If I come over going to interview.

B

Okay, so I should also point out on this slide that well there's an awful lot to this 4.1 billion dollar budget. Most of the attention is really focused that portion of the circle- the blue shaded portion in the upper right corner, called the general fund.

B

That's the 1.1 billion dollar working this budget, that's where most of the city services upon which residents are typically think of when, when we think about the city and the services we provide through it within the general fund and those are the most flexible dollars we have within our city, they fund services like police, fire and libraries park, maintenance and a host of other basic services with dollars that are not restricted in any way.

A

Nukem type I can give them crocodile. You can pat, hey ki ki Kui to machermo pay the Maquis console, oh, no, a larger convict important for you can sack till the booting the commune back. When you can connect things. I can clean your hand. I can burn all the comparator that you engage of see which I'm not going wrong.

B

I'm sorry I was on mute different moment. I'm gonna interrupt the the presentation for just a moment. I wanted to ask because I'm hoping that our interpreters might be able to ask this question in Vietnamese. I looked at the list of our our guests today, and it may be the case that there are there. There may not be people actually need Vietnamese, translation and so I just want to ask. If our translators could ask whether there are individuals who would prefer to have it means translation that will help us.

C

You know we can ask if there is any Vietnamese participants in the audience right, yeah.

B

Dude collegues vietnamese speakers, specifically okay,.

A

Go ahead, see if you can do that, doctors.

C

In conjunct with me, I know, I think we italic gotten by chanting. They take home same query, chobe.

B

A

C

Nobody's well actually.

B

There are participants, I just want to confirm here and Henry's gonna help me by having a bit of a problem here with this list.

B

It do the participant list there we go. If anyone would like Vietnamese translation, we are just going to ask them to raise their hand, that is virtually that is an icon and Henry. Were you able to identify folks who would prefer translation, okay, okay, we're going to proceed with beating me translation because we do have participants would prefer any translation. So that's what we'll do? Okay.

B

All right and then we'll we'll continue them with a slide. There are two other portions of this budget that comprise a very large share of our revenue, my expenditures that are very restricted and, for the most part, don't get discussed.

B

When is the capital funds? You see that in orange the 1 billion dollars, those are typically $50 under federal or state or the construction of capital buildings. You know for the purchase of land and they are, for example, fees. It might be paid by a developer that could be used for the construction of parks or the construction of affordable housing and those are restricted within the capital funds budget and if I could have everyone, including our interpreters, to please shoot their mics if they're typing. That would be helpful. Thank you. Okay and superior IQ.

B

Translate there sure.

A

I'll go ahead. Do that Adam gave I'm gong to take me from my camera Leclerc. We we both black cool. Thank you doctor, daylight, your to know her solitude all because they would up teaching that go Hank. That was a everything Donna, Joey bang come okay, yeah yeah.

B

Okay, we are, and then finally, this green portion of the circle is called special funds. This is two billion dollars or forty nine percent, just about half of the budget or what we call special funds. These are funds that are within specific enterprises in the city that are also restricted under state or federal law. Give you a couple of examples: things like our operation of our Airport, our electricity utility, our waste control, water and waste control plant.

B

These are operations that are entirely self-sufficient, that is, their user fees that help to provide this service, for example, at the airport. It might be passenger fees or airline fees or rental car facility fees and under federal law there's it can only be used at the airport and so again, they're restricted funds. They operate those specific enterprises and we don't take those dollars and then pull them into the general fund to pay for libraries or police officers into.

A

Oblivion, if I'm donkey mouse and like I did I like would way left behind a year coming on, but even though they can I can confirm the cookie enough I'm. Looking back, I can I deduct lucky day. Welcome young Hank, Lucy, okay! Ding-Dong! Do you think when you free to walk a lot, I? Think you're being a a new rack bike, I'm on a link, wanker key key key to turn a big footprint in court and fall?

A

But you see you'll be thinking I, don't they make it a fee to whom say and I keep the compact? Okay, you don't make it off I! Concur! They know. Ok, whack is what you do.

B

Okay and I want to apologize under the slides or Pechanga we're gonna skip ahead here, so we all right estimated shortfall for the current year. That is I'm. Sorry for the the current year, which were still in I should say that ends June 30th, there's about forty five million dollars and that forty five million dollar shortfall was solved a couple weeks ago with the actions of the council, primarily using reserves that we built up during some of the good years in the past and some of the Federer's, and so we've addressed that shortfall.

B

Now we have another. Seventy two million dollar deficit that we have to solve for the year beginning July 1st and that is primarily a result of a very steep drop in revenue. Revenues dropped more than nine percent compared to what a couple years ago, that's roughly twice the level of drop that we encountered in the Great Recession. All of these, of course, are estimates and the loss may be much worse as we get into the next year. We'll learn a lot more in the next few weeks.

C

Coq au vin inquiry, none I, don't I, didn't like it. Oh wow Colton saw Pamela Tatum shouting. Oh, we love you, but you got eyes on me. Okay, then good system, hot dog, but no, no, my mouth ate Almighty takasu thumbhole by me, hi to you, but you pal, but it is Jean. Whoa disease, I'm Ching for Jim Jamm, saw this on to numb hangin with a machine Camuto cute rental gotta go it alone, jumped up like a jumper. Come okay delay taught me a hammer in ansan jump.

B

So I'm going to describe how we resolve this or proposed to resolve this budget deficit for the upcoming year and after I discussed that, then we'll go right to your questions and comments. Those.

C

Thoughts a doing it cuz I could attack a sitcom, Houghton, Ibis okidata, gym class. Any time didn't go home as I die. All.

B

Right so for this next year, we're essentially addressing the sixty-two I'm sorry, seventy-two million dollar deficit, the combination of what we call one-time dollars and ongoing solutions. Let me describe what I mean by one-time dollars: they're, typically, either savings or cuts that will or revenue sources and that are only available to us in a single year that may address a single years gap, but obviously we won't be able to rely on those sources of revenue in upcoming years. So, for example, we've got a very creative finance team.

B

That's refunding and refinancing your City Hall debt that will generate about twenty five million dollars in savings, we're also using reserves that we have built up very diligently in recent years during the good years to help soften the blow of a downturn.

C

Can balance a teaching taka? You could not because I bought land virtuosity of nicotine picker John, you kid! No so, but you say you become citizens of new quality care. Nam. Hang on hang on, hang on, hang more verses! Oh he's a tool. They owned it like an Sun Rise on you. Entire countries are GTO quit you, but.

B

Those one year, fun sources are not gonna solve an ongoing budget deficit, which is really what we are going to have as we do in any recession. We have a fundamental challenge of simply having not enough revenue to match our spending, and so we need ongoing solutions, and that means, of course, their budget cuts and reductions in service, but we're also trying to find ongoing solutions in other, more creative ways, for example by using some window time dollars to pay down debt that will reduce our ongoing financing costs.

B

As we are in a couple places as a result of my budget message in March or paying off some debt, we had, for example, on some city open space or laying the golf courses as well as some energy contracts, and then we're also engaging in creative partnerships with the private sector. One in particular, with company eBay, enables us to recapture revenue from sales commercial sales on the eBay site that will soften the blow for us by about 20 million dollars a year thanks to a creative work of our city team so altogether.

