From YouTube: City of San José Community Budget Meeting, May16, 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
Here's
the
here's
the
agenda
for
today,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
budget
process
and
timeline
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
impacts.
Obviously
this
pandemic
on
what
we're
doing
and
then
we'll
go
right
into
the
proposed
budget
and
the
focus
I
know
for
many
folks
is:
what
exactly
are
we
going
to
cut
the
anticipated
service
reductions
and
then
we'll
go
right
to
your
questions?
A
So
first,
here's
where
we
are
in
the
process
in
the
middle
of
may,
we've
got
several
public
meetings
and
then
we
have
just
completed
some
budget
study
sessions
with
the
council.
Those
are
also
public
and
then
we'll
have
additional
public
hearings
that
will
be
more
formal
with
the
council
present
on
may
21st
I'll
release
the
june
budget
message
in
a
few
weeks
we'll
have
a
hearing
on
that.
A
That
will
also
be
public
with
the
whole
council
on
15th,
and
then
council
will
consider
that
june
message
on
the
16th
and
will
finally
adopt
it
in
june.
So
the
way
the
the
year
works,
the
calendar
year
for
the
city
is
as
it
is
with
most
government
agencies.
A
The
fiscal
year
ends
on
june
30th
and
then
a
new
year
begins
on
july
1st.
So
all
this
is
in
preparation
for
the
july
first
budget
year.
Okay,
so
obviously
pandemic
is
having
a
devastating
impact
on
our
community
in
many
ways,
and
our
budget
is
no
different.
A
It
certainly
has
demanded
a
whole
new
set
of
responses
from
the
city.
That
means
a
lot
of
resources
have
been
rededicated
and
the
most
important
resource
we
have
is
the
time
of
our
city,
employees,
their
time
and
energy.
A
But
it
takes
a
lot
of
coordination
and
creative
thinking
to
scale
that
appropriately
to
the
need.
I'm
grateful
for
how
city
staff
have
really
stepped
up.
We've
recognized,
obviously
with
so
many
families
without
paychecks.
A
very
basic
necessities
like
baby
diapers
and
wipes
and
formula
are
also
necessary
to
be
distributed.
So
more
than
7
500
families
are
recipients
of
some
of
that
aid.
We
fundraised
really
grateful
to
jen,
loving
for
her
leadership
and
the
generosity
of
of
of
folks
like
chuck
robbins
who's,
the
ceo
of
cisco
donated
millions
of
dollars.
A
We've
now
raised
more
than
25
million
to
help
struggling
residents,
but
it's
not
anywhere
near
enough.
We
know
much
more
is
needed,
given
the
scale
of
need
just
created
by
the
fact
that
so
many
of
our
neighbors
are
employed.
A
A
Let
me
repeat
that
again,
silicon
valleystrong.org,
that
is
the
one-stop
shop
you
can
go
to
either
give
or
get
help
as
you
are
looking
to
either
give
back
in
the
community
or
if
you
need
assistance
with
anything
from
food
distribution
to
finding
out
ways
to
support
your
the
learning
of
your
children,
while
they're,
obviously
not
able
to
attend
school
or,
if
you're,
looking
for
small
business
assistance
or,
if
you're
looking
for
ways
to
get
tested,
for
example,
and
free
tests.
All
that
information
is
available
siliconvalleystrong.org.
A
We
provide
quick
links
to
get
you
to
the
right
sources
to
address.
Whatever
concern
you've
got,
but
volunteering
is
one
thing
we
always
would
love
to
have
more
of
with
more
than
3
000
volunteers
were
out
there
distributing
a
lot
of
food
to
folks
and
that's
the
primary
purpose
for
a
lot
of
our
volunteers
and,
of
course,
we
have,
in
partnership
with
folks,
like
verily,
been
out
there
supporting
free
testing
sites
throughout
san
jose.
A
In
fact,
two
sites
are
open:
nine
to
three
monday
through
friday,
run
by
verily
at
the
county
fairgrounds
and
at
powell
stadium.
That
is
free
of
charge.
You
do
not
need
health
insurance,
please
just
sign
up,
and
the
way
you
can
sign
up
is
well
if
you
can
go
through
our
website
siliconvalleystrong.org.
That
will
get
you
eventually
to
the
sign
up,
but
I'm
going
to
get
that
website
actually
for
the
verily
sites
in
just
a
moment.
It
just
has
escaped
my
memory
at
this
moment,
so
I'll
come
right
back
to
that.
A
So
obviously,
the
pandemic
has
affected
all
of
us
in
profound
ways,
but
no
more
than
obviously
the
families
who
have
lost
loved
ones
and
many
thousands
who
have
lost
their
jobs.
The
jobs
that
are
most
severely
impacted
are
really
primarily
in
leisure,
hospitality
and
retail,
where
we
know
so.
Many
small
businesses
are
struggling,
mightily
as
well
as
hotels
and
our
convention
center
and
other
industries
related
to
that
airport
have
had
to
the
airlines,
have
had
to
furlough
and
lay
off
a
lot
of
employees.
A
So
this
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
drop
in
what
we
call
gdp.
That's
economic
output
that
more
or
less
mirrors
much
of
the
employment
losses,
and
here
one
estimate
from
boston,
consulting
group
about
the
share
of
jobs
that
are
at
risk
and
that
risk
means
folks
are
either
working
fewer
hours,
they've
taken
pay
cuts
or
they've
been
laid
off
or
furloughed,
and
it
is
about
a
third
of
the
jobs
in
our
county,
so
obviously
devastating
to
many
many
families.
A
A
We
know
that
this
is
true
for
cities
throughout
the
state.
The
most
devastating
impacts
are
in
losses
of
revenue
in
various
ways:
hotel
tax
and
sales
tax,
most
prominent
among
them,
and
while
we
would
love
to
have
federal
funding
to
backfill
those
those
losses,
the
reality
is
that,
for
the
most
part,
restrictions
around
federal
funding
are
gonna
constrain
our
ability
to
simply
fill
gaps
in
our
budget.
A
The
dollars
we're
using
are
primarily
dedicated
to
actually
respond
to
the
covid
crisis,
that
is
paying
for
pp
e
and
food
and
supporting
testing
sites.
A
A
Www.Projectbaseline.Com
forward,
slash
covid19
that'll,
get
you
to
a
specific
testing
registration
that
you
can
do
at
two
sites
in
san
jose
again
free
of
charge.
You
don't
need
health
insurance,
okay,
so,
let's
jump
into
the
budget.
Here's
the
overview
of
the
budget.
Many
who
are
neighborhood
leaders
are
familiar
with
this
chart.
A
This
describes
the
three
basic
categories
of
budgetary
expenditures,
special
funds,
capital
funds
and
the
general
fund
I'll
just
describe
as
a
general
matter.
Most
of
the
wrangling
I'd
say
99
of
the
the
fights
in
any
budgetary
year
over
the
general
fund.
A
That's
the
those
are
the
dollars
that
tend
to
fund
many
of
the
services
that
are
most
visible
to
many
of
our
residents,
police,
fire,
libraries,
maintenance
parks,
a
whole
host
of
functions,
that
is
the
1.1
billion
dollars
and
clearly
the
fund
that
will
be
most
severely
impacted
as
well
through
covid
the
other
funds
I'll
describe
briefly.
A
A
For
example,
if
you're
at
the
airport,
you're
paying
a
passenger
fee
at
the
airport
to
or
airlines
are
paying
gate
fees
or,
for
example,
if
you're
renting
a
car
there,
you
also
pay
a
fee
at
the
car
rental
facility,
all
those
dollars
that
are
generated
stay
at
the
airport
under
faa
federal
regs.
They
have
to
be
used
for
airport
purposes
only
and
they
essentially
run
the
airport
for
us.
A
Similarly,
the
water
pollution
control
plant
is
a
special
fund.
San
jose
clean
energy
that
which
procures
energy
for
99
of
our
residents
and
businesses
is
also
a
special
fund.
So
those
are,
for
example,
utility
fees
are
paid
for
the
electric
power,
which
can
only
be
used,
of
course,
for
purchase
of
electric
power
and
related
services,
not
for
paying
for
cops,
for
example,
so
those
special
funds
are
restricted.
So
we're
not
going
to
spend
much
time
talking
about
those.
But
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
Capital
funds
are
also
restricted,
but
in
a
different
way,
capital
funds
tend
to
be
restricted
for
construction
only
or
for
acquisition
of
land.
That's
used
for
construction,
so,
for
example,
when
a
developer
is
paying
affordable
housing
as
we
require
throughout
the
city
in
all
of
our
our
housing
developments.
A
That
fee
is
called
an
inclusionary
housing
fee
that
is
capital
restricted,
can
only
be
used
to
buy
land
or
to
purchase
or
do
or
to
build,
affordable
housing
on
that
land.
That
is,
capital
restricted
for
that
purpose.
Similarly,
we
have
developers,
might
pay
fees
for
things
like
parks
and
park
construction.
A
Also,
capital
restricted
goes
into
our
capital
funds
budget,
so
those
are
how
the
dollars
are
divided
and,
as
a
general
matter,
we're
going
to
really
turn
your
focus
to
that
blue
section
of
the
pie
chart,
which
is
the
general
fund,
which
is
the
1.1
billion
dollars
in
all
this
entire
enterprise.
This
4.1
billion
enterprise
employs
about
6
500
employees
here
at
the
city
of
san
jose,
and
while
that
might
seem
like
a
lot
of
employees,
the
reality
is
that's
a
almost
a
thousand
fewer
employees
than
we
had
20
years
ago.
A
Let
me
repeat
that,
20
years
ago
we
had
about
7
400
employees
in
the
city,
and
we
were
serving
200
000
fewer
people.
