason,
there's
something
really
unanticipated,
which
we
are
not
getting
away,
that
we've
done
the
design
that
that
should
not
happen.
But
if
that
were
to
happen
and
we
needed
to
utilize
additional
grant-
and
you
know
we
needed
a
more
additional
local
match-
we
would
come
back
to
council
at
that
time,
but
we
are
not
anticipating
that
occurrence.
So,
given
the
overall
funding,
I
believe
it's
favorable,
so
the
recommendations
from
staff
tonight
are
approved.
I
Adopting
a
resolution
to
approve
the
design
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
construction
contract
with
golden
bay
construction
for
the
spyglass
forum
drain
improvements
project
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
eight
hundred
five
thousand
three
hundred
and
ten
dollars
and
twenty
five
cents
approving
a
construction
management
inspection
agreement
with
canada
pacific
an
amount
to
exceed
ninety
nine
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
four
dollars-
and
this
is
for
construction
management
and
inspection,
approving
an
amendment
with
fryer
loretta
for
the
grant
support
services.
I
A
Or
both,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation
and
report
again.
The
grant
funding
is
always
nice
and
I
appreciate
that
it
shows
you
know
things
move
slow,
but
we
don't
give
up,
and
so
congratulations
on
that.
First,
we'll
open
it
up
to
our
two
colleagues
and
then
we'll
see
if
there's
anybody
from
the
public
who
wishes
to
speak
ultimate
medina.
F
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
I
remember
when
we
first
heard
about
this,
the
council-
and
it
was
like
wow
one
more
thing
in
our
stormwater
system
that
we
need
to
fix
and-
and
I
am
deeply
appreciative
of
the
efforts
to
get
the
the
grants
I
mean
those
are
significant.
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
quickly
go
back
to
the
to
the
overall
plan
of
what
is
being
replaced
just
quickly.
I
just
wanted
to
see
that
one
more
time.
F
And
I'm
getting
that
this
back
in
the
day
when
they
ever
they
built
that
in
the
50s
or
the
60s,
it
was
thought
no
problem,
don't
put
any
pipes
in
the
ground,
let's
just
put
the
houses
in
and
it's
going
to
be
good
all
right,
so
a
portion
of
that
is
recurring,
you're
in
place
and
then
you'll
slide
the
outs
out
of
the
way.
Okay
and
and
of
course
the
residents
will
be
notified
and
all
this
and
and
it's
going
to
be
it'll,
take
a
while
for
them
to
do
that.
F
So
thank
you
for
that.
I'm
in
support
of
this
project.
I
do
have
a
question
for
staff
regarding
just
the
status
of
our
stormwater
enterprise
fund,
of
taking
the
hit
and-
and
I
think
this
is
lower
than
we
might
have
been
thinking
that
it
would
be
especially
getting
the
grant.
So
we
just
wanted
to
see
how.
A
That
affects
our
our
balance
there
and
it's
just
another
portion
of
this
one.
We
were
able
to
get
some
money
for
it,
but
I'll
leave
it
at
that
for
now.
So
thank
you
very
much.
G
Hey
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this.
I
just
I
guess
I
wanted
to
ask
them
similar
to
my
previous
questions
in
the
staff
report.
There's
a
reference
to
the
2014
muscle
plan,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
why
this
project,
as
opposed
to
others
that
were
mentioned
in
the
master
plan.
I
Yes,
and
so
the
master
plan
really
looks
at
the
trunk
system,
and
so
this
particular
location
is
an
isolate
location.
It
does
flood,
but
it
does
not
aim
to
necessarily
model
the
entire
system.
It
mainly
models
the
the
trunk
system,
and
so
as
these
particular
locations
are
identified,
the
needs
are
are
recognized,
but
this
with
separate
separate
recognition
and
effort
outside
the
master
plan
itself.
F
Yeah
and
just
to
add
to
deputy
ritchie's.
F
Mr
mayor
couldn't
hear
all
that
it
kind
of
got
chopped
up
a
little
bit.
It
didn't
sound.
A
Like
it
was
important
directly,
you
froze
a
little
bit.
So
that's
what
council
members
referenced.
A
Okay
city
manager,
yeah,
oh,
I
believe
what
the
director
lee
was
going
to
say
is
that
we
have
received
a
number
of
complaints
from
this
neighborhood
about
flooding
that
occurs.