B

That will enable us to help get through this deficit, at least based on its current projected level, and it's going to require roughly 20 million dollars in and reductions in cost to service wine.

C

I would learn to become cookies. I sat down to create new table times it book to cut one can for bottom.

C

They trace onto will email by nicotine dick a little bit channel, so invited you desire exam Delhi chill chill day. Madam Jackie Street hiking day night.

B

So we'll see what that looks like now across the organization. This is one snapshot in several departments in places like police, fire, economic development, Parks and Rec, and libraries about a hundred and three positions will be eliminated. The good news is, there are not actually human beings that will be laid off and there no full-time employees that will be laid off. We are furthering time employees, but the full-time positions will remain. It so happens that we had a fair number of vacancies because of challenges in hiring, so we're going to eliminate some of those vacancies.

B

Essentially, those are positions that will take out of our budget that will help save dollars without reducing the actual level of service.

C

Mozza yongi embankment got an fall back exam mutiny Banyan. So what and for the example take so much of joy, so.

B

As we think about a couple examples of service reductions that were grappling with, that will impact our residents. Let me first describe what's happening in our Police Department. As many of you know, we've worked diligently to rebuild our Police Department since the Great Recession in just the last four years, or so. We've added a net of more than 250 police officers. They're sworn we also create a community service officer program that has been very helpful in supporting our our badge. Wearing officers are sworn officers.

B

Community service officers essentially perform a lot of Public Safety tasks that don't involve hazardous functions. They don't carry badges or guns, but they perform a lot of report riding investigate collection of evidence. They deliver various services, including dealing with parking and other issues. We're going to eliminate some vacant positions that community service officer program, which means with retirements ultimately we'll have about ten fewer people which will leave us about 60 community service officer, citywide.

A

Take encounter convenient if Oh God, maybe Yemen, and then Lincoln sack calm down a community service officer. Theotokos olive are moving in being take at a yep Jonathan folk with a your Lima phone, so thing I magnin a hell of a really good llama, complete my company him. They give us a multiple buying completely and.

B

Then we're also limiting, what's called the swine sworn higher ahead program. Although we've had good progress in restoring much of the many of the losses to our Police Department in recent years, we can only do so when we're actually hiring officers ahead to anticipate retirements of our officers, who are reaching 25 to 30 years of service. In this budget. We simply won't have the funds to be able to engage in a higher ed program, which means that our progress in restoring the department and adding those 250 or so officers will stop.

B

After our next two academies come in the door, and so while we won't be laying off police officers or eliminating will mean that we won't be making progress like we had in recent years sitting.

A

Can sort ahead and like a good thing and being consecutive gotten and teaching myself I would marketing tonight like we keep on. So thank you back on the top ten forgotten bands. He came back home second sacks and they who move on you can tell you leading to 92,000 cut. They not highlighted make contact on. Do you need to back home car, really wanna contact? Now you might entire second young family name being dumber than sack okay and.

B

Then, in a couple of other departments here, as we think about what's hit going on in our Parks and Recreation Department, we try to do everything we can to preserve those programs and services. We can still deliver despite the public health order, and that means a lot of the programs that we had involved.

B

Congregating of people activating of places, programs like Viva Calle, Viva parks, they're, very popular programs placemaking in San Pedro square, those programs. We won't continue this year because the public health order doesn't allow it that enables us to save some dollars so that we can maintain other important services. Other programs like family camp and our aquatic program, that it was all the pools that we had open for children to be able to use in the summertime. None of those programs will be happening this summer.

B

We know that they are highly valued by our community, but because of the public health order, it makes very little sense for us to be investing dollars in them because we're not likely to be able to operate them anyway.

A

Very young, you would never forgot a p.m. like me from being Jackie. Thank you for faulty make it to antonio viva la calle. People are sick and I. Send you my kitchen dog die in Reno, somehow bring you leave items off, I kept Savin yeah, but I'm making yet Italian dirty, gym. Class component of my family were from conveniently make a hole, become a naughty second corner. My t32 tonight at Laura talk just informed in my entire region by fighting yam but keeping 2000 passing them making good night. One.

B

Area proposed cuts from the city manager's office that that may that will absolutely affect our community. We know, will be the reduction of public operating hours in our libraries. There's a recommendation that the council consider reducing library services on a weekly basis by about four hours from 47 hours a week to 43 hours a week.

B

Obviously that is a great concern to many of my colleagues and myself, and so we'll be talking in the days ahead about how we might soften that blow as well. But I know our library team is working creatively to find ways to ensure those our reductions are least impactful to our families. They.

A

To think, isn't that cool sigh, gamba cooks, oh yeah, then back down mommy, might think don't be cute, I'm saying yeah I'm about done, tell me about them and they like idiot that long that you know more because they said you'll do tonight in my team: that's a Sequoia! Can you give him you.

B

Know most of the programs and services will continue and obviously there's a lot that is done every day by members of our workforce to support our residents, but I want him in particular ensure that people know we are continuing or focus on some key priorities where the voters have entrusted us with some dollars, and we want to ensure that you know we are keeping your trust. That is we're maintaining our commitment to the voters, for example in measure II. That was a measure just passed in March an affordable housing measure.

B

Those were dollars that were generated through property transfer, taxes and fees that will be used to build affordable housing and provide emergency transitional housing and services for homeless residents, and that will continue every dollar for measure. He will continue to be used for those purposes and then two years before measure T passed, that was infrastructure, public safety measure, primarily for the construction of a lot of public safety facilities like fire stations, fire station 37 fire station, eight, those are under construction or planning.

B

Now, along with road repaving I, can assure everyone we we paved more miles of roads last year than we have in a quarter century and we're going to continue that very high level of repaving, because we know that years of neglect have really burdened our residents with a an inadequate road infrastructure. Too many potholes- and we know you pay a price for that, and so we're gonna continue with all those roadway paving projects and many of the other priorities in measure. T.

C

Let's get the pause um not talking not so you can deny conveys a chew toy buttons, ooh sweetie cupcake. Would you like a cookie nila, nila 0e, my tum tum kaho come back kadala sodium a tuna. We call Ava toxin vacuum disease of getting played all they say goodness, good, that good yeah, a sarcastic Jeong Jeong Bo Suk hoon, but you talk on the clock, T la la la because my aunt and uncle welcome to TOEIC a second yeah junior fire station, so bangla by vacuum.

C

Toeic ooh suture in young-sam, beating sock on yellow bottoms, all buttoned up, kids reaches a new peak, a motto and.

B

Then, of course, there are other commitments, programs that we've started since I've been in office, really try to expand opportunity in our community, for example the San Jose Bridge Program, which provides transitional jobs. It's many homeless individuals helping them get back on their feet and they're cleaning many parts of our city. We know we've got a serious trash problem and they are helping to start to get some progress or may get some traction on that difficult challenge.

B

San Jose learns, which is a program we launched back in 2016, just after I got into office serving 17 of our lowest income neighborhoods, ensuring that our children had after-school programs in those neighborhoods where we knew their families could not afford them in keeping them learning after school and soon as it works, which is a program providing now more than four thousand teenagers with summer jobs. All these programs were going to continue to support, to the extent that the public health orders allow us to continue to operate this program, new.