20
years
ago
than
we
are
today,
so
the
lesson
from
all
that
is
very
simple:
we've
got
a
lot
of
employees
are
working
very
hard
to
do
more
with
less,
and
that
is
the
result
of
several
recessions
that
we've
had
to
deal
with.
A
Certainly
structural
challenges
we've
had
in
our
budget
relating,
for
example,
to
retiree
benefits
and
a
whole
host
of
issues
relating
to
revenues
that
we've
been
grappling
with,
and
over
the
last
five
or
six
years
we've
grappled
with
those
pretty
well
we've
been
able
to
start
to
really
rebuild
services
in
a
significant
way.
Obviously,
the
challenge
ahead
is
much
much
different.
So
here's
how
our
general
fund
revenues
come
to
us,
the
roughly
1.1
billion
dollars,
the
two
largest
sources
of
revenue,
sales,
tax
and
property
tax.
A
The
property
tax
numbers
will
drop
somewhat,
but
we're
going
to
probably
not
see
really
significant
drops
of
property
tax
for
another
two
years.
That
tends
to
be
a
lagging
indicator
as
prop
8
petitions
are
filed
with
the
assessor
so
for
the
most
part,
we're
going
to
have
a
multi-year
budget
deficit.
That
will
be
very
substantial
that
we'll
have
to
grapple
with
over
the
next
two
to
three
years,
regardless
of
how
quickly
this
economy
reopens
the
estimated
shortfall
for
our
next
fiscal
year.
Beginning
july,
1st
is
about
72
million
dollars.
A
That's
primarily
driven
by
revenue
drops
the
estimate
from
jim
shannon
and
his
team
is
about
nine
percent
and
cuts
in
revenue
and
that's
almost
twice
as
much
of
a
revenue
drop
as
we
saw
in
the
great
recession
and
about
three
times
that
we
saw
on
the
dot
com
bus.
So
this
is
a
very
severe
hit
to
our
budget.
The
good
news
is
is
that
the
shortfall
is
only
72
million.
I've
seen
larger
shortfalls
back
in
the
great
recession
in
part,
because
we've
really
worked
hard
to
build
reserves.
A
We've
worked
hard
to
create
means
of
making
our
fiscal
situation
more
resilient.
We've
gone
to
the
voters
and
struck
a
deal
with
all
the
unions
on
pension
reform.
A
whole
host
of
measures,
as
well
as
revenue,
increases
that
our
voters
have
approved
that
are
making
us
more
resilient,
but
nonetheless
this
is
a
hard
hit,
and
so
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
in
the
next
few
minutes.
A
A
It
gives
you
a
picture
of
why
we're
going
to
have
a
72
million
deficit
net
revenue
loss
of
nearly
79
million
dollars,
so
our
strategies
for
resolving
this-
and
I
should
really
explain-
that's
not
just
the
72
million
deficit
next
year
that
we
have
to
solve
for
this
pandemic,
actually
created
a
deficit
in
the
current
year
where
we
thought
we
were
running
a
surplus,
but
obviously
the
bottom
fell
out
and
jim
shannon
and
company
got
to
work
very
quickly
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago
he
figured
out.
A
We
got
a
45
million
deficit
in
this
current
year,
even
before
we
get
to
july
first.
So
that's
when
we
enacted
right
away
hiring
freezes
and
we
made
a
lot
of
our
vacancies,
go
away
vacant
positions
and
we
suspended
a
lot
of
non-essential
spending,
we're
using
some
savings
to
backfill,
and
we
solved
that
45
million
deficit
two
weeks
ago
with
the
council
vote.
So
we've
now
put
that
deficit
behind
us.
So
that's
a
share
of
a
roughly
120
million
dollar
hole.
A
Now
we've
got
the
72
million
dollar
hole
to
solve
for
july
1st,
and
we're
going
to
use
a
lot
of
the
basic
budgeting
principles.
We
have
really
focused
on
ensuring
that
we
use
as
much
as
possible
ongoing
solutions
for
this
ongoing
deficit.
One-Time
dollars
are
not
going
to
solve
the
problem,
certainly
not
by
themselves.
A
So
because
we
we
know
this
is
coming
out
is
pretty
fast.
We
still
will
need
to
use
some
one-time
dollars
we're
blessed
to
have
a
great
team
in
the
financing
department
who
is
going
to
manage
to
find
more
than
25
million
dollars
to
the
refunding
and
refinancing
of
city
hall
debt
at
lower
interest
rates.
A
We
are
utilizing
some
of
the
reserves
that
we
have
been
saving
up
over
the
last
several
years.
We've
been
very
diligent
about
building
reserves
during
the
good
years,
so
we
would
be
ready
for
the
next
recession.
So,
yes,
we'll
be
using
some
of
those
reserves,
but
those
are
only
one-time
solutions
and
we
know
those
dollars
go
away
and
we
still
have
to
solve
for
future
years,
and
so
we
have
to.
We
have
to
actually
make
the
harder
decisions,
which
is
how
we're
going
to
find
ongoing
savings
and
revenue
increases.
A
We
have
worked
very
hard
with
the
city
team,
many
department,
heads
and
really
throughout
the
entire
city
organization.
Thousands
of
our
city
employees
have
participated
in
budget
meetings
with
our
city
manager
to
talk
about
where
we
can
cut
with
the
minimal
amount
of
pain
to
our
residents
into
our
workforce.
A
So
there
are
several
reductions,
we'll
talk
about
in
service
levels.
We've
been
very
creative
in
this
nancy
klein
office,
economic
development
team
and
in
coming
up
with
a
revenue
capture
agreement
with
ebay
that
will
enable
us
to
generate
about
20
million
dollars
more
in
revenue
that
will
soften
the
blow.
For
us
and
then,
of
course,
we're
looking
for
ways
always
to
pay
down
debt
and
from
my
own
march
budget
message,
I
directed
the
payment,
a
pay
down
of
several
outstanding
debts
with
some
one-time
money.
A
We
had
that
will
reduce
the
ongoing
financing
costs
for
us
in
the
years
ahead
and
then
we're
gonna
engage
in
some
pre-funding
and
retirement
obligations
that
will
also
save
some
money.
So,
as
a
result,
we
will
have
some
ongoing
reductions
in
service.
We'll
talk
about
those
in
just
a
moment.
Here's
a
picture
of
what
we
see
just
this
year
and
the
year
starting
july,
1st
a
total
shortfall
of
a
little
more
than
120
million.
I
believe
my
math
is
correct.
A
We've
solved
that
45
million
already
now
we're
on
to
the
72
million.
I
would
not
be
surprised
if,
in
the
weeks
ahead,
this
number
actually
gets
even
deeper,
as
we
learn
more
about
what's
going
on
the
economy.
Obviously,
there's
a
lot
shifting
underneath
us
right
now,
particularly
as
we
think
about
things
like
sales
tax.
A
This
was
a
forecast
from
way
back
in
february,
before
covid
was
really
a
prominent
in
our
minds,
and
there
we
we
really
calculated
jim
shannon's
team,
looked
at
what
a
recession
would
look
like
if
it
struck
in
the
following
year.
The
bad
news
is:
we've
got
a
recession
much
sooner
and
it's
a
lot
steeper,
but
the
good
news
is
we
were
planning
for
what
might
happen
with
the
recession.
That's
why
we
were
setting
aside
reserves
and
doing
what
we
could
to
to
tighten
the
belt.
A
So
now
the
belt
tightening
is
simply
going
to
have
to
be
more
severe
and
here's
what
we're
talking
about
about
a
hundred
little
more
than
a
hundred
positions
throughout
various
departments
and
about
21
million
dollars
and
general
fund
budget
reductions.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
that
means,
for
example,
a
community
service
officer
program.
A
These
are
folks
who
really
help
our
police
department
and
providing
a
lot
of
services
and
functions
that
are
not
hazardous
in
the
sense
that
they
they
don't
involve
them
carrying
a
a
badge
and
a
gun
and
arresting
bad
guys
for
the
most
part,
they're
they're
taking
reports,
they're,
doing
investigation,
they're
handling
a
lot
of
non-emergency
police
services
and
doing
an
awful
lot
of
really
important
work
for
our
department.
We
were
going
to
hire
to
fill
10
vacant
cso
positions-
that's
not
going
to
happen
because
of
these
budget
cuts.
A
We're
also
not
going
to
be
able
to
rebuild
the
department
at
the
pace
that
we
have
been
over
the
last
several
years,
because
we're
going
to
eliminate
this
sworn
hire
ahead
program
that
helps
the
department
be
able
to
hire
in
anticipation
of
retirement.
So
what
that
means
is
as
folks
retire.
We
are
going
to
have
some
drop
in
police
staffing.
We're
going
to
do
everything
we
can
as
soon
as
our
budgetary
situation
allows
to
get
us
to
be
able
to
restore
those
positions
in
our
parks
and
wrecks
department.
A
A
The
family
camp
is
not
an
activity
that
the
county
order
currently
would
allow
a
lot
of
the
place.
Making
activations
involve
a
lot
of
public
congregation.
The
county
would
not
allow
anyway,
so
obviously
eliminating
these
enables
us
to
save
some
dollars
so
that
we
can
hang
on
to
services
that
are
critical,
another
painful
area
of
cuts
and
the
libraries.
A
The
proposal
is
for
a
reduction
of
four
hours
and
our
services
a
week,
and
so
I
know
jill
bourne
and
her
team
are
looking
for
ways
to
soften
that
blow
and
we'll
be
having
a
lot
of
discussion.
I
suspect
about
that
issue,
in
particular
with
the
rest
of
the
council
in
the
weeks
ahead.
As
we
decide
whether
or
not
we
can
reduce
that
reduction
and
mitigate
that
reduction
in
some
way
all
right.