The
council
may
remember
in
2019
former
director,
jimmy
tan
would
show
a
video
of
flooding
in
this
particular
neighborhood,
and
the
flooding
is
typically
so
so
severe
that
we.
G
For
the
last
several
years
have
been
sandbagging
one
neighbor's
home
every
winter,
and
now
I
think
we're
sandbagging
two
homes
every
winter,
just
to
prevent
from
flooding,
and
I
do
know
that
there
is
one
property
on
spyglass
that
has
flooded
twice
both
involving
insurance
claims
that
that,
thankfully,
did
not
involve
the
city
of
those
times,
but
largely
due
to
the
cooling
of
storm
water
and
the
deficiency
of
the
system
in
this
area.
G
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
so
this,
because
in
the
amount
it
says
that
this
area
was
excluded
from
the
master
plan,
so
I
so
I'm
going
to
support
this
item
tonight,
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
or
is
it
taking
the
place
of
something
else,
that's
in
the
master
plan.
As
far
as
funding
goes,
what
does
that
mean
that
it's
not
part
of
the
master
plan
and
that
we're
being
asked
now
to
approve
it
as
opposed
to
what's
already
listed
in
the
master
plan,
is
what
we
need
to
focus
on.
G
C
When
we
provided
previous
presentations
on
the
master
plan,
once
a
few
of
the
statements
that
have
been
made
of,
for
example,
the
30
million
dollars
in
five
decks
that
were
that
were
that
was
identified
in
the
master
plan,
I
believe
in
2017
that's
sort
of
the
the
known
known.
There
are
still
known
unknowns,
which
are
improvements
that
are
needed
to
some
of
the
residential
stormwater
streets,
of
which
this
would
would
apply.
C
G
And
so
that's
why
this
project
was
advanced
and
a
grant
was
applied
for
the
local
match
is
approximately
100
or
375
000
total
project
just
under
1.5,
and
so
it
is
a
critical
need,
but
there
are
projects
that
are
not
included
in
the
master
plan
that
are
not
included
in
the
master
plan.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
public
works
staff
for
your
presentations
and
time
this
evening.
We'll
now
move
on
to
item
nine
comments
from
council
members.
A
G
12
proposals
were
submitted
in
response
and
staff
identified
that
seven
methods
of
the
rfp
on
january
25th
2022,
the
council.
We
all
approved
a
resolution
authorizing
city
manager
to
execute
a
contract
with
west
code
consult
west
coast
code
consultant
in
an
amount
not
to
do
250
000
to
perform
as
needed
professional
services.
At
the
time.
It
was
not
clear
that
these
professional
services
would
include
providing
inspections
to
downtown
businesses
that
were
opening.
G
Since
then,
it
had
been
made
clear
that
west
coast
code
consultants
are
providing
building
inspection
services
downtown
to
essentially
fill
in
for
needs
of
staffing
shortages
that
we've
been
having.
Since
january,
I've
heard
a
number
of
complaints
of
the
onerous
process
business
owners
are
going
through
to
pass
building
inspections.
G
G
We
don't
have
an
overwhelming
number
of
vendors
opening
businesses
and
I'm
really
hopeful
that
the
contractor
of
the
city
of
san
bruno
would
provide
this
presentation,
hopefully
at
no
cost
to
the
to
the
city,
just
because
it's
really
just
giving
us
an
overview
of
what
services
are
being
provided,
that
the
city
is
paying
for,
but
this
because
it
includes
anything
from
behind
the
counter
services.
G
So
this
is
a
request
to
ask
the
existing
third
party
contract
that
we
selected
west
coast
code
consultants
to
provide
a
walkthrough
of
their
process,
what
it
takes
to
open
the
business,
how
long?
How
long?
How
and
how
the
city
complements
the
third
party,
so
their
assistance
needed
from
the
city
or
vice
versa,
is
there
additional
assistance,
that's
being
provided
that?
G
Maybe
we
don't
know
about
we're
not
hearing
about,
but
this
request
is
solely
for
the
third
party,
knowing
that
the
city
staff
right
now
is
at
capacity,
so
just
to
be
more
specific
counsel
would
be
enhanced
by
knowing
the
process
from
the
time
the
permit
is
submitted
for
approval.
