From YouTube: City of San José Community Budget Meeting, May13, 2020
Description
Each year, Mayor Liccardo outlines a proposed budget for the City of San José to help set City priorities, and guide the City's fiscal future.
This series of community budget meetings are an opportunity to share information on the budget process and gather valuable input from the community. Due to the County’s existing shelter-in-place orders, the Mayor held this community budget meeting virtually, with a telephone call-in option.

A
Well
welcome.
My
name
is
Sam
Lockhart.
Oh,
it's
my
honor
to
serve
you
as
mayor
and
I
want
to
welcome
everyone
to
our
first.
What
will
be
several
community
budget
meetings?
This
one
will
be
entirely
in
English,
but
we
will
have
additional
meetings.
I
know,
starting.
Let's
see
we
have
a
community
meeting
on
Saturday
and
then
another
one
I
think
on
the
18th
that
wou
have
a
Spanish
language
translator,
if
you
have
any
friends
or
family
you'd
like
to
join
us
in
Spanish
and
then
thereafter,
one
meeting
in
Vietnamese
and
we'll
talk
about
that.
A
That's
the
20th
great
Thank,
You
Henry
that
will
be
on
the
20th.
So
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
these
meetings
and
by
all
means
encourage
neighbors
or
friends
to
join
us.
I
am
joined
today
by
several
senior
leaders
on
our
city
team
I'll
just
introduce
them,
and
then
they
may
be
jumping
in
at
different
times
as
questions
come
in
from
members
of
the
community
and
they'll
be
able
to
offer
their
own
expertise.
A
Grateful
to
have
Jill
born
our
director
of
library
and
all
things-
educational
here
in
the
city
and
under
my
yesterday,
who's
who
also
serves
as
a
senior
official
in
our
library
team,
Nancy,
Klein,
Office
economic
development,
john
Ciccarelli
/
public
works.
I'm
sorry,
not
public
works,
he's
the
director
ports
and
Neighborhood
Services
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services,
Heather
Randall,
who
is
a
deputy
chief,
I'm,
sorry
assistant
chief
in
our
Police
Department
and
Jim
Shannon
who's.
A
The
man
responsible
for
producing
these
very
large
binders
like
this
one
here
that
we're
all
burned
with
this
time
of
year
he's
our
budget
director
and
he
is
his
team-
have
not
been
getting
much
sleep
lately
as
they
put
together.
What
was
just
released
this
last
night,
I
believe
last
night,
as
the
city
managers
proposed
city
budget,
that
contains
sort
of
a
first
cut
at
how
our
city
is
going
to
grapple
with
a
very
significant
deficit
that
we
know
we
have
in
the
coming
year.
A
We
really
are
grateful
to
him
and
his
team
for
all
their
hard
work,
really
dealing
with
a
very,
very
certain
situation.
I
think
everyone
recognizes
that
there
are
no
crystal
balls
here
and
what
Jim
and
his
team
have
done
is
essentially
used
the
best
estimates
they
can
to
try
to
understand
how
to
make
good
decisions.
The
best
decisions
we
possibly
can
make
at
a
time
of
limited
information.
So
what
I
like
to
do
in
this
meeting
is
to
present
some
basic
information
about
the
budget
and
about
the
process.
A
So
everybody
understands
how
that
works,
and
then
I
like
to
just
to
go
to
members
of
the
community,
and
everyone
has
up
to
two
minutes
to
either
ask
a
question
or
or
offer
any
observation
you
might
want
to
make,
and
we
will
be
happy
to
try
to
respond
to
those
questions.
It
is
done
on
me
I'm,
looking
at
the
number
of
participants
in
our
well
over
100.
So
in
the
interest
of
time.
A
Let
me
ask
this:
let
me
just
ask
if
everyone
could
confine
their
questions
or
comments
to
one
minute
and
hopefully
that
will
enable
enough
time
for
a
response.
If
you're
looking
for
an
answer
to
a
particular
question
from
one
of
our
resident
experts
here,
I'm
going
to
share
my
slides
here
with
everyone-
hopefully
I'll
get
this
right.
There's
the
PowerPoint
and
I
just
want
to
check
in
Jim
and
Joe
able
to
see
that.
A
Okay,
apparently
there
we
are.
Thank
you
all
right,
we're
all
becoming
zoom
experts
in
this
era.
So
here's
our
agenda
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
process,
the
timeline,
the
impacts,
obviously
encoded,
on
what
we're
doing.
What
is
the
proposed
budget,
some
of
the
anticipated
service
reductions
and
then
get
right
to
your
questions
and
your
comments.
So
thank
you
all
for
taking
the
time
I
remember
the
community.
A
We
know
your
time
is
scarce
and
you've
got
families
and
careers
and
jobs
to
worry
about,
and
we
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
join
us.
Okay,
first,
here's
the
process
you
are
here
that
is
this
period
in
the
middle
of
May.
When
we're
engaging
community
budget
meetings,
we've
already
had
an
early
round
a
budget
message,
I
released
way
back
in
early
March
well
before
we
knew
much
about
what
was
coming.
A
At
that
point,
I
noted
in
my
budget
message
we
had
just
had
our
first
case
of
community
transmission
and
I
had
expressed
very
serious
concerns
about
what
was
likely
to
happen.
Given
the
fact
we
knew
there
was
community
transmission
and
likely
had
been
happening,
as
we
now
know,
for
many
weeks
already,
and
so
I
proposed
a
budget
that
essentially
set
aside
more
than
50
million
dollars
of
revenues
and
and
savings
to
ensure
that
we
would
have
some
cushion
for
rough
road
ahead
and
a
rough
road
is
what
we've
got
now.
A
So
the
good
news
is
the
council
approved
that
direction.
We
now
have
the
proposed
operating
budget,
as
you
can
see,
as
released
last
night.
We'll
have
several
study
sessions
over
the
next
several
days
and
then
some
initial
public
hearings
with
the
council
on
the
21st
and
I
will
release
a
june
message
on
june
8th.
That
will
essentially
be
my
final
word
on
what
I
believe
we
can
pay
for
and
what
we
can't
and
then
we'll
have
a
final
round
of
hearings
and
council
decisions
on
that
message.
A
A
We
took
on
that
responsibility
at
the
request
of
the
county
as
the
large
city
in
the
region.
We
recognize
that
is
a
responsibility
of
ours.
The
challenge,
of
course,
is
that
we've
got
to
find
a
way
to
pay
for
all
that,
and
we
also
need
people
to
be
able
to
help
organize
and
and
ensure
that
distribution
is
new
people,
and
so
we
have
essentially
repurposed
a
hundred
and
sixty
employees,
who
might
have
been
previously
working
in
a
finance
department
or
libraries
or
somewhere
else,
and
they
were
becoming
food
distribution
experts
and
I'm.
A
Just
so
grateful
that
so
many
members
of
our
city
team
have
been
so
incredibly
nimble
and
so
willing
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
help
serve
a
community
and
time
of
need
and
I
think
they're
doing
an
incredible
job
under
the
very
difficult
circumstances
they're
facing.
We
were
also
taking
on
distribution
of
other
critical
needs.
We
know
a
lot
of
families
without
a
paycheck.
Now
can't
afford
the
basic
things
for
their
for
their
babies,
like
diapers
and
infant
formula,
and
so
along
with
our
food
distribution.
We're
taking
that
on
as
well.
A
We've
been
raising
a
lot
of
money.
That
number
is
now
more
than
twenty
five
million
dollars
that
we've
raised
for
for
needy
families.
These
are
many
of
our
hard-working
families
in
our
community
that
simply
don't
have
paychecks
right
now
we
raise
another
million
and
a
half
for
small
businesses.
We
just
started
the
small
business
grant
program
a
couple
days
ago.
A
There's
our
small
ten
thousand
dollar
grants
for
small
businesses
that
need
them
to
keep
folks
aboard,
and
we
want
to
do
everything
we
can
to
help
and,
of
course,
we've
been
really
tremendously
buoyed
by
the
volunteer
energy.
In
our
community,
as
soon
as
we
put
up
the
Silicon
Valley
strong
dot-org
website,
we
had
within
a
matter
of
hours
more
than
two
thousand
volunteers.
A
Now
more
than
3,300
volunteers,
they're
volunteering
primarily
in
helping
us
distribute
food
and
other
necessities,
but
we
are
grateful
for
all
the
work
that
our
many
volunteers
are
doing
and,
of
course,
we've
been
hustling
to
try
to
ensure
we
can
get
more
testing
sites
available
in
San
Jose
in
partnership
with
the
county,
and
we've
been
able
to
make
some
recent
very
positive
announcements,
verily
doubling
its
capacity
now
serving
our
residents
with
free
testing,
emphasize
free
testing.
You
don't
need
insurance,
you
don't
need
to
pay.
A
You
just
need
to
go
online
to
register
and
you
can
get
tested
the
marilee
site
at
the
county
fairgrounds
or
at
Cal
Stadium,
and
there
are
additional
testing
sites
available
through
up,
come
care
and
other
providers
throughout
the
city
as
well.
If
you're,
kaiser
member
you
can
we
go
to
kaiser,
so
we
want
to
encourage
everybody
to
get
tested.
Cost
is
no
barrier
to
that
all
right.
We
know
that
there
are
the
most
severe
impacts
in
many
ways.
A
This
virus,
you
know
the
good
news
is
our
community-
is
done
incredibly
good
job
of
flattening
the
curve
of
really
following
the
the
orders
of
our
county
public
health
authorities,
and
that
has
saved
thousands
of
lives.
To
be
sure,
it
is
obviously
tragic
that
we've
lost
more
than
a
hundred
lives
in
our
county
as
a
result
of
this.
But
the
good
news
is:
we've
saved
thousands
as
we
look
at
what's
happening
in
other
places
throughout
the
country.
But
of
course
we
know
that
this
is
a
pandemic.
A
That's
impoverishing
many
of
our
families,
and
these
are
estimates
that
were
provided
by
a
consultant,
we're
working
with
BCG
about
what
it
looks
like
for
many
of
the
industries
over
the
next
year
or
so,
and
what
you're
seeing
our
percentage
drops,
essentially
in
a
gross
domestic
product
or
sales
that
would
be
best
shorthand
to
describe.
Basically,
the
revenues
are
generating
these
in
these
in
these
industries
and
obviously
it's
most
severe
in
areas
like
leisure
and
hospitality.
That
means
hotels,
travel
and
then,
of
course,
in
retail
trade.
A
As
you
can
see,
those
are
the
two
most
severely
impacted
sectors
and
that
matters,
obviously,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
residents
who
are
employed
in
restaurants
and
hotels
at
the
airport,
in
driving
for
uber
or
lyft,
or
driving
a
taxi
or
working
in
a
retail
store.
So
that's
a
huge
impact
on
all
them.
It's
also
a
big
impact
on
the
city,
because
we
depend
a
lot
on
those
sectors
to
provide
us
with
tax
revenue
and
then,
of
course,
the
real
impacted
jobs.
It's
very
real.
A
This
is
a
study
really
on
what
are
the
most
vulnerable
counties
with
regard
to
job
loss
or
other
vulnerabilities,
and
by
vulnerable
we
mean
someone
who
is,
for
example,
losing
hours
or
losing
pay
or
maybe
having
to
be
on
furlough
or
losing
their
job
altogether.