C

Kitchen gym tada-san, to name a toll on teacher Jang, Hana la San, Jose bridge line you can come here, tell you. It was a cool chunk in San. Jose learns not sooner onions and Ernie come got some no innings and and gotten cold ha ha no joke on Kai Kani, okay to Jen's house. Aha, San Jose works that you can they thinking, they're, just Antillean la mujer and.

B

Finally, we're looking for more creative, innovative ways to do things amid this crisis, and the crisis in some ways has provided us an opportunity to move more quickly to accomplish many important tasks that were more difficult for us before the emergency order in various ways.

B

For example, we know we have a serious digital divide in the city has so many cities throughout the country and because the emergency order, we have access to some federal funds, as well as the opportunity to get through permitting processes more quickly and so we're moving aggressively in partnership, for example, with East Side Union High School District, to connect many communities with free Wi-Fi. We something I launched about three years ago, around James lick high school, where we've been able to connect one of six thousand families to provide them broadband service.

B

We're now under construction with over felt in that area surrounding neighborhoods thousands of families there, within a few weeks, we'll be able to benefit from free connectivity and broadband and then we're moving on to other schools as well.

B

Your bellowing of high school independence, Oak Grove, and those surrounding neighborhoods too, because we know those are areas where so many of our families lack connectivity and broadband, and that is a critical, critical tool, obviously to enable their children to engage in distance, learn as well as to enable their parents be able to look for jobs or get health information or and the other critical task. We need our internet service for.

C

Chuckles Oneonta Lin banged a sambuca selectmen, damn don't communicate hot, so desu. Okay, sorry God, look at the antonio conte noise, okay, but we got my the joke on time. ha Cuz hey hop to sir Jim Bowie kondeh Wi-Fi, so me reach on you.

You can't I ha ha the exam, but over high school chiang mai, tawhiti sec organza then got a linkage arm admin fee, but you know gone martha.

C

Changing Wi-Fi, join you, okay, coach! You want you how roles.

B

And, of course, we know homeless are particularly vulnerable at this time from the pandemic, and we have a state order, which is compelling us to thin out our shelters and also to pull people out of encampments, where they are particularly particularly vulnerable to contagion, and so we've aggressively used a combination of state and federal means to expand access to short-term shelter, whether its repurposing, some city, public buildings or leasing motels in partnership with the county, we've moved more than one thousand homeless individuals off the street, and now another four hundred homeless individuals have been moved into permanent housing while we're also continuing all the existing construction of permanent, affordable housing.

B

We have hundreds of units that are under construction now, and we've launched a pretty novel program because of waivers in state laws that would otherwise hold up some projects that we'd have for many years. We're now able to build prefabricated modular housing for homeless residents, an emergency basis in a matter of weeks, for it might take three or four years, and so we've got one of those projects under construction. Today in South, San Jose, two more are underway shortly.

B

That will house those three projects collectively more than 300 units, probably more than 500 individuals again using prefabricated modular housing relatively inexpensive. Roughly seventy thousand dollars a unit and very both cost effective and efficient.

C

Working back on your kitchen today suppose a cool in a lock on you, King wicked. A new veto. New item does okay Templeton valid ban desu ka', ZT mahjong. You know it's time to dr. John Hamilton alcohol mode, not as thought home organ rooibos, aku, Johnny, okay, No! Thank you, Tom.

C

I don't climb sun-young, canyon, hello, damn junk! Okay, don't be an awesome! You bye, Jase I happened by Chuck Nando, making.

B

This slide, this last slide is, is the final one before we go to questions, we're also looking for more creative ways to use our public space as a result of this pandemic, and this emergency is allowed us to think differently, for example, about how we might reuse our parks, our sidewalks, our roadways, Paseos plazas, to enable commerce to move outside to allow outdoor dining move, yoga, studios and exercise classes outdoors, because we know that many of these businesses, when the county does allow them to operate again and the county gives the green light they're not going to allow many people to be indoors.

B

As a result, this public health, emergency and so moving people outdoors where they can be, they can observe the social distancing and still engage in their activity, is going to enable those businesses, hopefully to better survive and I think, will enable the city to have another opportunity to think about how we can take advantage of our 300 days of sunshine a year to really be more of an outdoor city and create a more vibrant streetscape. And so this is really an opportunity for us to reimagine our streets and neighborhoods in different ways and I.

B

Look forward to that opportunity as well.

C

For Kim dae-jung EULA teach in San Jose al fresco, la mochila, disciplining my Joey highly noon to my god. A football captain, Mike joy, Nevada, Jim Duggan got a target on Lila. San Jose got a stencil there. My oh my Joey, to talk about young nine, all an amateur, but you know saying: can you kick in some town I'm, some kind Bandido.

B

And so will now go on to your questions and comments and we'll we'll proceed and the order in which people raise their hands are indicate. They would like to speak for those who are on the phone. Please dial star nine, and that will indicate to us that you'd like to ask a question or make a comment, and if you're here with us on zoom', just raise your hand using that bar in the bottom right corner of your screen.

B

That puts that little blue hand up, and that enables us to call on you and we'll give everybody two minutes to speak and and hopefully we'll be able to get to everybody who's on the line. So first I see Debbie Lu welcome.

A

Yakko Debbie Lou.

B

Debbie you're gonna need to unmute your device by pressing that mute, I'm Yuki there you go, then we can hear you.

D

Thank you so much for your a very informative presentation, and my question is so: comparing to the deficit for this year to last year's deficit, have you seen an improvement and if, yes, what is that percentage and what are we doing differently and I believe? Last year we were talking about maybe bringing in some more businesses where we can increase our city revenue through the taxes that we collect from businesses such as Google, bigger companies.

B

Yeah so Debbie thanks for the question traps away for the translation. First.

A

And saw some Viki case it's cold and I'm talking I'm, not at the edge of the pipe I'm you from tumblr, but kind of tangler and Marco take care of them. Dude the calm of Gillingham nine. Mr. lamken, then I'm due cuz I went well and making Hank cirglod, but something focused in that didn't go on to in tanana Colombia o'clock.

B

And so we actually had a small surplus proposed from last year. Things were going very well in the economy, of course, and that dictates a lot about our budget and so I had proposed actually moved a lot of money into reserves to prepare for what we expected to be a recession sometime in the next couple years.

B

Obviously, the recession came much sooner and much more sharply, and so, as a result, now what we learned in March or April, based on our estimates, then, was that we then had a more than 120 million dollar gap to fill 45 million dollars, as I described in a current year and 72 and you're starting July. First. This is just a preliminary estimate. The number may well become worse, and so obviously the situation is much worse now than it was last year.

B

The with regard to efforts to bring businesses into San, Jose I, think it's fair to say: we've had a lot of success and Oh Chris Burton's on the line over the last three or four years, I think has been the greatest run of economic success. Our city has probably ever had as we think about the many innovative companies that have either moved their headquarters in or expanded here dramatically. I think many know about Google, certainly in downtown, but they've actually take it up. Many hundreds of thousands of square feet and North San Jose as well.

B

Apples taken up a lot of space up there, where we welcome new headquarters like HPE hewlett-packard enterprises, micron.

B

Hulu I'm, sorry, not Hulu. Excuse me be trying to remember the name of the company just moved in over at Coleman's Center Chris. You may want to help me on that one. That's a Verizon meant division right next to Verizon and good. Now you got me: okay, Roku. Yes, that's right on the tip of my tongue! Thank you. Thanks Chris Roku Verizon we've had just a great run, certainly and seeing smaller companies like zoom, really booming here, as well as been great now. Obviously, all that is hitting a brick wall.