What
is
the
timeline?
F
F
This
is
one
of
the
things
that
the
downtown
improvement
committee
was
was
was
kind
of
doing.
F
We,
we
interview
those
that
are
willing
business
owners
to
ask
them
as
they,
after
opening
their
business.
How
was
the
experience
and
we
have
not
yet
reported
back?
I
think
this
is
timely.
F
It
may
be
stretching
out
and
I'd
like
to
hear
the
city
manager's
response,
the
idea
of
how
we
could
make
it
easier
and
to
assist
business,
small
business
owners
to
open
our
downtown
and
there's
a
lot
of
problems
with
that
and
my
observation
from
being
on
a
council
and
also
being
a
former
employee
here,
is
that
when
you
have
an
old
downtown-
and
you
have
these
old
buildings-
that,
as
you
try
to
to
start
peeling
away
layers
of
walls,
you're
finding
things
that
you,
you
didn't
know
were
appropriate
or
that
were
installed
correctly.
F
So
there's
something
with
that.
But
nonetheless,
I
I
do
want
to
hear
from
our
city
manager,
because
we
not
only
had
have
tom,
and
I
interviewed
a
handful
of
businesses
that
open,
but
of
some
of
the
businesses
that
are
currently
trying
open
and
that
information
has
been
passed
along
to
to
the
city
manager
and
to
the
community
development
department.
A
But
it's
it's
a
pretty
complicated
endeavor
to
open
a
new
business
in
an
old
building,
but
I'll
refrain
from
commenting
further
until
we
get
here
back
from
our
city
matters,
councilmember
hamilton.
Do
you
mind
if
we
pause
on
you?
Okay,
thank
you,
city
manager.
Sure
thank
you,
mayor
medina
members,.
C
Of
the
city
council
on
vice
mayor
mason,
it's
important
to
note
that
the
third-party
contract
that
tracks
the
third-party
contract
that
have
been
referenced
wwc3
does
provide
a
number
of
services
to
our
community
and
economic
development
department.
Both
counter
support,
building
inspection
and
building
inspection
support,
in
particular,
which
are
the
services
that
were
mentioned.
C
C
I
think
the
request
to
have
the
third
party
contractor
come
to
the
city
council
and
provide
a
presentation
on
how
they
support
businesses
and
what
was
articulated
was
actually
more
of
the
overall
process
of
how
the
city
supports
businesses,
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
this
consultant
only
provides
one
piece
of
the
service,
and
so
what
I,
what
I,
what
I'm
interpreting
the
ask
of
for
the
city
council
to
have
a
presentation
on
how
the
city
supports
businesses,
both
at
the
counter
and
inspections,
and
how
the
city
supports
businesses
to
open
in
san
bruno?
C
If
that's
the
intent,
it's
a
much
larger
presentation.
It
certainly
involves
staff,
because
again,
this
consultant
provides
one
piece
as
a
supplement
to
what
we
do
and
they
are
not
knowledgeable
on
on
all
facets
of
how
the
city
supports
businesses.
C
I
remember
saying
to
to
the
city
council,
when
I
took
this
job
a
little
bit
over
three
and
a
half
years
ago,
that
there's
an
entire
department
missing
in
the
city
and
that's
called
economic
development.
At
that
time,
the
community
services,
the
community
and
economic
development
department
was
called
community
services
and
to
this
day
there
is
not
one
single
position
in
this
city
that
has
dedicated
full-time
economic
development.
C
What
the
city
council
has
done
in
recognition
of
that
is
that
you
have
funded
a
economic
development
manager
position
that
we
have
been
recruiting
for
and
have
had
actually
two
candidates
back
out
of
the
process
for
various
reasons,
but
we
all
know
of
the
cost
of
living
in
the
peninsula
and
the
difficulty
to
attract
employees,
not
just
for
san
bruno
but
but
for
other
cities,
so
that
it
continues
to
be
a
heart
disposition,
and
certainly
I
am
the
first
to
admit
that
we
need
to
help
our
businesses
more,
in
particular
our
small
and
medium-sized
businesses,
and
help
businesses
open
not
only
downtown
but
elsewhere
in
san
bruno.