And
what
we're
seeing
is
that
roughly
34%
about
a
third
of
our
jobs
in
this
county
are
vulnerable
in
some
way
to
one
of
those
outcomes,
meaning
folks
are
losing
income,
and
that
is
I
say
a
huge
challenge
that
many
families
who
are
already
struggling.
A
Ok,
so
we
know
the
budgetary
impacts
will
follow
with
the
economy,
and
that
means
we're
tightening
our
belt.
We
also
have
increased
expenses
to
respond
to
the
new
needs
and
in
the
face
of
this
pandemic,
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
closures
and
unemployment
that
we're
grappling
with
in
the
months
ahead.
We
know
these
are
tough
times,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
pull
together
to
get
through
them
and
get
to
the
other
side.
A
What
we're
seeing
in
cities
throughout
the
state
is
severe
losses
in
revenues.
This
is
nothing
new
and
this
is
nothing
unique
and
it
is
a
challenge
we
also
know
there
are
lots
of
new
expenses
that
cities
are
having
to
spend
money
on
for
things
like
PPE
and
ensuring
that
all
of
our
workers
can
work
remotely
to
the
extent
possible.
A
The
federal
funding
support,
although
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
dollars
and
I,
know
that
there's
already
been
claims
of
various
employee
groups
that
we
should
be
using
federal
dollars
for
particular
uses.
The
problem
is
that
it's
not
up
to
us
it's
up
to
the
federal
government
and
specifically
the
statute
that
provides
for
those
dollars
and
most
prominently,
be
the
cares
Act,
which
has
enabled
direct
funding
of
more
than
one
hundred
seventy
eight
million
dollars
to
see
San
Jose.
We
can't
use
that
money
to
fill
for
gaps
in
our
budget.
A
We
can't
use
it
to
pay,
for
example,
for
librarians
or
for
police
officers
that
we
previously
had
budgeted.
It
can
only
be
used
for
essentially
pandemic
response
and
for
a
very
limited
set
of
expenditures,
and
if
we
were
to
try
to
do
otherwise,
we
would
face
severe
repercussions,
in
other
words,
we'd
have
to
backfill
pay
or
whatever
we
spent,
and
that
just
puts
a
steeper
in
the
hole.
A
So
we've
got
to
follow
the
rules
with
the
federal
funding
and
so
I
know,
you'll
hear
quite
a
bit
the
media
about
what
federal
dollars
may
or
may
not
be
available
as
of
yet
most
of
those
dollars
are
not
dollars
that
we
can
tap
for
basic
city
services.
So
here's
what
typical
budget
looks
like
it
is
divided
into
three
general
categories
and
some
of
you,
who've,
been
along
for
the
ride
on
previous
budget
discussions
of
mine
and
are
familiar
with
this
chart.
A
You've
got
three
basic
categories:
a
general
fund,
the
capital
funds
and
special
funds,
I'm
going
to
just
describe
what
they
are
very
briefly:
special
funds
or
funds
for
particular
enterprises
that
we
have,
for
example,
the
airport
or
the
sewage
treatment
plant.
These
are
dollars
that
have
to
be
used
or
restricted
for
the
particular
enterprise
where
they're
generated.
For
example,
we
have
sewer
fees
that
are
paid
under
law.
They
can
only
be
used
to
support
the
sewer
system
and
the
water
treatment
system,
and
those
are
the
only
places
those
dollars
can
go.
A
We
can't
use
them
to
pave
streets
or
or
to
put
librarians
and
libraries.
They
can
only
be
used
for
those
purposes.
Similarly,
at
the
airport
we
generate
passenger
fees
and
fees
from
airlines.
Those
can
only
be
used
under
federal
law
at
the
airport
for
those
purposes,
so
special
funds
about
two
billion
dollars
now
also
a
really
key
component
of
this
very
large
component.
As
soon
as
a
clean-energy,
our
energy
utility,
which
is
providing
now
electricity
to
99
percent
of
our
residents
and
businesses
and
it
costs
lower
than
PG&E
s,
that's
good
news.
A
We
cannot
tap
any
of
that
money
for
any
other
purpose
under
the
law,
so
it
is
what
it
is
and
for
the
most
part
of
budgetary
discussions,
don't
tend
to
wander
into
those
special
funds.
Very
often,
the
capital
funds,
as
the
name
implies,
are
really
used
for
capital
construction,
either
for
land
acquisition
for
actually
building
things
and
again,
typically,
those
dollars
are
restricted
under
the
law.
For
example,
if
a
developer
pays
a
fee,
a
parks
fee
or
an
affordable
housing
fee,
those
dollars
are
then
used
for
capital,
construction,
for
affordable
housing
or
for
parks.
A
They
can't
be
used,
for
example,
to
pay
for
park
maintenance
typically
or
for
a
park
ranger.
They
can
only
be
used
to
actually
build
out
a
park
or
buy
land
for
a
park.
So
again,
those
are
very
restricted
funds,
but
we
have
about
a
billion
dollars
there,
because
we
have
big
projects
going
on,
for
example,
at
the
water
treatment
plant
in
other
places,
and
then
obviously
the
general
fund
at
one
point
1
billion
dollars.
A
That
is
the
place
where
all
the
conversation
focuses
that
those
are
the
dollars
that
are
the
most
flexible
and
those
are
the
dollars
that
tend
to
fund
the
services
that
most
of
our
residents
depend
on
and
think
of,
most
often
when
we
consider
city
services
as
police
and
fire
and
libraries
and
planning
and
many
other
purposes,
ok.
So
this
is
what
our
general
fund
looks
like.
The
1.1
billion
dollars
is
estimated
based
on
the
city
managers
projections.
A
Obviously
this
can
all
change
as
we
know
it
will
change,
because
this
economy
is
shifting
very
quickly
under
our
feet.
But,
as
you
can
see,
the
two
primary
sources
of
revenue
are
property.
Tax
and
sales.
Tax
property
tax
will
remain
relatively
constant
in
the
coming
year.
It
will
drop
significantly
2
to
3
years
out
as
people
file
their
prop
8
applications
with
the
assessor's
office
and
reduce
their
property
tax
assessments.
A
So
we'll
feel
that
pain
in
a
couple
years-
it's
just
not
yet
sales
tax
will
feel
immediately
and
there
will
be
significant
drops
there
and
there
are
other
taxes
that
will
also
be
very
sensitive.
You
see
one
out
the
top
says
transient
occupancy
tax,
that's
our
hotel
tax
and
we
expect
that
we'll
have
a
very
steep
drop
as
well
so
shortfall.
It's
estimated
for
the
next
year
is
a
little
less
than
70.
A
Well,
the
revenue
shortfall
is
from
almost
seventy
nine
million
dollars,
we're
gonna
be
cutting
some
expenditures,
not
actually
going
to
be
cut,
and
so
the
total
deficit
is
72
million.
I
should
say
that
the
72
million
dollar
shortfall
is
on
top
of
another
forty
five
million
dollar
deficit
that
we
just
solved
two
weeks
ago
for
the
current
year.
A
So
let
me
explain
how
it
works
the
current
fiscal
year
and
on
June
30th
of
this
month,
I'm
sorry
this
year,
the
next
fiscal
year
begins
on
July
1st,
so
we
knew
right
away
as
soon
as
kovat
hit.
What
we
had
was
a
surplus
of
a
few
million
bucks
that
away
went
away
instantly.
We
suddenly
had
a
forty
five
million
dollar
deficit
because
of
all
the
expenses
we
had
to
make
to
address
the
kovat
crisis
and
the
credible,
steep
drop
in
the
economy
killed
a
lot
of
revenues.
A
So
we
used
a
lot
of
reserves
to
address
that
45
million
dollar
deficit
we
had
in
this
current
year
now
we've
got
a
72
million
dollar
deficit,
we've
got
to
fix
for
the
coming
year
and
let
me
just
explain
the
good
news.
The
good
news
is
that
for
five
years
we've
been
tightening
our
belt
and
we've
been
very
disciplined
about
how
we've
been
spending.
We've
been
avoiding
a
lot
of
ongoing
commitments
for
expenditures.
We
have
been
saving
money,
we've
been
paying
down
debt
and
we've
been
building
reserves.
A
So
all
that
hard
work
we've
been
doing
during
the
good
times
for
the
last
five
years
is
helping
us
a
time
like
this,
because
we
were
able
to
address
that
45
million
dollar
deficit
without
any
cuts
in
service
whatsoever,
because
we
had
reserves
built
up,
we'd
been
saving
money,
it's
gonna
be
obviously
a
lot
harder
going
forward.
So
let's
talk
about
how
we're
gonna
do
it
going
forward?
A
A
What
we're
projecting
is
worse
than
the
Great
Recession
appropriately
based
on
all
we
know
about
the
economy,
we
may
be
at
20,
25
percent
unemployment
by
time
went
down
here,
and
it
would
not
surprise
me
one
bit
if
our
revenue
drop
was
even
worse
than
nine
point
three
percent
based
on
what
I'm
hearing
from
other
sources,
including
the
state
of
California.
So
here's
what
it
looks
like
the
steepest
drops,
of
course,
are
in
business
tax
and
sales
tax,
but
lots
of
drops
throughout
our
revenue
sources
for
net
loss
of
nearly
79
million
dollars.
A
If
there
are
areas
where
I
would
suspect
that
our
losses
could
be
quite
a
bit
worse,
it
would
probably
be
in
areas
of
hotel
tax
and
sales
tax
for
other
projections.
Even
worse
sales
tax
projection
is
a
16%
drop.
I
know
the
state
is
using
a
27%
drop
as
a
testament,
so
it
gives
you
a
sense
of
what
the
range
of
estimates
are
out
there
right
now.
The
truth
is,
nobody
knows
we're.
Just
gonna
use
the
best
numbers
we
can
so
our
balancing
strategies
for
fixing
this
I
mentioned.
A
There
was
a
45
million
dollar
shortfall
in
the
last
year.
That
is
our
current
year.
I
should
say:
we've
addressed
that
fully.
We
have
hiring
freezes
with
vacancy
savings,
uses
some
some
reserves
and
savings
and
suspending
some
of
our
non-essential
expenditures.
The
harder
cuts
have
come
obviously
in
the
next
year,
and
that's
what
we
have
to
cut
some
ongoing
spending.
We're
gonna
use
some
more
savings
and
we're
gonna
use.
Some
creative
refinancings
and
some
partnerships
with
local
companies
are
gonna,
help
us
out
with
revenue.
So
I'll
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
that.
A
The
reality
is
the
toughest
conversations
are
going
to
be
around
that
bullet,
that
you
see
on
the
right
side
of
the
page,
the
top
bullet
department,
service
level,
reductions,
we're
simply
going
to
reduce
services,
and
that's
the
reality
of
having
not
enough
money,
and
it
won't
be
just
this
year.
I
expect
it
will
continue
the
following
year
as
well.
Now,
because
recessions
are
never
over
that
quickly
and
this
one
certainly
won't
be
it's.
A
A
So
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
past.
As
you
can
see,
we
know
very
well
those
days
the
Great
Recession
when
we
saw
this
very
significant
deficits
for
three
years
at
averaged
about
a
hundred
million
dollars
a
year,
as
you
can
see,
we're
back
in
that
timeframe
again.