B

With this very serious recession, we've got to maintain that becoming called the depression, given the fact that we're well into 20% or more unemployment, so obviously everything's going to get reset, but the good news is: we've managed to really move the needle in helping to generate a lot of growth in terms of business here, and we hope that when the economy is moving forward again, we will be able to rebound more quickly than otherwise Chris did you want to add anything left.

B

C

um 92 Takamatsu no, but you Rosati lover. It is ooh see if I can pay. Did you talk about Shanghai to Morty, know how much I might've to move that dollar Bob? Why don't you num-num naive, I may hate you come home Sam by the buckle.

C

He had made a dim sum to adjust and fall the who my dark on you: okay, Dante dad thought they can pose and whose age I'm Han you know, Google a bang, an square feet, jump time for County Apple, fighting Taconic auntie Mui dissolve a handful San Jose, the HP Enterprise micron Roku Kazu new, my Chengdu line teaching that says I know if all very highly functional tea. Like cut me up. San Jose.

B

Thanks, so all I would.

D

Admire is that you know obviously having a strong economic base, and you know a good and diverse set of companies that provide employment to residents is really critical, not just the visit of local economy, but also to the city budget. As mentioned, it provides direct taxes, but also you know, employment to local residents, feeds into consumer spending and local spelt sales, tax and overall health of the economy. So it's something that we're really focused on.

D

As the mayor mentioned, we had a really good run over the last ten years, a lot of consolidation of legacy tech companies, as well as some really good growth around small business and entrepreneurship. So it's something that we'll continue to focus on. We also need to make sure that we have the space is available for those companies to move into, so we're continuing to drive the development aspect, but then also most critically, as a result of Kervin. Being such a sudden shock to the local economy.

D

Is that really the other area of focus for us over the next 12 months will be about providing services and support to our small business communities throughout the city? To ensure that they can survive what's likely to be a I'm in the future,.

A

The other night I'm not like okay kiddin, when you hang sokak about the cover entire body, come young with entitlement for night taking on crank over kocoum goods and for with him that he ripped it him back anyway. Well I can hang my free time with him. Carve Atlantic up young but and fall for public lands. I have to take something of a new mercy. You think they come come okay trick or see you more, but we came to McConnell in America talk. You can soon!

A

Thank you, but if I sang sang take on you, Jordan hang my pipe out for watching by the yo kovaydin a time of captain Jung Jung, a dropper Buckner. What I'm saying to come and go they get your attention, yarn and cut hey sung by the take it took sample the maintenance. Oh okay,.

B

Jim Jim Carter welcome.

B

Hi Jim I think you're still on mute, unmute your device. We can hear you.

B

Jim I think you're still on mute. You could unmute your device. How about now? Can you hear me? Okay got to now Thanks.

D

I can't hear you.

D

How about now yeah? We can hear you fine Jim, sorry about that. You know Thank You, mr. mayor, for all your efforts. I know you didn't anticipate this at all by any means, so I thank you and your staff and the city managers staff and also the budget staff with Jim, Shannon and Bonnie dong I appreciate your efforts, usually on the neighborhoods Commission, which I'm a member of we write a budget letter so this year.

D

Our budget letter is really going to be delayed by quite some time, but a couple of concerns in the budget letter deal with Public Safety transportation and code enforcement. So my question revolves around something in our budget letter that we were going to ask or find out more about and recommend was increasing the traffic enforcement unit, I'm, not sure if that's still going to be going forward or be increased by any means, and then also you mentioned station 37 coming online in the next couple years.

D

We're hoping that there's gonna be enough funding for staffing regarding station 37 and then also increasing the code enforcement unit or continue hiring or replacing code enforcement officers. I know this is going to change tremendously in the next couple months. So, however, you can answer that the best you can I'd appreciate it and thank you.

B

Thanks Jeff I know that day $10 on the line, maybe I'll ask him to respond about traffic enforcement.

D

Sure, mr. mayor yeah Jim, thank you for the question on that. So in regards to the traffic enforcement unit, as you may or may not know, within the last year, so actually doubled the size of teu and seeing some remarkable results with them by going out, and even during the Cova 19 endemic portion of it, they've been out there working less on the enforcement side of it more in the educational side of it, as they make contact with our residents out there.

D

So with everything we always look at when academies come out where to put those much needed resources and being on the commission. As you know, our main priority is the 9-1-1 calls and responding to the residents in the city. So as it stands at this point right now, it's not completely off the table, but we certainly are going to be looking at where we can put those valuable resources.

D

As we move forward, the higher head was certainly a place where we could move some of those resources or look at where we might be able to put them.

D

You know, as we work through this the up endemic and see where we end up I think that'll be kind of one of those things that we need to just that we assess with all our valuable units as we move forward, so it is certainly on our mind, because we know it's important to the residents of San Jose, it's just a little too early for us to essentially identify those key elements. At this point.

B

That's for translation and also answer.

C

Jack go big, my chain teaching that IB T hand cookie the given day, South home Jim, Bowie Lambert, a babe and a lot lay by Quinn we're given days. Also son Jim.

B

Okay and then the question Jim about station 37 for those who don't know, that's a station owner construction in West, San Jose and the Willow Glen neighborhood that construction will continue. Of course, the question is about staffing it, and that will be a couple years off. We obviously hope that budgetary resources will recover, but will likely be applying for a federal grant. That'll help us with the early years of that funding of the staffing I think you're familiar with those grants.

B

We've used them in the past to help restore firestation staffing and then, with code enforcement. I have to be honest on this one. It's not going to be we're, certainly not going to see any increase in code enforcement funding this year and there's quite possibly going to be cuts if the economic numbers don't improve between now and September, Rockland.

B

There was a question that was posed to us, a Vietnamese that was written from we won we week. One we who asked in Vietnamese is there testing for people who do not have symptoms yet well. As for the translation person, I don't get the answer. Come.

A

On kick ahoy, my god I totally the Coleman come, but not how Neumann come, but you can.

B

And the answer to the question is: just today we announced at a site which is located at Cal State and the other Verity site which is located at a fairground.

B

There is testing for anyone who wants testing whether they have symptoms or not. You don't need to pay it's free. You don't need health insurance. You simply need to go online and you can go online and register in advance. That's the way that they get you into the queue they get. You to register first, go to Silicon, Valley, strong dot, org again, Silicon Valley, strong org. That's our one test!

B

One stop shop for all things you need with regard to covet or if you need to get information or you want to get help or give help just go to Silicon Valley, strong dot, org you'll see, we've got a link there. That will take you to the county's testing site and you can sign up for testing it either of those locations at the County Fairgrounds or at Palace Stadium. It's open Monday through Friday 9:00 to 3:00 Sunday.

B

Want to respond to some of the questions that are posed here by text and I, encourage folks they want to send by Texas, certainly can, but also your feel free to raise your hand, and we can just take your questions.

B

This one is from Tom's neck and I know Thomas, well a wonderful person who is a board member at San Jose noon, Arts & Lectures, and he emphasizes that arts are a part of the fabric of the city. Absolutely true. We hope that some budget support can be found for the arts and view of the kovat city budget crunch with survival need priority understood.