C
That
is
a
multi-faceted
multi-prong
conversation
and
I
think
the
request
to
have
one
contractor
that
supports
us
in
that
process
may
not
provide
the
city
council
with
the
full
complement
of
information
that
you
would
need
to
truly
assess
the
process.
Now,
there's
a
desire
to
have
that
conversation
as
a
city
manager.
F
F
It's
important
to
note
that
you
know
when,
when
a
business
owner
has
trouble
getting
through
and
getting
getting
through
and
getting
open,
sometimes
it's
because
they're
not
following
the
directions
that
that
happens,
but
we
are
seeing
examples
where
they're
doing
everything
that
they're
being
told
and
that
and
the
posts
in
their
mind
in
their
views
seem
to
be
moving
and
those
are
those
are
the
areas
where
I
really
think
that
we
that
we
need
to
to
focus
and
make
improvements,
and
it
would
be
beneficial
at
least
to
me
to
understand.
F
You
know
how,
if,
if
I
was
to
go
open
a
new
business,
how
do
I
know
what
I
need
to
do?
Is
there
checklist?
Is
there
a
list
of
things
that
that
that
is
provided?
That's
that's
clear,
and
then
you
know.
Obviously
you
know,
as
as
was
stated
earlier,
there's
a
lot
of
old
buildings
here,
that
that
checklist
can't
possibly
cover
everything
and-
and
so
there's
gonna
be
stuff.
That
comes
up
on
that
first
inspection,
that
that
that
you
know
may
end
up
being
a
surprise.
F
But
another
area
where
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
focus
is
to
make
sure
that
between
the
first
inspection
and
the
second
inspection
that
that
first
inspection
was
complete
because
we
are
hearing,
you
know
that
that
when,
when
the
the
inspector
comes
back
for
the
second
inspection,
sometimes
it's
not
even
the
same.
F
It's
not
the
same
person,
which
is
you
know
that
happens
for
staffing
or
whatever,
but
that
during
the
second
inspection,
something
that
could
have
been
identified
in
the
first
inspection
is
then
identified,
and
now
there
that's
adding
more
time
and
the
the
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
that,
in
many
cases
these
small
businesses
are,
you
know,
they're
they're
people
they're
in
all
cases,
they're
paying
rent
they're
they're,
have
they
they
have
to
maintain
their
utilities
and
their
rent
and
everything,
while
they're
trying
to
get
open
and
they're
getting
no
revenue
because
they
can't
open.
F
Yet
so
you
know,
I'm
I'm
absolutely
in
favor
of
finding
out
more.
I
understand
what
the
what
the
city
manager
just
articulated
that
that
we
won't
get
the
whole
picture
if
it's
just
a
presentation
from
wc3
and
that
that
that's
I
I
understand
that.
But
if
you
know
that
can
be
supplemented
with
with
whatever
work
that
would
be
needed
from
staff
in
order
just
to
give
us
a
good
picture
of
what
process
looks
like,
I
would
be
supportive.
G
I
would
just
consent,
I'm
okay,
with
the
narrative
request.
I
don't
want
to
put
exposed
stuff
to
like
the
additional
work
that
I
would
be
interested
in.
Narrowed
requests.
A
Yeah,
you
know
the
narrowed.
I
would
like
to
take
a
city
manager's
recommendation
of
the
narrowed
request,
understanding
getting
that
together
at
a
time.
That's
simple!
In
addition,
I
agree
with
the
city
manager.
That
again,
I
know
you're
saying
something
to
have.
Anybody
should
be
for
all
businesses
in
the
city
of
san
bruno
they're,
they're,
all
important
everybody
matters
here,
and
so
I
would
like
it
to
be
very
and
inclusive
because
I'm
sure
others,
you
know
even
where
dawn
pickles
was.
Maybe
that's
why
you
know
it's
taken
a
while.
A
I
don't
know,
but
I
forgot
castle
member
hamilton.
I
think
you
you
hit
it
perfectly
when
you
say
it's
like
peeling
the
onion,
so
you're
going
into
an
establishment
and
you're
saying
oh,
this
should
be
relatively
easy
to
bring
it
back
up
to
speed
to
open
a
new
business,
and
sometimes
it
just
lends
into
so
many
other
things.
So
thank
you.