A
There
are
some
other
areas
where
we've
had
one
time:
funded
programs
for
downtown
foot
police
patrol,
for
example,
and
we're
reducing
some
of
the
neighborhood
grants
for
beautiful
isj,
again
painful
reductions,
but
this
is
the
nature
of
a
budget
deficit,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
areas
where
we're
going
to
maintain
our
focus
and
really
keep
our
commitment
to
voters.
A
I
want
to
talk
about
a
couple
real
quickly.
One
is
a
measure
just
passed
a
few
weeks
ago,
measure
e
passed
in
march.
That
was
a
transfer
tax
measure.
It
would
fund,
affordable
housing
and
also
services
for
homelessness.
A
To
try
to
get
more
of
our
homeless
neighbors
off
the
street.
The
good
news
is,
it
did
pass
and
we're
going
to
ensure
that
every
dollar
stays
in
that
affordable
housing
fund
as
we
committed
to
voters.
Similarly,
with
measure
t
that
was
a
measure
we
passed
to
pay
for
a
lot
of
infrastructure
for
public
safety,
for
example,
to
build
fire
stations,
we've
got
station
37s
under
construction
now,
and
station
8
will
be
soon
under
construction.
A
We
hope
also
it's
being
used
for
road
repair
and
replacement,
so
we
are
paving
more
miles
of
roads
last
year.
We
did
then
any
year
in
the
prior
quarter
century
and
we're
going
to
keep
that
pace
up
of
repaving
rows
because
of
measure
t
and
also
vta
measure
b,
that
funding
will
stay
in
place
and
we're
going
to
focus
on
ensuring
that
we
get
our
roads
back
up
to
a
state
of
good
repair.
A
Then
there
are
some
other
programs
that
I
launched
as
a
mayor
in
the
last
few
years,
really
focusing
on
a
lot
of
the
challenges
we've
got
in
our
valley.
Around
equity
sj
learns
is
after
school
learning
program
for
for
children
in
our
poorest
neighborhoods,
ensuring
they
have
good
educational
access
after
school
san
jose
works,
providing
jobs
summer
jobs
for
many
of
our
teens.
A
Obviously
that
will
depend
a
lot
on
county
decisions
about
reopening
the
economy,
but
we're
going
to
continue
that
program
and
then
sj
bridge,
which
provides
transitional
jobs
for
many
of
our
homeless
individuals
who
are
working
their
way
out
of
homelessness,
they're
cleaning
up
our
roadways
and
we
know,
there's
a
big
problem
with
trash
in
our
city
and
we
we
believe
that
they
are
part
of
the
solution
and
we're
grateful
that
they
are
willing
to
be
part
of
the
solution.
A
A
We
think
that
perhaps,
with
the
help
of
some
federal
dollars
and
with
emergency
orders
in
place,
there
are
ways
that
we
can
do
more
than
we
could
before.
For
example,
in
closing
the
digital
divide,
I
think,
on
tuesday
you're
going
to
hear
the
council
consider
a
proposal
of
mine
to
and
end
of
our
our
team
that
is
headed
up
by
jill
bourne
and
in
partnership
with
marianne
duan
and
others
to
see.
A
If
we
can
expand
a
free,
wi-fi
program
that
we
had
already
launched
with
east
side,
union
high
school
district
over
at
james
lick
or
6
000
families
that
are
now
part
of
that
part
of
the
that
all
are
in
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
around
james
leck,
that
they
now
have
free
wi-fi
for
their
students
who
are
in
those
families
as
well
as
obviously
for
adults
and
anyone
else
who
can
benefit
from
connectivity.
A
We
know
there's
a
severe
divide
in
this
city
as
there
is
in
other
cities,
and
so
we're
now
under
construction
building
out
a
similar
wi-fi
network
around
overfelt
high
school
and
surrounding
neighborhoods,
we'll
next
move
on
nearby
buena
and
then
subsequent
to
that
independence
high
in
oak
grove
so
more
to
come,
and
we're
also
doing
more
to
try
to
get
more
devices
into
the
hands
of
children
who
are
relegated
to
distance
learning
as
a
result
of
the
shutdown
in
the
schools.
A
We
are
going
to
do
more
on
that
in
the
weeks
ahead,
and
I
think
you
should
definitely
stay
engaged
if
you're
interested
in
that
issue,
because
there'll
be
a
lot
moving.
We're
trying
to
accelerate
our
efforts
to
house
the
homeless.
I
think
many
know
that
we've
been
renting
motel
rooms
and
so
forth
to
move
homeless
individuals
in
we're
also
trying
to
create
more
permanent
solutions
of
building
more
than
300
units
of
prefab
modular
housing
in
three
separate
locations.
A
That's
typically
a
project
that
would
take
maybe
four
years
to
build
out
under
normal
circumstances,
so
again
using
this
crisis
in
a
way
that
helps
us
address.
Our
multiple
crises
in
this
in
this
city
is
very
important
and
then
obviously
seeing
how
we
can
create
more
outdoor
dining
and
outdoor
commerce
opportunities
for
businesses
through
san
jose
alfresco.
That's
another
important
opportunity
for
us
using
public
spaces,
our
sidewalks,
our
paseos,
our
plazas
parking
spaces
for
outdoor
commerce.
We
think
there
are
elements
of
that
that
may
well
become
permanent
in
our
city.
A
So
the
june
message
is
coming
in
a
few
weeks,
I'll
be
announcing
that
on
june
8th
and
then
we'll
consider
that
for
the
whole
council
on
june
16th,
there
may
well
need
to
be
additional
budget
reductions,
we're
going
to
learn
more
in
the
coming
weeks
and
even
after
we
approve
this
budget
in
june,
we
may
need
to
come
back
in
the
fall.
A
If
what
we
learn
is
that,
in
fact,
the
economy
is
not
reopening
at
a
pace,
we'd
all
prefer,
then
we
are
going
to
have
to
face
additional
cuts
and
those
are
even
more
challenging
reductions
and
we'll
be
hearing
more
about
that
in
september.
A
So
we
have
more
budget
meetings
ahead,
as
I
mentioned,
but
most
importantly
love
to
hear
your
comments
and
your
questions,
and
so
we're
going
to
stop
the
sharing
here
there
we
go.
Thank
you
henry
and
we'll
go
right
to
you.
If
you
could
raise
your
virtual
hands
as
you
have
questions
or
comments
or
input
of
any
kind,
you
can
raise
your
hand
by
going
to
the
participant
bar
on
the
right
and
on
the
bottom,
there
should
be
a
button
that
indicates
that
you
can
raise
your
hand.
A
B
My
question
is:
I'm
a
bicyclist
and
I
I
use
my
bicycle
as
a
form
of
transportation.
I
do
not
own
a
car
and
I
for
years,
have
been
frustrated
by
the
lack
of
street
cleaning,
especially
along
monterey
highway,
which
is
a
thoroughfare
that
I
often
take
because
I'm
not
speaking
just
for
me
and
monterey
highway,
I'm
speaking
for
all
people
that
use
the
bike.
Lane
are
the
streets
going
to
be
cleaned
any
less
well
and
they're,
not
even
cleaned
very
well
as
it
is,
but
is
it
going
to
deteriorate
from
this
point
going
forward.
A
Yeah
share
your
frustration.
Street
cleaning
is
part
of
a
contract
we
have
with
our
garbage
haulers,
so
my
understanding
is,
there
will
not
be
any
impacts
on
street
cleaning.
Specifically
jim
did
you
want
to
weigh
in
on
that.
A
And
let
me
just
say,
as
a
fellow
cyclist
I
agree
wholeheartedly,
monterey
is
never
very
well
swept
and
there's
a
lot
of
glass
and
rocks
out
there.
We
know
that's
a
danger
issue,
so
let
me
also
take
that
back.
Henry's
kind
enough
to
be
here
so
he'll
be
taking
a
couple
notes
and
we'll
follow
up
with
the
haulers
and
with
our
environmental
services
team
to
make
sure
some
of
those
pain
points
are
better
dealt
with.
So
thank
you
for
the
question
next
up
is
rosalinda
aguilar
welcome,
rosalinda.
B
Oh
good
morning,
mr
mayor,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
ask
a
question.
I'm
just
wondering
if
straight
calming
tools
will
be
protected
under
a
measure
t
as
a
leader
of
the
guadalupe
washington
neighborhood
association
last
year,
the
last
couple
years
we've
started
to
make
requests
prior
to
your
budget
review
and
some
of
our
requests
were
approved
and
some
were
pending.
Some
were
pending
further
studies,
I'm
just
wondering
where
things
like
that
fall
within
this
new
budget
crisis
that
we're
experiencing.
A
Yeah
great
question
liz
linda,
so
let
me
describe
what
we
know
of
as
of
this
budget
today.
Obviously,
things
could
change
if
it
gets
worse
and
ask
jim
to
fill
in
details,
but
we
we
started
a
program
for
sort
of
a
rapid
response
to
street
calming
challenges
where
we're
just
using
paint
without
any
physical
barriers,
and
we
think
that
there
are
a
lot
of
improvements
we
can
make,
for
example,
for
traffic
calming
narrowing
lanes.
A
A
A
B
Mayor,
I
know
that
you
know
most
of
the
I
mean
I'm
going
to
scroll
down
here,
as
I,
as
I
kind
of
answer
here,
I
know,
must
much
of
the
funding
that's
available
for
the
traffic
calming
and
the
safety
improvements
and
the
vision,
zero
projects
that
you're
talking
about
are
in
the
traffic
capital
program,
which
we
have
a
whole
nother
book,
yeah
that
really
talks
about
the
different
funding
sources
that
are
related
to
to
the
capital
improvement
program.
B
Those
are
primarily
driven
by
grants
and
by
some
of
the
taxes
that
are
levied
on
private
development
construction.
So
some
of
those
are
doing
fine.