The
current
deficit
exceeding
70
million
would
not
surprise
me
if,
within
a
few
weeks,
we
see
that
number
get
even
steeper.
A
But
that's
where
we're
at
right
now,
through
some
very
painful
cuts
and
decisions
we
made
in
2011
and
2012
we're
able
to
balance
those
budgets
we'll
have
to
make
similar
kinds
of
decisions
they're,
not
the
same
ones.
Obviously,
we've
learned
some
lessons
that
we
won't
repeat
some
of
those
mistakes,
but
we
know
that
some
of
those
very
tough
decisions
about
cutting
will
have
to
be
made
again.
Okay,
here's
our
5-year
general
fund
forecast,
based
on
what
we
saw
way
back
in
February.
You
can
throw
this
out
the
door
because
it
doesn't
matter.
A
This
is
what
we
projected
if
we
had
a
recession
sometime
in
the
twenty
twenty
one,
twenty
two
timeframe
is
what
it
would
look
like.
Of
course,
we
know
that
recession
effect
is
now
accelerated
considerably,
and
it's
quite
a
bit
steeper
to
back.
Then
we
projected
recession
would
put
us
in
a
deficit
scenario.
Fifty
three
million.
We
know
it's
gonna,
be
quite
a
bit
deeper
here.
A
Alright,
so
here
are
the
service
reductions
that
are
anticipated
in
the
city
managers
for
post
budget,
one
hundred
and
three
positions
that
are
eliminated
most
of
these
are
vacant
positions
or
can
be
resolved
through
what
we
call
bumping.
So
we
won't
actually
be
pushing
employees
out
the
door.
That's
the
good
news,
we'll
be
able
to
keep
our
City
team
intact,
but
obviously
services
will
suffer
in
all
of
these
areas
and
I
think
most
prominently.
A
I
think
you'll
probably
hear
a
lot
about
libraries
and
Parks
in
particular,
because
I
know
those
are
some
of
the
services
that
are
closest
to
our
residents
and
I
know
we'll
probably
hear
a
lot
of
concerns
about
those
cuts.
I'll
talk
about
those
in
a
moment.
First,
we'll
start
with
public
safety,
we're
gonna,
eliminate
some
vacant
community
service
officer
positions
and
we're
also
gonna
halt
what
we
call
or
hire
ahead
program
for
officers.
You
know.
Basically,
we
have
big
ambitions
about
rebuilding
our
Police
Department.
A
Obviously,
all
this
is
based
on
what
we
know
today.
Well,
we
know
tomorrow
or
next
week
could
change
dramatically.
So
this
is
just
based
on
our
current
city
manager's
projections
from
their
budget
office,
and
so
these
are
the
tentative
proposed
cuts
for
this
June,
and
then
I
mentioned
both
parks
and
libraries.
Now
we're
going
to
be
having
to
discontinue
a
lot
of
the
place,
making
events
that
we
had
part
of
that
is
simply
compelled
by
the
nature
of
our
public
health
crisis.
A
We
know
that
we,
the
coyote
of
the
parks
and
all
those
kinds
of
wonderful
events
that
we
hope
we'll
be
able
to
bring
back
as
soon
as
possible.
They
wouldn't
be
that
likely
to
happen
anyway,
based
on
the
public
health
order.
Similarly,
the
aquatic
programs
are
public
pools.
Those
are
programs
that
we
will
not
likely
to
be
able
to
manage,
so
we're
simply
going
to
cut
the
program,
save
the
money
for
now
repurpose
it
for
City
savings.
A
So
hopefully
we
can
come
back
stronger
in
future
years
and
of
course,
family
can,
but
you
assembly
as
well.
We
know
all
of
these.
All
of
these
programs
were
greatly
valued
by
our
families,
and
we
want
to
do
everything
we
can
to
get
them
back
just
as
soon
as
both
the
public
health
situation
and
the
economy
enable
us
to
do
so
next
on
libraries,
this
is
some
real
bad
news.
A
I
know
for
many
library
lovers
who
have
been
buoyed
by
the
incredible
success
our
library
team
has
had
at
be
building
that
department
and
really
not
just
restoring
services
but
transforming
services
in
a
way
that
made
our
libraries
so
much
more
relevant
in
the
lives
of
our
families,
particularly
of
our
young
students.
We
are
going
to
be
reducing
public
operating
hours
by
four
hours
a
week.
We
know
that
will
affect
families
when
we
do
everything
you
can
to
soften
the
blow
in
every
way
we
can.
A
There
are
small
number
one
time,
programs,
one
time
funded
programs
last
year
that
have
been
included,
some
have
been
cut
and
some
of
the
ones
that
have
been
eliminated
or
downtown
foot
patrol
program,
a
program
we
had
for
homeless
residents,
where
we
essentially
a
pilot
program
where
we
paid
them
cash
in
exchange
for
their
willingness
to
clean
up
and
provide
bags
of
trash
to
us,
and
then
the
beautify
says
a
neighborhood
grants.
That
program
has
been
scaled
back
a
bit,
so
there
won't
be
as
many
grants
this
year
as
in
years
past.
Okay.
A
The
good
news
is,
we
are
maintaining
our
commitment
as
expect
we
will
continue
to
do
so
to
ensure
every
dollar
that's
generated
through
that
source
remains
for
affordable
housing.
Well,
you
see
in
the
background
here
are
tiny
homes
that
were
finished
recently,
just
east
of
101.
Actually,
this
is
not
far
from
my
house
over
off
a
Mayberry
Road,
where
we've
got
a
second
site
under
construction
today
that
will
also
house
another
40
or
so
homeless.
Individuals,
this
transitional
housing,
that's
helping
folks
get
back
on
their
feet.
Many
of
you
may
have
read.
A
We
have
three
other
sites
where
we're
building
with
prefab
modular
housing,
transitional
and
sheltered
housing
for
homeless
individuals
for
more
than
300
individuals
and
families,
and
one
of
those
projects
is
under
construction.
Now
it
should
be
done
within
the
next
three
or
four
weeks,
which
is
tremendous
pace
and
we're
happy
to
see
those
that
work,
accelerate
and
then
measure
T.
This
is
a
measure
that
passed
back
in
2018.
A
You
may
recall
this
is,
was
promoted
as
an
infrastructure
and
public
safety
measure,
because
that's
what
it
pays
for
a
lot
of
cap
NEADS
in
that
space
by
infrastructure
we
mean
things
like
road
replacement
and
repair
and
repaving.
So
last
year
we
were
able
to
repave
more
miles
of
roads
than
we
have
in
the
last
quarter
century
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
maintain
that
level
of
road
paving
because
we
know
our
roads
need
a
lot
of
work
and
there's
a
lot
of
jobs
there
and
that's
a
good
thing.
A
Public
Safety
we're
gonna
continue,
for
example,
for
with
the
construction
of
fire
station
37
and
the
other
kinds
of
public
safety
improvements
that
were
contemplating
that
measure
T
and
then
one
that's
gotten.
A
lot
of
media
attention.
I
know
the
fifty
million
dollars
or
so
that
we're
spending
to
preserve
land
in
coyote,
Valley
and
partnership,
with
open
space,
trust
and
open
space
authority,
and
that's
going
to
help
us
within
very
in
various
ways,
but
certainly
with
Public
Safety,
reducing
wildfire
risk
to
the
southern
edge
of
our
city.
A
Reducing
flooding
risk
to
our
downtown
in
southern
parts
of
our
city,
as
well
as
protecting
our
underground,
odd
force
and
our
water
supply.
Ensuring
we
have
clean
water
in
addition
to
the
many
environmental
benefits.
So
all
those
spending
commitments
will
go
forward
as
planned
as
we
committed
to
the
voters
and
then
there's
also
a
lot
of
programs
that
we
want
to
continue.
Maintain.
That
will
be
supporting
opportunity.
A
Our
bridge
program
for
transitional
jobs
for
the
homeless
soon
as
it
works
program
which
helps,
has
helped
more
than
4,000
teenagers
get
their
first
job
and
summertime
obviously
lie
that's
going
to
depend
on
the
public
health
order
about
how
much
going
to
be
able
to
do
and
where
and
then,
of
course,
our
after-school
learning
programs,
as
they
learned
focusing
on
our
lowest
income
communities,
where
we
know
it's
so
hard
for
kids
to
be
able
to
get
access
to
those
programs,
we're
going
to
continue
supporting
those
programs.
We
know
how
essential
they
are
in
the
community.
A
I'm
proud
each
one
of
those
programs
started
when
I
was
mayor,
and
we
want
to
do
everything
we
can
just
about
commitment
those
programs
moving
forward
and
we're
gonna
try
to
find
new
opportunities
amid
this
crisis,
and
we
think
there
are
actually
opportunities
in
this
crisis
is
incredible.
The
hardships
are
for
so
many
of
our
families
since
terrible
time
as
this
is,
we
keep
them
our
opportunity
share,
and
one
of
those
opportunities
is
in
closing.
The
digital
divide.
A
I
was
just
on
the
phone
on
the
zoom
call
today,
with
a
an
executive
of
the
tech
company
and
they're
starting
to
get
involved
with
us.
We've
had
I've
got
about
a
million
dollars
in
commitments
so
far
over
the
last
few
weeks
and
we
continue
that
work
to
get
more
commitments,
and
we
may
have
some
opportunities
with
federal
dollars
as
well
to
try
to
get
more
of
our
youth
online
so
that
they
can
learn.
We
know.
A
Distance
learning
is
essential
right
now,
because
schools
cannot
simply
cannot
educate
kids
without
online
access,
and
so
we've
worked
very
hard
with
our
our
partners.
For
example,
the
County
Office
of
Education
learn
and
one
captain
ones
been
I'm.
Sorry,
I
should
say
dr.
Don
has
been
a
really
instrumental
and
our
efforts
along
with
East
Side,
Union,
High,
School,
District
and
others,
while
we're
building
out
some
infrastructure
to
help
expand
Wi-Fi
opportunities.
We've
already
had
more
than
6,000
families,
around
James
Lake,
High
School
able
to
get
online
for
free
with
a
Wi-Fi
network.
A
That's
provided
jointly
between
school
district
in
the
city
when
reconstruction
on
another
one
round
over
felt
high
and
then
we'll
begin.
Your
but
Wayne,
and
thereafter
and
very
soon
other
school
areas,
the
catchment
areas,
the
enrollment
areas
for
those
high
school
and
their
surrounding
neighborhoods,
will
then
be
connected
and
lots
of
families
will
be
able
to
get
online
and
their
kids
will
be
learning.
That's
critical
for
us
housing.
The
homeless
I
mentioned
that
there
are
opportunities
for
us
to
move
more
quickly
with
prefab
and
modular
housing,
transitional
housing
for
the
homeless.
A
We
can
build
in
four
weeks
what
might
have
taken
us
four
years
to
build,
and
so
we
want
to
take
advantage
of
this
opportunity
to
actually
address
these
crises,
that
we
have
around
distance
learning
and
homelessness
and
then,
of
course,
seeing
how
we
can
support
resilience
in
our
city
by
bringing
our
commerce
outdoors.