Councilmember
medina.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
for
the
reminder
and
we
are
the
downtown
improvement
committee,
but
we
we
have
spoken
to
owners
that
in
town's
center
you
know
the
kt
toast,
I
think
that's
what
it
was.
A
fantastic
spot
had
no
problems
whatsoever.
F
So
thank
you
for
that
and
after
hearing
from
from
most
of
my
colleagues,
I
think
a
short
presentation
of
would
be
fine,
but
it's
really.
The
larger
thing
is
that
we
don't
have
staff
to
assist
to
do
that.
Additional
amount
of
assistance
of
assistance,
maybe
a
little
hannibal
to
to
walk
these
new
business
owners
through
the
process.
F
So
I'm
fine
with
moving
ahead
with
with
the
with
the
limited
scope
and
I'm
sure
we'll
have
to
address
the
staffing
situation
being
that
we've
been
trying
to
get
this
the
higher
level.
And
how
else
can
we
move
forward
and
looking
at
that
during
our
budget?
F
We're
kind
of
we're
kind
of
getting
out
of
phase
here,
and
but
it's
noted
that
there
has
been
a
a
number
of
issues.
So
I'm
in
favor
of
moving.
A
City
manager
is
at
the
podium
I
like
to
call
on
him
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
vice
mayor
yeah.
I
think
my
question
has
just
been
answered,
but
I
stood
up
again
just
to
ask
for.
C
A
clear
definition
of
what
a
narrowly
tailored
presentation
is,
because
I've
been
at
this
for
a
while,
and
I
know
that
when
someone
stands
in
front
of
the
city
council,
the
questions
can
go
abroad
right
and
if
we're
asking
for
a
vendor
to
come
in
present
to
the
city
council
on
their
work,
I
think
that
it
should
be
narrowly
tailored
and
we
can
provide
the
city
council
ahead
of
time
with
the
scope
of
work
of
the
services
they
provide.
C
But
again
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
what
we're
really
talking
about
here
is
an
economic
development
program
and
having
a
ombudsman
to
really
shepherd
our
small
and
local
businesses
through
the
process,
which
is
the
city
council
has
mentioned
before.
Staff
wholeheartedly
agrees
with,
and
you
have
provided
funding
for
a
position
that
we
have
yet
to
hire
to
develop
that
program.
And
so
I
know
that
there
are
frustrations
because
we
do
not,
as
a
city,
have
an
economic
development
program.
C
One
of
the
first
things
I
did
was
retitle
the
department
to
to
put
economic
development
in
their
title,
and
we
and
the
director
will
serve
that
economic
development
purpose
for
the
city.
But
we
are
missing
it
on
the
small
and
local
businesses
and
we
need
that.
Ombudsman,
absolutely
110
percent.
C
That's
why
we
adopted
the
position
and-
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
what
you
mean
by
a
narrowly
tailored
presentation
is
that
we
will
invite
a
vendor
that
provides
services
to
the
council
to
present
on
the
services
that
they
provide
and
answer.
Questions
specifically
on
those
services
know
that
that
will
not
give
you
the
larger
complement
of
how
the
city
supports
businesses
and
all
the
various
steps
the
business
might
go
through.
C
And
if,
at
that
meeting,
there
will
be
questions
and
you
will
want
staff
to
get
up
and
respond
to
know
that
that's
going
to
require
work
right.
And
you
know
it's
my
duty
to
have
the
conversation
with
staff
and
make
sure
that
we're
prepared
for
those
questions.
And
so
I
I'm
saying
this
because
the
narrow
presentation
on
the
diet
can
become
that
broad
presentation,
because
there
are
going
to
be
questions
that
this
consultant
can't
answer.
A
I
appreciate
you
stepping
into
the
podium
and
asking
and
making
sure
that
we're
all.
On
the
same
page,
I
appreciate
that
vice
mayor.
G
Yeah,
I
think,
for
narrow
presentations,
really,
how
are
they
assisting
small
business
owners
and
by
all
means
that
includes
the
rest
of
the
city,
but
I've
received
three
complaints
now
and
considering.
There's
not
that
many
businesses
opening
in
downtown,
I
thought
three
was
was
a
lot
I
mean
there's.