Some
of
those
are
doing
a
little
bit
poor
because
of
the
economic
climate
that
we're
going
to
be
in
it's
still
a
pretty
significant
amount,
though
I
think
we
have
seven
million
dollars
over
two
years
for
the
vision,
zero
program
and,
I
think,
broadly
over
five
years,
we've
got
seven
point:
four
million
dollars
for
various
traffic
calming
projects.
B
I'm
gonna
try
to
scroll
down
here
in
a
little
bit
to
see
what
the
neighborhood
we
have
a
specific
allocation
for
neighborhood
traffic
calming
projects
and
I'm
just
trying
to
see
what
what
that
one
is
here,
which
I
think
is
you
know.
Let
me
let
me
find
that
number
and
I'll
get
back
to
you
over
the
next
couple
of
okay.
A
No,
that's
fine,
thanks,
jim
yeah
and
and
just
also
to
clarify
you
describe
linda,
you
mentioned
measure
t
measure.
T
spending
will
not
be
affected
by
this
downturn.
That
is
a
bond
measure,
and
so
we
will
be
spending
as
we
would
otherwise
with
measure
t,
but
most
of
those
dollars
are
really
for
basic
road
maintenance
and
not
as
much
for
traffic
calming
jim
actually
described
what
was
going
on
with
our
capital
budget,
it's
primarily
grants
and
some
construction
taxes
and
so
forth.
A
I
know
there
was
some
general
fund
source
for
some
of
the
traffic
coming
projects
that
will
be
reduced
in
this
coming
year
that
we're
allocated
based
on
based
on
need,
simply
because
we
don't
have
enough
general
fund
money
to
get
there.
So
the
short
answer
is
there'll,
be
a
bit
less
and
we're
hoping
it
won't
be.
A
lot
less
all
depends
on
what
happens
with
some
of
those
tax
revenue
indicators.
B
Great,
so
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
city
workers
who
are
keeping
things
going
while
dealing
with
the
pandemic
and
their
personal
lives.
I'm
alert
library
and
early
education,
commissioner,
and
I
would
like
to
request
that
the
city,
at
the
very
least,
maintain
the
library
budget,
libraries
integral
part
of
the
community
and
the
services,
are
essential.
At
the
time
of
this
crisis,
the
library
has
met
the
challenge
by
providing
face,
masks
and
face
shields
for
health
care
workers,
mass
for
the
homeless
and
elderly.
B
Issuing
thousands
of
library
cards,
e-library
cards,
answering
2000,
chat,
questions,
lending
close
to
150,
000,
e-books
and
running
virtual
programs,
including
the
spring
into
reading
program
and
the
upcoming
summer
learns
program,
and
it
will
be
even
more
essential
during
the
recovery.
B
B
Parents,
including
myself,
educators
and
child
care
workers,
are
all
relying
on
the
library
for
distance
learning
tools,
resources
and
virtual
programming
and
with
huge
unemployment
numbers
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
The
library's
resources
like
sjpl
works,
will
be
essential
for
helping
people
re-enter
the
workforce
and
acquire
new
skills
while
they
aren't
working
so
reducing
hours
would
be
especially
detrimental,
especially
when
libraries
reopen
the
physical
spaces
and
will
need
to
have
social
distancing.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
all
those
points
and
all
all
we'll
put
I
I
know
we
have
five
members
of
our
community
who
are
calling
in
by
phone,
and
I
want
to
remind
them
that
if
you'd
like
to
speak
to
raise
your
hand
just
push
asterisk
nine
again,
asterisk
nine
and
that'll
get
you
in
the
queue.
A
B
B
So,
first
off
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
city
city
workers.
Those
who
I
know
personally
are
heroes.
I
mean
they
have
their
own
families,
they
have
their
own
questions,
concerns
and
they've
been
working,
12,
14
18
hour
days
in
some
cases,
and
I've
just
been
really
in
awe
of
that
contribution.
Also
as
we
head
into
this.
B
This
is
bad,
but
it
could
be
so
much
worse
and
a
lot
of
confidence
in
the
combined
hundreds
or
thousands
of
of
years
of
experience
that
we've
accrued
through
our
retention
of
great
city,
employees
and
equality,
commission,
a
quality
council
and
quality
mayor
team.
So
that
gives
me
confidence
as
we
go
in.
My
question
is
one:
where
do
you
rate
on
a
scale
of
one
to
ten,
the
strength
of
our
continued
strategic
plans
to
bring
in
google
to
build
out
with
our
development
partners
their
dozens
of
development
partners?
B
Those
are
our
strategic
future
and
while
it's
bad
it
could
be
worse,
it
will
be
really
bad
if
the
bottom
falls
out
of
those
partnerships
and
will
really
be
left
with
no
economic
base.
So
that's
one
question
and
then
the
second
is
you
know.
The
heart
of
our
city
is
our
neighborhoods,
and
I
know
that
every
city
council
member
cherishes
their
relationships
with
their
neighbors.
You
know
we
have
a
neighborhoods
commission.
B
That
group
is
really
ready,
eager
champing
at
the
bit
to
make
an
even
bigger
difference,
and
we
feel
like
as
unfortunate
as
this
is
that
there's
even
greater
role
to
play
in
a
group
like
the
neighborhoods
commission,
especially
as
led
by
the
wonderful
olympia
williams
and
our
chair,
jim
carter.
So
that
might
be
a
mouthful.
Maybe
I've
run
out
of
time.
But
if
you
could
particularly
address
that
question
about
development,
I'd
really
appreciate
it.
B
Fund
it
love
it,
okay
support
it,
I
mean
recognize,
I
mean
I
know,
I
know
every
city
councilman
recognizes
it
one
way
or
another
yeah.
It's
a
group
that
we
we're
not
going
to
have
the
money,
but
we
do
have
boots
on
the
ground
and
those
boots
really
do
really
really
really
want
to
be
expanding.
Their
leadership,
expanding
leadership
in
the
community
in
all
flavors
and
we've
been
doing
it.
B
I
mean,
I
know
you
know:
you've
been
seeing
particular
individuals,
but
there's
a
body
of
leadership
that
can
be
called
upon
here
and
can
be
led
well
by
you
know
by
the
parks
and
rec.
I
know
we'll
have
cuts
there,
but
I
feel,
like
those
cuts,
actually
call
for
more
participation
and
support
from
the
neighborhoods
commission.
A
Right,
thank
you
and
nicole.
Thank
you.
First
for
your
service
on
commission,
thank
you
to
you
and
to
hillary
for
recognizing
the
incredibly
hard-working
group.
We've
got
city
employees
who,
as
you
put
it
very
well,
been
just
committing
unbelievable
amounts
of
time
and
compromising
their
own
safety
in
various
ways,
just
by
virtue
of
the
nature
of
this
pandemic,
to
be
out
there
on
the
front
line
and
working
many
many
hours
to
support
the
community.
So
thank
you
for
recognizing
that.
A
First
on
the
neighborhoods
commission,
I
don't
think
you're
going
to
see
any
any
reduction
in
support
for
that
very
important
and
vital
function
of
engagement
with
our
community
and
community
leaders,
and
I
appreciate
and
value
the
input
they
provide,
and
hopefully
you
recognize.
In
the
last
few
years
we
have
instituted
specific
procedures
to
make
sure
that
every
city
staff
report
is
incorporated.
Neighborhoods
commission
input
where
you
guys
have
weighed
in
so
we
have
really
clear
communication
on
the
economic
base.
I
know
that
was
the
larger
question.
A
A
A
The
challenge,
of
course,
as
we
know,
is
that
it's
really
not
up
to
us.
There
is
a
much
larger
set
of
forces
out
there
in
the
economy
and
they're
much
more
powerful
than
city
hall
and
they're
called
supply
and
demand,
and
the
good
news
is
all
indications
are
from
google
that
they
are.
They
continue
to
be
committed
to
moving
forward.
A
You
know,
certainly
the
pace
at
which
they
move
forward
will
be
affected
by
this
pandemic.
They've
already
indicated,
they
can't
really
make
the
deadline
to
get
a
set
of
plans
approved
by
the
council
and
on
to
the
state
by
the
end
of
this
year,
and
so
we're
looking
for
extensions,
which
is
fine.
We
understand
it.
The
reality
is,
everybody
is
shifting
their
attention
to
deal
with
what
is
urgent
and
everyone's
trying
to
keep
the
the
wheels
on.
A
So
we
understand
that
and
we're
going
to
do
everything
we
can
possibly
support
that
and
to
continue
to
ensure
that
it
gets
built
out,
but
the
good
news
is
they're
still
interested.
A
It's
going
to
depend
less
on
this
and
more
on
them,
and
the
reality
is:
is
that
it's
their
money
that
they're
going
to
invest
and
that's
true
for
every
private
sector
entity,
and
I
think
this
is
often
overlooked.
Sometimes
in
the
public
debate
and
discussion.
We
just
assume
that
these
companies
are
obligated
to
come
here
to
san
jose,
and
I
can
assure
you-
and
I
have
conversations
with
mayors
around
the
country.
A
They
are
not
obligated
to
come
here
because
those
are
mainers
who
would
be
desperate
to
see
the
kind
of
investment
we
get
routinely
here
in
san
jose
and
they
don't
get
it,
and
so
we
know
it
can
go
as
quickly
as
it
comes,
and
so
that's
why
we're
going
to
continue
to
hustle
to
get
ready
to
ensure
it's
it's
there.
I
should
also
mention
jay
paul
has
a
major
investment
pending
here
in
the
city
of
san
jose
5
million
square
feet
in
our
downtown
core.
A
That
will
also
be
critical
to
bring
in
jobs
and
yes,
revenue
that
will
be
critical
for
sustaining
basic
city
services,
everything
from
our
after-school
programs
and
libraries
to
police.
We
need
that
revenue
to
rebuild,
so
we
want
to
continue
to
support
those
efforts.
We
know
in
other
cases,
though,
boston
properties,
for
example,
put
a
hold
on
their
project
about
a
million
square
feet
in
the
west
eurodon
area
and
again,
for
totally
understandable
reasons.