You
may
have
heard
of
this
and
just
recently
initiative
that
I
introduced
with
councilmember
Deb,
Davis
San
Jose
al
fresco.
We
know
we
have
300
days
of
sunny
year.
A
We
should
be
taking
advantage
of
that
I
think
many
of
us
would
enjoy
seeing
more
of
our
restaurants
and
our
other
businesses
outside.
We
think
there's
a
great
opportunity
for
yoga
studios
and
gyms
and
retailers
are
various
kinds
to
be
able
to
be
outside
if
we
make
it
safe
for
them
to
do
so,
and
that
will
enable
hopefully
for
them
to
be
able
to
reopen
at
a
time
the
county
deems
as
appropriate.
A
Obviously,
it
will
be
incumbent
upon
any
change
in
decision
the
public
health
authorities
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
those
businesses
open,
but
we
hope
by
creating
this
outdoor
model
of
Commerce.
That
may
be
something
that
sticks
with
us
in
a
long
term
to
make
our
our
streetscape
in
our
city,
more
vibrant,
ok,
so
a
june
message
will
be
coming
on
june.
8Th
will
be
telling
you
more
about
that
in
the
weeks
ahead
and,
of
course,
there
may
be
additional
budget
reductions
if
it
looks
as
though
these
numbers
are
in
fact
not
pessimistic
enough.
A
I
know
that's
pretty
bad,
but
yes,
they
can
be
worse.
As
we
see
more
data
coming
in
about
sales,
tax
revenue
and
the
timing
of
economic
reopening
being
slowed
or
sped
up,
that's
going
to
change
everything
about
our
budgetary
projections,
and
we
are,
you
know,
essentially
planning
that
we
may
be
coming
back
in
early
fall
in
September
with
another
12
million
dollars
in
cots,
essentially
with
potential
position
eliminations,
because
we
know
we're
not
done
here
and
there's
a
lot.
A
We
don't
know
and
we're
going
to
learn
a
lot
in
the
next
few
weeks,
and
so
we're
gonna
try
to
do
this
and
then
it's
collaborative
away
as
possible
in
a
way
that's
as
transparent
as
possible,
and
that's
a
perfect
time
for
me
to
stop
at
this
time
and
to
hear
any
questions
or
concerns
that
you
have.
What
I'm
going
to
do
is
is
I
am
going
to
go
to
participant
lists.
We
have
more
than
140
attendees
and
appreciate
all
of
your
patience.
A
I'll
ask
you
if
you
can
raise
your
hand,
that
is
your
virtual
hand
online
here
and
I
will
call
you
in
the
name
that
I
see
your
hand.
I
would
just
ask
if
you
could,
if
you
could
limit
your
comments
or
your
questions
to
a
minute
we're
going
to
do
our
best
to
get
to
every
question
we
possibly
can,
and
we
thank
you
again
for
your
patience
and
your
willingness
to
engage
with
us.
Adalia
rawson
you're
up
first
welcome
if
you
could
just
unmute
your
device.
Yes,.
C
I'm
Dalia
Rosslyn
and
I'm,
the
director
of
new
ballet
here
in
San
Jose
I,
just
wanted
to
mention
that
the
Office
of
Cultural
Affairs
is
of
course
so
important
to
us
and
to
so
many
arts
organizations
in
the
city.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
we
do
count
on
funding
from
the
Office
of
Cultural,
Affairs
and
I
hope
that
that
will
not
be
one
of
the
major
pets
for
next
year.
I
appreciate
the
days
of
many
many
difficult
decisions
to
be
made.
Thanks
thanks.
A
Delia-
and
you
know
what
thank
you
for
reminding
me
I
should
have
mentioned-
you
know
obviously
we're
seeing
with
sharp
reductions
in
hotel
tax.
We
know
that
some
of
those
programs
for
the
Arts
are
going
to
be
impacted.
There's
no
question.
We're
gonna
be
using
some
reserves
to
soften
the
blow
next
year
and
that
T
or
T
fund
that
is
used
to
fund
the
Arts.
But
there's
no
question:
it's
we're.
C
C
A
Dean
there
is
a
hiring
freeze
now
in
the
city
as
to
every
position,
except
for
Public
Safety's
minors.
My
understanding
there
is
one
of
our
13
bargaining
units,
that
is,
the
police
union,
has
an
expiring
contract,
and
your
points
are
very
well
taken
about
the
fact
that
this
is
not
a
time
once
we're
going
to
be
able
to
offer
big
pay
increases.
So
your
points
are
well-taken
and
understood.
Crisper
Oh.
C
B
C
Feel,
like
all
of
us,
represent
a
presence
that
generates
other
ancillary
revenues
through
restaurants,
parking
bars,
etc.
Even
though,
right
now,
you
can't
go
to
a
restaurant
or
a
bar
anyway.
I
would
only
ask
that
you
consider
an
investment
to
keep
my
brothers
and
sisters
and
art
alive,
I,
think
of
the
stage
and
theatre
companies
and
ballet
company
the
symphony
opera
company.
All
of
us,
we
all
I,
feel
a
very
vibrant
part
of
the
core
of
the
community
and
the
economic
well-being,
Chris.
A
Thank
you,
and,
as
you
were
talking
I
just
was
trying
to
flip
to
the
right
page
in
the
budget.
I
tell
you
what
I'm
gonna
come
back
to
that
issue
about
funding
for
the
Arts
and
the
arts
grants
in
particular.
If
you
just
hang
on
I'll
I'll,
get
to
that
after
our
last
speaker,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
heard
everyone
speak
first
and
I
want
to
make
sure
I
get
you
accurate
information
about
that
about
where
the
numbers
are
gonna
be
so
you
have
a
good
idea.
A
Okay
I'm
told
that
Henry
here
says:
if
you're
concerned
citizen,
you
have
a
problem.
Apparently
you
have
an
old
version
of
the
zoom
software.
That's
not
enabling
you
to
speak
on
the
system.
So
if
you
can't
upgrade
and
update
your
zoom
software
and
then
come
on
back
and
raise
your
hand
we'll
get
you
right
back
in
line.
My
apologies
to
you
concerned
citizen.
But
apparently
this
is
a
feature
of
a
glitch
of
the
software
Becca
Ross
welcome.
C
Does
that
guy
rocks
and
I
am
speaking
on
behalf
of
teen
success
Inc,
which
is
one
of
the
San
Jose
best
program?
Grantees
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
what
your
projections
are
for
the
best
program,
which
is
been
vital
in
supporting
disconnected
youth
and
gain
high
risks
and
gang
impacts
of
you
in
our
impoverished
communities
that
are
also
correlating
directly
with
where
Co
mid-nineteen
is
most
is
hitting
the
hardest.
C
A
Thanks
Becca
there's
no
proposed
cuts
in
the
best
program
and
appreciate
your
points,
and
you
very
much
appreciate
your
work
and
the
work
of
all
of
our
best
partners.
We
understand
it's
critically
important,
particularly
as
we
try
to
ensure
we
were
able
to
provide
more
opportunities
for
our
youth.
So
thank
you
for
for
what
you're
doing
Catherine
hedges
welcome.
C
Welcome
yes,
I,
like
to
echo
Mary
Helens
comments
about
doing
everything,
really
cut
stirring,
equity,
lens
and
I'm
glad
to
see
your
support
up
front
for
affordable
housing,
infrastructure
and
public
safety,
as
well
as
the
opportunity
programs
and
I'm
glad
that
we
can
know
that
the
library
cuts
will
be
a
few
hours
a
week.
I
was
afraid,
I'd
hear
about
the
one
being
open
one
or
two
days
a
week
or
something
so.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
C
C
A
C
C
A
A
You
Christine
I
appreciate
it
it'll
help
me
as
I,
because
somebody
will
ask
well,
who
is
it
that
who
is
it
was
told
who,
but
by
what
by
home
and
if
you
could
just
recount,
whatever
you
heard
and
by
home.
That
would
be
helpful
in
that
way.
We
can
get
to
the
root
of
this.
Thank
you
so
much
Christine
Thank.
C
Hi,
thank
you
for
all
of
the
effort
that
you
clearly
put
into
the
budget
I
just
like
to
know
how
the
city
would
address
youth
geared
programs,
especially
especially
the
Youth
Commission,
and
it's
staffing,
because
I
saw
earlier
in
your
presentation
that
you
said
you
wanted
to
focus
on
improving
the
situation
for
youth
as
well.
Thanks,
okay,.
B
A
B
A
And
Jim,
while
I
got
you,
the
trt
revenue
I
know
is
dropping
sharply
in
terms
of
our
proposed
budget
for
Arts
grants
through
the
three
separate
programs
we
have
for
the
arts.
Could
you
I
was
just
looking
for
the
place
in
the
budget
and
I'm?
Sorry,
it's
I
know
this
just
came
out
so
I'm
not
facile
with
it
all.
Yet
you
just
summarize
a
little
bit
about
where
we're
at
yeah.
B
So
the
so
that
I
think
the
main
source
of
funding
that
that
folks
are
talking
about
so
as
part
of
our
hotel
tax
are
our
transient
occupancy
tax
Tod.
We
often
call
it
so
there's
a
portion
that
goes
to
the
general
fund,
that's
just
to
help
fund
everything
in
the
general
fund
and
then
60%
of
that
goes
to
the
T
ot
ot
fund,
which
is
then
split
in
three
ways.
It
helps
us
provide
services
for
our
Convention
Center,
our
convention,
Visitors
Bureau,
and
to
fund
cultural
arts
programs
and
so
I'm.
B
B
A
I
understand
economic
development.
Now
is
part
of
the
city
manager
portion
of
the
budget.
I
know
that's,
that's
a
new
development,
so
I'm
just
gonna
try
to
get
to
that
page
and
hopefully
I'll
be
able
to
give
folks
precise
numbers.
I
know
we
have
several
folks
are
interested
in
what's
going
on
the
art,
so
we'll
get
back
to
you
on
that
Bobby
Gonzalez
welcome.
C
Awesome
now,
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I
appreciate
the
comments
on
equity
and
so
I
wanted
to
use
my
time
to
ask
about
traffic
calming
and
vision.
Zero
I
really
appreciated
the
increased
investments
recently
in
vision,
zero
and
so
I
know
sometimes
oftentimes,
that's
funded
by
sources
other
than
the
general
fund.
So
I'm
just
sultanate
ly
wondering
if
there
will
be
any
kinds
of
impacts
through
special
revenue
sources,
or
you
know
some
of
those
vacant
positions
being
eliminated
that
might
affect
those
efforts.
C
A
B
So
that's
the
Stephanie
true
mayor,
so
we
do
have
a
couple
of
other
sources
in
the
traffic
capital
fund
that
helps
with
that.
So,
as
the
mayor
was
pointed,
that's
slice
of
the
capital
fund,
so
it's
definitely
resources
still
there
it's
kind
of
a
mixed
mixed
bag,
some
of
the
funding
sources
there.
We
have
seen
some
in
several
large
chunks
of
one-time
funding
that
will
get
us
some
wild
to
help
focus
on
some
bike
and
pedestrian
projects.