G
Maybe
three
businesses
opening
so
so
I'd
be
interested
in
them
coming
in
talking
about
what
their
experience
has
been
in
san
bruno
thus
far
as
it
pertains
to
small
businesses
and
well
well,
I
do
agree
that
phenom,
like
ideally
we'll,
have
an
economic
development
person.
I
also
think
that
people
at
the
encounter
whom
I
believe
that
this
third
party
contractor
is
also
providing
counter
services
can
very
easily
say
this.
Is
you
know
the
standard
right?
G
G
F
So
the
vice
mayor
said
most
most
of
what
I
was
gonna
say.
The
the
the
key
pieces
of
it
are
things
that,
if
the,
if
the
consultants
are
being
backups
at
the
counter
and
are
out
doing
the
inspections,
the
key
things
for
me
as
part
of
this
presentation,
three
things
that
they
should
be
able
to
do,
which
is
how
do
we
inform
a
new
applicant
of
all
the
things
that
he
you
know
need
to
do?
What
is
that
checklist
or
whatever
it
is?
F
F
How
do
we
ensure
that
the
what
what
what
standards
are
in
place
to
make
sure
that
the
inspection
process
is
thorough,
especially
on
that
first
inspection
and
and
and
consistent,
so
that
if
a
different
instructor
comes
back
for
the
for
the
second
inspection
they're,
not
finding
stuff
that
the
first
ex
inventor
missed
and
because
they're
out
doing
the
inspections?
F
A
A
We
can
certainly
provide
that
guidance
and
invite
the
contractor
to
provide
a
presentation
on
that
I'll
leave
it
there
yeah,
because
I
think
also
what
we're
asking
is
well,
okay,
if,
if
they're
contracted,
which
they
have
a
contract
and
they're
due
ada
m
whatever
it
is
and
now
we're
asking
so
how
are
they
going
and
walking
the
business
owner
through
various
elements?
I
know
I've
heard
from
not
this
contractor,
but
sometimes
somebody
comes
to
the
counter,
and
maybe
they
don't
convey
everything
that
they're
wishing
to
do
within
the
business.
A
And
so
then
they
come
back
to
the
counter
are
frustrated.
But
then
there
were
elements
that
were
left
out.
So
I
think
there's
it's
it's.
I
think
we're
asking
kind
of
a
little
bit
of
saying
but
tell
us
what
you've
heard.
That
was
what
you
feel
you
do
this
elsewhere
and
you
know
how's
it
going.
I
think.
That's
what
we're
seeming
to
want!
What
you
know
is
what
I'm
kind
of
sensing
from
counsel
kind
of
that
you
know
for
mayor.
I
I.
C
Would
agree
with
that,
but
but
candidly,
what
I'm
also
hearing
is
that
we've
heard
complaints,
and
so
we
want
the
contractor
to
come
and
explain
their
process,
and
so
it
it
feels
a
little
bit
like.
We
want
to.
C
We've
heard
complaints
about
a
specific
contractor's
work,
and
we
would
like
that
contractor
to
come
to
the
city
council
and
our
and
articulate,
and
I
think
that
there's
a
challenge
with
that,
because,
if
we're
going
to
talk
specifics,
there
are
many
many
nuances
around
particular
instances,
and
I
don't
think
that
the
appropriate
space
for
that
should
be
a
contractor
presenting
in
public
to
the
city
council
about
specific
instances.
C
And
so
what
I've
heard
is
the
desire
for
a
general
presentation
on
the
work
the
contractor
does
and
how
they
support
businesses
that
come
to
the
counter
and
how
they
address
inspections
we
can
do.
The
contractor
can
do
that.
The
only
point
that
I
was
making
is
that
it
should
be
very
narrowly
tailored
on
the
work
that
they
do
and
not
go
into
any
specifics
on
any
particular.
A
Thank
you.
I
think
you
said
you
articulated
that
well
and
I
would
agree
we're
not
to
get
into
specifics
in
a
certain
person's
business
or
this,
or
that
I
mean
that's
not
appropriate
to
be
hearing
that
that
that's
that's.
We
have
to
respect
everyone's
right
and
privacy
etc.
So
the
way
you
articulated
it
city
manager,
that's
what
I
envision.
My
other
colleagues
can
say
yes
or
no,
or
I
have
a
yes
for
mr
hamilton.