The
capital
markets
have
frozen
and
a
lot
of
these
developers
are
saying:
well,
you
know
maybe
the
tenant.
A
A
This
is
going
to
be
a
very
sharp
cycle
that
we're
going
to
have
to
grapple
with,
and
we
hope
it
will
be
one
that
will
not
be
lengthy
in
duration,
so
we're
gonna
do
everything
we
can
just
to
be
ready
to
support
whatever
private
sector
entity
wants
to
invest
in
our
city,
but
ultimately
we
do
have
to
remember
it's
up
to
them
and
it's
their
money,
so
we're
just
going
to
have
to
do
our
best.
Thank
you
for
the
question,
though
I
have
either
patty
mirror
or
miriamira.
B
It's
it's
good,
seeing
you!
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing
here
this
morning
with
the
budget
stuff.
I
had
a
question
about
the
your
aspect
of
the
of
the
homeless
and
I
I
know
you're
in
the
and
you
mentioned
a
temporary
housing
kind
of
situation.
That's
I
think,
already
been
started.
My
memory
is
that
there's
40
units
or
60
units
that
are
going
into
that
is.
A
B
A
plan
for
really
addressing
the
the
large
number
of
homeless
that
are
on
our
streets
today,
the
six
thousand
roughly
that
are
in
the
city,
the
ten
thousand
roughly
in
the
county,
that
that
is
worked
into
this
this
budget
or
is
planned
for
the
next
budget
years.
A
Patrick
thank
you
for
the
question.
Thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
on
this
really
important
issue.
I
think
this
is
how
we
met
probably
20
years
ago
back
when
you
were
on
the
board
of
organization
called
emergency
housing
consortiums.
Thank
you.
B
Yeah-
and
I
know-
and
I
know
you've
been
a
good
supporter
of
the
of
the
homeless
issue
and
trying
to
resolve
it,
and
I
know
it's
not
one.
That's
going
to
be
going
to
go
away,
irrespective
of
whether
we
have
a
covered
19
thing
hanging
overhead
or
not,.
A
A
As
you
know,
the
the
solution
to
homelessness
is
housing,
and
so
we
got
to
get
housing
built
quickly
and
make
it
more
accessible
for
folks.
A
In
the
short
run,
we
were
looking
at
a
couple
of
transitional
housing
projects
that
we
can
really
leverage
to
help
those
individuals
who
might
be
able
to
pay
for
rent
because
they
have
a
section,
8
voucher
or
maybe
they're
a
veteran
with
a
vash
voucher.
There's
no
apartments
out
there
that
are
open,
and
often
it
takes
typically
60
and
90
days
for
them
to
even
get
into
an
apartment.
A
So
we
create
transitional
housing
to
help
have
a
place
for
them
to
land
and
get
back
on
their
feet,
while
they're
looking
to
get
that
open
apartment,
and
so
we
finished
one
of
those
tiny
home
projects
about
a
dozen
blocks
from
my
house,
east
of
101
near
mayberry,
and
then
a
second
one's
under
construction
now
at
280
and
101,
in
partnership
with
habitat
for
humanity.
So
the
good
news
about
those
is
the
first
one's
up
and
running.
It's
been
very
successful.
A
Already,
we've
had
more
than
a
dozen
people
have
transitioned
out
of
that
into
permanent
housing
already,
and
we
expect
many,
many
more
that's
going
to
really
cycle
people
through
a
few
months
at
a
time.
So,
although
it's
only
40
units,
we
expect
they'll
serve
a
couple
hundred
a
year
potentially
and
then
as
separate
from
that
we've
got
these
prefab
modular
dorms
that
are
under
construction,
the
first
of
three
sites
under
construction.
Now,
the
other
two
have
just
been.
A
The
bids
have
just
come
in
and
we're
building
80
units
on
one
site
in
south
san
jose
and
then
we'll
build
a
second
site
about
120
units
and
then
a
third
a
little
more
than
a
hundred.
That
will
be
for
the
third
one
moves
for
families,
and
you
know
the
the
great
lesson
we're
learning
out
of
that
is
when,
when
the
governor
waves
sequa
and
we're
able
to
get
through
some
of
the
red
tape,
we
can
move
pretty
darn
fast
and
really
thanks
to
the
leadership
of
jim
ortball,
has
been
spearheading.
A
This
thing,
as
I
mentioned,
these
80
units
will
get
built
in
four
weeks
that
we
ordinarily
would
take
four
years
to
build
and
we're
going
to
do
it
at
about
somewhere
around
60
to
70
thousand
dollars
per
unit,
which
is
for
those
of
you
in
the
construction
industry
know
that's
about
one
tenth
of
what
it
costs
to
build
an
apartment
right
now
in
a
typical
apartment
building.
If
we
were
to
build
in
conventional
ways
and
so
we're
using
city
land.
Obviously
it's
free.
A
It's
not
always
going
to
be
the
case
when
we're
building
on
other
people's
land
and
we're
using
prefab
modular
housing,
construction
and,
and
obviously
it's
not
it's,
not
the
solution
forever.
This
is
going
to
be
primarily
transitional
housing,
but
it
is
a
critical
solution,
and
so
I
think
what
we
are
learning
through
this
process
is
ways
to
move
faster,
more
nimbly
and
more
cost
effectively
to
tackle
this
enormous
crisis.
Now
I
just
described
for
you
with
a
total
of
about
380
units
and,
as
you
described,
we've
got
a
problem
with
6
000
human
beings.
A
Jen,
loving,
really
spearheaded
this
effort
over
destination
home
to
try
to
see
how
we
could
put
small
modest
amounts
of
money
in
the
hands
of
families
right
as
they
were
about
to
get
their
notice
of
eviction
and
with
about
four
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
on
average
for
each
family.
We're
able
a
year
later,
to
keep
95
percent
of
those
families
housed,
and
that
is
an
extraordinary
cost
savings
to
the
taxpayer
and,
most
importantly,
an
enormous
amount
of
saved
human
misery,
because
those
are
families
will
be
pushed
out
in
the
street.
A
So
we
think
that's
a
formula.
That's
going
to
be
very
successful
that
we
really
want
to
drive
in
the
future,
particularly
once
we
get
the
wheels
back
on
in
this
economy,
which
is
not
simply
investing
in
the
housing
but
much
more
cost-effectively.
Investing
in
keeping
people
housed
when
they've
just
lost
their
job,
or
they
maybe
have
had
a
health
set
back
and
and
and
there's
been
a
loss
of
income
in
some
way.
If
we
can
provide
that
bridge,
then
we've
got
a
much
cheaper
solution.
That's
obviously
going
to
do
far
more
for
people.
A
So
that's
the
longer
term
strategy,
in
combination
with
everything
we're
trying
to
do
around
construction,
we're
getting
from
the
county
and
passing
measure
b
a
couple
years
ago,
and
now
more
recently
at
the
city,
with
a
passage
of
our
own
measure
e
will
provide
some
more
dollars
to
do
both
of
those
things
both
build
the
housing
and
hopefully
keep
more
people
housed
or
on
the
edge
more
to
come
on
that
front.
Thanks
patrick-
and
I
please
give
my
best
well
robin
romer-
welcome
sir.
B
You
thank
you,
mr
carter
and
first
off.
I
wanted
to
thank
both
you
and
staff
for
a
continuing
to
strengthen
vision,
zero
with
this
budget
as
much
as
you
can
obviously
under
circumstances,
and
you
know
making
it
safer
for
people
to
walk
and
buy.
It
has
become
so
much
more
important
even
now
than
than
before,
and
the
second
thing
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for-
and
this
might
be
a
bit
nerdy,
but
for
budgeting,
an
update
to
the
overall
north
san
jose
transportation
policy.
B
It's
been
a
tricky
situation
up
here,
and
I
really
hope
that
this
update
will
finally
allow
us
to
unlock
some
of
the
growth
potential
in
the
area
now,
as
a
parent
at
orchard
elementary
in
north
san
jose.
I
have
to
bring
up
this
record
extension,
of
course,
in
the
camera
budget
and,
as
you
know,
it's
a
50
million
dollar
city-led
project
that
will
add
about
14
000
cars
a
day
to
a
residential
street
next
to
an
elementary
school.
B
As
I
understand,
staff
proposes
right
now
to
increase
funding
for
shortcut
by
about
70
50
000,
and
then
my
understanding
is
further
that
the
as
the
project
moves
along
into
right-of-way
acquisition
in
construction,
the
city
will
have
to
cough
up
another
about
five
million
dollars
as
a
local
match
to
measure
b
funding.
B
Now
my
question
would
be
as
a
circuit
moves
forward
and
I
believe
the
project
in
the
eir
will
go
to
council
for
final
approval,
this
june's
on
a
few
weeks.
How
much
does
the
budgetary
situation
and
the
budgetary
impact
of
this
factor
into
your
decision
making
on
which
capital
projects
to
pursue
and
which
not.
A
Because
those
are
capital
dollars-
and
this
is
something
as
you
know-
has
been
in
the
works
for
a
couple
decades-
the
dollars
were
already
allocated,
as
I
understood
it,
and
jim
maybe
may
want
to
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong
about
that-
and
so
I
don't
expect
it
will
be
affected
by
this
now.
A
Obviously,
we
still
need
vta
approval
for
the
measure
b
dollars
and
then
we're
going
to
need,
ultimately,
probably
some
state
and
regional
funding
to
complete
the
project
and
all
of
those
things
undoubtedly
may
be
affected
by
this
economy,
and
so
I
I
know
robin
you've
been
a
very
faithful
opponent
of
this
project.
I
would
say
very
articulate
one
and
very
well
informed
opponent
of
this
project,
and
so
I
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
have
taken
great
pains
make
sure
the
community
is
well
informed
about
the
the
risks
here.