B
There's
another
portion
of
it
called
our
construction
excise
tax
fund,
which
is
we'll
be
taking
a
reduction
revenue
as
we
go
into
into
the
recession,
and
we
probably
don't
have
as
much
private
activity
hasn't
used
to
have
those
taxes
are
really
related
to
how
much
construction
activities
happening
in
the
city
as
those
revenues
as
that
activity
goes
down.
The
revenues
will
go
down
too,
but
but
it
is
buffered
by
the
women.
It's
it's
a
gear,
so
some
are
up,
but
some
are
down.
C
Mayor
thanks
for
everything,
you're
doing
I,
know
you're
working
really
hard
to
try
and
keep
things
hold
together
for
our
city
and
take
care
of
our
citizens.
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
drop
in
air
travel
and
what
the
effect
of
that
is
going
to
be
on
the
airport,
funds,
ability
to
pay
and
the
costs
and
the
financing
of
the
outstanding
bonds
as
Epping
consent
contemplated
in
the
general
fund
budget.
A
A
B
You're
right,
the
only
thing
I
would
add,
is
that,
as
part
of
the
cares
Act
funding,
the
airport
gave
receive
a
direct
alcohol
location
about
65
million
dollars
and
that
they,
unlike
the
city,
but
they
Airport,
can
use
that
funding
for
any
any
Airport
corpus,
and
so
that
will
also
be
a
strategy.
W
yeah.
A
That's
a
really
important
admission.
I
forgot
about
so
yeah
that
that
sixty
six
million
is
gonna,
be
critical
for
us
and
obviously
they
don't
already
in
our
hands,
so
we
don't
have
to
apply
for
they're
directly
allocated.
So
the
short
answer
is
I
think
we're
going
to
be
okay
this
year
at
the
airport,
we're
gonna
find
out
in
future
years,
depending
on
how
everything
goes.
A
David,
it's
a
good
question,
so
there
are
some
restrictive
dollars
that
we're
relying
on
for
many
of
our
homeless
programs,
both
the
construction
and
the
services
by
that
I'm,
referring,
for
example,
to
the
head,
half
dollars
that
are
provided
by
the
state
they're
funding,
for
example
this
particular
project,
and
we
contemplated
that
some
of
those
HAP
funds
should
be
set
aside
to
provide
the
services
at
those
sites,
everything
from
on-site
management
to
security
and
other
other
services,
and
so
for
the
next
several
years.
We've
got
some
money
set
aside.
A
So,
in
addition,
obviously
we
rely
on
the
county,
typically
with
most
permanent,
affordable
housing
developments
to
come
in
and
provide
services
like
if
there's
a
need
for
alcohol
or
drug
rehabilitation
or
job
training.
Other
mental
health,
other
kinds
of
services
like
that
and
that's
a
County
County
provided
service,
so
important
question
to
be
sure,
I
think
we're
going
to
be
fine
in
the
foreseeable
future.
By
that
I
mean
the
next
two
to
three
years.
A
Obviously,
the
depth
of
this
very
serious
recession
I
think
we
should
probably
call
it
depression
by
analysis,
we're
talking
about
20
to
25
percent
unemployment.
Obviously,
that's
gonna
that
could
change
a
lot
of
things,
but
at
least
where
we
are
today
I
think
we're
in
good
shape
for
the
next
two
to
three
years.
Okay,
Tom
Trudel
welcome.
A
Hi
Tom
I
think
you
have
to
unmute
your
device.
We're
not
able
to
hear
you
right
now
here
we
go.
Yes.
Thank
you
great
question
regarding
I'm
with
the
Friends
of
the
Friends
of
the
element
in
the
library.
I've
just
got
a
question
regarding:
can
you
get
any
guesstimation
as
to
when
the
library
may
be
reopening
after
the
shelter
in
place
and
what
kind
of
coab
it
mitigations
will
there
be
if
any
or
what
is
the
timeline?
I
haven't
heard
anything
great
question.
I
know:
Jill
born
you're
on
the
line.
Aren't
you
I.
C
Okay,
yeah:
we
are
working
on
a
face
and
approach
that
that
mirrors
the
cities
phases
to
recover
from
the
current
emergency,
and
we
are
definitely
looking
at
a
modified
service
plan
that
we've
actually
built
into
the
budget.
That
would
take
us,
probably
three
to
six
months,
if,
if
we're
able
to
get
to
full
services
by
them,
we're
thinking
everything
from
being
able
to
Institute
sooner
as
soon
as
possible,
some
level
of
materials
pickup
for
our
patrons
but
definitely
needing
to
modify
crowds
and
make
sure
that
staff
and
the
public
are
safe.
C
So
what
I
meant
was
sorry
I
talk
kind
of
fast,
as
you
know,
as
the
city
begins
to
reopen.
We
think
that
we'll
be
able
to
provide
some
services
sooner
than
others,
and
then
we
are
gonna
take
up
to
six
months
to
phase
in
all
of
the
different
types
of
services
that
we
provide
as
long
as
we
can
do
them
safely,
but
I
would
especially
as
a
commissioner.
C
A
A
You
know:
what's
going
on,
obviously
with
the
extent
of
contagion
in
our
in
our
region
and
how
we're
able
to
ramp
up
testing
contact
tracing
all
those
things
and
then,
ultimately,
when
those
orders
are
going
to
change
and
so
we're
just
not
able
to
give
very
good
estimates
because,
as
you
probably
know,
they're,
not
all
that
sure
exactly
how
quickly
they're
going
to
be
able
to
reopen,
and
so
we're
just
gonna
have
to
get
very
unsatisfying
answers
until
we
have
a
clear
picture
when
they're,
when
the
rules
are
going
to
change.
Well,.
C
Possible
infections
on
books,
I
mean
I
mean
obviously,
when
you
locked
up
the
library.
Hopefully
there
wasn't
me
there,
but
I
mean
how
can
you
make
it's
not
a
micro
question
for
us
in
the
library?
So
actually
there
have
been
a
lot
of
studies
being
done
nationally
in
the
library
community
around
understanding
what
the
potential
dangers
are
and
how
to
mitigate
them.
C
And
so
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
about
understanding
what
treatments
may
I
have
to
do
going
forward
and,
as
you
know,
we've
enhanced
our
online
resources
as
well,
and
our
ebook
checkout
is
through
the
roof,
but
we
definitely
want
to
get
our
materials
back
to
the
community.
So
we
will
be
implementing
everything
that
we
need
to
to
ensure
that
our
materials
are
clean
and
saved
great
and.
A
Tom,
of
course,
I'm
not
an
epidemiologist,
but
the
good
news
is
is
that
this
most,
the
studies
I've
seen
suggest
that
the
viral
loads
on
surfaces
are
or
such
that
it's
very
unlikely
that
people
typically
transmission,
will
happen
through
contact
with
a
surface
that
has
been
untouched
for
days
or
weeks.
It's
it's
just
very
unlikely,
but
obviously
motion
tends
to
happen.
Person-To-Person,
but
obviously
we're
gonna,
know
more
in
the
weeks
and
months
ahead.
We're
going
to
follow
the
directions.
Health
authorities,
yeah.
A
C
B
C
A
A
Well,
we're
likely
to
see
is
the
following
years
for
the
next
half
decade
or
so
over
a
period
of
five
years,
which
is
typically
the
time
in
which
that
the
the
actuaries
smooth
out
losses
for
five
years
you're
going
to
see
us
having
to
absorb
the
additional
cost
that
come
with
steep
reductions
in
returns
in
those
pension
plans
and
I
expect.
The
market
will
be
poor
for
many
months
to
come
at
some
point.
Of
course
it
will
rebound
it.
A
We
all
hope
it'll
rebound
strongly,
but
I'm
not
holding
my
breath
so
I
expect
for
several
years,
starting
next
year,
that
is
starting.
The
20
21
22
fiscal
year
is
where
I'm
against
the
sharply
higher
pension
and
retiree
health
care
obligation
payment.
Great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Tony.
Just
a
memory
welcome.
C
A
C
Amer
I
can
respond
Johnson
earlier
of
PRN
s
in
this
first
wave.
It
will
not
be
impacted,
however,
if
we
get
to
a
tier
two,
it
would
be
impacted
and
that
would
be
later
in
the
fall
and
I
think.
The
mayor
can
probably
talk
a
little
about
the
two-tier
plan
or
the
two
package
plan,
but
in
the
immediate
near
future,
no
changes
yeah,
that's
yeah,
that's
good
to
know.
I
just
wanted
to
encourage
you.
We
need
to
keep
our
streets
clean
and,
as
you
know,
we
have
so
many
volunteers.
C
A
A
Let
me
wear
it
yesterday,
so
it
was
good
and
I'm
I'm
gonna.
Do
everything
I
can
to
fight
to
ensure
that
we
keep
those
programs
going,
because
we
really
want
to
leverage
all
that
volunteer
energy
for
the
been
affirmed
unity,
and
certainly
we
know,
we've
got
a
real
challenge
with
the
trash
in
our
city,
so
show
me
of
my
command
I'll
be
pushing,
but
yeah
we've
got.
A
We've
got
one
set
of
cuts
that
were
considering
this
in
this
next
month
and
then,
obviously,
if
the
economic
indicators
look
worse,
we'll
be
coming
back
in
September
and
discussing
that
second
round.
What
John
suggested
was
that
the
city
managers
proposed
cuts
in
September.
If
we
have
to
get
to
those
would
include
those
programs
and
that's
where,
obviously
we
got
much
harder
conversations
thanks,
Josh.
A
A
Honor
Moraga
we're
not
able
to
hear
you
at
this
time.
If,
if
you
have
any
challenge,
I'm
muting
your
device,
we
can
come
back
to
you.
I'm,
just
gonna
call
on
our
next
speaker
right
now
and
maybe
ask
to
come
right
back
to.
If
you
can
keep
your
hand
up
and
see.
If
you
can
work
on
that
device,
so
you
can
hopefully
it'll
be
unmuted
properly.
A
Molly
welcome.
C
C
C
Could
they
don't
fully
include
the
folks
that
have
the
best
information
and
are
the
most
impacted
like
Chris
Chris
jelled
mentioned
as
a
powerchair
user
about
the
transportation.
She
also
serves
on
the
demon,
Rights
Commission
and
was
serving
in
the
EEOC
as
I
was
in
the
access
and
functional
needs.
So
please
spend
more
in
that
area.
Thanks
and.
A
C
A
C
A
C
A
Okay,
great
thank
you,
I
appreciate
that
information
and
let
me
see
if
I
can
get
on
top
of
it
and
learn
a
bit
what's
available.
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
our
attention.
Jim
Shannon
had
an
update
on
cultural
grants.
I
think
I
just
pulled
up
the
page,
Jimmy
I
think
I,
see
in
the
budget
on
page
7
69
looks
like
cultural
grants
will
go
from
11.6
million
to
6.2
million
or
6.3
million
in
proposed
budgets
that
sound
right.
B
But
yeah,
that's
that's
true.
Look
at
how
mayor's
I
found
this
source
and
use
statement
for
the
transient
occupancy
tax
yeah,
where
you
can
see
that
specific
dollar
amount
for,
and
so
it's
a
little
bit
trickier
there.
So
the
one
for
a
cultural
grants.
It
would
be
three
point:
seven
million
dollars
which
would
be
the
allocation
this
year
for
cultural
grants.
Now,
just
it
just
to
compare
that
for
what
it
was.