G
No
just
just
a
couple
of
quick
updates
I'll
get
all
mine
out
right
now,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
past
weekend
I
was
invited
a
few
months.
I
had
actually
been
invited
a
few
months
ago
to
attend
a
show
which
I
attended
this
past
weekend
called
dear
san
francisco.
It's
really.
B
G
Letter
to
san
francisco
with
a
group
of
people,
but
little
did,
I
know
that
we'd
be
a
group
of
all
san
bernardino
residents
in
all
of
this
amazing
show
what
was
really
neat
about.
The
show
is
that
one
of
the
performers,
actually
one
of
the
stars
in
the
show
who
had
also
starred
in
cirque
du
soleil,
is
a
san
bernar,
native
and
resident
who
came
out
and
her
name
is
maya
kesselman
and
she
was
just
phenomenal.
G
I
mean
I
can't
even
express
how
amazing
this
the
show
was,
and
so
anyway
I
wanted
to
thank
staff
and
the
mayor
for
preparing
an
acknowledgement
and
a
certificate
that
I
was
able
to
present
to
her,
and
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
recommend
if
you
haven't
seen
it
see
it
because
it's
not
only
neat
to
see
you
know
what
the
human
body
can
do,
but
it's
also
really
neat
to
see
a
fellow
resident
up
there
and
really
to
see
somebody.
That's
that's
so
talented
and
amazing.
G
You
know
making
and
living
their
dream,
so
highly
recommend
it.
If
you
haven't
seen
it.
I
also
wanted
just
to
thank
staff
for
flying
the
ukrainian
flag.
As
a
follow-up
to
our
last
meeting,
I
saw
it
and
I
still
continue
to
hope
for
peace
and
then.
Lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
our
assistant
city
manager,
jeffrey
brazil,
who's
going
to
be
departing
from
the
city
family,
and
she
has
just
been
you.
G
I
should
say
you
as
if
we're
in
the
same
room,
but
have
been
instrumental
in
reviewing
and
applying
our
city's
policies.
Our
procedures,
you've
truly
enhanced
the
human
resources
department,
and
I
think
that
your
presence
within
san
bruno
has
been
very
I
I
would
say,
even
though
not
evident,
because
you
not
speak
as
much
as
I
do,
but
I
will
say
it's
been.
G
We
have
seen
the
results
I've
seen
you
provide
support
to
the
senior
team,
you've
engaged
wholeheartedly
in
negotiations
with
an
employee,
first
mentality
and
you've
really
guided
the
city
with
the
consistently
changing
rules
throughout
the
kovid
19
pandemic,
which
is
probably
one
of
the
most
challenging
times
in
history
to
be
not
just
in
hr
but
leading
a
city
team.
So
I
just
wanted
to
really
thank
you
and
I'm
sure
we
all
thank
you,
but
we,
you
know
especially
now,
for
your
public
service
and
wish
you
well
in
your
future
endeavors.
H
Yeah,
that's
a
good
one,
a
few
things.
The
first
thing
is
second
harvest
is
tomorrow
at
bel
air
from.
F
From
one
to
1
45
to
4
o'clock,
where
at
least
200
families
will
be
receiving
groceries,
also
penn
beller's
at
350
3rd
avenue,
also
tomorrow,
the
weekly
distribution
at
skyline,
where
a
thousand
families
get
food
every
week
that
starts
at
11
o'clock,
the
lines
can
get
pretty
long
there
so
plan.
Accordingly,
I
received
an
email.
F
I
think
that
was
yesterday
about
how
it's
grand
opening
day
at
lara
field
on
this
saturday,
the
braves
who
are
champions
of
the
pee-wees
they
did,
they
did
beat
us
and
they
are
playing
the
huts.
The
parade
is
at
11
o'clock.
F
The
game
is
at
two
o'clock,
and
I
mean
I
love
baseball,
but
there's
something
even
more
special
about
somebody
baseball
and
you
know
the
little
ones
in
their
little
uniforms.
I
mean
it's
like
my
son
is
already
it's
already
nine
now
and
that
those
times
are
lost
as
growing
up.
So
I
encourage
you.