A
A
I
would
also
say,
as
we're
looking
at
this
north
san
jose
analysis,
I
am
more
than
willing
to
keep
an
open
mind
about
whether
or
not
what
we
learn
changes
our
perspective
about
the
necessity
of
this
project.
I've
always
been
led
to
believe
based
on
analysis.
That's
been
done
for
more
than
two
decades
that
this
was
a
project
that
was
critically
important
for
circulation
in
that
north
san
jose
area.
A
A
I'm
going
to
make
also
certain
that
if
this
thing
gets
built,
it
is
built
with
safety,
absolutely
paramount
in
the
design
to
ensure
the
safety
of
those
children
at
the
school.
But
thank
you
for
raising
the
issue
robin.
I
suspect
we're
going
to
have
some
more
conversation
in
the
weeks
ahead.
Amity
bateman
welcome,
amity.
B
Hello
mayor,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
this
time.
I
really
appreciate
you
sharing
this
with
the
community
and
I
also
appreciate
the
creative
ways
you
guys
are
looking
at
possible
opportunities
in
the
crisis,
to
you
know
fast-track
housing
and
some
other
areas.
B
I
am
a
member
of
surge
at
sacred
heart
and,
as
has
come
up
in
some
of
the
other
callers
concerns.
Some
of
the
areas
that
you
guys
have
outlined
for
budget
reductions
have
the
potential
to
have
an
unequal
impact
on
vulnerable
populations,
so
people
of
color
undocumented
neighbors
of
ours
last
year.
B
I
know
the
city
identified
equity
as
a
priority
for
the
budget,
but
you
know
those
were
those
were
different
times,
and
so
I'm
hoping
you
can
share
how
the
city
is
ensuring
that
vulnerable
people
are
protected
and
that
equity
remains
a
priority.
While
you
are
making
these
hard
budget
decisions.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
amity,
so
we
are
retaining
a
focus
on
on
equity
and,
in
fact,
staff
has
released
an
equity
analysis
of
the
proposed
reductions.
Obviously,
in
the
good
times,
it's
an
equity
analysis
of
how
we're
going
to
spend
money.
Those
are
those
are
better
conversations
to
have
in
in
in
this
case,
it's
about
how
we're
going
to
best
protect
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
against
the
brunt
of
the
cuts.
A
That
being
said,
let
me
be
painfully
honest
here,
which
is
the
most
vulnerable
communities
in
our
city
are
the
ones
who
depend
the
most
on
city
services,
and
I
I
know
that
too
well.
My
experience
back
in
my
days
as
a
criminal
prosecutor
and
the
extent
to
which
in
struggling
neighborhoods
residents
critically
need
police
response
and
emergency
medical
response.
If
they
don't
have
health
insurance
and
the
host
of
ways
in
which
city
services
are
absolutely
essential,
and
so
anytime
we
are
cutting
any
city
service.
A
It
is
virtually
assured
that
vulnerable
communities
will
feel
it
worse
by
virtue
of
the
fact
that
they're
already
vulnerable
and
they
already
depend
on
city
services
more
than
others,
and
you
know,
for
example,
this
summer
we're
cutting
our
aquatics
program
across
the
city.
Now
we're
doing
that
primarily
because
of
the
public
health
mandate.
That
tells
us
we
can't
have
outdoor
swimming
at
least
not
now,
but
we
know
how
that's
going
to
cut
we
we
know,
even
though
we're
doing
it
throughout
the
city.
A
It's
it's
kids
in
low-income
families
who
are
not
going
to
have
access
to
pools,
wealthier,
kids
or
kids,
maybe
in
families
who
are
able
to
afford
being
able
to
have
a
membership
at
a
club
or
even
better.
If
they've
got
a
pool
in
the
neighborhood
or
in
their
yard.
I
mean
that's,
obviously,
a
very
obvious
to
spirit
impact.
So
I
I
want
to
say
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
this
analysis
and
we're
going
to
be
very
transparent
about
equity
impacts
and
what
decisions
we're
making.
A
But
I
don't
want
to
mislead
in
saying
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
this
in
ways
that
ensures
that
vulnerable
communities
are
not
going
to
be
impacted
adversely
because
we
know
in
any
budget
reduction.
It's
always
those
who
depend
the
most
on
government
service
that
are
affected
the
worst
and
most
painfully,
and
so
we
simply
have
to
have
our
eyes
very
wide
open
about
how
we
can
protect
the
best
we
possibly
can,
and
I
think
everyone
at
the
city
is
committed
to
doing
that.
A
I
think
we've
seen
that
really
in
the
city
workforce
over
the
last
several
weeks,
you
look
at
160
employees
now
that
are
entirely
dedicated
to
distributing
two
and
a
half
million
meals
a
week.
They
were
never
doing
that
before
and
they're
doing
it
now,
because
we
know
that's
where
the
need
is.
You
know
all
the
work
that
jill
and
her
team
are
doing
around
digital
inclusion,
although
that
is
work
we
were
doing
before,
but
now
we're
accelerating
it.
Obviously
the
focus
is
on
children
and
low-income
families.
A
The
work
we're
doing
around
homelessness,
so
all
this
is
is
with
a
primary
focus
on
protecting
those
who
are
most
vulnerable.
But,
as
you
know,
there
are
just
no
assurances
about
the
fact
the
impacts
are
not
going
to
be
felt.
We
know
they
will
be.
So.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
We
can
look
forward
to
continuing
this.
This
conversation,
about
equity,
about
race
and
and
about
the
disparate
needs
in
our
community
and
we're
going
to
have
to
just
continue
to
learn
and
do
better
jim
markin
welcome.
B
Good
morning,
mr
mayor,
my
concern
is
also
with
the
homeless
issues,
and
I
know
I
was
involved
with
my
neighbor
association
with
the
opening
of
the
renaissance
house
on
center
road
yeah,
and
in
doing
that,
it
came
to
me
that
it
takes
a
long
time
to
get
a
homeless
person
into
one
of
those
facilities.
B
And
now
I'm
concerned
that,
on
in
my
neighborhood,
I've
got
a,
I
want
to
say,
a
cluster
of
homeless
people
that
are
blocking
the
sidewalks
they're
out
there
all
day,
long
they're
not
practicing
the
social
distancing,
they're
not
wearing
masks
they're,
just
in
involving
themselves
where
the
community
can't
go
in
that
neighborhood.
I
just
can't
get
anybody
out
there
to
address
that
issue
and
to
get
them
to
just
follow
the
rules.
What
do
we?
What
do
we
do
in
this
case,
where
they're,
just
not
following
the
rules.
A
And
you're
talking
about
an
encampment
out
there
near
near
renaissance
house,.
B
Yeah
there's
a
long,
it's
a
long,
long,
bluff
by
the
burger
king.
There
I've
been
to
the
city
council,
I've
been
doing
or
contacting
our
council
member
a
number
of
times,
but
it's
just
a
growing
problem
and
it's
not
in
a
in
a
place
that
the
homeless
people
go
to
unless
they're
called
to
and
now
with
the
cover.
19
issue,
we're
just
not
addressing
homeless
issues.
A
Yeah,
I
appreciate
your
frustration.
I
know
you're
not
alone
on
this,
so
let
me
explain
under
I
believe
both.
A
We
have
stopped
doing
encampment
sweeps
and
we've
done
that
because
we
are
being
told
and
the
best
information
is,
is
that
doing
encampment
sweeps
increases
the
likelihood
of
mixing
of
individuals
in
ways
that
will
spread
covet,
and
so
we
know
that's
a
real
pain
point
for
residents
where
those
encampments
are
particularly
in
troubling
locations,
and
I
fully
appreciate
your
frustration.
A
A
A
A
There
are
other
projects
like
that,
and
I
am
learning
that
getting
individuals
through
the
county
process
and
there's
a
very
sophisticated
rubric
they
use
for
identifying
who
is
needy
and
who
gets
to
who
is
most
vulnerable
and
who
gets
to
go
to
which
project
that
there's
way
there's
way
too
much
lag
time
and
I've
expressed
my
frustration.
I
know
many
of
my
colleagues
have
as
well
that
we're
not
moving
people
more
quickly
into
those
developments
when
they're
getting
built.
A
But
it's
fundamentally
one
that's
not
entirely
within
our
control,
so
I'll
continue
to
express
the
views
that
you've
shared,
which
is
it's
taking
too
long
to
get
people
on
those
in
those
projects,
and
let
me
check
in
with
our
housing
homelessness
response
team
to
determine
if
there
are
particularly
particular
concerns
with
regard
to
safety
around
that
encampment
and
whether
or
not
we
can
at
least
get
in
there
and
pull
some
folks
out
and
get
them
into
motels
and
to
other
locations.
A
If
nothing
else
to
reduce
the
density
of
the
population
there.
We
are
in
a
variety
of
encampments
throughout
the
city,
providing
washing
stations
and
sanitizer
and
other
kinds,
showers
and
so
forth,
portable
showers,
so
that
folks
can
keep
themselves
safe.
But
we
know
that's
by
no
means
capturing
everybody
who's
out
there
on
the
street
and
so
we're
just
going
to
have
to
keep
working
hard
at
it.
A
But
I'll
follow
up
on
this
jim.
Thank
you
for
raising
the
concern
and
my
apologies
for
the
frustration
again.
I
want
to
emphasize
to
our
call-in
listeners
if
you're
on
the
phone
and
you're
not
on
computer,
please
dial
star
9
again
star
9
or
asterisk
9,
whatever
you
call
that
thing
on
your
phone
and
that
will
get
you
in
the
queue
to
ask
a
question,
but
you're
certainly
free
to
listen
without
asking
questions.
A
But
if
you
want
to
make
a
comment
or
ask
a
question:
that's
the
key
star
nine
and
we
have
just
a
couple
folks
left.