Last
year
we
had
our
our
al
allocation
of
six
point:
three
million,
so
a
pretty
significant
drop
this
year.
A
B
So
that's
you
know
when
you
kind
of
look
at
some
of
the
budget,
you
know
we
kind
of
roll
over
some
unused
funding
from
year
year
to
year.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
what
the
the
base
allocation
is
for
a
formula
in
the
city's
missable
code
about
how
we
allocate
that
those
T
eighty
dollars
and
so
for
cultural,
bring.
B
A
A
B
A
To
see
the
reserves
in
the
next
year,
yeah,
okay,
so
this
is
in
response
to
two
of
our
community
members
who
spoke
about
arts
early
on.
So
what
we
heard
clearly
was
the
grant
program
for
the
competitive
grant
program
will
be
going
from
six
point:
three
million
this
year
to
three
point:
seven
million
next
and
and
Jim.
Maybe
you
can
take
this
offline
and
we
can
talk
later.
But
if
you
look
at
Roman
numeral,
seven
69,
it
describes
the
line
item
for
cultural
grants
generally
and
they're
much
larger
numbers.
A
A
C
From
the
LED
hi
Jill,
how
are
you
first
off?
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
for
making
permanent
the
removal
of
youth
lines
through
the
library.
I
think
that's
one
of
the
most
important
things
we've
pushed
through
in
last
couple
years
on
the
Commission,
but
my
question
is
more
to
do
with
how
proactive
the
city
will
be
in
ensuring
that
employees
of
private
employers
are
being
kept
safe
during
the
reopening.
C
C
C
A
I'm
happy
to
ask
her
and
all
or
anyone
else
who
wants
to
respond.
Let
me
just
offer
this.
You
know
bluntly:
we
don't
have
the
staffing
to
be
policing
every
employment
site,
of
course,
and
so
we're
probably
going
to
be
responsible,
responding
on
a
complaint
based
system
and
relying
on
complaint
basis
and
trying
to
get
information
out
to
workers
so
that
they
can
call
if
they
feel
that
they're
working
in
an
unsafe
workplace
and
we
can
respond.
But
if
earth
Chief
Randall
has
any
insights
observation
she
wants
to
offer
all.
C
A
Yeah
dad,
let
me
let
me
try
to
clarify
here,
first
who's
able
to
return
to
work
and
how
many
that's
really
gonna
be
up
to
the
county
and
the
county
public
authorities
and
in
our
jobs
this
as
best
as
we
can
with
inland
limitations.
We've
got,
and
you
probably
heard
our
police
chief
was
pretty
emphatic
and
he
was
a
couple
days
ago
when
he
was
asked
about
enforcing
that
you
know
parades
or
whatever
and
you're
saying
look.
You
know.
A
The
primary
role
of
the
police
department
is
protect
public
safety,
particularly
against
predatory
crime
and
right
now,
we've
got
a
system
winter
right
now
there
you
know
folks,
are
being
arrested
and
then
being
able
to
be
released
without
any
bail
over
the
county
jail
and
we
don't
have
any
control
over
that.
We
wish
they
weren't
being
released,
but
that's
what's
going
on
and
so
police
department
is
more
stressed
than
ever
trying
to
respond.
C
Actually
concerned
with
the
police
I
served
in
a
great
job.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
work,
I'm,
more
worried
about
the
health
inspectors
and
and
that's
out
of
things,
because
the
declarant
does
declare
and
present
danger
to
the
public.
Right
now
is
private
employers
not
taking
the
safety
precautions
necessary
to
keep
the
pandemic
at
bay.
A
Yeah
and
and
I
just
can
only
say
this
much-
that
this
is
not
going
to
be
satisfying
as
an
answer,
but
we
are
only
going
to
be
as
safe
as
we
are
all
willing
to
be,
and
by
that
I
mean
it's
on
each
one
of
us.
This
is
a
community
responsibility
and
it's
gonna
be
on
each
one
of
us,
and
the
hope
is
that
as
people
observe
other
folks
who
are
not
being
safe
with
employers
are
not
providing
a
safe
workplace,
then
there'll
be
some
ability.
A
A
Still
still
problem
software,
okay,
a
concerned
citizen
Henry
is
seeing
through
here
that
you
still
seem
to
have
the
software.
That's
not
going
to
allow
you
to
yeah.
He
doesn't
allow
him
to
unmute
you.
So
essentially
you
need
to
download
the
latest
yeah
read
download
the
latest
zoom
app
so
that
you
can
have
updated
software
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
us.
I'm
sorry
about
that.
Tran
welcome.
C
C
Can
you
elaborate
on
what
have
your
team
done
to
make
sure
that
the
tiny
home
projects
are
most
cost
effective,
I'm,
pretty
sure
you
have
written
an
article
indicating
that
tiny
home
project
Luxan
luxury
homes
on
a
per
dollar
square
foot
and
will
encourage
more
homeless
coming
to
the
cities
of
San
Jose
really
appreciate
if
you
can
give
us
some
more
color
on
this.
Thank
you.
Tran.
A
C
Yeah
I
was
just
saying
that
there
was
an
article:
that's
explaining
the
tiny
home
projects
really
luxury
home
based
on
a
dollar
per
square
foot
calculation.
Okay,
no
I
just
want
to
know
what
have
your
team
done
to
make
sure
that
these
tiny
home
projects
are
most
cost-effective.
As
far
as
I
know,
I
mean
the
right
way
to
build.
These
things
are
built
up.
A
Obviously,
these
are
small
units,
they're,
very
simple:
it's
basically
a
bed
heater
electrical
outlets,
a
small
desk,
a
light,
it's
very,
very
simple
living
than
they
have
communal
facilities
for
for
showers
and
for
for
for
kitchens
and
so
forth.
That
model
I
mentioned
that
was
maybe
$8,000
per
unit
is
much
more
expensive.
A
When
you
include,
obviously
the
cost
of
building
out
the
infrastructure,
because
you
have
to
have
sewer
and
electrical
and
water
and
all
those
things
go
to
the
site,
so
it
all
depends
on
what
site
you
pick
and
how
far
it
is
from
the
local
or
the
the
nearest
sewer
line
or
water
line.
Obviously
you
that
stuff
is
expensive
still,
even
at
that
cost.
A
It
is
by
no
stretch
luxury
level
cost,
in
other
words,
is
still
a
bargain
by
a
huge
margin
and
I
think
the
amount
we
spent
was
quite
a
bit
less
than
two
million
for
the
40
units.
We
built
a
mayor,
Maybury,
Road
and
I.
Think
part
of
that
also
went
to
buy
some
of
the
land
over
at
at
the
site
on
280,
not
for
the
land,
but
rather
some
of
the
utilities
at
280
101.
A
So
if
you
do,
the
math,
if
you
come
up
with,
is
something
like
a
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
unit
calculation
which
again
would
be
a
huge
bargain
by
any
stretch
by
any
calculation.
Well
we're
building
now
on.
The
three
sites
that
have
been
in
the
news
lately
is
actually
not
tiny
homes.
Its
prefab
modular
housing,
prefabricated
housing,
where
we're
buying
we're
paying
typically
about
twenty
five
thousand
thirty
thousand
dollars
a
unit
for
those
modular
construction.
A
A
That
me
drive
your
costs
up
again
to
forty
fifty
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
unit
that
is
again
a
huge
bargain
because
I
think,
as
you
know,
if
you
try
to
build
an
apartment
building
today,
what
you
are
going
to
pay
to
build
that
apartment,
building
with
labor
land
and
everything
else
is
going
to
be
in
excess
of
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
unit.
So
if
anybody's
telling
you
this
is
luxury
cost
housing,
I,
don't
think
they're,
looking
very
objectively
at
the
data
so
happy
to
talk
to
whoever
that
might
be.

have
explained
some
issues
regarding
funding
for
the
Arts
I'm
simply
concerned
that
the
grant
money
towards
the
arts
are
going
to
be
decrypted
by
be
cut
anywhere
from
forty
five
to
fifty
seven
percent
and
I
hope
that
you
will
consider
the
artists
as
second
responders
to
rebuilding
our
great
city
and
I
would
like
to
see
some
innovative
solutions
to
improving
the
the
grant
monies
devoted
to
art
organizations.
Thank
you,
Mary
Mayer,
and
please
don't
forget
the
artists.
Okay,
thank.
A
You
and
thank
you
for
your
work.
First
I
love
the
expression
second
responders.
It's
great
I'm,
going
to
borrow
that
so
I
appreciate
the
call
for
creative
solutions
and
I'm
very
open
to
your
creative
solutions
and
and
those
of
others
in
the
arts
community.
We
have
only
an
uncreated
solution
at
this
point,
which
is
well.
We
don't
have
enough
revenue,
we
cut,
and
in
this
case
the
source
of
revenue
for
these
grants,
as
you
know,
is
the
hotel
tax
dollars
and
those
are
dramatically
dropped.
A
And
if
we
were
to
try
to
find
ways
to
supplement
those
Hotel
tax
dollars,
the
general
fund,
it
would
mean
we'd,
be
cutting
some
other
basic
service.
Libraries,
police
fire,
any
of
the
other
things
that
we
all
treasure
and
value.
So
so
all
these
are
very
important,
and
so
the
short
answer
is
no
I.
Don't
have
a
creative
solution
but
I'm
very
open
to
any
of
yours.
So
by
all
means,
let's
continue
the
conversation
Patricia
Mendoza.
C
C
Will
be
affected
with
this
budget
I'm
glad
to
hear
libraries
will
be
impacted
minimally,
but
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
clear
how
essential
the
beautify
is.
J
grant
our
to
our
neighborhood
associations
than
parks
I'm
concerned,
because
you
mentioned
that
the
program
will
be
scaled
back
and
so,
unfortunately,
like
I
mentioned
the
neighborhoods
that
need
the
most
support
will
be
left
without
it.
Thank
you
so
much
Thank.
A
A
C
A
C
A
A
So
Tina
important
question
I,
know
and
I'm
not
going
to
give
you
a
very
satisfactory
answer,
but
here's
what
I
think
I
know
that
is
that
the
county
has
certainly
made
agreements
commitments
to
fund
supportive
services,
but,
like
the
city,
the
county
can't
bind
future
boards
of
Supervisors
just
like.
We
can't
bind
future
council
members
saying:
thou
shalt
spend
money
here
or
thou
shalt
spend
money
there.
So
in
future
years,
in
other
words,
all
we
can
do
is
bind
ourselves
to
spend
what
we
have
in
this
year.
A
So
so
we
believe,
based
on
our
historical
relationship
with
the
county,
that
they'll
make
good
on
their
commitment.
Obviously
the
world
can
change
and
we
know
this
is
going
to
be
a
very
severe
time,
so
we
don't
know
anything
for
certain,
but
what
we
know
is
that
the
county
has
traditionally
kept
its
word
when
they
said
they
provide
the
service
and
the
good
news
is
money.
A
Some
of
the
funding
streams,
like
the
section
8
voucher
program,
provide
ongoing
revenue
sources
that
then
the
affordable,
housing,
management
and
and
and
developers
can
not
the
developers,
but
rather
the
the
folks
who
are
managing
the
affordable
housing
development
can
use
those
revenues
to
provide
services.