B

So thank you, Thomas snack for your question or your comment. Let me explain what is going on. Is you probably know our arts organizations depend on primarily on grants, programs that are funded with hotel taxes?

B

As you know, the hotel industry is probably the worst hit industry in the city outside of Airlines and, as a result, there's a sharp reduction anticipated in those tax revenues, and we expect we're going to have about 3.6 million dollars for Arts grants this year, whereas we funded it at about six point: three million the prior year, so more than 40% drop. Obviously, that's a very significant drop. We know, and that means many. Our arts organisations will not get funding that might have otherwise, and so that is a great concern.

B

I know twenty folks in the council. They may be of trying to find ways to fill some of those gaps, but there will be some significant reduction in those arts grants this year. We're going to continue to maintain our support for many of our anchor arts institutions that get the lunch larger streams of funding, such as the San Jose, Museum of Art and Mexican heritage clause and other arts institutions, but those smaller arts groups are likely, particularly for festivals and parades and and and so forth. Those are going to take a hit.

B

I think we're going to end up. Refocusing a lot of those festival grant dollars toward organization sustainability, because we know folks are just going to need the money to keep the wheels on.

A

Think I'm what text they come off? Nearly conveying I get a 20 I.

B

You I have a question from Milan fom mile in I believe you're having a problem with your with your mute button. Is that right, it's mics, not working. Are you able to speak? Yes,.

C

Can you hear me man, you.

B

Fine now, thank you good.

C

Evening mayor, thank you so much for your time and I hope that you are doing well. We need you to do well.

D

C

Your health, so my question is why budget cut and austerity.

D

Will be the obvious results of our city's coming economic downturn.

C

What are your utmost priorities, and why and.

D

Also, will DFAC vietnamese-american Center be part of the city's.

C

General budget, or it will or will it be shipped to council budget or special funding, Thank You, mayor and God bless. Thank.

B

You very much Milan. Let me first answer the second question and I'll go to the first. With regard the vietnamese-american cultural center that has been operating now for three or four years. We will continue to fund that the operations of the activities there I know under the health order. Some of those operations will be constrained. Community, obviously, is not gathering in the way that it was, but we hope that will change soon with any changes in the county order, so that will be in the budget, at least it certainly in the recommended budget now.

B

Secondly, with the the larger question you asked about our priorities, I can certainly tell what my priorities are. The two top priorities are first doing everything we can to help people get back to work safely, so they can get a paycheck. We've got a city with more than 20 percent unemployment.

B

You know a lot of families are hurting mightily, we're seeing the lines at the food lines at the food distribution, centers, grow, and so I want to do everything we possibly can to help people get back to work, get small businesses open again and help support them in any way. We can and we're certainly doing our best to try to raise money and do all we can to support families in various ways. The second priority is public safety. Is it always?

B

This has to be a top priority, and so we're going to do all we can do and sure a police fire emergency services are protected and I believe the proposed budget does that pretty well I suspect there may be some additional changes that come from the council and myself in the weeks ahead, but I don't expect a large cuts of any kind to public safety unless things get much much worse.

B

I'm sorry should change that I'm. Sorry soon. The.

It I might add Thomas and hey I'm, no microphone. Thank you for looking into that.

B

Okay, Thomas we're not able to hear you now so I'm gonna try to go to another member of the community and, while you're working on that, if you'd like you can you can raise your hand again and we can try calling again or, alternatively, you can type in the question through through the chat Thomas.

A

To tackle wooden Academy, my I said we're getting: okay, P mean I, moved it to quite ohon T, and today the monkey mute. What you're under the compact I'd like one no.

B

We'll come back to you, Emma D bayman, welcome.

D

Hello Mila card: oh thank you again for calling on me. I wanted to follow up on a question that was asked prior by my my Linh I believe your priorities that you indicated I think are really great and right now.

D

Obviously many of us are experiencing financial hardship because of specific job loss or furloughs, and hopefully a lot of those will be reversed in the way that you're talking about I'm safely, reopening public life, but San Jose is a super expensive place to live all the time and a lot of people are struggling before this crisis happened.

D

You guys have shown leadership in pausing rent payments, but without rent forgiveness, a lot of people are going to be at risk of eviction when the rent comes due, and this is gonna force people out of their homes, and it's going to add to the burden on public services that um your budget is talking about. So I'm wondering where the city is, if it's possible for the city to revisit rent forgiveness now to lessen the impact on the public services budget down the road, and thank you again for having these public hearings.

D

We really appreciate it. No.

B

Thank you Andy, and thank you for your advocacy you're, not alone I, know. There's there's been a strong demand for rent forgiveness. Let me explain why we're not going to be reconsidering it and I'll. Tell you what we have done, what we will be doing. The reason why we won't be reconsidering is the city attorneys made it very clear to us.

B

They would be unconstitutional for the city to mandate, rent forgiveness, that is under the Fifth Amendment, the US Constitution, which would consider this a taking for which we would have to pay just compensation to landlords that compensation when run on the order of hundreds of millions of dollars a month, and it would bankrupt the city.

B

Secondly, because of recall the contracts clause and the Constitution, which prohibits governments from intervening in private contracts that are lawful, that are made in advance of any government action so, for the most part, there's no clear path for the city to get involved. Obviously, we would love for the federal government to get involved and step up with direct payments that could help many of our renters pay, their back rent or perhaps condition assistance to landlords who are struggling with foreclosure, for example, to have to pay it forward to renters.

B

We've been advocating at the federal level with many of my colleagues who are mayor's throughout the country for those kinds of measures, but the city itself cannot do that what we can do and what we have done. In addition, as you mentioned to the the eviction moratorium, we were the first city in the country to call for a mix and moratorium. Just yesterday, the council approved my proposal that would extend the period of time the tenants would have to repay rent beyond the emergency period.

B

The measure that was passed last night, just before midnight by my colleagues would enable someone to be sure that they could not be evicted so long as they pay at least 50% of their back rent by December 31st and the remaining 50% six months within six months. At that time now those times may be adjusted and there could be other terms that could be negotiated between the tenants and the landlord's that could also and include rent forgiveness, but we can't mandate it. We've also imposed a rent cap as well and you're, probably familiar with that.

B

That's probably not going to have enormous beneficial help, but at least will help a little, so we're gonna keep doing everything we can, in addition to, obviously to fundraising through your Silicon Valley strong program, to help families they're struggling, we are not, unfortunately, gonna be able to get involved into mandating forgiveness, I.

B

Christine fun well Christine good to have you.

E

I sent I'm an earl Accardo. Can you hear me yeah? Thank you so much and I'm glad the technology works and it can be a little confusing. You know we I'm calling today on behalf of the vietnamese-american round table- and you know we do want to thank you for your leadership during these very unprecedented time, and we wanted to just share our comments and thoughts as the mayor and the council continues to deliberate budget priorities. I think you hid it in your presentation that you know we have been through prior recessions before and I. Think.

E

The key part is that the most vulnerable in our communities would be disproportionately exposed to the harm and impacts of such a recession.

E

So we urge the council to continue programs that will minimize the harm and impact through the recession and support programs that will support these communities own ability to maintain food shelter without additional burdens to their family, as well as continue to develop their skills that will better allow them to rebound readjust and react limine when the economy improves, because supporting these communities will help our entire community become move forward to a stronger economy in the future.