I
think
so
we'll
wrap
this
up
shortly.
But
if
you
want
to
raise
a
question,
make
a
comment:
please
raise
your
hand.
That
is
the
blue
hand
that
appears
on
the
participants
screen.
I
think
you
can
do
that
on
the
bottom
right
of
your
screen
and
then
we'll
wrap
things
up,
tina,
morrow,
clue,
tina.
A
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
come
back
to
you
tina,
because
it
appears
right
now
we're
not
able
to
hear
you.
So
if
you
want
to
try
messing
with
a
little
bit
we'll
come
right
back
to
you,
we'll
first
go
to
lisa.
We
say
welcome
and
thank
you
for
everything
that
you
are
doing
with
tycho.
B
Thank
you,
mayor
council
and
city
staff
for
your
leadership
during
these
difficult
times
and
for
this
forum
to
question
and
comment.
My
name
is
lisa
umar,
I'm
executive
director
for
san
jose
taiko
and
based
on
the
budget
information
shared
publicly.
It
looks
like
the
office
of
cultural
affairs.
Grants
will
be
decreasing
around
60
percent,
since
the
hotel
tax
is
so
significantly
reduced
in
the
coming
fiscal
year.
For
many
of
the
arts
in
this
area,
oca
grants
are
significant
portion
of
annual
income,
and
with
so
many
in
need
in
this
these
difficult
times.
B
I
urge
you
not
to
make
the
I
urge
you
to
make
the
arts
an
and
and
not
an
ore.
As
you
know,
the
arts
in
san
jose
consists
of
many
smaller
medium
medium-sized
organizations.
Like
my
own
san
jose
taiko,
our
arts
ecosystem
serves
many
communities
of
color
that
are
in
many
ways.
The
most
vulnerable
arts
will
be
integral
to
the
recovery
of
public
life
as
we
move
out
of
this
pandemic,
this
most
urgent
pandemic
stage
and
start
to
explore
the
loosening
of
the
shelter
in
place
directives
as
you
explore.
B
Both
pragmatic
and
creative
solutions
to
the
shortfall
art
should
be
a
part
of
your
problem-solving
arsenal,
since
our
work
impacts.
So
many
other
businesses,
my
own
org,
with
a
meager
800
000
annual
operating
budget,
reaches
an
annual
audience
space
of
70
000..
In
turn,
our
activities
help
to
pump
1.8
million
into
the
local
economy.
We
are
place
makers,
employers.
We
are
non-profits
and
small
businesses,
our
audience
members
and
program
participants
are
tourists,
restaurant
patrons
and
consumers.
B
A
Thank
you
and
thanks
for
your
leadership
with
san
jose
tyco,
it's
certainly
a
pride
of
our
community.
We
should
you're
right
that
there's
devastating
cuts
in
cultural
arts
grants,
but
I
don't
believe
it's
60.
I
think
it's
less.
Let
me
just
check
in
with
jim
jim,
when
we
last
looked
at
this,
I
think
the
reduction
was
roughly
6.3
million
to
3.6
million
was
was
that
right
from
the
tot
grant
to
arts
and
cultural
organizations.
B
Mayor
that
is
correct,
so,
when
you
look
at
so
we
have,
those
allocations
are
based
on
a
formula
in
the
city's
uni
code,
and
so
when
you
look
at
the
out
allocation
compared
to
the
the
the
tot
revenue
from
last
year
to
the
new
tot
estimated
for
this
this
current
year,
it's
that
difference
of
about
2.7
million
dollars,
okay,
6.3
to
3.7.
A
B
Bigger
when
you're
looking
at
some
of
the
budget
documents,
it
looks
like
a
bigger
drop
than
what
I
just
said,
because
when
you
see
what
the
current
year's
funding
is
or
the
1920
funding
is,
it
has
some
carryover
funds
from
the
previous
years.
They
get
lumped
together
there,
so
it
looks
a
little
bit
like
like
a
steeper
drop
and
then
than
it
is,
though,
still
pretty
significant.
A
Yeah,
it
certainly
is
so
just
everyone's
aware
how
we
have
funded
for
decades
our
grants
to
arts
and
cultural
organizations.
A
It
may
be
the
case
that,
as
a
council,
we
need
to
reconsider
whether
it's
really
tot,
that
is
the
basis
for
arts
grants
going
forward.
Given
the
volatility
of
the
revenue
source
and
that's
certainly
a
question,
I'm
quite
willing
to
consider
that's
not
going
to
suddenly
get
a
lot
more
money
to
the
arts,
but
hopefully
provide
a
little
more
stability
to
those
grant
programs
and
but
again
something
I'm
willing
to
consider.
A
We
said
and
appreciate
that
many
of
those
organizations
are
obviously
employing
a
lot
of
people
and,
importantly,
adding
much
to
the
character
of
our
community.
So
thank
you
for
raising
the
issue
and
I
suspect,
we're
going
to
have
more
conversation
about
this
publicly.
In
the
weeks
ahead,
there
was
a
person
who
is
calling
in
who
has
a
phone
number
ending
in
1205.
A
B
I
want
to
say
thank
you
guys,
you
and
your
the
council
very
much
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing.
I
know
these
are
really
trying
times
I'd
like
to
get
your
general
thoughts
about
the
planned
airport
expansion,
given
the
potential
reduction
in
travel,
understanding
that
you
and
the
council
are
having
to
take
a
long
view.
You
know
of
this
planned
expansion.
I
I
assume
it's
extremely
expensive.
A
Yeah
great
question
tina,
I
know.
Obviously,
since
you
live
over
there
not
far
from
the
airport,
I
know
that's
an
intense
concern
to
an
awful
lot
of
residents.
So,
as
you
know,
airline
industry
has
been
devastated.
Passenger
accounts
are
probably
down
close
to
90
percent.
A
We
know
it's
going
to
be
a
long
road
to
get
passenger
accounts
up
to
where
they
were
just
a
few
months
ago,
and
I
saw
one
estimate
of
something
on
the
order
of
four
to
five
years
and
obviously
it's
not
until
it
gets
somewhere
near
that
number
that
I
think
anyone's
going
to
be
terribly
focused
on
expansion
at
that
airport.
A
So
I
can
tell
you,
as
of
two
days
ago,
when
we
were
looking
at
this
in
our
public
meetings.
The
expansion
was
not
part
of
the
five-year
capital
budget
for
the
airport.
That
doesn't
mean
it
couldn't
go
back
in
if
circumstances
change
dramatically,
but
it's
not
currently
planned
in
the
near
term.
That
is
in
the
next
say
three
to
four
years,
and
it
will
be
another
mayor
after
me,
since
I'm
turned
out
after
you
know
another
two
and
a
half
years.
A
It's
gonna
be
another
mayor
that
sees
that
through,
so
you
have
at
least
a
few
years
reprieve
if
you're
concerned
about
that,
and
I
know
that
we
obviously
still
have
obligations
to
pay
off
from
the
last
renovation
expansion
at
the
airport
about
a
billion
dollars
in
bonds.
We've
been
very
successful
in
paying
those
down,
and
we've
got
a
good
plan
in
place
to
take
care
of
those
for
the
next
couple
years.
Despite
the
severe
downturn,
so
I'm
not
worried
about
the
short-term
financial
impacts
at
the
airport,
though.
A
Obviously
it's
a
lot
of
jobs
loss
that
I'm
very
worried
about.
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Tina
there's
also
a
person
who's
calling
in
with
a
phone
number
ending
8809
8809.
If
you
could.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
Yeah
mayor,
thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me.
B
On
the
measure
b,
I
just
wonder
if
we
got
some:
that's
the
quarter,
quarter,
cent,
tails
sales
tax
revenue
measure
and
even
with
the
sales
tax
revenue
coming
in,
it's
gonna,
be
you
know,
considerably
reduced
we'd
be
getting
about
40
million
dollars
a
year.
On
that
do
we
have
some
flexibility
in
there
that
we
could
maybe
target
some
specific
with
the
shortfall
we're
going
to
have
coming
up,
maybe
reassess
some
of
those
allocations
we
made
are
going
to
make
and
maybe
make
some
targeted
expenditures.
A
You
know
I
I
think
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
talking
about
the
same
measure
b.
So
there's
a
measure
b
pass
in
2016
was
the
vta
measure.
That
was
a
half
cent.
Then
there
was
a
measure
b
in
2008
that
generated
the
roughly
40
million
dollars
you're.
Referring
to
that
was
actually
an
eighth.
B
A
B
What
I'm
saying
is
you
know
we
got
circumstances
now
that,
maybe
you
know
it's
it's
probably
it's
obvious
could
be
less
than
40
million
coming
in
this
year.
Yeah,
but
maybe
target
you
know,
use
some
of
that
money
that
comes
in
as
a
result
of
that
sales,
tax
revenue
and
maybe
focus
it
on
some
issues
that
you
know
you
could
see
some
results
by
you
know
just
making
a
little
better
targeting
of
allocating
those
resources.
A
A
Yeah
we
have
some
commissions
online,
that's
good,
so
I
I
guess
to
we're
always
open
to
the
creative
ideas
of
that
come
up
through
the
commission,
but
I
should
probably
dampen
the
optimism
a
bit
by
saying
the
money's
pretty
well
spoken,
for
that
is.
We've
had
that
2016
measure
baked
in
to
our
allocations.
Now,
for
some
time.
A
As
you
know,
the
first
year
allocation
went
primarily
to
fire
department
and
and
roads
and
higher
head
for
the
policing
now
with
the
road
money
that
has
come
in
from
measures,
t
and
vta
measure
b,
really
that
money
has
shifted
almost
entirely
to
public
safety,
it's
really
around
police
and
fire,
and
I
think
some
gang
prevention
as
well
and
a
little
bit
of
homelessness
prevention.