So
again,
that's
not
at
the
ironclad
commitment
that
I
think
you're
looking
for,
but
it's
what
we
have
right
now
and
this
time
of
great
uncertainty.
C
It
was
like
94%
of
the
the
jobs
that
were
lost
in
the
first
month
of
the
impact
of
the
cogut
crisis
was
in
the
Legion
hospitality
sector,
and
that
that's
you
know
according
to
the
EDD,
and
would
all
expect
that
to
be
the
last
sector
that
really
comes
back
online
yeah
and
you
know,
and
that's
a
big
part.
That
sector
provides
a
lot
also
related
to
sales
tax
for
the
city.
And
so
it's
a
you
know
in
terms
of
its
the
it
all
relates
back
to
the
resources
that
we
have
to
work
with.
C
A
A
fair
point:
I
brennon,
raise
an
important
point,
so
I'm
looking
at
Jim
I'm
looking
right
now
at
the
budget,
page
Roman,
numeral,
7
69,
this
the
department
budget
summary,
and
it
does
appear
as
though
could
cultural
facilities,
operations
and
maintenance
is
sustaining.
In
fact,
increases
somewhat.
Is
that
because
of
the
use
of
some
of
those
facilities
to
house
homeless
individuals,
or
is
there
some
other
explanation
of
why?
Because
we
would
expect
actually
I'm
sorry,
that's
the
facilities
operations,
that's
not
the
same
as
the
Convention
Center.
Is
it
so.
B
It's
not,
and
maybe
I
could
try
a
stab
at
this
cuz
I
think
what
they
call
it
may
be
pointing
to
so
mayor.
Actually,
the
page
that
you're
looking
at
there
I
think
the
arts
and
cultural
development
administration
at
six
point:
eight
seven
million
dollar
number
that
includes
both
the
amount
for
cultural
grants
and
the
amount
for
the
administration
of
the
city's
overall
cultural
grant
program.
Okay,.
A
C
B
Arts
is
because
weary
budget
funding
or
we
carry
over
any
unused
funding
and
cultural
grants.
We
carry
that
over
to
the
following
year.
So
that's
part
of
the
build
up
there
is
that
they're
nineteen
twenty
adopted
budget
number
includes
some
previous
year's
al
allocations,
along
with
the
reserve
with
that
was
set
aside,
which
is
about
three
million
dollars
to
buffer
the
nineteen
twenty
loss.
So
right,
like
the
impact,
is
disproportionate
amongst
the
partners
there,
but
it's
just
kind
of
the
technical
portion
of
the
budget,
but
everybody
got
the
same
reduction
of
their
allocation.
Okay,.
A
And
in
just
that,
Convention
and
Visitor's
Bureau
funding
allocation,
the
five
point:
six,
nine
million
you
know
Jim,
it
may
be
worthy
of
some
public
discussion.
I
know
obviously
keep
smiiing
as
a
is
taking
some
very
hard
hits
and
they've
had
layoffs
as
a
result
into
the
last
few
weeks,
but
obviously
they're
not
going
to
have
a
lot
of
business
in
the
next
few
months
and
I'm
wondering
if
it
makes
sense.
Many
of
those
dollars
could
be
reallocated
and
we
can
have
no
more
public
conversations
about
that.
A
B
A
Obviously,
the
whole
economy
is
on
hold
in
a
big
way
and
I
guess
on
hold
is
a
nice
way
of
putting
it.
It's
really
falling
off
a
cliff,
so
my
mandate
is
try
to
figure
out
every
way
we
possibly
can
where
there
is
interest
of
employers
in
moving
in.
In
fact,
I
was
just
talking
to
a
CEO
two
days
ago,
who
is
such
an
expanding
in
San
Jose
I
despite
the
downturn,
God
love
them
for
doing
it
and
trying
to
do
everything
we
can
to
either
get
out
of
the
way
and
encourage
them
to
come.
A
We
don't
offer
subsidies,
we
don't
give
them
money
or
anything.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
able
to
move
at
the
speed.
They
need
us
to
move,
get
the
permits
on
time
and
being
able
to
get
their
tenant
improvements
done
on
their
buildings
and
ensure
that
they
have
a
clear
picture
of
what
the
fees
are
going
to
be.
All
those
things
are
important,
so
we
can
move
quickly
with
businesses
as
they
as
they
move
and
then
obviously
there
are
some
big
development
projects
proposed.
A
Well,
that
would
also
create
a
lot
of
revenue
because
the
projects
themselves,
when
they
get
built,
they
pay
a
lot
more
property
tax
than
an
empty
parking
lot
will
because
now
you've
got
an
assessed
value
for
a
high-rise.
It
may
be
worth
two
hundred
million
dollars
instead
of
a
two
million
dollar
parking
lot.
So
the
tax
revenue
we're
able
to
generate
goes
up
by
one
hundred
fold
right
and
that's
really
really
important.
So
we're
talking
a
lot
to
those
folks
who
are
developing
to
say
hey.
A
What
can
we
do
to
make
sure
you
keep
building,
and
certainly
the
Google
project
is
a
really
important
one
for
our
city.
I.
Think,
as
many
recognized
so
is
another
project
over
on
Park
Avenue,
which
the
developer
there
is
Jay.
Paul
wants
to
build
a
five
million
square
feet
of
office
right
in
the
core
of
our
downtown,
where
we
should
be
building
that
and
I
want
to
do
everything
we
can
to
get
those
projects
built
both
because
they
provide
immediate
revenue
through
construction
taxes.
A
They
provide
long-term
revenue
through
the
property
taxes
and
they
bring
jobs
to
the
community
and
those
jobs
in
fact
generate
more.
So,
for
all
those
reasons,
that's
the
best
way
we
can
generate
revenue.
We
have
engaged
in
some
creative
agreements,
such
as
the
one
I
mentioned
with
eBay,
where
they
have
agreed
that
they'll
identify
San
Jose
is
the
locus
point
for
the
what
they
call
the
use
tax.
The
transactions
in
which
people
are
buying
products
on
ebay,
online
and
San
Jose
can
benefit
from
those
transactions
and
that's
a
very
unique
arrangement.
A
The
Nancy
Klein
and
some
smart
people
in
our
office
economic
development
worked
out.
That's
going
to
enable
us
to
be
able
to
save
about
twenty
million
dollars
in
cuts
this
next
year
because
of
the
revenues
that
that
will
generate.
So
that's
another
way
we're
able
to
create
revenue,
but,
as
you
can
imagine,
for
a
city,
there's
not
a
lot
of
super
creative
ways
other
than
raising
taxes
and
fees,
which
are
exactly
the
things
that
people
don't
want
to
hear
about.
A
Last
I
checked
so
we've
raised
taxes
plenty
during
the
time
I've
been
mayor
and
I'm
not
eager
to
raise
them
during
a
time
when
people
are
hurting
as
much
as
they
are
now.
This
isn't
the
time
for
us
to
do
that,
so
we'll
be
focusing
on
the
more
palatable
ways
to
generate
more
revenues.
Thank
you
for
the
question,
Jason
sue
and
thank
you
for
your
work
at
the
Guadalupe
River
Park.
C
A
A
Got
it
I'll
let
Jim
Shannon
weigh
in
with
all
the
technical
information
that
he
knows
far
better
than
I
do
Jason,
but
I
would
just
say,
I
think
the
most
important
determinant
of
all
is.
How
quickly
can
we
reopen
this
economy?
And,
as
you
know,
it's
not
a
it's.
Not
a
toggle
switch,
it's
a
dimmer
and
it's
going
to
take
its
gonna
be
staged
and
it's
going
to
take
time
and
that's
going
to
determine
everything
in
terms
our
ability
to
generate
revenues,
because
we
depend
on
an
economy
to
do
that.
A
B
A
B
Trying
to
jump
in
answer
that
please
yeah,
there's
a
question
of
the
person
director.
Remind
me:
I,
didn't
answer
the
beautify
SJ
grants
question.
Oh
we
have
for
that.
We
have
in
arm
going
allocations
for
beautiful
yesterday
grants
of
one
100,000,
that's
still
in
our
budget,
so
we
still
have
that.
Okay
last
year
we
added
an
extra
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
One
one-time
we're
total
three
hundred
thousand
this
year
were
only
able
to
kick
in
another
hundred
thousand.
So
it
would
be
a
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
total
this
year.
Okay,.
A
A
C
I'm,
just
really
tuning
in
here.
Thank
you
guys
for
the
city
of
San
Jose
for
the
initiatives,
especially
with
the
mini
home
project
in
South,
Side
San
Jose,
really,
our
hats
off
to
surgery
a
few
minutes
on
those
efforts
as
well,
along
with
the
whole
City
Council,
who
supported
the
project.
You
know
just
wanted
to
sort
of
speak
on
our
behalf
as
a
small
arts
entities.
If,
yes,
arts.
This
is
very
important.
C
C
What
is
the
policy
or
policies
changing
or
sort
of
the
leeway
that
we
get
as
performers,
possibly
maybe
taking
on
to
the
streets
I've
seen
in
others
in
other
countries
too,
where
they're?
Really
you
know,
New
York
City
just
put
out
a
campaign
out
there,
where
their
subways
we're
doing
the
full-on
cleaning
of
their
subway
stations
stations
and
all
that
and
I
just
think
that
scene.
C
Throughout
our
city
will
sort
of
encourage
us
as
citizens
to
to
not
forget
that
we
have
to
practice
these
new
safety
normals
and
be
proactive
about
making
sure
that
we're
inspiring
the
next
generations
to
to
be
aware
and
and
contribute
as
much
as
we
can.
You
know
by
cleaning
our
bike
or
bike
stations
and,
and
things
like
that,
so
yeah,
that's
all
I.
Just
thank
you
all
for
your
time
appreciate
it.
A
Well,
Carlos
thank
you
and
thanks
for
what
you're
doing
and
have
been
doing
for
many
years
empire,
7
and
threader
our
arts
community.
Let
me
first
answer
the
question
about
the
1%
for
arts
and
development.
I
know:
councilman
Carrasco
has
been
a
strong
advocate
of
that
on
that
did
not
get
selected
by
the
council
as
one
of
its
priorities
in
the
last
priority-setting
session.
A
A
The
downturn,
but
obviously
it's
something
we
should
be
looking
at
for
our
revival
and
certainly
open
to
doing
the
show
with
regard
to
activation
of
streets
and
use
of
a
public
space
for
artists,
I,
think
this
really
fits
into
the
proposal
that
councilman,
Davis
and
I
introduced
last
year.
I'm.
Sorry,
last
week,
gosh
all
the
time's
running
together
last
week
called
tears.
Al
fresco.
A
And
so
we
need
to
think
more
creatively
about
how
we
use
outdoor
space
and
obviously
there
are
limitations.
Of
that
I
mean
the
good
news.
Is
we
have
300
days
of
sunny
year,
but
the
bad
news
is
sometimes
it
rains,
and
so
probably
we're
going
to
have
the
lot
having
a
lot
of
folks
investing
in
tents
and
other
things,
but
there's
no
question
that,
even
if
it's
not
public
space,
maybe
it's
private,
for
example,
parking
lots
where
we
could
make
room
to
bring
commerce
and
art
outdoors.
A
This
is
really
our
opportunity
to
do
that.