E

For the Vietnamese community in particular, we didn't want to share a few thoughts with respect to public safety crimes and response times. You know, even in the best times, have lagged in district 7. So please continue to maintain the highest level of services in these communities.

E

We are concerned that our communities will be targeted, especially with some of the anti Asian backlash and then also, just generally speaking, like some of the businesses are targeted, because folks think that you know stereotypically, there's more cash or something in these communities, and so please continue to maintain higher levels of services, if possible, because of the exposure and risk for education and culture. Please continue to maintain those programs that you mentioned that will provide technology access to low-income neighborhoods, so that students and their families don't fall behind on the technology.

E

Curves library accesses and these neighborhoods are especially critical, especially for job seekers, people trying to learn new skills.

E

You know, to the extent that it's possible, please do not reduce the library services in these neighborhoods and communities, Milan already kind of touched on it, but that has been very vibrant and critical for community nonprofits to serve our community, and so please continue to maintain the funding for those community centers, because that's where nonprofits can gather and we can provide some of the services that will help these families seniors and neighborhoods during these critical times and the last two issues that we wanted to just mention were to the extent that small businesses can continue to look at supporting ways for them to be engaged in city contract city services or for opportunities for small businesses to grow.

E

Small businesses will be critical for the recovery for our economy and last the housing efforts that have Mia mentioned and other creative ways to make more housing available to our communities needs to be maintained both for shelter purposes, but also so that there's stability in in these neighborhoods that will help us. You know ride through these difficult times and come out better as an entire San Jose community. Afterwards, Thank You mayor Christine.

B

Thanks and I was taking notes, as you were talking and every one of those is a critically important priority. You're right so appreciate your advocacy and that American Roundtable and your leadership as well. Let me just say this about vulnerable communities and how they're impacted by cuts and services. It's in two things.

B

One is, you know we have been implementing now this year and began really last year around discussions of what we call equity screens, ensuring that, as what looking at budget additions and cuts that was doing so, first and foremost, mindful of how it impacts our most vulnerable communities, community and color, low-income residents- and we are certainly as a city, certainly doing all we can to keep that foremost.

B

All that being said, I think you know very well that public services are overwhelmingly needed and utilized by our most vulnerable residents, those with the lowest incomes and so whether it's the county or the city really anywhere you cut, is almost certainly going to hurt someone who is struggling. Who depends on that resource.

B

We know that more affluent families don't have to worry about an aquatic program getting cut down because kids may have access to a club or there may be a neighbor with a pool or they may have a pool in their in their yard, but that that's not the case, obviously, for most of our kids in many fand many neighborhoods, they need access to an aquatics program. This is a very small example, but one of many you mentioned, obviously the digital divide and Technology access issues. We know there's aren't really concerns for many of our families.

B

Fortunately, because we have a relatively affluent city, but for thousands of our families is a huge challenge, and so every cut we make we know is going to impact those who are struggling the most and so we're going to try to do everything we can to minimize those impacts. But we know these are very hard conversations precisely because we know who depends on our resources and our services. The most I.

C

Would like to just summarize what this misses: Christina farm, she in Vietnamese, Christina, nice job, Vietnamese, American round, table Vanya, no quantum quantum venue! Is it more Makati and whom name took from Noel Okinawa? Did you catch a empty house, but is it one who makes it Anton come come come down Vietnam by seeing teachers, but in tip-top Rita kind is it vote.

Like you've done to my god, you get a man jump, go there, but quantum mechanically. When they come there. Is it vote to fear, but the time you kick oh ho chun-yin killed my vibe and a cuckoo auntie Joan Charlo in the quantum. The in your visit vote no say visit for pickups and say I'm home digging.

You okay, now say and holding you okay cut down my significant. If I, okay, that didn't community to knocked out take, says a baby and who knew John Hannah a new Sunday Macomb call the Antonio T new con con. You kitchen, gentle, uniform contact home, go to the park home boy. Come come back, open, conquer food, the cheetah, verbum Dei come yet go Gandhi, my Sam, but you Kissel, backed up, not Jen you to come down.

B

Thank you, I want to take one question that was a texted and we'll go right again to our live. Callers question was, with the city, be using city staff for contact tracing to prevent city job loss.

B

Fundamentally, that will be up to the county, about who they're we're able to use for contact tracing I think we would like to use a combination of anyone. Certainly, who is willing to serve in this, maybe laid off or or I should say more likely, furlough, because I, don't believe, we'll be laying off any permanent any any full-time employees, but certainly part-time employees who are furloughed I will certainly be encouraging to join our contact. Tracing teams.

B

We're also looking to engage many of our residents, who are not city, employees or not, who are simply unemployed and want to get work that could be six or 12 months in duration. We think this could be very valuable work, particularly those who are fluent in Vietnamese or Spanish. We would really welcome so in the in the days ahead, we'll be announcing I hope through the work to future program opportunities for folks to get engaged.

B

Thank you and then finally, a also take one last question online before I go to the live callers, a Thomas twin who had been trying to speak to us earlier and we're having problems with communication because of the mic.

B

He asked whether we have plans to reopen the community center took particularly the vietnamese-american community center or cultural center, and then are we going to limit participation, people and time day days of the week, and the short answer is as soon as the public health order from the county enables us to reopen community centers we'd be happy to do so.

B

I do expect that there may be limitations on numbers of people who are indoors because of a need for some social distancing, and so I can't tell you when that's going to happen, but it all depends on the county. Public health orders. I expect there will be some again more continued gradually opening of activity in the weeks ahead.

B

You and I'm also responding to a couple of the questions by texting on online, so I'll do that as we're also answering as well. There's a collar with the last four digits of four four five one, four, four five one.

D

Thank you. This is Karina Alouette and I'm currently trusted for the Allan rock community school district representing hey. Thank you. As you know, the children here of the east side of San Jose and actually took care of one of my questions and I was happy to hear the fact that you know as I'm sure you all were, but it you know, took care of the needs that you know our most vulnerable communities have, which you know.

D

Obviously it's no secret- that the Eastside is one of those, so I'm happy to hear that you that, at the forefront, as you all make these tough decisions. My next question is around youth intervention services. As you know, I'm also a deputy probation officer for the county working with you know our youth in our community. Again, unfortunately, you know most I'm, representing and in these vulnerable areas. Are you listen to make cuts there? Have you guys thought about changing anything and also I'm, hoping that's in the same category?

D

As you know, trying to cut the less the least amount in the area and.

B

Clean answers to simpler you referring to a gang prevention programs or.

D

I know I'm youth intervention services. um You know the many various programs now we'll say some campus initiative, the female gang intervention program, which I not sure what it's called now, but it's a lot of different programs, not just the intervention but also safe school campus, which provides a lot of you know: conflict mediations, just not necessarily a language games, but just you know, youth in the news right of a youth, especially when the stressful times hit. You know. Sometimes our youth are the ones that get to don't have.

D

Maybe the skills, the right skills right or you know, end up picking up substances. You think that so these intervention services that help support our children stay on the healthy path. I.