If
you
can
make
it
it's
a
wonderful
experience,
they
will
have
the
snack
bar
open
that
was
renovated
by
the
lions
and
the
san
bernardino
community
foundation.
F
Come
off
of
mute
and
to
my
standard
background,
plug
hang
on
a
moment
there
we
go.
So
I
wanted
to
invite
everyone
to
this
saturday
in
our
downtown
san
bruno
life,
who
is
karen.
Cunningham,
has
organized
the
downtown
san
bruno
stroll
where
free
businesses
are
participating.
F
You
start
at
the
grand
leader
and
and
pick
up
a
pick
up
your
ticket
and
then
we're
going
to
do
a
a
long,
a
long,
walk
up
down
the
avenue
and
back
up
again
ending
at
atlas
pizza,
lounge
and
stopping
at
businesses
along
the
way,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
fun
and
it's
a
great
way
to
come
out
and
support
our
local
businesses
and
learn
about
what
great
businesses
we
have
downtown
so
encourage
everybody
to
come
out.
F
This
is
it's
starting
at
one
o'clock
at
grand
leader
market
in
downtown
san
bruno,
and
I'd
also
like
to
just
very
quickly
say
thank
you
to
our
assistant
city
manager,
brazil.
I
my
my
comments
would
never
be
nearly
as
eloquent
as
our
vice
mayor.
So
I
will
just
simply
say
thank
you
for
for
your
your
your
patience
and
dedication
to
our
city,
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best
on
your
on
your
next
chapter.
A
Any
other
comments
from
council
members
I'll
go
ahead.
Councilmember
medina
already
hit
on
the
youth
baseball
and
yes,
it's
nice
to
have
it
back.
I
had
gone
to
the
girls,
softball
league
opener
and
equally
as
exciting
and
enthusiastic
to
see
all
the
players
and
actually
artichoke
joe's,
who
sponsored
the
entire
the
uniforms
and
sponsored
all
wings
this
year
and
also,
I
believe,
donating
something
to
over
in
the
baseball
marty
would
know
better
at
bellar
lionsfield.
A
So
I
think
that's
great,
but
it
is
nice
to
see
that
and
the
the
excitement
of
that
happening
again.
Also
this
friday
meeting
with
the
state
senator
and
some
other
folks-
and
this
will
be
a
round
table
this-
is
to
try
to
look
toward
a
state
level.
As
far
as
funding
for
great
separations.
As
we
know,
the
great
separation
of
san
bruno
was
almost
all
paid
for
by
others
than
the
city
of
san
bruno.
However,
now
they're
300
million
dollars
and
usually
you
get
maybe
half
you
can
get
some
for
funding.
A
So
the
state
senator-
and
I
were
talking
about
that
and,
as
you
know,
we
have
something
in
south
city
in
san
bruno.
If
there's
opportunities
for
us,
so
I
will
be
embarking
upon
that
with
him
and
certainly
can
tell
the
san
bernardino
story
how
it
makes
a
huge
difference
for
safety
for
residents
and
travelers
and
then
also
to
the
assistant
city
manager.
Wish
you
the
very
best
safe
travels.
Thank
you
for
your
time
here.
I
know.
A
Maybe
it's
not
as
long
as
we
had
wished,
but
at
the
same
time
I
think
your
care
and
your
concern
and
your
compassion
through
that
time
trying
to
bring
things
up
and
policies
revisited.
As
you
know,
things
go
along
a
process
and
they
keep
going,
and
sometimes
we
don't
pause
to
reflect
back
to
say
you
know.
Where
do
we
need
to
go
and,
as
I
saluted
earlier,
the
covet
at
any
time
for
anyone
and
assistant
city
manager
hr
to
embark
upon?
A
That
is
something
that
you
know
you
would
have
never
thought
coming
in
and
you
got
to
negotiate
contracts
for
the
city
too,
so
in
in
the
time
you've
been
here,
you've
touched
many
things
and
improved
upon
the
system,
the
process
and
the
policies.
A
So
my
best
wishes
to
you
and
your
family
and
to
your
feet
so
with
that,
if
there's
nothing
else,
colleagues
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
adjourn
to
the
next
regular
city
council
meeting,
which
will
be
held
on
april.
The
12th
2022
at
7
00
pm
have
a
good
night
and
have
a
good
rest
of
the
week.