A
So
all
those
dollars
were
pretty
well
spoken
for
and
so
there's,
no,
I
guess
fair
to
say,
there's
no
stray
revenue
that
we
can
now
use
to
backfill
jim.
Do
I
have
that
fairly
accurately
described.
B
Yes,
mayor
correct
so
of
the
that
quarter,
the
eighth
percent
portion
of
the
sales,
the
sales
tax.
You
know
that
is
part
of
our
general
fund
revenue.
You
know,
as
as
the
oversight
community
in
the
neighborhoods
commission
has
been
looking
at
that
you
know,
we've
been
associating
that
with
some
certain
aligning
that
with
some
of
the
programs
that
were
identified
as
part
of
the
the
initial
direction
as
part
of
the
1617
budget
for
police
and
fire
risk
response.
B
A
Yeah,
okay,
thanks
jim
now,
I
know
that
we're
getting
toward
almost
close
to
11
30.,
so
I'm
gonna
ask
if
anyone
has
a
question
or
comment.
I
see
two
people
have
raised
their
hand.
I
can
see
visually.
Please
raise
your
hand
now
and
we'll
we'll
close
the
public
comment
in
just
a
few
minutes,
and
so,
if
you
could
raise
your
hand
now
make
sure
you're
in
the
queue
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
your
question
and
comment.
A
So
I
just
saw
someone
had
their
hands
raised
and
took
it
down.
If
I
don't
want
to
discourage
anyone
from
raise
their
hand,
I
actually
want
to
encourage
you
to
raise
it
now
and
then
we'll
we'll
make
sure
you're
in
the
queue
I
have,
mr
mr
cassidy
and
then
rod
carpenter
so
far.
If
anyone
else
would
like
to
raise
their
hand,
please
do
so
we'll
call
first
on
d,
cassidy.
A
Hello,
I
think
your
your
device
is
still
on
mute.
It
appears
so
if
you
could
take
your
device
off
mute,
then
we'll
be
able
to
hear
you.
A
We're
we're
still
not
able
to
hear
you
right
now,
so
let
me
ask
you
if
you
could
to
try
to
look
at
the
level
left
corner
of
your
screen
on
most
zoom
programs
will
be.
The
mute
button
will
be
on
the
lower
left
corner
and
if
you
need
to
do
some
manipulating
there
or
alternately
you
want
to
call
in
on
the
phone
number,
you
can
go
ahead
and
call
in.
Let
me
read
that
number:
do
you
have
that?
A
Okay,
we'll
give
you
that
phone
number
in
a
moment,
because
it
may
be
a
problem
with
your
software
device?
What
we'll
do
is
we'll
move
to
rod
carpenter
for
now
and
after
we
hear
from
rod,
we'll
provide
you
with
a
phone
number,
so
you
can
call
in
and
that
way
you
can
have.
We
can
hear
you,
okay,
so
with
apologies,
rod,
carpenter,
welcome.
A
B
A
So
let's
take
care
of
the
money
issue,
not
one.
I
recommend,
but
I
understand.
B
As
a
past
president
of
martin
fontana
parks,
association,
listening
to
the
the
cuts
in
the
budget
in
that
department.
A
Yeah,
let
me
describe
john's
actually
on
the
line
so
I'll
I'll
defer
to
him,
but
the
basic
cuts.
A
As
I
understand
there
are
several
of
the
the
programs
that
relate
to
a
lot
of
outdoor
congregating,
that
we
can't
really
do
anyway,
like
viva
parks,
eva
caye
and
family
camp
and
the
aquatics
program,
and
then
a
reduction
about
1.3
million,
really
from
savings
that
I
think,
through
a
lot
of
great
work
in
the
parks
team,
they're
able
to
generate
in
reducing
water
consumption
that
I
don't
believe,
is
going
to
affect
quality
of
the
parks.
It's
actually
efficiencies
that
they've
got
through
technology
and
just
better
utilization
of
water.
John.
B
I
think
the
issue
with
the
department
is
that
over
the
years
the
number
of
employees
have
been
cut
down
to
where
it's
very
minimal,
and
I
would
hope
that
it
wouldn't
be
cut
anymore.
A
Yeah
fair
point:
let
me
get
to
that
point
in
just
a
moment.
I'm
just
going
to
interrupt
for
a
moment
to
make
sure
that
mr
miss
cassidy
has
a
phone
number
to
call
in
because
it
appears
their
device
is
unable
to
get
us
access.
The
phone
number
is.
A
So
coming
back
to
you,
sir,
on
the
on
the
cuts
to
staff,
there's
no
question
that
prns
staff
probably
took
the
worst
cuts
through
the
great
recession
and
we're
very
mindful
of
that
community
centers.
I
know
dramatically
reduced
amount
of
city
staff,
we're
relying
overwhelmingly
on
now
nonprofits
for
all,
but
I
think
a
dozen
of
our
community
centers.
A
I
I
can't
I'm
not
sure,
there's
there's
much.
I
can
say
other
than
we're
going
to
do
the
best
we
can
to
hang
on
to
as
many
of
those
pr
staff,
because
we
know
that
they
are
at
the
front
line
of
interaction
for
thousands
of
our
residents,
and
so
many
residents
depend
on
those
services.
But
john,
do
you
want
to
add
anything.
B
No
mayor,
I
think
you
did
a
good
job
thanks.
Okay,.
A
All
right
so
we're
we're
gonna
do
the
best
we
can-
and
you
know
fortunately,
john-
is
a
very
creative
guy
and
he's
looking
for
ways
to
to
cut
dollars
without
impacting
the
services
directly
and
and
we're
going
to
just
keep
trying
to
do
that.
A
Obviously,
if
things
get
better
and
we
have
the
the
benefit
of
federal
money,
for
example,
the
backfill
holes
we'll
be
able
to
ensure
we
restore
more
of
the
services
and
obviously
if
the
economy
continues
to
to
stay
at
its
current
pace,
we're
going
to
have
to
find
more
cuts.
So
this
is
all
tentative
for
now
and
we're
just
going
to
ask
for
the
patience
of
everybody
as
we
try
to
transparently
describe
what
it
is
we're
dealing
with
here
at
the
city.
Hopefully,
I've
given
the
cassie.
No,
they.
A
Okay,
mr
miss
cassie,
we're
going
to
try
you
one
more
time
see
if
you
can
unmute
on
your
device,
hopefully
you're,
trying
to
call
in
at
this
time
and
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
speak.
Please
feel
free
to
raise
your
hand
or,
if
you're,
calling
in
just
a
dial
star9
and
we're
not
hearing
from
you
now.
So
it
appears
that
the
device
is
not
quite
no.
They
can't
email
me
their
question.
B
A
Yeah,
why
don't
we
do
that
looks
like
the
device
isn't
going
to
work?
So
why
don't
we
ask
you
to
email,
henry
who's
high
enough
to
offer
his
email
address.
It's.
A
A
A
B
A
A
Because,
honestly,
I
think
our
focus
has
really
been
as
a
council
and
our
deliberation
so
far
and
our
conversations
and
questions
on
this
first
tier
of
cuts-
and
I
don't
think
there
have
been
any
really
significant
questions
coming
in
about
the
second
tier
and
obviously
we
would
need
to
have
a
whole
nother
set
of
public
conversations
prior
to
the
vote
on
that
second
tier
in
september.
A
So
let
me
take
your
question
and
as
under
advisement
as
something
we
would
want
to
consider
in
the
weeks
ahead
to
give
some
basic
direction.
Obviously
you
probably
know-
because
I
know
you're
you're
savvy
and
you
follow
this
stuff.
There
is
a
set
of
proposed
cuts
already
in
that
second
tier.
A
The
question,
then,
is
whether
council
might
want
to
offer
a
direction
different
than
what's
in
that
that
proposed
set
of
cuts,
and
I
think
it's
an
important
question
to
raise
so
more
to
come
I'll
just
say
that
I
also
say
in
addition
to
the
economic
data
that
will
become
more
apparent
to
us
in
the
weeks
ahead,
for
example,
as
we
hear
from
the
state
about
sales,
tax
revenues
and
so
forth,
we're
also
going
to
know
more
from
the
federal
treasury
department
about
how
we
can
use
fema
reimbursements
and
cares,
act,
funding
and
other
funding.
A
B
To
see
mary
sorry
guys,
all
right
this
is
this
is
jim.
I
just
wanted
to
get
back
to
that
question
that
was
asked
earlier
about
neighborhood
traffic
calming
just
a
little
bit
more
information
yeah,
but
I
think
you
know
in
the
traffic
capital
improvement
plan,
there's
about
two
million
dollars
there
for
neighborhood
traffic
calming
type
projects
in
and
as
part
of
last
year's
budget.
We
had
an
additional
million
dollars
from
the
general
fund,
so
that
won't
be
available
in
2021.
B
So,
just
like
you
said
earlier,
resources
are
there
just
still
at,
but
at
a
reduced
level.
A
Correct:
okay,
thanks
jim
well,
thanks
to
you,
jim,
for
all
your
hard
work
and
all
the
members
of
the
city
team
that
joined
us
for
the
call
thanks
to
the
many
members
of
the
community.
A
As
always,
we
we
have
a
lot
of
interest
in
the
community
in
in
these
very
important
issues,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
engage
with
you
in
dialogue,
because
we
know
that
often
you
have
creative
ideas
and
good
suggestions
for
us
to
be
further
exploring
as
we
look
to
ensure
we
can
tighten
the
belt
without
cutting
the
services
that
are
most
critical
to
our
residents.
So
thank
you
for
your
continued
engagement.
A
As
I
mentioned,
we
will
be
coming
back
for
more
of
these
online
meetings,
though
they
we
know
that
they
are
limited
in
terms
of
access,
but
we're
gonna
do
the
best
we
can
on
may
18th.
If
you
have
any
friends
or
family
speak
spanish
they'll,
be
spanish
translation.