B

Agree in there yeah secreta, thank you and thank you for your service. I was in school district and in many other ways, I allow John. It's just really correct me on this, but my understanding is the proposed budget from the C manager does not propose any cuts to any of the programs. You mentioned safe summer camps initiative, the any of the mayor's gang prevention task force programs.

B

Those will continue to be funded at the last year's levels. Is that right? John? Yes,.

D

Mayor you got it correct, and the only thing I would add is that, and you're probably noticing is to yourself is that interacting with our youth is difficult right now, and you know we're typically used to bringing them together and working in groups and working in teams and 101, and so we've been trying to adjust to that, but none of the services, none of the positions or any of the grants, so the best program are going to be discontinued at this time. Yeah.

B

Thanks John, so obviously this programs are gonna, look different I'm, depending on what the public and the county public health order says.

D

Thank you, Niko.

A

Han and I could call hi hi lat. He Tintin get full again Kate. Thank you being that he can compete over doctor again, some of the wrangling UN County on to knock em, but they see your gear, the might in turn, I set it open, even her completely hydroid.

A

Yet what now in marketing tonight we say: Hong Kong same for wait. I tell.

B

I have a question from summers. Anonymous has been to repost this on the chatroom and I assume. This is a city employee, so maybe I'll just ask if any wrong might be able to respond to this or anybody else and see managers team. Do you know when seniority list will be released or when the bumping will occur for those removed hours at one time funded positions?

B

So this obviously deals with the fact that we're eliminating positions- and that is resulting in people moving around within City Hall Bonnie? Did you do you have any insights here that you might be able to offer? Yes.

D

So I've been working with our HR department and they're, currently working on the seniority list right now, so that will be released pretty soon and then we are planning for bumping to start probably at the beginning of the fiscal year, so elect ill. I won.

B

Okay, great Thank, You, bunny, appreciate you and then I don't have other persons who are raising their hands, but several have typed. In other questions who have joined us so I'll just take a quick look at the remaining questions to see if any have not been answered yet, and here's one okay, actually someone just raised their hand, so I'll go to bow T bouchy. If you could unmute your device. Please.

B

Hi bow I'm not able to hear you right now. If you could just unmute your device.

I'm sorry I just unmute her yeah. It's very good that we to hear from the CD about the plan for the Vietnamese community during this coffee 19 disaster.

D

What sorry I am coming late, so I did not hear who the whole thing from the step. I have a question when I came here that the Vet Center will be very open, but with limited time and resource I.

D

Understand that, because due to the certain distance and I also know that for the classroom and we read for the school classroom like a high school chorus, the governor says that they will be online meeting and there will be not probably there will not be any like classroom meeting and just I do know that if that would apply to the VAX, also like in vivo. We have a few class during the days for the seniors for the low-income teaching, ESL teaching, computer and I like to know.

D

If would it would apply the same to the vetnet? We would not be able to open the classroom, as we would like before. I know that if we open the classroom, we have to.

A

Be social distance to obey the social distance, don't have a small classroom size, but just.

D

In case I want to know if that.

A

Would be allow enough now.

B

I believe, under the current county health order, it would not be allowed so we'll be following the county health order. I expect it will be similar for those programs, as it would be for any typical classroom. John did you want to weigh in on this trance it's really about how we can reopen the community. Centers can.

C

I please just interpret before you answer mr. Johnson Americans I can either lab from quantum version of the new kitchen, didn't look down upon ha Vietnam, but uncle and Emma Marty said me: hunter exam that I will new mom, but online uh governor got a new yellow cup 5 changing took to energy, my own new quantum quantum night new Hamasaki ratified. Don't tell me: okay, kappa lee sun-ho in a Southie new party line, okay, look how that Nanyang, the students are genuinely County and happy SN operating I'm, fine by half a my didn't!

C

Teach you Joey! Let you back but fight, don't tell lot for what not a take. What I'm.

D

Happy to jump in the so we're already in the planning stages on how we start to reopen gradually.

D

We know at some point we'll get new orders from the health department that allow a little more and a little more and a little more, and so we've we've actually been working on three stages of opening, but right now the only thing we're really allowed to do inside the buildings is bring together, child care or summer camps for small groups of a dozen or less kids, and so that's the programming will be doing largely this summer unless the orders start to change and we're able to start offering things where we can bring.

D

Folks together, you mentioned seniors, particularly and that's a more difficult group for us. You know, people that are younger and healthier are probably going to be allowed to move around a lot more sooner than the seniors will be able to so senior programming where we bring people together in groups is probably further in our future, then closer in our future, but we certainly want to see our seniors back and we're still doing all the meals for them as you're.

D

Probably aware, but we have to just hand them to him in there put it in their car in their trunk. Let him drive home with the meal. We can't interact with them. We can't bring them in in groups, so those kind of programming's, especially for vulnerable groups, they're gonna, take longer to bring on but we'll be ready. When the orders start letting us we will, we will have been planning and be ready to go when it does happen.

B

Thank you, translation.

B

A

Take this one I think I, don't get! You didn't keep a car the Tumtum ETA, if you know anything that come back yeah okay, get on over to my rank, each intern, charming a long time talking to thank you, sir hick 19 package on nutrient.

I. Think the thing that your Tamaki, you feeling for cups, air. What claw naked narrow you might impact on Cote now I got from Harbor.

A

Do am on told your heart, so the new night nurse did say he no hug and in fact they don't like even couldn't.

B

Meet you there's a another question who has sorry another called caller Han way.

B

Welcome hon I know neither unmute your device, not.

C

To go, hunt go mom I. Do you mean? Oh? Yes,.

B

I can thank you, hello,.

D

Me I'm, thank you. Thank you. So much for your leadership and so I saw and city safe I know that we are in unpregnant the time and I knew and city actually step up to the plate in terms of and thinking about, ways to help us get back on track of coordinating the emergency shelters and the food coordination for things like baaah. So we really appreciate it, especially for programs like grapefruits and things like that for me, as a Vietnamese person, I think, and it's really her presence like that were allowed.

D

The foods that are being delivered to be culturally appropriate. So I appreciate that, because I think over help with mental health in this time it's nice to be eating something about we enjoy so I. Think the community appreciate that. um So thank you so much for for your leadership. Unfortunately, I do want to go back to one of the questions earlier regarding housing and I know that at the city and the city cannot really get into the power of contracts between private individuals.

D

I quite understand that and um and I think what well I have depression and where I went to make. A comment is that in the in the moratorium- and one of the things I was stated, was that 10 inch and that allowed to ask their rent reduction based on the reduced services or are common and Mendis and such and and I understand that this was passed in council. So there's give and take council members have to vote on the on agree on it, but I think what? Why is?

D

That only applies to properties that are under under the rent, ordinance I think what is confusing for community members, even people, one even for people who are living under there living under properties under the rent, ordinance I, think they under the principles of contract law. This is to be able to have the right to pursue and after an adjustment for the services that are not being provided to them, but um in addition, for the general or for other community members who are not living under those rent ordinance who are not affected.

D

But it's being confused by this, because I've seen that reasoning carry out to other properties that I met on the rent, control and property owners are saying. Well, even the cities are saying that we don't have to, or they don't have to adjust for a lot of amenities. So, therefore, we will not honor your request for make an adjustment and in the concept that I'm asking I've seen this come up quite a lot, because I also work in housing and we work with gotta fight.