This
is
the
moment
of
crisis.
Where
we
can
say,
is
there
a
way
for
us
to
think
differently
about
how
we
come
out
of
this
crisis,
a
better
City
than
than
we
went
in,
and
certainly
we
have
not
taken
advantage
of
our
public
outdoor
space
enough
in
this
city.
Given
you
know,
we
don't
bat
our
weight,
given
the
extraordinary
weather
that
we
enjoy
here
and
the
fact
that
we
do
have
a
wonderful
art
scene
and
a
vibrant
culture
that
should
be
expressed
more
outside.
A
So
this
may
be
our
opportunity,
so
I
guess
I
would
say
well
causes.
Please
engage
with
us
in
this
San
Jose
al
fresco,
effort,
Kim,
Wallace
and
blog
ease
of
ala,
CH
I
think
you
know
a
lot
of
the
folks
on
the
team
who
at
economic
development
who
will
be
leading
this
effort
and
we
want
to
engage
with
small
businesses
and
yes
with
cultural
organizations
as
well,
to
see
if
there
ways
that
we
can
bring
all
this
activity
outdoor
in
a
way
that
is
both
safe
and
and
obviously
enhancing
to
the
community.
A
C
A
C
C
Looking
ahead,
though,
I
noticed,
or
that
at
least
I
remember
from
the
March
budget
recommended
paying
off
the
Los
Lagos
Gulf
debt,
and
it
seems
that
that's
still
in
the
budget
right
now
and
I'm
wondering
if
that
strategy
is
so
appropriate
because
those
are
general
fund
dollars.
That
might
be
more
useful
and
there's
not
so
much
of
a
pressure
to
get
somebody
bid
on
operating
that
business
at
a
profit,
as
I
think,
was
the
reason
for
the
original
strategy.
C
So
I'm
wondering
about
that
and
I'm
also
wondering
if
there
are
plans
in
place
to
do
like
was
done
and
a
2008
recession
where
funds
were
borrowed
from
the
park.
Trust
fund
in
order
to
close
the
budget
gap,
and
there
was
also
refinancing
of
a
lot
of
facilities,
community
centers
and
the
like
in
order
to
draw
some
cash
out
to
operate
and
I'm
wondering
if
those
are
some
of
the
strategies
that
will
be
seeing
out
there
in
tier
2
tier
3,
hey.
A
C
A
A
You
know
I'm
not
going
to
venture
into
that
one
cuz
I'm,
honest
with
you,
I'm
I
was
pretty
sure
that
those
were
legally
restricted
under
the
Quimby
Act.
But
what
I
will?
Let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
Louis,
Lagos
and
Jim
Shannon?
If
you
could
help
a
little
here,
my
understanding
was
the
the
financing
cost
for
the
Las
Vegas
debt
was
paid
out
of
the
general
fund.
Is
that
right
right.
B
So
the
golf
courses
are
are
subsidized
by
the
general
fund,
and
so
a
lot
of
that
is
related
to
the
debt
that
the
couple
of
those
golf
course
has
had.
So
last
year
we
paid
off
the
debt
further
Brancheau
and
what's
in
dishes,
budget
pays
off
the
outstanding
debt
related
to
loast
Lagos,
and
so
that
gives
us
an
annual
general
fund
savings
of
about
1.3
million
dollars.
A
Did
I'm
sorry
I
was
just
trying
to
transition
to
their
phone
call
trend
listeners
that
that's
a
thank
you
Jim
I
appreciate
that
I
realized
four
people
have
been
waiting
on
the
phone
for
us
and
I
want
to
apologize
to
Dan,
because
we've
had
some
difficulty
in
pulling
them
up
so
Jeanne
I,
guess
the
as
you
heard
from
the
response.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
pay
down
debt
to
be
able
to
save
the
ongoing
burden
and
then
obviously
give
us
flexibility
for
whatever
we
might
be
able
to
do.
A
That
obviously
has
a
recreational
use,
presumably
golf
at
that
site,
though
certainly
if
you've
probably
heard
me
express
more
than
one
occasion
that
I
think
we
should
be
thinking
creatively
about
whether
or
not
all
golf
courses
might
be
more
utilized.
If
in
some
cases
they
were
soccer
fields,
for
example,
or
other
recreational
uses,
that
more
of
our
residents
could
take
advantage
of
particular
youth,
so
I'm
open
to
all
those
things,
but
but
fundamentally
being
able
to
take
the
debt
off.
A
A
C
A
A
Retail
that
may
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
outdoor
commerce
in
lots
of
parts
of
our
city
and
evergreen
going
to
square
and
at
King
and
story
where
you
have
a
shopping
center
there
we
can
think
of
lots
of
places
where
outdoor
setting
could
be
well
utilized,
and
it's
not
really
about
tax
revenue
generation.
More
than
anything,
it's
about
survival
for
this
small
businesses,
because
we
know
that
many
of
them
won't
be
viable.
If
they're
required
to
open
under
mandate.
That
says
you
can
only
have
one
person
at
a
time
in
your
store.
C
C
I
remember
the
second
part
of
my
question
is:
are
you
still
going
to
be
involved
with
all
this
high-density
housing
and
mass
transit
because
it
seems
as
if
the
places
in
the
United,
States
and
Europe
that
were
hit
the
hardest
with
kovat
happen
to
be
in
areas
that
were
the
most
you
know
as
the
most
people
stacked
on
top
of
each
other?
Now
I'm.
A
Yeah
thanks
thanks
for
the
question
so
first
with
regard
to
small
businesses
and
the
point
of
the
Senate
al
fresco.
The
reason
why
I
say
it's
not
about
tax
revenues.
The
city
actually
doesn't
generate
a
lot
of
tax
revenue
off
of
small
businesses.
We
generate
tax
revenue
off,
you
know
if
you
were
to
look
at
the
breakdown
tends
to
come
from
auto
sales.
A
large
big,
spa,
big-box
retailers
we
generate
a
lot
of
revenues
are
various
kinds
from
large
employers,
hotel
tax,
obviously,
from
big
hotels.
We
know,
small
businesses
are
critical
to
our
community.
A
They
provide
livelihoods
for
thousands
of
our
residents.
They
provide
color
to
our
streets.
We
all
want
a
vibrant,
neighborhood
business
district
where
we
could
walk
to
services
and
we
wanted
to
have
those
kinds
of
services
and
retail
within
walking
distance
if
possible.
You
know
so
there's
a
lot
of
value
in
small
businesses,
but
it's
not
really
about
the
city's
bottom
line.
It's
fundamentally
about
helping
those
businesses
survive,
and
that's
really
why
this
orientation
is
focused
everywhere
in
the
city.
It's
not
going
to
be
just
downtown.
A
We
think
there's
a
lot
of
creative
opportunities
to
help
to
small
businesses
now
in
terms
of
the
orientation
of
the
city
toward
densification,
transit,
high-density
housing
and
so
forth.
I
think
that's
going
to
change
no
I,
doubt
and
I
know
obviously
they'll
be
detractors.
He'll
say
well.
What
about
Kovac
well
look:
San
Francisco
is
much
denser
City
than
San
Fran,
then
San
Jose
is,
and
they
depend
enormously
on
transit.
A
And
if
you
look
at
the
mortality
loss
there
as
well
as
transmission,
it
is
very,
very
low
compared
to
lots
of
parts
of
our
country
where
we're
seeing
skyrocketing
rates
right
now
are
places
like
Mississippi.
That
may
not
have
very
high
density,
but
have
very
poor
public
health
infrastructure
and
high
rates
of
poverty.
So
there's
there
are
a
lot
of
contributing
factors
here.
Density
undoubtedly
is
one,
but
density
also
allows
us
to
ensure
people
are
well-informed.
A
It
ensures
that
if
we
are
able
to
get
people
housed
there,
certainly
much
safer
being
housed
than
out
on
the
street
and,
frankly,
we're
going
to
need
a
lot
of
density
to
get
a
lot
of
people
housed
cost-effectively.
So
I
guess
the
short
answer.
My
view
is
that,
yes,
we're
going
to
continue
the
march
toward
greater
densification
as
a
city
and
to
a
greater
use
of
transit,
I'm,
not
naive
about
the
fact
that
it's
going
to
take
some
time
before
people
are
going
to
feel
comfortable.
A
Getting
back
on
a
transit
state
on
a
bus
or
on
a
BART
and
Bart
is
going
to
be
open
here
in
San
Jose.
We
expect
some
time
in
June
and
people
won't
be
rushing
to
use.
It.
I
know
that,
but
the
reality
is
we're
going
to
have
to
because
we
don't
have
any
alternatives
and
I
suspect
a
life
in
which
we
are
all
locked
up
in
our
homes.
Forevermore
is
not
a
life
that
we
will
believe
is
worth
choosing
we're
going
to
take
risks
as
human
beings.
A
Those
risks
are
necessarily
going
to
be
calculated
risks
they're,
going
to
be
measured,
they're
going
to
be
accompanied
by
good
information
and
good
practices,
and
as
long
as
we
have
a
large
amount
of
infection
out
there
we're
going
to
be
out
there
wearing
masks
and
washing
our
hands
and
doing
all
the
things
they're
supposed
to
be
doing.
But
yes,
we
will
I,
think
once
again
need
transit
and
high-density
housing
and
all
those
other
things
now.
A
We
cannot
sustain
a
world
in
which
we're
all
trapped
in
our
houses
and
only
driving
in
our
single
person,
cars
to
wherever
it
is,
we
intend
to
go
I
think
we
all
know
what
the
impacts
are
in
terms
of
traffic,
our
impacts
on
the
planet
and
basic
lack
of
affordability
of
that
approach.
So,
yes,
I,
believe
we're
going
to
continue
to
densify.
A
Sorry
for
the
long
wait,
ooh
dancer,
but
this
one's
a
complex
one
and
I
know
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
are
going
to
be
weighing
in
over
the
coming
years
about
how
this
is
going
to
affect
cities.
I
am
optimistic,
particularly
for
those
who,
like
urban
dwelling,
I,
think
cities
are
going
to
do
just
fine.
It's
going
to
take
us
some
time.
That's
all
all
right.
We
have
now
exhausted
all
of
the
hands,
I
believe
and
I
just
want
to
say.
A
Thank
you
each
one
of
you
for
your
patience
and
during
these
two
hours,
we've
also
exhausted
the
two
hours
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
senior
city
officials,
who
have
been
on
course,
starting
with
Jim
Shannon,
worked
so
hard
with
his
team.
To
put
this
budget
together,
chief
had
the
Randall
Johnson
Cirelli,
a
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation
Nancy
client
at
OED
Andrea,
my
street
and
Jill
borne.
Our
libraries
will
be
having
more
of
these
conversations.
A
As
I
mentioned,
one
Saturday
I'm
told
another
one
on
the
18th
okay,
the
one
Saturday
is
at
10:00
a.m.
so
feel
free
to
tell
your
friends
one
on
the
18th
and
at
6:00
p.m.
and
that
will
be
in
Spanish
and
then
in
Vietnamese
on
the
28th
at
6:00
p.m.
so
we'll
continue
to
get
the
word
out.
We
appreciate
if
you'd
help
us
as
well,
and
thank
you
everyone
please
stay
healthy.