D

So there are quite a few people who are struggling with this, but when you're talking about the accent um rent right now, even for the people who are struggling to pay rent and for them to they work hard to pay the full price and the their amenities are not being serviced. So in that way it is a taking from that in the ones that being defer for the families that are being deferred at a later time.

D

If we're asking them to pay the full rent price for services that they did not get fully don't that stuff, but they owe to the men. Lord will only be higher at the kind of education that I.

B

Think you made your point very clearly and I'm. Sorry, it's just that we're trying to get all the questions in right now before the conclusion of this period, which is in about 14 minutes. So honey made your point very clearly, which is that you believe it's unjust and I can understand why it'd be unfair for renters have to pay for services.

B

For example, if they're living in an apartment complex with a pool and the pool can't be operated because of the health order, then the reason goes that the runners should be able to reduce their rent and certainly if a landlord is willing to reduce the rent, they certainly can.

B

We simply are not mandating the reason why we're not is because the cost of operating, maintaining that that amenity, whatever it might be, I would say it's a pool still exists that someone still has to come out and maintain it, and we had already started to say had crammed a lot of mandates down landlords throats over the last three months and I've heard an earful from many many landlords who are very upset about that, starting with the eviction moratorium that I proposed several months ago and many other rent freezes and other mandates that we've had- and this was one of those where they simply said, look if we're paying for the cost of maintenance.

B

We simply have to be able to recover that cost. If we're going to be able to pay the mortgage so I understand and appreciate the frustration as there is on both sides. Look I, don't think, there's a simple way out of this. The reality is, we know a lot of renters uneven, able to pay any rent at all right now and there's gonna be a lot of back rent Hey and we hope mechanisms to get that back.

B

Rent forgiven, I will say one thing that is in the renters favor is this that at the end of the day, there are so many people that are in the same situation of being without paychecks and I. Think landlords are simply not going to have a choice: they're not going to be able to Invicta if those people are doing their best to pay.

B

Currently, even if they've got back rent because there's just nobody else out there who can pay, that is I, guess the nature of having a very severe economic recession like the one we're facing I'm. Sorry I'll stop talking now, so it can be transfer heat dr.

Without your heart, then Jacob John Sulton, we get in Jan, sweet Mike and a nine.

B

Thank you. There are some additional questions have been submitted through the chat line on just respond to one is where there'll be any cuts the best funding. This is primarily programs for youth and gang prevention, intervention and the like, and the short answer is no. There will be no cuts to our gang prevention and intervention programs and other youth engagement programs that are run through the Mary prevention, King prevention task force or the parts team come.

A

On giggle highlight American couldn t, okay, Nicola, making ten Unicom curve and then the comeback like ongoing, doesn't obey Hong Kong. He said well guten dot container so comical into a new book.

B

Thank you and I have an additional question and I. This is a person who has a very lengthy set of questions. I'll. Just summarize a couple of them. Well, the city explore further use of reserve funds. As part of this plan to reduce impacts on services and eliminate layoffs, we reassess the city's contingency budget and are we gonna continue investigating all new sources of revenue and please consider all exhausting all options before adopting the budget. The results, job losses, the city employees I'll ask for that to be interpreted first virus mine.

C

Day, Jericho high genic, Okamoto, Rila, 10-4 non-kiss a day. That course we try can't they they mm. Okay quiz, you can fold my exam, you get that very sweet day. Yeah.

B

The short answer is yes, we are certainly using reserve funds to settle resolve some of the current year's deficit, as well as the next year's deficit. We cannot or do not want to use all of our reserve funds, because we expect the deficits will continue and we expect that this recession will leave us with a multi-year deficit problem to deal with that's the nature of all recessions, and so it would be foolish for us to spend all of our reserve dollars in one year.

B

The reality is, we will need to adjust our spending to fit the level of revenues that we can reasonably expect over the next several years. That requires very painful decisions that includes reductions and services.

C

um Don't OSS on Matsoukas will day my sample case, a sweet ican't, a new jumped off a hill de la vaca. She try contain a cow's item finer, but you compare Cochin Fatima GTO, magnum junior be very much even a fake cats are ok. So GTO put you back.

B

Thank you. There was another question that was submitted and again courage. Anybody wants to raise their hand, also has questions. This was submitted by someone anonymously or the equity impact reports that Merrill ecologist reference available to the public or the internal reports. The answer is, there is an equity analysis done by the budget office. That is a public report on the website.

B

If you go on to the san jose city website, which is San, Jose, CA, gov and then go to the budget office you'll see, there are all the documents that have been released relating to this budget proposed budget and and chief among them are the mayor's I'm. Sorry, the city managers, budget, addenda and I think you'll find this document among the city, manager's budget addenda.

A

I'm, a big, oh hi, Becky about calc. They would even call him in a number to the website. San Jose, CA dot-gov new movie, clip it in a lingual budget and proposed budget. Did you buzz hey? He came back out. He nom along, but you'd, better pick. Why we're making lockdown cool looking for.

B

Great and then the results are a question from week, wombly who asked in vietnamese. How will the budget reductions affect the city's public health and education.

C

Hi soon examines a quote on phone: a set of lungs now Jane, King and sucks also.

B

So let me explain qui. This is a common misperception in in the public, because it's pretty confusing with all these government agencies do quite often, but public health is not actually a responsibility of the city under the current law, its responsibility of the county, that's why it works nearly every county and city in California, with the exception of San Francisco, which is both the city and county, show.

B

The Public Health Department in the county manages all public health, so the city's budget issues won't affect that, but clearly the county has their own budget problems and I think their best speak to what cuts may need to be made public health budgets. Similarly, education is the responsibility of our school districts. We have 19 school districts in the city, San Jose, and they are primarily responsible for education.

B

As a city, we try to do what we can to support those school districts in their very important mission, or we don't have any budgetary authority or discretionary dollars to just spend in education, but we do try to do is invest in things like after-school learning, for our young people. We also invest in coding camps for examples of our libraries, a whole host of education programs and our library's particular very young children, and we had best and in the digital literacy programs that are of such great intensity personnel.

B

So many children are required to engage in distance learning and I. Think as I mentioned earlier, we are continuing to invest and those love prior year levels, in some cases, even greater with regard to digital access, as we were before, and so we'll continue to try to press forward those important issues. They're.

C

Given days, I was ok, lad, a convoy Gina joke how how cool, but young man I don't have a tip top note. Avenue to ten thousand John Young toy chair part engines also sounds out how to knock on your kitchen God according cam Joe.

C

B

Thank you soon and thanks to you for all of your help and helping us communicate today, I want to thank all the members of the community who offered their questions as well as their observations. All this is helping me and I know our senior officials at the city to understand better your concern, so I appreciate you speaking up as you have or communicating through text or any other way, I'll ask for translational Peter sue. If you have a moment.

A

B

And we are going to conclude the meeting now or at 8 o'clock. We will be having additional public hearings before the City Council on May 21st at 1:30 p.m.

B

and then I will be releasing my budget message on June 8th and there will be several public hearings after that. June message is released before the council votes on it, so there's more opportunity for public engagement, so we certainly encourage you to stay engaged. We appreciate that you are engaged as you are given all that people are dealing with right now with this pandemic and the economic fallout. So thank you for your willingness to be engaged at this point. I'll ask for translation there before I say think.
